Potatoes an increase of 70.5 per cent. "The list of increased costs might he extended to embrace almost everything grown or manufactured almost every item of the thousands of things in whic'j men barter and trade." President Brown gives the railway wage advance in this country this year to be estimated at $100,000,000. It is not my province, nor am I capable to discuss all the causes of present conditions, but it is right for me to call your attention to th6 fact so universally acknowledged, that prices of the necessities of life are nearly double, and in some cases more than double w-hat they were ten years ago. These things being bo, how Is it possible for our clergymen (many of them receiving less than per year salary) to maintain themselves respectably and under present conditions. Seven of our vestries have recognized this increased cost of living and without urging, like the great railroad corporations, have voluntarily increased the stipends paid their clergy.

W.iy Is it not possible for all our vestries to do this? While clergymen are not serv ing for money, they require money to live. To prepare regularly for holy orders a boy must take four years In a preparatory or high school; afterwards four years in a college, and then three years in a theological seminary. At the end of the eleven years of hard -study 'now small a compensation is offered him! Had the love of money been In his heart, be would certainly have chosen some other pursuit. The ministry howev-ever is a calling and not a business. When the earnest young churchman hears God's call, he leaves all to follow the Master's voJoe, and feels in his heart like him of old, "Woe is me, if I preach not the Gospel." I know, dear brethren of the laity, that you 'nave your own professional and business difficulties.

You THE BISHOP have many anxieties and carry heavy burdens. SWF. i as 'Father in God of both clergy and iaity, I feel that I ought at this time to uTge you if possible to make at least a ten per cent, increase in the amounts paid your hard working pastors and priests if you have not already done so within the last three or four years. A minister cannot do his best, no matter how spiritually minded, if he is worried about daily bread and the necessary clothing and education of his children. I plead this especially for the sake of the clergyman's wife, that unsalaried worker who perhaps feels this lack of money more than anyone else, when she is compelled to deny herself and her children the ordinary comforts ofl life.

A very slight increase of income would provide a weary, hard working wife and mother, worn out with taking the whole care of her house and little children, with a maid to attend tue constant calls at the rectory door and make it possible that sometimes she may have a little well eavned rest or take a day's outing with her husband at some diocesan church gathering. I know of one1 case where an addition of onlv S14 a month tacured suca wald Nash, an eloquent young English clergyman, and a former lieutenant in the royal Under the administrations of the Rev. Mr. Nash, A free night school has been opened in tne parish, tor tne oenent ot poor boys and girls, who are being schooled in commercial branches, whereby can gain livelihoods in clerical positions. The ladies of the parish have opened a girls' industrial school, for teaching needlework, painting and sketching.

Both schools are well attended by pupils, and will be held in basement of the new church, as as the rooms can be fitted up. The church has received many gifts. One'of the most generous donors was Washington R. Roebling, of New Jersey, a former and member of the family that built the Brooklyn bridge. Mrs.

Charles M. Schwab gave a communion set. The donors of windows were Judge Thomas J- Baldrige, George W. Williams, James W. Gromiller, Frank Glessner, T.

H. Suckling, William McKillip, and John B. Small. Gold and silver alms basins were bestowed by Mr. Louis Lippman, of Altoona.

A brass eagle lectern, representing the flight of the Gospel through the world, was given as a memorial to Alice Glessner Smith, whose death was the first one Jn the congregation. The church is encircled by handsome cement walks, contributed by Burgess Hale Jacobs, John Elliott, Joseph B. Condron. A skilled gardener will fashion the church lawn, and ivy plants, brought across the Atlantic from an English cathedral, will be planted close to the walls. The church building committee was composed of Mr.

John Lloyd, chairman; Dr. Samuel C. Smith, and Robert W. Smith, with Mr. Peter S.

Duncan acting In an advisory capacity. The members of the church vestry are: Senior warden, James Young; Junior warden, John Lloyd, Dr. Samuel C. Smith, secretary; Richard J. Hall, treasurer; Bowman Duncan, Robert W.

