That Congregations, already organized, and not in connec- tion with this Church, which have been wont to use Instrumental Music as an aid in the Service of Praise, may be received into this Church without giving up such use of Instruments. 2. That congregations to be hereafter organized, may be per- mitted to use Instruments as aids in the Service of Praise, pro- vided that intin:ation of such intention has been given at the time of the organization of such congregations. 3. That Kirk Sessions of congregations already in this Church may introduce an Instrument when, after due notice and oppor- tunity to object having been afforded to members in full commu- nion, the congregation is unanimous ; the unanimity being man- ifest by the absence of formal protest taken when the resolution to introduce the Instrument was adopted. 4. That in cases where there is not unanimity, but where the majority of the members in full communion are in favour of in- troducing an Instrument, this may be done with the knowledge and consent of the Presbytery or the bounds ; provided, always, that violence is not thereby done to the conscience of such as can- not enjoy Gospel Ordinances without leaving the communion of this Church, nor the harmony of the conjjrggation imperilled. 5. That, as to regulate the Service of Praise belongs primarily to the Kirk Sessions, these courts be in8truct'3d to take order in accordance with the above regulations, and, particularly, to see that the tunes and music used in Public Worship be such as will not interfere with general singing, or otherwise affect the becom- ing solemnity of Spiritual Worship.

McPherson, (No. 7,) be amended by striking outall after the words "therefore resolved," and substituting the following : — That the introduction of Instrumentel Music, as an aid in sing- ing Praise to God in the public worship of the Congregations of this Church, is an unnessary innovation upon its long established usage ; but that, inasmuch as it is not unscriptural, the Synod cannot make a difference of opinion, or of practice in respect thereto, a barrier against receiving congregations in which the practice prevails, nor authoritatively interfere with the christian liberty of Congregations to adopt the use of Instruments of Music, where there may be unanimity, or a near approach to unanimity in a Congregation, in respect to its desirableness. That while thus recognizing their right, the Synod enjoins upon such Congregations, that they be careful to regxilate their action in this matter by the principles and rules given in the Word of God to guide them in the use of their liberty, "lest by any means it become a stumbling-block to them that are weak" It was moved in further amendment by Mr. James Watson, lathAinead- seconded by Mr. Walter Coulthard, — That the \ise of Instnimen- ™«'^*- tal Music, in the Worship of God, being reasonable and scrip- .; tural, the Synod agrees to grant the petition of the Overture, * subject to the provisions of the Barrier Act. mi ,.-;,-;- .......^ :-...: „, 'J, 'V'V^- ■ ' VOTES, V .■ ;-_ ,,, '^..r.; The Synod then proceeded to voLe on the several motions, u" Muak"' thirteen in number, before the House, and after the final vote votes. was taken it was agreed that the numbers voting for the motions severally, should, as far as taken, be recorded.

KEMP'S DISSENT. Mr. A. F. Kemp here handed in and read his reasons of dis- sent from the resolution of Synod last night, refusing to the members of the Presbytery of London the right of voting on the question of alleged irregularities in the proceedings of the said Presbytery, as brought before the Synod in the Report of the committee appointed to examine the said Presbytery's Records. The paper handed in by Mr. Kemp is to the following effect : — " Reasons of dissent from the decision of Synod on the appeal from the ruling of the chair in the matter of the London Pres- bytery. " 1. That the undersigned was precluded by the voices of the Synod from stating the terms of his appeal, all which he was [564] 186V) CANADA PRK8BYTERIAN CHURCH. 47 entitled to do in accordance with the regulations and uaageR In , '' : ■ ^'' matters of order. His appeal was that tlie ruling of the Mod- " ' ' " orator wa» in regard to a matter which was not a point of order, but of privilege, namely, the right of a member of Synod to Tote. " 2. Tiiat in no way known to the law and practice of the Presbyterian Church of Civnada can a member of Synod be de- . ' ^ prived of his vote in any case, unless, as a part of his Presby ' ''', . tery, ho be sisted formally at the Bar of said Synod, or be him- self a party thereat. "3. That the dissentient's Presbytery was not sisted at the Bar of .said Synod, nor waa he •» party thereat. Further, that the matter involved was of the nature of a Reference from the committee on the Records in question, in regard to which, by the recognized rule and practice of the church, Presbyteries have a right to vote ; also, that the matter at issue was not a point affecting only the Presbytery of London, but had refer- ence to a general practice in which other Presbyteries were as much interested as the Presbytery of London. **4. Such a deprivation therefore of the right to vote, under > the conditions noted, is a violation of the constitution of the .' ? church, and a refusal of a sacred right to the members of said Presbytery, against which the undersigned solemnly reclaims. " For these reasons the undersigned for himself, and all who may unite with him, dissents from the said finding of Synod. i ' Q. , ( Alex. F. Kemp. Signed, i A. Wilson."

