THE ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL.

♦ 1. THE PLAN OF ORGANIZATION.

In the revision of the Constitution of the Council at its meeting in 1913, three important additions were made to the statement of its purpose. Not only is the Council, as before, to foster and express the substantial unity of the Congregational churches and consult upon the common interests of all the churches, but it is also (1) to " devise measures and maintain agencies for the promotion of their common interests; (2) to cooperate with any corporation or body under control of or affiliated with the Congregational churches or any of them; and (3) to do and promote the work of the Congregational churches of the United States in their national, inter- national, and interdenominational relations."

Accordingly, at this same meeting the organization of the Council was changed in order to give effect to this enlargement and restatement of purpose. The exist- ing committees were coordinated, new committees were established and the duties of all were more clearly defined. To avoid confusion, permanent committees were usually given the name of " Commissions."

The Moderator, in addition to the duty of presiding at the sessions of the Coun- cil, has the representative function " of visiting and addressing churches and associa- tions upon their invitation and of representing the Congregational churches in the wider relations of Christian fellowship so far as he may be able and disposed." He is ex officio a member of the Executive Committee, and of the Board of Ministerial Relief, and by \'irtue of his position is chairman of the Congregational delegation in the Federal Council.

The Secretary, in addition to the duty of keeping the Council records, conduct- ing its correspondence and editing its publications, is also instructed to " aid the committees and commissions of the Council " and to " be available for advice and help in matters of polity and constructive organization." Like the Moderator, he may represent the Council and the churches in interdenominational relations. He is, ex officio. Secretary of the Commission on Missions, and of the Executive Committee, and a member of the Board of Ministerial Relief. He is also a member of the Federal Council.

The Executive Committee is in general charge of the work of the Council. Specifi- cally it (1) acts for the Council between sessions, (2) supervises its finances, (3) fills vacancies in all offices or commissions (except the Commission on Missions), (4) prepares the program for the meetings of the Council.

The Corporation is the legal entity of the Council and the custodian of its in- vested funds, except those devoted to Ministerial Relief. It is authorized to receive and hold property that may be conveyed to it in trust or otherwise for the benefit of Congregational churches or of any Congregational church.

The Nominating Committee, consisting of nine members, serves from the close of one stated meeting till the close of the following stated meeting. Its members are elected in classes.

The Commission on Missions. In its new constitution the Council recognizes the following organizations as the national representatives of the Congregational churches in doing missionary work, viz., the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and the cooperating Woman's Boards of Missions, the Congrega- tional Home Missionary Society, the American Missionary Association, the Con- gregational Education Society, the Congregational Church Building Society, the Congregational Sunday-School Extension Society, the Congregational Board of Ministerial Relief, and the Woman's Home Missionary Federation. It provides a plan by which the members of the National Council become, with the addi- tion of a specified number of persons, the voting membership of each Society (except the woman's organizations). It also provides for the appointment of a Comnaission on Missions consisting of twenty-four persons (nine nominated by the Societies) charged with the duty of advising these societies as to organization, methods and policies, and of recommending to the Council such action in the field of missions as commends itself to the judgment of the Commission. The adminis- tration of the Apportionment Plan is also one of its duties.

The Commission on Social Service is entrusted with the direction of " the activi- ties of our churches in dealing with social problems in city and in country, including those in the rural church and community, in municipal and industrial conditions, and in the work of charities and corrections." It succeeds to the work of the Congregational Brotherhood in promoting men's organizations in the churches.

The Commission on Evangelism. To this Commission is committed the task of aiding the churches in their fundamental duty of winning disciples.

The Commission on Religious and Moral Education is charged with forwarding the training of the children and youth of the Congregational churches through the Sunday schools and Young People's societies and in schools and colleges. It is asked to take leadership in the field of religious and moral education for all ages.

The Commission on Federation, Comity and Unity and the Delegates to the Federal Council, together constitute the agency of the Council in promoting closer relations and securing greater cooperation with other denominations and in furthering the cause of Christian union throughout the nation and the world.

The National Service Commission seeks to aid the churches in meeting their national and international responsibilities especially as related to the war and the reconstruction era beyond.

The Commission on Organization is charged with the duty of studying problems of organization whether as related to the Council, the State Conference, the Dis- trict Association or the local church.

The Pilgrim Memorial Fund Commission of one hundred members is entrusted with the task of raising a fund of $5,000,000, the interest of which shall be used to provide old age pensions for Congregational ministers.

Temperance and Public Worship. These commissions discharge such duties as are indicated by their names.

1917] The Corporation for the National Council.

THE CORPORATION FOR THE NATIONAL COUNCIL.

