PRESBYTERIANS
GET REPORT ON
PENSION SYSTEM

Columbus. May 23.-(A. PD-Dr.
Henry B. Master, of Philadelphia.
Pa, general secretary Of the Presby-
terian Board of Ministerial Relief
and Sustentation which administers
the official pension system of the
denomination, this morning made his
annual report to the Presbyterian
General Assembly in session at
Franklin County Memorial Hall. His
report was in part as follows:
"Once again, with profound graft
tude. the board is able to report that
the past year has been the best in its
history. Never before has it been
our privilege to disburse so much
money in the form of pensions paid
the aged and disabled servants of
the Cross, their widows and minor
orphan children. Almost three quar-
ters of million dollars, to be exact,
$725 900, were distributed during the
fiscal year, 1924-25. This was a not
able advance over anything ever be-
fore achieved. The increase in money
represents q little less penury and
want in some homes and the salts
faction of certain pressing needs in
others. Nevertheless, we are COM
PEELED to record that more than 1000
widows on our rolls received on the
average only $245.S5, and more than
400 ministers who were entitled to a
pension of $500 had to struggle along
with an average Of only $373.06."

TRIBUTE PAID
TO PRIEST AT
MORNING MASS
Former Bismarck Pastor OBJ
serves Anniversary Of
Priesthood Today

Gerry Rev. Clement Dimpfl o. S. e.,
former pastor of st. Marys parish in
Bismarck, and now pastor at Mandan,
is celebrating the thirty-fourth an
niversary of his priesthood today.
This morning the st. Joseph parish
in Mandan observed the anniversary
at o'clock Mass, during which two
choirs. the children's Choristers and
the St. Joseph choir sang. The Mass
was read by Father Dimpfl and the
music was under the direction of
Sister Edmund.
Father Dimpfl was ordained in
1891 and assisted in Duluth, Mimi.
during July and August Of that year.
In September, 1891 he was moved to
Richmond, Mimi, from where, as his
residence, he served Logering and
Farming until February, 1894. From
there he went to Minneapolis as as
sistant at St. Joseph parish until
May 19, 1896. Father Dimpfl then
came to Bismarck. The Capital City
remembers him for building St.
Marys church in 1898 which was ded-
icated by Bishop Stanley on Sept. 25.
of that year. After splendid work in
Bismarck until 1910 he moved to
Mandan upon the death of Father
Collins. At MaHdan he built the par
ochial school, which now has an en-
rollment Of 400 children. On June
4, 1924, Father Dimpfl succeeded in
having St. Joseph's church Of Man
dan consecrated by Bishop Wehrle.
Father Dimpfl has gained renown
throughout the Missouri Slope. In
the days of the early COS he was
prominent figure in his "praire
schooner" bringing peace and pros
perity to hearts along the Missouri
Slope. He has won the hearts of
his people; his friends are without
number. He is a Slope booster of
the first order and firmly believes
there is no place like the pltce
"Where the West Begins" Father
Dimpfl is prominent in every civic
celebration, as we'll as in the spirit
ual welfare Of the people. Old and
young, especially the little tots, will
remember Father Dimpfl for many
years to come. The success Of his
labors may perhaps be best summar-
lied in the title of "the grand old
man of the Prairies."
