THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

OF THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES OF THE UNITED STATES. Organized Oberlin, Ohio, Nov. 17, 1871. 2S7 Fourth Avenue, New York.

STATEMENT OF FAITH. Adopted at Kansas City, 191.S. The Congregational Churches of the United States, by delegates in National Council assembled, reserving all the rights and cherished memories belonging to this organization under its former constitution and declaring the steadfast alle- giance of the churches composing the Council to the faith which our fathers con- fessed, which from age to age has found its expression in the historic creeds of the Church universal and of this conmiunion, and affirming our loyalty to the basic principles of our representative democracy, hereby set forth the things most surely believed among us concerning faith, polity and fellowship.

faith " We believe in God the Father, Infinite in wisdom, goodness and love; and in Jesus Christ, His Son, our I^ord and Sa-vaour, who for us and our salvation lived and died and rose again and liveth evermore; and in the Holy Spirit, who taketh of the things of Christ and revealeth them to us, renewing, comforting and inspir- ing the souls of men. We are united in striving to know the will of God as taught in the Holy Scriptures, and in our purpose to walk in the ways of the Lord, made known or to be made known to us. We hold it to be the mission of the Church of Christ to proclaim the gospel to all mankind, exalting the worship of the one true God, and laboring for the progress of knowledge, the promotion of justice, the reign of peace, and the realization of human brotherhood. Depending, as did our fathers, upon the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, we work and pray for the transformation of the world into the kingdom of God, and we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness and the life everlasting.

polity " We believe in the freedom and responsibility of the individual soul, and the right of private judgment. We hold to the autonomy of the local church and its independence of all ecclesiastical control. We cherish the fellowship of the churches united in district, state and national bodies, for counsel and cooperation in mat- ters of common concern.

THE WIDER FELLOWSHIP

" While affirming the liberty of our churches, and the validity of our ministry we hold to the unity and catholicity of the Church of Christ, and will unite with ail its branches in hearty cooperation; and will earnestly seek, so far as in us lies, that the prayer of our Lord for His disciples may be answered, that ' they all may be one'."

PURPOSE

" The purpose of the National Council is to foster and express the substantial unity of the Congregational churches in faith, polity and work; to consult upon and devise measures and maintain agencies for the promotion of their common interests; to cooperate with any corporation or body under control of or affiliated with the Congregational churches, or any of them; and to do and to promote the work of the Congregational churches of the United States in their national, inter- national, and interdenominational relations."

MEMBERS

" The voting membership of the National Council is made up as follows: ' The churches in each District Association shall be represented by one delegate. Each Association having more than ten churches shall be entitled to elect one ad- ditional delegate for each additional ten churches or major fraction thereof. The churches in each State Conference shall be represented by one delegate. Each Conference having churches whose aggregate membership is more than ten thou- sand shall be entitled to elect one additional delegate for each additional ten thousand members or major fraction thereof. States having associations but no conference, or vice versa, shall be entitled to their full representation '."

The Secretary and the Treasurer are members ex officiis of the Council.

Provision is made for honorary and corresponding membership.

MEETINGS

Meetings of the National Council are held biennially, usually in October, the next meeting occurring in October, 1925, at Washington, D. C.

4 Congregational Year- Book. [1923

NATIONAL COUNCIL ORGANIZATION

As the name indicates the National Council is a voluntary organization of Congregational churches of the United States for the purpose of conference regard- ing their common interests.

The central function of the National Council is to provide a gathering for useful discussion of questions of concern to the churches and so to furnish inspira- tion for increased devotion and effectiveness.

Associated with the function of discussion and inspiration is that of the elec- tion of officers and agencies for carrying on the common work of the churches.

Specifically the Council provides for gathering and publishing annually the statistics of the churches as given in this Year-Book.

For the purpo.se of stimulating the fellowship of the churches and of coordinat- ing the various agencies, an office is maintained, with a Secretary supported by such associates and assistants as seem to be needful.

Between the sessions of the Council an Executive Committee chosen by the Council attends to details of business, arranging for the meetings and suhtiiilting programs for the same. This Committee is also the agency for correlating the activities of the several Commissions.

