 To the Parishioners of St. Luke's Cathedral and Parish 
 Church : \ 
 
 Two years have passed since I was inducted by the 
 Bishop as your Rector, two happy and peaceful years, wliich 
 have been full of joy and satisfaction to me. Desiring to 
 %\VQ you an account of the work done in the Parish during 
 these two years, and to draw your attention to what we hope 
 to do in the future, let me first express my profound grati- 
 tude to God for His blessing upon us, and upon our efforts, 
 and my hearty thanks to you for your active co-operation, 
 and your many kindnesses shown to me and mine. How 
 great have been the privileges which we have enjoyed. 
 First and foremost the greatest of all privileges, the show- 
 ing forth and pleading every day of the Blessed Memorial of 
 our Lord's Eternal Sacrifice. As Job of old offered burnt 
 ott'fefrings for his children " continually," and as the Lord 
 ordained in His Church that the lamb should be sacrificed 
 daily in the Temple for His people, so is the whole congre- 
 gation sanctified and blessed by the daily offering of the 
 Memorial of the Blessed Sacrifice of the " Lamb of God that 
 taketh away the sins of the wor'd." And although it be 
 true that only a few value and use the privilege of this 
 daily Communion, yet through this offering " continually " 
 we are brought " nigh unto God," and our worship hallowed 
 by union with ** Angels and Archangels and all the Hosts 
 I of Heaven in lauding and magnifying" our heavenly king. 
 J But, if it may be, we are not yet able to hold this sweet 
 Icornm union with our Lord daily, let us try to realize and 
 Irei^iember that the Church never ceases pleading for us the 
 
Menioi'i.il wliich Ho lias coiiiniandod, ami let us try to (it 
 our.selves for daily coninumion with lliiii hereafter, hy at 
 least a conununion with Him on the day He has liallowed 
 and made j^dorious hy His resurrection, the first day of the 
 week, which we call the Lord's Day. 
 
 Secondly, let me remind you of the privilege of dail// 
 Morning and Evening Prayer. How .sad it is to see so few 
 meet in the House of our Father to seek His ble>singou the 
 new day, or to give Him thanks for its mercies. Surelv 
 there are many niore than those eight or ten faithful ones, 
 who could, if the f/ would, spare the 20 minutes to come to 
 Morning and Evening Prayers. What lots of time can be 
 found lor amusement, for idle visiting, tfec, &c , hut the 
 children of God can find no time to worship Him. How i.g 
 it that in Lent so many can find their way to God's house, 
 but at no other time 1 Is then going to Church a ])enance, 
 a mortification of the flesh, a thing to be practiced only as a 
 Lenten discipline 1 Surely that is to mistake the true idea 
 of worship, it is contrary to the teaching of the Spirit who 
 cries " I was glad when they said unto me we will go into' 
 the House of the Lord." Well might the Lord say, " Where 
 are my children?" My dear Parishioners, let me urge youi 
 affectionately to esteem more highly this privilege of daily 
 prayer, and to use the House of your Father more frequently 
 as a House of Prayer Bring thither your daily needs, your 
 daily blessings, and let God sanc*'fy and bless them and you. 
 
 The work accomplished in connection with the Church 
 ■will be referred to under the various branches of Guild 
 Work. The Rev. Mr. Allison continued to hold the posi- 
 tion of Assistant Minister until Jan., 1894, when, owing* to 
 the state of his health he was obliged to seek a milder climite. 
 The Eector has been without a regular assistant since fliis

 ches of Guild 
 hold the posi- 
 hen, owing' to 
 milder climfte. 
 Slant since fhij^ 
 
 departui'o, hut the valuable services of the Rev. Dr. Hullock 
 were secured for the Sundays. About the middle of Janu- 
 ary the Hector was obliged to give U|) all parocliiul work, 
 nnd was coniined to the house with bronchial trouble until 
 Ash Wednesday. During his illness, the Dean, Dr. 
 ]>ullock, and Mr. Willis most kindly took the services lor 
 hiin. The Rj^ctor also gratefully ackuou'ledges the assistance 
 of the Rev. Mr. Ruggles and others ou various occasions. The 
 S(;rvices at the Missions of St. Alban's and St. Augustine's 
 have been faithfully sustained on the Sunday evenings by 
 %\\e Lay Readers, Messrs. lirowu, Bowman, W'iswoli and 
 ]*'enn. 
 
 There are two or three things to which I desire particu- 
 larly to draw the attention ol' the congregation, in the hope 
 that by their active co operation they may be accomplished iu 
 the near future. First there is the debt upon the (Jliuich, a 
 debt incurred chieHy in the putting in a new roof and 
 making alterations in the nave of the Church some few 
 years ago. This debt consists of a mortgage of S5,000, on 
 which we are paying 5 per cent interest. Surely we ought 
 not to rest content until that debt is paid. Provision was 
 made in the estimates last Easter to set aside $250 towards 
 a Sinking Fund, but if this is all that we do, it will be a 
 long time before the debt is paid, and in the meantime we are 
 ])aying an equal amount in interest The Rector started a 
 6c. Fund in connection with the debt in October, 1893, and 
 although this etibrt was not taken up as generally as I hoped 
 by the congregation, it will realise upwards of $800 by the end 
 of the year. I hope that this fall more ladies will offer 
 theuLselves as collectors for this fund, and another year will 
 see a larger sum raised by this means. Then there is also 
 the debt upon the Rectory, consisting oi two mortgages, one 
 
 mmm 
 
 ■■M 
 
8 
 
 > \ 
 
 for $4,000 at 5 per cent., and the other for $1,500 at 6 per 
 cent. ; but as the Kector pays $400 per annum rent for the 
 Kectory, this more than covers the interest and taxes, so that 
 it is no direct ex]»ense to tlie congregation. Nevertheless, it 
 would be advisable to pay off this debt also as soon as pos- 
 sible, and then it would really become a Kectory and belong 
 to the Church. During tlie summer of 1895, an addition 
 was built to St. Luke's Hall, for the building of which $1,500 
 was borrowed on mortgage at 4 per cent, but such favour 
 able terms were secured in connection with the arrangement, 
 that in the course of five years, the rental of the rooms will 
 repay one half of the amount borrowed. 
 
