In another, Cantly acd I'ortlaud, there are six preacliing stations, and in another, liearbrook and Cambridge, fonr. The labor involved in working those flolds is very great, and daring the year this arduouK labor has been performed with a zeal, and earnestness, and spirit of solf-sacrifieo Worthy of commendation, and with result* more or less manifest and encouraging, lu one of the other fields, whicli are snpplied by a Student daring the Summer months, an ordained mis- sionary is now laboring with great acceptance and marked encouragement.

All tho migflontries and colporteurs report an incrfawng interef t in the Missiun in the part (if the French ebantymon and a desire for larger qusnlities of French publications for distribu- tion. The Hupply of French literature duriug the pa-t season has been about aa la'gc as during any precoliug sea83n, and has bean furnished throuKli the kindoesi of Mr. Jame? Court, of Mon- trtral. but the oomoiiltee trust that tbe increasing demand will be mot by an inc ea-inu supply. Your committee have to express, as in former renorts, their ilinnks to the Beligiooa 'Iraot 8ov,.cly of London, and to the publishers of tlie " British Workman, ' who, in addi ion to tbe wsistancB rendered by suppbinf; their publications at very low rales, have ma'erially aided the work if the Mission by gratuitous grants l^t distribution. They are also indebted to the man- agers and a.onts of many of the lumber tirms tor assistance in forwarding and distributing parcels of publicatioDB. Thi< Mission has been specially entrusted by the General Assembly to the eup'rvision and support of tlio Synod ot Montreal end Ottawa, and althongh an ircreising number < f cocgreiia- liiins contribute to the funds of tlie Misfion, yet tha great majority of the congrfgatiooR within tho baands of tbe Synod still fail to render any assistance. The committee ate of opinion that the work of the Mission should, at least during tbe winter, receive tho undivided ifforls of esvo- rnl missionaries, and they would endosvor to sec.ire the services of such mf-n if the funds at tbe.ir dispoeal were sufficient to warrant the engagement o! them. In the meantime they recommend that, as heretofore, there be secured for tho Mission, during p«rt of the winter, the services of some of those ordained ministers or mi'siooaries whose fields of luVor arc adjic at to the lumber- ing districts. Tbey also recommend that, in future, increased supplies of French publications be procured for distribution- The very encouraging results that have hitherto attended tbe Mission and the increasing interest in It manifested by the ehantymen, lead your committee to hope Ihat a more libeial support will b» given to this work, and ihat the Oburch may thus extend her efforts nn behalf of this numerous but neglected class of our fellow-countrymen. The Mission is tot oud whose re- mits may be directly manifested in the statistics of the Chnrch. yet, none the less, it is an im- portant branch ol our Home Mission work that may largely affect tbe work of the Church both in our Englisli aud Ftooch Mission fields.

ThiK year the harvest is by no means an average one. The whole stations before my arrival never raised 9200. An advance has been ni idu of 9100 this year, in the face of heavy expenditures con- sidering tbeoircum^tanossof our people htre with no ohuroh boildiugs. Prince Albert is different from almost any plaoe in Manitoba, altogether different from any in Muskoka. The prepoader- ating element is still half-breed Indians. The white settlers have come here within the past two or three years, and like all other new beginners have no large stock of worldly goods. The committee may not think the people here have doue enough. Had tuey fall ooguizauce of all the oircumetances, 1 am sure they would be the first to admit that they have all more even that could be reasonably expeoted. The new Managing Committee intend making a thorough can- vass of the whole held. I have no doubt tho reHult wilt shew some increase in contributions The fact that it ih the head-quarters of the Episcopal Churoh for N. W. T., requires all the more Htremioui efforts to liold their own. I may also state that the 9300 given by the people for the support of Miss Baker is regarded bv them as a contribution to the church, as previous to her arrival it was part of the salary of the foreign missionary, who took part in tcaobing as well as preaching. This arrangement terminates next July. The school will then he a public one, without any aid from foreign misi>ion8.

Contributions to General Fund $39,649.33 Collected by Students Missionary Societies, Knox and Montreal 3472.97 Collected by Lumberman's Mission 600.00 In closing this Raport, the Comraittoe would earnestly press upon ministers and office bearers' a clue recognition of the vast extent of our great Home Mission field. In proimrtion as its claiman nfcessities .ire intelligently presented to our congregations, will be the liberal resiKinse of the mem' bership, The germ of Home Mission work is to be found, in our Lord's words addressed to his dis" ciples : "That repentance should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jenisa' lem." And just in proportion as this department is energetically prosecuted, will all the other SI hemes prosper. Our country, especially in the North-west, is growing under the pressure o a stimulus th t is unprecedented. Itsprogress is "like the forced marches of armies." A fixsd char- acter for all time, is now being given to the nation. The question before us is, "shall the Church ( onvert the land, or shall the powers of evil outstrip it, in the struggle for supremacy ?" As has been well said : "Ours are the promises, promises great and sure, because the emergency is great. We cantn/t afford to wait— the plans of God will not wait. We are shut up to a perilous alternative. Immeasiu'able opportunities surround and overshadow us. That which is to be dore here, must be (line soon. If this continent is to be saved to Christ, and if the immeasurable power of its re- sources and its prestige is to be insured to the cause of the world's conversion, the ciitical bulk of th« work must be done now. The decisive blowf of conquest must be struck now. For reasons of eiigency, e(|ual1y imperative with those with those which crowded Jerusalem upon the attention of the apostoUc pioneers, this country stands on the roll of evangelical entet prise .o-day. "Now or never" must therefore be the motto of success in Canadian Home Missions." It must rejoice this General Assembly to know tliat a spirit of missionary enthueiasni pervades all our Theological Institutions, and that numbers are oflfenug for neglected Mission fieliU. Instead of seekmg more luciatiye and prominent positions in the older provinces, they are ready to go wherever the church would have them labour. Suruly such a spirit of consecration demands of the churc'a, irn'reasing prayer and ijrcstcr libcrslitr, thai ihcy may be not only ciaincnily succ±.;ifui, but also adequately supported in their arduous labourt. 50 00 25 00 33 14 4 00 3 00 25 00 33 00 25 00 4 (X) 26 25 20 00 1 25 8 8-J 8 00 10 00 17 00 16 00 r, 00 2 30 6 00 10 00 16 06 6 67 25 00 5 00 7 66 5 89 10 00 6 50! xxxu APPENDIX.

REPORT OF (J():\lMrrTEE ON HOME MISSIONS. MARITIMK I'lIOVINCKS, l,s,^2. In submittiuv,' their Annual Report, the Committee have to state tbiit no ehantjo has taken place in the f,'eneral features of the work, or in the mode of conductin:,' it, and tliey have no striking' facts to narrate. New districts are not Iiein;,' n]iened u]) for settlement in the Maritime Provinces, and popiiliition is iiicre.asitif,' very slowly ; and as a cons.Miuence, few new congregations have been orf,'ani/.ecl, and not many new statiims sujiplied. Little more can bo said thau that the old f,'round bius been held, and some ])roi,'ress made In tlie diri.'ctiou nf a fuller cultivation; and this has been doiie under the disailvanta;,'e nf youni,' men and families removing to lands giving promise of an easier and more abundant liveliboiid. The work has enu-aged the services of twelve ordained ministers, nine prob.ationer.s, and twenty- one studi'nt missionaries in all forty-two, as against fortytive fur the preceding year. Of the twelve ordained ministers, three were located, and nine itinerated ; but the latter class were not in all cases enipliiyed under the t'ommittee for the whole year ; so that the average service of ordained ministers would be abo\it eight for the twelve months. Of the nine probati^re,,etition .-f _ tbeir^^ ,„..|ti.,n is therefore unnecessary .]l:"'^j' ^}'J'f^^^^^ C.n.n.ittee a^reeinK in the 'Mr. Si.therhuul, wlio was enKage.l by tl e I f«» V^,"^?^^ tu , rovi.le i^m), the Presbytery to trv and ,,ec,.liar circinnstancps of the O.lony an 1 of tl t ' ' ""^ ,„', ,,ant, two-thire Missionary's labours >';;«'•-[. ,/;f''"^'jVXr J'ei.k-s the Sabbath preaehmb', (..iv.n to the C;oh,ny an. one-tlur.l to lie |' '''1"\; , 'V;',",; "n .1 tferent h.ealities, visite.l eighty- which was well attended he eondueted f'''\^/; />, "'":; ^J,'led four to the Con.inunion J' I ; '^ plf, ;^^J i,,„„u„ ; an.i occasionally In the latter, ho supnlie.l regularly J illey, -^ ' '"' "^' /'" the n mth of the Tobique.

Mr. (Jrant returnin_' to his post one year:u;'i, immediately resumed his work, which is truly a^'re.at •ne. with his characteristic enerj-'y and /c;il. In this work he has been faithfuUy assisteil by Lai liehari an.l (ieori^e Sadaphal as well asliy .Mr. .Joseph (,'orshie, teacher in the San Fernando School, Sisteen schools with a ndl of ilL'li and an a\era^e of -117 scholars thoUL;li tau^dit by others, and most of the teachers have done their part well -must make a lar:,'e dennuiil on tiiM' and streu^'th for super- iotendatice. Jlut not in vain lia\ * liuic and strenu'tii been so devoted, for .Mr. Cranthad the satisf.ac- tion and joy of reporting, that never was there so much interest shown in his ainnial e.vaniinations, and never did the scholars show more decided pro;.;ress. Mr. Corsbie's school maintains its character and usefulness. The three (Jovernment supjxirted schools in the Indian .Settlements were hindered by bad roads during' the wet season, but a good work has been diuie ainonL; the adults, some having' bsen baptizad, while others are candidates. In addilinn tothe six stations which have regular Sabbath service in Hindustani, an English and a Hindustani ser\ ice are liehl in San Fernando. Here also the .Sabbath-school Hourishe.s, scholars seventy-live, and all the teachers .\siatics, axcept Mr. Ceorge Lambie and Mrs. (irant. Another interesting and excellent arrangement is, that the teachers of the day schools meet every .Saturday morning with Mr. (irant to report and to bein.structed, and in the evening the Sabbath-school teachers meet to study the lessons for next day. The progress of liberality, as well as of general prosperity, in the Asiatic congregations is shown by the notice which they sent .at the New Year, that for l.S.><2 they will provide anol/icr liniity-Hn /joiinc/.-! sdr/int' towards their piustoi's salary, making in .all one hundred ami twenty-live pounds.

