A REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE RULES OF PROCEDURE. The assistance given to the Committee by Mr. Kilpin has been great in point of time and labour and invaluable in guidance. “ Resolution of Provincial Synod, 1929.— ‘ That * F rancis R . C a p e t o w n , the Bishop of Grahamstown, The Dean of Capetown (S. W . Lavis), The Archdeacon of the Cape (CL J. Chairman. Hotrarth), Chancellors Stallard and Currey, and Canon Hanley be a committee to revise and re -d raft the Rules of’ Procedure, and to report to the nex B . EXPLANATORY NOTES. session.’ ” The Committee met at the close of the 1929 SeWion and appointed the Bishop of Grahamstown to be Chair Title— “ Standing R ides.” man and Canon Hanley to be Secretary. Replaces the old title “ Rules of Order.” “ Order ” (Since the original meeting the Bishop of Grahams- is omitted because of the ambiguity attending its use. It t i n has become Archbishop of Capetown Dean may be used of the order of proceedings, or order in debate, Lavis, Coadjutor Bishop of Capetown, and the or an order of the day. As in practice the sense in which Archdeacon of the Cape has removed to England.) it is used is not alw ays clear, it is liable to lead to confusion of ideas involving explanation and delay. The existing rules were submitted to Mr. Balph Kilpin Clerk-Assistant of the House of Assembly, who made in December of that year a recension of the rules 1 (3)— Suspension of a Rule. W a report upon them. The recension and report A re-draft of Rule 03 which expressed the opposite to have" formed the basis on which the subsequent wor what was no doubt intended. of the Committee has revolved. Copies of the new draft were sent to the members f dm Committee for examination and suggestion. 2— Standing Rules of the H ouse of Assem bly — old Rule 95. Critical h e ^ s given by the Clerical Secretaries of the This revision is based on the principle of conformity to Svnod Chancellor Wyche and the Rev. Charles Could the Rules of the House of Assembly. They are the recog Sector’ of Cradock.

The circumstances & T t 4 “ Bishop Lavis was present at the first of the Synod call for certain modifications of Parliamentary meeting the Archbishop and Canon Hartley, together procedure— e.g., Rule 30 (3)— and wherever such modifica with Mr. Kilpin, at all the meetings. 1 he draft then tions have appeared imperative they have been made. One strong plea has been made for following the use of Convoca- 23 tion, but it has seemed better to keep to the familiar track and in case of need to refer to the nearer authority rather than the more remote. 3— Chairm an of Com m ittees — old Rule, Chairman of Com mittee. The plural use is adopted consequent on recognition of the principle that each Committee of the Whole Synod is a. separate entity, erected for a specific purpose and termi nated when that purpose is accomplished. Unlike the Synod, Committee of the whole Synod has not a continuous life. 8— Advisory Com m ittee. By resolution of Synod, 1924 (Constitution and Canons 1929, p. 129) an A dvisory Committee w as appointed to exer cise the functions (a) and (b) of Rule 8. The constitution of the Committee has been left in the hands of the Arch bishop and further functions (c), (d), (e) have been committed to it. These additional duties are meant to expedite the current business of the Synod and to implement the canoni cal order (Canon I., 10) on the conclusion of the session. It appears advisable for one statutory body to have charge of these related matters. 10— O rder of Proceedings. Slight alterations have been made. The presentation of Petitions has been given precedence of other business, on the ancient constitutional doctrine which affords oppor tunities for the expression and redress .of grievances. The presentation of Reports has been grouped in appropriate sequence. Consideration of Bills (10, 10) has been given due precedence over Motions. This Order of Proceedings forms the basis for the classification and arrangement of the Standing Rules. 16— Petitions arid M em orials. W hen Memorials conclude with a prayer they are known as petitions. As all petitions and memorials to the Synod must under this rule conclude with a prayer, the w'ord “ memorial ” has been omitted. 20— R e p o r t s . A s it is the D U 1A of Committees to present reports, no leave is necessary. This requirement (old Rule 64) has therefore been dispensed with. 34— Adjournm ent of D ebate. This is a normal motion anticipating the resumption of the debate at some later time. It must not be confused 24 with “ Adjournm ent of the Synod,” which if moved and ■carried during debate means that the whole question falls 24*37— M otions and Am endm ents. aw ay . This section has been rearranged and clarified. Motions similar in type have been grouped together, and procedure in 36— C l o s u r e . amendment has been brought into more logical conformity This new rule offers a simpler method than that of old with the practice of the Synod. Various points in this Rule 54, of bringing to an end an unprofitable debate, or process are indicated below. at least of testing the opinion of the Synod upon its con tinuance. 24— Unopposed M otion. 39— Leave to Introduce. The so-called “ unopposed motion ” does not mean that The motion for leave to introduce is important since it the motion may not be discussed, but only that there is no gives the Synod the opportunity of defining the limits of the opposition to its being moved without notice.

