POVERTY OF CLERGY.
RELIEF FUND IN LONDON. HEARTRENDING APPEALS. LONDON, Oct. 19. The Westminster Gazette says that owing to poverty among East End Anglican clergy, a® committee of business men is appealing for relief funds. One country parson pawned his gold watch in order properly to entertain a visiting archdeacon who, realising the position, left £25 under hfs plate. The Poor Clergy Corporation last year had 962 applications for money grants and 985 for clothing. Some of the appeals were heartrending.
