In conclud- Ing his report, Mr. Spencer called at- tention to the supper to be served to- morrow evening. The Pastor Problem. Watson L. Philips of New presented the following very Intagesting report in behalf of the di- ectors of the New and Board of toral Supply: “Since this is the report having ta do with the achusetts board, it may est to turn back to the re- port of the committee on mini bureau made to the general ass tion of Massachusetts at its meeting in Boston in May, 1913.

Rarely since the board was fairly in operation has the number of vacant churches in Massa- chusetts was but twenty-three, the smallest number of which we have record. The hoard aided 93 per cent. of the vacant churches last vear in search for a pastor, and of the settle- ments actually made this past year in he State of Massachusetts, the board ad a direct share in 76 ver cent.

While breparing this report the secretary re- ived word from one of the leading ugches that their search for a pas- r had cnded in a hearty and unani- call and the committe wished ess their gratitude to the hoard T the very great help rendered Rev. churches tho fhey felt they had been saved valu- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1916. able time, and had been able to secure the right man with the minimum loss of pastoral service. Such testimonies are by no means infrequent, “That the board has been under re- sponsible denominational control, with all impartant correspondence open to official inspection, has added to the effectiveness of the work, and given increased confidence to churches and ministers, “A certain standardizing of work and a help to escape troublesome provincialism and vidualism has been inevitable. Fruit- ful have been the intimations about supply fees, salaries of ministers, treatment of candidates, hindrances | to effectiveness on the part of min- isters; and while these have not fringed upon church automony or in- dividual liberty, they have been of real value to both churches and min- isters. Sometimes the secretary has wondered whether these by-products of the work might not prove of as much value as the direct results of the work. The churches have been protected in some measure from ad- venturers and unworthy men. A constant effort has been made to help modest men, and to give substantial men the help their real worth mer- ited. “The files of the board are being constantly increased and already con- tain discriminating reports concern- ing a large majority of all the Con- gregational ministers in the United States, and of many outside of this country. We have also in our out- files reports of many men of other denominations who have had some connection with our church, or have thought of gaining admittance to Congregational fellowship, During the first nineteen years of its life the board had the good fortune to have as secretary a very wise, judicially minded, yet sympathetic man, and ac- quaintance with the records will bring realization of their value. The pres- ent secretary doubts whether this part of the work could have been done better, and is sure that there is little to be undone. “The report this vear comes be- fore four new state conferences. Of what value is the work likely to be to the church of these states? “This is a fair question. The Pope has, since the great European war the from indi- | began, issued a request to the bellig- erents ‘to arrange their aspirations.’ The effectiveness of the work of the board will depend partly on how well both churches and ministers ‘arrange their aspirations.” The board can not revolutionize present conditions. It can only work alongside existing agencies to remedy difficult conditions, New England has not been wont to specialize in revolutions. She has rather emphasized education, and be- lieved in a steady evolution towards better conditions. The board can neither remove all difficulties attend- ing pastoral transfer, nor be held re- sponsible for the persistence of some longstanding burdens in our form of policy. Time will be. | required to make known the purposes and meth- ods of the work. “The exact value of the work for each specific part of New England can not be precisely measured, since we are “members one of another.” If one state suffers then all New Eng- land suffers with her. And if one state be exalted for pre-eminent ef- ficiency, then all New England may well rejoice with her. In the confer- ence leading up to the organization of the present board it was recognized that the work was of vital import- ance, but that no State outside of Massachusetts was a large enough unit to maintain the work effectively. It was believed that the motto “each for all and all for each” applied to the question of pastoral supply in New England. “Another consideration should be taken into account: The question of nationalizing the board has been raised. The matter has been before the executive committee of the Na- tional council. Conferences have been held and the matter discussed. An af- filiated relation for a temporary pur- pose was established for a year with western superintendents and secre- taries. The directors have needed to consider the matter and to , define their attitude, and it has seemed to them that for purposes of pastoral supply New England is a natural unit They have felt that to nationalize the board would take away the clement of personal knowledge and personal contact that has given the work its itest value. And, therefore, your directors favor the policy of other boards as needed, established outside of New England in friendly co-opera- tion with this one. Your directors believe that the present plan will be more effective for New England. “The following are some of the ad- vantages to the states that are just coming into the work of pastoral supply through this board: “The fee system for candidating and settlement outside of Massachu- setts, adopted in order to partly ize the expenses.to the Massa- is abolished, and there is no candidating fee for min- isters in the co-operating states for preaching as candidates within such states, nor is there any settlement fee for ministers from any state who may settle in the co-operating states. (The fees for the so-called occasional sup- continue in force.) he conferences of Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont will have their full share in shaping the policy f the board. The remedy for the board’s limitations will be in the hands of the state conferences. “Through the closer and more re- sponsible connection with the board, there will be greater protection to | the New England states from unwor- thy men, and greater help in secur- ing more efficient men. “The board will endeavor to co- operate with every legitimate Con- gregational agency. It does not con- { sider itself in a competitive relation with any agency which may be es- tablished within a state. It will en- deavor to aid. o far as it may, the churches. It will { count it a privilege to aid the stu- dents from each of the Theological seminaries to find settlement. It will | endeavor to co-operate with commit- tees of local associations and state conferences in the matter of pastoral | Century of Home Missions in Connec- supply, if assoc of churches and state conferences so desire and plan. It has no purpoe to supplant, but rather to co-operate. “Each association of churches will | have an opportunity to appoint a lo- cal adviser, who will be privileged, not only to furnish information to the board, but to transmit suggestions for the more effective conduct of the work. In connection with the meet- ing of the state conference, a meet- ing of the directors and advisers of each state for conference would be held. For acquaintance sake the sec- retary of the board would hope to have the opportunity to speak at the various assoclations of churches. Each individual church, upon becom- ing vacant. will. so far as the board knows of such vacancy, receive a personal letter from the secretary of- fering help in securing a pastor, and stating some of the things which the board can probably do for the church. “The following recommendations are respectfully submitted: Since in | order to meet adequately the needs for the enlarged work, 1 1-2 cents per church member is needed, we there- | fore recommend that this amount be appropriated for the ensuing year. In order to give stability to the board | we recommend that the directors be | elected for a term of two or three{ years.” Rev. Dr. Philips stated that as the Congregational churches now em- braces over 70,000 members in Con- necticut, the organization was en- titled to membership on the board of directors of the New England Board of Pastoral Supply.
