The Report set forth in substance, that, in tlie opinion of eminent jurists, there is a uniform law on the subject, condemning lotteries in general ; but that the Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter 159, permit raffles for prizes of small value at any bazaar, for charitable obj'^sts, provided that permission is obtained from the City or other Municipal Council, and that the articles to be raffled are such as had first been offered for sale, and not exceeding in value the sum of fifty dollars ; that the Statute makes further exception in favour of the distribution of works of art by incor- porated societies of arMsts ; that the Act 32 Victoria, Chapter 36, of the Province of Quebec, legalizing the holding of lotteries for religious and charitable objects, without limit as to the value of the commodities to be disposed of, is, in the view of the Com- mittee, unconstitutional, and affords no protection, as against the general enactment, to those acting under it, and closing with recommendations for adoption by the Assembly. The recommendations were read, and on motion of Dr. Campbell, were adopted, and are AS follows ; — 1. That, as the Federal Legislature is recognized as having exclusive jurisdiction ovor this matter, the General Assembly petition the Dominion Parliament to amend the exist- ing law by removing the exceptions in favour of charitable, religious, and art objects; and that the cooperation of other religious denominations be sought in order to secure the amendment in question. 2. That, in the meantime, the people of our Church be warned from the pulpit not io take advantage of the law, nor to learn to trust to chance in any of the concerns of life, [246] THB PRB8BYTSRUN CHURCH IN CANADA. 53 }f the various small or great, and especially, that vigilance be exercised that no form of lottery be sane- tioned at Church sales.

REPORT OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE (WESTERN SECTION). The Home Mission Committee, in presenting their Annual Report to the General Assembly, record their gratitude to the Great King and Head of the Church, for the large measure of succesH that haH atceud*^d their labours during the ynar. In every dep trtment the work has been prose- cuted with commendable diligence on the part of our Misditmaries. Mnny new iields have been occupied in '\» remote Provinces of the Dominion, while in the older missitm stations are advanc- iiiK to the status of regularly organized congregations, and augmented congregations are Incoming 8elf-8UHtaining. The Committee ha' ctill to report a lack of funds. The Home Mission fund closes the year with a deticit of $D:{9.89. That the deficit is not greater, has been accomplished by very special efforts throughout the Church, which have increased the number of special donations, far in advance of former years. But for this, the fund, so far as the regular contributions of congre- gatii>n8 are concerned would again have been entirely inadequate to meet its obligations. The Reserve Fund has been drawn upon to the extent of $1,000. 'I he Augmentation Fund, in spite of the hopes indulged in, that the contributions would at least meet the year's expenditure, also ahuws an indebtedness of $1,486.27. In the Report submitted, there will be found notes nf the progress of Home Missions and Aug- mentation, in the different Presbyteries of the Chmch, certain changes recommended by the Cnm- miitee, and a detailed statement of the state of both funds. The reports of the Students' Mis- sinnary Societies and the Lumbermen's Misxion are also presented, in a cimdensed form. In the Appendix, complete statistics of all the miosiim stations and augmented congregations are given, and the names of all the Missionaries, Probationers and Catechists employed under the direction of the Committee. SUMMARY OF MISSION AND AUGMENTATION WORK. PRESBYTERY OF QUEBEC. Mistions. Mission work in Quebec is carried on under great discouragements, and the hardships of some of our mi'tsiimaries are not surpassed in Foreign Mission work. The Presbytery has to contend ■with a dominant Church, which overshadows our work almost everywhere. The poverty of many of our people, the departure of many f.imilies for new lands, the presence nf the French, the wide area over which the families nominally ours are scattered, and educaticmal problems, all make misnion work extremely difficult. Mission effort in this Province is holding the fort, with the hope that better days are yet in store for us. What is needed is men and means, and the hearty sym- pathy of tho Church at lar^e. Every Presbyterian mission is a means of blessing, both directly and indirectly. Notwithstanding obstacles, seven missiim stations wore supplied during the sum- mer-four by Students, and two hy ordained Missionaries. During th« winter services were main- tained in three stations regularly, in two fortnightly, and in two occasionally. The work of the year has been encouraging in some fields, and rather disheartening in others. Metis leports a church almost free of debt, costing $i,.500, and an organ costing $.'W0, all complete within the la^t five years. The same rei»ort says, "I have little fears for the future of our cause here." Sawyerville is a new field, and prospects hero are hopeful. Massawippi and Richby is not so encouragmg as it was a few years a'.,'o. Many families have left, and the field is cut up into many divisions by Baptists, Adveutists, Univei-saliats, Methodists, p]piscopalians, etc. Valcartier is not advancing much. Many families also have left here. Mixed marriages prove a hindrance, and the poverty of the soil does not hold out the hope of our cause ever being very strong in this place. Yet these people must be cared for. Kennebec Road, worked by an ord lined missionary, feport^ little change. Here the people are poor, and the men are mostly engaged in lumbering dur- ing the winter. The Gaelic settlements in Megantic and Compton, are in great need of good mis- sionaries. From the above brief statement it is evident that in the Presbytery of Quebec there are Dwny interesting mission fields, and more couM bo oi>eneil if only men and means were provided. Surely, when we realize the amount of good accomplished in this Presbytery, through the Home llissiiin Committee, by the small outliy of $l,.'iO', men of means in the Church will be willing to "tip the Committee in the prosecution of such good work. Au'jmtntation, The Augmentation Scheme has proved a great help to this Presbytery. Without this Scheme, I or iome other with the same object in view, it would be veiy ditticult, if not impossible, to secure 1 11. Appendix No. 1. iuitable pa^torB for the majority of .)ur cor./regations. We have ten augmented congreRations, doing go;)J work, anJ contriiiutinK liberally foi the n\ipport ot ordinances, and yet without thf uiii of the Augmentation Fund it t'uuld be V'Ty diflirjtilt for them to support their paHtors. Durinjj the year Levis and Windsor con^,refeation8 have made extensive repairs on their church property. Kingsbury built a fine manse. Danville is reducing its debt on the manse. Scotstown is ithiiwing signs ' and Ijeeds are ns formerly. Windsor asks a reduced grant. Only one congregation, Three l^rvern has asked for an increase, and this is caused by the renio'. al of several of the best supporters of the C'hiirch. The liberality of many of the congregations in the Quebec Presbytery, for the Schemes and for ministerial support, will 'oinpare favourably with other I'resbyteries more favourably situated. The money spent in Augmentation in the Presbyi.erv i.i put to a good use. PRKHBYTKRY OK MONTRE.\L. Missions, There is little change to note in regard to the misjion fields of this Presbytery for the past year. The proces* of depopulation among the English-apeaking i)et.ple of the Province of Queliec con- tinues gradually but surely, and in some distkicts it becomes increasinj^dy difficult for the people to manitain Gospel ordinances. Strenuous ePorts are being made hy the Baptists in certain portions of the western part of the Province, where the ^^nglish element is numerically small, thus weaken- ing somewhat other denominations that have been long in che field, and unduly multiplying the number of missionaries in these districts. This year we report an incroased number of families and communicants, chiefly owing to the opening, last ■iprin^, of a new mission tield, in the county of Huntingdon, Trout River Line, where the work of the Missionary last sr nmer was greatly prospered, and where there is promise of a self -supporting charge by a re-arrangement of the adjoining congiegations. At one oi the Statitms (Cote St. Gabkiel), in the Mille Isles group, a new church building is being erected, which it is uxpeoted will soon be completed and opened free from debt. It is in cim- templation to re-arrange the Avoca district, and if the plan suggested is carried out, the result will be the strengthening of two fields and the more efficient working of the whole district. Augmentation. Whiia most of the augmented congregations in the Presbytery remain stationary, or barely hold their own, there is marked improvement in some of the others. This is especially true ( .' Taylor Churoh, Montreal, the congregation increasing every year in the number of families and communicants, and in '.heir contributions for ministerial support. Farnham Centre has become so weakened that it has been transiV^rred t.o the Home Mission list, and is this summer supplied by a StudeLt. The congregation of Hoc'.' 'irn and Gore, which has been without a pastor for two years, has recei'.tly 'lalled a Graduate of the Presbyterian College, Montreal. The call has beeu accepted, and the settlement taken place this month. During the nast year, $2,32.5 was drawn by the Presby- tery from the Augmentation Fund, as compared with 5^2,933 the preceding year. The fund has been of mcalcuiable benefit to this Presbytery and Province, giving heart and courage to our people in the sparsely settled English-speaking districts, and aiding tbem in securing the regular services of the minister of their choice. When the fund was instituted, in 1883, there were seventeen congre- gations in the Presbytery contributing less than the minister's salary of $750 per annum and the Manse. Four of these congregations are now self-supporting, and the contributions towards salary have increased by fully f 1,U00 urr annum. The amount drawn by the Presbytery from the fu.id in 1884 was $3,600 as compared wiih $2,325 last year. PHE8BYTKEY OP GLKNGARRY. Missions. In January last a new station was erected at the Railway Depdfc of Apple Hill. It ia supplied in connection with Gravel Hill, the two being only six miles apart. Together they promise for the current year $400, and it is expected that after the exiiiration of that time they will be self-sustain- ing. The services of the Re\. D. D. McLennan, ordained missionary, have been engaged for another year. Augmentation. The congreg<*tion of Alexandria have advanced their promise of stipend by $125, and expect i: a short time to be self-sustaining;. The position of the other "upplemented congregations remains unchanged. PRESBYTERY OP OTTAWA. Miss ions. All the mission fields within the bounds of this Presbytery were regularly and efficiently supplied by Students during last summer. The Presbytery is still unable to overcome the difficulty of obtain- ing suitable men, as ordained missionaries, to occupy the several fields within the bounds that roquire the services of such, and, as a consequence of the irregular supply which they receive during the v'inter months, the progress is not so rapid as it would otherwise be. Through the kind and generous assistance of the Students of Montreal College, the Presbytery were enabled to give several of the fields a somewhat gool measure of service during last winter, while another field received full supply from the Pastors -^nd Ministers without charge within the Presbytery. Two of the fields, however, lie at such a distance, both from any railroad and from any settled charge, that they have received no supply since October last. On the whole there ia a fair measure of progress in the mission fields, and the outlook for the future is in a good degree encouraging. Augmentation. This Scheme has been of great benefit to the Presbytery. Its benefits are so manifest that it has secured the approval of all tne congregations. And though it is not supportfad with that full mea- Appendix No. 1. iii. congrenatiiins, vithout the iiiii 8.

The whol» field in this Presbytery has 1 oen wrought with more than usual lucceg^, an better and fuller supply lias bien available. Eganville and Scotch Bush Mif.^ion district has prospered greriHy, a new church huvin^' been erected at Scotch Bush, and a comfortable manse having been provided by the Kf,'anville section. This misiion is now transferred to the list of Augmented chart,e», with good prospects before it. At Chalk River, in the Alice group, a new church was opened in Septem')er, and it is now in contemplation to divide the district, which is too large for one man, and has so prospered, that with the same grant, two men may be placed in the field. Litchfield has been working onward again, and rearrangements have been made in the interest of the work, which lead us to hope that it may soon occu|>y its old place among the regular charges ot the Presbytery. Augmentation. The Presbytery keeps steadily in view the reduction of grants, and has been measurably suc- cessful this year, notwithstanding the shortage in crops and the general depression in business. Ro-is and Cobden, under the faithful ministry of Mr. Blakely, has become a ^ear by Students of Queen's College Missionary Association and others, with increased success. A student has been appointed for the summer. The prospects here are good. 5. North Williamsburg and Winchester Springs : — I his field has been regularly supplied during the past winter with licentiates and others, eligible for a call, but without as yet any 8atisfactf>ry result. They have a list of $500 per annum already raised for the support of a minister, and the promise of $300 from the Committee, if the state oif the fund will permit. It is hoped that from the number of men who are to be sent in, a suitable selection will soon be made, and settlement effected. The contributions of our Presbytery towards the Home Mission fund have been a little in excess of those of former year«. Our Presbytery feels, however, that much more might easily be accom- plished in this matter. Augmentation. Our contributions towards this fund have been above those of any former year, and although we have not reached our assessment — $700 for the past year — yet, taking into account the many charges which have become self-sustaining through the operation of this scheme, since its inception, we have reason to think that our Presbytery has done well, and will yet do better. For our three augmented congregations we ask the lowest grant possible. To ask less, in any case, would be considerably to impair the eflSciency of the service in any of the charges now supple- mented, PRESBYTERY OK KINGSTON. Missions. There are fourteen mission fields within the bounds. Five of these are manned by ordained -Uissionaries. The others were supplied during the past summer by Students, and some of them as ■reiiuently as possible during the winter. ^■f iv. Appendix No. 1.

Augmentation. There were three aid-receiving congregations in the Presbytery up to last March. In two i)f these, very gratifying progress has been made during the past year. At Loaskdale a handsomf aini commodious manse has been erected u' a cost of upwards of $2,000, the greater part of which htu* already been paid. In coiHeque'ice of the completion of the manse the grant has been reduced liy J50. Karly last .Tune th- R«'V. W. G.

During; the winter there has been a cheering work of grace, and a large number has been added to the meniher' ship of the Church. At the meeting of Presbytery held in February la-t, the congregation came forward and state i no Further aiii would be required from the Committee, an announcement exceed- ingly gratifying to the Presbytery. Henceforth they give their minister $800 and a manse. To their faithful a td zealous young pastor, by the ble-^sing of God, is this marked improvement in a large measure die. No change has been reported from Fenelon Falls, yet the grants to the Presby- tery have been reduced by $3o0. PRE8BYTBBY OF TORONTO. Missions, In (1) Mount Albert and Ballantrae, (2) Stouffville, (3) Bethesda, (4) Malton, work was carried on with very great 8ati^faction, and the prospects are still more encouraging for the present year. 1. Mi-<8ion work within the city : — St. James Square congregation established a mission east of the Don liiver ; built a suitable church ; sent in efficient Sabbath School workers, and employeila Missionary. The results are a flourishing Sabbath School, and most encouraging Sabbath services. Kre long we hope to see this one of our self-sustaining congregations. 2. Old St. Andrew's Mission, in the north-east of the city :— Here the work was well maintained by the Sessi(m of the above church, and promises still larger results in the future. 3. Duchess Street : — This mission is in connection with Knox Church, and has an honoura'ole record. Good work was accoinplished last year, and yet the field needs much faithful service. 4. St. Mark's :— Very deciiied progress was made here. A new building has become a necessity, and already those connected with the mission have subscribed over $2,000. This is the mission of St. ./indrew's Church, King Street. j. Parkdale Mission :— It is very gratifying to state that whilst the splendid new brick church was only opened in the begining of January, 1888, a mission sprang into existence at the same time. and promises to be one of rapid development. There is already a church on a very desirable lot for the future permanent church. This interehting movement is under the Sessiim of Parkdale Church. H. Dover Court Vill tgts (North of Bloor Street) : — Here a church is being erected, and with a Student in the field good results are looked for. This mission is under the Session of Chalmerj Church. 7. Seaton Village :— A church is being built, and with its presence ii. , very desirable centre, a large increase both in the congregation and Sabbath School is expected. College Street Session have the over'^ight of this wtation. 8. Bloor Street West :— This mission has grown into a most promising congregation. With the beautiful School-ronm they now have, and a pastor, the prospect is second to none in the city for usefulness Most of the nd^sions will, in a few years, be more than self-sustaining charges. 9. Central Church Mission, in Elizabeth Street ; (10) Erskine Church Mission, in William Street ; and (U) the Davenport .Mission, under the care of Charles Street Church, are doing excel- lent work in their respective localities.

