Milliken Lends
TO
Minister'S Fund

Portland, Me, Nov. 29.-Rev. ]. T.
Brabner Smith Of Chicago, who is as
sisting the Maine Conference campaign
for 100000 for a permanent fund, the
income of which is to provide pen
sion for aged and retired ministers Of
the Maine Conference of the Methodist
church, has received letter from Gov
ernor-lect Carl f. Milliken, expressing
his entire sympathy with the project.
In common with most thought
full citizens, 1 am in entire sympathy
with the movement by the various de-
nominations for the provision for pen
sions for, preachers and support for
widows and orphans of deceased min
listers"
Former Governor Bert M. Fernald
has formally endorsed the movement in
a communication to the Board of Con-
ference Claimants, and so also has
President William Dewitt Hyde of
Bowdoin College and Prof. Alfred Will
liams Anthony of Bates College.
Former Governor Fernald says:
Like all fraternal organizations, it
would seem to me very proper use Of
money by all members of church, to
contribute to the cause of pensions Of
preachers and adequate support for
widows and orphans of deceased min
listers.
Ministers are rarely ever sufficiently
paid for active service, and certainly
few receive enough to lay by a compe
tency for old age. 1 assume a large
per cent of ministers of the gospel de-
vote their entire lives to the work Of
slot, civ md nlv,tp, In
world to be better because they feel it
their duty, rather than for any COM
pensation they are likely to receive"
President William Dewitt Hyde Of
Bowdoin College adds his endorsement
in the following significant words:
Il congratulate you most heartily
on the noble effort you are making to
secure a pension fund for retired min
listers, and for widows and orphans of
deceased ministers
Through the generosity Of Mr.. Car
negie, many Of Us who are in college
work have been relieved from anxiety,
and great relief it has been to those
who have families dependent on them
and without any means of their own.
For go years I have had an oppor-
tunity to see the splendid and devoted
work of Methodist ministers in Maine.
No more self-denying and heroic body
of men can be found than these preach
ers who on meagre salaries give splen-
did service to their churches and to the
community. You have my best wishes
for your success in this splendid enter
prise in which the Methodist Episcopal
Church is ENTERING
