" This is only one of many Presbyterian unions which have taken place in the " British colonies within the last hfteon or twenty years.

The experience of otuer colonios and of your own war- " rants thu hope that this union will be followed by the happiest results. You are now a " strong and compact Chuich, roaily to do battle with surrounding evils, and to fulfil the " great mission which God has given you — to pervade with the Ught of the pure gospel " the vast territory now embraced in the Dominion of Canada — and thence to spread the " blessing to thu heathen lauds beyond. " We are thankful to be able to say that the interest taken by our Church in the " colonies, whether it be tested by the ainnint of tho annual collection or the number of " annual appointments, is not dechuing. We enclose a copy of the report laid upon the ■' table of thu late meuling ol our General Assembly, together with a revised report of the " speeches made on the occasion. *' We shall rejoice to maintain the same cordial brotherly relations with the United " Caurch as we have long done with several of the constituent parts of which it is com- •■ posed. We shall be glad to do anything in our power to promote your welfare, so far " as our Umited resources and the many demands upon them will admit.

Hence tlio motion, as put to the vote, was as it originally stood and as is set forth above [67] 40 ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND OliiNEBAL ASSEMBLY Of It was moved in amendment by Mr. McMullen and seconded by Mr. J. W. Smith, Sustain the liefereuce and, inasmuch as it appears from Mr. Macdonnell's verbal explana- tions in the Assembly of his last statement submitted to the Presbytery, and of his present mental attitude in relation to the doctrine of the endless duration of future pun- ishment, that his difficulty is not with the Confession of Faith, the language of which he declares he believes with all his heart, but with the interpretation of Scripture on this doctrine ; and further, seeing that Mr. Macdonuoll has declared that no interpretation of Scriptm-e on tliis subject has a stronger hold on his convictions tliau the one held by the Church, therefore resolved that the Assembly appoint a Committee to meet and confer with Mr. Macdonnell with the viovf of ascertaining the reasons of his doubts, and of giving him brotherly counsel and assistance in reference thereto, and report at a future Sederunt. It was further moved in amendment by Dr. Ure and seconded by Mr. Robert Ham- ilton, That the Assembly, having duly considered all matters connected with the liefer- ence, sustain the same; while expressing regret that Mr. Macdonnell is still in a state of doubt and perplexity on the doctrine of future punishment, yet, inasmuch as he has come to no conclusion on this subject adverso to the teaching of the Confession, but still adheres to the same, and inasmuch as he iHated to the Presbytery tliat he felt it to be unwise to speak in a way not in harmony 'vith the Confession on the particular subject in question when his own mind was in a state of perplexity, and has expressed his regret for doing so, the Assembly, m the hope that Mr. Macdonnell's d :)ubt8 and perplexities may speedily pass away, agroe to accept his statement given in to the Presbytery at its meet- ing on the 30th May last, in which he declares his continued adhesion to the Confession respecting the doctrine in question, and find that no fiu"ther proceedings in the case are necessary. The Assembly at the same time express satisfaction with the fidehty shown by the Presbytery in the interests of truth, and with the fraternal spirit manifested by it in its proceedings in tliis case. Finally, the Assembly consider it to be proper on this occasion to re-atfirra, as they hereby do, the necessity of upholding in its integrity the doctrine involved in this case — a doctrine which they consider to be of incalculable importance both in itseh and in its relations to tue general system of truth set forth in ihe standards of the Church. It was also moved in amendment by Mr. Kenneth Maclennan and seconded by Mr. J. 0. Smith, That the Assembly sustain the iieference ; express their satisfaction with the spirit in which the proceedings of the Presbytery in this case have been conducted, and with the hdelity shown in ma; Gaining the doctrine of tlie CUurch; affirm the neces- sity of upholding in its integrity the doctrine involved in this case — a doctrine so import- ant in itself and in its relation to the general system of truth, as set forth in the stand- ards of the Church; accept Mr. Macdonnell's statement of tiUth Mtiy last, wherein, while acknowledging that he feels certain difficulties on the subject of future punishment, he nevertheless continues his adherence to the teaching of the Confession respecting this doctrine ; and find that no further proceedings are necessary in this case. The following amendment was pri>po8ed by Principal Snodgrass and seconded by Mr. Burton, Sustain the Reference for judgment, and find that, while Mr. Macdonnell has not adopted any opinion at variance with the doctrine of the Church or the teaching of the Confession, he still has thfficulties in reference to the eternity of future punish- ment ; therefore earnestly commend him to the guidance of the Spirit of Truth, praying that, with the Divine blessing upon his further study of the Word of God, these difficulties may speedily cease to perplex his mind, and, now charging huu not to introduce his diffi- culties on this subject into his pubUo teaching, determine not to proceed further in the case. A further amendment was moved by Principal Mo Vicar and seconded by Mr. Laing, [68] . , THE PBESBYTEBUN CHUBCH IN CANADA. 41 Sustain the Reference for judgment ; find that in statements made before this Assembly Mr. Maodonnell has declared that he does not hold the doctrine of everlasting punish- ment in the sense held by this Church and formulated in the Confession of Faith, never- theless that he has adopted no doctrinal views contrary to the Confession , of Faith ; therefore resolved : 1. That the above twofold statement is not satisfactory to this Assembly ; 2. That a Committee be appointed to confer with Mr. MacdonneU in the hope that they may be able to bring in a report as to Mr. Macdonuell's views which may be satisfactory to thiB Assembly. It was also moved in amendment by Dr. Cook and seconded by Dr. Bain, That the General Assumbly sustain the liefereuce and — recognizing and approving the perfect frankness and candour with which Mr. MacdonneU in all his statements has acknowledged his doubts and difficulties in regard to the doctrine of eternal punishment, even while admitting the preporderance of Scriptural evidence in its favour, and when most pressed by the Presbytery to accommodate his statements to their views — discover in his state of mind and feeling, and in his faithfulness to present convictions, ground of assurance that the good Spirit of God will lead him to the knowledge and acknowledgment of all that is essential in the doctrine in (question. It was also moved in ameudmunt by Mr. Thomas Sedgwick and seconded by Dr. Murray, Sustain the Keference for judgmuut and, inasmuch as Mr. Macdonuell's attitude in reference to the momentous doctrine of eturnal punishment as taught in the Word of God and formulated in accordance therewith in the Confession of Faith cannot be regarded as satisfactory, but notwithstanding atibrds grounds for hoping that he will yet be led into the fulness of the truth as regards the same, find that, while this Chuixh cannot in faithfulness to the truth tolerate so grave a defect in the rehgious views of any of her Ministers as Mr. MacdonneU has acknowledged, she can nevertheless aUow this matter to take end in the meantime, in the hope that at no distant day Mr. MacdonneU wiU be able to assure the Church of his perfect accord with her faith in this great doctrine. • It was also moved in amendment by Mr. R. Hall and seconded by Dr. Patterson, Sustain the Reference for judgment, and resolve that this Assembly recognize the fidehty and kindness of the Toronto Presbytery in its deaUngs with Mr. MacdonneU ; regret that his views can-ot yet be held as in accord with the doctrine of this Church on the subject of eternal punishment ; regard with feelings of pain and sorrow the injury to the interests of true reUgion, of wliich he has been the occasion ; lu-ge him to stiU further prayerful consideration of the matter in all its bearings ; and instruct him to report to next meeting of the General Assembly, appointed to be held in the City of Halifax, his position in reference to the doctrine in question. It was further moved in amendment by Mr. Straith and seconded by Mr. Donald Fraser, Sustain the Reference ; commend the Presbytery of Torcito for their faithfulness and gentleness in dealing with the case ; record firm adhesion to the doctrine of the eternal punislunent of the wicked as formulated in the Confession ; and, while not !iccept- iug Mr. Macdonuell's statpment as satisfactory, yet in view of his declaration that he has not arrived at any conclusion at variauco with (he doctrine of the Church, suspend far- ther action in the meantime ; enjoin that he refrain in his public teaching from giving expression to his doubts and diificulties on the doctrine in question ; and hope that he, led by the Divine Teacher, may be able to report himself at the next General Assembly as in fuU accord with the doctrine of the Church. An additional amendment was moved by Mr. James Watson and seconded by Mr. James Patterson, That the Reference be sustainel ; that, in view of the statement last submitted by Mr. MacdonneU to the Presbytery of Toronto, re-affirming his adhesion to the Confession of Faith, and inasmuch as there is not sufficient cause for proceeding by [69] 42 ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OP libel in his case as at present stated, he be not further interrogated, but only cautioned by the General Assembly against unnecessarily disturbing the peace of the Church. Successive votes were taken on the motion and amendments, with the following results, viz, : — Mr. Straitli's amendment was carried over Mr. Watson's by a large majority. Mr. Straith's was carried over Mr. Hall's by a vote of 186 to 120. Mr. Sedgwick's was carried over Mr. Straith's by 151 to 142.

The "yeas" and "nays" having been called for on Dr. McVicar's amendment, now become the motion, it was carried " yea " by a vote of 263 to 101, and the Moderator declared the same to be the judgment of the House. From this decision Dr. Snodgrass dissented for the following reason, viz. : " Because •' Mr. Macdonnell has this evening fully and clearly stated his views to the Assembly, " and because the course which the Assembly has resolved to take is not fitted, unless by " undue constraint, to bring his views into '' \'. accord with the accepted doctrine of the " Church."

In the same place, and on tlw sa/tne dity, at n%lf-past seven o'clock in lite evening : — The General Assembly of the I'rosbytorian Church in Canada mot pursuant to ad- journment, and was constituted.

The Assembly resumed consideration of the report of the Conimitteo appointed in terms of the deliverance on the llofereuco from the Presbytery of Toronto. Tho House resolved itself into Committee of tho Whole. Mr. William Fraser was called to the chair. The report of the Committee, under consideration, is as follows, viz. : — . [80] THE PBESBYTEItUN OHUBOH IN CANADA. 88 The Committee beg leave to report to the General Assembly that Mr. McDon- nell met with them and stated that, while he was desirous to meet the wishes of the Assembly in regard to conference with the Committee, he respectfully referred them to the statement made on Thursday evening before the Assembly as clearly defining his position, and that the report of that statement, which was published in the Daily Mml, of the IGth instant, is substantially correct. After mature deliberation the Committee agreed to lay before^ the Assembly the following minute for the adoption of the Court. Considering (1) that this General Assembly has already declared that the state- ments of his views, made by Mr. McDonnell before it, are not satisfactory : (2.) That, on meeting with the Committee appointed by the Assembly to confer with him, he signified that he has at present no further statement to make, by which bis position towards the doctrine in question might be modified : (3.) That the doctrine of the eternity or endless duration of the future punishment of the wicked, as taught in the Confession of Faith, is a doctrine of Scripture, which every Min- ister of this Church must hold and teach : The General Assembly feels under ob- ■ ligation to continue its care in this matter. But, inasmuch as Mr. McDonnell has expressed his regret for having preached the sermon which gave occasion for these proceedings, has intimated that his mind is at present in an undecided state as regards the doctrine in question, and has en- gaged, while seeking fuiiaer hght, not to contravene the teachings of the Church ; the Assembly, in the hope that Mr. McDonnell may soon find his views in accord with the Standards on the subject in question — Beaolve, that further time be given him caicfully to consider the matter ; and that ho be required to report, through his Presbytery, to the next General Assem- bly, whether he accept the teaching of the Church on the subject. The Assembly would commend their brother to the guidance of the Spirit of Truth, praying that, with the Divine blessing upon further study of the Word of God, all difiiculties as to the Scriptural evidence of the momentous doctrine con- cerned may speedily cease to perplex his mind. After lengthened deUberation, the following motion and amendments were brought to a vote : — Moved by Dr. McGregor and seconded by Professcr Bryce, Becommend the General Assembly to accept the report of the Committee with the exception of the following clause, viz : " that he be required to report through his Presbytery to tlio next General " Assembly whether he accept the teaching of the Church on the subject." To this it was moved in amendment by Mr. McTavish and peconded by Mr. Thomas Macpherson, That the report as it stands bo adopted. It was also moved in amendment by Principal Caven and seconded by Dr. Waters, 1. Adopt the report with the exception of the clause requiring Mr. Macdonnell to report through his Presbytery to the next General Assembly. 2. Declare that no decision of this case can be satisfactory, which contemplates Mr. Macdonnell's slate of mind respect- ing the doctrine of future punishment, as one which can permanently be allowed in a Minister of this Chiuch. 8. Appoint a Committee to consider under what conditions time can properly be granted to him for further prayerful study of the subject, so as to make it evident that the Assembly is sufficiently careful to protect the truth in question, while showing all due consideration for Mr. Macdonnell in his present state of mental perplexity. A further amendment was moved by Dr. Patterson and seconded by Mr. Sinclair, Recommend the Assembly to adopt the report of the Committee with tho following amend- ment, viz : substituting tho words " that ho be required to report tho state of his opinions, when called upon to do so by tho Supreme Court of this Church," for tho concluding clause in the paragraph before the last, " that he be required to report through his Pres- bytery to the next General Assembly whether he accept the teaching of the Church on the subject." [81] 64 ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF r'i Votes having been taken it was foand that Dr. Patterson's amendment carried over Principal Caven's by a majority of 104 to 57, and Mr. McTavish's amendment cairiod sncceesively over Dr. Patterson's by 122 to 81, and over Dr. McGregor's motion by 127 to 71. The C ommittee rose, the Moderator took the chair, and the Chairman reported that the amendment proposed by Mr. McTavish had become tlio resohition of the Committee. Whereupon it was moved by Mr. Robb and seconded by Mr. McTavish, That the resolu- tion reported from the Committee of the whole House become the finding of the Assem- bly. To this it was moved in amendment by Dr. Patterson and duly seconded, That the report of the Committee of the whole be not received, but that the following be su))sti- tuted therefor : that the report of the Committee on the Reference be adopted with the following amendment, \'iz : substituting the words " that he be required to report the state of his opinions, when called upon to do so by the Supreme Court of this Church," for the concluding clause in the paragi-aph before the last, " that he bo required to report through his Presbytery to the next General Assembly whether he accept the teaching of the Chiu-ch on the subject." A vote having been taken, the motion was carried over the amendment by a majority of 122 to 77. The " Yeas " and " Nays " on this motion having been called for, it was carried " Yea " by a majority of 127 to 64, and the Moderator declared the same to bo the judgment of the House. From this decision Principal Snodgi-asa, in his own namo and in the name of all who may adhere to him, craved leave to dissent for the following reasons, viz. : — 1. Because the Committee, in considering the position of Mr. Macdonnoll, do not. appear to have attached due weiglit to the full statement of his views submitted by him to the Assembly on the evening of Thursday last. 2. Because the report gives an exaggerated representation of Mr. Macdonnell's attitude towards the doctrine in qur ,tion. 8. Because the dehverance of the Assembly is not fitted, except /nndue constraint, to resiilt in the removal of Mr. Macdonnell's difhcultieB. The following members adhered to this dissent and co currcd in all the reasons, viz. : — Dr. Williamson, Dr. Bain, Dr. Bell, Professor Mowat, Professor Mackerras, Pro- fessor Hart, Messrs. Smellie, J. W. Mitchell, WiUiam Donald, Kenneth Maclennan, Mac- donnoll, J. C. Smith, G. M. Grant, T. G. Smith, M. W. Maclean, Robert Campbell (Montreal), W. Meikle, James Wotson, David Mitchell, J.

Wilkins, W. R. Ross, A. H. Cameron, George Yoomans, E. D. McLaren, Malcolm McGillivray, ilfin/s^crs; James Croil, Robert Murray, William Mitchell, George Smith, James Wilson, Elders.

B. Webster, Alexander DuiT, Elders. A Committee, consisting of Mr. Robb, Convener, Professor McLaren and Mr. Mc- Tavish, was appointed to answer the aforesaid reocons of dissent. The Assembly adjourned to meet in this i-laco to-morrow morning at ten o'clock, of which public intimation was made, and this Si o^unt was closed with the Benediction.

The Assembly again took up the report of the Committee appointed to mature mea- sures for this Assembly. Consideration of the section on Home Missions was resumed. The following general regulations in connection therewith were adopted, viz. : — GENERAL REGULATIONS ANENT HOME MISSIONS. 1. Presbyteries are instructed, at an ordinary meeting previous to the first of October in each year, to revise the list of Mission Stations and Supplemented Con- gregations, and make such changes as they may deem necessary, reporting the amended list to the sub-Committees. The list, thus amended, shall form the basis of the operations of the Committee for the then current year. 2. Presbyteries are enjoined to furnish information to the sub-Committees in accordance with the requirements of the above scheme, and to co-operate with the Committee. 8. All congregations and mission stations are enjoined to make an annual con- tribution in the Western section of the church to the Home Mission Fund ; and in the Maritime Provinces to the Home Mission Fund and Supx>lemental Fund. 4. The travelling expenses of members of Committee shall be borne equally by the two Funds, and the cost of all exploring and aggressive misRionary work, under- taken and sanctioned by Presbyteries, shall be de&ayed out of tlie Home Mission Fund. 5. In regard to arrears due by supplemented congregations to their Ministers, these congregations shall be required to report to the Committee, through the Presbytery, in tlie fonii provided, before the beginning of each ecclesiastical year, the amount paid by them as stipends during thu previous twelve months ; and in cases, whore the amount falls short of the stipend promised by them, power shall be given to suspend the pajnnent of the supplements until the arrearages are hquidated. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE REPORTS OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE. At tills stasie the Assembly called for the report of the Committee appointed to con- sider the reports of the Home Mission Committee, as cognate to this subject. The report was presented and read by Mr. Bobert Campbell (Montreal), Convenor. It was agreed to receive the some and consider its recommendations seriatim. The several paragraphs [88] 6G ACTS AND PBOCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF '■:i; . down to that relating to tbo Missionary to British Cohimbia were adopted. A debate arose on this paragi'aph, when it was moved by Mr. McQuaig and seconded by Dr. McGregor, That the recommendation of the Committee bo adopted. To this it was moved in amendment by Professor Bryce and seconded by Mr. McMullen, That the clause refer- ring to Mr. Jamieson and his congiegatit n be omitted, and that the matter referred to therein be remitted to the Homo Mission Committee for consideration. A vote having been taken the motion was cerried over the amendment and became the judgment of the House. From this finding Mr. King craved leave to enter his dissent. The next paragraph of the report was allowed to lie on the table until next Assembly. Said paragraph is as follows, viz : " It is recommended that the Committee on Home •' Missions shall in future be composed of representatives of Presbyteries, one from each, '* appointed by them at their first meeting after the General Assembly, and that the " General Assembly shall appoint only the Conveners and Secretaries of the two sections " of the Committee." Tho next paragraph was adopted. A debate took place on the one subsequent thereto, when it was moved by Mr. R. Hall and seconded by Mr. Alex. Dawson, That a collection be taken up in all the congregations in tho Western section of tho Church, with a view to remove the del"; existing on the Home Mission Fund. To this it was moved in amendment by Mr. D. H. Fletcher and seconded by Mr. J. C. Smith, That the recom- mendation of the Committee be adopted. A further amendment was proposed by Dr. Proudfoot and seconded by Mr. J. W. Mitchell, That the recommendation of the Com- mittee be adopted, and that in the meantime the Treasurer be empowered to borrow money buffioient to pay *.he claims on the Homo Mission Fund, now greatly overdue. Votes having been taken. Dr. Proudfoot's amendment was carried successively over the first amendment and the motion, and became the judgment of the House. The remaining paragraphs of the report, slightly amended, were adopted. In accordance with the recommendations of the Committee, amended as above, the General Assembly, on motion of Mr. J. W. Mitchell, duly seconded, resolved as follows, viz.: — 1. Cordial thanks are due, and are hereby given, to the Homo Mission Com- mittee for their valuable semces, and especially to Dr. Cochrane, Convener of tho Western sub-Committee, as well us to Mr. G. M. Grant, Convener, o'- ": Dr. Mc- Gregor, Secretary of the Eastern sub-Committee, whose zealous and arduous labours have contributed so largely to the success of the Home Mission work of the Church during the past year. 2. In view of the outlay incurred by Dr. Cochrane in attending to the busi- ness of Home Missions, and in procuring tho assistance necessary to overtake it, a grant of two hundred dollars (ft'iOO) is hereby made to him for the past year ; and the Assembly recognize the great aid rendered to the Convener by Mr. 11. H. Warden, who acted as Secretary of the Western section of the Committee. 3. The sum of fifty dollars ($50) is hereby granted to the Rev. R. Toi-rance for expenses incurred as Convener of the sub-Committee on the distribution of Probationers for the Western section of the Church, whose diligence in that capacity the General Assembly commend as of great value to the Church. 4. The thanks of the Assembly are gratefully accorded to the Church of Scot- land, the Free Church of Scotland and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, for their liberal contributions towards this branch of the work of our Church as a recognition on their part of the claims of Presbyterians who have left the British Isles, and of their descendants in Canada — as an evidence to us of the continued interest and sympathy of our co-religionists at homo — and as a token of tho good- will of these Churches, as well as of their desire to co-operate wilh us in our eflforts to supply Gospel ordinances to the people of this Dominion. The General Assembly heartily accept the generous offer of the Free Church of Scotland to send Missionaries to labour in Canada, partly at the expense of that Clnu-oh, who will be welcomed even if they remain in the country for only a limited time : and the Assembly echo the hope of the Convener of the Colonial Committee of the [84] THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA. 57 Free Ghnroh that snoh service, instead of being a bar to preferment, will rather open the way to it, if they desire to return to their native land. 5. The Assembly appreciate the important services rcndaed to the Church by the Students' Missionary Associations connected with our Colleges ; and, in order to secure the best results from their operations, desire Prosbytories to point out to the Associations such fields within their bounds as may be taken up by the students with advantage. 6. The General Assembly, while preferring that all mission work in British Columbia, as it is a part of the Dominion, were conducted nominally in connection with this Chm-ch, and hoping that matters may soon shape themselves in that di- rection, meanwhile express their satisfaction at the Uberal provision made for sus- taining ordinances in that Province by the Church of Scotland. Mr. .lamieson, our Missionary in that Province and his congregation are hereby allowed, if they see fit, to connect themselves with the Presbytery of British Columbia, in connection with the Church of Scotland — the grant proposed by the Committee to be sanctioned and continued, and his relation to the Ministers' Widows' and Orphans' Fvmd to remain unchanged by such action, on condition of his still paying the Ministerial rate and procuring an annual contribution to that Fund from his congregation. 7. With respect to the Eastern section of the Church, the Assembly are grati- fied to find everything relating to Home Missions in a very prosperous and satis- factory condition, owing greatly to the fact that Dr. McGregor has been free to dovoto a largo amount of time and attention to the promotion of the interests of the scheme ; so that not only are the distribution and superintendence of Probationers and Missionaries adequately seciired, but the fund is also in a healthy financial state. Further, the Assembly recommend the vigorous prosecution of Home Mis- sion work in Newfoundland. 8. As to the Western section of the Church, the Assembly, while regretting that so heavy a debt in connection with this fund should exist at the end of the first year after the Union, declare their persuasion that this state of things arises from temporary causes — a severe commercial crisis and a misapprehension on the part of many ministers and congregations as to what was expected of them in relation to the Fund. While earnestly commending this scheme anew, as of paramount importance, to the hearty support of oiur people for the next year, the Assembly in order to pro- vide for the pressing wants of our Missionaries and Ministers, whosa claims for the past year have not been fully met, resolve to make an immediate appeal to the Western section of the Church, so as to make up the deficit ; and appoint a Com- mittee, consisting of Dr. Cochrane, Dr. lloid and Mr. Warden, to distribute the amount of the debt among Presbyteries on the basis of membership — said proportion to be again distributed by I'resbyteries among congi-egations. All returns to this special appeal sliall be made not later than the 1st September next; and, in the meantime, the Treasurer is em^Jw^red to borrow money sufficient to pay the claims on the fund, now greatly overdue. 9. The matter of appointing additional Missionaries to Manitoba, is hereby remitted to the Home Mission Committee, with the hope that suitable men may be found for this very unportant part of the field. The request of the Committee to be relieved of the burden of sustaining the College at Winnipeg and other matters in connection with that Institution shall be considered in discussing that part of tho report of the Assembly's Special Committee for maturing measures for this meeting, which relates to the question of Colleges. The action of tho Committee in re-imbursing Professor Bryco for travelling expenses and in paying under pro- test five hundred dollars (8500) for a tutor in Manitoba College is hereby approved. 10. The Assembly sustain the Committee in their endeavours to supply ordin- ances to the Lake Superior Stations, even under circumstances of discouragement, in tlio hope that these stations will become to a large extent, if not wholly, self- supporting. 11. With a view to encourage special attention to the work of Church exten- sion, commensurate with the necessities of our rapidly increasing population, the Assembly record their approval of the Associations formed for this purpose within the bounds of the Presbyteries of Toronto and Montreal, and express tho hope that similar Associations may bo established in other Presbyteries. 12. The Assembly, re-appointing Dr. Coclu-ane, Convenor, hereby request him, in addition to the ordinary work of correspondenc to visit as many Presbyteries 68 AOTS AND PBOOEEDINOB OP THE SECOND OENB^L ASSEMBLY OF and miesion fields as ho may be able — tlie supply of bis pulpit and other incidental expenses to be defrayed by the Home Mission Fund. 18. At least one joint meeting of the two Rub-Committees of the Homo Mis- sion Committee shall bo hold each year, in order to secure the co-operation of the EiiBtom section of the Church in Mission work in Manitoba as well as to promote the General interests of the Church's Missions. OVERTURE ANENT THE HOME MISSION FUND. There was road an Overture from the Session of Wroxoter anent the Home Mission Fund, praying for the separation of the Fund into two departments— ono for Home Mission work proper, and tho other for supplcmonting weak congregations. It was agreed that, as this subject had already been considered and decided by the Assembly, further action was unnecessary. Tho Assembly adjourned to meet in this place this afternoon at three o'clock, of which public intimation was made, and this Sedomnt was closed with the Benediction. THIRTIETH SEDERUNT. In the same place, and on the tame day, at three o'clock in the afternoon : — Tho General Assembly of tho Presbyterian Chiu-ch in Canada met pursuant to a^ournment, and was constituted. Devotional services were conducted by the Rev. Robert Hall. REPORT ON OBITUARY NOTICES. Mr. William Praser, Convener of the Committee appointed to prepare obituary notices of those Ministers who have been removed by death during tho past year, gave in a report. These notices were read seriatim by Mr. Fraser, and ordered to be printed, after revision by tho Convener, as an appendix to the Minutes of this Assembly. PUBLIC COLLECTIONS. The Assembly proceeded to consider the mode in which moneys should be provided to meet the wants of the several Schemes of the Church during tho year. On motion of Principal Caven, duly seconded, it was unanimously resolved. That Presbyteries ho instnictod to see that Missionary Associations shall, if possible, be formed in all their congregations ; but, where such Associations do not at present exist, collections shall be taken up as follows, viz. : — I.

