REMARKS.

The Summaries which have been given under this head, will be found incorporated in the Narrative this year. The table of Associations is omitted, but their membership is given in the Alphabetical List.

Much care has been taken to have the "List of Ministers" accurate, for the date of October 1st. Some late changes in it may possibly not be found in all the previous comparisons, or partial summaries. The names of ministers without charge are not as carefully reported by the County Secretaries, in some cases, as they should be; and I would ask that this item receive more attention in the future. Any change needful, in the "List of Ministers," whether additions or removals, should be indicated in his own county by each Secretary. The column giving the organization of the churches, is not filled out with care. In too many cases, the year only is given, without the month and day. If these were once fully reported, the question might afterwards be omitted from the blanks, and the column be reproduced, if desirable, from year to year. Will every clerk see that the full date is given next year, whenever it can be discovered? In a few cases it is hopelessly lost; and in some, perhaps. a double date should be given, indicating an important reorganization, and' still preserving an older, which is too important to be left in obscurity.

Our system of reporting still lacks somewhat of completeness. The General Association now charges one Secretary with the full responsibility, and he has a right to ask that each County shall do the same, and not embarrass him and increase his labors, by the necessity of corresponding with more than one in each county. In some of the counties, different persons are still charged with the Statistics, and the Narrative Report. In the two largest Conferences, the result this year was that the latter did not reach me until the Narrative had gone to the printer; and one of them has not yet been heard from. It is very desirable that pastors and others receiving copies of the Minutes, should give them, by loaning, as wide a circulation as may be.

H. A. HAZEN, Statistical Secretary.
