AGE PENSIONS FOR
 EPISCOPAL MINISTERS

The Episcopal Church throughout the United States has been working hard the past year in the establish ment Of business-hke Pension system for its aged or otherwise disabled min isters. After thorough study of rhe subject. and with the advice Of New York's leading life insurance experts, a plan has been devised Of ieYying 3 small annual assessment upon each parish. these to be paid into a central Pension Fund. which has been incor- porated under the laws Of the state Of New York, which Fund will be able, with the passing years to pay pensions of about $500 per year to clergymen reaching the age of $, or te those in- capsciated earlier Provision will also be made for widows and minor child ren.
 The Episcopal Church has about 5000 clergy. Their average salary is only sl0o per month. There is not much raise as the work grows and the family increases. There is almost no chance to lay aside money for old age, nor 10 carry adequate life insurance. Not sympathy. but justice. demands that the Church make better provision for it's old men. Heretofore, it has been on a charity basis. through a Clergy Relief Fund Pensions are the modern means, used by the govern. ment and by many business corpora. tions. Pensions are simply deferred salaries, paid in old age after the work has stopped because the work was well done while the man was young.
 To put the plan into immediate op eration, because there are already many old men now. or soon to be, en. titled to pensions. a Reserve Fund oi s5.O10,O10 was found necessary. Oyer ss.100, 900 Of this has already been rais. ed; the balance must be raised b, March 1st of this year. It is hoped that Alaska, where the EpiscoDa Church spends about s50.00O a year ir missions, school and hospital work will contribute s1.OO0. Juneau has al. ready raised s509. From the Churcf in Ketchikan s10O is expected.
