That we look upon legalized gambling at the racetracks of the State as Kentucky's outstanding disgrace. 3. That we take pleasure in renewing our promise of moral and financial support to the Kentucky Anti-Race Track Gambling Commission, and bid them not to cease their efforts till the statute legalizing this nuisance is repealed. 4. That we see in the purchase of certain outstanding State newspapers by stockholders and directors of the Kentucky Jockey Club, and the making of them to function in the interests of this giant evil, together with the new racing organization financed by the Kentucky Jockey Club, that has put an organiza tion in the field to counteract the influence of the Anti-Race Track Gambling Commission, an evidence of the unmistakable progress of the work of the Commission. 5. That we insistently urge our people to do all in their power to see that only senators and representatives pledged to the outlawing of the evil are elected. 3 34 Kentucky Conference [1924
6. That since, the racing and gambling element, that are bent on perpetuating their evil, have unlimited funds, that we bespeak for the representatives of the Anti-Gambling Commis sion entrance to our pulpits, and a sympathetic hearing and worthwhile response upon the part of our people, that funds for legitimately fighting this curse may be had. 7.

THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY
The American Bible Society has as its object the placing of Scriptures, or portion in the hands of every one; in his or her language�without note or comment. During the past year over seven million copies have been issued. In the one hundred and eight (108) years of the society's existence more than 158,000,000 Scriptures and portions have been published. The most recent translation work has been for the North American Indians and a Latin-American Testament. Colporteurs have been very active, especially through Latin-American lands. Two consecrated Mexican colporteurs paid the supreme price for their devotion at the hands of a fanatical mob. The society suffered a great loss in the Japanese earthquake in the destruction of valuable plates. These are being rapidly reproduced. We commend the noble work of the American Bible Society to the Methodists of Kentucky, and urge their continued and increased support. G. N. Jolly, W. B. Archer, W. C. Stewart.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
An educational program for our Conference was mapped out with more or less definiteness nine years ago under the leadership of Dr. Thomas Nichol son, then secretary of the Board of Education of our church, now Bishop Nicholson, which led to a unification of our interests and efforts for an educa tional institution of standard and permanent service. As time goes on the program has been modified in all necessary details to do the service within our reach. Union College has grown in these nine years from a primary school of eight grades and an academy with less than forty students into a full four-year college, a standard Normal School, and a large academy, with an enrollment, all told, of three hundred students. Seventy-five of the students of last year are teaching this year. This growth has been made possible by two sources of income and inspira tion. Our Board of Education at New York, which now goes to Chicago, has given continual and increasing financial aid, and their experts have been had in council on all important parts of the program. Then our Conference has given excellent moral support and put over the endowment campaign which was thought by many to be impossible. The college is endeavoring with all its might to create and maintain the kind of Christian program along with its academic program that it believes this Conference wants and which the world is in need of. Therefore be it resolved, First: That we, the Kentucky Annual Confer ence, express our deep gratitude to the Board of Education of our church for the assistance which it has rendered in both council and finance, and that we request most earnestly its continued cooperation. Second: That we express our gratitude and extend our congratulations to our people and constituents for their subscriptions to the endowment fund, which, if collected in full, will enable the college to hold to the program laid 41 42 Kentucky Conference [1924
out for it for the next few years, but if it should not be paid the college will sufifer in its program and fall short in the service we all expect it to render. institutions Third: That we express our gratitude for the other Christian within the borders of our Conference that are contributing to the building of the kingdom of God. We are happy as a Conference to be a coaling station along the way between college and other Conferences at home and abroad. This may be one of the greatest services that we can render to others. their Fourth: That we call upon our people as far as possible to send children to those institutions of learning where the social, moral, and religious program is in keeping with the ideals, teachings, and hopes of the best things in our great church. E. T. Franklin, Edward P. Hall, F. H. Larabee, E. R. Overley, John Lowe Fort, W. W. Shepherd.
BOOK CONCERN ACCOUNTS
We find that the manner in which the brethren are handling their Book Concern Account is highly satisfactory. Mr. Winstell, the Book Concern representative, expresses himself as being highly pleased. W. H. Morris, A. S. Godbey.
