BUSINESS METHODS m
THE CHURCHES

One of the more important matter.
considered by thc Episcopal House Of
Deputies in Session a. New York city
was u demand for better business meth
DDS in conducting churches. Auditing
Of books by expert accountants was
one suggestion, uniform accounting
mctho,ls was another.
Finance committees Of church ,ocio.
ties find j, much easier to wait for the
next wealth parisnioncr to die and f.
leave them II handsome legacy. than
I" hustle arouui and finish financial
years with all debts cleaned up. \,
u matter of fact, Il parish that does
no. make a habit Of rounding its debts
mp each year i. not much in favor Of
successful business men. When thew
make their wills, they provide for the
buying Of but very fcw dead horses.
As a result Of this behind. hand ii
nance, the ''Lndics Aid Society" he.
comes a factor in most parishes. By
putting IN dollar S worth Of material
and Two dollar worth of labor. nm
article can be made that viii sell al
u church fair for about a dollar and a
quarter. This revenue, thanks to the
loyal faith Of woman. aud the within
steal lack Uf logic in man, is depend
ablc, oven If t%rifling and bclit'ling. So
most churches reckon il q fixed source

Church finances are usually honor
ably conducted. But it takes optimism
to make III" annual reports look good

that more money has been borrowed
at the bank. II can usually lc shown
which are called permanent improve
mcnta,' and supposed to offset the
enlarged debt. Every bushes. man
knows that - certain amount or Ina
provcmcut work has to be- done iu "a
plant every year, and should be- paid
for out of current income.
The next Episcopal convention will
hear y report on better business meth
DDS from The committee Just appointed
The recommendations should have wide

Nicholson, says she pursueS an ideal.
Most americans know the girls Of
other nationalitics only through books,
but by this means n very good pictur"

haps the principal contrast is in the
self reliance Of the American girl.
when girls start on the war path for

like Others, are "orlnrir", uncertain,

Are You Subject

Here is a Simple Way of Cor

Very few people go through life without

salt mineral waters, pills and similar
things They have temporary value In
some cases, it is true, but the good eff

ingredients that IL will have equally good

from the worst chronic constipation In
fact among the greatest endorsers OF
Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have
