OBERLIN COLLEGE,
OBERLIN, OHIO.
Department of Theology. — Instruction is given by tlie President, five Pro- fessors, and eminent special lecturers appointed from year to year. Students have commodious furnished rooms in tbe new and attractive building, Council Hall, which is devoted exclusively to the uses of this department. They have free access to all the classes, libraries, and cabinets of the other dep-irtments. Three months during the summer can be spent in home-missionary or other labor, with compensa- tion, without interference with studies. The demand for such labor is greater than the supply. During the last half of the course, the students have frequent oppor- tunities to supply the neighboring churches. Students who need pecuniary assistance receive the usual aid from the American Education Society and such appropriations from special funds under the control of the Seminary as will enable them, with reasonable prudence and economy, to pursue their course without interruption or embarrassment.
Department of Philosophy and the Arts. — Twelve Professors give instruc- tion in this department. The Classical Course embraces the studies of our best colleges, so arranged that after the Freshman year the student may, by elective studies, give a classical or scientific character to his course, receiving the degree of A. B. at its close. For entrance, three years of Latin, two of Greek, and one term of Geometry are necessary. The Literary Course is like the above, with the excepton that no Greek and less Latin are lequired.
Department of Prkparatory Instruction. — Comprises a Classical School, which prepares students for the best colleges, and an English school, which prepares students for the Literary Course in the Department of Philosophy and the Arts; and offers the advantages of a fir.-t-class academy to those who can spend but a little time at school Instruction is given by the Principal of this department, seven tutors, and about twenty-five special teachers.
Expenses in all departments for tuition, incidentals and board are very low. Students who do not wish to take a full course can select such studies in any depart ment as they are prepared to pursue to advantage. Both sexes admitted. Location healthful, and religious influences the best. No drinking saloons in town. Circulars with full information sent free by J. B. T. MARSH, Secretary.

OBERLIIT, OIHIO-
This institution has been established nearly twenty years. The first intention was to furnish elementary instruction, mainly for the purpose of affording what was at that time difficult to obtain in this country, — uamely, a suitable preparation for advanced standing in the European conservatories. To this end care lias been taken to employ none but thoroughly qualified teachers. Graduates from this school have continued their studies in the best foreign conservatories, and in every case have received high commendation for the thorough and satisfactory nature of their prep- aration.
The school has had a vigorous growth, and now stands among the few institu- tions of our land which furnish superior advantages for doing work of an advanced grade. It is manned by a board of eleven professional and four assistant teachers, and it aims especially at the production of Thorough Musicians, instead of mere piano players, organists, or solo singers. It is a cardinal point in our musical creed that a well-balanced cultivation of all the musical and intellectual faculties must be made the groundwork on which special studies and virtuoso attainments can be superimposed, if the musical profession is ever to be freed from the reproach of one- sided devolopment and ignorance in matters outside of a certain specialty.
Expenses are much lower than at other schools of the same grade. The entire outlay for a year's instruction (giving one's whole time to the study of music) need not exceed $350. Many students get along comfortably with a much smaller expen- diture.

The Coneregationalist.
WITH Rev A. H. C^app, D. D., as our editor iu New York, and Rev. Simeon Gilbert, D. D., devoting his whole time to the Congregationalist at Chicago, we have special facilities for covering the broad field of our Con- gregational churches throughout the land; and we find that the matter furnished by our editor for the Interior is of no less interest at the East than at the West. We do not announce so crowded a prospectus as last year, finding that we need a large amount of room from week to week for new and fresh matters that are always demanding attention ; but we print below a limited schedule of articles for 1884, giving the reader some idea of what may be expected iu our columns.

THE ADVANCE,
OIF CHICAGO,
Was never so prosperous as at present. The proprietors are spending money as never before, to make the paper worthy of the denomination and the cause which it represents. They have reduced the price from $3.00 to $2.50. The list of their contributors embraces representatives of the leading writers of our day, both in prose and poetry. The Advance gives more space to the news of our churches than any other paper in the denomination. It has rep- resentatives at all the great centres, — Boston, New York, Cleveland, St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Omaha, etc. In addition to the special papers by such men as Dr. Goodwin, of Chicago, Prof. Wright, of Oberlin, O., Dr. Goodell, of St. Louis, and many others, the Advance has just purchased the exclusive right to publish in newspaper form the next course of lectures by Rev. Joseph Cook, who will also contribute to the Advance. No paper except the Independent has ever had this exclusive right before, and now this enterprise and expenditure on the part of the Advance compel every paper in the United States, secular or religious, to get permission from it to publish any part of these lectures.