Minutesread 4*. -I Mr. John McTavish, from the Committee appointed last night Reasons of to draft answers to the reasons of dissent given in by Mr. Kemp, ^"Kemp's, in the matter of the resolution adopted by the Synod, on the Answers to' ^uention of irregularities in the m-oceedings of the Presbytery of lOndon, handed in and read a Ileport containing such answers - ' as follows : — The Committee beg to submit the following answers. . .i 1. To Reason first it is answeredj: ' \ That in cases where the Moderator has decided any point of order, the riding is final, unless an appeal is taken to the House. The vote on such appeal is taken without argu- ment ; and the point submitted is simply, sustain or not siistaiii the ruling of the Moderator. Mr. Kemp was endeavour- ing to argwe against the decision of the Moderator as uncon- stitutional, when he was prevented from doing so, inasmuch as his only right was to appeal to the Synod without remark. To reason second, it is answered. 2. That the Presbytery of London, though not formally called to the Bar, were virtually at the Bar of the Synod, and that the Clerk of the Presbytery, with the Records in his hand, and [567] I" 50 MINUTES OF THE SYNOD OF THE [June, ,*: \m. ['■' * Messrs. Proudfoot and Kemp, all answered in defence of the Presbytery, which they could not have done, unless the Presby- tery was virtually at the Bar. Abo, the general principle, that a man cannot be judge in his own case, justifies the decision of the Synod. Further, it is according to the practice of this Church, in such cases, to treat "the Presbytery as at the Bar, though not formally called. To reason third, it is answered. •. i ': 3. That the matter in question was not a reference, but the Re- port of a Committee stating an irregularity on the part of the Presbytery of London, in Us action as a Court, not in the mere form of the minutes, which were reported as regular, and cor- rectly kept, which irregularity was submitted for the judgment of the Synod ; and the particular motion on which the Presbytery of London, was denied the liberty of voting, was a motion de- claring the action to be irregular, and admonishing the Presby- tery ; which admonition was not competent, except on the j»)rc- stcmption that the Synod were required to pass judgment on the action of the Presbytery. To the fourth reason, it ig answered. 4. Thatonpagesixteen, of the Book of Forms, it is explicitly sta- ted that " the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Church, are final ; and cannot be protested against, or appealed from. " From such decision, dissent may be taken by any member of the Court ; but he can ory'lv act thereafter in one of two ways, either submit to the decisii-n of the Supreme Court, or move that such decision be reconsidered ; neither of which courses has Mr. Kemp pursued. . ■'•'■• • !

' ' . Principal Willis handed in, and read, a Report on the subject of the acknowledgement, on the part of the Church, in some suitable way, at a seasonable time, of the good Providence of God to this land. The Report was to the following purport : — That the S;y nod recognising the remarkable goodness of God in the seasons of the year, recommend to all their congregations the observance of the Divine dispensations, whether of mercy or of judgment ; and authorize the Moderator, as he shall see fit, to appoint a day of Thanksgiving, or call the congregations to this exercise, either at a time that may be appointed by Civil Authority, or may appear likely to be concurred in by other churches. The Report was received, and the Synod agreed to leave it to the Moderator to call the attention of the Church to this matter at his discretion.

XXXUl OF HOME MISSION COMMITTEE. = 5 3 3 T t» i* .i^ The Committee have endeavoured during the past year to carry on the Home Mission work oT the Gharch as entrusted to them, and arc happy to be able to state that a satisfactory degree of prosperity has by God's blessing accompanied their work. The following results are laid before the Synod for approval. The half-yearly meetings have been held, and in general have been well attended, also quarteily meetings of a sub-committee for the distribution of the Probationers for the vu-^Ticies an-ong the several Presbyteries. The returns from Presbyteries are on the whole satisfactory. In some casea, as will be apparent from the tables appended, the required information has not been furnished, and it may be necessary to withold grants from such stations and congregations till they make the required returns. In other cases, where statistical information is not fully given, Mission Stations are not sufficiently organized to afford it. I. Stations and Congregations. The Table in Appendix I, exhibits every Mission Station ia the Church, and that in Appendix II, every congregation receiving supplement from the Central Fund. In these lists are found the names of Stations and Congregations, which it haa been resolved to remove ; but as they were connected with the Com- mittee's operations during the year, they fall to be reported. It is expected that, in accordance with the resolution of last Synod, Presbyteries will revise thes* lists at their first regular meeting after this ISynod, and making such changes as they see fit. From the Returns of Presbyteries, as received in October next, amended Lists of Stations and Congregations will be made out as the baois of operation for next year. The following are the summaries of the Lists : — SUPPLEMENTED SUMMARY. 1 MontrMa... 2 Ottawa ... 3 Brockville 4 Kingston... 5 Cobourgr .„ 6 Ontario .., 7 Toronto .„ 8 Hamilton.. 9 Ouelph .. 10 StraUord .. 11 Paris 13 London ..

XXXT From these Tables we learn that connected with the Committee's operations there are 77 mission fields, with 150 preaching stations, and 56 supplemented congregations. These represent altogether 4509 families, an adult membership of 6165, and an average attendance of 16091. These Mission Stations and Oongregiitions contribute locally, besides board for Missionaries, |22,'i 62 41, acd received in aid |9,683 75. Comparing these results with those of last year, we find a slight decrease in the number of Mission Fields, but au increase in the aupply given to them, in the aid received to the amount of $1,184 25, and in the amount contributed of $3,374 33. Of Supplemented Congregations we have an increase in nnmber of 11, with 610 additional communicants. It is to be regretted that arrears due by congre- gations exist to the amount of $1,074 22. The increase in the Supplemented Congregations compared with the decrease of Mission Stations, indicates that by means of the assistance afforded by the Committee, several stations have been so strengthened that they have been able to obtain a settled pastor, or feel themselves prepared to call. The amount paid from the Central Fund is in such cases almost necessarily increased, but the Committee, believing that the building up of congregations by settlement with liberal supplements, is the best way of advancing the Home Mission work of the Church, rejoice in this evidence of progress. II. Missionaries. In Appendix IV. will be found the list of Missionaries. — It contains the names of 11 Ministers, 4 Lay Catechists, 22 Divinity Students and 1 4 Student Catechists The necessities of the Mission Work have led Presbyteries still to employ the last named class of valuable labourers. The demand for Missionaries by the Presby- teries this spring was however less than last year, being 49 as against 61, and the supply was so nearly equal to the demand that Presbyteries have not Been fit to employ Students of other Theological seminaries, to the same extent as in former years. The cases in which Ordained Ministers are employed in mission districts for long periods are more numerous this year, and the Commit- tee are of opinion that.this method of cultivating our mission fields, may be more extensively adopted by Presbyteries with success, where good men can be obtained for work. During the winter months some of the Presbyteries, with laudable diligence* endeavoured to give occasional supply to mission stations in sending the mem- bers of the Presbytery for one or two Sabbaths at a time. And much good would result if this plan were adopted throughout the church. i^' •J III. Funds. Besides the regular grants to Mii^sion stations, the Committee has paid, in ac- cordance with the resolutions of last Synod, for Kankakee $100; towards the reduction of the Buxton arrears $100, and to the payment of arrears in the Presbytery of Grey $100; sundry expenses in addition, amount $166.70. In all $466.70. All the money due to Missionaries and Ministers, so far as known to the Committee, is paid. XXXVl APPENDIX. The following is the Condensed Financial Statement :- ..jr.' : 'SJ m t!

