'-' PRAYERS OF THE SOCIETY. I. '•■ BEFORE THEY COMMENCE BUSINESS. Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings, with Thy most (iracioua favour; and further us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works begun, con- tinued and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name ; and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life, through Jesus (Jhrist our Lord. — Amen. O God from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all works of piety and charity do proceed, we beseech Thee to visit with Thy favour our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, and so rule her heart, that she may in all things seek Thy honour and gloiy. Prosper with Thy blesHing thtt designs of this Society. Comfort with Thy grace, those benefactors who contribute to its support. Bless the ministry of Thy servants the Clergy; the endeavours of all who are»engaged in spreading the knowledge of trutt religion in the dominions of our Sovereign, and the labours of those Mis- sionaries who are proclaiming the same in this Province. And may Thy Holy Spirit direct all our consultations to the advancement of Thy Qloryt and the good of Thy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. — Amen. O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldst the death of a sinner, but that he should be converted and live: Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Here- tics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness < ° ^^art, and contempt of Thy Word ; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, t Thy flock, that thej may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one Shepherd, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God. world without end. — Ambn. Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thj Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we foi^give them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ; for Thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. — Amen. WHEN THE BUSINESS IS ENDED. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fisl- lowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. — Ambm. I n CONSTITUTION OF THE SOCIETY. I.

Whereas, it is desirable for the better provision for the ministrations of the Church in the Diocese of Frederiction, that there be a systematic and permanent plan for the payment of the stipends of Missionaries ; therefore resolved, — 1. That in order to encourage the established Missions to become gradu- ally self-supporting, all grants made by or through this Society in aid of Missions (not including stipends secured to any of the elder Clergy on the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel grant during life) shall from henceforth be made conditional on the contribution by the Mission itself of a stated sum towards the Missionary's stipend. 2. That all grants made by the General Committee be made subject to these Resolutions, and be distributed under the direction of the Board of Home Missions, who shall have at all times all such and like powers and rights with respect to the same, or any of them, as the General Committee of the Society would have if in Session. 3. That the Board of Home Missions annuallv present to the Greneral Committee of the Society, on the first day of their meeting, a full and detailed account of all business transacted during the expired year, and also a list of grants reccommended for the ensuing year, with the condi- tions to be annexed tc each, and shall also report to the Executive Committee' at each quarterly meeting thereof. 4. That on the approval by the General Committee of the grants recom- mended for the year, the same shall forthwith pass into operation on the basis of the foregoing Resolutions, and subject to the following regulations: (a.) The Board of Home Missions (acting in conjunction with the Lord Bishop) shall forthwith, after the annual meeting, communicate with the Wardens or other Lay Members of the Church, in each Mission, requiring them to enter into engagements (A) with the Society, to contribute the sum required of the Missions for the year. (6.) Should such engagement not be entered into to the satisfaction of the Boiard before the 16th day of August then next, they shall communicate with the Missionary, requiring him to give each of his congregations notice (B) of withdrawal of all payments as a Missionary receiving stiftend through this Society on Ist October then next, unless the engagement be meantime completed. (e.) Should such engagement not be entered into to the satisfaction of the Board before the Ist of October then next, all payments to the Missionary's salary, through the Society, shall be withdrawn, and no stipend shall thereafter be payable in respect thereof: Provided that should the Mis- sionary see fit to resign his cure, he shall, if stationed for the remainder of the year by the Lord Bishop in any vacant Mission which may be willing to comply with the terms required of the defaulting Mission, be entitlec^ . ,'i^Ma-iil»,'tit0mi u -«•> * Wil t: ) 1| I I 14 in respect of the Hervices to be rendered in such new Mission, to such stip- end as may be agreed upon between such Missionary and the Board, not exceeding that provided for the continuation of his services in his former Mission, and upon the like terms and conditions. Provided, also, that any such Mkisionary, if nol so appointed to any new Mission, may nevertheless be permitted by the Board, on special application, to draw on 1st of April for a sura in their discretion; but not exceeding his previous quarter's stipend from the Society, (d.) Where sucli engagement is entered into, the Board shall forthwith notify the Missionary, who shall thereupon (unless the terms of such engagement shall not be fulfilled as hereinafter provided) be entitled to draw upon the Society for the full amount of his quarterly salary, includ- ing therein the sum required for the quarter of the Mission itself. («.) The sum required of the Mission shall in snch case be remitted by the Wardens quarterly in advance to the Treasurer, and may consist either of money or written receipts of the Missionary, for produce furnished to him at the market rates: Provided, that two months' grace (but no more) may be allowed the Mission to make up such sum ; that in to say, the 8un> required for the quarter of the ensuing year, ending the 30th October, shall be remitted before the Ist September, and for the following quarter before the Ist December next. (/.) Should the Missionary give any such written receipt for produce, he shall keep a record thereof, and shall make his next quarter's draft for such sum only as shall be due him, after he shall be debited with such receipts in the Treasurer's books. (c.) Should the sum required from the parish not be remitted as afore- said, the Treasurer shall forthwith, on the expiration of the two monthtt' grace, give notice (0) to the Missionary requiring him to give notice (D) of withdrawal of stipend as such Missionary, and all such stipend shall be thereupon withdrawn pursuant to such notice ; and unless the sum agreed to be paid for the quarter shall be forthwith remitted, no stipend shall be Eayable for such expired quarter beyond the amount agreed to be contri- uted on the part of the Society ; and none whatsoever for the succeeding qnarter: and the Board shall appoint a deputation to inquire into the causes of such default, and shall report thereon at the next meeting of the Grcmeral Committee.

No grant shall be made from such Fund until the capital thereof shall, by accumulation or otherwise, have reached the sum of $1200, nor shdU the grant or grants thereafter to be made exceed in any one year the inter- est on the capital of such Fund for the year. 5.

W/iereas, The grants nimle by the Diocesan Church Society from it« annual income (exclusive of the grants received from the Society for the Propagation of the Gosoel), are made in aid of local c(mtributions for the Hup|>ort of the several Missions: Therefore Jtcsolved, That in future, grants from this Committee will be made mainly with referen(« to the ability of the members of the Church in the several Parishes to supnort their own clergymen — tho amount of i: uil contril)uti()nH for (/hurch objects in such Parishes, and the sum paid in aid of the general objects of the Society. That all bci{ueKts made to the Society be funded, tM heretofore, and the interest only applied to the general or special purposes for which they are beuueathed. Whereas, In consequence of the limited means at the disposal of the Society, and the great necessity for new and extended work, it has become of great conse(iuence that all local glebes and other endowments of Parishes should be fully utilized. Therefore 1. Resolved, That the Board of Home Missions be authorized to require from the Church Wardens of every Parish or Mission receiving aid from the Society, full dcUiils of all such glebes, church lands, and other invest- ments, yearly or oftcncr, as they shall see fit. 2. That if it shall appear that any part of the income from the glebes or investments held for the Bector's use, is taken to make up the sum re- quired l)y the Society from the Mission, the Board may forthwith increase tlie amount required in proportion thereto ; and in case of neglect on the part of tho Rector or Church Wardens to collect the interests or rents, the Board be authorized to inquire into the nuUter, and, if tliere be sufficient cause, suspend the grant to the Mission until the management be made satiKfactory to the Board of Home Missions. That the Secretary of the Diocesan Church Society be requested to furnish the Treasurer with a minute of contributions, reported from every Parish or Mission, specifying the amounts payable to general and special funds ; that the amounts so returned be charged by the Treasurer to each Parish or Mission in a book to be kept for the purjnose, and that a detailed statement of all contributions then remaining unpaid, be rendered by the Treasurer to the Executive Committee, for their action in the matter, at the October meeting and each meeting thereafter, so long as any amount shall continue in arrear.

The crisis is at hand for which its founders made such timely and wise provision. Gradu- ally but surely all external aid is being withdrawn, and the Missionary Work in this Diocese will soon wholly rest upon this Society. In looking back upon the past, it will be observed that the Society, year by year, has extended its work. Missions have been added. They are greater in number now, aud more effi- ciently supplied than ever before. Provision has been made for the Widows and Orphans of the Clergy, and for those worn out in the Service. A Book Depository has been successfully estab- lished. By making grants conditional an regular local payments the members of the Church in the several Parishes and Missions have, to a great extent, acknowledged their obligations and their duties, and some of the older Parishes are now prepared to rely wholly on self-support. In several marked instances members of the Church have felt the claims of this Institution, when prepar- ing to " give an account of their stewardship." Within a few years legacies have been received to the amount of $88,000. By express condition, in some cases of the testators, and in dll, by a long standing resolution of the Society, bequests are invest- ed, and the interest alone is available for expenditure. Such then, in brief, is the result of the past doings of this So- ciety. What is its present position ? The income from voluntary contributions has of late decreased. This may be due to unfor- seeu difficulties and unprecedented financial embarrassment. The Treasurer, in his account made up at the close of the fiscal year, shows a considerable amount overdrawn. There is little prospec so busi have Brook, Missior residen do thei fort wil Cont Alb] "Wi Rev. J. ■. ii-- r i.M.r 1 ' I' L'l'if! .ffl'!^- f:i;// I .(/':/. lihi" t.. /!•' i J, } ■!!

