cation with the East by telegraph, the Pacific har steamers, and the transcontinental railways, have enabled the primary markets in the Oriental ports to supplant the old center of the trade in America. Jobbers and large grocers can send their orders directly to the Eastern cities. Intelligence is transmitted so rapidly that the market is constantly well stocked and the margin of profit is small. San Francisco has become an important entrepot, and supplies much of the Western trade; while New York, instead of being the central market as it once was, is only the distributing point for the goods which are unshipped there. The total consumption of teas in the United States was 54,229,822 lbs. in 1877, against 49,127,299 lbs. in 1876, 46,094,596 lbs. in 1875, 52,424,545 lbs. in 1874, and 51,028,904 lbs. in 1873. It is thus Kentucky seen that the use of tea, like that of coffee, has increased during the hard times. Of the conaumption of 1877, less than 15,000,000 lbs. were China green teas, over 20,000,000 lbs. were Japan teas, and over 14,500,000 lbs. Mississippi.. Oolong; the total black tea consumed was 19,000,000 lbs. The Japan teas, which were ârst introduced in this market in 1863, are gaining rapidly in favor, even supplanting the Chinese green tea in the Western markets. The price of tea, and of coffee as well, is frequently of late subject to sudden fluctuations Pennsylvania... on account of rumors of the restoration of a tariff on those staples. The average currency prices of Japan tea, fair to fine, in New York, was 33.25c. in 1877, against 37-04c. in 1876, and 54.91c. in 1875; of Hyson, 32.62c. in 1877, against 33.92c. and 39.79c.; of Oolong, 37-16c., against 44-17c. in 1876, and 40.20c. in 1875. At the beginning of February, 1878, Japan tea, superior to fine, was quoted at 32 to 42c.; in the beginning of March, at 28 to 35c.; in April, at the same rates; in May, the same; in June, the same; in July, at 30 to 38c.; in August, at 26 to 32c.; in September, at 26 to 33.; in October, the same.

The full returns of the wheat exports of the United States for the year 1878, as compiled for the New York Produce Exchange, give 228,293,410 bushels, a gain of 53 per cent. over the previous year. Philadelphia shipped 83 per cent., New York 53 per cent., Baltimore 39 per cent., and Boston 341 per cent. more than in 1877. The potato crop, reported at 124,000,000 bushels, was larger in 1878 than had been expected. The corn crop has been large every year since 1874; the average in 1878 was 51,000,000 acres, against 50,300,000 in 1877, and the yield 30,000,000 bushels greater than that of 1877, which was 1,283,000,000 bushels. oat crop was the largest ever raised. The crop was 60,000,000 bushels, against 51,000,000; The rye barley, 48,000,000, against 34,500,000 bushels. The wool clip, 211,000,000 lbs., was the largest ever got, exceeding by 3,000,000 lbs. that of 1877, in spite of a decrease of 14,000,000 lbs. in California. These figures are from the returns of the Agricultural Bureau.

The number of licentiates was 204; total number of persons in the Sunday schools, 420,523; number of families, 145,012. The

total amount of benevolent contributions reported by 2,735 churches was $1,117,808.44; the amount of contributions for home expenditures reported by 1,503 churches was $2,276,164.37.

The receipts of the American Congregational Union were reported at its anniversary in May to have been $24,633. The Union had advanced to churches the sum of $11,946, and for pastors' libraries $364.77, and had a balance in its treasury of $4,094. Thirty-one churches had been helped. The report gave a review of the twenty-five years' history of the Union. The Rev. Dr. Edwin B. Webb, of Boston, Mass., was elected President at the annual meeting.

The receipts of the American Home Mission

ary Society for the year ending with the anniversary in May, 1878, were $284,486.44, and its expenditures $284,540.71. The Society has employed 996 ministers, who had supplied in whole or in part 2,237 congregations and mis

sion stations, and had 91,762 pupils enrolled

in its Sunday schools. Forty-seven churches had been organized by the missionaries during the year, and forty-six churches had become self-supporting. The number of additions to the churches by profession of faith was 5,027.