KKl'OHT OK COMMITTKK TO MATURK MK.ASUKKS. The AsHombly resumed conniilcration of tho rrport of tho Committee appointed to mature nieaHures for thiK Assembly. The section on Foreign Missions was taken up. On motio)i of Professor McLari n seconded by Mr. ,T.C. Smith, it was agreed to postpone consideration of this section until the next meeting of the Assembly, and to continue dur- ing tho present year the system now in operation. Said section on Foreign Missions is as follows, viz. : — PROPOSED KKOULATIONB ANENT FOIKION MISSIONS. 1. There shall be a central Fund, to bo designated the Foreign Mis.siou Fund, from which the operntions of tho Church in the Foreign Mission department of her work shall bo suntainod ; and all the Congregations and Home Mi'^sion Stations throughout tho Church shall be reiiuirod to make an annual contribution to this Fund. 2. There shall bo one Board appointed annually by tho Goneril Assembly for the direction of tho Foreign Mission work of the Church, and it shall bo the duty of said Board — 1. To administer tho funds provided for Foreij^n Mis.sion pur- poses, and render an account of tho same to the General Assembly at its annual meeting. 2. To take the oversight of tho Missionaries now enfin'^'od, or who may hereafter bo engaged, in tho service of the Chm-ch, and to issue, from time to time, to said MissionarioB such orders and instructions as may be dtemed neces- sary. K. To seek out such Ministers or others that maj* be willing to undertake Fort ign Mission work, to judge of their qualifications, (where necessary to con- duct thffir preparatory training), uAid to appoint them to their particular fields of labour. 8. The Foreign Mission Board sliall, in the meantime, be divided into two sections, one comprising the members in Ontario, Quebec and tho Noi th-West, and tho other the members in the Maritime Provinces, each of these sections to hav» special charge of tho Missions now existing in connection with tho Western and Eastern portions of tho Church respectively, and such other Missions as may here- after, by tho General Assembly, bo assigned to any or either of them. Tho two sections of tho Board shall, during the year, hold at least one joint meeting, and shall combine the reports of their operations in their respective sections, to be sub- mitted, year by year, to the General Assembly. 4. The travelling expenses of members of the Foreign Mission Board, in at- tending meetings of tho Board, with all other incidental charges coimccted with tho transaction of tho business entrusted to it, shall be defraj-ed from the Foreign Mission Fund. REPOKT OF COJIMITTKE ON REPORTS OF FOREIGN MISSION COMMITTEE. In connection with this subject, the Assembly called for the report of tho Committee appointed to consider the reports on Foreign Missions, which was given in and read by Mr. J. W. Mitchell. It was agi-eed to receive the same and consider its paragraphs leriativi. In accordance with its recommendations, slightly amended, it was resolved as follows, viz. : — 1. Tho Assembly authorize the Presbytery of Manitoba to ordain Mr. John McKay as a Missionary to labour among the Indians, when, aftor consultation K [93] I mm 4^ ' ACTS AND FROCKEDTNOS OF THE SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF with (he Foreig^ X Mission Committee, it may be thought dssu-able in the interests of the Mission lo do so. 2 Tlie Rev. J. Fraser Canpbell, in accordance with his previous appoint- ment, is directed to proceed to M idras, but empowered to visit Central India and, if he should consider that to be a more promising field of labour, to report the fact to the Eastern section of the Foreign Mission Committrje. 8. In view of the recent resignation of the Rev. J. D. Murray, Missionary to Anoiteum, the Assembly express sympathy with him in the circumstances which have rendered necessary his withdrawal from that field of labour and direct the Foreign Mission Committee to take such action as they may deem expedient in the circumstances. 4. The Assembly direct the Committee to accept the offer which tiie Rev. Jas. Douglas, of Cobonrg, lias made of himself for Foreign Mission work, and author- ize them to send him out to labour in Central India, as soon as circumstances will permit. Further, the Assembly instruct the Presbytery of Peterborough to take the necessary steps for his release from his present charge. 5. The Assembly — finding that the sum of twenty-six thousand dollars ($26,000) annually, is required to carry on the work already undertaken ; that a large additional expenditure of not less than five thousand eight hundred dollars |$5.800) will be required to covor the outht, passage money and salaries of the Missionaries now about to be sent to India ; that the income of the Fund must reach nearly thirty-two thousand dollars (83*2,000) to enable the Committee to meet the annual expenditure to which the Church has now (committed itself ; and that the Treasxu-y is at present virtually empty — comme d these facts to the prayerful hberality of all their congregations. REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO MATURE MEASURES. The Assembly next took up consideration of the section on CoUegas in the report of the Committee appointed to mature measures for this meeting. The following recommendations anent the maintenance of the several Theological Institutions connected with the Church were adopted, viz. : — REGULATIONS ANENT MAINTENANCE OF COLLEQES. 1. It is expedient that the territorial principle should, for the present, be Adopted in the scheme for supporting the Theologtcal Institutions of the Chm'ch. 2. The congregations in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces shall be the con- stituency for the stipport of the Theological Hall at Halifax. A discussion arose on the next recommendation of the Committee, to wit : — 3. The congregations in the Province of Quebec and those in the Province of Ontario on the east side of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway shall contribute towards the support of the Presbyterian College at Montreal ; and those con- gregations west of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway shall contribute towards the support of Queen's College and Knox College. In connection with this there was produced and read a Memorial from the Board of Management of the Presbyterian College at Montreal, transmitted and recommended by the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, praying the Assembly to enact that the territory set apart for the maintenance of said College shall be the congregations within the bounds; of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa. It was moved by Dr. Proudfoot and seconded by Dr. Bell, That the Assembly adopt the recommendation of the Committee, and decline to gi-ant the prayer of the Memorial. To this it was moved, in amendment by Mr. James Watson and seconded by Mr. Andrew Wilson, That the Memorial be received ; that the congregations within the bounds of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa shall contribute towards the support of the Presbyterian College, Montreal ; and that the congregations west of the bounds of the aforesaid Synod shall contribute towards the support of Queen's College and Knox College. A vote having been taken, the motion was carried over the amendment by a majority of 82 to 21, and became the judgment of the House. V . [94] y THE PBESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA. 67 Prom this decision Friucipal Mc Vicar, Professor Campbell, Messrs. John Ferguson :and 0. A. Tanner, craved leave to enter their dissent. The Assembly adjourned to meet in this place to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, of which public intimation was made, and this Sederunt was closed with the Benediction. THIETY- SECOND SEDERUNT. At Toronto, and wWiin Knox Church there ; Thursday, the twenty-second day of June, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six years : — Which day the General Assembly of the Presbjrteriau Church in Canada met pur- suant to adjournment, and was constituted. Devotional services were conducted by the Rev. Robert Hamilton. The Minutes of the Thirty- First Sedenmt were read and sustained. Dr. Waters, Clerk of the Committee on Business, presented and read a report. Its reconmiendations as to the order of business were adopted. REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO MATURE MEASURES. The Assembly resumed consideration of the report of the Committee appomted to mature measures for this meeting, and took up the question of Colleges at the point where the debate le4't off last evening. It was moved by Principal Caven and seconded by Mr. Laing, That it be remitted to the Board of Tinistees of Queen's College and to the Boards of Management of the Montreal Presbyterian College and Knox College to consider the question of having; a Common Fund for Theological Education in the territory now divided between the Cv lege in Montreal, on the one hand, and Queen's and Knox Colleges, on the other hand — to re- port to next assembly. It was moved in amendment by Mr. McTavish and seconded by Professor Campbell, That Principal Caven's motion be 'not adopted ; bnt that a Committee be appointed to consider the whole subject of Theological Halls and to report to the next General Assem- bly. It was also moved in amendment by Mr. McCuaig and seconded by Professor Mackerras, That the Assembly pass on to the next item in the report of the Committee for maturing measures. Votes having been taken, the amendment proposed by Mr. McCuaig carried successively over the first amendment and the motion, and became the judgment of the House. The Assembly agreed to refer to the Committee, already appomted, on Ecclesiastical Procedure, as a special matter for consideration the subject of Education for the Ministry, and also that of the Examination of Students. MANITOBA COLLEGE. The recommendations of the Committee regarding Manitoba College were next taken up. In connection with this, the Assembly called for the reports of the Board of Manage- ment and the Senate of the saia College, which were given in and read. It was unan- imouly agreed to receive these reports. After due deliberation, it was moved by Mr. G. M. Grant seconded by Mr. King and carried, That the recommendations, anent Mani- toba College, of the Committee for maturing measures and the reports now submitted be referred to a Committee, consisting of Dx: Cochrane, Convener ; Dr. Patterson, Messrs Bobb, O. M. Grant, A. McL. Sinclair, Laing, Scrimger ; Hon. J. McMurrich, Mr. James Croil, with instructions to confer with the Professors and other persons who may have in- [95] 68 ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND OENEBAIi ASSEMBLY OF formation on the subject, to consider the whole question, and bring in a finding with regard to its present position and future support, tliat may be acceptable to the Assembly. The Assembly agreed to send down to Presbyteries for consideration the recommen- dations of the Committee for maturing measures anent the Ministers' Widows' and Orphans' Fund, and the Aged and Infirm Ministei's' Fund, and to continue for the current year, as hitherto, the Committees on these Funds. These recommendations are as follows : m ■!' ^'1; PROPOSED EEGULATIONS ANENT (1) MINISTERS' WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND. 1. That one Fund be created for the whole Church. 2. That the terms of the Act of the Province of Quebec, .'38 Victoria, chapter Ixi., relating to the Ministers' Widows' and Orphans' Fund of the late Presbyterian: Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, providing that in the event of tlie amalgamation of that Fund with the Funds of th^ othrr Churches that were parties to the recent Union, " no widow or orphan of a Minister, who had formerly belonged to the Presbyterian Church of Cuaada in connection with the Church of Scotland, shall receive less annuities from the Fund of the United Church, than would have pertained to them in terms of the scale ui force by this Board at the date of Union, if the said Chiu'ches had not united," be accepted, and an amalgamation of the four Funds be effected. 3. That in addition to the revenue derived from the capital sum formed by the uniting cf the four Funds presently existing, the Fund shall be maintained by an annual contribution from each Minister and congregation. 4. That, the rate of ministerial contributions shall be as follows : — Ministers of this Church at present not connected with any fund, and any Ministers who after this date shall be admitted to participate in the benefits of the Fund, under 35- years of age, shall pay into the Fund annually eight dollars (.8B) ; such as are be- tween 35 and 40 years of age, ten dollars, (§10) ; those who are between 40 and .50 years of age shall pay twelve dollars ($12) per annum. The application of any minister over 50 years of age to be admitted to the benefits of the Fund shall b& made the subject of special consideration. 5. That the allowances to widows from the common Fund be equal ; the Cf.se of the widows of the Ministers formerly belonging to the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Chiu-ch of Scotland, as already provided for, only excepted ; provided also that no widow at present receiving an annuity from any of the Funds, nor the widow of any Minister of the united Church, who had form- erly belonged to the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Chmch of Scotland, shall receive a less allowance than one hundred and fifty doUais ($150) a year. 6. That the following be the scale of annuities payable to widows and or- phans ; — Each widow shall receive one hundred and fifty dollars (§150) per annum. If a widow have children, in addition to her own annuity, she shall receive for one child twenty dollars (Si20) per annum ; for two children thirty-six dollars (§36) per annum ; for t) -ee children fifty (S50) per annum, and ten dollars (§10) per annum for each additional child ; but she shall not receive anything firom the Fund for boys over 18 years of age, or for girls over 21 years of age. 7. In the event of the decease of both parents, if there be only one orphan, th ) Board shall pay for the benefit of such orphans one hundred and fifty dollars (^150) ; if there are two orplmus twenty dollars (§20) shall bu addud to the allow- ance made for one ; if there are three orphans, sixteen (§10) more shall be paid on their behalf ; and if there are four orphans' fourteen dollars (§14| sliall be added to the allowance ; and ten dollars (§10) shall be given for each additional orphan ; but no allowance shall bo made for boys over 18 years of age, or lor girls over 21 years of age. 8. That on behalf of Professors, foreign Missionaries, Missionaries under the French Evangelization Committee, Ministurs on the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund, or who have retired from active duty with jjermission of the Church, and for whom no aid is sought from the Fund for Aged and Infirm Ministers, and the Agents of the Church, who shall be on the Fimd of the United Church, the sum J96] THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA. 69 of twelve dollars shall, in addition to the personal rate, after the amalgamation of the Funds, be paid to this Tund from the Funds with which they are respectively • 4Jonnected. 9. Any Minister withdrawing from the Church shall continue to enjoy his rights in this Fund, on condition of his paying annually into the Fund such sum as an actuary may determine to be equitable, in addition to personal rates. 10. That it be an instruction to Presbyteries to use all lawful eudeavoiu'8 to ' secure that every Minister, when he is inducted into a charge, shall become con- nected with the Fund. 11. That any Minister, who may, at the tune of his induction, decline to join the Fund, may be allowed to do so within four years from the date of his induction, on condition of his contributing a sum equivalent to the total payments he should have made, provided he had connected himself with the Fund at his induction, to- getrker with an addition of one dollar a year for each year he has declined to con- tribute to the Fund after his induction. 12. The rates of payments may be revised once in every five years. 13. Tliat an actuary be employed to examine the Funds presently existing, and report to the Committee as to tlie most ecjuitable way in which the amalgamation can be effected, and that the Treasurers of the several Funds be instructed to fur- nish the data which such actuary may require. 14. Tliatthe Gf ''eral Assembly be asked lo appoint a Committee to obtain the legislation necessary to amalgamate the four Funds now in existence in the Church, on the terms that may be agreed upon. (2). AGED AND INFIRM MINISTERS' FUND. 1. That there shall be a Fund for the whole Church. 2. That it shr^Ube sustained by annual congregational contributions, donations, and bequests. 3. That payments out of the Fund shall be made according to the following ficale : — (1).

(2). The case of a Minister permitted to retire after lei.« than ten years' ser- vice shall be made the subject of spec?"' consideration by the Assembly. 4. That it be an instruction to Presbyteries, when accepting the resignation of Ministers permitted by the Assembly to retire, to secure, when practicable, a suit- able retiring allowance to such Ministers from the congregations which they had served. ANSWERS TO REASONS OF DISSENT. Mr. Robb, Convener of the Committee appointed to prepare answers to the reasons of dissent presented by Principal Snodgrass and others, presented in an amended form the third answer, as instructed by the Court. This, after amendment, was adopted. These answers are as follows, viz. : — 1. In answer to the first reason, your Committee reply that a due consideration of the statement made by Mr. Macdonnell on Thnrsday last shows that the more favom'able oxpresLions therein employed are neutralized by others, indicative of his inability to as- sent to the views of the Chmxh, and especially by his direct definition of the attitude of his mind towards the doctrine in question as one of doubt, as distinguished from belief on thft one band, and denial on the other. And your Committee add that they fail to dis- cover evidence of any substantial change of opinion from that held by Mr. Macdonnell, when he was last before the Presbytery of Toronto, or when he addressed the Assembly on Monday night. 2. In answer to the second reason, your Committee reply that they are wholly at a loss to diacover the foundation on which it rests. The. only statement contained in the [97] 70 ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND aRNERAL ASSEMBLY OF report respecting Mr. Macdoonell's attitude towards the doctrine is that " be has intim- ated that his mind is at prese J, in an undecided state as regards the doctrine in question," which surely cannot be viewed as an exaggerated representation. And your Committee farther observe that, inasmuch as all the motions siibmitted to the Assembly approved of that portion of the report, which contains the alleged exaggeration of Mr. Mscdoonell'B attitude, the Dissentients, voting as they did for these motions, have seriously weakened the ground on which their di«9enb proceeds. S. This reason rests on two assumptions, neither of which seems to your Committee to be well founded. Firit : That the chief end aimed at by the Assembly in the action complained of is to bring Mr. Macdonuell's views into accord with the doctrine held by the Church ; whereas that end is secondary, and not primarily aimed at. The granting of time for consideration was the result of a desire to deal tenderly and leniently with a brother, as there seemed still reason to hope that on a more full consideration he would be able so to define his position as to make fui-ther dealings unnecessary ; and the fixing of the limit at one year arose from the circumstance that it was the shortest possible time in which a report can be presented to the Supreme Court. And aecont'ly : if yonr Committee understand this reason, it proceeds upon the assumption that the fixing of a time-Umit, within which Mr. Macdonnell is to report, tends to hinder his mind from acting freely and fairly. This, your Committee affirm, cannot be, since men are con- stantly called upon to decide important questions of truth and duty within very definite time-limits. Your Committee would fm-ther add that the absence of such a time-Umit, as is complained of, would leave it open for a Minister to remain permanently in the Church, whose avowed mental attitude towards an important doctrine of God's Word is not such as this Church demands of her accredited teachers. The Assembly adjourned to meet in this place this afternoon at three o'clock, of which public intimation was made, and this Sederunt was closed with the Benediction. THIRTY-THIRD SEDERUNT. In the tame place, and on the same day, at three o'clock in the afternoon : — The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada met pursuant to ad- journment and was constituted.

As recommended by the Committee, the Assembly resolved not to raise a special Memorial Fund to commemorate the Union, but agreed to urge on all their congregations that the true memorial of the Union, in which we rejoice, must be sought in the quicken iug of the Church's life as well as in the intensifying of its interest and enlargment of its liberality in regard to all the Schemes of the Church. The Asseinlily gave instructions to pay out of the Assembly Fund the travelling expenses of those members of the Committee for maturing measures, who attended the meeting at Montreal lust September ; and further resolved to make a grant of six hundred dollars (ftOOO) to the Toronto Committee, who have had in charge the matter of providing accommodation for members at this meeting. ACT ANENT THE ASSEMBLY AS A REPRESENTATIVE BODY. Dr. Reid produced and read Retiu-ns fi'om Presbyteries to the Draft Act for the con- stitution of the General Assembly as a Representative Body, sent down at last meeting for consideration. A classification of these Returns showed that fourteen Presbyteries approved s'mqtliciter, and seventeen approved generally. Some of these suggest mere verbal changes ; others propose modifications in the proportion of representation or as to the time of election ; but all approve of the principle of representation. Two Presbyteries make no return. After due deliberation, the Draft Act was slightly amended, adopted ad interim and eent down to I'resbyteries fur consideration. The Act, as thus amended, is as follows, viz.: 1. The General Assembly shall consist of one-fourtli of the whole number of Ministers on the Rolls of the several Presbyteries with an equal number of acting Elders. 2. If the number on the Roll of any Presbytery be incapable of division by four, then the fourth shall be reckoned the fomth of the next higher munber divi- sible by four. 8. Each Presbytery shAll elect its representatives at an ordinary meeting held at least tliirty days before the meeting of the General Assembly ; and, in the event of any of these representatives resigning their commissions, or being unable to attend the Assembly, it sliall be lawful for the Presbytery to elect others in their place at any subsequent meeting previous to the meeting of the General As- sembly. 4. Ecch Presbytery Clerk shall forward to the Clerks of the General Assembly, 80 as to be in their hands at least eight days before its meeting, commissions in favour of the Ministers and Elders elected as representatives ; and from such com- missions the Clerks shall prepare an Interim Roll, to be called at the opening of the Assembly ; which, being amended, if necessary, shall be confirmed as the Roll of Assembly. fi. Any twenty-five of these Commissioners, of vhom at least thirteen shall be Ministers, being met on the day and at the place appointed, shall be a quotum for the transaction of business.

MANITOBA COLLBOE. Dr. Cochrane, Convener, presented and read a report from the Committee appointed this forenoon with reference to Manitoba College. Said report is of the following tenor, viz. : — The Committee, after the fullest inquiry possible in the circiuustancea, beg leave to report — 1. That the College is in a hopeful position ; that it is entitled to the hearty support of the Church ; and that it should be maintained in efficiency in its various departments until the Oovernmeut of the Province provide for higher education. 2. That, inasmuch as the College in its present stage demands all the time and energy of the Professors, no Professor should accept any public appointment with- out the consent of the College Board. 8. That, iu order to relieve the Home Mission Fund, a small Committee be appointed by the Assembly to issue a circular to congregations, pointing out the necessity for the Colletje, and the amount annually required for its maintenance, and, at the same time, asking for a contribution towards it. Also that the Parent Churches in Greit Britain and Ireland be specially solicited to make grants towards the maintenance of the Institution ; and that the Committee appointed to corres- pond with che Colonial Committees of the Parent Churches be instructed to present tliis case in their correspondence as strongly as possible. 4. That the Committee, appointed to raise the revenue required by the College, call the attention of the brethren in the Western Synods to the fact that the quota expected from them towards the new Collegiate liuildings in Winnipeg has not yet been forwarded to the Treasurer, and request their immediate attention to the subject ; and that the Special Committee appointed by last Assembly be dis- charged. 5. That, having found that the circumstances connected with the failure of the Ladies' College iu Winnipeg have acted injuriously on the Assembly's College, they earnestly urge the friends responsible for that enterprise to bring matters to a speedy and satisfactory settlement. The Assembly unanimously decerned in terms of the report, and appointed as their Committee for the purpose stuted in paragraph 8, the following members, viz. : — Mr. D. H.

FRENCH EVANGKLIZATION. The Assembly called for the report of the Committee appo inted to consider the report of the Board of French Evangelization, which was given in and read. In accordance with its recommendations, the Assembly resolved. 1. To express their gratitude to God for the signal success, which has crowned the efforts of the Board during the past year, and to record their conviction of the importance of the work, in which the Board has been engaged, as well as of the necessity for contiuned zeal and energy in the prosecution of the same. 2.

Two young miniRterH have juHt been designated to \ia by the Irish Church, and arc ex- pected to arrive during this meeting of assembly. These, Dr. Wilson writes, are "an offering for you, in your first year as a united church. They go out to you not by constraint or owing to any homo pressure, bnt willingly." Mr. I3alfour, the convener of tho Colonial Committee of the Froo Church, in addressing the Assembly last year, states that the Committee have arranged a series of meetings with the students of the different Theological Halls, with a view to enlisting their sympathies in behalf of the colo- nial field. "I anticipate," ho says, "as tho result of such friendly conversation with tho youni; men attending tho college, that wo shall find some of them, not committing themselves rashly, but r '!'• they have had time for meditation, coming forward and saying, '\Vo aro satisfied wo huvo a ' jttor opening for doing God's work iu these groat colonies than we have in this compara- tively little country of Scotland ; and though it may cost us a pang to cut ourselves off from our nativo land and go abroad, wo aro prepared to do this for tho Lord's sake.' Wo want to loy our hands on some of these young men, and get them sent out to tho colon- ies before tho congregations at home can i)ick them up. How can we manage this? Wo propose, with the concurrence of the colonial churches, to send out a (ew selected men for tho periotl of throe years. They will get work there for that time, and when it has elapsed they can, if they pleaso, come home. We believe, if they do come homo, they will be all the better for what they have seen of mon and things in their colonial oxpcriuuco, and in travelling to and fro, and we be- lieve tho colonies will bo all tho bettor for tho presence of those young men. Wo also believe that !i ko(hI many of those who aro thus sent out for a term of years will find the sphere of labor so inviting, will get settled down so comfortably in congrcgptions,will enjoy the climate so much, and tho ways of tlie people, that they will think twice before they return. In this way tho colonies will got tho benefit of tho services of a better class of young men than wo aro at present ablo to induce to go out. If they return nt tlie end of the three years, they will conio back not with u Mtigma, as if they had shrunk from colonial work, but with a feather in their cap, as men who were chosen for an honorable duty, and liave discharged it. No doubt it will cost a little money. The expense it is proposed to divide between the Colonial Church and the committee at home. But wo are satisfied this plan is so admirably adapted to tho circumstances of a certain class of congrega- tions in these colonies,^tliat it woiild bo worth the expenditure on our side, and still better worth tho expenditure on theirs." Your Committee cordially commend this proposal to the favorable consideration of the Assembly. Report of Mission Work in Special Fields, BniTISU COLCMIHA. Your Committee reported to last Assembly the appointment of tho l\i'r. Alexander Stewart fis missionary to Naiininio. Trior to the time of his leaving', however, intelligence reached them that tlio Rev. Mr. McGregor, the rcprescutntive of the Church of Scotland in Victoria, had secured ad- ditional labors from his Church, with a ^raut of tl.OOO per aiinuui towards their supjiort, and that one of these would occui)y Nanainio. In these circumstances, the appointment wa^; cancelled, and Mr. Stewart api)ointe(l to Fort Polly, in tlio North West Ter- ritory, where he has since labored mott faithfully, av the report elsewhere states. Since last Assembly another Presbyterian clergyman, from England, has accepted a call to tho 2d Church in Victoria, so that there aro now six Presbyterian ministers in tho Province, in addition to the Principal of the High School, who is also a minister of the Presbyterian Church. JIi. McGregor, in referring to these additional laborers, says: " Tho Colonial Committee voted us a grant of tl.OOO sterling j)erairium, for the support of four additiort at least 9800 per uunum, so as to make the utipeud 92,000 a year.

During last Bimimer it woe token up regularly, and supplied by Mr. Jamea Duncan, a theological student studying in Manitoba College. The wholo settlement, though very mixed as to religious belief, adlieres to us, and service has been regularly maintained. Since Mr. Duncan's return to college, it has been supplied by the Bev. J. S. Stewart, stu- dent of Knox College Missionary Society. The witlidi uwal of the nortliorn part of the Province from settlement, on its being set apart us Canada Pacific Railway land, forqpd emigration very much in tliis direction ; nn Ithe heavily wooded country of Fombina Mountains was moreover a groat attraction, altliough 80 or 100 miles from Winnipeg. The Pembina Mountains begin about 15 miles south- west of the 13oyno— and the suttlemont, whiclt is a vei-y straggling one, extends BO miles south to the boundary line. Of this settlement Mr. Stewart has taken oversight, and in this region con- taining over 200 of u population, our missionary is alone in his occupation of the field. Latest advices are to the eflect that a churcli has been partially erected, and two school houses in differ- ent parts of the settlement, which mil serve for church purposes. The Presbytery is thankful for the asBistanco given by the Knox College Missionary Society in sending Mr, Stewart. WESTERN DISTRICT. Portage La Prairie and Burnside were set apart as one charge, and the Bev. A. Bell appointed to them during last year. Mr. Bell has with much energy and acceptance labored here. Portage La Prairie has rebuilt its church, and seems hkely to advance in all respects. The Prcsbytwy has had much thought of the West hitherto, on account of Portage La Prairie, which is the place second in importance in the Province, and which though having a considerable Prcnbytcrian popu- lation, yet seemed less vigorous than might have been expected. This defect seems to a con- siderable extent remedied, and should Portage La Prairie and its ally Burnside succeed next y' ar in becoming self-sustaining, or nearly so, the effect in Western Manitoba will be most beneficial. Palestine. The Presbytery last summer had intended, on the removal of the Students' Missionary from Palestine, to have sent Rev. Mr. Frazer to Palestine. Mr. Frazer was appointed, and accepted tlio appointment, but subsequently, in opposition to the opinion of the Prcsbyteiy, did not go. Tlie Presbytery regretted this exceedingly, on account of the importance of the Palestine region with its four stations. The Presbytery, in doing so, were likewise of opinion that the removal of Mr. Frazer from HighJBIuQ and Portage Creek was desirable. Under the circumstances the Presbytery made the best arrangements in its power for the winter for Palestine, but regrets to have to report that these were not so good as coiUd have been desired. Fort Pelly. ^ ^ The Rev. Alexander Stewart was appointed last June to Fort Pelly, and in the fall proceeded to his Hold of labor. Three stations have been opened by him during the winter, and regularly supplied. One among the moimted Police, another among the employees of the Board of Works, and a third at the Fort, where Mr. Stewart has his residence. Mr. Stewart has also established a school for the instruction of the children connected with the barracks, giving three hours each day to this work. The attendance at the school is 14. His oongregations at the Beverol points above mentioned vary considerably in proportion as they are attended by others than the adherents of our own church. The men have subscribed f 230 towards the Home Mission Fund. In his last com- munication Mr. Stewart mentions that a now site has been chosen for the capital of the North West Territory, near the junction of the Battle and Saakatohewan lUvera,— about 300 miles to the West of Pelly. Tlio resijt of this change will be the abandonment of Fort Pelly in a year or two at the farthest. So soon as the Government is fairly established at Battle River, it will be the duty of the Church to follow at once and supply the different branches of the service with rcg dar preaching. Meanwhile, unless otherwise ordered by the Assemb^, the Committee hove requested Mr. Stew- art to continue his labors omong the men while they remain at Fort Pelly, and follow them if nee-'• *v^ Will iiiiiiiv^tt iitiv riiviiTT jtciii.

Nor Imvo tho Hcttlod pastorH of Winnipe;; and Kildo- nan boon at all exempt from misniou work.

Those places are Mpringflcld, Sunnysido, where a church has lately been begun ; Park's Creek, Caledonia, Clear Springs, Head- tiigly, and Itiviero Sale. When it is considered that the most remote of theso is forty miles distant from V/iiinipcg, and tho nearest eleven miles, it will bo seen that a very largo amount of labor is thus entailed. This is only accomplished with considcrablo expenso to tho missionary, and in tho whiter is not unattended with danger. Your Committee have as yet been unable to supply the vacancies caused by tho return of Mr. Glendinning on account of ill health, and of Mr. Frazer, whose term of service has expired. The Presbytery of Manitoba are very anxious that at least three ministers should be sent without delay. Your Connnittoe call tho attention of tho Assembly to the fact that tho drafts sent from Mani- toba for the (inst year, include tho sum of friOO for a tutor in tho College. Of tho appointment of such an oUicial by the Assembly your Committee know nothing, nor do tho Minutes of the Home Mission Committee contain any notice of such an appointment.

Being almost entirely neglected in tho winter, what is gained to-day is soon loHt.

As yet wo have only ono churcli in tho wholo district of Muskoka, and one in contemplation at (iravonlmrst. The prospect of being less burdensome to tho Central Fund is in tho distance. There is a loud call to thosu of our church who aru strong, to help tho weak in this day of ueud. Ottawa. Tho Couvi^iiL-r of the Homo Mission Coiumitteo of the Ottawa rrcsbytery says : At our first meeting after tlic union of our Presbyterian Churches, wo found ourselves in possession of sovun- teon mission fields. Of this number two have risen to the dignity of self-supporting charges. Theso are Manotick, now under tlio pastoral oversight of tlio Rev. James Whyte, and New Edinburgh, under tho pastoral care of tlie Bev. C. Innea Cameron. In conseiiucnco of the Union and arising out of it, tho I'l isbyterirtiiH of Cumberland, together with those pf the mitlying stations— Clarcnco and Nftvon — have been brougiit togi^ther and ereetinl into ono pastoral cliargo, which now gives fair promise of bcMuga strong scilf-supporting congregation.

Tho mission field in tho city of Hull, in the Prov- ince of Quebec, is now nifiking favorable progress under the care of the Bev. H. .J. Borthwick, or- dained missionary. Tluit of Bocliesterville, a western suburb of tho city of Ottawa, was organized last summer. It has now a raembersliip of about thirty. To this field, tho Bev. Joseph Wliite, formerly of Wakefield, lias been appointed as ordained missionary. For Wilberforce, where en- couraging progress has been made uiuha- our student missionaries, the sei-vices of an ordained mis- sionary aro now sought. The people on tlio field havo themselves subscribed over three hundred dollars in furtherance of tliis object. For tho Desert mission field the Presbytery are also seeking the sei-vices of an ordained missionary, who can conduct services both in English and French. Three committees, viz., the H. M. Committee, the French Evangelization Committee, and tho Lumberman's Mission Conuuittee, have been asked and have consented to unite in helping to sup- port an ordained missionary in this field. .About two hundred dollars have been subscribed in the field in furtherance of thisJobject. Notwithstanding the changes effected in our mission fields through settlement and otherwise, we have still under our care twelve mission fields, of which eight are to bo supplied by student missionaries durii^ the present summer. , In the other Presbyteries of the Church, missionary operations are being prosecuted as open- ings occur. For details, sec Ai>i)cndix. ^ Your Committco notico with great satisfaction the formation of Associations in Toronto and Montieal, for the purpose of seeking out destitute localities whore Presbyterian churches may bo erected. It is only in this way that we can hope satisfactorily to provide religious instruction for the large numbers who arc as yet outside the pale of the Christian Church, and at tho same time extend our influenceas a denomination. The city of Toronto itself gives abundant evidenceof what can be acoompliBhed in tl^e planting of territorial churches. By the fostering caro of the Homo Mission Fund for a very short period, these have become vigorous, self-supporting congregations. The following are the reports of tho Students' Missionary Societies of Knox and Montreal Col- legOB. Your Committee desire to express their gratitude to the students for the valuable aid afforded US in supplying remote stations that could not otherwise bo overtaken. ANNUAL REPORT (ff KNOX COLLEGE STUDENTS' MISSIONARY SOCIETY. -o — o — o This Society cousiBts of all the students counccteil wjith Knox ColloKe who are stndyiuR with a view to the minifltry of the Prewbyterian Chnrch in Cnnndn. Its object in to Hupply the means of grace to Homo of the more ncRlected parts of Canada, and in cniTyinR out tliis object it scuds mis- sionaries during the summer mouths to those outlying districts wliich tlie regular organization of the Church is least able to overtake. The expenses connected with the work of the Society arc defrayed by means of voluntary contributions, obtained by its members in tlicir respective fields of labor, and donations from other friends of the Society. Tliis year nine missionaries were employed by the Society. One of these from the graduating class was sent to Manitoba, where ho still remains. The Society is encouraged by finding its fields, one after another, reaching such a position that they may take their place among the regiUar stations of the various Presbyteries. Most of the reports for the present year are very satisfactory, though some, owing chiefly to the continued depression in the lumber trade, are not up to former years, financially. However, there are not wanting, in al- most all the fields, indications tliat the elTorts of the Society are blessed for goml. MISSION FIELDS— Summer of 1875. 1.— WACBAUSnENE, PORT SEVERN AND STIJROEON BaY. This mission is in the centre of a large lumbering trade. The proprietors of the mills, inter- ested in the welfare of their men, have built houses of worship at all the stations. Tliey and tlion- agents have always given our missionaries a cordial welcome and a generous support. Services were held at Waubaushone and Port Severn every Sabbath — average attendance fifty and forty res- pectively. At Stmgeon Bay, services were held every alternate Sabbath, and occasionally during the week, with abcmt twenty of an attendance. Sabbath Schools were carried on at each of tlio stations. Rev. J. Gray, of Orillia, dispensed the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to 17 communi- cants at Wanbausheno, and 10 at Port Severn, and baptized 9 children.

This interesting and neoossitous field is much in need of on ordainod missionary. Services were hold regularly at five stations, and occasionally at some other points ; and tho missionary was much encouraged by tho interest shown by tho people in spiritual tlungs. Robseau Villaoe is at the head of Lake Bosscan, and is tho central point of this field. Ser- vices wore held here fortnightly on tho steamer "Nipissing," kindly granted by A. P. Cockburn, Esq., M. P. A lot for a church was purchased, and a building committee was apjiointed, and it is hoped that a church will soon bo built.