THE CORPORATION FOR THE NATIONAL COUNCIL The Council has caused to be incorporated under the laws of Connecticut a Corporation consisting of members elected by the National Council for the purpose of holding the property of the Council, any trust funds committed to the Council and any funds or property entrusted to it by any Congregational church or organi- zation. The Corporation now holds in addition to smaller funds belonging to the Council the Pilgrim Memorial Fund for the endowment of the pension system under the Annuity Fund for fJongregational Ministers.

This Corporation is prepared to serve with full dependability any of our Congregational interests requiring a trustee. <See page 9.)

THE BOARDS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

The Council has caused to be created three administrative boarfls which are now responsible to it, namely, the Congregational Board of Ministerial Relief, the Annuity Fvmd for Congregational Ministers, and the Congregational Foundation for Education. For statements of the organization and activities of these bf)ards see pages 10 to 12.

THE COMMISSIONS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL Ad interim committees of the National Council, except the Nominating Com- mittee and the Executive Committee, are designated as Commissions.

The Commission on Missions is the only permanent Commission of the Coun- cil. Its functions are to correlate the administration of the several missionary societies and boards affiliated with the Counfil in the interest of economy and efficiency, arid to j^rornote thf; comrnrjn iq)\»:n\ for benevolent funds, particularly as representef] in the missionary aj^ijorlionnient. Through this Commission it is possible for the CVjuncil to keep in touch with the wide range of benevolent activity of the Congregational churches. (See page L3.)

Constitutionally each of the other Commissions of the National Couuf'il are temporary, apj>ointed for a two-year term, and not to be continued except by vote of the Council. Practically sevftral Commissions have been continued regularly and they have corne to be regarded as permanent institutions. For example the Commission on Evangelism and Devotional Life maintains an office with an employed staff, and does a work which commends it to the churches as essential to their welfare. (See page 14.)

The Commission on Social Service is associated with the Social Service Dr-part- ment of the Education Society and with the Rural Life Department of the Exten- sion Boards, and has come to be regarded as a permanent agency of the denomina- tion.

The full list of Commis-sions is given on pages 6 to 8.

MISSIONARY SOCIETIES AND THE NATIONAL COUNCIL All but one of the Missionary Societies antedate in organization the National Council itself. They were organized as self-prirpfjtuating corporations. Techni- cally this is still true, but practically all the general Missionary .Societies have as their controlling membership the membershi|; of the National Council itsr;lf. Meeting in separate sessions unrler the direction of their own officers, the member- sHipof each of these Societies is in large majority identical with that of the National ^Council, so that in matters of cornnion cojicern action taken by tlie National Coun-

1923]

National Council

cil may usuiilly be taken by each of the societies without further discussion, thus piving unity of operation in matters of common concern and making the Missionary Societies the instruments of the churches themselves.

Associated with tiie general boards, and through this connection, with the National Council there are sciiarate woman's organizations. For foreign missions the Woman's Boards of Missions, organized tuider three corporations in the East, in the Interior and on the Pacific Coast, and in the several states Woman's Home Missionary Unions or Associations affiliated with the Home Missionary Federa- tion, for the purpose of cooperating with the homeland agencies.

The Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers is for the purpose of provid- ing protection in the form of annuities against the needs of old age, and also against death and permanent total disability during the active years of ministry.

The resources of the Fund are derived from paj-ments made by the minister himself and from contributions of churches and individuals, including the distri- butable income of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund.

Membership under the Expanded Plan offers an annuity in proportion to the amount to the member's credit at age sixty-five, or up to age sixty-eight if he so elects. Dues are based upon the annual salary. The member's annual share in the distributable income of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund is credited after the first year of membership on the member's dues.

100 East 42d Street, New York.

Established by vote of the National Council, Columbus, Ohio, October 13, 1917, as the foundation of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers which supervises the collection of subscriptions and transmits payments to the corpora- tion for the National Council.

The first minimum objective of $5,000,000 was increased by vote of the Na- tional Council, in 1921, to $8,000,000.

The principal of this fund is held in perpetuity by the Corporation for the National Council to be invested and reinvested, and the distributable income, as determined by said Corporation, is turned over to the Board of Trustees of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers to be used to aid in providing Old Age Annuities and Disabtlity Annuities for Congregational ministers who become members of the Annuity Fund and Death Benefits for their widows and minor orphan children.