The sixty-ninth annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was held at Milwaukee, Wis., beginning October 1st. President Mark Hopkins presided. The Treasurer reported that the total receipts for the year had been $482,204.73, and the total expenditures $486,772.98, of which sum $410,858.55 was charged to the cost of missions, $9,375.64 to the cost of agencies, $2,546.44 to the cost of publications, $16,006.41 to the cost of administration, and $47,985.94 to the account of the balance for which the Board was in debt on September 1, 1877. This statement showed that the debt of the Board had been reduced to $4,568.25. The Woman's Board had contributed $81,235.67 to the support of female missionaries cooperating with the Society, and was supporting about ninety missionaries and giving aid to a large number of native helpers and schools. Ten missionaries had died during the year, eighteen names had been dropped from the rolls, and nineteen new missionaries, including three representatives of the Woman's Board, had gone out. The "General Survey" of the missions gave the following summary of members: Number of missions, 16; number of stations, 79; number of sub-stations, 529; total number of missionaries and laborers connected with the missions, 1,549; number of churches, 248; members, 13,737; training and theological schools, 15; boarding-schools for girls, 26; common schools, 612; total number of pupils, 26,170.

Concerning the condition of the particular fields, it represented that the possibility of civilizing the Indians was made more clear every year. The Dakotas were more and more seeking the privilege of instruction in the schools, the arts of civilized life, and religion, and the schools at the Santee Agency had never been so successful. The work in Spain and Austria had called out much opposition. The question of establishing a mission in Central Africa had been carefully considered. The Zooloo mission, which had fifteen churches with more than six hundred members, and training schools for both sexes, with more than one hundred pupils, was thought to be especially well fitted to become a base of operations.

The thirty-second annual meeting of the American Missionary Association was held at Taunton, Mass., October 29th. E. S. Tobey, of Boston, presided. The report of the Treasurer showed that the receipts for the year had been $195,601.65, and the expenditures $188,079.46. The current receipts had been $13,000 less than in the previous year, but the indebtedness of the Association had been diminished by nearly $40,000. The report of the Executive Committee showed that the educa

tional work of the Association had been vig orously sustained with increasing numbers; various necessary new buildings had been erected in connection with the higher institutions, and considerable attention had been paid to normal teaching. There were 7,229 pupils in the schools, 1,529 of. whom were receiving normal instruction. Five new churches had been organized, making sixty-four in all on the list of the Association, and 368 mem bers had been added. The work among the Indians had been impeded by the unsettled condition of their affairs, but an increasing interest had been shown in education. Twelve schools had been sustained among the Chinese, with 1,492 pupils.

The Congregational Union of Canada, at its twenty-fifth annual session, adopted resolu tions expressing grateful satisfaction and sympathy at the stand which the Congregational Union of England and Wales had "recently felt it to be its duty to take in opposition to the aims and tendencies of skepticism and unbelief as developed by the Leicester Confer ence," and tendering to the Union aforesaid its congratulations that it had been enabled to maintain the position it took, and “to vindicate itself from the imputation of any sympa thy or complicity with the rationalistic theology of the age.'

The annual meeting of the London Mission ary Society was held in London, May 16th. Samuel Morley, Esq., M. P., presided. The contributions received during the year for gen eral purposes had been £63,848, the largest amount ever received in one year from this source; and the total income, including legacies, £10,665 given for the Indian famine, and other extraordinary receipts, had been £138,133. The expenditures had been exceedingly heavy, an increased outlay having been required for carrying out plans for the enlargement of the area and appliances of several of the Society's missions.

The income of the Congregational Home Missionary Society for the year ending in May, 1878, was £6,199, and the expenditures during the same period were £4,876. One thousand members were added to the churches. The Society has been reorganized, and will be known hereafter as the Church Aid and Home Mis sionary Society.

The annual meeting of the Colonial Missionary Society was held in London, May 9th. The total receipts of the Society for the year had been £4,368. The report stated that "in nearly every colony there is a Congregational union, combining all the churches for mission work, formed, as nearly as possible, on the home model, with year book, college, Provident Society, Chapel-building Society, and other Christian agencies in vigorous operation. There are five hundred churches and stations, with an income for religious purposes which can not be less than £100,000 a year, to say nothing of the mass of church, school, and manse prop

erty which has been created and settled in trust"; and claimed that the existence of these organizations was largely due to the work of this Society. Thirty-six missionaries had been employed in the Dominion of Canada; 81 churches and out-stations had been supplied, and a net increase of 403 church members was reported. More than 70 students had been trained in the Congregational College, many of whom were holding important positions in Canada and the United States.

