JOHN D. ACTS As
CHURCH PAY ASTER

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The
Standard OIL company has just
assumed the novel role of general
paymaster to foreign missionaries
In the far corners of the globe.
II will transmit to the mission
aries their salaries from the Prot
estant foreign mission boards in
the United States.
When the war broke out the
boards had plenty OF money to
continue the payments to their
missionaries. but no way OF trans
hitting II, either by draft, as in
the past, or in gold. The quar-
terry payments total about $780,
600.
The treasurers OF the boards
decided to appeal TO some mer-
camille house for aid, and the
standard OIL at once signified its
willingness, exacting only re-im-
bursement for the actual cost of
exchange. The lonely mission
aries In China, Japan, Siam. Ger
man West Africa, and elsewhere.
viii no longer have to borrow or
starve. but will receive their
monthly stipend through the
standard OIL branches.