BOOKS AND PERIODICALS
Nothing is more effective than the written word to carry forward the work of the great Methodist Church. We therefore, urge all our pastors to use their influence to advance the sale of our books and periodicals. We rejoice in the fact that the list of subscriptions to our own Christian Advocate is growing rapidly. We most heartily recommend to all our people the product of our own Methodist Book Concern. We believe the Christian Advocate is the best assistant any pastor can have; any family taking the Advocate for any period of time almost always becomes loyal to the interests of the church. We recommend that our Official Boards provide some way whereby they can send the Christian Advocate to disinterested families for at least one year. The Bible, the Discipline, and Hymnal should be placed in every Meth odist home. We must be loyal to our own families. We need not be disloyal to others. J. T. Martin, W. S. Peters.
DISTRICT CONFERENCE RECORDS
We, your Committee on District Conference Records, find by inquiry, that only one District Conference was held, and that on the Ashland District, and that the secretary of the District Conference failed to bring the records of the Conference to the seat of the Annual Conference. L. F. Payne, G. A. Parsons.
FOREIGN MISSIONS
We are willingly and heartily committed to the "divine enterprise of missions." The world empire of King Emmanuel is still in the making, it is giving increased promise of certain accomplishments. The open door for the church, in the foreign as well as the home field, and the appeal from every field calls the home church to redouble its energy that it may more fully obey the Master's command, "Go ye into all the world." We urge the pastors to give more diligent attention to the diffusion of missionary information by preaching on the subject, the organization of 1924] Methodist Episcopal Church 43
mission, study classes in the Epworth League, and the use of missionary pro grams in the Sunday schools; for unless we raise amount asked for by our Board, many of our missionaries will have to be called from the field; others be refused the opportunity of going, and the "Kingdom's" work greatly retarded. Brethren, what are we going to do? Let us again commit ourselves to the askings of the church and pledge through loyal endeavor to collect every dollar that is asked for, and more of them if possible. Our achievements for the past few years have been most wonderful, and no doubt very gratifying to the missionaries and surely pleasing to Jesus Christ. And we know a greater blessing awaits our beloved church when all people called Methodists bring all their tithe into God's store house. Your committee on Foreign Missions presents the following recommenda tion: L Whereas, There is a great deficit upon us and still increasing, which must be met somehow between now and October 31, we urge upon every pastor of the Kentucky Conference to do his utmost to bring up his share of this, and report same to headquarters by time allotted. The blessing of almighty God be upon us in our undertaking. Move its adoption. Charles Mitchell, W. H. Davenport, Thos. B. Ashley.
REPORT OF COMMISSION ON FINANCE
Your committee to investigate and report relative to the alternative plan for the support of the District Superintendents, Retired Ministers and the Episcopal Fund by the creation of a Conference Commission on Finance, after giving the matter as thorough consideration and study as the time or the Conference permits, and after consultation with Bishop Henderson, beg leave to recommend as follows: 1. Because of the limited time at our disposal to formulate effective plans for the carrying out of the so-called alternative plan and because of the desire of Bishop Henderson to study our entire financial situation with a view of assisting as to care for these important matters, we postpone consideration of the plan until the next Annual Conference. 2. That the committee be continued with instruction in cooperation with Bishop Henderson to bring a plan of the proposed kind for consideration and final action at the Conference session of 1925. 3. That the District Superintendents be urgently asked and, if it be in the power of the Conference, instructed to call the attention of every quarterly Conference and every congregation at the first opportunity to the provision of the Discipline which requires the pro-rating of these three items of ministerial support with that of the pastor's salary, appealing to the sense of loyalty to our Discipline which ought to be a religious privilege on the part of preacher and people alike. For the information of the Conference, relative to this last recommenda tion, your committee submits the following cold facts relative to the four item� of ministerial support which the law of the church commands every minister and every congregation to meet in exact ratio. (The figures here submitted are from the last printed Minutes, the figures for this year were not available.) (a) The apportionment for the episcopal fund for the year 1922 and 1923 was $2,332, of which only $1,238 was paid or 55 cents on the dollar. Only 18 charges met this claim in full� 15 on the Ashland District, 1 on the Coving ton-Lexington District, and 2 on the Louisville District. Ashland District paid 79%; Covington-Lexington, 52%; Louisville, 42%, and Southeastern, 31% of their apportionment. What shall it profit a Conference if it passes resolutions of love and loyalty to the Bishop and refuses to do its full share for his support? 44 Kentucky Conference I1924