 Another object which should secure the immediate atten- 
 tion and financial assistance of the con2frej?ation is the 
 purchase of a now Organ. Ever since 1 entered upon my 
 Kectorate this subject has been before us, and soon after 
 Easter, 1894, % subcommittee of the vestry was formed to 
 take the matter in hand and sec what could be done. The 
 Committee set to work energetically to canvass and ask for 
 subscriptions, and they have met with fair success, but the 
 sum promised is still far from adequate for the purpose. 
 The old Organ is not such an one as the Cathedral Church of 
 St. Luke should possess, and the Committee hope that gen- 
 erous subscriptions on the part of all members of St. Luke's 
 will enable them before another ye'xv passes away to order a 
 fine and noble instrument suitable to the Cathedral of the 
 first Colonial Diocese of the Church of England, and worthy 
 of the high office of worship for which it is designed. The 
 amount asked for is $6,000, towards which sum upwards of 
 $1,500 or one fourth, is already promised. Are there not 
 some who will give generously to this object 1 One lamented 
 member of the congregation has left by will $250, the late 
 
9 
 
 f^' 
 
 I 
 
 ij 
 
 \ 
 
 l^ector, ihe Kev. W. F>. King, has proinisod SIOO, another 
 gentleman has subscribed S40, as a Memorial to a dear little 
 child gone to Paradise; are there not others who have loved 
 ones in Paradise who will follow this example ] How mucli 
 more useful and fitting is such a Memorial, than a mere stone 
 of marble erected over the grave, of no use to either th.e 
 dead or the living. 
 
 Another object wo hope to accomplish in the near future 
 is the erection of St. Augustine's Chapel across the North 
 West Arm. For this pur|>ose the late Kector laboured ear- 
 nestly, and left behind him $000 in cash, besides stone pur- 
 chased for tiie buihliug. The original design, however, 
 proved too expensive, and the r)uilding Committee of the 
 Vestry are now seeking to obtain a more simple and suit- 
 able design for the Chapel, and it is hoped that St. Augus- 
 tine's will be built and ready for use before another year 
 passes. 
 
 A brief history of St. Luke's, and an account of the work 
 accomplished during the years 1892-4, are ])resented to the 
 congregation, in the hope, that what has already been accom- 
 plished by God's blessing may not only prove an interesting 
 recital, but also an incentive and encouragement to fresh 
 efibrts in the future. " Let us do good unto all men and 
 specially unto tliem that are of the household of faith," says 
 the Apostle. The Church of St. Luke is our particular 
 '* household of ftiith," and it ought to be therefore the special 
 care and interest of every member of the congregation, from 
 the least to the greatest. It should be our greatest joy to 
 make its services more beautiful, and its labours more 
 abundant, and its beneficent influences more widespread and 
 effective year by year. Let us then each and all " pray for 
 the peace of * our ' Jerusalem," and lend our aid in every 
 
 <-^ 
 
r 
 
 10 
 
 way that lies in our power with hand and purse also. ' to 
 make ' our ' Jeiusaleni a praise in the earth," tliat not only 
 to us as UKhviduals, but also as a congregation, our Lord and 
 AJaster may say at the last, '• Well done "

 June 1st, 1846, j\Ir. Cogswell iutiniated that he was willing 
 to submit the report of a committee appointed to build a 
 Chapel of Ease, the consideration of such a report was 
 objected to on tiie ground " ihat the Parish had no control 
 whatever over the matter," 
 
 Mr. Cogswell, however, seems to have gone on with the 
 matter himself and to have begun the erection of a Chapel 
 on the prevsent site of St. Luke's, with the idea, as it seems, 
 that the Chapel should be served by his son, the Eev. \Vm. 
 Cogswell, then Curate of St. Paul's, and perhaps also with 
 the hope that it might become a separate Parish under his 
 son's Rectorship. 
 
 In 1846, the Rev. Wm Cogswell fell into ill health, and • 
 the Rev. VVm Bullock, at that time Rector of Digby, N. S., ' 
 took his duty in June of that year. At a meeting of the' 
 Vestry of St. Paul's, held Sept. 4th, 1846, the employment" 
 of the Rev. VVm. JJullock, was considered and accepted. A^'' 
 last the necessity fcir a Chapel of Ease became so urgent'^ 
 that at a meeting of Vestry, held Monday, March 1st, 1847^ 
 ** It having been brought to the notice of the meeting tha^ 
 the Parish is sufiering from want of accommodation in th'® 
 Church," it was r'^«olved to call a meeting of all person" 
 interested in the subject of a Chapel of Ease. This meeting* 
 was held on the 3rd day of April, when resolutions weril^* 
 ))assed requesting the Church Wardens and Vestry of St' 
 Paul's '* to obtain a conveyance to be made to them in fet*; 
 simple of the lot of land whereon the Chapel of Ease, parti; 
 couipleted, now stands, containing a power to mortgage th 
 same for the purpose of raising money to complete the salt 
 building," thnt they should " raise the sum of £2,500 b^ 
 mortgage of the said land premises," —that "on the comple- 
 tion of the said building, the said mortgage be paid off or

 reduced to tlie lowest possible amount by the proceeds of 
 sales of the Good-will of Peivs \oy a limited number of 
 years. '' , 
 
 These resolutions were adopted at the Annual Eistor 
 Vestry Meeting, held on Monday, Ajuil 5th, 1847. At 
 this meeting the Rev. Wni. Cogswell's resignation was read, 
 and the Kector authorized to secure the services of the Kev. 
 VVm. Bullock as Curate in Mr. Cogswell's place, and at a 
 Vestry Meeting held on 2nd September, Mr. Bullock was 
 duly appointed. 
 
 On the 24th September the Church Wardens submitted 
 to the Vestry the draft of a mortgajje and bond to the Hon. 
 Henry Hezekiah Cogswell for the sum of £2,500, in pursu- 
 'Hce of the resolution passed in April. 
 
 At the Easter Meeting of April 24th, 1848, the Wardens 
 'ave an account of the cost of the Chapel the debt remaining 
 pon it and the disposal of the pews. Finally, after four 
 ears of waiting, the Chapel of Ease was opened for Divine 
 Service on Sunday, May 4th, 1848, and the charge of it, 
 vith a general superintendence of the parochial duties and 
 he Sunday School, Avaj assigned to Rev. Wm. Bullock. 
 -*^rhe limits were then fixed " iJeginning on Water Street at . 
 .he foot of Wallace Street, up the centre of Wallace Street 
 .0 Barrington Street, thence northerly up the centre of Bar- 
 rington Street to Chapel Hill, up that street and along the 
 centre of Spring Garden Road to the North West Arm." 
 
 In April, 1849, the debt on the Chapel of Ease was 
 reported to be .£3,000, and the pew rents were put down as 
 £300. The old organ of St Paul's was voted to be trans- 
 ferred to the Chapel of Ease. 
 
