JAMES SPENCER. There have been no material changas in this parish since ray last report. The work of the Church has gone along without anything to disturb the harmony of the parish or to prevent the development of spiritual life among the parishioners. The services have been regularly and punctually held, and the attend- ance at all the means of grace has been fair. Several losses and additions have been made in the number of the congregation at Camphellton, while the outlying districts have been looked after, as far as circumstances of weather and roads have permitted. The small church at Campbellton has been painted and renovated on the outside, and the time-worn fence around the church lot has been removed to give place to a better one. Mr. Shives is very kindly supplying the material for this free of charge, and several men belonging to the congre- gation are erecting it without cost to the parish. There are usually three or four services each Sunday in this parish and two Sunday-schools. As a rule the services are hearty, and the work of the choir and teachers most commend- able. The lady, who for eighteen years lias had charge of the organ at Campbellton, has now resigned. Her faithful services will be long remembered. Miss Eva Spencer has taken Miss Murray's place. The ladies of our Guild have been doing help- ful work during the past year in raising funds for the rectory, which still has a debt of nearly three hundred dollars. There are but few among our congregation in a position to afford much financial support. A large number of our men earn but small wages, and what with their house rent, taxes, and everything in the way of food supplies to buy, many of them are very closely run ; quite a number of them earn less than three hundred dollars a year, still they help as best they can; and now we have adopted the weekly envelope offertory system they may, by giving a little weekly, give more in the end. I have made a personal canvass of every person in the congregation upon the subject, and have put the system into operation at the request of our last Easter meeting. We know now exactly what is promised, and hope to see the conditions fulfilled. We have tried to assist the work of the Church beyond the limits of the parish and diocese as heretofore, but our contri- butions have been necessarily small. With the assessment and the expenses of carrying on our work we have to raise at least nearly seven hundred dollars 6 yearly, and this does not Include anything for repairs on rectory, go that we find our resources taxed to the utmost limit. Still we would not dare to complain, for as the work is (Jod's we must bel'.eve that He is ahle and ready to lead us arij^ht so long as we trust in His fatherly hand. It is with pleasure that we are able to realise that perfect good will exists between rector and his parishioners, and it is earnestly desired that his services may be made an eternal bless- ing to many* There are willing hands and hearts ready to assist in carrying on the work, and we cannot but hope that a blessing will Ije theirs for anything done for the cause of Christ and His Church. The church at Dawsonville is well cared for and kept in spotless order by the Dawsons and others of the congregation. The rector is always welcomed among them as well as by those living in the different other little settlements. The winter up here is very long and cold and the greater part of the people find their hands full to earn a mere living. It is no unusual thing to see the little children in the country running about in the winter barefooted \v four or five feet of snow. Want of proper clothing, as well as want of thrift, prevent many from attending the services of the church, but they jire visited and instructed in their homes or in some building borrowed for the purpose of service or instruction. His Lordship the Bishop kindly sent a box of Bibles last Christmas, which were distributed among the poorer children, and received with gratitude. In conclusion, I must thank the Board of Home Missions for its continued grant, without which this pai'ish could not maintain its work, while it is very necessary that our people should feel that upon them rests the duty of supporting the work. Should the time come when it is possible to get along without a grant, I feel sure the paiish will be ready to relieve the Board of the amount now given. To God we owe constant praise and thanksgiving for His many and continued mercies and blessings. To His glory, through Jesus Christ, may all our efforts be directed till the church militant becomes the church triumphant. ALBERT -REV. ALLAN W. SMTTHERS. B.A. I entered upon the work of this misHion on the eighth day of June, 1898, anrl no ciiiinot attempt to give an extended account of the condition of the Church in the County of Albert. It may therefore suttice to .say that ho far I have been received with the greatest kindness everywhere, and by all men, and that I firmly believe tliat tlie Church will win her way and hold her own, and more than her own, if we are only faithful to the charge committed to our care. I am not going into ancient history, to refer to past neglects and past mistakes; it is for us to make the best of our present opportunities, and to sow the seed now, that others may reap hereafter. Difficulties — and grave difficulties— doubtless exist, but I feel that I have been sent not to clironicle, but to overcome, them ; and, in my weakness, I cast myself upon the love of my brethren, relying upon their sympathy, and asking the prayers of the whole Church. During the last three weeks I have visited Hillsborough, Hopewell, Riverside, Albert, Harvey, New Ireland, Church Hill and Mechanics' Settlement, and have discovered over one hundred people who claim to be members of the Church of England. This progress throughout the county is suggestive, not so much of rapid promotion as of rapid locomotion. How- ever, the work is stimulating and the results are in higher hands. Some of the churches are in good repair ; two, however, are almost in ruins. Services have so far been held in the parish church, and in halls at Albert, Hillsborough, Church Hill; and in Mechanics' Settlement the use of a handsome structure, built by the Presbyterians, has beeji kindly placed at ray disposal. I wish to express here my sense of obligation to the Rev. A. J. Cressvvell, who, at great perscmal inconvenience, drove me from Hillsborough to Riverside and introduced me to some members of the Church, and who also has given me a great deal of information that will be extremely useful to me in my attempt to work this large mission. The condition of the Church here is certainly not satisfactory, after a vacancy of twelve years, but we are not in despair. In. fact there is no such word as despair in the bright lexicon of Albert. We do not seek the pity of the diocese, but we do ask for the sympathy, the love and the prayers of our brethren in our eflforts 11 8 to raise once more the standard of the Church. The truth is,, that the Hag which was at half-mast has been run out to th'* peak, and by God's help we must keep it there. In closing I must ask the Board of Home Missions to deal very gently with this mission, and we recognize with gratitude the generous treat- ment so far meted out to us. To the principle of assessment we oflfer no academical objection ; we merely object to the assessment itself. Give us f/ime to view the beauties of tnat system at a respectful distance, and mean^vhile we will endeavor to do our best for ourselves and for others after awhile. Charity begins at home, but does not stay there. So much for Albert. And T would now ask the indulgence of the Synod to say a parting word on bebalf of my first and well-beloved mission of Waterford and St. Marks, which I have just left after eight years of hard but happy service. This mission I served as a deacon for one year, and as a priest for seven years, and I think it only right to acknowledge here and now the unfailing kindness I have ever received Trom the parishioners of that gal- lant little mi.ssion ; to acknowledge their loving obedience, their noble generosity, their kindly forbearance and '' eir unswerving loyalty. I am glad to be able to state that my old mission was not left vacant upon my removal to Albert. The Rev. Arthur A. Slipper is non- in charge of it ; I predict for him a happy pastorate in the new work which he has undertaken; I feel confident that under his zealous efforts the mission of Waterford and St. Marks will be true to its past record and go forward by leaps and bounds ; and I wish him God speed in the work which he has ro splendidly begun. ANDOVER — REV. S, BACON HILLOCK. 1 began work in the parish of Andover December 5th, the second Sunday in Advent. Tho spirit of peace has been in our midst during the seven months past, and I sincerely hope and pray that the "fruit of the spirit," "against which there is no law," may be with us through the coming days. Mission Chvrch—Clenhurn DistriH. Services are held first Sundxy in each month, 3.30 p. m.; third Sunday, 10.30 a. m celebration of the Holy Eucharist, The inhabitants of this, district, irrespective of cr^ed, attend our service, and the sealing capacity of the little chajvl is ger.. rally taxed to its utmost. IvW 9 The responses are hearty. The singing is enthusiastic. The- whole congregation act as choir, and they do their part with earnestness. This mission carries the gospel to a number of people who otherwise might not hear its sound once a year. St. John's, Medley Memorial, Church — Four Falls District. Services are held second Sunday, 7.30 p. m.; fourth Sunday, 10.30 A. M. As yet there is no regular time for the administra- tion of the Blessed Sacrament in this district. The people seem interested. The congregation, as a rule, is equal to the size of the church. The responses are not as hearty as they might be ; but this, no doubt, is due to a lack of prayer books. We hope to be able to overcome this difficulty in a few months. Until recently we have not been able to have much music in our worship. Now we have a new organ, on which thirty-five dollars have already been paid. A small choir has been organ- ized, and 1 have begun giving instruction in the singing of Church music. St. GeoTfje's Church — Bairdsville District. Services are held second Sunday 10.30 a.m. celebration of the Holy Eucharist; fourth Sunday, 7.30 p. m. The work here has been satisfactory so far. The congregations have more than met our expectations. The responses are hearty, ai-d the people seem to love their Church. A Sunday-school will be organized shortly, and this I will visit occasionally for the purpose of giving catechetical instruction. Trinity Church — Village oj Andover. Services are held Fridays, 7.30 p. m.; first Sunday; 10.30 a. m., celebration of Holy Eucharist, and evening prayer, 7.30 p m. ; second Sun- day, 3.30 p. M ; third Sunday, 7.30 p. m. ; fourth Sunday, 3.30 p. M. ; and on every fifth Sunday, 10.30, a. m. and 7. 30 i'. M. On the third Sunday a special service for the children is held at which in place of a sermon catechetical instruction is given. The congregations, although they do not always fill the church, are all that can be expected. The responses are heaity. There is a well organized choir and tlie rendering of the music is unusually good. The work here has been carried on with a good will l»y all parties concerned. The Woman's Aid Society has contributed largely towards paying the parish debt. The cemetery has been enlarged and improved. A new fence has been erected about the same, the wire for which was donated by the Page Wire Fence Co. Other donations were as follows : — T.he sum ai' repairs on organs, by several millmen a large lamp over the front entrance to the church, and a bra88> 10 altar-cross by Mr. and Mrs. C. LeB. Miles.

