MINISTER MAKES

OF FINANCE
DAUGHTERS ILL HEALTH BRINGS

Compelled to Come West, He Buys a
Farm, Sells 1t at a Profit and

fBy Associated Press. ]


CHICAGO, April ia real estate
transfer just made in the routine OF
the recorders office reveals the story
of Chicago minister of the gospel
who has gained fortune of $50O,0OO
during his spare time from preaching.
Four years ago he left Chicago with
slender means to nurse a daughter Dach
to health. Today he Is the owner OF
landed estates and an exclusively met
ropalitan apartment building.
The hero of this fairy tale of finance
and religion is the Rev. Richard A.
Morley, a Methodist Episcopal pastor
who was stationed for several years in
Chicago and Oak Park churches. The
story transpired in the purchase by the
minister of an apartment hotel for
$500, 900.
In 1904 Mr. Morley, in an effort to
save his daughter from tuberculosis,
exchanged pulpits with a minister at
Las Vegas, N. M. Shortly afterward
he purchased a ranch nearby at tax
sale, and this was the beginning of his
prosperity.
He bought more land and sold it at a
large profit, and within two years was
owner of a tract now worth 100000.
Branching out further, he purchased a
1000-acre farm near Kansas City, one
in Wisconsin and two farms in Illinois.
All this time he has never missed a
Sunday in his pulpit nor a Wednesday
evening prayer meeting. When he first
removed to the west he says he did
not dream of entering into business
transactions.

bred and thirty-seven of these were
regular boarders and the rest tran
sient. OF the regular boarders thirty

their safety. There was a high wind
blowing and the Tehama street side OF
the hotel fell out, crushing number

The ST. George hotel was of the most
fiimsy construction, and its proprietor,

ing to make alterations which would
increase the safety of the building. Ac-
cording to John T. Morgan Of the board
