Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings with Thy most gracious favour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works begun, continued and ended in thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally by Thy mercy obtain ever- lasting life, through Jesus Christ 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 m^cy in all things seek Thy honour and glory. Prosper with Thy blessing the 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 true religion in the dominions of our Sovereign, and the labours of those Missionaries who are proclaiming the same in this Province. And may Thy Holy Spirit direct all our consul- tations to the advancement of Thy glory, and the gcJod of Thy Chuich, 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 Heretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they 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. Amen. Our Father which art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive 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. AT CLOSE. The Grace of our Lord Jesu» Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen. m w CONSTITUTION. 1.

J ;t^ 1^ I '^Jil SECRETARrS REPORT. A. D. 1895. With the present year the Diocese of Frederieton completes the lirst half century of its existence. The fiftieth anniversary of the inthronization of its first bishop on St. Barnabas day, June 11, 1845, has already been fittingly commemorated by impressive services held in the Cathedral at Frederieton ; and in further recognition of so interesting an anniversary a very hearty united service was held in Trinity Church, St. John, on the 13th of June. The occasion naturally recalls the memory of Bishop Medley, the first President of the Diocesan Church Society, whose wise guidance contributed so greatly to the extension of its usefulness. In one sense the present year may be justly regarded as the jubilee year of the Society, seeing that with the arrival ot Bishop Medley it ceased to be the "Church Society of the Archdeaconry of New Brunswick " and became the "Diocesan Church Society," or, as it is familiarly termed, the " D. C. S." Under its new name the Society entered on a new and enlarged sphere of usefulness as an handmaid of the Church. The City of St. John (Portland included) for the first time gave to the Society its cordial support in 1845, the three Parishes of Carleton, St. John and Portland, making a contribution of about $1,800, a handsome sura for those days, the immediate result of Avhich was that the Society's income was more than doubled. foi ex pa du in rictoii The (ishop ' been eld in ;nition united B 13th ory of ocesan ted so (r . JJ arded th the hurch and it 18 V name lore of City of ave to 'arishes •ibution ys, the income 39 In the half century now closed the three Parishes mentioned have been snb-divided into nine, each ncAv one on its formation giving its annual contributions to the Society. An examination of the subscription lists pub- lished in the Annual Reports shows the contributions to have been as follows from the City of St. John : Annual Parish. Y^ars. Total. Average, St. .John, 50 $36,662 8733 Portland, 50 3,613 72 Carleton, 50 3,054 61 St. James, 43 6,596 153 St. Paul, 43 20,612 480 St. Mark, 42 16,996 404 Victoria, 20 685 34 St. John Baptist, 13 5,498 423 St. Mary, 5 508 101 Thus by the support first accorded the D. C. S. in St. John in 1845, and continued during the succeeding fifty years, the income of the Society has been augmented by an average annual contribution of about $1,900, amounting to upwards of $94,000 in the aggregate. The growing interest of the Diocese at large in the maintenance of its home missions is clearly shown by the increased contributions to the General Purposes Fund of the D. C. S. In the City of St. John, the contributions during the past decade show an increase of twenty-five per cent over those of the previous decade, and a cor- responding advance has been made in other parts of the Diocese. Whether the same rate of progress will be maintained for the future remains to be seen ; but we mav at least express the hope rhat all the parishes that have in the past so loyally supported the Society will stand by it during the few years it has to live ere its entity bo merged in that of the Synod. I ")1 1 -ft *! m * m i 4 I •x^'^-'i Il 40 With all that has been accomplished heretofore, the fact still remains that the funds available for the sup- port of home missions ought to be increased by several thousands of dollars in order to satisfactorily carry on the work of the Church in this Diocese. The stipends of the missionaries are miserably small, and in some cases scarce sufficient to keep them out of debt. "We can econo- mize no further in the reduction of stipends. Meanwhile several missions are anxiously awaiting the coming of a clergyman, some of them having been a long time vacant, and new and promising fields are calling for aid. During the past twent3'-five years the venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has eft'ected a reduction of $10,000 in its annual grant to New Bruns- wick missions, and it is impossible to tell what might have er'" MOW befallen the Church in this Diocese but for the invaluable aid rendered by the Diocesan Church Society. Tlie record of the past year does not differ very ma- terially from that of its predecessors. There have been about the usual number of changes in the ranks of the Society's missionaries. Encouraging features are seen in the iijcrease of communicants and of those confirmed and baptized as compared with former years. There has also been an increase in the sums raised for all Church purposes. Two of the Society's venerable missionaries — the Reverend James Neales and the Reverend A. H. Weeks — have entered into rest, each in his life-time a warm friend of the Society, and each leaving a bequest in aid of its objects. The Society has also to mourn the loss of three of its life members — the late Henry Garbutt of London, the late Xorris liest of Montreal, and the late Judge B. Lester Peters of St. John. , ,. .

S. to know that Adding- ton is doing its best to keep pace with the times in matters ecclesiastical. Arriving here in October, 1894, I was anxious to visit all my people before winter had set in, and with the help, of Mr. Jno. Dawson, of Dawsonville, who kindly placed himself, his horse and wagon at my disposal, I was enabled to do so. There are five stations in this parish, Campbelltc.n being the headquarters. Dawsonville is the most important station outside of Campbellton, and hitherto Divine service has been held here in the little school-room — a building totally inadequate to the needs of the place. The congregation have to sit upon uncomfortable benches, and the room is often so full that it is difficult, and frequently impossible, to obtain a seat at all. But this state of things is not to go on much longer, for the people, encouraged by the Rector promising a weekly service, are deter- mined to build a church. I am pleased to state that an excel- lent start has been made, the frame has been procured, and great enthusiasm is shown in its erection. It is hoped o have the building ready for service this summer. On the Monday preceding Christmas day the little church at Campbellton was tastefully decorated by loving hands. The number of communicants at 8 a. m. on Christmas day was in advance of former years. Just before Lent an attractive " At Home " by the ladies of Christ Church was brought to a successful issue ; twenty dollars were netted and placed in the hands of the Rector towards a Rectory Fund. The season of Lent has been well observed outwardly ; the services being fairly well attended. On Wednesday evensong and sermon, and on Friday evenings litany, with addresses on Christ in His offices as Mediator, High Priest, Prophet, King, Shepherd and Head of the Church. We trust that the outward observance has resulted in a definite advance in the spiritual life of our people. The noticeable feature of our services is the spirit of reverence which pervades them, everybody, without exception, " kneeling upon their knees." At the annual vestry meeting several points of interest were discussed, among them the advisability of building a rectory. A subscription list was opened and ere the meeting .(', '"1 ' :4.i:;5| ■it<\ ■t:-:i ■■■; •^/.*'^«n I ■ 1 ! i 42 . . closed 8250 were subscribed towards this object. It may be added here that the tone of this meeting was excellent, there being an evident desire on the part of those present to lend an earnest, helping hand to the work of the parish, in the interests of true religion, and for the growth of the Kingdom of God. P. S. — I am pleased to state that the church at Dawson ville was opened for service on the first Sunday after Trinity. ANDOVER-REV. S. NEALES. It is now about sixteen months since I took charge of the Mission of Andover. Last July I made a short report to the D. C. S. and told something of what had been done in that short time and what we then hoped to do. Since that time the work of the Church has gone on quietly with but little change and there is, consequently, but little new to report. The little church at Glenburn, which was begun during the incumbency of my predecessor, is so far advanced towards completion that for some months we have been able to make use of it for service. The Four Falls church, on which work was commenced last autumn, is going on quite rapidly now. It is a source of much gratifi- cation to me that the parishioners at Four Falls, before they commenced to build, decided unanimously to make the church a memorial to our late loved and lamented diocesan, and I trust that the "St. John's Bishop Medley Memorial Church" at Four Falls will long stand as a reminder to all the worshippers within of the noble and self-sacrificing life of that apostolic man whose memory is so truly blessed. The church, however, is not yet nearly finished, and I need not say that the building committee will be most grateful for any contributions towards that end. The building of a new church in the village of Andover we have not yet commenced, partly owing to the fact that we have not secured a lot of land on which to build, and partly to the fact that there is still a small balance due for repairs on the rectory. Within a few weeks, however, I feel confident that both these causes of delay will be removed. Already over $600 have been raised, chiefly through the efforts of the tireless and successful Women's Aid Association, out of $700 that was needed for the rectory, and to this most eflicient association we look for con- tinued assistance ; in fact it is hard to see how the work which has been accomplished during the past few months could have been done without the Women's Aid. During last year I man- of on 43 'm aged to give Grand Falls a week evening service once a month, but since the beginning of May last I have made another ar- rangement by which I can hold a Sunday service there on the first and third Sundays of each month ; but as this work means, of course, the taking away of one service at that time from An- dover or some other place, and adds very nearly 100 miles a month to my driving, I very much hope that some arrangement may soon be made by which Grand Falls may be more efficiently served with the ministrations of the Church ; and as for the members of the Church there I feel sure that I can safely say that they will do all that lies in their power to maintain the services of the church themselves. In respect to the spiritual work (less visible but none the less real) I trust we have been making some advance during the past year. A confirmation class prepared to receive that holy ordinance in October, though twice disappointed through sad and unavoidaVjle circumstances, and decreased in numbers through sickness and death, was at length presented to the Bishop on January 24. Fifteen can- didates were confirmed at Andover and eight at St. Alban's church, Undine, which, with four confirmed at Grand Falls, made a total of twenty-seven. The greater part of these have since become communicants and will add, I trust, continued strength to the Church. In conclusion I must take this oppor- tunity of giving expression of heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends both within and without the parish who have helped along the Church's work here ; to Mrs. Medley, especially, do I owe a deep debt of gratitude for acts and words of kindness, and for much substantial aid. For a very handsome altar which was placed in the pansh church on Christmas day last, as a memoiitil of the late lamented Judge Peters, 1 have to thank most heartily a very kind and generous friend, Mr. Geo. A. Schofield, of St. John. To our Women's Aid Association, too, I feel that not only myself, but the whole parish, are deeply indebted for the unflagging zeal and industry with which they have carried on their lal)Our of love for the Church's sake. The St. Agnes Guild, too, which has now been in operation ^or about a year in con- nection with the parish church, has been of valuable assistance in keeping the church neat and clem, and in providing flowers during the spring and summer months for adoi*ning the altar. For all these things, and for many acts of kindness personally received, as well, I feel that I must give expression to my sin- cerest thanks to one and all, and aVjove all to our Heavenly Father for His continual mercy and blessing. - 1 ; \-j\ igiiH^ *w: i" I^HbE'Ih '' ' ' "SM iiJ^ • '1 tf|1 m ^■'■^' i M"' rt ' IQ,'' ij i ,^ ' i Wt' ^ ''' U ' ^K' ^^K' ■« '■ ^K' ' ' ii IMl' r- B' « EV' ' ' }i- , KK' ?: K- '1 1 ^ mt: i n '" ' .' .' 1^^ 1 sBO ^ fi^^^K A' K <^> .ii flRp ^ m W'i hki' " ■'■ f '< m^ ./, '>'K;:iI 44 CAMBRIDGE — REV. A. J. A. GOLLMER. In presenting my first report allow me to mention how grateful I feel for the hearty words of welcome and tokens of renewed friendship I have received from his Lordship the Bishop, my brethren the clergj', my old parishioners of Trinity Church, and friends in 8t. John, and from the members of my Parish. Having been amongst you before for five years I am no stranger dwelling in a strange land, but as one of your own selves, seek- ing to advance the cause of Christ's Church in the Diocese. In reviewing the past I can but exclaim : " The lines are fallen unto me in a pleasant place; yea, I have a goodly heritage." On entering my ministry in the Parishes of Cambridge and Water- borough my first thoughts were directed to the lambs of the flock committed to my care. I have during the last nine months admitted into the CJiurch of Christ through the sacra- ment of Holy Baptism no less than twenty infants. I find there are several adults not yet baptized, but being anxious that those who were really called of God should partake of the bless- ing of that Holy Sacianient, I did not press the matter with them, leaving it with the Ruler of all hearts to guide them into the way of holiness. Nevertheless, my heart was cheered by the devotion and courage of a young person who had been brought up amongst Baptists, and with Baptist parents, coming boldly forward and confessing faith in Christ during Divine service in the presence of the father, wRo happened to be pre- sent, having only been once before. It was a day of rejoicing and thanksgiving for us. Ever since this young person has been faithful to the Church and walking circumspectly amongst us. The services are bright and congregational. Our thanks are due to the energetic work of Miss Minnie Mott, organist, for her valuable services at St. Luke's Church. Severe storms have hindered us twice only during the winter from holding services, the attendance being exceedingly good in the winter ; but owing to the farm work in the summer the average has been smaller. The churches are in very good repair and kept as the house of (rod should be. We are in need of a sanctuary carpet and chair for St. Luke's Church, and a more modern prayer desk. I have married but one couple, both being members of my church. The wedding took place in St. Luke's Church. I trust this will be a wholesome example to influence others to do likewise, as the sacred edifice is the proper place for such unions we 45 i . how ms of ishop, hurch, 'arish. ranger ,, seek- e.