(b) The full annuity claim of the Retired Ministers was $12,079. En dowments, Book Concern dividends. Conference Claimants Board, and to the chartered fund gave us $4,822, leaving $7,257 to be apportioned churches, no provision being made for necessitous cases. The 6% on estimated cash salaries, which was the instructed rate for the year, would have yielded $6,737, or $520 less than the annuity claim. By some unknown process the claims as published in the statistical reports were reduced to $5,374 or $1,883 less than the legal annuity claim, exclusive of the necessitous cases. Thus three illegal reductions were made in apportionments. Of the apportionments as printed in the Minutes the churches raised $2,812. While that was an increase of approximately 70% over the previous year, it was only a slight fraction over 50% of the thrice reduced apportionments. Only 25 churches met this claim in full�Ashland, 14; Covington-Lexington, 4; Louisville, 5; and South eastern, 2. The amount illegally withheld by the churches from the retired ministers that year was equal to the income on a productive endowment of $45,000 at 5%. Doing everything we can to raise an endowment fund to care for the retired preachers of to-morrow we should not dishonestly withhold the just and easily met claims of the retired preachers. (c) As to District Superintendents' claims: Your committee believes that $2,500 a year net is not too much to pay our District Superintendents. However, we submit statements on three suggested requirements for the support of District Superintendents. Four Districts furnishing a net salary of $2,200 for each superintendent wouM require a straight apportionment of 12% on the cash salary of the pastors. The average payment for the year of 1922 and 1923 was 8% on the cash salary.

TEMPERANCE
Owing to the propaganda being spread by the enemy to defeat the will of the sovereign people of the United States, there never was a greater need of the church declaring herself for the enforcement of the law. The Volstead Law is being openly broken in many places, a widespread disregard for decent society being sown by the so-called liberal element. Our young people need our protection in these matters. to be endued We need to unify our friends and segregate our enemies, with the Holy Spirit, and fighting the good fight of faith, we shall see the Lord's knowledge cover the earth more rapidly than ever before. W. G. Bradford, N. H. Young, E. N. Early.
PREACHERS' RELIEF ASSOCIATION
The Preachers' Relief Association of the Kentucky Annual Conference of the Annual Con was conceived in the minds of a few laymen at a session ference held in Union Church, Covington, in the year 1878, at which time a next Conference. committee was appointed to report a plan at the This committee reported at the session held in Somerset in 1879, the act report was adopted at that time and a charter was granted by a special of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1880. The object of the association is to secure by donations, bequests, and other shall be wise, an endowment fund, the income only of which appropriated annually to those who shall be legal Conference claimants. The endowment fund has grown from $103, collected at Somerset m It 1879, to $57,451. Bequests, contributions, and dues make up this fund. has no other resources. The first two from those who have enjoyed the results of the life-long services of the beneficiaries of the association and the last from the members of the Conference who have become members of the association by the payment of annual dues. save for It has been impossible for a Methodist preacher in the past to had received. I find from the old age from the very small salary that he records that in 1917 there were only four preachers that received two thousand dollars and over, fourteen received from one to two thousand, thirty-eight received five hundred to a thousand and forty-three got less than five hundred dollars. Going back before 1917 the salaries were eveu lower. old How much do you think that you could save out of that for age? if Take for instance a man getting $600, which was the average for 1917, If he in he saved 10% or $60 for thirty years he would only have $1,800. vested that at 6% he would only be getting $108 per year. Do you think he could keep a family on that? The salary of the minister has been advancing, but has not kept pace with the cost of living. Big business corporations, who pay their employees in service. much larger salaries, pay a pension to those that grow old the Why should not the Methodist Church do as much for her retired preachers? For this reason the Preachers' Relief Association was organized. The of active service. With plan is to pay the retired preacher $10 for every year this an investment of $57,451 we pay only 56^^% of the claim year. It has been planned to raise the endowment to $100,000 so as to pay the claims in full. That our church is able to raise this amount there is no doubt. Instead we should raise more. Methodist The success of the measure depends upon the members of the Episcopal Church, and to you we make this appeal. Some of our retired There are twenty-seven claimants upon this fund. it is the men and widows of deceased preachers are old and feeble, and duty of life of the church to see that these people shall not suffer for the necessities and that their last days shall be their best days, as they prayed while in the active service of the church. 1924] Methodist Episcopal Church 47
