The Moderator, the Eev.

The Moderator then, offering prayer, constituted the General Assembly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only King and Head of the Church. . - , :•■„ ' ■■■:. "—.,*■ :.,': BOLL.

The Assembly, also, cannot but express the coBviction that Intemperance is a great external barrier to the progress of the Church, being a frequent occasion of scandal and discipline, and hindering, in a large measvu-e, in every depart- ment of our work as a Church of Christ. The Assembly consider that Intemperance is maintained chiefly by the customs of society in the lase of intoxicants as a common beverage, and by the public traffic in strong drink. The Assembly, therefore, woiUd earnestly recommend for the office-bearers and members of the Clmrch, the practice of Total Abstinence. And further, would express a decided conviction of the expediency and desirability of an immediate and total Prohibition of the Public traffic in this Dominion. 1- M' I V AGED AND INFIRM MINISTER S FUND — REPORT ON.

THORNTON, D.D. i*ff Dr. Thornton was a native of Scotland. He was ordained a Dr- Thom- Minister in 1833, and was intimately connected with the early his- *°°' tory of Presbyter ianism in Canada. Ho took part in tho organiza- tion, in 1834, of the Missionary Presbytery of the Canadas, in con- nection with the Associate Synod of the United Secession Church in Scotland, and was the last Moderator of that body, when, as the Synod of tho United Presbyterian Church in Canada, it was, in 1861, united with the Presbyterian Claiu"ch of Canada. During the earlier years of his ministry he travelled over tho length and breadth of tho country, and was the first, in various places, to gather to- gether the scattered families of Presbyterians, to become the centres of congregations, which have smce become large and prosperous. Oshawa was one of these, and to this congregation the later years of his ministry were exclusively devoted. In the various Educa- tional Institutions of the country he took a deeyi interest, and also rendered gi-cat service in the cause of Temperance. In all the re- lations of life, domestic and public, bxit especially as a Minister of the Gospel — scholarly, diligent, faithful, and self-sacrificing — he was higlily esteemed and respected by all. He has now ceased from his labours, and enjoys, as we trust, in the better land, tlie immediate presence of the Master he served so faithfully and loved so well. '- REV. ANDREW MELVILLE. Mr. Andrew Melville was a native of Scotland. In the earlier Rev. A, Mcl- part of his life he laboured as a Catechist and Preacher in Great ^'^^''' Britain and Ireland, and also in the United States of America. He became a Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in 1846, and afterwards laboured with great zeal and fidelity in several cliarges in this . country. He was an enthusiastic labourer in his Master's service. His preaching was distinguished by great energy and fervour. A short time before his death he published a work containing excellent specimens of the earnestness and power with which he pressed the great truths of the Gospel on the hearts and consciences of his hearers. Although in later years he ceased to labour as a stated pastor, he still continued to preach the Gospel, with natural force but little abated. But he now rests from his labours, and has gone to wear the conqueror's crown and sing tlie triumphant song. REV, J. IRVINE DUNLOP. Mr. Dunlop was a native of Ireland. In the earlier part of J^""*°^'**^^ bis Ministry ho laboured as a Missionary in the South of Ireland, ' " where he received bodily injuries at the hands of the Roman Catholics, whose resentment was aroused by his faithful proclama- [877] 4:-; P ' i' ^ 42 ACTS AND PROCEEDINOS OF THE OENRRAL ASSEMBLY OF [June, Btowart, Rev. C. C. MA. tion of the truth. Ho subflequontly laboiured in Enpland, in Lady Huntington'B Connection, with ptreat tidelity and zeal. In tho Do- minion of Canada, whore tho closing yoarB of his life were spent, he laboured with equal fidehty and zeal in the Provinoofl of New Brunswick and Ontario ; but the injuries he received in earlier Ber- vices induced premature debiUty, and for several years he was un- able to engage in the work of preaching the Gospel. During tlieso years of constrained inactivity he exhibited the patience the Gospel enjoins, and enjoyed the consolation it imparts ; and when the sum- mons came he gladly welcomed the call to go away and to bo with Christ. , .• •, , . HEV. C. e. STEWART, M.A. ' rt' ; By the death of the Rev. Colin Campbell Stewart, M.A., this Church has lost one of its most efficient ministers. A native of Nova Scotia, Mr. Stewart received his earlier education in that Province. His literary training was begun in Dalhousio College, and completed at the University of McGill, where he gi'aduated with high honours. He was Logan Gold Medallist in Natural Sciences, and gained high distinction as a Hebrew Scholar. Ho afterwards entered the Presbyterian College in Montreal, where his career as a student of Theology was no less distinguished. In Sep- tember, 1870, he was ordained and inducted into the pastoral charge of the congregation of Owen Soiind, and at once entered upon his duties with great earnestness. Amid the pressure of pastoral and Presbyterial work, he found time to contribute liberally to the reH- giouB Press, and to prepare and publish a valuable work on Church Government, which has received high encomiums on both sides of the Atlantic. Biit the holy ambition of our young brother, and tlie Church's hopes regarding him were destined to early disappoint- ment. His sun went down at noon, but the bright memories of his brief career remain to stimulate his brethren to imitate his zeal and diligence, and live, as he did, in constant preparation for the Master's coming. Caimn, Rev. J., M.D. Wf' i Milne, Rev. A., M.A. CAIRNS, REV. J., M.D. *■ -J ,-t... Dr. Cairns was a native of Scotland. He studied Medicine at Edinburgh and Paris, and came to Canada, where he studied The- ology lander the instructions of the late Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of Rich- mond Hill. After a short pastorate in the congregation of Albion and King, where he was ordained a minister, the remainder of his life was spent in missionary work in various parts of the United States and Canada. He was remarkably conscientious in testify- ing against prevailing errors, as well as faithful in preaching the Gospel of Christ, in whose service ho endured many hardships and privations. MILNE, REV. ANDREW, M.A. The Rev. Andrew Milne, M.A., was a graduate in Arts of Victoria University, Cobourg, and in Theology of Knox College, Toronto. He was pastor, successively, of the congregations of Beamsville, and of Waterdown and* WeUington Square, and laboured with much fidelity and acceptance. Failing health neces- sitated his withdrawal for a season from the active work of the Holy Ministry. But afterwards, returning to tho preaching of the Word, he laboured for a short time in the congregation of Ham- [878] Mtr/ZI 1875.] THE CANADA PRESBYTERIAN OilUBCH. * 48 11 withdrawn. mond, in tlie United StnteB.

W. Cochrane, M.A., are deserving of special notice and recognition, since his name will be indehbly associated with tlie Home Mission caiise of our Church, m largely contributing to its present prosperity, and that in view of the outlay incurred by him in attending to the business of Home Missions, and in paying for the necessary assistance, the gi-ant of two hundred dollars, made for that purpose at the last annual meet- ing of the Supreme Court, be renewed ; and further, that the eflfi- cient aid afforded for some years by the Rev.

That tlie two proposals made by tho Colonial Committee of Colonial tho P'ree Church, in regard to tlxe employment of Catechists and po^iao?*" Evangelists, and the engagement of J:*robatiouers for three years, under certain conditions, are entitled to careful consideration, but they cannot bo satisfactorily dealt with until after the consumma - tion of the Union.

That the consideration of tho resolutions of tho Committe" ^ -ntral respecting the conducting of Homo Mission operations by means of S°i'^u^fon " a Central Committee, be deferred until after the Union. deferred. 8. That the importance of training the young of our Chmch to Juvenile contribute regularly to Missions, and imbuing them in early life Aasocia- with a deep and growing interest in the Missionary work, cannot be two highly estimated, and that the formation of Juvenile Missionary Associations under proper restrictions, is commended as worthy of general adoption. 9. That the attention of the Church generally, and especially Special hin- of Presbyteries, be called to the evils specified in the Report, arising drances, from the lack of men and means, and the meagreuess of the supply fm-nished to the stations during the winter, that efforts be at once put forth to wipe out the debt on the Fund, and that, for this pur- poso, the congregations which have not already taken up a special collection for this object, be enjoined to do so with the least possible delay. 10. That fervent gratitude is due to the Great Head of the Church Gratitude, for the progress and prosperity with which He has blessed our Home Mission operations, and tho earnest hope expressed that in the future, under new and favourable circumstances. He may so permeate the whole Chm'ch with a Missionary spirit, that the glory of our Ziou shall continue to be our Missions, Home and Foreign. SYSTEMATIC IJENEVOLENCE.

DISSENT — REASONS OF MR. J. ROSS ET AL. Mr. John Boss, for himself and those joining with him, read reasons of dissent from the resolution adopted last night on the subject of Union. On motion of Prof. McLaren, seconded by Mr. W. B. Clark, the Assembly received the reasons of dissent, and ordered them to be inserted in the minutes, but declaring at the same tune that the Assembly did not accept the interpretation put by Mr. Ross on the Preamble and Basis of Union, and the resolutions connected there- with. The reasons of dissent read by Mr. Ross are as follows : — 'i 'i :ft J il'i .-,_ ■,>•...,.• K.. v.. ;-,.;. .r'V.;' ■/■,.,'>; DISSENT. ■■'■,,'' ^^ ;:,:'• ■■■./:■;.;",■ f- .■;"■..--;- " Whereas the General Assembly has resolved and recorded its resolution to repair forthwith as a Constituted Assembly to the Victoria Hall, for the purpose of consummating the Union with the other negotiating Churches, and has declared that the United Church should be considered identical with the Canada Presbyte- rian Church, and shall possess the same authority, rights, privileges, and benefits to which tliis Church is now entitled, and has, more- over, empowered the Moderator to sign in its name the Preamble and Basis of Union, and also the Resolutions adopted in connection therewith, and thus to ratify the Act of Union, And whereas there are found in said Basis and Resolutions matters which cannot, in our view, be sanctioned by this Church without betraying the integrity and interests of the truth of God and the purity of His worship : We, therefore, crave leave to enter our dissent, in our own name, and in behalf of all who may adhere to us, and do declare and testify that we are neither bomid by, nor responsible for, the Act herein complained of; and offer the following good and sufficient reasons, with others of a like kind heretofore given in, as the grounds of our dissent, viz. : — 1. Because of the resolution regarding modes of worship, we cannot enter into the Union without pledging ourselves, for all time to come, to allow the Organ in all congregations now following that mode of celebrating the praises of God in public worship ; and to allow in Uke manner all other practices as to modes of worship presently followed by congregations, irrespective of the agreement or disagreement of such modes of worship with our views of what the Word of God and the Standards of the Church require. 2. Because saiS Basis does not recognize, as our present Basis does, the Larger and Shorter Catechisms as parts of the Standards of the Church, but assigns to them only a place of secondary impor- tance, which cannot fail to deprive them of much of the weiglit which, for many generations past, they have most justly possessed [888] 1875.] THE CANADA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 68 in the eyes of the Church. Taking into consideration the uncjues- tioued and generally acknowledged influence which these symbols of our faith have, through the blessing of God, exercised upon the moral and doctrinal tone of the Church, as also on her spiritual life, and taking also into consideration with this a manifest rest- lessnoss on the part of the present generation, with a strong tendency to depart from the ancient landmarks by which the Church has hitherto been guided — the change thus effected cannot, seeing that • there has been no just reason assigned for it, be viewed otherwise than as unwarranted, and dangerous to the spiritual prosperity of the Church. 3. Because by the decision now come to, the Church enters into Union upon a basis which'is exceedingly defective and unsatis- factory in reference to the main question, viz., the Headship of Christ, both as regards His Church and the nations of the world. As regards the former, namely. His Headship over the Church — First, it is entirely omitted from the body of the Baals, where its Bupreme importance entitles it to be, and is only met with inci- * dentally in the Preamble, without any apparent intention. This is the more remarkable when it is remembered that the Headship of Christ, in certain of its more immediate applications, was the main question at issue between the negotiating parties. Secondly, the Preamble of the Basis represents this Church as holding the same doctrine, government, and discipUne with the Church of Scotland, and consequently as holding the doctrine of the Head- ship in the same sense and view in which it has been held by her, that is, the Church of Scotland, throughout the whole period since the disruption in Scotland. We thus profess ourselves to have oome to hold the doctrine in the same way in which the Church of Scotland holds it, and, consequently, to have abandoned our former view of it, wliich is known, all the world over, to have been totally different fi-om the view held and acted on by her. Again, as con- cerning anything definite concerning Clirist's Headship over the nations, it may be said that it is now dropped altogether ; and this is the more noticeable when it is remomborcd what importance was attached to it in forming the existing Union. Moreover, the terms in which the subordinate standards are qualified in the Basis now adopted render their teaching on this subject to be of uncertain authority.

CANADA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,. FOB 1874-76. The Home Mission Committee in presenting to the G^eral Asaeuilly th<3n' Aunna] Report congratulate the Church at large on the inoreased interest that is taken in this important scheme, and the many new and important fielc]^ that have been entefed dnrinK the past year. They regret, however, that the contri- butions to the fund are still so inadequate to meet tho culls that are mad? upon them, although the Committee have endeavored in every legitimate way to bring the claims of Home Missions before onr people. From the tables eiigvC'S--ed in this Beport, it will be seen that nine Presbyteries have increased their C'lntiibu- tions during the year, and ten have decreased. It will also be seen that the grants have been increased during the year to fifteen of the Presbyteries of the Church, in addition, to which there has been expended $1259.55 more thnii last year on the Lake Superior stations. Your Committee so far from regretting the larger demands made aponthe funds by these Presbyteries, rather rejoice in the evidence thus a£rorded that Providence is opening up for us so many tielJei oi usefulness. They cannot, however, bat very deeply regret that in many Presby- teries the contributions are so far below what might be expected of them, and vhat the claims of the scheme demand. In a Church possessing a membership of over 50,000, there should be no diihculty in raising a sum not only sufticlent to meet all existing liabilities, but such as to warrant ns in prosecuting otir work without the constant fear of an annual deficit. The following tables show the amounts received from the different Pre ^by- teriee, from Sabbath Schools, and by donations kindly given by the Irish Presbyterian Church, the Free Church of Scotland, and other friends ; and. also the sums appropriated to the several Preebyteries for 1874-'75, as contrasted with the year 1673.'74. m TV TABULAR STATEMENTS. i Amotinte contributed by the Mreral Pre.sby terieH of tkt ChnreH aad ether so mrc* for the yea* 1874-76. * '-^ "y ^ — Amodkt Comtbibuted. iHOmiABl.