The Corporation was formed in 1909 pursuant to a resolution of the National Council. It secured a charter from the legislature of the State of Connecticut. The powers granted are described in this charter as follows :

The object of said corporation is to do and promote charitable and Christian work for the advancement of the general interests and purposes of the Congrega- tional churches of this country, and to receive, hold and administer, in trust or otherwise, funds and property for the use of said National Council, or of churches of the Congregational order, or of any particular church of said order; and all in accordance with resolutions and declarations made from time to time by the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States, or by any body which may succeed to the functions of said council; and said corporation may cooperate with any other corporation or body which is under the charge and control of churches of the Congregational order in the United States, or churches at the time affiliated with said order. Said corporation may acquire by purchase, gift, devise, or otherwise, and hold and dispose of real and personal property for the purposes of its creation and may make any contracts for promoting its objects and purposes not inconsistent with law.

The members of this Corporation, seventeen in number, are chosen by the National Council for a six years' term, except the Moderator and Secretary, who are members only during their terms of service in the Council. The present membership of the Corporation is as follows: Simeon E. Baldwin, Rev. W. E. Barton, Henry M. Beardsley, Pres. D. J. Cowling, Rev. William Horace Day, Lucius R. Eastman, Willard E. Edmister, B. H. Fancher, Rev. H. C. Herring, Arthur S. Johnson, Thomas C. MacMillan, S. H. Miller, Rev. Charles S. Mills, Epaphroditus Peck, J. H. Perry, Russell S. Walker, Samuel Woolverton.

The Corporation holds $2,140 of general funds belonging to the National Council, the income of which is paid to the Executive Committee of the Council to be used for denominational purposes. It is also charged with care of sums contributed for the Pilgrim Memorial Fund of $5,000,000.

It will be seen that under its Charter the Corporation is empowered to receive and administer funds for any Congregational interest local or general. Its mem- bers being chosen by the national body are directly representative of the churches, while at the same time its compact organization enables it to care for moneys entrusted to it with business-like efficiency.

Correspondence is invited from any who desire to entrust their gifts to this permanent and legally incorporated body. The Secretary of the Corporation is Rev. H. C. Herring, 14 Beacon St., Boston, Mass., and the Treasurer is Mr. B. H. Fancher, 287 Fourth Ave., New York City.

The nineteen fields of the American Board are distributed in sixteen lands; seven of these, Turkey, Albania, Servia, Bulgaria, Greece, Austria and Mexico, are ravaged by war; and remote and inconspicuous Micronesia has been disturbed by its clash of authorities. Notwithstanding this appalling fact, missionary work went on in these lands during 1917, in some cases with almost no interruption, and in all cases with rewarding results. In Turkey, missionaries were able carefully to dispense large sums of relief money, as well as to speak the word of sympathy and cheer to multitudes of the broken-hearted. Where regular lines of missionary work were arrested, this special line of ministry was devotedly pursued. In the Balkan states, schools were continued without interference and missionary life went on much as in peaceful times; though the strain of witnessing the distress of the people, and of forecasting what the future might involve, made all loads heavier.

The spread of disorder and the growing tension between Mexico and the United States necessitated the withdrawal of the missionaries from the former country in 1916, but work is gradually being resumed. The Mexican pastors have held their churches together, maintained services and watched over their flocks with fine devotion. There is to be a realignment of work between the various denomina- tions, looking to the American Board assuming exclusive responsibility in several states on the western coast.

In the lands not in war zones, in China, Japan, India, Ceylon and Africa, in Spain and the Philippines, the year just closed has been uniformly one of advance; in some of them, notably China and the Philippines, the call for help is fairly overpowering.

The receipts of the Board for 1917 were the largest in its history — $1,247,715.99. Expenditures were $.3,586.25 less than this amount. Despite this gratifying increase in receipts it is impossible to keep the income up to the urgent needs of these growing missions, especially in war times, when the expense of the work is enormously increased.

field extends from the Atlantic Coast to the Hawaiian Islands, and from Porto Rico to Alaska. It includes in the South, the Negroes and the Whites, both in the moun- tains and the lowlands; in the West, the Indians; on the Pacific Coast, the Chinese, Japanese and Hindus; in Alaska, the Eskimos; and in Porto Rico and Hawaii, those of various races. A large body of Christian educational work among the Latin Americans in the Southwest has been transferred by the National Council from the Congregational Education Society. It adds a large financial and ad- ministrative burden to the American Missionary Association.

PURPOSE and method.

The American Missionary Association is training leaders for these different races. This involves an

industrial leadership.

The Association years ago introduced into its schools Industrial Training. All our principal schools now give this training. The aim is not simply to instruct the few in handicrafts, but to give to the many an intelligent and efficient industrial leadership within their own race, which shall encourage industrial activity and lead to economic development.

AN intellectual LEADERSHIP

is also furnished through the colleges and higher institutions. No race can be lifted by the means of Industrial Training alone. The larger development of intel- lectual life is essential to secure to any race influence and power. This the Asso- ciation recognizes and provides for. In its normal schools hundreds of teachers are trained for the public schools. This training of teachers is of supreme impor- tance in the elevation of any people.

MORAL and religious LEADERSHIP.

