BROWN DEFENDS ST. PAUL LEASE ON POSTOFFICE fieport Asks President to Recommend 5-Year Building Program. 1 v Cnited Prent WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Post-master-General Brown has certified to President Hoover that the postoffice department was not guilty of either dishonesty or incompetence in leasing St. Paul quarters valued at SBOO,OOO for $120,775 a year for twenty years. In a report made public Wednesday night, Brown expressed this opinion, and also asked Mr. Hoover to recommend to congress a fiveyear building and purchasing program to replace 198 leased structures with government-owned buildings. The program would cast $43,140,000. Brown’s recommendations were the result of a study of the entire postoffice leasing system, undertaken after Senator Blaine (Rep., Wis.) and others had criticised it in congress. “There is no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of any agent of the department in connection with the St. Paul transaction,” the report said. “The rental rate per square foot was not out of line with the rate paid commercially for other buildings of the same type similarly located.”

Thousands of Dollars Flow Into Aimees Temple Coffers

This is the last of a aeriei of four stories on Aimee Semple McPheraon and her mother. Mr*. Minnie Kennedy. Todar. Oon Robert* describe* In detail the huge and smoothlv working machine for the dissemination of religion on an elaborate scale that these two women hare built up at Angelas Temple. BY DON ROBERTS NEA Service Writer (Copyright. 1930. by NEA Service. Inc.) LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.—“ God’s star saleswoman,” as Aimee Semple McPherson once described herself back in the days when she was a struggling evangelist, is a wholesaler of religion now. No “big business” in any line operates more smoothly than her Angelus Temple here, with cash and property assets of $2,000,000, as hundreds of employes in fifty-odd departments pursue their daily task of leading sinners to salvation, spreading the work far and wide by means of missions, training future preachers, teaching; music, praying in hospitals and jails, selling books, publishing a monthly magazine and weekly newspaper, dispensing charity to the needy, selling tracts and forever expanding along additional lines. The organization is a complicated one, but Aimee Semple McPherson runs everything. She is president of the Church of the Four Square Gospel, which is Angelus Temple; president of the Echo Park Evangelistic Association, which owns all the property; president of the International Four Square Gospel Lighthouse Association, which extends the work to distant fields.

HERE is a list that gives an idea of the varied activities at Angelus temple, through Vhich hundreds of thousands of dollars are said to flow each year: THE CHURCH—Miss Mae Waldron, Mrs. McPherson’s secretary, says it costs about $1,200 a week to support the church alone and the offerings “just about take care of this.” THE BIBLE SCHOOL—For the training of future pastors of Four Square churches in Aimee’s roofraising methods of evangelism. Mrs. Harriet Jordan, a trustee in the Evangelistic Association, heads the school and receives about S2OO a month therefor. The highest salary, goes to the business manager, formerly an auditor with a commercial firm, but the amount is not revealed. THE MUSIC SCHOOL—Directed by Lavine Paralotti, who also supervises the three church bands, the school orchestra * and bands, and many other musical activities. THE BOOK STORE—SeIIs Aimee’s books, of which there are six, including “In the Service of the King,” which is widely known. CHURCH PUBLICATIONS—The Bridal Call Foursquare, a monthly magazine, and the Foursquare Crusader, a weekly. PRINTED SERMONS—Every sermon is printed in pamphlet form and sold for a small sum, usually 25 cents. Some are ordered in 150,000 lots and distributed throughout the world. MISSIONS—The Interna t i o n a 1 Four Square Gospel Lighthouse Association arranges for branch churches and missions. Branch churches contribute nothing' to the main church, but do collect for the missions. CHARITY RELIEF Open day and night and all food, etc., is donated; only salary paid here is to the truck driver. Workers respond to emergency calls for prayer and also conduct services in hospitals and jails. tt tt tt SUCH is the setup, but when one attempts to dig deeply into the details he is met with a veil

of reticence that is thicker than a Newfoundland fog. Hundreds of workers, paid and voluntary, hustle in the fifty departments. They are so efficiently or- | ganized and function so well that all the schools, bookstores, publi- | cations, etc., are self-supporting, j Only the church, itself, needs the | aid of the generous contributor. Efficiency is typified by the 120 collection plates that gleam in two ; cases set along one wall of the temple. Also, by the attractive display of Mrs. McPherson’s books that are placed in cases with pictures of the pastor and her works where they must be seen, inescapably, by the thousands who visit the temple. It is estimated that the total pay roll of the temple and its branches runs between $7,500 and SIO,OOO a week. And there are hundreds of unsalaried, volunteer workers who may be called to assist in any department; there are 290 volunteer men ushers and 200 women are enlisted for the same purj pose. tt tt a JUST what Sister Aimee gets out of all this is hard to determine, as one is met by reticence when details are sought in all such matters, but her income apparently is a comfortable one. Through an unusual arrangement, no regular salary is guaranteed or paid. The largest individual item seems to be a ‘Love Offering,” which is given to Sister McPherson by the congregation on the first Sunday of each month. Miss Waldron refuses to say just how much this “love offering” amounts to, although she admits it has never been lower than $250 and that figure was reached only once. Usually, it is believed, it hits about SSOO a month. The temple's book store gets the profits from the sale of Aimee’s books, but she gets the royalties as the author. Asa teacher in the Bible school—which trains young evangelists of both sexes, and somewhat resembles a school of public speaking— Aimee receives the regular teacher’s salary of S2OO a month. Thus the discernible total of her income appears to be about S9OO a month. tt a a THE parsonage in which she lives on the rear of the temple property is comfortably and fairly expensively furnished, but it belongs to txie evangelistic association, which holds all the church property. The temple furnishes the parsonage and supplies a cook and a woman to clean house. Mrs. McPherson has no maid and usually drives her own car, a Cadillac sedan, although she now has a chauffeur. Roberta, her daughter, had a small coupe before it developed a bad case of old age and was discarded. Rolf, her son, has no car. The children make their home with her. She is training both to be evangelists; Roberta has donned the familiar flowing robes and assisted her mother in various ener-

getic campaigns against the devil; Rolf just has returned from his first tour as an evangelist and is highly pleased with his chosen career. The rest is simple—Aimee is still boss, Ma is out. THE END. Burial at Hartford City HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Sept. 23. —The body of Mrs. Bertha Lupton, wife of A. G.
