Buffalo, N. Y, June 26.-Provision for a retiring pension for Baptist pas tors was outlined in a report of the ministers and missionaries benefit board submitted at the 18th annual session of the northern Baptist con- vention here.
 The plan provided for a retiring pension after 35 years of service. The amount of the pension is half the average annual salary received dur ing that period. Baptist pastors mis- sionaries or other ordained Baptist ministers engaged in specific denon- national work approved by the board are eligible. The actual cost will be $60 for each S1,000 of salary received bv the minister. This cost, the re- port recommends, should be provide| by the church which the eligible al plicant served on retiring. A portt of the income of the boards funds will be applied toward a reduction of this cost, but these contributions will npt exceed 90 per cent. of the QMW rlal cost. ,'TN~-forms aR-(AHs are ou1 single pension .ro-1afslI

HIGH CLASS MUSICAL AT
DREAMLANB MARCH 81

Notable successes In Europe were
achieved by the Serbian Tamburica
Orchestra before it's members, then
playing at the Paris Exposition, we're
prevailed upon to tour America.
Since they first came to the New
World these young Serbians have
everywhere been met with enthu-
sastoc receptions. Throughout
Eastern, Southern and Middle West
ern States their concerts have been
acclaimed as musical features Of rare
beauty. unsual interest and wide
diversity Their unusually strong
impression on American audiences
has resulted largely from three big
factors:
G) The remarkable adaptability
Of the Slavs themselves and their
peculiar instruments TO American
music.
t2) The growing popularity oi
the Tamburica among string instru.
ments because Of the volume and the
beauty OF lts tone.
(3) The exempllncation Of Ser.
bian music and customs at time
when the interest aud sympathy OF
the world Is centred on the little
Balkan nation.
