O ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OP THE TENTH GENERAL ASSEMIILY OF LBTTEH FROM DR. KINO. Dr, Cochrane read a letter from the Moderator, Principal King, stating the reasons of his absence, expressing the hope that the General Assembly would, under the circuiii- stances, sustain those reasons, wishing for the Assembly a profitable meeting, and return- ing thanks for the honour conferred upon him last year by his appointment as Moderator. DR. COCURANE'H address. Dr. Cochrane addressed the Assembly at some length, mentioning especially the loss sustained by the Church during the year, in the removal by death of a number of our ministers — some in a ripe old age, and several at much earlier periods of life, and of many worthy elders and valuable members of the Church, nnd speaking of the encourag- ing features in the condition of the Church, in the success attending the eftbrts for augmenting the salaries of many of our more poorly-paid ministers, and the greatly increased liberality of the members of the Church at large in support of the various enter- prises in which the Church is engaged. ELECTION OF MODERATOR. The Assembly proceeded to the election of a Moderator. The nominations to the Moderatorship returned by the several Presbyteries were read. These were in favour of Dr. MacLaren, Professor of Theology in Knox College, by the Presbyteries of Glengarry, Whitby, Lindsay, London, Sarnia, Stratford, Chatham, Maitland, Hamilton, Paris, Toronto, Ottawa, Brockville, Barrie : — in favour of Dr. MacKnight, Principal of Halifax College, by the Presbyteries of Montreal, Kingston, Pictou, Lunenburgh and Shelburne, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, St. John, Victoria and Richmond, Halifax, Newfound- land : — in favour of Mr. Kenneth MacLennan, of Charlottetown, by the Presbyteries of Wallace, Miramichi, Saugeen, Huron : — in favour of Mr. J.

Smith and Mr. Kenneth MacLonnan, were, at their own request, also withdrawn. It was then moved by the Hon. Alexander Morris, seconded by Mr. Samuel Lyle, that Professor MacLaren be elected as Moderator of this Assembly. It was moved in amendment by Dr. Macrae, seconded by Mr. D. J. Macdonnell, that Prin- cipal MacKnight be chosen as Moderator. Votes were taken, when Dr. MacLaren was elected by a majority and was conducted to the chair by the mover and seconder of his appointment, and proceeded to address the Assembly, thanking them for the honour con- ferred upon him, claiming the support and consideration usually accorded to the position in which he was placed, and dwelling at some length on the important sphere occupied by the Church, and the great responsibility resting upon her to prosecute with zeal and faith- fulness the work that lay before her at home and abroad. THANKS TO DR. KING, ETC. It was then moved by Mr. Kenneth MacLennan, seconded by Mr. J. K. Smith, and agreed to — That the cordial thanks of the General Assembly are due and are hereby ten- dered to the Rev.

That at the same time, they see no course open, in view of the repi'esentations made alike by himself, and by the member appearing on behalf of the Presbytery, other than dismissing the appeal, and sustaining the action of the Presbytery, and accordingly declare this to be the judgment of the Court.

Dr. Moore read a Report from the Foreign Mission Comniittee (Western Section) to whom was referred the memorial and petition of the people of the town of Prince A.lbert, praying the Assembly to take steps for instituting a High School in that town for th better education of the youth of both sexes. The Report was received, and it was agreed to consider its several clauses aeriatim. The clauses were taken up one by one, from one to eif'ht inclusive, and were severally adopted. It was agreed to add a clause, moved by the Hon. Alex. Morris, and which is annexed as the ninth clause of the deliverance. The recommendations as agreed to are as follows : — 1. That the Assembly record their sympathy with the members of the church at Prince Albert, in their efforts to provide a High School for the district, inasmuch as such a school, efficiently sustained is fitted to promote the interests of religion, to strengthen the cause of Presbyterianism in an important section of the North- West territories, and to prove a very special benefit to the people of Prince Albert. 2. That, inasmuch as the mission property at Prince Albert was acquired in 1866 for work among the Indians, and as large suras have since been expended upon it by the Foreign Mission Committee, the interests of the Indians should be carefully guarded, in the appropriation of any portion of the Mission property for High School purposes. 3. That a school conducted under the auspices of the Church, and pervaded by thoroughly Christian influences, would not only prove a great benefit to the general popu- lation, but also to the Indian Mission, in training Indian youths, and persons of mixed blood, who may be employed in the service of the Mission or prepared for other walks of usefulness. 4. That the Assembly grant the prayer of the memorialists to establish a High School in the town of Prince Albert, on condition that the petitioners fulfil the promise held out in the memorial, regarding the erection of school buildings, to cost not less than three thousand dollars ($3,000), the same to be held as the property of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. 5. That the Assembly instruct the Foreign Mission Committee to set apart one fourth of the mission property, or the proceeds thereof, when in the judgment of the Committee the time for sale is opportune, for the support of a High School in the town of Prince Albert, and to secure, as far as possible, from those resident in the district, grants of land or money for the same purpose. 6. That the Assembly authorize the minister of Prince Albert to devote to the work of the High School such portions of his time as his ministerial duties may allow ; that the school now conducted by Miss Baker, at Prince Albert, shall form a department of this High School, and that an additional teacher be secured towards whose salary the Foreign Mission Committee shall contribute the sum of six hundred dollars ($600) a year for three years. 7. That adec^uate provision shall be made in the school for the education of Indian children free of charge for school fees. 8. That an annual Report from the school shall be transmitted to the Vssembly through the Foreign Mission Committee. 9. That th :. Foreign Missitm Committee be instructed to correspond with the congre- gation of Prince Albert, and such other persons as they shall see fit, to take all necessary steps for the incorporation by the Council of the North-West Territories, of the proposed Hii'h School at Prince Albert, and with such Corporators as they may deem best to secure in permanency the maintenance of the institution. On motion of Dr. Moore, the General Assembly agreed to adopt the Report as a whole. ** VICTORIA SQUARE FOR COURT HOUSE.

If a minister resigns his charge without obtaining leave from the Assembly to retire from the active duties of the ministry on account of age or infirmity, but continues in the service of the Church as a preacher without resorting to another vocation, such service shall be of the same account as service in the pastorate, in relation to his claim to benefit from the fund, provided that he pays eight dollars per annum in addition to rate on his professional income, which additional payment shall cease on his being again inducted into a pastoral charge, otherwise he shall be entitled only to such annuity as the length of his pastorate or pastorates warrant according to the regulations. "2. A Minister resigning his pastoral charge and transferring his services to another Church, or giving himself to another vocation, shall forfeit all claim to benefit from the fuad, beyond repayment of one-half the amount paid by him into the fund ; but tlie Assembly may, on consideration of all the circumstances, grant the application of sucli minister to retain his claim to benefit corresponding to the number of years of service in the ministry of the Church, on condition : — First, That he shall pay an annual rate of not less thsmjifteen dollars ; Second, That he shall submit to the judgment of the Assembly on any application that ho may '^subsequently make for benefit on the ground of age or infirmity."

Mr. McTavish wh > is now nearly seventy years of age, applies for the remission of the rate imposed upon him by the Assembly, on his removal to Scotland some years ago ; and for such an annual allowance as may be con- I'^ered reasonable in view of the fact that, though still doing work as a pastor, he is obliged to have permanent assistance. As the Committee are not yet fully informed in regard to all the circumstances, they would now ask authority from the Assembly, to grant, after due inquiry, the application of Mr. McTavish, ti) the extent of remitting his annual rate, and giving an annuity of not more than one hundred dollars."

There was taken up and read a petition from Mr. John Bain Scott, of Leamington, setting forth the inequalities which may occur in carryin.? out the scheme of supplementing stipends adopted last year, from the limiting of the '.naximum of supplement to three hundred dollars ($300;, and praying the General Assembly to remove the restrict'Vn mentioned, so as to place all the congregations and ministers on the supplementary list on the same footing as to amount of stipend. The petition of Mr. Scott was received, and the Assembly agreed to refer it to the Home Mission Committee. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The following resolution, submitted by Mr. H. M. Parsons, was adopted. Eesulved: — That this General Assembly respectfully calls the attention of the Dominion Government to the violation of the Lord's Day : — 1st. By the Postal Department in forwarding and distributing mails. 2nd. By Railway Companies, in running freight, irail, and passenger Trains, and by unnecessary work, in construction, repairs, and at station-yards. By Steamboat Com- panies in Excursions for mere pleasure and gain. [5801 THE PRESBYTERIAN CUURCH I\ CANADA. 63 .3rcl. By Military Companies, and various other or'^'anizjitions, in Public Parades with Bands of Music, and other demonstrations detrimental to the peace and prof , of th-; Day. And, inasmuch as these infractions of the Pivino Law of the Sabbath lead to the degrada- tion of public morals, and the increase of crime, and to the distress of the consciences and convictions of many loyal and law-abid-i.g citizens ; and as they disturb and interfere with the true and proper observance of the L( rd's Day, and so far destroy its influence in the land : — Therefore, we, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, respectfully ask that such legislation be secured by the Dotuinion Government as shall protect this Divine Ordinance from these violations, and secure to all the people of the land their rights of c(jnscience, with the blessing of Almighty God. Resolved, — That the Moderator (Professor MacLaren), Principal Grant, James Mac- lennan, Esij., Q.C., Hon. Mr. Yidal, Mr. Charlton, M.P., Rev. Dr. Moore, and W. D. Armstrong, be deputed by this Assembly to present these resolutions to the heads of dep.iranents especially responsible in the premises, and report to the next General Assembly the results of their mission. REPORT — DEPUTATION TO DIOCESAN SYNOD. Principal Grant reported that the Committee appointed to wait on the Synod of the Diocese of Toronto had fulfilled its instructions, and conveyed to the Synod the Resolu- tions of the General Assembly, and that the Synod had received the Committee with the utmost cordiality, and received the Resolutions with great gratification.

Valcartier and IMassawippi were regularly supplied during the winter by students from Morrin and Montreal Colleges respectively.

They were supplied for a few Sabbaths Ijy students, and members of I'resbytery gave such supply as they could. TIh!

Preshvteuv oi'^ (Jlengarrv. — The Home Mission field in this Presbytery is not wivy extensive, yet there is always something being done. The congregation of Kiiiix Church, Roxborough, vacant for two years, was satisfactorily supplied with scr\ ices during last sunniier and at the Christmas holidays, by a student. This is one of the charges difficult to settle on account of Gaelic Ixang re(|uired as well as Kn^Hsii, and it would have gone many days without divint" services, had we not licin able to lay our hands on a Gaiilic st>id(Mit. The congregation has now givt^n a call to a minister, and his induction will (D. V.) take plac(! on the 2-'nd April, inst. Mast liancaster was also supplied by a student. This lieid had formed a part lit the congregation of Lancaster and was worked in coniujction with that chargtj. I'lir several years the minister of Lancaster has had a student as assistant during till' sumnuT vacation, in order to supply this station with regular servicers. By this imans it has been worked up into a fair congregation, and has lati^ly l)een organiz- I: IV APPENDIX. od into a separate; charge. In all other parts of the Presbytery the ground is very fully taken up by settled congregations. Pre.sbytkrv OF Ottawa. — The niision Helds of the Ottawa Presljytery have been occupied as fully as men could be obtained for the work. The Presl)ytf!ry were fortunate in securing the Rev. W. H. Geddes, a licentiate, to occupy tlic Plantagenet field as an ordained Missionary, and he entered upon his work iit the beginning of the year. And with his appointment the prospect of the future of that lield became more hopeful. The Presbytery regret that owing to their inability to obtain suitable men, two other fields which have been occupied by ordained Missionari(;s, have received but partial supply. But while the work has liooii hampered and hindered by the lack of men, there Is cause for gratitude in the pro gross that has been made, especially in the fields which have been fully occupiod. This summer the Presbytery i. -e to extend their Mission field by opening one or more stations in the region of the phosphate mines. PriiSbytery of Lanark and Renfrew. — The work of extension has been push- ed during the yi^ar in the missionary district ; stations having been opened at lakes Tallon, North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, and Sudbury Junction. The students in charge of these stations also devote much time to visiting and holding services among tlie navvies engagc^d on the C. P. R. The work is arduous and in some respects dis- couraging, but is appreciated by many of the men who are thus reached and pro- vided with more or less regular supply of gospel ordinances. In the older mission fields the work has been steadily carried on and the results are on the whole encouraging. Mattawa has sultered through the removal of many of the rjiilway employe(!s, but JVIr. McKeohnie has faithfully carried on his labours, and during the year has erected tlu; manse which has been provided by the pcopli' with th(> assistance of the Presbytery. It was necessary for his comfort, and he deserves mucli of the credit for its erection. Castleford (Iroup have been much consolidated under the ministry of Rev. J. B. Stewart : a new church having been erected at one of the stations and steps taken towards the building of a manse. This field will soon be on the list of con- gregations with a settled pastor, we trust, and we should not wonder if it were self- sustaining from th(! outset. ^^'ill)erforce and associate stations lost recently that laborious and self-deny- ing ^Missionary, the |{ev. (i. ,J. Bayne, who broke down his health in the interest of his work, ile is to be succeeded by Mr. Linton, who no doubt will carry on and still further consolidate our cause in that promisnig field. Tn the supphnnented congregations there has beeii distinct and cheering pro- gress. The deputation which visited them in the interest of the augoicntation fund have been well receiveul and in almost all the fields advances w(!re made. The aggregate addition to stipend prom"?ed by the people being nearly $1,000. The scarcity of men has militated against the work hen; as elsewhere, and there are at i)resent one or two vacancies, but it )nay bo hoped soon these shall be sup- plied, and that in them, as elsewhere in this large Presl)ytery, the cause may be in- creasingly prosp(>red l)y the JNIaster. Pkeshvtkhv of P>KO('Kvii,r,K. — The neat church erected l)y the mission station of Winchester Springs about ei,i.;ijteen months .ago is now free from debt. Tius whole cost amounting to over .$1,500 has been paid )»y the pc^opU? without any out sile aid to any extent. This station lias been h tely disjoined from Chosterville and united with Nortli Williamsburg, and will soon be placed on tin; li.st as a vacant congregation, prepared to call n ."lettled pastor. The misision station of North Seeley's JJay and Delta is one which, though e.i- tending over a large area, gives promi.se of development under thi^ charge of the energetic student at present in the; lield. On the whole, our fiehl in this Pro.sbytery, gives manifest signs of progress, and also cause for thankfulness to God. leering pro- APPENDI.V. V PitESRYTKRV 01' KiNdsTON. — Tlie iniPT'oii iiolds of tliis Prosl)yt('ry are scattored over a territory one liuudrcd inilcs long by at least sixty in widtli. It is not only a lar;;c but a very needy district, Eacii missionary engaged during the summer iif 18i^-5 supplied from thrre to seven 2>reaching stations. To do this entailed con- stant lui'-d work, the results of which are, on the whole, encouraging. The average iit*^: ndtiuce at divine services was good ; Habhath Schools were organized and con- dutiwl whenever praeticabhs, had a fair measure of success, both as regards the miinber in attendance, and the Intercast manifested by the pare nts in the work. Thi' Ooiumunion of the ]jord's Supjiei- was dispensed l)y meinliers of the Presbytery ill the fields, with a general increase in communicants all along the line. The peo- ple appear, as a ru'e, to have done what they coald for the support of the gospel onlihauccs, altliough in the great majority of cases, thoy could do very little in the way of giving. At ^>harl»ot Lake a neat church was built and opened for worship last Sep- ti'iiiln'r. The cost of the building was nearly defrayed by the subscriptions of the oeople, togethoi with collections taken up on the oj)ening day. At Matawatchan, d(!scril)ed as, " A rough country, many of tlie people being still in debt for their farms,'" steps,are being taken for the erection of a plact; of worsliii" which, it is to be hoped, may be opened some tini(^ this summer. Camden and Tamworth, one of the mission tields, has, since last report, liiiLOHie settled congregations. We hope that ere 'long two more of these will be laiscd to the same position. The railway is rn^>idly tindiiig its way into the mineral regions north of Helle- ville and Kingston. T'he I'esult will probaljly be, in the near future, a largi; increase of people, and the founding and rise of tnriving villages. In order to provide for this proViability and to consolidate our mi.ssion tields, and diivelope th(!m into self- sustaining congregations, a constant supply of the means of grace ad the year round is a'lisohitely necessary. For young men liegiuniiig tlunr ministerial career, we know of no l)etter training than that of spending some time as ordained Mission- aries in our Mis^sion fields. Unless the services of earnest men can thus l»e obtaiiHjd, we must be content to se9 the etlects of the summer's laliour largely neutralize 1 l)y till' enforced interregnum of the long winfer, the very se: - .11 when earnesu work would liav(! its best ojiportunity. Several of our iields were attended to evidences of an increased and increasing interest. CardilV was joined during the summer to the lliirleigh and Cliandos Mission, hut owing to the long distance and dilliinilties of travel, only a \(!ry limited .ser- viec could b(! given to it. Also the inter(;sts of t\w two [iromising stations in the Ihnlcigh and Chandos fields were thus n.at(!rially interfered with. Two mission- aries are indispensable to any etlectual work in such extended fields. In J^toiiy iiaki! the number of families is small, liut tliey d(!S(!i've encouragement, as none of the stations has made so great saci'ifices in oi'dei- to secure the services of our cluu'ch. It is hoped that betli'r days ai'e in prospect, as Havelock — a station en the Ottawa and Toronto Railway, of considerabh; promise, ^will now li(i luuled with it. The report from II.\I!\kv was the most gratifying that has been recfuvcd from a field always entitled to commendation. Jt proliaoly will not long continue to need aid, though it has suliered a se\ere h)ss l)y the removal of aouw VI APPENDIX. |t,i * ■I U'l of thn best families. On the whole, the past year has been one of encouragonuiU and promise. Prksijytery ov Tor.ONTo. — Chalmers Church which for a numlior of years was known as IJrockton Mission, has hecoine a regularly organized congregation. Tlio building has boon removed from Hrockton to Dundas street and Dover Court lload, and the Rev. John Mutch settled as pastor. The progresK that has marked the work since this change of location and the settlement of a pastor, clearly shows tho wisdom of the course adopted. Ths prospect is (juite encouraging. At Deer Park there is also substantial progress. The congregation lias deter- mined to call a minister and otl'er $800 for the lirst year, in the hope tliat tlie tull salary can be paid in a very short time. Stouffville. This field made very decided advancement last summer, under the labours of Mr. Kixon. The congregation is anxious to secure him as pa.stiti', and in view of giving a call, ^-jOO has been sulwcribed. ' Ballantrae. This station was worked for som(! years with Mount Albert with out any satisfactory result. It was then connected with Stoutl'ville with evi'ii worse results. The Presbytery has placed a student in th(! held, to explore and rej nrt. So far the reports are encouraging. Caledon East. This station for a number of years was worked in conneetiou with Sand Hill. It has now been connect(!d with one of Mr. Tait's three stations. In this way it is believed that th(!re will soon be two .sti'ong self-support in^ con gregations. In this case the people who attended Sand Hill can easily attend other places of Presbyterian worship without having a separate station at that point, and at the sam(! time relieve the Home jNIission Committee of any grant. Horning, Camilla, IMono Centre, Queensville and Dixie are being sujjplied liv students for the summer months. The work goes on in all these with so)ne degree of encouragement. Davenport. This station is supplied by Dr. Wm. Ifamilton, with satisfactory results. Pkhshytkrv of Baruik, (including the ]\ruskoka district). — It was stated in last years report that the long vacancy in the pastorate of some of the iiongregaiions was causing anxiety. Progress lias since been made in their settlement, as East Nottawasaga, itc, and Angus, New Lowell, &c., have now their own pastors It was hoped that Singhampton, S:c , would be provided for, but the ordained Mission- ary who was appointed to the charge in Octob(!r, was obliged by ill health to resign it after a trial of a few weeks. In the mission fields the work has been carried on as in fornn^r years, ther^i being nothing especially re(iuiring notie(! in many of them. Yet new ground luts been entered on ; in some of the stations there has be(ui improvement, and in otiu^rs there have been changes which may atlect their interests. The Rev. John Janiiv son, who labored in Magnetawau successfully as a student for two si!mmer.s, und for nearly a year as ordained Missionary, was nMuoved from the field at the call of tlie Foreign Mission Committee to take part in the work in Formosa. His jjlace is nut yet supplied. It was found necessary to alter the grouping of the Wauliauslieiie, and Midland stations, and to remove the Rev. li. Stevenson to anew part of (he iv arranged district. Mr. Stevenson's health failed and he was obliged to resign tlie work. Waubaushene has been replaced under the care of Knox ('oli(!ge Students' Missionary Society.

His return is expected at the eh.s" of April. The Committee appointed the Rev. J. Y. Thirde during the winter to the charge of the Hunt.sville group. Mr. 'i'hirdii came to this country last huumih r on Commission from the United Presbyt(!rian (Jhurch of Scotland, and had tcsu- monials from friends there, which encouraged t!;c hope that he would be a valuahK addition to the number of our missionaries, He entered on his work at lfunts\ ille on the lirst Sabbath of ISlarch, and m'vlo a good impression on the people, liut APPENDIX.

Hudson as ordained Missionary here was noticed in report of last year. The hopes then expressed for Mr. Hud- son's success have been fuUilled beyond expectation. The congregation soon alter his entering in the charge removed a debt of i^'2G0 from the church property, and at a late period engaged in building a maiijc, which would cost over .$1,000 and for which they subscribed among themselves between !^(300 and !$700. Mr. Hud- .sou preaches three times every Sabbath, and holds praycsr meetings iluring th(! week. iJiuing the' winter he conducted five weeks continuous services on week days as well as on Sabbath. The attendance at the regiiKr .services has been large;, and liming tli(> summer the sittings in the church were insullicient for the audienc((S. The congregation maintains its go.Ml name for keeping up a good prayer meeting. One hundred memljers Mere added to the church or,, the two communion seasons sim-e ,Mr. Hudson's appoiiitment,tliirty-nine at the lir.st communion and sixty at the second, half of the number being admitted on profession of faith. Mr. lUirnett, of Alliston, was appointei by th(> Prestiyti'ry to visit and report on the state of the congregatio'.i, and fully corroborate the rejiorts previously receiviid. He wrote as follows: "Your commissioner attended prater inec^ting and preached on tlie '• Salibath in Parry Sound and at Carling, and found the representation as to attend- " anee (|uite correct, notwithstanding that a camp meeting was in full bla.st at the "time.'' During winter the attendance has been smaller, owing to the absence of sonic in the lumber camps, and the removal (jf others from the village. Like other congregations Parry Sound has losses as well as gains, for over thirty members have reinoNcd from its bounds. Tilt.' following statement by the JMissionary at Parry Souiul, is also added, for the iiifoniiation of those who are siiecially int(;rested in this field : — " The village of Parry Sound, including the neighboring village; of Parry Ilariior, is a field which, previous to my appointment a year ago, had expcTienced iiiiny lluctuations and discouragements. The jieople being to a large extent engag- <'<1 in the lumbering business renders tin; population very migratory as a g(!n(!ral tliii;^. The supply of ordinances by our church has, except in a few cases, been of the ^ame sort, iiy this means the Presbyterians fell in with one or other of the I'liinvlies which furnished religious ordinances all the; time, .and so were lost to the cause of Presbyterianism. Since my coming the fri(;nds of the Church seem to have talccn fresh heart and courage. A large number have; been addinl to the membership, alildc ov(;r one iiundred, )»ut, as an illustration of the wandering character of the papulation, of these about 40 have removed beyond the bounds of the congregation via api(<:ndix. mm V'- W' and more are going. As a proof of the deterniination of the people to do what tiny can to secure a regular ministry, tlit^y set about the erection of a manse last fall which has heen oi;cupic(l hy the JMi.ssionaiy since; the beginning of the; year. It cost a little ovei C-ijOOU, about half of which the; peoph; raised among thiMuselvcs, trie balance they had to borrow in the meantime, hoact; the appeal which was recently made to the Church as a whole, for help in the Presbytci-y and abroad. The atttmi- ance on ordinances has been very encouraging as a general thing, so much so, in- deed, that the little church erected a few years ago, is found to be entirely too small. It is too small for the Sabbath School also, which is in (juite a prospen'ous condition, and it may safely l>e stated that a good work is being done amongst the young in this connnunity. In the ev<'ning tlii; attendance of young people is a marked feature of the congregation, and as a general thing they form a deeply inter esting and attentive audience, making the work of preaching delightful and com- paratively easy, illustrating the proof of the saying that " it is easy to preach when the people are anxious to hear." Here, as elsewhere, however, there aie some half-day hearers, and some who n(;ver attend the prayer meetings, and these at the same time are niendjers of the cliurch. Their spiritual ajjpetite is not remarkably vigorous. Tiiey are easily satisfied, or, it may be, they altsent themselves from the evening service that there may be more room for strangers I Besides preaching in the morning and evening every Sabbath in the village of Parry Sound, J have preached almost every Sabbath afternoon, alternately, in the Townships of Carling and Foley, severally nine and six miles from here, 'i'hese stations do not amount to much in the meantime. 1 have thought it wcill, however, to give them all the supply possible, in the hope that they niay, in a few years, themselves be a1)le, With help fiom the Jl.

Caswell was appointed by the Com- mittee, and is expected to take charge on lirst Sabljath of May. Th(> disadvanf ige of having, in many of the stations, only summer service has been long felt. One of the IMissioaiaries shows its ellects : " I found," ho says," the jteople very careless in regard to public worship for the greater part of the summer, l)Ut were only getting stirred up a few Sabbaths before i left. 1 think if there wen; a minister foi- a whole year labouring among them they might do a great deal towards supporting him." There being no Superintendent of the IVluskoka Mission flidd, the duty of visiting and administering ordinances was perfornKni by several mend)ers of the Presbytery by appointment. This service inadeciuately supplies the place of regular and responsibh; superintendency. The plan of the Connnittee is to place four additional ordained Missionaries in the mon^ important points iu the district APPENDIX. IX with liberal support, and to divide the work of superintendence anionc; them. If suitable men could be obtained tor these duties, the work would be consolidated and the [)rogres8 of the Ohuroh secured. May the Lord of the harvest send forth iebuurers into his haivest. Note. — At theniceHiigof the Conin)ittee,he]d in London last June,it was unani- mously agreed to appoint Kev. A. Findlay to Huntsvilh, witli supervision of the Muskoka mission field at a salary of ^^^\1(J0 per annum togt'tlicr with manse or rented house, in the hope that the field would contribute al)0ut .^GOO per annum, the appointment to date from 1st September last. Mr. Findlay having declined the appointment, the Piosbytery at the October mi'eting applied for the ajipointment of a superintendent of missions for the Mus- koka. Parry Sound and Algoma districts. The Committee decliiied to entertain the application, believing that the Aluskoka field could be worked to better advantage by the appointment of four or five ordained missionaries, with charge each of a central group of stations. Presbytery or Owkm Sound. — In the Presbytery of Owt;n Sound the lower field of the Indian Peninsula has been erected into a congregation and a minister settled over it fi,t Wiarton and Hepworth congregation. Sarawak and North Keppel Mission field has lieen divided, the two stations of Sarawak and Kemble forming a loiigregation, and che two. Big Bay and Lake Charles, remaining as mission stations A very comfoi table trame church has been built in Woodford and open- ed free of debt. This station bids fair to become a strong congregation at an early day. Tliere has been permanent advance in mission work in every loct.lity during the year. Presbytery hf S.\ugi>ib e by making inroads upon the non-church-going of the district. Thef-e are three stations Fo'tErie, Kidgeway and Victoria, the last nu'iitioned being at the Canadian end of the International bridge. Twenty-six fainilit s and twenty-three communicants are reported from the whole field. Victoria has been weakened by the removal of three families, owing to changea made in the C. S. liailway. Mr. Stewart says, " The progress of the field as a whole has come up fully to what I expected. In the matter of payment of subscriptions, I must say that they have on the whole done as well as I expected. There are few, if any, subscription lists without some shrinkage whi^a the outside figures are taken, APPENDIX. ! ,.,1 '?ir pspcrially wln-n tlie avrrjiyc amounts to !?17 311 per niprnber as here. ' In r^oniuY- tion with the aljove c|uotation from Mr. Stewart's report, it must he stated that a slight falling off' in coutrihutious has been reported. Wellandport has l)f'en hut irref,'ularly supplied during the winter owing chioHy to the difficulty of ol)taitiing such continued supply as the people thouglit them- selves ahle to pay for. A student has been sent for the sumtrier. The other stations in the Presbytery, all of which are self supporting, have Vjeen regularly supplied, and are at least holding thcT own. Saknia Pkksuvthkv — Within the bounds of this Presbytery, there are four mission fields, Petrolia, Oil ('ity and Oil Sj'rings, 8ond)ra Village and Dutliil Church, and Black Creek and Wilkesport. Ther > fit 'ds embrace nine preaching stations. All are occupied during the : mne' . Only occasional supply is givpti during tlie winirr when tlu- coilegiis arr r ■,e?'S;i(.>., Oil Springs ;»' 1 Oil City have nearly reached that stau'e when they shoui " ,; ■ >n the suppl.