Nanaimo. Yonr Committee are happy to announce that in accordance with the instmo- tiODB of the Assembly, and after many unsnccessful attempts and repeated calls apon ministers and probationers of our Church to go to Nanaimo, a missionary has at last been found, in the person of Mr. Alexander Stewart, of the graduating class of Knox College. Mr. Stewart was under engagement to do missionary work in the Simcoe Presbytery, when the attention of the Committee was directed towards him. The representative of that Presbytery, however, in view of the nrgent call for an immediate appointment, at once relinquished his claim upon Mr. Stewart, with a view to his acceptance of the appointment to Nanaimo. The Btipend promised to Mr. Stewart is ^1200 and travelling expenses to his field of labour. A considerable portion of this amount is expected from the people of Nanaimo. Mr. Jamieson states that the place has increased in population very mnoh of late, and that a larger congregation can now be gathered there than in New Westminster. - -' ' ■ '■#'' ' ' ' ' . "■ The prospect of a railway to and through that Jiistant Province at an early date, carrying with it of necessity a large influx of population, makes it impara- tive upon our Church to recruit its missionary Bta£C at the earliest possible moment. At present date the only Presbyterian ministers in the field are Mr. McGregor, of the Cbnrcb of Scotland, and our own representative, Mr. Jamieson. Mr. McGregor is at present in Scotland endeavoring to awaken an interest in British Columbia, and secure both men and means. Should he be successful, it is very likely a Presbytery will be formed in couneotion, we may hope, with the Presbyterian Cbarch of our Dominion. MANITOBA. ^{ff Our cause in lUanitoba has prospered during the year, although from various oanses your Comiiittee have not been able to occupy many places, which demand immediate supply of ordinances, and where the Presbyterian element is compara- tively strong. Dr. Clarke, of the Church of Scotland, who assisted our Presbytery in mission work, has ceased his connection with the Presbyterian Church, and Mr. Fraser, one of our Gatechists, has been laid aside by sickness. Mr. McEellar, who, along with Mr. Currie, went out last summer, under the auspices of the Students' Missionary Society, to labour in Manitoba, has been ordained as oussionary to the Saskatchewan, in room of the late lamented Mr. Kisbet, and reached his field last November. This action was taken by the Presbytery of Manitoba in the interest of the Church at large. However much your Committee regretted the loss of Mr. McEellar, and the inconvenience that attended the ixa&Bler of his services to the Foreign Mission Committee, it appeared that BOtbiog else conld be done in the cirotuustances, if onr caase was to be main- tained in the Sabkatohewan. Mr. MoEellar has written yoirr Comtoittee at great length regarding the claims of that field npon the liberality of the Chnrch, bat these matters will come before the Assembly throagh the Foreign Mission Committee. The Bev. Mr. Bobertson, who accepted the call to Knox Chorch, Winnipeg, has been inducted minister of that important charge, with most gratifying results ; and Professors Bryce and Hart, in addition to college duties, render valuable aid to our mission statious. From the report of the Home Mission Committee of the Presbytery of Manitoba, we select the following details : " During the past year, the Committee for the more efficient working of the mission stations placed all the preaching stations under the care of some missionary or member of Presbytery, making said Superintendent responsible for the visita- tion, dispensation of ordinances, financial returns, &c., of the Station. This is found to be advantageous, and the mission stations are in as reasonable a state of progress as could be expected under the circumstances. " The Committee has no desire to dwell nnnecesearily on the various dis- couraging circumstances that have beset our new settlements, but it would be unjust to omit all reference to these. An expensive journey to this Province, and the expensive outfit required to begin in never so humble a way, diminish the few hundr' ids or thousands with which the settler comes to this country. His first year must be an absolute outlay, his second year would give Viim a good beginning ; but unfortunately for two years the scourge of the grasshoppers has swept across the country, and hundreds of our new settlers are now very poor. Another year of the scourge will leave our agricultural settlers desperate. We hope and pray for a respite from the plague. To illustrate the effect of this upon our mission work : Last winter, one of our stations, Springfield, began a church, raised the frame and then left it till after harvest to complete it. The grasshoppers came, and the people are in such a state of uncertainty and diapiritedneas, that the Committee feels little disposition to urge them, knowing their circumstances. The same may be eaid of Bockwood, of the Boyne and of other etations. "Notwithstanding this, however, the Committee is of the opinion that almost all the mission stations are in a fair condition; our cause is being established, and the general position of our Church in the country is most encouraging, when compared with what it was in the year 1871. when Manitoba Presbytery reported for the first time. In 1871, there were about 196 Presbyterian families in Mani- toba altogether. As nearly as can be ascertained, the number of families and single men holding homesteads (who, of course, represent heads of families) is about 699. In 1871, there were 207 communicants ; in 1S74, there are 450. In both these cases, it is necessary to observe that there are scattered families, living in twos and threes all over the Pro\ince, which are not reported, antl who in many instances are known to be Presbyterians. In 1871, the amount raised in the Province for all purposes was about ftl,800, and in 1374— a dull year — 85,500, exclusive of what was raised for College purposes. In 1871, the amount exponded by the Home Mission Committee was $1,550, with nine mission stations ; in 1874, the amount expended is something over $4,000, with more than twenty mission Stations, taking no account of the College work done. Palestine. We had hoped to have bad Palestine, <&o., settled as a supplemented congre- gation. The Committee is aware of the declinature of Mr. Ferguson ; the feeling of annoyance of the Presbytery was considerable, after the liberal offer of Committee, to find the negotiations broken off, in consequence of a private 1- 10 eorrespondenoe between Mr. Ferguson and aome of the Palestine people, withont any reference to the Presbytery. The probability is that IVf r. Ferguson declined the call without fully, a'ter all, understanding the condition of the Palestine stations. , ^^ * ' i Portage La Prairie. The Portage group of stations had the moat discouragements to contend with of any of our stations. The Be7. Mr. Matheson was removed to Little Britain by the Presbytery ; and, as already stated, Portage La Prairie has been suffering and we are anxious as soon as possible to have it supplied. Could this group secure a minister it would not be long till they could support him. Burnside, belonging to this group, has very much increased in importance, and the people are there building a church. - •• Headingly. a :, iiVi:ir l:'"': K-i^ia As the Committee is aware,this station has long been a difficulty. Daring the past year, there seems to have been a revival of hope among the people. A con- siderable number of families of another church applied to receive service with our people and promised a fair amount of support ; the \ etitioners, along with the handful of people previously belonging to us asked tc be allowed to move the church one mile east. A committee has had the mat ..er in hand ; the people have subscribed §557, with a prospect of more ; they ey.pect to receive some ^300 for the church and we have promised them 9100 fro'u the McKay fund ; so that as soon as spring opens they will probably erect a church, value, $1,000. Head- ingly is somewhat important as being the nearest point in the old settlement to the new settlements of Boyne, Eeviere Sale and Pembina Mountain, and a large unsettled district. Little Britain. . -. -^^ ;. ;< - v, ... . ; ^:> Little Britain and its adjuncts have been under the care of Bev. Mr. Mathe- son, and there has been a considerable revival of interest in these stations. The handsome new stone church has been found much more commodious and con- venient, and at the present time the congregation is about double of what it pre- viously was. The congregation has struggled forward and have raised toward clearing off the debt during the past year ^750 ; they have also borrowed 91,000, which it wiU take a year or two to overcome. They have, nevertheless,'paid the greater part of the amount promised to their missionary. Manitoba College. >' '• The College work,as being supported by the Home Mission Committee, should also be adverted to, although a full report will be made by the Board as required to the Assembly. The present year has been a prosperous one for the College. It was feared by many that the removal of the College would for a year or two cause some falling off in attendance and interest. It has been otherwise. There have been 36 regular students on the College roll, and 12 occasional students, making a total of 48. The happy settlement of Knox Church, Winnipeg, has contributed greatly to the more regular and systematic working of the College; the classes have been regularly and vigorously maintained, and have shown good results. As the Committee is aware two students of the College entered the University of To- ronto at Senior Matriculation last September ; a number of the students of the GoUege have already gone into business, law — civil engineering and the like ; the IV Form this year consists of two good students, trained entirely by the College, and going on to the University of Toronto. The theological students, under the care of the College have been diligent and successful, and two of them giv« promise of being asefol and efiloient miniaters. u It is unnecessary to lay before the Assembly in detail the proposed location of additional missionaries that are •amestly songbt for Manitoba. In addition to the older settlementH mentioned in former reports, missionaries are needed for the Boyne and Pembina Mountain, Point de Chenes, Fort Francis, upon the Dawson route, where a village is springing np, and m.'>T)y houses were erected last summer, and Fort Pelly, the capital of the North-Wesi Territories. Professor Bryce and Mr. Robertson both urged the importance of our church ooonpying the last named point. As the Presbytery of Manitoba well says : " We are just beginning to realize the magnitude of our heritage as Canadians ; think of two points such as Fort Felly and Fort Francis, one 250 miles west of us, and the other as far to our east, calling at the same time for our attention. The Presby. tery has under its supervision stations over a region 600 miles from east to west and 100 miles from north to south. The work might stagger the bravest, but we trust, under God's blessing, a united church, alive to the pressing needs of our country, may be equal to the work." , f ■■ 1 I^^B ''V y , W: its'?! ■ iJ:.*;. ^^Hi •;-ir:-. Mjii 1 ^Bi' Your Committee have not been able to procure the number of missionaries needed at the present juncture for Manitoba. They are, however, happy to an- nounce that three additional laborers have left for that Province, namely: Mr. Glendinning, formerly settled at North Augusta, in the Presbytery of Brookville ; Mr. Bell, one of the last graduating class at Princeton ; and Mr, James Stewart, of the last class in Knox College. The latter is sent under tho auspices of the Students' Missionary Society. - , .-- 'U' ,.'ufij; •-" I ' >T '1 ' >*, -r ' o 09 o S o n It ^i '>A .

