Federated Press STAR correspondent)
NEW YoRK,-(FP)-Trinity lists

Trinity's annual report, rector Caleb
Stetson says:
Trinity Parish is not rich
church in the sense that it either mi
nisters to rich people or that its mem
bership numbers many who are
wealthy" Trinity is land poor, the
rector would say, and quite lives up
its income-after generous sum
is set aside for all expected expenses.
Stetson congratnlates Trinity on "the
sound business policy" of its replace
ment fund. which provides for resto-
ration, replacement and repair Of
Trinity's many tenements and other
buildings classed under productive
real estate, as well as for keeping the
churches of the parish in proper CON
dition.
Trinity church has profted by the
"unearned increment" on it's real
estate holdings during its 22S years
existence on Manhattan. In making
his report the rector does not consider
the proportion Of money spent in
neighborhood social work to the i'm
mense sums taken in rent during the
many years. Trinity as a tenement
landlord has often been shown to be
the same as most landlords, attending
to tenants needs only enough to
maintain a steady rental. The rector
takes occasion to warn possible heirs
of Anneke Jams that Trinity's title
to its real estate is we'll established
by grant of Queen Anne of England
in 1908 and that further lawsuits are
futile.
The rector remarks that the reli-
gious work of Trinity is progressing
with its daily service to downtown
workers, most of them drawn to noon
tide services from surrounding Offices.
Earlier in his. preface he states that
1t is becoming increasingly difficult
for any chugch TO continue on Man
haitian Island without the help of
some endowment"
Trinity's net income for 1924 was
S516,756.32, most Of which was spent
n maintenance of eight churches and
chapels and for work among the chill
dren of the tenements skirting New
York's financial district. The parents
of these children are mostly foreign
born and hard to reach, the rector
states, and work on the docks or

out, lis the one safe and sound means
