Physicians have prescribed over 600,000 Packages of

VITALIZED PHOS-PHITES,

And have found this BRAIN AND NERVE FOOD indispensable in the treatment of diseases of Debility and in all Nervous Diseases.

Physlciaus prescribe It because they know Its composition: it ia not a secret remedy : the formula is printed on every label.

It restores the energy lost by nervousness, weakness or indigestion ; it relieves lassitude and neuralgia ; refreshes the nerves tired by worry, excitement, or excessive sensitiveness ; strengthens a failing memory, and gives renewed vigor where there has been nervous exhaustion or debility.

It aids wonderfully in the mental and bodily grow/th of infants and children. Under its use the teeth come easier, the bones grow? better, the skin plumper and smoother; the brain acquires more readily, and sleeps more sweetly, An Ill-fed brain learns no lessons, and is excusable if peevish, It gives a happier and better childhood,

" No college studuat, whether young gentleman or lady, no anxious, diligent school-girl, can accomplish what the hrain aspires to without the assistance of this Brain Food. With its aid, study is easy and memory retentive." — W. E. Sueldon, Natioiud Journal of Education.

"No rapidly growing infant or child can develop into intellectual or physical beauty without a euflBciency of Phos-phites." — Puop. Percy.

It is infliftpensable to Nursing Mothers and to Growing Babes and Clhildren. Is a Tonic to the SraiUt and builds up Worn-out Nerves. It cures Sleeplessness and Neuralgia,

"I can cordially recommend, to this class of people, — writers, teachers, preachers, thinkers, — DR. F. CROSBY'S VITALIZED PIIOS-PniTES, because I have tried them myself. Before I could conscientiously say anything about them, 1 said to Dr. Crosby : ' I am suffering from over- work of the nerves; if the compound is fitted fur anj- one's case, it is for mine.'

" I have taken it, and feel that it has done me a decided benefit. I know I suffer from over- employment of the brain on my three papers; I know I waste away ray nerve material. This compound is fitted to re-supply this waste — that is the reason it Is useful.

" It is especially useful in Indigestion, Debility, Sleeplessness, etc. I myself already feel the beneficial effects I have derived.

Dei'Aktmknt of Thkoi.ogy. — Instruction is given by the President, iive Pro- fessors, !ind eminent speciiil lecturers appointe I from year to year. Students have coiiiniodious furnished nxuns in the new and attractive buildiui,' Council Hall, whi(di is devoted exclusively to tlie uses of tliis department. They huve fiee access to all the classes, libraries, and cabinets of the other departments. Fifteen weeks during the summer can be spent in home-missionary or other labur, with compensa- tion, withotit interference witli studies The demand for such labor is greater than the supply. During the last half of the course, the students have frequent oppor- tunities tosufiply the ncigliboring churches. Students who nt^ed pecuniary assistance receive the usual aid from the American Education Society and such appropriations from special funds under the contnd of tne Semiuiiry as will enable them, with reasonable prudence and economy, to pursue their course without interruption or embarrassment.

Depaktment of Philosophy and thk Ahts. — Twelve Professors give instruc- tion in this department. The Classical Course embraces the studies 'of our best colleges, so arranged that after the Freshmati year the studetit may, by elective studies, give a classical or scientific character to his course, receiving the degree of A, B. at its close. For eutrmce, three years of Latin, two of Greek, and one term of Geometry are necessary. The Literary Course is like the above, with the exception that no (ireek and less Latin ate required.

Department of Pkepakatory Instruction. — Comprises a Classical School, which prepares students for the best colleges, and an English school, which offers the advant.iges of a first-class academy to those who can spend but a little lime at school. Instruction is given by the Principal of this department, seven tutors, and about twenty-five special teachers.

Expenses in all de]>artments for tuition, incidi-ntals, and board are very low. Students wh > do not wish to take a full course can se'ect such studies in any depart- ment as they are prepared to pursue to advantage. Both sexes admitted. Location healthtul, and religious influences the best. No drinking saloons in town. Circulars with full information sent free by J. B. T. MARSH, Secretary.

OBERLIN CONSERVATORY OF MUSI

u.

This institution has been established nearly twenty years. The first intention was to furnish elementary instruction, mainly for the purpose of affording what was at that time very rare in this country, — namely, a suitable preparation for advanced standing in the Europeau conservatories. To this end, care has been taken to employ none but thoroughly qualified teachers. Graduates from this school have continued theirstudies in the best foreign conservatories, and in every case have received high commendation for the thorough and satisfactory nature of their preparation.

The school has had a vigorous growth, and now stands among the few institutions of our land which furnish superior advantages for doing work of an advanced grade. It is manned by a board of eleven professional and four assistant teachers, and it aims especially at the production of Thorough Musicians, instead of mere piano players, organists, or solo .singers. A well-balanced cultivation of all the musical and intellectual faculties must be made the groundwork on which special studies and virtuoso attainments can be superimposed, if the musical profession is ever to be freed from the reproach of one-sided development and ignorance in matters outside of a certain specialty.

Expenses are much lower than at other schools of the same grade. The entire outlay for a year's instruction (giving one's whole time to the study of music) need not exceed $3.50, including all necessary expenses. Many students get along comfort- ably with a much smaller expenditure.