The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel will carry out their determination. Of this they have given kind and timely warning. The grave questions before the Churc'i in this Diocese are these : — Are the Stipends of the Clergy, known to be now too small, to be reduced ? Are certain Missions to be given up, — Churches closed, — and the ministrations of religion withdrawn ? Is the Society to yield the noWe position held since its formation of annually meeting all its obligations? Is it to incur debt, or diminisli the income of future years by the use of vested funds? This Society presents, as its various objects, those which every member of the Church must feel it a duty as well as a privilege to promote. From past records, annual reports, and detailed ac- counts the closest inquiry is invited. This work has been engaged in and carried on with one purpose, with one endeavour, — for the benefit of the Church, the maintenance and extension of true religion, and with care and strict economy in the way of expen- diture. Andover. — Rev. L. A. Hoyt writes as follows: " In writing my Report, I know that I ought not to refer to the hard times, which I feel sure will be the burden of so many reports this year. But it seems to me that in this inland Mission, where money, at the best, is never very plenty, and where we have been so largely dependent on the lumber trade, which this year has been almost a failure, that our case is peculiarly a hard one. But our cloud is not without a silver lining. The depression in the cities has driven numbers to the country, and of those who have come to this Mission a fair proportion are Churchmen, and many, of such a type as to render the future prospects of the Church in the Mission very bright. I have been so busily engaged in establishing the Mission of Aberdeen that I have not been able to visit the new settlers at Tilley and Trout Brook, but hope to do so in a few weeks. The people of the Mission of Aberdeen and Kent are rejoiced at the prospect of a resident Clergyman among them, and express their willingness to do their part towards his support. The new settlement of Beau- fort will be a great addition to this Mission." Contributions amount to $60. -.,...^\ ,,, . „,i, ,,, . •, i' Albert County. — Rev. G. Love reports as follows : ' -Jf^ " With the exception of a four or five months' residence by Rev. J. H. Talbot, Albert County has been without a clergyman Wit w. '•TTffnirra LiriMin' atsa 28 for a period of nearly seventeen (17) years. In September last, or about nine months ago, I was sent here to see wliat could be done. On arrival, I found that there were three churches in the County : one at Hopewell Hill, one at Harvey, and one at New Ireland. The Church at Hopewell Hill was in a deplorable state. The Communion Table had been removed, the cloth stolen, no Service Books, neither Bible nor Prayer Book, the walls scribbled over, portions of the stove pipes gone, others broken, the melodeon unlit for use. The Church at Harvey was still worse, and deemed so unsafe, and needing so much repairs, that I had to abandon all idea of holding service in it, till proper and efficient means could be devised for raising a sufficient sum of money to begin the work of restoration. The third Church is situated in New Ireland, an out of the way place, and very diffi- cult of access, and without any seeming surrounding population. Probably it is owing to this fact that I found the Church building ift a better state of preservation than could well be expected after the lapse of seventeen years. The Communion Table, the cloth, reading desk, pulpit and seats were all there. The Graveyard was fenced in, and the sanctity of the place respected. I felt it was a mistake ever to have built their Church. The worshippers who may have lived around in former years had either died or left the neighborhood. There remain (or they have been suc- ceeded by) a few Roman Catholic families, who eke out a scanty subsistence. I grieved at what I saw, but I could not resist the conviction that their Churcli was like a stranded vessel from which the waters had receded. I was, therefore, reluctantly obliged to turn aside, and, like the engineer who had to construct a railroad, follow population. " Such was the condition of things nine months ago. Let me briefly state what has been done, and what we are at present doing. " In the first place, Hopewell Hill Church was immediately made ready for service. The Communion Table was recovered, the walls were whitened, stove pipe purchased at a cost of about S6,00, the stoves i)laced in position and fitted for winter use, the melodeon repaired at a cost of S4.00, and placed in the chancel where, on Christmas Day, it was heard for the first time, after a silence of about seventeen years. Lamps and shades were also purchased, locks repaired, and a kneeling cushion for the Prayer Desk presented by Mr. Charles Peck, whose zeal for the Church's welfare is beyond all praise. In addition to this, services have been held and regularly maintained at Hillsboro, fifteen miles distant ; at The Hall, Riverside ; at the Methodist Chapel, Harvey ; at the Court House, Hopewell Cape, and at the Albert Mine Church — six stations in all. lady V else se wife w hand j service inconv to forn I am h six Mis depend regard mentior been ex These n and firii for man worship collectio Missions probablj conditioi delivere( "Our 1879, is " Kith Ministry may say, deviatioi raising be rende the peop or even them S.') be necess that $: the safet Sunday another undertak lished an 29 ' last, Id be n the New >rable cloth c, the others •y was jpairs, proper it sum irch is jrdiffi- lation. lilding d after } cloth, veyard ; felt it hippers died or en suc- , scanty isist the el from ictantly instruct Let me present ediately covered, )f about use, the chancel , after a Irere also Prayer Church's ces have en miles Chapel, le Albert '* When I first came to th*^ County, I could find but one young lady who understood anyth ng of church music, and every one else seemed to hold back from even singing a simple hymn. My wife was, therefore, obliged to take the playing and singing in hand at the .different places, and conduct that portion of the service for me. As this state of things was undesirable, inconvenient, and could not always be possible, I exerted myself to form local choirs, or the nucleus of choirs, in each place, and I am happy and encouraged to be able to report that each of the six Missions, or Stations in the County, is now in a position to depend upon itself, and furnish its own music and singing. I regard this as a great gain and step in advance. I may here mention that a sum of about $18.00 (eighteen dollars) has also been expended on Prayer Books, Hymn Books and Music Books. These necessary outlays, together with Sexton's salary, lighting and firing the places where services were held, and the payments for many other accessories to the decent performance of public worship, have taxed the strength of all of us to the utmost. One collection, $3.33, (three dollars thirty-three cents) for Foreign Missions, is all I am able to report for external use. I ought probably also to add that the requisite guarantee for the $300 conditional on the Society's grant of $500 was signed and delivered to the Secretary in due form. " Our financial account for the nine months ending June 15, 1879, is as follows, viz. : Offertory $42 46 Foreign Missions 3 33 . i ' ' Net proceeds of Concerts 45 02 ^ . $90 81 " Hitherto, further than the grant for the support of the Ministry by the Diocesan Society, nothing has been received, I may say, outside the County, ft is now necessary to make a deviation, and appeal for funds to supplement what we are raising amongst ourselves, so that Harvey Parish Church may be rendered safe to hold service therein. Accordingly, I told the people of Harvey that if they would raise $100 themselves, or even $50, that I would undertake to collect, get and give them $50 more. That is now being done. Much more will be necessary to carry on the work to completion ; hut it is thought that $150 judiciously expended now will arrest decay, ensure the safety of the building, and enable us to hold services and Sunday School therein, and so bear us on to the time when another effort, or efforts, can be made to render the work we have undertaken complete. All of the Mission Stations now estab- lished are, with one exception, well attended. Wc count 50 a i ■'^'ia i I "^idHVL.: I 1 . JJU ..Hi ', li 30 small congregation ; 60, 70 or 80 good ; 100 or 120, very good, and there have been times when we mustered as many as 200. As au illustration, the following represents the attendance and offertory at the three places where service was held last Sunday, June 22nd, viz. : Cil >■ Hopewell Hill, Attendance 80 Offertory $0 63 Riverside, " 60 " .. . 64 Harvey, , " 120 *' 56 Total »l 60 « <( 120 200 $1 83 '* One other phase of my work is worth mentioning. A large number of the Dissenters who, from novelty or curiosity attended our service in the first instance, have been retained, interested and familiarized with the Church services by means of the uniformly paged Prayer Book, which we have been using all along. These Prayer Books, which I take around with me in my wagon, are distributed amongst the congregation, who at the commencement of service are politely requested to stand up, told the page where they will find the order for Morning or Evening Prayer, and then, as the Service proceeds, they are likewise told the page where the Psalms, Collects, additional prayers, Chants, &c., may be found. I also make it a point to request them to repeat the Responses and the Creeds, which they always do, after me. Thus a large number of people all over the County are made familiar with the Church's forms of worship, as they are with their own Chapel services. It is not difficult to foresee or predict the ultimate result of this policy if persevered in. " To sum up. The result of the nme months' work is this : The guarantee required by the Diocesan Society has been signed ; six Mission points have been established, and services regularly held in all ; one Church has been repaired and made fit for service ; the nucleus of six choirs has been formed ; a large number of people; hitherto unacquainted with our Services, have been, and are still being, familiarized with them ; the young have been baptized ; those willing to be confirmed will probably more than double the number of Communicants in the County ; the sick have been visited ; the dead buried ; a number of Prayer BookSjHymn Books and Music Books have been purchased, and extensively used. *' We are now engaged in repairing a second consecrated Church, which bids fair to have a good congregation and a Sunday School, and so meet a need very much felt." ] : i , u<' t *\ ; ; Bathurst. — Rev.

'* This part of the old Parish has suffered much in the past because of the difficulty in serving it from Newcastle. For months at a time no services have been held. To certain por- tions of it no visits have been paid. This has been remedied, in a degree, for the past two years. There are those who in infancy were dedicated to the Master by our Ministry that now walk no more with us. There are others whose ideas are unsettled ; but not all have left their Spiritual Mother. There are those who still ' ask for the old paths and walk therein.' " I have now regular services at three Stations, viz. : — St. John's Church, Bale Des Vents ; the School Room, Lower Bale DesVents, and at Escuminac. I hope very soon to have services at Grahani's Mills, thus giving me four regular Stations. " Having been at work but a short time, I can hardly report our plans complete. Thus far the arrangement of work has been only experimental. We hope to note fair progress before the summer has ended." ..^ j^^^^. j..r,,;„'; , nns^ .ki v.^ v. ;■<. won -. Cambridge. — Rev. B.

