A BIG FINANCIAL SENSATION IS
SPRUNG UPON THE
MINISTER'S.
MONEY WAS LOANED 70 STUDENTS.
OF 100000 Loaned Out, Only $4,000
Has Been Paid Back-Proceedin
Of the Southern Baptist Con-
ference at Chattanooga.

Cleveland, o., May 9.-Today's pro-
ceedings of the Methodist Episcopal gen.
eral conference developed no sensations.
There was a brief reference to the pro-
posed federation of the churches north and
south, and a resolution was introduced
asking for equal representation for lay.
men.
At the meeting of the committee on edu-
cation, following the adjournment of the
conference, CONSERVATION was caused by
the reading of a report to the effect that
funds to the amount of more than $780,
900 had been loaned to students during the
past twenty-five years, and that only
about $4,000 of that sum had been re-
paid. The report precipitated lively
discussion, and a subcommittee was APP
pointed to investigate the matter fully.
Since 1873 the board of education of
the Methodist church has been loaning
to INDECENT, deserving students money
with which to complete the studies nee
essary to make them Methodist minis
tiers. The loans were for long time and
on easy payments. Two days ago Rev.
Charles H. Payne of New York City,
corresponding secretary of the board,
bracing the twenty-five years during
which they have been given. This re-
port showed that 5000, 900 had been paid
to students and that only $4,000 had
been returned. At the meeting of the
conference committee on education this
matter was brought up in the form of
motion for subcommittee to look into
this apparently extraordinary state of af-
fairs. A minister declared that the loan
Ssfnrf
pers and that it impaired their useful
ness and was a bad thing in all ways.
Rev. j. III. Glendinning of Fort Smith,
Ark, said he could scarcely believe his
senses when the figures were presented
before him. The effect of the system
on the students, he said. could not be
other than disastrous. Men who would
not pay their debts were not fit to be
ministers.
Said Chancellor Day of Syracuse, n
T.: IF the payments do not come in
better than these we had better abolish
the plan. 1t is apparently pauperizing
the students and making them actually
dishonest"
subcommittee of five was appointed
to examine more closely into the matter
DR.. Payne, when informed of the re-
ception his report met with, said:
These gentlemen are too hasty; they
don't know all the facts. They should
read all of the report, which shows the
causes of the small return of loans.
When the plan was first put into eX-
ecution the requirements were lax No
notes were taken and the money was
generally considered as a gift in the
cause of Christ. No notes were re-
quired up to 1880. Again some of these
aided students have taken charges
where they can barely get living. 9th
ers of them have died. But the main
cause of the showing in the re-
port is mainly the fact that the
great bulk of the 100000 has
been loaned so recently that sufficient
time has not elapsed for its repayment.
of the total, 8 per cent has been loaned
since 1885: 16 per cent since 1888 and Al
per cent since 1892,