Tlie Society continued its oporationa in this Province, and sont one Missionary to that large and needy field. This field has special claima, not only on tho Society, but upon the Church, as a largo proportion of tha aottlera aro Presbyterian. As in all now distrieta, tho Bottlera;aro far apart, so that but few can moot in any one placo for worship. Tho prospects of tho Province for agriculture will soon remedy this to a largo extent, and doubtless a few years will see those broad prairies densely populated. Aa tho Missionary waa unable to occupy a single field for tho montha, his work waa necessarily of a somewhat desultory character. For the firat 3 Sabbaths Boyne aud Pembina Mountains field was supplied, aud after going for Sabbaths to the Palestine group, he returned to Bojrnc, etc., for tho rust of the time. Boyno is 60 or 00 miles from Winnipeg, and IJoyne and Pembina are 12 milea apart. At Boyno there are 2 preaching places, with an attendance of about 15 and 20 respectively. At Pembina 2 places were also supplied. Attendance small. Palestine, Golden Stream, Second Crossino and Totooon were anpplied for C Sabbatha. Service waa held every alternate Sabbath at each place. A Sabbath School waa also conducted at each station, and a Bible Clasa at Palestino and Second Croasing. A weekly Prayer Mooting waa hold in Palestino, in English and Gaelic. Tho Sabbath attendance at Paleatino waa from 50 to 00, at Second Croaaing 15 to 20, at Golden Stream 10 to 15, and at Totogon 16 to 20. At Paleatino and Totogon tho attendance waa chiefly Presbyte- rian. Tho Missionaiy was very kindly received by the people. Owing to tho grasshopper plaguo and the fact that tho Missionary was unable to remain continuously iu one field, the contributions to the funds of the Society are small.

Of these vacancies fifty-three obtained pastors, either in tho way of translation through Presbyteries from other congregations, or by tho ordination and induction of those who were not in any charge ; four have been reduced to mission stations, according to reports that have been received ; in three cases congregations have been united, and in several cases the names of vacancies have been withdrawn, some, it may be all, to re- ceive supply by students in tho course of tho summer, and a few have been added since the begin- niag of this quarter. In tho quarter from July to October, 1875, seventy-one vacancies were reported, and twenty nine probationers ; in the quarter from October 1875 to Januaryl876, there were ninety-ono vacan- cies and thirty-five probationers, two of these for only a short part of that term. In tho quarter from January to April last thoro wore eighty-one vacancies and twenty-nine probationers. And in that now current there are scvonty-six of tho former and twenty-seven of the latter. Names of vacancics.it may bt remarked, appear on tho list and disappear from it, in a manner which the Sub- Committee do not understand, and which is not explained to them by those who are in charge of the mission work of the respective Presbyteries. It. may also be stated that the names of some now vacancies have been sent in sinc^e the last printed list was prepared, so that in fact there are more than seventy-six to bo provided for. A full list is contained in Appendix No. IV. Of tho Probationers to whom ajipointments have been given, thirteen have obtained stated charges, ten have withdrawn their names, ajid there are twenty-eight on tho Boll. A list appears, showing thoso who have been settled, or withdrawn, or are still on, in Appendix V. On assuming their duties for tho present year, tho Sub-Committee anticipated that considerable trouble would bo experienced, especially near tho commencement, partly from tho novelty of tho scheme to tho United Church, althougli it had been wrought for a number of years, and it is hoped with benefit, in ono section of it ; partly from the culargcment of the field, and partly from their being unable to get definite and correct information at their fir.st meeting as to tho boundaries of Presbyteries, that meeting having been held towards tho end of Jime, so as to make seasonable ar- rangements for tho quarter beginning in July. Their anticipations were realized, although not to any greater extent tlian was apprehended, bomo difUculty •was experienced in procuring a full report of tho vacancies in tho different Presbyteries in Ontario and Quebec, and tlio names of tho men who wore available for Probationary work. For tho purpose of collecting this, oommimica- tions were addressed to what wore regarded as tho most proper parties, such for example as Presby- tery Clerks in each branch of tho united Church, and thoso who had acted as Conveners of Presby- tery Homo Mission Committees in tho lato Canada Presbyterian Cliurch. In addition to this, uso was made of Synod Rolls, and of the knowledge of those who were members of tho Sub-Committee and present when it first met. Those were all the means of which they could avail themselves when first eutoriug upon tkoir work, yot some mistakes did exist in their first scheme, but the; were able 22 to conect those in the foUowiuR onoB, and now it iu thought that tho plan on which they have been proceeding is in a fair way of being carried, if it procure the final sanction of the General Assembly and the full oo-operation of those more directly engaged in giving it effect. There is no matter emerging from the proceedings of the Sub- Committee which require the interference of tho Supromo Court. Any businoss with which they felt themselves incompetent to deal with has been brouglit before the Home Mission Committee, by whom they are appointed and under whom they act, and by thorn it lias been decided in such a manner as to gain the acquies- cence of those concerned. Tlie Bub-Committee do not feel at liberty to emboily any recommendations in this report. Tho whole question of the scheme will come up for the consideration and decision of tho General Assem- bly, by whom it may bo rejected or modified as may scom to them most proper. Thoir desire and prayer are that tho Assembly may be guided in their doUborations on the matter by tho Spirit from on high— for it is a most important one — and to such conclusions as will be most for tho interests of both Probationers and Vacancies. All which is respectfully submitted. GuELrn, Juno 8th, 1876. ROBERT TORRANCE, CoNV'n S. C. D. L" ' u In concluding this sketch of the work accomplishod during the past year, the Committee would urge upon the Assembly the absolute necessity of vigorous measures being initiated to wi|io out our indebtedness and to maintain and extend our work. Many important suggestions not embodied in these pages, have been carefully cuusidered in Committee ; but inasmuch as these will necessarily come up in connection with tho report of tho Special Committee appointed to mature miiasures for this Assembly, it has not been considered advisable to refer to them. The growing import- ance of our work, and its direct bearings upon evo'.y other department of Christian effort, must be obvious to every intelligent mind. "By casting liis gift into the Home Mission treasury, a man ac- tually contributes to every good work prosecuted by tho Church, as the Homo Mission Committee is instrumental in adding to the Cluuch congregations, which foster all her Christian enterprises at home and abroad. On no Scheme of tho Church, therefore, will an enlightened friend of missions bestow more hearty support than on her Homo Mission. Fervently praying, "God bo merciful imto us, and bless us ; and cause His face to shine upon us, that Thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations," lot us give liberally to tho Homo Mission funds, because we feel that they are tho moans of advancing the cause of Christ, not iu Canada merely, but through- out the world."

Circumstances however are somewhat unfavourable to the production of a full and attractive report ; for it must not be forgotten, that about half the year had passed, before our divergent forces were brought into line, and work was performed, and money expended, which will not find nlace in this report. The absence, at the time of preparing the draft of this outline, of the Chairman who was best acquainted with the Domestic Missions of one of the uniting Bodies, rendered it impossible for the Secretary to get all the information desired and necessary, to maku an approach to completeness. With this notice of imperfection in detail, the following exhibit of work, is respectfully submitted to the General Assembly and to the Church. Our field though small in comparison with the immense territory over which the operations of the Western Committee extends, is neither very limited, very compact, nor very easily wrought. It embraces five colonies. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Bermuda. So far at work is concerned of a strictly missionary character, the two last named must be omitted. Nothing has been done in either of them by any agent of this Com- mittee during the year just past. And yet to pass by Newfoundland in silence would be an injustice to its Presbytery and to the Committee. Its small but energetic Presbytery has forwarded a report of a MissionEU-y field of a most interesting character, mentioning several places where a Missionary would find ample room and opportunity for work, and urging the Committee to send an earnest and well qualified man without delay to the Bay of Islands which opens out to the west, and around which and within a range of four miles are 43 families and 120 individuals, from some of whom application has been made to the Presbytery for a preacher. This appeal was dealt with, as promptly and as favourably as possible. The Halifax Pres- bytery at the request of the Board, licensed and ordamed Mr. D. ¥. Creelman, who has completed his theological studies, and who was chosen by the Committee to proceed to the pouit indicated to spend the summer of 1876, labouring under direction of the Presbytery of Newfoundland, and to report at the close of the season, both to the Presbytery and to the Assembly's Committee. There remain. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, containing respec- tively a population of Nova Scotia 387,800 New Brunswick 285,594 Prince Edward Island 197,000 770,394 »bove three quarters of a million, the Presbyterian element being Nova Scotia ias,539 Now Brunswick , 30,371 Prince Edward Island 35,000 265,910 or, above a quarter of a million. |0f those three. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island enjoyed at an • irUor date and more steadily than New Brunswick, the benefit of Presbyterian Missions, and the bei. ificial influences are visible to this day. The Presbyterian element in the population is greater, the congregations through, the country as i general rule, are stronger, and our cause is better cousolidi.ted and more flourishing. As may bo anticipated therefore. New Brunswick is more completely missionary ground than the other two ; and the western section of Nova Scotia than the eastern, where tne earliest Presby- terian fathers lived and laboured ; while Caijo Breton occupies an intermediate ])ositior Accord- ingly, it will be found, when we come to number Catechists, and to refer to finances, i ^f the Presbyteries, that of St. John draws most largely, and that of Piutou to the BmoUest exiuuv, the APPENDIX. 53 former extending over nearly two-thirdB of a Province, which has Huffered greatly for wnnt of labourera, thu latter covoring CouuticB which have beiu early and long misBion grounds for the I'renbyterian Bodies of Scotland. It is necoBsary further, before noticing the work carried on, under the Eastern or Maritime Section of the General Comraittce, to explain that it docH not dnnl with tho supplementing of the weaker congregations of tho Hody. That work indeed belongs to Home MiwHions, and is not neg- lected, but it is carried on under charge of a dwtinct Committee, whose report taken in conjunction with this, will form our complete record of Home Mission Work. Three claases or grades of spiritual labourers find employment in this field, 1. The Ordained Minister and the Licentiate. 2. Tho Theological Student devoting his summer to the work. 8. The Gaelic Catechist. I.— PREACHERS AND ORDAINED mNISTERS. The first class, including both ordained Ministers ar.a Licentiates, has been employed almost exclusively in supplying vacant charges under direction of the PrcBbytcries of the church, among which they have been divided with as near an approach to justice, as was practicable. The subjoined liHt will shew their number, their names, their time of employment by the Board, when they commenced, and whether they continue now in the employment of the Com- mittee, and if not now engaged in service, whether tho connection terminated by removal or settlement. Number employed for a longer or shorter period, 22. (See Appendix No. I.) II.— CATECmSTS. Tho greater part of the strictly missionary work, such as the supplying of now Stations, tho organization of Sabbath schools, and tho conducting of prayer-meetings and Bible-classes, in new settlements and sparsely populated districts, has been done by the second class of agents, — the students of theology belonging to our own church, with others drawn from Princeton and Union Seminaries. To these we must add a small but earnest body of young men, who never enjoyed a college course, but by devotion to the Master's work have commended themselves to the good opinion of Presbyteries, or of tho parent churches, by whom they were sent forth to our aid. A list of this second class of Home workers will be found in Appendix No. II., shewing their names, their place of education, tho congregation or station occupied, their term of service, tho amount contributed by the people, and the amount drawn from the funds of tho church. THE UISSIOM FIELD IN ST. JOHN PBESDTTEBY. 1. New iftNOABDiHE.— This colony has been well described as a "little bit of Scotland" trans- planted bodily into the forests of New Brunswick three years ago, and the description cannot bo improved. This "little bit" is situated east of the St. John and below the confluence of the Tobiqno with that noble river. The settlement extends along two roads, — the Stonehaven and the Kintore roads, in length respectively eight and twelve miles, and ellotted for sixty and 100 families, including the back settlementB of Brooksdale and Frontbrook ; but many lots are still unoccupied. To this district, and, among these Scottish settlers battling manfully with the difficulties and the hardships of their new position, our Missionaries have been sent, that our brethren in their exile might still, from Sabbath to Sabbath, be strengthened for the duties and trials of the hour, by the precious truths of God's Word. Probationers and ordained Ministers, only, have been employed in this district during the year; and Mr. E. S. Bayne, Rev. J. GaUoway, and Rev. P. Melville, have in succession been cordially welcomed, and their services appreciated. Mr. Bayne's visit was brief but most useful, Mr. Galloway's extended to eleven weeks; but, after careful consideration of all the circumstances, the ProBbytery of St. John decided, with the concurrence of tho committee, to locate Rev. P. Melville, for a year, at a fixed salary of 8600, to be provided from the Mission Funds ; the efforts of the people, for tho present, being directed to church and school-house building, and to meet expenses for the con- veyance of the minister over this somewhat extended settlement. Of the fruit of the labour expended thero Mr. Melville reports: — "The results already begm to gladden our hearts, and many are now thanking God and tating new courage. The regular diets of worship are thronged every Sabbath, although tho houses of meeting are not indeed large. We have regular prarer meetings on both the roads. Already we have five Sabbath schools and three secular schoolu in active operation. The elders are zetdous, active, and devoted ; the people are willing and industrious, as well as prudent and thrifty. They are now making arrangements to build suitable school-houses, for the schools are held in private houses, as well as the other meetings hitherto. Tho people are also resolving to do their utmost to erect a comely church, as an Ebenezer-memorial in their midst, where they and their children, through the years to come, may devoutly assemble to worship the 54 APPENDTX.

Glabstille, &o.— Coining down the St. John River from Victoria Connty to York, we may look at another inviting litld of labour, Florenceville and GlaHBville, which, with Green- field, Shiketihawk, and Carr'n Corners, were placed last Hummer under charge of Mr. Edward Scofield, theological student from Union, New York. At Florenceville lie conducted Bervic<' in a Congregational chapel, the PrenbyteriimH having the uh(! of it, and not owning one for them- selves, — audience about seventy-five, and somewhat mixed in a denominational point of view. At Greenfield the Presbyterians own and occupy a handsome Uttle clinrch, which gradually filled up, until there was no feats left \uioeeupied. GlasBville, however, which is mainly a Scotch colony about fourteen years of age, h the main stay of the Presbyterian cause here, and its people, if soon and well supplied with a minister, will i^ventunlly become a flourishhig con- gregation. The Central Church is finished to seat 200; its membeisbip, fifty; attendance in- creased until the church was comfortably filled. Preaching was divided between the different places, Sabbath schools visited and aided, 150 families visited, by llev. 11. McKay, the Lord's Supper was administered, and eight children baptii'.ed. 3. Richmond and neiohhoubhood. — This i 'strict included preaching-plaoes at Houlton, McKenzie'B Comer, Oak Mountain, and Eel Riv.r, in in Carleton County, nnd contiguouH to and in part belonging to the charge of Rev. R. McKay, of Richmond. But there was ample room for the devoted and successful labours of Mr. Schaff, son of the well-known professor and historian. Resides preaching twi( n at least every Lord's Day, Mr. Schaff attended forty- five prayer-meetings during his term of four and a-half months, delivered forty-one brief ad- dresses, made 155 pastoral calls, addressed Sabbath schools eighteen times, and preached twenty- nine sermons. In conjunction with Rev. R. McKay, he organized a Sabbath school at Eel River, on old world witli tlio nr w.

Prayer ineetinRR and Uabbath aohooltt were alHo hcM v ith much encouragement and hiktohh. A hundred fumilieH wore viaited, and the labonra of iU v. MeNerH Sprott, of the olden ..Jie, of Mr. Waddell of a later day, and very fipecially the iseal, perseverance and devotion of Mr. Dickie, tho real bishop of this whole region, are bringing forth good fruit, and giving promise of another link in tho chain from Halifax to Sherbrooko. UIRiKlONB IN THR PBBaBYTERT OF LUNKNnCHon. Throe Cateohists, all f"om the Theological School of Halifax, were sent respectively to the nlack liook and harbours near tho town of Lunenbnrgli, to New Dublin and to the districts of Uiversdalu, Northfiold, the llraneh and Springfield. Mr. Creelman did his work well in the flrHt of these districts ; Mr. Mcdregor followed up most successfully tho work of a former year at New Dublin, extending his field to La ITave Islands, containing about 50 families, of whom one fifth are Presbyterian, by preaching there monthly, tho services being attended not only by tho adherents of tho church, but by the people generally. Under the fostering caro of tho Presbytery, than which none in the Body are more alive to missionary work, and more willing to respond to the Macedonian cry, this region will doubtless in another year or so, be the seat of a new and thriving congregation of God fearing people, who will be engaged in sending the joyful message to others who may bo without a Pastor, as they now are. Tho third district was described in last years' report from information furnished by Mr. Creelman, who was followed a year ago by Mr. Thomas Murray, and the result has been that, the people have commenced to build a manse, have called Mr. Murray to bu their Minister, their call has been accepted, and another membe.- has been added to tho Presbytery of Lunenburgh and Yarmouth. Thus a most destitute part of tho county of Lunenburgh has been supplied with a faiihful preacher of tho glorious Gospel. "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings!" There is something especially cheering in tho occupancy of a new watch tower, from which to publish tho message of peace ! In the appended lists, names of Preachers and Catechists will bo found concerning whom no special record is entered in this report, but it does not follow that they were less laborious, less faithful or even less successful. A selection had to bo made, and the choice was deter- mined more by the place than by tho man, the design being to refer to places least known, nnd in different parts of our land. And if the labours of all the Catechists, have been equal or very nearly so, for such a band and for the work which thoy have been enabled to do, the Church should be profoundly thankful. Tho blessing which enricheth has not been withheld from those who have been employed as Evangelists, without enjoying tho training of the theological Class- room. Without introducing names, the Committee can say that they have ample testimony that their work has not been iu vain in the Lord. III.-GAELIC CATECHISTS. Gaelic Catechists have been employed for more than a qnarter of a century on the island of Cope Breton, chiefly because the congregations were so extensive, and travelling so diffieult, that it was impossible for the minister to visit and catechise all who were under his charge. As the congregations become limited in territorial range this class of oftice-bearers may be superseded. At present — in the opinion of the Presbyteries on that island— thr; are still necessary in some districts. C'.'hey are in most cases Elders, not only in years but in ofiice, are men of piety and experience, and are willing to accept a small remuneration fs^r much time given to the visitation of the sick, the conducting of prayer meetings, and the catechising of the young. Eight of these have been employed during the past year, some within and some beyond the bounds of organized congregations, aj>d their diligence and devotion approved by their respective Presbyteries. Their names, locality, Presbyterial connection, and rate of pay- ment, will appear in Appendix No. IU. SnUMABT.

Ilov. I'eter Hope has remitted from the funds of tho Colonial Committee of the Free Church of Scotland, the Hum of £1(K) sterling, designed and applied practically for the benefit of the congregation of New Kincar- dine; and the Uev. D. \VU8on, of Limerick, has remitted £1CU sterling, of which sun. £60 are specially for New Drnnswiok, and all has been applied under direction of tho Supplementing Committee, in aid of tho weaker charges. But in addition to this munificent gift, tho some church has sent to our aid Rev. Andrew fiurrowii, of Watorford, providing for his outfit and passage, and he has entered on his work with every prospect of success. Wo have also the prospect of a second labourer from the same source, to aid us in securing permanent supiilv- for the congregation of Ulnssville. For aid so generously given, in both forms, this Church will be deeply thankful, and we feel assured that tho prcHence amongst us of men who have thus been received as gifts from the parent churches, will bind us together by affections and sympathies which will descend to generations yet unborn. Oiu financial exhibit is favourable and encouraging, and in presenting it we shall give receipts and disbnrscmentB for tho whole work of Homo Missions, mcluding the supplementing of tho new and weaker congregations. A Statement of Receipts by Presbyteries and of Drafts by Presbyteries, will be found in Appendix No. IV. Any comparison with former years seemB in the circumstances neither prac- ticable nor desirable. In closing this report we would record gratitude to Cod, for giving to cur Preachers and Catechists, during the year, strength and will to servo Him, and for giving them favour with the people. We believe they have abounded in labours, and that their work has not been in vain in the Lord. On some portions of the field, the Lord's blessing has descended in refreshing Fhowcrs, and nearly all the land cultivated has been moistened with the dew of heaven. For vhat has been done, the Lord be praised 1 We have a mission field down by the Sea. We have not a great North- West, we have not vast outstretching prairie lands to be filled with a teeming population ; but we have a pt ople on farm and forest, by sea and river.

THE EEPOBT OF THE WESTERN SECTION OF THE FOREIGN MISSION COMMITTEE, 1875-6. In reviewing the For'>ign Jlission work of the Western Section of the Chnrch, during the year, your Committee regret that they are not able to report something more worthy of the canse, and more commensurate with the rexources of a portion of the Church so amply endowed with men and means. The year has not been marked by any very decided advancement in this depart- ment of the Church's work. No addition has beeu made to the number of labourers employed, and the contributions have not been what the enlarged constiuency of the United Church might have secured. Perhaps sufficient time has not elapsed since the recent Union to bring all the machinery of the Church into full working order. Allowanco, also, may be made for the severe monetary pressure felt in many sections of the Chur-ii. It would certainly have been more satisfactory had the missionary enthusiasm of the Church been such as to surmount all dilliculties and enable your Committee, at the close of the tiriit year of the history of the Presbyterian Church in "Cuuadii, to report a larger number of labourers in the field, and an overflowing treasury. This satisfaction is denied. The work carried on during the year is that inherited from the late Canada Presbyterian Church. Repeated efforts have been made since last Assembly to secure ad'litional uiispionarieB for various portions of the tield.but owing to u varic^ty of causes, these attempts have not, up to the present time, been successful. It is hoped that, in some instances, good results will yet flow from the efforts made in this direction. The work which your Committee has conducted during the year, falls into throe departments, viz.: — t. MISSION AMONG THE IKDIAXS IN THE NOBTH-WEST TEKBITORIKS. At Prince Albert, on the Saskatchewan, Rev. II. McKellar, assisted by Mr. John MacKay, as interpreter and missionary catechist, has laboured with great eiu'r(,'y and zeal during the year. A very encouraging measure of success has attended your missionaries in this field. It has scarcely, however, been the kind of success looked ff r when the mission was established. Within a few years the work at Prince Albert has almost entirely changed its character. The Indians following the buffalo, on which they largely subsist, are steadily movint' westward. Thih chief h .nuts are now nearly 150, or 200 miles west of Prince Albert. At certain seasons of the year they come eastward, and considerable numbers of them remain for a longer or shorter time in the neigh- bourhood of the mission. There opportunities are carefully employed by Mr. JIcKellar and Mr. MacKay to proclaim to as many of them, as possible, the Gospel of Christ. Mr McKellar has baptized several Indians during the y<'ar. But while Prince Albert is yearly growing less suitable as a centre of Indian work, it is becoming rapidly more important as a Homo Mission Field. A lar},'e English-speaking settlement has sprung up around the mission. It has now a population of at least four hundred, aud it is constantly increashig. The rich soil, excellent climate, and entire freedom from the ravages of the grasshoppers, have drawn many settlers from Red River to this locality. Until recently, the English-speaking residents around Prince Albert were entirely dependent, as they still are largely, on your mission for the means of grace. Mr. McKellar has not allowed the Indian work to lead hun to overlook the spiritual interests of the settlers, who are largely, Presbyterians. He preaches regularly to them, at four different stations. The work of the Bible Class, the Sabbath School, and the Prayer Meeting, is carried on among them. For some time your Committee have aided the settlers with a grant of $200 per annum, to enable tliem to maintain a common school for their children. This grant was made on the twofold condition that the school should be free to the Indian children who desired to attend it, and conducted in a manner sati3faotoi7 to the Missionary in charge. A change of teacher having become necessary, application was made to the Committee to send out one suitable for the position. After careful inquiry, they were led to select Mr. Robt. G. Thompson, of Prescott, a young man whom they had ample reason to believe was .-pecially qualified for the work. An able teacher, a devoted and succesful Christian w-orker, and an acceptable speaker, anxious to fit himself for the Gospel ministry, the Corcmittee when they had secured his services as a teacher and ^Missionary Catechist, deemed themselves peculiarly fortmiate. But the great Head of the Chnrch had other work in store for him. Severe sickness was sent to him, under which his constitution sank, and ui the beginning of last month, at the time when we had hoped that he and his young wife would be journeying over the prairies to their home in the far west, God called him to higher services, and her to widowhood. His pastor writes, "The whole town, as well as my own Congregation, deeply mourn his death ; for every body seemed to claim him as their own." In his removal the Mission has sustained not only a disappoint- ment, but a heavy loss. Your Committeee trust that the Lord, who has called away one so If IK I-'- ' '■ If'-'. ' h-- i i; , 158 APPENDIX. well qualified, will gwide to the selection of some one equally adapted for the position. Mr. MoEellar pleads ciiruebtly for ivuother oidjiiued misBioiinry for Prince Albert, and the death c>f Mr. Thompson miikcs it more necessury that the misBiouary staff sluiuld be speedily reinforced. At Okanasue, near Fort Telly, Bev. George Flett luis laboured nmon^ the Indians with a considerable mcasuie of success. From his familiarity with the lanK'uaKo and customs of the Crces ho has siiocial cjualilications for tho work. Mr. Flett was ordaint'd as a niinintLT of the Gospi'l laKt sumuKT by the Presbytery of Manitoba. Ho has Sflecti'd, as tho Head-quarters of his Mission, one of tho Btscrvos sot apart for the Indians, whoio a considcrablL" body of them nro hkcly to become permanently resident. Rev. Dr. Black, throUKh whom Mr. Flett's reimrts usually come, writes tliat he has had access to a larp' number of Indians. It is aluo mentidued that Mr. Flett has baptized pixteen Indians and one White, thi.' ^Teater part of whom are believed to be children. On the 28th November, Mr. FleU, for the first time, di.'ip( used tho Sacrament of the LordVs Supper, when nine ccmmuuicant.'< jiartook of the ordinr.uce, nix of whom aro Whites, and tliree ludiaus. II. MISSION TO CHINA. In this field two ordained inissionaries, Eev. 0. L. Mackay and Rev. Dr. Fraser arc labouring, aided by a body of native helpers. It is now four years and three months, since Rev. G. L. Mackay landed at Tamsui, a treaty port in N rthern Formosa, and commenced this Mission. His abundant and self-denying labours have been signu'"'' blessed. Few Missions have yielded such early fruit. One year ago, Mr. Mackay reported tiu. lu^ had received 37 converts into full communion. This year he does not mention tho number of communicants, but states there aro at least four hundred regular hearers who have renounced idolatry. Nine chapels have been built and are supplied regularly by the missionary and his helpers. Other chapels ■will soon be erected, and a band of six young men are now undergoing a course of training, by which it is hoped, they will soon be fitted for effectively declaring the Gospel to their fellow countrymin. Rev. Hugh Ritchie of the English Piesbyterian Mission in the south of Formosa, whose recent visit to Canada will long be remembered with pleasure by those who met with him during his brief sojourn, spent a short time with Mr. Maekay and Dr. Fraser in November last. After seeing all the stations occupied b.,' the Canadian Church he returned to the South, accompanied by Mr. Mackay and his nine native helpers. Mr. Mackny writes of this tour; " Beginning at Lai-Sia, We continued our work, going from Station to Station, until we pasred through tho whole southern field and then returned to Tai-wan-foo, to hold tho first eou-- ferenco ever held in Formosa, in which the northern and southern churches were npiest ntid. Including missionaries, helpers, elders, deacons and a few members, there were present neiuly lOOiuaU." In this conference, various important topics, bearing on the Church's life and prosperity ■were discussed in a brotherly sjiirit, and at the close of their meetings, tho whole company together sat down at the Table of the Lord. In the last letter received from Mr. Maekay, dated 9th March, he says, " I am now in the country, and have seen my dear colleague, Dr. Fraser, only once since I returned from the south of the island and came hero. I am tenchhig several students and preaching twice every day. Two of them were teachers for many years, and one was a vegetarian of tho straitest sect of the Buddhists. I teach them the Bible, Geogniphy, Astronomy and History. In due time wo shall have six young men, apart from the nine helpers, who will be able to go forth and tell the story of redeeming love. I might have opened more than a dozen chapels before Dr. Fraser aiiived, and we might have established (luite a number since, but it is important to have the work thorough and compact. Indeed this is absolutely necessary, if we would have a vigorous working church amongst such a people as the Chuiese. Until now, we have had young men always at hand when needed. In this way, the different departments of the work have advanced together. Following out the same idea, we expect ere long to plant several stations, and have young men trained to take charge of them. There is one thing about our work here which you must bear in mind: you c not judge of the progress made, by lociking simply at the number admitted into Communion. If regular hearers who have renounced idolatry were baptized, we would have a Communion roll of 400, or more. In a few weeks, we expect to commemorate the dying love of Jesus, and I think several will sit down with us for tho first time. Yon will remember nine chapels are in full operation, five schoools in working order, six students preparing for the great work before them, and the hospital removing prejudices. The truth is, you would require to come out and see, before you could form any conception of what the Lord has accomplished here. Wliy should not the General Assembly appoint a man to come out and see this needy field? I may state that I have preached the Gospel in nearly every town and village of Northern Formosa, and that the helpers are doing a good work around the chapels." Mr. Mackay adds, " You will be glad to know that Dr. Fraser is very successful in carrying on the Medical Mission work." During the year, Dr. Fraser has resided at Tamsui. In studyin.q; the language, superintend- ing the erection of tlie Mission houses, and carrying on the work of the hospital, lie lias found ample «mplo}-ment for his energies. He has, l^iowever, found time to make a few visits to the country APPENDIX. 159 stntions, and pspccially ilnriiiK Mr. Mackny'H nbsouoc iu the 8nutli, was cuablecl to rcmlor nin-t valuablo Horvioo in KUstaiuiiiK aiul Kiiiilinj,' thu couverts iu tlio trials and persfCiUidUs to wliich tln'y wcru cxpoHwl. From a vory full ami iutorimting priuteil Report ti tho Taiurtui Mixlical Hospital for 1875, which Dr. Franur has tranniuittotl to lis, wo g\vn.u the following facts. l)r. Fraser coni- mcncrd his work in thu Hospital on tlui 15th February, 1875, ho that tho Report covers only a period of ten months and a half. During that time ho treated 1,489 now patients, and 1,571 old patients, making a total of 8,000. Persons of both sexos, and of all ages and occupations iivuil themselves of tlie privileges offered them in tho Hospital. "Most of those who come are greatly roli(!ved, or permanently cured. A few are hopeless cases and hav(! to be sent away as they came. On tho whole, liowevor, wo cainiot but coiicludo, and we do so with devout gratitude to the great Physician, that during tho j'ear, tho Hospital has douo much to relievo human suffering, to give the Chinese a better opinion of the skill and generosity of tho foreigner whom they so universally despise and hate, and to pave tho way for tho reception of tho Truth as it is in Jesus, which is ablo to save tho soul. Religious services aro hold and tho Gospel is .preached every morning and evening, so that those who wi/l hear way. Iu this way th'i missionary character of tho work is fully maintained. The good sood is sown from day to day : tho result will be known when tho wheat is gathered into tho garner. In the Hospital work. Dr. Fraser has enjoyed throughout tho year the able and eutirely gratuitous aid of Dr. Ringer, a resident medical nniu, who lias most generously given the jiatients of tho Hosintal tho benefit of his skill. From the rajiid extension of tho work in Northern Formosa, aud tho marked success whicli has crowned it, it is most desir- able that a third Misbiouary should bo sout to that field as souu an possible. d iu carrying on III. MISSION TO INDIA. It was the liope of your Committee that they would havo been able to report to the General Assembly that ouo or two ordained missiouwies had been, if not sent forth, at least secured to labour in Central India. In this hope thoy have been disappointed. Misses Fairweather '"d Rodger conthnie to bo the only reprcaentatives of the Canadian Church in India. These yc;';ig ladies havo remained at Rakha, near Futtehgurh, during the year, and havo laboured in that inter- esting field with a very encouraging measuro of success. They havo charge of the orphanage and the superintendence of a number of schools in tlu' neighbouring villages, which are taught by native Christian women. At suitable hours iu the day thoy also take part in the Zenana work which is found exceedingly interesting. They find ready access to the women in their homes, and have constant opportunities of instructing the mothers of India, who aro the principal associates of th(! youth of both sexes in their earlier years. In tho course of these domiciliary visits, they are ablo to carry the Gospel to hoathen and Mahommedan homes. The children in the schools display much aptitude iu ac(iuiring tho knowledge of the Word of God, and in committing to memory the Catechism, which is regularly taught. In tho singing of Gospel hymns they evince also the grentust pleasure. During the past year several girls have been bupti/ed upon their profession of faith iu Christ, and a number more are iinsiously empiiriiig the way of salvation. Your missionaries bear the most cordial testimony to the abuudaut and faithful labours of the brethren of the American Presbyterian Church, under whose care they have beou workiug, aud also to the unremitting kindness which they havo experienced at their hands. From the information which the young ladies had received, they anticiiiated the early arrival from Canada of au ordained missionary to organize a mission iu the Province of Indore, or iu some part of Central India, witii whom they might labour for tho heathen, iu direct connection with their own Church. When they learned, however, that his attention was turned to another department of missionary work, and to a distant part of the field, they were greatly disappointed. They have, since that time, been earnestly pleading with the Commitee to make increased eli'iu'ts to obtain a suitable missionary for Indore. Miss Fairwtmther writes : "Wo all wish to see a Presbyterian powor iu the great c(uitre at Indore. Think of the millions iu that native state, and not one missio'iary to tell the glad tidings ; and, is it right to let tho last clasp in tho chain of our Presbyterian frontier be taken by people, however worthy, of a different faith ? I do earnestly hope that Bomothiug may be done. God will surely raise up some strong (earnest heart to labour for Him there." Your Committco havo felt the weight of such appeals. They have put forth repeated efforts to secure one or more ordauied missionaries for this section of India, but they regret to state that thoy havo not, up to the proseut, been successful. They are engaged iu corres- pondence, with tho view of secuiing tho services of a missionary of high qualifications. Aud while they cannot forecast tho result, they trust the day is not distant when the Presbyterian Church iu Canada will bo found side by side on tho Indian battle field among the other Churches that have gone " to help tho Lord against the Mighty." Your Coinmitteo bog to call special attention to tho following Statement of the Receipts and Payments for the year : — RECEIPTS : Balance on Laud at begiuuing of rear 9 8,761 58 Gross Receipts from 1st May, 1875, to 30th April, 1S76 14,811 85 ?;i3,573 43 100 APPENDIX. ti'^: rATUENTi: On aat iwai of FnrmoMA 917.4S5 R4 SaHkrttchowan 8,869 8» •♦ lud n 1,200 00 •• Bev.

