PRAYERS TO BE USED AT ALL MEETINGS OF THE SOCIETY AND OF ITS SBYBBAL ASSOOIATIONS. LET US PRAY. Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings, with Thy most gra- cious favour, and farther us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should he converted and live, have mercy upon the Heathen, and those who are in error. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and con- tempt of Thy Word, and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one Fold under one Shepherd, Jesus Christ, Our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one G-od, world without end. Amen. O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all works of piety and charity do proceed, we beseech Thee prosper with Thy blessing the designs of this Society. Comfort with Thy grace those benefactors who contribute to its support. Bless the ministry of Thy servants the Clergy, the endeavour of all who are engaged in spreading the knowledge of true religion in the Dominions of our Sove- reign, and the labours of those Missionaries who are pro- claiming the same in this Province. And may Thy Holy Spirit direct all our consultations to the advancement of Thy glory, and the good of Thy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Almighty Saviour, Who by the right hand of God art exalted, and hast received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, shed forth Thy light and grace on this dark world. O Thou who lovest a cheerful giver, grant Thy people grace that they may minister liberally of their sub- stance to the making known of Thy Name throughout the world. Give Thy olessing to all who are labouring to spread the knowledge of Thy truth, and especially to those Missionary Societies which have ministered to the need of our Church in this Land. Prosper the work in which they are engaged, and make them the honoured instruments of spreading Thy gospel, and proclaiming Thy great and glo- rious Name. Hear us merciful Saviour, in these our pray- ers, and to Thee, with the Father, and the Holy Ghost, be ascribed all honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour, the Prince of Peace, give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divi- sions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly Union and Concord ; that, as there is but one Body, and one Spirit and one Hope of our Calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may henceforth be all of one heart, and of one soul, united in one holy bond of Truth and Peace, of Faith and Charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify Thee ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Father, which art in heaven ; Hallowed be Thy Name ; Thy kingdom come ; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation ; but deliver us from evil ; for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever Amen.

After Prayers the minutes of the last annual meeting, and of a special general meeting, were read and confirmed. The Reports of the Central Board, and Diocesan Board were read, adopted and ordered to be printed. The Report of the Treasurer of the Church Society was read, and State- ments of the accounts of the Church Society, Clergy Trust Fund, Bishopric Endowment Fund, Local Endowment Funds, and Diocesan Board were presented, and all adopted and ordered to be printed. The Report of the S. Francis Dis- trict Association of the Church Society was read, received, and ordered to be printed, with the addition of a foot note showing that Financial Statements, which were too late to be incorporated in the S. Francis Report, had been sent from four Missions in that district, direct to the General Secretary. The Annual Report of the Association of Church Helpers was received, and ordered to be printed in the Annual Report of the Church Society. The Rev. E. .T. Etherington, Messrs. G. F. Gibsone, Walter Henderson, and W. Gunn were elected incorporated 13 I members of the Society ; and four new Life-Members were enrolled, viz : Rev. A. (t. Hamilton Dicker, Lady Chapleau, Mrs Henry Atkinson, and Miss Robina Hamilton. The Vice-Presidents of the past year were re-elected for the ensuing year. The members of the Central Board for the past year were all re-elected with the addition of Messrs. Gr. F. Gibsone, "Walter Henderson, and "W. Gunn. The members of the Diocesan Board were re-elected with the name of Col. J. Bell Forsyth substituted for that of Dr. Robert Hamilton— much regret having first been expressed at the retirement of Mr, Hamilton. The Lord Bishop referred to the valuable services gratui- tously rendered to the Church Society by their Honorary Counsel — the Hon. Judge Irvine, Dr James Dunbar, Q. C, and Messrs. George Lampson, and R. Campbell ; and a hearty vote of thanks was tendered these gentlemen. The services of the auditors w^ere also gratefully acknowleged. It was proposed that the Church Society should apply to the Legislature so to amend 45 Vic, chap. 89, of the Provincial Statutes, as to permit of a distribution of losses (when such occur) of interest as well as of capital in the case of Local Endowments. The resolution was lost : the majority preferring to wait until the approaching Synod, in May, and then consider whether it would not be better to seek from the Legislature, permission to pool all interest, and allot to each Parish and Mission, possessed of a Local Endowment, a share of interest, in proportion to the amount of capital invested — the consent of the interested Parish, of course, having first been obtained. An amendment to Article XIV, re : "W. and O. Fund, was introduced ; but was withdrawn, in view of the fact that the By-Laws were now under review, preparatory to anew issue of the same, and that other amendments to this article were under contemplation. The meeting closed with the Benediction. 14 45 VICT., CHAP. 89. An Act to authorize the Church Society of the Diocese of Quebec, to consolidate certain Endowment Funds. Preamble. [Assented to 21th May, 1882.] Whereas the Church Society of the Diocese of Quebec has, by its petition, represented that it is in charge of certain endowment funds for the sup- port of various Parishes and Missions within the Diocese of (.Quebec, and has prayed that the said Church Society should be authorized so to distri- bute any losses which may occur, through failure in investments, as to make them fall proportionate- ly over the whole of such endowments held by the Society ; and whereas it is expedient to grant the prayer of the said petitioners ; Therefore, Her Ma- jesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislature of Quebec, enacts as follows : 1. The Church Society of the Diocese of Quebec is authorized, so far, to consolidate the said endow- ment funds, so placed and hereafter to be placed in society for *'^® hands of the said society, under deeds of trust certain for investment, as to enable the said Church Society to distribute any losses that may occur through failure in investments proportionately over the whole. 2. The said consolidation of the said intrusted Endowment funds shall extend, only so far as to enable the said Church Society to distribute any losses that may occur, through failure in invest- ments proportionately over the whole, and for no other purpose whatsoever. Note. — The following parishes or missions have agreed to the by-laW on the consolidation of endowments, viz : — Barford and Hereford, Cape Cove and Percd, Cooksliire, Duds- well, (jasp^ Basin, Ireland and South Inverness, Levis, Malbaie, Inverness, Riviore-du-Loup, Bourg Louis, Kingsey, Magog and GeorgeVilio, Stjviistead, Durh.ani, Leeds, Brompton and Windsor, Sandy Beacli, Hatley, Coaticook, Melbourne and Richmond, Frampton East and West, Compton^ St; Sylvester, Portneuf, Three Riversi Consoli- datioa of endow- ment funds of purposes. Consoli- dation limited. 16 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CENTRAL BOARD FOR THE YEAR 1896. (Presented to the Church Socittij, February 3rd, 1897.) The Central Board, in presenting to the Church Society their fifty-fifth Annual Report, are thankful to be able to say that progress and encouragement characterize the work -which they have had in hand. They have however to admit thai the voluntary contri- butions received in 1896, in behalf of the Society's several Funds, whilst still in excess of all years preceding 1895, fall a little below the receipts of that year. The decrease is but 1395.00. Nor is it to be attributed to any waning of zeal on the part of the " Association of Church Helpers," or of the " Church Society Helpers," to whom so largely was due the increased revenue of 1895. Indeed a search for the cause reveals the fact that the aggregate amount raised for general Church purposes in the Diocese, in 1896, really exceeded the amount contributed in 1895 by several thou- sand dollars. The year 1896, as noted by the Secretary ot the S. Fran- cis District Association, was one of unusual activity in the work of building and renovating Churches and Parson- ages. Thus local objects, in many Parishes, claimed offer- ings which, in part at least, might otherwise have come to swell our Diocesan Funds. Moreover, in 1895, seven Life- members were enrolled, whilst in 1896, only two. The qualifying donation for Life-membership being $50.00, we can here at once account for S250.00. The total receipts from the City of Quebec, per Sunday oftertory and subscription, are a little in excess of 1895 (if we leave out of count Life-member fees). This is gratify- ing; and your Board desire to express the deep sense of their obligation to the Association of Church Helpers for contributing to this happy result, by again undertaking to place within the r'^ach of all adult members of the Church in the city the privilege of contributing to the cause of Christ and His Church. Nor can we refrain from giving well-merited praise to our brethren on the Gaspe Coast. The Missionaries there with one voice speak of the harvest-returns from land and sea, as being painfully short ; and yet with them retrench- 16 ment has not benfuii, as too often is the caso, in God's por- tion. Comparatively poor though the people are, and hard their winter-prospect, their contributions towards the ex- tension of Christ's Kingdom exhibit no diminution. We gladly take note of this, and are thankful for such like ex- amples. So far therefore as material things lend to a right judg- ment in estimating work for God, we feel justified in char- acterizing the Church's work, in the Diocese, as progressive and encouraging. We desire to thank God for all His gifts entrusted to us during the past year, and for any measure in which we have been enabled, by their means, to promote His honour and glory.

Some of these applications have been before your Board for nine months The Society's usual grant of $100.00, in behalf of such objects, has, in each case, been confidently relied upon, and no little disappointment caused by the non- receipt thereof. That, owing to lack of funds, your Board have been unable to take these applications into consider- ation, is a matter of sincere regret to them. The working expenses of the Church Society, including the printing of Annual Reports, &c., have to be paid out of the G-eneral Fund ; and the amount available for grants is the balance loft after such claims have been met. This balance is inadequate to our needs. Small though our grants are, they serv^e as a strong incentive, and lend great encouragement, to poor Missions struggling to provide themselves with agencies essential to the due and proper ministration of the Gospel. We rejoice to note the Church's activity, as evidenced by the applications which we have in hand ; but if the useful work of this Fund is to be continued, and is to keep pace with the Church's growth, much more liberal contributions will be required in its behalf We earnestly appeal for such. MISSION FUND. {For the payment of Stipends of Missionaries ; — the Fund being sup- plemented by the annual Grant from the S. P. G., the Assessments of the Rural Congregations, a Grant from the Clergy Trust Fund, and the interest of the Invested Capital of the Mission Fund, — the whole administered by the Diocesan Board:) We were delighted a year ago in being able to report an increase of .$600.00 in the contributions towards this Fund, and we hoped that the advanced-step in its revejiue would 2 18 at least have been maintained. "We have however to ac- knowledge a falling-back to the extent of 1294.49. Every one who recalls our Lord's last fommand, and realizes that every member of His Church, in varied meas- ure, comes under its obligation, must feel that he owes it to God to do what in him lies to extend the privileges of the Gospel. This Fund, the object of which is implied in its title, offers one of the best opportunities for co-operative action in this sacred dnty. In making their appeals, your Board ever seek to inculcate proportionate giving, as a Divine principle*, feeling assured that when this sacred duty is re- cognized, the steady growth of Christ's Kingdom is assured. The revenue of this Fund is entrusted to the Diocesan Board of Missions to disburse. We refer our readers to the Report of that Board, and to the Reports of the several Missionaries aided by it. i PENSION FUND. (^For the support of aged and infirm Clergymen^) All honour to our late revered Prelate who, thirty years ago, declared it to be the solemn duty of the ftiithful to provide an adequate maintenance for their Clergy, not alone through their working days, but as well for the time when, no longer able to work and yet unpossessed of private means of support, they would be compelled to retire ! And all honour to the laitj'^ of the Diocese of Quebec, who, admitting this claim to be just and right, have year by year so generously contributed to the Pension Fund that it now yields, to the present number of claimants, a fair measure of support ! Five aged Clergymen were benefited by this Fund last year— the total amount paid being $2,010.00. At the end of the year another name was added to the list of annuitants. The Rev. H. J. Petry, after having given thirty-seven years, out of a longer ministry, to the Church's work in this Diocese, has been granted a retiring allowance, to begin in March, 1897. widows' and orphans' fund. There were twelve annuitants on this Fund last year, viz. : seven widows and five children. The amount paid was $2,250.00. 19 Accordinir to the present By-Law the widow and orphans of a Clergyman, who had qualified for the benefit, are en- titled to an annuity of $400.00 and $50.00 respectively. The annual premium which a Clergyman is called upon to pay in order to secure, in case of his death, this great ad- vantage, is a merely nominal amount. In the majority of cases it is but $5,00 per annum, and this for a period of ten years only. Surely, under these circumstances, no married Clergyman should neglect to qualify, even though he may not intend to remain permanently in the Diocese. The following Clergymen have completed their ten an- nual payments, viz. : — The Ven. Archdeacon Roe, the Rev. Dr. Allnatt, the Rev. Canons Adams, Von Iffland, Richard- son, and Foster; the Rev. Messrs Smith, Lyster, Kemp, Burrage, "Washer, Thompson, Hepburn, Boyle, Sykes, Ball, Blaylock, Richmond, Chapman, Harding, Stevens, "VVurtele, Search, Petry, Fyles, Riopel, Stuart, Forsyth, Walters, Faul- coner, Fuller, and Robertson. The following are in course of completing their payments, viz. :— The Rev. Messrs. Adcock, Balfour, Bayne, Bishop, Brooke, Curran, Debbage, Dickson, Fothergill, Horner, Husband, Moore, Murray, Parrock, Prout, Rothera, Scott, Whatham, Wilson, and Wright (H. E.) EDUCATION FUND. In this department work has been carried on much as in former years. Fifteen Schools have been aided, and the conditions governing the Society's grants have been com- plied with. Instruction in the Holy Scriptures has been imparted in every School, and the Church Catechism taught. The Schools have been examined by the Govern- ment Inspector, and been regularly visited by the Clergy. In some cases the Clergy have themselves given religious instruction for a limited time each week. The teachers, all possessed of School Diplomas, are favourably spoken of by the Clergy, and much gratitude is expressed for the help which the Society's grant affords. In this connection your Board desire to record their grateful appreciation of the grant of =£80, received now for many years, from the Colonial and Continental Church Society in furtherance of this work. 20 The following are the Schools aided by the Society.

Nine grants were made from this Fund last year ; and every grant voted by your Board was most .kindly doubled by Dr. Robert Hamilton. The aid thus bestowed amounted to 1845.00. In every case the school attended was one of our own Diocesan Institutions. As it would have been most difficult, in some case quite impossible, for the Clergy to have given to their children this privilege, without this assistance, it is needless to say that they have expressed themselves as most thankful for its bestowal.

It is much to be wished that the country Clergy would bear in mind that our system is a cash one ; and, remembering it, pay without requiring solicitation. In accordance with instructions given by your Board, the Depository was, in May last, removed to the store of the Misses McMillan, 112 St. John Street, and placed under their local management. For more than forty years, this office had been discharged with groat devotion by Miss Wood. Your Board feel assured that in granting to this aged and liiithful servant of the Church, now no longer able to work, a small retiring pension of $80 per annum, their action will be approved of by the Society.

The following is the abstract of the revenue account of the Diocesan Board for the year ended December 31st, 1896 : Dk. to Stipends $20,581 »' Pension 400 " Special Missionary Work.. 471 " Vacation Fund Grants 270 " General Expenses 242 " Balance 606 1,571 48 Oh.

