, ' Tlan la Froposad.
I ; rA Joint committee of the general
I convention has studied the question for
I three years and has proposed as a so
! luUon "That when a parish pays Its

I small added sum to a central fund,

1 1 not harrussnd by the dread that his

I - The plan provides a minimum of
I $600 a year available to ministers of
the church who are diMabled or who
retire at the iikg of 68. The ministers'
pension will be e-i'ial to one-half his
avefage alary during his active serv