Communica- tions which will aid in this service are earnestly solicited. Address, LAVALETTE PERRIN, Annalist.
TREASURY OF NATIONAL COUNCIL.
The National Council, at its meeting in Concord, Voted, That the churches be invited to contribute, to sup- port the work of this Council, two cents for each church member for each of the years 1884, 1885, and 1886.
That the treasurers of the State Congregational bodies be urgtd to the earliest possible collection and transmission of
■_■ — •■ - their respective collections.
That the Treasurer, assisted by the chairman of the Pro- visional Committee and Committee on Finance, be, and is hereby, authorized to solicit of individuals and churches the sum of $3,000 to be held as areserve to meet exigencies.
The special attention of ministers and churches is called to these resolutions, which were voted with great unanimity, and all who desire to aid in carrying out the wish of the Council in these matters, may address LAVALETTE PERRIN, Treasurer,

THE RELIGIOUS HERA .
Office, HcurtforcL, Conn.,
Entered its Forty-second year Jan. 1, 1884, aiming as heretofore to be a safe and valuable aid in the family to an intelligent and practical knowledge of the world, and how to live in it. It will urge the claims of religion upon all, not forgetting the little children ; and will discuss the practical questions of the day with candor ; advocating earnestly the cause of temperance; speaking freely on all subjects, — literary, educational, civil, social, or financial, — and aiming to speak wisely. Its reviews and articles, correspondence and comments, notes and summaries of news, will be carefully edited. It will seek to be useful to all whom it can reach, and will deem it ample reward for much hard labor if it can in any way serve the cause of Christ; having a special love for the old historic churches of Connecticut, commonly called Congregational, but rejoicing to be a co-worker with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ and seek to bless and save men. We ask the co-operation and patronage of all who are in sympathy with our aim, and hope for an increase of subscribers such as will enable us to work more efficiently in the field we are striving to cultivate.

The Sunday School Times says:
" The demand for good editions of the Bible " with fitting helps 10 its study is on the in- " crease among Sunday-school teachers ; and " the effort to meet this demand promotes a "healthful competition among publishing " houses. It has not been easy at all times to " decide in favor of any one edition above all " others ; hence such a request as the folio w- " ing — frem a correspondent in Tennessee — " could not have been answered by us with " positiveness until a few months ago.

" We have no hesitation in saying that, ■all things considered, the OXFORD TEACH- " EBS' BIBLES are better for the Sunday-school " teacher than any other with which we are familiar."
■ The Sunday School Times, of Sept. 25, 1880. in reviewing and com- paring- the various editions of Teachers' Bibles now offered, further says : —
" All things considered, we prefer the Oxford Teachers' Bibles to the London, and it is between these two that the choice is commonly to be made. The range of editions and prices of the Oxford is as large as any. The paper and printing are better than the London. The binding leaves nothing to be desired. The main helps of concordance and index, taken together, are an improvement on the London. The various other helps which are likely to be of most practical service to the average teacher are more compact, and better arranged for their purpose, than the corresponding material in the London."