The annexation of Corbetton to Hominy's Mills and Honey wooeople there, aud at the close of the season a strong interest was expressed in having an ordained Missitm- ary, for whose stipend the people promiseel $120 per annum. As an ordained Missionary could not be obtained for them, Catechists were sent during winter. Mr. J. C. Stinson is at present labouring there, and it is hoped that the statitms may soon become a pastoral charge. Minesing, Midhurst and Craighurst ; also Knox Church, Flos, Gibson's and Phelpston have had winter service. CoUingwood and Gibraltar made an advance in not requiring aid from the Home Mission Fund. The hope expressed last year of their being uidted to another station and being formed into a pas- toral charge has not been fulfilled, but is still entertained. Thankful recognition of the labours of the Students' Missionary Society, of Knox College, has been frequently expressed by the Presbytery. Last year the society occupied seven groups of sta- vi. Appendix No. 1. tions in the Parry Sound nnd Muskoka districts, and about the same number of their missionaries will help in the Church's work in outlying fields of this Presbytery. Augmentation. Last year there were seven congregations of the Barrie Presbytery receiving aid from the Aug- mentation Fui.d. There are now ten : nevertheless the grants to the Presbytery have been con- siderably reduced. Three — Midland, Huntaville. etc., and Severn Bridge— receive the same sums as before. Four have the grants reduced, viz. : — Townline and Ivy, from $100 to $.50, grant to cease in October; Bracebridge, etc., from $300 to 8200; Parry Sound, from $400 to $200; PenetimKnii- shene, etc., from $-<00 to $250. The new grants are »■» follows ?— Waubaushene, etc., $200 from June last reduced, to $125 ; Knox Church, Flos, $-50 ; Esson and Willis Churches, Oro, $100. Mr, Findlay's Report. Muskoka and Parry Sound. — Progress in this field has been steady during the past year. Not only is the number of stations increasing, but also the membership in many of the stations snows a gratify- ing increase. As a rule faithful work always tells in this department. Further progress is being iMari keeping up their interest in the work. It is a good investment. If any mis- sionary on the field would see to it that it is supplied to every householder, being within the reacli of all, it would tell in the increased intelligence of our people regarding the work of our church, both at home and abroad. PRE8BYTKRY OF OWKN SOUND. Augmentation. The claims for augmentation are being reduced slowly, with prospect of some being removed altogether from the fund in the near future. Missions. A new church has been opened in Mar, one of the stations in the Indian Peninsula. Pre- parations are being made for building another this summer in the same group. Holland Centre has been organized in connection with Berkeley and Williamsford. Sarawa:: and Kemble, lately a mission field, has during the year had a pastor settled, with good hope of being self-sustaining &fier this year. The work has progressed during the year, and the winter supply has been better than for several years past. PREHBYTKRY OP 8AUGKBN. Missions. This Presbytery has two mission fields, comprising four stations, viz., Cotswold, which was supplied during the last summer by a Student. The services were well attended— and a number were added to the Church. During the past winter occasional supply was given to this field by neighbouring ministers. Balaklava, Ayton and East Normanby. This field was supplied during the past summer by a Student who preached once a Sabbath, at each of the stations services were well attended. During the past winter an ordained Missionary occupied the field. On account of the long distances l)etweeii .stations, and the short days, he was unable to give more than tw.i services on the Sabbath. Neigh- bouring ministers and lay help has given to the field about ten additional Sabbath services. La$' summer a new Church was built at East Normanby, which was opened free of debt. Occasional evening services have been given at Mildmay — a village a mile from Balaklava. Augmentation, During the past year the dififerent congregations of the Presbytery were as.seissed, according t' membership, for the amount asked of this Presbytery by the Assembly's Home Mi8.sion Committee. Some of the congregations raised the full amount of their assessment, one (Durham) more, bui uiost fell short : on the whole, more than half as much again has been raised this year than last year -and we hope that the amount contributed to this fund will still advance, as the claims of the fund become better known. PRESBYTERY OF GUELPH. Missions, The mission stations in this Presbytery are Eden Mills, under the charge of Mr. Strachannf Rockwood and Elmira, under that of Mr. Hamilton, Winterbourne ; Hawksville and Linwood, Knox Church ; Dracon and Metz, supplied by students during the summer, and by such others as may be available during the winter. Appendix No. 1. Vll. missionaries A new station was formed at Waterloo in the beginning of February. Hawksville and Linwood are the only ones receiving any grant from the Home Mission Fund. Augmentation. The contributions from this Presbytery to the Augmentation Fund came far short of the pro« portion it was expected to raise, amounting to little more than one-third. There is no congregation in the bounds in receipt of any grant from that fund. PKFSBYTKRY OF HAMILTON. Missions. Wentworth Church, Hamilton, has now reached the status of a congregation and has called a minister. A new church was built during the year, and substantial progress made. Cayuga and Mount Healy still continue on the list of mission stations ; but the Presbytery expects to see them formed into a settled charge before another year expires. A new station has been opened at St. Davids, and is connected with Haynes Avenue Church, St. €atharines. This field promises to grow, and will not long be on the list. Port Colbome, Port Dalhousie and Louth, have been regularly supplied. The former of these, Port Colbome, is the only mission field in the Presbytery that is not self-sustaining. Atigmentation. During the year Niagara and Blackheath, etc., fell vacant, and ask for no assistance during the vacancy. Merritton, Port Robinson and Dunnville were settled since the date of last report, and are receiving assistance. The grant to St. Ann's and Smithville has been reduced to $100 per annum. The number of settled ministers drawing from the fund is three. Wentworth Church, Hamilton, will require a small grant for a year or two. e being removed 'eninsula. Pre- PRESBYTERY OF PARIS. Missions. There are only two mission stations under the care of this Presbytery : (I) Balfour St. Mission, Brantford, which is under the care of and sustained by Zion Church ; and (i' Onondaga, which requires no aid from the fund. Augmentation, Very special efforts were made in this Presbytery during the year to increase the interest and liberality of the congregations in this fund. The amount allocated to the Presbytery was a)jportioned to the different Churches, and special sermons preached in all. Notwithstanding this, the amount contributed, while in advance of last year, is greatly below what was expected. Many of the country congregations .lo little for the scheme. The only augmented congregation in the Presbytery, is that of Mount Pleasant and Burford. During the year, a comfortable manse was erected for the minister, thus reducing the grant by $50. PRESBYTERY OF LONDON. Missions. The number of mission fields in this Presbytery is the same as last year. Springfield and Ayliner have been supplied for the last twelve months by an ordained missionary, and at both places substantial progress has been made. At Aylmer the services have hitherto been held in a rented hall, but steps are being now taken for the erection of a church, which, it is hoped, may be completed bafore the end of the present year. At Tempo there is not much change. Arrani,'einents have been made to supply East Williams by an ordained missionary for a year. Augmentation, In this Presbytery there are four supplemented charges :— 1st. London East, which has suffered consiilerably, both financially and numerically, from the closing of the car shops, etc., where many of the people were employed. Notwithstanding this, the congregation now promises more than formerly towards stipend. The church debt has been largely rediiceil, and it is hoped that very soon the grant from the Augmentation Fund will be also reduced. 2nd. Port Stanley, which has increased its contribution to stipend .?)0. 3rd. Kintore, which has also raised ^lO more for stipend. Through the increased liberality of these two congregations this Presbytery's claim on the Fund is reduced by •^100. 4th. Wardsville and Newbury, where the necessity for assistance remains the same as before. PRESBYTERY OF CHATHAM. Missiont, Windfall, Strangfield and Campbell settlements have been detached from their former connea* tions, and erected into a separate mission station. Tilbury Centre, though deprived of the aid of Windfall, yet, owing to the growth of the towDf i^ discussing the propriety of being erected into a pastoral charge, and calling a minister. vm. Appendix No. 1. Perce and Kenand Line are in much the name state as they were at this time last year. This i» the case also with Buxton. Leamington and Blytheswood have been reduced to a mission station. This will be a saving to the Augmentation Fund. Wabash has been added to the number of the Presbytery's mission stations. Aiigmentntion Chnnsres have taken place among the augmented congregations, as well as ar nng the misBJon stations of the Prt-sbyteiy. Essex Centre has become self-Hustaining. Caven Ci lurch and North Dawn have been put on the augmented list, but it is hoped that the grant will be gradually dimin- ished. Duart and Highgate are much in the same condition as formerly. PRESBTTERY OF SARNIA. Miii^ions, I. je Presbytery of Sarnia are four mission fields : — 1. Sombra Village and Duthel Churrh ; 2, Marthh ille and Page's Schoolhouse ; 3. Inwood ; 4. The Log Church. Tne last station was opened during tne past year. In course of time it is expected that all these fields will become re^'ular charges. The supply given last winter was an average of eleven Sabbaths. All the fields are occu- pied for the current summer. Augnientation. The number of congregations within the bounds of the Presbytery receiving aid is five. One of these— Guthrie Church, Black Creek and Wilke»port— was erected into a regular charge during the past year. It is a very promising young congregation, and will he self-sustaining in a short time. Owing to the depression in farming matters, the rest of the supplemented congregations occupy abnut the same position as last year, with the exce|ense forests of cedar, fir, spruce and hemlock are found in all the valleys and covering the flanks of mountain ranges. Such resources seem to predict a great future for the country lying between Lake Superior and the Pacific. With wide stretches of agricultural land, great mineral wealth, a'jundance of timber And inexhaustible supplies of coal, it would seem as if the Creator was making provision for a large population. It should be the duty of the Church to lay broad and deep here the foundations of piety, purity and probity in this new land. Settlers are coming in in considerable numbers, and making homes for themselves and their children. Would it not he a pity if these wide plains and mountain fastnesses should become the grave of their early piety ? It is a cause for gratitude that along this whole line of 1,800 miles a continuous chain of missionaries has been planted during the past year, and that there is not a settlement of any size west of Lake Superior where our Church is tinrepreseu'.ed. RESULTS OF THE CENSUS. Since the last report was presented the Dominion Government has published the census of Manitoba taken in 1886. The census is for five years, the people having been enumerated on the 31st of Ju.y, 1886. A few of the figures and percentages showing the increase in population may be of interest. Population of Manitoba in 1886 108,640 Increase per cent, in 5 years, 74. .5 Presbyterians 28,406 ' " " 104.4 Anglicans 2;i,206 ' " " 69.2 Methodists 18,648 " " " !W.7 Roman Catholics 14,651 " " " 2-5.4 Baptists 3,296 " " " hVU Congregationalists 997 " " " 29;i. I The population and percentages, excluding Winnipeg, are — Manitoba 88,402 " " " 62.8 Presbyterians 23,1:{.t " " " lOO.i; Anglicans 17,244 " " " 52 OH Methodistt' 15,431 " •' " 92.(1 Roman Catholics 12,407 " " " lti.4 Baptists 2,449 " " " 91.2 Congregationalists 413 " " " 78.0 These figures show the Presbyterian Church has a lead of ."5,200 of any of the other denomina- tions in the Province, and that its rate of increase has been 30 per cent, in advance of tiie populatinn of the Province, and also decidedly in advance of any ot the I'^rger denominations. In the country districts, where mission work is chiefly carried on, thV advance i.s still more striking. In the North- West Territories two-thirds of the white pr)pulatiou are Presbyterians. These figures show our progress, our responsibilities and our opportunities for advancing the Kingdom of Christ. HINnRANCES. In the prosecution of mission work in this country there are formidable difficulties. The area i^" large and the people scattered. Lan^e tracts of land are reserved in the agricultural belt, leaving «very alternate square mile unoccupied. An ordinary checker b »;ird, with its white and black squares, gives a good idea of the reservations for railway purposes — the white are open fur home- 8tea(iing, the black are reserved. The tenth part of the white sqi,!\r?s belongs to the Hudson Bay Company. The collapse of the boom of 1882 and the unfavourab')« sv^a-ums that followed induced a spirit of restlessness that proved a serious hindrance to permanent work Appendix No. 1. zi. KNCOt'KACKMKNTS. The tifle has now turnetl, however. Vacant lands are being grailually settled. People welcome inissionaries, and services are well attended ; the accessions to the membership of the Church are man}', and congregations are liberal in the support of missionaries and towards erecting church edifices and manses. The crojis of last year did a great deal to restore confidence and to determine people to make the country their future home. Debts incurred during the years of depression have been wiped out or greatly reduced, and contentment is now much more general. The change is felt in increased contributions for the support of ordinance"., greater promptness in the payment of salaries, and more generous ansistance to the Schemes of the Church. The immigration this spring is larger than for several years, and the incomers are taking up land in districts previously settled. Presbyteries and Synods are resolved to overtake the i.piritual wants of the country as far as nien and nKtney are available. The progress of the work in the c ifferent Presbyteries will appear from the following statement : — PRESBYTKKY OF WINNIPEG. Old Mission Fields, Fort William congregation called the Rev. H. W. Fraser, and the charge was removed to the augmented list. The prospects of the congregation are encouraging. A church will be erected and a manse built as soon as it is definitely settled where the town is to be located. Fort Frances. — The outlook of this mission is brightening. Lumbering operations are carried on more extensively along the Rainy River, anJ ihe settlers are finding a market for the grain and hay they raise. Greenwood has been reduced in size by uniting one of its stations to Stonewall. Headingly has been in the same way united to Blythfield. By these changes Stonewall and Blythfield have been strengthened, and the grant to Headingly saved. North Church, Winnipeg, has made considerable progress during ihe year, ^'he pastor, the Rev. D. B. Whimster, has l)een obliged, owing to failing health, to seek a milder ilimate. His departure is much regretted. Milbrook. — The Plympton station of this field is preparing to build a ohurch. The whole field has advanced during the year. Keewatin has takev a decided start since the erection of the large flouring mill. A student is to labour there this summe • to assist Mr. Nairn. Lots have been secured and money is being collected for building a church tl.is summer. Dominion City has improved financially, and wishes to call a pastor. Of Morris, Clearsprings, Whiteinouth and Met-dow Lea there is nothing special to report. Blythfield was transferred to the augmented list. The congregation built a comfortable manse. Mew Congregations and Mission Fields. Augustine Church. —In Fort Rouge a church was built last summer, and a good beginning made in a part of Winnipeg formerly without a church. A congregation, with a communion roll of forty, was organized. Mr. Baird, formerly of Edmonton, is in charge of the congregation. Schreiber lies north of Lake Superior, and the district was occupied for the first time last season. Services are conducted at thirteen different places along the railway. There are fourteen (ir fifteen families, over sixty young men belonging to our church, and twenty-seven communicants. Large gangs of men are employed there during the summer in railway building. The Canadian Pacific Railway Coinpany granted lots for a church and manse at Schreiber, and a church will be built this summer. The mission is self-^^upportitig this year. Silver ^lountain lies south of Murillo about thirty-five miles. The missionary did good service as teacher and missionary. The mine is promising, a permanent work is required. Iftw Fields for this Summer are Clandeboyo, on the Red River north of Selkirk ; Ignace, a railway field bet'veen Murillo and Rat Portage (to save expense this is joined to Murillo this year), and the Icelandic Mission. This deserves a larger reference. ICELANDIC MISSION. There are several thousands of Icelanders in the Province of Manitoba, for whose spiritual wel- fare not much is being done. These people were compelled to leave their own country owing to the eruptions of volcanoes— covering wide areas with deep deposits of ashes and the rest— nd by the increasing severity of snows and cold. The people are intelligent, fairly educated, and learn the English language easily. They are Lutheran in religion. There is no missionary society caring for them, and it is feared that they must suffer spiritually if not looked after. There are 2,000 of tliein at Winnipeg, 900 at Gimli — on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg— and abo- *• .500 within the bounds of the Presbytery of Brandon. At Winnipeg there is a minister of the., o.vn faith, but from several causes a large number of the people do not attend church. It is proposed to employ a mis- sionary to explore and to minister to their spiritual wants, as circumstances may permit. One of themselves, a young man of good ability, of great zeal and Christian earnestness, is studying in Manitoba College. He has already approved himself as a man of the right spirit, and he is to be our first missionary in this work. He speaks English fairly well. Xll. Appendix No. 1. Gains. _ The gains in the Presbytery are two mission fields, advancpd to the status of au^rmented cnnpfre- Kations, the organization ol three new mission fields, and the erection of a church and a inaii«e. Gretna is sn^jpHed from Necht^, on the American side, this season. Fifteen missionaries will be employed tins year ; the same numlser as last season. PRKSBYTKRY OK KOCK LAKK. Old Fields. In this Presbytery are thirteen mission fields, of which three were occupied last season for the first time, viz., llavenswood. La Kiviore, and Waskuda. Another boundary will be occupied this year. Lintrathen called a minister last year, but unexpected obstacles prevented a settlement. Swan Lake has lieen receiving only summer supply, but the congregation has attained such strength that continuous supply is desirable. At the lieaconsHeld station a comfortable frame church has been built in place of the one burnt the previnus autumn. Killarney congregation is taking steps to build a church this summer. Boissevain has increased steadily since the congregation have had a church and continuous supply. Cartwright has made little progress. Darlingford loses the services of the llev. H. J. Borthwick this year. He laboured for many years in Southern Manitoba, and did a great deal of education and religion in early times. His parish was wide and his labours abundant. He is retiring from the work of the ministry. Deloraine.— At the present terminus of the Pembina Mountain branch of the (Janadian Pacific Railway, the new town of Deloraine is built. It is the centre of the group of stations cunstitutiiiff the field, and promises to be an active centre. A church is needed, and will likely soon be iiuilt. Antlers has suffered much through want of a railway. There is no fint-r farming district in the country, but markets are so distant that settlers are able to make little progres.*". It is e-xjiected that the Pembina Mountain branch of the railway will be built this year, at least as far as the Souris River. Riverside has developed a good deal, and wishes to secure a pastor of its own. New Mission Fields. La Riviere was formed by detaching the eastern and southern portion from the Rock Lake congregation. A church was built at the Central station, and the field has a hopeful futvp. There are in the group forty families and thirty-six communicants. Waskada lies between Deloraine and the Souris River. There are said to be thirty-seven families and forty-eight communicants in the field. Ravenswood lies north and north-west of the Lintrathen field. From the Lintrathen group, two stations, remote from the centre, were detached, and with them two new stations ji lining, mak- ing a compact and promising field. Fifty-six families and thirty one communicants are r<^porte(l. The gains of the Presbytery for the year are three mission fields, and the erection of two com- fortable frame churches. The 13oundary field lies south of Pilot Mound. There were twelve mis- sionaries employed last summer, and thirteen this summer, with the probability of another in a new field requiring occupation. PRE8BYTKBY OF BRANDON. From this Presbytery twenty-three mission fields proper, and the congregation of Knox Church, Brandon, was reported. Knox Church and the First Presbyterian Church have been united. Four of the mission fields called pastors, and were removed to the augmented list. Of the majority of the fields formerly occupied there is little to report beside a pratifyinR advance and a more hopeful outlook. The incre-.se to the membership in this Presbytery averaged about ten to each congregaticm. At Elton, Shanks, Tieherne, Tuinmel, Minniska and Ca^tleavrry, churches were built, and prep.-irations are in progress to build this summer at Elkhorn, Newdale, Rosedale, and some other stations. Arden, the new mission field, promises to be strong. There ar*: .lOout one hundred families and eighty-five communicants connected with it, and more settlers are going in. Minniska, forty- five families ; Lakeside, thirty families ; Hayfield, thirty-five families, and Lake Dauphin, seven- teen families, are to be taken up this year. The gains in the Presliytery were four mission fields, advanced to the status of augmented congregations, and the organization of a new misKion field, the erection of six churches, and a manse each by two of the congregations placed (m the R.ijimented list. Twenty three missionaries were employed last year, and the number this season will be the same, the new fields taking the place of those removed to the augmented list, PRESBYTERY OF HKGINA. In this Presbytery are twenty-five mission fields. The dry season of 1886 and distance from railways operated seriously against growth. The season of 1^87 was much more favourable than the preceding, but the crop was not nearly so good as in Manitoba. Seven of the fields had no sup- ply during the winter, and three more only partial 8Ui)ply. The outlook this season is more cheering. Should the Pembina Mount Branch be extended the congregations of Alameda, VVinlaw and Carlyle would he great gainers. The extension of the Manitoba and North- West Railway will greatly benefit the Yorkton and Crescent Lake missions, The land around Indian Head is being disposed of to people who are going to become residents, One of the experimental farms of the Dominion Government is to be located within a mile of our church. Appendix No. 1. t * • Xlll. id continuous De thirty-seven Mnoaimin, Indian Head and Qu'Appelie wi»h pastors of their own. Mooaejaiv congrPKution is prnceudin; to renovate and extend the church at a cost of about $jUO. In the dcstt dh settlement nurth-eitH. of Hegina a church is to be built this Huniuier. In t\ is Presbytery thpre are no gains to report. Should this season prove favoun ble for farm- ing inter jsts a change would speedily follow. Tlie.'e will be twenty-tive uiissiunaries in the field this summer. PKKSBYTKRY OK CALOARY. Tnis Presby'c«ry was erected by the liwt Cireneral Assembly. Its territory lies between the 109th iiaraNel of longitude and a line passing north and south at the western cross! i of the Columbia Kiver by the (Jani"l;rtn Pacific Ralway. The Presbytery was organiEed by tb election of the Kev. An^jns Hobertjou \8 Moderator, and the itev. J. C. Herdin-tn as Clerk. W ith great energy the Presbytery h'^s tak i holt! of the mis^iim work within its bounds. There was one self-sustaining conuregivtion— Calgary— connected with the Presbytery, one augmented congr gation— Edmonton— and six mission fields. Four new mission fields were occupied duriug the summer of 1887, thus giving twefve congregations and mission fields, j [Old Fields.] "^^ Medicine Hat and Lethbridge have advanced in numbers and financial resources. A cointurc- able manse was erected at the latter place. Hi^h River is not advancing. The missionary is rendering faithful service, but there were no accessions to the populaticm. An improvement is looked for this year. Fort McLeod was without supply during the winter at the request of the people of the McLeod station. A missxmary is to be sent this season. Points on the Canadian Pacific Railway.— Services were maintained during the summer and autumn at all points on the Canadian Pacific Railway between Gleichen and Anthracite. The ranches, lumbering and mining camps were visited and services were well attended. Foit Saskatchewan received only partial supply last summer. A catechist is to be sent this spring to remain for sixteen months at least. At Clover Bar and Fort Saskatchewan churches were built. New Mission Fields, Donald is in the valley of the Columbia River and is the western terminus of the western division of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The missionary does a very large amount of hard work, supplying all the railway stations and camps between the top of the Rockies and the top of the Selkirks. About 1,000 men are scattered along the radway between these points. Donald has .secured as a town an unenviable reputation. No place in our country needs mission work more. There are found a number of earnest Christian people in the place. A neat frame church was built last season. Kevelstoke is the headquarters of a district on the western slope of the Selkirks. Mining and lum'jeriup are carried on extensively and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company employ a number of men. The population is of course fiuetuating. Banfl and Anthracite are on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Banff is a health resort, and the principal part of the populati(m are visitors and tourists. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company are moving their workshops up from Canmore, and it is likley the place will increase in importance. The Railway Comp; From the imperfect returns received tlie contributions from these five Presbyteries exceed ^100,000 for all purposes, which would give about $13 per communicant for all purposes. The average fur the whole Church i)er communicant was $11.23. Sabliath School worlc received earnest attention, and organizations were effected wherever prac- ticable. In country districts many of the schools are what are termed Union Schools. The paucity of children of school age leads jjcople t<» unite. Such schools rarely report to Presbyteries. It iV computed that at least 7,U0O children of our Church attend Sabbath schools. Country schools are generally closed during the winter. Arrangements were made by Presbyteries for dispensing the Lord's supper in all mission fields j and baptisms were attended to b;/ e.\changes with ordained missionaries. Missionary meetings were generally held last autumn, and much information about the mission work of the Church given. The re-^ponse to appeals for the Schemes were never so liberal. Missionaries in several districts co-operated for conducting Evangelistic services. These were well attended, spiritual life was quickened and many indifferent persons v led ' <> repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. There is a felt need of such services, but the si. of ' sion fields and the arduous weekly work combined with the difficulty of getting help is a s«;ru is . Irance in conduct- ing such services. Acknowledgment must be made of the valuable assistance given in vo. . i-y Queen's, Knox and Manitoba College Missionary Societies. These societies have thi" i\vt ionaries in the field thi» year as usual. The Church and Manse Board cimtinues to help in the erection ' Oiurches and Manses. Thirteen congregations were aided by the Board, and .several other at>plicat,iOns have been approved, and grants and loans voted. By legislation sought and obtained tb "^ nstituency of the Board is to be made co-extensive with the Synod of Manitoba and the North-^ "^ .. /-itories. North-western Ontario and B^Hish Columbia will then share in the benefits of the tu-.d. The '^'l.urch has reason to be thankful for the service rendered by her ministers and missionaries in this field. The work is arduous, and privations in many a di.strict of a serious nature. The mis- sionaries are, generally speaking, men of high character, of zeal and earnestness. They are busy laying the foundations of social and religious life for generations to come. The success of our work under God is due to them, aud it is to be earnestly hoped that young men of their spirit may come to their assistance. The work is widening and it must be overtaken. AUGMENT ATION REPORT. Synod of Manitoba and thk North-Wkst Teuritoriks. frk8bytkry ok wtnnipkg. There are six augmented congregations connected with the Presbytery of Winnipeg, Blythfield and Fort William having been added during the year to those already (m the list. The Blythfield cont,'ro),'ation has been strengthened by uniting Headingly with it. The grant to Headingly is thus saved, and a smaller grant is reriuired for Blythfield. Fort William promises $800 and a manse towards supporting the pastor. The manse will be erected this summer. The congregation is not likely to require any aid beyond the current year. By attaching Brant and Argyle to Stonewall the ciinnreg.^tion is strengthened, and the grant is considerably reduced. Diminished grants are asked for Little Britain and Emerson. Last year, 4 congregations, with 11 stations, 164 families and 247 communicants, were reported ; the numbers this year are 6 ccmgregations, 18 stations, 261 families and 3'JO communicants. The average supplement per congregation received last year was $241.25 as against .$169. 16 asked this year. The average per family promised for stipend is §17.93, and per communicant -$72. For the Schemes of the Church there was contributed over .$350. A comfortable manae was built at Blythfield during the year. PRKSBYTKRY OF KOCK LAKE. Four congregations were reported from this Presbytery last year, but the congregation of Rock Lake has since 'oecome self-sustaining. From the south-eastern portion of this congregation a section was detached and organized into the mission field of La Riviere, having 4 stations, 40 families, and 33 oomiiiunicants. The central station of the new group — La Riviere— has erected a comfortable chui'ch. Pilot Mound, the leading station of the Rock Lake congregation, is building a church this summer. Steps have been taken to organize another mission field in the southern part of the Rock Lake congregation, and a Student will be employed there during the summer. The congregation of Manitou has made a very decided financial advance during the year, asking only $75 of the ,$175 promised by the Committee for the half year ending 31st March, and making application for $100 only this year as against $350 last year. The fires in the autumn of 1886 inflictod great loss on meaibers of the Marringhurst congregation, and consequently the congregation has made no financial advance. Removals have also diminished the strength of the congregation. There are thus 3 con- XVI.

Tha last General Assombly divided this Presljytery, and left only two augmented congregationH connected with it, viz.. Prince Albert and Hd.,'ina. 0»vi i,' to ctuses piculiar with the placa, there is no diminution in the giant ti> U^gina this year, but after the closing of the current year, tlie congregation is not likely to require any aid. TIfie pastor d >hs a l.irgn amount of mission work in the neighbourhood of llegina without any charge to tSe Church. The grant to Prince Albert is reduced from $IJOO to .$100, but the difference is not made j;i by the dmgregation. Connected with these two congregations are 87 families and 18!) communicatits. The contributions per family are $21.83, and per communicant $10.05. The average grant last year was $400 per ci>ngregation, and $iOfl this year. The Schemes received $177. L)r. Jardine was absent in Ontario during the winter, raising funds for the erection of the school building at Prince Albert, as authorized by the AsHonihly. He returned, an families and 1,428 commiirdcants. They promise $10,435 for salary, or -$16..33 per family, and $11.50 per conmmnicant. They receive $4,915 in all from the Augmentation Fund, or an average of $223.40 per congregatiim. The number on the list, at the beginning of last year, was eighteen congregatiims, and the average grant was $27.5.27. There is consecitiently a reduction of over eighteen per cent in grants. The salary in Manitoba being twenty per cent higher than in Ontario, and in the North-west sixty per cent higher, the grants asked from the Aug- mentation Fund will be seen to be moderate, being on an average absolutely lower than the average grants made last year to the augmented congregations in the Presbyteries of Quebec, Montreal, Glengarry, Kinrston, Barrie and Loudon. Three con^jrogations h.kve become self-sustainin/ during t'le year, and with the return of prosperity, it is connJently expected that the number will rapidly increase. Two churches and three manses, all frame, were erected. For Schemes was contributed over $1,700. Although no unusual religious interest was shown at any point during the past year, very satis- factory [irogrecs was made. In the Presbytery of Brandim the accessions to the communion roll, on professiim of faith, averaged nearly ten for each congregatiim. There is an increasing interest in the missionary work of the I'hurch, and the contributions this year show a decided advance. Every effoit is put forth to orgaidze Sabbath Schools wherever practicable, and the home training of chil- dren is encouraged at all points. It would serve no gond purpose to discuss the work of individual ministers, but yet testimony ought to be borne to the general fidelity of those engaged as pastors, and their grent moral influence in the community. The I'hurch has renson to be thankful to (Jod for the high character of minis- ters raised up to be pastors of the augmented congregations in this Synod.

BBITIHM COM'MBrA. PKKMBYTKKV <»K t'OLUMBI.\. There are now four self-«upi)orting churtjes within the boimds of this Presbytery, viz. : St. .Vndrews, New Westminster ; First Church, Victoria; First Clnu'ch, Vancouver; and St. Andrews, Victoria, which was received last September, and i* now under the pastoral care of llev. P. M. Mcl/'od. Misniom. Nicola has been removed from the list of mission fields, being at present under the charge of Kev. (i. Murra.v, a minister of the Church of Scotland. It has been deemed advisable to withdraw the niissiimary labouring at Spence's Bridge, etc. The Cf>mox field was received last ye»r from the Church of Scotland, and is now s\ipplied by Rev. Alex. Fraser, late of Orono, Ontario. New s'rnnnd is being taken up on the Fraser River t" be known as the Mount F.ehman Group. To this Held Mr. H. R. Fraser has been appointed b' he Home Mission Committee. The city of Van- couver is growing 80 rapidl.y that a second congregation is beci.ming a necessity. The Uev. R. Y. Thomson has been uppomted to assist the Rov. T. (>. Thomson for the sunmier season. Substantial new churches have been built during '■^^ past .year at Kamloops, Chilliwhack and Port Haney. The amount contributed to the various fields last year is $:i,586 compared with $.),U2() the year previous. On the whole we believe substanti il progress has been made. There are no augmented congregations in this Presbytery. The new appointments to British Columbia are these:— Rev. .T. Cormack, Kev. Alex. Fraser, Rev. R. H. Fraser. It is also worthy of mention, as indicating the exceedingly hopeful condition rtf our work, that during the year a new church has been erected at Kamloops, and a church and manse at Chilliwhack. The Colonial Committee of the Church of Scotland have .agreed to continue their grant of t'')0 to Comox, in the meantime, thus showing their interest in our work in the Province.

The ordinary meetings are held semi-monthly, at which reports are read, ami the r;jnpral business of the Society is conducted. There is also provision made for informing the memliers who attend these meetings in rei^ard to general mission work. There were two iniblic meetings held during the session, both of which were well attended, and very encouraging. The first was held December !)th.

Owing to the good crop and the liberality of the people, it was self-sustaining. 1"he Rock Lake Presbytery has sent in a missionary for the winter.

This district has been settled tht-ee or four years, but very little mi.ssion work was done by our Church before last summer. The Methodists occupy a portion of the field, and services have been conducted by the Rev. Leo Ciaetz, assisted by liis brother, Mr. .J. Oaetz. Four stations were taken up, two of which were supplied weekly services, and the other tw" occasionally. Sabbath school work was carried on at two of the stations. Sabbath school literattire and books sent by the Society were found very acceptable.

This field, formerly known as McConkey, takes its name from the post otiice at the convertieiut? of four townships, parts of which compose the field, in the northern part of Parry Sound Di.strict. The settlement is in the midst of a lumbering district, and compares very favourably in extent and fertidty with any in that northern country. Owing to difficulty of access, settlers are comiiij,' in very slowly, but this year will see a good road completed which will open up communication with the railroad at Tnmt Creek, over thirty miles distant. Seven years ago the first settler entered, and in 1881 the first missionary. The entire populatiun numbers about 100. Since no other Church has sent in a missionary, all Jenominations adhere, an! the ma.iority have united with us. llev. li. J. M.

The people in all parts of the field take an active interest in the work, ami the cause is steadily growing. Bible classes, which proved profitable and interesting, were concluded ;it Coboconk and Head Lake. The Sabbath school at Coboconk is well superintended during the whole year, and the work 'if instrncting the young is favourably progressing.

There arn •two principal 8tatioi\s— Sebright and Uphill— and in additiim service was held fortnightly at .Saiinwa Sabbath schools were held at all the stations, and at Sebright the work is continued throuj^hdut the winter. The elilers keep up the prayer meeting also, which is well attended. 1 The sacraments of baptism anil the Lord's supper were dispensed at Sebright and Fphi 1 by llev. Mr. Scott, of Cambray. Eleven new members were received. The service i !vt all the stations were well attended, and at Sebright the church, which was erectfii the previous summer, was complett'd inside and formally opened for worship. A good shed has lieen erected and almost completed. The ministers of Linilsay Presbytery supply Sebright iinl^ LliliiH with service during the winter every two weeks. On the first Sabbath of Feliruary Rev. \V. (i. .Mill'. of Sunderland, dispensed the sacraments, when four new members were added to the Church. Number the kindrifens of this latter company we are indebted for a neat 'ittle church, as well as for the i)ay- uieiit of the missionary's board, etc. L"ss than half this population is Protestant, the majority tieiiij; French Roman Catholics. The )>i)pulation was con>iderably increased by a number of tourists, ;in(i the place bids fair to become a favourite summer resort. Bible class and Sabbath school is held every Lord's day at 11 a.m., and divine service at 7 p.m. ;. prayer meetini; every Wednesdaj' evening. These services are continued throughout the winter by the people themselves. All the services are fairly attended. While there are many indifferent as tn the work, there are a number of earnest Christian workers who are doing good service ar.iid many ilisccmragementa, and whose help was invaluable to the missionary.

Succes.sf\d Sabbath schools were conducted at all the stations ; prayer meetings at three, and Bible classes at two of them. Six elders were elected and ordained in the Held during the summer. At Ijuysvilie and Handlton comfortable chuiches have been erected— and one is in cnurse of erec- tion at Gordon's. From the increasing interest in spiritual things disjjlayed here from time to time^ We have reason to believe that before long this field will be 8elf-s\istaining.