THE CATHEDRAL, FREDERICTON— VERY REV. F. PARTRIDGE, D. D., Dean. The cathedral occupies a peculiar position in this diocese, which is probably unique in the Anglican communion. It is the Bishop's church, belonging to him, and in which he is rightly supreme. It is attended by a large and regular congregation, the pastoral care of which is assigned to the Dean, who is assisted in it by the sub-Dean. The cathedral clergy, with the full con- currence of the rector of the parish, have charge, likewise, of a mission at Morrison's Mills, where services are held every Thurs- day evening throughout the year, and occasionally on Sundays. At the cathedral, the mother church of the diocese, divine worship is held daily, in the morning at 9, and in the evening at 5, except on the festivals, when morning prayer is at 11, with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. During the seasons of Advent and Lent evening services are held on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30, and during Holy Week every evening at 7.30. The Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday at 8 a. m., and on the first Sunday in each month at the 1 1 o'clock service as well. The relations of the cathedral and the parish church are of the most cordial character. The parochial Sunday-school is held in the church hall, which is used for all church gatherings, and which, when the improvements now in progress are completed, will be one of the most commodious buildings of the kind in the diocese. There is a chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew in con- nection with the cathedral, of which the Dean is chaplain ; and a second one at the Mills, under the superintendence of the sub- Dean. There is also a church club of over forty members, of which the Dean is president, which meets during the winter months for discussion of matters beneficial to the church. A Bible class is held on Friday afternoons, for women, by the Dean, and one on Friday evenings, for young people, by the sub-Dean. The Women's Bible Class has been studying the Acts of the 18 Apostles dunng the last seuHon, with interest and profit, and the sub-i eans class have been engaged on the Prayer J^oolc Ihe rmnistrations of the Church are kept up with great regu- larity, and although matiy losses have been sustained during the past year by the death and removal of nuunbers of the church Iv? r'", "i '"i"^^"^ l!^ confirmation and otherwise, and il may be truly sa.d that the work of the Church is prospering. We try, at the cathedral, to make all members of the Church who may visit us feel thoroughly at home, and especially to welcome the clergy. Any help, advice, or assistance that can be given to theru, and more particularly the younger among them. IS most cheerfully and gladly afforded. otheT'^form ^''^'''''^ '^''^''" ""^ """" "^""^ ^'""^ ^^""^ presented in an- iiill I CARLETON— REV. W. H. SAMPSON. .„ -^^'^n ^T!: ''^''^'''l ^^'^ ^'^^'^^ 3'ear of my ministry in the parish of Carleton, and by the blessing of God's Holy Split upon that ministry, I can report a steady increase in the number of communicants and in the number attending the Sunday school. My people are devout and earnestly reverent in Divine worship "htfirrrrcr"^ -''' -^^^^^ ^^^^^>-^^ 'y ^ -"^'-^-- During the past year I have held 190 services for Divine worship. There have been 40 baptisms, 10 marriages, 23 burials 21 have been confirmed. The Sunday school has 230 on its roH with 20 officers and teachers. There is a communicant roll of 2'>o' 150 of whom received the sacrament on Easter Sunday have W "^' ^^" ^'^^^^ of Foreign, Domestic and Home Missions have been made in accord with the wish of the Bishop and the CHATHAM -REV. CANON FORSYTH, B.A. In accordance with the "legal and honest" request of the Lord Bishop, I beg to submit to the Synod the following report of work n niy cure tor the year just ended, which was th^ twLty fiflh of my incumbency. In the first place I am thankful to say tiiat the close of this year ha* been marked by the let^Jn. of he 19 contract for the fini.shin^^ of the restoration and improvement of S. Mary's Chapel. The work will probably he executed within the next two months, and then a (juarter of a century of the church's history will he fittingly celebrated by the completion of additions and improvements in the material falirics of the church in our parish which will V)e of enduring advantage and satisfac- tion. Home account of the building of our rectory and Sunday- school house, the purchase of an organ for S. Mary's, and the re-construction and re-furnishing of S. Paul's and S. P4ary'a churches will be found recorded in a recent history of the Progress of the Church of England in our Diocese of Fredericton. And so confining ray report, which \ have been admonished should be "concise, but as full and interesting as possible," to the work of the year just ended, I proceed to say that the public services have been held without interruption in S. Paul's (Parish) Church, and S. Mary's Chapel of Ease, one service being held on each Sunday in the former church, which is three and one- half miles out of town, and two and three services on alternate Sundays in the latter, which is in town. The Holy Communion has been celebrated on every Sunday and holy day in S. Mary's, and once a month and on festivals falling on Sundays in S. Paul's. The morning and evening prayers have been said daily and "openly" in S. Mary's Chapel of Ease, when I have not been "let by sickness or some other just cause." The attend- ant te of the people has varied from none to fifty on weekdays. When none have been present I have recognized the company of the faithful in the Holy Church throughout the world, and that of the angels and archangels and the heavenly host, and not considering myself alone, have endeavored to lead all who may to aim at the ideal of the Psalmist when he said : " Prayer shall be made ever unto Him, and daily shall He be praised." The attendance at the Sunday services has been from two to fifteen at early communion, forty at morning prayer with litany at S. Mary's at 9.30 o'clock ; seventy-five at 1 1 o'clock and one hundred and twenty-five at 6.30 p. m.; fifty at S. Paul's at 11 A.M., and forty-five at 3 p.m.; the whole average attendance representing slightly more than one-half of the whole church population of the parish, viz.: 400, including children and adults. The area of the parish is twenty-seven square miles, and the distance of the farthest parishioner from church is about six miles. One hundred and twenty-six communicants have com- municated at least once during the year.

Their work is not tjuite complete, but I have no doubt thai the increase of contributions will be $62 more than last year, bringing the amount up to 1100, so that the total sum raised in the parish for all i)urposes of the Church has been about $1,700. The contract for the completion of S. Mary's chapel repairs has been let at $1,475, and handsome contributions towards this object, of $500 from His Honor Judge Wilkinson, and $50 from Mr. F. E. Danville, have already been made. With like exemplary contributions from others, and in thank ofterings on such occasions as Harvest Thanksgiving, which it is suggested may be made, the hope and prospect is that very soon our church re*stora*^ion will be complete and paid for, in the most excellent way of free-will offerings. T conclude my report, which I hope may be satisfactory to your lordship and the Synod, with the prayer of Nehemiah of old, that G»)d may think upon those for good who have by their interest, sympathy and gifts of means, contributed to the further- ance of the past year's work for God and His Church. '2^. DERBY & BLACKVTLLE-REV. C. O'DELL BAYLEE. The parish and mission of Derby and Blackville lies on both sides of the Miramichi, Cains and Renous rivers for a distance of thirty miles. The rectory is situated in the parish of Derby, about one mile from St. Peter's, fifteen from Trinity, and sixteen miles from St. Agnes. Owing to the distances I can only give the following services each month : St. Peter's, Derby, second and fourth Sundays, 11 a. m.; Sunday-school 2.30 p.m., and 7 p.m. Trinity, Blackville, first and third Sundays, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. St. Agnes, JDiackviiie, nrst u,iiu s/iuiu jounuaya, ^.o\j f. si. s-t. — ^ .•YV. %..\ \'0 . i lil the winter and early spring it is a very difficult matter to keep u^ the services, ^ Now, if we are to retain our hold on such a scattered popu- lation, more frequent services ought to be given to them than wtial they now receive. An occasional visit will not supply the place of the due ministrations of the Church, nor prevent our people from being absorbed by other bodies o^ Christians who exceed us in numbers. Having laboured in this field for six years, I would resp6ct- tully suggest that some re-arrangement of the Church's work be made in the County of Northumberland. A part of its population scarcely ever see the face of a clergyman of the Church of England especially on the Northwest Miramichi and its tributaries But considering the many claims that press heavily upon the funds of the diocese I would suggest that a committee be appointed by the Lord Bishop to visit this large and important county and see what could be done. J ^ We niust remember that there is only one resident clergyman between Newcastle and Marysville, a distance of about eighty I am thankful to say that the work of the Church has aone on without any serious interruption during the past year The services are well attended, the Church property all insured, and tree rrom debt. While humbly thanking God for past mercies, T commit the tuture of thi.s large mission to His holy care. DORCHESTER -REV. J. R. CAMPBELL, B.D. I would be glad if I could speak not only of general prosperity, but also of numerical increase in our parish. But it falls to my lot to recor^d the departure, during the past year, of very many members of our flock. r- j , y nmny I always much regret the removal of whole families from our midst, inasmuch as, not being a commercial or mercantile people we have but slight ground for hoping for their return, or of the vacancies, created by their removal, being filled by others Our one consolation is, to know that they are doing the work of the Church, like so many others who have left us during the past fifteen years, in other parishes, and even in other lands 1 have also to mourn the loss by death within the year of fn'JfT'^"''';r^'' ''^•' •"''' ^"' '^'"'''"^' ^^^'-^ "^^^tirne, support- ing friends of home mission work of the Church. 23 Bi* to keep red popu- heni than upply the ?vent our ians who 1 respesct- i work be opulation England, ies.

FKEDERICTON-REV. CANON ROBERTS, M. A. In addition to the usual statistics of work done in thi* parish, the report from Fredericton has for many years past consisted simply of the statement of the amount collected for home missions. So far as my own personal labours are concerned, I do not desire to depart from this time-honored custom. I am indeed humbly thankful to Almighty God for such measure of succeci as He lias granted to those imperfect efforts. Beyond this I would only add a few brief acknowledgments. First, I would acknowledge the thoughtful love of the Church people of Fredericton, among whom I have been ministering now for five and twenty years as rector. Their kindness not only urged my taking a two months' rest and change, but also provided most generously the means which enabled me to do so, while the warm words of affectionate confidence, which accompanied their gift^ were even more helpful than the gift itself. And in this con- nection I wish to refer to a dear friend and brother, whose prompt and unselfish offer to become responsible for the services at the parii:h church during my absence, made it possible for me to leave without anxiety. We all remember with affectionate sorrow the sucMen death of the venerable priest, who for more than fifty years had done faithfully and well the work of the ministry within this Diocese. As a refined and cultured Christian gentleman, devout and holy in his life, full of wisdom and good works, he retained alway* the sincere affection and respect of his brethren the clergy, and of all among whom he ministered I cannot speak as 1 would of my own personal loss, both in his friendship and in his ever-ready help.

