Ministers Badly Paid
Luke 10:5-7
And into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.…


I wonder whether some of the people who come to bear Christ's servants ever ask themselves the question, "How do these ministers live and pay their way?" "I thought they preached for souls," said one of these spiritual mendicants to Mr. Spurgeon, who required an able and intelligent preacher for the munificent sum of £60 a year. "So they do," replied the famous preacher; "but they would need some thousands of souls of your size to keep them from starving."

(Henry Varley.)
