2. This Board was the first to receive permission from Synod:
to accept annuity gifts in behalf of the Veterans of the Cross and. :
their dependents. We pay one tenth of one per cent for each year °
of the giver’s age when the gift is made; 6 per cent for life if he’
or she is 60 years old; 6.1 per cent if 61 years, etc. After the.
benefactor has ceased to need the interest, it will help to provide
comfort and care for faithful servants of God.
