We rpf;ret the absence of any reference to the spiritual state of the work in the reports presented to Conference. There (■eenis to l)e a lack of interest on some of our circuits and missions in matters essentially ^tcthodistic, caused, we believe, in part by failure to support and u.se our denominational literature. We regret thiit such inadequate provision for ministerial sup^mrt is made on so many lields, and wo consider that tiie frecjuent chiiiii^cs ot men to the extreme limits of Conference, and the etiualiy fre(iiiei)t chanji;ing of married for single men, and rice rerun, causing loss to both ministers and circuits, is not cotiduciv; to the best intei'ests of the work. Your Committee recommend : 1. That wherever practicable circuits and missions be amalgamated so as to (conserve energy and funds to be utilized on new Helds ; and tlmt ministers assist each other in special services and report results to the Conference. 2. That pastors organize and address our young people on the tiis- tinctivo doctrines and ecotiomy of Methodism, and utilize the talent thus developed in conducting services where ministers are not available. 3. That auxiliaries of the W. M. S. and, in our Saljbath Schools, mission bands be established with the view of increasing missionary interest. 1896] METHODIST CONFERENCE. 27 4. That pastors organize and use the latent forces within their church iiiemhership in connection with their pastoral work. "j. That in making arrangements for Conference Sunday care be taken to leave the -younger ministers free to attend the services held in the Confe^rence church. , W. T. CooKSLEY, Chairman. J. C. Spexceu, Secretary. REPORT OF THE SABBATH SCHOOL COMMITTEE. From the district reports that are to hand we gladly note an incref.se on almost every line of Sabl)ath School work. We observe, however, th.\t on many of the preaching appointments throughout the Conference ':o schools liave been instituted, and urge that wherever practicable this bo clone. We fear that too often the Sabbath School is made the fosterpareiit of the cliildren, and thus the most precious element in the child's niornl training is lacking. While it is the teacher's duty to instruct the children in the spiritual truths of Christianity, we cannot think that this in any sense releases the parent. Nor do we think that the Sabbath School takes the place of the „huieh services, and we recommend tlint pastors iind Saljbath School superintendents endeavor to have the children attend iit least one service each Sabbath, and that j)astors be requested to preach to the schools as often as may be arranged with the Sabbatii School superintendents. We also recommend presenting our pledge card for signature to all members of our schools. The returns show about thirty-fiv(> per cent, of those on the roll to be i)ledged abstainers, but we think this percentage could be much increased. Once more we call attention to the fact that but few in our schools are learning the catechisnu We regret tliis, and think it a great mistake, as too often our young people, chietly from this lack, are unable to succes.s- t'ully meet in controversy those who oppose our doctrines and teaching. We recommend that, so far as possible, regular teachers' meetings i)e hold for the study of the lessons, and that not only the topography and history of the Bible lands be presented, but also the great spiritual truths taught by our Master. We rejoice to find that our own Sabbath School literature is largely used, and strongl}' recommend that wiiere other literature is taken our own publications be introduced as soon as practicable. J. F. Betts, Chairman. John Robson, Secretary. REPORT OF THE EP WORTH LEAi.UE COMMITTEE. 1. We have carefully examined the reports from the various districts, and find that there are twenty societies, (342 members, and total amount of money raised $80.'i,08, being an increase of eight societies, 1 11 members and •'f413.f)8. We rejoice over tliis very gratifying showing, and con- gratulate the Epworth Leagues throughout the Province on the activity, earnestness and zeal tliey have displayed in our Master's glorious cause. 28 MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA [1896 2. We call the attention of pastors and presidents of Leagues to tiie necessity of taking up the collection for \he General Board, as we notice that several Leagues have overlooked it during the year. 3. We notice with appreciation the fact that the Executive of the Epworth League Convention adopted our recommendation that repre- sentatives of our Sabbath Schools be elected to the annual conventions, and we assure our younger brothers and sisters of our fervent prayers for their success in the great work in which they are engaged. 