This section is omitted because it is doubtful if the Synod has any “ privileges,” and the questions of privilege contemplated in the section are “ abuse of these rules.” Such questions can be dealt udth as questions of 11 Order.” 89— D ate of next Session. . This rule, though not affecting the course of business,, is added as specifying custom. ( f t * The Committee has altered the original drafting as little as possible. It has been borne in mind that all fundamental Rules are based on common sense and must be adapted from time to time to meet unforeseen circumstances.

The S.A. Association allow interest at l|-% per annum on uninvested balances. In accordance with the wish expressed at the last Synod the Trustees have increased their holding of Stocks as- opportunities have presented themselves. (b) Charges: The charges paid to the S.A. Association are as follows; For Investment of Capital...... 1 per cent. hor Collection of Mortgage Interest 2J per cent. Other Interest ...... 1J per cent. 82 (c) Audit: The accounts are subject to annual audit by Messrs. J. E. P. Close & Company, Chartered Accountants (S.A.). (d) Capital Protecting Fund: This stood at £,9,558 4s. 9d. on 31st Decem ber, 1934. (e) Interest Reserve Fund : This stood at £ 2,240 Os. 4d. on 31st Decem ber, 1934. 4. Investments: Since the last Synod in 1929, Trustees, in common with all other investing bodies, have passed through a period of considerable anxiety, owing to the effects of the world depression on financial conditions generally. 13 They have given the closest possible attention to the funds for which they have been responsible and are able to report that, owing largely to the experience and care exer cised by their Investment Committees, the calls made upon the Capital Protecting Fund to make good capital deficiencies during the last 10 years, have been offset by profits upon realisation of property taken over. The nett profits from this source have amounted to £807 15s. Where the security for Mortgage Bonds consists of farm properties, detailed examination of securities has been made from time to time, and the Trustees desire to express to those of their members who have had exceptional oppor tunities for obtaining information about these, their most sincere thanks for their valuable assistance. The fact remains, however, that the Trustees had to face two serious reductions in interest revenue during the year 1933. Their holding of £ 53,990 in 1929-1939 U nion Stock was converted at par from a 5 per cent, to a 3f per cent, holding, 1948-58. Owing to the large amount of capital involved it was thought better to accept the offer of conversion than to run a risk of having this capital un invested for an uncertain period. In addition to this, the interest on all bona fide farm mortgages was reduced as from 1st A pril, 1933, to five per cent, per annum. All those concerned were therefore notified that, in common with other bodies charged with the administration of Trust Funds, the Board would find it impossible to main tain the interest at rates hitherto paid. In spite, however, of these reductions and the difficulty of finding investments, Trustees have been able to distribute interest at the follow ing nett rates since the last Synod :— 1929— 5i% 1930— 5% 1931— 4$% 1932— 4f% 1933— 4$%. Average for five years— 4$%. At the time of preparing this Report it is not possible to say what the yield for 1934 will be. The Trustees are assuming a revenue of 4 per cent., and have made a dis tribution accordingly. 5. Investment Committee: All investments made on behalf of the Trustees are first submitted by the South African Association to an Invest ment Committee, who report on the security offered at the next meeting of the Board, with whom rests the final accept ance. The present Committee consists of the Hon. H. L. 14 Currey, Mr. Ivan Silberbauer and Mr. G. F. W . Batho, of whose responsible services the Trustees desire to place their appreciation on record. 6. Legacies and Gifts : The following legacies and gifts have been received since the last Synod. ( N o t e )— The sum of £50 included in the amount of £650 recorded as being received from the Estate of Bishop Holbech, represents the sum given by Archbishop Phelps for the Silver Pectoral Cross, set with diamonds, engraved “ Du Toit’s Pan ” with the date. This cross, which was presented to Bishop Holbech when he left Kimberley now becomes an heirloom of the Diocese of Cape Town through the Archbishop’s generous action. 84 For Account of. A m o u n t.

