ing Postmaster General Wynne to in
vestigate the many devices submitted

ports the Chicago Chronicle, 1t was
suggested by the pastor, Rev. j. j.

church as democracy, giving every
body opportunity and indueement to
contribute. AT n meeting Of influential
members he explained his plan. He
showed a large roster with all the
members of the church on it. Opposite
each name are SO spaces for credit
marks. The roster is placed in the
vestibule of the church, where it re-
mains, and is in plain view of everyone
entering the church. AT the close of
every month the roster is taken down
and all who have contributed any
thing TO the current expenses of the
church arc checked up in the spaces OPP
posite the names. The amount paid is
not given, but the check indicates that
something, however small, has been
paid toward the support of the church.
The contributions come into the hands
of the clerk by means of envelopes,
and the amount and name are obtained
in this way. The roster viii show Just
who has paid anything and who has not.
