Pbivknt ua, O Lord, in all our doings, with Thy most graoious favour ; «ud further us with Thy eontinual help : that ia all our works, begun, eontinued, andended in Thee, we may glorify Thy holy name, and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life, through Jesns Christ our Lord. — Amen. O OoD, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all works of piety and charity do proceed, we beseech Thee to visit with Thy favour our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, and so rule her heart, that she may in all things seek Thy honour and glory. Prosper with Thy blessing tlie designs of this Society. Comfort with Thy grace those benefactors who contribute to its support. Bless the ministry of Thy servants, the Clergy ; the endeavours of all who are engaged in spreading the knowledge of true religion in the dominions of our Sovereign, and the labours of those mis- sionaries who are promoting the same in this Province. And may Thy Holy Spirit direct all our consultations to the advancement of Thy glory, and the good of Thy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. — Amen. O Merciful Qod, who bast made all men, and hatest nothing that TIiou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but that he should be con- verted and live : Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Heretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word ; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. — Amen. OuB Fatbeb. which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy King* dom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. Oive us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. — Amen. WHEN THE BUSINESS IS ENDED.

REPORT. c s \ e Df a: le lie te. in or The review of the past year affords much enconrngemont to the members of this Society. Tlie contributions have considerably increased, and zeal, unanimity, and kind feelirfff have marked all its proceedings. Tlie aadresses delivered at the last anniversary meeting, held in St. John, bear wit- ness to the manner in which our wurk is regarded in that important section of the Diocese. Certain amendments in the Constitution were unanimously adopted at the last meeting of tlie General Committee, and except tlie time for holding the annual meetings, that sub- ject would now appear to oe arranged to the gener^ satis- faction of the Society. Acting upon the conviction, that provision for Missionaries to be sent to places destitute of the means of grace, was of primary importance, the General Committee at its last meeting confined the appropriations almost exclusively to that object. This course, under the present circumstances of the Diocese, seemed most likely to commend itself to tiie approval of the Society ; at the same time, it was much regretted that grants to other objects, especially to aid in the erection of churches, were of necessity, for the past year^ withheld. It will be most gratifying to the Society to learn, that its missionary work appears to have been blessed with more than usual success durins the past year. The Lord Bishop has been able to fill up t£e vacant missions of Bathurst, and Harvey and Hopewell in the County of Albert, by trans- ferring the assistant Missionaries at I^elson and Woodstock to those parishes. It will be seen, in the Heport, that the latter missions have been well supplied hj two clergymen ordained by his Lordship since the last meeting of the Society. By Uie removal from this Diocese to that of Toronto, of tlie assistant minister at St. Stephen, that post is vacant.'^ Its duties have been, for a time, most kindly performed by the Kev. G. W. Durell, a clergyman of the Episcopal Church of the United States stationed at Calais. The Society will be grieved to learn, that the Rev. C. G. Wiggins, who was in charge of Greenwich and Petersville, has Deen obliged for the present to lay aside his work. Tlio * since the abore wm in type, the Rev. H. Pollard, of St. Augusttne'i Collette, hai becfi ordained by tbe Lord Blihop, and bai aiiumed the dutlci of Curate of St. Stephen. H 10 strcngtli of this zealous clergyman seems to have been over- tasked by the duties of an extensive mission. It is to bo hoped that rest for a while in a milder climate will, by God's blessing, aid in restoring him to health. Exact and regular returns have been furnished by the Missionaries to \mose support this Societv contributes. From these we gain much valuable statistical information. The Society can perceive the condition of the field of labour at present occupied, and may learn henceforth, year by year, what is gained through the regular ministrations oi the Church. Thus we find that, previous to the present meeting of the General Committee, there were nineteen Missions, several of great extent, which, but for the aid furnished by this Society, would be destitute of the appointed means of grace. Comprised in these, are no less than thirty-eight churches, and about fifty other stations, where Divine ser- vice, at regular periods, is performed. It is weU known, however, that the most effectual part of the labour of the Missionary must be hid from public view. There is ever going on, in wose different missions, the fre- quent visitation from house to house, to the afflicted, the sick and the dying, the private admonition, the timely warning, by which sometimes a course of wickedness is ar- rested ; and all those other offices of love which belong to the holy function of the ambassadors for Christ. Kow this may be considered in addition to all that is stated in the reports, and fill our hearts with gratitude to God for per- mitting us to do this for the good of our fellow creatures and for the glory of His holy name. The following abstract from the Reports of the Missiona- ries and of the various Local Committees, will be read with more than usual interest Andotbr and Grand Falis. — Rev. S. J. Hanford, on behalf of this Mission, thanks the Society for the grant of books sLd tracts, and wishes to be re> membered in the same way this year. He is happy to report, notwitb- standiug the scarcity of money, an increased amount of contributions to the Society. "1 may also here," he writes, " lake the opportunity to men- tion a bequest of £50, made last year by a deceased member of the Church at Grand Falls to the Church at that place. I do not give the name of the party in a simple matter of doty, but the notice of such facts may remind others that they may 'go and do likewise.'" Contributioas: Divinity Scholarships, £4 lOt. ; General Purposes, £18 138. 2d.; total, £23 Ss. 2d. Blacktille and Nelson. — Rev. Wm. Crnden has only been six months in charge of this Mission, and has forwarded £20 IBs. 8d. as contributions to the Society, including a donation of one pound from himself towards a grant for books for a Lending Library. This object Mr. Cruden ooueideis it most necessary to promote, especially under the peculiar circumstances of liis mission. T tf*') 'r' It 1 1 •H» 11 t*»l f1' H* At a meeting of this Local Committee, the followiog Resolutions were passed: — 1. " That we gratefull}' thank Almighty Ood for having so far blessed the labours of the Diocesan Church Society ; and trust that notwithstanding the great pressure of the times, the returns of the Society will shew a largo increase over those of former years." 2. " That while we return tnanks to the Society for the grant of books and tracts to these parishes, we trust that the Society, in the next appro- ftriation, will be enabled to increase this grant, for the purpose of estab- ishing a parochial lending library, the want of which is very much felt, on account of the difficulty of obtaining books suitable for religious instruction." Mr. Cruden writes — "I was rery much gratified to find such a lively interest evinced by my parishioners for the welfare of the Society, when I explained to them the objects it had in view. The greatest proof of their good will is the amount of subscriptions and collections which I have been able to obtain dnrin|( my six months' labours among them. These labours require to be unceasing, to enlighten the minds of those who would other- wise be led into error. I shall always feel the greatest pleasure in using my best endeavours to forward the mteresta of the Society, and also the spiritual welfare of the people committed to my charge." Baxhubst. — ^This important mission, which had been for some time vacant, has been in charge of the Rev. 0. F. Street since the month of July last A Local Committee baa been formed, which met on the 21st Deo., when resolutions were passed exprcMive of approbation of the benefits conferred by the Diocesan Church Society, in supplying that support to this mission which had been withdrawn by the Society for the Propagation of the Oospel. The Committee resolved to use their best endeavours for the promotion of the Society, by which other destitute places in the Diocese may be blessed with the ministrations of the Church, and the circulation of sound religious books and tracts. They return thanks for the books obtained through the kindness of the Lord Bishop, and recommend a further grant for the Sunday-school at Bathurst, and for distribution in the several stations in the mission. Mr. Street writes with regard to the mission as follows — " I entered upon my present duties on the 12th July, 1867. The mission comprehends an extensive tract of country, affording a large and laborious field of labour. There is every variety of scenery to delist the eye, the tempestuous and mighty waters of the ocean, the rooky or sandy coast, and the rapid or gentle waters of four or five rivers flowing into a bay 100 miles in length. There is an invigorating climate to give a sound body to a sound mind ; and above all, there are many, very many, fellow creatures scattered through- out the mission, who respect the ministerial office, are strongly attached to the Anglican Church, and bestow upon the Missionary every attention and hospitality. There is but one drawback to his satisfaction, viz., the work being too great for one person's strength— (he vineyard is too exten- sive for one labourer. «< Members of the Church are scattered over the whole country on the New-Brunswick side of the Bay de Chaleur. There are about 68 families in and about the neighborhood of Bathurst, 84 in New Bandon, about 26 families at Salmon Beach, a settlement lying between New Bandon and Bathurst There are a few families, members of the Church, in the French aettlementa of Caraquet, Pugmouche, Sbippegan, Point Misooe, and Tra- oadie, who require occasional visits. •• The Missionary at Bathurst has also to travel up the Bay de Chaleur 40 miles, and up the Restigouche 26 miles, before he completes his tour.. Between Bathurst and Dalhousie there are two stations, which might be benefited by occasional services. In Dalhousie there are about 15 families members of the Church, and further up the Restigouche 5 or 6. The 12 county of ReiUgouohe preteDU a disoouraging field for a cUrgymnn of the Cburoh, the inbabitaats generally being attached to other oonimuuioni. There are, however, many who long for a resident Missionary, more espe- cially as there Is a chapel now nearly completed. ^ "The people throughout the mission generally are dependant upon their farms for support. But they are desirous to do what they can (though far less than is required) to defray the necessarjr expenses of a clergyman. There are but two churches in the mission besides the one nearl;^ finished at Dalbousie. They require much ropair. That at Bathurst is in such a state that it m«st soon be replaced by a new one. At Salmon Beach a vburch is much needed, and aid in the work is requested from the Society. ** During my short residence in this mission, 1 have bad much encou- ragement and much assurance of a gocd prospect for the future." Contributions amount to £16 2s. 6d. ; and books have b«en sold for the Fredericton Depository to the sum of £2 4s. OAMBBiooc-^ReT. A. Wood has the pleasure of reporting) that he has called the attention of his parishioners to the importance and usefulness of the Diocesan Church Society; and has obtained a small but cheerfully bestowed sum, amounting to £8 Is. 9d., of which 3s. was limited to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund. CAHFOBKixa — Rev. J. S. Williams reports £18 1 5s. as the amount of oontributions from this parish during the past year. Five persons have been confirmed, and five added to the list of communicants. The amount oontributed towards the support of the clergyman, aa well as that for* warded to the Society, is smaller than last year. This may be traced to the depression in business among the islanders, who are almost without exception dependant on the fisheries for their support. CABLXTON.—Rev. F. Coster has collected £8 I6a* 6d. for the Society, and has the promise of receiving still more. Cbathau.— Rev. Samuel Bacon reports that the following resolutions were passed at the annual meeting of this Committee :— • 1. "That they continue to entertain the deepest conviction of the vital importance of the Diocesan Church Society for the very existence of the Colonial Church ; which therefore demands the fervent prayers and muni- ficent contributions of every faithful member of her communion." In another resolution the Committee most strongly recommend the Society to srant some aid towards the completion of the church at Dal- housie ; and they also urge the propriety of establishing in that section of the Diocese a depository tor Bibles, Prayer-books, and other publications of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge; a recommendation concurred in by all the clergy present at a meeting of the Rural Chanter of Chatham, held on the 7th Oct. last Contributions are— for Churches and Chapels, £26 6s. 1i. ; General Purposes, £6 2s. ; total, £82 3s. Douglas.