REMARKS.

The substance of these remarks, except what relates to the Associa tions, was presented as a report to the General Association.

THE ASSOCIATIONS.-The fifteen Associations report in all 344 members, 40 of whom are living out of the State. The average ministerial age is 20 years: in Fairfield East, Hartford Central and Litchfield North Associations it is 16 years, and in New Haven West and New London Associations it is 26 years. The occupations of three members are not given; among the others are 2 farmers, 11 teachers, 1 president of a college, 6 professors in college and theological seminaries, 1 principal of a Deaf and Dumb Asylum, 6 agents of benevolent societies, 1 chaplain in U. S. Navy, 1 missionary, 54 stated supplies, 176 pastors, and 82 without charge. Of those without charge, some are in secular pursuits, some are out of health, a considerable number are candidates for ministerial service, and nearly half are aged persons.

46 licentiates are reported, 16 of whom, including one re-licensed, have been licensed since July 1, 1861.

In the period from July 1, 1861, to July 1, 1862, 13 licentiates were ordained; 1 as an evangelist, 2 as chaplains in the army, 1 as associate pastor, and 9 as pastors; 7 ministers were installed as pastors; 14 pastors were dismissed; and 8 ministers, including one pastor, died-whose average age was 66 years. One licentiate died-Mr. Edward N. CrossSee p. 79.

THE CHURCHES.-The report of the statistics of the churches covers the year ending Dec. 31, 1861. The number of the churches is the same as in 1860, namely, 283;-282 in this State, and one in the State of New York. Of these churches, 224 are consociated, and 59 are not consociated.

The Statistics.-The statistics of every church are given; and the reports of all the churches, except three, are complete. Indeed, the whole number of questions unanswered in respect to all the churches is only seven, and five of these pertain to one church. Of these three churches, two do not report their absentees, and the third does not give the number of its males, females, and absentees, nor of the adults and infants baptized. In all other respects the statistical reports are complete, in the sense that every question is answered. The tables are more nearly perfect than ever before, and the statistics have been gathered with less delay, trouble and expense than usual. This result is owing to the tho roughness of the collectors and to the good will of the ministers and churches.

Ministers.-Jan. 1, 1862, 10 churches had no minister, 87 had stated supplies, and 186 had pastors, of which 3 had associate pastors. The
