 the morning, viz, : John Setter, Parkdale ; S. L. Bedson, Stony 
 Mountain ; T. Lusted, Stonewall ; J. Carman and W. A. Hen- 
 derson, Christ Church, Winnipeg. 
 
 The minutes of the first session were read and confirmed. 
 
 His Lordship then gave his address as follows : 
 
 Reverend Brethren and Brethren of the Laity : 
 
 The necessity for this early meeting of the Synod has 
 arisen fiom the passage by the Legislature of Manitoba of the 
 Bill for the Incorporation of the Synod, which was adopted 
 by the last Synod. Before the Executive Committee can ex- 
 ercise under the Bill the powers of the Synod, as a corpora- 
 tion, it must be empowei'ed by the Synod to do so. 
 
 A resolution passed by the Executive Committee will be 
 placed before the Synod with this view. 
 
 I shall then pass over to the corporation, ' The Synod of 
 the Diocese of Rupert's Land,' the properties of the Clergy 
 Endowment Fund and the Indian Mission Fund, and all tlie 
 Parish and Mission properties, held by me, except what is con- 
 nected with St. John's Cathedral. 
 
 The property connected with St. John's Cathedral will be 
 conveyed to the Dean and Chapter, but the Dean and Chapter 
 cannot sell any land except with the consent of the Executive 
 Committee. The Finance Committee of the Church Mission- 
 ary Society executed a Deed of Trust in accordance with the 
 views of the Curch Missionary Society, by which certain 
 lands in the Province of Manitoba were conveyed to the 
 Bi.shop of Rupert's Land for certain purposes. The Church 
 Missionary Society has given its consent to the convej^ance by 
 me of this property to the Synod, to be held, of course, by the 
 Synod for the purposes mentioned in the Deed of Trust. I 
 am accordingly to convey this property also to the Synod. It 
 seems proper that on my passing over the properties a Declar- 
 ation of Trust be made to me by the Synod. 
 
 The property held by me for the Professorships, Scholar- 
 ships, or prizes, I have conveyed or am in the course of con- 
 veying to the St. John's College. 
 
 I have also in the past held and managed property for 
 various Mission and other purposes in the l^ioceses of Sas-

 funds in the separate account caUed the Trust account of the 
 Bishop of Rupert's Land, as they were not my own private 
 property, yet properly they were held and administered by 
 me, rather as a private individual than as a corporation. I 
 am passing all these Funds over to those who have left them 
 or placed them in my hands. 
 
 The only Funds, or Property, that will remain aftei- next 
 week in charge of the corporation, the Bishop of Rupert's 
 Land will, with the exception of interests in two or three 
 mortgages, that cannot immediately be dealt with, be the 
 Episcopal Endowment, the Machray Exhibitions, and the St. 
 John's Cathedral Prebend Fund. 
 
 Though it is convenient and desirable that there should be 
 a sole corporation, ' Tne Bishop of Rupert's Land,' it was 
 never my wish that the property of the Diocese or of the 
 College should be in its Trust, when other arrangements 
 could safely be made. Provision was made by me in each of 
 the Deeds of Endowment of the Professorships for passing the 
 property to the care of the College, Resolutions sanctioning 
 the transfer of the property to the College and the Dean and 
 Chapter were passed by the Synod in 1877. An effort was 
 also made about the same time for the incorporation of the 
 Synod, which fell through. Practical difficulties seemed to 
 stand in the way, which have been removed by the Act passed 
 last session. I am glail that I can at length Ijo relieved of 
 what has been a heavy burden, and in the past few years a 
 cause of much anxiety. 
 
 I would again thank the members of the Advisory Board 
 for all the trouble they have so willingly 'undertaken for the 
 sake of the Church during the past two or thi ee years. 
 
 I have also to thank my Solicitors for the generous way in 
 which they have administcired the affairs of the Trust, so tliat 
 it has been put to as little expense as possible. 
 
 1 brought very fully before the last Synod the position of 
 tlie Diocese from the large extent of settlement, and pointed 
 out the need of ten new missions, 
 
 I am sorry to say that, from various causes, the condition of 
 things is not more satisfactory, tliough regular or occasional 
 services have been ffivon in most of the districts.

 Wc require, or will shortly require, Missionaries in the Dis- 
 tricts of Manitou, Clearwater, Killarney, Deloraine, Oak Lake, 
 Russell, Neepawa, Norquay, and Poplar Point, We have, 
 however, made this advance on our position of last year that the 
 Executive Committee is prepared to venture on giving grants 
 in aid to clergymen for the places named, if suitable men 
 can be found and the people undertake satisfactorily to do 
 their part. 
 
 There are two or three clergymen in view, but we need 
 about six more. 
 
 Archdeacon Pinkham and Canon O'Meara were lately in 
 Canada, but they did not hear of clergymen to supply our 
 need. I hope that when I visit England, which I expect to do 
 shortly, I may meet with some who will suit us. 
 
 We have been accidentally aided in the last few years by 
 the enforced stay with us during the winter or a portion of 
 the year of Missionaries of the Church Missionary Society on 
 their way to the Diocese of McKenzie River. They were un 
 able to go further toward their destination with any advan- 
 tage. In this way Districts in the Diocese received the bene- 
 fit of the services of the Rev. Messrs. Canham, Garton, and 
 Wallis. These services have been very acceptable, as have 
 been also those of two laymen, who had work in Indian Mis- 
 sions, Messrs. Holmes and Ellington. I take this opportunity 
 of thanking those gentlemen for very essential service in this 
 Diocese, and of congratulating the Church Missionary Society 
 on securing such promising workers. The Rev. Mr. Nicholl, 
 at Pembina Crossing, and the Rev. Mr, Duudas, at Brandon, 
 who are residing in the Diocese, have also given us very kind 
 and substantial aid. 
 
 Our Mission Fund is for the present in a better position than 
 it was last year. 
 
 A very full and clear statement of our case was drawn up 
 after last Synod by a committee, and being approved of by 
 the Executive Committee, was })laced before the English 
 Church Societies and the Canadian Board of Missions. The 
 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel acted w th great 
 kindness and consideration. It replaced by a special grant 
 the £200 withdrawn from its grant this year, and it renewed 
 the full grant for next year. Then a very sympathetic reso- 
 lution was v)assed by the Canadian Board of Missions welcom-

 great 
 grant 
 
 ing a representative from this Diocese to plead for our case in 
 the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada, and authorizing their 
 chairman, the Bishop of Ontario, to giv^ him a letter of strong 
 recommendation. This the Bishop most kindly did. The 
 result has been that Archdeacon Pinkham has raised a con- 
 siderable sum in Eastern Canada. Canon O'Meara also secured 
 some assistance in the Diocese of Nova Scotia. Our Mission 
 H\md is again happily out of debt, and we have a small bal- 
 an^j, giving us confidence to till up the missions named, if we 
 can find the men. 
 
 Immediately after the meeting of Synod I received £120 
 from an English clergyman, the Rev. F. H. Baring, in aid of 
 the Clergy Endowment Fund. This, with the help of some 
 $90 contributed by members of the Church in Winnipeg, 
 made up the sum enabling us to claim £500 each from the S. 
 P. G. and S. P. C. K. The S. P. G. has further shown its 
 a})[)reciation of our [)Osition and difficulties by agreeing to 
 give its grant in future in sums of £500, to meet £1,000 from 
 any other sources instead of £1,500 as formerly. 
 