I ers to do ,ch unions to take place. I regret to announce that I have had the sad duty to perform of burying three of my parishioners, one belong- ing to each church. They were staunch church people, and their loss is greatly felt. Henry Keys, belonging to St. Luke's Church, Joseph Thompson, to St. John's Church, and Eliza Scovil, to St. James' Church. Mrs. Scovil, mother of Morris Scovil, Esq., of Meadowlands, Gagetown, was an exemplary Christian and exceedingly staunch churchwoman. St. James' Church was ever in her mind, and she laboured much for its welfare. Now she has joined the Church triumphant above. We were pleased to welcome home another devoted church- woman — Miss Elizabeth Scovil — who, through a severe illness, was compelled to resign her position in the States. We are thankful to i^.tate that she is greatly improved in health. In memoriam of her beloved mother, Miss Scovil has promised to erect another stained glass window on the north side of the church close to the family pew. This will make another handsome ad- dition to our pretty stone church. Our grateful thanks are given to Miss Scovil for her proposed magnificent gift. Once more, this I cannot omit, we are exceedingly thankful to our members and to the people around us at Lower Jemseg, Baptists and Methodists, for the grand and self-sacrificing efforts put forth in helping on the work of the building of the rectory. The work is being pushed on, and although this fall we shall be only able to complete the house part, yet we hope with further help, by next year we shall see a comfortable residence com- pleted with the rector and family in possession. We feel deeply grateful to those kind friends in St. John and Fredericton who have come so nobly to our help in our time of need, and I tmist there are yet many more who will follow their generous example ; we need $500 more to complete the building. In conclusion, while our hearts are full of thankfulness to Almighty God for His goodness to us in the past, yet we have had to pass through seasons of disappointments and difficulties. These were necessary to remind us whence alone our help and strength come. Owing to the continual exodus of our young people to the States, it is a subject which causes us great anxiety of mind with regard to the future of the Church ; yet the great Shepherd of the flock is ever mindful of His own, and will take care of His Church until He comes again. Ours is to work and trust, the blessing and increase are from the Lord. Mi ■J 'll ! .'^■v.-. )^-m-m 40 CHATHAM— REV. CANON FORSYTH. Since my last annual report to this Society we have been engageinted for Church's port that g a much- The fence will cost l)etween sixty and seventy dollars and will greatly add to the appearance of the rectory. If it had not l>een that one of our saw mills disappointed us alxmt sawing our luinl>er we should have l)een ahle to report the work finished. A good eoniniittee was also appointed at Easter to huikl a fence around the new burial ground, similar to the neat one, built three years ago, around the old ground. One of our vestrymen, Mr. T. H. Gil- bert, made a very generous offer of supplying the posts re(|uired, and we have little doubt that next year we shall be able to report this fence finished. Judging from the rate in which we have made improvements during the last five years, we shall be unable, in two or three years more, to report any further im- provements ; not from lack of activity, l)ut from lack of anything to improve. In these days when rector and vestry are too often considered antagonistic parties, I am happy to be able to report that I find my vestry a helpful lx)dy. During the year death has again been busy, claiming nine of our members, six of whom were communicants, and one, Leveret DeVeber, a faithful and active vestryman for ten years. H^^qni- escant in pace I To extra parochial objects we have contributed the following collections : $8.00 on Epiphany Sunday to Foreign Missions ; $7.36 to S. S. Children's Mission Fund, during Lent and Advent; ^5.19 to Jews' Mission on Good Friday; 82..30 on Ascension day for Bishop Sullivan; and about 675.00 to the D. C. S. JOHNSTON— REV. C. P. HANINGTON. There is nothing very special to report from this parish this year. Church matters are moving on about as usual. The serv- ices have been kept up regularly since my last report, except for a period of about eight weeks in March and April, when sickness prevented me from doing any work. The congregations, I am glad to say, have been good, and seem to be growing larger in many sections of the parish. There are other reasons V)esides this for believing that the Church's influence here is extending, and that the work done has not been done in vain. The new church at Bagdad has been so far completed as to be fit for hold- ing services in. We wish to thank all those friends who have helped us so generously in this undertaking. The first service 4 v. H < -I" ■:-\i "'■■'■,'ii 60 was held in this church on March 3, when there was a congre- gation of 1 00. The general average attendance is between 40 and 50. Holy communion was celebrated in this church for the first time on June 23. The hall at Cody's is too small for our present congregations ; on some Sundays there is not room for all who come. A church will have to be built there some day, I feel, for it is one of the most important sections of the parish. We have had great difficulty in raising our assessment. We trust that it will not be increased, for the limit seems to be arrived at for the present. $105 have been added to the assess- ment which was required to be raised when the parish was set apart eleven years ago. If the population was increasing an in- creased assessment would not be so serious a matter, but the population remains at a standstill, the exodus of young people to the States and elsewhere counterbalancing the natural increase by births. KINGSCLEAR — REV. H. MONTGOMERY. The usual routine of work for another year, since my last report to this Society, has been accomplished without any extra- ordinary events which might otherwise make the year's record more interesting. We have still to deplore the loss of parish- ioners by emigration without successors to fill their place, how- ever humble, in helping on in some way or other the Master's work. Still we live in hopes that a brighter day will dawn when the homes once occupied by churchmen will again be filled with faithful and zealous members of the Church. It is gratify- ing, however, to know that amid this discouraging feature in our parochial Me we are still holding our own with what is left, and have no reason as yet to despair of a better future for the Church in this parish. According to the Apostolic injunction we owe no man anything but the debt of gratitude for Vindness received. On the other hand, we have funds on hand for the further improvement of Church property. Of the spiritual progress of the parish we can say but hii'e. as its true estimate is known only to Him who seeth not as man seeth. There are signs, however, which show that it is not at any rate decreasing. We expect to have a fair number of candidates for confirmation in the season of Advent, when we hope his Lordship the Bishop will be able to come to us.

May He help me to do a still better work for His holy Church in that hifrh and holy calling wherewith I believe He has called me, is my earnest prayer. LANCASTER— REV. WM. LeB. McKIEL On the 3rd of Api*il, 1894, I was appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese to the cure of souls in the Parish of Lancaster. I found the church in Fairville in a sad state. There was no Sunday-school in existence, and Church children were either going nowhere or attending Methodist and Baptist Sunday- schools. Disunion and strife were rife in the congregation. The outlook was very discouraging. One often meets the remark in missionary reports to the D. C. S. that little out of the ordinary course hsis occurred during the j^ear — but while this could not be said' of the church in Fairville during the year past, nevertheless it would not tend to edification to dwell on these occurrences. It will be sufficient to remark that the priest in charge has gone quietly and steadily forward in the discharge of his duty uninfluenced by the fear or favour of any man — with the deter- mination not to be a party man — to avoid all extremes and carefully to observe the rubrics of the prayer-book. Doing this, with earnest prayer to the Head of the Church, the confident hope was entertained that reasonable men, with the love of God and of God's Church in their hearts, would be willing to make some small sacrifices of their personal wishes and inclinations whether for or against certain points of ritual. This, in part, has been realized, and we have peace once more within our borders, and with the increasing confidence that time gives that the same course will be pursued in the future. Our xiumbers are continually increasing, for which we thank God and are encouraged. The Sunday-school was immediately re-organized after I took charge, under my own supervision, till the time came when it was necessary for me to take charge of the church in Pisarinco, '■I ^r, ' I J 4 \ t 1:1.