In short, the church has assumed a <5ompletely diflerent aspect. It is beautiful to look at inside. When a late rector was lying in state in the church, one of his sons could not help admiring the church, and saying how his father would have likt-d to see the church as it is now. But it is not only the church which has been thus improved. The tottering fence around it and the burial ground has been replaced by a handsome one of woven wire, and all bushes have been cut down and monuments raised up. A new burial ground, too, has been acquired and consecrated, and a pretty fence placed around it. A horse shed, large enough to hold six horses and carriages, and to store the fuel for the church, has been built some little distance from the church. Both the rectory And barn have been properly shingled, and the interior of the rectory has been greatly improved. The leg fence around the grounds has been removed and a pretty fence now surrounds them. Among other improvements we may mention the large addition of books which has been made to the library of the Sunday-school. Nearly one hundred dollars have been expended for this purpose. We have to thank the S. P. C. K. for one donation of £1 0. An organ has also been procured for the school- house at Summerhill. We are thankful to say that these things are all paid for, and that we owe no man anything but love. In the autumn we hope to give the church a prettier coat of paint on the outside. Our Women's Aid and King's Daughters have made us grants for this purpose. vSome money is also on hand for painting the Sunday-school building. We also beg to report that the success of the services on the Mill Road, begun last year, has greatly exceeded the rector's most sanguine expectations. The attendance has been constantly increasing. The interest it has aroused in the Church in that locality has been very marked. None of the people are rich in this world's goods ; but before anyone outside suggested any- thing of the kind, the rector was handed a purse and thirty-five dollars as a mark of appreciaticm of the services. As to the spiritual state of the parish, we shall not venture to make any revelation. The kingdom of God does not come with observation. We only thank God that during the past seven years none have been alienated from the Church through any fault of the rector, or indeed for ariy cause, and that at this moment we appear in perfect harmony among ourselves, working together in love for the dear Church of England, and endeavour- iiig to worship Him in spirit and in truth. H % uiii 1 ^1 '1 i 1 26 Though the past year has been one of great personal anxiety and depression to tlie rector, and everything has been done under great difficulty, and much, alas ! left undone, still the clouds have not been without their silver lining. In some respects the year has been a very pleasant one. It has called out kindness and sympathy and thoughtfulness when thev were never suspected Rich and poor, young and old, Church people and people outside the Church, seem to have vied with each other in kindness. And thus our hearts have been drawn together as they never were before. May God bless and reward them all •M OR AND MANAN-REV. W. S. COVERT, B.A. I came to Grand Manan twenty-five years ago.

It was agreed a church should be built. Mr. Gaskell, who gave the land, gave several hundred dollars, became our treasurer, employed workmen, received and paid such money as was collected. I obtained a plan from a well-known architect in St. John. Bishop Medley was generous. The corporation of Trinity Church, St. John, gave us windows. Our people contri- buted liberally. Some friends outside the parish assisted, and so we built the church. I may add that since its erection we have received two handsome gifts from St. Stephen and one from New York. During the twenty-four years past there have been 200 marriages, 191 baptisms and 163 burials. The number confirmed has been 67, and there are now about 14 ready and desirous to be confirmed. The number of communicants during the past year was 50, but of these four died before the year closed. The whole num- ber of Church people is about 185. GREENWICH — llEY. H. A. CODY, B.A. it one, of is in St. In 1896 !w. The The work has steadily advanced in this parish during the last year. The regular services have been held in the various places, and the attendance at the services has been very good. As Greenwich is a small parish, services have been held in Speight's Settlement, Petersville, Queens Co., and in the parish of Kars. The latter has been much neglected during past years, and many have been lost to the Church, At present the Church there has a very precarious existence, and the services are held in a vacant room of a farm house. We trust some day to have a small church erected in Kars, but not until steps have been taken to unite it with one of the adjoining parishes, so that the services will be conducted in the future without any serious omission. We are thankful to report a successful series of lectures, illustrated by the so-called " Diocesan Magic Lantern," on English Church History, which we feel have been beneficial in many ways. But this is the only parish in the deanery which has cause to be thankful. The other parishes in the deanery were excluded from its use ; and the only conclusion one can draw from the action of the committee is that they considered ' mi ii'iii 28 the lantern safer locked up in the Book Depository in St. John than if at work disseminating Church history among the people. iwo feunday-schools have been carried on during the past year with splendid success. Not only have we been able to add to our library, but this year we have subscribed for a number of Church papers. \\ hat we need now is the revival of the Sunday- school Teachers Union in this section of the deanery During the past year the registers show 15 persons confirmed, -U baptisms, 9 burials, 1 marriage, and 180 services held HARDWICKE - REV. W. J. WILKINSON, M.A., B.D. The work has been carried on as usual during the year, and discouraged, but much reason for which to thank God and take courage. One or two things of a pleasing nature I might mention which he ped to brighten the year. About fifteen men workeS theoZrLt^' '1 '^'^^'''? ^"^ '^^""^^ "P ^ "«^^ drain from the cellar of the rectory, gxving their work freely and willingly, thus saving the parish paying out twenty or thirty dollars fo^ havmg the work done. Thirty-five dollars were lo spent in repairs on and in getting storm windows for the rectory A balance of twenty-five dollars was paid off on the grav^eyard fence and hfteen dollars for insurance. These, no doubt^o rich parishes appear very trifling, but when the parish is usua% n arrears m its assessment, it is no light matter to meet the e incidental expenses. In my anxiety I appealed to the Women's Aid Association of Fredericton, and I received not only^a very sympathetic letter from the secretary, but a post office o^-der for twenty dollars from the association. I mention this here most gratefully, because what seemed at one time a hard problem was solved at once.

"Whilst we have been greatly helped by the gifts and kind sympathy which I have mentioned, we have met with a loss which, humanly speaking, is a very serious one to the parish, and that is the sudden and unexpected death of John Goymer Williston, who, although he had been churchwarden for twenty years, was comparatively a young man at the time of his death. He was a consistent Churchman, and the parish will miss his wise counsel, and the deep interest he took in all matters con- nected with the Church. I am at present preparing a large class of candidates for confirmation, and in this work I have the valuable assistance of Mr. H. H. Gillies, a Divinity student and graduate of King's College, Windsor. He is now prosecuting his studies at the General Theological Semirary, New York, and is spending his vacation with me, and assisting me in the services. The salmon and lobster fishing are unusually poor here this year, but the crops look well, and I am in hopes the parish will raise the extra amount assessed by the Board of Home Missions without any trouble. I forward this report to be read l)y the secretary, because, owing to the serious and lamented illness of Mrs. Williston, I have asked the Bishop to excuse me from attending the meeting of the Synod this year. JOHNSTON — REV. C. A. S. WARNEFORD. In reporting of this parish many events have taken place of particular interest. On June the 5th his Lordship the Bishop visited the parish to ordain the Rev. H. Cody to the priesthood. At morning prayer the congregation was large, and at the ordination service some four hundred persons were present, filling St. John's Church, Highfield, to its utmost capacity. The Veneral^ie Archdeacon Brigstocke presented the candidate, and at the evening service was the preacher. The Rev C. P. Hanington, former rector of the parish, was present, also Revs. E, Warneford, Pickett and Cresswell. At the Easter Monday meeting it was decided that some repairs should be made on the interior of St. John's Church, as iijii 30 wmmsm KINaSCLEAR - REV. H.

Since last January I have lost fifteen parishioners, nine of whom are communicants, and this means a decrease of not less than twenty- five dollars on our subscription list. There being no industry in the parish outside of agriculture, our young people are obliged to seek work elsewhere. But what is Kingsclear's loss is Fredericton's gain, and we have to content ourselves with the fact that in no small measure we are helping to enlarge the congregations at the Cathedra] and the parish church in Fredericton. We are looking forward, however, to the return of our former parishioners, Lieut. Col. Maunsell and family, whom we gladly welcome back again, and we hope to see his interest of bygone years in parochial and diocesan work, when formerly a resident in the parish, revived again. A beautiful stained glass memorial east window, presented by Mr. and Mrs. John Kilburn, in memory of their only daughter, to S. Mark's church. Upper Kingsclear, was put in place last November, and adds very much to the beauty and dignity of the little church. Unfortunately for us Mrs. Kilburn is one of those worthy parishioners and communicants who has been attracted to Fredericton, and we shall miss very greatly her assistance ?.nd substantial aid in Church work. KecenMy I it»ve begun work, at the request of the people and wHo the consent of the Bishop, in a corner of the parish of Brif;], service once a month in All Saints' church. This church .. t five miles from my rectory, but on the opposite side of th. The attendance at the services is good, and much interest is tviuced in the welfare of the Church. A new fence has just been put around the churchyard, and the few faithful members are preparing to repair and paint the church. Such earnestness and zeal on the part of these people, without being urged by a clergyman, is indeed commendable and deserving of attention. I am able to give them a monthly service only, but even this much they rejoice in getting, and show true appreci- ation in having once more the ministrations of the Church. Having no less than six churches and two stations to attend, at distances varying from five to seventy miles from home, I feel more and more that I cannot do justice to the work demanded 32 little and there a litile!''^ ^ ^ 'P^' ^'"^ "P^" '•°^' ^^ere a I'M LUDLOW* BLrS8FIEU,^REV.H, MONTGOMERY.M.A. outgrown its infantile sta»e —J ; .'

St. Mary's. — One afternoon service, on the last Sunday in the month, is all the little handful of Church people here receive. At this service we have an average congregation of sixty-five. We are much in(lel)ted to Miss Johnson, our organist; although not a member of the Church she never misses a service. I have baptized two infants in this church. St. MioiiAKh AND All Anckls'.— In this, the parish church of Canning, I have three services a month. Two of these are on the last Sunday of the month ; tlie other on a weekday evening. All aie well attended. The average is a little less than last year. This is due to the action of the vestry, taken at my suggestion, of restoring the graveyard to its original and legitimate use — a burial place for members of the Church of England. This has offended some. A new woven wire fence has been built in front of the churchyaid. The material and work were voluntary contribu- tions. Tt adds very much to the appearance of the grounds, and enables us to keep our churchyard neat and clean. The graveyard has been cleaned up ; it now looks decent. During the past year very great difficulty has been experi- enced in raising the amount of our assessment. The people are pr)or, as a rule. We hope and pray for better things in the future.