 However, as I have always wished to impress on the Synod, 
 the most important (question is what we are doing and can do 
 ourselves. I cannot say that there has been much advance in 
 our own contributions last year to the Mission Fund, except 
 that there have been numerous missionary meetings through- 
 out the Diocese, at which several of our leading lay Church- 
 men kindly united with the clergy in giving addresses. The 
 collections at these meetings have been some help. But the 
 pecuniary difficulties under which we labor in the Diocese 
 have not yet been removed. Fertile, ujost fertile as the land 
 generally is, our Province is subject to the usual vicissitudes 
 of weather of an agricultural country. An unusually early 
 frost last autumn, that visited a great part of North America, 
 injured the crops more or less severely in many districts, 
 though some districts escaped it altogether. 
 
 Then the immigration has still continued to go west of 
 Manitoba, though it seems extraordinary that, as is often the 
 case, people with capital should be tempted by a free home- 
 stead to go hundreds of miles west of Winnipeg, when the 
 best of land can be purchased, almost anywhere throughout 
 the Province, for veiy low prices. 
 
 The consequence is that our settlements are not to any a[)- 
 
m 
 
 — IG — 
 
 preciable extent stronger, and our [)eople are in little better 
 circumstances than last year. 
 
 Notwithstanding these facts, there has been somehow or 
 other a decided improvement this season in Winnipeg, Por- 
 tage la Prairie and Brandon, and I hope more or less over the 
 country. I feel sure that in a very few years our lands will 
 be occupied, our settlements filled up, and our people prosper- 
 ous. But for some time we must expect a hard struggle. 
 
 Still the Executive Connnittee is persuaded that our people 
 must be called upon to make self-denial in securing for them- 
 selves the means of grace, as they have to do in other things. 
 It has, therefore, voted $400 instead of $500 as the grant in 
 aid in the case of all the missions now vacant. This involves 
 a greater call on the liberality of our people. I trust they 
 will rise to the necessity. Nothing will more encourage 
 others to help us than the conviction that we are struggling 
 manfully and honestly to do our best. 
 
 Our immediate difficulty, then, is in getting effective men. 
 It is a serious matter to leave a Mission without a settled 
 clergyman. However excellent may be the services of visiting 
 clergymen, tliej'^ soon cease to satisfy. But it is a still more 
 serious matter to have in a Mission an ineffective and unac- 
 ceptable clergyman. 
 
 There are important spiritual and religious reasons that 
 might appeal to young men to throw themselves into our 
 work. A new country is being built up. Its tone and char- 
 acter will largely depend on the first workers. There seems, 
 then, a special call to do battle here for Christ and the Church. 
 But patting aside such reasons, I think many a young man of 
 promise might do much worse for himself temporally than un- 
 dertake one of our young Missions. The people of this country 
 are generous, and in most Missions they will do their best to 
 help a faithful and earnest pastor. Though the expense of 
 living is still considerably greater than in Ontario, it is much 
 ' less than it was. And the future is ours. Men do not hesi- 
 tate in the pursuit of worldly business to come here prepared 
 to make some sacrifice and exercise some self-denial at first. 
 So we might expect clergymen to come to us, though they 
 may not have at first the income they wish and need. But, 
 on the other hand, every efibrt is made to keep effective 
 clergymen in the Dioceses in which they are. It is perfectly

 clear, then, that .separated as we are by such a distance from 
 Eastern Canada, as well as England, we must depend mainly 
 on those we can educate in our own college. 
 
 Thus apart altogether from the natural desire to have a 
 college, where our young men may be educated for the learned 
 professions amid associations in sympathy with our Church 
 and under careful guardianship, the strengthening and 
 efficiency of Si. John's College becomes, even as regards the 
 Mission field, the first and most piessing care of the Diocese. 
 
 It seems unnecessary to repeat the story of the embarass- 
 ments that have unexpectedly followed from the bui^ Mng of 
 the new College. I am happy to say that by arrangements, 
 that reduced the interest very materially, no addition has been 
 made to the debt since 1884, while the increase of the General 
 Endowment Fund last year by over $10,000, which has been 
 lent for the present to the College, has so far removed the 
 j)re.ssure of interest. This large addition to the Endowment 
 for general purjwses was mainly owing to the very generous 
 donation of $3,000 from Sir Donald Smith, by which the 
 £4',000 was completed, that enables us to claim the balance of 
 the £1,000 granted by the S. P. ( t. The donation was re- 
 ceived from Sir Donald Smith a day or two after the close of 
 last Synod. 
 
 The majority of the students are this year to be in the new 
 College, under the charge of Canon O'Meara. This necessi- 
 tates some expenditure in improving the heating, which it is 
 expected will be met by collecting some of the subscriptions 
 formerly promised but not yet received. 
 
 But, though there has been an improvement in the financial 
 condition of the college, the expenses, including the interest, 
 can only be met with difficulty, and while there is such a bur- 
 den of debt, the condition of the College must continue inse- 
 cure. Nor is that the only difficulty. The Fund for General 
 Purposes has to meet the interest on the debt, while it is 
 urgently needed to pay the salary of a master, who can tea h 
 Mathematics and Natural Science. We find great difficulty in 
 securing this combination of subjects, but we must endeavor 
 to obtain it, as we cannot expect that, for some years, there 
 will be a sufficient number of students reading in these sub- 
 jects to give proper employment to separate teachers, even if 
 we could afford them.

 And this leads me to remark that while we occupy in this 
 
 country an exceptionally promising position for the future as 
 
 regards University Education, yet there are, for the present, 
 inconveniences and difficulties arising out of our system. In 
 supporting very cordially the University arrangements sanc- 
 tioned by Parliament, I looked foiward to substantial assist- 
 ance from the State —not for the College, but for the Univer- 
 sity. I expected that the State would in due course furnish 
 University buildings with provision for our meetings and ex- 
 aminations — with Library, Museums, Laboratory, and work- 
 shops. I also hoped for the appointment of Teachers in the 
 University in Science, Modern Languages, and other subjects, 
 whose lectures would be open to all students of the Univer- 
 sity. But things have travelled faster than I even antici- 
 pated. While the State is not in a position to give effectual 
 hell), ^^^ University has allowed the widest extent of reading 
 for its Degrees. Students are encouraged to follow their 
 special predilections, and can proceed to the B. A. Degree not 
 only by an elementary knowledge of various subjects, but by 
 higher reading in a special branch of study as Classics, Math- 
 ematics, Natural Science, Moral and Mental Philosophy, and 
 Modern Languages; and students in St. John's College were 
 actually last year studying for their Degree by each of these 
 special courses. This has thrown a heavy responsibility on 
 the Colleges, and I have to say that St. John's College is not 
 equal to it, unless it either gets a considerable addition to its 
 funds or larger assistance from Government. And I expect it 
 IS very much the same with the other Colleges. Last yeai* 
 St. John's College received from the Marriajre License Fund 
 $1,568.25, but this statement conveys an erroneous impression. 
 That sum did not properly represent a year's payment, though 
 it fell in during the course of a year In fact, the whole sura 
 received since the first payment, Jan. 13, 1879, covering seven 
 and a half years, has only been $3,514.93. No payment has 
 been received yet this year. 
 
 I do not think that the State is at present able to give the 
 necessary direct assistance to the University, and I cannot say 
 that I think it is desirable that it should, until it can do it 
 adequately. The permanent buildings of the University must 
 be costly, and it is better to leave them alone, till they can be 
 taken in hand properly. But it is only due to the Colleges 
 and to the students of the University that, till this is practi- 
 
 W^B 
 
^ment has 
 
 — 10 — 
 
 caUle, the State should i^ive the aid absohitely required by the 
 Colleges to secure efficient instruction. St. John's College re- 
 quires at least .1?2,( >()(>. 
 