WORDS FROM THE COMPILER.
The tables of Dakota, Minnesota, and Tennessee were not received until Dec. 21, 1883. From that date the compiler and printers have pushed their work as diligently as possible. Two months are needed, after the last tables are in hand, for the com- pletion of the summaries and lists, and the printing of them, with reasonable care ; and if tbe Year-Book is to be ready, as it should be, on Jan. 1, the compiler must have his material by Nov. 1. If the churches will see to it that he has returns at that date, he can undertake to meet the general desire for the issue of the Year-Book with the new year, but not otherwise. This is certainly possible. The Kansas Associa- tion was the last of all to meet, on Nov. 14, but the Kansas tables were received very promptly; and if New York and Minnesota hud been as prompt, after their meetings, their statistics might have been forwarded before November. The statis- tics can certainly be gathered, tabulated, and put in type, before the meetings, which would gain somewhat by having them in this form ; and it seems not uureasonahle to ask that the States whose meetings are held in the later autumn should so far con- sult the desires and convenience of the body of churches as to make this change in the time of collecting and tabulating their returns.
In this connection, attention is due to the following resolutiou, adopted by the National Council at Concord (Minutes, page 13): —
"Resolved, That all States, the date of whose statistics is now earlier than June 1, be recommended to bring them up to that date, and that the date in no State Le placed later than Oct. 1."
It would promote a very desirable uniformity in the date of all the statistics if the States meeting in June, or earlier, would conform to the first part of this recommen- dation; and if the other States instead of October would fix July as the beginning of their statistical year. This change would give the additional time, but scarcely more than is needed for collecting and printing their statistics before November; and the Year-Book, issued Jan. 1, of each year, would then give the statistics of all the churches to a nearly uniform date, only six mouths previous
If space permitted, the compiler would here repeat and emphasize every word used by his predecessor last year in reference to the construction and improvement of the State Minutes. He begs to call tbe especial attention of statistical secretaries and all concerned to the points noted on pp. 5 and 6 of the Year-Book, 1883, and to say that his own experience shows every one is well taken. Will not the secretaries give them due weight in the construction of these Minutes?
A great improvement has been adopted by some of the larger States to their own satisfaction, and to a great saving of labor and chance of error for the Year-Book. This is the alphabetical arrangement of all the churches in one statistical table. The local associations or conferences of churches are properly given in separate lists. If all the States would adopt this arrangement, its greater convenience must quickly commend it.
The National Council in 1880 (Minutes, page 17) adopted significant resolutions on the subject of ministerial standing, which seem, in some States, scarcely to have received due atteution in making up the roll of ministers. The secretary of the Council must follow and rest upon the authority of the various State secretaries.
6 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR-BOOK. [1884.
Hew far they should use their discretion, and how far they do so in practice, in record- ing or continuing names on the roll, of ministers not serving churches or reported by locrtl associations, is a question frequently raised. It is desirable not to omit worthy ministers who continue in good standing ; it is most important not to permit the intrusion of the unwortby ; and injustice is liable to be done without more uniformity of practice, if one rule obtains in one State and a different one in the next. If the spirit of the resolutions mentioned would aid in reaching better results, it is impor- tant that due weight be given them.
Some errors will be found in the summaries, under the States, in the tables. These have been corrected as far as possible in the General Summary Tables, pages 206- 218, and special attention is requested to the fact that the authoritative figures are in these summary tables, and that the earlier figures, when they differ, should be cor- rected accordingly.
Three churches were accidentally omitted in making up the Nebraska table, — "West Cedar Valley, Wheeler, and Willow Valley. The Rev. Henry Griffiths, of Neligh, also ministers to the first two, and the latter is vacant. They are properly counted in the summaries.
In Pennsylvania, twenty-five churches again fail to make any report, and it is fair to presume that the apparent loss of 1,074 members in that State is chiefly due to this fact. If the summaries be corrected in accordance with this assumption, the total membership of the churches would be 397,320, and the gain of members for the year, 9,701.
The compiler cannot deny himself the satisfaction of recognizing here and return- ing his hearty thanks for the kind and earnest spirit of co-operation with which the compilation of this Year-Book has been favored on every hand. If he were to name the statistical secretaries who have done their best to aid him, he would simply have to repeat the catalogue; and there are none of the number to whom he looks with more confidence for the be*t results in their power in remedying vexatious delays than to the secretaries of Dakota, Minnesota, and New York. The latter kindly furnished his tables in beautiful " copy" quite ready for the printer ; and the Minne- sota secretary sent half of his tables also in manuscript. If the suggestions made above as to the date and issue of the statistics of the various States prove as feasible as they seem, and are responded to in the same hearty spirit of co-operation, the com- piler believes there is no good reason why the next Year- Book may not be issued Jan. 1, 1885. He will do bis best to meet the wishes of the churches and of the public in this regard.
It is not invidious, and is a matter of simple justice, to add that this Year-Book, like its predecessors, owes much to the care and diligence of Miss Mary E. Stone, the assistant librarian of the Congregational Library; and to the skill and patience of .the compositors and proof-readers of Messrs. Alfred Mudge & Son thanks are also due.
Will not every minister who finds his name in this Year-Book, but not his ordination date, send at once a postal to the secretary giving the place, year, month, and day of his ordination, that the next Year-Book may give every date?
HENRY A. HAZEN, Secretary. Room 14, Congregational House, Boston.
1884.] treasurer's statement.
TREASURER'S STATEMENT.
At the meeting of the National Council in Concord the following resolutions were passed by unanimous vote, after accepting the report of the Finance Committee : —
Resolved, 1. — That the Treasurer, assisted by the Chairmen of the Provisional Com- mittee and Committee on Finance, be, and is hereby authorized to solicit of individ- uals and churches the sum of >3,0U0, to be held as a reserve to meet exigencies.
Resolved, 2. — That the treasurers of the State Congregational bodies be urged to the earliest possible collection and transmission of their respective collections.
Resolved, 3. — That the churches be invited to contribute, to support the work of this Council, two cents for each church member for each of the yeais 1884, 1885, and 188b'.
Resolved, 4.— That the action of the Treasurer in giving'early information to the churches of the state of the treasury is approved, and that he be authorized to act at his discretion in securing relief in time to come.
Resolved, 5.— That the report of the Treasurer, to be published in the next Year- Book, iuclude all payments made by the churches before Jan. 1, 1884.
The passage of these resolutions with great apparent zest, after the statements of the Finance Committee, iufluenced the Treasurer to continue in service, hoping that in due time the special burdens and perplexities of the office would be removed by the prompt action of the churches. Assurances of this were freely given at the time; hut it remains to be seen what the churches will do in the matter. On the 1st of January, 1884, the treasury was overdrawn to the amount of §2,096.23, with $2,035.11 still due from churches on past assessments. "Within three months the bills for Minutes and Year-Book of 1884 must be met. In 1881 the cost of these, with in- cidental expenses, was $6,197.71. As a larger edition is published this year, the ex- pense will be proportionately greater, and cannot be reasonably expected to fall much short of $7, 150.00. It will be seen, therefore, that prompt payment of the assessments, by the churches, is demanded by every consideration of equity and economy. If the action of the last Council is practically indorsed by the ministers and churches, aud by individuals of ample means, we may hope to see the treasury in a condition more ci editable to its integrity when the Council meets at Chicago.
In the following list of constituent bodies and their assessments, where there are no figures in the first column, all dues are paid to Jan. 1,1884. The figuies for 1884 are based upon the members reported in the Year-Book of 1883. It will be seen by a comparison of this statement with the Treasurer's report in the Minutes that several States have paid in full since the meeting at Concord. If all had done this, we should have commenced the new year with a small balance in the treasury, not counting what has been paid on Year-Book for 1884. As the Pennsylvania statistics have been in a somewhat chaotic state, and some of the churches have paid through other State organizations, the Year-Book of 1883 is made the basis of a new account with that State. The Treasurer's accounts are governed by State limits, and all who remit to him should note this fact.

