Amen. O Merciful God, AVho has made all men, and halest nothing that Thou hast made, nor would.st the death of a sinner, but rather that ho should l)e converted and live ; have mercy upon all .Tews, Turks, Inlldels aiul Heretics. and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy "Word, and so letch ihem home, blessed Lord, to Thy ilock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one Shepherd. Prosper, O Lord, the labours of those socie* ties of the Church in the land of our Fathers, which Thou hast deigned to use in tlie promotion of this object, and which have nourished ihi' Cliurch in the Colonies ; and bless in like manner with Thy Holy tSpirit and Providential succour, the Society, in whose cause we are now met, and the undertakings which we have now in hand. " Prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us ; prosper Thou our handy w^ork,'' for the sake, and through the merits of Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost one God, world without end. Amen. Our Father, wliieli ;;rt in heaven ; Hallowed be Thy name ; Thy kingdom come ; Thy will be done in earth, As it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our tresspasses, As wo ibrgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation ; But deliver us from evil ; For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen. II. Ti n. .]. .J. I'..

The Central Board, in prost'nting- their Fortieth Annual lieport of the proceinling's ol" the »Society, desire to express their 2,-ratitude to God tor His continued blessiuii-s durinir tlie past year. The income durini>' the year ibr the live lunds ol' the Society amounts to $(J,2G8.8G, composed only ol' voluntary subscriptions and donations, which tliouuh sii^yT.Go lessthan last year ; yet, wIkmi it is remembered that a considerable increase has been made in the amounts given to the Foreign and Domestic Mission Board, with larger and more regu- larly paid assessments to the Diocesan Board, and the addi- tion ol" the large amount ol' $8,000 subscribed for a Diocesan Missioner, a lliank ollering for the Reverend Canon Wil- berlbrce's faithl'ul and zealous ellbrt in conducting a ten days' mission in the City of Quel)ec, together with the fail- ure of live missions in making any return before closing the Society's accounts ; it must be acknowledged that the year's proceedings have been very satisfactory. Your Board, while thus thankfully announcing a grow- ing interest in the work of the Society, feel it nevertheless to be a duty to remind the members of the Cliurch through- out the Diocese tluit the amount contribuled is hardly ctmimensurate with the resources and al)ility of our Church people. Your Board also deem it a duty to point out that there are certain missions in the Diocese characterized unfortu- ■ Ih 1,1 I,- in ■ i n ■)■. 12 nately in the statirstic^til Uiblos l)y tho words iVo Financial Report.

During the recent tjession of the Provincial tSynod, it was ordered that Boards of Foreign and Domestic Missions be formed in each Diocese ; the Foreiu-n Board to have 15 cluir^e ol' all iiioiioys lor the S.

G. and Missionary \vork g-oiierally outsido our own Dominion, while the Do- mestic Mission IJoard would take charge of all the moneys ibr Algoma and ^.lissionary ohjeots in the Dominion, out- side the limits of our own Diocese. Two Boards were i'oi'ined for this Diocc.u}, but it ^va.s .^oon apparent tliat they could h.):st do the work assig-ned to them by acting' through one tSecvetary-Tieasurer. Captain Carter kiiully accepted the oflice. and through his /i'alous and well directed elibrls a large amount of monev has been received and transmitted to the S. P. Cr.. Algoma, Saskatchewan aiul Kupert's Land. The Mission Board by circulars and otlu^v letters has stirriMi up a vast amount of rnissio)iary zeal in very many oi our congregations, and it is gratifying- to noiice that our peo])le are beg'inning' to realize the great duty and privilege of being able to join in the glorious work of spr-'iling the Gospel of Christ beyond our own borders. Your Board, in uoiiciiig tlie amounts given during- the year as shewn in tlie re[)ort of the I'oreign and Domestic Mission Board, vi/: :— ^rl-U.-^'T for Domestic, and si308.28 Ibr ForeiiiJi Missions, is pleased in being able to announce that these iigures were inore;)>ed 1)y iii^i 07.-1 o for Foreign, tuid $150.40 for Domestic },Iissions, received from the Dis- trict of St. Francis too laic Ibr insertion in their report, makiiig a t(»i;;l of >;l-jGl.b;} ibr Domestic, and $415.71 for Foreign Missions.

