A MINISTER'S WORTH.
Tho Tulsa Democrat last wook's
issue was a cracker-Jack consisting
of twenty-four pagos on book paper
containing n full nnd complete write-
up of Indian Torritory and Tulsa and
her prominent business nion and town
builders In particular. It Ib a hand-
wmo edition ono any city of groator
pretension might woll bo proud of and
n credit to Its onterprlslng nowspapor.
Sonator Tillman In an intorvlow
says that If tho Ohio platform Is made
the national measure It will mean a
revival ot tho nnto-bollum days and
leavo national politics moroly n ques-
tion ot tho whl to man or tho negro.
Ho ayB tho repeal of tho fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments In inevita-
ble and may bo taken up in tho na-
tional Democratic convention.
A thing that Is ovorlookod In tho ef-
forts to advanco tho Intorost of i town
is that unity of purposo Is absolutely
necessary. Says an oxchange: It Is
next to Itnposslblo to mako any degree
of progroBB In a small cHy or town
whero tho cltizons dlvldo upon every
laudiblo ontorprlso acknowledged to
bo of Intorost to tho community ns n
whole Thoro are too many who are
so bllndod by solflshness Uiey cannot
sco how anything benefits anyono olso
at tho samo tlmo. . Tho world Is not
mado solely for ono class nor that
all entorprlsoB should bo directed for
their ospccial bonoflt. If It wore not
for tho benefit such pcoplo have re-
ceived from others thoy would have
been in a bad condition.
Thero Is a good deal of talk about
Dr. Lorlmcr's Balary. Ho preaches In
Now York. Boston wnnts him hav
ing had a tasto ot his efficiency and
has offered blm $20000 a year and a
parsonage that Is anything but a hut
It Is a high wator mark salary and
causos discussion becauso thero aro
pcoplo who do not bollovo that a mln
later of tho gospel should allow monoy
to detormlno his location or that any
mlnlstor should bo paid $400 a wcok.
Thero Is a buslnoss sldo to It. Even
In churches tho public gets about what
It paya for. A $300 preachor Is sel
dom worth 'much more to his congre
gntion. Ho may be a good man nnd
Indeed may be Impelled by fine mo-
tives but ho laoks tho mysterious
somothlng that fills the pews charges
tho very air with electricity and makes
tho pcoplo troasuro his words nnd
support his projects.
Thoro nro preachers who would be
cheap nt $20000 and others who
wouldb o oxponslvo at $600. In this
ago tho successful preacher Is very
much a business man. Ho makoa
frlonds ns easily ns does a drummer.
Ho Is a good inlxor. Ho tins a hearty
way about him that draws pcoplo to
him. Ho Is not a thing in common with
the dry-ns-dust prone-horn who sovon-ty-llvo
yonrs ngo scarod thoir congre-
gations half to death nnd bolioved that
fimllos woro a species ot sin and
laughtar an abomination.
Tho up to dnto proachor of this ago
can talk politics as well as religion.
Ho is practical. Ho gets woll Into tho
lives of his parishioners. Ho llkoa
tho sport of tho honost manly kinds;
ho rcfusoB to bo small In any wny.
Ho Is a good friend na woll as a good
eader. Ho has a kcon mind and whon
ho talks ha Bays things that prove that
ho has Leon thinking.
You cannot fix tho valuo of that
kind of a minister. Ho Is worth what-
ever a church can afford to pay him
and If tho sum Is $20000 thero isn't
n shadow of a doubt that he will do
his community $20000 worth of good.
