Critical h e ^ s given by the Clerical Secretaries of the Svnod Chancellor Wyche and the Rev. Charles Could Sector’ of Cradock. ' The various suggestions and nrooosals received were collated and considered in Cape- F F, -it meetings held on December 30, 1932, al)dtown, c 12 iort bv the available members of the& T t 4 “ Bishop Lavis was present at the first meeting the Archbishop and Canon Hartley, together with Mr. Kilpin, at all the meetings. 1 he draft then

agreed upon was referred to the remaining members of the Committee. The revision, as printed in the Agenda, is as close an approximation to complete agreement as could be arrived at, in consideration both of the conditions under which the Committee had to work and of the difficulties inherent in the subject.

The assistance given to the Committee by Mr. Kilpin has been great in point of time and labour and invaluable in guidance.

Title— “ S t a n d i n g R i d e s . ”

Replaces the old title “ Rules of O rder.” “ O rder ” is omitted because of the ambiguity attending its use. It may be used of the order of proceedings, or order in debate, or an order of the day. As in practice the sense in which it is used is not always clear, it is liable to lead to confusion of ideas involving explanation and delay.

1 (3)— S u s p e n s i o n o f a R u l e .

A re-draft of Rule 03 which expressed the opposite to what w as no doubt intended.

2— S t a n d i n g R u l e s o f t h e H o u s e o f A s s e m b l y — old Rule 95.

This revision is based on the principle of conformity to the Rules of the House of Assembly. They are the recognized form for the conduct of public business throughout the Union. If any question of order or procedure arises, not covered by these rules, reference to this authority can be made more easily than to any other. The circumstances of the Synod call for certain modifications of Parliamentary procedure— e.g., Rule 30 (3)— and wherever such modifications 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— C h a i r m a n o f C o m m i t t e e s — old Rule, Chairman of Committee.

The plural use is adopted consequent on recognition of the principle that each Committee of the W h o le Synod is a. separate entity, erected for a specific purpose and terminated when that purpose is accomplished. Unlike the Synod, Committee of the whole Synod has not a continuous life.

8— A d v i s o r y C o m m i t t e e .

By resolution of Synod, 1924 (Constitution and Canons 1929, p. 129) an Advisory Committee was appointed to exercise the functions (a) and (b) of Rule 8. The constitution of the Committee has been left in the hands of the Archbishop 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 canonical 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 r d e r o f P r o c e e d i n g s .

Slight alterations have been made. The presentation of Petitions has been given precedence of other business, on the ancient constitutional doctrine which affords opportunities 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— P e t i t i o n s a r i d M e m o r i a l s .

W h en Memorials conclude with a prayer they are known as petitions. A s 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.

24

24*37— M o t i o n s a n d A m e n d m e n t s .

This section has been rearranged and clarified. Motions similar in type have been grouped together, and procedure in amendment has been brought into more logical conformity with the practice of the Synod. Various points in this process are indicated below.

24— U n o p p o s e d M o t i o n .

The so-called “ unopposed motion ” does not mean that the motion may not be discussed, but only that there is no opposition to its being moved without notice.

34— A d j o u r n m e n t o f D e b a t e .

This is a normal motion anticipating the resumption o f the debate at some later time. It must not be confused with “ A d j o u r n m e n t o f t h e S y n o d , ” which if moved and ■carried during debate means that the whole question falls aw ay.

36— C l o s u r e .

This new rule offers a simpler method than that of old Rule 54, of bringing to an end an unprofitable debate, or at least of testing the opinion of the Synod upon its continuance.

39— L e a v e t o I n t r o d u c e .

The motion for leave to introduce is important since it gives the Synod the opportunity of defining the limits of the Bill it is prepared to consider.

26— D i l a t o r y M o t i o n .

The provision in Rule 26 is to prevent minorities from using the Rule as a weapon of obstruction.

29— P r o p o s e d f r o m t h e C h a i r .

In practice the formula, “ put the question ” has been used for two distinct stages of dealing with a motion or amendment. A fter a proposition has been moved and seconded, the President or Chairman of Committees “ puts the question ” to the Synod f o r d i s c u s s i o n o r d e b a t e . This first stage makes the proposition the property of the Synod. W h en the debate is closed he again “ puts the question,” but this time f o r d e c i s i o n . T o save confusion, “ propose from the Chair ” is recommended as the formula for the first stage, reserving “ put the question ” for the final stage. This is the House of Com m ons’ use.