Wales, 17; in Scotland, 8; in Ireland, 1; in
the colonies, 10; in Madagascar, 1. Number
of Congregational colleges and institutions for
ministerial training: in England, 10, with 33
professors and 316 students; in Wales, 3, with
8 professors and 122 students; in Scotland, 1,
with 3 professors and 13 students; in the colo-
nies, 4, with 13 professors and 46 students;
total, 18, with 57 professors and 497 students.
There were also ten institutions in heathen
lands belonging to the London Missionary So-
ciety, training about 300 native students.
The annual meeting of the Congregational
Union of England and Wales was held in Lon-
don, beginning May 6th. The Rev. J. Bald-
win Brown presided as the chairman for the
year. The Committee reported concerning
their operations for the year, which included
arrangements for the publication of two series
of tracts and the reorganization of the Con-
gregational Church Aid and Home Missionary
Society. A conference had recently been held
at Leicester, wholly unconnected with the
Union, but participated in by many Congre-
gationalists, the object of which was to bring
about religious communion without taking ac-
count of the theological opinions of the par-
ticipants; and the result of the meeting had
been to create apprehension that it might be
regarded as the sign of an increasing laxity of
belief among the Congregationalists. Resolu-
tions which had been prepared by the Com-
mittee with the object of meeting these ap-
prehensions, and of defining the theological
position of the churches of the Union, were
adopted, as follows:

The following is a summary of the tables given in the Congregational Year Book" (London) for 1878, to show the number of British Congregational ministers in Great Britain, the Continent of Europe, the British colonies, and the foreign missions: Ministers in England, and English ministers in Wales, 2,087; Welsh ministers, 424; ministers in Scotland, 122; ministers in Ireland, 25; ministers in the Channel Islands, 8; English ministers on the Continent, 8; ministers in the colonies, 311; missionaries of the London Missionary Society, 145; native ordained ministers, 317; total, 3,447. Of these, 2,796 were pastors, and 651 20 were without charge. Congregational unions exist, with their subordinate unions and local associations, and general missionary and benevolent societies, for England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Ontario and Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, Auckland (New Zealand), Natal, South Africa, Madagascar, and Jamaica. Twelve Independent churches are returned in British Guiana, and six in India, besides nine English churches which are supported by the London Missionary Society, five English Union churches, and eleven Tamil, two Canarese, two Teloogoo, one Undu, and one Hindi-in all, seventeen native churches, which are partly self-supporting and presided over by native ordained preachers; and Union chapels are returned at Hong-Kong and Shanghai, China. The English Congregational services on the Continent embrace a church in Paris, with twenty-two stations and sixteen Sunday schools connected with the mission to the workingmen of Paris; churches at St. Petersburg and Alexandrovsky, in Russia; churches at Hamburg and Berlin, and a sailors' institute at Hamburg, in Germany; and a church at Antwerp, in Belgium.

That, in view of the uneasiness produced in the churches of the Congregational order by the proceedings of the recent conference at Leicester on the terms of religious communion, the assembly feels called upon to reaffirm that the primary object of the its own constitution, to uphold and extend evangelical Congregational Union is, according to the terms of religion.

That the assembly appeals to the history of the Congregational churches generally, as evidence that Congregationalists have always regarded the acceptfaith revealed in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and ance of the facts and doctrines of the evangelical New Testaments as an essential condition of religious communion in Congregational churches; and incarnation, the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus that among these have always been included the Christ, his' resurrection, his ascension and mediatorial reign, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the

renewal of men.

The autumnal session of the Union was held ciations and unions was: in England, 41; in port of the Congregational Total Abstinence at Liverpool, beginning October 14th. The re

Association showed that of the 2,492 Congregational ministers in England and Wales, 750 were total abstainers. The chairman of the Union, the Rev. J. Baldwin Brown, opened the regular sessions with an address reviewing the resolutions respecting the faith of the body which had been adopted at the meeting in the spring. While he felt obliged to express his dissent from the resolutions, and doubted the expediency of adopting what seemed so nearly like the enunciation of a creed, he had decided that he would not place himself in the position of the leader of a party and an encourager of schism, and had therefore concluded that he would not resign the chairmanship of the Union, as he had once been tempted to do, saying:

