URGE FUND FOR RETIRED AS
- TORS.

The following is taken from the
Dubuque Telegraph Herald regarding
the fund which is being urged for
retired pastors Of the Methodist
Episcopal church: .!-'-
@'The forty thousand four hundred
and forty-seven members Of the Up
per Iowa conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church are being ap-
pealed to by. Judge Silas M. Weaver,
Of the supreme court, Judge NJ. F.
Edwards of the district court, C.
P. Colgrove, s. G. Armstrong, E.
M. Sherman, w. S. Holbrook and
Calvin Yoran, to do their mightiest
toward raising 100000 for a re-
tired preachers fund. During the
month of May, in celebrating the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of Methodism, every church in the
Upper Iowa conference will endeav-
OF, to do its part in raising this
fund, and wealthy men have been
urged by the committee to remember
this fund in their wills. The claim
is made that many preachers who
havo been in active work for forty
and even fifty years only receive
one-fourth Of their just claims, and
in order to have men of ability and
leadership in the pulpits arrange
ments must be made for them when
by reason of old age or misfortune
they are compelled to cease their
1abors for the church.

LENox COLLEGE NOT TO MOVE.
(Hopkinton Leader),

$~O<~-~-S~A~
The Dubuque; papers a few days a,
printed misleading report of tn
proposed consolidation OF Lenox co
lege with the German Presbyteria
theological seminary of that city. We
naturally the friends OF Lenox wer
concerned as to its authenticity. TIL
Dubuque reporters jumped at conclr
sions as to the facts and were to-
anxious to make story. It grew
ont Of a meeting of the committe,
appointed by the last Presbyteria,
synod to canvass the college situa
tion In the state. The committee
composed Of DR.. F. c. Mexican, o.
Des Moires, DR.. Fahs of Cedal
Falls, Mr.. Blake Of Waterloo, Nc
Connell Of Cedar Rapids, Manley o.
Sioux City, DR.. Ruston of Dubuque
and F. E. Williamson of Hopkin
ton, met at Waterloo two weeks
ago. They discussed the school sit
uation, but none of those present
and representing the various
Presbyterian colleges of Iowa were
In favor of taking up any of the
institutions and none encouraged the
idea.
It has been well known for a
couple Of years that a movement has
been on, originated by the college
boards in the east, looking to the
consolidation Of colleges in Iowa
and other states. This does not
apply to Presbyterian colleges alone,
but the same idea is working among
the Methodists and other denomin-
at1ons whose educational plants are
n ri
The idea of the promoters Is to
build up one or two large colleges
to state and thus concentrate the
giving instead Of spreading the funds
among several. It is equally we'll
known that not single sectarian
school in Iowa has an income e1uall-
ing it's expenses. All of them are
comnelled to depend upon public IA
vor to meet their annual deficits.
They have been maintaining exten-
sive plants and furnishing educa-
ton for less than cost. Every col
lege in Iowa no matter Of what de-
nomination, has had its problems
to work out. .,@.z'
Friends OF Lenox may feel assured
that its board of trustees will stand
firm in protecting the college and its
interests. Lenox Is uniquely situated