Departments of Biblical and theological instruction, in which ministers and missionaries are trained for the service of their own people, are provided by the Association. Character building and religious instruction are everywhere a part of school training. High moral standards can be met only by a well-trained moral and religious leadership,

EDUCATIONAL WORK

includes normal, theological, college, academic, and grade teaching, with instruc- tion in manual training, domestic science, mechanical arts and agriculture. There are five chartered institutions for colored students as follows: Fisk University, Talladega College, Tougaloo College, Straight College and Tillotson College. Piedmont College gathers a large body of white students. There are also secondary and elementary schools to the number of 50. The total enrollment in all the institutions of the American Missionary Association last year was 12,675.

CHURCH WORK.

The value of Congregational churches in the field occupied by the American Missionary Association cannot be measured by the number of these churches. Missions are established which often do not grow into organized ecclesiastical bodies. This is especially true among the Indians. These missions, however, are of large value in bringing the influence and light of the gospel to darkened and neglected peoples. Many of the Congregational churches maintain these missions in their vicinage and so multiply their work. Our high ideals of church life maintained by these Congregational churches render somewhat slow the progress of their organization. This is true especially where there is an inadequate intelligence and leadership. An emphasis of the dignity and sacredness of church membership is thus impressed.

Among the Negroes there is an increasing expression of the ambition and desire for expansion and growth. These evidences of progress in the church work are encouraging.

FORM OF A BEQUEST.

I give and bequeath the sum of dollars to " The American Missionary

Association," incorporated by act of the Legislature of the State of New York. '

Mollis should be attested by three witnesses (in some states three are re- quired, in other states only two), who shall write against their names their places of residence (if in cities, the street and number). The following form of attesta- tion will answer for every state in the Union: " Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said (A B) as his last Will and Testament in the presence of us, who, at the request of the said (A B) and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses." In some states it is required that charitable bequests should be made at least two months before the death of the testator, but this rule does not apply to bequests in New York State to this Association.

functions of THE CONGREGATIONAL SUNDAY'-SCHOOL EXTENSION SOCIETY.

The functions of this Society are concisely outlined in the following quotation from the action of the National Council in its meeting in Columbus, Ohio, October 1917.

" That to the Sunday-School Extension Society there be committed the care of Sunday-School Extension Work on behalf of the denomination. This Society shall also work in cooperative relations with the Religious Education Board. . . . Briefly summarized this means the assignment to the Education force of full responsibility of leadership in all that has to do with the educational methods and evangelistic outreach of the local Sunday-schools, while to the extension force is assigned the planting of mission Sunday-schools and continuous effort to carry out the plans of the Educational force along such lines as that force may select."

THE WOMAN'S BOARDS OF MISSIONS. The three Woman's Boards are corporate bodies, chartered under the statutes of Massachusetts, Illinois and California, respectively. Each cooperates with the American Board and assumes the support of a part of the work under the care of the American Board. They collect money through Branches, Auxiliaries and Mission Circles, and support missionaries as teachers, evangelists, doctors and nurses. Their missionaries receive appointment from the Prudential Committee of the American Board, and are enrolled as its missionaries. Although the funds of the Boards are forwarded to the mission field through the treasury of the Ameri- can Board, all the money has been previously designated by the Woman's Boards, each of which has its specific work to be supported out of its own funds. The women, girls and children of the churches are the constituency upon whom rests the responsibility of providing these funds.

This Federation is the only national organization existing among Congrega- tional women. The constitution in part is as follows:

Object. — The object shall be to promote the work of the National Home Mission Societies by securing the co-operation o'f all State bodies of women organ- ized for the advancement of Congregational Home Missions.

Membership. — All state organizations of women connected with Congrega- tional churches, seeking to promote the work of the National Home Missions Societies, shall be eligible to membership in the Federation.

Meeting. — The Executive Committee shall appoint the time and place of the annual meeting.

The Federation is made up of thirty-four women's state unions. It is the hope and purpose of the Federation to unify the Home Missionary work of the Congregational women of the United States and to raise $300,000 for the work of the Homeland Societies. The State Unions have been asked to adopt at least 15 per cent, of the State Missionary Apportionment. For purposes of economy this money is disbursed by the thirty-four state treasurers directly to the six homeland societies, following as closely as possible the percentages of the apportionment plan.

"The Federation has representation on the National Apportionment Com- mission, the Congregational Home Missionary Society, the A. M. A., and the joint Board of Directors of the Education Society and Sunday School Society. It is now recognized in all denominational literature and plans as one of the national societies.

THE PILGRIM MEMORIAL FUND.

The National Council, at its meeting in Columbus, Ohio, October 15th, decided, as one feature of the commemoration of the three hundredth anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims, to seek to raise a Fund of five million dollars, the same to be held as a perpetual endowment under the title given above.

A Memorial Fund Commission of one hundred persons was appointed, charged with the duty of bringing the matter before the churches and individuals of our fellowship. The Chairman of the Commission is Rev. Charles S. Mills, d.d., Montclair, N. J., and its Executive Secretary, Rev. Herman F. Swartz, d.d., of New York. The office of the Fund is 287 Fourth Avenue, New York.

