' If the Pastor Falls D own TOP and give a minute's clear and honest thought to what a variety of abili ties a minister's position demands of him. He needs to be a smooth, fluent orator. He ought to bave not merely words, but ldeasvtoo; be very decidedly needs to be a thinker. He needs a lot of book knowledge the ology, philosophy, bistory. and the like all the time; people won't stand for him unless he is also very much of a "mixer," perfectly at home among men. And, of course, the modern peach- er should be an organizer masterful as a general thing in fitting people Into the places where they belong. He doesn't dare, however, to show a bit of a general's spirit of command; he's bound to manage people wholly by persuasiveness which takes enor mous - persuasiveness. The preacher should be an acute, accurale, discreet business man In ortJer to keep a church "temporalities" ore of tangle And above all, be taust be a spiritually-minded man, though at the same time It is highly important that he must uot be a visionary; people won't listen to him if he is not practical. Many Qualities Combined. Just see what a tremendous bundle of qualities you've got. You could make a lawyer, a politician, a busi ness man. a teacher, a settlement worker, a popular lecturer, an author. a. pirlosopher. a man-arouna-town. an out of that combination, and have a lot of qualities left over to distribute along a whole line of occupations from family physician to church jan itor. Yet you're supposing that you've hired the whole combination in the pastor of your church, and are expect ing to get the benefit of each of these various elements of strength all out of one n:an. But you won't; somewhere in the list you're due for a disappointment. If your minister is a great preacher, it's more than likely he won't be very strong on organization. If he's a gen tle, comforting pastor, he may very probably be a good deal lacking in the pulvit. If he Is a deep student. be may be awkward out among men If he's a hearty good fellow to meet he may impress you as not very deep Intellectually, or even spiritually Some day before long you 11 find a weak side to him. Every church when It calls a new pastor ought to watch narrowly to So see where he Is going to fall down. But not to get a chance to complain God forbid! When a pastor falls down, then the church has discovered where it can help him. How He Should Be Helped. If the preacher shows up Inefficient in organizing the people for work, then that's the signal for men In the church who are strongest In the knack of organization to turn In and line up the membership for effective results. If the pastor seems to get tangled and befuddled when money matters are to be dealt with, then let Jen used to handling dollars step forward and get the money worry off the pas tor's mind. L If the pastor Is slow about calling on strangers and diffident In meeting newcomers, let the folks that have easy social graces go In strong for friendly visiting and handshaking. If the Sunday chool lags or the prayer meeting Is dull, and the pastor doesn't seem to know what to "o about It. let the congregation boom those features of work with their own effort Finally, here's a rule for a going and growing church: "Count on your pastor's abilities as his chance; count on his abilities as your chance." MUST PAY FOR EVERYTHING All Things In Life, Both Worthy and Unworthy, Have a Price Set Upon Them. While everything has Its price, it Is not true that every man has his price. It Is a foul libel on our common hu manity to say so. There are men in every station In life not purchasable. Gold and place cannot buy them. The offer or a crown could not swerve Washington from the path of duty. However, there is a sense In which a man may have his price. Ambition may inspire nlm. The rewards of am bition stand for the price with which be is to be purchased. If he Is seeking fame, the piins. research, adventure and tolls which accompany that seek ing stand for his price. Then be must pay the nrice for the attainment of virtue by which to attain the con sciousness cf serving God. a price be yond any arithmetical value. Bishop Samuel Fallows. Reformed Episco palian, Chicago. -r Faith Without Works. Orthodox must bear fruit, for faith wlthout"orks is dead; such fruita as are honoring to God and helpful to man. Can the church blame the world for its rejection of its message when its membership are aiding Dr. Jekyll andJarHxoe? Rev. J. M. Wilson, Presbyterian Chicago. - , Penny column ads are CASH. . AS J.