Wheaton Female Seminary,

NORTON, MASS.,

Was founded by lion. Lnban Wheaton, of Norton, in 1834, in memory of his daughter, to be a school for Christian education. It is on the Boston, Clinton, Fitchburg and Xew Bedford Kail- road (Old Colony, Northern Division), within an hour's ride of Boston, and is Ln connection with all important points by railway and telegraph. It is in a healthful village, entirely free from all temptations and excitements. It is not a large school, and gives, therefore, opportunity for famil- iar personal intercourse between teachers and pupils. It has a choice reference library of nearly four thousand volumes, one of the best furnished laboratories in the country, ample philo- sophical apparatus, an observatory with a fine telescope, and cabinets of natural history, all of which are accessible for study.

The design of the school is to impart an accurate, thorough, and practical education. It espe- cially aims, as it has done from the beginning, to base such education upon a hearty faith Lq the Bible, and a conscientious Christian life.

The regular course of study for graduation covers four years. But pupils can join temporarily such classes as they arc prepared to enter, without pursuing the full course.

The expense for the regular course, including tuition, board, room, and heating, lights, wash- ing (twelve pieces per week), $2o.) per year. The regular tuition of the daughters of clergymen and missionaries is remitted upon application before the beginning of a term. Several scholar- ships of one hundred dollars each are provided for deserving pupils.

ABBOT ACADEMY,

ANDOVER, MASS.

Andover, on the Boston and Maine Railroad, about one hour's ride from Boston, Salem, and Lowell, is one of the most beautiful and healthful of New England villages. It is the seat of one of the oldest and largest Theological Seminaries in the country, and of Phillips Academy, the first incorporated and most celebrated classical school. The moral and intellectual atmosphere created by these collected institutions, their history and traditions, tend most strongly to promote the mental and moral development of those who come here for instruction.

Abbot Academy is located in the immediate neighborhood of these institutions, and enjoys many incidental advantages through them, while easy access to Boston and Cambridge brin<'8 within its reach fine Music, Art Galleries, Museums, Cabinets, and the Botanical Garden, to all of which, classes with their teachers have occasional access. The Academy has a fine Clark Telescope, good working cabinets, models, and apparatus of its own.

The course of study covers fo\ir years, and embraces all the usual academical studies, special attention being given to Mental and Moral Philosophy, English, and General Literature, the His- tory of Art, and to the Latin, French, and German Languages. Superior advantages are aftbrded m Music, Drawing, Fainting, and Elocution.

The domestic arrangements are peculiarly homelike. The school is divided into three separate families in separate houses, each under its own matron and teachers. One of these families is made up wholly of pupils in French, in which language the daily table-talk is carried on under the direction of the French teacher. Another family is occupied with German in like manner.

The school has been successfully conducted for over twenty years by the same principal, assisted by an able corps of^eachers, whose constant endeavor is to so educate girls that they may mature into healthful, cultivated, earnest, Christian women.

The total expenses for board, including fuel, lights, and washing, and for tuition, except music and drawing, is $300 per annum.

Application for admission or information should be made to

A CHILD'S LIFK

Depends in a great measure on its daily food. Remember, if the food is imjiroper in kind and insufficient in quantity, tbe foundation is laid for future misery and disease. Children who are fed on Ridge's Food grow up strong and healthy, and tens of thousands are saved every j"ear by its use.

LITTLE CHILDREN

Often need simple nourishment rather than medi- cines, and how to afford this when the child has little power to assimilate is fully met in Ridge's Food, which will give bone, muscle and sinew without distress. Experience is the great teacher, and those who have not used Ridge's Food for their little ones should give it a trial. Take no other. It has been in use forty years, and still leads.

HEALTHY CHILD FOOD

Insures robust manhood. Feed your children on Ridge's Food. It is used with greater success than any other article of the kind, as the thou- sands of children who have been reared on Ridge's Food and its enormous sales testify.

IN ENGLAND,

Where Ridge's Food has been in use forty years, the dietetic controversy was carried to a special committee of the House of Commons, and the result was that Ridge's Food was placed at the head over all other preparations. In this country the sales of Ridge's Food are more than for all others combined.

DYSPEPTICS

Will find in Ridge's Food every qualification necessary, as it is a steam-cooked food, wherein all the flesh-forming properties are retained. It is soothing, strengthening and satisfying, and can be used in a great variety of ways to suit the most fastidious. \

NUIiSING MOTHERS

Will find an increase in their own strength and that of their babies by taking a bowl of Ridge's Food every night. The DAILY USE of Ridge's Food will make a dyspeptic invalid happy.

PLUMP BABIES.

Yes, solid babies are the result when fed daily on Ridge's Food It fortifies thorn with strength to battle with diseases peculiar to child Ufe.

tOR TABLE USE.

Ridge's Food is unsurpassed for Puddings, Custards, etc., and is commended by all who have used it, being easily and quickly prepared. As a table luxury, there is nothing superior to Ridge's Food Blanc Mange. It is the most delicious article for the table. Prepared in a few minutes, with or without milk. It is nourishing and satisfying. The cheapest article of the kind on the Market.

Recipes for Blanc Mange, Puddings, Custards, etc., accompany each can.

PUBLIC OPINION

Justifies the statement that Ridge's Food is the best daily diet for children. It makes bone, muscle, nerve ti.isue, and in every teay builds up the system of the growing child.

ALL INTERESTED

In the proper rearing of children are invited to send to Palmer, Mass., for pamphlets bearing on the subject, free to any address.

RIDGE'S FOOD

Is sold in cans, 35 cents, 63 cents, $1.25 and $1.75. WOOLRICH & CO. on every label.

" I have tpsted a pankage of Hoyal liakini? Powder, which I purcliased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and whole some ingredients. It is a ereani of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substances.

"K. G. LOVE, Ph.D." " It is a scientific fact that the Itoval Baking Powder is absolutely pure.

"11. A. MOTT, Pn. D."

