MINUTES OF THE
137th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MASSACHUSETTS
CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
MONDAY AFTERNOON
The Conference was called to order exactly at 2.00 o'clock
by the Moderator, Rev. David N. Beach of Springfield.
The Service of Worship was conducted by the Chaplain
of the Conference, Rev. Raymond Calkins of Cambridge.
His subject was "The Credentials of Christ." The authen-
ticity of the church is its serviceableness, and the proof of
Christianity is in biography rather than in theology.
The Moderator announced the appointment of committees
as follows:
Business Committee — Rev. Mj^on W. Fowell, Chairman, Mrs. Chester
L. Grover, Rev. S. Lawrence Johnson, Rev. C. Donald Plomer, Rev. Ralph
H. Rogers, Rev. Samuel R. Swift.
Credential Committee: Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey, Rev. J. William L.
Graham, Rev. Stephen C. Lang.
Deacons Avpointed to Serve at the Cmnmunion Service Tuesday Evening:
E. G. Watkins, C. C. Rathbun, E. W. Tandy, W. M. Tenney, A. H.
Nourse, J. A. Pearson, Frank Derby, W. P. Hawley, Benjamin F. Holden,
Charles Davis.
The Chairman of the Nominating Committee announced
a vacancy in the office of Recording Secretary and nomi-
nated Rev. William L. Boicourt of Shirley, who was elected.
Rev. Harry W. Kimball presented a resolution concerning
the establishment of a Department of Religious Education,
which was referred to the Business Committee.
The "Advance Reports" of the Conference committees,
which had been sent by mail to pastors and delegates, were
submitted for discussion as follows:
The report of the Committee on Religious Education was
presented by Rev. Harry T. Stock, Chairman. This committee
has been exceedingly active during the year and has func-
20 Minutes [1936
tioned through sub-committees, four of which have had age-
group assignments. The chief recommendation is the re-
iterated request for a Department of Religious Education,
with a full-time Secretary.
The report of the Committee on Moral and Social Welfare
was presented by Rev. Joseph C. MacDonald, Chairman.
He urged the consideration by all the churches of the resume
of Conference resolutions 1932-1935, as found on pages 12
and 18 of the Advance Reports.
The first of the two new resolutions was amended by delet-
ing certain sentences from the preamble and substituting ip.
the resolution the word ''Commonwealth" for "State." It
was adopted as follows:
Because of our deep concern for those high principles and noble tradi-
tions which have made Massachusetts great, we view with grave appre-
hension the spirit being shown by the present administration in our Com-
monwealth. We appeal to every conscientious citizen, regardless of race
or creed or social status, to do his utmost to restore decent government to
Massachusetts. For it is our firm belief that one of the needs of the
present hour is for honest men in the places of responsibihty in our
Commonwealth. -i^
Therefore be %t resolved: That at the coming state elections the con-
scientious citizens of our Commonwealth are urged to make every effort,
after a careful examination of their records, to put out of public office all
those who are using that office for their own selfish ends, and to elect in
their places trustworthy public officials who can be counted upon to main-
tain the noblest traditions of our great Commonwealth.
The second resolution relative to the Teachers' Oath Law
occasioned sharp discussion and Prof. Alfred K. Lane of Tufts
College, by request, spoke from the platform. This resolu-
tion was also amended and adopted to read as follows:
Although the State Legislature may have taken action on the repeal of
the Teachers' Oath Law before the Conference meets, the Committee is so
vigorously opposed to all legislation of this kind that it believes the Con-
ference should put itself on record in this matter. The Committee feels
that true patriotism cannot be compelled. It regards the Oath Law as
an unM^arranted interference with intellectual freedom, democratic princi-
ples, and Christian ideals. It seems to us to be an unnecessary discrimina-
tion against the teachers of our Commonwealth.
Therefore he it Resolved: That the Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference calls for the repeal of the Teachers' Oath Law and for unremitting
opposition to all kindred measures as insidious steps in the direction of
that coerced conformity with set patterns of political thought which has
marked the regimes of both fascism and communism. We declare such
coercive methods to be repugnant to the traditions of our country, to
1936] Minutes 21
intellectual liberty and to Christian sincerity. We therefore call upon the
people of our churches to mobilize their moral and spiritual power in
behalf of a new crusade for freedom.
The Report of the Woman's Department was presented by
Mrs. Elizabeth Z. Grabill, Chairman of the Department of
Woman's Work, who was given applause by the Conference.
The report of the Committee on the Future Policy of the
Conference to The Board of Pastoral Supply was presented
by Rev. Clarence W. Dunham, Chairman. The Conference
adopted the first seven recommendations and referred the
eighth recommendation to the Business Committee.
The seven recommendations adopted are as follows:
1. That the Board of Pastoral Supply be maintained in its present rela-
tion to the Massachusetts Conference and other New England Conferences,
but with a clearer definition of areas of responsibility and operation.
2. It is recommended that churches aided by the State Conference
should all go directly to the state office for advice as to pastors and policies.
3. It is recommended that in the true spirit of Congregationalism the
way be left open for independent churches to seek advice as to new pastors
through the Board of Paotoral Supply, the state office, or any other channel
desired.
4. It is recommended that closer contacts be maintained between the
Board of Pastoral Supply and the State Office relative to all suggestions
made to Massachusetts churches regarding pastors. This should be
carried out through personal conversations between the President of the
Conference and the Secretary of the Board.
5. It is recommended that when vacancies occur in Massachusetts
churches and letters are sent by the Board to such churches offering the
aid of the Board, such letters should include the suggestion that both the
State Office and the Board are ready to assist in any way possible. This
will follow the practice of other New England Conferences.
6. It is recommended that after the settlement of a pastor, when there
is need in a church for outside advice in matters of policy and problems
within the church, the church should confer with the state office, rather
than with the Board of Pastoral Supply.
7. It is recommended that the President of the State Conference should
always be included among the Massachusetts representatives of the Con-
ference on the Board of Pastoral Supply.
The report of the Grant Study Committee was adopted.
This included an approval of the work of the American Inter-
national College as a missionary enterprise and the endorse-
ment of the work of providing opportunity for religious in-
struction at Massachusetts State College.
It was Voted: That any further action as suggested by this report bo left
with the Trustees' Committee on Aided Churches.
22 Minutes [1936
It was moved and carried that the amendment to Article
IV of the By-Laws which had been laid upon the table last
year, be taken from the table.
The following amendment was then adopted:
Thai in Article IV, paragraph entitled "Voting Members" of the By-
Laws, after the words "(including the members of the Board of Trustees)"
there be added within the parentheses the words "and any person who shall
have been elected an Officer Emeritus."
The report of the Committee on Missions and Apportion-
ment was presented by the Chairman, Rev. Hugh Penney,
and the report was accepted and the following recommenda-
tions adopted, approved by the Board of Trustees for
presentation to the Conference were adopted:
1. That the Goal for Apportionment giving for 1936 be set at ^3.50,000.
This is the same figure as adopted last year, but represents about a 10 per
cent advance over the Apportionment giving of 1935.
2. That the receipts from Apportionment giving for the year 1936 be
divided, unless the Treasurer is otherwise instructed by the contributing
churches, according to the following schedule :
American Board 41. %
National Home Boards 42.5%
Council for Social Action 2.5%
State Work (including 1% for the Boston
Seaman's Friend Society) 14. %
100%
3. That the receipts from Apportionment giving for 1937 be divided,
unless the Treasiu-er is otherwise instructed by the contributing churches,
according to the following schedule:
American Board 40. %
National Home Boards 41. %
Council for Social Action 2.5%
State Work 15.5%
Boston Seaman's Friend Society . . . 1- %
100%
4. That grants to aided churches be made with the clear understanding
that a contribution to the Apportionment shall be made by them each year.
The Conference then took a recess until 4,00 o'clock.
The Conference resumed its session at 4.00 o'clock. Miss
Margaret Slattery of Boston gave an address on: "Thy
Kingdom Come — but not Now." This was a most com-
pelling address, urging sacrificial acceptance of the disturbing
social results of Jesus' teaching. The auditorium was crowded,
with many standing, and a loud speaker was installed in an
adjoining room for an overflow meeting.
1936] Minutes 23
Four simultaneous supper conferences were held by the
laymen, the women, the young people and the Preaching
Mission Committee.
The young people met at 6.00 o'clock in the dining hall of
the church. One hundred and ninety young people sat down
to supper. Professor Ralph S. Harlow of Smith College gave
an address on ''Our Religion — Suppose it Really Worked."
A forum period followed the address. A concluding worship
service was conducted by the Rev. Joseph Reeves of Win-
chendon.
The Annual Meeting of the Woman's Department was held
at a supper meeting May 18, Mrs. Ethelbert V. Grabill, the
Chairman, presiding. One hundred and fifty women were
present. Members of the Executive Committee and other
Standing Committees were elected. Mrs. Mary R. Carver,
Secretary, gave a review of the year's work. Mrs. Grabill
gave a fine presentation of the activities in the Districts and
the plans for the future, urging the use of the Missionary
Herald, the Cent-a-Meal Boxes, and suggesting a united
women's organization in each church.
MONDAY EVENING
The service of worship was conducted by the Chaplain of
the Conference under the theme: "The Twofold Ministry."
In the words of Jesus to the impotent man, ''Thy sins be for-
given" and "arise," Jesus showed once for all that the spiritual
and social gospel are one.
Music was furnished during the evening by the Nevin Glee
Club, under the direction of Mr. Walter B. Eaton.
Greetings from Gardner were felicitously presented by the
pastor of the church, the Rev. Baldwin W. Callahan, and by
his Honor James A. Timpany, Mayor of Gardner. On behalf
of the Conference, the Moderator, Rev. David N. Beach,
made suitable response.
24 Minutes [1936
Our most distinguished layman, for more than forty years
a world traveler and a crusader for righteousness, Mr, Fred B.
Smith, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the General
Council of the Congregational and Christian Churches, gave
the address of the evening, on the topic, "The Church of
Tomorrow." Mr. Smith brought, at the opening of his
address, the greetings of the Regional Conference of the South-
east, recently held at Burlington, North Carolina, and the
greetings also of the New York Conference through Superin-
tendent Walter H. Rollins. The evening session was ad-
journed after the singing of the hymn, 'Taith of our Fathers."
TUESDAY MORNING
The Business meeting was called to order at 9.00 o'clock by
the Moderator, who opened the session with prayer.
The report of the Treasurer was then presented by Mr.
Sewall. He commented upon the decline not only in gifts
from the churches, but the even greater decline in receipts
from invested funds. Bequests have also fallen off. Refer-
ring to the fears once expressed by Dr. Emrich that the Home
Missionary work of the state would suffer as a result of the
merger, Mr, Sewall urged that only an increased emphasis
upon the missionary motive can ever restore or advance the
giving of the churches.
The auditor's report was presented and read by the Presi-
dent of the Conference.
It was Voted: That the reports be accepted and printed.
It was Voted: That the recommendation accepted yesterday fixing the
1937 distribution of apportionment giving, be reconsidered and that the
question be referred to a joint committee of the Business Committee and
the Committee on Missions and Apportionment.
Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey presented in an impressive
manner the Necrology of the Conference, giving brief items
of interest in the life and work of pastors and former pastors
who have died during the past twelve months.
Rev. Alfred V. Bliss, Secretary of the Conference, then
1936] Minutes 25

The President of the Conference, Rev. Ralph M. Timber-
lake, then presented a comprehensive, forward looking re-
port, which may be found elsewhere in these Minutes.

1936] Minutes 27
The Council for Social Action through the chairman, Rev.
Joseph C. MacDonald, then presented Prof. Earl M. Winslow,
who recently resigned as Professor of Economics at Tufts
College in protest against the Teachers' Oath Law, who spoke
upon the subject, ''The Threat of Fascism to a Christian
Social Order."
Prof. Winslow also spoke with others at a luncheon hour
discussion, held by the Social Action group at the Chestnut
St. Methodist Church.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The session was resumed at 2.00 o'clock. Home and
Foreign work was considered with Rev. Hugh Penney in the
chair. Secretary George N. White spoke with fire and under-
standing of the present need for even more aggressive work
by the American Missionary Association on behalf of the
rights of personality among the underprivileged of our land.
Rev. Frank C. Laubach of the American Board of Foreign
Missions then spoke. He has developed in Mindanao,
Philippine Islands, a system for teaching illiterates to read,
which has elicited the enthusiasm of educators everywhere
and has aroused hope among that half of the world's popula-
tion which does not yet know how to read. One result of his
address was that an offering was taken to help defray the
expenses of his proposed world trip in the interest of his
language charts. This offering amounted to $115.72.
The report of the Boston Seaman's Friend Society was then
presented by Rev. Roy G. Pavy, who emphasized the little
realized cruelty and bitterness of life on the sea.
At 4.00 o'clock the Rev. Harry R. Butman of Edgartown,
Massachusetts, presented most felicitously and effectively the
case for the Federated Church.
The Rev. Harry W. Kimball of Needham presented "A
Forward Looking Program for Massachusetts Congregational-
ism." He spoke to the resolution presented on Monday,
calling for an appropriation of $6,000 for the establishment of a
28 Minutes [1936
Department of Religious Education, with a full-time secre-
tary. A spirited discussion followed this presentation in
which twelve men and one woman participated. The recom-
mendation of the Business Committee was then adopted that
an appropriation of $600 be granted to the Committee on
Rehgious Education for the purpose of dramatizing the need
for strengthening the work of religious education through our
churches in the Commonwealth with the hope that new re-
sources may soon be discovered to engage the services of a fuU--
time secretary of Religious Education and Young People's
Work.
Section No. 8 of the Report of the Committee on the Future
Policy of the Conference to the Board of Pastoral Supply,
which was referred yesterday to the Business Committee, was
brought before the Conference by the Business Committee
with its recommendation that the grant to the Board of
Pastoral Supply be increased from J 5-6 cents per member to
2 cents per member pro rata.
In the discussion which followed. Rev. Charles C. Merrill,
Secretary of the Board of Pastoral Supply, presented certain
reasons which convinced the Conference of the need of a
larger grant. As a result, the following amendment was
adopted :
Section 8. In view of the report of the work rendered to Massachusetts
by the Board of Pastoral Supply, in view of the decrease of revenues from
normal sources, and in view of the fact that three other Conferences have
voted to increase their grants to two cents per member, it is recommended
that in place of the additional grant of $800.00 made this year by the
Board of Trustees, Massachusetts increase its annual grant to the Board
of Pastoral Supply from If cents per member to 2| cents per member,
pro rata.
The Business Committee then presented the following
resolution which had been submitted by Rev. George H.
Douglas of Westford, which was adopted: In view of the
opportunity which we shall have to vote on local option at
the state election in November:
Be it Resolved: Thai the State Conference urge each of its constituent
churches to bring before its community the facts of its owti liquor selling
situation and so appeal in the strongest way to its people to vote no-license.
Rev. Hugh Penney for the Joint Committee of the Business
1936] Minutes 29
Committee and the Committee on Missions and Apportion-
ment reported back to the Conference the recommendation
adopted Monday afternoon concerning the distribution of
apportionment giving for the year 1937 which it was voted
to reconsider: The Committee recommended that the vote
passed Monday afternoon regarding the division of Appor-
tionment giving for 1937 be rescinded and that the receipts
from apportionment giving for the year 1937 be the same as
for the year 1936, unless the Treasurer is otherwise instructed
by the contributing churches, namely according to the follow-
ing schedule:
American Board 41. %
National Home Boards 42.5%
Council for Social Action 2.5%
State Work (including 1% for the Boston
Seaman's Friend Society) 14. %
100%
These recommendations were adopted.
At this point the Conference received the invitation of the
Eliot-Union Church of Lowell, Rev. Hugh Penney, pastor,
to hold its session in 1937 in that church. The invitation was
gratefully accepted.
TUESDAY EVENING
The session began at 7.30 with music with Mr. Walter B.
Eaton at the organ, also directing the church quartet and
chorus.
The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Russell Henry Staf-
ford, and prayer was offered by Chaplain Calkins.
The work of the Board of Ministerial Aid was presented
by Rev. Austin Rice of Wakefield, following which an offering
was taken amounting to $155.25 for Ministerial Relief.
Rev. Russell Henry Stafford of the Old South Church,
Boston, preached a sermon of great power on the equality of
all nations before God, as revealed in the prophecy of Amos
1:6 to 2:16.
The communion service was conducted by Rev. Baldwin W.
30 Minutes [1936
Callahan, Minister of the entertaining church, assisted by
Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, President of the Conference.
WEDNESDAY MORNING
The Conference was called to order at 9.00 o'clock by the
Moderator, who led in prayer.
He then presented on behalf of the Committee on Religious
Education Dean James Muilenburg of the University of Maine,
who in his address and during the discussion which followed,
infused vitality and optimism into that which, tragically
enough, is too often assumed to be deadening, namely, Re-
ligious Education.
At 10.15, under the general topic, ''The Church Facing its
Problems,'- Rev. Lionel Whiston of Fitchburg spoke on
"Evangelism." Evangelism is not good news, but the bear-
ing of it, and the evangelist must himself first be the embodi-
ment of it.
Rev. Raymond B. Blakney, of Williamstown, spoke on
"Devotional Life." He related an interesting experiment in
placing the sermon near to the beginning of the service, with
the definite purpose of preparing the congregation for the
culmination of the hour in worship.
Mrs. Royal G. Whiting, of Weston, spoke for "Social
Action," beginning with a beautifully presented life of Christ
as it might be told were He to have lived in the world of our
century.
Rev. Paul G. Macy, of Worcester, spoke for "Missions,"
urging the realization of two facts: first, that all available
financial resources of the American Board have been ex-
hausted; and second, that there are, nevertheless, many
reasons for encouragement. Our educational and medical
work has made distinct advancements as compared with seven
years ago. He urged that Congregationalists everywhere
read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the Massachusetts
issue of the new missionary booklet called "Custodians of
the Pilgrim Spirit.'"
1936] Minutes 31
A report of the Business Committee was presented by Rev.
Myron W. Fowell, Chairman, and the following resolutions
were adopted :
Be it Resolved: That the Massachusetts Conference expresses its appre-
ciation of the splendid hospitaUty afforded by the First Congregational
Church of Gardner and its pastor in the generous provisions made for the
137th Annual Meeting of the Conference.
It likewise expresses its appreciation of the hospitality of the city of
Gardner as expressed by its Mayor, and of the co-operation of the St. Paul's
Episcopal Church, the Chestnut Street Methodist Church, the Unitarian
Society and the order of Eastern Star in preparing delightful meals for the
Conference guests.
The Conference expresses its appreciation of the very capable leadership
of the retiring Moderator, of the unusually effective work of the Program
Committee and of the faithful service of all other committees and individ-
uals whose thought and prayers have made for a truly great Conference.
The Conference learns with regret of the illness of Dr. A. Z.
Conrad, of Boston, and extends to him its sympathy and
goodwill.
The Conference also sends greetings to Rev. Arthur J.
Covell, of Arlington, whose illness has caused us to miss his
counsel and fellowship.
The Conference appreciates the friendly greeting of the
New York Conference extended through Dr. Fred B. Smith
and extends its own good wishes to that Conference for a very
successful meeting.
The Conference also sends its greetings to Rev. Arthur
Barber, of Lawrence.
Rev. Clifford 0. Simpson, of Arlington, spoke of the informal
discussion periods to be held in connection with the General
Council meeting at South Hadley in June.
Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey, Chairman, then read the
report of the Committee on Credentials, which is as follows:

\
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
Inasmuch as a primary obligation of the Conference is to serve its
ministers, we have several times this year invited the pastors of the churches
to meet together in order that they might "consider one another, to arouse
one another to love and good works."
The first occasion was the Annual Convocation at South Hadley in Sep-
tember. It would not do to say that we "broke the ice" for the General
Council, rather — that we enjoyed the Cream of the Hospitality of Mount
Holyoke College.
The addresses by Dean Potter, Professor John C. Bennett, Dr. Harry W.
Kimball and Rev. Ronald J. Tamblyn gave the delegates helpful sugges-
tion for their study and work through the months that followed. Many
pastors were good enough to say that the program this year was worthy of
its predecessors.
In November with the assistance of Dr. Goodsell, Dr. Burton and Dean
Graham, five Churchmanship Conferences were held across the state. We
were entertained by Paul Macy at Plymouth-Piedmont Church, Worces-
ter; George Cary at the Bradford Church, Haverhill; Dr. Raymond
Calkins at the First Church, Cambridge; Carl Knudsen at the Church of
the Pilgrimage, Plymouth, and by Ray Gibbons at the First Church, North-
ampton. At these one-day sessions some of the problems of the modern
effective church received thorough consideration, particularly those rela-
tive to the outreach of the church into the community and into the foreign
field.
The qmckening of the thought of the younger ministers toward the
missionary program of the church was attempted by two conferences for
pastors ordained within the last eight years. With Dr. Fagley's help,
meetings were held in Watertown with Dr. Camp and in Northampton
with Albert Penner, to which all the younger pastors of the state were
invited.
In February, about the time of the Springfield Study Conference, yet
in no way conflicting with that inspirational program, and again with the
assistance of Dr. Fkgley, pre-Lenten conversations were held at eight
t strategic centers for the pastors of the vicinity. The ministers of Essex
and Andover met with Howard Bozarth at Haverhill, those of Pilgrim with
Joseph McCorison at Braintree, Theodore Lathrop of Framingham enter-
tained the ministers of that locality, and Roy Minich, of Maiden, the pastors
of Wobrn-n Association. The Old Colony pastors met with William B.
Mathews at New Bedford, the Cape pastors with Carl Schultz at Hy-
annis and the Worcester and Brookfield men with Earl Steeves in Lei-
34 Report of the President [1936
cester. Robert Underwood was the host to the ministers in the vicinity
of Fitchburg.
While there is no question as to the inspirational value in the fellowship
and varied program of these several types of meetings, it would seem as
though in an ordinary year it would be much better to have fewer meetings
and to continue them through longer periods, putting on at one time a
more comprejiensive and intensive program. Because there are OYQf five
hundred pastoi's in the state there seems to be wisdom in a plan of sectional
convocations. To maintain the morale of its ministers, broadening their
outlook, stimulating their thinking, building up their sense of comradeship
and unity in a great cause, quickening their spiritual life, — this is one of
the first and most important duties of our Conference. For this important
work there should be always available sufficient funds to secure the best
possible leadership. The caring for these Convocations might well be the
obligation of the Committee on the Standards for the Ministry. We pride
ourselves upon the standards for Congregational pastors set by this com-
mittee. We might well assign to them the responsibility of encouraging
our pastors to maintain this high level of efficiency and spirituality.
Because the General Council meets this June in Massachusetts and the
National Preaching Mission in Boston in December, the Trustees have
thought well to omit the usual Convocation this fall.
In addition to these formal gatherings it has been a great satisfaction
to have had so many informal meetings with individual pastors in their
homes and beside my desk. It is a rare and sacred privilege which we
have, as members of the Staff, in sharing the intimate and personal prob-
lems, aspirations and achievements. There was real uplift and encourage-
ment when so many pastors individually responded to my invitation to
join in the quiet moments of intercession each morning daring Lent.
II. Associations
During the year several more Associations have adopted new constitu-
tions, modeled after the form prepared under the direction of the State
Office, Closer uniformity in organization will undoubtedly lead to a
freer interchange of plans and programs, and to easier cooperation in mat-
ters of our common concern.
Last winter representatives from each Association met to discuss the
I^ossibility of synchronizing the dates of the semi-annual meetings of our
twenty-one Associations. A schedule was developed whereby in both
spring and fall, through a period of five weeks there would be but two meet-
ings on any one day and these would be in adjacent territory. According
to latest reports every Association has approved this arrangement, although
in some instances it has required a change in by-laws. Such cooperative
spirit strengthens the bonds of fellowship.
1936] Report of the President 35
From my acquaintance with the working of the different Associations
1 have noticed three important matters that should receive careful thought.
Perhaps it may be permissible for me, in this general meeting, to refer to
these improvements in administration because they affect, not alone the
individual groups but the wellbeing of our Conference as a whole. First,
there is a laxity in some Ordination Councils. Failure to hold to the
standards recommended by this Conference and the General Council may
seriously embarrass the Conference in years to come. Another advance
might be made by greater care in the important work of Nominating
Committees. Too much thought cannot be given to the selection of
leaders within the Association or of representatives of the Association in
the larger work of the Conference. In the third place, I have discovered
that the Association meetings best attended and most interesting are those
for which a responsible committee has given adequate time and thought
to the preparation of the program. It is expecting too much to ask the
entertaining pastor to take the full charge of this responsibility.
III. Committees
You will be interested to know that at last the benevolence giving of our
churches shows signs of improvement. This is true not only for the country
as a whole but also here in Massachusetts. For instance, the comparative
figures for the first four months of the past several years show that since
1927 there has been a gradual decrease, from $105,000 to $40,000 in 1935.
Last year we dropped below the previous year something like $7,000.
For the months of January, February, March and April in 1936 the gifts
of the churches to our whole missionary work has increased over the
amount in 1935 by $2,000. It should be noted that the bulk of this increase
was in gifts to the work of the American Board, and not to our state work.
We have reason, as a missionary-minded church, to thank God and take
courage. Evidence is here of the value of the work that has been done by
our state committee on Missions and Apportionment and the corresponding
committees in the Associations.
Reference ought to be made to the excellent report of the Committee
on Religious Education concerning the work accomplished and the program
contemplated, particularly by the sub-committees on Young People's
Work and on Summer Conferences. We are fortunate in having this well
qualified, volunteer group, led by Dr. Harry T. Stock, Secretary of the
national Education Society, willing to give their enthusiastic and intelli-
gent guidance to this important department of Education.
In considering the appointment of a full time secretary for this depart-
ment no one would question the importance of this worlc with young people.
A member of the staff, charged with leadership in education, not alone for
Children and Youth, but for Adults as well, and for education, — not
36 Report of the President [1936
only in Religion, but in Social Ethics and Missions, — would be a great
asset. Inasmuch as some may question the advisability of incurring
additional expense at the present time, it might be borne in mind that we
have not yet tapped all the leadership resources available at the Congrega-
tional House. There are other national leaders, resident in Massachusetts,
members of our churches, related to our Associations, who might be willing
to put at our disposal some of their free time and much of their valuable
experience. Quite properly the hearty thanks of this meeting should be
extended to Dr. Stock for his generous assistance.
As in recent years, the administrative work of the Religious Education
Committee has been done by Mrs. Allbright. She has, in a like capacity,
served the State Young People's Committee. For the Conference, Mrs.
Allbright has had charge of the Peace Plebiscite assisting the Committee
on Moral and Social Welfare, and has been the Managing Editor of the
News Letter. It is a testimony of her popularity that she has been called
upon frequently to speak before Young People's and Church School groups.
The Laymen's Committee, under the leadership of Mr. Wilfred Chapin,
has made considerable progress in organizing the church men in several
Associations. They planned a second Laymen's Supper Conference for
this Annual Meeting with the definite intention of securing the attendance
of a larger proportion of men. This year our committee has joined with
those of the other New England states in promoting the Isles of Shoals
Laymen's Conference, over the first week-end of August.
Congregationalism began in New England at Plymouth as a layman's
Chm-ch. Functionally a Congregational Church is a laymen's organiza-
tion. One of the great needs of today is to enlist the enthusiastic support
of laymen and reawaken a sense of reisponsibil^ty for the life and work of
the Church. Several of our pastors have with marked success used a
Laymen's Retreat for their officials. Over a week-end they have gone
apart with their men to think together concerning the things of the King-
dom. Not every pastor or church is able to do this. Here is an oppor-
timity for the Conference to promote a general program of Laymen's
Retre'ats. The facilities of Andover-Newton Seminary are available for
such a purpose. Our pl3,ns for the future should include a definite advance
along this line. But aggressive work on the part of this committee as of
the other Conference committees is dependent upon sufficient funds being
provided by the chm-ches to enable them to meet their opportunities.
IV. Evangelism
If one may rightly judge by the reports received from the chiu-ches, the
past Lenten period has been one of marked spiritual development. More
and more our churches are using this season for special services and our
pastors are themselves giving able educational and religious leadership to
1936] Report of the President 37
their own people. Some valuable original material was prepared this year
for Young People both by Paul McElroy in Manchester and Dr. H. D.
Gray of South Hadley.
The Preaching Mission Program has been used with varying degrees of
success in twelve of our chiu-ches. The season, the preparation, the
program and the missioner, — thefee all have had much to do with determin-
ing the beneficial results. As the pastors have entered heartily and sym-
pathetically into this program they have discovered its great possibilities
for a sane evangelism.
The Conference appreciates the willing spirit of the ministers of the
State who went out as Missioners. It was not always easy for them to
leave their own churches, to give of their time and strength to this work, — ■
nor for their churches to have them away, — and we would take this occa-
sion publicly to thank them. We are well aware, too, of the splendid co-
operation on the part of the pastors of the churches visited in making
prayerful preparation for tjiese services.
V. The Flood
As a result of our appeal for contributions toward a fund to aid parishes
seriously affected by the flood, about three thousand dollars have been sub-
scribed. The contributors have been churches, associations and indi-
viduals, 200 in number. We are hopeful of receiving checks from many
more. Will you let this announcement be a reminder of the need and an
invitation to participate.
VI. Staff
It gives me pleasure to express great satisfaction with what has been
accomplished in his first year of service by the Field Secretary, George A.
Tuttle. Realizing that his work would be effective only as it was built
upon a foundation of good- will and friendly relationships, Mr. Tuttle has
sought in various ways to meet ministers and church people of western
Massachusetts. He has already made more than one hundred such con-
tacts, and some fifty-eight churches have definitely turned to him for
service in one form or another. He has given special study to the fifty or
more churches receiving financial aid from the Conference. Of these
twelve might be consideSred as problem fields and have required particular
investigation. One federation of churches has been consummated and
preparations are under way for another. Other realignments are under
consideration. There is every indication that Mr. Tuttle is liecoming
a strong tie binding the churches and associations of western Massachusetts
more closely to one another and more understandingly and cordially to
the State Conference itself.
38 Report of the President [1936
The past year has been a very active one for Mrs. Carver. As Secretary
of the Woman's Work she has been accountable for the details of the
Woman's Department, committee meetings, public meetings, supply lists
for schools and hospitals, parsonage boxes, programs for local societies,
together with many speaking appointments on behalf of the Home Boards.
For the Conference she has continued her oversight of appointments for
Missionary Speakers and of the Missionary Projects. Information regard-
ing the missionary work, both at home and abroad, together with recent
letters from the field are always available from Mrs. Carver.
Mention should be made of an achievement in cooperation between the
Conference and the Congregational Church Union of Boston. Many of
you know of the very helpful work of this latter organization in aiding and
directing building programs of om- churches in Greater Boston and vicinity.
The C. C. U. has gained a wide experience, has assumed large responsi-
bility and has made heavy investments, but recently its income has ma-
terially diminished.
Our Board of Trustees, at the suggestion of the Directors of the C. C. U.,
has decided to enter into a cooperative relationship with them. The plan
provides for a joint "Committee on Churches and Parsonages" which shall
confer on building Grants and make united recommendations to the Church
Building Society. Thus will the Trustees and the Staff of the Conference
become acquainted with the activities and methods of the Union and have
a share in advising and counseling a new department. The arrangement is
purely tentative and may be discontinued or developed as experience
warrants.
This venture in the unification of Congregational interests in Boston
may warrant further advance along this line. It is the outcome of the
advice and vision of Dr. Frederick Harlan Page and is typical of the con-
tinued service to the Conference of its beloved and esteemed President
Emeritus.
Vn. The Futuke
Looking ahead, I have already suggested several objectives for our en-
deavor, — for instance, a comprehensive and intensive Convocation for
Ministers; a definite plan of conferences for Laymen; the gradual develop-
ment of a Department of Education; the provision of funds for Conference
Committees in order that they may more fully meet their responsibilities.
Due to our declining income, the Trustees have been forced to reduce the
salaries of some of our missionary pastors below the amount they should
receive. The Board is about to inaugurate a definite program of further
retrenchment in missionary Grants. We ought to plan, however, to main-
tain all truly missionary enterprises in the State, and to give each worker
whom we do continue, an equitable and adequate salary. By encourag-
ing some churches to unite, by requiring others to attempt self-support,
1936] Report of the President 39
and by transferring to local support some work which is not strictly a
Conference obligation, we hope to carry on an aggressive program this year
without drawing too heavily upon our capital resource^.
A cooperative plan is being developed whereby the News Letters of the
several State Conferences will be published simultaneously and will con-
tain common material in the way of illustrations and general church news.
To secure the benefit of this cooperative enterprise we will need to make
radical changes in the publication of our Neivs Letters. While the Board
of Trustees favors this step, its inception will incur considerable initial
expense, and its success will depend upon the assistance of every pastor and
church.
In many communities there is great need of a thorough and complete
religious survey. We ought to know, regarding several cities, the social
and religious trends in order to plan wisely for a realignment of our churches.
With the impending increased migration of colored people to the North,
we must prepare to support an enlarged program for our colored churches.
To maintain the annuities of retired ministers in our state at a minimum
rate of $500, last year we gave to the Ministerial Boards a special appro-
priation. This year we were asked to do the same thing, but as yet have
not done so. Next year the necessary contribution for this purpose will be
a larger amount. The justice and heart appeal of this request is so apparent
that we should be prepared to meet our obligation to the full.
Next fall the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America will
conduct a National Preaching Mission in 25 leading cities of United States
and Canada. Boston is to be one of these. The Mission will be held
thdre Dec. 3, 4, 5, 6. Having had a little insight into the purpose and
methods of the National Preaching Mission Committee, 1 have every
expectation that the meetings in Boston will be productive of great spiritual
good for all the churches of the Commonwealth, and particularly for our
Congregational churches, inasmuch as we already have had some experience
with, and have learned the value of, the Parish Preaching Mission.
To Boston there will come some fifteen of the outstanding religious
leaders of the nation for these four days. Among the names that are
better known stand those of Albert W. Beaven, E. Stanley Jones, Lynn

Lester, Daniel A. Poling, Merton S. Rice, Francis B. Sayre and Robert E.
Spear. These will come, not to put on an exhibit of great preaching, nor
to solve all our problems, not to raise money nor to promote any particular
cause: They will come with the sincere desire to create the assurance that
our needs can be met only by rededication; that our problems will be solved
only by response to spiritual power and that the solution will be found,
not in these visitors but in ourselves. Their one intent will be to help our
people realize that the Christian Gospel is the greatest thing in the world, —
40 Report of the President [1936
more so than foreign missions, than religious education, than cooperatives.
The purpose of the National Preaching Mission is to rebuild the foundations
of Faith, to impart a new vision of God and convictions regarding God.
The program for the three week days will include on each morning a
session for ministers, with the general theme, "Effective Preaching", and
discussing on the successive days the Preacher, Preparation for Preaching,
Preaching for the Mind of Today. On each morning there will also be a
session for women, to consider the theme, "The Responsibility of Women
for a Christian World." During the morning there will be a radio address.
At noon each day there will be a public service in some down-town church,
— also a luncheon for key laymen with an address and a similar luncheon
for women.
On each afternoon from two to five o'clock there will be two groups of
seminars for ministers and church leaders covering ten different vital sub-
jects. At half past four there will be a Young People's session with an
address and an opportunity for questions. At 6.00 o'clock there will be a
supper conference for church workers. Each evening there will be a mass
meeting, having the definite purpose of uplifting Jesus Christ as the power
of God unto Salvation, — ■ and within a radius of 25 miles there will be
extension meetings in outlying centers. The Mission will close with a
general meteting Sunday afternoon.
The ultimate purpose of this whole-souled, sacrificial §;ffort is to arouse
churches to sense the value of, and to inspire our leaders with enthusiasm
for a program of individual parish missions. The important feature of the
whole endeavor is this final general arrangement for a week or more of
special services in local churches, these to be conducted by the pastor or a
neighboring pastor or an evangelist.
Here is a program, therefore, that 1 believe the Congregational churches
of Massachusetts should enter into most heartily. Not within twenty-
five years, not since the Men and Religion Forward Movement, has there
been such a concerted and genuinely religious effort on the part of the
Protestant Churches of America.
1 hope that it will be possible to offer every Congregational minister
in the state free entertainment in Boston during this period, and that each
chm-ch will be represented by some lay folk as well as the pastor. The
National Preaching Mission is not an undertaking rqgarding which we can
be indifferent or critical. Its very purpose and spirit make it a movement
by which will be judged our worthiness to be leaders in the Christian
Church.
1936] Report of the President 41
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Ye faithful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds ye so much dread
.4re big with mercy, and shall break
In blessing on your head.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CON-
FERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
It is an honor and a joy to report to you on the state of the churches
in the Conference, especially the churches with which the Conference is
cooperating financially. This is the first time that I have been asked
to make an annual report. I do it now because the work heretofore done
by the Registrar is now combined with the duties of the Secretary. Dr.
Henry Lincoln Bailey, who served the Conference as Registrar for 27
years, had a passion for figures and statistics. He made them strut across
the stage, clothed with life, and at times adorned with beauty. Dr. Bailey
is truly a good man to follow but a hard man to equal. Massachusetts
Congregationalism owes him an incalculable debt of gratitude. He has
collaborated with me in preparing portions of the statistics for the national
and state year books.
We have 26 churches, each with a thousand members or over. The
largest is Holyoke, Second, with 1,883 members. The largest church
school is Dorchester, Second, with 1,075 members.
In Massachusetts there are many elements that on the surface present
divisive differences. There are three areas where these differences are
most conspicuous: first, among peoples of native and foreign stocks;
second, between the white and the colored races; third, between the
people in the city and those in the country.
In the first area, the people of foreign stock still have a voting majority.
Among our total population of 4,249,000 people, 1,000,000 are foreign born,
1,700,000 are native born children of foreign parentage, leaving 1,500,000
of us of native American stock — 27 foreign to 15 native people in this
old Puritan commonwealth, where up to 1691 no one could vote in the
colony imless he was a member of the Congregational church. The
percentage of people of foreign stock in Massachusetts and in several of
our cities is as foUows: Massachusetts, 64.2%; Boston, 71.50%; Chelsea,
84.4%; New Bedford, 77%; Brockton, 60%; FaU River, 78.4%; Worcester,
69.1%; Newton, 53%; Peabody, 71.1%. I welcome this as a pentecostal
opportunity for the Kingdom of God. We are still preaching the gospel
of Christ and doing his work in this commonwealth in 13 different foreign
languages, the Polish work in Easthampton being discontinued, tempo-
1936] Report of the Secretary 43
rarily I hope. We have 35 foreign-speaking churches of recognized stand-
ing with a total membership of 3,254 members, a goodly number of people
to save for Christ, many of whom, but for our faithful foreign pastors,
might today be atheists and communists. Today, some of our foreign
pastors, notably the Finns, are showing the friendly spirit of Christ to
the atheist and the communist and in many cases are winning them for
Christ. Christ is the only power, so far as I know, that will profoundly
unify native and foreigner, Jew and gentile, bond and free, and fashion
them into one happy people.
The Swedes seem to have been the first foreign group to organize churches
in Massachusetts, our Swedish church in Worcester having been organized
in 1880, and the Swedish churches in Lowell and Roxbury being organized
the next year. No one of these three churches receives aid from the
Conference.
Our work with our foreign-speaking people to me is exceedingly import-
ant. Their young people are proving themselves in school and in business
and the professions to be keen and clean, ambitious and industrious.
We are reducing our grants, however, in nearly all our foreign fields.
The Portuguese work in Falmouth has been discontinued as such; the
Swedish churches in Beverly and in Rockport, Pigeon Cove, are planning
to come together as a yoked field under one pastor; the two branches of
the Cilician Armenian Church in Cambridge have within a month voted
to come together as one united church; the Swedish church in Fitchburg
has already promised to go ahead without financial aid from the Con-
ference, beginning next fall.
Wlierever there is a foreign-speaking church near an English-speaking
church, the two churches should consider uniting as one church, all in a
friendly, democratic spirit. On this spirit depends the coalescing of
these two tjT^es of churches into one Church of Christ, made rich and
strong by the union of two national cultures.
II.
An insane racialism threatens to disrupt the unity of our nation, our
educational system, and even of our church. Christ has the power to
unite all groups in himself. Racialism in the church rests on the assump-
tion that the church is a social club and not a brotherhood in Christ.
In the early church Paul had great difficulty setting Peter right on this
matter. In the second chapter of Galatians, which deals with this, you
will see why Dr. Lyman Abbott long ago remarked that if Peter was the
first Pope, Paul was the first Protestant. We have four colored churches
that the Conference is aiding and we count these four ministers and their
people among our most loyal Christian workers in the state. The aid to
our colored church in Amherst was discontinued on the death of their
44 Report of the Secretary [1936
faithful minister, Rev. C. A. Gooding, last winter. Our wisest race leaders
realize that the best way for any group to advance is not by coercion, but
by showing themselves intellectually and morally superior. And many
of our colored people are doing just this.
III.
The obstinate question still persists: "Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth?" We answer, "Yes, come and see." In our cloud of answering
witnesses I can see Mary Lyon, Russell H. Conwell, Marshall Field, Dwight
L. Moody, William Cullen Bryant, Eugene W. Lyman, Emily Dickinson,
Dr. Dyer, medical missionary in China, Miss Truesdell, another mission-
ary in Africa, all and many others equally worthy and useful, who have
come out of our little hill towns of less than 2,000 population. Are our
rural towns producing such leaders today? Yes, some of them are. We
think it is important to maintain the work of Christ with dignity and
effectiveness in the rural towns of Massachusetts. From 1920 to 1930
in the United States at large there was a mass emigration from country
to city. Massachusetts shared in this movement. In numbers, in the
United States for example, there was a net total movement from country
to city of 1,137,000 in 1922. For 1930, 1931, 1932, the tide reversed and
ran to the country. But in 1933 and 1934 it was over 200,000 a year from
country to city. In this city trek the ages 18 to 30 predominated. This
means vigorous young people, seeking richer economic and cultural op-
portunity, many of them taking with them their savings from farming.
The country towns lost money by this depletion. They had fed, clothed,
educated and maintained the health of these youth for 15-30 years. O. E.
Baker of the Department of Agriculture in Washington estimates that
between 1920 and 1930 the rural contribution to the city in the United
States, for the young people, in these four items of food, clothes, education
and health, amounted to $1,400,000,000 a year. Of course this city popu-
lation increase raised property values and promoted trade generally.
This increase has probably been largely Protestant. With immigration a
minus quantity now, but originally largely Roman Catholic, the general
trend in the city ought to be helpful to our Protestant churches.
New England today has a well organized rural movement. The New
England Town and Country Church Commission of which Dr. Kenyon
Butterfield was President until his death last winter, and he has been
succeeded by Rev. Hilda L. Ives — this Commission is studjdng and sur-
vejdng the country towns, with a view to an "adequate and therefore a
Christian rural civilization," more effective church work, more cooperation,
fewer churches, more yoked fields, more Larger Parishes. It is cooperat-
ing with the denominational officers, the Massachusetts Council of
Churches, the Extension Service of the Federal Department of Agriculture,
1936] Report of the Secretary 45
and various other farm and rural organizations. I had the honor to be
connected with it while in Maine and am still a member of its Board of
Directors.
Affiliated with this, and acting as a source of supply for it, is the Inter-
Seminary Commission for Training of the Rural Ministr}^, which is a
piece of interdenominational cooperation among Yale, Hartford, Andover
Newton, Boston University, and Bangor Theological Schools, to give
special assistance to the rural churches of New England, especially in
training ministers in the understanding of rural life and people, and in the
special technique of the Larger Parish. Dr. Butterfield says in his book
on "The Christian Enterprise among Rural People," "For effective church
work the small, independent, open country church is doomed. Nor is
the outlook more hopeful for the weak, competitive village church."
Our one Larger Parish in Massachusetts, at Rochester and Lakeville is
doing valiant work with a reduced staff at present. We hope for a new
member for the staff very soon. A Larger Parish is in the incubating stage
in three different areas in the state, and I hope that within the year ahead
they may all three break through the shell and come out into the light
of day.
In regard to the rural church and community, Massachusetts especially
needs:
1. A stronger sense of the importance and dignity of the rural church
and community.
2. A larger understanding and appreciation of the rural and the city
church, by each other.
3. A more frequent exchange between rural and city ministers. The
Harvard and the Leyden Churches in Brookline, our church at West
Newton and the Baptist churches in Melrose and Fall River last Sunday
had five of our finest rural ministers preach in their pulpits, in observance
of Rural Sunday.
4. The city should in some way compensate the country for the cost
of its contribution to the city, which I have already referred to.
5. The rural ministry should have a spiritual and financial dignity so
as to command a long, and in many cases the life, service of the minister.
6. The rural community should enjoy more of the cultural advantages
enjoyed by the city, such as, musical concerts, public forums, adult educa-
tion. I happen to be on the advisory committee of the Boston Center for
Adult Education, and we would welcome any request for aid from any
community in the state in this matter of adult education.
7. The rural church should more effectively follow its young people
who move to the city, and the city church its yoxmg people who move to
the country.
8. The rural church would be greatly encouraged and helped if city
46 Report of the Secretary [1936
people, when they are in the country for a day, or a longer vacation, would
attend the services or other functions of the rural church.
The Conference is cooperating with a number of our larger city churches
which are doing valiant and valuable service amid the shifting currents of
race and nationality, student and boarding house. Instead of retreating
to the suburbs they are driving down their tent posts, and strengthening
their lines and giving light and hope and courage to those who greatly
need their help.
The inevitable trend today is toward cooperation and imity. Denomi-
nationalism as an end in itself has long outstayed its welcome. It has no
more future than a cake of ice in May. We rejoice in the rich heritage of
each one of the major denominations. But today these heritages belong
to all of us. No denomination has any copjright on any of its sacred
rights, memories or possessions. Our only hope of going ahead is in going
ahead together. The federated church and the Larger Parish are steps
in this direction. The union of the Christian denomination and the Con-
gregational is another step ahead. The recent decision of the great
Methodist Episcopal Church to unite with the Methodist Church South
and the Methodist Protestant Church, in one strong group, is another step
ahead, except for its abject surrender to race prejudice in segregating the
Negro churches in a Conference by themselves. Unions like these were
taking place in Canada in the Methodist, the Presbyterian and the Congre-
gational lellowships, for a hundred years, preparing the way for the coming
of the United Church of Canada, in 192-5.
Our Roman Catholic friends have been far wiser than we have been in
forming their churches. Counting only those persons 13 years old and
over, the average size of a Roman Catholic church in the United States is
900 members, while the average size of a Protestant church is 178 members.
In Massachusetts the average size of a Roman Catholic church is 1,659
members, 13 years of age and over, and of a Protestant church 243 members.
The average size of our Congregational churches this year in Massachu-
setts is 268 over 13. In 1900 our average size per church, over 13, was
180. We are improving.
I am glad to report our spirit of interdenominational cooperation as
revealed in this fact, namely, that out of the 55 federated churches, includ-
ing united churches of various kinds, in this commonwealth today, 49 of
these 55 have Congregational churches in them.
But the federated church is only a step forward — an important step
in the right direction. There is something better in the future. I see the
federated church up the street and I am proud of it. But beyond the
federated church, farther up the. road, beyond the colored church, beyond
the foreign-speaking church, away on ahead up the hill I see gleaming in
the sunlight of the new age the United Church of Christ in North America.

NECROLOGY
HENRY LINCOLN BAILEY
Twenty-one men holding their standing in ten of our Associations
have been promoted to a liigher fellowship within the year, Worcester
Central losing five and Hampshire four. Their ages ranged from
87 to 52, averaging almost exactly 69 years. Three were pastors
installed, three pastors, four pastors emeritus, and eleven were out
of the pastorate, most of them on the retired list because of age or
infirmity. Only five were born in this state, but 15 died here. Two
were English, one Scotch, one a native of Barbadoes, while Vermont
produced three, Maine, New York and Ohio two each, and Connecticut,
Pennsylvania and Minnesota one each. Death came to one each in
Maine, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Florida and
Quebec. Fourteen colleges from Glasgow to Chicago and Beloit, and
fourteen seminaries, again from Glasgow to Chicago, contributed to
the making of these ministers. Five had no pastorates outside of
Massachusetts, and two had none inside. Their range included most
of New England and the middle west, reaching to Utah and California
on the west, and to Quebec, the American Church in Berlin, and
Harpoot.
George Irving Adams had a short pastorate in Vermont. When
health permitted he was a teacher, chiefly in Pennsylvania, retiring
to a farm in Boylston before he was 50. William Baker Allis was
early and briefly at Haverhill, Arlington and Waltham, his connec-
tion being chiefly with the New York Conference. George Albert
Furness had a five-year pastorate at West Tisbury, and stayed on as
a resident ten years more. Clarence A. Gooding, a black brother from
the West Indies, came to Amherst a score of years ago as a cabinet
maker. In 1920 he was ordained as a Methodist and in '29 he took
over our Hope Church also. Within the past year he transferred his
standing to Hampshire Association and died in the true faith.
Tragedy stalked the pathway of Marshall N. Goold. His first pas-
torate was stopped by illness. He was a chaplain in the Boer war,
and served through the World War on the Belgian front, twice gassed,
twice wounded. With exceptional literary talent, he was persuaded
to serve Union Church in Worcester as pastor for nine years, inter-
rupted by ill health which finally caused a self-infiicted death.
Frederick Burnham Lyman, fifteen years at Fairhaven and Shrews-
bury, gave up for health reasons in 1915, living thenceforth in Maine.
Robert William McLaughlin had a single pastorate here, at Piedmont
Church, Worcester, after service in Wisconsin, Michigan and New
York, and followed by three years at the American Church in Berlin.
50 Necrology [1936
Harlan Paul Metcalf, pastor at Warwick and Wendell since 1934 had
served a number of churches as assistant pastor in Iowa, Michigan
and Ohio, and in Y. M. 0. A. work in Indiana and Minnesota, since
1900. After a 15-year pastorate at Madison, Ohio, he came to the
little parish in Franklin County where he died last week.
Charles Lincoln Morgan was the first pastor of Hope Church, Spring-
field, 60 years ago. In 1880 he went to Illinois for 14 years. He came
back to minister 10 years to Central Church, Jamaica Plain, went
back to Illinois for another 14 years, and then became pastor of Payson
Park in Belmont for nine years. Jesse Gilman Nichols had a 12-year
pastorate at Hamilton and then began a service at South Hadley last-
ing 29 years. Ira William Pierce, born in western New York, was
virtually a Canadian, by education and pastorates in Quebec before
and since his five-year service at Harpoot under the American Board.
He lodged his credentials with the Suffolk West Association in 1915
and never transferred back. I cannot think of Thomas Cole Richards
as a bird of passage, yet he had seven pastorates in 38 years, two in
Connecticut and five with us, at Dudley, Warren, Westboro, Bethany
in Quincy, and Mystic in Medford, where he has been pastor emeritus
since 1928. He was a prolific publicist and author. Charles Loring
Skinner had 30 years of pastoral service in Maine and New Hamp-
shire, broken by a year at Harwich Port and later by a year as super-
intendent of the Walker Home at Auburndale, after which he had
nine years at Greenwich, Hamilton and Douglas.
Among all these commissioned ofBicers in the Lord's army, one had
received the field marshal's baton, and the whole Congregational host
gasped at the news of Jay Thomas Stocking's unexpected death.
Mounting steadily to the height where it is difficult to estimate how
much one parish differeth from another parish in glory, he came back
last year to the city of his longesit service but to another church. And
suddenly he was not, for God took him. He was on our Conference
progra^l last year, inspiring us. And while we were in session an-
other brother passed out without warning when Carlyle Summerbell
dropped after speaking at the Unitarian annual meeting. He had
been pastor of Christian churches in Swansea and Fall River, as well
as prominent elsewhere.
Joseph Brainerd Thrall had time to spend six years at Pepperell
and ten at Leicester in the midst of transcontinental moves from
California to Connecticut to Utah to New York and Massachusetts to
South Dakota to North Carolina, and he lacked less than a month of
reaching 86. Last week Frederick James Ward, briefly pastor emeri-
tus at Southampton after a dozen years of service there, ended his
career. Of English birth and Baptist training, he had three Baptist
1936] Necrology 61
pastorates in this state before going to Southampton. Carey Herbert
Watson was 23 years with Greenfield First Church and later made
pastor emeritus, and five years at Phillipston. Charles Burditt Wil-
liams, ordained a Baptist 39 years ago had two Congregational pas-
torates in New Hampshire and two with us at Greenwich and Colrain.
Charles Henry Williams, trained a Methodist, stepped like several
others from Boston University into our ranks, with pastorates in
Cambridge, Gloucester and Jamaica Plain, and wielding ou;- moder-
ator's gavel in 1925. Frederick Arthur Wilson was pastor seven years
at Billerica and 31 at the Free Church in Andover, becoming church
clerk and pastor emeritus in 1920.
Besides these 21 memliers of our Conference, there are 13 others
who have ministered in the past to one or more of our churches,
August L. Anderson was six years with the First Swedish Church in
Worcester, and twice had a two-year pastorate in Orange. Truman D.
Childs was at Rochester, Chatham and Manomet for two years each.
William Weston Evans was two years at Northbridge Center, and
had very recently ended his five years at West Brookfield. Frank
Hugh Foster of Oberlin began his career in the North Reading church
for two years. William H. Hainer ministered to the Christian Church
in New Bedford four years half a century ago. Joseph Burnett Long
was pastor three years at Woods Hole. Caleb Lamb Rotch spent a
dozen years in two pastorates at Stoughton, and was also at Edgar-
town, North Rochester and Lakeville. Frank C. F. Scherff organized
our German church at Clinton in '87, remaining four years. Charles
Howard Shank began his ministry with nine years at the Christian
church in North Dighton. William Frederick Slocum, identified with
Colorado College nearly half a century, began with a six-year pas-
torate at Union Church, Amesbury. Charles B. Stenman spent eight
years with our Finnish churches in Worcester and Quincy. Samuel
Gordon Tucker served Kingston and Magnolia four years! Thomas
Eynon Williams was three years at North Wilbraham. I have just
time to mention three of our native sons who found their fields of
service outside our borders : Enoch Hale Burt, born in Westhampton,
spending 37 of his 49 pastoral years in Connecticut ; Charles Edwin
Gordon, born in Lawrence in 1848, serving in all our bordering New
England states, and Wilbur Leroy W^ood, born in Groveland and or-
dained there before going to Vermont and Rhode Island.

ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the
Massachusetts Home Missionary Society were united in a single cor-
poration. Previous to that time, the National Council of Congrega-
tional Churches and the Conference had paid their expenses for
meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for each
church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our
organization should still pay its own charges. Thirteen cents per
member is still asked of the churches. Seven cents of the thirteen
goes to the General Council (formerly The National Council) and
six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of the six cents
per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organiza-
tion to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon mis-
sionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and
interests of the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made perma-
nent funds by the donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the
income only. The practice of the Conference is to divide unrestricted
legacies into three equal parts. One part is used for current work, one
part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund, the income only of which is
used for general purposes; and the third part is added to a Contingent
Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for special under-
takings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be
expended as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole
or in part, these directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, the sum of Dollars.
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements
with the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part
of their property to be applied to our work after their death, and desire
an assured income from this property for themselves, or for others whom
they may designate as beneficiaries, so long as they hve. Correspondence
with the Treasurer concerning such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for
the benefit of churches. Many churches have put their trust funds
in the care of the Conference. It is now administering trust funds
for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of $377,000. It makes
no charge for its service. If any extra expense is incurred (expense
for legal service, for example) that is charged against the principal
or income of the fund involved. On funds which can be combined in
investment (Funds B) the Conference has earned and paid churches
the last year at the rate of 4.7%. Funds which have to be kept sepa-
rate in investment have yielded about 4.4%.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up
for the most part of persons who have had little experience in admin-
istering funds, to guard the safety of church trust funds. The Con-
ference has exceptional facilities for keeping funds safely and invest-
ing them profitably and wisely. The Board of Trustees of the Con-
ference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large
ability and experience in such matters. The churches may avail
themselves of the service of this ability and experience without
expense.
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF SPRINGFIELD
PKESIDENT, MR. JOHN A. DALE
CLEEK, MKS. ELMER T. OTTIKG TREASURER, REV. GARRETT V. STRYKER, D.D.
In co-operation with tlie Massachusetts Congregational Conference
and Missionary Society, the Congregational Union of Springfield super-
vises the home missionary work in Springfield.
All contributions for home missionary work in Massachusetts by
the churches of Springfield should be made to the Congregational
Union, and will be credited on the apportionment. In accordance
with the mutual agreement between the two organizations, ten per
cent of the contributions for current work received by the Union is
paid over to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society.
The Congregational Union of Springfield is incorporated under the
laws of Massachusetts and may receive bequests and hold property.
THE WORCESTER CITY MISSIONARY SOCIETY
PRESIDENT, MR. KARL F. WILSON
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, REV. MYRON W. FOWELL
RECORDING SECRETARY, REV. HOLLIS M. BARTLETT
TREASURER, MR. EBENEZER G. SEAL
The Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary So-
ciety, by agreement with the Worcester City Missionary Society, is
responsible for the financial assistance and the supervision of home
missionary churches in Worcester in their current work, while the
Worcester City Missionary Society represents the fellowship of the
Congregational churches of the city and is responsible for aiding
churches in property matters, contributing toward the purchase and
maintenance of property and the payment of building debts.
Contributions for home missions from the churches in Worcester,
to be credited on the apportionment, should be sent to the Massa-
chusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society. Con-
tributions for the local work, given in addition to the apportionment
and not to be credited as a part of it, should be sent to the treasurer
of the Worcester City Missionary Society.
GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CON-
GREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from
its privileges, the Conference encourages the establishment of regular
religious services, and, if possible, the organization of a church, or a
branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by
the vote of the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference,
and should have the approval of the Advisory or Missionary Commit-
tee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full
all financial obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost
toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different
amounts according to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each
field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the Presi-
dent or Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose
support an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation
shall lapse, except for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every
minister and worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denomi-
nations, the avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the
consolidation or federation of churches of different denominations in
over-churched communities.

REPORTS OF BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
It has been voted to omit from this volume the
Reports of Boards and Committees which were print-
ed in the Advance Reports and distributed before
the meeting in Brookline. Any person desiring a
copy of these Reports for fihng with the Minutes
may obtain it by writing to Secretary A. V. Bliss,
14 Beacon St., Boston.
STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council;
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are self-
evident. "W. C," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 1936. Admissions
and removals cover the year 1935. "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females"
and "total," but included in them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1936. or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained" denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i."; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r."; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by councU, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but mean "no report";
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" home department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk * indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year offers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male naembers from the total.

ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MINISTERS
This list gives the names of pastors, or acting pastors, and of all Congregational ministers
who are members of the Associations that guard ministerial standing.
Ministers who are not reported as having ministerial standing in this state, and who have not
been installed by council, are designated by a star (*). This does NOT mean that the man has
no ministerial standing.
The first column of figures gives the page on which names may be found of all in pastoral
service. A blank in the first column signifies that the person is not reported as being in pastoral
service in this state.
The second column of figures gives the page on which ministerial standing is recorded.
The post-office addresses as given below often differ from the places named in the tables, and
are supposed to be correct in this list.
An alphabetical list of licentiates follows this list.
SPECIAL NOTICE. — IF your name is not correctly printed in the preceding tables, IF
one Christian name is not given in full, IF your ordination is not correct or is not in its proper
place, IF your post-office is wrong, or IF before you receive the next Year-Book your post-office
is changed, or IF your name is omitted from this list, the needed change or correction should be
reported at once to the Rev. Alfred V. Bliss, Secretary of the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference and Missionary Society.

BY-LAWS OF THE

ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be
held to refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no
circumstances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere
with the government or disciphne of the churches. It shall advise and
counsel the churches when requested, but it is recognized that each church
has the power of self-determination in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which
our fathers confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression
in the historic creeds of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Each evangelical Congregational church in this
Commonwealth or Christian church that is a member of a Congrega-
tional-Christian Association of churches in Massachusetts may annu-
ally choose two delegates (of whom it is suggested one shall be a layman
and the other a laywoman), and these delegates, together with the pas-
tor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officio) the
officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of
Trustees and any person who shall have been elected an Officer
Emeritus) , the committee members of the Conference and those persons
who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life members of the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting membership of
the Conference ; it is provided, however, that pastors of churches to
qualify for the voting privilege shall be Congregational or Christian
60 By-Laws [1936
ministers having membership in Congregational or Congregational-
Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons
appointed to speak before the Conference, together with all persons here-
tofore constituted honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Mis-
sionary Society, such persons as may be made honorary members by a
vote of the Board of Trustees, and such other persons as the Conference
may from time to time vote to admit, shall be honorary members of the
Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without vote.
ARTICLE V

3. "The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees con-
sisting of one member from each Association of churches, six mem-
bers at large who shall be known for their special knowledge of
financial affairs of whom one shall be chosen each even numbered

1936] By-Laws 61
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference

MINUTES OF THE
138th ANNUAL MEETING of the MASSACHUSETTS
CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
MONDAY MORNING
The 138th Annual Meeting of the Conference was called
to order at 10.00 o'clock by the Moderator, Mr. Wilbur E.
Rowell of Lawrence.
The Service of Worship was conducted by the Chaplain
of the Conference, Rev. Howard J. Chidley of Winchester,
who indicated the "Marks of a Vital Church" as still the
same as those which rendered the tabernacles "amiable" in'
the heart of the Psalmist. In the church today, lonely hearts
find highest fellowship, both human and divine.
The Moderator announced the appointment of committees
as follows :
Business Committee — Mr. Roy A. Hovey, Chairman ; Rev. J. Harold
Dale, Rev. Clarence W. Dunham, Mrs. Ethelbert V. Grabill, Rev. Carl
H. Kopf, Mr. S. H. Thompson, Mr. Thomas Todd.
Credentials Committee — Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey, Rev. Arba J.
Marsh, Rev. John H. Sargent.
Deacons Appointed to Serve at the Communion Service Tuesday
Evening — Mr. Warren S. Woodward, Chairman ; Messrs. Edward B.
Cornell, Walter W. Grant, George M. Heath, Percy C. Judd, Royal T.
McCloughry, Raymond R. McCoy, John R. Peacock.
The Advance Reports of the Conference committees, which
had been sent by mail to pastors and delegates, were sub-
mitted for discussion as follows :
The report of the Committee on Religious Education was
presented by Rev. Harry T. Stock, Chairman. Sections of
the report were signed by the chairmen of the following sub-
committees : Children's Work, Miss Mildred Widber ; Young
People's Work, Rev. Leon E. Grubaugh, who is the Adult
Adviser of the Pilgrim Fellowship ; and Summer Conferences,
22 Minutes [1937
Rev. Raj Gibbons. Among major tasks for 1937-38 are the
development of the Pilgrim Fellowship, energetic promotion
of summer conferences, and systematic promotion of the Pil-
grim Highroad among joung people's groups of the state.
This report was accepted.
The reports of the Board of Ministerial Aid and the Com-
mittee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry were pre-
sented as printed, and accepted.
The report of the Committee on Moral and Social Welfare
was presented by the Chairman, Rev. Joseph C. MacDonald,
who stressed the importance of certain sections : those deal-
ing with the trend towards Fascism under the guise of patri-
otism ; the gambling peril ; and the multiform menace of the
liquor situation. The following recommendations, after
strenuous debate from the floor, were adopted:
1. To abolish the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission and to
leave the matter of granting and revoking all licenses for the sale of
alcoholic beverages to the local authorities.
2. To limit the number of licenses of all classes to not more than
one to every 1,000 of the population of each town and city.
<^f^--^J^^* 3, To forbid the granting of licenses of all classes to so-called
, ^j clubs organized for the purpose, wholly or chiefly, of selling alcoholic
^**^'^*^'*' beverages.
The Committee is also instructed to study the matter of
further restricting the hours of sale of alcoholic beverages
and to take any action in the matter which it may deem ad-
visable.
The report of the Woman's Department and the report of
the Boston Seaman's Friend Society were accepted.
The report of the Committee on Missions and Apportion-
ment was presented by the Chairman, Rev. Hugh Penney of
Lowell. It was recommended that the goal for apportion-
ment giving in 1937 be $350,000. This recommendation was
adopted.
It was recommended also that the apportionment giving
in 1938 be divided, unless otherwise designated by the donors,
according to the following schedule:
^
1937] Minutes 23
American Board 40.00%
Board of Home Missions 41.00%
Council for Social Action .... 2.50%
State Conference 15.50%
Boston Seaman's Friend Society . . 1.00%
100.00%
This recommendation was discussed quite at length and
the matter was referred to the Business Committee, It was
announced that a hearing would be held in the evening in one
of the rooms in the church.
The report of the Congregational Board of Pastoral Sup-
ply was accepted, after a few words from the Secretary,
Rev. Charles C. Merrill.
At 11.35 Rev. Frank Jennings, Secretary of the Massa-
chusetts Council of Churches, outlined areas where Protes-
tantism can do effective work by, and only by, co-operation.
United Protestantism now faces the most urgent social
exigencies.
After a brief recess, the Rev. Raymond Calkins of Cam-
bridge gave a masterly address on "The Dignity of Missions."
Missions can be rebuilt upon adequate foundations only on
the four basic Christian assumptions, implicit in the Feeding
of the Five Thousand :
1. The claim of Christ to be the Saviour of every person.
2. The common hunger of people for spiritual reality.
3. Human incompetency to meet the need which Jesus alone can
satisfy.
4. When disciples, under Christ, face their total tasks, meager sup-
plies become adequate resources.
MONDAY AFTERNOON
At 2.00 o'clock the Conference reassembled and the wor-
ship service was conducted by the Chaplain. His subject was
"God and a Vital Church."
The next business was the reports of officers of the Con-
ference. The first report was that of the President,
Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, who presented a comprehensive
24 Minutes [1937
forward-looking report, which may be found elsewhere in
these Minutes. He made a recommendation that the Confer-
ence make whole-hearted endorsement of the following reso-
lution, and at his request Rev. J. Burford Parry and Mr. El-
bert A. Harvey, addressed the Conference on this recom-
mendation, with the result that the Conference
Voted: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society endorse the recommendation of the Executive
Committee of the General Council that an effort be made by the de-
nomination to raise the sum of $1,500,000, to be used, principal and
interest, for the payment of a $500 annuity to our aged ministers, their
widows and orphans, who are not fully protected by the annuity plan.
The splendid services rendered to our churches by these brethren lays
upon us a moral obligation to protect them in their old age."
The report of the Secretary, Rev. Alfred V. Bliss, which
is printed elsewhere in these Minutes, was then presented to
the Conference, reviewing the year's work. A special feature
was the roll-call of Massachusetts ministers, each of whom
had been pastor of one Congregational church for more than
thirty years.
The Acting-Treasurer of the Conference, Mr. Arthur W.
Davis, at this point presented his report, which is printed
elsewhere.
Reference was inevitably made in all these reports to the
long years of wise and conscientious service rendered by the
late Treasurer, Rev. Oliver D. Sewall. See page 35.

