The Pastor Is a Problem Every congrcg'ation' is supplied with hypercritics who figure &hat their dime in the collection box puts them on the board of tc'ustees. The~ are the judges of the community, the arbiters wh. decide that this was rig'ht and that was .wrong. They take particu lar pains to make life unpleasant for thei, pastor. If he asks for money, he Is charged with worldliness; if his church falls to pieces. he is a poor financier. If he has bazaars. he is bleeding the people; if he doesn't, there is no social life in the parish. If he preaches more than five minutes. he is long-winded; if his sermon is short, he hasn't prepared for it. If he calls on his parishioners, he is considered a bore; if he .oesn't, he is high-hatted. If he gesticulates during his sermon, he is trying to be dramatic; if he confines himself to the beatitudes, he is condemned for his platitudes. If he owns a car, he is too worldly; if he doesn't, he alwayS arrives too late on sick calls. If he gives advice in the confessional, he is consuming time; If he doesn't, he is not a good director. If he starts Ma'ss on time, his watch is fast; if he starts late, he is holding back the congregation. The critics keep the pastor'» hands full - of everything except money. -Southwest Courier