" I have examined a package of (loyal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the market.. I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious substance.

" I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which it is composed are pure and whoJesome. S. DANA HAYES, State Ansayer, Mass."

The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World'* Exposition, 187.3; at the Centennial, Philadolphia, 1876; at the American Institute, and at State Fairs throughout the country.

No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and universal indorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world.

NoTK. — The above Diaouam illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A one-jround can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated in the above diagram. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only j)roveB what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by experience that, while it costs a few cents per jjound more than the ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and besides, affords the advantage of better work.

A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair-minded person of these facts.

* 'While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below them, it Is not to be taken as indicating that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous.

PREFATORY NOTE.

This issue is made by the direction of the National Council of the Conijregational Churches assembled at St. Louis, Mo., in 1880.

By order of the Council a copy is sent to each church, and one to each minister, by mail, post-paid.

The addresses of the officers and committees of the National Council will be found on page 22.3, and of the State organizations upon page 224 and those immediately following. The addresses of officers of our be- nevolent societies are on pages 37-53; of the professors of the theological seminaries on pages 55-63.

The next session of the National Council will commence Thursday, September 20, 1883, at 10 o'clock, A. M., and will doubtless continue into the following week. The place is not fully determined, but will doubt- less be an eastern State.

WORDS FROM THE COMPILER.

The Year-Book, being Issued this year much earlier than of late years, may lack an occasional item, for whose securino; time did not allow. Yet it is believed that such omissions are very few. Minnesota statistics are out of place and not put in order, inasmuch as their tables, being destroyed by fire in Miniienpolis, had to be recon- structed ; and, besides, the compiler felt obliged to allow a little delay in consequence. More labor has bi-en bestowed on the present issue than on any preceding. The several State secretaries have, as usual, given every help, — New York and Kansas even forwarding their tables in manuscript. Thanks are particularly due to Misa S one, assistant librarian in the Congreg.ational library .at Boston.

Increased space is this year given to the National Benevolent Societies. A con- venience is added, for the first time, by indexing the ordinations, installations, dis- missals, marriages, and obituary record, — the pages where these occur being now all given with the names in the general Alphabetical List of Ministers.

Steady improvement is made in the State Minutes, but there are some yet to be completed, and the compiler unweariedly repeats a few important suggestions; — I. As to churches : Each State should give to the world:

1. A complete list of churches, and count them correctly.

2. Every church should have its post-<:ifflce address (if different from its name as given) with the church in the tables. See how handsomely Ohio does this. Forty- two Year-Books 1882, sent to churches, were returned by postmasters as by direction printed on wrappers; all but tivo v; ere correctly ^nailed, but there were no such offices!

3. List of all neiv churches since the last issue, with full dates of organization; list of all "dropped churches ; and list of all chanf/es of name ; so as to trace every church througli successive years. Few States do this accurately, and the compiler of the national statistics has to compare lists, and exerci.-e his own judgment.

II. As to organizations : Give the list of officers ; and the exact date and place of the next session. Some States Here?' do this, notwithstanding iirgent entreaties.

III. As to ministers : —

1. The first name is indispensable. It should invariahhj be given in the general alphabetical list, and ought to be given in the column of pastoral supply. If for biographical purposes only, the first name should always be given.

2. In the tables, licentiates and ministers of other denominations should be so des- ignated as such, and never included in the number of Congregational ministers. To do otherwise is dishonest, as it represents to the world greater numbers than we have.

3. Give to every one the rjear of ordination. One State gives none.

4. Give post-office addresses correctly. Some now given are not in the official government lists. The result is that the Year-Book is blamed for what is not its fault, after searching the " Postal Guide " in every suspicious case.

IV. It would be a great convenience, and facilitate the'issue of the Year-Book, if State Minutes would follow the order of items in general use. Any number of blanks wanted to collect these statistics in any State will be furnished on application lo the secretary of the National Council.

6 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR-BOOK. [1883.

V. We need also to know, and a State Siiininary in State Minutes should tell us readily :

1. How many churche< are served by in?t. tiled pastors?

2. How many cliurches have jiastors not installe 1 (meaning only ordained Con- gregational ministers)?

3. H >w many churches are statedly supplied at date by licentiates or ministers of other denominations?

4. How many churches are vacant?

Then, add up these four, and see if they make the proper total !

In the same connection, a State Summary should tell us :

1. How many ordained Congregational ministers Are pastors in the State?

2. How many ordained Congrej^ation vl ministers are actin<j pastors in the State ?

3. How many ordained Congregational ministers are without charge in the State?

Not half the States do now give reliable answers to these questions. The absence of these answers and the frequent omission of anything to designate (in the tables) licentiates and men of other denominations, require laborious corrections of the lists in those tables, and days of needless labor and delay in compiling these figures for our national statistics. Still, this year showed a manifest improvement.

VI. Items should be added vp. In one State last year, eight items of benevolence had to be added by the compiler for each of two hundred and three churches, to obtain the amount for each church. This year the compiler of the Year-Book con- cluded to give his time to having the book published promptly, and .«o was unal)le to "do" these two hundred and three sums in arithnietie, across a page ; and that column is blank. A table not worth a " total " is rarely worth printing. Summary tables should be found in every State issue, and made correctly.

VII. States should be kept distinct in their totals. That is, if tables unite Pres- byterian and Congregational churches, the statistical world needs a distinct total for each, as is well given in New Hampshire. Likewise, if a State Association includes churches of another State, there should be distinct totals for each State, as is well done in New York and in Ohio, but is not done at all in some other States.

VIII. Alphabetical lists of ministers in the State issues should be confined to and include ordained Vonyreiiational ministers. These lists are implicitly and necessarily followed by the Year-Book.

