FOR THE
iSrain and Nervous System.
Physicians liave prescribed over lialf a million paclcages of
VITALIZED PHOS-PHITES,
And have found this BRAIN AND NERVE FOOD indis- pensable in the treatment of all Diseases of Debility, and in all Mental or Nei'vous Disorders.
It restores to the busy, active brain of man or woman the energy and ability that have been lost by disease, worry or overwork. It restores vitality where there has been debility and nervousness, and prevents loss of memory and brain fatigue ; it is a regenerator of the tired brain and nerves.
In impaired vitality it restores to the system that which has been wasted in excitement, in abuses, in excessive bodily or mental emotions.
It PREVENTS Consumption and other diseases of Debility.
No Brain Worker can afford to be without this Brain Food. — Rev. Dr.
BOSTWICK.
It aids wonderfully in the mental and bodily growth of infants and children. Under its use the teeth come easier, the bones grow better, the skin plumper, and smoother; the brain acquires more readily, and rests and sleeps more sweetly. An ill-fed brain learns no lessons, and is excusable if peevish. It gives a happier and better childhood.
No College Student, whether young gentleman or lady, no anxious, diligent schoolgirl, can accomplish what the brain aspires to without the assistance of this Brain Food With its aid study is easy and memory retentive. — W. E. Sheldon, " National Journal of Education."
No rapidly growing infant or child can develop into intellectual or physical beauty without a sufficiency of Fhos-phites. — Prof. Percy.
IT IS THE BEST PROMOTER OF DIGESTION.
150 Point Street, Providence, R. I., May 6, 1879. F. Crosby: Dear Sir, — I have used and prescribed in my practice several dozen Vitalized Phos-phites, and find it a good medicine in most cases of Nervous Disturbance. It is fattening to some patients, becajise it materially aids the digestion and assimilation of food. Yours respectfully,
C. W. FiLMORE, M. D.
Vitalized Phos-phites are the best remedy for Indigestion ; they increase the digestive power. — D. A. Gorton, M. D.

OBERLIN COLLEGE.
OBEI^LIHSr, OHIIO.
Department of Theoi^ooy. — Instruction is given by the President, five Pro- fessors, and eminent special lecturers appointed from year to year. Students have coniinodious furnished rooms in the new and attractive building, Council Hall, which is di'voted exclusively to the uses of this department. They have free access to all the classes, libraries, and cabinets of the other departments. Fifteen weeks during the summer can be spent in home-missionary or other labor, with compensa- tion, without interf.reiice with studies. The demand for such labor is greater than the .supply. During the last half of the course, the students liave frequent oppor- tunities to supply the neigliboring churches. Students who need pecuniary assistance rt-ceive the usual aid from the American Education Society, and sucli appropriati ins from special funds under the control of the Seminary as will enable them, with reasonable prudence and economy, to pursue their course without interruption or embarrassment.
Department of Philosophy and the Arts. — Twelve Professors give instruc- tion in this department. The Clussical C'oMr.s-e embraces the studies of our best col- leges, so arranged that after the Freshman year the student may, by elective studies, give a classical or scientific character to his course, receiving the degree of A. B. at its close. For entrance, three years of Latin, two of (rreek, and one term of Geom- etry are necessary. The Literary Course is like the above, with the exception that no Greek and less Latin are required.
Department of Preparatory Instruction. — Comprises a Classical School, •which prepares students for the best colleges, and an English School, which offers the advantages of a first-class academy to those whi> can spend but a little time at school. Instruction is given by the Principal of this department, six tutors, and about twenty special teachers.
Expenses in all departments for tuition, incidentals, and board are verij low. Students who do not wish to take a full course can select such studies in any depart- ment as they are prepared to pursue to advantage. Both sexes admitted. Location healthful, and religious influences the best. No drinking saloons in town. Circulars with full information sent free by J. B. T. MARSH, Secretary.

This Institution has been established sixteen years. The first intention was to furnish elementary instruction, mainly for the purpose of affording wiiat was at that time very rare in this country, — namely, a suitable preparation for advanced standing in the European conservatories. To this end, care has been taken to employ none but thoroughly qualified teachers. Graduates from this school have continued their studies in the best foreign conservatories, and in every case have received high commendation for the thorough and satisfactory nature of their ])re))aration.
The Scliool has had a vigorous growth, and now stands among the few institutions of our land which furni.sh superior advantages for doing work of an advanced grade. It is manned by a board of eleven professional and four assistant teachers, and it aims especially at the production of Thorough Musicians, instead of mere piano plavers, organists, or solo singers. A well-balanced cultivation of all the musical and intellectual faculties must be made the groundwork on which special studies and virtuoso attainments can be superimposed, if the musical profession is ever to be freed from the reproach of' one-sided development and ignorance in matters outside of a certain specialty.
ExPKNSEsare much lower than at other schools of the same grade. The entire outlay for a year's instruction (giving one's whole time to the study of music) need not exceed $350, including all necessary expenses. Many students get along com- fortably with a much smaller expenditure.

