HISTORICAL SKETCH
'l"he 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 staff 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.

CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE

PiTTSFiELD, Massachusetts
COUNCIL FOR LAY LIFE AND WORK
May 17, 1964 3:00 P.M.
The Sunday afternoon program preceding the official sessions of the 165th Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference was sponsored by Sie Massachusetts Council for Lay Life and Work, and was designed to include all laymen, women, and ministers of the Conference. The Rev. R. Berwyn Daniel, chairman of the Council's steering committee, presided.
The following materials were distributed: Printed reports of the Council for Lay Life and Work, Report of the Director of The Women's Fellowship, the Central Area Associate Minister (who is also Director of the Laymen's Council), the President of The Women's Fellowship, and the President of the Laymen's Council.
In addition, the distribution included Minutes of the last Annual Meetings of The Women's Fellowship and the Laymen's Council; nominating committee reports for both of these organizations; the annual report of The Women's Fellowship executive committee; reports of the Laymen's Council treasurer and the trustees of the Laymen's Larger Fellowship Fund; and finally, reports of two coordinated areas: Adventures in Reading, and Material Aid.
THE WOMEN'S FELLOWSHIP
Following the opening hymn and the Constituting Prayer, Mr. Daniel intro- duced Mrs. Nelville B. Lord, president of The Women's Fellowship, who presided over the brief business session of tlie Fellowship's annual meeting. The report of the nominating committee was made by Mrs. Lester G. Myers, chair- man. The proposed slate was accepted and the officers duly elected. The president and vice-president of The Women's Fellowship are elected by the Conference in regular session. Attention was called to the printed reports, which expedited the business session.
COORDINATED WORK
The following reports, representing coordinated work, were made by Mrs. Lord and Mr. Raymond H. Frost, president of the Laymen's Council : Mr. Frost: Material Aid
December 7th Worcester Convocation, the first state-wide meeting under the auspices of the Massachusetts CLLW Mrs. Lord: Family Thank Offering Adventures in Reading
THE LAYMEN'S COUNCIL
Mr. Frost presided over a brief business session for the Laymen's Council, calling attention to the printed reports and introducing the secreteiry, treasurer, the chairman of the Laymen's Larger Fellowship Fund, and the chairman of
32 Minutes [1964
communications. Mr. Earle I. Clemence presented the report of the nominating committee, to be recommended to the Conference for election.
Dr. Albert J. Penner, Minister and President of the Massachusetts Congrega- tional Conference, addressed the meeting on the subject, "Changed Christians Challenge Church and Community." He urged that rather than being pre- occupied "with what goes on inside our churches," church people should be concerned with "how our churches can serve and save the world," and added that "the trivial, parochial, unimaginative, conservative, complacent, circum- scribed temper of many local churches" was responsible for the decision of many seminary students to choose professions other than the local parish.
To the gathered laity (laymen, women, and ministers) Dr. Penner proposed that "our churches need to be shaken, roused, changed, and Christians who have caught the vision and are not afraid of a new idea, or a new way to go, must lead in the challenge."
At 4:30 P.M. a presentation entitled "Our Changing Churches — A Sample Showcase" featured some of our Massachusetts churches where new ventures have been explored in an effort to learn, witness, and experience, as individuals and groups, some of the new concepts suggested as possibilities for Christian growth.
Second Congregational Church at Palmer was represented by the Rev. Guthrie R. Swartz and Mr. Walter Cameron. Mr. Cameron related a change in direction experienced by their church's council. With the title, "From Service to Self to Service to Commimity," he demonstrated an actual case study of a church which decided to use funds which had previously been designated for improve- ment of church property to a cause which would serve a wider community need. Mr. Swartz shared a series of events in the life of a layman who with his family decided he should prepare for full-time ministry. Sponsored by the Palmer church, he is now attending Bangor Theological Seminary.
The Rev. and Mrs. Eugene Meyer of the Auburndale Congregational Church spoke of three new phases of church life: study groups, an Arts Festival, and a "resident Theologian" as means of relating the present day social and cultural impact to tlie needs of persons.
With the intriguing title, "The Lady Spoke Her Mind," the Rev. Warren H. Johnson, minister of Centerville Congregational Church, told of an about-face which changed the church's course from commercial money-raising projects to an emphasis on stewardship, as the result of a pungent remark by one woman in a church group meeting.
The Rev. T. Chipman Day and Mr. Robert Prescott reported on a program combining many of the activities of the Congregational Church and the Metho- dist Church in Lunenburg, under what is known as the United Parish of Lunenburg, as well as a Community Council which deals with all new problems facing the greater Lunenburg area.
"Interfaith Openhouse" was the title under which the Rev. Douglas M. Mac- intosh explained affairs which have created a spirit of new understanding and cooperation involving his church, Village Congregational Church at Whitinsville.
Although successful ventures have been engaged in at the First Congregational Church in Wilmington, the Rev. Robert E. Sanders, who had been assigned the title, "A Lively Pattern of Parish Participation," relinquished his time since, as he said, much of what he would have reported had been accomplished by the other reporters. His generous spirit left unmentioned the large number of small study groups in Wilmington and a special retreat at Craigville where the participants will focus their attention on Salty Christians, a booklet containing working papers used by Hans Rudi Weber with groups of laymen at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey.
The meeting was adjourned for dinner at 6:00 P.M.