PURPOSE To make closer, more sympathetic and more mutually helpful the relations of the churches and educational institutions of our fellowship, the National Council created the Congregational Foundation for Education with the following purposes:

1. To promote the ideals of the churches of the Congregational fellowship through institutions of secondary and higher education which possess those ideals and share in that fellowship.

2. To make available the resources of our fellowship for the counsel and en- couragement of these institutions in the realization of our common purposes.

3. To establish a permanent fund, the income of which shall be used to aid the upbuilding and maintenance of these institutions.

4. To provide an agency for the study of the educational problems of these institutions and for the administration and distribution of these funds in such ways as shall best further the common interests and ideals of these institutions and our churches, by the maintenance in these institutions of high standards of educa- tional efficiency and moral and religious purpose.

POLICY

In seeking to meet the needs and requests of institutions, the Foundation will have in mind:

1. A careful appreciation of all the values represented in these institutions.

2. The fidelity shown by such institutions in the matter of trusts committed to them.

3. The relation of these institutions to such a general distribution of educa- tional privileges as in scope and geographical location shall both effectively and economically serve the wide interests of Christian education.

4. The approval of local and state Congregational bodies which shall be a necessary condition of assistance.

5. The development of promotional facilities in the Foundation which shall be available for cooperating institutions.

In view of the present emergency in many institutions and the inadequacy of funds immediately available, the Foundation will encourage the following policy for the immediate future:

1. The establishment of cooperative relations between institutions where practicable.

2. The maintenance of certain institutions as Junior Colleges such arrange- ment being witho\it prejudice as to the future.

3. The develfjpinent of such a system of transfers and scholarships as may help to relicive the present lack of adequate funds.

functions The several missionary organizations are related to the churches through identical membership, namely, that of the National Council. Naturally there are many details of interrelationship. The Commission on Missions is the agency for this interrelationship. Its work is two-fold:

1. Fostering economy and efficiency. The Commission is charged with the duty of recommending processes whereby missionary work may be administered with the greatest economy and at the same time with the highest efficiency. Asso- ciated with this function is that of serving as a court of reference for the decision of questions arising between two or more societies.

2. The promotion of incojne. Since 1921 the largest activities of the Com- mission have concerned the raising of missionary funds. For two years this was done in the name of the National Council. At the 1923 meeting of the Council and of the Societies the members of the Commission on Missions were elected by each of the missionary boards as its representative agency for presenting what is known as " the common appeal " for $5,000,000 per annum for our total mis- sionary work.

organization

1. Membership. The Commission consists of fifty-seven voting members nominated one by each of the national societies or groups; one by each self-sup- porting state and one by each of several groups of states indicated in the by-laws of the National Council, with sixteen members at large, and the Moderator and Secretary of the National Council ex officiis. With them sit the chief promotional Secretaries of the several Societies, and once each year the Superintendents of the State Conferences.

2. The Executive Committee. The details of the work of the Commission are carried forward by a carefully selected Executive Committee, with whose opera- tions the entire Commission is kept in touch by the circulation of the minutes of each meeting.

3. The Cabinet. For carrying out the plans of the Commission a Cabinet has been constituted consisting of one Secretary representing each of the Societies or groups, together with two State Superintendents and the Promotional Secre- tary of the Commission.

4. Other Committees. Chief among the other committees of the Commis- sion are the Survey Committee, a Committee on Supplementary Gifts, and for the present biennium a Committee on Missionary Organization charged with studying the questions of further mergers of societies; the feasibility of a joint board for promoting income; missionary literature, and the question of the possible con- solidation of the missionary magazines. Other committees are appointed as needed.

processes

1. Meetings. The Commission meets ordinarily but once a year. This meeting takes place in connection with the midwinter gathering of the Church Extension Boards, thus economizing in time and travel expenses. The Executive Committee and the Cabinet meet as occasion requires.

2. Literature. One of the important functions of the Commission on Mis- sions is the publication of literature setting forth the entire missionary enterprise of the Congregational churches.