4. We greet our General Secretary, Rev. A. C. Crews, most cordially, and congratulate iiim on iiis election to the honorable position which he occupies, and on the success that has attended his labors so far. We pray God that he may be oo strengthened and filled with the Holy Spirit that he may lead tlie great army of young soldiers of the Cross to glorious victory. J. P. Hicks, Chairman. S. J. Thompson', Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. We call the attention of Conference to tlie fact that, although report succeeds report referring to Sabbath desecration, no detinite action has yet been taken to strongly represent the mind of this Conference to tlie consideration of the public authorities. We recommend that this Con- ference again express itself very decisively in condemnation of (jverything fostering such a spirit of desecration in the minds of our people. In enumerating only a few of those things that we regard as violations of the law of the Sabbath, such as bicycling, hunting, fishing, ball playing, and travelling in public conveyances on the Lord's Day, we ask our ministers to continue to discountenance any approach whatever to such violations, and *o impress upon the minds of parents the responsibility resting upon them in the way of educating their children to observe the comiiianci to " keep holy the Sabbath day." The fact that large numbers, even in tlie churches, are indifferent in this matter should arouse us to maintain a firmer front again.st these evils. Particular attention is drawn to the following : 1. The decoration of graves by secret societies on the Sabbath. 2. The advantage taken of the opportunity to send down produce by the Eraser River boats on Sunday. 3. The opening of fruit and cigar stores on this day. We hope that our people will in every possii)le way discourage these objectionable practices. We recommend that our Church join heartily with sister churches in any effort to bring sucli pressure to bear upon our Provincial Legislature and Municipal Councils as will constrain them to do what they can towards bringing about a better oliservance of the Christian Sabbath.

Whereas, liquor is dispensed within the precincts of tlie Parliament liuildings at Ottawa, which fact is a matter of national humiliation and sliaiiie, this Conference places on record its most emphatic condemnation i)f the sanction thus given by our legislators to the destructive indulgence (iml tratiic in strong drink ; and whereas, a general election is at hand, recommends that steps be taken in each constituency to interview candi- dates to ascertain their views on the question of Prohibition, and, when- ever practicable, secure pledges in favor of such legislation, and also that they will endeavor to abolish the obnoxious practice of dispensing liquors on the premises of the Parliament Buildings. :.'. We urge our ministers, office-bearers and memljers to favor the for- mation of Bands of Hope, under the fostering care of the Church, so that our children may be taught the danger of the use of alcoholic beverages, and saved, if possible, from ever tasting of the first cup. 0. Recognizing that " Union is strength," we cordially recommend the ministers, officials and members of our Ghurcii to co-operate with tem- perance organizations. J. WoODSlDE, Chairman. E.

In submitting their fourth annual report of Coluinbiau Methodist Oollege, the Board of Directors desire to express their gratitude to Almighty God for the many blessing.s vouchsafed during the year, and for the measure of prosperity attending the work of the school. The past year has lieen one of much anxiety, owing to the difficultit's ■which always beset the beginning of institutions of this nature, .struggling ■for a place and patronage, while yet without the prestige that conies with ■wealth, history and a large constituency ot former sttidi^nts, who have gone out from their halls to ocoupj' those positions of influence in tlie various walks of life which eniihle thcni to turn to their Alma Mater the patronage and support which arc always necessiiry to success. At a meeting of the Board of Managers held about the beginning of the year, it was found necessary to so arrange as to preclude the necessity for incurring further liabilities, and an agreement was entered into witii the Principal by which lie became responsible for the e.xpenso of ci\rryiiig on the work within the College, receiving as remuneration in full the tecs from students, tlie grant from the (JenernI Conference, and 80 per cent. of collections for the Educational Fund of the Conference. .Students enrolled, 32 ; in attendance, 2-5 ; boarders, 8 ; day students, 17.

