Dr Henry B Master of the Presbyterian Board of Ministerial Relief condemned the pension system as an insult to clergy at a New York dinner attended by over 300 ministers and laymen from the New York Brooklyn Nassau and Westchester presbyteries. The Service Pension Fund aims to raise 15 million dollars with a second phase starting December 1 as New York New Jersey and New England work progresses.