'I'roui the time when he w..Mit to Ked Hiver, in lS"d, until the close of his career on the I'.'th ot l''.-hriiiiry last, he took a deep interest in the tenipor,-,! and spiritual welfare (if the Indian triti's. And from the summer of l,Si;i;. wleui Hev. .lames Ni.shet w.is - -i.t to escalilish the I'riiicc Alliert Mi-siou on the Saskatchewan. I'.ev. l)r.

His removal leaves a lilank which will not he easily tilled. Your Committee can noloie.'ei- enjoy his wise counsel and Ltenerous services, but they have, at le.ist, the example of his unostentatious zeal,' his loviu;; spirit. !ind his Cliristian devotednes's, to -.tinmlate them in the jiroseeution of that work which lav so near hi; heart, I'rince Albert, the eaili.'st of our Indian stations, has, liy the inHux of white »eltlers, iiiiii tu.- chan^'es in the aliori^'iu.il |io],ulalioii. liecome less important la terly as a centre of Indian Mis^io.i-. but BNCellent service 1ms been rendered liy the school which has been carried on by .Miss Baker with Hreat success duriii.r the year. The school is supported partly liy the Ivi-lish-speakiiig settlors, and iiartly by your <'ommittee. The ICiikdish residents have shown a marked appreciation of Miss linker'? liiC'h 'piaMtles as a teacher.

" Fhe hopes of future peace and prosperity" which were then thankfully rec.u'ded appear to have been illusory. ,\ st.ate of matters eineii,'ed in the course of the vear which, taken in connection with the past history of the Missicn rendered the recall of one of the missionaries an unwelcome nei'essity. Ihe iMi.ssi.m C'ouncirin Central India liaving, in a cuumunication dated the (ith December, m\, for reasona therein set forth, ie(iuested the recall of Itev. .f. M. Douglas, your Committee met and gave the vvhole Hubiect very carefid consideration, ami after lengthened deliberation they ilecided unaniimjusly to recall Mr bouglas. In arriving at this grave d(5cision your Committee did not feel themselve.s in a position to piuss judgment on the reasons alleged liy the ( 'ouncil in making their re(iuest. 1 hey baaed their action upon their general and somewhat varied information resi,ecting the past hi.story and tlui present state of the Mission, and upon their knowledge of the conditions essential to its peace and piMsiierity, due weight being, of course, given to the formal representation of the Council. The iiroper mode of dealing with ditticulties .and dissensions such as have arisen in your -Miasion in Central India, is worthy of the special .attention of the tJeneral Assembly. It has forced itself uDon the thoughts of all who for .any considerable time have had to do practically with the workings ot Foreign Missions. Perhaps no course can be f./ieAved which is Hot attcndeu ivitn somewhat perplexing ditiiculties.

Junor and tliat ^rentlenian, and coi,'nat« paiiirs, herewith transmitted, supjily detailed information in reference to the t,iound of compiaint, and reveal a state of matters wliicli we cannot suppose Her Majesty's Dovernnient will allow to continue. It may he neei-s'sary to .state that t>'n yeais a:-,'.' the Canadian IVsliyterian Church estatdished a Mission (Jn the northern part of tie/ i.shind of Formosa, witli its lieadi|Uarters at Tanisui. The Mission has bi'en conducted with marked aliility, prudence and success. Twenty chapels have been erected, each of which has been supplied with a native trained heljier. More than three hundreii persons have been withered into the fellowship of the Christian Church, anrl between one anil two thousand Chinese, who have aliandoned heathenism, worship regularly in the chapels. Seven schools have been opened for the training of the c'.ildren. In Tamsiii an hospital was opened at the commencement of the Mission, which has done niuch to alleviate human sulferim;, and to establish friendly relations between the Chinese and foreigners. More than nine thousand ]>ersons ha\e received medical treatment in it. This institiition has enjoyed the cordial support of the small Ku-opean community, ami has received liberal donations from wealthy natives. It is at present under the care of Dr. C. II. Johansen. This work, which you will r.-adily agree with us in reu'anling as fitted to promote the temporal and .s|iiritual welM)eing of the people, has been seriously threatened by the unfriendly attitude a.ssunied toward.t Mission.s by H. U. JI.'s Consul, T. Watters, Esq., almost from the moment of his arriv.a! at Tamsiu. The hostility which the work encountered from the Chinese, at the outset, had largely disa[ipearod, until it received encouragement from this unh)oked-for source. In the month of March last, Mr. Walters allowed his feelings to hurry Idm into a course of action fitted to inflict grave injury on our Nlis-sion, an 1 to reflect no creilit on the ISritish name. The facts, in brief, are the.se: It aj. pears that one of the Consid's Chinese servants had complained of receiving abusive treatment in the hosiiital from the medical assistant, one Kheng. There is good reason to believe that the entire charge was a pure fabricilion. I'-ut the Consul, without any iiniuiry into the real facts, at once ordered tlie arre>t of Klu-m;, and had him confined in the Consulate. Kev. K. F. .lunor and Dr. < '. H. Joliansen immediately called upon the Consul, and asked for an e.xaminatiim, liut were refused ; and the same diiy Khen4 "as lianded over, without inipiiry or e\amination, to the Chinese authorities, who, willing to gratify the representative of a friendly Power, immediately, without even the form of a trial, ordered hiui to receive forty stripes, and this severe and unmerited janiishmeiit was publicly adndnistered in the ]>resence of a large crowd. We do not ask Her Majesty's Covernment to interpose in reference to the internal adndnistration of justice in China, but we think vou will not deem us unreasonable if we ask that we shall be allowed to ptn'sue our Mission work fre.' from hostile intiuem-es emanating from H. 15. M.'s Consuls, In this case, it is evident that the Consul has intirjiosed, and made himself a principal in a ditfier.lty between two (.'hinamen : and instead of em] iloying his good offices to .secure, as fai' as possihle, juM.ice between man and man. he has interfered, and only too successfully, s.. a- to bring a cniel and disgraceful punishment upon a Christian convert, who.ie only real crime is thrit he has long been a faithful servant of our Mis.sion. From the papers which accompany this letter, your T.ordship will observe that Kev. K. F. Junnr, after failing to get any redress from \\. B. M.'s Consul at Tamsui, appealed on '2M\ May last by letter to .Sir Thonuis Wade, Her Maje>ty's Mini.-ter at I'ekin. We regret to learn, by oin- latest conuuunication from < 'hina. that after u aiting nearly seven months, Mr. tlunor had not received any reply from Pekin, or even an acknowled^'ni.'ut of the receipt of his connnunication. In these circumstances, we feel, it necessary to liring the matter under the immediate notice of your Lordship. Had the action of H. B. M.'s Cimsul been merely an isolated elmllition of unfriendly feeling towards Christian Missions, the practical effect coidd not but have been very injurious, but we would have retrarded it as a smaller matter. It is, liowiner, very far from a solitary mainfestation. He came to Tamsui with a reputation which caused anxiety to the friends of Missions, and since his arrival he has made no secret .if his feeliie-'s. When he entered upon his duties at Tamsui, the case of a Christian who was beaten almost to death, which his predecessor had pursued nearly to a successful issue, came into his hands, and he let it droji immediately. His sentiments, especially after the ca.se of March last, soon became well known to the entire community, and evil-dis|)osed persons were not plow to take lueouragement from Ids attitude, A succession of annoyances and outrages followed. No less than four robberies were connnitted on as many chapels, for which no redress has been obtained, and no ettective steps taken to secure it. Lenu'thened correspondence has taken jilace lietween our Missionary, iiev. K. F. Junor. and the Consul, in reference to several of these ciwes, in wdiich the latter has manifested the same spirit as is evinced in the correspondence which we have lirought specially under your Lordship's notice. We deem it unnecessary at iire^ent to enter into details. Let it suttice to say, that the iirotection secured by Treaty of (;r»at Britain and other Christian powers for those who are engaged in the orderly prosec\ition of ndssionary work in China, is now, thnnigh the attitude assumed by H. B. M.'s Consul at Tamsui, practicallv denied to mu' ^iission stall in northern Formosa. In view of the fact..- brought out in this communication, and the accompanying papers, we trust Vinu' Lordship will, at your earliest con\enience, take such steps as will effectually lirevent II. B. il.'s Consul at Tamsui from making use of his official power and influence to gratify feelings of APPENDIX. 1xxx\'ii, T.ersonal -vversion to Christian Misniona.