James Hudson — some fifty years ago, earnestly desired to build a church. It is also near the place where, in a frame house which was then in course of erection, the late revered Bishop Medley, just forty-nine years ago, held confirmation, and was presented with an affectionate address by the people. In his report to the S. P. G. that year, he gives an account of this his first visit to this mission, in which he says: "No place, I confess, struck me as more lonely "than this, or more needing the care of one who would rather "leave the ninety and nine than lose one stray sheep in the "wilderness." It is in this part of the mission to which the lats Bishop refers in his report that the new church has been ' 'xVt; and I hereby thank God that at last the stray sheep have . f Id provided for them, into which I trust they may be safely gathered. The church in Doaktown is flourishing, and the outlook is at present most favourable. Here we have some good, earnest, faithful laymen who are doing splendid missionary work for the Church, and by degrees are getting in one by one not only the lukewarm and the indifferent of her memljers, but also the wanderers from the old ways and old paths of the grand old historic Church of the nation and empire. For their zealous co-operation and for the kind assistance given me by the Lay Reader, Mr. Gardiner, I desire to thus publicly express my warmest thanks. The work in this mission has been most interesting and encouraging. I deeply regret that I have not been able to give more time to it. But situated as it is, seventy miles from my house to the farthest point in the mission, and with so many other claims and demands upon my time, I have been hampered in doing all that perhaps might have been done. I thank the great Head of the Church for the blessings He has vouchsafed my feeble and unworthy efforts in this mission, and earnestly pray that He may so continue to bless the work in this portion of His vineyard, that it may ere long be in a position to have more faithful and constant minis- trations. To His gracious favour and loving kindness we com- mend its needs, and for His mercies and blessings already bestowed, we reverently and devoutly say, '^ Laus Deo." r l| ■f '.V, :■* ^''>J 54 MAUGERVILLE AND BURTON— REV. H. E. DIBBLEE. In submitting my report for the past year T do not claim that the work of the Church in these parishes has been everything that I could desire, and yet I suppose no sense of modesty should deter me from stating that by the ordinary rules of measurement the work has been progressive. Regarded from the standpoint of spiritual growth the record of the year affords me ground for gratitude. Compared with any of the last five preceding years I find that this year I am enabled to report more baptisms administered, more public services held, more celebrations of the holy communion, and a gratifying in- crease in the number of communicants. Eleven candidates were piesented for confirmation in November last, all of whom, I am happy to say, have become communicants, thus increasing our roll to one hundred and twenty-one. Regarded from a material point of view our progress during the year will, all things considered, be accounted as satisfactory. A fair start has been made towards painting Christ Church, for which object the Women's Sewing Circle is now at work. Our S. S. library in Maugerville has been increased by the addition of sixty-four volumes of the S. P. C. K. publications. In Burton the largerl work completed during the year was the painting of S. Paul's Church, at a cost of considerably more than $200. A work so satisfactorily accomplished is a fitting witness to the zeal and energy of Mr. F. A. Hubbard, of Burton Hill. But there were several other generous donors to this work, of whom I may be permitted to mention Mrs. Shuttleworth, Miss Frye, His Honour the Lieutenant Governor, the late Judge Peters, Mr. Justice Hanington and Mr. Edward Wilmot. The Burton branch of the Women's Aid Society is, to-day, I am glad to report, in a flourishing condition. During the year upwards of $100 have been added to the endowment fund. In this connection we have again to thank Mr. Edward Wilmot for a generous gift of $25. In addition to the increase of the en- dowment fund about $40 were expended at the Burton rectory. Agting with the approval of the Lord Bishop I have, during the year, opened up work in an entirely new field, viz., at Frederic- ton Junction. So recently has this work been undertaken that I count it too soon, as yet, to sum up results. Judging, how- ever, from the well attended services, and the genuine interest which the people manifest in the Church and in her work, one siJ el L( in di 55 may reasonably predict for the Church in that important centre a bright and hopeful future. I believe that our contributions to the (reneral Purposes Fund will not fall far short of the amount of last year, when, as T may add, we contributed more than at any time since my incumbency. Over and above the effort required in order to maintain the Church in its self-supporting position, our parishes contributed, last year, for mission purposes, $130.14. I refer to this merely for the purpose of re-assuring those who, with an unfortunate lack of information at hand, have allowed themselves to grow weary in proclaiming the decay of the Church in this diocese. It is but one instance among many. Let it declare with no uncertain sound that faithfulness and loyalty to the Anglo-Catholic Church shall in no case be in vain. I cannot close my report without expressing my regret and sorrow at the removal from the Church on earth of two faithful and zealous communicants- -John K. Gilbert, of the congregation of S. Paul's Church, and Mrs. Gerhardus Clowes, of S. John's Church. m F> ^ MONCTON— REV. E. B. HOOPER. zeal there I may His Mr. day, I le year In mot for the en- ectory. ing the rederic- en that ig, how- Church work in all its various branches has been carried on quietly but thoroughly during the year The regular Sunday and week-day services have been held without interruption with congregations, uniformly good. Sunday-school work, under the superintendence of Mr. J. H. Wran and a staif of most devoted teachers, all of whom are communicants, has progressed in the most satisfactory manner. The interest of the children in the missions of the Church is commendable, and is evidenced by their Advent and Lenten contributions to the " Children's Mis- sion Fund " of some $37. Last September His Lordship Bishop Kingdon administered the holy rite of confirmation to 9 males and 6 females, who, with the exception of two, have become communicants, and a class of twenty is waiting to receive the same holy rite at His Lordship's hands on Sunday next. The communicants' roll has increased slowly but surely. I have to report the organization during the past year of St. George's Guild of young women, and a chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The (Jruild has a large membership of the young women of the Church who de- vote themselves to various good works, and who pledge them- f-i 56 I : selves to assist the rector in any way they may be called upon. At present their great financial object is to secure funds for the building of a new school-house which is greatly needed. Mrs. T. V. Cooke is the president of the Guild, under whose energetic management the young women do excellent work. The chapter of the Brotherhood of 8t. Andrew has at present an active mem- bership of 1 2 members and 2 probationers. They are a great encouragement to the rector and a very real strength to the Church. It must be recognized by any clergyman as a blessing impossible to overestimate to have a band of earnest men, any one of whom is ready, not only to carry out the obligations of the brotherhood, but when special service for the Church has to be done to say promptly and cheerfully: "Here am I! send me." The long-established and faithful society of Willing Workers which has made itself famous for its good works in the history of Moncton Parish still continues its good work, and was able to report at the Easter meeting, through its energetic and pains- taking secretary, Miss M. Theal, the earning and expenditure of a considerable sum for repairs and improvements in the rectory. The prospects of a new church, which is a pressing need, have advanced one step since my last report. A special meeting of the parishioners on April 24rth, called for the purpose of discus- sing the report of committee on a new church building, was very largely attended by representative men of the congregation and passed a unanimous resolution that a fund for a new church be started and a committee appointed to promote said fund. I hope to be spared to report next year that considerable progress has been made in this important undertaking. I desire to record in this report the gratitude of my people and myself to Mrs. Medley, of Fredericton, for her generous gift to St. George's Church of festal and penitential altar hangings and pulpit frontal, which are rich and beautiful, as befits the adorn- ment of God's sanctuary. Our annual collections for the general purposes of the D. C. S. have not yet been made, owing to other matters of great importance occupying our thoughts and taxing our purses ; they will, however, be made and forwarded to the Treasurer in the near future. At the time of writing this re- port I and my people are looking forward with pleasurable anti- cipation to the meeting of the Society in our parish. Our prayer is that the meeting may redound to the glory of God and the good of the Church throughout the diocese. 57 MUSQUASH— REV. H. M. SPIKE. During the past year my usual work of the Church has been continued. By givi^'» up that part of my former ministrations in the Parisl '. ^ aster, at Pisarincc > . ':hv? Rev. Mr. Mc- Kiel, I have been enu ,sd to have more freijuent services in other parts of my parish which have been of great advantage to my parishioners. For some years past the needs of the parish have been very generously met by the Women's Aid Society, of Mus- quash, who are now paying for the building of a neat porch to the rectory. Our usual services have been well attended, and there is harmony and good churchmanship prevailing throughout the parish. There is always a ready response given to the wants of the Church, so we do not fear that the parish, as heretofore, will make up the amount required by D. C. S. for my successor. As I am about to retire from pastoral duties I cannot but feel grate- ful to the Society for its long and continued help, for which my parishioners also feel thankful. Mi m NEWCASTLE AND NELSON— REV. J. H. S. SWEET. I am thankful to be permitted once more to send in a favour- able report to the Church Society. There is nothing, it is true, of a novel or startling nature to record, but with only a few in- terruptions on account of ill-health the work in the two parishes under my care has been carried on as in years past, and, I trust, not devoid altogether of spiritual and temporal progress. Of any spiritual progress it is difficult, and, perhaps, undesirable to say much. That can be known to God alone, but there is much comfort in the thought that all work faithfully done in His name can not be in vain, even though we may fail ourselves to see the fruit. But when we see the churches constantly filled with good and devout congregations, a larger number of communions made, and an increasing interest in the Church's work and its main- tenance, it may, perhaps, be granted to us to report, with thank- fulness, a steady progress during the year even of a spiritual nature. Of the consistent and steady work of the Ladies' Guild in connection with St. Andrew's Church, Newcastle, I have fre- quently written in my reports to your Society. The past year has seen no diminution of their good works ; not yet have they ' V^:'^ i^sil b$ I! i! '} grown weary of well-doini^. This year I have to report that the congregation of St. Mark's, Nelson, have organized a guild for similar good works, and, having worked steadily all the winter, are preparing to hold a sale of their handiwork during the first week in July. We hope as a result, should that be favourable, to Ije able to erect a good fence around the church ground in that parish. But while the women of the church have been to the fore, as always, in the Church's work, an effort has been ntade to reach and influence the men of the parish. This has been done by means of the "Men's Help Society," a branch of which, I have great satisfaction in reporting, has been inav.gu- rated in Newcastle during the past year. It is calculated, I be- lieve, to accomplish an immense amount of good among the men. Comprehensive in its nature— including in its constitution the work carried on so well and admirably by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew's — it meets a want in every parish which I have no douV>t will be increasingly met by the adoption of the means set forth by this society. The members of my own branch meet once a month, at the rectoiy, for devotional exercises and mutual intercourse. By this means the men are brought into contact with their clergyman, and the more this is brought about the easier will become the solution of the enigma as to the best way of influencing the men for good. Since my last report we have had nome talk of selling the present rectory and building another on a piece of glebe land situated on the same road as the church and school-house, and close to both. The Bishop had kindly consented to sanction the transaction, provided satisfactory arrangements could have been made. Unfortunately, the idea, for the present, has had to be abandoned, as there seemed to be no prospect of disposing to ad- vantage of the present rectory. It was, therefore, decided to repair the rectory, and to make it more comfortable, especially in the winter time. The roof has been re-shingled, new and modern window-sashes have been put in, and the house has been furnished with a new and capital furnace. The rectory is now much more comfortable than formerly, and is decidedly improved in appearance. These impro' ments we owe to the Ladies' Guild. In Newcastle a great improvement has been made in St. Andrew's Church by the substitution of gas for the old coal-oil lamps. Needless to say what a wonderful improvement this has made in the lifting of the church, adding comfort both to the pastor and people. So far as we can at present judge this will not increase the running expenses of the church.