Dr. Armstrong, Convener to the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, at Ottiwa, April l!(th, IHSH : During the past year there have been ilistrilnited among tlie lumbermen in the shanties over ".'0,000 tracts, GO half-yearly vohnnes, and ."iOO monthly parts of the Lnxnn- //kijc and Sninldii v)il Artisan, large quantities of The Jiritiult Wiir/,m(in, anil corresponding FroiU'h illustratoil jiaper.-, besides about >?J00 worth of books. Scripture cards ami pictures, the gift of the Religious Tract Society. This literature has been taken to the shanties by our missionaries, by the colporteurs of the Ottawa Auxiliary IMble Society, and in otlier ways. The Rev. 1). Tj. McKechnie, of Ma^tawa, gave over two months to this work. In his report he says : — " I travelled 1,()1.{ miles .••'sited ;{K shanties, !) lunitiering depots, and 14 stopping places, and met about If^SO men, of whom Sf. e English, and 1,()I{0 French, and delivered *iO addresses or expositions of Scrijjture." Mr. McKechnie speaks of the neces.-ity of providi •a' desomo literature to sui)|)lant the trashy novels that men carry with them to the woods, and s ,. --"Iain satisfiixl that nowhere are books and papers more thoroughly read than by these men in the shanties," Hi XXIV, Appendix No. 1. The Kev. Joseph (Jandier, Coulonge, reports that he distributed literature to 27 shanties, li 'lep6ts, 14 stopping places, 24 fuinilies, and held in all ♦>;'. services. He says:— "I have enjoyed tlie work more than usual, and have much reason to thank God for many evidences of succeNs." The Kev. K. Gavin, Secretary of the Bible Society, says :— " It h the uniform testimony nf all our colporteurs that the tracts, and very specially the illustrated i/r-riodieals. such as the Brilh.h Workman are everywhere highly apiireciated by the shanty men, and very gratefully received, and that they facilitated very greatly the selling of the Scriptures." One writes: — "I have met with some Christians in nearly all the shanties; but there were others very careless. However, all listened very attentively when I read or spoke to them, as 1 did wherever I went ; and I noticed particularly how very much they all seemed to enjoy the religious literature wliich I distributed." The Committee would tender their sincere thanks to the Keligious Tract Society, of London, not only for their liberal reducticm on the literature purchased Irom thom, but nlco for a large dona- tion of books, tracts, Scripture cards, etc., also to the Board of French Kvangeli/.ation for a supply of French literature, and to J. Durie & Son, of Ottawa, for French literature. We close this year with a good working balance on the right side. Ccmtribntors will hear iu mind that this balance is necessary for the ordering of the literature in the early autumn.

It is not surprising that Preabyteriew, which have within their bounds a considerable number of weak char^'es, respond most readily to the clairrAS of this Scheme. Your Committee cherish the liupe that the time will come when the cimtribution.*! from the strong charges in nome of our western Presbyteries, which have hitherto di^ne little for this object, will show that a deeper interest^ is taken in the welfare of brethren in the needier districts. Had three or four of the Presbyteries leferreil to assumed anytljing like tlieir fair share of the burden, there would have been no deficit this year. At th" suggestion of your Sub-Committee it was resolved by the Home Mission Committee at its meeting in Ma»,^h last to report the following regulation to the Greneral AssemVjly for its approval ;- " The Home Mission Committee may assign to each Presbytery in the Western Section of the Church K fair propor ion of the whole ainoimt annually required for Angmentati^tratford Huron -Maitland Bruce Winnipeg , luick Lake 'irandon Ke^ina ' 'altrnry 1 2 « ;< 7 7 1 6 1 1 11 1 10 , 5 « 1 ^ 1 1 I 6 1 1 2 1 1 2t 14 7 It 7 1 3 14 2 i 10 I 9 : 6 i •i I 2 # 1 ; 1 1 1 1 2 1 I 12 i 5 I 1 I 1 3 10 11 5 7 8 A 5 2 3 6 10 4 1 6 1 4 3 5 1 2 5 :i « 8 10 2 1 «7r. , 175 I 125 ; I 275 I I 200 I i '.50 I I 240 I I 350 i i .... 1 I «25 I ' ioo i lOO 200 '>'J5 1.50 "so 325 466 200 ,$895 1.500 795 925 1995 1400 580 976 655 150 2545 800 13(W 290 100 6.50 1825 475 12H7 825 1300 280 380 940 435 «75 2.50 635 2.50 200 13 17 27 I 176 136 »4095 1*255.53 i * In Addition to the congregations transferred to the Home MisHion lAnt, one congngation in Hamilton Presbytery and one in Maitland have ceased existence.

I'lUNCK ALIIKHT, N.-W. T. An informal conference on Mission and Kducationul Affairs in Prince Albert, N.-W. T., was held in March between the ('omniittee and a deputation of the Foreit'n Mission Committee, consi^t■ im; of itev. Dr. McLaren, Hev. (Jeor^'e Purson and Mr. Hamilton Cassels. WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONAPY S,)CIKT1ES. The Committee are ;,'lad to report, that in a considerable number of congregations, WonmiiV Home Missionary Societies are being formed to aid in suj)porting laliourers in tin- North- W'-t. Valuable boxes of clothing have also been pre])ared and forwarded during the past winter, uiiil reguliir correspcmdence kept up between these .Societies atid the families of our AHssionaries. Sevtial Siibbiith Schools are also supjiorting Students in the North-West during the summer months. In closing this Report, the Commitee would earnestly urge upon the Ministers and Office-bearers of our Church the necessity of keeping ccmstantly before their several congregations the clainiioit demands of Home Missions and Augmentation. That the increase of our denomination, as well as the prosperity of all the other Schemes, dei)ends to a. great extent upon the liberality extended tn Home Missions is acknowledged on all liands. For the present year, lH8.S-!>, it is calcul.ated that the sum of 820,(100 may meet the demands for Augmentation, but for Home Missions, in view of the constantly widening field in the North-West, and the new ground taken up in British Columbia, there wili be required nearly .S.5.'J,000. The entire expenses connected with our work in Britisli Columbia, in sustaining Mission Stations and sending out Missionaries, falls ui)on the Home Missinn Fund. It only needs however that the claims of Missions and .\ugmentation be candidly and fully stated to the membership of the Church to secure the means to enable the ("omniittee to hi>ld tin' ground already occujiied, and advance to newer outposts.

REPORT OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE, 1887-^8. (EASTERN SECTION.) In the Komo MUsion work of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, twonty-one preachers wt'if uinployud,— some of them the whole, tlio roin.vinder 11 purt of the pnHt year. l)f thuMt!, ei^'ht have heeii aettled as pastors over congrcgutione, two placed us stated missionaries in the I'lLshytery of St. John, five have withdrawn from the houixla of the Synod, and tlio remaining six are on our roll of probationers still, and are iceiving monthly appointments to Presby- tti ii's by tlie Committee. The labor of tliese bretnrLii lias been principally performed in vacant coii;^regations, many of which are truly missionary charges, in the sense that they are widely scattered, weak in numbers and resources, an'>0, $180 and Sl.'M). Hopeful reports are presentt-il liy the brethren in idl tht-Hc pitieei, and the people arc appreciative of the regular supply of gosjirl ordinances thim atlorded them. The unsupplied fields— which, however, the Preshytery will fill up as will appear from appendix— ar(! tile f(dlowiii>{ :— I'isarinco, Spriii;.'field and Scotch Settlement, Mechaiiim Stiili ment and Shediac. The two former of these had ordained missionaries durinj; the HUiiinii;r, but were vacant in the winter. They received at the rate of $180 each from the Fuutl. Prfslti/tiry of J*. E, /^/a«'/ — IJrookfiuld, Rev. A. A. McKenzie. This is a smnll c»in<^r<> gation that may eventually be strengthened by union with outlying stations. The pt'ii|.Ii' agreed to raiso 4'>0(), and the rre8l)ytery obtained from the Committee tiie pronuse r)f Jt-jcni f.ir one year. Mr. .McKeiizie commenced his work there in October, anil reports good attention on the part of the people. Prenhytcry of Lunenhttrg and Shflfmrne. — Riversdale. The Rev. Henry Crawford, uIkp had been in charge &ome five or six years, continuetl till the cmi of tlie year IS87, tiie work still prospering in his hands. His yearly allowance from the Fuud was J27i). Dining the winter thib field has lieen vacant. New Diihlin — The Presbytery having a year ago obtained a promise of f.tOO from th Committee for this field, if they could succeed in getting » man, in January truniferred .Mr. Crawford frr»m Riversdale to this post. Fie is in charge of some 40 or 50 families wlio contribute $400 to Ids support. It may here be stated that the salary of the ordained missionary is $700 a year and tlukt the maximum grant to any one field given by the Committee is $.300, so that the pi ople Imvi' to raise at least $4(;0 ty liirt'i'tion i.f the (ii-ncral .\KKi'mliiy, #7 p«r week to our catecliista innteail, of $41 and flO to our prjaciiers inotend of $8 IIS fornM-rly. This meann an inoreaBed cxpcndittire of nearly $*_'000 for the condng year. '.\ lid*' in tluH money to eonie from? It is neoeswry for us t«> face this <|uestion now. NVe iirur I'lcHltyterieH to take special tneaHur"s to secnre an advance from sM their uiiHsion tields .iiiil viuant charges, and we trust that none will he found wanting in tins matter. Hut with till- liertt etFort in that direction, we must also olitain more money for the Fund from the great liu.ly of contrilaiting congregations. Kvery minister must frel himself l)o\ind to im ukate un iih M'UKd on the part of his people, and every session must devise measures hy whiclithe hu I't'aMc can without fail Im: procure)!. Systematic plans should l>e devised and set in opera- tiiiii at once hy every session. We are more and more convinced that this is all that ia iicii'HHary to secure ahundant moans for our Home Mission work. Our people are in hearty sympathy w ith our eiforts to ext<-nd and consolidate our church at liom»>. Let them know wliiit \vc arc doing and what we are ainnng at - give them fully to umlcrstand the recrality hy opening up regular channels fur their gifts, and asking them to make use of these for the replenishment of the Lord's tiriisury for tlic advancement of His kingdom in our own lands. W'c desire to reco^ 'ze here the thoughtfulness of our people in some of our congregations of our sons and daughtiis in the North- West. It was with great pleasure that we f()rwarded to tiic treasurer of the Western Committee $79.40, to help in some degree the great work tlMTc. (Jf course the sum is very small— scarcely a drop in the great hucket «if Western expenditure for the purpose — but it is the expression of sympathy, the recogniti()n of ohligatinn to our children who have gone out from us, and the acknowledgment of oneness with the jireat widespread, hut in spirit thoroughly cemented I'reshyterianism of our l>ominion. We wiiiild like to enc(uira;;e our people to aiii the nohle ctforts of our hrethron in the West to overtake the rapidly increasing and spreading immigration into the Provinces and territories of the North- West, and liljerally supply them with the bread of life.

APPENDIX NO. 3. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SUPPLEMENTS. (EASTERN SECTION.) The Committee on Supplements held two meetings during the year. At their first meeting in October they dealt with the deferred applications, concerning wliich they had asked the leave of the Assembly, and made the following grants : Presbytery of St. John : — Shemogue and Port Elgin 8200 00 Riverside (not settled) 250 00 Presbytery of Wallace : — Earltown and West Branch River John SSOCOO At tlie second meeting, near the end of April, they agreed to act in line with the Western Section of the Church, in the matter of the terms of qualification for participation in tlie benefits of the Fund, to the effect that " when the number of communicants is more than double the number of families, the Committee shall have discretionary power to make a grant, even though the minimum contribution per communicant be not reached." At present, this modification of the rule aifects only six of our congregations, of which two have all along been special cases, leaving only one to be dealt with hereafter as a special case. At the meeting of Synod in October, the Committee made as usual a full statement of the condition and needs of the Fund. That court cordially endorsed the proposal to raise $8100 fortheyear ending 31st March, and allocated this amount among the several Presbyteries, with uistructions to congregations to endeavor to complete their collections at latest before the end of Apiil. The following summary shows at a glance the extent to which Presbyteries have carried out the recommendations of Synod and realized the wishes of your Committee.

Total receipts, §8016.08. This table shows that out of 178 congregations or mission stations within the bounds of the Synod, to which allocations were made, only ten failed to make any collection, and that of tlie 168 that did contribute, 137 reached the full amount asked of them by their respective i'lviliyteries. Your Committee, therefore, while they regret that any should have neglected to help this most important scheme, have much reason for thaukf uluesa that the response haa u Appendix No. 3. been so general and hearty. More congregations liave contributed the full amount for wliidi they were asked— than ever before. The number that failed to contril)ute in smaller tliun jn any previous year, and never before has your Coinmittee so nearly realized tlie full amount .i^li.-.l for, so that they think that it may be fairly inferred that the scheme is on a surer footing tluiii at any previous time. Its position tinanuially, may be presented thus : Balance on hand May 1st, 1 887 $512152 Receipts for year ended May Itt, 1888 8016 08 iS!l3137 CO Payments for Augmentation of stipend $7381 09 I'roportion Agent's salary 2r»0 00 Expenses 100 61 7737 70 Balance on hand May let, 1888 $ 5399 90 Our balance was slightly increased during the year and the Committee hope to l)e able to do with $8000 during tlie coming year, so that the outlook for the future is by no imimiis discouraging. Presbyteries, however, must not relax their eflPorts to secure a collection from every congregation and mission station within their Iwunds,— rand such collections as will aggregate the amounts allotted by Synod to the Presbyteries. The scheme has been mo successful, lind has accomplished so much good in the past, that the enthusiasm with which it was launched should not be allowed to diminish. It is not probable that a reduction litjow $8000 can be made in the sum asked for by the Committee for a long time, for as congregations fostered by this scheme become self-sustaining and cease to draw from it, others will lio developing from mission stations into the dignity of pastoral charges requiring aid from the Fund, It is therefore of the last importance that Presbyteries should most carefully visit all congrega- tions below the minimum, wnether aid receiving or not, and endeavour to develop to as great an extent as possible, their powers of self-support. It is in this way alone, your Committee are convinced, that our ministers can all enjoy the Itlessing of the minimum salary, and a fitu house. If too much is left to be accomplished by the Fund, it will be strained beyond its powcia of endurance and reversion to the old type of most inadequate stipends, and these delayed in tlieir [)ayments, will be the inevitable result. Not only must the Fund be supported by every part oyally contributing its quota, but side by side with that, all congregations below tlie inira- mum must be stimulated to put forth their best exertions to help themselves so that they shall have a better title to help from the Fund, than the mere fact that they qualify under the existing rules can give them, Your Committee in making grants have endeavored to inipriss upon Presbyteries the necessity of securing the full minimum for the ministers not alone liy asking large grants from the Fund, but also and especially by educing the powers of self-support that congregations possess. So important does this appear to the Committee that they appointed a small sub-Committee to consider the case of congregations that have been receiving large grants for several years, and suggest some scheme for a gradual reduction of the same. It \6 to be hoped that with the co-operation of Presbyteries, the Committee will be able to acconi' plish something year by year in this line. We append in tabular form a list of congregations seeking supplement for the current year, Fifty-seven applications have been made ; to 37 of these, grants aggregating ?6G'2(i, for which the sanction of the Assembly is sought, have been allowed by the Cominittie. With regard to the remaining twenty, the Committee refused one on account of arrears, and respectfully ask the leave of Assembly to deal with the rest next October, provided sufficient information shall then have been furnished to guide the Committee to a decision.

I— .NEW HEBRIDES MISSION, The New Hebrides raissitHi staff was strengthened last year by the aocession of three new men, Messrs, Morton, Leggatt and Landells, whoitave Injcn settled at points ou Malekula ^md Malo, all of which, as well as Mr. Annand's present field, are new stations. Mr. Annaud, after lits return to the Islands, attended the Mission Synod held at Ambrim, "May 20th, 1887. It was there agreed that he and Mr. Landells should be accompanied by Messrs. llobtrtson, Eraser and McKenzie, to counsel them in the selection of fields of labor and aid tiiem in their settlement. On their voyage of investigation, an accident occurred which resulted in serious CQnse((Ueuces to their household and Mission goods— though providentially in no loss of life. The Cuirndhu, a vt'ssel chartered in Australia to carry the surplus of goods ^vliicii the Day^pring had to leave, was conveying the missionaries and their goods to their homes now to l)e chosen, when on the shores of the Island of Malo, where Mr. Landells was to lie settled, she was wrecked. All the passengers were saved without serious harm, but much cif the goods were soaked with sea water and greatly injured, if not destroyed. The Com- mittee agreed to send Mr. Annand, to recoup him in some measure for bis loss, $1.'0 wliich Mrs. Macrae of Gait, Out., had contributed to the Santo Fund, and m liicb. failing tlie appointment of a missionary, she desired might be appi'oi)riated for Mr. Aimaml's uses as he might see fit. We are pleased also to note that the W. F. M. Society forwarded $150 for the same purpose. The missionary has said almost nothing of his loss, but from other sources we know that it wjis considerable. The loss of the vessel falls on the owners and underwriters. The Island of Tangoa, south of Santo, and aliout an eighth of a mile distant from it, was selected by the b»€thren as a suitable station for Mr. ami Mrs. Annaud. They found the natives friemlly and docile. Hv.k iihey erected the Mission dwellings. From this point Santo proper can l)e reached by a few minutes rowing, so that our missionaries can readily work iiniong tlie tribes — about a e a healtliy one, and we believe the church has great cause to bless Go 6 a X 1 Income.

Fifteen parables — those found in Matthew and Alark were carefully stmlit'il and awalvenei? a very unusual interest in the larger children and adults. Our old Testam'ut studies were in Genesis and Exodus. In addition to their general knowledge of tlie Bible ,. . feel that those who may be classed as the senior children, have now a particular knowledge of Genesis and Exodus, and the Gospels bv Matthew and Mark. Caiechi^t's Work. — Joseph Annajee was employed throughout the year, giving the greater part of his time to the St. Joseph District, while Ajodhya assisted in Tacarigua and heyiml the Caropi River, With two Public Hospitals, four large and several smaller Estate Hospitals and a large numher of estates and villages to be visited, such agents are indispensable. I liiive endeavoured personally, or through these agents, to make known the salvation of God more or less frequently in every part of my field. Appendix No. 4. IX Total. d. £ s. ,1.

I baptised If) adnltfc and 24 ciiildrcn, tut il 43. In N'oveniljer, IHS(5, I baptised 19, one of whom died. To these we nmy add two iiitt|. preters, and two teachei-s and tlieir wives, that is eii/ht from Trlniflad— in all fill souls, of wImmi 13 UP' coinmunicant? in j^ood standing. Another Indian teacher should, if possible, be scut to relievo .Sadaphal, that tn^ may give his whole time to work among the adults. He and .\llaliilii,% seem to liave adopted St. Lucia as their home and field of labour. Other two like niiinlcl ft'^'cnts aror on the loll was 2.52 ; 147 boys and 108 girls. The attendance was made up of childieii iiMilfr working age, and of those who are usually employed on the estate, but who attend school whon not working. Tlie attendance of the latter was necessarily irregulai^ The attendance of the smaller children was more regular than the previous year. During the first seven months, Abraham Lincoln did the work of teacher and catcrliist. In October an additional teacher and two monitors were employed, and tlie catcclii-'t now assists in bringing out the children andgives religious instruction one hour per day. The il;iily average since the new teacher was engaged has been 102. A treat was given to the children on Christmas eve. Several ladies kindly assistLil in making IGO garments, which were distributed among the must deserving. The whole grant of ,S2.T per month was paid to Abraham Lincoln until O tMliif. Since the 11th of October, A. \V. Estwick, teacher, has received at the rate of 8-' i" i montli, aiwl the remaining five dollars have been paid to the monitors and catechist. The (.uteiliist will henceforth depend entirely on the Society. There has been tlu; greatest difficulty in meeting former demands; the support of the catechist \.ill be an additional exnense for which no additional means are available. Our thanks are due to the Canadian church for a donation of $60, sent to assist in this object.

Tuschen |iai; ^■A='{. ^^Jl;' our minds. It has been a year of anxiety, of sorrow, and disappointment, yet ft has been a year of success. We were much strengthened and encouraged by the visit of the delegates fiom the General Assembly. They were scarcely gone when a dark cloud hung over us, and we had davs of watching, and nights of sickness and death among our workmen. Work was suspended, and \vc were afraid our buildings would not be completed before winter. But circumstances changed, and were able to proceed with the work, and at the beginning of the new year wc were ready to opLii school. We have been very successhil with our building. It has been warm and comfortable in every part during the severe winter, and well-fitted for the purpose for which it is intended. Wlun the Indian comes to visit his children, and finds then sttting down at a well-filled ta.jle, or looks in when they are about to retire, we hear many exclamations of wonder and delight. lie is g!;ul to find his children so comfortable; bu! there is a mystery about it all that he cannot understand. How is it possible that people who never saw hi children can love them .' How is it that they can feed them when they are hungry, clothe Uiem when they are naked, or shield them from the storm of winter and the north wind ? Our school still continues to increase in niinihcr We have now an average attendance of about 40 ir all. On April 3rd, we had our fir.-^t visit from Indian school inspector, Mr. McHae. We were much encouraged by his visit. 1 should a'so mention that we have received much encouragm*nt from the Indian agent, Col. McHonald, who has been quite enthusiastic in gathering up children and bringing them to the schools. The fonr farm instructors also have been one with us in this work, and I trust that with the united efforis of agent, farm instructors, and missionaries, and with God's help we shall be able to accumpli.sh a good work among the children of these bands. It is hard to induce the Indian to give up his old religion. They are bound to it by strong ties. The pagan when about to die, pleacis with his friends not to become Christians. Tl.> .iiedicine men warn the peo])le against the white man and his religion. But it is our privilege to struggle on. And we would like to say with Paul, " I am i.ot ashamed of the Gosjjel of Ch'"'?, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth". We have many tokens for good in our work The people an; be,':;inning to appreciate the school and the general feeling now is in iis favor The people are mme anxious to hear the word, and to know more about the God we worship. Some have frequently taken a drive of twenty miles to of, present at our service. One woman wished to be allowed to attend our school for a week to be taught how to pray. A little child was sick and not expected to live. Its mother in her sorrow prayed to God for the life of her child, promis- ing to consecrate it to Christ if it should be spared. The child is now a member Christ's visible church, and we trust this is God's plan tor bringing in the whole family. There arc at times as maiiy as sixty attending our service at the Mission. We have one appointment where, at the request of the Indians, regular services are held. We have also occasional services at other places at the request of the Indians, (>ne chief is wishing to become a (christian, and yet remains a pagan. There are many points in Christianity which he admires, yet he is loath to give up the religion of his fathers." These are some of the signs which show that " co them which sit in the region and shadow of death, light is springing up." cote's reserve. There are two reserves here near Fort Pelly, under the care of our church, Cote's and Kee sce-kon's. Cur missionary in charge is t'.e Hev. G. A. Laird, B. A., for whose salary the congre- gation of St. Andrew's Church, London, has, with true liberality become responsible. Our school on Cote's reserve is under the care of .Mr. 1). H. McVicar, B.A. Since Mr. Mc Vicar tt)ok chari;e of it, the school has been very successful. The number of pupils on the roll is .10, and the aver.i-e attendance for the last quarter is 22. For the whole year it was 20^. This is an excellent averaue for an Indian school. "IMiere is a class of seven in the 4th Book. A part of one of the gospels is read and studied daily, and such wcks as " Peep of Day " are carefully taught and much lil^e(l. The girls in the school are taught sewing, &c., by Mrs. Lairc' The nucleus of a good boarding- school has been formed by Mr. Laird. He has kept five or six 'children in his own house ; and so well satisfied is he with the experiment that he is very des. irons of having a hoardin^-sehool erected at once. And your Committee recommends that a sui.able building be put up with-uit delay. Mr. Laird sends the following report ; — " Our Sabl)ath and week eveniuir services ,ire regularly attended, not only by those who prcfess Christianity, but by a number of others, 'ihe people are quiet and orderly at the services, and listen attentively. At the principal station the attendance averages from 40 to .50 with sometimes as many as 70 ,, resent. There have lieen I.t bai)tisms, one of them that of an adult. Nine have been added to the communion roll, ei;.ilit on profession of faith, one by certiticate. We have had two communion services which have proved interesting, and we trust profitable. In August last Chief Cote became a convert to Chrisii.inity, and was baptized. He has not yet become a member in full communion, but has signitied his intention of doing so at the next opportunity. The work on these reserves is hopeful. The pre- sent is largely the time of sowing, but if the work is prosecuted with zeal, and in dependence upon God for a blessing, there is no doubt that the fruit will appear in due season. Even now we have evidence that the good seed is taking root, and springing up. We look for good results in con- nection with tne school. It has already done valuable service. It is most essential to thesnrecss of the work that an efficient school be maintained. It may be a difficult matter to elevate the present generation, so that they will becoine intelligent Christians. But if the children are cired Appendix No. 4. xvii for. T see no reason why the rising generation should not only become useful citizens, but take tlitir place in the church as enlightened Godfearing men and women." BIRD TAir, CREEK HESBRVB. The Rev. S. Tunkansuiciye. the misfionary of this band, is at present on leave of absence visiting his friends in Dakotah after many years' absence. He has been in ill health for the last year or two. and the reports received from him are not encouraging. It is our earnest prayer that he may soon be restored to health and usefulness. His place, in the mer.ntime, is supplied by the Hev. .lohn McArthur who takes this reserve in addition to his work on the Home ^lission field ailjacciit. There are '29 families on this reserve. Of these 14 belong to the little church. The rest .Tie -Still heathen. This little congregation has a communion roll of 20 names. Sabbath services arc well attended. There are three meetings during the week in connection with the congregation, all of which are well attended. On Tuesday evening a prayer meeting i.s held. Some of the men come to it, .a distance of three or four miles. On Thursday afternoon the women meet for work, anil the ]jroceeds are sent away to help foreign missions. And on Saturday evening a pros])erous Y. .M. C. A. holds its meeting. The church is a neat structure. There is a good organ and a Siciiix organist. Our school here is under the charge of Mr. J. G. Burgess. It is doing good work. The number on the roll is 22 with an average of from 10 to 15. OKANASE MISSION. j. The Rev. George Flett is in charge of this mission. The number of families reported is 27. There is a communion roll of .3,1. Church attendance varies from 30 to 70. There is a Sabbath scliDol kept up during the summer months with an attendance of from 2.5 to .10. Thtre have been t«o prayer meetings a week during the past winter at the request of the Indians instead of one as (ormerly. At Okanase the Indians are said to be almost as well civilized as their white neigh- bours. Their houses and outhouses are as good, but owing to the hunting propensities of the peo;ile, their farms are not so well cultivated as they should be. There is a good school here iiiuler the charge of Mr. John A. Lauder. The number of pupils enrolled is 21, the average attemlance is 16. Mr. Flett has a'so under his care the two reserves of Hossburn and Rolling River with a p( pulation of about 2.')i). These people are sunk in the depths of pagan darkness. Thus far our missionary has been able to make very little impression on them. It is the wish of your cminiittee to open a boarding school at Okanase for the accommodation of the children of the thiee reserves. In this way the rising generation at least of these two pagan bands will be brought into contact with the truth. rORTAOE LA PRAIRIE. Miss Wight reports favorably of the present condition of the Portage La Prairie school. It is rc|)orted as in a better state than it was a year ago. The attendance of pupils is improving, thoimh still very irregular. Miss Wight takes i» deep interest in her work, and is much encouraged In the improvement evident in the habits of the children, by their progress in education, and ebiKcially by the fact that some have accepted Christ as their Saviour. The parents, too, ai.e becoming interested, and are receiving good from the school in various ways. It would, however b" much better for both whites and Indians if the band could be induced to give up their wander- ing life, and settle down on a reserve. Until this is done, our efforts for their benefit are carried on under great disadvantage, and any decided success is scarcely to be expected. Again your committee would express its hearty thanks to the Women's Foreign Mission Society for its invaluable help in our mis.sion work among the Indians. The burden of many a letter from our missionaries is the untold good done through the generous gifts of clothing so liberally bestowed. This leport shows that we have under our care eleven schools with an attendance of about S.iO i)i,|)ils. We have nineteen bands with a jjoimlation of about S.'iOO, out of a total Indian po|iulation of over 30,000. We have seventeen ministers and missionary-tcacliers engaged in tliis Work. Our most pressiiig need at present is an addition to our mission staff. Two more labourers— men of the right spirit— are urgently recpiircd. Our prayer to the Lord of the harvest is that He will soon send more laborers into His harvest. ' '.1 XVlll Appendix No. 4. IV.— MISSION TO CHINA. •* ■■ ■ 'k ■ ■■■. ■■ '..

