HEAR PENSION PLANS

Meeting At Centenary Church Discuss Coming Drive for $25,000 Fund.

A meeting of tho iVFeOiodlst ministers of Terre Haute and vicinity was held Saturday morning: at 10:30 at the Centenary Methodist church for th«: purpose of formulating plans and mobilizing forces for the big drive for $25,000 for preachers' pensions. Dr. Sweitzer, district superintendent, presided. Raymond Wade, D. D., superintendent of the Goshen district addressed the meeting In behalf of the conference claimants of Northern Indiana. Rev. F. O. Fraley, secretary of the northwestern Indiana Kndowment fund, spoke of the progress of the campaign In the Greencastle district.

Kev. John T. B. Smith, of the board of conference claimants, of Chicago, spoke as.foliows: "Protestant churches now have approximately J33.000.0CK) of the J65.000.000 preachers' venaion fund, which la being raised.

By denomination*, present pension fends are: Methodist Episcopal, 11,000,000 Protestant Bplscopal, $1,500,000 Presbyterian, $6,569,938 Northern Baptist, $2,000,000 Congregational. $1,900,000, Methodist Episcopal church. South. $1,200,000 General Synod, Lutheran church. SlF.0,000 Augustans Synod, FJvungelical Lutheran, $265,000 Church of Christ, $816,000. and the Presbyterian Southern, has an annual budget of $80,000.

The churches long ago recognized the justice of preachers' pensions. In 1743 the Moravian church was first planted in America and pensioned Its pastors. Methodism was an early pioneer In the pension movement, for in 1762 a fund for worn-out ministers was Inaugurated (by the Rev. John Wesley, and In 1774, the secoftd American conference ordered an Easter collection for needy itinerant*.

At the Methodist Episcopal general conference In 1908, strong laymen secured legislation which created the board of conference claimants with Dr. Joseph B. Hingelev as corresponding secretary. Laymen said this movement. was "Inherent, foremost, supreme." In 1912, campaigns were authorized for $5,000,000 now our church in Peeking $20,000,000. The total disciplinary claim for the 2,978 retired ministers, 3,225 widows, and 443 orphans is $2,000,000. In 1908 the amount paid was $665,000, In 1917 it was 11,265.000, an increase of $600,000. "In 1913 not one retired minister received an allowance of as much as $600, but in 1916 there were sixty-eight veterans who received $600, and In 1917 these averages were largely augmented. The average salary of Methodist ministers is $1,000 for the flnt time in the history of the church."