In addition to Oil Hprinjsau ■ ■ Uu/.+he Presb} .;i-y contemplatf at an early date to org,\ni/o a regular congregation in ^bra, cr asisting of two or more of the mission ^stations in that township. This would hav(; been done sooner, but for the ditfu^ulty of finding continuous supply. Presbytkrv of Ckatiiam. — Mission work in this Presbytery is, at present, more than oi'dinarily encouraging. Both Tilbury Centre and Windfall are erecting ^hnrch edifices, and the pof)ulation of the former place (a station on the Canada Southori-? Railroad) is rapidly growing. There has been a remarkable awakening at Maidstone and Belle Jliver. No special means have been used, but, during the last six months, the attendance at public vvorship on the Lord s day has been almost quadrupled. Prayer meetings held on week days in private dwellings, in various parts of the extensive field, have been crowded, and the merab 'rship of the little church has been doubled. Ours is the only Protestant denomination at work in this district, and the gains through our mission to the cause of Christ include families that for many years attended no place of worship. We have made no in- road on the Church of Rome. Prksbttery of Bruce — Saint Joseph Island and Tarbutt. The Rev. Jatnes Ferguson occupied this field on the 20th November last, and has since that date occupied a 1 the stations in that needy district. In Tar butt the people are organiz- ed into a regular preaching station ; in St Joseph there is as yet no regular organ- ization. At Hilton and liicliards Landing preparations for building churches are going on. The settlers have raised very little as yet; from the soil, and depend for a living mostly on the proceeds of the forests. This past season the lumbering business has been depressed, and the labourers thrown out of eruployment some sh weeks earlier than usual. Mr. Ferguson's health has greatly improved since he entered upon this field, and he writes encouragingly of the future. S.\ULT Stk Marik. — The Rev. Mr. Morrison, Missionary in this field, writes as follows of date of April '27 : — " The following is a brief report of my labours at the Sault and vicinity during the past year. I preach in the town of Sault Ste Marie, and also in the country every Sabbath. The people ar(^ attentive listeners and appear to appreciate the preaching of the gospel. Our congregation would in- crease more if the country were more thickly settled. There is no inducement for farmers to settle in Algonia, the climate being too cold for raising crops. Last summer the crops were a failure, and the farmers are not so able to give for the support of ordinances as they otherwise would be. 'ihey will need all the assist- your conmiittee can afibrd to give them. During the pa.st year the church at the Sault was furnished with seats, carpet, lamps and chaii's at an expense of S^liii', the most of which was collected by members of the congregation among friends in different parts of Ontario. The church is now atttactive, neat, and comfortaMe. The attendance at our niM-vices on Sabbatii and at our prayer meetings is pretty good, and the Sunday School is prospering. If the railroad comes this way the APPENDIX. town will increase ani cur congregation will become larger, in the meantime your Missionaries here re^uiro to labour on and keep our cause from tailing."' Port Arthur. — Our cause at Port Arthur is in a highly satist'actory and in- deed nourishing condition. The Convener of the Home Mission Committee spent three days last August at Port Arthur, preaching twico on Sal)l)ath, and meeting with the office bearers of the congregation. He cheerfully testilics to the excellent work carried by on Rev Mr. fjerald.and the attachment of the people to their pastor. The following letter from !Mr. Herald of date April 1st, describes in detail the position and prospects of our cause in this rapidly growing locaiity : " I beg to submit to you, and through you, to the Committee of which you are Convener, the following statement as to the progress of our churcii liere. The new church which was begun to be built last fall is now well advanced. Had it not been that the bricks sent to us in the fall were of so inferior a (|uality that we had to refuse them, it wou d have been further advanced than it is. \Ve are now waiting for the opening of navigation, when we will lie able to procure proper bricks and have the work completed. As it is to he a brick veneered building, the carpenters are able to go on at present with the inside work, the wooden part of the walls having been put up, and the roof put on in the early part of the winter, and the building thereby enclosed and covered. It is to be a very handsome Ijuilding. Its lost when finished will 1 aliout $10,000. That is more than we at first contem- plated, and more than we ;ould raise without some outside assistance. After cou suiting Mr. Eoss, the able and experienced manager of the construction of tin eastern section of the P. R., and receiving from him a letter of introduction t the contractors on the " Line," 1 visited them and their workmen to solicit the. aid. I am happy to say my vis''„ was not an iinsueeessful one. I found all the contractors, without exception, exceedingly kind and obligin'^^ They either went with me among their men personally, or sent tneir hookkeeper or time-keeper with me. The amount I was then able to raise for the new chai'e'h was .'?L',480.2.^). When 1 had visited all the men in a contract, the contractor with his bookkeeper added up the sums sub.scribed, and then gave me a check for the full amount pay- able to my order. On my return home i endorsed the che(iu(,'s and handed them over to our worth y treasurer, I have reason to expect some additional sums, a.s one or two of the contractors were away when I called. I have been promised more. My visit extended over seven weeks. During that time I travelled 215 miles along the " Lino '' and visited the dillrent contracts. On the Saljbath I con- ducted two services, one in the morning at the camp when^ I had staid over night, and the other in the evening at the next contract. On every occasion the attend- ance and behavior of the men was very gratifying. At one camj) thr; number pres- ent was, I was told, l02. A more orderly and respeetful looking assembly of men could not be desired. 1 frequently also h(>ld services iri the evening of a week day when 1 saw a favorable opportunity for doing so. \'eiy freijuently strong regrets were expressed to me by the men that there had not Ijivn some one appointed to hold religious services among them regularly. I was the first minister, i was often told, they had seen since the work liegan. I found a number of excellent men be- longing to our Church, many of them coming from iS'ew iinmswitk. Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. Whilst those belonging to our (Jliuic'i atteiiiled the services i conducted, numbers belonging to otl:er denominations also attended, among whom not unfrequently were Roman Catholics. Having gone over the ground and seen the eti'eet of the ai)se!ice of the means of grace, and conversed much with the workmen wIkj had been accustomed to a better state of things, I cannot help expressing my earnest desire that our Home .Mission Committee will be able, after the o))ening of navigation, to send an active zealous man to labour in this important field. My ex[)erience enables me to pro- mise to such an active one much kindness and encouragement in his work. It is unnecessary to say that there are men of ditlerent nationalities and belonging to ditiiM'wt) •aotiona of th* Christian Cluiroh at work on thw (;. P. R. What is r«- •W xu APPENDIX. 51'! M.U W m quiied thorefoi(! is tliat whoevor may be sent, should go not sef'kiiig to represent Presliyterianisni or atiy other ism, but to pre ich gospel truth. The work ot' your Missionary there will be to preach Chri>t and His truth and not to organise. Permit me to say also tiiat *^he men among wliom he will have to labour are us a whole, slirewd, intelligent, and praotioal. Th(i preaching, therefore, that will be the most acceptalne and do the most good will be practical preaching. In the absence ot a g.jod an i f^ligi^iis inti leace, an iiiHaence of an opposite kind will e.xert iiselt aud produce its eltect, especially among the young men. I met two, only two, men who openly prided t.hemselves on being Free Tninkers and lolluwers ut the notornnis lugers-dl. That number, among several ihuusaiids seems infiimisemally small, but "a little leaven leaveneth the wbde lump." Jt is the duty ot the church to send the healing and puritying iiitlnence of Christ's gospel wheie it is not, and where the want ot it is telt. 1 frequently promised that 1 would return and conduct ssrvices at dilterent poinis on the evenings ot the week days, it i could not do so on the Sabbath. Tliat 1, of couise, having promised, mean to do. What is wanted, however, is one to be among the men conducting services regularly and at appointed times. I am happy to be able to leport that the prospects of our church here arc still c.icomagin^,. Tiie town hall is fiilled, SvjLQetiines crowded, at our evening services. I am happy also to say tnat we will be able to get into our new churcli this summer." ^^Since the date of this communication, the convener has had intimation from the secretary ot the Board ot Management at Port Arthur, that the congregation has increased their share ot Mr. Herald's salary to .^000 tor the present year, in the hope that the committee will be con^-lderably relieved next year, when the new ciiurch is tinished, of the grant now made.) Pkinck Albert. — I he Rev. James Sieveright ot Prince Albert, having returned to Ontario, at the end of his three years' engagement, tie committee appointed ti.e Kev. W'm. MacWilliam (jt Stieetsvilie, at a salary of .i;il,4l)U per annum, in the hope that at least $1,U00 would be raised in the field. Mr. MacWiUiam arrived in October last, and entered vigorously upon his vv(jrl\, preaching leguiarly at Prince Albert, and occasionally at Carrot River and other points, and teaching the bible Class in Cv)nnection with the congrega- tion. Owing u> gieat commercial depression in the North- West, the congre- gation has not been able to come up to the amount expected by the com- mittee, and is still aided to the extent oi ,"jG.)U. Mr. Mac'vVil lam has been unanimously called as pastor, and the congregation put upon tiie list ot sup- plemented congregations. Mr. Sinclair continues his labors at Carrot liiver and the vicinity. Edmonton. — This important field, under the charge ol the Rev. Andrew B. Baird, makes steady and encouraging progress. In addition to the reier- ence made to it in the n port ot the Piesbyiery i;t Manitoba, the following communication sent to the convener by JNlr. liaird, ot date March 27th, will be read with satisfaction : — " The annual business meeting of the congregation was held last night, and I hasten to lay betoie you an epitome ot the years's work as it was summed up in the reports presentee' at the meeting. Morning and evening services are held at Edmonton, tortnigluly at Beiuionte, and monthly at Fort Sas- katchewan, Sturj^eon River and Clover Bar. The last two places have been opened within the last halt year. They are centres of new taiming neigh- borhoods, 12 and S miles distant rv.spectivnly. where in each case the Pres- byterians are m a decided majority Tne Methodists hold a monthly service at Sturgeon liiver, but at Clover Bar, as at Bebiionie and Fort :Kaskatche.van, ours is the only service held. The Sabbaih Schools at Edmonton and liel- niont are doing good work. Eleven membeis were added to the church dur* APPENDIX. Xiu rch 27th, will in;; the year ; two were removed by death, the first loss of the kind which the congregation has siistdiued Tne attendance at tnu Sabbath services, especially at Edmonton, has uicreaseu dt'cuiedly The mcst noteworthy event ot the ye^ir was the long expected visit last tail ot the Superintendent ot Missions. He spent two days ui visiting the different branches ot the coiigregaiioii. and did much to cheer and stimulate both pastor and people in their work. On his recommendation the weekly offering system was ad ipted tor Edmonton and it has worked in the most satisfactory manner. The revenue lor the year am jiinted to §1,478, of which $G39 was paid on the building luiid and .SiUi lor an organ. Hhe church was plastered during the year, the furnaces were re- modelled and the building was embanked. There is still a floating debt ot ^'.VJO on the church besides the loan of S600 secured from the Church and Manse r5uilding Fund. The Sturgeon River people are engaged in the erection of a comfortable log church, towards t)ie completion ot which a grant of $1(J0 is expected from the Central Fund. The congregation has resolved to increaae the pro- portion of the minister's salary paid by themselves to !$700, and also to give him a call as soon as the necessary f(.)rmalities can be arranged. We are depending on the arrival ot a second missionary because the work is becoming too extensive to be properly overtaken by one man. Even it it be but a student who would occupy ha t this Held tor six months in the year, it would place the work upon a much better looting. On the whole the cmtlook is very encouraging. The spiritual condition of the people, it is true, is far Irom what it is to be desired, but it is improv- ing. In our weekly prayer-meetings during the winter, there were three young men besides myselt, (nearly all our men are young), who took part in them, and there was many an occasion when the Spirit ot 'xud was manifest- ly present." British Columbia — At the l?st General Assembly the following resolu- tions were adopted bearing upon our work in that i:'rovince : — 1. That pending the union ot all the Presbyterian (Jliurches in British Columbia, the General Assembly place under the care ot the Presbytery of Toronto, the congregation of Pandora Street Church, Victoria, and any of the other congregations in liritish Columbia thai may make application to be received into connection with the Pre.-bytenan Church in Canada. 2. That the I'resbytery ot Tonjnto be ( mpowered to receive as ministers ot this church, the ministers of any ot the fresbyter an congregations m British C.jlumbia, on t.ieir making application, and tabling the necessary Presbyterial certificates. At the last meeting of the committee there was read a letter from Kev. R. Jamieson, dated 1st November, 18(S.'3, proposing that a minister be ap- pointed to take full charge ot Si. Andrevv's Church, New Westminster, and outlying stations — Mr. Jamieson actirg as assistant ; tlie congregation in the city to contribute !?1,200, the outlying districts 8^00, and the Home Mission Committee $^600 ; the salary ot the aimster to be .81,r)(jO per annum, and that of Mr. Jamieson S'.'UO per annum with manse t^r the 1st year. $800 the second, and 8700 the third year. There was also read a letter from Mr. Jamieson, dated 11th December, withdrawing the proposal. The report of the congregation for 1883 showed -ff) fdinilies, 25 single persons, and 60 com- municants ; Sabbath School, GO pupils and 7 teachers, lievenue SI, 594 80, including lor salary 81, ''00, and tor missions 8177. Grant asked for year be ginning 1st July next, $300. After consideration, the following resolutions were adopted :— • 1— Tiiat the attention of the congregation of St. Andrew's Church, New Westminster, be directed to the decision of last Assembly, making provision tor the reception by the church oi any congregation ia bntish Columbia that jcIt APPENDIX. tiii it; h lit may see fit to make application, and in the event of the congregation con- necting itself with this church, this committee promises to aid it in every way calculated to advance its interests, 2 -Tnat the grant to Mr. Jamieson cease on 1st July, 1884, and that this action be reported 1 1 the General Assembly. 3 — TnaL the committee are of the opinion that in the interests of Pres- byttnanisiu lu New Westminster and locality, it is desirable that Mr. Jamie- ton withdraw iioia his present held of labor. Since the nieeting ot the committee a meeting of the congregation of St. Andrew s, ^^'ew Westminster, has been held, to take into consideration the Ir^resbyterial connection of the church, and the announcement made by Mr. Jamieson, that on account of infirm health, he desired to resign the pas- toral charge. At this meeting the congregation. Resolved to apply for admis- sion to the Presbyterian Cluirch in Canada, under the resolution of the last General Assembly, and requested the Presbytery of Toronto to receive the congregation under its caie. Itie following resolutions were also passed : — "That we have learned with deep regret that the state of Mr. Jamieson's health makes it necessary lor him to resign the charge of this congregation. Since, in the Providence, of God he has been deprived of the bodily strength neces&ary to tfie discharge of his duties, we have no alternative but to con- sent to the acceptance by the Presbytery of the resignation which he has tendered, and which has, we feel, been dictated by the same spirit of anxiety for the prosperity of the Lord's work in this place, which has actuated him since the aay upon which he ministered to the first Presbyterian congrega- tion assembled on the mainland of British Cohunbia. But we consent to Mr. Jamiesjon s resignation with sorrow and reluctance ; nor can we allow the tie which has so long bound him to this church to be severed, without giving expression to our respect and esteem for him, personally, and gratefully acknowledging the long years oi faithful labor which, under many discourage- ments, he has given to the Master's work among us. And we wish also to take the opportunity (jf assuring Mrs. Jamieson and her family that we have been neither indifferent to, nor ungrateful for, their long continued and sell- denying labors in our behalf, not only in the choir and the Sabbath School, but in many other ways which have materially contributed to our comfort and prosperity as a congregation. We are glad to have the assurance that Mr. Jamiesun, while ceasing to he our pastor, purposes still to live among us, and we pray that God may give him yet many years of usefulness in the smaller and less exacting sphere of duty which he has chosen. The congregation also agreed to give Mr. Jamieson, as retiring allow- ance, the use of the present manse and the lot upon which it stands, and a grant of $350 per annum for life ; also to take the necessary steps to obtain a minister for the church from Ontario, and to make provision for his mainten- ance " In accordance with the last part of these resohitions steps are being taken by certain members of the Presbytery of Toronto, with the co-opera- tion of the convener of the Home ^fission Committee, (to whom the matter has been entrusted by the church in New Westminster,) to appoint a suitable pastor for this important field. Communications having been laid before the committee by the convener, regarding the ecc.esiastical relations of Pandora Street Church, Victoria, it was agreed to call the attention of the Presbytery of Toronto to the resolu- tion ot the General Assembly placing this congregation on its roll. A letter was also read from Mr. John Mcfiae, asking the committee to i«nsuaary to Ladaor'a Landing. Mr. J. 0. (Jampboll, of the Theolog- APPENDIX. xr ical Seminary, San Francisco was appointed to this field for the summer, the committee agreeing to give any reasonable aid towards his salary and expenses. The convener, immediately after this appointment, corresponded with Mr. Campbell and the people at Ladnor's Landing, with a view to the arrangenricnt of the coaimittee being carried out. Tlie committee however, regret to say, that Mr. Campbell was unable to accept the appointment on account of a previous engagement. Letters have been received ikih the Bev. Ur Gray, Convener of llie Colonial Committee of the Church of Scot- land, stating, that in response to a request from Nanaiuio, they have sent a minister to that field, and were about to send another to Coni'^x. Prkshytery of Mamkiha. — The following is the report of the Preshytery of Manitoba, transmitted by Rev. James Kobfrtson, the Superintendent of Missions : " During the past sea-on al)OUt ir).00() itninigrants are computed to have settU;d in Manitoba and the North-West territories. The 'ands along the C. P. R, in the Moose, mountain country, and north of the Qu'Appelle river were the most in demand. The new comers are largely members and adherents of our own fhurch. Strenuous eHorts were put forth to meet the religious wants of the new settlements and provide ordinances for the older dist'icts and with gratifying success. Last summer few settlements of any size, with the exception of the York Colony, were without regular services, and no settlement was wholly neglected. Owing to the want of men and means, however, the Prest)ytery was unable to supply many of these fields during winter. About 1,100 families were without supply for the most of the winter, and 400 more received only occasional supply. This is not at all satisfactory and a change must come if we are not to sustain seveie losses. When fields are supp'ied only for six months in the year liftle pro- gress is made Encouragement and continuous supplv will develnpe self-support in a much shorter time and at less expense than intermittent services. NEW FIELDS. The following new fif^lds were cganized during the year, viz : —Auburn, with five stations ; Beulah, with four ; Swan Lake, with four ; Virden, with four ; Broadview, with three ; Grenfel, with four ; Indian Hend, with five ; Fort Qu'Appelle, with six ; Moose Jaw, with five ; Calgary, with three ; Medicine Hat, with two ; Whitewood, with seven ; Pelican Lake, with fi)ur ; Cartwright, with four ; Dumfries, with seven ; South Mor.se. Mt., with five ; and Binscarth with one. Two new stations were opened at Edmonton, on(^ at Neepawa, one at Oak bake, one at Sharon, one at West Turtle, Mt., and oiit north of Regina. Swan bake, Pelican Lake, Virden, Auburn, and Beulah, were formerly Mission Stations constituting portions of contiguous fi'lds. The influx of settlers, however, render- ed it necessary to readjust fields aiu these stations became the ncuclei of new fields. It will thus be seen that ground was broken at over seventy new points during the year, and that the advance made was the greatest in the history of the Presbytery. CHURCH i:s AND MANSES EKKt'TKl>. Churches were erected at Rat Portage, Stonewall, (freenwood, Oadurois, Indian Head, (Qu'Appelle, Humesville, Moosemin, Rosedale, Moose Ja»v, Calgary, The Ridge, WiUoughby, The Flats, Union Point, Condie, Grenfel and Edmonton. Church Manses at Virden, Broadview, Prince Albert, Regina, Gladstone, and Rat Portai^e. The church at Gladstone was enlarged ; and the churches at Carberry, Dominion City and Miami, finished. The total cost of these buildings was between $35,000 and .^10,000. More than two-thirds of the amount was con- tributed by the people, and the balance was met by advances from the Church and XVI APPENDIX.

The evidence of early neglect is pain- (1(1(1 XVlll APPENDIX fully evident in many a locality.

The next few years will largely determine the religious future of the country, If there is any truth in the law of heredity, or the teachings of history, tlio future cliaracter of our people will be largely determined by the action of oliistian people now. Half a continent is now thrown open for settlement. Thousands ar( coming in every year to people its fertile plains.

C. B. PITHLADO, Clwinnan. Winnipeg, 20lh .May, 1^34. DANIEL M. ClORDON, Secretary. At the meeting of tlie committee in October, after lengthened deliberation, as to tlie best metliod of making grants to the .Manitoba Presbytery, for the grovv- iug mission work in tluit great lield, the following resolution was adopted ; — " Tliat in view of the gr. at extent aud the dK-;tauce of the mission field of .iiiuitoba aud th'^ Nolth-W(^-^t, tlie numcrou.i and rapid changes within it, and the consequent dirhculty of making specific grants to stations in such a way as to eu.sure the wisest use of the money, the committee resolves to pay, (in t\ j ccpial instalments of §8,000, on i31st Deccmher aud Slst INI arch next), the sum of six thousauil ($G, 000) dollars to the Presbytery of Manitoba, to cover the •fiole expenses of the work within its bounds, (excepting grants to supplcmnnt- 0'] oougregations), during the next sLx months, leaving to the Home Mission (^om- jiitee of the Presbytery to allocate the money among the stations, and to apply it I'or expltrntory and other work, and for the sa'ary and expenses of the Super- inteudent of Missions, instructiij^ the Presbytery to give full information to this committee at its March meeting; as to the applicalion of the money, with the understanding that this oommittce reserves to itself the right of making all ap- poiuhaeuts for a IcngtheneJ term to the Presbytery of Manitoba."' At the meeting of committee held in March, after considering the necessi- ties 01 tht^ Presbjtcry, it was agreed to grant the sum of JjjilS.OOO for caTying on Ihe WLi'k during the year beginning Ist April, IHcSl, the sum to cover the entire t xpeuititure from the funds of this committee, excepting grants to supplemented cougrejMitions and the salary and travelling expenses of the Superintendent of iinKsions ; the grant to bo payab'e in four instalments, viz : Ai,'2^)0 each, on .">Oth •lime am' ."JOth September, and if J.'iSO each on ."Ust December and '"iist March UfXt.

SKprriiilendeiit's Worl,: — At the same meeting of committee, Dr. Laing a: d Messrs. Pitblado and Warden were appointed a committee to revise the regiua- ti'us affecting the Superintendent of .\lissions, and rej)yrt to the sub-comir''.teo ill .Vpril, witii a view to their being laid before Uie Presbytery of Manitoba, and .suhhofpiently adopted by the Asscinbl.v. As the report has not yet been laid before the committee or Presbytery, final action is necessarily delajcd. Sul) ilie nioH of the Prr.shjilerii of' M(initoh<(.—\\, the meeting of commitlt e 111 Id in March, the Assembly's remit as to the sub-division of the Presbytery of .Manitoba, together with the Presbytery's r* commeudaliou thereauent, was re- ferred to a sub-committee, consisting of Dr. Laing, (convener,) Messrs. Parries, hobei'tson, Pitblado, McCr.ie and McKeuzie. At a later stage the sub-comnutt ,*- i'resented tlie following report : — The oiib committee appointed to consider the division of the Presbytery of Manitoba having coiit^ideretl .ne matter, as far as it was possible, in all its bear- ings, tit g h,'ave to report ; — Tliat theie is good ground for difference of opinion, as to the advisabihty of dividing tlio Presbytery at all, as to the number of Presbyteries that should bo xxu APPENDIX. erected, and as to tho relation which the Superintendent sliall bear, licrr after, to tlic several Presbyteries and the Synod of whicli ihe Presbyteries sball consist. Nevertheless thoy are agreed to report as the most advisable course to bo purturd :— 1. — That the Presbytery of Manitoba should bo dividcl into three partfi, which may be known as tlie Presbyteries of Pembina, Winnipeg, and Portfigc la Prairie or Brandon. The first two named to consist of the congregations uud territories specified in the minute of Presbytery referred to tlie committee, ami tiie third to consis-t of all the territory not specified, and which is now withi?: tlie bounds of tliC Prosbytcry of Manitoba. 2. — Tbiit these thrre Presbyteries shall constitute the Synod of Manitoba. o. — That the Superintendent of Mi.ssious sliall devote his whole time to tlio mission work in the v estern Presbytery of Portage la Prairie or Brandon, and that his relations !,o that Presley tery be the same as they now are to the Presby- tery of Manitoba. '1. — That (he Presbyteries of Pembina and Winnipeg shall work the mission fields under the same rofjulatious as are in force for the other Presbyteries of the church, and that the Presbytery of Brandon shall conduct its npcriitious in gen- eral accordance with the .special provisions framed for the conduct of the work in the present Presbytery of Manitoba. The report was received and the following resolution adopted : — The com mittee, having carefvJly considered the whole subject, recommend, in view of tlio chan'jed circumstancLS tluring the vear in the working of the mission field of the Norili- West, that no action be taken ru( antime. LUMBERMEN MISSION. 'ihe wctii of this mission was vigorously prosecuted during the past winter and the Alissit)uarie3 and ('olporteurs were oariy furnished with a largo aud varied stock of books and tracts, with whioh they all expressed great satisfaction. The Missionaries em[)loyod were the same a.s last year, namely, the llev. Josopli Gaudier, the Rev, U. L. McKechnie, the Rev. Wm. Shearer, Mr. P S. Verni( r, Mr. McCiilIough, Mr. Dunkin. P.oxes of books and tracts were sent to the Rev. G. T. Bayne, of Eganville ; Jiev. John Fairlin, of L'Original and Hawkesbniy, and to the L.;V. Jos. S. htewart, of Balderson's Corners. In tl.'e case of Mr, Stewart, the box, through some unaccountable delay on the railway, did not reach him iu time to be distributed this winter. All the agents of the mission report that the literature was everywhere gladly received, and the ministers say it was the means of securing for them ;i welcome in some places, where without it they might have been treated with scant courtesy. The report of the Rev. Mr. McKochnie is given in full, and will enable readers to form a somewhat clear idea of the Uardsiaips and encouragements of the work . — I began the work this year on ihe 1 5th January, and coutioucd, with sotrie interruptions, until the iTth March. The sluuuies I v'sited were situated in the Ottawa and its various tril)ntario.'^, from Riclilifl'', forty-five miles below Mat tawa, to Lakes Teniscamint>ue and Kippowa, one hundred miles above. In all I drove about 1,200 miles. I visited 1.1 shanties, not quite as many as last year. There was less luinboriup in this district this y( ar than last, and the shanties were much more scattered. I mauayed to visit all within my district except six or seven. I was somcwiiat hiudeied in my work this winter by the dangeroujj APPENDIX. XXlll illuess of my wife, and was twice recalled from a far distauco. Besides shan- ties, 1 visited of course, a considerable iiumbor of lumber depots, sloppiag- pliices, tavorus, and private families The majority of the men in the rihnulies are French. The most of thcdO are ab!e to understand and talk t^c Hn^lish languago more or less perfectly. Ouly now and then do we visit a shanty where the majority are English speak- iujr. Of course it would be a great advantage if the missionary were able to preach and converse in the French language as well as in the Euglisii. (ienerally, thouu;h not always, the missionaiy receives a cordial welcome and is treated with kiudiicHa The address is oi'tou listened to with oaeerness, and nearly always a respectful attention is paid even by some who cannot nu(,erstand. I find it best to do or say notliing thai; would arouse religious strife. There is plenty of ground that is cinnmou to all claistians, such as man's siniuluess, tiie law, God's love, salvation through Christ, heaven, hell, Ihu uncertainty of life, i*i;c. Tiie supply of literature this year was suitable and abundant. Tlie illu- strated papers, En(.dish and French, were vtry acceptable. A man in one of the shanties remarked that even the pictures liad an educating influence. Tne papers and tracts help greatly to malio ti;e missiouarv's visit a^rc able, and to open a door for the preaching of the Word. I distributed them freely, giving Kometimcs even to those who could not read, I havn reason to tl.nik IV »' very few of them were wasted or destroyed. "I will bring this home to <'.\ little girl," said a French cook whose home is in New Brunswick, wiiin he received a copy of " L'Ami de la Maison," wilh a fine picture on tli- front page. The bound copies of The Sunday at Home, The Leisure Hour, Friendly Greetings, The Cottager and Artisan, The frjict Magazine, wt-rc very acceptable and useful. 1 loft copies at depots and shanties vvhere tljero were a gr.od many who lead the Eughsh. I left them in ciiarge of the foreman for the use of the men. A tract is soon read and laid a^id' . but one of these furnishes a winter's supply of read- ing. " The men read it every night,' said a clerk from one of the shanties where I had left a copy of Tho Tract Magazine. If your missionary could bo furnished each year with 50 or 60 books uf simihir character, thouu'h even of less size and value, it would be a great boon to the men engat-'ed in lumbering. A few similar books in French would also be found very useful. In a tew instances 1 met French converts to the Protestant religion. Such are alwavo ghid to see u Protestant minister. On one occasion 1 came across a cook who liad been a pupil of I'oiute Aux Trembles schocl. W'htni the foreman rather unkindly said to me, " there in no bed for you, the cook immediately answered, " 1 will give hnn mine." He seemed quite intellig.-'nt, and though a Catholic, he understands Protest mts and is not prejudiced against them Ho bought a FrencJi Bible from me. Of course there is not much religion s:en generally in shanties. An intelli- gent gentleman said to rae that it was impossible for a man to live a christian life in a shanty, and indeed it must be diflicult enough. For from two to ten mouths in (ach year the men are away Irom home and religious iullueuce. There is constant porfaniry and much conversation that is low and vulgar. The bo(jk.s found in a shanty, wlien there are any, are generally of a light and some- times uf an objectionable characti.'r, There i,s much to djsoourago a missionary who visits shanties. To bo compelled to spend a part of a Habbath with fifty or sixty n.'eu who have not the least regard for the Sabbath is indeed misery. The missionary is sometimcH treated with coolness ami even mgardod with suspicion. Where there are but a m XXIV APPENDIX. few Protestants among a large number of Catholics the Protestants are occasion- ally ashivmeil of their own missionary. One feels that the words of the prophet suit his Cfise, 'Ho came unto his own and his own received him net." lint 1 have little to complain of, I was very generally treated with Idudness, and on the whole enjoyed the work, "(lod that comforteth those that are cast down," oftoi comforted me when I was discouraged. To do justice to the work, the missionary'should be the \\liolo winter at it. His very nre.sencc among a number of men .seems to have a good inlhiencc. "We must not'curso now," I over-heard a man remark one day. The most jmo fane generally restrains liimse'f before tlio missionary." Financially the m.ssion ii in a prosperous condition.