MONDAY, MAY 18, 1964
The 165th Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference was called to order by the Moderator, the Rev. Dr. Kenneth R. Henley, Greenfield, at 8:45 A.M.
The devotional service was led by the Chaplain, the Rev. Pierson P. Harris. Westwood.
The Moderator called on the Rev. E. Roy Burchell, minister of the First Church of Christ, Pittsfield, who brought the greetings of the host churches. Mr. Burchell then introduced the Honorable Robert B. Dillon, Mayor, who welcomed the Conference on behalf of the City of Pittsfield. The Moderator responded to Mr. Burchell and Mr. Dillon expressing appreciation for their warm cordiality. He also expressed to Mr. Burchell the appreciation of the Conference for the beautiful service of music on Sunday evening.
The Moderator appointed the following Committees :
Business Committee — The Rev. Paul D. Tiller, Natick, Chairman; Rev. Harold R. Fray, Jr., Newton; Mrs. Harold F. Johnson, Longmeadow; Mr. Howard Kemp, Shrewsbury-; Rev. J. Alan MacLean, Pittsfield; Mrs. James L. Spates, West Springfield.
Credentials Committee — The Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, HI, Stockbridge, Chairman; Mrs. Edmund J. Flynn, Mrs. Peter B. Whittemore, Mrs. Willard C. Yeats, Pittsfield.
Ushers and Tellers — The Rev. Arthur F. White, Boxford, Chairman; Rev. Earl E. Alger, Salem; Rev. James Carmichael, Ludlow; Rev. Duane A. Cossart, Worcester; Rev. Roy W. Hoover, Uxbridge; Rev. Charles H. Harper, Newton; Rev. Norman G. Helm, Worcester; Rev. Deane R. Lanphear, Acton; Rev. William F. Moore, Leominster; Rev. Donald Overlock, Peabody; Rev. David B. Wells, Northampton.
The Moderator appointed Mr. Lincoln S. Cain, Pittsfield, parlia- mentarian.
Mr. George F. Bickford, Grafton, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, presented the following report:
Mr. Moderator and Members of the 165th Annual Meeting of the Conference: I have found my term as Trustee, including the past year as Chairman, an extremely rewarding experience. Acquaintance with the personnel at 14 Beacon Street leaves me with the impression that the affairs of the Conference are in capable hands of dedicated people. This refers both to my fellow trustees and to the well-chosen staff, whose reports are an interesting and instructive feature of every Trustees' meeting.
Since the Conference met in Wellesley, the Board of Trustees has held five scheduled meetings averaging twenty trustees in attendance, acting in every case on motions prepared by the General Conference Committee, and transacting all the financial business incident to the existence of the Conference as a corporate body.
Appropriations have been made for the improvement of Conference property. Notable among these was a loan of $20,000 to the Christian Camp Meeting Association to purchase a desirable addition of land adjoining our Craigville Center both for protection and possible future use. Much needed interior
34 Minutes [1964
alterations to the Edwards House at Framingham and an enclosed passageway to the dining room accounted for $2,300.00. Those able to avail themselves of the facilities at that Center will appreciate the improvements.
Grants to churches and qualified institutions, processed by the Grants Com- mittee and authorized by the Trustees, amounted to about $70,000.
The inception of two projects in the state aimed at building and operating self-supporting, church-sponsored homes for the aging prompted the Trustees to prepare criteria for the guidance of groups seeking church sponsorship for such projects, the idea being to provide suitable apartments where elderly people can live with congenial surroundings and with the feeling that their church is concerned with their physical and spiritual well-being.
Accepted with regret were the resignations of the Rev. Paul B. Myers as Minister of Christian Education and Mr. Charles Fowlston as Church Finance Advisor to permit both to accept urgent calls to apply their great talents in local churches. The Rev. Horace Seldon was duly elected to succeed the Rev. Mr. Myers and it was voted to leave the office of Church Finance Advisor vacant for the present.
Arrangements were concluded with the Board of Ministerial Aid to provide payment of one-half the premium on Health Insurance for qualified retired ministers under a plan available to them. This does not involve a vast sum but, such as it is, it will be a blessing to a most deserving group.
It was voted to commend to our churches the support of certain United Church of Christ Health and Welfare Institutions (Ryder Memorial Hospital, Puerto Rico; Back Bay Mission, Biloxi, Mississippi; Children's Home, Elon, North Carolina; Emmaus Homes, Missouri) and to authorize Dr. Penner to enter into conversation with the Board for Homeland Ministries regarding its possible participation in Massachusetts Home Mission projects. The effect should be to broaden the home mission outreach of the local church.
Minutes of meetings are available for further details.
Later in this meeting, the Trustees will present several specific matters for Conference action.
Respectfully submitted,
George F. Bickford Chairman, Board of Trustees
It was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the report of the Chairman be received and placed on file.
Mr. W. Elliott Pratt, Jr., Treasurer, presented the Treasurer's report and printed copies of the report were circulated. The Treasurer made a brief comparative study of figures for 1963 and 1964 and answered questions from the floor. Mr. Pratt also spoke on behalf of the Massachusetts Congregational Fund which was established twenty years ago to provide a vehicle for the investment of Conference funds and those of such churches within the Conference which indicate a desire to place funds within the Fund for investment.
It was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the Treasurer's report be received and placed on file.
Dr. Myron W. Fowell, Secretary^ presented the Advance Reports which had been printed and mailed to all ministers and those dele- gates whose names had been received by the Conference office prior to the annual meeting.
It was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That Advance Reports be received and placed on file as printed.

