THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

OF THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES OF THE UNITED STATES.

Organized Oberlin, Ohio, Nov. 17, 1871. Corporation for the National Coiincil of the Congregational Churches of the United States, chartered in Connecticut, 1909.

287 Fourth Avenue, New York

STATEMENT OF FAITH Adopted at Kansas City, 1913

The Congregational Churches of the United States, by delegates in National Council assembled, reserving all the rights and cherished memories belonging to this organization under its former constitution and declaring the steadfast allegiance of the churches composing the Council 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, and affirming our loyalty to the basic principles of our representative democracy, hereby set forth the things most surely believed among us concerning faith, polity and fellowship.

FAITH

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

POLITY

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

THE WIDER FELLOWSHIP

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

PURPOSE

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

MEMBERS

"The voting membership of the National Council is made up as follows: 'The churches in each District Association shall be represented by one delegate. Each Association having more than ten churches shall be entitled to elect one addi- tional delegate for each additional ten churches or major fraction thereof. The churches in each State Conference shall be represented by two delegates, one of whom shall be a woman. Each Conference having churches whose aggregate membership is more than ten thousand shall be entitled to elect two additional delegates for each additional ten thousand members or major fraction (i.e., 5,001 or more) thereof, one-half of whom shall be women. States having associations but no conference, or vice versa, are entitled to their full representation.' "

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

MEETINGS

Meetings of the National Council are held biennially, the meeting of 1931 occurring at Seattle, Wash., in the early summer.

1930] National Council 5

NATIONAL COUNCIL ORGANIZATION

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

The central function of the National Council is to provide a gathering for useful discussion of questions of concern to the churches and so to furnish 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 the fellowship of the churches and of co- ordinating the various agencies, an office is maintained, with a Secretary sup- ported by such associates and assistants as seem to be needful.

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

THE CORPORATION FOR THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

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

This Corporation is prepared to serve with full dependability any of our Congregational interests requiring a trustee. (See page 22.)

THE BOARDS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

The Council has caused to be created two administrative boards which are now responsible to it, namely, the Congregational Board of Ministerial Relief, and the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers. For statements of the organization and activities of these boards see pages 26, 29, 30.

THE COMMISSIONS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

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

The functions of the Commission on Missions are to correlate the adminis- tration of the several missionary societies and boards affiliated with the Council in the interest of economy and "efficiency, and to promote the appeal for benev- olent funds. Through this Commission it is possible for the Council to keep in touch with the wide range of benevolent activity of the Congregational churches. (See page 20.)

The Commission on Evangelism and Devotional Life maintains an office with an employed staff. Its name indicates the general field in which it operates (see page 21). 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 de- nomination as seems feasible. A full list of the Commissions is given on pages 11-15.

MISSIONARY SOCIETIES AND THE NATIONAL COUNCIL

All but one of the Missionary Societies antedate in organization the National Council itself. They were organized as self-perpetuating corporations. Tech- nically this is still true, but practically all the general Missionary Societies have as their controlling membership the membership of the National Council itself. Meeting in separate sessions under the direction of their own officers, the mem- bership of each of these Societies is in large majority identical with that of the National Council, so that in matters of common concern action taken by the National 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 instruments of the churches themselves.

6 Congregational-Christian Year-Book [1930

THE PRINCIPLES AND ORGANIZATION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The following Principles are generally accepted and proclaimed by the Christian churches. There is no uniform phrasing of them, however.

PRINCIPLES

I. Christ the only Head of the Church. II. Christian a sufficient name for the followers of Christ.

III. Christian character the only basis or test of fellowship and membership.

IV. The Holy Scriptures our only creed.

V. Individual interpretation of the scriptures, the privilege and duty of every believer.

VI. The union of all the followers of Christ.

These six Principles have frequently been summed up in this one basic principle :

"The Church of Christ is One; it embraces all those who have been accepted of Christ as his real disciples; and, in its whole and in its parts, it should be so organized, named, and governed as to include all and exclude none of those whom Christ has so accepted."

ORGANIZATION

The local church is the unit. A group of local churches, associating them- selves together for fellowship and mutual helpfulness, constitute a conference. Conferences ordain ministers. The membership of conferences consists of their ministers and of delegates elected by the churches. The membership of the General Convention consists of the officers of the convention; members of the Boards of Missions, Christian Education, Publications, Evangelism and Life Serv- ice, Finance; heads of church colleges and seminaries; editors of national church periodicals, delegates elected by the local conferences. The conferences meet annually. The General Convention meets biennially.