Colonial Bishoprics Fund: An application was made by the Trustees of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund, and heard by Mr. Justice Luxmoore in the High -ourt of Justice, Chancery Division, England in fulv 1934, when the Court ordered by way of Scheme c y p r L that pr° PCrty ° f the Fund - have been allo cated to the Bishopric of Cape Town and are now or may hereafter be in the hands or under the control of the Trustees fnrth^ FU!ld m EnS^and] ’ be held bv them until 4 t1h£ order “?on t£ust to PTV the income thereof to the Archtushop) of Cape Town for the time being of the Church 17 bishop of Canterbury for the time being shall certify bv writing under his hand sent to His Majesty’s Attorney- w ftlfrt. tH .hereToh" es,a“ dsbeen “ aPPea' ag‘"nSt 'h“ ° r Certain Officials of the Church of the Province of South fnca and the Colonial Bishoprics Fund are joint defendants in an action being brought in the Supreme Court at Cape Town by certain persons connected with the Churches of 5S?n'Trw y i CapC °Wn' S t Fteter’s- Mowbray, and St. , when the Court will be asked by the lattu for an order amending the Title Deed of the property known as Bishops Court,” and for orders appointing Trustees to hold and administer this property as well as property UrCh FUndS ln terms ° f the T ru st governing such This property and the Funds mentioned represent the -md th \ End°WmCnt °f the Bish!)Pric of Cape Town, and the action is designed to take this property and the funds out of the hands of the Church of the Province. 8 . Legal Expenses Advance Account: 1 hese actions have involved the Province in heavy legal charges. Ihe costs of the English action are a charge hrn V t6 PKrtl°n ^ TrUSt ^ 9’65°) held in England, but ,t has been necessary to make local provision for the costs of the South African Actions. This has been done by withdrawing £ 5,000 from capital and providing for its reinstatement over a period of 25 years with interest at 5 per cent, per annum. The Bishops of the I ro\ince have agreed to apply the interest of the Pro vincial Endowment Fund, so far as allowed bv the Trust Deed of that bund, in relief of this amount, and the balance i equired is being found by the various Dioceses in propor- P rn vW -lT t aSiPartvx°u thCir assessments for the Common • ovinclal E und- 'kV hen the arrangem ents w-ere completed m July, 193z, the repayment required W'as as fo llo w s:— lotal annuity required for repayment of £ 5,000 as above ...... ”...... £354 15 10 Less available annual interest at 4f% on the Provincial Endowment Fund 237 10 0 Annual balance to be found by the Common Provincial Fund as above £117 5 10 1 8 8 8 Since this arrangement was made the rate of interest has fallen and further costs have had to be met and will be incurred It will therefore be necessary to adjust the figures to the changed position, but against the additional amount involved it will be noted that the rate of repayment interest was calculated at 5 per cent., whereas under present condi tions this might now be reduced to 4 per cent. The Trustees acknowledge with many thanks private contributions towards these expenses which have enabled them to meet incidental charges without undue interference with the arrangements for repayment of the main expenses. 9. Bishopscourt Estate: the secretary reported to a meeting of Trustees on 11th N ovem ber, 1932, that an amount of £ 1,500 was required in order to meet existing liabilities of the Estate, including a bank overdraft of £ 500, and an amount of £225 advanced r i nnn Archblsll0P- had been necessary to spend nearly £ 1,000 on the Estate before the Archbishop could take occupation, for such necessities as electric light, waterleading and fencing. 6 Since then the Estate has been worked with a resident Overseer under the management of the Provincial Secretary Ihe accounts are subject to annual audit. In addition m> Bishopscourt and the Overseer’s cottage there are 25 cottages occupied by tenants and employees. W h ile the Estate is now paying its w ay , it has not been possible to reduce the liabilities referred to above and in the event of a sale these would constitute a first charge upon the proceeds. The legal and general financial position of the Bishops- court property was explained bv the Secretary to a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund held in Lon don on l'2th June, 1934. 10. M anifold F a r m : In common with all similar properties throughout the Union this property has suffered from drought, locusts and ot er difficulties which have beset the farming- community. These disabilities have meant great anxiety and hard work for the Manager of the farm, Mr. C. H. Every, in whom the Trustees have the greatest confidence, but they have not allowed any development of the scheme for the special purpose for which it was generously given by the late Colonel 19 J. F. Manifold, and it has not been possible to place any more boys on the farm as apprentices. i / he Manager has worked the farm with varying fortune and the Trustees have allowed the account to be overdrawn irom time to time in order to avoid embarrassment. Interest on these temporary overdrafts will be recovered as soon as times improve and money is available. In the meantime the objects of the farm as an Institu- ion for training poor boys as farm managers are not lost sight of, and although the Trustees were not able to confirm the arrangement recently made by the Secretary in England o receive boys from England in accordance with the original intention of the I rust Deed, they resolved at their meeting on oth November, 1934, that “ the time has arrived for the J/U5 ee® to ™ake ev?T endeavour to carry out the terms °* “ t ,st hy getting at least two boys from England, and that the Manager be asked to state how soon in his opinion it will be possible to do this.” , J"he Manager’s reply will be put before the meeting of the t rustees which will be held immediately before the Synod which receives this Report. , m T eJ i?n0r,0f the Pr°Perty. Colonel John Foster Mani- fold, C.M.G., has died since the last Synod and in terms of his will an amount of £539 6s. 8d. has been received for he provision of small loans to apprentices who start farm ing on their own account or for any similar purpose. 11. General: W hile the main business of the Board has been the care of existing, and the discovery of new investments for the always increasing funds entrusted to them, they have dealt with a number of other matters arising from their duties, these are recorded in the Minute Book which will be avail able for reference during the discussion of this Report.