Church Society 241 00 " Vacation Fund, donation. 100 00 " Interest on deposits 35 90 $28,571 48 As compared with last year's statement, the above shows that about $400 more was speut in stipends and about $1,000 less for special Missionary work ; that the S. P. G-. Grant has been reduced by nearly $1,000, and that the Clergy Trust Fund was called upon for only $2,500, instead of the whole of the surplus revenue, but that consequently the balance of $3,323 has been brought down to $600. The statement on the whole is a very satisfactory one and indicates that the resources of the Diocese for its Missionary work are keeping pace with the present demands laid upon them, whilst the future reduction of thes*^ resources, from the withdrawal of the S. P. G-. Grant and the depreciation in the rate of interest, is not lost sight of Youi Board regrets to observe a falling oiT of over $200 in the receipts from the Mission Fund, and earnestly hopes that during the current year that amount will be more than made up. The assessments and the subscrip- tions to the Mission Fund are the two sources of revenue which are not of a fixed character and are expected to increase. Upon them must depend any growth in the work of the Diocese, not only outside of the sclt-sustaining Parishes, but also in many of the outlying parts attached to them. Three years ago, the Church Society adopted a resolution having in view the improvement of the stipends of the Clergy. Your Board has not been unmindful of the instruc- tion received and has the satisfaction of reporting that an 26 increase has been made— dating from the 1st January, 1896, — according to the following scheme : (1) That, for the years 1896, 1897, 1898 and 1899, all Clergymen in connection with the Diocesan Board, who have served fifteen years and under twenty years in -the Diocese, and who are not receiving the revenue of a Local Endowment Fund in addition to the Scale Stipend, shall receive an addition of |oO per annum. (2) That, for the years 189f>, 1897, 1898 and 1899, all Clergymen in connection with the Diocesan Board, who have served twenty-five years or over in the Diocese, and who do not receive the revenue of any Local Endowment Fund over and above stipend fixed by the Scale, shall receive an addition of $50 per annum. In view of the proviso in Canon VII relating to Local Endowment Funds, your Board did not deem it expedient to recommend any alteration of the existing scale, which would have involved a larger expenditure than the state of the funds justified ; and in view of the total disappeareance of the S. P. Gr. Grant in 1899 and the possibility on that account of having to readjust our expenditures, it was thought prudent to limit the increase for the period named. The augmentation made has, after careful consideration, been applied so as to confer the greatest benefit. The time at which a Clergyman is most likely to feel the incidence of increasing expenses as well as length of service are points which have been kept in view. The agreements of the Diocesan Board with the various congregations, nearly all terminating with the year 1890, the renewal of these agreements, with an increased assess- ment, has been matter of negotiation for some time past. Whilst it is impossible to report the result with any accuracy at the present time, your Board has much pleasure in saying Ihatin very few cases has any unwillingness been shown by congre^irations, to meet the proposals made for a reason- able addition to their contributions. This Diocese is not increasing either in numbers or wealth. Several congre- gations have, within the year past, suffered losses by deaths and removals, which render the burden of keeping up the same assessment more than they can carry, and the low price obtained for agricultural products makes it difficult for the farmers to increase or even keep up their present sub- scriptions ; yet, on the whole, the general response is satis- factory and exhibits the loyalty of the people to the Church and the value they place upon her ministrations. 27 The valuable synopsis of the work done in the District of S. Francis which is annually communicated to your Society, and which is this year not less interesting than usual, as well as the individual Reports of the Clergy, giving a more detailed account of their labours and difficulties, as well as their successes and encouragements, which are hereunto appended, give evidence of general and substantial progress. Your Board deems it unnecessary to adduce particulars gathered from their reports to show how real and solid is the advancement made, but would refer members of the Church Society to the statements themselves, which will repay any one for the time given to their perusal. The following changes have taken place during the past year among the Clergy serving under the Diocesan Board : In the month of March, the Rev. E. K. Wilson took charge of the Mission of Dudswell, on the resignation of the Rev. Edmund Jackson, who has left the Diocese. In the month of October, the Rev. J. W. C. Prout was appointed to the Mission of the Magdalen Islands, in place of the Rtn'". J. N. Hunter, whom the Bishop put in charge of the Missionary District of Lake Megantic. In the same month, the Rev. C. E. Bishop was appointed to Labrador in place of the Rev. I. N. Ker, who, in the following month, took charge of the Mission of Shiga wake, vacp^^ed by the appointment of the Rev. R. J. Fothergill to the Rectory of Drummondville. In November, the Rev. H. S. Harte was appointed to the Mission of St. George, in place of the Rev. Thos. Rudd, who has left the Diocese. The Bishop having undertaken to make provision for the work at Lake Megantic without aid from the Diocesan Board, the Mission of Scotstown, though still of large extent, has been brought within limits less trying to the powers of the Missionary in charge. The Parish of New Ireland, with its five established congregations and large extent of country, affording more work than one man could well cope with, your Board deemed it right to make provision for assisting the Clergy- man by a grant of $400 towards the stipend of a Deacon who will also devote part of his time to a congregation in the Mission of Leeds. All of which is respectfully submitted, A H Quebec, A. A. Von Iffland, President. Secretary. 28 beport of the lord bishop FOR THE YEAR 1806, With reference to Special Funds entrusted to liiin for Missionary Worlc in the Diocese. In addition to the Missionary "Work in the Diocese, undertaken and administered by the Diocesan Board of the Church Society, showing that $13,710.31 were received during the year in Assessments, and that $11,537.52 were received from other sources, and +hat $27,965 17 w^ere spent in Stipends of Missionary Clergy, &c., the Bishop has been enabled, by kind friends and supporters of the Diocese, to undertake further Missionary Work at Beebe Plain, Dan- ville, Hereford, Lake Megantic, Leeds, Sandhill, Johnville, on the coast of Labrador, and on the Magdalen Islands. Towards this additional work $1,086.25 were received in Assessments, $1,451.00 were received from other sources, making the whole sum paid by the Bishop in Stipends, &c., up to $2,537.25. Hence we may say with thankfulness that the Assess- ments amounted altogether to $14,796.56, while the contri- bution from the interest of invested funds, added to dona- tions, subscriptions, &;c., amounted to $12,988.52, and the total sum spent on Stipends, &c., for Missionary Work within the Diocese, amounted to $30,502.42. 29 Report of the St. Francis District Association of the Church Society, for the year 1896. Sherbrooke, December 8th. The amount of money raised for Church purposes by the various Parishes and Missions of the District, during- the year, is 829,800.78. This is somewhat below the returns of last year. But it is hardly surprisin<»- that in a year of financial depression, such as the past year has been, there should be a slight falling off in the contributions of our people. Of the amount referred to above as contributed for all purposes, $1,740.85 were contributed to objects within our own Diocese, and |1,373.88 to objects beyond our Diocesan limits. The Baptisms during the year have been 249 ; Burials 140 ; Marriages 53. There are now some thirty-two Clergy engaged in Educational and Missionary Work in the District. The work of the Church has been carried on with vigour throughout the District, and there are many features of interest in it worthy of note. 1. It seems to have been a year of unusual activity in Church and Parsonage bu.'ding, and ri^storation. Now Churches are reported at Bury, Eustis and Canterbury, and restored Churches at Danville (where a beautiful new struc- ture, opened on Sunday last, replaces the edifice which was destroyed by fire a year or two ago) and Lennoxville, where the old parish Church has been transformed by the removal of the galleries, the extension of the west end, and the addition of stained windows, and a new tower with a chime of bells, the only chime in the Diocese, outside the city of Quebec. A new Parsonage has been built at Sawyerville, and several Parsonages and Churches in various parts of the District have been restored and improved by painting and other repairs. 2. The Educational Institutions of the Church in the District have not only continued their good work but made great advance in many ways. Bishop's College and School have this year made great strides in the number of students and in financial condition —the Jubilee Fund having 80 reached the majynificent sura of ^48,420.92. Compton Col- lege too, freed from debt, looks forward to a future of vigour and usefulness. Here, two great needs are, more pupils, and moni^y to carry out much needed repairs. 3. The work in the country parts of the District sei'ims to have boen pushed with greater vigour than ever, this year. The Clergy are not content with ministering to those who come to Church, but go out into the back settlements, where Services are held in school an00 towards a stationed Clergyman. My Wardens do much gratis work, so as to make the cause easier, for which they deserve our richly merited thanks. Our present urgent needs are a Graveyard and a Parson- age. The former has long been spoken of, and the latter is absolutely necessary, if a married Clergyman is to remain in these parts. Of course a stationary C^lergyman here is a matter of trial for a year ; but the people say it is a trial that is not going to fail. I am sorry to record the loss of three sterling families during the year. I remember their worth m hen I was a Student here. We could ill-afford to lose them. Their names are Cleveland, Stevens and Parsons. If it be possible may they soon return. When we think that five years ago this Mission payed $50 per annum, three years ago #100, and is now paying $800, we have good cause to be encouraged. Numerically small as we are we must evidently be Catholic, for on Sunday last w^e had, so far as I know, the only Chinese, African, and Indian in the Parish, so that with Britishers we represented the four quarters of tho globe. There is an absolute need of a Parsonage here ; the people all desire 3 84 I it. We have a house, barns and lot offered us lor i|450 $200 expended upon the dwellinpf would make a very comfortable Parsonage of it. One might deprecate to hurridly erecting a Church, but here, where real estate is rising in value, there could be no risk in acquiring a house ; it could always be rented or sold to the Church's advantage, if ever we wer«' compelled at Agnes to come back to the old student-system. Financial Statbment. Pftroehiftl objects, $263.69; Diocesan objects, $27.. •{;").— Total, §201.04. BARFORH. The iiov. G-. H. A. Murray reports : — Church work has gone on in about the usual way during the past Christian year. There has been very little change from last year in the number and order of, and the attend- ance at, the Services. My duty one Sunday involves a drive of thirty miles, three Services and Sunday School, alternat- ing with eleven miles, four Services and Sunday School the next. Regular week evening Services are held at Dixville and Stanhope ; occasional at other places. The chief Fes- tivals and Fasts are observed in a fitting manner. Much attention had to be given to the sick and dying during the year, especially the first part of it. Several acts of kind- ness last Christmas, and at other times, bestowed upon their Pastor and his family by individual members of the several congregations, all of which were duly appreciated, should not be overlooked. The amount raised for the Church Society is less than last year ; but it must be re- membered that last year's was exceptionally large ; the lists, however, will show that a thorough canvass has been made. A rise in the assessment is now under considera- tion. About twenty-eight per cent, of the total amount raised in the Mission has been given to extra-parochial purposes. St. Cuthbert's, Dixville. — A slight increase in the number of children at Sunday School may be noted. 86 Mr. \V. Chamberlain not only gave some beautiful flag- stones tor a walk I'rom the road to the Church, but he also assisted Messrs. G-ill, Johnson and Mayhew to put them in position. No women's organization ol' any kind is at work in this conftregatiou, notwithstanding the fact that frequent appeals have been made ; there is some talk, however, about the resuscitation of the Guild — "a consummation devoutly to be wished." The Diocesan Board assessment and other ilnancial matters always receive prompt attention. The C'hurch officers are the same as last year, and they all render elHcient service. The Lord Bishop held a Confirm- ation in March, an account of which has appeared in the Diocemn Gazelle. Mrs. (^harlcs Damon, after a long ill- ness, borne with Christian fortitude and resignation, enter- ed into the rest of Paradise, on the f)th of February. St. Lawrences, Barford — Miss Elizabeth Ward, the oldest member of this congregation, passed away on the 1st of July. Her life was an example of Christian charity. Mrs. Cunnington, a woman concerning whom everybody who knew her spoke w«'ll, fell a victim to Pneumonia on the 17th of January, Dr. Ward and his family are always ready to promote the welfare of the Church. St. Pant's, Stanhope. — The first thing the new Wardens, Messrs. Marsh and Young, did was to get the exterior of the Church, the horse-shed, and the fence around the lot, nicely painted. This seemed to create a little rivalry on the part of the ladies of the congregation, for they revived their Guild, got to work, had a Sale and Entertainment on the 11th and 12th of November, and cleared upwards of $50, which amount is to be spent in improving the interior Mrs. Ducharme, the energetic president, and her husband both worked hard to make the Sale a success ; other will- ing workers, however, were not wanting. Mrs. F. Damon and Mrs. Ducharme have work in the Sunday School ; the attendance Summer months was larger than usual. March 1st was a day to be remembered ; for, despite the almost impassable condition of the roads, his Lordship managed to be present for the baptism of two heads of families and the confirmation of five, all of whom have done good during the 86 been added to the Commnnicants' roll. It is to be hoped that the earnest words of their Chief Pastor on that occa- sion will not soon be forgotten. The Organist and her little band oi assistants in the Choir deserve much credit for their efforts to make the Ser- vices more hearty. The unattached part of this congrega- tion is a little smaller since a new " Meeting House " has been opened. Church of the Advent, Perryboro\ — A commencoment has been made in the direction of improving the Church lot here, but there is a good deal to be done yet. Two visits from their beloved Diocesan were much wel- comed by this congregation. His Lordship came for con- firmation on 24th March, and was able to remain over for an early Celebration of tho Holy Communion next morn- ing, and on the 16th October the liurying-ground, donated by Mr. Jones, was consecrated in the morning, and in the evening an appropriate Harvest Thanksgiving Sermon was preached by the Bishop. To make further remarks con- cerning these Services would be to repeat what has already been published. Mrs. K. Birch, a regular attendant at the Church's Ser- vices, an earnest communicant, an active member of the Guild, and a good mother, was called from the ranks of the Church Militant on 9th January. Twodays later, Thomas Cromwell, who for years was confined to the house from rheumatism, but who received the Holy Communion at intervals, passed away, having reached the ripe age of eighty-six years. The Guild here is still working. Judg- ing from the Church Society lists, it seems evident that the zealous collectors met with no refusals. The amount col- lected more than doubles any previous record. Taking the Mission as a whole, there is much reason to thank God and take courage.

The Rev. Principal Adams reports : — We report with devout gratitude at the end of another Christian year : this report completing eleven years of work in Bishop's College. The Clerical staff of the College remains the same as last year. Professors Allnatt, Wilkinson and Parrock working with the Principal. The services have been maintained in 38 their integrity. Celebrations of the Holy Communion every Sunday at 7.30 A.M. First Sunday in the month at 9.45 also. Every other Holy Day at 7.15 A.M. Morning Prayer— Sundays at 9.45, dfily at 8.45 (shortened form.) Evening Prayer — Sundays a'c 7.00, daily at 5.80. Litany every Sunday, also at 12.45 on Wednesday and Friday. During Lent a short daily, Service of Prayer with Reading at 7.45 A.M., conducted by the Principal. A change has been made, this year which has worked well, the Morning Address being specially, though not exclusively, addressed to the School ; this has been delivered once a fortnight by the Chaplain of the School (Dr. Adams) the alternate Sun- day being taken by the three Professors in turn ; while since January, 1896, the School has not attended the Even- ing Sermon. All have attended Evensong, immediately at the close of which, we have had the University Sermon, given as a rule by one of the Staff. The representative of the S. P. C. K., Rev. W. Robinson, preached for the S. P. C. K., to a joint congregation of the St. George's people and the College on Sunday, June 21st. Canon Thorneloe preached the University Sermon on one occasion, and we hope to welcome other Parochial Clergymen in like man- ner not less than once a term, the College Staff' taking the place of the visiting Clergyman. Some disappointment was caused by the non-completion of the Chapel. Various difficulties, for which the Com- mittee could not be held responsible, prevented further work. In any case the funds in hand or promised are not by any means sufficient to complete what is required. In a matter of this importance it is perhaps best to make haste slowly. A new stained-glass window is being prepared, one light in memory of a former Student, Harold Young, the other in memory of one of the boys of the School, Willie Faulconer, son of Rev. W. G. Faulconer. There is a not considerable deficit on this window to be made up later. The year has been notable for the progress of the Jubilee Fund. A small beginning of not much over |1,000 was promised, but it was not till December 2iid, 1895, within the year now being reported upon, that news was received of Mr. R. Hamilton's generous offer of $20,000, conditionally on the raising of $10,000 otherwise before 31st July, 1896. By the latfer date not less than $28,000 had been promised, either absolutely or conditionally, making the present total 39 of the Jubilee Fund $48,000 conditional ; of this, how- ever, ^1,000, that promised by the venerable and active S. P. C. K., is conditional, (a) on a total of .£9,000 being- raised otherwise— (This condition is practically complied with) ; (b) on the totals of two special endowments being raised, the Principalship to !i20,000, the Professorship of Pastoral Theology to $25,000. This condition will require an addition to the fund of about 15,000 more. As some of what we have received is appropriated and cannot be used, we find it necessary to appeal for a further sum of $5,000, in order to meet the generous aid of the S. P. C. K. Many friends of the College have given, but there are tho.se re- maining who are doubtless waiting to see how their gifts may best be disposed. We are devoutly grateful for the measure of success which has been vouchsafed to us When the idea of the Fund was promulgated in September, 1894, it was hoped, as a sanguine forecast, that by September 1899, fifty thousand dollars might be raised ; by December 1896 the actual sum promised in all ways is $48,429.92, including S. P. C. K. The second condition of the S. P. C. K. compels us to exceed the $50,000 in order to obtain the ill, 000 granted by them. I have dwelt on this because it is important that, as members of the Church iSocioty, we should be interested in the efforts that are being made to strengthen Church Education. Afs an Instilntion, we have to thank the Church Society, for aid to the sons of Clergy who are being educated both in College and School. This aid, doubled by the ready bounty of Mr Robert Hamilton, has enabled students to enter the ( 'ollege who would have been debarred from it ; and the same may be said of the school where, by this means, sons of Clergy can receive all the benefits of the school for something like eighty dollars a year net. During the year no Contirmation was held ; the class was numerically small and the boys were young ; it was thought best to hold the class over for 1897. I have been glad to adopt a suggestion of the Bishop whereby the labour of the Sunday School is lightened for myself, and I am. enabled to avail myself of the kind assis- tance of Dr. Allnatt and the Head Master ; Mr. Scott, one of the Masters, has assisted me also for a time. The new arrangement is one whereby the whole School meets col- lectively instead of in three separate classes. I have asked 40 Dr. Allnatt to take the Confirmation Candidates. Dr. All- natt also holds a Bible Class of Candidates for Holy Orders every Sunday at nine. Two of our recent graduates have been ordained Priest^ Messrs. Moore and Bishop. Three have been ordained Deacon : Messrs. Stanley Dickson, Almond and Barton. A graduate in arts, after three years at the general Theolo- gical Seminary, New York, Mr. M. H. Carroll, has been ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Maine. The meetings of the Missionary Union have been regular and interesting. The Local Mission has continued Services at four centres. The Bullard School House (Sunday School), Haskell Hill, Moulton Hill (in both these latter, Sunday School and Ser- vice every Sunday) and at Belvidere, Service once a fort- night. Eustis Church we welcome as a marked gain to the general work. "We are willing to supply Sunday School there, and a second Service every Sunday, should Mr. King wish it. Those who have assisted the Principal in this Mission are Dr. Allnatt, Prof. Parrock, Mr. Brockington, Messrs. Watson, Donnelly, Almond, Barton, Gustin, Vial, Hibbard, "VYurtele, Balfour, Dutton, Moor, Callis, Tannar, Taylor, LeGallais, Major, Whitley. Mr. Moor took Haskell Hill during the Summer vacation. Mr. Callis has taken Moulton Hill during the Summer as well as before and since. During the year the Principal has preached at Quebec : (Cathedral, St. Matthew's and St. Michael's); Montreal: (Cathedral, St. James the Apostle, Grace Church, St. John the Evangelist, and St. Jude) ; Sherbrooke, St. Peter's and Church of the Advent ; Lennoxville (St. George) ; Compton, Danville (three Sundays) ; Richmond (two Sundays) ; Waterville Mission (various) ; besides lecturing at Mar- bleton. As the C^ollege increased from fourty-four to fifty-nine, and the school from sixty-five to eighty-two, the possible congregation in St. Mark's Chapel has increased from one hundred and nine to one hundred and forty-one ; Roman Catholics and Jews are, however, not expected to attend. On October 1st, a joint Harvest Festival was held for the Congregation of St. George and the Institution. The Chapel was decorated very tastefully by the ladies of St. George's Church, assisted by the Students. 41 Early in September, we had the privilege of the Bishop's visitation, which was held at the CoUeg'e, followed by the *' Quiet Day " under the care of Bishop Hall. His address- es, as well as those of the Rev. J. Macarthur, of South Acton, were specially helpful.

The funds were provided by the self denying work of Mrs. Stone, and the ladies of the Guild. They collected and worked with such zeal that the whole expense, both of the ceiling and new carpets, was provided for. I trust that they may see the reward of their labours in larger congregations, JohnvUle. — The work both here and at Sandhill has been mostly carried on, under my supervision, by Mr. T. Dowdell, B A., of Bishop's College. Mr. Dowdell has done his work most faithfully and efficiently, and his labours are appreciated by the people and myself. At the same time, I feel that a state of things where the Rector can only minister to a congregation, once in four or five weeks, is not a satisfactory one, and I trust that some day it may be possible to make Sandhill and Johnville, with Milby, into a separate Mission. Mr. Dowdell has revived the Sunday School at Johnville, with himself and Miss F. Terry as teachers. Baptisms, 21 ; Marriages, 3 ; Burials, 12. Financial Sratembnt. Parochial. Diocesan. Outside.