Rev. Alexander McKenzie, Manager of the Pilgrim Press

Mr. McKenzie carried into the pulpit fifteen books, upon each
of which he made fresh, discerning comments. The books
were: "The Greek Way," Edith Hamilton; "Motive and
Method in a Christian Order," Stamp; "The Feast of
Quails," Chidley ; "Manual of Congregational and Christian
Churches," Burton ; "The Art of Living," Peale ; "A The-
ology for Christian Missions," White; "The Psychology of
Christian Personality," Ligon ; "Great Men of the Bible,"
Bowie; "Paradoxes of Jesus," Sockman; "A Chain of Pray-
ers Across the Ages," Emrich ; "The Business Administration
of a Church," Cushman ; "Discovering Jesus," Weston ; "We
Are Able," Weigle; "The Flowering of New England,"
Brooks ; "In the Steps of St. Paul," Morton.
Rev. A. Graham Baldwin, School Minister, Phillips An-^
dover Academy, spoke effectively upon what is central in all
1937] Minutes 27
religion : "The Idea of God." God is spirit, as Jesus insisted,
and the things of the spirit, like friendship and loyalty and
love, can never be weighed or measured. Religion has been
defined as the acceptance of the idea that "what is highest in
religion is deepest in nature."
At 4.20 a seminar was held by the Committee on Moral
and Social Welfare, Rev. Joseph C. MacDonald, Chairman,
presiding. Mrs. Royal Whiting commended the use of the
literature now being prepared by the Council for Social Ac-
tion. Special numbers of "Social Action," for example, have
been ordered in large quantities by groups and organizations
throughout the country.
Mrs. Margueritte Bro of the Council for Social Action in
the Chicago area, gave a vital and timely address. With
illustrations from many states, she spoke of new interest and
new life coming to churches, large and small, which under-
take to serve life as they find it in their immediate com-
munities.
At 6.00 o'clock there were four simultaneous supper con-
ferences :
Mr. Wilfrid H. Chapin presided at the conference held for
laymen at the First Congregational Church. Mr. Frank
Auchter of Springfield addressed the laymen present on "The
Layman and the Vital Church." The attendance was one
hundred eighty-five, ninety per cent of whom were men repre-
senting churches east of Worcester. There were four associ-
ations not represented: Barnstable, Berkshire South, Brook-
field and Worcester North.
There was a conference for the women, Mrs. E. V. Grabill,
presiding, at the Highland Church, at which two hundred
and sixty-seven women were present. The Annual Meeting
of the Woman's Department followed in the auditorium.
Mrs. Grabill reviewed the year's work, and after new direc-
tors and committees were elected and presented, she intro-
duced the new Chairman, Mrs. Robert P. Trask. One inter-
esting item reported by Mrs. Carver was the preparation
28 Minutes [1937
of supplies for parsonages, schools and hospitals, during the
year, valued at $13,352.
The young people met in the dining hall of All Souls
Church. There were two hundred forty-seven at the supper
and about twenty-five more came in for the program after the
supper. Mr. Stanley Maxwell, President of the Massachu-
setts Pilgrim Fellowship, presided and presented Rev. Leon
Grubaugh, who explained the purpose of the National Pil-
grim Fellowship. Mr. Maxwell gave the results of the survey
which had recently been made in our state. Mr. Porter Bower
of the Pilgrim Press spoke on the "Pilgrim Highroad," and
the new Pilgrim Fellowship binder. Rev. Ray Gibbons em-
phasized attendance at summer conferences. This was fol-
lowed by the main address of the evening by Mrs. Margueritte
Bro of the Council for Social Action. After this address the
group moved into the parish house to witness the play, "C'est
la Guerre," put on by the Peace Players of Maiden.
The ministers' supper conference. Dean Vaughan Dabney,
presiding, was held at the First Presbyterian Church, with
an address by President Albert W. Palmer on "The Minis-
try's New Day." President Palmer warned that the Totali-
tarian State is a religion rivalling Christianity today. It has
its sacred writings, its symbols, its messiahs, its pageants
and requirements for "church membership." It is a revival
of the Roman worship of the State. Wherever it comes to
power, Christianity is driven to the wall. Totalitarianism,
like other religions, has its denominations. They claim to
be different, but in reality Communism, Fascism, Naziism are
one religion : the worship of the State.
MONDAY EVENING
The service of worship was conducted by the Chaplain, who
read Hebrews 11 : 1-12, and led in prayer.
Music was furnished by the Eliot-Union Church choir, un-
der the direction of Mr. Fred Booth.
1937] Minutes 29
Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey presented the Necrology of the
Conference, giving brief items of interest in the life and work
of pastors and former pastors who have died during the past
twelve months.
A service of appreciation of Rev. Oliver D. Sewall, the late
Treasurer, who died March 16, 1937, was conducted by Rev.
Edward C. Camp of Watertown, who spoke with feeling and
discernment, and preceded his own remarks by reading an
appreciation written by Rev. Frederick H. Page, President
Emeritus, whose illness prevented his personal participation.
The work of the Board of Ministerial Aid was presented
by Rev. Austin Rice of Wakefield, for which an offering was
taken, amounting to $162.98.
An address was then given by President Albert W. Palmer
of the Chicago Theological Seminary, entitled "Walking
with God, Today." Preceding the address the choir sang,
appropriately, an anthem, "Oh for a Closer Walk with
God." President Palmer spoke with sincerity and simplicity.
He began by challenging our God-given imagination to pic-
ture to ourselves what walking with God meant for Enoch,
Micah and the two who walked toward Emmaus. He ended
with an appeal to walk with God today along those paths
where His ongoing purposes depend upon our co-operation.
The growing edge, so to speak, is that area in the world where
great social changes are already taking place.
TUESDAY MORNING
The session was opened by the Moderator at 9.00 o'clock.
On the recommendation of the Business Committee it was
VOTED: That the Conference notes with special gratitude the care-
ful preparation mads by the churches of Lowell for this meeting. No
need has been overlooked. We express our thanks especially to the
minister and people of Eliot-Union Church.
The Business Committee also reported that it carried out
the instructions of the Conference and forwarded the follow-
ing telegram to Dr. Page :

Society, in session at Eliot-Union Church, Lowell, sends love and best
wishes with prayers for a speedy and complete recovery."
The Business Committee reported on the matter of appor-
tionment percentages, previously referred to them, and upon
which a hearing had been held, and recommended that the
apportionment percentages for 1938 be as they were in 1937,
as follows :
American Board
Board of Home Missions .
Council for Social Action
State Work
Boston Seaman's Friend .
41.00%
42.50%
2.50%
13.00%
1.00%
100.00%
and that the State Conference Trustees be urged to take such
advance steps as are deemed necessary to accomplish the
work of the Conference. This recommendation was adopted.
A highly inspirational address was given by Prof. Edwin
P. Booth of Boston University, who spoke upon Evangelism
and the secret of the success of our outstanding evangelist,
Dwight L. Moody, from the standpoint of the Church His-
torian, under the title, "Tell no Story but Your Own."
Evangelism is limited to no type of theology or personality
or degree of education. It is effective, however, and effective
only, when one is able to speak of his own experience of God
in Christ.
Two important addresses were given by Rev. George W.
Owen of Hyde Park and Rev. Paul B. Myers of Mattapoisett,
upon the subject of "Children at Work in a Vital Church."
At Hyde Park, baptized children are accounted child mem-
bers of the church and brought once a year for reconsecra-
tion. Special work for and by the children makes them feel
that they are a vital part of the whole church. At Matta-
poisett, which is a smaller church with only two rooms, one
above and one below, Sunday School Departments meet at
different hours and in complete co-ordination with the church
worship service.
1937] Minutes 31
A very vital section of the Conference program was then
presented bj^ the Committee on Religious Education, under
the general title, "Young People at Work in a Vital Church."
Rev. Harry Thomas Stock, Young Poeple's Secretary of the
Congregational Education Society, spoke on the National
Pilgrim Fellowship and told of its beginning and growth.
Rev. Leon E. Grubaugh, Adult Adviser of the Massachusetts
Pilgrim Fellowship, spoke on the work in the state and urged
the co-operation of the churches in the special group meet-
ings which are being held. He also urged that churches reply
to the questions asked in the State Young People's Survey.
Rev. Ray Gibbons, Chairman of Summer Conferences,
stressed the importance of this growing phase of activity in
vital churches.
Mr. Roger Babson, Moderator of our General Council, was
discovered in the audience and introduced to the Conference
and spoke briefly on the importance of the Young People's
Work.
The session was closed by a service of worship by the
Chaplain, who spoke on the subject, "People and a Vital
Church." The main business of the ministry is the care of
souls. People are lonely and long for friendship, especially
those suffering from poverty and sickness and sorrow. In
many cases laymen and laywomen can do what the minister
himself cannot do in this service of all the people. In many
parishes, unfortunately, the only contact between church
and people is the appeal for money.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The session was resumed at 2.00 o'clock.
The matter of choosing the place for the next Annual
Meeting had been referred to the Business Committee, and
they reported their decision to accept the invitation of the
Edwards Church, Northampton, to hold the meeting there.
However, Rev. J. Frank Robinson of the Allin Church, Ded-
ham, urged that the meeting be held at his church, inasmuch
32 Minutes [1937
as they are planning to celebrate their 300th anniversary at
that time, and it was
VOTED: That the Allin Church, Dedham, be substituted for the
Edwards Church, Northampton, as the place of the next Annual
Meeting.
Inasmuch as Mr. Arthur E. Barlow of Worcester declined
to serve as a Trustee, the Nominating Committee presented
the name of Mr. Samuel H. Thompson of Lowell, Avho was
elected a Trustee-at-Large.
The Business Committee presented the following resolu-
tions, which had been submitted to them by Rev. Edward C.
Camp:
Whereas, a law was enacted by the legislature in 1936, requiring
the payment for transportation of pupils to private schools not run
for profit in whole or in part under certain conditions; and
Whereas, this law is held by a great number of people to be unconsti-
tutional in spirit and also in letter and a violation of the agreement
in the constitutional convention when this article was passed ; and
Whereas, it constitutes a violation of the fundamental principles of
entire separation of church and state ; and
Whereas, we freely and fully recognize the right of any citizen or
body of citizens to establish schools for the teaching of any system of
religious truths, provided no aid, direct or indirect, is given such
schools from the public funds; therefore
Be It Resolved: That this Massachusetts Congregational Confer-
ence and Missionary Society, representing over 600 Congregational
and Christian Churches with more than 170.000 members, the far
greater number of whom are of voting age, respectfully request and
urge that the Massachusetts Legislature pass House Bill No. 1218,
repealing the act of 1936 named above, at the beginning of its next
session in January, 1938, to which time this bill has been referred;
and further
Be It Resolved: That copies of these resolutions be sent to the Presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Senate and to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, respectively.
These resolutions were adopted.
Rev. Joseph L. McCorison of Braintree announced the
New England Institute of International Relations to be held
at Wellesley College, June 29 to July 9, 1937.
Mr. Rowell presented Rev. Clarence E. Hellens of Fall
River, the Moderator-elect, who spoke briefly.
The Chairman of ^'he Credentials Committee was author-
1937] Minutes 33
ized to complete the roll. This roll, as completed, is as
follows :
Number of churches represented:
By pastor only 83
By pastor and one delegate 73
By pastor and two delegates 100
Total churches 290
Individuals 574
Total net enrollment 605
The Recording Secretary, in co-operation with the staff,
was authorized to complete the Minutes.
Supt. Arthur J. Davis, representing the Massachusetts
Anti-Saloon League, spoke of the insidious, and, sadly
enough often unsuspected, encroachment of the liquor power
upon every vital interest of the church.
Rev. Henry C. McDowell, representing Negro Congre-
gationalists at Galangue, West Africa, presented phases of
African tribal life which, sympathetically understood, afford
opportunity to preach Christ both as interpreter and "fin-
isher" of Africa's higher faith. We may call them primi-
tives, as compared with our present civilization, if we humbly
and penitently remember that we of this present civilization
are ourselves primitives, as compared with the New Age that
ought to come.
At 3.00 o'clock Rev. Hugh Vernon White spoke on the
topic : "God Still Loves the World." This topic, he said, is
contrary to the prevailing nationalisms of the time, political,
economic, and now even religious. A world of men and not
of nations must be the object of our love if our love is to be
like God's. The love of God is passionate and particular.
Christianity, almost alone, stands for the worth and dignity
of the person.
At 4.30, under the auspices of the Andover Women's Dis-
trict, a pageant, "Sealed Orders," was given in St. Anne's
Church, under the direction of Mrs. Nathan Pulsifer of
34 Minutes [1937
Lowell, presenting in dramatic form certain phases of Con-
gregational work in Massachusetts.
A Fellowship Supper at 6.00 o'clock was enjoyed in spa-
cious and beautiful Memorial Hall in the City Library Build-
ing. President Timberlake made various introductions, in-
cluding a number of newcomers to Massachusetts pulpits.
Rev. Ewart Turner, for four years pastor of the American
Church in Berlin, spoke on conditions in Germany today. As
Americans, he said, we are concerned. Historically, Ger-
many has been almost revered as the fountain head of our
Protestant faith, and for many college generations, almost
idealized as the seat of free and untrammeled learning.
The Moderator announced that at the close of the evening
service, this 138th Annual Meeting Avould stand adjourned.
At the evening service held in First Congregational Church,
music was furnished by the First Congregational Church
Choir, and the Chaplain read the Scripture lesson and offered
prayer.
The Conference sermon was preached by Rev. Ralph Sock-
man of Christ Church (Methodist Episcopal) of New York
City. His sermon pictured Christ as both Prince and Pio-
neer. We need Christ in His regal power. We need the more
enduring power that follows service. One illustration, of
many, may be set down here. Safe progress can be made only
on condition that we keep remembering what is behind us
historically. We need to look back, however, as a motorist
does, who can see what is behind him while keeping his eye on
the road ahead.
The Chaplain, assisted by Rev. Hugh Penney, administered
the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, after which the meeting
stood adjourned.
Alfred V. Bliss, Secretary.
William Boicoukt, Recording Secretary.
IN APPRECIATION OF REV. OLIVER D. SEWALL
By Rev. Frederick Harlan Page
The Congregational Churches of the Commonwealth have suffei'ed
a great loss in the death of Dr. Sewall. His illness came so suddenly,
and was so brief, that it has been difficult for many to realize that his
friendly face will be seen at the Conference office no more. To his
associates of the Conference Staff, however, the shock of his sudden
departure has deepened into affliction which follows upon personal
bereavement. At first when his desk was closed it seemed as if he
might be out on one of his many errands among the churches, and
would be back in the morning ; and when it was open, it was as if he
would return at the close of some committee meeting. It is good for
us all that the soul finds comfort in the thought of the life to which
he has gone, and that our Heavenly Father is "not a God of the dead,
but a God of the living," as Jesus said.
It is easy to utter a casual remark that Dr. Sewall had lived to a
good age, for he had passed the mark of three score and ten by two
years. His retirement would have come a year from this time. But
he was not old in any sense of the word. The driving-wheel of his
daily accomplishments had not slackened.
He passed through three stages in his career as Treasurer. He was
called at first to the treasurership of the Massachusetts Home Mis-
sionary Society when its operations were still almost entirely of a
missionary character and when its funds, and its collections from
the churches, were relatively small. Within two .or three years a
great change happened. By the legacy of Deacon Stone of North
Andover, the Society received nearly a million dollars. It did, in fact,
become a million dollars by good investment a little later on. This
great gift I'econstituted the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society
eventually. It threw a great and happy burden upon the Treasurer,
in the investment and care of so much additional income, amounting
at times to more than the total receipts from the churches. It led
also to the movement for enlarged service to the churches, which re-
sulted in 1928 in the consolidation of the Massachusetts Home Mis-
sionary Society and the Massachusetts Congregational Conference.
The Treasurer's duties increased by leaps and bounds, and his ad-
visory character in all the general policies of the enlarg-ed organi-
zation gave great significance to his services. A still further develop-
ment in the enlargement of the functions of the Treasurer came to
Dr. Sewall when the churches began to learn that under the new
charter of the consolidated organization it was possible for them to
36 In Appreciation [1937
place their own investecT funds in the care of the Conference. While
at first slow to perceive the advantages which this gave to them, in-
vestment committees of the local churches began to awake to the
great relief which this afforded them. Here was security and expert
investment knowledge freely at their disposal. The result was a very
large commitment of the church funds to the Conference — a move-
ment which was increasingly appreciated as the severities of the de-
pression bore down upon local treasurers.
Had Dr. Sewall failed at any point in this on-going movement
affecting his department, as many a man might, who had come at first
into a much smaller service, it would have been most unfortunate.
But he grew with the growth of the Conference and of its treasury
operations. It might be fairly said of him that no more could have
been expected had he been brought up in a banking house instead of
spending the larger part of his life — over thirty years — in the
pastorate.
It has been said that where a cleryman having natural business
abilities is called in later life to an executive career, he is apt to be-
come a first-class business man ; and he brings to the exercise of his
business capacity the kindness and grace and patience which has
been acquired in the pastoral ministry. Certainly this was true of
Dr. Sewall. He was a tireless worker, for no one tired him. He was
a wonderful listener, and his prime motive of helpfulness surmounted
many seeming impossibilities in situations which brought confusion
and dejection to many who came, with their difficult problems, to his
desk. A flowing fund of humor acted like the oil of joy to his mental
machinery. It has reminded me of the spring which I know on a
seashore in the State of Maine. When the tide is low, the spring can
be seen and heard bubbling away ; but when the great waters sweep
in with a mighty tide, you can neither see it nor hear it. The great
weight of waters subdues it into silence, but it is still flowing, and as
soon as the tide gets down again, there is the quiet murmuring of
fresh and clear waters as if for much of the day there had been no
heavy pressure of the ocean upon them.
Because Dr. Sewall placed no limit on his own willingness to serve
the Conference, and in view of his seemingly inexhaustible vitality
he continued to go among the churches, as invitations came, for
preaching services and for anniversaries and other occasional ad-
dresses, but most of all to assist church committees in ecclesiastical
business problems which confronted them. His handling, in particu-
lar, of the special problems arising from the Metropolitan water de-
velopment, among the Swift River Valley churches, was notable.
Natu.v^'lly here, as in all his treasury operations, he had invaluable
1937] In Appreciation 37
assistance from the Finance Committee of the Conference and from
other members of the Staff, and from the legal counsel of the Confer-
ence. But he had those fine traits of character, not always in the
possession of executives, which enabled him to receive and to give in
the most effective interchange of co-operative wisdom. To have all
this in an unaffected demeanor of modesty is to be gifted indeed.
Dr. Sewall would have been the last man to claim for himself distinc-
tion of character. He would have said that such traits as he pos-
sessed were common enough, and that most men had them ; and this
is quite true. It was in his possession of so many of the finest common
traits with which men are endowed and in his exercise of them in a
rare combination that we see his distinction.
Dr. Sewall would have said that he had no outside interests, and
this is true. All kinds of enterprises, were they ecclesiastical or social,
\vhich aimed to minister to people at a disadvantage were vital con-
cerns in his life. In this way he became interested in the Good Will
House — a social settlement in East Boston for the benefit of Italian
immigrants, and later for such Italians as were glad to avail them-
selves of the gracious hand and spirit of this organization. From
being a Director, he naturally became President of this corporation,
and it was under his administration that the work of this social settle-
ment attracted the great gifts which later on magnified its ministry
in East Boston.
When the administration of the Massachusetts Board of Ministerial
Aid passed from Dr. Emrich's hands to Secretary Covell, and later
when it was necessary to choose a new administrator because of
Secretary Covell's sickness, the Board of Trustees were at their wits'
end to secure one having the peculiar faculty required in the wise
and kind ministration of funds to those aged and infirm Congrega-
tional ministers in Massachusetts who needed assistance. I shall not
forget that Board meeting, when at length the question of a successor
came up. Various names were discussed and found lacking in some
point or other — health, or time, or knowledge of the ministry. At
length, after a period of siience, the Directors looked all around the
room and up to the ceiling and out of the window, and then with one
consent looked pointedly at Dr. Sewall, whereupon, seeing what was
inevitable, he consented to take the otfice. And after being duly and
hastily elected, he remarked, in his unfailing humor, "Now, brothers,
I want you to appoint a committee to notify my wife of what you
have done."
There is a folk-lore story of a certain people trying to represent
the spiritual life of the hereafter in terms that comfort our material
senses, that whenever a good man dies who is greatly esteemed for
38 In Appreciation [1937
his leadership and attainments, his kindred and friends and neighbors
vvlio have gone into the next world before him come down to a high
hill within sight of the cemetery, and there they wait in silence until
the friends have fulfilled the last ministry in the burial of the dead.
As soon as the burial place is deserted, they all come down from the
hilltop to the grave, and with joy and rejoicing and all the manifesta-
tions of welcome, take him with them to the Celestial City. The
spiritual truth which this means to represent gives us great comfort.
We cannot know what so active a spirit as that of Dr. Sewall may be
doing in his new life, but surely he who was developing up to the last
day when he was parted from us will in that new country, our real
home, continue to grow and to serve and to give and receive the
ministries of friendship and affection. One cannot think of him there
without thinking of Dr. and Mrs. Emrich, who esteemed him so highly,
and of John Walker, with whom he was -so intimate, and of Henry K.
Hyde, who had so much to do, as a trustee with his early attainments
as Treasurer. Surely life in the blessed Community means friendship
again and all its joys, because whatever of the dear hopes of life we
cherish for the life to come, of friendship we may be sure that it will
survive.
He did not say good-bye, for he had no thought of being sick when
he closed down his desk for the last time.
In all Dr. Sewall's earlier years there was loneliness, tempered by
his fondness for his parishioners and their children. His marriage
brought him happiness, opened the door into the life of the coming
generation, which he found as charming as it is bewildering. It
stirred his humor, and awakened his devotion. Is not this the very
best reaction?
So we see the man, do we not, who went in and out before us? He
seemed as dependable as a bridge which carries a great traffic, when
in an unexpected flood it is swept away. But the bridge was not the
man. It is only one symbol, affording us a beautiful memory of his
character. The man himself is a spirit, and during all the years of
his life he has been building a nobler symbol — a holy temple to the
Lord, — what St. Paul calls "a house not built with hands, eternal in
the heavens." In this temple we who have known him have always
found high above all other traits the spirit of service, brotherliness
and hope.
Our best tribute to him is not in our words : rather it is in our
consecration to the upbuilding of that same holy temple to the Lord.
We pledge ourselves anew in his memory to this supreme task for
us all.
[We tried, but it was impossible to secure a copy of Rev. Mr. Camp's
Eulogy.]
THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Neither ito this occasion nor to my own feelings would I be true
did I not preface this report with a brief tribute to my late co-worker.
Oliver D. Sewali has been held in high regard and will be greatly
missed by his fellow-members of the Staff. To us he was the senior
member. In our Staff meetings his long acquaintance with the work
of the office, — 'With the policy of the Conference, the records of minis-
ters, the history of churches and the details of administration, — gave
sympathy to his approach to all problems, candor to his appraisal,
wisdom to his advice and authority to his judgment. In Room 611 he
was not only Treasurer of the Conference, he was the OfBce Manager, —
the personification of Industi'y, Friendliness and Understanding.
Of course, we knew the time of his retirement was not a great way
off. We were apprehensive of that event, but we were totally unpre-
pared for and left confused by the sudden report that his illness was
actually serious. None better realize than we, who shared with him
the executive responsibilities, what a loss the churches and pastors
of the Conference sustained when Dr. Sewali was called unto the
reward of the Faithful Steward.
That the financial affairs of the Conference have suffered no impair-
ment in this critical situation is due in large measure to the immediate
rallying of the Finance Committee of the Trustees, with the Chairman
of the Board, Thomas Todd, and our honored President Emeritus,
Dr. Page, to the assistance of the Treasury. Particular gratitude is
due Trustee Arthur W. Davis, for his willingness to assume immedi-
ately the office of Acting-Treasurer, along with his regular business
cares, until a successor should be appointed to complete Dr. Sewall's
term. Mr. Davis put fully half his time at the disposal of the
Conference.
The Treasurer
In the early deliberations concerning the selection of a new Treas-
urer, the opinion was widely expressed that he should be a man who
had had some business training and experience. It was conceded, too,
that he would need to have a religious background and a church
interest. The responsibility of making the nomination was given to
the Finance Committee of the Board, of which Mr. Roy E. Hovey of
"Wakefield, is Chairman. Upon their recommendation the Trustees,
as provided by our By-laws, have appointed to fill the vacancy on the
Staff until this meeting, Mr. Myi'on S. Burton. They are also nominat-
ing him to the office of Treasurer of the Conference for next year.
40 Report of the President [1937
Mr. Burton is a son of Dr. Charles E. Burton, Secretary of the
General Council. Myron Burton is an Alumnus of Carleton College.
He has had graduate work in Business at the University of Minnesota.
In 1930 he received appointment by the American Board as Business
Manager of the Fenchow Hospital in China. In 1936 he returned for
his first furlough, and this year was granted an extra year for study
at Chicago University. We rejoice that the oppoi'tunity of applying
his business experience and training in behalf of the Congregational
Churches of Massachusetts and under the auspices of the Massa-
chusetts Conference and Missionary Society, has for him and Mrs. Bur-
ton an appeal stronger than the romance of service in China.
Annuity Fund Membership
One of my last conversations at Dr. Sewall's desk was regarding a
dream he had for the benefit of the younger men of the Conference.
He wanted to help them join the Annuity Fund. The Conference now
gives to the ministers of the State on small salaries assistance in pay-
ing the first premium as members of the Annuity Fund. We only
help with the first premium because the Pilgrim Memorial Fund gives
assistance with the later premiums, but not with the first one.
Beneficial as this is it does nothing for the younger ministers whose
salaries are over $1,700 when they join the Annuity Fund. Dr. Sewall
wished to help these men also. There were something like 120 of
them in the State last year, but only eight of them became members
of the Annuity. Dr. Sewall's plan was to raise a Fund of $100,000,
the income of which would be used annually to pay dn |Whole or
in part the first premium of all ministers entering the Annuity. Some
day I hope we can establish in Massachusetts such a Fund as a
Memorial to Dr. Sewall.
"Debt of Honor" Fund
However, for the time being, another and a more pressing need is
before us. A great objective has been set before our Conference, of
which Dr. Sewall was unaware. This is the "Debt of Honor Fund"
proposed by the Executive Committee of the General Council.
I have been speaking above of membership in the "Expanded Plan"
of the Annuity Fund. Before this "Expanded" and self-sustaining
plan came into being, — there was what is called the "Original Plan"
Annuity. Many of our older ministers joined this plan and are de-
pendent upon it now. The maximum Annuity was to be $500. This
annual amount could be received by a retired minister in return for
the membership dues over a period of years paid by himself, with a
1937] Report of the President 41
contribution from the Pilgrim Memorial Fund, and with a percentage
paid by the churches from the Apportionment.
During the earlier years, when many ministers were in active service
and paying in their premiums, no money was set aside from the Ap-
portionment as the churches' share toward the future payments on
Annuities. The entire Apportionment contributions were devoted to
other causes that seemed more urgent at the time.
Now these older men are reaching retirement age. Their Annui-
ties are becoming due. For the next several years an increasing amount
will have to be taken from the Apportionment if they are to receive the
full amount of their Annuities. Tliis very year, our Conference is
asked to make an additional payment of $2,000 from our Apportion-
ment receipts to meet this moral obligation of the churches. A greater
amount will be needed in subsequent years. And this can only be
done at the expense of the Missionary Work of the Church.
It is now proposed that the financing of the Church's share of the
Original Plan Annuities be cared for without taking money from the
Apportionment. This is to be done by the raising of a Debt of Honor
Fund. The members of our churches will be asked to provide a spe-
cial fund, by three-year pledges, to make good our word to more than
1,300 ministers, widows and children. The amount required to meet
the churches' share of the remaining Original Plan Annuities is
$1,517,000.
The Executive Committee of the General Council, with the backing
of the American Board and'the Board of Home Missions has inaugu-
rated this Plan and submits it to the State Conferences with the
earnest hope that they will give it their hearty approval. May I pro-
pose that the Churches of Massachusetts acclaim this plan as having
their whole-hearted support in discharging completely and magnani-
mously a Debt of Honor to the Veterans of the Cross.
The Per Capita
Another concern of Dr. Sewall was the irregular payment by the
Associations of the Per Capita. It would rejoice his heart to know
that this year the income from the Per Capita is greater than for
several years past. All too few of our church members and officials
realize that their church belongs to a great nation-wide denomination,
which has a vital contribution to make to the welfare of the nation, —
that the Association, the State Conference and the General Council
are worthy of the loyal support of every Congregational Church in
the Commonwealth. There has recently been published a leaflet on
the Per Capita, — a plain and interesting statement of its need and
purpose. Sample copies will be found on the "Pilgrim News" table
42 Report of the President [1937
In the Vestry- Pastors are invited to order enough of these to dis-
tribute among their church officials.
Stewardship
A return for our Per Capita payments has come recently to Massa-
chusetts in the visit, at our invitation, of Dr. Warren H. Denison,
Assistant Secretary of the General Council. We v\^ere able to arrange
for him to speak before Churches, Associations and Conference Groups
upon the theme of "Christian Stewardship." Dr. Denison was re-
ceived with sincere appreciation wherever he spoke, because he gave
a timely emphasis to a neglected element in our Christian living. The
spirit of Stewardship is essential to the progress of the Church.
Therein lies a secret of vitality and power. It is the one key to the
problem of church finance, and alone can offset the increasing tend-
ency to adopt gambling practices in raising money for church sup-
port. My regret is that more of our churches, and church officials,
did not have the opportunity of hearing Dr. Denison's message. He
has promised to make another visit soon, and I shall be glad to make
reservations for his time.
A second important contribution of the General Council to our
churches is Dr. Burton's Manual. Here is a compendium of Congre-
gational usages, forms, procedures that is worth many times its cost.
Every pastor should have one on his desk, especially if he has recently
joined our fellowship. Each church ought to buy one for the use of
the Clerk, the Executive Committee or the Deacons.
Missionary Promotion
The members of the Conference will be glad to know that the Ap-
portionment receipts from the churches during the fiirst four months
of 1937 have shown a steady increase, month by month, over the
receipts during the same period in 1936. Of course, this is not con-
clusive proof that the Missionary giving of the whole year will be
better than last, but it is the most hopeful sign we have seen for many
a day.
The promotional plans which Ave shall follow in Massachusetts in
co-operaton with the Missions Council, include several interesting
features. The Missions Council has reopened at the Congregational
House the New England Regional Office. In charge of this office will
be the new Assistant Secretary of Promotion, the Rev. James E.
Walter, recently pastor at Orange, Conn. We heartily welcome
Mr. Walter to Massachusetts and to his new position. Our best wish
is that he will find our Churches, Associations and the Conference
making many demands upon his leadership.
1937] Report of the President 43
Speakers
In keeping with the general policy of promotion your state office
will endeavor to make it possible for every chui'ch in the State to have
during the next two years at least one visiting speaker representing
the Board of Home Missions and one speaker representing the For-
eign Work. This will require a change in our method of assigning
speakers to chui'ches and church groups. At present it is our custom
to provide speakers upon request, — and the church that asks for the
most gets the most. Mrs. Carver, who has charge of this important
department, informs me that since January, 1936, she hag made over
eleven hundred appointments for 275 churches, — an average of four
missionary speakers in each of those churches. But 300 of our
churches had no speakers at all. This, while there were five churches
that each had twenty or more guest speakers from the Boards or the
Conference. In the interest of Missionary promotion our office has
endeavored to supply as completely as possible every request for assist-
ance. It would seem that some organizations and churches have had
the advantage of the free service of our Speakers' Bureau in setting
up their programs, to the disadvantage of a general service to all
churches.
How can this condition be I'emedied ? We have no desire to refuse
any legitimate request for a speaker. We want to supply the needs of
every chui'ch. In order to create Missionary interest and to provide
adequate information there is undoubtedly a place for a voice from
the field, but my own experience leads me to believe that the surest
foundation for Missionary enthusiasm is personal effort and study.
In order, therefore, that our office may more evenly distribute the
available speakers, may I ask the pastors and women's organizations
that have been depending so completely upon our bureau, to volun-
tarily undertake to do more for themselves in the way of research,
study, reading and speaking, — and encourage their members to do the
same. And do this not alone to release speakers for other appoint-
ments in neglected areas, but more particularly for your own real
advantage. Instead of doing the easy thing of coming to Mrs. Carver's
desk whenever a missionary program is to be provided, or a series of
meetings arranged for, do the harder thing, — yet the more profitable,
more adventurous and more thrillingly creative, — depend upon your-
self. In setting up our State-wide program I plead for the consider-
ation and co-operation of the 82 churches that had during the past
15 months on the average of no less than 13 missionary speakers each.
Two other features of our promotional program will be, first, a
series of regional conferences similar to those held last year for minis-
ters and for laymen, — meeting in small groups to think through to-
44 Report of the President [1937
gether the question as to whether Christianity has a vital and saving
message for our age, and how that message can best be proclaimed.
Also this year we wish to offer again to individual churches the
advantages of the "Church Officers' Visitation" plan, — the "C. O. V.,"
when your executive officer and a Mission Board representative will
sit down with church officials to solve together some of the problems
of the church.
Ministers' Days
As indicated in the report of the Committee on Polity and Standards
for the Ministry, that committee is co-operating with the State office
in planning two series of "Ministers' Days" covering a period of
several weeks beginning in October. These will take the place of the
"Convocation."
Last year Andover-Newton Seminary offered on the Tuesdays of
fifteen consecutive weeks three Seminar Courses especially adapted
to pastors in the field. Our plan is to help pay the expense of Congre-
gational ministers in the eastern part of the state who wish to avail
themselves of this opportunity for study next season.
We are now also arranging for ministers in the Western area, a
similar Pastors' Day for ten weeks in Springfield. Dean Weigle of
Yale has agreed to co-operate in providing one course, and through
the auspices of Andover-Newton we are to have the assistance of
Dr. Cabot in a Seminar on "The Art of Ministering to the Sick." Fuller
announcement of these Courses will be given as the program develops.
Our sincere effort will be to make the money, set aside in the Confer-
ence budget for Convocations, yield the greatest assistance possible to
all our pastors, by these practical and intensive courses of study.
Preaching Missions
The PrQgram of the Parish Preaching Mission has been progressing
quietly and effectively. An excellent preparation for the year was
made at the Retreat which we sponsored for Missioners and Pastors in
September at Andover-Newton. Additional impetus was given our
work by the National Preaching Mission in Boston in December. Our
churches were well represented, and they have since in many com-
munities entered into a program of an inter-denominational Mission.
The Conference is indebted to the Woman's Department for their
faithful and painstaking labor in arranging for the entertainment of
Congregational Ministers during the Boston meeting.
We have the records of about thirty-five Parish Preaching Missions
held during the year, and know of several being planned for next Fall
and Winter. It is none too early to begin arrangements for securing
a Missioner, and to set aside a definite time in the church year. Again
1937] Report of the President 45
this Fall we shall arrange for a "Retreat" and exi>ect to have in it the
assistance of President Albert W. Palmer of Chicago.
Your Preaching Mission Committee has assisted the President in
summing up the thought and work of the year in a leaflet entitled
"The Preaching Mission, — What it is ; How to Prepare for it ; Its
Major Objectives ; Conserving Its Results." Rev. Harry Kimball and
Rev. Ralph Rogers did the major work in its compilation and editing.
We believe it will have lasting value in encouraging and guiding
pastors and church officials in the use of this form of "dignified, in-
formed, intelligent Evangelism."
One cannot immediately and completely appraise the results of a
Parish Preaching Mission, yet judging from the sincere comments and
expressions of appreciation from both Missioners and Pastors I feel
that there is no service to the churches that lies within my responsi-
bility which is more important. The Missioners who have freely
given their time and energy to this call have truly been doing "the
work of an Evangelist." They have our sincere gratitude for their
valuable contribution to the spiritual life of the churches of the state.
Laymen's Movement
From the usual attendance at Association Meetings one would won-
der if laymen were interested in the Church — or if there were any
laymen in our churches. But in working with our Laymen's Commit-
tee,— with a response that Avould seem to indicate that they count me
as one of themselves, we have discovered some facts about our men.
In a series of five regional meetings for Laymen held across the State
we learned that there are many interested, capable, devoted men,
anxious for the future of the Church. These meetings were held in
Lawrence, Middleboro, Framingham, West Springfield and Housa-
tonic. Three of these were general discussions of Men's Work in
the Church and two meetings were specifically for Deacons.
Dr. Frederick L. Fagley assisted most helpfully in these, as also in a
series of three Lenten Conferences for Ministers in South Hadley
Falls, Shelburne Falls and Lee. This experiment in Laymen's Con-
ferences will result in a large attendance of men at this Annual Meet-
ing, and during the coming year in a more extensive use of conferences
for laymen, with a moie intensive consideration of the relationship
of the Layman and the Church.
"Pilgrim State News"
Another experiment that seems to be proving its worth is the publica-
tion of the Pilgrim State Neios in conjunction with the Missions'
Council as a monthly periodical upon a subscription basis. Here again
46 Report of the President [1937
our success is due to the assistance of the Woman's Department in
securing subscriptions, — but especially to Rev. Raymond Blakney, the
able Chairman of the Editorial Boai-d, also to Mrs. Allbright who has
served as Business Manager. We think the Isfews speaks for itself,
particularly the current May issue. Will you heed its appeal for your
quarter as you pass the News stand in the vestry. Lret me suggest
that churches might well vote from their budgets enough money to
place the Pilgrim State News in every home of the church member-
ship. This would be for church interest a profitable investment!
Then let us have the news of your activities and achievements.
"Room 611"
Tour President is becoming aware of his growth in this office by the
increase of his correspondence and in the number and the importance
of his interviews. When all goes well in a church, natui'ally not much
is said about it. But once some problem arises, word seems to come
.directly to our ofiice. That is as it should be and demonstrates the
value of the relationship between the Conference and the Churches.
The assistance we gave the Board of Pastoral Supply during Dr. Mer-
rill's absence from the office and the passing of Dr. Sewall, enlarged
our sphere of activity. Under these circumstances, the co-operative
and devoted spirit of the whole staff has been a remarkable and happy
experience. Secretary Bliss will himself report regarding his par-
ticular field.
A full year of service by the Field Secretary in the Western Associ-
ations has further proved the value of this type of work by the Staif
and the wisdom of the choice of George Tuttle for this position. He
has promoted in that area similar programs and plans to those car-
ried on through the rest of the State, applying himself particularly to
the problems of the aided churches and the yoked-fields. My hope is
that before long other areas of the state may receive the benefit of
similar intimate and constant counsel. This should be the trend of
our staff organization.
May I add a word of appreciation from myself, the Staff and the
Conference to those members of the Board of Trustees whose terms
expire with this meeting. Thomas Todd of Concord has represented
the Middlesex Union Association. He has served for four years on
the Finance Committee and for the past twelve months has been the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Mrs. Ambert G. Moody of North-
field, representing Franklin Association, has given four years of
service on the Aided Church Committee. Mrs. Kenneth W. Forman
of Danvers, representing the Essex South Association, has been on the
Missionary Committee and lately on the Aided Church Committee.
1937] Report of the President 47
Mr. Edward W. Sherman of New Bedford, nominated by the Old
Colony Association, found his place on the Finance Committee. Rev.
Theodore Bacheler of South Hadley Falls, came from the Hampden
Association. This year he was Chairman of the General Conference
Committee and was formerly a member of the Appraisal Committee.
Rev. Paul G. Macy of Worcester was sent by the Worcester Central
Association, and served on the Missionary Committee.
Mention should also be made of the leading part which Mr. Macy
has taken in the notable achievement of a consolidation of Congre-
gationalism in Worcester, — the uniting of the three churches. Pilgrim,
Piedmont and Union, — in the Chestnut Street Church. Although this
has meant the withdrawal of both Mr. Macy and Mr. Beach from the
leadership of the united congregation, — as is seemingly the necessity
in such reorganizations, — that does not detract from the accomplish-
ment but rather enhances it, for these three congregations in Worces-
ter have performed what might well be called the feat of the year In
our Conference, and have given to other communities an example of
what can take place, when the people are so minded, in the unification
of Protestantism in our changing society. Our earnest hope is that at
Chestnut Street the union of spirit and purpose may reach complete
consummation. This would bring the greatest joy to Mr. and
Mrs. Macy.
A week ago today our President Emeritus underwent an operation
for the removal of a cataract from his right eye. The operation has
so far been eminently successful and Dr. Page expects to return to his
home tomorrow with the keen anticipation of being able once more to
see the faces of his friends and once again to read his Bible. While
your prayers, I know, will be that he may fully realize his heart's
desire, let me conclude with tlie suggestion that the Conference send
to Dr. Page a message of remembrance and affection.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CON-
FERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
There is a spirit of adventure, new every Sunday and fresh every
week, in visiting the churches of this commonwealth. No two churches
are alike. They face different opportunities, are set in different situ-
ations, are composed of different people. Some are in cities, some in
towns and rural communities. Forty use languages that remind one
of that day of Pentecost when they spoke "with other tongues as the
spirit gave them utterance." Since the last Annual Meeting in May,
1936, as Secretary of the Conference, on Sundays and week days, I
have made 138 official visits to the churches of the Conference, not
counting the numerous conferences with church officials in the office
at 14 Beacon Street. Of these 138 visits, 40 were at foreign-speaking
churches and missions, 51 city churches, and 47 rural churches. Among
these visits there may be 7 or 8 duplicates, that is, 2 or more visits to
the same church because of special need.
Of all our 617 churches in this commonwealth, Holyoke, Second,
with 1,958 members, heads the list as the largest in membership. The
largest Church School is in Dorchester, Second Church, with 1,021
members.
The longest pastorate still active, is held by Rev. Andrew Groop,
who has been the faithful and beloved minister of the Finnish Church
in Fitchburg, since 1895, a period of 42 years. Rev. Charles S. Holton
has been at Newbury for 40 years. Rev. J. Lee Mitchell at Attleboro,
Second, for 36 years ; Rev. T. Nelson Baker at Pittsfleld, Second, for
36 years ; Rev. Edwin B. Robinson at Holyoke, Grace, for 35 years ;
Rev. J. Harold Dale at Billerica for 34 years. Rev. Arthur G. Cum-
mings at Middleboro, First, for 32 years ; Rev. Charles A. Bidwell at
Belmont, and Rev. Edward C. Camp at Watertown for 31 years, and
Rev. H. E. Thygeson at East Falmouth and Rev. Austin Rice at
Wakefield for 30 years. All these make a noble record, of which we
are proud, and for which we thank God.
The longest ministerial career, still in active service, so far as I
know, is that of Rev. Albert F. Pierce, now serving the church at
Revere, Point of Pines. Dr. Pierce began his ministry in 1869 at
Bridgton, N. J., and was ordained in 1871.
One different, but long and useful career worthy of record, is that
1937] Report of the Secretary , 49
of Mr. Edward Brown, who has been the sexton of our church in Marl-
boro for 61 years.
The church having the largest additions on confession is Dedhani.
Alliu, with 85. There were 118 churches with no additions. The
largest giving to denominational missions was made by Boston, Old
South, with $13,041. The next in order of giving are Dalton, Brook-
line, Harvard, Cambridge, First ; Pittsfield, First, and Worcester,
Old South.
Realizing that the forces of evil are too strong for a divided Protes-
tant Church, the trend today is toward closer co-operation. The de-
nominational differences mean very little, if anything at all, to the
young people, and they cannot see why people in the community should
walk and work and play together from Monday until Saturday night,
and then on Sunday, divide up into small groups and some go this
way to a church and others go that way to another church. During
1936 the Congregational church at Dover and the Unitarian church
there agreed to hold union services indefinitely, with one minister.
Rev. William B. Rice, one church ser\ace, one church school, one
young people's group, one young people's choir, and so forth. It works
well and the people are happy. Neither denomination surrenders to
the other and neither denomination has a copyright on its own dis-
tinctive ideas.
A notable achievement is the coming together into one united church,
of the Plymouth, Piedmont and Union Churches in Worcester, under
the leadership of Rev. Paul Macy and Rev. Joseph Beach, assimiing the
new name of Chestnut Street Church.
The church at West Yarmouth, on Cape Cod, to which we used to
make a grant of $175 a year, is now served by Rev. Carl Schultz of
Hyannis, without extra remuneration ; and Yarmouth, which was
yoked with West Yarmouth under Rev. Allan Burtt. is now served
happily and effectively by Mr. Malcolm Matheson, being yoked with
South Dennis. This was brought about largely through the helpful
leadership of our Minister-at-Large, Rev. J. B. Lyman.
By a rearrangement of our Armenian work, made necessary by the
removal to California and to New Jersey of two of our ablest
Armenian ministers. Rev. Kapriel Bedrosian of Worcester and Rev.
A. K. Yeramian of Chelsea, the entire Armenian work is carried on
now with a saving of $1,842 in grants from the Conference.
The Swedish Church in Fitchburg, to which we used to make a grant
of $240, is no longer the Swedish Church, but the Pilgrim Church of
Fitchburg, using English altogether and receiving only spiritual aid
from the Conference and all the blessings we can command.
This consolidating of Protestant forces is bound to go ahead, but it
50 Report of the Secretary [1937
must be under wise leadership. All the permanent Talues of the several
groups must be conserved. Freedom of thought and vv^orship must be
maintained. The emphasis must be concentrated on commitment to
the service of our Lord Christ, in a life built on a fundamental con-
viction as to God and the Chrisitian life purpose. Your President and
Secretary, individually and through the Home Missions Council in
the Massachusetts Council of Churches, are working toward this end.
Mrs. E. Talmadge Root of Somerville has so happily expressed this
philosophy of co-operation that I quote her : "We have sought unity
on the basis of the intellect, and creeds have divided us ; on the basis
of the feelings, and rituals have separated us ; but the deepest faculty
of the soul is the will, and may not the common purpose to seek first
the Kingdom of God, unite us?"
Set in the midst of a rapidly changing world, our Conference ought
to bring one or more fields to or toward self-support every year and
thereby be enabled to push out into new fields where new work should
be undertaken. For example, there are 62,000 Polish people in the
Connecticut Valley, many of whom are not in the Roman Catholic
Church. We had a small work among them at Basthampton which
was discontinued about two years ago because our missionary, Tony
Demoracski, moved out of town. Our financial condition was such
then that we were obliged to reduce expenses. Now the financial situ-
ation, as a whole, is somewhat better. We ought to study this par-
ticular field, in co-operation with Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin
Associations, and discover the need and see what our duty is there.
On the higher levels of the Polish population there are many very
capable and high-grade people, especially among the young people,
who should be won for the service of Christ.
In a town in Eastern Massachusetts of 15,000 population there are
700-800 Fijins, but not more than 5 or 6 families of them are at all
interesited in the Christian Church. If we can find the right kind of
a man we ought to put him in that town to work as a friendly visitor
among those fine people, and show them the superiority of Christ's
way of life to Communism.
There is an urgent need of more work among the Finns between
Worcester and Gardner in Paxton, Holden, Rutland and Princeton.
A recent survey made under the direction of Prof. Charles Zahniser
of Boston University, makes these challenging discoveries, that 43%
of the children and youth in South Boston receive no religious edu-
cation from either Protestant or Catholic sources ; in Taunton 39%.
In the central Back Bay district of Boston there are only 912 persons
between 5 and 19 years of age ; but there are 10 Protestant churches,
in any one of which this entire number could be served. But in the
1937] Report of the Secretary 51
North and West Ends there are 14,000 such young people, and no
facilities under Protestant auspices to serve one-tenth that number.
We want to help worthy students in our seminaries. They are a
group of splendid young men. In the five leading seminaries in New
England there are about 200 student pastors. But unless two or
three days a week are given to the church, the student pastorate does
not effectively promote the Kingdom of God. At Yale, a student who
takes a church is required to reduce his time at the school to three-
quarters and take 4 years instead of 3. This is a good plan. The
trouble in many cases is with the church ; it is so often looking for a
Woolworth bargain. A very important part of the minister's and the
church's work is done Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
We ought to be able every year to enter some new field where need
and opportunity combine to make a clear Macedonian call for help.
The promise and appeal of many a small rural church, many a field as
yet uncultivated for Christ, has as much romance and adventure in it
as can be found in the annals of the American Board, the American
Missionai'y Association, or the Congregational Home Missionary So-
ciety. We can enter these new fields if you will only give us the money
to sustain such work. We need to rise above the mere business aspects
and the legal requirements, as important as these undoubtedly are,
and see the human need, the latent possibility, and obligation resting
upon us to make disciples of all peoples and teach them of Christ, and
make His Kingdom of larger dimensions in this fair and happy com-
monwealth of ours. Go back a moment to 1799 when the Massachu-
setts Missionary Society was founded. Its avowed purpose was "the
spread of the knowledge of the glorious gospel of Christ among the
poor heathens and in the remote parts of our country." The first to
sign the constitution was David Sanford, Pastor of the Church in
Medway. The first Treasurer was Deacon John Simpkins of Boston.
And it was "a society of Massachusetts missionary men, not a mis-
sionary society for Massachusetts." In the words of my friend and
predecessor, Secretary John Walker, "In 1805 the Secretary of the
London Missionary Society (distinctly a foreign missionary society)
was made a corresponding member of the Massachusetts Missionary
Society. The Massachusetts Missionary Magazine, which the Society
began to publish in 1802, and which became the progenitor of the
Missionary Herald of our time, contained quite as much news of for-
eign missions as of home missions." So you see how in the early days
the rural church and the city church, and the people of foreign coun-
tries were all tied up together in the tangled skein of missionary
organization and program.
52 Report of the Secretary [1937
I have been studying the figures of income and grants to churches
in more recent years. I wish many of you could sit in with our Com-
mittee on Aided Churches montli by montli and hear the appeal of
the various fields for assistance, and our reply, '"But we haven't the
money. We must reduce our grants and not take on new obligations."
And if only you knew the ministers and the churches and the people
of their parishes personally, as we of the Staff know them, the appeal
and the opportunity would get you. Let me make figures interesting.
In 1923, before we had the generous bequest of what is known as the
Stone Fund, which of course was given to the Massachusetts Home
Missionary Society before it was consolidated with the Massachusetts
Conference in 1928, the total income for the Society, from churches,
invested funds, the Woman's Home Missionary Union and legacies
was $126,995 and the total amount of grants to aided churches was
$89,335, which is 70.34+% of the income. In 1929, after the Society
and the Conference were merged, the grants to churches were $117,567,
or 62.34%. In 1936, the percentage of grants was 60.54% and in the
year that closed March 31, 1937, the percentage of grants was 56.04%.
Comparing the years 1923 before the Stone Fund, and 1937, the
churches and the invested funds and so forth gave $126,995 in 1923,
of which the aided churches received 70 1/3%. In 1937 the correspond-
ing income was $9,000 larger, but the amount of grants to aided
churches was $13,000 smaller.
The unknown author of an early Christian letter written about 150
or 200 A.D., and addressed to an unknown man called Diognetus, says
of the Christians of that day : "In spite of blameless lives they are
hated. What the soul is in a body, this the Christians are in the world.
The soul is enclosed in the body, and yet itself holdeth the body to-
gether : so Christians are kept in the world . . . and yet they them-
selves hold the ico7'ld together."
My friends, this work that you are doing in 183 churches and other
fields in Massachusetts, through 164 missionaries, is of supreme im-
portance for Christ and it is helping to hold the world together. We
of the Staff and the Trustees and the committees of the several associ-
ations, and the 164 missionaries renew our pledge of loyalty to this
work for the hopeful year ahead.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY, AND TOTAL, GRANTS TO ENGISH-SPEAKING
AND FOREIGN-SPEAKING CHURCHES AND MISSIONARIES
NECROLOGY
HENRY LINCOLN BAILEY
As fully and appreciatively as my knowledge and time permit, I want
to call to your remembrance 38 ministers who by birth or pastoral service
or membership in our associations belong in this roU call of those who now
have "passed to where beyond these voices there is peace." It is a noble
list of venerable men, half of them past 80, one almost 102, only two below
60, their average 77. All but five had served one or more of ovtx Con-
ference churches. They were born in 14 states and five foreign countries,
nine of them in Massachusetts, their deaths occurred anywhere between
New Hampshire^ Florida and Cahfornia, 14 in this state and one in Ceylon.
Seventeen colleges, Yale leading, helped educate 29, (I do not know about
the others), and I credit 11 seminaries with sharing their professional
training, LTnion, Andover and Hartford ranking 1-2-3. Besides those to
the manor born, there were 13 from seven other denominations, some of
whom transferred into Congregational ranks. Only three were in active
service in our own churches, and it happens that these three began their
ministry in three other denominations.
Alfred Clarence Church, once a Free Baptist, came to the Free Congrega-
tional Church of Andover 12 years ago. He dropped dead in a Boston
railroad station on January 7. Arcturus Zodiac Conrad had a five-year
Presbi'^terian pastorate in Brooklyn before his notable service with us, 12
years at the Old South in Worcester where the membership grew from 372
to 936, and 32 years in Park Street, Boston, where the 348 had increased
to 1,864 three years ago. Yet he carried on well past 80 before having a
young colleague in his final year^ Rosa Orchard Roemer and her husband
came into o\u- fellowship with the Chi'istian merger a few years ago. She
had been ordained at the age of 47, and Avas associate pastor in the Ames-
bury Christian church, although only Mr. Roemer's name has appeared in
the tables.
Thomas Sims had the unusual honor of being pastor emeritus of two of
our churches. He began xjreaching in England as a Primitive Methodist
in 1869, was ordained in Toronto in 1875, and held Congregational pas-
torates in North Dakota, Tacoma, Wash., and Toronto before coming to
the First Church in Melrose in 1897. He retired 21 years later with emeri-
tus rank. But he couldn't stay retired. Well past 70 he began again at
First Church, Millbury, pastor seven years and emerittis another seven
before his death in Florida in March at the age of 87. D. Turner Conlan
was educated at Boston University and the Harvard Law School and
1937] Necrology 55
practised in Boston. Then the gospel loomed larger than the law. After
serving as superintendent of city missions in Boston and Providence he
was ordained at the age of 58. He had pastorates in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont before coming to Courtland Street, Everett, in 1924
for an 11 year term, sickness compelling his retirement at 81, with emeritus
rank. Foiu- other men, once pastors of our churches, held the emeritus
relation elsewhere. Samuel Dunham, 101, was ordained at West Brook-
field and stayed seven years. After a brief Connecticut pastorate he went
to a Presbyterian church in Binghamton, N. Y., serving 29 years. Four
years later he took another pastorate in the same city, retiring after eight
years at the age of 79. He parallels Thomas Sims in holding emeritus
honors from both these chiirches. Millard Fillmore Hardy began his
ministry with six years at Whately and six at West Boylston. Then his
native New Hampshire and Vermont kept him busy. At the age of 62
he took charge for the second time of his home town church in Nelson,
serving 20 years and living on to 86 as emeritus. Burton Wellesley Lock-
hart, a Nova Scotia Baptist, came from Connecticut to our Third Church
in Chicopee for five years, going thence to Manchester, N. H., for a 27 year
service, with 17 years of emeritus rating ere he died at 81. Charles Henry
Rickets, 84, began his career in 1880 with the Thorndike chiu'ch in Palmer.
Four years later he crossed the state line for two short pastorates before
going to Norwich, Conn., for 35 years, plus four as emeritus.
After this eixhibition of lengthy pastorates let me introduce Charles
Russell Bruce, born in West Brookfield in 1854 but serving no church in
this state. After Amherst, Chicago, Yale and Andover had given him
eight years of training he went to Iowa for his first pastorate. In 41 years,
with 15 out in the middle when he was editing a country newspaper, he
had 16 pastorates, five ot them in double fields, chiefly in North and South
Dakota. He died in South Carolina in December at the age of 82.
Turning now to the men who have at some time been our fellow pastors,
there are 24 who now march past you in alphabetic sequence. John
Harrison Allen, 55, youngest on my list, was two years at the Riverside
Church in Haverhill 10 years ago. He was trained in a Baptist university,
ordained by the Disciples 13 years later, and had 11 years of Congregational
fellowship at the last. Samuel Colcord Bartlett, son of Dartmouth's
famous president, spent most of his professional life in Japan, but on an
extended furlough gave a year to our church at Colrain. He was one of
the original band of student volunteers in 1886, and went from college to
Japan, returning for a seminary course later. John Bicknell, born in
Cummington, was also a missionary. He went to Ceylon in 1902, came
home three years later, had a four-year pastorate in Maine, and was with
our Mansfield church five years. Then Jaffna College called him back to
be its president, and he died in office at the age of 59. Park Andrew Brad-
ford, graduate of Andover, had Congregational pastorates in Michigan
56 Necrology [1937
and Presbyterian in Kansas. Coming east again he was pastor at Scituate
two years and two at Tyngsboro, followed by five years of residence here
in Lowell at the turn of the century. He had other short pastorates in
Connecticut, Vermont and New York, and died in Chicago in his 83d year.
Charles Frederick Clarke, 66, was ordained a Reformed Episcopalian in
Toronto. Five years later he reformed further, became a Congregational-
ist and served at West Newbury one year and Groveland three. Then he
heard the West a-callin', and with a year's stopover in Dakota he reached
the coast and in 32 years served seven churches from Seattle down to Oak-
land, dying in San Francisco in April last year. William Colbert Detling
was an Ohio man first, last and almost all the time. If the Year Book
figures are correct he came twice to Massachusetts, being ordained at
Centerville at the age of 40 and graduating from Boston University at 50.
He was pastor at Centerville a year, and his life span was 79 years. George
Harland Dunlap had been a pastor 37 years in northern New England
before he ventured two miles beyond the state line for his final parish at
Ashby in 1914. He stayed eight years, then retired to Roxbury for the
last 14 of his 85 years. Albert Frost Earnshaw, born in 1870 in England,
educated at Princeton and Union, was pastor of the Central Church in
Chelmsford, 1904-08. William Clark Gordon, ordained a Methodist,
very soon came into our ranks. He was nine years at the Second Church
in Westfield, nine at Auburndale and two in Ware, his native town, from
which Howard University called him in 1922 to its School of Religion.
While driving to his summer camp last June, a sudden heart attack at
Peekskill ended his career at 71. Elwood C. Hall, a Christian minister,
served the New Bedford Christian church, now a part of our United
church, a few years in the '90s. He was born and died in New Jersey,
and most of his 80 years were spent there. George Ross Hewitt lacked a
few hours of reaching 85 when he died at his Roxbury home. Born in
Glasgow, he came here in youth and received a belated education, being 27
when he graduated from Phillips Andover in '79, going thence to Harvard
and Hartford. After two years in Vermont he became a fixture in this
state, with pastorates in West Springfield, Fitchburg, Eliot in Lowell,
West Medway and Enfield. Edward Allison Lathrop, 68, came from
Minnesota to Hartford Seminary and had two five-year pastorates at
Shrewsbury and Essex. Two short terms in North Carolina and Georgia
preceded his removal to Pasadena, where as landscape gardener he preached
a gospel of paradise on earth. Arthur Gilbert Lyon, 64, was born in Rayn-
ham and besides pastorates in Maine and Florida he served our churches
in Sutton, Haverhill Riverside, Lowell Pawtucket and Arlington Heights.
He died March 18 in his Lake Helen, Florida, parish. Another recent
death in Florida was that of Robert MacDonald, 76, who emerged from a
Baptist career of 20 years to render brilliant service at Plymouth Church,
1937] Necrology 57
Worcester, for a decade ending in 1925. He retired to Methuen but kept
his standing in Worcester Cejitral Association. Charles Pinckney Hol-
brook Nason had a perfectly good Congregational background but was
evidently foreordained to be a Presbyterian. Born in a clergyman's
family 95 years ago in Newburyport, he studied at Williams and Andover.
Sandwiched between Presbyterian pastorates in Buffalo and Philadelphia
was a 13-year service at Central Church, Chelsea. He was a Grand Army
man, and U. S. consul at Grenoble, France, for 13 years. Frank Herbert
Palmer was pastor at Essex, Weymouth and East Bridgewater, 13 years
between 1882 and '98. In the meantime he became editor and then pub-
lisher of the periodical Education. He was born in Cambridge and died
in Arlington 83 years later. Lawrence Perry, trained at Boston University
and Hartford to be a preacher, went from the seminary into dry goods for
three years before taking a pulpit at Greenwich. He was assistant pastor
at Jamaica Plain and Worcester, then pastor at West Wareham, Wayland,
Dracut and Hingham until 1920. He died in March a year ago, aged 75.
Clarence Pike had seven New England pastorates, one of them a double
field. Every move took him into another state. He began at Amesbury
in 1884 and was later at Ashland and at Royalston. His final parish was
in Vermont, but again he moved. He was 78 when he made the inevitable
crossing last September. Oliver Dana Sewall is next on my list. 1 yield
the pri\'ilege of his eulogy to the next speaker, but 1 can cay I loved him
too. Elmer Ellsworth Shumaker was broadly educated. Harvard, Prince-
ton, Berlin, Yale. Four profound volumes he wrote. Four of our churches
he served, in Newburyport, Cambridge, Boston and Adams. He lived 74
years, much of the time in his native state, Pennsylvania, where he died in
November. Gustaf Staaf, born in Sweden, dying in Minnesota, 15 months
ago, was for five of his 84 years a pastor of our Swedish churches in Fitch-
burg and Springfield. Henry Albert Stimson did too much in his 94 years
to be even generalized in this brief survey. Union Church in Worcester
was his second parish and his only pastoral contact with Massachusetts,
but we are fortunate still in the service of his daughter, Mrs. Elbert A.
Harvey. New York City had 350,000 people when he arrived there first
in 1842. In 1893 he became a pastor there, ending as emejritus until last
July. He touched organized Congregationalism in a score of ways.
William H. Thurston, a Brookline boy and Newton graduate, was a Bap-
tist pastor in Maine before joining our fellowship when he became pastor at
South Amherst in 1918. After three years there, he retired to Foxboro.
He was 67 when he left us in Septelmber. Squire Steppen Wood was 44
when ordained. He belonged to New York state, but his 10 pastorates
in 22 years included Goshen, Peru, and Oakham in this statet
Four other men, not pastors but members of our Associations, cannot be
overlooked. Edward Bertram Lund spent 13 of his 76 years as Scandi-
navian missionary in Worcester, early in this century. William Gay
58 Necrology [1937
Ballantine came from his Oberlin presidency to a chair in Springfield col-
lege 40 years ago. The city also felt his cultural influence and honored
him. He had lived 88 full and fruitful years. Isaac Ogden Rankin had
been a Presbyterian pastor 16 years in New York state when he came to
Boston to help edit The Congregaiionalist in 1896. Officially and later
unofficially he filled a literary pulpit with sage counsel and inspired and
inspiring verse. He was a man of spiritual insight and uplifting influence.
I have saved to the last the man I would rank first, Jamejs Levi Barton.
Never a pastor, he belonged to all the churches as a secretary of the Ameri-
can Board. He was a missionary statesman of world renown. Our Inter-
national Congregational Coimcil made him its president in 1920 for a
lO-year term. He was the field marshal of Near East Relief during the
war and beyond. They called him chairman, but he had no time to fill a
chair, he fifled a uniform on the field. His other activities were too many
and varied to be even hinted at. And his friendship is one of my choicest
memories.

PATTERSON, TEELE AJSTD DENNIS
Accountants and Auditors
1 Federal Street, Boston
Ralph M. Timberlake, Esq., President,
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts.
Sir: — We have audited the accounts of the Treasurer of
chusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society and of the
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society,
Trustee, for the year ending March 31, 1937, and we hereby certify
that income receivable from invested funds has been duly accounted
for ; that all other income shown by tlie books of the Society has been
duly accounted for ; that all payments have been proi3erIy vouched ;
that we have verified the possession of tlie securities representing the
invested funds ; that the cash in banks has been verified, and that in
our oponion, the accompanying financial statements correctly exhibit
the condition of the funds in the hands of the Society as at the close
of business on March 31, 1937. and the Treasurer's transactions during
the year ending at that date.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Patterson, Teele & Dennis.
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the
Massachusetts Home Missionary Society were united in a single cor-
poration. Previous to that time, the National Council of Congrega-
tional Churches and the Conference had paid their expenses for
meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for each
church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our
organization should still pay its own charges. Thirteen cents per
member is still asked of the churches. Seven cents of the thirteen
goes to the General Council (formerly The National Council) and
six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of the six cents
per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organiza-
tion to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon mis-
sionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and
interests of the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made perma-
nent funds by the donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the
income only. The practice of the Conference is to divide unrestricted
legacies into three equal parts. One part is used for current work, one
part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund, the income only of which is
used for general purposes; and the third part is added to a Contingent
Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for special under-
takings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be
expended as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole
or in part, these directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, the sum of Dollars.
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements
with the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part
of their property to be applied to our work after their death, and desire
an assured income from this property for themselves, or for others whom
they may designate as beneficiaries, so long as they live. Correspondence
with the Treasurer concerning such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for
the benefit of churches. Many churches have put their trust funds
in the care of the Conference. It is now administering trust funds
for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of ?377,000. It makes
no charge for its service. If any extra expense is incurred (expense
for legal service, for example) that is charged against the principal
or income of the fund involved. On funds which can be combined in
investment (Funds B) the Conference has earned and paid churches
the last year at the rate of 4.7%. Funds which have to be kept sepa-
rate in investment have yielded about 4.4%.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up
for the most part of persons who have had little experience in admin-
istering funds, to guard the safety of church trust funds. The Con-
ference has exceptional facilities for keeping funds safely and invest-
ing them profitably and wisely. The Board of Trustees of the Con-
ference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large
ability and experience in such matters. The churches may avail
themselves of the service of this ability and experience without
expense.
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF SPRINGFIELD
PRESIDENT, MR. JOHN A. DALE
SECRETARY, MRS. WILLIS B. ROBINSON TREASURER, REV. GARRETT V. STRYKER
In co-operation with the Massachusetts Congregational Conference
and Missionary Society, the Congregational Union of Springfield super-
vises the home missionary work in Springfield.
All contributions for home missionary work in Massachusetts by
the churches of Springfield should be made to the Congregational
Union, and will be credited on the apportionment. In accordance
with the mutual agreement between the two organizations, ten per
cent of the contributions for current work received by the Union is
paid over to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society.
The Congregational Union of Springfield is incorporated under the
laws of Massachusetts and may receive bequests and hold property.
THE WORCESTER CITY MISSIONARY SOCIETY
PRESIDENT, MR. KARL F. WILSON
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, REV. MYRON W. FOWELL
RECORDING SECRETARY, REV. HOLLIS M. BARTLETT
TREASURER, MR. EBENEZER G. SEAL
The Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary So-
ciety, by agreement with the Worcester City Missionary Society, is
responsible for the financial assistance and the supervision of home
missionary churches in Worcester in their current work, while the
Worcester City Missionary Society represents the fellowship of the
Congregational churches of the city and is responsible for aiding
churches in property matters, contributing toward the purchase and
maintenance of property and the payment of building debts.
Contributions for home missions from the churches in Worcester,
to be credited on the apportionment, should be sent to the Massa-
chusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society. Con-
tributions for the local work, given in addition to the apportionment
and not to be credited as a part of it, should be sent to the treasurer
of the Worcester City Missionary Society.
GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CON-
GREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from
its privileges, the Conference encourages the establishment of regular
religious services, and, if possible, the organization of a church, or a
branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by
the vote of the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference,
and should have the approval of the Advisory or Missionary Commit-
tee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full
all financial obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost
toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different
amounts according to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each
field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the Presi-
dent or Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose
support an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation
shall lapse, except for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every
minister and worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denomi-
nations, the avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the
consolidation or federation of churches of different denominations in
over-churched communities.