Contributions for the Fund are held by the Corporation for the National Council, which consists of fifteen persons with the Moderator and Secretary of the Council ex officio. In the membership of the Corporation are five prominent bank- ers of New York City who have been designated as an Investment and Finance Committee. The income of the Fund will be paid year by year to the Board of Directors of the Annuity Fund for Congregational ministers.

When the plans approved at the Columbus Council are fully in operation all ministers whose term of service and annual payments entitle them to the full benefit of the Fund will receive from the age of sixty-five on an annuity equal to one half the average salary received during their period of service. Those whose term of service or membership in the Fund has been less than the maximum re- quired will receive a corresponding proportion of such average.

The annual payments by which the necessary reserves are accumulated from which to pay annuities as above, plus disability and death benefits, are made up from the distribution of the income of the Memorial Fund, this being equally dis- tributed among all members to which will be added a payment, year by year, equal to eight per cent, of the minister's salary, it being anticipated that the church served by the minister will provide a portion of this on a basis to be designated by the Board of the Annuity Fund.

Bequests should be made to the Corporation for the National Council of Con- gregational Churches of the United States. All correspondence relating to the treasury, and remittances of every kind, should be made to B. H. Fancher, Trea- surer, 287 Fourth Avenue, New York.

THE NATIONAL SERVICE COMMISSION. Recognizing that war conditions and the problems which the world will face in the years beyond the war are making and are to make a large demand upon the wisdom and devotion of the Church of Christ, the last National Council appointed a Commission of twenty-five persons, under the above name, charged with duties of which the following is a brief outline:

I. To give leadership to our churches in their support of the Government of the United States as it prosecutes the sacred task in which it is now enlisted.

II. To cooperate with all other churches and agencies in promoting the comfort and welfare of our Army and Navy.

III. To aid the churches of our fellow.ship in their study of national and international obligations and of the responsibilities which fall to the Church of Christ with reference to them.

IV. To aid in the moulding of the public opinion of our nation and the policies of our government in conformity with the principles of the Gospel of Christ.

One of the immediate and pressing duties of the Commission is to cooperate with local churches and groups of churches near the training camps in their efforts to protect the enlisted men from temptation and to minister to their moral and religious needs.

In addition, the Commission is seeking to provide equipment for Army and Navy Chaplains, who have a special claim upon us by reason of their membership in our communion. The government furnishes to the Chaplains only their salary. Manj'- things necessary to the proper prosecution of their task must be secured by private subscription.

In addition, the Commission has already projected important lines of educa- tional activity. The National Council office is cooperating in the holding of conferences and public meetings.

For all these uses the Council authorized the Commission to appeal for the sum of .SIOO.OOO. This will all be needed within the coming year if the Commis- sion is to care for the interests committed to it. Contributions are earnestlj' asked for.

OTHER SOCIETIES.

THE CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OF PASTORAL SUPPLY. 610 Congregational House, Boston.

Directors. — Rev. Watson L. Phillips, d.d., Chairman; Sylvanus G. Morse, Treasurer; Appleton P. Williams, Auditor; Rev. Robert E. Brown; Rev. Gideon A. Burgess; Judge Alfred Coit; George L. Dunham; Rev. Frederick E. Emrich, D.D.; Rev. John P. Garfield; George F. Kendall; Rev. Frank W. Merrick, d.d.; Rev. George S. Mills; Prof. Warren J. Moulton, d.d.; Rev. D. Augustine Newton, d.d.; Oscar A. Phelps; Rev. Frank D. Sargent; Rev. Oliver D. Sewall; Rev. Edward R. Stearns; Irwin W. Tapley; Rev. W. B. Tuthill, d.d.

Secretary. — Rev. Arthur J. Covell.

This Board is maintained and controlled by the Congregational Conferences of the six New England states. It is an advisory agency in aiding pastoral settle- ments. Its rule is to make recommendations to a church only in response to direct official request. It is the|servant of the churches, and is entirely responsible to them.

Our business is to set before the churches clear and impartial and considerate testimonies relative to ministers concerning whom they make inquiries. We give names of men available for the pastorate, if that is desired; and we designate and engage men to preach with reference to settlement whenever that may be left with us. We also furnish temporary or occasional supplies wherever they may be wanted. The Secretary visits churches upon request, supplying the pulpit and meeting the committee of the church.

The Secretary also visits the theological seminaries, that he may, so far as possible, know personally the men of the senior classes who are ready for settle- ment. And as far as desired, and other duties permit, he speaks before associa- tions of churches and ministerial unions in the interests of the work for which the Board stands.

The work of the office is large and increasing. We have carefully recorded statements concerning more than half of all the Congregational ministers in the country, and of nearly all those in New England. The churches served by us are most largely in the New England states, but our business reaches to almost every state, and passes even a little beyond the bounds of the Union.

The records of our office contain important facts relative to the churches that have corresponded with us. They cover preaching engagements of every sort made through our agency, and they include copies of all letters descriptive of ministerial standing and capacity. Nothing is done that is not put within reach of authorized inspection.