It wan felt tlmt in auch a trying climate ns Ncrthein Formosa, the erection of houses could not safely bo delayed any longer. The cost is much gr<'iiter than was anticipated wheii the work wasconnnenced, but is really lesn tlmn tiiat for which almost any housen of similar character have been erected on the island. For the site, one of 'i.o finest wliicli could be foiiid anywhere JfilS were paid, while upon the building themselves #10,421 were expended. When the total cost of the hous".-, 011,090, is dedi'i'ted from the entiie imyments, it haves 911,23(», as the expenditure '^f the yer.r for ordinary virposos, a sum of 98,575 less than the income. There is certainly nothing in this position of atrairs which need deter the Chur Ji from embarking in additional work. Tour Comm'ttee, guided by the instructions of the General Assembly of the late Canada Presbyterian Church, with the \i"ew of securing the more full co-operation <.f the female member- ship of the Church in support of the W(mien who are employed as missionaries among the heathen, took steps to imve organized a Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, as an auxiliary of your Committee. A meeting of ladies interested in the work was called by public notice, and after the necessary steps were taken, a Constitution was ndopt'd, a copy of which is appended to this .Report, and thereafter a Society wr.s duly organized. This Society proposes to aid your Com- mi'tee in its work among the women and children of heathen countries. This Society desires to orgiinizi) brnnches iis generally as poshiblo over the Church so as to enlist the entire mass of the earnest Christian woni"-! of the Church on behalf of their lienthen sisterhood and their children. T!.(' Society, as its Const, tution shows, in no way interferes with the regular ecehtsiastical su])er- vision and control of the labourers emi)loye(u It is constructed in thorough loyalty to the recog- nized princijdes of Presbj-terianisra. It iias only been organized a low inontlis, but it has entered with zeal and e-ierg^- upon it» work. It has already um'erta .i to su))port one of the young ladies now labouring in Inlia. This is only a very small instalment of the good which may bo expected to result from this Society. Your Coiumittee are fully convinced that, if thi^ movement is encouraged by the (teneral Assembly, and fostered by the Cburch, not only will it result in a large increase in contributions for work among the heathen, but it will, in its reflex influence prove a rich blessing to tlie Church in all its higher interests And the opjiortuno nature of this movement to aid missionary elTort among heathen women and ch'ldrei will appear from a single fact which only reipiires to be mentioned. Seven young ladies are at the present moment oflferiug themselves to your (^>mnlittee as missiou- sries to the heathen. It is certainly not too soon that special effort sliould be made to secure tho means to send them forth. Kev. J. F. Campbell, at tho request of the Foreign Mission Board of the Maritime Provinces, has prior to his departure for India, visiteil as many congregations as possible, in the Westcn'n Secticm of the Church, with the view of exciting a deeper interest in tho work of Foreign Missions. Since the month of January he has devoted himself entirely to this service, with gri^at energy and success. According to arrangements made for him, he has been able to address a largo number of congregations in Quebec and Ontario. And your Committee have reason to believe that these visits have exerted a very hanpy influence, and that when Mr. Cami)bell goes forth to his work, he will carry with hira the prayers and affectionate interest of many in the Western Section of the Church. Yotir Committeeo cannot close their report withoiit alluding to the loss they havo recen' sustained by the death of one of their number, Mr. Adam Gordon, M.P., for North Ontario. M. Gordon was distingm'slied for his warm and intelligent interest in the cause of Foreign Missions. For a number of ye".'s ho was a member of tho Foreign Mission Committee, and always evinced by his liberal contribuvio'is, and by his regular atteudaaco on the meetings of the Committee a deep interest in the prosperty of the work. He was one of a few public men, who could, amidst tho multifarious call of a jiublic life, find time to attend to the interests of the cause. The sudden and unexpected removal of one of their number in the vigonr of his strength and in the midst of his usefuluesR, calls them to work while the day lasts, knowing that the night cometh when no man can labour.

The objects aimed at in the subjoined report of the Eastern Section of the Committee of the Geueiiil Assembly on Foreign Missions are: First. To lay before the United Church a brief description of the Missions conducted by the I'hurches from the Maritime Provinces, now united, so that iiU who read it in connection with a similar statement of the Western Section, may lie able to form a general idea of tlie missions of the Church as a whole, the numlier of missionaries and other agents employed, and tho peculiarities of tho work iu which they are all engaged. Secondly. To submit to the Church through its General Assembly a brief account of the work accomphshed during the past year. Tho Foreign Missions of the General Assembly directed by this section of the General Com- mittee aro two, the mission fields being widely senarated geographically, and ipiite distinct iu character. Uotli aro located in the isles of the sea, but while one is near our own continent, tho other is on the other side of the globe. It may bo as well iu this review to commence with that which is nearest home, and the junior iu age. OUR TRINIDAD MISSION Has for its object tho evangelization of natives of India who are living either temporarily or permanently iu the West Indies, and more especially in the Island of Trinidad. The missioa originated in a visit to that island by Mr. Morton for health some ten years ago. He there saw a largo body of Asiatics, chiefly Huidoos, from India, indentured to labour for five years, with the privilege of reti.. a at the expiration of that time. The British Govevument took care that they Bhould be treated as men, not as slaves, and that wholesome food and medical attendance should be provided. While tho body was thus cared for, no provision appeared to be made by either Chiu-eh or State for their souls. The sjiirit of the young traveller was stirred within hiin, and ou returning home, he laid the facts before his Synod, and asked them to send the Gospel to the Coolies of Trinidad. After the delay of a year for frll inquiry, the information gathered, and the providential indi- cations bU pointing iu the same iliixctiou, the Syuod unanimously determined to sen(^ a missionary, fi, IS Up H 1-1 in -' 102 APPENDIX. mill Mr. Morton wtmt fnrtli, niul ooniiupiincd nt onooto luy tlio fouinlntliUKi on which ho nml otliiTi HhciiiM Imilil.

HespectinK some jiarts ..f tlii' titdd, I can only report tliat we have endeavoured faithfully to HOW the seed ; hut there is as yet neither hlade nor lar to indicate what the coming liarve-'t will ho. Even on slU'li e-^tates, iiowever, tlu' door is ojien, for wv are received with respect, and our nlessa^'e listened to with some interest. In other cases there is a manifertt interest in the truth. Advance has heen made in liiiowled^'i' — prejudices have hccu thrown away, and some have holdly nvowed their faith in Christ. 1 have only hapti/ed two during; the year; hut on one estnte tin r.' me ten ciindidates for )ia|)tism, and souie six or seven others ari' likely to apply soon. On another I'state there are two candidates for haptisin, and on several estates there are individuals and fjroups under reK'ilr/ instruction, some of whom we hope to see declarint,' themselves soon. Thesis are the more apjiari :it results. Hut while the doctriiu's of Christianity ar(^ known aiul discussed somewhat extensively, it uuist ho confessiHl that the ureal mass of the |ieo))h! aro as yet luaiitieally unin- fluenced hy the truth. I write thus that the rliurch may see the peat ni'ed tlieic is for prolonged rfl'oits ami eiiruest prayer, that a few encourattini,' facts may not so lill tlie foreground as to cause fort'etfulness of the dark hackKround of thousands living witluait (linl and without hope.

The Sau Fernando school may ho regarded as the lii(,'h school of the mission. So far it has been aided hy Government as a school doing puhlic work; anil therefore religious instruction has not heen imparted during school hours, as iu other schools to lie referred to suhsequently. The instruction imparted is iu English and tho same remark is true of all the schools. The proprietors who are lihcral in supporting them, prefer this, and the Missionaries prefer it, as tho English will be the H])oken language, and the fountains of Christian literature thus become more accessible to those who may acquire a taste for learning. Tliis school has been maintained iu its accustomed usefulness during the year.

In estimating this liberality we must not forget that there are members of ouv Cburcli in Cnnadn, with many acres of land under culture, and a large stock, wlio drive their s]iaii and carri- age to the House of God, who have bad years of instruction and privilege, who do not give bnlf BO mucli for the support of (udinances, as these Asiatics of liniiteil means.

III. COUVA DISTRICT, UKDER CBAROE OF BEV. THOMAS SI. CHRISTIE. Mr. Christie's report for tbe year, lieing at once comprehensive and concise, is submitted in full as the best account of the year which can be furnished. 0% Am mx.. t'u- K IP-* ^ 164 APPENDIX. " The past yenr we feel has been one of proHperity, and one in which we have '•eoeived many .iokeUH •of love and favonr from the Master we serve. We have enjoyed on the whole good healtli, althongk it has been an nnhealthy year on thj island ; yet, with the exception of two or three weeks in November, I have not been hindereath morning for Sabbath School. After this they go to the hospital, or to one of the barracks, where the i)eople live, to read the Bible to them. They liave also taught many of the men to read the llible in their own language. They are thus sowing, though in many instances, of course, very imperfectly, the seed of the Word which in God's good time will bring forth fruit. Even now, so far as I can learn, a largo number of those interested in the Christian religion have been led to it in the beginning by tliG teachers. Those teachers should be made the object of special prayer at the prayer meetings of our churches. Last year I reported throe schools in operation in Conva, those in Espernnza, Sevilla and Exchange. The work in these has continued mucli the same as before. I am glud to rejiort that during the past year two more schools liave been opened so that there is n<>w accommodation for all the children on the estates in my field. There a'-o still, however, some largo settlements of free Coolies at a distance from any estate, and in which i.iere are no schools. The two new sclmols are culled Perseverance and S])ring. The former on Perseverance estate, was or^ned in February, and the latter in July, in a house built for the puqiose in Spring village. The land was given by a pro- ])rietor of an estate in the neighbourhood, and the cost of tlie building was fi)r the most i)art defrayed from the bequest of the late Mr. McDonald, of Green Hill. The scIumiI, to all apjiearanco, will bo the largest in my field, and the building wUl serve as a church for the Coolies who live in that part ■of the country. A roll has not been kept of the attendance in the Sabbath Schools, but it will average about 12 for each school. PBEACBINQ SERVICES. Preaching services have been held in the hospitals and Coolie Barracks on the estates, and also in a room in my yard. The latter wera held principally for the benefit of the professing Christians and enquirers, and were often more of the nature of a Bible class. The services on estates wer" for the most part held on Sabbath, occasionally on week days. Sometimes I take the whole service myself, but usually I am accompanied by one of the teachers. I have found these men a great help especially in the singing. Three of them are very good singers of Indian music, and we have a collection of nearly three hundied hymn 'n Hindi, which are mostly set to Indian tunes. The Coolies are very fond of singing, and with it we may get a congregation of fifty or sixty, while if we have no smging we might not have more than ten or fifteen. The usual form of service is as follows : 1. Singing and short exposition of the HjTnns. 2. Address. 3. Hymn with exposition. 4. Conclude with prayer.. In this way the interest can easily be sustained for an hour. Tlie number of people in attendance varies greatly. On some estates, and under favourable circumstances, we have from seventy to one hundred ; on other estates and especially on a Sabbath immediately after a pay day, we may not have more than a dozen. They almost always listen very attentively and teem glad to hear the word. Until the close of 1874, all baptisms had been enrolled in a common book, but from January 1st, 1876, it was agreed that each missionary have a separate Church roll. At that time there were residing in my field five members . since then two of them have removed to Mr. Morton's field. APPENDIX. 1G5 1 average about of fittv or Bixty, During the year I baptised four, all youug men, ho there are now on my roll seven. Four others have applied for bapti.sm, cu three of whom I expect to administer the ordinance >joou. In the mean- time they are under instruction. In November I received word that the Board had nanctioued the appointment of a oateohist to labour in my Held, and on the 1st day of December I employed Balaram in this capacity. He is a young man of good character and attainments, p'ld from what I have seen of his work during the past month, I feel that he will be of great assistance to me. So far as Couva is concerned we have now, to a large extent, the requisite machinery ; what is needed is the fire from above, which the Lord gives in answer to the prayers of his people. We know that many have been praying for us hitherto, and we hope that, although many changes are taking place, and many new objects are brought before the church, we may still be often remem- bered in the sanctuary and in the homes of God's people. We are few in number, and there are on this island nearly forty thousand people, who are as really heathen as any in India, and what is a greater obstacle, there are as many more who while nominally Christians are as bad as the heathen. Respectfully submitted, Thomas M. Clark, Intlian Missionary, Couva, Trinidad, January, 187(5. It will thus be seen that in the Trinidad Mission tliere are three Missionaries, each having charge of his own district, and all acting in concert for the common good. Each has an assistant native evangelist. Mr. Morton is aided by Josui)li Annagee, Mr. Grant by Lai Behari and Mr. Christie by Benjamin Balaram. There is one superintendent of schools, and twelve teachers. There are about 460 scholars in these schools, all learning to read the Holy Scriptures, and to sing some of the songs of Zion, and some being instructed in other branches. We have a building forpublie worship for Asiatics, one of the first in AnuTicu. We have a regulai'ly ortranized Church. Wo have volunteer labourers from among these Asiatics. We have the buddings of Christian liberality. What element of jirosperity is theie that we have not reported to us? On the part of our devoted Missionaries, we have another year of work, of successful work, in the Lord's vineyard, — another year during which all the Missionaries have bi.'en able to do the work of Evangelists, another year of mercy to their families and assistants as well as to themselves, fever and sickness prevailing but not permitted to destroy. ^^'hile the Church should note these causes of gratitude presented in the review of the year, it should also consider the encouragements to extend the work. One of the most promising of these is the cordidl lO-opcration of most of the proprietors of estates. About one-third of the whole expense of the mission is provided by them. Mr. Christie's salary is thus furnished entirely, in- cluding house rent, amounting to about S1500 per annum ; anil if we estimate the aid furnished to schools in the three districts at ?1700, we have in all a contribution to our funds of about ?3,200 a yeai-. And there is room for double the number of Missionaries as quickly as they can be furnished. The Coolies are increasiuK. Hundreds arrive annually, and of late year few have left, so astheir uambers grow, Triuidail, unless evangelized, will certainly be heathenisi i. There are large districts containing Coolies which remain untouched, and in fact there is abcut one-half of the Coolie i)opulati(Ui among whom no missionary labours. And beyond Trinidad, are the 70,000 Coolies of Demerara, and beyond these are the millions of people of Venezuela, Brazil, and other i)riest-ridden countries of South America, who by their dissatisfaction with papal rule and sacerdotal ritualism, are indirectly inviting the evangelical Churches on this continent to send them the Gospel. The question should at least be well considered, -iiiu-thcr Proz'iiicnce is not dinctitii; us to our o^um continent for our main mission field. But should other views jirevail, and the East be preferred, and India Missions become the chief effort of this Church, may our young evangelists, trained for work among their fellow countrymen, bo drawn from Trinidad and become the most efficient labourers in the land of their fathers? Where wt? maybi! directed ultimately by the Great Leader, we know not, but thanks be unto G(h1, we know that His blessing is on this mission now, and the obligation is clear and strong to jirosecute the work with vigour, enlarging our staff and occupying new fields as God in His piovidence opens up our way. OUR NEW HEIlBinES MISSION is the oldest and most distant, originating thirty years ago with Dr. Goddie, who sailed for the New Hebrides, not knowing on what island he might land or how he would be received. But he did not go in ignorance tjf the character of his field. He was intimately acciuainted with the explorations of John Williams; and when the United Presbyterian Church declined to send missionaries to the New Hebiides a\ the suggestion of WiUiams, in'eferring Western Africa, Dr. Geddio proposed that the Pieslpyterian Church of Nova Scotia sliould do what she could to supply the dottcioncy. When his Chureli consented he knew that he had before him a voyage of montlis, which if prosi)ore(l, would bring him to islands of savages, utterly destitute of rohgion or civiliza- tion. Yet he >,ent like Abraham at the call of God, ond under the same guidance. It is no |)art of our duty in this rejiort to sketch the eventful narrative. Some years of labour, hard and liscouniging, were followed by a season of mingled light and darkness, ending however, in a bright and happy day. On Aneiteum clearly and fully, and on other islands of the group more i)artially, tlie Sun of Righteousness has arisen with healing in his wings. This Church maintains four missionaries in the New Hebrides, or one third of the whole Mission Band drawn in from Canada, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand. _ We subjoin a list of the whole fiu'ce with the posts occupied, and the Churches by whom sustained, and shall only refer in detail to the foiu* sujiported and controlled by this Assembly. -4 — " " f, 166 APPENDIX. I. ANEITEUM. — BKV. J. D. MCBRAT. Mr. Murray is Dr. Gedtlie's successor on this island, which has been nil nlonp the centre of Missionary oiieratious ui the Group. The first to eujoy Missionary labour, this island has become the first fruits of the Gosi^el. Rev. J. Inglis has been at his post at Anarue dnriug the gi'eat part of the year, tliou{,'h prei)aring for a return to his native land. Mr. Murray, in the Anelcauhat district, has laboured with no diminution of that wisdom ann zeal which has mr.rked his services ever since his arrival. Ho was absent nine weeks from his sta- tion, six being spent in deputation work, visiting the northern islands of the "roup, and still more lately he has been absent on furlong in New South Wales. During this )n'otractcd absence, the care of the station was intrusted, fur the greater part of the tiuus to the native helpers, to whose fidelity nnd diligence he bears cheerful testimony. Not that their services were perfect, or that they had attained to that condition of advfinci'UU'nt, tluit they are able to take charge, or to carry on the \\i)rk, without the superintending care of n regular Missionary. Mr. Murray concludes that, while the status to which they have come affords abundant cause for thanksgiving and perseverance ni evangelizing surrounding tribes on other islands, the day is far distant when they can be left to their own resoui'ces. The agencies employed are of course evangelistic and iducational : for though the Miasionaiy has manual and medical work to oeciipy his timi;, these are eutii<'ly subsidiaiy. Of his evangel- istic work, and the general state of the church under his charge, Mr. !Murray furnishes the following account. ETAKiiELISTIC. Under the first divisitm arc included the study of the native language, prencliing, cater', izing, visiting and such like. I jireach every Sabbath, either at tiie central station, or at one of the out stations. There are always two services during the day, besides the HalibatJi School. TIhtc are about a dozen men wliom I emi)loy as assistant i>reaehers. Before sending them forth to jue.icli, I usually meet with them for the purjiose of expounding to them the passages of Scriiiture which they select as texts. I liave had, during the greater )iart of the yeai- a class nf candidates for baj)- tism. This class has numbered twenty during the last six months. Of these, the majority wero yomig men, thii'teen of whom were recently received into the Church. There have been fourteeu in oil suspended on account of imnua'al C(mdiict. Over against these fourteen suspensions there has been an accession of thirty-five new members. The total number of members in full com- munion amounts now to 312, being an increase of six on the total number of the previous year. The total number received into the Church since our settlement in 1H72 has been sixty-one. The number of baptisms during the year has been forty-seven. Of these thiity-tliree were adults, and fourteen infants. The total number of baptisms since our settlement has been KXJ. Of these, fifty- eight were adults, and forty-eight children. The average attendance on public worship at the five fitatious is now, on Sabbath, about five hundred, and at the Wednesday i>rnyer-meetiiigs, about 250. Absent, as teacliers and servants to the missionaries on Tana and Efate, thirteen; of these six have gone forth during the past year. Absent in N. C'aled(mia and Queensland, as servants to tho traders, seventeen. There have been thirty-seven deaths, fourteeu births and twelve maiiiuges during the year. EDUCATIONAL. Mr. Jfurray's afternoon school taught by himself has been continued with good success; much eanu'stness and tact being reciuii'ed to induce any considerable number to aspire beyond tho simjilest elements of education. The schools taught by natives throughout tho island have been successful. Hero old and young continue to meet daily for reading, spelling, learning the CatecJiisin, and daily worship. The School Houses have been kept in repaii' by the people, and they have shewed generally an inquiring and a teachable spirit. SCrPOBT. The question has often been asked, has not the time come, when the Aneitumeso sliould shew their api)reciatiou of theii' privileges by pecuniary contributions ? In reply it must be stated that they have no money circulation, and that contribution in numey is Kim]ily impossible. Such as they have, however, they give, in proof of which the following facts aie gleaned from Mr. Murray's report. 1. They have done a 'argo amount of gratuitous work for their F.xstor during the year, as an acknowledgement of their obligation to support him, ui fencing, thatching and liouse-repairiug, rendered necessary by injury to house and church from a succession of more than 200 shocks of earthquake. They also ilid the chief part of the work in erecting an addition to the Mission-House. 2. The School-Houses tlu-ough the island are kejjt in repair, and two rebuilt which had been destroyed by tho tidal wave. 3. They ^m^pared and gave 4,000 lbs. of ari'owroot, being their annual payment to the British and Fi reign Bible Society, for the printing of theu- Scriptures, and 4. They have begun to make plantations for the native teachers, thus assuming their .support, Mr. Mun'ay's absence at New South Wales having been noticed, it nnist be added that this viai caused by the illness of Mr. Miuxay, and that the same cause requires that he should rctii-o APPENDIX. 167 from the New Hebrides. Under medical ndvice Mr. Murray lins reluctantly come to this detemii- nation, and his resignntiou is now in the hands of the Assembly's Committee. While this paper is under consideration, tlio Committee feel tliankfnl to learu from Kev. John In^'lis who for two months has been supiilying Mr. Murray's station, that at latest date, food was plentiful, public henith good, schools and churches well attended, and the people hajipy and contented. " Christi- anity," lie adds " has secured to them peace, and Providence lias showered down on them plenty." Mr. Murray has printed 1,000 copies of chapter 1st of first book of Samuel. g, cater'. iziuR, II. KXIROMANOA. — REV. H. A. ROnKETSON. Jlr. Eobertson labours on Erromanga, the mention of the name calling up recollections of Williams and Harris, of George N. and .Tames D. Gordon, all slain by the hand nf violence. Still Mr. Hobertson went forth in the spirit of •him who said, "none of tlieso things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself so tliat I might finisli my course with joy, and the ministry wliicli I have received of the Lord .Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God." And the Lord has preserved him, and opened up his way, and now we can report another year of hopeful work. If his teachers have been withdrawn from some posts, they have been sent to others more promising. If scliool-houses ami a church have been blown dowji by the hurricane, they liave been re-built and occupied, the island explored, and the following n>coid of jirogress made. " The Sacrament of the Lord's Suj-.per was dispensed at this station three Snbbatlis ago to thirty- four persons, namely, thirty Erromangnns, two Aneityumese, and two Euro)ieans. On Saturday previous, nine adults — five men and three women, were admitted to conmieniorate for tlie tirst time the SHvioin''s tleath. 'J'hero wer(^ five church members absent at the time, acting as teachers with missionaries of Nguna ami Fate, wliieh makes the numbi-r of Erromangan adult Church members tliirty-iive. Since then, a other married coui)l(,', both Cliurch members, have gone to assist Mr. and Mrs. ilacdonald iu their work at Havannah Harbour, Fate; and we have sent out again twelve teachers to districts over this island, and next week take another to his old ilistrict (juite near us. Those thirteen ti'achers do not occupy as many districts, but iu some jilaces they are placed down two l)y two. and on Salibath go out to as many villages as will hear tlie Gospel, besides tlieir regular district, where they tench and preach Christ to their fellow countrymen. Perhaps fiom 500 to r)40 natives attend Church more or less regularly over tliis island now." Au impartial testimony to the value and success of Mr. Robertson's labours, will Vie found in a letter from Itev. Inglis to Kev. A. McLean, Secretary of the Board of Fon'ign Missions, of the .Synou of the Maritime Provinces, in connection with the Church of Scotland, recently published. he should retire EFATE OR FATE, There are three Missionaries on this island. Rev. D. McDonald, son in law to Dr. G(Hldie at Ilavamiah Harbour, Rev. .1. W. McKenzie at Eraker, and Rev. J. Annand at Iririki, near Tila or Fil Harbour. Mr. McDonald is the Missionary of the Pivsb^-terian Church of Victoria, tlie other two of this Church. Mr. McKenzio succeeding Messrs. Morrison and Cosh, lias under his charge a small body of Christianized natives, but tlie other wo have dwelt in a wildeniess of heathen. Mr. McKenzie's work has been blessed during the j'ear as the following facts will show. 1. The jH'oplo of Erak^i niid Pango have shewn deeper interest in the Gospel, juoving their earnestness by tlu'ir use of the means of grace, and pretty generally by rehnquishing entirely tho use of " Kava," the strong drink of the New Hebrides. 2. The heathen villages of Eralap and Bufa, the population of which had evinced a declared hostility to Christianity, by shedding the lilood of a native teacher, and threatening the repetition of the deed unless they were left alone in their heathenism, have evinced a change, and Mr. McKenzie with a grateful heart writes, "The jieople of Eralap have come in at last, and have had a teacher living with them for more than two months. The first who came out from heathenism, were two young men who met with so nmch opposition from their chiefs, that they were compelled to Ieav«> their village. They moved to a small island about half a mile distant. In a short time another young man joined them, and then they asked for a teacher. After the teacher was settled the nwt gradually came to the worship, and now the whole village attend, and observe the Sabbath. The majority'of them have left tho old village and settled beside the teacher, and those who have not, cross over in their canoes on Sabbath morning, taking with them their food wliich they have prepared on Saturday, and remain until tho evening. Truly the Gospel is " tho pmoer of (tod." At Bufa matters arc also in an encouraging condition. About half a dozen observe the Sabbath, and several othei's attend service occasionally. We have not yet settled a teaclier there, but wo visit them regularly every Sabbath. We are now very hoinful about oiu- field, and will not be satisfied until all the villages within our reach are won to Christ. Mr. and Mrs. Annand, at Iririki, by Efil Harbour, are still working with faith and patience to pain confidence and the language of the tribe, near to whom they liave settled, ami it must be confessed that their progi'oss is slow and far from encouraging to tlumiselves. But they have continued at their post and propose no change, being strong iu faith in tho power of tho Gospel, and feeling assured that in duo time they will rerp if they faint not. And they are encouraged by the fact that Rev. Mr. McDonald, their fellow-worker at Havannah Haibour,has after yeius of ^^^ 168 APPENDIX. .■'I *', tearful Howiuf? Iil'kuh to gnthor in hi.-i sheave.s. We trust that their hopes mnybe realized, and that it may be fouud thiit the darke.st hour of the uight of Fate has passed, aud that a brighter day in dawning. ., A few facts remain to be noticed : I. BESFECTINO THE KEW BEBBIDES MISSION TXtSEL " DATSPRIKO." The Dayspritig i? the vessel employed in carryiup on the work of this Mission, and is supported by the annual contributions of the Sabbath Schools of the foUowiuR churches in Canada, viz.. The Presbj-terian Clmrch, Jlaritime, the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Hfotlaud section, and tho Presb^-terian Churches of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, New Zealfnd, and Ota«o and Southland. Tho affairs of tho vesssel aro managed by a Board in Sydney, appointed by the New Hebrides Mission Synod. Piiriug the' jiast year she has done her work admirably, having accomplished five voyapos amoux ami around the islands, occupied by tho Missionaries, and two voyages to Sydney. Besides carrying supplies to all the ^fission stations, and in the year she has can'ied Missionaries and their wives to Australia, on furlough, and brought them back when they were able to resume work. Her serN'ices to the mission are invaluable. II. BE8PECTING THE LABOrB TBAFriC. - The nefarious business which British officers as well as Chinese Missionaries have designated as kidnapping has bi'en checked, bnt not abolished. It has led to the death, by the violence of savage men, of that noble servant of Christ and of our Queen, Connnodore CJoodenough. It lias luretl, if it has not forced away from then- island homes, young men who were the hope of the Missionary. BESPECTING THE PBINTINO OF OOD's WOBD.