I am of the same mind as in May, and, had I known the Union's intention to formulate a creed, nothing would have induced me to occupy the chair. I am afraid I have little patience toward, or sympathy with, those who would set up sign-posts amid the mists of human doubt. I dread them when they are set up as reliable guides to faith, for just in the proportion to which they are trusted do they beguile the soul from the Divine Guide. Convinced, then, that the Union has lost some of its freedom which made it so dear to me as an ecclesiastical organization, and had taken some retrograde step in presuming to formulate the theology of the Church, I had some temptation to ask you to relieve me from the duties of the chair, but I saw by so doing I should lead a party and create a schism; and these things I hate. More than this, the idea has been borne in upon me that we are really more of one mind about the policy of creed-making than was at first supposed. These resolutions were only a relief to our burdened feeling, and an outery of hearts longing to express their faith and love, rather than an expression of doctrinal formulæ. I would resist most strenuously any effort to frame new forms of doctrine, or to impose them on the brethren. A very substantial unity reigns among us as regards creeds and excommunications. Therefore, for the year of my office, I regard my true place as occupying this chair.

There are many who think that since you have begun to defend doctrines, you should ther, for, since you have commenced to set up guideposts to direct men who wander amid the mists, you should certainly raise one more in reference to man's

immortality. My advice, however, is to "let the dead past bury its dead."

The following resolution was unanimously adopted:

That the assembly, while heartily recognizing all churches which are faithful to evangelical truth and ready to cooperate with them in all Christian service, is impressed with the importance of the increase of a healthy denominational sentiment in the Congregational body, in order to the due administration of Congregationalism as a church polity, and the adequate development of the resources of the churches for the extension of Christ's kingdom; that it earnestly commends the adoption in all the churches of some method of systematic teaching in the Scriptural principles of church organization and order; and that it instructs the Committee, in prospect of a jubilee of the Union in 1881, to make timely arrange ments for the use of special means during that year, by publications and otherwise, for the popular exposition of the principles and adaptations of Congregationalism, and for the promotion of knowledge in regard to its history.

Another resolution, also unanimously adopted, instructed the Committee "to enter into immediate correspondence with the representatives of the non-established evangelical churches, with a view to a conference at an early date on matters connected with the religious condition of England and the cooperation of those churches for the promotion of faith and godliness among the people." Another resolution sanctioned the claims of the Church Aid and Home Missionary Society, advised the formation of an auxiliary of the Society in every Congregational church in England, and expressed the hope that the county associations would labor "to diffuse throughout the churches a spirit of bold and generous enterprise in promoting the objects which the Society contemplates."

The sixty-sixth annual meetings of the Congregational Union of Scotland were held at Edinburgh, beginning April 29th. The income of the Union for the year had been £1,591, and its expenditures £1,780, of which £1,530 were in the shape of grants to churches.

The Welsh Congregational Union, at its seventh annual meeting, held August 6th to 8th, adopted resolutions expressing adherence to the Scriptural views of truth as taught by the fathers in the Welsh pulpit for more than two centuries, and approving the declaration which had been made by the Congregational Union facts of Christianity, "to allay the anxiety that of England and Wales concerning the main had possessed the minds of many in the churches, lest the denomination should lose its hold of the faith once delivered to the saints."

Congregational Missions in Turkey.-The report of the American Board for 1878 gives the following summary of its missionary work in the Turkish Empire: "The moral forces now immediately connected with this Board are represented by 132 devoted men and women from our churches and our best institutions of learning; by over 500 native preachers and teachers in active service; by 92 churches, with a membership of over 5,000; by 20 higher institutions of learningcolleges, seminaries, and boarding-schoolswith an attendance of over 800 youth of both sexes; by 300 common schools, with an attendance of over 11,000; by 285 places of worship, scattered from the Balkans to the Bosporus, and from the Bosporus to the Tigris, where Sabbath after Sabbath over 25,000 men and women are gathered to listen to the gospel message; by the Scriptures in the various languages of the people, now dis tributed by tens of thousands of copies, and a Christian literature, from Sabbath-school lesson papers up to elaborate volumes on the evidences of religion and the history of the church." This Society, which is the principal Protestant Society laboring in Turkey, has taken advantage of the extension of the British protectorate over Asia Minor to call upon the British churches to help support it in its work.