— Rev. O. Ooodridee Roberts writes— "I hope and think that, by God's blessing, the Church has made some progress in this mission siuca I last wrote to yon; and though it certainly falls somewhat short of what my ardour and inexperience then led me to anticipate, yet I trust I am thankful, and that not without reason, to the Father of mercies, for the measure of success which He has vouchsafed. ^ "I have baptized but two adults during the past year, one of whom has since gone to Him under whose banner he then enlisted ; the other, having received confirmation, has become a constant, and I trust, consistent communicant. " On the llih and 18th of August last, the Lord Bishop confirmed 21 can- didates in the middle and upper ohurobes of this parish, Of this number, i n* 13 I am bappy to aay, about twenty have already become partakers of tlie Lord's Supper ; and I have reason to believe, that there are few, if any, of the remaining seven, who are not desirous of enjoying the same blessed privilege. The number of communioants has, I think, more than doubled during the year. I have now sixty-eight upon the list. May God give them all grace to adorn the profession they have made, by living godly, righteous, and sober lives, to the glory of His holy name. "The oongregations continue undiminished, both in churches and stations ; and a commodious shed for the horses having been erected at the stone church, I am in hopes that even fewer than before will be kept at homo by the storms of winter. "Sunday schools were held during the summer at the upper and atone churches, though the distances from which the children have to come to the former, and the teachers to the latter, have been very great drawbacks to their success. Still, I look forward to a gradual and steady improve- ment, through the blessing of the Almighty, as the parents become mora and more awakened to a sense of their duty towards the souls of their children. "The interest of the people in this mission in the Diocesan Church Society continues unabated, as I trust the subscription list will testify. These are certainly hard times for many : but I hope the Society will not suffer for that cause. Surely our contributions towards the advancement of Christ's kingdom upon earth are the very last part of our expenditure which we should think it necessary to retrench. "At the annual meeting of our Local Committee, resolutions were passed expressive of gratitude to the Society for past help, and asking for addi- tional assistance this year. Especially, also, I would request a grant of books for settlement at Tay Creek." Contributions amount to £24 lOs. 8d. Fbedbrioton. — At a meeting of this Committee, held on the 13th January, the Yen. the Archdeacon in the chair, it was reported that the contributions would sxceed, to a considerable amount, any heretofore made to the Society, This, considering the meny hindrances at the present time, and the calls upon the members oi the Church for other purposes, was received as a cheering proof of increasing zeal and liberality. The following resolution was unanimously adopted : — "That in consideration of the present state of the Diocese with regard to its missionary work, this Committee approves of the course adopted by the General Committee at its last meeting, in making the missionary ope- rations of the Society its first consideration, and recommends a similar course in future. And further Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the Book Depositories have been productive of much good, and their con- tinued maintenance on the most effective footing is strongly recommended." Contributions amount to £219 93. lOd. Gaoetown. — Rev. K A. Coster reports contributions to the amount of £3 12s. 4d. Glbnelo, Newcastle, and the Settleuents on the South West Branch of THE MiBAMiCHi. — ^Thc Rcv. J. Hudsou, visiting Missionary, writes, that " sickness and other changes and chances," prevented him from assembling his people at Glenelg until the 23d instant, when the Local Committee met, and passed a resolution, again affirming "it to be the solemn duty of all true-hearted Churchmen to assist by their liberal offerings in promoting the great and holy objects now embraced by the Diocesan Church Society ; and trusting that its members would long continue to work happily together in the accomplishment of the same." At this meeting it was also resolved to ask the Society for aid towards repairing the iittle church of the parish. ^ t i 14 " Th« Society ii doubtless aware," continues Mr. Iludson, '< that the Rev. W. Grudeu, a graduate of Trinity College, Toronto, has been appointed to the oaraoy of Nelsoa and Blaokville, 'ground almost fallow,' nearly 84 miles in extent, and lately occupied by the Rev. C. F. Street, who is now in charge at Batburst, New Bandon, and other settlements on the Bay de Chaleur. With Mr. Cruden's cheerfully given assistance, the' church at Newcastle has been open for Divine worship almost every Sunday for some time past; while the Churchmen at Point Escuminac (40 miles from Mr. Hudson's present home), and the little flocks at Ludlow and Boiestown (distant 60 or 70 miles from the same spot), have also bad the benefit of this missionary's occasional services. "From the foregoing brief statement, the Society will at once perceive how necessary it is, that three clergymen at least should be stationed in this estensive county, if the Church of England is to " hold her own ;" and more than this she hopes to do even here, with God's blessing, and the hearty co-operation of her faithful sons and daughters." The visiting missionary adds, that it is a matter of gratification to him, in being able to state, that notwithstanding the unexampled hardness of the times, there has been a considerable increase in the offerings lately remitted to the Society from his really poor district. These contributions (exclusive of those sent by the Rev. Messrs. Street and Cruden) are as follows: — Point Escuminac, £1 'Ja. Id. ; Glenelg, £6 4s. Id. ; Newcastle, £12 6s. Id.; Northesk, 198. Id.-, Blissfield, 13s. 2d.; Ludlow, £2 15s. Id.; Boistown, £1 12s. Id. ; offerings after churchings, 1b. Id. ; sale of Church books, £2 14s. 9d.; total, £28 19s. 6d. Orand Manan.- mission. -The Rev. O. T. Carey has forwarded £& from this Gbbenwioh and Petersville. — ^W. B. M'Eeel, Esq., in the absence of the Rev. C. G. Wiggins, has enclosed the sum of £16 Vs. 6d. from the parish of Greenwich, which, he is happy to say, exceeds the contributions of any former year. Dr. Bayard has enclosed his subscription of £1 for the past year. Hampton.— Rev. W. W. Walker writes, " The present i» the only season when, with any prospect of success, we can ask for contr'* ations ; and if the proposed change takes place, and the meetings of the Society occur in the summer, I fear we who live in the country, shall in vain ask for aid to the funds. The interest hitherto manifested in the success of the Society is by no means diminished, as the following resolution will shew — "That this Committee desires to record its heartfelt satisfaction at the success which attends the operations of the Diocesan Church Society, and its continued interest in its welfare." Contributions £32 8s. lOd. Habtbt and HoFEWELL-^Rev, Henry B. Nichols having resigned the curacy of Woodstock in June last, was at once appointed by the Bishop to take charge of this mission, the duties of which he assumed in the month of July. Mr. Nichols mentions with expressions of gratitude the very kind feeling manifested by the people at Woodstock, who presented him with an address and a handsome present on his departure. In bis new mission he found but few families members of the Church of England. These, however, were much attached to their church, and required to have its services resumed. During the summer and autumn he arranged to have Divine service in four places, in each once a fortnight, morning and evening alternately. One of them was held at the Goal Mines, which has been, for the present, discontinued, most of the workmen having left at the beginning of winter; and a service is performed at Hopewell Corner instead. He also holds a service at Salmon River, 20 15 milei diataDt, once a month on a week day, where there are a few warm* hearted Churchmen. He reckons the number of families in communion wi*' the Church as 27 ; adults, 72; children, 68; total, 129. " Great part of the congregation," Mr. Nichols writes, " is composed of those who differ from us on many points; yet they evince a readiness to hear the gospel from a missionary of our branch of the church of Christ, and even to contribute towards hia support, and to Ghumh objects in ge- neral. It would indeed be more gratifying to have around me more mem- bers of our communion ; yet besides those who are suoh^ I remember that all are brethren, ' for whom Christ died,' and I endeavour to do them good. If I do my duty in this small sphere allotted me, I still hope for my reward. " We had a very interesting service during the summer at the Hill. Ten children, from 13 years and under, were admitted, at one time, into the Church by baptism. A large number of anabaptists were present on the occasion, and I hope the solemn sight will have an influence for good." The meeting of the Local Committee was an interesting one, and well attended. ^ Resolutions were passed unanimously, expressive of attachment to the Society, and of a pledge to renewed exertions in its behalf; urging a change in the time of holding the annual meetings ; requesting a re- appropriation of the grants to the churches and to the parsonage in this mission; and also asking for another grant of books, from which great benefit is derived. It was at the same time, resolved to proceed with the erection of the church at Hopewell, during the present year. Local sub- scriptions to this object are at present, £47 128. 6d.; and for the church a( Harvey, £14 lOs. The contributions to the Society amount to £12 10s. 9d. Howard Settlement, Camtebbuby. — A long list of subscribers has been forwarded by the Rev. J. Hartin, amounting in all to £8 Ss. 2d. " I desire," he writes, " to express my most sincere thanks to the Society for the grant of £30 in support of this mission, and for the books. In ad- dition to my labours in the Howard Settlement, Divine service is performed OB the first Sunday in every month at Eel River, and also at the M'lllroy Settlements. I also pay an occasional visit to some of the more remote settlements along the river. I have 4 stations (exclusive of my visits as missionary to the labourers on the St. Andrews and Quebec Railroad, to whom a portion of my time is still devoted), at which Divine service is performed. The congregations are not large, especially in the winter months, when many are engaged in lumbering operations. The people era so scattered, that it is quite impraeticable to have services during the week. There are more than 800 men in different parties, employed on the Rail- road, and many more expected eai*ly in the spring. 1 earnestly solicit a grant of prayer-books and tracts for distribution among them." KiNosoLEAB. — Rev. J. Black has enclosed returns from this Committee, shewing contributions amounting to £16 lis. 4d. Einoston. — Rev. W. E. Scovil writes, "I have not been able to raise as much as last year, owing to the heavy demands made upon my people for their own churches. The chapel at White's Point has been repaired; but the chief exjpenditure during the past year has been occasioned by enlarging and improving the parish church of Kingston, which being the oldest in the Province, has now, at an outlay of some £900, been fitted for its holy work for another lengthened period of time. The parish has had very little assistance from without. A committee was appointed last spring, who, on the faith of liberal subscriptions, made within its own limits, became personally responsible to the workmen ; so that the edifice, which is now all completed but the steeple, is left altogether free of debt. "Under these circumstances, I trust we shall not, on account of the pre- sent deficiency, be thought to have withheld too much of our means from the funds of the excellent Diocesan Church Society, in whose welfare every i IC Cliurclitnan in the Froviooe ought oonfesaedly to feel unabated interett." Kubaoriptiona and oolleotiona amount to £26. Lancaster. — Rev. O. Bedell has enclosed returns, shewing amount oon- tributed for the general purposes of the Society, £25 Qs. 6d. He writea as follows: — " At the Lord Bishop's visitation in July last 26 persons were confirmed, one of whom was an aged man, who was baptized, confirmed, and admitted to the holy communion on the same day. Two other of the candidates for confirmation were baptized on the same day. Seven oonfirmanta communicated for the first time. Three has previously been commnnl* cants. I have ministered at the bed-side of three dying persons, all young, respectively «et 17, 18, and 28. Ministrations to the sick are required, and performed almost daily. There have, during the year, been 4 burials and 5 marriages. ".Though feeling, in common with the rest of the Diocese, the pressure in the monetary department, improvements have been and are being made in our church buildings. During the past year, my parish, in other respects, has, with Ood's blessing, made progress in support of the Church, and with humility and thankfulness, I trust the parishioners are advancing in the knowledge of those things which belong to their everlasting peace." Maugbrtille and Burton. — Rev. A. V. G. Wiggins, D. D., is sorry to report a smaller amount of contributions than formerly ; but under the circumstances it is really larger than he anticipated. " When it is con- sidered," Dr. Wiggins writes, " that we have still a considerable sum to raise to pay off the debt on the Maugerville church, and that we are pre- paring to commence a new one in Burton next spring, towards the erection of which £560 has been already subscribed, and take into account the scarcity of money, I trust the Society will not regard the falling off of our contributions as an indication of a want of zeal in the good cause." Contributions for Burton, £11 lis. lid. ; for Maugerville, £6 Os. S^d.; total, £11 123. 