RE-ORGANISE SALARIES

THE Church of England could easily eliminate the scandal of poorly paid parsons-many of whom are -living on the poverty line and some of whom are actually starving by distributing its millions of income in a more| rational way.

This is the growing opinion of high officers in the Church. The Sunday Dispatch says that a plan may shortly be put forward for a complete reorganisation of Church finance.

The Church of England does not issue a balance sheet! showing its total income and expenditure.

But the income is said to be about £16,500,000 and its own auditors value its assets at £20,000,- 000.

Even in these circumstances there is ample money to assure every one

of the country's There Is

12,500 clergymen of an adequate income and pension.

Yet there are 1,000 benefices with less than £300 a year Income out of which heavy expenses have to be met. On the other hand, there are "at" livings with incomes up to £2,000 a year and only a handful of parishioners.

WIDE SUPPORT

De. 1. A. Wilson, Bishop of Chelms- ford, a keen supporter of the better-) pay-for-parsons nievement, said toj the Sunday Dispatch:

"It is time that some financial re- organisation is put in band to level off some of the inequalities of clergy men's Incunes.