Rev. William M. Taylor, d. d New York, N. Y.
Rev. Lyman Abbott, d. d Cornwall-ou-the-Hudson, N. Y.
Rev. Augustus F. Beard, d. d Syracuse, N. Y.
Rev. William W. Patton, d. d Washington, D. C.
Rev. James H Fairchild, d. d Oberlin, O.
Rev. Israel W. Andrews, d. d Marietta, O.

Rev. Alden B. Bobbins, d. d Muscatine, la.
Rev. Constans L. Goodell, d. d St. Louis, Mo.
Rev. Richard Cordleyt, d. d Emporia, Kan.
Rev. George Mooar, d. d Oakland, Cal.
In making the selection, different sections of the country have been drawn upon somewhat in proportion to the membership of the Congregatioimlist churches in each. The list embraces men who are understood to represent different shades of opinion while holding fast to the essential truths of the gospel. With a large propor- tion of pastors are joined representatives of theological seminaries and colleges, of the religious press, and of the missionary work of our churches. Letters respond- ing to these appointments indicate that those designated will enter on the work with interest and hopefulness, and that they will be able to co-operate in mutual respect and congeniality of spirit and aim for the important object contemplated. The re- cent National Council at Concord reiterated the hope and desire for a report from this important committee. It is publicly announced that, at a recent session, results were reached which give reason to hope for its report "to the churches " at no distant day.

Note. — The limitations of the tables do not in all cases admit exactness. In the table of theological education, students who did not graduate are counted, and with- out distinction from graduates; but a name occurring in more than one seminary list is not repeated; and in the college lists a few students who were not alumni are counted with the graduates.
The editor renews his earnest request to friends and to the secretaries of the State bodies for prompt information of the death of Congregational ministers, and for full and exact information on the model of the sketches above given. Obituary and eulogy beyond, it is impossible to use here.