In one or two instances this was done, and immediately, as "light have been foreseen, dissat- isfaction arose among ministers and congregations, whoso stipend is less than the amounts secured to these newly ordiiined men in supplemented rharges, "Which at the same time contribute to thai supplem nt. Unless a stop be put at once to this course of procedure, the Oommitteo will fmd it impossible to con- Bent to the application of Presbyteries, for unless the income of tiie Fund b« more than doubled, we cannot raise the salary of all our ministers to a mint. mum of $600. It is unpleasant when the Gommitiee appears to call in question the wisdom, and to disregard the express wishes of a Presbytery, and therefore there is the greater reason for Presbyteries considering well what may be the consequences of unduly raising the stipend in one place, eveu if it is desirable ,to sect re the services of a superior man. In view of this difficulty it has been suggested that the supplemented coiMrregations shoul i be beparated from the Home Mission scheme proper, and that a separate fund be raised and suporRtely administered for their benefit, leaving only mission stitions with the Home Mis- sion Gommittee. In order to work our Missi'^n fields it has been found necessary to make the grants in some new settlements comparatively large. It is, however, believed that a liberal outlay at first will prove to be true economy, as thereby congrega- tions will be more quickly established. V. Vacancies and Probationkbs Another matter entrusted to the Oomiuutje by last Synod, was the distribu- tion of the probationers of the Church amon{j the Frisbytories, so that they might visit the several vacancies with a view to settlement. The Gommittee submit with much satisfaction the result of their labours in this department. In appendix III will be found a list of all the vacancies reported to the Gommit- tee since July last, in all 58, also of all the probationers who were in the list during the'year, in all 30, from the same paper it will be seen that fifteen vacan- cies have been settled, and twelve probationers That the number of the for- mer exceeds the latter is owing to three vacancies having called ministers whose names were not on the roll of probation. The large number of settlements — .aud the fact that only five out of twenty whose names were on the roll— — in Octob'T last are now unsettled, afford the best evidence possible of the practi- cal utility of the present mode of distribution. Although there may have been cases of individual hardship or inconvenience, which no plan could prevent, the Committee have reason to believe that parties concerned are generally well sat- isfied, and that a solution has been found of a difficult practical question in the working of the Ghurch. The distribution of probationers hui been made quar- terly, and the Committee are happy to be able to report that with the exception of two cases of sickness, and one of wilful disregard, which, however, the Pres- bytery concerned resolved not to prosecute, the appointments given to the pro- tifitioners have been fulfilled. In some Presbyteries, probationers were employed part of the winter half year in the mission field, this the Committee regard as In ^perfect harmony with the wish of the Synod, as expressed in 1866. VI. WoBK Done. The Committee arc sorry to have to say that uo reports of special interest ^kave come in dwing the year. Presbyteries have been satisfied with giving -cueh infoimation as the printed forms oontaio. 1 ij* * ll APPENDIX. la the Presbytcry'of Montreal great efforts have been made to got thestationi and congregations into better order. The success which has attended these ef- forts is highly gratifying. Kvcry cncourtigement should bo given in the endea- vour made by the Presbytery to overtuko and cultivate iho largo scattered, de»- tltute and diflficult field of labour before the Church in tlie Province of Quebec. Two settlements have taken place during the year ; one new mission field haa been opened up, and several stations have been revived. The Presbytery of Ottawa has worked well. (There are here four vacancies. It is most desirable to have these well filled with a view to further progmsi. In the Presbytery of BrockviUe much labour has been expended to good effect during the last year, and much yet remains to bo done. The congregations here are much weakened, and the things that remain call for strengthening and fosU tering care. Four vacancies are waiting for settlement, and will be found at- tractive to those who desire a wide field and plenty of work for the Master. The Presbytery of Kingston goes on satisfactorily. The northern region has engaged the attention of the Presbytery ; it has been visited by a missionary with good results. There are four vacancies within the bounds. The Presbytery of Cobourg works away quietly, and is giving supply as it can to the settlements in tho northern parts. There are three vacancies looklu)^ for settlement. Tho Presbytery of Ontario has made three settlements during the year. Two of them in new congregations. The work goes on steadily and well. There are still two vacancies. The Presbytery of 2'oronto has made great progress during the year. There have boon nine settlements during the year, with tliree others in immediate pros- pect. Three of these, including Muskoka, where Mr. W, Wright labours as an ordinary missionary, are in places which have been hitherto only mission sta- tions. Three others are in congregations receiving supplement. The largeness of the number of settlements may fairly be ascribed to the operation of our Home Mission scheme, in the liberal aid which it extends to mission stations and week congregations. In the city of Toronto, the mission work progresses favourably. The Yorkville station is building a commodious place of worship, and a missionary has been appointed to labour in the east end of the city, where a mission Sabbath School is in successful operation, In the Muskoka district steps are being taken for the erection ')f churches at three points ; and in the Mulmur ond Melancthon group it is proposed to build two churches. There are still five vacancies. In the Presbytery of Hamilton one new mission station has been opened up. There are at present three vacancies. The Presbytery of Guelph is diligently cultivating its mission field. There is oue vacancy. No information has been received regarding the German mission. Mr. Leutzinger's labours have been withdrawn from Berlin, and he now preaches at New Hamburgh and Preston. The Committee is not informed as the cause of tha change, nor the result of his labours during the year. No other German mis- sionary has been procured, and no progress can bb reported. In the Presbytery of Paris, the mission stations have been supplied, but there is no special report. There is one vacancy. In the Presbytery of Stratford there is nothing to report. It has four vacancies. The Presbytery of London has made marked