Bishop Ignores Wealth
to Serve Hill People

gO.-Adventurous spirit of
The missionary who sees a great op-
portunity for service is exemplified
in the work Of Bishop II. E. Almon
Abbott of the Episcopal church. Of
fered the position of rector in the
wealthy st. Chrysostom's church,
in Chicago, with a yearly salary of
$4,000, he has decided TO continue
his toll in the hills of Kentucky
at salary of $1,000.
Accordingly, he will take charge
OF church work in eastern Ken
tucky, embracing 10000 square
miles and one of the most difficult
districts in the Episcopal program.
Many struggling hill country mis-
sions must be rejuvenated, there be-
ing few self-supporting parishes in
the mountain zone. The bishops
headquarters will be at Lexington,
Ky His district includes 80
churches and missions. with 20 cler-
gymen and 5000 parishioners.
Bishop Abbott will probably have
to add mule riding to his accom-
plishments, as some OF the roads
in his district are impossible other
wise. Leslie county, the most iso-
lated area in the state. is in his
jurisdiction.
Bishop Abbott has long been a
leader in Episcopal church work.
He was formerly rector Of Christ
Church cathedral, in Hamilton,
Ontario. He has also held pastor
ates in Baltimore, Nd, and Cleve-
land, Ohio.