3. Field Work. Under the general direction of the Secretary of Promotion a small force of field workers directly employed by the Commission, with the cooperation of the Secretarial forces of the Societies and working through the state organizations, is developing through actual contact with the churches those processes which seem to be most effective for disseminating missionary information and stimulating benevolent contributions. This process is so intimately related to the financial operations of the local churches that this latter interest is com- bined with the former, thus helping the churches to financial strength.

information The local church may ordinarily secure information directly from its own state ofRce. State workers should address the Commission on Missions at its New York Office. Persons not knowing to whom to write locally may communicate with the Commission directly.

object

This Commission is composed of nineteen ministers, five laymen and four women elected by the National Council to hold office for two years. It is charged by the National Council to do two things:

FIRST: To bring before the churches the denominational program of evangel- ism and devotional life based on the following principles:

1. That the chief object of the Christian Church is to win men to Christ and to train them in the worship of God and in the service of their fellows.

2. That the pastor of the local congregation is the spiritual leader of the church, and that upon him rests the responsibility of initiating an aggressive program for winning men in his church and of directing that program along practical lines.

3. That the pastor should avail himself of the experience of other pastors and apply to his own work what is of most value to his particular situation.

4. That the pastor can aid the work of his church by selecting effective helpers from his membership, training them to assist in the work of the church and directing them in their efforts.

5. That the church should look upon its opportunity of leading the young people into the worship and service of the church as the prime object of its religious education program.

6. That the church is responsible for the cultivation of the devotional life of all the people in the church, in the home and in private meditation.

SECOND: To make a continuous study of methods used by effective churches; to make them known to all pastors; and to provide such other helps to evangelism and devotion as are within its powers.

PROGRAM

The work of the Commission is grouped around two centers:

I. The Program of Fall Activities.

1. The Fall Rally, to reinterest the members of the church and to enlist new people in the worship and service of the church.

2. Church Visitation of the entire parish.

3. Church attendance campaign.

II. The Pre-Easter or Lenten Program.

1. The Program of Preaching. This season is especially appropriate for the presentation from the pulpit of the great fundamental Christian truths, that the people within our churches may understand the foundations of faith, and that those without the church may be led to accept the Christian interpre- tation of life and join in the worship and service of the church.

2. The Pastor's Training Class, which has for its object the leading of young people to study Christian truth and under the pastor's influence to accept Christ as the personal Saviour.

3. Training Personal Workers. The pastor may multiply himself by en- listing and training consecrated workers to cooperate with him in the service of winning others to the Christian life.

4. The Deepening of the Devotional Life. That the people may have a new loyalty to Christ and a new determination to manifest his love in the life of the world, increased Bible study, meditation and prayer should be encouraged.

5. The Easter In-Gathering,

The American Board is the oldest foreign missionary society in America, hav- ing been organized June 29, 1810, at Bradford, Mass., during the session of the General Association of Massachusetts. Its charter was received from the General Court of Massachusetts in 1812. Its object, as stated in its charter, was " for the purpose of propagating the gospel in heathen lands by supporting missionaries and advancing the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures." From the beginning it has sought the cooperation of all Christians, without distinction of sect. Various religious denominations have withdrawn from its support, believing they could labor for the same great object more efficiently through denominational boards, but the American Board, still receiving aid from churches and individuals of different names, is in the main supported by Congregationalists.

The one hundred and thirteenth year of the Board was one of much encourage- ment. There was no addition to the deficit although it was feared until the end. Increased costs in the field demanded increased appropriations; but the loyalty to the Board of the churches and many individuals swept defeat into victory.

The work in Turkey is for a time somewhat disorganized, but thirteen stations are occupied and the prospects are increasingly satisfactory. The door to the Mohammedan world is swinging open. India is seething with reform movements and is coming to selfconsciousness, and is in many ways more receptive to the Chris- tian message. China is divided politically, but is united in its desire for modern education and the best things of the West, including more of its religion. Japan, in chastened mood, is coming forward into the brotherhood of nations and is more generous than ever in its recognition of the value of Christianity for the national and individual life. Mexico is in revolution again, but the masses yearn for a truer faith. The spirit of independence is in the Philippines expressing itsc f happily in a movement for a self-directed church. The opportunity for missionary work was never greater. Even the smaller fields are feeling the pulse of a new life and a larger hope.

