How would YOU
Work,
TH&r is the kind of increase in salary
the minister has received. His living
expenses have risen just as fast and as far
as yours.
Put he is paid on the average just 52 cents
more per church member than he was paid 34
years ago.
. Yhe Never Fails You
Every officer bf die Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first

But 80% of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as a minimum
for the support of an average faipily.
When hospitals need money they enlist the
support of the ministers—and receive it.
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they must be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s.
* 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic.
We Pay Him Half the Wag*’ of a Mechanic
And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do

an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
All pf us share in the' benefits of Christian ministers to
the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our
children; visit us when we are side. In their hands is the
spiritual training of the youth.
We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense
Part of the Interchurch World program is ervis—a living
wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant,
and a chance to do a big man's job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It’s the best investment for your community—and
for your children—that you can ever make.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
LET THERE BE NO DISCORDS
If your Ford car is out of tune, there is un
doubtedly a good reason for it. And the best
way to find that reason and have it remedied,
is to drive to our authorized Service station
where one of our mechanics who knows tne
Ford way to adjust and repair Ford cars, can
tune it up in a shop that is properly equipped
to give Ford service; Then, too, we use only
Genuine Ford-made parts. They wear trom
thirty-five to one hundred per cent longe
than the counterfeit parts.
We are a part of the gigantic Ford service
organization; we have more than a passing
interest in your car. Prompt service is given
on all work. Drive in and see for yourseii,
there’s too much money invested in your roro
car to miss connections with the authorized
Ford dealers.
