BY-LAWS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER- ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY

ARTICLE I

Terminology

Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.

ARTICLE II

Denominational Basis

Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum- stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern- ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination in all matters.

ARTICLE III

Doctrinal Basis

This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds of the Church Universal and of this Communion.

ARTICLE IV

Membership

Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates, together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officiis), the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem- bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.

Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without vote.

MINUTES OF THE

151st ANNUAL MEETING of the MASSACHUSETTS

CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND

MISSIONARY SOCIETY

May 16, 17, 1950

Central Congregational Church Fall River, Massachusetts

TUESDAY MORNING

At nine-fifteen the Chaplain, Rev. Claude Bond- of Salem, led the Conference in a memorial service for our former President, Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, D.D. The following prayer was offered by Chaplain Bond:

"Almighty and most merciful Father, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Age after age, thy children have sought thee and have found that of thy faithfulness and loving kindness there is no end. Be thou now in our midst; take thou the veil from every heart and join us in one com- munion with all thy prophets and saints who have trusted in thee and were not ashamed. Not of our worthiness but of thy tender mercy, hear our prayer through Christ our Lord.

Accept our humble thanksgiving for him whom we now remember with quiet minds and reverent hearts. For his life among us, for the encourage- ment he gave to so many, for his devotion to thee and to thy Kingdom, we give thee thanks.

For his gracious courtesy and forbearance, for his generous understand- ing and sympathy, for his courageous faith and steadfast loyalty, we give thee thanks. We thank thee for his 'little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love,' for his gracious influence that has reached out through many lives into many places to heal and bless.

We praise thee for thy goodness that withheld not his portion in the joys of this life and for thy guiding hand along the way of his pilgrimage. Especially do we thank thee for thy grace that kindled in him the love of thy name ; that enabled him to fight the good fight, endure unto the end, and become more than conqueror through him that loveth us.

Do thou bless, as only thou canst bless, with that peace which the world can neither give nor take away, those most near and dear to him. Be thou

to them, O Father of mercies, an unfailing source of comfort and strength and grant them the assurance that 'life is ever lord of death and (that) love can never lose its own !'

And finally, O Lord, as thou dost accept our humble thanksgiving for him whom we have loved and lost a while, wilt thou grant that we, being stead- fast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted in love, may be to him and to all who have died in the faith living memorials through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Rev. Harry L. Meyer, pastor of the host church, gave greetings, to which the Moderator, Rev. Horace G. Robson, responded. Mr. Robson appointed the following committees :

30 Minutes [1950

The Advance Reports were accepted as printed, with the follow- ing correction in Dr. Coe's report:

I shall ask you to accept my advance report with the inclusion of this paragraph taken from my full report, the insertion to he at the end of the first paragraph concerning the Merger:

"During the past week two members of the Continuation Committee who originally visited me, upon seeing my report, came to inform me that I had misstated their case. I asked them to write out a summary of what they had said. Here is their written statement of what they originally said: 'that if the State Conference further promotes the interests of the Merger in the light of Judge Steinbrink's decision, they will use legal weapons to prevent the consummation of the Merger on the State level.' I am glad to present this as information and place it as. an addition to my advance report. However, I do not change my original statement.

The following recommendations of the Trustees were adopted: THAT the Allotment assessments for the coming year be twenty-four

cents as at present: sixteen cents for the General Council and eight cents

for the Conference.

THAT for the coming year the Conference take of the undesignated gifts to Our Christian "World Mission a sum equivalent to 15% of the total gifts to Our Christian World Mission, plus 1% for the Boston Seaman's Friend Society.

THAT a committee of nine be established, to be known as the Committee on the Town and Country Church, three members of which shall be elected for a term of one year, three for two years, three for three years, and there- after three persons each year for a term of three years.

Dr. Kendig B. Cully, Chairman of the Business Committee, re- ported resolutions on behalf of the Social Action Committee, which were acted on as follows :

DISPLACED PERSONS

Since the Displaced Persons Act was passed by- Congress in June, 1948, more than 125 assurances for individuals, married couples, and families have been offered by the people of our churches, approximately 50 of which have to date had a part in this great humanitarian project. Displaced Persons have now arrived in this country to the extent of approximately one half of those provided for through assurances offered in the name of our churches. Unforeseen difficulties have resulted in a general retardation of the rate of admission of Displaced Persons into our country, and in some instances, especially where sponsors have applied for particular persons and families, the delay in their arrival has caused no little inconvenience. While we regret this, we urge continued cooperation in this vital matter.