The Rev. Baldwin W. Callahan presented Mrs. Andrew A. Lane of Maiden and three young people and a minister, Jill Frye, Sudbury; Prudence Lyons, Milford; John Mark Blowen, Athol; and the Rev. David B. Hanna, Waterbury, Connecticut, who described vividly and vivaciously their experience in Israel and Greece in the summer of 1963.

Harris, for luncheon and afternoon seminars by the following Committees: Christian Educa- tion, Christian Social Action, Campus Ministries, Evangelism, Chris- tian Unity, Missions and Stewardship, Urban Church Ministry.
Following the luncheon Dr. William K. Newman, Executive Secre- tary of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, spoke about the Fund and the Lay Workers' Retirement Fund. Additional mem- bers of the Annuity Fund Staff, the Rev. Harold N. Skidmore and Mrs. Alma K. Quimby, were present for consultation in the office provided for this purpose in the First Church.
At 4:25 p.m., the Moderator reconvened the business session with a prayer by the Chaplain and the singing of a hymn. He then turned the meeting over to the Rev. Paul D. Tiller, Chairman of the Business Committee, who called to the chancel the Rev. and Mrs. Clifford Kuzwayo from Durban; South Africa. Mr. Kuzwayo is the Executive Secretary of the Bantu Congregational Church of South Africa and he brought the greetings of his church.

