Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address on Behalf of the Society for the Relief of Superannuated Ministers: And the Indigent Families of Deceased Ministers of the Synod of South Carolina
It ought to be remembered, moreover, that by law a home was provided for the Levite, which could not be perpetually alienated from him. It was his, as well during his age and feebleness, as when his sinewy strength lugged the bullock to the altar, and piled the wood for sacrifice. He was never, at any period of his life, Whether in active service or not, left without a shelter for himself and his family. Nor are we any where informed that when he ceased to discharge the active duties of his office, he ceased to receive the regular stipend yielded by tithes. In fine, there is nothing to show that he did not receive, in time of disability and age, precisely the same salary which he had worked for before.