 It was not long before the division of the Parish began 
 to be mooted, and at a meeting held on Monday, 18th Feb.,

 1850, a committee consistiu^r of tlie Church Wardens, 
 (Me.ssi's. Fairbanks and Ritchie), Peter Lynch, J .1. Sawyer, 
 and J 1>. lUand, was appointed to report on the division of 
 tlie Parish. This report was prc<3uted at the Easter vestry 
 meeting, on Monday, April 1st, 1850, and the report was 
 ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the Parishioners, 
 but whether tJie re|)ort wa-< favourable to division or not, is 
 not said. Tlie question came up again at a meeting held on 
 Tuesday, December 8rd, 1850, when it was moved by Dr. 
 Almon and seconded by J. B. Bland, '*That it is expedient 
 that the Parish be divided." The motion, however, was 
 negatived by a vote of 40 to 20. This settled the question 
 for some time, and it was not again brought up until 1855. 
 Meanwhile the liabilities of the Chapel of Ease became sc 
 burdensou.e and the claims of the mortgagor so urgent, that 
 at a meeting held May 8th, 1851, the Church Wardens weri' 
 " authorised and requested, at the expiration of three months> 
 and after due notice, to sell at Public Auction, the Chape^ 
 of Ease and the land upon which it stands and appurtenan*' 
 thereto, and to give a good title thereto on behalf of th* 
 Parish, and out of the proceeds of the sale to, pay off, in th? 
 first place, the sum of £2,500 with interest, and any othei 
 debts which may be due by the Parish." Tlfis resolutioi^ 
 was passed with only one Dissentient, but it appears nevei! 
 to have been carried into effect, on the contrary, some efforf. 
 must been made to relieve the Chapel of the debt, for on th4 
 22nd day of October, of that year, (1851), the Chapel of 
 Ease was consecrated by the Right Reverend Hibbert Binney, 
 D. D., Bishop of Nova Scotia, and was " dedicated to 
 Almighty God and Divine Worship, by the name of Saint! 
 Luke the Evansrelist. 
 
 A bell had been presented to St. Luke's in April, 1851, 
 by the Hon. M. B. Almon.

 At this time the Chancel of St. Luke's hail not been 
 built, and the vestry was a small room at the noithwest end 
 of the Cluireh. The Pupilt stood in front of the Communion 
 Table in the usual position in Churches of that period; the 
 Organ and Choir were in the AVest Gallery, and someone 
 was employed to lead the Choir, since we find the sum of 
 £20 ai)proi)riated at a vestry meeting of St. Paul's held 8th 
 April, 1850, to obtain a person to lead the Choir of the 
 Chapel of E;ise." '1 he black gown was at that time worn 
 when preaching. The Pulpit was the gift of Admiral 
 Frederick Bullock, the brother of the Rector, The bell 
 presented by Mr. Almon was placeij in position in the tower 
 by a party of bluejackets from the Flag Ship then on the 
 Station, out of compliment to the Pev. Mr. Pullock, who, 
 before taking Holy Orders, had borne a commission as 
 Lieutenant in the Poyal Navy. Mr Bullock continued to 
 act as Curate of St. Paul's with sj)ecial charge of St. Luke's, 
 until the division of the Parish when he became the first 
 Pector of St. Luke's. A second Curate was also employed 
 at St. Paul's./^'he subject of division of the Parish of St. 
 Paul's came up again at a meeting held August ISth., 1855, 
 "^but was not entertained. At the annual Easter Meeting 
 March 24th, 1856, it was moved by Mr. T. C. Kinnear, and 
 seconded by Mr. J. J. Sawyer, "That a special meeting be 
 called for the purpose of taking into consideration the ex- 
 pediency of dividing the Parish of St. Paul's into the 
 separate Parishes of St. Paul's and St. Luke's and that the 
 Church Wardens be requested to give notice of such meeting 
 within three months from this date." This Parish Meeting 
 was held on Wednesday, May 21st, 1856, when Mr.

 Kinnear's motion for a division, which was seconded by 
 Mr. M n. Salter, was carried by a vote of 30 to 28. and a 
 ciimniittee of 7, 3 from St. Luke's, 3 from St. Paul's, and 
 one fiom Dartmouth, was appointed to consult with the 
 I)ishop and define the limits of the two Parishes. Nothing, 
 however, came of this action, probably the majority in 
 favour of division was so small that it was not considered 
 advisable to ca-rv it out at that time. The matter of division 
 then remained iu abeyance until April 23rd. 1858, when a 
 Public Meeting was held, on a requisition to the Rector 
 signed by 6t parishioners and pew-holders "to consider the 
 propriety of dividing the J^arish of St. Paul's." On this 
 occasion the matter was taken up actively, and it was re- 
 solved on mot ,j of Mr. T. C Kinnear seconded by Mr. 
 Peter Lynch, " That the time has arrived when the division 
 of the Parish of St. Paul's should take place, and that it be 
 divided into the Parishes of St. Paul's and St. Luke's, — and 
 that a Committee ot Pew-holders of St. Paul's and St. Luke's 
 Churches be appointed to define the limits of the respective 
 Parishes, and to make all other arrangements, an umpire to 
 be chosen from the Paiish of Dartmouth. This motion was 
 carried by a vote of 27 to 15, and the following committee 
 was appointed : from St. Paul's, Messrs. P. C. Hill, J. T. A. 
 Creigliton and J. W. Kitchie ; -from St. Luke's, Col. Myers, 
 Mr. P. Lynch and W. C. Silver. This committee, of which 
 Mr. Peter Lynch was chairman,, reported at a meeting held 
 Friday, May 7th, and the report was discussed and adopted 
 at a later meeting held on Tuesday, May 11th. The boun- 
 dary between the two Parishes was fixed, commencing " at 
 the shore of the harbour at the foot of Morris Street and 
 running from thence, westerly through the centre of that 
 street until it reaches the western boundary of the old

 At the Easter Meeting of 18G0, it was resolved to jnir- 
 chase the lot on the coiner of Queen and Morris Streets, 
 which was done, tlie price paid being $435 Gas was also 
 fii'st used in the Church about this time. The total income 
 of St Luke's for tlie ]»revious year amounted to $2,532.37, 
 including a special collection of $i^G3.<*^0 to pay for putting 
 in the gas. 
 
 At the Easter Meeting of 18G1, a resolution of regret at 
 the departui'e of the Kev. H. H, lUillock was passed unani- 
 mously, and it was resolved that his annual snbscri))tion to 
 the Widows and Orphans Eund of the Diocese, '' be defrayed 
 from the collection taken up in the Church on Easter Sunday 
 in each year, in aid of that Eund." At the same meeting it 
 was also resolved to obtain a curate for St. Luke's, the 
 salary to be c£150, and quarterly collections to be made 
 toward his stipend. The Kev. John Abbott was offered the 
 curacy and accepted it on the Gth April, 186L At a Vestry 
 Meeting held September 10th, 1861, a committee of five 
 were appointed to act with the Rector and Church WarJf^ns 
 in erecting a Parish School House At the annual Easter 
 Meeting of 1862, the Eector rej)orted the sum of nearly 
 £600 promised towards the School House, and a reso- 
 lution was passed authorizing the committee to proceed with 
 the building and guaranteeing £1,000 for that purpose. 
 The School House was erected with the idea of usinjr it for

 Intiun authorized its use for tlie Sunday School, and also, 
 a.s soon as ))ro])ei teacheis could be obtained, for a Parocljial 
 Day fScliool, in which, '' while opm for tho admission of 
 chiidrcai of all denominations, the instruction to l)e given in 
 tluim shall be strictly and uualteiably in accordiiuce witli 
 tiiG I)octrin(! and jtrinciples of the (Jhurch of Kngland." 
 