General Board: Officers of the General Convention; members of the Mission, Christian Education, Publications. Evangelism and Life Service, and Finance Boards; editors, managers, administrative and field secretaries; presidents of in- stitutions of learning; president of the Woman's Mission Board. There are about fifty members. The Board meets annually, and when in session, it is the General Convention ad interim.

Executive Committee consists of the four general officers and the executive secretaries of the six boards.

Mission Board has two departments — home and foreign — with six members directing each department.

Ajro-Convention is represented in the General Convention by its general officers and by elected delegates.

Representation in the united body. The General Council of the Congre- gational and Christian Churches, is provided for in paragraphs II, III, IV of the "Plan of Union."

Regional Conventions — A number of conferences in a territory have united themselves into regional conventions, as follows: New England, Metropolitan, Central, Western, and Southern. These meet at intervals for fellowship, inspira- tion, and for the development of the work in their respective territories.

Additional Agencies: Board of Control to manage Franklinton Christian College (Afro) ; Woman's Mission Board; Bureaus of Christian Stewardship, Min- isterial Supply, Social Service; Commission on Christian Unity.

Institutions of Learning: Defiance College and the Christian Divinity School, Defiance, Ohio; Elon College at Elon College, N. C; Palmer College (Junior), (inactive), Albany, Mo.; Union Christian College (inactive), Merom, Ind.; Palmer Institute-Starkey Seminary, Lakemont, N. Y.; Bethlehem College (Piedmont Junior), Wadley, Ala.; Franklinton College (Afro), Franklinton, N. C.

The Christian Publishing Association is a corporation for the publishing of religious books, tracts, and periodicals. It has the same membership as the General Convention, and meets at the same time and place as the Convention. Its Board of Trustees and the Board of Publications of the General Convention are the same persons.

1930] National Council 9

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 Industry 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 efi!orts 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.

10 Congregational-Christian Year-Book [1930

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 Agricultupe Means:

1. That the farmer shall have access to the land he works, on such terms 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- mimities, 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.

SUMMARY OF 1930 CHRISTIAN CHURCH GENERAL BOARD ACTIONS

General Board Items

Rev. Wilson P. Minton, D. D., was approved as a Secretary for the Com- mission on Missions, and Rev. Abram W. Sparks was approved for the Town and Country Department in the united churches; Mrs. F. E. Bullock was elected to the Board of Finance, succeeding Mr. Perry G. Yantis, deceased; Committee on Ministerial Relief and Retiring Annuities was continued to make survey and report at Seattle; approved publishing a joint Congregational-Christian "Who's Who" book; approved plans looking to the merging of Franklinton Christian College and Brick College, establishing a Franklinton School of Religion; author- ized the sale of Franklinton Christian College property; advised churches to begin their church year with January first; approved the plans of the Board of Evangelism and Life Service to balance its accounts as of January 1, 1931; appealed to churches and ministers to seek to keep a high morale and faithful service during these days of depression, and to render their full share of service and giving for the united work now undertaken.

Home Missions and Church Extension The Home Mission and Church Extension Department considered carefully the needs of the home field, making such adjustments in the recommended appropriations as seemed wise under the rule of a 20% reduction each year un- less unusual circumstances develop. Plans were outlined for imiting the work of the Home Boards January 1, 1931, and for the liquidation of our indebtedness at an early date. The Congregational Home Boards were made the agents of the Department ,of Home Missions and Church Extension for the administration of its work. It was also constituted the depository of all current funds of this Board. The Board approved the merger of Franklinton Christian College with Brick Junior College. It recommends the employment of an attorney, or attorneys, to work out the legal details of the union of all our boards. Progress was noted in many places in the home field. New buildings were erected in Brooklyn, New York; Troy and South Solon, Ohio; Antioch at Frankfort, Indiana, and improvements were made at Hyde Park, Brooklyn, New York; Riverdale, Dayton, Ohio, and in other fields. The united budget should be fully met this year. Special effort will be required because of the natural confusion arising from changes in plans and organizations. Hearty cooperation will bring happy results in our united service.