It is not meant that anything should be done as a matter of merely personal favor or disfavor. It is not intended either that the individual judgment of any one person should be much put forward as of decisive weight. In matters con- cerning ministerial character and capacity it is meant that there should be gathered in, as far as possible, the general judgment of discerning men who have had oppor- tunities of knowledge; and it is the business of the Secretary to place this general judgment as best he can before those who have need to know and the right to know what it is.

The expenses of the Board are borne chiefly by contributions from the churches of New England, through the treasuries of the State Conferences. Fees are charged, however, to ministers for the furnishing of opportunities for the occasional supply- ing of pulpits, and also for aid in securing pastoral settlements outside of New England. Within New England, there is no settlement fee. No charge is made to churches anywhere. But churches outside of the six cooperating states have often assumed the payment of office fees which might otherwise have been paid by the ministers concerned.

Corresponding Secretary. — Rev. Merritt A. Farren.

Object. — This Society is devoted to the material, moral and spiritual welfare of seamen. It aims to promote temperance, thrift, morality and religion among a class of men whose privations and hardships, temptations and perils, are extreme, and who at the same time respond to helpful moral and religious influences more readily than any other class of men. It also undertakes to provide these men with social entertainment and relieve their wants when shipwrecked and destitute.

Scope. — This work is not local. It has to be done where seamen are, at large commercial centers like Boston, or on great thoroughfares of commerce, like Vine- yard Sound. The work is necessarily prosecuted at points on the coast, but it cares for sailor boys who have come from every state in the Union.

The work is not only for sailors from every part of our land, but for men of every race and nation. These men are followed by correspondence to all parts of the world; so that while this work has its center upon our coasts, its circum- ference includes all seas and shores where sailors may be found.

Methods. — The work is not simply preaching to sailors, but a large and varied ministry to all the wants of seamen. Good reading is supplied to men remote from books and news stands. Entertainments, concerts, and sailors' suppers are given for the social side of the sailor's life; the earnings of men are received and placed on deposit, with interest; invalids in naval or marine hospitals are visited with cheer and comfort. The temperance pledge plays an important part, a dozen or more sailors often signing at a time. Power launches are maintained to minister to the wants of Jack afloat as well as ashore. Attractive singing is provided, not only in our Bethels, but at the navy yard and in hospitals, and sailors afloat are regaled with gospel songs that touch the heart, sung by young people on board our harbor launch. Food, clothing and shelter are supplied to men shipwrecked and destitute at all seasons, especially in the rigors of winter. Large numbers of these unfortunates are cared for every year.

Results. — Many men have been led to save their earnings, an aggregate of many thousands of dollars. Hundreds of men have been helped and befriended in time of dire distress. Many thousands have had a cheery and homelike place of resort in reading-rooms, fitted up with games as well as with books and magazines. All this is additional to the regular evangelistic work of the Society, which is unsurpassed in its way.

But the most noteworthy results of the work are of that intangible kind, affect- ing the heart and life, which cannot be tabulated. In our Sailor's Rest and Chapel, 287 Hanover St., Boston, there are religious meetings Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday evenings, and there have been seasons when from November to May there was rarely a meeting without requests for prayer. At our Vineyard Haven Bethel there are conversions every month, nearly every week in the year, and in the last eight years sixteen hundred sailors have united in a bond of Christian fellowship known as the " Hold Fast," and with these men the Chaplain is in constant cor- respondence. The spiritual value of the work accomplished is beyond all estimate.

Needs. — The Society needs an annual contribution from every church, Sunday school, and Endeavor Society. It greatly needs at this time special gifts from favored donors, amounting to at least $7,000, to meet the balance of expense for changes and improvements in our Sailor's Rest at 287 Hanover St., by which two thirds of that fine building have been made available for Bethel work instead of one third, as heretofore. It needs to have its revenues supplemented by an occasional bequest from generous patrons whose living gifts may fail us. It needs the sympathy and prayers of all who care for the sailor's welfare and have any sense of the great debt we owe to the much-neglected men of the sea.

FORM OF bequest.

I give and bequeath to the Boston Seaman's Friend Society the sum of $

to be applied to the charitable uses and purposes of said Society.

The Seminary aims (1) to develop the practical side of the religious life, and thus produce an evangelistic and spiritual ministry; (2) to give the student an insight into modern methods of interpretation, but so as to produce a constructive scholarship; (3) to find God and the Holy Spirit in history and the Church; to see Christ in the lowliest forms of philanthropic endeavor; and thus preach a gospel for the whole life. The Seminary aims to enable the student to have definite con- victions and yet a mind open to the advances of scholarship.

The courses of instruction are arranged to meet the needs of the Southern field. The regular theological course embraces three years of study. At its completion the degree of b.d. or b.b.l. is given. Candidates entering upon this course must have a college course or its equivalent. The English theological course is designed to meet the needs of many pastors who are desirous of entering upon a course of study, but who are too advanced in age to take the regular college preparatory requirements. In such cases the course embraces three years of study besides the regular English preparatory studies. The third course is the Correspondence, for home study. It is given to meet the needs of pastors who are so situated that they cannot leave their work to attend the Seminary. The fourth is also for non-resident students, and is designed especially for the graduates of this and other seminaries, who desire to continue, under experienced leadership, systematic study. To all non-resident students books are sent, lessons are assigned and examinations are given.