It is a fact that the church people of the Kentucky Conference owe to these men that they shall not be forgotten. There should he no forgotten men and there should he no forgotten ohligations. The pioneers of the Conference were not paid men. They had an allow ance and that allowance was not always received by many. It was a time of great sacrifice and self denial. As a matter of debt, this obligation for which we appeal should be met. Opportunity to make money is denied the pastor. His work is to shep herd the flock of Christ. The church demands, and his success as a spiritual leader demands that he shall not be given over to money making and specu lation. In his consecration to the work of the ministry, he avowed his deter mination not to entangle himself in worldly pursuit, having given his life and energies to the church. Now the church is simply asked to provide for him in his old age. The claim is reasonable and just, and the church cannot be a Christian church and fail in looking after its worthy men. So we come with our appeal to you, worthy friends, to help us in our noble and most laudable enterprise to raise the fund of the association. Remember the mouth of the retired preacher is closed. He can not stand and plead his own cause. The pulpit is no longer his. He is mute. but let that fact appeal to you in his behalf. We are hopeful. We have sometime felt discouraged in the effort, but the cause is a righteous one and we are making this appeal to you. Come to our aid and you shall not regret.

The last instruc tions from this Board of Trustees was to pay off the $10,000 at the Louisville National Bank first. They seem to be perfectly content to carry the note and some of the others where interest rates are higher, would like to collect. The treasurer would like to have your permission to pay the most urgent ones first. Under your instructions all this indebtedness is to be be paid as each is realized from campaign funds. Endowment Campaign Our report on the Endowment pledges is necessarily incomplete. We have tried for more than a year to secure a finance man to handle that work but we failed. At a meeting of the Finance Committee in Feburary last, it was decided to secure an endowment and publicity secretary to do office work, and let the president of the college give extra time to that work in the office and in the field. We secured Mrs. Julia Gunn, who seems to be all that we could expect. She is extra good. We have not had time in the absence of President Franklin to get all details ready for a complete report. The work will now be pushed with all possible haste. In general, we can report that the expense of the campaign was $45,000. $35,000 of that has been paid and we have $6,012.06 in bank, all interests and incidental expenses have been paid to date. We have received several property pledges of considerable value. They are town lots in the city of Barbourville. We will furnish you a more detailed report as soon as we can get to it. President's House We have received from the Centenary Fund $6,429, and from the New York Board $2,000. This has been spent on construction. We hope to stay within the amount authorized and will make a detailed report when the house is finished. CIRCULATION RECORD OF WESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE FOR 1924 Ashland District Louisa 3 Martin S.

REV. JOHN W. ZIMMERMANN John W. Zimmermann was born in 1838. He joined the Kentucky An nual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with seventeen others who had located from the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in 1866. He was the last of those preachers, then and afterwards known as "the loyal eighteen." We have no record of his work in the Southern Methodist Church. He served as pastor at Main Street, Covington; Dayton, and several other churches in Kentucky and Southern Ohio. Brother Zimmermann's last work in our Conference as preacher in charge was his three years at Ashland, Ken tucky, ending 1875, after which he took the Superannuate relation and re moved to Danville, Ky., where he became joint owner and editor of a newspaper. After some years he undertook a post in the Government Revenue de partment. He removed to Dayton, Ky., in 1888, and when the limit was made for Supernumerary relation, he was appointed second preacher in charge there, with out salary, also undertaking the work of "Proof reader" in the Methodist Book Concern, Cin cinnati, for which he was emi nently qualified. During the years Doctor J. W. Zimmermann lived in Day ton, the pastors found in him a loyal friend, a hard worker in the church and Sunday school. He was often secured for special pulpit services around the north ern part of Kentucky, the con gregations appreciating his wide learning and the spiritual power of his sermons. He was a great lover of Kentucky Methodism, attending Conference sessions with regu John W. Zimmermann larity, reporting same to the Advocate. � Western Christian . ., , recall his toil in the Only two or three brethren remain who unswerving to the noble who was . be sixties and seventies. . .

