India's material development In the

Tho olden time pastor, grown gray
In tho service of a community, who
can look back over two or three gen
erations of parishioners, thinking of
parents and grandparents and thett
many descendants, christened, married,
and burled under his ministrations, hat
no chanco to-day. Ills old wblto church
with Its clock-faced tower has gone,
along with the old families, the old
homesteads, the old Influences which
once marked American life. Ills con
stituents are no longer content to sit
in box pows beneath the high pulpit to
listen to sermons on eternal damna
tion, total depravity, Justification by
faith, sanctlflcatlon, or tho final per-
scvoranco of tho saints. Fluency of ex
pression, power In prayer, sincerity
and godliness of life no longer com
plete tho equipment of ono who Is to
hold n placo ns pastor of a growing
church. And when tho demands Un
tho inodom minister nro all considered,
It Is not specially surprising that tho
profession no longer draws from each
community those who seem most likely
In point of attainment No. Tho mod
cru congregation must hnvo an up-to-
dato building, fully as attractive as
any othor In tho community, Its exter
nal architecture no mora ploaslug than
tho completeness of It Interior fur
nishings, Its fine onnn well adapted
to accompany tho trained singers who
are dcjicnded upon for tho music of tho
service. To secure theso things monoy
Is needed, and no pastor Is fitted for
tho place unless ho has tlio rare power
of raising funds, or at least of stimu
lating leaders of his flock who know
how to draw the dollars from the criti
cal worshliwrs. "Wo need a sort of
canvassing agent a man with tho pep
slstouce of a book or llfo Insurance
ngont" Is a pretty frank and exprcs-
slvo way of stating what probably li
the real feeling of many church mem
bers to-day. Tho chances nro that tha
average minister who Is led to adopt
tho calling from a senso of man's need
of salvation Is unfitted for this sort
of a canvass. Tho modern pastor must
bo a social loador. He must know how
to shine at a wedding or at an after
noon tea, and must bo as graceful lu
these respects as he Is dignified and
Impressive In connection with tho for
mal ceremonial functions of his 'church.
Ills calls must lie numerous and they
must be occasions for pleasant ex
change of greetings rather than dread
ed Interviews on personal religion.
Sometimes It soems as If a pastor "not
afraid of notoriety," as one put It In
connection with a recent case, Is call
ed for by modern religious leadors. In
many cases It Is moro than likely that
the student fond of books and the com
panionship of letters, Is as Ill-fitted to
attend to the social duties of his pro
fession as he Is to collect delinquent
subscriptions or lift a mortgage from
the property of an already overbur
dened parish. And then, to mako It all
the worse, tho present day congrega
tion Is oxcodlngly hnrd to please. Tho
Instruction once given through the pul
pit alone Is now afforded by a thou
sand media. The Increased circulation
of the daily papers, the development of
wldoly rend religious and seml-rellg-lous
weeklies, tho multiplication of
philanthropic, charitable, social and
educational activities, the Increase In
the number of topics upon which the
modern minister must keep Informed,
all these combine with tho money-raising
requirements and tlio social duties
to make the minister's life a strenuous
one, with plenty of criticism and with
retirement threatening when tho step

A Pleasant Way to Travel
The above is the usual verdict of the
traveler using the Missouri Pacflc Rail
way between the Pacific Coast and tho
East, and we believe that the service
and accommodations given merit this
statement. From Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo there are two
through trains daily to Kansas City
and St. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat
est standard electric lighted sleeping
cars, chair cars and up-to-date dining
cars. The same ozcollent servico is
operated from Kansaa City and St.
Louis to Memphis, Little Rock and
Hot Springs. If you are going East or
