 MINISTRIES tPENSIoM PIAN

T be!Nive new day is daRping in the whole cdurcn in its attitude toward the support of it's ministers, both in the mat ter of better salaries and protection from want because of old age or disability. through 8 pension system" was the state ment of Rev. Peter c. Wright, D. D., as sociate secretary of the Ministers a d Missionaries Boatd of the Northern Bap- tist Convention Monday morning at Kins- ley Hall in Beston. Dr. Wright preached here at the Veltral Baptist church Sun day where he was formerly pastor.
 pr. Wright explained that the work of the Ministers and Missionaries Board has three phsses-the beneficiary, under which it is now aiding more than 800 persons and has increased its expenditures be- tween {15,e0s and s2e,oee the past year the special pension grant to ministers past the age of sixty-fve who are net eligible to the regular pension and the straight-pension plan recently completed
 This plan ia built on the basis of tbir- ty-five years of service in the Baptis1 ministry, and it is, the speaker took pains to explain, a pension and not iR- surance. Neither is t charity but thS payment of a just obligation. A minis ter who joins in the pension plan ane serves thirty-fiye years in the. ministry
 will at the age of sixty-Aye, receive ar annual pension equal 10 ene-half of hii yearly salary during the thiry-fiye year; of his service and membership. The frs year minister joins in the plan he mus pay six per cent. of his salary to th, fund.- and slightly reduced amounts tn, next two years while after the third veal he. pays only six dollars g year regard less of salary. this reduction being mad possible by. the estimated income of th | principal of the fund. A similar plan i | worked out for the man who joins at later age and serves only twenty, or eyel | fewer years, before reaching the age 9 1 sixty-fiye as for example, the rniniste who joins the plan at the age of forty 1 five and. therefore, serves only twent years before reaching the age of sixty ] five. pays into the fund s294 during tn entire time and at sixty-fye receives a
 annual income of s2s5 for the rest of hi | life.
 The pension fund TOW amounts t about ss,o0e. 600 and has g little oyer 10
 members. The plan calls for about s2
 0eo.e0o more to put the system in com l plete and permanent operation, as est mated and outlined by the aetuaries an | the board of organization.
