Ministers’ Many Worrisome Family Problems Often Caused by Parishioners’ Unintentional Demands
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
If you could take a close-up look at your minister’s private life, what would you find?
You’d find that he hits many worrisome family problems—and that most of them are caused, unintentionally, by parishioners who expect too much of him.
A revealing glimpse into the “off-stage” life of the typical Protestant clergyman is provided by a survey just completed by the Office of Family Education Research of the United Presbyterian Church. It covered nearly 2,800 Presbyterian ministers, chosen at random from all parts of the country.
Their biggest personal headache is too little time at home.
Family Life Suffers
Church and community activities make such exorbitant demands on the average minister’s time that he has little left over to spend with his family. His wife and children complain, with jus-
tice, that they rarely get a chance to do things together like a normal family. And even when they do plan a day or an evening together, it is likely to be interrupted either by an emergency call or by one of the innumerable functions at which the pastor is expected to “put in an appearance.”
The minister’s second biggest problem, according to the survey, is that there is almost no one, outside of his own family, with whom he can let down his hair and be himself. He feels imprisoned within a stereotyped “role” that people expect him to play. He is not allowed. Like other men, to have days on which he feels cross, irritable and grumpy. He must even beware of feeling light-hearted, lest someone mistake it for implyment.
It should be noted that this problem of being “always on parade” is far more pronounced among the pastors of small town and rural churches than among ministers of big city and suburban churches.
Among Lowest Paid
A closely related complaint on many pastors is that their wives and children are expected to be “different.” Many a layman holds up for the minister’s family standard of perfection which he would never think of applying to his own family.
The ministers listed in four place the personal problem that layman might have expected them to mention first. That is difficulty in making ends meet financially.
Clergymen are the lowest-paid professional men in America. Recent study (which covered ministers in several major Protestant denominations) showed their erage salary is about $4,500 per year. It also indicated that two thirds of the Nation’s Protestant ministers are in debt. Many them reported their wives had to go to work to bring even an austerity family budget in balance.

Eternal Life Is Christian Science Topic
The popular proverb, "As the tree falls, so it must lie," is the underlying theme of the lesson-sermon on "Probation After Death" to be heard in all Christian Science churches Sunday.
From the book of Isaiah will be read, "The grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope for the truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Progress is born of experience. It is the ripening of mortal man, through which the mortal is dropped for the immortal. Either here or hereafter, suffering or Science must destroy all illusions regarding life and mind,

In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Progress is born of experience. It is the ripening of mental man, through which the mortal is dropped for the immortal. Either here or hereafter, suffering or Science must destroy all illusions regarding life and mind, and regenerate material sense and self. The old man with his deeds must be put off. Nothing sensual or sinful is immortal. The death of a false material sense and of sin, not the death of organic matter, is what reveals man and Life, harmonious, real, and eternal."
Isaiah declares in the golden text, "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