Writing on the 9th March, ISSS, !»r. MacKay, of whom we may now speak as our veteran missionary, says : — •" Sixteen yevus a;>o tliia day, my eyes first gazed on the Tainsui hills. Hero are a few sf.'ntcnccs from my JDiiriiiii of that day : ' Al)out three p. m. entered tlie harbour and dropped anchor.

As there are many friends of Formosa who have expressed a wish to have fuller iiifDinm tion regarding the mission stations and the preachers occupying then), we give the follow inu' talde to gratify this pro])er and natural desire.

Some young men now preaching never worshipped idols. Tiieir parents accepted tlif truth sixteen years ago before the boys were considered old enough to take part in idol wdisliip.

Circumstances at any one station nuiy reijuire that a man of s|iecial wisdom and t;u;t be sent for a time. Sickness or even death may cause a ciumge. IViiiaiis a new chapel is opened.

With much labor, troublesome correspondence, etc.. Dr. MacKay obtained compensation money from Mandarins for the chapels destroyed viicu the Flench were here. With this money he might have built a largei- number of inferior (.liii|iels. but did not do so. He considered the state of mind of the Chinese at tlie time. He Imilt a few solid stone churciies purposely to impress the heathen with tlie idea that the chapels ;iii(l tlie mission work are to be permanent, and that the more they would opjwse the more ikteiniiiied would l)e the stand taken by the church and the more it would prosper. I have litiii ill the country, and have heard what the people say. The more I hear and see f)f the ef ftrt on the heathen, and what these churches have done for the church, the more I see the visiliiiii of the course Dr. MacKay took at the time. Far more than he intentled has been ac- ioiii|ihi" «'!'' ng, guidinK ami ery one, foivii-'ii who so kindly Here is an extract from a letter to Dr. Mackay from one of the native ordain*'!! ministers, Rev. Tan He, pastor of the Cliurch at Sintiam : "Most heloved friend, Pastor Mackay, you h.ive asked me to give an account of my work for 1887. Please send this to Ciinada, where kind jK'ople reniemher us. I preach every Sabbath, and visit many places around preaching the <;()spel of our Saviour. I gave medicines in 1887 to 1-4,16.

CONTRAST BETWEEN 1879 AND 1888. 1st. Jn the Citv of ludore. — On reaching Indore in December, 1879, we were told thnt an order was in existence forbidding all Christian work ; and, five months after, the only Mission School in the city was forcibly closed by order of the Durbar. The Church of England Mis- sionaries then stationed there were also practically doing nothing from the same cause. When I began preaching in the city, net on the streets, but in an o])en, deep veranda, the determined and continuous opposition of the Durbar was met with — the people l^eing sliamefnily abused for listening to us. and we being insulted and even struck for daring to attempt such work. Our Colporteur was arrested ; our schools interfered with, in some cases closed : houses that we had rented were fcrcibly oj)ened and given over to new tenants. &c. In a word, we were made t J feel that we had no rights there that the Durbar would recognize. Wi, ^ a contrast to our present position ! We can now preach, teach, sell books, rent or even buy yroperty, and just before I left, the Dowager Maharain,for a Female Hospital and new College, donated, through the Prime Minister, eleven (II ) acres of ground in the Hesidency limits, lying exactly between the city and camp, and therefore in the best possible locality for reaching both. We have schools for girls and br,vs, in which Christianity is regularly taught; a dispensary for females (under Drs. Beatty and Oliver), where trom fiO — 100 are daily relieved, and in the same building an hospital full with its six beds, but with others ready to enter if more roo.i .:i.uld be provided — all enjoying the confidence of the people in a rapidlv increasing measure. 2nd. /;/ the Rei' iencv ///////.y— sometimes called the camp, the Si.i; il niece of Hritish territory ocrupied bv the Agent Governor-General (A. G. G.), the highest re pre -i ative of British authority in Central India — we ''ave b«-en made to feel all that intolerant hatr* ! )f Christianity and arhi- trnry high-handedness )n the part of a British official can do. Sir l^epel Gri ". i, after a short sojourn at Indore, stated that we need expect no favors ^''■"■r him in reference to our work, as Hinduism and Mahomedanism were, in his estimat! • ..leierable to Christianity, and as Mission- aries were liable to cause complications between the British Government and the native States ; and most consistently has he carried out his purpose. He forbade our establishing any school in the Ilesidencv limits ; refused to give us any ground for any purpose and hindered us from buying from those who wanted to sell ; for a time refused to allow Miss Beatty, M D., to have either hospital or dispensary for women, and afterwards only agreed to her having a dispensary provid- ing she confined ber efforts to native women. Now we have not only a good High School, but also a College affiliated to Calcutta University, and carrving the students over half the B. A. work, a large girls' school under Miss Hodger, which it is hoped will soon be a High School, the only one in ("entral India for girls ; we have four mission houses, three of them new ; four different properties, if we include the last presented b\ the Dowager Maharain ; a fully equipped dispensary, together with the beginnings of a Medii al School for women, and with the prospect of a new hos))ital not far distant ; a large printing press which does the greater part of the Government printing, in addition tc what is more distinctively mission, and which brings in about one hundred rupees per month; a self supporting congrega- tion, which supported for some time two Missionaries of its own at Oojein, and latterly has undertaken the entire runniiig expenses of the Boarding School, in addition to what it has been able to send to the Foreign Mission Funds of the Church and elsewhere ; and a well-recognized standing as one of the permanent institutions of the place, and enjoying the confidence and sym- pathy of the greater part of the people. At Oojein the right to preach and have schools was only conceded through the persistent efforts cf Narayen about the same time that it was granted at Indore ( 1885) ; and so Mr. Murray in 1887 found free scope for all his energies in that ancient stronghold of Hinduism ; at Rutlam Mr. Campbell, bv a quiet but not less persistent way, has during the past two years not only gained a foothold, but also secured a site on which to build ; and at Neemuch Mr. Wilson has during the past three years been able to carry on freely his work in the city belonging to Maharajah Scindia. In 1879 we had but two stations — Indore and Mhow ; now we have five, viz . Mhow, Indore, Oojein, Rutlam and Neemuch, in all of which are schools for boys and girls, dispensaries, regular Sabbath and week day preaching, each centre with its staff of workers slowly but surely leavening the dense mass of heathenism that but 11 years ago was all but untouched. Nothing has been said of the long wearv fight itself, in which often (and especially a; first), almost a'one we wc-e subjected to so much that is painful to human flesh and that brought out so much of intrigue, quibbling and misrepresentation that we thought possible in a native Durbar, but certainly not in those represenMng Her Majesty, nor in a Government that professes to be based on Christian principles. The secular press under European control was almost to a unit opposed to us, and did not a little to increase our difficulties ; but several of the leading native Appendix No. 4.

Justice demands also that reference be .>.ade to the valiant service done for u.s by the liulian Witness, of Calcutta, under the gifted Dr. 'I'l.oburn. and by the Bomhay Gnat diiiii, edited by the saintly Bowen ; and also of Lord Hipon's kind and decicled help, when the facts were made known to him by a personal interview, and of Lord DulTerin's less official but not less efi'ective help after his arrival in India in 1884. During the past two years we have been specially helped by Dewa.i Bahadur Ragnnnth Rao, the Prime .Minister at Indore, a most cartful and wise statesman and a liberal and enlightened frient] of missionaries and civilization — one who amidst the severe strain of a disorganized state under a weak ruler, has managed so well to not only keep the state from anarchy and rebellion, but even to introduce and carry out many of the best i)rincii)les of British rule — so much so that he now is looked to as the one man on whom should fall both the burden and honor of controlling the state if the British Government is forced to interfere in regard to its ruler. In h'm I have always found a faithful friend ready to help wherever he could in what he calls our " noble work," and to whom I personally and the mission as a whole owe a deep debt of gratitude. It would be impossible to mention the many Christian and Hindu friends to whom the Presbyterian Church in Canada is indebted since the Missionary Conferences throughout Fndi.T were at one with us in recognizing the great importance of the fight for liberty in native s..ates and in doini: all they could to help us. I must, however, mention Rev. J. Fordvce, the Superin- tendent of the Indian Evangelization Society, who at Simla so earnestly took up our cause and helped me to reacV those there best able to help. The battle of Christian liberty thus fought out for native states was the same as that fought out fifty years .igo for British India by the older Missionaries. It has establi.>ihed the right of Missionaries in native states, and so opened up the wav for aggressive work in the other native states of Central India. Would that as a Church we were able to enter in and possess them all. No notice has been taken of the direct spiritual results in which mere figures would be only misleading. VVhen we see the disregard of the educated and enlightened natives for their old system, the general spirit of inquiry and the great revolution socially and religiously that is ])assing over the land ; the rich harvest that older Missions are only now gathering in after long weary years of sowing, surely we can be toiling to follow the Master in the patient sowing of the seed as lie is preparing India for Ills grand and glorious rule. During the i>ast year work has gone on much as in former years, more work opening up before us on every side than we with our limited means could possibly overtake. The specially new development of the year is the Canadian Mission College, which we found ourselves able to open last July. At first we were greatly assisted by the voluntary help of the son and nephew of the Prime Minister — both B. A.'s of Madras University, who for six months took charge of the Mathematics, Historv and Logic to enable us to get a start in what the Prime Minister, Dewan Bahadur Ragunath Rao and they regarded as so very important. It was an experiment, and the students saw that quite as clearly as we did ; still we have had (13) thirteen students enrolltnl, a number that will be very decidedly increased next year, I have every reason to believe We have a very larjic field entirely to ourselves — in Malwa last year no less than (24) twenty-four passrd the matriculation examination of Calcutta University, of whom we should get the greater nundjer, if we but gain the confidence of the people. It will also be of interest to mention that nearly all these students are scholarship men from the different Rajahs round about us. We have been able to add a full supply of the physiographic maps, that cost us 235 rupees, but of which nearly the entire cost was contributed by our friends at Indore. From the same source we obtained during the \ear money sufficient to buy the school prizes, some dumb bells, &c., for gymnastic exercise, and books for a small school library. On behalf of the school I bejf to convey our sincere thanks to the Foreign Mission Comfhittee for their kind donation of the two volumes of Picturesque Canada. The school has, however, to report a serious drawback this year. In harmony with Sir Lepel Griffin's well-known policy, we have found our school very unfairly represented in his annual refiorts, but this year, for some cause as yet not manifest, the grant-in-aid was stopped last August. Our school occupies a higher position than ever before, and the Inspector reports that the amount granted to us is small as compared with our standing, yet somehow it has been unpaid since August, 1887. I have no doubt that a personal representation to the Government at Simla wouM not only secure the grant again, but also one for the College and new College building — now so necessary- but that has not yet been done. We this year, with most satisfactory results, insisted on the attendance of every boy in school and college in the different Bible classes that meet from 4 to 4.30 p. m. The marked advancement amongst the students has been most cheering. Not only is Hinduism losing its hold on them, Christianity is in an astonishing way leavening the whole mass. The need of a new building both for the High School and College is now pressing on us, and I have had from those in authoiity the encouragement held out that we may hope to get from Government as much as we can raise ourselves, provided the plans and estimates are such as Government can approve of. We hope, therefore, the friends in Canada will come to our help and enable us to raise a building that will be an honor to our Church and a powerful means of advancing the Master's cause. Could the good friends but sit with me for four or five hours amidst the babel of sounds on every side, whilst at the same time trying to imj)art knowledge to those in front of him, 1 am sure a new building would soon rise at Indore. fwM « xxvi Appendix No. 4.

MEDICAL MIS.SION REPORT, 1S87. Medical work has been moving on in Indore in spite of the disadvantages it has had to contend against duiing tlie past twelve months. On account of ill health we were unable to take any active part in the work for a very considerable part of the year. Because of this it had to be left in the hands of an a.ssistant. The opening of an hospital for women and children is the; most satisfactoi'y advance of the year. The need of this has all along been felt, and became at last so pressing that "c were constrained ty tike patients into the vacant rooms of the house in the city, wh.ere \,c have had a Ciisiiunsary for the past two years. Our Bible woman, whom we have trained to help us in medical work, volunteered to live in the city and take charge of our small hospital. Wo opened it in the lirst week of February, and during these weeks ten women and two children ave lieeu adiiatted. Of these, the tirst patient was a Brahmin. 'Ihis fact was and will lie of '•nsiderable importance, as it is a precedent for other high <;aste women. Five Brahmins, two .vjputs, one I'anya, one Chuinar and three Mahomedans make up the number. A hosjiital is . many of the native women a place to be dreaded, because yet strange to them, still we have •lany patients needing hospital treatment and care who would gladly come had we accommo- (, ion for t'lem. At present the number we can adnut has to be regulated by their caste, as well as by the cubic feet of space we have for them. The upper flat of the building used cannot bt utilized, because the Brahmins will not go so high up, nor may low caste women occupy it, a^ in order to reach the stairway they would have to pass through the other rooms. Having putients in a house where they are daily under our eye, and where theie is a Christian woman, sii^h as we are fortunate in having in our Bible woman, caring for them, gives many opportunities for a word of healing to souls blind, but knowing not their blindness. During the year 6,092 patients have been treated in the dispensaries, and 41 1 visited at their homes. Comparing the work of the past three months with the eorresjionding period of the previous year we see that we are not standing still. The total number treated in the •lispeiisaiies tluriiig December, January and February of last year 1,029, of this year 2,r)!)9, and this increase is yet more marked jbetween March, 1887, and March, 1888, but we must not anticipate next year's report xxvm Appendix No. 4. i: :t The onft native Cliristian woman, trained to Jiulp uh in nicdical worlt, lia« proved «o valualilc an as«I«tant that wt: have oi-f^'ani/fil anothur claHs of three.

The didicidty of getting Mihle women to carry on Zenana work without a /enana mis- Hionaiy over tht'ui is a very great hindrance to mission work, and the fact that tlicre aie no ladies in the field to take u]) Zenana work in the city is a great Iosb, not to medit il. hut to mission work. It is impossil)le for us to carry on both. Kitlier one is Hutliciiiit for the Hti'ongcst if it he carried on in such a vvay as to he either \iBefnl or ci'editahle. At least two Zenana worki-rs ought to he associated with each medical woman. These with native iSiliic Monien could do much. As it is now, our time and stiength and your money are to a largi; extent spent in doing sinifily charituhle work, Itecause there is no one to follow up good impressions liy uontinued g(/od influence and C'hristian teaching.

Witiidut Zenana teaching, humanly speaking, all is lost. We camiot say that eternity is lost, hut certaiidy time is. Miss Koss's school work is in. our hands. In the hope of keeping the girls together till nioro teaclieis can come from Canada we have undertaken to supervise the native Christian teachers in the school. One or at Jmost two visits in the week are all we can do for it. Nevertheless it is going on. The teachers are faithful, the pupils attentive and fairly regular in attendance. Seventy si.x nanie.s are on the roll, with an average of thirty-fivi;, This is somewhat less than wiicn Miss Koss left. The Zenana work in connectioi\ with the school we were not ahle to touch. iMiss 'ioss will doubtless give you a report of it all at homo E. R. BKATTV, MARION OLIVER. REPORT OK REV. W. A. WILSON, NEEMUCH. In looking back over the past year we are moved to gratitude that God has granted to us and our native helpers health ffu- <^he prosecution of our work. We are grateful also for tlie unlimited opportunities of sowing the seed of the kingdom, and for signs that our work has not altogetlier been in vain. 'I"lu! fol!f>wing are some of the ways in which during the year we have sought to advance the interests of the kingtlom of the Lord Jesus. I.— EVASOELLSTIC EFFORT.S. Preaching services have been held as regularly as possible in the bazaar and wards of tiio city. As a rule the | eople listen respectfully and with apparent interest to oui' message, even though the Maliomcd ms, bent on destroying or hindering our work, endeavour to wi-angleaiid dispute. This we refuse to do, and they move away uttering taunting jeeis, to gather an opposition crowd, before whom they revile Christianity and abuse the Holy Name. Canou Taylor knows not of what he writes when he tells us that Mahouiedans are not far from tlic kingdom of Christ. They are here, as everywhere, the most bitter antagonists of the Christian religion, denying and intensely hating the doctrines of the Divine Sonship, the incaruiitiou and the atonement. In the villages also round about the Gospel has been regularly preached. We have been able to make new arrangements Ijy which our Catechist, Mr. Balarani, and native doctor, Mr. L'avid, can devote their mornings chiefly to this work. Mr. David carries with him a sujiply of medicines, by which he ministers to the wants of the body while lie preaches the Go.spel (if spiritual healing. This work is much appreciated by the villagers, who are utterly destitute of all medical help. As an example, I nuxy mention the case of one village where 1 have given much labour and attention. The chief man, a Brahmin, having received aid in time of sick- ness, has proved most friendly. He gathers the people of his village in the evenings after tlie day's work is done and reads in their n;idst from the Sacred Book. Many of the people profess faith in Christ. But they are not prepared to confess his name by baptism. One of tlieir number, suffering from traumatic tetanus, was brought to the dispensary for treatinent, He was told that liis end was near, and urged to rejieut and believe. I saw him several times Appendix No. 4.

The rouii' is fre(^uently (piite nlled with out- siilers. During part of the year a IJihIe class was conducted for the instruction of the native liclpers. A weekly meeting is held for prayer and the study of the Word, and a meeting for the special study of the passages taught in the Sunday ScIkjoI is held on Saturday evening. t to advance III. — aPNUAY SCHOOLS. There are four Sunday .Schools— two for boys and two for girls— held every Sabbath morning. The work in coimection with these is most interesting. For an hour or more the children, averaging one hundred and ten in attendance, are taught the saving tiuths of the Bible. In the boys' schools the international lesson, and in the girls' schools the " I'eep of Day " is made the basis of instruction. The pupils of the day schools are the scholars of the Sunday Schools. In the low caste and girls' schools all the pupils of the day schools regularly attend, hut the high caste boys of tile A. V. school cannot be induced to atteml so well. In the case of the girls, however, some are allowed to attend the Sunday School who are not allowed to attend the ilay school. IV.— WEEK DAY SCHOOLS. 1. /j'o;/.s' Schools. — There are under our care four schools — two in the camp, one in the old city, and one newly organized in Jirani, a village 11 miles from hero. In Xovendiei- I opened, at the reijuest of a number of the citizens, an Anglo-vernacular school in the camp. It has steadily grown in attendance, which, acccording to the roll, now numbers MKi. The iiuthorities of the Cantonment school proposed amalgamation, but the conditions in reference tu the teaching of Scripture were such as I could not agree to, and rather than be hampered in the work of Christian instruction I determined to do without the grant. The school is opened daily with the reading of Scripture and prayer. The Bible is also taught in e;,ch class us a daily lesson by Balarani, the Catechist. Each day I spend in the school two hours, one of which I devote to religious instruction in the senior class. Christianity is also taught in the other schools. The bazaar school, under the care of (iiivind Kani, has somewhat improved in attendance during the year, and the teacher seems to be exercising a good intiuence over the boys. The daily attendance averages 'JO for the year. " In old Neemueh, the school was closed for a short time, as the teacher's services were rcinured in the large school. But I have lately secured another teacher, and the school is agaitt inuspering. The daily attendance averages 17. i XXX Appendix No. 4. if ■i,„i ' A village scliool has been opened at Jiram. It promises well at present, but it has iidt been long enough in existence to give assuianoe aa to its future. Tlie attendance is 18. 2. ///;/.s' .SV/ioo/s.— There are two seliools for girls under the supervision of Mrs. Wilson. One of tliein, in whioli Phulibai teaches very successfully, is now in its second year of exiatiin e with a (l.iily average of IG in attendance. Tlie girls have made remarkalde progress, and the parents are beginning to appreciate the work done for them, and the prejudices are slowly passing away. The second school is tauglit by Catherine, wife of the medical catechist. 'I ho daily attendance is 14. The scriptures are daily taught in these schools, examinations wt re held at Ciiristnias, and the dolls and toys, &c., sent from Canada, were given to tlie successful competitors, to their immense delight. v.— ITINERA NOV. Owing to the demands of the school on my time, I have not been able to do so nnieli district work as I desired. With two helpers I spent about six weeks in tent, making Jiram, Nimbahera, Jawnd and Sadri, in turn centres of operation. In most places we were welcdmed back after our last year's visit. In our work we adopted '■he .same plan as last year, visiting the villages in the mornings, preaching in the city bazaar in the afternooons, and giving exiiibitions at night near our tent, of Scripture scimusi, ]Jiblc texts, and Hymns in Urdu and Hindi, by means of the magic lantern. The organ (iii4 violin we found very helpful in gathering a crowd at any time we desired. Our native Christiiui doctor took a supply of medicines and ministered to bodily need as occasion ofl'ered, VI. — BOOKSHOP. Delaur Masih, the colporteur, joined on higher salary another mission, and I have not yet succeeded in getting a man for this work. But the teachers and other helpers have sold tracts and books as their other duties permitted. The sale of religious tracts during tlie yi-;ir has been very small ; there is little disposition on the part of the people to buy. Cluliinii sometimes having bought a trat.. will bring it back declaring that they liave been beaten for buying Ciiristian books. Several New Testaments and tracts have been distributed gratuitously. One of the native (/hristiaus, Balaram gave a sum of Rs. 20 to be applied in the free distribu- tion of Scriptures. VII. — DISPEN.SARY. This Branch of the work hap been continued, but not without interruption. The native doctor whom 1 liad employed left for higher paj' and it was some time before I got another iuitable man. Wo are now giving more attention to the villages as the ncpd is greater there. Since we opened our Dispensary here, three others, two of them by Scindia's (Jovernmeiit, have been opened in this held. We have provoked even the heathen to good works. But the work of caring for the sick of the city may soon be thrown on us again, as it is re- ported that the (iovernu.'ent Dispensary in old Neemuch may soon be closed. In the meantime we are paying special acx'ntion to tlie needs of the outlying districts for which nothing has been done. Ihe Dispensary is kept open for an hour and a half in the morning, and the word is spoken to them who assemble, but the chief work of the medical Catechist lies in the villau'es. These are some of the ways in which we are striving to reach the hearts of the people and to present the Gospel as God's remedy for sin. But we have often to say in sadness " who hath believeil our report," and to mourn over the indiflference an returned, ;iiid h;is now sunk to almost nothing since our removal to Indore. One most interesting feature was the attendance of our young women, who came to hear tlio singing and tlic Bible lesson alone, freijuently numbering as many as the regular scholars, or say ,35 in all. This began, however, only a few weeks before our removal, and ceased with it. The wife of the Dewan (I'rime Minister) ami daughter of the Naib (assistant) iUnvan took private lessons from Mrs. Cantpbell at our house for some time. Visiting of /cnanas has beeu iiie^ular ; more doors are always open than can be entiu'ed.

