•That the minister needs above all,

Rev. Jas. Anthony in his address on
“The Perils and Problems of the
Ministry” at the meeting of the
South Huron Ministerial Association.
The meeting was held at the James
Street parsonage, Exeter, on Monday
afternoon. That quality which en
ables the business man to know
when to buy and to sell or enables
the statesman to know what to do
in an emergency, is the same quality
of common sense which will enable
the minister to leave behind him
a drop of .good here and there.