The Sewing Circles, of which there are two, are doing great things, but I reserve further mention of them for a future Report. " The Envelope System, which has been long in operation here, has received new impetus from the presence of the Rev. Theodore Dowling amongst us, and we find that, with a little working on the part of those managing it, it is much better than any other method of raising money for Church purposes." Carleton. — Rev. Theodore E. Dowling reports contributions from Carleton and Fairville amounting to $120.07. Chatham. — Rev. D. Forsyth has enclosed the following report : " In presenting to the General Committee of the D. C. S. my Report of the work of the Church in Chatham during the past year, I am glad to be able to say that satisfactory progress has been made. Our efforts have been directed towards the securing of long-desired and much-needed improvements — the purchase of a new organ for St. Mary's Chapel, and the substitution of free and unappropriated seats for the objectionable system of rented pews. 1 am happy to say that the new organ is now being built by Messrs. Hook & Hastings, of Boston, and we hope to have it ready for use at the time of the Confirmation, to be held by the Lord Bishop in August next. The cost of the organ will be $1,275, more than half of which is now in hand, and the balance, it is hoped, will be made up by further contributions from the congregation in addition to those already and generously offered. " A Committee has also been appointed to procure the reseating of St. Mary's as soon as the necessary funds can be obtained. I report progress in these matters with the greatest satisfaction and thankfulness, and I look forward with much solicitation to their full accomplishment, on account of their instrumentality in the development of the true principles and conduct of Divine Worship. I am glad to be able to state that the Sunday free- will offerings are gradually increasing, and will, I hope, before long, altogether supersede the subscription list and pew-rents as sources of revenue for the maintenance of the worship of Almighty God. "St. Mary's Sunday School has been successfully carried oii through the year. The children, over arid above their Sunday offerings for the local wants of the School, have contributed liberally to the Shingwauk and Wawanosh homes in Algoma. I am thankful for the zealous labors of the ladies and gentlemen 3.} who devote theniHclves to Sunday Hchool work. A large and promLsing class of candidates for confirniation is now receiving instruction, in view of the early visit of the Lord Bishop. " In St. Paul's Parish Church the choir has heen removed from the west end gallery to the Hoor at the east end of the nave, and a reed organ as a substitute for the old pipe organ, which is out of repair, has been generously given by Cyharles Sargeant, Esquire. " I am glad to be able to report the usual readiness of my parishioners to contribute to the D. C'. H. As a general rule, 1 believe that the least able make it a point to set apart something of their means for this good object, and are glad to meet the annual call of the collectors. Thus, although the business depression has been severely felt in Chatham, and although the expense of the especial improvements before meniioned has been anticipated, the Parish has maintained its honorable position as being self-sustaining, and contributing to the General Purjwse Fund besides. " 1 desire, in conclusion, to express my thanks to those ladies who have so kindly collected the annual contributions. I record also with grateful satisfaction the unvarying kindness of my people, and I trust that their valued co-operation in the performance of the duties of the Church Militant may be rewarded with the final rest and glory of G>>d's triumphant Kingdom!" Contributions amount to $2()0.25. -Rev. J. H. S. Sweet has enclosed the following Dalhousie. Report : . , , " The services of the Church have been carried on as usual in this Mission, and, as a rule, have been well attended. At Camp- bellton — where, as the Society may remember, regular appointed services were only commenced when I took charge of the Mission — the congregations have been most encouraging, and many, who at first were rather shy of us, are now regular attendants. The services have been held fortnightly, with one or two exceptions only, throughout the year. These are at present held in the Methodist Chapel. £nbrts are now being most earnestly made to erect a Church building, and we hope to be in our own house of prayer before the winter — Laus Deo. We were stimulated to the immediate commencement of this building by the presence amongst us last September, of the Rev. Canon Medley and Geo. Schofield, Esq., who visited us, as well as other of the Northern Missions, as a deputation from the Society ;. they were accompanied by our worthy and energetic Rural Dean — the Rector of Ghat- ham. Having assembled the people together one week-day 3 i a ^4 evenilJ^^ wo Imil ti pleasant and cucoura^fiiig talk over tho proa- pects of the Church in C'anipbclltoii. All ajrrecd that a Church buil(llii;r «>t' our own was nior^t urgently needed. The jjreatest ohHtacle in the way of meeting this need neemed to be the means necessary to the purchase of a suitable piece of ground. This was, however, removed out of our way by the Deputation kindly promiHinji' to be responsible for part, if not all, of the funds required for the purpose. We have nt)W .secured a most eligible site on the main road between the village and station. Its costwilMK! 8200. Half of this is to be j)ai^ -rr n E 36 •' In Derby, (Uirinjjf the winter of 1H77-8, u Sewing' C'ircle waa estublwhed by the ladies of the oonj^reKUtion, whose lalM)r, supplemented very largely by donations from kind friends in Newcastle, Chatham and elsewhere, enabled them to hold in the month of August following u tea meeting, and fancy sale, the proceeds of which, together with subsequent private sales, amounted very nearly to 8400. This has been expended upon the Rectory, and, with 8100 granted by the J). C. S., has completed it free of debt. It is also a soun^e of some satisfaction that during the winter we have been able to purchase a small bell, costing in all about 8100, and weighing, exclusive of tongue, yoke and other fittings, 284 lbs. This was much needed, as the habit of coming to tlie servi«!es late on the part of some had become very (listressing both to the priest and people. In addition to this, the aisles of the Church have been carpeted with West India matting, and other slight improvements made in the interior, indication of a growing interest in everything pertaining to the neatness and beauty of Clod's sanctuary and the fitness of all the accessories of public worship. " In Blackville, too, we have not been altogether idle. A small harmonium procured for Trinity Church enables us to introduce the singing of God's praises into the service there, adding much to their interest, and to the sixe of the congregation. Through the liberality of S. P. C. K. in supplying books at half- price, a S. S. Library hiw been procured consisting of about 100 volumes; and, ere this report reaches you, I trust substantial progress will have been made towards placing beneath the Church a solid foundation of stone-work ; the present foundation consisting only of cedar piles driven into the earth, which, through age, are beginning to give way, much to the injury of the whole fabric. " It is to be feared that these calls upon the liberality of our people, coupled with the stringency of the times, will have so far taxed their willingness to contribute towards Church purposes as to affect their subscriptions to the D. C. S. But the collectors have not yet reported, and it is possible that the sum total may not fall far short of what it was last year. Another year, however, with returning prosperity and fewer demands upon the people's liberality, may more than compensate for any present deficiency." Dorchester — Rev. Richard Simonds writes as follows: ' ' " My Report from the Parish of Dorchester must be somewhat brief, inasmuch as the field of work is not large, and the work itself much like that which is performed in a small Town Parish. The services itwo on each Sunday and prayers on Wednesday Ga glad satis been Couf usua Conn an a 37 evenings) hftve been kept up with regularity. The Daily Prayers, brgan a few weeks ago, are very fairly attended, and, I trust, may yet find favor with all the people, "The Sunday congregations would, I think, be considerably larger, if the sittings in the (.'hurch were free. How soon they will be made free I cannot say, but an arrangement so sound in principle, and so much to be desired, must be patiently sought. " The attendance at the Sunday School has reached as high in number as ^yr). " I am gratified to be able to report an increa.se in the amount of contributions to the Society, chiefly owing to larger offertory collections, although a few zealous people have given more than last year. "The amount is SlGl./if}; so that it will be seen the Mission is now self-mpporiing, a fact I am glad to announce. It is not, however, thought desirable that the Parish should cea.se to nmke use, in future, of the valuable machinery of the Society in financial matters. " In addition to the contributions to the D. C\ S., there have been offertory collections made for the S. P. G. and for Algoma, amounting to about $31." Fredehicton. — Rev. G. Goodridge Roberts reports contribu- tions equal in amount to that of last year. ' ' '" '"' Gaoetown. — Rev. James Neales writes as follows : " I do not very often trouble you with a report, but would gladly write one every year, if I could always send you as satisfactory statements as I am able to make to-day. 1 have been much occupied myself lately in preparing candidates for Confirmation, of which we had a much larger number (35) thoii usual. After the administration of the Apostolic rite, twenty-one Communicants were added to our number. We have since lost an attached and consistent member of the Church, Mr. Charles W. Smith, who passed to the rest that remaineth to the people of God on the 14th June, at the ripe age of eighty-four. He. bequeath? a thousand dollars in aid of building a new Church in this Parish, and I greatly hope that the good work will be immediately set about. In compliance with the expressed wishes of the congregation, I have changed the time of evening service in the Parish Church from 3.30 to 6.30 p. m., which' has greatly increased the number of attendants, and enabled me to have service every Sunday afternoon in a back settlement, about six miles from here. " I am told that Gagetown is not considered to be a laborious Mission, which, if it be true, must certainly be my fault, as there 38 is plenty of work to be done, and last year I did travel on ministerial duty 2,672 miles, held 186 services in different parts of the Mission, paid 300 sick visits, and about as many pastoral ; and my earnest prayer is that I may be able to render efficient service in Christ's Church till I lay down my life and my work together." Contributions amount to ^5(),84. , _ ,/ Greenwich. — Rev. D. W. Pickett reports contributions to the amount of S50. Hampton. — Rev.