Men as well as money are needed to maintain the work. Forty-eight mission- aries were appointed in 1923, but the numbers have grown smaller. The Boards are seeking 33 men and 49 women, in all 82 new workers, to recruit the ranks and to ipore adequately meet the demands gf the diversified task,

FIELD

extends from the Atlantic Coast to the Hawaiian Islands, and Porto Rico. It includes in the South, the Negroes and the Whites, both in the mountains and the lowlands; in the West, the Indians; on the Pacific Coast, the Chinese, Japanese and Hindus; and in Porto Rico and Hawaii, those of various races. It conducts educational work among the Mexicans in New Mexico

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 in- tellectual life is essential to secure to any race influence and power. This the Association recognizes and provides for. In its normal schools hundreds of teach- ers are trained for the public schools. This training of teachers is of supreme im- portance 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, acadeinic, 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. There are also secondary and elementary schools to the number of 25. The total enrollment in all the institutions of The American Missionary Association last year was 9,493.

CHURCH WORK

The value of Congregational churches in the field occupied Ijy 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 mis- sions 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 intelli- gence and leadership. An emphasis of the dignity and sacredness of church mem- bership is thus impressed.

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

CITY EXTENSION SOCIETIES

The principle of home rule is extended in Congregationalism to cities through the instrumentality of city organizations known by various names, such as Con- gregational Unions, City Missionary Societies, Congregational Church Extension Societies, etc.

Under the older practice the individual church in a growing city usually with- out suggestion from outside undertook to establish branches or new churches, furnishing financial assistance and frequently personal leadership. This practice is still followed to some extent, especially in New England, in some of whose cities there are strong churches holding funds for this purpose.

Under the more recent developments a city organization having aflfiliation with the state organization comparable to that of the afiiliation of the State Conference with the National Home Missionary Society undertakes to express the common life of the group of churches in a given city, particularly in regard to the extension of Congregational enterprises. This Society surveys the city; determines where new churches are needed; provides assistance in securing property and in sup- porting pastors; gives aid to weak churches, and furnishes all kinds of advice and helpful service. Such societies are found in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Colum- bus, Hartford, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Haven, New York, Peoria, Philadelphia, Seattle, Springfield, St. Louis, St. Paul, Toledo, Worcester, and perhaps in other cities.

Correspondence regarding the work of these societies may ordinarily be held with the State Conference Office. The following societies have paid executive secretaries, to whom correspondence may be addressed:

THE COUNCIL OF WOMAN'S BOARDS OF FOREIGN MISSIONS

Chairman. — Mrs. Ernest A. Evans.

Secretary. — Miss Edith Woolsey, 250 Church St., New Haven, Conn.

The Council of Woman's Boards of Foreign Missions is the method of coopera- tion between the three Woman's Boards of Foreign Missions for the denomination. The three Boards are The Woman's Board of Missions, The Woman's Board of Missions of the Interior, and the Woman's Board of Missions for the Pacific; incorporated under the statutes of Massachusetts, Illinois and California, respec- tively. They have divided the country for educational and promotional work among the women and children of the churches, the first serving the Atlantic states from Maine to Florida, the second the states from Ohio to Wyoming and Montana, inclusive, and the third the Pacific Coast states with Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. These boards determine their own budgets, the mission- aries and work for which they will be responsible and the amount of money they will appropriate each year for their work. Their missionaries receive appointment from the Prudential Committee of the American Board and are enrolled as its missionaries. The three Woman's Boards unite with the American Board in the publication of The Missionary Herald.

To maintain, in the city of Boston, a Congregational House; to care for and perpetuate a library of books, pamphlets, and manuscripts, and a collection of portraits and relics of the past; to promote friendly intercourse and cooperation among Congregational ministers and churches, and with other denominations; and to do whatever else — within the limits of its charter — shall serve to illustrate Congregational history and promote the general interests of Congregational churches.

membership

The membership of the Association consists of Congregationalists who have been elected by the Directors at any regular meeting. There are two classes of members — Life and Annual. Annual members pay an annual assessment of $1.00. The payment of $10 at one time by a member constitutes him a life member. All moneys received for membership are applied exclusively to the increase of the library.

the congregational house Was erected in 1898 (costing over $700,000) to house the Congregational Library, provide rooms at low cost for 14 Congregational Missionary Organiza- tions, the Congregational Book Store, Pilgrim Hall for gatherings, and Committee Rooms, and to promote the general interests of Congregational churches. Bequests and Annuities are solicited in order that the House may be freed from mortgage indebtedness and the Association thus enabled to furnish our Missionary Organiza- tions with business offices at minimum cost.