Wheaton Female Seminary,
NORTON, MASS.
Was founded by Hon. Laban Wheaton, of Norton, in 1834, in memory of his daughter, to be a school for Christian education. It is on the Boston, Clinton, Fitchburg and New Bedford Rail- road (Old Colony, Northern Division), within an hour's ride of Boston, and is in connection with all important points by railway and telegraph. It is in a healthful village, entirely free from all temptations and excitements. It is not a large school, and gives, therefore, opportunity for famil- iar personal intercourse between teachers and pupils. It has a very choice reference library of over three thousand volumes, one of the best furnished laboratories in the country, ample philo- sophical apparatus, an observatory with a fine telescope, and cabinets of natural history, all of which are accessible for study.
The design of the school is to impart an accurate, thorough and practical education. It espe- cially aims, as it has done from the beginning, to base such education upon a hearty faith in the Bible, and a conscientious Christian life ; and it is the endeavor that a pervasive Christian influence be constantly felt throughout the school.
The regular course of study for graduation covers four years. But pupils can join temporarily Buch classes as they are prepared to enter, without pursuing the full course.
The expense for the regular course, including tuition, board, room and heating, lights, wash- ing (twelve pieces per week), $255 per year. The regular tuition of the daughters of clergymen and missionaries is remitted upon application before the beginning of a term. Several scholar- ships of one hundred dollars each are provided for deserving pupils.

ABBOT academy;
ANDOVER, MASS.
Andover, on the Boston and Maine Railroad, about one hour's ride from Boston, Salem and Lowell, is one of the most beautiful and healthful of New England villages. It is the seat of one of the oldest and largest Theological Seminaries in the country, and of Phillips Academy, the first in- corporated and most celebrated classical school. The moral and intellectual atmosphere created by these collected institutions, their history and traditions, tend most strongly to promote the mental and moral development of those who come here for instruction.
Abbot Academy is located m the immediate neighborhood of these institutions, and enjoys many incidental advantages through them, while easy access to Boston and Cambridge brings within its reach iine Music, Art Galleries, Musemns, Cabinets, and the Botanical Garden, to all of which, classes with their teachers have occasional access. The Academy has a fiue Clark Telescope, good •workmg cabinets, models, and apparatus of its own.
The course of study covers four years, and embraces all the usual academical studies, special attention being given to Mental and Moral Philosophy, English, and General Literature, the History of Art, and to the Latin, French and German Languages. Superior advantages are afforded in Music, Drawing, Painting, and Elocution.
The domestic arrangements are peculiarly homelike. The school is divided into three separate families in separate houses, each under its own matron and teachers. One of these families is made up wholly of pupils in French, In which language the daily table-talk is carried on under the direction of the French teacher. Another family is occupied with German in like manner.
The school has been successfully conducted for twenty years by the same principal, assisted by an able corps of teachers, whose constant endeavor is to so educate girls' that they may mature into ' healthful, cultivated, earnest. Christian women.
The total expenses for board, including fuel, lights, and washing, and for tuition, except music and drawing, is !$300 per annum.
Application for admission or information should be made to
Miss PHILENA McKEEN, Principal, Andover, Mass.