This fact clearly shows that the actual revenue for the past year has all been employed and tliiit in addition ;i portion of the balance has also been used. No new ground has been taken up, iln' expenditure having been strictly coiilincd to the missions on tlie list at the close of 1880. i^'raiil 25 ' Ml It will tlius ])!' seen that your Board has; been unable lo realize the hope expressed in its last Report to the Church Socie^v and increase the nurabor of its Missions by dividing some ol the more unwieldy ones, such as Danville and Durham, or taking- up entirely new ground as in the case of Ascot Corner. YVestbury and Sandhill. The r('venue of the Diocesan Board is not a certain Ilxed araouiit lo be reckoned u[)on i'rom year to year, whilst the opening of new missions involves a long continuance oJ' kiabilitv : avA groat care must be taken that our responsibilities in the fiilure be not strained beyond our ixK^ans of moeling them. ll was w^iili very gre-it regret lliat your Board was obliged to abandon lor tlio thn*^ being at any rate, its in- tention of ailbrdina' the much needed reli<«f to the ^Missions above referred to: bul Ihc eoinparativelv large expenditure of tlu' past year (due to lUo JV^ot lliat all the missions with- out excerptions, were (Mijoyiii'i' ihe mijiistrations of u resident CUergyniaii) and tlie noliiioalion of a large reduc- tion in Ihe grant of tlie S. 1'. (1.. Inv fSs-J lit your Board no option in the matti^r. In the eat'ly ]"»art oi' I'.if piisl ysvir ilio lai;ours of your P)0ard were directed to the cjuestion of re-assessing the congregations, and with Ihis object in view a large amount of valuable information as io i]\(^ nuniijers and circum- staiices ol lite peo]>l(' in the various mi-sions v.'as collected, It was hop'^l at tlie lime tlial a moderate increase of about ten per cent, woukl eiuxble tlie Board to inert all its engagements ; but before delinite action in that sense could be taken, iho notiCication of a reduction of c€-100 sig., in the grant of the S. P. G., for J 882, was recL>ived by the Bishop and Ibi'ced upon us a reconsideration ol' the subji^ct. At the mooting of the Synod the whole question was fully and carefully dealt witli, and recommendations made to your .1%' !„.. \ I iff ;, hi ; r 'Id BoiU'd einljracing' a detailed list of a^^sossmonts to bo levied, as well ay iixing' the date, in the case of a lew Missions, at which they wer3 to Ijecom*^ srlf-supportiiiir. These recoimri ^udatioi!:s Iiavo — with .scavceiv anv liioJi- iication — ]»een adoi)ied; and although the full results of the work done cannot be ascertained for ar.other twelve; months, it is wifh great pleasure that your Board is able to announce sueii an incrense in the assessments, ns will en- able the Board — together with decreased expr'ndiuire — to meet its cuQ-iig-naents for the eiirrcni ye;ir. Your Board believes that this most aTatifvinij: result is due to increased appreciation of the ministrations supplied to the different congregations throuadiout the Diocese, and the growing conviction on the part of tlie ]>eople that it is their duty to boar as hu'ge a share of tlie burden as they can. That the fresh obligations entered ui)on by the various congregations will be faithftilly and ]ntnctu;'.lly fulillled there is strong rea:on to hop.\ Your Board can point with sali.-iactiou to the (>ver in- creasing regularity of payment on the part of the C'l-.ure]i- Wardens, and the sense of pride and honour uhich seems to inlitience them as representatives of their respective congregations. As your Society is aware the past year has been ex- ceptionally marked by larger contributions toward^-' Toreig-i and Domestic Missions on I he part of Members of the Church in the Diocese, than v^ere ever before colhicted for purposes outside the Diocese. The Church people of Que- bec also, having enjoyed the blessings of a Mission condtict- ed by the Kov. Canon Wilberforce, have readily contributed of their substance towards bringing similar religious inlluences to bear in the country districts of the Diocese, th^ '21 If we boar these Tacts in mind, the aid wliich your Board has Tt'ceived in the past year Ironi the Mission Fund — a slight iiicrease over the