THE CONGREGATIONAL AND CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
Principles of Christian Fellowship
The Congregational and Christian Churches of the United States by delegates assembled, reserving all the rights and cherished memories of their historic past and aflfirming loyalty to the basic principles of unity and democracy in church polity, hereby set forth the principles of Christian fellowship immemorially held by these churches.
We hold sacred the freedom of the individual soul and the right of private judgment. We stand for the autonomy of the local church and its independence of ecclesiastical control. We cherish the fellowship of churches, united in district, state and national bodies for counsel and co-operation. Affirming these convic- tions we hold to the unity of the Church of Christ, and will unite with all its branches in fellowship and hearty co-operation; and we earnestly seek that the prayer of our Lord for the unity of his followers may be speedily answered.
We find in the Bible the supreme rule of faith and life, but recognize wide room for differences in interpretation. We therefore base our union upon the acceptance of Christianity as primarily a way of life and not upon uniformity of theological opinion or any uniform practice of ordinances. (From the preamble of the Constitution of the General Council of the Congregational and Christian Churches.)
Form — Congregational and Christian Churches are bodies of self-governing Christian believers organized on a democratic basis in close association with a great body of similar churches throughout the world, covenanting together for religious worship, work, and fellowship, acknowledging Christ only as authori- tative Head.
Origin — Congregational Churches were first organized in England In the Six- teenth Century, in revolt against state control of religious worship, in the demand for personal Christian experience, and in an effort to reproduce New Testament simplicity and democracy.
The Christian churches originated spontaneously in several parts of the United States in the latter part of the eighteenth century. In each instance the movement was a revolt against overhead control of local churches and ministers.
Principles — They believe In a free Kingdom of God under the sole authority and leadership of the Spirit of Christ, insuring freedom of the individual soul, liberty of conscience, the independence of the local church, and ttie free fellow- ship of the churches.
Ideals — Democratic life and organization, simplicity and vitality of faith, intellectual freedom, educational efficiency, evangelistic purpose, missionary zeal, social passion, unsectarian fellowship, unselfish devotion to the extension of the Kingdom.
Practice — Congregational and Christian Churches emphasize beliefs in which all evangelical Christians agree, exalt nothing trivial or sectarian, repudiate dogmatism and all legislative control, ecclesiastical or civic, of the spiritual life, and seek union of all churches, on the basis of mutual freedom and fellowship. Their rule of action is "In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity."
Achievements — The old world and the new are indebted largely to Congrega- tionalism for the establishment and progress of the principle of religious tolera- tion. Congregationalism sailed to America in the Mayflower as the church of the Pilgrim Fathers. Settling first at Plymouth, then later fusing with the Puritan colonists that followed them, these founders of Congregationalism spread over New England, and through their democratic ideals laid the foundations for the free church, the free state, the free school, and the free social life of our country. The Congregational churches have been the pioneer Protestant churches of our nation in the promotion of education, missions, evangelism, and in most movements for Christian union, religious progress, and moral reform.
While the Christian Church originated later, and therefore did not have the original impact upon the nation's life, and while its numbers and resources have not been so large its ideals and principles have been identical with those of the Congregational churches.
The Local Church — The local church is the center and soul of the whole organization. It is self-administering and is the final arbiter of all questions relating to its own life.
Fellowship with churches of like organization differentiates these churches from the so-called independent church. This fellowship is held in associations, state or district conferences and the General Council described below.
The Association — A church is recognized denominationally by securing mem- bership in some association of churches, usually consisting of from ten to fifty such churches, located in geographical proximity to one another. These associa- tions are for the purpose of mu^aal stimulation, the holding of ministerial cre- dentials for ordained ministers and the performance of common Christian service.
The State Conference — The state or district conference is made up of the churches within its bounds holding membership in the several associations. Mutual helpfulness to all the churches, and as ordinarily organized, the carrying forward of church extension and missionary work within its own borders, are the functions of the conference. Usually the conference maintains a paid super- intendent and a central office. A directory will be found on page 17.
The General Council — What the State Conference is to the state the General Council is to the nation, with appropriate variations. It also becomes the unifying agency for coordinating the organization and work of the missionary societies. (See following pages.)