Mane by Mr. Eay ; Silver Islet by Mr. Caswell ; and Prinoe Arthur's Landing and Fort William by Mr. MoEerracber. On aoooant of church building and other local claims upon the adherents of our Church in these places, the stations have not been able to contribute either for the support of ordinances, or towards the schemes of the church, as may reasonably be ex> pected of them in tho future. Tour Committee feel, however, that a great step bos been taken towards the permanent establishment of the Presbyterian cause in tbeso localities bjr regular ministrations, both summer and winter. Sault Ste. Marie. Mr. Eay writes that Sault Ste. Marie is growing and is likely to become a place of importance. It is a favorite resort of tourists in summer, who come from all parts of Canada and the United States. It is expected that business during the present summer will be brisk, in view of which several important buildings are in process of erection. The Roman Catholics are erecting a largo Cathedral, and the Episcopalians have commenced a fine residence for the Bishop of Algoma. The members and adherents of our own church have resolved on erecting a neat and BufiSciently commodious j^ace of worship, hoping to be liberally assisted by their brethren throughout the Dominion. A liberal-heafted gentleman — a resident of the place, but not at all connected with the congregation — has very generously made a present of a line site for a otinrch, at the head of a street leading down to the river, a position similar to that which our new College occupies with respect to Toronto Bay. This gift is made on condition that a neat church is erected upon it by December next. They feel, therefore, that now is their opportunity to establish our cause there. The people have subscribed liberally to this object according to their number and means ; but the larger portion of the funds requisite must come from the members of our church in Ontario and Quebec. Mr, Kay adds : We do not aim at a grand or costly building ; yet, as any building is comparatively costly in this remote region, I hnve no doubt we will need all the aid we can procure. If sufficient money could be raised to erect a manse also, it would greatly add to the inducements for a minister to settle here in future. A chiurch, however, is all we aim at in the meantime ; and we trust that God will so bless our efforts, and that they will be so liberally seconded by our brethren throughout Canada, that we shall be able to erect beloro next winter a building that shall not disgrace the Presby- terian name. Silver Islet. Our cause in Silver Islet is exceedingly hopeful. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed last October to the members of our church, when Mr. Cas- well was assisted by Mr. McKerracher, of tho Lauding. This was, our missionary states, the first communion season in connection with the Presbyterian Church on the North shore of Lake Superior, and is therefore deserving of special notice. The Mining Company at Silver Islet in February last notified their employees that on account of scarcity of money in hand, they would cease to pay more than five dollars a month to each worker, until the month of June. This, as can easily be seen, has been felt in the finances of our church. Mr. Caswell, however, states that when cash becomes plenty again, all will be paid. The attendance on public worship is good, and a Bible Class, taught every Monday evening, attracts a con- siderable number of the younger adherents of our Church. Prince Arthur's Landing, ~"' " " T ' "T : V . Mr. McEerracher, in his last commuaicaticn, says: *' Our lecture room, which U": 17 will seat 120, was opened for pablio worship on the last Sabbath of the year. Binoe that time I have preached three times each Sabbath ; at Prince Arthur's Landing at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m., and at Fort William at 3 p. m. The attendance at the morning service averages from forty to fifty, and in the evening is about peventy," In addition to these services, a Sabbath School is kept up at Fort William, abont one half of the children that attend being Indian half-breeds. Prayer meetings are also regularly held at the Landing, and occasionally at Fort William. Your Committee are happy to state that by the efforts of the people themselves, and the money collected last summer in Toronto and elsewhere by Mr. McKerraobert the building is free from debt. Mission Work in Presbyteries During the Year, ■* Pbebbyteb'Z of Hamilton. In the Presbytery of Hamilton, besides having during the year obtained happy settlements in Waterdown, Kilbride and Flamboro', the charge of St. John's Church, Hamilton, has been organized, and is now a self-sustaining congregation, with a settled pastor. The united congregations of Pelham, Welland, etc., have been divided into two charges ; one, Pelham and Port Robinson, under the care of Rev. W. Hancock, the former pastor, and the other a self-sustaining charge, looking for immediate settlement. The mission stations at Fort Erie and Ridge- way progress slowly and would be much benefitted by the prolonged residence of a missionaiy among them. Steps have also been taken to open a new mission at Delhi, in South Norfolk. A missionary has been sent to Port Dalhousie, with the prospect of being able, in duo time, to eatabUiih a chaigo there. PaESBTTEBTt OF GuKLPH. The Presbytery of Guelph have resumed thek missionary operations in Preston and New Hamburg and their neighborhoods, with encouraging prospects of success. A large Committee has been appointed to take choi-ge of tixe work, and have canvassed both distiicts and ascertained the number of families who are likely to attend, and the amount they are prepared to pay for such supply of sermons as may be procured for them. Some members of the Presbytery have contributed $10 each, and an appeal has been made to the Sabbath Schools in the bounds, from which an average contribution of ?5 is expected. By these efforts it is anticipated that $400 will be realized, and the Committee has, on ap- pUcation, promised $200, so that the income of the missionaiy may be $600. The same Presbytery has broken up new ground in the Township of Amaranth, into which a large number of families have entered, several of whom were without the public ordinances of religion. Through private liberality the Presbytery were able to send one of their members into that field for some weeks in summer, who, after exploring as fully as he could, returned with cheering accounts. In January, by aid fi-om the same source, one of the Probationers labored in it for about a fortnight. Eucoui-aged by these reports the Presbytery resolved to proceed with their work, and the Committee have promised them any reasonable amount of help from the funds at their disposal in the prosecution of it. .r^f.HU.:.jlK"ir; PBeSBYTBBY OF TOBONTO. Most of the stations in this Presbytery have received an almost continuous supply during the year. Mount Vivian and Albert are hopeful. In Aurora and Newmarket the past year has been one of much importance to the Presbyterian cause in these villages and the surrounding district. In Aurora the congregation has been thoroughly consolidated and worships in a commodious brick church, and in Newmarket an equally commodious building has recently been opened for service. The cost of the latter building is $4,000, of which a large s'um has been oontribnted by the people themselvea. The good effect of a commodious 18 church conveniently sitimtcil, in incrensing the general attendance and member- ship has been happily illastrated in this case. At the last communion nenaon S8 were added to the church — 23 of them on profession of faith. Efficiently tan|;ht and well attended Sabbath Schools aro conducted in Aurora and Now- nuurket, Mr. D. Fotheringham having aided Mr. Bruce in all these enterpriseR. Mnoh of this gratifying BuccesB is duo to the self-denying and zealous lalwrs of Mr. iBniae. He has labored for years in this field with great carnostnesB and viadom and has receivotl his reward in the establishment of two efficient con- gregations. The group of stations comprising Mono Mills, Caledon and Sandbill, have suffered on account of irregular supply, but on the whole are doing well. At Alton and Galedon West a church has been erected during the year at a cost of 91,500. Mulmer and Melancthon give propiise of becoming a strong cause, when settled with a. pastor. At Queensville steps are being taken to erect a church, and to have the congiegation regularly organized. College Street, Toronto, has made very marked progress during the year. At the date of last r.poi L it was unorganized and coinpavatively fooblo. Mr. Fisher labored in it dming the sum- mer with much diligence and acceptance. The congregation was organized in May. In November a call was given to Mr. GiUay which was accepted, and the result is all that could possibly have been expected. The membership is already loo, and it is evident that increased church accommodation will be necessary before very long. Sabbath evening service, with Sabbath School instruction, is maintained in the Duchess Street Mission by Knox Church ; in Davenport by Charles Street Church ; Sabbath Schools oi-e maintained in Sherbourno Street and Caor Howel Street by Gould Street Church, and in Elizabeth Street by Cooke's Church. These movements are all attended with a gratifying amount of fiuccess. ^ , . , ■ ' :. ', ,■: , . ,:■•.., •• ■ ,■ ■..<-.' .i..i>. •, -., Your Committee regret that they cannot embody at length the most satisfac- tory and comprehensive report presented to the Toronto Presbj'tery at its last meeting by Mr. King. It shows the progress of Presbyterinnism in and around the city since 1864. The combined membership of the four new oougregations — West Church, College Street Church, Chailes Street and the East Church — is to-day not much less than that of the four old congregations at the time of the nnion, while these, so far from being weakened, are very much stronger than they were previous to the formation of the new charges. The increased contributions for Home Missions is also worthy of notice. In 1864 the total amount received from the Toronto Presbytery wa3?176; now, 83,130; and at that date fi'P*^ To- ronto itself, ?133, as against ?2,183 for tJie present year. .' ^ . _,. . , EMaaXtSBY. OF SiMCOE. • '• ■ The Mission fields in the Simcoe Presbytery are progressing favorably. Men- tion is sjjocially made of Grenfel and Muiiseing, which were organized only last year. The attendance has been very good, and steps are already taken for the erection of a church at Grenfel. Duiing the summer all the stations put on a prosperous appearance. Last siunmer there was good work done. But the old story must be repeated. Summer gains aro all or nearly all lost by winter neglect. The loss sustained through lack of ordained missionaries and regular supplies is incalculable. Gravenhurst, Washago and the Severn, were served last year by the Church of Scotland. Two of their missionaries were in the field for some time and did excellent service. Through their efforts a comfortable and commodious church has been erected at Washago, which is almost entirely clear of debt. In the Muskoka District there are several new openings. We have organized me new field for this summer. But the people are vary poor, and coueequeutly the I support must come mainly from the Central Fund. ■'.--. f I/- i : . ,. .■ ■;--■]■ •;.■•■_.•■•■■-■.' ->.iit) , 19 FUBBTTBRT OF OTTAWA. The Home Misainn Fields within the bouuds of the Ottawa Presbytory at the present time ore fourteen, and if we inoladetbo French MiRsion Station at tbe Six Portages on the Gatineau River, wronght by the French Evaugelizatiou Com- mittee, and the French Pi'oteHtant Cliurcb organizod in the City of Ottawa, duricg the past winter, we shall have sixteen Mission Fields. In the present sketch we attempt nothing more than brief notes on the- ex- tent, the work done or to be done in these fields. Beginuining with those lying north of the city of Ottawa, wo have, at a point about one hundred miloa distant from the city, at the confluence of the livtiB Gatineau and DeHort, the Desert Mission Field, wrought at tho present time, and diuiug the past two sumraers by the Students' Missionary Society of tho Presby- terian Collogo, Montreal. Tbo Desert Village is inhabited almost exclusively by a French speaking popa- iation, but there are also in the neighborhood a uuiiii)er of English speaking families. There is a tract of pretty good land here set apart as an Indian Ko- serve, and on which a few Indians have settleil, for numbers of thum ,. Lo To not like a field habitation, tho village forms a place of rcndo5:vons. Here also are three depots in connection with lumbering operations, and also a post of the Hudson Bay Company. In tho course of tho year hirge numbers of men pass through this village on their way to or from the shanties. They sometimes re- main nnd at other times fire detained over Sabbath at tho Desert. Could sonicos be held here the year round on Sabbaths, niimbers would avail themselves of them who otherwise would very seldom hear the Gospel. This gives tho missionary who may labor in this or similarly useful fields in tho Ottawa Valley opportu- nities of iisefulnees not enjoyed in districts whoso population arc more given to agricultural pursuits. There are at tho present time six members in full commimion with our church here and during the past winter the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed for the first lime at the Desert by the Session of Aylwiu. A new church has been erected at tho Desert during tho past year at a cost of six or seven hundred dollars. The missionary at the Desert gave occasional services to the English speaking population at the Six Portages, 17 miles down the river, where a French student missionary was engaged in teaching school, and in communicating roligioua in- struction to oil whom he could reach. During tho time that mi.-siouaries have been in this field many interesting inter^^ew8 have been held wirh those wLo have not yet seen it to be their duty to separate from the Church of Rome. It is the day of small things on this Upper Gatineau Field, but we are not on account of the small things to despise the day. South of the Six Portages about 25 miles U situated the Aylwin Misskn Field. This section of country is inhabited by a population whose attention is divided between the pursuit of agriculture and that of lumbering. Tho kind of habits that such a manner of life leads to the formation uf, h nut conducivt' to the growth of either personal or family religion. They may, as they often do, have their attention arrested by a consideration of th« great interests of eternity during the siimmer time, but under the chilling infiuences of shanty life, the gain of the summer seems to be all but gone, ere they return to their homes in the spring. It requires a religious life of no ordinary depth and vigor to withstand those unfavorable iufiuences that are too frequently met with in tho shanty.; 20 The Aylwin Miwuion Field has four atatious; tbo two principal of which are Aylwin aud the Pickauuck. During tbo past year this field has made gruat progress uudor Mr. Magiiiro, v/bo id now ln(!nted in the tiuld, aa ordained misHionurv. As o result uf his labors, under tlio bl<'K8iug of tbo Lord, twouty persons Lave been received into Church FuUowsliip during tbo past year, while in tompural tbiugs there is an ciiufvlly grcixt fidvancrmf ut. The money raised f jr the support of ordiuanoet* during the past year has boon more than double that of any former ycoi- of thuii ciistence as a congregation or mission field. , Tnriiing our attention now to the Upper Ottawa, at a distance of about 150 miles above Ottawa City, wo have the oommencemont of the Upper Ottawa Mis- sion Field. Hero Mr. ^Iark TurnbuU has labored as ordained missionary for the past year. The settlors on both sides of the Ottawa River, comprising about sisty i'aiuilies, received ids attention dmiug the summer, whilst he has visited a number of sbantioH duriuj^- tbo winter. In sjiite of the difficulty of travelbng during the past winter, tbo dcprcased state of the lumber bueiuuss — making the number of ubautics to bo \-isited less iu a wide district — aud an attack of illness towards the beginning of Miucb, he was enabled to visit 20 shautios, C depots or farms, and to distribute 50 pfivcois of tracts, &c., supplied by the Bev. D. M. Gordon, of Ottawa, Treasurer to the Lumbermen's Mission iu connection with the Church of Scotland. Alice and Pettawawa, a mission field in tbo neighborhool of Pembroke, wrought for tbo first time by a student missionary kst summer, has given evidence of unusual vitality. After enjoying the sernoes of Mr. D. McCrac for the summer, it has comu a\) to the pobitiuu of guaranteeing four hundred dollars for the support of an ordained iaiHsi'bich appeared last August in the Free Cburch Monthly Record. The wruer is now a member of the Toronto Presbytery. He says : "I, il ■:J: "" '-4 r « < ■•».-' u Lv. " My immediate object in writing this letter is, to enconrago worthy proba* tioDers of the Free Church of Scotland to cross the ocean ana venture themselves on the soil of this yoang and prosperous Dominion. I suppose it would be conceded by ministers at home who have been successful in gaining a position in the Church, that there are many others whose talents and endowments are of such an order as to qualify them for spheres of usefulness just as effectively as the few who get them. And, considering the number of probationers upon the roll, it is only just and reasonable td cohcldde that, to say the very least, there are always some whose character and calibre entitle them to the indulgence of a hope, which, however, is only cherished to be baffled and disappointed. A few have, I know, at once offered themselves for the colonial without any practical knowledge of the home field ; and hoW much more wisely do they act than they who, notwithstanding repeated failures, still persistently cling to a purpose which is only likely to bring them to greater grief. A little experience has taught me thai Canada is a moat promising field for our probationers. Merit, wherever it is found, will mee(i with an acknowledgment and encouragement in Canada which it would by nc means necessarily insure at home ; and places of high importanov here might be held by those who now occupy no sphere at all, or but a subor^i'^ n*»te one. Doubtless there are advantages the emigrant must leave behind. Bat the advantages are not altogether on the side of Britain even now ; and evesty- year brings with it increased improvement and prosperity to this colony. Tbh ignorance which has so long existed respecting Can'vda is happily being dispelled:; and it is desirable that efficient labourers ohould betake themselves to a country,' the vastness of which no one can realize who has not travelled in it, and the' spiritual destitntiou of which is accordingly very great." - _..,.. . i! :':■!. ■i:<; .ti Hii-:. -j'-.^Tii ''li'j ,t ;'.";;• ;..., y;! ;/:(• '.''"> . 1 «:« ■■■[■! r V- r, .■ ■■': ! ; i r^-ij-r-i : ■, ! ?<■;,■)":! . :vf d n\ '^1 i'!-! Jt REPOET OF KNOX COLLEGE STUDENTS' MISSIONARY SOCIETY. i This Society is composed of all the students connected with Euox Col- lege, who are studying with a view to the ministry of the Canada Presbyterian Church. Its object is to supply the means of grace to the more neglected por- tions of Canada, and in furtherance of that object it sends Missionaries during the summer months to those neoessitous districts, which the regular organization of the church is least able to overtake. The expenses connected with the work of the Society are defrayed by means of voluntary contributions collected by its members in their respective fields of labor, and from other friends of the Society. Twelve missionaries were sent to vorious fields, two of these, from the graduating class, laboring in Manitoba. The Society is greatly euoouraged from time to time by finding that its fields become so far self-supporting as to take their proper position among the regular stations of the various Presbyteries. Another field this year has reached that condition. The reports from all the fields are very en- couraging, but owing to many of them depending to a large extent on the lumber trade for pecuniary aid, and this business being dull for the past year, they have not been able to contribute as liberally as formerly to the funds of the society. This, although checking the operations of the Society somewhat, will not, thx'ough the kindness of its many friends, cripple its work in fields ahead} opened up. ■ ■ • j "' Mission Fields — Summer of 1874. 1, — Waubabhene, Port Severn and Stdroeon Bay. This mission, which has been carried on for a number of years, is in the centre of an extensive lumbering trade. The proprietors of the mills and thek agents have always given our missionaries a warm, helping hand and generous support. The Company have tangibly manifested their anxiety for missionary services by building churches at Waubashene and Port Severn. Interesting Sab- bath Schools were carried on at each of the stations. Services were held every Sabbath at Waubashene and Port Severn. Attendance at the former forty, at the latter thirty. Services were held every fortnight at Sturgeon Bay. Attendance fifteen. On Sabbath, Oct. 4th, the Bev. Mr. Moodie, of Stayner, dispensed the Lord's supper to five communicants at Waubashene and seven at Port Sevorn, and baptized three children at the former station, and one at the latter. Sdbsoriptions:— Waubashene, $50.80; Port Severn, $35.00; Sturgeon Bay, $20.50 ; G. B. L. Co., $90.00. Total, $196.30. 2. — Tay akd Medonte. There are three stations in this field — Medonte, Russel's Settlement and Vic- toria Harbor. Regular Sabbath ser\ices were I'^ld at the first two, and fort- nightly services at the other. At Medonte, in addition to the Orange Hall, which was purchased and comfortably fitted up in 1873, a very commodious shed was btiilt this summer. The attendance averaged about 100; number of families, twenty ; membership, thiity-seven. At the Sacrament, dispensed by the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, on Stept. Ist, seven new members were added to the Church. At Russel Settlement, the church commenced in 1873 was completed and neatly finished. Attendance: ninety ; number of families, thirteen ; members, twenty. They have also a good Sabbath School and fine congi-egational library. Five members were added to the Church when the Rev. Mr. Ferguson dispensed the Sacrament, Sept. 1st. At the thii'd station, Victoria Harbor, on Georgian Bay, the prospects are not 80 encouraging as in 1873, owing to the dulness in the lumber trade, which has compelled some of the families to leave the place. The whole number of church members in these three stations is fifty-nine. They are now handed over to the Presbytery. Contributions, ^104.33. 3. — Pahry Sound District. This is a vei7 interesting and extensive field. The missionary held servicer at no less than nine stations. The Presbytery of Owen Sound is endeavoring to get an ordained missionary permanently settled at Parry Sound village. Tliis vil- lage is rapidly growing in importance, and one railroad, if not more, is likely to pass through it. Attendance, 50. Blair Settlement, mostly Presbyterian, gave an attendance of thirty-five. A settlement in Foley Towiiship was also visiteil. At the Narrows of Whitustone Lake, thirty miles from Parry Sound, the attendance was fifty. Hagerman is six miles from this. Attendance twenty. At Munson's Settlement the attendance was twenty-five ; McKellar Falls, thirty.seven. Mani- tawaba Dam, forty. In this last place a Sabbath School was organized. At the Junction, nine miles north of Parry Sound two services were held. Attendance twenty and thirty respectively. Contributions, $133.35. , , _, ,, ,, , . . , 4. — Manitoclin Island. This island is being rapidly settled and rising into importance. Some Indians, chiefly Roman Catholics, are settled on the Reserves in the island. Society divided the field into two groups, and sent a missionary to each. 1,500 The Grodp 1 — South Side. — Hero the missionary conducted services at six stations, holding fortnightly services at three of them, and monthly services at the other thi'ee. Manito waning Village has from eight to ten bouses, and at the fort- nightly services from twenty to forty-five were present. Presbyterian families, ten. Jones' settlement received monthly services. Attendance twenty to twenty- five. Presbyterian families, nii . At Fossil Hill services were held every two weeks. Attendance, fifteen to twuuty-five. Presbyterian families, ten. Monthly services were held at Green Burh and Providence Bay, with an attendance of from twenty to thirty each. Michael's Bay had fortnightly services. Attendance twenty to forty. There are about 100 Protest'aiil families in' this fi'ei3, of whom forty are Presbyterian. Before the missionary left the field the Rev. Duncan Cameron came up from the Bruce Presbytery, and dispensed the Lord's Supper to fom-teen com- municants, and baptized seven children and one adult. The Bruoe Presbytery is endeavoring to get an ordained missionary settled on the island. DuBBCBiPTioNs : — Green Bush, $11 ; Michael's Bay, 8151 ; Providence Bay, $14 ; Manitowaning Village, Jones' Settlement and Fossil Hill, $85. Total, $65. Group II — North Side. — Here the Missionary held fortnightly services at fotuf' stations, and held three services on a neighboring island for the Indians to about thirty of a congregation. Little Current is a "iUage of from fifteen to twenty' houses on the line of the steamboats to Lake Superior. Presbyterian families four. Attendance, twenty to sixty. The missionary helped to establish a temperance sd*' ciety here in connection with the I. O. G. T. Shegniandah is a settlement of twenty families, only one of which is Presbyterian. Attendance, twenty to forty- two. Gore Bay, to the north, is the most promising station. The land being good, about thirty families within two years have taken up lots, most of whom are Presbyterian. They have already built a school house, and perhaps next summer will commence a church. Attendance, thirty to fifty. Spanish River is on the mainland, north shore of Georgian Bay. The land is unfit for cultivation, and the inhabitants depend on the lumbering trade. Attendance, twenty to forty-five. Subscriptions :— Little Current and Shegniandah, $19.08 ; Gore Bay and Spanish River, $8.41. Total, $27.49. 5. — MuBKOKA District. t :r This is a large and necessitous field, which, owing to the Free Grant system, is being rapidly settled. Services were held principally at five stations. Turtle Lake is a prosperous settlement, eight miles from Eossoau Village. Attendance, twenty-eight ; Presbyterian families, eight. The Eev. Mr. Eodgers, of Collingwood, dispensed the Lord's Supper to eighteen communicants, and bap- tized two children. At Nipissing Junction the attendance was forty-one. Between these two stations there is a sottlement of about nine Presbyterian families, among whom two ser-vices were held. Attendance, twenty-four. Rosseau Village stands at the head of the lake, and is also the head of na'vigation. It is the most im- portant of all the stations, being one of the four great centres of the Muskoka District. Services were held chiefly on the steamer " Nipissing," kindly offered for that purpose. About $17 was realized by a tea-meeting towards building a chnrch, which the people hope to commence during the coming summer. Attend- ance, fifty ; Presbyterian families, nine. Mr. Rodgers dispensed the Lord's Supper to twenty communicants, and eight cliildren were baptized. Port Oarling, at the south end of the lake, is also moving in church building. Attendance, twenty- three ; Presbyterian famihes, four. Services were held in Frasei Settlement, about three miles east. Attendance, thirty ; Presbyterian families, five. The Sacra- ment was dispensed at Port Carling by the Rev. Mr. Mai-ples.of Bracebridge, when eight joined the Church, making a membership of twenty. Presbyterian families in connection with all the stations, thirty; membership, fifty-eight. _ ^ Subscriptions : — Turtle Lake, $8 ; Nipissing Jmiction and Rosseau Village, #18.85 ; Eraser Settlement, §8 ; Port Carling, $10. Total, 847.85, North Hastinqs. If. This field has been occupied by the Society former division into two groups was continued. for a number of years. The Group I. consists of five stations, at four of which fortnightly services were held ; the people were rejoiced to have a missionary among them once more. The attendance at Maynooth, forty to sixty ; Drayton's Sottlement, fifteen to twenty- five ; Fiss's Settlement, twenty to forty ; Kernigan Settlement, fifty to seventy ; and at Harconrt, thirty-five to forty-five. Occasional services were also held at Bartlett Settlement. Subscriptions — $50.46. Group II. consists of three stations. North and South school-houses in Car- low, and a station in Mayo. This is a most interesting and needy field, strongly Presbyterian, and if the projected railroad passes through it, will probably soon be self-sustaining. The attendance at the two Carlos Stations was, thirty-six to eighty-four, and forty-one to eighty-three rospecixvely. These stations have united in building a neat hewn-log church, situated between them. Very interesting Bible Classes wore conducted at each of these stations. Attendance, sixteen and twelve respectively. The station in Mayo is not so prosperous as could be wished, yet tlie missionary speaks hopefully of it. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dis- pensed in Carlow, by the Rev. Mr. Wishart, of Madoc. Subscriptions— $120.90. 7. — Leamington, Blytheswood AND Caupbkll'8 CoRNEBS. ■ .. This ia a new field for the Society, situated in the Coocty of Essex. It haa every prospect of soon becoming self-supporting. At Blytheswood there was aa attendance of eighty to ninety, with a flourishing Sabbath-School of thirty to forty scholars. The Bible Class and prayer-meeting held during the week, were both well attended. Presbyterian families, nine ; members, sixteen. The Lord's Sup- per was dispensed by the Rev. W. Fori'est to forty communicants. Campbell's Settlement is but a newly settled place, where the services were held in the school house. Attendance, seventy. At Leamington the services were held in the W. M. Chiuch. This is a thriving village, but there are only a few Presbytedans, and hence but a small attendance. SuBSCBiPTioNS :— Blytheswood, $58.54 ; Campbell's Settlement, 924.69; Lea- mington, «20.70. Total, 9103.93. 8. — Thcndeb Bay Mines. The missionary sent to these mines having a large extent of territoiy, was commissioned to find out where it was best to establish stations. He found that at Thunder Bay several changes had taken place since last year, some of the niines being deserted altogether, and others employing only a few men, hence he took up his headquarters on Isle Eoyal on the American side, where he spent most of his time. Here he had an attendance of thirty in the morning, and seventy in the afternoon. There was also a flourishing Sabbath School of '■.hirty-ffve scholars. At the weekly prayer-meeting ten attended. Besides this work occasional services were held at two mines near Prince Ai'thm's Landing, also on Thompson's Island, and Jarvis Island, and at Black Bay. The two latter are important places with encoiuraging prospects. SuBSEiPTioNS :— Isle Royal, gl86.30; Jarvis Island, S22. Tetal, ^203.30. !).— Manitoba. The Society extended its operations to the Manitoba Province, and sent two missionaries to that very necessitous field. This Province has special claims, ad it is being rapidly filled up by a class of settlers lai-gely Presbyterian. Both the missionaries urge strongly the wants of the field. At present the settlors are widely scattered, but owing to the richness of the soil, and the means of access becoming easier, the country is likely soon to be densely pojoulated. Hence the necessity of occupying the field at once, that the settlements may grow up under the influence of gospel privileges. Two groups of stations were taken up in this Province. Group I., Greenwood, Victoria and Rookwood. — These places have been but lately settled, and owing to various causes, chiefly the long distance between the settlers, the attendance was small, averaging fram ten to twenty each. The land, however, in the neighborhood, is nearly all taken up, and ^ill likely soon be settled. Owing to the grasshopper visitation, this group was unable to con- tribute anything to the funds of the society. Group II, White Mud District, consists of four stations : Palestine, Golden Stream, Woodside and Totogon. Successful Sabbath Schools were cairied ou in connection with all these stations. Palestine is the most impoi-taut of the group, and gav« an attendance of forty to sixty at the regular service. A weekly prayer meeting was conducted here alternately in Gaelic and English. The missionary also gave religious instruction to a class of children both here and at Woodside during the week. A most impressive sacramental service was conducted by the Bev. A. Eraser, of High Bluff, at which there were parties present from each of the other stations. The number of families here is twenty-one. At Golden 80 i« si Stream seven fftmilies are settled. Attendance, twenty to thirty. Nine families are settled at Woodside, only two of which are connected with the Church. At Totogon the attendance wan from fifteen to twenty-five. Snbscriptions, Palestine, $57; Golden Stream, 89 ; Woodside, »13 ; Totogon, 811. Total, «90. • ' ■ Summary. Thus the Society dming 1874 sent out twelve missionaries, occupied twelve fields, preached the Gospel at forty-nine regular stations, besides occasional services at many others. Its members feel grateful to Him who has made them the instruments of scattering the good seed far and wide in om' beloved laud. -p . Mission Work During Session 1874-5. ' The members of the Society continued the work in various parts of Toronto. Davenport mission still gives encouraging prospects.

