The additions by confession are to 114 churches, and those by letter to 102. To 77 churches there were no additions of either kind, and to 101 no additions by confession. These churches are not by any means all dormant or pastorless. The following received ten or more by confession: Rutland, 34; Vergennes, 32; Burlington First and Orwell, 30 each; Ran- dolph, 23; Hardwick, 21; Brandon and Richmond, 19 each ; Woodstock, 17; Newport, 16; Barre, 15; Northfield and Water- bury, 14 each; East Hardwick and Wallingford, 13 each; Ches- ter and Middlebury, 12 each; Montpelier and Randolph Center, 11 each; Bellows Falls and Springfield, 10 each. It should be clearly understood that these figures refer to the calendar year 1918, and do not include the large additions of the past month.
The Sunday school membership is given at 18,415, includ- ing all departments. This is a loss of 1408. The membership of young people's societies is 3700, a loss of 559 ; and of organi- zations of men and boys 1708, a loss of 485. For these losses the war must be largely chargeable.
Coming to the columns of benevolence, we find a better showing. Gifts for the support of our denominational work, applicable on the apportionment, have a total of $36,266, an in-
47
REPORT OF STATISTICAL SECETARY
crease of $1322 over the previous year. This does not yet nearly equal the apportionment, but is moving toward it. The two other divisions of benevolence, "other Congregational" and "undenominational," convey information too inexact to be of value. Under both, many churches have made no return. The system adopted in the National Council office puts ciphers in such cases, when a blank would be more accurate. On the other hand, some clerks try to include Red Cross and other war gifts made by the people of the church but not through any of its organizations. These should clearly be struck out, but some have probably escaped the censor.
Home expenditures, which last year showed a decrease, have risen again, now being given at $242,173, an increase of $3846. As there has been little expended on building and re- pairs, this should represent a deserved increase in the stipend of ministers. Fifteen churches received legacies, to the value of $16,447. Invested funds, now given as $665,531, have increased $34,284, an increment considerably greater than that accounted for by reported legacies. Church property is valued at $2,471,- 500, an increase of $39,925, which must be due almost entirely to a more optimistic appraisal.
Expenditures for building and repairs have been small during the past year. The only new building erected by any of our churches has been the parsonage at Westminster West, to replace the loss by fire in 1917. At Barre, a house has been bought for a parsonage. At East Arlington, a parish house given by outside friends was formally dedicated June 12. Repairs of some extent on church property are noted at West Charleston, Danville, and Thetford.
Fewer bequests to the churches than usual have been noted. Hardwick receives a legacy of $600, and the daughter of the donor has given a memorial window in her honor. Bethel is to receive a legacy, the income of which is to be used for the up- keep of the church building and grounds.
A debt at Londonderry has been paid through the gener- osity of an individual. An old debt at Barre has been paid. At Wilmington, the parsonage has been sold and a debt paid with

the proceeds, a house being rented for the minister.
But few important anniversaries have fallen within the year. The centennial of the Westfield church was observed June 14, and there has been a celebration at North Bennington of the fiftieth anniversary of the church.
The movement of great promise, aiming to strengthen the religious forces of a community by a consolidation which shall place the leadership in the hands of one man, who shall have an adequate pecuniary support and not be hampered by sectarian bickerings and rivalries, has made notable progress during the year. Sometimes this has been effected by a federation of churches on equal terms, sometimes by a withdrawal of one de- nomination to give the whole field to the other. Certain three- fold unions where the contracting parties are of the Baptist, Methodist, and Congregational orders are especially to be noted. These are at West Rutland, Putney, Westford, and Hinesburg. At Stowe, the threefold union into which our church has entered is with the Methodists and Unitarians. At other places we have come to an agreement with either Methodist or Baptist offi- cials. During the absence in war work of our pastors at Wood- stock and Northfield, temporary combinations have been made, in the former case with the Christian and in the latter with the Universalist church. The present reporter notes a change in the viewpoint of our church people in that combinations are made readily today with churches of certain denominations with which fusion would have been held impossible when he began recording the annals of the churches. Of the fundamental soundness of this ideal of a single community church there can be no doubt among rational Christians whose minds are open to the light. But it must be remembered that in individual cases these unions are tentative, and are not certain to cause a real unity of the religious forces of the community. If there is not a genuine harmony of purpose, the outward union will effect little. This comment is suggested by the fact that one Associa- tion reporter speaks of two churches as "discouraged" which have become formally federated, and a similar note of discour-
49
REPORT OF STATISTICAL SECRETARY
agement appears in the statistical reports received in January from the clerks of certain other united churches. The letter without the spirit is vain.
A few unclassified items may be grouped here. The legisla- ture which held its sessions through the winter contained two Congregational pastors in its membership, one in each branch. Hartford has a Discussion Club, meeting in the auditorium at the close of the Sunday morning service. At East Barre, a community sing was held on the church lawn Sunday evenings for two months in summer, followed by a Christian Endeavor service out of doors. Windsor and Hartland have been using moving pictures Sunday evenings to get the people together for a gospel message, and the experiment has proved successful. From South Woodbury comes the unusual word that the mid- week meeting is better attended that the Sunday service. The small number of these miscellaneous items and the brevity of other portions of this report are largely due to the failure of about half of the Association reporters to respond to requests for information.
The outstanding events of the year have been those affect- ing the churches in mass rather than those concerning indi- viduals. The first was the annual convocation of pastors, held for the second time at Middlebury in September, well attended and a time of intellectual and spiritual uplift. It fostered the Every Member Drive for funds for local needs and benevolence, which was to have been undertaken by each church on a definite day, December 8. The epidemic of influenza hindered this in some cases, and the lack of pastoral leadership in others, but where it was thoroughly undertaken it proved almost every- where effectual for its immediate purposes and valuablein awak- ening a larger allegiance to the work of the church, both within and without its membership.
The next item of team work was the holding of "retreats for evangelism" in January and February, at which three- fourths of the pastoral force of our churches were in attendance. The object was the fostering of a campaign for pastoral evange- lism. The marked success of this campaign is evidenced by the
50
VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE
large number of accessions to the churches at Easter and in May, a record not equaled for many years, and almost entirely the fruit of pastoral rather than professional evangelism. Among the churches sharing most largely in these additions are Randolph, East Braintree, Burlington First, Swanton, Peacham, Morrisville, Pittsford, Bellows Falls, Barre, East Barre, Ben- nington Second, West Brattleboro, Essex Junction, Quechee, St. Johnsbury Center, Johnson, Hyde Park, and Jeffersonville. A substantial gain in the membership of our churches for the next annual report is assured.
A further act of the convocation was the stressing of the importance of community work, and there has been an evident advance in this respect among the churches so situated as to be entitled to be considered community churches.
Another general movement, not, however, under direct Ver- mont management, has been the drive to raise our state quota for the Pilgrim Memorial Fund. This too has been meeting with excellent success.
In concluding, the watchman would review the encouraging features in the record for the past year and the signs of promise for the future. That the membership held its own during 1918 in spite of the many gaps in the ranks of the pastoral leaders and the stoppage of activity by the epidemic is in itself a note- worthy achievement, especially in view of the fact that in the country at large there has been a loss in membership. That the gifts of the churches for their missionary enterprises have in- creased in a year of unprecedented contributions for patriotic purposes is an evidence that the appetite for giving grows with its exercise and that the resources of our people are much larger than we have thought. The results of evangelistic effort in these last weeks have shown that a warm and living appeal still meets with ready response, and that great spiritual forces await development. The face of Vermont Congregationalism is turned toward the light.