FBOOBESS AGAINST DIFFICrLTIES. It is clear that the evaugehzation of the people of the New Hebrides Islands present great difiSculties and must prove a work of faith and patience of time and toil. There are the hindrances Vv-hich flow from diversity of race and language, from their disjiersion over so many islands, and from their isolation from all contact with Christian civilization. The Missionary labour amciu>,' tribes demoralized and brutalized by ages of ignorance and of dogi-adation, and he labours in a ehmate enervating to the Eurojiean and British American ; and when we add to the perils of chnmte the loss of life and the demorali-.atiou resulting from the wicked labour traffic, wo present a serii's of discouragements of a most formidable chainicter. And yet the Mission ad-.'ances. The progress has been slow but unquestionably it has bttn rut! ; and the Missionary S.Miod at their last gathering ex))ressed their gratitude to God for its reality, and ajipealed to the Churches supporting tho Missions, for on increase on the number of their agents, aud to the Church in Scotland to send them men. Aneiteum and Aniwa are now Christian islands ; En-amanga, Fate, and others ore at present scenes of conflict, but they aro being won by Christ. (For stavistics see appendix.) ItnsSIOM TO MADBA8. A brief historical statement is all that seems called for from this Committee on this subject, aud that in its connection with Rev. J. Fraser Campbell. At an early nieetiug after the consummation of the Union, the fact of Mr. Campbell's acceptiinco as Missionary to the English speaking natives of Madras, by the Synod of the Maritime Province^, in connection with tho Church f)f Scotland, was shown by an Extract Minute of the jjroceediiiKs of that body, at a meeting held in Montreal. As farther and more definite information HppeareJ necessary before designation of Mr. Campbell to the proposed work could take place, a series of questions 'vas i)repared to elicit the information wanted respecting educatetl native youth jji Madras, ♦.heir numbers, their aocessibihty, the prospect of success, whether that department of Christian labour has been attempted, what relation Mr. Campbell as our missioliary »v(mld sustain to tho Indian Mission Committee of tho Church of Scotland, and to the local suiierintending Board at Madras, and that facilities for carrying on liJB work could by such oommittt-es be afforded to Mr. Campbell. On all these ])oints, in duo time, answf'rs highly satisfactory were received, and direction-' were given for the early publication of the facts elicited, and for correspondenoo with the Western portion of the General committee, based ou their present position in reference to the proi)osed Mission to Central India, and whether they would confer with us on tho whole subject cf Indian Missions. The reply of the Convener, informed us that the committee would not meet for Kome time; but. that he could inform us that from tho action U>,ken prior to Uuion by the Canndii Presbyterian Church, tho Committee felt waiTonted to decide or. a mission to ludore aud Mhow, Ml ) 'f' APPENDIX. 169 ;eil, and that ghter day U is supported la, viz., The tion, and tlio 1, TaHnmnift, ly a Board iu five voyaRos ley.

The way being opened up the following resolution, after due consideration, passed imanimously : "The Committee having considered the whole correspondence, express great satisfaction that so many facilities are offered for the prosecution of evangelistic work among the English- speaking native youth of Madras, and believing after consideration of Professor McLaren's communication, that Mr. Campbell's proposed work in Madras will not interfere with the projected mission to Central India, but rather be helpful to it, agi'co in accordance with the decision of the late Synod of the Maritime Proviiiues, to take measures to send Mr. Cai ■.nbell to labour in Madras, as soon after the meeting of the General Assembly as that court may determine."

It was burdened with a debt from the previous year of over tlu'eo thoutsand dollars. The Treasurer apjiointed liy the General Assembly declined to act, and the gentleman who consented to take his place was not prepared to make any advances. The salaries of Missionaries and other jiajniieuts fell due witli nothing in hand to meet them. Owing to the general financial tlepres8i(jn throughout the coimtry and other causes, appeals issued to the Cliurch for funds seemed for a time to be unheeded ; and such was the embarassment experienced that it was feared a considerable portion of the work would require to be altogether abandoned. This disastrous issue was averted jiartly by the kindness of a few friends who borrowed two thousand dollars, and chiefly by the Divine mercy and goodness in granting such success to the labours of our Missionaries as stirred up ministers and people to an unwonted degree of liberality ; so that now at the close of the year, the BofU'd is able to report result.-, vastly more satisfactc'ry, financially and otherwise, than have ever been lu'eseuted in couuec- tiou with French Evangelization to any Assembly in this country.

Tho people of this district are chiefly from Franco, and have enjoyed misHlonary Bervicoa for more than two years, uudor tho caro of tho Presbytery of Pictou. The remarkable and very gratifjing progress of the Gospel among them during the past year is attested to the Board by ih- Presbytery. The clerk, on the 28rd September last, wrote in these terms respecting the Mis> '^i\. firy, Air. PoUetier, and his work: "He has boon most successful in his work, and the people i ' sti'onnly attached to him. He possesses their entire confidence. A declaration of ProtestantiM. signed by 125 French jjeople, among whom Mr. Pelletier has been labouring, and who had been all Papists, was laid upon tho table of tho Presbytery at its last meeting, and asking tho coutinuanoo of ministerial supply among them. There are about eighty Frencli famihes in this locality, n number sufHcioiitly large to make an average congregation." Tho following information is taken from Mr. Pelletior's last report forwarded to the Board of thePi'esbytory on tho 16th of May. He says : " During tho Hrst part of the winter and all last summer we had a service every Sabbath at Stellartou and Vale Colliery. During tlie latter jiart of tho winter and this spring tho order was changed by the advice of the Committee, and meetings held fortnightly at each place. We have in connec- tion witli tho 8abl)ath services, short exercises in reading the Word of God and singing to his praise. All tho meeting's are well attended, the people hsten with deep attention, and more than once I havo seen all visilily moved. We have a Sabbath-school whicli is doing a good work ; and I havo started our English elass which is froo to all, and which I trust will prove useful. Since I sent in my last Report Isold your dozen Bibles, and gave dv soverp' Testaments; and I can safely assert that a Bilile can now be found in nearly every fanii' ^ l ''ook sealed to all for so long a time may now be freely read l>y all those who wish to do so, ar4 : 'Os ■ o read it, speedily see why the priests are so anxious to keep it from them. I havo dist l-uted ■) numbers of tracts, and disposed of four do/en of Father Chiniciuy's work on " Tl tVomi, lie Pnost and tho Confes- sional." These Were ea^K'rly imrclmsed and read with '..■ f(>>,..d interest. Tho rjsult is tliiit controversies are daily taking place between those who ' , ;oii i Protestantism and those who have continued Romanists. lu these discussions the champion ^' dome, wIki are now here only a few, lose their temper for want of argument, and ai'e quici.ly si; . iced and defeated by the folkwers of the Bible. During the winter Father Chini(piy gave us a short >\t ' did us a great deal of good. As ♦he result of his visit over thirty names were added to tho \) ) had already abjured Romanism. We have met so far with little opi)osition from outside. This can bo easily understood as I'ictou County is a stroiinhold of Protestantism. Hud we lived in tho Provinco of Quebec, perhaps wo might havo fared otherwise. The only case of persecution I know of is that of a father forbidding his daughter who has became a Protestant ever entering her home. Mr. Pelletier does not venture to say, definitely, how many of these people havo enjoyed the saving' power of divine txrace, but a (,'rutifying number give evidence of being the children of God. The SiiVibath is bet,'inuiiiK to be properly observed among them ; they show a devout regard for tho authority of (u)d's Word, and ciuiinu'udablo liberality in contributing according to their mi^ans for tho support of ordinances. It is proper to add that Mr. Pelletier is one of the young men who came from the Mission at St. Ann, Kankakee, was trained at tho Presbyterian College, Montreal, and ordained by the I'lesbyteiy of rietou, on the IGth of May last. The Board feel tliat had th(!y nothing further to report than this brief account of one fu-ld, it furnislies abundant K'rouiid for gratitude to God, and of encouragement to prosecute their labours; but very much more of a similur nature remains to be told respecting other places. II. VIOLET BBOOK AND VICINITY, NEW BBCN8WI0K. This field, which is on the border of New Brunswick and thi' State of Maine, was occupied last summer by Mr. A. F. Rivard, student. He reports Hfteen heads of famihes having abamloned the Romish communion, and fifty families who received copies of tho Word of God in whole or in part, while many others were visited and instructed, and a wide-spread desu'e kindled among old and young to enjoy the benefits of a Christian education. In proof of this last statement it may be mentioned that seven young persons accompanied Mr. Rivard in October to the schools at Pointe-aux- Trembles. Two of these were detained at Quebec under circumstances to which reference will bo made hereafter. During the present summer, Mr. Bruneau, student, conducts a school and other Missionary work in this field, which appears to be one of special promise. III. OBAND FALLS, NEW BRUNSWICK. We have at this place a commodious church, free of debt, and a regulai-ly organfeed congrega- tion with the Rev. R. Paradis, as pastor. Mr. Paradis is also from the Mission at St. Anne, and was educated for the Ministry in the College at Montreal. He holds services regularly in French and EngUsh. Mr. Paradis siiys, " A year ago there was not a single communicant in connection ^vith our church and very few adherents. Deep ignorance about tho Word of Gotl prevailed, much profane language was useil, many children not baptized, and a verj- great deal of indifference 174 APPENDIX. •( iiuiniit'st'd.

These Btations nro in the very heartfif a pojiittli country, near the uionth f)f tlie river Snunenny, and wire occujiied hiHt BUiuruer by Mr. Theodore Uouchard, Htudciit, wlio tuu^!llt a Mission gchool during the week, and conducteil a service every Knbbath morning, and a Bible clasg Sabbath evening. The school was opened witli sixteen ))upilB, but foiu- were removed through the iutluiuce ot the Priest. The subjects taught werii reading, using the New Testunitnt for a te.\t book, lieuniiinship, geograpliy, arithmetic, shorter catechism, and the liibb'. Mr. Bouchard rejiorts forty-five Ihotestants at rort-au-l'crcilaiul ii smaller number at Riviero- aux-t'anards. The stations are twenty-one miles apart, so that services were held at ('ach cnly on alternate Sabbaths. Home of these i)eo])le are tlu^ descendants nf Protcstiints who settled long ago in this district, and were utterly neglected, with the exception of occusioniil visits from ('oli)orteurH, until your board ojiened a Mission school among them. Tlu'y nil gratefully appre<'iut(! the services which tliey receive, and six i)er>onsex|ireH8 a strong desire to eiijuy the Lord's Suiijier; but tlie board has done nothing towards organizing a congregation as tin le is neither church nor school- huuso in the place. Your Missioniuy speaks with mucli hope nf the decided growth of liberal hentinients among the peo)>le, and instances the region of Bay St. Paul, where two years ago he wiis ib'iven out of liouses, dogs set ujion him, and his life endangered ; but where last summer our C(iIporteur, Mr. Ciivriere, was treated with ti leration and respect. He mentions the case of an aged man who had a New TeBtiinu^nt for several years, and although he wn^ unable to reiul was in the habit of getting his children ami others to read it for liini, so that he hud committed nnuli of it to memory. On his death-bed his friends pressed him to receive vi>its from the Priest; but ho dechned, and coutmued to cleave to the Gospel. V. POINT LEVIS AND QUEHKC. The Board has learned with great satisfaction that a ven- decided movement has recently taken place at Point Levis. No less tlian forty persons have jiublished their abjuration of Romanism ; and n spirit of iiKpiiry and freedom, eond>ined with a strong dc-ire for the truth seems abroad among the )ieo]ih). This movement, altliougli not under tlu' supervision of the Board, is promoted financially and otherwise by members of our Church at Quebec and elst where. In the city of Quebec considerable progress is being made, and the ]iros))ect is brighter than cv{ r in the )mst. A French Chun h is being erected, the funds being cliietly contributed by our people, but the work is not under the direction of either the Pres1iyt(ry or the Board. ]{ut it in obviously desirable that it should lie scp, seeing it is almost ixdusively su^-tained by Ihesbyterians so far as local RUii]iort is concerned, and sinc(t it is of the utmost imjiortanee that such an influ- ential centre as t^iU'bec should be ojien for s]iecial services by Mr. Cliiniipiy, as well as occu]iied by one of our ablest and most devoted Missionaries who should receive the symiiathy, su})ervision and support which the General Assend)ly can alTord. It is j)roper to mention in this connection that the Quebec Auxiliary Bible Society employed Mr. liruneau, student, to colport in its tield last summer. They repoit favourably of his success, and have engaged Mr. W. Savarie, .student, for the same field this summer. VI. ST. CIinVSOSTOM, Ql'B. Mr. Joseiih Moiin, student, acted as Missionary Teaclu'r in tliis village and neighbourhood last summer, and leports that he conducted a school in the house of one of the converts with an attendance of ten i)U)iils, and held Sabbath day services with an attendance of thirty j)ersons. We have already at this station eight French Protestant families, and six others who are well disposed towards our cause. Mr. Morin sold six New Testaments to Roman Catholics, and visited many families, distributing tracts and conversing with them regarding the way of salvation. The village is in the centre of a large French po))ulation ; and in order to sustain and extend om' work hero we should erect a schmd house for the pur])oses of the mission without delay. One of our converts offers as his contribution a piece of laud for a site, and others are willing to aid according to their abihty. TII. ST. PACL DB CHEBTEB, QUE. This section is worthy of special notice, and must always possess peculiar interest in the history of the Church on account of the bitter persecution which our missionary and converts have ahready endured for the sake of the truth. The summer before last Mr. Monsseau, student, was sent to this district. He followed the usual method, distributing the Word of (irod and teaching the people from house to house. So deeply were they impressed by the truth that they petitioned to have Mr. Monsseau return to them last summer. He did so, accompanied by Mr. Philip Blouin, Missionary teacher. A Mission School was establisliei in the house of Mr. La Prise, one of the converts, and religious services conducted every Sabbath. One of the people offers a ftift of a large lot on which to build a school-house and chapel. The people also agree to give a considerable amount of labour in erecting the chapel ; and friends at Danville have very ^ener- APPENDIX. 175 i)iti7.e(\ ono uil teach a • Sn^ucnny, 4Hiou Bcboul iNB Balibath ae iulluiuco text Look, r nt Rivitrc- iicli < 'Illy "" k(l lonn iiKO ColliiirtturH, till' hi'ivicrH iir; Vmt tho 1K)V hchool- tli of libtriil •fills iigo bii siiuiiuf r our Bl' of nil UtJl'll (I \vii8 ill tbi' unuli of it to iust ; but be •corntly tnken f Ronmiiisni; iibvoniliniionn , is juoiuotL'd bvit^btrr thnn ■ibutrd by our 1.

' i s: XI. OTTAWA. The rreili\iery of,Ottawa furnishns the following information regarding the work in that city: "A petition from the French I'rotestants of Ottawa praying to be organized into a con - gregntion, under the care of tho I'resbyti'ry, was presented and the prayer granted on the Drd February, 1875. At that time Hfty-eight peiNouw, including parents and uliililren, composed the congiegation. Now there are 12U names iuNcribed on tho Congregational lloll. The first com- munion was held on the )2th February, 1H75, when fourteen persona were adniittud to the membership of tho Church. Now there are twenty-nine upon the Communion llo". A Hible- class and Kubbath-Hchtiid havo been conducted with encouraging reHulti. Tlio people contributed for congregational purposes $4<).(l(.>.

I>uring these weeks many imiuirers have come to my house for instruction, and I am hopeful that these will bring many more, and that by the grace of tiod, i.'e may be enabled to attach them all to the cause of truth and to our church." , Mr. Ami's congregation meets in a rented hall, and a Church in the centre of the French population is very much needed in order to still greater succesn in the Mission. Tho IJoard entertains the hope that generous friends at Ottawa may take steps at un eurly date to supply this pressing want. XII. srrFotK. This is one of the new townships recently opened for settlement to the north of tho Ottawa Biior. Twelve French I'rotestont families from St. .John's Chiuch, Montreal, liaving received irom (tovernmtnt grants of land in this place, the Hoard appointed Mr. (i. Mousseau, to accom- pany them as Missionary. He has brought with him on outfit of liiblos, Testaments and Tracts, and is instructed to conduct a school, colport and hold religious services on Sabbaths. It i^' believed that he will have access to some thirty other French families who are but shglitlv, if at all, attached to the Church of Borne in the same district. The Board feel it very necessary thus to follow their converts to their new settlement, and, if possible, to erect among them even a Miasion House or Chapel. XIII. 8AIMT ANKB MISSION, EAKKAKEK CO., ILUWOIB. Beport of the Presbytery of Chatham for the year ending 1b. June, 1B76. The St. Anne Mission is now direotly under the care of th^> Presbytery of Chatham, within whose bounds it is. A deputation of the I'resbytery, consisting of Messrs. Bannie and AVarden, visited the Mission in July last and succeeded in putting it on a more satisfactory footing than formerly. The following is a brief report of the Mission for the past year:— . . _ APPENDIX. m )'•. A Hible- e couti'ibiiti'il TBI COMomCOATION. Sinee tlie removal of tho Rov. T*.

ItcHideH the ordinary elemen- tary brancliCH, particular attention is given to the moral and reli(,'inu» training of tho imiiil". The Word of (tod is daily read, and the WeHtiiiinster Assombly'H Shorter (!atocliiHm is repularly taught, botli in Freiicli and Knglish, iu all the elaBses o( the Senior Pepnrtniont. The touchers appear to bo nnmt ellicient, and to wt.rk to^'other nioHt harmonioUMly ; and the testimony of tho deputation from liie I'resliytery was to the elTect that the School will comi)aro most favourably with the best of our I'ulilic Schools in Ontario, tho aj)tnesn of tho pupils, tho thoroUK'linesg of tho teaching.', and the order maintained being 'li^rlily commoiubiblo. The school is very pojiular in the dintrict, ho po])ular that the Houiish priest found tiit^ tlircat of exconiniunication insulVieient to prevent Itoman Catholic families sending,' tlieir cliildron there, and felt it to be necessary to make almont weekly \isits to the homos of gome of tlio familicH, to dissuade them seiidiu).' their children. It was in this school that many of tho French Missionaries and Students of tho Church received their preparatory training'. It has manifestly done K'ood K<'rvice in the past. To its iiitlucnee, is due, under rominence, jiorhaps, being given to the singing of hymns. Ilajipily, it ia unlike many Sabbath Schools in regard to tho interest manifested by the parents, these attend- ing the services of the seliool at Ste. Anne in considerable numbers every Sabbath. A good library is connected with the school, tho books bein;? regularly distributed, and, it believed, geuo- rally rea, as an average specimen for the j'oar: — " The Sabbath School was opened as usual with the singing of hymns, followed by prayer by the superintendent. We had some more singing after prayer, and then the classes l>egan their les- BOUR in Hcrii)turc, All the teachers present except one.

The property held by tho CongroRation consists of about ten acres of land in the village of St. Ani« ', on which is erected a lar^o frame building, three or four years old. The ground flat is divin,!^ by folding doors into three compartments, and is used for the day school. Each compart- ment iA well famished with modem desks and seats, maps, blackboards, etc. The upper flat is th e" Church," which is comfortably seated for about 850 persons. For Miany years past a succession of law suits has been instituted by the Itoman Catholio Bishop of Chicago against Bev. C. Chiniqny to obtain poasession of the property. With the sanc- tion of the General Assembly of the late Canada Presbyterian Church, the rresbyte>;.' of Chatham is at present defending a suit. The Presbytery's deputation incinired mini.teh into ihe nature of the suit and the propriety of continuing it, and after consultation with a leading Coaiixel in Chicago, resolved at present to continue to defend the suit. To enter into details wouiu far exceed the limit of a report such as this. It will suffice here to ?;t tte that by the a 'vieii of counsel the deed of the property has been transferred from Mr. Ciunicj ly and other trrii'te^^,, tO' , , » 'I" If' ' a ■/•H - 1 M 178 APPENDIX. the Cleik of the Presbytery of Chathnra, who becomes the defender in the law suit. Since this 'n-ns (lone (in September last) no further steps have been taken by the Komau CathoUo Bishop to prosecute the suit, and this notwithstanding that by the decision of the Supreme Court he had gained a seeming advantage about that time. CONTEMrLATED TNION. The Presbyterian Church of the United States has a crngregation at Ste. Anne, with about CO families and about 150 communicants, and a small church i^roperty. At - !"*- -"setiug of the Presbytery of Chatliam there was laid on the table a basis of union l.^lneen this congregation and our own, which had been adopted bj both, together with a joint resolution of the two congrega- tions agreeing to leave the details as tr union and the future ecclesiastical connexion of the con- gregation, to their respective Presbyteries. A committee has been appointed by the Presbytery of Chicago as also by the Presbytery of Chatham to endeavour to carry out the proposed Union, and arrangements are at present being made for a joint meeting of the two Committees. Should the union be accomplished the people will be able, without outside a sistance, to support a repulnily ordained Pastor, and help somewhat in defraying the expense of the school. It would facilitate matters, were the General Assembly to give power to the Chatham Presbytery, to trnuRfer, if the united congregation so resolve, the .St. Anne Mission to the Chicago Presbytery of the I'rosbyterian Church of the United States. KANKAKEE CHURCH. For some years there ha.^ been a French Canadian Congregation in the town of Kankakee, (the capital of the county) about 14 miles distant from St. Anne— under the care of the American Church — which for poiiie months past has been relinquished by the Chicago Presbytery. The con- gregation are onxious to be taken charge of by our Church, and are prepared to meet the full ■ expenses of a settled Pastor with the exception of about $400 per annum. FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

For the •present season four colporteurs are cmployei?, viz: — Messrs. A (iuertin, A. Blouin, C. Cruchet and W. Mullen. The details of their labours are not appropriate for a general rejiort of this nature, ■and it may be sufficient to state that in common with those engaged in other departments of the Mission, they have of late met with most gratifying success. They are stationed at Crysler, Scotch Biver, and Foumierville, Ontario ; and the counties of Arthabaska, Beauhamois, and Huntingdon, Quebec. From their reports for vhe month of May it appears that 480 famihes have been visited, 47 copies of the Word of God distributed and sold among them, together with many tracts, and that meetings were held and classes taught every : Sabbath, and in many instances on several nights of the week. Assuming this to be an average month's work before the first of October, these four young men will have visited at least 2,400 families, and disseminated 240 copies of the Bible, besides tracts and catechisms. When accom- panied by the believing prayers of the Church, it is impossible to estimate the influence for good APPENDIX. 179 Court he had which this humble form of miseiotiary services is fitted to oxert. No agency is so powerful aa the Word of God in destroying the superstitions and the tyranny of Rome. XV. MONTllEAL. We come to Montreal last in this brief review, because here our trials and our triumphs cul- minated. As hinted at the outset, difficulties seemed insuperable. But the Lord speedily came to our help, and " a great door and effectual was opened unto us ; and there were many adver- saries." In spite of the efforts and denunciations of haughty and jiealous Ecclesiastics, multitudes thronged to listen to the discourses and polemical discussions of our venerable and honoured missionary, Mr. Chiuiquy. The success which followed his plain and zealous declaration of the truth jnay bo seen from the large number of persons, who at their own retiuest, had their names published in the ^lontreal Dailv ll'ituess as having abjured Homainsni. The dates and numbers were as follows :— June 29tli, '1875, 50 persons ; Oct. 1st, 52 ; Nov. 20th, 100 ; Dec. 31st, 294 ; Jan. 21st, 1876, 450 ; Jan. SOth, 500 ; Keb. 17th, 400 ; Mar. 28th, 25 ; May 0th, 100 ; making a total of 2043 ; or, including the infants and little children of these persons, a total of far more than two thousand souls. And to give a complete estimate of those who have abandoned Eomauism, in connection with the labours of Mr. Chini(iuy during the year, there should be added, 30 at Stellarton, Nova Scotia ; 50 at Holyoke, Mas. ; 100 at Putnam, Con. ; and 40 at Oxford, Con.; making a total of 2203. The places just named were visited by Mr. Chiniquy during the vacation granted him by the Board. This estiniute is still exclut-ive of many whose names are not in possession of the Board, but who were influenced to seek the truth by reading Mr. Chiniquy's publications or reports of the sermons and addresses. To jirovide for the proper religious instruction and pastoral care of so many people just em- erging from ignorant and gross superstition was a most serious undertaking. Churches had to be secured in which to congregate them. For this purpose Kussell Hall, which is admirably situated with respect to the French population, was jiurchased for twenty thousand dollars. But the number of converts soon became greater than could be gathered in this jilace. A second ser- vice was therefore opened on Sabbath afternoons in St. Joseph Street Church, kindly given, with- out exiH'.ise, by Mr. Scrimger and his people. But this could only be a temporary arrangement ; and the board finding; from vhe reports of its missionaries that about eighty families of converts reside in this neighbourhood amid a l.irge French population, resolved to build an inexpensive church to seat six hinidred persons. An eligible site lias been purchased, and it is exjiected that the work will bo completed about the end of August. We shall then have two French Churches in the city with Sabbath Schools and Day Schools attached. Messrs. Aniarou, Cruchet, and Morin are engaged during the summer to assist Mr. Chiuicpiy. They will preach as necessary. conduct the Sabbath Schools and prayer meetings, and visit daily from hou^e to house. And it is hoped that a large share of the services of Rev. C. A. Doudiet may be secured in connection with Russell Hall ; for it must be remembered that under present circumstances the people reciuhe far more than ordiuaiy pastoral care and instruction, They are constantly persecuted by priests and Romanists, and in many instances interfered with by Protestants who have done nothing to bring then\ out of darkness, but are eager to gather them into their own folds. They have nearly everything to learn, and very much to endure in be- coming followers of the gospel. Hence the unusual amount of instruction and care which they reijuire, and the very great caution which is to be exercised in admitting them to the membership of the church. Over one hundred were recently received into communion, and it would have been easy to have added two or three hundred more ; but the purity of the church must be maintained, and reasonable evidence of a saving knowledge of Christ and intelligent apprehension of the nature of Christian fellowship must be insisted upon in the case of all who are enrolled. Besides, it may be assumed that in a movement so extensive a considerable number of im- postors will jiresent themselves ; and the Assembly will not be surprised to learn that over two hundred persons of this sort were detected and dealt with. But making allowance for these, it is ii remarkable fact, that the oriests with all their vigilance and i>eculiar means of securing recan- tations have not been able to strike off a single name from the list of those that we have retained. That all tliese, however, are to be retained in the city, or gathered into our churches is more than we venture to assert ; but we feel confident that tliey are all brought over to the ranks of Protestantism, and should uome of them be scattered abroad, many more will speedily take their places, and their dispersion by persecution and otherwise may, as was the case in the early histoi-y of the Church, greatly contribute to the diffusion of the truth. CARE OF THE FOOB. As the destitution among the Protestant poor became dominant about the middle of the winter, several of the more energetic of the converts in conjunction with the Old Protestants belonging to the various churches, established the French Protestant Benevolent Society, which carried on its operations under strict supervision, and has rendered an exact account of all its receipts and expenditures. Its funds were derived from various quarters, but in the main, from Presbyterian gonrccs. These were expended with great economy, so that for about two thousand dollars, the total receipts of the Society, out of which two visitors, t>. steward and a clerk were paid, together with the rent of a house, more than two thousand persons were relieved twice a 180 APPENDIX. 111 ': «>!■ week during the n mainder of the recent severe winter. Meat was purchased at five cents a pound, and other provisions at correspondingly low rates, while contributions from the Protestant House of Industry and Out-door Belief Committee and other sources tended to lighten the expense. The luT'je number of employees in the pay of the Society was rendered absoluteiy neoessary by the oirouuistances of the case, it being important for obvious reasons, that every application for aid should be subjected to closest scrutiny, and the character of all applicant's thoroughly investigated. By these means an invaluable service was rendered to the rising cause of French Protestantism, which otherwise stood in danger of becoming a veritable cave of Adullam, and of thus losing character with all right minded people. Contributions of clothing came from many of our congregations, and with these the young and old were protected against the extreme cold, and enabled to make a respectable appearance in Churcli. Several distinguished medical men of the city gave their professional services gratutiously, and many visitors from among the ladies of the Presbyterian Church helped to alleviate the sufiering and distress that prevailed. It was absolutely necessary to relieve Mr. Chiniquy and other MisBionaries of the work of serving tables, and this work the Society has, on the whole, successfully accomplished. There have been defects in its personel and administration, but these have not affected its efficiency to anj' aprreciable extent, nor have tliey, in the slightest, injured the integrity of the work. TLo Ladies French Evangelization Society now p>..-poses to extend its benevolent exertions, so ns to overtake as inlly as possible, the care of the poor. They have engaged a house, SOs Lagnuchetiere St., which is to be known as the French Presbyterian Mission Hoiiso. A suitalilo matron and a guardian are about to be engaged, who, together with a Hiblo woman, wilt live on the premises and receive all applications for aid, and in cases of poverty and sickness furni>;h nil information. They will also keep a Register of persons in need of employment, and recomnunul the employment on the premises where practicable, of deserving applicants. It is hoped that u circulating Library of instructive and religious tracts and book<5 may be established in connection with the mission. The Society looks for liberal aid throughout the Church, in the form of money and articles of clothing, when its nppe.al is issued in September. PEESECCTIONB. These have been numerous and bitter, directed alike against converts, missionaries and the dhectors of the work. On the '.Hh of October last, Mr. A. F. Rivard, student, arrived from New Brunswick at Point Levis, with seven uhildien on their way to the Mission Schools at I'oint-aux-Treiubles. lie left them in the Raihvaj- Station while he crossed the river to (Quebec on business. On his return he found them greatly alarmed by false representations made to them by Romanists. A mob of about one hinulred speedily assembled, took possession of two of the children, threatened Mr. Rivard with violence, tore his coat, heaped abusive epithets upon him, and tried to get him out of the car into which he and five of the children had with difliculty escaped. He was sulijccted to this Sort of treatment for more than an hour, and appealed in vain for protection to two |iolice- men. Some of the roughs came on the train with him all th.' way to Richmond, opt nly expri s- siug their desire to throw him through a high l)ridge on the railway. The two children who were detained, I'aul Midland and his sister, were promptly sent to popish schools at Qnel)ee, and are there still. Mr. Rivard made two journeys to Queliec to rescue them. Their motlier forwarded an aflidavit declaring that they had been placed under his care, and the matter was brought before two JudKos with the issue just stated. Messrs. Mousseau and Blouin, two other student missionaries, about the same time, on their way with fourteen children of recent converts from St. I'aul do Chester, were insulted and abused at Three Rivers, and on tho steamer between there and .Montreal. The priest of the place bu^-ied himsell' in the matter, and efforts were made to intimidate the missionaries and retain the pupils. The Rev. James AlcCaid, Presbyterian Minister at Three Rivers Wing apprised by telegraph tlmt danger was anlicipatecl promptly interposed, and by his i)reBence dispersed tho followers of the priest, and thus prevented a repetition of the scene at Quebec. When such scenes can transpire on our pubhc highways, and are promoted by the clergy of the established religion, we may well ask do wo enjoy British freedom and protection in the Province of 'Juebec, or are we practically in the hands of the Pope? But more disgraceful events still remain to l)e told. On the night of October 28th, the house of Regis Laprise, St. Paul de ('hester, was sur- rounded by a mob from eleven to one o'clock. The night was unusually dark. .Mr. Laprise was roused from bed by shouts of execration against himself and his family, and attempts to force in the door. Failing in this, the mob sent showers of stones through the windows and fired gun shots. This continued nearly two horns. In the morning the terror stricken family took refuge with another of our converts, and hr,s since removed to Danville. A bucket full of stones gathered in the house wn" afterwards [troducetl iu Court, and one stone weighing two pounds found in the craaie by the head of an infant a few months old. Mr. Laprise had warrants tiiktn out and a cumber of arrests were made ; .ind four persons shown to have been implicated in the matter were bound iu one thousand dollars each, to appear for trial iu February.

