New York Times Features Action By llev. llr. Bonnell

The following is from the New York Times of Oct. 1:-

The Rev. Dr. John Sutherland Bonnell, the pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, at Fifty-ﬁfth Street, has declined a $2,000 increase in his salary, it became known yesterday.

At the last meeting of the board l! trustees of the church, an in- crease in salary was voted not only to Dr. Bonnell but also to the Rev. Ralph B. Nesbitt, the asso- ciate pastor; Raymond S. Swan- son, superintendent o! the prop- erty; each of his deputies, all of the office‘ secretaries and typists, the receptionist and switchboard operator. All accepted the raise except Dr. Bonnell. The additional sum offered Mr. Nesbitt was

When Dr. Bonnell was called to the church twelve years ago his salary was $10000 plus the rent o! an apartment. The Bonnell

home is an apartment at 1010 Fifth Avenue, opposite the Metro- politan Museum of Art.

Dr. Bonneil received an increase in his stipend several years ago This is understood to have been $2,000.

"In no sense do I regard my action in this matter as a. neces- sary pattern for other ministers," Dr. Bonnell said when he was asked by telephone last evening. “Indeed, I hope that many chur- ches whose pastors‘ salaries are in the lower-income brackets will take steps to increase their sti- pends to meet the inﬂationary costs of today."

He explained he had refused the extra $2,000 for two reasons.

“First, I hoped that my action would enable the church to con- tribute more generously to the work of missions and the restora- tion oi what the war has de- stroyed," he said. "The General Assembly ‘oi the Presbyterian Church has asked all churches to more than double the annual amount previously given to the boards of the church.

“Second. my wife and I felt that by an adjustment in the fam- ily budget we will be able to meet the rising cost of living."

Dr. and Mrs. Bonnell have four children, the three oldest of whom

I the

are in college.

In the last ﬁve years 1.067 per- sons have been received into the membership of the Fifth Avenue Church, this being the largest gain of any church in the Pres- bytery oi New York. When Dr. Bonnel came here in 1935 from the pastorate of the Westminster United Church, Winnipegﬂanada, average attendance Sunday mornings at the church here was 600. Now it is 1,600.

The Gothic brownstone church. which has stood on its present site since 1875, is having its “face lifted" at a cost of $50,000 or more. The scaffolding is now erected on the exterior.

The "iace-lifting” has included the removal of the six-foot stone fleur de lis at. the top of the high steeple, which weighed several hundred pounds. The fleur de lis was taken down because it was feared to be insufficiently secured, Now the spire tapers to a point The entire stone work is being pointed.

John I. Downey, president of the Fifth Avenue Bank, is chair- man of the Church Property Committee, which has supervised the repairs. Mr. Downey is treas- urer of the church, an elder and a trustee.

The trail dropped from the ledge, where ihe had fallen, into the snow barrqns. For miles there showed no other break, only the rise and fall of drifted snow on a fiat land where only the tops of young spruce trees showed above the white waste. The ice fields stretched endlessly; and the wind swept across them with light flur- ries oi’ dry snow, frosted epume of the great frouen cliffs beyond.

For an instant the breed seemed to hesitate. ‘Iillen his long whip whirled. the huskies answered with sharp yelps, the sled lurched for- ward and broke into wild flight.

No, please God. he would die lke a men, not like a, coward afraid to face mortal agony. He felt the chill of it creeping into his senses. Again that deadly faint- ness seized him.

Ontario Mystery Base Unsolved

NORTH BAY. Ont» Oct. 5—(C'P) -—Seven years ago this week-end, a Nccth Bay couple said good bye to their four children and startsd their two-ycar-old blue sedan along the lonely highway to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.. on the frst lap of a holiday trip to Wlnnpeg. They visited friends in Sudbury, made a date with them at the Sault for thrce weeks later and continued svestword.

The date was never kept. The car never reached Sault Ste. Marla, and seven years later police still list the case of Mr. and Mrs. Earl D. Krk as unsolved. Somewhere along 250 miles of pavement and gravel the car left the road and

The words trickled through hie consciousness. A glare shone in tho room. He tried to rise and was thrust back into — nothlngness.

It was morning when he opened his eyes again. Through the door of the outer room he heard a ket- tle ainglng loudly on tihe stove. Then he suddenly was aware that his broken arm lay in splints, and that his head had cleared. Dimly things came back to him. A doc- tor had been summoned fos- him from somewhere.
