CLERGY QUITS,
 PAY 1OO LOW

LONDON, March 9.-The Bishop of Durham says the Church of England cannto find ministers enough to fill its pulpits. The number of men annually ordained since the war has been less than one-third of those annually or. dained before the war.
 Because of the poverty to which so many of the clergy have been reduced by the war many parents have ceased to regard the church as providing de- sirable careers for their sons.
 There are 4,OO0 fewer clergy work ing in the parishes of England than in 1914.
 If the church were to meet its re- quirements the Bishop said it would have to make way for democracy. The last vestige of caste and class distinc- tion should then disappear from the ministry and ordination should be as open to the sons of the artisan as of the squire.