4d. MoNCTON. — Rev. W. N. Boyer has enclosed alist of subscribers amounting to £5 lOs. Id., and says that the falling off in the amount, compared with that of last year, is owing to removal of parties who then contributed. "The number of Church people," Mr. Boyer writes, " is small, and they have done to the utmost of their power. The times here, as elsewhere, in regard to money matters, are very gloomy. And another reason: my parishioners have been called upon to expend in a fence around the church, and towards the completion of the parsonage, the sum of £60. In nil this they have to depend on voluntary contributions. I trust this will be taken into favourable consideration by the Society. I can testify to the grateful feelings of my parishioners towards it." Durinff the past year the services of the church have been largely attended, and the congregations attentive and devout. New Maryland. — ^The expense of maintaining this small mission has, for several years past, been in part defrayed by an allowance of £20 from the funds of the Society. By this means the people have bad the regular performance of Divine service on Sundays, besides frequent visits at their own houses during the week. The number of families professedly in con> nection with the Church does not exceed 13. Among them there are many young people growing up, who seem attentive to their religious duties ; some of whom, it is trusted, will reward the missionary by becoming consistent members of the Church. The contributions to the Society are £t 2s. 6d. Norton. — Rev. K A. Warneford reports the amount of contributions from this Committee as larger than last year, which, he writes, speaks well for his parishioners, considering the many expenses they have had to meet. « * «- ■'» ^ V ^ 17 ^ w ■^.. r '*• /■ But may theii* zeal, he adds, for the welfare of the Society prompt them to give yet more and more. At the meeting of the Local Committee, the following resolution was passed : "Whereas the parsonage house in this parish was destroyed by fire during last winter in the Rector's absence, who was attending themeetin.^ of the Diocesan Church Society in St. John ; and although aided by our fellow-Churchmen in the adj ining parishes and elsewhere, we still find ourselves unable to meet t^e expenses of erecting and finishing the new parsonage. Therefore Retolved, That the Diocesan Church ^ciety be earnestly petitioned to grant us aid in finishing the bouse now in course of erection." The Committee also thank the Society for the grant of books, and hope to be remembered in the same way this year. Contributions are £23 12s. 2d. PBiNOBWnuAM, DuHrsiBS, Magundt, fca — Rev. Philip Wood Loosemore reports the sum of £24 8s. for the general purposes of the Society; and he writes as follows : — " I gladly send you a few particulars of our endeavours during the past year, to carry out in this part of the Diocese the great object the Society has in view ; and I do so the more cheerfully, because there has beea manifested by those among whom it is my privilege to labour, a marked willingness to ' honour the Lord with their substance, and with the first- fruits of all their increase,' of which I trust you will consider the accom- panying list of subscribers a tangible and sufficient proof, No words of mine are necessary to prove to the Society that there is a goodly number in this mission desirous of eojoying ' the means of grace,' and the ordi- nances of a pure Church, as afforded by the agency of the Diocesan Church Society of New Brunswick. With regard to the amount contributed, it may be stated, that the sum is equal to that raised last year, though now the book account is excluded, and the same sum realized by the additioa of 38 new subscribers. The book account for the year amounts to £12< Bibles, Prayer-books, and tracts having been sold ahd distributed. " A confirmation was held in this mission by the Lord Bishop inSeptem* ber last. Much information on this subject will doubtless find its way to the Report from other sources. I will merely mention one fact of special interest A veteran of well nigh four-score and ten years, a venerable old man of 89, his two children, and his five grandchildren, knelt together to receive the ' blessing of Ood's ministering servant.' i?his patriarch left ' the old country' without any opportunity of receiving the rite of confir- mation, and therefore was giad to avail himself of the earliest occasion which offered. It will be evident that there was some reality in this good man's conduct, when it is known that he is a regular attendant at church, and a constant communicant ; that he attends the Sunday service at one settlement, and the week-day service at another, and walks three miles each way to be present — a noble example to younger and more active limbs. The whole number confirmed was 69, who will, we hope, increase the number of oommunioanta — an increase greatly needed and repeatedly enforced. "Having three churches in which Sunday service must be held, I find it necessary to hold ssrvice on Wedcesdays, at a populous settlement in the woods, where throughout the year the average attendance is 40; and, as an evidence to the supporters of the Society of the usefulness of stated and regular services, which their aid will enable their missionaries to maintain, I beg to present a brief history of the rise and progress of that particular service, held once a fortnight on Wednesday mornings. When the service of the Church was commenced there, the clergyman waited in vain for the usual response which belongs to the people. In due time, however, by the repeated sale of prayer-books, which were eagerly purchased, the 18 Toioet of the people were heard, at first iomewbat feebly, but io contie of time audibly and heartily. And now, to the oredit of many who hare taken pains to carry out St Paul's prinoiple of doing ' all things deeently and in order,' Divine serTice is there celebrated in a manner more worthy of His aoeeptonce, in whose name our assemblies met " In the mission there are two Sunday schools. In one of them children assemble regularly every Sunday, though the average attendance is small. During the past year another school has been established at Magundy, by the kind assistance of the church-warden residing there, at which the average attendance is 20. "It is observable that there are few opportunities of visiting the sick in this mission. Of 616 parochial visits, only 16 were to sick persons. This speaks well for the salubrity of the climate in this part of the Diocese. *' I may here remark, that on the fast>day lately appointed, we had ser- vice in each of the three churches, and a oollectioa in aid of the 'Indian Relief Fund,' which amounted on the whole to £5. "In conclusion, it may be added, that this must be considered as a record of continued good-will from those for whose 'souls' we are appointed to ' watch ;' and that if there has been necessarily much to discourage, there has been much more to animate and encourage, and that a aew year is propitiously begun." PoKn.ANi>. — ^ReT. W. Harrison is happy to inform the Society, that the sum of £42 has been collected in this parish for the general purposes of the Society. PoBTLAND, St. Paul's. — Rev. Charles Lee reports eontribations to the amount of £76 lis. 8d. QcBBNBBUBT. — Rcv. H. W. Tippctt reports contributions amounting to £11 128. 2d., a small advance over the past year, which, he trusts, will go on iocreasing. "In reference to this mission," Mr. Tippett writes, "I have not much to say ; but my own state of feeling is one of hope and encouragement. " My people are surrounded by dissent, and so much scattered, that though a small number altogether, I am obliged to occupy six stations to serve them. Of these, three are served once a fortnight, and two once a month, and the fifth about once every two months. At two of them I administer the holy communion monthly, and at another we have begun the building of a church, which we hope to complete, or nearly so, during the current year. "I cannot report any increase in the number of Church members during the past year ; four children have been baptized, and there are about 80 communicants. " I have the prospect of an English settlement being formed, during the year, within the mission, of about twenty families. Many of them will probably be members of the Church, and I should be glad to be near enough to take them under my pastoral charge." St. Datid. — Rev. J. S. Thomson reports contributions from St. David, £10, and the like sum from St Patrick, in all £20. "This will shew," he writes, " the affection of my people for the objects of the Society. " Our church continues to be^attended by a congregation of, I hope, de> Tout and certainly attentive worshippers, in number according to the season and weather, from 10 or 20 to 160 and upwards. There are 60 oommnni- oants in the parish. I am constantly losing some by death or emigration. There is now lying in my near neighborhood the remains of a lovely and most interesting girl, awaiting burial, whom I baptized on her deathbed; and I humbly trust, that the solemn, mournful, and yet most cheering event, may be blessed to me, the family, and the neighborhood.

James Neales reports tlie sum of £35 15s. for the general purposes of the Society. He writes, that the want of employment among the labouring part of hie congregation, has alone hindered him from forwarding a larger amount Saokvillc akd Dobobibtib. — Rev. T. N. Dewolf has enclosed a subscript tion list from Sackville amounting to £18 lOs. 6d., and from Dorchester, £18 10s. 8d., total, £27 Os. 9d., for the general purposes of the Society. St. Anpbiws.— Rev. J. Alley, D. D., writes, "Herewith you will receive £82 6s. 6d., the amount of aubscriptions in this parish for the Diocesan Church Society. I am sorry the amount is not greater ; but I assure you, that the sums given have fallen far short of the inclination of the subscri- bers. The late money pressure has had a severe effect on this place, and were it not for the money expended by the Railroad Company, I may aafely eay, we should have been visited by severe distress." ' Dr. Alley also encloses the following Resolutions, passed at a meeting of this Committee, held on the 4th of January, 1858. 1. "That this Committee ardently hope that ample means may be afforded to enable the Society to extend the sphere of its important labors. 2. "That the Society is justly entitled to tbo cordial thanks of every member of the Church 'in this Diocese. 8. "That this Committee continues to entertain the same sentiments which it has frequently before expressed in favour of the Diocesan Church Society, and still repeats its conviction of the great benefits which the Church has already derived from its exertions." St. Geobge, Pennfield, and Roobke Settlement. — Rev. J. M'Givern has enclosed returns from these parishes, shewing the sum of £24 28. for the general purposes of the Society. The annual meeting of the Local Commitiae was held on the 8d instant, the Rector in the chair, when it was resolved — "That the chairman do convey to the Society the assurance of our una> bated confidence in the good cause, our approbation of the wise adminis- tration of its funds for the several christian otyeots embraced by the Society, with our fervent prayers to the great Head of the Church, for His continued presence with and His gracious blessing upon all its future labours. "That we observe with regret a small deficiency in the present year's contributions in this mission ;* the cause is well known, and need not be repeated here. We indulge, however, the hope, that by the blessing of God, and the return of better times, we shall be able to make this good on a future occasion. " In the distribution of the Society's annual grant of books, we remark that the Rector has established two lending libraries attached to each of the churches in St. George and Pennfield, and numbering at present 150 and 125 volumes respectively. These books, we have reason to believe, are most useful to the reading portion of the Church people. 'Never before the library was got *:p,' said a member of the congregation at Penn- field upon a late occasion s.< t> e minister, * was there so much reading in the parish.' ' One motive surely this,' was the reply, ' why you should love the Church Society.' We hope to be remembered in the appropriation of the gra^nt for books tiie present year." Mr. M'Givern writes, that it is his wish, and that ot the Committee, that their lay delegates support ihe motion for a change in the time of holdiug the annual meetings. * It will be seen that this deficiency hat been more than supplied since thid report was received. 20 Bt.

