HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799, in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
Origin of Domestic Missionary Society
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper (which had come into being in 1818 to "see every parish in the State well supplied with a faithful Minister of Christ"), were united under the name of the Massachusetts Missionary Society. This meant that while the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the Massachusetts Missionary Society was henceforth to work almost exclusively in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home" Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of America.
Origin of Massachusetts Conference
The General Association of Massachusetts came into being in 1802. This ultimately became the Massachusetts Congregational Conference. The Confer- ence then merged with the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society in 1927, to become the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society. This was the result of twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommen- dation of the National Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. In 1953 the name was changed to Massachusetts Congregational Christian Con- ference. The Conference assumes responsibility for all Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts. It supports a staflf of fourteen persons who give ministerial and executive leadership to a broad program of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellowship of the ministers and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denominational and interdenominational projects and programs.

MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE
May 16-18, 1965 Boston, Massachusetts
The Old South Church Copley Square
The Church of The Covenant 67 Newbury Street
CONVOCATION OF THE LAITY May 16, 1965 3:00 P.M.
The opening worship led by the Rev. Dortha Weaver and Mr. Gordon Thorp was based on the Statement of Faith.
Mrs. Nelville B. Lord, president of the Women's Fellowship, and Mr. Raymond H. Frost, president of the Laymen's Council, presented "A New Vehicle: The Committee of the Laity" in which they described and explained the proposed amendment to the By-Laws of the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference which would create a Conference Committee of the Laity, replacing the Council for Lay Life and Work. The Women's Fellowship and the Laymen's Council, on the state level, would terminate as separate organiza- tions and transfer their functions to the new Committee of the Laity.
At the close of the presentation by Mrs. Lord and Mr. Frost, the Laymen's Council was called into a Business Session by Mr. Frost. Mr. Gulezian, secretary, then read the following Enabling Act and moved its adoption. The motion to adopt was seconded and after discussion, was carried.
Since, through the Committee of the Laity and its co-opted members (as described in the By-Laws amendment to be presented Monday, May 17, 1965), our interests and concerns will be preserved; and since we desire to be an integral part of the Conference; the Laymen's Council of the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference believes that the time has come to terminate its activities as a separate organization, at the state level, by setting aside its Constitution and transferring to the Conunittee of the Laity its functions and funds. Therefore, we recommend to this Annual Meeting that endorsing action supporting the amendment be taken in order to express more fuUy our oneness in Christ and to make more effective our common witness in Him and to serve His Kingdom in the church and in the world.
Mrs. Lord then called the Women's Fellowship into a Business Session. Mrs. Ames, clerk, then read the following Enabling Act and moved its adoption:
Since, through the Committee of the Laity and its co-opted members (as described in the By-Laws amendment to be presented Monday, May 17, 1965), our interests and concerns will be preserved; and since we desire to be an integral part of the Conference; the Women's Fellowship of the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference believes that the time has come to terminate its activities as a separate organization, at the state level, by setting aside its Working Rules and transferring to the Committee of the Laity its functions and funds. Therefore, we recommend to this Annual Meeting that endorsing action supporting the amendment be taken in order to express more