In 1854, Thomas Parkman Cushing, of Boston, left the bulk of his estate to found an Academy in his native town of Ashburnham, where for fifty-five years his father had labored as the second Congregational minister. After increasing for ten years, according to the terms of the ■will, in 1865 the property, amounting to $96,000, was made over to Pres. Wayland, Gov. Bullock, and their associates of the fii-st Board of Trustees. The fund was allowed to accumulate for nearly ten years longer, when about $86,000 was expended in the present commodious building and its furnishings, and a considerably larger sum was sot apart as a permanent endowment. The School was opened in 1875, and has since been quietly pursuing its work of laying a foundation and gaining a standing before the public. The attendance three years ago was 76; two years ago, 106; last year, 116; this year (to February, 1882), 144.
Wliile entirely unsectarian, the School aims pre-eminently to exert a healthful moral and Christian influence. Three Courses of Study are marked out, — Classical, Ladies', and General or Scientific; and full preparation is given for colleges for either sex. By the will of the founder, special attention is given to those who wish to engage in teaching or some other profession, but are unable to take a college course; for the benefit of such, the languages may be pursued much beyond the mere requirements for college, and more than the usvial space is given to Laboratory Work, English Language and Literature, Essays and Discussions, History, Political Science, Mentaland Moral Philosophy, and Pedagogics. Superior instruction is given on the piano and organ.
Expenses are low, aggregating $150 to $200 for the school year. Young ladies board in a very pleasant hall lately furnished, or in families; young men, in good private families. At present (Feb. 1) there are no vacancies, and, usually, applications must be made some time in advance to secure accommodations. For catalogue or further information, address
JAMES E. VOSE, Principal.
V The Class of '82 has several members of flne promise who desire situations as teachers the coming fall, — Christian young men and women who huve tugged their own way through against heavy odds. School Boards are invited to correspond, or to call at the Institution.
THE HOWARD OfilfEESITY,
'WA.SHiN'aTOJsr, n. c.
OBJECT.
This institution secures the advantages of education to the colored race, but is open to all students, irrespective of race or sex. It can accommodate 500 students, at a very cheap rate of expense, and twenty-six States are now represented.
DEPARTMENTS.
It has an Academic Department, embracing (a) The Model School Course of three years in the elementary English branches (students completing this course are prepared to begin either of the three following) : (6) The Normal Course of three years, adapted to those who have the work of teaching in view; (c) The Literary Conrse of four years, designed to furnish a good prac- tical education for those who are unable to take the full college curriculum; (d) The Classical Preparatory Course of three years ; and (e) The Classical College Course of four years.
It has also three Professional Departments, — Law, Medicine, and Theology. The two latter are especially flourishing. The Medical Department is uuder the charge of an able Faculty, is the cheapest medical school in the land, aud has access to a large national hospital on its grounds. The majority of its students are white. The Theological Course is adapted to the peculiar wants and future work of the students, and gives a regular or a special course. Its Faculty and students represent several denominations, but it is supported by the American Missionary Association and by the Presbytery of Washington.
EXPENSES.
No tuition is charged in the Academic Course. Room rent, $15 00. No charge to theological students for room rent. Rooms are furnished, but stu- dents provide their own bedding (except mattress), towels, crockery, fuel, and light. Board, $10.00 per month (cheap table, $8.00). Washing, $2.00 per month. Law Department, $40.00 per year; Medical, $10.00 initiation fee, $30.00 graduation fee, and no tuition fee.
NECESSITIES.
Howard University appeals to the Christian public of all denominations for pecuniary aid. It has grounds and buildings which cost over $500, TOO, which avf^ free of debt, but it needs permanent endowments for its professorships, and endowed scholarships for indigent students. Situated at the national capital, where its work is conspicuous, it has the noblest opportunity to reach all parts of the land with its elevating influence. Appeal is made, for gener- ous contributions, to churches, Sunday schools, ladies' societies, and benevo- lent individuals. Address,
Rev. WM. W. PATTON, D. D., President.
FISK UNIVERSITY,
NASHVILLE. TENN.
Rev. E. M. CRAVATH, Pres. Rev. A, K. SPENCE, Dean.
EDV/'ARD P. GILBERT, Treas.
Fisk University was founded for the express purpose of ,^ving Christian education to the emancipated millions of the South. Its location is central and in every way desirable for the pur- poses of a great University. Kashville is easily accessible, and is sufficiently elevated above and removed from the malarious regions to be a favorable place for study. It is the greatest centre of educational institutions in tlie wliole South. Nearly everj' denomination has selected Nashville, or Borne point near by in Middle Tennessee, as the seat of its college or university for the Southwest,
HISTORY.
The work was begun immediately after the close of the war. There have already been estab- lished the following departments : Normal, with its Model School for practice, Higher Normal, College Preparatory, College, and Theological. It is hoped that funds can soon be provided to establish departments of Medicine and Law.
The University has one large building named Jubilee Hall, in honor of its Jubilee singers, ■who raised the money to erect it Its second building, Livingstone Missionary Hall, provided by the munificence of M rs. Daniel P. Stone, will be completed in time for occupation at the beginning of the next school year.
NECESSITIES.
The great and pressing necessity of the University is an adequate endowment. Fi^k University is emphatically a missionary institution. The people, in whose interest it has been founded, were, seventeen years ago, slaves. Tlie most of the students are dependent on themselves, and must earn their own support while securing their education. The colleges of no section of our country rely upon their students for the salaries of professors.
The current expenses of Fisk University have thus far been principally met by the A. M. A ., but with the hope that the success of its work would create for it friends, who would gladly endow it.

HEALTHY CHILD FOOD
Insures robust manhood. Feed your children on Ridge's Food. It is used with greater success than any other article of the kind, as the thou- sands of children who have been reared on Ridge's Food and its enormous sales testify.
KIDGE'S FOOD
Will support life single-handed. It is NOT ■wholly dependent on milk, like other so-called Baby Foods.
NURSING MOTHERS
Will find an increase in their own strength and that of their babies by taking a bowl of Ridge's Food every night. The DAILY USE of Ridge's Food will make a dyspeptic invalid happy.
DYSPEPTICS
Will find in Ridge's Food every qualification necessary, as It is a steam-cooked food, wherein all the flesh-forming properties are retained. It is soothing, strengthening and satisfying, and can be used in a great variety of ways to suit the most fastidious.
PLUMP BABIES,
Yes, solid babies, are the result when fed daily on Ridge's Food. It fortifies them with strength to battle with diseases peculiar to child life.
ALL THAT LIVES
Must be fed, and Ridge's Food is something to eat. It is not a thin, insufficient food. In cases where the stomach will not assimilate milk, it can be used without.
A CHILD'S LIFE
Depends in a great measure on its daily food. Remember, if the food is improper in kind and insufficient in quantity, the foundation is laid for future misery and disease. Children who are fed on Ridge's Food grow up strong and healthy, and tens of thousands are saved every year by its use.
LITTLE CHILDREN
Often need simple nourishment rather than medicines, and how to afford this when the child has little power to assimilate is fully met in Ridge's Food, which will give bone, muscle and sinew without distress. Experience is the great teacher, and those who have not used Ridge's Food for their little ones should give it a trial. Take no other. It has been in use forty years, and still leads.
IN ENGLAND,
Where Ridge's Food has been in use forty years, the dietetic controversy was carried to a special committee of the House of Commons, and the result was that Ridge's Food was placed at the head over all other preparations. In this country the sales of Ridge's Food are more than for all others combined.
PUBLIC OPINION
Justifies the statement that Ridge's Food is the best daily diet for children. It makes bone, muscle, nerve tissue, and in every way builds up the system, of the growing child.
RIDGE'S FOOD
Is sold in cans, 35 cents, 65 cents, $1.25 and $1.75. WOOLRICH & CO. on every label.