1950] Minutes 31

The so-called Blanket Assurance plan, whereby Displaced Persons are allowed to enter the country through assurances offered by the denomina- tions, is now in operation, and preliminary results indicate a greater facility in helping these people in the months ahead.

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED: That

1. We express appreciation to all families and churches having a part in helping with Displaced Persons ;

2. We urge all churches not yet having had a part in this work to accept responsibility for at least one individual, couple, or family, before September 1, 1950.

This resolution was adopted.

GAMBLING

A recent study of gambling, conducted by the Massachusetts Citizens Committee, reveals an amazing and disturbing increase of participation in gambling activities on the part of the American people since the close of the war.

Equally disturbing is the evidence offered that gambling is now promoted as a massive, illicit business enterprise, and has come increasingly under the control of large gambling syndicates, which in turn have exercised a sinister influence on local, state, and national government.

Conservative estimates indicate that at least $12 billion and possibly as much as $21 billion, are now diverted from channels of legitimate business investments and charity, to support gamblers, while society pays a terrific toll in moral and social consequences and in destruction of human values. Therefore be it

RESOLVED : That we urge our churches to refrain from the use of gambling techniques within their own organizations. Be it further

RESOLVED: That we urge our people to:

1. Refrain from participating in gambling activities, including those based upon relatively modest amounts of money;

2. Resist and oppose patterns of gambling in organizations with which we are associated, even though for so-called good causes;

3. Insist upon the proper enforcement of Chapter 271 of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which states that gambling, the promotion and permitting of lotteries, and the selling or advertising of lottery tickets, are punishable by fines up to $2000 or imprisonment of up to one year; as well as local and federal laws against gambling.

The following amendment to this resolution was offered by Dr. Fowell :

32 Minutes [1950

THAT we go on record in opposition to the Beano Bill now before the General Court.

The original resolution, with the amendment, was adopted.

RACE RELATIONS

Great strides have been made toward the realization of the Christian and democratic ideal of equality of opportunity and responsibility for all. Nevertheless, we are still prone to group and generalize in our estimate of people according to a preconceived and irrational set of values, and to deny to many individuals the means for making their proper contributions to society. Therefore, be it

RESOLVED : That we underscore the need to redouble our efforts to eradicate patterns of discrimination because of age, color, race, nationality, or creed, wherever they exist as barriers to opportunity or insults to human dignity, by supporting adequate legislation and education.

This resolution was adopted.

An address, "You, Too, Can Bring Them Back Alive", was given by Rev. Mrs. Margaret Blair Johnstone of Essex Parish, Wadhams, New York.

The following greetings were received in a telegram from Mrs. Ralph M. Timberlake:

"Please extend to the 151st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congre- gational Conference and Missionary Society my cordial greetings, and express my deep appreciation to the Associations, churches and individuals who have, during the past several months sent messages which have helped me realize in what high esteem so many held my husband. I am most grateful to the Board of Trustees for the beautiful illuminated scroll, which will always be cherished as a token of their affection for Ralph, and appre- ciation of his fifteen years as President of the Conference. Best wishes to all who are now responsible for carrying on the program of the Confer- ence, and my prayers that the work of Christ in the Commonwealth may be strengthened under their leadership."

The session closed with hymn and prayer led, in the unavoidable absence of the Chaplain, by Rev. Roy L. Minich of Maiden.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON Dr. Roy L. Minich opened the session with devotions. The Massachusetts Committee for the Continuation of Congrega- tional Christian Churches presented its point of view on the Merger and the appeal, through its chairman, Rev. Joseph J. Russell of Holbrook, and the following members: Rev. Franklin G. Loehr,

1950] Minutes 33

Rev. George W. Owen, Mr. Edward F. Mann, Mr. James A. Cush- man, and Rev. Harry R. Butman.

Acting for the Business Committee, Dr. Cully presented Rev. Eugene M. Bushong, who made a statement on behalf of an informal committee in favor of an appeal on the Merger case, with a request for contributions to aid the appeal.

Dr. Cully presented the following resolutions, all of which were adopted :

GAMBLING BE IT RESOLVED : That we urge our people to write or wire their senators and representatives in the General Court, urging the defeat of the Beano Bill.

