TUESDAY, APRIL 2?, 1897.
As to Unemployed Clergymsn.
A clergyman, who wisely conceals his
name, declares, in a contribution to the
N. Y. Evening Post, that “the woods
are full of the unemployed,” applying
this somewhat figurative expression to
members of the clerical profession. If
this preacher’s paper should happen to
be widely read and generally accepted
as a reliable statement of the facts of
the ministerial situation, we apprehend
that many pious parents who are rearing
sons for the pulpit, and thousands of
young men who are preparing for that
high calling, would be profoundly dis-
couraged. He asserts and we are
bound to suppose that he means to tell
the truth, that there never was a time
. when a. bright, clean, self-respecting,
1, talented, and absolutely fearless young
' man undertbok a greater personal risk
HI committing himself to the restless
sea of ministerial supply and demand.
He saysithat he perceives an all-perva- _
sive restlessness and discontent, ill cou-
osaled disgust with present churchly
conditions, adeep underlying anxiety
for prospective bread and butter, and
anZominnus foreboding for the future.
He knows of an able and useful clergy-
man whose sermons are in print- in a
notable publication, and who wishing to
resign his pastorate, has deliberately
turned his attention to the study of
law, rather then enter upon a fierce,
degrading, heart-breaking competition
ion another pulpit.
. As-to the talk about the “crying need
for clergymer," this writer says it is
sentimental gush. He says it isalmost
impossible for aminister Who is with--
ontaparish to secure one. He chal-
lenges any one, East or West to name
lpfitmlefis church that is'not besieged '
with applications. After a man reaches
his fiftieth year, this writer says, he is
seldom called to a church. He recom-
mends that all young men who con-
template entering the ministry ask
themselves three questions: “Am I
willing to face the m’omentious and dis-
heartening possibilities for the sake of
preaching the gospel just as long as
my God permits?" “Is it right for
me to marry when I may be stranded
at fifty?” And amI ready to preach
wherever a church is needed for a time
without pay or social advantages or
privileges; in preference to being called
to some old hulk of an organization
politely named a Christian church, but
which ought decently to die, having
outlived its usefulness and only en-
dures because a few wealthy families
pay the bills?”
It is probable that there are, all told,
a good many unemployed ministers,
but that does not prove that the sup-
ply exceeds the demand. It simply
shows that a part of the supply does not
fulfill the required conditions.“ There
are thousands of men in the United
estates who have failed in the legal and
medical professions, and have taken up
other employments. There is a com-
paratively small number of clerical
failures. 1‘00 many young men whom
nature intended for honest manual la-
bor have tried to thwart that intent by
getting into the professions. Some of
them are still in, and are not helping
along the progress of humanity.
In spite of the gloomy outlook por-
trayedliy this and writer, we believe
there is no profession which holds out
a surer promise of a fair salary and
great social advantages than that of the
preacher. While no clergyman can '
reasonably expect to get rich, about all
the members of that calling may be
sure of a modest competency. The
graduate of a theological seminary
reaches at a single step a higher social
and financial plane than he could have
attained in two or three'years of hard
workin the law or medicine.
, God’s Pay Day.‘ .
Editor Bross of the Ridgefield Pr'ess
was in town yesterday. He is writing
his; a book to be entitled “God’s Pay
Day.” As a literary production of pro-
ductive brain it is fair to presume that
'it will when published exceed in sales
his first book, “The Modern Phariseo.”
. The book will bathe poetry of die-
_ tion but will contain no poetry, the
author reserving his poetical efl‘nsions

an IMPORTANT _ QUERY.
Unavoidable Quesiton.
When the great Hume, the free-
thinker, was asked by a lady at Bath,
Eng., whom would he depend upon the
more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
tion. or those who professed to hold his
own opinions, he frankly answered the
former. ‘
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap
hazard from our broad Republic, the
answer must frankly be, Norwalk
people every time. The only state-
ments that appear at the feet of any
proprietary medicine advertisements in
Norwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are those appended to
the reading notices published by Doan’s
Kidney Pills. Theinference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.
Read this:
Mrs. Alex. C. McLean, who lives at
No. 18 Maple street, is well known to
Norwalk people, being the wife of the
popular manager of a, big New York
Jobber’s Drug Elouse. She has been a
sufl'erer for two years and a half, was
under treatment
specialist who claimed she had chronic
Bright’s Disease. She got Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills at Hale’s drug store and be-
gan taking them. Mrs. McLean says:
“I do not care to go into the details of
my case. Doan’s Kidney Pills are
Eelping me, and I feel very much *bet-
er.
merit.” .