Antl matters of a like material progress have to be reported in connection with 8t. Mark's Church, Nelson. Externally that church has been re- cently thoroughly and well painted. For this I have to place on record my own and my people's deep indebtedness to Mr. Geo. Burchill, sr., who bore the entire expense. It has necessarily added very much to the appearance of the building, and we are very grateful to the gentleman referred to for his liberality in the matter. When the clergy have to report such deeds of vol- untary generosity on the part of her laity, as that recorded in connection with St. Andrew's, Newcastle, and St. Mark's, Nelson, the Church has not much to fear. May this year of jubilee be signalized by many other such like deeds in the diocese at large. In addition to our own immediate needs we have taken up the following collections during the year : Foreign Missions, .^3.79 ; Domestic Missions, .$3.85 ; Parochial Missions to the Jews' Fund, .$7.19; Widows and Orphans' Fund, .$2.89 ; Children's Special Fund, .$1.67. My registers show. Baptisms, 14 ; Marriages, 3; Burials, 2. NEW DENMARK— REV. N. M. HANSEN. It is with sad feelings I this time write my report, because it will be the last one. On account of uniting my mission with Grand Falls, which will save money for the D, C. S., the Bishop has granted me a retiring pension of $200.00 from the first of October, and after that time I intend to live in the State of Maine. I have served here as missionary for the D. C. S. over nine- teen years, and feel in saying good-bye, I must give a general account of what has been done. Baptisms, 290; Confirmed, 144 ; Marriages, 35; Communi- cants, about 100; pupils in Sunday-school, about 70. Services regularly held. I commenced on nothing, and leave to my successor a good finished church, and a congregation of about 400 souls. Divis- ions have sometimes been feared, but to date avoided. And now I tender the most hearty thanks to the D. C. S. for its help for so many years. I will always feel an oVjligation to pray for and contribute to that good old Society as long as I live, even in a foreign country. Good-bye, in the name of our Lord. ■■■•Ml . « .-''Sir 60 PETERSVTLLE— REV. W. B. ARMSTRONG. I i \ On the 1 9th of Au^jfust last our Bishop held confirmation in this parish. As it was on a Sunday, and the day l)eing fine, we had three very large congregations. The confirmation was held in St. Peter's Church, ten miles flistant from the rectory, in the morning. Here ten candidates were presented. The church was filled to all its seating capacity and many had to stand throughout the service, all being much impressed with the Bishop's solemn words. In the afternoon, at Armstrong's Corner, four miles on the way home, and where a good number are always present, the Bishop addressed an overflowing and most attentive congregation. In the evening, at Welsford, six more candidates were presented, making sixteen in all. The address was on the words, "Stablish the thing, O God, that Thou hast wrought in us." Altogether nearly every family in the widely scattered parish had an opportunity of hearing their Bishop, and were much delighted and impressed. I experience quite a difficulty, notwithstanding the preparation of two months previous and the Bishop's stirring appeals on the day of confirmation, in getting the young people to come forward to the communion, as they imagine this is to be done by older and more experienced persons, whereas I think it must be the experience of most clergymen that whc, e the young people make this profession of love to their divine Lord regularly, they are generally the more satisfactory portion of the body of communi- cants. During the past year it was proposed by the Board of Home Missions to join this parish first with that of Westfield and then with Greenwich. The parishioners, however, seeing the serious drawback and loss that would occur if their churches should re- ceive fortnightly instead of weekly services as at present, deter- mined to make up an additional $70 a year, and relieve the Society of that amount, and accordingly the territoi'ial limits of the parish remain the same. Death has been quite busy in our midst during the last year ; and here I must make an especial reference to the loss of the late Hon. Francis Woods. He was a great benefactor to the church at Welsford, having given the land on which the church and rectory stand, and which is by nature a most suitable spot for that purpose. The late Mr. Woods was always ready to help in every good work, both with his good practical judgment and with his means. His presence will long be missed among us. and many will mourn the loss of a good counsellor and trusty friend. When the end came, after a tedious sickness patiently borne, he departed this life humhly trustinjjf in the merits (»f his Redeemer. Another death was that of a young man well known in the upper part of this parish, who left his home to work in the States during last fall, in the V)est of health and strength, and was brought home this spring to be buried near the churcl\ he so often attended. His death made a striking impression on the minds of the young who were his constant companions since early youth, and I trust the impression may be a lasting one. On such occasions the minds of many are more than usually opened to the word of warning, and, in fact, where large ccmgre- gations assemble, as is almost invariably the rule in the country, they form a most fitting opportunity for sowing the good seed. Our offertories for extra parochial purposes during the year have Ijeen fairly good for the ordinary run of country [)arishes. For the S. P. G. $5 ; for the Domestic Missionary Society of Canada, $5 ; for the Jews, )?2 ; for Algoma, $5 ; and the In- capacitated Clergy Fund, .$10.72 ; making a total of .$28 in all. Our congregations keep up well all the year round, especially the one at Welsford, and the clergyman has every reason to \ye encouraged in his work by their hearty co-operation and many acta of kindness. ,111 I ,J'M I d r NEW MARYLAND— REV. H. F. E. WH ALLEY. There is but little to report to the Society from thi.^ mission, of which I took charge in November last. I have been unable to do much in the way of parish visiting, but I think I may say I have now made the personal acquaintance of all the adherents of the Church in the mission. One service has been held each Sunday with one exception, when owing to the road being snowed up I was unable to get to the mission. The congregation num- bers generally from thirty-five to forty people. The Sunday- school has been revived, and there are now seventeen children attending very regularly, and we hope to have a few more very soon. I hope to be able to present a class for the holy rite of con- firmation in the autumn, before the young men go off to the woods. New Maryland is not a parish which is likely to grow in population, and therefore we cannot look for a large increase in the number of Church people Or communicants; but still it is hoped that there will not be any large falling off in these respects. '.!| 'y- i 4-->-r"l ■i 69 RICHMOND — REV. A. W. TEED. LtiHt Novem))er we had the pleasure of a visit from tlie Bishop when twenty-three candidates were confirmed —eleven at St. Paul's Church, twelve at St. John's (Parish) Church. I can also report that the number of our comnmnicants has been con- sifltjrahly increased. The thanks of the parishioners are due Mrs. Medley for much assistance and encouragement given; first, by a gift of 830.00 to pay the balance due for painting the rectory mentioned in my last report; second, by a further donation of $5.00 to the Sunshine club; third, by giving two purple banners to St. John's Church; and last, by the placing of a beautiful prayer-book in St. Paul's Church, presented by the S. P. C. K. through Mrs. Medley, as a memorial of our late Bishop. Further work has been done on the interior of St. John's Church, the west end having been covered with wood. This was finished just iDcfore Easter, and cost $70.00, which has been paid. The work of sheathing the interior of the church, which has been rendered necessary by the cracking and breaking of the plaster, goes forward but slowly; yet we should feel encouraged that some progress is l)eing made. A pleasing feature of the Easter Monday meeting, was the presentation to St. John's Church of a very handsome marked Bible, given by Mrs. Arthur McBride and her daughters, as a memorial of the late Arthur McBride. A Sunday-school has been organized at St. Paul's Church, and some twenty scholars enrolled. As the Sunday-schools at the Parish Church and at Watson Settlement have a fair attend- ance, there are now more scholars under instruction than at any previous time of my rectorship of Richmond. There are, I need scarcely say, discouraging features in con- nection with the work of the Church in the mission; but I have mentioned some of the encouraging features, and I am thankful to be able to report them. The parish registers for the year ending May 1st, show seventeen baptisms, one marriage, four burials. 63 n the ven at I can n con- sy for srift of itioned to the John's )ook in h Mrs. John's ..

WIGGINS. * « The last year lias lieen a most anxious one in the history of the parish, in that last Easter brought us face to face with a serious deficit that it was not in the power of the i)eople to uuike up. This state of affairs has been brought about by the serious loss we have sustained through the iemo\ als and death of some of our most lil)eral supporters. I am h j)py to say, luwever, that the Board has been pleased to take our case int > consider- ation, and by the proposed amalgamation of the Mission of Haie Verte with this parish hopes to give us such aid as will enable us to meet necessary demands, and so continue the work o^ the Church in this populous and most important centre. Hi' iwrd- ship the Bishop was appointed to carry out these arrangoments and to make such provision as he deemed l)est for loe mainten- ance of the parish. He came to us on the 14th of June to set in order this new arrangement and also to administer the rite of confirmation. Eleven candidates were presented, and three for baptism. His Lordship was accompanied by the Rev. A. A. Bryant, the newly appointed missionary at Prince William. Notwithstanding our financial difficulties St. Paui's Church and school-house have received- two good coats of paint during the last year, and the insurance on them and the rectory has been duly kept up. The services in the two churches have been regu- larly kept up, and the work of the Sunday-schools has l)een fairly successful. The subscription lists in aid of the Society have V>een duly circulated, but I regret to say thai ;"• e amount will not be quite so much as last year ; we hope, however, that an improved state of affairs may enable us in the future to atone foi this deficiency. H iS in con- I have thankful it St, show SALISBURY— REV. CHAS. H. FULLERTON. In reviewing the work done by me in this Mission during the past year I cannot say that it has been of an encouraging nature. Whilst endeavouring to perform the duties pertaining to the sacred office of a minister in holy things, I oftentimes feel that I am labouring alone in this mission field, and oftentimes I have been inclined to wish that my lot had been cost in some other locality where more generous assistance could be given me by lay members of the Church than there is here. i : I -■! ' »- ■ -j--}| [ It is very depressing to any clergyman who has the true in- terests of God's Church at heart to find only a small number each Sunday assemble for worship in the various churches in which he officiates, but I suppose he should not complain, pro- vided he finds that most of those who claim to be Churchmen are regular attendants at God's house. I find that some of the young people in this mission who have never become acquainted with the distinctive principles of the Church into which they have been admitted by holy baptism, are very lukewarm in their attachment, and so one needs not wonder that, in too many instances, their attendance at the ser- vices of the Church is very irregular. The services in some of the churches are not as bright and hearty as they might be if the few that we have would consider it their duty to respond in an audible manner, and would only sacrifice more of their time than they do in making the necessary preparation for a proper rendering of the musical portion of the public services. But notwithstanding the discouragements I have met during the three years of my pastorate I have never lost all heart in the work. I shall remain at my post and do all I can in my feeble way to advance the spiritual interests of the scattered sheep of Christ's flock in this mission, hoping still that the darkest days in our history are about over, and that a bright future is at hand. I am very thankful to rieport that our contribution to the D, C. S. has been paid during the past year, but at the same time I do not think that my people can give any more money at the present time than they are now raising towards my support, and the payment of current expenses of the parish. The rectory and several of the churches need extensive repairs, and we find great difficulty in securing the funds to enable us to make them. I am glad, however, to say that a small sum of money was raised last summer which has been expended upon the rectory, and some repairs are to be made on St. Andrew's Church, Petitcodiac, and St. Paul's, Havelock. No candidates have been confirmed in this Mission during the past ten years or more, but we are looking forward with much pleasure to a visit from His Lordship the Bishop of the Diocese, on July 8, when a small number of candidates will receive "the laying on of hands." in- iber i in pro- lare who es of tisra, i not ser- t and isider 1 only esaary of the during , in the \ feeble leep of st days t hand, i to the le same sy at the art, and ,ory and id great lem.

Canon Ketchum reports that he hopes, when the contributions for the general purposes of the Society are com- pleted, for an amount at least equal to that of last year, and that efforts are being made to increase it. A full statement will be made shortly. ST. DAVID— REV. J. W. MILLIDGE. There is nothing of special interest in the work of this mis- sion to report this year. Services have gone on as usual : the young have been baptized, the dead buried, and the sick and aged visited in their homes. Last winter was a very favourable one, and it was comparatively easy to keep up the services both Sunday and week-day with great regularity. We have had great difficulty in making up the assessment laid upon us by the D. C. S. Indeed, it can scarcely be said to be altogether made up by the people. As appears from page 210, report of D. C. S. for 1894, 16.5.70 was supplied by the missionary. It is true that the deficiency was somewhat reduced by a contribution from Hill's Point of $10.36, not paid in time for the printer; yet as all the offertories and collections from every church and station, with one exception, are taken for the assessment, it follows that all incidental expenses such as wine for the holy communion, insurance of rectory, assessment for Synod, etc., etc., must be met out of the private funds of the missionary, thus materially reducing the stipend for the work in a mission forty miles in length, with six churches and three stations. SAINT GEORGE AND PENNFIELD- SMITH. REV. RANALD E. The churches in St. George and Pennfield have been making good progress during the past year. Increasingly large congre- gations have been in attendance. The Sunday-schools are doing a good work ; a good staff of teachers has been at work, male and female ; they find Bishop Doane's Manual a great help and replete with all. necessary instruction. There is a large Young Men's Bible Class, taught by a member ^f the Brotherhood of 6 jL . -^:M ^: ■•-'>■ \ • » * :}^ 66 St. Andrew, in St. George ; and, in Pennfield, a large Young Women's Class, also taught by a brother. A Young Men's Class is to be formed in this parish immediately. So both Sunday- schools are flourishing and have a large attendance. We have a chapter of the Brotherhood, in each parish, doing a good work. The church corporation has purchased a lot of ground adjoining the church in St. George and have put a good fence round it. During the winter and spring that persistent old fellow, "hard times," put in an appearance ; the granite business being dull, and a strike having occurred, many of the Church young men were compelled to seek employment in the United States ; but we are fighting him and expect to drive him into the corner. Too much prosperity is not good, and difficulties stimulate. Our Lenten services were better attended than ever before, having almost Sunday congregations, especially during holy week. We are hoping to see our Bishop and to have a confirmation in each parish this coming autumn. The collection for the D. C. S. is not completed, but we expect to collect the required amount. ST.