30— M e t h o d o f A m e n d m e n t .

The three sections of the new rule expand the old Rules 50 and 51 by defining the custom of the Synod which these rules do not wholly or clearly express— e .g ., 30 (1), second sentence; and 30 (3).

31— Q u e s t i o n s s u p e r s e d e d .

The various methods of superseding a question are tabulated, and a full explanation given of Rule 32.

32— T h e P r e v i o u s Q u e s t i o n .

Perhaps the least understood of all superseding motions.

( f t *

40— B r i n g u p t h e B i l l .

1 his action of delivering the Bill makes it the property o f the Synod, instead of the property of the member.

41— T i t l e o f t h e B i l l .

The reading of the Title at different stages gives effect to the motion that the Bill be read and obviates the necessity •of reading the whole Bill for information.

49— D i v i s i o n s a n d P r o t e s t s .

The old section “ Protests ” (Rules 91 and 92) is incorporated with Divisions since it is inseparably connected with decisions arrived at after a division.

59— R i g h t o f M o v e r t o R e p l y .

N o provision is now made for a member who has s e c o n d e d a motion to reserve his speech. This is in accordance with the practice of the H ouse of Commons.

70— S e l e c t a n d S t a n d i n g C o m m i t t e e s .

This rule expresses a distinction not always understood. It may be well here to quote the Church Assem bly’s definition of Board, Council and Commission, viz., “ a body consisting partly but not exclusively of members of the Assembly for such purposes as the resolution (erecting them) may specify. Such a body shall be called a Board or Council if the purposes for which it is appointed are permanent, and a Commission if the purposes are tem porary.”

26

P r i v i l e g e ( o l d R u l e s 8 8 - g o ) .

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 O rder.”

89— D a t e o f n e x t S e s s i o n .

. This rule, though not affecting the course o f business,, is added as specifying custom.

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. In their application it is the spirit rather than the letter that must prevail.

Your Grace, Mr. Young phoned to say that the

"Empress of Australia" is sa ilin g in a couple of days'

time, and, weather perm itting, is going to land stores

e tc . at T ris tan . I f your Grace is wanting to send

anything, he would be only too pleased to arrange fo r

i t to be sent. His phone Ho. is 2-5134.

He thought that perhaps you would lik e to announce at

Synod that the ship is going, in case anyone wants to

send anything. Of course, anyone else would have to

make the usual arrangements.

Mr. Young says he thinks your Grace would remember him: he came out on the boat with you.

* O f this amount £ 10,000 has been invested on First M ortgage since 31.12.1934. 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 fo llow s;Fo r Investment of C a p it a l .................... 1 per cent.hor Collection of M ortgage Interest 2J per cent. Other In t e re s t ................... ..................... 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 December, 1934.

(e) Interest Reserve Fund :This stood at £ 2,240 Os. 4d. on 31st December, 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, ow ing 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, ow ing largely to the experience and care exercised 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.

W h ere the security for M ortgage 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 opportunities 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 Union Stock w as converted at par from a 5 per cent, to a 3f per cent, holding, 1948-58. O w in g to the large amount of capital involved it w as thought better to accept the offer of conversion than to run a risk of having this capital uninvested for an uncertain period.

In addition to this, the interest on all bona fide farm m ortgages w as reduced as from 1st April, 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 m aintain 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 fo llow ing nett rates since the last Synod :—

1929— 5i% 1930— 5% 1931—4$% 1932— 4f%

1933— 4$%. Average for five years— 4$%.

A t the time of preparing this Report it is not possible to say what the yield for 1934 will be. The Trustees are assum ing a revenue of 4 per cent., and have made a d istribution accordingly.

5. Investment Committee:All investments made on behalf of the Trustees are first

submitted by the South African Association to an Investment Committee, who report on the security offered at the next meeting of the Board, with whom rests the final acceptance. The present Committee consists of the Hon. H . L.

14

Currey, Mr. Ivan Silberbauer and Mr. G. F. W . Batho, o f whose responsible services the Trustees desire to place their appreciation on record.

