Cecil Clifford and take some spiritual advice. He appeared in the pulpit and told | his lite's story to an astonished con- gregation. His income is estimated at $125, 000 annually. Besides it he has large realty hoidings including a 20-story bullding here and a rarge farm and Long Island country house.