ALFRED BAREHAM. The work of the Church in this parish, during the past year, has been pursued with a quiet and steady earnestness. The district, l)eing of an essentially rural character, where the people are found uniformly willing and glad to attend Divine service, furnishes but few occasions for any startling outburst of paro- chial enthusiasm. It is never difficult to gather a good congre- gation in any part of this parish, and the people seem anxious to co-operate with the rector in the common duties that the Master has made the parish responsible for. A few details that have marked our progress during the year may call for particular mention. The new church at Mace's Bay is now almost entirely out of debt, a fact which is worthy of note, the cost of the building, about seventeen hundred dollars, being met mainly by the efforts of the people themselves. It is hoped that as soon as a few small legal formalities are arranged, which will soon be the case, the edifice will be duly consecj-ated. The latest additions to this church consist of a new set of lamps, including two handsome brass chandeliers, and an appropriate reading desk — the latter being the gift of G. H. Thomas, Esq., in memory of a sister. In the parish church of Musquash a beautiful window, representing Christ as the Good Shepherd, and which is the work of Messrs. J. C. Spence Sc Sons, of Montreal, has been placed in the chancel. This window is the gift of the men of the congregation. His Lordship the Bishop of the Diocese visited Trinity Church, INIace's Bay, last November and confirmed seventeen persons. The visit of the Rev. O. S. Newnham during the past year could not fail to be of insjtructive interest in stirring up the people to a deeper sense of their connection with, and obligation to, the Diocese at large. The Rev. H. Gomery, the accredited agent for the S.P.C.K., was with us in the spring, and forcibly placed the claims of that society bef(jre the people. His appeal' resulted in a collection of over eight dollars. The pcopli^ of Musquash having presented the rectoi- last fall with a valuable raccoon skin coat, the Mace's Bay and Lepreau frl^Mids during the winter called at the rectory and presented 13i! 38 Mrs Bareham with a coat of the same handsome fur. The people of Prince of Wales a short time afterwards provided the rector with a pair of plucked otter gauntlets. All these ^'lits were accompanied by addresses breathing esteem and affection, and furnish indications of the helpful and appreciative feelings on the part of the people towards the rector in his efforts to meet the exhausting demands of this large parish. Adding to these things, what is most important of all an obvious growth in spiritual life and discernment of Divine realities, 1 feel I am justified in considering that the parish has been moving, and that in the right direction.

A service has been held in this parish every Sunday, with two exceptions, when owing to the state of the roads I was unable to reach the church. The services have been well attended. There has been a celebration of the Holy Communion on the second Sunday in each month, at which the number of communicants has never been less than sixteen, and generally more. His Lordship the ]>ishop visited the piuish on Sunday, October 31st, when seven candidates were presented for the holy rite of confirmation. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, and the Bishop's addresses were listened to with the greatest attention. The week-day evening services held during Lent were well ttended, and the special sermons preached by several of my broiher-clergymen were much appreciated. The clear and able address delivered by the rector of Maugerville on the occasion of the S. P. C. K. anniversary, did much to enlighten the people on the history and work of that great society. The congregation at these Lenten services averaged forty. The Sunday-school, which was re-opened as usual, keeps up to its average number, the children V)eing most regular and attentive scholars. We have twenty-three names on the books. The outside of the church has now been painted, with the exception of the roof, which will receive attention this summer. The women of the congregation have provided a new matting for the aisle this summer, whici has done much to make the church look neat and well cared for. We are also very grateful to Mrs. Medley for the handsome red pulpit hanging presented to the church on Trinity Sunday. Since October, 1897, there have been four baptisms, four burials and one marriage. As tlie churchyard is now getting very much filled up, the advisability of making an addition to it was considered at the vestry meeting, and a committee was appointed to make arrangements for purchasing about a quarter of an acre of land adjoining the present burial ground. I trust this will be accomplished and the ground fenced and ready for consecration before winter sets in. bv year goes •*■■<.• 42 NORTON -REV. C. P. HANINGTON, B.A. There is nothing of special interest to report in connection with Church work in tliis parish. Services have been held regularly at the three churches, at which the congregations were fairly good. This parish, having bravely undertaken, some years ago, to become self-supporting, has not found it at all an easy task which it tcok in hand ; yet it is not discouraged as to the future, but trusts that what it has under'-- - '«■ slial'i always prove able to carry out. We feel, however wo ought not, for some years at least, to be expected to give , ^ry much help to work outside of the parish. Yet our interest in this work has not slackened, we hope, and not only have collections been taken up through the year towards some of the special funds of the Synod, bnt contributions towards the Home Mission Fund to the amount of $17.50 have been already promised, and perhaps this amount will yet be added to before the end of the year. m PETERS VILLE - REV. W. B. ARMSTRONG, M.A. The services have been maintained in this parish during the last year without a break. Involving, as this does, a good deal of exposure and encounter with storms, yet the fact being established, that the clergyman will be always at his post is a great inducement to the people, who generally have considerably shorter distances to travel, to make the effort to attend. During the last winter monthly services wi-o held at Claren- don, a station on the C. P. R., which wei, attended by the lumbermen from a camp adjoining, and also by some of the residents of the place. Some of the foi-mer expressed their delight at hearing the familiar words of the Church service again. At Welsford we have started a fund for new seats for St. Luke's. The church was built over foi'ty years ago, and whilst the building has been improved in other ways, the seats are altogether too stiff and uncomfortable. Accordingly, we com- menced with a concert last year, and by the aid of various entertainments and collecting cards, we have about ninety dollars on hand, so that ere long we hope to have more suitable seats erected. We have met with a gipat loss in the death of Mr. Geo. H. Scribner in April last.

POKTLAND - REV. R. P. McKIM. With thankful acknowledsment to God I nmke this report of wha He has b.on pleased to do with u, dunng the past year. The usual .services have been conducted in the parish church, and an i;:^ea„in.g number of communicants have availed them- and on Krly evenings throughout the year. Attendance has hppn ffood and always a hearty response. **" I O toler of last year I felt led to open =^,. ""•-'« l^™; at Strait Shore Road, a hitherto neglected portion of the city. 44 What was entered upon as a venture soon proved to be a success and we know that much blessing was vouchsafed. Every Sunday in tlie year we conduct a distinctly evangelistic meeting after the usual evening service. In the winter these meetings are held in the school room and the use ot a lantern and slides has proved very helpful. During the summer months an out of doors meeting is held twice in the week, on Thursdays and on Sundays, when large crowds attend. These evangelistic services have borne precious fruit and we know that through them many souls have been joined to the Lord. Every Sunday during the summer all the vessels lying at the wharves, situate in our parish, are visited and the men spoken to about the things of Christ. The Lord Bishop has been pleased to hold two confirmations during the year. One at the parish church at which thirty-two candidates were presented, and one at Millidgeville when ten persons received the laying on of hands. The money contributions have been good ; $250 have been paid on the bonded debt of the church, and $600 to missionary and charitable objects. We have this year, for the first time in the history of the parish, I believe, made a contribution to the mission fund of the Diocese. PRINCE WILLIAM AND DUMFRIES SCOVIL, B. A. REV. G. F. From the first of October until Christmas there were no services held in Prince William nor Dumfries — the rector being absent through illness. So we only report for about six months. But even in that short time we thankfully realize that there has been a certain growth of the Church in our mission. Eighty services have been held, one marriage, two burials, twelve baptisms — four of them adults. Our communicant list has increased fi'om sixty-five, of last year, to eighty-five, not counting about a dozen who communicate only once oi- twice a year, although there are ample opportunities. We had a visit from his Lordship the Bishop during the first part of June, when All Saints' graveyard at Upper Magaguadavic was consecrated, and forty-eight candidates received the rite of confirmation. Ten of these were confirmed u 45 at Hawkshaw, and, so far as we can find out, they were the first ever confirmed in the .arish of Dumfries. During the three mont ditllcult vmit\is for work m tlie .Mission, namely, January, February and March, the rector was assisted by xMr. Mansel Hhewen as Uiy reader, who rendered verv efficient services indeed. The rectory near St. Clement's Church is almost completed. It has cost us between thirteen and fourteen hundred dollars. \t the completion of the rectory this mission will receive eighty dollars less of a grant. We have also voluntarily accepted an increase in assessment of twenty-five dollars. And thus, in fact we have relieved the Diocesan funds from paying one hundred and five dollars annually to the support of the clergy- man in charge of our mission. were no RICHIBUCTO-llEV. H. A.

GEORGE ANT) PEN N FIELD SMITH, M.A. REV. R. E. For nearly forty years I have been connected as a missionary with the old D. C. S., which has lately been merged into the Diocesan Synod, ten years as assistant minister in St. Andrews, and nearly thirty years in .^^. George and Pennfield. It will not be out of place to give a concise resume ot my work during that period. ^ My chief work in St. Andrews was to assist the rector in the services of the Church on the Sunday. , j u ,i Since undertaking my present mission I have liad botii churches repaired and modernized. During the first eighteen months of my incumbency the fine rectory in which we live was built ; S500 of the $3,000 required was collected in the churc^i^ In those days we generally collected about $200 yearly foi the DCS In connection with this I might mention the name ot the late Mrs. Joshua Knight, who was our yearly collector io her this dutv was a labour of love, and faithfully she fulfilled it^ Referring to my record, I find that I have baptized 8S0 persons; ilO persons have been confirmed; 179 marriages nave Cn celebrated and I have performed over 420 bodies the las sad obsequies of the dead. What a large congregation these would form If all brought together, equal to about four or more of my usual congregations! During the same period I have held 6,285 services, .uid have given 6,28.^ sermons and addres.e.

In the matter of giving, it is hard to uproot the early education of the people when they got their religious privileges for nothing, and they were spoiled under the too fostering care and generosity of the good old S. P. G. The \veaning process began too late. Under the first rector, for a period of twenty years or so, they had to pay nothing at all; under the second rector, my predecessor, very little, and now the people's subscriptions for the sustentation of the Church,, compared with other denominations, are ridiculously small, and I fear that while their ears were tickled by Mr. Montgomery's eloquence, the result will be small. About "hard times" you will expect to hear something, I suppose. Secularly, "hard times" have departed: ecclesiasti- cally they are present. It is much easier to get rid of " hard times" than " hard hearts." It is our earnest desire and hope, that under our new organ- ization, our dear old Church will be built up and prosper, but we will have to avoid " rtl tape ■' and not make so many calls- for such a muliiplicity of objects upon our poor and struggling country parishes, which have all they can do to keep above water. * However, we will endeavor to meet the demands made^ upon us. I hope I have been "concise" if not "interesting." ST. JAMES, ST. JOHN— REV. A. D. A. DEWDNEY. In response to the request of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese I have much pleasure in submitting the following report During the year the work of the Church has gone on with much to encourage. The presence of the Holy Spirit has been mani- fested in blessings which have accompanied the preaching of the gospel, in the unity and harmony of the congregation, in the earnestness and reverence of their worship, and in the strength- ening and upbuilding of souls. The present u niber of communicants is the largest in the history of the pa-ish, and gives evidence that Christ Jesus has not been preached in vain. Three years ago, for the conveni- ence of a few^, evening communions were adopted, and have been greatly appreciated and are now largely attended. Contributors to the funds of the Church have increased between 30 and 40 per cent., and a geneial interest in spiritual matters has been shown. To accommodate our large school it has been found necessary to enlarge our school house. Funds have been col- 53 be ngth- lected for this purpose, and the work will, it is expected^ completed in a couple of months fre^ of debt. , ..ff o»f It would take t^o long to refer to the work of the different parochial societies, and what they have accomplished, and fur- ther reference to their loyal co-ope.-ation is omitted. The annual subscriptions to the diocesan funds wdl not be received till September. What they will aggregate it is impos- sible to say. $11.75 has already been handed in. During the year we have lost a number of our oldest and most re pected members. With respect to one of these I may be pemii'tted a word of tribute. The late l^^bt^W. Crookshank waffor more than a quarter of a century warden of bt. Ja'^^S 'Xn^ for many years a representative to this Synod.

