.U.B. CHURCH IS
. RAISING AID FUND
To Pension Old and Worn
Out Ministers of the
Faith.

United Brethren churches in Marion
county, numbering twenty, are now
engaged in raising money toward the
100000 preachers aid fund, which
has been allotted against the West
Virginia Conference. Next Sunday
is to be Laymans' Day and the solicit
ing will start on June 15 and close on
July Is.
Rev. E. H. Waters, Grafton, one of
the conference executive workers IS
in Marion county today speaking in
the interest OF the fund. There are
1000 members Of the denomination in
Marion county and effort will be made
to reach all of them.
Rev. S. E. Bauman- of Warrington,
is the district chairman Of the drive,
and has in charge the North Clarks.
burg, Peoria, Rinehart and Manning
ton charges.
The campaign, which is known as
the new enlistment movement, is set
forth in the following:
while other churches are lining up
for their Men and Million" the Uni
ted Brethren church has promptly In
augurated what they call "A New En-
listment,i the object of which is to
meet squarely the days of reconstruc.
ton, doing what the church ought to
do to meet the needs Of these trying
days.
THAT church has already literally
raised millions of dollars for educa.
tional purposes and has plans for ad.
vancement along practically all lines.
Just now that church has started a
campaign, in the West Virginia con-
| ference, for an endowment of one hun
dred thousand dollars to be known as
a Preachers Aid Fund This money
sto be kept sacred and only the in.
terest is to be used in the pensioning
Of old and worn out ministers and
their dependent ones.
1.-THE cause is SO worthy and the
needs so urgent that 1t is believed they
will experience little difficulty in put
ting their splendid program across.
Many churches have been facing a
grave situation relative to their minis.
terial supply. Many pulpits are va
cant and fewer ministers are available
than few years ago. One reason as
signed for young men not entering the
] AtthtSbAy Va buA hlhb away lEOIu II 10
other honorable walks of life, is that
the churches have SO far failed to paw
sufficient salary to enable pastor to
lay aside anything for old age or to
provide an old age pension.
ITO correct this evil many churches
| have set about raising funds aggre.
| eating many millions as sacred endow.
ment to meet the needs as stated
above.
we predict for our United Breth-
rem friends the success their great un-
! dertaking merits.
1.-THE educational part of their pro-
gram is now on. A few Sundays ago
the ministers of the East district ex.
changed pulpits each presenting the
matter from his viewpoint. Next Sun.
day is to be Laymans Day and lay
men are to speak from every pulpit
Soliciting is to begin June the 18th
and close July 18th Much enthu-
siasm has already been created and
the campaign will be watched with
much interest"

guished men in addition to the above
mentioned is expected.
1t might seem unnecessary at this
day when William and Mary has been
adding to her distinguished roster Of
Phi Beta Kappa for twenty-five years
to say anything about this old society.
but we might add that IL was revived
here in 1922 and Is now considered one
of the strongest chapters of the So
ciety Election to an honorary mem
barship in Ss society Is regarded by
eistinruish' men as another dstin'
guished honor and some Of the men
elected and initiated from year to year
have already other honorary degrees
from other institutions Of learning.
One great object of this society OF
william and Mary is to honor men
who may not have had a college edu-
cation in their young days CT taken
any advanced academic degrees, but
who in quite recent years BY their ma
tive ability and character have dstin-
guished themselves in such IA way that
they should have academic recognition.
Such men are found on Thi Beta Kappa
and il makes them love the college be-
cause she found them out