The Rev. Henry H. Clark, Lexington, Chairman of the Steering Committee on New Life in the Churches, presented a report of the work and plans of that Committee. Appreciation was expressed to the 184 churches which have used the materials prepared by the Committee, to the Association Coordinators who have assisted the Committee, and hope was expressed that many more churches will become involved in this emphasis during the coming year as the Committee seeks to find new ways of implementing the materials and encouraging the churches in their use.
The Rev. Robert H. Barber, Concord, Chairman of the Committee on Christian Unity, earnestly requested that each church designate a Christian Unity representative and to inform the chairman of this action. The Committee on Christian Unity is anxious to be able to
1964] Minutes 37
keep each church informed of developments, study, and seminar opportunities.
The Business Committee then presented, for second consideration, the Resolution on Poverty which was adopted as follows:
RESOLUTION ON POVERTY
fFHEREAS, we concur with the statement of the General Board of the National Council of Churches in its judgment that:
"We have been confronted by undeniable and shocking massive poverty in the midst of a national economy which boasts of its affluence and which possesses technological skills and productivity capable of providing adequate levels of living for our total population." and,
WHEREAS, it has long been scientifically established that much poverty is attributable to the structure of society rather than the fault of the victims, and,
WHEREAS, there is direct relation between poverty and the rate of popula- tion growth, and,
WHEREAS, the moral integrity of a society depends not alone on what it does for the strong and the affluent, but upon the opportunity for growth and development which it makes possible for the weakest and the poorest of its members, and,
WHEREAS, we can close our eyes to present poverty only by smothering the spark of real religion within our hearts and minds ;
Therefore, be it RESOLVED: That we urge the members of our churches to:
(1) Look anew at the whole problem of poverty, its causes and effects, and to organize study and action programs accordingly,
(2) Give special consideration to the problem as it relates to racial or minority groups in their own communities,
(3) Bring influence to bear upon local authorities for more strict enforce- ment of existing laws designed to correct and prevent the development of slum conditions and the exploitation of slum tenants,
(4) Support President Johnson and the federal government in the develop- ment of wise and effective procedure to attack the problem of poverty on a national and world basis, and,
(5) Encourage family planning as a means of effectual population control.
Following full discussion, the Resolution on Civil Disobedience was adopted as follows: (281 — Yes, 57 — No).
STATEMENT ON CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
The goal of individual Christian action in secular society is to move the state toward the fulfillment of God's justice. This goal can only be accom- plished by working constantly to improve and purify law and, when occasion requires, through civil disobedience to unjust laws.
All men owe a loyalty to the state as a structure existing for the estab- lishment of justice, security, order and general welfare. The Christian, however, owes his superior allegiance to God as revealed by Jesus Christ. The Christian will always be concerned, therefore, that his government and its laws should move toward a fulfillment of God's justice in the community
38 Minutes [1964
rather than prove destructive of God's justice and of every ultimate respect for law.
When it is the Christian's sincere conviction that any law, or existing application of the law, is at variance with the purposes of God, he is obliged, in conscience, to seek redress. He should utilize such avenues as are available to this end. When, after prayerful consideration and after such other avenues of redress have been reasonably pursued, there appears no possibility of justice save in the abrogation of an apparently unjust law, he will refuse to obey that law. He will then willingly accept the penalty for such disobedience.
Any man is obliged to remember that law exists for the community, that anarchy is destructive of social order and values, and that individual judg- ments are fallible and tainted with self-interest and self-righteousness. In this situation the Christian knows that his decisions are made under the judgment of God and as part of his life vdthin the Christian church. He is able and obliged to pray for God's guidance and to take counsel with other Christians in order to weigh his own convictions and proposed action by their advice. In their turn, they are boimd to hold him in fellowship, respecting his right to sincerely held convictions and refusing to permit his actions to break the relations in any areas of spiritual or financial resource.
The business session was adjourned at 5:45 p.m. and the Fellow- ship Dinner was held at 6:15 p.m. in the Boys' Club Gymnasium. Following dinner, Dr. Albert J. Penner introduced those ministers present who had been ordained during the past year and those ministers who had come to the Conference during the year 1963-64. Dr. Myron W. Fowell recognized those ministers who are celebrating their 50th year of ordination, and the Rev. Clifford D. Newton of North Orange and the Rev, John J. Romolo of Somerville responded with brief remarks.
The evening program began at 7:45 p.m. in the First Church of Christ, Pittsfield, and Dean Walter G. Muelder, Boston University School of Theology, gave the main address on the subject, "Our Behavior in a Time of Turmoil." Immediately following, three Reactors, Mr. Leonard D. Allen, Needham; Rev. Dr. Charles W. Barnes, Springfield; Rev. P. Jesu Rathnam, Middlefield, gave their views. A special offering of $460.00 for Racial Justice Now was received after a brief word of explanation from the Rev. David S. King, Amherst.
The evening program adjourned at 9:45 p.m. following a prayer and hymn led by the Chaplain.
The Annual Meeting reconvened at 8 :45 p.m. on Tuesday morning, May 19th, in South Congregational Church, Pittsfield. The Moderator called on the Chaplain to begin the meeting with a hymn and prayer.
Miss Helen Huntington Smith, Executive Secretary of the Council for Lay Life and Work of the United Church of Christ, gave the opening address on the topic, "What Difference Does It Make?"
1964] Minutes 39
At 9:30 a.m., the business session was called to order and Mr. Sidney F, Law, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, presented the report of that Committee. The printed ballot was distributed to all delegates and they were requested to write in one new nomination : the Rev. Dexter B. Rice, Director of the Framingham Conference Center (to be a member of the Conference Executive Staff) . The mimeographed reports of nominations for committee appointments were circulated and it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That nominations for Conference Committees and Delegates be closed and that the Secretary cast on© ballot for this slate as printed.
The report of voting on the printed ballot would be announced later in the meeting.
The business session continued and the Rev. Paul D. Tiller, Chair- man of the Business Committee, called on the Rev. Harold R. Fray, Jr., a member of that committee, to present the Resolution on the Becker Amendment. Following comment by Mr. Fray, the Moderator gave equal time for presentation of both sides of the question. Four formal presentations were given. There was additional discussion from the floor. After further detailed consideration, the Resolution on the Becker Amendment was adopted (201 — Yes, 79— <No) as follows :
RESOLUTION ON THE BECKER AMENDMENT
WHEREAS, we recognize and sympathize with the deep concern of all parents that the Christian nurture of their children takes place in an atmos- phere of responsible freedom, and,
WHEREAS, freedom of religion is adequately guaranteed in the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States as inter- preted by the Supreme Court, and,
JFHEREAS, the Supreme Court decisions in respect to religious practices in schools (June 1962 and June 1963) reflect a realistic understanding of the pluralistic character of our society, in which no single group, whether majority or minority, ourselves or any otliers, should have the power to impose its religious beliefs and practices on other groups, and,
WHEREAS, we believe the wording of the complete majority decision shows a deep sensitive insight into the honored place of religion in our heritage and future ;
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, tliat the Massachusetts Congregational Chris- tian Conference supports the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in respect to the use of prayer and Bible reading in the public schools, and
Be it further RESOLVED, that we petition our representatives in Wash- ington to oppose all the present resolutions before Congress to change the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Consitution, and,
Be it further RESOLVED, that the Conference understands that these decisions place the responsibility for the Christian nurture of our children squarely in the hands of church and home where it rightfully belongs.
The Moderator announced that the slate of officers as they appeared on the printed ballots had been elected. (283 ballots)