The Rev. T. Blaylock reports : — The chief work of the year — a work which has caused us much thought and anxiety, but which has been brought to a successful issue — has been the building of the new St. Augustine Church, to replace the one destroyed by fire last year. It was felt, when the old Church was lost, that it would be absolutely impossible to build anything like as fine a Church again. But none now regret, what seemed at the time, to be an overwhelming disaster, for the new Church is an accomplished fact. It is in a more convenient location, being near the centre of the village, — more churchly in style, — more beautiful in its appointments for Divine Service, and infinitely more comfortable for the congrega- tion. On the sixth of December, it was solemnly dedicated 58 see to the worship of Almighty G-od, by the Bishop of the Diocese. All ielt the words of his text to be true, of the material beauty of the new Church as compared with the old. " Ihe glory of this latter house shall exceed the glory of the former, saith the Lord of Hosts." A large congrega- tion was present, of whom seventy partook of Holy Com- munion, In the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the Archdeacon preached, and in the evening the Bishop administered adult Baptism and Confirmation, and again preached to a congregation, which literally packed the Church from end to end. His plain exposition of the meaning of the Services of the day, and especially of the baptism and confirmation just administered, reached with telling force the ears of many who hitherto had given these subjects but little thought. May they bear fruit in due season. During the day, over seven hundred had attended the three Services. Altogether, it was a day not soon to be forgotten in the annals ot the Church at Danville. Early in the year, plans furnished by Mr. H. Staveley, architect of Quebec, were accepted, and the building committee, consisting of C. C. Cleveland, Gr. K. Foster and C. Boutelle, went to work in earnest to see them carried out. They devoted much time and faithful labour to their work, and the result is as substantial and sightly a Church, as we could possibly wish for, — the equal of any of its size in the Diocese, The basement contains a large Chapel, or Sunday School-room, which will seat 125, a furnaee room, and a smaller Chapel which will seat about forty. From here stairs ascend to the Chancel, where the choir is seated. Within the altar- rails is a beautiful carved oak Altar and Reredos, with handsome super frontal, partly the gift of St. Matthew's Guild, of Quebec, The w^hole of the Chancel is covered with a velvet carpet of appropriate design, purchased by the Ladies' (xuild, who also gave the matting for the aisles. The pews in the nave, as well as the choir-stalls, are of polished oak with carved ends, and will seat 225. The roof is finished in open timber-work, ceiled with pine 2|' wide, in squares, the wholevarnished, and is very effective. The east and west windows, the five nave windows, and the side Chancel window, are all memorials of chaste design and artistic «»xecution, and are the work of Spence & Son. Montreal, on whom they reflect great credit. The donors were C, C, and G-, F. Cleveland, the Stockwell family, Dr. and Jos, Speer, Mrs, and John Wadleigh, Mrs, Bernard, C. 54 Boutelle, Mrs. G-. K. Foster, and Mrs Blaylock. The whole Church is brilliantly lighted with electricity, the cost of installation (bome $200.00) being borne by the Ladies' Gruild. The power is supplied free by Messrs. C C. and Gr. F. Cleveland, who run their dynamo specially for us on Sunday night. The building itself has a basement of stone, the upper part being solid brick, with trimmings ot Montreal dressed limestone and slated wnth Rockland Slate. " A , 3stic," instead of ordinary mortar yv&s used for inside finish. There is a side tower and spire separated from the nave by a short vestibule, through which is the main entrance and which is a marked feature of the build- ing. Having at last a Church, in a cor^'^nient location and eminently suited for the purpose io\ vhich it was erected, it is to be hoped this congregatioi^ a \ soon grov/ both in numbers and influence, and my bfeoi, laanks are due to all who have assisted in bringing about this happy consummation — to those who have given so generously both of their time and money in the parish, and to our friends in Quebec who came to our assistance. In the rest of the Parish the work of the Church has gone on as usual. Confirmation having been held in Trout- Brook and Kingsey Falls. At five stations, six Services are held every Lord's Day, bringing the ministration of the Church within the reach of all in this Mission.

The Rev. "W. A. Adcock reports : — Church work in this Mission I believe to be steadily pro- gressing, judging from the general interest of the congre- gations. Our Services have been well kept up, our con- gregations are steadily growing, and keener interest is shewn in Church work generally. The Services are bright, the responding and singing being thoroughly congrega- tional in character. The assessments have been promptly met. The Ladies' Gruild is working with more vim. The Sunday School is flourishing under a good staff of teachers. All the scholars stay for Morning Service in a body. A Monthly Cathetical Service for the scholars is held on the second Sunday atternoon of each month. This Service is always looked forward to with much pleasure by all, judg- ing by the attendance. Last Lent two nicely worked Ban- ners were presented to the Church by the scholars. Their Lenten offerings were forwarded for Missions in the East. Special week-night Services were also held, when ad- dresses were given on the book of Common Prayer. The number of Communicants during the past year has trebled. The sum of two hundred dollars will free the Parsonage of all debt ; to this end the Ladies' Guild will hold a Sale this month, and the clergyman purposes to start out with a subscription list to make up the deficit. At this writing, we are getting a Sunday School Library. Improvements have been made on and around the Church and Parsonage premises, new Church steps and a gravel walk, the Par- sonage land well drained, trees and shrubbery planted, etc., etc. The number of men and youths attending our Services is very conspicuous. At Ascot financial difficulties in the past have done much to retard the work. I have pleasure in reporting all things now settled, almost every 69 family having increased their subscription, whereby the demands of the Board are able to be met. The population here is largely French, and our community is gradually d'^^n^ling. A pleasing feature of the work here is in fii.'^'iag invariably a well filled Church, while not a few Walk several miles to attend Service, and the larger pro- portion of the congregation oftentimes being of the sterner sex. We have recently adopted the envelope system and so far it works well. We have here a Sunday School which is doing good work, carried on by a staff of the worthy laity. Not able to be present myself, I take the opportunity of supplementing the lesson and catechizing every Sunday immediately after the second lesson, in face of all the congregation, I have experienced many acts of kindness from the people of the Parish, and every request for the work's sake has been met with a cheerful response.

Wright reports :— During the past year the work has been going on steadily in this Mission, and though the growth of the Church here is certainly slow, I trust that it is sure. Georffevi/te. — The Services in St. George's Church, G-eorgeville, have been regularly kept up as heretofore. Matins and Evensong every Sunday, celebrations of the Holy Communion twice a month, and Service with short address on Wednesday evenings. The attendance has been very fair at all services, and, of course, during the Summer months, when our Summer visitors were with us, was very good. The Ladies' Guild (who meet during the Winter months) held their annual Bazaar in August, and were helped very materially by our Lady Visitors. The same evening an excellent Concert was given by the visitors, and the pro- ceeds handed to the Guild, to be used for Church painting, repairs, &c. On Tuesday, November 3rd, the Bishop visited George- ville, and after spending the afternoon in calling on every 60 Church family in the villa 5 55 Pension Fund "73 I 58 Bishop's CoUeRe llrt 81 Compton College 6rt 40 3.

The Rev. F. Boyle reports : — Looking back over the year which is now just closing, I find that we have done nothing wonderfully good causing undue elation or rejoicing, on the one hand, nor on the other have we been so remiss in duty, as to cause depression or despondency. The fact is, we have gone on our quite and even course, without falling into extremes on either side. The Services in all our Churches have been duly maintained, and the attendance has been fairly good, the year round, during the Summer unusually so. Through the kind permission of our Bishop, my second son, Percy, has assisted me during his vacations, I am pleased to say, with much acceptance to my people. The Church at West Framptoii has long been much in need ofrepairs. Two of our Lady Helpers, JVJrs.Wm. Bartho- lomew and Mrs. Hugh Wilson, went around among my people and raised something over seventy dollars for the above object ; and Miss Martha Bartholomew consented to call on a few friends in Quebec, with the pleasinji^ result, that she raised some sixty-nine dollars more. With these two amounts at our disposal, we will be able to make the Church look something like what the House of God ought to be. I embrace the opportunity here, of commending this congregation for their good works ; and at the same time of thanking Miss M. Bartholomew for her solicitations in our behalf, and our kind friends in Quebec, for their liberal and timely assistance. I may farther say that this 62 congregation is always up to the mark in meeting their engagements with the Diocesnn Board, and they are not behind in other contributions, when asked. In the above, I have merely stated facts concerning pounds, shillings and pence, but in addition to pecuniary offerings, many of the parishioners gave one, two and three days in labour, free of charge. One of our old patriarchs, Mr. Andrew Bartholo- mew, who is almost an octogenarian, seeing his yr ager neighbors giving their time to beautify their Church, and not wishing to be behind the rest, volunteered to mount the steeple, and do a day's shingling there. The task was a perilous one for a man of his age, and on a cold day in the late Autumn, involved the risk of health as well as of limb; but in spite of remonstrance, up he went, did his day's work, and did it well, — virtually saying by his acts, that God could protect him as easily on the steeple of a Church, when doing his duty, as He could on Terra Firma, and that he would do so. It is pleasing to witness such implicit assurance. St. Paul's, Hemison. — The congregation here have done something too. The Wardens, Messrs "W. Holt and Albert McLaughlin, collected over seventy dollars with which, by the aid of some voluntary work, we have put up a new and. substantial fence around our Church and Burying-Grround, which gives fair promise to last twenty-five or thirty years without much repair.

The Rev. J. P. Richmond reports : — St. PavTs Church. — ^The Services here have been held regularly ; and during the Summer months there has been a fortnightly celebration of the Holy Communion. Arrange- 68 ments have been mado with Messrs. J. Spence, of Montreal, for a stained-glass East Window. Wo hope to have it in place early in the coming Summer. The work at ♦he Parsonage has been going on, and a new barn and^stable have been built in a convenient position. St. James' Church. — Here too the Services have been held regularly, with the exception that I have ol'ten been obliged to have Services at 6.30, instead of 3 P. M., owing to the Services in the new Church in York. In this Church there is now, throughout the year, a fortnightly celebration of the Holy Communion. York. — Church not yet consecrated. —On the average, Services have been held here every three weeks. On Christ- mas Day, the Holy Eucharist was celebrated at an early Service so as to admit of a celebration at the Church of St. James at the usual hour. In spite of the early hour, there were twenty-five communicants. The Church will, I hope, be consecrated n*'xt Summer. Thel'Ame aux Cousins School-House — During the Summer, the better to meet the convenience of the people who live beyond this settlement, I have the Services in the afternoon, but during the winter months, I. am often obliged to fall back on a Service at 6.30 P.M., owing to other engagements. The Ladies* Guilds have raised and exp.'nded the fol- lowing sums : St. Paul's, #204.00, Parsonage ; St. James', $134.00, Parsonage ; York Church, -IIOOOO. The search for petroleum is still going on, but there is nothing yet to indicate the settlement of a number of people at any particular spot.

The Rev. A. Stevens reports : — The nature of the work in this Mission does not change materially from year to year. In all these townships, with an increasing French-speaking population, and the English people split up into many separate religious bodies, we do not look for rapid growth in any of our congregations ; but, if at the end of a year or two we find our numbers even slightly increased, w^e thank God and take courage. At Hatley the increased number of regular communi- cants which I spoke of last year has been maintained ; and the attendance of several young men at that Holy Feast has been especially gratifying:. A few people from Montreal and elsewhere spent their holidays in our village last Summer, and our congregations were increased. They took an active part in getting up a very successful concert, and helped in other ways to render our people aid in their efforts to replenish the treasury. The Wardens began the year with a deficit, which at one time began to look serious, but, by extra diligence, which was met by a cheerful re- sponse on the part of the people, and especially by the Ladies' G-uild, the closing year will find us with all de- mands fully paid. During the holidays, Mrs. Stevens had a little girls' Sewing Guild, w^hich met at the Rectory every week, to sew for the Indian children in our North West. At the end of August they had a Sale of useful and fancy articles, partly their own work and partly the gifts of older friends, which realized a goodly sum. Fifteen dol- lars were sent to help educate a child at the Homo on the Piegan Reserve, and the "Woman's Auxiliary have just sent a large bale of clothing to Miss Brown, to be distributed among the destitute Indians on the same Reser re. Just before Easter I received from a devoted parishioner, a sum of money towards the purchase of a new Chancel carpet ; I announced the gift in Church and asked for further dona- tions to supplement it. I am happy to say that I have now on hand over $60.00, and the promise of enough more to make up the sum required. The grave-yard, w^hich has lately looked neglected, has been greatly im- proved, and I have just been offered, as the nucleus of a permanent endowment, |100.00, the income of which is to be used for keeping the ground in order for all time. The Parsonage has been improved by the erection of a wood-shed, and by putting in a soft water cistern with 66 pipe and pump iomplcte. The Ilatley Dniinatic Chih kindly lyave tho ^Sunday School one hali'ol'thn proceodN of one of their entertainments last Winter, with which we honj»ht about fifty volumes of books for the Library from the D»»p sito'-y in Sheibrooke. I am also indebted to this Club for the ^ift of' twenty dollars towards the purchase of a site for a propos* il. Church at Ayer's Flat. Our conyrej^aHon at Ayer's Flat, thoujj^h small, has been well maintained ihrouj/'iuut the year, and thoucfh we have had losses by death anH , i .aoval has averaged lavf^er than last year. Wf shall, howev 1 1, greativ miss Mr. Samuel llethring- ton and his fat ;.t\ , who are alu/atto move away. Ever since their coming t'ley have manifested great interest in the Ser- vices here and have done all they coiiN' to help me in every way. Our proposed Church here is nut making very rapid progress, but I have in the bank about forty dollars as the beginning of a fund, which I hope will soon be enlarged. At Massawippi congregations have improved sine-' last year, but there is still large room for growth. Our Even- ing Service here is mostly attended by young people, and the responding and singing are generally hearty. I have held ten Services at the McConnell School-house, across the Lake, and have had congregations varying from twr.i'-five to forty-five. There is a chance to do more work here, which I hope to be able to avail myself of shortly. I have been hoping for some time that by the end of the present century this may become a self-supporting Parish. It will be a happy day for us all when this, the Mother Church of Stanstead County, after seeing hiu* daughters grown up to independence, shall herself be able to wholly provide for her own wants.

Murray reports : — Since resuming charge of this Mission, last April, I have gone out occ^isioually for Sunday Sev\ ices and to visit the pick, 66 Services are held at Hereford and Canaan, Vt., every Sun- day, and at Hall's Stroam, Averill, Vt., and Colebrook, N. H,, fortnightly. The congregations at each place, except Hall's Stream, have been good with hearty responding. The prospects, on the whole, are encouraging ; but ther.^ is need of a resident Clergyman,— one who is somewhat aggressive. Mr. Patterson, student, B.C.L., who has taken the greater part of the Sunday Services, since Mr. Wilson left, and who spends his vacations in the Mission, has discharged his duties so efficiently as to win the favour of the people. So many have had to do with the financial affairs of the Mission that I am unable to give a definite statement. Baptisms, (Adults, 5 ; Infants, 12,) 17 ; Marriage, 1 ; Bu- rials, 5.

Dickson reports : — The work at St. Stephen's and at the Church of the Ascension has been continued without interruption, in much the same way as last year ; and though marked success has not crowned our efforts, we have reason for thankfulness when we consider the adverse circumstances with which we had to contend, such as the loss of bridges, which cut off fourteen Church families during five Spring and Summer months, and the removal of a large number of our young people to places offering more remunerative employment. At the Church of the Ascension, Campbell's Corner, thd Services have been hearty and well attended ; though, for reasons above mentioned, the average attendance for the year has not been any larger than during the period covered by my last report. The Lenten Services were very well attended, and there has been a marked improvement both in numbers and regularity on the part of the individuals, in the attendance at Holy Communion. Some repairs have been made to the Church foundation, and a new chimney built. The Woman's Auxiliary, under the direction of Mrs. Austin, has held its regular meetings, and in company with the branch at St. Stephen's, has sent a barrel ol useful clothing to tiie Thunderchild Kesorve, to be distributed by the Eev. D. McDonald. At St. Stephen's, which is not centrally located, but little 67 change can be reported. The attendance at the Services has not varied much from what it was last year ; any improvement in regular attendance on the part of some, being about conterbalanced by the absence of others owing to infirmities, removals, and deaths. The members of the two congregations did much during the Summer to improve their cemetory in the way of levelling, fencing and defining the boundaries of family lots, &c. The attendance at Kinnear's Mills, during the early part of the year, wasencouraging, considering the distance some members of the congregation live from the Church, and the difficulty in keeping the old building at all comfortable during the Winter months ; but, on the 18th of April, the high water swept away three river bridges, cutting me off from ministering to that congregation till the 10th of May, when, by a much lenghtened road, I went out for Service once in three weeks, and in July the Rev. Mr. Rothera, of Leeds, became responsible for the Services or the Sundays I could not go; which arrangement existed till the first of October, when, on the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Barton to work in this county, the boundaries of this Mission were changed, and Kinnear's Mills was made part of another Mission. At Adderley, hitherto part of the Parish of New Ireland, there had been no regular Church Services for some months, and when I could not go regularly to Kinnear's Mills, I went to Adderly on two Sundays out of three, and was formally placed in charge when relieved of Kinnear's Mills in October. The families who take an active interest in the Church's work here are few. We have no organ, and their is a scarcity of both Prayer and Hymn books, which together with the effect of having no Services for such a length of time, render il difficult to have the bright hearty Services I would desire. The congregation is small and, though steadily increasing, the average up to the present does not reach twenty. On the 16th and I7th of March, the Bishop held three well attended Confirmation Services in this Mission, con- firming nineteen persons, four of whom were heads of families.