AN INSTITUTE OF THEOLiOGY. By Elisha Mulfobd, LL. D., Author of " The Nation." 8vo. $2.00.
" Nothing like this unique hook has yet heen ■written. It is a strong, clear; positive statement of the theology of the Christ, directed to the thought of the age. It is the first attempt to explain theology hy the scientific method. It is a constructive work. . . . The prime thought of the hook can no more he shaken than the eternal hills ; and whether men accept or dispute different points in its development, it is one of the few books that sooner or later create a new world for men to live in." — Mew York Times.
" It is a hook Easily misunderstood by routine religionists, and several readings will scarcely exhaust its meaning; but perhaps it is not too much to say that, taken as a whole, no book on the statement of the great truths of Christianity at once so fresh, so clear, so fundamental, and so fully grasping and solving the religious problems of our time, has yet been written by any American." — Boston Advertiser.

unspeakably reassuring to Christian faitli to find that after the fairest investigation and the most
careful weighing of testimony, the decided preponderance of evidence is on the side of religion.
He makes the reader see and feel that this is so." — Tlie Evangelist (New York).
" While these lectures commend themselves to readers of speculative and metaphysical taste, they will be attractive and enjoyable to many whose tastes are not specially philosophical. They are particularly free from technical language, the chain of argument is lucid and easily followed, they are pervaded by a spirit of candor and conciliation, and they are distinguished by the ennobling influence and graceful finish that marked everything that came from Prof. Diman's pen." — Providence Journal,

" There is not a single one of the articles in this volume — oration, essay, historical monograph, or sermon — which will not reveal to the reader that it was the product of a remarkable intellect, a most thorough culture, and a pure and lofty spirit. And when the book also includes specimens of all his varied mental activity, and shows his possession of the knowledge and faculties of the religious philosopher, the political scholar, the profound student of history, the accomplished and graceful orator, the world will understand not only how complete and well-rounded, but how thoroughly great a man he was." — Providence Journal.
" I think it is not the partiality of personal friendship which leads me to regard these produc- tions of Prof. Diman as not surpassed by any other writings of the same class in our literature." — Oeorge P. Fisher, Professor in Yale College.
The Gospel of the Resurrection.
By James M. Whiton, Ph. D. 16mo. $1.25.
" A thoughtful and reverent study of one of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. To those who .are capable of rightly apprehending the spiritual conceptions which Dr. Whiton embodies in this volume, they will serve to clear away many mistaken and material ideas, and will help to make the sublime and inspiring truth of a life beyond the grave more intensely and vitally real." — Bos- ton Journal.
" Contains a great deal that is interesting and consolatory. His views of the recognition of friends in heaven will find a glad response in the hearts of mourners everywhere." — The Chris- tian at Work (New York).

As to miuisters, we need also to know, and a State Summary in State Minutes should tell us readily :
1. How many churches are served by installed pastors ?
2. How many churches have pastors not installed (meaning only ordained Con- gregational miuisters) 1
3. How many churches are statedly supplied at date by licentiates or ministers of other denominations ?
4. How many churches are vacant ?
5. How manj' ministers are pastors in the State ?
6. How many are acting pastors in the State 1 1. How many are without charge in the State ?
Very few States do now give answers to these questions. The absence of these answers, and the frequent omission of anything to designate (in the tables) licentiates and men of other denominations, require laborious corrections of the lists in those tables, and days of needless labor and delay in compiling these figures for our na- tional statistics.
IV. It would be a great convenience, and facilitate the issue of the Year-Book, if State Minutes would follow the order of items in general use. The list of items for which fiijures are asked is given in this issue on page 78. Any number of blanks wanted to collect these statistics in any State, will be furnished on application to the secretary of the National Council.
V. Items should be added up. In one State, eight items of benevolence had to be added by the compiler for each of two hundred and three churches, to obtain the amount for each church. A table not worth a " total " is rarely worth printing. Summari/ tables should be found in every State issue, and made correctly.
VI. States should be kept distinct in their totals. That is, if tables unite Presby- terian and Congregational churches, the statistcial world needs a distinct total for each, as is well given in New Hampshire. Likewise, if a State Association includes churches of another State, there should be distinct totals for each State, as is well done in New York and in Ohio, but is not done at all in some other States.
VII. The Year-Book ought to be able to add the name of every church clerk, and of the superintendent of every Sabbath school. The Sabbath-school work is important enough, prominent enough, and useful enough, to demand this help. Let us have the names in every State ! The post-office address of every church should be given in the tables. For lack of this, Year-Books failed last year to reach scores of churches because of their fancy names. There are many " Pleasant "-Somethings in the laud, and Something " Grove "s, unknown to the postmasters.
VIII. Alphabetical lists of ministers in the State issues should be confined to and include ordained Congregational ministers. These lists are implicitly and necessarily followed by the Year-Book.
The greatly enlarged statistics of the benevolent societies, in this issue, will answer a want.

