The Rev. Baker p. Lee OF Lexington,
Ky, received call to Grace GpiscopaD
church OF Chicago. one OF the richest
churches OF its denomination in the

ought to complete it. And when sew
eral Lexington citizens offered to sup
plement his Lexington salary and make
1t equivalent TO the salary offered by
Grace church he declined their offer
and declared that the question OF sal

DIR. Frank De Witt Talmage possesses
many of the characteristics that dis