The trial has been postponed ; but the Protestant Defence Alliance has taken the case in hand, and will push it to a proper issue. It is scarcely necessary to add that the reason for this assault upon Mr. Laprise and his family, was the fact of his having become a Protestant, and giving a room in his house for the purposes of our Mission. In September last on his arrival at Ha Ha Bay, Mr. Chiniquy was openly insulted and struck on the deck of the steamer He simply remonstrated and asked his fellow countrjTueu to join with him in prayer for his assailant. Before the close of the prayer, they were so touched and melted, that the listened to him with patience, speaking of the love of God and the Saviour. ()u his return to Quebec a plot was laid to force him over the wharf into the river, and thus end his career. His friends becoming aware of it, had him safely on board of the steamer two hours before his assailants, or would-be-assassins, assembled, and thus he escaped from their hands. During his visit to Halifax last winter, while preaching for the Rev. Dr. Bm-ns, the Fort Massey t'hurch was surrounded by a mob and windows sma.shed with stones. At the close of the service Mr. Chiniciuy and his friends were openly pursued in the streets, and obliged to take refuge in a house for a time. On venturing out again he was followed and jeered along tl.' ^ streets, and violence resorted to as he entered the hotel. Happily he escaped uninjured. The friends of order and freedom took prompt action in the matter, and two of the persons implicated were fined before the Police Court, and four sent up for trial before the higher court. The trial of one of these, which lasted four days, has recently came off. The jury, which was composed of nine Roman CathoUcs and three Protestants, failed to agree, and thus he was released. Reference has already been made to the stoning of Mr. Chuiiquy at Ottawa. On the ath instant he was arrested in his house at Montreal on a writ of capias. The two Rcjman Catholic baiUffs found him (luite composed and ready to go with them. He informed them that as this was the thirty-fourth time of his arrest he had become quite used to it. Regretting the early hour at whieli they had reijuired to i)erform their important business, lie invited them to break- fast. AftiT breakfast Mr. Cliiuiquy informed his guests tlmt it was his custom to begin the day's work with reading the Scriptures and prayer, and leijuested to be allowed to perform family worship as usual. Consent was given. The chapter which came in course in the morning's reading was Acts vii., which recouirts the stoning of Stephen. Each one was given a Bible, the bailiffs were not neglected, and the chapter was rend verse by verse. Mr. Chiniquy then ex- plained the ehajiter, showing how the world had not changed from the days of the enrly I hristian Church, ile himself, for examjile, was subject to arrest, and only last week he hadlieen stoned. The whole party then kr"lt in prayer, in which the French-Caniuliniis w<>re especinlly nmembered. After enjoying this jieeulinr (ipjiortunity of missionary service he nccoiupauied the liidliffs to the ollice of the Attorney for the jirosecution, where a hundred friends wnuld have gladly given the bail rcquu'ed from our venerable and heroic father, that he ■".ill appear in duo time to stand his trial. It may be mentioned that persecution m the form of vexatious and unjust litigation has been directed f't!1.t)H ; received by A. B. Stewart, Montreal, $17.5(11.36. and by friends at Ottawa for sjiecial expenses, ftl03. The total balance in hand at date both at Hali- fax and Montreal is ?3,4;-t().36. It is proper to state that more than this balance will be retjuired to meet current expenses In-fore the contributions of next year are received. Besides, there have been no payments made as yet on Russell Hall, and the cliurch being erected in the west end of >[outreal; and at least four Mission Houses should be built without delay in places already indi- cated. No contributions have been received during the year from Britain, and but a trifling amount from the United .States. But the Board has great pleasure in re)iorting that the Ccdonial Com- mittee of the Church of Scotland has granted two hundred pomids, and it is believed that the Free Church of Scotland and the I're.sbyterian Church of Ireland will make similar grants. The Board desires to express gratitude to God for having put it into the hearts of the Minis- ters and people of the Church to contribute so liberally in support of this great Missionary and uatioual work. The total income has been more than double that of any previous year. Taking into account uimtributions for the relief of the poor and persecuted, it has amounted to nearly twenty-two thA any settled minister. The work which I have hiid to do, as Secretary of the Board of French Evangclizati'm, hag been varied indeed— preaching in our Mission stations — administering thf Sacraments to our converts and English-speaking Christians scattered and isolated among the Koman Catholics of the Province of Quebec — sometimes acting the part of a detective in helping to bring to justice certain persons, who, by means of persecutions were trying to force our converts to leave the country — at other times visiting some of our English Congregations to solicit means to carry on the work of the Board. The visiting of our Mission stations is a most important work, as mo&t of our Missionaries, being students, are not in a position to dispe.ise the .Sacraments ; and, ii' .lany parts of the Province of Quebec, there are Eugli htipeaking families who are i) > surrouuili'd with iioniau Catholics that they are without t)ie o.dinances of the Sanc'.iary. On the '2()th of September last, at one of our stations, I prea,->hf'd in Fim.'^Ii and in English and dispensed the sacram'-ut of the Lord's Supper to some thirty < 'onununi .an..i, who had come from near and far, of Scotch, English, Irish, Swiss, and French (.rigin. It was a very happy reunion, the Lord was with us indeed, we were of dififreut i>at!' lalities, spoke diU'erent languages, but we all s.-tt together aroun^l the table of our commo;; i,(>i. months had elapsed since the last visit of an ordain^ I missionary, v>. expressed their thankfulness to (iod that once more m His provi V-iio-.i to worship in the simplicity of the (Jospel, and to comm*' .o .te thu conunou Saviour in the very way in which He Himself had ajpointed.

One of our French Students spent the summer in the field aud was the means in (iod's hands of doing much good. At another of our Mission stations where I had been sent (St. Paul de Chester) by the Board to see about the assault upon the house of Mr. Laprise, one of our converts whose house was so damaged that he had to leive it. On a certain night a large crowd of people assembled around his house, insulted him for having become a Protestant, called him all sorts of names ; said they would kill him, atid there and then tired several gunshots in the house through the wiudown, aud then so many stones at the house that under oath it was stated even by the enemies of this convert, that a horse could not take away in one load all the stoneu that had been thrown at the house. At the emjiiiry several of these stonfs were produced, one of which, weighing over two jiounds, had i)eeii found in the cradle where an infant bad been sleeping that night ; and when, on the evidence givim some of the perpetrators of this outrage were asked to give bail, that they would ajipear at tiie Court of (jhieen's Bench, Ii' answer the charge made against them, t'-.cy were astonished beyond measure ; (me of them said, " But the man whose house has been ■* .me, and I am convinced that you have the religion of the Gospel ; but what about my images, must I part with them ?

My priest, Mons. Latleche, gave it to me, and he said that by kneeling before it and saying my prayers to ' La bonne Ste. Anne' my toothache would be cured, and it does really cure me." I tried to show her that a piece of paper with a likeness that probably did not at all resemble "La bonne Ste. Anno " could do no good ; that art of our Lord's vineyard, such efforts as sh and piety of our people. All of which is respectfully submitted. has unanimously decided unds fur this most important .ted by our Church may \>\\t 1 be expected from the wealth CHARLES TANNER, O'riural S(cr,i BEPOET OF THE LUMBER MISSION COMMITTEE. For seven years immediately prior to union, the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland prosecuted a Mission to the lumbermen in the Valley of the Ottawa. In presenting this, their first Report, to the united Churches, the Committee entrusted with the management of the Misaion record their deep gratitude to God for the consummation of union, and for the beneficial effects it has bad, and is likely to have, upon the Mission to the lumbermen. Jlv'. t :> .■■ Ei- M ■ I;" VT. ".; . 184 APPENDIX. The object of the Mission is to b'.ing the power of the Gospel to bear upon the large num- ber of men engaged m the shanties during the winter, when they are cut off from Church ordinances. It is the endeavour o the Mission to accomplish this object by a twofold agency : (1.) By the preaching of the Word by ministers who may devote a certain portion of the winter to the work of visiting the .hanties for this purpose ; and (2.) By the distribution of large quantities of English and Freich tracts, illustrated papers in both languages, such as Bvitkh Workman, Cottaijer and At titan, U mirier t'rancais, and other appropriate literature, these papers and periodicals being distributed not merely by the ministers who may visit the shanties, but also by the employers and others, who kindly co-operate in the circulation of such literature. The hope of the Committee, the goal towards which they are working, is that at some future day the Gospel may be preached at least once in the winter, and imjjroving literature be circulated in every shanty in the lumbering regions. Though they are still very far from the realization of this aim, yet each year seems to open out new prospects of its fulfilment, and one of the most encouraging features of the work is that not only the employers but the men them- selves regard the Mission with growing interest, hail wi'jh Great satisfaction the visit of the Missionary, and receive and read with delight the literature distributed among them. During the past winter only two ministers have been able to engage in the work of visiting the shanties, viz., llev. Joseph Gandier, of Port Coulonge, and Rev. M. TurnbuU of Mattawau. The following extracts from Mr. Gaudier's rex)ort will shew the nature and extent of the work done by him : — "Your Missionary spent ten weeks in the work, travelled 1,400 miles, visited 50 shanties, 19 farms and depots, an(i 15 stopping places, also six families of settlers scattered in the forest, and found in these places 1,730 persons. "The funds of the Mission have been supported by the shantymen to the amount of .is70.50. At least double this sum would have been given, if the men bad the same wages, and if the shanties had the same number of Protestants, as they had last year. "Ou the Petewawa, I visited the shanties of Messrs. Walker, Landon, and Dunlop & Ellice ; on the Black River, the shanties and depots of Messrs. McLean, Murta^'h, Allan, Eraser, McCashen, Hamilton, Aumond, Rochester, Cockburn, Booth, Caldwell, and one of Mr. Tiernan's ; on the Coulouge and Pickanock, the shanties and depots of Messrs. Perley k Pattee, Capt. Youn^, Gilmour, and some of these of Gillies Bros. ; on the Madawaska and Bonchere, some of the shanties and depots of Messrs. Francis, Batson & Currier, Hartney & Co., Thomp- ■'■'■u, Booth, McLaughlin, Conroy, Mayhew, and HoUoway ; and on the Ottawa, the shanties of Mersrs. Bryson, Booth, and Doran & Bannerman. "In nearly all these places I was greatly encouraged by the respect and kindness shewn, !>y the strict attention during the time occupied by me in religious services, and by the eager- ri'jss to get the new literature. Several •' ^nch Roman Catholics asked me for tracts ; with many T had very pleasing spiritual convyrb-tion ; indeed, I felt my own soul much refreshed by communion with some. " I feel more and more convinced that, while this Mission is one of the most needful, it is also one of the most useful." Mr. Turubull reports : — " I am glad to be able to report a tolerably successful winter's work. Various circumstances f.icilitatod my work, such as better ac(]^uaintauce with the field, better lake travel than I had had in former years, and readier access to the various shanties. " I visited 47 shanties, 13 farms and depots, 8 stoppiuj^ places, and addressed 1,330 men, travelling I v X) miles. "I am happy to be able to acknowledge on the part of the lumbermen, Protestant and Roman Catholic alike, a desire that I should visit their shanties, while, on the part of the men, I have pleasure in reporting the same kindly reception which I have mot with in former years, and this not only as regards myself personally, but my message as well. Everywhere I have been hea'd with respectful attention ; in not a few cmcs with more than that. When I have marked, &s I often did, the eager bearing and the glistening eye as I told the story of the •Cross, I felt that the Lord was with His Word, and though, it may be, lacking then and there the 'confirming with signs following' which accompanied it of old, I neverthelesB felt assured that it would not return to Him void ; and cherished, as I cherish still, the hopu that of more than one shanty it may be said, as of Zion, 'this man and that man was Ijoru tliore.' " In addition to the services thus rendered in the interests of the Mission by Kev. Msssrs. Gandier and Turnbull, Mr. Day, one of the Colporteurs of the Ottawa Auxiliary Bible .Society, in visiting many shanties in connection with the work of the Bible Society, distributed large (juautities of literature supplied by the Lumber Mission Committee.

Those who are interested in tlie wonders of tlie natural world eagerly dliscrve the growth of the plants, and flowers, and fruits, with whicli God beautifies and cnricluH tlie earth. They say, "Let us get up early to the vineyards ; let us see if the vine flourish, whetliiT the tender grape appear and the poniegranates Imd forth." Those who are interested in tlie greater wimders of the spiritual world eagerly wateh the growth of those " plants of righteousness " wliieh God causes to spring up, and to bring forth fruit to the praise and glory of His graee. Hy all such it will be regarded as a token for God that the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in ("iuiada, should have apiwinted a committee, with special instructions to note and to report upon such indications of growth or decay in the Church as may call, on tlie one hand, for lieartfelt thanksgiving to God, or, on the other, for lowly confession oi sin and self-abasement in His presence. In prosecuting the work assigned them, and in examining the many documents placed in their hands, your committee were ever and anon cheered by the occurrence of niinies or words, or casual expressions, reminding them that the Presbyterians of the Dominion are now a nnitecl body ; and leading them to cherish the hope that, with regrnl to that iininn, tlicy might with- out irreverence, say, " AVhat God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. These words, they feel warranted in converting into a prayer, and saying, as they look up to Him from whom alone the blessing can come, "Amen ; ,So let it be." About the beginning of the year, your committee sent to all the sessions of the Church, fiuestions on the " State of Religion ; soliciting from them such information as they might be thle to give. It has not been an easy thing, as the machinery of the united Church is not yet iii complete working order, to procure material for a full report to this Assembly, llcrorts, however, have been received from the Synods of Montreal and Ottawa, of Toronto and Kings- ton, and of Hamilton and London, showing that (with two, or at the most, three exceptioiiK) all the Presbyteries composing them have sent in reports on the state of rolij^'jon to their respec- tive Synods. The Synod of the Maritime Provinces has had no meeting since the questions were issued. J'rom that Synod, therefore, there is no report. But leiiorts ha\-e been for- ■warded to your committee from Presbyteries within the bounds of the Synod, namely : Hali- fax, Prince Edward Island, St. John, Truro, Wallace, and Lunenburg .and Yarmouth. Takirij^ a conjunct view of the whole, the reiiorts received by your committee show, that this vitally important subject, the state of religion, has engaged the attention, more or less earnest, of three Synods, twenty-eight Presbyteries, and three hundred and fifty-six Kirk Sessions. The information elicited is, in some respects, not so definite as could be desired. This was, perhaps, inevitable. It was difficult to frame such (]uestions as might, even .ipproximatcly, meet the widely different cases of so many Sessions and Congregations. So true is this, tliat while, from some quarters, the complaint comes that thf questions are so nearly iiujuisitorial that answers to them cannot reasonably be expected ; in another quarter they Ktt- thus, and that with all fairness and kindness, criticised : " It would api)ear that the reiilies received from Sessions are, for the most part, very meagre — giving little real information .and little true in- sight into their spiritual condition," (1* "Perhaps such answers may be suggested by the nature of the questions. Yet, your committee are of opinion that, if any method could be devised that would draw out fuller replies — replies in the lorm of explanation, or brief sketches of what is being done in each Congregation, with an outline of the discouragement met, and the difficulties encountered, and the means used to remove or surmount these difficulties, ma- terial might be supplied from which a fuller report could be prepared.

Tills will bo brought more fully before the Assembly in the " Report on Statistics ;" yet it cannot but l)e gratifying, in the present connection, to oliserve that, as re,'ard3 the growth in mombursiiij), the majority of the reports from congregations speiik favourably. "In the Pres- bytery of Paris, ejpocially, the increase in moinbership during the past year appears to have been greatly al)ove the average." (!) In the Presbytery of Hamilton, "the largest number received during the year, l)y any one congregation, is 1)0; the smallest number, 3." (2) In some eongregatioiis, notably in Knox Church, Gait, the number received is greatly iu excess of the larger of these just given. F.VMILV WOR.SHIP. From the information laid before them, your committee thankfully conclude that, in our Church, there is a continually increasing number of households, in wliich family worship ia observed, " Family worship is geiu^rally observed, where the head of the family is a professing Christian. Parents arc generally attentive to the 'laty of instructing their children ; but seem to be, in too many instances, wanting in that faitu which looks for tlieir early conversion to <;od." (S) "Family worship is reported as generally observed by the membership of the Church, ami, in some eases, by those not yet in Church fellowship." (t) " Family worship is generally oKserved. During the past year a con8ideral)le number, who formerly neglected it, have begun to pray in their families." (5) Hut, from some (juarters, we have sorrowful com- plaints of the neglect of this most import.int tluty — this most [irecious privilege. In too many instances, likewise, your committee have reason to fear that the instruction I'f the young — their (iodly up-bringing— is neglected, or entrusted to tiie Salibath .School. Along with the com- plaints referred to, the suggestion c(unes, that a pastoral letter, biaring upon the importance of family worship and family instruction, "and urging ministers to direct the attention of parents to the observance of these duties, might be followed >vith good results." ((1) MEETINGS FOR PKAVER. In the congregations of the Church almost, though not .altogether without exception, tliere arc weekly meetings for pnayer. In some there are two or more .such meetings. " Tlieso are, in many eases, reported to l)e well, or increasingly, attended in one instance, and the extent of half the (Sabbath) congregation," ((i) The large m.-vjority of Sessions report that the congrega- tional prayer meeting is well attended." (7) Ihis last statement, your eoimnittee fear, would be f.ar Irom correct in regard to the Church at large. In very many cases the very reverse is atRrmed and Lamented. Yet, your committee are persuaded that the nunilier of prayer meet- ings .'md of those attending them is, on tile whole, on the increase. Mention is made, likewise, of an increasing number of district prayer meetings, conducted liy elders (U- other members of the Church. It will be well for all attending such meetings to lenicmbir the gracicms word: " Where two or three are met together in my nauic, there am I in the midst of them." SABBATH SCHOOLS. There are but few congregations in our Church without their Sabb.ath School or Schools. It would seem aa if no good reason could be assigned for their being even a few. " The teachers are, on the whole, encouraged and increasingly hcl[ied by the memliers." (>*) But, in this great work, much yet remains to be done — There are sympathies to be awakened, resources to be de- veloped, efforts to be put forth, in connection with Sabbath School work, greater than have yet been dreamed of. In this work there is scope for the purest inlluence, for the most cultivated intellect, and the most ardent devotion. " Feed my lambs," is still the injunction of the Good Sheoherd. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me,' CHRISTIAN LIBERALITY. " la there any evidence of increased liberality in the support of gospel ordinances at home, and in contributions to the schemes of the Church ?" To this question we find the following (1) Report of Syiio•? % ; reply, in the report of the Synod of TIftinilton and London : The increase in liljcmlity Ihh hivn greater " tlinn niiglit have been anticipatetl — in view of the Hnnncinl (.rlHis tliroiigli uhich uo nave paHsed."

It leads us to think of its terrible power in ensnaring and ruining the .souls of men, and to long and jiray for the time Mhen no such thing shall hurt or ricstroy in all (iod's linly mountain.

For the first time since I settled here, 1 feel greatly encouraged. Aly ministry has been, to my great grief, comparatively l>arren, but now the Lord is tuniiiij; our captivity as the streams in the South, and we are like them that dream." (0) Your committee rejoice to say, that these quotations could be multiplied. From ninny congregations these glad tidings come ; and they encourage the hope that, instead of the fatlier^". God will take the children, and make them better, more devoted, more successful workers foi Christ than their parents have ever beeu. EVANOELI.STIC SERVICES. In answer to the question respecting these, your committee have received, from one qunitci, this reply : " No special evangelistic services ; but fellowship meeti.igs quarterly, at which iiii.>' or ten of 'the men speak on some essential theme: they are interesting and profitable."

As a considerable sum annually contributed by St. Andrew's Church, Montreal, lessed privilege of communicating some of the light they have so abundantly received, to these less happy little ones now "growing up in heathen darkness, and ere long to be the mothers of a new generation. This is a work so important that Mrs. Murray Mitchell, herself experienced in Indian missions, says that, "the Zenana may be said to be the stronghold of Hinduism ; therefore, let us attack the citadel if we would fully vanquish the foe. Until, in erjual rneasure, the great undertaking is faced, of giving Christian education to the women generally (i. e. equally with the men) we cannot entertain any reasonable expec- tation of evangelizing India." Your committee would conclude their report with the following earnest appeal, from the same writer, who has had opportunities, which only a wonnn can h.ave, of observing the real condition of the millions of women in India, and who sketches their needs and unhappy circum- stances with correspondink force and pathos : "We think we are doing a great Missionary work. The Churches think so, too, and our nation, I dare say, think so, with so many societies engaged. Whatever is doing for the men, here are the women — half the community — shut up and utterly helpless. What is doing for them? One is told that female education is advancing, and it may be so, inasmuch as it is now possible to get access to the women ; but the truth is, that while there are about thirty-three millions of women in Bengal alone, only about 1,500 of these are receiving instniction." [This, how- ever, was written two or three years ago, since which time the numuer under Christian instruc- tion has been constantly increasing.] " Only women can do this work. The time has nut come when men, however devoted and successful they may be as missionaries, can go into the Zenanas. Joyfully, we must believe, would the angels accept the commission to go and tench those helpless women — to tell them that there is hope and deliverance through the Crucifled for them. How their bright wings would speed on such a mission uf love ! But it is given only to U8 to tell it ! Oh, day of days, when the light of Life and the Healer of the nations shall be revealed to this unhappy land !" Such stirring words must surelv quicken our zeal and deepen our sense of the privilege of being permitted to aid, however numbly, in the glorious work of taking the Gospel of the Prince of Peace to that great and magnificent, though darkened, country ; which, doubtless, for this very purpose, has been given as a possession to our country and our Queen.

KEPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF KNOX COLLEGE. ff 4 The Board of MAiuif(ement of Knox College have to report that the number of students in the Theological Department last segsion was & — being tan more than in the preceding session. Of these 15 were of the tirst year, 15 of the second, and 12 of the third. The conduct of the students was in all roapects satisfactory. Mr. Taverner taught Elocution as during preceding session. There were in the Preparatory Department 17 students, 12 of the first year, 4 of the second, and I of the third. The classes in this department were taught by Messrs. A. M. Hamilton, M.A., and W. A. Wilson, B.A. It will thus be seen that 59 students received instruction in the College last session. Seventy-two students, prosecuting studies with a view to the ministry, lodged in the College. As this is nearly all it can comfortably accommodate, it fully justifies the Church in erecting so large a building. It is gratifying also to report that the great facilities afforded by it for study and social intercourse and meetini;B for mutual improvement have been much appreciated, and that the domestic arrangements have conduced greatly to the comfort of the students. From the accompanying Financial Statement, it will be seen that the income of the year amounted to $8,171 41, which is $47 86 more than the income of last year. The current expenses were $13,931 80, being $5,760 39 ab'bve the income. To this must now be added a deficiency of $3,770 86 reported last year, thus shewing that the Ordinary Fund is burdened with a debt of $9,531 25. Although this statement is very discouraging, yet it ought to be noticed that the deficiency is due not to the Church's contributing less than formerly to the support of the College, but to the great and inevitable increase in the expenditure. With- out entering into details — which are presented in the Financial Statement — to account for the increased expenditure, it may be well to state that the interest on loan and advances amounted to $500, and the expenses connected with lighting and h ating the College to $2,514 55. This last may be somewhat reduced by purchasing fuel at a cheaper rate, now that the amount required is known, and also by putting double windows on the building, which the Board has undertaken to do, and which will, of course, be charged to the Building Fund. Still, it is evident that the large, elegant, and comfortable accommodation enjoyed in the College must be attended with corresponding expense. TuK Endowment Fund amounts to $6,292 10. The Bursary Fund, derived from all sources, including a balance of $401 37 in its favor, amounted to $3,836 66. Of this $1,278 have been invested, making the whole investment $8,528. The balance, $2,558 66, was expended on Bursaries and Scholarships, and other charges on the fund. The whole amount subscribed to the Building Fund is about $122,000. Subscriptions paid to the Building Fund during the year amounted to $21,047 99. To this may be added a balance of $175 97 from preceding year, making $21,223 96. AH this, with the exception of $8,259 49, was expended before May lat for the purpose for which it was contributed. The amounts hitherto received for the Building Fund are the following : — For the financial year 1873-4, $22,871 81 ; for 1874-5, $24,482 72 ; for 1875 6, $21,047 99 ; in all $68,402 53. ' The south east corner of the old College site has been sold to the Central Church for $8,500. A considerable number of congregations have yet to be visited. The Rev. R. H. Warden has prosecuted his work diligently and is at present engaged in it. This is required by the necessities of the fund, and by the wish of the General Assembly that all the congregations belonging to the constituency of Knox College be canvassed. From these statements it is evident that everything connected with the College is most encouraging, except the state of the Ordinary Fund. The deficiency in it is no doubt greatly due to the large contributions which have been paid to the Building Fund, and to the financial depression of the country, which has equally affected contributions to all the other schemes of the Church. Besides, it seems to be difficult for our congrcKations to realize the truth that the College cannot now be maintained without larger contributions. Retrenchment is simply im- practicable. Perhaps our people in general do not sufficiently value our Theological Seminaries as a part of the Church, nor perceive their connection with the Church's edification and exten- sion. It must be admitted that we are not educating a sufficient number of students to supply vacancies occasioned by the infirmity and death of ministers, and also to carry on our mission- ary operations. Were it not for the accessions which we are receiving from the Churches in Great Britain and Ireland, and from other Evangelical Churches in the country, the inadequacy of our supply of ministers would at once be felt. Without at all undervaluing such accessions, it is easy to see that the reenlarity and amount of such supply could not do depended on. Besides, it cannot be expected to conduce to the homogeneousness of the Church not to furnish agents by whom our mission work in destitute localities and in heathen lands is to be carried on. rhns the efficiency of jur Theological institutions is vitally connected with the whole work of the Church on whiob its stability, perpetuity and extension are alike dependent. The College Board cannot at present recommend a special effort to clear off the debt on the Ordinary Fund, while our oongregationa are paying their instalments to the Building Fund. «iP;:, V APPENDIX. 193 lEGE.

It has been already noticed that Messrs. MoDiarmid and J. Henrv were obliged to leave before the close of the last term. The earnest prayer of the Senate is that the consolation of Divine Grace may be abundantly administered to both ; and that, if the Lord will, thev may be permitted before long to resume preparation for the work to which they had devoted themselves. * Gratitude to God is expressea for the recovery of Mr. W. M. Henry from a severe attack of fever. The past session will be memorable as the first of our occupancy of the new College. The new building has realized all reasonable expectations formed of it ; and, it is believed, has greatly improved our facilities for the work of the College, as well as secured a high degree of comfort for the resident students. The number of students boarding in the College has been as high as seventy-two : seventy have resided during most of the session. The building has been filled almost to its utmost capacity ; thus entirely justifying the Church in erecting an edifice of the site of our new College. There are improvements not involving much expense, which, if made, would render the students' rooms more comfortable, as well as tend to economy and efficiency in the heating of the building. This matter will, no doubt, be attended to by the College Board, and every- thing done to render the building as complete as possible in al. its parts and in all its uses.

BTUDENTS ATTENDING UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. The Board haa to do with this class of students only in so'far as they enter into competition for a limited number «f scholarships, oiTered to those taking a full University course, and pre- paring to enter the ministry of the Presbyterian Church iu Canada. The number of scholarships offered on this occasion was ten ; their value ranging from m to 845. Twelve students entered as competitors for these scholarships ; four in the first year of their attendance, three in the second, and five in the third. No students of the fourth or graduating year presented themselves for competition on this occasion. The following were the successful competitors ; ' In the Firat Year In the Second Year ; In the Third Year : 1. John Gibson. 2. D. M. Ramsay. 3. George Inglis. 1. James Hamilton. 2. Wm. A. TurnbuU. 3. Malcolm McGregor. 1. Wm. Cameron. 2. Daniel Beattie. 3. W. A. Hunter. To the three unsuccessful competitors the Board voted in all $70, in view of the excellence of their papers, and to assist them in prosecuting their studies. The Board retains the conviction, so often expressed in previous reports, that the scheme now in successful operation for many years, is one of erei.t importance in its bearing on the future ministry of the church and deserves to be more liberally supported than it has been at an; time in the past. Cooke's Church, and Gould Street Church, Toronto, and St. Andrew's Church, London, have continued to give liberal support to the scheme. It has shared also in the proceeds of the Alexander bequest. Many more, however, of our stronger congregations, or of wealthy individuals in the membership of the Church, must ccntribute to the scheme before the full benefit which it could be to the church can be realized. II. STUDENTS IN THE rKErAR^VTORY CLASS OF KNOX COLLEGE. Seventeen students presented themselves to the Board in October, with the view of entering the Preparatory Classes in Knox College. They were all members of the church in full communion, and they were all certified to the Board by some prcshytery. The position of a third years' student was given to William McCulloch. The position of second years' students was given to G. D. McKay and James Ross, and contingent on the closing examination to Abraham Dobson and J. B. Galloway. The position of first years' students was given to John Hatton, Jos. Builder, Thos. A. Nelson, Peter McLean, Wm. Mowat, Edward H. Sawers, Andrew Wilson, Thomas Scouler, William McKinley, George Meldrum and Angus Mackay. The position of oco or two of these, whose attainments in Latin and Greek were found very small, was made contingent in the examination passed in April. One student was recommended to attend a high school for another year. Two students came up too late for examination, W. Amos and N. P. Fishbume. They were recommended to attend the classical and mathematical teaching in the College and certain classes at the University, and their standing was made dependent on the final examinations. It will be observed that the number of students entering the Preparatory Course of Knox College is greater than it has been for several years. As there is reason to believe that the number entering University College, with a view to the ministry in the Presbyterian Church, is as large as in former years, the Church may be congratulated on the prospect of a large and valuable addition to the ranks of the ministry. Of the students passing the examination in October George Meldrum was obliged to leave Toronto soon after ou account of ill-health, and Joseph Builder exchanged the position of a student in the preparatory course of Knox College for that of a student of the University of Toronto. The remainder attended the prescribed classes in Knox College and University College, as did also the other students in the preparatory course. All the students in the preparatory course wer examiaed by the Board in Latin and Creek, and most of them also in mathematics at the ciose of the session. The result testified m APPENDIX. i9r favorably alike to the efficiency of the teaching in this department and to the dilisence of the students. Certiflcates were presented from the Professors of University ColTeee by the ■tadents in the various years, attesting regularity of attendance on the prescribed classes, and in the case of most, satisfactory acquaintance with the subjects of study, as brought out by the terminal examinations. In the cases in which studentH Iiad not succeeded in i>a«aing satisfactorily these examinations, it is recommended tlat thoy be re-examined by the Board iu October next. The names of all the students in the preparatory courne, with the standing assigned them, have already been given in the report of the Senate and need not be repeated here. III. STUUKNTS IN TUB TUEOLOOICAL COURSE. Fourteen students appeared before the Board in October, seeking admission to the Theo- logical Classes. Of these, five, viz., Joseph McCoy, Francis K. Beattie, Alexander Leslie, J. Wilkie and David Hobb, were graduates of the University of Toronto ; six, viz., Colin Johnston, Donald Currio, Alexander Fraser, D. (<. ^MuKay, Williaui Srnitb ard Thomas Coulter, had completed the preparatory course of Knox College ; one other, D. C. McKeuzie had the standing of a third years' student in Toronto University, and intended to take Lis degree therein. Mr. Wm. McDiarmid, a very excellent young man, since deceased, wns admitted to the Study of Theology on examination by the Board, and the standing of Mr. Atkinson as a student of TheoloKy contingent on his taking a degree at the University of Toronto, or passing an ex- minatiou before the Board in all the subjects embraced in the prepatory course. The closing examinations in the Theological course were conducted as in former years by the Board, an associate examiner actinf; in every case with the Professor in the department in which the examinations took place. These examinations were on the whole highly satisfactory. In only one case was re-examinaticn re(|uired in order to enable the student to obtain the standing oi his year ; in several instances, the answers given approached very nearly perfection. The names of the students who passed in the several years, and ot those in addition who gained scholarships, having been already submitted in the report of the Senate are not added here. The Board had before it the case of Mr. McPhayden, a student who completed his course at Knox College a year ago, but some of whose exercises were not then sustained. Mr. McPhayden has now satisfied the Board, and his name has been transmitted to the Presbytery of Lindsay, as that of a student who is entitled to be taken on prelimiuary trial for license. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN M. KING, Cfiairman of Board of Examiners. EEPOET OF THE TRUSTEES OF QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY AND COL LEGE.— THIRTY-FIFTH SESSION. imes Ross, and 7o tht General Assembly of the PMshyterian Church in Canada. The Trustees of Queen's University and College have pleasure in presenting this their first report to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church iu Canada. In the years immediately preceding 1641 when the Royal Charter was obtained, many who- have since been removed by death took an active part in the foundation of Queen's College. Iu the Institution which, by many labours, iu the face of formidable obstacles, they asnisted iu bringing into existence, they have left behind them a monument which, we hope, is destined to suggest to succeeding generations a becoming appreciation of their beneficent services. Such of the surviving founders as still reside in Canada and still adhere to PresbyterianiBm are now, after thirty- two years of ecclesiastical Reparation, again united, we trust happily, in one section of Christ's visible Church. While earnefatly praying that the union effected in June last shall be eminently instrumental iu advancing the best interests of the Dominion, we have confidence in thinking that Queen's College will pr^ve to be a useful auxiliary to that end, and will thereby participate to some extent in the benefits generally expected from the important event now- referred to. The thirty-fifth session, which ended to-day, has not been excelled by any of its predecessors, in regard either to work done, or the order and harmony with which all connected with the College- have discharged their respective duties. All the studies prescribed for the several departments have been overtaken in the class rooms. The results, so far as these can be indicated by pass and prize lists, will be found on pages 35-37 of the Calendar for 1876-77. For some years it has been our privilege to report a steady increase in the number of students, and we have the satisfaction of informing your Reverend Court tnat this session the number is larger than ever. Sixty-nine have been registered in Arts and Theolocy as compared with sixty-six last year. Of theee, thirty-four profess to have the Ministry of the Presbyterian Church in view, ten being students of Divinity. Of the students in Arts, fifteen were enrolled for the first time, twenty-one for the second, fifteen for the third, and eight for the foiu-th ; 198 APPENDIX.