TREASURERS REPORT.
TREASURER'S REPORT, JAN. 1, 1882.
At the Council in St. Louis the following resolutions were jiassed, found on page 31 of the Minutes : —
Resolred, That the Treasurer be authorized to ask at his discretion, offerings to the treasury for its present relief and future efficiency.
Rcsolrrd, That the Treasurer be instructed to publish e:ich year in the Year-Book the condition of the treasury, and the amounts received and lacking from the several State bodies.
In compliance with the above, the following is given as the report of the Treasurer Jan. 1, 1882 : —
At that date the treasury was overdrawn to the amount of $2,182.42
There was due from unpaid arrears prior to 1881 501.13
Thf re was due from assessment fur the year 1881 2,885.53
Making in all, if paid as requested 3,38(5.66
Of this sum it is hoped that enough will be paid soon to relieve the treasury. If prompt payment were made by each State, it would give us the benefit of practical economy. The assessment for 1881 was made upon the membership as reported in the Year-Book of 1880, and may therefore differ from estim.ites made upon other figures.
The amounts received from and remaining unpaid by the several State bodies Jan. 1, 1882, were as follows: —

A serious difficulty in managing the finances of the Council arises from the fact that the returns from many of the States are a full j'ear, and sometimes more, after the time wlien the bills they are designed to cover must he paid. This makes it nect ssary for the Treasurer to carry each year's expenses as a debt, upon which interest must be paid at rates such as emj)ty treasuries have to pay. If the States would all respond without fail even then, the case would be relieved of some of its annoyances. It will be seen in the above statement that on the 1st of January, 1882, only four of the States had paid in full the dues for 1881. If all pay as requested by the action of Council in which all took part, the treasury will in time get relief.
Will nut the officers of the State bodies give this matter their prompt attention, and at the earliest possible date forward what is now due ? Also let those who have this matter in charge in the .several States see that payments for 1882 are made at as early a date as possible, and thus relieve the Treasurer of much needless embarrass- ment.
For the current expenses of the Council, churches and local bodies are reqiiested to contribvxte through the State body within whose limits they are situated. But if any churches or iudividuals are dispf)sed to aid in establishing a "Relief Fund," which shall be kept as security/ for the ultimate payment of such sums of money as the Treasurer is compelled to borrow from time to time in meeting current expenses before the returns from the churches are received, it will be dul^^ acknowledged and devoted to that purpose. Such a fund of four or five thousand dollars would be at once an index of stability and a source of income, and is greatly needed. A few of the churches and individuals to whom God has given wealth could easily make up this sum, as a token of regard for the Scriptural Order iu which these nearly four thousand churches of Chiist are affiliated.

COMMITTEE ON A CREED.
The Committee* appointed by the National Council of the United States to select a Commission of twenty-tive to consider the matter of preparing a new Creed and Catechism for the churches, have been delayed in reaching a conclusion by circumstances beyond their own control, growing mainly out of the necessity laid on them to secure the consent of the persons selected to serve, before making any announcement. The list is, however, at length completed, and is as follows : —
MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
Rev. Julius H. Seelye, d. d ., Amherst, Mass.
Rev. Charles M Mead, d. d ' Andover, Mass.
Rev. Henky M. Dexter, d. d Boston, Mass.
Rev. Edmund K. Alden, d. d Boston, Mass.
Rev. Alexander McKenzie, d. d Cambridge, Mass.
Rev. Samuel Harris, d. d New Haven, Conn.
Rev. George P. Fisher, d. d New Haven, Conn.
Rev. George L. Walker, d. d Hartford, Conn.
Rev. William S. Karb. d. d Hartford, Conn.
Prof. George T. Ladd Brunswick, Me.
Rev. Samuel P. Leeds, d. d Hanover, N. H.
Rev. David B. Coe, d. d New York, N. Y.
Rev. W^iLLiAM M. Taylor, d. d New York, N. Y.
Rev, Lyman Abbott, d. d Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, N.Y.
Rev. Augustus F. Beard, d. d Syracuse, N Y.
Rev. William W. Patton, d. d Washington, D. C.
Rev. James H. Fairchild, d. d Oberlin, O.
Rev. Israel W. Andrews, d. d Marietta, O.
Rev. Zachary Eddy, d.d Detroit, Mich.
Rev. James T. Hyde, d.d Chicago, III.
Rev. Edward P. Goodwin, d. d Chicago, 111
Rev. Alden B. Robbins, d. d Muscatine, la.
Rev. CoNSTANS L. Goodell, d.d c^t. Louis, Mo.
Rev. Richard Cordley, d. d Emporia, Kan.
Rev. George Mooar, d. d OaKland, Cal.
In making the selection, different sections of the country have been drawn upon somewhat in proportion to the membership of the Congregationalist churches in each. The list embraces men who are understood to represent different shades of opinion while holding fast to the essential truths of the gospel. With a large proportion of pastors are joined representatives of theological seminaries and col- leges, of the religious press and of the missionary work of our churches. Letters ^ responding to these appointments indicate that those designated will enter on the work with interest and hopefulness, and that they will be able to co-operate in mutual respect and congeniality of spirit and aim for the important object contemplated.
Ic is understood that the Commission will choose its own chairman, determine for itself its organization and methods of procedure, fill vacancies that may occur in its number, and take whatever time may be requisite for consummating its work, reporting results directly to the churches through the press. It is pre- sumed also that the necessary expenses of the Commission will be provided for by voluntary contributions from brethren in our churches.
Messrs. Abbott, Coe, and Taylor, of New York, are charged with the duty of calling the first meeting of the Commission at such time and place as they may agree upon.
In behalf of the Committee, A. L. CHAPIN, Chairman.
* Committee to nomijiate a Committee of Tiventy-flve to prepare a Declaration of Faith. — Rev. Aaron L. Chapin, d. d., Beloit, Wis., Chairman ; Rev. Charles D. Barrows, Lowell, Mass.; Rev. Stephen R. Deniien, D. D , New Haven, Conn.; Rev. Nathaniel A. Hyde, d. d., Indianapolis, Ind. ; Rev. Frank P. Woodbury, Rockford, III.; David C. Bell, Minneapolis, Minn.; and Jonathan E.