A number of sub- scriptions of former years also remain unpaid. This coupled with other causes has made it extremely ditHcuIt for the Board to meet its obligations .ind carry on the work. It is now proposed to consolidate the indebtedness, and to negotiate a loan on the security of the College property. It is believed that such a loan can be obtained upon most favorable terms. In the meantime, the Hoard feels the imperative necessity of realizing upon its subscriptions immediately. Recommendations. It is recommended that, if possible, about the same amount be raised on each circuit and mission for the College Hoard as is assessed upon them for the Superannuation Fund, Also, that all collections be published in the Minates in the schedule for connexional funds, and that delegations he appointed to hold Educa- tional meetings at every appointment, to be followed by a systematic canvass in the interest of the C'ollet;e Fund, arrangements to be made at the Financial ])istrict Meeting.

The nieetinga of tlie Committee were attended by Uev. Dr. Sutlu'rland, wliose valuable suggestions were of great use in clearing away ditlicultics and expediting business. The district memorials were taken up in order. We recommend that the memorial from the Victoria District rn thi' appointment to the Japanese work of a missionary who has sullicitrit knowledge of the language and the character of tlie .Japanese to t'liahlc him to give the necessary guidance and help to this work, be adopted, anil forwarded with this recommendation to the General Hoard of Missions. In reference to the Chinese work, we reconnnend that these miftsions be under the supervision of a white missionary conversant with the language and habits of the people, Re the formation of a new mission to be called " Golden," though recommended by the Committee, it was not adopted by the Conference. Also, another new mission at Trail was recommended, but it was ultimately decided that Trail should be worked for the present from Rossland. The Committee recommended that another new mission be created m Rock Creek and Kettle River, but on motion the Conference resolved that the formation of this mission be left to the judgment of the Super intendent of Missions and the Chairman of the District. We further recommend that the chairmen of districts or the Superiu tendent of Missions attend the August Quarterly (Jfficial Board meetini;8 on missions, and urge upon the people the necessity of increasing their contributions in aid of mission work in the Province, The annual report of the Coqualeetza Institute, which is of a satisfac- tory character, is herewith appended. C. Ladner, Chairman. J. Jessop, Secretary. REPORT OF COQUALEETZA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE. The past ytac ii^s been one of prosperity in the history of the Institute. The number ot pupils received was 19, and the number discharged 11, as against 5.5 received and 3.5 discharged during the previous year, showing a more satisfactory condition. There are at present 40 girls and 53 boys on the roll, making a total of 93. The health of both teachers and scholars has been generally good, no death and no case of severe illness having occurred during the year. The regulations of the Indian Department now make it easier to retain our pupils. Many of the parents have signed an agreement to allow their children to remain in the Institute during the pleasure of the Department. The Indians generally manifest great contidence in -the Institute, as i'^ shown by their voluntarily placing their sons and daughters under our care from over twenty diH'erent reserves. The Institute was honored during the year by a visit from their Excellencies the (iovernor-Genenil and the Countess of Aberdeen, who, with their children and suite, care- imC)] METHODIST COXFEUENCE. 37 fully inspected tlip liuikliii^s aiul t\w work done liy the pupils in tli(> various dopartinents, imd oxpre.ssi'd themselves as (greatly delighted with what they had seen and hearil. At New Year we were favored with the iUtoiidaiii;e of two Indian hraas l)ands from adjacent rnserves as a spon- tutii'ous expression of friendliness l)y Indians of another denomination, riiis was a very pleasing event. AVliile deeply rei,'retting tlie lack of stiiMlity ill the religious ciiaracter of many of the pupils, we note with i.'r;ititude the fidelity and eon.sistency of the few whose faith seems to li.ivi' become firmly established. Several of the senior hoys and girls give liriiiiiiso of usefulness in the Lord's vineyard in due time. A high stimlard of morality lias hcen very genemlly sustained during the year, aiul all the pupils are carefully instructed in religious truth and duty. The .Sunday evening services and Epworth League held in the Institute s.lioolroom have he'"! means of considerable blessing. These are largely iittcniled liy the uliite people of the neighborhood. Not only the iiii'iiiliers of the staff, but all the children have contributed more or less to tiif Missionary Fund.