General Council
GENERAL COUNCIL ORGANIZATION
The General Council of the Congregational and Christian Churches was organized on June 27, 1931, at Seattle, Washington, for the purpose of carrying on the functions hitherto performed by the National Council of the Congrega- tional Churches and the General Convention of the Christian Church. The older organizations continue their formal existence for the time being for possible legal requirements. Details of organization will be found on the following pages.
PURPOSE The purpose of the General Council is to foster and express the substantial unity of the Congregational and Christian churches in faith, purpose, polity and work; to consult upon and devise measures and maintain agencies for the pro- motion of the common interests of the Kingdom of God; to co-operate with any corporation or body under control of or affiliated with the Congregational or Christian churches or any of them; and to do and to promote the work of these churches in their national, international and interdenominational relations, and in general so far as legally possible to perform on- behalf of the united churches the various functions hitherto performed by the National Council for the Congrega- tional churches and by the General Convention for the Christian church. It being understood that where technical legal questions may be involved the action of the separate bodies shall be secured. (Article II of the Constitution.)
FUNCTIONS
As the name indicates, the General Council Is a voluntary organization of Congregational and Christian churches for the purpose of conference regarding their common interests. The central function of the Council is to provide a gathering for useful discussion of questions of concern to the churches, and so to furnish Inspiration for increased devotion and effectiveness.
Associated with the function of discussion and inspiration Is that of the election of officers and agencies for carrying on the common work of the churches. Specifically, the Council provides for gathering and publishing annually the statistics for the churches as given in this Year Book. For the purpose of stimulating fellov/ship and of coordinating the various agencies offices are main- tained with a small staff of Secretaries.
MEMBERS Each State Conference or similar organization of churches Is entitled to elect two members (one being a woman) for each ten thousand members or major fraction thereof. Each local association or similar organization may elect one delegate for each ten churches or major fraction thereof. Each college and theological seminary recognized by the Council is entitled to one delegate. The Moderator, the Secretaries, the Treasurer and editors of national church period- icals are members ex-officiis.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Between the sessions of the Council an Executive Committee chosen by the Council attends to details of business, arranging for the meetings and submitting programs for the same. This committee is also the agency for correlating the activities of the several Commissions.
COMMISSIONS
The fvmctions of the Commission on Missions are to correlate the ad- ministration of the several missionary societies and boards affiliated with the Council in the interest of economy and efficiency, and to promote the appeal for benevolent funds. Through this Commission it is possible for the Council to keep in touch with the wide range of benevolent activity of the churches.
The Commission on Evangelism and Devotional Life maintains an office for service to the churches in the vital field indicated by its name. There are several other Commissions, none of them being charged with executive functions to any extent but rather with study and report, each in its own field, with such cooperation with the executive agencies of the denomination as seems feasible.
MISSIONARY SOCIETIES
The general missionary societies have as their controlling membership the membership of the General Council itself. Meeting in separate sessions under the direction of their own officers, the membership of each of these societies is in large majority identical with that of the General Council, so that in matters of common concern action taken by the General Council may usually be taken by each of the societies without further discussion, thus giving unity of operation in matters of common concern and making the missionary societies the instru- ments of the churches themselves.
During the process of merger of the Congregational and Christian Societies the work is administered unitedly as shown in the following pages, although until corporate mergers can be effected each missionary organization continues its legal existence.
MEETINGS Meetings of the General Coimcil are held biennially In the odd numbered years.