fully our oneness in Christ and to make more effective our common witness in Him and to serve His Kingdom in the church and in the world.
The motion to adopt was seconded; and after discussion, was carried. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Miss Gregory and Mr. Simpson then led the assembly in a service of Covenant and dedication. Dr. Penner, Conference President, closed the Convocation with an interpretive meditation.
At 6:30 P.M. supper was served in Old South Church and in the New England Life Hall.
At 8:00 P.M. there was a Musical Service in the Sanctuary of the Old South Church under the direction of Mr. Alfred Nash Patterson, Organist and Choir Director, Old South Church. Also, in Emmanuel Episcopal Church, the Chapel Players of the Old South Church presented "Barabas" by de Ghelderode, under the direction of Mr. Richard E. Arnold, Drama Director.
The 166th Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference was called to order by the Moderator, Mr. Albert 0. Wilson, Jr., of Lexington, at 8:45 A.M. on Monday, May 17, 1965, in the Old South Church, Copley Square, Boston.
The devotional service was led by the Chaplain, the Rev. Maurice 0. Mahler of Lynn.
The Moderator presented the Rev. Frederick M. Meek and the Rev. Sidney G. Menk of the Old South Church and the Church of the Covenant, respectively, the host churches. In addition to words of welcome, Dr. Meek invited all to the meetings of the 1969 General Synod of the United Church of Christ, to be held in Boston, at the time of the 300th anniversary of the Old South Church. Mr. Menk brought words of greetings and a welcome to all to attend the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church when it is held in Boston next Spring; The Church of the Covenant being a federation of the Congregational and Presbyterian churches.
The Moderator, Mr. Wilson, responded to the host ministers on behalf of the Annual Meeting, expressing delight and appreciation for the hospitality of both host churches.
The Moderator appointed the following committees :
Business Committee — The Rev. Ross Cannon, West Newton, Chairman; Mrs. Myron W. Bemis, Spencer; Mr. Earle J. Curfew, TuUy; Mrs. Sherman Frost, Littleton; Mr. Sidney F. Law, Longmeadow; Rev. Edmund W. Nutting, Rock- port; Rev. Harold R, Fray, Newton.
Credentials Committee — Rev. Herbert B. Morrell, Boston, Chairman; Mrs. Walter C. Falconer, East Milton; Miss Doris B. Hillsgrove, Watertown; Miss Margaret Scott, Boston.
Ushers — Rev. Earl E. Alger, Lawrence, Chairman; Rev. Rodney J. Case, Taunton; Rev. Rene J. M. Dawe, Swansea; Rev. David J. Dean, Springfield; Rev. Joseph B. DeLaurenlis, Brighton; Rev. Arthur E. Jehle, North Dart- mouth; Rev. James McCloy, Lawrence; Rev. William F. Moore, Leominster; Rev. Paul G. Pitman, Newtonville; Rev. Robert A. McWaid, Springfield; Rev. David F. Shire, Ipswich; Rev. George S. Worcester, W. Brookfield.
Dr. Robert L. Rasche, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, presented the following report : Mr. Moderator and Members of the 166th Annual Meeting of the Conference:
It has been a great personal pleasure for me to work in the Conference on
1965] Minutes 31
the Board of Trustees. The fellowship among the members of this repre- sentative body is enjoyable and the business considered and transacted at its meetings is both stimulating and productive.
Members of the Conference Staff are usually in attendance at Board meetings and give reports on their respective departments and their current work in progress. The composite picture of these reports thrills one with an awareness of the variety of important Christian services engaged in by our Conference and with a deep sense of appreciation of the Conference Staff in whose hands much of the administrative responsibility of our Conference work is laid. Represent- ing all of you let me express our thanks both to the Staff members and to the other members of the Board of Trustees for their dedication to and their concern for the work of the Conference.
Since our last annual meeting in Pittsfield, five regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees were held with an average of 22 Trustees present in addition to the Staff members. Business which comes before the Board of Trustees in most instances is considered by the General Conference Committee meeting a week or ten days before the Board meeting. This double considera- tion of items that are of prime importance leads to well-considered discussion and action.
Since much of the Conference business will be dealt with in connnection with other reports, let me include here only a few highlights of what we did.
After organizing the membership of the Board of various committee responsi- bilities, the Board voted to create a Committee of Fifteen broadly representative of the churches and the Board of Trustees to plan a Program of Advance. This Committee was appointed and four areas of study for action have been agreed on: 1. Urban Ministry. 2. Services to Older People. 3. Services to Youth and 4. the Conference and the Churches and Ministers. Details of these projects and goals will be presented at the annual meeting of the Conference in May, 1966.
