Order suspends Illinois Baptist paper amid losses
The Illinois Baptist weekly paper owned by the Baptist State Association and edited by Dr. W. P. Thorgmorton was suspended by the Board of Control at a DuQuoin meeting. The paper, published from Marion with about 4000 weekly copies, faced a price rise to two dollars a year after a long deficit. Thorgmorton, age 77 and ill, will continue the paper solo from his resources. The board also urged wage cuts and elimination of evangelists and several state officers, leaving only a general secretary, a stenographer, the Carmi orphanage superintendent, a field worker, and helpers. Total obligations, including debts for Ewing College and salaries, reach 165000.