Dr. Myron W. Fowell reported on his recent trip to Washington, D. C, on behalf of the Civil Rights Bills and his appreciation for the work of our Congressmen and Senators in the Civil Rights issue. He urged the churches and church members to encourage these civil servants with letters and other communications, and especially to contact several Senators whose votes are needed to invoke cloture and cease debate on the bill.
The Rev. Paul D. Tiller, Chairman of the Business Committee, presented the Rev. Cirilio del Carmen of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines who brought the greetings of his church. In response, the following was adopted and sent to the Philippines:
VOTED: That the following greeting be sent to the United Church of Christ in the Philippines: Greetings to the United Church of Christ in the Philippines: In response to the greetings brought to us by the Rev. Cirilio del Carmen, the delegates to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference of the United Church of Christ, meeting in Pittsfield, Massachu- setts, May 17-19, 1964, send greetings to the delegates of the District Con- ference of Northern Mindanao, of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, meeting May 25-30, 1964.
We are happy to be joined in Christian fellowship with our brethren in the Western Pacific, knowing that we are bound together through our Lord Jesus Christ in the bonds of love and in the common purposes of His Kingdom.

WHEREAS, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, First Baptist Church. First Methodist Church, Zion Lutheran Church, First Church of Christ, Scientist, Temple Anshe Amonim and the Boys' Club have cooperated with our host churches in making available their respective facilities for conference meet- ings, and,
IFHEREAS, the conference staff has worked, faithfully and successfully, to present for our thought, vision and inspiration a program for renewing our life in the Church, and,
WHEREAS, our Chaplain, guest speakers, the Oratorio Choir of First Church and Minister of Music and all other leaders have given of their time so generously;
Be it RESOLVED, that the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Con- ference here vote a most sincere expression of gratitude to everyone who has contributed in any way to the outstanding experience of Christian fellowship we have enjoyed in this meeting, and,
Be it further RESOLVED, that this resolution be adopted by a rising vote of appreciation.
The retiring Moderator requested the newly-elected Moderator, Mr. Albert 0. Wilson, Jr., to come to the chancel and the gavel was presented to Mr. Wilson. In a few words, Mr. Wilson thanked the Conference for the honor placed on his shoulders and asked all members of the Conference, with him, to accept the cost of disciple- ship and in some significant way to recognize that God was in Christ reconciling the world to His way. Mr. Wilson assumed the Chair.
A rising vote of thanks was given the Moderator in appreciation of his services and to Mr. Lincoln S. Cain for his service as parliamentarian.
At 10:45 a.m. President Roger Hazelton, Oberlin Graduate School of Theology, gave the closing address on the subject, "The Church's Involvement in a Time of Turmoil."