IX. A proper Year-Book should include matter not yet ventured upon :

1. A list of all vlitirch clerks.

2. A list of iiU the superintendents of Sunday Schools. Additional columns should also be given, such (for instance) as given in Nebraska. The Sunday-school work of the respective churches is entitled to this facility.

3. A list of officers (complete) and needed information as to their work, of all our State home-missionary societies, our various local charitable societies, ministerial-aid societies, and, indeed, everything needed to show com[)letely through what melhods our people are doing their work. Inquiries are continually made for such informa- tion. The secretary of the Council is applied to, in increasing frequency, for detailed information, by brethren in all i)arts of the land, and from across the ocean.

Such additions, and their additional expense, the publishing committee have not felt authorized to make. The National Benevolent Societies, however, will be found to have increased space in this issue.

1883.] treasurer's report.

TllEASURER'S STATEMENT.

By the Council, at St. Louis, the following resolution was pas ed: —

Resolved, That the Treasurer be instructed to publish each year in the Year-Book the condition of the treasury and the amounts received and lackhig from the several State bodies.

In accordance with the above resolution the following statement is made, which brings the accounts up to the 15th of November, 1882, the limit set by the Publishing Committee for receiving matter for the Year-Book ot 188:3; but no additional pay- ments had been received up to Dec. 1st.

At the meeting of the Provisional Committee in Boston, July 13, 1882, it was " Voted, That, as the chief expenses of each year are incurred before adequate re- turns are received by the Treasurer, therefore the Treasurer of the Council be ap- pointed to raise, by such means as he may devise, «3,000, or such part thereof as may be practicable, before the meeting of the Council of 1883."

The Treasurer will receive and gratefully acknowledge any sums of money sent to him in answer to this call, and he requests all who read the foregoing statement to aid in securing such a relief fund.

It will be seen from the foregoing statement that on the 13th of November, 1882, the tre.i.-.ury was paying inttT.-st on S.3,,3(^4.27. There was due from the churches at the s.iniH dale, £1,341. '.t7. If tlie iis.sessment.s had been paid in full, July 1, 18H2, when tliey were due, there would liavo been in the treasury for tlie new year .^9.')! .14. This, added to the amount of assessment for 1883 (.S2,8.3f>.()3) — all of wliich should be paid by July 1, 1883, wiiiiout fail — would give .S3,787.77 for the expenses of the Council prior to its next meeting. If all this is paid prom()tly, it will barely cover tiiese expenses, and it is iherelbre of the first importance that payments should be made by tlie treasurers of the State orguiizations at the earliest possible date. Con- necticut and Illinois have set an example, as will be seen in the schedule, which, it followed by all the States, would bring relief at once.

1883.] COMMITTEE ON A CREED. 9

Will not the trensnrers of tlie State bodies divide this burden of perplexity among thaiiisidves, and promptly r.'niit to uie the sums duo, trusliiiii their ohiircheM for an honorable and Christian settlonioiit at their converiiennc ? Will not the State bodies, or till) cluirchns wliicli c impose them, authorize the local treasurers to do this, and thus divide am aig t\\ti fortij-fioe constituents the enib irras-iment which now is felt by a sini;le individual ? i'ractical economy demands that the assessments be paid as early as J ulj' for each year.

COMMITTEE ON A CREED.

Thk Committee* appointed by the National Council in 1880 to select a Commis- sion of twenty-five to consider the matter of preparing a Confession of Faith and Catechism, completed the list as follows : —

Rev. JuLTUs H. Seelye, d. d Amherst, Mass.

Rev. Charles M. Mead, d. d Andover, Mass.

Rev. Henky M. Dexter, d. d. Boston, IMass.

Rev. Edmund K. Aldex, d. d Boston, Mass.

Rev. William M. Taylor, d. d New York, N. Y.

Rev. Lyman Abbott, d. d Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, N.Y.

Rev. Augustus F. Beard, d. d Syracuse, N. Y.

Rev. William W. Patton, d.d Washington, D. C.

I'ev. James H. F^airchild, d. d Oberlin, O.

Rev. Constans L. Goodell, d.d St. Louis, Mo.

Rev. Richard Cordley, d. d Emporia, Kan.

Rev. George Mooar, d. d Oakland, Cal.

In making the selection, different' sections of the country have been drawn upon somewhat in proportion to the membership of the Congregationalist churches in each. The list embraces men who are understood to represent different shades of opinion while holding fast to the essential truths of the gospel. With a large proportion of pastors are joined representatives of theological seminaries and col- leges, of the religious press and of the missionary work of our churches. Letters responding to these appointments indicate that those designated will enter on the work with interest and hopefulness, and that they will be able to co-operate in mutual respect and congeniality of spirit and aim for the important object con- templated.

Note. — Tlie number of deatlis reported (sixty) is siiiallor flian ti«iial, partly be- caiise we go tr) press too early to iiicliiile December in tliis record. Tlie averafjo ajre (sixty-four years, two montlis, eleven days) is nearly four years le<s than the record of iHSl.aiHl less than in any year since 1875. But, even at the lowest, the averasje age of ministers is high. The limitations of the tables do not in all cases admit exactness. In the table of theological education, students who did not graduate are counted, and without distinction from graduates; but a name occurring in more than one seminary list is not repeated; and in the college lists a few students who were not alumni are counted with the graduates.

The compiler renews bis earnest request to friends and to the secretaries of the State bodies, for prompt information of the death of ('ongre<;ati()naI ministers, and for full and exact information on tlie model of the sketches above given. Ob tuary and eulogy beyond, it is impossible to use here.