progress during the year. There have been several settlements, and a decided advance may be notioed in several congregations and missiork stations. There are still three vacancies reported, two of them being in the United States. Of the Buxton mission there is no report. In the Presbytery of Huron there has been progress. One settlement has taken place. There are two vacancies still. The Presbytery of Grey is working its new and somewhat dilficuU field, and progress, though slow, is noticeable. There arc four vacancies. The Bruce Mines were visited daring last summer, and partially supplied, but the Presbytery has not been able to extend to tho people there that aid and ea- APPKNDIX. Xll couragement which they require. U would bo well if a suitable man could b« f. ind, to Bend him there for a, lengthened period. i 1 taking a revie'v of the whole interests committed to their care, the com- mittee see reason to bo thankful to God for the past, and hopeful for the future. The church is evidently making progress. Resignations on account of inade- quate support are becoming loss frequent. Weak congregations are gathering strength. New congregations are being formed, and settlements long neglected nre being overtaken. The supply of labourers is becoming more nearly com- mensurate with our wAnls. The liberality of our people ia bocoming better developed. At the same time the Committee desiderato, greater care on the part of Pres- byteries before drawing on the funds of the church, and more steady efforts to secure contributions and stir up congregations to a sense of their duty. Lot every minister feel that he has an interest in sustaining the Committee in its op- erations and lend a helping hand. The Committee would also ask for more full information on all matters of interest, and tho regular transmission of such in- telligence for publication. Too often even matters affecting the work of tho Committee are not officially reported ; but left to be found out by accident, or verbally stated by some person who happens to know the facts. This should not be ; and the representatives of Presbyteries aro particularly requested not to overlook this suggestion. The attention of the Synod is respectfully directed to a few points. 1. Something should bo done at once to prevent the accumulation of arrears in supplemented congregations. What steps may be necessary Presbyteries must decide ; but no minister should be allowed to remain in a place where, for any reason, the people neglect the duty of contributing, as the Lord enables them, for his support. 2. The Synod will render assistance to the Committcs, if it will give instruc- tions whether expenses incurred by Presbyteries in doing mission work within their bounds, are to be defrayed from the Central Fund, or from a separate fund to be raised by each Presbytery. 3. The Committee beg of the Synod to enjoin Presbyteries to take decided and prompt action in reference to congregations and stations within theii- bounds, which either neglect to sond contribution to the Fund, or contribute inadequately. 4. The Committee requests the Synod to repeat the instructions of last year to the effect, that the names of students who may be licensed during the summer, aad ministers or probationers who may be received after this Synod, bo not put on the roll of probationers till October ne.Yt, but that these men continue to labour in the Mission Field all that time.

Should the Synod see its way to enter on another heathen mission speedily, a reconsideration of the field may be desirable. While the fact that by entering ■on'the work in the New Hebrides, we would be co-operating with our brethren of the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces, "trongly commends that field to «3, your Committee think that it may be well worthy of consideration whether, on the whole, it would not be wiser to commence in some of the great •centres of population. The attention of your Committee, and of many in the Church, has been turned towards China, where there are districts with a popu- lation of more than two hundred millions, which seem, at the present juncture, peculiarly open to Evangelistic effort, and have never yet been occupied by Pro- testant missions. Your Committee would suggest that the field of any additional imiBsion to the heathen should be left an open question, and that tbe Foreign Mis- ■sion Committee be instructed to make auch inquiries as may guide them in making a recommendation to next Synod. Your Committee would, however, beg to call the special attention of the Synod to the receipts and disbursements for Foreign Missions during tlw year. Balance on hand at the beginning of the year f 4,809.16 Received during the year, as agfainst $4,809.50. last year 4,341.18 Expenditure during the year 5,790.25 Balance on hand 3,360.29 Prom these figures which show that the balance on hand is |il,448.87 less than last year, it is evident that this Committee is not prepared to embark on any new missionary enterprise, unless there are either (1) arrangements made by which tlie work in British Columbia and Red River, which in its character is more nearly allied to Home than to Foreign Mission work, can be tak^n in the course of a year or two out of the hards of this Committee, and othei . .^ pro- vided for ; or (2,) there is such a large increase in the contributions of the Church as will enable the Committee to carry on the work which it has already on hand, and go forward also to occupy new fields for Christ. There is no rea- son why this latter alternative should not be that chosen. It certainly is not to the credit of a church which has nearly 300 Ministers on its Synod Roll, and 4bout 45,000 communicants, and such a large proportion of the wealth of the APPBNDIX. Iv eountrj under its control, that it sliould allow its zeal for the converaian of pa- gan nations to be represented bj a contribution often cents pnr member, and by a missionary staff of one ordained minister, in the whole heathen world. There seems no reason why the contributions of the Church for Foreign Mia* lions should not at once be doabled, and that too without any diminution in the funds required for other departments of ecclesiastical work. Indeed your Com" raittee are satisfied that the rigorous and earnest prosecution of the work of Foreign Missions, by its reflex inftaence, throngh the Divine blessing be the means of strengthening the piety and quickening tlie energies of the Ohurch for ererj form of the work. All which is respectfully submitted. W. M0LA.RBX, 6'ofn/«»«r. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF KNOX COLLEGE. The Board of Management of Knox College hare to report to the Syaod la reference to the various matters entrusted to their supervision. I. Tai ATTINDA.SO8 or Stddknts. The numbers of Students in attendance on the classes ia the Theological de- partment was 20, of whom 9 wore in the senior. 