Foreign Missions The Foreign Mission Department announced (October, 1930) that the united American Board (Congregational) Mission and Christian Church Mission in

1930] General Convention 19

Japan held its first meeting at Arima May 28, 1930, and the united Congre- gational and Christian Japanese churches, October 3-5, 1930, both groups func- tioning as single units since April 1, 1931. Announced completion of arrange- ments for merging all administrative work January 1, 1931; that for Japan with the American Board at Boston and that for Puerto Rico with the American Missionary Association at New York. Both have elected to their Boards members nominated by the Christian Church. Budgets for 1931 of $27,109.75 for former Christian Church work in Japan, and $10,205.00 for Puerto Rico were recom- mended to, and adopted by, the Am_erican Board and the American Missionary Association respectively as part of the merged budgets. Arrangements were made to transfer to these boards all Foreign Mission fimds received from January 1, 1931, on an agreed percentage basis. Arranged to take care of the indebtedness of the department as of December 31, 1930, and to handle permanent funds until further instructions from the Seattle Convention.

Christian Education

The Board of Christian Education adjusted itself to its program of merger with the corresponding departments of the Congregational Churches as of January first. A special committee consisting of Doctors W. A. Harper, H. Shelton Smith, and W. G. Sargent was created to meet with a like committee from the Congregational group to work out the details. This meeting was held in Boston November 25, 1930, and all arrangements were made for the merging of the work as of January 1, 1931. Miss Lucy M. Eldredge becomes Associate Secretary of Young People's Work with Harry Thomas Stock of the Congregational Education Society. Miss Eldredge maintains her office in the C. P. A. Building, Dayton, Ohio, and her primary responsibility is in the field of Young People's Work, especially in Christian Churches, combining with this such assistance and help as she may be able to give to the young people of Congregational Churches. Other details of our Christian Education program, such as matters connected with Leadership Training, Missionary Education, and other phases will be shifted as rapidly as possible to the Boston office. There will be a Rally Day offering in the fall, the funds from which will make possible continuing the work outlined, under the direction of the Congregational Education Society, which will serve Congregational and Christian Churches in the field of religious education. It was voted to turn over to Defiance College whatever funds were on hand as of January 1, 1931.

Finance

Guest Book expenses were prorated same as budget funds; Joint Year-Book and Joint Pre-Council Book were approved; publishing of Bulletins was author- ized, the Board of Publications to pay cost of same; plans were formulated for channeling benevolent funds after January 10, 1931; Board of Publications to assist in Christian unity expenses to the amount of two hundred dollars; emergency appropriations were made to Franklinton College, the Foreign Mission Department, and the Publications Merger Committee; the General Convention budget of $12,300 was approved; beginning January 1, 1931, a united appeal to be made to all churches for support of the united work.

Publications Merger Committee

The Committee reported the merging of the Church and Simday School publications of the Congregational and Christian churches as being completed October 1, 1930. The Committee was continued, with Mr. Hermon Eldredge as chairman.

Editors

Rev. Frank G. Coffin, D. D., and Mr. Hermon Eldredge were elected Asso- ciate Editors of The Congregationalist and Herald of Gospel Liberty, and Mr. Endredge was re-elected Editor of Christian Church Sunday School publications, and Associate Editor of Congregational Sunday School publications.

functions The several missionary organizations are related to the churches through

identical membership, namely, that of the National 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 National Council. At the 1923 meeting of the Council and of the Societies the members of the Commission on Missions were elected by each of the missionary boards as its representative agency for presenting what is known as "the common appeal" for our total missionary work. In 1925 this was enlarged to include the entire promotional work.

organization

1. Members/iip. 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. Promotional Council. For carrying out the plans of the Commission a Promotional Council has been constituted consisting of Ave representatives of the foreign board, five of the home boards, together with three State Superintendents, the Secretaries of the Commission, the Secretary of the National Council, the Secretary of the Laymen's Advisory Committee, and the Secretary of the Com- mittee on Missionary Education.

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 (which this year is united with the Promotional Council under the name of "Cooperative Council").

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 Promotional 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 Commission directly.

THE COMMISSION ON EVANGELISM AND DEVOTIONAL LIFE

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 six active and eighteeen corresponding members elected by the National Council and is charged by the National Council 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 seiectmg 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 Pastor's Training Class, which has for its object the leading of young people to study Christian truth and under the pastor's influence to accept Christ as the personal Saviour.

