_ADVICE TEW YUNG KLERGYMEN._
Dont preach the gospel for less than 850 dollars a year, salary payable
quarterly in advance.
A congregashun who kant afford tew pay 850 dollars a year, want a
missionary more than they do a klergyman.
Be sure and run the church; don't let the church run you.
Az i sed up at the top, git az mutch ov yure salary az possible in
advance, for i dont kno ov enny det so hard tew kollekt az a minister's
salary, after it once gits kold.