Our Present Field includes twenty-one missions, carrying the gospel to North- ern and Western Mexico, to the islands of the Pacific, to Spain and Austria, to European, Western, Central, and Eastern Turkey, to Western and Southern India, to Ceylon, to Southeastern and West Central Africa, to South-^rn and Northern China, and to Japan. This work includes direct evangelistic effort throngh mis- sionaries and native helpers; an immense educational trust, extending from the primary srhool to the college and theological seminary; Sunday-school instruction; the preparation, publication, and circulation, in over twenty different languages, of hooks, tracts, and newspapers; ass'stance in the erection of buildings for churches and schools; grants in aid to feeble churches and to native home-missionary societies; the humane service of missionary physcians, sometimes in care of large dispensaries and hospitals; also charitable ministry, continuous and varied, to the sick, the poor, and the oppressed. All these departments upon the foreign field are economically managed nnder one efficient and experienced administration.

Our Present Force, now occuT)ying seven hundred and seventy-seven stations and out-stations, numbers one hundred and fifty-one onlained missionaries, of whom five are physicians, ten jihyscians not ordained, two of them women, and two hun- dred and fifty-one other assistant missionaries, making a total from this country of four hundred and twelve. Our native force is more than fonr and a half times this number, a total of 1,893, of whom five hundred and seventj'-six are native pastors and preachers.

Our Native Churches, two hundred and eighty-one in number, not including those of the Hawaiian Islands, enroll 19,105 members, of which ntimher 1,()()4 were received last year, on cotifession of their faith in Christ. These 19,000 members of native cbnrches, giving round numbers, are distributed as follows: Papal lands, 300; Africa, 000; China, 900; Japan, 900; Micronesia, 3.500; India, including Ceylon, 5,200; Turkey. 7,700. The Hawaiian Islands would add several thousand more.

Our Training and Theological Schools, including station classes, sixty-one in number, are giving instruction to 2,174 young men, many of them fitting for the Christian ministry.

Our Girls' Schools, of the higher order, thirty-nine in number, enroll 1,655 pupils, many of them fitting to be teachers, many of them to be Christian wives and mothers, constituting the educational power of Christian homes for the next gen- eration.

Our Common Schools, eight hundred and one in number, enroll nearly 33,000 pupils, making a total of 36,543 under Christian instruction. These 36,500 persons under instruction, giving round numbers, are distributed as follows: China, 200; Japan, 300; Papal lands, 300; Africa 1,200; Micronesia, 2,000; India, includiug Ceylon, 16,000; Turkey, 16,500. These figures do not include the additional thou- sands of the Hawaiian Islands.

Regular Donations from the Churches, which during the past five years, in- cluding what was received througli the woman's boards, have averaged about ?3.')0,- 000, need to be doubled in order to meet the demands of our growing work. With

The American Boa-d had been organized a few venrs before, and the cause of loreign Missions was taking strong liold upon the churches. But

tlie ahore.s were few." Ever since the close of the Revolutionary war, the Churches had been in a confuse.l and preoccupied state, and the number of men com- ing lorward for the work of tlie ministry was alarmingly simill. It was in such a sta e of things that this Society began its enterprise. TJirouuh the aid thus afforded, an. I throngli the impulses tiius imparted, a host of living preachers was raised un to go with the moving colonies out into the fields of the West, or to -o tar hence to the Gentiles, to j.roclaim the Gospel of salvati.>n through Jesus Christ. A work of ines- tim.able importiuice for the Cliristianizing and civilizing of our own land was acco.n- T.list>ed by this mstrnmentaliiy. The ministers raised up hv this Society bcame toa large ex ent the pioneers in the way of founding ciiurch.s, Schools, colleges through- out all hose W estern fiekls, while in foreign lauds half the missionaries laboring under the care of the American Board had been brought forward in the same way.

THE AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Was organized INIay 25, 1853, at Boston, and received its charter from the Massachu- setts Legislature, April 12, 1854. Its present ofificers are: —

Samuel D. Wakken, Boston, President.

RuFUS S. "PnosTjUo^Xon, Chairman of Board of Directors.

Samuel T. Snow, Boston, Treasurer. {Librarian.

Rev. Isaac P. Langworthy, d. d., Boston, Correspondinci Secretary and

Rev. Daniel P. Noyes. Wilmington, Mass., /?ecordJn(/ /S'ecreia?"?/.

Miss Mary E. Stone, Boston, Assistant Librarian. Directors. — Rev. Alonzo H. Quint, d. d.; Rev. .Tolm O. Means, d. p.; Rev. TT. M. Dexter, d. d.; Rufus S. Frost; Rev. N. G. Clark, d. d.; James White; Frank Wood; Rev. Jos. T. Dnryea, d. d. ; Rev. John L. Withrow, d. n. : Rev. Jos. B. Clark; Marquis F. Dickinson; Edward A. Studley; S. Brainerd Pratt; Rev. I. N. Tarbox, d. d.; together with the Treasurer and Secretaries.

The object of this Association is "to establish and perpetuate the religious history and literature of New England, and for the erection of a suitable buiiilinL'' fur the accommodation of the same, and for the use of charitable societies; also to do such acts as may promote the interest of Congregational churches," etc.