 At the annual Easter Meeting of 18G4-, the Hector made 
 the following jivopofal to the i)arishioners : — *' To furnish 
 the Church Wardens with .£400 or so much more as shall 
 be sufficient to cover all the expense of erecting and finish- 
 ing an ai)proi)riate (.'hancel ior St. Luke's Church." The 
 Ivector also appended a jtofa to this ])roposition with regard 
 to the ])urchase of a sma'l addition to tluj land already 
 occuj)ied by the Church. At the A^'estry Meeting held on 
 April, 4th, 1864, the Rector informed the Vestry that the 
 l>ishoj) had availed himself of the permission and authority 
 of the Queejj to make the Church of St. Luke the 
 Cathedral Church and to appoint Catliedi'al officers This 
 arrangement was in no way to interfi3re with the vested 
 interests of tlie Parishioners, but there would be a Dean and 
 4 Canons to form a clun)ter and the 20,000 acres of land, 
 known as the " Chai)ter land" would be available for the 
 improvement of the Cathedral. The Vestry accepted this 
 ])roposition with much gratification. At this same meeting 
 the report of the Parochial School which had been opened 
 in June of the previous year was highly favourable, showing 
 98 pupil-i in attendance, 1 pupil teacher working and another 
 to be added after Easter; fees paid £31.10 and with a 
 supply of books, maps, &c , worth £53. 16.3d. 
 
 A Meeting of Vestry was called S ptember 2nd, 1864, 
 at which the Petition for the consecration of the Chancel

 St. Luke's roai)ectinj,' tlio erection of 8t. Luke's into a 
 Catliedral Church were diawn up on A))ril 11th, 187."), the 
 liector, now aLso con.stitut<!<l Dean, infonned tlio Vestry that 
 the cost of the Chancel had exceeded the estimate hy nearly 
 X400, exclusive of the stained window which would bo 
 presented by the IJishop. The cost of removing the Organ 
 from the West Gallery to the Oigan Chamber £22.10 was 
 ordered to be defrayed by the Parish, and the purchase of 
 the lot held by the Dean behind the Chancel was recuni- 
 mended at the price of j£175. 
 
 In 18G5 the question of re-ceiling the Church was first 
 proposed at a A^estry Meeting by iMr. Harvey, but at a latcu* 
 meeting October ISth, LSGo, it was rerolved to ])OstpoDe this 
 improvement. In consequence of the adoption of an entirely 
 new system for Public Education, tlie Dean saw that it 
 would be impossible to sustain the Parochial School as he 
 had hoped and intended, and it was therefore resolved by 
 the Vestry to let the school house and basement room to 
 the Provincial Board of Education for S3G0 and $340 respect- 
 ively. In October 1866 however it was resolved " that the 
 Commissioners of Schools be allowed to occupy the school 
 house without charge for rent during 1867 provided the 
 denominational school houses be thus given." As this 
 condition however was not complied with, a demand was 
 subsequently made upon the commissioners for rent for that 
 year, but it does not appear to have been successful. In 
 1870 it was proposed to substitute iron pillars for the 
 wooden ones in the Church, but as it was found that iron 
 pillars would cost about $1,000 the idea was abandoned.

 ])iespnted to the Dean on his liavin;,' completed fifty years 
 of ministry in tlie ('hurcli. A new furuance was put in 
 in 1873. 
 
 In the early part of 1874, St. Luke's met with a severe 
 loss in the death of it's much loved and n^vered Ktjctor, 
 J)ean liullock, wlio was taken ill in Fel)ruary and died in 
 March 1874. On the 9th a Vestry Meeting was held at 
 which the following resolution was passed : — " It hath 
 pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from the Church 
 Militant to the Church Triumphant His most faithful 
 servant, our late beloved Kector, the Kev. William Bullock, 
 J). ]).. Dean of the Cathedral ; therefore, be it resolved : 
 That while we deeply mourn the great less the Parishioners 
 of St. Luke's have sustained both collectively and individu- 
 ally in this dispensation of Providence, yet we bow with 
 submission to the will of Almighty God, rejoicing in the 
 full conviction that our great loss has been the greater gain 
 to our beloved Pastor, who having so long and faithfully 
 fought the good tight, batli now reaped the great reward, 
 and has been as a sheaf fully ripe, gathered into the Garner 
 of our Lord." 
 
 During the inter regnum and before a new Kector was 
 elected, an agreement was entered into between the liishop 
 and the Vestry of St. Luke's, and endorsed by the meeting 
 of Parishioners at Easter, 1874, that the pulpit of St. Luke's 
 should be at the disposal of the Cathedral authorities on the 
 tho first Sunday of each month at the morning service, and 
 on the third Sunday of each month at the evening service : 
 this arrangement has prevailed up to the present. At this 
 
22 
 
 Easter Meeting the Tev. John Abbott was elected Rector of 
 8t. Liike';^. 
 
 In iMay, 1874, the Church Wardens wore empowered to 
 give the con)niissioners of schools notice that thej required 
 poi^se^sion of the school building in the end of October 
 following. On the 30th of Ju\y the Kov. John L. Beli was 
 api)ointed Curate, at a salary of $1,000, but he only con- 
 tiuued to occupy that position until Easter, 1875. A legacy 
 of $100 left by Miss Wallace was ordered to be used in the 
 purchase of a small bell for the Church. 
 
 At the annual Parish Meeting of 1875 it was decided to 
 erect a memorial to the late L'ector, Dean Bullock, and in 
 May th(^, committee reported in favour of erecting over the 
 grave of the late Dean, a Massive Cross of Nova Scotia 
 granite. In August the Vestry i)assed resolutions to take 
 over the school house from the School Commissioner and to 
 erect a platform, ))aint, put in benches, &c., all to be paid 
 for by subscription At this meeting also the Rector 
 announced the selection of Rev. Mr. Richardson as Curate. 
 In November 1875 the repairs to the school house were 
 completed at a cost of |600. Rev. Mr. Sills succeeded 
 Rev. Mr Bell as Curate in 1876. 
 