The Rev. W. Gr. Faulconer, reports : — Hofi/ Trinity Church, Upper Ireland. — Quiet pastoral work has been carried on during the past year. The regular Services have been maintained, and the The chief Festivals observed with a good average attendance. The number of Communicants has increased since last yoar. Sunday Schools have been kept up here, in the Bennett Settlement, and in the Gill Settlement, by a number of faithful and devoted teachers. The attendance at all these schools has bi^en fairly good, considering the long distances many of the children have to come. The Women's Gruild and Missionary Auxiliary have done excellent work under the presidency and secretaryship of Mrs. F. Wood and Mrs. J. Bennett. Thanks to our kind and efficient Church-Wardens, Messrs. W. Dinning and T. Porter, the assessment to the Diocesan Board has been duly paid. The congregation is greatly indebted to Mrs. H. Wood, our untiring organist. Under Mr. Barton's care the choir has greatly improved. Christ's Church, Lower Ire/and. — The Services here, on Sundays and the chief Festivals, have been well attended. A marked increase in the number of Communicants has been the result. The Sunday School has been maintained in successful operation. The Women's Guild and Missionary Auxiliary has done excellent work, and in many w^ays has done much to further the Church's cause. Great credit is due to the officers, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Wood. Our Church- Wardens, Mr. Little and Col. Ward, have seen to the prompt payment of assessment as it br»came due. i^y the liberality of Mr. William Johnson, of Lower Ireland^ and Mr. Andrew Johnson, of Thetford, supplemented by a small collection made in Lower Ireland, the Rectory at Maple Grove has been repainted and papered, and the kitchen re-floored with hard-wood. Our best thanks are due to our organist. Miss M. Marshall. Sf. Peter s Church, Black Lake. — Owing to depression in the mining business here. Church work is at a low ebb. We have but four families remaining. These few, notably Mr. and Mrs Crabtree, Mr. and Mrs. J. Johnson, and our kind organist, Mrs. Wilson, do all that lies in their power to maintain and further the Church's good work. The Women's Guild have placed a beautiful st^ijied-wiudow Chancel during the year, in the T-sagsatasss 69 St. Joh,i^s Church, Thetford. — Divine Service has been held here every Sunday by myself and ray assistant. Rev. Mr. Barton, since October 1st, with steady progress. Mr. Barton has now the chief charge of this Church, together with Kinnear's and Broughton, and a fortnightly Service at Beattie's Settlement. 1 trust that the new scheme, inaugu- rated last October by our Bishop, will bear much fruit under the energy and devotedness of my assistant. Mr. Barton. He will be able, after his first year's experience, to make his own report in 1897. Baptisms, 21 ; Marriages, 9 ; Burials, 4. FiNANCUL Statement.

The Rev. J. S. Sykes reports : — Thero is a good deal to tell about Kingsey if one could only tell it well First, it is a real pleasure to look at our Church of St. Paul's, Sydenham Tlace, since it has been beautified within and without. The outside has received two coats of paint (there is no need to s.".y how badly it needed it), and the roof has been covered with sheet iron. The interior has been completely renovated, the walls and ceiling having been done in chaste and sober tints, de- corated with a wide stencilled border, and the ceiling pan- nelled, the pews and all Church furniture varnished and floors painted. But, if the finished work ik<' If is pleasant to behold, it is far more pleasant still to know how it was brough*^ about. In the Summer, in conversation with a member of my congregation here, Mrs. Sarah A. Parker, I expressed tny longing to si?e the Church improved ; she at once promised me the sum of $50.00 towards the painting of the Church outside, on condition that it should be done before the Bishop came to us for Confirma- tion. Mentally, I said ''done, " and I would have don« it myself rather than have forfeited that fifty dollars. Well, I secured a painter to do the work for sixty dollars. The ten extra dollars did not so much frighten us, as the thought of the contrast between the freshly painted walls, and the dried up, weather-beaten look of the shingles on the roof ; so a Committee of Ways and Means decided that we must have a new roof ; subscriptions were asked for, 70 and the new roofing put on. When the painting outside and the roofing were finished, and the bills came in, we found our funds ten dollars short. I don't like debt, and especially in connection with the Church ; so I wrote to Mrs. Bacon, of Montreal, and told her of my trua'^^e, ex- plaining that we needed sixteen dollars to pay al. bills, and asking her to help us. By return mail I recei ,^ed a P. O. order for the sixteen dollars. Then tho same lady who started me with the $50.00, found, what many a one has found before, that when once you begin to do good works, it is hard to stop. Well, this same lady in- formed me that she intended to be responsible for the whole cost of beautifying the interior of our Church. No small thing for one member of a country congregation. The cost being, painting outside $60.00, roofing 154.00, interior $12000, in all $234 00, of which one good woman gave $170.00. While we are recalling pleasant experiences, we may mention the Bishop's visit for Confirmation, when eleven were confirmed at Sydenham Place, and three at Spooner Pond. At Denison's Mills, the Bishop baptized a child and celebrated the Holy Communion. When one thinks of the Bishop's busy life, there is hardly room for the thought, that the work ol' a single Mission is, in any sense, hard And then his Lordship's visits are stimulating and refreshing to all of us. As regards the Services, at all the stations they have been recularly maintained and well attendea. The lady collectors are deserving of great praise for the way in which they laboured to keep up the interest in the work of the Church Society. Neither the inclemency of the weather, the badness of the roads, nor the difficulty of finding time deterred them from the good work. Their success, however, they considered an ample reward. Gifts of fruit and other things,from all parts of the Mission, goto prove the kindness of my people. From the family of Mr. Geo. Hall, 1 received a special Christmas gift of three dollars and fifty cents. A beautiful Font has been placed in the Church at Spooner Pond* at a cost of $40.00, and a Brussels carpet, of churchly pattern, greatly improves the a^ypearance of the Chancel. For the latter we are mainly indebted to Miss Edith Hill. The children of the Sunday School in connection vrith this congregation are learning "to do ft good and to distribute," having sent $5.00 to Medicine Hat lor tiie Indian children. And to our little ones at Syden- ham Place we are indebted for a handsome chandelier of three lights lor the Chancel. Death has removed from our midst the Venerable Tlich- ard Lonsdell, late Archdeacon of Hochelaga, in the Diocese of Montreal. The Revs, the Rector of Richmond and the Incumb.»nt of Kirkdale kindly assisted at the funeral, paying a last tribute of respect to our departed brother. Mr. Henry Wadleigh, one of the best known men in Kingsey, after a painful illness, died and was bur- ied, his funeral being attended by the greatest number of people of all creeds and classes ever seen on such an occa- sion in Kingsey. Another patient sufferer, in the person of Mrs. Allen, passed away, having been bed-ridden for over five years ; and still another, a young girl who died of consumption, a member of the household of Mr. John C Evans. I hav^e also to record the death of Mrs. Calvin Moore, a faithful member of the Church, whose last days were marked by intense agony, but the end was peaceful.

St. ClemenCs Mission. The Rev. C. E. Bishop reports : — I hasten to write a short report, hoping it may reach the Church Society in time for publication. The weather has been very bad and rough thus far this Fall, so we have ha»i rather a hard time in working through the Mission. Once we nearly lost the " Evangeline," also at another time our own lives, but were providentially spared. We hope to get into our own winter quarters within a few days. I was ordained Deacon St. John Baptist's Day, 1895, On July 20th, 1 left Quebec per S.S. "Otter," with my wife, for St. Clement's Mission, as a Second Missionary with the Rev. 1. N. Kerr, B.A. We landed at Sheldrake, the new part iid western extremity of St. Clement's Mission, July 22nd. We worked in the Mission till the middle of June, 1896, when we returned home. Besides visiting nearly the whole of the Mission by boat, my wife also travelled nearly two hundred miles with me by '• Cometique" and dogs. From October 8th, 1895, to March 11th, 1896, we remain- ed at St. Paul's River. During nearly the year of my time in the Mission us Deacon, I held one hundred and ninety- eight Services with a Sermon, also a good number of Services with an Address. On August 30th, 1896, I was Prieste'd and left Quebec per S.S. " Utter," and landed at Sheldrake September 26th, where I began my trip through the Mission. At Magpie — about twenty-four miles from Sheldrake — I met Mr. Almond, who left Gaspe per " La Canadienne," September 16th, having been ordained Dea- con August 30th, 1896. From Magpie we have been work- ing our way through the Mission together. Thus, accord- ing to the arrangements made by the Bishop last year, we have the much needed services of two Missionaries, a Priest and a Deacon. We have also two School Teachers, who also act as Lay Readers. Mr. Cernew, a new teacher this year, will teach at Red Bay till March, then at Mutton Bay till the fishing season begins. Mr. Willis, our old stand-by, will teach at St. Paul's River, where my wife taught last winter. When the people begin to move into their summer houses, which is generally in April, Mr. Willis will then teach at Lydie's Cove in a family of eight children till the fishing begins. Mr. Almond will work 73 between Mutton Bay and Harrington till Spring, making one trip west as far as Casco. I shall work at »St. Paul's River and vicinity till after Easter, as the work of a Mis- sionary is needed there quite as much as in any other part of the Mission. In the meantime I shall make a trip fur- ther East to Blanc Sablon and the usual distance into the Newfoundland Diocese of Labrador. On August 8th, 1896, we became the happy pan^nts of a son, hence my wife being unable to return this Winter, we tried to procure a lady teacher to take her place, but were disappointed. The influence of a lady teacher, especially a married one, is very much needed in some parts of the Mission. And if arrangements could be made for one in addition to the present staff of male teachers, it would be a most healthful influence in the Church's work, — an in- fluence not only general, but personal, which can only come within the province of a woman's work and influence. . The Rev. I. N. Kerr, who has done most faithful and efficient work here for the last four years — one year as Teacher and Lay Reader, one as Deacon and two as Priest — has now left to take up work in the Mission of Shigawake. The first Mission Church in this Mission was begun and completed under his guidance at Mutton Bay. Arrange- ments are now being made to build another at the next important Harbour of Harrington, next Summer. It is hoped that the kind friends who contributed so generously towards the building of the Church at Mutton Bay, will also feel in a position to do the saDie for Harrington. Some good subscriptions have already been made, but over $300.00 is still needed to meet the proposed cost of $800.00 besides the internal furnishings, which we hope to get by next Summer. As this Mission has had the benefit of two Missionaries during the past year, some very encouraging and promising features of the Church's work have been manifested. When we were leaving St. Paul's River last month, Mr. John Goddard asked that " Prayers " might be read o^i Sundays, and offered to act as Lay Reader there, and at his Summer House ; which h? did with good results, and to the satisfaction of the people. At Mutton Bay, Mr. Organ has continued to act as Lay Reader, so that Services are held in the Church in our absence every Sunday. Mr. has also taken a g^ood interest in conducting new^ Mission Thomas Green the Sunday 74 School. Mr. Thomas Bobbitt and Mr. Thomas Buffett have taken a j^ood interest in their work as Church-Wardens. At Harrington, Mr. John Bobbitt has acted as Lay Reader since last May, holding Service twice every Sunday, with an excellent influence for good. Mrs Daniel Bobbitt, who is well known for her interest in the Sunday School, has been assisted this yoar by Mrs. Caines, Miss Sarah Cox and Miss Amelia Bobbitt. Each and all have done their best in iheir respective parts of the Mission to assist in the Church's work. "We wish to extend our heart- felt thanks to them, and to record our appreciation of their work and influence for good. To meet the wants also of the people here in general, we organized last May a Y. P. C. E. Society such as to include the members of the Pres- byterians. It worked very well with both classes, till the Presbyterian Missionary, who has now left, wished to " work it with less machinery " than the Constitution and By-Laws provided for, hence a separation followed with an increase to our Branch of the C. E., which is now in a very promising state. The Christian Endeavour corres- ponds in its method of w^orking, to the St. Andrew's Cross, only it includes both males and females. The object is to deepen the spiritual life of the young people, older ones being admitted members, as well, and to awaken a more earnest endeavour in the study of the Bible. A part of the active members' "pledge card" reads thus: "I will make it the rule of my life to pray and to read the Bible every day, and to support my own Church in every way, espe- cially by attending all her Sunday and mid-week Services." A " Topic " card is given to each member, with a subject for every Sunday, to be prepared by Bible references, hence they all have something to read up in their spare moments, and to think about. Those who are unable to read, always have their verse or verses, committed to memory, and learn them by getting some one to read the verses, or passage bearing on the subjects, for them. Some of the older, as well as many of the young people, have said they " never read their Bible so much bel'ore in their lives ; it has been a great help to me." Although we have always had a Bible Class, the Christian Endeavour, in connection with it, has been the means of their manifesting a greater interest in the reading and study of God's Word. I know of no such organization at present more suited to meet the wants of the people here than the Christian E h( •75 Endeavour formed in connection with the Church only. I hope to form the same at Mutton Bay. The social element here seems to follow naturally as the outcome of Christian love, and their desire to help each other in their spiritual welfare and to carry out the motto of the C. E. " For Christ and the Church. " The most interesting event of the year was the second visit of the Bishop to this part of St. Clement's Mission in the month of July on " La Canadienne." As ever, his Lord- ship was most heartily welcomed at the different places. There were forty-five who received the Apostolic rite of Confirmation. His Lordship also visited the new and western part of St. Clement's Mission which was the first time an Anghcan Catholic Bishop has ever visited that part of the Canadian Labrador. His Lordship was ac- companied by his Chaplain, the Rev. James Hepburn, who is so well known and kindly remembered here as their iormer Missionary. It may be of inter 3st to those who have so kindly contributed to the building of the Church at Mutton Bay to have a financial statement of it, hence I send it as left by the Rev. L N. Kerr. We owe our thanks to the Church Helpers, who sent us the materials for making an Altar cloth for the Church at Mutton Bay. Baptisms, 21 ; Confirmations, 45 ; Marriages, 8 ; Burials, 6.

JOHN Indian Mission, The Rev. E. A. Dunn reports: — In the month of April of last yoar, since the Rev. H. C. Stuart had for some months found it impossible to visit this Mission regularly, he asked me to pay two visits for him, and then in June, on his definitely resigning his charge, the Bishop appointed me to carry on the work. During the year, 1 visited tho Mission sev^en times, re- maining, on each occasion, for two or three days. And in the month of July, in order that the Indians, who had come down to the Post to trade their furs, and who only stay for a few weeks, mi^ht have special attention, the Rev. C. C. Waller, who was in temporary charge of Val- cartier for the Summer, very kindly consented to go to Pointe Bleue for the inside of a fortnight and conduct a Mission. Altogether thirty-six Services were held during the year, of which ten were celebrations of the Holy Com- munion. In November, besides visiting Pointe Bleue, I went on to Chicoutimi, where, though the Protestant community is chiefly Presbyterian, yet we have two or three Church of England families. I was most kindly received by all here, and most hospitably entertained by Mr. David Blair, Manager of the Honorable E. J. Price's Mills, i held two Services, both of which were largely attended by Church people and Presbyterians alike. At Pointe Bleue I am preparing live or six Candidates for Confirmation, and there will no doubt be others amongst the Indians who come down to the Post for the Summer, it is hoped therefore that the Bishop will be able to visit the Mission next August to confirm these Candidates and to consecrate an additional piece of ground for a grave-yard. This Winter, owing to the kindness of Mrs. P. A. Shaw, of Quebec, whogave us a stove, and of the Quebec Church Helpers' Association, w^ho provided the fuel, we have been enabled to heat our little Church, and so have not been compelled to hold our Winter Services in a Private House instead of in a consecrated building. On various occasions I have stayed at five difterent houses in the Mission and have in every case been accorded a most hearty welcome ; but I must especially thank Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, of the Hudson Bay Post, and Mr. 77 ev. H. C. e to visit visits for ning his oik. mes, re- And in 'ho had ^o only ion, the of Val o go to nduct a during^ 7 Com- '^eiU on nujiity ^rc'h of i hero, lilair, Id two hurch idates others >r the ill be these ound !SS of fthe I the and ices iug. ases >d a Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Cummins, of S.

And now I cannot close my Report without a few words in regard to the Rev. H. C. f^luvrt, who, after seven years of unremitting attention, felt that he must resign his charge of this Mission. The Indians have nothing but words of praise and thankfulness for the work which Mr. Stuart has done amongst them. To him the Mission owes its origin, and to his perseverance has its success been due. We may indeed say that he has been a faithful shepherd of these " sheep scattered in the wilderness."

Holy Communion has been administered once a month and on the Chief Festivals of the Church, also on Thanksgiving Day. The average attendance has been larger than during any previous year. The Sunday School has prospered during the Summer months under the tuition of five teachers. A Christmas Tree was held at the Parsonage, when many hearts were made to rejoice. The children were further delighted by a pic-nic held on August 11th. I am pleased to report that a Branch ot the W. A. was formed last Jan- uary and has met once a month during the year at the residence of Dr. Hume, to whom we feel under great obli- gation The Leeds and St. Sylvester branches of the W. A. held two united meetings last September, one at the Parsonage, St Sylvester, and the other at the residence of Dr. Hume, Leeds, when they decided to send the work of each branch in one bale to Archdeacon Phair, Winnipeg. The Ladies' Aid met once a month, alternately with the W. A., giving their time and service for the good of the Church. On January 21st, the Bishop visited this Mission, when twelve candidates were confirmed, seven in Leeds, and five at Beattie's Settlement. Of these twelve, all five at Beat- tie's, and one in Leeds wer^} adults. A missionary meet- ing was held the day after Confirmation, when the Bishop gave us ail excellent mjssipii^ry address, The congrega^ 78 lion laments the loss of one of the oldest supporters of the (Church in James Aylwin, Esq., who passed away last November. He filled the office of Church -Warden for many years. A new stable and barn, more commodious and convenient than the old, have been built here. St. Sf/liwslcr. — Divine Service is held here once a fortnight and on the Chief Festivals ; and the Holy Communion celebrated once a month. Assisted by Mr. Watson, of B. C. L., durini^ his Summer vacation, I was enabled to j^ive this congregation a Service every Sunday during July and August, and a fortnightly service at St. Patrick's. Mr. Watson lived amongst the people, and his ministrations and kindly visits were highly appreciated by them. The Bishop visited this Congregation in January last. The "W. A. met during the Winter months and did good work. Both for our Harvest Thanksgiving Service, and at happy Christmas-tide, our little Church was appropriately and prettily decorated, thanks to kind and willing helpers. St. Giles. — Divine Service has been given here once a month, with the exception of July and August, when it was once a fortnight. Our members here are gradually decreasing in number ; and the few who still remain live widely apart. St. Matthew's, Beattie's Seltfement. — Three Services a month were held here up lo June 30th. Since then a Service every Sunday has been given. The Reverend Mr. Barton, of Kinnear's Mills, gives a fortnightly Service alternately with Leeds. A monthly celebration of the Holy Communion is held. The contract has been given for the erection of a Parish-room, and also for a stable ; but the work has not yet been begun. St. Luke's , Broughton — Divine Service was held here occasionally on a week-day. There are but three families left in this neighbourhood. The mines having been in operation during the Summer, three Services were held there. In future this congregation will be served by thi' Reverend Mr. Barton, who can reach them more easily, from Kinnear's Mills by rail, than I can from Leeds, over twenty miles of bad roads. During the months of July, August and September, three Services a month were given at St. Mark's, Kinnear's Mills. Services have been held in school- houses at Wilson's Mill and Nelson Road, once a month. These have bjen well attended and much appreciated. I J^ere wish to express my thank§ tp the Jteveiend J.

