APPENDIX STATISTICAL TABLES EXPLANATORY The tables which follow comprise : 1. The statistics of the Churches, giving the ministers, Church membership, additions, removals, baptisms, Sunday schools and families; the statistics of the Young People's Societies; the amounts of benevolences and expenses. These tables, in accordance with the vote of the Association, in 1887, are made to conform to those in the YEAR-BOOK. 2. The Conferences of the Churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting. 3. The Associations of Ministers, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of membership, the residence and his "employment." The abbreviations, "P." and "P. C." are explained below. "W. C." means without Church; "Prof." means professor; "C. M." Church missionary; "Tea." teacher; other abbreviations are self-evident. "W. C.," however, includes many who have retired from active service. and some who are in business. 4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals, marriages and deaths. The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational Churches in Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically; Churches in each town according to age. The names of the Sunday-school superintendents are taken from the statistical tables and printed elsewhere. Six new columns are added which show the amounts of the benevolent contributions which each Church made directly to the treasuries of the societies in 1902. The totals on Page 33, Appendix, give the amount each society received from the Churches of Massachusetts and the total amount from the State. Church members and families are reported as numbered on the morning of Jan. 1, 1903. Admissions, removals and baptisms cover the year 1902. "Absent" are not additional to "males," "females," and "total," but included in them. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and scholars, Jan. 1, 1903, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering "branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as maintained by the reporting Church. "Av." means the average attendance during 1902. The months and days in the dates of the organization of Churches are omitted. They will be found in the publication of 1873, those of Churches since organized being given in the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local Associations, which follow the tables. "Ordained" denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry by the "laying-on of hands. "Installed" denotes the date of the beginning of his present pastorate. In accordance with the recommendation of the National Council, pastors installed or recognized by council are marked "p. c."; pastors duly called by their Churches and recognized by some "definite act of the Church," but not by council, are marked "p."; others in service are not marked, but in tabular summaries are counted as "supplies." Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to "none," but mean "no report"; but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the Church has no pastor or acting pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes. All post-office addresses are to be found in the "List of Ministers," and NOT IN THE TABLES. 1763 John M. Sears, 1835 Mrs. M. M. Holbrook, 1830 Cyrus K. Wood, 1748 Dea. A.