A STATEMENT OF SOCIAL IDEALS
Adopted by the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States. October 24, 1925.
We believe in making the social and spiritual ideals of Jesus our test for community as well as for individual life; in strengthening and deepening the inner personal relationship of the individual with God, and recognizing his obligation and duty to society. This is crystallized in the two commandments of Jesus: "Love thy God and love thy neighbor." We believe this pattern ideal for a Christian social order involves the recognition of the sacredness of life, the supreme worth of each single personality, and our common membership in one another — the brotherhood of all. In short, it means creative activity in coopera- tion with our fellow human beings, and with God, in the everyday life of society and in the development of a new and better world social order. Translating this ideal
I. Into Education Means:
1. The building of a social order in which every child has the best oppor- tunity for development.
2- Adequate and equal educational opportunity for all, with the possibility of extended training for those competent.
3. A thorough and scientific program of religious and secular education designed to Christianize everyday life and conduct.
4. Conservation of health, including careful instruction in sex hygiene and home building, abundant and wholesome recreation facilities, and education for leisure, including a nation-wide system of adult education.
5. Insistence on constitutional rights and duties, including freedom of speech, of the press, and of peaceable assemblage.
6. Constructive education and Christian care of dependents, defectives, and delinquents, in order to restore them to normal life whenever possible, with kindly segregation for those who are hopelessly feebleminded. (This means that such institutions as the jails, prisons, and orphan asylums should be so con- ducted as to be genuine centers for education and health.)
7. A scientifically planned program of international education promoting peace and good-will and exposing the evils of war, intoxicants, illiteracy, and other social sins.
II. Into Industrial and Economic Relationship Means:
1. A reciprocity of service — that group interests, whether of labor or capital, must always be integrated with the welfare of society as a whole, and that society in its turn must insure justice to each group.
2. A frank abandonment of all efforts to secure something for nothing, and recognition that all ownership is a social trust involving Christian administration for the good of all and that the unlimited exercise of the right of private owner- ship is socially undesirable.
3. Abolishing child labor and establishing standards for the employment of minors which will insure maximum physical, intellectual and moral development.
4. Freedom from employment one day in seven, the eight-hour day as the present maximum for all industrial workers.
5. Providing safe and sanitary industrial conditions especially protecting women; adequate accident, sickness, and unemployment insurance, together with suitable provision for old age.
6. An effective national system of public employment bureaus to make possible the proper distribution of the labor forces of America.
7. That the first charge upon industry should be a minimum comfort wage and that all labor should give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.
8. Adequate provision for impartial investigation and publicity, conciliation and arbitration in industrial disputes.
9. The right of labor to organize with representatives of its own choosing and, where able, to share in the management of industrial relations.
10. Encouragement of the organization of consumers' cooperatives for the more equitable distribution of the essentials of life.
1933]
General Council
11. The supremacy of the service, rather than the profit motive in the ac- quisition and use of property on the part of both labor and capital, and the most equitable division of the product of industry that can be devised.
III. Into Agriculture Means:
1. That the farmer shall have access to the land he works, on such termi as will insure him personal freedom and economic encouragement, while society is amply protected by efficient production and conservation of fertility.
2. That the cost of market distribution from farmer to consumer shall be cut to the lowest possible terms, both farmers and consumers sharing in these economies.
3. That there shall be every encouragement to the organization of farmers for economic ends, particularly for cooperative sales and purchases.
4. That an efficient system of both vocational and general education of youths and adults living on farms shall be available.
5. That special efforts shall be made to insure the farmer adequate social institutions, including the church, the school, the library, means of recreation, good local government, and particularly the best possible farm home.
6. That there shall be a widespread development of organized rural com- munities, thoroughly democratic, completely cooperative, and possessed with the spirit of the common welfare.
7. That there shall be the fullest measure of friendly reciprocal cooperation between the rural and city workers.
IV. Into Racial Relations Means:
1. The practice of the American principle of the same protection and rights for all races who share our common life.
2. The elimination of racial discrimination, and substitution of full brotherly treatment for all races in America.
3. The fullest cooperation between the churches of various races, even though of different denominations.
4. Educational and social equipment for the special needs of immigrants, with government information bureaus.
V. International Relations Means:
1. The removal of every unjust barrier of trade, color, creed, and race, and the practice of equal justice for all nations.
2. The administration of the property and privileges within each country so that they will be of the greatest benefit not only to that nation but to all the world.
3. Discouragement of all propaganda tending to mislead peoples in their international relations or to create prejudice.
4. The replacement of selfish imperialism by such disinterested treatment of backward nations as to contribute the maximum to the welfare of each nation and of all the world.
5. The abolition of military armaments by all nations except for an internal police force.
6. That the church of Christ as an institution should not be used as an instrument or an agency in the support of war.
7. A permanent association of the nations for world peace and good-will, the outlawry of war, and the settling of all differences between nations by con- ference, arbitration, or by an international court.
We believe it is the duty of every church to investigate local moral and economic conditions as well as to know world needs. We believe that it is only as our churches themselves follow the example and spirit of Jesus in the fullest sense — translating these social ideals into the daily life of the church and the community — that we can ever hope to build the Kingdom of God on earth.
These affirmations we make as Christians and loyal citizens of our beloved country. We present them as an expression of our faith and patriotism. We urge upon all our citizens the support of our cherished institutions, faithfulness at the ballot, respect for law, and loyal support of its administrators. We believe that our country can and will make a great contribution to the realiza- tion of Christian ideals throughout the world.

