Kansas Pastor Decides He Cannot
Live Honest Life in the
Ministry.
LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 7. "1
don't biiliev a minister of. the Gos
pel can lead an honest life now,"
was the startling statement made to
day by the Rev. P. H. Carriok, who
has just resigned thq pastorate of
the North Lawrence Christian
I'hureb.
Mr. Cnrrirk has given up his am
bition to teach the religion of
Christ, and has accepted a job with
the Lawrence Street Railway eom-
pni3 as a conductor.
'The public never sees behind tin
screen of the pastor's home." said
Mr. Carrick. "or it midit realize the
trials, the griefs and pains the pas
tor and bis wife are forced to bear.
A preacher's wile cannot even make
a pretense of dressing or dining well
or the people will think they are pay
in? their pastor too much, or that he
ought t,o save part ot his salary and
give it to the missions. He cannot
put on a pair of patent leather shoes
without every single person who has
contributed the smallest mite toward
his salary looking at them as if to
say, 1 helped to pay for those
shoes; there's where our money
goes.
"No, sir, I don't believe a preacher
can live a really honest life. If he
preaches the truth he will be con
demning the lives of most of his con
gregation and offennding them. In
stead of preaching their convictions
the preachers of the Gospel avoid
anything that might tread upon per
sonal grounds for fear of giving of
fense. The preacher passes over
this and that, and lives a lie every
dayl of his life in order not to of
fend the influential members of his
eogregation.
"Thank God. I am earning nn hon
est living now, and nobdy can crit