Smith, Percy C. Kapp, and George M. Smith, jr. forms of ballots and changes in the conduct of the general elections are subjects in which many changes are suggested. In discussing the methods of nominating candidates, Chairman Prichard said: "Notwithstanding the fact that the movement towards primaries conducted by' the state has been slow, steady and uniform and that this system, in one form or another, has now been adopted by more than two thirds of the states, there is consid erable difference of opinion as to the merits of the system and there are many advocates of a return, either wholly or in part, to the old system by which each party was left fre to make nominations in any way desired." Regarding the form of ballot t'ae report says: "On this subject, there is some difference of opinion among Intelligent men.

The substitution 'of a single ballot panted by the state and distributed only at the polls in lieu of party ballots distributed by the par-trp Is now almost universal, forty-one out of the forty-six states having adopted the single ballot. There are, however, many persons who advocate the return to t'Je old- party ballot system, and the first subject for the commission to discuss Is whether present system shall be retained."

Bishop Darlington Jn his address to the sixth annual convention of the Diocese of Harrisburg, last evening In Luke's Protestant Episcopal church, first referred to 1 his celebration of the fifth aniversary of his consecration as bishop and coming to the diocese on April 2ti, 1905, and on that day this year confirming a class In. the Ourch of the Good Shepherd, Caleton, a new church not in existence at ihat time.

He thanked all both of the clergy and the laity for their prayers and constant help witaout which he could have done no thin 3. tAfter the usual obituary notices and prayers, he spoke with aproval of the Layman's Missionary movement and urged all parishes and missions to make up their apportionment Fo that the full sum of the diocese might be raised "before September the first, the end of the mission year. He also commended the Missionary Advocate published by the diocesan board and spoke particularly of the needs of St. Andrew's mission for the church students of the whole state of Pennsylvania at State College, and of St. Augustine's mission for the colored race for wfiich three lots of groun 'nave just been purchased in (Harrisburg.

He suggested that an annual sermon be preached in each charge giving a history of the parish or mission, which should afterwards be preserved with the ot'Jer records of the diocese. He also urged a larger attendance and support for the church club, of the Woman's auxiliary, St. Andrew's brotherhood, the archdeaconeries, and other diocesan organizations so as to do away, as far as possible, with a selfish parochialism Tvhic'a might grow up in so large a diocese (equalling twice the size of the whole state of New Jersey) and whose churches are so widely scattered. He requested as the great commission of St. Matthew xxviii-19 is "Go, teacj all na- tions and baptize" that the clergy' give particular attention to urge upon parents great necessity (of holy baptism for their children, and quoted the XXVII of the Articles of Religion the Prayer Book rubric.

Speaking of clerical support he raid: "In the New York Independent of November 25, 1909, Senator George SEAL OP I. Crawford, of Idaho, has an article of considerable length showing that the complaints about 'jigh prices in the United States ana tne increased cost of living are largely justifiable. He proves that from thirty to fifty per cent, more money is required to maintain a family now, than was needed ten years ago. That his conclusion cannot well be denied is evidenced by the fact that a number of our largest railway systems have since the first of January made an Increase of from six to ten per the wages of tneir woTkmen and have dene it willingly, apparently without solicitation on the part of the men." Mr. George R.

Holmes, chief of the division of production and distribution of the department of agriculture, in his annual financial review says: "If farm animals and farm crops are combined, particularly wheat, the general average advance in price of all of t'iem is eighty-seven per cent." W. C. Brown, president of the New York Central railroad says in The Railroad Trainman of April this year: "Wit'a a succession of bountiful harvests the price of grain has steadily Increased imJJJ the prices of IMS and. cension lillies of the valley decked the altar. History of the Church.

In June, 1907, just three years ago, six young men met at the mansion of Mr. and Mrs. Peter S. Duncan, on Sunset Hill, Hollidaysburg, and organized Holy Trinity mission. Chapel services were held every Sunday since time in school hall of the Hollidaysburg seminary.

In Deoem'ber, 1907, a lot was purchased in the best district of the town, opposite ythe Judge John Dean on Allegheny street, for the of $2,400. The funds for this undertaking were largely raised by a company of thirty-five young men of Hollidaysburg, representatives of many religious faiths, through the instrumentalities of a carnival, amateur minstrel performances, and a baseball game between leading law yers and doctors of Blair county. jy. August, 1909, building operations were begun, and on October 17. 1909, the corner stone was laid, with Masonic ceremonies.