One of the objects of this Society is to open mission stations and to cairy on mission work in localities not otherwise reached. During college session, its members preach, engage in tract distribution, <&c., within and outside of the city as opportunities present themselves ; and during the summer several of the members are sustaiixed in fields selected by the Society. The funds of the Society aie raised by its members, chiefly by collections in the fields occupied dming the summer.

The members of the Society take this oi^portunity of thanking the many friends who by thek contributions of money, books, papers, and otherwise, have aided them in the work of breaking up waste and untried ground ; and they beg leave to sohcit a continuance of that liberality for the future. They also take this opportunity of expressing their heartfelt gratitude to God who has hitherto blessed their humble efforts to make known his love. A. C. MORTON, Secretabt. D. MACRAE, President- Yonr Committee, at their meeting in April, passed the following resolutions, which they submit for the approval of the Assembly : That the concurrence of the committee should be seciwcd in the appoint- ment of ordained missionaries by Presbyteries, to fields in which an exceptionally large salary is offered, the larger portion of which has to be paid by the committee. That whenever the term of engagement of any missionary expires, the committee will not renew the engagement without the intervention of the Presbytery within whose bounds the missionary has been labouring. That hereafter no student from a Theological Seminary of another Church be put ni m the list of missionaries, until satisfactory certificates of college standing be laid bef6re this committee, ■'•■'' i m i 1 it In reference to the working of our Ohrrch the following waa also adopted. Home MisBiou Scheme in the United 1 i " It ia the opinion of this Committae, in view of their past experience in the working of tho miHaion's of the Church, and the rapid increase of that work in new and far distant locaUties which calls for ever incroasing liberality on all parts of the Church, that it is most desirable that tho United Church in conducting its Homo Mission operations, should aim at hanng the entire work of the Church in this department under the snpors-ision of a central committee ; and that it is possible to carry on that work on tlie same principles as those on which this Church has carried on its work since the union in 1861, although modifications in detail will undoubtedly be required." ,, , , , » . The great drawback tc success in the consolidation of charge? and the foster, ing of stations into self-sustaining congiegations is tho want of suitable men. The meagre winter supply acts most injuriously and renders everything like satisfactory progress impossible. The plan adopted by certain Presbyteries of having ordained missionaries settled in certain districts for a term of years, works well, and if more generally adopted, would very materially help our cause in several important localities. Constant Presbyterial oversight, also, and faithful dealings on the part of ministers with their congregations, would do much to deepen and extend an interest in the Home Mission work of our Church. Your Committee cannot close this report without repeating what they have frequently referred to, that the childi-en of our Sabbath Schoolf should be early interested in our mission work and taught to give from their earliest years. The Assembly of the American Chuixh, at its meeting last year, passed the following resolution bearing upon this subject, which might not be out of place for us to follow in our deliverance this year : ^'Resolved, That our Sessions and Sabbath. school superintendents be urged to keep continually before the children, in their families and classes, the great aubject of Missions, that the sense of responsibility may deepen with their matiurity and giow with their years ; that the grace of self-denial and tho habit of giving may become a constant part of their training ; that the purpose of their lives may become one with the purpose of God in r.aving the world ; and that, from the earliest moment of their intelligent thought, they shall bo meide to feel that they have a personal work to do for Jesus Christ." Finally, and in the words of Dr. Blaikie, the Convener of the Home Mission Board of the Free Church, the "Commi'.i.ee are very desirous to impress on ministers, elders and congregations generally the great importance of t king a pergonal interest in Home Mission work. Precious in its direct bearing'^'on the careless and godless, this work is not less precious in its quickening influ nee on all who throw their hearts into it. It makes a ciurent in congregations, ^removes stagnation and languor, and sends spiritual life-blood with new energy through souls. "There remaineth yet much land to be possessed;" but however many stations may be opened by this, or by similar committees, thegreat means of spreading the gospel among the careless must continue to bo personal effort on the part of Christians, each resolving — "For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth ac* brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."

M Your Cominittee would begin their Report by acknowledging the kindness of the Father of Mercies during another year ; and l^lessing His holy name for the succese he has granted to the minis- ters, elders, and other office-bearers of this Church in their labours, and for tlie tokens 'jf his good will that he has afforded to our beloved Zion. " Magnify tlie Lord with us, and let us exalt his name together." STATISTICS. • No Reports have been received by your Committees fi'om the following Congregations and Mission Stations : — In the Presbytery of Montreal, Nazareth Street Church aftd Stanley Street Church, Montreal, Alexandi'ia, and Konyon, have not reported ; Lingwick has reported its Financial Statement, but not its Statistics. Only three mission stations, two of these having ordained missionaries, have reported. In the Presbytery of Ottawa reports have been received from all but one congregation with settled pastors, and from three of six vacancies ; but there is no report from Ram.'ay, North Gower and Gloucester, except partial financial 8taten.ent ; Metcalf, which reports statistics, but not finances ; Dalhousie and Sherbrooke, and from none of the mission stations. In the Presbytery of Brockville there is no report from Kempt- ville ; nor Burritt's Rapids, part of Merrickville ; Newboio' and Westport, South Gower and Mountain, and Dunbar give only a few entries in their 10 Financial Returns. The one mission sta- tion in bounds sends no report. In the Presbytery of Kingston all the congregations report more oy less fully, but only one mission station does. In the Presbytery of Cobourg, Bobcaygeon and Verulam, Keene and Westwood, Colborne and Brighton, Norwood and Hastings, do not report; Haliburton gives but imperfect returns. Tliree mission stations report. Reports have been received from all congregations in the Presbytery of Ontario, whether settled or vacant ; one Mission Station raports pretty fuUy and three others partially. In the Presbytery of Toronto no report has come to hand fi'om Mr. Jamieson, oi British Columbia ; Chinguacousy and Claude appear among the Delayed Retm-ns. The reports from Mission Stations liave been combined. Gutlu'ie Church, Oro, and Shanty Bay, in the Presbytery of Simcoe, appear among Delayed Returns. Nine Mission Stations have reported their Statistics in part, and eight their Finances. All the Congregations, both settled and vacant, in the Presbyte.ry of Owen Sound, report more or less fully, but no reports have come frc&D. the Mission Stations. In the Presbytery of Hamilton all settled congregations report, but tliree vacancies do not ; one of these only recently admitted from the American Presbyterian Church.

The Hftmo remark appHeH to the Presbytery of Quelph, although, as in many other cases, some of the returns are not complete. ' lu the Presbytery of Durham two Vacancies do not report, Osprey, Markdale and Holland ; Hanover and West Bentinck do not give their Finances. No reports have been received from Chesley and Salein Church, Klderslie, in the Presbytery of Bruce, nor fj-om Silver Islet, Bault Bte. Marie, nor Prince Arthur's Landing, nor from Tara, Allanford and Elsinore, nor llipley. It is presumed that Riveradaie, Ennis- killcn and Pinkerton have combined their statistical i-eports ; if not then the first and last have not sent ir returns, and Iliversdale gives only its Finances, and Enniskilleu only its Statistics for the year. Culross appears among Delayed Returns. In the Presbytery of London, Forest and MacKay, Napier, Delaware and Strathroy, settled congregations do not report. The report of Westminster appears among the delayed rttiu'ns. Chalmer's Church, Dunwich, Wardsville and Newbury do not report their Finances ; Belmont and Yarmouth do nob give their statistics. Some of the returns are very imperfect. Reports have come from all the Congregations and Vacancies and Mission Stations in the Presl)yteries of Chatham, Stratford and Huron, with the exception of Bethany in the one last named. It will thus be seen that 27 Congregations, settled or vacant, have not comphed with the law of the Assembly requiring them to furnish the information your Comniitiee have been appointed to collect, and that several others, which it would take too much time to mention, have given very imperfect answers to tlie questions proposed. In several instances in whicli settled charges consist of more than one Congregation, the Returns have benn united, while in some, — and this we regard as the more excellent way — they are given separately, thus enabling the Church to form a judgment of what is being done by each congregation. According to last year's Reports the number of Ministers was 822, of whom 83 were in the Synod of Montreal ; 82 in that of Toronto ; 79 in that of Hamilton ; 73 in that of London, and 8 in that of Manitoba. According to the year's Reports the number of Ministers is 889, of whom 76, a decrease of 7, are in the Synod of Montreal ; 87, an increase of 6 in that of Toronto ; 98, an increase of 14 in that of Hamilton; and 75, an increase of 2 in that of London ; and 8, an increase of 1 in Manitoba. The total increase for the year is thus seventeen. Last year the total number of vacancies was returned as 78, this year as 72, being a decrease of 6. The number of Mission Stations was given last year as 87, this year as 96. Sta- tions in regular charges supphed by pastors was 641 last year ; this year it is 677, being an increase of 36. Stations supphed but not part of regular charges were (last year) 46, this year they are 62. The number of families reported is 30,940 ; last year it was 28,110, thus showing an increase of 2,880, which may well call forth our thanksgiving to the Great King and Head of the Church, and representing a population of about 165,000. Of these iamOies the greatest number is in the Presbytery of Guelph, being i^ithin a very few of 8,000. In Toronto there are 143 fewer, Hamilton comes third, Loudon fourth, Montreal fifth, Huron sixth, and so down. and AI'PENDIX. 149 las 78, [ission Sta- ir ; this lot part TIjp number of Hinpfle pernonn not conneoteil with families ^'"''''' ^°'" under tiio pastoral ovorsi^iit of the miniHterH thoy attend in j^iven aH 4,0()0; last year it was reported to be 4,175, Hhowing an increase of 481. ^ ^^^^^^_ ^^j Tlie number of communicant ■ '"ntyear wan 50,702 ; this yearcautsl'"" it is 5G,241, (giving an incnase o ') 1.