Wo believe it ia no secret tlmt the asBititant is a voiinj? man, a student who lias not compl -tfiil Lis tlieoIoKical course, and wlio, tlierefore. is not eligibln to a rail, and can- not be a eandiibite for any vacancy, yet who is closing a vacancy nRninst Probationtrs whose services are at tiie di.-jiosal of your Committee, none of whom, it nin.st be presumed, are among the candiil'itHs tbcy «ro " anxious to liear." In ftiiotlier imrafirajili in ono of the communications it is stated that " the Presbytery, not liaviiiK riported St. Paul's a,; a vacancy, decline to receive tlio supply already sent." Tlie Com- mittee may be allowfil to uxpross tluir Hurprise at tlie cahn frnulini'.Ks with which the Presbytery thu^ forward a statimert ..f their violation of one of the laws of tlie Hujneme Court, and act as if they were not under . thority to that Court. At the meeting of tlie General Assembly in 1H7K, in Hamilton, it was enacted among other things, as to supply of vacancies, " Presbyteries are instructed to |il:ice all tlu^r vacant congregations prepared to 'call, on the list of vacancies." And again, " I're.sbyteries are hereby instructed to regard Probationers as having a prior claim to be heard in viicnncies, and to secure such hearing for tlit'in." It cannot be supposed that any Pres- bytery or p.rson will endeavour to excuse or defend himself under the (expression " instructed," which is eiii|doyed, and not i-iijoiiird, for it «ill be admitted tlmt even the milder term conveys the moaning of obligation. Yet the I'resbytery of Moutreiil intentionally omit— or niav we not say refuse?— ti> rejioit .St. Paul's as a vacancy for supply. Were vour Committee wrong in supplying their lack of service, oven although it was designed, and placing St. Paul's, three months after they were informed it was to be declared a vacancy, and two months after it had actually been so declare(V on the list for supply •.■ Are Presbyteries at liberty to withhold the name of any one— ai..; if of any one, wliy not of every one--vacftncy in their bounds? la not this sciiiit courtesy to the Assembly under existing regulations ; disrespect to the Committee, not appointed by an inferior judicatory, but by the Supreme Court to ■;. delicate dutv, and endeavouring faith- fully to guard and carry out its regulations ; throwing a slight upon the'Prohati<.ners who honestly and nobly devote themselves to serve their Master according to her appointment, not choosing to tlieniselviB by-ways ; and must it not be fatal to the Scheme of Distribution? No eoniidaints have been received from Presbyteries regarding Probationers, and the only complaints Jiom the latter have been concerning aiipointments not given them in the Presbyteries of Quebec and Kingston. .'it the last meeting of your Venerable Court the Committee, who had tendered their resig- nation, were re(iiu.'8ted to carry on their work for this year under the existing rules ; and were, at the same tinii'. instructed to prejiaro a new scheme for the working of tliis department of the Oliuich's oiieiations. Your Committee have given the in.'itter their most earnest and careful attention. Their Convener has made personal iiKjuiiT, wliile on a visit to Scotland, as to the course adoiitdi by the I'lcc and I'nited Presbyterian Cliurches with reference to their vacancies and mode of supply. In view of all they have been able to collect, it is their deliberate and fully formed conviction that no better plai than the one now in force can be jiropo.-ed, if all parties were faithful— I'ifisbyterics and Prob»tioiiers--and it tin y are not faiihfnl to it, what one culd be suggested that would ensure tlii^ir lidelity in its. administration ?

The Senate is happy to ri'port that in tho work of the College he has fulfilled all reasonable expectations, ami fully justitied the action of the Assembly in hia case. The following abstract of the Class Reports is hero given : — Dr. Caven, as iu past Sessions, had under his care the Classes in Senior and Junior Exe- getics, and in Biblical Criticism. In the Senior Exogetical Class the First Term was devoted to tho study of the Epistle to tho Hebrews, and the Second Term to the examination of parts of the I'rophecies of Isaiah. Tliis Class was composed of the Second and Third Y'ears in Theology. The gentlemen of the Third Y'ear prepared each » Hebrew Critical Exercise, and those of the Second Year each a (ireek Critical lixercise, according to the rule of the Church. The .lunior Exegeticiil Class (lirst year) reed i ritically in the Gospel of Luke during the First Term, and in tho Book of Genesis during the Second. A series of Lectures on Hermeneutica was given in this Class. In Biblical Criticism nearly all the topics which belong to tho Introduction to that Study wore dealt with. Criticism is assigned to the lirst year. Dr. Gregg conducted tho classes in Apologetics and Church History. In the former class Lectures were given to the first year's students on Natural Theology and the Evidences, and Homilies were road by the ftudents. The ftudouts of tho second year Were examined from text books on the Literature of Apologetics, and on various anti-Theistio Theories, and Discourses by them were read and criticised. The class in Church History was attended by the first and second year's studi nts, to whom Lectures were delivured on the First Sevei. Centuries of tho Christian I>a. Lectures were given to the atudeuts of the third year on Uiblioal Church History, and Ex- amination was held on a text book on Old Testament Churcli History. Professor Maclareu taught two classes iu Systematic Theology, the first consisting of the students of the first and third years, and the second of tho students of the second year. The first class was occupied during the first term with Theology Proper and Ecclesiology, and during tho second term with Ecclesiology, embracing Theories of the Church, the Church Visible and Invisible, the Power of the Church, and the subject of Creeds and Confessions in relation to Church Power. In the second class Lectures were delivered on various topics in Anthropology and Soteriology. In connection with the Priestly Otlice of Christ the subject of the Atonement was carefully examined. Tiiis ciass underwent a written examination at tho ciust of t"no Session on ir'.virbairn en " The Revelation of Law in Scripture," The first class met five hours a week during the whole Session, and the second class tour hours a week.

A little was done during the past year in prosecuting the work of endowment but the amouat thus receverwas more than neutralised by the oheck given to the payment of "f'^'P'^J^'i/h*- tuus receiver «a»ui Council'i" decision in the Temporalities I'und had emboldened ftTdSt eT" f m ht Unltln^titute a suit against the'coUoge A, soon as the decision wis cablerapplicat on was made to the Dominion Parliament for remeciia legislation So warm rndunivorsal was the sympathy felt for the University, that our Bill passed through the House of ■Itirs and the ararwtthLt a single member raising his voice ugams it, Oppos, mn was .on7lnt"d to he Private Bills Committee. If public.authori^ation is an advantage to an '""titut on Oueen's is certainly in an exceptionally advantageous position. It is fort.I.ed by the triple brass fTovalcSr the Provincial Legislature, and the Dominion Parliament. Now that our posi- tion U secure Hh oarnostly rciuested that all subscriptions to the Endowment and Building i and tion IS sixure, it '^ oafSTJ^'J^i „„ „ „ „„„5ihl« On the faith of these giibscriptions, eugage- ■m^'l'liaTe'L'en'LdeVand'thrm^n^^^^^^^^ needed. It may be a true remark, but it is Evidently forgotten by some people, that subscriptions benefit no cau.e untU they are paid. I'i I SI ji i- s -^ cu. APPKNDIX. V. TIIK I'REPABATOnV IiEI-AnTSIKNT —MATBICUI.ATION. This Department, whirli existed for three years, has been abohelied, with the sauction of the Church, and to the great Hiitisfactioii of the I'roforfsdrs. Our Htandard for matrionlatiou in that of Toronto I'liiversitv, and it is irnpossihle to vary from it without imposing additional labour on High Snliool MiiHterB, wlio nro already sullieieutly worried by departmental changes. We would prefir a Matr'culatiou Examination that demanded a higlier percentage of marks, and a more thorough knowledge of (irammar and of tho rudiments of Latin and (ireck Composition than the present standard. Kvidently the lienetita of University and Theological training can be fully enjoyed only by those who have been well grounded in the rudiments of English Composition, ('laF?i(s and .Mathematics, and nowhere can this drill be given so well as in High Schools and Academies. VI. BKSIQNATIOS OF IIKV. DIl. WII.I,IAli.,ON. After forty years of loyal service, our " Veteran Professor" has resigned the active duties of his onice. He retires from the full work of a I'rofessor's chair crowned with tho most honourable laurels tlMt man can wear the este.^ni of tho Trustees of tiie Cburcii, tho devotion of the students, and alTrc'tionate reminiscences on the part of every graduate. He has long been our link with the past, and his resignation murks a new era in the history of the University. It '.v]ll be satisfactory to the Assembly to know that his ofheial conuootion with tho institution as its Vicc-I'rincipal is to continue, and that hi' is still to give hig services in connection with the Observatory, tliat may bo called his creation. VII. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The establishment by last (iencral Assembly of a Common Fund for the benelit of its Theo- logical Colleges in Ontario and Quebec has been nobly responded to by the (Church. 3S,010 have been forwarded to the Treasurer ; and when the books for tho year are made up, this will probably bo increased to .« 1,(100, which is the smallest sum with which our Theological Department can bo sustained, even in its present imperfectly cciuipjiod state. Our delioit would have been turned into n small balance to credit had we received the full amount before the close of our financial year. An appeal was made for special subscriptions to the Library Fund during the past year, and $1,000 have been sent in as the first result. Of this sura, .^jmi "came from Allan (iilrao'ur, Esq., Ottawa, a tried friend to whom (Queen's has been indebted again and again. To provide for an additiimal Cliair in .\rts and the long-desired third ('hair in Theology, and at the same time meet the loss of revenue consequent on tho lowered rato of interest from invest- ments, and the announced withholding of part of tho grant hitherto received from tho Temporalities Fund, we have appealed to the friends of the Unisersity for subscriptions to tho amount of $7, .500 a year for five years. By the time that the Assembly meets, it is hoped that a report may be given of the success of this now movement, which is" intended to make the otiuipmont of the institution reasonably complete.

The Board of Management of ManitoV)a College begs leave to make its report for the paHt year to the venerable the tieneral Assembly of the (Mmrch. As the new College building, reported last year as under contract, was not ready in September at the opening of the sess a, the Board hail to secure temporary acconimoilatiim elsewhere. This it was enabled to do by renting one of the city schools in a convenient locality. It was ex|)ecte(i tliat the new building wouhl be ready for occupation by the first of November ; but, though it was promised for the first of almost every month of the session, it was not reaily when the end of the sfssicm arrived. The want of the new building with its better acccmimmlatiim was a great disadvantage to the College, causing much inconvenience and additional ex,«nse to both the teaching staff ami the "tudents, and rendering it im|KiHsibl« to carry on the boarding department as heretofore. As a coihiequence, a considerable number of ap|)lications fcir acimission to the C.illege had to be declined. :.'i.tw{th=vt»r, iiiig th~~ dtwwhsc-k-, tVtr rrrAnli i>iii ciirsru hai rjccn perhaps the most 5aCC6~irui in th,^ iiisl/)ry of the College.