The Parish is indebted to the Revs. Roberts and Alexander for parochial work, and lor occasional services after the death of the late lamented Rector. " Owing to the kindness of Lieut. Colonel Maunsell, who acted as Reader, the services were quite regularly maintained, and I am tible. by his kind assistance, to hold services at Spring Hill wheji I am at other parts of my Parish. " I have endeavored to develop a spiritual li.e by an increase of Itoly Communion, and by week-day services. In addition to the traditional 13 Sunday celebration we have the Eucharist when saint days fall on Sunday or such days as have Proper Pretiice, and on important festivals such as Advent, Passion and Palm Sundays. Our Chancel Furniture has been increased by a credence bracket, the gift of Mr. Maunsell. In Upper and Central Kingsclear, where the Church was long neglected and Dissent grown strong, we ai*e gaining. I have sold quite a number of Prayer Books to Wesleyans, and that all may follow me, I announce the page whenever a change occurs. Some stiff Churchmen might object to this, but my object is to make Churchmen, not simply by preaching, though I by no means despise that, but by getting them to worship. My people have been very kind to me, and I thank them all for numerous gifts. When there has been so much generosity I cannot mention names. " I am sorry that our offerings have not been larger, but the mill is not running, and many of the men are working in other Parishes, while those who remain are very poor. We had a 39 course of lectures last winter for the benefit of St. Peter's Church, clearing 626.00." ^^ Contributions amount to $68.59, exclusive of the sum of $8.16 for Missions of the S. P. G. and Algoma. Kingston. — Rev. Hastings Wainwright reports contribution.* to the amount of $80. Maugerville. — Rev. G. H. Sterling has enclosed the follow- ing report : " The interest shown by Church people during the past year, in the Parishes over which I am placed to minister, has given me much cause for thankfulness. The last two yeans I sent in no report of the Avork done in my Mission, as it always seems to me like sounding one's own trumpet ; but as we hear that it is the only way that information can be given of the progress of Church work in the various Parishes to the General Committee, and the Board requests it, I will set aside my objec- tions and grant the request. '-^d^i^ " During last autumn a most successful Missionary meeting was held in the Parish of Maugerville ; most interesting addresses were delivered by the Revs. T. E. Dowling, Roberts, Shaw and Barber. The Clergymen who took part in the service were the Revs. \V. Jaffrey, McKiel and Mathers. The services were opened by a Processional and closed by a Recessional Hynni. " The morning after the Missionary meeting, a Communicants' meeting was held in the Church at a quarter to ten, and conducted by the zealous Priest of St. George's, Carleton, whose earnest address is yet fresh in the minds of my Communicants. At 11 a. m. and 7 p. m.. Thanksgiving Services for the abundant harvest were held, the Church being decorated with flowers, ferns and the various fruits of the earth. During the season of Advent I held a Wednesday and Friday evening service, an address being delivered at each service, and was thus enabled to bring before the people more of the Church's teaching ; the average attendance at those services being over 70. In January I procured a Mason & Hamlin organ for the Church at New- castle, where I now have a choir of over twenty. We use the last edition of H. A. & M. The congregations at this Church during the past year have been nearly double that of any previous year since I took charge of the Parish. The people are becoming much more willing to work for their Church, and to prove this I mention the following : During the month of April they went into the woods and cut a number of logs, and hauled them to a mill near the Church, which was kindly lent them for the purpose of cutting the logs into boards ; they also hauled 120 posts, and V 40 f; hewed them ; they spent a day in clearing up the Church and graveyard ; and last week a neat and substantial fence was put up ; the Parishioners gave two days' work towards its completion. There was no idle time spent, as 1 was upon the ground while they were at work. This fence cost us in money $3.25. In August the Church is to be re-clapboarded, as I have nearly money enough now collected from the people. This is the place where I hope soon to see a resident clergyman. " Our beloved Bishop held a Confirmation in February in the Parish of Maugerville. Those confirmed, with two exceptions, received the H. C. on the day of Confirmation. " During Lent I held a Special Service every week on Wednes- day evening, and during Holy Week I had service every evening, with a sermon, with one exception. The attendance at those services was much larger than last year. " During the coming month we purpose re-fencing the Church and graveyard ; the lumber is soon to be placed upon the ground, " Since Mr. Simonds left the Parish of Berton I have held a service, when in Maugerville, at Oromocto every Sunday after- noon ; have baptized one adult, two ini'ants, and had five burials. During the winter I had two adult baptisms in the Church at Maugerville. " I am happy to be able to report an increase of 640 from this Parish over that of last year. " The contributions are : To the S. P. G., $20.60 ; Algoma, $5.62 ; to the D. C. S., $84.22 ; total, $110.44. MoNCTON. — Rev. Edwyn 8. W. Pentreath reports as follows : " The past year has been full of encouragement and discourage- ment. I will state first the encouraging features. For the past year and a half we have been making a great eflfort to finish our Church. I am glad to say that the interior is now complete, and we had the pleasure, on October 9th, of welcoming the Bishop and eighteen of the Clergy at the consecration of St. George's Church, Seven persons were confirmed the evening before, two of whom I had recently baptized. In 1878 the large sum of $2,816 was raised in this Parish for Parish purposes. The Society will bear in mind that this was done by a Parish that has neither glebes, Church lands nor out-stations to assist it, and by a Church that can only seat 300 when packed, whose average congregation is about 150, none of whom are wealthy, and many of whom have been seriously affected by the recent reductions. " The Parish is indebted to the 'Willing Workers,' under the presidency of Mrs. Foot, for most valuable aid. This Society, since my last report, has paid for the seating of the Churcli, purchased standards for lighting the nave at a cost of not less than 41 $100 ; provided manilla matting for the aisles at a cost of $62 ; and presented a brass pulpit lamp, from J. & R. Lamb, New York, at a cost of $13. A white altar cloth, frontal and pulpit banner have been given by the ladies of the congregation, at a cost of about $60. The embroidery was done by Miss ^isson, of Fredericton. I have also to acknowledge a very handsome gilt alms bason, from Cox & Son, given by Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Macnab, who have removed permanently to Charlottetown. Last fall a heating apparatus was arranged to warm the Church by hot air, at a cost of $130. At the Easter meeting the Vestry unanimously agreed to increase my salary $100 per year. Moncton is an expensive place to live in, and though the present salary is below that of all the denominations in the place, it is as much as the Parish can afford at present. I am also pleased to report that, by the zeal of one or two ladies in the congregation, $200 have been spent on the Rectory. The roof of the kitchen was raised, and three additional rooms built, besides much other needed lepairs. I found the house scarcely habitable, cold, uncomfortable, and most inconvenient ; it is now warm and com- fortable, with eleven good rooms, all in good order. In five years we have spent not less than $1,000 on it, and in that time the increase of contributions to the stipend has been at the rate of $40 per year. I beg to state, therefore, that we have accom- plished, more last year than in any previous year of our history. '* But I now come to the discouragements. For the past six months the railway changes and reductions have disturbed and unsettled the whole town, which possesses no other branch of in- dustry. I have lost $100 per year off my pledge list, besides several Communicants and many faithful attendants. While there is not one dollar of debt on the Church, we have had a floating debt of $300. Our utmost efforts could only secure $200 towards this. Salaries have been largely reduced , and we feel the pressure in money matters as never before. I have abandoned all idea of finishing the tower this year, and from present appearances we shall find it difficult to meet our expenses this coming year, amounting to $800. The offertory has sensibly diminished, owing to removals and reductions ; and I regret to say that the strain upon our resourses for local purposes has been so great that I have failed to make my last year's collection, or this year's, for the D. C. 8. Our small congregation has been taxed to the utmost. We have no endowment, and only one congregation to draw from. I will do my best to make up the arrears, but in view of the fact that the past year we have raised such a large amount of money to complete our Church and free it from debt, that last year we relieved the society of $40, that this 42 year we are one of only two Parishes who will relieve the Society of that amount, while at the same time we are giving SlOO extra to the salary, I would respectfully ask the Society to consider our position favorably, and we will do what we can."