It is just a year since I took charge of this parish, and al- though there have been, and still are, some things to discourage one, yet on the whole I have reason to thank God for His bless- ing on my efforts. There is one church, Holy Trinity, in St. Martins, and the ser- vices have l)een well attended. I have had an early celebration of the Holy Eucharist once a month throughout the year, with an average of about ten communicants, and it is in St. Martins itself that the work is most hopeful. There are two outside stations, viz., Tynemouth Creek and Greer Settlement, at each of which service has been held once a month, but the number of Church people in these places is very small. Soon after coming to the parish I organized a Bible Cfass, and the average weekly attendance has been about twenty. On November 12 last His Lordship the Bishop visited St. Martins and confirmed 27 persons, 23 of whom have since become com- municants. As the number of Church people is so small the matter of raising the $400 assessment is one of considerable difficulty. Our Sunday-school is in a flourishing condition, and recently, with the help of the Bishop, we were enabled to get a new library from the S. P. C. K. in England. Some necessary repairs are badly needed on the rectory, and I am afraid we shall be compelled to m ::. i::'; *i ^iji '•■•ii v^M 68 persons baptized-T miant deaths.

The parishioners generally have nobly exerted themselves to support the D. C. S., and to acknowledge the great and generous help given to this parish by the D. C. S. for many months after the disastrous fires in 1893. The record of work briefly for the past year is as follows : • Services — Sundays, 260; week days, 156; holy days, 71.

O. S. NEWNHAM. The work of the Church in an old settled parish like that of St. Stephen does not present much material from year to year for the relating of stirring incidents. We desire to assure the D. C. Society that our interest in the Home Mission work of the diocese does not flag. It is quite true that for the past year or so we have not been able to give as much to the funds of the Society as we would, but when it is stated that the congregation of Christ Church is made up nearly altogether of working people, that it is not a large congregation, and that during the past three years we have lost from our yearly income, by removals from the parish, and from other causes, not less than .$300, the reason this decrease is explained. The congregation is actually giving $200 per annum more than it was three years ago. I am glad to be able to report that, although the town of St. Stephen has not increased in population, yet our congregations are larger than they were, and that we have also more communi- cants and a greater number of scholars attending Sunday-school. I also thankfully testify to the peace and harmony which exist in our congregations, and the hearty and loyal support which I con- stantly receive in all Church work. Last summer the Young Women's Guild, which since its formation several years ago has done much for the Church in the parish, supplied the money to paint the exterior of the church, which has much improved its appearance. The Guild has also done much to improve the church grounds. tif f''. m ; ■ '■' «l '¥■'4 ■■■J ..

Milltown is this year giving $50 towards the rector's stipend, and two members of the parish vestry, as also one of our delegates to the D. C. Society, belong to that congregation. In conclusion we congratulate the Diocese on having cele- brated its jubilee, and assure the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop, and the D. C. Society, of our loyal and hearty support in Dio- cesan and Church work. SHEDIAC— REV. A. F. B. BURT. Though conscious of many defects and shortcomings, through the good hand of our God upon us we, are very thankful to be able to report a year of successful progress in this parish, with, per- haps, more evidence of the fruits of our labours than often falls to the lot of the workers in the Master's vineyard — much more, truly, than we have either deserved or dared to hope. Most gratefully do we record it, that all may rejoice with us and praise God for His goodness towards us. In spiritual things we have plain proofs of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the altered lives and conduct of many of our number; visible strivings for a closer personal union with and service of the Divine Head of the Church: surely it is true that is said, "My word shall not return unto me void." Several communicants have been added to our list; most of whom, though confirmed many years ago, have never come to the Lord's table at all, or have for a long time totally neglected the sacred memorial of a Saviour's love. Others have voluntarily presented themselves for confirmation, and will receive the rite in August, when we expect a visit from the Bishop. Sunday afternoon services have been opened up on the Dorchester road; and the services on' the Moncton road are held twice a month, instead of monthly, as heretofoie. These services are exceedingly well attended, both by the Church members and also persons of all denominations. This summer, there are four Sunday-schools in various parts of the parish; all superintended by earnest laymen, and doing a good work. 71 Still ler; ,tion jrear, ving arish ilong p cele- isbop, aDio- je ihrougb , be able itb, per- fcen falls ch more, Most us and hings we Christ in visible of the id, "My nunicants onfirmed at all, or orial of a themselves when we ip on the id are held ese services embers and are are four ,erintended The various agencies, auxiliary to the chief work of the Church, maintain their efficiency, with the exception of the Women's Aid, which, finding but little field for its energies in a country place like this,, has suspended its operations. The parish club does good work in bringing the young people socially , together; and, during the coming winter, we hope to extend its character in the direction of literary improvement. The mem- bers of the choral class, by most faithful and painstaking study, have materially improved the musical rendering of the psalmody in the services. At St. Andrew's Church, several young people have united in carrying on a small business, supplying some wants of summer visitors, and they devote the profits of their venture to the fund for re-laying the foundations of the church. This is an especially commendable effort, being purely voluntary on the part of the promoters who take all risks of their business, and do not seek the prestige of the name or auspices of the Church to aid them in any way. The sum of $235.00 has been paid off the debt upon St. Martins, and a temporally vestry-room ceiled in and furnished in the tower, which will serve until the contemplated enlargement of the chancel is accomplished, when a permanent vestry will be added in its proper place. The Church of St. Andrew's has been repaired and painted at a cost of over $135.00; the money needed for that purpose having been placed on the offertory plates at the harvest thanks- giving service last Octol>er. For these things which our people have so lovingly done, we desire only to exalt the name of Him alone, by the power of whose gracious Spirit — none other than that — they are influ- enced to labour in His name. Our defects, unquestionably, are legion: O for grace to overcome them! Our greatest need, perhaps, is the need of earnest prayer: prayer which wrestles with God, and will not let Him go except He bless us. This ought to be far more general among our people than it is, and must be, before the fullest blessing of God can rest upon our parish. It is wonderful how many people have put the wrong foot forward! — how many would have one look upon them us "staunch — good — Churchmen," before they have sought to con- secrate themselves to be personal followers — "copiers" — of the Lord Jesus! What need there is to remember and obey the word, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteous- ness," that "all these things" may be added after. -V -il n SIMONDS— RET. L. A. HOYT. t! 1 1 My report, this year, has in it nothing new nor strange, but must be a simple record of work done in humble hope of the Divine blessing. Many kind friends have given me much encour- agement by showing their sympathy with the parish in kind words and in a more substantial manner. I may mention a donation of Bibles from Trinity Church, a surplice through the Reverend Canon DeVeber, a cash donation to the parish from two organizations of St. Paul's (1, the little children of St. Paul's; 2, the missionary girls of St. Mary's), Sunday-school papers from Miss Wesley, of St. John, an altar cloth and dosel for Red Head, from some friends in St. John. Mrs. Medley has continued her remembrance of the parish by presenting an altar cloth to Loch Lomond. • The Golden Grove organ fund was closed by a donation from the Bishop and the rector of St. Mark. For all this I express my thanks. ' " Many kind friends are thanked for their contributions to an organ fund at St. Thomas's Church, Black River, so that we hope that we may have an organ for that church by October. I found the country in the neighbourhood of All Saints' Church, Loch Lomond, so depopulated, that I felt obliged to divide that district, and, following the population, to hold ser vices at Garnett's and Upper Loch Lomond. I find the change to be a profitable one. The Bishop of the diocese held confirmations at St. Thomas's Church, Black River, and at Red Head, which has been a great source of strength to the parish. The thanks of the parish are due to Mr. Corbyn Whoolton, through whose generosity a title has been secured for a grave- yard at Golden Grove, around which a substantial fence has been erected by the parishioners. Upon a review of the year's work, I find much for which I feel thankful and encouraged. SPRINGFIELD- REV. A. J. CRESSWELL. The services of the Church in this parish have been conduct- ed regularly during the past year. That the people certainly appreciate their privileges is shown by their regular attendance at the services, and also their hearty responses.

We were glad to welcome the Bishop on April 17th, for the pur- pose of confirmation. The roads were particularly bad, and yet the churches were filled by devout congregations, and the impres- sive addresses of the Bishop were listened to with rapt attention; 30 were confirmed and have since become constant communicants. There has also Ijeen material improvement in the parish. Trinity Church has l)een beautified by the addition of eight new windows, with roughened glass, similar in shape to the east window. The beautiful graveyard, too, has been improved by a new substantial wire fence, with cedar posts. I feel that we now possess one of the best country parish churches in the diocese. The rectory, too, has been thoroughly painted, and the barns repaired. The "Women's Aid" has rendered substantial financial support to the Church in this parish. In the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude we have placed two large hanging reflector lamps. Weekly meetings are held in the rectory under the presidency of the rector's wife. We are indebted to Mrs. Medley for her kind gift of altar linen, made last week. I feel I cannot conclude this report without referring to many kind acts shown me by my parishioners and others during my nine years incumbency. VICTORIA — REV. W. H. BARNES. 'i -i'ifl m Thomas's a great hoolton, a grave- ence has • which I I conduct- certainly .ttendance ference to This parish, after a vacancy of some fifteen months, obtained a rector in November, 1894. The i-esult of eight month's work, so far as it can be traced by outward signs, gives reason for much thankfulness and encouragement. The work of re-build- ing the church destroyed by fire in February, 1893, has been commenced, and will, it is hoped, go steadily on. The financial strain, however, has been for some time past, and still is, heavy upon this self-supporting congregation, neither large in point of numbers, nor containing any wealthy members. The amount contributed to the funds of the D. C. S. must therefore necessarily fall below what the people would like to give. But with the Divine blessing we hope in another year to be able to do more towards the maintenance and extension of the Church in the diocese. '■'■■■*■ I 1-r 1:1*1 ;im 74 WATERFORD AND ST. MARKS SMITHERS. REV. ALLAN W. ■11 ! During the past year the most notable event in our parish life was the visitation of the Lord Bishop of the diocese, when forty-five persons received the holy rite of confirmation. Large classes were piesented in Waterford and in the sister parish of St. Marks ; and the Bishop most cheerfully undertook a journey to Cedar Camp, when a dying man and his wife received " the laying on of hands." His Ijordship spent two days with us, like a true apostle, '* confirming the souls of the faithful, and exhort- ing them to continue in the faith." During the fall and winter n)onth8 I have to report a slight falling off in the average attendance at Divine service, owing to the fact that almost two-thirds of our men were engaged in lum- bering in the vicinity of Little and Big Salmon Rivers, at Goose Creek, and at Point Wolfe. Since Easter, however, there has been a marked improvement in the average attendance, alike in the churches which I serve and in the school-houses and halls where services from time to time are held. Of the seven marriages registered since last July, six were, I am glad to report, solenmized in the church ; with three exc( p- tions, all the children baptized have been brought to the church, and in almost every case the mothers have complied with the Church's rule, making their thanksgiving after child-birth befoie the service of public baptism. At Waterford, thanks to the unceasing efforts of the Sewing Guild and the voluntary labour of many of our parishioners, a tower has been added to the parish church, and our new bell — the gifts of our female communicants — has been placed in position, and now calls together the faithful for prayer and for praise. It has been calculated that about one-half of the expense in connection with the building of the tower has been saved by voluntary labour. The tower is fifty-five feet high, with open belfry, and is surmounted by the emblem of our faith. The churchyard has been fenced in, and an effort is being made to improve and beautify the approach to the church. The services at the mission room of St. Marks, Sussex, have been very well attended during the past twelve months, our numbers being considerably augmented by friends from the ad- jacent parish of Holy Trinity, Sussex. nii£ Wti us anc Jl w. iivrish when Large ish of urney " the H, like xhort- slight nng to in lum- ) Goose ?re has ilike in id halls were, I } exc< p- church, vith the h befoie Sewing ioners, a »v bell — aced in • and for expense saved by ith open fch.

