Note and Comment

Lack of Preachers

Mr. Charles Stelzle is credited with the statement that in the United States there are 215,000 Protestant churches, and only 162,000 ministers. This leaves more than fifty thousand churches without direct pastoral oversight. It is believed that the small salaries paid and the high cost of living are largely responsible for this condition.