Rt. Rev. Alexander Mc Millen, a craftsman of Carlisle lodge, was the orator of that occasion. The architect was J. A.

Dempwolf, of York, Clifford D. Hughes, of Hollidays burg, was the contractor who carried out the architects designs, 'with a master hand. The structure is a dainty little church, of the English chapel style, fashioned put of native Brush mountain stone, and having some of the characteristics of New York's famous "Little Church Around the Corner." Its approximate cost is' $10,000, and it has a seating capacity for 175 people. Its pews and furniture are dignified, quartered oak, are provided with kneelers, finished in a rich, dark shade of brown. The windows are of cathedral glass, of; amber shades, relieved by a harmonizing touch of color.

The timbered ceiling and interior wood-1 work are finished in dark, mission, a pleasing contrast with the buff tinted walls. The church is lighted by two continuous rows of electric bulbs, along the cornices. 1 The. rector is the Rev. Harry Os- missions under the leadership of Mrs.

E. Mlj-ers. The Ladies' Aid society of the Church of God Mission will'meet at the home of Mrs. WHlliam Corlbin on Church street this afternoon at 1 o'clock All members are requested to be ptesent. The meeting In the Methodist Episcopal church this evening will be of unusual interest.

The Love Feast will be held, and this service of testimony and song, no memiber of the church should fail to enjoy. At the close of this meeting the Eipworth League will hold a business meeting for the election of officers. At a meeting of 'the Brotherhood' of Andrew and Philip held last even-' ing in the Lutheran church, the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: President, John vice president, Lawrence Mc-Graw; recording secretary, D. C. Ha-verstiok; corresponding secretary, Norman Young; treasurer, JB.

Methods of nominating candidates, There Is No Danger of the comet of ours. you going Trunks, Medicine and many at the ALTO ON The beautiful Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal church, on East Alle gheny street, Hollidaysburg, was for mally opened four public worship yes terday afternoon in the presence of the Rt. Rev. James Henry Darling ton, bishop of the Harrisburg diocese; Archdeacon Alexander McMil-len, a company of twenty-five cleftcy-men of the church, and a large con gregation. Many churchfolk from Al- toona, Tyrone, and other towns attended to witness the impressive ceremonies.

Bishop Darlington's chaplain was the Rev. Martin L. Tate, of Tyrone, whose unselfish labors in. Holy Trinity mission will be ever held in grateful remembrance. In the course of his address, the bishop paid a fitting tribute to the arduous work performed by the little band of churchmen, who had built the church, and also praised their rector, Rev.

Harry Oswald Nash, for the great, results achieved by him during his brief ministry in Hollidaysburg. Addresses in keeping with the occasion were aso delivered by the Rt. Rev. Alexander McMillen, of Carlisle, archdeacon of the Harrisburg archdeaconry of the diocese; Rev. Leroy F.

Baker, of Selinsgrove, general mis sionary; George N. Reynolds, of Dan-caster, treasurer of the board of missions; Rev. Lewis Nichols, St. Paul's church, Lock Haven; Rev. George L.

Browne, St. John's church, Lancaster; Rev. James W. Diggles, St. Paul's church, Bloomsburg.

One of the most effective addresses was made by the Rev. Robert F. Gibson, of Trinity church, Williamsport, a grandson of the Rev. William Gibson, who ministered to Presbyterian congregations near Hollidaysburg forty years ago. Rev.

Mr. Gibson spoke of local associations, and stated that the ambition of his early days, to be able to speak in an Episcopal church in Hollidaysburg, was now realized. The singing of the vested choir of Holy Trinity was an edifying feature of the service. Large sprays of sweet scented lilac blossoms lined the nave of the church, and in each window nestled a bouquet of nasturtiums. As- necessary help, and brought a sick woman back to health again.

This cannot be done by any general resolution passed In our convention. Each parish or mission must realize its own responsibility and do the best It can in Its own way. The largest amounts paid to any of our clergymen are small and the smallest stipends are almost unbelievable. My words, of course, are only a suggestion but I have confidence that simply calling your attention to tie enormous increase in t'je prtesent prices of food and clothing will lead you to do all you can in reason to make the clerical support in your own parish better and fairer before another year rolls around.
