The reports on the Home Alissions and Augmentation in the Eastern Section of the Church were submitted, in printed form, by President Forrest, who dwelt at some length upon the principal features of the reports, representing in warm terms the very encouraging condition and gratifying progress of the Church in the Maritime Provinces, in her most important interests, both in the dirtmion of Gospel Truth and the moral effect of the efforts put forth in this regard, as well as in the increased liberality and satis- factory results in connection with the Scheme for securing the adequate maintenance of the brethren who " labour in Word and Doctrine."

WKSTERN SECTION. The report of the Committee on the Home Missions of the Western Section of the Church was presented in printed form by the Convener, Dr. Cochrane, who dwelt at some length on some of the main features of the report, with many specific details of an encouraging nature j mentioning the great progress made in this most important enterprise in the course of the years since it was in a comparatively fedile condition, and presenting aspects of a character fitted to stimulate the zeal and energy of the Church in an enterprise so vitally connected with the welfare, both temporal and spiritual, of the people of our country. AUGMENTATION. The report of the SubCouunittee on Augmentation of the Home Mission Committee for the Western Section, was presented in printed form by Mr. D. J. Macdonnell, who represented in earnest tetms the condition of the fund under the direction of the Coinmittee, stating the great need of increased liberality in its support, and urging upon ministers. Presbyteries and congregations the duty of putting forth more earnest and persistent efforts for giving more adequate aid to the weaker congregations for the maintenance of gospel ordinances. Dr. Warden submitted a resolution for the disposal of the reports on Home Missions and Augmentation for the Western Section of the Church, at the same time dealing at length with the character and main points of interest in connection with this department of the work of the Church. Before action was taken on Dr. Warden's motion, attention being called to certain statements on the thirty- second page of the report, after reasoning, it was agreed that the report should end at the close of the first paragraph on said page. The resolution of Dr. Warden, duly seconded, was then taken up and was unanimously adopted, with the exception of the last clause, having reference to the regulations applicable to supplements in the Province of Manitoba, reserved for consideration at a future Sederunt. The resolution as adopted is in terms follow- ing : — The General Assembly having heard the report of the Home Mission Com- mittee — Western Section — and of its Sub-Committee on Augmentation, receives the same, expresses its devout gratitude to God for the measure of success vouch- (6) [339] I- LS ACTS AND I'HOCEKDINOS OK THK SIXTKKNTII OKNKHAI, ASSKMHI,V OF safed during' the past year, cordially tluinks thn Irislj Presbyterian Church, the Free Church of Scotland, and the Church of Scotland, for their generous grants, and especially 'he Maritiiae Provinces' Section of our own Church, for their liberal and hearty response to ti * appeals of Dr. Robertson on behalf of the North- West, whereby we have been enabled to close the year without debt in the Home Mission department of the fund. While regretting the necessity laid upon the Committee of reducing the grants to the augmented congregations for the lattttr half of the year, the Assemi ly earnestly urges on Sessions and Presbyteries the duty of securing largely increasea contributions so as to enable the Committee, not only to meet the requirements of tie current year, but to make good the amount deducted for the last six months wher>^ these have not been made up from local sources, and enjoins Presbyteries to exercisi" the greatest care in considering all applications for aid so as to reduce the demands on the funds.

The ct of IVra- adopted. and duly negatived, and the questions were adopted. The remaining questions were severally adopted. The report was then, on D.otion of Mr. Stiles Fraser, adopted as a whole. The General Deliverance adopted in the afternoon, the recommendations or resolutions, and the questions for next year now adopted, are as follows : — DELIVKllANCE. This Assembly believes that the general traffic in intoxicating liquors is a source of Uirrible and enormous evils ; that it blights the prospects, destroys the health and character, and ruins the soul of the individual ; that it mars the happi- ness, wastes the n fonrces, and degrades the life of the family ; that it lowers the moral sentiment and endangers the peace and safety of society ; that it greatly increases the number cf the " lapsed classes," intensifies every evil ; that it is a most fruitful source of crioie ; that it not only hinders most seriously, and in many ways, but antagonizes the Church in her work of uplifting the race, and winning souls for Christ ; and that it is contrary to tiie teaching of Scripture, and the spirit of the Christian religion. Therefore, th(^ assembly adopts the following RESOLUTIONS, As indicating the means to be recommended to the people for meeting, and, as far as possible, overcoming it and its accompanying evils : — 1. That the faithful preaching and teaching of the Gospel is the first and essential element in the work of building up a temperate, prosperous and godly nation. 2. That the office-bearers and members of the Church be urged to practice and inculcate total abstinence as the only absolutely safe cour.^'e to be followed. 3. That recommendation IV., adopted by the last Assembly, be repeated, viz : " In view of the acknowledged fact that much of the wine of commerce is exceed- ingly impure, we would strongly urge on all the Sessions of the Church the duty of securing, as far as possible, the pure ' fruit of the vine ' for use in the Sacrament of the Supper.'' 4. That all available means be used to secure in all our Public Schools the teaching of the effect of alcohol on health and morals. 5. That the importance of " moral suasion " in promoting Temperance Reform be emphasized, and that its continued and increased use be recommended. 6. That, inasmuch as many are, through the influence of the liquor traffic, hardened to the appeals of the Gospel, and the arguments of " moral suasion," and are made indiflorent to the true interests of their fellow-men, or the welfare of their country, it is necessary, in order to protect the young, the weak, and unwary, from temptation and ruin, and to restrain th- lawless, to invoke the aid of the law, so as " to reduce, and, if possible, extinguish these evils by wise legislation. 7. That whilst the restrictive and prohibitory features of existing liquor laws are gratefully acknowledged and should bo persistently utilized, it is the conviction of this Assembly that no legislation short of prohibition, rigidly enforced by the proper civil authorities, will ever be sufficient to free our land from the terrible evii.s of intemperance, and that it is the duty of the Dominion Parliament to enact such a law. [375] mi o4 ACTS AND I'UOCKEDINOS OK THK SIXTEENTH GENERAI. ASSEMBLY OF 8. Whenas, The Assemblies of 1888 and 1889 instructed the Committee on Temperance to " take all proper measures to secure the cooperation of other Churches of the Dominion " in petitioning the Dominion Parliament in favour of Prohibition ; And whereas, The Committee of 1889 has, in obedience to these instructions, taken such measures, and is now, with the co operation of a similar Committee of the Methodist Church of Canada, engaged in carrying out these instructions ; It is therefore resolved, That this Assembly approves of the action taken, and hereby authorizes the Committee on Temperance for 1890 to continue the nego tiations thus entered into with other Churches, and, if the results warrant it, to have petitions presented to Parliament in 1891, or as soon thereafter as practicable. 9. That the Assembly gratefully recognizes the good work done by the various Temperance organizations, and a large portion of the Press, in training the young and educating the public in the principles of Total Abstinence and Prohibition, and recommends office-bearers and members of the Church to give them due sympathy, encouragement and support.

Mr. Thomas Sedgwick, seconded by Dr. McDonald, moved as follows ; — Whereas this clause contains or implies an attack on a fundamental provision of the consti- tution — which attacks the Church should be slow to engage in unless compelled to do so, and all the more as the people of the country, and more especially the members and adherents of the Church have given no evidence that they are dissatis- fied with said constitution — the said clause be not adopted.

The Assembly sailed for \.\\r. w^ovi of ilie Committee on Christian Union- The report was submitted by Dr. Caven, the Convener, giving brief recitals of their attitude toward the Churches with which they had had conference. Dr. Caven, seconded by Dr. Burns, then moved the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: — The (isneral Assembly receive^: th; roport of the Committee on Christian Union, and approves of the course adopted by the Com- mittee in submitting the resolution of the Provincial Synod of the Church of England to the Assembly before seeking farther conference with the committees of the other negotiating Churches. The Assembly calls attention to the facts that its Coaimittee on Union was lirst appointed when the following resolution, adopted by the Provincia; Synod of the Church of England was communicated with : — "That a Cjmmittee of this House be appointed to confer with any similar Committees appointed to represent other Christian Bodies, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there is any possibility of honourable union with such Bodies " ; and, also, that at a conference held in April of last year, between its Committee and similar Committees of the Anglican and Methodist Bodies, an earnest desire for closer relations than hitherto existed waa manifested, and a frank interchange of views took place. The Assembly expresses its earnest desire for the more perfect fellowship of all who hold the Head, even Christ ; so that as there is and must be essential unity in the Redeemer's mystical body, there may be the more complete manifestiition of that unity, and the Church, freed from the distractions of division, may be tii-i better prepared for the great work which her Lord has appointed her to do in this world. [3811 i)() ACTS AND PROCKEDINOS OF TFIK SIXTKENTH GENERAL ASSKMP.LY OF The Assembly re-appoints the Coniinittoe on Union, with the addition of the names of Mr. George Bruce and Mr. D. J. Macdonnell, with instruction to hold itself in readiness to meet with any similar Committees which have been appointed, or nmy be appointed, by the other Churches, and to report to next Assembly. With reference to the preliminary Basis of Union embodied in the Lambeth lloolutions, to which the Committte directs the attention of the Assembly, it is nf^ccnsary to distinguish between a basis on which negotiations looking towards Union may properly begin, and an adequate basis such as may finally be adopted ; and in re appointing its Committee the General Assembly deems it well to say that the Nicene Creed, while adhered to by the Church Universal, cannot well be regarded as the sufficient statement of the Christian Faith, while the Historical Episcopate is accepted by us in harmony with the teachings of the New Testa- niont regarding the officebearers (or officers) of the Christian Church. •Should conference with the Committees of the nego'-^ting Churches make it manifest that incorporate Union cannot at present be attained, :ho General Assembly authorizes its Committee to consider the question of establishing " such relations " with the other Churclu s " as mr,y prepare the way for fuller organized unity here- after," as suggested by tlio Lambeth Eesolutions. The General AsFru\bly prays that the Divine blessing may rest upon all holy andcavours to bring the disciples of Christ more . i ;■ 'y together in the unity of the ■ Fdith. UNIOX COMMITTEE.

APPENDIX 'No. 1. REPORT OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA (WESTERN SECTION}, FOR 1889-90. The Home Mission Committee present their Annual lieport to the General Assembly with thankful acknowletl^'ment of the goodness of (lodin the success that has attended the labours of their missionaries in the vast Held committed to their care. Some promising young men have been laid aside temporarily and others removi^l by death, but taking the large number of our missionaries into account th^se cases have Iwen few. The financial statements submitted show that the Home Mission Fund closes the year with a small balance in hand amounting to •Sl,70i)..S2, while the Augmentation ?'und shows a deficit of !$65H.07, in spite of the reduction of grants that was made in March. Had the grants been [laid in full the deficit would have been •'?;{, 7 1 <>. 32. !^ut for the handsome contributions received this year from the Maritime Provinces, grants fnmi the British churches, and bequests, the Home Missicm Fund would have had a consideralile deficit also, as the ordinary contributions from congregations are still far from adwjuate to meet the increasing expenditure. In the Heport now presented it will be observed that the arrangement differs from former years. The two branches of our work — H'lme Missions and Augmentation- have been kept ther matters of interest that have engaged the attention of the Committee during the year The appendix pre- sents complete and carefully i>ropared statistics of all the Mission Stations and .'LUgmented Congre- gations under the care of the Committee, with the names of the missionaries, probationers and student catechists now employed, H O M E MISSION S, R E P O 1! T S FROM P R E S B Y T E . S. i'Rk.shytkky ok ijukbko. Home Mission work in the Presbytery of <.iuel)ec has to face many discouraging influences. The small number of families comprising our Mission group, and the tendency in many instances to become smaller, makes it ditKcuIt to l)uild up self-supporting congregatiims. Yet, notwithstamling all the odds against us, the past year, in many respects, has been very encouraging. Our own people, in every instance, have appreciated the services of their missionaries, and feel grateful for the blessing of the preached Word and ( Jospel ordinances. Valcartier has now the services of an ordained missionary, Rev. J. M. VVhitelaw, who laboured faithfully in this field as student mission- ary for several years. This field has made good progress during the year. iMetis reports little change, but w holding its own and doing good work. The missiimary in charge, Rev. J. M. Carter, 4\ IV. Appendix No. 1. ■i ; it II in zealous in the discharge of his duties, and the Mission is in a good healthy condition, 'flie Kennebec Koad Mission continues to do good work in giving the Gospel to a people, who, but for nir efforts, would be kept aluiortt in darkness. At Portneuf the Presbytery h^: taken under its care a x.[:i;don full of promise. This new iield was worked last year by the students of Morrin College, Quebec. The Sawyerville group of Mission stations is making progress. The people have decided to build a church at Sawyerville, the chief place in the Mission, ifassawippiand llichby madeencourg- ing progress last summer under a student missionary, but had only a few weeks' supply at Cliristmivs and New Year. At the earnest solicitation of the field an ordained missionary has been appointed for two years. At Luke Megantic (Agnes), a new church is to be erected this sumuier. il'ome Mission work in the Presbytery will for many years need to be assisted, but nowhere can money be more wisely spent than in helping those in (Juebec, who are so willing to help themselves according to their ability. Every Mission of our church is a light, it may be a feeble light, but still a light. May our rich members feel it to be a privilege and a duty to keep the light liurning in the Home Missions of the Presbytery of Quebec. PUKSUYTEltV Ol- MONTliKAL. There are few changes to note in the Home Mission field of the Presbytery. One of the stations in the ArunJul group has been united to Avoca and Maskinonge, thus strengthening this field and putting it in the way, it is hoped, of soon becoming a settled charge. Tlie Rev. •> F. McCusker, who graduated this spring at the Presbyterian College, Montreal, has been appointed ordained missionary for two years at Mille Isles and has entered upon his work. In addition to the mission fields reported services are conducted in several of the suburban municitialities in the vicinity of Montreal. At Mount Royal Vale a union Episcopal and Presbyterian service is hold every Sabbath afternoon, supplied by the Presbytery on alternate Siibbaths. At Petite Cote a sorvii'e is held every Sabbath evening and Sabbath school in the nfternoon in a mission building belonjfv'v to the Presbyterian community. At Maissonneuve, at l'\)rt'ar straet, and at Nazareth stivet Saj'u'.vt'i schools, and Sabbath services are conducted under the auspices, respectively, of Erskiii*5, St. Fr.n's' and Crescent street churches, without expense to the Assembly's Home Mission ;und. At ^t. Henri a Sabbath school was about a year ago established by the Session of Cili in Cliurnh and steps are at present being taken to open a mission school in Cote St. Louis.

This transference was made desiiable oi. a: .mni. of the closer "onnectioi with Ottawa by railway. The number of mission Helds now within the bounds is tv.'elve. Some of these have been KK.NKUKW. During the year some changes have taken place in our mission fields. Owing to an alteration lied all last winter by Mr. Madill (student). During the same period (Queen's College Missionary Association sent students to the following stations :-- Sharbot L.ake District, Wilbur, etc., Matawatchan, Wolfe Island, Portsmouth, Ernestown and Fredericks- Iwrgh, Sidney, Cirlow and Mayo, Thanet ,and tlu> Ridge, St. Amf ble, etc., and Maynooth. It i? gratifying to l)e able to report that a great number of mission stations received continuous supply during winter than over before in the histrosperous as to demand the whole time of the pastor, Mr. Grant. Fairbank and Fisherville were united into one mission. field. Four of the ndssions in the city, St. John's, St. Enoch's, St. Mark's and St. Paul's, became settled charges, ami only one of these, St. Paul's, receives aid from the Augnjentation Fund. The remaining three are aided by St. Andrew'.-', Old .St. Andrew's and St. James' Square. In jMimico a new church is being erected. Ko special changes have taken place in the other fields. In each work is being pushed vigor- ously forward. Ilglington and Bethesda are now under the care of Mr. Hamilton, and his work is most encour- aging. An early settlement is in prospect. A mission has just been op .led on Bathurst Street, north of the city limits. By the munificent gift of a friend of missions, a fine lot has been secured, with a building, which can be used for Sabbath School ;wid Church purposes. This work will be under the care of Bloor Street Church. PHESBYTKUY OK OHAN(iF.VII.I,K. Our three fields are Knox Church, Caledon, Waldemar and Vanatter, Laurel anci Black's Corners, Corbettou. Kiverview and Gaudier. They have in. '•'. good progress in the past year, and the last two mentioned 'ave l)een placed on the list of Augmented Congregations, and require the services of active, eneri,'otic men. Waulemar, and its connections, are expected to form a self-sup- porting congregation in the no very distant future. PUKSbYTKKV OK H.\KKIK. No satisfactory acinunt can be given of the year's work performed by the cat'jhists, students and ordained missionaries— over thirty in number- under the direction of thi.4 Presbytery. Space has its bounds, and were it li't So the reports of these labourers do little more than show that the Sabbath services have been regularly held, antl that the visiting of families has been attended to. The missionaries mo<'.estly refrain from incidents and residts of their labour. Iscir do they coiiiiilain, although tlieir duties generally exact wearisome exertion. Most of them have three, four, or more, stations to suiiply, with l"'5g distances apart to bo traversed on foot.

In itresenting this report tor the half year nearing to a close I desire to express deep gratitude to the Giver of all good for mercies enjoyed during thci u months. Owing to a variety of causes this season has been a very trying one in ntanj respects to our work. The financial depression which has been generally felt throiigiiout the country is likely to be most seriously felt where there is usually least money in finulation, and such has been the ca.^e in a- very ' i i 1 degree in many parts of the fi^-ld. It liiis idso been p season of wiilespre:id sickness, which hii I'-i jted the work and the workers not a little. Xotwithstandiiig these serious drawliacks we are able to report progress in many departments of tlie work. Fifteen missionaries have been employed and seventeen fields occupied fully. Two fields have been jiartially supplied. For lack of suitable men and from a desire not to incur exiicnse which they miglil not be able to meet, some of the fields were left witiioiit supply. On the whole, however, (piite as full supply !ias been given this year a^ on ])revio\is years. The work of visiting the fields w.is ooiiinienced eaily in October, and has been kept up till nearly every statioti (tn the field has been viviled. Some have indeed been visited twice during the year for the dispensation of ordinances, and iii this vvor,rC I have received valuable assistance from Mr. tiood- willie, of North Bay, and Mr. Hobertson, of Sundridge, Iioth of whiin. in the exercise of a true missiona;;' spirit I have ever found ready to assi.st wiienever theii- services were reijiiired. Since Mr. li -iftith's entrance upon the work at Suilbury the progress of the work has been very encouraging. The ;;:iuring the current six months a church s>.t|ii;iently large to meet the present needs of the congregation has been opened nearly free from debt. The various congregational interests : attendance at service, Sabbath school, prayer meetings, etc., ar' all reported very nauh improved, and the interest still growing. \\'ith the increase in ;iopulatior at the ndnes five of which are expected to l;e operated this jeason within a radius of ti\i' ndle- of (■'(uibory increased ser\ ice must be given to (Aertake the work in these outlying points. The field lying between Sudbury and Sturgeon Falls, with 'Veuve Kiver, as its chief point, is too extensive til be Worked to advaiita„'e w.tli Sturgeon Falls as formerly. Othei points are being dis- covered, as Wajinaiiitai', Monkstay and X'evner stations on the C. P. 11., where there are Presbyterian f:iniilies desiring ordinances. 1 liave recommended the division of this field, and have taken the liberty of asking the Students' .Society of Knox College to take charge of the west end, i.i., Ve\ive Kiver, etc., for this season. Sturgeon Falls and Cache Pay remaning as formerly under the I'res- bytery. I am glad to report that the Society accejjted charge of the field, and ajipointed a mission- ary for four months. Mr. (loodwillie, at Nortli I'uy, rejiorts the interest in the work well sustained so far as attendance at pulilie worship and the S.ibl)atli school is concerned. A considerable increase in the number of families will be reported this year, the result of faithful pastoral oversight. .\ movement Is on foot to clear off the balance of debt on thechurcii iiroperty : »e trust tliistime tlie effort will be Vlll.

With this wiped out they would the)i be in a position to take their stand as a settled congregation, very much to their own benefit and that of the work at large. Callander has been supported since January l«t by Mr. J. D. Smith ; Powassan, by Mr. W. Smith ; South River, by Mr. Jas. Geddes ; Loring, by Mr. T. Harrison ; Uunchurch, by Mr. M. McGillivray. As Mr. Gilmour, appointed to the Maganatewan field, did not accept the appoint- ment this field has remained without supply from the Presbytery exceiit for threo Sabbaths by a student during the holidays. This disappointment has not proved an unmi.xcd evil, as it has led to the developuient of local talent, some of the members exercising their gifts to the .satisfaction of the congregation, the attemlance being reported (|uito eipial to former years. At Sundridge, Mr. J. S. Robertson has Imen striving to carry the work forward a stage, and by dint of hard work and perseverance has succeeded. Mr. Robertson reports :—" Thd work is hope- ful and encouraging in all the bounds. Oh, for strength to labour on, to spend and Ije spent, with joy ' he Master's will." A subscription list from the field, taken since Mr. Robartson went there, shows an advance of about SiO in the promises of tin i)eople, which I think will e isily bo excuedeil during the year. On the 15urk's Kails field I am glad to report that a large portion, if not all tli-? arrears reported in September have been wiped off. A strong desire has l)een expressed by the fields for the ser- vice of an ordnained missionary, but whether they are now ready does not yet appear, as certain p.ipers necessary to the advamiement, and which were expected eVe this time, have not yet arrived. A change in the workiny: of this fielil was made during the season, which it is to l)e hoped will l)e of advantage, viz., the giving of s('rvice at Pickerel L ike every third Sabbath instead of at Berriedale ! sibility of supply. For this reason I sh.all not be surprised if the amount of arrears reported i^ ncit greoter than usual for the past six months.

The Mifsion ftations in the Presbytery are Kden Mills, whicli is, as it has been for years, under the oversight of the Itev Mr. Strncban, of Ivoikwood, and may almost be considered a:i part of his pastoral cliarge. It has lately erected a neat stone church, and is well jirovided with drivins; sheds. The people are enterprising and liberal. /.Ymmr has lieen for some time snp])lied iiy the l{ev.

Knox Church, Uracon and Metz, wore organized a few years ago. 'Phe former has a fine brick church, the latter has no place (if worship of its own, but Feivice is held !in a hall. Supply is obtain';d from Knox College during the winter months, and a Missionary is stationed iimong them in summer. These stations are self-supporting. PRKHIUTKHV OK ll.\MII.TON. At the close of the Church year, only one station is receiving aid from the fund, viz.. Fort Krie. Quiet prxuri'ess is being made in this field, but owing to the frequont changes which take place in the [Mipidation, no decided aiivance is to be noted. Stations have been organized at Windham ( 'entre and Water. ^lrd, and at present are worked with Delhi. The i>rogres8 made in these new fields is vcy marked, and the outlook is very bright. The field if self-sustaining. liiirin)! is at pre.-ient supplied in connection with a Mission in Hamilton, imder the care of McNab .St. Session.

PRESBYTKUV OK I,ONI)ON. We have no regular Mission stations within the bounrls ju.st now, but preaching will be com- menced this summer, in East .St. Thomas, under the auspices of Knox Church there. Similarly, preaching will be carried on in a Sabbath school house, a few miles from tho)Xorth Westnnnster Ohurch. a School house which was for the most iiart erected by the Westminster congregation. Mr. Sawors has a student assisting him this summer. These Missions will be supiiorted wholly by the respe'itive i)arent congregations, thus sotting an example of Home Missionary enterprise that might be more generally followed by stronger congregations than it is.

There in not as a rule, much change perceptible in any one year, but if a term of years, say five or ten, be taken into con- sideration, their growth is oiiite apparent. Buxton is under^oinK a peculiar change. The colored people are yrailuuUy disappeariut,' and white people are taking their place. This is because the former are returnint,' to the United t?' -vtes, whence they came, and because the latter are purchasin' and settling on their farms. I'KKMHVTKUY OK .-lARNlA. In this Presbytery there art four Mission field;*. These fields embrace nine i lenchiiig Ktations, With the exception of one field full supiily was given last winter. One churcli building was erected. The Mission fields as a whole are making satisfactory progress. Two of the Mission htldt of this Presbytery are situated in newly opened up territory that is fast developing, and will in the course of a short time become regular congregations. PUESUYTKUY OK HULCK. Our Mission in the District of Algonia is becoming every year more'important and encouraging. The several groups of stations, with few exceptions, can now be reached at any time throughout the year. The Sault Ste. Marie Branch of the Canadian Pacific Hallway, running through the entire length from east to west, give this field all the facilities of the older parts of Ontario., ami when its agricultural and mineral resources will be fully developed it will be one of the richest sections of the Dominion. Our church work .is progressing steadily in the ditferent localities, and the outlook cheering. The Sault Ste. Marie Mission has had for many years a Home Mission grant of four hinidred dol- lars annually. This grant was reduced last year to three hundred dollars, and this year to one hun- dred dollars, with every prospect that this small outside help will not be needed long. The Home Mission Committee was directed by the people themselves to make the above reductions. This Mission church has now been raised to the status of a vacant congregation, and are taking steps to call a pastor. The Presbytery is much gratified at this forward movement, and regard it as the first effective measure to the formation of a Presbytery for this District. It is to be hoped that Thessalon, (iore Bay, Little Current and other groups will follow this example. So far as the number of families in connection wiih us indicate strength there is no reas(m why they should not. The Pres- bytery of Bruce believes that the time is near, if not already come, when this part of our country shoidd have a Presbytery of its own, and that this is the best way to attend to the spiritual nei d- ties of our people there. Such a Presbytery could as easily meet, in some central place three times, if not four, in the year, as the majority of our Presbyteries elsewhere. Algoma District has felt the presence of hard times as much as other places, and for some time yet our people will need the nurturing care of the Church, yet we are satisfied before many years most of the groups will be self- sustaining. .Several new churches have been built during the year. A full supply of labourers are in the field, and we expect that if the season will at all be favourable every part of this wide Mis- sion will give a good account of itself at the end of the summer. THK ALGOMA UISTKICT. Mr, Findlai/'s Report. In presenting this report for the current half year, I desire to do so with expressions of devout thankfulness to the Giver of all good for blessings enjoyed in connection with the work. While it has been a season peculiar fot circumstances of a discouraging character, yet we have enjoyed so much of the Divine Presence as to be encouraged to go on trusting in the wisdom and love of Him who has given the pronuse :— " Lo ! I am with you always, even to the end of the world." Owing to a variety of causes the season has been in many respects a very trying one to our work. Finan- cial depression which has been general throughout the land is likely to be felt most severely where there is least money in circulation, and such has been the casein many parts of the field. Lum- bering, which is the chief source of livelihood in the larger part of the field, has not been carried on in some parts, at least, on so large a scale as in former years, while wages in the camps and the prices for settlers' produce are much below the average. Sickness to a greater extent than usual has also been prevalent in this jiart of the country, which has generally been noted for its healthful- ness. This has not only decreased the attendance at services, but has also laid aside, in some cases, our missionaries for a longer or shorter period. But notwithstanding these serious hindrances we are able to report the work as keeping up .satisfactorily if not progressing rapidly. Afi'Kndix No. 1. XI. In Alfjonm twelve fleltlH have been nccuitied (Itiriiiff the term, ull of theui fully, except AIk'oihu MIIIh and Little Current, Mr. McLtaiiian reuchiiiK the former ut the end of tlie year, and Mr. Wullace, the latter at the fnd of ilanuury. Of the twelve laliourerti, Hevon are ordained miHHionarien and five catechixtH. In Muskoka, twenty KtldH have heeii occupied liy nixteen men — three of theHe lieing ordained niiHxionarieH and thirteen catechintH, ThiH liifuiiH, of coiuHe, that in Home caHes the iiiiHaioiiary [occupied a double field or (,'ave partial wervice to two fields. Thin, though posnil)ly not the heHt arrangement either for the men or the heldN, is in Komo caueH the oidy one liy which it itt puu^ible to give service. Some fields have been left without HU|iply at their own recjuest, as in the circuni'-.tances in which they iind themselves this year, to have the supply would mean to tinil them- selvtM in debt at the close of the term. On the whole, however, (piite as full a supply as usual han been given to the field in Muskoka, and in Algonia u larger measure than in any previous winter. There is not much of special interest to note in connection with the Muskoka field. One other point, however, may l)e of interest. The wisdom of the appointment of Mr. (Jriihth to Sudbury is seen in the rapid development of the work in that locality. In order to carry out the work with greater 8U:;cesH, and to give partial supply to the many points in the immediate neighborhood of Sudbury, Mr. CiritHth feels the need of having an assistant for the summer months at least, ii not perma- nently. He reports that there are at least two thousand people within the scope of this Mission field outside the.village of Sudbury. Four or hve mines, perhaps more, within a radius of five miles of ?udbury will be in operation this summer. From these points a promise of i!'21.'i for Missicjnary SI pply for the Slimmer months is made. " It should be borne in mind," Mr. (iiitlith adds, " tl.at thi! jieoplo who come to service are those, many of them, who do not make promises of sui>port in advance, Init who give well and willingly as long ub they have anything to give.'' As it will require $12 per week to meet expenses the Presbytery have asked for a grant of S2 jier week, wiiich, in the 'ight of the above statement, may not be needed, but which, I trust, may in the meantime be gianted as an 'encouragement to those who are desirous of extending the work in this important locality. Just east of Sudbury we have another new field which may prove to be a very imjjortant one in the near future. Veuve River was organized last year in connection with Sturgeon Falls. But as the lumbering industry is being developed along the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, mills being built at the various stations in this section, it is found that this field is too large and the number of stations too many to be attended to by one Missionary. From Sturgeon to Sudbury being 5U miles, a new field has been erected with Veuve Kiver, as its centre, to be taken charge of this season by the Students' Society of Knox College. At North Bay, Mr. Goodwillie still continues his work amidst the discouragements of frequent changes in population. He hopes in the near future to have the debt on the church property wiped off, when the congragation will be able to take a step in the direction of self-support. Maganate- wan, the appointment to which was declined in October last, has been practically vacant since, the Presbytery beiugjable to give supply for three weeks only during the Christmas holidays, thou;{h the service. has been kept up pretty regularly by the people themselves, and with very encouraging results. It is to be hoped that this important field will soon enjoy the services of an Ordained Missionary. A younu' man phynically.able for the work is desired by them, otherwise they prefi a student for the summer months. Parry Soiuul, too, has been somewhat unfortunate in the matter of supply. Owing to the distance from the hue of rail, it is not easy to find supply during the winter months unless by one remaining perniant;?tly on the held for^the wiiiter. By the appointment of Mr. Duncan it, is, hoped all further ditticulty in the matter will be avoided, and that in the enjoyment of hi.^ services the people will soon forget the disappointments of the past. The field at Sundridge, under Mr. J. L. Robertson, makes advancement by degrees. Mr. Robertson, being the first Ordainetl Missionary on this field, finds a good many things to be put in order. The progress at first is necessarily slow, but with the enthu>iasm and perseverance which Mr. Robertson throws into his work, encouraging results will ere long be attained. All the fielils receiving supply were visited during the half-year, as well as many of those not supplied, when ordinances were dispensed and Missionary meetings held as often as opportunity presented itself. By this means an interest in the work of the Church is kept up which manifests itself practically in the liberal contributions of our people in these stations to the Schemes of tli. Church, especially that one for Home Mission Fund, which renders it ix)8sible for them to enjoy ordinances. In some cases where arrears for past services have been incurred — notwithstanding the scarcity of means— successful efforts have been put forth to wipe them off. This has been con- fessedly a hard year among our people, but this has not to any extent been put forth as a reason for their not doing their duty, either to themselves or for the benefit of others.

MuLennan I made a hurried visit to his field, Al^^oiua Mills, etc., in the beginning of this month. During the few days I was able to be with him, we held missionary meetings in all his stations, in which we were assisted by the llev. D. H. McLennan of Thessalon. This gave an opportunity for conference with our people on this field, the outcome of which was that a strong desire was expressed at all the stations for service every Sabbath during the summer months. Ah these are the busy months at the Mills, the reason for this can easily be seen. To comply with their request would require the appointment of a Student to assist Mr. McLennan. I asked them to give an idea of how much would be raised on tlie field, in addition to the amount) already promised, in order to secure this additional service. Meetings were to have been held after I left, but I have, as yet, received no final report from them. The financial depression is felt most severely, perhaps, in Algoma, fur, although the crops there last year were comparatively good, yet the complaint is that there is no market for produce, and this serious drawback has changed many plans in connection with the work of the Church, as well as other connections. Still we can report progress in seme directions. At the Sault the congrega- tion has asked to be recognized as a Supplemented congregation requiring a small grant which, it is hoped, will not require to be long continued. On St, Joseph's Island, under Mr. Ferguson, according to report, the cause is flourishing, and a request made for his continuance on the field. Mr. Jansen, at Gore Bay, is working away on his large field, hopeful, notwithstanding the many difficulties he has to contend with. His field will be lighter in the future a-t two of his sta- tions, Ragawong and Billings, have bsen disjoined from Gore Bay to form part of a new field, under the Students' Societ;y. This leaves him still with five stations, which are, perhaps, as many as one man can do justice to. It is to be hoped that Mr. Jansen will be re-appointed, as his leaving the field now will cause a good deal of his work in the past to go for nothing. The propriety of forming a Presbytery in Algoma is being freely discussed, both by Missionaries and also by the people on that part of the field. Whether the time has not come for such a step to be taken remains to be seen ; yet, as the idea is taking shape in the minds of many connected with the field, I havj thought it bxit right to put the Committee in possession of the fact. With regard to the working of the whole field, I would suggest a slight alteration. It is understood that I give four months, consecutively, to the work in Algoma, i.e., from June to September, both months included. With the railv/ay alon? the North Shore, and with winter supply on the field, it is quite iis easy to visit that portion in the winter as in the summer. On the other hand, there are stations in Muskoka which have supply only during the summer months. It is too early after the Mission- ary's arrival on the field to visit them before June, and by the end of September the Missionary is gone, the service has been given up for the season and, as a consequence, there are a few fields which I do not see at all. With the consent of the Committee I would like so to arrange the work that I might visit these points in Muskoka at a suitable time, leaving such portions of Algoma as can be conveniently visited later in the year. * During this winter a more successful effort than ever has been made by our ^tfissionaries to reach the lumber camps scattered throughout these districts. In this work they have been greatly assisted through the kindness of the Lumberman's Mission, Ottawa, who, through their Convener, Dr. Armstrong, supplied, gratuitously, a large quantity of literature suitable for distribution among the men in the camps. Those engaged in the work, both in Parry Sound and Algoma, report that they were kindly received by the men, and their efforts for their welfare gratefully acknowledged. This year the arrangements were not fully completed in time for carrying on the work. We hope by another year to be better prepared for this important branch of the work. Meantime thanks are due to Dr. Armstrong and the Committee of which he is Convener, for their readiness to assist in the work. I am glad to be able to report the finances in a healthy condition, notwithstanding the adverse circumstances by which the work has been surrounded. During the year the sum of $1,044.89 has been collected on the field, being an advance on any previous year. The mileage during the last half-year is 3,698, $147.92, all which is respectfully submitted. Report op the Home Mission Wobk in the Presbyteries or Winnipeg, Rock Lake, Brandon, MiNNEnosA, Rboina and Camart, kor the Year 1889-1890. ( Tramnnitlcd hy Dr. RoherUon. ) As the Home Mission report is apt to be read by many who know little of the Western Terri- tories of Canada, and as a large part (forty per cent.) of the Home Mission work of the Western Section lies west of Lake Superior, it may be well to give a brief sketch of the country and its Appendix N»). 1. Xlll. resources. It is the deliberate opinion of competent authorities that this country is yet to be the home of a large population ; it is therefore of great* importance that the foundations of society should be laid in the principles of God's Word. N0R1H-WK8TKKN ONTAKIO— TIMBER. That part of the country lying between Lake Superior and the prairie is chiefly valuable for its timber and minerals. There are extensive tracts of good farming land along the Rainy River, and at other points, which, when rendered accessible by railways and cleared of timber, will support a considerable population ; but yet mining, manufacturing and lumbering, must be the chief indus- tries in North- Western Ontario. Lumbering is carried on more or less all along the line of the C. P. 11., but Kat Portage and Keswatin are the principal centres. The cut in that district this year is computed at about 80,000,000 (eighty million) feet, board measure. Fuel, ties, bridge and piling timber, in large quantities, are also shipped westward, to points on the prairie, from the extensive forests of the Whiteniouth country. MIl.KKALH. The mineral wealth consi.sts of gold and silver, iion and copper. To facilitate mining a railway is in course of construction, in a south-westerly direction, from Port Arthur to the International boundary. In the di^^trict through which it is being built, are seveial silver mines in operation, and the output has reached as high as .^'250,01)0 in one year. A company has been organized to utilize the Kakabeka Falls (e(]ual to 200,000 liorse power), to work these mines by electricity, and a town is likely to spring up at the Falls. On the island>>, and around the shores of the Lake of the Woods, gold and silver are found in considerable ((uuntities, and reduction works are now in course of erec- tion at Rat Port.age. When the precious metals are mentioned, people are apt to shrug sceptical shoulders, but yet it must be remembered that an American company took $7,000,000 worth of silver out of a small hole near Port Arthur, and th.it the rocks in which mining is now carried on belong to the same formation. The iron deposits are extensive and of good quality, an50. The agricultural and pasture lands in these is estimated at about 200,000,000 acres, (In the whole of Ontario only about 22,000,000 acres are under cultivation). No account, in those figures, !s taken of the Peace River country or the Mackenzie Basin, where there are vast tracts of land ; and so competent an authority as Consul Taylor maintains that wheat can be successfully raised beyond the latitude of 60. In the fertile belt, however, the best farming land is found between the Red River and Moose .Taw, and along the North Saskatchewan. As yet only about 1,000,000 acres have been brought under cultiva- tion, but the area is increasing every year. The soil produces all cereals, roots and veiretables foimd in temperate climates ; and because of its fertility the yield is large and the quivlity excellent. These plains will yet provide comfortable homes and abundance of food for millions. UANCHINO. Ranching Is carried on in the western part of the country, chiefly along the Rocky Mountain*', but, as yet, only on a small scale. There .are said to be 140,000 head of cattle, 10,000 horses, and 40,000 sheep, on the ranches south of Calgary. There is room for indefinite expansion. COAL. Extensive coal basins a. found all over the West, some of the seams being estimated to yield between twelve and thirteen millions of tons to the square mile. A good article of coal has been found within I.jO miles of the Red River. Coal is mixeil at several points, .vul in quality it varies from good lignite to compact anthracite, the latter being found on the eastern slopes of the Rockies. For all time to come the fuel problem of the North-West is solved. The output of the Gait mine is just now .500 tons daily, BRITISH COLUMBIA -BBS0URCK8. West of the Ui>ckies lies Rritish Columbia. In the Island of Vancouver, at the mouth of the Fraser and for soni' m Sicamons, on the C.P. Railway to O'Karogan lake, ntfording an outlet to the products of that famous valley. The building of these railways will facilitate settlement and provide the people with markets. They show the faith of statesmen and capitalists in the future of the country, and should stimulate Christian people to provide the incoming settlers with ordinancet. With markets within reach Missions tha*, have developed slowly will receive an impetus, and no doubt soon rank among self-sustaining congrega- tions. Every mile of railway is a help to the work of the Church. ORIGINS OF THE PKOPLB. The people of the West are mostly of Celtic and Saxon origin. The census of 1886 gave Manitoba 6,675 Indiana, and 7,966 Half-breeds, more than half of whom were French half-breeds. Appendix No. 1. XV. The census of 1885 gave for thnt part of the VVeHtern Territories south of the North Saskatchewan, 20,170 Indian"!, and 4,791 Half-breeds. In Manitoba the people of English origin are numerically only a few hundreds in advance of those of Scottish origin, and the Irisili are not four thousand behind the Scotch. Of course the census recognizes no one of Canadian origin. Our best settlers are the Canadians, and after them come in order the British, and those from Northern Europe. The Scandinavians and Icelanders are anxious to become Canadians. The process of assimilation is going on through the schools, daily intercourse, the press, religious teaching and the transaction of business. All classes recognize that the language of trade and intercourse is English, and they are endeavouring to get command of the English tongue. The following figures from the census show the religions of our people : Population of Manitoba in 1886 108,fi40 Presbyterians 28,406 Anglicans . 23,206 Methodists 18,048 Roman Catholics 14,(i.51 Baptists 3,296 Congregationalists '.Kt7 .Mennonites 9,112 Lutherans 3,131 Increase per cent, in 5 yearr., 74.r> " " " 104.4 " " " 611.2 " " " 98.7 " " " 2.5 4 102.3 " " 293.1 In the Western Territories 32 per cent, of the white population is Presbyterian. The fig\ires of the census establish a strong claim for the assistance of the (!hurch, and the people gratefully acknowledge the service rendered in the past. Careful attention to the wants of the settlers now will make the Church strong for all time to come, and confer an untold blessing on the country. SCHOOLS ANP COLLEGES. In the report of last year reference was iiiado to schools and colleges. Since that time a radical change has been effected In Manitoba. The dual system has been abolished and the State uiuler- takes now to maintain only one kind of schools. The Roman Catholic Church strenuouslj' opposed the ohange, but the Protestant pojiulation was almost a unit in asking for the abolition of the old law. Our population is sparse yet, and in the rural districts there are scarcely enough children to make one good school. The cost of maintaining even one school is burdensome, why maintain tw..' Moreover, the people are from different countries, speak different languages, and in many cases know but little of Canadian institutions. I'^nless the children can be easily taught the English language and the genius of English institutions, there is no likelihood of their being loyal and our becoming a united people. In the Territories the tide has set in strongly in the same direction. THE RECOBI) OF THE YEAR. In presenting a report for so wide a territory as is embraced in the Synod of Manitoba and the Northwest, it is difficult to sum up in a sentence or paragraph the result of the year's lalxnirs. At some points work is at a standstill, at a much larger number it is advancing steadily, and at very few points indeed is it declining. No field has been abandoned, and some in which work was suspended for a season are again occupied, and with brighter prospects than ever. The Church must be willing to show by her work that she believes in the doctrine of " perseverance "; and of the issue there need be no fear. Already very much has been done in the interests of morals and religion, and the seed sown is beginning to bring forth blessed fruit. There has been a decided gain during the year 1889-90, although certain losses were sustained by the removal of settlers from certain sections. CROP, 1889. Our missions are planted for the most past among a people largely engaged in agriculture. The settlements are new and people have no accumulated capital ; the crop of last seascm was short ; we did not export half the wheat we did in 1887, and the prices ruled low ; ministerial support and church building felt the pinch. The seed, however, has never been placed in the ground under more favourable condition than this spring. It was well covered and the rainfall was abundant. The acreage is the largest ever sown. We are consequently hopeful. p I, XVI. Appendix No. 1. IMMIUKATIO^.. The iniiiiiKratiun uf last season was the largest for some years, and the people settled mostly In districts previously occupied. The sales of lands by railways and land companies were large and the homesteading much in advance of previous years. The immigration of this spring so far behind the record of last year, but the increased activity of the Dominion Government in immigra- tion will no doubt increase the influx before the season ia over. More than 17,000 are said to have found a home here last year. The new comers are from every country in Europe, and their religious well-being should be the care of all the churches. GAINS, MIH»I0N8, MI88IONAKIEU. During the past year twenty Mission fields were occupied in the Presbytery of Winnipeg, l;i in Kock Lake, 13 in Brandon, 14 in Minnedosa, 23 in Regina, and 12 in Calgary, or 95 in all. Of these, two in the Presbytery of Winnipeg have become congregations, one in Rock Lake, one in Brandon, two in Regina, and one in Calgary, or seven in all. Taking (ccount of Rarburn in Win- nipeg Presbyter;', Penrith, in Brandon, Bellvie»v, in Brandon, and South Antler, in Rock Lake, that demand organization and supply this year, although not before the Home Mission Committee, in spring there will be 104 fields supplied by 38 ordained ministers, 11 catechists and .55 students, fur the year 1890-91. Connected with these fields are 403 stations, a gain of 25 on last year. The churches owned by these Missions number 87 and the manses 9. The aggregate attendance for the year was 12,087 ; the communicants number 3,890, and the families 3,674. The supply for the year amounted to 3,783 Sabbaths, or over 67^ years. Adding the supply given to augmented congrega- tions and self-sufctaining congregations the total would be about 112^ years, or seven years more than the figures of the previous year. In communicants there is a gain of 662, and of fan^Uies, 359. EiKhteen new clmrches were built, one enlarged, and one moved, renovated and titted up at a cost of $1,000. Two manses were built.

As a good deal of money is spent by the Church in maintaining and advancmg Mission work, it is but right that the growth for longer periods than one year should be shown. For this purpose the whole work must come into the computation. The returns from missions and augmented congrega- tions for the year are tolerably complete, and they show (combined) a gain in communicants of 860, even although the figures of the congregations that became self-sustaining during the year are omitted. Returns, however, are not received by the Synods' H.M.C. from self-sustaining congrega- tions, and hence the figures returned to the Synod's Committee on Statistics must be used. These are not complete, and hence the totals in this calculation are considerably under the actual strength of the Church. In the six Presbyteries under consideration, according to the returns made to the Statistical Committee, 1,630 persona became connected with the Church last year, of whom 839 were on profession of faith. There were 527 removals, giving a net gain of 1,123, or over 18 per cent. If the totals for the years 1889-90, as they appear in the Assembly returns, are compared the gain will amount to 25 per cent. The lower figure, however, is nearer the mark, and still shows a healthy state. The following are the figures for the years 1884 and 1890 ; Ari'ENDix No. 1. zvu.