Note. — Of the above, eight died before 1881, but it is hardly expedient to confuse the list and summaries by separate account. To those who are interested, the dates in each case will show the facts. There were in 1880, 86 deaths, and, as far as reported in 1881, 77 deaths.
The compiler renews his earnest request to friends and to the secretaries of the State bodies, for prompt information of the death of Congregational ministers, and for full and exact information on the model of the sketches above given. Obituary and eulogy beyond, it is impossible to use here.

Our Present Field, as reported in 1881, includes seventeen missions, carrying the gospel to the North Americau Dakota Indians, to Western Mexico, to the islands of the Pacific, to Spain and Austria, to European, Western, Central, and Eastern Turkey, to Western and Southern India, to Ceylou, to Southeastern and West Cen- t al Africa, to Soutlierii and Northern China, aud to Japan. This work includes direct evangelistic effort through missionaries and native helpers; an immense educa- tional trust, extending from the primary school to the colle;4e aud theological semi- nary; Sunday-school instruction; the jneparatiou, publication, and circulation, in over twenty different languages, of books, tracts, and newsijapers; assistance in tlie erec- tion of buildings f-r chitrches and schools; grants in aid to feeble churches aud to native home-missionary societies; the humaue service of missionary j)hysicians, some- times iu the care of large disiiensaries and hospitals; also charitable miui-tiy, c intin- uous and varied, to the sick, the poor, and the oppressed. All these deparments upan the foreign field are eijonomically managed under one efificieut and experienced administration.
OcjR Present Force, now occupying eight liundred and fourteen stations and out-stations, numbers but one bituilred aud fifty ordained missionaries — of whom five are phy.>icians — aud two hundred and foity-tliree assistant missionaries, making a total from this country of four hundred aud fourteen. Our native force is more than four times this number, — a total of 1,717, of whom five hundred are native pas- tors aud preachers.
Ouj{ Native Churches, two hundred and seventy-two in number, not including those of the Hawaiian Islands, enroll 18,446 membeis, of which number 2,1(51 were received last year, and nearly 7,900 during the last lour years, on confession of their faith in Christ.
Our Training and Theological Schools, including station classes, fifty-one in number, are giving instruction to 1,468 young men, many of them fitting' for the Christian ministry.
OfK Girls' Schools of the higher order, thirty-six in number, enroll over 1,400 pupils, many of them fitting to be teachers, many of them to be Christian wives aud mothers, constituting the educatioual jjower of Christian homes for the next genera- tion.
Our Common Schools, seven hundred and ninety-one in number, euroll over 30,- 000 jjupils, making a total of over 3o,00U under Chiistian instructiou.
Regular Donations from the Churches, which during the past five years have averaged about ;5oo0,000, including what was received through the woman's boards, need to advance about twenty-five per cent in order to meet the necessary appropria- tions. Upon these donations and upon ordinary legacies we must rely lor the sup- port of the regular work of the Board; the munificent Otis bequest having been sacredly set apart, and already very largely expended, for evangelistic and educational advance, and tor new missions in Africa, ^lity we hoiie for a contribution as gen- erous as possible, not only from every church, but also from every individual who desires to be personally identified with this broad Christian work? Our main instru- mental reliance for awakening and deepening missionary interest is upon pastors, sus- tained by their churches aud Sunday schools.

The Amer- ican Education Society was organized and received its charter from Massachusetts in the year 1816. The College Society, as the other organization was popularly called, w.is formed in 1843. It was for years a voluntary association without a charter. In 1872 it received a charter also from the State of Massachusetts. These two organiza- tions were brought together under a new charter fron the same State, in May, 1874.