Wareing, the Editor of the "Western," wrote; "Permit me to submit these few words concerning Dr. Zimmermann and his service to the Book Concern: "The Rev. John W. Zimmermann, D.D., member of the Kentucky Con ference, was an employee of the Methodist Book Concern for twenty-six years. He occupied the very important position of proof reader. Back in the old days when this position required considerable literary and historic information, he was regarded as one of the most indispensable men. It was his business to read manuscripts and prepare them for publication. He gave careful thought to everything that was accepted by the Book Concern. It is said that some of the greatest authors whose manuscripts were published by the Book Con cern owed more to him than they will ever be able to pay. "He was always held in high regard ;' carried himself as a Christian gentle man, and gave a devotion to his task and to the church that knew no limit. Through the years of his employment here he grew into old age, ripening in experience and carrying a fund of information that was always a delight to his friends when they had an opportunity to talk to him about the past. His retirement came at last because of the failure of his eyesight. He regretted leaving his task, and returned to his home with the feeling that the days of the years of his life were slowly coming to an end. His great faith bore him up in the evening time, and though the darkness fell across his path, the light that shineth brighter and brighter even unto the perfect day was the joy of the pathway of his soul." The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at Tower Church, Dayton, the Rev. T. B. Stratton, a close, personal friend, having charge of the services. Brief tributes were given by the Rev. Paul Scott, his pastor; the Rev. J. N. Ervin, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and Mr. John Venn, of The Methodist Book Concern. He was laid to rest beside his wife and daughter-in-law in Evergreen Cemetery.�J. D. Walsh. REV. FRED W. HARROP The Rev. Fred W. Harrop was born April 1, 1864, at Gillingham, New Brompton, Kent, England, and died at Booth Memorial Hospital, Covington, Kentucky, June 30, 1924. He came to the United States in the spring of 1890 and joined the Kentucky Conference that fall. He gave thirty-four years of continuous service to the Methodist Church in the State of Kentucky. It is doubtful if Kentucky Methodism has produced a son that has shown more interest in her history, and a greater concern for her welfare than Brother Harrop. He loved the cause of Methodism in our State and labored and sacrificed for the church of his choice for these thirty-four years. He will be remembered as one of the gifted ministers developed in the Kentucky Conference. He was a very successful pastor. In the com munities where he was located he was always a leader. His genial, sympathetic, kind and thought ful disposition drew to him his people and wherever he served, a host can be found that loved him de votedly. He had ability in getting things accom plished. The churches prospered under his deter mined and practical leadership. He was most effective in his labors with the young people of his pastorates. He was always a youth in spirit. Most Fred W. Harrop of the conversions and accessions in his ministry came from the persons of this class. He served but six churches. He commenced his ministry at Milldale, now Trinity, Covington, and was the first pastor of the newly organized church. He remained there four years and was sent to Catlettsburg where he labored from 1894 to 1896. 1924] Methodist Episcopal Church 73 In 1896 he became the pastor of Maysville where he continued for six years. He was returned in 1908 for two years after he had finished his first term as supermtendent of the Covington District. He gave a total of eight years to the Methodist Episcopal Church in Maysville. From there he went to oarbourville, where after two years he was compelled to move elsewhere on account of the health of his first wife. He returned for his second pastorate at Trinity Church, Covington, and remained there for three years. In 1915, at the request of Bishop Leete and a committee from First Church, Harlan, he was assigned to Harlan. Under his leadership a new house of worship was erected and Methodism was given its place in this rapidly developing field. In 1919 he was the Finance Secretary for Union College, and assisted in Secur ing the funds for the erection of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Gym nasium. He was sent to Somerset in 1920, and under his ministry the plans for the new church were accepted and its construction commenced. Brother Harrop was superintendent of the Covington District twice. Mis first term was from 1902 to 1908. He passed away in the second year of his second term. He was loved by the ministers in his District and in all his dealings was brotherly and thoughtful. He was a wise executive and inspired his fellow-workers to labor for results. He served his Conference in many capacities. The first office to which he was elected was Statistical Secretary. After filling this place for two years he was made Conference Secretary. He acted for two years. For fourteen years he was the Treasurer. In 1908 he was elected by the Board of Examiners as the Chairman of the Board. He served for thirteen years. He was also a member of the Board of Trustees, Board of Stewards, and Board of Education. He was interested pre-eminently in the retired preacher. He knew everyone, knew his needs and did all in his power to prevent any one in the group from being embarrassed. He carried with him all the time the welfare of the Preachers' Relief Society and the desire of his life was to lift the Endowment Fund up to where it would be sufficient to care for the claim of the super annuated preacher. He was a member of four General Conferences; three of the times he led the delegations. He was a student of Methodist history and polity, and was a valuable man for the legislative body of the church. After the adjournment of the session of the General Conference in Springfield, Massachusetts, he returned home from the long strain physically impaired. He submitted to an operation for chronic appendicitis and died June 30, 1924, four days after the operation. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Barth Harrop; his daughter, Mrs. Mae Mitchell, three grandchildren, one brother, and two sisters. The funeral services were held at Trinity Church, Covington, July 2, the pastor, Rev. H. E. Trent, in charge. Bishop William F. Anderson spoke feelingly of the great life of Brother Harrop. The burial services were at Maysville, Ky. Committee: John Owen Gross, J. D. Walsh. G. N. Jolly. VIII. leioU of 0nt ^onoreb �eat.

