•A FAMOUS RECTOR. America's richest rector, Dr Morgan Dix, who was 81 years of age, died recently. He was rector of Trinity Church, New York, just by Wall street, when the Archbishop of Canterbury, and, later still, the Bishop of London, preached there. It was the clergyman's fifty-third year of association with Trinity parish, whose spiritual affairs he directed with unfailing energy and ability until he caught a chill, which quickly resulted in his death "When preaching it seemed incredible that the man in the pulpit waß over 80 years old. Dr Dix was of Riiglißh descent. He was not only a good clergyman, but a remarkably mart, business man. As rector of the iiarish he had under his immediate sup-srvisbn nine churches and twenty-six .•lergymen. Trinity Church Corporation owns property of the estimated value of £7,800,000 or more, and pays taxes on £3,600,000. It has an income of nearly £200,000 a year, but the corporation is run on business principles, and apparently expends only £76,400 in lenevolences and maintenance. In control of this large property, which is atlmi mistered with a secrecy bordering upon the mysterious, Dr Dix was an important factor. As rector he had to be a financier of ability, and was in receipt of a salary of £SOOO a -ear lor his services. In a recent article hy Mr Charles Russell, dealing with tlr> great wealth of Trinity parish, the n miner of administrating the property, ond the closeness of the corporation, the writer includes the following list of uisbursements: — Rector, £6OOO. Vicars and curates (average £86,000. Sextons and expenses, £BOOO. Music, £14,000. Charities, £14,868. Light, fuel and other •xpen&es, £4OOO. Total, £76,368. Trinity parish is generally resigni&cd as having more loaves and fishes tipn any other in America, and, as vill bo Been, the rector drew as large a salary as the English Chancellor of the Exchequer. Theohurch is situated within a stone's throw of the Stock TTrchange, and'within hearing, almost, of the daily turmoil of the kerb market. Dr Dix had many good friends in the financial neighborhobd, and by open-air services and other devices tried his best to induce brokers and others to lead the higher life. American hens, according to statistics recently issued, now produce over 40,000,000 eggs daily. The annual income derived from American hens in one way and another amounts to £56,000,000. As a rule, the income is greater than that derived from American mines.