To the lier. W. Cochri(ne, D. D., Conveiwr oj the Home Mission Cuminitlcc, {W'csfcrn Section ) : The Sub-Conmiittee on Augmentation of Stipends has much satisfaction in re- porting, that the ellorts which liavc been put forth to secure the licttcr support of ministers of the Church, have licen thus far crowned with success. A niii/'imiiii stipend at the rate per annum of SjjiTno and niimse has been secured for the h;ilf year ending ."Ust March, 1884. The op(!ration of the Augmentation .scheine in its new form dates from 1st October, 1S83. For the six months preceding tliat tiiin', supplenxiuts were paid on the old Ijasis of the grunts voted by the Home Mission Coinmittee. in October last there were in the western section of the Church, two hundred and twenty-three (2'28) congregations having settled pastors, (besides tliirty-tlnee QV.]) vacant charges) giving le.ss that the proposed mininnim. Each Presbytery was furnished with a list of the congregations within its boi:nds, which catne under tlic category. Deputies appointed by the subcommittee visited the several Pi'esl)yteries, and explained the working of the scheme in dc'tail. As the result of this action, arrangements wen^ made in each Presbytery for the visiting of congregations that required aid, and for the securing of increased contributions from the .stronger (iharges. A circular was also addressed to a Iarg(> numlxr of private hidividuals, askiv.g for special contributions in order that the scheme might l)e begun with a good working balance. The response fion the Church has been very gratifying. Pc was estimated that $."55,000 per annun would be recpiired to bring o the two hundred and twenty-three charges ri'ftrred to above, to (he minimum fcipend. Of this amount S(>,000 was expected in the form of increased contribution <^ to stipend from thcsu APPENDIX, XXV charges, while thii remaining $29,000 was looked for from self-sustaining congre- oations, and from individuals who might make special contributions. These expectations have been more than realized. The actual receipts are : — Congregational and individual contributions for Augmentation $ 21,505 64 Propoition of Home Mission Committee's receipts applied for aug- mentation in accordance with instructions of General Assembly, (including supplements for half year ending 1st Oct. 1883).. .. ... 12,652 67 8 34,158 31 To which nmst be added, in order to shew the real advance made, the pro- portion for the half year ending 31st March, 1881, of the increase; promised by the 223 congregations toward stipend, viz. : $8,480 per annum. The expenditure has been ; — Supplements for ha'f year ending 1st Oct., 1883 8 7.020 50 Supplements for half year ending 81st March, 1884 18,857 95 E.xpenses (including share of H.M. Committee's expenses, deputations, printing, agent's salary, &c.) 1,956 88 8 22.885 33 It is very satisfactory thus to report " a good worki:ig balance "of 811,322.98, TliO .sub Committee recommends that of this amount 810,000 be set aside, to form, along with 87,000 — the proportion of the legacies of the late Messrs. Joseph and Edward Mackay assigned to augmentation — a reserve fund of 817,000, leaving a 'jalance of $1,322.98 at the credit of the ordinary fund. Of the 223 congregations reported last October as giving h.'ss than the pro- posed minimum, only 145 have received aid for the past year, and they have increased their contributions to .stipend 1)y 83,565 per annum The remaining "S congregations have for the most part come up to the minimum, and fhcir returns show an increase of 84,915 per annum in stipend promised. rncluding vacant charges, the number of aid-rcijuiring congregations i;- now I'n, as compared with 2;>6 in October last The Committee cannot but regard this result of one year's ett'ort as exceedingly gratifying.

The following regulations for the working of the scheme were reported to the Home Mission Coramittee in March last and adooted : — 1. That in carrying out the instructions of thf* ( fenesral Assembly regarding congregations in Manitol)a, Resolved, thr.t the stipends of niinist»>rs duly inducted be supplemented in the first place to $850 per annum, and participate in the sur- plus fund up to !?95() per annum, — cerresponding with the ii?750 per annum and manse in the other Presbyteries of the church— it being understood that where there is a manse ^50 per annum will be deducted from the supplement, but this shall not be applied so as to reduce the present salary of any of tlm ministers now settled in supplemented congregations. That congregations receiving supplement in according with this regulation be required to pay at least ^.'JOO per annum : no supplement to exceed $400 per annum. 2. That the salaries in cities, and in towns where living is exceptionally high, be supplemented in the rirst place to i^SOO per annum, with allowance of 8100 per annum for house rent, and may, at the discretion of the coininittee, participate in the surplus fund up to 81.000, with the same allowance for rent. 3. That congregations receiving supplement in cities or towns, in accordance with the above regulation, be required to pay at least "-^oOO, and $100 for house rent, Vjefore lieing put on the list : no supplement to exceed $400 per annum. 4. That before a settlement takes place in any vacancy retjuiring to b(! sup- plemented, the congregation be visited with a view to increase the coiitributious of the people, and the result of the visitation reported to the committee. The sub-committee recommends the adoption of th, 1883-4. II Presbytery of Quebec... " Moutroal ... Glengarry Ottiiv.a... LnDurk & Reofruw .... Brorkville Kirgtiton Petrboro'... . ... ... ...

During the year past, thirteen ordained ministers and ten licentiates have been engaged under the direction of the Committee ; besides four ministers during a portion of the term aiding Presbyteries by mutual arrangement in the supply of vacant charges. As most of the licentiates, were soon c.illed and settled, a good proportion within the first half of the year, the twenty-seven agents would not average more than six months each, in what is regarded as strictly Home Mission work ; but the other six months were devoted by a good number to congregations in which they were settled, and of the supply of which the Committee was relieved. Refiides the preachers, whether licensed or ordained, thirty-eight young men have been employed during the summer months, some in organized congregations, but the greater number in mission stations ; so that the whole number of agents in the work has amounted to sixty-five. The student missionaries have given, some four, some five and some six months of work, while four have continued during the year. The main facts connected with this work are given in tabular form. The statistics of the special fields in which missionaries have l)een located, Bedford and Waverly, Riversdale, New Kincardine and Tobique and Little Bay, Newfoundland, will be found in the general ref -.rns, a.id will show respectalile pi ogress. The corresponding returns from Mission St.ations will be found in the accom- panying Appendix III. Following the totals will be found the corresponding figures for 1883, showing a decided superiority in last year's work, an .advance in numbers in .attendance, in families visited, in Sabbath schools, in communicants, and very decidedly in liberality, the .amount raised being much larger and the sum drawn from Home Mission funds greatly reduced. In this last respect special honour belongs to the Presbytery of St. John. As the report of last year presented no extracts from, or outline of, written reports by the student missionaries, and might therefore be regarded as somewh.at b.ald, and perhaps deficient, the Com- iiiittee consider it desirable that a few brief sketches should be presented, to keep the Church informed respecting the ditiFerent districts in which her young evangelists are doing her work. IN ST. JOHN PRESBYTERY. Twelve mission fields have been wrought, of which the following are specimens : — HAMMOND RIVKU AND HAMPTON VILLAGE. IS Sabbaths. Received 9144.00. Hammond River branch is a congregation forty years old, but is now reviving, has a good church edifice in good repair, had an accession of twenty to its membership this summer, is in good heart with every prospect for continued prosperity. Hampton Villag' s a new field, but a good one, is a growing jilace and the capital of King's County. The first I osbyterian communion was held here September 2nd, 1883. No place of worship yet, but have had the use of a Baptist building. Friendly feeling, bright prospect. Had accession of fourteen this summer. Whole field well located, all the circumstances favourable ; should be helped substantially now and encouraged. J. S. ALLEN. KIRKLAND, OAK MOUNTAI.V, ETC. SG Sabbaths, Received S271.35, of which 870.00 loere for board. Kirkland, Oak Mountain, etc., is at present in a flourishing condition, and when they build a church at Oak Mountain and a manse, which will be done under proper management within four or at most five years, they will be able to call. Sixteen added to tne Church this summer. Elected four trustees in October. Much need of elders. These should be elected and ordained is early as possilale next summer. The field should be supplied at le.ast once each month during winter. Instead of prayer-meeting I taught Bible class twice each week in Kirkland and Oak Mountain. JAS F. BLAIR. WKLSKOHD, NEUKPIS, AND CLAUENDON. SG Sabbaths. Received 9G1.00 besides Board. Welsford, Nere])is. — We have just eight families in those two pl.aces, and others who atteiul ovu' services very regularly and who also assist in raising money. As for ( 'larendon it is hard to lecido just lidw many we can claim, they have Ijeen so much neglected that they scarcely know themselves what they do or would like to belong to ; however, if they are attended to we can, 1 think, call these our own. There maybe some exceptions. They never had any regular services prior to my going among them. They are also very anxious that our services should be continued. JOHN HAWLEY. LOWEU SOUTHAMPTON, TKMPEUANCK VALE, MILLVII.LE AND MAPLK UIDGE, SI Sabbaths. Received 954f>0 besides board. In the.?e places, Presbyterians are in the minority. Have felt at times as though we could spend our Rtrongth to better advantage in other places than at the three last nameil. But the Presl ly terinn element is strong at Lower Southampton, However, all denominations seemed alike friendly. Baptists, etc., proved as liberal supporters .as did the Presbyterians, and attended meetings as well. It is a good field for work, an excellent place for Bible class work. Scripture knowledge sadly lacking, and an eager interest and apparent craving for it manifested at Lov.'er Southampton, Never lunl a Bible class before. People recognized it as just the thing needed. Old and young alike came, I had none Iviii. APPENDIX. at other stattoua, as my work was too exacting, but could have good classes at Temperance Vale and Millville. Preaching that has been given at these places a good deal of it not educative enouf,'h. More light is the requirement. Feel sure that a good deal more money would be raised another summer. The Bible class made mo a present of §35, which they said I was not to put in my report but our rules require me to report it. DANIEL FISKE. ' ST. OKORGE, PKNNFIELD, MASOAUKNK, AND UPPER MILLS. 14 Sabbaths, Whole amount collected 977.34. Increasing attendance at the Sabbath services. Much interest manifested. I preach in otlier places besides those mentioned above, six times a week occasionally. We have lost IG families on account of long intervals without preaching ; but think a congregation can be gathered here yet. The people are willing to do all they can and wish a constant supply. 'J. A. CAHILL. yUACO, BLACK RIVER, AND CROSS ROADS. 16 Sabbaths. Received $95.00 and board. The field is very encouraging and should be made at once a regular preaching station with ser- vices through the entire year. The people are willing, ready and mK, iiecrttari). Appointments, ed, or Settled. jointments. )ointnients. 32 Zi H H < H 02 % H c o i-s Eh' APPENDIX.

At a meeting of Committee held on October 10th, the Remit and recommendations of the General Assinnbly were taken up and considered. The circumstances were not favourable for a full consideration of the whole nuestion, as the Synodical Sessions limited the time at the disposal nf the Committee. While individual members, and probably the nuijority, vere fully i)re|)ared fm- an immediate effort to put the Assembly's scheme in ojjeriition, aiming at once at the minimum ii;um'(l, others regarded this as at present beyond our reach ; so that the Committee's resolutions went no farther than an embodiment of the views held unanimousli/. That the Committee being desirous of carrying out the reconunendation of the General Assembly to raise the salary of every minister of the i)ody, without delay, to !5(i00 and a manse, ask the Synod to appeal to our people for means to enable them to carry out their desire. That they recommend Presbyteries to t.ake the whole question of ministeri.al support into consider- ation at an early day, and to take steps to elevate the standard of ministerial support where needed in their respective bounds." The Synod not only approved of what was proposed, as a step in the right direction, but recom- mended another in advance thus expressed. " That this Synod recommend the Supplementing Committee to take up .at their next regular meeting the instruction of the Assembly, and to use their best endeavours to jiut into operation the scheme of augmentation, found on page 305 of Ap[)endi.\ to Assembly Minutes 1«83." _ , , . Meeting on December 12th, the Committee resolved unanimously, in accordance with the in- structions of the General Assembly, and the exi)ressed wish of the Maritime Synod, to take inunedi- ate steps to carry out as far as practicable the Assembly's Sui)plemental Scheme ; and as a first step, to a|)poiiit a sub-committee to arrange in tabular form, the statistics of all congregations which are bfcl'ow the Assembly's minimum, and to suggest modes of procedure in initiating the scheme. >t an adjourned meeting on the 27th of the same month, all the information sought was tabu- lated and submitted with forms of circulars to ministers, to deputies and to Presbyteries, The Augmentation movement being designed for tlie whole Church, the Committee desirepointed to represent the Committee before the Presbyteries, and the schedules referred to placed in their hands. Fiarly in January, the papers were in the Iiands of the clerks of Presbyteries, and deputies were ready to exjilain the measure and sjieak iu its behalf. March, however, had come before tliey, with mie or two exceptions, iuul an opportuidty of discharging their duty, and as a consequence that month was u.^avly gone l)uiore Presbyteries could by adjom-ned meetings, or by committees, carry out tiie visitation of congregations. To this must be iulded the unquestionalde fact that the monliis of March and April liave been the most unfavourable for public meetings known for a long time. The Committee cannot therefore report this work fully carried out, nor the movement as success- ful as they could desire. They connot present any such record as they know, and are rejoiced to know, will be presented APPENDIX. Ixix. itions fif the last jreKaticms on the tuality.

They would, however, respectfully call attention for a moment to what has been attained as an index of better things in the future. First. The scheme of the General Assembly, about which there was for a time a considerable diversity of opinion, ha.s been cordially welcomed by all the Presbyteries, and so far as known, by all the sessions and congregations. Secondly. The Presbyteries it is believed without exception, and the Contrregations generally, have engaged to make early efforts to secure pecuniary returns, so as to admit of an advanced divi- dend approximating, if not reaching the mark of honour, to be paid on the first of October. Wisely or unwisely, not only Presbyteries but congregations have oeen left to pursue their own methods of contribution, and in such a way as to give promise of continuance, but the pledge to increase has been all but universal. Thirdly. The financial position is already greatly improved. Our ordinary revenue has been about .S4,000, this year it has been .So,l()(j.l0. Hitherto the General Assembly has generally heard of debt, henceforward it is hoped they will hear of a surplus. Last year by a special effort, the debt was paid, and the present year commenced with a balance in hand of $(5*28.35. It does with 82,159.66. We have thus on hand cash to pay the quarter from January to March 31st, leaving a nucleus of $1,200 to grow and to gather, until a dividend under the new system shall be declared on the 1st of October. Whan both parts of our Home Mission work are combined, they show on the credit side. Ordinary Receipts $10.20C 17 Bequest of A. McLeod 2,00n 00 $12,200 17 Expenditure 7,95J) 21 Balance '. $4,240 96 The subject of amalgamation of our Home Mission scheme, more especially as respects Augmen- tation, so that there may be one committee and one dividend was considered ; but, before making any proposal to the General Assembly, it was thought advisable to have the matter discussed by tlie Maritime Synod at its, meeting next October, so that the views of the ministers and elders might be ascertained, and known to be favourable before any change should be recommended by this Committee. The Committee have' been again brought under obligations to the General Assembly of the Pres- byterian Church in Ireland, for the generous donation of one hundred pounds sterling, for which they trust the thanks of the General Assembly will be expressed. The Committee regret that they are unable to submit for the sanction of the General Assembly, any list of supplements for congregations. At their last meeting, only two Presbyteries had for- warded their applications, whether because their visitation of charges under the minimum had not been completed, or because they had not regarded such recommendation under the new system as necessary, is not known ; and as there was not time to have such applications made by Presbyteries, approved by the Committee and placed on the Assembly's table, it was agreed to lay these facts before the Supreme Court, and to request for the present transitional year the power of applying the Assembly's regulations ; all action taken to be reported to the Assembly of 1885. In conclusion the Committee are of opinion, that although the Maritime jiortion of the Chundi, has moved slowly in this matter (and cause could be assigned), yet that good and substantial progress has been already made, and the lines clearly marked out for a farther advance. The inspiring example of the West has begun to be felt, and will have its infiuence on all classes. We must advance. Wc cannot he one Church, and hare two rates of pai/ment, for men doing the same work, and in like circumstances. The great Christian principle of the strong helping the weak is being tliscusaed, understood and applied, :'nd will doubtless in the near future be still furcher applied. When this principle is carried (lut, in all its legitimate applications, Presbyterian Union and Unity will no longer appear as myths but as great and glorious realities. All which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS SEDGWICK, Convener. P. G. MacGREGOR, Secretary. REPORT OF THE COxMMITTEE ON FOREIGN MISSIONS, 1883-84 (bastkrn section). Nl 11 be presented The last report was laid on the table of the Assembly with some fear and anxiety about the future. True, so far as was known, the South Sea missionaries were well and prospering. Two of tlieni were at their posts, and the third, with his family, having returned home, appeared before tlie Assembly, after twelve years of devoted service, in health, and interested all, with his narrative of Work on Krromanga, and on the New Hebrides groups. Over the other mission, however, there were threatening clouds which awakened serious C(mcern, Rev. Mr. Christie, under medical advice, had reluctantly resigned, and had retired. Efforts, that gave promise of success, had been made to till up his place, but these had ended in disappointment. Ixz. APPENDIX. is Brfore the blank could be filled, the pioneer missionary, Mr. Morton, seriously affected by toil and ciimate, had been compelled to retire from Trinidad, and, with his family, was seeking re^t and revival under the shadows of the White' Mountains. The two missionaries left in Trinidad, were, with their assistants, straining themselves to the utmost, to do the work of their own stations, and jiIbo to supply the lack of service inevitable from the absence of their invalid brothers. The events of the year have been such, that the Committee are persuaded that the General Aaaembly will, on review, raise a stone of remembrance, and, gratefully recording the Divine good- ness and mercy, write on it " Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." The following are among the facts demanding notice : — First. Mr. Christie has steadily improved in health, notwithstanding uninterrupted work in the Home field, with frequent lectures on Foreign Missions, added to the ordinary work of preacher and pastor ; and the Committee entertain the hope that the Lord will grant him his heart's desire, to return to his beloved work of evangelizing heathen orientals, not probably in Couva, but in some •ther place where the call is equally loud. Secondly. The Foreign Mission Committee of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, at the earnest solicitation of the Mission Council of Trinidad, and of this Committee, decided, and very promptly communicated their decision, to appoint llev. Mr. Hendrie of San Fernando, a gentleman eminently ciualitied for the position, to a new station at St. Joseph, contiguous to Mr. Morton, thus relieving him of a portion of his field in one direction, so that it may be extended in another. This resolution has been carried into etfect and the missionaries and the whole Church have the satisfaction of engaging in their work for the Indian Immigrants the co-operation of an influential bodj', which for many years has had congregations in Port of Spain, San Fernando and Arouca. Thirdly. Rev. J. K. Wright, of London, Ontario, having offered his services for Couva, and these having been cordially accepted, uemitted his charge in November last, and amidst the tears of hia late congregation, but with their good wishes and prayers, was designated by the Presbytery of London, and sailed from New York with wife and family, in time to reach his field before the New Year, and to enter on his work with the beginning of 1884, which he has done with great zeal and diligence. Fourthly. Mr. Morton with his family returned from the White Mountains to Nova Scotia early h« July much improved, and after a brief rest among friends and relatives, began to speak on the work in Trinidad and to raise funds from willing contributors for two specific objects cordially recom- mended by the Committee —the liquidation of a debt of above one thousand dollars on the Tunapuna buildings, and the providing of one thousand dollars to aid in the erection of a church in Princestovvn. During part of August Mr. and Mrs. Morton were occupied in addressing meetings in the Mari- time Provinces, during September and into October in the West, from Montreal to London, includ- ing Brock ville, Kingston, Belleville, Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph, Gait and London, ending with the good old city of Quebec. Their reception was in all cases courteous and kind, in some, hearty and enthusiastic, the ladies' meetings, addressed by Mrs. Morton, as well as by the missionary, being occasions! of deep interest. Though the pecuniary returns wr- e not sufficient to accomplish all that they desired, yet they had the satisfaction of handing over .151000 to Mr. McLeod for the proposed church in Princestown and lessening the debt on their own premises by about §300. While thanks are hereby expressed to all who helped to make their visit a pleasure and a success, the special cause of gratitude is that Mr, Morton, returned without injury, met and addressed the Maritime Synod, completed after a brief relapse his preparations, left iu the beginning of December, resumed his work in Januar,?, and has been enabled to prosecute it without injury and with decided improvement of health and vigour. These form a series of events for all of which devout acknowledgment is due to the Father of mercies. The Committee record with pleasure a year of usefulness and enjoyment to Mr. Robertson at home. The summer was spent in visiting friends, and co"'" egations too, in P. E. Island, Pictou County, and Cape Breton. Having in October, with ^^c^ssrs. Morton and Christie, met and addressed the Maritime Synod, he proceeded to Montreal, having previously accepted an invitation to speak at the Annual Missiona/y gatherings in that city. His cordial reception, and the generous donations to Mrs. Robertson, and to himself and the cause which he represented, were followed by interesting welcomes and contributions for the benefit of Erromanga, and its missionary from all the congregations visited. During the winter, he gave himself but little rest, and during March and part of A])ril he was incessantly engaged in addressing congregations in the Presbyteries of Wallace and of Truro, deepening the interest in the mission, and relieving the funds by the collections which were cheer- fully given. In this c(ninection it may be stated, that in order to enable Mr. Robertson to bring hia trans- lation of the (lO.spel more perfectly throngh the press, and to give him some farther bentiit fiuni his furlough, the committee cordially actiuiesced in the proposal that it should be extended to October 1st. MISSION TO DEMERARA An Appeal was submitted to tlie last General Assembly for the appointment of a missionary to Indian immigrants in Guiana. The request was from a body of Presbyterians in connectidu with the Churcli of Scotland, and the proposal submitte schools, and buildings, snould be provided there ; the General Assembly providing the man and £200 per annum. The proijosition was entertained, and the Eastern Committee instructed to seek out a man as soon as necessary arrangements could be conq)letud ; while the Wi'stern Commitee were to enjoy the privilege of furniHliing the .£2()0 per annum. Botli have been disapixiinted; the first in securing the num, tlie second in having their funds nnai>{)lied. The arrangements were simple and easily made. Rev. Mr, Slater, of Georgetown, wrote that their wish was tliat the missionary should be guided in his work by a local body called the I'resby- taiau Society, which would correspond, and act in concert with, the Mission Council of Trinidad ; APPENDIX. Ixxi. and as the first step, he, as their agent, suggested that the missionary elect should proceed to Trini- dad and commence the study of the language there, gaining at the same time knowledge of the practical side of missionary life. This Committee cordially approved "of what was proposed ; and believing that the General Assembly would be well satisfied that the Mission Council should repre- sent them in the guidance of the missionary, at once advertized for the man. At the same meeting at which it was determined to advertize, a letter was received from Rev. Mr. Slater, through Mr. Morton, covering a request by F. Crum-Ewing, Esq., of Ardinacaple Castle, Helensburgh, Scotland, for the appointment of a Canadian Missionary to labour mainly, not exclusively, among the Indian immigrants on his estate of " Better Hope," also in British Gruiana. In this case the salary, with perquisites making it equal to the other, was to be provided by Mr. Ewinf. Advertisements for two missionaries were immediately issued but the Committee regret that the offers received were few and chiefly from men who had passed that period in life when a spoken language can be acquired with facility and to perfection. So in the middle of February, the offers which had at first been made to Ordained Ministers and Preachers, were extended to the graduating classes in our theological colleges and the time of receiving offers for the present limited to 7th of May, so that if unsuccessful then, notice should be given to Mr. Ewing, and the situation reported to the General Assembly. At the date named the Committee, after full consideration, agreed ' to report to the General Assembly, that offers had been received from several ministers and others of excellent character, but thao they had not been able to decide on the acceptance of any, and instruc- !(.ns were given to acquaint Mr. Slater, of Demerara, and Mr. Crum-Ewing, with the situation Having thus given a summary of what chiefly occupied the time and attention of the Committee at its meotiugs ; and of occurrences near home, it remains that we visit the missionaries abroad, in- quire briefly how it has fared with them during the year, what they have done, how they are, and what they expect of us. NEW HEBRIDES. il of Trinid "THE DAYSPRINO." Introductory to the work on the New He prides, the young people will learn with satisfaction that their mission vessel has sailed with safety for another year, and has done her work well. More than thirty years ago it was foimd that a boat was as necessary to Dr. Geddie and Mr. Inglis, as a waggon to the Canadian rural minister. The private small boat gave way to the St. Columba of five tons, and she in turn, to the John Knox of 29 feet keel with deck fore and aft. As the Mission extended the Brigantine ' ' Dayspring " was built by the contributions of the respective churches, and sailed from Halifax in 181)3 with three missionaries. Wrecked after ten years of service she was replaced by a Barquentine known as the second " Dayspring." The " Dayspring " is the only regular means of communication between one island and another, and between tha islands and the colonies. She comes to Sydney twice a year for supplies for the mission families ; and she spends several months every year in visiting both those Islands that are Christianized, and those that are still heathen. Ker expenses are about £1,800 a year ; owing to the repairs and re-coppering done last year the expenses amounted to £2,200. These are paid by the united contributions of the Presbyterian Sabbat', schools in New South Wales and the other Australian colonies, in Canada and in Scotland. During the year she has been re-coppered, rigging renewed and re-painted at an outlay of £500 She made hor two regular trips from Sydney to the islands. On her first voyage she carried Mr. and Mrs Murray, and Dr. and Mrs Gunn as passengers. Proceeding n(^r-th, after landing Mr. Annand's supplies. Dr. Gunn visited Futuna where he has been appointed to settle, and Mr. Miinay visited different islands supposed to be open for the reception of a missionary. From Ambrim she returned, bringing the missionaries to Synod at Anelgauhat in June, where a deputation was appointed to assist in the settlement of Mr. Murray at Ambrim, and of Dr. Gunn at Futuna. A fortnight was spent at Ambrim, clearing a site and erecting a house for Mr. Mi'Triiy at Rodd'a anchorage, after which, the " Dayspring " proceeded southwara calling at p]pi, Tongoa, Nguna, Efate, Erromanga, Aniwa, Tanna, Futuna and Aneiteum, and from thence carrying letters and orders, sailed for Sydney arriving in the last week of September. On October 13th, she sailed on her sec(md voyage, carrying Mr. per, and reports by the elders in otion to mission 3ray at Weasisi. olase. Numbers .

