Excerpt from The Congregational Yearbook, 1879: Issued Under the Sanction of the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States, by Its Publishing Committee, and Containing the General Statistics of Those Churches for the Last Year As those statistics had for some time been published by private enterprise in the Congregational Quarterly, - for whose prosperity none but the warmest de sires were by any person expressed, conference was sought with its editor and proprietor, in the hope of effecting some arrangement by which the Council might assume its own proper function without conflict with his interests. As the result, in the impression that a generous course would best suit the feelings and judg ment of all concerned, the committee, a year ago, made proposals which, after some additional stipulations by the owner of the Quarterly, were accepted. The committee consented to the prior appearance in the Quarterly for January, 1878, of the statistics which it prepared and authorized, and also paid the proprietor in money and in the free use of its type, which cost it, and saved him, money a sum amounting to three fourths of the entire capital invested by him in his journal, at the estimate he then appeared to put upon it. The committee did all this (as they understood it), expressly reserving to the Council. In View of the con sideration paid and the arrangement made, the right at any future time to publish a year-book, should such a course seem to be expedient, without further consider ation of the relation of the Quarterly to the subject. The owner of the Quarterly expressed to the committee and others his entire content with this as a liberal arrangement. The committee (which includes the two original proprietors and editors of the Quarterly) also believed that the January statistics had always been an expensive encumbrance to its pages; and that, were its owner to remit their publication to a year-book, and devote the space - with the large amount of money - thus saved, to matter of a more pop ular quality and a more miscellaneous value, he might reasonably hope to enlarge materially its circulation, and make it pecuniarily profitable.
