HAT is the kind of increase in salary
the minister has received. His living
expenses have risen just as fast and as far
as yours.
But he is paid on the average just 52 cents

years ago.

The M inister N ever Fails You
Every officer of the Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
of all.
But 80% of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as a minimum
for the support of an average family.
When hospitals need money they enlist the
support of the ministers—and receive it.
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they must be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s.
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week—aboift half the pay of a mechanic.

And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do
y o u contribute? Nothing if you are outside the cnurch;
an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