L>ax. ''^ j ^^„„ot, however, the request that we P';^«f"^'\"X'^tork during that period ban forbear from saying tha ;f;^;^^^^°^h,s been marked through- r l" r;':^S^ of';r ::::rosity and kindness on the 54 part of my congregation, crowned a.s those acts were in 1895, when by the liberal bequest of the late Charles Merritt, Esq., the -parish came into the possession of a very handsome property, consisting of a commodious house, garden and stable, to be used as a rectory, and which after having been put in thorough good order by the kindness of the vestry of my church, was placed at the disposal of myself and family for occupation. One other feature of mv work I must be allowed to mention, namely, that notwithstanding the absorbing character of ray large parish in a very busy city, I have always made it my endeavor to assist in carrying on the work of the Diocese. The past yeai- has not been marked by any special event, but all has gone on with complete harmony, unflagging interest and with much hearty co-operation. This is, I feel, a good deal lo say, and could not have been said in former years. That ubiquitous person, the aggrieved parishioner, seems to have left us, at any rate we do no not hear from him, and we therefore hope he no longer exists. I am sincerely thankful for this condition of affairs, for though manv storms threaten which never come down, and do no hurt, yet it is distracting and unsettling to be always attending to adjusting a machine rather than working it. In this connection I M'ould acknowledge the kind readiness with which all members of the vestry take up the work belong- ing to them, and which often enough makes heavy demands upon them. The pioperty, the buildings, the burial ground, and even the dispensing of charity, pleasant though it may be to relieve want, all call for much attention, and uuxch devotion of their time. The services of the Church which form our first care, are, considering all things, satisfactorily attended. The celebrations of the Holy Communion every Lord's day, and on saints' days, command, we are glad to say, an increasing attendance, and give at least some proof of greater appreciation of spiritual food, and greater desire for higher spiritual attainments. Full advan- tage is sought to be taken of the seasons of Advent and Lent by arranging for sermons on special subjects, and for giving special instruction on some aspect of truth or of the Christian life. Holy week is on the whole well observed, and (iood Friday increasingly so. Offertories are devoted regularly twice in the year to diocesan missions, also annually to foreign and domestic missions, as directed by the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, for the parochial objects of the District Nurse Fund, 55 and Sunday-school, and many other miscellaneous objects which circumstances may call for. Parochial AssociatiortK.— Oi these mention must be first made of the Sunday-school. I am glad to report favourably of its condition. We are fortunate enough to have a good superin- tendent and a faithful body of teachers and otticers, numbering twenty-eight. I find the" lessons approved by liie Provincial Synod", and sent out with notes by a committee from Toronto, satisfactory. They combine Bible and Prayer Book subjects in regular order, so that any painstaking teacher is well supplied with abundant material from which to teach. Last Advent and Lent, a new departui-e in the matter of instruction was made by instituting a service for public catechising each Sunday in the church for the scholars. This plan proved successful, and will in all probability be again adopted on the return of these seasons. Besides making special offerings in Advent and Lent for the " Children's Mission Fund," in compliance wrth the letter from the committee for interesting Sunday-schools in mission work, each class at the beginning of the year guarantees a fixed sum for the missions of the Church; the amount thus raised is devoted to the support of the Indian boy in the home at Elkhorn, North West Territories, to diocesan missions and some benevolent objects. By this method, it is sought to pro- mote regular and systematic giving for the Church's work. In connection with the Sunday-school, and as a constrtu^nt part of it, there is a branch of the Daybreak Workers' Unron, for enlisting the interest and co-operation of the younger grrls in Zenana missionary work. Under the superintendence of a few teachers this band of young workers meets from about October ot the end of June, every Monday evening, for making various articles, which are forwarded to India to the Zenana schools. This band has been in operation two years, and so far has worked satisfactorily. . The Younc' Men's Association, now in its eighth year, proves invaluable in keeping the young men of our congregation to^ aether The number on the roll is sixty-five. Ihe work of Sshering, as the showing of visitors to the church into seats is called, is done entirely by the association, and so far very care- fully and satisfactorily. Then, in conjunction with the Young Women's (iuild, the associat'on decorates the church, and ar- ranges for entertainments through the winter months, which, for noveltv and variety can hardly be surpassed. The associ- ation takes the burden of the work of the Sunday-school pic-nic. 56 when it is held, and proves itself, by its hearty co-operation, a most valual)l( organization. The association contributes ten dollars to diocesan missions. The Young Women's Guild, established in November, 1(S90, is also flourishing, and carries on its work most assiduously and successfully. It meets every week, and each alternate week the rector attends the meetings and gives prayer book instruction for the first hour. Its membership numbers about forty. The guild contributes twenty dollars to diocesan missions. The Guild of Nazareth is for our boys who have been con- firmed, and is therefore not of large dimensions. It is doing a verj' useful work in trying to keep in touch with boys growing up into manhood. It has met with success. One of our annual parochial events is a sale of fancy and other articles on behalf of missions. It is carried on under no organization, but is participated in by all in the congregation who care to and are kind enough to help. The proceeds are usually divided between our diocese and Algoma, in the pro- portion of ♦^Avo-thirds to the former, and one-tliird to the latter. Many thousands of dollars have been rdsed by this means. Our chapter of the Brotherhood of 8t. Andrew, No. 136, is in full operation, and does much useful work. Members visit the hotels in the parish, vhicii are the lai'gest in the city, every Saturday evening, and le ve printed invitations for the guests remaining over Sunday to the services iti the church. Many strangers respond to this invitation. Once a month the chapter takes charge of. an evening in the seamen's mission, providing a programme of an entertaining or religious character, or both, for the sailors who frequent the rooms. A men's Bible class, under the auspices of the chapter, is held from about the first of Nov- ember to the end of April. It is very ably presided over by the director, Mr. Robert Matthew, and has been successful. The numV)er on the roll last season was thirty-five. It is open to all over 16 years of age who like to attend it. I may here make mention of a Bible class for ladies, presided over by myself. It is held usually for five months in the winter seasons, and is always largely attended. It was set on foot in 1876, and with an interruption cansed by the great fire in 18'^7, has been carried on for these many years, with unabated interest. Both by thosp who attend it, and by myself, its sessions are regarded as among the happiest and most profitable hours in the week. 57 Our annual confirmation was held on Tuesday, April '20, when seventeen were confirmed. For the favourable character of the work of the parish, I am much indebted to my valued curate and assistant, Rev. Wm. Eatough. This report— a summary though it may be of the work car- i-ied on — has grown to longer proportions than was intended, and this fact may perhaps lead to a re-consideration of the re- (juest made to rectors of city parishes to furnish a leport at all. It is difficult to see what purpose can be served thereby, when the chief statistics pertaining to the parish have already been fuinished under the provisions of Canon XXI. MISSION CHURCH OF S. JOHN BAPTIST, ST. JOHN- REV. J. M. DAVENPORT, M.A. The little Mission Church has pursued the even tenor of its way during the past year with but little variation from its ordinary routine of Sunday and week-day services, Sunday- school work and the work of guilds and classes. The statistics aie about the same as usual—over 1,300 services in the Church, of which 486 were celebrations of the Holy Communion, (over 400 early, viz., 7 and 8 a. m.), 128 sermons, 50 catechizings. Special services ancF courses of sermons in Advent and Lent ; 27 baptisms (4 adult, 23 infant), 27 confirmed, 8 ^funerals, 4 weddings. The roll of communicants is at present 270. The majority 'of these are nominally monthly communicants, though some of them communicate less frequently, and some few not more than three times a year, while on the other hand some communicate once a week, or fortnightly, and some few more freciuently still. ,,. . ^u i One very important event in the life of the Mission Church happened this year, vi/.: the parochial mission conducted by the Rev R Dolling, late of S. Agatha's, Portsmouth. For four months previous to his arrival in St. John, careful preparation was made by intercessions, tract distribution and frequent instructions, for the efforts he. was about to make for the conver- sion of sinners to God and the strengthening of the faithful. His labours were unceasing during the ten days he devoted to our welfare. Four times a day he preached, and during the intervals he spent much of his time in personal attention to souls The city of St. John had some evidence given it of the 58 ability and power uf the iniH.sioner in the large meeting of men only, addressed on the Sunday afternoon in the Mechanics' Institute, and the daily mid-day address to men only in the Church of England Institute, kindly lent to me for the purpovse by the Venerable Archdeacon of St. John. As a congregation, we have much reason for heartfelt gratitude to God for the spiritual benefits gained from the visit of so eminent an English missioner, and we ail feel the responsibility laid upon us to answer more earnestly than ever to God's call to advance in the spiritual life. Under the able superintendence of Sister Elizabeth our Sunday-school has progressed in efficiency — the numbers on the book are larger and the attendance more regular. The children are brought into Church after Sunday-school every Sunday for a children's service and catechizing by one of the clergy, generally speaking by the Rev. W. Hays. By this means we hope to, and in many cases do, secure the attendance at Church of the boys and girls after they have left the Sunday-school. The children contribute a weekly offertory to the Church, and in Advent and Lent make special efforts to collect money for the Children's Mission Fund. The Mission Church is well served by a guild of women called the Guild of S. Monica, which includes within itself several com- mittees for carrying out special works. It numbers about 35 roembers. The Altar Committee devotes itself to the cleaning and decorating of the altar and sanctuaiy,^pon which so much of the dignity and Ijeauty of the worship of (Jod depends. The Embroidery Committee undertakes church embroidery for its own church, and for other churches which send in ordei's or re<|uire donations of necessary articles. The Recreation and Refreshment Committee looks after the creature comforts of parochial gather- ings of various kinds, and the provisions for Sunday-school treats, etc. All the members of the Guild of S. Monica aid in making preparation for sales of work, and in carrying them through effectively. By such means the guild was enabled last year to contribute $250 towards the support of the branch house of the Community of the Holy Name, which does such useful work with the children, and among the sick and needy of the district. A chapter meeting of the whole guild is held once a month in the church, when its special religious service is used, and an address is given by the chaplain. There are other guilds at work in the church besides the Guild of S. Monica. One for young women communicants under the care of Sister Eunice and 50 the Rev. P. (^weii Jones, its warden, named the Holy CroHs Guild. Its main object is to deepen the spiritual life of its members. It meets every week, under the .Sister, and has a chapter meeting