Scarth reports : — The important event in the history of Lennoxville this year is the enlargement and improvement of the Church. It is now fifty years since the Church of St. George was built, and at the Easter Vestry Meeting it was resolved to mark the Jubilee year by adding to it, on a plan which, when completed would be an entirely new^ building. Accordingly plans and specifications were procured from the Architects Messrs. Cliff & Rope, and the contract given to Messrs. G. Loomis & Sons, and work was commenced about the middle of Julv. Twehty-one years ago a fund was created called the New Church Fund, and allowed to accumulate, till this year it was sufficient to make the addition. But, as the work progressed, it was found that many thinas were wanted not at first thought of. So, through the liberality of the congregation, we were enabled to put down a new floor, to procure new seats, to lomodel the Chancel, and to 80 tint the walls. Individual members of the congregation gave handsome colored windows, the work of J. Sponce & Sons, Montreal, and, not least, the Misses MacKenzie gave a chime of bolls. The work is now all but completed and paid for, and we look forward with hearts full of thankful- ness to the formal re-opening and Dedication Services, which our Bishop has appointed for the 10th December. Wo hope that as many of the Clergy of the District as are able, will join with us in our Service of joy and praise. The sum collected for Church improvements, over and above the amount to the credit of the New Church Fund, is 1(288.50. The children, by entertainments, raised for fur- nishing the Vestry, &c., -f 32.0C. Miss' Isabel Ready, Miss Scarth, Miss C. McFadden and Miss Grrace Bartlett were the collectors for the Church Society. The subscriptions for various reasons are not as large as last year. The Guild has raised, for various parish objects, $175.60 ; out of this they have given the carpet for the Chancel and matting for the aisles. The "Woman's Auxiliary has coniri- buted #112.75 for Missionar3»»objecis ; and there have been attained through the offertory for other purposes, outside the Parish, .$112.32.

LEVIS AND NEW LIVERPOOL. The Rev. I. M. Thompson reports : — Levis. — Another year has passed away, and we have very little of change to report. The Services, both on Sundays and week-days, have been kept up without any variations and with an attendance about the same as L*8t year. The number of Communicants at Easter was larger thari upon any former occasion during my incumbency. Cottage Services were held, with more or less re^jularity, at Mr. Craig's School-House, at Mr. G-eorge Sample's, Hadlow, and at Mr. James King's, South Quebec. At all of these Services there was a good attendance of young people ; and mothers, 'yyho J^ad Uttje chiJ4rtJn, tl^at coul4 not be left long eiiougl^ 81 for them to attend Church, gladly availed themselves of these opportunities to meet for Divine Service. This year, so different from former years, we have net lost any of our people by removals ; but two were taken from us by death : the first, Lillian Morrett, a good and devoted Christian girl, very suddenly taken by a sharp attack of pneumonia and heart failure. It is not too much to say that the whole con- gregation sorrowed most sincerely for poor Lillian, and our deepest sympathy went out to the bereaved family. The second was Mrs. LeBroch, an aged lady, who died at Chaudiere. Mrs. LeBroch was a loyal member of the Church, and though little known, because of her blindness, outside of her intimate friends, yet was a good, devoted Christian woman. We trust that they are "bettor far" in the Paradise of God. The members of the Ladies' Guild have all worked diligently during the year, and have added 124.46 to their funds. They have also, at a cost of .|72.00, had one half of the Rectory re-shingled and fixed up in a very substantial manner. The Woman's Auxiliary has also been as faithful in its labours this year as on former years. $26.24 were realized by the devoted labours of its members besides other valuable contributions for missionary purposes. Our Society of Young Church Workers, has not been in operation since Easter, but before closing, handed the Wardens 19.66 towards Church ex- penses. We hope later on to reorganize this society under a new form. The Sunday School has been regularly and faithfully carried on by Mr. George Addie, our inde- fatigable superintendent, who has, as his able assistants, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Poston, Miss Amelia Hamel, and Miss Edna Thompson as teacher and organist. On the first Sunday of every month, 1 assist in the Sunday School, and hold a Children's Service, which is followed by cathechising, or an address on the lessons of the Christian year as given in our Collects, Epistles and Gospels. I cannot close this report without expressing my grati- tude to Miss Nuttie Pi ton, as organist, and to the members oi' the Choir, for their services so regularly given ; also to Messrs. King and Brown, Church- Wardens, for their de- voted efforts to keep the finances of the Parish in good con- dition, and to all in fact, who have aided us in any w^ay to forward the work of Christ and His Church. His Lordship the Bishop of the Diocese paid us two visits during the year for which we were very thankful. 6 82 New Liverpool. — The Mission of New Liverpool, like the Parish of Levis, has very little to report. We have not, during the year, lost any of our people by permanent re- movals or by death. Some have f?one for a part of the year, but will return in the Spring. This is indeed cause for thankfulness. The Services, as arranged four years ago, on my assuming charge of the Mission, have continued year by year without any interruption, with a very regular attendance during the Summer months ; but, owing to the distances many of the people live away from the Church, the attendance in Winter is somewhat irregular. In addi- tion to the regular Sunday Services, there have been occasional Services at Chandiere Curve, Chaudiere Mills, St, Henri, and Beiair. Last year, I had the pleasure of reporting the complete and thorough repairs made upon the Church, and the year before the erection of a comfort- able shed for the protection of the horses. I have now to report, that owing to the continued kindness and liberality of our devoted Church-Wardon, Henry Atkinson, Esq., a very substantial fence has been placed around the Parson- age grounds, so that now, this comfortable house and well fenced grounds are ready for an occupant as soon a^j ons can be obtained. Our Sunday School was in operation during the Summer months, and was very efficiently superintended by E. H. Wade, Esq., who was assisted by Miss Atkinson, as teacher and librarian, and Miss Mar}-^ Brown as teacher. His Lordship the Bishop of the Diocese paid us a visit in October, for which we were very thankful. I wish to conclude this report with a grateful acknow- ledgment of the many kindnesses received from all my people, but especially to convey my sincere thanks to Miss Ethel Atkinson, as organist, and the members of the Choir ; to our kind and considerate Church-Wardens, Henry Atkin- son, Esq., and H. B. Sample, Esq., to E. H. Wade, Esq., and the kind teachers who assiisted him, for their services so regularly and gratuitously given. Levis. — Baptisms, 3; Confirmed, 15; Marriages, 4; Burials, 4.

MILBY. The Rev. Professor "Wilkinson reports : — As the Clergyman in charge v>f this station, I have to report that, with the exception of one Sunday (19th April), when the floods made it impossible to get there, Services have regularly, as in the past, been taken this year at Milby. I have always during term gone myself unless prevented by duties connectt^d with the College or by Clerical work taken elsewhere. The Services have been well attended, the average attendance for the year having been, on Sun- days, twenty-eight, and on v/eek-days, nineteen. When I have been unable to go, the Services have sometimes been taken by Professors, but usually by Mr. E. N. R. Burns, a member of the Bishop's College Brotherhood of Readers, who, throughout the year, has rendered me very efficient assistance. Mr. Burns takes charge of the Sunday School, which he holds from 10 a.m. to 11. He has now fourteen scholars. During this hour it has been my practice to visit one or more of the parishioners. I have now, however, begun a Bible Class, and hope shortly to turn this into a Confirmation Class. During the Summer vacation I was absent in England, and the Sunday work was done by Mr, 88 Callis, one of our Readers. He also did some visiting*. Further accounts of both Mr. Burns' and Mr. Callis' work will be found in the report of the Bishop's College Brother- hood of Readers. On Wednesday, 23rd September, we held our Harvest Festival. Dr. Allnatt preached, and the Rev. W. Barton assisted, and the following students were kind enough to go out aud form a Choir : Messrs. Burns, Vial, Callis, Moor, Walker, Lowe, G-ustin and Dunn. The Service was a very hearty one and much appreciated by the people. During Lent, by giving addresses on two Wednesday evenings and on several occasions throughout the year, the Rev. Professor Parrock has kindly helped me. And during my absence in England, the Principal of Bishop's College administered the Holy Communion. I have visited the people in their homes as far as with the means at my com- mand was possible, not so often as I could have wished. We have lately taken down the brick-work of the furnace, which had fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair, and substituted galvanized iron, and at present a drain is being dug to carry away water which has hitherto collected in the cellar, and sometimes in the Spring threatened to put out the furnace.

MONTMORENCY, LAKE BEAUPORT, AND STONEHAM. The Rev. G. F. Hibbard reports : — Monimorency. — The congregation in this Mission is gradually increasing, and if the Cotton Company continue to extend their business and enlarge their mills, the future should be a bright one. For the first time, Montmorency has had Services on every Sunday during the Winter months this year, with every prospect of weekly Services being the rule for the future during the Winter as well as the Summer. Hitherto it has been considered impracticable to serve two places lying so far apart as Stoneham and Montmorency on one Sunday in stormy Winter days, but by a complicated ar- rangement in which a livery horse, the railroad and the 89 incumbent's horse all play a part, Stoncham and the " Falls " have each a Service on the same Sunday, and both in day light, which is imperative in the case of the former. A Bible Class has been opened by the Incumbent, and the Sunday School has recommenced its work with the kind aid of Mrs. Gosling. The Christmas Services were bright and well attended, the Church being exquisitely decorat- ed for the Festival. Lake Beaupori. — From the time of my first incumbency • of these three Missions, Montmorency, Lake Beauport and Stoneham, until November last, a period of over two years, the Burial Service was not read in any one of my three Churches. The first death to occur was that of Jessie Morton, the daughter of Mr. G-eorge Smith, of Lake Beau- port. Mrs. Morton had been married little more than a year and was the only surviving daughter in Mr. Smith's iamily. Her death was the cause of infinite sorrow, not only to her husband and family, but to all her old com- panions about the Lake, who remember affectionately her sweetness of disposition and devout Christian character. The Services have been conducted without a break dur- ing the past twelve months, and I am thankful to be able to record a good attendance and an increasing number of Communicants on the first Sunday of each month. The people are in earnest in their endeavours to keep our small congregation together, and even in the worst of weather many tramp miles of rough roads that they may not be absent from the Services. The Thanksgiving Festival is always a red letter day, and after a hearty Service with appropriate music, the whole congregation with their Clergyman enjoy an ample repast in an adjoining School- House. This year, on the eve of " Old Christmas, " all the children and many of the older people gathered in the large dining hall at Mr. A. Simons, and enjoyed a good supper together, which was followed by a Christmas Tree, upon which were presents for every child, and some very handsome ones, which were the gift of the congregation to Mrs. Hibbard and myself and our little son. Stoneham. — The people here have aroused themselves to the needs of their Church, and under the energetic and able leadership of Mr. Thos. Brown, one of the Wardens, have renovated a large part of the grave-yard surrounding the Church and are contemplating doing more in the Spring. A grant of ten dollars was generously sent us from 90 the Church Helpers' Association. On Christmas eve one of the oldest members of our congregation, Mr. John Wright, met with a sad accident, which has since resulted in his death. He was badly frost bitten while returning home from a neigbour's house. The number of Communi- cants increases at the monthly Celebrations. In this Mis- sion as well as Lake Beauport and Montmorency, the Services were taken, during my absence- in Cacouna, by Mr. Vial, of Bishop's College, Lennoxville, who made himself justly popular during his short stay among the people.

The Rev. E. B. Husband reports : — The usual Services have been held during the past year at New^ Carlisle, Paspebiac and Hopetown, with one or two exceptions, and I trust with benefit to the congregations. I have noticed with thankfulness greater reverence and more heartiness, especially at the Holy Communion, al- though at the latter I long to see a more regular attendance. The Sunday Schools have been regularly held. In the Fall, many of our teachers in New Carlisle left, and their places have been difficult to hU. Teachers' Meetings were held once a w^eek ; but not being, I am sorry to say, well attended, I have arranged for a Wednesday Evening Ser- vice, with instruction on the Sunday's lesson, thus hoping to secure the attendance of all. I have also begun a class for older scholars in the Vestry on thrae Sundays in the month. This will necessitate the Services in future being at 10 a m. and 7 p.m. alternately. At Paspebiac, the Sun- day ' )ol has been carried on partly by myself and Mrs. Hus uid, assisted by Miss Bisson and Miss Eva LeGallais. Miss Annie Smith has also conducted a Sunday School in the Upper School-House, New Carlisle. 01 in September the Lord Bishop confirmed eleven Candi- dates at New Carlisle, and addressed the Sunday School. He also preached very helpful Sermons at Paspebiac and Hopetown. As to Church building, this has made considerable pro< ,re8s in New Carlisle. The spire has been erected, the chimneys ornamented by galvanized iron casings ; the Church re-seated, through contributions of friends in Eng- land and ol8ewh3re ; and the new Font placed in position. "We hope in im^ Spring to complete the walls of the interior, and have the Church ready for consecration at the Bishop's next visit. In July a very successful Sale of Work was held in the Town Hall, realizing $180, and a Tea and Auction in Oc- tober, by which |50 was raised. Death has removed many from our midst, the most up- expected being that of George Romeril, general manager for Chas. Robin, Collas & Co. In him the Church at Pas- pebiac has lost a sincere and firm friend. Our thanks are due to our organists. Miss E. Murison, Miss Eva LeGallais and Miss Smith, to the Choirs, Sunday School teachers, Church Society collectors, and Church- Wardens, for their faithful services, and from myself to many for kindnesses received.

One cannot help being grieved, however, that the large majority of those who have been confirmed deny themselves this means of grace The Services have been kept up at the live Stations in the Mission, with special Services during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Professor Wilkinson, of Bishop's Col- lege, spent^Easter Day in the Mission, and with his kind assistance we were able to have four Services and two Celebration of the Holy Communion on that day. Since the beginning of the year I have had four services every alter- nate Sunday, owing to the opening of a Service in Sawyer- vilJe. This Service has been well attended and is, I think, appreciated. The repairs made to Christ's Church, Island Brook, have been finished, and the reopening Service was held on the 16th of January. The Rev. E. K. Wilson was the preacher. We have a seemly and comfortable place of workship here now. 1 am glad to be able to report the completion of the Par- sonagej; House at Sawyerville, and to express my appre- ciation and gratitude for the kind help which has made this completion possible. The response given by the people of the Mission to the demands of the Parsonage Fund has been on the whole good, in some cases exception- ally good, and the financial condition of the work is healthy. Of course, it was only through the generosity of the kind people of Quebec and elsewhere that it was pos- sible to meet the expense of building. In Quebec, through the kindness of the Rev. E. A. Dunn, my appeal for assist- ance was especially successful, and the fund increased by such subscriptions as : Hon. E. J. Price $100.00, Mr. Robert Hamilton $50.00, Church Helpers |50.00, Bishop of Quebec $26.00, etc. The total cost comes up to $1,600.00, and by the time we can get our grant from the General Fund, we hope to have security for the whole amount, and to hand the property over to the Church Society, free of all encumbrance. The Building Committee, consisting of Messrs. Geo. W. L. French, C. H. Loveland and Peter Coombs, was especially diligent in furthering the work, and Mr. Richard Elliott in collecting for it. The furnace was put in by the Ladies' Guilds of Randboro' and Island Brook. MRHM 93 Before last Winter had come, the people of the Mission presented me with a beautiful fur coat, which makes the long cold drives comfortable. For this generous kindness, as well as many others, I wish to record my siucere,thanks. My willing Lay-Reader, Mr. A. F. Bowen, has on two occasions taken the Sunday duty in the Mission during^iny absence. His services are much appreciated. The principal hindrance to systematic work here is found in the scattered nature of the Mission, and the diffi- culty, owing to distance, storm or bad roads, in gathering the people for regular Services, or organized teaching. While we recognize this hindrance, it must not be magnified, but in some way, to some extent at least, overcome, and jwe must always remember the promise of the Saviour's pre- sence where two or three are gathered together in His Name.

The Rev. N. M. Bayne reports : — Si. Matthew's, Peninsula. — Nothing striking or unusual has marked the Church's life here during the past year. The Sunday Services have been held very regularly with well attended week-day Services during Lent, fortnightly during the rest of the year, and on Saints' days when pos- sible. Quietly and seriously the religious life and obser- vances of the congregation have gone on. The result is, I believe, that spirituality is being deepened in the case of many, which is a reason for thankfulness ; although, on the other hand, it must be acknowledged that indifference has been manifested by some, which causes one to pray for better things. The Mission is small, and its territory so definitely limited, that such a thing as adding any new field of work is impossible. The existing branches of work have been well sustained, however. The Sunday School continues to do good work, and thoroughly sound work, under Mr. W. Miller, jnr., and his three faithful helpers, Lewis Ascah, Lewis Annett and Miss Schilling. The num- 94 ber of children in att^mdance increased during the Summer^ but there are yet others who should attend, and that regu- larly, but do not. Our Choir, at one time excellent, has suffered by reason of marriages and removals ; but the re- maining members do their best, and to them and their ever faithful|and able leader and organist, Mrs. Lewis Annett,^ the congregation is under much obligation. The Ladies*^ Guild continues to bo an exceedingly useful organization ; so helpful indeed, that I cannot imagine how we could have built the Parsonage, or how we shall complete the Church here without it. Last February, by means of a Sale of Fancy Work and subsequent Entertainment, they raised and handed me $45.00 towards the completion of a kitchen attached to the Parsonage. Since then they have given me several small sums. If the total amount raised does not equarthe results of the previous two years, to their praise be' it said, it is due to lack of opportunity and not of will- ingness or^zeal. The Lord Bishop visited this congrega- tion on the 7th of August and confirmed two young people. His Lordship's Address upon " Preparation for receiving the Lord's Supper, the nature and great need of such pre- paration" waslmost helpful. A large proportion of those present partooK of the Holy Communion. The average number of Communicants is 34; allowing for removals, this is a slight increase. St.lPeter^s, Little Gasp4. — In this congregation also I am confident that with God's blessing a true growth is being made. It is not especially marked by larger numbers at- tending* Divine worship, but rather by increased earnest- ness, and perseverance in the use of the Church's means of grace.| The Lord Bishop visited this part of the Mission on the 6th of August, when eleven Candidates presented themselves for Confirmation. The majority of these were adult8,*two being very aged. It was a most impressive ceremony, and|his Lordship's earnest words then spoken have not been forgotten, and I trtist will never be forgotten by any who' heard them. As yet we have not been able to have a Sunday School here during the Winter. i\\ the Summer a goodly number were instructed by Mrs. Bart- lett, Mrs. Lemaistre and Miss Gavey. I also conducted a Bible^Classifor larger scholars. The work in this school should be improved by being carried on with more system. Public worship in this Church has become much brighter and heartier by reason of improvement in the Choir ; and 95 no little credit is due to both organist and singers. In February a Social was held at Grand Greve, in a building which Mr. Gavey always kindly allows the congregation to use. Although the worst storm of the Winter raged, an astonishingly large number attended. The following evening the entertainment was repeated ; $45.00 in all was realized, half of which went to the Parsonage Fund, and half towards repairing the Church. Before closing this report, I should state that I continue to visit Fox River and Fame Point, periodically, as heretofore. Reviewing the life of the Mission during the past twelve months, and comparing it with that of preceding years, I feel that, whilst we cannot see extraordinary progress in any direc- tion, we have abundant cause ior thankfulness and courage. We have plans for the coming years which we fondly hope may minister to God's greater glory ; but it were better to wait until we can speak of results, if He permits us so to do.

