[Pay and parsons]

“There were colliers in Durham earning £12 a week said the Rev. .J. J. Wardle Stafford, of Newcastle-on-Tyne.” (“Reynolds’s,” Feb. 25th, 1917). And there are parsons getting £15,000 and £10,000 a year for preaching “A new commandment give I unto you that ye love one another.” But, of course, there are smaller fry even among the clergy who get a lesser amount.
