In 1789 was added the following: 



Nota Bene: That no ministers or preachers, traveling or local, 

 shall receive any support, either in money or other provision, for 

 their services, without the knowledge of the stewards of the circuits, 

 and its being properly entered quarterly on the books. 



In 1792: 



Question 3. What plan shall we pursue in appropriating the 

 money received by our traveling ministers for marriage-fees ? 



Answer. In all the circuits where the preachers do not receive 

 their full quarterage, let all such money be given into the hands of 

 the stewards, and be equally divided between the traveling preach- 

 ers of the circuit. In all other cases, the money shall be disposed 

 of at the discretion of the District Conference. 



The Nota Bene (1789) was also modified so as to read: 



No minister or preacher whatsoever shall receive any money for 

 deficiencies, or on any other account, out of any of our funds or col- 

 lections, without first giving an exact account of all the money, 

 clothes, and other presents of every kind, which he has received the 

 preceding year. 



In 1800: 



1. The annual salary of the traveling preachers shall be eighty 

 dollars and their traveling expenses. 



2. The annual allowance of the wives of traveling preachers shall 

 be eighty dollars. 



3. Each child of a traveling preacher shall be allowed sixteen 

 dollars annually to the age of seven years, and twenty-four dollars 

 annually from the age of seven to fourteen years; nevertheless, this 

 rule shall not apply to the children of preachers whose families are 

 provided for by other means in their circuits respectively. 



4. The salary of the superannuated, worn-out, and supernumer- 

 ary preachers shall be eighty dollars annually. 



5. The annual allowance of the wives of superannuated, worn- 

 out, and supernumerary preachers shall be eighty dollars.