The families increased 82 per cent, ami communicants 120 per cent. ; the Chiirches nearly trebled, and the Manses more than doubled. This has been a gratifying increase in the number of Mission, aries, but it will be observed that they are largely of the class that labour only for the summer. The missionaries and labourers of all classes increased 133 per cent., and ordained men only 44 per cent,, or one-third the total number Low priced labour is neither the cheapest nor the most efficient. (iAINS IN NINETEKN YKARS. It is now nineteen years since the Presbytery of Manitoba was formed, and it may be well to compare our present state with our position then as a Church. Relative to the other Protestant denominations we stood third. Winnipeg then had a population of 421, now 22,892, exclusive of the tioating population ; Manitolia 19,000, now, say, 150,000. We have now, as a Church, passed the other two churches, and stand at the head. The figures of 1882 are given with those of 1871 :— CongreiJAtions and Mission Stations J'amilies Communicants .

The grants made to maintain the work carried ou in tiie Mission field during 1889-90 amounts, for the six Presbyteries, to about .$16,495, exclusive of travelling expenses. This is about •'S500 less than for the previous year. The travelling expenses amounted to about iJl.SOO, but the exact figure cannot be given in this report. The grants per S.abbath, passed by the H. M. C. of the General Assembly for the fields of these Presbyteries, amount to $483.90. The grant for last year amounted to $;V>7.10. Since many of the fields, it is feared, will get only partial supply, this amount per Sabbath will be required only during the summer. The special contributions given by congregations and individuals will still further diminish the drain on the Mission treasury. The amount received by augmented congregations was about .$3,542, and the amounts voted for the current year foot ui> .$5,075. The reduction made for salaries of missionaries of augmented congregations owing to the deficit amounted to $513.00. aUPPLY OK LAB0UREH8. The inadequate supply of suitable labourers is an old complaint, but it should be kept before the Church. Last winter twenty-nine fields got no supply, and six others partial supply ; and but for the valuable help given by the professors and students of Manitoba College the number would have 2 xviu. Appendix No. 1. been much lari;ei'. Few appreviivte the condition of MiHsions deprivoil for seven or ei^ht niontlu of (io.spel nrdinanceii. In sicknesii there i» none to explain the way of salvation, or direct the pergon asking for light. l>eath 8tepi< in, but there is no one to conduct the services of Christian 1)urial, or to comfort those who are bereaved. When the Church is devoting so much attention to planting Missions abroad she must be prepared to care for her people at home, (juite a number of ordained miasionaries were appointed this spring, but only about half number required could be secured. Kxperience goes to show that summer service is an expensive system ; that a congregation with such supply rises slowly to the point of self-support. With continuous service the development is faster and the work more enduring. This spring over 100 students, who applied to the H. M. C. for appoint- ment, were left without appointment. The nuuilieris likely to increase from year to year. Were the Ch»irch to encourage some of the candidates for the ministry to spend the winter in the Mission field, help would be given to the work and the young men Ijenefited, The western field, with its temptation to carelessness and irreligion, (leinands constant supply. WABBATH SCHOOLS. A good ileal of attention ix being paid to Sabbath scluiol work, and the attendance is increasing frfim year to year. Although no returns were received from about eighty schools at points where ser- vices are conducted only in summer, yet the returns made show an attendance of 7,561 scholars. Full return«i would swell the number to about 11,000. It is an instruction to all missionaries to organize •Sabbath schools wherever practicable, and should ilitficulties be met the vase is to be reported at once. A man who has devoted a good deal of his time to the work is engaged specially to assist in organizing schools this summer, and his expenses are borne by a lady in Ottawa. Libraries were obtained for several schools in destitute districts from outside sources. For such purposes a very liberal discount was allowed by the manager of Upper Canada Tract ^^ociety. The importance of Sabbath school instruction is enhanced inasmuch as ifamily religion is so often {neglected. About forty of the scholars passed the examination in higher religious instruction and several prizes were won. SACRA.MK.Vrs niSPKNSKD. As in former years arrangements were made to dispense thejsacraments in every field. Com- munion rolls and baptismal registers are kept in the different Missions and efforts made to get the total membership enrolled. Of the additions made to the roll a large number are on profession of faHh. In 1882 the families outnumbered the communicants .50 per cent., while now the communi- cants considerably outnumber the families. Of the yonnK men coming from Kastern Provinces not one in six is a communicant. STCDKSTs' MISSIONAIIY SOOIKTV. Valuable aid was given by the Students' Missionary Societies of Queen's, Knox *und Manitoba Colleges, in manning fields last seasim. This year Knox lias three Missionaries in tiie field, Ijueen's three, and Manitoba College six. These eifent a large saving to the Home Mission Fund. (>enerous assistance was given last year also by individual members of the Church in the proseciition of work and by congregations. St. Andrews, Perth ; Dumfries St. Church, Paris ; First Church, Seaforth ; Farringdon Independent Church, Brantford : E. H. Bronson, Esq., Ottawa; Ladies' Society, ('hatham ; John Charlton, Esq., Lyuedoch ; J. W. Kilgour, Beauharnoig, Que. ; — Fleet, Esq., Montreal, J. B. McLaren, Morden, deserve a|jecial mention for the exceptional large contributions in aid of Home Missions in thf North-West. mSHIONS SUPPOHTKII. Missionaries are being supported this year by congregations and individuals as follows : At Clearsprings, by CoUingwood, Ont. ; McGrsgor, by First Church, Truro, N.S. ; Newdale, by Spring- hill, N.S. ; Wawanesa, by I^ady of First Church, Truro, N.S. ; Riverside, by Dumfries St. Church, Paris, Ont. ; lied Deer, by St. Andrews, Ottawa, Ont. ; Saltcoats (Gaelic Colony) by Sabbath School, Portage la Prairie ; Penrith, by St. Andrews, Almonte, Ont. ; Raeburn, by St. Andrews, Brockville, Ont. ; Posen, by W.

Bronson, Esq., M.P.P., Ottawa, Ont. ; Antler, by Mrs. Bronson, senr., Ottawa, Ont. The assistance to the Home Mission Fund through the generosity of these congregations and individuals is substantial. It shows the interest taken in the work, and cheers the hearts of those Til, Mnnses.

The Committees on the State of Religion and Temperance will report on these subjects for theRe Western Provinces and TerritorieR, and there in no need of special reference to these subjectri. Although prohibition in the Territories does not prohibit to the extent that is desirable, and although those high in authority have donj much by the prodigal use of permits to destroy the efTeots of the law, yet |irohibition has been n great boon. Bad as things have been free trade in liquor would have made them miich worse. The better cI.tss of citixenK will stoutly oppose any relaxation of the law. STATK OK ItKl.inlON. Taking tiie Synod as a wliolf there is reason to believe that religious life is in a fairly healthy •tate. The Sabbath is outwardly at least observed by the mass of the people. Lack of Sabbath services begets indifference about the proper observance of the day. The services of God's house are well attended, and the accessions to the Communion rolls are encouraging. The people are liberal in the support of ordinances and contribute cheerfully to the erection of churches and manses. The contributions last year amounted to 815.76 [wr counnunicant, including MisHion stations, although these for the winter had no supply at all. This is creditable liberality. It is to be feared, how- ever, that family religicm is not as extensively etdtivated as is desirable. . !,: OKUKOH AND MANSK FUND. The O.iirch and Manse Fund rendered ^neat service last year in the erection of Churches and Manses. At a number of points arrangements are already completed to build this summer. At OaklandH, Silver Creek, Lady Dauphin, Maple Creek, Pine Creek, Anthracite, Darlingford, Wawanesa and the rest ; steps are being taken to test the financial strength of the settlement with a view to building. OHAKAOTKK AND WOKK OK MISSIONARIES. Testimony should be borne as to the character of the Missionaries of the Church. Take them us a whole, no class of men in the service of the Church deserve better treatment at her hands. The work is laborious. They frequently drive .S5 or 40 miles on Sabbath and preach three times. There is an enormous area to cover in visiting. They are obliged to be away a great deal from home ; and driving long distances with 60 or 70 degrees of frost is not comfortable. It is seldom that cold or storm prevents them from keeping their appointments. The salary is not large in promise, and frequently it is less in performance. They have little opportunity of exchanging pulpits, and as to attending a meeting of the General Assembly, many of them scarcely hope to indulge in such a luxury. They would require to economize and save for two years to pay the debt. They come to the West and they are buried. There is scarcely a Sunday School scholar that Ih not acquainted with the homes and fields of our Foreign Missicmaries. These brethren feel that their work ij appreciated, that they are prayed for, and that their work the Church makes her own. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society meets and generously votes a handsome bonus to the married Foreign Missionaries. The salaries of these brethren are always paid in full, and hence this vote of the women is a real donation. What about the Home Missionary 'i Owing to our )>Hrtial failure of crops this year not one of them here will get the small salary promised, and some will come short from *150 to 8200. Who would think of making that amount up to them ? And yet these brethren do not complain. Some of them have had tempting offers to remove where the sur- xz. Appkndix No. 1. ronndinga are pleasant, the Huciety select, and the salary sure and larger. They elected t«> remain' Home MisNionarieH, All honor to such men. Whatever'position the Church occupies in the West is due to the self-sacriflcinK spirit of her Missionaries. Let the funds by which they are sustained be placed in so healthy a state as that the pressure now exerted may to some extent l)e removed. •= {!:■ 1^.^ WANTS OK THK WKHT. The needs of this WeHtern (/ountry are ^reat, and its claim i)n the Presl)yterian (Jhurch valid. We are thankful to God for the generous help from Ontario in the past, and for the hearty manner in which the Maritime Provinces responded to the appoal made to them last winter. The sons of the Church early appeared in this Northwest, and rendered (splendid service in the work of explora- tion and discovery. The Mackenzie, Fraser, Finlay, Thompson, Simpson and other rivers bear the name of Presbyterians. An elder of the Church planted the first colony in the Lone Land, and the colonists were Presbyterians. To tlie Church also belon);s the honour of having sent here the first Christian Missionary. The people settling in the ,country now largely belong to the Pres- byterian Church, and surely their spiritual necessities appeal to us all. Nor let any say, "they have their Bibles," for so have the people of Ontario, and yet ndnisters are needed to edify God's people and bring sinners to God. And if in the East, with organized society and the force of » healthy public opinion, ministers are a neces sity, how much more here. If these children of ours are nev;lected by us, who is to care for them ? The heathen are the care of Christendom, but if Canadians neglect the West it will be wholly neglected. We neglected our people in the past and we Hutfer. Western Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the Kastern Townships, the Ottawa Valley, Central Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula, bear evidence of culpable neglect and irreparable loss. Shall we repeat the blunders of the past in the West ? Attention to Christian work now will make the Church here strong in a few years, and render her able to assist in extending the Kingdom of Christ elsewhere. Moreover, unless our young men are cared for and surrounded with healthy influences they will be almost sure to succumb to banefid seductions. The fon.is of evil are legion, but cannot be dis- cussed here. It is not too much to say, however, that many a light has been rpienched by pestilential environment. With evil seducers, impure companions, infidel associates, foul and atheistic literature, escape from c(mtamination seems impossible. Are not the souls of men in Canada as precious as those in any portion of the world '! To go in now and possess the country in the name of Christ is to confer imtold blessings upon society a.id to generations to oome. Few churches have such rare opportunities as we have. May we have grace to see our duty to our children and our Church, to our country and to our God. The state of each Mission will be learned from the statement that follows, takinis' the Presby- teries in order ; PRK8BYTBRV OF WINNIHKO. Srhreiher lies about 1I{0 miles east of Port Arthur, and is the headquarters of the Mission in that district. The Mission extends for nearly 200 miles along the railway, the most important points being Schreiber and Port Caldwell. The former is a divisional point of the C P. R., and repair shops are located there. The latter is the home of a number of fishermen from Huron county, who ply their trade on Lake Superior. At Port Caldwell a church is to be built this year. Owing to frequent changes in men and the nature of the Mission, no great progress is to be looked for. The Missionary is rendering eiticient service, and is highly appreciated. Silrei' Mountain lies S. W. of Fort William. On the Slate River, four or five miles distant, a farming settlement of twelve or fourteen families was formed last: year, and the Missionary will care for the mines and colony. There is not much progress to report. Ignace is a railway district extending, between Fort William and Rat Portage, a distance of nearly 'MO miles. At some points along the railway, lumbering operations are conducted, and the Missionary has, in all, about 500 souls under his care. Fairly good work was d(.ne here last year, but the financial results were disappointing. A good Missionary is sent in this spiing. Fort Frances Mission is situated along the right bank of the Rainy River. The settlement was effected in the days when the Dawson route was used, but isolation has prevented growth. Faithful service was rendered here during the summer, and a minister was sent in in the autumn to disjiense ordinances. Until the advent of a railway no change is to be looked for. Keetoatin has become quite a thriving village of 750 inhabitants. Here was built, at a cost of over $250,000, one of the largest flouring mills on the continent. It is of granite, 55 x 110 feet, and 110 feet in height. Its capacity is 1,200 barrels of flour a day. Elevators, and cooper factory, etc.. APPENDIX No. I. XXI.

The water ;)ower is M,5,000 horse, or enough to grind 100,000,000 bushels annually, and most easily controlled. A church was built here costing over |2,500. The assistance «iven by the Church and Manse Board cleared it of tleht. The congregation became self-sustaining, and are now in (|uest of a pastor. In a year or two the territory east of Keewatin should be formed into a separate Presbytery. Whileinouth maintained its own during the year, but made little prirgress. The Student Mis- sionary did faithful service during the summer, and Manitoba College supplied daring the winter. The only industry in the district is lumbering. Clandeboye was supplied last summer, and good service rendered. A re-arrangement of old sta- tions, and the opening of new stations has resulted in Little Britain being detached from Selkirk, and two mission fields formed— Little Britain and Nettleby, In connection with the former are forty families and twenty-tive communicants, and about an eijual number are connected with the other. Clear Sprinun maintained its own, but owing to the way it is hemmed in growth must be slow. No other church but our own holds service in the district. The Mission is suitported by the Ladies' Society of Collingwood. Millbfook has developed a good deal during the last two years, and is now ready to call a pastor. There are about seventy-five families and eighty communicants reportnd. Dominion Cilti is also in a flourishing state, and desirous of calling a pastor cif its own. Its families and communicants are increasing, and its financial standing better assured. Morris—t'ha.i remained so long stationary— is in a better state than for years. A jjromising graduate from Montreal has been appointed, and it is hoped a good congregaticm may follow. Ureenwood, tmder the conscientious care of Mr. McFarlane, is gradually growing in families and communicants. The financial record also is better. GreliM took a great start lost year. The Church and f anse Board made the congregation a present of a chiu'ch at West Lynne. The people moved it a distance of eighteen miles, and fitted it up at a ccst of about !ill,000, defraying the wliole expense, and they have now a neat and com- fortable church. Tiie town w suiTounded by Mennonites, and it is pleasing to report that several of them attend the services and gave substantial aid to fit up the church. We have this field to ourselves. Meadoir Lai, owing to the sparseness of the settlement, grows but slowly. It was formerly sup- plied with Posen, but the distance between the two settlements being too great, it is to be supplied with Poplar Point, etc., this season, and Posen detached, Poien is a wide settlement lying east of Lake Manitoba. There are five stations connected with the field, and as noon as an outlet is afforded l>y the operation of the H. B. Ry., no doubt the congregation will prosper. iStonii JUounlain is situated nortii-west of Winnipeg, has three stations, thirty-two families and twenty-five communicants. A Student Missiimary did faithful work during the summer, and the field was supplied during the winter from Manitoba College. Royal, etc., made encouraging progress, and its prospects are brightening. The land in that d congre- ifation.

Sioan Luke. — In this field valuable work was done, and owing to the construction of a railway the prospects are good. A side for a church has been secured at Swan Lake station, and u church is to be erected immediately. The name of the ^roup hereafter is to be Musselboro', the name of a new station to the east of the field. Swan T.;kke station is to !« connected with La Riviere hereafter. La Riiiere comprises Swan Jjake, (Cingsley, Macken/.ie and Lii IMviere as at piesent urrantj^ed. Last season faithful work was done and the results were gratifyinf,'- Cryital Crt,v.— This is a new group formed from the La Klvlere group, except I^a Riviere and Crystal City, which used to be connected with Pilot Mound. The field has nearly .M) families ami a oummunion roll of 33. The Mission does not ask much nid and should soon be {trovtded with a pastor. Cltarwaler made satisfactory progress, and promises to Iweome a good congregation. The partial failure of crops prevented any financial advance. Cartwight increased largely in membership and families. Steps have been taken to erect a church at Cartwrlght this year. Pelican Lake.— In this field are two colonies of Crofters who came from Scotland two years a^'o. A young man able to preach In Oaellc laboured among them, and his services were most acceptable. There are in all about .50 Presbyterian families in the district, the most of them Crofters. Killartiey Is one of the most important grou])s in the Presbytery. The •families number 80 and the communicants 114. There are ."i statton»i and they are so widely separated that division seem^ Inevitable. With a good pastor there should be ere long a vigorous congregation. An Ordained Missionary takes charge this year. Rivtrside is the Mission supported by Dumfries Street Church, Paris. Mr. Mackay, the pastor, is a hardworking and painstaking Missionary and the work is prospering under him. It is expected that a railway will be built through the district this year and such a road will be a great boon. Boittevain is growing apace, a substantial acKiition havinu' been made to the families and com- municants during the past year. />eWatn« became an augmented congregation and Is in a nourishing state. A comfortable manse was built. Watkada was supplied during the summer by the Students' Missionary Society of (Queen's and the Missionary gave general satisfaction. That Society takes the field this summer again. ArUlert is a wide scattered field lying west of the Souris River. The prospects of railway con- struction sent a number of settlers into the district and an additional Missionary is needed. It is expected that this work will be cared for without additional expense to the Committee. The partial failure of crops told on the growth of work in the Presbytery last year. The fami- lies increased 20 per cent, and the communicants 1.5 per cent. Building operations were very limited and only a slight advance made in ministerial support. The Deloraine Mission became a congregation but the organization of another field leaves the number of Missions the same. A second new field will be organized without delay. These fields need very much to get contihuous supply. PBBSBYTKRY OK BRANDON. By the action of the General Assembly the Presbytery of Brandon was divided into two, and yet each of them was as large as the Presbytery was when organized in 1884. The Presbytery is now compact and promises to be prosperous.

ShunkH is one of the districts to be benefitted by the construction of the Manitoba Central Kail- way. The field is wide and the families scattered. The latter number ■">78, the communicants 74. A manse is to be built at the Shanks station, and a church at the Oak Kiver station this summer. Stnithdair has suffered a great deal through dissensions. While it might have been strong it lias continued weak and disappointing. This spring a deputation of Presbytery and the Superin- triiuleut of 'Missions visited the field, and the Irritation seems to be considerably allayed. An efficient student catechist is in charge for the summer. Uak Kiirr is another of the fields to be Ijenetitted by the Man. Cent. Railway.

Slttxil Lake added 22 to its communion roll, and advanced otherwise I'urintr the year. The town sutfored through a disastrous fire, which affected every interest. Owing to the si/.e of the held and the distance to be travelled the Kossburn portion was erected into a separate field, and two new stations opened to be associated with Kossburn. Two additional stations are to be organized soutli of the line of railway, and to be connected with Shoal Lake. This will give Shoal Lake five stations. Biulah. The combination of the Home and Foreign Miasion work of Beulah is giving satisfac- tion to all parties. The Indians wiaheil weekly service, and the Foreign Mission Committee of Synod increased the grant to S400 per annum, and the request was granted. The grant from the Home Mission Fund is only i84 per Sabbath, and a good deal of work is done among the settlers, and two stations was supplied. A part of the field was disjoined and connected with a new field formec' in the Presbytery of Brandon. Skilliaouth shows a gratifiying gain in cumuiunicauts, but its fandlies remain the same. The district has rece' 'ed no gain in settlers, and progress there must be slow. MinnUka is steadily growing, and promises to be yet a good field. This station is now Msociated with Russell and Millwood, the three forming a compact and workable field. At Russell a very comfortable frame church w.as built, much of the credit for the same being due to our Missionary Mr. James Lang. Bimcarth is again placed on the Mission list till its strengtii is augmented. Silver Creek and a new station just opened (Leaburn) are associated with Binscartli. A Church was erected at Bins- earth, and one is to be erected this year at .Silver Creek, and so the Silver Creek and St. Mary's Stations united. Tiie outlook now at Binscarth is hopeful. An Ordained Missionary is appointed to the field. Yorklon increased in families from oO to 41, and in commnnicants from 24 to 40. Owing to the short crop there was no financial advance. Orescent Lake. Here there is an increase in communicants, but a decrease in families. The session was very dry, and all interest suffered. The prospects this spring are better. Saltcoats is the present terminus of the M. & N.-W. Railway. Xorth anil west of Saltcoats are settled 47 families of Crofters from the West of Scotland, who came to the country in the spring of 1889 : they form two colonies. They were assisted to this country by a loan ■ ' W120 sterling to eacii family by the British Government. The money was placed to their credit, and tiie outfits and supplies purchased for them charged to their account. Last Hea.son proved unfavourable to their crops, and liefore winter was over their means were exhausted. Aid was sent from Winnipeg and Toronto, and suffering pi evented. The (Jovernment has provided seed grain and potatoes this spring, and some of the land broken up l.-vst seasim is being put under crop. Several heads of families, however, have left home to look for work and the means to support their families without sowing or planting anything ; this is to be regretted. The outlook just now for such families, is not very promising. There is room in this country for all the people Scotland can spare. Care is rei|uirecl, however, if movements of this kind are to be successful. There is here no reflection on any person connected with this laudable scheme, and yet in the interests of the country and these people any elements of weakness must be eliminated. Persons over 'M or 40 years of age should not be sent. An agent who could speak their own language, and sympathize with them would seem to be prefer- able. Instead of being planted together they should be located among Canadian settlers, where they could learn practical farming, and get work to support their families in winter without exhaust- Appendix No. 1.

A Gaelic-speaking Missionary is appointed this spring, and the Sabbath School of Knox Church, Portage la Prairie, becomes respon- sible for his support. Langenbm'g was occupied last year for the first time. It lies along the line of the M. & N.-W. Railway, immediately west of the Province of Manitoba. The population at this point is very heterogeneous— many of them being from different countries on the continent of Europe. Anions' them are a number of devoted English-speaking people, and among these the work was carried on. The Students' Missionary Society of Manitoba College takes charge of the field this summer. Eoitsburn lies 25 miles north-west of Shoal Lake, and owing to distance and the extension of settlement to the north a Mission field was organized there this spring. Three stations now form the group, and a fourth will be added later. The district is more devoted to ranching than grain- raising. PHKSBYTEHY OP KKOINA. This Presbytery has the widest and most difficult Mission field in the Synod east of the Rocky Mountains. The difficulties experienced in the prosecution of work are many and formidable, and yet in the most commendable spirit the Presbytery is grappling with them. Much credit is due to the t'onvener of the Home Mission Committee of Presbytery and to the Clerk. Alamedtt. — Until a railway resiches this settlement not much growth can be looked for. Last year the Missionary Society of Queen's College took charge of the Held and they resume work this spring again. There are about 70 r.vinmuuicants on the roll .-vncl the field contains about 600 square miles. liattlcford must remain stationary till a railway reaches the town. Mr. C. W. Bryden was appointed last year and the work is H:oing on satisfactorily under him. The troubles of 188.5 left the congregation financially weak. Hiiffahi Lake shows signs of improvement. Settlers, who some years ago left the district, are returning and a more hopeful spirit prevails. liroadimc is retrograding. A number of the people have left and the oentral station has suffered cit owing to frequent changes in workmen, results are not so apiiarent as in settled districts. Maple Creek is the eastern portion of the Gleiohen field. The Missionary was teaciier at .Swift Current, and attended to the Mission work also. This summer, owing to the growing importance of the work, he is to confine himself to Mission work. A church was built at Swift ( 'urrent, and one is to be built this year at Maple Creek. Lethbridgc reports a gain, and reduces its grant from $8 per Sabbath to ^. It was .*il'.i a few years ago. The building of the railways, southward and westward, will help Lethbridge a good deal. Pincher Creek was re-occupied last year under discouraging circumstances, and solely through the generosity of a member of the Church in Ottawa, who agreed to defray expenses as he had before done. The work h» been most gratifying, and never were the prospects of the Mission Appendix No. 1. xxvu. brij-hter. 'I'he Missionary is much enuouraged, and speaks confidently of the future. Service.s were held at Fort McLeod, with an average attendance of iifty-five. There are nine families there, and fifty-two young men. At Pincher Creek the attendance was thirty-four, a.id there are twelvi families and fifty-four young men. At Saw Mill are nine farailies and twenty-eight young men. and there was an attendance of nineteen. Three other stations are to be supplied this summer — Fort Kip, Willow Creek and Dry Fork. A manse is being built at Pincher Creek, and the chuvcli at McLeod seated. High River has been divided into two fields, and as settlers come in tliese will grow. The rail- way from Calgary southward will pass through the field. There was a decided gain in numbers and contributions last year. A church was built at Dunbar, where High River enters the Bow. Pitie Creek is building a church this spring, and the prospects of the whole field are cheeriny;. Settlers are coming in, and new stations will require to be started this year to accommodate them. Bow River covers a considerable area, and settlement is sparse. The people were much pleased with the Student there, and contributed fairly well towards his support. Red Deer was not supplied last summer except for a short time. Services were given by tlie minister of Edmonton, on his way to and from the Assembly. This spring a Missionary is sent, and no doubt the building of the Calgary and Edmonton railway will greatly help the progress of that part of the country. Fort Saskatchewan received supply for a good part of laat summer from the Missionary residing there during the previous winter. Since July, however, the minister at Edmonton has been caring for the field. Owing to the unsatisfactory state of the Home Mission Fund, the Presbytery decided to ask the minister of Edmonton to give such supply as was practicable. The church at Clover Bar was finished, and the work generally is in a healthy state. Financially, however, the whole district suffers through the lack of a market. Medicine Hat takes its place amoug tlie congregations after this. The church there was reno- vated and enlarged, and the manse was fitted up afresh. The congregation is in good heart. In innection with it are energetic and devoted men. ICKLANOIC MISSION. As will be seen from the report of Mission work in Manitoba, the Icelandic Mission in that Province is being carried on with a large measure of success. During the past year a i emonstrance was sent to the Committee by the Rev. F. J. Bergman, against our Church orgar.'lzing Mission Stations for the Icelanders, on the ground that they were otherwise provided with Gospel Ordinances. The Committee transmitted Mr. Bergman's communication to the Presbytery of Winnipeg, and the following is the reply sent the Committee : " In the early months of the year 1888 a young Icelander, Jarus Johannsen, who had some time before became a convert of a Presbyterian Mission in Xew York, came to Winnipeg. Becomin;j; acquainted with several of the Presbyterian ministers of Winnipeg, he represented the importance of having Mission work done among his countrymen, and expressed his wish to enter Manitoba College to study for the ministry. Having satisfied themselves as to Mr. .fohannaen's piety iind general acceptability, the Presbytery of Winnipeg undertook the Mission work recommended. The following statements in connection with the whole matter are summitted : (rt) There are in the Canadian North-West, it is believed, some 5,000 or 6,000 Icelanders, nl whom about 2,000 are in the C'ity of Winnipeg. To meet the wants of this large mumber there are (so far as the Presbytery knows) only two ministers. These are ministers of the Lutheran Icelandic church. It was found that many of the Icelanders of Winnipeg, while nominally connected witlv the Lutheran Icelandic chufch in Winnipeg fairly attended church, and were in great danger nt relapsing into total indifference. This was not only ascertained from Mr. .Tohannsen, but fmiu the pei-Bonal observation of members of Presbytery. (6) The conviction was likewise reached, that while the minister in charge of the Icelandic church in Winnipeg was jiersonally nn estimable man, yet that the essentials of an active i)ropoga- tion of the Gosijcl, viz : The great doc trines of ruin by the fall, redemption by the Blood of Clirist. and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, formed but a small part of the preaching and teaching of the Icelandic church in Winnipeg. While all the so-called Evangelical ctenominations saw their way to unite in common revival work, the Icelandic minister not only did not unite, but warned hi.-- flock against the same. It has been a not uncommon tiling in the ministrations of the Icelandic church to combine for common condemnation the Presbyterians, Salvation Army and Mormons as dangerous people. All this indicates a dis|)osition that must be fatal to true religion, and must allow many of the Icelanders, exposed as they are to the dangerous influences of a new coimtry, ti> relapse into irreligion. ■(.;« ' XXVIU.

L^nglcy.— The recent opening of anew church at Langley Prairie gives Mr. Tait tliree com- ■fortalile churches, and is at the same time a satisfactory solution of a long-standing difficulty which has seriously interfered with the advancement of that portion of the field. This Mission ought soon to take rank as a self-sustaining charge. Delta.— Thifi field has made very satisfactory progress during the last eight months under Dr. Warren. It is gre.atly to be regretted that the Missicmary, who has laboured so faithfully, is com- ^jelled, through ill-health, to abandon the Mission when apparently his work is beginning to tell. It is to 1)6 hoped that the place will not be left long vacant. Vietoi'iu DMrict. — It has been deemed advisable to divide this field, Mr. Macrae retaining Esiiuimalt and Cedar Hill, and tbking up new ground in Victoria West, a rapidly growing suburb of the City of Victoria. This arrangement will enable Mr. Macrae to give weekly service at each oi these three points. The outlying stations are, for the summer, to lie under the charge of Mr. A. Mackenzie, a student of (Queen's College, Kingston. Appkndix No. 1. XXIX. Coojo.K,— Mr, Fraser continues to labour with unwearied energy and good results. It was ex- pected at one time that this field would by this time be self-sustaining but the susijension, for several months, of work at Union Mines, and the consequent exodus of the miners, have prevented the realization of thij hope. A comfortable mnnse was completed last summer. Alberni.— Servicer were conducted during the winter months by Mr. Pillar. Mr. K. Frew, of Montreal College, has entered upon his work there for the summer. On the whole our work is making satisfactory progress and we have reason to " thank God anci take courage," MISHION TO F.UMUEI15IKN.

This Society was organised in January, 1889, its object being (1) The cultivation of a missionary spirit in its members ; and (2) The carrying of the Gospel of Christ into the more remote districts of the Presbytery of Quebec. To this end the Society met fortnightly for prayer, for the receiving of reports, and for discussion relative to new work being undertaken. XXX. Appendix No. 1. !i!i; Durin),' the session of 1888-18«!», services were regularly and gratuitously held in the Jeffrey Hale Hospital, the Protestant Orphans' Home, and occasionally in the Quebec Jail.

In the gummerof 1889, a missionary was employed at Portneuf, a village on th i St. Lawrence, and thirty miles from Cjuebec ))y C. P. 11. This place is important from its being oi.e of the leading paper-manufaoturing districts in this Province, also from its proximity to the city, causing an influx of summer visitors. Our missionary reported as follows : "Average attendance per service, 80 ; 12 new members were added by profession of their faith in (Christ. The attendance at Bible-class reached 20. This field raised during the year, 8218.(18. During the following winter the Society supplied this field gratix. At the close of the session of 188it-90, the Mission of Portneuf liad been handed over to the Presbytery of Quebec at its March meeting, and is now p)aced on the Home Mission list. The treasurer has on hand upwards of $200, received from collections, subscriptions, etc.. and the promise of the C')-operation of the Missionary Branch of the Ladies' Aid Society of St. Andrew's Church. • Quebec, which Society, it is hoijed will become affiliated to the Students' Missionary Society next session. We have this summer employed a man to travel between Litke St. Joseph and Quebec (part of the Lake St. John district), to hold cottage services and do colporteur work. Arrangements are also beinu made to send u Missionary to Grande Mi^re, north of Three Rivers, to teach school on week days, and hold services on Sundays. AXNl'AL llKPOliT OF MONTllKAL C'OLLEGK STUDKNTS' MISSIONARY SOCIKTY. The Society has this year maintained its work as usual in connection with the various charitable institutions of the city. During the summer Mr. C. H. Vessot, one of the French students of the college, was employed in the work of collecting for the proposed French school in one of the suburban districts of Montreal. Mr. Vessot travelled principally in Western Ontario, and succeeded in raising S«l,704. The sum deemed necessary has not yet been received, but, pending the collection of the full amount, a building has been rented in St. Jean Baptiste Village, and n day school opened with an attendance of twenty pupils, seventeen of whom are Roman Catholics. This school is in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Charles, and, so far as present prospects promise, there is every encourage- ment to proceed in the hope of doing, in a degree, the work of evangelization in which .oome of the larger schools in the province have been so greatly blessed.

MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION FOR As an Association we have great reason for thankfulness to our Heavenly Father tor the .success that has .attended our efforts during the past year. Our Missionaries have performed faithful service for Christ, both in the North-West and in destitute parts of Ontarii>. While the immediate results have been very encouraging, we hope and ))ray that the good seed may produce a yet more bountiful harvest in the future. During the past summer the Association supplied three fields in the North-West and two in Ontario. The following Mission fields along the K. & P. Railway received regular service during the session, viz ; Piccadilly, Parliani, Sharbot Lake, Wilbur and Calabogie. Portsmouth and Collin's Bay were also supplied throughout the session, and Wolfe Island till the first of .January. The services in the Hospital, House of Industry, and Depot MiR.sion were iianded over to the College Y. M. C!. A. at the beginning of the session. We are happy to know that the charge has been faithfully attended. The regular fortnightly meetings of tl*- Associatiim were as usual well attended. Besides the reports of the Missionaries, many able papers on ubjects of general interest were read. AI.AMKD.A AND CAHNDCKh'. J. liinnic, /'. A,, Afifmionarii. For seven years this field has been suptilied by students sent out under the (Queen's College .Missionary Association.

A large proportion of the people are Presbyterian, but they are ncattered over an extent of prairie about twenty-five miles tsquare. There are six stations, at which services were conducted fortnightly. There is only one church in the field, at Alameda. There are some seventy names im the communion roll. The people are hospitable, frank and kind. The student was supplied with board and lodging durinLT the summer free of charge. The people are waiting for the railro^td, and as the prospects for its coming are good, there is no doubt bu*' that in a short time, with the influx of population, there will be more than one flourishing and self-supporting congregation in this field. Those interested in church affairs give liberally, and though the cro|)s last summer were almost a complete failure, a great many having neither bread nor seed, yet the .imoimt uiven 1>y the field toward the Association was nearly nin( ty dollars.

At four preaching stations, viz., Medora, Ver- 4)na, .Moira and Lennox, regular fortnightly services were held from the beginning of May till November, with the exception of three weeks, during which the Missionary was laid aside by sick- ness. The attendance iit these services was encouraging, consiilering the distance many had to come. At two of the stations there are flourishing Sabbath schools. The people are extremely kind and hospitable, and always give the Missionary a hearty welcome. Before leaving a very pleasant and successful social was held, at which $27 was realized. At Waskada a farewell con- cert was tendered the Missionary. This also was a ilecided success. The amount raised by the field was small, luit owing to unfavouiable circumstances this is not a matter of surprise. The earthly crop was a light one, but we trust and pr.iy that the spiritual seed sown in the hearts of the people may bring forth an abundant harvest to the praise and glory of God.

This Society, which was estal)liMhed in 184") for the purpose of evanxelizinj; Frencii Cuiiiidinh' Roman Catholics, has long since abandoned its original purpose. It now devotes itself to the two- fold object of sending the ( Tospel to places otherwise destitute of it, and of creating and fostering u Missionary spirit among its members. All those wiio are pursuing their studies in Toronto with a view to entering the ministry of the Presbyterian Ohurch are regarded as members. To accoui- pHsh its object public and ordinary meetings of the Society are held. The ordinary meetings are held semi-monthly, at which reports are read and the general business of the Society is conducted. There is also provision made for informing the members who attend these meetings in regard to general Mission work. Two public meetings were held during the session, both of whicii were well atteniled and very interesting and instructive. The tirst was held December titli. At this meeting two papers wi'ie read, one on "The Work of the Church in the West," the other entitled " Missiim Scenes from tlie Backwoods ; " also an address liy Rev. J. B. Fraser, M.l)., on "Some Fallacies about Missions and Missionaries." At the second meeting, iield February 2Wth, addresses were delivered by T. (i. MalchetT on the "People and Customs of Macedonia," and by Rev. R. N. (Irant on '"Motive Power in Mission work. " During the summer months student Missionaries are sent to the different fields to preach the (irospel and establish stations in tlie most promising centres. When these stations become sutti- ciently strong they take their place among the regular Mission stations of the Church. Tiger Hills, Blind River, Serpent River, Byng Inlet and Coboconk, which the Society has worked for a number of years, have passed from our hands into the care of the Presbyteries, thus enabling us to take up new fields otherwise destitute of ordinances. During the past summer fourteen fields were occupied : these fields comprised thirty-nine stations. In twenty of these weekly services were held, eighteen had fortnightly services, one occasional services. Twenty-three stations had organized Sabbatli schools ; fifteen prayer-meetings were held weekly. Kvery Sabbath thirty-two services were held with a total average attendance nf 1, ;!?.'>, representing a membership of 472. The expenses of the Society are met largely by contributions from the different fields. But as the revenue derived from this source does not equal the expenditure, the .Society looks for aid to friends outside the fields without which it would be impossible to carry on the work. During the past summer the expenditure amounted to t?2,798,(!r), and of this sum the fields contributed •^i2,037.tHi ; the balance was met by outside contributions. In the past the Society's expenditure has been kept within the income, but it trusts that through the co-operation of its members and liberality of its friends, an extension of the work may be possible in the futin'e.

Sabbath schools and prayer meetings were conducted at the church, and also at Mcl^ean's Mill, about two miles and a-half distant ; these are being continued through the winter by the people. Much interest was manifested in the services and some devoted ('hristiana encouraged the Mission- ary very much in his work. Kev. A.

The balance of the debt on tke church was paid by an unknown friend.

At the October meeting of the Committee an application was received from the Presbytery of Montreal for the apiraiutnient of a Missionary to meet and direct immigrants arriving from Europe. The matter was referred to a sub- committee consisting of Rev. l)rg. Warden, Campbell and Farries, to report in March. At the meeting in March the sub-committee appointed to consider the applica- tion of the Presbytery of Montreal for the appointment of a Missionary to meet and direct inmii- grants arriving from Europe, reported recommending that the application be granted. The report was received, but the CouiUiittee, while sympathizing with the object aimed at, regretted their inability in the present state of the fund to do anything meanwhile. GHANT8 FROM UHEAT BHITAIN. During the past year there has been received £150 sterling from the Irish Presb> terian Church, £160 from the Free Church of Scotland and £50 from the Church of Scotland. Since the meeting of the Committee a further sum of £7, 168. 2d, has been received from the Glasgow Free Church Students' Missionary Society and another friend. MARITIME PR0VINCK8 CONTRIBUTIONS. During the year there has been received from the Maritime Provinces, in resi)onse to Dr. Robertson's appeals to the congregations in the eastern section of the church, upwards of $3,U0U for Mission work in the North- West. Several congregations and friends have al»o intimated their ii.ten- tions to support Missionaries in certain fields. '1 lie cordial thanks of the Assembly are due to the brethren in the Maritime Provinces, as well as to the British churches for such timely assistance. HOMK MISSION AUXILIAHIKH, During the year the Committee has received valuable assistance from several congretjations and Women's Missionary Societies and Bands which, in addition to their ordinary contributions, have supported in whole or in part. Missionaries in the North - West during the summer months. Several Women's Home Missionary Societies have also sent boxes of clothing for our Missionaries. Girls' and Boys' Home Mission Bands are being started also, in several congregations. OONVKRKNCK WITH KORKIUN MISSION COMMITTKR. At the last meeting of the General Assembly the following instruction? -were given to the Home Mission Committee :— "In order to secure the co-operation of the women of the Church in Home Mission Work, the General Assembly instructs the Committee, instead of taking action in the direction of forming Appkndix No. 1. XX XIX. Women's Home Mission Societies, as sanctioneil by a previous General Assembly, to confer with the Foreign Mission Committee and with the Executive Committee of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, with a view to widening the basis of said society, so as to include Home Missions in its o])erationB." At the October meeting of the Executive, Dr. Robeitson and Mr. Macdonnell were appointed a Bub-committeo to meet with the Foreign Mission Comn.ittee and arrange for a conference between the two committees as to the widening of the basis of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, in accordance with the iustrtictions of the General At-sendjly. At a latf r stage this sub-committee re- ported that the conference would be held at half-past seven o'chitk this evening in the Board Koom of Knox College. The Executive met at this hour in Knox College. There were present to confer with them the members of the Foreign Mission Committee and ali^o rei)resentatives of the Executive of the Woican's Foreign Missionary Society, who had been invited to the conference by the Foieign Mission Com- -nittee. The representative of the Home Mission Pixecutive made certain statements regarding the de- sirability of Home Missions being included in the work of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. Thereupon the secretary of the Foreign Mission Committee read tlie following resolution adopted by the Board of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, at a meeting held on October first : "That this Board is not unwilling to confer with the Home and Foreign Mission Committees, if such conference should be arranged. That the Board thinks it lias very strong reasons for remaining in its present rela- tion to the Foreign Mission Committee and continuing to work for Foreign Missions only." Repre- sentatives of the Woman's Foreign Missionary were heard in support of their views. Several members of the Foreign Mission Committee thereafter exjiressed their mind in opposition to the projjosed change, resting their opposition, chiefly, on the resolution of the Woman's Board. The conference was then clo.sed. !'i| .1 ii ^T-:?' xl. APPliNDIX No. 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. HOME MISSION FUND, 1889-90. Balance 1st May, 1889 . I'resbytery of Quebec. . .

In 187!) the rate i)er commu- nicant of the Presbytery of Quebec is for all puri)oses 80.00. lu 1889 the rate per communicant for all p\irposes is §15.14. Surely this shows the scheme has done much good and is worthy tlie hearty supi)ort of every nieudier of the Ch\irch. The necessity of reducing the grants to auL;mented congre- gations, owing to the state of the Augmentation Fund, is mucli to l)e ri'gretted, but it is hoped that the funmen, whose duty it is to make stated calls on the people ami receive what they are willing to give, the minister and the elders were to take it in hand I think we should, in a very short time, have very different results. The congregations would be juet as willing to give to this as to any other Scheme of the Church if they understood personally. I am sorry the Presbytery of Bruce should be among the defaulting ones. Our apportionment was a just and fair one, and there is not a con- gregation within our bounds but should have sent in their share of it. w xlvi. Appendix No. 1. Ill fi Pbksbytbbiks of Winnipko, Rock Lakb, Brandon, Minnkdosa, Rkoina and Caloarv. By the division of the Preshvtery of Brandon by the 1n«t General Assembly, there are now six Presbyteries between Tjake Superior and the Roclcy Mountains, and a seventh should soon be orga- nized in the district, tributary to Port Arthur and Fort Willinm. The nuinlier of Augmented con- grei^ations connected with these Presbyteries last year was nineteen. Of these one, Springlield, became self-sustaining, and another, Binscarth, was placed on the Homn Mission list. Five con- gregations were advanced from the Home Missiim list, leaving the present number twenty-two Connected with these are seventy-two stations, owning twenty-six churches and eight manses. The families number 1,U10, and the. communicants 1,390. The amount promised for stipend is #14,<>50, or at the rate of -"JIO.?? per communicant, and the Home Mission Ooinmittee of the General Assembly, promise 8.5,075 to supplement stipends, or $2U.66 per congregation. Considering that salaries in Manitoba are twenty per cent, higher than in Ontario, and >2 families, 112 communicants ; they promise for stipend, $1,300, or at the rate of $11.00 per communicant.

In all the others there is healthy and steady growth. The erection, during the year, of two beautiful and commodious church edifices, viz., St. Andrew's.

It is already well known throughout the Church that the past year has not been a prosperous one for the Augmentation Scheme. The year was begun with a deficit of S3,7<>8. In order to reduce this indebtedness, as well as the Home Mission deficit of 8745, an pffort was made immediately after the meeting of the General Assembly to secure contributions at several centres. The result was the raising from certain congregatioLs in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, London and St. Thomas of the sum of 83,298, of which 82,862 was devoted to Augmentation and 8436 to Home Missions. Al'PKNDIX No. 1. xlix- It in excee(Iin;{ly Kri^tifyini; to find that the balance in on the right gide in the Home MiH^ion acuountH. It is a matter ot regret tliat, notwlthHtandinK the liheral otTeiingt of a few conKreKationH towurdH the reducing,' of the deficit, the Hanic cannot be Haid of Augmentation. Including the Hpecial contributionx referred to, the whole amount received during the year was J825,42U.(i8, instead of the ?30,000 which was requireci. The following extract from the minutes of the Home MlHsion Omi- Jidttee sets forth the action which the Comndttee was constrained, very reluctantly, to take :— AUOMKNTATION DKFICIT. St. but in all, perous reduce y after vas the homoa ns. At the meeting of the committee in March it having ))een found that the funds on hand, together with those expectud before the end of April, not being sufficient to meet in full the claims of I'resljyteries on behalf of augmented congregations for the pist six months, it was ag'oed to pay grants so as to securp such a minimuiii stii)end as the fund will admit ; anil Messrs. Macrloiwiell, Laing, Robertson, Campbell and Warden were ai)pointed a sub-coinuiittee to examine the returns of the contril>utions and report as In the minimum that can be reached. At a later stage this sub- committee presented the following report ; - Whereas the funds now in the Treasurer's hands for augmentaticm, together with the amount expected before the close of the financial year, indicate a deficit of about ■?1,000, the sub-committee recouini'^nds : - 1. That $')0 be deiluctel in each case from the balance of the grants now due to charges in cities annt only up to .?!tOO within the bounds of the Province of Manitol)a ; this recommendation to bo re[)orted to the (ieneral Assenddy for its approval and to the Synod of Maidtolia and the Xorth-West for its informatiiui. The repiiit was received ond the above recommendations adopted. That the eourse taken by the Committee was the only one open to it is proved by the fact that even after making the deduction resolved on, there is a deficit of .'S0.J8.O7. Had the grants been paid in full, the deficit would have been $:{,712.32. Since the meeting of the Home Mission Committee in March correspondence has been held with the mendjors of the (lonnuittee in the several Presbyteries with a view to securing cimtributions from congregations which had given nothing to the Fund, and, further, in the hope of securing either from the Augmented Ccuigregations themselves or from other local sources the payment of the amounts deducted from the grants. The result of faithfid effort on the part of mend)ers of Com- mittee was that a good many congregations sent contributions before the Treasurer's books were closed, and that a good deal was accomplislied towards the making up of the deducti(Uis in a number of cases, as the f(dlowing memoranda will show.

