SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN THE MINISTRY.

If managers of railroads had occasion to raise the question, "How shall we secure an adequate supply of engineers ?" they would at once turn their attention to the laws of supply and demand. They would hope for a solution of their question only in accordance with those laws. They would say, "The question is the same in its essential elements as if it related to commodities instead of men. An adequate supply of engineers is to be secured on the same principles as an adequate supply of coal. Briefly, the demand must bring the supply. The demand is the force of whose action the supply will be the effect."

What do they mean by demand? and how does the force which they thus name operate? The demand for coal is a desire to possess coal, for its proper use, so strong that those influenced by it are willing to pay for it, to give money or other articles of value in exchange for it. In view of this known demand, other men are disposed to apply their energy and capital to the business of procuring coal and bringing it to the consumers. That is, as we say, mining it and bringing it to market.

The demand for engineers is a desire for their services which makes employers willing to pay them just wages-wages which will be sufficient to support them and their families; wages which will remunerate them for the time and expense of fitting them

selves for the business; wages the expectation of which will induce young men to prepare themselves for that employment by suitable education.

We may not dismiss these views as altogether secular or as having no application to sacred business. Those principles which determine the relations of demand to supply in trade and in all secular enterprises do not derive all their force from the selfishness of men. They stand closely related to very high ethical principles-principles which are recognized by our Lord as applicable to labors in his service, when he says, "The laborer is worthy of his hire;" and by inspired Paul, when, with similar application, he wrote, "Who goeth a warfare any time. at his own charges;" and when he further wrote, "Even so hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel shall live of the gospel." We may not then dismiss as wholly inapplicable to our sacred enterprise the views which would be decisive in connection with any honorable secular enterprise.

Those views and those principles have some just application here. We must not ignore them, but place them in their true relations and their proper subordination.

We hold it equally certain that to remit this question wholly to those principles of political economy would be disastrous to the church and to religion. For an adequate
