Bishop Lawrence Urges
Pension Fund For Clergy

all is very evident
What should you do? asked the
Bishop. The average salary OF ST.
200 a year, he said. could be in
creased 20 per cent, but the clergy
men would be no better off at the
end OF life because the increase
would have to be put into necessi-
ties.
A general pension system, he said,
had been adopted at a general con
vention of the Episcopal Church and
pronounced the best work on pen
sions yet devised. He then explained
the system.
A clergyman who had arrived at
the age OF 40 years, was enable TO
carry adequate life insurance, and in
20 or 80 years would be incapaci-
tated and would be on that parish or
church. Every clergyman when near
the end Of his life was usually in
capacitated for sometime. Why
should not the parish when a man is
in his strength send Z per cent of
his salary of 500 a month to the
church pension fund in New York
This goes on interest TO the clergy
mans credit and when he reaches
the age OF 6S years he will receive a
pension of one-half Of his annual
salary. Upon his death. after re-
tirement, his widow will receive one
half of that amount. II disabled be-
fore the retirement age, the minister
will receive 40 per cent. Of his an
nual salary and in case of death his
widow One-half of that amount.
The reason for asking for the five
million dollars, he said. was to
create a reserve fund and fill up q
hole in the pension system which
system started with clergymen OF
all ages, therefore extra money
would be needed to help pay the pen
sions of the older men who would
be on the pension rolls before the
payments by their parishes would
reach the amount calculated on in
the pension plan. 1t was desired tC
start with a minimum pension o.
$500 a year and a maximum ol
( $4,000.
An educational campaign, the bishol

Let us treat our clergymen as wei
as New York City treats her police

bishop concluded.

leadership is one OF the great needs
OF the day"
What has this to do with the
church?" Bishop Lawrence asked. He
said that in this striving after greater
efficiency the church has been a lag
gard. He stated that he wished the
laity to see what enormous waste
there had been in the church. He said
that il there had been such a waste in
any business, such business would
have gone to pieces.
There are 1000 clergymen in the
Episcopal Church. he said. Some 4,5OO
are in active service, including the
bishops. The remainder are in other
relations, some teaching school, some
in secretarial positions, some inefi-
cient. The Episcopal Church was the
first church to get at the exact facts
as to what salaries it was paying its
ministers.
The average salary OF the 4.5OO
clergymen in active service. he said
is $1,000 a year. over a majority OF
them get 81 1,500 or less. Only 234 get
$4,000 or over
Seventy per cent. OF the clergymen
he said, had seven years above the
high school course in schooling and
ninety per cent four years, and all
were supposed to be cultured gentle
men and always well dressed.
The clergymen. he said, who receive
the average salary Of $1,000 a year
is compelled to pay over 16 per cent.
for rent leaving on the average of
81 900 as his actual salary. The
clergyman often has a wife and two
children and it is an impossibility to
live properly on such salary. It
necessitated petty economies. 1t is
| impossible for the clergymen to have
a house servant. and if the baby is
taken sick at night. the father is
compelled to be up all night. and the
result is that his work suffers next
day. He is put on a job that maid
at 81 a week could do.
"A poorly paid clergyman" the
Bishop said, "ls likely to lack self
respect and was likely TO be placed
under obligation for favors. Under
| the interstate commerce law, Grim
inals and insane persons and inmates
Of charitable and eleemosynary insti-
tutions. when in charge Of keepers,
and ministers are allowed to travel
at half fare on the railroads. This |
: think is an insult to the ministers.
The great department stores allow a
ten per cent. discount to ministers
But for the fact that they are conse-
Grated men, the ministers would not
be able to retain their self-respect
as a result of all this"
Ministers OF the Episcopal Church
up to the present, the Bishop said
had been objects Of charity il in
capacited FOR further service and ap-
peals for charity were made for the
widows and orphans in case OF theil
death. No clergyman, he said coult
do his best work if he felt that Later
on he might be the object OF charity

ture tour. Bryan himself insisted
that he would not interfere in the Con.
gress dispute.
Despite increased clamor in Congress
for a direct vote on the merits of a reso-
luton warning Americans of armed
ships pending negotiations with the Cen
tral Powers. it became more certain that
the House will vote to table the Nc
Lemorc resolution.
Ultimately, however, few leaders saw
how another vote, in both the Senate
and House, ON n simple warning rosolu-
tion could be avoided.
Efforts were renewed to postpone tho
House vote until Thursday. This agita-
tion came from the anti-adminstratiou
faction. 1t was practically a foregonC
conclusion that the movement would not
succeed and that the House vote would
come oil per schedule tomorrow.
The President today called Repre-
sentative Bennett and Representative
Lenroot, Republican members of the
rules committee, to the White House
and discussed with them the rule
needed to bring about a vote on the
McLemore resolution. The Republic
cans told the Executive that the COM
mittee had not yet prepared a con-
crete rule and that being in the mi
nority on the committee, they we're
unable to say how soon a rule could
be formulated. They told the Presi-
dent they believed the matter should
be handled strictly in a non-parti-
san manner and would work to that
end.
1t was stated at the White House
that a test vote on the rule offered
in the House was expected not later
than tomorrow. Belief was expressed
that the vote on this rule would indi-
cate the Presidents strength.
The House rules committee met this
morning to frame the special rule
bringing up the McLemOre resolution
1 It was reported formal action would
be postponed until tomorrow, just be-
fore the House convenes for the final
vote.
Another formal step planned was
for Chairman Flood, of the foreign az
I fairs committee to have the McLe
more resolution, with the committed!
adverse report, taken from the tabl,
and placed on the House calendar
This step was necessary as a parlia
mentary proceeding. to give the rulei
