sion stations for the coming
week. He will also preach at
the Presbyterian church of Sitka
and at the Sheldon Jackson Jun
ior college.
The Rev. John Reynolds, as
sistant pastor of the church, has
been invited by the University
Presbyterian church of Seattle,
Wash. ,to speak at its annual con
ference for college young people
this week end. He will return to
Medford Monday, Oct. 22, and
will assume the pastoral respon
sibilities of the church during
Dr. West's absence.
Precise comparisons are im
possible because of wide varia
tions in statistigs collected by
different religious bodies on
clergymen's, income. Govern
ment agencies have collected no
official figures since the 1950
census. '
The census showed that the
median income of male clergy
men in 1949 was 52,412 less
than that of any other profes
sional group and below many
non-professional groups such as
bus drivers, bakers and black
smiths. ,
The United Press survey show
ed that ministers in many de
nominations have received sub
stantial pay raises since 1949.
For example, increases have av
eraged 37 per cent in the Con
gregational Christian churches,
35 per cent in the United Pres
byterian church, 21 per cent in
the Protestant Episcopal church.
Dr. Benson Y. Landis, editor
of the Yearbook of American
Churches, pointed out, however,
that these increases have been
largely offset by the rise in liv
ing costs. In terms of food and
clothing, Dr. Landis said, "the
clergy still do not come off as
well as the average member of
lay society."
The survey indicated that the
present average income of
clergymen of all faiths is sub
stantially less than the average
pay of public school teachers.
The National Education associa
tion estimates the average school
teacher's pay at $4,100 a year.