CIVIL LIBERTIES

We believe that the greatest calamity which can befall democracy is to be seen in a concern for the means of its defense which is so great that it uses undemocratic methods in that defense. We believe that the Mundt- Nixon bill represents a type of legislation which, although well intended, would ultimately destroy the very institutions it seeks to protect. There- fore, be it

RESOLVED: That we call upon the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society to register its opposition to the Mundt- Nixon bill and all similar bills at both state and national levels, and to reaffirm our faith in true democratic practices, to meet the challenge of our times. We are specifically opposed to the national Mundt-Nixon bill and to Massachusetts House Bill No. 2205, both of which we believe rep- resent greater dangers than those they seek to overcome.

PENAL INSTITUTIONS

We favor legislation designed to aid more largely in the rehabilitation of criminal offenders during the period of their confinement in penal institu- tions, and urge support of House Bill No. 2404, which would make possible more adequate work and rehabilitation programs for those confined in the Women's Reformatory in Framingham.

We also believe that the equalization of penalties for men and women upon conviction for similar crimes is in keeping with the principles of democratic government. Too long have women been penalized more heavily than men for exactly the same crimes.

We urge, therefore, further revision of laws defining criminal offenses and providing for punishment in such a way as to represent greater justice and more enlightened policies of penology.

34 Minutes [1950

PUBLIC SCHOOLS RESOLVED: That we reaffirm our high regard for free public schools as a means of training children for life in a Christian, democratic society ;

THA T we view these schools as partners with the churches in establishing such Christian virtues as honesty, industry, charity, justice, respect for others, obedience to law, and temperance;

THAT we view with great concern the frequent lack of proper school facilities, trained teachers, and financial support in this period of increasing school enrollment;

THAT we deplore the fact that Massachusetts has not moved ahead in recent years, as have many other states, by way of improving buildings, increasing teachers' salaries, raising educational requirements for teachers, and strengthening the morale of students and teachers.

A resolution on temperance was referred back to the Business Committee.

An address, "Christian Footnotes to New Problems of Industrial Power", was given by Rev. Francis W. McPeek, Industrial Rela- tions Secretary of the Council for Social Action.

The following resolutions, presented by Dr. Cully, on behalf of the Social Action Committee, were adopted:

TEMPERANCE

WHEREAS the results of the use of liquor are making themselves evident throughout all our communities, and

WHEREAS the large profits of the industry result in tremendous advertising displays in magazines, newspapers, television, on the stage and in the movies, and

WHEREAS the public is subject to indignities resulting in the invasion of ordinary rights of young people and adults on the streets, in the sub- ways, and in public conveyances:

Therefore we RECOMMEND

1. That we call attention to the legal requirements that temperance be taught in the public schools. We urge strict observance and enforcement of this law, and commend those school authorities who are heeding this law.

2. That Christian individuals be outspoken against the serving of liquor in organizations on social occasions of which they are a part.

3. That we commend the Christian Science Monitor and other periodicals for their refusal to publish liquor advertising.

4. That we commend the Massachusetts Legislature for passing House Bill 815, designed to abolish the false-front restaurants which have been saloons in disguise. We urge the full co-operation of local licensing com- mittees and police forces in the interest of proper enforcement of this new law.

5. That we commend to ministers the preaching of temperance sermons, the securing of training relative to helping alcoholics, and the conducting of seminars and conferences to discuss matters pertaining to the prevention and control of alcoholism.

6. That we commend Alcoholics Anonymous for their effective work in the rehabilitation of alcoholics.

40 Minutes [1950

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

In view of the extent to which the nations of the world look to America at this time for leadership and practical help for the achievement of world order and peace, we recommend to our representatives in Washington the following, for consideration in our foreign policy:

1. Vigorous support of the United Nations. We do not agree with the suggestion that the United Nations be reorganized in a form which would exclude Russia and other Communist countries. Such a step would, we believe, widen the existing chasm between East and West and make war more probable. We urge, on the contrary, that the United States increase its financial support of the United Nations; that it work through the United Nations wherever possible; and that a careful study be made of proposals for strengthening the organization, such as modifying the use of the veto in the Security Council.

2. A bold and creative program of technical aid to the underdeveloped countries, to be conducted primarily through the United Nations. We support the suggestion of Senator Brien MacMahon, urging the use of the resources of all nations for the rehabilitation of the people of the world, as a first step in a broadly-conceived international action to lift the living standards of the world and to establish peace.

