OF his responsibility for the, use OF
what God had given him. and second
In getting into his consciousness anc
conscience the feeling that his re-
sponsibility must be squared with God

tic plan for giving more than any
church or Beneficial cause needs
money.
True giving is not by gcad bat for
God. The church should enter upon
the propaganda to impress upon the

prayerfully the stewardship of the
goods and determine what portion II
Is his or her duty to set aside for

ment will open up the Golfers. and

repetition OF the last verse.
Mrs. Minnie Hubbard. the popular
violinist OF Mankato. who Is always

encore number.
Some Clever Singing.
One of the most pleasing features
of the entertainment was the solo and
duet work of Robert r. Gehan. and
Miss Florence McGuiggan. possessing
a beautiful and well trained soprano
voice OF excellent range. Miss Nc
Guiggan rendered her songs very eff
fectively. Mr.. Gehan's voice is also
one of great power and melody. and his
solo work was fine. The two voices
blended delightfully."- in the duet. Miss
McGuiggan was presented with a
beautiful floral Offering by her ad-
mirers. Lawrence Brewer gave very
clever drum speciality, and ID. NJ. Jones
impersonated Harry Lauder. appearing
In Highland costume, and singing

Chicago. November 2s.-The "suc-
ton pump method" of raising money
for church purposes Is wrong accord
ing to a statement made by William
A. NJ. Van Bokkelen. treasurer OF
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
California. and published here today
by The Veteran Preacher" Metho-
dist Episcopal journal. II was an
nounced that the statement was made
by Mr.. Van Bokkelen as representing
the views Of William, Ford Nichols,
ID. D.. Episcopalian bishop of Califor-
MIA. Ii follows in part:
1T Is a fundamental principle OF
human nature that no employee can
render good efficient service and the
most effective service of which he is
capable. whose mind Is distracted
from his work by the thought of how
he shall make ends meet on the sal
airy he receives. AS he advances in
age and approaches the dead line. he
is further distracted by the thought
of what is TO become OF him and
those dependent on him when COM
PEELED to relinquish even his meager
compensation.
"Of no profession or occupation Is
this truer other than that of the
clergyman. yet in none OF which more
Is expected. Young men full of re-
ligious enthusiasm. feeling themselves
called of God, enter the ministry. In
the vigor of youth they are ready TO
deny themselves all the creature com
forts of life which are open to them
