Scheme of Ecclesiastical Loans in Ireland Proposed
Government to enable loans for glebe purchases and houses for Anglican and other ministers in Ireland. Church bodies or ecclesiastical trustees could borrow at 3.5 percent for thirty five years. Borrowers then pay 5 percent yearly, and after thirty five years, glebes and manses become free in perpetuity as the extra 1.5 percent erases the capital.

Voluntaryism in Scotland Debate at Free Church Assembly