3. A determined effort to bring our domestic life into harmony with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The fact is that our struggle against totalitarianism and our advocacy of human rights are weakened by the denial of civil rights to many of our own citizens. What we are, in some areas of our American life, speaks so loudly that the people of other countries cannot hear what we say in behalf of democracy.

4. Determined exploration of the possibilities of world government. We do not urge world government as a practicable alternative to war in the years immediately ahead, but we believe that the facts of our interde- pendent world call for something more than lip-service to the ultimate goal of world government.

5. A refusal to accept our present differences with the Soviet Union as irreconcilable and war as inevitable. We deplore any policy which assumes that our case is wholly righteous and that the Soviet Union has no cause at all to fear or suspect the Western nations. Such an attitude is not in accord with the facts and it can have no issue save in a war of annihilation.

6. A re-examination of our approach to the problem of the control of atomic energy. We suggest that the control of atomic energy cannot be separated from the whole problem of peace. We therefore urge our gov- ernment to take the lead in outlawing the use of the atomic and hydrogen bombs. As Christians we reject the theory that the mass annihilation of people is ever justifiable.

1950] Minutes 41

COMIC BOOKS

Whereas we recognize some progress has been made in voluntary control of undesirable comics and salacious literature, we continue to urge the establishment of local committees to check facts, write letters to magazines, censor use of pornographic pictures by calling upon newsdealers, and hold- ing conferences. We continue to urge that censorship be exercised pri- marily through educational influence rather than legislation.

AMNESTY FOR CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS Some thousands of conscientious objectors to the World War II draft still have limitations upon their citizenship because of having been con- victed of the felony of disobedience to the demand of military service. A considerable number are still serving prison terms because of their stand for the sake of conscience. Regardless of our opinions about military service, we agree that it is unjust to continue penalizing those who have taken seriously the traditional American belief in the integrity of conscience. We note further that eight Presidents, beginning with Washington's pardon of the Whiskey Rebellion participants, and continuing through Franklin Roosevelt's Christmas amnesty to World War I conscientious objectors, have followed the policy of pardoning political offenders.

Therefore we urgently petition President Truman forthwith to grant full pardon and restoration of citizenship rights to these conscientious objectors.

JAPAN INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION, INC. WHEREAS American Christians now have an opportunity to extend the hand of Christian fellowship to the Japanese, in helping them to the reconstruction of their new democratic State, and

WHEREAS the Japan International Christian University Foundation, Inc., has been organized to establish and help to maintain a Christian University of high academic standards on a Christian basis through an appeal for $10,000,000 from the United States and Canada, and

WHEREAS the quota for the State of Massachusetts is $382,200., in which we Congregationalists desire to have our share, and

WHEREAS the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches, American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and the Committee on Women's Work, have endorsed and recommended the project,

BE IT RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Confer- ence and Missionary Society endorse this project and recommend its sup- port to our people.

42 Minutes [1950

The following resolution, presented by a group of individuals, was passed by a vote of 108 to 56:

RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society urge individuals to write to President Truman and members of Congress opposing the appointment of another representative to the Vatican.

We follow the recommendation of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, which urges us to give special attention to the principle of the separation of Church and State, which is being challenged at this point. We take this position because:

1. We recognize that tremendous pressure is being exerted on President Truman by the Catholic Hierarchy to accredit a permanent envoy to the Vatican.

2. It is contrary to American tradition to give special recognition to any religious group. We covet no special privilege for ourselves or any one else.

3. In a time of growing totalitarian tendencies we, as Congregational Christians, interested in pure democracy, wish to take a firm stand against any possible danger towards Church and State alliance.

The following resolutions, presented by the Business Committee, were adopted:

Inasmuch as this, the 151st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Con- gregational Conference and Missionary Society, has enjoyed the hospitality, the spiritual and material blessings of the many groups and individuals of Fall River during its stay here, it is therefore

RESOLVED: That we extend deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks

Truly with such loyal friends to help us, our Conference has been able to complete its business free from any disturbance, and full of busy activity, joy and peace.

RESOLVED: That we express to our retiring Moderator, Rev. Horace G. Robson, our deep appreciation for his skillful, gracious and understand- ing leadership during the entire Annual Meeting; and to our Minister and President, the Secretary, and all others from our Boston headquarters, for their untiring and fruitful efforts on behalf of the Conference; wishing them continued health and joy in service, and promising them our prayers to God on their behalf.