4 in the second, and 7 in the junior class. Only 6 students were enrolled in the preparatory department ; but this id exclusive of a large number of students who are taking a University course, with a view to the ministry of our Church. II. PROPKSSORa. In addition to the regular staff of Professors, the Rev. Robert Ure of Gode- rioh, and the Rev. John J. A. Proudfoot of London have taught the classes in Apologetics and Homiletics respectively, in accordance with appointment of last Synod. The Board recommend that these lectureships be continued, und that the regulations in reference to the time when the classes shall meet, and the order in which the subjects shall be taught, be left with the Board of Man- agement. The Rev. Dr. Burns has, as in former years, taught the class in Church History, and the Rev. J. M. King has kindly rendered great assistance in the preparatory classes. III. The Library. By the kind liberality of friends, large and valuable additions have been made to the library. Three new catalogues have been made out, (I) a stock, (2) an alphabetical, and (3) a classified catalogue ; but there is still wanting a printed catalogue for the use of the students. From the duplicates in the library a thousand volumes have been sent to the Montreal Presbyterian College ; for which cordial thanks have been returned. IV. Thb Bursabiss. The Board desire to notice with gratitude the additions that have bsea made to the bursaries of the College during the year. G. L. Beardmore, Esq , hat established two bursaries of 150 each, having contributed the sum of JIOO for this'purpose, and signified his intention of contributing a similar sum for the next five years. The same gentleman has also given $30 for the library. J. Goldie, Esq., of Ayr, has sent |5 lO for the purpose of founding a scholarship in connection with the College. W. Ross, Esq., of Stirling, Scotland, has contri- buted $40, and W. Hall, Esq, of i'eterboro, $51 to be contributed for five years, as bursaries. Y. ThI EllPLOTUKNT OF STUDENTS (N PaBAOHINa DuRIMG THE OoiiLiaB SeBSIOV. It was agreed by the Board to recommend that the regulation in reference to this subject be amended, so as leave the matter at the discretion of the Senate. From this Mr. Waters dissented. Ivi ▲FP£5i)lX. VII. SrUOINTS WHO HATE GOMPLUTETCD THEIR StUDIIB IN THR TuBOLOOICAL. SiuiNAniis or ths United States. This matter was remitted to the Board bj the last Sjnod ; and the Board re- commend that the Synod enact the following regulations in reference to stu- dents of this Church taking their Theological course, wholly or in part, at anj foreign Theological Institution, bui intending to labour in the ministry, in con- nection with the Church : — 1. That students of this class shall be required not to emit any part of the lltirary course which this Church lias prescribed, as preparatory to the entrance on Theological study. 2. (a) That in order to facilitate the admission of said class of students to Ihe status of Preachers in the Church, they be strongly urged to present themselves on the'complction of their Theological conrse, for trials for License, before one of the Presbyteries of this Church. (6.) That in the case of students of the class specified, who may take Licenre \n any foreign Church, previous to the termination of their theological curricu- lum, such curriculum must be completed before tha License so obtained shall Le recognized by the Church. (c.) That students who shall, on the completion of their course, bare obtained license in a foreign Church, may be received as Preachers by any of the Presby- tories of this Church, on the production of the necessary evidence of licensure, as well as of their having completed their theological studies ; but preachers thus received shall not be employed as Probationers, nor be eligible for settle- ments, sooner than students of the same year who shall have been licensed by the Church. VII. Funds. 1. Ordinary Fundi. — The amount received from congregations during the pre. sent year, for tne ordinary fund has been $5753.80. The expenditure has been 10383.32, leaving n balance due at the close of the year of $629.32. There ia also a further sum of $931.65 due to professors, making the total amount due $1661.1 7. The sum due at the close of last year was $1129.46 ; so that the debt on this fund has been increased by $431.71. This is a matter of deep regret to the Board, who hftTC used every effori in their power for some years past to reduce this debt. It must, however, be borne in mind that three Presbyteries formerly con- tributing to Knox College have been set off by the Synod, and attached to the Theological Seminary of Montreal. The Presbyteries contributing to Knox Oollege bare contributed mor* than they did last year, though not enough to prevent a very seiious addition to the debt. This subject is earnestly com- mended to the attention of the Synod. 2. Endowment. — The sum of four thousand dollars has been received from W. C. McLeod, Esq., of Woodstock, towards the endowment of a chair in Knox College. This large donation was made on the payment of the sura of $2000 due to Mr. McLeod on account of the Beachville Church ; of this $2000 only $1600 had been specially contributed, and the balance of $100 was advanced by the Treasurer, and in the first instance it will be necessary to apply the interest of the $4000 in repayment of the sum thus advanced. It is hoped that the wealthy members of our church, stimulated by Mr. McLeod's example, may see the impor- tance of placing the college upon a more satisfactory basis, by a liberal endow- ment of the Professors' chaii'S. VII. Prkparatoiit Dbpartmbnt. The Synod have taken steps from time to time with a view to tho encourage- ment of our students in prosecuting their studies at the University, and gradu- ating there before entering on the Theological course in Kox College ; yet it has always been found necessary to make provision for those who have not re- ceived a preparatory education of so thorough a kind, as to enable them to do this with advantage. The necessity has been increasingly felt for some provi- sion to give this class of students more etficient literary training. With this Tiew, it was proposed by certain ministers, and other oflice-bearera in the Oburch^ APPENDIX. Ivii to ask the Sjnod to appoint the Rer. George Pazton Young, A.M., to take charge of thia department of the work, and, with the cordial approral of this Board, they proceeded to solicit special lubscriptiona for the purpose of raising Mr. Young's stipend, in cn^e of his appointment by the Synod ; so that this ar- rangement might not impinge on the ordinary funds of the College. It is pro- posed that this arrangement shall be only for the next two years, thus meet- ing a present and pressing necessity, without pledging the Synod to the per- manent maintenance of such a preparatory course. From the well known at- tainments and qualifications of Mr. Young, the Board have the utmost confidence in recommending his appointment to the charge of this department of th« work.