As in former years, the a;,'encies emiiloved have been Missionaries— ordained ami unordaiaed - Teachers and Colporteurs. COLPOUTAGK. The value of this a^'en(•v is every year lieeomim; more manifest, and the necessity of largely increasing the nunihei of lah.iun'rs in this dep.artment more urgently felt. This has especially forceil itself upon the attention of the Hoard iluring the pitst year ; ami with, a view to the extension and jnore etHcient prosecution of the work of colportage. the Kxecutive recently held a conference with Mr. .lames Court, who has hail a nwnt intimate connection with the work for upwards of forty years, and whose experience renders his ..pini .n.d u-real value. Notrtilli-,laiidiim all thai has been accoin- plished in the past, there is sull. espt-cially in the Province of (^ueli.-c, unlimited scope heyonil the sphere of either Missionary or TeaHier fiu- the self-denyiiiK lahours of a elass of men who .aiv? willing to go froin house to hou>e, carrying in their heart the h'lVe of Christ, and in their hand the Word .Tf Life, telling the storv of the Cros, to all who will listen, and scattering as they go those leaves which are for the healing of the nations. For this kind of w.ok men of spe.-ial .'ifts and thorough training are needed. The work is most ariliious and often most clisoiuragim,', e-peiially in tho,e ilistiicts where, for days and even weeks together, the Colp.nteur toils on without mcetim; a siuirle Protestant family, mingling with a com- niuuity who from the altar have been threatened with exconimuniiatiim and' social ostra»-ism if thev give him shelter. There is scarcely any ilass ..f Christian worker more deserving of the svnipathy, and with a stronger eUiim u|K.n the pr.iyers of (J.kIs people tli.in the faithful Colporteur.' With a view to the more t'.iorough training of young men entering upon the work, the Hoard have recentl.V adopted the principle of sending out < 'olporteurs two and two a young man along with one of con- Hiilerabie experience ami thus far the plan has been found to work well. In ad litiiui to visiting from house to house, distributing copies of ({(id's Word and religious literature, the Colporteur endeav(.urs, where practicable, to gather together the nien.tiers of two or throe tieighbourii^j families and an hour is spent in singing and prayer and a simple exjiosition of the plan of .s.dvation.

We are conscioUH more than we ever were before that (Joel has 8end a part of their time in house-work, we cannot but say that their progress in literary attaimuentshaH been very satisfactory indeed. " As fur as conduct is concerned, it is iileasing to record that it has been an giHKl as can lie desired. Our pupils have shown a desire to Rcoomplish well their tusks. It seems as though they understixxl better tnan before that they have duties to perform not only towards themselves, but also towarils their Creator and towards their fellow-men. These duties they seem to have striven to accomplish to the best of their ability. As a conse(pience, i>eace, harmony and brotheily love have reigned in the schools during the whole of the winter months. Not imly m their intercourse with us have our pupils been amiable, but also in their daily intercourse with one another. "Owing to sickness, we have haiml)er will become eificient ministers of the Gosjiel, while others will find their way into the lil)eral professions, where they will exert an influence for g(M)d. " 1/et our boys and girls go forth into the world carrying in their hearts a holy reverence for the God they have learned to love, habits of prayer, of .activity and of industry, such as they have been taught to cherish whilst under our roof, and we have no fear for their success in their future career."

APPENDIX. 11. I liave in connpotion with the .Sunday School a comparatively small Bible Class, composed alniOHt -excIiiHively of younf women. Its average attendiinee ha.s lieen fourteen members during the year ;^ seven of these have jirofessed faitli in Christ and jouied the Church in full communion. 12. The .Sunday .School is small, the average attendance being only thirty-one, with a roll of forty scholars, uniler two male and two female teachers. 13. The rlay school, under the sui>erintendence of Mr. Deville, appears to me to bt; well con- ducted, and the children have made marked pro^Tess in the ditferent liranches t.iUL'ht. I think the number attendinx is over thirty, but exact stivtistics on this [mint will be found in the Teachers' Report, as also toucbin>,' the proportion of Protestant and Koman Catholic scholars. !••• There has been a marked improvement in the contributions of the people during the year. Ihe monthly subscriptiim scheme introduceil last year has worked well, the only defect having been the want ipf collectors to go round and jog the memory of the defaulters.

The divisions and hostility that the Laval rpiestion gave rise to among Roman Cathohcsliere will naturally lead some of the more intelligent to look round for a solution of the ilimculty and to hnd out that the shcu'test and best w.ay is to cut the Uordian knot which holds tliem at Rome s mercy, luiil to accept the glorious liberty of the children of God. If we felt at liberty to mention names, we could show that this solution has already occurred to some of the best members of h rench social circles, and has been openly discussed among them. 17. Our work may be said to be all aggressive ; for whilst we try not to neglect the Hock con- ti(leloyment ; three more on account of the drunkenness and vicious habits of the head of the family, which we could not very well visit upon the lieads of the women and children The sound discipline and careful oversight of the Kirk Session has thoroughly purged the congregation of any low and vicious characters whos ' hypocrisy made it hard to detect and convict. The three cases of apostacy menti.)ned in another [lart of tliis report were tliose of people who made professicms of faitli in the fall of the year, with the evident purpose of obtaining help through the winter, but faili "; in this, thought it better to leave. Allusion has I)een maile to the Young Men's I/iterary Soc.ety. This organization, inai:gurated some years ago chiefly by the French Presbyterian students of the Montreal College, has held eighteen meetings through the winter, partly to debate some of the burning i^ueations of the times, partly to hear lectures by such able men as Prof. 1). Coussirat, Rev. Messrs. Latleur, Duclos and Cruchet, an have a right t > expect better things. It is also difficult to train converts to a right appreciation of the blessefl Sabbath rest, accustomed as they have been from infancy to look upon the afternoon of that day as a special time for amusement, games, picnics, etc. We must, however, rememl)er that many of these nave much to learn yet, and that they cannot be exjiected at once to fall in with the precise ways of those who, like most of us, have been trained from infancy in the retiuirements ot the (lospel. 23. This report is already so long that I will only add an interesting incident which happened last winter, and which may point a moral to the Christian thinker.

Snrely this fs substantial progress. Our ministers and peoi>le in all parts of the country have ill these tii,'ures the neceisary d.ita by which they can estimate the extjnt of our work. liut I inuat close this rather prolix report. Long as it is, however, the half has not been told, ard many more paf,'e« iniylit lie filled wi'h additional information. Some years a^o it was hard bu finirth of whom lielong to Roman Catholic families. Mr. Chiniciuy reports an accession of forfy mendiers to the Church, including; four priests who have abjured Romanism. Mr. Ohini(iuy spent two or three months last winter in visiiing New York City and the Xev/ England States, addressing large meetings of French Canadians. His cisit has given a great impetus to the work of French Canadian Evangelization in several of the manufacturing towns in Mass.achusetts. and he reports upwards ot two hundred persons as ha\ing publicly renounced the •errors of the Church ot llome ,t« the result of his labours there.

Though our Presbyterian Church has been greatly honoured of God, and stands in the forefront in this work of French Canadian Evangelization, yet the work is not altogether confined to it, but is participated in by other three Protestant denominations. In December last representatives of the several denominations met and resolved to hold a Union Public Meeting, in the interests of French Missions, during the week of the Anniversary Meetings in Montreal. The meeting wai held in January, and was one of the most successfid of the series, in point of numbers and interest. About 2,000 persons were present. The venerable Dr. Wilkes presided. The singing was con- ducted by a choir of two hundred French Canadian jiupils fi'om the Mission Schools, and addresses were delivered by four of the Missionaries engaged m the work. The following carefully prepared statistics of the work in Canada, in connection with the several Protestant Churches, were presented to the meeting. The first column gives the statistics of all the Churches, and the second those of our own Church :- All the Canadian Presbyterian Church Churches. iu Canada.

THK WORK IN CRANCB. As stated in last year's Report, one of the Missionaries of the Board, Rov. A. B. Cruchet, left Canada in May, 1881, for France, witli a view to aid the movement there. Mr. Cruch..t laboured in Paris and at other points for about four months, returning home in the end of .September. As Mr. Cruchet is a member of Assembly, and will have an opportunity of giving '. is impressions of the work in France it is unncessary to refer tf> this matter at greater length here. In the columns of the Record during the year feveral interesting articles on the Ueligious Movement in France have appeared from the pen of the Rev. Colbome Heine, of Chalmers Church, Montreal, who personally laboured for some months in connection with Mr. McAll, and is fully conversant with the work. :irieen sufficient to meet tlio current expenditure of the year, leaving a balance on hand, and to reduce by a considerable sum the liabilities of the lioard for building purposes, there still remains a debt on the Building Fund of i$13,:i2"), the interest on which interferes with the expansion of the work so urgently demanded. Owing to the return of the Kev. C. A. Tanner from Britain in July last, the receipts from this source are less than in former years, though the Board are under great obligations to Mrs. Mao- nider, of Kdinburgh, for her warm interest and active efforts in securing contributions to the extent of .?299..58, and to the Pre.sbyterian Church il Irelp"'!, and esvecially the Convener of its Mission Committee— Kev.

The attention of the Prosbyteriefi of this Synod was last year directed to the discouraRing fact that the KivinK of the schools to the schemes of tho Church, as far as reported, averaged only three cents per scholar. A ntill darker view in presented this year. A Kreat many schools expend no money for their own efllciency, and contribute nothiuR for other work. One Preshytery reports thirty schools, but only ^n^l\il of thoBO contribute to misjion- ary objicts; another with liftynine, reports only ten as trivin).; anything, and nine of the fore- goiuK fifty-nine send no report on any subject ; another with eighteen reports only tw> aa Riving to the work of tho Churcli. These sad facts presented, indicate lidoiity on the part of the Synod's Sabbath School Coniniittoe ; liut the Presbyteries referred to ou^ht to feel responsi- bility in this matter, as the true Bishops of such char^e.s, ami call attention to their duty. There is culpable indifference somewhere, and little is being done for tho future well-being of such charges, and the generation to come. TUE HVNOn op MONTRE-tL AND OTTAWA.

Montreal stands next in the order of excellence, all tho «ettled charKca reporting but two. (Quebec reports only eiRht schools out of thirty-three. Besides giving full statistics, tho report of tbis Synod sliows that there are about two hundred and seventy-one schools within tho bounds of the Synod, and also that tho following figures represent but two-thirds of tho whole. Bused on tho number reported, there is given to Missions on iiu average twenty-two cents per pupil, and for school expense thirty-nine cents per pupil. Pastoral care, the superintendents' and teachers' personal influence in each sohool and class, mio'ht in one year enlarge this hopeful record by one-third more. 1883. 1881.