Shannon reports contributions to the amount of 620.50. ' -, , r; , Newoahtlk. — Rev. H. H. Barber reports as follows : ,. " In presenting my report of the work of this Parish during the past year to the D. C. Society, I am sorry to say that I cannot report quite a,s much progress at the end as I hoped to have been able to do at its beginning. Our contributions to the Society will, I am afraid, be not quite so large as last year ; but the depression in the lumber and general trade being so great, and so especially felt in a community where its prosperity depends almost entirely on the prices, in the lumber markets, at once accounts for this. " During the year I can thankfully report that some additions have been made to our Communicants' roll; our congregations are keeping up to the extent of Church accommodation, and I can perceive a deeper interest taken in all Church matters, which is a subject for nmch thankfulness. " I have nuich pleasure now in thanking the Society for the generous help it has given in the division of this formerly unwieldy Parish. Baie des Verts is now, in effect, a separate Mission, and I have no doubt that Rev. E. P. Flewelling, who is in charge of it, finds as much to do as one man has strength and time for. There is one other thing in connection with this subject I have much pleasure in recording here. At a meeting of the congregation, at which I was not present, it wai: decided that it would not be right that I should suffer the loss of $100 per annum from my stipend because of this division ; it was therefore unanimously resolved that this sum be added to the present amount contributed by them, and thus the deficiency made up to mc. " During the year I was for some time much troubled with my throat and head, and, at the doctor's command, was obliged to discontinue half of my regular work. I am thankful, however, to say that this trouble is now a thing of the past, and I am again able to resume my full duty. .^.:\ .u " I shall only be able to send $100 to the Society's General Fvnd ; which, together with tiie $16 for Algoma, ana $18 for the S. P. G., mak&s a total of $134." 43 New Denmark. — Rev. N. M. Hansen, has forwarded the fol- h)wing report : " Who is the good Samaritan? Perhaps no clergyman in the Diocese has a better opportunity than I, to see that our D. C. S. is doing the work of the good Samaritan. Why are many of my countrymen leaving their country ? For the sake of their salva- tion ? Alas ! many of them are not asking for it. Whether the Word of God and the Sacraments are to be found or not in the land to which they immigrate is of no consequence to a great number. And in how many instances those who have a desire for religious privileges are stripped by the thieves of the land in which they settle, with no shepherd to take care of them, in some Danish colonies of the U. S. where the Gospel is not preached. I know this statement to be true. I know of oiie place in which ' a righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul with their unlawful deeds,' and left them to settle among English people. Here the D. C. S. through the Ministry of the Church is pouring oil and wine in the wounds, and hence I call it the good Samaritan. I therefore love the D. C. S. and the Churcii to which she belongs, and whose work she is doing. And what I told my people from the pulpit at the last Missionary service, I beg permission to repeat to the D. C. S. You ask me who has the best doctrines — the English or the Danish Church ? My answer is : I see no difference. But I ask you, who shows the best record of works of Christian charity i The answer must be without hesitation : It is th Ohurch of P^ng- land. She is the good Samaritan ; she is the strong Christopher of the sacred legend, who is carrying Christ over the waters ; she is doing more for the Bible than all the branches of the Church Catholic. I have known this since I was a boy ten years old. T have, consequently, all my life long loved and esteemed thlii Church. " It is difficult for me to report about the work of my Mission. It is my opinion that the Church is constantly making progress here, and especially is the Sunday School in a good condition. The times are very hard, and, therefore, we have not yet got our Church completed. An old Churchman, resident a few miles from here, told me lately that in his lifetime, money in our part of the country has never been so scarce as now. It has, therefore, been impossible for me to bring the contribution higher than $20, or even the amount required by the Society." New Maryland. — Rev. Finlow Alexander writes as follows : " I am glad to report satisfactory progress in this Mission. In the past year the number of Communicants has been nearly doubled, and attendance at Divine Worship much increased. 44 Thrt)ugh the kindness and untiring efforts of my friend, Mr. James Cowie, the Hunday School also has greatly prospered. Commencing his labors two years ago with only four children, the School now numbers over thirty. Attendance is regular and punctual, and the fruit of Mr. Cowie's faithful work is seen in the intelligent and reverential behaviour of the children, both in School and at Church. Let me add that, save on one or two occasions, when the roads were impassable, Mr. Cowie has gone on foot to his charge, a distance of over five miles, every Sunday morning, since the School was established. I have, lastly, to express to him my gratitude for much kind assistance rendered, as Lay Reader, to myself. " In December last I presented to the Lord Bishop ten young people for Confirmation, nearly all of whom have become Com- municants. " The assessment on this Mission has been paid, quarterly, to the day, and I have every reason to hope that the annual ' house to house ' collection for D. C. S., which has not yet been taken up, will exceed that of previous years. " Contributions have also been freely forthcoming towards the painting of the Church, which necessary work will, I trust, be done as soon as fine weather sets in. " Since my last report I have received five members into the Church by Holy Baptism, and committed five also to the grave." Petersville. — Rev. Joseph Smith reports contributions to the amount of ^44.75. It has been the aim of the Parish, Mr. Smith writes, to lessen the debt on the Parsonage, for which purpose a considerable sum has been raised. He gratefully acknowledges many acts of kindness from his Parishioners during the year, and especially the presentation of valuable gifts on the 9th of January last. The financial statement for the year past is as follows : ,,,, . 'l To Parsonage |106 00 - .. ' D. C. S. Contributions 44 75 ',.,-' '.. ' Church purposes, local 38 67 , ! Foreign Missions 4 68 »''*'-' J Algoraa 3 10 Point Du Chene. — Rev. O. S. Newnham writes as follows : " Since the time when I took charge of the Parish in September last, the services have been regularly cenducted. The congrega- tions have been good, but the number of Communicants, in comparison with the congregation, appears to me small. " The Sunday School is in good working order, and the number of scholars has increased. 45 . " The Friday evening services have been well attended. " Various improvements have been made in the interior arrangements of the Church, viz., u new cabinet organ, choir seats, altar rails, at a cost of about SI 80. " At the Easter meeting the congregation decided, by unani- mous vote, to adopt the monthly envelope system for the collection of Parish assessments ; so far it has been tbund to work well." Contributions amount to $20.75. Petitcodiac and Salisbury. — Rev. Cuthbert Willis writes as follows : " At the time of making my report last year, I was in corres- pondence with several Clergymen in the United States, seeking work in this Diocese, which ended in my engaging the Kev. Mr. Horsfield as my assistant. After rendering me most ethcient aid for several mouths, much to the regret of myself and Parishioners, by whom he was much beloved, he was called away to take charge of a large and important Parish near Boston. Since his leaving me, I was fortunate enough to secure the assistance of the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, being yet unable myself to do more than a small share of the Sunday duties. I am glad to be able to report the opening of a new but small Church at PoUet River Station, which is half way between Salisbury and Petitcodiac. This little building was erected at a small cost, somewhat under $400, and is now opened for Divine Service every second Sunday. It is very satisfactory to find on all occasions a good congregation, and several candidates for Confirmation from the neighborhood have come forward for instruction, in order to be presented to the Bishop in September next. We hoi>e also to have this little Church painted on the outside by that time, and a neat fence put up around it. As we have had a very little outside help, perhaps some kind friends may be induced to give us some small contri- butions to enable us to do this very necessary work, and also procure a font. We are at present out of debt — thanks to a most liberal contribution from the Most Reverend the Metro- politan. " Our contributions are not yet complete, but I am sure they will exceed last year's amount." . „. ... Prince William and Dumfries. — Rev. LeB. W. Fowler writes as follows : " Last year [ was glad to be able to report an increase in the contribution to the Society. This year, I am sorry to ssay, there is a great decrease, owing partly to removals, but chiefly to the scarcity of money. m r, .'.t.r,nif;; •1^"^. f . 46 " Within a year I liave buried six Communicants, the memory of whom, especially of Mrs. Ellegood and Mrs. Edmundson, Mr. Kelly and Mr. ByrncH, aged servants of the Lord, will not soon pass away. ** kSomething ought to be tlone for the Church people of the Parish of Manners-Sutton. Although I have more to do in my own Mission than I can do well, I cannot allow these ' few sheep in the wilderness ' to be quite left without the ministrations of the Church, and so give them a monthly week-day service. Mr. Charles Lunnin, with the Bishop's license, read service for them every Sunday for some time, but these services arc now given up. " I am now giving more Sunday services to the Churches and fewer to the Stafiom than formerly. One Station, Poquiock, I have given up, after ministering there for two years, because, although every time I held service there, one of the Churches had to be closed. Still the people of Poquiock left the whole burden of my stipend upon the others, and contributed nothing towards it themselves. This seemed to me so unfair a course that I could no longer encourage the people in it. " It is with thankful heart I add that I think there are more signs of spiritual life among the Parishioners of Prince William and Dumfries now than twelve months since." - • , j , - .,> Contributions amount to $67.50. m ' QuEENSBURY. — Rcv. A. H. Wccks reports contributions to the amount of $75.60, and he writes as follows : " Nothing has occured in this Mission beyond the common trials and difficulties of a poor country Mission. Though the work is laborious and trying — I hope not unattended by Divine blessir^. As one result of my labor here, I may be permitted to mention that last summer I prepared for Confirmation a class containing a much larger number of candidates than had pre- sented themselves in this Mission before, at least for many years. " I have to report a sum for the general purposes of D. C. S. somewhat larger than last year. The Mission has also made strenuous exertions to pay up the arrears due to the Missionary, and has recovered some of the ground lost." ; ^ j . ; Ir , • . . « o RiCHiBUCTO. — This Parish has not yet been supplied with a successor to the late Rector, the Rev. N. A. Coster, whose death is deservedly lamented. The contributions reported for the Society are $29.65, f.part froa: $10.23 for the S. P. G. Missions and for Algoma. Richmond. — Rev. H. H. Neales writes as follows : " " In July last, after returning from St. John, my first work was to begin the preparation of candidates for Confirmation. The 47 Bishop came to is in October, and confirmed forty-three young people. The occasion was most memorable, and must have impressed itself upon the niiuda of our people generally, luune- diately following, a ten days' Parochial Mission was held at our Parish Church by the Key. Francis Partridge, with most satisfactory results. Would that many a Parish Priest could see his way clear to making use of this very effectual mode of carrying on the Church's welfare. " As one consequence of the ' Mission,' we have a ' Parish Guild,' in connection with which most successful Bible and Communicants' Classes, Secular Lectures, &c., have been carried on during the winter months. " The number of Communicants was increased since my last report from 78 to 115. A good deal of interest has been shown in Foreign Missions during the last few months. A deputation from the B. F. M. paid us a visit in the winter, which, I think, h'»s been very useful. " The ladies of the Sewing Society have succeeded in procuring a capital organ for St. John's Church, "besides aiding us in the building of the new Sunday School house, which is now finished. " When his Lordship the Bishop was here in October last he consecrated St. Paul's Church and burial ground at South Richmond. " Some of the people in this part of the Mission deserve nmcli credit for the zeal they have displayed in the work of the Church. Chief among them I would name Mr. John Nicholson, whose earnest support has been a great help and encourr-geraent to me. Among those who have been taken from us during the year we have to record the loss of two aged and much valued Communi- cants, Mrs. Currie and Mrs. Gentle. Their places cannot easily be filled. " I have received much personal kindness from the Parishioners generally during the past year, and trust that it is an earnest of love and harmony which should ever exist in the Church of Christ." KoTHESAY. — Rev. F. Partridge has enclosed the following report : " A deputation from the Board of Home Missions of the Diocese met the Vestry of this Parish a short time before the meeting of D. C. S., at the Rectory, Rothesay, with reference to the proposal of the Board that the Parish of Rothesay should sever its connection with the D. C. S., and be placed on the list of self-supporting Parishes. It was the general opinion of the Vestry that, as the Parish is practically self-supporting, subscribing to the general fund of the D. C. S. more than its 48 annual grant, no benefit could be derived from the mere fact of severing itw connection with the D. (J. H. On the other hand, it was argued that, as the interest in the work and objects of the D. C. S. is steadily inci easing in the Parish, and as the use of the machinery of the Board in the collection and distribution of the funds raised towards the exi)enses of the Parish is of great assistance, both the Hociety and Parish would probably be the losers by the proposed se[)aration. It was further suggested by the Vestry that the Parish of Rothesay, together with other Parishes in similar circumstances, might be fairly placed upon a separate list in making the D. C. S. returns to the venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, so that it might be seen that, although the Parish remains for the present upon the list of Parishes receiving aid from the Board, it still practically supports itself. *' I have to report that the work of the Church in the Parish is steadily progressing. On the 10th of October last a Confirmation was held in St. Paul's Church, Kothesay, by the Metropolitan, when forty candidates were presented for the Apostolic rite of laying on of hands. " Tlie Guild of St. Luke is doing a good work in the Gondola Point district by systematically instructing members of the Church in the doctrines and history of the Church of England, as well as in the advancement of its members in the spiritual life, and in regular intercession for the Church at large, and the work of the Parish. Last fall St. Luke's Church was repaired and painted^ inside and out, at a cost of $200, which was raised, in a great measure, through the unceasing exertions of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Matthew, to whose zeal and energy the Parish 19 greatly indebted, and which is hereby most thankfully acknowledged. " The Ladies' Sewing Society of Rothesay, subsequent to the last meeting of D. C. S., held a sale of useful and ornamental articles, which realized the handsome sum of 8300. The amount was handed over to the Vestry Clerk, C. H. Fairweather, Esq., to be applied to the reduction of the debt on the Parsonage. On July, 16th iust., a similar sale was held, at which $200 was raised, $100 of which has been placed in the bank as a reserve fund, and $100 was given to Mr. Fairweather in further reduction of the Parish debt. The Society has shown a zeal and pei^e- verance which is worthy of all praise, and might well be imitated by others. Mrs. S. 8. Hall is President, and Mrs. L. J. Almon Secretary-Treasurer. *• Upwards of fifty names have been added to the roll of Com- municants duritig tne past year. ' " We humbly hope and believe that the bleming of God has rested upon the work sought to be carried on in the Parish, and 49 pray that the Great Lord of the Vineyard may Htill vouchsafe to vi.sit our efforts with abundant succjoss. • s , " The whole amount raised in the Parish during the year for all purposes is about $2,150. Contributions to D. C. ^. about the same as last year." Saokvh.le. — Rev. Richard J. Uniacke reports contributions to the amount of $51.18, and reports as follows : '* Since the beginning of the year the Holy Communion has been administered once a month in each Church — the number of Communicants at Sackville varying from eleven to sixteen ; at Wcstcock from five to ten. " I have admitted six infants to Baptism since the year opened ; the number would have been greater had I encouraged the wish of the parents to have their children baptized at home. They are most reluctant to bring them to Church. I have only been able to baptize five in the Church hitherto. " The attendance at the Westcock Sunday School Ls very good, the number being sixty. Of course many of the children are outsiders. This School does not continue through the winter. At Sackville the number on the book is forty, while thirty-five is the average attendance. There are six Teachers at Sackville ; seven at Westcock. . " At Sackville a Sunday School house is being erected through the zeal and perserverancc of the Superintendent, Mr. "W. Cogs- well. It will be completed by the time the Bishop comes in September. " I have catechised the School at Sackville once a month since taking charge of the Parish, and am doing the same with the other School. ..^ / , " With Lent, Confirmation Classes were opened here and at Westcock — ^fortnightly in each place. These continue, preceded by the shortened form of Churcn sen^ice for the benefit of others. During Lent I had a service in addition, making two a week. Since December Slst I have paid 130 visits ; 4 funerals. ** The number of feopiwed w«m6er«of the Church in the Parish I find does not exceed 220. " The income from glebe lands, from April 1878 to 1879, has been $211. ** I have not kept an account of the congregations lately, but the attendance has not been so good as at the first." St. Andrews and CflAMC6oK.~Mr^ G. D. Street reports contributions from St. Andrews $165.40 ; Ghamcook, $60.06 ; totel, $226.46. 4 50 Rt. G>X)K(»e ani> Pennfieli). — Utiv. UaimUl K. Hiuith writes m followH : " TimoH gruduuUy growing Inirdur ; people more unable and unwilling to keep un the Chureli. Hard times prevail, but many unnetiesnarily aaojjt the ' cry' in order to avoid doing their duty. " Every dollar withheld, in many awen, m looked upon m a dollar saved. If the Church's privileges and the Church's services could only bo had without money, we would succeed admirably. In these times of depression people begin to retrench in Divine matters first, and in worldly things last, or not at all. And still our pastoral record, in other respects, is good. Thirty-four jwr- sons have been baptized since our Society last met, twelve of whom were adults ; forty-six were confirmed in the Mission in October last ; forty-four new Communicants have been added to our list. Our services have been well attended, three times on the Sunday, and, comparatively speaking, our week-day services also ; but when we come to money, the root of all evil, and still of much good, the tune is set up in a different key I People who are taxed heavily for education are willing to pay little or nothing for their religion. And often those who enjoy many of the com- forts of life, and, perhaps, some of its luxuries, will pay neither pew rent nor Parson ! "1 have not yet made my collection for the D. C. 8., as I know, that just now, I would get almost nothing, but will do what I can after my return home, and hope to realize $100 or upwards." 'Vy-'- ■> St. David and St. Patrick. — Rev. J. W. Millidge writes as follows: I, . ,j..> .,,..1,^ "I took charge of this Mission at the beginning of the present year ; and though before entering upon my duties I received somewhat gloomy accounts of my prospective Mission, I am happy to say that these prognostications have not altogether been fulfilled. I was received with very great kindness by the Parishioners, who were much pleased to have a resident Mission- ary once more among them. 'The constant changes of Clergymen in charge of this Mission has had anything but a beneficial influence upon the minds of the people, and, as a consequence, attachment to Church principles has become somewhat weakened. I trust, however, that by the Holy Spirit's aid and blessing we may once more see flourishing and crowded congregations at the servicesi and numerous attendants at the table of our Blessed Lord. I feel compelled to repeat the words of one of my pre- decessors : * The Parish has been greatly weakened by many of 51 our mortt promiHing men moving away to ( -alitbrnia and j'IhcwIuto.' ThiH (Mnigration still continues, but wc hofU! that many M' t\\vu\ will in time return, and make homes for themHelvei4 in their native laud. I have re-commenced Dervices at St. David's Kidge, where they had been omitted for sonic years. I have also commenced services at Whittier Uidgc, where they had never before been held.