previous year — is matter I'cr congratula- tion, and discountenances the view held ])y some that the multiplication of ol)jects oi' hiMK^vol'-nr't' does iK^t increaf^e the aggregate amount given. In connection with the large iouu;'ti()n oi' the S. P. G. grant for the current year, your Board deen^s ii n(>cessary to draw the attention of the Ck-rgy and Congregations to the instructions of the Society, conveyed in t'l,' following resolution which tlr' L)ioc<\-au IJoard hn ■; h on ]«'(jue>t(;d to carry out : "That some of the Colonijd ivlis^ions which have for a long period receivi'd, and stiU receives support from the Society, should l>e re([uired to d'pend on local resources; and when a Mission of many ye.irs standing is still inade- quate to the support of a resident Clergynnm, it should be annexed to a neighbouring I^Iission and receive periodical visits from a neighbouring clergyman, in ado; ting iliis plan the dilUculty arises of lixing a term of yinus wliich, witiioui unfairness, shall be applicable lo vaiious ]\iissioi:s v.hose circumstances are not identical. Thirtrin yenr; ago the Society (Ivegulation 4(>.) laid down ni])e years n.s tiie time during which it might eontribuve towards the support of a Ciergynniv: in i Colonial Mission : and if this rule were to be strictly enforced, it woukl doubtless have the eilect of setting at liberty a consideval>le sum annually to meet the the new wants of the I^'oreiu'ii Cliurehes. It is therefore submitted, that the Colonial Bisliips in whose Diocese such Missions exist, should be reqtiested to relieve the Funds of the ^5ociety from Inrther clmrge in res[v'e': ol such Missions.'' In view of the fact tliat there are many Missions in th(^ Diocese which hav(> received the Society's aid for a very long period, it is well that the above resolation be brought under their notice. It may ])o that before long any aid the S. r. 0. may grant to this Diocese will be made depen- '■n ■■t'f. ft\i ■ I i |V«' 23 tierit oil a siiriet observauco of the directions in question. In on(? case the injunction oi' the Society has alren-ly been obeyed, and the old Misfiion of St. )nehain and Lake Bean- port Ixas bet^n nnii.ed to rh'^ n 'iii'hbo-aring' irii>^ii>in of Ya]- eartier. Your Hoard has ih-? s.siijfiiction of ;i;i;ioU;icing thai another old Mission, New Carh'sh^ and P.ispebiac, has become sell .sustainin.c' shice 3 1st Dec. last. It is not im- probable that within the ]ioxt three or four y'ars several other Missions will follow this proniimns paid on Ih" Insurances of their Churcii and Farsonage and do place one of these receii)ts in the hands of the ^^ecretary of the I'oard, and that the receipt oi;' no Mutual Insurance Company will be accepted except in the case of eng-ag'ements now ponding-."' Your Board rejrrets to be obliged to say that the above request has not been generally complied with. Receipts for premiums paid have been received from the folio wiUjj six Missions only, viz : — East Frampton, Bourg Louis, Shipton and Tingwiik, Sandy Beach, Porl- neuF, New Ireland. Your Board has, vrith great regn^t, to announce the re- signation of Mr. Iv A. Jones, who, for the past eight years, has .so faithfully, elfieiently a;id courteously dischargtid the office of TIonorarv-Treasurer. It is satisfactory to know that the Board will still continue to roceivo thy beneilt of his experience as one of its members. The following resolution was rinnnimon.^ly ndoptod by the Eocard at its last i.iceting: " That the Diocesan Board do plac;' on record I heir hiiih sense of the valual>le services rendered by Mr. Edwin Jones during- the years in which he has Jilled the ofTice of Honorary-Treasurer of the Board, and that they do tender to liim very hearty thanks on behalf of the Clergy and the Congret>;itio]is whose interests have been promoted by liis patient and increasing' labours.'' ]\Ir. AV. Cr. Pt'try has been appointed Treasurer of the Board During the past yerir the following^ appointments and changes have been made in the Diocese: — In the month of July, the liev. Yj. J. Ilarjier to the Mis- sion of St. John's, Melbourne, his predecessor in that Mis- sion, Kev. it. AV. Erown, having accepted the charge of the Mission at Labrador.