"While I reffret," Mr. Fairweather writea, "thedeoreaRo in the amount contributed By our Committee, I cannot aay I am surprised at it. With the oommeroial affairs of the Proviuue in so deranged a uondition; the mills, ship-yards, and other manufacturing establishments around us, upon which we depend for employment and income to so many of our people, ■tanding idle, and with the existing unoertaiotpr as to when a better state of things may be expected, it ought not to excite aurprise, if contributions to this and kindred societiea ahew a diminution. We have rather reason to be thankful, that at such a time so near an approa« fruits of his labours are not more abundant; yet be toils on in hope, re- collecting that Paul " planted, Apolloe watered, but Ood gave the increase." During the past year he has preached 121 times, to congregations num- bering from 10 to 120, sometimes in log cabins, and aometimea in school bouses. He haa been sreatly assisted in his labours by three gentlemen, Mr. Clarkaon, Mr. Biden, and Mr. Covert, who have acted as catechiat«, declining to accept any portion of the £10 granted by the Society at its last meeting. Ho hopes in a few days to remit a further sum. St. Stcpbens. — Extract of a letter from the Rev. Qeorge W. Dnrell, Rector of St. Anue'a Church, Calais, Maine, to the Lord Bishop ot Frederioton :— "RtouT Rrv. and Deab Sib, — Yoa were good enough to request me to inform you, near the beginning of the year, what servioeehad been per- formed by me in the parish of St, Stephen and vicinity during the absence of I he Rector. "Fur the last six months I have celebrated divine service a id preached once evury Sunday in Christ Church, St. Stephen. The children of the Sunday school have been frequently catechised by me in the church. The eohool ia in a prosperous condition, and the teaohers manifest a growing interest in their work. The regular Suuday aervioe ia very well attended. There is an improvement, I think, in the mode of making the responses, and also in the singing. I meet the choir every Wednesday evening, and direct their practice. Your Hymn Book is deservedly prized by us all aa an invaluable help in the publio worship. "In addition to these duties, I have held occasional services and preached in the parish church, and also in the parish of St. James. I have baptized twelve persons, and attended eight funerals. Collections are taken in church every Sunday, and I have received in all for my services for the half year, £26." • * * Nehemiah Marks, Esq., has enclosed ■ list of subsoribera, amounting to £1*7 Is.

Disbrow is happy to report an Increased amount of contributions, being for the present year £12 148. lid. "This," he writes, " shews notwithstanding the great scarcity of money, and the general depression in the various branches of business, a warm attach- meut to the Society's cause. The last Report of the Society, containing the speechea at the previous meeting, haa had an encouraging efifect upon ilie members of the Church in this section. "During the past year I have preached on Sundays over one hundred tiiiu's, und in addition to my other duties, have had an occusiuual service at the Alms House on a week day.

Bliss writes that his aubseriptiona •re not yet completed, amounting at preiieut to £22 28. 4d. Ttie amount will probably exceed that of the past year, notwithstanding the unprece- dented scarcity of money. At the meeting of the Local Committee, it was resolved that the thanka of thia committee be heartily rendered to the Diooesnn Church Society for the liberal grants made at all times to this mission, and that a continuance of the aame generous liberality be respectfully solicited. That the lay delegates be instructed to oppose any motion for changing the time of holding the annual meetings of the Society. "It is," Mr. Bliss writes, " with feelings of gratitude and pleasure that I report the atate of this mission as satisfactory in many respects. The attendance at both ehurches and at all the stations is Urge and steady. This is owing to tha regularity with which the appointments are kept. The oommunioanta are increasing, some of those lately confirmed having beoo added to the number. "The mission is an extensive one, and consequently the duty very arduous. If there were any possibility of a clergyman being found who could take the parish of Johnson, I would earnestly urge upon the Society the propriety of dividing the mission. I have now two churches and four atationa, giving one two full services every Sunday and one every other Saturday. Although I am but young, and have served the Society but little, I begin to feel the effects of my work upon my throat, which trou- bias me much in reading or preaching, so much so as at times to make me dread the approach of Sunday. I am willing, however, to labour as long as my strength will permit, thankful to do something, however feeble, in my Master's vineyard. "There were 24 peraons confirmed at the late risitation of the Bishop." Upbau. — Hey. W. H. DeVeber reports £31 16s. ^id. as the amount con- tributed to the Society in this mission, Mr. Joseph A. Fowler, Secretary of this Local Committee, has enclosed the following resolutions, passed at a meeting held in St. Peter'a Church on the 2d inatant: — 1.

Woodstock, — Tbe annual meeting of this Gummittee was held on the 27ib Deo., aud reiolutiona were passed thanking the Huoiety for the graut uf books, and reuominondiug another similar appropriation this year, aud 2. That this Committee observe with lively interest the yearly piogresa of the Society, and luok forward with hope and trust to tbe time when, by the blessing uf Ood, it< benefits may be experienced in the remotest settlemeutR of tlie diuoeae, and felt aud acknowledged bv all to be wbatit really is, a "Society for the propagation of tbe Oospel.' 8. That the failure in a very iinpurlaut branch of business, has caused here, as elsewhere, an almost unparalleled scarcity of money; yet this Cuminittee, knowing the paramount impurtance of the Diocesan Church Society, and fully alive to the necessity uf sustaining it, feels bound to the same exertion as heretofore iu its behalf. 4. That this Cummittee, while it deeply sympathises with the Society for the Propagation of the Oospel, at the destruction of two of its late flourishing missions, aud the loss uf several of its most zealous missionaries in India, consider it the duty of each member of the Church in this Diocese to make every exertion to aid the funds of the Church Society, that thereby the burden upon the parent Society may be lessened, and its bounty extended where it is more urgently required, viz., in the conversion of our felluw-subjecta in India aud other British possessions, who, although dwelling amid the grossebt heathen darkness and superstition, are yet, many of them, " hungering aud thirsting" after the " bread aud watera of life." Tite Committee also strongly recommend a change in the time of tb« general meetings of the Society. The Rev. S. D. Lee Street, in enclosing the foregoing resolutions, writes aa fulluwB :— " Little can arise iu such a mission as this, beyond tbe regular routine of duty, to afford any particular iuterest to the Society. During the past year, it is true, there have been more than the usual number of deaths, and many from among the young and middle-aged, adding to the multitude of waruings that uu age can escape the unerring shafts of death. With regard to oue of them especially, it may be said to have been a very striking instance of the power of the grace of God upon the heart of tbe truly penitent. '* The Rev. H. B. Nichols was removed early in June last to the charge of a parish, and I was consequently left alone fur a few months, aud had 1 i 24 reluctantly to relinqniih many of the regular servioef. During this time 1 was also called upon to prepare oandidates for ooufirmation, and scat- tered as they were over this extensive mission, it was impossible for me, with many other demands upon ray time, to afford them all the attention they required. However, I was enabled to present 58 for that holy rile, administered by the Lord Bishop in September last (two of this number ]iad been previously baptized as adults); and as a most comforting proof tiiat my labour had not been bestowed in vain, eleven of this number came forward on the same day and received their first communion ; and my earnest prayer is, tliat they may ever continue steadfast in the fuitb, waiting and 'watching for the coming of the Lord.' " The Rev. E. S. Woodman entered upon his duties as Curate about the Ist October, and bids fair to be a useful and zealous assistant. The usual work in the mission was then resumed, viz., five full services on every Sunday, and a monthly service on Wednesdays at four different stations. These services are performed by the curate, and though on a week-day, the congregations are general!}* large, attentive, and devout. A number of Churchmen live in these distant and fast-increasing settlements, who are most desirous of the re^tular services of the Church. They travel some distance to attend, and bring their children to be baptized. " These weekly duties," Mr. Street concludes, *' are performed by the Curate. I formerly took part, but latterly my state of health has not justified me in undertaking more than the work which surrounds me nearer home. The five services on Sunday are divided equally between the Curate and myself, he preaching twice, and I myself three times. Still, with all this work, it grieves me to think of what is left undone, and of the many portions of this extensive mission which can receive little or no attention. Well may we therefore pray that the Lord may send more labourers. 'The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.' " (Contributions are £63 12s. d-^d. These reports, it is believed, fully confirm the assertion that the ministrations of the Church have been greatly blessed during the past year, and they shew as one of the fruits of this blessing, that with the very many local claims upon the liberality of its members, and all the well known difficulties of the present time, there is a large increase in the gross amount contributed to the ^Society, which is as follows : — Divinity Scholarships, £4 10s. ; Schools, 5s. ; Wi- dows' and Oi-phans' Fund, IBs. ; Churches and Chapels, £26 58. 7d.; General Purposes, £1,439 Ss. 5d. ; Ibtal, £1^471 2s. This was indeed anticipated by many at the last Anniver- sary Meeting. But since that period events have occurred wholly Ainforseen, which have aflfected in some degree each member of the community. For while, in great mercy, God has blessed the earth with more than usual fruitfulness, sud- denly, without any assignable cause, the course of business and commerce has been arrested, and in many instances embarrassment and want have taken the place of prosperity and abundance. Now faith leads us to see in all this the hand of an overruling Providence, as much as if He had sent a famine or a pestilence, and an evident purpose too in connexion with objects like those embraced by this Society. 25 I God tliiiB plainly calls upon his creatures to remember tho transitory tenure of wealth gained or held for mere temporal ends, and tliat its possession is best secured when a due pro- portion is devoted to His service from whose bounty every thing is received. Other events also having a direct bearing on the work of this Society demand our attention. The historian of the past year will have to record deeds of darkness and atrocity such as were never recorded before ; committed in distant lands by those professedly without the pale of Christianity, and nearer home too we have shuddered at acts of cruelty al- most unheard of, perpetrated in this christian land. "What do we see here but the dark sad picture of human nature as it is, and ever will be, without such means of grace as we are permitted to enjoy ? Do we not here perceive the ab- solute need of a work such as this Society has undertaken to do? Upon all to whom the light of truth has been ex- tended, the express charge has been laid to extend that blessing to others; and all his creatures, fallen though they be, are dear in their Redeemer's sight. But apart from this pressing consideration, the experience of the past year would assure us, that there is no real security against the action of the basest passions of a fallen nature save in the extension of the Gospel of Christ — its power and influence on the hearts and lives of men. To a deep sense of this our fellow Churchmen in Great Britain seem now to be fully aroused. Great are the eiforts being made to extend the knowledge of salvation to the wretched heathen of India. We would surely not ask to have any portion diverted from an object so sacred to supply our spiritual wants. But can we be content meanwhile to stand still and watch the work of ruin going on around us, making no effort to arrest it ? It cannot be disguised that, far and near, there is growing up an heathenism — fatal to individual souls and injurious to the best interests of the community. This will ever be, when the means of grace, appointed by Christ himself, are not afforded ; and each year of neglect makes it harder to supply a remedy. Let it then be known to every member of the Church throughout the Diocese, that by his offerings to God through this Society, by his prayers for its success, by his active co- operation in its work, he does so much for the glory of God, for the good of those for whom the Saviour died, for his own security — his temporal — his eternal peace. 2C 2 3 5" o S O B ^ £ 5 s 5 g.