under its chaplain (^nce a month. A guild of perseverance, in charge of Rev. "NV, Hays, for young men com- municants, which meets once a month for religious service and instruction preparatory to communion. One very useful work in charge of the Sisters is the mothers' meeting, which assembles every Wednesda}' at 2.30 p. m. for work, prayer and religious instruction. Through it many a soul has been converted to God and become a regular communicant, bringing light and happiness into homes hitherto negligent of all religion. There are fiO names on the books and an attendance average of over 30. From time ro time the priest in charge gives addresses or illustrated lectures to the mothers' meeting. There is a Bible Class for men, which meets every Tuesday at 7.30 p. m., and in Lent a Bible Class open to all in church, on Tuesday afternoons. During the past year the improvement club for girls has. been started b}' two of our ladies, assisted by several of their friends. The three ll's are taught, shorthand, typewriting, needlework, recitation, etc. The venture has pioved highly successful. About 90 names are on the books, and an average of 60 girls attend every Monday evening. The Davenport School, under its head master, the Rev. P. Owen Jones, has had a full complement of boys for the greater part of the year, and has accomplished much satisfactory edu- cational work. ■ Unfortunately, experience assures us that the fees, lowered four years since to the Woodard standard, are too low to allow of the school becoming self-supporting. To place the school upon a sound basis, independent of the subsidies of its warden, endowments are needed in some form or other, either by scholarships or annual income. In the case of the Woodard schools in England, Church laymen have come forward nobly to their support. Is it too much to expect that Canadian Church- men may be found to lelieve so well proved a work as our Church school of its financial burden 1 With regard to Church support, our church, which is wholly free at all services to all comers, is maintained by offertories and envelopes. Special collections and subscriptions are taken for the support of the sick and needy, for diocesan missions, for home and foreign missions. % 60 Including the children's offerings we contributed over |225 to D. C- S. last year ; over $260 for the sick and needy ; about 150 to Bishop Blytho, $[iO to Bishop of Algomu, $30 to S. P. G. foreign, .$50 to Bishop Kichardson's Central African Mission, and soinethinir to domestic missions, general. Our contributions to the B. H. M. this year (including children's) will be about $50 more tha'i last year. ST. MARTINS. The Rev. A. A. Slipper writes: I resigned the rectorship of St. Martins on the first of June last. The services of the Church have been held reguhirly throughout the past year in Holy Trinity Church and the outstations, and the attendance has been fairly good. My rectorship here has extended ovei- a period of three years and eleven months, the second longest in the history of the parish. During that time I have baptized forty-seven peisons, married eleven couples, buried thirty persons, and forty-four have been confirmed, about forty of whom have since become conmmnicants. I have endeavored, during my incumbency, to do the Church's work to the best of my ability without any attempt at courting popularity, with what success is best known to the Great Over- seer of all. It is with feelings of regret that I leave some very close friends in St. Martins, and I shall always remember with feelings of gratitude their loyalty in supporting their rector amidst peculiar difiiculties. ST. MARY, ST. JOHN- REV. W. 0. RAYMOND. A lot of work is done in this parish and a lot is left undone that ought to be done. The fact is, there is a good deal to do. Statistics show this, I have been at St. Mary's church now over fourteen years, and in that time have baptized 742 infants and adults, presented 212 candidates for confirmation, married 252 couples, and olliciated at G16 burials. The average yearly num- bers are : baptisms 52, burials 43, marriages 18, and candidates confirmed 15. While much has remained undone that might have been done, the coneregation at St. Mary's are thankful "J many 61 merits. Eight years ago last Easter the numV)er of communi- cants was 80 ; at Easter this year there were, including a few sick communicated privately, 17H. During the same peritjd of eight years the number of communicants on the roll increased from 125 to 221. During the past yoar the services have V)een remarkably well attended and the offerings have increased correspondingly. The; church, so far as T know, does not at present owe a dollar". It however needs a good many things, including an organ and a furnace. Just at present we are taking a breathing spell, after spending about -13,500 in putting the church and Sunday-school in a thorough state of repair. The premises about the church have been much improved lately through the zeal and energy of Mr. E. V. Godfrey, and are now very attractive. We have a fair share of parish organizations; among them a united and harmonious vestry, which meets monthly with an average attendance of at least ten members ; an active chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew that has thirteen members ; a Young Toople's Association with upwards of sixty members, and a Ladies' Guild of some thirty members. The Sunday- schools continue to do good work, the total enrolment being 348 scholars and thirty-nine teachers and ofiicers, a total of 387. The Sunday school raised about .$330 for all purposes last year. The youiii^- men's orchestra of nine or ten members has been a great assistance to the church in many ways. r)ur singing is very htarty, and is largely congregational, and the responding of the congregation is of the best. I cannot close this report without referring to the parochial mission held during Lent by the Rev. Alfred Bareham, which grew in interest and power from the outset, and resulted in very great spiritual blessings, of which the outward tokens were manifested in ways too various to be mentioned, one of them being the very large numbf-r of Easter communicants. Evangelistic services, in continuation of the mission, were held ifter the de- parture of the missioner, and the church was filled every evening during holy week, when very earnest addresses were made by the Ven. Archdeacon Brigstocke, Rev. John de Soyres, Rev. J. M. Davenport, Rev. F. M. Bacon and Rev. W. H. Sampson. Perhaps it is rather invidious, where one has many loyal l^p]pej.H, to mention any bv name, yet I cannot refrain from ex- pressing my hearty appreciation of the services rendered by the wardens, Messrs. Olive and Town, by Mr. L. H. Roberts, 62 director uf the St Andrew's Biotheihood, by Mr. J. N. Iv();,'t;rH, aH choir leader and instructor, by Miss Adatns, as president of the Young People's Association, by Messrs. T. E. Dyer and T. J. llnkauf, as secretaries of th«; Sunday-schools, by the Misses Patton, Mrs. A. \V. Goldin« and Mrs. Olive, and nmny other devoted Sunday-school teachers. The juniors I leave out in this enumeration, vv^ith the single exception of AnnieMayChamberlain, who is a teacher in the morning school, but has also attended the afternoon school as a scholar since March 17tli, 1889, with- out missing a Sunday, a period of over nine years. My people have been very good to me in many ways, have aided me in all good works, and borne patiently with all short- comings. May He who alone can gi-ant success to our endeavors for the advancement of His gloiy and the good of His Church, be with us always. ST. PAUL, ST. JOHN- KEV. A. G. H. DICKER. The past year has been one of steady work and progress, and it is satisfactory to be able to record that although several of our Church members have left St. John during that period, there were 309 present at the Easter communion in 1898 as against ;}0l in 1897, showing an increa.se of eight communicants, to which must be added thirty-seven candidates who were confirmed by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese on the second Sunday after Easter. It may be mentioned that eighteen of these candidates were males, and about lialf of the whole numl)er were adults, five having previously belonged to non-conformist denominations. This raises the confirmed from S. Paul's to 153 since Easter, 1894, being an average of something over 30 presented each year. Our Sunday-schools have continued to increase, more than 200 names being now on our registers. Three Bible classes are held by the rector each week, one for senior boys, one for confirmed lads, and one for men. During the year we have made a much needed addition to our churcli, in the form of a choir room and chapel, in which our daily services through they*^ar, and saints' day communions are held, and choir practices and Bible classes take place. The cost of this building, $1,500, has been raised by the enei'gy of the ladies of the Parish. Unfortunately, following upon this expenditure, it will be necessary this year to paint the exterior of the church and 63 school-house, which will involve an outlay of at least $000.00 and certain alterationH and repairs to our organ which had become necessary will cost )|4r)0.00, in consecjuence of which heavy drain u{)<»n our resources, our subscription to Honn? Mis- sions will hardly be so large as last year. We have not yet heard from all our regular contriljutors, many of whom are iti the country, hut the aniount will be some- what over $400; wo trust that we shall do better next year. A word is due to our mission church of St. Barnabas, Sandy Point lload, at which service is held every Sunday, holy commu- nion being ct^lebrated on the second Sunday in each month. The loyalty and dovoticm of the meml)ers is really remai-kable, practically the whole of the communicants being present at each celebration. We are happy to say that Canon l>eVeber who has lately been seriously ill, is once more able to take the oversight of this mission, and it is our earnest hope and prayer that he may long be spared to minister amongst us. ST. STEPHEN (CIIIUST CHURCH) NEWNHAM. REV. O. S. There is nothing of special importance to report from this parish. The work of the Chuich in her services has gone on regularly during the past year. The congregation at Christ Church has somewhat increased in numbers, and some names have been added to the list of communicants. The Sunday- school holds its own and is doing a faithful work in training the coming generation in the principles and doctrines of the Church. We are very fortunate in having so earnest a Churchman as Mr. C. N. Vroom as superintendent. The Young Women's Guild of Christ Church still continue their good work, and many of the additions and improvements around the church and schoolroom are due to their untiring efforts. They have lately erected a new cote for the bell, and purchased a new carjjet for the platform in the schoolroom and for the vestry, and provided rew prayer books for the church. In addition to this they keep the yard around the church looking bright and neat. In addition to their other work they have made a donation of foity five dollars towards the insurance on the church. We have lately secured a group of photos of the rectors of the parish, which is of historical interest.' We have had six rectors in eighty -seven I 64 years, and it is interesting to be aV)le to look upon the faces of those who have maintained the work of the Church during these years. The work of the Church in Mill town is somewhat hindered by the fact that services can only be given on Sunday afternoons a; id Wednesday evenings, with the addition of a monthly celebration on the first Sunday in the month at nine o'clock. Four o'clock on Sunday afternoon is not the most convenient hour for holding service in a town parish, and Mill- town would be a good field for the employment of any of the superannuated clergymen, who could still take Sunday sei-vices, and who have a desire to continue work for the Church so far as their strength allows. If regular Sunday morning and evening services could be given in Milltown, the Church would gain largely. We suffer somewhat in Milltown from removals. Many changes are constantly taking place amongst the employees at the cotton mill. If there could be some way found for pro- viding assistance in the services, work could be taken up in the outlying country districts, which at present cannot be touched. We are glad to welcome the Synod of the Diocese to St. Stephen, and though our numbers are not many, we are glad tq be able to say that the visiting clergy are to be entertained by the members of the Church in the parishes of St. Stephen and Trinity without having to go outride. It would have given us much pleasure if we could also