 The state of the College continues so critical that, very 
 much against my will, I am to visit England to see if I can 
 obtain such help as will make the College at lea.st safe and 
 fairly effective, till wo can do more for ourselves and the States 
 is able to aid the University effectively. I cannot but think 
 that, if we can but weather successfully the next five or six 
 years, we shall be able to get on satisfactorily. My effort will 
 be to raise fil.OOO for the Gi^neral Endowment B'und, so as to 
 raise it to £9,{)(K), when we shall be entitled to £1,001) from 
 the S. P. C. K. It is a simple necessity that this effort be 
 made. And while such an effort is made in England, should 
 not something be done among ourselves? And this not merely 
 in the way of soliciting donatirns from individuals, but in 
 bringing the College annually before the congregations of the 
 Diocese. In the Diocese of Toronto there is an annual collec- 
 tion for Trinity College, and throughout the Presbyterian con- 
 gregations of this country there is an annual sermon, with a 
 collection for their College. One advantage of this would be 
 that, by the College being brought more distinctly before the 
 people, there might bo an accession of pupils. In the College 
 School there is an opportunity given for an excellent classical 
 education. I have often wondered that so few Day Pupils 
 come from Winnipeg. The fees are small — only $30 in the 
 year — and the walk from most T)arts of the city would be 
 anything but hurtful. Young boys of 14 from the College 
 School have won Scholarships in the last two years at the 
 preliminary examination of the University — being not only 
 first in Classics, but well prepared in the common school 
 subjects. The remarks I have made apply equally to the 
 Ladies' College It has few Day Pupils except from the im- 
 mediate vicinity, though the education given is veiy excellent. 
 The late examination wa^> most satisfactory. 
 
 Before concluding I desire to express my regret that there 
 is so great irregularity in taking up the collections directed 
 by the Synod. I believe myself in the regular accumulation 
 of small sums. If all the congregations gave to each object 
 the prescribed collection, the result would prove very gratify- 
 ing. But I especially regret the omission in the case of the 
 Clergy, Widow and Orphan's Fund. Somehow only a small 
 
 3 
 
— 20 
 
 proportion of the clergy now think it worth their while to be 
 contribtitors to the Fund, and a lar<^c number systematically 
 io[nore the collection. Had there been a vigorous pushing of 
 the Fund, it might now have been in a very satisfactory po- 
 sition. 
 
 But, Dear Brethren of the Clergy, let us never forget, when 
 thinking of the prosperity of the mission work of the J)iocese 
 or its institutions, how nuich depends on our own consecration 
 to the Lord's service. It is my experience that, where our 
 Clergy are devt)ted to tlieir work, sensible, and gonial, the 
 services of our Church are welcomed not only by our own 
 Chuich people, but by the settlers in general. There is very 
 little active prejudice. Only lot us try to approach the ideal 
 sketched out lately by the Venerable Bishop of Norwich in 
 these words: "Let it be clear to our conscience before Go:i 
 and evident in our life before men that the work, which the 
 Lord has given us to do for Him, by our life, word, and work, 
 so to testify of Christ to men as to win men to Christ, is the 
 loved object of our hearts, the absorbing aim of our life, the 
 one thing we do, to which all else is subservient." 
 
 Since the last meeting of Synod my predecessor, Bishop An- 
 derson, has been called to his rest. In ^U his life, what I have 
 been setting forth was beautifully exemplified. He adorned the 
 doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Gentle and atfec- 
 tionate, he seemed to live for others. All he had was at the 
 Master's service. He was beloved, as Bishop, by all the com- 
 munity here, and he was beloved in the Parishes in England, 
 which had the privilege of having him as their pastor. He 
 ever continued to have a warm place in his heart for this 
 country. Not the least of the many losses I have to regret on 
 my return to England is the want of his hearty welcome and 
 cheering words. Great, doubtless, now is his joy in the pres- 
 nce of his Lord. Let it then be in like manner, Brethren, 
 ''iur aim to present ourselves a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 
 unto God, which is our reasonable service.

 The Hudson's Bay Com})any, many years ago, set aside lot 
 4*3 in St. John's, otherwise known as lot 222 in the Company's 
 oJlicial survo}' of Red River Settlement. The lot was convey- 
 ed to the i)resent Bishop of Rupert's Land as a glebe for the 
 Incumbent of St. John's Church. Ultimately, on the transfer 
 of the country, the Dominion Government, as in all cases of 
 ([uiet occu)>ation at the time, gave a patent for the lot to the 
 Bisho}) of Rupert's Land. This lot has a frontage of 20 chains 
 on the Red River, and ccmfains 331 acres, not including the 
 outer two miles. Of the latter a patent was obtained for ir»5.l2 
 acres, and with the scrij) for the remaindei-, 360 acres of farm 
 lands were obtained in N h and S. VV. ^ of 27, 1, 10 w. The 
 total acreage belonging to St. John's is thus 840 acres. 
 
 Lot 44, except a small piece which was conveyed by the 
 Hudson's Bay Co. to the Leith trustees of the Bishopric, was 
 the property of the late Bishop Anderson, and given by him to 
 the present Bishop, to be disposed of at his discretion, but 
 
— 40 — 
 
 especially to supply the want of an Episcopal {,'lebo. The 
 l]ishop has set a[)art a certain portion of this for St. Joim's 
 CV)lh'n-o. including; the site of St. John's Collooe School, the 
 residence formerly occupied by J)ean Urisdale, Canon Mathe- 
 son's house, and the two semi-detached masters' houses. 
 
 The chuich and chuichyard of St. John's are partly upon 
 lot 4,S and partly on lot 44. The new colleoc ori tlie west side 
 of Main street stands on a piece of land containinjoj 4 acres, 3 
 of which are on lot 48 and one on lot 44. The residences of 
 the Cathedral staff are partly on lot 4?} and some on lot 44. 
 West of Main street the land was all laid out in town lots or 
 blocks. 
 
 A considerable number of these lots and l)lo('ks were sold in 
 the last three or four years. A portion of the purchase money 
 was in every case paid in cash and the usual course is now in 
 progress of dealing with sales which are in default. 
 
 The probability is that all the outer two nnles, and a great 
 part of the inner two miles, will by deed or foreclosure, re- 
 vert to the Dean and Chapter to whom these properties will 
 be tran.sferred in trust by the Bishop. 
 
 The interest received last year on account of the Dean and 
 Chapter was .'$4670.()(). There was on 81st December, 1885, a 
 cash balance on hand in favor of the Dean and Chapter of 
 $11,030.88, waiting to be invested. 
 
 The sum of $4,G7G.G0, received last year for interest, repre- 
 sents at 7 per cent, per annum, a capital sum of 80G,800. 
 
 The further income of the Dean and Chapter will depend 
 uj^on the amount realized from the mortgages now in ari'ear, 
 and from future sales of land. It will doubtless be an increas- 
 ing sum, as the land which they hold becomes valuable and is 
 sold. 
 
 The total amount divided amongst the five professors who 
 carry on the work of St. John's Parish and the scholastic 
 work in the college and school was for the year 1885 as follows :

 Which, divided amongst the five professors, gives an average 
 of Sl,727 for the year 1885, In addition, several of the pro- 
 fessors have a house free of rent. 
 
