eventually turned to the subject of paying the preacher wc talked of the method of the early days of meetina the deficits of his salary by donation parties surprize parties and other plans then in vague when an old chap who hod spent hla boyliood in tho state of maine spoko up and said i think can tell you a story alans that line which beats any of your plans we all sold go ahead and here a his preacher s salary yam everyone said that rev george wltham who was called elder wllliom in our church woo a good man but he wasn t popular all admitted that ho had sterling principles and that his sermons were sound lo doctrine yet few people liked him he was austere and uncompromising he came down terribly hard on blnncrn and as nearly every body sins sometimes the cider had oc casion as uie years paused to reprove almost everyone who attended church at the old chapel moreover he seldom reproved with gentleness even great sin ners aru perhaps entitled to courtesy but they got little of umt from uie elder as a consequence his salary which was always small ivda apt to be painfully in arrears no one teemed to care very much to help make it up as the season advanced and cold woallicr came on it was u shameful fact tliat the good man and hli sister aunt olive who lived with htm were at times in actual want for tlu bare necessaries of life this was the cast one november more than half tho salary for the entire year remained unpaid and in reaponsa to a pointed and well nigh pathetic appeal for it from the pulpit one sunday some waggish jwreon uftr service suggested that a grabbag be resorted to as a de vice to rtti-i- tlie necessary funds it had been proposed an a joke but tlte idea appeared lo hud favor especial ly with the young people my cousin addison hi particular