Appendix No. 1. Iv. CONCLUSION. The foregoing pages contain such ample details of the work done by the Committee during the past year and tlie present condition of the funds that nothing further seems neceanary. While thankful for the most timely contributions and bequests received, the Committee feel that there are ample resources to carry on the great work of Home Missions and Augmentation within the presbyteries and congregations of the Church, leaving such contributions and bequests to meet special demands and emergencies. There should alno be a considerable working balance always on hand to relieve the Committee from the necessity of borrowing large sums of money in October, which must now be done, to meet the claims then due. Congregations can very materially assist ihe Committee in this matter hy sending on their cnntributions as they arc received to the agent of the Church, instead of withholding them till near the end of the financial year. All of which is respectfully submitted. BRANTKOun, J2th June, 1890. WM. COCHRANE, Convener Home Mission Committee, m Ivi.

During tlie past year ii fair degree of prosperity has crowned the work of tlie C'lnireli, under the charge of the Home Mission Committee, in the Maritiiue I'lovinces. More workmen tiian ever nefore •v{^\'(i engaged, — tiie figures for the last tlnee years being as follows : — 1887-8, 41 oatechista and 26 ministers, total 07. 1888-80, \\\ catechists and 85 ministers, total 78. 188!)-90, 49 catechists and 43 ministers, total 9'2. A good deal more money than ever before was raised for the work. In 1887-8 it was .80000.52, with §79.40 in addition for the North- West. In 1888-9 it was 87859.95, witli .S2.')4 in addition for the NortiiWest. Last year it was .*;7897..'{0, with an addition of .S34i:)()4 for the Xorth-West. Thus 811,816 last year, as against 88,114 the year before, and 86,680 the previous year, mark the growing liberality of the Church. The comnuttee is heartily tliankful for this m.mifestation of zeal, on the part of the people, in the evangelization of the country that is endeared to them by all the ties of home and kindred. The connnittce is d()ul)ly thankful for the patriotic and public spirit shown in the contril)utions to the North-West. To Dr. Robertson, as the means of calling it forth, too much praise cannot be given. His vi.sit was highly prized and largely blessed, and his ninnnei- of presenting his case captivated all who be'ard liim. The committee will welcome him whenever he can come again. As the hearts of tiie people are enlarged toward" the brethren in the North-West, they will not lie closed towards the needy ones at their iwn doors. This is pioven by the giving to the fund in the East, which was greater last year than ever. I'lie increase, it is true, did not (juite meet the increased demand. The l)alance of 8180, on hand last year, was consume 1, and the fund thrown in debt 8150 in addition ; so that ^880 more ihan was contributed should have come into the treasury. It is hoped, however, that this amount will be made up next year, but not at the expense of tiie giving to the North- West. To secure this, liowever, will call for careful teaching and planning, on the part of Presbyteries and Sessions. The committee trusts they will rise to the occasion, and make the coining year a large step in advance of tiie past. The committee has again to acknowledge its indebtedness to the churches across the Atlantic. The Free tMiureh of Scotland and tlie I'resbyterian Church of Ireland forwarded each a contrii)utiun of C.")0 stg. As thcr the future. In the presbytery of St. John, in addition to the men namwl, Mr, John Grierson, spoken of in last year's report, acted as a travelling missionary. He has done capital work in the way of resuscitating dying places, and of organizing them for new ettbrt. He visits tiie families most indefatigably, and inspires some of his own enthusiasm into those with whom he deals. The presbytery still employs him, and the coinmittee continues the grant of $.300 towards his salary. Last year it was thought best to decline the proposal of the Congregationalists to purchase their mission buildings in Labrador, and it was felt that the work there could not well be continued. But when Mr. W. J. McKenzie, who had spent 18 months on the ground, returned 4 ■H f , 4 ■'! ■ ■•1. • i !1 ■■■ii. !;1 it; iv Appendix No. 2. last fall, the uommittee hail before it his atatenient of the great need of the field, likewise the expressed dtsire of the Students' Missionary Association to continue the support of a missionary there ; and also, at the same time, an otler of the Congregationalists to hand over, free of charge, to our church, their mission promises, provided supply would he continued. The committee felt that necessity was laid upon them to prosecute the work, and to do so more etFect'vely agreed to accept the kind ofTer of the ("ongregationalist brethren, and also that of the students to furnish l)oth money and a man fur the work this summer, jt is now the pleasing duty of the committee to report that the deed of the property is held by the College Board in trust for the committee; and tiiat Mr. F. W. Thompson has proceeded to the field, as the agent alike of the Studentj' Association, which furnislies the funds, and of the committee, which has placed him, foi oversight of his work, under the care of the Presbytery of Halifax. Let the prayers of the church follow him to his trying hut deeply interesting laljors. In conclusion the committee desires to render devout thanks to the Father of mercies and the God of all grace for His abundant blessing on all tlie work of His servants. May His benediction rest on the work arranged for the coming year, and may His Church prove in some measure worthy of her high calling in this land, as the almoner of His gracious bounty, to the multitude^ hungering for the Bread of Life.

This fact, taken along with that shown in the tabulated appendix that $9500.00 will be needed to cover the expendituve of the present year, shews that a gross revenue of .§9800.00 will be called for this year to put everything on a satisfactory footini;. The Committee is not without anxiety on this subject ; yet it believes that when the matter is fairly laid before the .Synod some pirn .'an l)e devised to nu^et the ilemands and still retain the working balance in ^he Fiinil. Its hope lies not so much in the line of increasing the contributions to the Fund as in ilint of lessening the demands upon it. This must be done by a general advance in self support on the part of the siipplemented charges. In this way the salaries would not be lowered, wliilst the grants could lie reduced. Kightcen hundred dollars spread over 60 supplemented congregations only gives an average of .S30. 00 apiece. Of course this avciage cancot be always obtained, or even the proport'on of it which corresponds to the proportion of the present grant to the total outlay, but in ni.iny cases much more than that piopoitioii can be secured by the visitation of a Presbyterial, delegate who will lay the matter fully before the people iiiid canvass them either personally or by meinbeis of their own Conunittee.

APPENDIX No. I REPORT OF THE BOARD OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, HALIFAX, FOR THE SESSION 1889-90. Tho opening It'ctiiro was dclivorort by Principal McKiiiKlit, in Chalmers Church on Wcd- noRday cvcniiig the 4{li of Xovi-mlicr. Hi« subject was tlic Shcplicrd of Hcrmas. The attend- ance ((fintevLHter! friend.s was Idsfic. Dr Morton, just ready to return to his work in Trinidad, was presetit and addretised the students. The elosint; exercises were lield in St. Mattliew's Church ().> the evi ninjj: of Wedn, ^day, April ItOth. Addresses were delivered hy Rev A. Simpson und Rev. L. (f. Mui-ncfll. Tlie decree of ]?. D. wa.s conferred on J. A. Matheson. H. A„ who had just completed liis conrse, and on the Rev. ,lohii Calder. R. A., a frradiiate of last year. Roth ^entlemerii made very lui;h marks in their examinations. The degree of D. D. was couferred on the Rev. John Morton,, missionary in Trinidad. Twenty-eight regular stiidenis witli three general students were in fittendanee during th<' session, seventeen of tliese ivere j'luiors and -9 completed their course of study — the remaining 6 wore in their middle }ear and will it is hoped return nijxf session to Hnish their college studies and then go forth into tin* field. Sickness, mainly the result of the prevailing epirleniie, iirostrated several of the students for a time and interfered to some extent w'tli the > lasses. I.iit through the kind Providence of Ood all were completely restored to liealth and were enalih (t to complete the winter's work. The steward an<« of Christian Evidences was attended hy eight stu- dents. The class of Systematic 'Ihetilogy w«s attende .funior Hebri'W Class, consisting of I'ight stutlents, met every day. The whole of an Elementary (Jranimar and Reader was gone over twiei^ before the end of tlu> term. The Senior llebri^w Class, attended by .'•tudents of the Middli' and Senior Years, met three times a week. In Hebrew, selecfinus wen^ re.id from some uf the more difficult portions of the Ribb", and exegetical b'ctures wer(^ delivered on -iclected I'salms. In Chaldee, the class read parts ot Daniel, and srlcrtions from two of the Targums. To the stuilents of the .Middle and Senior Y'ears. iei I'.ucs were given twice :<. week on the textual criticism in 'he Old and New Testaments, hi dealing with th< O. T. text, the leading argu!nents of the new citical school, and tln' manner in which they have b'.'cn met, were indicated. The history of the transmission of the N. 'J' text was traced, thc> principles by which a ]iure text may be obtained were unfolded, and a comparision was instituted between the various critical texts Students of the ditrrent y<>nrs didivered (ireek and Hebrew Critical Exercises, which wero critii ised from the Chair. Tl'i- History of the Scottish Church, froUi the earliest jpcriod down to the complete estab- lishment of the Reformed Religi>>ii in S'otlanil, was studied in tin; Church History Class. Upon this subject lectures were n^ai! t', ice a week, and examinations held at the middle and (lose of the Session. The gcnerid liisfo!> of the Church, from the conuiiencement of the Christian Era down to the thirteenth Century, utis studied on iwu days of the week with the aid of the text-book. In tins part of the t'iass-work, special attiintion was bestowed upon the Controversies on the sulijerts of the Trinity, the two Natures of Christ and Rcdemptiun, belonging to the history of the third, fourth and tilth centuries. Critical lectures were read oni-e a week during the whole Session, on the last part of the Cospel account of the Life of our Lord, to Junior Stuilents. To Senior Students, two h'ctures were given each week in Pastoral Theology, and specially on the subject of Liturgies, which was considered more fully than in former Sessions. In this Class also were heard and eriti/.ed six lectiues and eight sirmoii.s upon pa,ssages (iri'viously prescribed. Examinations, both oral ami written, were li'ld upon the abov(! subjects, at the middle and close of the Session." The Senate were unable to make arrangements foi a teacher of Eloeiltion, but the students I'ormed themselves into a class,and received instructions with protvt from Miss MiOarry.

In this part of the Province, where tlie ^'nglish-Hpeakinf,' [leople are -o overshadowed by those of different nationidity, lanKuaKe, and religion, the importance of such a seat of higher learning, with its talented staff of I'rofessors, can hardly be over-estimated. The (lovernors have pleasure in stating that the College continues to stand in its former hajipy relations with Mc(!ill liiiversity. In virtue of its attiliation with that iu.-titution, the stuilents elf McuTin pass the same exannnations for the 15, A. degree on papers set and read jointly by tlie Pro- fessors of both Colleges. This nfYords a security for the value of the I'niversity course of Morrin ('oll"ge wliidi smaller Colleges do not often possess. The (lovernors feel that the importance of the siiherc occupied, and of the work done, liy this College, amply justilies them in expecting a .share of tlie liberality of the friends of Kducation, so that they may be enabled to further develoi) the efficiency of the College, by enlarging its staff and increasing its scholarships for promising students. The attendance during tlie past session was twenty-eight, of whom a number were young hulics, who are in increasing numbers availing llieiiisel\e» of the exceptional advantages otf'ere(i in this College for the attainment by them of a liiiversity education and degree. Four students graduated in Arts last A|iril, and one of these obtained the high honour of a "8|)ecirtl certificate of First Hank (leneral Htaiuling" at Mc(Jill I'niversity. In the Theological Department there were nine students ; of wlupm four were in the third year, three in the second, and two in the hist. One of the third year students was licensed and ordained a year ago bv special permission of the (Jeneral Assembly, on condition of completing his course afterwards, as he has done. Two of the others were duly examined and licensed liy the I'resliytery of (Jueliec, and the third passed the examination satisfactorily but preferred postponing license (or a short time. The Governors expect that in the near future the financial [losition of '.be ('ollege will be greatly imi)roved. Meantime, they have much plea.sure in acknowledging handsome donations for last year of .■^2,000 from Frank Koss, Ksip ; ^l.OfXl from John T. Uoss, Ksq., P...\. (a graduate of the College) and S1,0('(» fr'im Win. i{oss. Ksr|., London, Kng, with promises from each of like amounts for the next two years. With this accession to ineoine an additional professor has been apoointed for the iJepartments of Systematic Theologv, .Mental and Moral I'hilosophy and Logic. This appointment has been fully justified by the excellent work already done l>y Professor Macailam, ami the high standing taken by the students in his subjects. It is with great regret that the (Joverncn-s have received the resignation of the Itev. Dr. Clark, whose advanced years and prospective removal from C^iiebec have necessitated him to withdraw from the College work which was so congenial to him. Tho appointment of another Professor of Divinity is thus rendered necessary, and as Dr. Clark's services were given at little more than a nominal salary, a large increase of expenditure will be involved. The I\ev. A, T, Love, B. A., has been ai>pointed Professor of Church History and Pasttual Theology, with the cordial cou<'urrence of his Session and Congregation. As a student Mr. Love distinguisheil himself in the subjects falling to his chair, and his proved success as a teacher com- liined with the deep interest he takes in the work of the College warrants the (lovernors in believing that his accession to the Theological staff will greatly strengthen that Department. For the information of momliers of Assembly it may be mentioiieii that the Constitution of the College provides for the election of two (Governors by the Church, in the following terms: "Two ndnisters from the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, in connection with the Church of Scotland, to be chosen by the .Synod, on the second day of its annual meeting, and to hold otHce one year, an. I until others are .•ipfiointed in their stead" ; and that this right devolves upon the (leneral Assembly according to the Act of the Legislature of (^>uebec (.'i8 Vie., cap. ti'J), which declares that "all the rights of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, in coiinecli i;xrKNl)ITUIlK FJIOM .MAY l.sr, IKS!), TO MAY Lst., 1800.

Tiie Board of Manai,'euieat of tlie Presbyterian (^)llene, Montreal, l)e« leave to pre.Hent their re|jort for the year, tOrCether with that of the Senate, and in doin^; !«o wmld express their (gratitude tu the (ireat llead of the Chi.vch for the continued pio.ti)erity of the institution. The attendance of students has been the largest in the history of the (,'olloge, and the .icconi- iiiudation provided in tho buildings has been taxed to its utin'utt capacity, cjuite a number of student being unaljle to secure rooms during the gension. Of the e!t;hty-three students in attendance, eleven Completed their course, and have already been licensed to preaih the gospel. It will be observed by the accompanying statement of the Treasurer, that the financial position of the College has considerably improved since last rejjort. This is mainly owing to the receipt of twenty thousand dollars from Mis. Kedpath of Terrace Bank, .Montreal, which, together with the twenty tiiousand dollars contributed by her in 1881, makes forty thou.saiKJ dollars towards the endowment of the John Itedpatli Chair, her desire l)eing to [lermanently associate with tiie College the name of one wlio took a prominent part in instituting it. The conlial thanks of the Board and of the whole Church are due Mrs. Rednath for her considerate generosity. There is now to the credit of the Piry of the s])ecial Exegetical Chair subscriptions two years hence, and the gradual lowering of the rate of interest on investments, the Board have deter- mined, in accordance with the repeated recommendation of the (ieneral Assembly, to prosecute a thorough canvas on behalf of the Endowment Fund. Hitherto the support of the College iias devolved almost entirely on the City of Montreal. Being the Church's institution, it is most desirable that the opportunity be given our people throughout the Church generally of contriljuting towards its maintenance. The princely donations recently made to McGill University and the great expansion of the work there, will doubtless attract to Montreal an increasingly large number of students. A considerable proportion of the McGill College students belong to the Presbyterian Church, and many of them have the ministry in view. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the Presbyterian College, Montreal, should be maintained in a high state of efficiency, and the professorial staff increased without delay. The Board have had under consideration the question of an increase in the salaries of the Pro- fessors, and unanimously agreed to recommend the General Assembly to add $2.5tj per annum to the salaries of the existing staff. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. MoRRiCK, GhairvMH. Montreal, May '27th, iiOJ. J. Stirling, Secretary. Al'I'KNDlX No. n. li.

The fioard of Trustees submits the following Peport to the General Afsseinbly, with the Treasurer's Statements duly audited : — Four hundred and fifteen students were registered last session, of whom seventy-eight are looking forward to the ministry in connection with the Church. The names of those registered in the Theological Faculty are as follows :— Blnnie, James, B. A. (1) ; Boyd, John D., B. A. (1) ; Cattanach, James. B.A. (1) ; Drummond, D.

A., M.A. (3); Rattray, James, B.A. (3) : Sturgeon, R. J., B.A. (3) : W.ilker, K. J., M.A. (3), Two of those gentlemen Ifft the College in the course of the Se.ssion, without giving notice to the Senate, on learning that thoy could get the standing they desired only by special permission of the Assembly. They had been duly certified to the Hall by Presbyteries, but had not taken the minimum course in Arts prescribed by the General Assembly. This preparatory course for the study of Theology is not required, it seems, in all the Colleges in the United States. A third gentleman received conditional stariding, ami his case will come before the Assembly through the Committee on " Applications from Students." FINANCES. Last year we reported that the sum received from the General Assembly's College Fund was 91,612, instead of 82,819, the average for the seven years previous, or Si4,000, the amount asked for by the Theologicul Department. This year congregations have contributed $2,059.64. A very little effort on the part of our friends will double that amount, and when it is generally understood that the iFubilee Fund was raised for the Arts Faculty, we believe that the "ffort will be irude. (Queen's without a Faculty of Theology would not be recognized as Queen's. RENEFACTIONS FOR SCHOLABSHIPS. Several benefactions have been intimated during the year, in connection with the Theological Department. They inchide a legacy of 8500 by the late James Anderson of Acton, the interest to be given to a Divinity Student who "can preach m the Gaelic language ; a legacy of $1,000 by the late Hon. Alexander Morris ; and a foundation of $2,000 by Hugh Waddell, Esq., of South Monaghan, for ft Scholarship in memory of his mother, and to be known as "The Saran McClelland Waddell Scholarship." THK .lUBILEK CKLKBRATION. On Dec. 18th, 1839, a public meeting was held in Kingston, in response to an appeal made by the Supreme Court of the Church, to begin subscriptions to establish " a Presbyterian College and University." Though the decision of the Synod had been arrived at some months before, and the instittition was not opened till some time after, that date was considered suitable from which to count our beginning ; and consetjuently on Dec. 18th, 1889, a Jubilee Celebration was held, which was attended by the principal persons in Church and State in Canada, and the marked success of which showed how deej) are the roots which Queen's has struck in the country. On reviewing the history of fifty years and considering the present position of the I'nivervsity. the Trustees " thank God and take courage." KKMOVALS FROM THE ROARI) BY PHATH. The Board has lost its Chairman, the Hon. A. Morris, P.C, and one ot its most valued memlers, the Hev. Dr. Bain, during the past year. It is unnecessary to sj-eaU in this repott of the services renoered tc the College, the Church ami the country by those esteemed brethren, for these have been dwelt on in the public journals and they are well known to the General Assembly ; but as colleagues who long tested their worth, soundness of judgment, and fidelity to every call of honour and truth, we desire to put on record how much they are missed and how difficult it wil' be to fill theirplaces. 'Tlie Calendar may be had on application to the Registrar, Rev. Dr. Bell, In name and by authority of the Board of Trustees. JAMES MACLEXNAN, LL.l)., Chaiyman. J. B. McTVER (Kingston). SecTt-eas. ii.

Tlie Board of Maimgenient of Knux Collpge have much pleasure in reporting to the Assembly tha t the affairs of the Institution, an shown l)y the lieprtrt of the Henute and \>y the TreaaurerVi Sta tement herewith siibp'itted, continue in a prosperous condition. The accommodation for students in the Bnilding of ttie College has been taxed to its utmoat capacity, and many students, desirous of obtaining tho adviintageK of ttie residence, liave ))een obliged to seek for ipiarters outside its walls. The boarding arrangements continue as formerly tinder the excellent management of Mr. and Mrs, Fullart'm. The report of the Senate shows that the numlter of students in attendance on the classes of the College exceeds that of any former year. The Board have reason to l)elieve that in addition to the students, who have formally connected themselves with the College, a lai'ger number of stiidentft are at present in attendance at University College, Toronto, with u view to the ministry of the Presbvterinn Church in Canada than in former years. The Board and Semite are anxious to encourage students to obtain a I'nivcrsity Degree before entering on their theological studies, and are pleased to be able to reiMirt to the Assembly th;it many students are now adopting this conrse. The Board would I'espectfully urge on the Church the great necessity of maintaining in Toronto a Theological School in the highest possible state of etficfency, as from the growing imi>ortance and continued expansion of University College, a very large numlier of our students will seek their education in its classes. The iniiwirtance of this will be apparent when it is known that of tiic students attending University College a very large numlter are Presbyterians. Tlie Board regret that they are ealle I upon to transmit to the Assembly the resignation of Dr. (Jregg as Professor of Apologetics and Church History in the College. After a period of service in the Church of unwards of forty-three years. Dr. Gregg has been compelled to tender his resignation on accotmt of ailvaniHng years. From the terms of the letter of resignaticm herewith transmitted, the Board are glad to olwerve that Dr. Gregg is willing, should the Assembly see fit, to resume part of his work in the Theologrical Classes during the ensuing session, and also to conduct the Mathematical Class in the Preparatory CVnirse. The Board would recommend to the Asaenddy that, instead of accenting the resignation of Dr. Gregg, they would permit him to withdraw from the discharge of his duties as Professor of Apolo- getics, and to accept his offer to discharge the other part of tlie duties fulKlled by him in the paat, namely: those of P.ofessorof Church History, and to conduct the Mathematical Classes in the Prepara'-ory Course. The Board would further recommend the Assembly to order that the salary of Dr. Gregg as Professor of Church History be in future $1,500. The Board have reason to believe that such an arrangement would be entirely satisfactory to Dr. Gregg. The change in the salary of Dr. (Jregg, from $2,500 to Slj.'KK), together with the increased revenue of the College, as shown by the accompanying statements, will readily |>ermit of the appointment of a Professor to assume the duties of the Chair of Apologetics. The Board, after careful consideration of the matter, recommend to the Assembly that the Rev. R. Y, Thomson, presently Lecturer in the College on Old Testament Introduction, be appointed Professor of Apologetics and Old Testament Tiiterature, at a salary of .?2,.500.

The entire number of students in attendance during last seBsion was 101 ; of these 73 were in Theology, and 28 in the Preparatory CiaBses. The College residence, whioh acoommodates 76, was entirely occupied, while a good many who wished to reside could not find room. The num- ber of candidates for the ministry who are prosecuting their studies in Toronto cannot be defi- nitely stated, inasmuch as the College has no record of those who are not in any of its classes and who do not reside within its walls ; the whole body of students may be put, approximately, at 120.

The Senior Esegetical Class was engaged during the first term in thn study of the Pastoral Epistles and the study of selec- tions from the liooks of Psalms, Isaiah and Jeremiah during the second term. The Junior Class read in the Qospel of Luke and in the Book of Genesis, and beard a course of lectures on Hermeneutics. Biblical Criticism engage.' the attention of the Junior Class, first year, ou the Monday of eaob week. A Hebrew Critical Exercise was given in by each student of the third year, and a Greek ('ritical by each student of the second year. These essays were carefully criticised Dr. Gregg conducted the classes in Apologetics and Church History. Lectures on Apologetics were delivered to the students of the first year, who also prepared, homilies, which were criti- cised . The students of the second year were examined on a portion of Farrar's Lectures on Freetbougbt, and on Hodge's Chapter on Theistic Theories. Tbey also wrote essays on Apolo- getioal topics, whirh were criticised. The students of the first year heard lectures on the first eight centuries of Church History, and those of the second year ou the later history of the Church in Great Britain, Ireland and Canada. Dr. Maclaren conducted, as usnal, the classes in Systematic Theology. Tbo Senior class (second and third years) met five hours weekly, and the subjects discussed were Election, i'reation, Providence, Origin of Man, Origin of the .Soul, Trichotomy, Man's Original State, The Fall, Original Sin, The Covenant of Grace, The Person of Christ, His Oflices. Under the priestly office the Atonement was carefully considered. An hour weekly was devoted to the study of the Confession of Faith. The Junior Class (first year) met four hours a week. The topics discussed were Inspira- tion, the Rule of Faith, the Attributes of God and the Trinity. "This class also gave an hour weekly to the Confession of Faith. Dr. Proudfoot, whose labours were confined to the first term, delivered twenty-seven lectures on Church Government and nine on Pastoral Theology. He heard and oriiioised thirty-five dis- courses, and pre^-oribed forty-six texts for next session. The Rev. H. Y. Thomson, B.D., reports that in the department of Old Testament Introdnc- tion and analysis lectures were delivered four times weekly to the students of the second ami third years. "These embraced a general consideration of Prophets, Prophecy and Wisdom Liter- ature, together with a special introduction to the prophetic writings of the Old Testament and the Books of Proverbs, Ecdesiastes and Job. A short course of lectures was given to the stu- dents of the first year, embracing subjects connected with the Old Testament generally. Elocu- tion was taught by Professors NefT and Bechtel, of rhiladelphia, and examination held at the close of their term of lectures l-RBPARATOKY DKi'ABTMBN'r. Mr. H. £. A. Reid, B.A., was re-appointed Tutor in Greek, and .Mr, J. W. McMillan, B.A., was appointed Latin Tutor. * Messrs. Burgess, Cooper, Home, Hannahson, J. L. Johnson, W. R.

The Tutors report faithful attendance and diligence on the part of the student!. Dr. Gregg conducted a class in Mathematics for the benefit of the .Junior students. The librarian. Rev. J. A. Macdonald, reports that the students are making increasing use of the library. Upwards of 50U volumes were taken out during the session. Since last yaar 450 volumes have been added to the library ; mostly by purchaHe, though several lots were donated. Among the purchases are sets, nearly complete, of the Uatnpton and other important leoturei. The Consulting Department has been freely used during the session, and the Senate's rules reapeoting it carefully observed. The librarian, in order to secure the Consulting Department against loss, reiiueata authority to close it during summer. The College Societies maintain their usefulness. There has been, if possible, increased interest shown in the public meetings of the Metaphysical and Literary Society. Mr. John Crawford, B.A., is succeeded in the Presidency by Mr. 'Thomas M. Logie, B.A. The Missionary Society, of which all the students are members, sends out men to home delda for the Bommer, and the interesting and encouraging reports which Mr. Goforth eends from Honan still further quicken the zeal of the College in regard to foreign work. The Saturday Conferences were well attended throughout the session. The subjects discussed had all an intimate relation to the work of the preacher and paatoi, The College is indebted to Principal Grant and Messrs, Gilray and B. N. Grant for very valuable addresses given at these Conferences. The College has been visited somewhat severely by the influen/a epidemic, but we record with gratitude to God that out of so many cases of illness— some of them eerioua — no one has been fatal. The attendance on classes and the study accomplished have necessarily been a good deal affected, and several students have been unable to take the examinations, in whole or in part. The final B.D. examination was passed by the Rev. John McGillivray, B.A., and the degree conferred upon him. The first examination for 1>,D. was passed by the Rev. W. H. Jamieson, Pb.D.

APPENDIX NO. !K MANITOBA COLLKCiK. !&•;?- HKPOUT OK THK BOAllD OK MANAOEMKNT OF MANITOBA COhLKUK KOK THK YKAK 1889-90. The Board of Managiment of Manitoba Col'egb begs to submit to the Ueneral ARHembly a report for the past year, and also to transmit the report of the College Senate. Such matters as the number of students in attenuujce, the work accomplished during the i^eseion, and the honours gained by students at the examinations, both in the College and in the Uuiverftity of Manitoba, are so fully dealt with in the report of the Senate that further reference to them is unnecessary. A detailed statement of the funds connected with the College, dniy audited, is presented herewith. The thanks of the Board are heartily given to the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, the Church of Scotland , and the Free Church of Scotland for the continuance of the generous donations made by them for several years past. A donation of $250 from the congregation of the American Presbyterian Church, in the City of Montreal, is also most gratefully acknowledged. The Board would also record its grateful sense of the liberality of John Watson, Esq., of Perth, Scotland, for an unsolicited donation of $500 to the funds of the College. The congregational callectious for the year in Ontario and Quebec have been smaller than those of the preceding year ; those of the Maritime Provinces have been slightly in advance. The Hoard is thankful that the current expenses have all been met, and that, after applying out of ordinary revenue ^1,205.20, in reduction of the debt at Dr. Beid's office there was, when the accounts of the year ' lused, a balance on hand slightly Inrger than that with which the year began. The total receipts for the Ordinary Fund, including the balance of ^75)). 37 in hand at the beginning of the year, have been $15,8i')8.1H, and the expenditure has been 1^16,009.34, leaving on hand 978K.8'1. The result has been secured only by a continuance of tlie most careful management on the part of the Principal. Last year the debt was reported as $10,023.65, made up of indebtedness at Or. Beid's office on account of the Ordinary Fund and the debt to the old Endowment Fund for an amount used for building purposes. This debt the Board has not succeeded in entirely removing during the year, but it has been largely reduced. The indelitedness to the old Endowment Fund, $.'l,5 ject up at the point where Mr. Thomson had stopped. This class was attended by all the stu- dents and met four times in the week. This class was also instructed in Church History during a part of the time by Mr. Baird. The \lev. R. Y. Thomson, B.D., gave, from the opening of the session until Christmas, a daily lecture on " New Testament Introduction," dealing specially with the Gospels. Mr. I'homson, in addition, gave very valuable assistance in the .^rts classes. The Senate would again bear testimony to the groat value of Mr. Thomson's services to the College, and to the generous spirit in which they were rendered. Written examinations were conducted on the various subjects of study, both at Christmas and at the close of the session. The written exeroistm required by the Church-Sermons, Leo- tnies and critical Exercises were read by the students aad criticised by Dr. King. The following scholarships and prizes were awarded in connection wi^'h the examinations :— TO THE STCDENTS OF THE FIBST XKkV, The " John Watson" .Scholabship, $50 — Thomas Beveridge, B.A. The " RoBBBT Anderson " Prize, S20 — Richard Weir.

A larger number of them than usual have the ministry in view, and are studying with a view to take a full course in Arts, preparatory to entering on the study of Theology. Dr. Bryce has continued to teach all the Natural Science subjects. This includes in the Honour course practical work in qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis, Mineralogy and Geology. The two senior years received fr' m him instruction in Physics ; the Previous Year in Chemistr}', and the Preliminary in Botany. He also took the higher critical work in the English Classics, and on account of the pressure on the staff, the previous and preliminary Enclid. Professor Hart has continued to teach the Classics and French in the subjects both of the special and the general course. Six students read with him this year the work embraced in the former. The students of the previous year, to the number of eighteen, received instruction from him both in Classics and French. Mr, Baird has continued to divide with Dr. King the teaching in the German of the Modern Languages course. He has taken also the classes in Logic, both in the special and general course. The other branches of the Mental and Moral Science coarse have continued to be taught by Dr. King, who however, received important assistance in this department from the Rev. Mr. Thomson daring the former part of the session, while daring the latter part, the students of the Junior B.A. Year were aided by Mr. Wardlaw Taylor, B.A., a former honour student of the College in the department of Mental and Moral Science. It is proper to state that a commencement has been made in inter-ooUegiate instruction. Three students of this institution in the special Mathematical coarse were instructed in the sub- jectB of this course in Wesley College, while two students of Wesley College received instruction, one in Classics, and another in Mental and Moral Science, from Professor Hart and Dr. King, respectively. The College has again enjoyed the services of Mr. A. M. Campbell, M.A. He I^as given instruction in Algebra, Trigonometry, Statics, etc. Most of the teaching in the English branches health preparatory course also devolves on Mr. Campbell. The restoration of Mr. Campbell's of the is a matter of much thankfulness to the Senate. Mr. Munro, B. A., and Mr. R. Paterson, of the senior B.A. year, also gave instruction to some of the junior classes in French and Latin respectively. The need of some additional assistance in overtaking the work of an institation embracing a full course both in Arts and Theology must be obvious. In the present state of uncertainty, how- ever, regarding the future of higher education in the Province, and in the absence of any good prospect of meeting the expense connected with a permanent addition to the teaching stafiF of the College, the Senate is not prepared to recommend such an addition to the General Assembly. It desires simply to have continued to it the power of securing such temporary assistance as the funds at the disposal of the Board may seem to warrant. At the date of the last report the examinations of the University of Manitoba were in progress. As a result of these seventeen students of this institution gained scholarships ranging in value from $100 downwards. Five medals were gained by them, and fifteen students of the College were admitted to the degree of B.A. ; a former Btudent to that of LL.B, The societies connected with the College — the Missionary, the Y.M.C.A. and the Literary — have been in efficient operation throughout the session, and have all of them served important ends. It is a matter for thankfulness to God that the Senate has again to report that the health of the Professors and the students has been well maintained throughout the session. One student, indeed, Mr. J. S. Barkley, much beloved and exemplary in all respects, was removed by death after a brief iilness. The attendance on the classes at one period was also shghtly diminished by the prevailing epidemic. The Professors, however, have been able to meet their classes during the session with the interruption of scarcely a single hour through illness. JOHN M. KING, Principal. Winnipeg, May Uth, 1890.

During the past year the New Hebrides islands were brought regularly within the circle of commercial countries by the establishment of a line of monthly steamers between Melbourne and Sydney, in Australia, and the principal islands of the liroup. The Austra- lasian United Steum Navigation Company a few years ago began running a fortnightly service from .Sydney to Fiji, via New Caledonia, with every alternate steamer calling at one of the southernmost parts of the Now Hebrides uroup. It was only necessary, in order to reach all the islands, to add to this an inter-island boat, that would call at all the Mission stations and connect with the steamer of tbe main line monthly at Anolgauhat or Havana Harbour. The Daijsprin'j Board entered into a contract with the steamship company for this puqoose, and agreed to pay the company £1,500 stg. for tlie service rendered to the Mission in carrying passengers and goods from Melbourne or Sydney to their destination on the islands, or from the islands to either of these cities. Of this sum £2oO stg. were contributed from oar Daijspriiic Fund. This is the same amount that was formerly paid for our share of the support of the Daysprhu), and is just our fair proportion of the expense, as we have one-sixth of the whole stall' at present on the islands. This line of steamers is also subsidized as mail boats by the Government of New South Wales. At present this arrangement is only an experiment. It is eagerly watched, in hopes of very beneficial results. It should add not a little to the comfort of the missionaries, as it gives them a regular monthly mail and rapid communication with the outside world. It should also do much to develop trade, by stimulating the natives to produce articles of export and thus help to bring the i)eople under additional civilizing influences. Of course, the arrangement with the steamers made the service of the JJayspriiuj unnecessary, and she has been chartered for other work for the present year ; but she will not be disposed of till it is seen how the experiment with tlie steamers will turn out. She made two trips from Sydney to the islands ; going on her return trip the last time to Dunedin, New Zealand. This detour considerably increased her expenses, but was thought to be in the interests of the Mission. There has been a good deal of '"nterest in the Mission fostered and sustained by means of the Dayspriwj and previous Mission vessels. She has been a m\ Appekdix No. 10. Bort of visible emblem, particularly to the children, who have year by yuur collected and contributed tu her 8up)>ort, uf the Quspel of i'eace working' among the Imni^htod idolaters. Their imaginations have painted bright pictures of her carrying the messengers of Life to the perishing and dying. If she is given up, we shall part with her with regret, for she has thrown something of poetry and romance about the work ; but, at the same time, the monthly steamer will, we are convinced, serve all ends much more perfectly. The Mission Synoil met in the Mission Church, Kwumera, Tanna, on the 28th of June. There wore nine members in attendance. Of our own stati, only Mr. McKenzie was present, Mr. Robertson being absent on furlough and Mr. Annand detained in Santo, as he explained by l»)tter to the Synod, on account of the illness at the time of his wife. The following subjects were referred by the Synod to your Committee, and wore answered as below indicated : — Ist. The construction of a lar<''ir Mission vessel. To this the Committee replied, that in its judgment the arrangements mf a montlily steam service, since effected, supersede the need of a apscial vessel, and will bo found more .serviceable. It is believed that the Synod will, at its next meeting, bo of the same opinion. So far as appears, the Synod, at its last meetiDg, was not aware of negotiations being then in pro^'russ for such an arrangement. 2nd. The draft of a written constitution for tlie Synod. This.wus generally approved of, as being quite in harmony with the principles of Presbyterian government. One exception, however, was made. It was to the proposal to create a court of appeal for tho Synod, consisting of representatives, one appointed by each of the several churches engaged in tho Mission from tlieir own or any of the said churches. This was objected to, on account of the distance of some of tho supi)orting churches from the .Mission rendering it impossible for them to appoint one of their own number as a member — whilst, if a mem • ber of some of the other churches was chosen, the charge of partiality made against tlie existing system, 'which recognizes each mouiber as subject to the supremo court of his own cliurch, would not in the least be removed. Tho Committee does not think there is any i»round for such a fear, and, therefore, recommended that the present system be contin- ued, and referred to the existence of the Presbytery of Trinidad as an illustration of its successful operation. 3rd. A roiiuest to the Conunitteo to co-operate witii thu Synod in petitionim; the Government of Queensland to carry out the resolution that what is known as the Kanaka labour trathc should cease in 1800, notwithstanding tho declaration of the recent Sugar Commission of Qaeensland that the use of Polynesian labour should be permitted for sonic time further. Knowing how seriously this traflic has affected our Mission, on account of the cruel manner in which it has been carried on and the conse(|uent sufl'ering entailed on the natives, the Committee heartily agreed to petition the Government of Queensland not to allow its continuance, which was accordingly done, Last year was tho jubilee of missionary ettbrt in the New Hebrides. In November of 18!5'.>, the aposth) of Polynesia, .lohn Williams, gavo'liis life in an endeavour to pioneer the gospel of Jesus Christ in these islands. The story of the work since then is one of thrilling intoiest, and every church that helped it forward has been highly honoured by her connection with this Mission. This is not the place to give the history, but some of the results may be stated. The whole of Aneityum has long been a Christian land ; and now, at seventeen more stations, on ditlerent islands, there are many worshippers of the true God. There are eighteen missionaries and about 140 native teachers working on twenty of the islands. Concerning the fruit of their toil, for the last year reported, we cannot do better than quote the words of the Mission Synod : — "Taking all things into consideration, very satisfactory progress has been made during the past year. The reports from the islands of Futuna and Tanna, these two vi AlM'KNDIX No. 10. fields on which the wm-k hiw hitherto mot with so much opposition, are especially interesting and cheorini;. It is encouraging also to note that the violent opposition of the people of Meli to tho rccoiviiif^ ot teachers, or other attempts to introduce the gospel, is bienking down. Steady progross has been made at Erakor, Nguna, Tongoa and Epi, and at tho last mentioned station large numbers have been baptized and received into the communion of tho church. There are some toktns of eiicouragoment also at Malekula, whore it was anticipated that the work would bo of a peculiarly difHcult nature ; and at the two most northerly stations, Malo and Santo, the work is encouraging and hopeful. It is with peculiar delight and gratitude to God we place on record that through the labours of Messrs. Mackenzie and Macdonald the whole of tho New Testament has boon translated into the Efatoso language, being jM-inted by the British and Foreign Bible Society and ])lacLd in the haniis of the natives." Wo may well exclaim, us we think of this Mission Synod meeting for business uninterruptedly during eight days in one of its own churches on Tanna, "What hath (Jod wrought /" Ho hath stilled the adversary and avenger. He hath answered tho prayers of His servants, sometimes it would seem by terrible things in righteousness, i)ut during these recent years by bringing peace to His people and multiplying them in their rest. That the good work is still going on hopefully appears from the rejjorts of our own men, extracts from which we here subjoin : — ,. v«t*- MR. KOBKRT.SON's RKPORT WRITTEN FROM HYUNEY, AUSTRALIA. I wish to ask that all who have boon, or are now supporting my teachers, wouM do mo just tho great kindness of writing us a few lines as they may have time, giving full address, and that so far as they may be able they will continue to helj) ns in this groat and good work. Several friends have discontinued sending their annual $'25, and small wonder when I never wrote to thank them. But, oh, if I could now tell them how full my very heart has always been, and still continues to be, of tho deepest gratitude to them as well as to many who still send us help for my Teachers' Fund, that would be to me a great pleasure. But 1 cannot get the time, and it is better to be frank at once. However, now that we have a monthly mail service, 1 am resolved to attempt frequent short notes instead of long annual reports. Mrs. Robertson and myself, our youngest child (a little airl of three years) and the native nurse expect to get away frcm Sydney early in May, if not by the end of April. We will get to Erromanga in May, if we do not stop at Aiieityum to attend Synod, which meets at Mr. Lawrie's station (late Dr. Geddie's), about tho litth June. For some time while here I engaged to visit congregations and Sunday Schocds in town and country, and seek to stir them up in reference to Foreign Mission work gener- ally, but specially in relation to the Church's work in the New Hebrides group of islands. I worked for nearly six months for the Heathen's Mission Committee and they paid all my travelling expenses and gave me something besides. As I was most kindly received by ministers and other friends wherever J went there were no hotel charges to pay. It would be vanity in me to say 1 did much to foster a missionary spirit and active work and more liberality during those months. It would also be vanity to say I did nothing to accomplish such a spirit, such work and such giving. When I began work the Committee was £700 sterling in debt. At their last meeting they had a balance on the right side. I am thankful to know I did something to bring about this good result. I travelled by train, buggy, (as they call a waggon here) or in the saddle, saw much of country and enjoyed the society of many ministers and ministers' families and laymen, who now are among my many missionary and personal friends. I travelled as far as the border of Victoria and saw its snow-covered mountains. Our three daughters, Chrissie, Nellie and Annie, are at Miss Ellis' school, about Appendix No. 10. VII. throe miles out of Sydney. Ciunlon, our sun, is in the Cooenvull Acudutiiy on the Hlue AfountainH, and nhnut 100 miles went of Sydney, while Mrs. Ilobtirtion, our youngest child (Maheli and I are boardini^ in Hydnoy. We kejjt houHo until about three weeks u>^i> ever siuco we came up to Auatniiia, hut on i{ivini< up Mr. Murray's houso, I was anxit)U8 that Mrs, Robertson shouM be free from tlie care of a house for a few nioutlm before we return to hard work a^rain, and niiicli constart care of sj many people and schools, as well as our own house on Erroman<;a. As a family wo Iiavn been very well, except Mrs. Hobortson, who for tour months was seriously ill at Parramatta. Indeed, for two montlis I was alarmed about her, for with the fever she Iiad a most trying coiigli. IJy (lod's bioBBin},', careful nursing and medical treatment she is now (juito better, tliongh siie will never bo strong again in a warm climate. 1 enjoy oxcollent health, and as tor our children they are in perfect health. I hoar regularly from my elders and teachers on Erromanga. The work is pro- greasing well ; but alas, the death rate still continues high. Since I loft, many have died, including teachers and Natai the chief of Portnaravin, our East Station. Natai was .0 tinost man on East Erromanga since the noble line of brother chiefs at Cook's Bay, the Natais, Novnlons and Lifus, all gone since our settlement. How wo miss them. God seemed to raise them up to stand before us in the tirst and dark days of sutt'erings and toil, and this Natni came to the front at their death, and has been with im sowing and reaping. But their work is done ; and of their happiness now I have not the shadow of a doubt. Others will doubtless be brought to the front now to take their jilacos, but those who were bora and who lived for thirty or forty years in heathenism, seem to make brighter ChristiaTis. Tliey felt the curso of heathenism and they rejoiced in the freedom from it, and in the liberty and blessedness of the (lospel. Those born in Christianity know nothing of the woes of lieathen darkness and cruelty, and are not hiiif grateful enough for their privileges. The workers, however, are removed, but the work goes on. Dr. Steel received a short time since from my dear friend, Mr. Hugh Barnett (Messrs. Harnett & Son), of (Jlasgow, il45 sterling, proceeds of sale of Erromanga arrowroot. Tliink of that ! In addition to the work above described, Mr. Robertson, while in .Australia, is getting a portion of the Scriptures printed in the language of Erromanga. MU. M.'.CKKNZIK .S UEl'OHT. •XCi It is with gratitude to God for His great goodness to us that I send you my report of another year's work. We have had no hurricane, and native food has been abundant. For some months wo weio in dread of a drought, and of a failure of the yam crop in conse- quence. Such fears, however, have been dispelled, and we are now having a rainy svatiou in earnest. Our own health has been fairly good, but there has been a good deal of sickness amongst our natives, and several deaths have occurred. At one time we felt somewhat anxious as to the result of an attempt on the part of the settlers, the majority of whom are French, to form this side of our island into an independent municipality, to be called Fraiiccvilh: So far their independence has not been acknowledged by either Britain or France ; but had it been, there is no telling what the effect would have been on our work. But for the present the dark cloud has been scattered. As for several years past a large portion of my time has been devoted to my training class. This is a very important department of our work, as there is now such a demand for teachers, so many new stations having been opened up recenth'. It is cjuite impoa- aible for a missionary to get along without this agency. At present we have nine teachers Vlll. Appendix No. 10. \\i ■Miti and their wives liisiatinK in the work, on isUmdi to tiie north of ua, und there are applicatiuuB for many more. Throe of the above wore sent out thii year and two others wore settled in a distant part of our own held. I wish here to make grateful mention of the kindness of Mr. HinKley, of Oxford, who, after supportiuK a younx mnn for three years and now settled at hit own villaf^e, has undertaken the Hupport of another. I have also much pleasure in informing you that a contribution of a hundred dollars came very opportunely to hand, just after I had admitted several youn^ men to the class, but having no idea of the source from which their support was to come. The most interesting event of the year was the placing of the New Testament in Efatese in the hands of our people. For the present the liritish and Foreign Uiblo Society has borno the expense of printing, but we lioiie to bo able to refund tlie whole amount in the course of a few years. A short time ago we sent away by the Daijsprinij nearly three thousand pounds of arrowroot, and if wo receive anything like a fair price for it, we should realize about a hundred pounds (£100) sterling. This is much the largest contribution our natives have ever made in one year. In addition to this, thoy sent thirty-four pounds, twelve shillings and eight pence (t'34, 128. 8d.) to Mr. Morrison, for the Foreign Mission Fund of our church. Considering their nuuiber, our natives have, we think, done very well this year. The various classes have been kept up regularly, viz., thut for the candidates on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Mrs. Mackenzie's classes for women on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, also her school for the children of our nearest neighbours, as well as our usual adult and ciiildren's schools. Tue work amongst the "omaining heathen is much more hopeful than it was when I sent you my last report. \ve now visit Meli regularly, and tor some time have not met with any open opposition. In the early part of the year their opposition was very violent. On one occasion, as the teachers approached their village, a number of them rushed down to the beach, armed, and threatened to murder the tirst one who should land. Not long after this one of the chiefs, who had never manifested any hostility, came to Fila, when some of the teachers just referred to asked him if he would be willing to receive a present in order that ho should allow them to land on his side of the little island (Meli). When those hostile heard that ho received the present, they were very much enraged at him, and threatened to drive him away. Ho replied that he was ready for them whenever thoy wished to make the attack. There was nothing more done, however. Shortly afterwards one of those most opposed came to me, complaining that by giving that man a present we were making him a higher chief than the others ; I replied that such was not the case, but tliat it was merely to be allowed to land on the island, and that if he would be willing to receive a small present wo would give him one too. I then explained to him that our object in going to his village was not to prevent them from engaging in their feasting, etc. , in which their hearts are so much set, but to toll them God'fi great love in sending His Son to die for sinners, and that when they understand this they will of their own accord, like the other villages, give up their old ways. To this he assented, and since that he has been much more friendly. The only other part of our side of the island still heathen is Imtang. You may remember that when some dozen or more natives of that district renounced heathenism, tliree or four years ago, they were obliged, on account of the opposition of the heathen, to move to Erakor. I took two of these into the training class, with a view to sending them back as teachers, so soon as God in His providence should open the way. We visited them from time to time without much encouragement. Early in the present year, Art'ENDix No. 10. Ix. howuvor, wo found that it ohnngu liud come over aoino uf thain, and when two of rlioiu drivun nway roturnnd in the capacity of teaohur*, the friendly ones luitplied them with food and assisted tliem in erectiin{ a house. And one of them did more than this, he vave a ])resent of pij/s to two of the principal men of the village who were still hosHle, and who cau'o to the teachers threatunini; to spear them.