On the mission i)roperty there are two school buildings, (ine for l)oys, which can accom- modate a''ont 7'j, and the other for girls with accommodation for between 40 and 50. Unwards of 3,000 French Canailians have already been educated iiore. Many of these now occupy jKjsitions of trust ami influence as ministers, teachers, physicians, lawyers, merchants, etc. Pupils are ad- mitted between the ages of tliirteen and twenty-five, the average age being about seventeen. A preference is given to the sons and daughters of French Roman Ca- tholic parents and to the children of recent converts from Rome living in parishes where there is no Protestant school. Many of those are unable to read or write when lirst received into the schools. The session begins in October each year and contii ?s for seven months. The pupils all reside in the buildings, and thus enjoy the advantages of a Christian home, under ihe watchful nurture of earnest, devoted teachers. Thev all take their share of housework. The day's duties are thus laid out ; — Rise at 5.30 a.m. All are in the class-rooms studying privately from 6 tu 7. Breakfast at 7. House and out-door wt irk from 7.30 to 8.45.

A couiiuittee of the Board examined tlie schools orally every month, and written examinations in all ihc branclieH tau;^ht were conducted in December and April. A public examination was hcM in January in the lecture ball of Erskine Chui'idi, Montreal, and was larj^ely attended liv friendu of the work. The proficiency of the pupils and the {general appearance of the scIkuiU called fortli warm commendation from those present. Kifty-lwo of the pu|)ils of last se-.-inn are now members cf the Church. The hoys maintain a rej^iilar wecdtly prayer meetiii;.', lui'l (piite a large number of them have the ministry of the Church in view. Vour former pii|iils of Pointe-aux-Trembles entered the F'resbyterian College last fall, and other four or live in- tend entering next October. A missionary society was established in the schools last yciir, the members of which contributed $2!') towards the ordinary work of the Board, ami $.")() towards tlie extension of the schoitl buildings. When the Board acquired the propertv in 1880 they resolved to admit no jiupils gratuitously, except Roman Catholics wiiuse paicnl- were unable or unwilling to contribute. All others are recpiired to pav .something, in pnipi r. tion to their ability, towards board and tuition. The amount received in this way duriiij.' the past pesflion was $1,194, nearly one-sixth of the whole cost. A considerable portion of iliis amount was money earned by the pupils themselves during the preceding summer. Tlii> result is most gratifying', indicating as it iloes an increasing appreciation of the value nt ii good edu(!ation. After deducting these fees the average cost to the Cimrch of each pupil is $50 per session. The Board are most anxious that the Institution should be supported I'V means of Hcholarsliips of $50 each, guaranteed by private individuals or Sabbath Schools. A particular pupil is assigned to the donor of a schofarshit), to whom reports as to the progic-s made are forwarded from time to time. In this way a Sabbath School contributing a schohir- ship, is put directly in correspondence with the Alission School, and the letters, if read nnli- licly to the Sabbath School, tend to keep up their interest in the work. Moreover the Scli'"il can every Sabbath remember by name, in its pravers, the pupil it supports, ami ciin scarcely fail itself to receive benefit by being thus dircctlv brought into contact with tin pupil educated by means of its missionary contributions. The enlargement of the hiiildiiiL'- ana the consequent increase in the number of pupils will necessitate a very coiisideialilc in- crease in expenditure annually. It is hoped, therefore, that many more of the Saliliatii Schools of tlie Church will assume the support of a pupil. THE ANNUAL REPORT OP THE PRINCIPAL. After another session of toil and constant care, the month of May lias opened the door? of our School before its swarm of pupils, and they are already scattered all over this Pruviiirt'. working in the humble spheres to whicli they have been called. The younger ones have merrily said good-bve to the old school to return to their Iiuint'- and spend the vacation with their parents. The older ones have gone to work for tiieiii- selves in the various situations which liave opened before them, while some of the inuri' advanced in their studies and in the knowledge of the word of God have obtained work in the vineyard of the Master. Wo feel very thankful to the Lord who has so abundantly blessed us during the pa-i session in providing for all our needs, in keeping our crowded School BuiK'i'.\gs from severe sickness, and in strengthening our hands by tne good spirit manifested by tho^e placed under our care. However, we cannot forget the great trial through which Mr. Watier, cne of our iiio-t devoted teachers, has passed; death came and took away his beloved wife with scarcely ;i moment's warning. During last summer Mrs. Watier taught a mission school which lui'l just been opened in the city. She did her work faithfully and with so much tact ami pr"" "dence that after a few weeks her school numbered some thirty lloman Catholic pupil-. It seems tiiat the task was too much for her strength, and four months after she had left her dear pupils she was suddenly called to her rest while she, was spending a few weeks at home. Over three hundred boys and girls sought admission into our school during the pa>t vear. But on account of scarcity of room we could admit only one hundred and twenty. Of tlie.se forty-five were (diildren of Koman Catholic parents.

In view of the large number of applications for admission during the past few years, the Board a year ago adopted a resolution in favor of the enlargement of the Pointe aux Trembles schools, and the estivblishment of a similar institution in the vicinity of Quebec, as soon as practicable. The General Assembly having unanimously approved of this decision, an appeal was made for funds, in response to which about $7,250 have thus far been reciivcd. Of this amount the sum of $1,910 was obtained through the instrumentality of the Montreal Woman's Migsionary Society, who generously resolved to make an >ffort to raise $">,000 to increase the accommodation for girls at Pointe aux Trembles. To the members, and espefially to the executive of this society, the most cordial thanks of the Hoard are given. Plan-; for the extension of the schools were prepared by Messrs. Hutchison & Steele, arcliitects. Tliuso include a wing of 35 i 50 feet and also an additional story to the boys' building, and a wing of 25 X 44 feet to the girls' school, providing ample accommodation for 120 boys and 80 girls, in all 200 pupils. Tenders having been asked for, it was found that the cost of tlif additions to the boys' building, with necessary repairs, would amount to about Sll,'""^ and an additional sum of $1,000 for furnishing. Although this is considerably in excess of the Slim thus far received for the purpose, the contracts were let, in the confident hope that the iriends of the cause will, without delay, provide the adilitional amount retpiired fm this much needed work. It is expected that the addition will be completed before tlu' opening of next session, in October. The Board, however, did not feel justified in goin,i on at present with the extension to the girls' building. They hope that the effort of the Woman's Missionary Society will piovf so Bucvesaful, as to warrant this being done at an early date. Appendix No. T). IX. nd B. Cla.«se:J son. . McGregor and 7. r.

There is a lonsiderable popidatiou, both French and iMiglisli, chiefly in villages where there are saw mills, lishing stations or Hudson Hay Posts. The following are some of the points visited by Mr. Vessot on the tour referred to ; — Pninie ks. several ot our inissionaiies particiiiating in them. The Convener of the Presbytery's Committee on Prencli work preached there a couple of evenings in Septianber, the attendance being very gratifying, and the interest very marked.

The day school has t/iirti/ sidiolars on the R'ibseribed towards the erection of a mission hall and school combined, tenders for whicii have already been received. An additional $2,500 is yet required. If only the friends of our mission would come proin[)tly forward to our aid, the work would soon be accom- plished, and we would have a prosperous cause there, for there is an excellent opening.

Boudreaii has been doing a quiet work among the lloiuiin Catholics in tiiis part. A single example will indicate this. One day he visited a koniaii Catholic family for the tirst time. He said nothing on the subject of religion, laving that for another visit. What was his surprise to see the man and his wife at ciiiin h tlie following Sabbath. He found out from them that they possesseil a new Testament, iiiiil iiad been reading it for some time, the consequence being the entrance of spiritual litrld into their benighteil hearts. l< Xll. Appendix No. 5. Cannino Street CHunoH, Montukai,. — The Rev. A. B. Crnchet ministers to Mmcfijty families jvnd individuals, including a hundred people, out of which there are about sixty communicants. Not a single member of his congregation is on the Poor Relief Fund of the city. During the summer this church underwent repairs to the extent of six hundred dollars, a jnirt of which was borne by the congregation, and part collected from friends of *he mission. l''ifieen were added to the C'ommunion HoU. ii; 'oiiclusion, we have to note that the hostile attitude of Romai. Catholic priests, work- men, and employees, and the indifference of many Protestants, have a v^i-v deleterious efft^ct on our work. French Protestants are forced to move from one place to another to find work to siijiport their families. This weakens our congregations, and operates against the religion.s interests of the families themselves. Tliese facts explain the changing aspect of many con- gregations. But our duty is a plain one. We have no option. We must push on. We must " go in and possess the land." Truly the fields are white. Many signs of disconteiit amons; lloman Catholics, but esp(!cially their deplorable ignorance and superstition, coupled with an incrciising scepticism on the part of the educated, invite us on, and surely we will be false to our profession of fidelity to Christ, as well as guilty concerning our brethren, imless we go on, and do the work the Lord has laid upon us. MISCELLANEOUS. The General Assembly, at its meeting in Winnipeg last year recommended the Eoanl to make arrangements to send the Rev. C. A. Doudiet to visit as many of the congregations of the Church as possible, in the interest of the work. In aC'iordance with this reconiii.: - dation, Mr. Doudiet visited a number of congreg.ition with such success., that t.a Board, at its meeting in March, unanimously resolved to ask him to dcnte himself, ni',\"- time, to this work, and also to the work of visiting the various mission fields .nnd scJi'^i^ connected with the Board, such visitation to be .ntni('n. to be, meanwhile, a tentative one, and the salary to be f u!^out 2,500 French Bibles ami Testaments from the British andPoreigr.

Several cases of French tract-", naniphlets and periodicals were purchased at reduced rates from the central dtpot, Pans. France, and the Board supplied to the committee of the Lumbermen's Mission large quantities of French literature for distribution in the shanties on tiie Ottawa, Gatiiieau and Mattawi Rivers. One of the missionaries of the Board, Rev. Jos. Vessot, recently compiled a ino.-^t use- ful paiiiphiev, " Le tresor du vrai bonlieur,"' containing the promises of the Bible .systemalic- aily arranj'ed. Five thousand copies of this have been printed at the expense of a few friends, auii already large numbers of them have been ilistributed by our missiuiiaries. As the number of French Canadians able to read increases, the thirst for knowledge grows, ami literature of this kind is eagerly devoured by many. THE OTTAWA LADIES' OOIJiEGE. In Aoi" , List tl."

Mr. Goforth, whose nomination by the Society was sanctiontid by the late General Assembly, proceeded in January to Honan in Ghinat the field to which he was appointed by the Foreign Mission Committee. May the divine blessing rest abundantly upon this new work ! The Society sends out to the home field for the summer sixteen representati ven. The Knox CoUegt MotUMy hits been conducted throughout the past year with much ability. It is hoped that the Alumni and friends of the College will see to it that the circulation of the Afonthht shall be made sufficient to secure its financial basis, and thus insure the permanency of a peri(xlicai, which has alreadv an excellent reputation, and which may be rendered increasingly useful to the CoUera and the Church. The Saturday morning conferences were largely occupied with the books of the New Testament, each of which was !:aken up in succession chiefly in their practical and devotional aspects. ( )n several Saturdays, however, topics bearing upon the work of the ministry and on missions were considered. A valuable address on Sabbath schools was given at one of the conferences by the Bev. J. M. Cameron. The degree of Doctor in Divinity was conferred upon the Rev. C. Forman, M.A., of the American College at Lahore, India ; the Rev. John Stewart, M.

The TruoteeH submit their annual Report to the General Assembly with even more gladness amt gratitude to God than usual. (.Queen's continues to grow at the same steady r8t ment suflBcient to ensure the permanency of the University, we reported last yeir concerning an additional fund. The minimum sum aimed at was $2.50,000 for Endowment and $10,000 for a new Science Hull. We have now the pleasure of reporting that $240,000 has been promised for Endow- ment, of which nearly $60,000 has been paid, and that one tried friend, John Carruthers, Esq., of Kingston, has sent his cheque for $10,1.50 for the new building. This liberality on the part of our friends puts us in an excellent position ; and though a considert^le portion of the Fund was given by donors for special objects, some of them different from those indicated in our appeal as most enen- tial, we are none the lesH thankful. Not half the ground that was intended to be canv)>^sed was touched. The Principal's illness made it impossible for him to go to places where he was expected and which he had promised to visit ; but in order that the sum required to complete the Fund and to meet shrinkage may be raised, and that the Jubilee Fund may be collected promptly, the Board has appointed the Rev. T G. Smith, D.D., as General Secretary of the University. The illness incurred by the Principal for the second time while "anvassing for money, clearly demonstrates that it is wrong tn lay this burden upon men engaged in ii'rofessorial work and the general administration of the affairs of an important seat of learning. We have therefore asked the Principal to travel for his health ; and in the future all the work connected with finance will be attended to by the General Secretary. We can now replace temporary by fixed revenue, and extend the University in different direc- tions. The Chair of Oriental Lunguagea, should Dr. Smith be successful in his work, will then be a-isigned to the Faculty uf Arts, as is done in Toronto and Montreal, and in the Theological Depart- ment we hope soon tu be able to appoint a third Professor. We fee] assured that the Assembly will extend hearty congratulations on the marvellous success that we are able to report, and acknowledge the liberality of the people of Kingston in particular who contributed nearly one-third of the Fund. The importance of having Queen's Univesity thor- oughly equipped in all its Faculties is now universally acknowledged by the Church and the country ; and while it has done good work in the past, everyone will rejoice that it has reached a position in which it can do even better work and on a larger scale.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE PRESBY- TERIAN COLLEGE, MONTREAL, FOR THE YEAR 1887-8. The Board of Management of the Preshyterian College, Mont real, beg leave to present their Report for the past year, together with that of the .Senate and the usual detailed financial statement. From these it will be apparent that the institution hats, under the Divine blessing, enjoyed a year of much prosperity, and that the prospect for the future is encouraging. The work of all the classei*, both theological and literary, has been carried on with regularity and to the satisfaction of all concerned. The number in attendance has been as large as in any previous year, and the health o£ both professors and students has continued excellent. Twelve students completed the regular theological course, and one took the post-graduate course. Witli one exception, all of these gentlemen had previously taken a full Arts course, and obtained degrees in some University. Appendix No. 0. ii. The Financial Statement ■hows a(fain a HliKht improvement upon that of the previoun year, nwinh' to a legacy of 92,0U0 from the eiitate of the late John Dryadale, of Ottawa, which Hiim han been addeil to the Endowment. The debt on the Building Fund remains aa last year ; but all the other fund^ show small balances on the right side. This haa been secured, however, only by the Htrictest economy and the most scrupulous care in management. The failure of any one of the preoent sources of income would at once cause considerable embarrassment. The Board continue to cherish the hope that by the liberality of the Church, the Endowment Fund may soon be so far increased as to i>rovide a more certain revenue, and afford an opportunity (,f extending the work of the institution. It will be obiierved that the xum of $915 has been carried forward on the special Exegetical Chair Fund. Tlii'* is a surplus only in appearance, aa it arises from the fact that some of the sub- scriptions extending over a period of five years have been paid in advance. It will thus be otT-set by a corresponding shrinkage in the succeeding years. In accordance with the authorization given by the laat General Assembly to the Board to pro- vide an additional lecturer, the Kev. L. H. Jordan, B.D., was ap)>ointed to give a course of lectures on Church (iovernment. It is recommended that this appointment be continued. All of which is respectfully submitted. I). MORRICE, Chairman.

'• APPENDIX NO. 10. REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS OF MORRIN COLLEGE, SESSION. 1887-88. The Guvernoref of Morrin College, in laying once more their annual report before the General ABsembly, thankfully acknowledge the good hand of Gcd lu the measure of success which has been vouchsafed to the institution under their charge during the pa^it session. The attendance of students was somewhat in excess of the previous session, and at no time ha>? the Governors had to report more earnest application and devotion to the work of the several classes, more substantial progress and better behaviour on the part of all the students than during session 1887-88. A spirit of devo- tion to God and loyalty to the College, and of union and co-operation amongst themselves, pervaded every class. The feehng amongst the Professors was that each student was doing his utmost to improve and avail himself of the privileges for that purpose which his classes furnished. The sessional examinations give evidence of much diligent application, careful preparation and very satis- factory progress. The number of students enrolled is twenty-eight, of whom no fewer than fifteen have the sacred work of the ministry in view. Six students completed their first year's course in Divinity. The Governors, while acknowledging with gratitude several small donations for carrying on|the work of the College and for bursaries to deserving students, feel that the time has come when an appeal must be made to the friends of learning throughout the Church for help to increase the staff of Professors, and si^ecially to establish Professorships in Mental and Moral Philosophy and Logic, and in Natural Science, to remunerate better the present officers, to promote the general efficiency of the Con<«ge, and to advance the cause of higher education in a locality where such an institution is much nt ied. Efforts are about to be put forth to raise an Endowment Eund of $150,000, and the Governors trust that in view of the services of Morrin College to the Church in the past— services which have cost the Church little or nothing, — further in consid jration that while larger kindred institutions throughout the Dominion were making great efforts to have their Colleges fully endowed, and Morrin College made no such appeal, nor claimed even a share of the fund for general College purposes— the General Assembly will cordially strengthen the efforts of the Govemors'and recommend Morrin College to the liberality of the Church. jjiVt) The Preparatory School in connection with the College, which was opened last year, has had an attendance of thirty students, and it is confidently expected that it will yet become an important feeder to the College. All of which is respectfully submitted. GEORGE WEIR, Registrar. MORRIN COLLEGE INCOME AND EXPENDITURE FEOM IsT JUNE, 1887, TO IST JUNE, 1888. INCOME.

The salubrity of the air, the beauty of the scenerj', and the vicinity of the i'liblio Park and the North West Arm, make the locality attractive ; and the rooms are coiivcnicnt and comfortable. The charge tor board — heating and lighting included — is two dollais per week — payable iiiontlily in advance. A special service lor students, on the second Sabbath of each month, at 3 o'clock, p. in., will Ik? conducted by the Professors in rotation. The boarding arrangen)ents are giving great satisfaction to the students. Mr. (iardncr, tiie steward, has botli the ability and the will to meet all the wants of the boarders. 1- 1 -, I-:.; Xi FINANCES.

On the whole, there has been very much to encourage the Board and the Church, during tke past year. Ptofesaors and students have enjoyed excellent health. The missionary meet- ings of the students have been fruitful in the rescdution to support a missionary of their own during the summer montiis. The tielu stdected this year is the coast of Labiatlor — than which no mo'enee. D. MacKay, James E. Munroe, F. Mitchell, W. Elkin, Alfred DriscoU, F. D. Hunt, W. C.

It is sufficient to call attention to the large number receiving instruction in this department, their ages or their attainments not being such as to justify their appearance at the preliminary examinations of the University. A. C. Manson, Geo. Lockhart and W. Wallace, students having the ministry in view, have attended certain prescribed classes, and passed examinations in the subjects taught in them. In the Arts Department Dr. Bryce taught as formerly the Honour and Pass Clas^ses in Natural Science, six students taking the Honor work. He also took the work in English of the Modern Language Course and that of the Previous Year, also the Pass Logic and the Euclid of the Previous and Preliminary years. Appendix No. 12. 111. Professor Hart again taught the Claisios aad the Frenoh both in the Honoar and ths Pass sabjects. Three students read with him this year in Honoar Classics. Twenty-oae students of the Previous year reoeived instruotion from him in Classics ani French. Mr. Baird, who was appointed Lecturer at the commencement of the Session, divided with Dr. King the teaching in Honour Philosophy and in the Honour German of the Modern Lingnage Course. Twelve students took the formar and four the latter. la addition Mr. Baird took the Latin and Qreek of the Preliminary year. The Ci>llege again continued to enjoy the services of Mr. A. M. Campbell, M.A., for many years the resident Tutor. In addition the services of Mr. Danoaa Campbell and one or two senior students were employed in supplementing the teaching of the Professors and Lecturer in the Junior Clasies. A class in Elocution was effisiently taught two days in the week by Mr. D. Q. S. Connery. Forty-four students connected with the college took part in the examinations of the Uuiver- sityof Manitoba in May, 1887 ('lubsequent to the date of last report). Nineteen gained Scholar- ships ranging in vali e from $100 to $r>0. Seven Medals were taken by the students of this Institution, including the two presented by the Governor-General. Ten were admitted to the degree of B.A. Sixty stulents are taking part in the similar examinations which are being conducted by the Uaiversity at the date of this Report. The Societies conuected with the College have baen in effioient operation throughout the Session, and have served important ends. The Missionary Society has shown unusual vigour, and as the result, sends several labourers into our needy field. The Senate would recognize the goodness of God in again preserving the health of the students throughout the Session. Much credit is due in this connection to the matron, Miss Liwson, whose attention to the comfort of the students in residence is unremitting. Winnipeg, May 10, 1888. JOHN M.

