The table was begun in 1866, all preceding years now given being compiled from past Minutes, - the number of churches in some years varying from the Minutes as they were to what they should have been.
The changes in list of churches, ordinations, installations, etc., for the past year, con- densed in the above table, are given in detail in their proper place.
* Prior to 1876 " acting pastors " are included in " others " in columns of deaths of ministers.
