Excerpt from Statement of Facts From Each Religious Denomination in New England, Respecting Ministers' Salaries
At the last annual meeting of the "Society for the Relief of Aged and Destitute Clergymen," it was unanimously voted to choose a Committee of three clergymen and three laymen, whose duty it should be to collect information concerning ministers' salaries in New England; and then communicate to the public the facts and opinions they should gather, unaccompanied by any advice or opinions of their own.
The Committee consisted of the Rev. Charles Brooks, Rev. Christopher T. Thayer, Rev. F. D. Huntington, Josiah Bradlee, Esq., Deacon Moses Grant, and Hon. Albert Fearing.
That Committee has performed the arduous and delicate duty with strictest impartiality. They issued a private Circular, dated March 1, 1854, and sent a copy to each clergyman in Massachusetts, to each bishop of the Protestant Episcopal and Methodist Churches, and to as many other Ministerial Associations, Theological Seminaries, and Presidents of Colleges, in other States, as they supposed could feel interested in this local movement. To these circulars were appended the following questions: -
"1. What is the average of ministerial salaries in your Association? 2. Has any change in public sentiment respecting ministers' salaries taken place in your community within the last twenty years? 3. Do you think that any young men have been prevented from entering the ministry in consequence of the insufficiency of salaries? or have any clergymen left the profession on that account? 4. Do you think that the cause of the Redeemer is suffering from the want of an adequate pecuniary support of the clergy? 5. Do you think that proper pecuniary support is necessary to induce the ablest minds among you to enter the ministry, after the present time?