'V'T' ) (i.) APPEXDJX NO. IJ^. REPORT ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. In presenting to the AssemMy the Report of the Committee on Sabhuth Ohservance, your cnnvoiier woiilil, nt tlie ov.tset, record liis thanks to the conveners of the viiriouit Synodiciil Committees for their ixhidnihlo and Hnn;j;pstive leports. 'J liere is eviiU'ntly an increiised interest in tlie subject of Sahbatli Ohservanne througliout the Church. Considering liow intimately the sanctity of tlie Sibhath is rehited to the b' »t interi'sts of iiiiin and to the honour of <;od, an apitlietic attituile on tlie part of cliristians would indicate a low state of religious life. Many ri;^hteou i couls, vexed with tlie increasing jirofaiiatioMs of the sicred iliiy, are asking earnestly what can be dime to preserve to the coinmunitv the inestimable boon of well-kept Sabbaths, Comiilaints come in from all parts of the country that the ipiiet of the Lonl's ]>.iy is being in many ways invaded and the law of the land as well as the law of (Jod disregaided. 'J lii'se uoniphiints cover familiar ground : Sunday vi.-iting and pleasuring, -riding, —dririuii, — fi ■filing, — hunting, — military parades, — noisy procesliiied in its ohservance. A\'herpver jiostible, those guilty of desecrating the day or disieganling its ]iiivileges slioul.l be spoken to and admonished. A number of I'resbyteries have issued iiisti uctions to all ministeis within their bounds to )>rcncli upon this subject at lea^t once a year, and to reiiort their diligence to I'resbytery. (iood ivsiilts have already flowed from this action, and it would be well if it became customary and universal. Whatever other measures may be taken, legislative or otherwise, to secure the better observance of the Sabbath, all must depend for success upon the maintenance of sound public ojiiniim .>iid censcientious comiction with regard to the sanctity of the day. If the hearts of the people ho not Het to obey God in this matter, legal enactments will avail little. Let our ministeis sjx'ak out fiecniently and faithfully on this subject, and let the ]>eoplo of (Jod make it a subject of earnest piMyer, that Sabbath breakers may be restrained, and that they themsevles may make the Sabbath a iieliu'ht, and we need have no fear of broken or unprofitable Sabbaths. 'J. United and increased vigilance in guarding the Day is necessary. Much may bo hoped from ciinibined efforts on the part of all who love and honour the Day. Several of the Synodical reports urge the appointment of a standing committee in each I'resbytery t" Watch over the interests of Sabbath observance within its bounds. Such coiiiinittees are needed, iiiid in most of our I'resbyteries thsy will find ample scope f«M' all their wisdom and energy. In addition, however, to denominational Committees, there is need for associations of a wider fliiiiacter. either for executive purposes or to combine the influetice of all interested parties. Such, f'i'evample, is the St. John Society for promoting the due observance of the Lord's l)ay, formed in tlie city of St. John during the past year. Briefly stated the object of this society is " to employ iveiy available instrumentality to circulate information regarding the sanctity of the Lord's Day, to piifiirce existing laws and to secure, if necessary, additional logisUtion." In Halifax there is a "Lord s D.iy Obseivanoe Society," which has been in vigorous o|ieration for the past year and a half. The organization, known as " The Law and Order League,'' is reported as having done good service in Montreal, Niagara and elsewhere. u Appendix No. 14. It Ims been long felt lliat an association or nlliitnce embracing rpprrsentatives of all dcnotnina- tioiiH, «»s ni'ccssiiiy for t tf»ctive!y copitij; with the evil of Siihlmth dtsfciiition. 'I lit) Assoiiihiy lit its iiift'tiiig last year, iicoiuiui mlt'd tliat a coiivfiitioii of representatives of cci- operiitinu; Chiiichos ln'hehl at an early (into, if found piactic.ilple. In olieiiience to these instructions yo'ir (.'onvener set to work, and after considerable ncdotiatinn ■with lepresentatives of sister Chniclios succeeded in hiinj;inn about ar. intliiential nieetiiii,' c()Iii|misc'i| of repiesi'iitative men, lay and clerical. This nieetir.^; was held in the City Hall, Ottawa, on tln' evening of the 2llth or April. An Alliance was formed similar to the i>oniinion Alliance u|m>m Temiierance, to he known as an " Alliance for the protection and preseivation of the due ohservantc of the Lord's Day." Oihceis tor the year weie iip|>ointecl as follows: Hun. H. W. Allan, I'lmiilt,,! ; Viir /'rmidi iits, Hon. .lolin Macdonald, Toronto ; .Icdm Charlton, Ksij., 51. 1*. ; lion. \V. ,1, Miicdunahl (I!. ('.), Venerahle Archdeacon Lauder ; .S'l'cjr^KC//, Itev. W. JJ. Armstrong ; 'J'rniKiin r, lieo. Hay, ]"^s(| , .and iiti executive committee. It wa« a^-reed '" that the variotts religious hudit-s tio desired to ajipoint rove a huhvink against inntivations of the .'^alihalh tiay. It wilt he a jioint, at all events, wheie tlit^ Christian ]itiipli. of this land can focus •■lieir infliit-nce, and will serve as a channel tliiough which can he c irried on that *' intenleniiminatioual anil international co-operation," so nocessaiy to idtinmte success. The Alliance has issued a circular to the Directors of the various H. H. companies, calling tlnir attention to their duty in regard to the Lord's Day, to the wrong ami hardship of asking men to woi k on that day, tlieiihy depriving them of tliiir weekly I'lay of rest, preventing them lioni juining with their fellow Chtistians in the public worship of (iod, ami in a great measure shutting tliem out finiji that quiet intetcoursi,' with their families ntcesfary for the riglit ordering of their home lite anil oftni placing hetore the men the alternative, either to do violence to their coiisciences by working on the Lorti's Day, or give uji the situations on which they and their families tlepeii.i for bread. The circular asks from the directors inf.irination as to the extent of Sunday traffic on their roads, their views as to the effect of Suinlay liattic upon their men anil the general interests of their roads, and how far tliey would be willing to co operate with other lines in stopping .Sunday tratlic, altogetlier cxceptin clear cases of necessity. The Alliance also ajijjointed a Committee to consider the possibility of obtaining such legislation as will biing the emiiloyers of 1 ibour, whether individuals or corporations, within reach of the law with regard to the oliseivance of the Lord's Day. .'?. This brings us to notice another line of action necessaiy to secure the tlue observance of the Lorti's Day, viz., the seeking ot the best possil)le legislation on this subject. We have i>ii our Provincial Statute liooks a number of excellent Sabbath laws. In Ontario the Sabbath laws are esjiecially worthy of coninieiidation. In Nova Scotia legislation was sought two years ago to i>revent more effectively the profanation of the Lord's Day. The i)ro|iosed imiirovement in the law was defeated, on the plea that existin,' law was :uifticient. A test case of much interest was trietl in the courts ; anil e.xperience has slifwo that improvement in the law is essential to the objects aimed at by the friends of the .Sabbath. It is expected that the Legislature of Nova Scotia will be approached next winter for the legislation reijuired. There is, however, one great defect in the present law, that to which reference has been inada fbove. The employee can be reachetl and punished by law, but the employers of labour ait- not unienable. This woiks disastrously in the case of 1'. U. anil other corporations. .Some eiiactnieiit to bring these within reach of law is necessary. The Ontario law has a provision reaching It. I!, ami steamboat corporations in case of Sunday excursions. Is theie any reason why this provision could not be niatle universaiover the Dominion, and reach not merely .Sunday excursions, but all Sunday tialiicj'.' Many ii.ay not be aware of the difficulties besetting this ipiestion. There is a division ot opinion anioiig authorities, as to where the jurisdiction lies, some hohfing that it i)crtains to the Provincial Legislatuie, others that the Dominion Pailiament has a light to legislate in the niat*er. Accoriling to the views of the former, it seems that to he brought within the iirovinee of the Dominion legislature breaches of the Sabliath law must be considered as criminal offences. The Committee apjiointed by the Alliance to consider this whole matter, is composed, of Hon. O. ^X. Allan, Hon. .lohn Macdonald, John Charlton, ICsip, M. P., Geo. Jamieson, E.sii., M. P., ainl Prof. W'elilon. These gentlemen will, we have no do\ibt, gi\ _> mature consideration to this niattii, and on their re])ort action may be taken. It is evithnt that Dominion legislation is needed to cope with the problem as exhibited in our great inter-provincial lines of ]{. U. In the mtantime, jiuhlic oiiinion should he mouldetl in the ilirection of the legislation reijuired and the will of the people expressed by petition. That the frieiiils of the Sabbath will need to been the alert, is evident because of the gniwina; indifference of many and the oi)ea hostility of some. Some K. H, companies are apparently ilt-libeiiitr; anil systematic in their viidation of the Sabliath. The .Monti eal Poaril of 'I'rade tendered a vote ol thanks to certain H. H. companies that ran Sunday trains, by which their business gaiiis wcie increased. The Art Association of Montreal was ottered .SIO.OOO, on condition that its rooiii>. sliould be thrown ii|ien ou the Lord's Day. 'i'he bribe has hitherto been refuse! by that as.s')i'i:.tioii. The Fraser Institute, on the other hand, yielded to a similar inducement. .Such facts as these simply indicate to the Chuich the duty of the hour with regaril to the sacred day of rest.

APPENDIX NO. 16. th Observance, Slid Unersof Sjuodicd observance of the Ihe protection mvX lepresentatives the REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IN The Presbyterian (Tlinrcli has a traditional interest in the subject of popular education. It is to tlie statesmanlike sagacity of John Knox that the world owes that br)aRt of modern civilization— a cpninion school in every district. The I'resbyterian Cliurcli, in all its branches, has also been a unit in rej;ar;)ing the teaching of the histoiy, molality and esnential C'hristian princi])le8 of t'.. I'.ible ns an inte(?ral factor in piihlic school ethication, regarding the use of the Itible as a text book in the >elioo!s to be, in thu language of Dr. Kyerten, late .Superintendent of Education in Ontario, " TJje birthright of the I'rotestant child and the inalienable right of the Trotestant parent." Our own Church has. thiough her Synods and Asseniblies, from time to time, in emphatic temis testified her sense of the importance of the religions element in public education, and of giving the V.ible its rightful place in public schools. In lf>70, for exam))le, the Geneial Assembly declared itself deeply impressed with the importance of having the youth of this country imbued with the principles of Cliiistian morality, earnestly urged all the members of the Church in their several stations and lelations to ondeavour as far as practicable to have the Word of (!o(l read by the children in tlie liublic schools, and appointed a committee to watch legislation on the subject. In 1MS2 representatives of the Synods of Hamilton and Lonilon and of Toronto and Kingston, with representatives of four Synods of the Cliurcli of Kngland. and two Conferences of the iMetliodijst Cliurcli, 'vaited as a joint deputation on the Ontario lioveriiment with the view of securing that tiie ."^criiitures be read as a daily wxercise by the pupils in the public schools of the Province, and '" pressing rr tbe iinpieHHioii niitde on tli« \Viiiiii)>u); Asieinhly when it wan (tated tbat even tbe leailiDK uf tlitt Bible wan prubibited in tbe tubouls of tliut Province. PBINC'B EDWAhO ISLAND. The law in Prince Edward Inland iit a little mure NKiiiifActory. Tbe Rible may he rend witlmiit comment, where parent* denire it. Aa might be expected, the Cuminittee are iufarnied that " lu Tery few scliouls indeed is thii periniH»iou i:ii{ every teacher to open and close the daily exercises of the school by leailing h portion of ."scripture (out of the common jr I>ouay version, »s they may prefer), and by citlViiiij the Lord's prayer. Any other prayer tnay be used by permission of the Hoard of Trustees." It is further declared to he the duty of every teacher . . . "to strive diligently to bav« excni- pliticd in the iutercourso and conduct of the pupils throughout the school the principles of Clniittian morality," The law prohibits the use of any religious Catechism or interferonee with the religious true t» uf any pupil ; but does not expresdy forbid ccrninerit or explanation on the portion of Scripture ledd. The practice under this law, as stated by the Chief Superintendent, is that " In a large niiuiliei of schools tauglit by Protestant teachers th« privilege conferred by Keg. 21 is taken advantage of, ;inil Id many in.stances the pupila are drilled upon tbe {)ortion read, with a view of enforcing the faciit ur truths of tbu portions read." MANITOBA. " In Manitoba the schools are sub-divided, as in Quebec, into Protesthnt and Catholic sections, and each exercises a similar right in regard to religious instruction." (Ont. Minister's Kepurt.) The schools are required to be opened and closetl daily with prayer, and the reading of a portinn of the Scriptures. The law intimatcH that " The liible shall be used as a text book in the I'ro'Ptttunt •chools, A supply for each school may be obtained by the trustees; otherwise each pujiil truin Standard Three ujtwards shall be required to provide himself with a Bible in addition to his other text-books." An authorized list of selections is given, and roust be followed, but the teacher is at liberty to use in connection with these any other passages of .Scripture, " The .Scripture lesson in each school shall follow the opening prayer, and shall occupy nut more than 15 minutes daily. Until notes and questions are provided under the authority of the Board tlie leadings shal not tie accom)i'inied with comment or explanation." ''It nhall be the duty of the teaclier of each school to instinct his pu))i1s, from .Standard Three upwards, in the Ten Coinmaiidinents and the Apostles' Creed, so that they may be able to repeat lhc>tii from momory." 'J'he Committee are not aware that t)ie Board have provided "Notes and Cuestions" on the Sciiptiue readings, so that at present the Bible is road, and requited by law to bo read, without nute or c> inniAiit. It will be seen that in this province there is a decided advance in so far as Bible reading a\v\ prayer, with the learning of the Ten C'.>nimandmeiits and Apostles' Creed, are compulsory ; but Dieaiitiine it does n(»t appear that teachers or trustees have the option, ai in New Brunswick, of drilling the pupils iu tlie portions read. ONTARIO. In Ontario, which contains nearly half the jiopulation of Canada and two-thirds of the families of cur Chnich, educatitiiial affairs are not, as in the other Provinces, directed by a iion pilitnid Chief Superintendent, but by a member of the Government, holding the position of Minister "f EilMcatic 11. The portions of the statute bearing on religious instruction are clauses 7 ninl 8 Tlie foiinerof which is s.niply the usual coiifcieiu'e clause, while the latter runs: "Pupils sIikH 1'B allowed to receive such religious instruction as their parents or guardians desire, accordini: to any general rfgnlations provided for the organization, government and discipline of jiublic schools.'' The present Kegulations, defining the extent of privilege allowed under this statute (1), l!t'i|iiiie each >cliO(d to bo opened with prayer and closed with the reading of Scripture " without coiniiieiit or explanation," and prayer ; I'J) Peimit trustees to order the Ten Commandments to be lei'tMtpil by the inipils once a week ; (3) ri-rinit Ministers or their representatives to teach children of their own denomination nt an hour outside the regular school hours, which may be shortened for that day by the trustees. This last privilege was taken advantage of during the past year, according to the Blinistor'.s Report, in only four pkces, viz., hownianville, Newcastle, Port Perry and Lindsay. If '' were found generally practicable no doubt many of our self-denying and conscientious Miaistern would have availed themselves uf it.

This r«)(|uest lias nut yet iu atiy way been complied with. Another decided Iohs wan the insertion of a clauae in 1878 prohibiting " comment or ex|ilana- tiun," by tliC te;>cher, on the pasMHKea of scripture read. Tois makes the rr,vliii}{ of Scripture a mere forniiil matter which can have little elfoct in the way of insi ruction in Hible knowlfdne. Over against tdis the only g«in ban been the regulation making devotioiiAl cxerci'-es ohligiitory in eveiy school Hubjeof to the cdnsciencu clause. Tlie iiractical effect of this tias leen tliit whereas according to Mr. iMcwat in IhMl. one-seventh of the sciiools had no devotionitl exerci.ses, now all are supposed to have player, and n ailing of scripture without comment or explatiwtion. As IS well known to the As.senibly there is in Ontario a system of Separate Scliools, provided for by the Act of 1,h4I, which allows the estab ishnient of a school in any district by those " prot'es.sing a relig'ous faith dilfeient from that of the m:'ioiity of the iidiabitants." 'ibis obviously assiinies that in the schools religious instruction, according to the fa'tli of tlie majority, is to be given, which in Ontario is iiiniuestioiiably Protestant. That the Public >>clinols in this Province are Protestant is further contirmud by the prohibition of the establishment of Protest mt .Schools unle'is the teacher ia the I'ublic iSchoul is a iioman Catholic. This ought to simplify the pioblem iu Ontario, Having thus sketched the law and practice of the different Provinces in reference to religious instruction in the public schools, it may not beainiis tu indicate some of the sulutiunn of this <|uestion that h.ive been attempted els>wherc. 1. In the Australian colony of Victoria not only has the IJiVile been prohibited, but the names of God and Christ have been expunged from the class books, and history expelled fr'in the frue ciirricicliim, as it is conside ed impossible to tetkcli it without touching on religion. This is at the same time the natural logical outcome, ami the rediicllo (id abnuvdum of secularism in education. Other colonies are in a siniihir position, and a movement tu secure a remedy of this deplorable condition of things is beginning to gather force. '1. In the United States, so far as we c.a ascertain, " the Bible may be read, without comment, in the schools of Florida, (i-'orgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kausa.s, Massachusetts, Dakota, District of Columbia, Maryland, and iihode Island. No mention is made of P.ible reading, (nor is it I'urbidden) in the laws of Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South (,'aroliiia, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin. Tennesse, Ttixas, Utah, Washington or Wyoming. Provision is made for the teaching of neatness, honesty and morality," ill a number of Status. — (N. H. II. Dawson, t'omniissioner, U. S. Pureau of K 'iiciitioii). "Our Government." says .Mr. W. T. Harris, in a paper read before the great National Teachers' Convention, in Chicago, last year, "is careful to avoid legislation in regard to religious education. ^Vhile there will be a general agreement among intelligent people that religious ediiciition is more important 1 ban all others, yet the wiitten constitution of o'lr States do not permit religious educa- tion to betoiiie a matter of positive |iicHCiiption by the State. Hence the nation as a wlml", and the States iiiiiiviilually will not undertake anything in this most essential species of eiiiication. It is evident enough that the spirit of this compromise is continually penetrating the public education niuie and more, jiiodiicing a completely seculir education." '■ '1 here is," says the Chicago Advance, ipioteU in the vidume of proceedings of the Convention, atid »]i)iaiently not without a pui|iose, "There is a deepening conviction that more must be inade of the religious (lenient in our .\nierican educational system. Those w'io have been regul r in their attendance at these annual meetings of the Association, did not hesitate to say there was a maiked iniprovement perceptible in tlie religious tone of the jiapers and addresses, and in the teinpiT of the whole buly. A cajiital proof of this was the reception given to Dr. Strong's piq er on tin- (^hiistian t'ollege. He was cheeicd repeatedly, and in the debates which followed he was cheered over and over again." The tone of the jiaper referred to may be suiliciently gatherid from a simple ipiotation : " Kxeliide religion from education and you will leave no foundation on which to build a moral character." ,'{. Crossing t'lc AtHntic to the mother lands, we find religious instruction fre.'ly allowed on the piinciple of locul eption, subject to jiroper .safeguards in the case of those who object to Imve such knowledge imiiarted to their childien by the teacher. 'J'he State simply reipiirea a tloroiigh secular education, ami leaves tl.e religious department to the school boards toiutruduce or not a;^ they please at one or all of four stated tinies a day. The geiieial principle, as stated in parliament, is " that, ciibject to the piovisiuns of a tojincience clause, the matter of religious teaching is one which should be left to the )ieople their..selves, and that the statute should neither prescribe nor proscribe anything upon the subject." In England the School Act provides that no religious catechism or religious formularies which are distii.ctive of any religious denomination shall be taught in the school. I!ut in Scotland there is no such limitation. As the late Mr. Forster, the political head of education decbres : ' To exclude the Catechism from the .Scotch schools would be an extraordinary and tyrannical change, and one entirely contrary to the feeling of the Scotch jieiple." In addition to those provisions for religious instruction it muet be remembered that denomi- national dchools are allowed, which may obtain Govemnient grants to the amount of about $,'3 per pupil in average attendance, but have no share in compulsory local rates. !I It Appendix No. 15. v:^.

The report of the Synod of Montreal aud Ottawa says : " In carefully oonsilering the reports from the Presbyteries we Itave couvinoing evidence that there is very faithful work being done in our congregations with encouraging results." The report of the Synod of Himilton and Lomlon says : " The reports speak uniformly of good work done during the past year, of evident tokens of nreient ipiritual life, and of hopeful signs of future pro.he religious life in the family. (a) "Is Family Worship observed in every Household? Where it is not what is done to secuxe its being attended to? "Various answers are gi^en to this question. A simple 'No' serves many a Session, while others venture on, ' In the mujority we fear not.' Others more brave say, ' We cannot tell." Whore the pastoral duty has been faithfully attended to the answer is of another stamp. Brampton Session reports — ' The Moderator has made enquiries as to this matter in 96 families, and he finds that family worship has been observed with more or less regularity in 66 and not observed at all in 40 ' Too many of the Sessional reports are clearly and hopeful gneises at the state of things in the families of the congregation. Eingstuu says — ' With regard to family worship, though it is not easy to ascertain to what extent it is observed, there is much reason to fear that it is not a prevailing custom.' Lindsay reports in this assuring way : ' Family worship is obberved in a reverent, conscientious way every day, morning and evening, by at least one-half of the families under the charge of the Presbytery. By others of the remaining half it is objerved in some form occasionally, while, sad to relate, many of them neglect it altogether. ' To secure attendance on this duty, ' it is enforced from the pulpit and urged in private admonition, and also by the distribution of books on prayer.' ' (Toronto and Kingston.) " In a very few congregations it is said to be observed in all or nearly all the households, but while most of the Sessions do not know the exact numbers who observe it, all are satiHfied and declare it is not observed as it should be. This is matter of humiliaion and alarm." (Uam- ilton and London. "Family worship is very generally observed in thi.^ Presbytery." (Sidney.) "Generally observed." (Miramichi, Victoria and Richmond, and Pictou Presbyteries.) " There is con- siderable neglect of family worship." (Glengarry, Halifax.) " They have reason to believe that the vast majority of the families observe family worship." (Lanark and Benfrew.) " While it is hoped and believed that a large number of the families observe family worship, yet there is room to fear that a great number do not observe it." (Ottawa.) From these replies it will be seen that there is very great uncertainty in the minds of those who answer the queHtious as to this one. Should this be so ? la it not a part of pastoral work to enquire if there be a family altar or not ? Should not every minister know this? (b) How is the Sabbath observed ? Beverence for the Lord's Day lies at the root of a truly religious life. If it is desecrated, religion and holy things and ordinances are imperilled. This is herefore a question of far-reaching importance. What answer does it receive ? The Synod oi Hamilton and London report as follows : " The Sabbath is outwardly well observed by our people. This testimony is happily borne by all the Sessions with a few exceptions. The temp- tations in some districts are much greater than in others. Some deplore Sabbath viniting and driving, especially in districts populated by sects holding lax views of the sanctity of the Lord's Day A Hamilton Session reports " Sabbath desecration is deplorably on the increase." And another * ' that the men are to a great extent at their ordinary work, and the quiet of the day of rest destroyed by pleasure excursions and railway traffic." A Sarnia Session complains of the Appendix No. 18. itb the methoil of hioU this and kiD- i a£ford to ditipen^e yteries: Montreal, ten couspicuouxlv mbera.*' OttHwn, I report no prayer Phe answers arc in oi'gh ' well, ' very le of many others, I with the Sabbath ents as this : ' The Coronto Presbytery 8 high as one-third Q Sound one leaps and oall for devout reports is that the II who are not pre- FuUy three fourths Vallace Presbytery.) ibytery.