THE CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OF PASTORAL SUPPLY

615 Congregational House, Boston

Directors. — Rev. Watson L. Phillips, d.d., Chairman; Sylvanus G. Morse, Treasurer; Appleton P. Williams, Auditor; Rev. Thompson E. Ashby; Rev. Gideon A. Burgess; Rev. Frederick E. Emrich, d.d.; Judge Warner A. Graham; A. Tyson Hancock; C. E. House; George F. Kendall; Rev. Claude A. McKay; Pres. Warren .J. Moulton, d.d.; Rev. D. Augustine Newton, d.d.; Rev. J. E. Newton; Rev.

WOODWORTH, 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 di- rect 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 or 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 supplying 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.

BOSTON SEAMAN'S FRIEND SOCIETY, INC.

Office: 306 Congregational House, Boston.

Organized 1827. Incorporated 1829. Reorganized 1922.

On recommendation of the Commission on Missions the Society was reorgan- ized in 1922 and became the sole representative for sailor work of the New England Congregational churches, and is therefore entitled to a regular apportionment from them. The Society's affairs are administered by the representatives named below, chosen by the New England Conferences. The former organization trans- ferred to the new Corporation more than $200,000 worth of real estate and other assets, including land and buildings in Boston and Vineyard Haven and invested funds. The reorganization plans include the extension of the work to first cover all New England and ultimately to become national in its scope.

The Society is devoted to the material, social and religious welfare of seamen of all nations. Has finely equipped Bethels at 287 Hanover St., Boston and at Vineyard Haven, and reading rooms at Tarpaulin Cove, and Cape Cod Canal. The Society provides dormitory accommodations, reading and recreation rooms, pool tables, and games of many kinds, a restaurant, a canteen, shower baths, postal and banking facilities, and a check room for seamen's baggage. Free entertain- ments and religious services are held weekly. Sick, destitute and shipwrecked sailors are cared for.

THE CONGREGATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WOMEN

Founded, 1909.

President of Board of Managers. — J. W. F. Davies, d.d. Dean of the School. — Margaret Taylor, a.m.

Purpose. — The training of women for religious work, especially for positions of leadership as Church Assistants, Directors of Religious Education, Student Secretaries, and workers in other lines of Christian social service. Young women from this School are now serving in eighteen different states and four foreign coun- tries. The denomination recognizes that these trained women constitute one of its valuable resources. ,,

Requirements for Admission. — For entrance to the one-year course a college degree is necessary. Completion of a course in an accredited high school is re- quired for admission to the three-year course. For graduation an average of six- teen class hours a week must be maintained. Church school workers and others interested in special phases of religious education may enter without meeting all these requirements and may take fewer hours. Such students are classed as specials and are not in line for graduation.

The School year is divided into three quarters of about eleven weeks each. It is possible for one to enter upon the course at the beginning of any quarter with- out serious inconvenience. The School keeps its dormitory open during the sum- mer quarter of the University and Seminary and credits certain courses which may be taken there.

Expense. — A registration fee of $10.00 is paid upon entrance. This serves also as matriculation fee in Chicago Theological Seminary and the University of Chicago, where some courses are taken. The graduation fee is $5.00. Tuition is $60.00 a year, payable $20.00 each quarter. Board and room are provided at $7.00 a week. Some scholarship aid is given.

Location. — The School is advantageously situated on Dorchester Avenue at Fifty-eighth Street, three blocks from Chicago Theological Seminary and near the University of Chicago. It is easily reached from downtown by surface, elevated, and Illinois Central suburban lines.

Faculty and Curriculum. — The School maintains a small but efficient faculty, offering courses in English, Psychology, Economics, Sociology, Bible, Church History, Comparative Religion, Christian Fundamentals, Secretarial Studies, Public Speaking, Story-telling, Dramatization, Music, and Handwork. Besides these courses, others in Religious Education are taken in Chicago Theological Seminary and the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. The libraries of the University are open to Training-school students.

Chicago is an ideal laboratory for the student of social conditions. The School has ready access to the various philanthropic and industrial centers.

The Iowa Congregational Hospital is the only hospital established by our de- nomination in the United States. The first building was dedicated in November, 1917. It was built at a cost of about $100,000. It is modern and scientific in construction and equipment, making it an up-to-date hospital.

