MONSTER PIKE A PIRATE"
English Villagers Feasted on Fish
Which Had Been Cutting Anglers
Lines for Years.

A pirate was caught and killed To-
Gently in the little old English village
of Beeston ST. Lawrence. NorfoIkshiTe,

reports. The good people of BeeSton
st. Lawrence are not cannibals. and
for the benefit Of those not acquainted
with the legendary lore of that part
OF England it must be explained that
this pirate was monster pike which
terrorized the waters OF the lake in
Beestone for upward Of thirty years.
The pike which had the reputation
of being the most artful fish in the
world, earned the name Of "the pirate"
because of his predatory raids on fish
ermens lines whenever they hooked
anything. Anglers came from miles
around TO Try and catch the freebooter.
but the fish was TOO clever for the
most EXPERT plscator.
According to stories told over mugs
of ale at the village inn the pirate"
was hooked only once, and In a vicious
rage he broke the line and escaped.
Yet the honor of catching him goes TO
a young ex-soldier who had been pike
fishing on!y four times in his life.
The night of the capture they held
guessing contest In the village as

the prize being the fish itself. He
weighed 26 pounds l ounce, measured
five feet and had girth of two feet.

Before any one of the department

president for his q. n, the fact that
the other department head has in

the president TO judge, without giving

THE INTERCHURCH WORLD
MOVEMENT

The Interchurch World Move
ment, participated in by thirty
denominations, for a fund OF
S33G,3i?,5i2, is now under way
and will continue throughout the
week. The campaign is nation
wide and is being conducted by
a thoroughly business-like or
ganization headed by such not
able leaders as John ID. Rookie
Teller, Jr., and John r. Mott, OF
New York City. The present
movement is a departure from
previous campaigns in that,
apart from the. unprecedented
magnitude OF the undertaking,
results are being sought by the
application Of business methods
of organization rather than
through "revivals" and emotional
appeals, although the religious
and spiritual aspects OF the cam
paign are fully specialized and
predominant.
One Of the primary purposes
of the Interchurch World pro-
gram is to provide living wage
for every minister, and an EFF
iicient plant" for carrying on the
work of the church.
1t is literally astounding, and
also humiliating, to be reminded
that the average minister is paid
approximately but 81 cents more
per church member than he was
paid 81 years ago; that in Mary
land, he is paid, according to sta
tistics gathered on the subject,
about $1,0l4 a year, and that the
average amount paid by each
COMMUNICATE towards the minis
ter's salary is but $4.26 year.
In Kentucky and Arkansas, the
average is stated to be still lower.
being estimated at about $500 a
year. Only Il ministers in the
entire country are said to be re
ceiving $4,000 or more, while tins
records show that about s out
OF every 10 ministers receive less
than $50 a week, which is just
about half the pay OF mechanic
In these days OF the fabulously
high cost OF living, and the con
slant demands (and the yielding
thcreto) for higher wages and
salaries to artisans and profes-
sional men. what are we to say
10 the ministers of the Churc
OF God. for whom nothing more
Is asked than that they be pro-
vidcd with a living wage. so that
those now in the service, as well
as those who would enter it, may
60 about the church's business
on al least self-supporting
basis.
But that is by no means all
that is involved in this Inter
church World Movement. The
feature about 1t that is of tran
scendent importance is that III
means the rallying of the hosts
OF Christianity for militant serv-
ice against the forces OF unbelief
and unrest that are now abroad
and seeking to spread the gospel,
OF hate and destruction through
out the world. The church Of