And luiet of the day of complains of the *' idleness and improvidence of those who bay, and of the godless greed of those who sell milk on the Lord's Day " ; while a London Session testified that " for the enjoyment of a quiet Sab- bath and a general refrainment from visible breach of it their neighbourhood will compare favourably with any part of the world." From the Maritime Provinces come these notes : " The Truro congregations complain of Sabbath desecration by the railway authorities, and of its demoralizing influence." "Sabbath desecration is alluded to by some of the Halifax City reports. Some of our people oonneot^d with the railway are required to work on Sabbath." From the report of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa we learn that the Presbytery of Lanark and Renfrew speaks " of the evils arising from railway trains on the Sabbath, from Sabbath visiting, and from camping out from Saturday evening till Monday morning." ' The Sabbath is fairly well observed, though numbers deplore the work demanded by railroad corporations and the influence of Romanism." The report of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston says : ' * The localities whence the answers come give a very decided colour to them. From the lumbering districts of the north we have this voice : ' The influence of Romanism has had a very bad efifect on the Protestant element in the matter of keeping the Sabbath, as well as in many other things.' (Barrie.) From the commercial centres in the south we hear, ' Sabbath greatly desecrated by the G.T.R. ; ' 'not very well if you look below the surface ; ' ' not a few are kept from church on Sabbath morning from having to work 40 late in shops on Saturday evening.' ' Except with railroad employes, who have to do a great deal of work on the Sabbath.' ( Toronto.) From the pleasant regions of thd East we learn that " there is a growing habit in some districts of paying friendly calls on the Sabbath, attributable, it is supposed, to the influence of the Society of Friends, once strong in the neighbourhood, and to the las views regarding the keeping of the Sabbath by certain sections of the Christian Church.' (Kingston.) ' Is sorely profaned by the community in pleasure-seeking and visiting.' (Lindsay.) ' Desecration by visiting.' (Peterborough.) Elsewhere it is * well observed in all our bounds.' (Orangeville.) 'Observed in a becoming manner.' (Saugeen.) < Generally well observed.' (Whitby)" (c) What use is made of the Shorter Catechism ? Some answers to this question are exceed- ingly satisfactory, and others somewhat surprising. Of the latter kind the report of the Synod of Hamilton and London may be taken as a specimen, " The Shorter Catechism and portions of Scripture are committed to memory in all our Rabbath schools, but not in all our homes." Wallace Presbytery even goes farther, and says: "The Shorter Catechism is taught in the Sabbath schools, but a general neglect of the study of it in the home." The report of Manitoba and North. West Territories Synod says : " There is not much teaching of the Shorter Catechism ; in some Sunday schools the teaching of the Catechism is ignored altogether." The Presbytery of Glengarry, " The Shorter Catechism is taught in all the Sabbath schools, but there is fear that it is neglected in many families." This is a very common testimony from every quarter. The Sabbath school seems very largely to have taken the place of the parents. Truro Pres- bytery are of opinion that it would be universally taught if the minister would insist upon it in his pastoral visitation. "The answers to this question are very gratifying. ' The Shorter Catechism is taught in all the Sab' - th schools, and in some of the homes.' (Peterborough, Orangeville, Whitby, Lindsay, ToronL 3arrie, Kingston.) In the other Presbyteries the answers are not so satisfactory. In Owen Sound one Session ' laments the obsolescence of the oldtime custom of family recitation of the Catechism. ' In Saugeen one Session says, ' not very much uxe made of Catechism.' From Guelph, ' there are comparatively few returns respecting the Catechism.* These may be taken as exceptional cases. This grand old system of truth is still honoured worthily by the Church. Strong men are fashioned by it." (Toronto and Kingston.) (d) Are pains taken to have the children memorize the Word of God ? This important matter seems to be left almost entirely in the hands of the noble band of Sunday school teachers, who are domg so much for our Church. Sidney Presbytery reports : '• It does not appear ijat the Word of God is memorized in he homes of our people to any extent." WalUce Presbytery laments "the neglect of the time-honoured and precious custom of repeating portions of Psalms and Paraf hrases every Sabbath evening. Thus many of the children are deprived of a treasure of Bible truth which many of oar fathers thanked God for on their dying beds." Miramichi Presbytery says : "Means are taken, with partial success, to induce the children to memorize the Word of God." Glengarry Presbytery, " The Word of God is not memorized as it ought to be." The Synod of Toronto and Kingston gives this summary : " Oae Presbytery answers, ' Yes, in the Sunday school.' (Peterborough. ) ' And in some homes,' adds Owen Sound, Saugeen. Lindsay, Barrie, Orangeville. * No special pains, however, seem to have been taken to hava the children memorize the Word of God. What are called Golden Texts .,eem to be the extent of Holy Scrip- ture committed to memory.' (Kingston, Whitby, Toronto.)" (e) What is done for those who by age or infirmity are shut outfrcm attendance on ordinances ? The report of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston embodies all the returns in a few words : " The answer of Toronto Presbytery types those of all the other Presbyteries : ' Systematic visitation by the pastor, and in some cases by the elders and members, is the means usually adopted. Some mention cottage prayer meetings held at such homes occasionally.' Anoher adds, ' The Lord's Supper is dispensed in addition to systematic visitation, on the ground that old age or infirmity is not a sufficient reason for debarring any believer from the privilege of commemorating the Lord's death.' " .-i vi. Appendix No. 18. (f) Docs the spirit of liberality frrow in view of the extension of missi,>n work at home and abroad ? The repiius to this question are full of enoonragement. GoDgregationa all over the land are eeeking to abound in this graoe also. Everywhere there is the aoknowledgment that while there is increase of liberality yet that it is not at all proportionate to the growth of wealth, nor yet to the extension of onr mission work. In the Synod of Hamilton and London " there are not a few Sessions who report ' no progress during the past year in this respect.' One distinctly says 'getting worse.'" Toronto and Kingston Synod report lays : "To this question many Sessions respond ■ No,' while the great majority answer ' Yes, bi . not in proportion.' One says, ' In some oases the growth is on the other side, especially where there is most wealth.' Another, * Not so fast as we would desire. ' In the broad outlook over the entire Synod there is observed a general movement in arlvanoe of anything reached in the past. However, in some quarters ' depression of trade ' and ' heavy demands for congregational purposes and poor harvests last year ' are mentioned as ' ^i-eventing uB giving much to the mission achemes.' " The Preflbytery of Halifax sends out this cheering note : " The spirit of liberality is better than ever before. Contributions come in increasing volume. The system of church finance has greatly improved. Giving to the Lord's cause is not left to the impulse of the moment. Depend- ence is placed on regular and frequent offerings." (g) Have you a missionary service, once a month, or once a quarter ? Or how do yon keep alive a missionary spirit ? "Various are the means adopted to keep alive a missionary spirit. Chief among them are * addresses once a month at the weekly prayer meeting,' ' Auxiliaries of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society,' 'Mission Bands,' 'missionary literature' giving ' missionary intelligence at the weekly prayer meeting.' These are so general throughout the Synod that such an admission as this from Peterborough Presbytery is quite unexpected : ' With three notable exceptions there does not appear to be any regular and continuous plan for the keeping alive of a missionary spirit in the congregations.' In Knox and St. James Square Churches, Toronto, at the monthly missionary prayer meeting a collection is taken up. As a result, in the latter case $120 were raised for missions during the past year. This plan is worthy of being adopted everywhere." (Toronto and Kingston.) This statement covers nearly all reports, save this, which comes from Hamilton and London : " There is no missionary spirit now to keep alive ; the Augmentation Scheme killed it." The fourth iinestion deals with evangelistic services. (a) Have any special services been held in your congregation during the past year ? In Toronto Presbytery seven Sessions report special services ; Lindsay, live Sessions; Saugeen, one Session ; Oweu Sound, one SSession ; Kingston, none; Orangeville, three Sessions ; i3arrie, two Ses- sions ; Guelph, every Session make mention of special service as a Presbyterial appointment ; Peter- borough, eight Sessions ; Whitby, eight Sessions, so that in all fifty-nine congregations have held special services during the past year in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston. In the Synod of Hamil- ton and London " in some Presbyteries none were held." One Presbytery reports " two congrega- tions. ' Another, " a few." Miramichi Presbytery reports, " In the majority of our congregations during the past year." Pictou, " Special services in one way or another have been a marked feature of the work during the past year." " There seems to be a marked concern respecting the uncon- verted that betokens a future of prosperity and blessing." Halifax : " Some of our congregations had special services during the year." In the Presbytery of Ottawa ten congregations held special services ; Renfrew and Lanark, three ; Montreal, " few "; St. Andrew s, Gushing and La Chute and Montreal are mentioned as having held them ; Truro, four ; Manitoba and North-West Territories Synod report two special services within the bounds of the Presbytery of Calgary, seve- ral in Brandon, and three in Winnipeg. (b) By ii'hom, and with what results ? In every congregation where special services have been held the best results have followed. Ood's professing people have been quickened and stirred up to a higher sense of their duty, and sinners have been brought to the Saviour. Ordinarily the work has been carried on by a neighbouring minister assisting, sometimes by the help of an evangelist. In Guelph Presbytery the brethren interchanged according to a plan adopted by the Presbytery. ElsewUere many ministers carried on special services alone Among the names mentioned as specially helpful are D. L. Moody, Donald Uoss, elder ; Dr. J. K. Smith, Gait ; Dr. D. MnTavish, Lindsay ; Mr. Meikle, Messrs. Mclntyre and Sinclair. The report from Kingston Presbytery makes these observations anent this question : "There is no desire to multiply public services, or to have any mertings that can be called special in a sense that through them, more probably than through ; .e cdinary services of the sanctuary, God the Holy Ghost may work in human hearts. There s( tms to prevail perfect confidence in the adequacy and adaptability of these services to all our p lople, when followed up by prudent and affectionate private personal appeals. For all this the ministers seem to consider themselves competent, and have imported no evangelistic assistance." (c) What has been done by your congregation for the unconverted during the past year ? Arc members encouraged in individual effort to save souls ? The report of the t ^d of Toronto and Kingston speaks for the whole Church: "One Session instances the fact oi 3mbers going ^o the house on Sabbath morning for the careless, and bringing them to Church.' Another, 'he ing district prayer meetings. ' Barrie affirms that all Sessions report that ' members are encour- aged in individual efforts to save souls, though in moot caseo it is found a most difficult matter to induce members to undertake a task of this ':ind.' Lindsay, ' Everywhere members are ArPEXDix No. 18. Vll enooaraged to reftcue others.' Saugeen, ' personal dealing, ' and they have been spoken to in their own houses and elsewhere as opportunity presented itself. In Owen Sound Presbytery one Session reports * a mission band specially organized for this work meets monthly, and the ladies hold a prayer meeting from house to bouse.' " The fifth question ha!< reference to the young. (a) What is done for the yonnir to bring tlwm to decision for Christ ? The young people are the hope of the Church, and a care for ibem is most necessary. If they be not 'vatched over they will speedily be beyond the power of those who would influence them for good. It is gladdening to find that in every part of the Church, ministers and elders. Sabbath school teachers and parents are engaged in seeking their good. One Session answers, " specially dealt with in Bible class and in private." Another, "In homes and in Sunday school Christ is ever kept before them." Another, " personal dealing by pastor, elders, and teachers in Sunday school." Several say, "nothing special." Another, ■' nothing ; " but these two last are exceptions to the general ran of answers, which express a concern about the young which is full of hope. The answer given by the Presbytery of Lindsay may fitly be taken as summing the p^^sneral response : " Special sermons are preached to the young from time to time. Sabbath school teachers, aided in some cases by parents and by pastors and by pious young people, deal personally with the youth to lead them to see and accept the truth as it is in Jesus." (b) What means are taken to fortify and strengthen young believers ? " la some congregations there are young people's prayer meetings. ' " Diligent study of the Scriptures, the careful reading of books that are aids to faith, and participation in Christian work." "We have had special meetings for this purpose, carried on for months after the close of evangelistic meetings. ' " A class specially for that purpose." " Encouraged to read, meditate on the Word of God, and feed upon Christ daily." (c) How do you introduce them to Christian ivork ? In various ways, among which are mentioned " tract distribution," " teadiing in Sunday school," " writing essays on literary and missionary topics." One Session remarks, " This is the difficult part of our work, to set young Christians to work. We always urge it in connection with home and compxnions, but do not always succeed in findini; definite Christian work for them to do, more immediately in connection with the Church." Another, " By showing them that Christian work is a choice privilege " A Presbyterial report sums up in this way: "Usually by encouraging and persuading them to engage in some line of Christian work, in the Sabbath school, or missionary association, or cottage prayer meeting, or young people's circle." (d) Have you any society specially for their benefit ? The majority report, ' a young people's prayer meeting," "a young people's society," "a meetinsr before service on Sabba*h morning," ■'Bible classes,' "Societies for Christian Endeavour, ' " Mission Bands." Quit.i a respectable mino-ity answer, "No." (e) Are they taught the Confession of Faith ? In answer to this question Hamilton and London Synod says: "The Confession of Faith is not taught as such." Halifax Presbytery reports, •' Very little is said about the study of the Confession of Faith. We do not know to what extent it is perused. We do not think that our young people will take to the study of it unless some special effort is made to induce them so to do." Toronto Presbytery answers : " It may startle the Presbytery to learn that sixteen Sessions say ' No,' only two say 'Yes,' while seven evade the answer altogether." Kingston says: " The Confession of Faith is not much used, and it is to be feared that the youth of the Church are growing up entirely unacquainted with it as the Confession of their Church." Peterborough is content with a simple *' No." Saugeen, "The Confessison of Faith is not taught." Lindsay, "The Confession of Faith is not systematically taught in any of the congregations at present." Barrie, "Three Sessions say 'Yes,' a few say ' No,' and the rest of the reports say nothing." Owen Sound: " Seven say 'No,' one, ' not as much as they ought.'" .Another, "Not as a Confes- sion, but as the backbone of all teaching." Four leave the question unanswered. (Toronto and Kingston.) Glengarry : " The Confession of Faith is not directly taught in any of our congregations." Montreal: " Only one congregation answers in the afiirmative." (f ) Have you a Band of Hope ? Temperance work among the young is carried on vigorously. While many Presbyteries report no Bands of Hope in connection with the congregations, yet the children belong to Union Bands of Hope in their village, or town, or locality. And many Sunday schools have a pledge card, which is employed with the same result. In Bariie Presbytery there are several Bands of Hope in connection with the congregations, and the same is true of Toronto, Guelph, Miramichi and Glengarry. The sixth question relates to hindrances to Christian work. What are the special hindrances to your work ? Foremost stands Drink. The report of the Synod of Manitoba and the North- Wes^: Territories says : " Drink is mentioned as a very great hindrance, and it is a sad commentary on the imperfection of our temperance legislation that the two Presbyteries that give this hindrance a particularly prominent place are those of Begina ant Calgary, within whose bounds the sale of liquor is absolutely prohibited." Next come " The desecration of the Sabbath on the G.P.B." (Manitoba ana the North-West Territories). " ' WorldlinesB and love of pleasure," ' low ideas of the Christian life,' ' weak convictions of i- n VUl.

That it be an instruction to SiitiHions to take greater pains to ascertain what proportion of families within their bounds observe family worship. 3. That inasmuch as it is evident that the memorizing of Scripture by the young in our homes and in our Sabbath schools is not as general as could be desired. Sessions be asked to bring the subject to the attention of parents, and superintendents and teachers. 4. That Presbyteiies be recommended to prepare a echeme of evangelistic services adapted to reach all congregations ; ministers, elders and members to assist in conducting them. 5. That Sessions be asked to consider whether more might not be done to inculcate tem- perance principles on -the young by a more general instituting of Bands of Hope, and the circu- lation of temperance pledges. 6. That special care be taken by ministers and Sessions to instruct the young people of the congregation in the Standards of the Chuioh. 7. That in connection with the sixth recommendation, in order to encourage our young people to study the Standards of the Church and the Word of Ood, a committee of three be appointed to issue examination papers on the Shorter Catechism and the Confession of Faith, and any portion of Scripture that may be selected ; each of which shall entitle the successful candidates to a diploma (card, lithographed, issued by authority of General Assembly, as in Scotland) signed by Moderator and examiners).

'These amendments have been submittvsd to a meeting of the contributors to the Fund, and also to the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, and approved by them, and are now submitted for the approval of the General Assembly, All which is respectfully submitted.

The Synod of the Maritime Provinces, at its last meeting, adopted Rule 10th, " A Minister who has not paid the annual rate into the Fund shall receive only one-half the amount to which he would have been otherwise entitled "—previously adopted by the Assembly for the Western Section, thus making the rules uniform for the whole Church.

REPORT OF THE AGED AND INFIRM MINISTERS' FUND (WESTERN SECTION). The Committee on the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fand (Western Section), begs to submit its Report for the year 1887-88, and in doing so wiehes to express the great regret felt by its mem- bers that, notwithstanding the special attention called to the Fund in various ways during the past, the Church as a whole has not rosponded in any adequate degree— indeed, the ppatky manifested woold indicate that the Church fails to realize the necessities of those brethren dependent upon the Fund. The Committee would venture the opinion that, since the Colleges have secured a fair measure of endowment, there is no fund claiming the attention of the Assembly and the liberality of the membership of the Church, more important than this one, making proTision as it does for those servants of the Lord who have borne the burden and beat of the day, and have become worn out in the ministry. Surely it is not intended by the great Head of the Cburcb that His aged servants shall not be provided for. If He intended to teach His disciples that the poor, who were to be always with them, were to be cared for, it must be, and that in a special manner, that they who have worked in the vineyard during the long and hot summer day shall be cared for during that short evening of life when they can no longer labour. The state of the Fund would not warrant the Committee ordering payment of the full annuities for the year, and so no annuitant has received, on account of the year Just closed, more than two hundred dollars. This will, no doubt, be a cause of real hardship to xmrny of the forty-three annuitants who have received leu than the rules provide for, and that tbey have a right to expect. Included with the list of payments will be found a column showing the amount atill due to each annuitant, and, while the Committee hopes that in response to a special appeal made some time ago to congregations which had not contributed, and to a further appeal to be made to some of the wealthi'^r ooni^regations to specially supplement their contributions by a further sum, it may yet be able to make full payment, it is earnestly pleaded that Ministers and Sessions will deal faithfully with the matter, and that this will be the last time in which it will be found necessary, owing to the depressed state of ' he Fund, for the Assembly's Committee to order less than ordinary full payments.

The total income available for the payment of annuities has increased $746.46, bat against that the payments show an increase of 91 390. 65. The rates from ministers have decreased $104.46, which is no doubt to be aocoanted for by the considerable number who connected themselves with the Fund in the preceding year and paid up arrears. Two of the annuitants whose namoa appear in the list, namely, Rev. George Lawrence and the Rev. J. W. Smith, have been called to their rest and reward. This leaves fifty-seven still on the Fund, calling for a total yearly payment of $11,714. The Committee deeply regret that no progress has been made in securing the Endowment of One hundred thousand dollars. A meeting of the Committee was called shortly after the last meeting of Assembly for the special purpose of giving definite shape to some effort, but a severe affliction which happened in the family of the Convener prevented action being taken till a period of the year when, in view of the depressed condition of business generally and the special efforts for College Endowment, it was deemed unwise to attempt more than to prepare the way for an effort at a time which would be m jre favourable. I^ has been thought wise to defer the attempt, at least in any goneral way, till September of the present year, when, if it should please the Heavenly Father to bless the country with a good harvest, as the College Endowments may be considered out of the way, there will be a fair prospect of success. The Committee feels that it may be necessary to employ the services of a regularly paid agent in securing the Endowment ; for while the Convener and the other members have put forth all possible effort, and will gladly continue to do so, there is a limit to the time which he or they can devote to it, and as the Church cannot afford to fail in this matter, it is recommended to the Assembly that power be given to the Committee to engage the services of a paid agent should it appear in the judgment of the Committee wise to do so. Ttie Convener has, at the request of the Committee, visited the Synods of Montreal and Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto, Hamilton and London, and pleaded the claims of the Fund. The very cordial manner ia which the Committee's representative was received, and the hearty expression of sympathy with the Fund, has been a source of encouragement and affords ground for tbe hope that the future success of the Fund is to some extent assured. In two of the Synods representatives were appointed in each Presbytery to specially advocate and care for the interests of the Fund. If the members will only follow with a hearty, active interest the resolutions unanimously passed approving the Fund and pledging support, the Committee will in futare be Beared much anxiety, and the annuitants suffering and anxiety. •'>g '"^ \ '- (i.) ■ ■' The Committee finds that many of the Ministers who have hitherto neglected to connect themselves with the Fand now wish to do so. The following have made formal application lo the Oommittee : Bevs. Hugh Lamont, of Marsden, Quebec ; J. D. Fergaaon, of Windsor Milk ; David Y. Ross, of Westport ; B. Pettigrew, of Glenmojrris; J. A. McDonald, of Brigden ; and MoQillivray, of London. Under the bnlief that it is desirable to have as many as possible of the Ministers connected with the Fand, the Oommittee recommend to the Assembly that leave be granted to these brethren to connect witii the Fund under the rules. Ttie Committee also reoommeuds that the Assembly shall grant it power to receive other Ministers wishing to connect up to the time of the next Assembly. Applications for leave to retire from the active duties of the ministry, and to be placed for benefit on the Fund, with relative papers, have been received from the following Ministers : Jas. B. Duncan, Neil MoDiarmid, George Brown, George Snell, Wm. Matheson, James Boyd, John Fraser, Joseph S. Eakin, and Alexander Smith. The papers in each case have been forwarded to the Assembly, with the finding of the Committee endorsed on the same. In the case of the Rev :> 3. Eakin, it appears he has not paid the rates, so that under Bute 10 he will only be entitled to half annuity. The case of the Rev. John Fraser requires special mention. It appears that he asked for leave to retire prior to the last Assembly, bat by some oversight his papers were not forwarded. As the case was one calling for special treatment, after viewing all the cir- cumstances, the Committee placed him temporarily on the Fund till the Assembly could deal with his case. It is recommended that he, with all the others, except the Rev. Alexander Smith, be granted leave to retire, and come on the Fund. In regard to Mr. Alox. Smith's application, the Committee finds the papers incomplete, and that the doctor's certificate sent in does not indicate such a measure of impaired health or infirmity as will warrant the Committee recom- mending that the request be granted. The papers are therefore transmitted to the Assembly without recommendation. The thanks of the Committee are ofifered to Mr. George Barron, of Elora, for a donation of 9500 to Capital Account, the interest to go to himself during bis lifetime, and afterwards to pass absolutely to the Fund. The fact that there are already 57 Annuitants on the list, calling for an annual payment of $11,714, and that the Committee finds it necessary to recommend to the Assembly the placiuf^of 7 more on the Fund (the Rev. John Fraser being alreadv counted on), whose annuities will call for a further annual payment of $1,442.14, or a total of $18,156 50, should render it unnec^sary for the Committee to make any further appeal to the Assembly to give that consideration to the Fund which will ensure its success. The Church cannot afford to neglect its Aged and Infirm Ministers, nor can it expect the Divine blessing if it does so. The Committee therefore trusts that the Assembly will take the necessary action to emphasize the importance of the Fund, and the uhiiwl'ite necef!sity for an active interest in its behalf on the part of the Ministry, and a more liberal offering from the Church at large. J. K. MAC ^ONALD, Convener. APPENDIX NO. 21 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROBATIONERS (WESTERN SECTION.) In presenting their Report for 1887-88, your Committee would respectfully call the attention of the Assembly to Appendix No. 1, which contains a list of the vacancies and settlements for the year, as furnished by the respective Presbyteries. It will be seen that sixty-four vacancies have been reported for full or partial supply, or, in snine instances, no supply was asked, and that thirty-three settlements hr.ve taken place— being more than fifty per cent. In addition to these, three Probationers were settled as ordained Missionaries, who, if reckoned with the others, would make the total number thirty-six. Some of the Presbyteries, such as Montreal and Glengarry, have not sent in any report to ynur Committee at any part of the year ; although all were enjoined to do so by the last General Assembly. Some others have reported for one or two of the quarters, but not for the rest. One or two have reported " no vacancies. " Appendix No. 24. n. By referring to Appendix No. 2, it will be seen that forty-six names were on the list of Pro. bationers ; some of them havinp^ been on since the commencement of the present scheme, namely, August, 1866. Of that number, as already stated, three have taken work as Ordained .Missionaries ; one in the Presbytery of Quebec, and one in Kinjjston, and one in Orangeville. Four have with- drawn—one on account of ill-health ; two have gone to fields of labour outside of the territory embraced by your Committee, and one because dissatisfied with the scheme. Nineteen names still remain on the list. Of those settled, nine at least were Licentiates, and had not been previously in charge ; the others had been, for longer or shorter periods, in congregations from which they had been loosed. Your Committee cannot but think that, on the whole, tliis is a satisfactory showing, and they are persuaded that they would have had a still more satisfactory one to present if the Pro- bationers had been allowed an opportunity of being heard in all the vacancies in the Presbyteries expected to co-operate with them in the adminiHtration of the scheme. In order to secure that co-operation on the part of all, the Committee referred the matter to the three Synods of the Western Section, and asked their counsel By the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa a Committee of three was appointed to confer with any similar Committee that migVit be appointed by either or both of the other Synods. A resolution was adopted in the Syno'l of Toronto and Kingston enjoining Presbyteries in the bounds to make themselves fully acquainted with the provisions of the scheme, and to be faithful in carrying them out. A similar resolution was adopted by the Synod of Hamilton and London, with an additional one requiring each of its Presbyteries to report to it at its meeting vacancies and settlements existing and occurring during the year, with other particulars. As the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa is the only one that appointed a Committee to confer with similar Committees, no action could be taken in the line contemplated, bat it has been agreed to meet with such members as may be present at this Assembly and ascertain their views. Your committee would recommend — 1. That the Committee on Distribution be not recjuired to accept applicants for service under direction, except from Presbyteries regularly reporting in full. 2. That they be authorized to drop from the roll of Probationers any whose name has been on it for two years. All of which is respectfully submitted, R. J. LAIDLAW, Convener. ROBT. TORRANCE, CUrk.

From the date of its introduction, which was by the order of Assembly, the working of this question was found unsatis- factory. It aimed at an object exceedingly ditticult, if not impossible, to attain. From the number of instances in which answers were not returned, the number of families reported as contributing to the support ot ordinances was far short of the actual number. After carefully considering' the matter it was thought best not to alter but to omit the qtiestion, liocmi was thereby made for the. introduction of another, whose insertion could not be delayed, namely, one relating to the number of. Woman's Foreign Missi(mary Societies organized and at work in congregations, for it is oiWy of such that cognizance can be taken. Of the existence of sucti for some time the Assembly has not been' ignorant. They have received its ofhcial sanction and encouragement. Reference was maeration. To make room for this the first question or column in the Financial Statement, "Stipend promised from all sources," was omit- ted, as the one of least imixirtance in view of simie of the others by which it was followed, and which had been most frequently left unanswered in the returns of former years. This new question was inserted after the one enquiring how much of the total payments to the Schemes of the - Church was raised by Sabbath schools and Bible classes. And in both instances it was understood, . and the very question suggested this, that these amounts would be reported in replies to preceding questions. Your Committee are pleased to state that, in almost all instances, the questions have - been properly understood and answered. In a few cases the amounts raised by each nave not been reported in the proper columns, that is, questions seventeen and eighteen have received inde|[>endent answers, although the sums stated should have appeared with the entries in preceding columns and been included in them, or, to be fuller and more specific, the entry in column eighteen should have - been included in column twelve, and that in seventeen in one or other or more than one, according to the facts, of those for recording the contributions to the Schemes of the Church, Wherever attention has been called to the cases referred to in the reports sent in, they are noticed in the published report of your Committee as now submitted. Let the hope be expressed that the total amount collected for Foreign Missions will, in future returns, appear in the earlier as well as in the later of. the two columns. Before proceeding your Committee would express their satisfaction with the effect of the injunction ot the Assembly to Presbyteries to see to it that the congregations in their bounds make their year close with the calendar year. On no former occasion have the reports come to the hands of the Convener in such good season as for the year ending with December last. It may be said that, on the whole, never have the returns been so full and numerous. There are only five congre- gations coming under the class of Delayed Returns. It is true indeed that some of the Presbyteries were very dilatory, while others, again, espt-cially those in the west, displayed an exemplary promp- titude. A few reports from congregations, too late for transmission in the return from Presbyteries, have been sent direct to the Convener, but were not received till after the sheets had been examined, the totals collected, and the calculations of averages made so that it will be evident that no use could be made of them, Mentioi. of these is made in a supplementary note. Congregations should under- stand that, in such a report as is expected from your Conmiittee, it is useless to send them materials for incorporation two months after the time specified on the slips sent out, and only about a month . before your meeting. i.

