Smith of Indianapolis, rep resenting the Disciples of Christ, told the annual conference of interdenom inational secretaries of ministerial relief of Protestant churches here Thursday. "Time must be taken to educate the church as to the justice and strategy of the care of her workers," he as serted in discussing ministerial pen sions.

"The preachers must learn to speak out not for themselves, as they mis takenly think, but for their com rades in service whose work is done. The preacher while protecting him self, in his modesty, from foolish criticism, denies the only voice that can be raised en behalf of godly men and, WOmen who have soent their all In the ministry.'