Toronto, May 20th, 1 868. g«- du- it re- do OTi- thiB rch;. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, MONTREAL. The Board of Management of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, beg to sub- mit the following Report : — In accordance with the appointment of last Synod of the Rev. George Paxton Young, A.M., as Professor of Theology, the Board at an early date thereafter, entered into correspondence with that gentleman as to his acceptance of the office. The result was that Mr. Young declined to accept the said appointment. It then became a matter for the Board in consider whether in these circum- stances the College should be put into operation, or postponed for another year. After due consideration it was agreed that an effort should be made to opec the 1 ••• Ivin APPENDIX. Colloge, and carry out the permission granted by the Synod, viz.: — that in the *rent of tlie Rev. George Paxton Young, A.M., declining to accept the appoint- ment, the Board be empowered, sliould they see fit, to make whatever provision may be thought desirable for the instruction of classes during the coming winter. In accordance with this permission it was agreed by the Board to open the College, and to invite the Rev. William Gregg, of Cooke's Church, Toronto, and the Rev. William Aitken of Smith's Palls, to undertake the work of teaching the classes for the first Session of six months, each of them to give three months «to the work. The appointment having been accepted by these gentlemen, the •Session w .3 opened in Erskine Church, on the first Wednesday of October. Mr. Gregg delivering the opening lecture. Ten students bava been in attendance on the classes during the Sessioa. Their names and standing are given below. Application was made to the Corporation of McGlll College University for affiliation with that institution. The application was received and concurred in, and in accordance therewith, the Presbyterian College of Montreal was admitted *s an affiliated Theological College, rnder Chap. XIV., Sec. 3 and iO of the ■Statutes of the University. The advantages of affiliation are, that students whether entered as Matriculated or Occasional, shall be subject to the regu< Jations f^' the Faculty of Arts in the same manner as other stuujnts. The l Board, and they would such suggest to the Synod the propriety of considering whether it were not better that a separate Board of Examiners should be appointed for the College in Montreal. The foliowipg is a statement of the number and standing of the Students examined at Toronto : — 1. Students in the preparatory course, fourteen. Entering the 1st year, eight. E. Vincent, A. Gilray, D. Johnston, E. Panton. J. Campbell, J. Stewart, Sutherland, Murray. Entering the 2nd year, two. D. Fraser, ' James Fraser. Entering the 3rd year, four. A. McLaren, Rothwell. 2. Students in the Theological course, twenty-one Entering the 1st year, seven. J. R. Batti.sby, J. Abraham, Thomas Ritchie, J. Breckenridge, R. Fairbairn. John Gray, Thomas MoKee, George BurnGeld, John Baikie, \x APPENDIX. Entering the 2nd year, five. John M. Munro, A. Rowat, Entering the 3rd year, nine. J. A. P. McBain, A. G. Foster, J. P. Baikie, Alexander Urquhart, J. H. Paradia. J. E. Croly, John Campbell, A, Milne, D. McDonald. James Barron, W. Mitchell, E. Reeve. The Board notice with much satisfaction that the candidates generally pre- sented themselves punctually at the time appointed, and in most cases came well prepared. To this there are a few exceptions, on account of which the Board had to make arrangements for a second examination. It is however to be hoped and desired that such a necessity will not again occur, as, so far as the Board are informed, the Students themselves now see the propriety, and perceive the advantages of such a regular review of their studies. It would greatly tend to the regularity and efficiency of the examinations by the Board, were the Senate to make a special report upon the case of each Student, who attends the classes, without having first passed the requisite examinations. The attention of the Senate was specially called to the case of one Student, who, though in othsr respects highly to be commended, was deficient in classical attainments. As several of the Students in the preparatory course seemed somewhat at a loss as to what class they could attend in Classics, and Metaphysics, at the suggestion of the Board, the Rev. Mr. King, of Toronto, met with them twice a week, and gave them instructions in Latin and Greek, in which studies Mr. King states they have made very satisfactory progress. Professor Caven also, in addition to his regular work, kindly gave such Students much aid in the study of Philosophy. As reported at last Synod, the Board had succeeded in raising funds for the purpose of giving Scholarships to under-graduates of the Toronto University, who are preparing for the Ministry in the Canada Presbyterian Ohnrch. This part of their work has been successfully carried on during the last year. Nine candidates entered as competitors for the Scholarships offered. The following were successful. Students in the 4th year— J. E. Croly, " " 3rd " R. M. Thornton, " «' 2cd '« W. Armstrong, T. Bwing, P. T. Drummond, " " Ist «• A.Hamilton, The Board awarded to each of the other condidntos. whose papers were all good, the sum of $30, to aid them in the prosecution of their studies. The entire sum awarded by the Bo.ard amounts to $365, an rqual amount is promised for another year by the same congregations, and doubtless others will also con- tribute, so that oar succession will be able successfully to carry out the scheme thus happily inaugurated. It is pleasing to notice a growing desire on the part of candidates for the Ministry, to avoid themselves of every facility of attaining a thorough liberal culture before entering the Theological classes. Respectfully submitted by W. ORMISTON, Convener. 