Income for the year ending April 30, 1881, $256,168.53. Of this $160,000 came from Mrs. Stone, of Maiden, for Western colleges. Of the whole income, $229,851.37 was contributed for colleges and paid to them. The sum of $18,580 was paid to students fitting for the ministry. The balance was for current expenses.
In both departments the Society has had a large agency in the formation of society throughout the great West. The men who were pioneers in the work of preaching the gospel in the new settlements, and in the founding of churches and schools, were largely educated by this Society. The colleges which are now among the foremost iu these Western fields were largely built up by the same agency.
48 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR-BOOK. [1882.
The whole number of younsr men assisted by the Society in their studies for the ministry since 1810 is 6,892. Tlie institutions at tlie West wliich have been assisted by tlie Society since 1843 are tlie following, viz.: Western Reserve, Illinois, Wa'iash, aiid Miirietta Oolleges, and Lane Tlieological Seminary. These live are the institu- tions which the Society took under its care at the beginning-, in 1843. Those whicli have since been received on the list are Knox, Beloit, Thayer, Wittenberg, Oberlin, and Berea Colleges, the College of California, Pacific University. Olivet, Ripou, Iowa, Carelton, Dome, Drury, Sv^ashburn, and Colorado Colleges, and Pa ific The- ological Seminary.
The ten last named are still upon the Society's list. .The number of young men now receiving assistance from tlie Society is 269.
At the time when the Education Society began its work of helping young men into the Christian ministry in the year 1816, the condition of thini;s in tliis couutiy* was very peculiar. The great movement of emigration toward the West was set- ting in with strength. The American Board had been organized a few years before, and the cause of Foreign Missions was taking strong hold upon the churches. But "the laborers were few." Ever since the close of the Revolutionary war, the churches had been in a confused and preoccupied state, and the numher of men cdui- ing forward for the wurk of the ministry was alarmingly small. It was in such a state of things that this Society began its enterprise. Through the aid thus afforded, and througli the impulses thus imparted, a host of living preacher.s was raised uj) to go witli the moving colonies out into the fields of the West, or to go far hence to the Gentiles, to proclaim the Gosjiel of salvation through Jesus Christ. A work of ines- timable importance for the Christianizing and civilizing of our own land was accom- plished by this instrumentality. The ministers raised up by this Society became to a large extent the pioneers in the way of founding churches, schools, colleges throuoh- out all those Western fields, while in foreign lands half the missionaries laboring under the care of the American Board had been brought forward in the same way.

THE AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Was organized JMay 25, 1853, at Boston, and received its charter from the Massa- chusetts I-iegislature, April 12, 1854. Its present officers, in part, are: —
Samcel D. "Warren, Boston, President.
RuFUs S. Frost, Boston, Chairman of Board of Directors.
Samuel T, Snow, Boston, Treasurer.
Rev. Isaac P. Langworthy, d. d., Boston, Corresponding Secretary and Librarian.
Rev. Daniel P. Notes, Wilmington, Mass., Recording Secretary.
Miss Mary E. Stone, Boston, Assista)it Librarian. The object of this Association is " to establish and perpetuate the religious hi-tory and literature of New England, and for the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of the same, and for the use of charitable societies; also to do such acts as may promote the interest of Congregational churches," etc.
Its library is intended tor reference, having as its specialties everything published hy the Pilgrims and Puritans, and their predecessors, contemporaries, and suc- cessors, which states or illustrates the principles and polity of Congregationalism, its history, its doctrine, its influence, and indeed the .-ame things in regard to every denomination; thus everything ecclesiastical, — theology, controversy, results of councils, sermons, church mauu;ils, minutes of religious bodies, every one; Year- Books, and all .such like; also all local histories, county, Shvte, and United States histories, genealogies, centennial, ordination, funeral, and all historical .'^ermons, all commentaries on the Scriptures, every biography, national. State, and municipal statistics, printed reports of all kinds, catalogues, obituary records, and inaugurals of all our literary institutions, together with any manuscripts, autographs, or me- mentos which relate to the objects above named.
On the 20th of May, 1881, the library had 28,135 books — 6,133 of which were dupli- cates— and over 125,000 pitmphlets, including duplicates, secured almost exclusively by gifts, as there has never been a dollar ai'propriated from the building fund with which to buy a book, nor can there be until the present onerous debt is greatly re- duced. Duplicates furnish a basis for excliaiiges, for which the Libraian has large facilities, and of which he avails himself to the uttermost; and in this way lie can assure all kindly disposed persons that they can send him no printed pamphlet or book that he cannot make useful here.
The Library has now more of the early publications of our country and of the mother Country which illustrate the principles and relate the deeds of our first set- tlers than afiy otlier public library in the United States; but it is still lacking very much of this sort that is scattered here and there, essentially useless where it is, but Would be invaluable here; also mnch more of the later and contemporaneous issues of the same general character found in every parish and town more or less. Now, let these be collected aiid sent here by some good friend iu each church, as a few have already done. 4

The Congregational House is a four-story granite structure, one hundred and three feet on Beac'ou street, and ninety-three feet ou Somerset street, having stores on lower floors on Beacon street, a^d rooms above for the A. B. C. F. M., the Woman's Board, the American College and Education Society, American Missionary Associa- tion, City Missionary Society, Woman's Home Missionary Society, Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, American Peace Society, the Cong regal ionalist, etc. The fire-proof library room is in a connected building; accessible, light, pleasant, safe, and has capacity for more than 100,000 volumes.
The great want of tliis Association is the hearty sympathy and co-operation of every Cougregationalist, expressed in "one fair contriliution " from each of the more tlian 2,307 Congregational chiirclies that have not inaile it; tlie gift of at least one dollar from every member, to be made a life member of the Association; tlie gift of the twenties, fifties, hundreds, and thousands from the more higlily favored; test- amentary gifts, if not earlier bestowed. Then this great j)roperty Avould be disen- cumbered, and all our strictly benevolent societies would be forever free from rent, thus insuring a good dividend to the cause of Christ upon every benefaction.