Its library is intended for reference, having as its specialties everything published by the Pilgrims and Puritans, and their predecessors, contemporaries, and suecessors, wbieli states or illustrates the princifiles and polity of Congregationalism, its history, it-< doctrine, its influence, and ind>^ed the same things in regard to every denomina- tion; thus everything ecclesiastical, — theology, controversy, results of councils, sermons, church manuals, minutes of I'eligious bodies, every one: Year-Books, and all such like; also all local histories, county, State, and United States histories, genealogies, centennial, ordination, funeral, and all historical sermons, all commen-

taries on the Scriptures, every bioiiraphy, national, State, and municipal statistics, printed reports of all kinds, catulo^ucs, obituary records, and inaugurals of all onr literary in-ftitutious, together witii any manuscripts, autographs, or mementos which relate to the objects above named.

Oil tlie -JOth of May, 1882, tiie library had 29,219 hooks — 6,2()5 of which were dupli- cates— and over 125,000 pamphlets, including duplicates, secured almost exclusively by gifts, as there has never been a dollar ai)|)ropriated from the building fund with whicli to buy a book, nor can there be until the present onerous debt is greatly re- duced. Duplicates furnish a basis for exchanges, for wliich the Librarian has large facilities, and of wliich h.^ avails himself to the utteruMst; and in this way he can as- sure all kindly disposed persons that they cau send him no printed pamphlet or book that he cannot make useliil here.

The Library has now more of the early publications of our country and of the mother country which illustrate the principles and relate the deeds of our first set- tlers than any othrr public library in the United States; but it is still lacking very much of this sort that is scattered here and there, essentially useless where it is, but would be invaluable here; also much more of the later and contemporaneous issues of the same general character found in every parish and town more or less. Now, let these be collected and sent here by some good friend in each church, as a few have already done.

The Congregational House is a fonr-story granite structure, one hundred and three feet on Heacou Street, ami ninety-three feet on Somerset Street, having stores on lower tl.iors on Beacon Street, and rooms above for the A. B. C, F. M., the Woman's Board, the American College and Education Society, American Missionary Associa- tion. City Missionary Society, Woman's Home ^lissionary Society, IMassaehusetts Home Missionary Society, American Peace Society, the Coiir/regationalixt, etc. The fire-proiif library room is in a connected Imilding; accessible, light, pleasant, safe, and has cap icity for more than 100,0i)0 volumes.

The great WANT of this Association is the hearty sympathy and co-operation of every Congreg.itionalist, expressed in " one fair contribution " from eiudi of the more than 2,307 Congregational churches that have not made it; tlie gift of at least one dollar from every member, to be made a life member of the Association; the gift of the twenties, fifties, hundreds, and thousanils from the more highly favored; tes- tamentary gifts, if not earlier bestowed.

TIIE AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL UNION. Incorporated June 11, 1853. President. — Rev. E. B. Webb, d. d., Boston, Mass. Correspundinfj Secretary. — Rev. L. Henky Cobb, d. d., 59 Bible House, New York

city. Treasurer. — N. A. Calkins, 5!) Bible House, New York city.

The American Congregitional Union was chartered under statute of the Stale of New York in 1853, mainly for the purpose of aiding regularly organized and leg illy incorporated Congregational churches in building liouses of worsliip and parsonages.

To do its work, the Union elects, at its annual meeting, on the second Thursday in May, a Board of " not le-s than five nor more than thirty Trustees." (The pres- ent niimlier is eighteen.) That Board cdiooses a Chairman, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and two Counsellors outside its own number. In and of its own number, it ap[)oints two Standing Committees of three, — one on Finance and one on Apjdications, — and subcommittees as occasion may require. The Board and its committe-s meet every month ; ofleiier if necessary.

The services of the Board ami its committees are wholly gratuitous. The only sal- aried officers of the Union are the Corres|)oiiding Secretary and the Treasurer's Clerk.

From the first, the Union has had the invaluable aid of the Homo Missionary superintendents and secretaries of the several Stati'S and Territories wliere its work ha.s been done. The Union and churches owe a large debt of gratitude to these brethren for volumes of correspondence, thousands of miles of travel, sermons, addres-ies, all sorts of labor in the interest of church buildin?.

As their work grows and our work spreads, tin; Hoanl has this year chosen twenty- nine well-known and honored brethren, in as many Statics and Territories, wliere most of the work of the Union is going forward, who, as eoailviscis with the Home Mission- ary superintendents and secretaries and us, shall aid in furnishing nstlie latest and

most reliable information on any matter affecting the work of the Union; as <hat of reroveriiig funds invested in churches, that for any cauce have lajiscd; that of stirring up the aided and all other churclu's to rcinemher their ohliKations in annual collec- tions; that of presenting the cause at State and local conferences, etc , etc.

The churcIu^s aided by the UTiion in luiilding houses of worship, at the time of receiving aid voluntarily pledge an Annual Conthihution to the treasury. Nearly S()0,()00 have been" thus contributed. Hesides this, mon; than SfjO, 000 liavo been refunded to the Union in the form of loans paid, and (rom the proceeds of houses sold or burned. The entire sum thus returned has gone to aid other churches.

Besides the above-named ofticers and appointees of the Union, several of the State Associations are appointing one or more of their own members to re|(rcsent the Union within their own borders. One State (Iowa) aj>points a committee for the Union within the bounds of each local conference. Added to this, the pastor of every Congregational clinrch is made the agent of the Union for giving all needed information, raising funds, and in every possible way carrying forward the work of building houses for the worship of God. We have thus a network of influences in every State and Territory, which, if vigorously worked, cannot fail to secure the needed means and push church erection to the last limit of reasonable demand. In what way could this work be more thoroughly organized, or its interests be more carefully guarded ? It is the work of the churches. In the good time coming, when every pastor and every church shall come to regard this vital branch of the Lord's ■work as his, and shall let no year pass without generous aid for this work, sent direct to the treasury of the Union, we shall be able to say to every New Testament church, as Soon as organized, "Arise and build : all necessary aid will be forthcoming."

