Many Methodist ministers in every
Southern and Western State who have
been trying to exist, on infinitesimal
incomes during the past years will
have their salaries raised within the
next few months. This very practical
and definite step is to be taken by the
Methodist Cspiscopal Church, South,
following the financial drive of that
denomination in April. The drive,
which has.$35,000,000 as its goal, has
been undertaken with a view to put
ting the work of the church on a bus
iness basis, the raising of the salaries
of their underpaid pastors being con
sidered one of the first matters of
importance.
There are 866 salaries now $400 or
less which will be raised to $600;
588 salaries now $600 and $700 which
will be raised to $1000 a year; 637 sal
aries from $700 to $800 to be raised
to $1000; and 180 salaries ranging
from $800 to $900 which will also be
raised to $1000. The supplementing
of these salaries will require $2,850,
000 during the forthcoming five years
and the success of the Centenary
drive will make their increase immed
iately possible.
Practically every city and tow'n
throughout the length and breadth of
Southern Mehtodism will be affected
it is declared at the headquarters of
the denomination in Nashville, and
every Methodist man and woman who
pulls to on the Centenary drive will
be helping to make possible better
and happier living conditions for the
underpaid pastors in their midst.

coucaging habits of spending intelli
gent saving and investment. These
habits of saving and patriotism, en
couraged and stimulated by the nec
essities of the war, will have a great
permanent value to the country if
applied to its develoment in time of
peace. The teachers of the country
by their daily contact with the child

can do much to influence them in
teaching good citizenship and thrift.

AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
The regular service will be in the
hands of the committees on the drive.
There will be five five-minute talks
by members of the congregations out
lining the plan for the Drive and
congregational canvass.
Following is a letter to Dr. and
Mrs. W.' M. Lyday from their son,
Lieut. C. E. Lyday, who is with the
“Wild Cat” Division, giving his ac
tivities from the time he entered the
training camp:
August 7, 1918—Left Camp Mills
at 10:00 a. m., the hottest day that
New York has recorded, and marched
to Garden City, L. I. with a pack on
our backs, where we entrained for
Long Island City. We then took a
ferry to Bush Terminal docks, which
is the largest docks we have in the U.
S., which is 1512 feet long. Arrived
there at 12:00 o’clock and were given
crackers, cheese, doughnuts, and iced
coffee by the Red Cross. We just lay-
ed around ther6 until about 4:00
o’clock when we were loaded on a
boat, which was an old time British
freighter, now used for a transport
named the Nestor. It took quite some
time for us to get straightened out
after we were on board but managed
to get a pretty good sleep the first
night.
Aug. 8th, 1918.— Ship sailed at
about 1:00 o'clock in a convoy of
15 ships, among which was the Em
press of Russia with 500 Red Cross
Nurses. There were flying machines,
and three derigibles accompaning us
for some distance out and just before
leaving the harbor we saw the last
American Girl in a row boat. It was
rather late in the afternoon when we
saw the good old Statue of Liberty.
We had a very nice* time of it fot
the first three days out but I v/as one
of the luck ones, I w'asn’t sick, al
though a great many of the officers
and boys were sick. Owing to the
rough sea all officers were in charge
of the decks occupied by the enlisted
men so to look after the sick ones.
There was nothing seen by any of
the officers or boys until the morning
of the thirteenth when we sighted two
very large icebergs of the coasts of
Greenland.
There were about 150 officers and
3000 soldiers aboard our ship and one
night, owing to being all tired from
not getting any sleep the firemen
refused to work, of course the boys
volunteered and a certain number
were picked and they fired all the w^ay
over. At one time we were about 65
miles behind the rest of the convoy,
but that was before the soldiers start
ed firing. One day was pretty foggy
and the cruiser had to fire two shots
to let us know in what direction they
w ere. The next day a tanker directly
in front of us fired one shot into the
water which we never found out the
meaning for.
On the night of the sixteenth we
sav/ a ship to the right of us and
signaled it and they refused to return
the signal and our topedo boat went
to it and then returned the following
morning; there was something else we
never found out about.
The night of the seventeenth our
destroyer started on its way back to
the good old U. S., and as she passed
us she raised Old Glory and believe
me there was some hollering.
The next noon we were -met by 3
small torpedo boats to escort us
into England. Then our torpedo boat
left us and headed back to^U. S. and
she raised her flag as she passed.
We arrived in Liverpool, England
at about ten o’clock the night of the
nineteenth and stayed on the ship un
til the following day and disembarked
at ^out 10: 30 A. M. We then hiked
through the streets of Livcrpcol, to
the Union Station where we were met
by a British band consisting of all
small boys and they played the Stsgr
Spangled Banner and quite a few oth*
er very popular songs among the sol-