The Nurses' Training School is accredited by the state. It has a three-year course. Thirty young women are in training. Young women desiring to enter the training school should write the President regarding entrance requirements.

The Hospital Association owns commodious grounds with ample room for a number of new buildings, which are greatly needed. A new building for patients should be built at once, also a nurses' home.

A gift of $25,000 for the nurses' home would give the privilege of naming the building as a memorial to the donor or the one designated by the donor. Here is a splendid opportunity to erect a fine memorial hospital building or nurses' home to the memory of some loved one and do a service for the relief of the suffering for generations to come.

Bequests intended for the hospital should be made payable to the Iowa Con- gregational Hospital Association.

For information regarding the hospital, address Rev. Charles Parsons, President, 328 Frankel Building, Des Moines, la.

To this list of Seminary Faculty, there may be added for academic advantages both the Faculty of the Divinity School and also other of the Faculties of the University of Chicago whose work contributes to one's education for Christian service.

A recent mail brought two interesting letters. One writer plans to come to the Seminary " more because of a general interest in religion and Christianity than because of a specific service." He is not sure in what department his greatest interest would lie. Another asks about service that is definitely Christian, and refers to " the advisability of executive work." These letters suggest the dual task of the Seminary, — namely, to help men to discover themselves in respect to technical Christian work, and to fit them to do well their chosen tasks.

The nine years since the Seminary affiliated with the University have worked out that fine cooperation which secures to students the extensive advantages of the larger institution and the particular advantages within its own group which make for fellowship, the enrichment of the spiritual life, and the development of social responsibility. The opening of the new dormitory, located at the main entrance of the University Campus, makes it possible to house the entire student body together under one roof.

The City of Chicago and its environs afford superior advantages for self-sup- port and for the study of social problems. The coming of Dr. Arthur E. Holt, for five years Social Service Secretary of the Congregational Churches, to the Chair of Social Ethics marks a significant advance in this particular.

The Seminary year is divided into four Quarters of about eleven weeks each. The number of faculties and the arrangement of courses is such that one can enter upon a course of study or pick up a broken one at the beginning of any Quarter without serious inconvenience. The Summer Quarter, beginning about the twen- tieth of June and continuing through August, is divided into two terms; the courses are so arranged that either term makes a unit, and both together make a complete Quarter.

The connection between the Seminary and the undergraduate department of the University is such that the last year of the college work may be identical with the first year of the Seminary. The arrangement of term periods, of class schedules, and of correspondence work affords a flexibility enabling men of various ages, experiences, and responsibilities to get their training with the maximum economy of time and money.

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 various forms of ministerial work.

The Curriculum requires a definite number of class hours for graduation. These must include certain general topics in theology. Beyond these, freedom of election is allowed, under faculty supervision. Opportunity is thus afforded for a broadly generalized or a closely specialized training. Diplomas are granted to all students completing the regular course. The degree b.d. is given for the completion with special credit of the regular course, and the presentation of an approved thesis.

The Graduate School of Theology provides the opportunity for college gradu- ates to get adequate training for Christian service in the ministry of the church, secretaryship of the Young Women's Christian Association or Young Men's Christian Associations at home or abroad, for leadership in religious education at home or abroad and for Christian social service in city or country communities. Throughout its history, though independent by charter, Oberlin has sustained the most friendly relationship with Congregational churches and work.

Equipment. — In addition to Council Hall, in which are located the theological class rooms and dormitory accommodation for sixty students, the School of The- ology has at its disposal the entire equipment of Oberlin College. The College Library contains 250,000 bound volumes and an equal number of pamphlets and all the current social and religious magazines. Approximately 100,000 of the volumes in the library are on theological and closely related subjects. The College Gymnasium, Chapel and Men's Building are also available for the School of The- ology use.

Terms of Admission. — College graduation and church membership are required. Men and women of any denomination, race, or color are admitted. This year we find ten denominations are represented in the student body.

Degrees in Course. — The degree of Bachelor of Divinity is granted at the completion of the three-years' theological course, including 90 semester hours of work, nearly one-half of which is elective, chosen from a broad range of courses. The degree of Master of Arts may be earned by one year of graduate study in theo- logical or college courses. The advanced degree of Master of Theology (S. T.M.) is granted after a fourth year of theological study completed with high credit.