On September 14 a Testimonial Dinner was given to honor the Rev. and Mrs. Raymond J. Cosseboom in appreciation of all they had done to develop the facilities at our Framingham Center. The Rev. Dexter B. Rice was welcomed as the new Director of the Center. The Trustees authorized the building of a new house for the Director and his family at the Center. Another new member of the Staff welcomed this year is Rev. Boardman W. Kathan as Associate in Christian Education. Miss Irene MacCauley was advanced to the status of Assistant to the President and Miss Mildred Walker to that of Assistant for the Council of Lay Life and Work.
The Trustees have guaranteed $22,000 for the Baldwinville Youth Center. This will be offset by direct gifts to Baldwinville work from the churches.
St. Mark Social Center has been facing many problems of adjustment and relocation caused by Boston's Redevelopment Program. In concern for the work at St. Mark, the Conference has given financial as well as moral support.
It was voted to recommend to the Conference that the Per Capita or Fellow- ship dues be $1.00 per member per year and for support of work and expenses by the Conference not covered from this source — work which broadly can be said to be missionary and promotional in character — that we retain from the O.C.W.M. giving an amount not to exceed $180,000.
A plan for group term insurance for ministers whose annuity dues are paid is hopefully to be in effect June 1, 1965. At a cost of $50 per year, the minister is insured for $10,000 until the age of 44, after which the amount diminishes to $1,000 at the age of 65 or thereafter. It was voted to recommend that the churches pay this insurance for the minister.
The relation of the Conference to the associations, churches and ministers has been the subject of frequent discussion. The Chairman of the Board was authorized in consultation with the President of tlae Conference to appoint a committee to make a study of the matter of Area Ministers, the Conference structure and function. This Committee was appointed from Board member-
32 Minutes [1965
ship and will report to the Board at its next meeting on June 16.
In conclusion let me say that the Minutes of the meetings of the Board are always available to church members at the Conference office.
Respectfully submitted Robert L. Rasche Chairm£in, Board of Trustees
It was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the report of the Chairman be received and placed on file.
The Moderator, Mr. Wilson, presented Mr. W. Elliott Pratt, Jr., Treasurer, for his report. Printed copies of this report were dis- tributed to delegates and guests. After interpretation and a question period, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the Treasurer's report be received and placed on file.
Dr. Myron W. Fowell presented the Advance Reports, copies of which had been previously mailed out to ministers, lay delegates and additional copies were passed out to guests at this meeting. Following brief comments, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That Advance Reports be accepted by the Annual Meeting.
The Moderator then presented Dr. Albert J. Penner, Minister and President of the Conference, who, in turn, introduced the Executive Staff. It was noted that two members of the staff had come to the Conference since the Annual Meeting in 1964, namely the Rev. Dexter B. Rice, Director of the Framingham Conference Center, and the Rev. Boardman W. Kathan, Associate minister of Christian Education.
Dr. Penner then read his President's report in which he highlighted not the past achievements but the needs and challenges of the future in the life and work of the Conference. The report was warmly received and it was moved and seconded and
VOTED: That the President's Report be accepted with acknowledgement for the wonderful year of dynamic leadership which the Conference has enjoyed.
The Moderator acknowledged Mr. Lincoln S. Cain, Pittsfield, who will serve as parliamentarian for this Annual Meeting.
Dr. Ross Cannon, Chairman of the Business Committee, presented a resolution on the Master Plan for Quality Public Education in Massachusetts for the consideration and action of the Annual Meet- ing. The Rev. Boardman W. Kathan, Associate in Christian Educa- tion, spoke on behalf of the resolution, explaining that a serious study of the Kiernan and Willis Reports had been made by our Conference Committee on Christian Education and the Combined Departments of Education of the Massachusetts Council of Churches. This resolution endorses the intent of the bill, HB 3950, which is before the Massachusetts Legislature this week, seeking to guarantee
1965J Minutes 33
quality education for every child in the Commonwealth. Following additional comments and discussion, it was moved and seconded and
VOTED:
WHEREAS, our Congregational churches historically have had a major concern for the support of general education for every child through the public school, and
WHEREAS, recent studies have uncovered the problems of high school drop-outs, racial imbalance, and economic and cultural deprivation, and
WHEREAS, there is a great need for a Board of Public Education with power to enforce certain minimal standards in regard to hours, subjects and the like, as well as a need for greatly increased vocational education and for the expansion and coordination of public higher education;
Therefore be it RESOLVED, that we support the Master Plan for quality pubUc education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts embodied in House Bill 3950, which is at the present time before the State Legislature. We commend the Legislature for establishing the Special Commission on Education, under the chairmanship of State Senator Kevin B. Harrington and directed by Superintendent Benjamin C. WiUis of Chicago. And we urge the people of our churches to contact immediately their individual representatives to express support of this biU.
