POORLY PAID CLERGY
“LIVING WAGE” NEEDED. The financial status of the clergy in New Zealand was recently referred to by Dr A. W. Averill, Anglican Bisliop of Auckland. Giving it as a message to the vestries and the congregations, he asked the congregations to do their best to help the elegy and to give them really a living wage. Many of the minister's were not getting a living wag& now. Whatever they did in 'England, they did not form unions here, so far as he knew, and they did not strike, but persistently plodded on, doing their work on a stipend which many a w.atersider would refuse to look at. The secret of the success of tho diocese in the future was in the central fund, and if the people used their imagination and thought of tho suffering of some of the clergy at the present time, and helped'them, he was certain they would greatly relieve the hard-working clergy of many of their anxieties.