REPORTS OF BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
It has been voted to omit from this volume the
Reports of Boards and Committees which were print-
ed in the Advance Reports and distributed before
the meeting in Lowell. Any person desiring a
copy of these Reports for filing with the Minutes
may obtain it by writing to Secretary A. V. Bliss,
14 Beacon St., Boston.
STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council;
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are self-
evident. "W. C," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post ofiBce name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 19S7. Admissions
and removals cover the year 1936 "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females"
and "total," but included in them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1936. or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained" denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i."; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r."\ pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by council, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but mean "no report";
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of t>jose who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" hpome department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of churcn property, an asterisk * indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the ?tated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year offers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.

ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MINISTERS
This list gives the names of pastors, or acting pastors, and of all Congregational ministers
who are members of the Associations that guard ministerial standing.
Ministers who are not reported as having ministerial standing in this state, and who have
not been installed by council, are designated by a star (*). This does NOT mean that the
man has no ministerial standing.
The Urst column of figures gives the page on which names may be found of all in pastoral
service. A blank in the first column signifies that the person is not reported as being in
pastoral service in this state.
The second column of figures gives the page on which ministerial standing is recorded.
The post-office addresses as given below often differ from the places named in the tables,
and are supposed to be correct in this list.
An alphabetical list of licentiates follows this list.
SPECIAL NOTICE. — IF your name is not correctly printed in the preceding tables, IF
one Christian name is not given in full, IF your ordination is not correct or is not in its
proper place, IF your post-office is wrong, or IF before you receive the next Year-Book
your post-office is changed, or IF your name is omitted from this list, the needed change or
correction should be reported at once to the Rev. Alfred V. Bliss, Secretary of the Massa-
chusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.

BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be
held to refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no
circumstances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere
with the government or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and
counsel the churches when requested, but it is recognized that each church
has the power of self-determination in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which
our fathers confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression
in the historic creeds of the Chiu-ch Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Each evangelical Congregational church in this
Commonwealth or Christian church that is a member of a Congrega-
tional-Christian Association of churches in Massacliusetts may annu-
ally choose two delegates (of whom it is suggested one shall be a layman
and the other a laywoman), and these delegates, together with the pas-
tor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officio) the
officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of
Trustees and any person who shall have been elected an Officer
Emeritus), the committee members of the Conference and those persons
who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life members of the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting membership of
the Conference ; it is provided, however, that pastors of churches to
qualify for the voting privilege shall be Congregational or Christian
146 By-Laws [1937
ministers having membership in Congregational or Congregational-
Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons
appointed to speak before the Conference, together with all persons here-
tofore constituted honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Mis-
sionary Society, such persons as may be made honorary members by a

3. "The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees con-
sisting of one member from each Association of churches, six mem-
bers at large who shall be known for their special knowledge of
financial affairs of whom one shall be chosen each even numbered
year and two, — ■ beginning with the year 1935, — each odd numbered

The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from
which Trustees are to be chosen in the successive years and determine
whether the Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any
year shall be a minister, a layman, or a laywoman.
1937] By-Laws 147
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference
on or before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating
committee a candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such
candidate should be a minister, a layman or a laywoman, and the names
of such candidates shall be reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each
year. The Secretary upon the receipt of these names shall communicate
them to the nominating committee on or before April 10. In case any
Association fails to propose a candidate the Board of Trustees shall per-
form this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall commence at
the close of the 1933 Conference.
At its first meeting after each annual meeting of the Conference the
Board shall choose one of its members to serve as chairman for the ensuing
year. Except as otherwise provided in the charter of the Conference
or in these by-laws, the Board shall administer and dispose of the property
of the Conference and shall manage all its business and affairs, and all

MINUTES OF THE
139th ANNUAL MEETING of the MASSACHUSETTS
CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
May 16-18
Allin Congregational Church Dedham^ Massachusetts
MONDAY AFTERNOON
The 139th meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference and Missionary Society was called to order at 2:00
o'clock by the Moderator, Rev. Clarence E. Hellens of Fall
River, who presented the Chaplain of the Conference, Rev.
Ronald J. Tamblyn of Holyoke. In his first Service of Worship,
the Chaplain emphasized the universal, triumphant, unhurried
rule of God, according to His own laws.
The Moderator, in announcing the appointment of committees,
recalled the fact that we are in the presence of three hundred
years of organized religion in Dedham, and called to the platform
the pastor of the church. Rev. J. Frank Robinson. The com-
mittees were then announced as follows:
Business Committee — Rev. Frederick W. Alden, Chairman, Rev.
Kenneth D. Beckwith, Mr. Albert L. Bliss, Rev. Russell M. Boynton,
Rev. Edward W. Cross, Mrs. Elbert C. Harvey, Rev. Hugh Pennev,
Mr. Wilbur E. Rowell, Mr. Thomas Todd.
Credentials Committee — Rev. Theodore Bacheler, Rev. Harold E. LeMay,
Rev. Harry S. Lowd.
Deacons Appointed to Serve at the Communion Service — James Y. Noyes,
Theodore T. Marsh, Ralph D. Pettingell, William H. Hitchcock, Dr.
Fred A. Beckford, Frank C. Heald of the Allin Church; Arthur J. Crockett,
Granville A. Wiswall of the West Roxbury Congregational Church;
Alb in K. Parker, Harold E. Rice of the Norwood Congregational Church;
Sidney A. Weston of the Sharon Congregational Church ; Hibbard Richter
of the Leyden Congregational Church; Arthur W. Burt of the Park Street
Church.
The reports of the following committees were presented by their
respective chairmen, or some member of the committee, and
1938] Minutes 25
accepted as printed in the Advance Reports: Committee on
Religious Education, Board of Ministerial Aid, Committee on
Polity and Standards for the Ministry, Woman's Department,
Boston Seaman's Friend Society, Committee on Missions and
Apportionment, Board of Pastoral Supply, Committee on
Stewardship, Laymen's Committee, Treasurer's Report.
Reports which were discussed and amended were as follows:
Committee on Moral and Social Welfare: Rev. Clarence W. Dun-
ham presented an additional motion, expressing the opposition
of the Conference to all bills extending the time of sale for alco-
holic liquors. This was referred to the Business Committee.
Rev. Harry W. Kimball presented the report of the Committee
on the Preaching Mission, and announced that the committee,
having finished its work, was dissolved. He made the following
recommendations: (1) That the State Conference constitute a
committee to consist of seven members, on Evangelism and the
Devotional Life and that the Nominating Committee be in-
structed to nominate this committee. (2) That the $600 which
remains in the fund voted at Newburyport for the use of the Com-
mittee on Preaching Missions be given to this new Committee on
Evangelism and Devotional Life, to be used by them for the
cultivation of the spiritual life of our ministry. These votes were
referred to the Business Committee, and at a later session were
approved by them and adopted by the Conference.
The report of the Committee on the Relation of Churches and
Colleges was presented by Rev. John A. Hawley, who recom-
mended that a worker be secured to supplement the work of the
minister at Amherst, in caring for Congregational students in the
colleges there. Rev. J. Burford Parry, in approving the idea,
spoke of other college centers where a similar work might be
done. Rev. Harry W. Kimball then moved, and it was so voted,
that the matter be referred to the Trustees of the Conference,
requesting them to consider it and to grant hearings to ministers
in any communities where there are colleges.
At 4 :00 o'clock, a man known everywhere in the musical world,
Prof. H. Augustine Smith of Boston University, to the joy and
26 Minutes [1938
inspiration of a congregation exceeding the seating capacity of
the church, gave able instruction and leadership in congregational
singing of hymns.
Prof. Halford E. Luccock of the Department of Homiletics,
Yale Divinity School, gave the first of three addresses upon the
general theme, "First Century Backgrounds for Today's Church."
In Speaking upon "The God of a Growing Church," Prof.
Luccock defended the thesis that without God, there never has
been and never can be hope for the world. And today, in the
circling habit of time, we face a world much like that of the first
century. Now, as then, we must have an adequate conception
of God. No formula will suffice. A merely instrumental use of
God is irreligious, and any attempt to limit the sphere of His
operation short-circuits the whole idea of God.
There were four simultaneous supper conferences, continuing
through the evening, as follows :
1. The Laymen, at the Norwood Junior High School.
Mr. Wilfrid H. Chapin, Chairman of the State Laymen's Committee,
presided. The speakers were, Mr. Roy A. Hovey of Wakefield, on "A
Successful Men's Class;" Mr. William L. Brooks of Fitchburg on "A
Successful Deacons' Conference;" Rev. Dwight J. Bradley, Union Church,
Boston, on "A Successful Laymen's Retreat," and Mr. W. W. OUendorf of
West Medway on "The Importance of Laymen's Work." President
Daniel L. Marsh of Boston University delivered an inspiring address on
"What Does it Really Mean to be Educated?"
By way of entertainment, Lt. Commander Walter K. Queen, chief
engineer of the Byrd Second Antarctic Expedition, described with moving
pictures his experiences in both the Antarctic and the Arctic regions.
The meeting was attended by 367 men from 19 associations, with others
coming in after the supper.
The following resolution, presented by Mr. Arthur McClure of Woburn,
was unanimously adopted :
Resolved: That this meeting go on record in favor of the formation of a
Laymen's organization within the Congregational churches of our state.
That the Laymen's Committee of the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference lay the matter before the Board of Trustees with a request
that a secretary be engaged to organize this movement and that the neces-
sary funds be provided.
2. The Women, at the AUin Congregational Church.
Five hundred women, representing the Woman's Department, attended
the Woman's Supper before the Annual Meeting on Monday. The meet-
ing was held in the auditorium of the Allin Congregational Church. All
1938] Minutes
97
six hundred seats were taken at the evening session, with Mrs. Robert P.
Trask, Chairman, presiding. Reports were given from the different de-
partments and the fifteen districts. Mrs. Grabill voiced the appreciation
of the women for the work of the retiring Executive Secretary of the
Woman's Department and presented her with a gift. A fine, inspirational
address was given by Mrs. Francis J. Flagg, whose subject was, "The
Vision Glorious."
3. The Young People, at the Dedham High School.
The young people met in the dining-room at the Dedham High School.
About 465 sat down to supper and about 50 more came in for the program
after the supper. After much hilarity, and singing led by Stanley Kindig,
the group adjourned to the auditorium upstairs for the evening meeting.
Mr. Stanley Maxwell, President of the Massachusetts Pilgrim Fellowship,^
presided and led the worship service. The main address of the evening
was made by the Rev. A. J. Muste of New York, after which Rev. Ray
Gibbons, Dean of the new Pilgrim Fellowship Conference, gave information
about the Conference. Mr. Maxwell then spoke on the financial goals of
our state Pilgrim Fellowship. Miss Ruth Seabury, with her usual ease
and command of the situation, led the group in singing and spoke briefly
on the goals of the national Pilgrim Fellowship. The program closed with
the play, "Smoke," presented by the young people of the Manchester
church.
4. The Ministers, at the Unitarian Church.
President Ralph M. Timberlake presided at this meeting. The subject
of the discussion was "The Vitality of Our Ministry." Rev. Hugh Vernon
White spoke on "The Conviction of Christian Truth;" Rev. Richard
Herbert Bennett on "Pastoral Program;" Prof. Halford E. Luccock on
"The Preparation of the Preacher."
A resolution relating to Mr. Babson's general letter, prepared and pre-
sented for reference by a committee of the Suffolk South Ministers' Asso-
ciation, on recommendation of the mover, Rev. Clarence W. Dunham,
was referred without comment to the General Council.
TUESDAY MORNING
The Moderator called the meeting to order at 9:30, and the
Service of Worship was conducted by the Chaplain.
The Moderator then called upon the President of the Con-
ference to give his annual report. He reported many actual
achievements for the year and made practical suggestions for
further development of the rich fellowship in and through our
churches. His report, which is found elsewhere in these Minutes,
was adopted by a rising vote of the Conference. Preceding his
28 Minutes [1938
report, Mr. Timberlake read a telegram he had just received from
the New Hanapshire State Conference, and Mr. Bliss, our Secre-
tary, was requested to wire a suitable reply.
The Secretary of the Conference then gave his annual report,
printed elsewhere in these Minutes. Mr. Bliss stressed the im-
portance of what is so often out of our denominational mind, our
foreign-speaking work. His report concluded with the reading of
the necrology. The whole congregation stood as a mark of re-
spect. The following is the list of those ministers who have died
since the last Annual Meeting, and whose ministerial standing
has been held at sometime within the Conference:
Arthur Wilmot Ackerman, Feb. 22, 1938 Charles Edward Jefferson, Sept. 12, 1937

Edward Cleeves Hood, Aug. 13, 1937 Charles Franklin Thwing, Aug. 29, 1937
George Milton Janes, Dec. 24, 1936
Upon recommendation of Rev. Horace F, Holton, approved by
the Business Committee, it was
VOTED: That the Conference appoint a representative committee of
three to study and clarify the question of how far a committee appointed
by the Conference can speak and act for the Congregational and Christian
churches of the state. The recommendation was adopted and the follow-
ing were appointed: Rev. Horace F. Holton, Ethelbert V. Grabill, Harold
Martin.
It was
VOTED: That the appointment of a Secretary of Woman's Work be
referred to the Trustees.
At this point Mr. Roger Babson, Moderator of the General
Council of Congregational and Christian Churches, was recog-
nized and announced that at the hearing upon denominational
affairs to be held at once in the Unitarian church, he would be
1938] Minutes 29
glad to answer any questions, and that the meeting would be
conducted in a fair and Christian manner.
The following officers were then elected:
Moderator — Mr. Ethelbert V. Grabill, Jamaica Plain.
Vice-Moderator — Rev. Lyndon S. Beardslee, Westboro.
Recording Secretary — Rev. William L. Boicourt, Shirley.
Chairman of Department of Woman's Work — Mrs. Robert P. Trask,
Lexington.
Vice-Chairman of Department of Woman's Work — Mrs. Myron H.
Clark, Bedford.
Trustees— 1938-1942 :
Mrs. George H. Upton, Lowell, Andover Association.
Rev. Carl F. Schultz, Hyannis, Barnstable Association.
Rev. Watson Wordsworth, Housatonic, Berkshire South Association.
Rev. Eric I. Lindh, Brookfield, Brookfield Association.
Prof. Frederick C. Sears, Amherst, Hampshire Association.
Mr. Clarence E. Rice, Rockland, Pilgrim Association.
Mr. Willard C. Hill, Lexington, Member-at-Large.
Executive Officers
President — Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake.
Secretary — Rev. Alfred V. Bliss.
Treasurer — Mr. Myron S. Burton.
Field Secretary — Rev. George A. Tuttle.
Young People's Secretary — Rev. Porter Bower.
The new Moderator, Mr. E. V. Grabill, was then presented.
Rev. A. J. Muste, Director of the Labor Temple, New York
City, gave a scholarly and fervent address on the question: "Is
there a Return to Religion?" Surprising quotations from recent
books of prominent radical writers would seem to indicate it.
The pre-war hopes of an automatic, not to say atheistic progress,
are gone. Hopes and special panaceas and world programs, such
as Fascism and Communism, are now waning. The doctrine
that the end justifies the means is replaced by the discovery that
the means employed determine the nature of the end produced.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
At 2:00 o'clock. Prof. Carle C. Zimmerman of the Dept. of
Sociology of Harvard University, addressed the Conference on
"The State of the Rural Church in Massachusetts." Prof.
30 Minutes [1938
Zimmerman, who has recently directed intensive surveys of
rural communities in different parts of the commonwealth, said
that we do not yet realize how serious is the demoralization in
rural Massachusetts, due to the depression. Family life has
been weakened by long-continued public relief. Nothing short of
a spiritual revival can save the people, the families, the farms and,
therefore, the church itself in rural Massachusetts. At a later
session it was
VOTED: That the Chair appoint a special committee on the Rural
Church, consisting of seven members, three of whom shall be members of
the Aided Church Committee of the Trustees. The following persons
were appointed:
Rev. Clarence Carr, Miss Ethel Howard, Rev. Frederick R. Dixon,
Rev. Hilda L. Ives, Rev. J. Herbert Owen, Rev. Carl Schultz, Rev.
Harold B. White. {Ex-officio members: Rev. George A. Tuttle, Rev.
Alfred V. Bliss.)
Prof. Zimmerman has agreed to meet with this committee at
some mutually convenient time.
Rev. George E. Gary reported for the Nominating Committee

A resolution which had been first presented by Rev. Albert V.
32 Minutes [1938
House of Middlefield on Monday and further discussed Tuesday
morning was finally adopted as follows :
VOTED: That the associations be requested to follow procedures sug-
gested in Burton's Manual for calling of associational councils and that
the Conference Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry be
requested to send to registrars of associations copies of the text in Burton's
Manual on this point.
Rev. Hugh Penney, Chairman of the Board of Trustees pre-
sented the following resolution:
Whereas, the Board of Trustees recognize the splendid spirit which Mrs.
Carver has given her work as Woman's Secretary.
Be It Resolved: That the Conference in its Annual Meeting express to
Mrs. Carver the sincere appreciation of the Congregational Churches of
Massachusetts for her untiring interest and counsel.
Be It Further Resolved: That, the Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference in its Annual Meeting express to Mrs. Allbright, for the young peo-
ple of our churches, their sincere thanks and appreciation for her coopera-
tion and advice through her years of service. In passing these resolutions^
the assembly rose in each instance and applauded.
Mrs. Trask, the Chairman of the Department of Woman's
Work, announced that the Business Committee of the Woman's
Department had recommended, and that the Trustees had ap-
proved, the following amendments to the by-laws of the Con-
ference pertaining to the Department of Woman's Work:
That Article 8 on page 150 be consolidated to read as follows:
"The object of this Department shall be to help promote the
entire work of the local church and to further in every way pos-
sible the cause of Christ throughout the world."
That the fourth sentence of the same paragraph be changed to
read: "The Chairman, Vice-Chairman of the Department, the
District Presidents, the women members of the Board of Trustees
and the members of the Business Committee, as provided by the
rules of the Department, shall constitute the members of the
Executive Committee of the Woman's Department. These
amendments were adopted by the Conference.
Mr. Penney presented the following recommendation of the
Board of Trustees: that of the apportionment giving in 1939 not
otherwise designated by the donors, 14% be given to the State
1938] Minutes 33
Conference, 2.5% for the Council for Social Action and the
balance be left in the hands of the Executive Committee, for
action.
Rev. Dwight J. Bradley then presented the following amend-
ment:
Resolved: That the Massachusetts Conference recommend to the
Trustees of the Conference that the apportionment money be divided
among the various Boards of the denomination according to the recom-
mendations of the Executive Committee of the General Council, thereby
increasing the contribution to the Council for Social Action from 2.5%
to 4%.
This occasioned considerable discussion and the Moderator
announced that final action would be taken the first thing on
Wednesday morning.
The Business Committee announced that two invitations had
been received: one from the Worcester Central Association,
requesting that the Conference meet in Worcester in 1939
(or 1940) ; the other was a renewal of the invitation from Edwards
Church, Northampton, extended a year ago, and was presented
in person by Rev. Albert J. Penner. He added that the First
Church joined with Edwards Church in this invitation. It was
VOTED: That we accept the joint invitation of the Edwards and the
First Churches in Northampton and that the Annual Meeting be held
there in 1939.
At the suggestion of the Business Committee, the Conference
had the pleasure of hearing Dr. William Horace Day of Con-
necticut speak upon the Debt of Honor Compaign.
At 3:00 o'clock, the growing interdenominational Christian
Student Movement was effectively presented by three students of
differing denominational affiliation, under the direction of Rev.
William J. Kitchin, himself a Baptist. The first to speak was a
Methodist of Boston University, John Swombley, Student Chair-
man of the Boston Area. The second was Miss Ruth Jackson,
an Episcopalian, of Radcliffe, and the third was Paul Ward, a
Congregationalist, and a member of an honored missionary family.
All three expressed the insistent demand of modern youth that
Christianity be incorporated in social action.
34 Minutes [1938
Prof. Luccock, at 4:15, gave his second address: "The Making
of an Apostle." The first man elected to office in the church's
history, Matthias, was never heard from again; yet he was chosen
to be a "witness of the Resurrection." An apostle now, as then,
is one who is a channel through whom the Spirit speaks to the
people. He must be what he is talking about. You cannot get a
flower show over the radio. You can much less experience re-
ligion through mere word of mouth.
At 5 :45 the Fellowship Supper was held at the Dedham High
School. Secretary Bliss presided, and after the supper, intro-
duced Rev. J. Frank Robinson, who spoke in a happy mood and,
in turn, presented Rev. Lyman B. Rutledge, the minister of the
Unitarian Church in Dedham. Mr. Rutledge spoke on the early
history of the town and then showed moving pictures of the ter-
centenary celebration that had been held some months previously.
TUESDAY EVENING
The evening meeting was opened with a service of song, led by
Prof. H. Augustine Smith. Not soon to be forgotten was the
singing of "Joy to the World." A large congregation, led by the
church choir and inspired by Prof. Smith, sang with great volume
and elation of spirit.
The Chaplain, assisted by the pastor of Allin Church, conducted
the Service of Worship.
The annual appeal for a special offering for The Board of
Ministerial Aid was made this year by Rev. Robert Wood Coe,
and resulted in a collection of $256.03.
The Conference Sermon was preached by Rev. George A.
Buttrick of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York
City. His subject was announced as "The Primacy of Christian
Character," his text being Matthew 12:35: "A good man out of
the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things." The
sermon was a challenging appeal for confidence in goodness re-
sulting from Christian character.
The Communion Service was conducted by the Chaplain, as-
sisted by Rev. J. Frank Robinson.
1938] Minutes 35
WEDNESDAY MORNING
At 9 :30 the Service of Worship was conducted by the Chaplain.
At 9:45 the Business Session was opened.
The motion in regard to Conference percentages, presented the
previous day by Rev. Hugh Penney and amended by Rev.
Dwight Bradley, was discussed and it was adopted finally in the
following form:
VOTED: That the Massachusetts Conference recommend to the
Trustees of the Conference that the percentage quotas of the apportion-
ment money be reconsidered, with the exception of the 14% to be retained
within the Conference, so that in the light of further study and in ac-
cordance with sound and impartial judgment, the percentage allocated to
the Council for Social Action may be increased from 2.5% to 4%; or, in
case the full percentage of 4% seems too great from the standpoint of the
demoninational program and its fiscal needs as a whole, that a percentage
as near to 4% as may seem just and reasonable be allocated to the Council
for Social action, at the discretion of the Conference Trustees.
The Business Committee reported out the following resolution,
originally presented by Rev. Joseph L. McCorison, and it was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved: That the Congregational Churches of Massachusetts in an-
nual conference assembled call all ministers and churches in their fellow-
ship to reaffirm their Protestant Faith and their loyalty to our common
Protestant heritage, and to declare their allegiance to the principles of
American Constitutional Democracy and to all liberties guaranteed
thereunder; that in declaring our rights, we also affirm and acknowledge
our duties to love and preserve our country.
We believe in the principle of absolute separation of Church and State;
that all appeals to religious bigotry and racial animosities for political
purpose are un-American; that appropriations of public funds for sectarian
purposes are contrary to the spirit and letter of our Constitution; and that
discriminations because of race and religion are a violation of that liberty
which is the right of all American people.
We abhor the doctrines of Fascism and Communism and encourage all
citizens of this Republic of Free People, regardless of religious affiliation,
to hold tenaciously to the principle of majority rule and minority rights
in contradistinction to all foreign propaganda of whatever origin.
The following resolution was also presented by the Business
Committee and it was adopted:
Resolved: That this Massachusetts Conference reaffirms its faith in the
validity and effectiveness of Congregational polity and expresses its con-
fidence in the integrity of its elected representatives and its appointed
oflScers.
36 Minutes [1938
VOTED: That the Conference instruct the Committee on Moral and
Social Welfare to support with appropriate action legislative measures in
the following areas:
1. All bills prohibiting granting club licenses.
2. All bills seeking to restrict and prevent extension of time of sale of
alcoholic beverages.
3. All bills repealing pari-mutual betting; legalizing gambling.
It was
VOTED: That the resolution against gambling in churches and the
resolution in favor of the Lord's Day League be referred to the Committee
on Moral and Social Welfare for their consideration. They are as follows :
This Conference goes on record as opposed to "the appeal to chance,"
in any way, in support of the work of Christ, who gave himself that we
might learn to give.
The Conference appeals to the churches of the state to oppose every form
of gambling, in every organization connected with the church, and requests
all associations and church committees on social action to further this
appeal.
We wish to aflSrm our belief that the greatness and strength of New
England and the nation are in a very large measure the result of the sturdy
character and civic virtue developed by the religious life of our forefathers.
Character is the product of religion. The development of the religious
life is not a matter of chance. In a time of stress and the complex interests
of life, there is particular need for a time of rest and quiet, if people are to
have the opportunity to develop the strength that comes from religion.
We regret the widespread commercialization of the Sabbath day, as
well as the indifference with which the day is observed by many of those
within the Christian churches. We call upon Christian people to observe
this day for its religious purposes, believing that by such observance we
can better gain those stalwart virtues which are the true strength of
our country.
We view with regret the growing practice of holding military, patriotic,
semi-patriotic and civic parades on the Lord's Day. We protest against
the holding of such secular spectacles on Sunday, and we call upon churches
and church people to make like protests in their own communities, and we
further call upon such military, patriotic and civic organizations to con-
tribute to the development of real patriotism and civic strength by ob-
serving the Lord's Day for its rightful purpose, for rest and religious uses,
and that they find other times for such parades and similar celebrations.
We commend to churches and ministers the value of occasional emphasis
upon the proper observance of the Lord's Day and suggest that this subject
be considered in the programs of ministers' groups and local association
meetings.
We urge upon pastors the value of frequent preaching upon the due
observance of the Lord's Day for the purposes of rest and religious growth,
and we heartily endorse all efforts being made to increase church at-
tendance.
1938] Minutes 37
We reafBrm our confidence in the work of the Lord's Day League of New
England, both as the representative of the churches in matters of legisla-
tion affecting the Lord's Day and its program of education, and emphasiz-
ing the importance of the observance of the day for rest and religious pur-
poses.
As a result of a telegram from John W. Haseltine, President of
the Massachusetts Selectmen's Association, calling attention to
Senate Bill No. 210; filed by the above Association, then before
the Senate, it was
VOTED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society at its Annual Meeting now in session at Dedham
commends President Wragg of the Massachusetts Senate for his vote
breaking the tie vote on Senate Bill No. 210*, and urges that the Senate
pass this bill."
It was also
VOTED: That a telegram be sent to the Methodist Conference now in
session at Lynn, urging them to take similar action regarding Senate
Bill No. 210.
It was
VOTED: That five minutes of the morning session be given to Mr.
Grubaugh, as the New England Director of the Debt of Honor Campaign.
Resolved: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference express
its deep appreciation to the officers and committees responsible for the
arrangements for this Annual Meeting, in particular to the committee
responsible for this unusually splendid program. We express our thanks
to the pastor of this church, the Rev. J. Frank Robinson, the committees,
organist, choir, and members of the Allin Church for the careful prepara-
tion for the meeting and for their hospitality. We heartily appreciate the
thorough cooperation of the pastor and people of the Unitarian church;
and to the publishers of the Dedham Transcript, the police and Boy Scouts
we give our hearty thanks. We appreciate the cooperation of the ministers
and people in surrounding communities in providing hospitality. Finally,
we express appreciation to all others, especially the Moderator, who have
contributed toward the satisfaction we have felt as delegates to this out-
standing Annual Meeting.
*An act regulating appeals to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission by applicants
for licenses aggrieved by the action of the local licensing authorities.
38 Minutes [1938
It was
VOTED: That the action of this Conference at its last Annual Meeting
held in Lowell in 1937, calling for the repeal of Chapter 390 of the acts of
1936, which provided for the transportation of private school pupils to
and from school, be and is hereby reaflfirmed.
Resolved: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society hereby endorses the proposed constitutional amendment
to prohibit sectarian appropriations, introduced in Congress at the request
of the League Opposed to Sectarian Appropriations, and urges its
immediate passage.
At 10:30, Rev. William F. Frazier, Executive Vice-President of
the Board of Home Missions, addressed the Conference. Speak-
ing out of the richness and wisdom of an acquaintance throughout
our fellowship, which is as intimate as it is extensive, he stressed
the importance of the personal aspects of the Christian Church.
Walls and endowments cannot save us. Only as by common
Christian service to persons, we come to know each other through-
out the denomination, shall our love for one another grow and our
confidence in each other be increased.
At 11:30, Rev. D. Brewer Eddy, Secretary of the American
Board, spoke of serious moral conditions which actually now
threaten our present social integrity as well as the very future of
American government. His heart-to-heart talk was based in
part upon insights recently gained by a group of men, including
himself, who systematically studied trends in Washington, D. C,
and elsewhere.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
At 2:00 o'clock Prof. Luccock delivered the final lecture of the
series: "A Venturing Church." As the church in the first century
ventured out into disputed areas, so must the church of today.
Routine cannot save it. Subservience to anything less than the
Highest is fatal. To venture is to keep alive, and as Ex-President
Lowell of Harvard University once wisely said, "Not many insti-
tutions are killed while they are still alive."

THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT
May 16, 1938
This is the day of opportunity for Congregationalism. Never has there been
greater need for promulgating the religious spirit and moral principles that we have
inherited from our fathers. When, on the one hand, other agencies are threatening
the very basis of democracy; the freedom of the individual conscience and the right
of private judgment, and, on the other hand, the Ecumenical Movement is gaining
momentum, the Pilgrim spirit has a rare privilege of serving the Church and
Society.
The problem that faces us is how we may make our influence effective. Surely
it cannot be otherwise than by calling into use and emphasizing the complementary
principle of our Separateness, that of Fellowship. We detest the centralization of
authority. We naturally dread any form of organization that encourages the
sway of dictatorship. Our attitude, however, cannot be simply one of negation
and resentment. We must make a positive effort to perfect the technique of
Fellowship, to enlarge the area of our co-operativeness, to stimulate an espirt de
corps among those who share our faith and policy. If we believe in the values of
fellowship we have every good reason to become enthusiastic for its practice and
to rejoice in the expectancy of an ensuing spiritual revival.
The full benefits of fellowship do not happen of themselves. The strictly
independent Congregational Church cannot in isolation profit by the experiences
and experiments of its sister churches. While we shudder at the thought of sub-
mitting in abject obedience to authority, we can and we must be responsive to the
power of suggestibihty. We must believe that in every church there is the desire
for improvement and the willingness to accept suggestion and to co-operate to
attain a common purpose. Free chiu^ches are not necessarily devoid of a common
sense that is ready to be influenced by the opinions and example of others, and to
profit by their experience.
This leads to a clearer understanding of the nature of the leadership which your
Conference can give to the churches of the Commonwealth. The Conference is
a service institution. Its greatest service might well be that of creating occasions
for Fellowship, of arranging to bring together for intimate intercourse various
groups within the churches, and of preparing the way whereby the rich experience
of the one may be shared by all.
We recognize that the work of the Conference Staff is that of intimate and
friendly coimsel with pastors and individual church groups. But important and
obligatory as this friendly service is, equally helpful would be that of arranging the
setting and perhaps suggesting a program for intimate conferences between groups
of leaders of the similar Departments of the chiu-ch life, such as the Pastors, the
Sunday School executives, the Young People's leaders and the officers of Women's
and Men's organizations.
In every Association there are the standard number of committees, but it is
apparent to all that frequently a Religious Education Committee or a Missionary
Committee or the Laymen's Committee of an Association does not hold a formal
meeting from one year's end to the other. No one really is to blame for this. The
40
1938] Report of the President 41
committees are often appointed without anyone being named as Chairman. The
Moderator of the Association, being a pastor of a chm-ch and serving for but one
year, cannot undertake this responsibihty. The Scribe of the Association has his
clerical duties to perform and is not in any sense an administrator, therefore, so
far as the particular committee is concerned, what is every one's job is no one's job.
In Congregationalism in England this weakxiess is relieved by the fact that the
Moderator of the Association is an executive officer, a minister free from parish
duties, and he gives his time to furthering the common interests of the churches
of his group. My personal conviction is, and the Board of Trustees shares in this
belief, that there would be great advantage to the churches of our Conference if
each member of our Staff were assigned to a specific area of the state and made
responsible for cultivating the fellowship of the churches in that area along the
lines indicated above.
In a measure we can see the benefits of such a plan in the Western Associations.
Mr. Tuttle, the Field Secretary, has not as yet followed through completely such a
program as I have outlined, but in his intimate acquaintance and personal contact
with churches and ofl&cials of Western Massachusetts he is receiving an enthusiastic
response from them and finding the solution of many parish difficulties. There
is being engendered a new strength and hopefulness, particularly in the smaller
churches.
Another interesting support for such a plan is a resolution adopted at the Annual
Meeting of the Old Colony United Association only a few days ago. It was then
voted, "That we hereby request the Trustees of the State Conference secure a
Pastor-at-Large or Executive Secretary for Southeastern Massachusetts, a man
who will come and live among us and function in a way similar to the present ar-
rangement in Western Massachusetts. We would be pleased to have this plan begin
on September 1st, 1938."
I have suggested to the Board of Trustees that it would be well if the Associations
of Massachusetts were divided into five groups — the Western, Central, Northeast,
Southeast and Greater Boston Areas; that within each one of these there should
be placed a Field Secretary whose responsibility would be the cultivation of a
friendly acquaintance with each pastor and church situation, the direct counseling
with individuals and groups as such assistance was sought, and especially the build-
ing up of a fruitful fellowship in each Association and also between similar groups
from the several Association in his area. This may not be, by any means, a perfect
plan, but I thoroughly believe it will meet an urgent need. It would be a for-
ward step in perfecting the technique of Fellowship between independent churches.
Greater Boston Regional Council
Apropos the above suggestion I am happy to report here what has been going on
in the way of closer co-operation among the Associations of the Greater Boston
Area. Considerable of my time during the past year has been given to meeting
with and assisting a committee, some time called the "Concord" Committee and
more recently "The Greater Boston Fellowship Committee", representing four
Associations and under the able chairmanship of Reverend M. Russell Boynton.
It has been a joy to me to see how an idea of closer cooperation dropped into this
fertile soil has developed and borne fruit in the foi;mation of a Greater Boston
Regional Council. At the recent meetings of the Suffolk North, Suffolk South,
42 Report of the President [1938
Suffolk West and Woburn Associations each one gave its sanction to the establish-
ment of this Council and elected representatives thereto.
Briefly the objectives of this newly organized Council are:
To co-ordinate the work of the four Associations.
To undertake work that the Associations individually cannot so effectively
discharge.
To call together the churches of these Associations for services of iinited
worship.
To consider means of raising the common level of the spiritual life of the
churches of the Congregational Fellowship in this area.
To stimulate the activities of the service committees in the four Associations
and to arrange for joint meetings of these committees.
To be charged with advancing the welfare of the churches of the Associations
as a whole.
Here in Greater Boston is to be undertaken an emphasis on Fellowship, such as
I have been urging for the other areas of the state. With a purpose in no way
conflicting with the work of the Conference and certainly in no sense attempting
to duplicate the work of either the individual Associations or the Conference, but
heartily calling upon and depending upon the co-operation of all these agencies,
the Greater Boston Regional Council will, I believe, show the way toward a
creative Congregational Fellowship.
The assistance which your Executive Officers have been able to give the Con-
ference through its formal committees is revealed in the reports of these com-
mittees as placed in your hands in printed form:
Mrs. Allbright with the Religious Education Committee
Mrs. Carver with the Woman's Department
Mr. Bliss with the Aided Church Committee
Mr. Tuttle with the Committee on Churches and Colleges
Mr. Burton with the Finance Committee
Your President with the Missionary, Preaching Mission,
Laymens, Stewardship Committees and those on
Moral and Social Welfare and on the Polity and
Standards for the Ministry.
Fall Programs
In keeping with our purpose to serve the Associations, the State Committee on
Religious Education and the State Missionary Committee are together uniting
in offering to the Associations a balanced program for their meetings next Fall.
The theme of the study will be "A Parish Program of Christian Education".
This is wide enough to include the whole interest of the Church. Speakers and
leaders will be made available and suggestions will be offered for the use of local
leadership. The whole idea is to enable each Association at its next meeting, to
present a timely and helpful discussion of issues vital to every church. A complete
1938] Refort of the President 43
and definite statement of the plan will soon be sent to Association leaders with the
hope that many will avail themselves of this invitation to engage in a realistic
consideration of problems which concern every church worker.
"Pilgrim State News"
An important factor in making the members of our Fellowship better acquainted
with one another, which in itself is essential to the beginning of co-operation, is the
Pilgrim State News. During the Past year Reverend Raymond B. Blakney of
Williamstown has ably and brilliantly edited our state paper. Under his hand, and
in co-operation with the Missions Council, it is becoming a welcome and interesting
visitor to the homes of our people. Recently the Trustees have made it possible
for me to announce that the Pilgrim State News will be sent to every pastor for a
year. We expect that each minister will be glad to send back to the state office his
"subscription quarter" as a token of the value of the News to him, — in the
matter of the "pastoral changes", if nothing else. Our main hope, however, is that
appreciating what the Pilgrim State Neivs could do for the members of his church,
every pastor will become an active agent in securing subscriptions to our paper.
We have at the present time 2,527 subscribers. We ought to be able to double
that number by next May. The Editor is giving at least three days of his time a
month, gratis, to making this little magazine worth while. Surely his fellow
ministers will be glad to give some definite time and effort to getting the message
and spirit of the Pilgrim State News into the homes of his parish.
The Debt of Honor
Last year at Lowell you authorized the support of Massachusetts toward the
Debt of Honor Fund. Your approval at that time had much to do with encouraging
the Executive Committee of the General Council in proceeding with and perfecting
its plans for the campaign. I should like herewith to inscribe on a roll of honor
the names of the men who have been active in the leadership of our state organiza-
tion and program. Four of our active pastors were graciously and unselfishly
released by their churches in order that they might undertake the directorship of
our effort. They are as follows: Reverend Leon E. Grubaugh of Adams, Reverend
Theodore Bacheler of South Hadley Falls, Reverend Lyndon S. Beardslee of
Westboro, Reverend Hugh Penney of Eliot Curch, Lowell. Without any per-
sonal advantage or gain these men have thrown themselves enthusiastically and
ardently into the promotion of the Debt of Honor. With them should be recorded
the name of Reverend Robert W. Coe who has served as Chairman of the State
Committee and the following men who have served as Chairmen of District Com-
mittees: Reverend M. Russell Boynton, Reverend William F. English, Reverend
Olin B. Tracy, Reverend Harold S. Capron, Reverend Baldwin W. Callahan,
Mr. Raymond Andrews, Mr. Frank Auchter, Reverend Carl Fearing Schultz,
Reverend John H. Sargent, Reverend Harry Grimes, Reverend David J. Julius,
Reverend Albert J. Penner, Reverend Harry W. Foot, Reverend Paul S. McElroy,
Reverend Clement F. Hahn.
Encouraging, indeed, has been the way in which this Fund has appealed to the
people at large and the response that has come from the laity when they have
understood its purpose. Several of our churches, some in spite of adverse conditions.
44 Report of the President [1938
have already completed their participation and done so with great generosity.
Others are in the process. Still others are planning to make their appeal this Fall.
No church in Massachusetts should fail to discharge its obligation in this common
undertaking of our Fellowship. Let it not be said that the Old Bay State put its
hand to the plough and took its eye from the mark before the task was fully ac-
complished.
Ministerial Changes
During the past year there have been over eighty changes in the pulpits of
Massachusetts. The Conference Office has been directly related to more than
half of these. Two of our active pastors have laid down their duties here to enjoy
the reward of the good and the faithful servant. These are the Reverend Archie
G. Axtell, pastor of the White Oaks Church in Williamstown and the Reverend
Albert F. Pierce, acting pastor of the Point of Pines Church in Revere who com-
pleted sixty-eight years in the active ministry.
Sixteen of oiu- co-laborers retired from the parish ministry during the year.
Many of them are continuing to serve the churches as interim pastors. These are:
Rev. Ernest L. Baker, Rev. Arthur Barber, Rev. Arthur S. Burrill, Rev. Charles
M. Crooks, Rev. William Fryling, Rev. Harry W. Kimball, Rev. Warren P.
Landers, Rev. George E. Lombard, Rev. Clair F. Luther, Rev. Newman Matthews,
Rev. Henry E. Oxnard, Rev. Charles R. Small, Rev. Arthur F. Virta, Rev. John
C. Wightman, Rev. Benjamin A. Willmott, Rev. John E. Whitley,
Twenty-nine of our ministers have removed from the Commonwealth, most of
them to Congregational chiu-ches in other states.
Twenty-four ministers have transferred to other churches within our Conference.
As a result of changes in pastorates nine of our capable ministers up to the
present time have been added to the number of the unemployed.
During the year we have welcomed to twenty-one churches Congregational
ministers from other states and nine of our churches have seen well to call to their
pastorate ministers from other denominations. Seven churches have called recent
seminary graduates. Twenty changes have been in churches served by students.
Of the several attempts we have made to unite two weaker churches into a
yoked parish in order that they might be able to share in a more able leadership,
in only a few instances have we thus far succeeded, though others are pending.
Our church at Granville Center has been federated with the Baptist Church in
Granville, and the work seems to be moving along happily under the ministry of
Rev. and Mrs. Asa MelUnger. These were formerly both struggling churches with
a small constituency and only about a mile apart.
A co-operative enterprise has been entered into by some ten of the rural churches
in and about Pelham. With Rev. Harold B. White, formerly of Easthampton, as
the mediating agency, a strong and varied program is slowly but siu-ely getting
under way. In this parish and at Southfield a Student Summer Service will be
maintained by the New England Town and Coimtry Church Commission.
Also in the western area the new ministry of Marion Phelps in the Erving-
Farley-Wendell combined parish is producing worth-while results. The people
of these communities are coming to appreciate the value of their respective churches
and are losing their former spirit of discouragement. The awakened religious
interest in Tolland should be noted. For several years the only religious center
in the township has been for the most part closed. Now the church is being put in
1938] Report of the President 45
repair outside and in, and plans are already laid for the resumption of regular
Sunday services during those months of the year when travel conditions are right.
The work will undoubtedly go on under the leadership of Rev. Glen P. Holman,
the West Granville minister, with the happy co-operation of the people of that
parish.
Another interesting indication of strength is the coming to self-support of the
Boylston Church in Jamaica Plain. For forty-seven years the Conference has
been making an annual grant to this church. Under the splendid leadership of
Howard Pomeroy, at its recent annual meeting, the church voted not to renew its
application for aid this coming year. The same should be said of the Hope Church
in Worcester to which Rev. Henry C. Stallard has been called, the First Church of
Lynn where George B. Owen became pastor two years ago. Due to pastoral
changes grants have not been requested by the Union Church in Medford, the
Waldo Church in Brockton and Trinity Church, Neponset. Conference aid has
been discontinued to the Pilgrim Church in Dorchester and to the First Church
in Everett for an assistant.
The Conference has added temporarily to the list of churches receiving aid the
North Church in Lynn and the Church in North Reading. With the encourage-
ment and aid of the Conference the 218 year old church in Orleans, which last year
voted to close and sell its parsonage, has recently decided to call a pastor and again
actively serve the community.
This report should contain the record of a resolution adopted at the annual
meeting of the Hampshire Association of Congregational Churches and ministers:
"In view of the elimination of the town of Enfield by the action of the Com-
monwealth and the loss to our fellowship of the Enfield Congregational Church:
Therefore be it resolved that we express our deep loss over the dismemberment of
an organization so rich in the tradition of service to the world's need; and be it
further resolved that we express to our brethren of the Enfield Congregational
Church who have lost their place of worship and spiritual refuge our affectionate
regard and warm fraternal sympathy. We extol the long line of faithful and de-
voted servants of Christ who have served in the pulpit and parish of their Church.
We glory in the Christian character which has been nurtured through its ministries.
Though great is our sadness in the loss of this historic village we rejoice that through
Christian living it is possible to create a city of God which never dies."
The erection of new buildings, sanctuaries or parish houses has taken place in:
Randolph
The Rollstone Church, Fitchburg
Phillips Church in Watertown
Robbins Memorial Chiu'ch in Greenfield
Hope Church in Greenfield
In the following churches there has been undertaken extensive restoration or
remodeling:
The Pilgrim Church in Cambridge
The Maple Street Church in Danvers
Grace Church, Holyoke
Lakeview Church in Worcester
Hadwen Park Church in Worcester
The Church in Wellfleet
The Church in Westminster
46 ReTport of the President [1938
The former Congregational Church Building Society, now the Church Building
Department of the Board of Home Missions has made appropriations in Massa-
chusetts to eight churches. — In Grants totaling $7,500 and in Loans totaling
$47,450.00, a grand total of $54,950. The churches assisted were:
Framingham, Grace
Ipswich, First and South
Randolph, First
Raynham Center, First
Revere, First
Somerville, First
Springfield, Hope
Worcester, Lake View
During the year, on the unanimous advice of the pastors of Springfield, the
Conference has discontinued the financial arrangement it has had for some time
with the Springfield Union whereby "90 per cent of the contributions for state work
received from the churches of Springfield was retained by the Union."
The Conference will continue to co-operate with and encourage the Springfield
Union just as it has been doing through the years with the Worcester City Mis-
sionary Society.
Every report that has come to hand from pastors regarding their special Lenten
services and the accessions of new members at Easter, indicates that through the
year there has been a general growing interest in the church and a renewal of
spiritual life in our communities. This is due, I thoroughly believe, not to economic
reasons, but to the consecrated and devoted work of our ministers. If the day of
opportunity is before us our churches are surely awakening to their privilege and
responsibility. The service and strategy of the Conference must be extended to
bring to the support of our pastors every resource and moral and spiritual equip-
ment, — a great and effectual door is open to us.
Lead on, 0 King Eternal, we follow, not with fears.
For gladness breaks like morning where re Thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted o'er lis, we journey in its light;
The crown aioaits the conquest; Lead on, 0 God of might.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
The field work of a Conference Secretary is like pastoral calling. It is intensely
interesting in its human contacts; it is infinitely varied, realistic and rewarding..
In one p3,rticular it resembles the painting of the great Firth of Forth Bridge,
near Edinburgh, Scotland. They paint this bridge once every three years, and it
takes just three years to paint it. Since our Annual Meeting at Lowell, a year ago,
I have visited 138 churches, and attended 20 meetings of associations or associa-
tion committees, besides uncounted individual and church committee conferences
in the office. While it is difficult to draw a sharp line between city and rural
church, in general these visits have comprised 53 rural churches and 78 churches
in cities, and 38 foreign-speaking churches.
The foreign-speaking work is not the most popular part of our program. One
reason may be that it is not so well known, because the difference in language acts
as a barrier on each side of the line, with the result that we do not know so well
the personnel of the churches of foreign speech, and they do not know us so well;
and natiu-ally they feel a bit backward about coming to us or to our church meetings.
I want briefly to point out one aspect of this foreign speech work that to me seems
very important. It has to do with the making of happy and wholesome contacts
between the two groups. The percentage of crime among people of foreign birth,
in the United States, is not as high as among those of native American birth. The
crime rate, however, among the first generation of the children of the immigrant,
born in this country, is higher than among the people of American stock. The two
outstanding reasons are that, first, in our large cities we have segregated the im-
migrant families into the Italian quarters, and the Greek quarters, and the Ghetto,
and for the most part, in the slums; and secondly, following from this, their prin-
cipal contacts with American life have been at its lower levels of vice, crime, and
impurity and lawlessness. Until well into this century, the Protestant church and
the public school have not done much to help the foreigner adjust himself to the
new conditions of American culture. The lead was taken back about 1890, by
the establishment of work in the slums by the now famous settlement houses, such
as Hull House in Chicago, the Henry St. Settlement in New York, and the Andover
House, now the South End House, in Boston. We are glad to praise the wisdom
of the Roman Catholic Church in entering this same situation with its parochial
schools, and meeting the newly arrived immigrant with ample understanding of
his foreign cultiure and intelligent desire to help him adjust himself in his new
home. We have a hiunble right to be proud of our own record of foreign church
work in Massachusetts, by which we have brought to the Germans, Swedes, French,
Finns, Norwegians, Albanians, Armenians, Portuguese, Syrians, Italians, Greeks,
Chinese, Polish, the wholesome and redemptive contacts with the gospel of Jesus
Christ, mediated, as it necessarily must be, thru the church, the only body Christ
has in the world, and thru individual men and women who possess and radiate
the Christ spirit. I shudder to think of what these groups of strangers in a strange
land might have become, had not the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society
gone to them with outstretched hand and warm friendly heart. This work has
given and still gives them a vital contact with the spirit and the ideals of Jesus
Christ and fulfils for them St. Paul's promise to the Ephesians: "You are therefore
47
48 Report of the Secretary [1938
no longer mere foreigners ... on the other hand you share citizenship with the
saints and are members of His family." Eph. 2 : 19.
The earliest record I can find of helping a church of foreign speech in Massachu-
setts was in 1836, when we helped for 13 years a German church in Boston. In 1863,
our records report a Hollander church, which for 10 years we helped. In 1867, and
for 18 years, we aided a Swedish church in Boston. And, believe it or not, for
3 years we helped a Hebrew church, in the 1890's.
The Swedes seem to have been the pioneers in organizing churches that are now
living: for example, the following: Worcester, Swedish, inl 880; one in Forest Hills
and one in Lowell, in 1881; one in Easton in 1883; which we aided for 36 years.
Our Norwegian church in Roxbury was organized in 1885 and we have aided this
for 52 years. Fall River French, Clinton German, Fitchburg German, Waltham
Swedish, Fitchburg Swedish — which two years ago became the Pilgrim Church
(English-speaking), Worcester Armenian, Millville Swedish, Quincy Finnish,
Fitchburg Finnish, whose pastor. Rev. Andrew Groop, has the honor of having
the longest pastorate in the state, 43 years in that one church, and so on down to
more recent times.
There is no promise of growth in these churches of foreign speech, as such.
They will naturally take on American ways and imperceptibly become English-
speaking churches. A year ago I told the people of the Armenian-speaking, and
those of the Turkish-speaking Armenian churches in Porter Square, Cambridge,
that within ten years I hoped to see in that beautiful and spacious church edifice,
not a service in Armenian Sunday morning and another using Turkish Sunday
afternoon, as at present, neither group understanding the other, but one great
English-speaking church, composed largely of people of Armenian descent, but
thoroughly American.
Many other foreign-speaking churches will disappear and their members will
gradually be absorbed by some neighboring English-speaking church. This
process, though, depends largely on how cordially the church of English speech
welcomes the people of foreign descent into their life and work. It is up to us to
extend a warm hand and heart. These new Americans will make a valuable contri-
bution to our church and community. They are contributing now to our symphony
orchestras, our laboratories of science, judges to our courts, mayors to our cities,
athletes to our college baseball and football teams and marathon races, sculptures
and paintings to our parks and art galleries.
We have been privileged, during the last hundred years or more to co-operate by
aiding financially the following outstanding, and now self-supporting, churches
in this commonwealth:
Adams now having a membership of 636
Arlington 709
Arlington Heights 476
Roslindale 867
West Roxbury 816

If these great, leading churches now were once aided by the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society, we can, with reasonable assurance, look forward to
seeing some of the present beneficiaries of the Society become equally great, strong
leading churches of our Massachusetts Conference.
The ecumenical idea, which took shape and action last summer at the Oxford
and Edinburgh Conferences, is coming to expression in this commonwealth. In
fact, it has been finding a feeble expression here for many years; but we hope that
Oxford and Edinburg, and their immediate successor, the recent meeting in Utrecht,
Holland, to draft a constitution for a World Council of Churches will hasten the
movement here. This word "ecumenical," which is the Protestant word cor-
responding to "Cathohc," represents 350,000,000 people, while Roman Catholicism
represents but 331,000,000 people. The Greek work "ecumenical" is found 14
times in the New Testament, while the Greek word "Catholic" is not found in
the text of the New Testament books at all. We are witnessing a thriUing move-
ment in this ecumenical idea. It means that we shall talk less about "our churches"
and more about "the church." As surface indications of this movement, I am
glad to state that the two churches at North Raynham and Raynham Center
are planning to reunite in a single pastorate again, under Rev. C. Leonard Holton;
the churches at Sherborn and South Natick have been yoked together under the
I>astoral care of Rev. Lewis Chase. Two colored churches in Brockton, Congrega-
tional and Baptist, have been making love to each other with a view to union, but
the much-to-be-desired consummation has not yet been realized. The two churches
in Pelham have federated under the enterprising leadership of Rev. Harold B.
White. In New Marlboro the three or four churches there, of which Rev. Clarence
Carr is the prophetic pastor, are planning a forward looking, ecnumenical com-
bination to be known as "The United Church, or Churches, of New Marlboro."
The two Swedish churches in Beverly and Rockport, Pigeon Cove, have been
happily yoked for a year and a half under the one pastorate of Rev. Oscar F.
Johnson.
Two or three other similar projects are in the making but cannot be reported
quite yet.
I was honored in offering the ordaining prayer at the ordination of the Unitarian
minister in Westford, Rev. W. W. Lewis. He is the minister of the federated church
there, comprising the Congregational and the Unitarian churches.
The very happy spirit of co-operation and good will shown us by the Unitarian
50 Report of the Secretary [1938
church here in Dedham, in entertaining this annual meeting, is prophetic of even
better days to come.
This AlHn Church, Dedham, for the second consecutive year, reports the largest
number of accessions on confession of faith, namely 90. Last year it led with 85
accessions. There are 175 chprches that do not report any accessions on confession.
In total membership our churches on January 1, 1938, were 1413 ahead of a
year ago. But our church schools show a loss of 1698; last year the loss was 3600;
and comparing January 1, in the years 1929 and 1938, the loss in the later year
was 19,023.
Strange to say, the peak year for church school membership was 1918, when it
was over 130,000. Last January 1, it had dropped to 97,299.
The largest church school is in the South Church, Springfield, with 1016 members,
with Dorchester, Second, following close behind with 990 members. Everett,
First and Quincy, Bethany are tied for third place.
The apportionment contributions for the calendar year 1937 were $6,421 less
than for 1936, and $437,055 less than for the year 1929.
The largest giving to denominational missions was by the Old South Church,
Boston, namely $14,147, with Pittsfield, First and Brookline, Harvard holding
second and third places. Boston, Old South gave $1100 more this year than in
1936.
Home expenses of our churches in 1937 were $84,036 over those for 1936; but
compared with 1929, they were over a million dollars ($1,079,508) less. But the
property value of the 615 chvuches in 1937 was about $70,000 more than in 1929.
I think there is beginning to be a Return to Religion. There are indications that
people are hungry for real religion. The ecumenical movement — to refer to this
once again — indicates an awakening of the churches to the necessity for a united
Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The testimony of those who came back
from Oxford and Edinburgh last summer was that God has put an end to our
beginnings, and has begun himself. They felt that there they had met God; they
had seen Christ. This is the ground of our confidence today.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The Committee on Religious Education has thought of its task as having
two important phases: first, that of helping to develop elements of a religious
education program for the churches, and, second, to make such contacts with
local leaders as wUI enable them to use the available resources of religious
education.
To meet this second need, the committee took two of the meetings of the
State committee into two different associations, — in January, to Fall River
and in March, to Amesbury. The members of the association committees,
in these two areas, were invited to sit with the state committee during the
afternoon; and later, institutes were held for pastors and superintendents.
During the evenings, group conferences were provided for leaders of children,
young people, and adults.
The sub-committee on Children's Work held two profitable conferences with
children's leaders from the associations. This is regarded as a most hopeful
development, for it relates to the state committee competent women who
will become effective workers in their associations.
The sub-committee on Young People's Work has continued the development
of the Pilgrim Fellowship. Two meetings of the State Council of the Pilgrim
Fellowship were held: one at Edgemere Lodge, on Columbus Day, and the
other in Boston, during March. A sense of solidarity among the young
people of the state is steadily developing. The council adopted certain pro-
gram emphases which it recommends to all types of young people's organiza-
tions, and has initiated a plan of enrollment, whereby local societies register
the names of their officers with the state office. Those so doing receive a
certificate of enrollment. One of the features of this plan of enrollment is
that it gives young people's groups an opportunity to share in certain financial
goals, including Congregational Christian work within the state, within the
nation and throughout the world. Although, at the time that this report was
written, the letters announcing the plan had only been out a short time, a
considerable number of young people's groups had sent in contributions to
the financial goals adopted for the Pilgrim Fellowship. It is planned to send
four young people and an adult to the first meeting of the National Council
of the Pilgrim Fellowship at Rockford in June. This meeting will surely give
tremendous impetus to the whole young people's program in the state.
The sub-committee on Summer Conferences has again made available to
the pastors the chart of summer conferences, and leaflets describing the
activities of each of them. Members of the committee are making individual
approaches to churches which have not sent delegates to summer conferences.
With the approval of the state conference, the committee this year is
holding the first Pilgrim Fellowship summer conference at Massachusetts State
College in Amherst, on June 26 to July 3. The enrollment will be limited to
two hundred young people of the high school age.
The sub-committee on Leadership Education is making a study of the
degree and quality of leadership education carried on within and among the
churches of the state. The results of this survey will be taken account of
by the committee as it plans its program during the next year.
1938J Advance Reports 61
The travel libraries have been in use steadily throughout the year. The
committee has helped to promote the readmg list which is widely and profitably
used.
The committee provided for a conference of association chairmen at the
time of the Pilgrim Fellowship Council meeting at Edgemere Lodge. It is the
judgment of the committee, expressed in formal recommendation to the state
conference, that the state committee membership should be reconstituted so as to
include the chairmen of association committees. This would mean that the group
who develop and promote a state program and would be composed of those who
are responsible for the same type of activity within the associations.
Perhaps, the most significant item of report is the plan proposed for an
intensive and widespread emphasis on religious education during the next two
years. The committee is suggesting to the churches the following plan:
First, that Religious Education Week supplant the usual rally Sunday. This
would mean at least the following program in the churches:
That the first week of October be observed as Religious Education Week;
That on the first Sunday of October a sermon on the importance of the
educational program be preached by the pastor or by someone in exchange with
the pastor;
That at this service, an effective service of installation of teachers and
ofiRcers be held and that the service include a consecration of parents to the
responsibility of Christian nurture;
That during this week the religious education committee of the church
have its first meeting, or that a well-planned session of parents and teachers
be held to begin to study the parish program of Christian education.
Second, this Religious Education Week plan would be but the beginning
of a two-year program which would have as its initial work the study of
the new booklet, "A Parish Program of Christian Education" (ten cents from
the State Conference office). This booklet represents the judgment of the
members of the religious education committee as to the kind of program
elements which should be included in the work of every Congregational and
Christian church in Massachusetts. It is urged that sufficient copies be
secured for every member of the religious education committee of every
church. If there is no such committee, one of the first steps in the program
would be to organize one.
Third, immediately following Religious Education Week the state com-
mittee plans to hold coaching conferences in twenty-five communities in the
state. The purpose will be to sit down with pastors, superintendents, mem-
bers of the religious education committees, and teachers in the churches and
to discuss the most practical steps that may be taken in putting into effect
the policies and plans outlined in "A Parish Program of Christian Education."
The members of the staff of the Division of Christian Education of the
Board of Home Missions will give three weeks to the state and will assist
in the visitations to these twenty-five communities.
Fourth, the committee will seek to integrate the work of associations and
of the state more satisfactorily. The proposal for the reconstitution of the
state committee so as to include chairmen of association committees is one
step in this direction. Often, members of association committees ask, "Just
■62 Advance Reports [1938
what are we supposed to do?" In an attempt to give practical guidance to
such persons, the committee has adopted the following series of suggestions
which constitute something of a "standard" for association committees.
During the next few months, some way will be found whereby state and
association committee members may discuss and adapt these to the needs
of the various associations:
1. To interpret "A Parish Program of Christian Education" and to
promote its use in the churches.
2. To hold at least one workers' institute within the association during
the year.
3. To organize or maintain an active associational Pilgrim Fellowship.
4. To secure the attendance of key young people and of a member of the
association committee at the Edgemere conference.
5. To lodge responsibility for children's work in a responsible person or
committee related to the association committee on religious education
and to make sure that a children's work program is carried on.
6. To help the churches to develop adequate programs of adult education.
7. To fix a quota of young people and adults for attendance at summer
conferences and to attempt to reach this quota.
8. To promote the use of the best educational literature in every church.
9. To seek an opportunity to present the educational program (or some
phase of it) at the association meeting.
10. To include missionary and social education and action as a part of
the program for all churches.
The members of the committee want to express their appreciation of the
work of Mrs. Manley F. AUbright who has faithfully served the committee
and the churches. She has always been eager for counsel and guidance
from the committee, has administered the program developed by the com-
mittee with fidelity and efficiency, and in countless ways has served large
numbers of the churches.

REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF MINISTERIAL AID
for the Year 1937
The Executive Committee of the Board of Ministerial Aid herewith submits
its report for the year 1937.
The present Chairman was elected at the meeting of the State Conference
held in Lowell last May. He assumed his duties early in the month of June.
He wishes to record his deep appreciation of the kindness and good guidance
given to him by Dr. John H. Quint and Dr. Austin Rice of the Committee,
Miss Taft, the Clerk, and Mr. Todd, the Treasurer. In the very nature of the
case he has been called upon to counsel with these several persons in all matters.
The Committee has held frequent meetings at the call of the Chairman
and all business has been transacted with full knowledge on the part of the
entire Committee. The new Chairman is impressed with the significance of
the work done by this Board and holds in high esteem the general plans of
procedure which are followed. It is his regret that he has been unable to
do the work of visiting the recipients of our aid, who reside within the State.
The hope is expressed that more extensive work may be done in this field in
the future.
A year ago in our Ministerial Aid family, there were thirty ministers,
forty-two widows, three single women and three children, totaling seventy-eight.
Five were added to this number during the year.
The following were removed from our rolls by death: In January, Reverend
D. Turner Conlan; in March, Mrs. Ida Q. Moulton; in June, Mrs. Anna
Tamzarian; in August, Miss Ellen B. Foster.
There were on our rolls on December 31, 1937, thirty-five ministers, thirty-
nine widows, two single women, and three children, totaling seventy-nine.
There have been added already during the early days of 1938, Reverend Arthur
F. Virta, Reverend William Mousley, and Mrs. Charlotte Conlan.
The grants during the year 1937 amounted to $13,605.75. From the
Emergency Fund there has been appropriated $2,086.50; from the Christmas
Fund $2,536.70. The average gift from the Christmas Fund was: for ministers,
$49; for widows, $37.
The outlook for the coming year is that our need will be at least as great
as in 1937.