APPENDIX. The AspemWy resolved as follows :—" ExpresB satisfaction with the provision made for suppljing liteintiiro for SnbbHth Hchool libruiies, as reported, and commend it to the favourable couHideratiou of nil Subbath hcIiooIh." While the orders from this fntalogue, considering the very favourable terms agreed to by the publiHlurs, and the great need of good Sabbath school literature, are not all that might have been txiiicted, yet the Church ban availed herself of this arrangement to the amount of Nineteen Hundred Dollars worth of bocjks ; and your (.'ommittee are saticfied that icliiit the catalogue and the terms are more fully understood, the demand will be much greater. Fifty new and additional voU ..es have been examined by the Committee since last Asstnibly. and the catalogue of the same has t-ei forwarded to every minister in charge, and is herewith laid before the Assembly for approval. Fifty volumes are in proce.>, ONT. The following has been submitted to the Sabbath School Committee of the General Assembly of the rrc!-b\terian Church in Canada, with a view to providing a system for the butter organiza- tion, goveninient, and extension of the Sabbath i-chool work throughout this extensive Dominion. The i'resbytf rinn Church in the United StateH has made large provision for the proper equipment of the Sabbath school, and so has the Methodist Church in Canada, and has also laid down a code of rules and constitution to bring all into methodical line. Many begin to think it quite time that our Church took a step beyond the theoretical committee work, although for the past two years much practical hard work has been done by the conveners and a few members of tOe Committee, in providing courses of study and improving our library htcrature ; but for want of organization few schools availed themselves of the admirable course of studies provided. It is, however, Imped that more have taken advontage of the selected books, catalogues of which may bo had on appli- cation to Messrs. Campbell A Son, Toronto. We commend the document to the careful con- sideration of all interested in our Sabbath school work : — THE SABBAXa ScaOOL, 1. Sabbath school includes the session, members and adherents of the congregation, togethci ..iih their children, and all others who may be enrolled from time to time ; '2. And is understood to be the Church at work, by the congregation assembled on the Lord's Day to study, tt uch, and learn the Word of God, for the purpose of leading souls to Christ, and of building up believers in the grace and knowledge of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and to help each other to know more of the great salvation so freely offered in the Gospel. 3. The minister of every congregation, or pastor in charge of every mission station, shall at once organize a Sabbath school or schools in each congregation or station, such schools to bo kept open every Sabbath during the year. 4. In organizing a new school, the minister in charge shall choose and appoint, with the con- currence of the Session, a suitable person to superintend the same ; and the person so chosen and appointed shall, with the concurrence of the minister in charge, choose and appoint the necessary oflicers and teachers, and proceed to organize the school sn the basis of the following Constitution; and on these appointments being ratitied by the Session, a brief document, in appropriate terms, addressed to the ollicer or teacher, shall be signed by the moderator and clerk of Session, and be delivered to the party named : - CONSTITUTION.

REPORT OF COM^NIITTEt: ON THE HYMNAL. The Oommittee on the Hvmn.il beu' to re))ort as follcuvs. viz.: Th.it diirintr the past veir the publishers, as antbnrizecl bv tl)e Committee, have issued a Sabbath school editiim of the Hymnal, without Psalms. ;it the price of ci^'ht cents per copy. That there has also been issued durint; the year an eilition of the Hymnal, with music, at ninetv cents per copy, and the Committee are gratified to learn that the selection of tunes has met with gener.al iicoeptance. Seven thousand five Imndred copies of this book have already been sold. That the Committee contemijlate issuinir another edition of the Hyumal of a tvpe and size intermediate between the SablLith schoid and the lartjer-si/ed eopv. at the price of twenty cents per copy : and also a small-sized edition of the Hymnal, with tunes, with the " ,\ir " alone, for the use of Sabbath schools, at as low a rate as |)racticable. That the whole number of copies of all the editions .•vlreasciiilily their Keport V'cuir Coiniiiittee have the hoi for the past yeai . .So soon as eonvinient after last ni.etin^' of tliis \'eiienilile (Vmrt. vour Conmiittee sent down to Sessions a prepared list pec-tive I'resliy- teries, aii.l a summary of these l're>hyterial lieports was submitted to Synods, and ik.w tlie direct duty ot your ( ou,mittee is to present in a condensed f. rm the suhieet-matter of the Koports to Synods, lliiis unilyinK-hringinK into a focus- the infoimation g.-itliered from the whole field occupied l>y the laluiurers who are under the jurisdiction and authoritative oversight of this X'enerable As- semlily. ) our Committee would here express their sense of the great care taken by m.any ministers and ^esslons to tmi.ish full ami accurate information on the topics submitted, and also of the careful and e.arne.-t manner in uliich the l;ep.,rts were discussed at I'resbyterial fonfeieiices held for the purpose, and, more esi.ecially, ,if the laiKc place and favourable circumstances alf..rt in I'resbyterial lieports and flonferences and then ill i^ynodical Keports, your Committee could not have jiossessKil the full and valuable inform.ition aiKl tlie c.aetully prepare.l Keports which were forwarded in due time, and from the materials of wliicii tins heiioit IS now made up. It is at the same ti.ue, matter of .sincere regret that, as vet, no Keport has been received from tlie 1 resliytery ot .Manitoba, in which wide li.ld so much of the inteiest of the I 'hureh generally is at present centred ; and also that a few other I'lesbyterics, and not a few of the Sessions of 'our *>luircn, have overlooked or neglected their .luty in this iiiip,,rtaiit matter. All the Synodioal Reports express regret on this point. In one I'resbvt.rv lielniming to the Svnod of the Maritime 1 loviiices, out of twenty -seven charges only three r.tui n- were made, and in 'another Presbytery of twenty-nine charges only seveTi returns were forthcoming; and in this Keiiort it is .siigge.sted that bessions be c,mstantly reminded of their duty by [lostal card or circular. The Keport fr.im the oynoil ot .Montreal and Ottawa is more encouraging in this respect, for, while regretting that only a portion ot the l.».{ congregations and mission stations had sent in returns to their respective Pre.sbv- teries. It does not appear that any Presbytnry has been negligent ; and in s.uiie other Presbyteries, ast.lengarry and JSrockviUe, every congregation or Session has sent in n return, except two in the latter, one ot which is a vacancy, and in the other the pastor is at present absent from his charge, nil ,,"'fl '" V''""t !-''" •'^■•'■■'■■.''"■' 'i'"-"''-' ;""'■ ivingsion, it is gratifying to m.te a slight advance upon tlie numbeidf last years returns, and that Keports were received from all the Presbyteries within the bound.s except one, in which, although no formal Keport was prepared, yet a conference was lield on the State of I.eligion, as also in most of the other Presbyteries, with much interest and proht to those .attending upon them. It is, however, t.) be regretted that only 120 returna were niaue troni the -l.> congregatnuis ami m.ssion stations within the bounds of this Synod; and, .is remarked in the Jveport, "nearly one-half the congregations contriluitlng nn information to the r *T° iT' ," "" f. condition of religion or morals within their bounds, thereby lulding greatly to tlie ilithculty of forming a proj.er estimate of the religious status of the field and the measure's needed for its improvement.

Although, as one Uepcut remarks, there is "no outstanding evidence of a very vigorous Church life, or of inore tlian \isual blessing enjoye.l ;" and however we may account f'lr the failure of returns in so many instances whether be(-ause of numerous vacancies, or because they have nothing Hpecially t" put ou record, or neglect and inditference— it is yet gratifying and encouraging to believe and feel that the information gathticl from over the whole tielil warrants the eonchisicju that the Ijord's causa is pro-ressmg in our land, and tliat the .\l:iater is not leaving us without evidence of His blessing on our uiiworthy lal)ours, and tokens of His i)resonce in the midst of much unfaithfulness and weakness. This fa\ouralile conclusion will be more apparent by the presentation of the particulars of the several Ueporta sunnnarized under the respective cpu'ries submitted, as I'oUows : (/WKHV I. -Whiit rriflfari.i nf spiritual ijrtiwth and fii-'irticii' jtirti/ li'irr iiuh nh^n-nnl during thr />(.<( i/tar III attfiiilaiice mi thr nvnn/i of iiriirr : in familii rli'iimi ; in Hhcnilitii in thr xrhrmrs nf thr Chiinh : in thf i/iiiinn iivtkin'j an uprn prnfesiiim of faith in Chri.4; or in anii nthir wtit thai wm think wm-thii of iMnlKin; and have any bat the ordinarii meant of grace hare hern eniploiinl bii'mtu to promote the xame '; . . . . j In giving information relating to the several particul.irs here embraced, th^re is a marked (uie. noss in all the Synodical Keports.

The people in general are church-going, though, as one Report remarks, " there is no extraonlinarv i'agern"ss for the 'ni-ans of grace;" and complaint is sometimes raade that members of the f'hurcli in many instances satisfy themselves with attendance upon (Uie .service only on the Sabbath day. In the Report of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa it is stated that "most of the Sessions report a marked improvement in this particular. One deserves special mention. The writer savs : • riie gr.an.lest spectacle beheld by me, durin'.' a pastorate of well-nigh seventeen years, w.is that of Miolding old and young coming out for fourteen nights in succession, with the thermometer sevenil I egrees below zero, to attend our evening meetings for prayer; and vet the people all reside at a distance of from three to .seven miles ;' and another adds, ' There is every reason to believe that our j*nple prize highly the ordinances of (Jod's house, and that tliev find there wh;it gives them comfort m sorrow, guidance in perplexity, and strength for the toils .-lud temptations of liff, .A. crucitied Saviour lifted up iu the faithful preaching of the Wor R.-j) irt of the Synol of loionto and Km-ston it is observable that some of the returns are viov disc eiragiug, whilst others are of Uie most chM.-ring d-iscription. The siiiistance of several returns is, '■ y,, appreciable pro- gress, and commonly : " It is extremely difficult to s,)eak deHnitelv of religi.m in the family, but we uelieve th.at there has been little change in this resptict since the preeodiri.' vear." The Report "oes mi to remark : ' I pon such a matter there surely should be more definite information ou the part of those entrusted with the oversight of the Hock. It we,-e worth while instituting a careful impiiry. le result as startling as in the case of one Report, whi(!h says, 'There are six Sessions which give no answer to this (iue9ti(ra, and the others are very vague and indefinite ' One says hat after careful im-..sHV,.t|..p. tV.ey Co;n^ t.-. the v.'ry ,I!.,c,„uaglug result that only .mr-ntlh (,f thfJ annlies observe family worshij).'

