Famous English Prelate Who IS Hustler
Lo a and ike

would so mad The thing is to take
each duty separately, to believe that
every word counts and to leave the
rest in the hands of our Father"
HIS SALARY is $4,000.
six years ago DR.. Ingram was made
full-fledged bishop with the whole
, see of London TO rule over and "A seat
in the gidcd chamber as one of the
lords spiritual. 1t was "A great change
for the frugal bachelor. in lieu of n
plain dwelling in the midst of the
slums his residence was now Fulham
palace, great big place with no less
than forty four bedrooms and set in
spacious ana beautiful grounds. An
other mansion in st. James square
which would rent for $4,000 a year was
added to his Episcopal domain His
salary was raised TO $4,000 year
which is the highest salary paid To any
bishop. He didn't want the palace
and he didn't want the mansion, but
they went with the job and he had to
take them, although he protested that
he would much prefer living In a sim
pie fiat and dividing his income among
the poorer clergy. That he could not
have his way affords an Illustration of
the many anomalies that discredit the
Church of England and render it's dis
establishment some day inevitable.
DOES NOT PAY EXPENSES.
As matter of fact. with such need
lessly costly establishments to MAIN
tain, his big salary does not suffice to
pay his expenses Some years ago
with characteristic courage and frank
ness. he published a balance sheet
showing just how the money goes. II
shows that since he left the slums for
a palace he has been growing poorer
at the rate sometimes OF considerably
over 81 900 a year. How he contrives
to keep out OF the bankruptcy court is
q secret known perhaps TO a few OF his
wealthy friends There have been many
bishops in the Church of England who
have managed TO lay up considerable
treasures on earth as well, presumably,
as In heaven, but the bishop OF Lon
don II not one of them.
HUsTLEs HARDER THAN EVER.
AS bishop of London he hustles hard
or now than ever before. He rises at
an hour when most servants are still
abed. and seldom rctires before Md
night. The head of lnnumeruble So
cicties, and with the most populous dio-
cese in the world In his charge, the de-
mands on his time are incessant. 1t is
purely to save time that he now uses
n motor car or a horse and carriage to
get around London instead of travel
ing I'm the numbering bus or street car
lie does most OF his reading and COM
poses his sermons and addresses while
driving through the streets Of the
metropolis to on from his numerous en-
gngements His carriage ana motor
car are fitted with an electric lamp so
that he can read by night while on the
20. hut he bCthers himself as little
as ever about dignity
HE GOES STUNNING.
The humble folk IN tho East End
see much moro of him than the opu-
lent West Endcrs. Some time ago he
spent several hours I'm one Of the in
nrmarios Of slumdom Hearing that
among the inmates was an old woman
who boosted Of having danced with
him when he was running the Oxford
House settlement he Insisted on sec-
Ing her Clasping the hands episcopal
she reminded him that he could not
nj hrst get the young ladies' to give
him n turn; ana added, admiringly.
"Lor Mr. Ingram, amt you got onl
who'd thought ~" And the bishop
laughed heartily, recognizing kim
drcd spirit who was not afraid 10 be
human.
Leaving Fulham palace In his motor
car tho other day he encountered a
cabinotmaker who had Just finished
Job AT the episcopal residence,
ASKED HIM TO RIDE.
(Which way are you going ?" asked
the bishop.
"To Poplar whore l liye,' answered
the workman.
Then jump in ana come along with
me, I'm OF 10 al an engagement
down thorc myself"
II is q singular proof Of his power