Robert Wood Coe,

REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON POLITY AND STANDARDS
FOR THE MINISTRY
The Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry, elected at the
1937 annual meeting of the State Conference in Lowell, has held three meet-
ings during the year. We have conducted the first "Pastor's Day-a-Week
Course" for the ministers of western and west-central Massachusetts, and we
have cooperated with Andover Newton Theological School in a similar course
for the ministers of eastern and east-central Massachusetts. Members of the
committee, when invited, have assisted associations or committees on creden-
tials with reference to questions pertaining to our ministry.
The western Massachusetts "Pastor's Day-a-week Course" was held at Hope
Church in Springfield on Mondays from October 4 to November 1, 1937. Dr.
Richard Clarke Cabot and Dr. Austin Phillip Guiles led the morning assem-
blies, using the theme: "The Art of Ministermg to the Sick"; and Dr. Charles
Allen Dinsmore presented the afternoon lecture series on "A Touch of Noble
Books." A total of 43 men registered for all or part of the course; and receipts
for registration, amounting to $69.25, were forwarded to the Conference
Treasurer. Rev. Otto K. Jonas of Hope Church and Secretary George Tuttle
assisted members of the Committee in the conduct of the course, and pastors
from different associations had charge of the helpful devotional periods. The
attendance and the comments from men who shared in the course were
gratifying.
A one-day Pastor's Course at Andover Newton Theological School was held
on the Tuesdays during the fifteen weeks of the first semester, 1937-1938.
Professor Daniel Evans, Abbot Professor, gave lectures on "Christian Ethics
and the Modern Mind." Professor James P. Berkeley offered a course in
"Studies in the Gospel of John." Preaching and parish problems were dis-
cussed by Dr. Charles N. Arbuckle and Dean Vaughan Dabney. Professor
Amos Wilder and Professor A. Philip Guiles lectured on the Oxford Con-
ference, both of them having been in attendance there.
The committee voted to re-affirm its previous declaration, calling for the
maintenance of recognized standards for the Congregational ministry.
Your committee offers the following recommendations, to be presented at
the annual meeting of the State Conference in Dedham:
1. That the Pastor's Day-a-Week Courses at Andover Newton and in
western Massachusetts be continued in the fall of 1938.
2. That the Conference conduct two retreats for the ministers in September,
probably at Adelynrood and the Eaglebrook School.
3. That the Committee on Polity arrange meetings with the Committees
on Credentials of Associations within the State, looking toward the raising
of ministerial standards.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MORAL
AND SOCIAL WELFARE
Your Committee on Social and Moral Welfare if not faced with the original
chaos, certainly felt that A faced a chaos equally as bad as the original. For
as Rev. John Gratton of Pittsfield said, in commenting on the immoral con-
ditions revealed in his city, "We have been torn loose from our former social
backgrounds and tossed into a new era, in which we are adrift. The moral
slump has hit not our city alone but the entire world." Your committee,
composed of two women, two laymen and five clergymen, realized only too
well that even the church of Jesus Christ seemed to be a voice crying in the
wUderness of this moral chaos. What could we do to arouse the churches
of our Conference in the State of Massachusetts to face with confidence, and
good will, the moral problems facing us. We found first that each of us on
the committee was an average person with no special endowments for the
task of enlightening others. But we found that each of us had a different
burning interest in at least one field of the social and moral prospect. Mr.
Herman Richter and Mrs. Lucius E. Thayer were chiefly interested in In-
ternational Peace and felt they could serve best if they concerned themselves
with that problem. We at once made Mr. Richter chairman of a sub-committee
on International Peace, with Mrs. Thayer as his helper. Mr. Richter has this
to say about the work of his sub-committee on Peace:
"Since this sub-committee was set up last fall, the world has drifted
measurably closer to war. There is some hope, nevertheless, that the very
imminence of another catastrophe may force adjustment of ancient wrongs,
may cause peoples the world over to review more critically the existing eco-
nomic order (which appears to lead us, willy-nilly, into fratricidal strife) , and
may lead to the adoption of long overdue reforms that will lay the foundations
for a stable peace. It is fatuous to believe, however, that these things will
happen by themselves. Just as past crises in world history have been met
with action, so must the present one be met. The need of the hour is union
of our Christian peoples — not for war agamst the dictators, against com-
munism, or against any of the things which are merely symptoms of grave
dislocation in the economic order — but constructively for peace. It has been
our hope that our sub-committee might in time come to function as a sort
of clearing-house on the peace issue for members of our denomination. There
are many who want to work for peace but who are confused by the numbers
of organizations having peace as their goal or who cannot easily find the type
of organization into which they will fit. To such, our committee can be of
real service. We can also help in obtaining suitable speakers for church
groups, and we trust that those who need this service will feel free to call on us."
Mrs. Benjamin C. Lane felt she knew most about the liquor problem and as
chairman of this sub-committee submits the following:
"At the Annual Meeting of the Conference, last year, the Committee was
instructed to bring about a number of radical changes in existing liquor legis-
lation. As a most necessary step toward carrying out these instructions we
have felt that we should know the most important provisions of the Laws
now on the statute books and put them into a form available to any one
1938] Advance Reports 67
Interested in the control of the liquor traffic. Through the kindness of Mr.
Arthur J. Davis of Boston, a Digest has been prepared, intended to inform
the layman regarding the general provisions of the existing statutes. We
believe that the study of this Digest, combined with investigation of local
conditions based upon it will enable anyone interested in the problem to
present an intelligent and convincing argument to a legislator or Legislative
Committee. These Digests are available at the Conference Office, 14 Beacon
Street at 10 cents per copy. The name of the booklet is, 'A Digest of the
Liquor Laws and Other Suggestions from the Committee on Moral and
Social Welfare.' "
Rev. Samuel L. Laviscount accepted the chairmanship of the sub-committee
on Race Relations and submits the following:
1. Keep tabs on newspapers as to what they print about colored people,
how they say it, especially in the editorials, and spelling Negro with a
capital "N".
2. Work with two racial groups together on some great issue, such as.
Peace and War, or in some Social Center work, like the Robert Gould
Shaw House, or in the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, or in the Urban League.
3. Keep people informed about the laws on the statute books and the laws
pending before the Legislature and Congress, such as the Anti-Lynching
Bill, at present in Congress.
4. Refer cases of race discrimination to the N.A.A.C.P. or the Urban League.
5. Advocate a Christian attitude when confronted with a situation in-
volving the rights of colored persons in employment, transportation
accommodations.
6. Show a friendly attitude to a colored person in public when circumstances
are likely to make it embarrassing for the person, as for example, on a
street car or a railroad train or in a public assembly of any kind.
7. Be certain that your idea of brotherhood is lifted from a basis of race
and blood, as in Germany, or nationality, as in Italy, or an economic
class, as in Russia, and is rooted firmly in the fatherhood of God,
and the humanity of all people everywhere.
8. If it seems feasible, organize a kind of international club to include
people of various races and nationalities living in your vicinity, es-
pecially students and young people.
Reverend Lawrence R. Howard, who accepted the chairmanship of the
sub-committee on gambling, makes this report:
"Your sub-committee on gambling urges once again repeated and continued
protest from the churches against the gambling mania, with action by Asso-
ciations when possible. We recommend the professed purpose of the Anti-
Gambling Association, but earnestly warn" against leaving this matter entirely
to any such official group of varied financial backing. Action like that of the
Braintree ministers last December ought to be heard from in every part of
68 Advance Reports [1938
the state repeatedly. They cite the Beano games, slot machines, the numbers
racket, and so on, which have sprung up everywhere, in their vigorous at-
tack. It seems evident that these things increase when legal protection is
granted, for example, to pari-mutual betting on horse and dog racing. More-
over, for the state to accept revenues from this source is to take a step back-
ward in the direction of state lotteries, for which two petitions under initiative
have appeared at our state house. Specious and ably worded objections that
New Hampshire and Rhode Island and their tracks, and illegal bookmakers
in Boston, will get the gains we now take for the state, disregard the grocer,
butcher, and small business man who lose on unpaid bills, as Senator Parkman
says, as well as the fact that efforts are being made to stop legalized gambling
in those states also. As the Christian Science Monitor aptly points out, *It
is the gambling promoter who makes a profit out of legalized betting.' "
The sub-committee on Civil Liberties, of which Rev. Edward Condit is chair-
man, says:
"The Civil Liberties Sub-Committee raises this question: — How long Massa-
chusetts Congregationalists are to enjoy their American Protestant heritage
of freedom is being determined in Massachusetts General Court by strong
pressure groups, well organized and unified. Bills censoring press, radio, films,
and school text-books are flooding the Legislature. On the grounds of op-
posing Communism, certain Fascist-principled groups are shackling American
Democracy. The writer of this statement has just participated in a hearing
at the State House. Notably lacking in participation at these hearings of
these Un-American measures are Congregational clergy and laity. Conspicuous
in participation are those who believe that American Protestantism is spiritually
dead. The sheepishness of the sheep supports the wolfishness of the wolves.
We are not being fleeced; we are being devoured. Those who use their legs
and lungs at these hearings are getting results detrimental to religious and
political liberty. We recommend persistent personal contact with your State
Senators and Representatives and immediate attendance at one or more
of these hearings."
Dr. John F. Jordan, who is the chairman of the sub-committee on Industrial
Relations, recommends that we consider the vital questions presented in the
forthcoming Economic Plebiscite and will be glad to aid any group desiring
help or speakers.
Perhaps the most important problem before the Conference Committee on
Social and Moral Welfare is the task of organizing the independent churches
of our state in such a way that they can act cooperatively when crises arise.
As a group we are convinced that pending legislation increasingly affects moral
issues and our cherished liberties. Interested and centralized groups unhesitat-
ingly bring pressure to bear. Representing our free fellowship, we are at a
disadvantage. Unless our Congregational and Christian Churches can find
a way to ascertain and express the intelligent opinion of their constituency
there is danger that our Commonwealth will fall into moral chaos under
Fascist control. The problem of organizing and circularizing the associations
and local congregations was undert&ken by Rev. Harold E. Martin. He en-
deavored to get time at Association meetings for the presentation of prob-
lems involved in taking the coming Economic Plebiscite. He asks individuals
1938] Advance Reports 69
in churches and scribes of the Associations to assist him in securing the names
of chairmen of the local and Association Social Action and Moral and Social
Welfare Committees. He set up two important and successful seminars on
the Economic Plebiscite, one at Springfield and the other at Newtonville.
One of the older and more prominent ministers of our Conference, demanded
that our committee take immediate action in the Liquor situation. We decided
however that no member of our Committee could represent the Conference
committee unless the whole committee unanimously instructed him to do so.
Then he was to speak only for the Committee on Moral and Social Welfare
and not for the churches of the Conference. The question of action is an
important one, as we have suggested. We have tried to be honest in the
field of action. Only when the State Conference instructs your committee
to take definite action in precise ways will we speak or act. The State Con-
ference must face the problem of effective action in the field of Moral and
Social Welfare.
As a committee, we found the officers of the State Conference most helpful.
The trustees appropriated the usual traveling expenses and doubled our ap-
propriation to enable us to do specific work which they approved of. The
individual members of the committee through their own efforts and generosity
more than equalled the appropriation of the Trustees of the Conference. As
a result we are able to have printed a booklet giving a digest of the Liquor
Laws and pending legislation in the field of Civil Liberties and Gambling. We
propose no resolutions. We recommend the Social Action Magazine and urge
you to organize local committees of Social Action to face the questions of Inter-
national Peace, Liquor Control, Race Relations, Gambling, Civil Liberties,
and Industrial Relations, and, above all, the problem of how to take effective
action by word or deed when, as a group of Christians, our Congregational
Christian Church members feel that they must act together or drift into the
modern moral chaos which leads us all to a catastrophe.

REPORT OF THE WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT
The long established objectives of the Woman's Department of the State
Conference are "the promotion of the entire work of the local church and
the furthering in every way possible of the cause of Christ throughout the
world." Whatever may have been accomplished this year in these fields of
endeavor is due essentially to the cooperative efforts of each woman who has
been intelligently at work bearing some part of the responsibility in her own
church group.
State and district officers together with the Department Secretary are re-
sponsible for the promotional program, but the individual woman is of para-
mount importance in accomplishing effective results. Therefore, the Executive
Committee of the Department has tried to strengthen the contacts with our
church women throughout the state and to supply the necessary tools for the
work. This plan has been implemented in many ways; some new, some old.
One new method was a two-day conference held in May at "Adelynrood",
South Byfield, for the members of the Executive Committee and the District
President. Mrs. William H. Medlicott, Associate Executive Secretary of the
Missions Council, and Mrs. Royal G. Whiting, Regional Secretary of the Council
for Social Action, cooperated most helpfully. The main themes considered
were: "What Can I as a Trustee, Director, or District President contribute
to the Woman's Department program in my State, District, Church?" "Wor-
ship for the Individual, for the Group." "Our Tools and How to Use Them."
This conference proved so very satisfactory that a similar one will be arranged
early this June.
An all-day conference for this same leader group was held in February at
the Y. W. C. A., Boston. Reports of district activities were made and op-
portunity given for discussion of problems. Again Mrs. Medlicott shared the
fellowship of the day and spoke of "The 1938 Outlook for the Church Woman."
Each of the Standing Committees has been most faithful in carrying out
its particular responsibilities. A full report of their individual activities will
bs given at the Annual Meeting of the Department, but mention of the more
important is pertinent here.
The Public Meetings Committee, Mrs. Morton D. Dunning, Chairman, has
planned the Pilgrim Hall Meetings, presenting many denominational interests.
Approximately three hundred women have shared in the inspiration, informa-
tion and fellowship of these "First Fridays" of the month. Women from local
churches have led the devotional period and soloists have rendered special music.
A new accomplishment for the Education Committee has been arranging
for a representative chairman in each District. Mrs. Myron Clark, in charge
of this division of our work, is calling this group together in April to formulate
plans for better cooperation with local auxiliaries.
Miss Amelia J. Burrill, Chairman of the Box Work Committee, arranged
an all-day meeting at the Y. W. C. A. for the District Box W^ork Chairmen.
Assignments of work for the year were distributed and explained. Mrs. Mary
D. White, one of our National Secretaries for the Board of Home Missions,
was most helpful in answering the many questions and created real enthusiasm
for this much needed work.
The outstanding contribution of the Social Relations and Christian Citizen-
1938] Advance Reports 71
ship Committee has been the all-day program on International Relations ar-
ranged for the April Pilgrim Hall Meeting. A panel discussion on "How Can
We Make America Safe?" created great interest. Rev. Charles M. Styron was
the leader with the following members of the panel: Mrs. Frank L. Nason,
Mrs. John J. Mahoney, Mrs. Waitstill Sharp, Mrs. E. E. McClintock, Mr.
Theodore Smith, Mr. Robert S. Woodbury. After luncheon at the Twentieth
Century Club, Mrs. Styron, Chairman of the Committee, presented two
speakers, Professor Anton J. de Haas, who spoke on "Education for Inter-
national Relations", and Mr. John Dickey, who discussed "The Trade Agree-
ments Program."
During the summer of 1937, Mrs. Mary R. Carver spent her vacation in
the south, visiting several of our denominational educational units. She also
conducted the course in Missionary Education at the Summer Conference at
Grandview, Tennessee. She has been happy to share her experiences and the
inspiration derived through these contacts with many church groups. Mrs.
Carver not only carries the work of the Woman's Department, but attends to
the many demands of the Speakers Bureau and the promotional work con-
nected with Home and Foreign Board projects. Her days at the office are
packed full of difficult detail, but she always has an answer for each questioner.
The Department has cooperated with the Massachusetts Federation of
Women's Church Societies in promoting attendance at the World Day of
Prayer service held at St. Paul's Cathedral, Boston, as well as the services held in
various centers all over the state.
A series of Lenten lectures on "A Growing Consciousness of God" by Mar-
garet Slattery, attracted a large and enthusiastic audience.
Both the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman of the Department have at-
tendered regularly the sessions of the Board of Trustees and given much time
to the work of various Conference Committees.
The Chairman and Executive Secretary have enjoyed meeting with the
leader groups in a majority of the Districts. These personal contacts are
immensely valuable for gaining a better understanding of the work as a whole
and for discovering able local leadership.
Two conferences for State Women Presidents have given much helpful in-
formation and pleasant fellowship, one in Connecticut for the New England
and Atantic States leaders, with Mrs. Medlicott in charge; the other in Evan-
ston in connection with the Mid-Winter Council Meetings.
A survey of the year's work reveals definite and encouraging progress, but
in this day of titanic evil forces presents to all of us a challenge to develop a
more effective Christianity, which should be irresistible.
BE STRONG.
"Say not the days are evil. "Who's to blame?
And fold the hands, and acquiesce. O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.
BE STRONG.
"It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong.
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not — fight on. Tomorrow comes the song."

REPORT OF THE BOSTON SEAMAN'S FRIEND
SOCIETY, INC.
for the Year 1937
During the past year 40,000 seamen have visited the Sailor's Rest, Boston,
and 3,524 the Society's Bethel at Vineyard Haven, Mass. All the privileges
of our Bethels have been made available to all men of the sea, irrespective of
nationality, creed or color.
The Society has provided 38,803 meals and a total of 18,215 beds have been
occupied during the year. Eleven thousand three hundred seven seamen were
provided with free beds and meals. This large number was due to the great
amount of unemployment. The Society has furnished emergency cash for
over 1,000 men.
Many men have been sent to the Marine Hospital in Chelsea for accidents
and various ailments. The Society has also cared for a very considerable
number who have come to us from the hospital and been provided for until
they were in condition to go to sea again.
Clothing and wearing apparel have been furnished to 640 seamen. Shoes
have been repaired for 192 men.
During the year the Society has provided 52 free concerts with an at-
tendance of 5,525. Our Chaplain, Mr. Thorpe, has conducted 51 religious
services with an attendance of 2,615 men.
During the summer our launch, the "Seaman's Friend", distributed to 859
ships in the harbor over 25,000 magazines, and sea libraries containing 3,500
books. At the Sailor's Rest we have distributed in addition some 8,000 maga-
zines to the men coming from their ships, and sixteen libraries.
The cost for maintaining the work of the Society for the year wa^ $46,259.55.
The receipts from the churches were $6,070.49 of which Massachusetts gave
$3,243.23. This was a gain of $346.29 from the New England churches and
$249.46 from those of Massachusetts.
Superintendents Thorpe and Tower and their assistants have labored
earnestly and successfully during the year to keep up the morale of the sailor
lads. Many of these men are exceedingly grateful for the friendly and Chris-
tian treatment which they have received at the hands of the Society's
workers. It has been a year of rewarding service to the men of the sea.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS
AND APPORTIONMENT
The hope of the Missions and Apportionment Committee this year has
been that 'Re-thinking Missions' might be 'Re-interpreting Missions'. With
this thought, then, conferences were planned in the fall following the same idea
used at the Concord Committee Conference in June. This intimate type of
conference reaped the benefits of a smaller group — namely, a feeling of more
freedom of discussion and exchange of ideas. There seemed to be an increased
interest and awakening on the part of ministers and laymen alike in the
Apportionment and in the problems of the Conference in general. Three
such conferences of ministers and Association missionary committees were out-
lined. These were held on Sunday with an afternoon meeting, supper gathering
and an evening meeting with a speaker on the subject of 'Stewardship.' Ample
time was given to question periods. These conferences were held as follows: —
September 19 at Newton Center for Suffolk and Woburn Associations; October
10 at Dan vers for Andover and the two Essex Associations; October 17 at
Middleboro for Pilgrim, Barnstable and Old Colony Associations.
The original hope of the Committee continues and with that still firmly
in mind we approach the end of the year with a deep realization of the
need for development of a WORLD INTEREST PLAN. Truly conscious of
the fact that Christianity is the only agency offsetting fear in the world,
we would educate for the purpose of awakening a more vital interest in
missions, that thinking missions shall mean an interest in an individual as
well as a cause. We would that the people of our churches should know those
in the field, know what they are doing and what they have to do with, and
sense what a tremendous inner dynamic motivates these workers to truly
Christian service.
Foundations for such a WORLD INTEREST PLAN can be laid this spring
and therefore plans have been laid for the first step. This will take the form
of an all-day conference of Association missionary committees and ministers,
to be held on Monday, April fourth, in Tatnuck Church, Worcester. At this
time the general plan will be laid before the Association representatives. There
will be general discussion as to the best and most effective way to project this
plan into the churches of the Associations. It is the hope of the Committee
to have a missionary speaker in every church within a given length of time.
The Missions Council will provide speakers if a definite plan can be developed
to use them. The Committee is deeply grateful to Mr. James E. Walter of
the Missions Council for his splendid co-operation and to Mr. Timberlake for
his untiring interest and advice. Indeed, by this re-interpreting of missions
the people of our churches shall be awakened and we shall rise to new heights
in our missionary interests.
At the request of Dr. Denison, chairman of Christian Stewardship in the
General Council, the following recommendation was made to and approved
by the Board of Trustees: That a Stewardship Committee of three be ap-
pointed by the President of the Conference. Rev. Harold Ockenga, Rev.
Randolph Merrill and Mrs. Percy C. Campbell were appointed.
The Committee, after considering the important place the cent-a-meal
boxes are filling in supplementing the decreased giving of our churches,
heartily commends its continued use.

Advance Reports
[1938
The Committee would call attention to the helpful literature furnished by
the State Conference office. Copies of the Guest Book Edition of the State
News were given wide circulation to the number of 25,000. This State publi-
cation, in addition to carrying valuable material about the churches of our
State, also has about one half the contents furnished by the Missions Council.
The committee feels that the State News, published ten times a year with
the subscription price of twenty-five cents, has a distinct value and that its
use should be greatly increased in all our churches. We are confident that the
answer to many of our problems in this area lies in a more diligent and con-
sistent use of missionary literature. We recommend that every subscriber to
Benevolences be urged to subscribe to this publication.

THE TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OF PASTORAL SUPPLY
The annual meeting of the Board was held June 7th and the semi-annual
meeting December 6th. The attendance respectively was 15 and 16 out of a
possible 21. The Executive Committee met December 6th and March 28th.
We regret to announce the resignation of Sargent H. Wellman, as treasurer
of the Board. He has served for four years and while he has expressed his
willingness to remain as a member of the Board, he does not feel that he can
continue the work of treasurer longer. As stated in previous reports, we are
greatly indebted to Mr. Wellman for his generous and in every way efficient
service as treasurer during these years. It has been an especial pleasure foi
the Secretary to work with him.
At the meeting of the Executive Committee March 28th, Walter H. Black
of Jamaica Plain was elected treasurer. Mr. Black is a public accountant
with offices in the Tremont Building, Boston, is treasurer of the Suffolk
South Association of Churches and Ministers and is a director of the Ameri-
can Congregational Association. He has served as superintendent of the
Sunday School and is a member of the Board of Trustees, in the Central
Church at Jamaica Plain.

Financial
As will be seen by the treasurer's report on another page, the balance at the
end of the year ($1,205.05) is less by $132.44 than the balance at the begin-
ning of the year ($1,337.49). This means that we failed to pay the expenses
of the year out of current receipts by this amount. However, the year
before there was a gain of $108.51 and this "working balance", as we call it,
of approximately $1,200 will be sufficient to tide us over until the per-capita
contributions again begin to come in from the state conferences. The loss
for the year was mainly due to a decrease of $94.52 from Massachusetts, due
to the fact that in this state we get the per-capita contribution on a pro
rata basis and if churches do not pay or if they do not pay for all their
members, we suffer our proportion of loss.
We again express our appreciation of the splendid support from the superin-
tendents and treasurers of the several state conferences. We are also a great
deal indebted to the churches and individuals which contributed a total of
$471.80 toward our budget and thereby enabled us to end our fiscal year as
well as we did.
Statistics from the Seminaries
As for the two preceding years, we have asked certain seminaries to give
us the number of their graduates who were planning to enter the Congregational
ministry. The number at Commencement, 1937, was: Andover-Newton 9,
Atlanta 4, Bangor 6, Chicago 22, Hartford 11, Harvard 2, Oberlin 5,
Pacific 1, Yale 8, Union, N.Y. 4, Total 72. (1936, 75; 1935, 70.)
The Coming General, Council At Beloit
The Commission on the Ministry is recommending that at Beloit a com-
mittee be set up which will give hearings and conduct conferences during the
Council on the problems of the ministry and will make definite recommenda-
tions with regard, at least, to (1) improving the quality of our ministry through
1938] Advance Reports 111
more careful ways of admitting men; (2) devising better principles and
methods of pastoral supply; (3) persuading churches to give a just opportunity
to mature men; and (4) re-enaction of the Oberlin Resolution on the Ministry
concerning the admission of men from other denominations. For further
details see advance reports of the Beloit meeting which will be sent to all
delegates.
Men From Other Denominations
The reason why this Board hopes that the General Council at Beloit will
re-enact in substantially its present form the resolution passed at Oberlin
concerning men coming from other denominations is that the administration
of our work is at times made practically impossible by the number of men
with whom we have to deal. Certain other denominations have a provision
whereby the number of men admitted can be regulated and made to correspond
quite closely with the need. We have no such provision. No one stands guard
over the various gates through which men come into our ministry and sug-
gests to men that they ought not to come in because they will be crowding-
too much the men already in. So far as men from other denominations are
concerned, the trouble is that the stream is very largely in our direction. If
anything like the number of men went from us to other denominations that
come to us, the situation would be very different. We must not be sectarian
but we must not allow ourselves ta get into an increasingly hopeless and
complex situation.
Interstate and Intersection Changes
A question which this office and every state office has to face is — shall
churches of a state be encouraged to choose their ministers only from within
the state .^ Shall New England churches be encouraged to choose men only
from within New England.'' Even if this office and the state offices believed
that such a procedure was wholly desirable, it would obviously be impossible
to conduct our work on such a closed shop principle. The churches would
not stand for it. However, it is the practice of the New England superin-
tendents so far as we have observed and it is the practice of this office to
try to see that the ministers of a state shall have a wholly fair chance at
the churches of that state and that New England ministers shall have a fair
chance at the churches of New England. So far as we can, we are working
to overcome whatever tendency there may be on the part of churches to look
far afield before they take account of the material nearby. This is a dif-
ficult problem but we are trying to be alert to it.
Securing Just, Reliable, and Adequate Information
About Ministers and Churches
The difficulty here is not at all confined to the particular field in which
we have to work. It is a difficulty that inheres in human frailty and human
limitations. On the one side are the ministers who are afraid that if any-
thing at all critical is said about them, it will be magnified by a church
committee and they will lose their opportunity at that particular church. On
the other hand are the church committees which look askance at a record which
is 100% favorable, and which feel that our practice of securing information
78 Advance Reports [1938
mainly from sources which have been given to us by the ministers unduly
weights our records in favor of the ministers. Once in a while a church com-
mittee refuses to use our material at all because they think it is so weighted.
It may be that in that very case the minister concerned thinks that he has lost
the church because there was something unfavorable to him in the record we
sent! Well, the only thing to do is to make the utmost effort to get at the truth.
That is what the churches want. That is what every minister should want.
He should be willing to stand by his record, honestly investigated, honestly
set forth and honestly judged. So far as this Board is concerned, it must
patiently and unremittingly seek to develop methods and attitudes by which
exactly this shall be done with regard not only to ministers but also to
churches, which must stand on their records in their appeal to worthwhile men.
The Situations of Individual Men
At our annual meeting in June the Secretary read to the Board an account
of a single day in the office, showing the diversity of the problems dealt with
in personal interviews and in correspondence. We wish that we could do more
to relieve individual situations, the seriousness of which sometime seems
overwhelming. However, not infrequently the solving of a given situation
in a happy way brings encouragement. It not only brings encouragement
to those who administer the work of this Board but it may well bring en-
couragement to others whose situations have not yet been solved. Patience
must have its perfect work although it should never degenerate into passivity
or indifference.
For the Board,
Charles C. Merrill, Secretary.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PREACHING MISSION
This committee, which has been in existence for three years, was created
for a definite and limited purpose. The idea of the preaching mission had
been sponsored by the General Council, and it seemed wise to the Conference
to develop the idea within the Commonwealth.
During the past year the Committee has printed some literature, especially
a booklet which sets forth very clearly the aims and methods of the preaching
mission. Under the direction of the commmittee two Retreats for our ministers
were held, one in the Eastern part of the state at Adelynrood and the other
at Northfield. These retreats were simple in program, with a large participa-
tion by the ministers present; they were genuine in fellowship and rich in
devotion. The judgment was that they were very much worth while.
The unique setting at Adelynrood caused many of the men there to suggest
that it would be of great value if the State Conference could have a similar
place set apart for religious devotion where groups of our ministers and laymen
and women might gather for a few days' quietness and meditation.
During the past year missions have been held at:
BOSTON, Dorchester Village
EA3THAMPT0N
EASTON
ESSEX
GEORGETOWN
GROTON
HAVERHILL, Riverside
MERRIMAC
NORTHAMPTON, Edwards
WHITMAN
WORCESTER, Bethany
Among the men who have served as missioners have been:
Dr. Robbins W. Barstow
Rev. Kenneth D. Beckwith
Rev. Charles M. Crooks
Rev. Paul S. McElroy
Rev. Earl R. Steeves
Rev. Olin B. Tracy
Rev. Lionel A. Whiston
A few comments from the churches where these missions have been held
suggest how valuable they have been:
"This is just to thank you for securing for our Preaching
Mission. He did a splendid job in opening up the meaning as well
as the significance of the Christian life in the modern world."
"Our people here certainly enjoyed the Preaching Mission. We
appreciate your part in it, especially in sending us
He was very fine and went out with me making calls on the
people in the parish. ..... The services were all well attended."
1938] Advance Reports 81
"I want to thank you for sending to us to be the
Missioner at our Preaching Mission. What a fine spirited man he is!
And what a sane, wholesome message he brought to us! We feel
that the influence of the services, directly and indirectly, has been
widely felt in our church and community."
"The Preaching Mission was an interesting and valuable experience.
The response was good. There were many expressions of appreciation
The church seems to be in good condition, and there
is a fine group of loyal supporters, but like so many churches of
that type there is needed the spark of enthusiasm and the quickening
of the Spirit."
"We have been more than pleased with his preaching and his fine
spirit. He far exceeded all our expectations. We are indeed indebted
to his church for releasing him for the week Our atten-
dance for the preaching mission this year has been much larger
than last year's. We feel that a substantial foundation has been
made for the continuation of these annual preaching missions
We are already looking forward to the preaching mission
for 1939."
At a meeting of the committee held in March those present came to the
following conclusions:
The committee in its present form has done its work and a recommendation
should be made to the Trustees that it be discontinued.
A committee on Evangelism and the Devotional Life should be created
by the State Conference to carry on in a larger way the work that this
committee has been trying to do. It was recognized that the word
"evangelism" has certain connotations which make it objectionable to some.
Yet since it is used by the General Council it seems wise to use it in the state.
The fund for the use of the Committee on Preaching Mission which was
voted at Newburyport and of which some $600. remains should be given to
this committee to be used by it, or by the President of the State Conference,
for the cultivation of the spiritual life of our ministry and our churches,
through preaching missions and through retreats.
The members of the committee expressed their convictions that any spiritual
advance in our churches must come through a deepening of the life of our
ministry. When our church leaders become more mightly men of God, then
our church members will catch a new spirit. It was suggested that twice
a year, once early in the fall and again a short time before Lent, the ministers
of the state be gathered in small groups of ten or twelve for a day of thought-
fulness and heart-searching.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STEWARDSHIP
The Committee on Stewardship is a new committee recently appointed. The
chairman calls attention to this fact because of the few recommendations
it is ready to submit to the churches. Two meetings have been held in
which the members of the committee sought a common ground of authoritative
teaching concerning stewardship and the Christian's whole attitude toward
finances. It was believed that such a basis might be very suggestive as to the
church's method of approaching the question of stewardship.
The committee is certain that the Christian practice of liberal giving haa
partly broken down. All reports reveal this. Basic conceptions must be
renewed. Giving must be re-established as an integral part of the spiritual
life and as an inexorable law of spiritual growth both for the individual and
the church. Practical programs will be suggested later. Fundamental con-
ceptions are important now.
The convictions of the committee were that the Bible as the Word of God
must be the source of any standard. If the committee itself suggested any
standard, it could have no possible weight but that of our opinion or ex-
perience. Any other man or group of men may place the same authority
on his experience and opinion. On the other hand, the Bible contains a
body of teaching on the subject of giving and that teaching has weight with
the laymen. We must return to a clear presentation of Biblical stewardship.
The committee believes that it is primarily the task of the minister to
preach and practice this truth of Scripture. It must be preached as privilege
and as precept, without which a life is not pleasing to God. The key to the
financial situation is in the hands of the ministers.
As practical objectives the Stewardship Committee proposes to make an
exposition of this teaching on giving available to ministers and young people's
groups, to promote stewardship study, to foster a convenient meeting in
connection with the Conference, and to organize the Tithers of Congrega-
tionalism.

REPORT OF LAYMEN'S COMMITTEE
The Laymen's Committee" has held four meetings at which it has discussed
objectives and plans. We have continued the policy of last year of encourag-
ing each Association to make constitutional provision for a Laymen's Com-
mittee as an integral unit of the Association organization.
Our method has been to set up in an unorganized Association a conference
of laymen, whom the pastors have named as key men in their Churches, at
which would be discussed the work of men in the local Church and the
aims and value of a Laymen's Committee in the Association. Such a con-
1938J Advance Reports 83
ference is a demonstration of the kind of get-togethers that an Association
committee might helpfully conduct occasionally to promote fellowship among
the men of the Association and to stimulate a greater sense of responsibility
not only for the work of the local Church but also for our whole denomina-
tional enterprise.
So far as we have received information, eight Associations have organized
Laymen's Committees and at least three are taking definite steps in that
direction. Some of these Committees have conducted Supper Conferences
for men in connection with their regular Association meetings, others on
nights when they might spend the whole evening together. At the conferences
set up by our state committee, we have spent Sunday from four to eight
o'clock, with such topics as. The Work of the Deacon, Men and the Church
School, Men's Clubs and Classes, Church Finances and Business Problems,
and the Objectives and Methods of the Laymen's Movement. The Conference
has usually closed with a Communion Service.
Our Committee plans to emphasize next year the opportunities and methods
that Association Committees may pursue to make their work effective. To
develop these plans co-operatively, we may plan a state-wide conference
for all Committeemen. We wish that before that time Association officers
in Associations that have not yet organized Laymen's Committees might
take the initiative in getting their appointment and notifying our state office.
Our Committee is anxious to meet its quota of thirty-one delegates from
Massachusetts to the week-end Laymen's Conference at the Isles of Shoals,
August 12 - 14 at which the Committeemen of New England will plan for
more aggressive co-operative effort. We also look upon the plan of our
national Laymen's Committee for the promotion of a national Laymen's
Fellowship, as an integral part of our effort to arouse new interest on the
part of Christian Laymen in their own Churches and their denominational
enterprises. Our new book of reference, "Men and The Church", is the
official source of information concerning the aims and motives of this quiet
movement among our Congregational men in which there is much promise
and concerning which our Church people, including the Clergy, should be
informed.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
ON THE
RELATION OF CHURCHES AND COLLEGES
Our report seems to divide itself into three divisions.
I. The Student Christian Movement.
The presence of the young and active Student Christian Movement in
our schools and colleges opens a door of opportunity in two directions.
1. The importance of ministers, churches and Young People's Societies
sending the names of school graduates to the Student Christian Movement
leaders in our colleges, that they may welcome these new arrivals upon the
campus, and introduce them to the Christian activities in the college life.
2. The Student Christian Movement should be alert to discover more
ways of serving the churches, and of turnmg more graduates back into the
churches, and to its services and ministry.
II. Faculty Members Helping In Church Programs.
Besides a good deal of speaking in our church programs by college pro-
fessors, which is all to the good, your committee felt that there might be
a place for distinctly Christian men and women on our college faculties,
who love the church and are interested in its welfare, to render a little more
intimate service, which would very decidedly warm the hearts of our
church people toward our colleges. For example, if the little church at
the cross-roads knows that Professor A., who is coming to speak to them
(no matter what his subject is) is not only an expert in his department,
but is also a warm-hearted Christian and an earnest worker in his local
church, there is established at once a bond of sympathy between him and
his hearers. The better church people will appreciate the fact that he is
not only interested in education, but that he also shares with them a sense
of responsibility for preparing our youth for moral leadership in the world
of tomorrow.
By correspondence with members of the faculties of our western Massa-
chusetts colleges, we found that these professors, almost without exception,
were in hearty accord with our idea. While many were carrying too heavy
schedules to be able to respond, more than a dozen have indicated their
willingness to share, as far as time and other duties permit, in this mission
of good-will to the churches. The churches should always expect to pay
the speaker's expenses. The list is being sent to our Conference office
with the suggestion that mimeographed copies of the same be sent to those
churches which are located where they would most naturally aval them-
selves of these speakers.
III. A Congregational Worker Among the Students at Ami-jerst.
It has been a matter of common observation and frequent commi^nt that
the Episcopal Church has been doing very good work in college towns.
The result has come through very careful planning by a National Committee
on Student Work. For years they have had regular meetings of the plan-
ning group; have issued special publicity; have sent some of their best and
most attractive young clergymen into college parishes; and by special
1938] Advance Reports 85
funds of money have sometimes subsidized the work among college students.
As compared with this definite and long term policy, we Congregationalists
have been very casual and followed a hand-to-mouth policy.
Your committee, several of whom have been very familiar with conditions
at Amherst for many years, have been making a new study of the situation
as it exists today. Our findings are as follows: about one-third of the
students at Amherst College are Congregationalists or Presbyterians by
membership or preference. Nearly the same condition holds at the Massa-
chusetts State College.
The presence of all these Congregational students places upon us a
responsibility to do what we can for them. The unanimous opinion of those
who know the situation best, seems to favor securing a young theological
graduate to work among them. The leaders of the First Congregational
■Church in Amherst, faculty members in that church, and this committee
are favorable to such an undertaking. Even people outside our denomina-
tion, who have Intimate knowledge of conditions in Amherst, say without
hesitation, that as Congregationalists, we ought to have a young man,
associated with the pastor of our First Church, whose special field would
be work among the students.
The present leadership of the First Church makes this a most opportune
time to launch such an undertaking. Rev. Raymond A. Waser, the new
minister of that church, is a young man about thirty years old. His preach-
ing is attracting many students from both colleges. The demands of his
large parish make it impossible to spend much time in individual work
with students. A young theological graduate of the right type could profit-
ably employ all his time in work with our Congregational students in
Amherst College and at Massachusetts State College and in heading up
student work at the First Church. Furthermore, the First Church is the
only Congregational Church situated near enough to the college to render
this service.
While it is beyond the provmce of this committee to work out a plan
to finance such a worker, we have considered that phase of the question;
and without elaborating our reasons, we have come to the conclusion that
Tiis salary should be borne by the First Church in Amherst, and by the
State Conference. If that were true, he would be free to promote, not
only discussion groups, but also church attendance, and other church affilia-
tions of one kind or another, in whatever way would be most helpful to
the Congregational students of either college. The financing of the modest
salary of a young theological graduate of the right type to do this work
ought not to be difficult.
We earnestly recommend that the State Conference undertake this task,
partly as an experiment in a more complete and more personal Christian
^service to college students. And we further recommend that Rev. Raymond
A. AVaser, pastor of the First Church in Amherst, and Prof. S. R. Williams
of Amherst College, and Rev. George A. Tuttle, Field Secretary of our State
Conference, be appointed to serve as a committee to bring this to pass.
Respectfully Submitted:
Robert M. Bartlett John A. Hawley
Margaret R. Hamlin David R. Porter
Garrett V. Strtker
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Thirteen cents per member is still asked of the
ch lurches. Seven cents of the thirteen goes to the General Council (formerly The
National Council) and six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of the
six cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organization to
pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
pair is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.
86
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements with
the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part of their
property to be apphed to our work after their death, and desire an assured income
from this property for themselves, or for others whom they may designate as
beneficiaries, so long as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning
such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for the benefit of
churches. Many churches have put their trust funds in the care of the Conference.
It is now administering trust funds for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of
over $528,000. If any extra expense is incurred (except for legal service, for ex-
ample) that is charged against the principal or income of the fund involved. Funds
which have been committed to our care have earned about 4.4% this last year.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up for the most
part of persons who have had little experience in adminstering funds, to guard the
safety of chiu-ch trust funds. The Conference has exceptional facilities for keeping
funds safely and investing them profitably and wisely. The Board of Trustees of
the Conference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large ability and
experience in such matters. The churches may avail themselves of the service of
this ability and experience without expense.

the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Missionary Committee of the local Association of
Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the President or Secre-

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with thenamesof officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council;
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are self-
evident. "W. C," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 1938. Admissions
and removals cover the year 1937. "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females"
and "total," butinoludedin them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of oflSeers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1938, or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained' ' denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i" ; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r,"; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by council, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but means "no report ;
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" home department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk* indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year oSers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.

ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever In these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational piinciples, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Each evangelical Congregational church in this Common-
wealth or Christian church that is a member of a Congregational-Christian Asso-
ciation of churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom
it is suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officio)
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus) , the committee members
of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life mem-
bers of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting
membership of the Conference; it is provided, however, that pastors of churches to
qualify for the voting privilege shall be Congregational or Christian ministers
having membership in Congregational or Congregational-Christian Associations
regularly holding ministerial standing.
139
140 By-Laws [1938
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons

chosen.
2. The executive officers of the Conference shall be a President, a Secretary, a

The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from which

Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a
candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such candidate should be
a minister, a layman or a laywoman, and the names of such candidates shall be
reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the

3. "The Open Door Church," First Church.
At 10:00 o'clock the Conference was opened with a Service of
Worship led by the Chaplain.
It was
VOTED: That the meeting would recess at 12:15 for the luncheon under the
auspices of the Committee on Moral and Social Welfare.
Dean Sperry then gave the second of his addresses: "The Fore-
ground of American Christianity."
It being observed that there had been an oversight in not filling
certain vacancies on the Nominating Committee it was
VOTED: That the filling of such vacancies be left to the Trustees.
Mrs. Adolph G. Ekdahl, the new Secretary of Woman's Work,
was introduced and spoke briefly.
It was
VOTED: That the Conference accept the invitation of the Central Church,
Worcester, which had been endorsed by the Worcester Central Association, to hold
the 1940 Annual Meeting in that church.
Upon recommendation of the Board of Trustees it was
VOTED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society cooperate in the plans of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, and if their
plans materialize, hold the next Annual Meeting in 1940 in Worcester, in conjunc-
tion with other denominations.
It was recommended by the Business Committee that the
Treasurer of the State Conference be directed to obtain and keep
on file a record of the allotment payments of the individual
churches of the Conference, classified by associations; and it was
so voted.
The Business Committee also recommended that the General
Council be memorialized in favor of the discontinuance in the
Year-Book of the column relating to absent members; also that
in view of the present confusion with reference to allotment pay-
ments, the officers of the several Associations be hereby urged to
secure, as far as possible, full payment from all the churches; also
that a special committee of fifteen members be appointed by the
Moderator to make a study of the whole question of allotment
and of establishment of a uniform basis for reporting and publish-
1939] Minutes 2&
ing membership data, said committee to report its recommienda-
tions at the next Annual Meeting of the Conference.
Rev. Edward M. Condit of Needham moved that in view of
the uncertainty and confusion over this matter of the per capita
tax, a special committee of seven members be elected by the
Conference to study the matter of income and expenditure of
the State Conference and that the following seven be elected:
Mr. Frank E. Bridgman, Rev. J. Burford Parry, Rev. William F.
English, Rev. Clement F. Hahn, Mr. Elliott V. Grabill, Mr.
Lucius E. Thayer, Rev. Mark Strickland.
The Moderator ruled that Mr. Condit's motion, under the By-
Laws, could not be acted upon until referred to the Business
Committee.
It was then
VOTED: That the four recommendations already presented by the Business;
Committee, together with Mr. Condit's motion, go to the Business Committee for
further consideration and that they report at the afternoon session at 3:30.
The Business Committee then presented the following resolu-
tion:
Resolved: That for the present year, where an association or a church has changed,
or changes, its method of calculating the allotment per capita from the basis of total
membership, as set forth in the statistical tables in the Conference Minutes and Re-
ports for 1938, pages 99-115, inclusive, to that of resident membership, as deter-
mined by the clerks of the individual churches, an addition shall be made of one
cent per member for the Conference and one cent per member for the General
Council.
Mr. Cooper of Campello moved, as a substitute for the fore-
going, that for the present year the allotment per capita be upon
the total membership as reported in last year's records and sta-
tistical tables. Before action could be taken on this motion, the
Conference, according to its previous vote, recessed at 12:15.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
At 2:00 o'clock, following a brief musical service. Dean Sperry
gave his third address entitled, "The Genius and Present Oppor-
tunities of Congregationalism." At the close of Dean Sperry's
address, the Conference arose spontaneously and applauded at
length. The Moderator, addressing him, stated that the applause
and the close attention paid him must have convinced him that
the members had followed him with joy and great appreciation
as he led them up pleasant and illuminating slopes to a high
30 Minutes [1939
sumniit of knowledge of Congregationalism, and showed them
their "duties" as well as their "rights."
It was
Resolved: That the Conference express its appreciation of the series of addresses
given by Dean Sperry and that we recommend that excerpts from these addresses
be printed in the "Pilgrim State News," and we express the hope that they may be
subsequently published in full.
Dean Emeritus Charles R. Brown of Yale Divinity School pre-
sented forcefully the Debt of Honor Campaign.
At 3:30, the Business Committee reported that Mr. Cooper,
with the consent of his second, agreed to a merging of his ideas
expressed in his motion to amend, with the following resolution:
Owing to the present financial stringency in our State Conference
Be It Resolved: That the churches of the state be asked to pay their per capita
allotment on the basis of their total membership as shown in the tables of the Year
Book; and that the officers of the several associations be urged to secure, as far as
possible, full payment from all our churches. This resolution was adopted without
a dissenting vote.
The Business Committee recommended, and it was so voted,
without a dissenting vote, that a special committee of fifteen
members be appointed by the Moderator to make a study of the
whole question of allotments and of the establishment of a uni-
form basis for reporting and publishing membership data, said
committee to make recommendations at the next Annual Meeting
of the Conference.
It was suggested that the Moderator consider the appointment
of some or all of those named in Mr. Condit's resolution, which
resolution, after consideration, the Business Committee did not
present.
The Moderator has appointed the following as members of the
committee authorized by the above resolution: Rev. Clarence W.
Dunham, Chairman, Mr. Frank E. Bridgman, Mr. Myron S.
Burton, Rev. William F. English, Mr. Elliott V. Grabill, Rev.
Clement F. Hahn, Mr. Willard C. Hill, Rev. Horace F. Holton,
Mr. Roy A. Hovey, Dr. Arthur L. Miles, Rev. J. Burford Parry,
Rev. Carl F. Schultz, Rev. Mark Strickland, Mr. Lucius E.
Thayer, Rev. Harold B. White.
The Business Committee recommended, and it was so voted,
that the Woburn iVssociation be requested to reconsider the action
taken at the last meeting and ask its constituent churches to cal-
1939] Minutes 31
culate their respective allotments for payments to the State Con-
ference on the basis of the total membership as reported in the
statistical tables appearing in the Minutes and Reports of the
State Conference for 1938.
It was voted to accept and order printed the report of the
special committee appointed "to study and clarify the question
as to how far a committee appointed by the Conference can speak
and act for the Congregational-Christian Churches of the state."
•
Report of Special Committee,
Massachusetts State Conference of Congregational-Christian Churches:
"To study and clarify the question as to how far a committee appointed
by the Conference can speak and act for the Congregational-Christian
Churches of the State."
The power of action in our Congregational-Christian Churches rests, in the last
analysis, with the members of those churches. Individual Christians, gathered in
Christian fellowship into Churches, which are in turn gathered into the fellowship
of local Associations, State Conferences, and a General Council, constitute the struc-
ture of our Congregational way. All this association is on a voluntary basis, and is
only so strong as the convictions and the purposes which actuate it.
Therefore, no Committee can speak or act with authority for the Congregational-
Christian Churches, except it has behind it the general consensus of informed con-
viction.
In 1936 the General Council at Mt. Holyoke put itself on record as follows:
"Resolutions are expression of opinion only, voicing the sentiments, posi-
tive or negative, of the people supporting them."
In 1938 the Council, at its meeting in Beloit, said:
"Resolutions of the Council represent the opinions of those voting for
them and have no binding force upon the Denomination or the Churches as
such."
Committees of the Conference, therefore it would seem, on the basis of these
rulings, whether they be standing or special committees, represent, act and speak
for "the persons voting for them, and have no binding effect on the Churches of the
State, as such."
Committees of the Conference receiving specific instructions by vote of the Con-
ference, may expend funds of the Conference, but not of the Churches; may act for
the Conference delegates, but not for the Churches; may speak for the Conference,
but not for the Churches.
When Committees of the Conference appear before legislative bodies, they may
express the convictions, recorded in votes and resolutions of the Conference, or may
urge their own points of view, either as individuals, or as the committee as a whole.
32 Minutes [193&
but they may not claim to speak for the Churches of the State, except as the mind
of the Churches has been expressed in a referendum.
This is not to say that the Committees of the Conference have no task or scope
for action. The function of the Committees of the Conference is to persuade and
lead individual Christians, individual Churches, individual associations to action
based on informed conviction. Committees of the Conference may recommend to
Associations, to Churches, to Pastors, to individuals any course of action which
seems compatible to Christian conviction; but it is fruitless for a Committee to ini-
tiate actions which the majority of our Churches are not prepared to follow.
Standing Committees of the Conference should work with and through Associa-
tion Committees elected or appointed to study the work in similar fields of interest.
Only thus can the rank and file members of our Churches know what is going on in
their Associations and in the State Conference.
Your special Committee, therefore, would recommend that the various Com-
mittees of the Conference be urged to carry on their various programs of action
through the appropriate committees of the different Associations and the committees,
of the local Churches.

Ethelbert V. Grabill
Harold Edgar Martin.
The following resolutions were adopted on recommendation of
the Business Committee:
R&solved: That this Conference express its deep appreciation of Dean Brown's
addr'iess on the Debt of Honor and that as members of the Conference we recognize
the vital importance of the cause he presented and urge upon all the churches of
Massachusetts to participate in the Debt of Honor to the limit of their ability and
Be It Further Resolved: That a notice and copy of this vote of the Conference be
sent to all churches which have not yet participated.
Resolved: That the Conference express appreciation to the officers and committees
who were responsible for the arrangements for this Annual Meeting, in particular
to the committee which prepared such a splendid program. And we express thanks
to the pastor of this church. Reverend Rfiy Gibbons, and to the organist, choir,
nurse and members of the First Church, and the pastors and members of the Ed-
wards, Florfence and Easthampton churches, for their efficient preparation for these
meetings and service during the same, and for their cordial and uniform hospitality.
To the authorities of Smith College and Smith Vocational School for the use of
buildings and other facilities, to the Hampshire Male Chorus and the Northampton
High School Orchestra for inspiring music, to the local and other newspapers for
notices and reports of meetings, and to the police officers and Boy Scouts of the city,
we give sincere thanks. To the people of the community for their cooperation in
pfbviding accommodations for delegates and visitors, and to all organizations and
persons who, in any way, have contributed to the success of this gathering, we
extend hearty appreciation.

THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT
Judging from the Lenten programs and the number of accessions at Easter on
Confession of Faith, this has been a year of definite evangelical emphasis and sincere
spiritual cultivation. Reports of well planned educational programs, with emphasis
upon the place and mission of the Church come from all sections of the State.
"Madras", as well as Oxford and Edinborough, has evidently had a direct influence
upon the thinking and the effort of om- churches. We dare to believe also that the
Devotional Spirit of the Pastors' Retreat at Adelynrood, at the opening of the year
is reflected in the purposeful and progressive religious movement in so many of our
parishes.
Next Fall we hope to have four two-day Retreats for ministers, in the East,
West, South and Center of the State, with Dr. Douglas Horton as the leader. A
little later in the season with the assistance of the Commission on Evangelism of
the General Council, and as a preparation for "Preaching Missions" and preaching
with a purpose, we expect to have a series of eight "Institutes on Evangelism" in
different localities. These will be conducted by Dr. Fagley with Dr. Gaius Glenn
Atkins in part and Dr. Arthur Bradford in part. The theme will be "What to
Preach and How to Preach for a Decision." The fourteen Parish Preaching Mis-
sions held this year were occasions of real spiritual uplift. The thanks of the Con-
ference is due the busy pastors who gave of their time and strength without re-
muneration to serve in this capacity, and to their churches which released them for
this important ministry. Next year we hope to see the number and value greatly
increased.
A very practical service we have been able to render our ministers has been to
facilitate their joining the "Associated Hospital Service" or the "Blue Cross."
Eighty-three families have been enrolled through the Conference office, and we
shall be glad to help others join. New members are received in groups of five.
The most satisfying ministry this office renders is that which is given to pastors
and churches in meeting personal problems and relationships. Most of these are
confidential and none should be publicized. However, mention ought to be made
of the public recognition of the important place of the Church in the Community
and of the record of successful leadership given to five of our ministers. We have
in mind the reception tendered "the fighting parson of Revere," the Rev. Ambrose
Jenkins. The First Church refused to accept his resignation, and recalled him to
the Pastorate. Then there was the celebration of the twenty-fifth Anniversary of
Dr. John H. Quint at First Church, Chelsea, of Rev. Henry Francis Smith of West
Medford; the fortieth Anniversary of Dr. Edwin B. Robinson's Ordination and the
thirty-sixth of his pastorate at Grace Church, Holyoke, and the twenty-fifth
Anniversary of Dr. Carl M. Gates at Wellesley Hills. It is heartening to see on
such occasions how churches and communities enthusiastically voice their high
esteem of the value and influence of the Christian Ministry.

1939] Re'port of the President 35
Benevolences
We wish we might report an increase in Benevolent Giving for the past callendar
year. Instead the record shows a decrease of ten per cent. Only one Association
exceeded its giving to Missions. In Suffolk North the Apportionment rose in 1938
by 3% over 1937. The outlook for 1939 is brighter. The average gain for the first
four months has been 21%. If this can only continue our record for the present
year will be more in keeping with the needs of the State and the Boards and with
our achievements in years gone by. What an impetus would be given oiu- Benevo-
lences if only the principle and program of Systematic Giving and Stewardship
were more widely inculcated in the hearts and minds of our chiu-ch people.
Dept of Honor
You will be interested in a summary of the support in Massachusetts of the Debt
of Honor Fund. Of our 615 active churches 340 have pledged a total of $116,672.00.
Only 56% of our chiu-ches have so far participated, and in some of these cases it
has been a matter of a single individual sending in a personal contribution, but it
has been credited to the church; and only 29% of the quota for Massachusetts has
been subscribed. Connecticut has pledged 38% of its quota, and the other New
England States have also surpassed us. Let me reinforce the recommendation of
the Board of Trustees, — that as a Conference we continue to back this project
and that all our Churches join in an effort to raise at least $200,000. — 50% of the
quota originally asked of us. With 275 churches yet to respond we ought to raise
the additional $83,000.
Pastoral Changes
Some important pastoral changes have taken place during the year. Twenty-
four of our ministers have moved to new parishes within the State. Eighteen
churches have found their new ministers in other States, while fourteen ministers
have left Massachusetts. Ten Churches have called to their pulpits ministers of
other denominations. We cordially welcome all these new men to the fellowship of
this Conference. Eight pastors have resigned and are still without churches and
seventeen ministers have retired or gone into other lines of activity. Thirty-four
pulpits are vacant.
Among the ministers who have retired with honor after long and notable service
are William M. Macnair, Charles W. Merriam, William S. Anderson, Lynn V.
Farnsworth and T. Nelson Baker. With affection and esteem we would like to read
the names of those who, — from the active ministry, — have been called to the
Church Triumphant. We cherish the memory of Harry L. Coole of Rochester-
Lakeville Larger Parish, Charles S. Holton of Newbury, Arthur H. Hope of Belcher-
town, William Poor of Upton, John Rossnagle of Lynnfield Center and Charles H.
Smith of Granby.
The C. C. U.
A significant merger, which illustrates the trend toward unification of our church
agencies, has recently been consummated. The Congregational Church Union of
Boston and Vicinity has had through forty-three years an outstanding record of
36 Report of the President [1939
financial aid to churches in acquiring and maintaining their property. A proposal
came from the Directors of the Union that it should convey its property and sur-
render its responsibilities to the Conference. A Joint Committee from the two
Corporations, of which Judge Francis Nims Thompson, our Trustee from Franklin
Association, was Chairman, worked out a plan whereby without the complication
of transfers of titles and court proceedings, the desired end could be accomplished.
This solution consisted of a simplification of the organization of the Union so that
it becomes a small and self-perpetuating body, and the election of persons closely
associated with the Conference to constitute its membership. Subsequently a
special meeting of the Union adopted new By-laws and elected the following nine
persons the members and directors: Rev. Alfred J. Barnard, Rev. Lyndon S.
Beardslee, Mr. Oren C. Boothby, Mr. Myron S. Burton, Mr. Willard C. Hill,
Mr. Roy E. Hovey, Rev. Frederick H. Page, D.D., Judge Francis Nims Thompson
and Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake. The President and the Treasurer of the Confer-
ence have since been elected the President and Treasurer of the Union respectively,
while Mr. Boothby continues as the Clerk. The officers of the Conference thus
undertake a more direct relationship to the churches in their building problems.
Hurricane Aid
A venture into this field was thrust upon the Trustees and Staff after the Hurri-
cane last September. Few of our churches escaped without some injury and over
fifty were seriously damaged. A dozen of these were able of themselves to make the
necessary repairs. To a group of churches of limited resources but badly WTCcked,
the Church Building Department of the Board of Home Missions, through Dr.
William F. Frazier, has given a magnificent expression of the strength, the resources
and the fraternal interest of our Congregational Fellowship. Dr. Frazier visited
these churches with the President, made a thorough survey, offered practical sug-
gestions and recommended to his Board appropriations to thirteen of them totalling
$19,550 in outright grants, and loans at low interest rates amounting to $53,600.
Our Trustees in addition set aside $10,000 for the churches where the need of
assistance to cover the expense of repair was less than $1,000. A committee com-
posed of Willard C. Hill, Roy E. Hovey and W. W. Ollendorff was appointed to
advise with the President and Treasurer in caring for these cases. Forty churches
have been assisted with Grants and Loans totalling $11,664 and $19,400 respectively.
These figures include a special grant to Hopkinton where a complete new building
must be erected, and it was deemed wise to join with the Church Building Depart-
ment in making sure of a conditional gift of $25,000. The foregoing figures also
include some short term loans, charged to the investment account and made to
churches pending assistance from New York or the completion of their financial
campaigns. Our intention has been to distribute our aid wherever there was need
and in proportion to the individual requirements. It has been a real joy to be your
agent in expressing the good-will of the Conference toward sister churches so sud-
denly and tragically distraught, and marvelous to see the courage and the will to
survive exhibited by both pastors and people.
1939] RepoH of the Prendent 37
Steeples
Though many churches lost their steeples in the Hurricane, the Building Depart-
ment and the Conference, in making appropriations, looked upon the rebuilding of
a steeple as a luxury, which a church should undertake at its own expense. So this
costly project was left out of our calculations.
However, a Massachusetts layman, learning of our inability to provide for the
replacing of this attractive and prominent feature in New England church archi-
tecture, protested that for a Congregational church a steeple is as religiously sig-
nificant as is the altar of a Roman Catholic Church, — and this layman has given
$5,000 to the Conference to be used to help churches whose steeples were razed to
restore them, if the work can be undertaken during this year, and the steeple
replaced practically as it was originally. Several churches have accepted these
conditions. We wish, however, some other lover of the "Steepled Hills" would also
contribute to this fund so that larger individual donations might be made to
particularly needy parishes.
"News"
The Editors of the "Pilgrim State News" have maintained through the year its
high level of excellence. The great need now is for the more active co-operation of
pastors and church leaders in increasing the number of subscribers. We wish every
member of this Annual Meeting would take it upon himself to be a subscription
agent for the Conference paper. There will soon be an added attractiveness to this
monthly publication, when articles from the "Missionary Herald" are regularly
incorporated in it.
The Staff
One great pleasure of this year's activity has been the united efifort and co-opera-
tive spirit of the Executive Staff. We would note with regret the recent death of
Miss Leora M. Taft, for twenty-three years associated with the Treasury Depart-
ment of the Women's Missionary Organizations of the State, and latterly with the
Conference and with the Board of Ministerial Aid. Though not an elected officer
of the Conference, Miss Taft devoted herself, with faithfulness and cheerfulness to
the service of the churches, and won the esteem and affection of all associated with
her.
Rev. Porter Bower has undertaken his new tasks with skill and insight and is
giving helpful direction to the Pilgrim Fellowship and to the whole program of
Religious Education.
Continuing until her successor should be appointed, Mrs. Mary R. Carver is
completing her twelfth year of service with our churches, and now retires upon a
pension. Mrs. Carver has carried with fidelity and industry the responsibilities
of Secretary of the Woman's Department along with those of the Speakers' Bureau,
the Project Plan and Denominational Literature. Our gratitude and best wishes
go with her as she leaves the Staff to enjoy a well earned rest.
As the new Secretary of the Woman's Department the Trustees are nominating
Mrs. Adolph G. Ekdahl. Mrs. Ekdahl is a native of New Hampshire, a life-long
38 Report of the President [1939
Congregationalist and has been a professor of Psychology at the University of New
Hampshire. She comes highly recommended by those with whom she has been
associated in Church and Conference work in our neighboring state, and she has the
unanimous approval of the Board of Trustees.
Again this year the Trustees have given their sanction to the plan of relating the
members of the Staff to different geographical areas of the State. They are prepared
as a beginning to assign a Field Secretary to the Associations of the Southeast, —
Barnstable, Old Colony and Pilgrim; and another to the Associations of Greater
Boston, — Suffolk North, South and West and Woburn, — if and when it seems to
be financially expedient without too great a drain upon the Contingent Fund.
Retiring Trustees
May I be permitted to read in recognition of their valuable contribution to the
welfare of our churches and of the faithful discharge of their duties, the names of the
Trustees who complete their term of office with this meeting. They are: Rev.
Ernest L. Baker, Amesbury; Mrs. Luther M. Child, West Medford; Rev. John
Gratton, Pittsfield; Mr. John C. Hull, Leominster; Mr. Roy A. Hovey, Wakefield;
Dr. Arthur L. Miles, Cambridge; Mr. Wilbur E. Rowell, Lawrence; Mrs. Robert P.
Trask, Lexington; Rev. D wight L. Cart, Essex South, and our Moderator, Mr.
Ethelbert V. Grabill of Jamaica Plain, who during his term of office has been a
member of the Board. These persons have given freely of time and counsel for the
direction of the work of the Conference. We thank them !
Looking Ahead
The New England Regional Meeting of the Missions Council will be held in
Waterbury, Connecticut, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 27, 28, and 29.
These particular days of the week have been selected in order to enable laymen as
well as ministers to attend. Each of our Associations is allowed at least five dele-
gates and Association officials are requested to secure the most influential representa-
tion possible. Dr. Arthur H. Compton of Chicago, Chairman of the Layman's
Missionary Movement, will be a speaker Sunday evening.
It has been proposed that in 1940 the Annual Meetings of the several Protestant
Denominations in Massachusetts be held at the same time in Worcester. This
centrally located city has splendid facilities for such an Interdenominational gather-
ing. The Worcester Central Association and the Central Congregational Church
have invited this Conference to be their guests. If these plans are perfected we can
look forward to an inspiring demonstration of the Spirit of Unity in Protestantism
one year hence.
One thing let us do, "forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before, let us press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
It is a pleasure again after twenty years, to meet in this charmed city, imder the
shadow, or rather in the light, cast by Smith College, one of the largest resident
women's colleges in the world. The memory of Jonathan Edwards and Sophia
Smith haunts us, and the living presence of teachers and ministers laboring here
today inspires us. In Congregationalism, the church, the school and the college
have always been close companions and warm friends.
Because of the colleges and other schools of learning situated along this Connecti-
cut River, someone has wittily said that the Connecticut is the best educated river
in the world. Perhaps as a post-graduate coiu-se in the higher levels of learning, this
same river has been educated even fm-ther since 1910, by having in its pleasant
valley seven Annual Meetings of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference
and Missionary Society: two here in Northampton, two in Springfield, two in Hol-
yoke and one in Greenfield. And in 1936 the biennial meeting of our General Coun-
cil was held in South Hadley at Mt. Holyoke College.
STATISTICS OF CHURCHES, MEMBERS, Etc.
In 1910 we had 599 churches and 123,328 members, 2479 infant baptisms, 122,064
Simday School members, and 24,723 in our young people's societiejs. In 1938,
December 31, we had a gain of 15 churches, a gain of 50,027 church members, a loss
of 25,781 Simday School members and a gain of 9,366 in young people's societies.
In 1910, we had 2,479 infant baptisms, but in 1938 we had 3,767 infant baptisms,
1,288 more than in 1910.
Now to come down to recent years, comparing 1938 with 1928, we have gained
6,365 members, but lost in Sunday School membership 21,534, and gained 7,322 in
young people's societies' membership. Our churches in the calendar year '38, com-
pared with '28, received 45 fewer members on confession, but compared with 1937,
they received 433 more members on confession. This may indicate a returning to
the church.
In 1938, La this commonwealth we had 10.06% of all the Congregational churches
in the United States, 16.71% of the members, and gave 20.46% of the total appor-
tionment giving.
Of our 614 churches, 120 contributed nothing to state work, 103 contributed
nothing to national work, 99 contributed nothing to the American Board.
The Conference puts about $68,000 into state work, of which the churches give us
$31,889.
Today we have 24 churches, each with a membership of 1,000 or over. The 3
largest are in Springfield, namely, Hope, with 1,787 members. First, with 1,754, and
South, with 1,700. The entire list follows: —

Nine churches are reported as having 10 members or less; one of these reports no
members. But this same church has 25 families, some invested funds, and some
investments for the future in the form of 4 infant baptisms.