The names and reiidenoes of both ore given on pages thirty-eight and thirty-nine of tlie Calendar. It is pleasing to advert to the increasing number and value of the benefootions whioh we are enabled to report, and for which the College is indebted to the liberality of graduates and other friends. University and Class Prizes to the amount of 9204 were thns provided for during the past seHsion, and this year the Senate has been anthorizi-d to offiir special prizes, to the value of 9240, chiefly for essays to be written during tlio present summer. In the matter of Scholarships the progress made is Hpeoially gratifying. ThcHe important auxiliaries of University and College work may be either o/icm or dese, that Ih to say, may be competed for either by all students whoHc academic standing renders thrm eligible, or only by those who, besides being eligible by such standing, have in view the Ministry of the Presbyterian Church. This distinction, which rests upon the expressed wish of founders or donors, is confined to the Faculty of Arts, and there a special value attaches to open scholarships, because of the greater competition through which success is attained, and because the most meritorious com- petitor succeeds irrespectively of his intentions as to the Ministry. Two additions have been made to the last mentioned class of scholarships— one by the gift of Robert J. Reekie, Esq., Montreal, of the value of 950, for the best examination in Natural Science, the other by the gift of the members of the College Senate, of the valae of 970, for the best examination in Junior Classes. With respect to the foundation of close scholarships no past year has equalled the present. By a beqnest of 93000 from the late Alexander Buchan, Minister at Stirling, Ont., a scholarship of 9100 for the best special examination on Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Ethics, Rhetoric and English Litoratnre, and the Acts of the Apostles in Greek, will be tenable by the successfnl com- petitor during his first session in the Divinity Hall, and another of 8H0 will be awarded on the matricalation examination in Theology. A gentleman resident in one of the Maritime Provinces, who requests his name to be withheld, has for a number of years enabled the Senate to ntTer from 960 to 960 under the name of the Dominion Scholarship. This year, by the gift of 9600, making the total value of his contributions 91800, the scholarship has been placed on a permanent foundation of 91000, and its annual value has been raised to 980. It will be awarded on the matriculation examinations in Theology, and it is open to competitors belonging to any Presbyterian Church in the Dominion. Mr. David Strathem Dow, of Toronto has, by a bene- faction of 91600, founded a scholarship in Theology, the annual value of which, it is expected, will be 9120. For next session a full year's interest will not be available. Its value is therefore nlaced at 990, to be competed for at the matriculation examinations in Theology. A bequest of 9400 from the late Mrs. Margaret W. Molntyre, of Perth, Ontario, whose husband was a graduate of the University, has been made the foundation of a scholarship in Arts, of the value of 932, to bo awarded for the best examination in Senior Classics. The Congregation nf McNab and Horton has made provision for a scholarship of 960 to be awarded on the next matriculation nxamination in Arts, and it is hoped to be continued annually thereafter. Other Congregations could easily do as much if not more. These most useful and encouraging instances of liberality show a total of 9170 given for one session, with the hope of its being renewed, and 96,400 for permanent endowments. Against this we have to place the amount of three scholarships, namely, 9180 given annually in the past for longer or shorter periods, but now, foi various reasons, discontinued. Collections of varied interest and value have been added to tlie Musenm, that by Professor Mackerras, obtained on the continent of Europe, being worthy of special notice. Important additions, by donation and purchase have also been mode to the Library. The Library Fund consists of registration fees — four dollars from each student — donations, and other receipts ; which amounted this year to a little over 9626. The publication of a new alphabetical and classi- fied Catalogue, 216 pages qnarto, at a cost of 9300, was charged to the fund and interfered con- siderably with the parchase of new works. The total number of volnmes is well on to 11,000, and may be valued at from 920,000 to 926,000. The room containing the Library and Museum, although the largest available in the College, has become so crowded that its contents are placed at a great disadvantage and inconvenience. An addition to the building is immediately and urgently required, in order to meet the growing wants of the College, and secure for all concerned the full benefit of existing appliances. Members of Assembly are referred to the Calendar for information as to the work prescribed for next session, and as to the character of the system according to which the educational busi- ness of the College is conducted. At the close of last session the Senate, after long and careful deliberation, resolved to intro- duce a number of changes in the rrgulations respecting the time-table, course of studies, and examinations, in the Faculty of Arts. In doing bo they had several objects in view, such aa (1) raising the standard and a more definite application of its reqmroments to the recognition of particular kinds of merit, (2) determining the standing of students in relation to departments and subjects instead of by years of attendance, (3) mining the daily work less continuous and burdensome, by distribntiiig it over a larger portion of time, and (4) idlowing a reasonable liberty of choice, ehieny as to the order in which the classes may be taken, according to predilection, cdnvenienoe, capacity, or means. The changes, duly announced, came into force at the beginning of the present session, ind the oontLaaauce of them is insured by the success whioh has attended their introdnetion. . . , .

The number of compulsory classes is 13, so that in only one scHsiou is a candidate reguinil to take an many as four, and for the average student this arrangement in considered the beHt, while according to strength, desire, or convenience, be may, if (inalifled by progress oi previous preparation, take as many as four in several sessions. The order of uttcndauce is not preHcribed except tlint Senior Mathematics must be taken before Natural Philosophy, Chemistry before Natural Science, and Logic and Metaphysics before Ethics. Intrants may be admitted into the senior classes of Latin, Greek, nnd Mathematics, or any of them, on satisfying the Senate by examination that they are quali- fied to attend them, and when thus admitted into the senior classes of Latin and Greek, they may complete the course in three sessions. It is believed that au adetiuato proficiency in the above mentioned subjects, duly tested by examination, forms as high a claim fur the degree of B.A., without honours, as can be required consistently with the best ideas as to what admission to the degi'ce should imply, and as to what bhould be aimed at by the most approved methods of Collegiate education and University training.

The Board of Management of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, beg herewith to transmit to the Reverend, the General Assembly the Treasurer's financial statement and the reports of the Senate and Board of Examiners. From the latter, it appears that the College oontinues to prosper as well in regard to the quality as to the number of its students, the elevation of its standard of theological educa- tion having tended to attract rather than as it was once feared to repel. The financial statement unhappily shows a total deficit in ordinary revenue of $3,196 19, of which $1,153 has been carried forward from last year, the expenditure for the year being ba« 206 APPENDIX. slightly in advance of that of the preceding. The Endowment Fund at the present date amounts to $25,440. Subscriptions for the Building Fund during the year have amounted to 92,079 74. The debt on this fund is still $10,410 40, which includes the prine of the land «n vhich the College is built. Over $Q,(iOO of subscriptions to this fund remam unpaid. The Board view with alarm the recommendation of the Assembly's Committee that the territorial limits of the College, already sufficiently meagre, be still further reduced ; and, trusting that the Assembly will not sanction the proposed arrangement, appoint their Chairman, the Rev. J. Scrimger, M.A., Messrs. James Croil and William Yuill to present the claim; of the College before your Beverend Court, and support the annexed recommendation on the subject. A liberal provision for the College is especially urged, inasmuch as it is unable to overtake all the work presented to it, owing ta the insufficient accommodation for students which it atfords. As an efifoi>t is about to be made to increase this accommodation and thus to double the number of students in attendance upon classes, it is most desirable that the friends of the College who have shown so (;reat liberality in its behalf should be freed from the task of supplementing annually the deficient amount contributed by an inadequate constituency. The Board have the pleasing duty of acknowledging the arrival and installation of the Abbe Migne's Fatrologia, the gift of Peter lledpath, Esq., which has been referred to in the report of the Senate, and various donations to the library by Princip&l Dawson, James Croil, Esq., James Moodie, Esq., M. Biband, Esq., Miss Kosanna Smith, Mr. M. W. Scott, the Bev. W. J. Dey, M. A., the Cobden Club, and Dominion Parliament. ipi m If; /■ k ^" -*>>v j' m >- >. RECOMIMEN DATIONS. 1. That the Rev. J. Scrimger, M.A., whose services for the past two years have been of great value to the College, be reappointed Exegetical Lecturer at a Salary as before of $500. 2. That the Rev. C. A. Doudiet be appointed as Professor in the College at a salary of $1,600 per annum in place of the Rev. D. Coussirat, A.M., B.D., resigned ; it being understood that Mr. Doudiet's services shall l^c given to other work in the city of a missionary nature to the full extent which the Board oi French Evangelization may require. 3. The statement of a Committee of the Board appointed to investigate the sources of income having shown that an adherence to the line proposed by the General Assembly's Com- mittee will involve a loss to the annual income of the College, already sufficiently inadequate, of about five hundred dollars, inasmuch as the congregations contributing, or supposed to be- come contributors, though in point of numbers equal to those of the former constituency arc not so in point of ability, and independently of the fact that the previous apportionment of territory was never regarded as equit.il)le ; that the whole of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa be eranted for the support of the College, the loss sustained by the withdrawal of Kingston, BeUeville and other places within the Presbytery of Kingston being made up by the congrega- tions formerly belonging to the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the ChurCh of Scotland, which are added to the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa. All of which is respectfully submitted. Montreal, June^th, 1876. JOHN SCRIMGER, Chairman. "I REPORT OF THE SENATE OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, MONTREAL, SESSION 1875-76.

TUEOLOOICAI, CLASSES. The classes in Systematic Theology, Homilitics, and Church Government were conducted by the Rev. Principal MacVicar, LL.D., in Church History and Apologetics by the Rev. Professor Cempbell, M. A., and in Exegetics by the Rev. John Scrimger, M.A. They all report regular attendance, dilligence and success on the part of their students. The work was carried on by lectures, oral and written examinations and suitable reference to text books and other sources of information. For instruction in Hebrew, students attended the lectures of the Rev. Dr. De Sola, of McGill College. SPECIAL CLASSES. The class in Sacred Rhetoric and Elocution, in charge of the Rev. Wm. Mitchell, B.A., was largely and regularly attended by_ students of the several years, who made highly satisfactory progress under Ids instruction. The Rev. Charles A. Doudiet, assisted by Mr. C. E. Amaron, carried on efficiently the work of the French department. The College is greatly indebted to Principal Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S., of McGill University, fpr a very valuable coume of six lectures on Creation and the Deluge viewed from a scientific standpoint ; and also to A. C. Hutchison,, Esq., for a similar course in Ecclesiastical Architecture PRErABATORY CLASSES. These are carried on in conjunction with Lectures in McGill College, and are intended for students who from various causes do not take a full course in Arts. The Greek and Latin classes were successfully conducted by Mr. Alexander MacFarlane, and the Mathematical classes by Mr. John Allan, B. A. Students pursuing this course were required to take lectures and pass examina- tions at McGill College in the first year in English, Ancient History, and outlines of Chemistry ; in the second year, in the history of English literature, outlines of Modem History, outlines of botany or Zoology, Logic, and the elements of Hebrew Grammar ; and in the third year, cat- lines of Geology, Mental and Moral Philosophy, with Hebrew Grammar and translation. SOS APPENDIX. Notwithstanding this excellent provision for ipecial training, the Senate observe with great Mtisfaotion a growing desire among students to take a full course in Arts, and it records with pleasure the fact that a large proportion of our students are gaining medals and other distinc- tions at the University, while the honor course in theology has done much to elevate the standard and widen the range of study in this department. The Corporation of the University has under consideration the adoption of examinations for the purpose of granting the degree of Bachelor of Divinity, and it is hoped that arrange- ments to this effect will be completed in time for next session. This will place still greater advantages within reach of our students. LIBRARY AND READING ROOM. The Reading Room was supplied with the usual number of papers, periodicals and reviews, and was carried on under the care of the Students' Literary and Philosophical Society. No additions were made to the library by purchase, but valuable donations were received from several friends, amounting in all to 68 volumes. Abbe Migne's Patrologia, referred to in last year's report as the munificent gift of Peter Redpath Eoq., was received in October, and is by the deed of donation to be open, subject to rules to be enacted by the Senate, to all ministers and theological students reaiding in Montreal. It embraces Greek Fatrology, 166 volumes, vellum paper, bDund in 162 volumes ; Latin Patrology 221 volumes, bound in 170 volumes ; in all 387 volumes. From the Librarian's report, the Senate learns with pleasure that no books have been injured or lost during the session, and that students have availed themselves in a gratifying degree of the valuable treasures now placed within their reach. It is respectfully submitted to the Board that the small debt resting upon the Library should be paid, and funds provided for the preparation of a proper catalogue and for the pur- chase of recent theological works. All which is respectfully submitted, D. H. MacVICAR. Principal. EEPOKT OF THE BOARD OF EXAMINERS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, MONTREAL, 1876.

APPENDIX. 211 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERINTENDENCE OF THE THEO- LOGICAL HALL IN MARITIME PROVINCES, 1867. 7 12 1 16 9348 28 fi 93 35 »348 28 At its first meeting, this Board found that the larger of the uniting; bodies in the Lower Provinces supported four I'rofussors, two in the Theological Hall, and two in Dalhousie College, at salaries of $l,riOO each, the Dalhousie Professors having their fees additional, for the payment of which they had interest and dividends on bank stock to the extent of about $4,000 per annum, and received on collections about $2,000, so that annually for some years, incidental expenditure amounting to four or five hundred dollars had to bo drawn from capital. The Synod of the Maritime Provinces, in connection with the Church of {Scotland, bad one Professor in Dalhousie supported by the interest of money raised and invested for that purpose, and one, Rev. Professor Pollok, appointed to the chair of Pastoral Theology and Church History, with a salary of three hundred pounds sterling, provided for a time l)y the Colonial Committee of the Church of Hcotland. On the face of these statements, there is something which requires explanation. There is a theological school with tliree Professors, but there are three others, who nre engaged as teachers in an Arts course, paid by the Church, and yet they are employed in a public institution, which is controlled not by the Courts of the Church, but by a Board of Governors appointed by the Provincial Government of No' ■ Scotia. An explanation is called for. In the beginning of 1860, thoro were besides oiir brethren of the Ileformed Presbyterian Church three bodies of Presbyterians, and each had to provide for an increase in the number and for a succession of ministers. The Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia had a seminary in Truro, supported by its own people, and the Free Church had the same in Halifax similarly sup- ported, while the "Kirk Synod" sent its young men to receive tlieir training in arts and theology to Edinburgh and Glasgow. When the union of 1860 between the Free and Presbyte- rian Churches of Nova Scotia took place, the arts course was continued in Truro, and the theological classes in Halitax. Long prior to any of these dates, Dalhousie College had been built and partially endowed, under the auspices of Earl Dalhousie, from public funds ; had been opened as a College, mis- managed and consequently closed, lie-opened "ubsequently as a high school for the city of Halifax, it flourished for a time, but declining in public usefulness, was closed again. The three Presbyterian bodies concurred in representing to the Administration of the day, and to the Governors of the College, their duty to administer the funds for the support of a Provincial College, which would provide the higher branches of education for all classes. Though these rei)resentations were not inmiediately responded to, yet when the High School experiment failed, and the buildine likely to become a mere museum, the Government of the day, represented by the late Honorable Joseph Howe, expressed their desire to resuscitate the College ; but found they only had funds to pay four Professors, a staff too small to com- mand public confidence and to draw in a body of stud>?ntB. Inquiries having been made in 1862 informally of both the Synods if they would encourage the effort to provide a Provincial Col- lege by sending students, and by devoting to the object, for a time at least, such funds as vtere now devoted to the support of an arts course, and the reply being favourable, a bill was parsed by the Legislature during the next session which admitted, and in fact invited, religious bodies or corporations to endow chairs, and giving to all such bodies a share in the management pro- portioned to their aid. In 1863, both Synods accepted the invitation, and Dalhousie opened with seven Professors, three provided by the Presbyterians (no other religious body coming in), and four by the Government ; and from that date to the present, it has made steady progress, till it numbers ime hundred students, three fourths of whom belong to this Church, and receive the best education which the Lower Provinces can afford. It should here be added that sul'scquent to the making of the arrangement just described, unions were effected by both Synods and our brethren of New Brunswick, who though at times complaining somewhat of the arrangement, as they have a University of their own, yet have borne the burden with patience, as in both cases the funds invested were raised mainly, though not exclusively, in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. » But has not the arrangement subsisted long enough, and has not the time arrived for with- drawal? Had the Governors the power of drawing from the public funds to make up the deficiency which such a removal would involve, but one answer would be given. But as the other denominations. Episcopal, Baptist, Wesleyan and Roman Catholic are combined to pre- vent this, the withdrawal of the Presbyterians would certainly involve u collapse. The institu- tion might not cease at once to exist, but it could no longer command public confidence, or gather around it the young men of our own Church. Withdrawal could scarcely fail to inflict a deadly wound on the cause of public education, and would at the same time seriously jeopardize our own denominational prosperity, by lowering the standard of education of our theological students. In a word, the withdrawal of the funds of this Church would leave us in Nova Scotia without an institution such as our young mentrequire, otherwise the Church must assume the heavier task of providing from her own resources for the maintenance of an arts course. Our object in these statements is simply to lay open the facts of the case, ao that the^ APPENDIX. ■itnation may bo underatood, and the whole Church know why this connection commenced, and why it ii continoed. As the General Aiaemhly haa praottoally committed the ■npport of the Hall to the Synod of the Maritime Provinces the ttoard laid beforu that liody a full statement of the position Mill wants of the Hall, first as respects present support, and secondly as regards the future, expressing their conviction that a more complete endowment was urgently required so that the necessity of pressing annual appeals might be avoided. The Synod after full consideration of the whole subject entertained the Board's proposals most favorably, adopting means to secure what was needful for the current year, expressing approval of the raising of an adequate endowment, but remitting to the Board the dutv of considering carefully, whether at the present time it would be wise to commence such an effort, a (luestion on which, when it came up, there was but one opinion, that it wonld be inexpedient to movt) in the matter at present. Subsequently a circular was issued giving the congregations in the Maritime Provinces the fullest information op the whole matter, shewing that the efhoient maintenance of the Hall was essential to the well-being of our church, and asking for the pravers and tiearty contributions of the whole people for its support. Our financial exhibit at the close of the report will show how far our people responded. SESSION OF 1875-76. The session waa opened by an able lecture, delivered by Rev. Professor PoUok, on the evening of Nuvember 4th, in St. Matthew's Church, to a very large audience-subject : '"The Futuru of Presbyterianism in Canada: its Fiold and AVork." The closing meeting in Clialmer's Church, on April 12th, addressed by Dr. Waters and the Ilev. Messrs. McNeill, of Maitland, and McRae and Cameron, of St. John's, was large and entbusiaatic.

Hebrew, Lewis Jordan ; New Testament, ftreek, Lawson Gordon. Two students of the first year were admitted to study, not on the ground of previous oollegiate training, but because they had taken a high position as church workers, and because the people asked that they should be continued as catechists. The Board having recommended them to seek higher attainments, a tutor in Greek was resolved on, and Mr. D. F. Creelman appointed, who met with them daily, taught them faith- fully, and reports that they made excellent progniss. The course of instruction pursued and the progress of the students of the respective years and under the different professors will be best learned from the reports of the Professors, which, for that reason, are for the year presented in full. I. REPORT OF PROFESSOR McKNIGHT. Theoloiikal Hall— Class of Theology— Semon 1875-76. Another term of labor,' quiet, steady, unromantic, but let us hope not altogether unfruitful, has reached its close. The Class of 'TheoloKy was attended by thirteen students, of whom three were in the third year, six in the second, and four in the first. One day in the week was given to catechetical exercises on the first volume of Hodge's Systematic Theology. The subject which principally occupied the attention of the class on the other days was Apologetics, together with some other topics of a like preliminary character, in relation to didatic theology, such as the Rule of Faith. But a few lectures were also given on practical theology. Having been relieved of thd department of Church History, through the appointment of my eBteemed colleague Professor Pollok, I arranged to take charge of the Exegetioal class one day ill the week. In this class were read six chanters of the Epistle to the Romans. Essays and di/iooursas were read in the olaas and criticised by fellow-students, as in former years. ^ I have much pleasure in teitif jing to the diligence of the students, and the propriety of their conduct. ,v APPENDIX. 213 amenoed, and Pnllok, on the Aa re^ardi tho number {n attendance, it will be obierrod that there ii atill large room for inoreaae. To muet the wants of our Church in the Maritime rrovinces, and inpply a moek, and was examined in Alexander on the Canon. This occupied two days in the week. Ou the remaining day I lectured on the Textual Criticism of the New Testament, discussing such subjects as the history of the transmission of the text, the several species of testimony available for textual criticism, the principles whioh should guide the critic in the settlement of the text, etc. In connection with the work of this class, the students of the first year prepared a Greek critical exercise, and those of the second year a Hebrew critical exercise, while all the students prepared two essavs on subjects discussed in the lectures. These exercises were read and criticised in the class. I might have stated that besides the regular students, this class was attended part of the term by a student in arts, who intends in duo time regularly entering the Hall. In closing, I have great pleasure in testifying to the benefit which the Hall is deriving from the recent addition to the professorial staff, and to the perfect harmony in which the work of the session has been conducted. I am also pleased in being able to testify to the commendable diligence and the consistent- deportment of the students. Respectfully submitted, Halifax, WA April, 1876. John Cubeik. III. REPORT OF PROFESSOR POLLOK. The Class of Church History ami Pastoral Theology. The class of Church History and Pastoral Theology has been attended by thirteen regular- students, four of whom were of the first, five of the second, and three of the third year. Two of the other classes were attended by two partial students. The whole attendance at the HaU has thus- been ffteen. In the case of the thirteen regular students, when a student has been absent less- than once a month I have marked on the ticket the attendance as very regular. Eigbt have been attested as belonging to that category. When a student has been absent more than once and less than twice per month of the session, I have marked on the ticket the attendance as regular. Three belong to that list. Only two have slightly exceeded the latter scale of att<^ndance, and their tickets m& marked simply, attended. This rule takes no note of reasons- of absence, which have, in every case, so far as known to me, been just and proper. One student was constrained by a trying domestic calamity to remain at home for about a fortnight ;. S14 APPENDIX. f f: f.> if' IS' . *< 4( :f And another was frequently detained by the itate of hii health. Thus, thoufih our att^ndanoa may powibly be oapabin ot impruvement, it uiuat be ooneidnred remarkably >((>od.

Had the course boon complotud, thoro would have been additional locturoa upon tho Kpintles in connection with the hiatory anil upon tile development and peculiarities of Christian iloctrinu in the writings of each of tho Apostles, Tho course of instruction upon thu text-bonk of Moaheim waa also luft iiicoinploto, aa thu internal history of the tirat seven centuries — the section arranged for the pruaunt acaaion — waa carried dowu to the end of the fourth century only. Thia incompletenoaa waa cauaud by my illneas in tho middle of the session, by which a fortnight was lost. But for this tho plan Would have been carried out completely. In the months of February and March, a course of lectures on homilotics was given in the place of the lectures on the topics of Church History. It was i ntendud to resume the latter, if time permitted. The lectures on bomiletics were given by rcquust, and wore in accordance with the intentions of those who founded and support the chair of Church Hiatory and Pastoral Theo- logy. On all these subjects two lectures a week were given in the boginning of the session, then three, and during the laat three months of the session four locturea a week. On days when ihnre was no lecture, examinations upon Mosheim or the lecture given in tho class were held. ^>llereso many subjects wore studied, great economy of time was rendeied necessary, and ni'Uoh ditfioulty was felt in overtaking the work properly. It was arranged at the beginning of tho session that on one day of each weuk I should relieve Prof. Currie by taking charge of tho class of Exegetics. Accordingly during thft hour, we read a considerable portion of the Auts of the Apostles — the tirst two chapters critically, and then larger portions relating to the history of the Apostle Paul, selecting such parts as might maintain a connection between this exercise and the lectures on Church History. Six discourses were delivered in the class during the session, namely, a lecture and sermon by each of the foUov. .a students of tho third year : — Messrs. Creelman, Murray and Kosa. lliese, after being criticised and commented on, were sustained. The conduct of the students in regularity of attendance, propriety of conduct in the class, attention to study and general deportment has been everything that I could wiah ; and I have great pleasure in expressing my sense of the kindness and brotherly sympathy of my fellow* professors during thu our nrit association in important labors. Allan Poi.lok, Prqf, Church IliMory and Puntoral Theology, Prizes were offered and won aa follows for best examinations in tho Droek in Acts of the Apostles, and on Chalmer's Evidences, : David F.

The class-rooms now occupied in Halifax are sufficiently commodious for the present, but the building has no accommodation for the boarding or lodging of students, besides it is some- what old, not peculiarly suitable as regards site, and not at all attractive ; and tho Board are fully persuaded that a change is necessary, so that our Ha!l may have somethiu(( of the attractions which weIl>designod and Well-finished edifices present to the students of Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, and Princeton. The buildings in Truro are newer and more modern in style, and the class-rooms very good ; but there is no provisision on the premises for the students to board ; and Halifax oeing the site already tixed by the Synod of the Lower Provinces "the Board felt that it waa not their place to assume that any change in location was to take place, or was now desired. They, therefore, felt it to be their duty, to make inquiries on what terms both properties might be disposed of, so as to lay the information before the General Assembly, and appointed committees to examine and report.

