BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try a
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
business manager has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, ETC., and pay
all expenses. He will serve as Sec
retary Of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the Off
cial board. This, it is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten-
tton to the larger plans Of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex-
tensive charity work and handles over
$4,000 in contributions every year.
DR.. G. K. Morris, district superin-
tendent, strongly commends the in
novation. ITO my mind" he says, "it
is the ideal of church government.

he devised that from the date of it's
acceptance small sums of the principal
should be loaned, at five per cent in
terest, to young married apprentices
of Boston. The trustees who were
named by him were to be the select
men, with the three ministers of the
eldest Congregational, Episcopalian
and Presbyterian churches.
The legal status of the trust, which
now amounts to over 100000, was
definitely fixed by the courts in 1904,
and board of managers appointed to
control 1t, and eXpend the available
fund. This board, created by legisla-
tive act and designated the Franklin
Foundation, is composed of many
of the foremost citizens of Boston,
.unong them being former Secretary
of State Richard Olney, and James ].
storTow, president of the Boston Mer-
chants association and vice-president
IF the chamber of commerce.
The new structure is located in
the geographical heart of the city. 1t
is a five-story, fire-proof building of
steel and concrete, with outer walls
of Bedford stone and brick, following
the colonial style of Franklin's day.
Its length of 160 feet and width of 100
feet gives ample room for the COM
prehensive courses of study to be un-
dertaken.
The utilitarian features of the build
ing include lecture hall, with a gal
lery, of seating capacity Of 1000,
laboratories for every branch of me-
chanics, 13 classrooms, a library, etc,
all equipped with the latest devices.
Instructors selected from the leading
manufacturing industries will train
the pupils in the practical side of me-
chanical drawing, machine details.

The courses are open only to those

charges him $50 to 500 to keep him
out of hell for lifetime. We are the
only people under Gods ethereal tent
to-day who keep open shop "a hours
each day and 365 days in each year.
We are also the only laborers to keep
on working for people who do not pay.

steps In the industry. including the be-
ginning OF the Standard Oil Company and
the absorption of the Independent refin-

Ihat firm later was taken over by the
Standard Oil Company. None of the old
rehners remained Independent. In later
years. however. several new Independent
refineries were built In various parts OF
the country. Some of these in turn were
purchased by the Standard Oil Company.
October I. 1874, the railway pooling
agreement went into effect and was the
Waterloo of the independent operators.
