Description

Excerpt from One Hundred Tenth Annual Report of the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America<br/><br/>A year ago we made provision by which the Board. Would Oco Operate with churches in securing for the missionaries a mini mum salary of eight hundred dollars. This in most cases has been reached and is still found to be inadequate. In many parts of the country it is impossible to secure a fair living for a fam ily on that sum. The Board has, therefore, taken another ad vance step. It proposes now to make nine hundred dollars the minimum for the missionary's salary. This will be done, how ever, only on two conditions: First, that the congregation that is being served shall cooperate with the Board in this advance; and, secondly, that the missionary shall become an installed pas tor: this in order to secure that great essential for permanent progress in the more permanent relation of the missionary to the people. Within nine years four new and very important departments have been formed. All of them began in small ways, but under the most insistent demands. All of them have now grown to be very considerable factors in the development of the broaden ing and deepening work of home missions. Intensive mission ary farming now covers the country in its imperative demands. The Church and Labor Department, organized nine years ago, has by the order of the last General Assembly been enlarged into a Bureau of Social Service, which is to include not only the relations of working men to the Church, but a consideration of all moral and social problems. It is just at the beginning of this enlarged service.