ANNANDS RKI'OKT. , t In submitting to the Foreign Mission Oonunitteo a report of our second year's work on Santo, we are called upon to acknowledge the Lord's goodness. His hand has u)>held and protected us. He has led us in ways that we knew not ; and we tiust that in some small measure He has used us as His instruments in His glorious work. We have no great results of our labours yet to show. The foundations are still being laid u|)()n which the cdilico is to stand. However, wo have no reason to bo discouraged with what wo sec. As much success has attended our efforts aa can reanonably bo expected from the short time that we have be^n hero. Two years and three months' residence am(mg a paguii people of an unknown tongue cannot be expected to produce much chani^o. Our station is, however, the centre of inrtuence for good. Kvery month that inHuenou is enlarging and increasing. It is a place of peace, so that in coming to it, most of the visitors even leave behind their weapons of war. It is a place where people come for help in times of sicknesH, ami when sutlering from wounds and sores. To us also they come for aid when their wmnen and boys are stolen away in the semi-slave trade of the islands. Throe Santo lads who were wanderers have found a home with us. Only yesterday a lad came applying to bo rcceiveil by us. .\fter fulfilling his throe years of service with a French- man, instead of being paid and returned to his home, ho was kept on at work for another year, at the end of which seeing no ho))e of payment or returning home he ran away and finally reached Tangoa penniless. He and one of the other lads are from the west side of Santo. In brief, our home is an oasis in the wilderness of barbarism, and an example of civili/.ation and religicm to those sadly needing such. During the past year many improvements have been made about the station. Several acres more land have been cleared and planted with a fine variety of ct.uch grass which forms a lirm sod and keeps down weeds and bush. Every acre cleared and grassed gives us so much more freedom from fever miasma, hence the expense incurred and labour expended are far from being thrown away. Another improvement effected is that six lime cottages have been erected for the teachers and servants ; also a substantial boathouso with lime walls and iron roof. Our little church has also been comfortably seated, the planks for which were sawn by hand in the woods. This much has been done in the way of health and comfort. In the more direct work of imparting Gospel truth much also has been done. In this department, however, unskilled labour avails but little, hence this has devolved almost wholly upon ourselves. Two services are conducted every Sabbath in Tangoan. Hymns are sung, prayers offered, and the Word proclaimed in audiences ranging from fifteen to eighty. For the last three months the average has been about sixty. All the men of Tangoa village excepting four attend church more or less regularly. All who come dress decently, and their conduct at service is commendable. Sabbath is only partially observed, but very few of the people here now go to their plantations on that day. Their own holy day, everij fifth, is largely disregarded now. We have morning school five days each week but the attendance is not good, and consequently the progress is slow. Our preseni teacher came only three months ago, and X. Appendix No. 10. not knowing the language can s;ive us little help yet. He is from Erakor. W'o hope soon to fjet a second from Mr. Mackenzie. To-day I made arrangements for beginning Sabbath services on the mainlaml. Our literature is yet very scarce. I am now expecting a fourteen-page addition to our first book from Sydney by the Ikiiiapring. This is composed chieHy of Scripture extracts and hymns. Every Sabbath 1 read a chapter— or a part only, if loi.g — of the Gospel by Matthew. 1 have translated and coi>ied out Matthew as far as the 44th verse of the 27th chapter. I do not propose having it published until it is carefully revised and corrected. (Who will bear the expense of publishing it /) In regard to health we lave had a fair measure, luine has been good tliroughout the year ; but for some months Mrs. Annand sutt'ered considerably from fever, neuralgia and nervous prostration. However, she is now about entirely free from fever and neuralgia, and has gained much strength, so that duty is again a pleasure. I have finished Matthew, ready to revise it. P'or the last two Sabbaths I have held a service in an old dancing ground on the mainland, with an audience of twenty-two yesterday. II.— TRINIDAD MISSION. A number of changes have taken place in the personnel of this Mission. When last report was submitted Couva was vacant, and a student, Mr. Simon A. Eraser, had gone out to assist the labourers on the ground in giving it supply. This work he performed, while necessary, to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. Mr. and Mrs. Morton were obliged to return to Nova Scotia for the summer on account of the ill health of the former. He visited, on his way homo, Clifton Springs, in the State of New York, and derived much benefit from his treatment in the Sanitarium there. He passed through Toronto and some other western cities, and set before the people, as opportunity presented itself, the work among the Indian immigrants in the West Indies. It was August before he reached Nova Scotia— still weak, though much improved in health. His main purpose was to rest and regain strength for further work in the Mission, but his active nature would not permit idleness. He visited many of the churches and was present at the meeting of the Synod in October, at Pictou. Mrs. Morton not only accompanied him, but made several independent visits, and everywhere stirred up an increased interest in the work. They returned in November, biit not alone. The long called-for missionary for Couva had come forward iti the person of Mr. F. J. Coffin, a native of Prince Edward Island, a graduate of Dalhousie College and a divinity student of the Presbyterian College, Halifax, and the Seminary, Princeton. He was accepted by the Committee, at its meeting in Pictou at the time of the Synod ; was intro- duced to and welcomed by the Synod, and was ordained and designated to his work, at the request of the Committee, by the Presbytery of St. .lohn, which had a short time before licensed him to preach the gospel, and which looked forward to him as a co-presby- ter, as he was under call to one of their vacant charges. They cheerfully gave him to the Church at large for the work in Couva. Nor was he the only fellow-labourer of the Mortons to accompany them. During the summer intimation came to the Committee that both Miss Copeland, of the San Fernando School, and Miss Semple, of Priiicestown, woulU retire in the autumn. To fill their places Miss Graham and Miss Archibald had been obtained, and went forth in contpany with the returning missionaries and Mr. Coffin. Successful farewell meetings were held in Truro, Halifax and St. .John, at which the missionaries presented, with great effect, the circumstances and claims of the Mission. Early in December, the company landed in Trinidad in good health and spirits. Mr. Coffin was inducted into the charge of the Couva station. Miss Archibald was placed in Appendix No. 10. XI. charge of the school at Princestown, and Miss Graham of that in San Fernando. Reports of their work have since beon received, which show that the Committee was happily guided in niakint? choice of them as its agents. The Mortons, on their return, resumed theii- work with all their old time ardour and avidity, and with new plans for compassing mucli before the night comes on. iMiss Blackadder had returned in July, and was found with apparently a new lease of life at her post in Tacarigua when the others arrived. Thus the Mission start" was again complete. But no ! there was one sad blank ! Mrs. ^laciae, who had thrown her whole heart into the work along with her husband, and was becoming thoroughly acijuainted witli the methods of successful instruction, was taken suddenly sick in September, and .after a few short days of suflering was called to her everlasting rest and reward. Her sorrowing husband went bravely on with his labour — providing as he best could for the care of his little two-year old hoy, now left motherless. He has the deepest sympathy ui the Committee and of the whole Church. The Lord will fulfil to him His promise, " I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." For years members of the Mission Council in Trinidad liave been reminding the Conmiittee of the necessity of providing means for training a native ministry. Last sum- mer the matter was seriously considered, and it was agreed to appoint a fifth missionary assocm as practicable, to be at the disposal of the Council for tlie accomplishment of this work, in the way their judgment may decide as best. It is expected that the new mis- siona'-v, who is to be sent out this fall, will be able to relieve one or tsvo of the older missionaries, so that they may devote a considerable time to the work of training native agents. The future growtli of the Mission must depend largely on the development of native talent and liberality. Hence the great importance of the step now taken, which the Committee now feels assured, will have the fullest sanction of the Assembly and the Church. Three Hindoos are now working under the supervision of the Council, viz., Rev. Charles Ragbir, who is stationed at Diamond, one of the outlying sections of Mr. Grant's field. The people raise £20 for his support and the Connnittee grants this year £90. Rev. Lai Bihari, who is Mr. Grant's assistant, and has a salary of £100 and a house, and C. G. Soodeen, whose labours are divided as occasion requires between the Princestown and Tunapuna fields, at a salary of £100 and a house. Reports from these brethren were received at the close of the year, and are of the most interesting character. They show how diligently their work is carried on and how thorough has been the instruction which they have received from the missionaries, and which they are now in turn impart- ing to others. The principal parts of their reports .are as follows : — REPORT OF REV. LAL BIHARI. In January, 1889, the Mission Council put me in Couva. I lived in San Fernando and had a season ticket by railw.ay train so that I used to go four or 3ve times weekly. That district is about ten miles long and four miles wide. I suppose there are 10,000 Indians, and perhaps 200 who profess the Christian religion. I did my best to show the people God's way of taking away sin and saving the sinner. Everywhere some would listen thoughtfully. When Mr. Fraser came my visits were less frequent, and in September month when Joseph Ann.ajee was appointed there I stopped going and just returned back to my usual work with Mr. Grant. Mondays and Saturdays are usually very hard days with us. The people get their pay on Saturday, once in two weeks. The Colonial company and Mr. Liimont's estates may pay one Saturday, Sir Charles Tennant's, Mr. Cumming's and others may pay the next. So that on Monday plenty people come into the town to make market. xu. Appendix No, 10. The Christian people, even if they have no business, like to call and we like to see them. If they have any troubles in their home they come to tell us of them, if they are a little sick they come for medicine, and many other things too. But both Christian and heathen people come to get letters addressed to India. This gives a great deal of work, but it gives us a chance to do good. In this way the poor people know us well, see our books and often buy them. If they have not money enough to buy, those that can read get something that shows the true way. The immigration agent told the Governor what we are doing to aid the people in writing to their friends, and on the 5th of February the Colonial Secretary, writing Mr. Grant, thanked him and his staff for this kind and gratuitous service, and added : " I am j directed by his Excellency to take this opportunity of thanking you, not only for your \J service in this matter, but also for the very efficient and valuable aid which has been afforded to Indian immigrants generally by the Canadian mission in this Island." On Saturday usually twenty people attend the class. We are usually four hours . together. It is my part to take the report of all the meetings addressed during the week and to note all cases of interest spoken of, and if there are any candidates for baptism all the helpers hear about them. We follow throughout our whole district the internalional system of Sabbath siihuol lessons. Last Sabbaih we had our Lord's temptations, and tliis year we are trying to master St. Luke's Gospel. In this way our people come to know the Bible, and if they are strong in God's holy word the}' are generally good Christians. If they are ignorant we can't trust them. After explaining the lesson we call one man to tiie platform and all the rest in turn put ([uewtions. When he fails to answer he sits down, and whoever put him down goes to the platform. This part is lively, pleasant, and makes everybody sharp. I am only telling you about our part of the work. You would be sorry you asked me for a report if I told you all we try to do. We try to get one day in the week, but unless we get sick we work every day. My countryman, Mr. C. Ragbir, has taken one district in which there are four preaching stations oft" our hands. This is a great help. Perhaps if Mr. Grant s plans are carried out, other districts will soon make congregations. This will give us great joy. We have still twelve stations, and on Sabbath Mr. Grant goes one way and I another, and througli the week we go everywhere. There is only one thing we need to turn many and that is the presence of that Spirit that came down eight days after Jesus went up. Our prayer is, O Lord send us Thy Holy Spirit. We owe very much to the Presbyterian Church in Canada. May ynir Church iind that it is even more blessed to give than to receive. REl'OKT OF KEV. C. (.'. KAOBIR. The first of the year I was removed from Couva to the Oropouche district, pouche is about eight miles from San Fernando and forms a nice field by itself. There are three preaching stations, Oropouche, Rusillac and Fyzabad, Oro 1. Oropouche. — Two services were held in the churcli, at 11 a.m. and (5.30 p.m. Large numbL'rs of the Hindoos from Bellevue Estate and the village attended the eleven o'clock services. In the evening tlie number of the Hindoos was not very large, but o nice congregation was formed of the Creoles and the young Indians of the village. The evening meeting was short and simple. A short address was delivered in Hindu- stani and also English. We held a service of song the first Sabbath evening of every month, and it was well attended. \rw\^ ^' '^^ i» r Appendix No. 10.

OENKRAL REPORT OF MISSION TO INDIAN IMMI0KANT8, TRINIDAD, 1889. At the close of the year the Mission Council reports with gratitude to Almighty God that Rev. John Morton, who left on furlough in May in ill-health, has returned restored ; that the Rov. F. J. Coffin has arrived for the Couva field, and Miss Archibald and Miss Graham to replace Miss Semple and Miss Copeland, whose term of service had expired. The number of schools in operation during the year has been 38. On the roll there were 1,448 boys and 012 girls, total, 2,000— with an average daily attendance of 1,433. Couples married, 3.5. Number of baptisms, 110 adults, 101 children ; total, 211. There are now 412 communicants in good standing. The accounts submitted and audited show only one district in debt and a balance to credit on the whole mission of ^50 IBs. 2d. With sadness we record the death of Mrs. Macrae on 8th September, and express our sympathy with her husband here and friends in Canada. We close with thankfulness for tokens of blessing during the year, and for assurances of increased interest in this Mission on the part of the Church in Canada. TW1:NTY-SEC0ND annual report of the rev. J. MORTON, TUNAP0NA. From January till May the work in Tunapnna district was conducted by myself on the usual lines. A teachers' house was erected at St. Joseph and a school-house at St. Helena, where a school had been opened in a rented room. The buildings at Tacarigua and St. Joseph were also painted. (3n the 11th of May we sailed for Canada on our usual furlough, the state of my health makiiii; any postponement unwise. After a summer of much comfort and enjoyment, with restored health and with spirits refresliod by what we had seen of the life of the Church in Canada, we returned to Trinadad December 5th. During my absence the work on this district was entrusted to Mr. Chas. C. Soodeen who'was made Secretary to the local school managers and managed all the funds. Twenty years before he became my first Indian teacher, and it was with confidence I left him my locum Uiiwns. I have groat pleasure in roporting that I found the work in good order — the teachers satisfied and the accounts correct. The uniform testimony is that Soodeen laboured faith- fully. He evidently commanded the respect of the other workers of the community. Over ^3,200 passed through liis hands and I found his books in order, his vouchers ready, the balance at the bank correct to a cent. The attendance at the schools for the year was as follows ; — Tunai)una . Tacarigua . . AroHca . . . . St. Joseph. •Oaroni Man»ica , , . St. Helena. C Grove . , Bed Hill.. Koi -r.. Ave, B. G.

This shows an increase of 92 on the roll and 81 on the average attendance over 1888. There were five couples married and 15 adults and infants baptized, and the number of communicants in good standing is 40. Besides smaller donations which appear in this year's accounts, I have to mention with special thanks a donation of $76 from Jas. S. Douglas, of Edinburgh, and another of 83 JO from the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of Canada (W. Div.). These favours enabled me to open the school at St. Helena, and yet close the year with a balance to credit. NINTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OV REV. K. J. GRANT, SAN FERNANDO. Much of our work has been carried on in the lines of previous years, and hence we assume the Church's acquaintance with it. On April 1st, Canaan and Cedar Grove Schools were transferred to Government, and now form one scliool under an English certificated teacher and an Indian assistant at Canaan. This was done with the con- currence of Mr. Lamont, the proprietor of this and neighbouring estates, tvho was then on a visit to the colony The school opens for secular instruction at 9 a.m. At 8 a.m. many of the Indian children assemble in the infant class-room for instruction in Hindi and for religious instruction in the nindustani language ; this instruction has been given, not by the assistant teacher, but by a Catechist. The same method is pursued as nearly as possible in other Indian Schools formerly transferred to Government. This arrange- ment gives to Government its legitimate part of the work, whilst the Church does not neglect her part. By a special Government grant to advance school work amongst the East Indians, we were enabled to open four schools in February : three were in remote districts, and of these one was closed after working for seven months, in consequence of the excessive rainfall, which so inundated the district, that the only way to get to the school-room was in a canoe. Your missionaries think it quite practicable to work with the Government in the matter of education, as in secular instruction there are no con- flicting antagonistic interests. We are willing, as in ^he past, to do pioneer work, or accept aid even for a short time from Government though there be no guarantee of its con- tinuance, feeling confident that His Excellency the Governor and those around him in Council are concerned for the education and well-being of the people. If the civil authorities were unobstructed. Government schools would be provided everywhere, with facilities for the ministers of religion to supplement the secular work with religious instruction. The Central School, so successfully conducted for five years by Miss Cope- land, is now in the hands of Miss Graham, and we have reason to believe that its reputa- tion will be fully sustained. A new Education Ordinance will be in operation shortly, but we as yet have no certainty how it will influence our work. We have confidence however in the spirit of fair play that marks those who make our laws. The accompany- ing list of schools shows sixteen under our care, with a roll of 877 pupils and a daily average attendance of 577. Services are conducted every Sabbath at sixteen diffi i-^nt sta^.ons. During the year 53 adults and 66 children, total 100 received Christian baptism. Couples married, 14 ; communicants now in good standing, 261. Tlie contributions of the Native Church for the year amount to ^267 14s. 5d , as per financial report. The Central Sabbath School particularly is largely attended and conducted with much spirit. Our Penny Savings Bank is doing very well. It is opened to every section of the community every Wednesday eveaing for an hour, and the deposits of an evening frequently amount to $75. This institution, together with all financial matters pertaining to the congregation, is carried on by the young men of the Church in a business-like way. A. Riddell, Esq., is superintendent of the bank. At an annual congregational ineeting held on Christmas morning there was much to gratify and cheer. A presentation vas made by the Hindustani-speaking portion of the congregation to the Rev. Lai Biliari, Appendix No. 10. Xlll. //. Ruxillac. — This station ia four miles from Oropoucho, toward the Pitch Lake. Services were held every Sabbath at. 8 a. ni. The meetings were well attended during the dry season. The school was not aatisfactory. Bad roads and rice planting kept many of the children away from school. Ill, Fy-Mharl. — This station is about the same distance as Rusillac is from Oropouche. There is a large settlement of Indians. A great deal of the land is cultivated by them. Rice, corn, cocoanutsand cocoa are the principal productions grown by them. They listen to the glad tidings of the g(j8pel vary attentively. Preaching services were held every Sabbath at !) a.m. The Christians gathered at half-past eight and kept a prayer meeting. Large number attended every Sabbath. The school was carried on by two of our young men and it was a success. This is the most promising section of this district, as there are large numbers of people leaving the estates and making Fyzabad their permanent home. There is a great deal of superstition among the heathens of this and the neighbouring settlements. There is an imago erected by tlie Roman Catholics. "The Queen of Heaven" it is called. Large numbers of those people actually believe that she is from heaven and is able to grant their petitions. Thousands of people from all over the island come to worship her, bringing their offerings of oil, silver and gold. This is one way by which the Church of Rome obtains money. How can we toll the heathen that " Thou shalt have no other gods before me," ' when those professing to know the Bible would make gods of their own imaginations and sot them up to be worshipped. Knowing God, they have glorified Him not as God. In the eight months of my stay in this field I held 00 preaching services on the Sabbaths, 124 gospel meetings were held during the weeks and C30 calls made. A nice pulpit was built in the church by the Oropouche Christians. There was one marriage, three adults and four children were baptized. In the month of May I was taken with fever, which lasted for some time. On two occasions tho Rev. K. J. Grant kindly relieved me from work, thinking that a change might be beneficial. I felt much better while I was away, but on my return to the district I was again prostrated with the same complaint. Two doctors were consulted, and at their advice it was necessary that I should be removed from Oropouche. Had it not been for my ill health I would have willingly remained at Oropouche and carried on the work there. In September I removed to Diamond Village. This is a rapid growing place, and i* tho centre of fine sugar estates and three Indian settlements, Couva Hill, Congo Village and Barrackpoor. There are hunilreds of Indians who make these settlements their permanent homes. There are five schools in this field. Five services are held every Sabbath. Last Sabbath forty-five children were present at the Sunday School. Saturday, I was asked by Mr. Grant to give scmie instruction in church history to the teachers and catechists of San Fernando field. Such of the class as read English use " Wharey's Church History." I use " Kurtz Church History "' and the Outlines of Church History by ,J. F. Hurst for my text books. There is an attendance of about twenty every Saturday. I have a night school for young men and it is well attended. Tliere is a great deal to bo done in this field. " Truly the harvest is plenteous, but tho labourers are few." A catechist is needed very much to carry on go8i)el services at Golconda, Retrench and Esperance estates. Six have been baptized and one couple married. In the course of a few weeks there will bo several baptisms and marriages. We are greatly indebted to the Church of Nova Scotia for the interest manifested in the Hindoos of this island, and we hope and pray that this interest may grow deeper and deeper until the Indian population of this island be wholly converted to Christ. II XIV. Appendix No. 10. KKl'OKT OF C. C. SOOOEKN. I beg to report that from the first of the year until the end of April, 1839, I laboured in the PrinceBtown district. My regular S.ibbath work consisted in holding a service at eight o'clock in the morn- ing in the Cedar Hill hospital about three miles distant. Sometimes the indentured immigrants who camo there for rations on Sabbath mornings come into the hospital, .'nd thus increase the audience to fifty or sixty. I returned to Princestown in time to assist in the S.abbath school there at ten o'clock, and in the Hindustani service at eleven o'clock. At throe o'clock in the afternoon I accompanied Mrs. Macrae and Miss Semple to lere Village, about two miles from here, and assisted in the Sabbath school there, returning in time to get ready for the evening service. During the week I visited schools to catechise the children in their Scripture lessons, etc., visiting also the villages and estates wherever two or three could be found, and going from house to house saying a word here and there. 1 alwaj's made a point of going to the estate hospitals where a number of patients are generally found, and very often the people from the barracks come in and thus a good audience is secured to sow the seed of the Kingdom. In this week day work I sometimes accompany Mr. Macrae, and at others go alone. Sometimes we both go out for the whole day into the settlements in the woods and speak to the people from hut to hut. There was also a weekly cottage prayer-meeting started and kept up every Monday night. In May, when Mr. Morton went to Canada, I was transferred to his district, where regular service was conducted at eight different stations, viz., Tunapuna, St. Joseph, Caroni, Tacarigua, Arouca, Mausica, St. Helena and Elsocoro. At Tunapuna I conducted Sabbath school at ten o'clock and service at eleven o'clock. The other stations were supplied alternately by myself and Mr. Paul Bhukhan ; when he went to Caroni, St. Joseph and Elsoco'-o, leaving me free till ten o'clock, I went either to St. Augustine Estate or Macoya Estate hospital. When Mr. P. Bhukhan was prevented from going to Mausica, he held a service at Red Hill. Ajodhya conducted a meeting a St. Helena. Ramjidas sometimes accompanied me, 5ind at other times he went himself to Curepe Estate or Village. During the week my work consisted in visiting schools, estates and villages. Sometimes Mr. Bhukhan accom- panied me, especially to places which I did not know. On Monday night a cottage prayer-meeting was held at Tunapuna, conducted either by myself or Mr. Geofi'roy Subaran. On Tuesday night a prayer- meeting was held in the school-house at Arouca, and a cottage mesting on Thursday night, conducted by IJr. P. Bhukhan. On Wednesday night I conducted a prayer-meeting at St. Joseph. Alfred Ram|)arsad kept a night school at Tacarigua every evening. When Miss Blackadder returned a prayer-meeting was also started at Tacarigua on Thursday night. On Friday night a prayer-meeting was held at Tunapuni. About the middle of December I returned to Princestown and resumed my usual work. The Committee has pleasure in announcing that the Rev. Mr, Grant will this summer return to Canada, for a few months, on furlough. Ho has been steadily at his post for five years without change or rest, and greatly needs a little quiet and a taste of his native air. The fifth missionary will probably start from Nova Scotia in time to supply his place for a portion of his absence. The Church will gladly welcome him to her homes aid pulpits, and hear with new interest from his lips the story of spiritual want and work on i>he island of his adoption. m Api'KNDIx No. 10. XIX. Tho number of oaptisnis for the year is 37 — '20 adultfi and 17 children. Five couples were married, 19 names were added to the communion roll, while thiee were removed, making the number of communicants in good standing 63. Wo record our sincere thanks to the ladies, societies. Sabbath schools, Bible classes and private individuals for donations and clothing, whose names are submitted in my financial statement, and to friends in Canada and Trinidad for many expreesions of sympathy. During the last few months of the year the Lord's hand was laid heavily upon us. On the 8th September my beloved partner in life was called to her rest after a brief illness. Tho hardest lessons, however, are intended to yield the best discipline. In this case we bow submissively to His Sovereign will, listening to the rod and jiim that hath appointed it. KEPORT OF COUVA DISTRICT FOR 1889. By Biv. K. J. Grant, of San Ftrnando. At the beginning of the year Couva work was entrusted by Council to Babu Lai Bihivri and myself, and the finances were assigned to Mr. Morton. A missionary was expected at a very early day, but in this we were disappointed. The action of the Board, however, in sending out Mr. S. A Fraser and allowing him to remain until the appointment of Mr. Coffin, was judicious. Mr. Fraser laboured with much zeal and acceptance. On the .5th of December Mr. CotKn arrived, and on the 8th was duly inducted by the Presbytery of Trinidad. He takes up tho work in hope, and it is the prayer of many that his ministry may be long and prosperous. Early in the year a school was opened at Chandernagore, provided for by a special grant from :,'overnment. At Chaseville an assisted school was opened and a school house provided, the cost of which is included in the Couva accounts for the yenr. Several native helpers were added to the working staff. This class is indiBperisabk- to success in our mission. School Roll for year 262 Daily Average 162 Baptisms, adults and children " total Conununicants in good standing Mari'iagea 11 XX. *.

Negotiations with the Mission Council of the Presbyterian Missionary Society of Demerara were carried on during a considerable portion of the year, with a view to arriv- ing at a mutually satisfactory plan of co-operation, in the support of a successor to the late Mr. Gibson. Mr. Morton was appointed a deputy to visit the field, and confer with the brethren there, and give his matured judgment on the whole situation to the Committee. As he was ready to start early in January, the following communication was received from the Secretary of the Council. " After due deliberation, we have come to the conclu- sion which has been forming among us, that we can not see our way to engage another mis- sionary to succeed Mr. Gibson. We find that it is impossible for us, in justice to our other enterprises, to undertake that responsibility. I may however state that, as the West Coast Parish is vacant through the resignaticm of Mr. Ross, some menibers of the British Guiana Presbytery are bent upon securing, as his successor, a man who will thoroughly interest himself in the work begun by Mr. Gibson, and who will sup- erintend the work of Coolie catechists and schools. Mr. Muir, one of our ministers, has alrecdy carried on a work of that kind in his parish, with consjjicuous success. I am personally of opinion that work among the Coolies can best be carried on by the employ- ment of catechists, under the minister of the parish. There is thus an immense saving of labor and expense, and no possibility of any two men, of equal ministerial standing, com- ing into collision. It is not improbable that our work among the East Indians may be TAL. 1. d. :i 3 (5 8 2 9 4 2 7 t> 1« 2 11 .'1 •> 12 4 « 8 Appendix No. 10. xvn. valued at $25, and to myself and wife one of even a more substantial nature which, apart from its intrinsic worth, I greatly value on other grounds. More important, however, to the work was a resolution passed at the meeting, to surrender all contributions from country stations, that such sections might benefit directly by all tliey may raise for religious purposes, the San Fernando Church engaging to make good, single-handed, all obligations to the Foreign Mission Board in the matter of their missionary's salary as promised. The heartiness and unanimity shown was particularly gratifying, and as a result we are now able to define what we believe will be the congregations of the future. In the district there will b> seven of these in addition to our Central Church. 1. Oropouche, From this centre Rusillac and Fyzabad stations are wrought. It was hoped at the beginning of the year that the Rev. Charles Ragbir might have been psrmanently settled there, but trc(|Uont prostration from fever led to his removal after a trial of eight months. Another agent has been appointed who enjoys health and is working satisfactory. 2. Diamond. Rev. C. Ragbir removed to this rapidly growing village in September, and is now in good health. The proximity of this place to Picton and Wellington, large estates of J. Cumming, Esq., render it an admirable centre. 3. La Fortune, the property of Messrs. Charles Tennant & Sons, makes a third suitable centre around which we expect the people of four large estates to rally. 4. Canaan, the property of Mr. J. Lamont, similarly situated, with six estates in the neighbourhood, will form a fourth. 5. The Usino Ste. Madeline, the property of the Colonial Company, and the seat of the largest sugar refinery in ...lo colony, will form a fifth. Here a suitable house for worship is much recjuired, but I will not venture to place it in the estimates for the year. G. HaruKjny Hall, belonging to the same Company, with Bonne Aventure (Messrs. 'Pennants) will afford ample scope for a sixth. 7. Pointe-a-Pierre, embracing several estates and small communities, may form a seventh. In each of these districts we wish to place a responsible man, and we are prepared to furnish men if we can get the means to support them. Our desire to provide for these districts in a more systematic way accounts for the increase in our estimates for next year. With Oouva provided for, we hope to concentrate our energies on our jwn district without distraction ; and with dependence on Him who alone can give the increase, we confidently anticipate results as such we have not yet seen. Messrs. Cumming, Tennants, Lamont and the Colonial Company continue their generous aid and the friendly relations maintained with those in authority on estates, and their readiness to cooperate call for gratitude. Our thanks are due co many friends and societies for donations whose names appear in our financial report ; had it not been for their timely aid, wa would have closed our accounts with the burden of debt with wliich wo began this year. Special mention may be made of those outside the constituency of your Board, namely, Mr. W. S. Robertson, of San Fernando, Mr. J. G. Douglas, of EtUnburg, a few ladies, per Miss Starke, and Erskine Church Sunday School, Toronto ; Cooke's Church, Kingston, and the Woman's Foreign Mission Society of the Western Division. It is gratifying to be assured of the sustained interest of the Church at home in this Mission, and the Board may bo confident that it will be our constant aim not to allow any abatement of that interest. THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF REV. WILLIAM MAORAE, PRINCE.STOWN. The work in this district has been carried on much in the usual way. There are now three sections of the field in which there are regular services, held the same hour as r xvni. Appendix No. 10. that hold in the Centml church in which the Christian iwoplo from thuso ilifforont places formerly worshipiied. It was feared that the absence of these people would bo felt by rendering our congre- gations in Princestown very small, but happily their places are beinj,' filled up by others. On Sabbath afternoons the most of our youni; men go out to the ditfoicnl estates and villages holding meetings as opportunity affords. The English service in the evening is gradually bec' ming moro important. A number of Presbyterian friends in the neighbourhood have united their interest with ours and are thereby a source of strength to us. Mr. Soodeen was absent for about seven months in Tunapuna. Our force was thereby weakened and .Tames Tools'«— one of our elders — was employed to assist us in the work, and has proved himself a faithful helper. The school work has been a little in advance of last year. A speciiil effort on a small scale was made to get a larger attendance of girls. Nothing is more essential to the for- mation of Christian homes than Christian mothers. Hence the necessity of getting a greater hold of the girls than we have yet succeeded in doing. Miss Semple, who left for Canada on the 19th of October, has laboured for nearly three years in this district with much faithfulness and success. She excels as a teacher and possesses in a marked degree the faculty of teaching scriptural truths, and we trust the labours in this respect will long continue to bear fruit. On the 0th December Miss Archibald took up the school work and taught for about two weeks when tlie school was closed for Christmas vacation. She enters on her work with much promise of success. A commodious school house, which also serves for a place of worship, was erected at Len^ua in the month of March. Since then the school has shown an increase in attendance. A building for the same purpose is required on Ben Lomond estate. Hitherto we have e; .eavoured to bring the children from the estate to Mount Stewart school, but without success. Mr. White, the estate attorney, has kindly ottered us the use of a site for a building, and the Mission Council has now the matter under consideration. A school has been started on Lothian's estate, taught by one of the assistants in Princestown school from two to five o'clock. Mr. Brash, the estate manager, has kindly given us a room. As there is a large number of children on the estate it is now felt to be of sufficient importance to make it a regular school. On Saturday the usual instruction is given to the teachers and catechists, which take.i up the greater \ irt of the day. SCHOOL STATISTICS. Name of School. Princestown Mt. Stewart Riversdale . .

They live in little communities suiroundod by white men, and no scheme that can ho c'eviaed can keep them from learning the white man'n langiiaf^e and his ways. The (lucstion is, under what auspices shall they learn J It is of tiie hight-at importance that in the days of their tutelage they should bo preserved as much as poitsible from the operation of harmful influences which in later days they may become wise enough to understand and strong enough to resist. In former days, before the advent of white men in considerable numbers, the Indians lived by hunting, and most of those in the North- West by the hunting of the buffalo. That means of support they have now lost, and they are pensioners on the bounty of the Canadian nation. No robust Christianity can ever be developed in a people who live on what comes to them in the guise of charity. It is more important here then than in most missions that civilization should go hand in hand with christianization. Those who yield themselves to the uplifting influences of the new life must learn the lesson of self-support for themselves and their families if they are to give room for any large growth in Christian graces. With these principles in view, and those circumstances in which to apply them, our Committee, while mindful that the work of every missionary society is to preach the Gospel, has endeavoured to keep in view that the prci)aration of the soil and the pro- tection of the tender plant are anterior, and subsequent operations scarcely less necessary than the supreme central obligation. The industrial boarding school system has been extended so that there are now seven of them in the North-West, all established within the last five years. In these schools the children are clothed, lodged, fed and educated entirely under the care of the Church, and by agents appointed by the Church, part of the cost being borne by the Government, to the extent of $00 per pupil per annum. The ordinary branches of an elementary public school education are taught, special attention being given to training the pupils to use the English language familiarly in speech. Religious exercises hold a prominent place both in the school and home-life of the children, and such work about the house, garden and farm as they are able to undertake is per- formed by them. It is the aim of the Committee to increase the facilities for this manual training in those schools which, being recently established, have but imperfect means of availing themselves of this method for preparing the pupils for useful citizenship. STONY PLAIN. This school lost everely a year ago in the destruction by a prairie fire of the school- house, stable and workshop, including Mr. Anderson's tools, which he used in teaching the Doys carpentering. The school-house has been replaced by the Government, and the tools by the assistance of the Commercial Union Insurance Cti. (although not technically liable) and the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. In addition a new building has been erected, which increases the capacity of the mission house so that it can accommodate about fifteen boarding pupils. The school in April of this year passed from the status of a day school to that of an industrial boarding school. During the last quarter in the d.ay school there were twenty-six pupils on the roll and an average attendance of seventeen. The Church is again under obligation to the Ilcv. D. G. ^^c^^neen, of Edmonton, for services always willingly given and often at considerable inconvenience, especially in con- nection with the erection of the new building, the extremely moderate cost of which and its substantial character boar testimony to Mr. McQueen's careful management and to Mr. Anderson's skilful workmanship. Such hours as the latter could spare from teaching he ungrudgingly gave to carpenter work. MISTAWASIS. Mr. McKay's mission, the legitimate successor of that which was founded by the Rev. .James Nisbet at Prince Albert twenty-four years ago, withdrew before the encroachment XXIV. Api'KNDIx No. 10. iN of white autttori and is now eatablithod on a reserve leventy miles west of Prince Albert. In this out-of-the-way place the Indians are less liable than those of most of our missions to many of the temptations that come from close proximity to white Hettlements. Mr. John McKay rujoices especially that "there is no vvhiitkey north of the Saskatchewan." Thuru is but little external change from year to year in such a chari^e as this ; but none the less are there potent influences at work, and the old Chief Mistawasis is a living; refutation to the tli])pant jibe that the only |,{ood Indian is the dead Indian. Mr. McKay reports that there have been thirteen baptisms of Indian children during the year and three of adults, and that the church is tilled with an attentive audience every Sabbath. The congregation contributed !i<10 to the schemes of the Church. The day school under the charge of Mr. McKay's dau^'hter has according to the latest returns thirty pupils on the roll, and an average attendance of twonty-twu. MUSOOWPBTUNO'S. Mr. Moore holds services at five places, one of them being a Half-breed settloniunt adjoining the reserve. The average attendance at each of the places is seventeen. There nre thirty-two ccmimunicants on the mission roll, of whom fourteen are Indians, iiim- Ilalf-breeds and nine whites. Thirteen were added during the year. Seventeen children and thirteen adults were baptized. Two Sabbath schools are maintained, one having an attendance of seven and the other of fifty. The mission has contributed $75 to the schemes of the Church. Mr. Moore devotes much of his time to the industrial boarding school, which has been very successful in his hands. For the last quarter there were fifty pupils on the roll, and an average attendance of thirty-five. The school has been crippled during the past year by want of accommodation. Arrangements were made for the erection of a building last summer, but unforeseen difficulties arose in regard to the site, and the building sea.son was past before these were settled. A commodious stone building to accommodate forty pupils will be erected this summer, and the school will in this respect enjoy advantages that have hitherto been beyond its reach. ROUND LAKB. In Mr. Hugh McKay's school for the last quartei there were forty pupils on the roll and an average attendance of twenty-four. There are twel ommunicants on the roll, of whom four were received during the year. Two children were baptized and eight adults. A new building was erected last summer, the ground floor of which is used as school-room and the upper floor as a dormitory for boys with a bedroom for the teacher. A widespread feeling of regret among the friends of the mission was caused by the death in February of the Rev. B. Jones, who for the past three years had been connected with the mission — a man of unostentatious piety, of loveable character and deep sympathy with mission work. He held a secure place in the esteem of all who in any capacity came into contact with him. Mr. McKay writes that the work in the mission field has had difficulties as well as tokens of good. Regular services have been held at the mission, also at Yellow Calf's and Se-so-pe's, at the agency, at Gaddie's, at Ke-wis-ta-haw's, at Oo-cha-pa-way-sis' and Kennies'. He says : " At some of these meetings we had as many as seventy, at others as few as ten. We have a Sabbath school with an average attendance of fifty. We take up the regular lesson, passages of Scripture are committed to memory by the children in the Englisli language, while the older people are taught in their own language. "Six of our scholars have professed faith in Christ and received the ordinance of baptism, two infants have been baptized, four of our scholars have united with us in our communion, and four others will likely soon follow. ...

At the last anniversary (tho 13th) held on *26th and 27th September in Chariot cetown, P.E.I., tho cradle of our Maritime Province Foreign Missions there were reported 90 Auxiliaries and 40 Mission Bands. Six Presbyturial Societies have been organized, and others will be ere long. Since the Annual Meeting 10 new Auxiliaries have been fijrmed, principally i»i New Brunswick. The whole income of the Society reported for the year, 85,4(>2. Tho membership is Hearing 4,000. In addition to paying the salaries of the lady teachen* in Trinidad, and supporting two catechists in St. Lucia and Demerara, it was agreed to grant StIOO to Mrs. Morton's work among the women at Tunapuna, §300 for a catechist to the Rev. O. A. Laird in Cott^'s Reserve, $250 for a second catechist in St. Lucia, and 8400 towards a new church at Armia, all to be subject to the approval of the Foreign Mission Committee. The presence of our esteemed missionaries, the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Morton, from Trinidad, and of Mrs. Ewart, Toronto, the indefatigable President of the Western Divi- sion, lent an additional interest to the Oharlottetown mooting. An edition of the Report of 7'^ pages has boon published large enough to furnish a copy to every family belonging to the Societies. Tho President says: — "Those, of us who are endeavouring to obey the Lord's command to send the Gospel to all nations, and for that purpose have joined this organi- zation, which year after year is recommended to the women of our Church by the General Assembly, are finding that through it a spiritual blessing, rich and precious, is coming to our own souls. It is teaching us to study God's word and promisv's, and to extend our sympathies, jjifts and prayers to our unknown sisters who need thoiu so much. Thus our • knowledge is being increased, our love extended, and our faith strengthened. Do we not also tind our annual gatherings a benediction / How many precious friendsliips have been formed at them, and how many souls have been quickened through their devotional exercises ? One sister says, ' I consider it a duty that wo owe to our families that we some- times go to a missionary meeting in order to broaden our ideas of life, that we may have a bettfar influence in our homos than we could possibly have if every day we simply drudge.' Even our bodies are benefited by hearty devotion to a grand cause. It has been well said, ' Some noble enthusiasm outside the treadmill of daily life is a wonderful XXll.

