Program for State Committees


The Committee suggests a program for its work in this re- gard and asks the co-operation of the churches.


1. Secure from each church a definite report each year.


2. Keep in personal touch with those who have the minis- try or missions in mind.


3. Provide speakers and literature for pastors.


4. Send speakers to High Schools, Academies and Colleges.


Certain Convictions


After a year's experience of dealing in a more general way with the problem of Christian Leadership in the state your Com- mittee desires to give expressions to certain opinions which are rapidly solidifying into convictions.


1. The great and immediate issue before the church is one of leadership. Repeatedly does it appear that where there is a vital ministry the church moves on to worthwhile service.


65


APPENDIX


2. Without minimizing in the least the importance of ever increasing humanitarian ministries the Christian ministry lies at the heart of them all.


3. The main difficulty in the whole situation is with our civ- ilization which at heart is materialistic. What has been said in this report about program lies upon the surface. A vital minis- try will issue only as an overflow from a vital evangelism. But "how shall they hear without a preacher?" And so the point of departure is with the pastor. Ultimately his task is one of evan- gelism-the permeation of the life of our age with "the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus."

C. C. ADAMS Chairman


E MINISTERIAL STANDING


The Committee on Ministerial Standing have no large activ- ities to report. Correspondence has been carried on with three candidates for ordination, and books for study have been recom- mended and in some cases furnished. One of the candidates, Richard A. Burn, has been ordained. The committee plans to make out a course of study preparatory to the ministry, and will be ready to give aid in every way open to them.

F BENEVOLENCES AND MISSIONARY EDUCATION


The principal work of this committee has been a thorough revision of the apportionments of the Congregational churches of Vermont. This revision was worked out in accordance with the recommendations of the National Council, except that we used a five year experience as a basis instead of a three year ex- perience.


The apportionment figures had not been revised as a whole for ten years, and while a thorough revision involved a large


66


VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE


amount of detail, it seemed advisable to do the work at this time. The surprising thing was that in very many instances the old fig- ures coincided so nearly with the new ones.


On the basis of these figures Association quotas were estab- lished and the figures turned over to the Association Apportion- ment Committees. Later, conferences were held in each Asso- ciation, attended by representatives of the churches and of the State Office and the quotas for each church were determined. Since some of the churches did not feel that they could under- take to raise the full amount asked of them it will be necessary for many of our churches to oversubscribe their quotas if Ver- mont is to reach the full $130,000 asked of us. This amount is a challenge to our Christian patriotism and the result will measure our interest in the extension work of the Kingdom.


The splendid response of our churches to the emergency de- mands of the Congregational World Movement last year is an evidence that our people will respond when once they understand the need. We have courage to believe that as we practically raised our quota last year so shall we make a heartening response to the equally urgent need this year.


The actual gifts reported in the Annual Statistics for the year 1920 are as follows :


Regular Congregational Benevolences,


Apportionment


$52,277


Congregational World Movement


28,445


$80,722


Special Congregational Benevolences


16,669


Undenominational Gifts


12,210


Pilgrim Memorial Fund


19,291


Total


$128,892


These figures indicate the following gains over 1919 :


$5,115 or 10.8 per cent in apportionment contribution.


$33,560 or 71 per cent in regular Cong. Benevolences.


$62,153 or 93 per cent in total Benevolences.


It should be noticed that while there was this increase in benevolences, it did not prevent an increase of $35,400 in home


67


APPENDIX


expenses during 1920 as compared with 1919. The Congrega- tional World Movement contributions are credited in the An- nual Statistics to each church under the society which they finally reached (except what went to educational institutions and to the small "miscellaneous" items is credited under Special Congrega- tional Benevolences). These contributions are given, of course, as for the year 1920.


It is of interest, also, to note the large number of our churches contributing. Of our 215 churches 200 gave for gen- eral purposes while 205 contributed to one or more of the fore- going objects.


The increase in benevolences shows what we can do when we are aroused to the needs of our missionary enterprises at home and abroad. It seems important, therefore, that the needs of our own State, of our country and of the world should be kept constantly before the people of our churches if we expect them to adequately meet their obligations and their opportunity.


Respectfully submitted,


H. G. WOODRUFF For the Committee


G INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT


The failure of the Interchurch Movement to maintain itself as an organized force in our Protestant church service has given a sense of disappointment and set back to the movement for federating churches in over-churched areas. The failure, how- ever, has revealed these forces of reaction which must be over- come if Protestantism is to perform her best service for the country and for the Kingdom of God. The Interchurch Move- ment failed to achieve its immediate purposes for several reasons and amongst these we may note (1) sectarian sentiment for which we may pay too high a price in inefficiency and overlapp- ing; (2) theological divergences which reveal in part different stages in Protestant education ; (3) the lack of organized Prot- estant sentiment without which it was impossible to create an ef- ficent control over our forces and resources.