FUNCTIONS
The several missionary organizations are related to the churches through identical membership, namely, that of the General Council. 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 work may be economically and efficiently administered. It serves as a court of reference for the decision of questions arising between two or more societies.
2 The promotion of income. 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 Council. At the 1923 meeting of the Council and of the Societies the Commission on Missions was elected by each of the missionary boards as its representative agency for presenting what Is known as "the common appeal" for our total missionary work. In 1925 this was enlarged to include the entire promotional work.
organization
1. Membership. The Commission consists of the thirty-six elected members of the Home Board, the thirty-six elected members of the Prudential Committee of the American Board and nine members at large, and the Moderator and Secretary of the National Council ex officiis. With them sit the chief promotional Secretaries of the Societies, and once each year the State Superintendents.
2. The Executive Committee. The details of the work of the Commission are carried forward by a selected Executive Committee, of whose operations the entire Commission is informed through the minutes.
3. Cooperative Council. For carrying out the plans of the Commission a small Cooperative Council has been constituted consisting of staff members of the Commission on Missions, the Home Boards, the American Board and State Conferences. This Council is set to disseminate information, cultivate interest and secure support for the benevolent work of the denomination, with the cooperation of the officers of the boards and conferences.
4. Other Committees. Chief among the other committees of the Commission are the Survey Committee, a Laymen's Advisory Committee, and a Committee on Missionary Education.
processes
1. Meetings. The Commission meets ordinarily but once a year. This meeting takes place in connection with the midwinter gathering of the Home Board and of the Prudential Committee of the American Board, thus economizing in time and travel expenses. The Executive Committee and the Cooperative Council meet as occasion requires.
2. Literature. One of the important functions of the Commission on Missions is the publication of literature setting forth our entire missionary enterprise.
3. Field Work. Under the general direction of the Secretaries 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 organiza- tions, is endeavoring to develop through actual contact with the churches those processes which seem to be most effective for disseminating missionary Infor- mation and stimulating benevolent contributions. This process is so intimately related to the financial operations of the local churches that this latter Interest is combined with the former, thus helping the churches to financial strength.
INFORMATION
The local church may ordinarily secure information directly from Its own state office. Persons not knowing to whom to write locally may communicate with the ComnHssion directly.
16 Year Book, Congregational and Christian Churches [1933 THE COMMISSION ON EVANGELISM AND DEVOTIONAL LIFE
Room 913, 287 Fourth Avenue, New York City.
This Commission was established by the National Council at Des Moines in 1904 to assist the churches in providing plans and programs for recruiting new members for the church and furnishing the churches material for their use in enriching the devotional life of the people.
It is composed of seven active and twenty corresponding members elected by the National Council and is charged by the National Coimcil to do two things:
FIRST: To bring before the churches the denominational program of evan- gelism 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 evan- gelism and devotion as are within its powers.
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 inter- pretation of life and join in the worship and service of the church.
2. The Pa.itor'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.

ITS CONTROL
The Corporation is under the direct control of the National Council of Congregational Churches of the United States, and the new Corporation is to be under like control of the General Council.
ITS BUSINESS
The Corporation holds the Pilgrim Memorial Fund as the foundation for the pension system for Congregational ministers administered by the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, and other trusts aggregating approximately $5,000,000.