The Rev. H. S. Fuller reports :— My report of this year will, as no report was sent in Jan- uary last, cover the whole time of our presence in this Mission, or period which has elapsed from May 12th, 1895. During this time we have lost about twenty-six persons from our congregation at Portneuf by removals, some being members of the Church, and others outsiders kindly dis- posed to the Church, who were present with great regular- ity at our Services. By these means we have lost financi- ally $26.00 in our Sunday collections, a larger sum in our assessment money, which leaves us for the present in a very crippled condition. At Halesborough the drought of last Summer has left our people on the light lands, very indifferently placed in the 96 matter of farm returns, while prices of produce ruling low in the market, makes matters even more trying for them ; however, at this place assessment will be met. At Portnenf, a re-adjustment of assessment will be necessary, especially as we have to face a heavy burden, in the way of repairs pressingly called for. At Halesborough, we have put a new fence about the grave-yard, the people furnishing timber and work, some families giving as much as five or six days' work in the erection, and $2 00 to $3.00 in materials. The work has been done with great thoroughness. I have the pleasure of re- porting a most excellent fence on throe sides of the Church- yard, and material in hand toward the fourth. Other necessaries such, as nails, staples, wire netting, etc, were furnished by money collected by Mr. Thos. Marshall, as reported last year. Timbers in the Church tower were also cut out, and some new ones substituted, as the spire was in danger of collapse. Fifty cents worth of work on the roof of the tower at the proper time would have saved more than $50.00 of work, as a corner rebuilt in the time of my predecessor owed its destruction to the same cause as the timbers of the tower. The interior of the Church, and fourth side of the fence we hope — all being well — to take in hand next summer. In Portneuf the side walk, which has to be maintainea by the congregation, was dug out of mud and road rounded up a year ago. The roof of the house, which leaked every where, so that we had to distribute pans to catch water, was reshingled on the one side, the other side patched, and the stable, which was tottering to its fall, was raised to its proper level upon a more solid foundation, and new sills and flooring introduced — in fact thoroughly repaired and remodelled. The verandah of the Parsonage had also to be reconstructed, while the buttresses of the Church, the interior timbers of which were rotted, were repaired and made secure against the weather by a properly arranged covering of metal shingles. In all these matters, as in all else which has promoted the comfort of the Clergyman, or the well-being of the people, our excellent Church- Wardens, Mr. li. Sewell and Mr. Chas. Dodd, have been forward to do their part. The house-to-house collections this year are less than last year, as some of our hitherto most liberal subscribers, amongst them Mr. and Mrs. Greenough, have personally 97 borne some of the current expenses of the Church, which, as stated above, have been very heavy this year for a small congregation. I have to acknowledge great kindness in Parochial affairs from Mr. and Mrs. Greenough and Mr. Miller, and an ex- cellent temper and disposition evinced by all taking part in Church affairs.

The Rev. J. Hepburn reports: — The past year has been one of great encouragement and comfort. The report of last year spoke of an attempt to reduce the debt on the Church by $1,000 within a period of two years. The larger sums promised were payable when the whole sum was subscribed. More than half has been paid in, and the balance will probably be in hand be- fore the year is ended. And this represents only a part of the financial progress, for at Easter the Wardens' report showed that in different ways the indebtedness of the Par- ish had been reduced $1,000.00. This fact speaks eloquent- ly of the general well-being of the Parish ; and too much praise cannot be given to the Wardens for their splendid service. As Rector of the Parish, I owe them more than I can say for their efficient labours, rendered in so quiet and pleasant a manner, and for their very great and constant kindness to myself. Strong efforts put forth for the relief of the Parish have not lessened, as the appended statement will show. The contributions to outside objects, for a Country Parish, #452.00, is a gratifying offering. One cannot but hope from such tokens of good-will and 98 interest that there is improvement in the condition of the people, and this is ultimately the one reason for our pre- sence in the field ; but of this one had better say little be- yond expressing thankfulness for opportunities of useful- ness, and for kind acknowledgments of help given- There have been a good many pleasing variations in the ordinary Services of the year. In addition to those called for by the Church's seasons, special Services have been held for different Societies in thi3 Town, and that for the Sons of England, on the Queen's Birth Day, is deserving of special notice. On these occasions the Church has been more than full, and the Services have been very bright and hearty. The visit of Archdeacon Tims, of Calgary, was memora- ble for the great interest he awakened in his work among the Indians, one gentleman present volunteering to defray the expen.ses of a boy's education for the year, and the ladies undertaking to collect a good sum for his assistance. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese was able to give us one of his excellent lectures on Church History in Lent, and the offering was sent to the Armenians. His visit for Con- firmation on June 14th was a great delight to the Parish, and a special delight to half a dozen old people, unable to attend the Service, upon whom he called, and with whom he had a few words of exhortation and prayer, as he was driving down to us from Windsor Mills. There was a good class of Candidates (18), and the preponderance of men of full age and stature was a very pleasant feature. The whole Service was deeply affecting and impressive. The Sunday School Conferpince for the District was con- vened here for the day, and every Clergyman of the section was present. We were favoured with many visitors from the bordering Parishes ; and the day was most profitable. The Archdeacon of the Diocese was prevented by sickness ; his absence was much deplored. The Evening Meeting was favoured by an Address by Canon Thorneloe, (now Bishop-elect of Algoma). It is well worth recording that the discussions of the day were shared in by the ladies and greatly helped thereby. I had another delightful holiday with the Bishop on the Labrador Coast for a month, when my duty was taken by the ever ready Dr. Adams, of Lennoxville, and two Lay Readers, Mr.'Wilcocks and Judge Tait, of Montreal. To these gentlemen I owe my hearty thanks. ►f the pre- 99 Baptisms— (Infants 21, adults 1), 22 ; Burials, 8.

Dioeemn oAyccl,000 of in- debtedness has been wiped out during the three years last past. But the kindness of our Summer friends did not end with the efforts already mentioned ; for, in addition to as- sisting us somewhat more bountifully than usual towards meeting our assessment, they also provided this year a sum of money which, by their own special instruction, was used in painting the Parsonage— a work which was really need- ed. Delay in prosecuting it would, ere long, have resulted in serious detriment to the property. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese stopped at Rimouski, on his return from Labrador and Gaspe, on August 20th, and drove to Father Point, where he confirmed Mrs, McWill- iam, 76 years of age, and her son — who is known and be- loved of all in this district. On the following Sunday, his Lordship administered Confirmation, in the old Church here, to two boys. There should have been several other Candidates ; but they were hindered at the last moment from presenting themselves by various unforeseen causes. The work of the "Woman's Auxiliary and Guild continues as usual ; as does that of the Sunday School, the children of which, though few in number, raised a considerable sum (bearing in mind that they are neither numerous nor wealthy) for Indian Schools by their offerings during Lent. On Christmas eve a gift-bearing tree was provided for them, by the kindness and energy of some of the ladies of the Mission, which surprised all by its magnitude and beauty. We fortunately still retain the valuable services of our vol- untary organist, Miss Jessie Hill ; while the Sunday School owes everything to Mrs. LeBrocq. We have again, as is unfortunately usually the case, to chronicle the loss — not of individuals as last year, but of a whole family (by removal to Montreal), who were always helpful in every Church work. On the other hand we have made the somewhat unusual gain of another family who have come from the Province of New Brunswick to reside here. I should have mentioned that Services have been held in Chicoutimi by the Rev. E. A. Dunn of Quebec since my last visit there. Mr. Dunn, kindly purposes ^ivin^ the 101 people similar privileges occasionally in the future, when he visits Lake St. John ; and they, we feel sure, will ap- preciate and be grateful for the same. This report must be despatched at once, and I have not the means just at hand at the moment of giving details of the contributions from the Mission for the year ; but I know that the total is more than $1,000— a large sum in- deed for this Misson in these days.

Two Services at the Ohurch, and one at the Barachois School- House, have been held each week. Wo now have, ordin- arily, two celebrations of Holy Communion, instead of one, each month (one of them, during the milder weather being at 8 o'clock), besides those of the greater Festivals. I am sorry to say that the weather, both in Lent and Advent of the past year, was more than usually unfavour- able, and considerably affected the attendance at the week- day Services of those seasons, which were not as successful as they generally are. Another cause, too, hindered our usual winter work. This was an outbreak of Diphtheria, which caused a serious affliction to one family, and, from the fear of an epidemic, kept people at home a good deal, and prevented work that otherwise would have been •undertaken. On this account, especially, the usual Bible Class at the Parsonage was not held. One was kept up, however, for a part of the Winter, at the Barachois School- House, where the attendance and interest shown was highly satisfactory. At Easter we were particularly unfortunate as regards weather. For on Good Friday the heaviest snow storm of the Winter began, and lasted till Sunday, making the roads almost impassable ; so that only about a dozon people (all males on snow-shoes) attended the Easter Service. As an attempt at compensation, 1 tried a repetition of the Festival Services, with two celebrations, on the Octave of Easter ; but, by that time, the roads had begun to break up, and the success was not great, though fairly good. ' In spite of the drawbacks alluded to, however, there have been many pleasant and cheering things connected r*' 108 ^ith the year's work.

The Rev. H. A. Brooko reports : — When I look back over the work of the past year in the Mission of Scotstown, I feel that we have a great deal to be thankful for to Almighty God. There appear to be many external signs of thn lively interest which our people are taking in the welfare of our Church, when we find people are willing to put their hands more deeply into their pockets to meet the pressing needs and demands of the Church, it seems to be an unmistakable proof that their hearts are indeed touched, with an earnest desire to do their utmost for the establishment of Christ's kingdom up- on earth. The Mission of Scotstown has baen in existence three years, and this year it has been accepted as a permanent Mission in the Diocese. During the three years past a Par- sonage and two Churches have been built and paid for. The assessments have been regularly met. This, I think, is evidence enough to show the wisdom of Archdeacon Roe, when three years ago he so earnestly pleaded with the Diocesan Board to have Scotstown set off as a trial Mission for three years. The two great events of the past year have been : 1st, the setting off of Agnes and Lake Megantic as a 104 separate Mission, and 2ndly, the building of the now Ghnrch at Canterbury. ScotsUnan. — Church affairs have gone on much as usual here. Services have been regularly held every Sunday and fairly well attended. The Sunday School has been kept up with the same interest as ever. We have to lament the loss of several of our best Church families through removal to other parts. But still our small congregation works well tci^ether, and the result so far has been satisfactory. Idngwick. — Our new Church at Lingwick was consecrat- ed on the 18th of December, 1895, and it has been acknowl- edged hy all a great blessing to the place. Our congrega- tion has increased, and on all sides there are abundant manifestations of the great interest taken in our Church. The Sunday School is fairly well attended, and is well managed by Mr. James Fennoyer, the Superintendent. The Ladies' Guild has been reorganized and are working hard to buy a bell for the Church next Spring. Canterbury. — Of course all interest here is centered on the new Church which, D. V., is to be consecrated on the 11th of December. The Church will cost about 1 1 ,050.00, and of that sum the people have subscribed about $600.00, which is a large sum under the circumstances, and we have to thank our devoted Church people outside the Mission for the balance of the sum required to complete the Church for consecration. The people here for the past forty years worshipped in an old School-House, and for many years have hoped and wished for a Church, and now their hopes are crowned by the presence in their midst, of as neat a country Church as one could wish to see, erected by their own self-denying efforts, for the worship and to the Glory of God. It is indeed a great relief to the Incumbent of Scotstown to have Agnes set apart as a separate Mission, situated as it is, twenty-six miles from Scotstown, with a large area of country around, thinly populated with Church people, it was almost impossible to minister in both places with any satisfactory result. The people of Agnes offered an assess- ment of $300.00, which offer the Lord Bishop accepted, and now they are enjoying the ministrations of the Rev. J. N. Hunter, who formerly worked as Lay Header in the same Mission with great success. The above is a brief summary of the work in the Mis- sion of Scotstown, and I feel that we may indeed thank nrch 105 Almighty Grod for having so abundantly blessed our la- bours during the past year, and to Him he all the praise and glory forever.

Dr. Thorneloo reports : — It is with mingled feelings of sorrow and thankfulness that I address myself to the task of preparing my last re- port as Rector of the Parish of Sherbrooke, where I have lived and laboured for the past eleven years ; sorrow, be- cause of the severing of ties of friendship and afiection which have grown very strong ; thankfulness, because of the many blessings which God has vouchsafed me in my work. The Parish Registers show that during the past eleven years, 554 persons have been baptized, 133 couples have been married ; there have been 340 burials, and 364 persons have been confirmed. During the saine period, $69,490.44 have been raised in the aggregate for Church purposes, of which sum #14,475.87 have been contributed for purposes outside the Parish. A Service has been established and a congregation aver- aging from sixty to seventy gathered in East Sherbrooke. A site, costing $500.00, has been acquired. A Church, cost- ing about $2,200.00, and a Parish Room or School-House, costing $800.00, have been built. All these properties have been paid for in full, thus adding about $3,500.00 to the capital account of the Parish. A new St. Peter's Church Fund has been created and now reaches the figure of $8,173.35 actually in hana, not to speak of certain sub- scriptions yet to be paid. An Endowment Fund has also been begun, but only amounts at present to $237.00. The Mission work of the Parish has been increased dur- ing the same period, there being now (1) East Sherbrooke, (2) Brompton Line, (3) Magog Road, and (4) the Page School-House, in all four centres of missionary operation, in 106 addition to the Parish Church of St. Peter. All this re- presents an increase of expenditure to the extent of about 1850.00 over what was spent annually for working the Parish in 1885. This increase includes (1) the stipend of the Curate who now lives in East Sherbrooke and has special charge of the Church of the Advent ; (2) the expenses of the Missions ; (3) certain advances in salaries, e. g., to the Or- ganist and Sexton at St. Peter's. During the same period of eleven years, while the old and splendid organization of womv.»i workers known as St. Peter's Gruild, has continued its noble work, holding its own as the chief organization of the Parish, various new societies have been established, among which the Woman's Auxiliary, the G-irls' Friendly Society, the District Visitors and the Christmas Club have done excellent work, and give promise of permanence. And I am not without hope that certain other organizations, for example the Boys' Brigade and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, will yet take deeper root and become fruitful in good. The Sunday School work morever has decidedly improved both in quantity and quality. There are now two Sunday Schools in the city, one at each Church and two in the country. All told about three hundred children are enrolled. Since 1888 Holy Communion has been celebrated in St. Peter's Church every Sunday and Holy Day, and for the past two years in the Church of the Advent fortnightly. Morning and Evening Prayer have been said since 1888 in St. Peter's daily. During the past two years the Rector has published a monthly sheet of Parish notes and informa- tion which has been distributed through the pews free of charge. It is not surprising perhaps that in all that work, and the mutual intercourse involved in it, both place and people have been very dear to the Rector's heart, and that he feels both sad at the thought of removal and thankful for the happy years vouchsafed him. Some discouragements there have been and are still in the Parish. (1.) The population fluctuates. Many Church people have removed from Sherbrooke in the past few years. Comparatively few have entered it. The congre- gations therefore have not grown as they would otherwise have done. (2. The finances of the Parish have not im- proved as could have been desired. At times, especially of late, it has not been easy to meet the increased expenditure, partly because of depression in the trade and partly because lasasggBBMi 107 the Or- tnany older families, trained in liberal giving, have been broken up or lost by removal. But there are encourage- ments also. (1.) The attendance at Holy Communion, es- pecially at faster, has noticeably improved. In 1885 the Oommanicants on Easter Day numbered in all one hundred and ninety-six. Last Easter Day they numbered three hundred and forty-six. (2), The work in East Sherbrooke has steadily, though slowly progressed, till now there is reason to hope that it will not be long before it will be safe to attempt the more complete organization of the work, whereby East Sherbrooke and the oatmissions would be- come a separate Mission, still looking to the older Church for partial support, but to a large extent free and self-gov- erning. The Rector ol St. Peter's would then confine his labours more particularly to the older part of the City, which sorely needs closer attention. (3.) Again, the gradual but sure growth of the new Church Fund gives promise of a new and handsome St. Peter's, which will be at once more worthy of the place and congregation, and a centre of Ohurchly influence for the whole District. No doubt it will be some time before this promise is realized. But there is hope that when the day comes for building the Parish will be ready. (4.) And then, while here as else- where, indifference exists, there is a general and deep root- ed devotion to the Church, and an earnest body of men and women ready in emergencies to take up the Master's work with alacrity and zeal. At this time, when the an- nouncement of the Rector's approaching removal has in- flamed these feelings, there are many signs of the strong hold the Church has upon the hearts of her people. For all this the Rector thanks God ! At St. Peler^s, during the past year, we have had the pri- vilege of occasional official and other visits from our Bishop and of much valuable help from neighbouring Clergy, es- pecially from the Clergy of Lenuoxville. Large and enthusiastic meetings of the Lay Helpers' Association were held at St. Peter's on 27th October last, at which Reports and Papers were read, and much interest was awakened. Ninety-nine persons (thirty-two males and sixty-seven females) have engaged in Church work, more or less regularly, through the year. The Church Day School for girls continues its excellent work with Miss Cowling as teacher. There have been twenty-four pupils. At the Church of the Advent Rev. H. E. Wright is doing 108 good and solid work. Social gatherings have been held from time to time, and the children have been broaght to* gether by Mrs. Wright, and are being taught to work for the Church. There has been a marked improvement in their attendance at the Services. A Confirmation, the first ever held in this Church, took place in December last. Four Candidates were presented. Mr. Eawlings is giving the Church of the Advent a beau* tiful East Window of Stained G-lass. The Vestry and Guild Boom have been finished and paid for by the exertions of the ladies, and prove a great benefit and convenience. The Gibb's Home for girls has this year been permanent- ly closed ; the work being removed to Niagara on the Lake. The Clergy hereby recognize with gratitude the valuable help of various laymen in Lay Reading, &c. Baptisms, 45 ; Confirmed, 28 ; Marriages, 12 ; Burials, 27. FiNANOiAii Statement.