 In addition to the Parish work of St. John's, and the scho- 
 lastic work of the college and scliool, the Cathedral staff takes 
 charge of the Parishes of St. George's, in Winnipeg, and St. 
 Paul's and IVIorris. They have also seen to the supply ot the 
 mission J in the country which are vacant. On the whole, the 
 Cathedral staff, in addition to the three regular Parishes above 
 refen-ed to, have supplied during the last year, ministerial 
 woi-k to Portage k Prairie, Manitoba Penitentiary, Stonewall, 
 Victoria, Poplar Point, High Bluff, and various other parishes 
 or missions wliich have been vacant from time to time. In 
 this work they have received valuable assistance trom the 
 senior students of Tlieology. 
 
 It should be stated that the Parish of St. John's, as such, 
 yields no income to any of the Clergy attached to it.

 ST. JOHN'S COLLKGE. 
 
 In connection with the College tlicre are five professorshi])s, 
 
 VIZ. 
 
 1. Systematic Theology. 
 
 2. Exegetical 
 
51 
 
 :>. Ecclesiastical History. 
 
 4. Pastoral Theology. 
 
 5. Music. 
 
 It will be desirable to give a brief history in regard to each 
 of these chairs. 
 
 1st, systematic theology. .. 
 
 The funds for these chairs have been provided by donations 
 from individuals, and collections obtained in Canada by the 
 Bishop, and by the Bishop of Saskatchewan, then Archdeacon 
 McLean, and by the Bishop in England, mainly through his 
 oM friends. The S. P. C. K. added a grant of £500 sterling. 
 The greater part was given specially, and distinctly designate d 
 as to be available for the maintenance of this chair in St. 
 John's College and no other purpose whatever, and the re- 
 mainder was as similarly designated by the Bishop, from funds 
 placed at his discretic by friends. 
 
 These amounts have been fioui time to time invested in va- 
 rious securities, and the same resuk has followed these invest- 
 ments, as has been the case with all investments in this coun- 
 try I luring the last few years. Interest in several cases has 
 Ite^Mi in default, values of properties have declined, mortgages 
 have had to be, and must further be, foreclosed, and until this 
 process has come to an end, the actual sum available for earn- 
 ing interest to be paid to the holder of this chair, can'iot be 
 positively ascertained or state.l. The amount of interest re- 
 ceived on account of the investuient of this fund, duiing the 
 year 1885, was 81,082.30, which at 7 per cent, represents a 
 capital of $15,457.00. The final settlem-Mit of the mortgages 
 will bring the fund, it is expected, to a largor amount than the 
 sum just named. 
 
 2NI), E.X.EGETICAL THEOLOGY. 
 
 The funds for this chair have been provided by a sum of 
 £l,O()0 sterling given by some (me in Kngland tind held in 
 trust by the CM S. for the jMirpose of this chair, and which 
 yields ;> ^^er cent, per annum ; also by another sum of £1,000, 
 given by a Cambridge friend of tlie Bishop ; also a grant of 
 £500 from the 8. P.O. K., and by £1,000 donated to this chair 
 by the Bishop from gifts received by him from friends of the 
 C.M.S. The previous remarks in regard to investments ap- 
 ply here, except as regards the sum of £1,000, held in trust by 
 
 i 
 
,: I 
 
 
 
 — o2~ 
 
 the C. M. S. Tlie interest received last year amounted to 
 $l,09-t.58, which, allowing 3 per cent, for the C. M. S. mon- 
 ey and the balance at 7 pei" cent, represents a total capital of 
 $18,285. 
 
 3rd, ecclesiastical history. 
 
 The funds for this chair are derived from various gifts from 
 the Bishop of Rupert's Land, between July, 1874", and Dec, 
 1880, amounting to a total sum of $10,000; from a grant of 
 £501) in favor of this chair by the S.P.C.K., and a sum of X500 
 sterling which was raised by the Bishop of Rupert's Land 
 amongst his friei'ds, and was augmented out of the surplus 
 income when the Bishop of Rupert's Land held the c^^air. 
 
 The amount of interest received last year on investfvients for 
 this (^hair was $1,142 90, which, at 7 per cent., represents a 
 capital of $1(),314. 
 
 4th, pastoral thp:ology. 
 
 The funds for this chair were mainly derived from a sale b}' 
 the college of sites for the residences of Dean and Canons, who 
 are also Professors of the college. This sum was $(!,000. The 
 interest received last year was $302.82. The capital of this 
 fund Uiay be stated at $0,500. 
 
 5th, music. 
 
 The Bishop gave towards this chair the sum of $2,000 from 
 funds given him by iriends, and a further sum of $0,000 has 
 been donated from the Cathedral for land for the residences of 
 the Professors. The interest received on account of this fund 
 last year was $422.50. The capital of this fund may be con- 
 sidered as $8,500. 
 
 The total interest received last year for all the funds be- 
 longing to the five cliairs was $4,045.10, which represents a 
 total capital as follows : 
 
 Systematic Theolo{,'y $15,457 
 
 Exegetical Tlujology 18,285 
 
 Ecclesiastical History 16,.T14 
 
 Pastoral Theology 6,500 
 
 Music 8,500 
 
 Total $G5,05G 
 
 The above is the interest-))roducing capital. As the mort- 
 gages in arrear are dealt with, these amount will doubtless 
 
— 53 — 
 
 be increased, just as will be the case, by the same process, in 
 regard to the funds of the Dean and Chapter. 
 
 The Dean and Chapter and the chairs of the five professors 
 have at present an active cajiital of, in all, S131,85(j. It would 
 appear to be very desirable that all the old mortgages, not 
 now yielding full interest, should be finally brought to an is- 
 sue and the funds carefully invested, so as to produce a steady 
 income. 
 
 GENERAL ENDOWMENT FUND. 
 
 The interest of this fund is available tor any of the pur[)oses 
 of the College. The Bishop commenced it several years ago 
 with the hope of raising at least !:>o(),00(). The S.P.G. and 
 S.P.C.K. each encouraged the efibrt by a vote of £1,000 on 
 certain conditions. Since the last meeting of Synod, Sir 
 Donald A. Smith gave .S;5,()()(» to this fund'. This large gift 
 raised the fund to the amount required for securing the grant 
 from the S. P. G. That grant has been paid. The further 
 gifts obtained by the Bishop, with the addition of sums raised 
 in England by the Dean, and Archdeacon Pinkham, make up 
 nearly $22,000. There i.s, besides, a mortgage for !!i^3,000 on 
 land, which is at present in default. This sum of $22,000 is 
 at present lent to the College, forming part of its debt. When 
 £!),000 or about $1^3,000 dollars is raised, the vote of £1,000 
 horn the S.P.C.K. can be claimed. This must be raised soon, 
 as the grant lapses if not claimed within five years. 
 
 This sum of $22,000, added to the total of $1IH,S50 alrea- 
 dy stated, brings the total capital to the sura of $153,85(5. 
 
 SCHOLARSHIPS. 
 
 There arc the following scholarships in connection with the 
 College against each of which is given the capital belonging 
 to it.

 The funds for these 8cholaroh>i)S liave been obtained by gifts 
 from persons in this country or formerly connected with it. 
 Amongst these contributors the Bishop of Rupert's Land gave 
 an afifiireuate sum, divided amongst several of the scholarships, 
 
 of 850U. 
 
 BUILDINGS. 
 
 The following is a list of buildings which have been erected 
 and which have cost an aggregate sum of nearly $12U,0(M), 
 viz. : 
 
 Cathedral and Parish Church. 
 Old College School. 
 Divinity Hall. 
 Ciymi isium. 
 Kingston Hall. 
 
