NEf,I E(vr

The Rev. o. +. Bartholow. pastor OF the Fleet
Street Methodist Church, preached prelude to his
sermon yesterday morning on the alleged poverty
OF superannuated Methodist cergymen He said:
one of the worthiest causes 10 which Methodists
contribute is that for the benefit OF wornout Meho
dist Episcopal preachers Our Church, as whole,
Ia remark ably liberal to these men who laid the
foundation of our growth We love them. and as
mater of experience have found 1t easier TO raise
money for these heroes than for any Other cause.
Our attention has called TO certain statements
concerning the relation of the Church 10 some Of
these fathers. One statement is that some of our
worthy old ministers were allowed to go TO the
Poorhouse'' because OF nattention or lack Of
Interest as Church. This Is news to us-we can
not credit it We hope the Statement Is Is, mis- mis-.
ptatemem II Is certainly unfair 10 the Methodist
people 1t places us before The people in a false
light. II Is q remark calculated TO do harm rather
than good. As a matter of fact we do not believe
It Is true .
l am from a family of Methodists. My grand
father was superannuate OF the Illinois Confer
ence at his death. 1t ever was his opinion in his
last days that Notwithstanding his pioneer struggles
and sacrifices OF forty years in the Methodist Epis-
copa ministry. the Church was better to him in
remembrance and honor than he could have asked.
Methodists do honor and care for their old minis
tiers well IL not better than any other CAurch.
Remarks 10 the contrary are sensational and can
not bear the light Of history or truth