have extended the same hospitality to the visiting lay representatives. If our number had been greater this would have been done. Our contribution to the Diocesan Mission Fund is more than last year by $il.r)4, and is made up as follows : Individual contributions . $79 00 Special collection aftei' sermon by the Rev. H. Montgomery 14 27 Sunday-school Easter offerings 32 95 $126 22 To this should be added the children's Christmas offering. TRINITY, ST. STEPHEN— REV. F. ROBERTSON. The past year has been a time of spiritual blessing in this parish, for which we heartily thank God. The Sunday services of the Church have been well and regu- larly attended and heartily participated in by the congregation, 65 and upon the whole we are «lad to report that the work of the Lord has prospered in our midst. Perhaps the most encouraging part of our work is the continued interest and iioly enthusiasm which pervades our Wednesday evening services, which are ex- ceptionally well attended, and not infrequently the Spirit's power and presence is sensibly felt amongst us, melting our hearts and drawing us nearer to the Saviour. Our people are loyal to their Church and to their rector, and ever ready to give heart and hand to every good work. The financial standing of the parish is better now than it has been for many years. During the past year many old standing bills have been settled, the small mortgage on the rec- tory greatly reduced, and about $200 expended on repairing and Vjeautifying the rectory itself. The communicants' roll is gradually increasing. Ten adult candidates were presented to the Bishop for confirmation in December last, and others are now waiting for a sin lar oppor- tunity. The future prospects of the parish are bright and hopeful, and we are encouraged to still go forward in the work of the Lord. SHEDIAC AND POINT DU CHENE— REV.A. F. B. BURT. The work of the Church in these parishes has gone steadily forward during the pasi year. The great principles of evangeli- cal truth and apostolic order have been faithfully set forth, and have been eagerly received by the local members of the Church, as well as by the many visitors of other communions who come to our parishes, especially during the summer months. Our members have shown themselves possessed of a liberal spirit in contributing to local needs, and also to other Christian work which they could conscientiously support. The sum of $22.65 has been subscribed to the diocesan mission fund, and upwards of $100 to other missionary work. A visit from the deputation sent to Canada, with the sanction of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, by the London Society for Promoting Christi- anity among the Jews, was much appreciated by our people, and was of great value, not only in stirring up missionary zeal, but also in correcting many false impressions which existed concern- ing the other agencies employed in the work of Jewish evangel- ization. Tlie deputation spent over two weeks in this Diocese I II 66 and could have done more work had time allowed. We had hoped to have been able to hold a parochial mission during the present year, but our plans did not mature— the Lord not open- ing the way. We wait upon His divine guidance, hoping that in the near future our (iesires may be granted, and pray that a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit may l)e vouchsafed for the deepening of the spiritual life of our people, and for the binding- back of many souls to God. SIMONDS— REV. LEO A. HOYT, M. A. The report of this parish during the present year is one of steady growth, with nothing startling either in the way of suc- cess or failure. At Golden Grove, I find the largest growth in congregations with an ever increasing desire for knowledge in the ways and history of our Church. At Garnet I have held regular monthly classes during the week for instruction in the Bible. These classes have been attended by interested listeners, the house being nearly always full. At Coldbrook, matters are rather discouraging. The rolling mills, upon which the place de- pends, have not been in a flourishing condition, and this state of things has militated against the interests of the Church at this station. The principal feature of work in tliis parish during the past has been the building of a church at lied Head. The sills of this building were laid on May 24, 1897, and on the 24th of May of this year it^, was considered sutHciently advanced to hold services. The building is far from complete. In fact, only the exterior has been finished; but circumstances have de- manded that we should occupy it, so the Bishop has given his license and the Church people of Red Head are in possession of a house of their own in which they are woi'shipping God. In this connection, I may mention with many thanks the encouragement I have received from kind friends of the Chui'ch. Mrs. Medley, of Fredericton, and many kind friends in St. John, have aided us not only with kindly words of sympathy, but by substantial gifts, and have placed within view the realiz- ation of our hopes, the consecration of a church at Red Head. 67 SOUTHAMPTON AND QIIEEN8BURY— KEY. R. COLEMAN. This is my first report of the mission since my appointment, a little over a year ago. At that time they had been without a clergyman in the mission for nearly a year, and, I think, without the services of the Church, excepting when the Rev. G. F. Scovil, of Prince William, could occasionally reach two of the stations. During my first six months I took for my guide the programme of services followed by the last rector. This gave three Sunday services a month at Temperance Yale, two at Bear Island, two at Caverhill, two at Upper Queensbury, one at Maple Ridge, one at Meductic Falls, one at Millville. When there were five Sun- days in the month, Temperance Yale, Maple Ridge and Caver- hill had the extra services. About the end of October last year, at a meeting of the neighboring clergy, and vvith the approval of the Lord Bishop, it was arranged that I should take a share in supplying the Mission of Douglas and Bright with the ministrations of the Church. From that time my programme was changed so as to take in S. Paul's church. Upper Keswick, as often as possible, there being a goodly number of Church people in that vicinity. S. Paul's Church is thirteen or fourteen miles from the nearest station in Queensbury, and twenty-three or twenty-four miles from Temperance Yale, my cential station. To fill this addi- tional appointment I have to omit S. Thomas, Upper Queens- bury, and Millville, from my list of regular Sunday services, hoping that under the circumstances the Church people of Mill- ville would go to Maple Ridge or Temperance Yale to service, and that the very few at Upper Queensbury would go to Bear Island. During last winter, owing to the state of the roads and the distances between the different stations, it was sometimes impossible to give more than two services on a Sunday. This was a great drawback. From November, 1897, to May, 1898, I held on an average two Sunday services a month at S. Paul's, Upper Keswick. Even this meant an occasional omission of a Sunday service at one of the other stations. During the sum- mer months I am trying to add another service a month as often as w possi ^^„.-ble at S. Paul's without diminishing the number else- he^e. This involves a great amouiit of Sunday driving, and can only be carried on when the roads are in good condition ; to I 68 fill my Sunday appointments alone and return home means on the average a drive of forty-nine or fifty miles. This, together with other parochial work and visiting, runs up the total to considerably above 4,000 miles in the year, as far as I have kept account. Tt will be seen that the driving takes up an unusual amount of time, and yet this does not represent what ought to be done. One cannot but feel that for the Church to make progress in these parts there ought to be an increase of Sunday services, e. g., service every Sunday in Temperance Vale and at S. Paul's Upper Keswick, as well as an addition at other stations. There are many things to be thankful for, as there are many encouraging features in the work all through the mission. The services are generally well attended in all parts of the mission, considering the number of Church people and how scattered they are. The prevalence of sectarian ideas is a great hindrance to the work of the ^'hurch, but generally speaking there is a good feeling towards the Church, and many from outside attend the services and appear to appreciate them. Personally, I have met with nothing but kindness from the people. Gi'eat credit is due to the teachers of the Sunday-school in Temperance Vale for keeping up the work of the Sunday-school there when they were without the services of the Church. One feels that such efforts should receive the highest commendation. The services at :St. Paul's, Upper Keswick, also are bright and hearty, and the congregations in the evening are usually large. Effort is being made here by some members of the congregation to re-organize the Sunday-school. The hand of death has been severely felt in some parts of the mission during this Spring. The records show ten burials, one marriage and eleven baptisms. The departure of Miss Carruthers and Mr. Wm. Caverhill from Upper Caverhill this Spring is a loss deeply felt by the congregation and clergyman. They have been very faithful and ready helpers in Church work. At a harvest festival held last autumn at Bear Island, a sum of about thirty-five dollars was realized for Church purposes. There still remains a portion of the debt on the Church, which we hope will be paid off this year. We feel thankful to be able to say that in many ways there are signs of a growing interest in the Church, and we take COO 7 courage for the future. 69 SUSSEX AND STUDHOLM-REV. S. NEALES, M. A. I am thankful to be able to report from the parishes of Sussex and Studholm a year of peace and harmony, and I trust also of some progress, although I must not conceal the fact that there are many features of the work which are far from encour- aging. Perhaps it would be as well to touch upon the dark side first. We are, I am sorry to say, still wofuily in debt, and although some 1400 of debt was paid off last year, we are still more than $1,000 behind. Under these circumstances I trust we will be excused for not contributing more liberally than we have this year towards the Home Mission Fund. But we have done something, and I have already reported to the secretary of the B. H. M. the promise of $87.78 from the two parishes of Susvsex and Studholm. Perhaps the most discouraging feature of the work is the Sunday-school, which I wish I could report as in a more flourishing condition. But being without any place in the village in which to hold our Sunday-school, and having had our children in many cases attending for several years back the Sunday-schools of other religious bodies more conveniently situated, it is a work of some difficulty to induce them to leave these schools to which they have become attached, and to come the long distance required to attend our own. And thia handi- cap applies, though in perhaps a less degree, to the older portion of the congregation in their attendance at the services. And in fact, if the Chureh is to hold her own and do her proper work in Sussex, she should have >ome base of operations nearer the centre of population than is now the case. To this end as soon as it is possible we hope to undertake the building of a Church hall in the village, which could then be used for almost every parochial purpose, except the Sunday services. If the people will not come to the church, the Church must go to the people. Among the cheering features of the year's work which I have to record, are the two official visits of the Bishop, the first when he came to collate me to the rectory of the parish, and the second, when shortly before Easter he confirmed thirty candidates, all of whom have since become conmiunicants, the most of them mak- ing their first communion on Easter day. Although still far from what it ought to be, our number of communicants is, 1 am thankful to say, steadily increasing, and on Easter day, and during the week following, there were 116 communicants who received the most comfortable sacrament of the body and blood of Christ. 