"We have no place in which to hold a Sabbath school, and we are not yet connected with any conference. It is the only Congregational Church in the state; our nearest neighbors are the Congregational churches in Philadelphia, the pastors of which have several times been down and preached to us. We are just commencing to build a church. We are building as cheap and plain a building as we can, large enough to seat two hundred people. We think we will be self-sustaining in a year after we get into our church."

Of the Pennsylvania churches, one is connected with the Ohio Conference; ten with the General Association of New York; fifteen, or thereabouts, with the "Congregational Association of Western Pennsylvania"; and thirty-one with the "Pennsylvania Welsh Congregational Union Association,”. -"Congregational in every sense of the word," writes one of their pastors.

The tables have a very incomplete look; but that was unavoidable. Most of the reports were got by direct and voluminous correspondence; and the Welsh Association has never required a list of communicants in the several churches; only a general statement of the state of religion." We have the satisfaction, however, of having secured, for the first time, a complete list (we believe) of the churches and ministers; and we have assurance of figures next year. Of the Welsh churches, some are small: the largest, which is at Ebensburg, will number from 400 to 500 communicants." One of their pastors writes that they will average 75 members each. We include these in the Summary. The letter "W," above, denotes Welsh churches. At Pittsburg, a chapel is just finished by the Plymouth church, which realizes, from rent and premiums, near $4,000. "A large number are awaiting admission to the church." "The brethren are moving for a new church."

We regret that repeated efforts failed to get any reply whatever from the First and Second churches in Philadelphia. Their total silence does not speak well for fraternity.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The First Congregational Church in Washington was organized in October, 1865, and recognized by Council November 15,- having 107 members, 18 more being added at the first communion, making 125. The acting pastor is Rev. Charles B. Boynton, D. D., who is also chaplain of the House of Representatives of the Thirtyninth Congress. The attendance was large from the commencement of public worship in September; and the prospects of soon having a large, vigorous, and flourishing church are most encouraging. Congregationalists in Washington are numbered by thousands.

The previous attempts to establish a permanent Congregational Church in the national capital have failed. A church was formed in 1852, which maintained public worship, with long intervals, for about six and a half years; and an experiment of three months was also made, in the spring of 1864, under auspices not favorable to success.

In addition to Rev. Dr. Boynton, other ministers in Washington are as follows: Charles M. Blake, Solomon P. Giddings, D. B. Nichols, Jacob R. Shipherd (Freedmen's Aid), William A. Thompson.
