BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try a
New system.
Tho Epworth Mcmorinl Methodist
church In Cloveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
A business manager has boon ap
pointed who will give his entire tlmo
and attention to tho finances of tho
church. As cxccutlvo secretary ho
will collect tho bonevoloncos, dues of
members, subscriptions, otc, nnd pay
all expenses. He will Borvo as sec
retary of tho standing committees of
the church and keop a record of their
business for transmission to tho ofll
clnl board. Tills, it Is expected, will
leavo tho pastor freo to glvo atten-
tlon to tho larger plans of tho work
nnd to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has tho largest
membership of all tho Protestant
churches In tho city. It has an ex
tenslvo charity work and handles over.
$35,000 In contributions overy year.
Dr. G. K. Morris, district superin
tendent, strongly commends tho In
novation. "To my mind," ho says, "It
Is tho Ideal of church government. I'
expect to see tho plan adopted In
mnny other cities."
The Doctor's Fee.
The average man will glvo a lawyer
$300 to $500, together with a lifetime's
praise, to keop him out of tho peniten
tiary for from two to ten years, nnd at
tho samo tlmo ho will ralso a phos
phorescent glow and a kick that can
be heard around tho world If a doctor
charges him $50 to $100 to keep him
out ot hell for a lifetime. We aro tho
only pcoplo under God's ethereal tent
to-day who keep open 'shop 24 hours
each day and 365 days In each year.
Wo aro also the only laborors to keep
on working for peopie who do not pay.
I can carry my part of charity with
as good a grace as most men. I can
go through rain, snow or mud and do
my best, provided tho caso is one of
worthy need, but to reward continually
downright rascality, willful drunken- j??