 Professors' residence (Refuge). 
 Canon Matheson's house. 
 Canon Coombes' house. 
 Two semi-detached masters' houses. 
 
 The New College on Main Street, including the Warden's 
 house. 
 
 The Deans residence. 
 
 In 1881 it was decided to build the new college, and sub- 
 scriptions and donations for that pur[)ose have been collected 
 from various sources, amounting to a total of aboiit !!^"25,<>0(). 
 
 There is at present a debt upon the college of i?(iO,i)0(), upon 
 about iS*22,000 of which, however, beijig part of the general 
 endowment fund of the college, no interest is paid. 
 
 Of the debt of i56(),9()0, about $5.S,()(iO has arisen from the 
 construction of the various college buildings, and the balance 
 from the heavy payments of interest, from the cost of furnish- 
 ing the newcollegeandthedoulleand excessive costc^f carrying 
 on two establishments in the year 1884. The college has sel- 
 dom done more than about meet its current expenses, includ- 
 ing rei)airs. 
 
 The charges for scholars are less than thev arc at Len- 
 noxville. Port Hope and other Hrst-tlass schools, whilst it is 
 well known that the cost of living, and of all charges, especially 
 fuel, have heretofore been very much higher here than in the 
 »'ast.

 NUMBEIl OF STUDENTS. 
 
 The following is a list of the number of students wlu^ have 
 attended the college and school during the years 18GG to 
 ISSo, both inclusive. It is only since 1882 that a separation 
 has been made between the boys attending the school and the 
 students attending the college.

 WORK OF THE COLLEOE AND SCH(JOL. 
 
 In an appendix is given a synopsis of the work done during 
 the i)ast year. 
 
 FINANCIAL WORKING OF THE COLLEGE AND SCHOOL. 
 
 In addition to the tivc professors, there are three masteis 
 eni})loyed in teaching, making a total statf of eight in all. 
 
 The accounts La' the year 1885 have been audited by two 
 members of this committee (Mr. H. M. Howell and Mr. C. J. 
 Brydges), and the following is the result : 
 
 Receipts for the year 1885 were —

 From this it will bo seen that the working of the college and 
 school for the year 1885, about paid its way, with an aggre- 
 gate of 90 students and scholars. 
 
 ST. John's ladies' school. 
 
 This school has a building which cost about S^O.OOO and 
 stands on three acres of land. The furniture is worth $2,300. 
 It has a consolidated debt amounting to $12,000, the interest 
 on which is met by the Board of Governors by means of vol- 
 untary subscriptions. The interest is at 4 per cent. The 
 school is under the management of Mrs. A. E. Cowley, who 
 has thus kindiy relieved the Board of Governors, for the time, 
 from a very great responsibility. 
 
 At the recent examination, 58 pupils })resented themselves. 
 The Bishop of Rupert's Land is the President of the Board of 
 Governors and Canon Matheson is Secretary-Treasurer, 
 
 CONCLUSION. 
 
 It is hoped that this statement of facts will place the real 
 and true position ot the Cathedral and college before the mem- 
 i)ers of the church throughout the Diocese, and dis])el many 
 illusions which have been in exisl^ence. 
 
 It is obvious tliat the machinery for the work in St. 
 John's College, whilst barely sufficient to provide all the 
 instruction which ought to be given in such an educational 
 establishment, is beyond the present demands made upon it 
 if judged solely by the number of students, But this is a 
 
 W '1 ' 
 
 Ifi ; . 
 
— 07 — 
 
 most fallacious test. The number of students and scholars 
 could be very largely increased without requiring any addi- 
 tional teaching staff, except possibly upon special subjects. 
 The present number of teachers are necessaiy to deal with all 
 the subjecl/S which have to be taught. 
 
 In other colleges the number of students is no larger, and 
 in some cases less, than at St. John's. 
 
 In King's College, Windsor, the last term closed with 23 
 students, of whom four were graduates. 
 
 At Trinity College, Toronto, four degi'ees of B. A wc-re 
 conferred. 
 
 At Morin College, Quebec, there are six professors rcpre- 
 si'ntiug the r;ubjects of the course in arts. It had 22 students 
 and sent up six successful candidates for the degree of B. A. 
 
 At Lennoxville there were 21 students and (52 boys. In 
 connection with that college there are four professors and five 
 masters. 
 
 At St. Francis College, Richmond, there are five professors 
 and lecturers and twelve students. 
 
 At St. John's there were 21 students. 
 
 It is of vital importance that every effort should be made 
 to increase the numbers of those who attach themselves 
 to St. John's. As the couritry progresses in nundjors and 
 wealth there should be no difficulty in accomplishing this. 
 
 Not only is the education afforded equal to anything which 
 can be obtained in any part of the Dominion of Canada, but 
 St. John's offers almost the only possible means of supplying 
 the wants of the Diocese in regard to missionary clergymen. 
 
 It would not be proper to close this report without direct- 
 ing special attention to the manner in which the Bishop of 
 Rupert's Land has personally aided the work which he has 
 undertaken and directed. 
 
 The Bir^hop has lent considerable sums of money from time 
 to time, to aid the college, out of the P]piscopal Endowment 
 fund, charging only 4 per cent, on the sums thus lent; thus so 
 far as those loans were concerned diminishin-r his income from 
 tliem by considerably more than one-half. 
 
 In addition, the Bishop has given absolutely very large 
 
 M 
 
I 
 
 ■ t 
 
 — 08 — 
 
 Slims of money to the buiklincf fund of the college, to the 
 chair of Ecclesiastical History, to scholarships, to the Ladies 
 College, to the general endowment fund, and to various other 
 objects in connection with the college. The aggregate of these 
 fiirurcs would reach a very larjje sum indeed. But large as is 
 t' e total, it forms but a portion onlj'^ of the earnest, selt-sacri- 
 fi ing spirit in which the Bishop has devoted his untiring 
 energy and zeal in the jiroinotion of the objects which have 
 been so dear to his heait.

 To the Most Reverand, the M etropolitai} of RupeH's Land. 
 
 My Lord, — I beg to siilnnit my re))ort of the two visits i 
 liave made to Eastern Canada, to represent to our brethern 
 there the needs of the Church in this Diocese. 
 
 My mission grew out of certain action taken by the Domes- 
 tic and Foreign Missionary Society of tlie Church of England 
 in Canada, as shown in the following resolutions adopted by 
 its Board of Missions last autumn : 
 
 1. " Moved by the Bishop cf Niagara, seconded by Mr. R. T. 
 Walkem, — That in the event of the Bisho}) of Rupert's Land 
 sending a Representative to set liefore the cor; .^legations in 
 this ecclesiastical Province, the pressing needs of the newly 
 settled regions of Manitoba, the Board will extend to him a 
 hearty welcome, aud, so far as their intiuence can reach, will 
 promote his etlbrts. 
 
 2. Moved and seconded ioy the same, — That this Board, con- 
 sisting of the Bishops and clerical and lay re[)rcsentatives of 
 each Diocese, do authorize their chairman acting on their be- 
 half, to furnish the representative of the Metropolitan (;f 
 Ru})ert's Land with a letter of strong reconnnendation to the 
 Bishops and clergy of all the congregations in all the Dioceses, 
 urging them to extend to hiiu all the aid in their power in 
 presenting to their congregations the pressing needs of the 
 Church of England in iManitoba, and inducing them to con- 
 ti'ibute liberallv towards them. 
 
