For porno time past vests have been

Most of us, if naked how many points
n star should have, would say llvo,
and cite the Hag as proof; but the di
rect ir of the mint has lately corrected
this misapprehension In niiMvcrlug nn
Impilry on tho subject. Ho calls atten
tion to the fact that the stars on tho
great seal of the United States and on
the seal of the President nro tlve-imlnt-ed,
but that the stars are six-pointed
m the real of the House of Represen
tative; and further to the six-pointed
stars vn the obverse of the half and
quarter-dollar coins and tho live-point,
ed stars on tho reverse. The reverse
of these wins Is a copy of the great
heal with the clouds and stars omitted.
8o fur us known, the slx-ixilutcd star J
comes from copying, the colonial clns
iiuido after the manner of Ihigllsh her
aldry, which sanctions thut star. The
mm ,on ;the flag mre copied from tU
Washington coat of arms.
An ,edltorlal article In a rellgloua
monthly calls renewed attention to the
shortage bf Protestant preachers of
ability, it. Is said. that .tho ministry na
.a piofesslan has lost Its attractiveness
for nblo men, desplto tho rapid growth
of tho churches In mcinbershlp, the
marked tncrcaso In tho population of
the country, and tho constant demand
for .thoroughly equipped persons to nil
places of Importance, n denmtid unpre
cedented In the history of the Christian
church. Tho theory Is ndranccd that
Independent and energetic students are
not attracted by .tho modem plan of
mli'lsterlal education which provides
iree tuition, free room rent, and often
cash payments) ns well to such as feci
thut they .are called to preach. An en
dowment ojf a million dollars for educa
tion of preachers sometimes lies prac
tically Idle Cor lack of students to uso
tho income. The samo conditions are
to Jm found lu tho schools of all Prot
estant denominations. The futuro pVy
slclnn or lawyer Js placed its Bhnrp can
trnpnultlon. lie .usually lias much
higher fees to pay, hns much smaller
funds lu the way rf scholarship nld to
draw up, and knows that n dlecourug
ug wait Is certain after he Is admitted
.to practice beforo the Jlrst patient or
4I( ut uppear. The theological student
steps at onus from the (commencement
jiliilform, with his diploma certifying
to tbo completion of a glrtm courso vf
training, during which ho lias been cnr
rled along financially Into & waiting
pulpit His salary and his ilfo work
Iwgln when his preliminary preparation
ends. And yet few able youths seek
the preacher's enreer. Tho editorial
writer suggests that this easy way of
getting an education anil n II vol I hood
dors not npKfi to tie nctlvo and enr
getlc and that, ns a consequence, the
ministry get only thoso who like lint
MW life. Hut there nro other reasons
which might bo adduced for the famine
In ministers. There was n time when
the preacher was tho most Important
IHirsonngo In the community. Ills Influ
ence was wmiinandlng. Tho church af
forded the only avenuo to fame for the
bright young mini. Tho Industrial work
er, tho manufacturer, tho merchant, tho
farmer, wcro not supposed to need edu
cation. The administrator as such had
not dovcloped. Ilut recent years have
witnessed n compluto chnngo In condi
tions. I'M ucn led men nro welcomed :tad
win success In ninny lines of Ilfo, Indo
pontlcnco mid wealth both awaiting tho
Industrious who may have great Inllu
enco and iwwor. Np longer having n
mnuoM)ly of education and Information
the minister Is coiiiK.'llcd to computo
with great nowNpnpers, with many marr
azlnrfl lu reach of tho masses, with n
Hood of useful and helpful hooks, and
with constantly Improving method1! of
tutliiencliig thought. Ills hearers often
aro as well educated as himself. Ho Is
rchtrnlned by church creeds. Ho Is
poorly paid. If ho Is an orator the lec
ture platform Ih open tn him. There
nro many reasons why tho pulpit
should not be so attractive for nblo men
us It was once.