Some of them are of an order to claim and to receive Government result fees, three of them are taught by accomplished teachers, all are under Bible instruction, and form a means of Christian education which will tell powerfully in the future of that people. Subsequent notices will show how largely they engross the time and tnought of the missionaries, and use up the funds placed at their disposal ; but they all regard the money thus spent as bread cast upon the waters which will be found even without waiting many days. The Council next furnishes us with a financial table, which presents at a glance, income and expenditure, the sources of the first, the items of the second, under the headings Missionaries' and Catechists' Salaries, School Insurance, Buildings and Incidental. It will be seen that the income from the Church, £1,642 10«,, is nearly equalled by the assistance given by proprietors, when added to the Government aid to schools, the two making £1,627 18s. M. while the sum of £643 8s. lid. derived from native churches, donatione, etc., brings up the total income to £3,904 Is. 5d, stg. Ixxvi. APPENDIX. Income for 1883. imm ': Income. TuN.\pnHA.

The most noticeable thing in this district was the want of its missionary, absent from illness, with his family, from April till the middle of December. The arrangements wisely made for .super- intendence and supply, were faithfully carried out, and the result gladdened the heart of the mi.ssion, ary on hi.s return. Mr. McLeod and his faithful Annagee had made regular visits, and so had Mr. Hendrie, his place being kindly filled at San Fernando by Messrs. Falconer, Ramsay and Vierra- while Miss Semple purchased to herself a good degree, both as a teacher, Christian visitor and woman of business. Mr. Morton reports a teacher's house built at Arouca and a school house to be com- menced ; .$96.50 having been collected for buildings by Mrs. Gercher. The most gratifying fact of all is that Mr. Morton has resumed his charge, and with Mrs. Morton is again conducting his work as usual. Of two stations, Caroni and Curepe, he will be relieved by the settlement of Mr. Hendrie, and this will enable him to undertake more fully the work of the remaining district. SAN FERNANDO— REV. K. J.

PBINCK9T0WN — BKV. J. \V. M'LEOD. By the good hand of his God upon him, Mr. McLeod has been strengthened, and carried through a year of great toil and good success. His .schools have been prospered notwithstanding active oppo- sition from Moslems and Brahmans. Kupendayal of Palmyra, John Lagar, of Brothers School, and Ragnath of Cedar Hill, are among the efficient teachers in this district ; but, in advance of all others, is the Princestown school, so successfully taught by Miss Blackadder. Mr. McLeod also reports an English class at Bon Intente, and a Hindi class at Ben Lomond, with a hand-press, operated by school-boys to add interest and stimulus to ihe whole work. COUVA— REV. J. K. WRIGHT. Though the name of the new missionary '.ppears above, yet the real workers during the past year were Mr. Grant and his assistant Babu Lai Behari, and those in the district willing to do something for the Master. The work, Mr. Grant remarks, was continued in Mr. Christie's lines, with a slight change in the staff, first school work, and beyimd this religious services, to maintain which, without interruption, seemed to be imperative, as the proprietors continued the liberal support formerly given to Mr. Christie. It being undesirable that Mr. Grant should be absent from San Fernando on Lord's Day, the Sabbath service at Couva devolved chiefly on Lai Behari, and the attendance was well sustained. A young native evangelist did good service in visiting the hospitals and making known the truth, and Mr. Grant bears testimony to the good conduct of the little Christian community, in which he and his fellow workmen felt a growing interest. There were 15 baptisms, 9 of the baptized being adults. It would be difficult to determine whether the working force about to be relieved, or the Chris- tian band resident in Couva were most cheered by Mr. Wright's arrival. He and family received a cordial welcome from Mission Council, ])roprietors. Presbytery and people. The new missionary is now fairly at work, holding some five or six services, through an interpreter on the Sabbath, and at the same time diligently preparing to dispense with his aid as soon as possible. As the work opens up before him, he is already calling earnestly for another Catechist, and it is hoped that the call will soon be answered. FINANCES. The whole receipts for the year have been §19,260 58 And expenditure , 19,910 10 Showing an adverse balance on the year of §643 .52 Which added to the balance of last year 932 21 Makes §1,575 73 It will thus be seen that our receipts have been larger by §3,000 than upon any former year, the chief sources being a bequest of .§2,000 from the late Alexander McLeod, of Halifax, hereby grate- fully acknowledged, an interest gift of .§500 being a donation on which interest is payable during the life of (loner and spouse, collections raised by Messrs. Morton and Robertson, in Ontario and Quebec as well as in the Maritime Provinces, and the increased receipts from the Halifax Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, and its auxiliaries, and Juvenile Mission bands of .§1,039.25. Oh the other hand, our expenses have been unprecedentedly large, as the following extras will show. Outfit and travelling expenses of Missionaries , §1,166 67 For New Church in Princestown 1,000 00 Removal of debt on Tunapuna Buildings, including expenses of collecting. 1,184 47 New House for Rev. J. W. McKenzie 486 67 Land a' iirakor 243 33 Benefit to Invalid Missionary 300 00 To this may be added sums given by donors for selected objects, of which the committee are simply carriers, amounting to 1,587 68 Extras and Specials §5,968 82 But might not the over expenditure, have been avoided ? It might, but by what process? By saying : " VVe refuse to sanction a new Church at Princestown ! Rather than assume an obligation which the Church in Canada can easily remove, we will leave Mr. Morton under a burden which he felt to be an incubus and a discourw/cmcnt, during all his homeward voyage ! We will send no missionary to Couva, and show no practical sympathy to our missionaries, weakened in doing what is our work as much as theirs ! We will leave Mr. ^fcKenzie to live in a kraal or hovel, but we shall live ourselves in ease and luxury ! Shall the Committee say to Dr. Steel, our venerable and faithful agent at Sydney, who in an emergency bought, on the advice of friends of the mission, but without waiting for instructions, land at Erakor to save the mission surroundings, and native plantations from passing into the hands of the French, pay it yourself or accept Mr. McKenzie's offer of a voluntary surrender of salary, for the object, involving not only sacrifices now, but for years to come ? Or shall the Committee seize the whole or any part of the sum of §1,587 given for special objects, and Ixxviii. APPENDIX. lit hold it for the prevention of over expenditure ? If the Christian people of this Presbyterian Church in Canada, wish these_ propositions, or any of them acted on, it is hoped that a Committe« may he found fitted for this kind of business. If they do not wish this, they have simply to pay the hill. In truth the increased expenditure, so far as it can bo controlled by the Committee is tht; Ipffiti- mate result of the steady expansion of the mission, and this is cause of rejoicing and thanksgiving to God. This debt s/umld be removed, and without delay, that the Committee may be unfettered, and the miasidnaries relieved from the discouragement, which its continuance involves. In additiim t ) this a house viuitt be provided for Mr. Grant. The Rev. Mr. Grant is on hia way home for rest, after the almost uninterrupted toil of many years, and will it is believed, meet .ind he welcomed by the General Assembly. The welcome which this whole countri/ owes him is a couifdrtable homo to live in, a luxury which he has not enjoyed for years. Probably six hundred con^rpgationn oi this Church have provided their pastors with comfortable manses ; shall the faithful miisionary alone be left in discomfort ? Having noticed a pecuniary benefit from the Woman's Foreign Mission Societies of above one thousand dollars, it should be added that they have expended in missionary objects the farther sum of fo.'jO.Ol, in all $1,389.34. This benefit has been eciualled, if not surpassed, by the kindness .shown, and social welcome extended to the missionaries and their wives and families, when on furlough, followed l)y .sympathizing letters ami benefactions on their return. On their behalf special praise is due to the office-bearers of the society in Halifax. The auxiliarie.s at St. John's an(l Harbour Grace have kindly remembered our Trinidad Miasinn while givini< undiminished aid as heretofore to missions in the East. The Committee have pleasure in acknowledging the continued assistance of the juvenile mission band of Kingston, which through Mi.ss Machar has remitted $300 for the maintenance of Tiiniciad schools, and in their success have their reward. The other friends who have helped us will accept this general tender of hearty thanks. Th*; removal by death of Rev. George Walker, one of the excellent of the earth, and a f )rmer Convenor, if not of this Board of one of its predecessors, has been suitably noticed in the minutes of the Committee, and has deepened in the hearts of its members their sense of obligation to do quickly what they can, and all that they can for the diffusion of the truth, and the advancement (if the Kingilom, and glory of Christ. The work is great and present actors short lived, and it is therefore becoming and imperative that what they do should be done with " their might." Keapectfully submitted, ALEXANDER McLEAN, Chairman.

The Foreign Missionary Committee herewith submit to the Assembly their report of the man- ner in which they have discharged the trust reposed in them ; of the state and prospects of the various mission tields ; of the trials through which the labourers in them have had to pass during the by- gone year ; and of the encouragements which have been vouchsafed to them. Since the last Assembly, three brethren have been sent out as Foreign Missionaries : Rev. Joseph Builder, B.A., Rev. .Tohn Jamieson, and llev. Hugh Mackay. Mr. Builder was ordained as a missionary to India in St. Jainea' Square Church, Toronto, by the Presbytery of Toronto, on 5th Oct., 1883. Mr. Jamieson, having been previously ordained, was designated as missionary to Formosa at Orillia, on 17th Oct., 1HH8. Mr. Hugh Mackay, who had also been previously ordained, was designated aa a missionary to the Indians in the North-West Territories, in St. Andrew's Church, Guelph, on 26th February, 1S.S4. These brethren were not unaware of what they would have to give up in leaving their homes and severing the ties which bound them to friends and kindred. But they went ; and they went willingly. They rejoiced that unto them was " this grace given, that they should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ." Your Committee have nuich satisfaction in informing the Assembly that the "women labouring in the Gospel "in the foreign field are likewise to have one added to their number. Miss H. B.

Her offer of service haa been g'...'.'.y accepted ; and she is heartily commended to the sympathy and contidenco of the Church. I. — MISSION TO THB INDIANS IN THE NOKTH-WEST. Thi"! was the first mission undertaken by the Western Section of the Church. It was in every sense a Foreign Mission when it was undertaken, aw the Ii"^ians to whom the missionaries were sent occupied territory which wa.s then beyond, although it is now embraced within, the limits of Canada. The neadfiuarters of the late Rev. .1. Nesbit, our devoted i)ioneor in this work, were at Prince Albert. In that pla-je and its neighbourhood, owing to changes through the influx of white settlers, there is «nly a remnant of the former Indian ])opulati(m : their children have been faithfully taught by Miss Baker. In regard to the band of heathen Sioux, referred to in last Report, still hanging about the borders of the •"hite settlements, encamping on the mission property from time to time, and even in their own way making 8(nne claim up(m our sympathy, the Rev. W. McW'illiam, who went last year to Prince Albert under the Home Mission C inunittee, and is labouring with much efficiency and acceptance there, writes : " I have, since my arrival in Prince Albert, been many a time exercised in mind about them . . I feel so strongly the reproach, resting especially upon us who live here alongside of those poor creatures, that I cannot help calling attention to their case. When we are engaged in public worship on the Lord's day, we quite frequently hear the beating of their drums, as they are engaged in their idolatrous dances. It is pitiful to hear, after a death has occurred among them, their wailing for those they have lost, and their cries to gods that cannot hear. No one here is familiar with their language ; and it seems to me shocking that these people should live so near us and no effort be made to acquaint them with the true religion." In response to Mr. McWilliam's appeal, the Committee, deeply sympathizing with him in the interest which he ia manifesting in those forlorn Indians, have requested Rev. Hugh Mackay, the newly appointed missionary to the North-West, to be on the out-look among Indian converts or other Cliristians, for some one who might be sent to labour among them. In Mistawassis Reserve there is a considerable settlement of Indians, most of whom formerly lived about Prince Albert. These are under the |).astoral care of Rev. .John Mackay, once Mr. Nesbit's interpreter. There is a school taught by Miss Mackay ; 39 scholars on the roll ; average attendance, 32. For some time during the winter the school was closed, the cold having been extra- ordinary, even for that region. When the thermometer was at 50° (it was once as low as G()°) below zero, children with nothing but thin cotton clothing could not well go a mile or two to scliool or church. Nothing that can be done by friends here to help Miss Mackay and the poor scholars whom she is teaching should be left undone. Mr. Mackay reports : " Number of Presbyterian families on the Reserve, from 30 to 40 ; number of communicants, 32 ; baptisms during the year: aclults 4 ; under fourteen years of age 16 ; marriages, 4 ; deaths, 7. Service as usual twice every Sabbath ; one regular service during the week ; occasional services at a distance from the main station ; many pastoral visits, besides visits to the sick and dying." At Okanase, the Rev. Mr. Flett supi)lies six stations. But he was away from his own special field ot labour from the middle of November till the end of March. During that time, as Professor Hart informs us, he supplied the three Reserves in the neighbourhood of Fort Pelly, holding service regularly at five stations, and occasionally at three other places, speaking in English, French or Cree, as best suited his audiences. The population on these Reserves is 630 ; number of commun- cants, 34. Mr. Flett was much encouraged by the kindly manner in which he was received by the people, and by the interest they took in his services. He speaks very gratefully of the kindness shown him by Mr. McBeth, H. B. C. officer in charge of Fort Pelly. It has been suggested by the Manitoba Presbytery, that Mr. C. G-. Mackay should be placed in charge of the Fort Pelly and Crow Stand Reserves as a missionary, for the summer. The Committee have had under consideration the suggestion of the Manitoba Presbytery about the expediency of ordaining Mr. C. G. Mackay, and they regard the matter as well worthy "' the serious attention of their successors in office. The Rev. Solomon Tunkansuiciye is minister in the Sioux Res,i-ve, at the junction of the Assiniboine and Bird-Tail Creek. "I have every reason to believe," says Professor Hart, "that the mission on this reserve is in a fairly prosperous condition." An English school has been opened upon this Reserve, from which much good is anticipated. It is to be supported in the manner mentioned in the Report of last year, one-half of the teacher's salary being met by the Indian Department and the other half by your Committee. T'-.a Presbytery of Manitoba was authorized to select a teacher, andthey appointed Mr. .T. (x. Burgess, v,hom they regarded as well qualified for the position. Mr. Burgess gives a carefully jjreparod list of his scholars, with the name and age of every one. The number is thirty ; their ages are from three to twenty-three— average age fifteen. From the habits of the people and their want of system, he has, as might be expected, many difficulties to contend with ; but he says that, on the whole, he has been much interested in his winter's work. Of Mr. Herchmer, Indian Agent, he says : " I have found him very kind and ready to help me in every possible way." The people, he says, are busy (May 14) with their farms and gardens ; they have sufficient seed, and they are likely to be in every way better than they were lasL year. He finds some very pleasant families among them, and regrets that, owing to his imiier- fect knowledge of their language, he cannot speak to them as he would wish. He hopes in a short time to overcome that difficulty. Then follows a jiaragraph which your Committee feel should be di'oply and prayerfully pondered : "What a pity it is that there are no Christian ladie? out here to take an interest in the Indian women ? I think it would do them more good than anytldn,; else." In appointing Mr. Hugh Mackay, your Committee was enabled to take a step which they anticipate will result in much good to the Indian work. He is expected, as soon as he has made him- self sufficiently familiar with the Cree language, to select a field which may be his chief point for missionary labour, but to pay an annual visit to each of the Indian mission fields in the North-We.st and to supply to the Committee detailed information in reference to the state and prospects of the unply work, and to cheer and encourage the labourers in work which is so much isolated. Ixxx. APPENDIX. Mr. Flt'tt and Mr. Hii^h M.ickay intend settinj? out immediately (so saya Prof. Hart, May 2Hnl) for the IJestTvcH at Crookt'd and licinnd Lakes, near Hroadview. !Mr. Mackay was d('li^,'Iltt■(l with the siiiipli; sci\iie« in Mr. Flett's little conKre^iation at Okana.-ie, and with their Hinj,'iiii,' of livinns in the Indian tongue to tnni's with which he had lieen all his life familiar. He is full of enthiisiiism about his iniH.-ioii. When labouring in the work of the Home Mission in Manitoulin Island, he was brought much into contact with the Indians there, and he was so much interested in thfin, anil sn impressed with a sense of their need and of their claims niion us, that he was led to dcvotf to work among their, or their kindred the service of ids life. During the absence of Mr. Flett from Okanase, Donald McVicar, who is e.\i)ecteressed a de.sire to follow the liord of Hosts." Thousands of our people were intensely interested in this statement. Thousands of hearts beat responsive to his appeal in which he said to the I'resbyterian Church in Canada, " Give us especially for the erection of ten new chapels two thousand five hundred dollars. For (Jod's sake don't refuse, and don't delay." Scarcely had the letter reached our shores ere Dr. Mackay had the telegram in reply, "The money will lie sent." And it was sent accordingly. Without any special solicitation, ccnitrihutions came in from iudiviuual donors, from Women's Societies, ami from Sabbath schools, sutKcient for the erection of eleven chapels, with a lil)eral surplus to Ix; applied to the support of native preachers. .\fter the lapse of a few weeks, another appeal came from Dr. Mackay. A telegr.am was received from him ; ".Send Jamiesou at once." " .Tamieson " responded to the appeal, offering himself heartily for this great work. He and Mrs. -Tamieson are now engaged in the mission at Tamsiii. Respecting their arrival there, l)r. Mackay writes : " They stepped on the shores of Formosa, cheer- ful, hi>i)eful, ami humble. We are all delighted with them. I congratulate the C'hurch in Canaila.'' Mr. .Tamieson s|)eaks for himself and Mrs. Jamieson as follows : " Dr. and Mrs. .Mackay have shown us very great kindness ; and full provision has been made for our comfort, and for assisting us in acquiring the language. Wu had expected to find groat success in the mission work here, hut the result has more than realized our e.xpectaticms. The girls' school and Oxford College are both substantial buildings, and, for quality of material and elegance of finish, would be a credit to any of the cities of Ontario. .Ml the native preachers and a great many converts are expected to L pre- sent at the opening of the girls' school. Numbers of the latter have arrived here during the last few days, having walked, some four, and some six days' journey. Most of them are from amonir those Aborigines who have lately cast away their idols, and among whom the eleven new chajiels are being liuilt. We liave often wished that many dear friends in Canada could hear what we have been hearing duriu'' the last few days — the voices of those lately sunk in heathenism joiniiii,' together in singing the [-raises of the true and living (Jod." Tiie girls' school has since been oi)eneng, we wejit ; but we "ni.u went on our way, shouting glory to Him who took His servant away to i!ie home in heaven. The students are also marking the grave of a companion who lies no.ar Tamsui, wi o([uietly breathed his last, trusting in our Risen Saviour. Twenty- four of the converts have been removed bv I'.eath, every one of whom passed away glorying in (iod. For all these things, yea, for everything we have and .are, let Almighty God be praised. 'If God bo for us who can be against us ?' How humble it becometh us to be — how ready to die if need be for .Tesus of Nazareth ! " In a letter of date March 24, we are told of a tour throughout that portion of the mission field not referred to in the previous communications : "Since I last wrote, Mrs. Mackay and I have visited every chapel on the West side of our field, and have (including those previously visited) gone through APPENDIX. Ixxxi. nearly every hamlet, ti>wii, and city in Northern ForrnoHa. During this last tour, I baptized thirty- two ; go that we have now in all eleven hundred and tweiity-ei^'ht (1128) nieniliers. Of that nuniher I have baptized six Imiiclred and sixty two (tJGll) this year. Vestonlay we opened a lai^'e, handsome, and subtantial church in Banf;-Kah. We own the site now, as well as the maKuificent new building. Thanks to Mrs, Mackay (Windsor) and all the other fivers. Mr. and Mrs. .Tamieson were present, and we were riKht glad to see them. You will be jflad to know what e.\i^ellent companions we have in them ■■ ^nve them time to aciiuife the language, and pray for us all. I preached four times in Bang-Kah tit a jaminnt house. Air. and Mrs. .lamiesou then went to Tamsui to speak in Knglish to the few foreigner8j)resent. We preached the unsearchable riches of Christ. () lilessed (Jospel of hope and peace. Let us praise the Ijord, praise llitn forever. Let us trust in Him, fighting the good tight of faith, warring a good warfare, fearing nothing, imtil we lay down our armour, and mount on high to see our home above." Your Committee liave considered it aang-Kah is quite near the si)ot where a few years ago the Mission building was pulled down by furious rioters. The connection of this with the medical work is thus brought out ; " One of che then mob has given great assistance in putting up the new building, grateful no doubt for relief which I gave to one of his near relatives who was suffering from fever. Thus it will be h3en that thousandB are literally cured, or at least relieved, every year in North Formosa by all our combined agenci»fi. We gather fruit even now, but there is an enormous harvest in store for us. ' Hoal the sick ' was i)art of the grandest commission ever heralded around this vast domain. ' Hoal the sick '--not now by niiraculous power, but by the power of agencies found in depths and heights, in soils and seas, in trees and flowers, yea, in all the stupendous wonders which the great Architect of the Univeriie G Ixxxii. APPENDIX. launched forth within an^l around the present abode of frail man. ' Preach the Gospel ' and ' heal the sick, ' until this oM empire, asleep for af,'es, will awake, arise, and shake herself from the tilth and du .t of ij,'niirance and superstition, and fill all the land with Hospitals and Christian Institutions, and then emjoy the meridian splendour of that sun which is now appearing above the dim horizon."

Itinerancy lias extended as far as Kurgoon, over 60 miles south of Mhow ; Burwanie, about 80 miles south-west ; .and Sunlapur, about 55 miles west. It is indeed interesting and encourpging to the missionaries t'> hoar, as they have heard, fro'n one and another, when the sin of their idolatry was brought home to their consciences, the sad statement, " Ah ! but we did not know, we never heard of this before;" and then, when the way of salvation through Jesus Christ was patiently explained, the joyful exclamation, "I see it now." But it is most trying to them to bear in luiiul that a vear, i)erhaps, miist elap?e liefore the}' can see those anxious enquirers again.

They are both earnest labourers.

" Leaving him alone," Mr. Campbell says, "the only Christian for many miles, I felt scunewhat nnxious al)out him ; but I have heard gooil accounts of him from time to time." Mr. Middleton continues, as heretofore, to render good service in teaching and preaching. The girls' scho(d at Mhow has been successfully carried on by the ISIiaaes Stockbridge, although they have greatly iiicre.ased res|)onsibility and work thrown upon them through Mrs. Cami)beirs absence.