' " Wruilil that this ('heeriiig asiiect were more Kciieral yeii, universal —over the Cliurchl lint, as anotlier Iteport remarks, "the greater numlier of returns imlicate that this fimilamental ihity is not so conspicuously attended to aH that the Sissions are easily cogni/.ant of it. On the contrary, if it is generally observed, it is with s\ich Jirivacy tliat th? fact of it remains, in many instances, a matter of c(msidnral)le iluliicty." Home of the reasons for this (lefective state of things in the home religicjus life will aiipear when we come to consider the Jteports on the subject of llindrances to Cliristian Life. .Many of these hindrancen operate powerfully in the directiim indicated. (r) LIIIKKALITY. In the matter of liberality to tlie schemes f the Syuoil of Toronto and Kin^'ston says: "Tlie contributions to these will this year pro- i)ably be found to be decidedly in advance, tliou;^'h it is remarked liy one Presbytery that the same does not seem to be the case with regard to the sup|iort of ordinances in the congregations, as the promise usually found in the call to the minister, 'in ciuitriliute to his suitable maintenance as God may prosper us,' is in many cases too soon and too easily forgotten. One of the Sessions in the same Presbytery explains the lack of Christian liberality thus: ' We pray to be advanced in the Cliristiiui graces gentleness, peace, long-sutlering, and such like but in the grace of lilierality we know of none who liray for growth, and this may account for the lack of it everywhere.' The probable truth is that, with all the progress made in many ipiarters, much greater attainmentH are still witiiin our reach, and might easily lie realized in the near future if, as another Report says, 'two things could be accomplished, viz., the inchnling of all among the givers, and the introduction and more general establishment ot habits of systematic beneHceiice among our people.'" "This matter," adds an- other Report, "we deem worthy of special attention, and that the notice and consideraticm of the General Assembly shi>nld be called to the subject. .\n authoritative deliverance, or, better still, a Standing ( 'ommitlee on the subject, charged with the cliity of propagating its principles and jfro- nioting Its practice, might ivccomplisii much." 'I'he Report of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, epeaking of the encouraging returns received, remarks that "If siiiritual |)rogress could be meas- ured by this tost alone, we could truly say that very much had been acc(unplished. We trust that the greater part of this increase of liberality is indeed due to an increased sen.se of what is every Christian's duty and privilege. It is cheering to hear of some C(mgregations giving more to one Hclieme alone now tlian they u.sed to give to the whole of them together— paying up old church debts without diminishing their general contributions, , reasing their pastor's stii>end and clear- ing up old arrears, taking up a collection as a New V'er.r's olfering to the amount of .'8781, as was the case in one congregation. It is not, however, thouglit that w have done all we could or should oil this point. As there are shadows in every picture, thus we may tind many of our Church mem- bers, and some of our congregations, who have yet much to learn as to the privilege and blessedness of giving to the Lord." ((Z) YOfS'd I'KOF[.E. In reference to the young making an open profession of faith in Christ, the Reports are far from encouraging. That of the Synod of the M.-iritinie Provinces says: "There is all but universal mourning over the fact that so very few of our young people are now found making a public jiro- fessi(m of faith in t)hrist. When it is made, it is chietly by the young women of the Church." It is to l>e feared that there is a widespread and increasing indifference among young men. One return made to this .Synod, however, gives a cheering a<;count of a revival, in which a goodly number of yonng persons are interested -some professing to be hopefully converted. "The work was begun in an uuu.sually dark corner of the congregation, where a .Sabbath school and prayer meeting were maintained by the elders and members from a distance. The interest ccunmenceil during the week of prayer. The meetings are still upheld, and in all the prayer meetings there appears to be an expectancy of the outpouring tif Irod's S|iirit." In the Report of the Synod of Hamilton and Lon- don, we are informed that the returns bear diversified testimiuiy, rendering it almost impossible to state the true conditiim of things on this point. It is evident, however, that nothing is occurring in this portion of the Church, omitting a few very encouraging instances, to warrant any unusual con- gratulation. In the Reimrt of the Synod of >iontre.al and Ottawa >t is stated that the Presbyterial Reports vary greatly, in one Presbytery the returns of "parently more young women than young men who thus cimfesa Christ. Xo reiv-son is assigned for this fact. It seems to us that the indifference and carelessness of our young jieople maybe connected with the unsatisfactory condition of family religion in many jirofessors' liomes." The Report of t.'ie Synod of Toronto and Kingston states that "tlie returns made on this subject seem to indicate that the work is ;ulvancing slowly but steadily in a goodly number of our congregations, while in others great dis- couragement and perplexity is lieing felt at the b.ackwardness of our youth, sometimes from frivolity and inditference, at others apparently from timidity and diltidence. In all the Reports we tind liut once or twice mention made of anything like a movement of interest among the young." In reference to whether any but the ordinary means of grace have been employed, the reports are various. In the Maritime Provinces, 3]ioci»l services at commimion seasons, and after the AI'PEXDIX. cxlv.

The Conipaiiy resolved to run a regular Sabbath train from Toronto to ftt.l nomas, connecting there with the through Sabbath express trains on the f^anada Southern Ihis was the inauguratmg of a new departure in railway Sabbath profanation. The other roads in Uiitario profess to run no local passenger trains on Sabbath ; but the Credit Valley, breaking through the restraints observed by the others, set the very bad example of introducing a system of regular local pas.songer trams on the Lord's Day. Very strong feeling was aroused in Tonmto and all along , I , -J''-™- "•'- "'"" = ";v- . "^ > sn.Mig iKtuiig was arimseii in loronio ami all along le line to St. fhomas. The Toronto .Ministerial Association took action, and appointed a deputation > wait on the authorities of the road and remonstrate with them. Some of the Toronto daily apers iliil excellent service in the cause of the Sabbath by earnest and vigorous testimony against the line to St. Thomas t. I'll . __ the palicy adopted, and pointed out the effect which such a course, if persevered in. must uftim'ately have on the other railroads of the Province. A remonstrance in the name of the (ieneral A8.sembly was also addressed to the Hoard of Directors, and was respectfully acknowledged by their secretary. 1 he ettorts of the friends of the Sabbath were crowned with success. In the course of some six weeks the running of the Sabbath train was abolished, by order of the Hoard -a result which may be reckoned a very important an.l substantial gain in the interests of Sabbath Observance in the part "t the 1 rovince more specially concerned, and in the Dominion in general. It IS worthy of notice, that the question whether barbera and barber shops come under the oiieration of the I.ord's Day Act in Ontario, has recently been tested in the cinirts, and decision given 111 the athrmative by the Divisional Court of Common Meas. - . ."^uur (-'D'nmittee have nle.isure in reiiortir,,- .^l....^ f),.it .^-,.'cr the au ipiccJ t.f the Ii.luiau,uoiial .^aimatn .\ssi.ciation, whose agent, llev.

The other subjects discussed had reference exclusively to Sabbath Observance in the United Mates, and were such as the following— "Sabbath Traffic on Railroads, and How to Deal with it-' • 1 he ( arriage of the Mails on the .Sabb.ath ;" " The Attitude of .lur Foreign Population towards the .Xibbath, and what sliould be done to induce them to accept ^t as a blessing, and to regard it as an iiKlispensable factor in our free institutions ;"' "What Means should be Kmployed to secure Proper .Vction by the Municipal, State, and National Governments, regarding the Right Observance of the halibath; /The Sunday Press an Intruder;" "The Position and Duty of the Church, and her Ivespousibility and Power in the whole matter of the Sabbath." In the paper on this last topic the question was raised—" What position should the Church assume towards those of her members who claim that they are obliged to labor on the Sabb.ath ?" Jt w.is urged that the L'liurcii should deal tenderly and faitiifuily with such persons, impress on them the duty of resigning situations in which they are required to break the law of (iod, aid them in huding new situations, and give them, if need be, pecuniary help in the meantime j but if such 8 II' t I ! i .!

In lenx lliari iinedialf of the returns received is it stated tint these resiiliitions were read from the pulpit. In some cases tliev were commented upon, and in other cases the readiiik' of them was lu-companleil hv a sermon on the subject. Some ministeri have expreHsed their intention of reading tlieni to their people as soon as possible. It should be borne ill mitid that the circular of your Committee wa» issued at n time when ministers and Sessinns Irive an unusmil amount of ecclesiastical business to attin I to, ho that thin niay account fm- the lack of .ittentioii to this matter.

