dent priest and only occasional ser
vices. The Catholic church has no
trustees nor directors and the priest,
Father Andrew B. Casey, has no
stated salary. Each parishioner
gives as he feels he can and the
priset uses the money to the best ad-
vantage Of the church.
The Swedish Mission society have
church free from debt and all
branches OF the work thriving.
With only so members this is an ex.
rellept condition. The pastor, Rev.
A. c. Leafgreen, also breaches at
Iucerne and receives about 1000
salary. which is paid by the church
people alone without outside help.
without a doubt the men who
work the hardest for the least money
are Ensign T. F. Harrington and
CAPTAIN NJ. R. Dutton of the Saliva
rion army. The ensign Is allowed
81 so a week and captain 81 a week.
If married they would receive sl2.
OF this they give 10 per cent for the
maintenance of the Denver quarters,
3 per cent for the home tor sick and
wounded and per cent for junior
work. The Salvation army IS like a
church only military in government.
The army was organized here many
years ago but has only Is members.
They succeed in keeping up expenses,
however, and II the officers do not
get their allotted allowance each
week they do not complain. These
two men devote nine hours oay TO
their work and hold eight outdoor
meetings week and ten meetings
in the hall. They do much charity
work, reach people who need help
and are certainly worthy of any sup
port an outsider may feel inclined to
give.
The German Lutheran people have
nice little church on the east side
with lO6 members. The pastor,
Rev. Harspt. Is guaranteed no regu-
lar salary but the church is main
tained by voluntary contributions.
The Trinity Lutheran church was
organized several years ago and ser.
vices were first conducted by the
Cheyenne pastor VINO made coca
sional visits here. Two years ago a
new church was built, the mission
board furnishing $1,000 and the COB
gregation paving the rest. Rev. P.

here one year. The church members
pay his house rent and CURRENT ex-
penses and his salary of $40 a month
is paid by the mission board. There
are Is members in the church.
A number of years ago there was a
Swedish Baptist society here but
after the PASTORS death it disbanded.
Last summer it was reorganized with

hold meetings regularly and the
membership of 25 is increasing.
Rev. Douhan is very superior man
and popular with his people. They
have a flourishing ladies aid society.
This Is the only Swedish Baptist
congregation in northern Colorado.
The salary paid is not large and the
Baptist conference assists in paying
the expenses.
Several years ago Holiness band
was organized in Greeley which was
q branch Of the State Holiness asso-
citation Of which Rev. C., B. Allen is