Supplem ent to " The Church Chronicle ” o f 18/ 10/34 1934 The Church of the Province of South Africa NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PROVINCIAL PENSIONS BOARD A dm inistering the P rovincial C lergy Pensions Fund (Canon X L .) and the P rovincial Fund fo r the W idows and O rphans of the C lergy (Canon X L I.).

Acting under the provisions of Clause 5 of Canon XL., the Board have asked Archdeacon Urquhart to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Bishop of Damaraland. GENERAL. 1. {a) Funds under A dm inistration. It will be seen from the attached accounts that the funds under administration are as follows :— Provincial Clergy Pensions Fund as at 31st March, 1934 ...... £101,010 4 4 Provincial Fund for the Widows and Orphans of the Clergy as at 30th April, 1934 ...... 53,854 16 5 £154,865 0 9 (b) Interest, etc. Interest at the rate of 4| per cent, per annum has been earned by the Board of Provincial Trustees on investments held by them for account of the funds administered by the Pensions Board, excepting only £600 3| per cent. Cape Town Municipal Stock, which is written down in the Pensions Fund Accounts (Canon XL.) to £525 in order to produce 4 per cent, per annum. The amount administered for the Widows and Orphans Fund includes a sum of £386 5s. Od. for arrear contributions, against a similar item last year of £329 9s. 2d. (c) A u d i t . In their Report the Auditors say :— . " The full effect of present day interest rates was not felt during the past year. The Provincial Trustees were able to pay 4J>- per cent, upon the funds lodged for investment, as compared with 4% per cent, in the previous year. A lower return must be expected in the future, for it is very difficult to find a suitable outlet for new money and also for investments repaid. “ The Board has acquired Union Loan Certificates of the face value of £2,500. for each Fund (£5,000 in all,)which mature on 5th September, 1943, for £7,500. The increments have been apportioned so as to reflect the interest earned at 5 per cent, throughout the period. “ Pensioners of the Funds are fortunate in being able to receive pensions without the reduction which they would have had to suffer if they had personally invested savings.” (d) V aluation. Both Funds are being valued by the Actuary, whose reports will be presented to the forthcoming Synod. (e) Am endm ent of Canons X L and X L I. As the result of experience in administration, the Board will ask the forthcoming Provincial Synod to effect a number of alterations and additions to the Canons, which, if adopted, will add to their usefulness 2. A ppealfo r Supplem entary Funds. The Members of the Board have to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of the following amounts from parishes, missions and individual donors :— £ s. d. £ s. d. 2 The Rev. C. O.

