REV. R. II. COOPER.
Former Mexico Pastor Collects
$4,000 for Care Of Worn
out Preachers.

Montgomery, Mo-, Dec. H.
The Missouri Conference of the
ME-. Church South is now looking
after the old and superannuated
preachers who are living in this
part of the State.
The Reverend X. II. Cooper, of
Fayette, Mo-. has been appointed
10 travel over this State to raise
an endowment fund. He visited
this city aud delivered a telling
sermon on THE Old Preacher"
He said that he has checks for
$67 900. 1t has been placed in the
hands of a treasurer, aud he has
been authorized to make loans
from this fund only on real estate.
The way Mr.. Cooper makes his
canvass is unique. lie does not
take a collection, but goes to the
leading pulpits Of his church aud
tells the story of the old itinerant
preacher; how. when a beardless
boy, he turned away from the
farm, the law or commerce, and
gave himself to the church for the
work of the ministry, promising to
go wher ever sent by those who
had authority over him, and to do
ch eerfully the work assigned him.
Not only did he Senlinquish the
right to choose his field of laDO.
but 10 say what compensation he
would receive for his service. AT
last, after II long term of service,
having received less than $500 a
year. he comes to old age empty
handed aud without means Of sup
port, and too often is left in OBJ
scurity, poverty and sore distress
to spend his last days.
At this point he tells ofa neigh
Dor who had a horse in service for
twenty years and then turned him
out on the commons to starve and
die.
AT the close of his sermon in
Excelsior Springs. G. F. Simmons
gave to his fund $1,000. On an-
other occasion a man who was a
member Of no church volunteered
50 900.
The Reverend Mr.. Cooper says
that the number of old preachers
in this State is increasing, aud the
expense of living is greater, aud
that the present allowance of the
Missouri Conference, of from 800
to $3.50 a year is wholly made
quate to provide the necessities OF
life.
Some of these superannuated
preachers are maintained by rela.
lives and friends aud are not OBJ
jects of chariety.
The conference requested the Bis
bop to appoint the Reverend Mr.
Copper as general agent to give
his entire time in soliciting gifts
to this fund. the Presiding Elder;
and pastors pledging their cooper
alton.