The American Congregational Union has for its chief end the aiding of feeble churches in the erection of houses of worship. It pays last bills, and in such a way as to stimulate the churches themselves to do their utmost. By its Trust Mortgage system it protects all grants from loss should the aided churches fail.
The Union has aided, or is aiding, in the erection of 1,231 Congregational sanctu- aries, or nearly one half of all that now exist in the nation. Of this whole number, ninety-eight are in New England, one hundred and thirteen in the Middle States, and the rest are scattered throughout the great West. The fifty-seven grants made during the first half of the present fiscal year are located iu eighteen diflerent States and Territories, — Dakota taking the lead, — as follows : Arizona, Arkansas, Cali- fornia, Dakota Territory, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Washington Territory. A majority of these churches have been organized inside of one year ; and many of them are at important points, and are from five to one hundred and fifty miles from any other cliurch edifice.
It has come to be a conceded fact that no church is established on a permanently assured basis that has not a house of worship. And yet very many of the Home Missionary churches in the great West are to-day houseless. This is true even in sucli States as Kansas and Nebraska. These houseless churches should build soon, and yet they cannot build without help from abroad. Their greatest need, say Home Missionary Sujierintendents, is sanctuaries, and homes for missionaries. As a rule, churches grow stronger from the time when they build ; and the dedication of their houses of worship increases tlieir strength every way.
Never has the demand for churcli building been anything like so great as it Ls now ; and this partly because a fresh impulse has been given to Home Missionary enterprise in the new West, and partly because Home Missionaries, State Suijeriu- teudents, and Home Missionary cliurches have come to realize that without sanctu- aries tlie best work cannot be done.
The Congregational Union cannot do its work of saving Home Missionary churches, and very much of Home Missionary nionej' and labor, from failure, with a less sum than $100,000 per annum. That amount must be spent in church building, or the Avork of organizing churches and supporting missionaries will have to diminish rather than increase.
And besides, tliere are now eight or ten great strategic centres where it would be gross neglect of duty not to establish churches. Yet this cannot be done to the best advahtage unless sanctuaries are built from the start ; and because of the high price of land and other things, they must have each from §1,500 to .?3,000 to insure success. The Union ought to be in a condition to take up such cases, and it must do it, and the means must be provided.
1882.] NATIONAL SOCIETIES. 51
To secure this, let each church put the Congreo;ational Union prominently on its list of benevolent contributions ; and as the society has no agents to plead its cause, will not pastors see to it that their churches make up annually their quota of the $100, 000? and as so, many do nothing, let those who see its importance do all the more.
"While the building of houses of worship has taken the lead, most decidedly, as it should, the charter of the Union provides for, and recent appeals demand aid in building homes for the missionaries. In many cases it is impossible for the mission- ary to hire a house of any kind; he must buy or build. Where houses can be rented, they are uniformly very high. This additional cost of living necessitates an addi- tional appropriation by the Home Missionary Society. Aid in building parsonages is therefore the plainest matter of missionary economy. A house costing ifiSOO to $1,000 rents for $15 to $30 a month. By a simple loan plan this matter could be easily arranged. The Union will wait for funds for jparsonages before beginning to build.

The Home Missionary, a monthly magnzine, published by the Society, at sixty cents a year, including postage, gives a running account of the progress of the work ill all parts of the country, largely from the pens of the superintendents and missionaries personally engaged in it. An Annual Report sums up the results of the year.
The Leaflet, a monthly tract, price five dollars a hundred for the year, is devoted to the Sunday-school department of the Society's work.
For nearly fifty-six years the Society has been organizing churches, mainly in the "West, and aiding in the support of their ministers till those churches are able to assume the whole expense. Its missionaries have from the first organized Sunday schools, provided proper teachers for them, and by watchful oversiyht have secured their permanence and highest usefulness. The Society now also raises and disburses money for supplying these missionary Sunday schools with libraries and other helps.
In connection with the libor of its missionaries, 4,153 churches have been organized, and 2,120 have come to self-support. It has collected and disbursed in casii nearly $11, 031,000, and in cLithing, books, and other supplies, largely the offerings of Christian women, more than 5?1, 29(5, 000: in h11, $10,327,000. The additions to the churches have been 303,290. Schools, academies, and colleges in nearly every "Western State are among the direct fruits of the work.
The number of missionaries employed in its fifty-fifth year (1S80-S1) was 1,032, more than 050 of them in States and Territories west of New York. They preached regularly in 2,653 stations, and at frequent intervals in many hundreds more. The number of Sunday-school and Bible-class scholars was about 100,000 The additions to the churches were 5,922 — 2,962 of them on profession of faith. One hundred and thirty-one churches were organized, and sixty-seven came to self-support Last year's receipts were, in cash, S290,953.72; in su])plies, $57,988: in all, $348,942.
At least -$350,000 in cash are needed this year to sustain the missionaries now in the field. To take up only such new work as the providence and Spirit of God impera- tively call upon the Society to assume at once, $50,000 more are imperatively required. In the first eight months of this fifty-sixth year, aboitt fifty men have been sent to new fields at the front, where they are most needed, but where their support involves heavy outlay by the Society. For securing the means essential to the carrying on of this great work the Societv depends, under God, on the zealous co-operation of the pastors and members of the Congregational churches of the land.

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