Our Present Field includes twenty-one missions, the statistics of which are ex- ceedingly instructive, illustrating both the breadth and variety of our work. This work embraces direct evangelistic effort through missionaries and native helpers; an immense educational trust extending from the primary school to the college and theological seminary; Sunday-school instruction; the preparation, publication, and circulation in different languages of books, tracts, and newspapers; assistance in the erection of buildings for churches and schools; grants in aid to feeble churches and to native home-missionary societies; the humane service of missionary physicians, sometimes in the care of large dispensaries and hospitals; also charitable ministry, oontiii'ious and varied, to the sick, the poor, and the oppressed. All these depart- ments upon the foreign field are economically managed under one efficient and expe- rienced administration.
Our Present Force, now occupying eight hundred and twenty-two stations and out-stations, numbers one hundred and forty-six ordained missionaries, of whom five are physicians, nine physicians not ordained, two of them women, and two hun- dred and fifty other assistant missionaries, making a total from this country of four hundred and five. Our native force is more than four and a half times this number, a total of 1,824, of whom five hundred and twelve are native pastors and preachers. Our Native Churches, two hundred and seventy-five in number, not including those of the Hawaiian Islands, enroll 19,354 members, of which number 1,715 were received last year, on confession of their faith in Christ. These 19,400 members of native churches, giving round numbers, are distributed as follows: Papal lands, 400; Africa, 000; China, 1,000; Japan, 1,100; Micronesia, 3,500; India and Ceylon, 5,400; Turkey, 7,400. The Hawaiian Islands would add several thousand more.
Our Training and Theological Schools, including station classes, fifty-seven in number, are giving instruction to 2,060 young men, many of them fitting for the Christian ministry.
Our Girls' Schools, of the higher order, thirty-nine in number, enroll 1,549 pu- pils, many of them fitting to be teachers, many of them to be Christian wives and mothers, constituting the educational power of Christian homes for the next gener- ation.
Our Common Schools, eight hundred and thirty-five in number, enroll over 31,000 pupils, making a total of 35,700 under Christian instruction. These 35,700 persons under instruction, giving round numbers, are distributed as follows: China, 400; Japan, 300; Papal lands, 300; Africa, 1,000; Micronesia, 2 000; Turkey, 14,600; India and Ceylon, 16,500. Tlie.se figures do not include the additional thousands of the Hawaiian Islands.
Regular Donations from the Churches, which during the past four years, in- cluding what was received through the woman's boards, have averaged about $358,- 000, need to be doubled in order to meet the demands of our growing work. With the exception of new missions, to which what remains of the Otis bequest has been set apart and appropriated by the Board, the entire work, including all evangelistic and educational advance, must be sustained by the current annual receipts. The need of greatly enlarged donations from churches and individuals must be apparent to every one. May we hope for a contribution, as generous as possible, not only from every church, but also from every individual who desires to be personally identified with this broad Christian work? Our main instrumental reliance for awakening aud deepening missionary interest is upon pastors, sustained by their churches.

AMERICAN COLLEGE AND EDUCATION SOCIETY.
Formed by the union in 1874, of the " American Education Society " and the " Society for the promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education." Tlie Amer- ican Education Society was organized and received its charter from Massachusetts in the year 1816. The College Society, as the other organization was popularly called, was formed in 1843. It was for years a voluntary association without a charter. In 1872 it received a charter also from the State of Massachusetts. These two organiza- tions were brought together under a new charter from the same State in May, 1874.
Officers, 1883-84. (Office, No. 10 Congregational House, Boston, Mass.)
President. — Hon. Nathaniel Shipman, of Hartford, Conn.
Vice-President. — Rev. Isaac P. Langworthy, d. d., Boston, and Samuel Holmes,
New York city. Secretary. —Rev. Increase N. Tarbox, d. d., Boston. Treasurer. — James M. Gordon, Boston. Assistant Treasurer. — Rev. A. H. Clapp, d. d., Bible House, New York.
Income for the year ending April 30, 1883, $176,182.03. Of the whole income, $135,- 294.11 was contributed for colleges ami paid to them. The sum of $18,650.00 was paid to students fitting for the ministry. The balance was for current expenses.
In both departments the Society has had a large agency in the formation of society throughout the great West. The men who were pioneers in the work of preaching the gospel in the new settlements, and in the founding of churches and schools, were largelv educated by this Society. The colleges which are now among the foremost in these Western fields were largely built up by the same agency.
The whole number of young men assisted by the Society in their studies for the ministry since 1816 is 7,035. The institutions at the West which have been assisted by the Society since 1843 are the following, viz. : Western Reserve, Illinois, Wabash, and Marietta Colleges, and Lane Theological Seminary. These five are the institu- tions which the Society took under its care at the beginning, in 1843. Those which have since been received on the list are Knox, Beloit, Thayer, Wittenberg, Oberlin, and Berea Colleges, the College of California, Pacific University, Olivet, Ripon, Iowa, Carieton, Doane, Drury, Washburn, and Colorado Colleges, and Pacific Theo- logical Semiuary.
During the past year Olivet and Washburn Colleges, and Pacific Theological Sem- inary have passed off the list, and Whitmau College, Walla Walla, Washington Territory, has been taken on.
The number of young men now receiving assistance from the Society is not far from 270.
At the time when the Education Society began its work of helping young men into the Christian ministry, in the year 1816, the condition of things in this country was very peculiar. The great movement of emigration toward the West was setting in with strength. The American Board had been organized a few years before, and the cause of Poreigu Missions was taking strong hold upon the churches. But " the taborers were few." Ever since the close of the Revolutionary war, the churches had been in a confused and preoccupied state, and the number of men coming for- ward for the work of the ministry was alarmingly small. It was in such a state of things that this Society began its enterprise. Through the aid thus afforded, and through the impulses thus imparted, a ho-<t of living preachers was raised up to go with the moving colonies out into the fields of the West, or to go far lience to the Gentiles, to proclaim the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. A work of ines- timable importance for the Christianizing and civilizing of our own land was accom- plished by this instrumentality. The ministers raised up by this Society became to a large extent the pioneers in the way of founding churches, schools, colleges, throughout all those Western fields, while in foreign lauds half the missionaries laboring under the care of the American Board had been brought forward in the same way.

