A religious contemporary says:
Borrowing money on church proper
~ is not always an easy thing, and for
two reasons. one is that 1t is peculiarly

and the other Is that there are very few
people who want to buy church. one

customer is found. Usually few men
In tho church have to become personally
Responsible, and that Is the better way.
A genuine security is given. The best
way Is not to have any debts at all.
Now, here Is sad confession. that
flew men" In the church. whose per-
eonal honor is involved are more honest
than the entire membership. For one
time the part Is greater than the whole.
We remember not long since sitting In
a handsome church building which we
knew had not been paid for. and listen,
Ing to scathing sermon on the general
subject of deht paying, IN which the
minister literally roasted the fellow who
had on new Sunday suit which had not
been settled for. and we could but be
