The Harm of Preacher Donations

By J. M. Long

WE think it a great mistake for the preacher to allow himself to be placed before society as a ward and pensioner. The habit of looking for and receiving presents tends to eviscerate all the manhood out of a preacher. Donation parties gotten up for the preacher, are, in nine cases out of ten, efforts to cover over the failure to do simple justice, with the thin veil of liberality.—J. M. Long.
