FEW CHURCHES PAY
 PASTOR $10, 1000
Despite This, Little Difficulty Experi. enced in Filling Pulpits With
 Good Ministers.

New York, Aug. 3.--To the question "Is any minister worth $10,O00 d year?' the Rev. Dr. Stephen o. Ben ton, missionary secretary in the Meth odist Episcopal church, replied:
 "We believe our church has splen- did organization, and we have nearly nineteen thousand ministers, not one of whom receives $10,000 year. Ev- en our bishops draw no such sum Men are paid in the ministry as i'll any other calling, according to the types of people they serve. Some con gregations require pulpit oratory above all else. In other parishes, in stitutional work is more wanted.
 "To my mind the allround pastor renders the best service. Certainly many ministers receiving $3,000 a year could earn $10,000 in secular pro- fession. But when man chooses the ministry as his calling he does not place commercial value upon his labor. There are precious few pas torates in this country which offer SIG, ,O0O a year. We have no difficulty in filling our pulpits,' he concluded.

CITIZENS' BANK
 ADOPTS NEW PLAN
Remarkable Machine Makes Possible Daily Balancing of All
 Accounts.

A machine that seetlnGly possesses human intelligence has been installed at the Citizens bank, Which has adopt ed the statement system i'll place or the pass beck systeni By using the machine the listing and totalling of checks and deposits Is accomplished at one operation. Onk of the results is that the depositor will not be re- uuired to wait for th4 posting of his book when desiring al balance. Each day the stated l3ents are taken out of the binder-pft into the ma chine and cheeks and deposits list ed-a total taken and the balance carried forward ready for the next days posting. Now when custom CT wants statement at any time all the clerk has to do is to go to the ledger and take off the last fig ures posted which will be statement of the customers account right up to date.
 One of the remarkable features ot the machine is that it automatically detects and marks overdrafts with minus sign. When the checks ex- ceed the deposits no result can be printed unless the lever is in the "sub- tract" position.
 The bank will save at least 90 pei
