question Of cIergymen's salaries and
expenses in his address to the con-
vention said in part:
EITHER through ignorance or thought
lessness they spend too much money
in one direction and find it difficult to
get along in other directions. l feel
sure that where the salary is small
it is wise to pay cash for everything;
to avoid as far as possible ordering
goods, especially at market or
grocery, over telephone. There is no
reason why any clergyman should not
run up bills and order over a telephone
if he wants to do SO. but he must
realize that he is INDUCING in an eX-
pensive luxury. All dealers know full
well the advantage Of the credit sys-
tenn and the telephone. Bills run up
easily
New England people are making
money" he said. ''They have been
making money for many years. but
they have not got into the habit of GER
tain ways of living and have not learn
ed to spend their money to get the
benefit of it, much less they have learn
ed the luxury of giving money away.
Let lis hope that as our people learn
to spend their money they will also
learn the joy of giving it away. that
they will appreciate the real pleasure
of the sense of stewardship and feel
that it is privilege to be entrusted
by God with money to use for Gods
glory, for his poor, for those who are
sick, naked or in prison"
Commenting on expenditures made
Tel, Ia
earnestly hoped that this same spirit
is spreading through Aroostook county.
Heretofore the people of that county
have not been famous for their gener-
osity, for their charities or for their
self-supporting churches. That county
is the wealthiest part of the State. Its
people are making money. They have
not yet learned to use it or to give it
away"
The principal act of business was the
final ratification of the canon which
provides representation on the floor of
the convention based on the numerical
strength Of tho churches and missions
in addition tn Il liked representation of
three for each church and one for each
mission.
Rev. William f. Livingston of Au-
gusta was chosen secretary and w. G..
Ellis of Gardiner treasurer.
Another session of the Womans
Missionary Society was held this even
ing and the only thing of Importance
was the consideration of plans for the
work of the Sunday schools.