AIDED CHURCHES
In 1938, 10 fields with which the Conference cooperates financially have become
self-supporting, or else the work has been discontinued, as in case of the Lawrence
Syrian work. In this field we arranged for the two neighboring English-speaking
Congregational chm-ches to take the names and addresses of our Syrian friends, and
receive them into their parishes. A fine Christian spirit was shown among the
Syrian people and in the two churches. We made sure, also, that our faithful and
much-loved Syrian worker, Mr. Hanna Skeirik, was suitably cared for by his many
Lawrence friends. We congratulate the 9 other churches that have become self-
supporting during the year.
It is the policy of our Trustees to bring our aided churches to self-support as soon
as possible. In some cases this is plainly impossible because of the sparsely settled
area around the church, and because of no other organized religious privileges near-
by, that is, within 5 miles, or because of a greatly changed environment as in the
case of Union Church in Boston. We should be recreant to our duty if we did not
continue to assist in maintaining such work. Several fields we have aided 79, 81, 85,
92, 96, 100, 107, 110 years respectively, and in most of these I can see no hope of
independent self-support. This is a record of real missionary work, because we
expect no great financial return and no appreciable growth in state church member-
42 Report of the Secretary [193&
ship. Some of these churches may in the future be yoked with other churches near-
by, or federated with neighboring churches, or developed into Larger Parishes.
According to statistics compiled by the Massachusetts Council of Churches there
are 48 federated churches in the commonwealth, and Congregational churches are
involved in 42 of them, Methodist in 21, and Baptist in 17. This indicates our
stand in the matter of federation.
Two areas in the state are seriously considering the Larger Parish plan and
technique. This plan ofifers to the churches, especially in the open country, the
brightest hope within sight for effective Christian work, especially among the young
people. The Conference office stands ready to help toward this end in every possible
way. A genuine Larger Parish is quite different from a yoked field. It impUes a
multiple and diverse ministry and should have at least three churches, with a con-
scious community spirit pervading the entire area. I should warmly welcome any
suggestion from any interested person if he thinks that his chm-ch could be made
more effective and more comprehensive by the Larger Parish plan. The Larger
Parish is not so much a new plan or a new organization; it is a new idea, a new spirit.
And in order for it to succeed what is needed is not a new set of by laws or a few new
committees; there must be new ideas, a new vision, a new spirit.
BI-LINGUAL WORK
I recently addressed a questionnaire to our bilingual ministers, inquiring about
their use of English in their work, their young people, their cooperation in our de-
nominational missionary work, naturalization among their people, and whether the
trend in their own group is toward becoming an English-speaking chm-ch or toward
joining with some near-by English-speaking church. There seems to be no uni-
formity in their replies, because their various fields of work are so different. The
Albanians seem to be the most segregated from American people. Few of our group
in Worcester are naturalized citizens, but in recent years, the number being natural-
ized is increasing.
Rev. Max Schaff, minister of our German Church in Fitchburg, replies regarding
benevolence. "We do all we can to support missionary work, and gave the past
year $150 to the Debt of Honor and $65 to missionary apportionment."
Rev. J. M. Reis, our Portuguese minister in Lowell, replies: "We have been con-
tributing $40 yearly for Congregational missionary work. We have subscribed $20
to the Debt of Honor."
Rev. V. V. Simdelin, our Finnish minister on Cape Cod, writes: "We haven't
done very much in missionary work, but will try to do better."
Rev. O. F. Johnson of our Swedish churches in Beverly and Pigeon Cove, replies:
"The Beverly church uses English in the Sunday School, young people's societies,
and in all Sunday morning services. In Pigeon Cove, Swedish is still used in all
preaching services with the exception of one Simday evening service each month.
The natural evolution in Beverly is toward an English-speaking chiu-ch."
Rev. L. J. Pedersen of the Roxbiu-y Norwegian church writes that they use Eng-
lish in about 75% of their church work. The trend there is strong toward becoming
an English-speaking chiu-ch. Soon they will be strong enough to go on indepen-
dently.
1939] Report of the Secretary 4S
The Finns are adopting our American cultiu-e, and in their churches are making
large use of the English language, especially in their young people's work. So are
the Armenians, the Norwegians and the Swedes. In the homes these various lan-
guage groups use their parental languages for the most part. Some of our ministers
teach the children their parents' languages, so that they may interpret for their
parents when necessary; and also and especially that the parental culture may be
transmitted through the children to this, their adopted country. In music, art,
culture, architecture, literature, and emphatically in Christian faith, in Christian
endm-ance under suffering and persecution, in single hearted devotion to the chm-ch
of Christ, these strangers and pilgrims, and in some cases refugees from Europe, if
shown a friendly and understanding spirit as brothers in Christ, will enrich and
invigorate our own religious and cultural life.
It is interesting to note that the Massachusetts Baptist Convention give to their
bi-lingual work $17,967 among Italian, French, Russian, Portuguese and Filipino
peoples here in this state. There are 334 Baptist churches in the state convention.
This is equivalent to $53.70, on the average, from each of their churches, which
corresponds to an average of $40.70 for our work from each of our 614 Congrega-
tional chm-ches. The several Methodist Conferences put about $17,000 into similar
work in Massachusetts.
We make a tragic mistake if we neglect these interesting people from abroad.
They have much to give us. We are under a heavy Christian obligation to them.
We are members one of another. They and their children comprise 65% of the
people of Massachusetts. Our General Council allots three times as large a mission-
ary apportionment percentage to our American Board for these and other peoples
in their native lands, as we allot to the entire missionary work in this common-
wealth. The Portuguese in distant Africa, the Greek and the Armenian in the Near
East, the Chinese in far away China, the Albanian in his stolen homeland, the Ger-
man and the Italian in their enslaved coimtries, these all at a distance appeal to us
and enchant us even to tears. The farther away they are the greater the appeal and
the enchantment. But let them move into our neighborhood, and at once we pack
our trunks and we move to Brookline or Winchester, or Newton, or to Longmeadow
or West Springfield. I plead with you to befriend these same people when, through
the mystery of God, they seek the peace, the freedom and the Christian privileges
that America affords. The Masons, ovir friends the Roman Catholics, the Commu-
nists, are looking after the children of these foreign-born parents and are tying to-
gether two or three generations of them into the bonds of brotherhood and com-
radeship. I want the church of the living Christ not to follow at a distance, but
to lead the world and show our brethren in the fraternal orders, in the great church
of Rome, and in Communism what is the length and breadth and height of the love
of Christ.

54 Report of the Treasurer [1939
Ralph M. Timberlake, Esq., President,
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts.
Sir:
We have audited the accounts of the Treasurer of the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference and Missionary Society and of the Massachusetts Congrega-
tional Conference and Missionary Society, Trustee, for the year ending March 31,
1939, and we report that income receivable from invested funds and all other
income as shown by the books of the Society have been accounted for; that
we have seen paid checks or other evidence of pajonent for aU disbiu-sements;
that we have verified the possession of the securities representing the invested
funds at March 31, 1939; that the cash in banks and office at March 31, 1939,
has been verified, and that, in our opinion, the accompanying financial state-
ments correctly exhibit the condition of the Funds Ln the hands of the Society
as at the close of business on March 31, 1939, and the Treasurer's transactions
during the year ending at that date.
Respectfully submitted,
PATTERSON, TEELE & DENNIS

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The committee has held five meetings during the year. It has had four sub-
committees on Children's Work, Young People's Work, Summer Conferences, and
Leadership Training, respectively, which have held numerous other meetings. Two
main objectives have been adopted for the year's work: (1) To help ministers and
churches to discover the values of the educational approach in all their activities,
(2) To promote the use of the booklet "A Parish Program of Christian Education"
as a means of developing and strengthening the educational program of the churches.
The committee has enjoyed the close cooperation and interest of the Department
of Woman's Work. Mrs. Field, Chairman of the Education Committee of that de-
partment has been a member of the committee and other officers have attended its
meetings and shared in its plans.
The "Parish Program" has been presented by the Secretary of Young People's
Work and other members of the committee at twelve association meetings at several
of which this was made the main feature of the program.
The committee devoted its March meeting to a discussion of the "Program of
Progress" developed and launched by the Division of Christian Education of the
Home Board as a national plan for all our churches. It is similar to the Massachu-
setts Parish Program, with these five main emphases for the year: E^nowing and
Using the Bible, Christian Family Life and Church Cooperation, Reaching the Un-
reached, Our World-Wide Responsibility, and More and Better Workers for the
Church. The committee finds in this plan not a competitive, but a cooperative
measure, largely an outgrowth of our state plan, which will be of great value to our
churches. It approves and indorses the Program of Progress and recommends to the
Trustees and the State Conference and Missionary Society that this program be
adopted by them and recommended to the churches of the state.
The Young People's Work has centered in the promotion and development of the
Massachusetts Pilgrim Fellowship, the organization, purpose, and plans of which
are fully described in the booklet with this title, obtainable through the state office.
Rev. Paul S. McElroy was elected as the Adviser for the Fellowship. The activities
of this movement may be summarized as follows: a meeting of the Massachusetts
Pilgrim Fellowship Council at Edgemere Lodge, in October, at which plans and
methods were discussed and five projects adopted for recommendation to the young
people's groups; the state Pilgrim Fellowship work; the Massachusetts Conference
and Missionary Society; St. Mark Colored Church in Boston; Pleasant Hill Acad-
emy, Tennessee; and a China project. Information regarding these projects has
been prepared by the executive committee of the Fellowship and furnished to the
young people's organizations, and other plans have been carried out with the purpose
of making the young people of the state better acquainted with our entire work. A
meeting was held in February for the young people's leaders of Boston and vicinity
for the further study of the projects and other work; and a similar meeting is to be
held in connection with the Annual Meeting in May, for the leaders in that part of
the state.
Through the cooperation of the Division of Christian Education a student worker,
Mr. Kenneth Clinton, of Andover-Newton Theological School, has been at work
during the year, visiting young people's groups on Sunday afternoons and evenings,
for the purpose of explaining the purposes and methods of the Fellowship, and as-
sisting these groups in the development of their work.
56 Advance Reports [1939
Summer Conferences. The first Pilgrim Fellowship summer conference was held
last Jime, at the Massachusetts State College campus in Amherst. The attendance
was 258, 58 more than had been expected. A varied and attractive program was
carried out under the direction of Rev. Ray Gibbons, as Dean, and a strong faculty.
Receipts from registration fees and other items were $672 and the expenses $580,
leaving a balance of $92 on hand. Because of the number wishing to attend which
is in excess of available accommodations, it was decided to hold two sessions in 1939;
June 25- July 2, with Mr. Gibbons as Dean; and July 2-9 with Dr. Henry David
Gray as Dean.
The committee has continued its former work in the general promotion of summer
conferences, sending to all pastors in the state a schedule of the various conferences
available to our churches, together with bulletins or other printed matter furnished
by each conference for this purpose.
Children's Work. Mrs. Franklin G. Field was appointed as the member of the
committee with special responsibility for Children's Work and has worked in co-
operation with Miss Widber of the Division of Christian Education.
Leadership Training. A questionnaire was prepared and sent out to the churches
of the state by Mr. Vinie in the effort to discover existing conditions with reference
to educational leadership, the felt needs, and ways in which the committee might
help to meet these. A report of progress has been made and Mr. Vinie is continuing
this study.
Work of the Secretary. At the last state conference meeting Rev. Porter Bower
was engaged to give one-third of his time to the work of Young People's Secretary
for the state conference, the remainder of his time being occupied with the pastorate
of the Beachmont Church. He has made contacts with seventeen associations by
attending their meetings, holding conferences with association committees and
groups, conferences and correspondence with individuals, setting up institutes and
other meetings, and various other activities. He has been the executive officer of the
Committee on Religious Education, attending its meetings and carrying on the de-
tails of its work. The committee expresses its appreciation of Mr. Bower's energy
and skill in these activities. It is remarkable that so much has been accomplished
in the amount of time that he has been able to give under the terms of his engage-
ment, but it is very evident that the leadership of religious educational work in such
a conference as this calls for the services of a full time secretary.
In view of the relationship of this office to the Committee on Religious Education
and the comprehensive nature of the work involved, the Committee recommends to
the Trustees and to the Conference that the By-Laws be so changed as to make the
title of this officer Secretary of Religious Education instead of "Secretary of Young
People's Work."

REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF MINISTERIAL AID
for the Year 1938
The Executive Committee of the Board of Ministerial Aid submitted to the
Annual Meeting of the Board held on January 26, 1939 the following report:
The Executive Committee has held frequent meetings at the call of the Chairman
during the year. All business has been transacted with the full knowledge of the
entire Committee. Our Clerk, Miss Leora M. Taft, who has given many years of
faithful service was handicapped in carrying out her work during the last part of the
year by severe illness. Miss Pauline Culter, of the Conference OflBce, has ably
assisted in the emergency. Miss Taft's knowledge of the work of the Board has been
invaluable to the Committee, even though she was unable to do much of the work.
On January 1st, 1938, we had a "family" of 35 ministers, 39 widows, 2 single
women and 3 children. (A) (Death has claimed 5: Reverend WiUiam A. White,
Reverend Amasal Fay, Reverend John B. Carruthers, Mrs. Fannie B. Dyer and
Mrs. Phoebe Williams.) Two asked to be released for 1938. The names of 2 children
were also taken from the list, they having grown to manhood and womanhood. (A)
8 were added to the list. Thus, January 1, 1939, the "family" numbers:
34 ministers
41 widows
2 single women
1 child
78 in all
There has been distributed as follows :
Regular aid .' $14,113.50
Christmas gifts 2,302.72
Emergency gifts 2,140.00
Total $18,556.22
Twenty-eight persons were aided from the Emergency Fund. In all, about 115
persons were made happier by the gifts of 1938. The norm for Christmas distribu-
tion this year was $45 for men and $34 for women.
The following table is of interest:

REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON POLITY AND STANDARDS
FOR THE MINISTRY
The Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry, elected at the 1938
Annual Meeting of the State Conference, in Dedham, has held five meetings, three
by itself, one with the Congregational students of Andover Newton Seminary, and
one with the Association representatives, held in Worcester. We again cooperated
with Andover Newton in a "Pastors' Day-a-Week Course."
One of the important functions of the Committee during the past year was in
regard to conferences held with the Congregational students at Andover Newton
Theological School on October 18, 1938. With evident mutual helpfulness a large
nmnber of students and the Committee discussed numerous special problems and
general ministerial standards.
On February 20, 1939, the Committee met with the Scribes and Chairmen of the
Credentials Committees from the Associations, at the Chestnut Street Church in
Worcester, for the purpose of studying the findings of the Commission on Ministry
of the General Council, as reported by Dr. Hartshorne, and to discuss ways and
means of arriving at a uniform procedure in the licensing and ordaining of men to
the Congregational and Christian ministry. Upon invitation of the "Pilgrim State
News" the report of the Worcester conference was published in the May issue.
Your Committee offers the following recommendations, to be presented at the
Annual Meeting of the State Conference in Northampton:
1. That the "Pastors' Day-a-Week Courses" be continued in the fall of 1939.
2. That the Association Committees on Credentials and Association Scribes
study carefully the findings of the Worcester conference published in the May
issue of the "Pilgrim State News."
3. That the Association Committees on Credentials keep in touch with the Con-
ference Committee on PoUty, which stands ready to assist, particularly in
border-line cases.
4. That the work begun by our Committee relative to establishing more uniform
procedure in the licensing and ordaining of Congregational ministers in the
State be continued next year.

REPORT OF THE MORAL AND SOCIAL
WELFARE COMMITTEE
Civil Liberties
Civil Liberties has become a respectable issue during the last twelve months;
thanks to a host of local, state, and national committees working for the rights of
individual liberty and the rights of minority groups. The healthy reaction against
Facism and Nazism has aided the cause of Civil Liberties by identifying them with
the American Way. Our Committee suggests that the slogan on the coin "Liberty
and In God We Trust" is a cause which calls forth the support of Christian people.
We recommend that by letter to our legislators and by joining with groups organized
for preservation of Civil Liberties, we can not only maintain the American Ideal,
but further the Christian Cause.
We recommend for information and speakers: —
The Civil Liberties of Massachusetts,
73 Tremont Street, Boston, Room 322,
Miss Joan Hopkinson, Secretary.
Rev. Edward M. Condit, Chairman.
Racial Relations and Minorities
Racial and minority problems within the Massachusetts Commonwealth are a
reflection of the same tensions abroad and in other sections of this country. The
sub-committee on race relations and minority groups observes that increasingly the
matter of minority and of racial status is being brought before the attention of Chris-
tians everywhere. Present manifestations of race ideology abroad have already
crept into this country, complicating an already vexatious problem. Recognizing
that these doctrines carry with them the certain denial of human rights and the
destruction of human liberties, we recommend to the members of our fellowship:
That Christians everywhere maintain vigilance and alertness to combat and to
recognize all the various forms of insidious propaganda which divide mankind un-
equally and violate the spirit and teaching of Jesus.
That we seek to put fresh content and meaning into the doctrine of human broth-
erhood as a reasonable and simple means of establishing the truth of the unity of
mankind.
That to aid in the security, and to enhance the scope of opportunity of every race
and minority group within our Commonwealth we lay increased stress upon the value
and sacredness of the individual personality.
That as a further aid toward the establishment of such security and opportunity
of men everywhere we turn the spotlight upon all forms of intolerance and stress
anew the importance of tolerance in our American democracy; and the place which
breadth of spirit had in the life and teachings of our Master.
For speakers interpreting the ideals, experiences, accomplishments of the Negro,
we recommend:

Economic Plebiscite
We helped promote the Economic Plebiscite. There appeared to be real interest
especially among the young people. There were panel discussions, forums, lectures,
and study classes. The results indicate that our people are just beginning to appre-
ciate what Christianity means if we are to establish His Kingdom here on earth.

Birth Control League
Clinical help for mothers in need of contraceptive advice is still unavailable in
Massachusetts. The Birth Control League has not given up hope that the anti-
quated State law may be reinterpreted and eventually be rewritten. The League
needs the financial and moral support of new members throughout the State. The
League needs more opportunities to present to Church groups, to Men's and
Women's Clubs a dramatic story. The story concerns thousands of men and women
who want healthy, well-nourished children; who want the privilege of voluntary
parenthood which is already available to those who can afford the services of a
private physician.

Mrs. Lucius Thayer, Chairman.
International Relations
The attitude of the whole committee on this subject is expressed in the following
statement:
We all want peace. We believe in democracy, the principles of collective security
and a truly democratic league of nations with police powers under a World Court.
We believe that the fate of our nation is bound up with that of the rest of the world.
We recognize that the basic causes of war are economic and that together with the
effort to create world economic justice we must Christianize our own economic order.
We believe that the Neutrality Law should be so amended that any nation violating
a treaty to which we are a party should be named an aggressor and economically out-
lawed. We are in accord with the efforts of the Council of Social Action and urge
all of our churches to use the excellent study material which it is issuing on the sub-
ject of International Relations.

Anti-Gambling
Rev. Edward C. Field of Marshfield, who has become an expert in handUng the
gambling problem in the State has prepared for this committee a report on the
technique which has been used with success in defeating the promoters of dog racing
in certain communities in the State. We can do no better than to refer the ministers
and lay people of the churches to him for a solution of any problem of this character
which may arise in their community. He is working in close cooperation with the
Anti-Gambling Association.

Liquor Control
The animated discussion and request for action which came from the floor of the
State Conference Meeting last May caused one of the friends of the Conference to
address to the Committee a letter on necessary procedure which it wishes to share
with the members of the Conference. To quote, "It is fair, I think, to start out with
the assumption that all right-minded people, and many of those engaged in the man-
ufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, agree that the laws relating thereto on our
statute books very much need change; they differ only on the question, what changes
should be made. The real question therefore, is, how to accomplish the ends sought.
To answer that question, one must consider the methods of legislation in this
Commonwealth. The initiatory act is the filing in one of the houses of the General
Court, by a citizen or a group of citizens, of a petition, defining the legislation sought
and accomplished by a draft of a biU. This filing, in order to be considered at the
Annual Session, has to be done before a date set, which is approximately the middle
of January.
After filing, the petition and proposed legislation are referred to a legislative com-
mittee, which, after due advertising, must give a public hearing thereon. It is with
this sort of hearing that your committee is most familiar. While the conduct of this
hearing is vital, it is not by any means determinative. The fate of the proposed
legislation probably will be determined by the completeness of organization preced-
ing the hearing; for there are many members of the legislature, and a Governor, who,
unless there is a complete and commanding organization of those favoring the legis-
lation, may not be influenced in the least by what happens at the committee hearing.
I am now dealing with a practical, not a theoretical or an ideal situation, and I re-
mind you that very many of our legislators — enough often to hold the balance of
power in either house — vote on these questions, not according to the right or wrong
of the issues, but according as their political friends wish them to vote; and that you
cannot tell which of the legislators will be so controlled. It also should be borne in
mind that defeat in one of the houses is as effectual as defeat in both.
Your preliminary organization must be so complete, therefore, that you can prove
to the legislative committee, or to other legislators afterwards (and even often to
the Governor, because of his veto power) , not only that you are right but also that
you can control enough votes in their respective constituencies to defeat them if they
refuse you the relief you rightly seek.
What, then of this organization? It cannot be too emphatically stated that the
mere presentation to the legislative committee, even if accompanied later by presen-
tation to each legislator, of resolutions adopted at a State Conference, is, alone,
ineffectual. They represent only the sentiments of, say, 1,500 church members
64 Advance Reports [1939
scattered throughout the State, not controlling an election anywhere. Nor would
the eflFect be much different if such resolutions were accompanied by votes taken on
plebiscites from the communities represented at the Conference. Nor would a hear-
ing room of the committee packed with individuals favorable to your cause have
much more effect, unless it became clear that those individuals effectually and
militantly represented enough voters in enough commimities throughout the Com-
monwealth to control elections where legislators voted against the right.
Trinitarian Congregationalists, however earnest in their resolutions, are, if alone,
ineffectual in the legislature. But real progress could be reached if your committee
should, very soon, seek and acquire cooperation in all groups, non-religious as well
as religious, so that there would be chosen from among them an effective, practical,
safe and sane representative committee that would carefully survey the situation,
study the present laws, study the records of present legislators and the characters of
their constituency, and then prepare petitions and bills for the Legislature with
united backing."
We would like the Conference to consider whether this Committee as now organ-
ized is fitted for this work.
This letter was considered at the first meeting of the year. Rev. Harold Martin,
who was appointed Chairman of the Liquor Control, sent out immediately a Ques-
tionnaire on Liquor Control to the ministers of the Conference to discover how far
we could count on their support for a state organization. The response was not very
encouraging. About the same proportion that responded to the Economic Plebis-
cite replied — 190 out of the 500, and of these 104 saw no grave abuses inherent in
the present system, although most of those who replied were willing to bring pres-
sure on the legislators in favor of bills more adequately controlling the sale of in-
toxicating beverages. In October, Mr. Martin was obliged to resign from the Com-
mittee because of additional work undertaken in New York. Before we could secure
another Chairman, a proposition was received from the Lord's Day League asking
us to joLa with them in forming a Massachusetts United Committee to oppose the
sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday. As this group was composed of representa-
tives from the denominational and interdenominational church temperance groups,
both Catholic and Protestant, and as the Lord's Day League had made its office
facilities and part of the time of its Secretary available for the work it seemed best
to merge our work for liquor control with this, and Prof. Alfred C. Lane was ap-
pointed to serve us on this Committee.
Senate Bill 233 is sponsored by this United Committee. It would make unlawful
all sales of alcoholic beverages on the Lord's Day, except by duly authorized pharm-
acists in prescription of a registered physician.

REPORT FOR THE COMMITTEE ON
EVANGELISM AND DEVOTIONAL LIFE
Your Committee has carried through one major project during the year. That
was the holding of a ministers' retreat at Adelynrood on September 19 and 20.
Professor Douglass V. Steere served as leader and Rev. E. W. Cross of Springheld
as Chaplain.
Eighty ministers greatly enjoyed this meeting and profited from the quiet and
discussion.
On the basis of our experience at Adelynrood, your Committee is projecting four
similar retreats to be held in the Fall of 1939 in different parts of the state with
Douglas Horton, the newly elected minister of the General Council as leader. We
hope in this way to give a large number of our ministers the benefit of such a time
together.
The Committee wishes to record its thanks to President Ralph Timberlake for the
support and leadership which he has given it in all its discussions and actions.

REPORT OF THE WOMAN'S WORK DEPARTMENT
A survey of the work of the Woman's Department this past year reveals progress
in every line of activity.
Promoting the work of the local chiu-ch and strengthening the cause of Christ
throughout the world are the primary aims of our Woman's Work. The fifteen Dis-
tricts are the channels through which the Department and local auxiliaries are
united. To strengthen this relationship is fundamental in all program planning.
The District Presidents, now members of the Executive Committee, help formulate
all plans and feel a keen obligation for their effective operation.
The Executive Committee has met three times: in June, at AdeljTirood for two
days; in September, for all day at the Y. W. C. A.; in March, for a morning session
at the State office, with luncheon and further conference at the Walker Missionary
Home in Auburndale. Mrs. William H. Medlicott, Mrs. Mary D. White, Mrs.
Royal G. Whiting, Dr. Clara Sargent Shepherd, Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, and
Rev. John L. Lobingier have met with the group during the year, sharing the
fellowship and giving helpful counsel.
The Business Committee has met regularly, guiding and coordinating all activi-
ties. The members of the four Standing Committees deserve fuU commendation for
loyal and helpful service.
The Public Meetings Committee, Mrs. Roy H. Bradford, Chairman, has ar-
ranged seven Pilgrim Hall Meetings presenting the current missionary study sub-
jects, "India" and "The City Church," with stimulating and thought-provoking
speakers. Dr. and Mrs. Edward W. Wilder of the Madura Hospital brought us the
story of their splendid work, showing pictures of this interesting project. The
significant Madras Conference was dramatically described by Rev. Russell H.
Stafford, making the audience feel that "There Are No Foreigners." At the Good
Friday service. Professor Basil Mathews gave new meaning to "The Cross of
Christ." The Northland College Choir enhanced this Easter message. "The
Changing Church in the Changing City" arranged by our Conference Secretary,
Rev. Alfred V. Bliss, made realistic and challenging the problems of the ministers
in our Foreign Speaking and other city churches. At a luncheon meeting in October,
President Frank Palmer Speare of Northeastern University and Miss Hazel Le^\as,
vocational counselor of the Boston Y.W.C.A., discussed "Freedom in Education"
and "Freedom of Opportunity."
Cooperation with the Social Action Committee afforded opportunities for inter-
pretation of the philosophy behind the activities of our Council by Rev. Dwight
Bradley and Rev. Hugh Vernon White.
The May meeting "Information Please," was conducted by the four women
who have been Chairmen of the Department, under the leadership of Mrs. Morton
D. Dimning.
Through the Public Meetings Committee, the Department has assisted with the
Boston Post-Madras Meeting, the World Day of Prayer service, and the Lenten
lectures by Miss Margaret Slattery. Many women have added significance to
all these meetings through devotional services, special music and dependable
attendance.
The work of the Education Committee is always very extensive. Mrs. Franklin
G. Field, as Chairman, has assigned definite portions to each member and a vast
1939] Advance Reports 67
amount of thought and effort has gone on behind the scenes. She, herself, has
spoken effectively to many groups. "Spiritual Life Enrichment" and "The Steward-
ship Plan for Benevolence Giving" have been two important emphases stressed by
all groups in every state. This Committee has prepared a packet of material and
has sent out to the district and local leaders bulletins of practical help. Leadership
education has been developed and improved through Leader Institutes, with pro-
grams built around the study books, Social Action material and other pertinent
issues of the Church, as well as Methods. This year the Reading List has been
supervised by the Executive Committee of the Women State Presidents, making
one list for the whole country.
The Social Action Committee, Mrs. William B. Oliver, Chairman, has established
representation in seven districts and these women have met with the State Com-
mittee whenever possible. Some of the sessions have been held in well-known
social service centers, where observation of the work and discussion with the Direc-
tor have increased the understanding of "Social Action in Boston." Mrs. Oliver
has met with many groups, being particularly helpful in creating a sympathetic
approach to and intelligent interpretation of this important phase of our work.
One of the most practical and realistic contributions is that made through the Box
Work, Miss Amelia J. BurriU, Chairman. Fifteen interested women, one in each
District, have worked as a committee to allocate the requests for supplies which
come from our schools and hospitals. Many home missionary families have been
generously aided and the response for Christmas boxes was very gratifying.
Once a year the Education, Box Work and Social Action Committee Chairmen of
the Districts meet with the State Committees in Boston for a day's conference at
which time plans are formulated for the promotion of various types of work in the
women's groups throughout the state.
Mrs. Carver has ably cooperated in all these activities, planning for many speak-
ers in churches seeking assistance, speaking often on various branches of the work,
and attending to innumerable important details of administration for the Depart-
ment and Conference.
The Department has been represented by the Chairman at the meetings of the
General Council in Beloit and of the Missions Council in Evanston in January.
Service has been given to Regional and National Committees. She and the Vice-
Chairman have spoken at District meetings, Presidents' conferences, local church
gatherings. Both have attended the regular meetings of the Board of Trustees and
served on Conference committees.
There is inspiration as well as challenge in this work which has been committed
to us — the Congregational Christian women of Massachusetts. May we weld to-
gether firmly and beautifully its many component parts, even as the integral parts
of a stained glass window are welded — by one uniting strand — The Love of God
— never forgetting that the beauty of the whole is completely apparent only when
the light shines through — the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, shining through
the pattern of our lives, of our work together, steadily, eternally.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
OF WOMAN'S WORK
This is the sixth report which I have made as Secretary of the Woman's Depart-
ment, although it is the fourteenth State Meeting with which I have been identified
and the thirty-sixth year that I have been working with the women of Massa-
chusetts. That is quite a long time to be going in and out of oiu* churches in one
capacity or another. Sometimes in driving through the state, I feel that I know
towns best by ministers and churches.
My corner of the office in Room 611, 14 Beacon Street, has been just as busy a
place as ever during the last twelve months. Ministers, women and youn^ people
have been coming and going with their various problems and questions. Interviews
in regard to plans for carrying on the work more effectively in the local church are
a large part of every day's work.
As ex officio member of all committees, I have kept in touch with the various
departments of the work and assisted in every way desired. I have also spoken in
seventy-seven different chiu-ches. Personal contacts, of course, are what make any
task interesting.
Placing the needs of some of our home missionary families before the women's
associations in our chvirches is a most illuminating and interesting experience.
This year you helped seventy families, who, because of the decreased giving to
missions have to live on such small salaries that a box of household supplies is a
necessity. Some of the churches that were interested in preparing boxes have not
sent in their reports, but the total value of the ones that have reported is $8,329.51.
The boxes sent to the hospitals and schools were worth $8,884.34 and the Christ-
mas bo^s $1,193.54. This makes a grand total of $18,407.39 for parsonage and
other boxes. As we say over and over again, these boxes do not count on the church
apportionment but are a gift of love from the women in our more prosperous churches
to the ministers and families in the smaller and more isolated churches and to our
schools and hospitals.
It is a wonderful thing to have acqjuaintance which often develops into warm
friendship with the missionaries on the field. During all the thirteen and a half
years, part of my responsibility has been to learn to know these workers and to
make contacts for them in the churches. Many churches have a personal as well
as a financial relationship with them. This year 1,000 speaking appointments were
made for representatives from Africa, China, India, Japan, the Near East, the
Philippines, and from various parts of our own country. It is a liberal education to
know these fine folks and to share in their experiences. You should all feel a real
pride and satisfaction in being so ably represented all around the world and should
keep in close touch with the missionaries by letters and in other ways. Up-to-date
information about all types of work may always be secured from the Conference
office.

REPORT OF BOSTON SEAMAN'S
FRIEND SOCIETY, INC.
The question is sometimes asked: — "Why is there need to make special provision
for seamen when we do not for men of other vocations?" The answer is — seamen
live an abnormal life. Most of their days are spent on shipboard and away from
home and family. They go from port to port and are often away from home for
weeks or months at a time. Because of the abnormal life the mariner is obliged to
live as the world's errand boy, he is the loneliest man among the sons of men. The
sailor, when he comes into port, needs some homelike place, such as our Sailor's Rest,
where he may go and meet friendly folks, get his mail and write letters, read books,
magazines and daily papers, enjoy the free entertainments and religious services
which are provided for him there.
Some wholesome recreation must be found for these men while ashore or they will
likely gravitate towards the saloon or other undesirable forms of entertainment.
More than 35,000 seamen have visited the Sailor s Rest during the year and 3,500
others the Bethel at Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard. Our Society has during
that period housed and fed 14,249 seamen; 9,635 of these free, due to unemployment.
More than half of the aided men have, as opportunity afforded, reimbursed the
Society in whole or in part. Clothing was provided for 319 men and shoes for 49.
During the year the Society has provided 52 free concerts with an attendance of
6,525. Religious services have been held each Sunday evening with an attendance
for the year of 2,730.
Dm-ing the summer our launch, the "Seaman's Friend," distributed to 523 ships
in the harbor over 20,000 magazines and sea libraries containing 2,460 books. At
the Sailor s Rest we have distributed in addition some 8,000 magazines to the men
coming from their ships, and sixteen libraries.
The cost for maintaining the work of the Society for the year was $43,747.82. The
receipts from the churches were $5,680.79, of which Massachusetts gave $2,859.59.
This was a loss of $389.70 from the New England churches and a loss of $383.64
from those of Massachusetts.
Our workers have had a diflScult task in keeping up the morale of these sailor lads
who have real cause for discouragement. Some of them have had no work for weeks
and the present prospect is by no means promising. Superintendent Thorpe and
his assistants have accomplished wonders for these distraught men.
The year has been a good one in real service to a deserving group of men.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS
AND APPORTIONMENT
Missionary education and promotion has been steadily and consistently carried
forward by the members of the staff of the Conference. Various types of meetings
have been planned — retreats, ministers' group meetings, church officers' confer-
ences, local missionary institutes, Sunday and week-day appointments.
In response to a letter from President Timberlake, the different types of meetings
desired were indicated by the pastors. These requests were carefully followed up.
Rev. Hugh Vernon White conducted institutes for ministers in all parts of the state.
Rev. Howell D. Davies of Chicago, Secretary Ernest M. Halliday of New York,
Vice-President William F. Frazier of New York, Secretary George N. White and
Secretary Mary D. White of New York, and Secretaries D. Brewer Eddy and Alden
H. Clark, gave time to the churches in Massachusetts for conducting church officers'
visitations, as well as delivering vital messages at Sunday services. The Staff
cooperated in all these efforts.
On December 12, the Committee called a meeting of the Chairmen of the Associa-
tion Missionary Committees. The Executive Secretary of the Missions Council,
Rev. Leonard M. Outerbridge, presented the plans for 193,0 at this meeting and re-
ports were given by the missionary chairmen of the different associations.
At the time of the Post Madras meetings in Boston, a dinner meeting was held at
the Church of the Covenant for scribes, moderators, missionary committees and
district presidents. All parts of the state were represented.
Through the Conference office Speakers' Bureau in charge of Mrs. Mary R. Carver,
1,000 appointments have been arranged and the churches have had the inspiration
of hearing from all our missions field, both at home and abroad.
The Committee urges the more general use of the "Pilgrim State News," twenty-
five cents a year, as well as the various pamphlets printed under the direction of the
Missions Council. A recent and useful help is the "Program of Progress," prepared
by the Division of Christian Education.
The financial statement of the chiu-ches' giving to apportiormaent benevolences
follows by associations. While the figiu-e for the regular giving is ten per cent less
than last year, remember that the hurricane damaged churches in our state to the
extent of $250,000, most of which was locally taken care of and the Massachusetts
churches have also given $114,776 to the Debt of Honor, not quite one-foiulh of our
quota.

REPORT OF THE
CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OF PASTORAL SUPPLY
This Board started as a Massachusetts organization forty-five years ago, in 1894.
Twenty-three years ago, January 1916, it became a New England organization.
From time to time it may be well to remind ourselves of these dates especially for
the sake of new comers into the work of our churches.
The Board employs one secretary with two members of the ofiice staff. The
treasurer's work is on a volunteer basis. There are twenty-one members of the
Board; nine from Massachusetts, five from Connecticut, two each from Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, and one from Rhode Island.
Two meetings a year are held — June and December — and io addition a meeting
of the Executive Committee (consisting of one member from each state with the
chairman and treasurer ex officiis) in March.
During this year the meetings have been as usual well attended, sixteen being
present in June, and seventeen in December. The Executive Committee had an
attendance of five, from five states.
Mr. Walter H. Black's first year as treasurer has demonstrated the wisdom of the
Board in choosing him. Miss Dorothy E. Howe, a member of the Eliot Church in
Newton, has joined the staff during the year and continues the tradition of interested
and efficient service to which we are accustomed. ,

Financial
The treasurer's statement of receipts and expenditures for the year is appended
to this report. By subtracting the balance of $1,165.73 with which we begin the
coming year from the balance of $1,205.05 with which we began last year it will be
seen that we failed to pay last year's bills out of last year's receipts by the amount
of $39.28. This was due to a loss in the receipts from Massachusetts of $118.91
which followed a loss from the same source a year ago of $94.52. We give these
figures to show the important part that church treasurers have in collecting and
Association treasurers have in forwarding, the per capita contributions.
It will be noticed that approximately $600 was received from the Secretary's
preaching. This means that he has supplied in thirty-seven churches. All but nine
of these were vacant churches. More important than the money received is the
close contact that the occupying of the pulpit at the morning service gives the Secre-
tary in his relationship to a church. Usually a meeting with the committee seeking
for a minister is held in the afternoon. The sermon is designed to help the congre-
gation and also to help the committee in the search for a new minister and in their
treatment of a new minister when he comes.
It will also be noticed that $487 has been received in contributions; $200 of this
came from one individual, who during the years has shown her deep interest in the
work of this Board by constant and timely financial support. Not only the actual
money given is here to be considered but even more the gracious way in which it has
been given. The remainder of the $487 substantially came from 16 churches in sums
varying from five to twenty-five dollars. These were all churches to which we ren-
dered some distinct assistance during the year.
Very definitely would it help our work if the Secretary could be freer in the use of
his Sundays and if it were not necessary to ask for contributions from churches
which we have served. This could be accomplished if the amount received from per
capita contributions was slightly increased and if a modest appropriation could
be made by the General Council to compensate us for the work which we do for
churches outside New England.

Seminakt Statistics
Statistics from the seminaries of graduates who were planning to enter the Con-
gregational ministry, at Commencement 1938/, were: Andover-Newton 8, Harvard
4, Yale 3, Chicago 16, Oberlin 8, Bangor 5, Hartford 6, Union 5, Pacific 6. Total 61.
(1937, 72; 1936, 75; 1935, 70).
Guarding the Door of Entrance
As was forecast in last year's report careful study was given by a special com-
mittee at the General CouncU at Beloit to various questions about the ministry*
Tlie results of this study were turned over to the permanent Commission on the
Ministry of the General Council of which the Secretary of this Board is now chair-
man. Perhaps the most significant among these questions was that relating to the
standards to be used in licensing and ordaining men. A questionnaire has been sent
to all the Associations in the country for the purpose of gathering information about
the practices which are now actually used. It is hoped that licensure can be brought
into a more definite and a higher status with a much more thorough examination of
those who apply for this order in our ministry. Probably most important among the
suggestions being made concerning ordination is the proposal that a thorough
written examination be expected of candidates for ordination, preferably to be con-
ducted by a State committee. After discussing this proposal at its December meeting
this Board put itself on record as favoring the principle of this written examination.
The Secretary has now served for several years as a member of the Committee on
Ministerial Standing of the Suffolk West Association. This has enabled him to
bring the experience acquired in the oflBce to the examination, especially, of candi-
dates for licensure and to observe how certain experiments in stiffening this exami-
nation have actually worked.
"Fed-Up" with Students
"Last evening the Church at called me in for consultation.
After several ministries by young men the church is asking for an older man. The
young people as well as older desire one to whom they may look up and respect.
What they need is another man like in ' , . . . Someone ready to
take a lighter task and still able to give a real spiritual ministry."
This letter from a field secretary in a New England state disclosses a trend which
your Secretary finds among the churches. The conventional request for a "young
man" is stiU heard when one meets with church committees but not so much as
several years ago.
A Five-Year Period is Closed
It is now five years since the present Secretary began his work. It has been a
busy five years. Any dream on his part or on the part of anybody else that the
executive work of this Board involved a semi-retirement has been completely unful-
filled. But it has been an interesting and rewarding five years, thanks to the co-
operation of the members of the Board, the staff, the state oflScials, the ministers
and the church committees. The Secretary and the members of the Board have
tried to be guided by two leading principles. First, to recognize the autonomy of
the local Congregational church and to help it choose its own minister. Second, to
serve the ministers in just as brotherly a way as one knows how, to the end that the
difficulties and complexities inherent in our Congregational system shall be lessened
and eased in individual cases so far as possible.
For the Board,
Charles C. Merrill, Secretary.

REPORT OF THE LAYMEN'S COMMITTEE
Our Function
We conceive our function to be to awaken on the part of the laymen in our
Churches a new interest in, and sense of responsibility for, the progress of our whole
Christian enterprise and to stimulate purposeful activities both in the local Church
and our denominational agencies.
One Reason for a Committee
One indication that such an attempt is needed is found in the state report which
shows that in 1937 our male church membership was 63,66{) or 37% of our total
membership and in 1938 it was 59,477 or 31)^%, a loss of 4,192 from the previous
year, or 6.6% loss in male membership; while the female membership in 1937 was
107,226 and in 1938 it was 112,831 an mcrease of 5,608, or 5.2%. In other words,
the difference between the sexes increased by 9,797 or 5.7% of the 1937 total. This
may partly be due to the revision of old records but certainly it is not an encouraging
trend, especially in light of the hope of many of our denominational leaders that our
Christian ideals may be integrated into the motives of our modern life.
Relation to our Associations
To help meet this situation we are making contacts with responsible church lay-
men, holding conferences with deacons and other leaders to give opportunity for
interchange of experiences and convictions concerning objectives and techniques.
Obviously our committee of volunteers without an employed agent cannot cover
the entire state with an adequate program by its own efforts. Our aim therefore has
been to stimulate our district Associations to develop their own Laymen's Com-
mittees, to help them to choose worthy objectives and methods, and thus to build
up in each Association a constituency or fellowship of representative laymen. Their
task in turn is to stimulate a more purposeful program in the local Churches and to
foster an active interest in the work of their Associations.
Is Your Association Organized?
We deem this a wiser plan than to undertake to develop a statewide laymen's
organization, or league, as some denominations have done. But if the Moderators,
Scribes and other Association leaders, for lack of vision, fail to make the most of this
opportunity to discover and cultivate their laymen's interest and cooperation, our
Committee will feel obliged to change its policy and to build up a statewide con-
stituency of laymen as individual representatives of their Churches with no oflScial
relation to the Associations. Some Associations are alive to this opportunity and
have gone so far as to place their Association meetings on Sunday to insure the
attendance of laymen.
Thirteen Association Laymen's Committees
Thirteen Associations have reported Laymen's Committees in varying degrees of
organization: Andover, Berkshire South, Hampden, Middlesex-Mendon, Middlesex-
Union, Old Colony, Pilgrun, Suffolk North, Suffolk South, Suffolk West, Woburn.
Worcester Central, Worcester North.

Helping Churches to organize mens work.
Serving as a clearing house of ideas and plans.
Encouraging participation in retreats and State conferences.
Securing a Laymen's Council of two men from each Church with occasional
meetings.
Holding Sunday afternoon conference, supper meeting and Communion for
Deacons.
Holding supper conference in connection with the Association meeting.
Activities of State Laymen's Committee
In addition to these typical events our state committee has held six three-hour
meetings, cooperated in the programs of several of the above named conferences,
conducted the Laymen's Dinner Conference at Norwood with 369 men present, sent
delegates to the Isles of Shoals Summer Conference for New England, and conducted
our first Laymen's Retreat at Andover-Newton on November 26 and 27.
This Retreat was our most ambitious attempt to contact our Church leaders for
Christian fellowship and facing the responsibilities of Church men. Forty-eight
men from twenty-seven places attended and demanded that it become an annual
event. President Herrick and Dean Dabney were gracious hosts and inspiring
leaders, together with Dr. Timberlake and several laymen who presided over the
section discussion groups. With the general theme, "The Church and Its Mission,"
the groups discussed the responsibilities of the layman to influence his environment,
in business and industry, civic life, education and public opinion; also to his Church,
toward youth and toward our World Service.
Our Committee plans that next year there will be a retreat at each end of the
State, and that our World Service will receive a major emphasis.
Activities of Men's Groups in 101 Churches
A recent questionnaire concerning men's organized groups sent to the Churches
reveals that: 101 groups indicate their scope and character. Their size varies from
78 Advance Reports [1939
18 to 160 members, with a total of 7,123 men or 12% of our male membership. The
chief features include: supper meetings, 75; other social activities, 40; entertain-
ments, 47; forums, 14; and men's classes, 18.
The social featvu-es include games, outings, bowling, dances, quoits, ladies'
nights, etc.;
Lectures on current topics, religious and missionary themes.
The service projects include: 9 sponsor boy scouts, 10 work for the Church budget,
6 for Church repairs, 6 promote fellowship, 4 for community betterment, 2 have
father and son suppers, others mention Pastor's aid, orchestra, Red Cross,
ushering. Church School teachers, observe laymen's Sunday, pageants, choirs,
help for underprivileged, scouting for new families, etc. „
One fi'ankly states that the Church is never mentioned at their meetings while
most of them seem to be Church centered and grade up from purely social and
fellowship groups to positive centers of activity to help the Pastor and officials
to attain the spiritual objectives of the Church.
Our committee is very appreciative of the inspiring and tactful leadership of Dr.
Timberlake, but we realize that he is not free to specialize in doing the executive
work and promotion necessary to achieve the ideals we have in mind. Members of
our Committee have gladly given time and effort to initiate a laymen's movement
that will help the Church to adjust itself and its effort to meet the conditions and
problems that modern life is thrusting upon it. But they believe the time is ap-
proaching when our Churches will see the possibilities in this laymen's movement
and that they will make it possible to provide a lay Secretary to give constant leader-
ship to its direction and propagation.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RELATION OF
CHURCHES AND COLLEGES
Realizing the prominent role that our church has played in establishing many of
our foremost institutions of learning and how much in turn th*e church has received
from our Massachusetts colleges, this committee seeks to promote closer harmony
between the colleges and churches of our state. We welcome suggestions from the
people of the state, and will try to be of service in any community where our co-
operation is desired.
We have published in our state paper a list of faculty members in some of our
colleges who are glad to serve our chiu^ches as speakers.
' We have given careful consideration to the establishment of a student pastor in
some strategic college center. We feel that much needs to be done among our
Congregational students to hold and cultivate their interest in the church. We
realize that some church fellowships are ahead of us in this type of service, and
believe that we should be more active in the mother state of Congregationalism
among colleges that have been historically closely affiliated with us.
After consideration of several colleges, the best center for such a program seems
to be Amherst College. We are calling a meeting of local college and church repre-
sentatives to meet with our committee this spring in the endeavor to work out a
definite plan.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
COMMITTEE ON RURAL CHURCHES
Your Committee on Rural Churches was created at the Annual Meeting of the
Massachusetts Congregational Conference in 1938. The Committee was appointed
to consider the address given by Professor Carle C. Zimmerman on "The State of
the Rural Church in Massachusetts," and to study and serve our rural Congrega-
tional Churches.
The Committee met and was organized on August 4th. Mrs. Hilda Ives, a mem-
ber of the Committee, and Mr. Bliss and Mr. Tuttle of the Staff, directed a dis-
cussion of the problems of rural communities and of rural churches. Professor
Zimmerman was unable to attend. A reprint of his address was distributed to the
members of the Committee at a later date.
A program of work relative to the Rural Churches was considered including the
following matters which the Committee believes should be undertaken and here-
with submits them to the Conference:
1. The preparation of a list of the Rural Chm-ches in Massachusetts.
2. The promotion of occasional meetings of rural Churches and ministers to
strengthen the ties between the local Churches and the State Conference and
to further mutual undertakings.
3. The consideration of further cooperation among rural Churches by various
forms of federation including United Churches, Yoked Fields, and Larger
Parishes.
4. The formulation of methods whereby the ministers of rural churches may con-
tinue their education and further Christian education in their parishes.
5. The exploration of ways by which the rural Church can aid rural population
in having proper medical attention, adequate educational and cultural oppor-
tunities, and improved economic stability; and assist other agencies already
interested in those various fields.
6. The distribution of literature, missionary, devotional, and social, which will
help the rural minister; also the Committee or Conference to act as a clearance
house in obtaining used materials and furnishings for rural Churches.
7. The presentation of the meaning and mission of Congregationalism, recruiting
new members and reviving older members.
8. The recognition of rural ministers and rural Churches on the State Programs,
in the Local Associations, and in such other ways as may be in the best interests
of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and our Congregational
Churches.

ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Fourteen cents per member is asked this year of
the Churches. Eight cents of the fourteen goes to the General Council (formerly
The National Council) and six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of
the six cents per members is the attempt of the Conference part of our organization
to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent fimds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
pair is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated imder the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.
81
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements with
the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part of their
property to be apphed to our work after their death, and desire an assured income
from this property for themselves, or for others whom they may designate as
beneficiaries, so long as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning
such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for the benefit of
churches. Many churches have put their trust funds in the care of the Conference.
It is now administering trust funds for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of
over $575,000. If any extra expense is incurred that is charged against the principal
or income of the fund involved. Funds which have been committed to our care
have earned about 4% this last year.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up for the most
part of persons who have had little experience in administering funds, to guard the
safety of church trust funds. The Conference has exceptional facilities for keeping
funds safely and investing them profitably and wisely. The Board of Trustees of
the Conference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large ability and
experience in such matters. The churches may avail themselves of the service of
this ability and experience without expense.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CON-
GREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of
the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Missionary Committee of the local Association of
Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the President or Secre-
tary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council;
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are self-
evident. "W. C," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 1938. Admissions
and removals cover the year 1937. "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females"
and "total," but included in them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1938, or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained" denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i"; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r,"; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by council, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but means "no report";
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" home department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk* indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year offers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.

BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which oiu- fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Each evangelical Congregational church in this Common-
wealth or Christian church that is a member of a Congregational-Christian Asso-
ciation of churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom
it is suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officio)
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee members
of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life mem-
bers of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting
membership of the Conference; it is provided, however, that pastors of churches to
qualify for the voting privilege shall be Congregational or Christian ministers
having membership in Congregational or Congregational-Christian Associations
regularly holding ministerial standing.
133
134 By-Laws [1939
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.
ARTICLE V
Officers
1. There shall be a Moderator, one or more vice-Moderators, a Recording
Secretary, a chairman and a vice-chairman of the Department of Woman's Work
(See Art. VIII, sec. 2), all of whom shall be nominated by the nominating com-
mittee hereinafter provided for, and elected by ballot at each annual meeting of
the Conference for a term of one year and until their respective successors are
chosen.
2. The executive officers of the Conference shall be a President, a Secretary, a
Treasurer, Field Secretaries, a Secretary of Missionary Education and Promotion,
a Secretary of the Department of Woman's Work and a Secretary of Religious Edu-
cation. These officers shall constitute the Executive Staff. They shall be nominated
by the Board of Trustees meeting in exjecutive session, and elected by ballot at each
annual meeting of the Conference for a term of one year and until their respective
successors are chosen.
3. "The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees consisting of one
member from each Association of churches, six members at large who shall be
known for their special knowledge of financial affairs of whom one shall be chosen
each even numbered year and two, — beginning with the year 1935, — each odd
numbered year, the chairman and vice-chairman of the Woman's Department
ex-officiis and the Moderator ex-officio." One-third of the representatives of the
Associations upon the Board shall be ministers, one-third laymen, and one-third
laywomen, as nearly as may be. Nine members shall constitute a quorum. The
term of office shall be four years, and no member having served a full term shall be
eligible for re-election until after one year. The present Trustees shall remain
in office until the expiration of their terms.
The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from which
Trustees are to be chosen in the successive years and determine whether the
Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a
candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such candidate should be
a minister, a layman or a laywoman, and the names of such candidates shall be
reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the
receipt of these names shall communicate them to the nominating committee on
or before April 10. In case any Association fails to propose a candidate the Board
of Trustees shall perform this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall
commence at the close of the 1933 Conference.

MINUTES OF THE
141st ANNUAL MEETING of the MASSACHUSETTS
CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
May 15-16
Central Congregational Church, Worcester,
Massachusetts
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
The Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society held its 141st Annual Meeting in Central Congregational
Church, Worcester, co-operating in the Massachusetts Inter-
church Convention, which was held in the Municipal Auditorium.
The Business session of the Conference opened at 2:00 o'clock
on Wednesday, May 15.
The Moderator, Rev. Lyndon S. Beardslee, called the meeting
to order and offered prayer.
The Moderator then announced the following committee
appointments :
Business Committee — Rev. John Gratton, Chairman, Rev. Edward M. Condit,
Mrs. Franklin Field, Mr. Frank E. Bridgman, Rev. Bertram B. Hanscom.
Credentials Committee — Rev. Leon E. Grubaugh, Chairman, Mrs. Fannie Cobb,
Rev. Elliott O. Foster, Rev. John A. Martin, Dr. Clarence D. Usher.
The Pastor of the entertaining church. Rev. Pierson P. Harris,
welcomed the delegates on behalf of the church and the city.
The Advance Reports of the Conference Committees were
then presented severally, and after full opportunity for discus-
sion, were accepted and ordered printed in the records.
Rev. Vernon Cook, President of the Rhode Island Congrega-
tional Conference, and Rev. Erwin L. Ogden of the Disciples
Church, Worcester, were introduced to the Conference as
Honorary Delegates and were welcomed by the Moderator.
Mr. Cook presented fraternal greetings from the Rhode Island
Conference and Mr. Ogden extended the greetings of the small
group of Disciples in Massachusetts and expressed a hope for
closer co-operation between the churches of his fellowship and
those of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference.
The President, Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, presented his
report as printed. He supplemented this report with the recom-
14 Minutes [1940
mendation that a wider use be made of the "Pilgrim State News,"
which now incorporates so large a part of the Missionary Herald.
He felt that it is so desirable that this publication should reach
every family in the parish, that churches would be justified in
including the cost in the church budget, even drawing in part
upon benevolence money for this purpose.
President Timberlake also recommended that a message of
congratulation be sent to the First Congregational Church of
Winchester, which at this time is celebrating its one hundredth
anniversary, and it was so voted.
The report of the Secretary of the Conference was then pre-
sented as printed. The Conference stood while the Moderator
read the list of ministers, as printed in this report, who have
died since the last Annual Meeting, and whose ministerial stand-
ing had been held at some time within the Conference.
The report of the Treasurer was presented, opportunity being
given for questions and discussion.
These reports were accepted and ordered printed in the
Minutes.
The following resolutions were presented to the Conference:
By Rev. Norman B. Cawley — a resolution concerning increased co-operation
between the Associations of this state and the Board of Pastoral Supply.
By Rev. Edward C. Camp — a resolution asking for the support of the Conference
in the approval of a bill to be introduced at the next session of the Massachusetts
Legislature, calling for repeal of the legislation providing free transportation of
private school pupils.
Mr. Camp also reported for the representatives of the Conference on the Board
of Trustees of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon League, especially asking that every
Congregational church in the state include a small sum (five dollars or more) in
its benevolence budget each year for the League; and that each church give the
Executive Secretary opportunity to present the work of organized opposition to
the liquor traffic; and that each church secure the maximum "No" vote when the
question of licensing intoxicating beverages comes before the people.
By Mr. Roger W. Babson — former Moderator of the General Council, a resolu-
tion that the Home Boards and the Massachusetts Conference should get the
sentiment of the churches on important matters before action is taken.
Also a resolution on the work of the Board of Pastoral Supply in securing pas-
toral transfers.
By Rev. J. Burford Parry — a resolution condemning the ruthless brutality evi-
denced in the invasion of peaceful, neutral countries in so many parts of the world.
By Mr. John Arthur Martin- — a resolution in regard to the appointment of Mr.
Myron Taylor as a special representative of the President at the Vatican.
By Rev. Charles C. Merrill — a resolution regarding the election of delegates from
the State Conference or Convention and from the District i\.ssociations to the
General Council.
1940] Minutes 15
These resolutions were referred to the Business Committee.
It was
VOTED: That 10:00 o'clock, Thursday, May 16, be designated as the time
when the Special Committee on Allotments shall report to this body.
The work of the Board of Ministerial Aid was presented by
Rev. Robert W. Coe, Chairman of the Executive Committee,
and an offering taken, amounting to $140.26.
The election of officers was the concluding item of business.
There were 410 ballots cast in favor of the nominees as reported
by the Nominating Committee, as recorded on pages 4-6 of the
Minutes and Reports of the Conference.
THURSDAY MORNING
The meeting was called to order at 9:00 o'clock by the Mod-
erator, the first item of business being the report of the Trustees,
as given by the Chairman of the Board, Rev. Alfred J. Barnard.
He named certain of the Trustees, adding that others might
have been named, whose character and ability gave assurance
that the churches' business will always receive careful attention.
Mr. Barnard reported the action of the Trustees at their
meeting on January 22, 1940, at which time they considered
the resignation of Secretary Bliss, and voted as follows:
THAT Mr. Bliss be asked to withdraw his resignation incident to the following:
THAT the Board of Trustees recommend at the Annual Meeting that Article
VII, Section 2, of the Conference By-laws, relative to retirement and annuity,
which now reads, "Ordained ministers, who are members of the executive staff,
shall be expected to be members of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Minis-
ters, and the Conference shall not provide for them any other retirement annuity.",
shall be amended to read: "Ordained ministers, who are members of the executive
staff, shall be expected to be members of the Annuity Fund for Congregational
Ministers, and the Conference shall not provide for them any other retirement
annuity, except in the case of ministers who are now members under the Original
Plan."
THAT Mr. BHss receive at least $700 as an annuity from the Conference, pro-
vided he remains with the Conference as Secretary until the retirement age.
The above amendment to the By-laws was passed without a
dissenting voice.
The recommendations of the Business Committee were then
presented by its Chairman, Rev. John Gratton.
The Committee approved the following resolution, which had
been presented by Rev. Charles C. Merrill:
16 Minutes [1940
RESOLVED: That, in accordance with the provision of the Constitution of
the General Council of Congregational and Christian Churches with regard to
amendments, we ask the General Council at its meeting in Berkeley, California,
in August, 1940, to adopt the following amendment to the Constitution:
Add to Article III on Membership, section 1, on voting membership, paragraph
(c) the following words:
"In determining such nomination and election the State Conference
or Convention shall assign, on a regular, permanent and equitable basis,
to District Associations and to be elected by them, a share of the delegates
of that Conference or Convention, such share not to be less than two-
thirds of the total."
This will make the entire paragraph (c) read as follows :
"Each State or District Conference or Convention shall determine by
vote at its Annual Meeting the method of nomination and election of its
own delegates and substitutes. In determining such nomination and
election, the State Conference or Convention shall assign, on a regular,
permanent and equitable basis, to District Associations and to be elected
by them, a share of the delegates of that Conference or Convention, such
share not to be less than two-thirds of the total."
This resolution was adopted by vote of the Conference.
The Business Committee recommended the adoption of the
following resolution, presented by Mr. Roger W. Babson:
THA T whenever practicable, the Home Boards of our Church and the Massa-
chusetts State Conference obtain the sentiment of our local churches on important
measures before final action is taken thereon.
After some discussion, it was
VOTED: That Mr. Babson's resolution be adopted and that a committee of
five be appointed by the present Moderator of this State Conference, to clarify
and to specify just what questions should be included under "Important measures,"
and how these should be referred to the churches, this committee to report at the
next Annual Meeting.
Rev. Harry L. Miles of New York, by previous vote of the
Conference, was presented at 9:45 A. M. to speak upon the Debt
of Honor Campaign. He urged that a determined effort be
made to raise the $160,000 needed to insure the success of this
campaign. Pledges are now $590,000 of the $750,000 required
for the churches' part of the annuities in question.
Some Massachusetts churches have done superbly, the smaller
generally better than the large. Massachusetts as a whole lags
behind many states. Connecticut's quota is 85% met, Massa-
chusetts' 64% met, or $72,000 short. New Haven has pledged
more than Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Newton together.
1940] Minutes 17
If Massachusetts raises her $72,000 lacking, there is every
reason to beheve that the Debt of Honor will achieve its end.
At this point, the report of the Special Committee on Allot-
ments was presented by the Chairman, Rev. Clarence W. Dun-
ham. The report calls for action as follows :
1. We recommend a campaign of education among our churches for the dis-
semination of information regarding the allotment, its history and purposes.
To this end we commend the statement issued by the Trustees of the Conference
to help the churches imderstand the allotment account in our finances.* We urge
that further information be given through our Associations of Churches and
Ministers and through laymen's committees. We also recommend the continua-
tion of this committee or a similar committee, to carry out this campaign of
education.
*THE ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
The discussion at the Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference and Missionary Society at Northampton regarding the Allotment
Account indicated that there is need of more information about the purposes of
the Allotment assessment, which has been 13 cents per member since 1924. The
following statement is prepared by the Trustees of the "Conference" to help the
churches to more fully understand the place the Allotment Account holds in our
financial structure. The figures used, for the year 1938-39, are in round numbers
only. The exact figures however can be obtained from the Treasurer's Report
in the Annual Minutes.
INCOME OF THE "CONFERENCE"
Income From Churches
Allotment Account $21,000
Conference share of the Benevolence Giving 30,000 $ 51,000
Income From Other Sources
Income from Endowments 70,000
Income from Mass. Woman's Home Missionary
Union Endowments 5,000
Income from Unrestricted Legacies and Misc.
Items 8,000 83,000
$134,000
DEFICIT
(taken from the Contingent Funds to balance the
books for the year) 8,500
$142,500
18 Minutes ' [1940
EXPENSES OF THE "CONFERENCE"
Grants to the Churches
Aid to churches in form of grants toward pastors'
Salaries $69,500
Gifts to repair churches damaged in hurricane
(exclusive of loans) 11,000 $ 80,500
Allotment Expenses (see below) 21,000
Office Expenses, Salaries, Miscellaneous 41,000
$142,500
In other words, the "Conference" paid out to Massachusetts Churches nearly
$30,000 more than it received from them. This is possible because of Endowment
Income, which comes almost entirely from money left to the Massachusetts Home
Missionary Society and is restricted in varying degrees for Missionary work.
When the charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was amended
in 1928 to permit the merging with the Massachusetts Congregational Conference,
the new corporation assumed the expenses of the "Conference." To cover these
expenses, the corporation is entitled to the receipts of the "Conference", or the
Allotment receipts, so that Missionary funds will not be used to cover these "Con-
ference" expenses. It is right that the "Conference" part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. These expenses are:
National Council $11,000
Board of Pastoral Supply 3,700
Massachusetts Council of Churches 1,000
Expense of assembling statistics (work formerly done by regis-
trar) 2,300
Committees 1,000
Convocations 900
Printing and mailing of Annual Report and Advance Reports . 1,100
$21,000
The above figures will show that Allotment income only covers the expenses
incurred as a result of "Conference" work undertaken by the churches at their
Annual Meetings. The Allotment income has not been used to increase our office
force or overhead expenses. This year the request is made by the "Conference"
for 14 cents per member. The extra cent will not increase the net revenue of the
"Conference" but is to cover the expenses of the International Council of Con-
gregational Churches to be held in Wellesley.
THE ABOVE STATEMENT REFERS TO THE "CONFERENCE'S"
SHARE OF THE ALLOTMENT. ASSOCIATION ASSESSMENTS ARE
IN ADDITION TO THESE.
2. We recommend the simplification of the allotment account, as carried by
the State Treasurer. Items can be consolidated under the general heading of
expenses, such as printing and overhead.
This recommendation was adopted.
1940] Minutes 19
3. We recommend that through the State Conference and General Council an
effort be made with the other conferences of our national fellowship to secure a
more equitable collection of the allotment per capita.
This was adopted.
4. We recommend that for the present the allotment be in Massachusetts on
the basis of six cents for our own Conference expenses, seven cents for the General
Council, and one cent additional for the International Council. We also recom-
mend that only such moneys be passed on to the General Council by the Treasurer
of our State Conference as he shall receive, allocated for that purpose.
Upon motion by Mr. Camp, the Conference voted to strike out the words "one
cent additional for the International Council."
These recommendations were adopted.
5. We recommend that the basis for allotment payments in our Conference be
the total membership of each church, such as each reports to the General Council,
to be published in the reports of the Council and State Conference.
This was adopted.
6. We recommend that the Conference abolish the column for absentee mem-
bers in our Conference Report and that our churches in Massachusetts be requested
not to report absentee members.
This recommendation was adopted by the Conference after it had been amended
by striking out the words "and that our churches in Massachusetts be requested
not to report absentee members."
7. We further recommend that our churches cease to employ the term "ab-
sentee members" and use the term "retired members" for such members as may be
deemed by the local church to be inactive, the number of such retired members
not to be included in the report of total membership in our statistics.
This also was adopted.
The Business Committee then presented the following reso-
lution:
RESOLVED: That the present Moderator appoint a committee of five to
co-operate with the New England Board of Pastoral Supply and the Associations
in seeking to find a solution to the problem of pastoral transfers, such committee
to report to the Annual Meeting in 1941.
Mr. Cawley moved to amend this resolution by adding the
words: "The Moderator to follow the principle in appointing
the members of this committee that one person shall be ap-
pointed from each five or seven associations, this number to be
divided on the basis of three ministers and two laymen, or four
ministers and three laymen." This resolution was adopted.
The Business Committee recommended that no action be
taken in regard to the following resolution presented by Mr.
Camp:
20 Minutes ' [1940
We, representatives of the Congregational churches of Massa-
chusetts, assembled in the annual meeting of our State Con-
ference, express our approval of the bill to be introduced into
the next session of the Massachusetts Legislature, providing for
the repeal of legislation authorizing the free transportation of
pupils of private schools and urge its passage.
After further discussion by the Conference, it was
VOTED: That the above resolution be adopted as an expression of opinion by
our denomination.
In place of the longer resolution presented by Mr. John Arthur
Martin, it was voted to adopt the following:
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts State Conference approves the action
of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America in seeking to have clarified
the significance of the Myron C. Taylor appointment by President Roosevelt and
that a copy of this resolution be sent to Rev. George A. Buttrick, President of the
Federal Council.
In regard to the resolution requesting the recall of Mr. Myron
C. Taylor from the Vatican, it was
RESOLVED: That this resolution be laid on the table.
The following resolution was presented in substitution for the
one presented by Rev. Roy G. Pavey:
RESOLVED: That we recommend to oiu- Churches that they be much in prayer
concerning the present world situation, to the end that our people may be granted
the vision to see and the courage to do the will of God, in order that a world of
freedom, justice, peace and good will may be brought to pass on earth and that
we express our deep sympathy and moral support to all forces struggling for human
liberty.
This resolution was adopted.
It was
VOTED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference express its deep
gratitude to the City of Worcester, the Council of Churches, the minister, and the
members of the Central Congregational Church for the excellent arrangements
which had been made for the entertainment of the 141st Annual Meeting and to
the local press.
The report of the Nominating Committee was presented by
the Chairman, Rev. Edwin B. Nylen, placing in nomination
committee members and delegates to the General Council.
This report was accepted with one amendment, namely, that
due to the fact that Rev. M. Russell Boynton of Newton, who
1940] Minutes 21
was nominated as a delegate to the General Council, is already
a member of the Executive Committee thereof, it was
VOTED: That Rev. William F. English of Norwood be substituted in his place.
The report of this committee was then adopted and the committees, delegates,
etc., were elected as recorded on pages 8-11 of these Minutes.
According to the report of the Chairman of the Credentials
Committee, Rev. Leon E. Grubaugh, the registration of the
Conference was as follows:
Churches represented by Pastor alone 89
Churches represented by Pastor and 1 delegate 70
Churches represented by Pastor and 2 delegates 119
Churches represented by 1 or more delegate and no Pastor 32
Churches represented 310
Total Attendance:
Pastors 272
Delegates 358
Ex-officio members 28
Visitors 68
Total 726
It was •
VOTED: That the Minutes, as recorded by the Recording Secretary, be sub-
mitted to the StafiF of the Conference for their approval, and then be entered in
the records of the Conference.
The meeting adjourned Thursday noon.

THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT
The Gospel of Reconciliation is sorely needed by the world today. To preach it
and to live it is the unchanging and unending task of the church. The program of
the Conference is built around this great objective, to enable our ministers and
people to understand more clearly the meaning and spirit of this message, to per-
fect the method of its proclamation, and more than all to experience its power and
grace.
To this end, the year began with four Retreats for Ministers, under the leadership
of Douglas Horton, Minister of the General Council. These were held in Plymouth,
Adelynrood, Senexet, and Northfield. They were attended by double the number
of ministers of any previous year.
Not long afterward, with the assistance of Dr. Frederick L. Fagley, Dr. Gaius
Glenn Atkins, and Dr. Arthur Bradford, a series of eight Institutes for Ministers
was held across the State. The topic of discussion was "The Method and Message
of Evangelism". Many ministers have testified that these conferences gave a truer
tone and character to their whole ministry throughout the year.
This is borne out by the many reports of a general increase in Church attend-
ance, of improved programs in Young People's work, of a high type of Lenten Serv-
ices in more of our Churches, and of a large number of accessions on Confession of
Faith.
More recently, it has been our privilege to meet personally with the ministers of
sixteen of the Associations for very informal but very profitable consultations re-
garding the work of the Conference and the Associations and parish problems. This
has been a happy and encouraging experience of the strength, the practical ad-
vantages, and fruitfulness of our Congregational fellowship.
Preaching Missions
We still regard the parish Preaching Mission as an effective agency for strengthen-
ing the spiritual life of the church, and for increasing its influence in the community.
The Conference co-operated in planning nine out of ten such Missions during the
year. The churches and missioners are as follows: Abington, Rev. David J.
Julius; Boxford, Dr. James R. Clinton; Gardner, Rev. Bertram B. Hanscom;
Haverhill, North, Dr. Gaius Glenn Atkins; Newton, First, Dr. Douglas Horton;
Norton, Rev. Clement F. Hahn; Pottersville, Rev. Clifford O. Simpson; Whitman,
Rev. Baldwin W. Callahan; Winthrop, Dr. Gaius Glenn Atkins ; Worcester, Bethany,
Rev. Robert W. Putsch. This is a program in which we would gladly assist every
church.
As evidence of progress in the work of the Conference, and without making repe-
tition, let me refer you to the reports of several of the Conference Committees:
for example, the Committee on Churches and Colleges, and their concern for and
study of "Religion on the Campus"; the Committee on Polity and Standards for
the Ministry in their effort to improve the standards for licensure and ordination;
The Laymen's Committee and their effective contribution to the whole work of the
local church; the Missionary Committee with their participation in the correlation
of all our efforts under the "Program of Progress".
Co-operation
As Congregationalists we rejoice to be participating in this Interchurch Conven-
tion. Here is evidence of the growing recognition that the Church is one. We can
24 Report of the President [ 1940
take some satisfaction in the fact that plans for this Convention received initial
impetus from the vote we passed at our Annual Meeting a year ago, on the recom-
mendation of the Board of Trustees, that, as a denomination, we would heartily join
in such an effort. We welcome this opportunity of demonstrating our faith in the
"unity and catholicity of the Church of Christ".
Our satisfaction in this gathering should be expressed in an increased support of
the Massachusetts Council of Churches. It was Dr. Frank Jennings, Executive
Secretary of the Council, who first had the vision of the possibility of this gathering.
To his leadership we are indebted for the perfecting of the plans. This is but one
example of the vital contribution he is making through the Council of Churches to
the religious life of the State. May we bespeak from every one of our churches an
annual contribution toward the work of the Massachusetts Council of Churches.
As a Conference, we are happy to have as our special guests at this convention
representatives of the Disciples Churches in Massachusetts, and also representatives
from the Rhode Island Congregational Conference. We hope that this may be but
the beginning of a closer affiliation between ourselves and these two groups.
There are other evidences of an increasing interest in co-operative effort. In Pilgrim
Association the suggestion has been made that the churches should undertake the
full support of the missionary work within their bounds. This would mean a doubl-
ing of the contributions of the churches in that Association toward what is known as
"State work". The Berkshire North Association is ready to take a large share of the
expense for the new plant of the Colored Church in Pittsfield. The Greater Boston
Regional Council, made up of four Associations, is discovering a real task in de-
veloping a "Program of Fellowship" between the stronger and the weaker churches
in that area. The Pelham Rural Fellowship has developed a strong program of
mutual helpfulness. This includes pastors' conferences on parish problems, special
union services, laymen's meetings, daily vacation Bible schools, classes in sculptur-
ing, and the operation of two Lord's Acre projects.
Among local churches, the co-operative spirit is evidenced in the formation of
several new federations. The Central Church in Chelsea and the Baker-Maverick
Church in East Boston are working on a plan for a yoked parish. In Woburn the
First Church and the Montvale Church are in the process of developing a larger
parish. In Framingham, Grace Church and Plymouth Church are manifesting a
truly friendly concern for the welfare of their weaker sister church in Saxonville.
For some time the Payson Park Church in Belmont has considered the rural church
in Phillipston as its particular home missionary project. In Barre our Congrega-
tional Church is joining with the Episcopal, Methodist and Unitarian Churches in
a rural missionary work to be known as "The Community Service Center of Barre".
Here Christian workers will be trained to serve their fellows and young people will
receive a practical education for life upon the farm.
Pastoral Changes
W^ithin the Conference year, thirty of our ministers have been called to new pas-
torates within the Conference. Thirty-six of our churches found their new minis-
ters (ten of them were students) outside the State. Fourteen of our Massachusetts
men have been called to churches in other states, seven of them in New England,,
two to New York, and one each to Washington, D. C, California, Florida, Minne-
sota, and Colorado. Seventeen of our churches called to their pulpits men of other
denominations, and the same number of non-Congregational men vacated Massa-
chusetts pulpits. Nineteen of our ministers have retired or gone into other employ-
ment, and four have been added to the list of unemployed. We honor the names of
six ministers who died in active service: James M. Blue, Edward W. Cross, John E.

Grants for Hurricane Repair
Immediately after the hurricane, the Trustees voted an appropriation to assist
our churches, in addition to whatever grants might be made by the Church Building
Department of the Board of Home Missions. Up to the close of the fiscal year grants
totalling $13,352 were made to thirty-five churches. These were made for the most
part where the need was not suiEciently great to warrant incurring the expense of a
mortgage as required by the Church Building Department. The churches receiv-
ing this assistance were: Becket, Federated; Blackstone; Boston, Allston; Boston,
Armenian, First; Brockton, Lincoln; North Chelmsford; Cummington, West;
Fall River, Pilgrim; Falmouth, North; Falmouth, Waquoit; Greenfield, First;
Hadley, First; Hatfield; Haverhill, Bradford, First; Haverhill, Centre; Holbrook;
Holland; Hopkinton; Lawrence, Riverside; North Leominster; Mansfield, West;
Middleton; Norton, Trinitarian; Palmer, Thorndike; Oakham; Rayham, North;
Sandwich, Calvinistic; Somverille, First; Sterling, First; Sunderland; Upton; West
Newbury; Worcester, Armenian; Worcester, Hope.
In Marlboro the assistance was given as a regular annual grant to English-
speaking churches, covering a period of ten years. In Hopkington a special grant
was made, in order that the church might secure a large conditional gift. Anyone
visiting that beautiful new church will rejoice that we, as a Conference, had a share
in its erection.
The Steeple Fund
When we visited the village of Holland last summer nothing could have looked
more desolate, or neglected than our little Church there, with the broken spire Ijang
on the ground at one side, the belfry patched over, and the drab building badly in
need of paint. What was worse was the feeling on the part of some of the villagers
we interviewed that nothing could be done about it. When the pastor. Rev.
Frederick J. Dark was told that through the generosity of a good layman, a gift of
$250 was available to start repairs, the light of encouragement flashed from his eyes,
and he rallied the community to imdertake what seemed to be the impossible. The
people of the parish, together with the summer residents, put on a campaign to raise
the necessary funds, not only to replace the steeple, but repaint the church, shingle
the roof, and landscape the grounds. In this process the church has recovered a
place of importance in the thinking of the whole community, church attendance
has increased, and new members have been enrolled. In September Mr. Dark wrote,
"The Church looks fine. More people are coming to the services. At the commun-
ion thirty-eight persons were present. There is a deep spiritual atmosphere, and we
feel very much encouraged. The church and people wish me to express their sincere
thanks for the check which started this revival, and without which we probably
would not have had the courage to proceed with the repairs." Sixteen communities
had a like experience.
The $5,000 gift made available by an anonymous donor for help in the restoration
of steeples in the Commonwealth during last year was distributed among the follow-
ing churches: Blackstone, Federated; Brimfield, First; Douglas, First; Grafton,
Evangelical; Holland, Orthodox; Merrimac, First; Milford, First; Millbury, First;
Orange, Central; Paxton, First; Princeton, First; Shrewsbury, First; Sutton,
First; Uxbridge, First; Medway, West, Second; and Wrentham, Original. From
the pastor of each has come a letter of enthusiastic appreciation of the incentive,
hope and zeal engendered in his church by a share in this special fund.
26 Report of the President [1940
Due credit and hearty congratulations are extended to the following churches,
which have restored their steeples without assistance from the Conference: Ash-
burnham; East Douglas; Royalston; and Templeton. There are other churches
which for very good reasons have not yet undertaken the program of reconstruction.
These are: Arlington, Orthodox; Monson, Upton, and Westboro. We hope that
before long they may have the joy of completing that task.
A Church Building Pkogram
There are three reasons why we think the Conference should undertake a definite
and progressive church building program : First, the values that have been disclosed
in the grants made for hurricane restoration, particularly the grants from the Special
Steeple Fund. Through the impetus given by these unconditioned though limited
gifts, churches have undertaken tasks which seemed insurmountable. Second, the
new affiliation that has been established between the Conference and the Congrega-
tional Church Union of Boston and Vicinity — under the arrangement that has
been established, the "C.C.U.", so called, will no longer continue in the Greater
Boston area any program of building grants. To the Conference comes the oppor-
tunity and responsibility of carrying on a work that has been a great benefit to our
churches, and of maintaining a splendid record not only within the Greater Boston
area, but across the State. Third, the definite needs of the present moment —
these are strategic situations that are definitely missionary in character. At St.
Mark Colored Church in Roxbury, where our church, under Rev. Samuel L.
Laviscount, serves an ever-growing Negro population, an active program with the
youth of that parish demands a new and enlarged recreational center. The people
of the Pinehurst Church in Billerica have been worshipping for years in a small,
unfinished basement. This is a growing suburban community of modest homes.
Rev. William W. Clark and his wife. Rev. Esther Clark, have so built up this
chiu-ch through the past three years that they must have a new plant. What Mr.
Clark writes regarding this parish is absolutely true: "A church where the need is so
great, the spirit so good, but the means so meagre, offers what strikes me as an ex-
ceptionally good Christian investment." Then there is the Second Church in
Pittsfield, which Dr. T. Nelson Baker served for so many years. Now the Reverend
Harold L. Nevers has been called to this church — a young man, well trained, with
clear vision and fervent spirit. His is the only church ministering especially to
500 Negroes, — 175 of them young people and children. The present plant is an
old, frame building, — poorly located, in bad condition, and inadequate. $30,000
would build a suitable Church and parish house at the heart of the constituency.
There is no Colored church or school in the Southland that merits or needs our
generous support more than this missionary enterprise right at our doors.
These are but three, perhaps the most importunate of several' 'frontier "situations
in the State. Congregational ministers and the laymen were not dismayed in for-
mer days by the challenge of a missionary cause such as this, nor shall we be.
Sensing the demands of the times, the Trustees have already appointed a Building
Committee. Their first undertaking will be the securing of new money through con-
tributions and personal gifts, so that the Conference may build up the strong founda-
tion laid by the Congregational Chiuch Union.
The Ministers' Room
To the American Congregational Association, the corporation which owns and
manages the Congregational House at 14 Beacon Street, we are indebted for the
1940] Report of the President 27
use of a room on the same floor as our Conference offices for the ministers of the
State. It has been felt that at our headquarters there should be a social room where
ministers could readily gather when they have leisure time. The Executive Com-
mittee of the Boston Ministers' Meeting took the initial steps in securing a place.
The Conference has sponsored its furnishing. The Associations have been asked to
contribute toward its expense. Eight Associations have already done so: Andover,
Berkshire North and South, Hampden, Pilgrim, Suffolk North, Suffolk South, and
Hampshire. There have been a few individual contributions. The room is already
proving its worth, which we hope will increase as more men discover its comfort
and convenience.
Debt of Honor
Last year we accepted as our goal for the Debt of Honor $200,000. During the
year thirty-eight more churches have participated. The total amount pledged in
Massachusetts up to May 2nd, 1940, was $127,651. During the year we have
made definite progress, but there is still much to be done. With only 62% of our
churches contributing up to the present time, it surely ought to be possible for us
to raise the additional $72,000 needed, if every church will do its part. The aver-
age per capita giving of our members so far is seventy-four cents. In Connecticut it
is a dollar and ten cents. The Bay State surely ought to be able to equal that
record. We have in Massachusetts 213 members of the Original Plan. It is for
the maintenance of the annuities of these men that we call for the raising of our
share of the Debt of Honor.
"Lest We Forget"
Assembled here in security and comfort, we cannot be unmindful of the calamity
and destruction visited upon so many of the peoples of the world. While we at-
tempt to strengthen our spiritual resources, we dare not allow our hearts to be-
come numbed by the persistent pleas for compassion. There are two agencies of
mercy for which we ask support from every church: The Church Committee for
China Relief, and the Christian Committee for Refugees. For the former we ask
that every Congregational Church in Massachusetts try to give at least one "Save
A Life" unit of twelve dollars for the x^ar. For the Christian refugees from Europe
we ask from each church a share in a definite, permanent placement, or a share in a
passage ticket for the refugees still abroad. In gratitude to a Providence which
has so far spared our communities and om- homes from the lust of war, in charity
for a stricken neighbor, let us "bind up his wounds".
May we, on behalf of this Conference, express your gratitude to the Trustees
whom you elected four years ago and who retire from the Board at the close of this
Annual Meeting. They are Mrs. David Findlay of Athol, Mrs. Walter E. Schuster
of East Douglas, Rev. Alfred J. Barnard of Roslindale, Rev. John Cummings of
Marlborough, completing the term of Rev. G. Edgar Wolfe, William F. Farley of
Waltham and Burton S. Flagg of Andover. As President we can testify to the faith-
ful and valuable service they have given to the churches of the Conference, also
to the thorough and co-operative work of the Staff.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
According to the By-Laws of the Conference, the Secretary "shall present to the
Conference at its Annual Meeting a general statistical statement of the progress
of religion in the churches for the past calendar year." I have always felt that the
most important part of church work cannot be expressed in statistics; also a merely
statistical statement of the churches of the Conference would have to be very brief,
if it were only to report the progress of religion in the churches. However, I shall
try my best to follow the prescription of the By-Laws.
Comparing the years 1940 and 1929, we have these interesting figiu-es: —

1929
Massachusetts had 11% of the
Congregational churches in the

We may add here that in 1941, the oldest Congregational church in the country,
the one at West Barnstable, should celebrate its 325th Anniversary. It was
founded in 1616, in London, and was driven by persecution, first to the Continent
and then to Scituate, Massachusetts, and finally to West Barnstable, its present
location.
The Conference congratulates all of these churches on their splendid record
of achievement.
Last January 9, we held our second annual Interdenominational Bilingual Con-
ference at the Church of All Nations. Such a meeting reminds us of the hospitable
inscription on the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, written by Emma Lazarus :
"Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
1940] Report of the Secretary 31
'Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!' cries she.
With silent lips, 'Give me your tired, your poor.
Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
James Russell Lowell called "the church the first organized democracy." Theo-
dore Parker wrote that "Democracy says not that I am as good as you, but you are
as good as I am."
It is interesting to note that at least one of our state associations has voted to
find a home for one family of European refugees — a splendid thing to do.
The foundations of our democracy and of our beloved Christian faith are identical,
in that they both rest upon the infinite value of the individual person as a child of
God, and the fact that all persons the world over are made of one blood. One
scholar, writing of race and national prejudice, puts it this way: "The effect of race
prejudice on individuals who hold it is to limit their power of discrimination. It
blinds a man to differences where these would otherwise be easily seen. . . . This is
a sort of mental laziness due to an emotional attitude, which, being directed toward
a class, is manifested toward the varying members of a class as if it did not vary."
St. Mark Church, our Negro church in Boston, is working valiantly for the pro-
posed new building for their social center. With 20,000 colored people in Boston
and a goodly proportion of them Congregationalists, they ought to have larger
facilities for their work then they have at present. What young people do with
their leisure time is quite as important as what they do with their work and study
time.
Our Rochester-Lakeville Larger Parish is facing the future with high hope and
strong courage, under the new leadership of Mr. Arthur W. Kennan. We earnestly
hope that other churches of other denominations will soon join this group of
churches under this effective method of church work. Not far away from the
Rochester-Lakeville area, another group of churches are seriously considering this
technique of church work. They are meeting and surmounting difficulties, and
we hope soon they will be able to co-operate.
In all this federation and Larger Parish work, the churches co-operate not to re-
duce the cost, but to enrich the content of their Christian life.
The fine work of the Pelham Co-operative Parish, under the leadership of Rever-
tend Harold B. White, is deserving of commendation. One who knows the work
here well says that it is "unique in that it represents the largest number of churches
and denominations in a co-operative effort, of which we have record."

Rev. Ralph M. Timbeklake, D.D., President,
Massachusetts Congregational CoNrEBS:NCE and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts.
Sir:
We have audited the accounts of the Treasurer of the Massachusetts Congrega-
tional Conference and Missionary Society and of the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference and Missionary Society, Trustee, for the year ending March 31, 1940,
and we report that income receivable from invested funds and all other income as
shown by the books of the Society have been accounted for; that we have seen paid
checks or other evidence of payment for all disbursements; that we have verified
the possession of the securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1940;
that the cash in banks and office at March 31, 1940, has been verified, and that, in
our opinion, the accompanying financial statements correctly exhibit the condition
of the Funds in the hands of the Society as at the close of business March 31, 1940,
and the Treasurer's transactions during the year ending at that date.
Respectfully submitted,
PATTERSON, TEELE AND DENNIS
1940] Advance Reports 43
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
TO THE ANNUAL MEETING
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE
AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
The activities of the Committee on Religious Education during the past year
have included the following major items.
Several meetings have been held in which careful study was given to ways and
means of strengthening the religious educational work in the churches of the state
and to some specific items mentioned below.
Copies of the Program of Progress were sent to the pastors of our churches,
with a letter calling attention to the articles of information and suggestion appear-
ing in the state and denominational periodicals. A schedule of summer conferences
available to Massachusetts churches, with the main facts as to dates, location, cost,
etc., was also sent out.
District Meetings. Five district meetings were held, in co-operation with Asso-
ciational committees on missions and women's work, in September and October,
for the purpose of acquainting workers with the purpose and nature of the Program
of Progress and the best methods of promoting its use. These meetings were held
at Worcester, North Andover, Florence, Taunton and the Andover Newton Theo-
logical School in Newton. They were well attended, every association being
represented, with one exception; and many practical suggestions and plans resulted
therefrom.
Children's Work. A forward step was taken in delegating to the Education
Committee of the Woman's Department responsibility for the development of
children's work throughout the churches of the state. This was with the cordial
agreement on the part of the Woman's Department and with the understanding
that the chairman of the Woman's Committee on Religious Education should be
a member of the state committee, thus insuring exchange of information and
co-operation in the carrying on of the work.
Young People's Work. Several items of importance may be noted under this
head.
1 . A pamphlet entitled Massachusetts Pilgrim Fellowship has been issued giving
full information regarding the purposes and nature of the Pilgrim Fellowship,
its place in the life and work of our churches, its relationship to other groups already
organized, such as Christian Endeavor, Comrades of the Way, and the like; infor-
mation regarding available materials and helps, the Constitution of the Massachu-
setts Council of Pilgrim Fellowship, and important facts regarding the relationship
of associational and state councils. The committee would urge every pastor and
youth leader to secm-e a copy of this pamphlet from the state Conference office and
to study it with care. We especially call attention to the suggestions for making
this important work an integral and vital factor in the program of every Association.
2. Summer Conferences. The Pilgrim Fellowship conferences held at Amherst
last summer were successful, inspiring, and practically helpful. These will be held
44 Advance Reports [1940
again this summer: the First High School Conference at the Massachusetts State
College, at Amherst, June 23-30, with Rev. Paul Hobensack as Dean; the Second
High School Conference, June 30- July 7, at the same place, with Rev. Otto Karl
Jonas as Dean. A third conference, to be called the Pilgrim Fellowship Council,
will be held at Wilbraham Academy, June 23-30. This conference is to be for the
purpose of working out a definite program for the Fellowship in the state, and is
open to metobers of the state council, officers and leaders of Associational councils,
and young people who have graduated from high school up to three years above
that. Full information regarding these can be secured from the folder ' ' Pilgrim
Summer Conferences — Season of 1940" and later bulletins.
3. The Pilgrim Fellowship meeting in connection with the General Council.
One of the most significant forward steps that has been taken in our denomination
in a long time is the holding of a meeting of the National Council of the Pilgrim
Fellowship in conjunction with the meeting of the General Council. To bring
such a body of selected young people from our churches into close contact with the
main oflScial assembly of the churches is something that has tremendous possibili-
ties for the future, and the way in which the Pilgrim Fellowship meeting was con-
ducted at Rockford College two years ago indicates that our young people are
prepared to accept responsibility when they have the opportunity.
The meeting in August will be a delegated body. Massachusetts is entitled
to four delegates. It is our understanding that no provision is made for the ap-
pointment or expenses of these delegates, except as they take the place of lay men
or women who might otherwise be sent to the General Council. This seems a
serious defect in so important an undertaking and it is to be hoped that the way
will be found to send the full quota from this state and also that definite provision
will be made for this in the future.
Adult Work. The committee hopes that the coming year will see definite progress
made in the religious education of adults. This is needed, not only that men and
women may be better fitted to meet the perplexing problems of modern life in
a Christian way, but also for the sake of our children and youth. They learn far
more deeply by the experience of living and growing up with adults than by what
we tell them, and unless parents and other adult leaders have a positive and vital
religious experience to share with them, their training will be largely ineffective.
In this connection we would call attention to an exceptional opportunity for
men and women in the New England Conference of the United Christian Adult
Movement, to be held July 20-27, in conjunction with the Northfield Conference
of Religious Education. This will bring together some of the best leaders in this
field in the country and every church should be represented there, so far as may
be possible. Full information may be secured from Rev. J. L. Lobingier of the
Division of Christian Education, 14 Beacon Street.
Working toward a more unified program. It has been evident for some time that
much of our work could be greatly improved by a more unified program, developed
co-operatively by all our state committees, and with all of them behind it and push-
ing it with full knowledge of the whole, instead of separate and sometimes uncoordi-
nated or even conflicting efforts. A two-day meeting of members of the various
committees was held at Concord in November and several meetings have grown
out of this. There is now in view the development of a complete and well balanced
program of activities for each age-group in the church which may be vigorously
promoted by the entire state force, working largely through Association committees
and individual churches. The Progi-am of Progress will form the basis of this
1940] Advance Reports 45
program. It needs to be further interpreted and implemented in order to secure
its more general and successful application and the committee on Religious Educa-
tion will work vigorously and whole-heartedly with the others in this undertaking.
Finally, the committee feels that the time has come for a more serious study and
more vigorous prosecution of educational work in the churches. During the years
of financial depression, this work has suffered. Unfortunately, it has been, in
many cases, one of the first points at which economy was practiced. It is proving
to be a costly economy. We would urge upon the churches the wisdom and the
necessity of making more adequate provision in their budgets for the work of
Christian education of children, young people, and adults; and, so far as possible,
that additions to church staffs of educational directors or other trained leaders be
given careful consideration.
For the Committee,
Herbert W. Gates, Chairman
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
MORAL AND SOCIAL WELFARE
Monthly meetings have been held by the Committee. At the first meeting last
fall Rev. Harold Martin of Foxboro was chosen Chairman. The following month
Mr. Martin announced his resignation as he had accepted a call to a church in
another state. Rev. Joseph C. MacDonald of Waban was then elected Chairman.
Mrs. Benjamin C. Lane has continued to serve as the efficient and faithful Secretary.
The state legislature not being in session this year the pressure upon the Com-
mittee has been somewhat less. Several of our meetings have been concerned with
ways and means of co-operating with the other State committees.
A recent meeting, at which the Social Relations Committee of the Woman's
Department met with us, discussed at length the German Christian Refugee prob-
lem. Some hundreds of refugees in great need of financial and moral help will land
at the port of Boston this spring. Mrs. Epstein, of the Greater Boston Committee,
of which Rev. R. H. Stafford is the Chairman, told us in detail of the problems and
difficulties being faced by that Committee. As a result of this meeting a special
Easter Appeal for help was sent out to the Ministers of our Churches. The value
of that appeal will depend upon the support given to it by those to whom it was sent.
One of the most interesting undertakings of the Committee this year has been
the preparing of two pages each month in the Pilgram State News. It had originally
been our hope to send out mimeographed letters two or three times during the
spring. These letters were to give facts of interest and importance in the social and
economic field. Because of the expense and work which this would involve we were
persuaded to try the present arrangement. This gives us much less space for our
material and is less convenient in some ways for filing, but it goes out to more
people. The editor is Prof. A. Philip Guiles (340 Chestnut Street, West Newton),
and he would welcome your suggestions regarding these pages.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MINISTERIAL AID
For The Year 1939
The Board of Ministerial Aid, founded in 1869, makes its seventieth annual
report to the churches of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society.
The Board pursues its method of making annual appropriations to be paid on a
quarterly basis to those who are eligible to receive such regular aid. In addition
to this, cases of emergency are met by appropriations from an Emergency Fund
toward the needs of sickness, hospital experiences or fimerals. All business trans-
acted during the year has been officially approved by the entire Executive Commit-
tee.
On January 1, 1939, we had a "family" of seventy-eight, of which there were
thirty-four ministers, forty-one widows, two single women and one child. Death
has claimed seven of this number:
Rev. Edward L. Chute Rev. Edward A. McMaster
Rev. Reuben J. Goddard Mrs. Adda E. Breed
Rev. John C. Hall Mrs. Harriet M. Dyer
Rev. Garabed Manavian
Grants to two of our members were discontinued because of other income made
available. Ten have been added to our list, making the total seventy-nine on
January 1, 1940. These are thirty-four ministers, forty-three widows, one single
woman and one child.
Aside from the five persons who received regular grants from the Emergency
Fund, twenty-five received special grants. Seventeen of these were regular bene-
ficiaries, and eight were outside our regular list. From this Fimd, also, we paid for
forty-eight annual subscriptions to Advance for those who indicated their desire.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
EVANGELISM AND DEVOTIONAL LIFE
The first project of your Committee, during the past year, was the holding of four
Ministers' Retreats during the month of September, 1939. These were held at
Plymouth, Adelynrood, Senexet and Northfield. Rev. Douglas Horton, Minister
and Secretary of the General Council served as leader and Rev. Randolph S. Merrill
of Newtonville as Chaplain.
These retreats were well attended and the interest shown has encouraged the
Committee in projecting three retreats to be held in early September, 1940.
The Committee also co-operated with the National Committee under Rev.
Frederick L. Fagley, in holding eight Pastor's Institutes on Evangelism in Massa-
chusetts Oct. 39-Nov. 9, 1939. These Institutes were held at Brockton, Taunton,
Andover, Fitchburg, Worcester, Springfield, Pittsfield and Greenfield. Rev. Gains
Glenn Atkins and Rev. Arthur Bradford with Rev. Frederick L. Fagley acted as
leaders.
The Committee has been represented at several meetings, in union with other
State Committees, in an effort to co-ordinate our State work.
The Committee wishes to express its thanks to Pres. Ralph M. Timberlake for
his constant assistance and helpful suggestions and we are also grateful for the use
of the state oiEce in carrying out our projects.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON POLITY AND STANDARDS
FOR THE MINISTRY
The Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry has held only two
meetings by itself during the current Conference year. On February 20, 1939,
delegates to whom all matters relative to ministerial standards had been assigned
by all the Associations within the State accepted the invitation of our Committee
to attend a meeting in Worcester, to begin the study of the reports of our Associa-
tions made to Mr. Hartshorne in connection with his questionnaire. The intense
interest revealed by the attendance and participation at that meeting led our Com-
mittee to believe that we might best serve the Conference by continuing meetings
for representatives of the Credentials Committees and the Scribes of all State
Associations, together with members of our Committee. To that end, three such
meetings have been held, one during the Conference meetings at Northampton,
and two in Park Church, Worcester.
These meetings have proven exceptionally helpful; for all Associations in our
State have been seeking a greater degree of uniformity, and many Associations
have been working toward constitutional amendments relative to ministerial
standards and have therefore been greatly aided by sharing with this larger group
the problems which face us all. J. William L. Graham, Stephen C. Lang, Harry
W. Foot, President Timberlake, and Field Secretary Tuttle, in addition to mem-
bers of our Committee, have served on special committees preparing statements of
requirements and practices to be recommended for licensure, ordination, installa-
tion, recognition, etc. We have considered, also, another possible ranking which
would correspond with the type of work now done by a "lay preacher".
The Committee has been requested by these groups to issue findings of the meet-
ings, and this we are doing.
Your Committee offers the following recommendations, to be presented at the
Annual Meeting of the State Conference in Worcester:
1. That the Officers and Credentials Committees of all our Associations be urged
to study the findings issued by this Committee.
2. That all Association Committees on Credentials keep in touch with the Con-
ference Committee on Polity, which stands ready to assist.
3. That the work begun by our Committee relative to establishing more uniform
procedure in the selection, licensing, and ordaining of Congregational ministers
in the State be continued next J'ear.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WOMAN'S WORK
The far-reaching and estabUshed aims of Congregational Woman's Work, pro-
moting the work of the local church and strengthening the cause of Christ through-
out the world, have been, as previously, the energizing force for the work of this
department. To support these aims this year three concrete ideals were adopted:
to deepen the spiritual life; to strengthen the consciousness of stewardship; to look
beyond the local community in an endeavor to see the picture as a whole, that the
outreach of the local church may be widened through district and conference con-
sciousness.
That there has been a definite deepening of the spiritual life is evidenced by the
increase in the number of devotional groups meeting through the year. Whether
this increase is due to special effort within the districts or to influences at work in
the world at large would be impossible to tell, but the fact that it does exist gives
added hope for the future of the church.
The strengthening of the sense of stewardship is much more difficult to appraise
but the fact is most encouraging that more women are coming to realize that
stewardship includes more than money gifts and are giving more freely of their
time and talent.
It is a great satisfaction to report a definitely broadening District and Conference
consciousness throughout the entire state. That we have become so aware of this
in so short a time is the result of the past years of unremitting labor and loyalty
on the part of the women who in local church and upon state committee have served
so faithfully.
The Executive Committee has held four meetings. The first was a retreat at
Adelynrood where the newly elected members in two days of intensive study
caught a vision of the scope of the Department of Woman's W^ork and the impor-
tant part each would play in the progi-am of the year ahead. In September the
morning session was held at the State OflBce with lunch and afternoon program at
the Walker Missionary Homes in Auburndale. The spring meetings were also held
at 14 Beacon StreeJt in March and April. We have been fortunate in having at
these meetings the counsel and advice of Mrs. Mary D. White, Mrs. William H.
Medlicott, Rev. Ralph Timberlake, Rev. Henry David Gray, Mrs. Royal G.
Whiting, Rev. John L. Lobingier and Miss Anita Kemp.
This year the aim of the Box Work Committee, Miss Amelia J. Burrill, Chairman,
has been to emphasize especially the thought of stewardship. This has helped to
make the work more personal and many churches are showing a real interest in
the schools and hospitals to which the supplies are sent. The second aim has been
an attempt to bring the local church groups into closer touch with the state work
as a whole. Appeals sent out to the church schools for Christmas boxes met with
a fine response, twelve districts having contributed. Thus the educational part of
this work is begun with the children.
The Education Committee, Mrs. Franklin G. Field, Chairman, presented the
Program of Progress to the women of the state at the first Pilgrim Hall meeting
and in harmony with that program has stressed the three aims of the Department
of Woman's Work. This committee has promoted the Reading List, the denomina-
tional publications and mission study literature, has issued three bulletins, held a
conference for District chairmen and assisted in setting up district and local con-
1940] Advance Reports 51
ferences. There is an increasing use of the conference type of District meeting.
The committee has stressed the importance of study groups so planned that they
offer something of interest to women of all ages and temperaments.
At a meeting of State Conference Committees held at Concord in November the
Religious Education Committee voted to entrust to the Department of Woman's
Work the promotion of the program for the children of the church. A meeting of
Association and District children's leaders was called and plans made for the further-
ance of this work.
The Public Meetings Committee, Mrs. Roy H. Bradford, Chairman, has planned
the Pilgrim Hall meetings and brought for our inspiration many outstanding speak-
ers. The programs began with "Church Work with a Plan," a presentation of the
Program of Progress by Rev. Harry T. Stock and Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake. On
that afternoon a conference was conducted by Miss Pattie Lee Coghill of Florida,
extension worker of the Board of Home Missions. Miss Mary McClure's message,
"China — Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," and the Christmas inspirational serv-
ice conducted by Rev. Ashley Day Leavitt left the thought for the closing year on a
high spiritual plane. The January meeting, "The Church in Time of War," in
charge of the Committee on Social Relations and Christian Citizenship, introduced
Rev. Charles M. Styron of Lincoln who brought the thought, "The Present Situa-
tion and the Christian Point of View," while Rev. John L. Lobingier presented, "A
Definite Church Program to Meet the Situation." An afternoon meeting presented
Mrs. Wilhelmina S. Davis and Miss Olive K. Pitman^ who demonstrated methods
of teaching Social Action. "Moslems and Christians" was the subject of the Febru-
ary meeting by Miss Zakeya Esa, a teacher in the United Presbyterian Girls' College
in Cairo. Rev. Robert G. Armstrong, Superintendent of the New Hampshire
Congregational-Christian Conference, brought a stirring message to the March
program when he spoke on "Churchmanship." The April program presented the
SchaufHer College Choir, always welcome guests in Boston. The year has closed
most fittingly with an address by Miss Helen Frances Smith, Information Secretary
of the Board of Home Missions, on the subject "Temples Still Undone." A Home
Missions Institute followed this in the afternoon participated in by Miss Smith,
Rev. James E. Walter, Associate Secretary of the Missions Council, and some of
our own church women.
We are very grateful also to all who have brought a message in worship and in
song — Mrs. Eleanor Gulick Gutterson, Mrs. Samuel M. LePage, Mrs. Frances
Dunlevy, Mrs. Charles E. Reidt, Mrs. Edward C. Camp, Mrs. Adolph G. Ekdahl,
Miss Louise Fay, and Mrs. Franklin G. Field.
The Committee on Social Relations and Christian Citizenship, Mrs. Erwin L.
Shaver, Chairman, reports an increase in the number of District social action chair-
men. The committee has sent out suggestions for programs, co-operated in the
reading list and held two demonstrations of teaching social action in women's
groups. The refugee and delinquency problems have been stressed. A list of suit-
able plays is being prepared. A conference of social action chairmen was held in
April for discussion of a more concrete program.
In reviewing the year from this point two major activities stand out; the pro-
motion of the program for children's work and an institute held in Springfield in
April. This institute was planned by the women of Hampden District and shared
by Franklin, Hampshire and Berkshire. The Chairman, Vice Chairman, Chairman
of the Education Committee and the Executive Secretary attended, each leading a
discussion during the seminar period.
52 Advance Reports [1940
The Chairman here wishes to express deep gratitude for the co-operation of all
who have served in office this year, local presidents and District chairmen, and the
Executive Committee, which includes our women trustees. District presidents and
chairmen of standing committees. These last mentioned chairmen have met regu-
larly as the Business Committee to plan the work of the department and they have
indeed done this well. All of these women have brought a little nearer the realiza-
tion of our common aim, that of united work for Christ's Kingdom.
A report of the work of the department would not be complete without a tribute
paid to the outstanding service rendered this year by Mrs. Adolph G. Ekdahl,
Executive Secretary. Her untiring interest in the work, even to the slightest detail,
her acquaintance throughout the state and grasp of the entire Conference picture,
acquired in so short a time are of great help to the increasing number of women
who call upon her for advice.
May the women of Congregational Massachusetts go on to future service with
renewed consecration. May the fine pattern drawn by the splendid women who
have shown us the way be the high standard toward which we strive so that each
year, as greater tasks are faced, they will be met with that courage and devotion
which are worthy of (^r goodly heritage.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
OF WOMAN'S WORK
As I come to the writing of my first annual report as Executive Secretary of
Woman's Work, it is with a deep sense of gratitude for the most satisfying year of
my life from the standpoint of opportunity for service. The days and most of the
evenings with occasional Sundays have been full of conferences and committee
meetings, interviews and speaking engagements, correspondence and creative work.
My vacation was spent in part visiting some of our home mission fields and
conferring with leaders in woman's work in other sections of the country. I attended
a number of the sessions of the Missionary Conference at Northfield and the Pilgrim
Fellowship Conference at Amherst, the School of Democracy held at Andover
Newton Theological School and participated in the Conference on Successful
Marriage at Simmons College, helping to conduct the seminar which had to do with
the contributions community organizations such as the church can make. I also
attended the Regional Meeting at Waterbury and the Mid-Winter Meetings at
Evanston, Illinois.
Coming into this office in June, my speaking engagements did not begin until
fall, but since that time they have led me into over fifty local church groups.
In addition to those, I have participated in some twenty District and Association
programs and have had scattered appointments out of state and with secular
organizations.
In the way of creative work I have prepared worship and consecration services
for particular needs, discussion group questions and study outlines for distribution
and use, as well as soliciting and editing material for the pages assigned to Massa-
chusetts Women in the "Pilgrim State News."
It is interesting to note that the demand for home missionary parsonage box
applications has far exceeded the supply for several months and a waiting list
accumulated before each group of applications could reach us from New York.
Some seventy families were taken care of by about sixty churches.
Although there is much emphasis placed by our leaders on the educational
aspect of women's organization programs and more and more of our societies
are planning and presenting a large part of them by depending on their own re-
sources, there are still needs for speakers from our mission fields and elsewhere
who may bring the message from broader experience. Eight hundred speakers
have been sent out to serve our churches and many recommendations made that
have not been recorded. It has been a rich privilege to make and renew acquaint-
ances with our missionaries on visits from the home fields and on furloughs from
foreign lands and then to be able to send them forth into our church groups.
With the accent on varied and balanced programs for our women's organizations*
young people's groups, church schools, men's clubs and church services, requests
come for many types of speakers. In view of this a speakers' list is in process of
being compiled to be ready for use next fall by our ministers and program chairmen.
And now with another year ahead, I pray for a renewal of consecration to this
glorious task of serving you in the Congregational chiurches of our state.

THE BOSTON SEAMAN'S FRIEND SOCIETY, INC.
PRESENTS
INFORMATION PLEASE
Questions which thoughtful Congregationalists in Massachusetts want to have
answered concerning this Society which they help to support and which is doing
their work for deserving seamen.
Question: What does the sailor need ashore?
Answer: He needs a home, shelter, warmth and food. He needs clean entertain-
ment to keep up his morale when out of work. He needs the uplift of
simple, sincere, religious services. He needs friends to counsel and guide
him and to make him feel he is still a part of a family. All these be finds
at the Sailor's Rest in Boston and the Bethel at Vineyard Haven.
Question: What special services does this Society offer?
Answer : A free employment agency to make contacts between shipping agencies
and the unemployed seamen. An opportunity to open bank accounts in
co-operation with a reliable savings bank. An arrangement for competent
care in sickness at the Chelsea Marine Hospital and a home to come to
on leaving the hospital. Legal advice, when difficulties are encountered
through ignorance or inexperience. Loans (generally repaid) to carry
a seaman to distant work or home. Launch service during the summer
months for distribution of sea-libraries and magazines among the ships
in Boston. Launch service at Vineyard Haven continues the year round.
Question: How are the finances handled?
Answer : The income from Endowment and Trust Funds with rents received from
our Hanover Street stores is sufficient to pay all salaries of Executives,
and the wages of the men (all ex -sailors) who are employed at the
Sailor's Rest and the Bethel.
All money received from churches and individuals goes into the work
among and for the seamen.
The cost of maintaining the work for 1939 was $45,043.09. The receipts
from the churches were $5,309.92, of which Massachusetts gave $2,710.93
This represents a loss of $370.87 from the New England churches and
a loss of $148.66 from those of Massachusetts.
Question: Does the sailor himself pay anything?
Answer: A charge of fifty cents is made for a night's lodging and two square meals.
If a seaman is without funds, he is served just the same. This past year
12,802 men were housed and fed and of this number 8,304 were unable
at the time to pay. A large proportion of the men do pay when they
obtain work. Pretty good evidence of the character of the men we serve
and of their appreciation of what we do for them.
We trust our answers to the above questions will convince you of the real value of our
work and that you will continue your co-operation and support.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS
AND APPORTIONMENT
During the piast year, the Committee has endeavored to co-operate fully with
other committees of the State Conference in formulating a comprehensive Program
of Progress which might clarify and unify the work and purpose of all committees
and also prevent duplication of effort. Early in the fall, in conjunction with the
Religious Education Committee and Woman's Work Committee, five District meet-
ings were planned and held throughout the State for the purpose of bringing to-
gether, for conference, the Association Committees on Missions, Religious Educa-
tion, and Women's Work. These District meetings were held as follows:
September 26 — Andover-Newton Theological School
September 28 — Adams Square Church, Worcester
October 2 — North Andover Church
October 3 — First Church, Florence
October 5 — Central Church, Middleboro
On November 21-21, the Committee was well represented at a joint meeting of
the Conference Committees held in the Trinitarian Church at Concord. This meet-
ing was of great value in correlating the work of all committees and showing the
need for further co-ordination. A comprehensive Program of Progress was fully
discussed, and it was generally agreed that the task of making the program effective
in the local churches lay, in large measure, with Association officers, committees,
and local pastors.
On January 15, 1940, the Committee again participated in a joint meeting of
Conference Committees held at 14 Beacon Street, for the purpose of considering
five objectives of the Program of Progress according to the following age groupings:
(1) Children
(2) Young People
(3) Young Adults
(4) Adults
The five objectives were as follows:
(1) Knowing and Using the Bible
(2) The Home
(3) Increase, Reaching the Unreached
(4) Missions
(5) More and Better Workers
Practical suggestions were offered by the various Committees for a unified and cor-
related program according to age groups.
It is gratifying to note that, despite heavy demands made upon many of our
churches for repairs caused by the hurricane, the giving for Congregational benevo-
lences from our Massachusetts churches was only 1/10 of 1% less than last year.
Eleven of our Associations increased their giving over the previous year, and 253
churches increased and 50 churches maintained the amounts given for benevolences.
In view of this encouraging showing, the Committee wishes to recommend that the
Conference adopt a goal of $300,000 for the coming year. This would mean only a
slight increase in the per capita giving for missions. The past year it has been $1.46
56 Advance Reports [1940
per member, and for the coming year we would endeavor to increase it to $1.56
per member.
The Committee again urges fuller use and circulation of "The Pilgrim State
News." The World Service Program materials for church schools are recom-
mended. The pamphlet "A Program of Progress", is commended for its valuable
suggestions in building a unified parish program of Christian Education.
We further suggest:
That Sunday Schools adopt the use of duplex envelopes for weekly contributions
as a means of training children in benevolence giving.
That young people's societies and young adult groups undertake some mission-
ary education in conjunction with their regular program.
That the Treasurer of Benevolences, where possible and practical, be a separate
oflBce other than the Treasurer for church current ex'penses.
That Association missionary committees should include, as far as possible, a
representative from each of the following groups: Woman's Department; the Pil-
grim Fdlowship; and the Laymen's Fellowship.
The Committee wishes to acknowledge the helpful co-operation and encourage-
ment of Mr. Timberlake, President of the Conference, who has given generously of
his time and experience in the work of the Committee.
These are days when, as Christians, we deeply need the vision and faith which
comes from the knowledge that ours is a Gospel for all mankind, and that the
religion of Jesus Christ involves not only shared experiences but shared resources.
Vital Christianity is reflected in the missionary motive, and it is the high privilege
and joy of the Christian Church always to be challenged by the need of those be-
yond the borders of the local parish. The ministers and members of our Massa-
chusetts churches are asked to offer up prayers continually for the wider work and
the farther outreach of Christ's Kingdon of love here on earth.

If there were space it might be worthwhile to try to put substance into some of
these figm-es.
The callers, for instance, with whom have been discussed matters that
relate so fundamentally to the life of the churches and to the lives of
ministers.
The letters, which cannot be handled as a matter of routine but to
each one of which such thought must be given as evinces a real effort
to deal with the problem suggested.
The total number of "settlements completed" which as a whole have
involved a great deal of correspondence and much personal conference.
A part of the latter has been the Secretary's meetings with church
committees both in the field and in the office. Such meetings must
not be slighted either as to time or attention.
The records of ministers which have been sent as promptly as possible,
largely in response to requests.
Attention may be called to the increasing service being rendered to churches
outside New England — 46 as against 33, 18, and 19 respectively in the three
preceding years. This would seem to indicate that there is a real call for the Na-
tional Board of Pastoral Information which is now being considered by the General
Council's Commission on the Ministry. The number of miscellaneous organiza-
tions which turn to us for suggestions for their executive officers is also increasing.
Financial Report
This increased work which the office has been called upon to do is shown in the
Treasurer's report which will be found on a subsequent page. The expenditures
have exceeded the receipts by $239.99. (Note: the telephone and telegraph was
$28.49 and the postage was $38.14, more than last year.) This brings down our
working balance to $925.74 which is undesirably low. Included in the "Contribu-
tions from individuals and churches" (9 individuals and 17 churches) is $80 from
the New York Congregational Conference. This will be increased to $100 next
year and is appropriated in view of the increasing service that we are rendering
the churches of the State of New York.
The amount received for the Secretary's preaching is a gain of $116.69 over the
preceding year. However, he continues to make this preaching fundamentally
serve the work of the Board in helping churches secure ministers. Of the total
number of 43 pulpits supplied 38 were in this class. The fees from ministers for
whom supplies were arranged were $36.25 less than last year. Tliis is due to the
new rule that the usual ten per cent will not be asked for fees of $15 or less. No fees
are charged ministers for registering with this office as desiring churches or for
preaching as candidates.
Items of Interest
The Board has held its usual two meetings during the year, in June and in Decem-
ber. The attendance has been seventeen and sixteen respectively out of a total
membership of twenty-one (nine from Massachusetts, five from Connecticut, two
\
60 Advance Reports [1940
each from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and one from Rhode Island).
The Executive Committee (consisting of one member from each state with the
chairman and treasurer ex officio) has met twice. These meetings are character-
ized by a careful discussion of the policies and problems of the Board.
The figures of graduates of seminaries who were planning to enter the Congrega-
tional ministry at Commejicement, 1939, were : Andover, 10; Atlanta, 3; Bangor,
7; Chicago, 15; Hartford, 4; Harvard, 4; Oberlin, 4; Pacific, 3; Union, 4; Yale,
12. Total 66. This compares with an average for the four preceding years of 69.
In this connection it may be noted that the Andover-Newton Seminary launched
a new adventure by inviting the Secretary of this Board and an official of the
Massachusetts Baptist State Convention to examine the members of their senior
class ' ' with reference to their general fitness for the ministry, on the practical side."
The examination was both oral and written and took two full days of the examiners'
time.
The General Council Commission on the Ministry, of which your Secretary is
chairman^ has given careful study to standards for licensure and ordination which
it will ask the General Council to consider at the coming meeting at Berkeley
and if thought best recommend to conferences, associations, and churches.
The questionnaire which was devised in 1935-36 as a means of securing fuller
and more accurate information with regard to ministers has been revised this year
and we believe definitely improved. Informants are asked to express themselves
with regard to (1) a minister's conduct of worship and preaching, (2) his pastoral
work, (3) his work with young people, (4) his administration of a church, and (5) his
personal characteristics. The corresponding blank with regard to churches is
being filled out by church officials with gratifying care.
The leaflet "How a Congregational-Christian Church May Secure a Pastor"
issued in 1938 has now been supplemented by a briefer leaflet entitled "Advice to
Advisers" which deals with the problem of recommending a minister to a church
or helping a minister to change. Both these leaflets are published by the General
Council but were prepared in this office.
Statement of Principles
At the last meeting of the Board the members discussed the question as to how
far the work of the Board was understood by ministers and churches. To the end
that it may be better understood the following statement has been prepared with
the approval of the Executive Committee.
In helping New England churches to secure the most efficient pastoral service
the Board is not to assign or to appoint ministers to churches. If the independence
of the local church has any meaning at all it means that a Congregational-Christian
church has the right and the duty to choose its own minister. Moreover, no
denominational official or organization, even though set up by the churches as
a whole to help them, has a right to force himself or itself upon a church. If a
church definitely indicates that it wants to go its own way this desire must be
respected even though the way does not seem to be a good one.
But a Board like ours has a right to offer its service to churches and when such
an offer is accepted the Secretary will proceed in at least two ways. First, he will
discuss with a responsible committee or officers of the church or if desired with the
church itself the best procedm-e for securing a minister. Next, he will afford the
church reliable and adequate information about ministers. This information will
be given in response to definite requests about individual men who have been called
to the attention of the church in various ways. When asked to do so the Secretary
will make suggestions of his own. In all available ways the office will follow
through to help a church in due time to arrive at its own choice of its own minister.
1940] Advance Reports 61
According to the figures in the statistical report already given, 60% of the total
settlements completed in our territory of which we had knowledge were carried
through with important help from this Board. It is fairly to be presumed that
in the remaining 40% the State offices had a large part. It seems clear that as
time goes on, instead of turning away from the agencies which the churches have
set up to help them in securing efiFective pastoral service they are more and more
turning to them.
While this paramount emphasis upon the relationship of the Board to the churches
is inherent in the object for which the Board exists, a definite responsibility to the
ministers must also be recognized. For one thing effective pastoral service is
impossible unless there be some attempt to help ministers in making desirable
changes. Again as long as we encourage ministers to have a family life we must
take account of their financial needs and of the care that they ought to have for
those dependent upon them.
When a minister wishes to change it is his privilege to approach the Board and
discuss the matter with its Secretary. If after such discussion (based perhaps
upon the principles suggested in the leaflet "Advice to Advisers") a change still
seems desirable the Secretary will naturally suggest ways and means by which it
may be brought about and willhelp the minister to make contacts with churches. \
At this point there comes in the difficulty of the number of men who approach
the Board in this way. For example, at the present moment the Secretary has the
names of 315 men on his list who at one time or another have indicated a desire
to change. Obviously contacts for all these men cannot be arrainged at the same
time. Moreover, this large number causes a difficulty when any desirable church
becomes vacant. Such a church is asked to consider a confusing number of men and
in tiun our office gets too large a number of requests from the church for informa-
tion about men. (For example, dm^ing the cmrent year in response mainly to
requests we have sent 56 records to one church, 43 to another, 40 to another, 31 to
another and to churches which have not even yet called men we have sent 36, 31,
26, etc.)
It is also to be remembered that if the Board has no right to force its service
upon a church a minister has no right to demand that the Board find him a church.
Freedom must be accorded the Board and its Secretary as to other organizations
and officials in om- Congregational-Christian fellowship. If the Secretary is unjust
or mistaken in a particular instance the minister or the chm-ch has recourse to the
members of the Board from his State and ultimately to the Board itself.
Because of the difficulties which seem inherent in our Congregational freedom
the Board must be as sympathetic in its attitude and as helpful in its action as is
humanly possible. We welcome comments, pro and con, on our attitude and on
our action, as well as on this statement.

REPORT OF THE LAYMEN'S COMMITTEE
In these days of seemingly unending problems which we have been attempting to
solve by every devise known to man, more and more of us are coming to the realiza-
tion that we must look to God for guidance and help. Now as never before, there
is need for Christian leadership and action. Permanent and happy solutions to our
local, national and world-wide problems will not be attained unless we, together
with other Christian laymen, assume this leadership.
With these thoughts uppermost in our minds, your committee has again this
year encouraged the formation of laymen's committees within each Association,
suggesting that they can be of unlimited value to the local church by carrying out
the following program :
1. Arrange several meetings of men during the year; supper meetings during the
winter months, an outing during the summer, perhaps a week-end retreat for the
prayerful consideration of church problems.
2. Help men to become informed about the work of the local church, the Associa-
tion, the State Conference, the General Council and its affiliates. Many men know
little or nothing about the work of these latter organizations.
3. Compile lists of speakers who are available and willing to give their time to
assist the various men's groups in becoming still more effective.
4. Assist in the formation and development of men's clubs, brotherhoods, and
Bible classes in churches where such organizations are not already functioning.
5. Promote the discussion in these local church groups of methods and means for
making the church an increasingly valuable and potent factor in the life of the com-
munity it serves.
In order to promote interest in activities such as those just suggested, your com-
mittee has sponsored several meetings during the year to which the men of our
churches were invited.
Supper Conference at Northampton
The first in this series of meetings was held at Northampton in connection with
the last annual meeting of the Conference. More than 300 laymen and ministers
heard Ronald Bridges of Sanford, Maine and Dean Roderick Scott of Fukien
University at Foochow, China, speak on various phases of Christian work. Also
several members of this committee spoke briefly of plans and programs for men's
work during the coming months.
Second Annual Retreat
Our second annual retreat was held again at the Andover-Newton Theological
School during the week-end following Thanksgiving. This was indeed a retreat.
Once on "The Hill" one felt that all worldly cares had been left behind and there
was now an opportunity for co-operative Christian discussion and worship. The
attendance was not large, due probably to the holiday week-end and consideration
will be given this year to holding this annual event at some more favorable time.
Conferences on Church Financing
At the suggestion of this committee, several of the Association Laymen's Com-
mittees in October sponsored meetings to discuss church financing. These meetings
were well attended and resulted in an enthusiastic discussion of our financial prob-
lems and a helpful interchange of ideas.

Regional Rai.lt
On Sunday afternoon, April 7th, a regional rally of Congregational men was held
in the Old South Chiu-ch in Boston. All men in the five Greater Boston Associa-
tions were invited, and nearly one thousand men were given the opportunity of
listening to Lieut. Gov. Horace T. Cahill, Prof. Herbert Gezork of Wellesley College,
and Ronald Bridges of Sanford, Maine, give their views on the need for Christian
leadership and action. So far as we know this was the largest gathering of Congre-
gational men ever to be held in this State.
In addition to these activities your committee participated in the sixth annual
laymen's conference at the Isle of Shoals last August and in the two joint meetings
of the Conference committees, the first at Concord and the second at Boston.
Wilfred H. Chapin
It was at the meeting in Concord that the committee suffered the sudden loss of
its chairman, the late Wilfred H. Chapin of Fairhaven who had given so unselfishly
of his time to this committee for the past several years. This unexpected loss of his
efficient leadership and wise counsel was a blow from which we have not yet re-
covered, but he has left with us memories that will not be forgotten and a challenge
to go forward with renewed vigor in the days to come.
We are very appreciative and much indebted to Mr.Timberlake for the inspiration
and guidance he has given this committee during the past year, particularly since
the passing of Mr. Chapin. Members of the committee have given freely of their
time to our entire program in order to assist the local church, through its laymen, to
meet the increasingly difficult problems that present-day events are thrusting
upon it.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE RELATION
OF CHURCHES AND COLLEGES
The Committee on the Relation of Churches and Colleges has held six meetings
during the past year. Last May we met with officials of Amherst College and laid
the foundation for closer co-operation between the local church and the college.
The completion of these plans has been postponed due to the resignation of the
First Church minister.
November 15 we held at Wellesley College an all-day conference on "Religion
on the Campus". Over sixty attended, representing the leading colleges and uni-
versities of the state and churches interested in student work. A keen interest
was manifested. As a result a special committee was appointed to make a survey
of the colleges and universities of the state regarding the status of the teaching of
religion in the curriculum, religious life on campus, and the relation between the
college and the church. This committee is composed of the following: Rev. Ralph
M. Timberlake, Boston; Charles Butler, Babson Institute; Rev. George Tuttle,
Florence; Dean Homer Little, Clark University; Miss Eleanor Kitchin, Sargent-
Boston University; Miss Eliza Kendrick, Wellesley College; Rev. Burns Chalmers,
Smith College; Rev. Robert M. Bartlett, Longmeadow.
The survey committee met at Clark University on February 26 and prepared a
questionnaire which has been sent to all Protestant colleges and universities in
Massachusetts. The committee believes that valuable data will be gathered. We
hope to establish a closer relation with these institutions of learning. We hope to be
able to recommend a definite program of action which our churches will be able to
follow.
We welcome all suggestions. We stand ready to serve at all times.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON
ALLOTMENTS
At the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society in May 1939, a special committee of fifteen members was ap-
pointed by the Moderator: "to make a study of the whole question of allotments
and of the establishment of a uniform basis for reporting and publishing member-
ship data, said committee to make recommendations at the next Annual Meeting
of the Conference." This committee has held regular meetings monthly beginning
with the fall of 1939. It has aimed to study the matters assigned to it from every
possible angle.
Your committee feels that we all recognize that in the freedom of our Congre-
gational Churches if we are to have co-ordinating bodies such as the State Confer-
ence and the General Council it is essential that churches and Associations of
churches assist in bearing the expenses of such bodies. Such moneys as are paid
by individual church members, individual churches and Associations, is a matter
purely of good will and recognition of the fellowship of our churches.
Your committee has assumed that it was authorized to consider the necessity
of an Allotment, the methods of raising Allotments if desired, the objects to which
the Allotment is paid, the limitations of its use, and any penalties upon individual
churches for not meeting their Allotment assessments.
We have investigated the methods employed in other denominations and in
other Conferences of our own fellowship to secure the funds necessary to carry on
the work of the Conference and the General Council, and we have reached the con-
clusion that there is no more satisfactory method than that of our own present
method of the so-called allotment, that is, a per capita request by the State Con-
ference from each Church based on its membership.
A brief history of our allotment method presents essential facts. In 1824 a tax
was imposed on each delegate to the General Association of Massachusetts, to
cover expenses. After this year the tax varied from year to year as expenses varied,
and depended upon whether balances in the treasury were large or small. The
allotment account as we have it now has a history going back to 1868. The ex-
penses incurred by the joint "General Association (Ministers) of Massachusetts"
and the "General Conference of Congregational Churches of Massachusetts",
included the miscellaneous expenses of the registrar and the cost of printing the
annual report. The allotment in that year was set at two cents per member and
was ample. In 1878, the Conference was asked to help with the expenses of the
National Council. This was first on the basis of one cent per member, increased
in 1913 to two cents, in 1914 to four cents, in 1920 to seven cents, in 1924 to eight
cents, remaining at that figure until 1935, when it was reduced to seven cents.
This has been the basis since that time for the part of the allotment requested from
our churches and paid through the State Conference to the General Council. It
is to be remembered that one of the seven cents is for the mileage fund to pay part
of the travelling expenses of delegates to the General Council meetings.
In recent years six cents per member has been asked from each church in our
Conference for the expenses of the Conference, thus making the total of thirteen
cents per capita requested of each church for the work of our fellowship through
the State Conference and General Council.
1940] Advance Reports 67
As shown by a statement recently issued by the Conference regarding allotment
income and expense, the $21,000 received in income from our churches were dis-
tributed as follows:
General Council $11,000
Congregational Board of Pastoral Supply 3,700
Massachusetts Council of Churches 1,000
Massachusetts Congregational Conference toward ex-
penses of committees, convocations, assembling
statistics, printing and mailing reports 5,300
$21,000
From the above it will be noted that no allotment income has been used to increase
the oflBce force or overhead expenses of the State Conference. This year, as last
year, an additional cent per member is being asked by the Conference to be passed
on by the Conference to the General Council to cover the expenses of the planned
International Council of Congregational Churches to be held in Wellesley. This
request terminates at the end of these two years.
Of the $56,350.97 received by the General Council in the year 1939 from the
Conferences of our fellowship, $11,423.63 were paid by our Massachusetts Con-
ference. These figures include the additional one cent per member to cover the
expenses of the planned International Council of Congregational Churches to be
held in Wellesley. It is important to note from these figures that Massachusetts
paid 20.3% of the total amount received by the General Council. On the other
hand, the membership of our churches in Massachusetts (174,451) is approximately
16.6% of the total membership of all of the churches in our national fellowship.
In the history of the allotment account it has been noted that the Per Capita
request from each of our Massachusetts churches was based on the resident mem-
ship in two periods 1868-1877 and 1884-1887. In all other years, the allotment
requested has been based on the total membership of each church. During our
Conference fiscal year 1939-40, 405 churches of the 614 churches paid the allot-
ment in full, as based on their total membership. These churches represent 114,128
members. Also, many churches have paid 1938-1939 allotment during this year,
and undoubtedly payments for 1939-40 will be received at the time when the treas-
urers of their Associations make their customary payments. In addition 52
churches have paid their 1939-40 allotment in part and their payments represent
65% of their allotment. Altogether 85% of one year's allotment was collected.
Your committee feels there is the necessity for some form of allotment funds to
meet the expenses of our State Conference and General Council. We recommend:
1. A campaign of education among our churches for the dissemination of infor-
mation regarding the allotment, its history and purposes. To this end we commend
the statement issued by the Trustees of the Conference to help the churches under-
stand the allotment account in our finances. We urge further information be given
through our Associations of churches and ministers, and through layment's com-
mittees. We also recommend the continuation of this committee or a similar
committee to carry out this campaign of education.
2. We recommend the simplification of the allotment account as carried by the
State Treasurer, Items can be consolidated under the general heading of expenses,
such as printing, and overhead.
3. We recommend that through the State Conference and General Council an
68 Advance Reports [1940
eflFort be made with the other conferences of our national fellowship to secure a
more equitable collection of the allotment per capita.
4. We recommend that for the present the allotment be in Massachusetts on
the basis of six cents for our own Conference expenses, seven cents for the General
Council and one cent additional for the International Council. We also recommend
that only such moneys be passed on to the General Council by the treasurer of our
State Conference as he shall receive, allocated for that pm-pose.*
* We call the attention of the Conference to the fact that in recent
years our State treasurer has not received allotment moneys in full
from all of our churches, and so could not pass on to the General
Council the full amount requested by such. The deficiencies have
been met each year by funds held by the General Council to the credit
of our State Conference. These funds have now been exhausted.
Unless Massachusetts chm-ches pay their allotments in full, there
will have to be cuts made in the mileage fund allowance made by the
General Council for expenses of our delegates to the Council.
5. We recommend that the basis for allotment payments in our Conference be
the total membership of each church, such as each church reports to the General
Council to be published in the reports of the Council and State Conference.
6. We recommend that the Conference abolish the column for absentee members
in our Conference Report and that our churches in Massachusetts be requested
not to report absentee members.
7. We further recommend that our churches cease to employ the term "absentee
members" and use the term "retired members" for such members as may be deemed
by the local church to be inactive, the number of such retired members not to be
included in the report of total membership in our statistics.
8. We recommend that in the statistics printed by our State Conference in place
of the present column for absentee members, there be recorded the percentage of
per capita tax or allotment paid by each church, this step to be taken to encourage
100 per cent report by our churches.
For the Committee,
Clarence Dunham, Chairman
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each chiu^ch member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Thirteen cents per member is asked this year of
the Churches. Seven cents of the thirteen goes to the General Council (formerly
The National Council) and six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of
the six cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organization
to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general piu-poses; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.
69
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements with
the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part of their
property to be appHed to our work after their death, and desire an assured income
from this property for themselves, or for others whom they may designate as
beneficiaries, so long as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning
such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for the benefit of
churches. Many churches have put their trust funds in the care of the Conference.
It is now administering trust funds for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of
over $575,000. If any extra expense is incurred that is charged against the principal
or income of the fund involved. Funds which have been committed to our care
have earned about 4% this last year.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up for the most
part of persons who have had little experience in administering funds, to guard the
safety of church trust funds. The Conference has exceptional facilities for keeping
funds safely and investing them profitably and wisely. The Board of Trustees of
the Conference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large ability and
experience in such matters. The churches may avail themselves of the service of
this ability and experience without expense.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CON-
GREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of
the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Missionary Committee of the local Association of
Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the President or Secre-
tary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1S87, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are sell-
evident. "W. C," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically ; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 1938. Admissions
and removals cover the year 1937. "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females"
and "total," but included in them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of ofi&cers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1938, or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained' ' denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i"; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r,"\ pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by council, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field; "§", for address see alphabetical list in back of book.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but means "no report";
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" home department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk* indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year offers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.

BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the chiurches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Each evangelical Congregational church in this Common-
wealth or Christian church that is a member of a Congregational-Christian Asso-
ciation of churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom
it is suggested one shall be a layman and the other a lay woman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officio)
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee members
of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life mem-
bers of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting
membership of the Conference; it is provided, however, that pastors of chiu^ches to
qualify for the voting privilege shall be Congregational or Christian ministers
having membership in Congregational or Congregational-Christian Associations
regularly holding ministerial standing.
122
1940] By-Laws 123

Trustees are to be chosen in the successive years and determine whether the
Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a
candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such candidate should be

Massachusetts
The 142nd Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congrega-
tional Conference and Missionary Society was called to order

George F. Moulton of Milton. He presented Prof. H. Augustine
Smith of Boston University as the Director of the congrega-
tional singing and Rev. Albert J. Penner of the Second Con-
gregational Church, Holyoke, as the Chaplain for the meeting.
After ten minutes of singing, led by Prof. Smith, the Chaplain
conducted the Service of Worship.
The Moderator then appointed the following committees:
Business Committee — Rev. Baldwin W. Callahan, Gardner, Chairman; Mr.
Gregory Allyn, Framingham; Mrs. Franklin G. Field, Brighton; Mr. William F.
Farley, Waltham; Rev. Egbert W. A. Jenkinson, Methuen; Rev. Eric I. Lindh,

Rev. J. Lee Mitchell, the pastor of the entertaining church,
presented Mayor John Maclntyre of Attleboro, who gave an
address of welcome to the Conference.
The Moderator formally presented Dr. Mitchell, calling atten-
tion to the fact that this year, 1941, marked the fortieth anniver-
sary of his pastorate in the Second Church. Dr. Mitchell wel-
comed the Conference on behalf of the church and gave a brief
sketch of its historical background and its important place in the
life of Attleboro.
The Advance Reports of the Conference Committees were
then presented and received. After discussion and some changes,
as noted below, they were ordered printed in the minutes.
14 Minutes [1941
Rev. George E. Gary of Bradford moved that:
Any changes in the percentages used in dividing undesignated benevolence gifts
received by the Treasurer be voted upon by the Conference at this Annual Meeting,
and that until such changes are made, it be the desire of the Conference that the
percentages shall be those authorized by it through action taken at the Dedham
meeting in 1938, namely: — ■
State Conference 13
Seaman's Friend 1
Board of Home Missions 41%
American Board 4034
Council for Social Action 4
This was referred to the Business Gommittee.
Rev. Francis L. Gooper of Gampello recommended that the
Gommittee on PoHty and Standards for the Ministry be made
a permanent committee of the Gonference. This recommenda-
tion was referred to the Business Gommittee, and the Moderator
specified Saturday morning at the business session as the time
for further discussion of the matter.
Rev. Glarence W. Dunham, Ghairman of the Special Gommittee
of the Gonference on the Allotment, reported for that committee,
as follows:
ALLOTMENT GOMMITTEE
The special committee of the Conference on the Allotment appointed in 1939 and
continued by vote of the Conference in 1940 submits its final report. We call the
attention of the Conference to the general success of the per capita payments by
the Churches during the past fiscal year. Of the 612 churches in our Conference,
89% have paid in whole or in part. Sixty -three churches have paid nothing, but of
these 63, 3 churches are inactive. Of the remaining 60, 22 churches have a member-
ship 1 — 100; 31 churches 100 — 500; 7 churches have a membership 500 and over.
We call particular attention to these Associations that have contributed all
per capita payments in full for the year ending March 31, 1941 :
Berkshire South
Essex North
Suffolk North
This 100% record is due largely to the efforts of the treasurers and scribes of these
Associations.
Allowance must be made for the fact that some churches pay after the Annual
Meeting of the Conference.
Changes are being made in the printing of statistics for the year. The General
Council is placing a "star" in the lists of churches to indicate that the starred
churches have paid their per capita allotments in full. We also call the attention
of our churches to the omission of the "Absentee Column" in the coming issue of the
state Minutes and Reports. This is in accord with the vote taken by the Conference
last year upon recommendation of your committee. While the national Year Book
will continue to use such a column, we trust that soon it also may be eliminated.
We continue to urge our churches to use the term, "Retired Members", for such
members as may be deemed by the local Church to be inactive. The number of such
retired members not to be included in the reporting of total membership.
1941] Minutes 15
1. We recommend the following amendment to the by-laws of the Conference,
to come as Section 4 of Article IX:
"4. At each annual meeting the Conference shall propose to the churches
the annual contribution for the expenses of the General Council and
for such expenses of the Conference and other purposes as may be desig-
nated and shall allot the same among the churches on such basis as may
be deemed equitable. The Trustees shall at each annual meeting present
a recommendation as to the action to be taken at such meeting with
reference to the allotment to be made at that meeting, unless the
Conference shall have directed at a previous meeting that such recom-
mendation be made by a designated committee."
2. We recommend that the Conference vote that the Conference make public
at its next annual meeting the names of the churches that have paid nothing on the
per capita Allotment during the fiscal year, and that due notice to this effect be
given to the churches when Allotment statements are issued.
3. At the last session of the General Council at Berkeley the following vote was
taken: "That the State Conferences be requested to contribute annually to the
General Council for the next biennium, eight cents per capita on the total member-
ship to be distributed as follows: six cents per member for the expenses of the
General Council, one cent per member for the mileage fund, and one cent per mem-
ber for the World Council of Churches, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ
in America, and the International Congregational Council, the International
Congregational Council being a first charge." This calls for an additional one cent
per member. Believing it was the democratic method for the Churches themselves
to be informed of this proposal, your Committee circularized our churches and
asked for a vote by the churches or financial committees if the church favored or
was against this proposal. Twenty-six replies have been received. Three asked for
further information; 17 favored the proposal; 6 were opposed. Possibly this is a
fair ratio for the entire state, 3 to 1 .
Your committee has no specific recommendation in this particular matter. We
believe in leaving the decision in such to the vote of the Conference. We do recom-
mend that such a vote be taken.
We are assuming that this committee expires at this session of the Conference,
but we do urge continuing enlightenment of our churches by the Trustees regarding
the Allotment payments and purposes for which such payments are used.
Eespectfully submitted,
Clarence W. Dunham, Chairman.
Mr. Myron S. Burton, Treasurer of the Conference, presented
his annual report and it was
VOTED: That the report of the Treasurer of the Conference as submitted be
accepted with appreciation.
By request of the Moderator, the Secretary of the Conference,

fessor of Historical Theology in the Divinity School in Yale
16 Minutes [1941

theme, "The Impact of God on Human Life," namely, on "God
as the Holy Spirit."
At the close of the afternoon session, a public hearing was held
on the question of continuing the Board of Pastoral Supply after
Dr. Merrill's retirement, and the vote taken showed that the
meeting was nearly evenly divided on the question.
At 6:00 o'clock the Fellowship Supper was held in the supper
room of the Second Church.

The evening session opened with a Service of Worship con-
ducted by the Chaplain, followed by music, under the direction

the home expenses, printed in full on pp. 25-26.

entire membership shall be elected at each Annual Meeting for a term of
five years. It shall be the duty of this committee to endeavor to establish

tor announced that such action would be taken at the afternoon

resolution :
RESOLVED: By the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society at its Annual Meeting at Attleboro, May 16-18:
1. That we express our approval of the attempt which is being made by the
Committee on Food for the Small Democracies under the chairmanship of
former President Herbert Hoover to prevent starvation in Europe.
2. That we ask our churches and ministers to give moral support to the work
of this committee in every way possible. (Financial support is not needed.)
3. That we ask the Massachusetts Senators and Representatives in Congress
to forward this work in every way possible, especially through the removal
of the blockade restrictions that prevent the sending of food to the peoples
who need it.
4. That the Secretary of the Conference be asked to give publicity to this
resolution, especially by transmission to our Senators and Representatives.
This resolution was referred to the Business Committee for its
consideration and report. The Business Committee reported
that this resolution, having been brought to the attention of the
Conference and being of such a nature as to preclude any unani-
mous action by the Conference, it was their recommendation
that the matter be left to the individual conscience.
The following resolution concerning labor disputes was laid
on the table:
In view of the fact that the American Way of Life is endangered, not only by the
present war between foreign nations, but also by the increasing spirit of greed and
strife within our own borders which is manifesting itself in controversies between
organized labor and corporations which have received government contracts, and
Whereas the present time offers a superb opportunity for the exercise of reason,
of a spirit of co-operation and of genuine patriotism when disputes arise, now there-
fore be it
RESOLVED: By the representatives of the Congregational Churches in Massa-
chusetts, in conference assembled.
That we call upon all citizens engaged in controversy concerning labor policies
on the one hand and profits on the other to sink their differences, to manifest a high
degree of patriotism and to use every means at their command to reach amicable
and just settlement of all controversies without resort to strikes or lockouts, and we
20 Minutes [1941
most heartily approve and commend the adoption of a "cooling off period" in con-
nection with the adjustment of labor disputes and difficulties. And be it further
RESOLVED: That the weight of public opinion be directed against those who
refuse to exercise a spirit of conciliation and of co-operation in this period of national
peril.
It was
VOTED: That the fraternal greetings of the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference be sent to the New Hampshire State Conference, now in session; and
a telegram conveying such a greeting was sent by Secretary Bliss to Secretary Arm-
strong at Concord, N. H., where the meeting was being held.
It was moved and seconded that the Conference ask the Trustees to reconsider
the matter of apportionment percentage. After full discussion, which included an
explanation by the Treasurer, the motion was lost.
The following resolutions were adopted :
RESOLVED: That we, the members of this Conference, hereby express our
sincere appreciation of the service rendered by Rev. Porter Bower as Secretary of
Religious Education and of his work with the Young People of our churches:
a service which is the more noteworthy because of the small amount of time which
he has been permitted to devote thereto. We regret that Mr. Bower is soon to
leave us, but M^e wish him all success and happiness in the work to which he has
been called.
RESOLVED: That the members of this Conference, being convinced of the
urgent need for full-time secretarial leadership in the important work of religious
education, do heartily approve the recommendation of the Committee on Religious
Education to this effect and do earnestly request the Board of Trustees to give this
matter careful consideration and to make provision for such full-time leadership
if it is possible to do so.
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mission-
ary Society, assembled in the Second Church, Attleboro, for its 142nd Annual
Meeting, hereby wishes to express its heartiest appreciation of the hospitality of
the Pastor and people of the Attleboro chm-ch for the care evident in the planning
of the arrangements, the bountiful meals, the fine music, to the Mayor for his
greeting, to the people who so graciously opened their homes for our comfort and
convenience.
We would also express our gratitude to the speakers and leaders on the programs,
the chaplain, the moderator, the lecturer and all who contributed in any way to
its success.
The Business Committee acknowledged the receipt of the
resolution from the Andover Association which expressed its
strong disapproval of the time chosen for the Annual Meeting,
so as to include a Sunday, and recommended that the Program
Committee for next year take notice.
RESOLVED: That this Conference go on record as favoring the passage of the
enabling legislation relating to week-day religious education now pending before
the General Court of Massachusetts, to wit: "Absences may also be permitted for
1941] • Minutes 21

cities) may establish" —
(Revision of Senate Bill 373 and House Bills 394 and 395)
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the churches be urged to study the
advantages of a co-operative community approach to the opportunity which passage
of this legislation may present, and that they give earnest early attention to matters
of possible leadership and subject matter."
RESOLVED: (1) that notice of all important matters of business to be acted
upon at the Annual Meeting of the Conference be included
with the Advance Reports and sent to the churches at least
one month in advance of the meeting, with the request that

VO TED: That the Conference make public at its next Annual Meeting the names
of the churches that have paid nothing on the per capita Allotment during the fiscal
year, and that due notice to this effect be given to the churches when Allotment,

On account of the pressure of business, the two addresses by-
Professor Calhoun and Professor Hans Kohn came later than the
time scheduled on the program. Professor Calhoun graciously gave
precedence on the program to Prof. Hans Kohn of Smith College,
who spoke on "War Aims and Peace Aims."
After singing by the congregation. Professor Calhoun gave his

penses of the General Council, one cent per member for the mileage fund, and one
cent per member for the World Council of Churches, the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, and the International Congregational Council,

THE STATUS OF THE DEBT OF HONOR
IN MASSACHUSETTS, MAY, 1941
Speech delivered at the State Conference, Attleboro, Mass.
May 17, 19il
By John A. Hawley
From 1914 to the end of 1921 all our Congregational ministers were urged to join
an Annuity Plan, with the expectation that they would get $500 per year after
they were sixty-five, if they had served thirty years or more in the Congregational
ministry. Their widows were to receive $300. This $500 was to come from three
sources. $100 was to come from their own payments. $200 was to come from the
income from the Pilgrim Memorial Fund. And the last $200 was to come from
the benevolences of our churches.
Those benevolences were then running about three million dollars per year; and
it was expected that they would go up to five millions. If they had staid at three
millions, or had gone to five millions, you would never have heard of the Debt of
Honor. But, instead of going up, they have gone down to less than half of what
they were; and consequently have put the last $200 of these annuities in jeopardy.
There are now about 1,250 of these annuitants, of whom one thousand are eligible
for their annuities.
The present status of the Debt of Honor in Massachusetts is due to several things
which were entirely beyond our control, such as: The Eecession of 1937; the
Hurricane of 1938; and the World War since 1939.
Besides these causes, there were many ministers and churches which saw the
Debt of Honor too small. Very little was said about quotas, in the early months;
but it was generally understood that we needed a million and a half dollars; or, an
average of a dollar and a half per member for our entire denomination. One church
of over 350 resident members sent in $15 and asked that the incident be closed.
That would be about four and a quarter cents per member. I do not know what
church they expected would be glad to make up the remaining one hundred and
forty-five cents.
I have a list of thirty-six churches with an average membership of over 45X),
which have given altogether less than $3,000 to the Debt of Honor; or, an average
of about seventeen and a half cents per member.
Besides all these churches which saw the Cause too small; there were many
churches which refused to see it at all.
Over two hundred churches, out of six hundred and fourteen in Massachusetts, or
just about one-third of all the churches, have given nothing to the Debt of Honor.
While many of these are the smaller churches, the list also includes many large
churches. There are thirty-two churches in the State with an average membership
of three hundred and eighty, which gave nearly $20,000 to the apportionment in a
single year, which have not given a cent to the Debt of Honor. Some of these
churches have had good and sufficient reasons; but others have resorted to all sorts
of excuses and alibis; until we are about ready to agree with the candidate for
ordination who thought that procrastination was one of the doctrines of the Congre-
gational denomination. If these old ministers come to destitution and starvation,
a large part of the responsibility will rest upon these churches which either saw the
matter too small, or refused to see it at all.
What, then, is our present status.'' In the entire country there has been raised
about $630,000 of which Massachusetts has given about $140,000. The Debt of
Honor Commission has decided that in general, twelve per cent of a normal year's
26 Minutes [1941
Home Expenses is a fair total goal for the average church. Twelve per cent of the
Home Expenses of all our churches in the State would be about $333,000. Our
churches have given $140,000, leaving about $193,000 more which is needed.
In other words, the task in Massachusetts is about two-fifths done.
Are there any Associations which have reached this twelve per cent quota .^
Just one. A few others are approaching the goal. While others are lagging far
behind; having raised only one-eighth or one-twelfth of what they should.
How many churches in the State have reached a twelve per cent quota .^ Only
twenty-eight. There are twelve others which have neared that goal. If we are
generous enough to include them, then there would be only forty out of six hundred
churches.
As we look at the picture: One-third of the churches having done nothing; only
seven per cent coming up to their goal; and the entire task in the State only two-
fifths done: I submit to you that an appropriate costume for me today would have
been one of sackcloth and ashes; typical of the humiliation we ought to feel over
the shame and disgrace that our beloved State has not done better.
How can we do it?
Our hope is in those who are willing to see the task in its full size and urgency.
There may be even a grain of hope in the churches which have done little or
nothing. They certainly have not exhausted themselves by giving to this. They
must have resources, if we can reach them.
There is real hope in what many individuals have done. A well-to-do man
promised one hundred dollars, before church. After the story had been told in the
morning service, he doubled his pledge, and his wife and five children all put in
pledges. A woman whose pastor thought that she might give fifty dollars, gladly
gave $500. A man in eastern Massachusetts told his minister he would give $100.
After church, he said that he had raised his pledge two and a half times, and that
he would try to get his friend, Mr. B., to match him, at $250.
There is real hope and heartening in what many churches have done. The French
Church in Pittsfield has given $110. A German Church in Fitchburg with only 57
members has given $150. One of our Negro churches has sent in forty-nine pledges
to the Debt of Honor. Go north from Springfield, and two churches in Northamp-
ton have given over $3,200. One in Greenfield over $1,400. One in Amherst over
$2,500. Go south from Springfield and four churches in Hartford have given over
$11,000, and four churches in New Haven have given over $19,000.
There is real encom-agemeut in what the Associations can do. One Association
with no very large churches, and with no very rich churches, has pledged over
$10,000, coming within about $1,600 of its twelve per cent quota. We must work
through the Associations: stirring the Executive Committees to resolute action;
so that the churches will be willing and eager to do their part.
Again, there is tremendous appeal in the character of these aged annuitants.
One of them, a man beloved across the whole county where he lived, died suddenly
and left a widow who has been a cripple for twenty years. Would you like to go
and tell her that the Congregational churches cannot make up the last two-fifths of
her annuity.'' Some of these faithful old ministers are in desperate need of the full
annuities, which they had every reason to believe would be available for them as
they faced the uncertainties of old age.
Finally, there is confidence in the character of our denomination. Congrega-
tionalism represents democracy at its best. Our churches are made up of the
substantial, intelligent, forward-looking, middle-class of society who have a sense of
justice, and some conscience about the fulfillment of their obligations to these aged
ministers and to God.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Mr. Moderator, delegates, and friends: We have in this Annual Meeting for the
first time, beside the regular delegates, "Honorary Annual Members". At the time
of our appeal for special support for the work of the Conference last fall the Trustees
voted that every individual who contributed ten dollars or more should become an
Honorary Annual Member of the Conference. Thirty-eight persons qualified for
this Honorary membership: among them five ministers, two of them retired, one of
them the pastor of an aided church; seventeen women and sixteen men, distributed
through eleven of the Associations. I am happy to announce that members of our
churches and friends of the Conference subscribed over $2,500. While speaking of
the gifts of the churches, let me say that in eleven of the Associations the contribu-
tions toward our general benevolent program last year were in excess of the gifts
of the year before. The Trustees also wish to have for the permanent record of the
Conference "A Book of Memory" in which shall be recorded from the very beginning
of the incorporation of the Massachusetts Home Misssionary Society all those who
have made bequests in their wills to the Missionary Society, and since 1928 to the
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society. That Book will
have a place of honor in our office, and also at the Annual Meetings. In this way
fitting recognition will be made of the generous support which the members of our
churches are giving to the work of our fellowship.
It would not be out of order for me to review some of the items that enter into the
service of the Conference to the churches and to the ministers.
There is, first of all, the investment of the trust funds of the churches. Over one
hundred churches now commit to the care of the Trustees something over $600,COO
— the funds of the individual churches. The Conference is now the representative
in Massachusetts for the Church Building Society, and appropriations are made
upon the investigation and recommendation of the State officers regarding the needs
and obligations of the churches. We make grants to the weaker churches of the
Commonwealth. I sometimes wonder why one church is called a "mission church"
simply because it gets a grant from the State Conference in order to continue the
preaching of the Gospel. I like to look upon all our churches — the strong churches,
and the small churches — as outposts of the Kingdom. However, we must continue
to make grants to those churches that need supplemental help.
We play an important part in the placement of pastors. I might have said this
afternoon that of the eighty-one settlements made in Massachusetts this last year,
fifty-one per cent came also under the care of the State Office, some of them entirely
so. This is a service we are glad to render, and will continue to give as occasion
arises.
Then there is the program of the Woman's Department, the salary of the Secre-
tary and expenses of that Department, which serves so many of the churches
through the organized work of the women; the Laymen's State Committee, and
the activities it carries on; and the work for youth, through the Department of
Education, the Pilgrim Fellowship, and the high-school conferences — four of them
this year; all coming under the care and guidance of members of the Staff of the
Conference.
In the matter of speakers, over a thousand appointments are made each year
for the churches by the Speakers' Bureau, through the Conference Office. We are
continuing what was begun several years ago in the program of Preaching Missions,
believing that a neighboring minister, in a series of special services can be a great
27
28 Report of the President [1941
help in furthering the spiritual life of any church. This fall we are to have
Dr. Clinton, the Preaching Missioner of the Board of Home Missions, in Massachu-
setts and we are glad to offer his services to several of our churches.
To the ministers, as a Conference we aid every young man who wishes to join the
Annuity Fund, paying up to as high as seventy-five per cent of the first year's
premium. We give to our ministers the benefit of the united registration in the
Blue Cross, and are saving their families the added expense which has accompanied
the increase in service.
We plan for our pastors as a help for their spiritual life the annual Convocations
— the Retreats. Our interest in the pastor is not limited to supplementing his
salary, nor helping him in time of emergency or need. We believe that if as pastors
we may confer and consult with one another, if we may pray and worship together,
it will result in the development of our own inner resources. This next September — •
September 15 and 16 — • we are holding the Convocation for 1941 at Andover New-
ton Theological School. Dr. Stafford of Boston, Dr. Maurer of New Haven and
Dr. Micklem of Oxford will be the three leaders of our thought.
For both churches and ministers we publish the "PILGRIM STATE NEWS",
which is becoming year by year much more effective and interesting, under the able
editorship of Rev. Raymond Blakney and Rev. Wilfrid H. Bunker.
For the Associations this past year, we held a conference for Moderators and
Scribes, with twenty out of the twentj^-one Associations represented. Out of that
Conference, with its exchange of opinion and experience, I believe that already there
is being felt an upward turn in the esprit de corps of the Associations of the State.
The Conference is interested in helping all leaders in the Associations, and will this
summer pay ten dollars toward the expense of any of the Association officers or
committee members who wish to attend the United Christian Adult Movement
Conference at Northfield.
I would like to speak of the progress that has been made in the relating of the
larger to the smaller churches. We have developed this last year in the city of
Woburn a partnership between the First Church and the Montvale Church.
Dr. Robert Grey has become the pastor of both churches, and Vaughan Aber-
crombie, student assistant, has become the leader of the Sunday School and young
people's work of both churches. These two men were in my office just this week
to tell me of the advantages they saw for both churches, in this new relationship.
Something similar has been accomplished for the Central Church in Chelsea and
the Baker-Maverick Church in East Boston. Last year I mentioned the relation-
ship between the Payson Park Church, Belmont, and the PhiUipston Church.
Now the Plymouth Church in Belmont has taken under its wing the Lincoln Church
in Brockton — the Colored Church. Returning from an appointment on a Sunday
evening recently, I went to a meeting in the Town Hall of Belmont, and arrived in
time to hear the Colored pastor of the Lincoln Church concluding his sermon.
He was preaching to a hall filled with the members of the Plymouth Church.
The Colored choir of the Brockton church was with their pastor. There was being
established an intimate and friendly relationship, not simply between a strong
church and a weaker sister, but between one of our white churches and a Colored
church.
Something still more indicative of a fine co-operative spirit is the relationship that
has developed in Framingham, between Grace Church, Plymouth Church, and the
Edwards Church. Small in membership at the present time, the old church stand-
ing on the hill in Saxonville has become quite a burden to the loyal band of resident
members. By formal vote the members of both Grace and Plymouth Churches have
designated a part of their apportionment giving, through the Conference, for the
1941] Report of the President 29
support of the pastor in the Saxonville Church. Hope Church in Springfield has
undertaken to do a similar thing for the church in Oakham and for the Chapel at
Sixteen Acres.
We adopted two years ago the "Program of Progress" for our churches. We have
in the Conference several committees and departments of work. The "Program of
Progress" has an unlimited number of items in it — things that might be attempted
in the church. The several committees were taking this many-sided program and
each was approaching the churches with the ideas for furthering its particular plans
and suggestions. We have discovered that there was consequently a good deal of
overlapping. So the committee chairmen have been meeting together, and have
developed a Co-ordinating Council, whereby the several committees will unite their
suggestions along the lines of the "Program of Progress" under three age-group
Divisions — the Adult, the Young People, and the Children. These three Divi-
sions will then pass on to the churches a correlated program for interests of these
age groups. We hope soon to have a united, progressive program working through
this new Co-ordinating Council.
During the year we have consummated the affiliation between the Congrega-
tional Church Union and the Conference. The Congregational Church Union was
a society of ministers and laymen whose particular objective was to assist in the
building of new churches. They did a splendid piece of work. The C. C. U. (as it is
commonly called) and the Trustees of the Conference have been practically united
in one organization. The Congregational Church Union will continue simply
because there are some reversionary clauses in some of its property titles. However,
the main thing is that to the Conference has been transferred not only some of the
property of the C. C. U., but the great work of financial assistance to churches
which the C. C. U. has done within the Boston area. We, as a Conference, ought to
take up this missionary task and carry it on over all the State. I have listed here
seven building projects where as a Conference we ought to assist the church in
building an adequate sanctuary or a parish house for its educational program.
In Pinehurst, Billerica, they started a church basement and roofed it over, in the
hope some time of finishing it. In the meantime a State highway has cut across
the property, so that they can't build in that spot. They have bought land to the
rear and side. This is the only Protestant church in the community. The Church
Building Society of New York has said to them, "We will give you $5,000 if the
Conference of Massachusetts will give you $5,000." W^e ought to do it. It is
a challenge and an opportunity. It means $10,000 for the Pinehurst Church, and
it would be a real missionary effort. Other opportunities are the Riverdale Church,
Dedham; Park Avenue Church, Arlington; the Westminster Church, which was
burned, with only $7,000 insurance.
The Plymouth Church, Belmont, is about forty years old, and was aided for
thirty-five years — up to five years ago. Since this church was organized there
has grown up the Payson Park Church, a mile away, where they have congregations
of five hundred. On the other side of Belmont there has developed the Winn Brook
and the Belmont Hill sections, — both good residential districts, three-quarters
of a mile from the Plymouth Church. Two months ago one of the denominations
of Boston asked if it might build in that new area. The Council met, called in the
pastors of Belmont and other representatives. It was decided that this was the
opportunity for Plymouth Church, and the Plymouth people caught a vision of
what they might do: move their church into this new area, and serve this larger
community, where there is a public school with seven hundred children in the sixth
grade and under, more than half of them Protestants. They had made up their
mind this was to be their task in years to come. Then a week after the annual
30 Report of the President [1941
meeting, on Saturday morning, the church was burned to the ground. Now they
must move and build again. They have bought a new lot in the new area. They
want to build a sanctuary and parish house that will meet the needs of these homes
and families, a church just as fine as any in suburban Boston. This is a tremendous
task for the present membership — the challenge is greater than they should face
alone. Here is an opportunity for the denomination to step in — a Congregational
opportunity. We have been given the first chance. Can we take it? The Confer-
ence ought to have a Building Fund, and it ought to carry on and continue the work
of the C. C. U. of Boston, so that we can supplement and aid a church program such
as is desired by the Plymouth Church in Belmont.
I hope you read the report of the Churches and Colleges Committee today.
There are in New England 20,000 Congregational students; in Greater Boston,
between 5,000 and 6,000. Rev. Fred Bennett of Union Church tells me that in his
parish there are fifty schools, such as hair-dressers', art schools, music schools,
where boys and girls from the homes of Massachusetts come. In Harvard there are
1,000 Congregational boys, in Radcliffe 800 Congregational girls, in Wellesley a
great many. There is one denomination in Cambridge that has a man giving his
full time as college pastor to relate the boys and girls of his denomination to the
churches of that denomination in Cambridge. In Boston one of the denominations
not strong in New England has a pastor giving all his time to the students of that
denomination in Greater Boston. With the exception of "Mass. State", we are
relying on the local pastors. These busy pastors of our churches in college towns
are doing what they can, are giving what time they can in attempting to meet the
opportunities. The Committee on Churches and Colleges brings in a recommenda-
tion to you: that we attempt an experiment whereby we seek to do as a denomina-
tion something definite, something progressive and concrete for the Congregational
students in our colleges. And the need is not just simply to touch the Congrega-
tional boys and girls; but in these areas to bring religion into the life and thinking
of these boys and girls who will be the leaders in our communities.
Congregationahsm is not providing the leadership for its own churches and
societies. Of the American Board missionaries, only 45% are trained in our Congre-
gational schools. Only 22% of the ministers who became pastors of Congregational
churches in 1937, 1938 and 1939 were trained in Congregational seminaries. We in
Massachusetts have as fine an opportunity as any section of the land, and we have
been simply neglecting it. Here are the students, the churches, the leadership
requirements. One of the finest pieces of missionary work is this work of the church
for the students in the college communities of the State.
In regard to the Military Camps, let me recount what we are attempting to do
with the other denominations, through the Massachuetts Council of Churches.
The problem arose on the Cape, when Camp Edwards was opened. Dr. Pond of
Falmouth was the leader, and set the pace for the other Camp areas. The Council
decided to have a united Camp Service Committee, representing the several
denominations. Mr. Ollendorff, Mr. Long, Mr. Penney, Mr. Tamblyn, and
Mr. LeMay are our representatives. We began with one director, whose job was
to make a study of the whole field. He served until the first of May. It has now
been decided to have in the four Camp areas — Edwards, Devens, Westover, and
Boston — Camp Pastors who will represent all the denominations. You have
received the appeal that has come from our committee, suggesting that on May 25th
a special offering be taken to raise our share toward this united work with the boys
from our homes who are in these Military Camps. We want also to have funds
whereby we can assist the churches in these areas to provide programs that will make
a churchly approach to the boys of the Camps. The Camp Pastor is not going to
19411 Report of the President 31
be a Y. M. C. A. director, to put on entertainments, or open a canteen; but he ought
to enable the church to be a real church in its service to the boys away from home.
Let the church be more of a church in these particular areas.
All the pastors have received the announcement of our Conference Plan for
next fall, inviting them to enter into a program for the strengthening and encour-
aging of the churches: a simple, united evangelistic effort. The basis of it is the
Christian stewardship of life. The modern Prodigal Son lives near some Protestant
church today. He is lost from the Christian fellowship. This is a program which
seeks to save these men and women and youth who are "lost". It is to be conducted
by the people of the church, under the leadership of the pastor; first, to renew the
loyalty of the members, and to bring them back into the life and worship of the
church; second, a program of lay evangelistic visiting, whereby trained leaders of
the church will visit, two by two, homes where there are suitable prospects for
church membership. A great deal has been done in this way in Worcester and
Adams, and is being planned in Everett, Springfield, and Woburn. We are hoping
that every church that does not have a better plan will make some effort in line
with this, so that during next year we can increase church attendance by 10%,
church membership and church giving by a like amount.
I believe that, if together we can encourage the "out- reach" of the churches,
we shall see them arise in a splendid way for the help of all people in this troublous
time. This is a day of opportunity for the church of Freedom, of Faith, of Fellow-
ship — ■ when our church with its heritage, its polity, democracy and faith can serve
the nation. Who knows whether we have not "come to the Kingdom for such a
time as this.''" If ever there were a year when we should enter upon a program of
Loyalty and Evangelism, this is the year. Such is the program your Trustees pro-
pose. We invite you to co-operate one with the other, that we may go forward in the
Name of the Lord.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
I heard Prof. Rufus Jones, eminent and beloved Friend, tell recently of a call
lie had the honor to make, upon Baron Friedrich von Hiigel, the great Roman
Catholic mystic. After an interesting visit, Mr. Jones asked von Hiigel on what
grounds the Roman Church would canonize a person and make him a saint. This
was von Hiigel's reply: "First he must have been absolutely loyal to the Church.
Secondly, he must have done an impossible thing, that is, a miracle. Thirdly, he
must have had a radiant face." I am glad to pay sincere tribute to some ministers
and laymen this past year, whom I have met, who could easily, by this test, make
the grade to sainthood in the Congregational and Christian Churches in this
Commonwealth.
Many of our churches have been in a depression, either financial or spiritual or
both; some beset by a sense of frustration, many people bewildered by a clouded
vision of God in the present world disorder, and nearly all embarrassed by the
prevailing sensate culture in which we are living. And yet, against these heavy
odds, both minister and people are bearing witness to Christ, in word and in life,
with the intelligence of a philosopher and the devotion of a saint. I might mention
many, but there is a church that suffered the largest percentage of loss in the state.
Last year it had a total of two members, and admitted none during the year, but
lost a total of two members, or one hundred per cent. But it paid its entire allot-
ment account. It is a Congregational church and its minister is a Baptist.
Here are three churches in a small community in another part of the state which
have written in asking for one of us to meet with them some evening soon to confer
about the three churches uniting into one church, preferably a Congregational church.
President Timberlake has asked me to go to them next Monday evening. I do not
believe in stealing a church or a minister from another denomination. I believe
too much in interdenominationalism. But these various groups have decided among
themselves that they prefer our fellowship because such a church is governed
entirely by the Congregation with no outside authority, but with all the outside
help possible. I shall work with them to this end, because the world-wide fellowship
in Christ is far more valuable than membership in any one particular denomination.
The three churches involved are a Methodist, a Baptist and a church named the
Pedo-Baptist Congregational Society (Unitarian). There's a good interdenomina-
tional co-operation right there in that one name. And speaking of interdenomina-
tionalism, here is another one: the Congregational Church in Nahant, a member of
the Essex South Association, has as its official name: "Independent Methodist
Society." This confirms what many of us have realized, that Congregational and
Independent are at times synonymous.
This co-operation among churches is in line with the trend of the times and in it
lies the hope of the world of tomorrow. And in larger areas of fellowship it is my
strong conviction that every Congregational, every Protestant minister, so far as
it lies in him, should cultivate a most friendly relation with the Roman Catholic
priest and with the Jewish rabbi in his locality.
An eminent Jewish rabbi in Greater Boston told me, not long ago, that he had
a class in his synagogue every year, in the Life and Teaching of Jesus. And he
added: "I look upon Jesus as the greatest of our prophets."
And in line with this thought, I want to add another word, namely, the increasing
importance and value of the older men in the ministry. The times today, and
especially tomorrow, demand deep thinking disciplined by wide experience. The
very existence of the church is being attacked by the insurgent barbarism across
the ocean and by the ignorant indifference right here at home. I yield to no one in
my admiration of the young men in many of our pulpits and theological schools and
32
1941] Report of the Secretary 33
churches. They are seeing visions and dreaming dreams, and I like the splendid
words of George William Curtis, great literary leader of a hundred years ago:
"Where, without the dreams of young men, lighting the future with human possi-
bility, would be the deeds of old men dignifying the past with human achieve-
ment?"
Nevertheless, the older men, with their rich content of experience, their insight
into human nature, their Christian philosophy of God and man, provided they are
still alive and vital and keep their minds open to the light, are desperately needed
in the leadership of the church and the nation in the difficult days ahead. In law
and other learned professions, an older man, with open mind, is likely to be headed
for the President's cabinet in Washington, or for a seat on the bench of the Supreme
Court. Let us, in the service of Christ, honor ourselves by utilizing both the young
men and the older men, in the work of the Church of Christ.
This reminds me of long pastorates, that is, those dating from 1915 and earlier.
There were 22 last year. The palm for the longest still belongs to Rev. Andrew
Groop of the Finnish Church in Fitchburg, holding a record of 46 years as pastor
of that one church. Dr. Mitchell of this Second Church, where we are now holding
our Annual Meeting, celebrates the 40th anniversary of his pastorate this very year.
And Eev. Eber E. Craig in the neighboring town of Attleboro Falls, has been in that
pastorate since 1915, and Rev. Arthur G. Cummings has been at his Middleboro
church since 1905. The 22 longest pastorates, that is, from 1915 or before, have
been reduced to 20 this year, by two men being promoted to larger areas of service
in Massachusetts; and I thank God they are still among us today. To name them
is to praise them: Rev. Raymond Calkins of Cambridge, and Rev. Fred V. Stanley
of Cohasset. Here are two more reasons for the value of the older men in Christian
leadership.

I still have increasing admiration for the high intelligence and warm devotion of
the leaders and people in our rural churches. They cannot make grandstand plays,
because there are not enough people in the vicinity to fill even a small grandstand.
But these communities are feeding our cities and city churches both with food and
with people. And the boys and young men, the girls and young women, now in our
rural churches may some day become the sons-in-law and the daughters-in-law of
you who are now bank presidents, mill agents, school teachers, deacons, trustees,
ministers in our large city churches. It behooves the city church to look well after
the welfare of the rural church.
I still believe in the value of cultivating the friendship of our people of foreign
stock, who constitute about two-thirds of our Massachusetts population. They are
here to stay with us. I beg of you to get acquainted with any of them who may be
living near you. Invite them to your church if they are not already connected with
some other church. They are well worth knowing and you, whose ancestors came
over on an earlier boat, are worth knowing. In any case, we are all of us in the same
boat now, and the waters outside are rough, and the sky overhead is dark and angry.
You'd better get acquainted with your neighbors. We do well to remember that the
foreigners and the Negroes are not problems. They, like us, are just people, individ-
ual persons, whom Christ thought were worth dying for, even while they were
yet sinners.
It seems to me ridiculous to think of every person who is different from us as
a problem, \v^hen he is just a person. Thomas Paine, 175 years ago said: "The sub-
lime and the ridiculous are often so closely related that it is diflScult to class them
separately. One step above the sublime makes the ridiculous, and one step above
the ridiculous makes the sublime again."
Church work, for Jesus Christ, is great work, at times difficult, at times exasper-
ating, at times baffling, but always great, and tremendously worth while, and just
now, the most needed work that one can do.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
OF WOMAN'S WORK
This second year as Executive Secretary of the Department of Woman's Work
has been for me one of unceasing activity and constant challenge. I am grateful
for this opportimity for service.
The work of this oflSce seems to resolve itself into four aspects : office work which
includes interviews and correspondence, committee work, field work and editorial
and creative writing.
As member ex officio of all committees of the Department of Woman's Work,
I attended all meetings, planned the agenda for business and executive committee
meetings and conferences of district chairmen and for special institutes. Editor
and major contributor to the two pages in the monthly issues of the "Pilgrim State
News" entitled "Massachusetts Women," I also assist with the Education Bulletin,
which is published by the Education Committee of the Department of Woman's
Work.
Program helps and worship services have been made available to our women's
organizations this year, some of these the contribution of women in our churches,
our office in this way becoming an educational center and a clearing house for much
helpful material.
This office made two direct contacts with the local church woman's organization
this year, in the fall when the year's program of Pilgrim Hall meetings was sent
and in the spring when the Reading List was sent. Other important material
accompanied them. Distribution otherwise takes place through district meetings
and is made by district chairmen.
My field work comes about only as I am personally asked for and when there is
no interfereaice with committee or other special work. I believe it is, however,
exceedingly important, as after all woman's work is done in the churches. In the
fall my assistance was especially solicited in many churches where reorganization
of the women's societies was going on. I have had nearly fifty local chm-ch engage-
ments, practically all of them in dififerent churches from last year, and twelve
district and association appointments. Several others have been out of state and
with secular organizations. At that, many invitations had to be declined because
of other responsibilities.
As a part of my general conference duties, I am a member of the Conference
Religious Education Committee, scribe of the Missions and Apportionment
Committee, convener of the Children's Division and a stafif member of the Adult
Division. I have conducted the Speakers' Bureau with its over 800 engagements,
not counting numerous recommendations. Efforts have been made and more are
on foot for the coming year to render more effective service through this Bureau,
particularly in the way of providing churches which have not had missionary guest
speakers in recent years.
Most of my vacation last summer was spent in the Dakotas observing our mis-
sionary work among the Indians. I was a member of the faculty of the Northern
New England School of Religious Education, a member of the Conference Planning
Council which met at the United Christian Adult Movement Conference at North-
field and I attended some of the sessions of the Pilgrim Fellowship Conference.
I also attended the mid-winter meetings at Evanston reporting as a member of the
Family Life Committee appointed at the conference of women state presidents last
year. I am now serving as a member of the committee setting up the Institute of
International Relations to be held at Wellesley in July, this institute being sponsored
by the Council for Social Action as it co-operates with the Friends.
Respectfully submitted,
Naomi G. Ekdahl
(Mrs. Adolph G.)

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WOMAN'S WORK
As the reports of the Standing Committees are to be printed, and will be available
at the annual meeting in May, this report will be an outline of the work done in the
Department as a whole. There have been four Executive Committee meetings;
the amiual three-day Retreat at Adelynrood in June and three all-day meetings at
Congregational House. The first gave direction and courage for the work of the
year ahead, as Mrs. White, Miss Uline and Mrs. Whiting brought messages from
the larger work, and Miss Fonnie Davis and Mrs. Albert Patten led the worship
services. One cannot adequately describe Adelynrood, but all who have experi-
enced its inspiration know what it means to the Department work. The regular
meetings followed the usual business, except that half of each day has been given
to the business of the "Second Mile Gift Committee" — the special group for the
study and promotion of a united missionary gift — under the leadership of the
Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Morton Dunning.
The April meeting of the committee was well fitted to close this year's work and
to plan for even better in the year ahead. The entire Executive Committee
together with the Second Mile Gift Committee, the Education Committee and its
District Education Chairmen all met together in sessions similar to the meetings
of the Missions Council at Evanston. At this time a tour was made of the Congre-
gational offices ac 14 Beacon Street, and at the afternoon session there were present
presidents of Woman's Work in New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and
Connecticut.
The Box Work, or Friendly Service Committee, imder the chairmanship of Miss
Amelia Burrill, reports that even in this time of many and varied emergency calls
their work has held its place well in the forefront of our activities. There have been
many calls for available education material from a niunber of new groups and new
personal interest is everywhere evident.
The new Children's Work Committee, Mrs. Harold Hanniun of Shelburne Falls,
Chairman, has made its work definitely felt in many of the churches. Its first task,
— a study of needs throughout the State — revealed a lack of leadership training,
as well as lack of knowledge of the fine printed material available. There is great
need for missionary education.
The Education Committee, Mrs. Franklin Field, Chairman, has promoted the
reading list, and prepared the chart displayed at the State Conference. It has
published three bulletins of suggestions helpful in Woman's Work, and has made
a special effort to extend the use of denominational publications.
Interest and attendance have been maintained in the Pilgrim Hall Meetings,
and Mrs. AUbright and her committee wish to express their appreciation to those
who have contributed to their programs. We wish especially to thank Dr. Page
for bringing to the March meeting his most interesting history of the Conference
from its incorporation in 1799 to the present time.
The committee on Social Action and Christian Citizenship, of which Mrs. Erwin
L. Shaver is Chairman, held its first meeting in June. Each member chose the
subject in which she was most interested, spent the summer studying and then
made a compilation of materials which are on file in the office of the executive secre-
tary. The materials are of great value to those wishing to plan meeting programs

or study groups. The state was divided into regions and two regional meetings
have been held.
The first meeting of importance in the year's work was held at Edwards Church,
Northampton, with Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire and Berkshire participating.
The occasion was the visit of Mrs. McClintock to Massachusetts. The second
important event was also held in the western part of the state — the first Ministers'
Wives' Retreat held at Northfield. The speaker was Mrs. Ralph Harlow of
Northampton.
A Retreat for Ministers' Wives of the Eastern area was held on March 31, at
Andover-Newton Theological School, with Prof. A. Philip Guiles of the Faculty
delivering the main address.
Two Regional vice-chairmen have been appointed from the Worcester and
Springfield areas to consult with the chairman and Business Committee on matters
pertaining to work in their part of the state.
The Executive Committee is grateful to Mrs. Medlicott and Miss Dorothy
Cushing of the American Board who addressed them at the February meeting.
Five members of the Executive Committee attended the United Christian Adult
Conference at Northfield in July, and more than a hundred delegates from the
Massachusetts Woman's Work were at General Council Sessions at Berkeley in
August. The Chairman and Executive Secretary represented the department at
the Mid-winter sessions of the Missions Council at Evanston, and Mrs. Field was
a member of the Southern Study Tour.
Though the report of the Second Mile Gift Committee will be given in detail
elsewhere, this report wishes to recognize the importance and far-reaching influence
of its work. In its threefold effort we shall serve State, Home and Foreign needs
through a new gift, over and above all former giving. The amount raised will be
divided equally with Conference, Home and American Boards.
In January Mrs. Dunning resigned from all committee work. Mrs. Field was
appointed Vice-Chairman of the Woman's Department, and as such, became
automatically chairman of the Second Mile Gift Committee. We should pause
for a moment to consider that the ideal of this committee represents a vision, an
idea, and a deep desire of Massachusetts women — namely — a statewide, united
missionary gift — a voluntary "Second Mile" contribution from each church group.
We very much regret Mrs. Dunning's resignation from the Business Committee,
where she served faithfully for four years.
The Chairman feels very grateful for the fine fellowship, the inspiration, and the
opportunity for service in the Department of Woman's Work.
Respectfully submitted,
Augusta F. Clark, Chairman
52 Advance Reports [1941
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
One result of the coordinated program of the state conference which is in process
of development has been to reduce the number of meetings of the regular com-
mittees. This committee has held three meetings since the last state conference,
in which it has been engaged with various items of business the chief of which are
noted in this report.
1. The Coordinated Program. The purpose of this program and its general plan
have made it predominantly educational and, therefore, a major concern of this
committee. It grew out of a joint meeting of chairmen of committees with the
conference staff in which the need for a more closely coordinated program of work
in the chiu-ches which the state conference might promote was strongly felt. This
was followed by a two-day meeting of conference committee members at Concord
in November, 1939, then by a meeting of committee chairmen with staff members,
at which it was agreed that the desired coordination would best be achieved by
developing a well balanced program for each age group: children, young people,
and adults, with each conference committee contributing to its development and
sharing in its promotion.
Fiu-ther staff and group meetings were held out of which has grown the plan of
"Committee and Program Organization" described in a mimeographed outline
which has been quite widely distributed. In its simplest terms, this plan calls for
the organization of three age-group divisions : Children, Yoimg People, and Adults,
on each of which each of the conference committees are represented, together with
other persons qualified to contribute toward the building of its specific program,
and to each of which a staff member of the conference is assigned. To save an
excessive number of large meetings, an Executive Committee, known as the Pro-
gram Directors is proposed, to consist of the conference staff and the chairman of
the conference committees and of the three divisions. All of these head up in a
Coordinating Council, composed of the staff and the entire membership of the con-
ference committees, and the Woman's Department.
The details of this program were worked out by a group composed of the con-
ference staff and chosen members of the various committees, meeting at Northfield,
July 20-27, 1940; in connection with the Adult Conference and the Religious
Education Conference held at that time. They have been fm-ther studied and
developed in meetings of the conference committees, the age-group divisions, and
program directors.
While it will take time and much careful work to fidly develop this plan, it is
the conviction of those who have worked on it that it will accomplish two important
ends: the creation of a better balanced program for the churches which the state
conference can heartily recommend to local associations and churches, and a better
understanding on the part of each conference committee of the purposes and work
of the other committees and more effective co-operation on the part of all com-
mittees.
2. Children's Work. At one of the earlier meetings above mentioned, our com-
mittee voted that the responsibility for developing and promoting the program of
children's work be delegated to the Department of Woman's Work of the State
Conference, with the understanding that the chairman of the Woman's Depart-
ment Committee on Religious Education be always a member of the state committee
on religious education.
1941] Advance Reports 53
The Woman's Department has accepted this responsibility and is meeting it
with its usual energy and effectiveness and with increasingly good results. In addi-
tion to practical suggestions on the best methods of work with children in the local
chvu-ch, attention has been given to the strengthening of leadership training for
workers with children through institutes, loan libraries, and the use of the many
excellent community training schools and summer conferences.
3. Young People's Work. This centers largely in the Pilgrim Fellowship which
has made considerable progress in Massachusetts during the past year. Detailed
information as to its organization and program are given in the folder "The Pilgrim
Fellowship in Massachusetts" which can be secured at this meeting of the state
conference or from the conference office. We strongly urge every minister and every
leader and worker with young people to become thoroughly informed with reference
to this important movement and to give it the heartiest possible support.
The Pilgrim Fellowship summer conferences have been very successful. Three
were held in the smnmer of 1940, two for high school young people at Amherst and
a leader's planning conference at Wilbraham. For 1941 four conferences are
planned as follows:
At Amherst, June 22-29, High School age, Rev. Albert Penner, Dean
Wilbraham, June 22-29, Leaders Conference, Rev. Ray Gibbons, Dean
Wilbraham, June 29-July 6, High School age. Rev. Pierson Harris, Dean
Franklin, June 21-28, High School age. Rev. WilHam Usher, Dean.
The committee cannot too strongly urge our churches to make the fullest possible
use of these conferences and of the Conference of Religious Education at Northfield
and other summer conferences for more advanced work. Full information as to
dates, cost, nature of each conference, etc., will be sent to each minister as in past
years. The simimer conference has proved its value as one of our best means of
training and enlisting of workers in the church school and in the church at large.
The committee calls attention to another item in connection with the Pilgrim
Fellowship and that is the Massachusetts Council, made up of two representatives
appointed by each local association and four from the senates of the smnmer con-
ferences. Most of the associations are appointing representatives to this council
but a few have not done so as yet. We urge that every association make such
appointment and provide for the necessary expense of attendance upon meetings
of the Council which are not numerous, but are important. The experience which
the young people have in this Council is the best sort of training for church work and
will richly repay the moderate cost.
4. Adult Work. Of especial significance in this field is the New England Regional
Conference on Adult Work to be held this summer in connection with the Northfield
Conference of Religious Education during the last week of its session, July 19-26.
The conference of last summer was inspiring and full of practical helpfulness.
Any church that will secure the attendance of some of its men and women will be
well repaid. Its significance has been recognized by the state conference in its
vote to meet a share of the expenses of any member of a state or association com-
mittee, up to $10, who will attend this conference neixt July. We commend this
to the attention of each association and each local church.
5. Week Day Religious Education. There is now before our state legislature a bill
which, if passed, will permit pupils to be excused from the public schools for the
purpose of religious instruction under suitable conditions and supervision. There
seems to be a fair chance that this bill may be passed. If it is, it will create a situa-
54 Advance Reports [1941
tion that should be of concern to every pastor and every church. There is real
danger that our Protestant chiu-ches may be confronted by an opportunity and a
responsibility which they are not adequately prepared to meet. We recommend
that this subject be given careful study by the leaders of our churches. The Educa-
tion Department of the Massachusetts Council of Churches has made this one of
its major items of work and can give helpful information.
6. Director of Religious Education. For several years this committee has called
attention to the need for a full time director of religious education without results.
We urgently recommend and request that this matter be given attention. It is
simply impossible for the important work for which this committee is responsible
to be carried on with any effectiveness without more continuous skilled leadership.
This is strongly felt by the educational committees of the various associations.
At a meeting of these committees held two years ago it was requested that the edu-
cational director should meet with the educational committees of the associations
at least twice diu-ing the year. It was also requested that a series of institutes be
held throughout the state. The Pilgrim Fellowship calls for active service if its
growth is to continue. As has been intimated, the Coordinated Program is largely
educational and will call for close attention. These are but a few of the reasons why
the Massachusetts Conference, the largest in the country, should be no longer
content with a minor fraction of the time of one secretary in this department.
None of this is any reflection on the ability and skill of Mr. Bower. The com-
mittee fully appreciates the value of his services and what he has accomplished in
this office. It is impossible, however, to do justice to the religious educational
interests of our churches or to provide the needed leadership and service under the
present one-third time arrangement, no matter how able the person may be. We
therefore request that this matter be given immediate and careful attention by the
Trustees and that provision be made in the budget for more adequate leadership
in this department.
7. At a recent meeting of the Trustees a vote was passed asking this committee
to investigate the causes of the decreasing membership and attendance in the
church schools of the state. This request was considered by the committee and a
special committee was appointed to study the problem and to make recommenda-
tions for its solution. The situation is not limited to Massachusetts but is wide-
spread throughout the country and in churches of other denominations as well as
our own. Studies that have been made reveal at least two contributing causes:
the decrease in the niunber of children which is having its effect upon public school
enrollment as well as that of church schools, and the general feeling that the pro-
gram of our church schools does not command the interest of children in comparison
with other programs which emphasize creative activity. The special committee
appointed to study this matter consists of Mr. W. P. Buckwalter (chairman).
Rev. W. R. Usher, Mrs. Marcus Morton, Dr. Harry T. Stock, and Prof. Arthur W.
Leighton. They will report with recommendations at as early a date as possible.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
MORAL AND SOCIAL WELFARE
Because of resignations and the inability of members of the Committee on Moral
and Social Welfare to be present at meetings of this committee it has been in a
rather disorganized state since the last annual meeting of the Conference.
At a meeting in the fall Rev. Roswell F. Hinkelman of Framingham was elected
chairman and Mrs. Benjamin C. Lane graciously consented to serve again as
secretary.
The committee has beien represented at hearings at the State House where we
have opposed the proposed lottery for old-age assistance, favored a bill which would
prohibit the sale of liquor on Sundays, and opposed pari-mutuel betting at horse
and dog tracks. We have co-operated with the Massachusetts Council of Churches,
the Massachusetts Civic League and other groups to arouse sentiment in such
matters as these coming up before the present legislature.
Our committee is represented on the three age-group divisions (Children's,
Young People's, and Adult's) through which our Conference is seeking to carry on
more effectively the educational work of our various state committees. The chair-
man of the Committee on Moral and Social Welfare represented it during the
Adult Conference at Northfield last summer when plans for these age-group divi-
sions were set up by members of the staff and various committees and departments
of our state work.
A few churches and individuals have written to this committee and have been
helped in matters of refugee work or specific programs and speakers.
We have sought to get the matter of social action introduced into the programs
of Association meetings, particularly emphasizing the need of chm-ches and minis-
ters being aware of and utilizing the resources already available in city, state, and
federal agencies that can help in solving some of the specific problems of individuals
within our churches.
We have co-operated with the Council for Social Action in the total educational
program, particularly seeking for a wider reading of the magazine, "Social Action."
A hope that this committee might bring together the Social Action chairmen
of the various Associations once or twice during the year to discuss and plan for
a program within the Association and the local church has not materialized as yet,
but we believe it would be an effective way in which this committee might serve
during the coming year, and would make for a more concerted program throughout
the state.
We would like to commend the Conference of the United Christian Adult Move-
ment to be held at Northfield this summer from July 19-26 and urge that churches
or associations send one or more adults to it, for this would give a real stimulus to
the work of social action and the total adult work in our churches and Associations.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS AND
APPORTIONMENT
To meet present opportunities and to plant seeds of constructive eflFort which
shall bear fruit later, has been the twofold aim of the Committee on Missions and
Apportionment this past year.
A survey of the minutes of its seven meetings, and one sub-committee meeting,
show the following promotional and educational projects carried out:
1. Setting up an intensive schedule of appointments for Rev. George Shepherd
of China diu-ing the first half of December, in such areas as Fall River, New Bedford,
Middleboro, Cambridge, Melrose, Fitchburg and Lunenburg; also co-operating in
using certain available dates of Dr. Hugh Vernon White.
2. Preparing of brief Calendar items by Mr. Macnair of the committee, designed
to focus the attention of our Church people on the work of our State Conference
and missionary interests generally.
3. The holding of an institute for Church missionary committees, benevolence
treasurers. Pastors and others interested, from the four greater Boston Associations,
at Newton Center on January 12th. A most successful gathering, with 200 in
attendance, for help in preparing which our appreciation goes to Rev. James Walter,
as well as those who took part in the program.
4. Copies of the program of this gathering were sent to all the Association Mis-
sionary Committee chairmen in the state, with an accompanying letter, suggesting
the value of similar gatherings in their areas, and offering the services of this com-
mittee toward that end.
A similar gathering is projected for the Worcester area on May 21, in conjunction
with a laymen's gathering at which Moderator Sweet will be present.
5. The committee has tried to see that new ministers coming into the state are
put in touch with 14 Beacon Street as soon as possible, meeting the State Conference
staff and the officers of the various boards. The minister is the key person in the
missionary activity of the Church.
6. At the suggestion of the committee, a letter was sent out from the state office
to 31 Churches which have been "non-giving Churches" over a period of three years,
with a very favorable response.
7. A representative of this committee was appointed on each of the three age-
group divisions. Children's, Youth, and Adult, in line with the effort to channel the
work of the various state committees through these three age-groups.
The committee has the following plans in mind as future projects, and would
name them at this time as recommendations :
(a) A meeting of all Association Missionary Committee chairmen in early May,
between the Association meetings and the State Conference.
(b) A get-together of Association Moderators and Scribes, chairmen of Associa-
tion Missionary Committees, Religious Education Committees, Laymen's Com-
mittees, and presidents of the various Women's Districts, on Saturday, May 17th,
at 1 P.M., during the State Conference at Attleboro.
(c) It recommends that the State Laymen's Committee this fall sponsor, in
various parts of the state, meetings of those interested in Church finance, specifically
1941] Advance Reports 57
those responsible for the Every Member Canvass, with a view to keeping a well-
balanced stewardship approach in all Church giving.
The committee has worked in close conjunction with the Department of Woman's
Work, having Mrs. Clark, state chairman, as an active member of the committee,
also Mrs. Ekdahl, Secretary of Woman's Work, as convener and chairman of this
committee.
We have also had the most cordial co-operation from the Missions Council,
Mr. Walter being made an ex-officio member of the committee, and sitting in on
most of its meetings.
Mission study books were purchased for the various Association Missionary
leaders.
The ever willing support and helpful advice from Mr. Timberlake, President of
the Conference, has been appreciated.
We were sorry to lose one of our committee during the year through resignation
on account of ill health, Mrs. Morton Dunning of Wellesley Hills. In her place
we were pleased to welcome Mrs. Franklin G. Field of Brighton, who has already
been so active in the work of the Woman's Department.
The chairman is deeply grateful for the fine support which has come from all
members of the committee, the many fruitful suggestions and the willingness to
accept assignments for carrying out its work, especially the efficient work of Mrs.
Ekdahl as secretary of the committee.
Surely any adequate facing up to the total task of the Church must include a place
for its missionary program in all its aspects. The crucial condition of the world
only makes this the more obvious, confirming us in our faith that in Christ alone is
there redemption for the world. All Christian people, ministers and laity alike,
may well ponder these three questions: Is your God big enough to share? Are you
sharing Him? Can you keep Him and not share Him?
Gifts to the Apportionment from the Churches of Massachusetts in 1940 were
slightly less than the year before. The loss of $854 however, was not borne propor-
tionately. In fact our own State Conference showed a gain of $1,640 and the
Council for Social Action a gain of $125. The Board of Home Missions was the
heaviest loser, with a net loss of $1,998; the American Board's loss was $591;
and the Boston Seamen's Friend Society's loss was $30.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
POLITY AND STANDARDS FOR THE MINISTRY
The Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry, continuing the helpful
policy of the two previous years, held a fourth conference meeting wdth Associational
scribes and chairmen of committees on ministerial standing on October 1, 1940,
at Park Chm-ch in Worcester. We have had, also, two meetings by ourselves.
Following the expressed purpose of these four conference meetings to bring about
a greater degree of uniformity relative to ministerial standards throughout the
state, the Committee on Polity offers for approval the following "Licensure Stand-
ards and Procedure", to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the State Conference
in Attleboro.
Licensure Standards and Procedure
A. Purpose
Licensure gives the privilege of preaching wherever invited and of fulfilling the
functions of a Christian Minister in church work and public worship, except con-
ducting funeral services and performing the rites of Baptism and the Lord's Supper
(which, however, may be authorized by special vote of the particular Church, with
the approval of the Association), and except performing the marriage ceremony,
when strict conformity to the Law of the state must be observed.
B. Requirements
1. Resident active membership in a Congregational-Christian Chm-ch for at least
one year.
2. Appearance before Association Committee on Credentials, for examination.
a. Actual experience in Christian service.
b. Satisfactory knowledge of Congregational history and polity. (See: Fagley's
"Congregational Churches" and Burton's "Manual", pp. 1-72).
c. Written sermon, which candidate may be asked to preach.
d. Adaptability for Congregational-Christian leadership, as judged by Com-
mittee's inquiry and observation.
e. Evidence of having met standard scholastic requirements : graduation from
a college of recognized standing, and the completion of one year in a
theological seminary of recognized standing.
f. Written statements on: Call to the Christian ministry. Christian experience
and beliefs, reason for seeking licensure, and reason for seeking licensure
in Congregational Churches.
g. An expressed purpose to proceed later with ordination.
C. Procedure
1. After thorough examination of the candidate, the Committee on Credentials
shall refer the applicant to (a) the Committee on Polity and (b) the Associa-
tion, which has power to accept or reject the applicant.
2. Each licentiate should have an adviser, who shall confer with the licentiate
at least once a year.
3. Ordinarily, the license should be issued for one year only; and it should be
renewed annually, upon application.
1941] Advance Reports 59
4. Normally, the license — and especially the renewal of the license — should be
sought within the bounds of the Association where the licentiate is carrying
on his work.
5. A service of consecration should be held at the time of the initial licensure, if
possible. (See Burton's "Manual", p. 182, for example).
A Suggestion
The common practice among the Massachusetts Congregational Churches is that
the power of licensing and ordaining of ministers is vested in the local Association.
While still adhering to this principle, it is recognized that there would be value to
the Associations in having the advice and counsel of a Standing Committee of
the Conference.
To this end it is recommended that the Committee on Polity and Standards be
organized in the following way :
The Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry shall be a standing com-
mittee of the Conference.
Membership. Its membership shall be made up of ten ministers representing
as wide an area of the Conference as possible. Two members shall be elected each
year, to serve terms of five years. Beginning in 1941, elections shall be made to
fit in with this policy.
Meetings. The Committee shall meet, ordinarily, five times a year, on the third
Monday of September, November, January, March, and May. As may be neces-
sary for consultation w^th candidates, the Committee shall meet in the eastern and
the western parts of the state. Four members shall constitute a quoriun.
Duties. In addition to establishing and maintaining high standards for our
Congregational ministry, this Committee shall receive from each Association for
its review and judgment all applications for licensure and ordination. The Com-
mittee, according to its own established procedure, shall act promptly on each
application, and shall, after due deliberation and examination, inform the Associa-
tion of its recommendations.
It is understood that, having received the recommendations of this State Com-
mittee on Polity, the local Association still maintains full authority to decide
upon the licensing or ordaining of any candidate.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RELATION OF
CHURCHES AND COLLEGES
The Committee on the Relation of Churches and Colleges has held six meetings
in various sections of the state. We have held two conferences for ministers
interested in work with college students (one at Northampton, one at Cambridge),
where we discussed the questionnaire findings on "Religion and the Campus".
The committee is impressed with the need of strengthening the work of our church
in the life of the colleges of our state. We feel strongly that this is one of the most
strategic matters now before our conference. Something should be done; and
something can be done. The critical situation calls for immediate action on our
part. We believe that the following recommendations, which were passed at our
last meeting in Boston on April 3, 1941, will help materially in strengthening the
influence of our church in the life of our colleges, and will lead to a revitalization of
religion among some of our important student groups.
1. Recommended: That an annual conference for Congregational pastors work-
ing with students be held in conjunction with the Student Christian Movement
Staff Conference, and that the Massachusetts Congregational Conference subsidize
the same on behalf of our ministers attending to the extent of $50, the same
to be used more particularly for those men residing 50 miles or more from the
conference meeting place (which is now Northfield).
2. Recommended: That we heartily approve the proposed college student
smnmer conference to be held in conjunction with the Pilgrim Fellowship Con-
ference, meeting again this year in Wilbraham; and that we endorse as of marked
value the Interdenominational Conference of the New England Christian Student
Movement to be held at 0-At-Ka Jime 9-16.
3. Recommended: That the Wilbraham College Conference consider the possi-
bility of promoting Pilgrim Fellowship groups among college students.
4. Recommended: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society set aside the sum of $3,000 to be used in one or more of the
following projects :
a. A graduate student counselor in religion, who would work with college
students as a representative of the local church. One or more of these
student counselors would be placed in college centers where the situation
promises to be most advantageous. (Several situations are now ripe for
action.)
b. A student pastor in one or more university or college centers. (One or two
situations are developing that offer a real challenge.)
5. Recommended: That we express our sense of need for a curriculum conference
on the teaching of religion in our colleges, a conference of church leaders and ad-
ministrative heads of our colleges, and our willingness to co-operate in such a
confer^ce.
6. Recommended: A. That a larger interest in the religious needs of college
students can be created throughout our fellowship by placing on the fall programs
of all our association meetings speakers who shall impart information concerning
the work of this committee. B. That a list of Congregational ministers in college
communities, who will take it upon themselves to become acquainted with and
follow up new Congregational students, be prej)ared. C. And that our churches
be urged to acquaint such ministers in these college communities with the presence
1941] Advance Reports 61
of their young people in their midst; and that an effort to register such college
students be undertaken when our speakers present the work of our committee at the
fall association meetings.

REPORT OF THE LAYMEN'S COMMITTEE
The State Laymen's Committee, formed to assist the Laymen's Committees
of the Associations and other laymen's organizations of the churches, and designed
to stimulate laymen's activities, endeavors to help make the Church a more potent
factor in the life of the Community, the Nation and the World and has striven
during the year to perform these functions. The Committee conceives, in part, its
task to be:
1 . To help laymen of the churches present the need for more effective instruction
in Christian principles and concepts.
2. To aid in and encourage use of religious educators, leading citizens and Mell
selected printed material for developing basic instruction in Christian princi-
ples.
3. To co-operate with the Association Laymen's Committees and laymen's
organizations of churches interested, in helping the churches more effectively
meet their problems.
4. To help organize and assist Men's Church Groups in localities where Associa-
tions are not now operating.
5. To counsel with and aid men's organizations when needs arise for help from
laymen who will share experiences and offer suggestions pertaining to laymen's
responsibilities in chiu-ch activities.
The State Laymen's Committee is made up of representative laymen from all
parts of the state who have been selected because of their experience and leader-
ship. They are chosen from among those who are in touch with what is going on
among the men's organizations, thus keeping the Committee in contact with the
whole field.
Regular meetings of the Committee are held at which time information is
gathered and plans are made to render assistance where needed.
The Committee, apart from its advisory and counselling relationship, from time
to time sponsors and arranges meetings for laymen. The Laymen's Retreat, at
Andover Newton Theological School on September 13, 14 and 15, 1940, was such
a gathering of laymen from all parts of the State. At this Retreat subjects pre-
sented and discussions entered upon were along these lines:
The Congregational Set-up.
Discussion of Congregational matters in General and in Particular.
Laymen's Work for the Year Described and Discussed.
Phases of Work by and with Laymen in One Church.
What are we for as a Church, anyway.'
Rethinking Congregationalism.
Present-day Outreach.
The findings and recommendations of this Conference were assembled and sent
to the Laymen's Committees and other laymen throughout the State for their
information and help in their respective fields.
The Committee has co-operated with the Program Committee in planning for the
62 Advance Reports [1941
Annual Meeting of the Conference, May 16, 17 and 18, 1941, to be held at the
Second Congregational Church in Attleboro. The arrangements for the Laymen's
Meeting and laymen's participation at the Conference have been carefully con-
sidered. The program gives recognition to two leading laymen, Governor William
E. Sweet, Moderator of the Congregational Churches of the United States and
Mr. Francis E. Harmon of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America,
who will speak to the Laymen and Ministers at the Conference.
The Committee has voted its approval of the Isles of Shoals Conference to be held
August 15-18 and plans to co-operate in matters of attendance of laymen from
Massachusetts. '
The State Laymen's Committee has in prospect the Annual Meeting of the Com-
mittee early in June at which time plans for the coming year will be determined
upon, including the Laymen's Retreat in September, 1941.
The Committee acknowledges with much appreciation the co-operation and
practical assistance rendered at all times by the President of the Conference,
Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, and members of his staff, who have facilitated the
activities of the Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Clarence C. Beaslet, Chairman
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
EVANGELISM AND DEVOTIONAL LIFE
Your Committee, during the past year, has been active in many ways. During
the month of September, under the auspices of this Committee, three Ministers'
Retreats were held at Adelynrood, at Wheaton College, Norton and at Williston
Academy, Easthampton. The leaders at these Retreats were Rev. Hugh Vernon
White, Rev. Boynton Merrill, Prof. Nels F. S. Ferre, and Rev. Arthur H. Bradford.
Dr. White and Prof. Ferre discussed the theme of "Revelation — Man's Approach
to God and God's Approach to Man," and Dr. Merrill and Dr. Bradford led in very
interesting conferences on "Pastoral Relations" and "Planning the Church Year."
The retreats were well attended and from the response received they seemed very
vital.
On recommendations of the Planning Council, this work of sponsoring Minister's
Retreats has now been turned over to a department of the Executive Staff, and since
that time the Committee on Evangelism and Devotional Life has been working on
items of the Program of Progress, which seemed to be especially related to the work
of this committee, such as Public Worship, Church Membership and Increase.
The Committee took the liberty of enlarging its membership, when the new work
was undertaken, by adding the names of Rev. Eric W. Grimshaw, of Worcester;
Rev. Fred D. Bennett, of Boston; Rev. Paul B. Myers of Taunton and Rev.
Harlin M. Campbell of Everett.
One meeting was held with Rev. Frederick L. Fagley of the General Council
Committee on Evangelism and Devotional Life and it was through the work of our
Committee that the printed cards for use in looking after absentee members were
made available to the ministers and Chm-ches.
Respectfully submitted.