The Extension Department takes the Seminary to the homes, churches, schools, associations and conferences of our people throughout the South.

The books of our library will be sent to pastors and teachers, free of cost save postage, to all who comply with the usual rules safeguarding their return.

Terms of Admission. — Candidates for admission must be members of some evangelical church. Courses are opened to students of either sex.

Expenses. — No charge is made for tuition or room rent. Board can be obtained for $3.00 and upward per week. A limited amount of student aid is given to worthy men. All active young men can find employment in the city that will help them to pay necessary expenses. Preaching and missionary work in con- nection with the prosecution of studies are possible.

The sole purpose of Bangor Theological Seminary is to train men and women to become preachers, pastors and teachers, and missionaries. Its primary and all the supplementary means of instruction seek this one end. It is open to Christians of any denomination.

It offers to college graduates and to those who have received equivalent dis- cipline the opportunity to gain a thorough, modern, practical, ministerial training, and makes it possible for good students who are thus qualified to complete in three years the studies required for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

At the same time it makes provision for those who are belated in beginning their ministerial preparation and who have not had the privilege of the usual full and unbroken academic training. The studies are adapted to their needs, with the hope that they will be able, in a somewhat longer time, to cover the full course. A considerable experience has shown that there are many earnest young laymen in our churches whose early studies, practical experience and natural gifts qualify them to prosecute successfully theological studies. They often become most able and efficient ministers.

Attention is called to the Seminary's Library of over 30,000 volumes, well selected and steadily growing; to its fine gymnasium under a competent physical director; to Convocation Week, with its group of eminent lecturers and its gather- ing on this occasion from northern New England of a great company of working ministers.

Because of the adoption of the cooperative plan in the boarding-house, the necessary expenses of the student may be kept within very moderate bounds.

The Seminary year extends usually from the last Wednesday in September to the first Wednesday in June.

Requests for catalogues, letters of inquiry, or applications for admission should be addressed to the Corresponding Secretary, Professor Warren J. Moulton.

THE CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.

Chartered 1855.

The Chicago Theological Seminary conducts its work in affiliation with the University of Chicago, at the same time retaining its independence.

Location. — In July, 1916, the Seminary acquired a property which be- came headquarters at once, and which permits of enlargement to meet its physical needs. It is bounded on two sides by university grounds, and is four minutes' walk from the University Library and the Divinity buildings. It is ten minutes from either one of two large parks. Lake Michigan is fifteen minutes away. The location is all that can be desired.

Educational and Social Advantages. — The Seminary Faculty remains unchanged. Students have the advantages also of the University Library and courses of instruction. This plan gives unexcelled opportunities for general theological study, and for special training in such branches of work as religious education, missions, and social service. The visits to the University of the leading thinkers of the day, and the contact with a student body gathered from various parts of the world, afford a wide range of interests.

Finances. — Furnished rooms cost from $8.00 to $12.00 a quarter. Board is $4.00 a week and upwards. Tuition is free. There is a small incidental fee. Funds not to exceed $200 annually are available for approved students.

Degrees. — Regular students (who must have a standard college degree) become candidates for the degree of d.b. in course. The degrees of a.m., and of PH.D., may be secured from the University in accordance with its general regulations.

The Summer Quarter. — The Seminary has added the Summer Quarter to its school year. This is the University plan, and so a full list of courses is main- tained. Three benefits follow from this program. One may take his course with- out interruption, completing it in two and a third calendar years. Again, ministers may come to the Seminary for study during the time when church work is not pressing. Finally, the college requirement is waived during this quarter, thus enabling the minister who lacks foundation training to get uninterrupted study amidst congenial surroundings. The Summer Quarter is divided into two terms, either of which may be taken without the other.

The CoRREapoNDENCE School. — By a three-years' program of correspond- ence work from September to June, and residence work during each Summer Quar- ter, a minister who has had only a high-school course may get a balanced theological training without serious interruption to his pastorate, and at about one-third the expense of a regular course.

HARTFORD SEMINARY FOUNDATION

Incorporated, 1913.

William Douglas Mackenzie, d.d., ll.d.. President.

The Hartford Seminary Foundation is the corporate name for a group of interdenominational schools, including Hartford Theological Seminary, Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy and Kennedy School of Missions. Each school has its independent faculty, its distinct body of students and its individual curriculum. Taken together they provide scholarly and practical training not only for the Chris- tian ministry and the mission field but also for the educational work of the Chris- tian Church and for the various forms of lay service at home and abroad.

Courses in each school are taken by students in the other schools, some being required. For example, students in the Seminary and the School of Missions do their work in Pedagogy and Psychology in the School of Pedagogy, and all students of the Foundation receive instruction in Missions in the School of Missions.