Changunabai " Najoo " The work of the Mission at this important station has been prosecuted in the f.ace of much diffi- culty and opposition. In the jmrtion of the city where the missionaries reside, which is directly under British authority, they enjoy, for the most i>art, full freedum ; but in the jiative city, where the mass of the people to whom thev desire to carry the Gospel live, the Durbar has continued to oppose their work, and has sought ui every way possible to prevent tlie peoi)le from listening to them. The people however are friendly, and wherever they are permitted they listen with interest to the instructions of the missionaries. In last report it was mentioned that, in view of the attitude of the Agent-Governor-General at Indore, the missionaries had felt it necessary to jietition the Viceroy, tlie Marquis of Kipon, to liave that freedom secured to them in the, ]irosecutiiin of their work in Indore, wliich the native authorities freely ciuicede to those of the Mahomniedan and otlier faiths. The response to this iippeal, tliough less definite than could be desired, is such as to awaken thehoiie that the British authorities are prepared to exert their influence to secure a ineasiu-e of lilierty to the missionaries in dependent States, which will lie priictically sufficient for their work. Your Committee have lenrned with sjjccial satisfacticni that the missionaries have lieen assured by the .\^'ent Governor-CJeueral that "he will take an early opportunity of pointing out to the Indore Durbar the immunity from molest.ation which obtains in liritish India in regard to missionary work." They are encouraged to hofie that such an influential representation, cordially pressed ui)on the r)urhar, will certainly issue in the concession to the missionaries nf an amount of lilierty sufficient fur the successful ]ir(iseention of the mission. They have expressed to ^Messrs. Wilkie and Can^|)bell ttieir deep symiiathy with them in the difficulties wliich they have had to encounter in seeking that lilierty for missiiuiary work in Indore which is now almost universally conceded throughout the civilized world, and liave assured them that they will, to the extent of their ability, support them in any suitable efforts which circumstances may render necessarj', in order to secure all due freedom for missionary labour. Notwithstanding all the annoyances to which they have been subjected, it is most gratifying to tind that our missionaries are not dejected nor downcast. They are niimlful of the aduKinition, " Be strong, and of a good courage." In a letter, of date April '_', Mr. Wilki(> writes, " I am glad to say that !uy work is very encouraging just now." In a letter, of date March bf, Mrs. Builder writes, "Wiiiie we were in Indore, Mr. Builder got some insight into much of .Mr. Wilkio's work, and saw that, notwithstanding the opposition ho has had to contend with tor months, he has much to encourage him. Frec|uently Hindoos ami Mahommedaus come to the services hebl in the church for Christians, and listen attentively. NVe visited .Miss Maciiregoi s school, and were delighted with her bright pupils whom we heard reading their lessons, reciting rlieir Scripture verses, and singing their hymns." That the hopes which they cherish are not without foundation will appecir from the following considerations : In regard to the struggle for liberty in which they are engaged, they have the sympathy and iiioral support of the most inttuential and experienced missionaries in India, wlm thorouglily tinder- stand the "situation," and recognize the vital im(iortance of the interests involved As to their own work in the mission, the interest manifested in their religious services is con- tinuing, and e\eii increasing. " On Salibath niorniiijf they liave their school, Miss MacCJregor tiiking the wi>iiien. Miss Ross the Knglish-speaking children. Miss Ibidger the native boys, with a number from the outside whom she has iiiducereacliiiig or teaching in some other part of the city or camp. At the Sabbath evening services in the church, in addition to the usual Christian community, there are always others present ; the «hurch ha» ofkun been crowded. The Thursday evening prayer-meeting is attended m much ti»e Ixxxiv. APPENDIX. rf same way as the Sabbath evening services. Every morning and evening, some of the workers go to the villages round about t) preach, or, where that is prohibited, to speak with in;tividuals in their homes. There are at present ten applicants for b.xptism who have not yet been received, but who are giving good evidence of their earnestness and sincerity. Ealaram and Govind Rao rejjort interesting cases of inquirers after the way of salvation in dis- tricts which they have visited. Yeshwant Rao, who has been for five months studying in the Theological class already referred to, is proving himself, at Indore, a diligent and faithful worker. Besides schools in the city of Indore, taught by Narayan and Chanoo, one was opened a year ago at Oojain, a city of 40,000 people, ;5() miles distant. Oojain, being one of the most (so-called) holy as well as most neglected cities of India, affonls a grand field for both educational and evangelistic work. Many, among the crowds that frequent Oojain to bathe ".nd to worship, might hea. the truth which makes wise unto salvatiim. The school has been taught by Raiiojee Janojee, who has also sold books and tracts, and, as opjjortunity was afforded him, preached the Word. Two nev/ features in tlie work at Indore your Committee regard with special interest. The first is a movement in the church tiiere towards defraying the expenses of their own congregation, looking after their poor, providing papers for the Sabbath school, etc.; and what is yet more signifi- cant, they have resolved to send out two of their number as missionaries to some destitute locality, they themselves bearing all the expenses connected with the mission. The second is the instituVion by Mr. Wilkie, of a monthly meeting of cathechists, teachers and helpers, at which written reports of work done during the previous month are received ; examinations on prescribed subjects are held ; and difficulties occurring to them in their study of the Scriptures, or experienced by them in their endeavours to instruct the people, are, as far as possible, explained and removed. The.se, in the midst of so much that is calculated to discourage, are surely decided indications of progress. In Miss MacGregor's department, besides the ordinary work done among heathen women and children, attention has been specially given to the training and instructicm of native Christian women, asBUile-readers and teachers. A normal class lias been carried on under the superintendence df Misa MacGregor, as.'^isted by a thoroughly qualified native master. Eleven pupils have attended this class; four of them (women) are teaching in the day schools connected with the mission. The following are the statistics of the work Tinder Miss MacGregor : No. of day schools. 4 ; No. of children enrolled, 113 ; average daily attendance, 72 ; No. of teachers employed, 4 ; No. of Bible women employed, 2 ; Zenanas visited, 35 ; No. of villages visited, 3 ; attendance at Sabba;.h school (1) 14. Miss Ross says, " In many of the Zenanas, the women are willing to hear the Bible read, and •ome say, ' Yes, that is the true Word.' I have two schools ; the average attendance at one bein^ ten, and at the other thirteen. Efforts are made to keep the scholars from coming, but still they like to attend ; and we trust that, through our heavenly Father's blessing, many of them will soon be led to lay „side their superstitions ani give their hearts to Jesus," Miss Rodger has not much to report, only about three months having elapsed since her return from Canada to her field of labour. But the girls' school under her care is already better attended than it has ever been ; and she has been welcomed back by the women whose houses she formerly visited, and invited to their homes again. Negotiations have been entered into for the purchase of a house as a residence for the lady mis- aiimaries. They themselves, as well as the Mission Council, think that the house in question is a desirable place ; that, in the meantime, it would suffice for three, and that, with some alterations and additions, it would comfortal)lv accommodate four ladies. The funds generously jilaced at the disposal of the Com- littee ])y the Woman's Foreign Mission Society are available for this purpose. They would almost over the necessary outlay, even in the event of the ])roposed additions being made. The Committee have authorized the Mission Council to purchase this building as a residence for the lady missionaries. Mr. Builder well says : " It should be borne in mind that we have a highly intellectual and con- servative race to win over to Christianity. 1'his is no easy task. To accomplish it, and make the work both successful and permanent, their systems of thought must be understood, and met by ;i deeper and more satisfying one ; and they must be taught to look with hojMi to the future rather th:in to the past. What then do we need to carry this out? More Christian men are required for litcviiry work for that purpose ; and a library has been suggested for their use, containing all the works needed for consulting purposes ; schools .also are rcfpiired, both primary and a.lvanced. v.herein n thoughtful anil earnest ministry may be trained. One of the latter class should be establisheil p,s soon as possible. These agencies to siqiport and supply a large number of devout evangelicil preachers woiild make our work here of an enduring character. When the time comes to ask liuvp things of the Chiircli at home, nay we not look for a hearty response, that Central India may he Christ's ? " In view of these great and |>ressing claims, what can we say? " Hod be merciful unto us, and bliH-i us, and cause His face to shine upon us ; tl'.at thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving iiealth among all nations." STATI.'-?. VL TABLK. Mhow.

The Committee, as instructed by the Assembly, very carefully considered the propriety of entering upon Missionary work in Japan. After full discussion, the conclusion was arrived at, that, owing to the inadequately equipped state of its existing niissicms and the urgent appeals for increased assistance to these, it would be inexpedient to enter upon a new mission to the heathen. The Com- mittee, however, are keei)ing this matter in view, and using means to obtain information about openings for work in .Tai)an and about the probable expense of maintaining a mission there. The Assembly instructed the Committee to consider during tlie year what provision should be made by the Church for Missionaries who have been permanently disabled. This important subject has been remitted to a sub-committee who are giving it their best attention, but who have not yet been able to present such a report as the Committee would be prepared to recommend for adoption by the Assembly. The Assembly likewise instructed the Committee to consider the " unification of the committees of the Eastern and Western sections." Your Committee do not see it to be practicable to carry this immediately into effect ; but their way may be made clearer when, in accordance with the Assembly's instructions, tlie subject is discussed at a joint meeting during the Assembly of this year. Communications were received from Dr. Paxton, " Convener of the Committee of the Presby- terian Council, U.S. on Foreign Missions," and Dr. Houston, " Convener of the Foreign Mission Committee of the Southern Presbyterian Church, " concerning the best practicable method of carry- ing out the scheme of co-oporation among the Missionaries of the Reformed Churches in the Foreign field, as siiggested by the Pan-Presbyterian Council." In one of those, views were presented of methods by which all the native Presbyterians in any mission field might bo brought into one organization. These communications were answered to the effect that, though their experience has been so limited that they have had no ojiportunity of forming any definite views or plans in reference to this matter, they are thoroughly convinced of the importance of ascertaining and acting upon the best practicable methods of co-operation, and heartily williig to use all suitable means in order to so desirahle an end ; and that they will readily take part in any such correspondence or conference as may tend to secure co-oporation in foreign mission fields. The Convener was requested by the Conunittee to visit our Colleges in Ontario and Quebec for the purpose of addressing the student."* and seeking to increase their interest in Foreign Missions. This work was rendered easy and ) feasant by the ai)probation of the heads of the Colleges and the cordial welcome extended to him by the students. No one could visit Knox, Queen's, or Montreal College, and co.ifer with the students, without being convinced that, besides serving the special pur- pose for which they aie all maintained, every one of them is a great centre of missionary influence and effort, and that much evangelistic work is accomplished by the "Students' Missionary Societies " which without them conM not be overtaken. Even Morrin College in the city of (Quebec— little known in many parts of the Chiu'ch— sends out its men far and wide into the surrounding country. Many in destitute regions hear fr(mi them the Gospel of the Kingdom, who would otherwise enjoy no such blessed privilege. Morrin, with its eight young men stutlying for the ministry, and ten yet midetermined as to their future, is a true Protestant school, " holding forth the word of life : " its professors and students are entitled to the sympathy of the Church, FOREIGN MISSION FUND, 1883-4.

The Committee have received from the Kxecutors of the late Edward Mackay, Esq., of Montreal, the sum of ten thousand dollars, lieing a legacy from that gentleman, so well known during his life as a liberal benefactor of the Church. It has been agreed that this sum should be set aside as a Reserve Furd, to be expended at the rate of §2,000 or $2,500 per annum, as circum- stances may require. The Report of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society(\Vestern Section) is not yiit to hand ; but, from the Secretary your Committee learn, with much pleasure, that there are now, zo f>\e as reported, upwards of 2,500 members, including 16 life members ; six Presbyterian Societies ; sixteen Mission Bands ; and eighty-nine auxiliary societies. The Auxiliaries have, during the past year, con- tributed SG,0G8 ; and the Mission Bands, $1,285 ; making, with sundry dcnations, proceeds of col- lection at annual meeting, and balance from last year, a total of §7,800 (seven thousand eight hundred dollars). This sum will meet their estimate for expenditure for the year. The Woman's Foreign Mission Society of the Presbytery of Kingston continues to do good service in the cause of Foreign Missions. Besides other contributions, it has raised $250 for the erection of a chapel in Formosa in memory of the late Mrs. Machar, its beloved and honoured President. Over and above^ the large amounts contributed by those societies, the fact of so many Christian women in all p:;rts J of the land meeting from month to month, for conference and prayer in connection with Foreign^ Mission work, is calculated to exert an influence which cannot be easily estimated. -^ On a review of the whole year, your Committee feel that the Church may well look back with gratitude to the past, and forward with hope to the future. " The Lord hath been inindful of us : He will bless us." " A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a "strgng nation." In due time the voice shall be heard proclaiming through earth and heaven, " The kingdoms of this wurM are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever." All of whii h is respectfully submitted. THOMAS WARDROPE, Convemr. REPORT OF THE JUVENILE MISSION SCHEME FOR THE YEAR ENDING APRIL 30, 1884. The receipts of the Juvenile Mission scheme are this year considerably less than last yeas, % decrease which is probably due in part to a current impression that the scheme did not continue on the same footing as formerly. The schools at Indore and Trinidad, as well as the other objects of the scheme have, however, received a i> 'v amount of support from a number of the former supporters of the scheme. The Committee of the Juvenile Mission scheme desire to repeat the strong recommendation made last year, for the reorganizat'on of the scheme on a more satisfactory footinic. Tliey desire, in doing so, to expre.ss their strong conviction that the existence of a scheme which should fairly repie- sent the missionary contributions of our Sabbath schools as a whole would be a luost valuable agent in training the children to an intelligent and active interest in our mission schemes. They would also urge the good effects in this direction of presenting, as far as possible, certain detinite objucts of a kind to drawfoith their sympathy and interest, and with which they could be placed in immediate correspondence, so that they may have the stimulus and satisfaction of knowing what they themselves are doing to bring others to the light and hope of the Gospel. Efforts for the education of other children are, of course, especially appropriate to the ciiildren of our privileged Sabbath schools at home. The Committee would therefore reconiniend that, while the oliJHcts at present cared for continue to be supported by the Sabbath schools to which they are now assigned — the contributions being sent hereafter direct to the Treasurers of tlie several Schemes— other objects suitable for interesting children should, as far as i)ii.-isible, lie suggested for their support, and that the Juvenile Mission Scheme be so enlarged as to include all the contri- butions of our Sabbath schools to our Home Missions and French Missions, as well as to our Foreign Missions— that to this end the Treasurers of the different schemes should keep a separate page for the contributions of the children ; that these should lie separately acknowledged in the /'trxlji/iiridu Ilcrord, and that they should be separately tabulated and consolidatetl as the eliildren's work, in tiie Minutes of the Assembly. This would V)robably require a separate Secretary to tabulate the recei[)ts, draw up a brief rei)ort, and act as a medium for communicating any necessary information to Sabbath schools or other agencies ; but there would no longer be any occasion for a separate Treasurer or Sub-Committee. For the full prosperity of such a scheme, the interest and co-operation not only of tho vari'ius Mission Boards, but also of the ministers and superintendents of Sabbath schools is necessary ; and it is 8i)ecially commended to their care and attention, as a means not only of drawing fortl) the liberality of Sabbath schools, but of educating the children of the Church to take a warm, intelligent, and active interest in her various and imi)ortant missionary enterprises. All which is respectfully submitted. iAGNES MAULE MACHAR, Secretary/. Ixxxviii. APPENDIX. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. By Whom Contributed. Place. Object or Orphan. Orphanage or Place.

There is a trrowinj:; determination with ultramoTitanists not only to preserve the Fnnili nationality essentially sejiarate fioni the lift; of the Dominion, but also to make it whoiiv Roman (Jatholic. A consiiieuous illustration of this is furnished i)y the faet that the iiatiinnil f(;te of St. Jean liaptiste. which is to lie ohserved durinj^ this month with unusual imiuii, and at a larj,'(' exiuiiditure of movicy for orniiniental dress, etc,, is comjiletely under ecelesiiisti( aj control. It is made reli^'ious rather than national, and one urancl imjiosini,^ feature is tn lie the public celebiiition of Hiith Mass (in the summit of Mount U(nal overhiokinu' .Mdntu al city. For this reiison all liberal Cathdlics and Ficnch I'rocestants are e.xcludvd and stigmat- ized as unworthy ofaplaci; amonj,' their own fellow-countrymen. It is not surprising that this is giving rise to keen discussion and even intense bitterness of feeling. 4. The legislatme of Quebec is being more and more controlled by ultramontanists, and made subservient to ecclesiastical purjjosi's. The recent notorious Lottery Bill may be neii- tioned as an cxamjile of this .'-ort. It is well known that fo* several years shameless and |>i i- sisteiit efforts have been made by a prominent jiriest and his frienc' ' to secure the eiWK tun m of a bill by wliii h a wholesale systiin of gambling, nstensibly for p, ijioses of colonizatimi inider the control of the churtdi, might be established, and it is impossible to say how sonn they may be successful in fastening this public immorality and deep stain of infamy iipmi our country. I'lUt while directing attention to these alarming features of the liekl of operation, the l)oard have, as in form(;r years, very much of an encoiua'riug nature to report. In spite of the intoleraiue of the hierarchy, or jierhaps as the fruit of it in some measure, French I'rotestaiits are gradually rising into |ironiinence and inthieiice among their comiiatriots, and are rectdviii;.' vaiious tokens of recognition whi( h were rigorously withlield from them in the jiast. Tlieii ranks are strengthened from time to time, not only by cduverts, but also by atcessioiis fidiii the old world. There are at this moment in Montreal over one bundled souls from the I'm- vince of Alsace, more than one-half of whom are T'"testants. The number of educated jier- sons holding jiositions of trust and usefulness ' Ladily increasing, and these liiid it easy tn mingle with liberal-minded lioman Catholics and impress them for good. Among this ehi.'^.s there is a strong iKsire to avail themselves of the superior educational advantages olVercd by Protestant schools; and those who have worked their »vay up to our universities have aliuost invariably distinguished themselves as students of the first rank, and it is gratifying to liu able to add that the greater number of such have been connected with the ell'orts of this Board. As in former 3 ears the work of the Board has been carried on by means of tlirue ageucie.-!, viz : colportage, mission schools and preaching stations. COL PORTAGE. ■\\'liile all the luissionaries of the lioaid are collected to spend a portion of tludr tiiii'' iu visiting thi; liouses of Ilonian Catholics in their respective districts, with a view to (iisseiniiiatt.' copies of Cod's word, there arc emiiloyd a class of men whose distinciive work it is te l;ii from iionse to house distributing the 'vord of life. This is a work re(piiring great tact and prud(.:ine, untlinching zeal and earnest devotion to the Master on the iiart of those who wniild successfully prosecute it. Moving often amiil scenes where calumny and fierce derision iiutt them at every step, or dismissed rudely from many a door, they have to listen to much that touches and wounds their Christian sensibilities at the teiiderest iioint, in tlu; blasphemii'> that assail not only the book of books, but the name whii h is above (.;very Jiame. They are often taught liy liitter experience wliai it is to sow in tears ^he seeds jf the Gospel. It has been found ditlicult to iirocure the services of suitable men in siuh irimbers as the Hoard desire. In answer to advertisements and in response to lett(.'rs addresse(i to missinii- aries and others, many applications were received, but the Board resolved rather to emidoy a small number of tried men than risk the aiipointment of those who did not seem to posse-;.'" the recpiisite qualifications for 1 ho position. The wisdom of such a policy becomes iiKH'e apparent from year to year. The number of colporteurs employed was somewhat less tliaii during last year, there being 11 engaged in the work.

Excepting a few cases, we seldom have had a better lot of scholars, and we can but thank the Lord for the; great blessings tluit He has bestowed upon the scliool during this session. The staft'of teachers remains the same as last year, with the exception of Miss HIair, who resigned and was replaced by Aliss Cameron, whose services are highly appreciated. Tlie session was closed on the 'J8th of April by a public examination conducted by ihl'mi- biTS of the Board of French Evangelization, and at which were jiresent a large numhei' of friends from Montreal who came down by a steamer chartered for the ociasion. At the close of the exeriis( s, presided over by Principal Macvicar, hope was expressed by some of those present that, iri the interest of the work, these old buildings which have rendered most valu- able services will soon be replaced by new ones, larger and better adapted to our woik.

As stated in reports of former years, after deducting the fees i)aid by the pn|>ils, and expense of repairs, etc., thi' avcnage cost to the church of each pupil is about Sr)ii per session. The Board are most anxious that the institutions should he supported by means of scholiii- ships of S50 each, guaranteed by private individuals or by sabbath schools. A jiarticular pupil is assigned to the donor of a sdiolarshiii, to whom refjorts as to the progress maile are tor- warded from time to time. In this way a sabbath school, contributing a scholarshiii, is put directly in corresi)ondence with the mission school, and the letters, if read jjublicly to the sabbath school, tend to keej) up their interest in the work. Moreover, the school can, every sabbath, remember by 7ianie, in its prayers, the [)upil it supports, and can scarcely fail itself to receive benefit by being thus directly brought into contact with the pupil educated by means of its missionary contriluitions.

The Rev. Dr. Moore, convener of the Ottawa Presiiytery's French committee, tlius rejiorts eoneerning the work within that rreshytcry. As it presents a fair idea of tlie work, as carried en in the several I'roshyteries where there are French missions, the report is given in full ; — In the Ottawa Prcshytery the wcuk of FicikIi evane-eli/.ation is carried on in live districts' ill which there are ten stations or preaching jdaces where se''vice is regulaiiy held. (1.) In Ottawa and Hull the Rev. M. .Ami has hc<'ii constantly ciiiployed. .\s his reports tor the year are in the hands ot'tlie I'oard. it is suliicicnt to say that the prospects of his work are brighter just now than for some time past. The cottage iiieetinirs have been well attended liy both Protestants and Roman Catholics, and have provi d interesting to those present. Tenders are advertised for, and as soon as possible, tlie work on the new chiiiv h building will be commenced. Suitable church accommodation has long been a crying iit;ed of tin; French congregation here, and it in lioped that the commodious and elegant luiildiiig imw under way will prove to the advantage of the work in many ways. (2.) The Rev. .1. A. Vernon has ]ir(a(]icd ngularly in Mashain during the \ear, and has (lone miicli in the way of distributing bonks and tracts. Tlu' school, which had falb'ii into ,in unsatisfactory state, received much attention, and is now in a thriving condition, and well iittciided. So determined was Mr. \'eriion to have the children taught, that otti'ii ho took his own horse and sleigh, and went fnuii house to house to laing the childn-n to si'hool, and after sciiool carried them back to their homes. A student missionary has charge of the school for this Slimmer. (3.) L'Ange Ciardieii, Perkins and Ripon are tlie stations in the licld occupied by Mr. r. S. Vernier. Some idea of his labors may be formed by reiiieinbering that Peridns is eighteen miles from L'Ange tiardieii to the north-west, whih' llipon is about thirty miles iVoin li',\iigo tliirdieiito the north-east. Mr. Vernier lueaches every siinday nioining at 1/Aiigc (iirdieii. and (>very Sunday al'teinoon at Perkins and Riiiou alternately. At L'Ange (Jardieii there are I'.xcelleiil s 'If-siipporting schools. The school at Perkins is the only one in the iiiunici|iality, and is atti'iided by a large uunilnr id' Roman Catholic children. At this station there have ln'cn decided signs of inU'rest in our wiuk. The number of persons attending the service awakened in some of the iieighborH u feeling of jealousy and opposition, which found e.xpriission in an act of lawlessness. During the night, ufter one of tlie meetings, some person or persons vented their spite against him by seriously ini'iing his cutter with a saw. The act, however, not only failed to do harm to Mr. Vernier's work, but ( ailed out stiiiiii;' expn'ssions of sympathy from many of the Roman ('atholics of the place, who ottered ti.' pa> the damage done, and gave him very pleasing assurances ni their good feeling toward himself. His longiegations have been larger evi'r siiuc. lie regards a little persecution as rather a good thing for the cause. At Ripon the Presbytery has built a, neat and i (iintortable house, which answers the d lubh- piiipose of chilli h and s converts. Some time ago the It. ('. I'.ishop when making a tour of the County visited one of our stations, and held a meeting with those who had becoiui' ± reshyterians. He offered to restore them tcj the jirivileges of the chiu'cl> for twenty-tive cents a piece. An old man — tJic l^itiiarch of tlie little settlement rose and said resi)ectfnlly, but firmly, 'Sir, we are ]ioor ami have no money to give. We are I'resbyterians, and if w(i liad any money we would give it to the Presbyterian Cliurcli.' One of o)ir converts married his cousin, who is still a Romanist. The ceremony liad been performed by a Protestant minister. The priest told the couple they were not married, beeause cousins could only be married by sjierinl license, and that a Protestant minister could Udt marry a Catholic and a Protestant. He also tohl her if she continued to live with her Imsband he would not give her the rites of the church ; that he wotdd denounce her to all lu'r neii;li- bovs as a bad woman, and finally told her to leave her husband, and he would find her another good man, to whom he would marry her. 'i'he residt of the priest's talk was that this |inor Woman's conscience was greatly disturbed, and the family was in danger of being broken up. The man in his tlistress apjilied to Mr. Vernier for advice, and he was able to say, on the authority of a lawyer: — 1. Tlie nuirriage is perfectly Ic.gal. 2. If tlut wife leaves she can lie prosecuted lor wilful desertion. H. If she should marry again during the life of her presiiit liusbantl she would be guilty cf bigamy. And, 4. That if the i)riest continued his talk in sm li a way that it could be proved, he could be prosecuted for defamation of character. Since then there has been peace in the house. The out-look for the future is hoiieful. We want schools and colporteurs. If the church throughout Ontario knew tlie work as it is; if our jieople would only take in the facts in the Assembly repf)rts, surely both men and money foi' these i)uri)osem would be t'orthcoming. It seems a pity to be unable to improve the opportunity for which we have watched and waited so lon.t;. WM. MOOIIK, Cunn-ii'-r. Ott.vwa, May 2' th, 1884. iM1s('i<;li..\m-;(Uis.

Tour Committee on the Distribution of Probationers have to report that the first quarter of \he year bega.i with a Koll of eleven Probationers and forty-four vacancies, including those asking no supply through your Committee. The second quarter began with a Roll of twelve Probationers, and forty-nine vacancies, of which fourteen askecl for no probationary suppl}' ; the third quarter with a Roll of ten Prob^Lloners and fifty vacancies, sixteen of which asked for no supply ; and the fourth quarter with p* Roi' of ten Probationers and fifty-one vacancies, twenty-seven of which wished no supply through your Committee. Of the nmety-five vacancies reported during the year, thirty-nine have secured settled pastors, leaving fifty-six still on the Roll, more than one-half of which are receiving no supply uhrough your Committee. Of the twenty-seven Probationers whose names have appeared on the Roll during the year, seven have been chosen and settled as pastors ; ten have withcirawn, one to return to Great Britain, three to accept Home Mission appointments, three to accept Presbyterial appointments, and three to fina appointments in other ways. It IS the mournful duty of your Committee to report the death of the Rev. Alexander F. Kemp, M.A., LL.D., who, notwithstanding failing health, placed his valued services at the disposal of your Committee in the early part of the present year, and entered upon the work of filling appointments to vacant pulpits with most self-sacrificing fidelity. His strength failed him while endeavouring to fill appointments at Niagara,^ and he returned to his home at Hamilton, where, after a few weeks of severe prostration and suffering borne with the heroic faith and calm fortitude of a good soldier of Jesus Christ, he passed peacefully away on the evening of Saturday, the third day of May last. The number of Probationers remaining on the Roll is ten, whose names, together with the names of those removed, and a list of vacancies and settlements during the year, will be found in Appendices I. and II. annexed to this report. Your Committee beg most respectfully to recommend that, as the number of ministers without charge, who either seek or find employment through the Committee on the Distribution of Proba- tioners, has become very small, and as the substantial results of this Committee's efforts bear no proper proportion to the time and labour expended, no Committee on the Distribution of Probationers be appointed for the coming year, but that instead, all Probationers be left to secure appointments by corresponding directly with the Home Mission Conveners of the s veral Presbyteries, and with others as circumstances maj' direct. All of which is respectfully submitted. R. J. LAIDLAW, Convener. Hamilton, June Snd, 1884.