THE TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OF PASTORAL SUPPLY
For the Year Ending March 31, 1941
The meeting of the Board in December was mainly occupied with the discussion
of future policy. The cause of the discussion was the announcement by the Secre-
tary of his retirement March 31, 1942, in accordance with the understanding when
he took office seven years ago that he should retire at seventy years of age. Every
member of the Board present participated in the discussion which was felt to be
an unusually profitable one. As a result a committee was appointed to formulate
the issues which seemed to confront the chiu^ches at this time in connection with the
future of the Board and to secure an adequate discussion of these issues. The com-
mittee consisted of Rev. Horace F. Holton of Massachusetts, chairman. Rev. Asa
M. Parker of New Hampshire, Mr. Bm-ton S. Flagg of Massachusetts, and Mr.
Bm-dette C. Hopkins of Connecticut. Under date of February 20th this committee
through the State offices sent a circular letter to the "Congregational Churches and
Ministers of New England". In this letter '"our choices were outlined for handling
the future of the Congregational Board of Pastoral Supply :
1. Shall the Board be continued as at present, and a new full-time secretary
secured.''
2. Shall the work of the Board be carried on with a reduced staff and the actual
counseling with churches and ministers devolve entirely upon the State Superin-
tendents?
3. Shall the Board be continued as at present with its field enlarged to include
New York and the Middle Atlantic Conferences.''
4. Shall the Board be merged with a proposed National Bureau of Pastoral
Information.''
Consideration of these choices by churches, ministers, and laymen, individually
or in groups, was called for, the results of such discussion to be sent to Chairman
Holton, at 22 Avon Street, Brockton, Massachusetts. In addition the expression
of personal opinion was invited. All the material thus secured will be carefully
studied and summaries of opinion will be presented to the Board at its Annual
Meeting, June 9th. It should be said that the Board in no sense has made up its
own mind. It is not conducting this discussion because it has any preconceived
theory. It does believe that a work of so great importance as is entrusted to the
Board should be handled in the very best way possible and in accordance with the
most intelligent judgment of the churches of our constituency.
Meanwhile, we have to report another year of service, the statistics for which
are as follows:

It will be noticed that in general the figures are below those of the preceding year
but approximate those of the year 1938-39.
Finance
On a subsequent page the Treasurer's report is given. Again the expenditures
have exceeded the receipts by $410.31, and our working balance has been thereby
decreased. This is largely due to the decrease in the appropriation from Massachu-
setts which was $3,400 instead of $3,700 as in the previous year. We are venturing
to ask Massachusetts for $4,000 for the coming year not only in order that our
working balance may not still be further decreased but also that the Secretary will
not be under the necessity of raising so large an amount in contributions from
churches and individuals and may also be freer in the use of his Sundays. The past
year, for example, the amount received from his preaching was $635.40 of which all
but $114.70 came from preaching in vacant churches. This year as the year before

$100 was received from the New York Congregational Conference. The amount
for "oflBce supplies and sundries" includes $34 for the circular letter to churches and
ministers with reference to the future of the Board.
Theological Seminaries
The figures of graduates of seminaries who were planning to enter the Congrega-
tional ministry at Commencement, 1940, were: Andover, 12; Atlanta, 3; Bangor, 8;
Chicago, 10; Hartford, 4; Harvard, 3; Oberlin, 2; Pacific, 1; Yale, 9. Total, 52.
This compares with an average for the four preceding years of 64.
This year as last, the Secretary of the Board served as an examiner for the seniors
of Andover-Newton Theological School.
A Restatement of the Object of the Boaed
At the Annual Meeting in June, Article II of the By-Laws was revised to read as
follows :
"The primary object of this Board shall be, in co-operation with its
constituent state conferences, to secure for the Congregational Christian
churches of New England the most effective pastoral service, thereby also
helping Congregational Christian ministers to obtain pastorates."
Previously the By-Law had read:
"The primary object of this Board shall be, in co-operation with its
constituent State Conferences, to secure for the Congregational and
Christian Churches of New England the most effective pastoral service."
The purpose of the change was to make it more clear that while the work of the
Board was primarily to help the churches it nevertheless was also constituted to
help ministers.
Meetings
Attendance at the two meetings of the Board were as follows: at the Annual
Meeting in June, fourteen; at the Semi-Annual Meeting in December, nineteen.
The total membership is twenty-one. At the Executive Committee meeting
April 1, 1940, five of the nine members were present.
Personnel
The Board once more wishes to express its appreciation of the service of the two
members of its staff. Miss Bridgman and Miss Howe, whose interest in our w^ork
is only equalled by their effectiveness. We are also greatly indebted for volunteer
service to our Treasurer, Mr. Black, and our Auditor, Mr. Flagg, who with the
Secretary constitute the Office and the Budget Committees and act as nearby
counselors to the Secretary between the meetings of the Board.
Standards
It would appear to your Board that the most significant event with regard to
our Congregational Christian ministry during the past year was the adoption by
the General Council at Berkeley of a set of "Standards for the Congregational
Christian Ministry". These were of course adopted "for recommendation to
churches, associations, conferences, and denominational officials". They were
based upon the returns from a questionnaire which had been sent out to registrars
of associations, to state superintendents, and to other interested and informed
people. They probably represent the high water mark in an effort to suggest the
principles which should obtain in admitting men to our ministry. If these standards
can be measurably lived up to during the years which are ahead the work of such
a Board as ours will indeed be greatly eased, but of far greater importance, the whole
66 Advance Reports [1941
quality of our ministry and the life of our churches will be changed. To the ob-
servance of these standards everyone who cares for the attainment of such results
should devote himself.

BOSTON SEAMAN'S FRIEND SOCIETY
The following information should be of interest to every Congregationalist in
Massachusetts. This Society is working for deserving seamen in your name and
you want to know what is being done.
The Comforts of Home
Warm quarters, good meals, and a comfortable bed are furnished for fifty cents
to men who can pay for them. Those out of funds receive the same treatment,
and in most cases pay their debts when they again have work. Necessary articles
of used clothing are supplied to the men as far as possible. Scarves, mittens and
wristers knitted by friends of the Society are given as needed. Shoes are kept in
repair, and many necessary stitches are taken on well worn clothing. Baggage is
checked free, and winter clothing is cared for during the siuumer until needed in
the fall.
Emergency Service
If taken sick, he is sent at once to the United States Marine Hospital either at
Boston or Vineyard Haven, where he is visited once a week by our Social Worker. If he
needs a place in which to convalesce, our home is open to him, and special diet needs
are looked after as much as possible. When out of work, our free employment service
helps him to a new job on another ship. If he is stranded penniless and is worthy
we aid him financially. At Vineyard Haven, our launch is ready all the year to
render assistance to visiting boats, and distribute books and magazines.
Keeping Up the Morale
Friendly people meet him and are ready to advise him in any way he desires.
He finds a library with good books, magazines and newspapers. There are games
and companionship with both men and women. Wholesome entertainments are
given two evenings a week. There are lectures, concerts, plays both educational
and amusing which are followed by simple refreshments. Special holidays are
celebrated in real home style and are free to all seamen. During the summer, books
and magazines are carried by launch to the boats in the harbor.
Building Character
Simple religious services are held each Sunday night giving an uplift which the
men need. On Christmas and Easter Sunday special decorations add to the appeal
of the messages. The "Hold Fast" Society at Vineyard Haven pledges its mem-
bers to the Christian life and to fellowship with all wearing the same badge, in
whatever port. From Hanover Street, members of the Anchor Alliance go out
promising to refrain from intoxicating liquors, and to try to keep to the ideal of clean,
wholesome living upheld by the Alliance. Part of its object is to create loyalty and
a feeling of common brotherhood among seamen of all nations.
Through these four channels we strive to do the work intrusted to us by you, for
all seamen who seek our aid.

ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Fourteen cents per member is asked this year of
the Churches. Eight cents of the fourteen goes to the General Council (formerly
The National Council) and six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of
the six cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organization
to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.
71
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements with
the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part of their
property to be appHed to our work after their death, and desire an assured income
from this property for themselves, or for others whom they may designate as
beneficiaries, so long as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning
such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for the benefit of
churches. Many churches have put their trust funds in the care of the Conference.
It is now administering trust funds for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of
•over $630,000. If any extra expense is incurred that is charged against the principal
■or income of the fund involved. Funds which have been committed to our care have
earned a little less than 4% this last year.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up for the most
part of persons who have had little experience in administering funds, to guard the
safety of church trust funds. The Conference has exceptional facilities for keeping
funds safely and investing them profitab'y and wisely. The Board of Trustees of
the Conference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large ability and
experience in such matters.

agreement with the Worcester City Missionary Society, is responsible for the
financial assistance and the supervision of home missionary churches in Worcester

fellowship of the Congregational churches of the city and is responsible for aiding
churches in property matters, contributing toward the purchase and maintenance
of property and the payment of building debts.
Contributions for home missions from the churches in Worcester, to be credited
on the apportionment, should be sent to the Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference and Missionary Society. Contributions for the local work, given in addi-

the treasurer of the Worcester City Missionary Society.
73
GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CON-
GREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1 . Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of
the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Missionary Committee of the local Association of
Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the President or Secre-
tary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council-
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are self-
evident. "'W. C," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically ; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 1938. Admissions
and removals cover the year 1937. "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females"
and "total," but included in them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1938, or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained' ' denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i"; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r,"; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by council, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field; "§", for address see alphabetical list in back of book.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but means "no report ;
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" home department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk* indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year offers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.

confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Each evangelical Congregational church in this Common-
wealth or Christian church that is a member of a Congregational-Christian Asso-
ciation of churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom
it is suggested one shall be a layman and the other a lay woman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each chvu-ch (who shall be members ex oflBcio)
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee members
of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life mem-
bers of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the voting
membership of the Conference; it is provided, however, that pastors of churches to

the policy of the Conference to retire every such employee upon his or her attaining

to the approval of this committee.
(ii) Two members of this committee to serve ex officio as members
of the State Committee of Congregational Young People.

After the Secretary's report. Rev. William M. Macnair pre-
sented the following resolution:
RESOLVED: That men serving in the armed forces of the nation are given
honorable discharge when their term of service comes to an end. Men who have
served the Christian Church should also be given honorable discharge as they retire
from active duty.
This year the Eev. Alfred V. Bliss has reached the end of his period of service
as Secretary of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society. Therefore, in recognition of his faithful and devoted service, this Confer-
ence hereby places upon record its high appreciation of his long and loving service
of the churches, especially those of the rural areas and those of our foreign-born
brethren.
As a Christian gentleman, as a devoted worker and friend of the churches, he
deserves and now receives our commendation and approval as he retires from office.
This recommendation was unanimously approved by a rising
vote.
In accordance with the request of the President, Rev. Paul S.
McElroy was called upon to speak on behalf of the Pilgrim
Fellowship Summer Conferences.
The President also suggested that the Business Committee
prepare a resolution of greeting to our ministers who have gone
into the chaplaincy.
26 Minutes [1942
The Treasurer of the Conference presented his report, printed
copies of which had been distributed to the members of the
Conference. This report, together with that of the Secretary,
is printed elsewhere in the Minutes and Reports.
The fourth report was that of Rev. Carl F. Schultz, Chairman
of the Board of Trustees.
Upon recommendation of the Business Committee, Rev.
Edward C. Camp addressed the Conference on behalf of the
Massachusetts Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Camp is a representa-
tive of the Conference on the Board of the League. The report
was accepted.
Also upon recommendation of the Business Committee, the
following resolution was presented by Rev. Samuel Young:
RESOLVED: That in view of the basic importance of the Sunday services of
worship, we view with concern the multiplication of appeals for conferences, insti-
tutes and mass meetings that conflict with the Sunday services of worship in the
churches.
Many of these appeals are in the interest of causes that are not only important,
but often religious, and sometimes in the nature of an emergency. However, the
multiplicity of these appeals has become a matter of serious competition with the
regular church attendance, which is so vital to the welfare of our communities and
to the extensive work of the churches.
The appeals for recreation and commercial enterprises present serious difficulties,
in view of which it seems desirable that the religious and progressive forces should
work together.
The pastors and churches desire to promote all worthy causes, but believe that
a careful guarding of the services of worship will, in the long run, not only enable
the leaders and workers in the church better to cooperate, but most effectively and
basically promote the values and causes represented by the conflicting appeals.
The Massachusetts Congregational Conference, therefore, respectfully requests
that religious and social service organizations avoid conflict with the regular and
well established services of the churches, and help them keep Sunday as a day of
reverence and spiritual development.
It was
VOTED: That this resolution be adopted, and that a copy be sent to His Excel-
lency the Governor of the State and His Honor, the Mayor of Boston.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The afternoon program was opened by a Panel Discussion on
the relation of Churches and Colleges in our state work. Among^
those who participated were Rev. Carl H. Kopf, who told of his
work as a pastor in a city of many colleges and soldier groups.
1942] Minutes 27
Rev. William B. Easton, Jr., Director of Religious Education
in the State College at Amherst, told of his work and urged con-
tinued cooperation of the churches. Others who participated
were Rev. Messrs. Robert M. Bartlett, Longmeadow and John
H. Leamon of Cambridge. Upon motion of Mr. Bartlett, it was
VOTED: That the Trustees be asked to give favorable consideration to a plea
that more naoney be found for this student work.
At 3:00 o'clock Rev. James E. Walter, Associate Secretary of
the Missions Council, gave an informing address on the religious
issues in present-day national and world affairs.
Rev. Hugh Penney of Lowell then spoke on the work he has
been doing, under the auspices of the Massachusetts Council of
Churches, in cooperating with chaplains of the Fort Devens area
in their religious programs.
Rev. Frank Jennings, Executive Secretary of the Massachu-
setts Council of Churches, spoke on the cooperative work of the
thirteen denominations associated in the Council in three fields,
as follows: (1) Institutional Ministries; (2) Church, Industry
and Labor; (3) Preparation for the Coming Peace.
Rev. Daniel W. Staff eld. Director of Weekday Church Schools
for the Massachusetts Council of Churches, discussed the initia-
tory steps now being taken to launch in Massachusetts weekday
religious instruction. He insisted that this must not be under-
taken until adequate preparation has been made. In two fields
in this state this fall, in Boston and Haverhill, work will begin.
The Special Interest Group on Pastoral Placement recom-
mended that the Conference at this session appoint a committee
of four laymen and four ministers to study a plan of exchange of
pastorates or any other adequate plan for improving conditions
in regard to pastoral placement in Massachusetts, in consultation
with the President of the State Conference and the Secretary of
the Board of Pastoral Supply.
The Business Committee recommended the adoption of this
plan and it was so voted. The nominations for this committee
were referred to the Nominating Committee of this Conference.
Prof. Alfred C. Lane, acting for the Special Interest Group on
Moral and Social Welfare, presented the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED: That we recommend to the Conference that it pass a resolution,
commending to the authorities of the government that in moving all citizens or
non-citizens, all Christian courtesy be used and that in their treatment we give
an example of how we should wish Americans in enemy hands to be treated.
28 Minutes [1942
It was further recommended that a copy of this resolution be
sent to the administration at Washington.
Rev. C. W. Keirstead and Rev. William E. Gilroy, acting for
the Committee on Moral and Social Welfare, presented the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS discrimination against individuals because of race or color is not
only contrary to all ideals of democracy and Christian brotherhood, but is also,
so far as American citizenship is concerned, a denial of constitutional rights and
WHEREAS the false notion of white supremacy and the effort to maintain it
by unfair, undemocratic and illegal means is manifestly a menace to the cause of
democracy in the present world conflict and a threat of future conflict and peril,
we urge, as a matter of justice as well as for contributory reasons, that everything
practicable should be done by our national authorities in civil, army and naval
affairs to end such discrimination and to accord to all citizens, regardless of race or
color, the full rights and privileges to which they are entitled. It is a preposterous
situation that calls upon any class of citizens to make equal sacrifices and accept
equal dangers without according equal rights and privileges. Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED: That a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of
the United States and to the Secretaries of the War and Navy Departments.
Following this session there were three simultaneous supper
meetings: one for the women; one for the laymen and ministers,
and one for the young people.
At the women's meeting, which took place in the Second
Church, there was a reception followed by a business meeting,
with Mrs. Myron H. Clark presiding. Officers and committees
were elected, as recorded on pages 16 and 17 of these Minutes and
Reports, and special messages were brought by Mrs. Franklin G.
Field and Mrs. William H. Medlicott. The Women's Second
Mile Gift was dedicated at this meeting. Then followed a buffet
supper, at which there were about 300 women.

Federal Council, was present and spoke on, "The Kingdom of God
and the Churches." About 260 men sat down to the supper.
Under the leadership of Rev. James W. Lenhart, now serving
the Conference as ad interim Secretary of Religious Education,
the young people held their annual meeting of the Pilgrim Fellow-
ship, at the Unitarian Church in West Newton. Two hundred

paign.

ing regional secretaries was referred by the Moderator to the

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
Today the Church is more important to the welfare of the world than at any other
time in the last 100 years — perhaps for the last 300 years. Historians, philosophers,
sociologists, theologians, and some scientists, are interpreting the great world events
of our age in terms of the same goal that the Church has been preaching ever since
its birth in the mind of Jesus.
Here is a Professor of History at Smith College, Prof. Hans Kohn, a Czecho-
slovakian Jew, dedicating his latest book, just off the Harvard University Press,
"To those
Who Strove and Fought
For the Dignity of the Hum.an Being
For the Oneness of the Human Kind."
To this twofold goal of Democracy, Christian faith adds foundations \n the
vision of all mankind as children of God the Father, and all these children as one
family in Christ.
Once again. Professor Sorokin, a very scholarly and learned Harvard professor.
Chairman of the Department of Sociology, a Russian, at one time Secretary to
Prime Minister Kerensky, in his latest book does a little Christian preaching, in
these words: "There must be a change of the whole mentality and attitudes in the
direction of the . . . Sermon on the Mount . . . Without this change, no mechan-
ical, politico-economic reconstruction can give the desired results."
Once again : One day this winter I heard Mr. Douglass Miller, who spent fifteen
years in the business life of Germany as charge d'affaires at the United States
Embassy in Berlin, six of them under the Nazi regime — I heard Mr. Miller say
that a group of men in New York City, composed of Protestants, Roman Catholics
and liberal Jews, were broadcasting every week, on short wave, especially for
Germany, Jesus Christ. They did not mention the names of the Prime Minister
of Great Britain, the President of the United States, the Leader of the Nazi govern-
ment. Only one person's name was mentioned, the name of Jesus Christ, and these
broadcasts told about Jesus, what He did, what He taught about God and men, and
what a civilization built on Him would mean for the world, including Germany.
To me, it is very significant that from these various sources our faith in Christ
as the world's Saviour, is being confirmed in this realistic manner. It is true in a
wonderful way that Jesus Christ is the only hope for the world of tomorrow. Today
we are learning the reality of sin, and the deep meaning of the cross as the symbol
of ultimate victory. And the church as the custodian of the Gospel of Christ has
the most precious treasure in all the world. And the wise church will preserve a sane
balance between its Christian social service on the one hand, and its supernatural
life that is hid with God in Christ, on the other hand.
I think you can see why the church is more important to the welfare of the world
today than at any other time in the last century or perhaps in the last four centuries,
since the Lutheran Reformation.
One of our younger ministers, a radical Christian, in the dictionary sense of
"radical" as "proceeding directly from the root ", wrote me about a month ago:
"Personally I am more and more turning away from all intellectualism and theology,
toward a new understanding and ability to practice Christian love. This is far more
difficult for me than thinking or preaching."
34
1942] Report of the Secretary 35
The minister of one of our German churches, a loyal American, and devoted
Christian, wrote me a few weeks ago: "Thank you for your letter and the kindness
shown in it. It feels good in this time of hate in the world to have friends who
remain the same always."
Having emphasized the importance of spiritual values in church work let us
consider for a while more mundane mattcTs. I wish our Year Book of Minutes and
Reports might be used more in our churches. If I were a pastor of a church, I think
I should preach at least one sermon on it each year. I know of one minister who
does just this thing in his own church. I think the President's Report and perhaps
the Secretary's, and all other reports might well be used this way, thus bringing to
the people of this Commonwealth the vital matters pertaining to the churches of
our Conference. A series of church quizzes might well be prepared such as:
What minister holds the record of having the longest pastorate in the Conference?
What chiu-ch has the largest membership and how large is it?
What church has the smallest membership?
What church had the largest number of new members in 1941?
How many churches added no new membei's in 1941?
What church made the largest contribution to our world-wide missionary work in
1941?
What church made the largest per capita contribution?
How much did our own church give to the total missionary work; how much to
the Massachusetts Conference?
I wish our thoughtful young people would do a little research work and answer
this question: "Why has the membership in our Church Schools dropped 2597, and
in our young people's organizations dropped 2721, this last calendar year? What do
the latest census figures tell us about the decreased number of young people in the
public schools as compared with ten years ago? I wish our Year Book would list
with a star the churches that maintain for at least the major part of the year a mid-
weekly meeting for prayer, or testimony, or discussion, or study, or fellowship.
I think the dropping of a midweek meeting of one or several kinds is a much more
serious sympton of church life than the smallness of its congregations. There may
be a causal connection between them. Let us reassert the challenge that was flung
out at the ecumenical conference at Oxford, England, in 1937, in these thrilling
words, "Let the Church be the Church." A mere social club will never bring in the
Kingdom of God. A Rotary Club or a Chamber of Commerce, valuable in the
realm of business will never bring sinful man to God nor build Christ into human
hearts. I have read that when that eminent Prince of the Church, Cardinal Mercier,
looked for the first time at the jagged skyline of New York City from the deck of
the steamer, he pointed to the Woolworth Tower and remarked: "That must be
your Cathedral."
In order for the Church to be the Church, it is n.ot necessary that it have such a
glorious edifice as this Second Church in West Newton; but with large membership
or only a chosen few, it is necessary that it have the glorious spirit such as I have
found in the personnel of the ministers and people of this Church, including the
genial janitor.
The record of longest pastorates stands the same as last year as recorded on
36 Report of the Secretary [1942
page 33 of the Minutes and Reports of 194] . All honor to these valiant soldiers of
the cross and to their chiu-ches!
There seem to be 36 a;ctive pastors who were ordained in the last century (up to
and including 1900); and 145 who were ordained in 1931 or since then.
Five thousand three hundred ajid sixty-two persons were received into our
churches on confession of faith, in 1 941, as compared with 5446 in 1940. The church
receiving the largest number on confession was the First Church in Braintree,
which received 80 members. But 140 churches reported no new members on
confession.
One hundred and four churches out of 607 appear not to have paid their allotment
account in 1941 as compared with 110 in 1940. Four of these not paying wpre
among our largest membership chiu-ches.
Sixteen churches failed to send in their reports for this year's Minutes and
Reports.
Our rural churches and communities are still the feeding hills for our larger towns
and cities. In a recent year of the Roosevelt administra;tion, the President, the
Vice President, "seven of the ten Cabinet members were born in towns or villages
or on farms. Of the nine Supreme Court justices fom- or five were born on farms or
in rm-al villages. In the Department of Agriculture, the Secretary, the Under-
secretary, seven of the 19 bureau chiefs and directors were born on Corn Belt farms
or in Corn Belt villages . . . three were born on Southern farms, or in Southern
villages . . . one in a New York village," one each in a Missouri, an Idaho and a
Colorado village. Only two were born in large cities.
Thomas Jefferson, the American father of Democracy, said that he felt our
Democracy was safe and secure so long as our population remained largely agri-
cultm-al. The leadership that Massachusetts farms and villages have furnished con-
firms our conviction that the finest values of Democracy are born and nurtured in
the rural home — the rural chinrch and the rural commimity. We do well and
wisely to keep these springs of our life clean, and sweet and wholesome through the
sacrificial services of our rural ministers and their devoted church workers. The
rural church is, or should be, the social, as well as the religious, center of the com-
munity and it looms relatively larger than any other institution there, or than
many a city church in the city.
Perhaps our finest piece of adventure today stems not from Plymouth Rock, but
from Ellis Island. Two-thirds of the people in this State were either born abroad or
else their parents were born abroad. 187,000 Poles — 150,000 Russians — 322,000
Italians. They have friends and relatives in Europe, but they live peaceably in
Massachusetts.
In this critical period of world history it is so important that we play the good
neighbor, the Christian friend, to the Germans, the Italians, the French, Nor-
wegians, Portuguese, Swedes, Finns, Greeks, the Poles, Armenians, Chinese,
Albanians, and show them the immense superiority of Christian practice to the
spirit of Nazism and Fascism. They have much to give to us in music, in art,
in science, in philosophy, theology, religion. And one reason they fight as they do
in Europe is that there the groups are segregated into nations, behind national
boundary lines. In Massachusetts there is no Armenian, no Italian, no German
city, but we are all "mixed up" so that each city is an American city. Lets banish
forever the policy of segregating any national or racial or religious or social group.
Let us look at Europe and govern ourselves accordingly.

Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, D.D., President,
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts
Sir:
We have audited the accounts of the Treasurer of the Massachusetts Congrega-
tional Conference and Missionary Society and of the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference and Missionary Society, Trustee, for the year ended March 31, 1942,
and we report that income receivable from invested funds and all other income as
shown by the books of the Society have been accounted for; that we have seen paid
checks or other evidence of payment for all disbursements; that we have verified
the possession of the securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1942;
that the cash in banks and office at March 31, 1942, has been verified, and that, in
our opinion, the accompanying financial statements correctly exhibit the condition
of the Funds in the hands of the Society as at the close of business March 31, 1942,
and the Treasurer's transactions during the year ended at that date.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
CHURCHES AND COLLEGES
This committee conducted a registration of students from our Massachusetts
churches who are attending colleges in our state. This matter was presented at
the fall meetings of most of our associations. Registration cards were forwarded
to ministers near these colleges, and we trust many contacts have now been estab-
lished between our college community ministers and our young people.
The committee is actively interested in the student work at State College,
Amherst, and the fine job being done there by William Easton. We are glad that
our conference contributes to this project. We are also able this next year to ex-
tend a small subsidy to the First Church student worker who will be actively en-
gaged in work among students at Amherst College.
We have continued our study of need in the state and are firmly convinced that
something ought to be done at once to serve the Congregational students in Greater
Boston. We have some 8,000 Congregational students in colleges in and about
Boston, the largest Congregational student center in the country. Some of our
churches are doing commendable work, but we feel that we should have a full-time
student pastor for Greater Boston student work. Practically all major denomina-
tions have at least one full-time man engaged in this field; some have a number.
We hope that our conference may be able to secure funds to launch this program.
This man would aid churches that serve college students, organize student groups
in these churches, provide leadership, and be a pastor to as many as possible of
our neglected Congregational young people in this tremendous parish. We are
bringing this appeal before the Home Boards as well as before the General Com-
mittee of our Conference and the Budget Committee. We need to wake up and
get going!
We thank the following for cooperating with us in our committee conferences:
Wilmer Kitchen, Henry Gray, William Frazier, Ealph Timberlake.
Three members of our committee attended the Chicago Conference on Congre-
gational Colleges called by the Home Boards and the General Council in April.
We plan a Church and College Interest Group at our State Conference and a Panel
Discussion on Congregationalism and Massachusetts Colleges conducted by mem-
bers of our committee. W'e were represented at a number of the A^lsociation meet-
ings held this spring.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
EVANGELISM AND DEVOTIONAL LIFE
Your Committee has held a number of meetings which have been devoted to
the making of plans for the coming year, ^^'e are happy to announce that the
next Ministers' Convocation will be held at Andover-Newton Theological School
September 14th, 15th, and 16th. We feel that we are exceedingly fortunate in
being able to secure the leadership of Dr. Walter E. Woodbury, secretary of Evan-
gelism of the Northern Baptist Convention, and Dr. George A. Buttrick, minister
of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. It is expected
that these speakers will each give a series of three addresses. Dr. Woodbury will
probably deal with personal evangelism and preaching for decision. We have
suggested to Dr. Buttrick that he speak on the subject of prayer.
Your committee wishes to stress the vital importance of family visitation as a
part of the permanent program of the church. In this connection we recommend
the pamphlet on "The Method of Visitation Evangelism and Suggestions for
Messengers", by Eev. Leon E. Grubaugh. Mr. Grubaugh writes from a knowl-
edge born of many years of fruitful experience in this field. Copies of this pamphlet
may be obtained at our state office.
We urge that all the churches of our Massachusetts fellowship observe the World
Communion Service Sunday, October 4th. This observance is sponsored by the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. In these days when there is
so much of hatred and disunity abroad in the world, it is imperative that Christians
everywhere should maintain an unbroken fellowship. Nothing expresses this
fellowship more convincingly than the World Communion Service.
Your Committee wishes to recommend that wherever it is possible that preach-
ing missions be held in our churches this coming fall. You will be happy to learn
that Dr. James R. Clinton will be in the state during the fall months to assist our
churches in carrying out such preaching missions. We recommend to the ministers
of our churches that they procure from President Ealph M. Timberlake copies
of the pamphlet entitled "The Preaching Mission" which has been prepared by
the Preaching Mission Committee of the Massachusetts Congregational Confer-
ence. We believe our ministers will find this pamphlet very suggestive and help-
ful as they plan preaching missions for their churches.

REPORT OF THE LAYMEN'S COMMITTEE
Continuing its cooperation with the Laymen's Committees of the Associations
and other similar organizations in individual churches, we have endeavored to
stimulate laymen in their efforts to help the churches more effectively to meet their
problems. The plan for accomplishing this has included the following methods:
1 . To enlist more laymen who will participate in the programs of the churches.
2. To inform laymen concerning the problems of the chiu-ches and to make
more real the methods by which problems may be tackled and solved.
3. To challenge laymen to "examine the genuineness of their personal loyalty
to Jesus Christ and its implications for daily living and fruitful service."
To implement its stimulation of laymen's activities, a Week-End Conference
for laymen was held at Andover Newton Theological School, September 12-13,
1941, under the auspices of our committee. Seventy-two laymen were present.
The program included:
1. Discussion: "Financing the Church."
Leader — • Rev. William F, English, Norwood
2. Quiet Hour and Devotions.
Leader — Rev. Edgar H. S. Chandler
3. Discussion: "A Program for Lay Evangehsm."
Leader — Rev. Leon E. Grubaugh, Adams.
4. Discussion: "Week-Day Religious Education."
Leader — Rev. Erwin L. Shaver
5. Address: "Congregationali^, Its Opportunities and Dangers."
— Principal Nathaniel Micklem,
Mansfield College, Oxford, England
The Report of the Findings Committee appointed at this Conference is as follows:
"We find that our laymen are realizing more and more their respon-
sibility for the efficient conduct of the work of the churches, and are assum-
ing that responsibility with increasing thoroughness.
"We find that as laymen we humbly need both education in church
hislory, polity and methods, and the inspiration that accrues from con-
ferences and retreats of this kind.
"We find that discussion of such topics as 'Financing the Church', 'Lay
A'isitation and Evangelism', and 'Week-Day Religious Education' in our
current program has proved and demonstrated the educational and in-
spirational value of deliberate consideration of church problems under
able leadership. Therefore we recommend that further conferences of
this nature be arranged by this committee and the laymen's committees
of the local Associations of churches.
"We find that visitation in the homes of the parish for purposes of lay
evangelism and of acquainting parishioners with the work and needs of
the church is an essential of wholesome and efficient church life and
growth, and we recommend that laymen interest themselves in sys-
tematic parish visitation along the lines of preparation and for the pur-
poses which havve been emphasized in this Conference.
"We also recommend that laymen carefully study the opportunities pre-
sented by the new State law permitting release of children from the public
schools for purposes of religious education in their churches or elsewhere, ■
and support, whenever and wherever possible, this additional method
of strengthening the church program of religious education.
1942] Advance Reports 51
"Underneath and behind the helpful spirit and inspirational atmos-
phere of this gathering, we find a deep current of determination moving
in the hearts and minds of the laymen present, which we believe will lead
to more effective work in the local churches and bring to us as laymen
the glow of reflex action and spiritual exaltation; and we recommend
that our laymen prayerfully again dedicate themselves to the purpose of
making their churches the eflBcient institutions they should be in promot-
ing and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
The suggestions of the Findings Committee were shared as widely as possible
by sending the Report "to Congregational ministers and laymen of Massachusetts."
As a result, this Committee has responded to numerous requests throughout the
state to assist in conferences and discussions, and in supplying leaders for group
meetings of laymen.
To be of further service to laymen who have the desire to be equipped to take
over added responsibilities in their churches, a course of study along the lines of
"church history, polity, methods and the inspiration that accrues" is being ar-
ranged at Andover Newton Theological School during May and June. This
will be a six- weeks' course on Friday evenings. Definite announcements of this
course are under way. Due to the depletion of leadership in some churches and
some areas, caused by ministers' and others' being called into War Service, it is
most important to train laymen who can take over and carry on.
Arrangements have been made for the Supper Meeting for Laymen and Ministers
on the evening of May 19, 1 942, as a part of the Conference program at our annual
meeting at the Second Chiu-ch in West Newton.
Looking toward the meeting of the General Council of Congregational and
Christian Churches at the University of New Hampshire, June 18-25, 1942, the
State Laymen's Committee is cooperating in urging and securing attendance of
laymen at this most significant meeting during this trying year.
We acknowledge with much appreciation the cooperation received from
President Timberlake and members of his stafif in connection with all our plans
and efforts during the year.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS AND
APPORTIONMENT
The Missions and Apportionment Committee has tried to function in accordance
with its name during the past year, stressing a vigorous program of missionary
education and promotion, and linking up Church Finance, the Apportionment and
Stewardship generally, as an interrelated whole.
With one or two exceptions, the committee has met monthly through the year,
appointing its representatives on the three age-group divisions, and seeing that
Association missionary committee chairmen were kept informed on the latest
mission study books, and, where necessary, supplying them with copies.
A general summary of the committee's activities would be to say that it has tried
to keep our Churches and various Association officers "missionary-conscious,"
making them realize the continuing need of undergirding our entire missionary
52 Advance Reports [1942
program, of keeping informed on the latest developments in the work on the field,
and the latest methods of promotion, such as visual education.
In particular, three major projects have been carried out by the committee
during the year. Last fall, in conjunction with the State Laymen's Committee,
church finance seminars were sponsored in all the Associations of the state in
which it was possible to arrange them. More than half the Associations were
served in this way, with the best of leadership from our Boards and state ofiBcials,
and with excellent results in terms of attendance and the reaching of the key people
concerned with Church finance. We trust and believe the results will be seen in
increased giving.
The second project was a seminar on "The Best Use of a Missionary Speaker,"
held on the afternoon of February 17th, in conjunction with the meeting of the
New England Regional Committee, to which the chairmen of all the Association
Missionary Committees in the state were invited. This meeting, which dealt
largely with techniques, was most profitable to all who attended. Copies of the
proceedings were sent to any of the chairmen who had not found it possible to come.
The third project is planned, but is not to be put into effect until the meeting
of the State Conference, at which time a period is to be provided for "Interest
Groups," missionary interests being one of these groups. The committee is care-
fully planning the use of this period so that it will be of the utmost benefit to those
of our churches and Associations who will attend.
The committee is gratified to notice that Apportionment giving in Massachu-
setts is such that Massachusetts' share is about $3,000 over the amount budgeted.
The chairman would express his appreciation for the fine support of all the
members of the committee, especially Mrs. Ekdahl, who has served as secretary,
and Rev. James E. Walter, who as ex officio member from the Missions Council,
has been of great assistance. During the year. Rev. Robert L. Underwood of
Fitchburg, chairman of the New England Regional Committee, was asked to serve
as an ex officio member of the committee, in order to coordinate the efforts of these
two committees, and he kindly accepted.
No reference to the war situation has been made, and none need be made, other
than to say that the world enterprise of the Christian Church will be more needed,
not less, when the present world struggle has ended, and a new order is to be built
on the ashes of the old.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
MORAL AND SOCIAL WELFARE
Our Committee on Moral and Social Welfare held four meetings at 14 Beacon
Street, Boston. In addition a supper meeting was arranged by the Women's De-
partment of the Suffolk Association to which our members were invited and at
which occasion Rev. Dwight J. Bradley was the speaker. This meeting was held
at the Y.W.C.A. in Boston. We were given a stirring challenge and outline by the
Director of our Council for Social Action in terms of what we might do and the
issues before us.
We find ourselves at a point in history when the foundations of our Christian
faith are being tried and tested in the fire of a second world war. This catastrophe
has taken on the proportions of total tvar for the vast majority of the nations and
the peoples of the earth. We hold to the principle that each individual's conscience
in the sight of God is infinitely significant, and we find ourselves of differing minds
in regard to our Christian attitude to the war. Some believe that, as Christians,
we should do all that we can to back up the war effort of the United Nations in
order to bring about as speedily as possible a complete victory over the forces of
Nazism, Fascism and Japan. They further believe that this war has been forced
upon us and is none of our doing. In consequence, they feel that we have the
necessity before us of taking appropriate actionor else being willing to accept any
program which may be imposed upon us by the godless people who would do the
imposing. There is another group within our committee which believes that war
in itself is unchristian, and that to engage in such an effort will be defeating the
very things at the start that we say we are fighting for. This latter group
could not, as Christians, either bless, sanction or support the war. It is their
conviction that Je^s Christ came on earth to live, to preach and to demonstrate
another way, which is the way of dynamic, self-sacrificing love, and that such a way
leads men to a cross. They conceive that the military machine geared to a war-
tempo with the forces of propaganda and mass opinion behind it is antithetical to
the way which our Master took and the way which he expects us to take. However,
both groups are united in their fellowship in Christ which binds them each to each
in the high task of discipleship. They recognize that there are certain constructive
things that can be done by each group to help in the emergency: such as aiding
young men in the Army and Navy by writing to them, enlisting our churches to
write to them and to send them New Testaments, articles of clothing and food;
further still, to organize recreation and socials for them in the towns near
the Army camps. It was also stated that we should, in the same fashion, help
those young men who have been assigned to Civilian Public Service Camps for the
duration of the war, and who are there for reasons relating to their conscientious
objections to war. In contacting them, our church people can learn more about
the work of the American Friends Service Committee whose definite program of
peace action holds the respect of countle^ persons and groups in every nation of
the world.
We recognize at this time the great need for the organizing in our churches of
study groups to consider the task of world order and organization. We would
recommend to all of our churches the materials prepared for us by the Commission
for the Study of World Order, of which Professor Robert L. Calhoun is Chairman,
which include a study packet and also copies of the November 15th issue of Social
Action entitled "The Struggle for World Order" by Vera M. Dean. These ma-
terials can be secured from the Council for Social Action, 289 Fourth Avenue, New
York, N. Y.
54 Advance Reports [ 1942
We would also recommend to the churches the use of the outline on Schools for
Democracy, also prepared by the Council for Social Action. It may act as a pro-
posed plan for the setting up of such schools in certain areas, adapting the plan to
the needs of each community in which it is tried.
In regard to the matter of week-day Religious Education, it was recommended
strongly by one of our members that we look into the Australian Plan, as it has
many benefits. The matter of securing the best possible teachers, of paying them
a salary, and seeing to it that the whole experience for the children involved will be
as beneficial as could be made came before our committee. It was stated that
certain test places may probably be chosen by the Massachusetts Council of
Churches where the plan of week-day Religious Education might be tried on an
experimental basis, in order that everyone including other communities might
learn from the experience.
It was voted that our Committee give its unanimous approval to the State Con-
ference of the plan of Parish Visitation in our church parishes. Several outstanding
results were cited to warrant the success of this plan. It was further voted that
ample preparation should be made in advance with the president of each group
within the church cooperating.
It was voted that our committee send a request to the State Conference Program
Committee to have some portion of its program for the annual spring meeting
devoted to a consideration of "Peace Aims."
A notice was received by our committee in the form of a strong protest against
the liquor traffic and also another against the gambling in our state.
It was brought out that our responsibility as Christians not only lies in the field
of organized labor, where the task of evangelism and of social adjustment needs so
desperately to be carried out, but also in the rural sections of our country as well.
Certain significant developments in that field were reported on, among them being
the work of the Rural Life Committee of our Council for Social Action, the de-
velopment by Prof. Arthur E. Holt of Merom Institute at Merom, Indiana, as the
Rural Laboratory of our Congregational Christian churches, the expansion of the
"Friends of the Soil Movement", and the Ceremony of the Soil by Howard and
Alice Kester, which will be presented at our State Conference meeting by ministers
of the Pelham Rural Fellowship. It was pointed out that the need for rural re-
construction is of a vital concern to our nation during this present war emergency.
Our committee wishes to extend its sincere word of thanks to the Reverend
Alfred V. Bliss for his generous help to us, and also to the Reverend George A.
Tuttle.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
POLITY AND STANDARDS FOR THE MINISTRY
The new standing Committee on Polity and Standards for the Ministry has held
four meetings during the Conference year, continuing the efforts of the former
special committee to bring about a greater degree of uniformity relative to min-
isterial standards throughout the state. We offer, for approval, statements per-
taining to: "I. Licensure Standards and Procedure" and "II. Ordination Stand-
ards and Procedure." Though Mr. Harold S. Davis of our committee has pre-
pared a thorough legal statement pertaining to installation, recognition, etc., it
1942] Advance Reports 55
seems wise to withhold any publication of these findings until after the General
Council's action on similar matters at the June meeting.
For the benefit of Association officers, the Committee on Polity has prepared
questionnaire forns for candidates for (1) initial licensure, (2) license renewal, and
(3) ordination. These may be procured from the Conference office.
Following are our recommendations pertaining to licensure and drdination :
/. Licensure Standards and Procedure
A. Purpose
Licensure gives the privilege of preaching wherever invited and of fulfilling the
functions of a Christian Minister in church work and public worship, except con-
ducting funeral services and performing the rites of Baptism and the Lord's Supper
(which, however, may be authorized by special vote of the particular Church,
with the approval of the Association), and except performing the Marriage Cere-
mony, when strict conformity to the Law of the State must be observed.
B. Requirements
1. Resident active membership in a Congregational-Christian Church for at
least one year previous to application.
2. Appearance before Association Committee on Credentials, for examination,
a. Actual experience in Christian service, and recommendation from the
pastor or officers of his home church.
b. Satisfactory knowledge^ of Congregational history and polity. (See:
Fifegley's "Congregational Churches" and Burton's "Manual," pp. 1-72.)
c. Written sermon, which candidate may be asked to preach.
d. Adaptability for Congregational-Christian leadership, as judged by the
Committee's inquiry and observation.
e. Evidence of having met standard requirements, namely: graduation from
a college of recognized standing, and the completion of one year in a
theological seminary of recognized standing.
f. Written statements on: call to the Christian ministry. Christian experi-
ence and beliefs, reason for seeking licensure, and reason for seeking
licensure in a Congregational Church.
g. An expressed purpose to proceed later with ordination.
C. Procedure
1. After thorough examination of the candidate, the Committee on Credentials
stall refer the applicant to the Association, which has power to acqept or reject
the applicant.
2. Each licentiate should have an adviser, who shall confer with the licentiate at
least once a year.
3. Ordinarily, the license should be issued for one year only; and it should be
renewed annually, upon application and appearance before the Association
Committee on Credentials for consultation and examination.
4. In the case of application for license renewal on the part of a candidate coming
from outside the State, the candidate should meet the requirements of the
Massachusetts Conference.
56 Advance Reports [1942
5. The license — and especially the renewal of the license — ■ should be sought
within the bounds of the Association where the licentiate is carrying on his
work.
6. A service of consecration should be held at the time of the initial licensure.
(See: Burton's "Manual," p. 182, for suggestion.)
7. Application forms for initial licensure and for license renewal examinations
may be obtained from Association scribes or from the State Conference office.
II. Ordination Standards and Procedure
A. Purpose
Ordination is the recognition by the Church of God's calling of a man or a
woman to the ministry. As such it is an acknowledgment both of the individual's
unique relation to God's purpose and of his ability to carry out that purpose.
B. Requirements
1. Candidate should have had a license to preach (complying with standards of
the Massachusetts Conference) for at least one year. (See: Section I, Par. B, 1.)
2. Standard scholastic requirements should be: (1) graduation from a college of
recognized standing, and (2) graduation from a theological seminary of
recognized standing.
C. Procedure
1. Candidate should confer with the Committee on Credentials of the Associa-
tion, by application to the Scribe. This committee should examine the
candidate with reference to the above specific requirements and also to the
more general requirements, such as: a call to preach, commendation from his
home church, adaptability for Congregational-Christian leadership, etc.
The Committee on Credentials should confer with the State Conference
Committee on Polity in all borderline cases.
2. Following such conference, and with the approval of the candidate on the
part of the Committee on Credentials, the Church may request the Asso-
ciation to cooperate in the sending of the letter missive for an ordination
council.
3. An interval of two weeks or more should elapse between the examination for
ordination and the public service of ordination.
4. Application forms for ordination examination may be obtained from Associa-
tion scribes or from the State Conference office.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Id the absence of a paid secretary, the Beligious Education Committee has been
seriously handicapped in its work this past year. Without a paid secretary, it has
been impossible to give adequate help to the many urgent needs within our churches.
The committee members have all assumed heavier responsibilities and have tried
to hold things together as best they could until the appointment of a paid secretary.
The bulk of the routine and office work, formerly carried on by a part-time secre-
tary, has been carried on, in addition to her other duties, by Mrs. Ekdahl of the
Department of "Woman's Work, and voluntarily and without remuneration by the
chairman of this committee. These matters, which have included much corre-
spondence and many speaking engagements, have consumed such a great amount
of time that there has unfortunately not been opportunity to give much of the
needed leadership to the pressing demands of such matters as the church school,
the promotion of Association work in the Pilgrim Fellowship, college work, and the
like.
Bequests were made to the Associations through the scribes for an opportunity
for some member of the State Committee to acquaint the Associations with state
religious education plans. This met with a favorable response from several Asso-
ciations. Arranging for the summer Pilgrim Conferences was delegated to a sub-
committee on Summer Conferences, consisting of Feverend Fred D. Bennett,
Peverend Bobert Dutton, Miss Evelyn Scott, and Beverend Paul S. McElroy as
Chairman. Upon the recommendation of Dean Bay Gibbons, it was voted to dis-
continue the Pilgrim Council Conference of Wilbraham. It was also voted to hold
three Pilgrim Conferences again this year with the Beverend Pierson Harris serving
as the Dean at Wilbraham Academy, the Beverend William B. Usher serving as
the Dean at Dean Academy, and the Beverend Edward Cowles serving as the Dean
at Williston Academy.
Upon recommendation of this committee a meeting of Association Pilgrim
Fellowship officers and presidents of local church young people's societies of Greater
Boston was held and considered to be a successful venture making for increased
Pilgrim Fellowship consciousness.
It is the hope of the committee that some permanent arrangement for state
leadership in our Beligious Education program will be made in the very near future.
Paul S. McElroy, Chairman
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
OF WOMAN'S WORK
Each year of service as Executive Secretary of the Department of Woman's
Work brings new developments and added responsibilities which crowd the days
and weeks, but in turn offer great personal satisfaction.
Packets which are sent to presidents of local women's organizations each spring
and fall, as introduced during the last two years, not only provide our leaders with
material but inform them of what else is available. This procedure has shown that
if resources are known they will be used, judging by the many requests and letters
•which come to my office.
The department of the Pilgrim State News entitled "Massachusetts Women" is
58 Advance Reports [1942
planned from my desk to carry practical help and inspiration to church women as^
individuals as well as members of women's organizations. Frequent letters of
comment testify to its value. My work of editing also includes issues of the Educa-
tion Bulletin and the Caravan, sent out by the Education and Children's Work
Committees respectively.
My field work is automatically limited by the numerous committees which I
attend as ex officio member and conferences of district workers for which I help
plan and set up programs. It appears that I am able to go into only about sixty
local churches a year where 1 am personally asked for. This means, however, de-
clining many invitations not only for the reason mentioned, but because of con-
flict of organization meeting days.
The local organizations ask for help with reorganizing, with budget makings
especially in changing from money-raising events to pledging, and for address or
discussion-leading on topics concerned with missions, the church woman, the
Christian home, and personal religion. Besides women's organizations, I am in-
vited to parents' clubs and church school workers' groups for talks on psychology
and mental hygiene; I speak also at Lenten meetings, church services, and Mothers'
Day banquets. I have occasional speaking appointments at institutes of other
denominations and at secular meetings.
Last summer I taught the course in Woman's Work at the Northern New England
School of Religious Education, conferences at Pleasant Hill, Tennessee and Olivet,.
Michigan, and a course in World Friendship at Kings Mountain Academy, Northi
Carolina. I also participated in our denominational meetings at the United
Christian Adult Conferences at NorthGeld. Since I therefore had no summer
vacation, my holidays this year consisted of two weeks around Christmas when I
visited several fields of our Negro and Spanish speaking work in the South.
This year I have been a member of the Education Committees of the Northern
New England School of Religious Education and the Religious Education Confer-
ence at Northfield as well as the Planning Committee of the International Rela-
tions Institute to be held at Wellesley College.
In the fall I was asked by the trustees of the conference to care for the office
work formerly done by the Reverend Porter Bower, when part-time secretary of
Religious Education, until his successor is appointed. This period has extended
until the present writing. This has involved considerable correspondence, con-
sultations and occasional Saturday afternoons with young people's groups. I was
most fortunate in that the Reverend Paul S. McElroy continued as Pilgrim Fel-
lowship Advisor and also served as Chairman of the Religious Education Com-
mittee, giving unsparingly of his time.
Other general conference duties have been ex officio membership on the Re-
ligious Education and the Missions and Apportionment Committees, the Adult,
Youth and Children's Divisions, and supervision of the Speakers' Bureau. Mrs.
Paul Bogosian is office secretary of the bureau and devotes most of her time to it.
It is almost impossible to measure the service of this bureau. The eight hundred
and more appointments, and the vast amount of correspondence involved there-
with on our books, give only a part of the story. The past year we sent, for the
first time, letters and request blanks with a partial list of speakers to every minister
and woman's organization president, while another list later went to every local
church Friendly Service Chairman. This gave opportunity for direct approach
from the churches to the speakers. There is no way to know definitely to what
extent these lists are used, but frequent word comes to convince us that this service
is decidedly worth while. At a Seminar for Association Missionary Committee
chairmen, the Missions and Apportionment Committee cooperated with the New
1942] Advance Reports 59
England Eegional Committee in discussing the use of missionary speakers at which
it was my privilege to present the procedures, problems and hopes of the Speakers'
Bureau. The bureau is eager to assist missionary chairmen in setting up itineraries
of speakers or teams of speakers within their associations.
Although there have been moments of discouragement, it is our conviction that
our women are maintaining their responsibilities toward the church and its out-
reach despite the added claims upon time and money in the line of defense. One
evidence of this is that fifty-five of our women's organizations sent boxes of clothing
and supplies or money gifts into sixty-seven home missionary pastors' families this
year. Providing these parsonage box applications is another service of our office.
We continually bear to our women the thought that no one but church folk will
support the church and that more, rather than less, church work must be done so
that this world of ours may turn its course away from spiritual chaos toward the
coming of the Kingdom.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WOMAN'S WORK
Three years ago, the Congregational women of Massachusetts set before them-
selves the ideals of realizing more fully the obligations of stewardship, the deepen-
ing of the spiritual life, and of bringing the Department of Woman's Work together
into a "Conference Consciousness" which would spread till it should reach to the
farthest corners of the state. But they could little foresee that before many months
a world calamity would make any effort toward these ideals doubly important.
As this year comes to its close perhaps the quality which marks the Woman's Work
most strongly is its unity — the feeling of responsibility to the State Conference,
to the work of the denominational Boards and to the World Church. They caught
this vision at the great Atlantic City Conference, where, through their representa-
tives, ten million women now are united under one organization.
The usual four executive committee meetings have been held; the first, the
Retreat at Adelynrood in June, gives a seriousness, a feeling of great responsibilitj'^;
and, in addition to the dedication of the work, there is that which the influence of
the place itself always brings — a rededication of our very lives.
The April meeting is always important in its review of the year just passed and
its anticipation of the new one to come. This time the spring meeting was a
specially happy one as Barnstable's chairman, Mrs. Chandler, reported that the
Women's and Missionary Committee of the Barnstable Association this year be-
comes an integral part of the Department of Woman's Work. For the past year
a small committee, representing the missionary interest, has carried on the initia-
tion of their new set-up and program. The Women's and Missionary Committee
will continue to work under, and be responsible to, the Barnstable Association but
is organized in a manner similar to that of the State: Chairman, Vice-Chairman —
acting also as Second Mile representative — • secretary, treasurer and members
representing the interests of Education, Social Action, Children's Work and
Friendly Service. The spiritual basis of the Second Mile is being stressed that it
may be fully understood and emphasized before numbers are urged.
On February 20th several groups at different parts of the Cape, sponsored on a
community and interdenominational basis, services for the World Day of Prayer.
Fifty were present at the service at Wellfleet .and they were equally well attended
in other communities.

The fine work being done by the women's groups on Cape Cod is already making
itself felt in other parts of the state.
AVelcome to you, Women's and Missionary Committee of Barnstable Associa-
tion! We hope that we may be as much of an inspiration to you as you are to us.
Fine work is being done in each District toward a much stronger Social Action
program, — Andover, Berkshire, Hampden and Pilgrim having reported that in-
creased interest has resulted in real action. Hampden's two meetings with dif-
ferent race groups present where modes of living and housing problems were dis-
cussed, record real progress.
Many local groups have taken care that no needy ones should go unassisted in
their communities. In November a Workshop for Social Action was held in Boston
where practical help and inspiration were given by Dr. Dwight Bradley.
It was with real regret that the resignation of Mrs. Harold Hannum was received.
As Chairman of the Children's WWk Committee she worked with initiative and
enthusiasm. Our best wishes go with Mr. and Mrs. Hannum into their new work
in Vermont. Mrs. G. Wilmer Hathorn, of North Andover, has carried on untir-
ingly and the report of an increase of seventeen churches giving for Christmas Box
work at Christmas and the new gift for a nursery for Grant's Hospital is very en-
couraging.
The Education Committee, Miss Louise Fay and Mrs. Paul McElroy chairmen,
have completed the usual arduous work on the Beading List and have issued the
Bulletin. On April 10th an all day conference was held at Mt. Vernon Church, the
Education and Social Action Committees cooperating. Dr. Hugh Vernon White
and Mrs. Whiting assisted in the program.
There has been an increased interest in the Friendly Service work under the
chairmanship of Miss Amelia Burrill. Many churches have reported this year
which hitherto have done little or nothing. A conference of Friendly Service
Chairmen was held in the autumn and nine Districts were represented. The
advantage of exhibits has been strongly emphasized in all Districts.
The Pilgrim Hall meetings, planned by Mrs. Allbright and her committee have
been very well attended, and we wish to express sincere appreciation to our guest
speakers for bringing real help from their deep experience. To those who have led
in the devotional thought and have brought lovely messages in song we also wish
to express our gratitude. The ushers have done their work faithfully and well.
The Woman's Second Mile Missionary Gift, started last year, has now become
a part of the National Woman's Gift effort. It is expected that this concerted
effort will result in an immediate and decided lift in the giving of our churches.
Although definite amounts have been pledged to the American Board, the Home
Board and the State Conference for our three definite projects, we have set no
money goal. We ask that every woman share in the gift in a spirit of sacrifice and
thanksgiving as an American and in loving thought for the women in other countries
who have given their all. Whatever the amount received will be divided equally
among the three projects.
Members of the Executive Committee attended the Ignited Christian Adult
Conference at Northfield in July. In addition the Chairman attended the Mis-
sionary Conference, the General Conference, the Conference at Star Island and
the mid-winter sessions of the Missions Council at Evanston. The chairman of
the Social Action Committee and of the Children's Work Committee were members
of the Southern Study Tour.
The Chairman has m_et with leaders' groups in Andover, Barnstable, Essex
South, Franklin, Hampshire, Middlesex L'nion, Middlesex -Men don and Woburn

and had the privilege of participating in the Community Day of Prayer Service
at Lawrence.
The Chairman feels deeply the cooperation which has been given in such a
friendly way throughout the state and is grateful to each District President for
their help and judgment which have created a strong, unified department. To
Mrs. Ekdahl and the chairmen of the standing committees, closely identified with
the work each step of the way, to Mrs. Field, who has cheerfully carried so much
of the load, "Thank you," seems quite inadequate.
To the fine women who laid the foundation of the Department of Woman's Work
the entire state is grateful. It is due to their judgment, foresight and to their
prayers that the work of each year is made possible.

(Mrs. Myron H.)
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MINISTERIAL AID
For the Year 1941
The Board of Ministerial Aid has conducted its work for the year with the utmost
care. Every attention possible has been given to the welfare of those receiving
aid either through the regular grants or appropriations from the Emergency Fund.
Regular meetings have been held and all actions have been approved by the entire
Executive Committee.
The development of old age assistance provisions in the several states of the
union has been an object of careful study. We have endeavored in tactful fashion
to acquaint the recipients of grants with the fact that in some states it is possible
to increase the amount of annual income by transferring their requests from our
Board to the State Department charged with the responsibility for old age assist-
ance. It is too early to know yet what the reaction is. The Board, however, Con-
sidered it important to give information in the matter.
During the calendar year grants have been paid as follows:
Regular grants to 37 ministers $5,899
42 widows 6,298
2 single women 300
1 orphan 120
$12,617
Emergency grants to 14 ministers 1,200
14 widows 660

REPORT OF THE CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OF
PASTORAL SUPPLY
This Board consists of twenty-one members, nine from Massachusetts, five from
Connecticut, two each from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and one from
Rhode Island. These members are elected by their respective state conferences.
As usual two meetings of the Board have been held during the year, the annual
meeting in June with an attendance of nineteen, and the semi-annual meeting in
December with an attendance of eighteen.
At the June meeting reports from the Committee which had been appointed to
elicit public opinion with regard to the future of the Board showed opinion to be
definitely divided. It appeared that a considerable group felt that the work of the
Board as now conducted ought to a large degree to be given over to the state con-
ference offices, while another considerable group believed that the Board should
go on substantially as now. In view of this division the Board decided to propose
a year of experimentation, no successor to the present Secretary to be appointed
on his retirement March 31, 19J^2, but the office to be kept open in charge of the
present woman office secretary for the purpose of keeping records and giving out
information.
This proposal was sent to the executive boards of the several state conferences
and was also considered at a meeting of the superintendents of the New England
and certain other eastern state conferences. Here again opinion was divided.
The superintendents submitted a proposal to ask the present Secretary to con-
tinue until October 1, 1942, with the further thought that the Board should go on
as at present, with perhaps the addition of the New York, Pennsylvania, Middle
Atlantic and Ohio Conferences, and the office moved to New York. The Trustees
of the Massachusetts Conference passed a vote in favor of this plan but subse-
quently rescinded it in favor of a strong resolution for keeping the office in Boston.
The Connecticut State Conference voted in favor of the year of experimentation.
Maine, Vermont, and Rhode Island, favored the plan suggested by the superin-
tendents. New Hampshire had not taken action.
At its December meeting, therefore, the Board decided to ask the Secretary to
remain until January 1, 1943, which he reluctantly consented to do.
Meanwhile, the Commission on the Ministry of the General Council, as in-
structed by the 1940 meeting of the Council, had been considering the question of
a "National Bureau of Pastoral Information." This consideration came to a head
in January at a meeting in Evanston, Illinois, of a Committee of Nine, three from
the Commission on the Ministry, three from the Executive Committee of the
General Council, and three from the State Superintendents. This Committee
recommended that in view of war conditions and of the financial situation the
establishing of the proposed National Bureau be at least postponed and that mean-
while our Board and the Mid-West Pastoral Relations Committee, which serve the
churches in matters of supply for more than one state, be asked to establish such a
relation as will enable them to act as a national agency. It was further recom-
mended that this extra service be compensated by appropriations from the General
Council and from the state conferences which are not now supporting these two
agencies. This recommendation has been approved by the Commission on the
Ministry of the General Council, and will go before the Council at its meeting in
Durham, New Hampshire, in June.
Your Board will hold its annual meeting early in June, when thorough considera-
tion will be given to the future of the Board, especially in view of the additional
work which may be asked of it by the General Council.

Death of Treasurer Black
We regret so announce that Mr. Walter H. Black of Jamaica Plain, who had
recently been serving the Board as Treasurer, passed away in June. At the meeting
of the Board in December the following minute was passed:
The Congregational Board of Pastoral Supply, at its first meeting after
the death of its late treasurer, Walter H. Black, wishes to put on record its
full appreciation of the service he rendered this Board from the beginning
of his term in April, 1938, until his death. It is but simple truth to say that
his character was of the highest, that his competence for this oflBce was
entire, and that his interest in and devotion to the work of this Board was
unflagging. We are glad to recall that what he did for us was but a part of
the continuous and varied service he rendered the Kingdom of God during
all the years of his life. Mrs. Black is assured of our deep sympathy in
her great loss.
The New Treasurer
We take pleasure in announcing that Mr. Arthur W. Moffatt of the First Church
in Braintree was elected Treasurer at the December meeting of the Board. He is
connected with the Auditing Department of the United Shoe Machinery Company
and is Treasurer of his church at Braintree.
Theological Seminaries
The figures of graduates of seminaries who were planning to enter the Congre-
gational ministry at Commencement, 1941, were: Andover-Newton, 12; Atlanta,
2; Bangor, 6; Chicago, 15; Hartford, 10; Harvard, 3; Oberlin, 3; Pacific, 0;
Union, 6; Yale, 11. Total, 68. The total for the same seminaries in 1940 was 59.
The 1941 figure compares with an average for the six preceding years of 67^.
This year, as for two years past, the Secretary of the Board served as an ex-
aminer for the seniors of Andover-Newton Theological School.
Other Items
On account of the disappearance of the Boston Transcript efforts have been
made to publish current pastoral changes in other Boston papers and in other
New England papers. Only partial success has been achieved. We understand
that our list appears regularly in the Saturday issue of the Hartford Courant, and,
occasionally, of the Providence Journal.
A change has taken place in the office staff through the resignation of Miss
Dorothy E. Howe to become office secretary at New Haven, Connecticut, for the
New England section of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. We
greatly regretted to have Miss Howe go. She had been with us since September,
1938. Her place has been taken by Miss Florence N. Johnson, whose previous
experience with the American Board particularly fits her for her work with us.
Last spring at four state conferences and this fall at two, the Secretary has given
an address on "The Acute Problem of Placing Ministers — What Can Ministers,
Churches and Denominational Officials Do About It.*"'
Under the leadership of Rev. Theodore Bacheler of South Hadley Falls, Massa-
chusetts, a member of our Board, an attempt is being made to improve the state-
ment which we ask from ministers who are interested in registering with our office.
It is believed that a real gain is possible in this important matter.
No Sadness of Farewell
This is the last report for the Congregational Board of Pastoral Supply which
its present Secretary will sign, as his lengthened term expires December 31, 1942.
There come to him at this time these verses which he learned soir\e fifty years ago
from Tennyson's "In Memoriam":
68 Advance Reports [1942
"And hear at times a sentinel
Who moves about from place to place.
And whispers to the worlds of space,
In the deep night, that all is well.
"And all is well, though faith and form
Be sundered in the night of fear;
Well roars the storm to those who hear
A deeper voice across the storm."
Let us hear and heed this deeper Voice across the storm. Let us help others to
hear and heed. p^^. ^^^ g^^^.^^

BOSTON SEAMAN'S FRIEND SOCIETY
Now more than ever before the men of the Navy and Merchant Marine stand
as bulwarks between us and possible destruction. Upon their bravery and courage
depends not only the freedom of the seas, but our ultimate victory. Our every

The generous response to our recent appeals for clothing, books and magazines
as well as money, shows very clearly an awakened public interest in and a growing
sense of our dependence on these men of the sea. We are beginning to realize the
vital place they hold in our national life.

for the year amounted to $38,984.00.
Every dollar contributed by churches and individuals goes directly into the work
for seamen. All salaries are paid out of income from invested funds.
We are fuUy conscious of our responsibility to the Congregational and Christian
Churches of Massachusetts and sincerely hope we shall continue to merit the
support and confidence of the churches in return.
Herbert W. Gates, Arthur J. Crockett,
Field Secretary Secretary-Treasurer
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1928 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Fourteen cents per member is asked this year of
the Churches. Eight cents of the fourteen goes to the General Council (formerly
The National Council) and six cents is kept by the Conference. The collection of
the six cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our organization
to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.
70
CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agreements with
the donors, and encourages this method for those who wish any part of their
property to be applied to our work after their death, and desire an assured income
from this property for themselves, or for others whom they may designate as
beneficiaries, so long as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning
such annuity agreements is invited.
TRUST FUNDS
The Conference is glad to receive bequests to be held in trust for the benefit of
churches. Many churches have put their trust funds in the care of the Conference.
It is now administering trust funds for churches in Massachusetts to the amount of
over $695,000. If any extra expense is incurred that is charged against the principal
or income of the fund involved. Funds which have been committed to our care have
earned a little less than 4% this last year.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, made up for the most
part of persons who have had little experience in administering funds, to guard the
safety of church trust funds. The Conference has exceptional facilities for keeping
funds safely and investing them profitab y and wisely. The Board of Trustees of
the Conference, which has charge of all its funds, contains men of large ability and.
experience in such matters.

Contributions for home missions from the churches in Worcester, to be credited

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CON-
GREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the estabhshment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of
the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Missionary Committee of the local Association of
Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid must show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference must consult the President or Secre-
tary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book; but names in the pastoral column are changed according to the latest
information before going to press.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment." "P. C." means pastor by council-
"P.," pastor otherwise; "W. C." means without church; other abbreviations are self-
evident. "W.C.," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some
who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals,
and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically; churches in each town
according to age. If the post office name of the church and the town name differ, a foot-
note on the page where the post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader
to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1942. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1941. "Absent" members, by vote of the Conference, are not recorded in
the Massachusetts statistics. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers,
teachers and scholars, January 1, 1942, or when the school is in operation (if not at that
date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as
maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained' ' denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Commenced" denotes the date of the beginning of his
present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical
Tables pastors installed are marked "i"; pastors recognized by a council called for that
purpose are marked "r,"; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed or rec-
ognized by council, are not marked; "y" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field; "§", for address see alphabetical list in back of book.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but means "no report";
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll, "h" home department, "e" both cradle
roll and home department, and "b" a mission or branch school.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk* indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published this year offers the
reader an opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of
female members, subtract the number of male members from the total.