McLaren, Convener. m i SABBATH SCHOOL REPORT. • The Assembly's Committee on Sabbath Schools, in presenting their annual report, would express their gratitude to God for the many tokens of His favour given us during the past. There are evidences all over the Church of a growing interest in Sabbath School work, and in the instruction and care of the young. The reports Teceived by your Committee are by no means full ; but so far as they cover the ground they show markad advancement over the previous year. In many instances there is not merely an interest taken, but oven an eiithusiasm shown in this great and growing department of the Church's work. Much of the seed sown through the discussions of former years in this As.iembiy ^nd elsewhere has taken root and is growing, to produce, we hope, a rich harvest of prosperity. While acknowledging that there is much to be changed and remedied, still, no one mode- rately a-^qu'iiuted with the schools of our Church can fail to see many hopeful signs for the future. The Presbyteries of our Church do not take that lively and practical interest in this work which iis supreme importance demands, and, as a consequence, the reports received are as yet far from being comi)lete; but year by year they continue to improve, and your Committee has received reports this year which were both full and carefully prepared. From those reports it would appear that the number of teaohera is steadily increasing, and a growing proportion of them are members of the Church, which must be regarded as a most encouraging sign of future effici- ency ; while generally healthier views regarding the relation of the Sabbath School to the Church continue to prevail. We have in former reports urged the necessity of a thorough organization of the School, and a grading of the scholars according to their attainments. We believe this is done in the majority of cases, while some still continue poorly equipped and inelfioieutly conducted. Thoie is a growing desire on tiie part of owe teachers to procure libraries and papers for the schools, and the number and lituess of these have greatly increased. In accordance with a previous recommendaticm of this Assem'bly, nearly all our Schools have adopted the tnler national Scries, and many of our teachers are provided with papers in which these lessons are discussed and explained, and they have expressed their indebtedness to these expositions. We are convinced that there is far more careful and earnest preparation of ^ho lesson, and of increased efilcieuoy on the part of the teachers. The statistics are also encouraging: — Number of children tliis year reported, 37,665, against 35,020 last year ; in- crease, 2,685. Sabbath School Teachers, 4,47^>, against 4,Ui)l ; increase, 381. YolomeB in librarieB, 96,726. According to one of the recommendations of last year's report, and adopted by this Assembly, many of the Presbyteries have either held Conferences or given a sederunt to ihe consideration of Sabbath School work within their bounds. At \kw» meetings subjects ol the most vital interest to the welfare of our Schools 1'! ■■ ||i iliii-;^ 162 APPENDIX. 'I' 1 1 i5 ivi^ wore iatroduoed and discussed. We need only enumerate some of the more impor- tant tiiomes to show the nature and bearing of these disoussions, and their prac- tical influence over the whole Church. The following are some of the leading ^points which occupied the attention of- these Presbyterial Conferences ; — 1. The relation of baptised children to the Church. 2. The duties of professed Christian parents to their children. 3. The necessity and influence of early Christian train- ing. 4. Separate services for children. 5. The qualifications of the Sabbath School teacher. 6. The aim of Sabbath School work, and how to secure it. 7. The motives and eacouragements of Sabbath School teachers. 8. The relation of the Sabbath School to the Church and the family. K. The preparation of the lesson. lU. The place of the Psalms and of the Catechism in Sabbath School teaching. 11. The importance of sustaining a high religious tone in the Sabbath School, aud of aiming at high spiritual results. 12. How best to secure that our young people, in passing from the School, shall be retained in satisfactory relations towards the Church. 13. On Sabbath School literature. 14. The relation of the Church Courts to the Sabbath School. 15. Sabbath School Conventions. 16. Sabbath School music, Ac, &o. These, with many other topics equally interesting and practical which might be mentioned, show the nature of the ground covered by the discussions, and the benehcial effects that must follow ; and your Committee are in a position to affirm that great good has already resulted, and a growing . interest, largely in consequence of those discussions, is daily showing itself in our Schools throughout the whole bounds of the Church. A few extracts from Presbytery returns will best show the Assembly the lively interest which is taken in Sabbath School work. The Clerk of the Presbytery of Simcoe communicates the following encouraging details : — " A Committee was appointed to arrange for a Sabbath School t'ouveution, but as yet it has not been held. However, the statistical report of the Presbytery shows 300 more Sabbath School scholars this year than last, with a greatly increased interest in missions. Last year two Schools gave f GO for missions, this year seven contribute $267.42." The Paris Presbytery hold a Conference on Sabbath School work within their bounds, and discussed subjects of fundamental importance. The Clerk writes your Convenor : — "A grand Sabbath School Convention was held in Zion Church, Brantf ord, last October, at which the leading speakers were Presbyterian ; and that there had been an addition of fifty from the Sabbath School to the membership of his own Church during the past three months." The Presbytery of Montreal did not hold a Conference specially discussing Sabbath School questions ; but the Clerk, in a communication received from him, says: — " The subject, as usual, came up to some extent under questions on tA^ State of Religion. Twenty-five Sessions sent in reports anent the state of religion, aud in them all mention, more or less favourable, was made of measures taken for teach- ing the young in the several congregations. There is reason to believe thftt, in general, throughout the numerous congregations of the Presbytery of Montreal Sabbath School work is not only performed, but is every year increasing in iilterest. This is an impression confirmed by an inspection of the statistical returns from our congregations year by yeai-." The Presbytery of Chatham held a Sabbath School Conference in September lant, which was fairly attended by superintendents and teachers of the Sabbath Schools of the Church, at which topics bearing on Sabbath School work were intro- duced and discussed. The Clerk allirms that "The Presbytery put upon record its sense of the value of such Conferences, and appointed a Committee on Sabbath School worli to collect full statistics of all the Sabbath Schools of the Church in the Presbytery, and to arrange for a Conference to be held in September first." The Presbytery of Ottawa ddvoted an evening sederunt to a conference on Sab- bath Schools, at which a paper was read on " The relation of the Cliurch Courts to the Sabbath Schools." This was followed by addresses on The Sabbath School L3Sson, and on Sabbath School Music. The intervals between the addresses were occupied by remarks made by certain members of the Court and prominent teachers who were present. The Clerk records that " The papers read and addresses given were all very interesting and profitable, and the great regret was that so few of the Sabbath School teachers within the bounds of the Presbytery wore present to get advantage of them. This was largely owing to the fact that sufficient intimation in regard to the Conference had not beon made to them." The Toronto Presbytery also, agreeably to previous arrangements, hold a Con- APPENDIX. 168 ■lii: ferenoe on Sabbath School work, which extended over throe diets. The attendance of ministers, elders and teachers was good. A printed programme of subjects to be discussed, and of persons to introduce them, was circulated throughout the bounds of the Presbytery. Seven subjects were successively treated of, viz. : — 1. The relation of tlie Sabbath School to the Church and the family. 2. The quaUfications of a good teacher. 8. The preparation of the lesson. 4. The place of the Pualma and of the Catechism iu Sabbath School teaching. 5. The impor- tance of sustaining a high religious tone iu the Sabbath School, and of aiming at high spiritual ruBuUs. G. How to secure that our yoimg people, iu passing from the Sabbath School, shall be retained iu satisfactory relations towards the Church. 7. Sabbath School literature. Ou all these subjects many valuable auggestiona were thrown out, and on three or four of them carefully prepared papers were read, which were recommouded to bo given to the public. The Clerk relates that " Those who took part in the discussions were from various congregations within the bounds of the Presbytery. Altogether the Conference was both an iiiterosting and a very profitable one." The Presbytery of Guelph had a Tonferonce in Gait last January, and pro- ceeded according to a programme preparoil by a Committee, and approved by the Presbytery at a former mooting. At that Coufereuoe a statistical report was given in, of which we give the substance as boiug a fair representation of other Presby- teries, and may help to show the growth of this department of the Church's work. Twenty-three Sabbath Sc'.ools sent in rOplies to questions contained in a circular which had beeu issued. These showed tlie enrolled number of scholars to be 2291, or an average to each school of nearly 100. The average attendance was 1661, being an average to each school of about 70, that 1218 of the scholars were between 6 and 16 years of age, and 4*5 of them comrannicauts. There were 278 teachers employed, being an average of 12 to each school, and giving to each teacher an average of 9 scliolars ; 230 of the 278 are communicants, and who may be supposed to have given themselves to the Lord before entering upon the held ot usefulness which Christ has opened to them in His Church. It is with pleasure it can be said that the Shorter Catechism is taughii in ali the schools. In most of these schools there are also infant classes : most of them contribute to missions : only a few are closed in winter. At this conference the following subject? were discussed. 1. Separate services for children. 2. The quahtications of Sabbath School Teachers, j. The aim of Sabbath School work, and how to secure it. As expressive of the Pres- byteries' views brought out iu the addresses and discussions ou these important topics the following resolutions weio passed. Firsi. — In regard to " Separate services for children," the Conference declare their belief, that the permanent .leparation of children from their parents in the public services of the sanctuary would be of the most injurious tendency and con- trary to the design of public worship ; but that occasional special services for child- ren, properly conducted, may be of very great benefit ; and that it is important that all ministers should have in view the younger portion of their congregations in their preparations for the pulpit, and in their conduct of the ordinary services of the sanctuary. Second. — In regard to the "Qualifications of Sabbath School Teachers," the Conference desire to express their conviction that while personal piety is to bo con- sidered the prominent and essential element in all true preparation for Sabbath School work; they also regard as no moan elements iu the quaUlicatiou of Sab- bath School Teachers, thek being diligent in the study of Grod's Word ; their mak- ing careful preparation of the lessons for each day ; their cultivating the spirit of prayer ; their being regular and punctual in their attendance ; their exercising pa- tience and forbearance iu the discharge of their duty; and that, moreover, to a com- mendable measure of taste and tact, and of hearty devoteduess to their Master's work in the teaching of the young, there be added, the possession and exercise of common sense. Third. — In regard to " The ultimate aim of all Sabbath School work," the Con- ference also declare their conviction, that all teachers ought to desire that the child- ren under their charge bo brought to a saving knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, by the effectual appUoation of the truth to their hearts by the Holy Ghost. And that in order to do this, greater interest ought to be taken in the Sabbath School, both by parents themselves, and by the oMoe-bearers of the church ; and that the Sabbath School, aa much as possible, be brought under the clodo and direo^ :l|' \m w 164 APPENDIX. Bupervision of the minister of each congregation. And that there he also regularly held Teacher's meetings for mutual study of the lesson, and for devotional exer- cises, that the blessing of God may be made to accompany, or follow, the lesiona thus taught. Your Committee are aware that other Presbyteries which have not sent in for- mal reports have nevertheless had their attention called to the subject, and have, in the majority of cases, given it more or less uuusiderution ; so that during the past year nany practical e£forts have been put forth for the building up and consolidat- ing of our Sabbath Sohuuls. But we would urge this Assembly to warn parents against the danger -of trusting the whole of the religious teaching of their children to the Habbath Hohool. There is a care to be exercised, and a work to be done at home, which the most efficient school can never supply. The one is not intended to supersede, or do the work of the other, but as two factors, must be blended to- gether in one blessed result, viz : — the training of the rising generation in faith and holiness — their upbringing in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 1. With a view to the early training of the young in practical benevolence, and especially to the cultivation of a warm missionary spirit, yoiu committee re- commend that the Assembly encourage the formation of Missionary Associations in connection with our schools, wherever practicable ; convinced that by this meani the contributions to oar mission schemes would bo largely increased, and that the young them'ielves would reap great profit in having their interest in the Church and her work deepened, and a missionary spirit developed. 2. Convinced that our Sabbath Schools are the great nurseries of the Church from which our mombors are to be drawn, and also of the importance of Sabbath School instruction, we recommend the Assembly to enjoin Presbyteries to see that Sabbath Schools be established at every preaching station if at all possible. In this way many of the young at present not under any religious training would ba gathered in. 3. We are alive to the great good that might be done by Institutes for the train- ing of Sabbath School Teachers, and recommend the Assembly to favour the forma- tions of such in all our cities and larger towns, to bo conducted by some of the resi- dent ministers as may bo agreed upon. 4. Your Committee are fully persuaded that the Sabbath School enterprise de- mands far more attention from our Church Courts than at present is given to it, and they ask the Assembly to urge Presbyteries and Synods to give at least one Se- derunt to the consideration of a subject so vital, and also to collect stati')tios and send tabulated returns to the Assembly's Convener. Considering the new relations in which this Church will soon stand to the sister Churches which are now negotiating union, your Committee did not deem it advisable to make any other recommendations, or bring up an„ radical subjects for discussion at this stage. They would close their report by asking the Assembly to urge the Church to greater zeal and devotedness in this groat department of her mission — to seek out well (lualified and earnest teachers and impress upon them, her unpaid staff of spiritual instructors, the necessity of being thomselves the fol- lowers of the Lamb that they may speak to the young out of the fulness of their own hearts. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. THOMPSON, Convener. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EVANGELIZATION. FRENCH Your Committee beg leave to report thai eleven French students were this year employed as missionaries and colporteurs during college recess, viz : — 0. Amaron, at Aylmer; T. Brouillotte, at Biviere-du-Loup ; C. Brouillette, at Lancaster; A. B. Cruohet, in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ; M. P. Boudreau, in the lumbering region of the Upper Qatiueau, in connection with the Student's Missionajy Society of the Presbyterian College, Montreal ; C. Chavez, at the Sixes Portages on the Ga- tiueau; Qt. Mousseau, Colporteur in connection with the Quebec Bible Society; E. D. APPENDIX. 165 Pelletier, at St. Anne, Kankakee ; Z. Lefevre, at St. ChrysoHtora ; P.Blouin and Theo. Bouchard, at St. Paul de Chester, Port-au-Porsil, l^ay St. Paul, Murray Bay and ad- jacent places. The reports received from Colporteurs and Missionaries show gratifying success in nearly aU the fields named. For the present summer the work is considerably enlarged, the foUowing appointments ^laving been made. Presbytery of Pictou, Nova Scotia, Edward D. Pelletier, Missionary. Presbytery of St. John, New Brunswick, F. Kevard, Missionary ; Presbytery of Huron, A. B. Cruchet, Missionary; Presb3rtery of Chatham, Windsor and neigbouring stations, M. Chavez, Missionary ; New Glasgow, M. F. Boudreau, Missionary ; The Six Portages, L. F. Richard, Missionary Teacher ; St. Chrysostom, Joseph Morin, Missionary Teacher ; Quebec Bible Society, Samuel Brnneau, Colporteur ; St. Paul de Chester, O. Mousseau, Missionary, and P. Blouin, Missionary Teacher; Port-au-Persil and neighbouring districts, Samuel Carriere, Colporteur ; Vaukleekhill and districts west of the Ottawa River, Alfred Quertin, Colporteur. It will thus he seen that fourteen French . students are employed ; seven as Mis- sionaries who preach French and English, four as Missionary Teachers, and three as Colporteurs. Ten of these are in the service of your Committee, two are employed by the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces, one by the Bible Society of Que- bec, and one by the Student's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian College, Mon- treal. The fields occupied are distributed throvighout the Dominion from Windsor, Ontario, to Pictou, Nova Scotia, and the gospel is preached to many who otherwise would be totally destitute of the means of grace. Cheering instances of the readiness of the people to receive the truth have came to the knowledge of your Committee. At St. Paul de Chester, Roman Catholics united in a petition for the renewal of the labours of the student who occupied the field last summer ; and at St. Chrysostom a convert o£Fers a piece of land upon which a mission school house and premises may be erected, and, meanwhile, gives the use of a house free of rent for this purpose ; and the French people in the neighbourhood are readyto contribute the principal part of the cost of a school house. But your Committee, while feehng the necessity of erecting it, and of planting schools in many of the parishes of Quebec, are restrained from doing so by the utterly inadequate income which the Church affords. At Ot- tawa a French Church was organized last winter with twenty-one members in full communion, and an average attendance of from forty to fifty. The congregation has resolved to contribute for the support of ordinances; $1 50 for the current year. The services aie held, in the meantime, in a hall rented for the purpose. This little chui'ch has been gathered through the labours of Mr. Mark Ami, who recently ap- phetl to be received as minister of this church. REV. C. CHINIQUY'S LABOURS. By the deliverance ol the last General Assembly, the congregation and school at St. Anne, Kankakee, were placed entirely under the supervision of the Presbytery of Chatham, and said Presbytery was instructed to sever Mr. Chiniquy's connection with the Mission of St. Anne, as early as found expedient, with a view of his being employed in evangelistic work among the French Canadian population of the Do- minion under the direction of your Committee. In pursuance of this deliverance, Mr. Chiniquy arrived at Montreal on the 22nd January, and continued his labours in the city until the 25th of March, which he again resumetl early in May. He preached the first two Sabbaths in the French Protestant Church, Craig Street, which was found to be altogether too small to ac- commodate the large number of Roman Catholics who desired to hear him. Law- less attempts were soon made by Romanists to drive ^im out of the city. The Craig Street Church was rendered unfit for occupation by the violence of those persons who smashed all the windows witli stones and otherwise sought to interrupt the ser- vices. At this juncture, the Elders and Deacons of Cote Street Church, in a spirit of self-sacrifice and zeal for the good of French Roman Catholics, which deserves the highest commendation and warmest thanks, placed their church at the service of your Committee and of Mr. Chiniquy. The Civil authorities were appealed to for the preservation of order, and the protection of your fearless and heroic missionary, whose life was more than once in jeopardy. Several disorderly persons were arrested and punished ; and the friends of truth and freedom soon rallied around Mr. Chiniquy, and the battle of liberty of i 166 APPENDIX. Rpeeoh was enccesBfuUy fought and the truth of God declared to the crowds who were eager to hear it, in spite of all the efforts of Romanists. It is difficult to give an adequate impression of the arduous labours of Mr. Chiniquy, while night and day seeking the salvation of his countrymen ; and your Committee record with gratitude the fact that the Lord was pleased to crown his efforts with signal success. During the two months referred to, he delivered twenty- seven public addresses in French to audiences averaging about 800 each ; so that many thousands of French Canadian Roman Catholics heard the gospel from his lips, and thus a work was ac- complished which would require years, even by several missionaries going from house to house. He delivered, also, thirteen addresses in English to audiences averaging about 1000, besides many private meetings which he held with converts and others. In addition to these public labours, he conversed with about 900 inquirers, more than half of whom were led to see and acknowledge the errors of Romanism. The total number of converts already gathered is over 300 : and I now place on the table of the Assembly, the autograph list of signatures of those who sent their demission to the priests, and thus publicy renounced their connection with the Church of Rome. A large proportion of these, your Committee have reason to hope, are exercising faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and are not satisfied with having simply abjured the errors by which they were long enslaved. On the 24th of March, these converts and their friends held a social meeting in the Lecture Room of Cote Street Church, to which about 700 persons were admit- ted by ticket. Professor Coussirat presided. Resolutions were proposed, ably spoken to, and unanimously adopted by the converts, expressive of their renunci- ation of Romish errors and their attachment to the gospel and the freedom which it secures. The meeting was addressed by the Revs. C. Doudiet, Tlieo. Lafleur, C. Chiniquy, and others, and was fitted to be most useful to these so recently brought out of darkness, in uniting their hearts and sympathies, and strengthening them to endure the reproach and persecution which they have since encountered. Not a few of them were soon thrown out of employment and thus deprived of the means of livelihood because of their attafibment to the truth. It is pleasing to be able to state, however, that in response to an appeal recently published by Mr. Chiniquy, the Christian people of Montreal have promptly given employment to all who were thus ungenerously and unjustly treated. This is a most commendable and effective method of aiding the work of the Church ; for it has been the experience of those who have long toiled for the emancipation of this people, that converts are in many cases driven from their homes by secret and open persecutions, and parishes in which much good has been accomplished, left in the same unbroken darkness which has rested upon them for the last century. If, therefore, the converts now reported, or at least many of them, should be scattered in Ontario, the United States and elsewhere, let this excite no surprise or incredulous inquiries as to the work done. "We must be prepared to experience such disappointment so long as the dominant power of the system against which we con- tend remains unbroken ; a system which is not good for the human conscience, for human freedom, or for the stability of our government. It is scarcely possible to state definitely the extent to which the truth, proclaim- ed by the living voice of your missionary, and scattered by the printed reports of his lectures and his letters, has taken effect. But it is certain that the movement now going on reaches all classes of Roman Catholics in the city. The educated as well as the ignorant, the rich as well as the poor, and extends its influence to many country districts. Requests for the services of Mr. Chiniquy were pressed upon the Convener from several places, and Mr. Chiniqtiy received similar invitations and letters from Ro- man Catholics, announcing their determination to assert their rehgious freedom after having read reports of his lectures and sermons. This accounts for the action of the highest ecclesiastical authorities in threatening with excommunication all who ventured to read such reports — a foolish farce of intolerance which is defeating itself by making the people more eager to gain information, and by moving not a few Pro- testants to proper activity on their behalf. In the absence of a French Presbyterian Church, and in view of the approach/ ing union, your Committee deemed it wise to gather the converts into St. John'* Church, Dorchester Street, in connection with the Church of Scotland. Rev. C.

