lTCOSTlS MORE
TO RUN CHURCH

& Nhe. workingman isn't slow to re-
x US that the cost of living has
sgSo 1pnearly 80 per cent since 1914.
Ands business men, while not saying
much about it, calmly boost the
prices of their goods to more than
cover this increase.
4 But what about the church?
& It costs a lot more to run a church
these days than it ever, did.
Contractors and merchants expect
the church to pay what other institu-
.tions pay and the church usually
does it.
But preachers and teachers in mis-
sion schools and settlements, and
professors in church schools and COL
leges haven't had much of an advance
in their salaries-not nearly so much
as sworkingmen.
They haven't gone out on strike
and they won't quit their job-they
just arn't> built that way. Whether
it's wise or foolish doesn't matter.
They take on extra work as side
line with the result that the church
often gets the services of tired, over
burdened workers to merely do their
regular work in a perfunctory fashion
and this means that they can't do
their best work for humanity.
And the church suffers - and the
world suffers s-and the world suffers
too-because, as a time when the fin
est, freshest leadership in the word
j decided to do the enormous job
which the church should be doing to-
day it is getting its leadership from
exhausted men.
Somehow, we pay our bills to the
merchant and the professional people,
but we think it is an imposition when
the church asks US to increase our
gifts to missions and church work
even tho we're giving the same
amount that we gave ten years ago,
which was never fair sum, anyway.
vs. If it costs 10 or 80 per cent more
to run church today than it did half
9 dozen years ago----don''t you think
that there's coming to the Lord, more
than you are now giving?
We may think that we're putting
something over on the Almighty, but
the fact is we're hurting ouprselves
more by this kind of deal than
we're hurting God. @3s& @.%.~ &
If you're a church man, you thru
your representation, authorized those
in authority in the church to organ
ize certain kinds of work in the COM
nunity, in this country, and in for
eign fields. # IL
x And they've done it..
Do you want them to retrench at a
time when it is imperative that the
church go forward?
Every kind Of an enterprise is
making larger plans because of the
new demands Of the world for in
creased service shall the church be
a Stacker at a time when it should be
in the vanguard, interpreting, the
times, announcing great principles
for the social and economic world,
and furnishing leadership thru men
and women enthused by the gospel :?
Say to YOUR church-"GO FOR
WARD!"
And then 60 to it yourself.

MAN
PASSES AWAY

Henry Wolfer, who was killed in
an automobile accident in Los Angeles
on Tuesday, was for many years an
intimate friend and business asso-
ciate Of President Farley of the
Bank of Valley City. For the first
two years following the organization
of the bank in 1905 Mr.. Wolfer served
as a director, together with, R. H.
Bronson, president of the First Ma
tional Bank at Saltwater, Mimi, an
other friend Of Mr.. Earley's.
Besides being a prison manager
with national reputation, Mr.. Wolfer
was remarkable keen investor and
Capable business man. The magniti-
cent new prison at Saltwater stands
as q model Of its kind in the world,
and also as a monument to the bus
mess ability of Henry Wolfer. 1t did
not cost the state Of Minnesota one
cent. The buildings and all their
equipment were paid for out Of the
earnings of the prison industries dur
ing the 81 years while Mr.. Wolfer
was the head Of the institution.
Meanwhile he made money also for
himself by employing his remarkable
Judgment of investments and business
opportunities. A, large part of his
wealth, estimated at more than mil
lion, was made in timely investments
in farm lands in the northwest, in
which he always had an abiding conf
dence. Just before his death he had
bought beautiful home in Los
Angeles, intending to make it his
future home. On several occasions
he had been favorably mentioned for
governor Of Minnesota, to which he
had given invaluable service during
the greater part f his active business
life. aga ....
