HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799, in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the theology of Sam- uel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president. The Society was incorporated in 1808.
Origin of Massachusetts Home Missionary Society
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper (which had come into being in 1818 to "see every parish in the State well supplied with a faithful Minister of Christ"), were united under the name of the Massachusetts Missionary Society. This meant that while the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the Massachusetts Mission- ary Society was henceforth to work almost exclusively in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home" Mission- ary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of America.
Origin of Massachusetts Conference
The General Association of Massachusetts came into being in 1802. This ultimately became the Massachusetts Congregational Conference. The Conference then merged with the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society in 1927, to become the Massachu- setts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society. This was the result of twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. In 1953 the name was changed to Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference. In 1966 the name was changed again to the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ. The Conference assumes responsibility for all Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts. It has an Executive Staff who gives ministerial and executive leadership to a broad program of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellowship of the ministers and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denominational and inter- denominational projects and programs.

BYLAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONFERENCE OF THE
UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
ARTICLE I
Purpose and Terminology
1. The purpose of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ as stated in its charter (1799) is "diifusing the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ . . . and in concert with other ecclesiastical bodies for the general increase of Christian union and spiritual efficiency and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom on earth."
2. Whenever in these Bylaws the word Conference is used it shall be held to refer to the Corporation as a Conference of the United Church of Christ and as a Conference of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Churches.
3. All Churches which are members of Associations in voluntary fellowship with and recognized by the Conference, whether or not such Churches are a part of the United Church of Christ, are entitled to elect voting members of the Conference in accordance with these Bylaws.
4. Whenever in these Bylaws the word "Area" is used, it shall be held to refer to those Associations or combinations of the Associations decided upon by the agree- ment of the respective Associations and recognized by the Conference.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circumstances exercise authority over Churches or individuals or interfere with the government or discipline of the Churches. It shall advise and counsel the Churches when requested, but it is recognized that each Church has the power of self-determination in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds of the Church Universal and of this Communion.

In each year the Conference shall convene its Annual Meet- ing within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the third Friday of May (or at such other time within the period from April fifteenth through June fifteenth as the Board of Directors may deem expedient) for the election of Officers, Executive Officers, Committees, Councils, and a Board of Directors for full or unexpired terms, as the case may be, the hearing of reports, the determination of the annual rate of Fellowship Dues to be proposed to the Churches, to act on the recommendation of the Board of Directors concerning the amount or proportion to be retained from Our Christian World Mission giving of the Churches, and the transaction of other business- Each year the Conference also shall convene a Fall Meeting within said Commonwealth on the third Saturday of October (or at such other time within the period from September fifteenth through November fifteenth as the Board of Direc- tors may deterniine) ; provided, however, that the Conference at any Annual Meet- ing may vote not to hold the Fall Meeting that year. The budget of the Conference ordinarily shall be presented for adoption at the Fall Meeting, but in any year when the Board of Directors recommends not to hold the Fall Meeting, and it is so voted, then the budget shall be presented for adoption at the Annual Meeting.
2. Special Meetings.
a. Special meetings of the Conference may be convened by the Board of
Directors, at such times and places within the Commonwealth as may be determined by the Board, provided, however, that notice of any special meeting and the purposes thereof shall, at least three weeks before the date of the meeting, be sent by mail to each of the Churches entitled to send delegates to the meeting, posted in the general office of the Confer- ence and printed in newspapers published in Boston, Worcester and Spring- field.
b. A special meeting of the Conference shall be convened by the Board of Directors upon receipt by the office of the Secretary of the Conference or Chairman of the Board of Directors of a written petition stating the pro- posed purposes, and signed by not less than one hundred persons who shall be voting members of the Conference as defined and who shall represent at least fifty Churches, within sixty days of the receipt of such petition unless an already scheduled meeting of the Conference will be held within ninety days.
c. No action shall be taken on any item of business not specified in the notice
of the meeting.
3. Call to Order. The Moderator, or in his absence the Vice Moderator, shall call the meeting to order and preside . In the absence of both of them , a member of the Board of Direc- tors shall call the meeting to order and conduct the election of a Moderator Pro-tempore.

Changes in the budget, either increases or decreases, (except hereafter noted) shall not be considered on the floor of the Conference Meeting unless a written proposal has been filed with the Office of the Treasurer at least ten days prior to the meeting. However, any increases or decreases in the budget may be proposed on the floor of the Conference meeting without advance notice provided % of the delegates vote to consider the proposal.

MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL FUND
First Trust — a balanced fund Second Trust — an inconne fund Third Trust — an equity fund
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund was established in 1945 as a means of bringing professional investment management to bear on the handling of the capital funds of the Massachusetts Conference and churches and organizations affiliated with it. In nearly three decades the Fund has provided continuity and the steady application of sound investment principles to the assets put in its care.
The three trusts named in the heading operate as mutual funds with no loading and a minimum of expense. The First National Bank of Boston provides the custody of the assets, the collection and dis- tribution of income and investment service. Each trust has a differ- ent objective as indicated by their names so that separately or in combination almost any objective may be achieved. The net assets of the three irusts now approximate over $10 million market value.
The officers and members of the Fund's Board, composed of busi- ness and financial executives well known in Massachusetts, ask con- sideration of the churches for the investment of additional funds in one or more of the trusts. They are open for new subscriptions (and redemptions) four times each year, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 upon prior application.
The performance of the Fund, whether judged by the past year's results, or over a long period of time, is such as to indicate sound and capable operation and to justify churches using the Fund's trusts with confidence as effective vehicles for investing their capital assets.
President George H. ElHs
Vice President T. Michael Middleton
Treasurer Ralph F. Tuller Clerk & Assistant
Treasurer Emil C. Beck
Any officer or member of the Board will gladly provide further information and answer questions. Address: P. O. Box 2246, Framingham, Ma. 0170! Phone: 617-875-5233
MASSACHUSETTS CONFERENCE PLANNED GIVING PROGRAM
The Conference's Planned Giving Program is a new opportunity, developed in cooperation with the United Church Board for Home- land Ministries, the United Church Board for World Ministries and the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance, for members of the Conference's churches to make a major gift to the work of the Church in exchange for a guaranteed annual life income.
By "the irrevoc^blelransfer wow of a capital asset, the donor and/ or another will receive an annual income for life, or a term of years not exceeding twenty, based on official U.S. government treasury tables; the donor will receive certain tax advantages; and the donor may determine at the time of the gift the way in which that asset will be used at the end of the income period. The donor's local church, the Maissachusetts Conference, and the three Boards, or anyone of the preceding five, or a combination thereof, may be the ultimate beneficiary of such a gift, depending on the wishes of the donor. .,
Life-income plans include: Gift Annuities, Deferred Payment Gift Annuities, Pooled Income Fund, Unitrusts and Annuity Trusts.