The total expenditure for the New Hebrides last year was $0,506.98. For Trinidad and St. Lucia, $13,314.80. The rest of the money expended on that Mission, which is over $13,000 more, is raised principally in Trinidad — the Goveinment giving for the support of schools $7,1C0.60; estate owners and white residents, $4,177.21 ; native Christians, $1,924.22 ; total $13,262.12. The Committee desires to express its thanks to all the contributors, and to urge upon them still greater liberality, in view of the pressing demands of the fields. The mission- aries are obliged to limit their expenditure, on account of the stringency of the funds, whereas, had they abundant means at their disposal, a very great expansion of work w ould be made. It is true there is a balance to the good of over $5,000, but it must be borno in mind that when last year's favourable l.alance is deducted more than all the remainder came in from bequests, which cannot be counted on, year by year, as a source of revenue. Then next year 81,4C0 will be needed for tte Trinidad fifth missionary's salary, so that the scale of liberality must rise, if all demands are to be met for the next year. III.— MISSION TO THE INDIANS OF THE NORTH-WEST. From the beginning the work of our Church in carrying on missions among the. Indians has had two main elements, the directly evangelistic which proclaims the Gosjel to old and young, and the educational which aims at training the young in the ways of Christian civilization. There are undoubtedly communities in other lands in which the missionaries of our Church are at wori;, where it is possible to evargelize the people and develop in them avry considerable ucgree of Christian life without interfering with their language or changing materially their means of livelihood ; but that method cannot bo pursued among Appendix No. 10. XXVIl. trust the Lord will lielp us to carry this out." This prayer is being fulfilled. Part of tlie material for the new church ir. already on the ground, and the Indians have promised to prepare and bring the rest of the material as soon as the hurry of the seed time is over. BIKTLE. This school is not situated on a reserve, but adjoining the town of Birtle, and draws its pupils from the neighbjuring reserves, which are under the care ot the Rev. Mr. McArthur and the Rev. Mr. Flett. A letter from Mr. McLaren says : " Regarding the work done at our school, I don't know that I can say any more than what has already appeared in our quarterly reports. " We have about twenty-eight pupils, but one or two are generally absent visiting their parents ; the average is thus considerably reduced. We conduct the work of the school- room very much as wo would any public school ; we teach the same lessons and use the same methods in doing so. Our hi'.;hest class is the third, but the boys and girls of this class attended other schools before coming here. Thay read fairly well, write very well, and can work accurately the simple rules of arithmetic with pr\ctical ijuestions. Indian children as a rale are bright, and learn to read, etc. , almost as rapidly as their whiter cousins, but they lack the industrious habits, the ambition and other qualities that aid eo much in teaching white children. I lind that it is a comparatively easy task to give them a sufficient knowledge of English to enable them to do their business after leaving school. I5ut I believe it is a matter of eijual if not of greater importance that the boys should be taught to work. At schools such as ours it is almost impossible to give them employment, especially during the winter months. There is nothing to do, except cut wood and haul in snow and ico to be converted into water. For that reason a small farm should bo attached to all sjhuols, and a number of cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, and so forth, should be kept, that these boys may learn how to take care of them. In summer we will give ours work in a garden which we have prepared near the school. Unless the boys are taught habits of industry and economy their education will be of little use to them, and it will be adifHcult task to convince those Indians that arc opposed to schools that an educa- tion is a good thing. " It is much easier to give the girls employment, such as learning all kinds of house- work, also sewing and knitting. Some have learned to card wool by hand and spin. During the summer wo will try and put a loom in and teach the girls to weave. This will be of the greatest value to them as the Government has a number of sheep on each reserve. If the women learn how to convert the wool into knitted goods and cloth they then possess the power of supplying themselves with clothing of the most desirable (juality. "Our i)upils learn to sing hymns and play the organ by ear. Besides religious exercises morning and evening, they learn the golden text and questions from the Mother's Catechism. They then attend the Presbyterian Sunday school in Birtle and are taught by other teachers. " I did not notice much change in the conduct or in the appearance of the children until I saw some of them at home who had been lu re a few months, and compare them with others who had never been at school, then I saw plainly that the little training they had received had wrought a decided change. The same thing has been noticed and talked about by the Indians. " 1 also think it is a mistake to make a missionary or teacher of every Indian boy who acquires sutiioiont education. They would bo able to do a great deal more good to their people if they settled on farms among them and set them examples of thrift and industry.' BIKD TAIL. The Rev. John McArthur had charge of the adjoining Home Mission Field of Beulah, and when the Rev. Solomon Tunkansniciye became incapacitated for his work by ill-health xxvm. Appendix No". 10. Mr. McArthur gave services every second Sabbath. The Indians themselv{!A4ield services on the alternate Sabbaths. Mr. McArthur's services were so acceptable that the Indians petitioned to have him every Sabbath, and now an arrangement has been reached by which Mr. McArthur will give services every Sabbath, while still continuing to preach in the adjoining Home Mission tield. There is an attendance of thirty-five at the Sabbath services ; and Sunday school, prayer and missionary services are held by the Indians themselves. Contributions to the schemes of the church amount to ^18.00. Extensive repairs have been made upon the church during the year. These were made mainly at the expense of the Indians themselves — some of them giving eight days' work, besides contributions in money. No school has been maintained on ';he reserve for the past two years ; the children are sent to the industrial school at Birtle. OKANASB. This reserve has continued under the care of the Rev. George Flett, who, in spite of his seventy-three years, has also visited regularly the neighbouring reserves at Rossburn and Rolling River. Services are held at three points. The nverage atteni1",nce at Okanase is 45, or when the Indians are all home from hunting, 65. There are 39 on the communion roll, two of whom were added during the year. Eleven infants and live adults have been baptized. The Okanase school was, until the end of March, in the hands of Mr. John Black, an Indian lad educated in Manitoba College under the care of the Church. His health has been impaired by the close confinement of the school-room, and he has given up teaching and become a farmer. Mr. Flett finds it very difficult to prosecute his work satisfactorily on account of the prolonged absence of the Indians from their reserves. Okanse is at the foot of Riding Mountain, where the hunting is still good. This furnishes too great a temptation for t; j Indians to resist, and many of them neglect their farms to follow the chase. The Rolling River Indians, on the other hand, forsake their reserves to hang about the outskirts of the neighbouring towns, and, of course, temptations to intemperance and other forms' of immorality are so frequent and so strong, and have obtained such a mastery over them, that any attempt at mission work among them in their present surroundings is si.nply hopeless. PORTAQK ' . PRAIRIE. The school has been carried on with increasing efficiency under the care of Miss Walker. Kducationally it is not a whit behind what it ever was, and as a missionary agency it is decidedly stronger than in former years. During the past year the school has, as always, owed much to the Presbyterian ladies of Portage la Prairie. There are twenty- two children on the roll, with an average attendance of ten. These children attend the Presbyterian Sabbath school in the Portage. Considerable attention is being given to mission work among the Indians outside the school. So heartily do they appreciate the eff'orts made on their behalf that they have of their own accord erected a little building to be used as a church for the services that are held every Sabbath afternoon. It is built of logs, the roof is thatched, and it is capable of seating some forty persons. With the exception of the trifling expenditure retjuired for glass and nails, the material was supplied and the work done gratuitously by the Indians themselves. NOTES. The marriage of Miss Ros'' last July created a vacancy in the day school on Piapot's reserve, and it was judged advisable to send all the available children of Piapot's reserve to the industrial school on the adjoining reserve at Muscowpetung's. Appendix No, 10. XXV. ' ' We find the parents of our scholars taking a greater interest in the school. The children returning to school after holidays, in some cases, are as neatly dressed as when tliey left. In many of the houses we notice a great improvement. The people are begin- ning to lose faith in their old religion. One of the leaders has passed away. Before he died he gave up paganism, professed faith in Christ, and was baptized. Many are seeking after the light, and we trust it may soon dawn in their dark hearts. ' ' One of our people died ; he had been ill all summer and passed away a few weeks ago. I never witnessed a more happy death-bed. His heart was fixed upon Christ, and his end was peace. We saw clearly in his case the promise fulfilled, ' Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thjr ro(? and Thy staff they comfort me. ' "In following our commission, we have been rewarded. 'Preach the Gospel tO' every creature '—suitable to the heart of the poor Indian, as well as to the white man. ' It is the power of God unco saivation to every one that believeth.' No wonder Paul said, ' I am not ashamed ' of it. "Many of the Indians have passed away during the past jear. In visiting their homes we saw much of their wretchedness and poverty. One poor man lost three children and his wife in one month. The world is made dark to him and there is no light in the <;ioom. Why had he not the beautiful hope of a happy reunion which cheers and sustains the Christian when called upon to pass through such trials ? We might mention many sad cases where old people have been spending the evening of their days in want and misery ; no kind friends to minister to them — shivering, hungry and diseased — feeling as if shut out by a cruel world and no light or sure hope for a better before them. There is here a voice which we dare not refuse to hear. Go with the name of .TesuB to the dying, And speak tliat name in all its living power. " We have been able to do much in the way of clothing them. The clothing sent by the Woman's Foreij^n Missionary Society has been appreciated, and n)any a naked person has been made glad by the garments we wore able to give. May all those who contributed to this good work hear the sweet words of Jesus, ' I was naked and ye clothed Mvi.' In rof^ard to health among our scholars, we have reason to be thankful. During the five years our school has been open there has been no death among the scholars at the school : /(( grippe has been among them ti little this winter, but they have all recovered. "As to the progress made, it is as good as we could expect. During the past two months our Indian girls have done all the housework in connection with the school ; they liave also made up their own clothing, also the boys' shirts and trousers. " Mr. Ferry, the teacher, is doing very well and is liked by the children. " We are grateful to all the kind friends who have helped us by their prayers and means. We earnestly hope and pray that our school may become more worthy of all the sympathy and help given to ua ; and that from among these children there will grow up many who will be a blessing to the society in which thc^ move." INDIAN HEAD. Mr. John McLean continued to teach on the Assiniboine Reserve till last November, but during the summer many of the Indians who had lived in p compact community like a village removed to two other parts of the reserve at such distance that it was imposrible for them to attend school regularly. The attendance fell off, and Mr. McLean, a most faithful teacher, became discouraged and resigned. The Committee after long delibera- tion, and indeed after appointing two teachers who withdrew before eiitering on their work, agreed to accept the suggestion of the Government and close the school with a view to drafting off the children to the new Government Industrial School now being opened XXVI. Appendix No. 10. at Regina. These Indians are Assiniboines or Stoneys — a race with more energy than the average Crees. They have for instance learned the school lessons in knitting so well thn t they take contracts to supply the Indian Department with socks and mitts, the Govern- ment supplying the material. The ' take a considerable proportion of the prizes in tho Regina Agricultural Exhibition each year. It is highly desirable that these people although not very numerous should not be neglected ; and their spiritual and social con- dition is such that there is the profoundest need of a missionary to live among them. As soon as the relation between the reserve and the Regina school is established, an attempt will be made to take possession again of a field that is at once extremely difficult and full of great possibilities. KILE HILLS. The Rev. Alex. Campbell resigned his charge here last November to re-enter the Home Mission work, .ind a re-arrangement was effected by which tho reserve was put in charge of Mr. D. H. Mc Vicar, B.A., an Indian graduate of Manitoba College, as mission- ary, and Mr. Alex. Skene 'fi principal of the Industrial Boarding School. Perhajis nowhere in this country is there a more thoroughly pauperized or a more shameless band of Indians, and the labourers among them often reach the limit of discouragement. The attendance at the Industrial Boarding School is still very small, but it is consid- erably larger than it was last year. The number on the roll for last quarter was twelve, with an average attendance of six. Mr. Skene says : "Owing to pre\alence of la , 1880) '2,710. Tliis total includes men, women and ch.;dren. For 1888 tho sum of .?0'1.'$.85 was raised by the native church ; Bibles, with maps, etc. , bought by tho preachers, cost .^100 ; and one preacher is supported by the people here — that makes another $100 ; so that the total would be §1,143.85. If preachers were paid with that sum, eleven would be bupported for an entire year. Now ,we neither used the money in that way, nor put it thus on paper, or in report. There are ditl'erout ways of writing and doing things. It might be put thus : the native church in North Formosa suppor eleven preachers during 1888. The facts are the same, however stated. Were it not for the French troubles the Sin-tiam congregation would be supporting its own native pastor by this time. As it is, they are looking forward to that in the not distant future. " The above is what the stations united have done in 1883. Let us take one at random now, in a town of say 5,000 inhabitants. A. place — a ren'ed house — has been secured for xxxn. Appendix No. 10. worship, fttid a preacher lives in part of it. He exhorts, preaches, relieves sufferint;, doea all he can to gain converts ; but only fifteen, twenty or thirty from the peasants or poorer cla?ses are got. They have to work hard for a living in he midst of idolaters. Can they support a native who needs at the least ^100 a year, so iis to bo somewhat respectable in dress, food, etc. I It is simply impossible. To be continually pressin;,' for money from the platform with idolaters listening has the effect of frightening them away. If a chureh is largely in deb 'n Canada, does not that keep persons from joining it ? Have there not been stations in Christian Canada for upwards of twenty years before becoming self- supporting / I am confident you will agree witli me that an ignorant man, without shoes and stockings, etc., in such a place in the midst of 6,000 Chinese (though ho might live on ^0 a year) would only bring contempt on our cause. It would just be the same here as in Canada. Are not Chinese as shrewd as Westerners, and are they not more con- ceited and proud ? An educated ministry alone will meet the wants of such a people. Then ((() an educated native to be respectable here needs 8100 a year ; (/>) an ignorant coolie for half the amount would injure the cause ; (c) where there are only fifteen, twenty, thirty or forty of the poorer classes in a Chinese town or city attending worship regularly, they cannot raise SlOO a year. We labour to get more and more of them, and then they will be able, {d) In such cases, if Canada does not support, the place has to be abandoned by a trained preacher. . . . As to the future, even this year 1880, I cannot write- until able to say such and such has been accomplished. In due time, of what converts contribute this year, you will be informed." Thus plainly does Dr. Mackay set before us the state of things, the great work to be done, and the difhculties to be overcome in the accomplishment of it. He has our heartiest sympathy and our fullest confidence ; and the Church in Canada may well continue to give the most generous support to the Mission, assured that he, even more than any of us at home, longs for the day when, by the blessing of God upon the work there, the Church in North Formosa shall be, in a great measure, self-supporting. What the congregations are learning and doing in this direction is brought out incidentally in such conmiunications as the following : — " I have already referred to advancement all along the line in a general way, and now direct attention to progress in a particular department. During a tour of forty-seven days I noted the increased care of converts for their places of worship. At the Pi-po-hoan village of Ki-bii-ldn a new thatched roof, which would cost ^20 or more, was put on the building, the whole interior was whitewashed and the exterior, with the open space in front, attended to ; besides a neat new platform took place of the old one, etc. In front of the Hoan-sia-thau chapel, bamboo, grass and rattan were piled, waiting for dry weather, to repair and re-roof the house of God. Lang-koe-soa is a large Chinese village, and there those who have forsaken idolatry rented, repaired and fitted up a house for Divine service. There being no accommodation for the native preacher, they secured (juarters near at hand. The members at L^-na-bi bought lumber and made the chapel buildings much more comfortable and useful. It was very interesting to see the Lord's redeemed at S.-in-hut looking so diligently after the oleander and privet plants in front of the ' James Memorial Chapel.' As I had some more 'cuttings,' this time elders, deacons, etc. , turned out to plant them at once. The idea a tc have a hedge by-and-bye, so that bamboo fences can be dispenst 1 with. This has b en done at many of the chapels. In time the eco)iomical, as well as jesthetical, object will be easily seen. The building was painted before by the people, and is still fine in appearance. "These are examples of what our converts are doing towards self-support. It is a good and healthy sign to see them thus take hold and care for th 'ices of worship. It is moving on; it is advancing towards the much desired goal. In one city the cor> ^rta raised money to purchase a small bell, so that they can hear it ring, and attend prayer- meetings and services on Sabbaths. " Appendix No. 10. xxxm. As fro<(Uunt rcfurencea have l)eeii mado in i>i'evii)ua reports to the " Pl-pu-hoaii " cut the East coast and tu the work of evangelisation amoni^ them, apace is here ^iven to a long extract giving information about tliem, which cannot fail to bo of interest to the friends of our Miasion in Formosa : — " People in all landa are alwaya ondeavourini,' to better their circumstances. Many in Europe cross to America, and laryo numbers in Ontario, etc., move to the vast N(jrth- Weat. So it is with not a few of our Pi-po-hoan on the East C(jaat. The word ' hoan ' nieana barbarian or foroi^nor, and ' Pi-po ' ia the word for ' plain ' in thia dialect. The Chinese i^ave the name to tiie civilized aboriij;inea to diatins^uiah them from their kinsmen in the mountains, who are uncivilized and thia day defy the ' braves ' of China armed with iield artillery, mountain pieojs, machine j^una and iron-clada. They are called ' Chhi- hoan', the Hrst word meaning raw, uncooked, uncivilized. By civilization, I mean the the Chinese idea (jf it. About a hundred of our people were for aeveral yeara at Pak-koan by the seashore trying to eke out a livin;;, by digging away up the mountain'a aide and planting potatoea. In addition, they do))ended much on the waters of tlio ocean ; but just there it is very treacherous, ao that, apart from the sea-weed and occa8i(mal tishing, tliey had to put dependence on the steep and rugged hills. The entire settlement moved bag and baggage into a ricli plain near the woods, where othera who had no fields of their own began to make new homes for their families. One charming day we arrived at the place about mid-day ; ther. 80^ in the shade. It was a novel aight, though few thinga, indeed, appear novel to mo now. In a level plain, with lofty mountaina not far distant, atood a number of new houses finished, and many more in all stages, from having a pole or two in the ground to being ready for the thatched roof. I was asked to lay out the village and select a chapel site. I did ao, by arranging for tho building to bo at one end, with a row of houses on each aide, having a broad space between. Then houses to be built from the church to both sides. So, too, the opposite end to be built up. Tlie whole to be surrounded with a stone wall. At the beating of the drum, etc., all can meet in the spacious yard and walk into the house of Go:l for worship. Should tbey be attacked by savages, tliey are thus pretty secure, etc. Tho name ia auggeative enough, BAng-d-hun- po, or the meadow where a wood growa which is burned to drive away moaquitoea. Fully 200 inViabitanta were there then. Further on we came to another locality which waa being opened up and called Ang-chhil-nil, which meana red-wood foreat. There, too, we assisted in laying out a village and fixed on a spot for chapel building. It ia a long time since I had auch pleasant work to do. Not, indeed, since I selected ground and built a log church in savage territory. " Passing on, a roaring torrent had to be crossed, and twenty stalwart follows joined hands with ua and we croaaed safely. Fully one hundred aettlers were at Ang-chha-na. Several of our people from the Kap-tsi'i-lan Plain moved south from So-bay to a new settlement near Choki-bay. A few went froni our Ka-lt$-oin station, and now there is a place of tho same name down there. There is no road from So-bay to the diatrict. All must go by boat. And that ia so uncertain that it is difficult to go to and fro. For more than a dozen years I have been anxious to make a trip in that region, but found it impos- sible to wait a Chinese. I was by sea once away down tho east coast, on board H.B.M. man-of-war Lctpwuig. A convert, who waa cook in Oxford College for the studenta, went ■with othera, and has been teacliing and doing what ho can for tho Pi-po-hoan. Nearly every night at the college, when I would be addressing students, etc., he waa in the habit of alipping in and taking notes. Several came here for booka, etc. I gave them hymn- booka, traota, etc. , and they have been pleading for me to go and establish chapels amongst them , etc. The cook alluded to acta as preacher, and his letters to me some time ago state that fully one hundred are ready to throw their idola away. Mr. George Ede, of the E. P. Mission, was there a few weeks ago, and he writes me that when asked to hold up tlieir hands if willing to throw their idols away, at once sixty went up. But the letters XXXIV, Appendix No. 10. from the people themaolvos sovoral months since state twice or thrice that number. The cook yeti no pay. ' And let him that hearoth say, Come.' " What a glorious privilege during our last tour away in plains and hamlets ! I sat down with 850 communicants and celebrated our Lord's dying love." During the latter part of last year the state of Mr. Jamieson's health was the occasion of much anxiety to the Committee ; but he has been restored to a degree beyond what we could have ventured to anticipate. We offered to make the rciiuisite provision for his removal for a season to any climate that might be deemed more favourable than Formosa. But he himself was able to write to the effect that no such step was necessary, the climate of Formosa being as favourable to recovery from lung disease as that of any other country. " Our community doctor. Dr. A. Rennie," says Mr. Jamiescm, in a letter dated 2;trd Dec, 1880, " is able, attentive and kind, and 1 am sure he will do all in his power for me as ho has done in the past. Dr. Mackay is also as usual ready and willing to help in any way he possibly can. At present in the matter of health I cannot at all complain. I still have more or less of a cough, but beyond this I experience no trouble or inconvenience. Our times are in God's hand, but I trust, if it be His will, that I may yet be spared to do what I can in helping on His cause and Kingdom in this miasicm field." Still more satisfactory is the news of a later date. In a letter dated March 5, 1800, Mr. Jamieson gives some account of his own experience and of the work in which he has been engaged. As the idea is widely prevalent, owing to his under-estimate of his own fitness for work, as published by himself, that he is not able to speak to the Chinese, it is deemed right to give some full extracts from an account of his last preaching tour. He says : " I left Tamsui on 7th February, going by steam-launch to the city of Bang-kah. In early days of the Mission there were no steam-launches for this part of the journey ; now there are four, owned by Chinese, and are very convenient. They are usually crowded with Chinese passengers, and a stranger might fancy it afl'orded a good opportunity for preaching the Gospel ; but experience has taught me that as each is bent on his own busi- ness, it is more profitable to keep silence, and let those who really wish to hear come to the chapels. At Bang-kah we did not have any service, as the people, not knowing of my coming, could not be assembled all at once, any more than can a congregation in Canada. " Next morning (Saturday) we crossed the river and started for Tho-il-hng, arriving towards night. A fair congregation of church-goers and others gathered in the new chapel on Sabbath forenoon. I spoke to them from Heb. iv. , last verses, on the Mediatorship of Christ, and man's blessings and privileges coming therefrom. "On the following Sabbath, 16th, at Tiong-k.ing, we celebrated the communion, some sixteen, old and young sitting down to the Lord's table. Though conducted in a plain and simple manner as is our custom here, the service was none the less impressive. I addressed them from Matt, xiii., 47-50 — the parable of the draw-net ; and before dispensing we aang the thirty-second hymn in our collection, which is a translation into Chinese of paraphrase fifty-four, " I'm not ashamed to own my Lord," etc. This, if not rendered with all the musical precision to be heard in some modern churches, was sung with heart as well as voice, which is characteristic of our converts here, and after all is the essential of true praise. "At Aiig-miig-kdng, where the people are poor and the church struggling, we met three times for worship, once on the evening of my arrival, and twice the following day. The people came willingly to hear and there were good audiences for the place, as all have to work hard for a living. Here the grass roof of the chapel had been leaking in several places and will soon have to be renewed. Speaking with the people on the subject they expressed their willingness to do what they could towards bearing the expenses. AprKNDix No. 10. NXXV. "Sa-kivk-eng is a station inlaiul not far from siivajje lioniers. Hino, on this visit, ' had time to stay only over one nit,'ht, but it our moetini; that evening tlic buuiII chapi, was quite full. Thou^jh our church members here are not yec many, there seem.s to ho a good opening for working amont; the people. It is ditlicult to ijet converts anywhere, but at this station it was remarkably hard to obtain an oiieninj.', owin;; to tlie futt that the inhabitants have for long been notably rouu;li and lawless in character. ■' In travelling in the country I find tliero are many opiiortunitiea of preachi..^ *he Gospel other than from the platform in a cliKpel, but judgment has to be exercised when to speak and when to forbear, for I find that often the Gospel is preached more etl'ectually among Chinese by keeping closed lips. To do otherwise under some circumstances is but casting pearls before swine. Wo stop at a rice shop to get a little refreshment, and many are the conjectures of those around about the foreigner and his employment They ask if I am a railway man, and I say no. Then I am buying tea ? and I again reply in the negative. Thus the door is open for me to explain who I am, and to tell something about the doctrine if I think wise. '* One Sabbath I was at the river side waiting under a grass shed for a boat to take u» to Tamsui. A number soon gathered round laughing and talking. I told them I had just had service in a chapel, and if they wished and kept ([uiot I would tell them also some- thing about the Truth. All readily assented, and I explained to them some of the chief points in our religion, then came to a stop. They wished me to go on. After speaking for some time I said that if they wished to hear more fully they must go to the chapel near by next Sabbath and learn. I should explain that heathens here are not the simple- minded people which Christians at a distance are too apt to fancy them. The shrewd and self-satisfied Chinese will often ask a foreigner to speak merely for the sake of passing the time, and afterwards amusing themselves with what he has said. So that I have learned not to expect much result from such ways of trying to evangelize. It is almost impossible for people in Canada to understand this, but it is nevertheless true. "On the way homo I preached at Chiu-nih on Sabbath '24th, arriving at Tamsui on 25th, when I found all well ; Dr. Mackay having a band of new students with some old ones, fast getting them into harness, and Mrs. Mackay surrounded by a number of preachers' wives and young women under her care." We feel that our report would be incomplete without some account of the College. Of the work done in connection with it, all friends of the mission will hear with the deep- est joy. They will all be glad to receive a somewhat full description of the College anc of the instruction therein imparted to the students. This is from the report of Dr. Mac kay : '' The main hall of Oxford College in which ve daily assemble has four arched windows of glass ; a raised Hoor extending from one side to the other ; a blackboard (which is the wall coloured) the same length ; a desk and stool for each student ; a map of the world and astronomical diagrams ; a brass wire on which to hang tunes for practice ; and a large door on the south side wit'.; a similar cne opposite the platform. " During 1889 the studies were such as experience taught would be most useful now. "What subjects should be added in the future is another question which the time to come ought to determine according to circumstances. Twenty students were regular attendants, as they live in the college building. From six to fifteen preachers took up quarters with them and gave the closest attention to the subjects discussed. Besides old and young from the girl's school filed in everyone to hear the exorcises. "Throughout the ye.ir Mr. Jamieson gave his time and strength to the visitation of stations in every district. One of our ablest young men assisted me teaching. It is exceedingly important that natives should as soon as possible take part in the work, for only then will they feel the necessary responsibility. . . . We did not teach Latin, Greek, French or German, because the Chinese language by itself is a Gibraltar to attack XXXVI, AlM'KXDIX No. 10. ami ciini|uer oven by Foniinsanii, Wo did not tttiicli Ancient Mytholnuy, beciiuno tlmt of modern China has oni)ui;)i and to H[mi'e uf waste hinibor and rubbish. We went over lar^e l)orti()ns of Chinese ulassies, t)iiiiii{h, in order that all niiijht be better eijiiipped as soldiera of Jesus Christ. Those under instruction read entire books, coninutted whole chapters, and examined innumerable vernes of the Scriptures concerning the promises, precepts and doctrines. Tliey also toiled throui;h a (juestion book on the Old and stored in memory a catechism on the New Testament. We studied toi,'ether the Shorter L'atechisin, Bostcm's ' Four Fold State,' linnynn's ' Pilgrims rroj,'rosf),' Andrew's ' Life of Our Lord,' Drummond's ' Natural Law in the Spiritual World,' Dawson's ' Orij,'in of the World,' Dana's ' Text Book of Oeohtwy,' (Jeikie's ' Manual of Ooology,' Balfour Steward's ' Thysics,' Mackay's ' Manual of Modern (ieoKraidiy,' etc. ; Church History, Ancient, Jfediieval ami Modern ; Anatomy, I'liy8ioloj,'y and the Healinj( Art ; Romanized Colkxj ..il ami Elocution. In the latter all had al)undant drill and practice, as from one to six spoke on the platform every ni^ht and were subject to criticism. Singing was engaged in until everyone could on the spur of the moment start and lead any tune sung here. They sing both by ear and note, and are well drilled in two dozen dill'erent tunes. Thus when tiiey go out as lireachers they do not display backwardness, awkwardness or rudeness. Day and night at work, I have never seen them tlag. Indeed, whilst the whole work here is satisfactory, there is no department more so than the work in Oxford College. Well that such is the ease, for native preachers are the hoje of success hero and throughout the world I believe. This vast Empire will never bect>nio Christian except through the knowledge, zeal and spiritual life of her own sons." In regard to Mr. Jamieson, the Connuittee have much pleasure in stating to the Assembly that the accounts wliich they have received during the year, both as to the state of his health and as to his usefulness in preaching and in other departments of nn'ssion •work, have been very favourable; and they have gladly come to the conchu 'on that he may, with advantage to the Church, be continued in his present field of labour. Tliey cherisli the hope that, in the good providence of God, he may yet have years of protitable service before him. (2) HONAN. In reference to Honan, it was said in our last report to the Assembly : "This field has not yet been occupied ; but our Missionaries are diligently preparing themselves, by the study of the language and otherwise, to enter upon their work at the earliest moment advisable." The Missionaries there at that time were Mr. Qoforth, Dr. Smith, Dr. McClure, and Mr. Macgillivray. These, with the brethren who have since been sent out, have been organized into a Presbytery — "the Presbytery of Honan." Although the Church has been made aware of this, and of progress made in other directions, by com- munications given to the press, we canni)t refrain from laying before the Assembly a few extracts from the " Minutes of the First Meeting of the Presbytery of Honan." So vividly did these minutes bring the new Presbytery before the Committee, that " the Secretary was instructed to say to Mr. MacVicar, the Clerk, in answer to his question about the reporting to this Committee of the proceedings of the Presbytery, that, if he as clerk does not find that it will be imposing too heavy a burden upon him, it will be a source of great satisfaction to the Committee to have a complete copy of all the Presbytery minutes." " At Lin-Ching, Province of Shantung, North China, and within Dr. Smith's study, in the old compound of the American Board there, on Thursday evening, the fifth day of December, one thousand eight huntlred and eighty-nine, at half-past eight o'clock, con- vened the following Ordained Missionaries and elder, designated under the Foreign Mis- sion Committee of the Presbyterian Church in Canada as Missionaries to Honan, China, namely. Ministers : Jonathan Goforth, James Fraser Smith, M.D., Donald Macgillivray, Murdoch MacKenzie, John MacDougall, and John Harvey MacVicar ; Elder, William Appendix No. 10. xxxvn. McCliiro.

After •ome preliminaries, Mr. (lofurth wa« elected Moderator, anreat Salvation, that " God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.' With attention and wonder they have asked for the story again and again, or as they felt the need of such comfort as is furnished in the Master's " Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest," they have exclaimed with tears, " How can we tell what to believe ? " In the male dispensary 5,953 new patients were received and 9,477 treatments given.. In the women's dispensary 2,077 new patients were received and 5,044 treatments given. The work done in the school has been very encouraging. Mr. Fitch has proved during another year his usefulness as a Christian head master. The success of the school, though helped by judicious management of the Missionary, must always depend very largely upon the kind oi agents employed. Along with Mr. P'itch all the teachers have thrown themselves heartily into the wo'-k ; and the success that unity of purpose and. earnest efTort bring, I am happy to say, has fallen to Ujjain. " The Sabbath school has been as well attended as the day school, and very much' resembles the mission Sabbath school in our large cities at honie, one marked differ- ence being that, as all the teachers in the day school are kind enough to come also to the Sabbath school, the boys are kept under better control. With regard to the girl's school, it is important to remark that, in ^his department as in others, it is essential that a Missionary should reside where the work is being carried on. When the care of the work was handed over to us in November, there was only one girl's school with an attendance of 7. Before we left in February we had two schools, Marathi and Hindi, with an average attendance of 18 and 22 respectively. Mrs. Buchanan tried to have them learn at least one verse a week from the Bible, and they took kindly to the task. It was a joy to me to spend some time, as often as possible, teaching ihese little girls to sing hymns. In a country where the women usually walk the streets in little companies, with face veiled, but with voice generally heard in song, it cannot but be that song must have a great influence in moulding the character of its people. I have heard our best hymns being sung on the streets, and this will be more often the case as the hymns become better known." ■■■i xlii. Appendix No. 10. illiiil^ Mr. McKelvie thus writes concerning Mhow, one of our oldest stations: — "Two months before the beginning of last year I came to Mhow. Although the station had been some time without the care of a Missionary — except the supervision which Mr. Campbell, amid a multitude of other work, could give it from Indore , yet, owing to the ■enthusiastic devotion of the Misses Stockbridge, and the efficient help rendered by Mr. Drew in the Sabbath school, I found the work in a very flf^urishing condition. Since then iny work haa been more supervision and encouragement of others than active work myself. I have not yet surmountod that mountain of difficulty— the language. Nevertheless one finds that even a small stock of words can be put to good account in various ways. The reports of the Misses Stockbridge show some details of their work. But in addition to that, Miss Minnie Stockbridge and I have been accustomed to take out, on the dark nights, the magic lantern to the outlying villages, usually taking two or three workers with us ; soon we could gather a large and attentive crowd to look at the pictures and hear the message of salvation. One gratifying feature was that the people seemed to enjoy, and sometimes join in, the bhajans or hymns that were projected on the screen, oftentimes asknig us at the close for copies of these hymns. We were greatly encouraged by the large number that came out of heathenism and were admitted into the church by baptism. One of theso fell away, but all the others are true, and as catechumens are looking forward to the joy of partaking in tho Lord's Supper with their brethren. 2 '.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.".'. 3 No nf Tpar-liprs i CJhristiaii 8 JNo. 01 leacliers ^ Noii-Christian 5 Galling W(imen 5 pup"-nH»" {SS:::::::;:::::::::?S: Bible Women 3 No. of Sabbath schools 2 Average attendance, over 300."

"And," -adds Miss Minnie Stockb.'dge, " as treasurer of the local c' rch fund, we are able to Btate that we have a balance credit nf Rh 40C. Miss Rodger, who has laboured long and faithfully in Indore, tells that " throughout the pjist year the Zenana work has been carried on as usual. All those reading or learning to read in their own homes with one excei;ti(jn have formerly been pupils in school. Two are learning English, tlie others are studying the vernacular. As they leave school so young it is gratifying to find even a small number anxious to continue their studies. No f>ppo3ition is ever made in their homes now to tlio reading of the Scriptures. Tlio five uirls sent from this station to tlio boarding school at Nusserabad are doing fairly well. Two of them are very bright, the remaining three are not so interesting, but with tlie training they are receiving will no doubt be greatly improved." It gladdens us to hear about Miss Sinclair, who was sent out so recently, taking her part in the work in Indore. She .says : " Owing to much fever and cold prevalent among the children, the attendance at school has lately been irregiilarj tho number not exceeding 80 or 85. The Sunday school organized last July is continued, with an average attendance greater tlian that of the day school. Although there has been little or no increase in attendance, there has been no decrease, and the interest ha^ been sustained from the first. There are three classes of Marathi-spoakiig children, in all about 70, taught by two Christian women and myself ; between 15 and 20 Hindi-speaking girls are in Miss Oliver's class ; and Miss Beatty has a class for the heathen teaciiers of tho day school, the calJing-women, and any others who may come from time to time. Once a month the children get Sunday school leaflets, and every Sunday are uiven a text printed on bright coloured (laper. We are teaching tiie ' International Lessons.' " Appendix No. 10. xliii. In the report of medical work by Misa Dr. Boatty and Miss Dr. Oliver, we learn that *' the dispensaries have been open all the year and a vast deal of suffering has been relieved through them — 17,979 (seventeen thousand nine hundred and TOventy-nine) jiatients were treated. Of these 7,040 (seven thousand and forty-six) were new patients, and 10,933 (ten thousand nine hundred an'^ thirty-three) old ; 352 (three hundred and fifty-two) women and children were treated in their houses, 1,255 (twelve hundred and fifty-five) visits being made. Dispensary and house work have thus larj^ely increased. " The total amount of money received in fees and by the sule of medicine was Rs. 853, 14 annas 6 pie (eight hundred and three rupe.s, fifteen annas, six pie) a very small aura when the number of house visits is looked at. When the people who call ua are able to pay we insist on a fee of three rupees in the camp and five in the ciLy for the first visit ; and that is generally all we get. If we did not get that before any medicine were given in nine cases out of ten we would never see a pice of it. Our business in India is to win the confidence of the people that they may be won to believe the Good News we bring to them." The Committee expect very soon to expend the sum of §3,000, some years .ago appro- priated by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society to the erection of a hospital at Indore, and paid over to vhe Committee. It is confidently hoped thivt this hospital will prove a great and lasting benefit to many sufferers there. The Committee have much satisfaction in seating that Mr. Norman H. Russell, B. A., having been highly recommended to them as qualified for work in the Foreign field, has been appointed as a Missionary to Central India. It is expected that he will soon be pre- pared to set out. They have gratefully accepted the oft'er of Central Church, Toronto, to pay his salary, with outfit and travelling expenses to the field ; and they record their thanks to that Church for this very pleasing token of their liberality. Miss Mackellar, M. D. , has also been designated as a missionary to Central India. She left Canada in the beginning of May, and is now taking a special medical course in London to fit herself more fully for service in India, whither she hopes to proceed in the fall. It gives the Committee much pleasure to subjoin the following statement by Mr. Wilkie, of Indore, in reference to the work in which he has been engaged during his stay in Canada on furlough : — INDORE COLLEGE. lU'iLniNo A.VD FruNisHixci Fund (ixcmding Libuary).

Appendix No. 10. me into contact with a large army of earnest Christian Co-Missionaries, whoso existence I had not fully recognized and valued, but whose presence, sympathy and prayers will con- tinue to stimulate us in our efforts for the Master in our important field of labour. With deep gratitude to my many faithful co-labourers in Canada, I return to my lield of labour (D v.) in July, praying that our God may own and bless our feeble efforts to hasten the glorious day of our Lord Jesus Christ." It is most gratifying to the Committee, as it must be to the whole Assembly, to know that Mr. Wilkie has met with such success, and has experienced so much enjoyment in his arduous work. And the Assembly, we are sure, will be of one heart and of one mind in the hope and prayer that Mr. Wilkie's largest anticipation in connection with the College maybe realized. As he is just about setting out again for his held of labour, we com- mend him to the care and keeping of Him to whose service he has consecrated his life. CHINESE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. The Committee had under consideration an extract minute of the Presbytery of Columbia, with relative documents, in regard to work among the Chinese in British Columbia. In some communications, doubts, which seemed to be not altogether ground- less, were expressed as to the propriety of entrusting the superintendence of such work to a native Chinaman. After deliberation, it was agreed to acknowledge receipt of the deliverance of the Presbytery of Columbia ; to state that the Committee does not feel called on at present to undertake the whole expense of a Mission in Victoria whore a vigorous Methodist Mission is at work among 2,500 Chinese, and is not satisfied that there is at any other point in British Columbia a sufficiently large permanent Chinese population to warrant the expenditure necessary to the establishment and efficient carry- ing on of such a Mission ; to call the attention of the Presbytery to the fact that the Committee has before it an application from a well qualified person who asks to be sent ne.^t year to labour among the pagan Indians of British Columbia ; and to re(iuest the Presb^.ery to consider this question and investigate whether there are centres in the Province where considerable bo(''es of Indians live who are not ministered to by any other Church, and give the Committee all the information they can gather with regard to those centres, including such points as the number of Indians, and their social, moral and industrial position in each locality. The whole question, whether as relating to the Chinese or to the pag ',n Indians of British Columbia, is respectfully submitted to the judgment of the Assembly. MISSION TO THE JEWS. The Committee hereby acknowledge the receijjt from the executor.^ of the liite Hon. Alex. Morris of the sum of $G,1!)'J.49, moneys held by him in trust for the institution of a mission to the Jews in Palestine. Mr. W. Mortimer Clark presented to the Committee a report in I'eference to the pros- pects of mission work among the Jews in Palestine, of whose condition he was able to speak from personal observation. This report contained much valuable information, for which he was thanked by the Committee. It was cordially agreed to recommend the Assembly to take steps for the establishment of a Mission to the Jews in Palestine. It Appendix No. 10. xlv. was also agreed that, fur the information of the Assembly and of the Church, Mr. Mortimer Clark's report should be printed in an appendix, where accordingly it will be found. WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY (\VE^sTKRN Division). It was well said by the President at the gre.at gathorins^ of the Society in Hamilton (April 8 and 9, 1890) : "The fact that this Society can truthfully report at the close of its fourteenth year a decided advance in every part of the work is one that makes it must becoming in us to join together in humble, but very earnest, praise and thanksgiving to Him whose we arc and whom we desire to serve, for all the wiiy He has brought us hitherto." In harmony with this is the encouraging note of the Recording Secretary : " The position of the Society, as revealed in the Treasurers statement and in the other reports, shows that, although the year now closed lias been exceptional in many places as regards financial depression, sickness and death, these things have not in any perceiitiblo degree all'euted unfavourably either the interest in the work or the contributions. On the contrary, there is abundant reason to believe that adversity and afHictiun have worked together for good, drawing the followers of Christ closer to Himself and prompting them to ' lay up for themselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust dotli corrupt, and wiiere thieves do not break tlirough nor steal.' " The words in wliicli the Rucording Secretary refers to the loss sustained by the \V. F. M. S. in the removal from tli'a present scene of their (and our) beloved fellow-worker, Mr.s. MacMurchy, touch our hearts. They testify truly to the singularly efficient aid which she was enabled by Ood's grace to render to the Society through her diligence, ability and influence. But the members of the Society are not sorrowing coiicerning her oven as others who have no hope : " Her vlaced in, and wish we could per- suade them to try and keep up the fire of missionary zeal and efibrt by continuing to hang together. Even though their meetings should be of a very informal character, and they could contribute but little towards the funds, they could still speak one to another of the Lord's work, and pray for it and for those engaged in it, and thus bring blessing to the cause and to themselves. May the SpiriL of the living God breath upon those discouraged ones, giving them fresh courage, and incline them to a renewal of interest and service.

APPENDIX. REI'OltT KOR THE INFOKMATION OF THE FOREIGN MISSION CoMMIT'iT.E 01' THE PREShYTKRIAN CHURCH IN CANADA KEGABDINO THE PB0P08E[» MISSION TO THE JEWS. The Cbnroh having now been put in poHeeiaion of funds for the pur|io8e of eitablUbing n Mission to the Jens, and these moneys having been speoially appropriated by the donor for tho support of a misgion in Palestine, the question for the consideration of the Committee ii limited to the selection of tho most suitable point in that country for the operation! of the proposed misHton. The principal Jewish settlementM in Palestine are found at Jaffa, Jerusalem, Baled and Tiberiafl. At all these points tho influx of Jews has been romarkable, particularly during the last few years. It is an indisputable fact that Jews have recently been returning to Palestine in largo numbers. Ho marked has been this immigration that the Turkinh Government prohibited for some years the landing of Jews at the seaports on the Syrian coast. Thi8 prohibition has been removed through the influence of the Itothohilds and other Jewish capitalists, and the immigra- tion has been again renewed. A considerable Jewish population is found at Jaffa, which is the seaport of Jerusalem. At Bafed, the Jewish inhabitants are very numerous, and several thousands are settled at Tiberias. These last named towns are regarded as the holy places of tlie northern districts as Hebron and Jerusalem are considered by the Jews to be the holy cities of southern Palestine. With the exception of the Jewish colonies, such as that at Janneh, between the head of the Lake of Galilee and the Waters of Merora, Jews are not found in com- munitie:) of any size. At Jaffa there is a mission carried on under the auspices of the Church of England, and large and successful schools are conducted by .Miss Arnot, of Edinburgh. The British society also maintained a missionary there, but a failure in funds has compelled their withdrawal from this town. At Tiberias the Free Church of Scotland has, within a few years, organized an admirable mission both medical and educational. Large and commodious buildings are being erected iihere for the purposes of the mission. At Safed the London Mission has an agency, and the Free Church, during the summer months when the heat in the basin of Galilee precludes operations at Tiberias by Europeans, conducts missionary operations at that " city set on a hill." Jerusalem is, however, ttae great centre of attraction for the Jews. Their numbers there are increasing rapidly. During my visit to that city in 1S»<9 I was told by residents that they num- bered over 25,000, and from information otherwise received I am inclined to believe that these figures are rather under than over the mark. It is always difficult to arrive at the truth iu regard to population in Oriental cities, but it may safely be affirmed that fully one- half of the inhabitants of Jerusalem are Jews. At Jerusalem missionary work has been left almost entirely in the hands of the establishment of the Church of England. The bishop is, I understand, a pronounced high church man, and without expreseiug any opinion as to the manner in which the work of that mission is carried on, or regarding its results, it is evident that the vast increase in the Jewish population fully justilieB the establishment of another mission, The committee of the British Society informed me at a meeting in London, to which I was invited to be present, that they con- sidered that Jerusalem was without doubt the proper field for missionary effort in Palestine. They had not sent any o( their agents there because some of their patrons were bishops of the English Church, and they wished to avoid the appearance of antagonism to the Anglican mission. In addition to the fact that a large and rapidly increasing Jewish population exists in Jeru- salem, other reasons exist which appear to me to point to the selection of that city as being the moat suitable field for the establishment of our mission. Among these may be mentioned the lii. Appendix No. 10. fact that a large number of these Jewish residents are Sephardim, or Spanish Jews, a olass more intelligent and respectable than the Ashlanagion, or Polish Jews. The Jewish population are largely persons of leisure, and are generally ready and willing to disousa religions questions. They as a rnle are intensely Jewish. Their presence in the city presupposes the fact of the existence of a certain amount of religions feeling and interest in spiritual things. They are in fact regarded by their fellow Israelites as the " holy brethren." They keep up something of a correspondence with their co-religionists in other lands, who look to them as the representatives of the highest form of Judaic life, A missionary stationed among such a population would have a much more hopeful element with which to deal than if placed among the utterly careless and indifferent Jews of the great cities of Europe and America. Any religious movement originating among the Jews in Jerusalem wouH be of a much more influential and far-reaching character than that which might be manifested in any other locality. It must also be noticed that every year sees an increasing number of tourists in Jerusalem, and that for one travelling through other parts of Palestine dozens confine their journey to a visit to Jerusalem. All seem anxious to spend a Sunday in Jerusalem ; but there is at present no Protestant place of worship where they can meet, except at the Anglican mission, at which both service and preaching are distasteful to a very large majority of visitors. Many ministers of various evangelical denominations visit the city, and there is no place where they would be permitted to preach. Were any large apartment provided where Presbyterian service could be held, there is every reason to believe that during the two i-easons of travel public wofship would be well attended. Every tourist who was present, and every minister who officiated would be for life interested in the work and the Mission. Not only would considerable pecuniary contri- bution be received from visitors, but an interest resulting afterwards in assistance from Britain and America would be awakened. Further, I think it must be admitted that the institution of a Mission at Jerusalem would awake a livelier interest and, consequently, a more generous liberality among our members than of the field selected were at any point less generally known. The foregoing considerations induce me to recommend the Committee to sele >t Jerusalem as the most suitable place for the erection of our proposed Mission. W. MORTIMEK CLARK. I. -OVERTURE ON UNION OF PRES13YTERIAN CHURCHES IN INDIA-FROM INDORE PRESBYTERY. At Indore, in Bungalo No. 2, on TueHilay, the first day of April, in the year of our Lord 1890, the Presbytery met, ami was constituted with prayer by the Moiierator. Sederunt, Dr. Buchanan (Moderator), and Messrs. Wilson, McKelvie and Cnniiibell (Clerk). The minutes of last meeting were read and sustained. Inter alia, the following overture, regarding the proposed union, was read, and it was agreed to transmit it, and appoint Mr. Wilkie and Dr. Kellogg to present and support it before the A8seml)ly, To the Venerable the General Amembly of the Freahyterian Church in Canada ; — Whereas it is desirable that the substantial unity of the Churches in India, holding the Presby- terian form of doctrine and Church government, should be more fully realized by the Ciinrohes themselves, and more clearly presented to the heathen world ; and whereas the Presbyterian Alliance, at its meeting at Calcutta in December last, passed the following resolution : ' ' That whereas there is nothing in doctrine, polity, or worship, to keep the Presbyterian Churches in India apart ; and whereas the interests of Christianity, more especially from a missionary point of view, will be advanced by their union, it is resolved that the Committee on Presbyterian Union be appointed a Committee of the Alliance to formulate a basis of union on the lines of the resolutions arrived at to-day, and send it to the various Presbyteries and bodies corresponding thereto for Appendix No. 10. liii. approval, and transmisaion to the home authorities for their sanction." And whereas the Presby- tery of Indore, at its meeting in Indore on the 17th of March last, unanimously a^'reed : " That the Presbytery express its concurrence with the proposal to form a union of the Presbyterian Churches in India into one body, and its hearty desire to enter into that union, provided the constitution and creed, when definitely determined, meet with its approval. And further, that in view of this union, it asks permission from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, to enter into the union at such time as we may see our way clear to do so." Therefore the Presbytery of Indore hereby respectfully overtures the Venerable the General Assembly to grant it permission, in accor- dance with the above resolution, to take the necessary steps towards union with other Presbyterian bodies into a imited Church in India. II.-OVERTURK ON LICENSING OF CANDIDATP^S FOR MINISTRY— FROM INDORK PRKSBYTERY. The Committee on a scheme for the licensing of candidates for the ministry reported ; their report was adoi)ted. and it was a^treed, in harmony therewith, to transmit the following overture to the General Assembly :— Whereas the curriculum laid down for candidates for the ministry in Canada is unsuitable for the present needs of this country, the Presbytery of Indore respectfully overtures the Venerable the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, to grant it permission to make the following arrangements provisionally : — 1. That every candidate for the ministry present evidence of attainment equal to those required to pass the entrance examination of an Imlian University, and satisfy Presljytery as to his general fitness for the work of the ministry. 2. That he spend at least three years in sdme training institution approved of by the Presby- tery, or an ecpial period under the siii)ervisii)n of the Presbytery, followinj; a corresponding course of study. 3. Thiit at the end of that time he be taken on trials for license, and pass an examination in the subjects taught during the course attended, being recjuired to read an essay and to deliver a sermon before Presltytery. 4. That he be employed a year in practical work by the Presbytery, and requiretl at the end to pas-, an examination on the following subjects : Natural Theology, Systematic Theology, Compaia- tive Theology, Biblical Criticism, Hcmiiletics, Christian Evidences, Church History, Old and New Testament History, Scripture Geography, Church Government, Critical Knowledge of Luke Romans, Hebrews .and Messianic Ps.alius. That in cases when the Canilidates are unable to pass the standard required in secular know- ledge, tiiey be specially dealt with by Presbytery, without further reference to the Assembly. Such candi-t-, of appeal, provided, always, that the Synod have power to send up to the Ueneral Assembly cases which in their opinion call for the deliberation or decision of that body. II. As the Doctrinal basis, the Committee recommend : 1. The Apostles' Creed. 2. The Nicene Creed. 3. A modern Statement or Declaration of Doctrine, say that of the three Scottish Churches, printed at pages 5-7 of the paper entitled " Doctrinsil Bases of Union," or the 24 Articles of the English Presbyterian Church, printed at pages 20-24 of the same paper. In addition to these three, the Committee recommend that the united Church resolve to hold in veneration and as useful for edification the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and the Heidelberg Catechism. It is not thought desirable to enter into the question of formulas, or forms of ordination until the views of ,he Presbyteries and bodi..- corresponding thereto, in India, on the Doctrinal basis proper, are received. III. In regard to Lnral Organhatiim the Committee recommend :— 1. That there be a Ueneral Assembly, to meet once every two or throe years, the principal lan- guage being KnglLsh, but not to the exclusicm of the various vernaculars when necessary. 2. That there be five Synods, to meet annually, and de.al finally with all matters purely pro- vincial ; VIZ : — / aj Synod of Madras, embracing the districts covered by the missions of the Church of Scot- land, Free Church of Scotland, Reformed (Dutch) Church of America, and Reformed Church of Holland, in the Madras Presidency and Ceylon.

