it don't seem exactly right that we
should start of by getting married in

caretaber his walking papers. You

preacher fixed and waiting. And here's
I another idea. You bring your riding

come, and you find me waiting with a
couple of horses. and we'll ride over

and the larger part of the burden is
borne by the clergy in the small
towns and rural districts, though
these men have produced and will
continue to produce by far the great

ly to be wondered at that there is
sometimes a spirit of unrest because
of the plenty at headquarters and the

That our Conference Claimants
have not had square deal can be
attributed largely to the fact that
what is everybody's business is no
body's business" These veterans
have had no champions-their cause
has not been popular-every other
enterprise of the church has had its
special representatives and it's en-
thusiastic propagandists. Not so this
one. A most reprehensible degree OF
ignorance as to the real conditions in
relation to the needs of the Confer
ence Claimants has hitherto prevail
ed, not only among the laity but in
the ranks Of the ministry as we'll. My
special work has made it imperative
upon me to acquaint myself with the
facts. My knowledge of these facts
imposes upon me sacred duty, the
evasion of which would but tend to
perpetuate the crying injustice of the
past and effectually fasten upon this
conference system which would
continue to work hardship in the fu-
ture as it has done hitherto.
Our general secretary, DR.. Hinge
ley, reports that throughout the
church, at large, during 1901. by
reason of our failure to carry out the
disciplinary requirement as to the
pro-rating of all claims for ministerial
support, that the men in the active
ranks have appropriated, for their
own use and benefit, the immense
sum of $6S,317, every cent OF which
legally belonged ito the conference
claimants. North Dakota has been
guilty with the other conferences in
this respect. q
1 believe that the time has arrived
for this conference to go on record,
definitely and decisively, as to the
rights of our superannuates, widows
and orphans. Sense not sentiment
should hereafter determine our &C.
tons. Unless, after careful investi-
CATION and discussion of all the facts
in the case, we enact effective legis-
lation insuring impartial and liberal
treatment to every claimant, this
whole matter will become a fruitful
source of dissension and a permanent
bone of contention.
