agent for the establishment OF the So OOO 900
pension fund provided for the clergymen
OF the Episcopal church,
The inadequacy OF the salary paid TO the
average clergyman he declares, de
manded some provision for his maintenance
when he had reached old age or was other
wise incapacitated for further service, and
when no one wished his services he had
heretofore become an object Of charity.

closed an average salary OF less than $500
year IN some sections, and not more
than $500 In any section. This OF course,
/ is an average figure
1T is consequently impossible for the
clergymen to lay by anything for future
emergencies This fund was accordingly
brought forward at the 1907 general con-
ference By Bishop johnson Of Los Angeles.

clergymen and twenty distinguished lay
men We're named to raise the 100000 for