Tba prooaedinga were opened aa uiual by tha Saeretary with prayer. Hia iSxoellency waa pleated to addraaa the meeting aa followa :— Tbe object, obaraoter and general potition of thia Soeiaty are ao wall known, aud the olaime wbioh it baa to tba lopport of every member of tha Church of Eoglaod in our Province are eo fully reeogniied, that I doubt very muoh whether I abould not beat perform toe duty, wbioh Ibava with great pleaanra undertaken,, of preaiding over thia meeting, by at onea oalling on the Secretary to reaa tha Report ; and I feel moreover that in addraeaing to you any obMrvatioaa, I may perhapa treapaaa upon tba fonc- tiona of my reverend friend tbe Seoretary, whoaa doty it will be to read that Report But there are one or two pointa which I think eapeaially worthy of notice, and to wbieb therefore I wiab to call your attention, without however entering into any of thoae detalla which will be explained by the Secretary. 1 am than moat happy to find that the eolleetiona and aubacriptiona of tbe laat year, have exceeded thoae of the previoua year. Thia would of it- aelf, under any oiroumatancea^ be matter of oongratulation. But if thaaa inoreaaed auMoriptiona bad been a aolitarv inataitoe, or bad ariaan from oaaual or temporary oircumatanceat I abould not have been diapoaed to rejzard it with tbe aame fealinga of aatiefaation which I now entertain, when, however, we recoUeottbat for manTaueeaaaiva yeara^ tba eoUaotiona and anbecriptiona have been progreiaiveTy increaaing, and that tba aub- acriptiona of tbe laat year, therefore, hare not only exceeded thoae of tba previoua year, but alao thoae of any former year, and when wa remember that thia exceaa baa not ariaen from any caaual or temporary eiroum- atancea (for the eventa of tha past year have not bean aueh aa would in themaelvea decreaaa the difficulty of collecting aubacriptiona), tba faot to which I have called your attention ia, I think, aaourca for aineara oongratu- lation; inaamuob aa it afforda aatiafaotory proof that thia Society baa out- lived the dangera and triala to whioh every auch aaaociation ia naoeeaarily aubieot in ita infancy, and that it baa atruok ita roota deep in tha affaationa of the roembera of the Church, whoaa oonfidenca and aupport have growa in proportion to their experienea of ita oparationa. But while I congratulate you upon thia atata of affaire, I am aura tou will agree witb me that all haa not yet been dona whioh ia required to be don*. I think that one of the moat intereating facta in the Report wbioh will be read thia evening, ia that which givea a atatemant of the amount of exar- tiona and laboura to which the clergy of the Church of England are aubjeot in thia Province. Tbota clergymen are, aa you know, gentlemen of irre- proachable character, for had tbey not been of irreproachable character, they would not have been ordained. They have neceaaarily undergone a Appendix. long oourM of «dttoatioD, wbiob, in proportion to ilv lenglb, has been ex- pensiv«. Remtmber, too, that in entering tbe miniatry bere tbey bave given up all hope of that aaeceisfal advanoement which is dear to all- dear tohumanity in general, and certainly not less dear to the people of this ProTince. than to the inhabitants of any other part of the world. Compare the labonre and exertions of these men with the pittance they re- ceive^ ani^ I am sure yon will not think that all has been done which ought to be done, or may be done, or, as I hope, will hereafter be done. We bear of many apirfications for new Ghorohes in dif'ere'jt parts of the Province : I for one bail these applications with great satisfaction, for they show an increased desire on the part of the members of the Church, for opportunities of enjoying i's servieea But when I see the extensive field in which each Missionar3' has to labor, when I see the enormous num* ber of miles which he has to travel, then, much as I should rejoice in the multiplication of Churches, I cannot but thiol: that tbe multiplication of clergymen is of still greater importance. But while I would wish to impress upon you the claims of the clergy of the Church of England here for some relief, you will bear in mind that I do not ask it for them personally, and certainly I do not beliove that there is a single clergyman who would ask it of you in that sense. Tou will obeervcb that they do not ask for increase of remuneration, but of an increase in tbe number of churches, which would increase their labors, but this fact certainly does not disentitle tbem to the consideration of the association. When therefore I heard that in the present state of the funds, it had been determined in tbe first instance to provide additional clergymen for several destitute districts soliciting tUe Society's aid, I must say that I regarded this as a wise determlniition ; and I believe, as well as hope, where clergy- men are sent, church accommodation will within a short time be provided. You are aware that the aid which has hitherto been received from home— from the Society for the Propagation of tbe Gospel in Foreign Parts — is continued only for a time, and is m course of diminution. 1 think no member of our Church will be disposed to blame that Society for the course it has taken, in eonsequonce of the many calls made upon it to establish missions in various parts of the world ; nor am I certem that this course will wholly be unproductive of good. Many persons, especially those who come from England, are too much in the habit of believiug that a minister of the Church of Eneland is tbe minister of a richly endowed church. True, this is so in England, biit even there the church accommodation, and the number of clergymen — iusoflScient as tbey now are — would bave been more so, were it not for tbe assistanceof the laity. And bere, it must be re- membered that the clersy of the Church of England are not the ministers of a richly endowed church. On tbe contrary tbe Cburoh of England is, in reality, as dependent upon the active co-operation of tbe laity as any other denomination whatever. I believe tbe people are preparing themselves foe the eventual withdrawal of the assistance hitherto received from the So- ciety at home, and although we may regret the necessity for increased exertions, and such a necessity is seldom pleasant, I do not see reason to fear that the eventual withdrawal will be, in its ultimate results, detri- mental to the interests of tbe Church of England in this Province. It will, I hope, be regarded, not only as a call to increased exertion, but as a proof that this exertion rviMt be made if the Church of England is to exist here ; and if it be made with hearty good will, I believe the prosperity of the eburch will be inaterially raereased in the Province. And now, gentlemen, I am assured I bave detained you too long. Tbe time that I have consumed cannot now be re-called; but I shall make>tbe best amends in my power, by at once calling upon the Secretary to read the Report His ExoelleBcy resumed bis seat umid general tokens of applause. The Rev. W. Q. Ketchum, Secretary of the Society, then read the Report. His Lordship tbe Bishop then arose to move tbe first Kesolution, to adopt the Report. I need say but little, said His Lordabip, in re- i- *v ^ ^ APPBNMX. r I *v I y s k rer«nee to the Report, os it spealci for'lself, but I eannot rerrain from congratulating the Society on tlie r/leating state of their affairtb We meet Hia Excellency here, not aimp'.y as a State Officer, but aa a gentle- roan taking a warm interest in the welfare of the Sooiety—as a gentleman born and educated in England, and attached to the Church from convic- tion, and determined to adhere to it aa long as he lived ; and each I believe is the sentiment entertained by the members of the Society. I am proud of the measure of snoeess tine Society has met with. The worthy Secretary appears to be rising to bis work; for as the Reports year after year are still better and mere encouraging, the Secretary himself seems to be more full of joy in his work, and belter fitted for it. (Applause.) Still we must increase our exertions and press forward. It would not be difficult to find employment for twenty additional Mis- aionaries, if we had the means of supporting them. The people through- out the Province were thiniy scattered over a great extent of country, in many places the setllemonte being remote from each other, and in order to preach to such numbers as would form but one modeiate congregation, the Missionary is obliged to travel from one settlemeni to another, and in many instances the duties allotted to a Missionary become too arduous for one man to perform. I should be sorry to see this SoQiety become a drag upon the Parent Socfety in England ; that Society had enough to bear without it, as the Church in forty Colonies were more or less depen- dant on it. Some of the contributors to that Society thoueht tha time was come when New Brunswick ought to support her own Clergy, and it was evident the time was coming when the assistance now afforded New Brunswick would be withheld. I only hope it may not be done too soon ; and wheu the time shall come, I hope we shall be« prepared for it, and that, by the blessing of God and our own exertions, the Cliurch in this Province will slill go on and prosper. The Report that has just been read spoke of the necessity of having travelling Missionaries, and I feel the necessity, as I have myself been a travelling Missionary for the last thirteen j'ears. I have travelled over this large Diocese five times, and many parts of it I have visited much oftencr. I will not obtrude upon the meeting the details of all these visitations : it would appear ostentatious; but I will, with your approval, read from my minutes an account of my last visitation. I hope I shall be excused for reading, as His Excellency the Chairman knows very well, that it is easier to rend a written sermon in twenty minutes than to preach one extempore in fifty. His Lordship then read the following diary: After the Ordination of Bev. C. F. Street, and of Mr. W. Oruden, of Trinity College, Toronto, on Ember Week, I left Fredericton on St. Barnabas Day, Jane 11, for St. Andrews. On Sunday, the 14th, I confirmed twenty-nine, and preached morning and evening. The Rector and Ber. T. W. Street assisted in the service. The congregations on both occasions were large and attentive. Dr. Alley, who has held the Rectory between thirty and forty years, is still able, by the blessing of Ood, to perform three fUll Bervicea on Sunday, one of them at a village three miles distant from the parish Church : a duty which very few at his advanced age could perform. Ue requires, however, the help of a curate. I noticed in this Church that the singing was much improved. I was also please . ^r> find that a prqject was on foot for a new parish Church, both more commodious and Church-like, in which I earnestly hope the good sense of the parishioners will allow the seats to be free. June 10.— I proceeded with Dr. Alley to St. Stephens, where Mr. O. Thomson Vindly received me, and on 17th confirmed 11. The number would probably have been larger, but for the intended removal of tiie Curate to Canada. It was a great satisfaction to me on this occasion to be assisted by the Right Rev. Dr. Burgess, Bishop of Maine, who very kindly preached to us, and gave us a most earnest and instructive discourse, useful alikr. to old and young— which I enjoyed exceedingly. He was accompanied by his valued b-iend and Presbyter, the Rev. G. 'V. Durell, who has been of signal benefit to this Diocese, not only incidentally by bis successful efforts at Calais, but by his discharging as much of the duty of the Curate as could possibly bo expected during Dr, Thomson's absence in Ireland. Our own clergy, Ors. Alley and Thomson, were also present. The Cbureb of St. Stephen's has jM ■^•^<^i£3i^±,-^,^'jj^_i CA:A.