The object of this Association is " to establish and perpetuate the religious history and literature of New England, and for the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of the same, and for the use of charitable, societies ; also to do such acts as may promote the interest of Congregational churches," etc.
Its library is intended lor reference, having as its specialties everything published by the Pilgrims and Puritans, and their predecessors, contemporaries, and successors, which states or illustrates the principles and polity of Congregationalism, its history, its doctrine, its influence, and indeed the same things in rega'd to every denomina- tion ; thus everything ecclesiastical, — theology, controversy, results of councils, sermons, church manuals, minutes of religious bodies, every one ; Year-Books, and all such like ; also all local histories, county, State, and United States histories, genealogies, centennial, ordination, funeral, and all historical sermons, all commen- taries on the Scriptures, every biography, national, State, and municipal statistics, printed reports of all kinds, catalogues, obituary records, and inaugurals of all our literary institutions, together with any manuscripts, autographs, or mementos which relate to the objects above named.
On the 20th of May, 1883, the library had 29,995 books — 6,258 of which were dupli- cates— and over 130,000 pamphlets, including duplicates, secured almost exclusively by gifts, as there has never been a dollar appropriated from the building fund with which to buy a book, nor can there be until the present onerous debt is greatly re- duced. Duplicates furnish a basis for exchanges, for which the Librarian has large facilities, and of which he avails himself to the uttermost ; and in this way he can assure all kindly disposed persons that they can send him no printed pamphlet or book that he cannot make useful here.
The Library has now more of the early publications of our country and of the mother country which illustrate the principles and relate the deeds of our first set- tlers than any other public library in the United States ; but it is still lacking very much of this sort that is scattered here and there, essentially useless where it is, but would be invaluable here ; also much more of the later and contemporaneous issues of the same general character found in every parish and town more or less. Now, let these be collected and sent here by some good friend in each church, as a few have already done.
The Congregational House is a four-story granite structure, one hundred and three feet on Beacon Street, and ninety-three feet on Somerset Street, having stores on lower floors on Beacon Street, and rooms above for the A B. O. F. M., the Woman's Board, the American College and Education Society, American Missionary Associa- tion, City Missionary Society, Woman's Home Missionary Society, Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, American Peace Society, the Congregationalist, etc. The fire-proof library room is in a connected building ; accessible, light, pleasant, sate, and has capacity for more than 100,000 volumes.
The great want of this Association is the hearty sympathy and co-operation of every Congregationalist, expressed iu "one fair contribution" Irorn each of the more than 2,307 Congregational churches that have not made it ; also gifts of twenties, fifties, hundreds, and thousands from the more highly favored ; testament- ary gifts, if not earlier bestowed Then this great property would be disencumbered, and all our strictly benevolent societies would be forever free from rent, thus insur- ing a good dividend to the cause of Christ upon every benefaction.

CONGREGATIONAL YEAR-BOOK.
[1884.
The Union lias outstanding obligations amounting to §56,000, with a balance of $23,253 toward meeting them.
The receipts of the Union for the six months of the current year have been $37,- 070.79, which is about half as much less thaD the receipts of the same months last year as the legacies of the first half of last year were greater than the legacies of the first half of this year. This is the same as saying that the regular contributions of the churches are increasing in number and amount. They are not increasing, how- ever, as the demand is. The new openings in the Southwest and Northwest, espe- cially, are of necessity very expensive. Work cannot be done at all without unusual outlays. The Board is confiding most implicitly in the generous following of the churches where God is so evidently leading. They cannot, however, take risks beyond a reasonable sum in hand. Delayed payments are sources of severe annoy- ance, local disaffection, and loss. The Union has never had an absolutely empty treasury. We are strong in the faith last year's generous giving awakened, that the churches mean we never shall have an empty treasury. Our only question, at the date of this writing is, " Must we say no to as urgent and deserving calls as ever have been made on our aid, because of the too wide discrepancy between our calls and our cash?"
The Year-Book is sent to every church and pastor in the land. It will thus lay this matter on the hearts of those who represent our faith at the front and our main supporters at the rear.
The only new departure taken during the year is in the publication of The Church Building Quarterly. It seems to meet a want. We trust the friends of the work will not forget its wants in the form of generous rolls of paying parish subscribers. Thirty cents a year is a small sum to an individual, but ten thousand new subscribers would double the power of the pamphlet.