Special Assets. — Students in the Graduate School of Theology have the advantage of being a part of the student body of one of the most cosmopolitan colleges in America. They share in the university pri^dleges and the scholarly standards and fine Christian ideals of Oberlin. Oberlin is a center of unique and broad missionary interests, and has contributed largely to the missionary forces of the Congregational Church. The Oberlin Conservatory of Music is one of the leading conservatories of the world, and makes available unusual musical advan- tages. Oberlin is equipped with a splendid Art Building, a fine Art Library which includes a collection of over 60,000 stereopticon art slides. Living expense is moderate and the generous scholarships and prizes with the opportunities for self- help in the commimity make self-support comparatively easy.

For catalogue and further information address the Dean.

The School is situated adjacent to the University of California, whose courses are open to students of this school upon certain conditions. The Libraries of the University and of the school afford large opportunities for special study. Instruc- tion 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.

The Pacific School trains for the practical ministry. The courses are ar- ranged in four groups — pastorate, religious education, social service, missions.

The School 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 stu- dents. Special students may be received, as in the University, to such studies as they are qualified to pursue.

The next year begins August 18, 1924.

The College is openly and frankly interdenominational in its attitude and appeal, and students of various denominations are now in attendance upon equal terms. It was organized, however, by Congregationalists and took over under- graduate and foreign work of the Chicago Theological Seminary; its Faculty and Board of Directors are nearly all Congregationalists. It depends primarily for sympathy and financial support on the denomination responsible for its origin and ongoing.

The College is centrally located, adjoining the New First Congregational Church, which offers unusual opportunity for church work and worship. High school graduation is the standard requirement for entrance. The usual seven- year college and seminary curriculum is systematically abridged into four years by selecting the most essential theological and as many college studies as can be provided in the time available.

The ten major branches included are as follows:

(1) The history, contents and use of the English Bible.

(2) Preaching, Evangelism and Pastoral Ministry.

(3) The History of Religion among the Nations.

(4) Christian Faith and Theology.

(5) Religious Education and Social Christianity.

(6) Ancient and Modern History.

(7) English Language and Literature.

(8) The Na tural Sciences.

(9) Psychology, Ethics, Philosophy.

(10) Ecclesiastical and Civic Organizations, Denominational Polity, Missions.

The College offers the degree of Bachelor of Theology (th.b.) to those fully qualified who complete the course in a satisfactory manner and present a thesis of not less than five thousand words on a subject acceptable to the committee on graduation. In no case will the College bestow its degree upon students who have not met the requirements — a high school course or its full equivalent, a satisfactory completion of the course of study, and an acceptable thesis.

THE MINISTRY

MINISTERIAL STANDING

One becomes a Congregational minister in good standing by being ordained to the Congregational ministry and being received into membership of an associa- tion of Congregational churches and ministers. Ordination is ordinarily at the hand of a Congregational council which may or may not be made up of representa- tives of the churches of the district association. Ministers are also received from other denominations.

In practice candidates for ordination are expected to have received a theo- logical training consisting of a three years' seminary course or its equivalent, following a college education.

THE SEMINARY

The theological seminaries and schools of religion associated with the Con- gregational churches are for the most part quite independent of the actual control of those churches, Chicago Theological Seminary being an exception to this general rule. The relationship between the seminaries and the churches, however, is the vital relationship of being members of the same family. Their origin is found in the fellowship of the Congregational churches; their financial foundations have come largely from it; their students are recruited from the membership of the churches and their graduates find their life work in the churches. More and more there is a broadening base in all denominations resulting in the presence in most seminaries of representatives of many denominations.

THE COMMISSION ON RECRUITING

The importance of recruiting an adequate number of the right kind of young men and women for all kinds of Christian work led the National Council to appoint a Commission on Recruiting for Life Service. It is the function of this Commis- sion to keep before the churches the need of constantly holding before the young the challenge of Christian life work.

The Commission works in cooperation with the Young People's and Students' Department of the Education Society. Correspondence may be had with the Secretai-y of that Department, Rev. Harry T. Stock, 14 Beacon Street, Boston, or with the Chairman of the Commission, Rev. Ernest Bourner Allen, 400 Lake Street, Oak Park, 111.
