Hi4her salaries for all inadequately
paid Episcopal clergymen, TO meet the

tho social. educational and spiritual
success of the Church's Nationwide

a year, which, Government economists
say u the minimum amount to make
possible the decent maintenance of
two or three. Prominent laymen Of
the Episcopal Church, members of the
national committee Of the Nation
Wide Campaign, urged that sufficient
funds to provide every clergyman with
at least a living wage be made a defi-
mite aim of the Nationwide Cam
paign.
Among the laymen responsible for
the recommendation are r. /. Man

As a result of their recommendation,
the executive committee of the cam
paign made an addendum to the ua-
tional campaign budget covering the
amount necessary to give the em.
ployees Of tho various General Boards
Of the Church, including the mission

AS many even outside of Method
lists in Grenada know, the services at

morning and evening conclude the
four years pastorate of Rev. r. A
Tucker in Grenada. The annual
conference cOnvenes next week at
Aberdeen at which time a new pastor
will be assigned to this charge The
Sentinel but voices the sentiment of
the community in saying that Mr..
Tucker is held in high esteem in
Grenada and that he is very close to
the hearts of his membership. The
writer appreciates him very much as
a friend and joins many others in
wishing that his lines may fall in the
very pleasantest places.
The following resolutions were
unanimously passed at the recent and
fourth session of the Quarterly Con-
ference of the Methodist church held
in Grenada:
Whereas this is the last Quarterly
Conference which will be held in
Grenada before the convening of the
Annual Conference and during the
pastorate Of Brother R. A. Tucker,
and.
Whereas we desire to go on record
as commencing the very splendid
work Brother Tucker has done for
the church in Grenada, in sowing
seeds of friendship, brotherly love
and kindly consideration, and,
Whereas he has been equal at all
times to every demand of the church
and has shown grasp of conditions
and circumstances that stamp him as
no ordinary man or pastor, and,
Whereas he has grown, on his con-
and the town as real man
and as an uncompromising uphOlder
Of the banner of Christ from year to
year.
Therefore Be it Resolved by the
Quarterly Conference of Grenada
chlsge that in parting with Brother
Tucker we realize we are not only
parting with our pastor, but with Il
sympathetic friend and real Broth

ing aims and purposes, and is i'm

Resolved further, that We think
Grenada has had few pastors who did
! more lasting work than Brother f!
Fucker has done, and whose effort |
~ labors did as much towards ce |
neAting ties of friendship and broth |
9rhood and who was more Jealous !
nd wise in fostering the spirit of |
hurch cooperation and Christian ag-
'ressiveness;
Resolved further, that we tender
lim and his excellent family this re-
lewed expression of our sincere love
nd affection and pray Heavens rich
st blessings on them
Resolved also, that we want our
Elder, Brother J. H. Holder,