St. John's Cliurch, it is proper to state, is too small ; and it is hoped that a much large Church, in a more suitable position, may be available after Union, Early in May, Mr. Chiniquy and his family removed to this city, as instructed by last General Assembly, and the citizens generously furnished his house. The Committee recommend that Mr. Chini(iuy's salary be two thousand five hundred dollars per anoum, payable monthly in advance, and beginning from the first of May last. FINANCE. From the Treasurer's Statement it will be seen that the year closes with a balance of $1085.87 due the Treasurer. The total amount received duiing the year is $5,708.03 ; being $376.47 more than the income of the previous year. It is difficult to account for the small amount contributed in view of the un- precedented success of tbe work, the fact tliat Mr. Chiniquy has been removed to Canada in compliance v/ith the desire of the Church, and that frequent and urgent appeals for funds have been issued, your Committee express the hope that some effective means may be adopted in future for procuring an adequate income. Unless action is immediately taken in this respect, the services of many of the Missionaries must be discontinued. All which is respectfully submitted, D. H. MacVICAR, Convener. Montreal, Jufte 10th, 1876. REPORT ON THE STATE OF RELIGION. In presenting their report, your Committee would exjiress their ever deepening conviction of the importance of the work intrusted to them by vbo Assembly. It is of vital moment that all the Sessions under the care of the Assembly should be often and earnestly reminded of the necessity of inquiring how it is in regard to the " state of religion," in the congregations of which they have the oversight — often and eainestly warned of the danger of mistaking the shadow for the substance, and the form of godliness for its reality and its power. After careful deliberation, with earnest prayer to God for the guidance and teachmg of His Holy Spirit, your Committee again sent out questions on this - subject to all the Sessions of the Church. In the report for last year, the belief was expressed that the number of returns (164) was the largest number that had been received in any year, in reply to similar inquiries. The number received this year is 196. From some Presbyteries the number of returns is almost complete : that is, one from every Session. From others, the number of returns is a mere fraction of the number of Sessions. In the Presbytery of London, for example, whether from inattention to the matter, or disapproval of the form in which the questions are sent, only five Sessions out of thirty- four send returns. Tho small number of returns from the London Presbytery seems the more remarkable, from the fact that, in the other three Presbyteries of the Synod of London, with an aggregate number of fifty-five Sessions, there are only eleven in all that have sent no returns. SYNOD OF LONDON. The Beport of this Synod shows that, in the Presbytery of Huron, 19 Sessions have sent in returns; Stratford, 11; Chatham, 14; London, 5. Besides the Synodical Report, there are reports from all the Presbyteries : that from the Presbytery of London, conch, ling with a recommendation that "the Synod should issue a pastoral address, bearing chiefly on family worship, secret prayer, personal piety, and the training of the young in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." With referei^oe to the Assembly's questions on the State of Religion, the Sjmodical Report contains a recommendation that "Presbyteries be directed to appoint one of their number to receive tho reports of Sessions, and prepare a report based on them ; and that such person be ex officio a member of the Committee on Evangehstio Work." \\' III 168 APPENDIX. RYWrOD OF HAMILTON. In the Synod of Hamilton forty-nix ScssionB bavo sont in roturnn : PreHbytery of Hamilton, 9 ; Paris, 10 ; Quelpb (including returns forwarded to the Convener of the Assombly's Committee, after meeting of Synod), 14 ; Durham, 4 ; Bruce, 3. In the Synodical lle])ort, attention is called to the cheering fact that "in some of tha Keports from Presbyteries and Sessions, it is stated that the Spirit of Qod has been working on the hearts of many connected with the Chiurches in this district of coun- try," and that, " in several congregations, large additions have been made to the membership of the Church, of many who were not previously members." SYNOD OF TOBONTO. From this Synod there appears a very full and instructive report. It shows that returns have been received from fifty-two Sessions : Presbytery of Cobonrg, 9 ; Ontario, 11 ; Toronto, 15 ; Simcoo, 12 ; Owen Bound, 6. This report leads to the encouraging conclusion that "the tide of Christian liberality is steadily rising throughout the bounds of the Synod ; that the interest of God's children in God's work at home and abroad appears to be deepening ; that the Lord is not unmindful of His people, and that in many places He is granting them manifold tokens of good ; that, while the love of some waxes cold, and there is much worldliness, forget- fulnesB of God, and desecration of His Sabbath, His work is clearly reviving in different parts of His Church." SYNOD OF MONTItKAL. This Synod likewise furnishes a full and carefully prepared report. Comparing it with that of last year, it shows great progi-ess in the attention given to this important subject. "The large nimiber of returns," says the Convener, "Is one gratifying feature of this year's report. These number forty-five as compared with thirty- two last year." This increase is mainly in the Presbytery of Itlontreal, in which there were received 25 returns instead of 15 as last year. In the Presbytery of Brockville also, there is a very marked increase, viz.: 7 instead of the 2 of last year. In the Presbytery of Ottawa, there were 11 returns, being a decrease of 3. In the I'reubytery of Kingston, 8 returns — the same number as last year. PRB8BYTBBY OF MANITOBA. Your Committee have much satisfaction in referring to a report from this Presbytery, in which it is stated that returns have been received from 4 Sessions. This, it is believed, is the first regular report of this kind that has come from that new, important, and interesting field. It leads us to realize more vividly that, far remote as our brethren there are from the present main centres of our operations, we are all " one in Christ Jet>us." The report is accompanied by a letter from the Presbytery's Committee on the State of Religion, assuring us of the Presbytery's readiness to co-operate with us in furnishing all the information in their power, and in seeking to secure a fuller report for next year. Prom a conjunct view of these reports, your Committee gather that there has been a gratifying increase in the membership of the Church during tlie past year. Fuller information regarding this will be given in the report' of the Committee on Statistics. FAMILY WOBSHIP is generally observed by heads of families in communion with the Church; but, from some quarters, the sad report comes that it is neglected. In almost all con- gregations, it is feared, there are dwellings of professing Christian in which there is no domestic altar; and your Committee would recommend that, especially in Synodical and Presbyterial conferences on the state of rehgion, Ministers and Elders should stir each other up to a faithful and affectionate dealing with heads of families, in whose houses there is no family worship. THK TBAININQ OF THE YOTTNO in the nurture and admonition of the Lord is attended to in many of the homes of our people. It can hardly be hoped that such a thing will be much thought of where there is no family worship. But your Committee are persuaded that even parents APPENDIX. IGO wko do pray with and for their cliililren nood, in the most of casoH, to realize, more vividly than they have ever done, the duty and the privilogo of bringing their chil- dren to Christ — of seeking to induce them to give their hearts to Him in the days of their youth. HABBATH 8UHOOL8 are all but univorHally maintained in our congregations. In most of them the teachers are sustained in some good degree by tlio sympathy and co-operation of the members of the Church. 'Die Shorter Catechism is used in the scliooU, but it is said that, in some localities, the scholars, even tlie more advanced among them, are not so familiar with it as they might be expected to be. , far DBS, PRAYSn HEKTINUS are to be found in conuectiou, it is believed, with almost every congregation. They are not attended us they ought to bo ; but, from some quarters, the encouraging report comes that tliere iii a largely increased attendance at such meetings. It is said that, in a few congregations, there is no prayer meeting. To your committee this seems inexplicable. Such a state of thin;;s surely requires the immediate and very earnest attention of the presbyters or Presbyteries to which such information has been forwarded. OQBISTUN LIBEBAIilTY appears to be on the increase throughout tlie church. Congregations contribute more and more largely towards the maintenance of Gospel ordinances among them- selves, and the support of the schemes of the Churcli ; but in l)oth of these depart- ments, and very specially in the latter, there is much room and great need for im- provement. INDICATIONS OF SPUtlTUAIj LIFE of a very cheering character are to bo seen here and there throughout our borders. One Presbytery reports that in some places " prayer meetings have been, and still are, exceedingly well attended. There never was anything lilio the mterest now manifested, in former years." In another Presbytery one reports : " but for hopeful indications among the young, we might be tempted to give up altogether." A second: "Some of the young are known to be under the power of the truth, and there seems to be a growing seriousness among them." And a third : " We are glad to be able to report this year more indications of spiritual life than any previous year. In the first half of 1874 the seed of the Gospel was sown in tears, and no fruit appeared. But in August the Lord of the harvest was pleased to give us a rich and glorious ingathering. Not less than 124 were received on the profession of their faith, at the communion in September. It is most iuterestirg to observe that, in all the Synods, and in almost all the Presbyteries, there have been conferences on the state of religion. These seem to be becoming year by year, more interesting and more profitable. ear. on but, tere iers BVANOELISTIO SEBVIOES. Your committee have to tell of much earnest conference and, in many places, much earnest effort in connection with evangelical services. " It seems a sign of hope and of promise * * * ^j^^^^^ ^[^[^ somewhat new form of Christian activity which we call special or evangelistic services, should have commended itself so readily to the judgments and consciences of our people."* In several places within the bounds of the Synod of Toronto, such services have been followed by blessed results. Special mention may be made of Woodville in this connection. In the Beport of the Synod of Toronto, the conviction is expressed " that the blessing granted so abundantly at Woodville, and vouchsafed in lesser measure elsewhere, invites and encourages all * * * to a heartier and more devoted service than the former years have seen." Brethren in the Synod of London have been greatly encouraged by the success with which God has graciously attended the efforts of those engaged in evangullstic 1' i * Beport of Toronto Bynod. 170 APPENDIX. work. " Circulars wure addreHMed early last autumn to miniHtera aod aeflaions, to aacortain what brethren were willing to aid in the work, and what neaaiona desired ausiatanco in carrying on apocial aerviouH.

In the Synod of Montreal it was found impossible to aocuro tho services of a sufficient number of labourers to work in all tho fields in which help was desired for the carrying on. But by the blessing of God on the earnest and self-denying efforta of some who gave themselves to tho work, much has been accomplished. " Times of refreshing " have been enjoyed in Osgoodo, Nopoau, Pakenham, Almonte, Castleford, and other places which your committee cannot now specify. To a small congrega- tion, about two years ago, when matters wore somewhat discouraging, a deputation was sent for evangelistic work. " The visit and services had the happiest effect. Fifteen were added to the church on profession of faith, and a new and better spirit among the people became manifest. Fifteen morejon profession have been received this year, though no special services were held. In two years an addition of thirty on profession of faith. In Chalmers' Church, Kingston, a condition of unuaual pros- perity, of more vigorous life, and greater progreas, is traced to the special aervices with which the city hm been favoured during the pait year, oven though, oongre- gationally, no such services have been held. " And so it must be generally. For, what is special evangelistic work ? Simply the more oarnost and abundant use of the Divine means to save men ; the preach- ing of the glorious gospel of God's Grace with a more than usually importunate ap- plication of that Gospel to individuals. And who can see the masses of our haarers bonumbud with spiritual apathy, or swept away in the current of worldlinoaa, with- out the eager desire to interpose in somo way to remedy tho evil."t The aim of your committee in preparing this report has boon to condens o ; to expand would have been easy. Some of the Synodioal Reports, both on the state of religion and evangelistic work, are fuller and. in many respects, better than this which is now presonted to tho Assembly. But y )ur committee havo endeavoured, as they felt themselves bound to do, to exhibit within the smallest possible oompaaa, the substance of the various reports with which they have had to deal. Your committee do not deem it necessary to add any recommendation to this report, save 1. That the Assembly commend the diligence of Synods and Presbyteries in their conferences and efforts in counection with the state of religion, and enjoin them to continue giving equal, or increased, ctttentiou to this most important subject. 2. That the Assembly highly approve of the efforts that have been put forth ia connection with evangelistio services ; heartly rejoice in the success with which, by the divine blessing, these efforts have been attended; and earnestly commend the subject of evangelistio woi-k to the prayerful o msideration of all th« olfioeTbear- ers and members of the church. All of which is respotfully submitted. THOMAS WABDROPE, Convener. * Report of Synod of London. \ Beport of Montrsal Synod. APPKNDIX. 171 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON WIDOWS' FUND.

Your Committee have to report that during the year now concluded, the follow- ing changes have taken place on the roll. Two respected fathers. Dr. Cairns and Mr. Melville, have been removed by death, while two others, Mi'. Duncan MacmUlau, late of Lobo, and Mr. James Mcintosh, late of Amherat Island, have been placed on it. They have also to report, and recommend tQ the favorable consideration of the Assembly, the case of Mr. J. R. Scott, late of Cambray, whose name would have been placed on the roll, had the Presbytery of Ontario only asked the congregation for some retiring allowance. This matter was not overlooked by either Presbytery or people, for the minute of Presbytery boars that the congregation agreed to let Mr. Soott occupy the Manse and glebe for this season, and that as the congregation was a small and a supplemented one, nothing oould be gained by delay and dealing with them, aud your Committee do not doubt that the Presbytery's statement is quite oorrect, still they, according to their naual plan, felt bound to notice the ii»og<^»rity« 172 APPENDIX. Tho have also to ropott tho oase of Mr. Ilobort Montoatb, formerly ci York MUIh. Mr. Montoath'H caso differa from ordinary oaHos, in that hu han Iiod no oou- grogatiun for 8omo time, and that tho ProHbytery do not mention cither Mr. Vlon- toath's ago, his period of service, or the grounds on wliiuh thu claim which thoy urge ia based. Your Committee would HUggest that it bo remitted to tho Commit- tee to be appointed to make the nocoasary enquiry, and deal with this case as they may see cause. Your Committee, considering tho increased expense of living, and the ntter in- adequacy of the granta hitherto made to meet the wants of fathers and brethren, and also that thoy wore authorizod somo years ago to increase the sum in any very special oasoH to the amount of 9300, have added in nearly all cases the sum of f^5^), and they hope that the AsHombly will allow them to increase these stiU further if the fund will admit of their doing so. The Convener, seeing that tho union of the Churches was so near at hand, as- aumed the responsibility of asking the actuary not to proceed with the enquiry for- merly ordered, till such time an tho matter would be brought before tho United Church, and ho was the more ready to do so inasmuch as the opinion is spreading that the Church, instead of endeavouring to raise tlio capital of the fund much be- yond its present amount, which it can do, seemingly, only at the expense of those now, or shortly to bo on tho roll, ought to deal more liberally by its present annuitants, and also because the existence of a capital fund appears to act as a check on the liberality of congregations. Your Committee approve of his action and reasons, and would strongly urge on tho Assembly to fix some reasonable scale of allowanco which shall bo paid, provided always, that tho fund will allow of that being done, and let the Cliurch know from time to time the amount necessary to meet the esti- mated expenditure, that ministers may not feel driven to cling to their places and work when it would be better for tho Church that they would give way in favour of younger men. Tho annuitants at present on the fund, and their grants are J. Fotheringham $180 00 George Cheyne 250 00 Henry Gordon 250 00 W. Smart 250 00 Donald Ma(dtenzie 250 00 D.

It having been remitted to your Committee last year to endeavour to prepare flome regulationH which might bo adopted for the management of tliis fund, re- Holved, though witli Homo ditTercnco of opinion, to reproduce those presented for- merly, but somewhat uiodiliod. These are : I. That no one shall share in this fund who enters the ministry of this Church after reaching the age of fifty. II. That in order to have a claim on it, each minister must henceforth contri- bute thereto fifty cents for every hundred dollars of his professional income. III. That any one who at the period of his entrance on a charge, shall neglect to connect himself with this Fund, shall be dealt with as in arrears thereto; that for all arrears one-tenth additional must be paid, and that any one who is four years in arrears shall lose all interest in the fund, unless some valid cause is assigned, and is certified to the Committee by the Presbytery within whose bounds he resides. IV. That no PrcHbytery shall accept of a resignation, if as the result thereof an application is to be made to this Committee, until duo diligence has been usod to get from the congregation a retiring allowance for the minister, and the Presbytery shall, when making the application, satisfy the Committee on the subject before any grant is made. V. That each who is admitted shall, if he has served ten years or under, re- ceive $160 a year. If he has served over ten years he shall receive at the rate of ten dollars a year for each additional year of service, till the amount of 9300 is reached. VI. That ministers who have served for forty years, or till they have reached the ago of seventy shall, if they retire in a proper and orderly way, receive the sum of 9400 a year. VII. That each annuitant shall, at the beginning of April in each year, fiunish the committee with a statement, certified by the clerk of his Presbytery, of tho amount received by him on account of labours during the previous year, and that no payment be made at that time till such statement is received, and that the Com- mittee may, if they see cause, diminish or withdraw the grant. VIII. That if the income of the Committe be not sufficient for the payment of grants according to the scale now proposed, the Committee shall reduce them ac- cordingly. IX. Exceptional cases reserved for the consideration of the Assembly. JOHN MACTAVISH, CoMvener. id is REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF KNOX COLLEGE. The Board of Management of Knox College have to report that the number of students in the Theological Department last session was 32,-12 of the first year, 12 of the second, and 8 of the third. The attendance and deportment of tho Htudents, and their diligence in study, were most satisfactory. Mr. Tavemer gave instruction in Elocution, as during the previous session. There were in the Preparatory Department, twelve students, — 3 of the first year, 2 of the second, and 7 of the third. The classes in this department were conducted by Messrs. P. Straith, M.A., and A. M. Hamilton, B.A., tutors. It is satisfactory to know that the smallness of the number in this department is not due to any falling off in the number of those who have the ministry in view, but to the facts that some have left this department to enter on a full university course of study, and that the proportion of those attending ;the University is yearly increasing, thus encouraging the hope that in a short time this department may be entirely dispensed with. But while making these explanations it is painful to have to acknowledge, year after year, that the number of those aspiring to the Ministry is not at all commensurate with the wants of the Church, and with the Home and Foreign Mission work on which we have entered, and the still more tn APPENDIX. r: a, , ^ ;'!7 oxtonsive •work of this kind, which onr mftterial rosonrces, onr high jiriviliges, and our love to the souls of men, and to Christ, should stimulAte us to undertake. From the accompanying Financial statement it will be seen that the income of the year amounts to $8128.55, and that the current expenses, including 1375 as proportion of general expenses and agent's salary, and $425 for Dr. Willis' retking allowance, amounted to $10,091.53, leaving a deficiency for the year, of $1,956.98, which, with the balance due at the close of previous ycj amounting to $1,802.88, leaves a total balance of $3,770. 8G now due. The Boflvd, whilst regretting that so large a deficiency now exists in the ordinary Fund of the College, yet feel that this may be accounted for ou the ground of the large liberality which has been manifested towards the erection of the Now College; and the hope is entertained that as the Church nas shewn its deep interest in the prosperity of the College, the members of the church will feel themselveB called upon to see that the ordinary work shall not be impeded in any way by a continued debt on the regular revenue. The board therefore trusi, that by increased contributions during the present year, the indebtedneflS may be wiped away or very much diminished. The amount received during tie year for the Bursary Fond, was $2,702.00, including $1,400.00 received from the estates of the late Dr. Boyd, John Alexander, Esq., and A. Smith, Esq. Of this amount, $1,250.00 have been paid for scholar- ships and bursaries, and $1,003.75 have been invested. There is a balance of $401.37 in the treasurer's hands. The whole investment now amounts to $7,250.00. The Endowmknt Fund now amoimts to $6,292. 10. The Board has pleasure in stating that the College Buildings is now almost completed, and will be ready for occupation at the commencememt of next session, and that, in the meantime, arrangements are being made to celebrate in a suitable manner the opening of it. It is giatifying to report that, although 113 settled congregations, and 20 vacancies, have not yet been canvassed, the subscriptions to the Building Fund now amount to $110,000, and that of this sum, $50,961.34 have been paid. The total amount expended on the new building to this date, is $93,737.24. For the lai-ge increase in the subscription to the Building Fund since last Assembly, we are deeply indebted to the diligence with which the Professors canvassed last summer, and also to the labours of the llev. R. H. "Warden, whom the board engaged as its canvassing agent for one year, from Nov. 1st, 1874, at a salary of $1,300.00, with travelling expenses. The Board is convinced that all the congregations should be canvassed. This is due to the congregations which have already subscribed. It will also be needed to meet the large liabilities already incurred, the interest constantly runnmg on, the expenditure which wiU still be required to complete and furnish the buildings, and any failure which may reasonably be expected to occur in collecting subscriptions so numerous and large. It is proposed to devote the surplus which may bo expected to remain, if the canvass is properly carried out, after paying all expenses on the buildings, to tlie erection of suitable houses for the professors. This will greatly conduce to their comfort, and at tho same time be equivalent to an increase in their salaries, with- out imposing any additional burden on the ordinary revenue of the College. Although tho Professors may canvass a little during the present summer, yet it would be uru?easonable to oxpect them to do the whole work ; hence it may be necessary to engage Mr. Warden's services for another year. •The Board, after mature deliberation, aided by correspondence with Theolo- gical and Literary Institutions, both in Canada and the United States, have decided in reference to the boarding establishment, "^^hat the student's rooms shall be com- pletely furnished by the church, and lighted with gas, free of charge ; that student!) occupying rooms in the college shall also board in it, and that the rate of board, including attendance, shall not exceed $3.00 per week ; further, that none except students in their Theological course, or students preparing for their Theologionl course, whether studying in Knox College or in some other educational institution in Toronto, and, in the event of the rooms not being all occupied by students, ministers or probationers of the church temporarily resident in Toronto, with tho consent of the Principal, shall bo admitted to board in the College. While ropi- dence in the college will be optional on the part of students, it is expected that the mtemal arrangements of the College will be such as to make it both desirable ami advantageous to them. All of which is most respectfully submitted, J. J. A. PEOUDFOOT, Chairman.