Fairwcather for his generous acceptance of an offer which saves our vestry alnn)st 820.00 a year. At Jeffries' Corner, and at our other outposts, the services seem to be appreciated, and the peo|)le appear to l)e gradually rising to a sense of their responsibilities as members of the Church. I must add one word alx)ut our Sunday-school work, which always presents peculiar ditliculties in a country mission. We have, at present, four schools, two of which were kept open during the past winter. In response to the lenten appeal, our little ones raised for the "Children's Special Mission Fund" the sum of $7.2u ; and for the Bishop Medley Memorial Fund, 15.00. About 815.00 has been expended in purchasing supplies for bur schools; and recentiy we have added forty new books to one of our libraries. This year the mission has been fortunate in securing the services, as lay reader, of Mr. Arthur Cowperthwaite, who ha* just graduated from the University of New Brunswick. The work in connection with this mission is such, that I think the B. H. M. would be justified in giving a little assist- ance during the summer season, as I must confess my inability to continue certain new phases of work taken up unless some help is given. At present, I have usually four services every Sunday, and, in addition, I am obliged to superintend a Sunday- school, and conduct a Bible-class. In conclusion, I must make reference to the loss which the mission has sustained in the death of the late Rev. Alfred Weeks, whose ready lielp and loving advice did so much to cheer us in our work. His work and his worth, liis tender sympathy, and his generosity, will long remain green in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in peace. WESTMORLANI)— REV. D.

In reviewing the past year of the history of this mission there are not a few events of interest to recall. We look hack to the last meeting of the Synod and Society as held in Wood- stock, lx)th as an event full of pleasant reminiscences, and km having quickened and enlarged the interest of many among us in the welfare of the Churcli throughout the diocese. Woodstock. — In January last a chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was formed, and it has already done good work in fulfilment of its "rule of service." I have had the valuable assistance for the past six months of Mr. Harry B. Smith, Lay Reader, from the Diocese of Niagara, and hope to retain his help for some time longer, until he returns to Trinity College, Toronto, to further pursue his studies in preparation for Holy Orders. Of those whom it has pleased God to call from us to their rest, I would mention the names of Maria and Caroline Ketchum, the elder sister following the younger within a few days. Their love for the Church, and their faith in their Divine Redeemer, were shewn in all their life of loving service. "They were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided." Just before they were called away they had added the sum of $500 to the endowment of the parish, an example which ought to and might well be followed by many as a return for the many blessings enjoyed by them in the Church during their lifetime. I still continue to have the grateful assistance of a faithful staff of teachers} in our Sunday-school, with Mr. W. M. Connell as the superint(5ndent. The Women's Aid Association is, as ever, untiring in its labours, and the branches of St. Agnes Guild still bestow their loving and reverent care in our churches.

In lieu of the services at Victoria Corner T have l)egun, witli the consent of His Ijordship the Bishop, regular monthly ser- vices at Hartland, a growing village in the parish of Brighton, near Victoria Corner, on the opposite bank of the rivei St. John, where there are a good numl)er of memJ)ers of the Church veiy desirous of its ministrations. I am looking with good hope to the time when the parishes of \Vakefield, Brighton, and possibly Northampton, may l)e set off as a separate mission, and when I may confine my work to Woodstock, which affords ample scope for more power and energy than I can boast of. I wish in conclusion to express my grateful thanks for the unvarying kindness which has been shown me by the memljers of the Church, throughout the whole mission, for all the past years of my ministry among them, giving me good reason for l)eing assured that there is at least not any very wide alienation in thought and feeling between priest and people. Reports received too late for insertion in their place will be found inserted before the subscription lists farther on. C. A.

Id in very id to the (ciety and Led unani- The resolutions suhmitted by the Committee are as follows ; Resolved, That this Society records its sense of the serious loss which has been sustained by the Church in the Diocese, by the death of three of its faithful memliers during the past year : L_ The Reverend James Neales. The Reverend Alfred Horatio Weeks. Benjamin Lester Peters^ Esquire, Jwlge of the County Court. By the death of the Rev. James Neales the Society has lost one of its oldest members, and the diocese one of its most devoted clergy. Ordained in July, 1845, Mr. Neales has laboured continuously for nearly half a century in the ministry ■of the Church with exemplary zeal and devotion, and with much acceptance to the congregations committed to his care. To his own great credit, four of his sons entered the sacred ministry, and proved themselves to be faithful labourers in the Ijord's vineyard. The Rev. Alfred H. Weeks was educated at King's College, "Windsor, Nova Scotia, and, having been admitted into Holy Orders in 1847, spent, with the exception of a few years, the whole of his ministerial life in the work of the Church in this diocese. He was highly esteemed by the different congrega- tions to which he ministered, for his simple devotion and faithful discharge of the duties of his office. A short time before his death, he became possessed of a few thousand dollars, which he bequeathed to King's College, Windsor, and to the Incapacita- ted Clergy Fund of the Diocese. In favour with God and man, he passed to his rest and reward on January 28, 1895. His Honour Judge Peters was a very faithful son of the Church, and was ever ready to devote his great intellectual powers to obtain a better understanding of her mysteries and teachings. His happiest hoig:i^ were spent in the enjoyment of her services and rites. Whilst ever ready to assist in the main- tenance and advancement of her highest interests by his valuable counsel, he never failed to respond generously to her claims for support and extension. ft I I i«aoBJ«j ■TOon«)8 Baq94nii3 ■usqaidN qsjnqo Vm s ^'5 sr g !> r-> D5 t fl ?H ' ^ ^ 5' S? ^. iS' ^.

To the Right Rev. the President, and to the Executive Committee of the Diocesan Church Society: The Finance Committee beg to report the following trans- actions since their appointment in July last. (I.) 1. A second mortgage for $1,700, at 5 per cent., has been taken on the S. K. Foster estate property, with leave to the mortgagors to pay the same off by instalments. The former mortgage held by the Society has been reduced by payments of instalments from $1 3,000 to 1 1 1 ,000. 2. The sum of $6,000, at 6 per cent., has been loaned to Mrs. Ellen Dunlap, on the security of her bond and of mortgage of properties in Moncton valued at $10,300. 3. The Rev. C. A. S. Warneford has been allowed the sum of $23 for expenses and services in collecting the income from the Robert Robinson lands at Canterbury, and the Committee recommend that 5 per cent, on income received be allowed here- after for services in seeing to the pioperty and collecting such income. 4. Leases to Mrs. Margaret McBeath, of a lot on Harrison street, and to Justus G. Lake, of a lot on the corner of Brindley and Waterloo streets have been completed. 5. The Treasurer has been authorized to invest funds in Province 6 per cent, debentures at a rate that will yield 4^ per cent. 6. An insurance policy on the life of the late Rev. James Neales having l)ecome payable on his decease, steps have been taken to collect the amount due thereon. The amount received is to be held by the Society for the benefit of the unmarried daughters of the late Rev. Jas. Neales, and on their marriage or dealh, for the benefit of the rector of St. John's Church, Gage- 121 1 ; >l' rauies been seived larried |age or Gage- town. During any vacancy in that Parish the profits go to the General Purposes of the Society. 7. A copy of the will of the late Mr. George F. H. Minchin has been under consideration by the Committee. It seems doubt- ful whether, under the conditions of the will, any amount will be payable to the Society from his estate. 8. Mr. George E. Fairweather has paid in the sum of $100, being legacy to the Society by the will of the late Walter C. Fairweather. 9. The Committee have had before them an application for a loan of from $7,000 to $7,500 to the corporation of St. George's Church, Moncton, to aid in the building of a new church ; the security offered to consist of the land on which the parsonage now stands and the church will be erected, with the buildings thereon. They regret that they feel unable to recommend ap- proval of this loan. They are of opinion that a valid mortgage could not be made unless a special Act of Assembly was obtained, and they think it very undesirable that a church building or parsonage should, even in that way, be made subject to any mortgage claim. 10. The Committee have had before them reveral appli- cations for advances of small amounts on mortgage of properties at a distance from St. John and Frederictoa. These have not been entertained, the Committee being of opinion that it is de- sirable generally to confine any such investments to cases of larger amounts, in connection with which an actual inspection can be had. In the case of the Dunlap advance at Moncton, the properties were inspected by Messrs. C. F. Kinnear and J. Roy Campbell on behalf of the Society, at the expense of the mort- gagor, and the papers prepared by the Solicitor appointed by the Finance Committee, also At her expense. St. John, N. B., 2nd January, 1895. The Finance Committee beg to report the following trans- actions since their last report. , , , . 1. The following securities have been purchased : $1,500 Province 6 per cent, debentures at 115^, maturing 1905, and $500 Province 6 per cent, debentures at 117^, matur- ing 1907, theseyield 4^ per cent. t ■ '' H'iii IS ?--1 • ,"1- % 122 Two Water and Sewerage Debentures of £250 each, at 124 per cent., maturing 1917, and yielding 44 per cent. Three Water and Sewerage Debentures of ^400 each, at 125 J, maturing 1917, and yielding 4^ per cent. $5,600 University of Mount Allison 4 per cent. Debentures, at par. $5,000 Fredericton Water 5 per cent. Debentures, at 104|, ma- turing Ist August, 1907, and yielding 4^ per cent. 2. The sum of $1,000 has been loaned to Robert Barbour on bond and mortgage at 5 per cent, interest, secured on property on Prince William St eet, St. John ; and the sum of $2,920, proceeds of the late Rev. James Neales' life insurance received by the Society, has been placed on deposit in the Bank of Nova Scotia at 3| per cent. 3. Repairs have been effected on the Scovil building, North Market Wharf, at a cost of $43.26. 4. In January last your Committee reported that a lease to Justus G. Lake, of a lot on the comer of Brindley and Waterloo streets, hac^ been arranged for ; as Mr. Lake sold his interest to one Henry Calhoun, the Treasurer was authorized to issue the lea*»e to Mr. Calhoun direct, at Mr. Lake's request. 5. Owing to Mr. Thomas McAvity having notified your Committee that unless the interest on the two McAvity mort- gages was reduced from 6 per cent, to 5 per cent, he would pay the mortgages off, your Committee have agreed to make the re- duction on satisfactory new bonds being given, and to this Mr. McAvity has agreed. 6. Subject to your approval your Committee have received from the Rev. S. Jones Hanford the sum of $1,200 upon trust, to pay him interest at 4 per cent, during his life, and after his decease the income to be applied to the General Purposes of the Society, the same to be known as the James T. Hanf. rH Trust. 7. In consequence of $10,000 having been taken from the Chipman Trust and placed in the General Purposes Account, in order to make the loan on the E. I. Simonds mortgage, the Treasurer has been authorized to replace the $10,000 with Prov- ince of New Brunswick and Province of Nova Scotia debentures. 8. Your Committee recommend that, except where deben- tures are specially appropriated to any funds, 4 per cent, interest only, instead of 6 per cent., be allowed to the special funds. 123 4 per 125^, es, at ^, ma- i,rbour aperty arance in the North ease to [aterloo rest to iue the 9. Mr. George F. Baird, the assignee of the lease granted to the Messrs. Chesley, has asked that the rent, which is now $154, be reduced to one-half while the property is idle, or that some other arrangement be made. Your Committee have agreed to reduce the rent to $100 while the property is idle, provided the assignee guarantees payment during that time. 10. The box in the Bank of Nova Hcotia having become too small for the Society's securities, your Committee have ordered that, in addition, a box be obtained and placed in the Bank of New Brunswick, at a rent of $5 per year.