The Reports ol' the Clergy are hereunto ai)])ended and convey very I'uU and inlerestiiiL!' information as to the work of the Cluirc'h in all the Mis.sions aided by the Board. The prominent reflection which rises in the mind after reading these re2->orts is, that a great deal of work is being done, and thai on the whole, real progress is beinii" made, evidenced in m:aiy visible results.

In Windsor the church building debt and a mortgage on the church hind have lieen paid. The mission is free from de1)t, and the Diocesan Board assessments have no arrears. Coaiicook. — The chief sul)joct of material progress in this Missio]! during the year has betMi the enlargement of the Church, by which om^ hundred sittings have been added to the accommodation of the worshippers. The Church has also been newly shingled and painted, and a furnace has been placed in the basement, co.'^ting altogether $000. A pleasing feature in this report is a recognition of assis- tance in the public services by the aged, retirt'd missionary resident in Coaticook, the Rev. A. Balfour. A large class was presented to the Bishop for Conlirmation, all the mem- bers partakiiig of tlie Holy Commuiii<^n.

The incumbent's time may be said to l>e taken U[) by a continual preparation of candidati's for conlirmation, and is best described in his own words. He says "the dilliculty of properly i)ri'paring ])ersons vrlio cannot n^ad ; who can- not commit a line to memory, eldirly married people their time constantly occu))ied with domesiie and farm work, who possibly cannot get to Church once a month, can only be appreciated by thosi! engag(ul in tlie undertaking.

The additional assessment has been guaran- teed and paid i]i advance. A Parsonage house is well nigh completed, upon which ^1.100.00 haA'e been paid and a debt of $700.00 still remains. Two bjunday Schools have been maintained. A Ladies" Guild is in suecesslul opera- tion. $007.05 have I-een raised over the sum collected last year.

The erection of a Church at Spooner Pond, which promises to be the Church of the Mission, being the most central with the largest and most r.^ri'idar couu'regatioii. The increased assessment was cordially aeceeded to. The ]\Iission was thoroughly can- vassed by the Churcji "Wardens with tlie most satisfactory result, and the amount re(:[uired raised. The Incumbent, who is ;ibout leaving the Diocese of Quebec for Manitoba, records a senst; of his gratitude to the Diocesan 13oard for their spirit of brotherly love and consi- deration in all times of the prosperity and adversity of the Mission. The financial increase in the amount contributed is $128.8G.

Tlie members of the Missionary Union have Ijeen able, owing to the generous assistance of kind friends in the parish, to undertake the support of Hannah Grey, a little Indian girl, at the Wawanosh Home, Algoraa.

In ail. the number oi services, Sunday and WiN'k-ujy. rmounLed lo 2;j5. Of my work a\aong- tlie ^''r.Micli, threo bonds of respectable families have lately dissented from the Church of iiome. liUt with respect to this work, my ])osition is reallj' not a satisfactory one. Almost tin' v.']u>](> duty in this department has to be done on week d:;ys. On Sundays the three p]nu'lish conG:re2'ations hnve to l-o sc]'\- -d, yiid this, too, with a drive of twenty-live miles. It is tine when a few of the French mi^mbers are present in Church, several of the Collects and one of the lessons are rendered in French, and after the con2'r(\g'a,tion is dismissed, a short discourse in French delivered to those remaining- behind; but even in this, great circumspect io7) has to ])e. u.-ed lest too much of the service be rendered in the Frojich toijgiK^ as the lilng'lish iiortion of the conirregaMon ai'e jealous of their rights, ami on occasion do not Ihil lo express tlvir dissatisfaction. The French are v/ell awar ■ of tiiis, and it makes 1;liem feel somewhat like intruders. On this account it is seldom they attimd, except when purposing' to partake of the Holy Communion. Now, it si.HMns to me a radical cure oug'lit to be ell'ected soon, or else, (^en lier >, :is it has happened in many places (with sorrow I say it) Gnd may l)e willini^ to remove the Church's opportunity, thronLi'li our neglect, and allow that g'lorious cle])artuu}nt of the Church's work to be done by luunan organizations, though it be accomplished in an interior manner. The remedy to be applied is this: AVhenever there is an o])ening' avadable lor thi. work, an assistant should be provided to the incumbent, and either one or other of the two to under- S9 stand the Froucli language thoroughly, so that the French members may at least have, once a iSunday, the entire service in their own tongue. To pay the salaries of these assistants, a i'und should be created in the Church Society, the interest ol' whicli could be ap[)lied Ibr that special purpose. Surely some ol' those noble churchmen in the Diocese who have done so much ibr the prosperity of our Church, will be willing to make an eflbrt and take this matter in hand in time, sind so ward olf what the good shejiherd may Im^ obliged in the end to allege as a rejn'oach to this pan of Jlis vineyard : ibr the Church in this Pro- vince, in my opinion, is placed under God in very peculiar circumstances, as it is her duty to care for those members of a dill'erent language who have left the pale of the Ro- man Church, fully convinced that she " has erred, not only in her living and mannm- of ceremonies, but also in matters of faith." This summer, one side of the roof on our Church had to bo rt\shingled, and both sides were p:unted with lire proof. The windows also AVcre all painti'd in wiiite, which has addi'd much to the eleganct' of our little Church.

