Dr. H. c. English, who has charge or the hospital surveys. He stated that no subjects have greater appeal than defenseless children, women, the helpless sick and the destitute aged For these the church has hospitals and homes. One hospital bed is needed for every 400 people. The Protestants should have for their annual member ship this basis 66,000 beds- They have only 26,000. Protestant church hospitals give treatments to 100000 annually said Dr. English. but for lack of equipment they are compelled to refuse admission to. 5000 daily.

 Bruce R. Baxter of New York, sec retary Of the industrial relations de- partment of the movement in ad- dressing the conference said in part:
 The church should have inter est in industrial relations because they are human relations. Men were men and brothers a long time before they were enmloyers and employees. The teachings of Jesus as they center around personality service and broth erhood apply to modern industrial re- lations. We are looking forward to the kingdom of God, which is a civili- zation of friendly workmen in which each man seeks the others good.
 Ministers Much Underpaid
 The small salaries paid to pastors came in for a round at the afternoon session when Dr. English took the floor. He said more than half of the clergy in America receive salaries less than the ministerium subsistence of the ordinary workingmans family. Income tax returns list only 1,671 min iSters as having an income, including salary, of S3,000. This is less than one per cent of the entire number. The minister has one chance in a hundred of receiving a S3.000 salary, the law yer one in five, the doctor one in seven and the manufacturer one in ten.
 The cost of living has increased more than so per cent. It has been ac- companied by like increase in wages among working men, but the increase of ministers salaries in 20 years has not been 20 per cent. The average layman pays for his preachers support no more than his father or his grand father did and less than he himself1 paid 10 years ago Something is wrong when business man is willing to pay his chauffeur who drives him to church more than he pays the min ister who breaches to him when he gets there, declared the speaker.
 Missionaries Arouse Enthusiasm
 Two rousing addresses awakened great interest among the pastors on conditions in foreign fields. One of these addresses was delivered by Rev. H. $. Vincent, missionary to Siam, which was illustrated by stereopticons. The other address was delivered by Alexander Paul of China. MT. Paul is noted for a great engineering feat performed in the valley of the Yuang stiKiang. where at the request of the governor he built great dam to stay the floods, thus saving the people from famine and plague. One of his rewards was the placing of a bronze tablet in the heather temple in his honor. Mir. PauIs address was most thrilling in it's nature.
 This morning from to 12 o'clock denominational conferences will be held These meetings will for the most part take place in the respective churches of the denominations repre- sented. The concluding session takes place at 7 o'clock in the First Pres byterian church, when reports from committees, the findings of the con- ference, and brief closing speeches will take place.
