Ingram looked at her pale. pure face
with a startled glance. and saw that
tears were fast gathering In her eyes.
Was there some hidden trouble In her
serene and lovely life? He could not
think It, She had outlvcd the pain
and annoyance Of her old playmate's
ruin; she had received her brother
back from the very jaws of death; all
was fair and pleasant around her
Her step was light rs only that of

Dr. Pullman Thinks 100000 Year for
sixteen Men Too Muc;i.

In tho Christian Adrocaie for Feb ID there is q
letter written by the Rev. DR.. Joseph Pullman
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church. about the
money spent by the sixteen Bishops OF that do
nominations Tho sum OF $780, 900 Is yearly set
aside for the use of the Bishops. In his let
ter Dr. Pullman wants to know why so much
money Il needed. The amount contributed
toward tho salarcs of the Bishops is $50, 900.
Dr. Pullman asks!
"Whcre does The remaining sloo. 600 60 to ?"
Il has been suggested that the money is needed
10 dcfTHv the travelling expenses OF the Bishops,
but Dr. Pullman says:
" lhe travelling expenses of the Bishops. II
we may Judge by taiCincnts published BY some
of them. are not colossal. and yet over $500, 900
is asked for their support. What sort OF travel
i;mE iaaa w ''''N0' sue" ''a'm 0" the Episcopal
lie goes on to ask IL dedications cornerstone
layings, aud sermons for brnovoenCes are
within the regular duties OF the Bishop, the
payment OF which should be included in the
amount set aside Tor travelling expenses.
II is well known tho letter continues,
" that some of our bishops set price for their
labors when called on These occasions, and at
times the price is so high that other arrange
ments are forced upon the CHURCHES"
Dr. Pullman suggests tlat possibly the salaries
OF the Bishops are not largo enough to meet the
needs of the case. Their expenses are necessarily
large, for tney are required to traverse the Gu
the course of his duty, visit each conference in
the country, OF which there are nearly l2O. The
question Is. however, dues 1t require the sum OF
Sl"0.O0u to mc,t these travelling expenses?
According to the Doctor. after deductins lber-
ally Tor shrirl;aEe. an immense sum is left for
that purpose he question IL asked. why is 80
vast sum needed to support sixteen mon in
addition to their regular SALARY OF S5.OOOH
The letter says that II the extra charges asked
for by the bishops are Occasloned exclusively by
their expenses in reaching the appointments,
ana such expenses are not otherwise provided
Tor. the facts should be thoroughly understood.
otherwise the loyalty of the congregations to
the Church governmental system may be weak

1t is sail that the subject has been DISCUSSED
among many of the clerCyn,cn OF the Methodist

POTTER 10 VISIT ST IGN4TIUs,s.
But the Bishop Put. on lit. Visit Until the
Last Canonicil Moment.

Bishop Potter for the first time in three years,
IS to visit the Church OF 81. IGnatius, in West
Forticth street. According to the statement of
the assistant rector, Father Gorgas the visit
will take place toward the end of April. when
the Bishop will conduct the confirmation SER
vices. No public announcement of the event
has been made, but Father Gorgas said yester-
dar that IL Eul been definitely decided III on. nj
though the exact date Tor the visit has not yet
been iiSro. 1t is nor even known "a yet whether
II WIZ take place on sunday or ON week day.
Services are he'd every day at st. lgnatius's
The seeming reconciliation between Bishop
Potter and thccnurch has apparently tax en- the
form OF II lack-down on the part OF the Bishop,
Tor Father oorgits says that no change has been
made or is projected IN tho ritnal or services,
OF long standing. The objections OF tho E,shop
were tasc'i upon the extremely High Church
viewsani practices OF the rector, Father Ritchie.
The ritual Of thc Church OF ST. ignatius differs
but slightly from that of the Roman Catholic
lhutch save IL the Que point of non knowledg-
DrGtcd. The doctrine OF the real presence Is adj
herca to. anu thc sacrament is reserved In the
church. Al the sO-called high mass the sacra-
ment is practically restricted to the celebrant.
10 manyof hcso things Bishop Porter naturally
objected, and some of them were held to be in
contravent!on OF the canOps and articles OF re-
ligion; but the rector and congregation refused
TO make any changes.
The Bishop is required to visit each church in
his diocese once in three wears. Ii this Is not
done he must appear before II committee of the
House OF Bishop, and show cause for not doing

visit TO the latest possible date is regarded as
evidence of his extreme disiavor and a re urtant
conformity with the ChurCh's rules for the pur-
pose Of avoiding public breach with ST.