The Board of French EvanKehzation in presenting its Ann , le ntio-^ ^ tlie general outlook of the field of itf* operations. The ,ii ;ep- -t defiircH to direct attentio-^ ^ the general outlook of the field of its operation?. The ,ii and alarming growth of uluaniontaniMni is a fact publicly enipha.sized in all parts of the Dominion. The people of other ProvinciH as well as of Quebec begin to realize in practical forms the danger to education, to religion, to the interests of true morality, and to the free institutions of the country which this involves. Hence active measures, which it does not belong to this Board to report, have recently been adopted to counteract these evils. The need of organization and of vigorous and united efforts to maintain their rights and to resist encroachments upon them is more deeply felt by Protestants than ever heretofore. The religious, and, to some extent, the independent secular press is speaking out upon the subject. This is helpful, and gives promise of good results in the future. But while gladly recognizing every movement which makes for righteousness and freedom, it is believed that permanent success is to be achieved only along the lines of gcspel activity pursued by the General Assembly through the missionaries of this Board. A healthy, trust-worthv and thoroughly patriotic christian spirit is to be kindled among the people enslaved througn superstition and error, by teaching tiiem the truth of God from house to house, in mission schools, and properly equipped churches. Wiien this is done upon a much larger scale than at present they will voluntarily cast otFthe yoke of priestly oppression, and, instead of being a cause of anxiety and possible disintegration, will become a homogeneous factor in the progressive national life and christifxnity of our country. Already there are wide-spread and marked symptoms among French Roman Catholics themselves of the bitter discontent with which they endure the heavy exactions of the church. In the case of hundreds and thousands of the most intelligent of the people this movement from within takes tlie direction of demanding an entire separation between church and state, the abolition of legalized tithes and church mies, the secularization of elementary education in the sense of eettiHg it free from clerical control, the inspection by government officers of ail monastic or conventual institutions, and the compulsion of the Sulpician Seminary and other enorniouslj' wealthy ecclesiastical corporations to renderanacoount of the expenditure of revenues received for certain specific purposes. We may regard the advocates of this programme as the true party of progress, the patriots of the day, deserving of all possible encouragement. They ar>» those among whom the light of truth from without is shining more and more clearly in spite of efforts to the contrary. They are also driven to these measures by a seiisi' of oppression intensified by the undisguised boldness with which I'l^clesiastics iiave of late claimed jurisdiction in civil as well as religious nuitters, and the reailiness with which civil rulers have yielded to this unjust and dangerous assertion oi" jwwer.

To many of our friends, we can j^ive but an imperfect idea of tl»o nature of our work; for only a minHionary of Ion;; Htanilin;;; can umierstand fully the importance of our mission, ilH dilllcultieH and its encourutiement.-*. Only Hucii as have passed a life-lime in the midMtof a Roman Catholic population and have thuH been brou^^ht into clone contact witli the Hluve^* of the hierarchy, can fatiiom tho abyHH of if^norance and corru|)ti()n into which the Ilomish system casts its faithful followers. Some of our n the accompanying schedule. The following notes are given concerning a few of the fields: — GBA»n Falls, N. B. — The Rev. A. J. Lods has been labouring in this field for the past year, Ms hulary being met in part bv the Home Mission Hoard of the Maritime Provinces. He nriteshope.'.illy of his work. His average attendanci at the sabbath morninf; service at Grand Falls is 25 and at the evening service 76. He has recently opened a preaching station at Salmon River Millf where he conducts service in theafternoon to '\n average attendance of 25. There is a large French Catholic population in and around Grand Falls whom Mr. Lods seeks to reach andT)enefit. Th ■ people contributed $80 towards the missionary's salary, and hope to increase this amount for the current year. Miscou, N. B. — Mr. Jos. Menard spent last summer teaching in this district. The num- ber on the roll of the dav school was 42, all of whom were the children of French Catholics. At the other end of the Island Mr. Menard has recently opened a school which promises to be largely attended. He hopes this summer to establish one or two regular preaching stations with saboath schools. The population of the Islam! is almost entirely French. Bat or Chaleur. — On the north shore of this ^ay Mr. T.St. Aubin labored last summer, visiting ami conducti:.<" service as opportunity offered amongst the French in Bonaventure and Gaspc counties. He gaineil entrance into many homes and sowed seed which, it is hoped, may bear abundant fruit. Lake St. John District. — The Board hopes to secure theservicesof a missionary to visit the scattered settlers along the line of Railway from Quebec to Lake St. John and from there to Chicoutimi during the ensuing summer. The Missionarv now laboring at Port a Persil and l^ointe aux BouTeau is to visit the settlemeiits on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence for forty or fifty miles east of the Saguenay River. Lkvis, Que. — The French Mission school opened here last summer did not succeed, the Protestant children attending the regular English Protestant school. Mr. M. Menard's Sabbath services were attended by from 15 to 20. The Rev. T. Z. Lefebvre now gives service here in conjunction with Quebec City. St. Francis District. — Mr. Charbcnnell has eirrht preaching stations under his care in this widely extended district, the average attendance at each being about .30. A new Mission Church is being erected at Spider Lake which will be completed next month. The Mission School at Ditchfield is this summer taught by Miss V. Lagrave, one of the senior pupils of the Poiiile aux Trembles Schools. Mr. V. Lamoise has been appointed to colport in the Western part of the district, and has recently begun the work under the supervision of the Rev. A. Lee of Sherbrooke. HooHBi.AOA. — The new Mission Church and school room, of which mention was made in last year's report, has been completed and opened in March last free from debt. The total cost of the churi>,h and lot was a little over $6,000. The church has accommodation for 250 and is attractive and comfortable. The adjoining school room contains desks for 40 pupils. Above il is a residence for the Teacher. The whole building is heated with hot water, r.nd is an ornament to tiie district as well as a credit to the congregation and to its pastor, the Rev. R. P. Duclos, who collected the greater part of the money required for the building. Since the opening of the church the attendance at all the services has considerably increased, and the pupils attending the mission day school now number between 25 and 30. St. Jean Baptistb. — ilie Students Missionary Society of the Presbyterian College, Montr real, have undertaken the support of a Mission here. Tiiey have already collected about$3,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a suitable building. Meantime they have rented Appendix No. 11. IX. an unoccupied store in which a da^r school has been opened with an attendance of 44, of whom 38 are Roman Catholics. An evening school has also been established with most encouraging results, no fewer than 24 Roman Catholics attending, nearly all of whom are engaged at work during the day. St. John's Church, Montreal — This congregation have themselves subscribed alwut $1,300 for the erection of a new church on the site adjoining the present Russell Hall. The Board has agreed to give wiiem this site together with part of the proceeds of the sale of the Russell Hall property, on condition that the new church is opened free from debt, including accommodation for the French and Italian Mission day schools. The Rev. C. Chiniquy is aiding the congregation in this effort and it is hoped that the whole $10,000 required may soon be forthcoming. This congregation raised last year $680. With a suitable new church, it is expected that ere long it will be self-supporting. Twenty-four new members were added during the year. Italian Mission, Montreal. — This congregation holds its own notwithstanding the inconvenient hour at which the sabbath service takes place. With a cliurch and school building of their own the attendance would greatly increase. At present from 40 to 50 attend the service at five o'clock on Sabbath afternoon. On the roll of the day school there are 40 pupils, of whom 30 are Roman Catholics. The evening school has 45 scholars, 25 of whom are Catholics. This Mission has been of incalculable benefit, materially, morally and spir- itually, to the Italian population of the citv. What large hearted Christian friend will pro- vide the means necessary to secure suitable mission buildings for this class of our people? It is doubtful if a better investment could anywhere be made. Joliktte, Que. — This congregation were disappointed during the ye.ir in securing the services of a regular pastor whom they desired to have placed over them. They have, liow- ever, picked up courage and are now prospering under the ministrations of Mr. L. R. Bouchard, a Tiieological Student of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, who graduates next spring. Ours is the only Protestant Church in this city. The same thing is true of nearly all the French Missions under the care of the Board. Grenvillk. — The Rev. G. C. Mousseau was appointed to this field in January last. There are here forty families, some of whom arc English. Tlie French contributed $57 and the English $28 towards his salary. Mr. Mousseau feels encouraged in iiis work. Tlie Mission day school, under the faithful labors of Mr. P. E. St. Germain, makes satisfaotory progress. There are 50 pupils on the roll, of whom 15 are from Roman Catholic homes. L'ange Gardien. — The Rev. P. S. Vernier continues to labor with great zeal in the widely extended field committed to him. He has three regular preaching stations and two others visited by him from time to time. There are five or six mission or (^issentieni'schools in the district. Mr. Vernier stands well with the Roman Catholic section Oi' the community, and is a manifest f^wer for good among them. He is assisted in his field this summer by two of our French students. St. Mark's, Ottawa. — This congregation last year raised $300. They own a most com- fortable and attractive, though small, church building, which was seated with pews last fall. The attendance has increased during the year, especially at the mornin" service, which is attended by the resident teachers and boarders of Coligny Collei;e. Besides the Rev. S. Rondeau, the pastor of tlie congregation, a colporteur is employed in Ottawa, Hull, and the adjoining districts. Glengarry, Oht. — The Rev. C. Cliiniqny visited this county last winter and held f everal meetings among the large number of French Canadians settled there, many of whom are dissatisfied witli the church of Rome. Following up this movement, the Board have appointed two of their student missionaries to labor in the county during this summer. Ste. Anne, Illinois. — Progress still marks the French community here. Under the Rev. P. Boudreau the congregation is prospering. The families claiming connection with the church number 200, and the average Sabbath attenu e is nearly. 300. The day school, whicli is now self-supporting, has 3 teachers ami 156 pu ' . ind the attendance at the Sab- liatli School is 210. ihe two French Presbyterian cong ,y'» Ions of Ste. Anne were happily united two years ago. There is need for a new and lai^ - •'' ;.urch Buildinj;. With the pro- ceeds of the sale of the two existing churches the congregation would be aulc themselves to contribute sufficient to erect a liandsome new Church and School. the X.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE AGED AND INFIRM MINISTERS' FUND (WESTERN SEC- TION), FOR THE YEAR ENDING APRIL 30TH, 1 890. The C.>mmittee on the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund (Western Section), begs leave to submit its Report for the year ending April 30th, 1S90. In doing so, while unwilling to repeat the somewhat chronic expression of regret which has appeared in previous reports, it may be per- mitted to say that in a Christian Church, which in many respects gives evidence of fair Uberality, it is a cause of wonder that after all the attention that ha^ been directed to the Fund, and the presentation of the special claims of those who are on it, a response commensurate with tbs need has not yet been reached. No direct special appeal was made during the year on behalf of the Ordinary Fund, while at the same time the claims of that branch were not overlooked when pre- senting those of the Endowment, One reason for this is that it did not seem wise to press the two branches at the same time, and also it was felt that the thorough presentation of the claims of the Ordinary Fund during previous years should lead to favourable results, without a special appeal just now. No improvement, however, has resulted, but rather a small falling otf in the contributions from congregations. Consequently the Committee was not able to do any- thing in the way of making up to the annuitants entitled to the full $220, the $20 short for the previous year, and owing to the funds not admitting of its being done, it has been found necessary to restrict the payments for the year now reported on, to the $200 limit. This leaves a heavy accumulating moral debt against the Church in favour of those claimants on the Fund who have laboured longest in work of the Ministry. Nor is that all, for while Ministers' Rates and Interest on Capital have been absorbed in paying up to the $200 limit, the Fund is in debt ; and if the moral debt is to be recognized, then there is due to the annuitants from the previous year $895, and for the year now reported, $865, or together the sum of $1,760, or thereabouts. The contributions from congregations were $408.23 less than in the previous year. Ministers' Bates were about equal, while there was an increase in interest of $113.32. As to the door at which the responsibility lies the Committee does not now express an opinion. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, 1889-00. RECEIPTS.

Blair, D.D., who was permitted by the (General Assembly to retire from the active iluties of ministry two years ago, was i)laced upim the Fund, his annuity (of two hundred dollars) to begin May 1st. 1890. A similar application from Halifax on behalf of the Uev. George Christie was also received and favourably entertained, and the Committee agreed to grant Mr. Christie an annuity of two hundreil dollars from Maj' 1st, 1890, This application also makes request of the (Jeneral Assembly, with Ccmimittee's approval, to gr.tnt Mr. Christie leave to retire from the active duties of the Ministry. The Committee have likewise received applications from Uev. Kdwin Smith and Kov. .T. W. McLennan, J. F. Dustan, to join the Fund, and as these brethren have been settled for a number of years and can only become members of the Fund, by itermission of the (xeneral Assembly, the Com- mittee unanimously agreed to ask the General Assembly to grant them their request in terms of the 7th regulation. The Committee is gratified to find a very commendable increase (.?12l>.41) incoUoction.^ from congregations as compareil with the year preceding, but regrets to find a very ccjnsiderable decrease (100.53) in rates from ministers. It is a matter of deep regret that so many of the younger brethren have not become personally identified with the Fund. The Committee feel that the success of this Fund, more perhaps, than that of any of the other schemes, depends very largely, if not exclusively, up(m the interest which the ministers take in it. The Committee is fully persuaded that if all of our ministers were fully alive to the imiiortanoe of this Fund, were regular contributors to the Fund, and careful to see that an annual contribution to the Fund was forwarded from each of their congregations, it woiddsoon be in a position to increase the annuities to the full amounts contemplated by t le Asieiubly in its regulations for the Fund. Itespectfully submitted, Edward Grant, Convenet: APPEWDIX No. 18. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHlllSTIAN UNION. The following communication was aildr^ssed l)y the Rev. Provost Body, Secretary o( the Committee of the Church of England on Christian Union, to the Uev. Dr. Beid, and by him transmitted to the Convener of the Committee of the General Assembly : — " I have been requested by the Committee on Chrintian Union, appointed at the last Snasion of the I'rovinoial Synod of the Church of England in Canada, to convey to the presiding otIiaerB of the Ueneral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada the following resolution, adopted by the Provincial Synod : — ' Itesolved, that a joint Committee of both houses ou Christian Union be appointed to bold itself in readiness to confer with similar committees that may be appointed by other Christian bodies for this purpose, upon the preliminary basis embodied in the Lambeth llesolutions.' I believe that I am oorreot in transmitting this to yourself, as the Chief Clerk of the Assembly, for its communication to that body at its next meeting." The resolution of the Provincial Kynod, it will be ou trveA, is intended to be communicated to the Geneial Assembly. It has, therefore, appeared to your Committee that it could not, with advantage to the cause of Union, seek further conference with the Committee of the other negoti- ating Churches until the General Asiembly had the opportunity of considering this resolution and giving to your Committee, should you see tit to re-appoint it, such instruction as should seem necessary or proper. The part of the Lambeth Resolutions which sets forth the necessary basis o( negotiations for union is as follows:—" In the opinion of this Conference the foUowini; Articles supply a basis on which approach may, by Qod's blessing, be made towards Home Ue-union : (a) Tue Holy Scriptures cf the Old and New Testaments as 'containing all things necessary to salvation,' and as being the rule and ultimate standard of faith, (h) The Apostles' Greed as the baptismal Symbol, and the Nicene Creed as the eutlicieut statement of the Christian faith, (c) The two Sacraments ordained by Christ Himself — Baptism and tho Supper of the Lord— ministered with unfailing use of Christ's Words of Institution, and of the Elements Ordained by Him. (d) The Historic Episcopate locally adopted in the methods of its administration to the varying needs of the nations and peoples called of God into the unity of His Church." At the Conference held by your Committee, in April of last year, with the Committees of the other Churches, the several topics here enumerated were under consideration, except the last — tho Historic Episcopate. This subject was introduced by a paper setting forth the views of the Committee of the Ghnrob of England, but the Conference closed before there was time for com- parison of views. Your Committee would submit to the General Assembly that the following points are of capital importance in any farther negotiations which may be held, (a) The adequacy or inade- quacy of the doctrinal basis proposed in the Lambeth Resolutions, (b) The necessity, in order to acceptance of the fourth Article in the proposed basis, of such detinitiou of the Historic Episcopate as shall be in harmony with the teachings of the New Testament regarding the Constitution of the Christian Church and the identity of the New Testament Bishop and Presbyter. Your Committee would again bear testimony to the courtesy and brotherly kindness mani- fested on all hands in the Conference of last year, and their regret that, from whatever cause, thby oinnot report any farther steps taken towards Union since the last meeting of the General Assembly. It remains with the Assembly to determine whether it deems it expedient to seek farther negotiations for Union, ou the preliminary basis now sanationed by the Provincial Synod of the Church of England ; or, should this not commend itself to the General Assembly, whether, as suggested in the latter part of the Lambeth Resolutions, steps may not be taken towards securing with the negotiating Churches " such relations as may prepare the way for fuller organic Unity hereafter." All which is respectfully submitted, WAI. CAVEN, Convener of Com. on Union. APPENDIX Xn. I'.). RHl^ORT Ol- THI-: THK CHURCH (MANMTOHA), HOARD OF MANAC.I-NH'X r Ol' AND MANSE HUH. DING I-IND 1 Sqo.

The Church at Wheatland was burned, and the Board agreed to remit the t duo, if t)ie con- gregation would rebuild the Chnrch at the nearest railway station. The offer was accepted, and a Church will likely be built this summer. At Rossburn, Silver Creek, Caldwell, Gilbert Plain, Maple Creek, Shanks, Oaklands, Wawanesa and other points, buildings are to be erected this year and the assistance of the Board is sought. STATK OK THE FUND. The Treasurer's statement shows that there was a balance of .*i9,4.')8.90 to the credit of the Board at the time of the last report. There was received from repayments of loans made in previous years, ^2,74r).81 ; from subscriptions, .^789.13; and interest, ^1.55.80; making a total of .Sl3,149.ti4. There was also advanced to congregations in grants and loans 859,179.03, and the expense of Manage- ment, printing, correspondence, a ahkkd. There are whole counties in Ontario from which little has been received. Several cities and large towns have scarcely a name on the subscription list ; to them the wants of the V/est appeal. THANK.S. For the generous help extended to this Fund by members .and adherents of the Churcli, the Board returns its best thanks. One contributor never failed to remember the work during all the years the Board has been in existence. HKCOHP or WORK. The work done by the Board is the best argument for its supjjort. For the eiiclit years preceding its organization there were built in the Synod only hfteen churches or scarcely mi average of two per year. For the eight years since, 15(i buildings have been erected, or an average of nearly 20 a year. The 24 manses built save over fjiJiOOO in rent, or more than 7 per cent, on all the loney given by the Church for the whole work. The churches give visibility to religion, help t0. .1': REPORT ON SYSTEMATIC BENE. ICENCE. The Western Section of your Committee has received no report from any Synod, nor from any Presbytery except that of Guelph. It is therefore impossible, so far as the West ia concerned, to jjreaent a lleport to the (ieneral Assembly which shall exhil)it the progress of the Church in S^'ste- matic tjiving, or the efforts which have been made to promote such progress. The Statistical Report will d(mbtle3s supply in a good measure the data from which conclusions may be drawn respecting the important subject to which this Ue|)ort relates. The Presbytery of Guelph issued a oircular to the families members and adherents of the Church within its bounds, setting forth the estimates for the year, which were carefully prepared by the Agents of the Church,, as also the anvmnt which, in accordance with these estimates, should be con- tributed, per family, towards each of the schemes. The circular farther urges the great Christian motives to lilierality, and asks member and adherent to consider the duty of setting apart a certain proportion of revenue or means for the work of the Lord. Such a statement and appeal sent into the families of the Cliurch cantitit fail to produce fruit. iHving is undoubtedly an ordinance of worship and cannot be neglected or inadequately per- formed without dishonour to (Jod and injury to the soul. Systematic and adequate giving is an important means rf destroying the love of the world in the human heart, and of derelopmg that love of Christ and of His Church which rejoices to make sacrifices for His sake. It is of the utmost consequence that our larger and wealthier congregations, especially, should contribute for the extension of the Redeemer's Kingdom in the world in some good pro])ortion to what they expend for congregational purposes, and that all congregations, whether settled or vacant, should faithfully bear their part in carrying on the general work of the Church. Tiie Committee would respectfully present to the Assembly the following recommendations for adoption : - 1. That all the members of our Church be earnestly advised to adopt the principle of systematic giving in supjiort of the Redeemer's cause, at home and abroad, as required by Christian steward- ship. 2. That congregations practice the method, as far as possible, of weiekly offering. 'i. That ministers be reminded of the duty of faithfully instructing their people in the Scrip- tural principles of giving and of discountenancing unscriptural methods of raising money for religious purposes ; and that they use means to keep their people thoroughly informed concerning the work of the Church and its claims upon their lilierality. 4. That those who are charged with oversight and instruction of the young use special efforts to train them to take an interest in, and to contribute for, the work of the Church, 5. That the Committee on Systenmtic Beneficence in each Presbytery endeavour to meet, under direction of Presbytery, with Sessions and Managers of Congregations wliere there is lack of system in collecting for Congregational purposes or for the Schemes of the Church, and, if possible, secure tiie adoption of and efficient working of some plan that will produce better results. All which is respectfully submittsd. W. CAVEN, Convener, APPENDIX Ko. Ql. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHURCH ARCHITECTURE. To T.ie VcnerahU The General AssemhJy .— Althnuijh two years have now passed since your Committee on Church Architecture was ap- pointed, and althous;h no visible results of their labours h^ve hitherto appeared, yet we can assure you that we have not been unmindful of the important duties with which we were then charged. If we may judge from the number of inquiries made with reference to the issue of the proposed book of designs by those who are thinking of building churches, we will havj no ditfi nilty in believ- in? that if, by our effi)r_t3, a suitable book is published it will supply a want now very generally felt. After consulting with several architects as to the best method of improving our church architec- ture, we have decided to recommend the following scheme for your consideration. If adopted we have reason to believe that it will have the hearty co-operation of the architects of Ciuada, and will result in the improvement of our church buildings. The following are the recommendations which your Committee would offer :— Ist. That deiigns be asked from the architect-t of Canada for churches of all sizes and descrip- tions to meet the wants of our church services and other requirements. 2nd. That premiun< of $?■), .?)( and iSio respectively, b? given to the three best designs sent in, not as a recompense for the work of those who send in designs, but as an acknowledgment of their services in givini^' us their assistance in this most important undertaking. 3rd. That illustrations be made of all such designs as may be approved of by the Committee of Architects, to be appointed for the purpose of jud.;ing the respective merits of the designs. 4th. That a pamphlet be published containing the following information :— (a) The report of the Aw.>rd of the Committee of experts on the designs sent in, with such fiirther remarks as they may deem projier to make. (b) An article pointing out the defects in our church architecture and pointing out how such de- fects may bs remedied. (e) Two or three short articles on church architecture written by persons competent to deal with the subject. (d) T*o or three short criticisms of the illustrated designs by qualified parties. (c) Explanations (with full information as to costs) supplied by each of the authors of the illustrated designs, corrected by competent persons. .5th. We estimate the cost of carrying out this scheme at about 8>00, and would ask the Genera Assembly for a grant of 8150, for the three premiums. Your Committee hope that enough may be realized from the sale of the book to meet the cost of publishing. The Ontario Association of Architects has kindly undertaken to conduct the competition, place the competitive designs in order of merit and report on the same. This will relieve us of a most difficult portion of the work and we have the assurance that the ri»port of such Committee will be the work of mo^t capable men. T.ie report and criticisms which thoy will furnish will be of great service. All of which is most respectfully submitted. J. CUMBERLAND, Convener. i6 APPENDIX No. 2Q. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON "THE PRESBYTERIAN RECORD," 1S89-90. The average circulation for the iiast year was 44,1)08, an increase of 4,017 over the preceding year. The issue for June 1890 was 46,500. The increase of circuLition this year is chiefly due to a number of the older congregations supplying each family with a copy of the ' ' Record. " The circulation in the Mission Stations remains about tne same as last year. There is still room for a large increase — many of the congregations being still very inadequately supplied. In regard to the Overture transmitted to the " llecord " Committee by last General Assemlily (page liO, printed minutes of Assembly), the Committee having met and carefully considered tlie matter referred to them, Kesolved as follows :— "That this Committee, fully realizing the vast importance of such a publication endorsed by, and under the control of the General Assembly, respectfully recommends that the Standing Com- mittee on the " Record " be enlarged by the addition of three names, and that from this Committee a sub-committee be formed in this behalf, one of the saii i Committee to be named by the General Assembly as Managing Editor of the proposed " IHustrated Record for the Young " ; and that it be remitted to the Committee on the "Record" forthwith, to take such steps as shall seem to them bent for commencing the publication and bringing it under the notice of the congregations and .Sabbath Schools of the Church."

In piesentini; theii- reiiort for tlie yccar lS8'J-!)0, your Cmiiniittfe would refer for jjarticnlars to the two Appendices herewitll piiblislieii ; the tir^t of these containing the names of Presbyteries in the section of tlie Church witli wliich they have to do, and showing,' those which have not recognized the Committee in any form -those which have j,'iven it a partial recoj,'nition— and those which have made regular and faithful leturns of their Vacancies, and applied for and accepted a full or partial apportionment of the services of Probationers ; and the second, giving the names of Probationers, the Presbyteries certifying tliem, the date of tlieir being placed on the List, and their removal from it, whether by settlement, withdrawal, or omission through expiry of allotted time, or their remain- ing on for service. From Appendix I. it will be seen that there are 25 Presbyteries in the Section of the Church embraced in the operations of your Committee, namely, those in the 3 Synods of Montreal and Ottawa, of Toronto and Kingston, and of Hamilton and London. Of these Presbyteries, 4, namely, Montreal, Lanark and Renfrew, Brockville and Saugeen,* did not send in any report of vacancies, nor any application for supply any ))art of the year. The Presbytery of Kingston one quarter reported "no vacancies," but did not report subsequently. The Presbytery of Owen Sound rei>orted 1 vacancy one quarter, but sent no subsetiuent report. The Presbytery of Sarnia reported for two (]uarter8, and was silent for two. Huron reported for one quarter, and for no more. Mait- land reported for the first three (quarters, but not for the last one. It is not professed that this is a full enmneration, but it is a specimen of the course pursued by Presbyteries towards the Committee, and that in opposition to the injunction of the General Assembly, and the two Synods of Toronto and Kingston, of Hamilton and London to send in reports of all vacancies in their boimds for full or partial supply. It may be that others besides Saugeen did not report because they had no vacancies, but whether such existed or not it would have been more satisfactory, not to say more courteous and dutiful, if reports had been furnished stating the fact. Of the 15 or Iti presbyteries which have respected the authority of the Church Courts, .Supreme and Subordinate, it will be seen, on referring to the Appendix, that the Presbytery of Hamilton occupies the first place as to the number of vacancies reported in its bounds, while mention must be made, also, of Chatham, which not only reported its vacancies, but applied not for partial but for full supply. Adding the vacancies it will be found_ that they number 77. It will also be seen that of these, ■J5, or about 154 per cent, were settled, leaving 52 of those leported without pastors at date. Appendix II. contains the names of Probationers whose services were ijlaced at the disposal of the Committee for longer or shorter periods during the year. The number was 34, and of these 2 were put on the Koll in 1887 ; i) in 1888 ; 1!> in 1889 ; and 4 in April of the year now current. (.)f the entire number 2 were dropped as the time prescribed for their service had expired ; 1 was struck off, the assurance having been given that he had undertaken certain duties in the Ignited States, although he himself hivd not communicated with the Committee, and the Committee having made a vain effort to communicate with him, their letter being returned after a considerable period from the Dead Letter Ottice. One withdrew after being but a short time on the list, without assigning any reason ; 4 took apiuiintments to mission work in the North-west, lU' in our own more immediate neighbourhood ; 12 were settled in charges to which they were called ; and 14 remain on the Koll. During the first (piarter the Committee were able to give appointments for eight weeks to each Probationer, of whom there were 20 on the Koll ; during the second quarter, Sabbaths to each of 22 ; during the third quarter 11 to each of 14 ; and during the present quarter i>to each of 15. Full returns of vacancies from Presbyteries would liave secured full employments for all the men, and more, at the disposal of the Committee. From the facts thus laid before it the General Assembly will see that of the 25 settlements in pastoral charges which took jflace during the year, 12 or about one-half were by men whose names were on the Roll of Probationers. * It is learned from the Couveuer of Committee in this Presb) 1 3ry that the reason (or not reporting was that there were no vacaucios. Ho lung as such existed suppiy was asked. Appf.ndix No. 23 Your Committee have no means of jtidfenug liow miiny of tli? other settlements were by miniaterg without charge, by Licentiates, or translations of ministers from one charge to another.

It will n.>t surprise the Assemlily, however, wli^n the Committee state that a dissatisfaction with the state of matters brou^dit out in this rep<>rt, as it has been brought ou*; in previous ones, which has been felt and been growiiij? for some time, has now aasnmeil a degree which calls tor djcided action on their part. They think that they have evidence that they do not sufficiently possess the sympathy of Presbyteries nor the confidence of IJrentiates and vacant congregations in the func- tions to which they have been coiled. They feel, too, that this state of matters will never be remedied so lon^ as some Presbyteries are not faithful and loyal to the injunctions of the higher courts of the Church. _ Taking these things into consideration, it was unanimously agreed as follows at their meeting in Marcn : " That in view of the large number of Presliyteries th it make no return what- ever to the Committee, an 1 others that refuse, for various reasons, to take any supply for their vacancies, and the additional fact that students attending Collo','e, and Prob.ati(mers, some of the latter not yet received by the Gener.il Assembly, and not eligible, in the meantime, to be called, are appointed by Presbyteries direct to preach in vacancies, to the great disadvantage of Probationers on the List, thus rendering the labours of the Committee of comparatively little value to the Church at large, the members of the Committee respectfully reiiuest the General Assembly, in the event of th? scheme l)eing continue 1, to relieve them from further service, an-1 appoint others in their plioe." All of which is respeotf iilly submitted. K. J. liAIDLAW, Convener, June,1890. KOBEHT TORRANCE, Clerk: Appk.\I)ix l.-VACAXCIES AND SETTLEMENTS, 1889-1890. Presbttkries. Quebec Montreal Ottawa . . .

APPENDIX No. 21 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATISTICS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER, 1889. The laHt Greneral Assembly, in appointing its Committee on Statistics, placed on it eleven mem- l)ers by name with "the Conveners of the Presbyteries' Committees." As there are forty-three Presbyteries in the Church within the Dominion of Canada, and each of these has its Committee on Statistics with a Convener, or has some person, generally the Clerk, who has charge of collecting and tabvilating the Statistical Returns and Financial Statements of congregations and stations, it will be seen that the Assembly's Committee was a large one ; unprecedentedly, and, it may be thought, unnecessarily large. The first duty of the Convener was to correspond with the Clerk of each Presbytery inquiring the name of the Presbytery's Committee on Statistics, and some time elapsed before replies were received ; partly owing to distance, and partly owing to the absence from home of those to whom the letter was addresseil. After replies bad been received from most, the Convener called a meeting of the whole Committee in Guelph, as, upon the whole, the most central and convenient place to the greatest number of members. At this meeting, at which there were only comparatively few present —not one-sixth of the members— the questions to be sent out for the year were carefully considered and agreed upon. One wliich was adopted and printed on the slips sent out to congregations and stations has been omitted, owing to an oversight of the printer, from the sheet prepared for Presby- teries ; but care can be taken to secure its insertion in future years, should the Committees that may be appointed by the Supreme Court see proper to continue it. The Committee is glad to be able to state that the returns have been more satisfactory, both as to accuracy and fullness, and, with a few exceptions, earlier as to date, than in former years ; facts which m.ay be recognized as proving the propriety of the action of the Assembly when it enjoined congregations and stations to close their year for reporting with the calendar year. It was known that this bad been the practice of the groat majority ; the practice has now become almost universal, only one Presbytery reporting that there are three exceptions in its bounds, although there is reason to believe that the injunction has not been carried out in a number of instances in regard to the Schemes of the Church, It is presumed by the Committee that they can follow no better course in compiling their Report this year than that which has been adopted by Committees in preceding years. It was thought that the questions in the Statistical department might be classified and grouped under certain heads, and the results presented in a more collected form, but consideration has led to the conviction that this cannot well be done ; and the comparison which it is proposed to institute between the j)ast and previotis years can be more easily and satisfactorily conducted by adhering to the course formerly adopted. ii.

The Syniid of Toronto and Kingston contains 10 Presbyteries, and these re port S'Xi churclies and stations forniinK pastoral chaiges. This shows an increase of 2tt on those previously reiiorted ; tho Prealiytery of Kincstun giving an intrease of i> ; that of Whitby of 1 ; Lindtay of 4 ; Toronto of ."> ; Orangeville of 3; Bariie of 7; Saugeen of 3; (iuelph of 3; in all 31. Peterborough remains the same both years, and Owen Sounil shows a decrease of 2. The Synod of Hamilton and London has '.) Presbyteries in its bounds, and these report 322 churclies and connected stations, being an increase of 4 on those returned in the previous report. The Presbytery of Hamilton reports an increase of 5 ; that of Paris of 3 ; Loudon, Chatham, and Stratford (jf 1 each : in all 11 ; Huron gives a elecrease of 2 ; Maitland of 3 ; Bruce auel Sarnia of 1 each ; in all 7 : leaving the increase as already nientioneei. In the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories there are now 7 Presbyteries— it is only a few years ago when there was but 1— with 423 connected churches and stations, several of these being designated Mission Congregations, being an increase of U4 on those reported for the preceding year. The Presbytery of Winniiieg shows an increase of 10 ; Kock Lake remains the same eacli ^ear ; Brandon gives a elecrease of 18 ; Kegiua of (i ; Calgary of 3 ; Columbia of 1 ; in all 28 ; while m the new Presbytery of Minueehisa there are 70, including Indian Missions. When this Presbytery was set apart it was composed of 1.") ministers, 1 of these retired. The elecrease in some of the other Presbyteries may be explaineel by removing congregations from them to form the Presbytery of Minnedosa. Collecting the numbers which have thus been presented, and adding 9 from ' ' Delayed Ueturns," there are 1,920 churches and connected stations reirarted, against 1,837 in the preceding year, being an increase of 83. With this increase of pastoral charges your Committee have to report, as might be expected, an increase of accommodation, although a detailed comparison brings to view discrepancies for which it is ditticult to account. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces there is an increase of 7,045 in the number of sittings. Three Presbyteries sho»v a decrease of 1,7.58. In 1 of these, Sydney, the decrease has been 1,0;W ; in another, Victoria and Richmond, 230 ; and in the thirtl, Halifax, 4tlO. Truro, however, gives an increase of 220 ; Wallace, 75 ; Pictou, 1320 ; Prince Kdwaid Island, 4,!M)5 ; Lunenburg and Shelburne, 250 ; St. John, 1,000 ; Miramichi, 100 ; and Newfoundland, 273. Tho aggregate increases amount to 8,803, and the decreases to 1,758, giving as before 7,045 as tlie net increase. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa there has been a elecrease of 1,954. The Presbytery r>f Cjuebec gives an increase of 100; that of Montreal of 157; that of Glengarry of 540 ; anef tlmt eif Ottawa of 445 ; in all 1,242 : while that e,f Lanark and Renfrew gives a elecrease of 1,821, and that of Brockville of 1,375 ; in all 3,190, or a net increase, as previously stated, of 1,954. Each one of the Presbyteries in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston shows an increase in the accommodation provided for those who attend public ordinances. In some instances the increase is large, as in the case of Toronto, 2,035 ; Kingston, 2,075 ; Barrie, 1,134 ; Guelph, 1,041 ; Owen Sound gives 715 ; Lindsay, 575 ; Orangeville, .".00 ; Saugeen, 480 ; Peterloro', 425 ; Whitby, 130 ; in all 9,770. Three Presbyteries in the Synod of Hamilte)n anel London report a elecrease of 1,035 ; namely, Stratford, 095 ; Maitland, 120 ; and Sarnia, 820. On the other hand report increases aggregating 4,350 ; namely, Hamilton, 1,515 ; Paris, 530 ; London, 1,015 ; Chatham, 950 ; Huron and Bruce, each, 170 ; giving a net increase for the Synod of 2,715. Of the Presbyteries existing in the Synod ot Manitoba and the North-West Territories, and an increase for the Synod in tiie one year, as compareel with the other, of 3,389. The total increase of the sitting accommodation in churches and stations constituting p.i8toral charges is 19,030; the sum total for 1888 having been, inclueling delayed returns, 435,177, and 454,207 for 1889. The increase in 1888, compared with 1887, was 8,400; and thus there have been added in the two years, 27,490. Your Committee proceed to an interesting and important item in the returns when they take up the families connected with congregations and stations. Of these the total number was 83,100. In 1888 it was 79,078, showing an increase of 3,422 ; or, if we reckon an average of 5 to each family, aa increase of 17,110 souls.

From this h.is to be taken a decreato o' 05 in lirandou Presbytery, leaving .'i01>, to which have to be added the families in Minnedosa, the name of which appears for the first time in the report, 828, giving the aggregate as before, 1,3.'<7. Your Committee will not dwell in detail upon the number of single persons attending places of worship and of whom knowledge is taken by the Kirk Sessions of Congregations. They would confine themselves tu the statement that in the preceding report to the Arsembly the aggregate was given as 12,203 ; in this report they sum up to 13,7PJ, an increase of 1,510. The Committee will not spend time in trying to account for this increase. They presume it is not wholly owing to an actual increase in the number of such persons, but in part, at least, to fuller returns. It would lie gratifying to them to know if remarks which have been made in previous reports has called the attention of thube who were neglecting this element in the religious community to a part of their Work which must be regarded as of great importance. If pastors and ruling elders cannot overtake this duty let them enlist those young people connected with one or other of the organizations which have been formed in their congregations to look after the strangers who come among them, bring them to the pastor, or speak to him of them, that they may be brought or kept under that oversight for which parents will be thankful, by which their own best interests will be subserved, and through which strength will be given tu the Church. No more important item is contained in this Report than the one presenting the number of communicants on the rolls of the different Kirk Sessicms. Tliroughout tho Church comniunicants are understood to be, and, if true to their profession, they are, members of the body of Christ, separated from the world, and joined to Him who is the head of all gracii>us influence in the meantime, and who has engaged to take them to be with Him that they may behold Him in the glory in which He is now enthnmed. It has been the work of the Church to gather them in from the world ; and her special duty now to them is to build them up in their most holy fai'h till they reach the measure of the stature of the fulness of Chribt. They represent those whom the Father has loved with an everlasting love; whom the Redeemer has purchased with His own blood ; and in whom the Holy Ghost has taken up His abode. They are the salt of the earth ; the light of the world ; those in whom Christ sees of the travail of His soul, and by, and through whom the glory of God, as the God of salvation, will be illustriimsly displayed to the endlessness of eternity. According to the returns received there were l.')7,!i00 members in full communion, some cif them 1.1 the promise of youth and, it may be, the weakness of the beginnings of spiritual life ; others in the vigour of manhood, physically and s-piritually, and ethers who had passed three score years and ten and even four score years ; and not a few of them, perhaps, gone since the returns were made from the Church on earth, to the Church in Heaven. Last year the number was 152,013, showing an increase of d,!>77. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces there were reijorted in 1888 'jominunicants to the number of 33, 200 ; in 1889 the number was 34,034 showing an increase of 1,308. In the Presbytery of Truro there was a decrease of 190 ; in that of Sydney of 91 ; in that of Pictou of 245 ; altogether 520. The Preslwtery of Victoria and Richmoml again shows an increase of 47 ; that of Halifax of 21 ; that of Wallace of 18 ; that of Prince Kdward Island of 1,250 ; that of Lunenburg and Shelburno of 39 ; that of St. .John of 485 ; that of Miramichi of 3 ; and that of Newfoundland of 25, altogether 1,894 ; which, lessened by 520, gives the net inarease previously specified. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, 27,247 communicants are returned in the report for 1889, in 1&88 the number was 27, 131, giving an increase of 110. The Presbytery of tjuebec gives a decrease of 4 ; Montreal of 13 ; Lanark and Renfrew, of 397;* aggregating 414, The Presbytery of Glengarry gives an increase of 120 ; Ottawa of 388 ; and Brockville of 10 ; aggregating 530, and the ditference between the two totals leaves 110 as the increase. * Arising from the tTai.afer of 1 oougregations, in May last, to the Ottawa Presbytery- IV.

The additions made to Cnmmuninn Rolls during the year includes two items ; ir»t, those added nn their own profession of faith, and, ttrond, those adiled by certiticate. Your Committee need not speak of the interest which the first of these should awaken in the bosoms, not only of Ministers and other office bearers, but of all saints. They represent those who, through the Word, and by the Spirit of (>od, have renounced the world and sin, and havo init on the Lord .Tesus Christ as their righteousness ami strength— who have been made to .'eel ami acknowledge that they are iiot their own. but bought with a price ; and who have therefore, by the enabling power nf Divine grace determineil to glnrify God in their bodies and their spirits, which are (lod's.

Durfng the year 188'.t there were ailded to the Church rei)resented by this Assembly 11,302 nn their own profession. In 1888 the ntxmber was 11,832, which gives a decrease of 530 in tiie one year as compared with the other.

The Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories gives ; and to 1,004 adults, being an increase of •>"• (Ui the preceding year. Our Church still lioars testimony to the importance which she attaches to the covenant made by (iml with the households of his people, and to the words of Christ when he said " suffor little children to come unto me, and forbid tlieni not, for of such Is the kingdom of heaven ;" and to His action when " He took them up in His arms and lilessed them."

