THE AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL UNION.

Quarterly Statement.

APPROPRIATIONS have been paid since those reported in the Congregational Quarterly for January, as follows:

The church-building work of the Union has one peculiarity which should com. mend it to the favorable consideration of the churches. The money which is devoted to the house of worship is a permanent investment. At the end of the year the money is not consumed, it does not disappear, but remains, in an important sense, unexpended. We speak of this as a peculiarity. In the missionary work, at the end of the financial year, the money is gone. It has been consumed in the support of living men,-judiciously expended, no doubt, but literally expended. There is no property to show for it. Is it said that there are moral results to show for it? This is true. So there are moral results from a house of worship, which will go on accumulating from year to year. But in the case of the church-building work there is also the property itself, unexpended, a permanent investment. Thus it is not improbable that the church property now existing as the result of the investment made by the Union for the last twenty years is worth to-day all and more than the original cost. Including the Albany and the Forefathers' funds there have been devoted to the churches directly $650,000. Some of the houses built have passed out of our hands or been given over to decay; but others have been replaced with more costly edifices, which would never have been built had not the more humble structures preceded them. It is no insignificant consideration in favor of this work that it involves the establishment of this permanent fund for the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom. The money given to the churches every year remains as a source of influence for many years, or, it may be, for all time. Those who labor for permanent results will appreciate this peculiarity in our work.

The present condition of the treasury makes its own appeal to the churches. The officers of the Union do not make an outcry as to debt. They are the almoners of the churches, and dispense only what is committed to them as a trust. The treasury is empty and the work is pressing its claims. It is for the churches to say how much shall be done.