Fothergill reports : — Last August the Bishop visited the Mission and confirm- ed five Candidates, one at Port Daniel and four at Shiga- wake. But the chief event which marked his Lordship's visit was the Consecration of St. Philip's Church and Burying-g round at L'Anst- aux Gascons. For many years the Church remained unfinished, and, in consequence, the Consecration had been neglected. The collection at the Service of Consecration was set aside towards a fund for purchasing a bell, which is greatly needed. During the Summer months the Venerable Archdeacon Roe took charge of L'Anse aux Gascons, relieving the In- A 109 cumbent considerably, and giving^ the people the privilege of Services every Sunday. Archdeacon Roe took great in- terest in the children, catechising them every Sunday, and helping greatly in increasing interest in Sunday School work. We also had a visit from Canon Thorneloe, who preached most helpful Sermons in L'Anse aux Gascons, Fort Daniel and Shigawake. The Church at Newport has been enriched by several gifts. A beautiful red Altar Cloth, the work of St. Mat- thew's Guild, e'resented by Mr. and Mrs. Elias LeMar- quand ; a Prayei Desk given by Mr. Conway, of Perc§ ; a Font given by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest LeMarquand, and a large Bible for the Lectern by Mr. Eli Romeril. At Shigawake a Concert was held in February, the re- sults of which were given towards ihe completion of the Church Hall. The Hall has been ceiled throughout, which has added greatly to its appearance and comfort. With some of the boards remaining over from the Hall, two members of the congregation very kindly laid a double floor in the hall of the Parsonage, which made a wonderful difference in our comfort during the cold weather. At Port Daniel the ladies held a very successful Sale of Work in July, with the proceeds of which it is proposed to purchase much needed new seats for the Church. At Shigawake a branch of the Woman's Auxiliary has been formed. The meetings have been well attended and a great deal of interest shown in the work ; and a good sized parcel was sent off" to Algoma in November. During the early part of the Winter, the Mission suffered greatly from sickness, and several of the most steadfast of our Church people were removed from our midst. On the 23rd of November 1 was elected by the Church Society to the Parish of Drummondville, and it was with very real sorrow that T felt it my duty to accept the call to new work. As I look back over tie three years of my Incum- bency, while there have been of course some discourage- ments and disappointments, and I am conscious of many mistakes and neglects on my own part, yet 1 have reason to think that they have not been altogether unfruitful in good. They have been very happy years indeed, and it would be impossible for me to narrate the many acts of kindness which have been shown both to my wife and my- self I have always met with a kindly hospitality in the various parts of the Mission, and many have been the 110 pfifts that we have received ; hay, potatoes, &c,, from peo- ple in Shi^awake ; oats, especially a plentiful supply last Easter, from the people of Fort Daniel. And then, at the last, many of the men of Shigawake helped us greatly in packing up and carting the furniture, &c., free of all charge, over thirteen miles of dreadful roads. In conclusion I would take the opportunity of thanking the Church- Wardens of the several Churches of the Mis- sion, the Organists, members of the Choir, and all others who, whether in Sunday School or Guild, have assisted in the work of the Church. STANSTEAD AND BEEBE PLAIN. The Rev. W. T. Forsyth reports :— Christ Churah, Slanstead Plain. — The regular routine of Church work and Services has been maintained with un- broken regularity during the past year. The congrega- tions have maintained nearly the same average as during the past two or three years. Our comparatively poor and small congregation has found it a severe struggle to continue on their self-supporting basis. A chapter of the St. Andrew's Brotherhood was organized in connection with C^hrist Church in January 1896. At present, it numbers fourteen members. It has succeeded in doing good work for the Church during the past year. Its members have under- taken the work of ushering in Church, as well as assisting in Mission Servises. At the fortnightly meetings, the Rec- tor is at present giving a series of instructions on the Prayer Book. The Woman's Auxiliary and the Ladies' Guild have also carried on their usual w^ork. A pair of handsome brass Altar candlesticks have been presented to the Church in memory of Miss Bessie Meigs, for many years one of our most devoted communicants. Mr. Duncalf has been appointed Lay Reader and renders most welcome aid in conducting the Services. By the aid of kind friends, mostly in Quebec, the Rectory has been renovated both within and without. All Saints^ Church, Beebe Plain. — This Church has been, during the past year, under the charge of Rev. H. S. Harte, whom we were sorry to lose from our midst, when he assumed, in November, the charge of the Mission of S. George's, Beauce. During the past year, there have been maintained two Services each Sunday, beside one Service Ill durinsr the week, and two celebrations of Holy Com- munion each month. By Mr. Harte's strenuous exertions, several repairs have been made to the Church Fabric ; amongst these may be mentioned a new furnace, a new East Window and several Altar and Lectern Frontals. The exterior has received a new coat of paint. The Sunday School has also had soveral new scholars added to the roll. The Bishop of the Diocese paid a visit to this Church on Sunday, November 1st, when two Candidates were con- firmed. The experience of Mr, Harte's residence at Beebe Plain confirms the wisdom and advisability of having a resident Clergyman in that place, if the Church is to be permanently and durably established in this vicinity. The business depression of the past few months, and the re- moval of many of our people, have hampered the work of the Church, and made it impossible to raise for the pre- sent the amount promised for the support of a resident Clergyman. "We hope, by the help of a Student from Bishop's College, to continue the two Sunday Services during the "Winter months. Marlow — The Services at Marlow School-House have been held every alternate Sunday afternoon. The congregations have been fair, and during the Summer months, very good. The congregation is becoming a more settled one, and the Services assuming a more churchly character. The two im- portant events of the year have been the visit of the Bishop for an Afternoon Service on Sunday, November 1st, when, there was a very large congregation, and the first Baptismal Service held in this building. JuMs Mills. — Fortnightly Services have been held at Judd's Mills on Tuesday evenings. The congregations have maintained a fair average, but the difficulty here is to bring the people to a sense of the Church's teaching con- cerning her position, and the absolute need of the Sac- raments for the spiritual life. Moulton. — The Services at the Moulton School-House were kept up the greater part of the year with rather small attendance. They have been discontinued for a while, but we hope to resume them in the not distant future. The members of the St. Andrew's Brotherhood organized, and have helped me to maintain, during the past five months, a fortnightly Service in various houses in the Hartley neighbourhood with varying attendance. Although the growth and progress of the Church's work 112 in this Parish has not been perhaps as marked as in some past years, yet there have not been wantinir signs of progress and marks of encouragement which load us to believe that there is a great future for the Church in this noighbourood.

Harte reports : — Having entered upon my duties as Incumbent of this Mission so late in the year, I am not in a position to give any lengthy report of the work of the past twelve months, suffice it to say that the usual Services have been held and the ordinary work of the Mission quietly carried on. The removal of my predecessor, the Rev. T. Rudd. from the Incumbency of the Mission, called forth an almost uni- versal expression of sorrow, that such kindly ties as those which bound Priest and people together for over two years had to be sundered. The presentation to him of a valuable gold watch on the 25th of October was a tangible means of voicing the feelings of his parishioners tow^ards him. Since assuming charge of the work of the Church, I have made some alterations in the routine of Services, which I trust will be productive of much good. I now give Cum- berland a weekly instead of a fortnightly Service, Kennebec a fortnightly instead of an occasional Sunday Service, and I have opened up, what I trust will be a permanent w^ork, at Moose River, Maine, by inaugurating a regular monthly Service there. The need of a Parsonage being very much felt, we are taking steps to build one on the Glebe at S.[ George. -^Ma- terial for the frame is being got ready this Winter, and we trust that by beginning work on the structure early in the Spring, to have the same completed before the Winter of 189Y-8. Baptisms, 9 ; Marriage, 1 ; Burials, 2. 118 THREE RIVERS. The Rev. H. C. Stuart reports : — During the year the usual Services of the Church have continued without change or intermission. The attend* ance at all the Services has been fairly good. The Anglicans of this part of the Diocese are few in number, and certainly their ranks are steadily decreasing. Every year during the past decade has been marked by the re- moval from the Parish of some of the warmest friends of the Church. This year has seen the departure of three families of our best workers and helpers. I have also to record the death of Mrs. H. G. Fearon, one of our oldest residents and staunchest supporters; her loss will be deeply felt, a void made in our numbers that cannot easily be filled. The Church at Three Rivers owes a debt of gratitude to this worthy lady, her brother and sister, which can never be repaid, for the substantial aid they have always so cheerfully rendered. Our numbers have now decreased to twenty families, and it can be readily under- stood that, as regards the financial aspect of the Parish, we find it a difficult matter to keep our heads above water, without neglecting the important works we have long had in hand, and which are slowly approaching completion. However, our people are united and, notwithstanding our decreasing numbers, are not despondent. There will always, probably, be an Anglican " colony " here, and I would like to see our endowment so materially increased that the Services of the Church could be assured to them. It is with some satisfaction that I record the works com- pleted during the year. The old Cemetery has been new- ly fenced and painted at a cost of $110.00, and the ground put into good order. This lot of land was donated to the Church by the late Hon. Louis Grugy in 1808, but was never consecrated owing to the fact that it was subject to the rente constitute. This encumbrance having been re- moved a few years ago, through the energy of some of our friends, we look forward with satisfaction to its early consecration. The Rectory drains have also been connect- ed with the corporation pipes, at a considerable outlay. This has freed us from an annual tax of $15.00 to the Ursu- lines. This tax, together with that on our tenement house, had unavoidably drifted into arrears, both of which have now been met; and we are now practically free from 8 lU those encumbrances. None, without experience of such things, can understand the anxiety they entail, nor the satisfaction their removal brings. We have also effected considerable improvements, and at considerable expense, both in the Church and Rectory. During the coming year we hope to begin the necessary work of putting upon the Rectory a new roof of English tin, like that recently put upon the Church. Owing to the difficulty of " ways and means," we can only begin these works in hope, and con- tinue them in faith. Could we only see the completion of this task, and the addition of any considerable sum to our endowment, our hearts would indeed be cheered. After a few years' experience, I may be permitted to say that a Parish like Three Rivers, completely isolated as it is from the rest of the Diocese, and practically unconnected with the Diocesan Board or any of the worKing machinery of the Church Society, lies under many and great dis- advantages, compared with the other Parishes and Mis- sions of the Diocese. The Clergy of all isolated localities, owing to their necessarily restricted intercourse with brother Clergymen, and the laity, owing to their lack of opportunity for knowing what is transpiring elsewhere, are in danger of losing interest in the Diocese as a body, and of sinking into a rut and remaining there. My connection with the Mission work at Lake St. John, I was reluctantly compelled to resign, owing to the amount of travelling required, and the impossibility of making the work •' fit in" with the requirements of my work here. It was with deep regret that I thus severed my connection with this interesting work. The work at Radnor Forges continues as before. Mr. Bell and Mr. Cumpston have faithfully exercised their offices of Lay Readers, and the work, I doubt not, has been signally blessed. I have been enabled to spend seven Sundays at Radnor during the year, celebrating the Holy Communion and remaining for Evening Prayer. On three occasions, Mr. Cochran has taken charge of the Services here. Mr. Drummond continues to take the warmest in- terest in this Mission. FiNANoiAii Statement.

The Rev. Dr. Riopel reports : — The Ghnrch Services have continued as usual to be well attended and relijf^ious earnestness to be woU maintained. Not only is devoutness in Church noticeable, but the ^en- eral conduct of every day life is evidently influenced by a sense of religious obligation. It is not a mere occasional parade of emotional egotistic profession, but a quiet steady improvement in practices and habits. For a change to myself, and a relief to my congregation. I was allowed to have charge of the chaplaincy of Grosse Isle during four months of last Summer. On my return there was much to remedy ; but little by little matters are getting again into fair working order. His Lordship very kindly gave the Mission a visit, and through his usual geniality and tact stimulated those present into more zeal for their Church and a stronger desire to be faithful mem- bers. The congregation, quite of their own accord, under- took to build a stable and a coach-house. The necessary materiel has been supplied and much of the work done. The severe cold put a stop to the work, but next Spring the construction will be continued and completed. The hearty willingness to do what they could manifested by our people has certainly been very gratifying. If the times would only brighten up a little and farm produce meet with a more encouraging market, there is good prospect that the little wants about the Church and Parsonage would be readily supplied. Even as it is, the usual expenses have a-U been defrayed. The debt incurred last Summer during my absence towards the Assessment will cause the payment for the last quarter of the year to be perhaps a little delayed, but, as it has been our rule to avoid Church debts, I have full hope that the necessary amount will be collected. We cannot too highly praise the zeal and assiduity of our Church- Warden, Mr. Thomas Billing. Mr. George Atkins, his ally, for the few months he has been in office, has also proved himself worthy of our heartiest thanks. With such willing and efficient workers we have good reason to look for success. Our thanks are also due to Messrs. John Billing, John W. Thompson, Wm. Smith and David Hamilton. It was chiefly through their active cooperation that the new building has been brought to its present advanced state. •^ 116 Baptisms, 5 ; Marriages, 3 ; Burials, 7. FlNANOIAIi HTATEJIJBNT.

WATERVILIiE. The Rev. Ernest A. Willoughby King reports : — An increased number of Services, better general attend- ance, somewhat larger offertories throughout the Mission, a generous proportion given to outside objects, spi»ci;il work among Swedish colonists, large sums collucted towards completion, restoration or building — and collected mostly on the spot — mark the past year's parish history. Waterville — St. John's Church, has received new felt and clapboards on the sides, with buttresses, new doors, win- dows and floor, complete sheathing in ash and basswood over the old plastering, a change of vestry, desks and choir seats, and attention to the foundation, sills and chimney. The large cost of such a general restoration emphasizes the importance of the " stitch in time" principle, as to annual repairs of all Church buildings. Mr. Reubeii Howse made collections for new seats, Mrs. Victor Parsons for Chancel carpet, Mrs. W. H. Ball for Church and graveyard im- provements, Messrs. Hodgson and Wiggett, wardens, spent much time and care in help and superintendence. The latter paid $25 to repair fund ; Rev. T. L. Ball $25 towards new floor; Mrs. A. H. Robertson, Cookshire, presented a beautiful alms-basin of ecclesiastical design in memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton, who were married in St. John's Church ; Mrs. C. P. Reid sent a generous donation of 115.00. An important feature of the Church's work has been the ministering in their own tongue to Swedish col- onists at Waterville and in neighbouring places. Through the intervention of Bishop Potter, of New York, and the consent of our own Diocesan, Rev. G. Hammarskold, B,D., General Missionary to the Swedes in the United States, visited his countrymen in these parts for ten days, and afterwards sent Rev. F. E. Lund, who for two months kept up the Swedish Services and lectured on Missionary work done in China, when he was a Congregational Minis- ter. Since November 25th, Rev. August Andren, B.A., of the University of Lund, Sweden, holding letters of orders from ISBaSHSBi 117 the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, has, with our Bishop's sanction, been carrying on this enter- prise. This is the only instance, as far as I know, in the whole Dominion, where anything similar has been at- tempted, although there must be hundreds elsewhere, de- serving a like interest in their spiritual welfare. In an article in the " Spirit of Mis&ions " for November, *• based," the writer says, " not at all on theory, but on satisfying facts of recent experience, there are nearly two millions of Scandinavians in this land (U. S. A.). The Clergy of Swe- den for many years commended and consigned to us their immigrants, who were seeking these shores. Were all the American Scandinavians added to the Church they would brina: to our fold as many new communicants as we now number. The time is ripe for an advance of the Church along this lind in taking to her care a people whom sbe ought always to have possessed and nurtured." The offi- cial letters of transfer ended thus : " The above person is hereby most cordially recommended to the affectionate care of the Venerable Bishops and Clergy of the Protestant Epis- copal Church of the United States of America." To our own Church in this wide Dominion, what valuable sugges- tions are herein made ! * Our congregation at Waterville, and a large circle of rela- tives and friends, sustained a great loss in the death of Mrs. Henry I'ennoycr What more and better need be said than that she was n pood woman. In Sherbrooke, on the sixth of December, Mr. William Wiggett, senior, entered peacefully into rest at the age of eighty. He was a warden olSt. John's Church lity-one years ago and often afterwards, often also a delegate to the Synod ; long a Municipal Councillor, a School Commissioner and a useful citizen ; he was of sterling integrity, and of great acti- vity, iudependenc* and perseverance. Mr. Wiggett also had a heart warm to what is good, religious and kind. He was a loyal and liberal churchman. Full of days and ho- nour, he passed away possessed with the well-grounded hope of a joyful resurrection. North Halley. — Here most generous and invaluable help has again been given in all Church work by the Summer visitors in association with the local guilds. #258.33 were collected by special efforts towards the debt incurred three years ago for construction, &;c., leaving a good sum towards the completion oi the Church. From the S. P. C. K. has 118 now come the'promised grant of $97.20. A renewal of the promised^grant from the Church Society of Quebec is still expected, although it has in form lapsed through, not hav- ing been claimed within the year in which it was granted. A large and beautiful Bible, and a pair of appropriate Al- tar vases have been given anonymously. Envelope system maintained with good results. Rev. Clarence Buel, of Bal- timore, for about two months most kindly made himself re- sponsible for the early celebrations of Holy Communion, and helped in other Services, preaching several times and always most acceptably. With the kind help of Principal Adams and Mr. Carey, an afternoon or night Service was also sometimes held. A new Font is promised, and also some help in having the exterior of the Church painted, and the interior finished. Eustia and Capelton.— 'H.eTe the event most deserving notice is the realization of a " prospect of a much needed new Church " spoken of in last report. A building 50 X 22 of good proportions, and well situated, is now in comfortable use. The interior is, however, unfinished. Rev. T. S. Chapman, M.A., has kindly promised to fill the central light in the Chancel with stained glass. Nearly all the present cost has been collected and paid through the painstaking zeal and energy of Mr. C. N. Martin, who also projected and superintended the building's erection. The Committee and all concerned owe him a deep debt of gratitude. A new organ, lamps, Altar-cloth, &c., have been provided by the Ladies' Guild, which is in renewed, numerous and active operation. The opportunities now afforded of having Services and Sunday-School any day and hour we like, and in a Church edifice are being appre- ciated ; whilst the hearty Services held in the School-Room for so long are not forgotten. In behalf of all interests thereby benefitted, I would ac- nowledge thankfully the efforts and gifts that have been bestowed for the honour of God and the Church's welfare throughout the Mission, and particularly through the very valuable assistance of the Guilds of good women in all the three congregations. I rejoice also to report that a Sunday School has been begun at North Hatley, and successfully continued by Mrs. B. Sprigings and Miss Kezar : also at Etistis by the missionary zeal of students of Bishop's Col- lege ; whilst that at Waterville is still kept up. Much benefit will accrue to the whole Mission, it is 119 prayerfully hoped, through ths appointment of Rev. A. Andr^n as the Assistant Minister. The aggregate contributions lor all Church purposes show a total for the whole Mission of $2,468.56, which is $1,181.21 more than the corresponding sum for last year. This re- markable increase comes largely from the contributions to the new Church for Eustis and Capelton. Finanoiaij Statement. Xorth Eustis and Parochial : Waterville. Hatley. Capelton. Total.