 8. Moved by Mr. R. T. Walkem, .seconded by Mr. A. H. 
 Campbell, — That a return of the mcmies received by the 
 Representative of the Bishop of l^ujiert's Land be sent to the 
 Treasurer of the particular Diocese in which they are collected, 
 as well as to the Treasurer of the Board of Missions. 
 
 J. T. Ontario, Chairman, 
 
 C. H. MocKRiDGE, General Secretary. 
 
 Upon the receipt of these resolutions, your Lordship was 
 pleased to issue the following commission : — 
 
t 
 
 It.' 
 
 — ()0 — 
 
 "TTnderstanding tliat I am autliorized by the "Board of 
 Management of" the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society 
 of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada," consisting of Bishops 
 and clerical and lay representatives of each Diocese, to send a 
 Kepresentative to urge u]>on the congregations in the Ecclesias- 
 tical Province of Canada the pressing needs in the newly 
 settled rei>ions of Manitoba, covei'ino; in fact now almost the 
 whole of the Province of Manitoba, and that this Representa- 
 tive will, at the request of the Board, be furnished with a letter 
 of strong recommendation from the Chairman of the Board to 
 the Clergy of all the congregations in all the Dioceses, urging 
 them to extend to him all aid in their power in presenting to 
 their cono-refjations the needs of the Church in this Diocese, 
 and in inducing them to contribute liberally towai'ds them 
 1 hereby nominate as such Representative the Venerable 
 W. C. Pinkham, B. D,, Archdeacon of Manitoba, and Secretary 
 of the Synod." R. Rupert's Land. 
 
 Blshop's Court, Winnipeg, 
 
 November 18th, 1885. 
 
 Immediately after receiving this authorization I set out for 
 Ottawa to obtain from the Bishop of Ontario as Chairman of 
 the Board, the letter i-efeired to in the resolutions, and his 
 Lordship was good enough to honor my application by giving 
 me the fol lowing : 
 
 " To fhe BUliopfi and CJen/y of all the conrjregations in all 
 the Dioceses of the Eaies mistical Province of Canada : 
 
 Dear Brethern. — 
 
 In compliance with the foregoing resolutions of the 
 " Board of Management of the J)omestic and Foreign Mission- 
 ary Society of the Church of England in Canada," I liereby 
 commend toyour Christian sympathy and liberality the appeal 
 to be made by the Ven. Archdeacon Pinkham, the accredited 
 Representative of the Metropolitan of Rupert's Land. The 
 needs of Manitoba are great and urgent, and now is the time 
 to lay the foundationsof the Church there deeply and strongly, 
 in the confident hope that we are doing the Master's work in 
 a land that will become, before many years have elapsed, the. 
 home of multitudes i>f our Church and nation. 
 
 T am, yours faithfully, 
 
 J. T. Ontario, 
 Chairman of D. & F. Missionary Society.

 During this visit I prcaeiied twice in Ottawa, twice in 
 Peterborough, twice in Hamilton and several tim s in Toi-onto ; 
 addressed meetings of Clergy in Ottawa and Toronto, the 
 Bishops of Ontario and Toronto being respectively present, and 
 at Arnprior; and meetiiigs of Churchwomen at Ottawa, Toron- 
 to and Peterborough, the Bible class at the Church of the As- 
 cension, Toi-cnto, and the Sunday schools at St.Thomas Church, 
 Plamilton. At the meetings of Clergy in Ottawa, and after 
 tlie Bish(»p had spoken of his visit to the Northwest and of 
 the number of friends and acquaintances who greeted him 
 wherever he went, the following resolution was unanimously 
 adopted on motion of Rev. H. Pollard, seconded by Rev. P. 
 Owen Jones : 
 
 " That we, the Ottawa Clerical Guild thank the Venerable 
 Ai-chdeacon Pinkham for the valuable information he has 
 given us in relation to the Missionary Dioce.se of Rupert's Land : 
 we cordially sympathize with the work of the Diocese, and will 
 undertake to suppoit it to the best of our power." 
 
 No offertories were given or asked for, but promises were 
 made that when collections were taken in behalf of Domestic 
 Missions the claims of the Diocese of Ru|)ert's Land would 
 receive a larger measure of assistance than has been hitherto 
 accorded them. Aid was promised from sevtuai Sunday 
 scliools, and the active co-operation of Church women in the 
 different [)laces visited, several of whom expressed enthusiastic 
 sympathy with our work and an earnest desire to help us to 
 carry it on, may be confident y expected. The Ottawa 
 Women's Auxiliaiy unanimously voted its collection taken at 
 its quarterly meeting, ywhich 1 addressed, to the Diocese of 
 Rupert's Land. 
 
 The sum received for the Dioces-e duiing this visit, amount- 
 ed to $ll90.7o, of which .SoO+.OO or S42.0() per month comes 
 fron\ St. George's (Jhurch.^Ottawa. A detailed statement was 
 rendered to the Executive Committee on April 7th. 
 
 My return to Manitoba at Christmas was rendered necessary 
 by the understanding come to with the Board of Missions, that 
 your Lordship's Rejiresentative should not press the claims of 
 this Diocese during the season of Epiphany, when appeals are 
 made for Foreign Mi?!si(ms. 
 
 On April 13, I again set out for Eastern Canada, ray duties 
 in the l^iocese having engrossed my attention till that date. On 
 
 9 
 
I 
 
 — 08 — 
 
 that occasion I visited Montreal, Quebec, St. Jolin, N.B., Kings., 
 ton, PortHope, Hamilton,Gueli)h, St.t'athaiines,Niagara, Brant- 
 ford, London, Gait and Hespeler. The Metropolitan of C xnada, 
 whom I met in St. John, most kindly invited me to preach in 
 liis cathedral, at Fredericton; and Revs. Dr. Partridge and F. 
 Murray urged lue to visit Halifax, and promised to aid me to 
 the utmost of their power, but my previous arrangements 
 rendered it impossible for me to accept either of these invita- 
 tions ; and, later on, 1 was obliged to decline invitations to 
 Clinton, Woodstock, Petrolia and othei- ))laces. 
 
 1 was pi'esent at the meeting of the Board of Missions, held at 
 Quebec. May oth, and was one of the speakers at the Mis.sionary 
 Meeting held under its auspices, but the Board could not find 
 time to hear the statement I desired to make, and the mem- 
 bers piesent contented themselves with brief answers to one or 
 two questions. 
 
 On the invitation of the Bishop of Niagara, whose kindness 
 1 shall never forget, I was a speaker at the Mis.sionary Meet- 
 ing held in connection with the annual session of his Synod, 
 and I was accorded a place in the Synod services and a seat 
 on the Hoor of the House. Similar })rivilegos were accorded 
 me in London, in the Synod of the l)iocese of Huron, whose 
 missionary meeting 1 also addressed. 
 
 The uirshoj) of Niagara gave another illustration of the sym- 
 ])-ithy he had for us — a .sympathy that his elevaticm to the 
 liigh ortice of Bishop is certain to dee{)en and intensify — l»y 
 devoiing the otiertory on the first day of Synod to the Diocese 
 of Rupert's Land. 
 
 Besides pi caching in the cities and towns I have named, I 
 addressed St. Paul's Sunday School at Kingston, and tbe Sun- 
 day Scliool at (jruel))h, on our Indian work, which they are 
 most kindly aiding. 1 also addressed the Sunday School at 
 Port Ho]te, the Bible Class in connection with St. George's 
 C/hurch, Guel))!!. the (Jirls' Friendly Society, Kingston, and 
 tli(3 Kingston branch of the Women's Auxiliary; and conducted 
 Divine Service at the Biantford Institution for the Blind. 
 