Dobbin, .Tonathan Goforth, James A. McDonald, D. A. McLean, Wm. Mowat, .fames W. Oir, Thomas Thomiison. Skcond Yk.\u : .Tames (iilchrist, W. Malcolm Kay. David Perrie. FiHsT Yk.\u : Malcolm Bethune, L. C. Emes, (i. .V. Francis, N. F. McConnell, W. N. McFar- lane, Andrew McXab, Allan Patterson. The Senior Greek Class read Demos, pro Megalojiol and ])art of Thucyd., B. IV. The .lunior Class read Xen. Anab., \i, V., 1 -S, and part of Homer's Iliad, B. I. Each Class met twice a week for reading; the Classes nii;t unitedly once a week for (irammar. Messrs. Francis ami "ines began the study of Greek in October, and made very good progress. Mr. Bethune joined the ei. -es after Christmas and has done excellent work. Mr. Mct-'oniiell, through sickness, was compelled t- remit .study .about the beginning of March. He was very diligent and careful in his work while aide to give attendance. In .addition to the studeii*-i named, Messrs. James Argo, 11. J. M. Glassford, W. D. Grant and •T. .•\.. McMillan took the final examin.atiim. In Latin the Junior Class (second and third years) read Ciesar, De Bollo Gallico, B. Ill,, 1-11, mill Virgil ,En., B. I., l-17'.t ; and the Senior Class read Cicero in Cutalinam, B. I., 1-7, an i Iloraco Oiles, 15. IT., 1-14. Both Classes went to the end of the regular verbs in Harkness' Grammar, and dill the first twenty exercises in Arnold's Prose tlomposition. Piiith tutors speak of the attendance and dejiortinent of the students as entirely satisf.ictory. Dr. (Jregg, as in past years, kindly taught Mathematics to the Junior Class. Mr. K. ('. Tibb, B. .\. , the Librarian, reiiorts increasing interest, on the part of the Htid .nts in the lilirary. The many valuable liooks added last year seem to have made the library xnura attractive, anil many volumes in all the leading departments of study were taken out during the Session. The Consulting Department was enriched by tlie addition of the Encyclo[);edia Britannica, as far as the ninth edition is issued, and the continuation of .Vppleton's EncycloiiuRdia from 1S7(> to l)S8l!, The Librarian rejiresents the great need of develojunent in the department of English Litera- ture. H^ gives a list of valuable books, both in the Ordinary and the Consulting departments, which should be rebound. cr. APPENDIX. During the past year the library has been re-arranged. A syatem of classification, at once sim- ple and comprehensive, has been adopted. A Subject Catalogue, according tci the new classification, is being prepared. A syatem of tiolcet registration has been adopted, and so far it^ working is eminently satisfactory. The Senate hopes to be able to expend a considerable sum during summer in further improve- ment of the library. Above S800 of the amount raised by the alumni is still at their disposal ; and it is earnestly hoped that the effort whicli is being made for Endowment, and for defraying the debt on the College building, will not stand in the way of a work so necessary as the increase of the library, in a degree commensurate with the aims and wants of the College. The several College societies have prosecuted their work with energy and success during the Session. Special reference may be made to the !itudcnts' Missionary Society. The financial position of the Society has allowed it to send out seventeen students for the coming summer, a larger number than it has ever before been able to appoint. Tiie Senate regards this Society as a means of much usefulness, and feels indebted to the Convener of the Foreign Mission Committee and other brethren who hive given valuable addresses during the past winter. The Senate has pleasure in reporting that tlie Rev. W. G. Wallace, M. A., has passed his final examination for B.D., and that Mr. John Gibson, M.A., has passed his examination in both departments.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY AND C OLLEGE. (FOUTY-THIUI) SKSSION.) I. ATTENDANCE. The number of students registered last session in connection with the University was :— In Arts, two hundred and sixteen ; in Medicine, one hundred and eight ; in Theology, twenty-five. In Theo- logy, ten were in the first, seven in the second, and eight in the third year. The total number .'^tudy- ing witli a view to the ministry is sixty-five. Along with this report, copies of the Calendar are submitted, and anyone who desires detailed intorniation respecting the students, the course of study in the different faculties, the scholarships and honours open to competition, the exanunation jiajjers, and other suljjects, can obtain a copy at any time on apidication to the ]legistrar, liev. (ieorge Eell, LL.D II. KIKANCIAI. .STATKMENTS. Our total deficit for the last four years amounts to twelve dollars. The deficit, however, wotild have been large this year liad it not Ijeen for the sjiecial fund started a year ago, and for the fact that several of the sidiscribers jjaid last winter the total of their five yj^ "s' subscriptions. Of course we n.ust expect so much the less hereafter, and a deficit next year is inevitable uidess we receive the $4,000 from the ( Jeneral Assend)ly's l''und that three years ago was shown and admitted to be necessary for the maintenance of the Theological Faculty. We may exjject to receive thi amount only by a re-arrangement of the proixirtions paid out of the Fund to the different Ciillefj;e3 ; and we submit that a i-e-arrangement is equitable. When (v>ueen's was receiving largely from the Cohuiial Cciminittee of the Clmrcli of Scotland and from other sources, we asked only for a sura equivalent to one-tenth of the collections made in Ontario and Quebec. Now that we are not receiving those grants anil that the need of our sister institutions is happily less, we are sure that the subject will receive the just and generous consideration of the Church. in. ADDITinNS TO THF STAFF IN ARTS AND THKOLOGY. Last year we rejjorted that in consequence of i)roniised subscri]>tions for five years we were enabled to appoint Rev. i). lloss, B.IJ., to our long desired third chair in the Faculty of Theolcgy. Subsecpiently \V. L. Goodwin, IXSc. , was a])pointed I'rofessor of Chemistry and Mineralogy. Dr. Goodwin is a Canadian, a (iilchrist scliolar, who distinguished himself highly in London, J'"diidi\ugh and (lermany, and who has ])roveil himself a most valuable addition to o\u' staff. Adilitious have also been made to our librarj', laboratories, and general equijnnent, out of special subscriptions. IV. THEOLOGICAL STUDIES. The addition of Professor Pioss to_ the staff has enabled us to make our couise much efficient, and to pui licensetl to [UL-ii-LU. xnc x loiu.isoi oi vyiitjui/ai itni.m-ui^u.-* iiiin liiicc uiti5."ic.-j t;vci_y ouj' iii jicuicw uuu Ciialdee. lie takes Old Testament Exegesis in aeldition. And the Professor of Apologetics gives three days a week to New Testament Exegesis and fJriticism. In Church History, the lecturer, liev, James Carmichael, of King, dealt with the Reformation period. In conclusion, the Board desires to extend hearty C(nii:ratulations to sister institutions which have received such large additions to their enlovvmeiits during the last two* years. The increasing efficiency ()f all the institutioiih ctmnected with the ( 'hurch shows that our people, both from patriotic and Christian motives, iiave a iiigh idenl of the ijosition tlipt these fountain heads of infiuence should occupy. There can be no doulit now in the mind of any reasonable man that before long all of them will lie furnished with a generous equipment, with the best results to the Church and the country. J. B.

The Board of Management of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, beg leave to -iresent tb^ following report of the institution for the past year. From the rep.)rt of the Senate, which is herewith transmitted, it will be observed th it the whole number •■< students in nctual attendance on the various classes has buen sixty-s n, of wliom tw 'nty- nine were in theology. Seven completed their oourao and are now prepared * iter on the work of the ministry. The continued importance of the French department is indi i by th" fact that ten French students were in attendence. With the exception of the Rov. Dr "kins, the staff con- tinued the aatiie as in the previous year, and all the professors and lect.»ors were able to take their classes regularly. Frc^ni the accompanying financial statement it wi'l be seen that in one ■ I'ct the finances fif the College are in \ less favourable position than last year, there bein;,' a defi' ui the Orilinary fund of $->50.97. This deficiency is not ovving to any exctdS of expend. uure over w , it was estimated, out to the fact that less was received fnnn variou.s sources of revenue than was obtained from tlie invested endowment and from the common CoUeg year, the expenditure would have be^ i fuUv met. At the close ot the ecclesiastical year the deficiency was $963.97. A H[)ecial appeal, ho^vever, was made, which resulted in $413 being received before the books were closed, thus reducing the deficit to .$550.97. The bequest of $10,000 by the late Mr. Edward Mackay, intimated las*': year, has been received from his executors anri/,ed to announce the decision of his three nej'hews, Messrs. Hugh, .Fames, and Robert Mackay, to endow » chair in memory of their late uncle, to be known as " Tl»e Ed'vard M/ ''.ay C^hiiir." This is a true .and beautiful tribute of affection to the memory of one most thoroi..;',.y deserving of it, and reflects the utmost honour upon the doers of the generous deed, which the iJoard is assured will be tirratefully approved by the General Assembly and by the whole Church. All of which is respectfully submitted, D. MORRICE, aii'tinnan. Montreal, Map SOth, 1884. JOHN STIRLIN(;, tierretary. CXVl. APPENDIX.

At the close of the session the Principal was able to annoiineo that, by tlie liberality of Messrs. Hugh, James and Robert Mackay, another Theological chair had been founded, in memory of their uncle, the late Mr. Edward Mackay, to be known as the " The Edward Mackay Chair."

Much however lemaiiis to l)o done in this direction b. f ore that state of etliciency and comi)leteness is reached which the Senate seek ever to place before them. The work of the various Societies which liave their home in the College, such as the Missionary, ■Society, t'.ie Literary and Flidosophical, the Alma Mater, the Celtic, and the Editing Committee of the Colliv,'rt Journal, has been carried on witii vigour ai.d success. It is not found that the societies interfere, to any ap|)rer;ia!(le extent, with the studies of those students who are most active in them, ;iiid their influence as factors in education is not to lie denieil. The Senate would direct the attention of the \ euerable, the General Assembly, t< the increasinj,; ijisire manifested by students preparing for the ministry to (pialify themselves for Theological studirs by a full T'nivcrsity course, a desire in which French students, though placed at great dis- advant.jge, [)articipate.

Fourteen students have been in attendance during the past session — seven of the first year, two of the second, and five of the third. It becomes professors and students to recognize the good hand of Udd upon them, in enabling them, in health and comfort, to prosecute to a close the studies of another academic year. In the class of Systematic Theology, attended by seven students of the second and third years, the princii)al subject of lecture was the doctrine concerning (Jhrist, as foreshadowed in (Md Testa- ment i)rophecy, set forth in the evangelical history, and elal)orated in the earlier ages of the Chris- tian Church. In the way of text-book, some portions of Hodge's third volume were used. Homilies and pulemieal theses were read and criticised, as usual. The cl.ass of Apologetics was .attended by eit,'lit st\idents. Isaac Taylor's " Transmissicm of Ancient Books " was used as a serviceable intr luc- tiiin to the study of the historical evidences of Christianity. Part of Hodge's first volume was also studied. The leading topics bearing on the evidences of natural and revealed religion were reviewed as in former years. The exegutical hour on Tuesday was given to the Epistle to the Hebrews, neaily five chapters being read in the course of the session. This class was attended by all the students. The corresponding hour on Wednesday was given, by a cl.ass of three students, to the study of (Cement's Epistle to the Corinthians. Rather more than half of the Epistle was read ; and the semi-sessional examinations showed a fair measure of progress in the study. The class of Churc'o History, Pastoral Theology, an 00 Extra from change of plan during Session 154 66 Prizes, money provided by churches and indi\ Iduals 2U6 00 Total. $987 66 Part of this expenditure was unexpectedly incurred after the Commit ee had made promises of tid, which could not be recalled, causing the debt of $156.4'.J with which tht year commenced, to rise at its close to $.'60.78, but it is the purpose of the Committee, if in charge durin; the coming year, to diminixh, and they hope, to extinguiHh this incumbrance. This can oanity be affected by a little effort, as during the year past only fourteen congregutiairs and some legal expenses of preceding years, make a difference of $422.01, which, if added to the deficiency of last year, would have made a loss of $t,072.9( on the year. The interest of inve.sted funds, having increased by $291.37, reduces the actual deficiency to a sum still much too large, $781.57.

Doubtless this outlay will l>e mminished in time, but the (Hiwor of the Board to bring about an early diminutio:i i-i limited. They have not neglected negotia- tiims with the Governors of Dalhousie College, and have, under instructior from the Muruime Synod, given notice to the Governors of that institution, th.at, as the three Professorships supported by the Presbyterian body, become vacant, the Board will hold itself and the Synod, for whom in this matter it acts, free to withdrawn the support of two out of the three. CXXIV. APPENDIX, ATTKNDANCK OK STUDENTS. The Board is thankful tonotice and to report, an increase in the number seeking admission to the Theoloh'ical Classes. Seven entered last year, and more are expected next year, but twice the number named are needed to meet the wants of our limno Church, and to provide a portion for the heathen world. Six for the filling up of our vacancies, and one to carry the Gospel to Chili for the year, are sufficient to awaken gratitude. But what are the.se among so many ? The calls from Demerara are unanswered, and many congregations are waiting and praying that they may soon see their teachers. The Board looks for an increase of students of piety and zeal, in answer to the increased desires and prayers of the peoi)le, and such an increase, as will man ere long our vacant watcii towers, and furnish volunteers to carry the G()si)el, far west, and to the regions beyond. The time may not have come, but it cannot be far off, when a revived and devoted Church will ungrudginnly give of the brightest and best of her sons, to make known Christ's name to men in heathen ignorance. Tlie boarding arrangements have been placed on what, it is believed, will prove a satisfactory basis, so that students at I'ine Hill will find at once a home and a theological school, the arrange- ments of which will be conducted under the superintendence of the principal. liespectfully submitted by R. F. BURNS, Chairman. r. G. MacGREGOR, Secretary. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF MANITOBA COLLEGE, 1883-84. iJi The Board of Management of Manitoba College in presenting their Annual Report to the Gen- eral Aasemlily desire to express their gratitude t') God for the greatly increased efficiency of the Col- lege and for the marked improvement in its finances. The General Assembly, at its last meeting, unanimously offered to the Rev. John M. King, D.D. , the appointment of J^rincipal and Professor of Theology in the College. Dr. King subsecpiently accepted the a|>pointment and was inducted early in November. Tlie College has already derived much benefit from the services of the Principal, who has laljoured indefatigably on its behalf. The cla.sses in theology have been thoroughly organized. New life has been infused into the work of the institu- tion. The interest taken in it by the members of our Cliurch in the Nortli-VVest has been intensified, as is sliown by their largely increased contributions. Receipts from congregations in the Eastern Provinces have been more than doubled as compared with those of last year. The debt has been reduced, and there has been marked and gratifying progress all along the line. STUDENTS. The number of students in attendance has been considerably larger than during any previous session. There have been, in all, G7 upon tlie roll, most of whom have been in attendance during the wliole period. The chief interest taken by some in the College has been the prospect of securing I)y means of it Ji larger supply of qualified Ministers and Missionaries for Manitoba and the North-west. To such it must be gratifying that eir/ht theological students have been in attendance, tln-ee of whom have > oin- pleted their studies and have been taken on trial for license by the Presbytery of Manitoba. Tliere is a fair prospect that, notwithstanding the departure of these three, the Theological classes will be attended next jession by at least an equally large number. The number of students resident in the building has ran^^ed from 20 to 32. It is gratifying to report, as will be seen from the Treasurer's statement, that the sum derived from Fees and Board amounts to $4,()G3.G0, as compared with $2,7G3.1!> last year. The boarding department, notwith- standing the high cost of living in Winnipeg and the expense of heating during the long and severe winter, is now self-sujiporting ; and this result is due not to any reduction in the comfort of the the students but to the increase of the number in residence and to the careful supervision of the expenditure. REVENUE. The contributions from nearly all sources have increased ; in some cases very largely. The en- tire income (exclusive of the foundation of " John Black " Scholarship) is 820,616.96 as compared with $7,004.55 last year. Tlie congregational contributions from Manitoba and the North. West amount to $847.70. To this must be added .$700 contributed specially toward the salary of Professor Bryce ; $274.40 contributed by the Ladies' Aid Association of Knox and St. Andrew's Church ; and $2,25 < for Dr. King's salary (nine months), making a total from Manitoba and the North-West of $4,072.10, as compared witli $740.(17 last year. There has been a large and gratifying increase in the amounts contributed by congregationsin Ontario and the Eastern Provinces. The contributions aggregate $2,733.37, as compared with $1,225.25 last year. A large number of congregations have made no response whatever to the As- sembly's appointment of a collection. The lioerality of some, however, has made up for the neglect of others, and the entire amount is, perhaps, as large aa could have been reasonably expected from thia source. APPENDIX. cxxv. The Board have to record their gratitude to the Church ol Scotland, the Free Church of Scot- land, and the Irish Presbyterian Church for their f^eneroua interest in the Collej?e, contributions from these sourceB amounting to $1,214.72. They have also to express their thanks to individual benefactors outside of Manitoba, who, apart from cong;regational contributions, have aided the revenue to the extent of $1,011.40; and also to the Executors uf the Estate of the late Edward Mackay, iisq., of Montreal, for payment of a bequest of $1,000. • LIBRART. During the year a valuable gift of 125 volumes was presented to the Library by William Bathgate, Esq., of Winnipeg. SALARIES. The Board are glad to report that all arrears of salaries as well as all outstanding accounts against the College have been paid. The teaching staff, as last year's report stated, is insufficient ; and the Board have not yet appointed an additional lecturer in Arts although autliorized by last General Assembly to do so, as the condition of ordinary revenue has not yet warranted this exiKsndi- ture. Until the debt is greatly reduced the Board will make no suggestion either for a further addition to staff or for an increas>e of salaries. REDUCTION OF DEBT. The first instalment of the loan from the Building and Loan Association, Toronto, due last No- vember and amounting to $4,800, has almost entirely been paid. Another payment of like sum will be due next November. The Board trust that the General Assembly will cordially approve of their making appeal to liberal friends in various parts of the Church to raise the amount and to remove Uie general indebtedness. An esteemed Elder of the Church, who has already contributed a large sum to the re- duction of the dei)t, has agreed to jrive an additional amount of $l,<'iOO, on condition that one-half of tlie debt be removed by the close of 1884. Last year the Board received the permission of the General Assembly to appoint a special agent ti visit the parent Churches and present the claim of the College and receive f ubscriptions on its behalf. At the unanimous and urgent request of the Board, as well as of the I'resbytery of Mani- toba, Principal King has imdcrtaken this task, and the Board are hopeful that be may be able to elicit a stronger sympathy and more liberal support in the Mother Country on behalf of the College. PUO.SPHCTS. The Board cannot close this report without referring, in grateful terms to the improved pros- pects of the College in connection with the work of the Church in the North-West. They gladly re- cord their appreciation of the excellent work done in former years by the limited staff of teachers, especially their appreciation of the untiring labours of Professors Bryce and Hart. The General Assembly are aware tiiat University Education in Manitoba depends upon the Churches for its sup- port, the Legislature being able as yet to devote to this purpose only the small amount derived from marriage licenses. The Presbyterian Church, true to its traditions, must take an active part in a matter which so deeply concerns the welfjvre of the people as higher education, antl the Board aro anyious that our College should be, at least, as efficient as either St. John's or St. Boniface v liich with it are affiliated to the University of Manitoba. Although as yet our College is feebler in finances and in the number of instrvictors than either of those others yet tlie Board point with satisfaction to the fact that the number of our students who have graduated in the University is considerably in excess of those from the other two Colleges combined. The Faculty of Arts has been rendered more efficient 1 ly the instruction given by the Principal in the higher branches of Mental Philo.sophy. The organization of the Theological Faculty, however, renders the College more directly 8ervicpal)le for the purpose for which the Church is entitled to expend its funds in higher education. The Board, therefore, hope that the improved position and prospects of the College in this respect will call forth a still wider sympathy and support from the parent Churches which must naturally follow with in- terest their members who come as immigrants to the North-West and which may surely be expected to assist any well-directed efforts to supply those immigrants with the efficient ministry of the Word. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. G. B. BANNATYNE, Chairman. WiNNiPEO, May lith, 1884. REPORT OF THE SENATE OF MANITOBA COLLEGE FOR THE YEAR 1883-84. The Senate of Manitoba College, in presenting its Report for the Session of 1883-4 would desire to ( xpress its gratitude to God for the measure of prosperity which has attended the Institution dur- ing this period. The College has two departments; Theological and Literary. In the latter, instruction is given not "only to students, whose years and attainments qualify them for undergoing the examination prescribed by the University of Manitoba, of which many of them are undergraduates, but also to a number, not sufficiently advanced in years or in learning, to obtain any standing in the University. The number of ntudents of all classes on the roll of the College during the Session has been 67. Most of these have lieen in attendance during the whole period. A few, on account of sickness or '^ther causes, have attended during only a portion of the College year. For three or four who could cxlvi.

John Pringle B.A. ; the Reformation period reo-iivin^ prominence. Mr. Pringle met with this class for a part of the Session twice a week, and for the r&st of it once a week. Written examinations were conducted, on most of the subjects taught at Christmas and on all of them at the close of the Session. Messrs. McGuire, Bell, Dougla.s, Tibb, and Whimster together with the Lecturers and Dr. King, conducting these exauiinations. The various examiners express satis- faction on the whole with the progress made and the attainments exhibited by the students. Mr. TodJ was prevented by severe indisposition from attending the examinations at the close of the Session. The Senate, on the testimony of the Principal to the diligence and the progress of Mr. Todd, had no difficulty in according to him his standing. Dr. King reports entire satisfactitm with the students in Theology: their attendance was punctual, their attention to the work of the class marked, and their general deportment, all that could be desired. A Scholairship of the value of $2.5 was awarded to the student in each year who had passed the best examinabion on all the subjects of the year, and one of $15 to the student passing tnabest ex- amination in (Jhurch History ; the sum required for the purpose having been provided by ttie Bible Clasoes of Knox Church, Winnipeg, and of Kildonan. These were awarded in the third year to Dun- can Munro, iu the second, to David Anderson B.A., in the/!r«t, to D. G. McPherson : in the Church History examinatitm to J. M. Kelly, of the third year. It may be stated also in this connection, that a Scholarship of the value of $.iU entitled a " Memorial Scholarship " and given by members of the St. James Square congregation, Toronto, was bestowed in the early part of the Session on James Todd, of the Theological class, and another of the same value given by Mr. Donald McLellan, Haftiilton, was bestowed on Isaac McDonald of the Literary class, but studying with the ministry in view A prize presented by the Rev. Mr. Gordon for proBciency in Apologetics was won by Mr. D, Anderson, B.A. In the Iiiterary department. Professor Bryce continues to give instruction in the Literature and Science subjects taking also the pass work in Logic and .Moral Philosophy ; Professor Hart takes the Cla'«sics and French, both in the Pass and Honor subjects. A. M. Campbell, B. A., takes Mathe- matics, and at the same time gives the larger portion of the teaching to the pupils in the preparatory form. Mr. Campbell resides in the building, and takes under the Principal a general supervision of the resident, students after claits hours. The instruction in the Honor suldects in Mental and Moral Science is given in the meantime by Dr. King, who has devoted about an hour and a half of teaching each day to the work in this department. The usual examinations have been held at the close of the College terms, and with results on the whole iiatisfactory to the Professors. APPENDIX. cxxvn. Five Btudents connected with the College took the degree of B. A. in the University of Manitoba iMt June : F. A. Brown, D. Anderson, J. B. D. Code, W. McK. Omand, A. Macl.aren ; the first, F. A. Brown receiving the Bronze Medal in Classics and the second, D. Anderson, taking Class Honors in Classics. It will be noticed that two out of the five are now engaged in the study of Theology. In connection with the University examinations to be held in May of this year, four stu- dents are expected to take part in the final examination for B.A. ; six in the junior B.A. examina- tion, and fourteen in the Previous. The Students' Literary Society has continued to hold its meetings weekly during the Session with beneficial results to those who have taken part in the exercises. A Missionary Society has likewise been formed in connection with the College. It has undertaken the support of one Missionary during the recess, and has already chosen its labourer and had a fibid assigned to it by the Presbytery. Mr. Campbell is engaged in making a catalogue of the books contained in the Library. A copy of the 2nd edition of Dr. Calderwood's work, "Brain and Mind," was presented to it by the author. All of which is respectfully submitted. Winnipeg, April 8th, IS84. JOHN M. KING, Chairman. TREASUEER'S STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD FROM ISth MAY, 1883, TO 13th may, 1884. h results on L-BUILDING FUND.

It is a matter of deep regret that, notwithstanding the appeal made by the last General AsNembly to ihe loyalty of our people to support the fund, upwards of one hundred and sixty congregations and mission stations have failed to contribute anything to it. It would be interesting to know the reason why the sessions or oiBce-bearers of these cnurches did not give their people the opportunity to contribute. Had they done so, the receipts would probably have equalled those of the preceding year. The expense of administering the fund was $68.10, for stationery, postage and printing of this report and the list of receipts for the year. The following is the appropriation of the fund, according to the instructions of the Assembly : — Receipts for the year $12,636 82 Paid to Knox College, Toronto $6,615 11 Paid to Presbyterian College, Montreal 3,307 55 Paid to Queen's College, Kingtiton 2,646 06 Printing, stationery and posta^re for the year .-. 68 10 $12,036 82 All of which is respectfully submitted, ROBT.

KEPORT ON SABBATH SCHOOLS. tv.1 In presenting their reiK)rt, your Committee are thankful to be able to say that there are sonii' indications of increased interest in that important branch of the Church's work entrusted to their 8Ui>ervision. The number of schools reporting this year is in advance of last, and the returns generally will be found to be an improvement on those of previous years. Much credit is due to the Clerks of Presbyteries and of Synods, and to the conveners of Sabbath School committees, for the time and attention they have given to this department of work, and any improvement that your Committee is glad to be able to rejwrt, is the result of their efforts. Questions eliciting information were issued early in November last and distributed to all .Sabbath School superintendents. At the same timn, the ( -ommittee, through its convenef, addressed a circ\ilar to all the clerks of Presbyteries, reiiuesting them to see to it that prompt and careful attention hf given to Sabbath School matters, and in particular, that the rec(*mmenuations of last Assembly be considered and complied with. The following statement, with statistical returns, will show how far the request of ymr Com- mitte has been attended to. MANITOBA. The Presbytery of Manitoba reports as follows. For the\8ake of comi)arison, the returns for last year are placed side by side with those for this year : — 1884. isM.

In some of the mission ath School work, and are heartily en^aijeil in it, there it* yet a large nuiuher who manifest hut little interest in it." 8TN0D OF TORONTO AND KINOSTON. Of the nine Preabyterie.^ of this Synod all hut one reiwrt. No report came from the Presbytery if Kingston. The ap]>arent delinquency, however, was owing to an acciileiit to the convener of the Presbytery's Sabbath School Committee, and to the miscarriaKe <>f certain papers. Three other Presbyteries of this Synod send very inc()mplete returns, and the results are (1) that the report from the Synod as a whole is very unsatisfactory, and (2) that the good returns received from the five Presl)yteries that attended well to their work, are for statistical purposes rendered practically valueless. It is much to be regretted that the Sabbath School returns from this, the largest Synod (if the Church, fall short of those for last year, and considerably short of those for tlie year before. The figures stand thus :— 1884. 1883. Xuniber of Schools reporting l.")8 2116 Officers and Teachers 1,87<» 2,3.59 Scholars on Roll 17,152 20,931 Average Attendance 10,179 Number in Bible Classes 3,879 ' ' of Communicants under instruction 1,077 " " received from Schools during year. 373 270 Amount given to Missions $4,288 t3f529 These figures, while unsatisfactory as regards the numlier of schools and scholars, are nevertheless satisfactory as regards the spiritual outcome of the work done. The increase in missionary contribu- tions of $758, though there are 78 fewer schools reporting is very creditable. And the fact that there are 97 more additions to the membership of the C'hurch from the Sabbath Schools than last year, is very encouraging. The Synod of Toronto and Kingston has in all about 240 congregations, and .50 mission stations. It must have nearly, if not quite, 500 Sabbath Schools, and yet there are returns from only 158. It is on wonder therefore that this sentence should be found in the Synod's Report. " It is very much to be regretted that the information so earnestly sought by the General Assembly in the matter of Sabbath School statistics and work should be so scantily furnished." Nothing special is reported as having been done in the holding of Conferences. The banner Pres- hytery of this Synod in that matter, is Guelph. Its earnestness and activity are worthy of commen- dation. Peterborough Presbytery too, has made good progress in Sabbath School matters during the year. It reports the largest accessions to the memberanip of the Church from the Sabbath School, 101. Barrie also makes a good record, having sent returns from all its settled charges, with the exception of one. The large Presbytery of Toronto too, has been active in Sabbath School work. It reports 4,694 scholars studying the Catechisms. Your Committee have no information from this Synod about Teachers' meetings and Normal They note, however, with satisfaction its recommendation to this effect : " That greater uniformity be aimed at in the use of Teachers' helps and of the i)eriodicals put into the hands of the scholars, and that all such publications be as distinctively denominational aa possible." 8TN0D OF MONTRKAL AKD OTTAWA. The report from this Synod is very complete. The six Presbyteries that constitute it have all sent in returns. One, the Presbytery of Glengarry, has reported from every school within its bounds, and that every one of its schools naa given a contribution to missions ; also that it held two Sabbath- School Conferences during the year. This Presbytery has done so well, and its example is so well calculated to stimulate others, that an extract from its report to Synod may be pardoned. It says : " The semi-annual convention may now be considered as one of the institutions of Sabbath School life and work. After a three years trial no one would consent to abandoning it. After carefully observing the results, we are more and more persuaded of the good and lasting benefits that accrue to all who attend these meetings. The following are the returns from this Synod. The figures for last year are n«t given : — 1884. Number of Schools reporting 223 " Officers and Teachers 1745 " Schools on roll 15620 Average attendance 10273 " in Bible Classes (approximative) 2850 " of Communicants under instruction 866 " " received during the year from Schools 369 Amount given for Missions $4793 Twenty-four schools in this Synod report Teacher's meetings.