 ^The question of using envelopes was first mooted in 
 1877. In 1877 the Cathedral authorities desired to record 
 the furniture of St. Luke's which actually belonged to the 
 Cathedral, and they claimed the crimson altar cloth, the sett 
 of violet altar cloths and hangings presented by the Bishop, 
 the altar cross, (not the one in present use), 2 flower vases 
 and one silver chalice presented by the Bishop, the lectern, 
 the altar, the stone base for the font, the chest for the altar 
 cloths, the carpet (then) in the chapter room, the robe press, 
 the clock, the umbrella stand, the book case and the library.

 In 1878 the wdiole Church was re-shingled and other 
 repairs made at a cost of about $1,200. 
 
 At a Parish Meeting held March 8th, 1879, a coniiuittee 
 was appointed to pre[)a]'e and submit a scheme based upon 
 the envelope system, to provide additional funds for the 
 I^irisli. This was not taken up encouragingly by the 
 Parsh only $17.80 per week being promised. In the course 
 of a fliscussion on the finances of the Church at the annual 
 Easter Meeting in 1879, the Vestry clerk stated that the loss 
 of pew lents for the last twelve years amounted to $2,800. 
 In conseijuence of the condition of the finances it was 
 resolved to dispense with the Curate, (Mr. Sillsy, after three 
 months. 
 
 Towards the close of 1881, St. Luke's met with its 
 second great loss in the death of the Rector, the Pev. John 
 Abbott, on Monday, October 3rd. The bereaved Parish had 
 some difficulty in selecting a new Rector to fill the place of 
 the one who had for so long, and so faithfully laboured 
 amongst them, and who had so much endeared himself to 
 his people. Meanwhile, the Rev. W. L Currie, of Eastern 
 Passage, was requested to take charge of the Parish for three 
 months, o' until a new Rector should be elected. In 
 December, 1881, a Parish Meeting was held at which the 
 Rev. E. R. Murray, a missionary, who had laboured most 
 successfully at Heart's Content. Newfoundland, was unani- 
 niou.sly elected Reclor, and in Eebruary, 1882, Mr. Murray 
 arrived and took charge of the Parish Meantime, the 
 litany desk, or fald stool, had been presented to St. Luke's 
 as a memorial of the late Rector, JNIr. Abbott. Mr. Murray 
 was not loug in charge before he manifested his devotion 
 
24 
 
 anrl conrngo in n, rcmaikablo and and admirable manner. A 
 terrible and most disastrous fire occurred at the Poor's 
 Asylum, and in his heroic efforts to save the helpless people 
 from the flames, Mr. Murray was so injured that he was 
 com|)elled in January, 1883, to go away in order to recover 
 his health. On his return home a rood screen which had 
 been subscribed for by some of his friends, was offered to 
 St. Luke's as a thank-offering for his recovery, but owing to 
 the objections of the Bishop and others it was never erected. 
 
 Mr. Murray carried on the good work of the former 
 Eectors with great vigour and success. At the Easter 
 Meeting of 1883, it wo,s resolved to purchase a suitable 
 Kectory for the Parish, and after several projjerties which 
 had been offered had been carefully considered, the present 
 property, 91 Morris Street, was purchased from Mr. W. L. 
 Lowell, in April, 1885, at the price of $5 500. At a Parish 
 Meeting held in June, 1883, it was resolved to divide the 
 Parish by setting off ^Falkland as a Mission. A resolution 
 was passed at the same time recognising the moral obligation 
 of St. Luke's to help in the support of the new Mission as 
 far as possille, and ever since then St Luke's has paid 
 $100 per annum towards the support of the Missionary at 
 Falkland. 
 
 In February, 1884, the Rector was again obliged to go 
 to a milder climate on account of his health, and he was 
 given leave of absence until June. 
 
 One of the cherished schemes of Mr. Murray was the 
 erection of a new Church, and in March, 1885, he succeeded 
 in getting a building committee appointed. At the same 
 time the ladies took up the scheme with energy and 
 enthusiasm, and in the fall of 1885, held a sale which 
 realised about $1,000, and which was invested by the

 there, together with the biiilding of St. Stejjhcn's, (the 
 liishop's Chapel), made such a change in the i)rospect of 
 building a new St. Luke's, that no fuither ellbrt was made 
 in that direction. 
 
 In February, 1^8G, the Ilev. \V. li. King was nominated 
 as Curate at a salary of $900. 
 
 On April 30th, 1886, Pislioi) Binney died at Kew York, 
 and the funeral was held in Halifax, on P'riday, May 8th. 
 At the Hector's suggestion the little Chapel of St. Alban'a 
 was purchased in 1886 for $800, 
 
 Mr. Murray continued to labonr vvith great devotion and 
 zeal until the close of the year of 1887, when, owing to his 
 ill health, he deemed it his duly to resign the Parish by 
 letter dated December 1st, the resignation to take effect 
 March 1st, 1888 The resignation was reluctantly accepted, 
 and the election of a new Kector deferred until Easter, 1888, 
 meanwhile Mr. King, the Curate, carried on the work of the 
 Parish. 
 
 At the Easter Meeting of Parishioners, 1888, the election 
 of a Rector was postponed with the consent of the Bishop 
 until the following Easter, meanwhile the Kev. W. B. King 
 was appointed Priest in charge. Improvements in the 
 (yhurch were also spoken of, and the Church Wardens and 
 Vestry were em])0wered to obtain the funds which had been 
 raised by the ladies for the erqction of a new Church. 
 
 In April, 1888, the Rev. Frederick Courtney, I). D., was 
 consecrated in St Luke's, Bishop of Nova Scotia, and the 
 new Bishop waived his right to appoint the Rector until 
 after Easter, 1889. In January, 1889, however, a meeting 
 of the Parishioners was called on the 7th instant, when the 
 
26 
 
 Rev. VV. B l\hv^ wns unanimously elected Kector. At a 
 Vestry meeting' held Ai)iil Otb, it was resolved to recomnieiid 
 to tlie Palish Mectiii.t;- a plan lor re ceiling the nave of St. 
 Lul:e's, and jiutting in new ])illars, and also to repair St. 
 l.uke's Hall, and also to consider the making all the pews 
 and sittings free At the following Easter Meeting the 
 alterations in the Church were authorized, and at a later 
 meeting held in .lune, tenders were accepted, and the com- 
 mittee authorized to jtroceed wltth the work and to borrow 
 $5,000. jiuring the time these alterations were being made 
 the services were held in St. Luke's Hall. All was com- 
 ])leted and St. Luke's was re-opened on Sunday, October 
 8th, greatly impi'oved in appearance. 
 