Dr. Rasche, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, presented the recommendations of the Board of Trustees to the Annual Meeting. Prior to any necessary votes, the proposed budget for 1966 was distributed for the information of the Annual Meeting and the Treasurer, Mr. Pratt, spoke on this matter. It was observed that the Conference budget has increased 75% over the past six years. It was agreed that the matter of support of the Conference budget should be studied by an appropriate committee, perhaps anticipating the needs of the next five years and how best to meet the financial requirements of these needs. After considerable discussion, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That on 1966 the Conference retain from Our Christian World Mission receipts a sum not to exceed $180,000.
It was further moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the Per Capita dues for 1966 be $1.00 per member.
Dr. Rasche then read the proposed amendment to the By-Laws relating to the newly created Committee of the Laity. During the ensuing discussion, it was agreed that the matter of the number of representatives from the Metropolitan Boston Association should be referred to the Committee of the Laity for future decision. Follow- ing discussion, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: The following amendment to the Conference By-Laws be adopted:
Amend Article X, adding item (m) as below, so replacing Article VIH, Sections 1, 2, and 3, which are to be deleted, the Conference Trustees being instructed to bring relevant sections of the By-Laws into harmony with the provisions of this amendment.
ARTICLE X
2. COMMITTEES
(m) A Committee of the Laity, the whole people of God, consisting of an executive group of 22 members-at-large, geographically representative, nomi-
34 Minutes [1965
nated by the Conference Nominating Committee; and 3 members from each association, persons of special competence, a lay man, a lay woman, and a member of the clergy, nominated by the executive committee of each associa- tion, shall be elected for a three year term at the annucil meeting. Executive members' terms shall be rotated by means of year classes, and association members' terms may be three consecutive years, without additional re-elective privileges. Should an association fail to nominate persons, nominations for that association will be supplied by the executive group of this committee. The committee shall elect its own chairman, vice-chairmen, secretary, and com- mission, and/or sub-committee chairmen annually.
It shall be the responsibility of this committee to increase, develop, and coordinate the activities and participation of Christian men and women, to interpret the theology of the laity, to enable the renewal of the laity, and to explore new forms of ministry to the world through studies in Christian Faith, Life and Work. Area assemblies of grouped associations may be used in study, planning, and training to share ideas, purposes, programs, projects and new ventures within the associations, and/or districts, local churches and groups, whereby new understanding of the true mission of the laity will be implemented.
The Conference Committee of the Laity may co-opt persons of special competence as it deems wise and helpful to provide resources, information, and guidance for association, district and local church groups, to the end that growth experience in worship, study and service may be nurtured for: (1) laity in the church, (2) the church addressing itself in mission, and (3) the laity at work in the world. The Conference Committee of the Laity will continue the work formerly carried on by the Laymen's Council and The Women's Fellowship.
Following announcements, the Chaplain, Mr. Mahler, led in die singing of a hymn and a prayer.
The Annual Meeting recessed for luncheon at 12:30 P.M. Ac- commodation luncheons were held in the Old South Church and the New England Life Hall.
At 2:00 P.M., the Annual Meeting delegates and guests met in the Church of the Covenant for an audio-visual presentation of ten Conference Committees, each Committee telling in three minutes something of the problem, program and promise of its work. Dr. Albert J. Penner was the coordinator. Following this presentation, the delegates and guests were free for the next two hours to visit the detailed and interesting exhibits of all Committees in the Church of the Covenant and the Old South Church. There were art and photography exhibits, a sample "coffee house," opportunities for dialogue between committee members and conferees, short, continued visual-taped reports of the work of Committees. All exhibits were coordinated under the theme "Voices of the City."
A reception for Dr. and Mrs. Penner and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson was held from 6:00-7:00 P.M. in the Hall of Mirrors of the Sheraton- Boston Hotel. At 7:00 P.M., the Fellowship Dinner was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton-Boston Hotel. Among the head table
1965] Minutes 35
guests were the Rev. Father Robert F. Quinn, Director of the Institute for Religious Understanding of the Paulist Fathers and Dr. Alford Carleton, Executive Vice President of the Board for World Ministries. Mr. Albert 0.