The Home Missionary, a monthly magazine, published by the Society, at sixty cents a year, including postage, gives a running account of the progress of the work in all parts of the country, largely from the pens of the superintendents and mission- aries personally engaged in it. The monthly issue is 25,000 copies. An Annual Report sums up the results of the year.
For nearly fifty-eight years the Society has been organizing churches in the South and West, and aiding in the support of their ministers till those churches are able to assume the whole expense. Its missionaries have from the first organized Sunday schools, provided proper teachers for them, and by watchful oversight have secured their permanence and highest usefulness.
In connection with the labor of its missionaries, 4,360 churches have been organ- ized, and 2,199 have come to self-support. It has collected and disbursed in cash nearly $9,742,400, and in clothing, hooks, and other supplies, largely the offerings of Christian women, more than $1,414,000, in all, $11, 156,400. The additions to the churches have been 310,251. Schools, academies, and colleges in nearly every Western State are among the direct fruits of the work.
The number of missionaries employed in its fifty-seventh year (1882-83) was 1,150, 827 of them in States and Territories west of New York. They preached regularly in 2,659 stations, and at frequent intervals in many hundre Is more. The number of Sunday-school a'id Bible-class scholars was over 106,000. The additions to the churches were 6,527 ; 3,558 of them on profession of faith. One hundred and one churches were organized, and forty-three came to self-support. Last year's receipts were, in cash, $370,981.56 ; in supplies, $60,000 ; in all, $430,981.56.
At least $100,000 in cash are needed this year properly to sustain the missionaries now in the field. To take up only such new work as the providence and Spirit of God manifestly call upon the Society to assume at once, $100,000 more are impera- tively required, and at the annual meeting of the Society at Saratoga, in June last, it was voted to appeal to the churches for this amount, as an Emergency Fund for new work. At nearly every meeting of the Executive Committee, chosen men are sent to new fields at the front, where they are most needed, but where their support involves heavy outlay by the Society. For securing the means essential to the carrying on of this great work the Society depends, under God, on the zealous co- operation of the pastors and members of the Congregational churches of the land.

AIM AND WORK.
r To preach the gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the Freedmen for their duties as citizens and Christians in America and as mission- aries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted Chinese in America, and to co-operate with the government in its humane and Christian policy toward the Indians.

It aims:
First, — To provide and furnish to pastors, teachers, and Sunday schools, aids to the study of the Bible, and all needful Sunday-school literature.
Second, — To systematize and give direction to Sunday-school work, and to direct the charities of the churches toward establishing Sunday schools, and providing weak ones with such equipments as shall enable them to be efficient.
Third, — To provide and prepare general religious reading, and to distribute books and tracts among the destitute.
Fourth, — To set forth the history and explain the principles and polity of Congre- gational churches.
This Society maintains'two distinct departments: —
1. The Business Department: Publishing a graded system of lesson helps, for teachers, senior, intermediate, and primary scholars in the SuSday school; also, two periodicals weekly, books and other literature for the Sunday schools. It also issues books and tracts on general religious subjects, and on matters of special interest to Congregationalists.
This business is self-sustaining but unable to meet its great opportunities for useful- ness for want of capital. An effort is being made to raise $75,000 as a working capi- tal, to be paid in shares of $100 each, in three equal, annual instalments. A consid- erable part of it has already been subscribed.
2. The Missionary Department: Sustaining Sunday-school missionaries in Western States and Territories: furnishing Sunday-school helps, libraries, and other literature to new and needy Sunday schools, either gratuitously or at reduced cost. All money contributed to this department is used for missionary purposes.
The following State Superintendents are engaged in planting Sunday schools and increasing the efficiency of existing Sunday schools: Nebraska, Jlev. J. D. Stewart, Hastings; Missouri, Rev. J. L. Maile, Springfield; Colorado, Rev. H. P. Case, Col- orado Springs; Kansas, Prof. J. E. Piatt, Manhattan.
During the year ending May 1, 1883, the society aided seven hundred and thirty- two Sunday schools, of which about two hundred and fifty were new. $The amounts received by the Sunday-school societies of different denominations for missionary work were as follows: —
For the year ending May 1, 1882, Receipts of the Baptist Publication

New missionaries are soon to be appointed, in answer to urgent appeals from State Associations and Conferences in the newer States.
The amount needed for the coming year for missionary work is $50,000. The op- portunity to establish Sunday schools as the beginnings of churches in the new lauds, and to promote Sunday-school work, is great; the need at this crisis is urgent. The future prosperity of all the benevolent work of our denomination requires it. The good results from it are assured.
Contributions to the Missionary Department should be sent to E. Lawrence Bar- nard, treasurer, Congregational House, Boston, or to M. C. Hazard, 243 State Street, Chicago.
Correspondence concerning editorial or missionary work should be directed to Rev. A. E. Dunning, secretary.
Business correspondence should be addressed to Geo. P. Smith, agent.