Tlie A. B. C. F. M. is the mother of mission boards in North America. Founded in 1810 to make possible the realization of the vision of the man of the Haystack and his associates, it immediately invited the Presbyterian General Assembly to form a similar society with which it could cooperate, but the Assembly replied that one organization of the sort was enough and "urged its churches to adopt the American Board as their foreign missionary agency." The Baptist Missionary Union was formed when some of the first American Board Missionaries became Baptists. By 1826, the Presbyterians and the Re- formed Church in America had developed the United Foreign Missionary So- ciety, which in that year was merged with the American Board. The process of segmentation began in 1837 when the "Old School" Presbyterians left the American Board, followed in 1839 by the Central and Southern auxiliary boards. In 1846, "because of differences of opinion as to the Board's attitude toward slavery, some members withdrew to aid in organizing the American Missionary Association." In 1857, the Reformed Church in America withdrew to form its own Board and in 1870, the "New School" Presbyterians rejoined their "Old School" associates and transferred their support to the foreign mission board which they had formed.
The American Board maintains missions in East, West and South Africa, China, Japan, India, Ceylon, the Philippines, Micronesia, Mexico, Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Syria. The Czechoslovakian churches have now assumed entire responsibility for their work, although the American Board is making a

parting gift toward badly needed church buildings. The churches in Bulgaria and Micronesia have been asked to assume full responsibility within a brief period, for the mission work as a whole, although in each field one or two institutions may continue to be supported by the Board.
The administrative policy of the American Board has favored decentralized control of the work in recognition of the widely varying situations on different fields. This insures necessary flexibility in adaptation to local conditions and has made it possible for the missions to meet the increasing nationalistic spirit by a large measure of transfer or sharing of responsibilities with national Chris- tian bodies, as well as to participate in movements for church union in Bulgaria, India, the Philippines, China and Japan. The Board encourages the development of union institutions wherever they will increase efficiency. In the case of many of the educational institutions which it has founded, it has been able to secure independent boards of trustees to assume responsibility.
The American Board has encouraged the study of Rethinking Missions, the report of the Appraisal Commission of the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry by both its constituency in America and its missionaries and national associates abroad. It is cooperating in the various practical steps towards a more unified administration of the work abroad and has taken the lead in some of these steps. In an official statement adopted at Evanston on January 18, 1933, it ex- pressed enthusiastic approval of the underlying principles of the report, while taking serious issue with some of its positions and recommendations. In No- vember 1933, another statement was issued by the Prudential Committee giving more fully and in detail an account of what the Board is doing in cooperation with other Boards toward putting into practice the Laymen's proposals. During 1934 a thorough study of all fields and departments of work is being made by the Prudential Committee and members of the staff with a view to constructive advance.
For the year ended August 31, 1933, an operating deficit of $59,759.32 was incurred, making the present accumulated deficit $311,713.03. The total income including gifts designated for objects outside the regular budget was $1,426,884.66. The budget for the year to August 31, 1933, has again been reduced by cutting the appropriations for work on the field and by economies in the expenses at home. The number of missionary replacements is also being severely curtailed. The steady decline in apportionment gifts for the last nine years is presenting a grave problem to the Prudential Committee.
Statistical Summary
The American Board is responsible for a foreign parish of 55,244,000 people. There are 16 missions under 11 different flags. The stations connected with these missions number 94 and the outstations 2,124.

WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS
The Association represents the brotherly helping hand of the Congregational Christians stretched out to the unprivileged groups of America — particularly the .American Highlander, the Negro, Indian, Chinese and Japanese. Puerto Rican and Mexican. It remains, as it began, a Crusade of Brotherhood standing in a day of race friction and class discrimination for the undiluted application to human relations of Jesus' way of life.
Upon foundations put down in earlier days by the Association there stand today Hampton, Atlanta and Fisk universities, Berea and Piedmont colleges and such well-known enterprises as the Interracial Movement. It is today, as ever, laying foundations — in institutions, in public sentiment, in individual character. It is demonstrating the possibility of mutual cooperation between the races represented among us for the eradication of injustice, discrimination, ani- mosity and prejudice, and for the upbuilding of a truly democratic and Christian civilization.
Its activities as always are mainly in the field of education. With the de- velopment of more adequate tax-supported institutions among the Negroes, work with them yearly becomes more particularly high school and normal training, together with college, seminary and university education. In churches, in Sun- day schools, through primary schools, high and normal schools, theological seminaries, technical schools, hospitals and field work the representatives of the Association — Christian Ambassadors of Friendship — are developing leadership; to the end that each racial group may advance in cooperation with every other toward a more genuine application of the principles of life which distinguish brotherly men of good will.
The great proportion of our graduates among all races now in educational work is significant. So far as known none of them has ever been in court charged with crime. The degree of self-support achieved is witnessed by the fact that tuitions now paid equal at least ten times the original total budget of the Association and more than one half of the gifts of all the Congregational churches toward the annual budget.
Speaking for his race. Major Moton recently said: "I doubt if there is any of our leaders who has not been directly or indirectly influenced by The American Missionary Association."
Speaking of the past, James Bryce, honored Viscount, said: "The Negro has made more progress in the last sixty years than the white race in any six hundred years."
Our achievements under God have been substantial. The challenge of the present hour calls for renewed application to our vital task.

The Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers provides age annuities for Congregational ministers and incidental protection against the minister's per- manent total disability occurring during the years of active service, and for his family in case of iiis untimely death.
Its resources are derived from payments by the minister himself, contribu- tions of churches and individuals, legacies and conditional gifts and the dis- tributable income of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund.
The amount of annuity at annuity age depends on the accumulations to a member's credit.
Assets, December 31, 1933, $5,521,776; membership, including annuitants, 2,852; annuity payments $308,535; receipts for the Supplementary Fund from churches, individuals and legacies, $49,139. The most urgent matter before the Annuity Fund is an increase in these contributions for the Supplementary Fund which aids in maintaining Original Plan annuities at the maximum. Honor Roll of churches sharing the pastor's membership dues, 790.
PILGRIM MEMORIAL FUND
Established by vote of the National Council, October 13, 1917
287 Fourth Avenue, New York
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 turned over to the Board of Trustees of The Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers to aid in providing Age Annuities and Disability Annuities for Congre- gational ministers who become members of the Annuity Fund and Death Benefits for their widows and minor orphan children.
The Pilgrim Memorial Fund, December 31, 1933, stood at $4,996,341, in addition to which the accumulated profits from the sale of securities, held in a Profit Reserve Account, amounted to $314,576. The market value of the securities, December 31, 1933, showed a slight appreciation in comparison with the cost.
The ultimate objective of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund is $8,000,000. Legacies and memorial gifts will be added to the principal, as a permanent endowment.

objects
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.
MEMBiaiSHIP
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.

Secretary. — Rev. Charles C. Merrill, d. d.
This Board is maintained and controlled by the Congregational Conferences of the six New England states. It is an advisory agency in aiding pastoral settlements. Its rule is to malte recommendations to a church only in response to direct official request. It is the servant of the churches, and is entirely responsible to them.
Our business is to set before the churches clear and impartial and con- siderate 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 settlement. And as far as desired, and other duties permit, he speaks before associations of churches and ministerial unions in the interests of the work for which the Board stands.
The work of the office is large. We have carefully recorded state- ments 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 opportunity or Icnowledge; 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 settle- ments 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.

Andover Seminary has become affiliated with The Newton Theological Insti- tution to form the new Andover Newton Theological School which is located at Newton Centre, in the vicinity of Boston. The combination of the two schools and the location, in gi-eater Boston, make new and unusual advantages possible for theological students interested in taking their professional study in New England. The combined resources provide for an enrichment of the curriculum and an enlargement of the faculty. The library facilities are unexcelled.
The Andover Newton Theological School in affiliation with Harvard gives the students the privilege of taking any work in Harvard open to theological students and without additional expense. In greater Boston and New England are many of the oldest and most famous of the educational institutions of the country. As Andover Newton is in the midst of them, the students can enjoy the cultural and traditional advantages which bring college and pro- fessional students to Boston, not only from all over the country but from all over the world.
The co-operation of the churches in the vicinity offers many opportunities where, on the basis of co-operative scholarships, students can make their way and at the same time gain valuable and practical experience. The School offers scholarship grants, so far as it is able, to students dependent upon self-support and seeks to aid in securing for them church positions in which service can be given in return. Special fellowships are aweirded to exceptional students.
The School grants three degrees: B. D., S. T. M., and M. R. E. The B. D. is granted after three years' study to students who have had a college course. The M. R. E. is granted to women students with similar preparation after two years' study. The S. T. M. is granted after at least a year of graduate study and the presentation of a satisfactory thesis.