The $100,000 investment Fund (decided at the 1921 Conference to be raised in five years), is by no means realized. This calls for the very best efforts of pastors and Churches, that our retired brethren shall be better cared for in the days that lie ahead. This . , Appeal- . . . , IS a challenge If pastors will educate the rank and file of Methodism to the fact that all money re ceived by the Preachers' Relief Association goes into permanent endowment, and the interest of such goes to the relief of the re tired ministers, to the widows and orphans of deceased ministers of the Kentucky Con ference, we are confident our people will respond more liberally than heretofore. Why Not = urge our people to remember the Association in their will ? Thereby helping the faithful men in the ranks of the retired relation who once min istered to them in the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Kentucky. E. B. HILL, President of the Preachers' Relief Association. f I Kentucky Children's I Home Society I Kentucky's Qreat Institution for the I Care of Her Uncared-for Children More than 1200 children placed in the best homes of the State that would otherwise have been left to become charges in County Infir maries and finally left to make of themselves, what?

The religious services are refreshing, uplifting, and deeply spiritual ; the associa tions are genuinely delightful, appealing to the best desires; the recreations are of the type that brings the very best of the play instinct to the fore. The Campmeeting enters the second half-century of service to a large and growing constituency. Its contribution to the spiritual welfare of thousands during its fifty years of history could hardly be estimated. Three successful years of Epworth League Institute programs have been held in conjunction with the Gampmeeting. The Institute feature has put new life and vigor into the services as well as the social life of the camp. The dates for the 1925 meetings have been set as follows: Epworth League In stitute, July 18th to 25th; Campmeeting, July 26th to August 2d. The Campmeeting Association furnishes free entertainment to all pastors of the Ash land and Covington Districts who attend. REV. W. S. Peters, Covington, Ky.> Dean of Epworth League Institute. J. H. RICHARDSON. Maysville. Ky.. Pres. Board of Directors and Mgr. Epworth League Institute. ^h.e Christ Hospital The Christ Hospital, one of the great deaconess hospitals of the Middle West, is looking toward a great forward program. The necessity for a new surgery, administrative quarters and two wings to corrcopond to the annex building, is most imperative. Not a day passes but several patients are refused admittance because of lack of room. Pray the way may open for us to take an advanced step. During 1924, the hospital cared for upwards of 4,000 patients, and $70,000.00 worth of free work was rendered. Our Training School for Nurses offers large opportunities for young women. We have had 115 nurses during the year; 36 of these graduated in May, and a sufficient number � with a surplus�was on the waiting list to fill the vacancies. The most noted specialists in the country are on the staff of Christ Hospital. \ PIKEVILLE, KY.

Firstly, Provide what? Answer, property. Property reveals God, property means aug mented personality. The possession of property unfolds the human spirit of domination and God wants mankind to have dominion over all His property. Secondly, Dominion over His property makes us Stewards for God. The good Steward pays a tithe in acknowledgment of God's ownership and man ages the nine-tenths for His glory. Thirdly, If the nine-tenths of God's property is for human management, who will question that a second tithe should be invested in Life Insurance as a sacred obligation to prevent dependence and promote independence?