£>UfMltgM»-aifc.i^: APPENDIX. been grefttly improved, by tlie addition of a new cbancel, an excellent organ, a better arrangement of the pulpit and deek, a nev commnnion-table and chair, carred, I believe, by Mr. Durell'i own handi, and by being painted througbottt. The ilnging wai alio much improred. Tor many of th«ae additions to the Ohnrcb, and for much of iti life and ipirit, we are indebted to the zealoua liberality of a young layman, wboie modesty might perhaps be pained if I mentioned bis name, but whose kindnesses will not be forgotten by his blessed Master. Jcxa 19.— I proceeded to St. David's— confirmed 0, and preached. There was a large and attentive congregation, though the day was wet. This Church is a noticeable ot^ect from the road'Slde, from its substantial and handsome tower ; and its interior completeness is very satisfactory. As a whole, it is one of the best of our country churches, and reflects great credit on the seal of its pastor, Rev. J. S. Thomson. JoNB 19.— Hr. Thomson drove me to St. Patrick, distant-18 miles. It was a wet and fatiguing day. I oonflrmed 7 persons there, and preached. Mr. Carson extended to us his usual kind hospitality. It were much to be desired, when the funds of the Society admit of it, that St. Patrick should have a missionary resident nearer the church and people. The roads are bad, and access to the mission often difficult. The church is sadly out of repair, and is placed in a romantic but impracticable position, on the slope of a very steep hill, some way oiT the road. On the 20th I ^ent to Campobello, to a house where hospitality always makes a welcome, and on Sunday 31st confirmed 8, and preached twice In St. Anne's Chapel, lately built by the exertions of Hon. Captain Robinson, aided by the help of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, the Diocesan Church Society of this Province, the parishioners, and a few friends. The Rev. J. S. Williams assisted me, and accompanied me in walks to visit some sick and suffering members of the congregation, and some young and old persons. This mission has seriously felt the want of a resident clergyman; and the absence of any Episcopal services for so long a time in Maine, with the neighborhood of Eastport, a town filled with sects of many kinds, has contributed to the difficulties of the position. In these outlying places it requires a great deal of persuasion to bring people to church. However, the Missionary has two services on the Lord's Day, and an excellent Sunday-school ; he has established daily service— he has succeeded in preparing several adults for holy baptism— he has occasional services in other parts of the Island ; and the godly lives of several of his young catechumens, one or more of wkom have died in the faith, attest that his labours are not in vain. The choir in this place owes much to his constant training, as well as to the untiring attendance and influence of Mrs. Robinson. Feeling much r' flreshed by my stay In this place, I left it on Saturday the 27th in the packet, accompanied by Dr. Alley, and with some difficulty and not a few curious adventures or misadventures, we reached Rev. T. Carey's parsonage at Grand Manan after dark, very much disposed to retire to rest. Thn next day (Sunday) I confirmed 4 and baptised an adult, and preached again lu the afternoon, assisted by Dr. Alley. Mr. Oaruy, at my request, rode five miles to take bis usual service ; but all his flock had come up the same five miles to hear the Bishop, so that his labour was lost. The congregation was very attentive ; and I saw with pleasure many old familiar faces, and beard them join heartily in the prayers, and some of them still more heartily in the singing. Mr. Craig, who seems elected to be church- warden tot life, was at his post as usual. The next day I went to Seal Cove, and held services there and preached. Thence over a very rough road to Soujj^ern Head, where I baptised Mrs. M'Caughlan and three infants, and confirmed Mr. and Mrs. M'Caughlan. As they reside on Oanet Rock, eight miles from shore, and perfectly inaccessible for three- fourths of the year, my visit was timed very seasonably. I have since sent them a little preiient of books, as they have a great deal of time for reading. At Grand Manan I left behind me a letter to the Churchwardens and Vestry, urging them to do something elDsotual towards their pastor's support, which I think the islanders are able to do. Being little affected by the lumber tiade, and having a never-failing supply of fish, with a milder climate, they are evidently prospering. On Tuesday the 80th we left Mr. Carey's hospitable parsonage, and without let or binderance reached Oampobello the same evening. Oh Saturday I reached St. Cteorge, and on Sunday, July 6th, I preached, having confirmed S» in that little village— a very con- siderable number, considering that there is also a Roman Catholic, a Baptist, and 1 believe a Presbyterian congregation there. There is a good Sunday-school and an excellent day school in the place. In the afternoon we went t« Pennfijld, seven miles distant, where I # s ^ APPENDIX. s.. s. ^ conRrmcd 12. The congregation trni crowded. It la not loo much to soy of tbii mission, that I never visit It without fresh evidence of the seal and usefulness of iU pastor ; and I never leave It without being strengtliened and refreshed. It is much to be wished that the parishioners would provide Mr. M*OlTem with a eomforUble parsonage. He has great claims on their consideration, and it Is not right that the rent of the house he occupies should bo a deduction from the offerlnga of the people. On Tuesday we drove to Lepreaux, where Mr. Bedell kindly met me, and thence 18 miles (happily accompanied by a guide, for otherwise in crossing the tide-harbour we should probably have had a good wetti ng or worse), and reached Lepreaux light-house In the evening. Here Mr. Thomas hospitably received us, and the next day I confirmed 10, baptlied a child, administered the Lord's Supper, and preached in the little church at Dipper Harbour, three miles distant— Mr. Bedell assisting. After service I had a long conversation with the people on the necessity of a suitable contribution to tho Blisslonary, and they undertook to contribute £15 a year, on the understanding that they should have service on Sundays once a month, and every alternate Wednesday besides. This matter beintr arranged, we started for Musquash, where, the next day, I confirmed C, preached, and i.dmlnistered the Lord's Supper with the assistance of Mr. Bedell. The ?hurch at Musquash has been much improved since the incumbency of Mr. Bedell, and a chancel has been built. The congregation are remarkable for their sxcellen; way of responding, the two Churchwardens and their families setting them a good example in this respect. The singing is also hearty and general. Thursday and part of Friday I remained under the hospitable roof of Mr. Garbutt ; and on Saturday Mr. Bedell drove mc from St. John to Fisarlnco, where I confirmed 4 and preached, though the congregation consisted only of nine persons, including the four confirmed. This settlement furnishes one of the instances from which it appears that the Church gains little or nothing by efforts in a community almost all of whom belong to other religious persuasions. AVhen the late Missionary went among these people, almost all of whom were Presbyterians or Methodists, he supposed that having no minister of their own they would all Join the Church. But experience has proved that be was mistaken. Such efforts, in short, are more costly than successful. An occasional service Is all that can be required at Pinarinco, as the Church at Manawagonish is not very distant. Ou Sunday the l£th I confirmed 5, baptized 8 adults, one an aged man of seventy, who was baptized, confirmed, and received the Lord's Si'ppev the same day- Mr. Bedell assisting as before. The Chu. ... was well filled. Many from St. John were pre- sent. The singing was excellent. The next day, 9T persons, of whom I vis glad it see a goodly number of young men, received the rite of conflrmatlon at TriD.'/ (''hard:, St. John; and I addressed them at some length. The Rector, the Rev. F. Coster, G Armstrong, W. Armstrong, W. Scovil, Professor Hensley of Windsor, N. S., and Dr. Willia!>ison of Canada, were present, The congregation was large and v .;■ attentive, and the behaviour of the young people very devout. The contributions, I am glad to find, from thic parish have largely increased daring and in spite of the present depressed state of trade ; and a successful ofiaboot from it exists in the parish of St. Jamus, where also the contributions are considerably larger. Tuesday, 14th, 40 were conai-Mtd at Portland Church ; the Rector, Rev. C. Lee, W. Scovil, and Professor Hensley, v«c;.-e present and assisted. The same orderly and devout behaviour was apparent. In thie parish also tue contributions to the Church Society are also larger this year. On Thursday, Mr. H. Simonds, whose kli:d hospitality I was enjoying, drove me to BlacI; River, where I confirmed 8 young wo.tnen, and 10 young r n, a very unusual proportion — the Rev. J. Disbrow and Professor Hensley assisting in the service. On Friday I went up to Hampton in the steamer, and on Sunday confirmed 37 in the parish Church, and addressed a congregation so crowded that sixty or seventy persons could not find seat- room. Some money bos been collected for the Improvement of this church, for the erection of a chancel, and if unanimity can be secured, of making the seats free. Already a vei7 pretty lych-gate has been erected from the designs of Mr. Otty, and a handsome and sub- Rtantial fence. In the afternoon I proceeded to Norton, where I confirmed 18 and preached. The Rector, and Mr. Walker, and Mr. Simonds, assisted, as in the morning. The ainging was excellent ; and staying to practice with the choir, the time passed rapidly away— I did not return till eight o'clock. On Monday, 20tb, Mr. DeVeber drove me to his parscnage at Uphara. Mr. Walker itocompanied us ; and at his request I turned aside from the road APPENDIX. to visit and confirm a lilind troman, aged 84, in her •wn lioune. She appeared very devout and very thnnVfUl for my riait. On Tuesday we went to Quaco, dixtaat tvelve miles ; but from tlie oxtremely hiily nature of tlie road, one hill betng nearly three miles and another two miles long, it appeara mucli further. The mission «f Quaco fur a long time waa in a very doubtful stats, and the peoplf were very apathetic. By perseverance, however, pro- gress has been made ; the .o>uilding purolisaed from the Methodists li«« been gradually converted into something like a churcli ; it is floored and ceiled, and hws rough benches ; and I liope by niy nexi visit, please Oelp< d, 7.ith the greatest reluctance, to omit my visitation to the upper part of the country 'r CDn^squenco of the illness of Mr. Hanford. October the 34th I vigited Kingaton, w'.uthi, I l>ad been prevented from going in tb*' usual course by domestic affliction in the fu ally of Mr. Soovil. and on October 26th x confirmed in the church on the Beach (the parish church being under repair) 107 persons, being ti»e largest number ever presented to mc for confirmation in any one place in the Diocuae. 1 ura still more gratified to find tliat this conftrmatiou has added largely to flic AI'PKXDIX. cotntnutilcanli, onehuHdrevl and t/iMtfJIee, all pariibluuer*. Iiavins Rowniuiiicatcd on Ohriatmas Dajr at Kincston, when the parleh church wai re-opened for Dlriue icrvkc, having been almoik rebuilt. It ia much improved hf a central paicage, a imall chancel, and by the removal of two moat nniightly deeks ; and the whole expenee— being, I believe, more than £000— ia met without anj application for aid to the Diocesan Church Society ; though I am aflraid an undue proportion will fall on the Hector. Kingston is an instance of what Indefatigable parochial rlsittng will do to keep together a flock long united to the Church by loyal and hereditary aibctlon. May Its worthy Rector lobg be spared to us to carry on the work which his father and grandfather so happily began. On the 27th, I returned to Frederloton, having, by the blessing ofOod, traveller! 