68


VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE


We discovered that the conferences on church unity which seemed so full of promise had under the test of a real experiment underestimated the inherent difficulties of united action.


The Committee believes that we can utilize the failure and its causes for a more intelligent and determined effort for federa- ting our forces, that we need more prayer, more patience, more sacrifice, more conciliation toward each other before we can suc- ceed in the first steps of federated effort. There should be no despair but only a deeper humility and a greater consecration to the unifying of our Protestant forces on the fields of service at home and abroad.


It is gratifying that is the face of the Interchurch's failure to achieve its objective we have the privilege of recording in Ver- mont the following unions or federations since our last report :


Grafton


Congregational and Baptist


Lowell


Congregational and Methodist


Pawlet


Congregational and Methodist


Franklin Congregational and Methodist


In name of Committee on Interchurch World Movement.

H CIVIC JUSTICE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Your Committee on Civic Justice and Community Service respectfully reports :


1. That at your meeting held at Brattleboro May 12, 1920 you adopted a resolution as follows: "Recognizing Sunday as one of God's best gifts to man, we urge upon all our people by precept and example to conserve the higher spiritual and relig- ious values of the day, and at the same time approve and recom- mend a change in our state laws relating to Sunday observance which will leave questions of recreation on that day to the indi- vidual conscience and to local option, subject to such regulation as will prevent infringement on the right of all to a quiet day of rest and worship. We desire, however, to go on record as be-


69


APPENDIX


ing unalterably opposed to any measure that will legalize com- mercial recreation of any sort on Sunday."


2. At a later session at the same meeting the following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, this Conference in the re- port of the Committee on Civic Justice and Community Service has recommended that the statutes of Vermont be amended looking to the better observance of the Sunday Law and of the statute with relation to marriage. Resolved, that the Secretary of this Conference and the Chairman of the Committee on Civic Justice and Community Service be instructed to keep in touch with the bills that come before our next Legislature, and see so far as in their power that the recommendations named above be carried out."


3. Previous to the last session of the Legislature a con- ference of the denominational leaders of the state was held in Burlington on Monday, November 8th, 1920, to which con- ference the Caairman of your Committee was invited but was unable to attend. At this meeting the Congrega- tionalists were represented by Rev. C. H. Merrill, D. D., St. Johnsbury, and Rev. C. C. Merrill, the State Secretary, the Epis- copalians by Bishop Arthur C. Hall and Rev. Joseph Reynolds, Burlington, the Methodist Episcopal Church by Rev. G. K. Stat- ham, D. D., and Rev. H. O. Martin, Springfield, the Baptist church by Rev. W. A. Davison, D. D. and Prof. Raymond McFarland, Principal of Vermont Academy. The matter of Sun- day legislation was discussed and all were agreed that the pres- ent laws were unsatisfactory and constantly being broken with only here and there a spasmodic attempt at enforcement.


And this Conference unanimously expressed a desire for some such changes in the Sunday Law as have since been enac- ted.


4. The old Sunday Observance Law is found in Sec. 7097 in the last revision: "A person who between twelve o'clock Saturday night and twelve o'clock the following Sunday night exercises any business or employment except works of necessity or charity, holds or resorts to a ball or dance, or uses or exercises a game, sport or play, or resorts to a house of entertainment for


70


VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE


amusement or recreation shall be fined not more than $2.00."


5. At the last session Sen. Geo. L. Dunham of Brattleboro introduced a bill revising the Sunday Observance Law and after this measure was introduced, in compliance with the direction of the last Vermont Congregational Conference, the Chairman of your Committee kept in touch with this bill as did also the Sec- retary of this Conference, and on March 22nd Senator Dunham received a letter signed by the Secretary of the Conference and by Rev. W. A. Davison, D. D., for the Baptists, and by Rev. G. E. Robbins, setting forth the Conference held at Burlington as aforesaid, and its opinions. The bill, introduced by Sen. Dun- ham, after some amendment, substantially unchanged in its spirit or intent, became law and is as follows: "A person shall not be- tween twelve o'clock Saturday night and twelve o'clock the fol- lowing Sunday night exercise any secular business or employ- ment, except works of necessity and charity, nor engage in any dance, nor shall a person promote or engage in any play, game, sport or entertainment, during said hours, for which admission is taken or for which any compensation is received, directly or indirectly, or which disturbs the public peace. A person who violates a provision of this act shall be fined not more than fifty dollars for each offense." All of which is respectfully submitted.

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 ministers in the Year-Book. Any errors should be reported to the Statistical Secretary.


Following this is a similiar 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 May 1st, while the lists that follow have been brought up to the date of printing.