 Finding, while in Montreal, that tho idea of supporting one 
 particular mission in this Diocese was a popular one with ))ro- 
 minent and influential members of the St. George's and ^'hrist 
 Chtn-ch Cathedral (Congregations, I wrote to the Rectors of 
 these churches (The Very Rev. the Dean of Montreal, and Rev.

 for Neepawa and Oak Lake respectively, and promising that 
 the clergyman, when appointed, should rei)ort ([uartei-ly to 
 the Rector of the congregation contributing; the urant, and 
 thus keep up a direct sui)ply of infcvmation. To this ])ropo- 
 sition I liave had no reply. 
 
 Of course the sums actually received do not by any means 
 represent the interest that we may hope has been stirred u'p. 
 
 From the kindness everywliere shown me and the interest 
 tliat has been awakened, 1 think we may feel that there is a 
 growing sentiment in om- favcjr in Eastern Canada, and may 
 count upon increased assistance for our Ciun-ch work. But it 
 I'emains to be seen whether tiie i)resence of a liviii<>- aiient who 
 know." whereof he speaks, will ]iot he. from time to time necess- 
 ary tf keep up the interest ami make the su))ply of means 
 that are so urgently needed tiow steadily in. No doubt the 
 Canadian Church will embrace the opportunity that the meet- 
 ijig of her General S^aiod next September will afford, to turn 
 to the best account the three years' ex]icrience she has gained 
 in dealing with Mission work, and will then devisee such 
 measures as will give that woi'k a foremost place in the hearts 
 '•*" her people. 
 
 In telling our brethern in tlie cast the story of our need;; 1 
 felt that to si)eak only of funds woultl by no means exhaust 
 my theme. I have spoken of {»ur need, never so great as it is 
 now, of men, living men, men of g(jod rc{)ort full of the s[)irit 
 and of wisdom ; but 1 am nnich mistaken if our need is not 
 more or less felt in every Diocese in the Dominion. I believe 
 I am not alone in thinking that throughout Cauada to-day the 
 special want of the Church is such a bajjtism of the Holy 
 Spirit as to make men remember that the work of the ministry 
 is the noblest of all woi'ks, and that if there were to-day the 
 same faith, the same zeal, the same forgetfulness of self in the 
 all abs()r])ing duty of striving to lead men to God, that charac- 
 terized the times of the A|)()stles, .similar results would follow. 
 Kow many of our leading people think of the pastoral ofhce for 
 their sons :• How uiany mothers in the land whose sympathy 
 with every form of good work shews that they love the Lord, 
 dedicate theii sons in infancy to the highestof all employments ^ 
 We nuist put this woik on the very liighest i)lane ; we nnist 
 have the very best of Canada's sons bearing the Ark of the 
 Lord. 
 
— 70 — 
 
 England is to-tlay sending out some of hci best and most 
 gifted sons for Mission woik in all parts of the heathen world ; 
 will Canada refuse her best to lay the foundations of Christ's 
 kingdom in this n^w part of the Dominion on whose future so 
 many high hoi)es are built / 
 
 If then this be our gi'eat want, let us resolutely set ourselves 
 to the task of supplying it, and we kn(nv that we can corli- 
 dentiy look to the Lord of the Harvest to bless all means that 
 are used to tali and send forth laborers into iiis Harvest."

 Ever dutifully yours,

 "At t]i(' Meeting of the SyiKKl of tliis Diocese, lield at Win- 
 iiipen-. (Ill the 2Sth and 'iOth October, I.S85, tiie following 
 resohitioii was nnaniniously a(U)|)te(i : 
 
 "That a (.oiiiiaittee he appointed to propai'e an address to 
 the Enjjlish Societies, and the Keclesiastieal Province of 
 (Janada, setting fortli tlie present financial condition ot this 
 Diocese — the urgent necessity for establishing sound founda- 
 tions for carrying on the work of our church in this country, 
 with its yeaily int^reasing population — and the impossibility 
 of doing wliat is necessary in such a young community with- 
 out further assistance from the older branches of the church." 
 
 The Committee now beg to lay the following statement be- 
 fore the English Societies, and the Province of Canada. 
 
 The Diocese covers the whole of Manitoba, and extends 
 eastward through a prtrtion of Ontario. 
 
 There are at present al)out fifty clergymen in the Diocese 
 of whom nineteen are either in charge of self-supporting 
 parishes, or are C. M. S. Indian Missionaries, or are a portion of 
 the College and Cathedral staff Twenty-live are missionaries 
 in the country districts paid partly tjut of Diocesan funds, and 
 partly by the people amongst whom they labor. 
 
 The amount contributed by the Diocese at present averages 
 about sr)Oo to each clerijyman, and involves an annual ajjiJi'e- 
 gate payment of about Sl2,o()0. 
 
 There are six churches in Winnipeg, and two others, self- 
 supporting. An endowment fund amounting at present to 
 about .S-o,0()(), the interest of which is available for missionary 
 ]iurposes, exists in the Diocese. The different missions supple- 
 ment the grants from the Diocese by direct contributions to 
 their clergymen. Suljscriptions and collecti(ms are also made 
 in every parish and mission in aid of the general Mission 
 Fund. A considerable sum is being raised and expended 
 every yeai- foi- the erection of churches and parsonages in the 
 several missions. These various sums, including tl;j expendi-

 The total amount therefoie expundiMl for our church work 
 in the Diocese was last year about Soo.OlM). 
 
 The great depression of business which has existed for tlie 
 last two or three years in Manitoba, has seriously crippled the; 
 ability of our church }>eople tt) subscribe, and lias rendered it 
 impossible at present to increase contributions for chuicli pur- 
 ]n)ses. Many of our peoi)le are just starting in a new country 
 and have not been long enough at work to do moie than 
 make a livelihood for themselves and families. 
 
 The Mission Fund starts this tinancial year with a debit bal- 
 ance of about !*7oO. Its outlay for the current year with its 
 present missionary staff, including all expenses of management, 
 travelling of clergymen to visit vacant or unopenetl nnssions, 
 to sup))ly outfits, etc., etc., will ])robably -each fully .Sir),()()(>. 
 With even increased collections throughout the Diocese it is 
 dirticult to see how a revenue of i5i"i,()00 can be secui-ed if the 
 S. P. G. are compelled to cairy out their intention of reducing 
 their grant for next year by £2iK) or $1,000. 
 
 This Diocese is now passing througli a severe anil trying 
 crisis. Three years ago engagements began to be entered 
 into, in part encouraged by promises of aid from Canada, 
 which unfortunately have not been fulfilled. The Board of 
 ]3omestic Missions formed by the Provincial Synod of ' 'anada 
 ])roposed to raise S0,O(K) yearly, (besides $1,000 for St John's 
 College), for establishing oiu- church in this Diocese on broad 
 and solid foundations. We have leceived In full ))aynu'iit, as 
 we understand, for the current year from Canada, the sum of 
 $455 only. 
 
 To show the ai)preciation of the si)iritual necessities and 
 wants of this new country, by others, it may be well to point 
 
R* 
 
 — 7» — 
 
 out what one body is now doing in tlie North- we.st. For the 
 year ended -Ust \larch, lb8o, it .sent from Eastern Canada to 
 Manitoba, in aid of its college in Winnijjeg — for home nus- 
 sions in Manitoba— for church and manse fund — and for In- 
 dians — a total sum of about i?2!>,0(lO, in additi(m to a sum of 
 Si 0,750 for its church work in the territory beyond Manitoba, 
 or in all about S-t2,7r)U. 
 
