Excerpt from The Canadian Congregational Year Book, 1880-81 Although the resolution to bring out this 'edition at the earliest possible date after the annual meetings has been adhered to, it will be found that in nearly all the information concerning our denomination at large the facts are brought down'to the recent May Meetings both in England and the United States, thus putting our churches at once in possession of the latest informa tion. In this I'am greatly indebted to the kindly and prompt assistance rendered by the representatives of Congregational Societies both in Great Britain and the United States. Although I have by no means reached my ideal as to what the year Boox should be, still it must with its perceptible imperfections be given to the Churches such as it is.