"How many Children of the Church of School age within your bounds are not under instruction in the Sabbath School?" (4) That a I'eriiKlical for the Children of the Church be issued unrd's Day Act in the direction desired, provided con- current legislation can be secured at Ottawa. This is deemed desirable to the end tnat vexatious and interminable law suits about the question of jurisdiction may be avoided. We regret to say that notwithstanding all that has been done to secure the better observance of the Sabbath, the day is very much desecrated throughout the Dominion ; as, for example, by excursions by rail and water, volunteer and other street parades with bands of music, unnecessary Sabbath funerals, the making up and despatch of mails, and the running of passenger and other trains. An important decision was given in the latter part of December, 1883, in the Queen's Bench division of the High Court of Justice, at Toronto, in the case of the Queen against Campholl and Berriman, in which lock-tenders on the VVelland Canal were convicted by a magistrate of a breach of the Sunday Labour Act in exercising their occupation on that day. The magistrate grounded his conviction on the fact that, in his opinion, the work was not one of charity or necessity. The court 'luashed the conviction, on the ground that no statute is to be taken to apply to the Crown unless the Crown is expressly mentioned therein, and as no such mention is made in the Act prohiliiting Sunday labour, therefore the Act cannot be made to apply to Government works. The effect of this decision is to make it absolutely discretionary with the (Jovernment whether any, and what amount of labour shall l)e performed on the Lord's day (m public works, anil in all departinents of the public service. And as the whole responsibility is thus thrown on the Government, and assumed by the Government, when work is ordered or permittetl to be done, all those throughout the Dominion who prize the Sabbath and its privileges should hold the Governtnent to strict account. Only one report from Synodical Committees on Sabbath Observance has been receivec, that of the Synotl of Toronto and Kingston. That Synod has instructed its committee to draft a ,)etition to both Houses of Parliament, setting forth the nature of the legislation deemed necessary to secure the better observance of the Lord's day, and has authorized its Moderator and Clerk to sign said petition on behalf of the Synod. There is, however, every reason for believiHg that legislation can be secured for suppressing Sabbath excursions by land and water ; and in many parts of the Dominion this is a prevident form 1 <-t CXXXVlll, APPENDIX. of fjabbath profanation. And the oo-operation of all branches of the Christian Church in the Dominion, now ho happily commenced, gives great promise and encouragement for the future. In conclusion, your Committee recommend : — 1. That the attention of Synods be again called to the duty of reporting on Sabbath obser/ance withfa their bounds to the Assembly's Committee ; 2. That the Assembly re-affirm the instructions given last year to the Committee as to co-operat- ing with corresponding committees of other churches, with the view of securing needed legislation ; 3. That the Assembly petition the Dominion Government on the general 3ubject of the better observance of the Sabbath, and that the Moderator and Clerk be directed to sign said petition in the name of the Assembly. All of which is respectfully submitted. Toronto, June Gth, 1884. W. T. Mcmullen, JoM convener. i REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE, 1884. The Assembly's Committee on Temperance hereby beg leave to submit their Annual Report :— From every quarter comes the cheering intelligence that the Church is becoming more and more alive to her responsibility as regards this great question ; the community being brought more under the influence of intelligent conviction, and the State being forced to take practical steps to do away with the monstrous evils of intemperance by removing the cause. Out of 36 Presbyteries under the jurisdiction of this Assembly, 19 reported to their respective Synods. Four Presbyteries and 37 seasic nt, reported directly to the Convener of the Assembly's Committee. A summary of the replies to the questions sent down by the Committee is herewith submitted :— 1. 1. What proportion of office-bearers and members practise Total Abstinence ? The replies vary much ; but manifestly indicate marked advance in the growth of the sentiment of Total Anstinence among the office-bearers and members of the Church. Many report that nearly all the office-bearers and a large proportion of members are total abstainers. 2. Has anything been done within your bounds towards establishing Coffee-houses, or Temper- ance Hotels ? Coffee-houses have been established in a number of cities, and Temperance Hotela are on the increase in country places. 3. Was the subject of Temperance brought before the congregation during the year, in the manner recommended ? In most of the congregations reporting, the subject of temperance was brought before our people in the manner recommended by the General Assembly, and in many cases sermons were preached on the subject ; while in localities where there is need for it, a great deal of attention appears to have been given in the pulpit to this question. Similar responses come from every quarter from which retumslhave reacnecl your Committee ; which certainly, in view of the facts laid before the Assembly at its last meeting, is most gratifying. II. Special Temperance work engaged in by the Sessions and Congregations, and what kind ? It would seem from the reports received, that but few of the Sessions and Congregations of the Church, aa such, engage in any special tem^rance work ; yet many of the members hold prominent places in the many organizations that are doing active aggressive work, and throw their influence and example on the side of Bands of Hope, Congregational Temperance Societies, and all rightly-directed efforts for the furtherance of temperance. 'This is specially true of the women of the Church, who, with many other Christian women in the land, have formed themselves into what is now so well and favourably known as " Woman's Christian Temperance Unions." The influence which these noble women, many of them true mothers in Israel, are wielding for good, cannot be easily estimated, as they have brought to bear a new element of power on the social, moral, and educational aspects of the question. III. Temperance Text Books in Schools ? Your Committee believe that the question is being seriously discussed in many places, and we know that representations have been made to the Minister of Education on the subject. We hope to see definite action taken ere long. The Report of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa says : "Your Committee are glad to report that a decided step in advance has been made during the past year. In four places in the Province of Quebec known to your Committee Dr. Richards n's Temperance Lesson Book has been introduced, viz., into the Public Schools of the City of Montreal, Three Rivers, Aybner, and Huntingdon. In this connec- tion it may be noted that by the generosity of two members of the Presbyterian Church in Montreal, Messrs. W. J. Patterson and Henry Morton, a copy of this excellent text book has been put in the hands of every Protestant school-teacher in the Province of Quebec. In no part of Ontario within the bounds of the Synod, so far as the Committee is aware, has anything been done in this direction ; but in Ottawa an effort is being made, and in several of the Presbyteries the question has received more or less attention." Nothing further has been done in Manitoba. The Board of Education of New Brunswick, and the Council of Public Instruction, Nova Scotia, have ordered the introduction of-Dr. Richardson's Text Book into the Public Schools. So far aa reported nothing has been done in Prince Ij^dward Island or Newfoundland. APPENDIX. CXXXIX. IV. Has the time come for the people to demand a Total Prohibition Liquor Law ? And if so, what methods should be adopted for the securing of such results ? Since the date of issuing the circular of the Assembly's Committee, this question has been much discussed, and a very decideil opinion generally expressed. Manifestly the desire for prohibition grows apace, and public sentiment in favour of the entire prohibition of the liquor traffic is being rapidly formed. The number of c> unties and cities that have either passed, or are agitating the passage of the Canada Temperance Act of 1878, is wielding a very powerful educational influence in the country. More and more it is felt that the license system is wrong in principle, and must therefore be inefficient in application, "Vice is not to be taxed but to be suppressed." Your Committee would submit the following recommendations : — I. That Temperance Societies be formed in all our congregations, under the oversight and direc- tion of the Session. II. That our Sessions and S. S. Teachers, in their respective spheres, be recommended to give special promise to the subject of Temperance, and that Presbyteries be instructed to hold an annual conference on the subject. III. In view of the present aspect of the Temperance movement throughout the land, your Com- mittee would recommend the following as the deliverance of the Assembly on this whole question: — Ist. That we regard the traffic in strong drink as one of the greatest hindrances to the progress of the cause, and the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2nd. That in view of the evils wrought by this scoui^e of our race, this Assembly would hail with gladness the utter extermination of the traffic of intoxicating liquor as a beverage, by the jjower of example, public opinion, and the strong arm of the law. 3rd. That wo rejoice at the wonderful advancement of temperance and prohibition sentiment throughout the world, and especially in our own land ; and would recommend our people by voice, vote and example, and by all peaceful and righteous means, to work for the abolition of this great evil. 4th. That we reassert our approval of the principle of the Canada Temperance Act of 1878, and recommend the adoption of said Act as the best available means for the legal suppression of the traffic. 5th. That the Assembly make thankful recognition of the good work accomplished by the women of our land whether in their organized or individual capacity, and would express the hope that their self-denying efforts may be in the future even more abundantly fruitful. All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES McCAUL, Convener.

It is very probable, therefore, that next year's list will contain from frn't;/ to forty-five names. If so, we shall have reached, earlier than was at one time anticipated, the highest percentage of ministers likely to be on the list at any one time. The amount paid to annuitants exceeds that reported last year by J5.52..50. As the back pay- ments of last year amounted to §602.50, while the amount for such payments in the present Report is only $65, the increased expenditure in annuities due to the additions made to the list oi beneficiaries by last Assembly is in reality about $1,200. The Income and Expenditure for the year are :— I. INCOME. Congregational Contributions $5532 38 Bequests and Donations ... 5284 .33 Ministers' Rates 1412 02 Interest on Capital 583 75 $12812 48 n.

This is highly gratifying, and will be regarded as a matter of much thankfulness. The excess is owing mainly to the late Mr. Edward McKay's bequest of $4,000, and Rev. John Dunbar's donation of $1,000. But for these and a number of smaller bequests and donations, the income would have been $7,528.15, the amount strictly available for current expenditure, and about $250 short of the actual expenditure. .:^"The balance at the beginning of the' year was $1,092.43. Adding income and deducting expendi- ture (including investment), there is now in hand a cash balance of $4,748.41. The Committee recommend that of this sum, $4000 be held for investment, leaving a working balance of $748.41. If this recommendation is adopted, in. THK STATE OK THE FUND may be represented as follows : — Invested in Debentures $2500 00 "Mortgages 6500 00 Held for Investment 4000 00 Balance 748 41 $13748 41 APPENDIX. cxlv.

While there has been a i>m;ill increase ($90) in the interest on capital, the amount rec(>ived from ministerial rates is over $300 less than the amount rei)orted last year. There is also an increase of about $2.50 in the Conjfrnjjational contril>ntions. On the whole, it will be apparent that, with the hrge addition that had been made by last Assembly to the number of beneficiaries, the Committee would not have been justified in going beyond the $220 of the three previous years. At the same time, they trust that they will be considered as having been fully warranted, in view of much that Li encouraging in relation to the Fund, in not further reducing the larger annuities. The Committee feel that they would be guilty of a neglect of duty ili' they not call the attention of the Assembly to the fact that, while many congregations contribirte to the Fund with exemplary liberality, the congreg,itional contributions are for the most part so very small as to indicate the need of a general and sustained endeavour to awaken interest in an important scheme of the Church, which has very strong claims on the liberality of Christian pe<)i)le, but whose claims have hitherto been very generally overlooked ; the As-sembly itself, it is to be feared, not giving it, as yet, the place in its proceedings that it is entitled to. With very little effort on the part of the many congregations whose contributions are n iw not much more than a name, the congregational contributions might be reported next year as having gcme tip to $7,000. If our people were brought face to face with the f.ict that the Church is giving a good deal more annually to educate a student than it gives to support an aged minister who has served her forty years, one would think they could not but do much more than the most of them have been doing hitherto. With such improvement in congregational liberality, if no very large addition is made to the number of beneficiaries, the Committee would probably be able next year to take their first step towards bringing up annuities to the amount allowed by the regulations, i.e., $300 for forty years' service. The Committee beg to submit to the Assembly the following regulations which thej' have drawn ui-, partly with the view of ensuring equitable and uniform dealing with cases not unfrerjuently Dccurring and not provided for in the present regulations, and partly with the view of obviating, in some measure, di.ssai 'action in relation to the absence of all discrimination in favour of annui- tants to whom benefit from the Fund is much more n necessity than it is to others. Some of these regulations are such as the Committee believe will be regarded with general approbation, while others will bring out more or less divergence of sentiment. In so far as the Assembly can see its way, the Committee would ask the present endorsement of what is now submitted ; and what it may not be considered expedient to pass judgment on at present, the Committee would recommenit the Assembly to send down to Presbyteries, in order that the mind of the Church may be fully oscer- tiiined in reference to the points involved. 1. If a minister resigns his charge, without obtaining leave from the Assembly to retire from the active duties of the ministry on account of age or infirmity, but continues in the service of the Church as a preacher without resorting to another vocation, such service shall be of the same account as service in the pastorate, in relation to his claim to benefit from the Fund, provided that he pays eight dollars per annum in addition to rate on his professional income, which additional payment shall cease on his being again inducted into a pastoral charge ; otherwise he shall be entitled only to such annuity as the length of his pastorate or pastorates warrant according to the regulations. 2. A minister resigning his pastoral charge and transferring his services to another Church, or giving himself to another vocation, shall forfeit all claim to benefit from the Fund, beyond repay- ment of one-half of the amount paid by him into the Fund ; but the Assembly may, on consioers- tion of all the circumstances, grant the application of such minister to retain his claim to benefit corresponding to the number of his years of service in the ministry of the Church, on condition, First, That he shall pay an annual rate of not less than fifteen dollars ; and Second, That he shall submit to the judgment of the Assembly on any application that he may subsequently make for benefit on the ground of age or infirmity. 3. No minister shall be required to pay rate on any annuity received from the Fund ; but all annuities shall be reduced by ten per cent, on excess of income beyond two hundred dollars that any annuitant may receive, whether from a congregation as a retiring allowance, or for service rendered as a preacher or otherwise ; and all annuitants shall make a return of such income for the calendar year immediately preceding, before receiving their semi-annual payments in May. 4. A minister who has an annual income of not less than six hundred dollars, derived from any aimrce or sources whatever, shall not receive any benefit from the Fund, unless he has paid the rate in accordance with the regulations ; but, if he has so paid his rate, he shall, on his retirement, by leave of the Assembly, on account of age or infirmity, be entitled to an annuity of seventy-fiv« dollars for his first ten years' ministerial service, and two and a half dollars additional for every year of service beyond ten up to forty years service. The Committee are of the opinion that there need not be any delay in the adoption of the first and sicond of these regulations. In relation to the first, it will be seen that, while it imposes an additional obligation on ministers to whose case it refers, the obligation is more than balanced by the additional claim to benefit that it gives them. In relation to the second, the Committee would remind the Assembly that there is nothing new in it except the form, and that, if it is adopted, the administra- tion of the Fund will, in the cases referred to, be determined by enactment instead of precedents. In reference to the other two regulations, the Committee trust that the principles involved in them will receive due consideration, and that such decisions will be eventually reached as shall be in accord with the mind of the Head of the Church. The principle involved in the third regulation i> now recognized in the administration of the Fund of the Eastern Section of the Church. The pro- priety of discriruinKciug between complete and partial disability cannot be questioned, and the Com- niittee think that the regulation points in the direction of an ec^uitable correspondence between a minister's need and the help given, without offering any temptation to ministers and congregations to take undue advantage of the Fund. To prevent misunderstanding, the Committee consider it proper to state that the fourth regulation is not presented as the expression of their mind in referencs cxlvi.

It may he reinpmhored tliat laHt year the Committee expressed the " convic- tion tliat tlie pro^'i-ewM of the Fund had been himleied i)y a largely prevailing impression thit, in some instances, the annuity only ailds to an already amply suttici<'nt income." Whih; they are not themselvfc.s of one mind on the subject, they aro agreed in tlie opinion that it is desirable that it »liould be fully discussed, and, at the same time, they believe that, if the discrimination referred to is to be made, the re^'ulation submitted will he re^'arded as an equitable one. The (^.'ommittee woulil further recommend that, in view of the not unfrequenc occurrence of the removal of a minister frotn one Section of the Church to the other, the As.sembly .>houlil ])ass an onlinance efjually binding' in the administration of both Funds, to the effect that in such a case a minister's claim to beneKt, and subjection t'ctiim to which he is translated. Tins C'oiuiiiittee beg to lay before the Assembly an application from the Uev. .Tohn Mc- Tavish, who, as is well known to all, rendered valuable service to the Church in many ways for five and twenty years or more. Mr. McTavish, who is now nearly seventy years of aije, applies for tlip remission of the rate imposecl upon him by the Assembly, on his removal to Scotland some years ago, and for such an annual allowance as may be considered reasonable in vis w of the fact that, though still doiti^' Work as a pastor, he is obli^eil to have permanent assistance.

Clause second is :— " Nor can such incestuous ni.irriages ever be made l.iwful by any law of maJi or consent of parties, so as those persons may live together as man and wife," and the texts (juoteil in support of this clause are Mark vi. 18, and Leviticus xvii. 21 to 28. Beyond doubt the framers of the Confession regarded these passages as requiring tbe sepnration ''' »11 parties married within the forbidden degrees ; and .as teaching that such marriage!- should uot be acknowlo(lged as valid by either ecclesiastical or civil rules, and that if parties continue thus un- lawfully to live together they should be deprived of the sealing ordinances of the Church, aud bo otherwise subjected to discipline. II. In {)roceeding to form a judgment regarding the grounds on which the .above doctrine of the Confession rests, tlie first thing to be done is to ascertain if there is a Law of incest for the Clu'istian Church, a-s asserted in clause tirst, (pioted above. The framers of the Confession certainly hold th's view; and in the judgment of the Committee tlieir position is correct : because if the Mosaic law of incest is not n<»w in force the Christian Church is left without any definite rule in this important matter ; because the law is stilted in general terms and based on reasons applicable to .fews and Gentiles e(iually ; and because in Leviticus, eighteenth chapter, verses 3 to t) and 24 to 30, violations of the law are re|>rosented as intrinsically '. de, aud as bringing down God's judgments on the Ksyp- tians and Canaanites. It is also to l)e noted that in the New Testament, while no additional law of incest is given, the t)ld Testament law is nowhere repealed, and its continued obligation is not only referred to in Nlark vi. 18, but is assumed in 1 Cor. v. 1. 1. The position of the Confessi(m is supi)orted by such arguments as the following : — (1) In the law of Lev. xviii. (i, marriage is forbidden with "any that is neiir of kin."' This phrase is ai)i)lied alike to relationships by natur.al descent and relationships by marri..,;'^, there being seven of the former aud eight of tiie latter specified between verses (I and 17 ; and is propcirly exteiwled to the wife's sister, aunt and niece, as they are her kinswomen — as nearly related as those which are expressly forbidden. (2) 't'he marriages in ([uestion are forbidden by good and necessary inference by the a])plication of the principle that what is (aw for the man is law for the irouKtn in similu''s wife " clearly imply that a wonum should not covet her neighbour's husl>and. In Romans vii, 3, also, the lawfulness of a woman's being nuirried to another man when her husband in deal, is held to imply that a man may marry another woman when his wife is de:ul. In like manner in Lev. xviii. 7-12, the prohiliitiim of a mans marrying his own mother or his aunt by blood, is held to imply proliiliition of a woman's marrying her own father or uncle by bl'iid (not expressly forliidden). By the application of this i)rincii>le, it e(pially follows that as a man may not marry his deceased brother's wife, a woman may not nnirry her deceased sister's husband : in otli'.'r words, a man may not marry his deceased wife's sister. So, also, as a mm is forbidilen to marry his fatlier's brother's wife, it follows that a wonum may not nuirry lior mother's sister's husband ; in other words, a man may not marry his wife's niece. (3) The marriages in (piestiou are forbidden by the application of the principle that the i)rohihiti'iit of a relation more remote weessarilg inrolres the prohibition of one less remote. Now, as father's brotliers wife, and wife's son's daughter, which are forbidden relations, are more remote than wife's sister ana APPENDIX. cxlix. #nl.T equally remote w.th wife's aunt and niece, the prohibition of the former involves the prohibition of the latter. (4) That no argument in favour of these marriages can be deduced from Lev. x.wiii. 18. (a) Because, as shown above, the marriage is inferentialiy forbidden in verse (i, antl verse 18 is not to be interpreted so as to contradict the express teaching of verse 0. [b) Because there are good grounds for adopting the marginal rendering of verse 18, viz : "One wife to another"; according to which the text is simjily a prohiliition of polygamy, and therefore does not hear upon thn ipiestion of marriage with a wife's sister, which is settletl iti previous verses. In upwards of thirty instances in whicii these or similar wi>rds are used in the Hebrew, as. for example. Genesis xxvi. 31; Exodus x. 2'.i ; xxv. 20; xxvi. ;{ and 5, they are similarly translated; while there is no instance in which such words are otherwise translated except in this verse, and the excep- tion cannot be justified by any special rule. ((•) Because, even if the rendering of the authorized version be adopted, verse 18 does not sanction marriage to a deceased wife's sister, it simi)ly forbids a man to nuirry liis wife's sister tliiring her life- time, but does not decide whether he may or may not marry her afterwards. So far as the text in the authorized version is concerned, it leaves him at liberty to nuirry any one l)ut his wife's sister during her life-time, and any relative after her death. But there are other texts which, alt!u)ugh not in express terms, but by good and necessary inference, prohibit marriage witli a wife's sister, as with other relatives not expressly mentioned. ((/) Because the expression "to uncover nakedness," which is found in this verse and throughout the law, implies something disgraceful, shameful or vile ; and this character of the offence cannot be regarded as teriuinating with the deatii of the wife. Hence the argument from nrdnwux of kin remains good, and a man is prohibited by the very nature of the offence from marrying his wife's sister, even after the wife's death. 2. In opposition to the position of the Confession, it is held by many that, while the second i)ro- jKisition, viz., "nor the woman of her husband's kindred nearer in blood than nf her own," is fairly (leducible from Scripture, the Hrst proposition, viz., "the mm may not marry any of his wife's kimlred nearer in blood than he may of his own,"' is not ileducible from the Scripture (pioted in the Confession, or from any other portion of (Jod's Word. (1) That there is an implied sanction of that marriage in Leviticus xviii., where it is said: "Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex her, to uncover iier nakedness besiiles the oth(!r in her life-time." For the limitati(m as to time implies freedom lieyond that limit, inasmuch as a man is free to marry any woman unli'ss forbidden, and so may marry his wife's sister unless for- bidden. Now, in this ver.se he is forbid nuirry her e([ually with any other woman. An analysis of that part of the law whicli sjiecifies the forbidden divgrees, viz., verses 7-18, will elucidate the ab(jve positio'>. In verses 7-1^5, except verse H, the marriages mentioned and condemned are those of a man to IjIhhiI rc/>Uirc.i of hi.n own: in versos 14-l('> a'ld verse 8, uuirriag.js to woiarn w/io hare ht'cn married to the tnun'g Hood relntirex ; in verse 17, marriages to Uiod rehitin-.i of t'u: miff in the dirtct line of (mrnl and de.irent ; and in verse 18, marriages to a reUUiue of the wife in the c.illaWrul liiu; that is, her sister. This exhausts the list of ) That no prohibition of the marriage in (pieation can he deduced by gooil an'l necessary eon- seiiuence. (rf) The principle alxne enuucnited, viz., v.'ha/ i.i liiw for o innn /.s hiw for a iroman in ximilnr nhition.-^, even if correct as tlius generally expresseil, is not laid down iti the l^evitic il law, and tluue- fore should not be assumed in inter|)reting that law to the effect of adding new degrees to thoso for- bidden. Besides it is manifest that although the relation of a man to the sister of his wife is in a .sense similar to that o'' a woman to tlio brother nf bur husband, that is, of a m.iu to his brother's wife, still in several r 'spects there is a marked difference -a dilfereuce inileed so great as to preclude the inference that l)e",'iuse marriage in the latter case is forbidden, therefore it must be unlawful in i\w former. In tb''Matter marriage is e\[)ressly prohiltited, e\cei)t in one spiMMtied case (l)eut. xxv. ."i-10), but in ' "■, former it is allowed uiuler a linutation expressed in Lev. wiii. 18. {!)) The secor'"."',)rineiple, viz.. the itrohiliilion, of a ilr(/ree more rrmofe inrolrts tht lo-ohihifiioi of one lesn remote, is , onitted where the relations invoive.d are the sa,mf iu kind. But it is denied thut any degree more i.jmote of the kind of relation specified in verse 18, is fcubidden in the law, that is, anymore distant relative of a wife in the collateral line. Hence this i)riMei|)le is not to be apjilied to the marriage io ijuestion. ((•) As to the phrase "any that is near of kin to him, " Lev. xviii. (J, and the argument founded theron : As has been already stated, this phrase is ap|ilied t(> relationships by natural descent and relatinnships by marriage; there beiufj seven of the former and eight of the latter specified. But whether verse 18 gives an additional instance to be included under that phrase is in dispute. Now, in reference to this matter it appears that in the Ijm'ilieal law blood relatives, women niai'ried to lilood relatives, and the wife's olood relatives iu the direct line, are regarded as "near of kin," and thus marriage with them is permanently barred, whereas marriage with a wife's sister in forbidden only during the wife's life-time. It is thus held that the law does not regard this degree us "near of kin." ((/) The marginal rendering (me wife to another cannot be admitted, (a.) Because, while Inha is translated wife in verse 8 and woman in verse 17, in the wliole context nrhoth is trauslateil .winter. Now, the marginal rendering translates the latter word another, while it gives to the former a literal cl. AIM'KNDIX. meaning, translatini; it I)y the si..>cific_ term joi/c and not the general term ?«o/rerni— thus there is a mixing of the literal with the idiomatic use of the wonU. Tlie translators themselves indicate the diffivnilty attaching to the marginal renderin.,' ; for "one" is printed in plain letters to show t'nat there is no word in the Hebrew for "one,"' but that it is supplied by the translators. The literal rendering, "and a woman to her sister.'" needs no supplement, but the idiomatic use, "r,ne to anotlier," requires that the objects prohibited should be mentioned. (/3) The rendering is not in accordance with idiomatic use, for the idiomatic plirases, a mun to his brother and n icoiiuni to hir iishr, are invariably preceded by soni" wonl in the plural, showing to whom they apply. This umis would require in verse 18 some such fr)nn as atxl wiren, a woman to her sister, thou Khali not take, ctr., whereas in this passage no preceding phwal word is found. Hence the phrase can not be interpreted idiomatically, (y) It is manifest tiiat polygamy canno'. be here expressly forbidden, inasmuch as it is elsewhere in the Mosaic law t(derated and regulated ; and most certainly ])olygamy is not one of the abominations referred ti> in verse "Jit of this cliapter, to be punished by "cutting off from the peoj)]!-." ((') As to the alleged disgraceful or vile character of the action signified liy "uncovering naked- ness," it is to l)e noted that it occurs in verse ]!> in such a connection as shows that tlie turpitude of the offence does not ilepend on the relation of the parties to each other, and may be applieil to cases where the barrier is temporary, as well as to those in which it is permanent. It is obvious tiiat if the particular case of a wife's sister is, according to tlie foregoing argu- ments, not within the prohibited degrees, the allied relations, viz., those of wife's aunt and wife's niece, are also excluded. o. In coming, now, to a judgment as to the Scri[)tural authority on which marriages with a wife's relatives, within the degrees prohibited by the Confession of Faith, are condenmed, the Committee find — (1) That the Mosaic law of incest is of permanent obligation, and that marriage ought not to be within the degrees of consanguinity or affinity forbidden in the Word. (2) That the proposition contained in clause third, viz., "a man may not marry any of his wife's kindred nearer in blood than he may of his own," is, in the opinion of the Commitiee, not aufficiently sustained by the authority jf Scripture. III. The Committee being also instructed to " recommend what action should be taken in refer- ence to marriages within th.- forljiddeu degrees," respectfully submit the following recommendation, a,s following from the judgment stated above : — That church discipline shall not be exercised in regard to marriage with a wife's sister, wife's sunt and wife's niece. The Committee having regard to the importance of the subject and the desirableness of the matter being fully considered by the Church before a final decision is given by the Supreme (^ourt, further ask leave to recommend — That the foregoing report ho sent in that of Montreal ami Ottawa. The Presby- teries of Toronto and Hamilton have 11 vacancies each ; Kingston has U; St. John and Limlsay, 7 each ; Sarnia, (> ; Princn l';n of saints, as well as conversion of .sinners ; a building up as well as a gathering in. Besides, there is fruit rcs\dtinir from (J-ospel labour which will not be known till the day of final judgment. And, in addition, the returns are too incomplete for a jjositive and satisfactory cimclusion. Nor did the (Committee prepare acolumn for entering the numbers added to the Church on their own profession, which could seaicely be done without the omission of one of those inserted. Baptism has been administered to 0, 14.) infants and 000 adults. Last year the numbers wer-^ '.V'4'> iif the former, iind 10^ of th.' latter, a considerabK' dcTreaseOf the vtie, n cn:isitb>iMbli> n'^mpa- lative increase of the other. All these have put on the Lord tiesus Christ by their o\tu «ct and whether or not their names stand on the Communicants' Roll, they have declared that they have tiiken up His cross and will follow Him. There is a falling off of ;{',) in the number of Ruling Fdders rejiorted. For this yivxt they are 4,4<)(i ; last year they were 4, .502. This gives an average of nearly to each imstoral chnrge, and on looking over the returns, we fiiid that this is about the average in each Presbytery. But Truro, with 15 pastoral chnrges has 125, and VVallace with 10 has 81, whereas Lunenburg and Sheliiunie with lias .<(), and Newfoundland with 2 has !), " (Hher Office-bearers " sum up to 0,948 ; the previous year they were 6,835, .an increase of nearly 113. Importance must .always be .attached to the column which records the number attending the week day Pr.ayer-meeting. By some, whether they are correct in their opinion or not, attend mce on this xervicu is regarded aa a better test of the state of spiritual life in a congregation, than attendance in clii. APPENDIX. Hia e»Bctuary on the Sabbath. Your Committee would he going out of their province were they to pronounce upon that opinion. It may be right, or it may be wrong ; but they may take the liberty of saying that every lover of the Church which Christ has redeemed with His blood will be pleased when he hears that numbers are gathering to the Prayer-meeting, and every one who take.s an inter- est in her affairs will be interested in the figures which record the numbers in attendance there. According to the returns with which we are dealing these were 37,001. This gives an increase (,f nearly 2,000-a cheering fact, and one which shows that notwithstanding the attractions which abound, and some of which are invested with such allurements, there is .still a goodly number, on the whole, of those who fear the Lord and speak of Him one to another. There is no reason to Ije juliilant over it. Indeed, looked at from one point of view, it should cause deep humiliation. If the .S|>irit of grace and of supplication were working to suchli depth and degree as should be experienced, it believers were yielding to its influences as they should yield, if the attraction of Christian fellowship were felt drawing as it ought to draw, and if the privilege of social public ai)proach to the throne i.f Him who has said, " open your mouth wide and I will fill it," were prized according to its wortii, would the average attendance at these meetings be no more than 50 for each pastoral charge, and not even that ? The three columns of the Statistics which relate to Sabbath School work must also be regarded as of eminent interest and importance. Chief among these is tlie one that stanils first, and wliii'li gives the numbers in Sabbath School and Bible Class. These classes are now essential parts of the Church's organization or machinery. They provide opportunities of instruction on the most nm- mentous of all subjects, the way of salvation, from the most precious of all books, the word of (Jod, for the very young, as well as for those whose minds are better stored, and whose faculties are more fully developed. Not unfrequently have they been the birth-place of souls, H(jw many have gone forth from them with the purpose to consecrate their lives to the service of Christ in the Gospel an the Home Field or the Foreign ? Looking at the turns it is found that 94,381 were availing them- selves of the privilege of Sabbath School teacliing, that these were waioed upon by 10,772 wlio were engaged in Sabbath School work, whether as teachers, or in other offices, and that there were 179,471 volumes in Sabbath School libraries to which they had access, and this last item represents only a j)art of the literature which has been called into existence, specially adapted to such institu- tions, and circulatt d among them. On each of the three classes of figures just given, there is a con- siderable increase upon those for the previous year. Of those attending Sabbath School and Biltle Class the Synod of Toronto and Kingston ranks first, with its 27,897 for its 212 pastoral charges. That of Hamilton and London ranks second, with its 2.5,385 scholars for its 203 charges. The third is the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, having 180 charges, and almost 21,000 on its Sai)bath Sclioul rolls. While Montreal and Ottawa Synod, as it has fewest charges, 147, so has fewest scholars, yet still i>; goodly number, nearly 16,220, The fewest in any Presbytery is in that of Newfoundland, yet there is an average of 19.> in each of its two pastoral charges, Victoria and Richmond has -t05, an average of 40 ; Lunenburg and Shelburne 098, an average of nearly 80 ; Toronto Presbytery has 9,391, an average of 180 ; Montreal 4,977, an average ot nearly 135 ; Hamilton 5,123, average more than 11(5 ; and London 3,735, an average of a little vnider 140. Missionary Associations exist in 343 congregations. Of these 60 are in the Synod of the Mari- time Provinces. In that Synod one Presbytery has no Association, namely, Victoria and Ivichmond ; one containing 9 pastoral clwrges has 1 ; one with two charges has 2 — the innnbers vary in the others. In the Synod of Moiitreal and Ottawa, the Preiibytery of Brockville has 2 Associatinns for its 16 pastoral charges ; Quebec ,5, with 20 charges ; Lanark and Renfrew about the same i)r(iiiiirtion; the others stand higher. Altogether for the Synod, which embraces 147 pastoral charges, there are 52 Associations. The Synod of Toronto and Kinstgon has 212 charges, and 117 Associations. The Presbytery of Whitby h:is one in each congregation ; (Jiielph has 2 5 for 25 charges, while that of Saugeen has only 3 for 19 charges ; Kingstcm, with 27 charges has S ; Toronto with 52 of the former has 22 of the latter. In the Synod of Hamilton and LnH which nber, on the hejnliilant the .Spirit Jerieiiced, it fellowship e throne of its Worth, luirge, itnil rd of (fod, es are more y have gone (iospel on ■ilin^' them- 2 who were there were 1 represents ich institu- re is a con- l and Bible "al charges.