Can any forbid w.iler that those to wiioiii Ho has given the Holy (ihost shonlil not be liaptised ? The greatest number of Infant Baptisms has been in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, 2,00.1 : the next in that of Toronto and Kiuifstoii, 2, 1114 ; the next in that of Hamilton and London, 2,()">1 ; the next in tliat of Montreal and Ottawa, 1,842 : and tlie next in that of .Manitoba and tho Nortb-Wnst Territories, 1,148. In addition to those, 7o are reiiorted in the Deli.yed Returns. Tlio greatest ii\iiiil)or of adult b.aptisms, 314, was in the Synod of Hamilton and London ; the next, 2r)(i, in tiiat of Toronto and Kingston ; the noxt, 242, in tliat of the Maritime Provinces ; the next, l.'U, in tliat of Montreal and Ottawa ; and the lowest, .V.I, in that of Manitoba and the North- West Territories. In tlio Delayed Iteturns 2 such Baptisms are reported. Tlie total iiuinber of elders is given .as 0,(132, an increase on the iireceding year of 2.")1. In eacli of the .Synods there lias lieon un inciease, but your Committee do not deem it expedient to enter upon a comparison of Prosliyteries, In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces the increase lias been ;>."> ; in tliat of Montreal anil Ottawa, 2'> ; in that of Toronto and Kingston, (13 ; in that of Hannltoii and London, 13(1 ; and in that of Manitoba and the North- West Territories, 3(> ; aggregating 2!l.'i ; but there is a decroaso of 44 in tlie Delayed Roturns, liringing the net increase to tlie number already montiouod. "Other office bearers," whether de.acons or managers, were reiiorted in 18'»S at 8,417. In ISSO they were reported at !I,0'.I3, an increase of (i40. In this item all tne Synods show an increase, with the exception of Montreal and Ottawa, in which there has been a decrease of ],4'.'7. The Delayed lieturns show a decrease of 3"). In 1S88 there were .attending weekly prayer meetings 47,003, and in 1880 there were 48,.')03, being an increase of .'(40. The attention of the General Assembly is .asked to an important piirt of this Koport when tlie Committee proceed to liring before it the Sabbath schools which are organized and conducted in tiie .congregations and stations of the Church. The importance of the religious instruction of the young cannot be overstated. "Feed my lamlis " is a comm.and which holds no subordinate pl.ace in tlie instructiima of the Master. It was first given to one in official authority in the kingdom, and it has been transmitted to the gener.ations following. It comes, in the first place, to parents, upon whom .primarily rests the obligatiim of training up their chiWren in the nurture and admonition of the vi. Appendix No. 24. 1^ •ii ■ : Lord. Whether or not it should be heard and obeyed within the walls of our Public Schools, certainly it should be carried out in the churches of our lo.nd. Church ottice-beurers cannot discharj,'e themselves of the obligation of seeing that it is carried out in the schools with which they have otficial connection. The recognition ti the duty has become universally prevalent, and_ has been productive of wonderful results. Witness the extent to which all religious denominations have engaged in the work of the religious instruction of the young \yhether " higher " or not. The- Presbyterian Church in Canada does n'ot lag behind in the enterprise. And the figures which your Comnuttee are about to bring forward show that she is being blessed in her deed by the CJreat Shepherd and Bishop of souls. In 1888 theie were 119,983 attending Sabbath school and Bible class, and in 188'.>, including Delayed Beturns in both instances, 124,310, being an increase of 4,',VI'\ Of these there were in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, in the former year, 2ti,li;i, and in the latter 28,160, an increase of 2,047. The Pre^l)yte^y of Truro gives an increase of 182 ; that t'f Sydney a decrease of 21 ; that of Victoria and Richmond an increase of 128 ; that of Halifax an increase of 135 ; that of Wallace an increase of 303 ; that of Fictou an increase of 300 ; that of Prince Edward Island .an increase of 445 ; that of Lunenburg ai.d Shelbume an intrta.'^e of lc4 ; that i which gives an increase of 58. In the Presbytery of Hamilton the whftle number was 6,581, which was an increase of 241 ; in the Presbytery of Paris, 3,821, increase- 445 ; in the Presbytery of London, 4,769, incre.a8e 557 ; iu the Presbytery of Chatham, 2,068, inciease 17 ; in the Presbytery of Sarnia, 2,690, increase 45 ; while the Presbytery of Stratford returned 2,977, which was a decrease of 428 ; that of Huron, 2,864, decrease 314 ; that of Maitland, 2,961, decrease 463 ; and that of Bruce, 2,540, decrease 42. Aggre- gate increase, 1,305 ; aggregate decrease, 1,247. In the Sytiod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories 7,352 were under religious instruction in Sabbath school and Bible class in 1888, and 8,266 in 1889, an increase of 914. In the Presbytery of Winnipeg the numbers had increased 28.3, the full number being 3,287 ; in Rock Lake the number was 867, and the increase 115 ; in Brandon the number had fallen ol! from 1,441 to 1,252, a decrease of 189 ; in Regin? from 853 to 778, a decrease of 75 ; in Columbia from 1,016 to 927, a decrease of 89 ; while in Calgary it had risen from 288 to 345, an increase of 57. _ The aggre- gate increase was thus 457, and the decrease 353. In the Delayed Returns of 1889 there is a decrease of 432 as C(.ni pared with 1888. In connection with this there comes up for consideration the number engaged in Sabbath school Work, whether superintendents, teachers, librarians or others. Your Committee would confine themselves to the statement here that there was a decrease of 3,197, the total in 1888 Ijeing 20,022, and 14,825 in 1889. It is not considered necessary to make a detailed examination into this falling off. It would be useless to imiuire into the cause. With an incre.ased Sabbatli school population it was to be expected that there would be an increase in the staff of labourers in the Sabb.ath school vineyard. The number of volumes in Sabbath school and congregati(mal libraries shsws an increase of 17,280 ; the number for 188S being 174,118j and for 1889 being 191,_3S)8, Looking at these figures it must be iujknowkdged that a liberal provision is made for the religious imijrovement_ in the home and family of the members and adherents of the Church, both young and old ; for it is not merely the childn n who read the volumes taken from the Sabbuth school lil)rary ; nor merely the more advanced who read those taken fiom the congregational library. It may be assumed that the selec- tion made for ttiese libraries is a judicious and suitable one ; and it is a matter of the greatest importance that no work should be admitted whose Uae and contents are not of a healthy char- acter for both mind and heait. And these libraries by no means cover the entire provision made for the instruction and edification in Divine truth of those connected with our congregations. A viry large amount of periodical literature is in circulation ; interesting in its content)*, and attractive by its illustrations. Reastming from these two facts it must be concluileil th.at those belonging to the Presbyterian Church in Canada are a reading people. And this conclusion is strengthened wheu Appendix No. 24.

A vtiy ;ractive by [ing to the eued wheu account is taken of more distinctly denominationnl publications which are read. It may be that books at one time in every family library, and carefully perused, are now seldom to be heard of, and that they will soon disappear. It may be, too, that the more modern publications now in circulation have not the solidity and doctrinal value of those that are passing away. But it cannot be denied that manifold opportunities are afforded^ to promote the intelligence of the |)eople oelonging to the Church ; to furnish them with information regarding the state and progress of Christ's kingdom both at home and abroad— matters in which all are interested— to instruct them in reference to their duties both personal and relative ; and to enable thern to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In 188S there were reported 356 MisHionary Associations and 2 Ladies' Aid Societies, and in the year covered by this report 331 ; indicating a falling off in these organizations. But let it not be inferred that there is any diminution of missionary spirit and activity, for figures afterwards to be produced prove the contrary. There has been an increase of 40 in the number of Women's Foreign Miss'jnary Societies. Those for 1888 were 402, and those for 1889 were 502, with 2 Ladies' Aid. This increase shows that the Church is having her conviction deepened of her duty to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Mu^t not this be regarded as an awakening and a quickening produced by Christ himself, and that it is one of the signs that the time is approaching when He will take to Him his great p )wer and reisn universally by the setting up of His kingdom of grace in all lands, so that men shall be blessed in Him and all nations shall call Him blessed ? Your Committee have still to complain of the want of attention on the part of Sessions and Presbyteries to the proper answer to be given to the question, "Istliorea manse (M) or a rented house (R.H.) provided for the minister?" In all cases where such provision is made the proper entry would be M, or R.H. as indicated in the question. In the Presbytery of Truro, if we may judge from the return sent in through the Presbytery, not one Kirk Session giving an affirmative answer to the question has stated whether it was a manse or rented house. In the Presbytery of Brockville there is one answers "yes" but which is not stated. In the Presbytery of Peterbourgh there are 13 not distinguished. Thare are thus altogether 25 that your Committee cannot tell whether they are all manses or all rented houses, or some of each. They would recommend attention on the part of Presbytery clerks to this point, and express the hope that this will be the last time that special mention of the oversight will require to be made. "The number of manses was .534 ; of rented houses 04 ; not distinguished, 25 ; a total of 623. The preceding year the total w.i3 594, which gives an increase of 29. The same remark as to want of distinction will apply to the entries in the reply to the next question, " Did the congregation build church (C) or mjinse (M) during the year?" Here by the insertion of the letter C or M an indication is made of the entry that should be inserted if either has Ijeen built. One was built in the Presbytery of Montreal, but which is not stated, the answer baing "Yes." This, however, is the only instance of the kind. Twenty-seven manses are reported as having been built during the year, a decrease of 6 on the year before, and 53 churches, a decrease of 7, and these, with the one " yes " make an aggregate of 81. In the preceding year it was 95. It is evident that the Church is g"ing forward in furnishing accommodation for the peoiile when they assemble to worship, and for the pastor whom they call to minister to them in holy things. From the reports received from Missicm Stations, which are very far from being so full as they might, your Committee learn that there are 438 Stations in the Presbyteries reporting on the different Synods and Mission Fields within their bounds ; tliat these furnish sitting accommodation for 24,818 worshippers ; that the number of families, single persons, and communicants connected with them are, 5,140 ; 997 and G,475 ; that 448 were added to communion rolls on their personal pro- fession ot faith in the liord Jesus phrist, and 227 on certiKcate ; that 56 were removed by death, 8 by discipline, and 134 by certificate ; 343 infants and 50 adults were baptized. The number of Elders was 221, and of other office-bearers 536. _ There was an average of 2,158 attending weekly prayer-meetings ; 4,576 in Sabbath-school and Bible-class, under 616 teachers and others actively interested in Sabbath school work ; and 6,600 volumes in Sabbath school or congregational libraries. In 18 of the stations there were Missionary Associations, and in 6 Women's Foreign Missionary Societies. Five manses and 3 rented houses are provided for the accommodation of those supplying"; 13 Churclies were built during the year, and 1 either Church or Manse in the Presbytery of Montreal, the rejjort not specifying which. Even from these imjierfect statistics it must be evident that our Church has a very wide field for operation open to her ; that the prospects are most encouraging, and that she may look forward to days not far distant, when one or all of these Stations shall grow to become independent and self- flu-byteries whose names are not on the roll. Nineteen pastoral charges and 63 mission stations did not send in annual reports of their statistics and finances. Throughout the Church there were 41 demissions of pastoral charges ; ti translations from one charge to another, both in the same bounds ; and 24 to charges in other bounds. During the year 53 students were licensed, and 16 ministers died. Nearly all congre- gations close their year with the calendar year, and nearly all Presbyteries have committees on VIU. Appendix No. 24. '1^' statistics. In the two last matters there is a decide(i iniproveinent dii (irecedini; years, ami it is hoped that before long every coni,'rej,'ation and station will comply with the law of the Church. Finances. Your Committee proceed to a no less instructive and suggestive part of their report than the one that has been under consideration when they take up the returns received from congregations and stations through Presbyterios embraced in the Financial Statements. Those bring before us no less than the other, the spiritual life and activity of the Church, the faithfulness, or the want of it, on the part of the people to communicate in all good things to the support and comfort of those by whom they are taught in the Word ; and their interest hi those measures whicli are adopted for the upbuilding of the Gospel Kingdom at home, and its extension into the lands of idolatry and super- stition, according to the commandment of its great King and Head. And, from those returns, the General Assembly can learn whether Presbyteries maintain a diligent oversight of the congregations in their bounds, and are instructing and encouraging and inciting them to the proper discliarge, according to the measure of their ability, of their duties in connection with the Church wlmse pri- vileges they enjoy. The first 4 columns of tho Financial Keturns are occupied witli the amounts contributed and received as ministerial income, and arrears of stipend, where such exist. The first (luestinn on the slips sent down to congregations and stations is, " What is the amount of Htipend received from all sources '.' " and the first column of the tables to be filled in by Presbyteries records the answer. Tlie design of the question is to ascertain how far those in the ministry are receiving an adecpiato and comfortable maintenance in the high calling to which they have devoted themselves. Generally speaking that support comes from one, or, in some cases, two sources ; the contributions of the people enjoying the pastor's labours, or, in addition to those, from the fund for the augmentation or supplement of stipends in weivker charges. The replies to this question are far from being full, and their v£ilue,_ accordingly, is greatly impaired. Some congregations and Presbyteries are especially faulty in this matter. The returns from tho Presbytery of Lanark and IJenfrew, for example, are so imperfect that it has been thought useless to add them, either by the Clerk by whom they were collected and forwarded, or by your Committee. Injury, it is thought, rather than good, woulil result from their incorporation. Only 11 congregations send in rei)lies, and 1 mission station. Your Committee would remark that it is a matter of surprise to them that the slips were not sent back by the Presbytery to defaulting congregations for the supplying of the omission. "Presbytery Clerks are respectfully urged to procure more accurate returns from every congregation, whether settled or vacant, and mission stati<'ii or group of stations, so as as to enable the Committee on Statistics to compute as complete and accurate a report as (wissible." Such is the very first request or direction on the sheet pre[)ared for Presbyteries, but one which has not received the desired care ( r attention. Your Committee, however, are convinced that it is only proper to give the results reported, although their values may not be so great as it would have been if full replies had been returned. The total amount of stipend received from all sources is reported as .?777,19!). In tho year 188S it was •S744,(>72, an increase of •?:{2,527. Of this sum the Synod of the Maritime Provinces raised •?158,IK)7, an increase on the preceding year of .?9,3'J(i ; that of Montreal and Ottawa, .'B124,8(IS, a decrease of §14,241, to be accounted for in part if not in whole by the omission of Lanark and Ren- frew ;* that of Toronto and Kingston, §223,175, an increase of 810,542 ; that of Hamilton and lion- don, S176,51!i, an increase of 84,175 ; and that of Manitoba and the North -West Territories, $88,880, an increase of 818,611. In the Delayed Ileturns the amount sums up to 84,U10, a decrease of .Sl,'J.°i(i. Total increase, 848,724 ; tt)tal decrease, .'$Hi,197. Had the returns possessed the value of even a nearest approach to fulness, your Committee iiiight have conducted a comparison between Presbyteries for the two years ; but, in the circum- stances they do not consider it would be of any profit to do this. The stipend promised by congregations without assistance from outside sources was .?735,ti',l2. Last year it was 8691,338, an increase of $44, .'354. Here, again, the Synod of the Maritime Provinces show an increase amounting to 810,109, the amount promised in 1889 being 8145,4.54. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa 8132,484 were promised, an increase of .82,686 ; in the Synod of Tovonto and Kingston, 8214,370, an increase of 810,064 ; in the Synod of Hamilton and L(mdon, 8174,261, an increase of .85,.509 ; and the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories, 864,523, an increase of 817,810. The Delayed Keturns show a decrease of 81,824, thus leaving the increase as above stated. The stipend i)romised is at an average rate of 88.8ti i)er family, and 84.65 per communicant. The stipend paid by congregation alone was .8741, .531, or an increase of .85,839 above that pro- mised. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces there is a total increase of .82,181. The Presbytery of Truro shows a decrease of .880, Prince Edward Island, of 81,404 ; Lunenburg and Shelburne. of 8317 ; and Miramichi, of 81.155 ; total, .82,956. On the other hand, each of the following Pre:*by- tories gives an increase : Sydney, 8790 ; Victoria and liichmond, 8109 ; Halifax, 8754 ; Wallace, 8442 ; Pictou, 81,422 ; and St. John, 81,620 ; total, 85,1.37. Newfoundland reports promise and payment as the same. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa tiiere Is a decrease of 81,880 on the stipend pron'.isod from that actually paid. The Presbytery of (hiebec shows a decrease of .8949; that of (Jlengarry a decrease of .8397 ; that of Ottawa a decrease of 8138 ; that of l?rockville of .8174, and that of Lanark and Renfrew of 8216 ; in all .82,074 ; while the Presbytery of Montreal gives .an increase of 8194. In the Synod of Toronto and Kingston there has been a decrease of 81,932, The Presbytery of Owen Sound reports an increase of 81,012, and that of Kingston of 8514. in all 81,526.

The Mlowing Presbyteries show an increase :— Winnipeg, 83,237 : Regina, 81,835 ; Miunedosa, §2,208 ; altogether 87,340. The following show a decrease :— llock Lake, 8024 ; Brandon, 81,137 ; Calgary, 889, and Columbia, 8")2.5 ; in all 82,275. In the congregations included in Delayed Keturns there has been a decrease of .842. The amount of arrears of stipend throughout the Church is reported as being .812,805. In 1888 it was 810,814, an increase of 82,051. Ijooking at Synods there is an increase of .808 in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa ; in that of Hamilton and London of 81,795 ; in that of Montreal and Ottawa of 808, and in that of Manitoba and the Xorth-West Territories of 82,241 ; in all 84,104.

No arrears are reported in the Delayed Keturns of 1889 ; in 1888 this item was .8354. Looking briefly at Presbyteries the largest amount of arrears is in that of .Sydney, 81,538, although this is less by .8985 tlian the amount for the jireceding year. Of the Presbyteries in the same Synod all report arrears with these exceptions, namely, Truro, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. The sums vary from .8419 in St. John, the next largest after Sydney, to S'275 in that of Victoria am' Kiehmoud ; 870 in that of Picton ; .$53 in that of Wallace ; 830 eacli ir Lunenburg and Shelburne and Miramichi, and 815 in that of Halifax. All the Presbyteries in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa except Quebec and Brockville report arrears. That of Montreal .8298, a decrease of 898 ; that of lilengarry .8300 ; the la-evious year there were none. That of Ottawa 8120 ; an increase of .871 ; that of Lanark and Renfrew 8120, an increase of 874. Brockville had 8105 in 1888. Arrears are reported in all the Presbyteries of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston without exception. That of Orangeville reports .8472 ; Kingston, -8430 ; Guelph, 8302 ; Whitby, 81(J7 ; Barrie, 8133 ; Owen Sound, 8100; Saugean, .880; Peterborough, 808; Lindsaj', 839 and Toronto, 818.

In the Synod of Hamilton and London the Presbytery of Paris is the only one which has no arrears. Hamilton has 8044, an increase of 8581 ; London, 8119, a decrease of 899; Chatham, .8301, an increase of .8221 ; .Stratford, §708, an increase of .8558 ; Huron, 819. There were no arrears the pieceding year ; Maitland, 8218, a decrease of .8183 ; Bruce, 8021, an increase of 8518 ; and Sarnia, 8i51, an increase of 8100. All the Presbyteries in the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories report arrears, and some of these of large amounts, but your Committee cannot distinguish the source to which they are owing, whether shortcomings on the part of congregations, or the non-reception of grants made by the Home Mission Committee. In the Presbytery of Brandon, 81,33?, are due, last year .8907 ; Miunedosa, 8908 ; Rock Lake, 8710, in 1888 the amount was .8304 ; Regi-..i,$871, in 1888 it was 8104 ; Calgary, 8461, in 188^ t was 8400 ; Winnipeg, 8343, it was 8407 in 1888, and < olumbia, 8107, the precedmg year .?90. Your Cimrmittee uiU not enter upon a detailed comparison of the items entered in the two next columns, for the reason that the expenditure varies in different years and according to circumstances. The first of these columns shows the sum laid out on church or manse building or imi^rovements during the year. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces this aggregated 800,027 ; in that of Toronto and Kingston, 81.55, ,387; in that of Hamilton and London, .89.5,024 ; and in that of Manitoba and the North-West Territories .8,58,0»i4, which, with amounts in Delayed Returns, make a total of 8517,509. In 1888 the outlay for the same purposes was 8501,298, which shows an increase in favour of 1889 of .810,211. For otlier incidental and congregational objects $380,704 were expended, an increase of 829,789. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, 80.5,317 were expended ; in that of Montreal and Ottawa, 807,349 ; in that of Toronto and Kingston, 8133,340 ; in that of Hamilton and London, .884,505 ; and in that of Manitoba am", the North-West Territories, $28,2lti ; and Delayed Returns show 81,947. In 1888, the total expenditure for stipend, on manse or church and other congregational pur- poses was 81,555,807 : in 1889 it was 81,040,814 : an increase of -884,947. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces there was an increase of .812,398. An increase is reported in each of the following Presbyteries : Truro, .81,387 ; Victoria and Richmond, 82,182 ; Pictou, 813,700 ; Prince Edward Island, -83,813 ; Lunenburg and Shelburne, 82,928 ; and Newfound- laml, .8702 ; in all, 824,718. Sydney shows a decrease of -84,381 ; Halifax of .83,400 ; Wallace of -82,9(;9 ; St. John of -8445 ; and Miramichi of 81,005 ; in all, 812,320. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa there was an increai e of -8i)7,424, made up as follows: In the Presbytery of Quebec, an increase of 32,382 ; Montreal of 820,491 ; Glengarry of 810,-539 ; Ottawa of 810,1)47 ; and Brockville of .895 ; an aggregate of -874,1-54 : while Lanark and Renfrew shows a decrease of -8ti,730. • In the Synoil of Toronto and Kingston there was a decrease of -87,082. In the Presbytery of Kingst^)n there is an increase of 820,838, or deducting 812,000 for professors' salaries of .88,838 ; in that of Peterborough a decrease of 87,9.53 ; in that of Whitby an increase of 83,022 ; in that of Lindsay a decrease of ,84,1.55; in that of Toronto a decrease of -840,777 ; in th.at of Orangeville an increase of 81,013 ; in that of Barrie of 812.374 ; in that of Owen Sound of 87,157 ; in that of Saugeen a decrease of 81,122; and in that of Guel|)h an increase of $1,321. Aggregate increase, 840,325 ; aggregate decrease, .'is54,007. z. Appendix No. 24. In the Synod of M.vnitoba and the North-West Territories there was an increase of 823,171. Increase is reported in the Presbytery of Rock Lake amounting to 86,201 ; in Brandon to $774 ; in R-JSina to 81,037 ; and in Columbia to 8 ),6 18 ; tot;il, 814,700. A decrease of 82,100 is reporte 1 in the Presbytery of Winnipeg, and of 8340 in Calvary; total, 8J,949; leaving an increase in these Presbyteries of 811,751, to which have to bj a Kled §1 1,420 for the Presbytery of Minnedosa appearing in this report for the first time. Without entering upon a con«ideration of the Schemes of the Church in detail, your Committee would remark that tney are not able to report separately the amount contributed to the Ordinary Fund for the Colleges. Means were taken to secure their being able to do this in the preparation of the slips sent down to congregations, and generally separate answers were returned to these. In some instances, however, a block sum was reported for all the Colleges, and in others Presbytery Clerks in copying combined the answers owing partly, it is presumsd, to the difficulty of inserting each in the column for the purpose against its distinguishing letter ; for the Committee had agreed to distinguish the Presbyterian College, Halifax, by using the letter a; Morrin College, by b ; Presbyterian College of Montreal, by c; Q leen'.s University and College, by d; Knox College, Toronto, by c, and Manitoba College by/. All that can bt done, then, in this report, is to give the amount contribu-ed for the Colleges generally,_ In ISHO, this was 835,Gt).5 as repirted; in 1888, it was Siljo!'^ ; an increase of 81,072. It is gratifying to be able to report this advance on the contri- butions of the preceding year, yet one cannot look over the entries in each Presbytery without being made aware that there must be not a few congregations that d > not evince the liberality which is demanded by the importance of the institutions in which the young men of our Church, who have separated themselves to the service of God in the Gospel of His Son, may acquire that culture and training which will qualify them, through the Divine blessing, for being acceptable and successful ministers of the Word. Our Church, in order to prosper, must have an educated ministry, and to secure this our colleges must receive the prayerful interest and liberality of her members and adherents. It c:\nnot be expected that any diminution of the expense of their maintenance can be effected. On the contrary, the Church should prep'""'> herself for an increase, for it is believed that there is not one of them but requires an increase in me staff of her professors and lecturers. Besides the contributions just mentioned to the Ordinary Fund of the Colleges, 830,616 has been sent in to the Siwcial Fund ; a falling off of 819,907. In 1888, the payments to the Home Mission Fund amounted to 8 J4, 816 ; and in 1889, to8.<4,085 ; an increase according to the reports of 8'',269. Not that these figures are a full return of the pay- ments made, as a large sum reaches the Treasurers or Agents of the Churcli which congregations do not insert in the replies they send in to Presbyteries. Payments to the Augmentation Fund, which under that name, and in its present mode of man- agement, has been in existence for only a few years, reached a total of 832,143, as against 8'i0,201 in 1888. But tlie same remark applies to this which has been already made in reference to the Home Mission Fund. The reported contributions for French Evangelization in 1883 were 828,134, and in 18S9 they were 831,121 ; an increase of about $3,000. In 1888, the Foreign Mission Fund received, as reported to Presbyteries, and by them to the Assembly's Committee on Statistics, 877,921 ; and in the year embraced in this report, 8iK>,753 ; the gratifying and it may be called the large increase for one year of 812,832. From another entry it is learner] that of this amount 831,948 was raised by the efforts of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, and this was an increase of 84,640 in the sum raised as reported in the precedmg year, A fresh proof is thus afforded of the advantage of this special organization for this department of the Church's operations — operations which should have been prosecuted without intermission from the hour that Christ gave His commandment to go into all tne world and preach the Gosi>el to every creature, which in these latter days she is carrying on with energy and success, although not to the extent to be desired, in which she has an evidently divinely recognized helper in the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. It should also be stated that 824,811 were raised for Foreign Missions by the Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes of the Church, against 824,097 in 1888, an increase of 8714. Let it be remembered that there are 124,310 young persons under instruction in these cla.sses, and it will be seen that the contributions are at the rate of twenty cents for each one. Is it too much, is it not too little, to say that more than double the amount, that, at any rate, a cent a day, on an average, might be expected from each one for this one object, irrespective of other purposes, such as Home Missions and French Evangelization, in which your Committee are aware many of them take an active interest ? A_ large measure or possibility of usefulness lies in our Sabbath schools in connection with the introiluction of t'\e d*y, to which the Great King is looking forward with desire and delight, when all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God. Let pastors and Sabbath School officers furnish the young with information regarding this, as well as the oth'er schemes of tha Church, to the young, and direct and encourage them in their giving. To the Fund for Aged and Infirm Ministers 818,175 were contributed— surely a amall amount compared with its claims, but an increase of 83,0;}5 on the preceding year. Ono cannot look at these figures without feeling the necessity there is for the special effort made for the raising of the con- templated 8200,000, that better itrovision may be made fi-r the comfort of those who, through infir- mity, have been forced to retire from the active duties of the ministry. There has Ween a falling off to the extent of 851 in the jiayments to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, the sum actually being 85,750. There has been an improvement to the extent of 8281 in the contributions to the Assembly Expense Fund. The whole amount was 84,089. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces the total contributions to the Schemes of the Church amounted to 846,170, againut 8^9,657 in 1888, an increase of .86,513. In the Synod of Alontreal and Ottawa 830,061 against 861,053 in 1888, were contributed, a decrease of 8992. of 823,171. to 8774 ; in ■eporte I in se in these appearing Committee e Ordinary paration of tliese.

In the Synod of Toronto and Kingston the contributions in 1888 were S10i,927, and in 1839 ■«112,931, an increase of $8,004. In the Synod of Hamilton and Loudon S57,72(i were contributed in 1888, and §39,004 in 1889, an increase of $1,278. In the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories the contributions in 1888 were §8,462, and in 1889 they were $9,299, an increase of $837. Four Synocis report an increase of $16,63*2, and one a decrease of $992. In the DelayedReturns there is a further decrease of $677, leaving the net increase, as thus calculated, .§14,963. Trie total contributions to the Schemes in 1889 were $288,117, and in 1888 $273,154, showing the increase pre- viously reached. Payments to Synod and Presbytery Funds amounted to $8,020 in 1889, and to $8,003 in 1888, only $17 of difference, in favour of the later year. Contributions for other religious and for benevolent purposes reached $110,487, an increase of $19,288 on the preceding year. The payments for all purposes aggregated $2,054,9.il, made up as follows :— (1) For all congre- gational purposes, $1,640,814 ; (2) Schemes of the Church, $288,117 ; (3) Synod and Presbytery Fund. $8,020 ; (4) for other religious and for benevolent purposes, $110,487 ; total §2,047,438. But $7,500 are entered in the cilumn for all purposes— salaries of Professors in Manitoba College -^rais- ing the sum found by adding that column to $2,0.54,938, while there is another entry of $13 in the same column which does not appear in any of the previous ones, from which the aggregate is collected. The contriljutions for all purposes in 1888 where §1,942,723, which shows an increase in 1889 of $112,228. Has not the Lord continued to bless our Zion in all her enterprises? Let His goodness excite our gratitude, call forth our praises, and stimulate and encourage us .n the work to which He calls us, lioth at home and abroad. There is much territory in our Dominion to Ije occupied, there is many a cry from the lands of the heathen for Gospel help. As in former years, the Committee |)reseut a table showing ths average contribution per family and uonimunicaut, in each Presbytery, for the purposes specified, a))pended to which is a statement of the general average, with compariscm with the previous year. It would have been useful to carry the comparison of the Presbytery average between the two years, but time forbids. J7 Xll. Appendix No. 24.

"35 were promised, and .$24,222 were paid by the stations themselves ; that arrears to the amount of 81,002 were due for supply ; that 88,294 were spent on (^'hurch or Manse, and 83,425 for other con- giegational and incidental expenses, making an aggregate of .^34,729, which, with items not distri- buted, make the a^regate 8.35,941. ^ There were raised for Colleges, Ordinary Fund, ,875, and Special, 83 ; for Home Missions, .81,208 ; for Augmentation, 8127 : for French Evangelization, 8255 for Foreign Missions, 8273 ; for the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund, .859, and for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, 820 ; for Assembly Expense Fund, 823, and thus for all the Schemes of the Church, 82,043. Sabbath schools and Bible classes raised 878, and Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies, 858, for Foreign Missions ; 882 were contributed to Synod and Presbytery Fund, and 8261 for religious and benevolent objects not specified, making the aggregate for all purposes 8.^,327. Your Committee close with the following recommendations : 1. That Presbyteries be enjoined strictly to watch against arrears of stipend to pastors existing in their bounds, and that on such appearing in the returns received from congregations they take steps to have them removed. 2. That Presbyteries require interim moderators of vacancies to collect from these the report of their statistics and finances that they m.ay appear in their proper place among those of settled charges, 3. That Presbyteries require (Congregations and Stations to answer all the questions proposed, as for example, as to the amount of stipend received from all sources, and that paid by the congrega- tion alone, etc., as this information must be available generally from the Treasurer's Dooks. ' 4. That the Assembly renew its injunction to those congregations that have no*', already com- plied to close their year for the Schemes of the Church with the calendar year.

The collection of archives is a very slow and silent process. During the period when most important documents are available in the early history of a country, there is little care taken for their preservation. Many documents containing the history of the fur-traders, U. E. Loyalists, early settlers, and even Governments in Canada have been allowed to perish. To induce those in charge of important docu- ments to be careful of them is a most difficult tninK, and may form a part of the work of this Society. Church officials, Presbytery and Session clerks, and managers of congregations are often exceedingly negligent in this matter. Two illustrations from the general history of Canadian Archives may be given as showing the importance of care, and of the possession of the true historic spirit. The Mackenzie family, including the two brothers, Sir Alexander, the discoverer of the Mackenzie river, and the Hon. Roderick, h^id this faculty of carefully preservingr their documents. Accordingly Senator Masson is now reproducing journals of great value, which have come into hia possession by marriage into the Mackenzie family. Again, Col. D. W. Smith, a colleague of Governsr Simcoe, the_ first Governor of Upper Canada, had the habit of keeping every letter and scrap that came into his possession. For eignty years these have been lying buried in England, till a short time ago they fell into the possession of the Toronto Public Library, and twenty -four large bound volumes have supplied the hitherto unobtained material for reproducing the history of Upper Canada from 1793 to 1804. Another essential work in obtaining Archives, is the effort of those who have the true historic spirit, and the perseverance to seek and gather together the materials for history. Though our history is that of a century, it is only in later times that, following the example of such men as T. B. Akin, of Nova Scotia, Mr. Douglas Brymner, of Ottawa, and James Bain, Jr., of Toronto, have taken successfully to do this work. In consequence Halifax has a fair collection ot Archives ; Ottawa is to-day the Mecca of Canadian students of history, and Toronto Piiblic Library is obtaining an honourable place. To do this work for the Church is the object of an Historical Society. This work can only be done successfully by patient and persistent search by the several sections in their locali- ties. I'hat some <»dvance is being made may be seen from the following facts : Halifax Section reports that two meetings were held during the seasons of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces in October last. The Synod expressed cordial approval of the formation of this section, which includes between twenty and thirty members, and expects to complete its organization iu 'iiL' ncton this autumn. The Quebec Section dues not report proijress, but 'hopes to do more work during the present year. Dr. Robert Campbell reports in behalf of the Montreal Section, that the pressure of business connected with the Equal Rights Movement, in which it is stated history is being mitde, has postponed active work for the Society, but hopes are expressed that this year may be more successful. A report has been received from Dr. Bell, of Kingston. Dr. Gregg reports from Toronto, as follows :— " An addition has been made to the historical documents in Knox College, chiefly by a fresh contribution to H. S. McCollum, Esq., of St. Catharines, of a large number of interesting and important pamphlets. Church records and manuscripts. I desire to repeat the suggestion made last year, that it is desirable that separate histories of the separate branches of the Presbyterian Church in the Dominion by writers specially conversant with these separate branchoH. I may add that in the meantime I am engaged in preparing a brief general on three of the leading events in the history of Prosbyterianism in British North America, and that I contemplate writing the history of what was usually called the Free Church of Canada, from the time of its organization in 1844 tv the time of its union with the United Presbyterian Church in 1861." In the Manitoba Section there is nothing new to report. Members of the Society are enKaged in preparing accounts of the rise of the several Presbyteries constituting the Synod of Manitoba and the N.-W. Territories ; and a number of sketches of the different church centres have appeared in the '* Record," Manitoba Section expects to publish a number of papers during the present year, which will be forwarded to the in<3mbers in the several sections. It is hoped that during the present year all the sections will be regularly organized, and may meet at Uted periods. James Campbell of Kingston section says : — " During the past year U. J, McDowall has presented Qu( in's University with the Parish Register of his grandfather, the Rev. Robert AIcDowall, the Pioneer Missionary of Upper Canada. It has a record of over 1,100 marriages, and 1,500 baptisms, dating from 1708 to 1840, and embracing territory from Elizabethtown (Brockville) on the EaRt to Hamilton and Newmarket in the West." Appendix No. 29. ii. There is perhaps no more complete record of the U. E. L. families and other pioneers in Canada anywhere to be found. The following is the list of officers for the year : - President- Rev, Dr. Burns. Vice-Presidents— Dr. McCulloch, Professor McAdam, Dr. John Campbell, Dr. Cr. Bell, Dr. Reid, Chief Justice Taylor. Secretary — Dr. Bryce. Treahurer— James Croil, Esq. Chairman of Sections — Dr. G. Patterson, (Halifax), Dr. Harper, (Quebec), Dr. R. Campbell, (Montreal), Rev. James Cumberland (Kingston),. Dr. Gregg, (Toronto), Dr. Bryce, (Winnipeg). All of which is respectfully submitted. GP:0RGE BRYCE, Secretai-y. j r' APPENDIX No. 30. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PRIMARY JURISDICTION. TheCommittee to which the request of the Synoil of Manitoba and tlie North-West Territories for a deliverance on the question of Primary Jurisdicti »n over students for the ministry was referred, having considered the whole matter and consulted such authorities as were at hand, beg leave to report the following deliverance for the adoption of the Assembly : — Whereas, It appears necessary to preserve the ])urity and peace of the churc' ;, and uniformity of procedure in the judicatories under the care of the General Assembly, that the manner of administering discipline .to candidates and licentiates for the Gospel ministry should be distinctly specified, therefore : Resolved, I. That as the Word of God and the constitution of the Presbyterian Church recognize the distinction of laity and clergy and a system of procedure in discipline, in some respects diverse as the one or the other of these orders of men is concerned, it becomes the judicatories of the Church to guard against the violation of this principle in the administration of discipline. II. That although candidates and licentiates are in training for the Gospel ministry, and in consequence of this, are under the care of the Presbyteries, and in certain respects become immedi- ately responsible to them, yet they are to be regarded as belonging to the order of the laity, till they receive ordination to the whole work of the Gospel ministry. III. That it follows from the last resolution, that when candidates for the ( lospel ministry are discovered to be unfit to be proceeded with, in trials for the sacred office, it shall be the duty of the Presbytery to arrest their progress ; and if further disciiiline be necessary, to remit them for that purpose to the sessions of the churches to which they properly belong ; and that when licentiates are found unworthy to be permitted further to preach the Gospel, it shall be the duty of the Presbytery to deprive them of their license ; and, if further discipline be necessary, to remit them for that purpose to the sessions of the churches to which they properly belong. IV. That in order to insure the proper effect of discipline in the performance nf the duties which severally belong to Sessions and Presbyteries, it will be incumbent in Church Sessions, when they shall see cause to commence process against candidates or licentiiites, before the Presbytery has arrested the trials of the one, or taken away the licensure of the other, to give immediate notice to the Moderator of the Presbytery to which the candidates or licentiates are amenable, that such process has been commenced ; to the intent that the impropriety may l)e prevented, of an individual proceeding on trials, or continuing to preach, after committing an offence that ought to arrest his progress to an investiture into the sacred office ; and when Presbyteries shall enter upon an inve.iti- gation, with a view of stopping the trials of a candidate, or taking away the license of a licentiate, the session to which such candidates or licentiates are amenable shall be immediately informed of what the Presbytery is doing, that the session may, if reijuisite, commence process, and inflict the •discipline which it is their province to administer. i.

May it pleune Your Mojcslp : We, the members of the «ieneral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, convened at Ottawa, dpsire to e.xpresis, on our own behalf, and on belialf of the Church we represent, our loyal devotion to Your Majesty's person ami throne. It is the aim of the Presbyterian Church to promote in this part of Your Majesty's dominions faithful obedience totlie Word of God, and also to maintain Christian Missions in Your Majesty's Indian Kmpire and in other lands where the worship of the true (iod does not yet prevail. It will, doubtless,' be gratify ing to Yuntry, and your efforts liy pers(mal visitation to become familiar with the different Provinces. We assuuie that you are already aware of the work attempted by the Presbyterian Church in main- taining religious ordinances in the oliler Provinces of the Dominion, and in providing the service.! of the Church for the settlers in the western portions of our land. We trust that, through your increasing acc|uaintance with the t)Hoi)le of Canada, you may tinil that these efforts of the Presby- terian Church, and those of sister Churches, are helpful in promoting throughout the country the more faithful obedience of the laws of (lod, and thus of advancing the i)est interests of the Commonwealth. We respectfully ask you to convey to Lady Stanley and family our cordial desire for their welfare, and we i>ray that Your I'^xcellciicy may always be directed l)y the Spirit of Gnd, that .so your resid- ence in Canada uiay help to promote righteousness among the people. In name and by apjiointment of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. -, Moderator, ?7 1. APPENDIX No. Ji?. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE DEFENCE OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS.

As the first protest against the Jesuits' Estates Act emanated from one of our Presbyteries, bo it may be fairly claimed that the firm attitude assumed by our several Church Courts, combined with the influence exercised by the outspoken deliverances of the Annual Assemblies of the other Pro- testant churches of the Dominion and of the several societies of a non-ecclesiastical character which have dealt with the matter, has contributed not a little to awaken the attention of the peo])Ie of Canada to the importance of maintaining unimpaired their heritage of civil and religious liberty. It is manifest that the aggressions of ultramontanism have received at least a temporary check, and that the public mind is more thoroughly alive than it has been for a long time to the necessity of guarding vigilantly the legislation of the country and the education of our youth from the undue influence of Romanism. The tone of the discussions in the Federal Parliament, as well as the several Local Legislatui»'.s, in the past year, has made this apparent, and gives hope for the future. The fact that the Government of Quebec felt constrained, last session, to restore the proceeds of the Jesuits' Estates to the purposes for which they were originally set apart by the Impeiial Authorities, may be held to be the fruit of the movement in favour of civil and religious liberty in which our Church Courts have taken a leading part. But while there is ground for congratulation on what has been already accomplished, much yet remains to be done Perpetual vigilance is the only condition on which the integrity of our civil and religious liberty can be preserved. Having put our hand to this business we cannot now go Imck. The question of equal rights having been forced on our attention by the grasping spirit of the Papal Church, it behoves us to address ourselves earnestly to the task of sweeping out of the way all the unwarrantable privileges which that church enjoys, and of removing the conseijuent disabilities under which she ha? placed a large number of the people of the Dominion. The following are some of the objects wn:ch the Committee think the Church ought to aim at furthering by all legitimate means :— 1. The complete separation of Church and State — each to be independent in its own sphere— a Free Church in a Free State. The mutual rights of each to be respected, ))ut neither to invade the prerogative of the other. 2. The abolition of all grants from the Public Exchequer for ecclesiastical or sectarian purposes. 3. The abolition of compulsory tithes and other ecclesiastical dues. 4. The providing of elementary education by the state ; and, while recognizing the religious character of the state and its religious obligation as to education, in no case shall money raised by taxation be devoted to the propagation of peculiar religious dogmas or denominational views. 5. The re-organization of the Council of Public Instruction in the Province of Quebec in such a manner as to secure the educational rights of the minority. 6. The abrogation of the offensive clauses in the Order of Precedence for the Dominion which recognize certain ecclesiastics and utterly ignore the great Protestant Churches which represent the majority of the people of Canada. It is recommended that the General Assembly re-appoint the Committee, with instructions to watch the progress of events in connection with these and kindred matters, and to take such other action in the premises as may be deemed necessary. All of which ia respectfully submitted. S: J-MACDONn'^LL, }j"i'>'Oonveners. Ottawa, June 17th, 1890. 1. APPENDIX ^o. 1 ) oo. ENCE.

All have made returns, excei)t a few presbyterie-s in the Synod of the M.aritime Provinces, and no doubt these that are wanting, liad they come to hand, would not have altered, materially, the complexion of this report. With the carefully prepared and most excellent returns we have in hand, wo are able to look across tho Continent, from the .Vtlantio to the Pacific, and to learn how the work of (iod pros- pers in tlie entire field occupied liy tho Church. Some features of the work are not as brigi.t .as they might have been, but on the whole, we have good reason to thank God and take courage. As a Churcli we may exclaim hmnbly and reverently. Fie hath done great things for us wheorof we are glad. That all may see the conry method. The nuestions are minute and specific, so as to elicit, if possil)lo, as full .ind accurate infonii.a- tion as can be had. If these fail, more general ((uestions cannot possibly succeed. Kesults, we think, justify this course. They make a startling array at the first blush on nccount of their numeri- cal strength, but their serviceableness in bringing to light the actual condition of " The St.ate of lleligion " in the Church — the object of this report— warr.vnts their being imt. The first section deals with TUB STATK Ob- UKMGION IN TlIK 1 AMU-V.

To these, tho answer given by the Synod of Manitoba and tlie Xorth-West Territory is " The reports agree in the st.itement th.at little more is d(me in the line of Scripture instruction than is reiiuired for the Sabbath School lesson, in tho nienKU- zing of the isolated p.assr.ges called 'Memory verses.' Few seem to realize the importance of rcqm'ring their chihlren to learn consecutive pass.ages." Hamilton and Ii(mdon : " It is gratifying to letirn that many of tha parents instruct their children in divine truth, and insist (ui the memorizing of select |)assagps. Those passages most approved are the 'golden texts ' and inf-mory verses in connection with the International Scheme of Lessons." Toronto and Kingston ; This is answered ns fidliiws by Orangeville Presbytery : " Parents instruct their chihlren in Scripture truth ;" Owen Sound, " M.any do, esi)ocially the younger ones, and ni,'\ny leave it to the S.abbath School ; " Linds.ay, "We find that religious instruction is to a large txtent given to children bjj their parents;" Toronto, "(lenerallv answered satisfactorily. l''.ight con- gregations answer with an unqtialiHed affirmative, 'yes,' and fourteen with the qualified atfirmativo, 'many do.'" Chalmer's Church, Toronto, gives tho number at HO per cent., three say they cannot tell, and four indicate that things are not in a very satisfactory state." These fairly set forth the substance of all tho reports, and make it evident that the large m.ijority of parents are fairly faith- fid in the discharge of this duty, while they make it equally clear tliat too many parents are alto- gether neglecting it. The Scrii)tures most approved are the Psalms, Isai.ah, the (..'ommandmrnts, the (xospel and the memory verses in connection with the S. S. " the twenty-third Psalm," "the fourteenth of John." lessons ; while some reptirts specify ii. Appendix No. .S3.

Montreal and Ottawa report : " It is very generally used in the families of the congregations. In some instances it is said to be used hy 80 percent, of tlie families, and other instances are given of children being able to give answers to it's 107 questions.' From Toronto and Kingston, this : " Most of the reports are (piite bright here. Six of them are voiced in the language of that of Toronto Presbytery. ' Notwithstanding the wail we hear from some quarters that we have fallen on degenerivte days in this respect, there is a very general report that the Catechism is faithfully taught in the home as well as in the Sunday school. So many as twenty- two congregations answer tliis in the attirniative. The two congregations in Scarboro' ' that the children are catechized during pastoral visitati(m.'

Surely the " conscientious " performance of any duty is not so ditticult to deternune. \\ hilo we may not lord it over any man's conscience, yet we may perceive that a man is so neglectful of hi.s vows that he needs his conscience enlightened, so as to act in something like a conscientious way. Does pastoral oversight include this ? Itow careful a Session gets sometimes of the "consciences," of the people when it is going to entail on them a duty of close dealing with them touching their s|)iritual life and that of their childrf n. We do not moan by the rpiostion any inquisi- torial act, but simply that that comes within the i)rovince of the religious oversight of the congregation. Montreal and (^ttawtv, report : "Very many parents are conscientiously performing their vows. One Session replied, 'God alone knows if they are fvdly observed'; another, 'they are in a few cases ' ; another, ' some do ' ; another, ' very imperfectly ' ; and on the whole we have to conclude there is much room fiu- ' improvement.' " Manitoba and N.-\V. Territories : "The vows taken by parents at the baptism of their children are terribly neglected. One Presbytery says : ' On the part of a great many baptism is a respectable form. . . . It is clear that the solemnity and importance of these vows are hardly felt by many of our people.' Tonmto and Kingston, " While some Sessions have answered in the affirmative, and a few boldly in the negative, a nu d)er answer very cautiously, but by far the largest number do not answer or rule the (piestion otit of court altogether." Halifax Presbytery replies : "The answers are very discouraging. There is too much reason to fear that thei)arents do not realize as they should the s. In some places the jiercent.'xge is large." No inimber is given however. The other Presbyteries reported are striving to ascertain.

Sauh'een, " Many of our elilers are active co-workers with the ministers, while .some do very little ; and as far as district visitation and prayer-meeting is under their supervision it is the i xception n )t the rule." The rule is to go nlone, though in some few cases they go with the minister. _ Hamilton and London re|);irt, " Some elders visit none, others once a year, while a good few visit four times yearly.

