THE CHURCH PENSION FUND
New York, May 10th. Bishop VIM.
Lawrence, of Massachusetts, announced
tonight that pledges have been received
for Two Million and half, one half the
sum which is being collected to pension
cletgymen of the Protestant Episcopal
Church at the age of 68.
The Presbyterian Church will ade-
quately provide for its ministers too, as
is evident from the following: g:-The
Rev. DR.. w. H. Foulkes, of Phlladel-
phia, reported substantial gifts to the
Ten Million dollar fund for this purpose.
He reported gift of $3.50, 900 from one
woman who had previously given $3.50,
900 making a Million dollars alone from
one person. The Presbyterian plan
provides for a maximum pension of
$500 for ministers when they retire at
the age of 70, the amount being govern
ed by the number of years the minister
has served the church. The Episcopal
Church, provides minimum of $500 at
the age of 68, irrespective of the time a
minister has served the Church.