" At Tay Creek there are also seme encouraging things to record. The Church has been thoroughly repaired, placed upon a stone foundation, newly painted, the walls stained within, and several minor repairs and improvements effected. " In addition to my two Churches, services are held at five Stations, with good and attentive congregations in every instance.

J. H. Talbot reports contributions equal to the amount of last year. Sussex. — Rev. Canon Medley reports contributions to the amount of about $200. Upham. — Rev. S. J. Hanford writes as follows : ' " " I am sorry to report that I have never before set aboutthe col- lecting for the D. C. 8. with more painful feelings of the difficulty of raising money for the Society ; but as the complaint of * hard times ' is so universal, I need say no more. At the same time I am thankful to report that, by going over all the ground, and taking all I can get, I shall be able to bring the sum up xo about $109.13. " The serious business depression, witnessed in every direction, clearly enforces the lesson for self-denial, and mutual patience and forbearance, and a closer walk with God, well satisfied that we are in the hands of Him who * does not willingly afflict the children of men,' " Waterford. &c. — Rev. John Lockward has forwarded the following report : " I have now not only to send you my first report, but also the first report from the Mission of Waterford and Card well. Under these circumstances I cannot make any comparisons from know- ledge of previous years, nor have I any data on hand to enable me to do so. I believe, however, that I am fully justified in reporting that the desire for the Church's services has greatly increased, and an earnest wish is manifested to have the usuql services as regularly and as frequently, at least, as during the past year. This is apparent in every part of this large and somewhat awkwardly arranged Mission. But, whilst there is much reason to be thankful, and to take courage from this general fact, there is another fact which may considerably out weigh the other. There is a lack of the necessary substantial recognition of the value of the Church's ministrations. As a whole, the Miasion of Waterford and Cardwell has, up to date, not paid in the full amount of its quota towards the salary of the Missionary. Less, however, than one-fourth of the amount remains due, and I have hopes that the deficit will soon be reduced to $20 or less. I think in this connection it must be remembered that the past year has been one of general and wide-spread depression in business, • i\i ■■ has been blessing, -■nJ \iX: ;ributions IS to the it the col- difficulty of * hard ne time I )und, and im up \o direction, patience stied that ifflict the t also the .