 Our church in this Diocese is straining every effort to suj)|)ly 
 its ministrations in every part of the country where settlers 
 are going in. 
 
 There "re now, within the Diocese, forty-three church edi- 
 fices and twenty jiarsonages. Thty have mainly been erected 
 (luring the last live or six years, and have cost an aggregate 
 sum of at least i?*2(K),00(). This is exclusive of organs and all 
 interior hirnishing. Special grants have been made in favour 
 <if individual buildings l)y the S. P. C. K., and they have also 
 given a block grant of £2,000 or $1U,000, which has been used 
 in aidinn the buildiuij' of some of the fortv-three churches, and 
 has n )w all been spent. That Society has at its last meeting 
 generously given another block grant of £1,000 or !55,0<>0 to 
 be ex})ended in the same way. 
 
 Except the aid thus attbrded by the 8. P. C K., the rest of 
 the outlay has been found by our own church people within 
 the Diocese, including some helj) from fi'iends outside. 
 
 In the Bishops address to the Synod held last nuuith, he 
 ])ointed out in the following words, three districts within Ids 
 Diocese which at ))resent are unsu})plietl or veiy insufticiently 
 suj)plied with church ministrations: 
 
 " Let me draw your attention more especially to three 
 large tracts of settled country. 
 
 There is a tract counnencing at the frontier neai Wakopa. 
 running north 30 miles and west 7<> miles, in which there is 
 one clergyman. This tract is situated in eight muiucipalities, 
 has 70 town.shii)s, :i-I Pi'ote.stant schools and 2!) post offices. 
 
 There is a second tract consisting of the .settled country 
 north of the Manitoba and Northwestei'n Railway from West- 
 bourne to Shoal jjake. This tract is situated in seven nuuii- 
 cipalities, has 4(i townshi|)s, ;>2 Protestant schools and 14 
 post ortices. There is no resid(!nt clergyman. Some of the 
 townships adjaeent to the lailway are visited by missionaries 
 stationed un the line.

 There is a third tract occupying the very centre of Mani- 
 toba, lying between lines through the Portage and Brandon 
 on the east and west, and between the Manitoba and North- 
 western Railway and the Pembina Mountain branch of tlic 
 (J. P. R. on the north and south. This tract in which there 
 is one resident missionary is situated in twelve municipalities, 
 has 150 townships, 7<) Protestant school districts and 30 post 
 offices. 1 exclude the townshi})s on the line of railway which 
 receive the visits of missionaries stationed at places on the 
 lines." 
 
 To properly supply that very large area of country, and to 
 till up ga[»s existing in other parts of tlie Diocese, will require 
 ten additional missionaries, making, with those at work at 
 present, a total of 00, and will bring iip the total expenditure 
 in the Diocese to the sum of $20,000 a year, or about $7,500 
 beyond our present income. 
 
 The salaries paid to our cleigymeii are moderate in the ex- 
 treme. They each have to serve two, and in some cases three 
 or more districts, and have to travel many miles every Sunday 
 to hold services, no matter what the weather or the state of 
 the roads may be. Nearly every one consequently has to be 
 at the ex[)ense of keej)ing a horse. 
 
 The clergy attached to the College and Cathedral, in addi- 
 tion to their heavy educational work, act as visiting mission- 
 aries to places which are unsui)plied with resident clergymen. 
 
 The area covered by each nussion is so largo as to reijuire 
 two or even three churches in various parts of the districts. 
 Each clergyman should have a i)arsonage. 
 
 To meet the wants of the C'hurch throughout the Diocese at 
 least twenty more parsonages are reijuired and from thirty to 
 forty additional church editices. To erect these will involve 
 an outlay during the next two or three years of certainly Jiot 
 less than $100,000. The })eople in the various places will do 
 their utuiost.but it is obvious that without aid from abroad their 
 etforts must fall far short of the uigent necessities of the case, 
 and ex[)erience shows that those elibrts are mainly dependent 
 on the pi-esence of missionaries. 
 
 Three hundred miles of branch railways will have been con- 
 structed in Manitoba this year. Nearly as nuich more is ex- 
 pected to be built ne.\t year. These railways will pass through 
 the three districts dcicribetl in the Bisho[)'s charge already 
 
f 
 
 f 
 
 — 80 — 
 
 (piloted, and they will be tiio means of pouring a constantly in- 
 creasing population into the country. 
 
 Without aid the cluu'ch in this Diooese cannot attempt to 
 supply the calls that are being now made upon it, and which 
 will so rapidly increase. 
 
 To do its duty properly, to the growing number of church 
 people who desire earnestly to remain within its fold, the 
 church in tins Diocese needs an addition to its present yearly 
 income of about S>7,500, and if this want is supplied it will 
 then have to exjtend in the building of churches and parson- 
 ages at least ^100,000 within the next two or three years. 
 
 Its grants to missions are made from year to year, so thai 
 when the present depression passes away as each locality ad- 
 vances in prosperity, and in it-s ability therefore to increase its 
 contributions foi the support of its ovvn mission, the gi'ant 
 frou). the geneial fini'l will be gradually withdrawn, pointing 
 steadily to a condition of self-support at the earliest possible 
 day. By this plan new missions where reipiired can be estab- 
 lished and aided, until the whole country becomes sutRciently 
 })opulated to render it less ini[)erative to obtain aid from the 
 centre. 
 
 The church in Rupert's Land has a great mission Ijetbre it. 
 A moderate amount of aid now will eM.al)le it to lay broad and 
 solid foundations for future usefulness and strencjth. 
 
 Will it, under its pi'esent grave conditions of ditfioultv, 
 a])peal in vain for that aid which this statement explains and 
 justifies, and without which it cannot possibly achieve those 
 resjlts, which every lover of our church both in Eng'and and 
 in Canada, must so ardently desire to see secured in this new 
 land, into which such large numbers of church people may be 
 expected to enter, both trom England and from Canada.

 The Minute of the Committee on tlie Death of Right 
 Kev. David Anderson, first Bishop of Rupert's Land. 
 
 " The Executive Committee of the Synod of the Diocese of 
 Rupert's Land has heard with deep concern the news of the 
 decease of the Right Reverend David Anderson, first Bishop 
 of Rujiert's Land. 
 
 Bishop Anderson's Episcopate of fifte- n years was strongly 
 marked by loving devotion to his Master's service and by 
 dee[), fatherly interest in the various membei-s of his flock. 
 
 His heart yearned over the sad condition of the heathen 
 tribes scattered over his innuense Diocese ; he loriixed to se(^ 
 them surrounded b}'^ humane and civilizing influences and 
 brought to the true light. 
 
 His memorv is atlectioiiately cherislied h\ all the older ref- 
 idents of this country, who recall many acts of personal kind- 
 ness and thoughtful sympatliy. 
 
 From the time he left the Diocese till the commencement of 
 his sad and lingering attiiction, Bishop Anderson manifested 
 the liveliest interest in the work of his successor, and <lid 
 everything in his jiower to help forward the various plans for 
 the advancement of the Church in Rupert's Land, which the 
 ])r-esent Bishop from time to time set on foot. 
 
 The Committee desires to offt>r to the sorrowing members 
 of Bishop Andeisons family the expression of its heartfelt 
 sympathy with them in their luireavement, and to express the 
 earnest h()j)e that they may ftdly reali//^ that tlieir sorrow is 
 his Joy and their loss his gain."