In answer to the sicond ipiestion, which refers to the active prosecution of Temperance work, a few .Sessions say that tliey see no necessity for takin;,' s|MMial action on this (|Ui'stion, as there i» little or no intem|wrance anion,' their iieople. Would that more of our .Sessions could with truth make a siiidlar statement I In nnwt of our conKro«ations there is a felt nee.l of activity. The elbirts of our ottice-bearers and people assume various forms, according to the clrciimstanceii iif the case. Several of our eoim're^jatioiH report Hou^i^hin^; Temperance .Vs.soclations, and althoujfh no detailed statement is ,'iven rei,'ardim,' their oixauization, still the results are represented an encounik'ini,'. Take a speciiueii from the I'lesliytery of l'eterboroui;h ; -" I'or several years we have lia I a Temperance .Vssmiation in connection with our conKriKation, in which a majority of the Bilults and nearly all the Sabbath school children are enrolled. Results have been most satisfactory. I'lriodical social reunions are held in connection therewith, and the pledKB audibly recited by all." Ill the I'resbytery of Hamilton one assisiation has a membership of over two liundred, and two of iiwr one hiindre(f. In many coni,'rej,'atiiins where there is no formal organization there is a pledge His'ned by the minister, elders, and as nianv of the people as are williuK'. There aiipears to tie IncreasInK' attention paid to the inculcation of sound Temperance principles in our Sabdath hcIiooU. In many places suitable Temi»erancu literature in circulated, and the younj; {leople pledged to total alistinence. The circulation of Temperance literature is an agency the iniiiortance of which can Hcarccly be overestimated. One of the first thini,'s in this, as in every moral and religious movement, is to secure intelligent Conviction ; if this is not secured, pledges and associations amount t) The Collection and diffusion of information as to the evils of Intemperance ; (c) The aidiiiL' and encouraging of the establishment of Colfeediouses ; ((/) The securing of the due observance of the Linuor Laws. The Society proiioseN to issue a series of tracts setting forth the views of eminent scientific men as to the use of alcoholic beverages, and dealing with various aspects of the (luestion of Temperance." The first of the series, " The Action of .Alcohol upon Health," by l)r. Clark, has just been published. It is hoped that Churches and .Vssociatioiis will interest themselves in the circulation of these tracts .% Various agencies are recognized as being useful and helpful in the prosecution of Tem[)erance ^^ork. such as family tr.^ining, private dealing, sermons and lectures on tne subject, the circulation of suitable literature, united and vigorous effort on the part of associations bir the piirixise. It Heeinit, with scarcely an exceiition, to be the o)iinion of our Sessions that C(>iigregati(mal associations are to be [ireferred to secular societies, or societies independent of Church contnd. Several reasons are assigned for this (ireference, among which the following may be noted : (a) The ( 'liurcli is a divinely constituted society, and should not leave its work to be done by any s.^ulnr or self-coustitiiteil ussneiMtiiiTi^ edTitrnlK.i!^ f.i ai.tne extent, if not targidv, bv persons who, to say the least, make no profession of religion. ('/) A ((Uigregational society may be expected to have greater permanence ; it partakes of the permanence of the Church itself. Other associations are ditficult to maintain in a state of ethciency. ((•) Congregational associations are more likely to unite the energies of the active membera of the Church. Many of our people object to joining .secular societies. ((/) Another advantage is, that the work would then be done in a more orderly way under the eui)ervision of the otHcedwarerh of the Church. It is felt that the Church has .at her command all the agencies neees.sary for the prosecution of this and every department of Christian work. Hence no new organiz.ation is reipiired. All that is desired is that the Church should n^e the gifts with which .she has been endowed by her Divine Masterfor theHiippressionand prevention of intemperance; or, ill other words, that the Cliurch should, by the use of every legitimate means, bring the principles of the (losjiel to bear on this evil. \Vhat f'irm a Cimgregational Temiierance Associatiim should assume is a point on which little or no light h.is been thrown by the returns from ■Scssi(ms and Presbyteries. Which form of organization wouhl he fitted mo.st fully to enlist the sympathios and evoke the energies of the members and adherents of the Church, and W(mld, at the same time, be most congenial tii its constitution ? This is a point which does liot appear to iiave been vtjry exLeubively studied. \uui Committee would (!ommeuu it to the attention of the courts uf the Church. el. API'KNDIX. 4.

In addition, however, there is a sum of over two hundred dollars of interest accnunl on shares of X.S. bui'ding, not credited in the above, but in reality added to the princiiwjl. Even with this it must be admitted that this does not show as favourable results ivs the reports for some years past. The causes of this may be noted. These are, first, the increase in the number of annuitants, and at the same time tlie recent increase in the amounts jiaid ; secondly, the reduction on the rates payable ; and thirdly, the lowering of the rate of interest on investments. To these must be added the decrease in the amount receiveil from members' dues, partly from the reduction of rates, but partly also, it must be said, from members ne^rlecting to pay their rates, and from so few joininjj the fund, owing, we believe, in at le.ist some measure, from the unsettled state of the arran};enient as to the future management of the Fund. The Trustees, however, do not see' any reason for anxiety or alarm regarding the state of the Fund. The Fund had for years been exceptionally successful, and we have always contemplated that the time would come when therate of increa.se of tlie Fund would diminish. Still, they feel the importance of an increase of membership, and they tru.-t tl.atthe mea- sures now being adopted for tlie amalgamation of the two funds in the Lower Provinces, and the future management of the united Fund, may accomplish this result. Uuring the past year one Widow upon the Fund, Mrs. DoiiaM Morrison, lias clied, and another, Mrs. James Watson, has come upon it, leaving the whole number upon the Fiinil ten, the same as hvst year. Uut as Mrs. Morrison's orphan family are still upon it, there are in etfect eleven annuitants upon the Fund. In accordance with the resolution of the Assembly of last year, the Committee have, in con- junction witli the Uommittee of thij Fund of the late Synod of the Maritime Provinces, hiid under their ciuisideration measures fir the .amalgamation of the two Funds ; but uixin this a sepaiivte Report will be presented to the (ieneral Assembly.

The amount paid to annuitants is 81n0 lims than the amount reported last year. Deducting, however, the amount of the l/arkpaynwnt.i of the two years, which was j.iutj last yjar as against J125 this year, there is an increase of 8105 in the amount of the payments properly belonging to (his year, aa compared with those properly belonging to the previous year. :ijli "1 ii >^^ clviii. APPENDIX. The income and oxpenditare for the year, aa given in the General Agent's Finance Keport, are: — I. INCOMK. Contril)utixecutors of the late Mr. .loHe)ih Mackay, of Montreal. The amount, therefore, of the income of the last two years falling to bo invested is 83,100. The Agent's iieport shows the investment of 81,900, and the investment of the other 81,200 will appear in his report of next year. The state of the Fund at the close of the financial year was ; — Invested in Debentures and Mortgages §0400 00 Balance (including 81,200 waiting investment) l.''/20 03 87720 03 Deducting the bequest above referred to. the income is SB, 124. 91, and shows an increase of 8119.30 in congregational contributions, 8'-0.5S in ministers' rates, and S2(» in interest of capital. The expenditure, exclusive of the investment of 81.9' 0, being 85,92:!. 19, the excess of income available for current expenditure is 8201.42. Deducting from this S'<1.:19, the difference between 81.100 nnd last year's balance, there remains 8120.03 available for the current expendi- ture of the year ?iow running. The whole income of the year, as compared with the previous year, shows an increase of 81,(^102.51. The income has cot been i nch as to warrant the Committee to give a larger nwximuin annuity than was given last year— .?220. It is hoped, however, that tiiere may be no further reduction, and that at no distant date there may be a return to the former maximum of $250, and even an advance upon it. That this hope is not without some good ground is, the Committee believe, apparent from a review of the results of the Assembly's action four years ago, whicli may be said to !ia\<' constituted a new era in the administration of the Fund. In 1B75, tho maximum annuity was advanced from 820O to 82.'')0 The experience of the three years following this increase seemed to show that it was premature, for, as a matter of fact, the expenditure of these three years exceeded the income by about 84,000, the amount being taken from the capital and reducing it by more than one-half. In 1878 the Assembly, on the sngp' -tiou of the Committee, ordered that tin re should be no more encroaclimtnt on ciipital, and that bequests and donations other than congregational should go to its increase, thus confining the income available for current expenditure to congregational contributions, ministers' rates, and interest from capital. It could not, of eonrsc, be expected that, with such an arrest laid on the Committee's power of expenditure, and with the yearly increase of the number of beneficiaries, the advance from 8200 to 8250 could be maintained without a greatly increased liberality on the part of congregations. Such liberality was urged by the Assembly of 1678, and the call has been so largely responded to that, notwithstanding yearly additions to the number of beneficiaries (the number this year being twenty-nine as against twenty in the year preceding the Asssembly of 1878) the maximum annuities for tlie pnst four years have respectively been 8225, 8250, 8220 and 8220 — an average of 8228.75. During the same period the sum of 84,100 has been added to the capital. It cannot but be regarded as something to be rejoiced in that, while the action of the Assembly has resulted not only in saving the capital from extinction, but in adding to it at the rate (pf over ?1 ,000 a year, there has been — owing to the increased liberality of congregations, from 81,900 in 1878 to nearly $4,500 this year — so little reduction made on the larger annuities. Still it is a matter of regret that a reduction averaging about 820 a year, comparatively smail as it is, has been necessary, esi)ecially when it is considered that it would not have been necessary had the congregations of the Church more generally responded to the call of the Assembly. For, while many of the con- gregations have done ail that could have been expected and some even more, there is still, as appears from the statistics of last year, a considerable number of congregations — some of them large and wealthy — that are doing little or nothing for the Fond. APPENDIX. clix. It is earnoatly hoped that no further roduotioQ may bo necessary ; bnt, as it is probable that Heveral names will be put by this Asombly on the list of annuitants, it does nut appear how further reiluctiou can be prevented uuhsa the oongreKations refurrod to be led to do as othors are doing. The Committee, therefore, would ask the Assembly to press on congregations the claimi of tlie Fund, and oiipecially to enjoin Presbyteries to use all proper means to ensure that the call shall be attended to by all the congregations within their bounds. Ponding the action of the rhurrh on the proposed regulations anont the ministerial rate, the Committee beUeve they are not called o'n to refer to it, beyond reporting that, while about 350 ministers have paid rate, many of these are more or leas iu arrears.