Robert Cashman, Business Manager.
The Chicago Theological Seminary, established in 1855 to furnish training for Christian leadership according to the highest academic standards, has been a pioneer in the introduction into the theological curriculum of several unique features designed to meet the changing spiritual needs of succeeding generations. For example. Dr. Graham Taylor was called to the chair of Christian Economics when such a professorship was practically unknown. Recent developments have been in the fields of research in personality problems; in studies of the city and rural churches; in culture through art and drama, literature and music; and In the supervision of the practical work of students with a view to their develop- ment as leaders of the institutions of religion in the modem world.
In 1915 the institution removed to the neighborhood of the University of Chicago, with which it is aflBliated through the Divinity School of the University. Thus Seminary students enjoy the advantages of a University which is inter- nationally known for its high standards and academic productiveness. In June, 1928, the new buildings of the Seminary were completed and dedicated.

The three distinct Schools of the Hartford Seminary Foundation offer training for all forms of Christian service. The thirty-acre campus with distinguished buildings gives equipment for nearly 250 courses offered by over fifty professors, instructors and lecturers. The Case Memorial Library of 191,831 volumes is one of the greatest theological libraries in the country. All classes are open to both men and women.
The Hartford Theological Seminary prepares college graduates for the ministry of the Gospel. It uses the resources of modern scholarship in the service of the Christian faith in training for ministerial work. The degree of b. d. is granted for the completion with credit of the regular course. Degrees of s. t. m. and ph. d. are granted for advanced work.
The School of Religious Education trains men and women for positions of leadership in the field of religious education, and provides a thorough practical training for lay workers in other forms of church service. A two-years' course for those who have had two years of college work or are graduates of normal school leads to the degree of b. r. e. For college graduates a more advanced course is offered, leading to m. r. e., m. a., or ph. d.
The Kennedy School of Missions furnishes Special Missionary Preparation for missionaries, candidates and appointees of all Mission Boards. It has served most of the large Mission Boards of the United States and Canada. Its alumni are in all the great mission fields. Degrees of m. a. and ph. d. are granted for advanced work.

The Graduate School of Theology provides the opportunity for college grad- uates to get adequate training for Christian service in the ministry of the church, secretaryship of the Yoimg Women's Christian Association or Young Men's Christian Association 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 September of 1931 the School of Theology moved into new quarters. It now occupies a group of buildings designed by Mr. Cass Gilbert and made possible by the generous gift of two friends of the School, the late Mrs. D. Willis James and Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The theological group, built in North Italian style, is composed of two buildings connected by cloisters to form a quadrangle. One of these buildings is used for classroom, chapel and administration purposes, and the other for dormitories for single and married students, a refectory, a library, a recreation room and a gymnasium. These new buildings compose a quadrangle of unusual beauty and utility. Students in the School of Theology use the main library of Oberlin College which contains 332,866 bound volumes and as many pamphlets. The library files include the leading secular and religious newspapers and the leading monthlies and quar- terlies. The Oberlin library is the largest college library in the United States. The library and seminar rooms in the theological quadrangle house about twenty thousand of the most active books in the theological section and the periodicals required by theological students. The gymnasium and recreation rooms in the quadrangle are well equipped for physical training and indoor games. The athletic fields and tennis courts of Oberlin College provide amply for out door exercise.
Terms of Admission. — College graduation and church membership are re- quired. Men and women of any denomination, race, or color are admitted. This year we find fifteen denominations are represented in the student body.
Degrees in Course. — The degree of Bachelor of Divinity is granted at the completion of a three years' course covering ninety semester hours of work chosen from a broad range of courses set up in a curriculum which recently has been restudied and revised. The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of The- ology are also offered.
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 privileges 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 advantages. 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 community make complete self-support possible.