The Aim of the Seminary is to prepare men for the ministry of the Gospel at home and abroad. It uses the resources of modern scholarship in the service of the evangelical faith in training for the various forms of ministerial work which the modern church demands.

The Curriculum is arranged on a system of grouped electives, thus offering either a balanced course or one closely specialized. Diplomas are granted to all students completing the regular course. The degree b.d. is given for the comple- tion with special credit of the regular course, including Hebrew and the presenta- tion of an approved thesis.

Graduate Study is strongly encouraged. The degrees s.t.m. and ph.d. are given under carefully defined conditions. Two fellowships of $600 each per year are offered, each for two years of foreign study; and two of $500 each, for one year of post-graduate study in residence.

The Equipment includes a library of 109,600 volumes and 55,000 pamphlets unusually rich in history and liturgies, a museum, a reading-room, gymnasium, music-room, etc.

Admission. — Candidates for admission must be members of some Christian church and graduates of some college, except in very special cases. The Seminary is open to women under certain conditions, but on the same basis of scholarship as men.

Expenses. — No charge is made for tuition or for rooms except a nominal fee of $25 to cover heat, light, etc. Board is provided under the care of the Stu- dents' Association at about $4.75 per week.

Scholarship aid is provided for those needing it, varying in amount according to grade standing.

The course is for one or two years.

It specializes in phonetics and language instruction, in missionary practice under the supervision of those who have been foreign missionaries, and in prepara- tion for the various fields and types of missionary service.

It has a phonetics laboratory and the remarkable missionary library, including special collections for different fields, belonging to the Foundation.

PACIFIC SCHOOL OF RELIGION, Berkeley, Cal. An Undenominational School of Congregational Origin. Opened for service, 1869; established at Berkeley, 1901.

FACULTY.

Charles Sumner Nash, a.m., d.d., President and Professor of Church Polity. William Frederic Bade, b.d., ph.d.. Professor of Old Testament Literature and

Semitic Languages. John Wright Buckham, d.d., Professor of Christian Theology. Harvey Hugo Guy, b.d., ph.d.. Professor of Missions and Comparative Religion. Raymond C. Brooks, d.d.. Professor of Homiletics. Chester Charlton McCown, b.d., ph.d.. Professor of New Testament Literature

History. Charles Edward Rugh, a.m., m.l.. Instructor in Religious Education. Richard Roy Perkins, ph.d.. Instructor in Pastoral and Social Service. Emma Willsey Tremblay, Instructor in E-xpression.

The Faculty is further strengthened by cooperation with Pres. Claiborne Milton Hill, d.d., and faculty of the Berkeley Baptist Divinity School, and Pres. Earl Morse Wilbur, m.a., d.d., and faculty of the Pacific Unitarian School.

Also, from the University of California, George Malcolm Stratton, ph.d.. Professor of Psychology; Charles Mills Gayley, litt.d., ll.d.. Professor of the English Language and Literature; Chauncey W. Wells, a.b.. Associate Pro- fessor of English Composition and Rhetoric; Alexis F. Lange, ph.d.. Professor of the Theory and Practice of Education; George P. Adams, ph.d. Associate Pro- fessor of PhUosophy; Jessica B. Peixotto, ph.d., Associate Professor of Sociology; William Popper, ph.d.. Associate Professor of Semitic Languages and Literature; Chas. H. Rieber, PH.D., Professor of Logic.

The School is located at Berkeley, the seat of the University of California. It is thus enabled to avail itself freelj^ of the advantages of this University, among the foremost in the United States, all of its courses being open, without cost, to the theological students. Courses by the professors of the University above named have been incorporated in the theological curriculum, these men forming, to all intents and purposes, an associate faculty. The Library of the University (over 350,000 volumes) and the special library of the school (14,000 volumes) afford large opportunities for special study. Instruction in medicine can be had in the Medical School of the University, and better preparation in the languages of China and Japan can be had than in the Orient itself. The climate is remarkably even, constantly cool, stimulating and favorable for study during the entire year, knowing nothing of debilitating spring changes or prostrating summer heats.

The main purpose is to train men for the practical ministry. The usual courses in Exegetical, Historical, Systematic and Practical ^Theology are provided. The prescribed courses, about two thirds of the whole, cover the fundamental parts of all departments. For the rest the student, so far as prepared, is allowed to choose freely among electives covering all recognized branches. These courses are ar- ranged in four groups — pastorate, religious education, social ser\'ice, missions. Eighty units of credit are the required minimum for graduation, a unit representing one class-room exercise a week for a half year. Hebrew and Greek are not required for the degree of b.d., but unusual facilities are furnished for acquiring them. The University of California has established an excellent course in modern charities.

The Seminary is open to students of every Christian denomination, to women as well as to men. A college degree is required for admission to regular standing as a candidate for the b.d. degree. Advanced courses are provided for graduate students. Special students may be received, as in the University, to such studies as they are qualified to pursue.

Regarding expenses and pecuniary aid, and for further information, address President Nash.

The next year begins .\ug. 19, 1918.