There was an old item of $20.50 due from this mission which the Board have remitted in consequence of a heavy expense which the parish incurred in the removal of the parsonage. Bay Verte. On the expiration on the first of October last of the grant of $500 made in 1893, the Board made a grant of $300, on condition of a contribution of $150 for the services of a lay reader, the rector of Amherst having agreed to visit the mission every month for baptisms and celebration of the holy communion, and whenever required for the visitation of the sick. During the past month the Board authorized the Bishop to make a new arrangement with the Rev. C. F. Wiggins, Rector of Sackville, to give regular services monthly in the mission. The details of this arrangement will be duly reported as soon as they are submitted to the Board. ? Edmundston. The Board made a grant of $150 upon con- dition of a contribution of $100 for monthly services to be supplied by Rev. J. R. Hopkins, until such time as the mission can arrange for a resident clergyman. Cambridge. Having been informed that the income received by the rector from glebe and church lands was only at the rate of $75.78 per annum, instead of $96.00, as per schedule 01 1894, acd the mission having lost the parsonage during the year, the leceived le rate |{ 1894, lar, the - 125 Board have increased the grant, so as to make the total stipend $780 a year to first instant, according to the rule of the General Committee. Gordon and Lorne, In December last the Board were in- formed that two persons who contriVjuted !$200 had left the mission, and they reduced the amount refjuired from J^315 to $300. In March last, when arrangements were made for Rev. J. R. Hopkins to give monthly services in Edmundston, the Board reduced the grant and contribution, each $50. ■ Greenwich. This mission has made a temporary arrange- ment with Rev. D. W. Pickett, under which, for the present, no grant is required from the Society. Lancaster. In consequence of the re-arrangement of work between this mission and Musquash, whereby a part of the mission of Lancaster, hitherto served by the rector of Musc^uash^ is to be served by the rector of Lancaster, the Board appointed a deputation to visit the mission. Upon the report of the deputation the Board reduced the amount required by $50, and the people of Pisarinco agreed to contribute $50 to the rector to enable him to keep a horse, which had not been necessary until he took up this work. New Maryland. was reduced $5. The amount required from the mission Norton. The Board sent a deputation to this mission, and after a good deal of consultation with the people the mission became self-supporting. Petersville. The Board sent a deputation to meet the- parishioners of Greenwich, Petersville and Westfield, to see if the plan of re-arrangement proposed last year could be carried out. It was found that all the parishes objected to the proposed plan, and eventually it was arranged that Westfield should be- come self-supporting after the first of April last. Petersville agreed to contribute $70 additional, and Greenwich made the arrangement reported above. St. Martins. The Board sent; a deputation to this mission, and upon their report the amount required was reduced to $300 per annum to first of January last, then to be increased to $400. ,',«if;>'-^Ti] ■4 ."'■■-*■"■ 1 . ■■■^';:^:?| 126 Hprinofield. The arrangement proposed last year for re- arrangement of work between this mission and Norton having fallen through, in consequence of Norton l)ecoming self-support- ing, the Board increased the sum re(|uired by $5, as the General Committee had done with other missions in July last. St. Marvs. The Board, having been informed that it was not thought possible to raise the amount required, sent a depu- tation to the mission. The result of the visit was that the amount was fully made up, and a considerable increase created in the interest taken in the work of the Society. The mission and the Society are much indebted to his Honour the Lieutenant Governor for his services in this connection. Widows and Orphans Spkcial Fund. An application was made for a grant from this fund, which the Board were unable to grant under the rules, a grant to the same applicant having been made in 1890. Outfit Grants. The following outfit j^rants have been made subject to the usual conditions : Rev. W. LeB. McKiel $250.00 Rev. A. J. A. Gollmer 250.00 Rev. R. W. Colston 250.00* Divinity Students. A grant of $150 was made to the Bishop to defray the expenses of divinity students working during the summer months under the direction of his Lordship. This has been paid out as follows : Mr. H. A. Cody $50.00 Mr. E. W. Gardner 50.00 Mr. E. R. Cumming 50.00 . . . . $150.00 Divinity Scholarships. A grant of $150.00 was made out of the income of this fund to Mr. H. A. Cody, subject to the rules. ScoviL Trust. The income of this trust was $80 short of the amount required to the end of July last, which amount the Board authorized the Treasurer to pay out of the general funds. *Only$aOO drawn. 127 r re- ving port- neriil , was depu- b the eated ission enant »n was mable laving B been )0 )0* to the orking rdship. ;150.00 ide out to the hort of unt the funds. This fund has again fallen $39.7 6 short of the amount required to Ist instant, which amount must be made up in the same way. Annual Statement for S. P. G. The Board submit here- with a copy of the statistical statement furnished to the vener- able Society for the Propagation of the (Slospel for 1894 : 23 missions (of which 8 are vacant) sent no returns. 19 missions failed to forward the collections required by the venerable Society. 3 missions — Johnston, Petersville and St. David — sent two collec- tions each. ' Deputations. Eight deputations from the Board visited different parts of the diocese during the year. In addition to those already referred to, a deputation visited some of the missions in the deanery of Chatham in May last, to ascertain if any re-arrangement of work could be carried out there. It was not considered by them desirable to make any alteration at present. S. P. G. Grant. Up to the time of the last meeting of the Board, no advice had been received as to the amount of the grant for 1896. lu the estimate of income for the ensuing year the same amount has been put down as was paid in 1895. New Schedule. It will be remembered that last year the Board stated that in order to bring the expenditure within the income, the net grants should be reduced $2,000.00 The re- duction effected last year was only about one-half that amount, and if all the grants had been used there must have been a large deficit. Several missions were vacant during part of the year, and the result is that we have a balance of twenty-seven dollars on hand at its close. The Board have made every effort to work out still further re-arrangement of work that would reduce grants, but are not able as yet to submit any plan which they can recommend. They therefore recommend the schedule at present in force for adoption for the ensuing year. That schedule shows that if all the grants are used there will be a deficit of $793, unless the voluntary contributions are increased ; and to this must be added m . i.jS .J;,, :1; m I ><1 .■'i'\ 41 rx-\ h' - ! h •■■■i .'■.

The Board express the hope that in this, the Jubilee year of the diocese, the voliiMik|>3i;^ba!C|^ may be much increased. In this way only can we avolathe 'dfsgrace of closing missions, or reducing grants, already in many cases far too small. The estimate of income and expenditure for next year, and the returns and minutes of business of last year, accompany this Respectfully submitted, By order of the Board, Moncton, July 2, 1895. GEO.

Report of the Committee on Interesting Sunday-scliools in Home ilissions and on tlie Promotion of 5unday-schools. • To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop and the General Committee of the Diocesan Church Society of New Brunswick : The Commit ee beg to submit the following report : This year your committee put forth a new scheme, with the hope of increasing the interest of the Sunday-school children in the support of our home missions, and of promoting a like interest in providing funds, for helping poorer Sunday-schools in the diocese, to procure library, prayer and hymn books, or indeed anything which was necessary to aid on this branch of the Church's work. With this two-fold object in view, your committee issued an Advent appeal, with his Lordship's approval, and 3,000 copies were distributed throughout the diocese. The children were a.sked to contribute to a separate fund, to be called " The Children's Mission Fund," and your committee request that it be kept a distinct fund, of which a report of its receipts and disbursements be submitted by the treasurer, to be furnished by this committee to each Sunday-school so contribut- ing. This neW device is pradtically an attempt on the part of the committee to give, first of all, our children their proper and distinctive place of duty and responsibility in the Church, and secondly, by collecting together their contributions into one common and recognized fund, that they may thereby be encouraged and influenced to work for their Church. And, above all, your committee earnestly desired to stimulate that great Christian principle of Love among our children by assisting other Sunday-schools who may not have the same advantages as they have in the way of library and service books, but which may be supplied through the liberality of the strong towai-ds the weak. Your committee recommend to this General nf 'i- ' 'I ' ^ ■ ' I no Committee that one-third of the amount of " The Children's Mission Fund " be granted to the first part of Ol)ject 3 of Article IX in the constitution of this Society, which is " Aid to Sunday and other schools in which Church principles are taught," the balance to be devoted to the General Purposes -Fund of the Society. It will be for this General Committee to make any further arrangements necessary for the working of this fund in the matter of making grants from time to time according to Object 3. The Advent appeail was followed by printed post cards, which were sent out to all the clergy, reminding them of the approach- ing season of Lent, and soliciting the children's Lenten offerings towards the above fund. A thousand missionary lx)xes were specially ordered, but only 752 were asked for, and this number only was distributed, as against 935 sent out last year. The remainder are on hand for future use. Your committee are grateful to be able to make the follow- ing statement of results, which shows a promise of still greater success, if only the clergy and Sunday-school workers will inter- est themselves in the work and support the efforts of your com- mittee to enhance its welfare. The report in the main explains itself, but there are one or two points in it which ought co receive special attention. The total sum of children's offerings reported as being con- tributed in the seasons of Advent and Lent is $928.54. This result is satisfactory, as it is far ahead of any previous efforts put forth by our children in these two seasons of the Christian year. There are four divisions in the report which cover the whole ground of our children's offerings, and which show exactly what amount has been subscribed to each. 1 Total amount of offerings to the Children's Mission Fund $347 18 2 Total aradunt of voluntary offerings to the General Purposes Fund 112 01 3 Total amount of offerings to Diocesan objects already appropriated 214 79 4 Total amount of offerings to missionary and other objects outside the Diocese 254 56 Total $928 54 whole what 141 V Your committee regret in one sense that the offerings for the two first objects are not larger: together they total )?4o9.19, which sum is a net gain to the working funds of the Diocesan Church Society. The amount reported last year was .$468.17. The difference is at once apparent by the absence this year of any contributions from the following parishes, which last year subscribed the following amounts : Portland .«59 00 St. Mark 15 08 . Hampton 1 2 80 St. Mary 10 8.5 ■ St. John Sunday-school Association 20 60 - . Total $118 33 E-ire we have a difference of $1 18.33 from this fi' id. With this exception the report shows an increase from the remaining parishes or missions. Object 3 records the offerings of the children for local pur- poses already appropriated ; for instance : St. Martins . ... . $21 01 " St. Mary 175 00 The first is included in the parish contribution to the General Purposes Fund in connection with this fund's grant to the parish. The second is for the improvement fund of St. Mary's Church. Object 4 is for missionary purposes outside of the diocese. Your committee is only indirectly concerned with this ob- ject inasmuch as it has seriously affected our work in connection with Home Missions. Appeals come into the diocese on behalf of the North-west missions and other places, for offerings at these two seasons of Advent and Lent, and these appeals directly conflict with our own, so much so that some of the clergy are distressed to know what to do. Your committee earnestly hope that something will be done to so arrange matters that these appeals will not in the future conflict. The committee congratulate the chiMren upon their liberal offerings for missionary work, and do not for one moment com- plain of so large a sum going outside of the diocese, for the real '^«:i. i m • strength of the Church at home lies in her missionary support to work abroad, yet, my Lord, they are disappointed that there should be a Sunday-school in the diocese which does not train its children to support Home Missions. Some portion of the Advent and Lenten offerings undoubt edly should be devoted to this object, however small. The Church is suffering to-day through the neglect to train in former years her young to give worthy offerings towards Church support, and your committee appointed by this general body to interest Sunday-schools in Home Missions, now ask for the sym- pathy and support of all churchmen present, cleric and lay members of this General Committee. It is not enough, my Lord, to assemble here to receive and confirm reports read of the various committees' work during the past year, nor yet to elect new committees to carry it on, and then to leave these elected bodies to struggle on with the work as best they may, unheeded and unaided. No, the work de- mands unity of sentiment, unity of action. The report of the children's Advent and Lenten offerings is appended. We submit, respectfully, this report to your serious consider- ation for approval, and hope the efforts humbly put forth by your committee may receive confirmation at your hands. WM.