On a motion made and seconded, it was

VOTED: That the Conference acknowledge the invitation from Grace Church, Framingham, to hold its next Annual Meeting there, and to refer the invitation as well as any others which may be forth- coming, to the Board of Trustees and the Staff of the Conference for action.

VOTED: That the following report of the Credentials Commit- tee be accepted:

The Necrology for 1949-1950 was presented by the President of the Conference. (See page 103).

Rev. Douglas Horton, Minister of the General Council, addressed the Conference on "The Larger Fellowship".

This was followed by the presentation of the new Moderator, Mr. Sidney F. Law.

The closing devotions were led by Chaplain Bond, who offered the following prayer :

Almighty and Eternal God, thou Father of us all, as thou hast begun a good work in us, wilt thou perform it until the day of Jesus Christ; grant that we may ever remain steadfast in faith, united in spirit, and charitable in purpose. Draw us to thyself, O Lord, and grant us thy Holy Spirit.

44 Minutes [1950

Give us wisdom and strength sufficient unto our tasks, for we confess that alone we cannot bear the load of the work we have to do for Christ and thy Kingdom. Seeing, we see not and hearing, we hear not; grant us eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts to understand. We can do nothing unless thou prosper the work of our hands upon us; in our weakness make us strong, O Lord! We believe; help thou our unbelief! Restore unto us the joy of thy salvation and make us to be in spirit and in truth the living, ministering Body of Christ.

If we have here done or said that which is displeasing to thee, wilt thou forgive. We would be thine ; let us never fall away from thee.

We pray thy blessing upon all thy people everywhere, that thou wouldst be pleased in thine infinite wisdom to work thy Holy and Blessed Will upon us and in us, fashioning us into one united Church. Whatever be our differences, great or small, make us ever mindful that we are all one in Christ Jesus. Let nothing break the blessed bond of union between believers, but may it be increasingly strengthened in all thy people every- where for the sake of thy Son, our Saviour.

Finally, we commend one another to thy care and guidance as we return to our churches to do the work we have to do; may we go strengthened and sustained in the assurance that thou art sufficient unto all our need, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Adjournment was followed by a second showing of the motion pic- ture, "Second Chance".

1950] Report of the Treasurer 51

May 5, 1950

Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President,

Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society,

Boston, Massachusetts.

Sir:

We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Con- ference and Missionary Society and of Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society, Trustee, as at March 31, 1950, and the related statements of income for the year ended at that date. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1950, were verified by inspection, and we confirmed the cash in banks and in office at that date.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of income present fairly the financial position of the Society and of the Society as Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1950, and the results of their operations for the year ended at that date in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

PATTERSON, TEELE AND DENNIS

ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT

In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization should still pay its own charges. Twenty-four cents per member is asked this year of the Churches. Sixteen cents of the twenty-four goes to the General Council (formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col- lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.

BEQUESTS

Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund, the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.

If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these directions will be carefully observed.

Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.

FORM OF BEQUEST

I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of Dollars.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY

1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges, the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.

2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.

3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.

4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.

5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the President or Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.

6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except for special reasons satisfactory, to the President.

7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and worker.

8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.

9. We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con- ference grants in the year 1949-1950 by placing the reference § before the names of these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches and Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year the letter "d" appears after the reference §. Special grants will be listed, as usual, on the following page.

STATISTICAL TABLES

EXPLANATORY

The tables which follow comprise:

1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in the Year Book.

2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers.

3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of membership, the residence and his "employment."

4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, and deaths.

The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a cross reference on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name. Stars before the names of churches indicate the payment of the allotment dues for the year reported.

Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1950. Admissions and removals cover the year 1949. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and scholars, January 1, 1950, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as maintained by the reporting church.

The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists .of the local Associations which follow the tables.

"Ordained" denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry by the "laying-on of hands." "Called" denotes the date of the beginning of hia present pastorate.

In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical Tables pastors installed are marked"*"; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or recognized by council, are not marked;'1!/" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a yoked (double or triple) field.

Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to"none," but mean"no report", but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.

Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll.

In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk * indicates that the church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the minister is paid in addition to the stated salary. An"x" indicates that repairs were made on church property during the year.

The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published offers the reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.

In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church. Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the churches grouped together in the federated church.