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

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

5. The Easter In-Gathering.

The A. B. C. F. M. is the mother of missionary societies in North America. At its organization in 1810 it was interdenominational, and for a number of years thereafter it maintained that character. As the churches of other de- nominations organized foreign mission boards of their own, the American Board became the distinctive foreign missionary agency of the Congregational churches. As organized today it is a union of the three Congregational Woman's Boards of Missions and the parent Board.

Tlie American Board maintains missions in East, West and South Africa, China, Japan, India, Ceylon, the Philippines, Mexico, Spain, Bulgaria and Turkey. It works through the church, the school, the hospital, the printing press, industrial and agricultural plants, social welfare centers, the home and the personalities of the foreign missionaries and their native associates.

Missionary work in any country is necessarily shaped to a considerable de- gree by national characteristics and political trends. The purpose of the Ameri- can Board and its missionaries is to build up in each land a work in accord with the genius and needs of the people of that country. The wave of national- ism which has swept all oriental countries since the World War has facilitated the assumption of administrative responsibility by the native churches. Civil wars and famine conditions in China, and to some extent in India, as well as the mental unrest which always attends revolutionary periods, have combined in laying almost unbearable burdens upon both missionaries and churches.

Among the outstanding characteristics of the American Board work, the following may be mentioned:

1. Promotion of self-support of churches.

2. The training of native leadership.

3. Readiness to pass the administration of work over to native hands as rapidly as men and women are trained to carry it.

1930]

National Societies 25

4. A tendency to withdraw from primary educational work, recognizing the provisions of primary schools as an obligation of the government of the land.

5. Cooperation in union work in church and educational institutions. The churches founded by the American Board in South India are now a part of the United Church of South India. The churches fostered by the Shaowu and Foochow Missions in China are a part of the Church of Christ in China. While the churches in North China have not as yet become a part of the Church of Christ in China, the administration of their work is in the hands of a Board of Promotion, and the missionaries cooperate through their membership in Chinese churches rather than as a Mission. The American Board churches in Bulgaria are at present in process of union with the Methodist Episcopal churches of that country.

6. Approval of the organization of individual Boards of Trustees for edu- cational institutions which have reached college grade and require for their maintenance sums of money beyond the ability of a mission board to provide. Throughout the Near and Far East there are today colleges and universities started by the American Board which now operate under independent Boards of Trustees and to a very large extent set the educational standards for the people.

An operating deficit of $29,402.90 was incurred for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1930, which added to the deficit of the previous year makes a total debt September 1 of $79,607.18. Since the books closed a gift of $1,000 has come in, reducing the total by that amount.

In spite of the decrease in gifts for the regular budget the total income and expenditures of the Board were the largest in its history, $2,151,766.08. This is due to a larger amount of specially designated gifts which must be expended in accordance with terms of the gift and are not available for the current budget.

The budget for this present year includes some January 1, 1931 appropriations for the work formerly carried on by the Christian Churches. This work is in Japan and now is an integral part of the work of our Japan Mission. The increased expenditure on the budget on this account was $21,000 which in the estimate of the Christian Church officials will be covered by the gifts that will oome to the Board from former Christian Churches during the course of this present fiscal year.

Statistical Summary

The American Board is responsible for a foreign parish of 77,000,000 people. There are 17 missions under 12 different flags. The stations connected with these missions number 94 and the outstations 1,655. The missionaries under life appointment are 649 and include 148 ordained men, 76 unordained men, 214 wives and 210 single women. There are 52 associates who are serving for shorter periods, making a grand total of 701 missionaries. The native force of workers is 5,281.

Religious services are carried on in 2,688 places. There are 695 organized churches with 105,442 communicants. In 1929, 6,641 members were added to the church rolls. The total Christian constituency numbers 288,458. There are 1,340 Sunday Schools and 79,627 pupils. The educational work has 27 theological and training schools with 1,634 pupils and 10 colleges with 4,914 students. Below these are 72 secondary or middle schools with 13,649 pupils and 1,236 primary and elementary schools with 71,024 pupils. The schools of all grades are 1,345 and the total under instruction is 91,221. The medical statistics show that the Board has 30 hospitals and 52 dispensaries with which are connected 47 physi- cians and 32 foreign nurses. The record shows that there were 29,408 hospital patients and 145,014 dispensary patients. The total treatments were 499,867 or about 1,400 treatments per day. The native contributions for church work were $279,187, and receipts for all purposes amount to $616,854.