Attention is drawn again to the fact that an average of £2 per parish or mission throughout the Province would give an additional income of £1,000 per annum, and that every parish and mission in the Province is asked to contribute an annual amount to the Supplementary Funds. PROVINCIAL CLERGY PENSIONS FUND—CANON XL. 3. A c c o u n t s . The Annual Revenue Account and Balance Sheet, duly audited, are published herewith, and show the amount of the Fund on the 31st M arch, 1934, to be £ 101,010 4s. 4d., against a total of £96,452 2s. 2d, last year. 4. D iocesan C ontributions. The number of Clergymen for whom contributions were paid in 1916 (the first year) was : European 382, and Non-European 79, total 461 ; and the corresponding numbers for 1934 are : European 370, and N on -E urop ean 161, total 531. 5.

In terms of the agreements entered into with the Church of England Pensions Board, an amount of £ 1,822 3s. Od. has been remitted to England during the last financial year for account of 24 Clergy who have left the Province, and an amount of £395 15s. lid. has been received from England for account of 21 Clergy who have come into the Province, and who were under the age of 50 at the time of their licence to a position for which they7 are drawing stipend in terms of Clause 14 of Canon XL. 7. C lergy proceeding to England who attained the age of 55 b e f o r e Is/ of Janu ary, 1927. As reported last year, a Supplementary Agreement concluded with the Church of England Pensions Board enables Clergy leaving for England on or after 1st January, 1933, who attained the age of 55 before 1st January, 1927 (and who for that reason had hitherto been barred from transfer to England under the original agreement), to have the contributions made on their behalf in South Africa transferred to the Church of England Pensions Board with benefit under the special regulations provided thereanent. Such Clergyman must take up an office of the nett annual value of £100 within the area to which the English Measures of 1926 and 1928 apply. PROVINCIAL FUND FOR THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF THE CLERGY—CANON XLI. 8. A c c o u n t s . The Annual Revenue Accounts and Balance Sheet, duly audited, are published herewith. They show the amount of the Fund on the 30th A pril, 1934, to be £53,854 16s. 5d., against £50,563 Is. 3d. last year. 9. The A uditors report as follow s : “ W e have completed the audit of the Contributory Fund for the year ended 30th A pril, 1934, and have given our certificate to the Balance Sheet at that date, in terms of Canon X L I. “ W e would report upon the results for the past year in the following terms :— “ The increase in the Fund is £3,291 15s. 2d . ; this is some £124 more than in the previous year. A comparison of the Revenue and Expenditure for the two years is given, so that the reasons for such increase may clearly be seen. 1933. 1934.

Refunds have decreased substantially, and this accounts for the greater increase in the Fund this year.” 10. N um ber o f A ssociates. The number of contributing Clergy is as follows : £6 per annum, 294 ; under £6 per annum, 129 ; over £6 per annum, 24 ; total, 447. (Last year, 455.) Completed forms, Associate and Medical, are awaited from a number of Clergy in the Province. It is most important that the Secretary should be informed of the arrival of new Clergy at the earliest possible date, in order that he may advise them of the requirements of the Fund as set forth in the Canon. 11. P e n s i o n s . The number of pensions being paid is 68 (Europeans 31, Non-Europeans 37). The total amount paid out in pensions during the year under review was £904 Is. 4d. The amounts of the pensions vary in terms of the tables attached to the Canon, and the largest pension being paid is one of £74 7s. 4d. per annum. FRANCIS R. CAPETOWN, C h a i r m a n . W. E.
