APPENDIX
We expect at Conference to supplement this Report by further reports of Accessions.
In submitting this Report to the Conference the Com- mittee on Evangelism endorses the National Council's Pro- gram and the lines of work outlined by National Commit- tee on Evangelism. They regret that the Report does not represent more adequately the work done throughout the State and hope that the Association and Churches may be in a position to send more complete details next year.
The Report proves that our membership increase de- pends only on the faithful work and the intelligent methods adopted by pastors and Churches.
The Committee earnestly urges in view of the immense and urgent need for Religious Revival:
1. Individual response by pastors in a quickened hun- ger for discipleship.
2. The demand for Church fellowship in aligning our Congregations. We must work through the visible body of Christ, through Sunday Schools, Young People's Socie- ties, Women's Societies, Men's Clubs, through the homes, through the preaching of the Gospel, through personal per- suasion.
3. We must invade our whole Community under the Commission of Discipleship seeking to bring all sorts of men to the Savior of all men.
4. We must work through and with our National fel- lowship on the lines adopted last year, by Retreats of Na- tional, State, and Association leaders reaching to the Church Committee on Evangelism, by Inter-Church visi- tations, by surveys and above all by a large enlistment of personal work for discipleship.
The need is great, the Divine Grace is sufficient, the task is glorious and the reward eternal.
DONALD FRASER, Chairman.

VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE
F COMMITTEE ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND THE MINISTRY
At the annual meeting of our State Conference held at Lyndonville a year ago the Committee on Religious Educa- tion and the Ministry presented a statement regarding standards and requirements of candidates for the Congrega- tional ministry in the State of Vermont. It was thought best after some discussion to defer action upon the report until the next annual session. In the meantime the subject matter of the report has been somewhat carefully considered and in amended form is respectfully submitted for action of confer- ence with the exception of the matter referring to the licen- sure to preach which the committee desires to leave on the table for its further consideration.
(With the exception of what was recommended for licen- sure, which, as suggested above was laid on the table for a year and therefore is here printed, the recommendation of the committee regarding principles and methods for Congrega- tional Ministerial Standing, which was adopted by the Con- ference, will be found on page 18 of these Minutes.)
Laid on table for one year for further discussion by the committee.
LICENSURE
Licensure to preach and to conduct such ministrations in a parish as come within our ecclesiastical usage may be granted to persons who are in active preparation for ordina- tion. It is the custom of our order, moreover, that no unor- dained person shall undertake charge of a pulpit or parish who is not so licensed, and it is earnestly sugggested to our several Associations that they urge upon the Churches by formal action that they, the Churches, shall not enlist the ser- vices of any unordained person who has not been so licensed,
125
APPENDIX
except that the Committee on Ministerial Standing of local Associations may grant permission to an unlicensed person to preach for a term not exceeding one month. Such a practice will both safeguard and be a means for promoting the best in- terests and work of all concerned.
The licensing body is the Association of Churches and Ministers and it shall perform the public act of licensure. The examining of candidates will usually be done by the As- sociation Committee on Ministerial Standing or a specially appointed Committee.
A candidate for licensure shall be required to present a statement setting forth :
(a) His full name and address.
(b) His age and present occupation.
(c) The date and place of his first Church membership and of all succeeding Church memberships.
(d) The name of his present pastor, and the names of his teachers, or of others who will vouch for his Christian character and ability to preach.
(e) A statement of his experience in Christian work.
(f) The grounds on which he is moved to prepare for the Christian ministry.
A candidate for licensure shall be thoroughly examined in :
(a) His Christian experience and call to the ministry.
(b) The nature and content of the books of the Bible.
(c) The doctrines of the Christian Church.
(d) Church History.
(e) The ability to prepare and deliver sermons, includ- ing the rules of composition, rhetoric, and logic.
(f) Church polity, including the history, doctrine, and usage of the Congregational Churches.
(g) His knowledge of missionary organizations and work of the Christian Churches, and particularly of the Con- gregational Churches.
In case a candidate exhibits lack of thorough training in any of these subjects, his license may be withheld, or, if
126
VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE
granted, its renewal may be conditioned upon his pursuing these subjects, or any of them, to the full satisfaction of the Association.
A printed certificate of licensure, (to be provided by the State Secretary), shall be issued to all licentiates, and this certificate shall carry the right to administer baptism and the Lord's Supper, in case a fully ordained minister is not avail- able for the service.
Licensure shall usually be granted in the expectation that full preparation for ordination will be carried forward actively by the licentiate. The period of preparation should be long enough to enable the candidate to master a course of study equivalent to that prescribed by a theological seminary, usually a three years' course.
License shall be renewed each year, as the candidate gives evidence of creditable progress in the course of study undertaken.
The Committee respectfully presents this statement of principles and methods in the hope that it may unify our practice in Vermont in regard to Ministerial Standing and so maintain the character, achievement and work of our minis- try and our Churches at the very high level to which our ideals for efficiency in the Master's service calls us.
The Committee further reports that two visits have been made to our colleges for the purpose of presenting the claims of the ministry to the undergraduates. Rev. Fraser Metzger and Secretary C. C. Merrill represented the Committee at Dartmouth and at Middlebury the visit was made by Rev. George A. Buttrick and Secretary Merrill. A date in May has been fixed for a visit to the University of Vermont.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Recognizing the fundamental importance of religious education to the church and the kingdom of God we urge the pastors and churches to give more attention to this depart- ment of church activity.
127
APPENDIX
Since one of the greatest needs in this field is for trained teachers and workers we call attention to the excellent Teacher Training Course published by the Pilgrim Press and urge that classes in Teacher Training be organized wherever possible. In some communities these might be inter-church classes.
For the first time we have a summer school for religious education located within the borders of our state. A session of the Northern New England School of Religious Educa- tion will be held at the University of Vermont from the fourth to the tenth of August. We commend this school to the churches and recommend that each church send one or more wisely chosen persons for this intensive training. This school should be for the Sunday School workers of Vermont what the Middlebury .Convocation is to the pastors.
We deplore the loss of 1408 in Sunday School enrollment as reported by our churches this year and we recommend that the matter of religious education be given greater promi- nence on the association programs and at the Convocation at ยท Middlebury.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CIVIC JUSTICE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
The Legislature of 1919 made a notable record for the Acts which it passed relating to Civic Justice and Community Service. Some of the most important were the result of the work of the Board of Charities and Probation. We refer to each of these Acts very briefly.
Act No. 91 amends the Juvenile Court law and permits all courts, Supreme, Municipal and Juvenile, to make suitable
128
VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE
disposition of children in a case where a parent is found guilty of non-support or desertion.
Act No. 205 amends the General Laws, extending the authority and duty of the Board in respect to poor relief. Under the old law the Board inspected poor houses. Under the new law, it inspects poor houses and investigates the administration of poor relief and the conditions of the poor throughout the state. This gives general supervision and inspection of all the poor in Vermont.
Act No. 206 is perhaps the most important single meas- ure affecting the department passed by the recent session. Under the law as it existed there was no provision for the care of a dependent child when committed to the Board. This Act provides that when a child is so committed, that the Board shall incur such expense for the proper care and main- tenance of the child as it deems necessary, which shall be paid in equal amounts by the state and town in which the child is a resident.
It has long been the practice of the towns of the state to commit dependent children, children whose only necessity is food, clothing and shelter, to the State Industrial School at Vergennes. Act No. 207 prohibits courts committing a de- pendent child to the Vermont Industrial School at Vergennes except with the approval of the Board of Charities and Pro- bation.
Act No. 208 is also a very important, constructive piece of legislation. Soon after the organizing of the Board of Charities and Probation, it was found that annually there were a large number of children who were dependent, delin- quent or defective, both physically and mentally, being sent into the state. This Act prohibits receiving any such child in Vermont without first securing a certificate from this Board and giving sufficient guaranty, that such child has not a contagious or incurable disease, is not feeble-minded and will not become a public charge. This Act requires private institutions, associations or persons receiving or desiring to receive dependent children, to furnish the Board such infor-
129
APPENDIX
mation, reports and statements as the Board may deem nec- essary and authorizes the Board to inspect institutions, asso- ciations or homes at such times as it deems proper. This Act prohibits persons from receiving children under two years of age for board or care or engaging in the home plac- ing of children until they have received a license from the Board, and the Board is given full authority to regulate the conduct of the business, to visit the premises and to request such reports as it deems necessary. A fine of not more than $500.00 is the penalty for disregarding this provision of the law.
In addition to the foregoing, the appropriation for the maintenance of the department was increased from $10,000.00 to $25,000.00 annually.
There were several Acts passed relating to Venereal Diseases. Act No. 176 relates to medical treatment of in- mates of institutions afflicted with these diseases. Act No. 177 relates to prevention. Act No. 178 relates to treatment and publicity and Act No. 179 increases the penalties.
One of the most important Acts passed by the Legisla- ture was No. 199, relating to Prostitution, making the penalty for violation of this law, a fine of not more than $100.00 or im- prisonment for not more than one year, or for a second con- viction, imprisonment for not more than three years. This law applies equally to men and women.
Act No. 60 provides that women over the age of twenty- one and not over the age of forty-five years, who may be con- sidered proper subjects therefor, may, with the approval of the Governor, be committed to the State School for Feeble Minded Children. This law ought to materially decrease the number of feeble-minded children born in the State.
Act No. 90 gives the women of the State of Vermont all the property rights which men enjoy, thus putting women on a perfect equality with men as far as "property rights" are concerned-rights of which they have been deprived ever since Vermont became a State.

VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE
Act No. 57 relates to the Vermont Teachers' Retirement System; providing pensions on a very just and equitable basis.
Act No. 194 was passed for the purpose of preventing the Promotion of Anarchy.
House Bill No. 312 caused a great deal of excitement, but was indefinitely postponed without discussion. This bill provided for the operation of fruit stores, ice cream parlors and moving pictures on Sunday.

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
When the Conference reorganized its work two years ago at Brandon it made no provision for the extra expense that would be involved. Moreover, there was an indebtedness of some $600 on account of the "History of Vermont Congrega- tionalism" whose publication the Conference had authorized.
One of the first tasks of the Board of Directors, there- fore, was to secure the money whereby the organization and plan of work which had been effected could actually be car- ried out. The Board entrusted this task to the Ways and Means Committee and we now have the privilege of reporting that with the co-operation of the other members of the Board and of interested churches and individuals that have con- tributed, the task has now been completed.
The fund which we endeavored to raise was called the Emergency Fund and there have been received for this Fund the following sums :
By the Vermont Domestic Missionary Society, as reported by its treasurer for 1917-18 $281.40
By the Vermont Congregational Conference,

ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MINISTERS
This should include all ordained Congregational ministers serv- ing any of the churches in the state, and all others whose standing is with a Vermont Association. No others are included in this list, and no others will be reported for insertion in the alphabetical list of minis- ters in the Year-Book. Any errors should be reported to the Sta- tistical Secretary.
Following this is a similar list of licentiates, and a list of minis- ters of other denominations supplying our churches.
These lists will not be found to agree with those in the tabular Statistics of the Churches, because the latter are printed from the plates of the Year-Book and have been corrected only to April 1, while the lists that follow have been brought up to the date of printing.