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 is 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.

FORM OF BEQUEST

I give and bequeath the sum of dollars to "The American Mis- sionary Association," incorporated by act of the Legislature of the State of New York.

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

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 his 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.

Any minister now entering membership becomes eligible for an annuity in proportion to the amount to his credit at age sixty-five, or up to age sixty-eight if he so elects. Dues are based upon the annual salary. The member's annual share in the distributable income of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund is credited, after the first year of membership, on his annual dues.

Assets, December 31, 1930, $4,544,697; membership, including annuitants, 2,577; annuity payments, $226,750; Supplementary Fund, supplied through the appor- tionment, and individual gifts, supplementing the income of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund in payment of full annuities to those now annuitants, or about to become annuitants, $47,011. Honor Roll of churches sharing in the pastor's membership dues, 755.

BEQUESTS

Bequests if designated for the Endowment Fund will be held in trust, for investment and reinvestment, the income to be used in providing annuities for Congregational ministers.

FORM OF BEQUEST

I give and bequeath to The Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, a cor- poration organized April 23, 1914, under the laws of the State of New Jersey, the

sum of dollars, to become part of the Endowment Fund of

the said corporation.

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, 1930, stood at $4,968,164, in addition to which the accumulated profits from the sale of securities, held in a Profit Reserve Account, amounted to $265,312. Many of the securities of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund were bought under extremely favorable conditions about ten years ago, with the result that the market value of the securities of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund, January 2, 1931, was $522,706 above the book, or cost, value.

While the first objective of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund, namely $5,000,000, has been practically attained, the later objective set by the National Council in 1921 is $8,000,000. Legacies and memorial gifts will be added to the prin- cipal and the interest alone used.

FORM OF BEQUEST

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 make recommendations to a church only in response to direct official request. It is the servant of the churches, and is entirely responsible to them.

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

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

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

The expenses of the Board are borne chiefly by contributions from the churches of New England, through the treasuries of the State Conferences. Fees are charged, however, to ministers for the furnishing of opportunities for the occasional supplying of pulpits, and also for aid in securing pastoral 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.

BOSTON SEAMAN'S FRIEND SOCIETY, INC.

Office: 618 Congregational House, Boston Organized 1827. Incorporated 1829. Reorganized 1922.

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

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

Robert Cashman, Business Manager.

The Chicago Theological Seminary, established in 1855 to furnish training for Christian leadership according to the highest academic standcirds, 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 modern world.

In 1915 the institution removed to the neighborhood of the University of Chicago, with which it is affiliated 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 courses of study have been augmented and enriched.

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 forty professors, instructors and lecturers. The Case Memorial Library of 125,000 volumes is one of the greatest theological libraries in the country. All classes are open to both men and women.

The 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 special 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 Young Women's Christian Association or Young Men's Christian Associations at home or abroad, for leadership in religious education at home or abroad and for Christian social service in city or country communities. Throughout its history, though independent by charter, Oberlin has sustained the most friendly relationship with Congregational churches and work.

Equipment. — The Graduate School of Theology is to have a new "outer garment" in 1931. Plans for a theological quadrangle including recitation, chapel, administration, dormitory, library, social and recreation rooms have been drawn by Mr. Cass Gilbert, and these buildings will be completed in September. In addition the School of Theology has the use of the entire equip- ment of Oberlin College. The college library contains 320,000 bound volumes and an equal number of pamphlets. All the current social and religious magazines are on file. The gymnasium, chapel. Men's Building and Athletic Fields are open for use by the students in the School of Theology.

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 thoroughly restudied. 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 self-support comparatively easy.

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

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

The ten major branches included are as follows:

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

(2) Preaching, Evangelism and Pastoral Ministry.

(3) The History of Religion among the Nations.

(4) Christian Faith and Theology.

(5) Religious Education and Social Christianity.

(6) Ancient and Modern History.

(7) English Language and Literature.

(8) The Natural Sciences.

(9) Psychology, Ethics, Philosophy.

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

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

There is also included now a Junior College Course.