1255 mites, confirmed 890 persons, and having had f>l>undant evidence that our Church is on .'he whole at least holding her ground, layicg her foundations deeper ; and that whilst her clergy can claim no exemption flrom the Infirmities and Imperfections comr.on to their brethren, they are, as a body, striving to do their duty In the rettionfiible c^fice to which Ood has called them. All men arc not gifted alike ; and the evils of aderectivc education are In uo case more evident than in that of a clergyman ; but au earnest desire to glorify Ood, to save souls, and to be consistent in our practice, and in the discharge of our ordination vows, will for the no»t part ensure a contilderable measure of success, wherever there is not some great defiuieocy in Judgment. The Mission of our Church In titia Province, appears to me to be a most important onC( both as regards the laity and the clergy. We have to prove ourselves the worthy successors of those noble and consistent men who sacrificed all their worldly prospects to what they believed to be their duty to their king and country, and brought with them an Invariably utrong attachment to the British Constitution in Church and State. We have to prove oumelves the worthy descendants of those still nobler spirits who bequeathed to us the Seformation, whose elTorts guaranteed to us freedom from persecu- tion, from doctrinal corruption, and from the Roman yoke; and whose Judgment and sagacity, aided by the assistance of wisdom from above, designed to reject only the evil and to retain only the good. We have to prove ourselves worthy of the church which numbers amocg its members, a Ridley, a Leighton, a HooUer, a Taylor, a Pearson, a Kerr, a Wilborforce, and a How- ard, and which now counts Its clergy by hundreds and its laity by thousands, in every quarter of the globe We have to prove ourselves worthy of a church which r^olces in the circulation of the Scriptures because it acknowledges the Bible as its rule 'of faith ; which clings to the decisions of primitive antiquity as the surest bulwark against ancient and modern heresy ; which has nothing to fear but everything to hope from the progress of science and the spread of learning, and wMuh desires nothing better than that its doc- tr'i^i^i shot.' t be known, examined, and sifted. v'^e are io if rove the sincerity of these convictions by trial ; by our endurance of difii- ciil'i f, by our patient and U ' orious perseverance, by our union at this particular emer- gr;roy in the Missionary w<. .k, by our firm and united resolution, that whatever may fail, wt> vUl be true to the church and to each other, and will not under any change of circum- stances, allow our missions to bo deserted, our work and labor of love to fail, but will by the blessing of Ood, embrace aU new openings of usefulness, and trust in the grace of Uis holy spirit and in the promises of His holy word, to crown all our endeavors with success and to make our Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Uis Lordship concluded by moviag "That the Report ba received and printed under the direction of the Executive Committee." The resolution wo» seconded by the Hon. Provincial Secretary, who remarked that after the report which had been read, and the very inler- esting speech and journal of the Lord Bishop, he did not feel it neccMai y to do more than second the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. In moving the second resolution, the Rev. Dr. Gray said : — I have g^eat pleasure in moving, for the adoptbn of this meeting, a resolution which perfectly harmonizes with the spirit of the remarks to ^vhich we have Just had the satisfaction to liaten — viz. '* that gratitude to Aliuij^' " Jcaer' N I /» an we uave jusi naa lue saiisiaciion lo iiaien — viz. " mat gratitude to lighly God {or his bleesing upon this Society, and for many other un- erveo uieicics shoul-J be eliewa by each meiuber of our Oliuich, I'} s I ^ APPEMUIX. lnoreM«d z«*l fur iU maiut«Dane« and •st«Dsiou." The r«toluiioD «Muin«f Had y«ry juitly lo, that th« Divine blening bad reeled upon tbie Soeiety. It hae now gone on for twenty-one yeara, and dn'ing that time bae been ateadily advanoing in atrengtb and inflaenoe. In the laet ten year* it bae more than doubled ite incoone ; and in the paat year, tliougb war baa made ita demanda upon na and eommeree baa 'been under a oloud, and wealthy men aa well aa poor men have been emltten with a panic, ao far from yielding one iota, iU income has riaen from £1,800, to £l,fiOO ; and in this fact we baTe one palpable evidence that the bleieing of God bae reated npon it. I do not mean to asaert that tueeesg, apart from all other oonsideratioue, ia the criterion of Divine favor, or that the want of sucoesa, apart from other considerations, is an evidence of Divine displeasure. A very bad cause may have great $ueee»$ for a time, and a very good cafise may want auooess for a time. In mattera of principle, therefore, christians »re not to be governed by present results; they are to act upon principle and leave consequences to a higher Power. But, where we meet with anoeess in a cause which we know to be a riglit one, there we are fully justified in tracing it to the Divine blessing. We know that it can proceed from no other source. We are asaarod that it emanateo not merely from a|>«r* miitive, bat from » favoring, hn^ originating Providence, and that our grate- ful acknowledgmenta are due to the great Father of Lights, from whom every ^ood and every perfect gift descends. But it ia allowable, I conceive, on an occasion like the present, to look a little beyond the bounds of our own Diocese and of our own Diocesan Society, and to recognize the mercies of Qod upon our Church at large. We have indeed to thank Him, not merely for a blessing upon this Society, but for many other undeserved mercies. If any men on the face of the earth ought to be cratefnl to Oed, the members of the Oburch of England living under British rale are the men. (Applause.) With a duly consti- tuted ministry, a scriptural Liturey, and what lies at the baaia of all our other privileges, an unfettered Bible, what have we to do bat to bless God and go forward ? And, it ia uar happiness to know at the present time, that, with His blessing, we orr going forward. In the Mother Coun- try, the Church of England is wide awake; and is beginning, with great earnestaess to make provision for the spiritual wants of the masses of the people. In her colonies and dependencies, her infioenoe is every where extending, 'with a rtpiditv that leaves all former progress in the distance. Thirty-three years ago, she had only thrje Colonial Dioceses. Twenty- three years a^o, she bad only Jive. She has now thirty-Jive, that is, she has erected thirty new Dioceses in twenty-three years. And over what a vast expanse of Empire do these Dioceses extend 1 Where do they be^in, and where do they end ? It used to be said that upon the British Empire, the sun never set. We may now, with equal truth affirm, that it never sets upon the British Church. It shines upon her at the pillars of Heresies and at the gates of Hong Eong. • It sheds its feeble gleams upon the Mia- sionary Church, in the snowy regions of Baffin's Bay, and tints the Mis- sionary flag on the bleak nhores of the Falkland Isles. She has got a girdle round the Equator, and is makine her way into the hearts of all the continents ; and, notwithstanding all that has occnrred in India, I don't think that the lofty Himmalayas will stop her, however it may shock the votaries of the Mahometan Mosque or the Hindoo temple. (Applausi.) jDutu and privilege should go hand in hand. Gratitude for the mercies of God ffhould be shewn, by increased zeal for the maintenance and exten- sion of our Chuicb, and of this Society, as its handmaid in our Diocese. It requires zealous exertion to keep up any ^ood institution. It ia com- paratively easy to //eoin a good work, to organise a Society and set it going ; but to kerr it going from year to ^ear — to sustain it when the novelty is ^■>ne, nna whfln the vis inertim that cleaves tons so closely pleads for u!dulgeuc€ 'hat is tiic difficulty- We waot zeal for this. Bui DIX. eaougb. W« moat bave seil enough to tzUnd onr Suoiaty «■ well at to tneioUio it or elee we fell in our duty. It won't do, in these deys, merely to hold our own. It will not eufRoe to keep where we are. Everything •round us is moving onward. Population is inoreasiug: the facilities for reaehiog it are inoreasing : other Denominations are increasing. It will never do for our Oburcb to stand still, to come to anchor and be satisfied with not drifting to leeward. No, we must move on too, and keep pace with the age, if we wish to fulfil our mission. One remark more, I would wish to make before I sit down. We want to excite increased seal in the members of our Churcli, to maintain and extend the influence of this Sooietj^. Uow are ne to acoompliih it! Im- press tbem, says my resolution, with a sense of the mercies of God, and with the duty arising from the due appreciation of those mercies. Very true : this is one part of the process. But there is another, which is abso- lutely essential to onr success; and that is the practically convincing men, that we are doing good to the souls of mankind ; that we are briugins men to Christ, that we are "adding to Ood's Church daily, such as shall be saved." Let us work for a right end, the glory of Ood: let us work by right ttuatii, the pure Gospel of God ; and let us work in a right tpirit, the spirit of union and of simple dependance upon the grace of God ; and then, fear not for our Church : fear not for our Society ; she will lengthen her cords and strengthen her stakes and stretch forth the curtains of her habitations, until she comprehends within them a family of zealous sup- porters, large enough ana strong enough, with the blessing of God, to meet the wants of the increasing population of our Province. (Applause.) But, 0, I wish we could let in the summer breezes upon the Anniversary Meetings of the Society, instead of these wintry blasts, and then we should attain the ol^jeots we have in view, more speedily and efficiently than at pre- sent. (Applause.) The Rev. gentleman condudea by moving the Besolutioo. The Uon. Attorney General rose and said he would simply second the Resolution, and not occupy the time of the meeting by making any i*emai'k8, for the speech they bad just bad the pleasure of listening to was so elo- quent, and so powerful aad interesting, that he felt that anything he might say would rather destroy the effect than be productive of any good. Tha Resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. The Hon. John Hamilton Gray having been called upon to move the third Resolution, viz. "That the example set by our fellow Churchmen in Great Britain, in seeking to extend the Kingdom of (Jhrist in India, and other heathen Countries, should stimulate us to more self-denying efforts for its advancement in the destitute places of this Province," spoke as follows i— The Resolution had special reference to India, and I would make a remark or two on the efforts now being made by England to restore her authority in that country, which wps weakened by the revolt of the Sepoys. Our countrymen were always found foremost in the ranks, as soldiers of the Cross. The Cross was borne on the Enfflisbmen's standard, and under the Cross they fought Now why was India so prominently put forward in this Resolution t It was not a great many years ago that an English Mis- sionary lost his life in that country. I did not prepare the Resolution I hold and am about to move : it has been placed in my hands. The Reso lutions I am in the habit of drawing meet with a more fiery opposition than this was likely to meet with. But in moving this Resolution, I must beg leave to diffir from an opinion that had gone abroad as to the cause of the mutiny in India. It had been said that it waa a judgment upon England for her supinenees, in not making greater efforts for the spread of the Christian religion in India. I do not think so. Let them look through the history of the world, and they would find that when God chose to punish a nation for its sins, vengeance did not fall on a few only — it was not a few families that were left to mourn, but the nation at large. Perhaps it is presumptuous for me to say what design Providence had in view, in permitting the late massacres in India ; but the opinion I advance is in accordance with historical facts. I would refer to the host y li AIM'KNUIX. 