QUITS PULPIT FOR BUSINESS

Third Pastor at South Bend Resigns to Earn Larger Salary. South Bend, Jam 26.—The Rev. W. H. Freshley, pastor of the First Evangelical church of South Bend, is the third minister to give up the pulpit in South Bend in the last six months. :Hte has accepted the management of the local store of a national merchandise company. His reason for giving up the pulpit is that he can not gain a proper living through the small salary paid. His income in commercial lines will be double that which he received as a preacher, he said. The first of the three ministers to resign was the Rev. G. E. Enterline, who gave up the pastorate of Che Indiana Avenue Christian church to become identified with a local electrical equipmenj house. The second to give up the pulpit was Dr. C. A. Lippinoott, who now is manager of the co-operative department of the Studebaker corporation.