Brallier of North Adams gave the Communion meditation and mem- bers of the Executive Staff served as deacons.
The following is the closing prayer of the Conference:
God of our Fathers, our God, and the God of our children, we thank thee for thy constancy amid change. Thou art the norm of true uprightness and the lodestar of all worthy desiring. As we lift our eyes to the encircling hills, we are drawn toward thee; when we rest secure upon the ocean's rhythmic tides we are upborne by thy eternal love.
Humbly we acknowledge our creaturehood ; confidently we claim our kinship with thee; exultantly we affirm our freedom; and then "we give thee back the life we owe" . . . "our wills are ours to make them thine."
So chasten us that we shall be more tractable children, obedient to thy far- seeing wisdom, thy purposeful discipline, and thy firm but kindly rule. In that
42 Minutes [1964
obedience to law may we win true liberty, — growing in likeness to Him whose faithful disciples we would be.
So temper our impulsive spirits that we shall become responsible stewards of that spiritual treasure thou hast entrusted to our disposing. Save us from sloth, from waste, from gross misuse of fresh knowledge, and of unimagined power, as nature yields her hidden secrets to man's persistent search.
Grant us "reverence for life"; especially for the life of every human soul, housed in flesh, but indelibly marked with its Maker's and Owner's name.
We offer to thee the fruitage of our labor in these Conference sessions. Take thou what is good and use it for the implementing of thy will. Unite us ever more closely in that living organism, the Church Universal, which we fain would know as die Body of Christ, indivisible, though of many members. Now lead us on in dauntless devotion, "up blazoned heights and down the slopes of need," until through the miracle of thy enabling faith in us, we somehow catch the Master's gracious word, "WeU done, good and faithful servant! Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Amen.
The meeting adjourned at 12:30 p.m. and an accommodation luncheon was served at 12:45 p.m. in the Wendell-Sherwood Hotel.

50 Report of the Treasurer [1964
May 5, 19C4
The Reverend Albert J. Penner, D.D., President Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference Boston, Massachusetts
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference and of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, Trustee, as at December 31, 1963, 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, 1963, were verified by inspection or confirmation, and the cash in banks and in oflace 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, 1963, 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.

54 Report of the Treasurer [1964
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational 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 Christian 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 Congregational churches in Boston since 1816. It is now an integral part of the Metropolitan Boston Association, whose new constitution refers to the Society as "a recog- nized instrumentality of the Metropolitan Boston Association."
CMS holds membership in the Family Section of the Greater Boston Com- munity Council, the New England Camping Association, and in the American Conference of Church Social Work. Its nine missionary-social workers are attached to Congregational churches in the inner city. They work closely with pastors and with public and private social agencies. Social workers are aided by many volunteers who engage in many useful services of visitation, teaching, manual labor, etc.
The CMS consultant in Christian Education assists many churches in pro- grams of leadership training, and supervises Friendly Town activities. Summer camping programs provide meaningful activity for children of all ages and for adult members of underprivileged families.
The Society's camps on Lake Winnisquam are open to children 9-16 years of age, and provide opportunities for intercultural and interracial contacts in a Christian setting. Family camps, and week-end retreats for many church groups are held under CMS auspices at the Farrington Memorial property in Lincoln, Mass-
CMS receives no income from Community Funds, nor from the denomina- tional OCWM. Principal support comes from Congregational churches in Metropolitan Boston, from interested individuals, and from endowment. Several trust funds generously assist with special projects and relief programs. Much aid in relief work comes from the Howard Benevolent Society.
More than a hundred churches and Sunday schools aid with- collections of food, clothing and furniture. In 1962-63 :
14 of the 22 churches in Suffolk North Association contributed $3,208. 24 of the 35 churches in Suffolk South Association contributed $7,315. 27 of the 31 churches in Suffolk West Association contributed $14,272. 21 of the 29 churches in Woburn Association contributed $12,557. 16 churches in the Pilgrim Association contributed $554. 91 churches in 14 other Massachusetts associations contributed
A list of CMS supporting churches in the four associations which now form tJie Metropolitan Boston Association follows:

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 1963 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 62.

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 oflBce 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, 1964. Admissions and removals cover the year 1963. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and scholars January 1, 1964, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering "branch schools," "mbsion 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. 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. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
— 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 and value of property, are inserted from the previous Year Book and marked 11 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.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent Members" (those active in attendance and/or financial supporters but living outside the natural parish of the church) are included in the "Total Membership." Amount of "Home 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 aU the churches grouped together in the federated church.
