dollars. This takes in churches, par
ish houses, parsonages, Sunday school
buildings, etc. In the aggregate, the
church certainly does a big business"
that would interest Wall Street. The
much discussed loan to the Allies is
only one-third of the amount of the
church's permanent investment.
A Million Dollars Day
Scoff as we may at the pennies and
nickels put into the collection plate,
the fact remains that the church peo-
pie in this country pay out something
over million dollars a day for various
purposes. There is no form of benevo-
lence anywhere that can compare in
magnitude with the gifts of church
members.
In addition to local church support,
there are gifts to missions, home and
foreign. to ministerial pensions, to COL
leges, to Bible distribution, to hospital
and orphanage maintenance, to the
relief of the poor, and to q variety of
other altruistic causes. The tendency
which the Laymen's Movement has
| fostered has been to divide gifts on a
! flfty-fifty hasis-half for self (the
| local church, and half for the other
person omissions, etc.
! With all this vast income, it would
{ seem as If the ministers should be we'll
paid; but the reverse Is the case.
Clergymen's salaries are notoriously
small. In one denomination the aver
age is 1894 a year. A tabulaton made
two years ago, showed that, outside of
the cities, the average salaries of min
listers in well-ltnown varieties of the
IT'S Protestant denominations were as
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-11-26

and local church federations, have
been at work to secure more definite
data concerning the churches. They
find the task almost an impossible
one. The simple reason is that in
ing of records is left with the min
listers, who are notoriously unsyste-
matte; and change of pastors means
a complete break in the records.
In surprising number of cases,
congregations do not know where they
stand numerically or financially. Old
members are lost sight of; one big
city church recently purged its roll of
more than a thousand names of
IN members" who could nowhere be
found, although they had for years
been appearing in the church's statis-
tical reports.
On the financial side, curiously, the
churches have more careful records
than on the human side. Yet it Is an
open scandal that in churches not a
few, often money given for benevo-
lences, like missions, has been appro-
priated for current expenses by ineffi-
cient trustees or treasurers. Even
after all the agitation of recent years
probably less than half the churches
in the land have budget system, such
as good business house would use
In this direction noteworthy efforts to-
ward Improvement are being made by
| the general UNCONVENTIONAL agencies
and allied organizations.
Some time ago a careful canvass was
made of two thousand churches upon

On the first point, only thirty y-eight per

only fifteen per cent. were complete,

Putting Efficiency Into
Local Church Management
Property Worth a Billion and Half of Dollars, and
With Fifty Million Shareholders
Religious Rambler)
tBy the Religious Rambler

With a billion and half of dollars
invested in it's plant, and with an in
come for all religious and benevolent
purposes of something over a million
dollars a day, the Christian Church in
the United States Ms finding itself
under fire for its slipshod methods in
the local church. While at once the
biggest business enterprise in the
land, and the most widely distributed,
the Church Tin which word all de-
nominations are included) is taxed
with having the least system and effi-
cheney in the administration of its
local branches.
Steady pressure is being applied
from various sides to remedy a condi-
ton which is deemed intolerable in
the light of modern methods of con-
ducting other business. The Laymen' q
Movement, now under way in this
country, has been a potent force for
better methods of work and the in
fiuence of the Men and Religion Move
ment is still felt; while many of the
denominations themselves have COM
missions on efficiency and systematic
finance. What is called THE Every
Member Canvass" has done much to
put the financial affairs of ,he
churches on business basis

HUNTERS ASKED

cooperation ever worked out by the
State government for enforcement of
State laws against pollution of
streams for the prevention of fire and
for the proper observance of the game
laws. will be put into effect on Decem-
Der when the deer season opens.
Judging from the demand for permits
to camp on State lands and for hunt
ers' licenses more men will be in the
woods during the fifteen days of the
deer season than usual and the State
authorities have taken measures to not
sonly prevent Illegal killing of game,
but to check as far as possible forest
hres due to hunters or pollution of
streams
The game commission will have the
assistance of the fish wardens, forest
wardens, rangers and foresters in en-
forcing the game laws together with
state police who can be spared for
rural patrol work In addition the
new bureau of forest fire protection
mas enlisted not only the aid of these
departments, but of many local asso-
Citations and of farmers in keeping

have been traced to careless camping

SUDAN GRASS--A Hay-Plant that is Drouth Resistant

In 1909. the United States Department of Agriculture intro
duced from Sudan. Africa. the seed of a forage plant to which was
applied the name of Sudan Grass. 1t is safe to say that this is one
OF the most promising hay plants for dry sections that has ever
been introduced into this country. 1t appears to withstand dro1th
even better than kafr.
Sudan looks very much like Johnson grass, but differs from it
in not having tha underground stem so characteristic of Johnson
grass. In this country Sudan has to be planted each year, hence
there is no danger of its becoming a pest.
The past season. II farmers in Western Oklahoma, in co ope.
ration Will the Frisco Railroad. grew a plat of this grass. In ey.
cry case where the weeds were kept under control the Sudan re-
NAMED green and continued to grow during the longest dry spells
in one particular instance there was no rain for 80 days.
This season all the plats were kept for seed, which caused the
yield of hay 10 be smaller than it would have been had the crop
been cut for nay alone. Sudan is a very rapid grower and, with an
average season. two to three cuttings of hay may be expected with
a total yield Of from two to five tons per acre.
Every farmer should inform himself regarding this crop by
inquiring of the farmers who grew il, or writing the Department
Of DEVELOPMENT Of the Frisco. St Louis, Mo.
Any one interested is Invited to call at the Mansfield Mirror
Office and see the Sudan grass seed.

To Rear Children

Judge G. g. Lydy has re
turned from Marshtield where
he with Attorney f. b. Garner,
of H~artville, Morrison Pritchett,
of Webb City, and Seth V. Con
rad, of Marshtield, represented
the plaintiff in the petition of
Theron Fl. Walters, in behalf of
the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, who asked that a guard.
ian be appointed for Lucy and
Lula Crockett, whose father,
James Crockett. deceased. was
an Odd Fellow.
The intent of the petitioner
was to place the children in the
Odd Fellows Home at Liberty,
for the reason that the mother
had married r. j. Easley, of al
legged negro blood, and the child.
rem apparently were to be reared
in a negro home along with ne
gro children, by a former mar
riage of Easley.
Although the case was to have
been heard by a jury in the pro.
bate court of Webster county
and many witnesses had been
subpoenaed an agreement was
reached befote going to trial,
which resulted in a victory for
the petitioner. George HoSener
was appointed guardian of the
children and they will be placed
in the home. The mother will
be allowed to visit them at such
times as may be convenient to
her, and the children will be
taken from the home to the res
idence of the guardian twice dur
ing the year and the mother al.
lowed to visit them then.
The expenses of keeping the
children will be borne by the
Odd Fellows the first two years
