an additional 5000 salary should he de-

This increase has been made posi- BILE
through the orIer Of the Cathedral
Foundation Commission. and although
the matter of financial remuneration
has not figured IN the hesitancy Of Dr.
Mann 10 accept the place, it IS thought
that a yearly salary of $500 should
add to the desirability Of the position.
Members If the Washington diocese
have felt for sometime that the salary
Of 5000 was insufficient for the mani
fold important duties Of the bishopric.
but, on account OF the limited number
Of independent churches in the diocese
il had beer fDuud Impossible to grant
the increase until the Cathedral Com
mission came forward with its offer.
DR.. MCKim confirmed the statement
that DR.. Mann had been Onered the ad-
ditional compensation, but impressed
the fact that il had not been a financial
consideration that had prevented Dr.
Mann from accepting the call imme-
The statement that DR.. Mann hest

The question of compensation does not
enter, but it is wholly a matter OF de
Gliding whether the claims Of the duties
at his present post are such as ought

the bishOpric. He is facing the ques-
ton, not on the plane Of dollars and
cents, but on that of civic and spiritual
duty"
DR.. McKim said that the Boston divine
had had but ten days in which to con-
slider the momentuOUs proposition and
that therefore II might be several DAYS
before his decision was finally reached.