 At the annual Parish Meeting held Easter Monday, 
 Apiil 7th, 1890, tlie important step was taken of making 
 the seats in St. Luke's entirely free. 'Ihe motion was made 
 by Mr. Thos. Lrown, seconded by Afr. Silver, and carried 
 unanimously in a very full meeting ; since then St. Luke's 
 has relied entirely upon the offerings of the congregation, 
 either through envelopes or open offerings During the fol- 
 lowing year an energetic canvass was made of the whole 
 Parisii, resulting in a moie general adoption of the envelope 
 system, increasing the receipts of the Church by a consider* 
 able amount. 
 
 In August, 1891, the Lev. Mr. King drew the 
 attentiion of the Vestry to the Mission of St. Luke's across 
 the North West Arm. known as St. Augustine's ; the little 
 building which had been used for services bad become so 
 dilapidated that it had to be pulled down. *300 was in 
 hand towards the purchase of a site for a new building, and 
 at the same time a plan was submitted for a building to cost 
 about 1 1,000 It was at the time resolved to borrow the 
 
\ 
 
 27 
 
 money in order to erect tlie Cliapel, but the plan was foimr"! 
 to be too co.stly and other anan^reineiits had to be made 
 Meanwhile the ladies of the Parish held a sah? which realisiMl 
 nearly $1,000, out of which aniouut $'M)0 was paid for stone 
 and every jtreparation made for erecting the Chapel. Jn 
 May, 1892, the Kev. W. I^. King accepted a call to the 
 Ifectorahip uf Christ Church, Cambridge, Mass., this led to 
 the deferring of further action lej/aiding St. Augustine\s, 
 but it is hoped that a little stone Church will be erected on 
 a site generously given by Mr. Sandford Fleming, C. M. G., 
 before another year has i):issed. 
 
 Mr. King's resignation was acce})ted Avith much regret 
 by the Parish of St Luke's, taking eifect July 1st, 181)2, 
 and at a Parish Meeting held in St.^Luke"s Hall, July lUth, 
 the present Piector, Kev. E P. Crawford, then J\ector of the 
 Church of the Ascension, Hamilton, was unanimously elected 
 Kector, and was inducted by the Bishop on August 7th, 18'J2.

 This branch of the General Guihl was orgaoized on May 
 25th, 1893, beginning with a working membership of 21 
 and 6 honorary members, and reporting at the close of the 
 first year, 35 working members and 11 honorary. To quote 
 from tlie Secretary's report :—'' During the year we have 
 accomplished a good deal of work, not only has the work in 
 connection with the Church been maintained in the efficient 
 manner that has characterized it for years, but through our 
 organized effort the burden has not fallen so conspicuously 
 on a few, and through funds provided by the Guild some 
 branches of M'ork have been more satisfactorily performed." 
 The ladies who have undertaken the care of the Sanctuary 
 have attended every week by turns at the Church to see that 
 all things appertaining to the altar and altar service were in 
 a proper condition for their sacred uses. The ('hristmas, 
 Easter and Harvest Decorations have been effectively and 
 beautifully carried out by Mrs Tucker and her assistants, 
 
0,0 
 
 several new banuers have been obtaiiied, two most beautiful 
 setts of wliite burse aud clialice veil for festival use pre- 
 sented, and the hangings always kept in order and duly 
 changed to suit the 'seasons. The linen for altar use haa 
 been carefully attended to and kept in beautiful order by 
 Mis. Gilpin and those working with her. Ti)e floral de- 
 corations have been arranged with exquisite taste and skill by 
 Miss O'Dell and her workers Hut the choir Guild has been 
 the chief feature of work in this branch. It was found on 
 examination that the cassocks and cottas for the choir needed 
 almost entire renovation, and after diligent elforts at mending, 
 the Guild made application to the Church Wardens and 
 Vestry for assistance which was granted to the extent of 
 $100. With this money new linen was purchased, cottas 
 cut out and made by members of the Guild, whilst cassocks 
 were dyed and refitted, one or two extra surplices were also 
 made for the use of tiie clergy. Besides this, the choir 
 (juild have had closets made in the choix room in place of the 
 old curtains behind which the choir vestments used to hang, 
 for this purpose also, a grant was promised by the Church 
 Warden. Ever since the organization of this branch the 
 surplices have been carefully looked after and kept scrupu- 
 lously clean 'I he work of this branch has been most satis- 
 factory, and the members of the choir, and indeed the whole 
 congregation have good reason to thank the ladies for their 
 care and attention. All things in this branch are now in 
 good condition. 
 
 The Rector commends this Guild to all communicants of 
 St. Luke's ; the working membership fee is 50 cents, the 
 honorary fee $1. Contributions towards the flower fund 
 should be paid to Miss K. O'Dell.

 Since Mr. Frank Gatward took charge of the choir, it 
 has attained a liigh state of efficiency. The choral celebra- 
 tions are revereutlv and sweetly rendered. Woodwards 
 s^ervice in G, being used for ordinary, and Aguttei's beauti- 
 ful service in G, for festivals. Several new anthems and 
 services have been added to the re[)ertoire of the choir 
 notably, Ebdon's fine old service for the Magnilicat ^and 
 Nunc Himittis, and the old and favourite anthem,^ "In 
 Jewry is God known," by Clarke Whitfteld. On the Friday 
 
40 
 
 of Passion Week and Wednesday of Holy Week, the choir 
 gave Stainer's " Crucifixion," and when one thinks it was 
 done without extraneous assistance it was a most remarkable 
 evidence of the ability and efficiency of the choir. Mr. 
 Gatward has new services, &c., in preparation. The one 
 thinf' needed now to make the musical services of St. Luke's 
 all that they should be is the new Organ.

 This Guild was formed during the Rectorship of the Rev. 
 F. R. Murray, and has done a most kindly and charitahle 
 work in providing for some of tlie poorer members of St. 
 Luke's. Every year a Christmas tree has been held, at 
 which useful and valuable presents were bestowed upon 
 poor children, and a bountiful tea provided for both mothers 
 and children. The annual treat was held last, on Holy 
 Innocents Day, December 28th, 1893, when about 90 child- 
 ren received presents of clothiug and toys, and eujoyed 
 Christmas cheer. The cash receipts of the Guild were 
 $13.12, and the disbarments were the same, leaving a 
 balance of 25 cents in the Treasurer's hands. Hut this by 
 no means represents the amount expended by the Guild, as 
 each member provided clothing and gifts for a certain 
 number of children at her own expense. 
 
 In connection with this provision of Christmas cheer 
 might be mentioned the fact that ui)wards of 50 Christmas 
 dinners have been provided and sent out from 8t. Luke's 
 choir room on Christmas Eve for the last two years.

