CURATES' STIPENDS
BISHOP SUGGESTS £2OO l)r. Wilson, Bishop of Chelmsford, speaking not long ago at a meeting in London of the Diocesan Board of Finance, expressed the view that £2OO to £2JO a year for a curate beginning his ministry, with an increase of £lO a year for the first three years, should be adequate for his need if he was a single man. ... When he was a curate, the bishop said, he received £l4O, which he considered was equivalent to £2OO a year now. And that was thought to lie a lot in those days. He maintained that a young man should learn his job before plunging into matrimony or even courtship, because one or the othei was going to suffer, and he had a pretty good idea which one it would be. There was no lack of candidates at present. The trouble was to sift them out and for the applicants afterward to find a curacy. . , In making an appeal for turther funds for churches and schools, the bishop said that if £IO,OOO was required to send a ping-pong team to the United States, someone would at on<;e come forward with the money, but when they asked for such a sum for Cliurcu .work, they-could not set it.