The Senate ci Knox College has to report that the nnmbur of Btndeuts in the Theologicid Department during the last BesBion was 32. The list of the ^veral years is as follows: — TMrd year. — Messrs. A. M. McClelland, B.A. , Williftm Beid, Bobert Scott, James S. Stewart, Straith. If .A. St'cond yvar. — Samuel Acheson, Stewart Acheson, J. Allison, Walter Amos, Alexander McFarlane, Colin Fletcher, B.A., J. B. Gilchrist, A. M. Hamilton, B.A., Alexander Henderson, "William M. Henry, B.A., John McQueen, John Batcliff. Mrst year. — Daniel Beattie, Bobert Fowlie, Willian' Gallaher, John Geddes, Peter C. Goldie, A. H. Kippan, A. P. McKenzie, Hugh McKay, Alexander Nicol, Alexander Bussell, Alexander Scott, B.A., William Aloxander_Wilson,'_B.A,, The above students ore all duly enrolled in their respective years, with the exception of A. F. McKenzie, on whose behalf application will be made to the General Assembly by the Presbytery of Guolph. The presbytery will ask that Mr. Mcl'^nzie, who up to the time of his entering college was engaged in teaching, shall have the status of a first year's student accorded to bim, notwithstanding the fact that he had little knowledge of Hebrew at the commencement of the sessitm, and coald not therefore take the examination prescrijbed in cases such as his, before entering on the study of theology. The Senate is happy to be able to report very favourably on Mr. McKenzie's case, and has no difScuIty in recom- mending the General Assembly to grant the petition of the Guelph Presbytery. The following is an abstract of the several class-reports. Principal Caven, as in past sessions, had three classes under his care, — the Senior Exegetical, com- prising the students of the second and third years; the Junior Exegetical, cousist- of the first year's students, and the olass in Bible Criticism, attended also by the men of the first year. The Senior Exegetical Class was occupied during the first term, with the interpretation of the first five chapters of the Epistle to the Bomans, and with selections from the Prophecies of Isaiah during the second term. The members of this class who belong to the last year, each prepared, as required by the law of the Church, a critical exercise with additions. In the Junior Exegetical Class, there were critically read, nve chapters of the Acts of the Apostles, and the first nine chapters, and part of the eleventh chapter of the Book of Genesis. A oonrse of lecturer was delivered on the principles of interpretation, BiLiical Criticism was taught partly in the use ol a Text-Book, and partly by Lectures. Professor Gregg conducted during the past session, the classes of Apologetics and of Church HiBtory. In the Apologotical class, the usual topics were treated of. This class was attended by the students of the first year. In Church History the leading events of mediaeval times, and of the reformation in Germany, Switzer- land, Great Britain and Ireland, were reviewed. This class was attended by all the students of the first and second years. Professor Gregg examined Homilies by students of the first and second years, and Latin Discourses by the students of the third year. Professor Gregg would suggest the propriety of extending the course of Church History to students of the third year, as far, at least, as one lecture a week. Professor McLaren reports that he conducted two classes in Systematic Theology. The Senior Class, consisting of the third year's students, was oconpied with the following topics: Creation, Providonce, the Origin and Unity of the Human Bace, the Origin of the Soul, Man's Original State, the Fall, Original Sin, the Covenant of Grace, the Person of Christ — his Offices, Justification, Sanctification, and the Sacraments. This class met three times a week during tho first part of the session, and four timeii a week during the socond part, The Jouior ClasS; comprising the first and second year's studeutH, met three times a week. The following subjoots were dealt with : viz. Inspiration, the \an. 176 APPENDIX. !l< n.^' if'^ It?*" Rule of Faith, the Attributes of God, the Trinity, the Decrees of God and Election. Each student, in both classes, was required to produce a theological essay. Much good is anticipated from the change instituted at the beginning of the session, making the teaching of Systematic Theology extend over the entire three years of circulation. Dr. Proudfoot reports that he taught the Homiletical Class, composed of the second and third year's students, during the first half of the session. He delivered thirty-three lectures, and held ten examinations on lectures. Eight sei-mons were delivered by students of the third year, and twelve expository sermons by students of the second year. There was a decided improvement in the discourses as compared with the previous year, and the examination papers, as a whole, are greatly superior to those of any former yepr It is regretted that the course of lectures had to be considerably abridged for want of time. Texts for expository sermons were prescribed to all the students of the first and second years. All the Professors report satisfaction with the attendance and deportment of the students, and with their diligence in study. In accordance with authority given by the General Assembly, the services of a teacher of Elocution were secured, and the Senate has to report that Mr. Taverner, as during the previous session, gave instructions in this important art to aU the students in the Theological Department. It is believed that Mr. Taverner's lectures, and his exercises in reading and speaking, will prove very useful to the students. In the Prepabatoby Depabtment of the College, Mr. P. Straith, M.A., was re-engaged by the Senate as tator in Greek, and Mr. A. M. Hamilton, I3.A., was appointed tutor in Latin. The list of students in this department is as follows : — T/iird year. — Messrs. J. Johnson, C. Cameron, Donald Currie, D. G. McKay, A. Eraser, T. Kenning, T. Coulter. Second year. — G. McKay, and T. Glendinning. First year. — John Knox Wright. Messrs. J. McDiarmid, and M. McGregor joined the classes in this department at the beginning of the session, but with the approbation of the Senate, concluded to take the regular course of the University, and hence were obliged partly to discontinue their attendance on the Classical In- struction given in Knox College. Mr. P. Eigley, after presenting himself for examination for entrance, was obliged to leave from the state of his health, and J. Robertson thought he might have obtained the position of a fi rst year's student, was advised that it would be for his benefit to take another year in a good High School : accordingly he has done BO. The reduction of members in the Classical Department does not indicate, it is believed, that there are fewer young men than in previous years who have the ministry in view, but rather testifies to the crowing desire of the students (which the Senate wish in every legitiniato way to encourage) to take a full University course as preparatory to the study of Theology. Thus not only have the students above mentioned gone to University College, but also Messrs. J. W. Smith and W. Fitzsimmons, who would this year have finished in the Preparatory Department of Knox College, had they remained in it, have entered upon the regular curriculum of the University. Whilst the Senate does not see its way as yet to recommend the discontinuance of classical instruction in the college, and whilst its aim will certainly be to have this department conducted with all efficiency, so long ns the church deems its continuance advisable, the fact that from year to year an increas- ingly large proportion of our candidates for tlie ministry enter upon the regular oourseof the University cannot be regarded with regret. Mr. Straith reports that the Senior Greek Class read Homer's Odyssey, B.'xxi. and Demos, Phil. i. and ii. The Junior Class read Xen. Anab. B. V: Ch. 1-5. Attention was also given in both classes to the Greek Grammar. Mr. Hamilton reports that the Senior Latin Class, consisting of the second and third year's students read Cicero, Pro Ligario, and the third book of the Odea of Horace. APPENDIX. 177 The Janior class read the fourth book of the Georgios of Virgil. Attention was bostowod upon Latin prose composition, and in the Junior class especially upon Latin Grammar. Both tutors express satisfaction with the attendance and diligence of the students under their care, and with their progress in study. The Students' Metaphysicaii and Litebary Society prosecuted its work with great zeal during the past session. This society is beUeved to be of much ser- vice in training the students to pubUc speaking, as well as in extending their acquaintance with literary and philosophical subjects, aud in cultivating a literary taste. The Report of the Students' Missionaby^Society is interesting and encourage- ing, and shews that many fields which the church, in her other agencies, was least able to overtake, have been zealously cultivated by this society. The Senate is sincerely glad that our candidates for the ministry seem generally possessed by a missionary spirit, and are willing to endure hardness fur the Master's sake ; and would beg to express, along with the students, their gratification with the interest evinced in this society by several congregations of the Church in assisting it financially. It is hoped that there will never be wanting among the students of the Church, those who shall hold themselves ready to go to any part of the field, home or foreign, where the Head of the church may call them to labour. The Monthly Satubday Puayer-Meeting was well attended ; as also the weekly meetings for prayer among the students. The health of the students during the session was on the whole, good; but several of them were visited with bereavement, and two students in the Literary Department have been prevented from being present at the closing examinations by the death of near relations. May God's dealings In all these case:) be sanctified to increase of piety and devotedness. The Senate is gratified to know that the New College Buildings are now almost completed, and that we can now count upon entering them at the com- mencement of next session. It is hoped that the comfort of the students will be much promoted by removal to the New College, and in many respacts greater faciUties secured for prosecuting the work of study. It is not necessary to ask the attention of the College Board to the necessity of considering very deliberately the whole question of the internal economy of the new building, with the view of introducing such improvements on the present sys- tem as may be suggested by the experience of similar institutions, and which our increased accomodation will render it possible to adopt. The Senate in taking fai'ewell, as it were, of the old College, would not fail to remember with thankfulness all that this Church has been enabled, during her occupancy of the present building, to accomplish in the matter of providing an educated ministry, and would earnestly pray that He who has given us enlargement in the outward and material, would vouchsafe greatly to bless our endeavours to promote theological education, and would raise up among us many able and devoted ministers of the gospel.

TurnhulL No students competed for the scholarship offered in the fourth year, and tha second scholarship in the third yeai' was divided equally between Mr. Bryoe and Mr. McKenzie. The Board entertains a growing conviction of the beneficial effects of this scheme, now in successful operation for so many years, and would gladly sen it mor« liberally sustained by the stronger congregations and the wealthier members of the Church. Oooke's Church and Gould Street Church, Toronto, St. Andrew's Church, Lon- don, Zion Church, Brantford, and friends connected with the various congregations in Hamilton, have been the principal contributors to the scheme durinK the past year. It is believed that most, if not all of these, will renew their contributions during the present year, and others have already proffered assistance. In these cir- cumstances the Board thooghfe itself warranted in announcing ten scholarships as the number to be competed for in October next. It is proper to state that in most oases, where application has been made to congregations to contribute to the scheme, it has met a ready and willing response. n. — STUDENTS IN THE PBEPARATORT COURSE OP KNOX COLLEGE. The number of students who presented them^jelves for examination in the be- ginning of October with a view of entering the preparatory classes in Knox College was five, viz. : — George McKay and T. Glendinning, to whom was assigned the stand- ing of students of the second year, and John Knox Wright, J. McDiarmid, and M. McGregor, who were placed in the first year. It will be observed that the number of entrants is this year smaller than it has been for some years previous. This would be a matter for deep regret, did it in- dicate a decrease in the number entering on the preparatory course of study for the work of the ministry in our Church. The Boaf d has good reason for believing that this is not the case. It is Pimnly due to a circumstance which cannot but be gratifying to the General Asssembly, that a much larger proportion of the candidates are in the western part of the country seeking their preparatory training aa fidly matricnlated students in University College, Toronto. All the students in the preparatory course were examined by the Board inlJatin ftpd Greek at the close of the ses'tion. The result of the examination testified favcHrably alike to the efficiency of the teaching in this department and to the dili- gence of the students. M 180 APPENDIX* , ■ \ > ( Two Btadenta were compelled, by the death of near relntivea, to leave Toronto- some days before the examinations took place. Taking the whole oiroumstanoes- into account, the Board agreed to give to these students the standing to which thqr would have been entitled on passing the examinations prescribed by the Board. Oertificates were presented from the Professors in University College by the students in the various years, attesting regularity of attendance on the preaoribed classes, and such acquaintance with the subject as entitled them to pass, in some cases with honour in the various departments. The names of the students in the preparatory course, with the standing as- signed them, will be found in the report of the Senate, and need not be repeated in this report ni. — STUOBNTS IN THE THEOLOQIOAL OOUBBE. Of the twelve students entering on the study of Theology in October, nearly all were entitled to exemption from examination, either as possessing the degree of B.A. or M.A., or as having completed the preparatory course at Knox College, and passed the terminal examinations connected therewith. Mr. Nichol was admitted to the study of Theology, by a special resolution of the General Assembly in his case, after having attended one year in the preparatory course. Mr. Goldie was examined in Latin, Greek, and Philosophy, and several students, who had either not taken Hebrew in their University course, or were competitors for the scholarships given to entrants on Theology, were examined in this language. The scholarship was gained by Mr. Daniel Beattie. The closing examinations in the theological course were conducted as in former years by the Senate and the Board acting conjointly ; a member of the Board being, in each case, associated with the Professor in the department in which the examin- ation took place. These examinations were, on the whole, highly satisfactory. In only one case wan it found necessary to require re-examination if the student was' to get the standing to which he would have been naturally entitled ; while in several results were of the most gratifying kind. The names of the students who obtained their full standing in the several years, and of those who, in addition, gained the scholarships connected with the terminal examinations, having been already sub- mitted In the report of the Senate, are not given here. The Board would bear tes- mony to the good effect produced by the scholarships provided by liberal friends of the College, and now very generally connected with these closing examinations^ There is still room for additions to their number. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN M. KING, ' Chairman of Board of Examiners^ -y REPORl' of tne BOARD of MANAGEMENT of the PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, MONTREAL. The Board of Management of the Presbyterian College of Montreal, beg here- with to transmit to the General Assembly the reports of the Senate and Board of Examiners, with the Treasurer's Financial Statement, and to submit the following: From the report of the Senate there appears a gratifying increase in the num- ber of students upon the roll of the college, the whole number in the Theological and Literary departments, being ffty -three, of whom seventeen are preparing for French work. The Board regret that the lesigu. Uon of the Bev. Daniel Coussirat, A.M., B.D., and his removal to France, have deprived the College of his valuable services M French Professor of Theology, and desire to place on record their appreciation of the manner in which he discharged his important duties in that capacity. The call to Halifax, of the Bev. B. F. Burns, D.D., has caused his resignation as Chair- man of the board, an office which he conscientiously and efficiently filled, and from which he could ill be spared. ai A E A E tfa CI APPEKDIX. 181 Two efforts have been made daring the past year to reduce the debt upon the College Building Fund, one by the Rev. Principal McVicar, assisted in part by Pro - feasor Campbell and Messrs. Warden King and Laird Paton, resulting in snbscrip- tions to the amount of $3,410.96; the other by the Rev. John MoEwan, of Pembroke, who generously responded to the call of the Board, placing his services at their dis- posal without remuneration, resulting in subscriptions to the amount of 91,038.50. The balance due on the Building Fund at this date is 96,285.83 . It will be seen that the contributions for ordinary revenue, as compared with the expenditure, there is a deficit of 91,163.11, which, but for the gen«;rous response of several congregations to a special appeal of the Board, would have been mnoh greater. The increased liabilties of this Fund, incident upon the increased efficiency of the College, have not been met by a corresponding improvement in the amount of contributions in consequence of the smallness of the constituency from which the revenue is derived. The Board venture to express a hope that, in view of the im- portant service rendered by the College, which derives its students from every quarter of the Church, and sends forth ministers into many parts of its wide field, some more liberal provision may be made for its maintenance in the future. It is the gratifying duty of the Board to intimate to the Assembly, the moiiifi- cent donation to the library of the college, by Peter Bedpath, Esq., of Montreal, of the invaluable Patrologia of the Abbe Migne, now preparing and on the way, eon* sisting of 382 volumes, containing the works of the Greek and Latin Fathers, and tales of Ecclesiastical Writers, fully bound and bearing the College arms ; and the valuable gift of 245 volumes in Modern Theology and general literature from the Hon. Justice Torrance. BSCOMHBNDATIOMS. The following recommendations are submitted : 1. That the matter of determining the basis of the future annual income of the Montreal College be remitted to the consideration of a Committee of the General^ Assembly. ' 2. That the Bev. John Scrimger, M. A., of St. Joseph's Street Church, Montreal, who has efficiently discharged his duties as Lecturer in Greek and Hebrew Ex^esis during the past year, be re-appointed for the following session, at a salary, as before, of 9500. 3. That the Board not being prepared to recommend a successor to Professbr Coussirat, be empowered to continue their efforts towards this end, and that in the meantime, the Assembly direct the Senate to provide suitable instruction for the French Students under its care ; the amount to be expended for the same not to ex- ceed 9500. All of which is respectfully submitted. P. W. TORRANCE, Chairman, pro tern. REPORT of the SENATE of the PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, MONTREAL. SESSION 1874-75. STAFF OF IKBIBUCTOKS. Rev. D. H.

The Board of Management, In accordance with the instruotibns of the General Assembly, toolc steps to remove the College from Kildoiian to Winnipeg. The amount of debt on the old College being i$l,H)I4.71, was assumed by tlie College Board. The 91,600 of a loan from the endowment Fund, was obtained, and so much of the debt discharged. The Board has paid up the interest of this.loan, and hopes, as soon as time and circumstances permit, to obtain apsistanco from friends of the College in several places to pay it off. The balanoe of 8124.71 was paid, along with other old accounts , amounting to 9377.86, from Ordinary Revenue, and all such claims are, so far as known to the Board, extinguished. Steps have been taken to convey the old College building to the congregation at Kildonftn. The Board, though authorized by the Assembly to purchase a building to which reference liad been made, believing it to be entirely in harmony with the wislies of the Assembly, rented the building for a year, and the rent is paid up to the end of tlie financial year. Various changes and repairs were found necessary to adapt this building to the wants of the College ; and toward this and other furnishings, in which tlie College was very deficient, was devoted the sum of 9.S93, contributed by friends of the College in New Brunswick and Nova Seotia, less 958.04 share of travelUng expenses. The report of the Senate herewith transmitted, will state the condition of matters entrusted to that body. As to the general condition of the College, the Board has to report that this has been in' every respect the most prosperous year in the history of the College. The capacity of the building would only permit eight or ten boarders, and in consequence a number were refused. The number of regular students was, including boarders, between thirty and forty. Though a year of financial dnlness in the country, the amounts of 9838 paid for fees, and 9787.96 t&t board daring the six months reported, indicates a prosperous state of affairs in the College. The Board feel there must be an advance. The present building is entirely inadequate for tlie wants of the College. Since the Board took up the sub- ject of accoimnodation, a building suitable has been offered. This building is a substantial building, well finished, and on account of the financial pressure, is offered . — Power, T.; Henderson, L.; Romans, W.; Clark, W.; Brown, F.; ok, 2; Nova Sootia, 1; England, 2; Germany 1. ^t-UJ-HlJ- WWWW Ai'i'KNDIX. 189 KX4MIMATI0NB. "he examinations Were held at the appointed times in December and March, And were conducted with the usual amount of strictness and thoroughness. Most •of the students examined reached the standard roquired, and a good proportion at- tained to a considerable degree of excellence. According to the plan adopted by the Oeneral Assembly, the three young men Messrs. Poison, Enipe, and Duncan were •examined in all the subjects laid down in the curriculum for their first year, and the •examiners appointed by the Presbytery of Manitoba, reported favourably regarding them. As to Messrs. Poison and Duncan, the Senate has nothing but unqualified flatisfaction to express of their dihgence and zeal, and the action of the Presbytery in appointing them to labour in the mission field during the summer months, seems "to show the high wisdom of the Assembly in placing these young men under instruc- tion in the College. MEDALS, BVBQABIBS AND PBIZE8. 'i'ho Senate had pleasure in reporting last year that His Excellency, the Gover- nor-deneral, had expressed his intention of giving to the College a silver medal. The successful competitor was Mr. W. Black, who has since entered "^^he second year of the University of Toronto, with honours. Mr. Black was also a\'arded the rvth Form Bursary of ?40. His Excellency was also pleased to give a Bronze Medal, .-and the " Governor General's Medal " having been given for General Proficiency, the Bronze Medal, called " Dufferin Mathematical Medal," was awarded to Mr. George Munroe, who stood highest in the finishing class of Mathematics. The Senate has •expressed to Lord Dufferin its appreciation of the high honour conferred on the College by the gift of the Silver and Bronze Medals. The prize in books of the IVth Form was taken by Mr. Alexander Sutherland, who has entered he University of Toronto, in Company with Mr. idlack. The Senate has to record its satisfaction that two students of the College have, so soon in its history, gone on to finish their tcourse in the seats of higher learning. In Form HI, the Bursary of ^40 was taken by W. R. Sutherland, who is preparing for the University of Toronto. In Form U, the Eursary of $20 was taken by S. Poison, one of the Theologicisd students, and the prize in books by F. H. Enipe. In Form I, James Maovicar received the prize in books. The two prizes in Elocution and Beading were taken respectively by R. G. McBeth :and James Black. The Senate would respectfully urge upon friends in the older Provinces through, ihe Assembly, the necessity for assisting the work the College is doing in the North- west, by contributing a few bursaries for the enoour: gement of the students. jaurie, ?ergu- rison, iBon, 1.

