Asks Loyalty to Faith
"But we want also loyalty to the

Bishop Manning said that it was his
hope that the minimum salary for
clergy of the diocese would be in
creased from the present $l,500, as he
regarded the adequate maintenance of
the clergy as a vital point in the
strength of the church. He wanted to
see the episcopate of the diocese sup
ported by an adequate endowment fund,
he said, to see more adequate support
for st. Stephens College, to see the
nave of the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine completed and to see church
work in rural districts and among
young people broadened.
