HOME-GATHERING DAY.
Interesting Exercises Held Sunday at
Long Creek Presbyterian Church
Three Former Pastors Present.
At Long Creek Presbyterian
church in this county Sunday a most
Interesting program was carried out,
the day being celebrated as Home-
Gathering Day. The original plans
for the celebration contemplated a
two days meeting including both
Saturday and Sunday, but the ex
tremely inclement weather of Satur
day required the crowding of the en
tire program into one day on Sun
day. It was also expected that there
would be present a large attendance
of former parishoners from a dis
tance, but the bad weather also
worked to keep a good many of these
away. However, on Sunday at both
the morning and afternoon hours
there was present a large congrega
tion from the surrounding neighbor,
hood and the program was carried
oat completely

Fifty-Seven Preachers Quit the Min
istry.
Nashville Christian Advocate.
Firty-sven members of the Upper
Iowa Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church have surrendered
their credentials and will engage in
secular pursuits. Many of these men
are university graduates, and a num
ber have attained local distinction.
It is safe to say that they are men
above the average in point of intel
lect and ability. The reason given
ror this wholesale abandonment of
the ministry is that the salaries paid
are not sufficient to maintain their
families according to a decent stand
ard of living and to give their chii
dren the education they deem neces
sary. The cost of living is increas
ing every year, and the compensa
lion or tne preacner has not kent
pace with it. In the Upper Iowa
Conference the average Is less than
$700, and many receive less than

are flying in every Conference in

of actual suffering in the families of
preachers have been reported.
