NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 1 —
Many Methodist ministers in ev-
ery Southern and Western state
who have been trying to exist on
infinitesimal incomes during the
past years will have their salar-
ies raised within the next few
months. This very practical anil
definite steps to be taken by the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
South, following the financial
drive of that denomination in
April The drive, has $35,000,-
000 as its goal, has been under-
: taken with a view to putting the
work of the church on a business
basis, the raising of the salaries
of their underpaid pastors being
considered one of the first mat-
ters of importance.
| There are 8GG salaries now
$100 or less which will be raised
j to $600; 485 salaries now $400 and
; $500 which will be raised to $700;
588 salaries now $000 and $700
j which will be raised to $1,000 a
' year; 637 salaries from $700 to
; $800 to be raised to $1,000; and
' 180 salaries ranging from $800 to
j $000 which will also be rasied to
1 $1,000. The supplementing of
these salaries will require $2,850,-
000 during the forthcoming five
years and the success of the Cen-
tenary drive will make their in-
crease immediately possible.

breadth of Southern Methodism

The high school auditorium was.
well filled on Tuesday night, not-
withstanding the very inclement
weather, to listen to the entertain-
ment iriven by the pupils of
Joseph's Convent school in honor
of the silver jubilee of the ordi-
nation of Rt. Rev. Monsignor
John Metter as a priest, and wc
are certain all enjoyed the excel-
lent entertainment, for it was-
well "worth while." It consisted of
instrumenail music, drills, etc.,
all concluding with a drama of
four acts, and in all the selections
the pupils certainly reflected great
credit upon their teachers. The
little tots, girls and boys, were
especially pleasing, the little girls
looking like flowers ia their white
dresses and tho boys making
fine, manly appearance in their
sailor suits. Masters John Ma-
guire and Jeromo Nolan were the
stars in the Sailor's Hornpipe
The Jubliee Drill and the Jubilee
Offering, by the older girls, were
also worthy of special mention,
and the music was beautifully
rendered. This school is under
the management of the Sisters of
the Incarnate Word, six of them
having charge as teachers, ami
their work has proven most ex-
cellen in every particular and
along all lines.
Monsignor Metter was ordained
as priest in the cathedral at Guth
rie some twenty-five years ago
and came to Norman twenty-three
years ago as pastor of St. Joseph s
church. It was a weak organiza
tion at that time, with a small
church building but by persever-
ance, energy and earnestness in
the work, Mr. Metter has built it
up until it is now one of the most
j influential and prosperous church-
es in the city, with valuable church
property. Mr. MetteT has secur
ed the respect and love of his peo-
ple in a marked degree, and the
esteem of the community, and all
join in congratulating him on his
silver jubilee. On Sunday next, at
the morning service at St. Jos-
eph's, a special religious service
will be held, with a number of
priests from abroad present
Bishop Mearscheart, who ordainen
Father Metter twenty-five years
ago, is also expected to be present.