1st Scholarship 1st 1st 2nd 3rd Ist BOARD OP EXAMINATION. Rbport for Montrkal. The following students have passed all the examinations required by the regulations for their respective years: — Messrs. Paradia and McRaeaB 2nd years' APPKNSIX. \xi students, and Messrs R. McKenzie and F. McLcod as lat year students. Mr. G. 0. Stewart was unable from severe illness to attend the entrance examina> tion, bat as the Board hare the fullest confidence that he was prepared to pass it, they recommend that his standing as a 2nd years' student be accorded. Messrs. G. Munro and D. H. McLennan passed only in Latin and Greek, but they purpose to present themselves again for examination in the sam* year at the opening of next Session. J. M. GIBSON. all he ivae the iors' REPORT OF WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND. ( The Receipt* and Expenditure will he found ih the aeeountt of the Church, in smother pari of the Appendix.) The committee have received a report from the actuary who was selected to examine and report as to the condition and prospects of the Fund, A. G. Ramsay, Esq., Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, England, and Secretary of the Canada Life Assurance CoiDjianv. His report is herewith transmitted to the Synod. It will be seen that he ia of opinion that the continuance of the yearly collection is necessary, and that no part of it should be applied to any other purpose. The committee direct attention to this point, so that, if the portion ef the collection for some years set apart for the fund for Aged and Infirm Ministers cannot be im- mediately withdrawn from that important object, means may be used for increas- ing the ciMigregational collections, so that the interests of the Widows' Fund may Qoi ultimately be injured. All of which is respectfully submitted. (Signed,) J. OSBORNE, Convener. RBPOat ON THE WIDOWS* AND ORPHANS* FUND OF THE UINISTEaS OF THE CANADA FRESBTTERIAK CHDROH. In compliance with the desire of the managers of the Widows' Fund of the Canada Presbyterian Church to be informed, 1st, whether looking to the present income ot the Fund, the present rates of annuities of $120 to widows, and $140 to $160 to widows with children under the age of 14, can be safely continued to be paid ; 2nd, whether the annuities could be safely increased ; and 3rd, whether the yearly collections from congregations would be dispensed with, or one half of them set apart for other purposes, the Reporter has given the pcsitior< of the fund his careful consideration. There are at present 220 *'.nist«.r-s contributing $8 each annually to tne fund. Of that number 10 are widowers, and 19 have not been married. These two cla!>ses*are of various ages from 28 to 66 : and the reporter has as a basis of cal- culation assumed that they might each marry wives of the age of 2t. This as- sumption it is true is quite an arbitrary one, and it may at first sight appear too unfavorable ; but keeping in view the chances of second marriages the Reporter is not of that opinion. While the Reporter is not advised that a large number of new eontributors to the fund may be looked for, from year to year, he is informed ihat the average age of such new contributors may be assumed as 26. If such new contributors marry wives of the age of 25, the yearly payment during the husband's life to secure an annuity of $120 to his wife, without considering any allowances for children, would be $17 00, but as his contribution will be but $8 a year, it will be seen that every euch additional member beyond the present number is a very considerable charge upon the fund; unless he can bring into it with him some addition to its capital, or some addition to its revenue, in the shape of an increase of the existing yearly collection. The calculations in reference to the Scheme have been based upon the Carlisle tables of mortality ; and it has been assumed that its funds will be improved at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. Ixii APPSNDIX. Wilh these preliminarj remarks the Reporter finds the foUowingis the position of the fuDd. The present capital is |61»688 42- The value of the revenue from the members' oontributions of $8 per year, and the annual collection of $2,085' is. . 66,844 79' Showing a valuation of assets amounting to $107,483 21 The value of the annuities to the 16 widows at present on the fund, is $19,264 68 The value of the annuities to 13 children at present on the fund, till they attain the age of 14, is 1,381 20 The value of annuities to widows of the present 220 mem- bers is 71,178 12 And add thereto fur annuities to children till they attain age, 14, say 7,000 00 78,178 12 For expenses of the management of the fund, say 10 per cent, on the valuation of the contributions and annual collection 5,684 48 Giving for the value of the liabilities $104;S58 48 104,368 48 Showing 1 surplus of $3,074 73 It will be seen ihat the fund has been charged with the sum of $7,000, on ac- count of the probable temporary annuities to the children of contributors, and it is right to add that that is an arbitrary amount. While it is not based upon any exact scientific data, for the materials for enabling that to be done are not obtain- able, the Reporter is of opinion that is a fairly correct and safe estimate of the value of the children's annuities. In the valuation of the annual collection of the $2,085, the Reporter has assumed that such collection will be continued during the ♦-xistence of the fund, and that it is a necessary element, of its success. While it will be seen that the position of the fund shows a surplus, and there- fore at present fairly warrants, (1st,) a continuance of the present rates of annu- ities. The Reporter is not of opinion (2nd,) that the amount of the surplus is sueh as would warrant an increase of the annuities ; or (3rd,) that the yearly collections from congregations could be dispensed with, or any portion of them applied to- other purposes. Appended are one or two statistical tables which may be of interest to the- members of the fund. All of which is humbly reported by, A. G. RAMSAY, ftllow of the Jnititute of Actuaries of England.