TALLADEGA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, Talladega, Alabama. Opened for service in 1872.

FACULTY AND INSTRUCTORS.

Rev. Frederick Sumner, a.m., President and Acting Dean. .

Rev. William Harvard Holloway, b.d., Professor of Applied Sociology and

Church Methods. Rev. Charles Arthur Jaquith, b.d., a.m.. Professor of Biblical Literature. Rev. David A. Leavitt, Professor of Theology and Church History.

Edwin Chalmers Silsby, ll.d.. Lecturer on the Civil Law. Prof. Carl Diton, Instructor in Church Music.

Maintenance and Relation to Talladega College. — Talladega The- ological Seminary is the one Theological Seminary maintained by the A.M. A. for the training of Negro ministers. It is a coordinate department of Talladega Col- lege, and by a system of cross-credits, students can take college and Seminary degrees in six years. Similar work in the colleges of the same rank as Talladega is accepted in the Seminary.

Aims. — The Seminary stands for character, scholarship, and service. It aims to develop leadership among a great and needy people, through long and severe training under competent guidance.

Courses of Study. — The Seminary maintains two distinct courses of study — the Theological and the Bible Institute. Courses are offered in Social Service Practice, Community Methods, Rural Economics, Music, Religious Education and Sunday School Methods. Emphasis is given to the study of the English Bible, pursued in a reverent spirit and according to modern historical methods.

Requirements for Admission and Graduation. — For the Theological Course, the four years of college are desirable. As this is not in all cases feasible, men having two years of college work are accepted. Upon completion of the course the degree of b.d. is given. Two years of Greek are offered to all who have had two years of preparatory Greek. For admission to the Bible Institute Course, the student should have completed the eighth grade, and when the course is finished he receives a certificate. The Seminary offers a correspondence course to non- resident pastors.

Equipment and General Advantages. — The Seminary is housed in a com- modious building, equipped with steam heat, electric lights^and|a"shower bath. Students have the advantage of the college and Seminary library, of college classes and student societies. All denominations are received on equal terms.

Expenses. — Tuition and rooms are free. Students pay for board, laundry and incidental fees. The bare necessities are not less than $115 a year. There are opportunities for self-help, and some student funds are available under certain conditions for those whose scholarship is satisfactory.

For further information, address F. A. Sumner, Acting Dean.

ANNUAL STATISTICS OF CHURCHES AND MINISTERS.

The following pages contain the statistics as collected in 1917 by the statistical secretaries of the several state organizations, and compiled for this publication under vote of the Executive Committee of the National Council. They are all of date Jan. 1, 1918, except that changes in pastorates are corrected, as far as possible, until Year-Book proof goes to press.

RULES OF COMPILATION.

1. To arrange everything in alphabetical order as far as possible.

2. To make new tables each year. When a church has failed to report, items of church membership are inserted. This is done that the approximate member- ship figures of churches not reporting may be included in the summaries and com- parative tables, thus minimizing the possibility of the real progress of the churches being unfairly diminished by failure of churches to report.

3. To verify all tables, making any necessary corrections in the effort to compile complete and accurate summaries.

4. The first name in the list of churches is usually the name of the place (town or city) in which the meeting-house is located. This is also the name of its post- office, unless followed by a name in heavy-faced type. In such cases the latter is the post-office and this emphatic type is used exclusively for names of POST-OFFICES. If this postal word is an adjective, it goes with the preceding name, e.g., "Newton West;" if itself a name, it supersedes the other, as "Newton, Auburndale."

MINOR EXPLANATIONS.

1. Any church given in brackets is one organized since Jan. 1; not included in the summary, but inserted for information.

2. Pastors installed by council are marked "i.," and pastors recognized by council are marked "r."; others in service are not marked, but are considered pastors, except where otherwise distinguished. Blanks in the column of "ministers " indicate no pastor at time Year-Book was published.

3. The tables are not a postal guide to the addresses of ministers; for addresses refer to Alphabetical Lists in the back of the book.

4. The two columns following the names of ministers in the tables of churches denote (1) the year of ordination, (2) the year of beginning service with that church.

1917] Statistics of Churches and Ministers. 47

5. Under church " Members," the number " Absent " are included in the figures under " Total." " Rev. " under " Removed " includes both discipline and roll revision. Under " Sunday Schools," " h " signifies a Home Department and " m " a Mission School connected with the Sunday school of the church, and the figures include total membership. Under " Men's Organizations," " x " means men's and boys,' " z " boys' organizations exclusively. In all other cases member- ship of men's organizations only are given.

ALPHABETICAL LISTS.

1. A star (*) in the TUphabetical List of Ministers denotes that the person so designated is not now reported to be a member of any association or conference of ministers or churches in the United States. A dagger (t) indicates that the address has not been verified. If the name of any Congregational minister is missing it is because ho has not been reported by any State registrar for two years. See explanatory note at head of list of Ordained Congregational Ministers in back of book.

2. The general alphabetical list includes only Congregational ministers having standing in associations. See additional lists for licentiates, pastors' assistants and others.