The hile that of the former ral charges , having 1,{ d with last ease, as f( ir ing, shows itions. Ill draw forth of ap".',ial the reports lieli is pro sh, 248 — nearly one-half the total. In the Presbytery of Sydney there is the large sum of .§2,439, which gives an average of nearly S200 to each pafitoral charge. On turning to the report of that Presbytery, it is seen that there are only four con- gregations in arrears, and one of these is for only $'.}S. Of the others, one which promises §103, and whose pa.stor received from all sources .'S451, is ,^500 in arrear ; another promises .'§ii82, paid .S(ir)0, and expended )^00 on church and manse, is §111 behind , while the fourth, promising ISGOO, jiaid iJuHO, and reports $1,430 of arrears, evidently the accumulation of years. Unless there are some very exceptional circumstances to account for this state of things, and there is no note of such, surely the Presbytery should look into it ? In the Synod to which the Presbytery of Sydney belongs, there are three Presbyteries, namelj', Truro, St. John, and Newfoundland, in which there are no arrears. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa there is not a Pre.sbytery which does not report arrears, the largest sum being in that of Quebec, .S709, of which •'S179 are due by Hampton, a vacancy ; .'5270, by Point Levis, which promises 8400, but does not state the amount paid ; and !5320 by Kennebec Road, which reports 8320 promised, nothing paid, while the stipend received from all sources was SliOO. In the Synod of Toronto and Kingston, four Presbyteries report no arrears — Peterborough, Whitby, Lindsay and Guelph — the arrears in the other Presbyteries of that Synod aggregate ■81,521, of which the largest sum is in that of Barrie, 8511 ; the next in that of Toronto, .8433 ; the third in that of Kingstcm, 8.325; the fourth in that of Saugeen, 8131, and the fifth, Owen Sound, 8118. By referring to the report of Barrie Presbytery, it will be seen that there are eight con'^'regations in arrears, the sums varying from .811 to 815, $17, and so on to the maximum 830S in the case of Mulniur, and .849 in the case of Kosemont, both constituting one charge, so that 8357 of a total of arrears, in the bounds of .8511, are due by a cli.arge con.sisting of two congregations, each of which [>riimiHes 8300, one of which has paid .829H, with an arrearage of -8308, which must be the accumulation of years. In the Synod of Hamilton and London, with nine Presbyteries, three report no arrears — Chatham, Stratford and Maitland. The largest arrearage is in the Presbytery of Hamilton, 8313 ; the second in that of Paris, $178 ; the third in Sarnia, 8138 ; London stands fourth, 870 ; Huron hfth, .857, and Bruce next, $.50. Your Com- mittee do not judge it necessary to offer any special remarks on these cases, as by doing so, they fear they would unduly prolong their rept)rt, nor on the case of Manitoba, which gives arrears aggregating $1,944. The total amount of salaries received from all sources, was 8506,931, being an average of nearly $800 to each pastor, but an average of between only 8300 and 8400 to e.ach church or station supplied. Of course, these salaries rise in some instances, as in the case of city charges, to afjparently large sums, whereas in others they seem very low, and altogether inadequate to the comfortable support of those receiving them, but it is gratifying to know that vigorous steps have been taken to remedy the acknowledged injustice, it may be callers of the church. The contributions to the Schemes of the Church amount in the ag„'regate to .SlSo.fiO'i, last year $li)0,S04— increase .?lH,8[tl. The Synod of the .Maritime Provinces, however, which raised through- out its Presbyteries .$2i),152, has a falling ofl of a)o,47l,each being in this state except Lunenburg and Shelburn, which have an increase of -S !Sr>. The decrease in St. John is nearly .SJ.OOO. The Synod of Montreal and Ottawa has an increasi' of 811, -^GH, the amount reached being Sir),;)S4, but the Presby- tery of Q{it'bec has fallen otf .•$7o8, and that of Bcoukville .?22. All the others report an increase, notably that of Mi>ntreal of upwards of .S7,OjO. The Synod of Toronto and Kingston shows an increase of •S'.),()07, but three Presbyteries in its bounds have fallen off iu their contribution^ ; one, Toronto, has advanced by nearly •'?S,O0l). In the Synod of Hamilton and Loudon, there ii a decrease of .'S320 in three Presbyteries. Manitoba has raised S'-7(i7, an increase of $2.i'X Synod and Presbytery Funds have had contributed to thoui S!,."i49, and 870,4111 have been raised for all other religious and beuuvolent pur|)oses, being something more thon 83,000 in the previous year. In 1882-83 Sabbath School aiid Bible Classes sent in .814,730 for the purposes of Missions ; in 1883-84 they raised .8ir>,744, or an increase of ..81,014. As there were only 204 more under instruction in these classes in the latter year than in the earlier one, the addition is the more worthy of notice. The average per pu|)il for the (me year was a little under sixteen cents, and for the last year a little under seventeen, Your Cimnnittee think, however, that a larger income for Missionary purposes might be derived from this source, that Pastors, Superintendents, and Teachers should bring the cliiims of Mission worlc prosecuted by the Church more frequently and at greater length before their young people, instruct them more fully as to the fields in which oi)8ratiims are earri ?d on, and incite in them an appreciation of the privilege, as well as a sense of the duty of giving what they can to carry the gospel to the spiritually destitute in this large Dominion, with its rapidly increaning populaticm. and to those sitting in heathen darkness. Proceeding now to deal with the last column in the Financial Returns, your Committee can state that the total income for all i)urposes throughout the year was $1,453,.534, as .against 81,422,783 of the previous year, giving, it will be observed, an increase of $30,751. Of this sum Manitoba con- tributed SS2,G!)0, while in the preceding year it raised 8S.5,8.".5. Two of the Synods, those of the Maritime Provinces and of Montreal and Ottawa show a decided increase, in the other two, there is a decrease, but your Committee do not doom it necessary to enter upon a more minute examination. As stated near the beginning of this report, it was suggested that information should be col- lected regarding the salaries paid Professors in our Colleges, derived as these are from the cimtribn- tions of the people. Only two Presliyteries have reported these, namely Kingston, with five professors who receive from all sources 80,450, and Manitoba whose professorial staff draws 87,000. The Superintendent of Missions also draws as remuneration for his official services $1,800. rollLcLing the returns nuule on Mission Stations by the twenty Presbyteries repoiting such, w« find that there are 240 Churches or I'ields supi)lied ; tliat in these there is sitting acciunuiodation jirovided for 0030 persons, that the number of families is 3108, and of single persons KiO ; that there are 3303 communicants enrolled, and that the additions during the year were 253, and the removals !)0. Baptism was administered to 240 persons, 23 of whom were adults. In these stations there are 100 elders, some of them, as in the Stratford Presbytnry, being without any, and others, such as St. John and Barrie, having a considerable number. The same remark will apply to other ofiice- hearers. Of these there are 101 in all, of whom <)5 are in the Presbyuery of Barrie, 15 in that of Chatham, and also in Kingston, while St. John. Miramichi. and Guelpli, have 10 each. Week-day prayer-meetings are attended by 938 persons. In the Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes there is an attendance of 2,204 in charge of 422 teachers and others engaged in this department of the Cluirch s service, and the number of volumes in the libraries of these Schools, is 3807. Five of the Field* are provided w'th Manses. APPENDIX. clv. The total riinmuit of Stipentl in-oniiseil was .?r,04.'>. Tiie total ainotnit expended for Con^'rega- tional purposes was $12,323, . " 'vhich S'.'iSCio, or considerably above $1,000 more than p^onli^'ell, were paid as Stipend, $1,742 expenrttJ on f'hnrch or Manse, and §118 on other incidental expenses. These items added together give only Sll, ''25 for all congrej,'ational expenditure, but the discrepancy is accounted for by the omission of either one or two sums in the report from Montreal, the entry for Stipend paid being §505, and that for all congregational olijects 8003, without anything to show the use made of the balance, $308. The total contributii.ns to the Sclieuies of the Church amounted to $622. In only twelve Presbyteries was anything raised for the Ordinary Fund of the ('i>lleges, amounting to $^7, and in only three for the Manitoba College, $15. Sixteen contriliuied to the Home Mission Fund $102, one to the Supplementing Fund of the Maritime Provinces $0, and four totho Augmentati, and there was one % who had l)nt recently resigned ; 10 translations were granted to charges in the bounds, and 39 to those in other bounds, giving a total of 49 ; 11 died durinij the year, and there are 4f> ministers not in the pastorate, and whose names are not on Presbytery rolls. An Overture by the Presbytery of Sarnia regarding the method of reckoning the members of families ori}j;inal!y intended for this Assenjbly, in tho oongregitions of the (!hurch has been tran- mitteil simpliciter to your Committee by the Hynod of Hamilton and London, they would recom- mend that it be handed over to the Committee on Statistics that may be appointed. Your Committee close their report with the following recommendations : 1. That Presbyteries be enjoined at once to adopt measures to have all arrears of stipend due by congregations in their bounds paid. 2. That Presbytery clerks be reminded of their duty to return all names upcm their rolls, both Professors in Colleges, Ministers who have reti'ed with the leave of the Assembly, and others, and that the salaries of such be entered in the colr.mn for stipend paid as well as promised. 3. That steps be taken to secure fuller, more accurate and seasonable reports from Presbyteries, and that, with a view to this, each Presbytery be instructed to appoint a Committee at its first meeting after tho beginning of the year, or sooner, charged with the duty of collecting and tabu- lating the Statistical and Financial Reports of Congregations in the bounds ; and that it be referred to the Committee to be appointed by tnis Assembly for the ensuing year to endeavour to ascertain if the Congregational year might not in all cases, as it is now in many, be made coterminous with the Calendar year. All of which is respectfully submitted. ROBERT TORRANCE, Convener.

Mr. McCannell was a native of Collingwood, Ontario, and received his training for the ministry at Queen's College, Kingston. He had but recently entered on the work of the ministry. Exhaus- tion and exposure in the discharge of hia duty brought on Typhoid Fever, which, after three weeks of suffering, issued in his death. APPENDIX. ccxliii. HEV. ALEXANDER FRAZER, of Beulah, in the Presbytery of Manitoba, died after a brief illness on the 24th October, 1883. Mr. Frazer waa educated at Knox College, and was ordained on the 24th October, 1861. He occupied several fields as a pastor, and was known as an earnest and diligent worker, a man of few words, but diligent and faithful in every duty. He left a large family and many warm friends. REV. GEO. WALKER, of New Glasgow, in the Presbytery of Pictou, died on the 2nd February, 1884. Mr. Walker had retired from the active duties of the ministry, but still went out and in among the people, by whom he was greatly beloved and respected. His death was sudden, He waa a native of Greenock, Scotland, and came to Nova Scotia in 1848. For the period of thirty years he faithfully and succesfully discharged the duties of the pastoral office. REV. J. T. PAUL, of the Presbytery of Lindsay, died at his residence, Bolsover, on the 8th March, 1884, in the seventy-fourth year of his age, and the thirty-fourth of hia ministry.

Mr, McKenzie was a native of Inverness-shire, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1834. He was p, truly good and devoted man, whose influence was very 51 eat among tbp Presbyterians, and especially the Highlanders, in western Canada. His memory will long be cherished not only in Zorra, but throughout the west. REV. D. COUTTS died at Brampton of apoplexy, after a long and lingering illness, in the eighty- third year of his age. He was a natiye of Perthshire and came to the United States in 1835. He had previously studied medicine as well as theology, and had a diploma as surgeon. He was led to settle in the Township of Esquesing, where he continued about seven years. He afterwards settled in Chinguacousy. In 1867 he retired from the active duties of the ministry, and shortly after removed to Brampton. His labours for many years were most abundant. REV. JAMES THIRDE, who had but recently come to Canada, died at Huntsville, Muskoka, on the 9th April, 1884. Mr. Thirde was appointed to takr charge of Huntsville and associated stati(ms. He had barely been one month in his new field when he was seized with inflammation of the lungs, which, after a week, terminated fatally. He was a native of Dundee, Scotland, and had laboured in various fields before he came to Canada. REV. A. F. KEMP, LL.D., died at Hamilton on the 3rd May, 1884. Dr. Kemp came to Canada from Bermuda in 1855, when he was settled as pastor of St. Gabriel Street Church, Montreal. He was afterwards settled at Windsor; subsequently he accepted a professorship in Olivet College, Michigan, and afterwards in Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois. Returning to Canada in 1874, he accepted the position of Principal of the Brantford Ladies' College, which he held until 1878, when he removed to Ottawa as the Principal of the Ladies' College there. Dr. Kemp was a man of extensive and varied acquirements, a ready speaker and a clear and forcible writer. His literary labours were abundant. With Eev. Dr. Fraser, now of London, England, he edited the Canada Presbyterian; and he also con-~>iled the " Digest of the Minutes of the Presbvterian Church in Canada." He was one of the editors of the "Hand Book of the Presbyterian Church in Canada." Dr. Kemp was a man of great force of character and, at the same time, of a genial and kindly disposition. For some time before his death he was preaching the Gospel in various places as opportunities were presented. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE CHURCH AND MANSE BUILDING FUND. The Board of Management of the Church and Manse Building Fund are gratefid to God for the amount of work that He has enabled them to do during the past year. Financially the year has been a very trying one in Manitoba ; and yet the stii mlus given by meansoi this fund to the efforts of our people in Church erection has been such that we have to report aid extended to iwenty-five buildings, as compared with aid to fourteen reported last year. Of this number four have received assistance in the form of a free grant, the grant being in eacli case given to complete the building, viz. : one at Deloraine, and three in the Prince Albert groui), the people at Prince A.lbert having, at the same time, erected a br'ck manse without any assistance from the fund. In all the other cases, aid has been extended in the form of a loan, the periods allowed for repayment varying from two to three years. Two manses have been erected, ono at Hat Portage, and one at Gladstone. Two buildings, combining church and manse, according to the plan suggested by the Board, have been erected, one at Virden, the other at Broadview. The church erected at Kegina has, tlirough a loan from the Board, been converted into a manse ; the small'church at (iladstoue, which was inadequate for the gi'owing congregation, has been enlarged, and nineteen other places of worship have been added to our list. The buildings to which aid has been given may be presented under three groups : those on the main line of the C. P. Railway ; those in .Southern Manitoba; and those lying north of C. P. Rail- way. In many cases labour has been contributed by the congregations, the value of which is not included in the estimate of the total cost of the building here given. ccxliv. APPENDIX.

(25))The Ridge : Prince Albert group. Grant to finish church, $100. Cost, $300. The importance of the Prince Albert district, in connection with our work,may be inferred from the fact that, out of a population of about 6,000 souls, we number more than 100 families on our roll. The Board in making grants to these churches, stipulated that in the event of any one of the build- ings being sold the grant should be retiirned. The total advances from the fund on buildings for the year have thus been $12,290 ; and the total cost of those buildings, $28,730. Additional advances were made to complete two buildings aided by the Board last year, viz. : to Nelson, loan on manse, $200, and to Marringhurst, grant for combined church and manse, $100. It will be seen from the foregoing statement, and from the Treasurer's report, that some of the congregations have already repaid instalments on the loans advanced by the Board. In a number of other cases instalments are due, but, owing to the financial depression and the failure of many settlers to realize as much as they had hoped for from their crops, payment has been delayed. Security is taken by the Board in the form of notes given by the trustees of the several congregations, or in the form of a mortgage upon the church property, but, of necessity, the Board must rely for the pay- ment of these loans upon the good faith of the congregations. The sitey for all these buildings have been given to the church free of cost, the majority of those on the main line of the C. P. R. having been given by the Canada North- West Land Company. At Fort Qu'Appelle, where it was important to secure a site, although the church has not yet been erected, and where land could be procured only from the H. B. Company, the Board have advanced the necessary payment, the site being given at one-half the ordinary prices. The C. P. R. Company have conveyed building materials for churnhes erected at pomts along their line at one-half the usual freight rates ; and the Board has been nble to secure lumber and other materials in many cases at lower cost than could have been done by the congregations. APPENDIX. ccxlv. During the year a considerable number of names have been added to the list of subscribers to the fund in response to the appeals of the Superintendent of Missions, and a large proportion of former subscribers have paid the instalments promised by them. There have been received, in all, by the treasurer, on account of subscriptions, since the last report was submitted to the AsaeinV)ly, 811,742.26, of which $(5,395..59 are on account of subscriptions reported in the statement submitted last year, and on new subscriptions ?5, 346.67. The total amount subscribed, as per last year's report, was 9f 0,772.25 ; to which has been added, during the present year, ?]4,547.01 ; total subscribed to date, §95,319.26, of which were paid last year, as per report, ?20,903.54, and this year, as stated above, ijll, 742.26 ; total paid, $32,645.80. The board have to notice, with gratitude, that by far the greater numljer of these suDscriptions have been received from contributors in the older Provinces, without whose aid the work of church- erection in the North-West would make but little progress. They have also to acknowledge the payment by the executors of the late Edward Mackay, Esq., of Montreal, of the sum of 81,000, a fiequest similar to that received last year from his late brother, Joseph Mackay, Es(i. The Board consider, with the utmost care, every application that comes before them, requiring, of course, that it be approved by the Presbytery before they entertain it, and they have tried to practise themost watchful economy in the expenditure of the funds entrusted to them. Finding that the designs of churches submitted by them last year did not include one of a building sufficiently cheap to suit many localities, they have, through the kindness of Mr. G. W. Stewart, of Winnipeg, added to their list the design of a neat and simple church to accommodate 100, which can be erected at a cost not exceeding .?1,000. These de.signs, with the working plans which the Board are prepared to supply, are helpful in many quarters. The Board cannot close this report without expressing their very deep sense of the imjiortance of this work which the Church has entrusted to them, and the great need there is of increased outlay in this direction if we are to keep pace with the growth of settlement in the North-West. A number of new api)lications have been approved by the Presbytery, so that although a balance on hand of §7,198.96 appears in the Treasurer's statement it will all be required immediately ; even then, the pressing wants of many fields will still remain untouched. Many communities in the L>orth-West, consisting largely of persons from other parts of the Dominion, and attached to the Presbyterian Church, are still destitute of a place of worship, and already, this season, a considerable number of settlers have come from Scotland with every prospect that a much larger number shall follow them. It needs no words to show the urgent necessity of supplying these people with church services, and of providing places where they can meet to worship the God of their fathers, and dwellings for those who may be their ministers.

The ofRct . r publication was changed, at the Ist of May, from No. 260 to 198 St. James Street. Montreal. About the same time circumstances made it necessary to make a_ change of printers Tenders having been asked for the contract for printing, paper, and despatching, it was awarded to the (Utzette Printing Co., Montreal, who sent in the lowest tender. While these changes occasioned temporary inconvenience and some expense, the interests of the Record have not sufltered.^ The new office is better in some respects than the former one, and our new printers have, so far, given entire satisfacticm. The circulation of the Record increased, during the past year, about one thousand copies, and is now 36,000. The editors acknowledge, with thanks, the valuable services of several regular correspondents, at home and abroad, who, by their literary contributions, have aided in sustaining the interest of the magazine. The receipts and disbursements are both a trifle less than APPENDIX. ccxlvii, last year. The balance in band at this date is 81,10)^.14, but as there are still six months to be paid for out of the subscriptions of the year, at a cost of, at least, §4,500, it is evident that the balance is no indication of profit, rather the contrary. It is evident, however, that the Record will pay its own way, as it has always hitherto done, and perhaps that, is as much as can reasonably be expected of it. The following is an abstract of the receipts and disbursements for the year . — PIKCEIPT3. Balance from last year $709 83 Subscriptions and advertisements 8,643 22 g9 ,353 05 KXrENDITUHE.

To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty : May it please Your Majesty : We, the ministers and elders, representatiyea of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, in Annual General Assembly convened, beg anew to express to Your Majesty the sentiments of loyalty which we entertain, and which, we are assured, are entertained by the entire Church represented by us, towards Your Majesty's person and government. We recognize in Your Majesty the illustrious head of a great and free State, uniformly exercising the prerogatives of your high office in conformity with the principles of the Constitution, and adorning it with every personal, domestic and Christian virtue; consequently we cherish and, as we have opportunity, inculcate the respect due to a sovereign who combines with personal excellence a scrupu- lous regard to the rights of her subjects. While we, with our fellow-subjects in this Dominion, are endeavouring to adapt to so much of this great continent as we have received for a heritage, those principles of ci" and religious liberty which have been handed down to us by our fathers, it is our happiness to ^ njoy the sense of strength and security that arises from our connection with Your Majesty's empire. In common with all your subjects, we take a deep interest in whatever concerns the welfare and happiness of Your Majesty and your illustrious family; and as our hearts have often been touched by the sympathy evinced by Your Majesty with the sorrows and trials of your subjects, we beg to assure Your Majesty of the profound sorrow with which we learned of the great trial which recently overtook Your Majesty in the sudden and lamented death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Albany, cut down in the prime of manhood, after entering upon a career which gave promise of distinguished usefulness. That these and all other appointments of God's Providence may be made to contribute to Your Majesty's abiding welfare, through the guidance of Him who makes all things work together f r good to them that love Him ; and that Your Majesty may long continue to reign over us and ue enriched with all temporal and spiritual blessings, is our united and heartfelt prayer. In name and by appointment of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. ADDRESS TO THE GO V^ERNOR-GENERAL. To His Excellency, etc., etc., Oovernor-Getieral of Canada : May it please Your Excellency : We, the ministers and elders of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, who r.re met in General Assembly, embrace the opportimity now happily presented to us of extent'ing to Your Excellency the hearty expression of our goo.l wishes, and of offering to you our congratulations on the occasion of your appointment as Governoi General of Canada. From your high personal attainments, from the traditions of your illustrious ' "nily, from your enlarged experience in public aflfairs, and from your well-known catholicity of seni.ment, we confidently anticipate for you a large place in the aflfec- tions of our people. ccxlviii. APPENDIX. Tmsting that Yonr Excellency may be guided in the administration of the affairs of the Dominion and in the discharge of the varied duties of your high office by the wisdom which cometh from above, and that you may occupy that place in the regard of the people so justly and unanimously accorded to you by all classes of Her Majesty's subjects in Canada on the occasion of your arrival among us, we earnestly pray that Your Excellency and Lady Lansidowne may be long spared to exercise a benign influence on the Government of the Dominion by the maintenance of th; ; righteousness which alone exalteth a nation.