Ministers and licentiate of other Evangelieal Presbyterian Churches, who hold and accept the Westminister Standards, in the terms of the articles of Union, and who come in the way of orderly translation, or are ezprenly designated, or com- missioned as ministers or missionaries to this Church, shall, on application to any Presbytery, and producing proper documentary evidence, be at once admitted as Ministers or Probationers of this Church. 2. That in all cases in which an applicant for admission does not come in the manner poovided above, but with Presbyterial or private certificates only, he shall not be received into full standing as a minister or probationer of this Church unless with the express sanction^of the Synod ; — provided,.alwayB, thatifoncxaui APPENDIX. Ixiii ioatioD of the certificates of such party, at an ordinary meeting of FVeebytery, and on due consideration of the whole case, the Presbytery be unanimous, they may avail themselves of the services of such applicant in the meantime. 3. That the certificate of such last raentioneu applicant shall be presented to the Presbytery .it an ordinary meeting thereof, and he shall be dealt with as tlje Presbytery may see fit, in the way of private conference, examination, and bear- ing discourse', with the view of ascertainig his soundness in the faith, personal piety, knowledge, ministerial gifts, prudence, aud propriety of deportment, and if satisfied on all these points, the Presbytery shall record their judgment, and in- struct their clerk to issue circular letter*, as early as possible, to the Presbyteries, in the usual form, to transmit the application with relative documents the next ensuing Synod, and to appoint the applicant to appear personally at the next meeting of Synod. In the event of the Synod granting permission, such appli- cant shall be received by the Presbytery, and reoognizyd as a Minister or Proba- tioner, as the case may be, of this Church. the he iiroh SEVENTH REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATISTICS. Your Committee have to report that the change of the termination of the Synodical year, has enabled them to present to this court a somewhat full state- ment of our position, statistically considered ; and it is moreover, their privi- lege again to exhibit progress and extension. Out of the 278 ministers on the roll of Synod, 18 have no pastoral charge, leaving 262, who occupy this position of these 251 have rendered reports, and 1 in the Presbytery of Montreal, 2 in that of Ottawa. 3 in Guelph, 2 in London, 2 in Cobourg, and 1 in Grey, making 11 in all, have failed to report. Four of these have since been given in. On the other hand many of the vacant charges continue from year to year to give in no returns. The matter is again brought before the respective Presbyteries, and, if this state of things con- tinue, your Committee will be constrained to recommend the year, for statistical! purposes, to run from l3t of January to 31st December. Though three city and town charges render no report, yet the increase indi- cates progress and may be stated thus : In settled pastors, the increase is 11, making 30 in two years, or nearly i of the whole number, — in families 936, communicants 1,549, baptisms 238, Sabbath School children 3,065, Bible classes 17, elders 26, and other office-bearers 163, and church acccmmodation 8,831 — while there seems to be a decrease in the number of stations not forming part of the regular charge principally from the fact that many of these are becoming settled charges. It is not pleasing to notice a decrease of 32 in the number of prayer meetings, and of 794 in the volumes in Sunday School Libraries. Passing to the Financial Statement, the Stipend Fund it is to be regretted does not indicate that increase, which might have been expected from the effort put forth last year to augment it. The average stipend has been found how- ever, to have raised to $600 net, without the supplement, or to |620 with it, making a general increase of about 25 cents. The proposal made last year to make the minimum stipend |600 was not in« tended to include a manse, from the fact, that valuing- it as worth, throughout the whole church, $100 per annum, our people are not prepared for so large a rise in the yearly income of our ministers, however desirable and necessary such may be — and as only 123 or considerably less than one-half of the regular charges possess homes for their pastors, in order that a proper comparison may be instituted, a distinction must be made between those with, and those without these useful edifices. Your committee therefore, still believe that their proposal of last year is practicable and possible, if proper and continuous efforts be put forth, and that the minimum of stipend ought to be $600 without, or |500 with a manse. Such an arrangement would lead to the erection of manses in larger numbers, more especially in the country districts. That an effort to reach this comparatively APPENDIX Ixir ■■I 'I' I J low standard, would demand continuous and persistent effbrta for some years, is plainly evinced by tlie circumstance, that 80 charges, or nearly one third of the whole are below this standard. The grand remedy for this lamentable state of matters, is an augmented spirituality of mind on the part of our people, which would eventually be followed by an increased liberality. As a subordi- nate means, the advice of an able political leader seems the most effectual — '' Agitate, agitate, agitate." A slight decrease of $3,260 is observed in the arrears, but, while Paris and Stratford report none, the Presbytery of Montreal shews an alarming increase, and includes nearly one-half of the whole arrears $2290-07 out of $5097' 11. No remedy seems practicable for caring an evil like this. It appears to be a law of ecclesiastical finance, whose cause it is not easy to ascertain, that arrearages of stipend are part and parcel of the working of every church system. Like the sore that is caused by internal causes, when checked on one spot, it breaks out in auother. For no sooner are these blots on our good name and ecclesias- tical integrity wiped out in one quarter, than they appear in another. A per- petual evil they must therefore become, unless some efficient remedy be devised ; and the returns indicate but a small proportion of the amount, as many thou- sands of dollars are cancelled by ministers, who will rather suffer personal loss and privations, than have their sensitive minds tortured by seeing arrears marked against their respective charges. Some mitigation of these evils might be produced by more close and constant Presbyterial visitation, and by an ad- justment of claims and stipend in certain cases. In contrast with this state of matters, it is pleasing to note an increase in the stipend and other funds, with the exception of that for widows' and orphans, and superannuated Ministers' Fund. It shows a decrease of $151*84, and your committee take the opportunity of urging a greater liberality towards a scheme so promotive of ministerial comfort and efficiency. The formation of a Theological College at Montreal has largely increased the amount of the College Fund, — that for Montreal being $6,61907, and for Knox 16,477-36, making $13,096-43 in all. The returns indicate a decrease of $675.84 in the Home Mission Fund, a result chiefly caused by a large diminution in the contributions of the Montreal Pres- bytery — augmented by a small decrease in the Presbyteries of Kingston, Co- bourg, Ontario, Hamilton, and Grey, and reduced by an increase in those of Ottawa, Brockville, Toronto, Paris, Guelph, Stratford, Huron, and London. To this fund, however, are to be added the liberal contributions of $3,551-17 re- ported for the Kankakee Mission. Still such decrease from whatever cause en- auing calls for enquiry, and demands increased exertions to remove it. The whole contributions reported amount to $346,54592, or $45,336'13 more than last year, and shew an average contribution of $8-22 for each communicant, being an increase of exactly a dollar over that of last year. It is to be regretted that so many congregations still omit making collec- tions for one or more of the various schemes. Taking the five chief funds of our church, viz.. College, Home Mission, Foreign Mission, Widows' and Orphans' Fund, Synod Fund, if every charge made a contribution for each, the number of collections would be 1,255, but from the returns it is seen that only 975 were made, leaving 280 not attended to in a single year, and taking each at an aver* age of $4 more than $1,100 have been lost tc our schemes, though neglecting to comply with the Synod's injunctions. This lies at the root of much of the debt and difficulty, that more or less firmly attach themselves to all church undertak- ings. Without attempting to explain this neglect, your committee again urge on congregations the importance of Congregational Missionary Associations, as the simplest and moat satisfactory plan for remedying this defect. In conclusion, the committee would respectfully impress on ministers and office-bearers the need of more punctuality and promptitude in forwarding their returns, as, for years, delay in gendiog them has entailed a considerable amount of additional labor.
