Smith presided. Rev. NJ. II. Ehnes, d.
D., treasurer of the Board of Foreign
Missions, and Rev. +. w Mueller, ID.
D., representing the Home Missions
and Church Extension, were the
speakers.
DR.. Ehnes first drew picture of the
hardships through which the first mis-
sionaries were forced to pass in car
rying the gospel to India, China and
other foreign countries. He told of
the first missionaries to visit these
countries and then by stages carried
his hearers to the present day.
DR.. Ehnes declared that this is the
most promising period of foreign mis-
sionary work for the church in all
countries. He expressed his sorrow
that at this time orders should have
gone out to cut the appropriation from
so to so per cent, and showed by act
ual instances how such a cut is min
imizing the work of the missionaries
and is destroying the results of years
of effort.
DR.. Mueller stated that he fully be,
lieved in the necessity of missionary
work, but pointed out that domestic
work must be given its full measure Of
consideration. He declared that there
are many unfinished undertaking!

Endowment Fund
Pastors Pension

Frank II. Hall. financial secretary,
gave a report of thetendoWment fund
conference year 1924-2;E, The report
includes the activities, receipts, sug-
gested plans. 1t was suggested that
information be gotten frcm other
conferences about the endowment
fund and this was done. The plans
were similar to those used in Maine:
the field worker was used: drives
were launched. money obtained
through annuity, wills. Mr.. Hall
made public presentation of the
work in various churches but made
no appeal at that time, calling upon
people personally. In some instances
that pastor took occasion to task for
the fund in public. Pledges over
three year period were accepted,
wills, annuity bonds.
There are now in the books in
what is considered good pledges. So
390.5O. A number of wills have been
made in favor of the endowment
fund. There have been other APP
peals for money, for instance Boston
University. Centenary, Bucksport,
Wesleyan Foundation, Kent's Hill.
Boston Hospital as well as the Near
East, Red Cross. Lords Day League
and Civic League.
At this point a long discussion en-
sued upon the proposed plan as
submitted by DR.. Hingeley, secre-
tary of the board of pensions and
relief and Bishop Nicholson was
asked to name the committee to act
upon the matter, which he did.
The plan as outlined, would be of
such nature as to tide over the
time of the ending of the present
general conference plan and the talk
ing up of a new plan which will

always been interested in the wUm-

clared that the increase in the

IN the last quadrennium was So
