VICAR TOO POOR TO BUY BOOTS.

£400 A YEAR BIL NIE. KEET

Bitter complaints of the poverty of the clergy are made by the Rev. W. V. Mason, vicar of St. Aidan's Church Leeds, who, in support of his statements, has published his domestic balance sheet in the parish magazine, telegraphs the Daily Chro mrle correspondent.

St Aidan's is one of the largest churches and paristes in the city. and has a population of over 21,000, Although the gross value of the Uving is about £400 (Crockford gives tat £390) and a house, Mr. Mason declares that he cannot afford to buy Leven a pair of boots.

"Most people." he writes, "would pushpooh that idea, but it is strictly true that my income is insufficient to provide even a penny towards any new clothes for myself or my family. or so much as a penny towards the education of my children, personal Insurances, charity, holiday, or even postages.

No one. he adds, could think of becoming vicar of St. Aidan's who had not a private income.

Explaining where his stipend goes, the vicar blames the large and ur wieldy vicarage, which, he suggests. ould be better utilized as a bome of fsome kind

The following figures are given as showing, roughly, the necessary ex- penses for a year at the vicarage:-

When it comes to food," says the vicar. "most housekeepers would allow that 12s. per head per week did not permit of many luxuries, but, with five people to feed, Mrs. "Mason would require £3 per week, i.e., £156 for the year, and then bay prestol the Vicar, already £3 in debt, is left: without a penny to meet all the other expenses for the year for himself and this family.

"It is earnestly to be hoped that many will more than double their contribution to the Easter offering this" year.

In addition to a decent pair of boots, I might then manage a holiday.".