6 . Legacies and Gifts :The follow ing legacies and gifts have been received

since the last Synod. ( N o t e )— The sum of £50 included inthe 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 “ D u T o it’s Pan ” with the date. This cross, which was presented to Bishop Holbech when he left Kim berley now becomes an heirloom of the Diocese of Cape Tow n through the Archbishop’s generous action.

7. Colonial Bishoprics F u n d :

An application was made by the Trustees of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund, and heard by Mr. Justice Luxm oore in the H igh -o u rt of Justice, Chancery Division, England in fulv 1934, when the Court ordered by way of Scheme c y p rL that

pr° PCrty ° f the Fund - have been allo cated to the Bishopric of Cape Tow n and are now or mayhereafter be in the hands or under the control of the Trustees

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 Trust governing such

This property and the Funds mentioned represent the

-md th \ End° WmCnt ° f the Bish!)P ric of Cape Tow n, and the action is designed to take this property and thefunds 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

h r n V t 6 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 w ithdraw ing £ 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 P ro vincial Endowm ent 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 r n v W - lT t aSi Partvx°u thCi r assessments for the Common • ovinclal Eund- 'kV hen the arrangements w-ere completed m July, 193z, the repayment required W'as as fo llow s:—

lota l annuity required for repaymentof £ 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 theCommon Provincial Fund as above £117 5 10

188 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 w as calculated at 5 per cent., whereas under present conditions 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 Novem ber, 1932, that an amount of £ 1,500 w as required in order to meet existing liabilities of the Estate, including a bank overdraft o f £ 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 way, 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 B ishops- court property w as explained bv the Secretary to a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund held in London on l'2th June, 1934.

10. Manifold F a rm :

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 M anager 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 M anager 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 m anagers 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 Novem ber, 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 M anager be asked to state how soon in his opinion it will be possible to do this.”

, J"he M anager’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°P erty. Colonel John Foster M ani- 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 fa rm

ing on their own account or for any similar purpose.

11. General:

W h ile 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 available for reference during the discussion of this Report.

T h e B o a r d .

Acting under the provisions of Clause 5 of Canon X L ., the Board have asked Archdeacon U rquhart to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Bishop of Dam araland.

GENERAL.1. { a ) F u n d s u n d e r A d m i n i s t r a t i o n .

It w ill 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 4Provincial Fund for the Widows and Orphans of the Clergy as at

30th April, 1934 ..................................................................................... 53,854 16 5

£154,865 0 9

( b ) I n t e r e s t , e t c .

Interest at the rate of 4| per cent, per annum has been earned b y the Board of Provincial Trustees on investments held b y them for account of the funds administered by the Pensions Board, excepting only £600 3| per cent. Cape Tow n Municipal Stock, which is written down in the Pensions Fund Accounts (Canon X L .) to £525 in order to produce 4 per cent, per annum. The amount administered for the W idow s 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 com pared 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 a l u a t i o n .

Both Funds are being valued by the Actuary, whose reports will be presented to the forthcoming Synod.

( e ) A m e n d m e n t o f C a n o n s X L a n d 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 p p e a l f o r S u p p l e m e n t a r y F u n d s .

The Members of the Board have to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of the following amounts from

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. l id . 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 X L .

A s 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 A frica 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 April, 1934, to be £53,854 16s. 5d., against £50,563 Is. 3d. last year.

9. T h e A u d i t o r s r e p o r t a s f o l l o w s :

“ W e have completed the audit of the Contributory Fund for the year ended 30th April, 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. Acomparison of the Revenue and Expenditure for the two years is given, so that the reasons for such increasem ay clearly be seen.

“ Pensions paid show a further increase : this is to be expected, and as time passes this figure will grow, and the present yearly addition to the Fund of about £3,000 w ill incline more towards a much lower figure. Refunds have decreased substantially, and this accounts for the greater increase in the Fund this year.”

10. N u m b e r o f A s s o c i a t e s .

The num ber 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 num ber of Clergy in the Province.It is most im portant that the Secretary should be informed of the arrival of new Clergy at the earliest

possible date, in order that he m ay advise them of the requirements of the Fund as set forth in the Canon.

11. P e n s i o n s .

The num ber 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.