 The Mother's Meeting has been in operation for some 
 years, and has been one of the most useful and helpful of 
 ths benevolent Guihis oi the Parish. It meets every Wed- 
 nesday afternoon during the winter months, when the 
 mothers sew, whilst an instructive and entertaining book is 
 read to them ; tlie material is purchased out of the funds of 
 the Guild, the garments are made by tlie women themselves, 
 and sold to them at very low rates. Frequently the motliers 
 are treated to a tea at 4 o'clock. The Secretary reports an 
 average attendance during the past winter of 19. The sum 
 of $18 was collected for the purchase of material, and 95 gar- 
 ments were made by the women for their own use. There 
 is a Blanket and Clothinir Club in connection with the 
 Mother's Meeting, the members paying in such sums as they 
 are able to save during the year, and after 10 per cent is 
 added out of the Parish funds, they are provided with 
 blankets at wholesale rates, or, if they prefer, the money is 
 retuin'Hl to them to be expended as they wish. There were 
 21 members of the lUauket ('lub, and their savings during 
 1893, amounted to about $168. 
 
 A splendid (/hristmas supper was given to the mothers 
 on St. John's Day, December 27th, 1893, at which the 
 blankets and money were given to the members. 
 
 The Treasurer reports 50 yards of cotton in hand and 85

 This club was started by the Rector in May, 1893, the 
 following ladies kindly acting as collectors : — 
 
 Mrs. Hcnsley, Miss Lee, Miss Ratchford and Miss 
 P)Ownian. There were 15 contributors to the club whoso 
 savings from Juno to November amounted to $58.91, to this 
 was added 10 per cent, and the money returned to the mem- 
 bers either in cash or in coal. 8J chaldrons of coal were 
 purchased and delivered at the lowest cash price This club 
 might be made a very useful and helpful one by a few more 
 taking an interest in it and working for it It is far better 
 to encourage the poor to lay by for theiuselves during the 
 summer months, than to pauperise them by constantly sup- 
 plying their needs in winter. There are really few who 
 ought to seek aid in the winter, if thev exercise anv kind of 
 care and management when there is plenty of work in 
 summer, and we ought to do all we can to induce them to 
 practice thrift and economy. 
 
 The Poor Fund is made up chiefly by the offerings at 
 the celebrations of the Molv Eucharist. In 1892-3 these 
 amounted to «4H8.19, and" in 1893-4 to $582.11. The 
 Reynolds bequest yielded $60.27 in 1892, and $104.82 in 
 1893. The Rector also found in the alms box in the porch 
 of the Church S22.88. The total received in 1892-3 was 
 therefore $498.46, and in 1893-4 $709.91. Every cent of 
 this has been expended for the benefit of the poor, and the 
 Rector is now struggling with an exhausted treasury. The 
 fund owes $100 to the Mission of St. Augustine which must 
 be paid this year ; shall it be by increased contributions or 
 by cutting off the poor ?

 The number on the roll of the school at Advent, 1893, 
 was 79 girls and 50 boys in the senior, and 37 girls and 20 
 boys in the junior school, a total of 186 scholars. These 
 numbers have increased to 82 girls and 52 boys in the 
 senior and 41 girls and 30 boys in the junior school, a total 
 of 205. The average attendance is 148. Besides these there 
 is the Rector's Bible Class at which the older boys who have 
 been confirmed attend, Mrs. Lyde's class in the Young 
 Ladies' College, and Miss Lee's class at the Asylum for the

 obtained during the year. Those who have perfect marks 
 or within six of the total numl)er of marks for the year are 
 on the roll of honour, and their names are printed in gold

 Tlie names of those "dio obtained this honour last year 
 were : — 
 
 Frances Humphries, Frances Longley, 
 Jennie Turner, Alma Zong,

 All who obtain over J of the maximum are classed on the 
 honour roll, all over j are in the first class, and all over J in 
 the second class. There were 25 on the honour roll last 
 year, and 30 in the fiist class all of whom received prizes of 
 proportionate valu^. 39 were in the second class, while the 
 rest were not classified. In the junior school, 5 boys and 
 7 girls received over f of the marks and obtained prizes. 
 An entertainment was given to the children on the 4th of 
 January, 1894, at which the prizes were distributed. Two 
 pic nics have been held, one in 1893, and the other in 1894, 
 both of which were very successful, except that the last one 
 left us in debt a few dollars. On the second Sunday of 
 each month there is a children's service at 3.45 in the 
 Church, when the children are catechised, and cards given 
 to all who are perfect for the month previous On Xmas 
 and Easter afternoons there are also children's services 
 which are very bright and joyous. The great feature of the 
 Easter Festival is the Floral Object Lesson ; last year this 
 took the shape of a large cross, and this year of a butterfly ; 
 the lesson was very beautiful and instructive. Some mem-

 l)ers of St. Luke's do not sond their children to Sunday 
 School, they shouhi at least see that they attend the monthly 
 catechising service in compliance with the rubric at the end 
 of the catechism, " All fathers, mothers and dames shall 
 cause their children, servants and apprenti^>es (which have 
 not learned their catechism) to come to the Church at the 
 time appointed, and obediently to hear and be order' d by 
 the Curate, until such time as they have learned all that is 
 here appointed for them to learn." 
 
 The finances of the school are getting into better shape, 
 and it is hoi)ed ere long to be entirely free from debt. Two 
 years ago there was a considerable \leficiency, the greater 
 part of which lias now been paid, and in addition an excel- 
 lent new library procured so that the school is now well 
 equipped to do its work. During the past two Lenten 
 seasons the scholars were encouraged to take self-denial 
 boxes, and to present their savings at the Easter Festival 
 Service for some missionary object In 1893, these self- 
 denial offerings amounted to upwards of $60 and ,"$55 
 was handed to the Bishop to be used by him for mission 
 work in his Diocese. In 1894, the offerings came to nearly 
 $70 and $60 was sent to Indian mission work in the far 
 north west. 
 
 The total receipts of the school for the year ending 
 Advent 1893 were $348.40, and the liabilties $51,46, which 
 liabilities have since been paid off.