We hereby oommend those of our ministers and lay people who accepted the invitations of southern church leaders and responded by participating in recent civil rights demonstrations and activities in Selma and Montgomery.

We are especially grateful for the non-violent leadership emphasis of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other outstanding national and local leaders in the civil rights movement. Their constant references to Biblical experiences setting forth Judeo-Christian ideals help greatly to strengthen the foundations of freedom and to make life more meaningful for all our people.

VOTED: That the resolution on the United Nations be adopted as follows:
WHEREAS, 1965 marks the 20th anniversary of the United Nations, and,

WHEREAS, the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson, and the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, John A. Volpe, have urged the citizens of our nation and state to join in these activities, and,
WHEREAS, the United Nations has served well the cause of humanity and the aspirations of the people of the world, through its peace-keeping work and related agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, ILO, MONETARY FUND, WORLD BANK, and others), and
WHEREAS, the President of the United States has called for a White House Conference on International Cooperation, November 29-December 1, 1965:
Therefore be it RESOLVED:
1) That the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference record its continued support of the United Nations and its related instrumentalities, and

1965] Minutes 37
WHEREAS, the Massachusetts Crime Commission has just released its report documenting the spread of corruption in our Commonwealth,
Be it therefore RESOLVED, that we express our thanks to the Crime Commission for its comprehensive and courageous action and report, and
Be it further RESOLVED, that we thank the Massachusetts Legislature for defeating the several bills offered to legalize off-track betting, beano, and lotteries for the support of local charities, and that we urge the defeat of the state lottery and sweepstakes bills still pending, and
Be it further RESOLVED, that the Legislature be urged to take whatever remedial action is necessary based upon the Crime Commission's report, and
Be it further RESOLVED, that we urge the continuation of the Crime Commission for a period of one year or whatever time is necessary to complete the task it has been empowered to do.
Be it further RESOLVED, that we call upon the people of our churches to involve themselves more effectively in the educational, legislative, law enforce- ment, and Christian action approaches to the control of crime and corruption in our society.

The Rev. Harold R. Fray presented the resolution on A More Just and Equitable Tax Structure. After brief comments, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the resolution on A More Just and Equitable Tax Structure be adopted as follows:
WHEREAS, increasing demands are being made upon state and local tax programs, due in peirt to ever enlarging needs and desires for public services and in part to the increasing percentage of the population in the less productive age bracket, and
WHEREAS, there has developed in recent years in Massachusetts an over- reliance on property taxes so that our Commonwealth shares with New Jersey the distinction of having the highest property taxes in the nation, and
WHEREAS, the support of education in Massachusetts rests largely on local property taxes, and
WHEREAS, property taxes do not produce or share revenue equitably or adequately, due to variations in the local bases for assessments and in the percentages of non-taxable property (40% in Boston) causing statewide inequalities in educational opportunity and discrimination against children in the poorer communities as in our capital city of Boston,
Therefore be it RESOLVED, that we encourage our Governor and our legislators to discover a more just and adequate basis for a tax structure based upon ability to pay and reflecting the economic life of this Com- monwealth (which ranks 9th among the states in per-capita income) , and
Be it further RESOLVED, that we urge upon all our people the recognition and acceptance of our fair share of the necessary tax burden and the acceptance with pride of the responsibility to help provide equitable and adequate education for all our children, along with other public services needed by the elderly, the afflicted and otherwise needy persons in our Commonwealth.