' ,* .YOUNG MEN'S BURSARY COMMITTEB.-(MARITIME PROVINCES). REPORT FOR 1876-76. Yonr Committee are the sacoessors of the Y.M.B. Committee of the Presbyterian Church of the Maritime Provinoes, in oonneotion with the Church of Scotland, who, during the last twenty years, have assisted a number of young men in prosecuting their studies for the ministry, of whom some are among our most useful miniatf rs, though others are not now labour- ing within our bounds. The funds have been received partly by bequest and donation, and partly by annual collec- tions in the churches. There are at present invested Twelve Hundred Dollars ($1,200), and there is a balance in hand of V'lOO.eO. This Fund has also a half interest in the bequest of the late Mr. Kerr, of Chatham, of the amount of $1,600, the investment of which is in the hands of the Eastern branch of the Home Mission Board ; besides claims on three or four persons, in accordance with the conditions on which these have received bursaries, one of whom has this year paid nearly $50. The receipts from Congregations have been exceptionally small for the past year, amounting only to 976.70, but from other sources the unusually large sum of $628.32 has been received, making the total receipts for the year $705.02. This includes a sum of about $264 handed over in cash to this Committee during the year by the late Treasurer of the old Synod of New Brunswick (Incorporated), but not the sum of $1,000, handed over by the same in the form of a City of St. John Debenture, and included in the $1,200 mentioned above as invested. Your Committee think it right to make special mention of a donation of $100, being the fourth part of a thank-offering for the Union, from a young man in St. Andrew's Church, St. John's, New- foundland, who year by year continues to show, by his comparatively large and anonymous con- tributions to the schemes of the Church, the influence on bis heart of our Lord's teachings regardirg giving. Wero nil members of the Church similarly influenced, not only would a noble Memorial of our Union have been raised in this its first year, but yearly, without special appeal or troublesome machinery, abundant funds would flow in to carry on all the work to which the Lord calls us, and for which he sets before us an open door. Ten Bursaries have this year been paid, ranging from $25 to $100 each. The total amonut thus expended has been $565. This is an increase of two on the number of bursaries paid last year; and it is expected that still more will be required in the future. The importance of the church providing funds for this purpose, will not be disputed even by those who show that they fail to reaJize it. In the Western Provinces and in the United States large sums have thus been employed in connection with the various Theological Halls, tmd with great benefit. And it is hoped that individuals and congregations in the East wiU continue as in the past to afford all necessary aid toward the Educational preparation for the ministry of the labourers whom the Lord is sending forth into his harvest. The fact that only four congregations have this year made collections for the purpose is doubtless due in a great measure to the tempo- rary confusion incident to the Union ; and happily the lack was nearly made up by tbn exception- ally large income from other sources. But it is hoped that there will be no repetition of the oversight. In conclusion, your Committee recommend that the work of this Committee be combined in future with that of the Committee of Superintendence of the Theological Hall in Halifax. All which is respectfully submitted, JA8. FRASER CAMPBELL, Convener. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF MANITOBA COLLEGE. The Board of Management in accordance with the instructions of the General Assembly, took steps immediately after such instructions were received towards purchasing a new building for CoL'ege purposes, and for this $4,000 (four thousand dollars) were needed. The Assembly at its last meeting generously agreed to raise the sum of $3,500 (three thousand five hundred dollars), the amount which at that time the College Board expected to have to pay for the building in question. The following is the copy of a rt'solution adopted by the College Board in acknowledge- ment of the generous action of the Assembly in supporting the work of Collegiate education in Manitoba. " Whereas, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada has seen fit to assist the work of higher education in the northwest, by the gift of the sum required to purchase a building for present use in the City of Winripeg, be it agreed that the hearty thanks of the Board are due to the church at largo, for the assistance given to our young and strugghng community,, and for the encouragement of what h.a been and will still be a most valuable agent in the estabhsh* ment of Fresbyterianism in the North-west." . APPfiNDlX. 217 The Board was compollod to raiHO the Rioator part of the amount reqiiired at once ; aud so were under the nocesHity of givutg a mortgage for the amount not yet received, of the sum required. 'Die total amount rucuivud from tlio comniitteo of which the Uov. G. M. Grant is the convenor in 112085. The Board has Kivon a mortgage to D. Macarthur, Esq., manager of the Merchants' Bank for $1000, which is duo on the 15th of July, and must then be provided for ; the balance of $)00 is due to the former owner of the College building, who holds the note of the Board for that amount due in August next. The building which has been in use since last August has been found well adapted for the purpose of the College. An amount of $174.84 (four hundred and seventy-four dollars and eighty- four cents) has been spent diuing the past year in improvements, extensions, and furniture. The Eeriod of want, and in some parts of the country of absolute suffering, through which the province as been passing, has affected very conMidcrably the financial condition of the College both directly and indirectly. Yet the amount realized from fees during the past year is $480.57 ; from Board $1399.76, and the total amount expended exclusive of salaries aud the purchase of building is $2396.84. The number of regular students during the past year has been in excess of that of any previous year, having been in both departments 40 ; these the Board learns from the Senate are in a better state of advancement than those of any previous years, and the classes are becoming on the whole better systematized than has ever beiforo been possible ; and this, notwithstanding the depressed state of the province, and the fact that this pressure is largely upon the new settlcmiiuts, from which a large number of students may be expected, inasmuch as our Church is numerically in the majority in these. Reference has on several occasions been made to the employment of an elementary Tutor in tiio College. After mufh thought on the subject the Board came to a unanimous finding in terms of the following resolution : " That on account of the imperfect facilities for education in the new settlements, the territories, and even in the older settled parts of the province, the Board is of the oj)inion that as a feeder to the College, and as indispensabh^ for the ret^'ution of those junior students \vlio(ome from a distance, the junior department ruist in the meantime bo retained, and the Board would respect- fully represent to the Assembly its very strong impression that the abolition of this department could not but bo attended with damage to the interests of the College." The Board would likewise reiterate tlie importance of the library being increased. During the past year a considerable number of staudanl works have been added by the Board and by private individuals, but the exceedingly new state of the province renders it very unlikely that for some years much can bo done for this purpose from local sources. The sum of $101.97 has been during the past year given for bursaries and prizes, but the statements applicable to the increase of the library apply also in regarel to these. According to a decision bf the late Canada Presbyterian Church, the Board forwards the names of those recom- mended by the Presbytery of Manitoba, by the several congregations having a right to make such nominations, and of those who are ex-oflflcio members of the Board. Those are nominated by Presbytery of Manitoba : Rev. James Robertstm, Rev. John Scott, Hon. DonaklA. Smith. Gilbert McMickeu, and Joliu F. Bain. — Knox Church, Winniiiog : Hon. A G. B.

EZmiMATIOMB. The usual Ohristmas and Easter examinations were held and {carefully conducted. The results were generally satisfactory, most of the students reaching the required standard, and some attaining a high degree of excellence. The Senate has much pleasure in reporting that the progress made by MesHrs. Poison and Duncan, the students in theology, under the care of the Presbytery of Manitoba, is highly satisfactory, and their zeal and diligence most praiseworthy. They have been again appointed by the Presbytery to important parts of the Mission field for the approaching College vacation. MEDALS, BUBSARIEB, AND FRIZES. The Senate has at its disposal a silver and a bronze medal, both given to the College by His Excellency the Governor General. The former of these called the " Governor General's Medal " is awarded to the student standing highest in classes in the fourth form, and last session it was gained by W. R. Sutherland, who intends to prosecute his studies at the University of Toronto. The latter called the " Dufforin Mathematical Medal " awarded for proficiency in mathematics in the same form was gained by W. Laurie. In the third form a bursary of $20 was taken by B. Laurie, and the prize in books by S. Poison. In the second form a bursary of 920 was taken by J. Mo Vicar. In the first form the first prize in books was taken by J. Duncan, and the second by D. R. Sinclair. The Senate would respectfully suggest to the friends of the Church in the Eastern Provinces, the desirability of additions being made to the bursaries and prizes at its disposal for the encourage- ment of deserving students. PUBLIC MEETINO. The annual public meeting of the College was held on the 28th of January in the Court House, Winnipeg, and was numerously attended. Interesting addresses on educational subjects were delivered, and considerable interest awakened. In concluding this report, the Senate desires to express its gratitude to the General Assembly for its generous response to the application of the Board of Management for increased College accom- modation. The present session has so far been the most complete and successful in the history of the institution. All of which is respectfully submitted, GEORGE BRYCE, Ckairtiian of SntaU.

The Committee are of opinion that Mr. Ross' position should not in justice bo affected by his 1 iving declined to enttM- the United Church at the Uuiuu of last year ; but that on fulfilling his uiiligations to the Funil, his rights against it should remain in full force.

These tog< her will raise our Capital Fuud to over 921,000. To the list of annuitants on the fund must be added the name of Mrs. Glondinning and her orphan child, from the first of January next. This will make the claims on the fund for the coming year, so far as known to us, to amount to about one thousand. As this is less thiin the interest of our invested funds, it will be seen that the scheme is in a most satisfactory condition, and that it will warrant the payment of a material increase of the sums paid as annuities to widows and orphans after the time of the annual revision of rates in the year 1878.

In pnttinR the name of Mr. R. D. Mackay, once of Wcllesly, on this roll, tlio Committee per- haps exceeded their power, because Mr. Mackay waa only some four or five years a settled pastor, and somewhere about the same number engaged in mission work without ecclesiastical appoint- ments or standinf;. It will be for the Assembly to dispose of this case. The condition of the Fund will appear from the following st.,.:ment: — ANNUITANTS AND PAYMENTS. J.R.Scott 271 16 R. Monteath 260 00 J.

Your Oommittoo need not ask this House to notice how utterly inadequate the annuities given arc for the su])port of a Minister and his family, and yet they are agreed that in some oases they have nothing more to depend on, yet your Committee cannot recommend any addition to these imless the Fund is greatly increased. As far as appears, the claims on the Fund are not likely to bo less onerous during this year, than during the past. They may be more so, but should th(!y remain as at present, unless the income is doubled, the small capital now on 'land must speedily be absorbed. Your Comraitteee would like to increase the expenditure by enlarging the grants. They are thankful that they have been privileged to disburse so much money, and thus contribute some- what to the comfort of so many of God's Ministers who have now worn out their energies in Ills services, yet thoy at times feel sad that their power is so limited, and therefore they resolved to urge on the Assembly that each Minister shall nfter.this, be required as a condition to having his name on the Fund, to pay yearly henceforth the siim of 50o for every hundred dollars of his pro- fessional income, a deduction being first made for house rent when no manse is provided, all which is reBpeotfulIy submitted.

WM. McKEllKAClIER. SABBATH SCHOOL RErORT. In presenting their first Annual Report to this Assembly, your Committee regret that they cannot give more ample and satisfactory information, atul that tliey are unable to lay before the Supreme Court such definite conclusions as they themselves desire, and such as would prove of practical value to the Church. One reason is, the past year has been in a great measure a transi- tion periwl ; and after sudi important changes as have recently taken i)Iaee sometime ie required (or amalgamation; the joints and bonds reiiuirc time to tit in and cement. Much of the activity and zeal of tlie Chnrcli has been enlisted in consolidating her different scliemes — maturing her future plans — resolving on hei course of action. Brethren must bo allowed time tf ^ look around them and get acquainted in their new relationsliips. '^otli IVesbyteries and many Congregations have had much special work of tlicir own as the result of the recent happy union which has demanded a good deal of time and energy. Much care lias been bestowed on maturing the machinery of tlie Church, and thus that attention has not been given to the Sabbath School work which the extreme importance of the subject demands, and doubtless will now receive, with in- creased zeal when the Church goes forth in her united strength to do the work of the Lord in our land. ^hile this much requires in justice to bo said by way of explanation, it is with profound satis- faction and thankfulness we record the growth and development of Sabbath Scliool work in its various departments througli the whole bounds of the Cliurch. The year gone by has been filled with evident tokens of the Lord's favour ; his presence and blessing have been reahzed in many happy instances. As was indicated in the report on the State of Religion our Sabbath Scliools liave sliared in the revival of the Lord's work in many sections of our country, and the results of the whole year's work throughout the Church arc; well fitted both to encourage and stimulate all wlio have given themselves to the teaching and training of the young. The large increase of both scholars and teachers over what the different sections of the now United Church formerly indi- cated : the greater UberaUty shown, and the much larger amount contributed to missions from our scliools : the increasing number of elders and cliurcli members who offer themselves as teachers : the yearly enlisting of more of the Church's talents and energy : the sounder views that generally obtain reganling the importance of the Sabbath Scliool, its relation ,.0 the Churcli, and the nature of its demaii 18 on the professed people of God, and especially on the older members of the con- gregation : — these and many other happy indications show how deeply the subject of Sabbath Schools has rootetl itself in the a£Fections and care of tlie C'hurch, and furnisli weighty reasons wliy this Assembly should feel profoundly thankful that the Great Head of the Church has so highly favoured her, and put it into the licarts of so many of his people to consecrate themselves to the great and blessed mission of training the young in the nurture and admonition of tbo Lord. Wo are sure The Presbyterian Church in Canada will feel her growing indebtedness under God to her noble band of Sabbath School labourers — the unpaid ministry of the Church — for her increased efficiency and enlarged prosperity. It has pleased the Lord greatly to bless thiS department of labour, in past years, and we have many indications given that it is his purpose to bless it even more abimdp' .tly in future, tliat through the agency of devoted Christian teachers, and under the preaching of liis faithful ministers the Church will arise and shine, and " Gentiles come to her light and kings to the brightness of her rising. " The practical discussions of former years in the various Courts of the respective Churches, now nnited, has been productive of untold benefit by directing public attention to the subject, begetting a personal interest, and in many cases a growing and warm enthusiasm.

Brief as APPENDIX. 227 haa been the time devoted to it, and leemingly imperfect as have been the diROunsionfi, tlieso hour* thus spent have done more to stir up and awaken a deep interest in Sabbath Sdiool work tlian tongue can tell : your (Jommitteu are prepared to nliow tliis on good evidence received. It has been the seed-sowing from whirh we now iniiy (expect the ingathering of tiie liarveHt. No one who haH given any ineaHunt of uttentioii to the growth of our srhools can fail to see that for the last few yearn there has been a Mteady advance, and the results and gains of one year became the starting point of the next ; and indications seem to forshadow a wealthy future for our Church if she only prove true to her mission, and faithful to the Lord who calls her to duty. It beoo Ties this ( lonrt, in grateful acknowledgment, to testify of Ilis goodness who has in such a mnrkeii way established the work of our hands upon us. At no period have the etliciency of our schools and the training of the young occupied a larger share of attention than at present in all branches of the Christian Church, and thi < is pre-eminently true of the rresbyteriau Churches ol Uritain and America. A large amount of tiux' was givctn to these Hubjects by the Assembly recently hold in Brooklyn, U.S., and the tone of the speeches, as wi II as the nature of the deliver- ances, show how deeply that Church is alive to this part of her important mission, and we are glad to report to you a movement in the same direction in oui' Presbyteries and congregations from one side of our Church to tlio other, and we pray tliis Assembly both to encourage and indicate the way for future enlargement by giving more time to the consideration of these subjects, and by giving practical effect to our recommendations. We hope our Churcli will bo wise and true to her own highest interests, and seek to call forth and develop the talent and energy of her pious members, and endeavour to enlist them in the great enterprise of Sabbath School wo'rk. And the rejiorts received show that in many cases this Is being done with gratifying nssults. A large and growing number of our elders devote them- selves as teacliers, and the great majority of all our teachers are members of the Church. The progress in this particular has been very marked of late, and very gratifying, and it angurs well for the spiritual condition of our schools in the future. Many of our most prominent members, judges, lawyers, senators, menibt'rs of parliament, profess^ors, doctors, and editors, are found among the great band of instructors. Many men of the highest position, and ripest scholarships, are willing and glad to spend their time in this great and important work. Happily the time has gone by when it was su])posed that any one was (pialitlcd to teach a class in the Sabbath School. A judge once made the remark to your Convener, "The ha|)piest hours of my life are spent in the Sabbath School." And we have received similar testimony from more than one Senator or Professor. It requires a rare combination of gifts to make an efficient teacher, and the younger the class the more diilicnlt it is to meet its requirements. On reliable information which your Committee has received, we are glad to report that our congregations are begimiing to assume the responsibility of the Sabbath School, and our members resj)ond more heartily year by year to the oall of duty from the Church. It is a growing conviction that the jirosperity of the Chui'cb depends on the efficiency of her schools, and many of our best qualified members feci that the Master has claims upon them, and gladly recognize* those claims by givuig themselves to the blessed work of instructing the young. Eternity alone will reveal how mucli the Church ia indebted to her noble band of teachers, who day by day are striving to guide the young in the way in which they should go. It is interesting to observe that the topics that came np for discussion at Conferences or SeJetunti of Presbyteries, and those which elicit most interest, are all of a practical nature, bearing oi points of vital interest— the every day themes of Sabbath School work. On many of these topi.;8 thus discussed elaborate and carefully prepared papers are read and the action of Presbyteries taken upon them. A brief glance at some of the more prominent subjects will at onoe show what a wide range they embrace, and how valuable the discussions mnst prove to all practical and earnest workers desirous of gaining information and help. Many Presbyteries gave Sedenmts to discuss the subject of Sabbath Schools, and others held Conferences and invited superintendents, teachers, and prominent friends of the cauie to take part. Even with the accumulated weight of responsible duty on the United Chiu'ch she has given more attention to her Sabbath School work in the Church Courts proper than on any previous time in any of her former branches. Among the more prominent topics we notice the following to indicate the nature of the dit'cussions : — 1. " To what extent is the individual teacher responsible for the sncoess of his class and the school?" On this the Presbytery passes the resolution — *' While teachers should aim to bring the children to a saving knowledge of the truth, they should also remember they are to a certain extent responsible, not only for the prosperity of the class under their care, but also of the whole school, and therefore it is their duty to be punctual and regular in attendance — to see that good order is observed — to teach by example as well as by precept — and thus to manifest their interest in the welfare of the school." 2. " How to secure quaUfied teachers for our schools." The Guelph Presbytery gives the follow- ing deliverance : " In order to secure the services of the best qualified and most eSecient teachers the Conference would recommend that ministers and elders use all proper means to influence mcimbers of our congregations intiTcated personally in Christ to give themselves to his service, and that ministers ciUl attention from the pulpit to the aspect of Christian work, and deal with the members of their bible-class with respect thereto." 3. " On the question How to interest children in the schemes of the Church."

How bcHt to Hccuro the contijued attenMouse, Mr. Gordon cited the tes- timony of some twenty Uenerul Managers of Itailways in tho States, to the elTeot that Sabbath trallic is not, and cannot bo made remunerative. Hut even, though it could be i)rovod that in Can- ada tbeex|)erience of railway men is different, still the duty of the Churches, and of all good men dearly woidd bo to spare no effort for tho suppresMJon of this flagrant iniquity. At the ccmclu hIou of bis speech, Mr. (lordon moved, seconded by Mr. Goudge, "That the House do resolve itself into Conunitteo of the Whole to consider the following resolutions : — 1. That the inti^est of public morality and the physical well-being of all classes of tho com- munity alike render it desirable and necessary that there sliould bo a strict and uniform observ- ance of the Lord's Day on all public works which are under tho control of tbo Dominion Govern- ment. " That in the conduct of Government Surveys, and Exi)loratious, Government employees Hliouldbo enjoined to abstain from the prosecution of labour on tho Lord's Day. H. That in the opinion of this House there should bo an entire closing and ceasation of labour on all canals, railways, and other public works wliicli are under tho control of tho Dominion Gov- ernment, during tlio tweiityfoin-.s comprehended in the Lord's Day — savu and except only such bervices as muy be of absolute and unavoidable necessity." The Premier on expressing Ids views on thu subject, which he did at considerable length, urged that nothing was to be gained by passing those resolutions in Conunitteo of the Whole mm ■X -h' mm " 230 APPENDIX. H',-. 1 A'- 1 ■■■' -'■> \- u 1 V.' House, that they were such as no person could object to, and merely a£Bnned a policy ahready in existence : and that all that he (the Premier) had to say, with regard to special abuses, was, that the Government would endeavour, when their attention was called to any, to have them rectified. Several members took part in the discussion and testified their warm personal interest in the promotion of the cause of Mabbath observance, but most of them took the position that, in vievr of the assurancos given by the Premier, Mr. Gordon should withdraw his resolutions. To this, TOth evident reluctauco, he finally consented. It is to bo hoped, and that very earnestly, that now, since the attention of the Uoverument has been called to certain abuses in violation of the existing policy of the tiovernment, action will be taken by the proper authorities to have these rectified. But it should not be forgotten that the enforcing of the civil law of the Sabbath must largely depend on the local authorities in each place where an infraction of the law is committed or attempted. In his remarks in the House the Premier stated that on two occasions recently permission has been given to vessels to pass up the Welland Canal on the Lord's Day ; but on each occasion the captain and crew were arrested under the local law for breaking the Sabbath. All honour to the local magistrates and to those friends of morality and religion who may have acted with him on those two occasions in enforcing the civil law of the Sabbath. It appears that while on the one hand certain forms of public Sabbath profanation come under the cognizance of the Dominion Government there are certain others which can be dealt with only by the Provincial authorities ; and in order therefore to grapple with this evil in all its ramifications the F<'oviucial Legisture as well as the Dominion Parliament must move in the matter. Your Committee are happy in this connexion to be able to report that an Act for the better observance of the Sabbath in Manitoba was recently introduced into the Legislature of that Province ; but as some cf its provisions were deemed rather too stringent, it was withdrawn for the time being, with the view of having it remodelled. It is also gratifying to be able to report that most important action has been taken by the Christian ministers in some of the cities in reference to Sabbath funerals in cases in which the burial could have taken place on the Saturday, or be delayed till the Monday without incon- venience or danger. It is well-known that sometimes funerals have been unduly delayed in order to hold them on the Sabbath, one reason probably being the hope of a larger procession on that day, coupled with an apprehension of a very limited manifestation 3f respect for the dead if the funeral were held on Saturday. That there are cases in which burial on the Sabbath becomes k necessity there is no denying ; but such cases are easily ascertained, and when they occur no scruple should be felt. But in ordinary circumstances such examples are comparatively few. Your Committee feel that they cannot in too strong terms commend the action of the ministers of Toronto in this particular, forty-four of whom have publicly appended their names to the following resolution : — " Whereas the due observance of the Christian Sabbath is essentially associated with th« best interests of morality and religion ; and, whereas, in ordinary cases funerals on the Sabbath are inconsistent with the due observance of that day : " Therefore the ministers of this city would call upon the Christian people to refrain from and discontinue Sabbath funerals, except in cases of absolute necessity ; and that for themselves they feel called upon to withhold the sanction of their presence and service from all funerals held in disregard of these principles." It is to be hoped that the example set by the Ministers of Toronto in this matter wiU be followed by their brethren in other cities, and throughout the Dominion generally. Your Committee feel much pleasure in calling attention to a recommendation reported to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, a few days ago, to the effect that Ministers and Sabbath School Teachers be recommended to use the Scriptural terms: "Sabbath" or "Lord's Day" when referring to the day of holy rest, and not the heathen term " Sunday;" the popular use of which has contributed in no small degree to lower the sacred char- acter and obscure the Divine origin of the Sabbath institutions. In conclusion your committee recommend that the General Assembly and the Presbyteries of the Church, petition the Legislatures of the several Provinces on the subject, in order that such unnecessary Sabbath traffic on Bailways and Canals, as does not come directly under the control of the Dominion Government, may be dealt with and suppressed. All which is respectfully submitted. Toronto, June, 12, 18'1'6. W. T. MoMULLEN, One of the Joint-Conventrs. APPENDIX. 281 OBITUAEY NOTICES. REV. JAMES SALMON. The Rev. James Salmon was educated in connection with the EugUsh Presbyterian Church. He came.;to New Brunswick some twenty years ago, and was engaged for some time in Missionary work in Woodstock and Riclunond. He then spent a few sessions studying medicine in Philadelphia, after which he returned and was settled as pastor in Chipman, Queen's County, administering both to the souls and bodies of men. He was kind and genial in his manner, and had a reasonable measure of success in the ministry, considering the difficulties which he had to encounter. He died on tlie 8th of June, 1875, quite suddenly, when at the prime of hfe, and a few days previous to the consummation of the Union of the Presbyterian Churches in Montreal. He left a wife and largo family as well as on attached congregation to mourn his departure. REV. ALEXANDER BUCHAN. The Rev. Alexander Buchan, during a pastorate of nearly twenty years in Stirling, in the Presbytery of Kingston, gained the sincere respect of his congregation by his pure and upright life, liis punctual and regular discliarge of aU his pubhc duties, and especially his diligent and careful preparation for the pulpiff week by week. Loving the ministry to which he had devoted liis own life, and anxious to add to its ranks, he bequeathed for the aid and support of students for the ministry, half of the httle capital he had accumulated by many years of frugality and self-denial. REV. JAMES McINTOSH: Early in December last there passed quietly away, at an advanced age, the Rev. James Mc- intosh, for twenty years pastor of the Congregation of Amhert.i Island in the Presbytery of Kingston. Mr. Mclntosli was a native of Forfarshire, Scotland, and in his carUer days exercised his ministerial gifts in Aberdeenshire in connection with the United Presbyterian Church. He was a singularly meek and unobtrusive Christian, a faithful and zealous preacher of the Word and an indefatigable and loving pastor. vVhile he was all gentleness to the sinner he was firmness itself in administering the discipline of the Chiu'ch. In the quiet and isolated sphere of his labours he maintained an irreproachable character, and when 'as a shock of corn fully ripe' he was awaiting the Angel Reaper, he was sustained by an unfiinching faith in that Saviour whose tiospel he had so long and so earnestly proclaimed to his fellow-men and liis fellow Christian. " Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright : for the end of that man is peace." REV. A. J. TRAVER, M.A, Mr. Albert Jones Traver, M.A., was a Graduate in Arts of the University of Toronto, and in Theology of Knox College, and in both institutions he stood deservedly high. For eight years he laboured m the Christian Ministry with marked devotedness and success — the first three years as pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Berhu, Ont., and the last five as Minister of the First Fresby- terian Church, Brock ville. A man of superior scholarship, of pleasing address and manners, methodical, too, in every- thing in on einuient degree, he was justly held in very high regard by all who knew him. He had already gained u foremost place among the younger JNIinisters of the Church, and had he been spared would have rendered still greater service. His love to preach the Gospel amounted to a very passion, and during liis long iUness his daily prayer vras that he might be permitted to return to the pulpit for a little longer to speak for the Master. But the Lord had other work for him to do, and so at the early age of thirty-live he was called home to his reward, and died full of hope, and peace, and joy. REV. WILLIAM H. RENNELSON, M.A. This talented young Minister, who gave greai promise of futm'o usefulness, was called to his aw.vd at the early age of thirty, after a short ministry of two years. Mr. Rennclson was a native of Gait. At a very early age he resolved to give himself to the office of the Ministry. Having passeii through tho Grammar School of his native town ho pursued his course of preparatory study for his holy calling at the Toronto University and Knox College. At each of these institu- tions he took a foremost place among his fellow-students and won very high honours. In 1874, after rendering some valuable services in the mission field, he was ordained and inducted into the pastorate of Knox Church, Hamilton, where by his faithful, ailectiouate, and successful labours, as a pastor, ho endeared liimself very much to his own congregation, who deeply mouin their loss in his early death. About a year after his induction he was compelled by an afieotion oi the lungs to disooutiuae the active discharge of his pastoral duties. Notwith- ^■. 232 APPRNDIX. l-f' RtandinR all that oonld be done by medical skill and cbanpe of air, he grew rapidly worse, until his brief careor was terminatod by death. The Presbytery of Hamilton in its Minute, relating to his death, says : " The Presbyte j desiro to put on record its deep sense of the loss wliich the cause of (Ihrist hath sustained in the early death of their yoiing brother, who by his earnest devotion to the cause of his Divine Master, his varied Uterary attainments, liis frauk and amiable manner in all his dealings with his brethren, and his regular attendance at the meetings of the Presbytery, had secured for himself a high place in the esteem and affection of hia oo-Presbytera." f^^-l * REV. J. F. A, 3. FAYETTE. The Rev. John Frederick Augustus Sykes Fay Hte died at London, February 27th, 1676, Mr. Fayette graduated at the Western Reserve University, Hudson, Ohio, in 183fi. He was Ucensed by the Cleveland Presbytery — Old School — in 1839, and thence sent as a Missionary to Canada ; and in 1844 ho was ordained and inducted by the Presbytery of Niagara into the pastoral charge of the congregation of Ancaster. He and his congregation connected themsolves with the Flam- boro' Presbytery of the late United Presbyterian Church, in 1852. He was subftcquently, and successively, pastor of the congregations of St. Vincent, Tecumseh, and Watford. On account of faiUng health he was compelled to resigi his charge at Watford. Although without a pastor's charge for a considerable time, his zeal for the work to which he had consecrated his life was unabated, and he glivlly fulfilled appointments to the vacancies «nd stations in the London Pres- bytery to the extent of his ability. As a preacher, Mr. Fayette was earnest and acceptable ; as a pastor, he was faithful and kind in the discharge of his duties. His deportment was retiring and modest, so that his high literary attainments and most excellent and honourable social qualities were known only to those who were intimately acquainted with him. His last illness, of three months' duration, was peculiarly trying and painful, and 'vas borne with childUke resignation and Bubmission to the will of his Heavenly Father. He died in perfect peace and in the assured hope of eternal life through the righteousness of Christ alone. REV. JOHN JENNINGS, D.D. In the death of the Rev. John Jennings, D.D., which took place on the 24th of February last, the Presbyterian Church in Canada has sustained no small loss. His manly honesty, his large- hearted benevolence, his genial manner and the purity of his character, secured for him the high esteem of all who knew him. Dr. Jennings will be long and lovingly remembered by the people amongst whom he dwelt. Earnest and able as a preacher of God's word, and faithful in season and out of season in the dis- charge of all pastoral duties, the name of Dr. Jennings >/llllongbe remembered. That the deceased, wheu out a young man attending St. Andrew's University in Scotland, his native land, had chosen the mission- fiold as the future scene of his In'/ours, and this at a time when the life of a Missionary involved much sacrifice, shows how greatly he delighted in the work of the ministry for its own sake. Dr. Jennings is to be regarded as one of the Christian pioneers of the Dominion, liaving been among the first to go north of Lake Simcoe, and having travelled on horse- back during his first year m Canada upwards of 3,000 miles in order to fulfil his Master's work. He is better known, however, as a Minister in the City of Toronto. He was inducted in July 1839, as a pastor of r Secession congregation, which in due time became the well ':nown Bay St. Presby- terian Church, — a Church which, while giving offshoots to several portions jf the city, continues flourishing and vigorous on its own ground. During the well-nigh forty years of Dr. Jennings' residence in Toronto, ho was honored with many important trusts — prominent amongst which were three connected with Education. He was a trustee of the Grammar School, a member of the Senate of the University, and one at the Counsel of PubUc Instruction. In his private life ho was highly esteemed for his warmth of heart, his kindly manner, and genuine piety. The General Assembly records with much satisfaction their sense of the influence and labours of their brother as a minister of Christ, and their gratitude to God for his long and useful hfe spent in the QiX^ of Toronto. REV. ADAM McKAY. The late Rev. Adam McKay was a native of Scotland. He began to study for tho ministry at an advanced period of his life, and was liceused in Nova Scotia, where he labourei with groat acceptance! both as a Missionary and a sottlov, it is believed, praise to the Lord will be given for them to all eternity. He was a faithfid jiastor, a delightful companion, a trusty friend. As a member of Presbj-tery he manifested a warm interest in everything pertaining to the advancement of Christ's oause. His counsels were judicious and seasonable. He knew how to speak a word in season. It is felt in Almonte, and in all the region round al ut, that the removal of Mr. McKenzie lias occasioned a blank that will not bo soon tilled. But tlio will of the Lord be done 1 He knows when to send tho servants forth to labour and >vhen to call them in to their everlasting rest. We rejoice that we can think of the broken utterances in which, during his last hours, our brother '■expressed his unshaken trust in tho Saviour whom he had delighted to i)reach as changed now into the perfection of praise, and of his night of weeping as succeeded by tho unending day of joy. )th English and ural truth.

As a studont he was diligont and conscientious in the dincharge of his duties, aii(T held an honourable iilace in all his classes. Finishing his CoUege course in 18B5 he was ordained and inducted in the fall of that year into the iiaHtoral charge of the conKi'eRation of Knox Church,. Dundas, and entered upon the work f>f the Ministiy with Krent zeal and t'arnestuess. The con- gregation flourished under his jiastorul care, ami though often in delicate health ho woi'ked with untiring energy and fidelity. In May, 1872, ho was translated to the pastoral charge of the Central Church, Hamilton, and in his now and enlarged sphere manifested in a still greater degree these nualities whicli had made his pastorate so successful in Dundas. The congregation jfTuw rapidly in numbers and efficiency, and he soon secured a strong hold upon the alfeotions of his people. Our deceased brother gave special prominence to his work among the young, and ■was very successful in conducting Bible Classes. During the summer of 1875 his liealth began to fail, and he was ordered by his physicians to spend the winter on the Pacific Coast in tlie hope that lie would be able to resume his Master's work in spring. But the Master had otherwise ordered. While in San Francisco, on his wiiy home, he prejiared a sermon which he intended to deliver to liis people on the first Sabliath after his return, but this last message was never delivered. On his way home he grew rai)idly worse, and on his arrival in Hamilton it was painfully evident that he had come homo, not to labijur as all had hoped, but to die. For a few days lie lingered, and wlien the final call came he passed peacefully away, trusting in that Saviour whoso gospel he had often preaclied, aiid rejoicing in tho 4iope of a glorious immortality. His sun went down at noon, but the bright memories of his brief ministry remain to encourage those engaged in his Master's work. MOllRIN COLLEGE, QUEBEC. Founded by Dr. Joseph Morrin in lIDfiO.