 This Guild was formed on February 18th, 1893, and has 
 therefore been in operation for 18 months. It is intended 
 to interest tlie children of the Church in Mission work, 
 Diocesan, Domestic and Foreign, They follow the Church's 
 system from the beginning; " beginning at "—their own — 
 "Jerusalem" and then reaching out to Judea, Samaria, and 
 the uttermost parts of the earth, by sending their contri- 
 butions, first, to their own Diocese and then to other parts of 
 Canada, and finally to foreign lands. The Guild had in its 
 first year a membership of 27 and an average attendance at 
 the weekly meetings of U. As the Guild began its work so 
 Jate in '93 it was not able to accomplish much in the first 
 six months, however, banks were given to the members who 
 would accept them, into which they were to put 2 cents per 
 week, and the result was $4.67 at the close of the working 
 season. The Guild bent its energies towards preparation for 
 a sale which was held at 91 Morris Street, in October, and 
 which was a great success, the sum of $55.84 being realized. 
 Another most successful event was the Missionary meeting 
 held in St. Luke's Hall in conjunction with St. Paul's

 and the members sang Missionary hynins and gave interest- 
 ing recitations. The offering made at this meeting which 
 was largely attended, was very satisfactory. The receipts of 
 the Guild from members fees |5.80, and from donations 
 $6 55, from banks $8.05, from otterings SI 2 70, and from 
 fines $2.26, made up, with the proceeds of the sale, a total 
 sum of $91.36 ; with this money the Guild was able to send 
 in cash to Missionaries in Nova Scotia a total sum of $30, 
 and to expend $13.93 in the purchase of Xmas gifts for a 
 Sunday School at New Koss. Also to spend $2.12 on books 
 for Sunday School libraries at Middleton and Sackville. 
 $8 was sent to the Indian boys homo at Saicee Reserve, 
 N. W. T , and $2.75 spent on materials for work sent to 
 Grenfell in the North West. $10 was given to Zenana 
 Missions in India, and $5 to a lady Missionary in Japan. 
 But, besides all these gifts in cash, valuable boxes of Christ- 
 mas gifts were sent to the families of two Missionaries in 
 the Diocese of Nova Scotia, and a contribution was sent to 
 be enclosed in the boxes of the C. W. M. A. Two large 
 boxes of books for Sunday School library were sent to 
 Middleton and Sackville, the Guild taking the old Sunday 
 School libraries of St. Luke's, repairing and recovering 
 thorn, and adding some new ones. The Christmas gifts sent 
 to New Ross numbered 128 and were all valuable and useful. 
 
 A sale is to be held again in the fall of '94 for which the 
 members of the Guild and their friends are working now ; 
 they will be glad to receive any contributions from friends 
 in the shape of useful or fpncy articles It is hoped also, 
 that seeing the laudable results of their past ettbrts, the 
 members of St. Luke's and other congregations in the City 
 will encourage them still further by a large attendance and 
 liberal buying when the sale takes place. 
 
 The membership now numbers 35.

 The object and work of this organization is now pretty 
 thoroughly understood by every one. It is impossible to 
 guag© its influence, or to speak of its success. The work 
 done is a simple and quiet but most useful and effective 
 work. The visiting of the hotels every Saturday evening 
 and leaving invitations to strangers to attend the services of 
 the Church and the attention paid to all strangers when they 
 come to Church is in itself a work worthy of praise, but 
 when one remembers the interest, prayers and personal 
 efforts of the young men of St. Andrew on behalf of the 
 other young men of the Parish, the influence of this society 
 must be great for good, and its beneficent results will be 
 gloriously manifest when the Lord shall come " to give to 
 every man according to his wc ik." Few are its members 
 indeed, but " the Lord saveth not by many." Are there not 
 more young men who love the Lord Jesus enough, and their . 
 fellows also, to associate themselves- with so noble, unselfish, 
 and manly a work I

 St. Luke's compaiiy of the Church Lads' Brigade was 
 formed in April, 1893.' For two or three months, until he 
 left Halifax, the then Lieutenant Tod Woodward drilled 
 the bovs very efficiently, and after his departure Corporal 
 Crowhurst, R. E., was drill instructor until his return to 
 England. The boys are now thoroughly drilled every 
 Monday evening by (^nyjtain Thompson aLd the other 
 officers. In August, 1893, a camp was held at McNab's 
 Island under the supervision of the Chaplain, assisted by 
 Corporal Crowhurst, in which, also some of the St. George's, 
 St. Paul's and St. Stephen's boys took part, upwards of 50 
 boys were in camp, which continued from Monday, August 
 28th, until Saturday, September 2nd. The order for each 
 day wss a follows : — . n r 
 
 6 a. m., Reveille, 7 a. m., Church Parade m front ot 
 the Chaplain's tent. 7.30, Breakfast. 8 45, Camp Inspec- 
 tion 9.30, Bathing Parade. 10.30, Physical Drill. 12 30, 
 Dinner. 4.30 p. m., Full-dress Parade and Company Drill. 
 6 p. m., Lights out. On Friday. September 1st, General 
 Montgomery-Moore most kindly came down and inspected 
 the camp and the boys, and expressed himself pleased with ^

 their progress. Several promotions were made by the 
 General. °A squad of the Brigade was also permitted to 
 take part in the annual Tournament of the Garrison, and 
 give an exhibition of physical drill. The Company have 
 just recived their rifles from England, and as the cost of 
 these has been so heavy, there will be no camp this year

 St. Alban's is now entirely free of debt, and has been 
 duly deeded over to the authorities of St. Luke's Owing 
 chiefly to the loving and generous care of Mr. and Mrs. 
 G. E. Franklyn of " Ernscoto," it is not only suitably but 
 even handsomely furnished The altar is always beautiful 
 with flowers and properly vested, the services always bright 
 and hearty, and the celebrations of the Holy Communion 
 well attended. During the past year a very handsome ala- 
 baster Font has been placed in the Church, purchased by 
 the contributions of the Sunday School and others. The 
 Sunday School is large and efliciently managed. There are 
 upwards of 60 scholars on the roll. Through the kindness 
 of Mrs. Franklyn and Mrp. Thompson, they have had^ their 
 annual Christmas trees and summer pic-nics. The Super- 
 intendent of the school has been Mr. A. W. Purcell, and 
 the teachers, Boy's Classes, Mrs. Franklyn and Miss Lowe, 
 and Girl's Classes, Miss Morle, Mrs. A. W. Purcell, Miss 
 Slayter and Miss Franklyn. The Mission has lecently 
 suftered a great loss in the departure of Miss Morle for her 
 home in England. As organist, Sunday School teacher, 
 visitor of the sick, and irdeed as one always at work tor the 
 Church we will sorely miss her, but we trust that others 
 will be found to take a like interest, and do as iaithful work 
 
 for St. Alban's. n i? 
 
 The firiancial statement, presented by Mr. u. £.. 
 Franklyn, Treasurer, at the last Easter Meetiog was most 
 favourable, showing a total of $387.57 from January 1st, 
 1893, to March 15th, 1894.

 This is a portion of the Parish sadly needing attention. 
 Since the little old Chapel was pulled down about three 
 years ago, services have been held in cottages vented for 
 the purpose, but this was running away with the money 
 which had been collected for the building of the new 
 Church, and eventually the cottages had to be given up. 
 Work at this Mission is practically at a stand still. We 
 have a site promised, and if that should fail us a site of our 
 own, we have a lot of stone purchased by the late Rector, 
 and we have $600 in cash. A plan is to be prepared for a 
 little wooden Church with a stone foundation to cost not 
 more than $1,000, which it is hoped will be built this fall, 
 and then more efficient and satisfactory work can be done 
 at St. Augustine's.
