AKE FOREST, ILL.—As district manager for the Illinols Life Insurance company, S. B. Edmoundson can earn $10,000 a year. As pastor of the Lake Forest Methodist church Rev. Stuart Berton Edmondson can earn $2,500 a year. Yet Rev. Mr. Edmondson hds chosen to go back to the work he left three years ago, when he was pastor of the Broadway Methodist church, “The tug of the chirch was too strong to resist,” says Rev. Mr. Ed- mondson. “It has hurt me to see 80 many pulpits vacated by pastors go- ing into business. I feel that I would be false to my conscience if I refused the call.

Strangers’ feet will tread the floors of the pretty little bungalow at 7510 Greenview avenue, Chicago. Hannah, the faithful maid, will have to seek another situation. “I shall do my own -cooking,” said Mrs. Edmondson; “my own washing even. I shall even make my own dresses; $2,500 a year, you know, isn't $10,000. “We shall get along. Our little runabout will have to go, of course, along with other things. A minister can scarcely afford to keep a car. Our rent at the parsonage will be free, however. We shall economize in every way we can and, besides, we have saved a little for a rainy day.” 7 In 147 of the 227 American cities of more than 80,000 population the .excess of expenditures for governmental costs, including interest and outlays for permanent improvements, over rev- enues during the fiscal year 1918 | amounted to $70,923,990, or $3.48 per capita. In the remaining eighty cities the excess of revenues over expendi- tures was $22,323,060, or $1.60 per capita.
