out speeches. The conference then
mittee with the amendment that

May Come Up Later.
The suggestion that the salaries OF
Methodist ministers throughout the
United States as well as the North
west Indiana conference was the only
resolution brought up by that COM
mittee. The suggestion was supposed TO
have been taken up at the Laymen's
association Friday afternoon and also
at the conference Of the ministers. In
this way it Will be taken back TO all Of
the churches of the district. 1t is
probable that it will come up at the
general conference at Saratoga
Springs.
Our ministers are the poorest paid
men in any business in the world"
said c. a Carlisle in giving the report
Of the committee. I'VE face a great
problem. Why do we sit here year
in and year out and forget the greatest
factor in the greatest organization in
the world tOday-the minister? Every
compensation for his work. We are
asking 100 per cent more than we did
a few years ago
AS laymen here we should give
ministers consideration. If we should
give a 10 per cent increase that would
be a small thing. Every one of us
could increase our contributions 100
per cent and not miss it, We should
send out 10 the entire country the
fact that We recommend an earnest
consideration Of the money paid to
our ministers-the poorest paid men
in the world"

Marvin Campbell delivered the ad-
dress of welcome while the commit
tees were holding meetings. He well
coined the delegates to the city and
said:
you are here representing the
greatest protestant church in the
world. We are glad to have you with
US"
w. c. Bellman of Hammond re-
sponded, comparing South Bend TO the
district from which he came. He
said that this city had the same prob
lem TO face in a religious way. that his
district had, the great number of for
eigners.
Should Meet Often.
al wish we might have a lay con-
ference every year instead of every
four years, because the great efficiency
lies on you men. 1t is my hope that
problems that come up here and take
them back to our people at home and
win them for the Master"
