their parishes as they would in rural
districts, he said.
Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell,
newly elected president of the, coun-
Gil, will be indicted into office to-

assumed Office Thursday, but he
was unable to come here from New
York in time.
The close connection between
rural pastorates and economic we'll
being was brought out by DR.. A. E.
Holt, of the Chicago Theological
seminary, in an address before the
council. DR.. Holt said city churches
should see to it that rural churches
were supplied with properly trained
ministers; that most country
churches are too poor to employ
we'll trained men because of the
low income from farm produce, DR..
G. L. Goodell, secretary of the COM