O'DELL !l . The general work of this parish has been carried on as usual and with many encouraging results. The congregations at our several services have been good, and the number of communi- cants has increased. St. Peter's. Derby, has been painted, the roof shingled, and a new stove and handsome set of lamps pro- vided. St. Agnes's, Grey Rapids, I hope will be finished this year. All our Church property is kept insured. In making my report this year to your venerable society, allow me to say, if we are to retain our hold on this scattered population, more frequent services must be given to them than what they now receive. I can do no more than I am doing. St. Peter's, Derby; Holy Trinity, Blackville; and St. Agnes's, Grey Rapids, ought to have each a regular Sunday service. Cain's River and Renous, one every two weeks. And there are yet left out Indiantown and Chelmsford, where there are Church families who do not attend the services of the Church. To say that they ought to go will not remedy the matter. People will not walk now, as they used to do, five or six miles to church ; and if they won't come to the clergyman, the clergy- man must go to them. I visit all the scattered families as often as I can during the year. But it must be apparent to all who rightly consider this matter that these occasional visits at distant intervals will not supply the place of the due ministrations of the Church. They cannot prevent our people from being absorbed by other bodies of Christians; nor can -they — which is infinitely more deplorable — stem the tide of godlessness and infidelity which assails us on every hand. To remedy the difficulty referred to, I would suggest that the Board of Home Missions give a yearly grant, so that the 189 m were e. clergyman in charge may be able to have the assistance of a deacon or lay reader. In conclusion I desire to thank very much the Church people of this large mission for their kindness to myself and family during the past year, but especially to thank Mr. James Mander- ville and Mr. R. C. Boyce, who took such an active part in presenting us with a handsome sleigh last Christmas. Finally, we ask your prayers, that the blessing of the Divine Master may rest upon the work of the Church in this remote part of the diocese. , ¥ s usual at our nmuni- ed, the ps pro- ed this society, attered m than >ing.

The report from this parish must of necessity be very brief this year. During the time covered by this report (ten weeks), sixty services were held in three churches, with twelve celebra- tions of the Holy Eucharist. The holy season of Lent was marked by special services in the churches ; holy week by daily mattins, with short meditations, in St. Paul's Church, Bright ; and daily evensong with short meditations in the parish church of St. John, Douglas. All these services were well attended. There are three Sunday-schools doing efficient work in the parish. We have introduced the "St. Paul's Manual of Christian Doctrine" into all of these schools. The Church in this parish is deeply indebted to those ladies by whose self-denying laboui-s our Sunday-schools have been kept open, as it is impossible for the rector to take any part in this most important branch of parish work. Baptisms, 1; burials, 1. HARDWICKE— REV. W. J. WILKINSON, M. A. I have nothing special to report this year. The result of the work, as far as one can see, has been as satisfactory as any other year. Whilst, however, the congregations are fairly good, and the majority of the people seem to take an interest in their church, I regret to say the number of communions made during the year is exceedingly small, and I fear it is not from want of instruction that such is the case. I have often thought that a parochial mission might, by God's blessing, not only have the 190 i' I effect of awakening us all to more earnest work, Imt might also arouse the careless and impenitent. If, by God's mercy, this could be accomplished, the visible result of the work would be much greater than it is. At Escuminac there are not mure than three or four families that profess to belong to the Church. I have service there once a month, and, notwithstanding all their drawbacks, it is sur- prising to find the few Church folk there so loyal and compara- tively well informed in Church matters as they are. The majority of the people are Roman Catholics, but there are also many who neither belong to the Church nor any religious organization. I have service at the church at Lower Bay du Vin every Sunday afternoon, and endeavour to catechize the children as often as I can. The congregations keep alx)ut the same, but I cannot say that Church matters are as satisfactory here as I should like, as very few of the Church people who attend the lower church have ever received the holy communion. I am glad, however, to state that they presented me with a sum of money at Christmas, which gave me great pleasure. A deputation having been appointed to visit the northern part of the diocese. Rev. Canon Forsyth and T. B. Robinson, Esq., came to Bay du Vin. A meeting was held in the parish church, and, largely I believe as a result of the meeting, the people generally are straining every nerve to raise the amount of the assessment, viz., ^305. There are about forty families in the parish which belong to the Church, and from what I know of their circumstances I believe that with very few exceptions they give liberally and cheerfully when they are called upon for sub- scriptions to the Church. Several have increased their subscrip- tions, and there seems to be a general disposition on the part of the people to lessen my expenses, as shown by furnishing wood to the rectory. With the prayer that God may be pleased to accept my imper- fect effort to further His work in this portion of His vineyard I humbly submit this report to your venerable society. 191 ;ht also ;y, this ould be families jre once , is sur- ompara- iiiajority any \vho :ion. in every Idren as ne, but I ere as I tend the 1.

I have nothing of a particular character to report for the past year, save that on Monday, October 15, the Bishop confirmed in Trinity Church ten men and fifteen women twenty-five in all — of whom the greater number have become regular commu- nicants. Rather than close any of the four churches on Sunday, the Rev. D. I. Wetmore since Easter last year, has l)epn taking one service every Sundj ' at the charges not of the parish but of the rector. Mr. Wetmore continues to hold fortnightlj' Sunday services at a station just across the borders of this parish. STANLEY— REV. A. B. MURRAY, M. A. I feel thankful that I have been able to keep all my Sunday appointments during the last year, and that the services were well attended and rendered with an increasing heartiness. During three months of last summer when I had the assistance of a lay reader, I was able to hold a few Sunday services over a j the Portage where there is a promising field for Church work. Mr. Cumming of King's College, as lay reader, worked with acceptance and helped riie considerably in extending the Church's ministrations and inflw- u?o throughout the parish. Having accumulated sufficient funds to justify the l)eginning of a new church at Tay Creek, to replace the dilapidated building in which we now worship, the people of that place went to work last winter and cut and hauled sufficient lumber for the purpose. This lumber is now on the ground ready for use, and we intend proceeding with the erection of the building early in the fall, when the new lot of ground kindly given by Mr. James E. Tomilson for this purpose, will be available. On September 9, we had a cheering visit from our beloved Bishop, who, on that day, held three confirmations within this parish and mission. Twenty-five candidates in all were pre- sented. The legister for the past year shows fourteen baptisms, seven marriages, and three burials. ¥^^1. 192 UPHAM — REV. S. J. HANFORD, B. A. I need say but little in my report to the D. C. S. Last year we found that the top of the steeple of our Parish Church wanted to be repaired, and this we had done at an expense of some forty dollars or more. I have carried on the services in the mission pretty much as usual ; though in the upper part of the mission, owing to the absence of the people in the lumber woods, and the state of the roads in the winter, I gave up the services at Hammond for three or four months after Christmas, holding services in other places. I regret, however, to add that this summer my health has failed, and I have had to take rest. Meanwhile, I was fortunate in being able to obtain the services of Mr. Street for a few Sun- days, but after next Sunday (August 11) we shall have to look elsewhere for aid ; but I hope we shall be able to keep the churches open occasionally at least. I have made the returns for the mission as best I could, and am thankful in adding up to find some $94.20 for the year's contribution. The parish register shows — baptisms, 28, of whom 9 were adults; confirmed, 26; marriages, 4; burials, 12; com-' municants, 64. 193 8.

As one moans of increasing the contributions and lessening the difficulties of collection, the Board of Home Missions recom- mends that Weekly Offerings be substituted for Yearly Subscrip- tions, whei-ever practicable. The plan of Weekly Offerings upon the Envelope System has been found to work well in many parts of the Diocese where it has been tried. The first step towards the adoption of this system in a Parish is to ascertain from all the members of the Congregation what sum they are willing to contril)ute at the Weekly Offertory ; and this done — 1. Pledges will be received from the Parishioners for a fixed weekly siun, from one cent to one dollar and upwards, to be given in an envelope at the services on each Sunday. 2. A i)ackage of envelopes will be given to each cot., "ibutor, printed with blanks for name and amount of offering. 3. The Treasurer will enter the amount thus recf d iach week, to the credit of each contributor, in a book t v. Kept exclusively for this purpose. 4;. A stated meeting of the Vestry or Parishioners will be held quarterly; at which meeting the Treasurer will report all' subscriptions in arrears, and at the close of the Parish year will also present all the last year's accoimts of the Parish, which will then be audited and settled. By the above plan the following objects are sought to be accomplished : 1. That not only heads of families, but all in the Parish, old and yoiing, who have any means and earnings of their own, may contribute accord i}ig to their ability to the support of the Church. 2. That they may, as regularly as possible, at the appointed time, briny their pledged Weekly Offerings to Church, instead of paying them at the call of the collector. [Note. — The principle of the Envelope System is not interfered with when, as in exceptional cases, it may be convenient to con- tribute ONCE A FORTNIGHT, Or at any other stated period within the quarter.] 3. That the Parish I'evenue may not fall into arrears and debt be incurred. 4. That the income of the parish may be ?ttnterially inci'eased, so that mainly from this source sufficient provision may be made for the support of the Clergyman. All these objects may be easily attained if the Churchwardens be willingly and efficiently sustained i'n their efforts by those whose representatives they are. The above plan has been adopted, with some variation, in a nuniber of Parishes in several Dioceses, and has been successful. It is hoped that it may receive serious consideration in every Mission in this Diocese, and that it may be generally adopted. lessening ns recoin- Snbscrip- V'stein hfis ; where it 1 a Parish /ion what tory; and 'or a fixed ) be given u, "iluitor, ' (I .jach ( ':.<.: Kept rs will he report all' year will fvhich will ght to be arish, old own, may le Churt^h. appointed instead of interfered nt to con- od within rears and inn'eased, Y be made hwardens by those tion, in a uccessful. n in every lopted. 241 FORMS FOR WILLS.