1 • led iuto the field by Sennaclierib, when ninety thoutand were eut off ' one night— to the utter deitruotion of Babylon— and to the panlihmeb. inflieted on a sinfol world at the time of the deluee. I belieTe that the deiign of Providenoe, in permitting late eventi in India, !• to eonrert the Hindoo to Ohriitianity. England eould not be said to hold poneeaion of India until the year 176*7, when the battle of Plaeeey waa fought And what took plaee then t Wliy, immediately after that "battle waa fought, and won by the English, a prophecy went forth through the land that England would bold away one hundred years, and then her power would fail, and the Hindoo tribes regain their independence. This was eenerally belicTed. It was mixed up with their creed, and became a part of their belief. Now when the hnndred years expired the British forees in India were nerer numerically weaker ; the British soldiers had bnen witlidrawn for other serrioee. Everv thing seemed to faror the idea that the prophecy would be fulfilled, ana gave the Hindoo courage. If that propheoy had been fulfilled, there was nothina to prevent the extirpation of the Christian re- ligion in India. But Providenoe willed it otherwise. The native soldiere, both Muiselmans and Hindoos, took advantage of the weak state of the British forces in India, and deserted their colours. I will not go so far as to say that they were fully conquered, as yet, but the Christian soldiers had prevailed over them ; and wliat was likely to be the resultl The daring courasre displayed by the British soldiers during the conflict, and not only by tlie soldiers, but even by the women and children, had tausht the Hindoos their inferiority, and the fallacy of the prophecy on which they had so long relied. "What question would now be first in the mouths of the Hindoos wherever they met t Rolling down from the Himmalaya mountains, over the wide valleys of the Ganges and the Indus, down to Cape Coi-morin, and from every hill and vale, the cry would arise, " Our propLiecy is overturned; our prophet was false ; and the Ood of the Chris- tians haa triumphed over our godsl" And the answer would be returned resounding from Cape Cormorin, up to the Ganges and the Indus' mighty rivers, over the fortress of Benares, and back to the Himmalaya mountains, "Yes; the Christian's God has prevailed ; he has overcome our gods and scattered our people." I believe that this would lead to the conversion of the Hindoos, and that although many valuable lives have been lost since the struggle eomroenced, every ehristian grave would produce its converts, and the wild followers of the Crescent will yield to the more splendid glory of the Cross, and kneel at the Christian's shrine. I will only say a few words more. If England is exerting herself to spread the light of Christianity over the dancest portion of the world, ebonld not her sons, who worshipped at the same altar, exert themselves in behalf of their Church in this country f From the pleasing account of his travels read by the Lord Bishop they could see that the people were ready to receive clergymen, and to assist as far as lay in their power in erecting churches, and supporting the clergy. I refer to the parish of Canning ae an instance of what could be done in a small comma, niiy. Under these circumstanees ought we to sit down and not extn ourselves I I have alluded to the overthrow of the propheoy in Hindostan, and the question that would be eagerly asked, and answered, when twoi natives of that country met ; but when two Ghriatians meet, what ought their lamguage be, one to another i I cannot answer belter than in the language of a celebrated divine and poet: — *' Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to man benighted The light of life deny? Salvation ! O I Salvation t The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. Waft, waft, ye winds, the story, And you, ye waters, roll. Till like a sea of glory. It spread! from pole to pole." (Applause.) APPRNUIX. Th« Rflv. PhiUp W.

If the tone of our remarks at anv time, either in apeeoh or in Report* should teem to be that of aounding our own praises, or acting aa our own trumpeters, we must ask you to remembor, that one year'a experience in the ministry is enough to show sofiicient wholesome opposition, disap< pointment, and discouragement, to prevent our being "exalted above measure." If we seem to be saying, " we have done this," or "we have done that," it is simply that you may be persuaded that there is an endea- vour at least that the funda of the Society shall not be altogether aae> lessly expended. Now the Resolution refers to *' the destitute placea of this Diocese," and exhorts us to supply the need by " the example of our fellow-Ohnrohmen in Great Britain ir. seeking to extend the kingdom of Christ in India and other heathen lands." Any one comma from '* the old country," where there are old and time* honoured institutlona, where there are men and means in greater abun* dance, tnnst be prepared not to find evenrthing in a new country ready made to hia baitds ; but must be satisfied if he finds the material upoa which to work. The circumatanoes of a new country, the scattered nature of her population, the extensive district assigned to each individual oler* Srman, preaent peculiar difficulties with which we have to combat. But ere ia a maxim whioh here comes to our aid, that " whatever ia correct in principle must be succeseful in operation." If we are unable to give " the whole loaf" of the Church in every part of th^ diooese^ we eao at leaat anpply " half a loaf," and " half a loaf ia better than no bread" thereot If we are unable to open all the churebea in the diocese for Divine wor* ship on the Sunday, at least we may open aa many aa possible. If we are unable to supply tne outskirts and deatitute places of the diocese with Sunday services, at least we can give them week-day services. And here, although liable to the charge of repeating what I have mentioned in the Ropor^ I beg to bear my t -timony to the otefalness of holding week*day ae:,'vioea where the Sandn '"es cannot be held. In a back aettlement, i ote little corner of this diocese, there assemblea a congregation forty peraone once a fortnight on Wed* neaday mornings. When service was first held in thia place, two years ago, there waa only o . . ayer-book to be found among the whole of the congregation, and that was the one which the clergyman himself us CO th Pi an fr< of C( a w fu w ol a( n< <• ol tl U ri £ a tl C C ii r r I ii e f API'KNDIX. >a •t g- to il eh i oomM from th«ir Up*, and w« (rait alto . « aboald not be at all aabamad if aomt ou » )uld bappan to ba praaant daring tba Doubtlaaa tbara ara dia « aimilar taatimooy. An whiob we baTa heard fru u uied. There waa no reiponia from the p«ople, and ao the olergjnan waa eompelled to take the whole of the aarviee from beginning to end, ineluding those parte whioh belong to the people, And now, bj a mnltiplieatioo of I'rayer-books, there are many to be aeen in tbe handa of the people, and an audible and a hearty fp" no * from their hearta. So thm of tbe good people of Frt celahration of Divine aerv :n in tbta dioaaaa who eoald farniah iutereating and important aooount ivoiartlnp thia eTening, 1 forbear entering further into detail, but pats at once to the aeeond part of the Reaolution, whieb refera to "tba extension of tbe kingdom of Ghriat in India and other heathen landa." Time would fail to give anything like an adequate or a ayatematio aooount of the opaninga now preaanled in heathen oountriea ; for there ia now *'a atirring among the dry bonea" — there ia a ory from tbe men of the "Macedonia" ot India — there ia a cry from the men of the "Macedonia" of Southern Africa: "Ooma over and help us." There ia an eTidenee of the Titality of the Ohuroh of England, unparalleled by anything in former timea, in tua extension of bar colonial episoopate. Let oa bring under review some of the grand laboura of that noble body, the bench of colonial Blahopo. Ooasider the apostolio laboura of tbe Bishop of New Zealand amongst tba ialandera of tba Southern Sea. Remember tbe aubdi vision of the diocese of Oapetowu into thoaa of Capetown, Orabamstown, and Natal. Call to mind the aelf-denying laboura of the late lamented Lord Bishop of Orahamatown, who, in a tour whioh coat him hie life, establiahed miuiona in all parte of hia dioeaae, and found the Kaffir ohiefa favourable to the reception of the miuionariea; who, to use bia own worda, want "over rouf h placea and amooth, through rivera and aoroaa mountains—holding Divine aervice, aometimea under tbe ahade of a mimoaa thorn, aomatimaa in a rude thatched but, aometimea in a eourt-bouae, and aomatimaa in a comely church." Let there ba heard in thia room to-night another voice from across the same watera, from an indefatigable missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Qoi pel, in EaffirTand, who aaya— " What shall I say, or what shall I do t The mission-field seema boundleaa ; the akirta of every mountain and the banka of every river, are crowded with living aouls, without any one to point the way 1" The late lamented Biahop wrote home to the Society, atating that ba muat have £1,000 at once, and £4,000 a year for aome yeara to come, in order to meet a grant to the Church of England made by the Governor of thecolonv. Sir George Grey. And these sums the venerable Soeiety nobly guaranteed to supply ; ao that if the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel ia gradually withdrawing ita aid from thia dioeeaak I aak, "la there not a cause t" And here let us turn to India; for upoi. :>>nioat every platform, and ia almoat every apeeob, India ia now the theme.

But now to come down, in conclusion, to our own aphere of labour in the dioeeae of Fredericton. Let ua look at the ptut of the Ohnreh Society, and trace ita history down Ir- the preaent— from the time that a few sealooa men met together toeonault for the well-beins of the Ohnreh in thia dioeeae, to the preaent time, when in cathedral, and in other ohurcbea dotted all over the diooeao, there are worahipping eongregationa ; and then let ua mark the anoceaa which baa crowned ita laboura ; and then add, that it ia " not by human might, not by mortal power, but by the Spirit of the liTing Ood."

Mr. Thomson also gave notice of a motion somewhat similar. Ilia Excellency then left the Chair, which, on motion of tlie Ilnnorabla the Master of the Rolla, was taken by the Lord Bishop. It was then moved and seconded, that the most hearty thanks of the Society be given His Excellency for the kind and courteous manner in which he had pre- aided. This was carried by acclamation. Uis Lordship then, in tendering Uia Excellency the thanka of the ipeeting, expreased a wiah that he might long remain among us, that the Society might have the benefit of his kind amialance and example. His Excellency, in reply, thanked the meeting for the kindness witii which he had been received, and aaid he was always happy to contribute what little aid was in his- power towards the welfare and prosperity of the Society. This evening had been to him one of unmixed pleasure, lie was pleased with what he beard, and gratified to find that the Society was prosperiug. Let them go on and exert themselves, and if they oo- caeionally found obstacles in their path, let them remember, that where there even no difficulties to be encountered, there was very little triumph to be gained. The Doxulogy was then sung, in which all present heartily joined, and the proceedings terminated, by the Lord Bishop pronouncing the bane- diction.