It is to be hoped that whatever the deficit might eventually or really be, the B. H. M. will not feel obliged to put their rule 4 g. in operation. I intend addressing a letter to the Secretary of the Board oi Home Missions. " As this Mission consists of four separate and independent parts, viz.: (1) Parish of Waterford, (2) Parish of Cardwell and (3) part of the Parish of Sussex, all in the County of King's, with (4) Mechanics' Settlement in the Parish of Elgin, Albert County, I had better report of each part in order. ' . i ./ " 1. ^VaterJord. — This is the head centre or chief part of tlie Mission. I have been enabled to have regular Sunday services every alternate Sunday, and at alternate times of the day during the year in this Parish. In all, I held 26 Sunday services with 5 celebrations of the Holy Communion, and 13 week-day services. The attendance on Sundays has raised from 3 to 85, giving an average attendance of 47. As a rule, I find parents very averse to bringing their children to Church for public Baptism, and out of 10 baptisms in this Parish only 2 were public baptisms. There are now 9 infants awaiting Baptism, some few of whom, I trust, may receive that sacrament before the congregation. The roll of Communicants is very small. The largest attendance at the Blessed Sacrament was 9 on the day when I had a semi-annual collection for the D. C. S. There were only 30 Communions made at the five celebrations, including the Celebrant. There have been only 4 deaths among our members in the Parish during the past year — 2 were infants, one an elderly woman, and the other a farmer, who was killed instantly by being thrown from his wagon. This was indeed a very sad case, and has called forth a great deal of sympathy for the bereaved family. The deceased has left a wife and nine children, the eldest boy not being yet nine years old. I regret not to be able to report any marriages. The amount required from this Mission towards the support of a Missionary was apportioned to the several parts thereof before I took charge. The Parish of Waterford not only promised to raise its share, but has even done a little better. Hence it might surely hope to receive consideration in what arrangements soever might be made for next year. I have had two or three meetings of the chief members of the congregation in reference to the future of the Mission • . I have had a Confirmation Class in this Parish since October last, and hope to be able to present several * to the Bishop to be confirmed by him ' as soon I 66 as his Lordship can visit the Parish for the purpose. The Church people of Waterford are anxious to have Sunday Services more frequent than on alternate Sundays, and, in endeavoring to raise the increased amount for the D. C. S., they hope to be able to have increased Sunday Services. This Parish does, indeed, seem to offer a fair chance for a centre of Church work, but with whatever other Parishes associated, the Mission will require the largest consideration and help from the D. C S. for some years to come. , ,, ...i' . . ,;,.;^ " 2. Cardwell. — This seems the most important part of this Mission. There is a Church here, as well as at Waterford, but both Churches are but scantily provided with furniture and all things necessary for the services of the House of the Lord. . . . During the winter I arranged to visit this place and Mechanics' Settlement every fourth Sunday instead of every alternate Sundajr, as during the summer. Thus the number of Sunday Services m these two places will be less than in the other two. The number of Sunday Services in this part of the Mission during the year has been 22, with a varied attendance from 16 to 53, giving an average attendance of 30. There have been no marriages and no funerals here since I took charge, and but two baptisms, which were both public baptisms. I had five celebrations of Holy Communion in this Church, when in all only 38 Communions were made, including the Celebrant, each time. The attendance varied from four to ten " 3, New Line of Road, a part of the Parish of Sussex. I have services in this place in the School house of the District. The services here are on the same Sunday as at Waterford, but owing to three different circumstances there have not been quite as many Sunday services here as at Waterford The number of Sunday services held at this place during the past year is 23, with an average attendance of 30 ; the attend- ance varied from 13 to 63. No marriages and no celebrations of Holy Communion in this part of the Mission, and only six pri- vate baptisms and one funeral. I believe the Presbyterian Min- ister is about to increase his number of seryices at this station, following up our increased services. «..,., tr " 4. Mechanics' Settlement. — This is the most distant part of this Mission, requiring a drive of five hours to reach the Church which is being built there. The Sunday services here have been far less frequent and more interrupted by the storms of winter than in the other places. I have held 17 Sunday services here, with un average attendance of 25 — ^the largest attendance being 57 «nd the smallest 6 , There have been no marriages, no funerals and no celebrations of Holy Communion there. I have 57 to hold service in a Methodist meeting house, where frequent Methodist services are held. Indeed, at present there are but few Church people in the neighborhood ; yet I think if we could get a Church there fairly well fitted and furnished for the due performance of the services of our Church, the attendance would be larger and a better interest be aroused. There is a Church nearly about half completed, in a very beautiful as well as convenient locality. It is the dearest wish of our people to have this Church completed at as early a date as possible. With this view, I have been trying to raise funds both hither and thither, and have to record with many thanks that the ever- helping society in such cases — the S. P. C. K. — has kindly pro- mised us £25 stg. under its usual conditions. I believe as much more will be required. A late resident in that locality, aud now living in Sussex, has promised a Font; and the Rev. Andrew Gray of Boston has promised an Altar. I believe there have been other offers made which will hold good till required, and then made good. The building is only boarded in and shingled. " I regret to say that I did not see any hope of getting sub- scriptions this year for the general purposes of the I). C. S., as the amount required for the Missionary's salary could not be raised. I have, however, to report three semi-annual collections amounting to $11.41, with an additional $2.50, making in all $13.91 for the general purposes of the D. C. 8. I have also to return $1<5.85 for S. P. G. and $10.85 for V/. and O. Fund. It may not be out of place, and to me a pleasure, to record here the great personal kindness I have received in every part of my Mission. Myself and my horse have always been well and kindly received and treated. I trust this return, in its parts, will meet with the requirements, and that it might show that whilst there is much yet to be done there is some little being done." '" ^ •^* * ' Weldford. — Rev. W. B. Armstrong reports contributions to the amount of $50, exclusive of the sum of $11 for Algoma and the S. P. G. Missions. He writes as follows : '"•■''' ' ' ' -'!■'-'' "This year has been much the same as its i)redecessors in regard to general Mission work. Services have been regularly held, except in outlying Missions, which, from the nature of the roads and the weather, it has been impossible always to attend. " The chief event that has occurred during the past year has been the death of the Rev. N. A. Coster, the late Rector of Richibucto, who has been during all the time of his Rectorship — some twentv years — more or l^s connected with the Parish of Weldford. As Assistant in the Parish of Richibucto, and living 58 there during the last three years, I was brought a good deal in contact with him, and must here bear witness to his unvarying courtesy and kindness towards myself. It was my privilege to be with him during his last sickness, and as throughout his long ministry he never had a Clergyman within miles of him, he seemed particularly at that time to appreciate the company of a clerical brother. His patience and resignation under extreme pain was wonderful, and his consideration and kindness to all who surrounded his bedside were very marked. But it was his unswerving trust and clear faith that were most remarkable. During his lifetime it has been remarked that, in repeating the Te Deum in the service, he laid peculiar emphasis on the last versicle, and the same words he repeated not long before his decease with great feeling : ' Lord in Thee have I trusted, let me never be confounded' Death did not approach him unawares, but, like a faithful soldier of the Cross, he was ready, watching at his post. " The death of the late Rector of Richibucto will, of course, make a change in the Church affairs of both that Parish and of Weldford. Since that event, which took place in February last, I have had charge of both Parishes, but have found it was impossible to work them satisfactorily. Between my fortnightly services at Weldford, persons have become sick, died and were buried before I knew of the fact — as the roads or the weather were so bad that it was impossible to send a message ab^ut twenty miles to Richibucto. The only plan, therefore, appears to be that of having a Clergyman in each Parish. It is doubtful whether Weldford can raise the amount which the Board of Home Missions has assessed them ; but a canvass is now being made to see what can be done towards the support of a resident Clergyman in the Parish. At the same time the Parishioners feel much indebted to the Board for the liberal grant which they have offered for another year. It is to be hoped that the Richi- bucto Branch Railroad, which is now under way, may be the means of circulating a little more money in the County of Kent, and so render easier the support of the ministrations of our Church." , ^ . . Kit- ,1 ,ij 'VJjj; 1><51 Westfield. — Rev. E. S. Woodman writes as follows: Mni ** My collections for the Diocesan Church Society are not vet completed, but I hope to send nearly the same amount as tfjat of last year. " I am pleased to report that we were enabled last autumn to finish the little Mission Church at Land's End, with the excep- tion of the seats. 59 " 111 response to a circular addressed to the friends of Home Missions, over $60 were received, and our thanks are due to Mr. G. Herbert Lee and the Editor of the Telearaph for the interest they took in making our needs known in the city. A generous grant of £20 from the Venerable Society for Promoting Chris- tian Knowledge greatly assisted the work. (. r 1 .." "The serv'^es at the Land's End Church are well attenaed, and .''

WiCKLOw. — Rev. J. E. Flewelling reports as follows : " >/ " I have nothing of general interest to report. , , " There are many, many things which transpire in my Mission which encourage me, but which might appear trivial to many if related. I therefore refrain from mentioning particularly the f^reat kindness of individuals to myself and family. As some- thing of general interest, I might say that His Lordship the Bishop, out of his kindness to me and to show his interest in our Church work, has given a handsome carpet for the chancel of St. Barnabas' Church, for which the people and missionary are truly grateful. May it have the effect, which His Lordship intended no doubt, of stirring us up to greater exertions in our missionary work. " On St. Barnabas' Day a Missionary Meeting was held in the Church. Owing to great rain, only one clergyman succeeded in getting here, viz. : Rev. R. M. Edwards, M. A., Rector of Kings- clear, who had to travel by train over seventy miles. He gave us a very interesting address on * The "World indebted to the Church.' " I have been working in this Mission for four years, and I feel as deep an interest in my work, aye deeper, than when I first began. This is due mainly to the fact that the people have seconded my efforts nobly in every praiseworthy undertaking." Contributions amount to 830. Westmorland. — Rev. Donald M. Bliss will remit to the Treasurer the contributions, when they are made ? A new Church has been biegun in the Parish,, and, with difliculty, funds will be procured to' finish it. 60 i « Woodstock. — Rev. Thomas Neales writes as follows : " As the Secretary of the Board of Home Missions will inform the Society, thb Parish has agreed to take its place among the self-supporting Parishes. On looking back we may, 1 think, find reason lor congratulating ourselves, as well as the Society, upon this step. " In 1871 (eight years ago) this Parish received from the 8. P. G., and through the D. C. 8., the large sum of $735 as the amount of annual support for the Rector, the Parish itself contributing only about S200. Since then the grants from the D. C. 8. have been gradually diminishing, and the contributions in the Parish increasing in proportion, and, if all is well, this year the parish will contribute $800 to the support of its Rectoi*, and receive no aid from the D. C 8. And this is only as it should be. ** In withdrawing any claim upon the Society's funds, we can- not but express our gratitude for the kind consideration which the Society has ever shown this Parish, and we hope to evince a continued interest in its future work by helping it, as we can, to carry out its first and chief object, giving ' aid to new and poor Missions.' "In March last, Mr. W. J. Wilkinson, who had faithfully served in the capacity of Lay Reader, left us to be ordained and enter upon other and more responsible work. I have since, however, had the valuable assistance of the Rev. Frederick Towers, who, I am sorry to say, is to leave us in July to take charge of a neighboring Mission. We have had for the year past a Sewing Circle again in operation, at which the faithful women of the Church are working in good earnest to raise funds for the rebuilding of St. Luke's Church — an object which is beginning to enlist the interest of the whole Parish. I cannot but acknowledge the ever-ready assistance afforded me by both the Church War- dens and other members of the Church in every needful work. ** The congregation of Jacksontown have just completed a neat fence around the Church. They have commenced a fund for a new organ, and when that is paid for, a new Church is in view. " Contributions from Woodstock and out-Stations to general purposes are $106.52, $40 of which is given by J. D. KeWhum, Esq., who has become a life member of the Society." , . From the foregoing reports, it will be observed that the Parishes or Missions have never been so well supplied. More work has been done during the past year than in any like period before. For this the Society cannot be sufficiently grateful. The past year has been marked by the death of three of the older clergy. The Rev. Abraham Wood waa among the Mis- to 61 eionarias sent out by the Venerable S. P. G. in the early settle- ment of this country. A long period of active work was closed by a few years of retirement. His memory is lovingly cherished by very many in that extensive Mission where the chief portion of his life was spent in the service of his blessed Master. The Rev. N. A. Coster, late Rector of Richibucto, has been called to " enter into his rest." He was the last surviving of three brothers (one, the late Archdeacon) whose work has marked the history of the Church in this Diocese. Almost to the last he was permitted to continue his labors, when he calmly resigned himself into the hands of his Lord and Saviour, i ,. Yet another well remembered name must be inscribed in the records of the Society — that of the Rev. Canon HaiTison, late Rector of St. Luke, Portland. He was for many years a sub- scriber to the Society, and its proceedings were regarded by him with great interest. For several years before his death Mr. Harrison was hindered from active labor by severe and trying illness. By the work of previous years, personal influence and warm sympathy, he gained a great influence over a large com- munity, where his name and memory are lovingly regarded. Once a year the Church throughout the world is called on to unite in prayer for the cause of Missions. The members of the Church may well be directed to look beyond the limits of the Diocese, and make their prayers and their offerings for Missions to the heathen, or for aid in that good work going on in Algoma, the Missionary Diocese of this Dominion. At the same time it should be distinctly borne in mind that this Society has a right to claim the earnest and united prayers of all members of the Church in its present work, its probable difficulties, its future course of usefulness, in which all must depend upon that Divine blessing which has thus far evidently upheld it. ■tl .a :> ,.nu{^!:ihn>iii > .:i *; t li.iSiD.T.M -.■i.mO.

