To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In connection with the foregoing statements of the nomi- nal amount of the salaries of Presbyterian pastors, it should be remembered that, with very few exceptions, the sums mentioned are all that they receive. Some few churches have provided parsonages or dwelling houses for their pastors, and in some few instances, in the country, a lot of ground is added for their accommodation. But these exceptions are rare. In general, the pastors are obliged to pay their house rent out of their salary — a...nd in no instance, within my knowledge, is anything allowed, in addition to their salary, for table expenses, fuel, furniture, travelling expenses, &c. Nor is there any provision made for the " occasional dis- tresses''^ of Presbyterian pastors or their families. No mat- ter how inadequate their salary may be to their support — no matter how much in arrears their people may be in paying them what they had promised — no matter what providential misfortunes may have overtaken them, there is no provision made for their relief — no general fund from which they may derive assistance.
