Joseph TXaldwtn Meredith, of Hubbarholme. has been forced into bankruptcy. He J said he had been in Burma nearly nine years as a chaplain at $65 a month. On returning to England fourteen years ago his assets were $290. He held various curacies to I ?upends of $600 to $800 a year, aventually becoming vicar of Hubbar- ] holme at $1,000. After getting furniture on the in stallment system, he resorted to money lenders and also lost money j on a house purchased by Installments, j In five years he had made himself , liable for $2,800 in interest. He had j four children living away-from home. | His wife had been out sick nursing and was now a waitress in London. To keep the pot boiling he had sold his furniture and the vicarage was practically bare . of furniture. The estimated deficiency was $4,800 The official receiver, at the conclusion of , his examination, said: "If the Established Church and the I denominations do not see that their | Clergy are better paid, if Christianity ; does not cor.ipel them to do it, then . humanity ought.