(Montreal and Ottawa) ; tlie attendance is most hopeful (Hamilton and London) ; while from Toronto and Kingston we have this full account : — " Till! luuform answer is that they are well attended, members rarely absenting themselves from it except for excellent reasons. Percentages are frequently given, anci range all the way from "lO per cent, to it.*) per cent., the average being about 80 per cent. "As might be expected, it ia observed more frequently in urban than in rurnl congregations. Four congregations in Toronto Presbytery observe it (i times ; two, 5 times ; seventeen, 4 times ; nine, 3 times, and three, twice yearly. Owen Sound : 'IJuarterly in mi>8t congregations ...in some twice.' Orangeville ; ' Three congregations observe it four times. Of the rest, some three times and some twice a year.' Ouelph : ' .Seven observe it quarterly, the rest three times a year.' In most cases one or two preparatory services— though occasionally a week's preparatory services— are held ; and, in a few cases, a thanksgiving service is held on Monroved " (Toronto and Kingston.) "The prayer meeting is not so well attended. A very small percentage of our people, in most localities, attend the prayer meeting" (Manitoba). "The majority of congregations report, 'only fairly well,' ' not very well,' 'poorly attended,' etc. The tone, how- ever, of a few reports is more cheerful and hopeful " (Montreal and Ottawa). "The same may be said of Hamilton and London. "There might be a much larger attendance at the weekly prayer meeting" (Halifax). "Is well attended and is universal" (Truro). Many reply, "Fairly well;" others " well," " good ;" some " not so well " (P. E. Island). While in St. John, N.li. , the answers range from "very poorly" to "satisfactorily, indeed."

The "Sunday drive ", traffic on the llideau canal, and Uoman Catholic freedom on that day, trouble the Montreal and Ottawa Synod. Otherwise it is well observed. "The Church herself has done much to break in upon the sanctity of the Lord's day, by theatrical services, hysterical attempts to draw the crowd, and in some cases to make money in ways most displeasing to Christ.'' (Hamilton and London.) "Salibathis well observed in country districts, there is a great deal of desecration in the cities and towns." (Halifax.) " It is not so well observed as it should be, street cars run, 'jigar shops are open, livery stables have full play, Sunday excursions, Sunday skating, etc. The reverence for God's Day is slowly passing away." (St. Andrew's, St. John, N. B.) In Ontario it is generally well observed, except at lake ports and railway centres. VIII.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SABBATH SCHOOLS. Your Comiuittoo beg to report that they have eudoavoared to carry out the iustruotious of last Assembly in regard to all the brauchos of work entrusted to thoir care. The statistical returns nro not so full aa your Couimittco nonld desire, and in many caHes the report was burdened with iudeliuito replies, such ab, " uU," •' nearly all," "ail are oxpccted to," "not many," etc. Such answera are uaeloes for statistical purposes and have been treated as blanks, A cfvrelul r tiniate made by the person filling up the report would be of real worth, but the Convener of thu I'resbytory's Committee cannot be expected to reduce these uncertain htalimtnts to a numerical value. Several questions, especially in columns 12-lG and 19, were left unanswered by a good many, evidently because no proper system of recording the work done had been adopted in the school. No reports Lave been received fiom the Presbyteries of Brandon and Columbia, nor from the Synod ol Manitoba and the NorthWest, and necessarily none from the Synod of the Maritime l*rov'uci>6, which dods not meet until October. For the flrst time, for several years at least, your Convener has had access to the Presbytery report^. It is absolutely necessary that these should be siut to him. The Synod reports would not come to hand in time, nor wouM they fuini.Tli all the facts which should ba laid before the Assembly. The statistics of Sabbath Schools should be as thoroughly analyzed as those of the Church at large. As far as your Committee can learn, the forty- rne Presbyteries which have reported contain i,C88 Sabbath Schools, but there is reason to suspect that this is not a complete enumeration. Allowing thirty for the two unreported Presbyteries, we have a probable total of 1,718, an increase of nineteen over last year. i;oturns have been received from 1,437 (81 per cent.) leaving 281 which have resisted the repeated a|)peals of I'rosbyterial Conveners. The number which rijjoited last year was 1,G;V2, or 97.8 ))or cent, of the wholo. There are, therefore, 215 schools reporting for 1888, but not for 1889. Notwithstanding this deficiency, your Committee are able to give a very complete estimate of the numerical strength and general eflioiency of our Sunday School army. Oilicers and Teachers. -1,399 schools (or i^l.-l per cent, of the whole) report that the total number of their officers and teachers is 1-1,:)71. Allowing a proportionate number, say 1,0G3, or one-third of the average quota to each, for the 319 unreported schools, w" obtain a total of 15,4:j1, or 5S3 more than last year. ,St'/«)!ar«.— 1,101 f>choo!8 (81.7 per cent.) report the total number of scholars on the roll as 12,>,715. Seeing that nearly all the larger schools are included in our ctatistical returns, and that many of those which did not respond are amongst the smallest and least p osperous, we cannot assume that each of the remaining 31-1 contains more than one-third of the average number of scholars. Thi.'' estimate would give us 139,135 as the total number under instruction in our Sabbath Schools— 0,927 more than last year, an increase of more than five per cent. The average number of scholar* to each teacher is eleven. This includes piimary and Bible classes, which are usually large. Probably the actual average in ordinary classes would not be more than eight. In 740 schools (43.4 per cent.) there is a total increase of 12,739 scholars. Allowing, as before, for the 281 schools not hoard from, we may set the number of new names placed upon our class rolls at 13,582. Attendance. — 1,350 schools (78,0 per cent.) report that the average attendance of scholars is 82,099, or 01. 1 per cent, oi the total number on their rolls,* and 1,203 (70.0 per cent.) report au average attendance of officers and teachers of 10,255, oi' 79 9 per cent. The combined average atteudauoo of officers, teachers, and scholars is 07.4 per cent., an increase of 7.3 per cent, over last year. liecitatiotiK. — 1,035 schools (00.2 per cent.) report that 00,805 scholars (02.9 percent.) are in the habit of committing Scripture to mom iry. It is diffioult to estimate the full value of this *Id caloulatiug porceutagos and avorugoa only those Bobo^ls wore counted which gave both the items concerned. u. Appendix No. 34. fact, for no distinction is made between those who memorize the Golden Text alone and thoHe who do a great deal more. Considering that the former class may swell the total given, the vciy low percentage is far from satisfactory. In 1,080 schools (62.9 per cent.), 67,555 aoholars (60.3 per cent.), arc in the habit of com- mitting the Shorter Catechism to memory. There is the same va^sueness attached to this itum as to the last. We foar that a largo number confine their attention to the solitary question or two given on the Westminster Lesson Loaf. More than this is surely desirable. Our scholars should each be the possessor of a Catechism and recite a portion of it more or less according to ability, every Sabbath. We cannot congratulate ourselves upon the fact that only sixty per cent, of our young people are familiar with our incomparable summary of Divine truth. In 847 schools (49. H per cent.) 47,394 scholars (61.1 per cent,) gave evidence that they usually prepared their Scripture lesson before coming to the Sabbath S 'lool. The accuracy of the data upon which this report rests must depend largely upon the teac r's judgment and the scholar's honesty. The entry of such a record in the class register every week will, no doubt, hn' a constraining influence upon the members of the claaa, but the chief responsibility must reui. upon parents. Their part is to see that their children make some preparation for the Sabbath School as well as for the Public School. More especially should they feel the obligation resting upon them in regard to the former, not only because of its higher otiarncter, but also because the Sabbath School teacher ia precluded from using those disciplinary agencies which are legitimate in the latter. That nearly 40 per cent, come unprepared is a sad revelation of the decline in home ri ligions instruction. Church Relations. — In 1,002 schools (58.13 per cent.) 2,075 elders are engaged as oflicera or teachers. Allowing a due quota for the unreported schools, we may say that 2,463, or 43.9 per eent., of the total eldership of the Church are proving themselves *' apt to teach " and are obey- ing the Master's injunction, to one who was " also an elder," " Feed my lambs." In 1,120 schools (65.2 per cent.) there are 53,427 scholars (53.1 per cent.) in regular attend- ance upon the ordinaiy Church services. The answers under this head are oftun extremely vague, showing that the question, "Have you been at Church ? '' has not been definitely asked and the answer recorded. Your Committee would earnestly urge upon all teachers the wisdom of doing this. In a state of society where neglect of ordinances is too common, and where the yonng are exposed to many temptatione to absent themselves from the House of God, where they are comparatively unrestrained by public censure, or even parental authority and example, we cannot impress upon the youthful mind too deeply, or too frequently, the duty of regular attendance upon Divine worship. Were the question asked of every scholar, every Sabbath, accompanied by a word of counsel, the consciences of the entire class would be educated and ultimately the sentiments of the whole community would become more pronounced in regard to this duty. We would like to believe that more than 53 per cent, of our young people frequent the sanctuary, but the inflexible arithmetic of our reports will not flatter. In connection with 93 schools (5.4 per cent.) a communicants' class is reported. In a large number of cases instruction is given in reference to the fiord's Supper and the covenant privil eges of the young, but it has not been reported because the class '.v..^ uot special or permanent through- out the year. In a larger number of schools these topics have engaged the attention of ministers' Bible classes at suitable times. Yet your Committee foel that instead of omitting this question because so few have repHed, special attention should bo drawn to the importance of form'.ng classes for the study of some such text book as Prof. Macadam's " The Master's Memorial." A. clear and detailed exposition of the ordinance of the Supper and the baptismal relations of the young would dispel many errors and prejudices. It would fortify the Church of the future against saoramtntarian superstition and anabaptist individualism and leal to a richer, because more iutoliigeut, appreciation of the bles.iinga which are " represented, sealed aud applied " in the Sacraments of the Xew Covenant. One Presbytery suggosts that the question be omitted because it does not fall within the scope of the Committee's commi^;s^ou We submit that our field should not be narrowed, but rather broadened, so that we may legitimately take cognizance of all that concerns the religious welfare of the youth of the Church. From 683 schools (39.7 per cent.) we learn that 3,941 scholars have entered into full communion during the past year. If we add a small percentage for the 281 unreported schools, we shall have a probable total of 4,193, or 427 more than last year. The total number of communicants on the rolls of 913 schools (53.1 per cent.) is 13,333, Few of our schools have reached the standard attained by that at Waddingtou, N.Y., in the Presbytery of Brockville, where all are enrolled either as scholarn or teachers, yet this is cer- tainly the (.oal for which we should strive. In some form or other, the systemntic study of God's Word should engage the attention of every Christian on the S.ibbath day, and this is more likely to be attended to if there is concerted action under earnest-niiii UhI instructors. Contributions. — 1,143 schools (66. .3 per cent.) report that .?()',), 130 htve been raised for all purposes. Since ofiicors and teachers have contributed to thi.s amount as well as scholars, we must take the average for the whole membership of the Sabbath School. This will be 48 cents apiece ; last year the average was 45 cents nearly. E.stimating the unreported schools, as before, we obtain a grand total of #73,626, an increase of $S,066 over last year. Only 577 schools (33.6 per cent.) ura reported as contributing to any of the Schemes of the Church. We have reason to hope that our returns on this are very defective, but dealing with Appendix No. 34. in.

Tho average contribution per member of the Sal>bath School was 17 cents, or less than one cent lor every three Sabbaths. Many schools have not informed us as to tho proportion contributed to each scheme. Of the sum mentioned above, $22,S1G liave baon allocated as follows : — Homo Missions and Augmen- tation, $5,239; Foreign Missions, S8,042; French Evangelization, $6,27'3 ; Co11c's;ps, S582, and the remaining i-cheme?, $1,778. Home MiHsions have been remembered by 160 schools (9.3 per cent.) in contributions vary- ing from 15 oonts jier member in tho Presbytery of Kingston to lesser rates in all but Lanark and lienfrow, Lunenburg and Shelburne, Miunedosa, Truro, Victoria and Uiohmond, and Wal- lace, which give nothing to this sohomo. Dividing the total amount by tlie total membership of our schools, we liud that the average is four cents per member. Foreign Missions, which havo been most earnestly pressed upon the attention of our young people for a geueratiou past, havo yet obtained substantiHl evidence of interest from but 392 schools (22.8 per cent.). Of these the Presbytery of Montreal stands at the head, with an aver- age of 21 cents per member. Nothing is contributed by the Presbyteries of Begina and Hock Lake. The average over the whole Church is six cents for every member of the Sabbath f-chool. French Evan!?elization receives contributions from 223 schools (13,0 per cent.). The most liberal givers are naturally found in the Presbytery of Montreal, which again comes to the front with an average of 15 cents por membor. Seven Presbyteries are unrepresented in this column, viz.: Lunenburg and Shelburne, Minuedoaa, Newfoundland, Regina, Hook Like, Victoria and Rich- mond and Wallace. The average over the whole Church is the same as for Home Missions. Tho claims of our colleges have never been pressed upon our Sabbath schools generally, so that we are not surprised to find that only 22 schools (1.3 per cent.) have been led, probably through special interest, to contribute to their support. The largest amounts came from the Presbyteries of Toronto, Hamilton and Winnipeg; the latter showing tho highest average, namely, four cents for every member of the Sabbath school. The remaining schemes of the Church received small sums from (iO schools (3.3 per cent.) By contributing 'J?, 209 to other religious and benevolent objects, 2 IS schools (12.0 per cent.) have shown their Catholic spirit and their interest in tho general welfare of the community and its charitable institutions. The total amount expended upon Sabbath schools, as gathered from 949 reports (55,2 per cent.), was §33,927. Of this, congregations supplied $12,225, or 36 per cent. While many have fully discharged their duty, and, in accordance with the repeated recommendation of the General Assembly, bear all the financial burden of the Sabb.tth school, yet to so small an extent is this example followed that the average contribution per communicant, for this purpose, i^ only nine cents. No more cogent reasons could bo offered for the teaching of systematic beneficence in our schools than the foregoing financial tacts present. vVe are not doing our duty to ourselves, to our children or to the Church of the future, when we leave our schools to bear their own finan- cial burdens, and enlist the interest of but a little more than one-third in the schemes of the Church. AotiuK upon the permis-iion given by last Assembly, contributions were solicited towards the expenses of the Committee. .\ hundred and sixty-six schools and individuals have responded, with $i34o.l6. Nearly every remittance was accompanied with wjrds of encouragement which were most grateful. A full statement of receipts will be found in the appon lix. Higher litUgiom Instruction. — Your Committee h^ive given special attention to the institu- tion of the scheme of Higher Religious Instruction. As soon as possible after the rising of last Assembly, copies of tho Syllabus and Re.-julatious were mailed to all ministers and Sabbath school superintendents whose postoflioe addresses your C )nvener could ascertain. Collecting cards for thu purpose of soliciting sibscriptions t:)wards defraying the expenses of tho Committee, wore also issued. Meetings of tho Committee wore hold during the session of the Syn.jd of the Maritime Provinces on October 4th, and also at Toronto on the Sird and 24th of the same moutli, A;, these meetings tho Comoiitiee made all the necessary arrangements connected with the examinations, prepared tho Syllabus for 1890, and appointed sub-committoes to mature (iortain matters reiiuiring more lougthenod consideration. A copy of tin Syllabus and li':)^ulatious, with particulars relating to the examinations, will be found in the appendix. The total unmber of candidates who applied for examination was 1,087, but 1,156 are re- ported as having given more or loss attention to tho subjects laid down. Uf those who entered, G31 chose the Biblical Department, 361 tho Doctrinal and 92 the Historical. Many were ambi- tious enough to try two departments, so that the actual numbur of separate individuals was loss than the numbers mentioned. Only GOO, however, sent in p.'ipars to be examined. This falling off is easily explained. Some, no doubt, sent in their naiuo.-^ m order to secure a place, without having very clearly decided to .-ttudy. Others may have been persuaded by enthusiastic compan- ions or ti'achers, but haviut; no tasto for hard work, howtiver desirable a diploma might bo, thoy drow buck whfn the day of examination approached. Few took tho matter up in earnest uutil near the end of the year, and then tho time for preparation was so sl-ort ti)at some did not feel tbemsflves ready to luce tho ordeal. In certain cases we kuow large classes were disappointed in IV. Appendix No. 34. not being able to procure the text books laid down. The rokeme created a larger demand (or thcBe volumes than booksellers anticipated, and the sources from which supplies could be most reaaily obtained were not known to everybody. The hearty thanks of the Assembly are due to the chief examiners who set the questions, to their colleagues who read and valued the answers of candidates, and to the presiding examin- ers for their able aEsistanoe so cheerfully given. The qucEtion papers were fully up to a college standard, and the answers were reported upon with mingled justice and mercy. The regulations adopted by the Assembly, and the supplementary instructions issued by the Committee, fecarfd the almost perfect working of details. The only errors that occurred arose from inattention to the directions plainly given, and even these were so guarded against that they were rectified at once, without any serious confusion anywhere. As might have been expected where the preparation was so hasty and the papers set were of 80 high a standard, a large number failed to obtain the 50 per cent, necessary for a diploma. Still 298, or nearly one-half, have gained the coveted honour. Of these, seven obtained 90 per cent., and are therefore entitled to the Assembly's silver medal, and 55 obtained 75 per cent., but less than 90 per cent., and are entitled to a book prize. The Presbjtery of Peterborough sent up the largest number of candidates (64), and the largest number of diplomas was taken by the Presbytery of Toronto (31), closely followed by the Presbytery of Regina (30). Twenty-two sent in essays en the assigned subject, "Israel in the time of Solomon." These were distributed as follows :— Senior, 11 ; Intermediate, 7 ; Junior, 4. Four Seniors and two Intermediates have obtained the standard required for a medal ; and two Seniors, one Interme- diate and one Junior, that for a prize. Five Seniors, three Intermediates and one Junior obtain simply diplomas. The examiners speak in the highest terms of the essays to which the medal standard is given. ' The scheme has met with a success far beyond the expectations of its promoters, and there is an increasing interest in it manifesting itself. Your Committee heartily recommend the Assembly to continue it as a permanent Agency in the religious instruction of our youth. They submit the Syllabus for the current year for your approval. Our experience suggests some i-light modifications h, matters of detail andadminiBtratioii:— (1) In some cases the examination, for various reasons, was not held on the day or at the hour prescribed. Your Committee are of the op-'aion that simultaneity is an essential feature of the examinations and must not be violated. Where, from absolutely unavoidable and unforeseen causes, an examination cannot be held as appointed, they would suggest that a full statement of the case be laid before the Committee or its executive ^oard, and that they have power to cancel or sustain the examination. (2) Much inconvenience has been felt in several quarters through the holding of our exam- inations at a time when the presence of the candidates is required in the Public sbhool. In Kome cases pupils who absent themselves, even for so laudable a reason, are placed at a disadvantage in competition for school honours. There are, further, localities where the only building suit- able for holding the examinations in is the public school, and this, of course, cannot be used for that purpose during school hours. To obviate these difficulties your Committee would recom- mend that the examinations be held during the Christmas holidays, on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 80th and 31 st, 1890. This would, for many reasons of its own, be a preferable date. The subjects would be fresh in the minds of candidates, the work of another year could be en- tered upon at once, and the duties of conveners and examiners would be completed before the statistical returns claimed their attention. (3) The question papers prepared for Juniors and Intermediates have been objected to as too diA'icult for the former, and your Committee are constrained to admit the force of this. It is difficult to test adequately the knowledge of a young person over 16 years of ago without treat- ing too severely a child of 12. Your Committee would therefore recommend a modification of the grading of cppdidates, and the issue of a simpler question paper (or Juniors. Our sugges- tion is contained in recommendation 6. The following are the Committee's recommendations : 1. That Sabbath Schools be again urged to adopt the system of Registers recommended by the Assembly, and to prepare themselves to answer the questions, many of which are repeated almost without variation, every year. 2. That the Assembly urge upon office-bearers and teachers the duty of cultivating in the young the grace of liberality, by frequently bringing be(ore them the claims of tho Church's Schemes, and adopting some systematic method of collecting their c tYerings, and that congrega- tions be again urged to defray the whole expenses of the Sabbath School as part of their ordinary outlay, so that the contributions of the scholars may be wholly devoted to mipsionary objects. 3. That the Assembly express its satisfaction at the success which tho Scheme of Higher Religious instruction has attained, approve of the Examination Syllabus for 1890, and instruct the Committee to prepare and publish another for 1891 not later than December 1st, also authorize its Moderator to sign the Diplomas. 4. That when-^ver, from necessary and unforeseen oauises, an examination is not held on the day and at the hour prescribed, a full report of the circumst.iuces shall be made by the pre- siding examiner to tho Convener, by whom the case shall be (•ubmitted to tho Committee or its Executive Board, who shall have power to deal with the case.

(b) The Intermediate Qrade shall include all candidates between the ages of fifteen ami twenty years. (c) Ages in all oases are to be reckoned as on the day of examination. 7. That the appointment of examiners and all details connected with the Scheme be left to the Committee. 8. That Sabbath School teachers be urged to hold weekly meetings for lesson study, and to form normal or other classes dei sides the Convener, which shall meet as often as necessary, and whose travelling expenses shall be paid ont of the funds of the Committee. 10. That the Committee be instructed to enquire in regard to the number, names and constitutions of the various organizations of a religious or literary character existing amongst our young people, and more or less avowedly in connection with the Church, and report the result of its enquiries to next Assembly. 11.

Ynur coiiimitteo have |iloiisure in stiititii; that all the reports receiveil tiiis year fnun tlit- Synods •have liceii carefully prepared and are full of information and sn^'jjestion. Uepiirts have heen receiveil from Maritime Provinces, Preshyteries of Halifax and Truro ; fvoin .Synod of Montreal and Ottawa (Ivev. Joseph White, Convener) ; from Synod of T.ironto and Kiim'ston (Key. J. B. Fraser, M. !).. Convener) : from Synod of Hamilton and Jjondon (Kev. \V. .). Dey, Convener) ; from Synod of Manitoba and \.-W.T. (I{ev. .Tames Kanpiharson, Convener). The information furnished liy I'reshyteries this year has been more k'eneral iinit more satisfac- tory than heretofore. This is due, we htlievi', partly to an inereasin;.; intei'est in the subject, and jiartly to the fact that a series of ipiestious were sent down liy the Assembly to the Presbyteries throm,di the Synodical Conveners. There are many dark shadows in the reports but taken as a whole tlipy are eneoura^'intr. We .dioiUil thankfully remember even when (entering o\U' earnest pri.tests against the gross vi(datieople of this land are as a whido, and tlie Presbyterian community in partieular, a Sabbathkeepin!,' peojde. Two thing's we are called upon to do as a Cluneh — 1, resist the encroai'hinents made upon the Day by those who throuLfh tireed of j,'ain or love of pleasure would destroy it as a day (^f rest ; 2. seek for a higher, more spiritual form of Sabbath oliservance from tliosi> who profess to honour the Day. In the line of (luestions sent down by the .Vssembly we present a synojisis of the Synodical Kepiuts. The first ipiestion is as follows :-- I. What form of Sabbath lireakin^' jirevails throughout the bounds of your Presbytery? Si/iiD'/ of Hdiniltoii (iiiil Liimloii. — Visitin;^', pleasure driving, boating, secret tippling in liar rooms, funerals, running railroad trains, steamboats, opening of retail shops. Sfinrid iif Torai'td oiul A'/mi/s^o;;. — I'leasure walkinff, driving, Ijoating, .social visiting, liipior drinking, gamliliiig, work in the railway yards, railway trains, excur.>-ions. Siinoil of M'mtrmI ami Ottava.— The (t.T.U. and C.P.K. are constant transgressors of the Sabbatli. Montreal Presbytery reports that four passenger trains arrive and three depart every Sabbath on the (J.T.ll. an/i about the same on the C. 1:'. U. ; sale of American Sunday newspapers ; Sunday work done on ^[onday newspapers ; evils connected with Sohmor I'ark : boating, Hshing, gambling, pleasure driving ; post offices open on .Sunday ; open saloons — customs of the French and Roman Ca'holics generally on S.ib'o.tlh afternoons. Sfjicitl ii/ Mnint' l/ii unci NovUi-H'cut 2'f)')'(7ori(',<.— Visiting, driving, reading secular literature, unilup indulgence in sleep on Salibath morning, hunting, fishing, boating, cattle de.iieis prosecuting their trade on Sabbatli, railway construction, running of railroad trains, p.assengf-r and freight. 7'hf .Pir.ilii/tirii nj Cdiiiihhiit reports as last year. Running of passenger and freight ; running steamboats for ordinary tratKc and e.vcursion iiartios ; publication of the CoUmht newsjiaper .it Victoria, the Ncwk Adirrtixcr at \'ancouver, ami the Truth at New Westminster ; saloons open and outside the cities the stoics do morn or li-;s business ; hunting, fishli\g, and all sorts of outdoor games engaged in ; nearly all the post othces are open. From Ihf Morts tlie running of street cars, jilying of their business by small grocers, playing of bands by thf military and Salvation Army street i)arades. Truro reports travel on the Intercolonial Railway .ind the running of the blast furnace at the Acadia mines. The above catalogue of offences, great and snuill, leads to this inference : that although on the whole this is a Sabbath-keeping land, there is nnich yet to be done before even outwardly the day is regularly and properly observed. II. What measures have been taken to check Sabbath breaking and to itromote the due observ- ance of the Lord's Day? ^tnntime I'vnvinces. —Halifax reports presentation of the truth with regard to the sanctity of the Sabbath ; the Evangelical Alliance has taken repeated actions in a variety of cases of Sabbath desecration ; a Society for the better observance of the Lord'.s Day ha.s been organized ; .'ii<:<00 have Iteen already spent in an effort to stop the horse-cars -as yet without success ; iietitions were sent to Parliament in favour of Mr. Charlton's Bill, and members for the city have been written to and Ai'i'Kxnix No. .S5. in tlu' Synods the SyiKiilical lio tliie iibnerv- iir!,'iMl to support it.

Five Presbyteries report " nothini; special" which, as thr report says, "seems to indicate a sinful inditl'erence to the iiiiportiince of the interests involved." Seiuions have been preached on the subject and in some cases the i?riportanco of Sabbath Observani'e has been specially emphasized in the Sabbath Schools. In one case personal remonstrance witli bout owners accomplished sumetldni.;. In another a dei)\itation to the Nlunicip.d Council led L the suppression of InatiULr on the street.

In many cases parties ^ndlty ot Sabbath ilesecration hav.' been dealt with privately. In some cases the law has been broufiht into force and in others tie- threat to enforce it was proved sullicient to stop lawlessness. III.

(i) APPENDIX No. m. RKFORT ON TEMrEKANCE. To the Rnie*enii the General Assembly ; The Committee on Temperance re.spectfiilly suhmit the following report : — 1. On matters remitted to it by the last (leneral Assembly. (!.) A request from the Dominion .Alliance anent appointment of delegates (Minutes, 1889, /. .'ifi). It was found impossible to have a meeting of the Committee in time to do anything with it. {i ) The overture from the Presbytery of Ottawa, presented by Dr. Moore, anent amend- ments to the Liquor License Law of Ontario (Minutes, 1889,/ 69). After some correspondence it was left to the care of Dr. Moore and others interested, with the result that the Legislature of Ontario passed a bill enacting various ameudmcuts to the License Law of that Province, which Hon. Mr. Mowatt says, " does not embrace all the matters the friends of temperance desire, but the bill goes quite as far as we find practic d at present." It considerably strengthens the restrictive features of the law. (3.) The ninth recommendation adopted last year (Minutes. 1889, /. 44,) " authorized " the Committee " to carry out, as soon as practicable, the instructions of the last Assembly as to petitioning the Dominion Parliament," which instructions read: "That the Assembly's Committee be instructed to lake all proper measures to secure the cooperation of the other Churches oi the Dominion with a view of petitioning the Dominion Government in favor of entire Prohibition at the enrliest possible date, and such cofiperation having been secured, to prepare forms of petition to be signed by our people " (Minutes, 1888,/. 43, z*.) The tHsk appeared to be no easy one ; but as the instructions had been unanimously given by two successive Assemblies, it was felt that a vigorous effort must be made to carry them out. Correspondence was begun early in October last, and considerable progress was made, when it was found that it would be impossible to complete the necessary organization far enough to present a petition to the Parliament of H90. Having, however, secured the hearty cooperation of the Committee on Temperance ot the Methodist Church ol Canada, through Rev. D. L. Hrethour. Secretary of the Ontario Section, it was agreed that the two committees unite in further negotiations with other Churches. Accordingly a joint letter was issued by these Committees on April 3()th, addressed lo different Church Courts in the Dominion, pcessing upon tlicir careful and favorable consideration, with the purpose, if possible, of presenting a very large .petition to the Parliameat of 1891, the following proposals : — " \. That your Reverend Court adopt a resolution favoring the legal Prohibition of the liquor traffic, in form somewhat like the following : IVhereas, The traffic in intoxicating liquors is a recognized evil, producing a large proportion of the poverty, suffering, disorder and crime in our Dominion, and unnecessarily adding much to the taxes of our people ; and IVhereas, We believe that a law enacted by the Dominion Parlia ment prohibiting the importation, manufacture, and sale of all alcoholic liquors, except for use in mechanical, medicinal, and sacramental (lurposes, and containing ample provisions for its strict enforcement by the proper authorities, will greatly diminish these and other evils, and largely increase the prosperity and promote the health, peace and morals of our country. // is therefore resohied, That in the opinion of this it is now the duty of the Dominion Parliament to enact snch a prohibitory law. 2. That a form of petition to the Dominion Parliament, asking for the enactment of su-jh a prohibitory law be agreed upon by the Committees on Temperance of the different Churches, and that each Committee attend to the work, and bear the expense of circulating such petitions among its own people. 3. That such petitions be signed by members and adherents of the Churches, who are not less than sixteen yiars of age. 4. That the a.'ranging and carrying out of all necessary details be entrusted to a joint committee to be composed of one member of the Committee of each Church co-operating in this movement." The results of this effort cannot be fully known for some time. Resolution 8, at the end of this report, will place the matter before you for further action. (4.) The instructions of last Assembly anent the preparation of an exercise suitable for a Sabbath School Service (Minutes, 1889,/. 47, 2,) have not been carried out, because, (1) It was difficult to know just what the S. S. Committee would regard as suitable, and (2) While this was being ascertained that Committee decided not to bear the expense of printing such exercise, if prepared. ii Appendix No. 36. {a.) Your Committee was requested to draft a simple constitution (t)r Temperance Societies and iiands of Hope, under tlie su|icrvisi()n ot Sessions and Sabbath Sciiools, and rMbniit to this Assembly, (Afiiiiiks, I88!l, />. 44, viii.) Your (\)mmittce is not prcpiired to report, and in licsolution Id, asks that the instructions lie continued. (fi.) The questions to be submitted to sessions this year will be found appended to this report. They have been framed with the view of bringing out the attitude of the ('hurch anil coimtry towards the whole question, and to ascertain, if possible, how far we have advanced, and just where we stand. II. On replies to questions issued to Sessions by last Assemhiy. Reports, which give evidence of much .nticntion to the work, have been receivetl from the Synods of Montreal and Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston, Hamilton and London, and Manitoba and N. VV. Territories. The Synod of the .Maritime I'rovinces does not meet until October, but it always takes an advanced position on the (|ULstion 'if Temperance, and adopts a strong report. Reports were forwarded by 40 out of iho 43 Home Presbyteries of our Church, and, with few e.xceptions, thev were full and carefully [)repared. Only the Presbyteries of Sarnia, Sydney, and Newfoundland hW'A in this duty. All these reports show that returns were received from much P'"re than the usual number ofScssion«:, — but why not from all ? A recommendation of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston may hel]) to remedy this defect. It is, " that in issuing papers for the use of se.ssions the ques- tions be printed without spaces between them ; and that a large double page for answers be sup|)lied, with spaces for the signatures of the Moderator and Clerk of Session, and also for the date on which the report was considered and adopted by the Session." The deliverance of the Assembly on this important sidiject has much weight ; and as it is based on the information furnished by sessions in their returns, it is important that every session should do its share in heljiing to make that deliverance a fair representation of the mind of the whole Church. In the Summary that follo\v:i, your Committee has tried to place before you facts and conclu- sions justified by the reports that have been received. Qiicslion 1 . — " To what extent does the liquor traffic affect public morality atid domestic happiness \n your coni^regation and communiti) ?" 1. l.N THE Cdnc.rkc-.aiion. — The effects appear only to a limited extent, so far as communi- cants and their families are concerned, although, even here, there are many sad objections (■Congregations lose in two ways. Many are hintlered from becoming members, and some, after years of moder.^le drinking, drop from the membership of the church. Country congregations, as a rule, are less allected than those in villages, towns, cities, and along railroads. The rejiorts ail regartl the situation as hopeful, as the improvement, of late years, has heen very marked. 2. In IIIK (^)MMt'.NiTV. — Here the unanimity of the reports is depressing. Only from a very few quiet coii ,ry districts, where congregation and community are nearly identical, is there any other than the one sad story, — that the evil efTects are great, both as regards public morality and '!;.iiiestic happiness. • The answers to the next question will show in what fornts these evils manifest themselves. The reports warrant your (."ommittce in concluding (1) That the Church, in its attitude towards the liquor tratlic, is hopefully widening the line between it and herself, so much so that those alive to her interests soon cease to look favorably upon that tralTic, and that those who !)ccome its friends soon lose interest in religious matters. (2.) That, with but few exceptions, the licpior traffic has been driven from the country districts, and is now confined to villages, towns and cities. (.3.) That the evils of intemperance are most apparent where liquor saloons are within easy reach. In places far remov '1 from th-^m these evils are comparatively little seen. (4.) In proportion as the prohibitive features of our existing liquor laws prevail, the evil effects of the traffic are reduced. This is illustrated in two ways, (a) In sections of Ontario, where there has b;en a reversion from even partial, and often poorlv enforced Prohibition, to License, the results have been almost uniformly unfavorable to sobriety and good order, {fi) In districts, where under license laws, no licenses have been granted, and the law enforced, the saloon has been banished, and the results arc, without exception, acknowledged to be most beneficial. Question 2. — " /« what forms arc the c-'ils of Intemperance more speciallji manifested ?" The answers to this qucL-tion, although they profess to specify only some of the forms, and do not therefore reveal the w'.ile truth, are full enough, and teriible enough to show that the liquor traffic, judged by its fruits, fully justifies the earnest cry, heard on every side, that it be rooted up. Your Committee, to secure brevity and clearness, has classified the information received from all parts of the Dominion, showing, approximately at least, the forms in which, according to the reports, these evils manifest themselves. 1. In thk lNDiV'i)tiAL.—fc\>rmation of depraved appetite and vicious habits. — Idleness.— Waste of strength, time, and talent. — Ruin of business. — Discontent, — Obliteration of the moral powers, and the loss of manliness. — Hardness of heart. — Untruthfulness. — Imbruting of character. — Unchastitj.— Loss of health and life. — Loss of the soul. lerancc Societies id rMbmit to this report, and in p|)cn(letl to this the (Jhiirch anil vc ailvanced, anil received from the an, and Manitoba iintil October, but s a stronn report, rch, and, with few irnia, Sydney, and the usual number ito and Kingston sessions tlie qucs- rc for answers be ' and also for I he deliverance of the iin the informati()n Id do its share in lie Church.

These are dismal (acts, furnished by sessions of our Church in all parts of this great country. They are presented without comment, and are lelt to do their work, — to touch tlie heart ami arouse the consciencti of the Church to a keener sense of her duty towards this terrible evilthat is cvnfrontiiig her at every turn, and hiuderiiii; her work in every dupartnient. Question 3. — " Is there in vour Com^ret^ation a Bixiid of f/ofie, n Prohibition Let:;iie,a IVoiHiVt's Christian Temperance Union, or any other Temperance Societif I" For sevc'al years, successive Assemblies have rciMmmcnded the formation of Temjierame Societies and Hands of Hope in Congregations and Sabbath Schools. Some Congregations have large Hands of Hope, luul some have Societies for olil and young; others have ))ledge books in Congregations and Sabli.ith Schools, but Congregational Societies are, as yet, not at all general. Nearly nil the diflerent Organizations, however, lor uku, women, and children, are nientioned as doiiiu good, .active work, within the great majoritv of our congregations. Very few indeed report no reiiiperance Society of any kind witliiti llieir bounds. Question 4. — "Do any members of Session, or ,iny of the Sabbath School Teachers take an active interest in Special Temperance work I" In many congregations all the Kiders and S S. Teachers, and in a great majority some of the elders, especially the younger men, and nearly all the S. S. Teachers, are active temperance workeis. The cases in which the sviniiathies ol these important classes of office-bearers in the (^hurch lire not on the side of total abstinence aie happily very few, and are gradually growing fewer. The report on Statistics, pidjlislied last year, shows that our ("Church then hail 5,381 elders, and the report on Sabbath Schools showed that, ap.irt from I ,.'j'iy of these elders, there were engayed in S. S. work l.'l,.'tl'J ofticers and teachers. At the present time there must be about 19,0110 elders and S. S. workers in our Church, and the reports on Temperance show that a large ploporlion of these are activciy enii.i^cd in Tcinpcrance work, jirincipally among the children and youth. These are frfcts whicli slumkl inspire all friends of Total alistinence and Prohibition with hope and courage, urging llieiii to renewed and sustained cHorts. Question b. — ' What is the laic in your muni, ipulily ,is to the sale of intoxicating liquors ? Ho7V is it carried out? Give reasons for any failure observed." Four cl.a.sses of laws are in force in th° Dominion, (I) Proiiihition in the North- West Territories, which, however, I L,),.rts claim to be rendered largely ineffective by the " (bur per cent beer licenses," and llie use and abuse of the "permit system." {•>) THK Canada Tf.mi'1';k.\nck. Act ok IHTS, or •' Scuir Acr, "which has done much to aid in advancing the cause of Temperance and Prohibition In Prince lidwaril Island, where it has had a pretty fair trial, the results have heeii good, although from having lo depend so largely on private enterjiri/.e for carrying it out, its enforcement has heen somewhat spasmodic. (.')) Local Oi'TIO.n. — In Manitoba sevenly- ihree out of one hundred and ten muiiicipaliiies are tinder this torm of law, which is reported to be " lairly w'cll enforced." The tesliinony from Ontario and the North-West is that the results, from even a partial enforcement of a partially prohibitory law, were better than are now obtainecl under a license law. (4) I,ii:knsi-; I^aws enacted by the different provinces, varying somewhat iu the stringency of their restrictive leatures, that of Nova Scotia being the most atlvaiiced in this respect, and that of Ilritish Columbi.i the least stringent. "Any who pay a license fee can sell sovci. days of the week, and twenty-four hours of the day." During last winter important amend- ments, increasing the restrictive features, were made in the litjuor laws of Nova Scotia and Ontario. In the case of Ontario these atnendments " sweep away all licenses for vessels, — make it more difficult to obtain tavern or shop licenses,— and authorize local prohibition by municipal by-law." Reports show that in poitions of Quebec, and in four of the six counties in Nova Scotia under the Licenci Law, the majority of ihe late-payers have refused lo grant any licenses. The degree of enforcement of these laws varies very much, all the way from strict enforce- ment to open violation with iin|)uuity. On the whole it can be said to be only fair. A variety ot reasons are given for failures to enforce the la>v ; the principal of which may be thus briefly summarized. ( I ) The abuse of the " jiermit system" and " four per cent beer licenses" in the North-VVest. (ii) Lack of enfiucing provisions in the Scott Act. (.3) Want of fidelity and courage on the part of some oHicials. (4) Lack of sympathy with the temperance movement on the part of mniiicipal authorities, aiul of magistrates, constables and inspectors. ('^) Annoyance w Appendix No. 80. and (liscourngement to temperance workcrH from terhnical objections and delays in the courts. (6) DIfliculty in getting reliable witnes.neH. (7) i'olitieal influence, es^pecially at election times. (H) In some placuM a lack of public sentiment, and (9) The impossibility of enforcing a license law, itself wrong in principle. QueUioH fi.—" IVhat are the rexulitlions in your Province as to teaching scientific Temperance in the Schools f Hoxu are they observed in your own schools ?" The replies indicate no great change in this matter since the last report. In Ontario and New Brunswick Dr. Richardson's text hook is placed in the regular course of study. In Nova Kcotia it is only recommended to trustees and teachers. The Synod of the Maritime Provinces, which met at Pictou, N. 8., in October last, retolved, " Th.it the Synod petition the Councils of Public Instruction ot Nuva Scotia and Prince Kdwnrd Island, praying them to bring their provi- sion for temperance instruction in the public schools up to the line of the arrangements made by the educational authorities of New Brunswick." The results oi this action have not yet been reported to your Committee. As regiirds Manitoba, and tho North- West, and British Columbia, the information is no' very definite. There seems, however, to be no provision made by the educational authorities fo"" such teaching. The rejiortof Winnipeg Presbytery says, that the substance of session reports is " that a temperance text-lx>ok is allowed as a supplemental reader, hut that the permission is nut taken advantage uf." 'I'emperancc organizations are urgently pressing the importance of the matter of the proper authorities with good hopes of success. The reports clearly indicate that the interest taken in this phase of the question by temperance workers has not been Hiifiicient to make such teaching at all general. There is much room for improvement in this respect. Question 7. — " Sfj/c i/our T'invs on the whole Temperance question with any suggestions as to what should be further douc ?" Reports show that there has been a much fuller expression of opinion than ever before in answer to this question. From these we gather the following ; ( I ) There is general dissatisfaction with the present state of the liquor traffic and the liquor laws. Local and partial prohibition is insufficient, and license l.iws are less effective than local and partial prohibition. (2) Decided expression is given to the opinion that to license the sale of intoxicatiiig liquors is wrong in principle. Only two sessions are reported as venturing to hope for good results from license laws, and by one of these it is regarded only as a step toward Prohibition. (3) The general tone" of the reports is hopeful. Nowhere is there evidence of any setting back in the public sentiment, but, on the contrary, thero are clear indications of a determination to press on to higher attain- ments. (4) Without exception, so far as your Committee has the means of judging, the reports declare that nothing short of " Prohibition " will satisfy "Onward to Prohibition" is the cry all along the line. What now of the means to be employed ? Here also there is a ma-ked unainimity. (I ) The preaching and teaching of the Gospel of Christ. " Great stress is properly laid on a faithful and unremitting pulpit, and on giving the young the proper start (i) i .^ jd suggestion is that " every congregation should have a standing committee on Temperance, as in Presbyteries, Synods and Assembly, to report on the subject at each annual meeting. ' (.3) More faithful efforts are urged in endeavouiing to secure total abstinence on the part of all communicants, and to get all uniting with the Church to become, if not already so, tota' abstainers. (4) Let there be no relaxation in the use of " moral suasion," public agitation, and public education on the whole question of Temperance. (5) Let the e.visting laws be rigidly enforced. (6) Let wisely directed efforts be made to have the restriutive features of these laws still further improved. (7) Let there be no halting until an efficient prohibitory law shall have been obtained and enforced, and (8) That, with these ends in view, our people, in choosing men to fill public positions, vote only for those who are well known to be in full sympathy with Temperance and Prohibition. DEMTERANCB. This Assemhiy believes that the general traffic iu intoxicating liquors is a source of terrible and enormous evils; — that it blights the prospects, destroys the health and character, and ruins the soul of the individual ;— that it; mars the happiness, wastes the resources, and degrades the life of the family ;— that it lowers the moral sentiment, and endangers the peace and safety of society;— that it greatly increases .he number of the " lapsed masses," iuiensifies every evil, and is a most fruitful source of crime ; — that it not only hinders most seriously, and in manpr ways, but anta- gonizes the Church in her work of uplifting the race, and winning souls for Christ ; — and that ii is contrary to the teaching of Scripture, and the spirit of tho Christian religiou. , Therefore, the Assembly adopts the following . . i, , \ , . , , RESOLUTIONS, as indicating the means to be recommended to the people for meeting, and, as far as possible, over- coming it and its accompanying evils : — L That the faithful preaching and teaching of the Gospel is the first and essential element in the work of building up a temperate, prosperous, and godly nation. i I in the courts, election timet, trcing a licentte \fic Timperame In Ontario and :udy.

APPENDIX No. 38. FINANCE REPORT, TORONTO SECTION. 1889-90. ConsideniiK the state of business during the past year, and the financial condition of the country, there IS reas..n tor thankfulne-s that the amounts received for the several Schemes of the Clmrch have been on the whole so satisfactory. It is true that in some cases the receipts show a fallin- off from hist year, liut in otlier cases there is an advance. I he state of the ordinary Fund for Ased^ind Inhnii Ministers is not satisfactory ; but this important object is dealt with by the committee -.pecially ch.-irged with it. It is hoped that the canvass for the Endowment Fund fo/ this obiect will be successful in laisiuj^ at least the amount aimed at, In reference to the AssBm!)ly Fxpense Fund, the recommendation of last Assembly was carried out, and the amount required for the Fund was apportioned to the several Presbyteries But the instruction of the Assembly tliut I'resl)yteries sliouhl see to the raising of the amount apportioned by the congieg.ations within the bounds of the I'resliytery has lieen to a very great extent a dead letter, .and congregations have been left to attend to tlie matter as they chose. Several Presbyteries have either appomtedsome of their n.end.eis to look after this matter or have called the special attention of congregations thereto ; but still it rcMiiains as a fact that a good many congrcations have not given, and some have for years neglected to contrilnite, some of these beinu tions. ^' ' Some city congrega- irculars were sent to settled congregations in the Syuoil of Manitol)a and the North-Wost _ le of the 1 resbyteries especially that of Uegina, gave attention to the matter. The contribu- tions from the hynod of Manitoba and tlie \orth-West were in all 28, viz., from the Presbytery of Winnipeg, 2 contributions; Rock Lake, (i ; Brandon, 2 ; llegina. !l ; Calgary, 5 ; Minnedosa, 1 ; C.lumbia, i. On the whole there is a slight increase in the receipts, and the debt is reduced from S-Wit. -IG to .Vl!'2.3'.). A separate account is opened for the new Book of Forms. The debt at present is 8437 05 • but this will be eventually extinguished by the receipts from the publishers. " ' The books were again examined by Messrs. J. L. Blaikie and John Y.

On page 54, the following Resolution relating to the Temperance Report, should have been inserted: "10, That the instructions of last year to the Committee to prepare a simple constitution for congregational societies be renewed."