Oil • Presbytery, that of {.'a''{ary, has been added, on authority duly t'iven, to tiiose previously organized. Thfi nuinlier of pastoral charges reported, inclullin^' delayed returns, is 7S <, lioinpt S more than for the i)receding year. In niivking up this number it has been assumed, in tiio alisence of uny special report to (juestions that were sent out, and duiilieatid, that the numliers in Prince Ivhvaril .Island, as j,'iven on the sheet, viz., 30, :ire all i)a«toral cliar^es. In the .Synod of the Maritime I'rovinces there are IHt sucli charges, heinff (i more than in tli" rejiort foi the previous year ; but the Presljytery of ,St. .lolui, in reply to the ipiestion, " Number of pastoral charges in your Presbytery, at the date (rf your reiiort," gives " ;iU, including mission sta- tions " ; this, apparently, incu/povating the answer that shouM liave l)een given to the followin;; question, " Numtier of mission st.itioas." Last year the numlicsr of pastoral charges in that Preshy tery was returned as I'-i, anr there is the same number (.t would show that tliere are still 11, Last report Miramiohi gave 17, in this one it gives UJ, a difference of I, All the others in the TSynoil remain ♦.he same. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, the number of charges was given la*t year as l.')l, but as the Presbytery of Montreal has 40 repn'sented as the number included in it, instead of liS, tlu' t' tal should have been 14!l. In the same Synod in 18i/ there are 14 5, the Presbytery of Montreal giving M, a difference of 2 ; Lanark and Ile'ifrew 27 and 4 ordained missionaries, last year Ml. The others remain the same. If the congregations under ordained missionaries in Lanark and Renfrew were included in pastoral charges last report, the nu.ibor for both years are the same, so that the (jiily falling off in the Synod is in the case of Montreal. In the Synod of Toronto and Kingstoi., 207 pastoral charges were given in last report, and in this one 210 art given. Kingston reports 27, an increase of o ; Lindsay 14, an increase of 1 ; Toronto 38, an increase of 4 ; Oran),'eville 10, a decrease of 3 ; Barrie 20, an increase of 4 ; Owen Sound 10, an inc. '>ase of 1; 'lUelph 22, a decrease of 1. Peterborough 23; Whitby 13 ; and Saugeeii 12, remain the same. In the Synod of Hamilton and London, there are JOT pastoral ch.irges ; of which 37 are in the Presbytery of Hainilt( n, beip^r a decrease of 2 ; 28 in that of London, an increase of 1 ; 10 in tli.it of Stratford, a decrease of 1 ; 1^ in that of Cliathain, a decrease of 2 ; 22 in Maitland ; 20 in Paris : 10 in Harnia ; 13 in IJriice ; and l(i in JIui'tn, tlie numbers in these last being the same for l)otli years. Ill the Syno>' ot Manitoba and the Nortli "^est Territories, there are 48 pastoral charges ; 10 i.f tlirse in the Presbytery of Branclon, au increase of 4 ; 12 in Columbia, the same as last year ; 11 in Winnipeg, last year the number of hona tide charges vas giver, as o ; .5 in liock Lake, the iimnber being the same as last year ; 2 in llegina, last y(!ar 4 ; and 2 in Calgary, only recently formed as a Presbytery, one of these a self-supiiorting .nission congregation. Reports from all »astoral charges have been received in the Presbyteries of llalifa.v and Wallace 'Prince Edward Island, Lunenburg and Shelburne, Newfoundland and Miramichi, in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces ; in each of the Pre?V>yteries of Pictou and St. John, 2 do not report, and 1 in each of the Pi'^sbyteries of Truro, Sydney, and Victoria and llich>iiond. In the Syncnl of Montreal an 1 ()tt.Tva the Presbyteries of .Montreal and of Lanark and Ren- frew are the only ones which reiwrt in full ; in the Presbytery of Brockville, 2 do not report : and 1 in each of the T'resbyteries of (Quebec, Ottawa and Glengarry. Four Presbyteries, namely, Whitby, Lindsay. Saugeen and Guelph, in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston, report fully. In the return fnnn Toronto, it is stated that no settled charge has failed, which seems to imply that some vacant charges have. In each of the Presbyteries of King- stun, Orangeville and Barrie, 2 have not reported. In Owen Sound and Peterborough, 1 each. Four Presbyteries in the Synod of Hamilton and Loudcni have reported fully, namely, Hamil- ton, London, Stratford and Huron. Three charges in each of the Presbyteries of Paris, Chatham .aniSarnia, do not report ; 2 in Mainland, and 1 in Bruce. In the ."^ynod of Manitoba anf'. the North-West Territories, the Presbyteries of Winnipeg, Rock Lake, Regina and Calgary, send in full returns from the charges in their bounds. Three charges in Br.vndon Presbytery do nou report, and 2 in Columbia ; one of these lately received from the Chuixii ■of Scotland. According to the rejdies received to questions issued to Presbytery clerks, 38 charges, settled nr vacant, do not report. Were allowance made, as, perhaps, it ought to be, for delayed returns, a nl those more recently received, some of which have been sent immediately to the Convener of your committee, the number would be reduced to about 30, perhaps fewer. The number of mission stations, as collected in the same way, was 429 ; of which 82 were in the Presbytery of Barrie, 14 groups, or .54 stations in Bruce ; 10 fields, or 46 stati(ms in Calg.ary ; 11 groups in Rock Lake ; 4 groups, or stations in Orangeville : 25 in Regina ; 20 in Brandon ; 17 in *St. John ; 1-5 in Owen Sound and Winniiieg, each ; and so down, the only Presbyteries not reporting; 'any being Sydney, Wallace, Newfoundland, Whitby, Stratford and Columbia, Prince Edward Island not being heard from. The number of vacant charges has i)con reported as 91, against 91 last year. Of these, 23 are in the Synod of the Maritime I'rovinces, but mission fields are included in those in St. John ; 20 in the ■Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, each of the Presbyteries of Glengarry and Brockville containing •"> : .18 in the Synod of Toronto and Kinj,ston, G of these being in the Presbytery of Toronto ; 20 in the -Synod of Hamilton and liordon, 8 being in the Presbytery of Hamilton, C in that of London, and 4 AlM'ENDIX No. 20. 111. ill that nt C'hathiiMi ; uiul 4 in tiie .Syno 1 of M iiiitnlm ii d the North-WoHt Territorien, 1 of those in the I'reshytery of ^Vinni|le^Jf, I in Hnv»iil<'i!, anil 2 in <' hiuiMa. -'ji'In connection with this part of their report In^tt yi-ar, the ('onimitt<>e calloii attention to tlie nuinher of Prolutioners and the Held pre.-tented by ttiese vacunci".-! for the einpliyiaeiit Mnd exorcine of their gifts and attninnient.-i.

This would give the entire number as 'JOO as the number on Presbytery r(dls ; which is precisely the number estimated last year. During the year 40 ministers have uiids in the course of the year. The number of Students licensed wa.s 43, by l."i Presbyteries ; 7 of these by the Presbytery of Halifax and Montreal each ; t! by Kingston ; 4 l)y Toronto and Winnipeg each ; 2 by each of the I'resbyteries of Lindsay, Owen Sound, London, Chatham and Huron ; 1 each by Truro, Piotou, St. .Tohn, Lanark and llenfrew and Sarnia. Tliirtecn ministers were removed by death in the course of the year— having served their genera- ti(m by the will of God they fell asleep. In the Presbytery of Toronto 1 died who was in charge, and 2 who were retired. In Owen Sound, 1 who had retired. The other Presbyteri*"? reporting deaths are Sydney, .St. John, Glengarry. Brockville, Peterborough, CJuelph, I'aris, Lcmdon and Chatham. It may be stilted that the almost universal practice with congregations is to close their year with the calendar year, and the (juestions .sent out by your Committee were prepared on the assumption warranted by the returns last year that this was the case. St. .lohn reports, regariling the congre- gations in its bounds, ''mostly;" Quebec, " nearly all ; " Ottawa, "all but one ; " Lanark and Jlenfrew, '"almost all ; " Kingston, "professedly;" Saugeen, "a few do not;" Paris, "scarcely iiny for the Schemes ;" London, "some;" Chatham, "nearly;" Bruce, " about all ; " ilock Lake, "not all ;" and Brandon, "customs differ." To the question, " Has your Presbytery a Committee on .Statistics? " nearly all reply attirma- tively. One has a Finance Committee that takes charge of them. Three leave the duties to the Clerk. One reports a Committee, but that it does nothing. It would appear, then, that there has been an almost universal compliance with the injunction of the Assembly issued a few years ago, on the recommendation of the Committee at the time. It is to be hoped that the injuncti(m to congre- gations, through Presbyteries, to make their year coincide with the calendar year, will, in a very short perir)d, secure the same respect and comfdiance. No great change is necessary .'or this being done. T'le advantages would be great. *The total number of churches and stations supplied by ministers is 1831, being .58 more than the number given in last lejiort. Of these 4!(0 are in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, or one fewer than in the former year. Comparing the returns of the two years, considerable differences ju'esent themselves, to which it may be well to call attention, in order to show the changes in the arrangements of congregations and connected stations which are taking jilace. Last year the number of pastoral charges in that Synoil was reported as 178 ; for the year covered by this report they were 1S4. Last report gave the numljer of churches and stations supplied by their pastors in the I'resby- tf'ry of St. John as 109, this report gives Bti, a decrease of 23. The Presbytery of Halifax gives now "'.), and its previous report 80 ; decrease 1. Prince Edward Island gave formerly (iiS, in the last rep irt 77 ; an increase of 9. ?''ramichi reported formerly 43, latterly 4.5 ; an increase of 2. Sydney gives an increase of 2, the numuera in the respective reports being 3(i and 38. Truro gave in the one report 29, in its last .3() ; an increase of 7. Wallace gives an increase of 1, the numbers in the two reijorts being 34 and 35. Pictou, which gave 33 formerly, now gives 3.5 ; an increase of 2. The Presbyteries of Victoria and Kichmond, Lunenburg and Shelburne, and Newfoundland show no change, the numbers respectively being 22, 35 and 2. Thus two Presbyteries show a decrefvse of 24, .six Presbyteries an increase of 23, and three give the same numbers for the years 1880 and 1887. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa the bix Presbyteries report 254 churches and stations as supplied by pastors ; 1 more than in the previous report. Brockville Presbytery reports the same number, 30, for each year. Quebec shows a decrease of 1, the numbers being 28 and 27. Montreal, a decrease of 2, the numbers being 62 and 60. Ottawa, a decrease of 1, the former report giving .5.5 and the latter 54. Glengarry shows an increase of 2, the number in the last report being 30, and in * See p. 61 for aggro g ite of pastoral charges and mission stations. r' I IJ ■ 1' V ' M t^ \y. Appendix No. 26. the foreproiiig one 28. And Lanark and Renfrow, an increase of .1, the last report giving ft.i. Thus two I'reBbyterieH in that Hynod Hhow an inoceaHe of 5 ; three Pre»l)yterie(i a decreaHe of 4 ; and one Pretibytery Hhows no change. In the Synod of Toronto and Kingston .38.'{ churchcH and Htatinnn are reported m oupplied liy pastors, or an increaHe of 11 on the m.mbers given for 1886. In the Presbytery of KingHton there i» an increase of 4, those for the respective years being f)2 and 56. Toronto gives an increase of 2, the last report showing 68, the former one 06. Orangeville, an increase of 2, the number last reported l)eing 43, formerly 41. Barrie, an increase of 5, the respective numbers being ^8 and (hJ. (Jiitlph, a decrease of 2, the report for 18S6 giving :U and that for 18«7 giving 2U. The Presbyteries of Poterliorough, Whitby, Lindsay, Owen Sound and Saugeen show no change, the nunibors for each year being in the ord«jr of their arrangement, .S7, 20, 21, 2!> and 17. Thus in that Synod one I'rexby. tery reports a decrease of 2 ; four Presbyteries report an increase of 13 ; and four PreBbyteries tlie same numliers for each of the two years. In the Synod of Hamilton and London, tliere is a reported increase of 14. Of these 9 are in the Presbytery of Hamilton, the last number given being 08 ; in the Presbytery of London, the number being 47 ; 1 in each of the Presbyteries of Stratford, Huron, Bruce, and Sarnia, the num- bers being respectively 31, 27,31 and 35 ; iJhatham shows a decrease of five, last report giving 4 J, and this one 3!>. There is no change in the Presbj teries of Paris and Maitland, the number for the former being 26, and for the latter 30. Thus in that Synod 1 Presbytery gives a decrease of H ; 6 Prchbyteries an increase of l!t, and 2 no change. As "might be expected the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories has iindereoue the greatest chantfes. The I'resliytory of Winnipeg gives an increase of 1, the number in this report being 18, in tlie preceding one 17. That of lirandon shows an increase of 41, the number now being 111. That of Rock Lake gives a decrease of 2, the last reported number being 64 ; and that of Columbia a decrease of 7, the present number being 38. The new Presbytery of Calgary reports 49. Thus in that Synod 3 Presbyteries show a decrease of 29, 2 an increase of 42, total increase 13, to which add the 49 reported for Calgary, and there is a total increase of 02, the numbers for 18«6 being 303, and 30:) for 1887. It must not be concluded that reported decreases indicate that there is any positive loss to the Church. They may arise from different arrangements that have been made for supply of ordi- nances, from different relatione established, or from other causes. Your Committee should also renuirk that in Home instances in which settled congregations and vacancies have not sent in their reports, the column for entering the number of t'.iurches and sta- tions supplied by pastors is left blank, as if these changes had no existence. The Committee do tiie best they can to supply this omission, but in all cases they are not able to do so, especially if tliere are more churches or sta ions than one in which the minister officiates. In the last re])ort to > he General Assembly, it was stated that there was sitting accommodatid i provideil for 410,97.') persons. This report gives that accommodaticm as for 420,717, being an increase of l.'),742. Your Committee have not instituted a comparison of the returns of Presbyteries for the two years, so as to be able to specify the instances in which this increase has taken place, or to what extent it may be traced to fuller leturns. They may state that as regards each Synod there i» an increase in that of the Maritime Provinces of 3,872. the full rvumber being 123.022; in that of Montreal and Ottawa of 3,077 ; in that of Toronto and Kingston of .5,518 ; in that of Hamilton and London of 7,060, and in that of Manitoba and the North-West Territories of 4,4')0, giving, accord- ing to the addition of these, an increase of 23,977. But from this total there falls to be deducted the delayed returns for both years, amounting to 10,735, leaving the aggregate reported increase the same aa at first stated. Part of the increase must be ascribed to the erection of new church buildingn, or the enlargement of existing ones, for the column provided for the return of these items shows that both, especially the former, have been made during the year. Let your Ci>mmittee remark, however, that the numbers given do not show, by any means, the extent of accommodation provided for worshippers, for, unaccountable as it -may appear, not a few Sessions fail to give the sittings in the churches with which they are officially connected. It might be expected that every member of Session would inform himself im this point, that, at least, it would be known to the Moderator, or that, if^previous ignorance existed, inquiry would be made when an answer was required to the question sent* down. The numler of families reiwrted last year as being connected with congregations was 76,22C, this year 78, t '.9, an increase of 2,423. Of these families 20,820 are in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces; 12,798 in that of Montreal and Ottawa; 20,723 in that of Tonmto and Kingston; 19,147 in that of Hamilton and London ; and 4,8.o7 in that of Manitoba and the North-West Ter- ritories, to which are to be added 304 appearing in delayed returns, making up the sum already stated. The number of single persons not connected with families of congregations has been reported as 13,261, an increase of 2,564 on last year's report. Your Committee do not know to what extent the practice exists, but they believe that it does exist to some extent, of reckoning so rr ny single per- sons, three or five, as equal to a family, and reporting such as families connected with congregationH. They are of opinicm, however, that a distinct place should be given to those who have been called away from their homes and taken up their abode elsewhere in the pursuits of business, or for other reasons, that a kindly interest should be taken in them, and Inquiry made after them by ministers and ruling elders to whom they have right to look for such, and that even the higher courts of the Church may yet feel themselves called, if they are not called already, to adopt measures for the welfare of such person* , and not leave them to drift away upon the currents of temptation with which they may be beset, to the grief of parents and the injury of the Body of Christ. In the last report the increase in the number of communicants was stated to be nearly 9,000. Your Committee give it in this report as being 9,042, or an aggregate of, s.iy 18,000 for the two year?. In some Presbyteiies, as that of Sidney, and Victoria and Richmond, the number of familien is greater than the number of communicants. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces the largest number of communicants is in the Presbytery of Pictou, 5,491 ; second in this respect is the Pres- bytery of Halifax, 5,187 ; Prince Edward Island stands third, 4,747 ; St. John fourth, 4,133 ; Truro fifth, 3,087 ; Miramichi sixth, 2.703 ; Sydney seventh, 2,330 ; Wallace eighth, 2,015 ; Victoria and Appendix No. 20. ▼. ivlngM.

Of these, 1,989 are m f Presbytery of Brandon ; 1,9S3 in that of WinnipoK ; 7.')X in liejfina ; (il" in Uock Lake ; .535 in Ct .mbia ; and 307 in ('algary. The increase for the year has been l,t)73. To these niimbers <)05 have to be added. brou),'ht from delayed returns, and from the increases reported 2,129 recpiire to be deducted, the decrease on their returns for 1887 compared with 188(5; thus reducing' the aui^re^jate of the increase as given ft)r each Synod from 11,171 to 9,042, as showing the net increase for the ye.ar. Those admitted to the fellowship of the Church on the personal profession of their faith num- bered 12,471, as against 12,5(54 the previous year. In all the Synods there has been an increase, with the e.xception of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, in which there has ben the large ilTrease of 1,113, to be accounted for in all probability to some awakening by the outpouring of tha Holy Ohost which took place in the ruie year and has not been repeated the following one. It may be sai(i that this was to be expected if we are correct in our supposition as to t'\e cause— that this is only similar to what has been experienced or observed in other places after such seasons of special grace. But the fact, if fact it be, is suggestive of many thoughts and rpiestions not falling within the province of your Committee to propose or consider. Yet thev may bo permitted to ask, Is it not the great wjrk of the Church to make aggression upon the world and reclaim subjects from it to the kingilom of Jesus Christ ? Should not the ingathering of strangers to the family of Ood be the great object of nulpit ministrations and of the labours of both pastors and ruling elders ? Ought not these results to oe expected, as well as prayed for? And should any one interested in the prosperity of Ziim give God rest unless He is daily adding to the Church such as shall be saved? The real growth of the Church consists in the conversion of the ungodly and unregenerate. Those admitted on certificate numbered (5,130, but these cannot be reckoned as altogether gain, .as in most, if not in all instances, there has been a change made merely of their ecclesiastical connection. The number of persons removed during the year, either through discipline, change of locality, or death, was 9,917. There has been a decrease of persons baptized of 23. The number of infants to whom the ordinance was administered was 10,144, a decrease of 120 on that of the preceding year ; and of adults 1,148, being an increase of 97. There is an increase of 274 in the number of elders reported, the figures being 5,153. Other office-bearers of the Church, whether deacons or managers, are 8,310, an increase of 513. The number attending weekly prayer meetings was 40,193, givinjf the gratifying fact of an increase of 2,485, which, if not so great as that stated in last report, shows that God is, by the power of His grace, maintaining and spreading the desire among those who fear His name of speaking one to another, and of enjoying the benefit and blessedness of social religious intercourse. It might be interesting and suggestive of profitable reflections and remarks to compare the number of those attending such meetings in each Presbytery with the number of communicants on the rolls of Sessions, but time will not allow entering into the m and 8 ; and Guelph, 21 and 14, one of the former being a liadies' Aid, and one of the latter Union. The entire number for the Synod is thus 118 and 128. Both organizations exist in each of the Presbyteries in the Synod of Hamilton and London. In the Presbytery of Hamilton there are 26 Missionary Associations and 21 Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies. In the Presbytery of Paris 1.5 of the former and 16 of the latter, with 1 Home Mission .and 1 M. B. (?). The Presbytery of London reports 11 of the former and 18 of the latter ; Chatham, 7 and 9 ; Stratford, 14 and 19 ; Huron, 7 and 9 ; Alaitland, 10 and 17 ; Bruce, 13 and 5 ; and Sarnia, 14 and (J. These sum up to 117 Missionary Associations, 120 Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies, 1 Homo Missic;- and 1 M.B. (?). In the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories Brandon is the onl}' Presbytory which has Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies, and these exist in 7 congregations, while only 1 has a Missionary Association. Winnipeg has 5 associations ; Ilegina, 3 ; Calgary, 2 ; and Cohunbia 2. Rock Lake has neither. Altogether in that Synod there are 13 organizations of the one clas^^ and 7 of the other. Collecting and aggregating these figures, and including delayed returns, the Church has throughout her bounds, 34*' Missionary Associations, with 1 Ladies' Aid, and ;i9() Woman's Foreign Mission.ary Societies, giving a total of 746 organizations for j)rocuring contributions for the sprea'i of the Gospel on the wide and needy fields of our own Dominion, and in those distant regions, whn>o call " come over and help us" has elicited a response from our members and adherents. It must not be supposed, however, that the ingathering of their liberalitj' is confined to these channels. Many of our congregations and people contribute liberally without being applied to in either of these ways. To the question "Is m^iiseor rented house provided for minister," the returns give 483 mansse, 7 fewer than last year ; CO rented houses, 12 fewer than last year, 9 answer the (juestion "Yes,"' and 14 do not si,ate which. The total amoimts to. 566, and this is an incre.aae of 2 on the preceding year. In the course of the year .52 churches were built, and 1 repaired, 17 manses ; one answer is " Yes," not indicating whether church or manse. Your Committee have had reason to mention the same want of precision in replies to the last two questions, which are presented in such form in the schedules sent out as should secure definite returns. Even if Sessions are .lot accurate. Presbytery clerks, who must know what the proper answer is, .should make the necessary corrections. Only six Presbyteries in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces report mission stations, namely, Truro, Halifax, Pictou, Lunenburg and Shelburne, St. .John and Miramichi. All the Pi-esbyteries in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, with the exception of Lanark and Renfrew, report such stations. Whitby and Toronto are the only Presbyteries in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston, not reporting stations, at least separately, but the returns of these from Peterborough are exceedin5,'ly me.ngre, giving only tl i three entries, number of churches or stations, 15 ; number of families, '2'1'.\ and of communicants 62'i. In the Synod of Hamilton and London, the Pre-byteries of Hamiltnn, Stratford, Maitland, and Sarnia, either have no stations, or fail to report. Winnipeg is the only Presbytery in the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories reporting stations as such. Dealing with the returns sent in, the lai-gest mission field is in the Synod of Toronto and Kinifs- ton, the number of stations being 1.58, of which 82 are in the Presbytery of Barrie, 24 in Kingston, 15 in Owen Sound, and the same in Peterborough, 7 in (Orangeville, 6 in Guelph, 5 in .Saugeen, and 4 in Lindsay. The Synod of Hamilton and London comes next, with 67 stations, 54 of these in tlie Prtsbytery of Bruce, which thus stands next to Barrie, 7 in Chatham, 3 in Paris, 2 in London and 1 in Huron. The Synod of Monti-eal and Ottawa ranks third, with (55 stations, .32 in tjuebec, 13 in Ottawa, 10 in Montreal, 8 !-,i Brockville and 2 in Glengarry. In the Synod of the Maritime Pro- vinces there are 53 stations, 16 of these in the Presbytery of Halifax, 14 in Miramichi, 11 in St. John, 7 in Truro, 4 in Pictou and 1 in Lunenburg and Shelburne. As previously remarked, Winni- peg is the only Presbytery reporting stations in the Synod of Manitoba and the North-We-t "Territories. Summing up these figures, and adding other items, there are found to be .385 mission stations, as reported. In these there is sitting accommodation for 2,5,421 persons, which, added to those formerly given, make an aggregate for the Church of 4.52,138. The number of families connected with tliese st;i*-'')ns is 4,897, or an aggregate for the Church of 83, .546. Number of single ])ersons 406, ag;,'re- gi.ce 13,667. Number of communicants 0,555, aggregate 152,195. Added on profession 744, ag},'re- gate 13,215 ; on certificate 284, aggregate (!,414. Removed 31.3, aggregate 10,230. Nundjer of bap- tisms, infants 574, aggregate 10,718 ; adults 6.3, aggregate 1,211. Number of elders 272, iiggrei,'iite .5,425, and of other office be.arers 535, aggregate 8,845. Nundier attending weekly prayer meetinL,' 2,832, aggregate 49,025. In Sabbath school .and Bible class 4,914, aggregate 117,854. p]ngaged in Sabbath .School work 557, aggregate 13,.53.3. Volumes in Sabb.ath school .and congregational libraries 8,142, .aggregate 191,613. Number of Missionary Associations 19, aggregate .368, and if Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies (i, aggregate 402. Number of Manses 10, aggi-egate, includ- ing rented houses, .577. Churches and manses built during the year 14, aggregate 85, including one church re|)aired. It will be seen from these figures that, notwithstanding the amount of mission work accom- plished in the past, there remains a wide field to be cultivated, calling for the active energy, tiie pr.",yerful sympathy and the continued, and even increased, liberality of all that have the progress of our Zion at heart.

Proceeding now to the Financial Statements «ent in, your Committee have to state that $7:^8,086 have been reported as atipend receiverted. The stipend paid l)y congregation alone was !5i(i7!t,297, or S10,413 in excess of that promised, and •'S50,7o8 more than the amount paid according to the report of 1880, and giving an average of nearly •■"iStW to each of tlie nundier of charges reported. In the last report the arrears actually due on stipend aggregated the large sum of ■'?14,920, in this report they aggregate the larger sum of •'?1:'),880, an increase of .SfWO. There are only three Presby- teries throughout the Church in which arrears do not appear, namely, Wallace, Newfoundland and Lind.say. In some the amount is unaccountably large, as in Sydney, and Victoria and Uichmond, and although the former shows a decrease of •Sl*>2, yet tiie latter shows an increase of 8211. In the Presbytery of IJrandon there is a reported arrearage of >!2,474, but perhaps the larger part of this is to be accounted for by the grants from the Home MissiDn or Augmentation Fund not being payable at the date when the reports were made up. It is needless to specify each of the Presbyteries against which this undesirable entry stands, nor the varying amounts in the different (mes from the high figures just named to the small sum of -SIS in the Presbytery of Glengarry. Surely it w ould not have required any strain on liberality to have wiped this out by payment when the accounts for the year were closed and the reports of the congregations made out. Again, it would appear tliat the injunc- tion of the Assembly, repeated more than once, and so late as last year, does not receive that attention from Presbyteries to which it is entitled. The amount expended on church or manse during the year was s;j98,3.S0, an increase of 877,033. It may be of no great importance to keep distinct the sum laid out nn each of these, alth()\)gh the question is printed so as to suggest and secure this. Some congregations do observe the distinction in their report, indicating by C. or M. whether it was on church or manse that the expenditure was made, but most do not attend to this, and therefore the totals can be presented only indefinitely. Other strictly congregational purposes have called forth the liberality of the people to the extent of .S313,672, an increase on the previous year of 821,275. The expenditure for these two purposes has been 8712,002, an increase of •8yK,.308 (m the year 188(), testifying to the interest that is taken in what pertains to the comfort and internal management of the congregations.

This document was intended for general oiroalation ; and, after receiving approval at a subse- quent meeting of the Committee, it was printed, by the courtesy of the Record, in the March number of that periodical, and has thus had the benefit of its wide oiroalation.