70 We have also had several events of more than parochial in- terest occurring in the parish during the past year. On the second day of February last, the Kingston Deanery Choral Union held its annual service in Trinity Church, Sussex— and this with its attendant work of preparation was most eagerly enjoyed, not only by our own choir and parishioners, but by many others from adjoining parishes, who, notwithstanding the usual snow blockade which is said to always accompany these events, forced their way through to be present at this most de- lightful service. The annual Diocesan Sunday-school Conference, which was held in Sussex in May, will doubtless be chronicled elsewhere in the reports of the Synod, so that I need not refer to it further than to say what a source of pleasure and satisfac- tion, and I trust of profit also, it was to us all to have it held in our midst as well as to meet on our own ground so many of the faithful clergy and laity of the diocese. One thing else I must refer to, and it is that sad event— not really sad— but bright with the hope full of immortality, when a few short weeks ago there was laid to rest, in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord. Jesus Christ, the earthly remains of one whom the parishioners throughout the whole parish, and many others, all remembered with loving, grateful thought as a faithful and true friend, as a devoted and consistent Christian, and as a loyal and true helpmeet of her noble husband -the late lamented Canon Charles Medley — whose memory now seems to grow greener as the years roll by. In conclusion, 1 must bear witness to the uniformly kind and generous treatment that I have constantly received at the hands of my parishioners during the past year. For their many acts of kindness, for their considerate sympathy and assistance, I feel that I must give expression to my heartfelt thanks not only to them, but also and most chiefly to our heavenly Father who is the Giver of all good things. UPHAM AND HAMMOND— REV. W. J. BATE. I am thankful to be able to report that Church life and work in my large and scattered parish of Upham and Hammond can be summed up in two words- ' healthy " and " progressive. ' As the successor of the Rev. S. J. Hanford, I wish t > bear record on the floor of this Synod to the noble, p.elf df^nying, nnd faithful work done, and the good foundation laid by him during 71 tchial in- On the Choral ex — and eagerly but by ling the nv these most de- aference, ironicled not refer satisfac- e it held many of ig else I sad — but Bw short pe of the hrist, the jhout the h loving, ^oted and pt of her yiedley — •s roll by. mly kind 3d at the leir many ssistance, janks not ly Father h life and Hammorid )gressive. ' ti to bear lying, nnd lim durijig his thirty-eight years of unceasing labor, and to say that in every Church household the name of Parson Hanford is ever remem- bered with love and affection. In the united civil parishes of Upham and Hammond there are some 110 families or 450 souls giving allegiance to the Church, and of these 450 one-third are communicants. Last October the Lord Bishop visited my parish and con- firmed fifty-six people-- thirty-seven men and nineteen women— the average age of both males .uid females being twenty-eight years. Archdeacon Neales visited Upham last December and placed before tiie congregation the financial needs of the diocese, with such effect that, although we are poor, and under ordinary circumstances not able to bear any inciease in our assessment, yet when the demand was made f(jr ;it least .$25 a year more we willingly agreed to it. Last Easter the parish of Hammond, after a period of 19 years of unorganization, was again fully organized, and is repre- sented this year in 8ynod, and I believe I am correct in saying that not for some '20 years or more has my parish been repre- sented by two lay delegates, one each from Upham and Ham- mond, as it is to-day. 1 am endeavouring to raise enough money to l>uy a bell for TIpham church, and toward this my people have already $45, which together with a contribution of $15 from the Women's Aid Association of Fredericton, makes a sum total of $60, so I live in hope that by this time next year the sound of the "church going bell " will be I'inging in our midst. The entries in tlie parish legister show that there have been for the past twelve months 31 baptisms, 7 marriages, 11 burials — among the latter being one of the two original founders of S. Paul's church, Hammond, Mr. John Ferguson. In conclusion I wish to say that my people are most kind and friendly, and have shown their good will in many ways, and I humbly pray that the goodfellowship now existing between pastor and people may continue and increase, that so the Church ma}^ "lengthen her cords and strengthen her stakes" to the honour and glory of God. I 72 VICTORIA. The Rev H. M. Spike writes : For various causes we have been without a rector for several months. In this matter the parishioners were not to blame. I have been enabled to supply the services since the Rev. Mr. Withycombe left the parish. Although the parish is self-sustaining, the parishioners are not numerous. Subscriptions and collections will be sent in for the work of home missions some time this month. The Sunday- school ha^. sent in the contents of the Lenten mission boxes, amounting to $11.10; the Epiphany appeal for Domestic and Foreign Missions, $7.22 ; the Ascension appeal for same object, $5.31 ; the centenary of S. P. C. K., $2.67 ; for Jews' mission at Jerusalem, in connection with Bishop Blyth's work, $4.24. The Rev. O. S. Newnham visited this parish in February, and very earnestly explained to the congregation the great wants of +^^he home mission work in this diocese. We must feel that the feeble country parishes ought to have our sympathy and support, for it is evident that our clergy are doing their work for the salvation of souls with much self-denial, and frequently under many adverse circumstances. WATERFORD AND ST. MARKS—REV. A. A. SLIPPER. I took charge of Waterford and St. Marks on the first of June last, the Rev. A. W. Smithers having been appointed by the Bishop to go and take up again the work of the Church in Albert County.' The services have been held regularly at St. John's Church, Watertord, at the Mission Room ..t the Upper Corner, Sussex, and at All Saints' Church, Jeffries' Corner. The congregations are fairly good, and the services are hearty and reverent. At this early stage I cannot give an extended re- port, but feel that I must say a word as to the state of the Church in this parish which is such as reflects great credit upon the Rev. A. W. Smithers and shows how earnestly and faithfully he has worked here, and how acceptable has been the definite teaching of the Catholic Church. , [See also under ilev. W. A femithers's Report, page 7] 73 WELDFORD AND HARCOXJRT FREEBERN, B.D. REV. (i. L. The work in these parishes has been going on quietly during' the past year. The rector was ill for a month or so during the winter, when the services were omitted for a few times. Though the majority of the people are poor in worldly pos- sessions, they are always willing to give of what they have. This was shown by their giving twelve dollars' worth of labor at clearing a new cemetery. Twenty-one infanta and three adults received the sacrament of holy baptism since July, 1897. There have been sixteen burials and three marriages. WESTFIELD — REV. HENRY T. PARLEE, B.A. The report from this parish for the past year is only a record of work done in ordinary routine. The services have been regularly conducted both at the parish church and at St. James'. Trinity Chapel, however, has not had im many services as could have been wished, owing to the difficulty of crossing the river. It is most unfortunate that the river St. John divides this parish, as one of the most promising sections has to be deprived of regtilar services. This parish has still to struggle very hard to maintain its existence. During the year the ladies raised the sum of $145.00 to be devoted to payment of stipend. The outlook at present seems somewhat brighter, and we hope to be able to report by next year that a very much smaller amount will be necessary to be raised to supplement the subscription list. We are pleased to report the steady increase in the growth of the subscription list throughout the different parts of the parish. The offertories of the three churches amounted to about $145.00 for the year, being about $35.00 in excess of any year previous to 1897. The list of communicants is still increasing. During the year past several persons have become communicants who had been confirmed long years ago. si sic omnes I I have to report twelve baptisms, one marriage and eleven burials. The parish churchyard has been enclosed by a neat and substantial fence, and the church itself has been raised and underpinned. The two new organs recently placed in the parish church and Trinity chapel are fully paid for, as well as all im 74 provements on Trinity. The new horse shed at St. James Church — the best in the diocese — is completed and paid for. The church itself is sadly out of repair and it is questionable whether it would be advisable to ex|'<^u': \i>f>i: 'he structure the amount of money required to put it in good condition. Haid amount would go a good way towards building a new church. We are indebted to Mrs. Patterson for the gift of two handsome pulpit frontals, one white and one red. The ladies have pro- vided new white book markers, music books, outside lamn, etc. At the rectory we have at last made provisi(i' lor an abund- ant supply of good water. This we have not had before since th« rectory was built. The water is now pumped directly into the house from a brick and cement cistern about on© hundred feet distant. (Note — it is paid for). Through the kindness of Mr J. F. Woodman, of Salt Lake City, U. S. A., who provided the material, a new fence is being constructed around the parish graveyard. In closing my report I think I may safely say that our record for the year pa-^t has been one of progress. P. S. — Since writing the above I have to record the loss by fire of St. James' Church, Westfield Beach. It caught from a neighboring building and in a few minutes was in flames. The organ, altar, prayer desk, books, stoves, etc., etc., were saved. The church was burned during session of Synod. WESTMORLAND— REV. J). M. BUSS, B. A. I am glad to be able to report a slight increase in the amount contributed by this parish to Diocesan Missions. The annual return of the number of baptisms, etc., has already been for- warded. This is a small country parish, as has been said, containing " humble though no less sincerely attached members of the Church," but, I am happy to say, so far we ha e been able to erect our church buildings, defray all incidental expenses, and at every Easter have a balance in our own favor. WICKLOW AND WILMOT — REV. J. E. FLEWELLING. Services held regularly during the year. A special eflTort was made to deepen the spiritual life, following up the work of Rev. J. M. Davenport. Gifts from St. John and Fredericton 75 for paHtoral work, have been gratefully received and privately acknowledged. The roctor wishes to return hearty thanks to many parishioners for their kind words and presents. The saddest affair which occurred in Chuich circles, was the untimely death of one of our communicants, Vlbert Brittain, who died en routf to the Klondyke. His body was brought home and interred .n the cemetery at Bristol in thin county, a great concourse following in procession. May he rest in peace. The baptisms of infants have been greater than usual in the past year. The reports from lady collectors for Diocesan missions have not yet been completed. There will, T fear, be a slight falling oif, but we hope to send -1:75.00. WOODSTOCK VP:N. AllCHDEACON NEALES, M. A. Owing to tlie duties to which I was called as Diocesan dele- gate; and later, owing to enforced rest which I was compelled to take, T have been absent from my parish more than any previous year. While doing the work of Diocesan delegate, my duty was taken by the Rev. E. A. Warneford, and during the last few weeks of my absence, the Rev. W. B. Belliss, my assistant, has carried on the work of the parish without any help, Mr. Belliss has been .serving as curate n this mission very acceptably for the past two years, and it is with great regret that the parish finds itself unable to provide sufficient means to retain his ser- vices beyond the tirst of August. When he leaves us, he will carry with him the respect and good will of all member of the Church. It is a matter also much to be regretted, t at his removal breaks up the plan of work for the whole mission, which has been carried on for the past two years. Last autumn, a beai iful Caen stone font was placed in S. Luk» i Church as a nu iiiorial to our late beloved Bishop and Metropolitan, and .'subscribed for in loving remembrance by those on whom he had laid hands in the holy rite of confirm- ation. A new pipe organ, placed in the same church in April last, gives great satisfaction to all. 76 Diocesan Synod of Frcdericton* TREASURER'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT. December 31, 1898.