To secure the utmost economy in disbursing the funds, with the stronjiest safe- guards against loss, the Union sends to every church asking aid a blank application, to be filled out and certified by the trustees and pastor, carefully examined and fully indorsed by the Home Missionary superintendent or secretary, and the secre- tary of the Union in and for the State or Territory where the church is, and for- warded to the oiSce in New York. The application is then carefully examined. If found defective in any essential particular, it is returned for completion. When complete, all papers are laid before the Committee on Applications. No application comes before the Board till fully indorsed by this committee. The Board, in regular session, makes the grant upon unquestionable evidence that the church is legally in- corporated ; that it holds its property in fee simple ; that its house is completed and free of incumbrance in "law, equity, and honor," and insured against loss by fire. The church executes a trust or loan mortgage covering the amount granted by the Union and all moneys contributed by friends outside the limits of the church asking aid. Funds thus given to Congregational church building are in this way made absolutelj'^ secure to the denomination, .and to this work.

At the date of this writing (Dec. 1, 1882), the Union has outstanding pledges to 100 churches to the amount of $48,501.61. To pay these pledges the Treasurer has only $32,282.07.

By the aid of two generous legacies, and a direct gift of .?5,P00, the churches and individual friends of the Union have brought the receipts of the treasury up to §48,- 005.01 in the seven months of the year already past. (The year begins May 1.) By vigorous effort on the part of all our churches and generous friends, we may hope for the $100,000 called for at the beginning of the year. Never were the demands more urgent.

An encouraging interest has been manifested in parsonage building. S2,47P.74 have been sent to the treasury for this branch of the work. Forty-nine churches liave asked aid. Q'en or eleven only can have it, till more is put into this treasury. How much longer shall the great majority of our brethren at the front be practic^liy homeless ? Their patience is heroic. Will the churches match it with beneficence as generous ?

The Home Missionauv, a monthly magazine, published hy the Society, at sixty cents a ye;ir, includintr [)ostaf;e, gives a running account <d' the jirogress (d' the work ill all jiarts of the country, largely from the peus of the superintendents and mission- aries personally engaged in it. The monthly issue is 25,000 copies. An Annual Report sums up the results of the year.

For nearly fifty -seven years the Society has been organizing churches, mainly in the West, and aiding in the support of their ministers till those churches are able to assume the whole ex|iense. Its missionaries have from the first organized Sunday Fchools, provided proper teachers for them, and by watchful oversight have secured their permanence and highest usefulness.

In connection with the hibor of its missionaries, 4,259 churches have been organized, and 2,156 have come to self-support. It has collected and disbursed in cash nearly $59,371,500, and in clothing, books, and other supplies, largely the offerings of Cliris- tian women, more than $1,35(5,000: in all, $10,727,500. The additions to the cliurches have been 303,724. Schools, academies, and colleges in nearly every Western State are among the direct fruits of the work.

Tiie number of missionaries employed in its fifty-sixth year (1881-82) was 1,070, 699 of them in States and Territories west of New York. They preacbed regulaily in 2, .5(18 stations, and at frequent intervals in many hundreds more. Tlie number of Sunday-scho(d and Bible-class .scholars was over 104,000. The additions to the churches were 6,032 ; 3,291 of them on profession of faith. One hundred and six churches were organized, and thirty-six came to self-support. Last year's receipts were, in cash, $340,778.47; in supplies, $60,000: in all, $400,778.47.

At least $.350,000 in cash are needed this year properly to sustain the missionaries novj in the field. To take up only such new work as the providence and Spirit of God manifestly call upon the Society to assume at once, $50,000 more are imperatively re- quired. At nearly every meeting of the Executive Committee, chosen men aresent to new fields at the front, where they are most needed, but where their support in- volves heavy outlay by the Society. For securing the means essential to the carrying on of this great work the Society depends, under God, on the zealous co-operation of the pastors and members of the Congregational churches of the laud.

plrst'—To provide and furnish to pastors, teacl'ers, and Sunday schools, aids to the study of the Bihl.', and all needful Sunday-school literature.

Second —To s^y.^tematize and give diiectiun to Sunday-scliool movements, to increase enthusiasm among the churches in this importunt work, and to direct their charities toward establishing Sunday schools, and providing weak ones with such equipments as .shall enable thtui to be efficient. , . v * -i * i ^vo

Third, — To provide and prepare general religious reading, and to distribute booKs and tracts among the destitute. ■, n.^ /. /-.

Fourth, — To set lorth the liistory and explain the principles and polity ot Congre- gational chuiches.

Business Department. — The Society publishes Sunday-school lesson-helps of four different grades: for teachers, senior, intermediate, and primary scholars. It issues two periodicals weekly, and other literature of different kinds, for Sunday schools Car. ful examination of Sunday-school books, as fast as they are issued by different publishers, is made by a competent committee, and reports of results are onnted Valuable books and tracts on general religious subjects, as well as on mat- ters of special interest to Congregatioualists, are issued annually. Orders for any books, by whomsoever publi.-hed, are promptly filled at the lowest rates.

This department is self-sustaining, though unable, from want ot capital, to meet evident and great opportunities for usefulness. It is in no sense a private enterprise. Its profits are the p 'operty of the churche-, held in trust by the Bo.ird ot Managers.

