ECCLESIASTICAL FINANclHRINo.

ECCLESIASTICAL FlNANcIERING.
Many u minister and many a
thoughtful layman, too, will sympa-
thize with what was said on Sunday
last by Rev. DR.. Acked very prom
inent New York minister, about i'm
proper financial methods In churches,
and will be grateful that one man
has had the courage and the honor
to speak out plainly against what
mas long been an embarrassment and
scandal to many churches. TO
what extent precisely tho same kind
OF mismanagement that his church
has been suffering from prevails
elsewhere 1t would be impossible to
say. But no intelligent observer will
dispute for single moment the
statement that bad flnancIerlpg. of
one type or another, is widespread
among the churches. Few If any de-
nominations are free from 1t, though
some seem to suffer more than 9TH
ers, and 1t is perhaps most preya-
lent In those churches which seem to
be freest and most popular in their
management.
Tho shame of 1t is that so many
churches practice methods In their
own finances which theoretically they
condemn, and which ae matter of
fact they severely criticIse when
practiced by men outside of the
church In the business world. A
church would severely condemn and
roprimand an Individual for incur
ring debts which he has no assured
prospect of being able to pay. Yet
churches do that very thing. The
teaching of churches Is that men
should keep their expenses within
their incomes and that they should
discharge their obligations fully and
promptly Yet many churches act
ing In their corporate capacity, initiate
their expenses far beyond their in.
comes, trusting on adventltious
means or luck to mako good the de-
ilcits, and keep their creditors, even
their own pastors, YEARLY awaiting
for settlement of long overdue bills.
1t certainly. must be obvious to tho
simplest Intelligence that for a
church to do things collectively
which 1t condemns in individuals is
not only to stultify itself but also to
compromise and most seriously i'm
pair It's moral authority. II is Idle to
preach business honesty and at tho
same time to practice that which bor-
ders closely upon business dishon-
esty. or course, in another analysis,
the acts of the church are tho acts
of tho officers and members. SO that
we may also say that II is self stul-
tltication for those men rs individ-
uals TO be stcklers for honor and in
tegrity in business relations while
they conduct the business of the
church in a slipshod manner Eccle-
siastIcal financiering ought of all in
the world to be most above susplc-
ion and reproach.