VOTED: That the resolution on Further Ecumenical Activity be adopted as printed :
WHEREAS, in response to Christ's prayer for unity, the ecumenical move- ment is a "great fact" in our time, and
WHEREAS, Protestant cooperation, although a forward step in a previous period of the church's life, is no longer enough, and
WHEREAS, the present arrangement of the several denominations having staff positions and functional areas which overlap many times leads to ineflSciency, to a witness of disunity, and even competitiveness;
Therefore be it RESOLVED, that we call on the Trustees of the Massa- chusetts Congregational Christian Conference, or such comnuttees as it shall designate, to explore new ecumenical forms for our ministry at the conference level, and report its findings to the 1966 Annual Meeting of the Conference.

The Rev. Edward Blackman of Roxbury was given time to speak on behalf of the people of Roxbury who are so deeply affected by the indecision and unwillingness of the Boston School Committee to recognize the parents and leaders of Roxbury who wish to discuss de facto situations in Roxbury schools. He called on all ministers and lay people in the Greater Boston area to support their fellowmen in this struggle for justice and equality. He warned that the whole non-violent tradition in Boston is being put on the line in this unjust action of the Boston School Committee.

Mr. Wilson presented the gavel to the newly elected Moderator, the Rev. Paul D. Tiller of Natick, who accepted it with humility and appreciation.
The Chaplain led in the closing prayer and benediction.
Gracious Father as we come to the close of this Conference, we know that all we have to offer Thee is as nothing without Thee; we thank Thee for the information, the challenge, the inspiration of these days together. With faith and hope and love we pray that Thou wilt baptize Thy church afresh with the life-giving spirit of Christ. Grant her a new sense of mission, a new birth, that in the midst of the city cries, she shall hear Thy voice, O Son of Man. Let us be workers together with Thee here on earth until through Jesus Christ we be gathered in an unbroken fellowship in that greater life beyond the bourns of time. We pray in the name of HIM whose name is above every name, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The meeting adjourned at 3:05 P.M.
Tours of centers of urban renewal followed dismissal.

48 Report of the Treasurer ^^^H [1965
May 7, 19(>5
The Reverend Albert J. Penner, D.D., President Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference Boston, Massachusetts
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachitsetts Congregational Christian Conference and of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, Trustee, as at December 31, 1964, and the related statements of income for the year ended at that date. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at December 31, 1964, were verified by inspection or confirmation, and the cash in banks and in ofiice by certificate or count.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of income present fairly the financial position of the Conference and of the Conference as Trustee, respectively, at December 31, 1964, and the results of their operations for the year ended at that date, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregationeil Christian Conference 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 donors, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice of the Con- ference 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 Con- tingent 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 ex- pended 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 Christiem Conference pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