Missionary Department. — This is entirely distinct from the business depart- ment In May l««".i, the American Home Missionary Society, by vote of its Lxecu- tive Committee, fornially recommitted ihe missionary Sunday-school work to the Congregational Sunday-School and Publishing Society. Ihis Society, during the vear eudiuL' May 1, 1881, aided about 250 Sunday schools, mostly m the West and South During the year ending May 1, 188li, it has aide.l 712 Sunday scho.ds, of which over 300 were new schools, a large proportion of which would not have been org .nized without aid from this Society. Many of these schools are connected with churches under the care of the A. H. M. S.. the A. M. A., the New West Education Commission, and other benevolent organizations. . ^ vr v i i^i;o=^„,i

This Society has now appointed Missionaries in Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Ore-'on, and Washington Territory. , , , ., f

Congregational churches are increasing in numbers more slowly than those oj cnnj other evanr,,li<ul denomination, while their gifts tor extending the gospel are he largest of any in proportion to their member.ship. Statistics show that in other denominations the organization and vigorous administration of Sunday-schoo socie- ties hare resulted in larqebj increased additions to the churches. We believe that no denomination in these days can expect any great future which does not strengthen and diligently use this important arm of the church. ^ ., ^. • i

Durii.K the bust official year of the Society (May to May) the contributions received for benevolent work amounted to .S5,44;i.27. Since that time the ratio has nearly doubl.-d. This amount is altogether inadequate to maintain worthily the work tor Sunday schools that is imperaiiv- ly necessary. The Mis.sionary Commiltee have fe,t compeiled to incur obligations in advance, for the coming year, in the ..mploimeni ot men and appropriation of supplies amounting to not less than *ld,000.

1883.] NATIONAL SOCIETIES. 51

In addition to all this we have received several urgent appenls to appoint Snnday- schoitl ini.ssionarics, from State A,«8ucialions, home-missionary superiuteudt-nts, and rei)rt'S(Mitaiive ministers in Western and Southern States. The amount to be expended the coming year should not he lexx t/ian .S>50,000.

The opportunity to establish Sunday schools as the beginnings of churches in the new lands, and to promote Sunday-school work, is great; the nee<l at this crisis is urgent. The future prosperity of all the benevolent work of our denomination requires it. The good results from it are assured.

All money contributed to the Society (unless otherwise specified) will be used for the work we have described. This Society is recommended by the Nalion;il Council and by the State Associations as one of those which should receive the gifts of the churehes.

Contributions for missionary work should be sent to E. Lawrence Barnard, Treasurer. Correspondence concerning the business department should be directed to George P. Smith; concerning the Sunday-school benevolent department, to llev. A. E. Dunning.

THE NEW WEST EDUCATION COMMISSION.

Incorporated Nov. 3, 1879.

Principal office at Chicago, Illinois.

President, Eev. F. A. Noble, d. d., 534 West Washington street, Chicago. Vice-President, Rev. Simeon Gilbert, d. d., 1-t National Bank Building, Chicago, Treasurer, Charles G. Hammond, 387 La Salle avenue, Chicago. General Secretary, Itev. Charles R. Bliss, 112 W. Washington street, Chicago. Recording Secretary, Rev. G. S. F. Savage, d. d., W. Washington street, Chicago.

Object. — The promotion of Christian civilization in Utah, and adjacent States and Territories, by the educ ition of the childien and youth under Chrisrian tenchers, and also by the use of such kindred agencies as may at any time be deemed wise.

The work now prosecuted by the Commission was commenced in June, 1878, in the incorporation of two academies, — one at Salt Lake City, in Utah, and the other at Santa Fe, in New JSIexico. Pres. E. P. Tenney, of Colorado College, Rev. W. M, Barrows, then of Salt Lake, and Rev. John H. B Trows, then of Lawrence, Mass., were chiefly instrumental in establishing Salt Lake Academy ; and Pres. Tenney and Rev. Charles R. Bliss were instrumental in establishing, two weeks later, Santa Fe Academy, both being accomplished in pursuance of plans laid the pievious winter in Boston, by Messrs. Tenney and Bliss in the first instance, and shortly afterwards pariicipated in by Rev. W. M. Barrows, who for some months had been re olving a similar plan regarding Salt Lake.

The academies were termed under the auspices of Colorado College, a'^d by vote of its corporation ; and the Principals, Prof. E. Benner and Prof. Wm. Strieby, were appointed professors in the College.

In 187it, by direction of Pres. Tenney, in behalf of the college, Mr. Bliss procured the incorporation of another academy, at the town of Albuquerque, New Mexico ; and, in fact through the efforts of Prof. Paine, of Chicago, several gentlemen in that city started, through the agency of Messrs. Barrows and Benner, two other schools in Utah.

The Commission, having come into existence in the autumn of 1879, assumed from Pres. Tenney, in the following year, the csre of the three academies already started, together with that of the other schools, taking upon itself all the responsibility of their maintenance, and discharging all obligHtions against them, these exceeding, at the time, $2,000, which sum was paid by its Treasurer by personal gift.

In the summer of 1880, by general direction of the Commission, Mr. Bliss procured the incorporation of the Academy at Trinidad, Colo., and also that of the Academy at Las Vegas, while three other schools were started in Utah.

During the following year, while the number of academies remained the same, the other schools, all in Utah, were increased to eleven, the whole employing thirty teachers, and liaving over twelve hundred pupils, more than five hundred of whom were, or had been, Mormons.

The cuirent year bids fair to be more prosperous than any before it ; for, while the Commission has withdrawn from Santa Fe, leaving the ground to the University of New Mexico, conducted by Prof. H. O. Ladd, a large development of the work has been made in Utah, especially in Salt Lake City.

Our work is especially dependent upon the faithful collect- ing of the mites, — " the fragments that nothing l)e lost."