Owing to tho fact that tho members of your Committee are widely Beparatod, there la no opportunity for meeting, and their communication must be by letter. Towards tho end of last year a draft copy of ijuestions for congregations was sent hy tho Convener to every member, and his opinion asked regarding them, with any alteratii>ns or additions he might suggest. After replies wore received, tho form was tinally prepare 1. and, on tho 17th December, copies were despatched to every Pro-sbytery in sjUiruueut numbiu- for every congregation and mission station in his bounds, BO far as could be ascertained from tho KoUs of Presbyteries ; followed, a wook later, by a circular which was as follows : — "GuELPn, 2Uh Docomber, 1881. "Rev. Dbaii Sir, — " On the 17th instant I forwarded to your address, as Clerk of Presbytery, blank forms for the Statistical and Financial Itoports of the C jugn^gations and Mission Stations in your bounds for the year 1881-H2. Will yon be so good as to send a copy to each congregation, whether vacant or settled, and station, and iiso your best eiforts to jiroQure returns from every one, so that the Comniittt'o on Statistics maybe able to present as full a report as possible to tho General Assembly at its next meeting? " In former years reports from mnny congregations havo boon unsatisfactory, in that the entry under the Nos. in which tot.vls were collected iu the Financial Statement, did not corres- pond with the items of which they were composed. Instructions have been sent every year on the printed slip, stating what N'os. were to be added, so as to give another number which was specified. For cxamiilo:— It is state 1 in the forms for tho present year that No. r> should include 2, 3, and 4, iind 80 of No. 13 and No. I'.K Bat thee instructions have been overlooked or neglected in very many oases, so that discrepancies present themselves which the Committee could not correct, anil t'uis what might ap|>ear to bo errors in their a I litions were the errors of reporting Treasurers of congregations. Similar inslruotioas are given on the sheets prepared for Presbytery Clerks, but they can deal only with tho ligures sent to them, as the Committee can deal only with tho« whioh they receive. Would you be so good, however, as to give the matter your careful attention, so that it inay ht- remedied or avoided ihi.-. year ? Whan mistakes occur, von may have time, after receiving the report, to correspond with the Treasurer of the congregation, point them out, and have them corrected. APPENDIX. clxi.

If aiiv oil iniyterios they can speak with nothing but praiHe. All the entries were made, and the addition.s were without error. With others it was quite different. Wo need not ppeoify these in this part of our report, as they can be detected by any one who turns to the following pages. It is greatly to bo regretted that there should bo this cause of conplaint year after year. To have their just value, the Statistical and Financial Iteturns should be full. There is no impossibility in the way of procuring these. What has been done by some could bo done by all. If the census of a king- dom, or of our own Dominion, embracing ho many details, can bo taken, is it not within tho ability of this Church to procure from every congregation and mission station in her pale infor- mation ujion all the points wliich are submitted ? The iiuostions are not many. They are expressed clearly. Precise instructions as to answering them are given. And yet, judging from tho replies received, these iustructiona have not been read — at least they have not boon followed— by some of the congregations and Presbyteries. STATISTICS. T.iking first in order the .Statistics, it is fiiund that there aro 777 pastoral charges in the Churcli, 11 of these being in tho Presbytery of Manitoba, which shows an increase of 10 upon those of last year. Tho number of vacancies as reported is lit, of which ;):> are in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, 10 of these being in the Presbytflry of St. .lohu, and 5 in that of Halifax ; 13 in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, 1 of these being in the Presbytery of Quebec, and 1 in that of Glengarry ; ;i.5 in tho Synod of Toronto and Kingston, (i of these being in the Presbytery of I eterborough, and 1) in tho Presbytery of Toronto ; 21 in the Synod of Hamilton and liOudon, of these being in tho Presbytery of Hamilton ; 1 other Presl)yteries having :i i:ich, and .H having i eacli, and it in the Presbytery of Manitoba. The only Presbyteries without vacancies wore Miramiehi, Newfoundland, and Bruce. Clerks of Presbyteries have not in all instances acted upon tho instructions of last Assembly to send in all names on thiMr Rolls, whether Professors or Itetired Ministers residing in their bounds, so that your Committee cannot Ije certain that they are ci)rrect in stating that there aro IS Professors engaged in our Colleges ; A Ministers sustaining the position of Colleagues ; 2 that of Vaster Emeritus; 2 Agents of tho Church ; Ministers lletired, and 10 Ordained .Missionaries. Tho numbt^r of Ministers is, as nearly as can be made out, ()7i>, or including Professors (i!(7, which gives 12 more than last year. Eoports have boen received from 903 pastoral charges and stations, but, in many cases, when two or more congregations form a Charge, the reports aro combined, although it has all along been the desire of the Comn e to get a return from each, and to secure this, a note is appended to the slip for Statistics, " ,^. . Congregation and Station to bo reported separately, whether vacant or settled." The Committee have no means of knowing whether this combining is done by thoso filling up the congregational reports, or by Presbyteries. There aro 88 Congregations and Stations from which no reports have been received, 23 of these being in tho Synod of the .Maritime Provinces, 21 in that of Montreal and Ottawa, 31 in that of Toronto and Kingston, and 17 in that of Hamilton and London.

The expenditure on (JliurcbeH and MauHes wag 9;t.')7,81o, of whicdi iUiJAO were in Manitoba, and 8:t,l(ir)in mimiou HtntiouB, leavias 9341,110 to eonxregations, wbicb in an increase of 97H,ir)'J. (If this amount 8:t7,l)01 were eipemlud in tbe Synod of the Maritime Provinces, the largest sum lii'inH in the rni.sbylery of I'lotoii ; 870,7H-J in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, tbe Presbytery of Montreal alone rai.Ming 932, 105 of tbi,s ; 912-,01H in tbe Synod of Toronto and Kingston, the Prosbyjeiy of Kingston contributing 911),711. that of Toronto SII,IHtl. and that of Ouelpb .?2-1,4Gjj ; |1".").028 in the Synod of Hamilton and liOndon, of which 8'J2,")7o were raised in tbe Presbytery of Cliatham, and 91,5,137 in that of Stratford. Theam.itint expended on other inci- dental but strictly congregational objects wia 92i;.5,301, Manitoba contributing 93,'jyi of this, and mission stations 9-'tM, thus leaving 9200, UtJ, or ?11,1()0 in excess of the preceding year. Had the entries been correctly made these sums should have given an aggregate of ;$l,0Uy,161, but on adding up the column to which the totals are carried it amounts to Jl, 120,500, showing that there have been expenditures the items of wbicb have not been recorded. In the Presbytery of St, John the three entries given sum up to 922.1)7'.i, wliilo the audition is given as 930,4.5-1 adiscrepaucy of nearly §s,000. In tbe Synod of tbe Maritime Provinces ti Presbyteries of the 11 composing it are correct, 5 are wrong. In tbe Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, with Presbyteries, o are wrong, 1 of these only slightly, the aggregate in the column being 9SI.O00, showing that $8,87U have been omitted in tbe three preceding columns, as their ahgregato is 972,187. In tbe Synod of Toronto and Kingston, with '.) Presbyteriee, there are only 2 in which tbe odditions do not correspond. In tbe Synod of Hamilton and Ijondon, also with Presbyteries, 3 show discrepan- cies. The returns from Manitoba show an error of 9y,l.'')2. If we take from the total contribu- tio^s for strictly cmgregatioual purposes, 94.5,010 contributed in Manitoba and mission stations, there are left 91,074,950 for pastoral charges, being an inorWtse on tbe amount raised last year for the same objicts of *M),'J.53, and that year showed an iu.'^rease of 978,820 on the previous one. Tbe total amount raised for the Schemes of the Church was 9222, 40'J, or by pastoral charges, exclusive of Manitoba and mission stations, 921.5,055 ; and to this may be added, 91.078 of Syno.l Fund expenses, §3,308 of tbe Supplementing Fund of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces," and 94,562 Presbytery Fund expenses, with 9300 in two sums for Synod and Presbyfery Funds (but how much to each not stated), making a total of 9224,902, showing the gratifyiug increase of ;?03,775. Taking the particular schemes, $18,552 were raised for the Ordinary Fund of the Colleges, and $1)4,258 for tue Special Fund, of wbicb amount the Presbytery of Montreal raised 973,442, Halifax, 84,485. The sum raised for Homo Missions was 941,408, last year it was §15,519. For French Evangelization 817,589 were reported, an increase of nearly ;?l,boO. A slight increase of rather more than 3100 oppears iu tbe sum collected for Foreign Missions, the amount being 932,891. 95,533 were raised for the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund, an increase of 9913. and 91.537 for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, an increase of 9S52 on tbe year l>79-80. But there are also two sums, one of S131 and another of 87. given to the.se Funds, while the amount for each has not been speciliod. The contributions to tbe Assembly F,xp-use F'und were §4,l04, of which 821 were raised by mission stations and 930 by Manitoba — last year the amount was 04,034. The contributions for Benevolent and Heligimis I'lirnosBs, not nrnvinn.sly included, were 945.074, of which 9452 were raised in Manitoba and §120 in mission st^ti ms, showing an increase in the congiegations and vacancies of 92,530, By Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes 814,404 vere raised, of which §1 were in mission stations and 8104 in Manitoba. 9 1 clxiv.

The Committee on Finance of the Western Section are glad to report an increase in all the funds during the jiast year. Tlie increase is all tlie larger in consei|uence of several legacies and donations, e.tpecially the large beiiuests tt) .several of the schemes of the late Mr. ,Toseph .McKay, of Montreal. As the funds of the missionary, educational, and benevolent Rchemes are brought under the review of the Assembly in the Reports of the several Committees, it is considered necessary in this Report to iidvert only to the Assembly Fund. The total receipts were $4,0".t8.9!), of which amount the ■'um of fliW was from the Hymn Book Committee. The expenditure was S4,202.27, leaving a balance on the year of .?16;!.2S. In several of the I'resbyteries the amciunt has been collected by the Presbytery itself, and remitted by the P-i oytery Clerk or Treasurer. The Presbyteries of Lunenluirg and Yarmouth, Barrie, (iudph and Saugeen may be mentioned as Presbyteries that have attended to this matter. It will be borne in mind that the Assembly has more than once directed Presbytcrieu to collect the puiount fiom their cMmgregations, and were all to comply with the direction it is believeil that the amount required for Assembly purposes would be easily raised. In some Presbyteries there are congregations that have not contributed to the Assembly Fund since the iieriocl . KKlKIPTS. Amonnt received at Toronto office 81 1647 76 PAYMKNTM.