The City Missionary Society has been the social service arm of Congrega- tional churches in Metropolitan Boston since 1816. It now has an important place in the life of the Metropolitan Boston Association, whose constitution refers to the Society as "a recognized instrumentality of the Metropolitan Boston Association."
CMS holds membership in the Family Service Section of the Greater Bos- ton Community Council, The American Conference of Social Work, and the New England Camping Association. Its ten missionary social workers are attached to Congregational churches in the inner city, and they work closely with public and private social agencies.
The Society's social workers are aided by many volunteers who engage in numerous useful services of visitation, teaching, manual labor, etc. The CMS' Consultant in Christian Education aids inner city churches in programs of leadership education. Through her supervision of "Friendly Town" activities she also helps many small commimities to understand inner city people by arranging for them to become "hosts" to city children for two-week summer vacations.
The Society's summer camping programs provide meaningful activity for children of all ages and for adult members of low-income families. Camps Andover-Waldron on Lake Winnisquam, in Meredith, N. H., are open to children 9-16 years of age. They provide opportunities for interracial and intercultural contacts in a Christian setting. Family camps and week-end re- treats for church groups are held under CMS sponsorship at the Farrington Memorial property in Lincoln, Mass.
CMS receives no income from United Funds, nor from the denominational OCWM. Principal support comes from Congregational churches in Metropoli- tan Boston,, from interested individuals and trust funds, and from endowment. Much aid in relief work comes from the Howard Benevolent Society. More than a hundred churches and Sunday Schools regularly aid with collections of food, clothing, and furniture.
The Society's income in the fiscal year ending October 31, 1964 was $224,468. Of this amount 20.4% ($46,693) was contributed by 98 of the 114 churches of the Metropolitan Boston Association. Forty-nine churches of other associ- ations and denominations gave $923. The City Missionary Society was in- corporated in 1820. Its corporate members are nearly all members of churches of the Metropolitan Boston Association.

THE CONGREGATIONAL LIBRARY OF THE AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION
(Proprietor of the Congregational House) Room 207, 14 Beacon Street, Boston
The Congregational Library was founded in 1853 to gather and preserve books, pamphlets and manuscripts on Congregational history and to promote the general interests of Congregational churches. In addition to the historic collection on Congregationalism the library has important collections of Bibles, in a variety of languages and versions, hymnals, and histories of local churches and towns. New books, with the exception of fiction, are purchased every week in the fields of: preaching and pastoral work, philosophy and theology, Biblical commentary, church history, religious education, worship and devotion, missions and the ecumenical movement, church arts and architecture, denominations, sects, and world religions, social problems, and biography.
These resources, approximately 200,000 books and pamphlets, are available to ministers, lay preachers, church officers, church school teachers, students, and all interested in reading for enrichment of life. Books are mailed without charge to aU parts of the United States. A letter or postcard giving author, title or the subject of books desired, will receive prompt attention. The Library is open for study and research Monday through Friday, 9-5. A copy of a leaflet, "The Congregational Library" and the Bulletin will be sent to those writing for further information.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE
Grants for the aid of churches and certain other types of work are made by the Conference through the Board of Trustees, following recommendation by the Grants Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The Grants Committee considers applications for grants to local churches (to strengthen the ministry of the church); to hospital chaplaincies; to week-day religious education programs in certain churches; to St. Mark Social Center; to other interdenominational projects in Massachusetts; and other work as need arises. In co-operation with the Committee on Campus Ministries it also receives applications for grants for student work both on campus and in churches near campuses.
Requests for grants come to the committee through the member of the Conference executive staff who is particularly concerned either with the area or the type of work.
Grants to local churches are made under the following circumstances:
1. Where 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 a church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local association of churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid, different amounts will be appropriated according to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the Area Minister or President before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. When 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.
The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and worker.
The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the avoid- ance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con- ference grants in the year 1964 by placing the reference "§" before the names of these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled, "Associations of Churches and Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year the letter "d" appears. Special grants are listed on page 58.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions, removals, Sunday school membership, 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 National Year Book ;
2. The Associations of Churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment";
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address (or in some cases, the political township) , and a cross reference 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, 1965. Admissions and removals cover the year 1964. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and scholars January 1, 1965, 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 Ln the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the "Minutes" of each year. Months and days in the dates of ordination of Congregational ministers may be found in the lists of the local associations which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are;
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
Reference marks are used as follows: y Pastor serves more than one church. — Where no answer can be given.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday school and young people's organizations, also home expense, are inserted from the previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Amount of "Local Expenses" includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating expenses and repairs for church, Sunday school, choir and parish.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church. Figures pertaining to Church School enrollment, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the churches grouped together in the federated church.