THE NEW WEST EDUCATION COMMISSION.
Incorporated Nov. 3, 1879. Principal office at Chicago, Illinois.
OFFICERS.
President, Rev. P. A. Noble, d. d. , 534 West Washington Street. General Secretary, Rev. Charles R. Bliss, 112 West Washington Street. Treasurer, Wm. H. Hubbard, 387 LaSalle Avenue.
District Secretary, Rev. A. E. Winship, 6 Congregational House, Boston. Assistant, Miss Sybil Carter, 6 Congregational House, Boston. Agent in the Field, Isaac Hdse, Jr., Salt Lake City, Utah.
Object. — The promotion of Christian civilization in Utah and adjacent States and Territories by the education of the children and youth under Christian teachers, and by the use of such other kindred agencies as may at any time be deemed wise. The time is propitious. Old customs are giving way and the younger Mormons and Mexicans are uneasy under the reproach that attaches to their people. It is seed- time, and the best seed is the Christian school.
The current year is without a parallel in prosperity. New fields open. Teachers are wise and effective. The world offers no more needy or promising field, and American Congregationalists must be prompt and generous in doing the work the Lord lays upon them. The work is being prosecuted with the greatest economy and fervency.
Progress. — 1880-1. 10 schools, 21 teachers, 700 pupils.
1881-2. 16 " 28 " 1,200 "
1882-3. 19 " 34 " 1,600 "
1883-4. 30 " 54 " 2,500 "
This advance is remarkable, but its best work cannot be expressed in figures. It has overcome prejudice, aroused emulation, aided the liberal political movement, organized temperance efforts, disseminated Christian literature, and laid the founda- tions of Christian churches.
Endorsements. — "Not all the legislation of Congress hitherto, nor the millions of money spent in the 'Mormon War,' nor any other agency now operative, can com- pare in value for the elevation of Utah, with the work of these Christian schools." — Eli H. Murray, Governor of Utah.
" I would rather throw a child of mine into hell than have him go to one of these outside schools." — Brigham Young, Jr.
56 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR-BOOK. [)884.
ENDORSED BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL AT CONCORD, N. H., OCT. 13, 1883. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTION.
Whereas, The new "West, dominated by Mormons and Jesuitical hierarchies, dif- fering materially from the old West, having society already oiganized and opposed to evangelical Christianity, higher civilization, and the American government, makes the problem of bringing into full allegiance to Christ and our republican institutions most difficult ; and
Whereas, Mormonism, through tyrannical, priestly influence, made strong by the fallacious claim that all its commands are by Diviue revelation, holds a large body of followers iu six States and Territories in such subjection as to make their antagonism threaten disaster to the nation, effectually preventing the introduction of Christianity into the new West by ordinary methods ; and
Whereas, The Christian free school, as organized and superintended by the New West Education Commission, has proved an effective means of undermining Mor- mon influence by enlightening the youth, interesting adults, and inspiring commu- nities with true Christian zeal, and thus best preparing the way lor the establishment of Christian churches ; and
Whereas, The work now presents peculiarly favorable opportunities for enlarge- ment and greatly increased usefulness, and it is made more urgent by the increased efforts of Mormon leaders to preoccupy the field by schools which are hostile to Christianity and righteous government ; and
Whereas, The Commission has continued the prosecution of its work in accord- ance with advioe asked of and given by the National Council ; therefore,
Resolved, That this National Council, in its fifth triennial session, earnestly renews its commendation of the work of the New West Education Commission, and urgently presses upon our churches the obligation to give to it that powerful and lnarty sympathy and that prompt and generous financial support which its past record, its present activity and future prospects entitle it to receive.

The Board also supports twenty-five boarding and high schools, besides the female de- partment of Armenia College, and five homes for higher education, containing in all over one thousand pupils; and one hundred and seventy village and day schools, with between two and three thousand pupils.
Home Department of Work. — In this country there are connected with the Board twenty-two branch societies, each comprising not less than twenty auxiliaries and two conference associations, including a Jess number of societies. In these larger organizations there are between nine hundred and one thousand auxiliaries and more than six hundred mission circles among children and young people, mak- ing a total of over fifteen hundred organizations.

Our Auxiliaries. — We have over twenty-eight so-called auxiliaries of older ladies, and over twenty of young people. Some of them can hardly he called " auxiliaries" in the strict sense of the term, because their funds are divided among other benevolent objects. But we have nearly fifty organizations which are inter- ested in this work, — fifty tributaries, very small though many of them are, to the treasury of our Board. Our work is especially dependent upon the faithful collection of the mites, — " the fragments that nothing be lost."