The Rev. A. E. Watham reports : — In my last report I ventured to express the hope that this year's would be still better, as I had then been but four months in this Mission. God has graciously fulfilled this hope, as I trust to show. I was then holding Services at four points, viz. : Way's Mills, Barnston, Libbytown and Kingscroft. I have since added four more, viz. : Bean, Sut- ton, Newville and New Boston, and am about to add still another, which will make nine stations in all. At all these the work has been successful. I have now four regular Sunday Services as follows : Newville at 9.30 ; "Way's Mills, 11 ; Barnston, 2.30 ; Libbytown and Bean, alternately, 7 p.m., often reaching home after ten o'clock at night. This is a pretty good day's work. I mention it only to give my lay readers some idea of a Sunday's Mission work in the Eastern Townships. Hitherto the assessment of Way's Mills has been $80.00, that of Barnston 150.00. We have been asked to increase these to $100.00 and $60.00 respectively, and shall comply. Our Way's Mills' ladies have been working zealously to establish an Endowment Fund for this Mission, and towards this object have banked $51.62. An ice-houso has been built adjoining the Parsonage, at a cost of $20.00, which promises to be a luxury, ^ome improvement has 120 been made to the foundation of the Church at a cost of $5.00. The ladies of St. Matthew's Guild, Quebec, have kindly sent us some beautiful hangings for the Reading Desk and Pulpit, our own ladies contributing $2.00 towards the same. Besides this, Mrs. J. Hamilton and other friends of Quebec have sent us some books for our Sunday School Library. Dean Norman has also kindly sent us some. During the year we have been favoured with two visits from our Diocesan, when five candidates were confirmed. I have five more ready for next year. His Lordship, on his last visit, in compliance with my expressed desire, kindly brought and loaned to me his lantern slides belonging to his Church Lectures. Having a lantern of my own, I pro- pose, this coming "Winter, to give illustrated Church History Lectures at as many centres as possible. I have already given two : one at Sutton and another at New Boston, and am to give another this evening at Newville. The Bishop kindly gave me $2.00 with which to purchase some Prayer Books to be used for Mission purposes. These have proved most useful. I have often thought that a Magic Lantern, with a full set of slides on Church History, together with three or four dozen Prayer Books, constituted almost a ne- cessary part of a missionary's outfit. After holding Services at Sutton for nearly a year, and receiving in support of the Church's work only the very small offertory taken up at such Services, Deacon Sutton, of the Baptist Church at Barnston, who has kindly acted as a sort of Church-Warden for me, kindly proposed that the residents of Sutton should subscribe a definite amount, payable quarterly, towards the Mission Service held by the Church in their midst. Accordingly a paper, duly headed, was circulated by Mr. Morrison, another Baptist friend of mine. Already eight families, none of them of our Com- munion, have promised a quarterly payment towards this ob- ject. And others are expected to do so. Thus would God seem to be blessing our labours here. When I assumed charge of this Mission in September, 1895, I found the finances in a very unsatisfactory condi- tion. With the approval of the Church- Wardens, here and at Barnston, I have, since May last, looked after the finances myself, and a much healthier condition of affairs is the result. The general income has increased, and the outlook is more hopeful. Both in Barnston and Way's Mills, the Church's work has been much helped by the Ladies' Guilds. mm 121 The outposts in connection with these two Centres have also contributed towards the same good work in recogni- tion of the privileges enjoyed by them. Indeed it is main- ly by the pecuniary help received from our various out- stations that we hope to be able to meet our contemplated increase of Assessment, amounting to $30,00. Separately their offerings are very small. I have often driven six, eight and nine miles to a Mission School-house on a dark, wet night to find but a handful of people awaiting me, and to receive, as the amount of collection, fifteen, ten and even six cents. The other night I drove eight miles with the thermometer below zero, and over rocky mud and ice, to find a congregation of eleven persons — and to receive per offertory towards our Assessment six cents. When the Winter snow-drifts come, even greater difficulties will lie in the Missionary's way. But though the financial returns be small, we believe that the spiritual results are not, and we thank God for this. We mention these difficulties only to show what must naturally be the feelings of the Mission- ary when word comes that we must do more for ourselves and expect a less help in future. But we have bright days as well as dark ones, and in the midst of our work here have had much to cheer and encourage us. The kind- ness received from our good people has been greatly appre- ciated, and their courage and zeal have been very helpful. On the whole God has shed His Sunshine more than we had expected and undoubtedly more than we have deserved. Financial Statkmknt.

The Venerable Archdeacon Roe reports • — The trials with which it has pleased God to visit the Priest of this Mission during the past year has necessarily given a serious check to his Parish work, not only in taking him away so much from the Mission, but also in the loss to it of two experienced and loving workers for Christ, whose example and devotion were and are felt to be so helpful. Nevertheless, the scheme of Services reported last year and the year before has been carried out without much interruption by my own and other hands. As to 122 results, attendance at Church is perhaps increasing, slowly however, at Windsor. At Brompton it is invariably good. It is fair to add that the impediments to regularity at Church are not so great to members of the latter congregation. The exceptional character of the year referred to above has prevailed to postpone the Confirmation which had been arranged for this Advent. "We have inaugurated for this Autumn and Winter a series of Parish evening gatherings of a social nature with the object of bringing our people into more intimate and friendly relations as members of the same Church. What- ever good results we may achieve may be recorded next year. The problem is not one easy of solution. Baptisms, 6 ; Marriages, 3 ; Burials, 3. FiNANOiAii Statement. Parochial objeett: Windsor.

Note. — The Secretary would respectfully call the atten- tion of his brother Clergy to the foot-note on page 131 of the last Annual Eeport. Collecting forms are sent out each Autumn to the Clergy, small ones for the use of their individual collectors, and large ones, headed " Alphabetical List," on which the names of all subscribers are to be alphabetically arranged, and ready for the press. And yet many of the Clergy, ignoring the larger forms, send in the , smaller ones only, with names, regardless of order, written by the individual subscribers, and this too in some cases with a lead pencil. To be obliged to refer to old Reports for help in deciphering names, and then to arrange these in alphabetical order is a task which it is unreasonable to expect of the Secretary. The Society expects each Clergy- man to see that his Lists are properly executed ; if unable to attend to it in person, he might surely depute the work to some member of his baud of collectors to whom all names are familiar. The Secretary would again ask the Clergy, when writing their Reports, to use one side of their paper only. The majority of the Clergy observe these rules : and to them the Secretary feels very grateful. 125 TREASURER'S REPORT^ The Malbaie and Point St. Peter Endowment, and the Kingsey Endowment, having reached the reauired amount, the revenues have been paid, this year, as additions to the stipends of the respective rectors. A new fund, styled the "Quebec City Church Fund," has been added to the accounts in charge of the Society, being the proceeds of the sale of lands in St. Rochs,' formerly used as a cemetery, the income being available for use by the Bishop for Church purposes in the City of Quebec. The following Investments have been paid off during the year : Town of Perth " Brantford ... " Windsor County of Albert City of Montreal Town of Berlin Sherbrooke mortgage.

The larger partof th(^ premiums were paid on the purchase of Quebec City permanent stock, for account of the Bishop Williams Memorial Fund and Bishop Williams Commemoration Fund, and makes an ap- parent reduction in their capital accounts, as the stock is debited at its par value. 01 the arrears of interest outstanding at the beginning of the year, that on the Montreal mortgage has been paid, but the Toronto mortgage is still in default. As shown in the balance sheet, the deposit now in Bank amounts to $36,180.07, most of it being on capital account, awaiting investment. Quebec, December Slst, 1896. Edwin Pope, Treasurer.

GORREHPONDINO COHMITTBB OF THE DOHESTIO AND FOREIGN MlS- sioNART Society of the Ghdror of England in Oanada, for the year ENDING 31ST July, 1896. The s ubscriptions of the year amount to $6,656.69, viz., for Domentic Missions $2,277.16, and for Foreign $1,379.53. Taking both funds together, the result, as shown in the following table, is almost identical with that of last year, being only $15.65 less. TABULAR STATBMRNT. 1895. 1896. Domestic $ 1967 64 1704 70 $ 2277 1« 1373 53 Increase Decrease .... $ 309 52 325 IT Foreign Net dpsreaae Total $ 3672 34 $ 3656 69 .... % 15 65 There was an increase of $309.52 in the sums for Domestic Missions, and a falling off of .f 325.17 in those for Foreign iMissions. The deficiency and gain very nearly balance one another, but the change would, at first sight, seem to indicate that the increasing efforts made in the Domestic Field were lessening the interest in Foreign Missions. This, however, is not really the case. The truth is that our people are getting to realize that there are still Heathen within the Dominion, viz., the Eskimo and Indians of the North West; and that it is as pressings duty to prosecute work among these, as it is to carry it on in other countries. Consequently money, which was formerly given directly to Foreign Missions, has been transferred to our Domestic Missions, and specially marked for, and devoted to, Indian Work ; and indeed if this money had continued to be devoted to Foreign Missions and sent to the S. P. G.— a Foreign Missionary Society— much of it would still be spent on the same Indian Work that will benefit by it, since this very work forms an important branch of what we call Domestic Missions. The details of the Domestic Missions are the following : General purposes Algoma Rupert's Land Saskatchewan and Calgary.

The fact that a clergyman from our midst, ro well known and so universally esteemed as the Rev. Canon Thorneloe, is on the eve of becoming Bishop of Aigoma, will no doubt arouse in our people a stronger regard for this Missionary Diocese, and create a closer sympathy with those who are carrying on the good work of the Church there. Such a result is in every way desirable, but at the same time it must not be forgotten that it is equally desirable that our sympathies and efforts should take a wider range, and that we should neither be unmindful of the Great North West, nor be unwilling to bear our own share of the work in foreign lands. ^ The Committee have again the pleasure of drawing attention to the Report of the Woman's Auxiliary of their work for the year ending May 20th 1896.

The following information has been gathered from the Annual Report for the year ending May 20th, 1896 : — There are 28 Senior Branches, 1 sub-division and 7 Junior Branches. Although no new Branches have been organized during the year, much greater interest is shewn in the work of the Association, the number of meetings has increased from 9 in 1895 to 15 in 1896; the attendance likewise, the average being in 1895, at the Executive Com- mittee meetings, 14, and in 1896 over 18. The sum of .$1612.23 has been raised for Missions. Our pledges, amounting to $400.00 per annum, have been fulfilled, viz. : $ 50.00 to the Indian Home on the Peigan Reserve. $100,00 to the Lady Teacher on the Sarcee Reserve. $100.00 towards the education of Adelaide Willeraar, and $150.00 towards salary of our Lady Missionary to Japan. Money has been sent in varying sums to Algoma, Oal gary, Mackenzie River, Moosonee, Qu'Appelle, Rupert's Land and Saskatchewan. The sum of $308.71 has been contributed to Foreign Missions. Thirty bales have been sent to Algoma and the North West, also two silver Communion Services. In January 1896, Archdeacon Tims, of Calgary, visited this Diocese, and held meetings at as many of the Branches as it was possible to arrange for in the limited time at his disposal. i' 2.'>1 I The Lord Bishop of the Diocese held a Missionary Meet- ing and lectured on Mission work. At a meeting on November 20th, Miss Tilley, Secretary of the Junior Branches, gave us the benefit of her Parlia- mentary Drill ; addresses were also given by Mrs. Tilton and Miss Montizambert. At the suggestion of Miss Spiller, a worker for the C. E. Z. M. S., a Zenana Secretary -was appointed for the Diocese of Quebec, Mrs. M. Bell Irvine kindly undertook to fill the office.

The work of our Aspociatiou has jrono on quietly and steadily tlurinp the past year. The smallness of our funds obliges IT, to limit our work, but wo. have endeavored to respond to all appeals. We have frequently been askt'd to" contribute mo. ey towards building* 1 'arsonujjos, etc., but, feeling thut this r ork comes .^)ore pavticulavly under the Church Society, we ha i^ been oblio;rd to refuse, unless under very exceptiont^ ciicumstances, and then only with the consent of o"r Advisory Ccnmittoo. In order to avoid cause for diisap|.o)itment in fu-.-ire application for aid, per- haps it is as Will 10 state here that grants for buildinjjs were not contemplated among the or>: lul objects of the Association's work. This is one of the main featnres of the Church Society's work, and we wish to supplement that work, through different and more personnl channels, such as repairing, altering or decorating the interior of Churches and Parsonages, adding to the comfort of the Clergy, and particularly in coming to their assistance in times of sick- ness or trouble. Committee Meetings have been held every month except July n.nd August, and we have had two general meetings. ThiL- ' oijection for the Church Society in the city and neigh- borhood was undertaken, as usual, by members of our Aesociation. "We are glad to report a considerabk' increase ill the amount collected, the result being $2,08^.25, over $400 more than last year. The Annual Sale was held on Wednesday, the 16th Sept- ember. It was thought, that in order to make it more at- tractive and to induce a better attendance, it should be held out-of-doors, and Mrs. Williams kindly offered the use of the grounds of St. Matthew's Rectory for the purpose. The sale was held there, but the result was not as satis- lactory as we hoped it would be. Our receipts were small- er than last year by over $60, only $179.27 being made. Mrs. T. A. Young having resigned from our Committee in March, Miss Phillips was elected by ballot at the Gen- eral Meeting in May to fill her place. A donation of $3 from the Church people at Mutton Bay, Labrador, was sent to our Association through the Eev. I. N. Kerr ; $25 were also generously given by the Lord Bishop of Quebec, and the annual gift of =£1 from a friend in Eiigland. 254 A number of letters have been received from Clergymen whose Missions we have had the privilege of assisting, say- ing how much encouragement they derive from the sym- pathy and help of friends in the city. "We sincerely trust that we may be able not only to continue but to extend our work, but in order to do this, we would ask for an increase in the number of our members, and a better at- tendance at our General Meetings. Helen Sewell, Caroline M. Hall, President. Secretary. report of executive committee. In February— $20 to a Clergyman to assist in defraying expenses of illness in his family. March — $20 towards shingling roof of Church at Penin- sula. May — Carpet for Chancel, matting for Aisle and a hang- ing lamp for Church at Mutton Bay, Labrador. Bet of cru- ets for Church at Pointe Bleue, Lake St. John. At General Meeting — $40 for Church at Drummondville, towards completing repairs. $40 towards repairs on Parsonage at Stanstead. $40 towards building Parsonage at Newport. October — $10 towards putting a furnace m Parsonage at Newport. At General Meeting — carpet and matting for Church at Canterbury. $15 towards heating Church at Pointe Bleue during Winter months. $15 towards rent of Parsonage, etc., at Becbe Plain. $10 towards purchasing a bell for Church at Barachois. November — $15 for repairs on Parsonage at Valcartier. $15 towards purchase of a horse for a Clergyman. $10 to buy a stove for Church at Stoneham. Hb;len Sewell, Caroline M. Hall, President. Secretary. 1' The Treasurer's report shows the total receipts, including a balance of $241.39 brought down from last year, to have been $632.21. The expenditure during the year, including a grant of $60 to the Magdalen Boat, and other grants to different Clergymen of the Diocese, leaves a balance in bank and in hand, on the 31st December last, of $210.84. 255 Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. 1' The Bi-centenary of this noble Missionary Society of the Church of England is to be celebrated next year. Grratit- ude to God for the truly great and good work which He has made it instrumental in performing throughout these 200 years, should secure for the event a worthy commemora- tion. But few in this Diocese have any just conception of the extent or varied character of the work of the S. P. C. K. ; nor are all aware of our own indebtedness to the same Society. The sphere of its operations is as wide as the British Empire : the methods by which it seeks to reach and uplift man, and promote everywhere truer godliness, are manifold. It is true that our obligations to the S. P. G. are even greater; yet, for one hundred years have we, in varied ways, been recipients of the S. P. C. K's bounty. But few Churches have ever been built within our Diocese without its generous aid ; towards the erection of the sixteen, built within the last five years, a grant of $100 w^as in each case made by the S. P. C. K. The same Society gives $900 annually, in the way of scholarships, towards the education of men for the sacred ministry at Bishop's College, Lennox- ville. At one time or another, probably every Parish in our Diocese has received from their Stores a grant of Bibles, Prayer Books, or S. S. Literature. Of the remarkable success which has attended the Society's Medical Missions to the heathen, we cannot here speak. We are grateful to the S. P. C K. for their numerous benefactions, and it was but right, that the sense of our indebtedness should take some practical form. Early in Advent, the Lord Bishop suggested to his Clergy the pro- priety of bringing before their people some account of the great work being done for the Church by the S. P. C. K and of making a special offering in its behalf Some thirty-live congregations responded. 1'he total amount received is not 266 large, the congregations being for the most part poor. The information imparted concerning the Society's work may indeed prove of more value than our pecuniary offering. We trust that during the current year, other congregations will wish to make like thank-offerings. MEMO. OF OFFERINGS. CONGREGATIONS. Quebec— S. Michael's $ 7 39 S. Paul's 7 20 S.
