IMt ubscbittion Ofc yHtf Ms MMaCbbt row aoith Dtk Friday, nov. 15. 1907 Hundreds of readers of The Charlotte Observer who have, dario? recent weeks, keen read ing the column "By Reportorial License" signed "D", were ffreatlv interested in the an nouncement in the editorial col umn of that paper yesterday moraine that Rev. Plato Dur ham, pastor of Trinity Metho dist church, Charlotte, had been added to the editorial staff of The Observer Mr. Durham is one of the State's brightest young men and as a writer is most pleasing. As a minister he has taken rank as one of the best in the Western North Caro lina Conference. That the Methodist Church will release him from the ministry with re gret goes without saying. That I North Carolina journalism will be greatlv strengthened by the addition of this strong writer to its ranks is certain. The Ob server is to be congratulated this addition to its staff. GAZETTE, -! edly driven home to the minds of the people of this country that the reckless .methods of modern finance spell nothing bat ruin in t h e end. If the baleful effects of essentially dis honest speculation could be con fined to the men themselves who indulge in it and their families, the case would not be so bad, but as in the present instance it usually results that one man's deeds may bring on a panic that will effect the trade and industry of the whole country. FK1CE: . M on The suicide in New York yes terday of Charles Barney, whose recent removal fiom the presi dency of the Knickerbocker Trust Company is thought by some to have started the run on several New York banks which resulted in so many failures, is but another of those tragedies in the realm of high finance that have happened so frequently dur ing the past year or more. At bow terrible a cost in the wreck ing of individual lives and for tunes is the lesson being repeat- Again is beard the cry for men in the ministry. On the occasion of the gathering of almost every religious body the fact is heralded abroad that such and such a denomination needs men in its ministerial ranks. This is true of no special denomi nation but seems to characterize every religious organization. It has been the cry for several years past and seems to grow louder and more insistent every year. The accessions to the ranks of the active ministry seem hardly adequate to meet the depletion in the ranks brought about by the removals from ser vice by death or old age, and are in no way commensurate with the growing demands of the churches. The latest emphasis is placed on this fact bv reports from the Western North Caro lina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, now in session at Salisbury, to the effect that more men are needed at home and in the mission field. Various explanations are offered for this prevailing condition of affairs, not the least plausible of which is that the remuneration offered is in no wise commensur ate with that proffered by other callings open to the same men and calling for them insistently. It is an admitted fact that a large per cent of the ministers in the country could better themselves to no small extent in a financial way bf eoterlngtther fields of Iaoor that are open to them. Some object to this argument on the ground that a man who is called to preach the: Gospel should be above the considera tion of finances. It must be re membered, however, that money is one of the necessaries and that in recent years the cost of living has greatly increased without a corresponding increase in salaries of ministers. What ever the cause and other reasons are frequently advanced it is a fact to be deplored that the cry for men in the min istry is unheeded to a large ex tent. Anyone who can offer an effective remedy for this con dition will have done a great service for the religious deuotni nations. .LINCOLN LOCALS LfccolaCoanty NtwOKa. Rev. Dr. Martin D.