The student's Literary Society has been carried on with vigour, and advantage "has been taken of it by the theological students, and by others having the Church or flome of the learned professions in view. COLLEGE ACCOMMODATION. The Senate beg to state that, on account of the limited accommodation afforded hy the present building, it has not been possible to conduct the classes with the ease and advantage desirable. Not only is more boarding accommodation needed, but better class rooms must be provided if the college is to do its work with efficiency. The Senate trusts the Assembly will give a favourable reception to the request of the Board of Management, and if possible in view of union and of the important in- terests involved, give a free grant to aid in the expanding college work of the north- west. All of which ie respectfully aubmitted. GEOKGE BRTGE, Chairman of Stnatt, l&o APPENDIX. MANITOBA COLLEGE. BKCKIPT8.

SINCLAIR. REPORT of the COMMITTEE on the SUBJECT of TEMPERANCE. Your Committet regret that they are not able to report a larger amount of work actually, done, during the past year, for the suppression of the groat and growing evil of intemperance. No single form of vice seems to be so extensive in its influence, so demoralizing in its effects, so expensive to the community, to involve 80 many interests, and so difficult to suppress, as this monster evil. It is the fruitful source of most of the poverty and crime that afflict our land. It would not be too much to say, that if all drinking of intoxicating Hquors could be done away, crime of every kind would fall to one-fourth of its present amount, and the whole tone of moral feeling in the community might be indefinitely raised. Not only does this vice produce all kind of wanton mischief, but it has a negative effect of great importance. It is the mightiest of all the forces that clog the progress of good. It is in vain that every engine is set to work that religion and philanthropy can devise, when those whom we seek to benefit are habitually tampering with their faculties of reason, will, and moral action, and rendering themselves unfit for spiritual worship or benevolent work. The struggle of the School, the Library and the Ohurchj all nnited against the saloon, taVdrn and distillery, is but one development of the war between heaven and hell. It is the cursed traffic that fills our gaols, our lunatio asylums, our penitentiaries, and workhouses; and were it not for this one canm*, pauperism would be nearly extinguished from our land. We Me oonvinoed that if a statesman or philanthropist, who heartily wished to do the utmost possible good to bii country, were thoughtfully to enquire which of the topics of the day deserved APPXNDIX. :m 00 00 96 28 00 54 00 00 i 7& of I work Wing \n its yolve the not |iway, vlaole [does ireat It kvise, lea of bhip aU war |he most intense and unremitting attention, tbe true reply —the reply that would be expected by full deliberation — would b« ^at h0 should study the means by which this worst of piques might be stayed. The intellectual, the moral, the material, and the religious welfare of our people, their national comforts, their domestio happiness, are all involved. The question is, whether milhoDs of our countrymen shall be helped to become happier and wiser, whether multitudes of men, women, and children shall be aided to escape from utter ruin of body and soul ? or whether they shall be allowed to sink down into pauperism, lunacy, disease, crime and eternal ruin. Surely no true Christian qan for a moment doubt as to the scale into which he should cast his indueuoe, or the cause for ^vhieh he should heartily labour and pray. In the month of March last the following petition, signed by the Moderator And Clerk of the Assembly, was sent to the Qovernor Qeueral, and the Senate and House of Commons at Ottawa : — THE PETITION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE CANADA PBESBYTERIAN CHURCH, HUMBLY SHEWETH:— That your petitioners view with the greatest apprehension the alarming extent of Intemperance throughout the Dominion, consequent upon the facilities afforded for the sale of intoxicating Uquors. That the most careful enquiries into the causes of pauperism, immorality and crime, in this and in other countries, shew that a very large pro- porportion, probably not less than three-fourths of these evils, arise from the traffic in strong drinks. That your petitioners are deeply impressed with the enormous evils of Intemperance which now afflict our young and rising country. Every year gives increased force to their conviction that it is the chief cause of poverty and crime, disease and death throughout our land, that it is the principal occasion of dis- cipline in the Church of God, and that there exists no more formidable obstacle to the spread of the Gospel in this Dominion. That the history of Legislation in regard to the Liquor Traffic, conclusively proves that the evils referred to cannot be successfully repressed so long as the traffic is licensed and protected by law. "Wherefore your petitioners humbly pray that your Honourable House may be pleased to pass an Act prohibiting the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating Liquors throughout the Dominion of Canada. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. Petitions from individuals and corporations representing in the aggregate a population of not less than 500,060 persons, were presented to the Government at Ottawa last winter, praying for a Prohibitory Liquor Law, and that the system of regulating it by License laws has proved ineffectual to check intemperance, and itherefore they pray for the aboUtion of the Traffic as the only effectual remedy. On no other political or social question ever submitted to Parliament in this country or in Great Britain, has there been so large a number of petitioners, in proportion to the population, affording so marked an expression of public opinion in its favour. As a result of these petitions, sent in this and previous years, our Government has been led to take some action, and to give a very decided judgment on the Liquor Traffic. In the year 1874 His Excellency the Governor-General appointed two Commissioners to visit the States of the neighbouring Union in whicli the Prohibi- tory laws are, or have been in force, to make enquiry into the success which had Attended the working of such laws, and to report thereon, as well as on other . essential facts connected with the same." In the prosecution of their enquiry those Gommivsioners visited six States, and report in substance the following : — '* That the Prohibitory Law of the States of Maine and Vermont has been well enforced, and has largely diminished crime and 2>auperi8m, and that its beneficial effects upon the community have been so fully proved by the experience of over twenty years, that there is now no attempt made to repeal it ; while the other States visited — although the law was not so generally enforced — wherever it was brought into full operation, the same result of diminu- tion of crime invariably followed. lu the cases where the Prohibitory Law was for I 192 APPENDIX. a short time rejected, intemperance and crime immediately increased in so marked a degree that Prohibition was soon re-enaoted. In taking action on this Beport,. the Senate, at its last Session, makes the fol- lowing declaration : — " That the constitutionality of such a law, and its necessity for the protection: of life and property, and preservation of the peace, has not only been recognized by the legislation of former years, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors at certaia times and places, but has been fully affirmed by this Parliament at its last Session, in the enactment of the stringent Prohibitory Law now in force over our vast North-west Territory, and by the Act of the present Session to consolidate the laws respecting the North-west Territories. "Thut in view of all these facts and considerations, it appears that the time has now arrived when the attention of the Government should be given to this im- portant question, with the view to the introduction of a bill to prohibit the manu- facture, importation, and sale of intoxicating Uquors (except for mechanical an J medicinal purposes), throughout the Dominion, at the earUest date compatible with the public interest." The House of Commons, after a full discussion of the whole subject passed the following resolution by a vote of 72 to 9 : — " That having regard to the beneficial e£fects arising from Prohibitory Liquor Laws in those States of the American Union, where the same are fuUy carried out, this House is of the opinion that the most effectual remedy for the evils of Intem- perance would be to prohibit the manufacture, importation and sale of intoxicating liquors." In looking at these declarations, both of the Senate and House of (Commons, your Committee rejoice, that although no very decided step has yet been taken for the removal of the great national curse of intemperance, yet they are able to congratulate the Assembly that their oft repeated testimony in favour of prohibition has been fully endorsed by the country through their representatives at Ottawa, and they long and pray that this approval may, ere long, take a more decided and practical form. In closing their report your Committee beg to offer to the General Assembly for their adoption, the following recommendations : — I. That the following testimony or declaration of principles be adopted by this Assembly : — 1. That the TrafBc in Intoxicating Liquors to be used as a beverage is, in the judgment of this Assembly, morally wrong, and ought to be viewed as such by the Churches of Jesus Christ throughout the world. 2. That it is our opinion that the liquor trafSc is the greatest external barrier to the progress of the Church of Christ ; that it robs the Church of ministers, members and adherents, and neutraUzes, to a great extent, the influence of our Sabbath School and Church work. We would therefore urge upon all our members, adherents and officials, the practice of total abstinence, and the adoption of right measures for the lessening of the fearful evils of intemperance. We would also express our conviction of the necessity of a Prohibitory Liquor Law, and recommend that all legitimate means be used to secure its enactment. 3. That this Assembly earnestly recommends, as far as practicable, the forming of temperance societies in the congregations and Sabbath Schools under their care, a» expressing disapprobation of intemperance in the strongest and most efficient man- ner, and making the most available resistance to this destructive and wide spread- ing evil. That as friends of the cause of temperance this Assembly rejoice to lend the force of their example to the cause, as an ecclesiastical body, by an entire absti- nence themselves from tlie use of aident spirits. , II. The Assembly recommends that the ministers of this church call the atten- tion of their people from time to time, as circumstances may seem to demand, to the evils of intemperance and the importance of earnest and prayerful effort for their removal. III. That the following Ust of queries be sent down to sessions and congrega- tions : — 1. What is the proportion of p'aces where liquor is sold as a beverage to the whole ropulation in your miuicipality. APPENDIX i9d 2. What is the proportion of confirmed dmnkards in your mnuioipality to thfl whole population. 8. How many oases of discipline hare you had daring the past year, arising out of intemperance ? 4. Is the pastor a total abstainer T 5. What proportion of the elders are total abstainers ? What proportion of the deacons or managers ? What proportion of the members ? 6. Have you a temperance society connected with the church or Sabbath school? 7. Are intemperance and the use of liquor as a beverage increasing or dimin< ishing within the bounds of your congregation ? 8. Are you in favour of a prohibitory liquor law? How many of your congre< gation would vote against it. IV. That this Assembly petition the Legislatures of Ontario and Quebec : — 1. To separate the Liquor traffic from the grocery business. 2. To abolish entirely the licensing of saloons. 3. To alter the present statute so that one, or at most two, convictions of vio- lating the license law shall be deemed sufficient to cancel the license. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN SMITH, CoHvcnef. jarner ulsters, I of our Imbers, right lid also imend brtning late, as niiiiu- LpreaA- \o lend absti- latten- Ind, to \ti for Igrega- Itoihe REPORT of COMMITTEE on LEGISLATION. The Committee appointed by the General Assembly in June 1874 : " To obtain necessary legal advice, and to take such steps as may be deemed proper for making application to the several Provincial Legislatures for such legislation as may be necessary for the conveyance of property to the United Church," and which was instructed at the adjourned meeting of Assembly in November in 1874, "to perfect the work, and take the proper steps to secure the necessary Legislation in the Dominion and Local Legislature," beg to report as follows: — Your committee, acting in concert with a similar committee, appointed by the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in connection with the Church of Scotland, prepared drafts of two acts, one for the Province of Ontario, and the other for the Province of Quebec. The necessary notices of intention to apply for these acts were also given. As soon as the act had been introduced into the Legislature of Ontario, a suit was instituted in the Court of Chancery in the name of one of the opponents of the Union, connected with the other Church, against the Moderator aiui Clerk of that Synod, seeking by injunction to restrain them from applying to parliament for legislation. There was not sufficient time for your committee to meet and consult as to what course should be pursued, but the convener considering that although the chancery proceedings were directed only against the authorities of the other church, yet, if successful, Union would be for a time delayed, took upon himself to advise with, and did so far as he could, the defendants in their defence. The defence offered was successful, the court refusing to interfere. When the act was referred by the Legislative Assembly to the committee of Private Bills, the Convener appeared before the committee as promoter of the Bill. * It met with considerable opposition from the same parties who had instituted pro- ceedings in Chancery, and sworn znva voce evidence had to be adduced in support of the preamble. The committee however, unanimously reported in favour of the bill, passed the third reading in the House without a division, and in duo course received the assent of the Lieutenant-Governor. In the Province of Quebec the introduction of the Act into the Legislature was taken charge of by the committee nppointed by the Synod of the other Church. The most strenuous opjjosition was offered by the opponents of Union connected with the other Church there also. 194 APFKNDIX. After passing through the Legislative AsBembly, an adverse report was made by the Private Bills committee of th^ Legislative council. The opinion of both churches, both in Ontario and Quebec, having hfen unmistakably pronounced In favour of the bill, a reooQstderation of the report was ordered by the Oounoil, and a report of the bill obtained ; it ultimately passed and became law. In the Acts passed, both in Ontario and Qofsbeo, a few alteraUonB were made in the Oommittees of the Legislatures, but none of these are material. Indeed, in Ontario, all the alterations made, except one, were proposed by the Convener a« being improvements. The one he did not propose is the change of a clause, which the joint oommittees agreed to allow in the event of opposition. The clause itself a» it DOW stands, is the one in the Draft-aot originally prepared by youroom- mittee. An act was also pr^>ared far the Frovinoa of Manitoba, and has there been passed and assented to In the Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, it is believed Legislation has been obtained, but your committee are tmable to give any definite or official information oti the subject. Copies of the Draft-acts prepared for Ontario and Quebec, were in November last, sent to the Moderators of the Synods in the Maritime Provinces, with a request that drafts of their proposed Acts should be sent to your committee. None were sent. Subsequent and repeated requests for copies of the acts as passed have failed to produce any reply from the authorities of these Synods. By the kindness of Dr. Waters of St. John, your committee have obtained a copy of the act passed in New Brunswick at the instance of the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces and a draft of an act proposed by the same church in Nova Scotia. The Church of the Maritime Provinces, it is understood, apphed in both these Provinces for separate Legislation, but your committee do not know with what result. No appUeation has. been made to the Dominion Parliament, as legal o{>inions were given that the Legislation required there can properly be obtained only after the Union has actually taken place. Thanks are due to the ^on. J. G. Gurrie and James Bethune, Esquire, for their services in the Legislature of Ontario ; to the Hon. George Bryson and Dr. Cameron in the Legislative Coui^cil and Assembly of Quebec, and to the Hon. Mr, Davis in M anitoba . All of which is respectfully submitted, T. W. TAYLOR, Convener. REPORT on HOME and FOREIGN RECORD. Your committee beg to report that the circulation of the Home and Foreign Hecorcf ha-B largely increased during the past year. In order to diffuse information of the various schemes of our church among our people, with a view to deepen their interest in the same, and increase their liberaUty in support thereof, your committee in this report, two years ago, suggested that sessions and congregations be recommended to take the Record in quantities, instead of individuals getting it singly as formerly ; and that the price be reduced to twenty-five cents per annum, when taken in quantities. Your com'r mittee rejoice to find that the adoption of these recommendations by the Assembly has been attended with very gratifying results. The curculatien in 1873 was 8,000 ; in 1874 it increased to 12,600 ; now it i^ 14,600, an increase of 6,400 over the circulation of 1878. The receipts including balance from last year amounted to 93,316.15, and th^ expenditure, $3,228.27, leaving balance of 887.88. Your committee being convinced that much of the increased liberality iq support of old schemes of the church, is largely owing to the diffusion of mia-t sionary intelligence among our people, by means of the Record^ would repeat the recommendations of their last report, namely : — 1. That sessions and boards of management be urgently recommendei to :Bapply every family in their respective congregations with a copy of the Record, lade both 1 in nd ft nade id, in er a9 Thicb itself «om- been lation )fficial ember with a nittee.

All of which is respectfully submitted, D. H. FLETCHER, Convener. REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE. I. — ASSEMBLY FUND. The Committee have to report that, shortly after the Assembly held in Juno last, they met for the purpose of carrying out the recommendations of the Aseembly as to the mode of raising the amount required for the Assembly Fund. They formed an estimate of the amount that would be required, estimating it at »3,600. They sought to equalize the membership, making allowance for non-reporling congregations. They allocated the amount required among the several Presbyteries on the basis of seven cents per member, increasing the rate to eight cents in the case of one Presbytery, and reducing it to six cents in the case of three of the smaller Presby- teries. The actual expense was somewhat above the estimate ; but had all the Presby- , teries contributed according to the amounts allocated to them, the deficiency would have been but small. The following table shows the amount allocated to the several Presbyteries, and the amount received. Presbytery. ASBOBEimOUt. Rocoived.