To the Bight Reverend The Lord Bishop and the General Committee of the Diocesan Church Society : The Board of Home Missions submit the follomng Report : During the past year only three alterations have been made in the Grants adopted by the General Committee last July, viz. : Dalhousie. — The grant to this Mission was increased $20 to defray the expense of services to the Balmoral Settlement; the people there being quite unable to contribute. Point DuChene. — The amount required for this Mission was reduced $60, and a like sum was added to the grant. WBliDFORD. — This grant was referred by the General Committee to the Board for furtiier consideration. After a deputation had visited the Mission it was decided to let the grant remain for this year as it had been in 1877, $450 from the D. G. S. and $290 from the Mission, The following New Grants have been made during the year : Baie desVents. — This Mission up to the present year formed part of the Mission of Newcastle. The great distance at which the people lived from the Rector of Newcastle, and the growing importance of the stations of Baie desVents, Baie desVents Village and Escuminac which form the present Mission were the principal reasons that induced the Board to make a grant of $400 upon conoition of a contribution of $300 by the people. St. David.— In October last the Board placed $150 at the disposal of His Lordship the Bishop to meet the expense of occasional services during the year in this Mission. Of this sum $115 was paid before the Rev. J. W. Millidge took charge of the Mission. RiCHiBUCTO. — This Mission having become vacant bv the death of the Reverend N. A. Coster, an application was made to the ^oard for a grant. The late Rector received JEIOO stg. from the S. P. G. ; the D. C. S. did not make any grant during his lifetime. . The Board granted $240 upon condition of a contribution of $400 from Richibucto and Kingston, which places will form the Mission. There is $120 income from trust fund held for this Mission, so that the total stipend is $760. No part of the grant has been drawn to the present date as the Mission is still vacant. Canterbury. — The Reverend Mr. Hartin having -nplied to the Lord Bishop for a pension from the Incapacitated and Agea Clergy Fund, and having placed his resignation of the Mission of Canterbury in the hands of His Lordship, the Board recommended the Executive Committee to make a grant of $200 to Mr. Hartin from that fund. This grant has been made. The Board also obtained the concurrence of the Executive Committee in a recommendation of a further grant of $200 per annum to Mr. Hartin from the General Purposes Fund of the Society. The Board recommend the Greneral Committee to authorize the payment of $75 for the passage of a Divinity Student from England to this Diocese, such expense being a charge against the S. P. G. grant under the rules of that Society. Divinity Scholarship Fund.— A grant of $60 has been made to Mr. James Cowie from the income of this fund which is now under the control of the Board, subject to the approval of the Lord Bishop. 67 le in the Grants ^as reduced $60, the death of the Deputation Visits. — During the year deputations from the Board have I been sent to the foUowine Missions: — Johnston, Weldfoi-d, Bichibucto, Derby, Hhickville, Baie des Vents, Dalhousie, Campbellton, Petersville, ! Petitcodiac and Campobello. Tlie Mission of Canterbury has been enlarged by the addition to it of I McAdam Station, and of Benton formerly attached to Woodstock, but which will be more easily served from Canterbury. The Lord Bishop having appointed the Reverend George Love, Missionary in Albert, the Board have great plejisure in slating tliat the Services of the Church of England I are now provided for in every County in the Diocese. Thin being the year in which according to the practice of the Society : a general revision of the Schedule of Grants should be made, the Boar^ felt the necessity for obtaining all the reliable information that could be had as to the resources of each Mission. To this end a return has been asked from every Mission aided by the Society Jis follows : 1st. The \ names of professed Church people and also of regular attendants at the Ser- vices. 2d. Their assessed valuation, 3d, Tlie present annual contribution of each to the Missionary stipend. This return has been received from a large majority of Missions, but is not yet complete. In view of the inequalities that appear to exist in the present assessments, and also in consideration of the state of the times, the Board recommends that no material change be made in the Schedule for next year; it being understood that these returns shall be completed and an entire revision of the Schedule made for the following year. As the S. P. G. has given notice of a reduction of $500 in the grant to the Dioceses for 1880, and tis the Treasurer's report shews a deficiency of nearly $1500 for the past year, it is evident that a considerable increase in the total assessments must soon be made. It is hoped that great exertions will he made in every Mission to prepare for this. As one means of increasing the contributions and lessening the difficulties of collection the Board recom- mend that weekly offerings be substituted for yearly subscriptions wherever that is practicable. The weekly offerings upon the envelope system has been found to work well in many parts of the Diocese where it has been tried during the past year. At tlie request of the Board, His Lordship the Bishop issued a pastoral letterin February lastsettingforththe probable position and prospects ofthe Society at the close of the fiscal year, and asking for an earnest and generous effort in support of the Missionary work of the Diocese. The Board are now able to report subscriptions and collections received for last year $6700, lieing an increase of $600 on the previous year. For the purpose of avoiding difficulties that arise from sending to the Treasurer receipts in- stead of money in settlement of the parochial assessments, the Board have instructed the Treasurer to adhere to the rule of the Society in the future, and only accept receipts for produce, requiring all cash payments to be made to him and not to the Missionary. During the past year the Board appealed to the Missions of Chatham, Dorchester, Rothesay and Woodstock to take their places with other Missions in the Diocese that do not receive any grant from the Society. The Board now report that Woodstock has relinquished the grant from this date, and the question is still under consideration as to whether the others shall take the same position in July, 1880. Many of the older Missions have been receiving aid for so much longer time than the S. P. G. rules allow, that they must very soon be prepared to trust to their owrt resources. .1 . 68 The estimate of income and expenditure, with the scliedule of |;rant8 recommended for next year, and the returns, correspondence and minutes of business transacted by the Board during the past year, accompany this report.

' i • ' On motion of the Secretary, it was resolved unanimously that the best thanks of the Society be tendered to the members of Victoria Lodge, No. 13, 1. O. O. F. for the use of their Hall tor the late meetings, wholly free of charge. Mr. J. F. Robertson, from the Committee appointed last year with reference to a special provision for certain widows of the Clergy, presented a Report which he read. On motion of Mr. Sturdee it was resolved that the same be received, and the recom- mendations contained therein be referred to the Executive Com- mittee, at its next meeting. The Committee appointed at the last Session of the General Committee of the Diocesan Church Society to obtain subscriptions for making a provision for the Widows of the Clergy who have no claims on the present Widows and Orphans Fund, in order to pay to each Widow the sum of one hundred dollars per annum, and that the funds so collected for this special purpose be placed at the disposal of the Executive Committee for distribution, beg to submit the following Report : That they have duly considered the matter, and have been compelled to come to the conclusion, that under present circumstances it is impracticable to make a collection of any material amount, in aid of this 8))ecial object. At the same time they are unwilling to allow the matter entirely to drop. It is a questioo, which presses forcibly upon the consideration of the Church at large. ' *'; .!!!.-i""t i 74 The tiofle of tho«e Widows whose husbands have been unable, from what- ever circumstances, to pav their yearly premiums, or who may hi^ve been unable to obtain medical certificates of sound health, are probably those who are most in need of assiHtance. And it appears to be a hardship that the families of men who have given all their faculties and energies to the work of the Church, or who have been perhaps called away, in the matur- ity of their powers, but who have not been able to take advantage of the benefits of the General Widows' and Orphans' Fund should be left to charity or suHcr. It might be advisable that at some time of the year (say on the drat Sun- day in September), when the general collections for D. C. S. are not being marie, the Clergy should be requested to tjike up a special collection for this fund. Amount of sulisoriptions reported $162 00. Your Committee would further recommend that a Standing Committee of the D. C. S. be appointed to further the interests of this Special Fund. Respectfully submitted, • JAMES F. ROBERTSON, Chairman. GEO. R. PARKIN. T. W. DANIEL.

A special catalogue of new publications, with a short descripticm of the same, was prepared in February, and 300 copies have been circulated throughout the Diocese. The Depository having been changed from time to time into difl'erent stores since 1874 has necessarily suffered, but the Committee feel gratified to be able to state tiiat tiie remittances of the Trciisurer for the past year compare favorably with those from other Colonial Dioceses, and that the condition of the stock is satisfactory.

"As one means of increasing the Contributions and lessening the difficulties of collection, the Board recommend that Weekly Offisrings be^substituted for yearly subscription, wherever practicable. " The weekly offering, upon the Envelope System, has been found to work well in many parts of the Diocese where it has been tried during the past vear." — Extract from the Annual Report of the Board of Home ilfission.-t, 1879.' The first step towards the adoption of this system in a Parish is to a.scer- tain from all the members of the Congregation what sum they are willing to contribute at the weekly Offertory ; and this being done — 1. Pledges will be received from the Parishioners for a fixed weekly sum, from one cent to one dollar and upwards, to be given in an envelope at the Service on each Sunday. 2. A package of envelopes will be given to each contributor, printed with blanks for name and amount of offering. 3. The Trea.surer will enter the amount thus received each week, to the credit of each contributor, in a book to be kept exclusively for this purpose. 4. A stated meeting of the Vestry or Parisnioners will be held quarterly ; at which meeting the Trea.surer will report all subscriptions in arrears, and at the close of the Parish year will also present all the last year's accounts of the Parish, which will then be audited and settled. 14:3 By tlu' above plan, the t'ollowinR olijocts art' Mnii){ht to Iw acooninlishwl : 1.