Albert Stevens reports: — The servici^s al all tlu^ stations have lieen more largely attended this year than formerly and a greatm- uniibrmity in obs(n*ving the rul)rics wiih regard to kneeling and res- ponding has been noticeal)le. At iJixville our "unhai)py divisions" work against us and in fact ay^ainst all reli;j,'ious fe(dinu'.

At C>tanhope my predictions of a year ago have bef-n more than fuUilled. The Congregations liave been larger and more reguhu' th;in ever beibre. A Jiouvishing Sunday School was held during the sunnner. its success was in a great measure due to the perseverance of the iSiiperinten- dent, Mr. Geo. Marston, To our great regret he has lately moved with his family to IJoston. The worlc at Hereford is yet discouragin'j. but on the whole tin; atlcndance has })een more regadar tlian last year. Perryboro' still continues to be ilic briglil 'st spot i)i tlie whele mission. Ther*^ is a reveronci^ and a warmtli of iceling here which I would like to s 'c i'ufa.^ed into all o'lr congreiiations. In the early part of the .sunnner I opened a new station at the Neill school house, situatinl between Dixville anil Perryboro'. A Suiulay iS<'hool was ovn-anized with tlie names of forty scholars on thi3 roll. The 8ervi<'es, thouLih held late in the evening as 1 am on niy Avay home I'roni Jlereford, have boon well attentled. r>e>ides the .Sunday services, 1 have a Litany serviee with sliort h-cture during the wool:. On the whole I cou'-ider t!ie work in the Mission to be encouraging. AVith the excepiion of Dixville, tliere are now no religious services at any of the stations but tiiose of the Church of England. The greatest dilhculties to he met with are the indilference of the ])eople to all religion, the perversity of the human heart, and tlie wiles of Sa,ian. These are foes truly lbrmidai)le, but they )aust give \\;;y before the gentle iniluences of the Holy Sjnrit. Being lately appointed to the Mission of Ilatley, I cannot leave without feelings of sorrow. During nearly si'Ven years of residence here, 1 have met with nothing i)ui kindness from all, of whatever age, sex or creed.

The Bishop visited this station in June, and confirmed iilteen persons, four of whom were from Windsor. The num1)er was small, but not so the importance. It was extremely grati- fying to know that several of the candidater were from eommuniti(?s that in the past wandered from Mother Church. Thank Grod, this litl;le has been done torejiair the In-each made in the brotherhood by Satan. The number on cur communicant list is thirty-one. Had it not been for removals and relapses, we might have reported forty-two. When we remember tliat four years ago there were only eight communicants, it will be seen that progress has been made. I wish 1 could report that all on my list -^x^ frcquaU 43 commuiiicaiils. The iiiiVoquency is in some instances due, no doubt, to early and v/rong' impressions. Let us hope that ere long' the duty and great advantage of communicat- ing as often as opjiortunity oilers will be recognised. We may also express a hope that those who come to the Holy Table will give greater and greater diligeni-e in their ellbrt after lioliness. Windsor. — Here, to th(! usual ol^scrver, the work is not making much advaiief ; but the leaven is quietly oi)erat- iiig. Av"e have been going on unostentatiously, with no siir ol" socials, toa-met'timi's, or concerts. We found, four vears ago, the Church building account not fully paid, and a mortgage on the Church la)ul. There is now no debt anywhere in i\\i\ Misvion, We havt' recently built a new Ibuudation under ihe Church, with a balance in hand after payiuQ- the cost. The siructure sadly wants painting; this would have ])iM'n dom' this fall, had it not been for circum- stances over which 1 had no control. I must confess that my spirit has oflen been w'eiglied down by the indillerence ol many, and the inconsisti^it lives of others. Uut the Lord's work is n'oing on, and t.v'// go on, and herein do we rejoice. 1 r»H'ord the addiiioii of Jive new communicants to the list, on which there are now twenty-six names.

Goie Lystor reports : — With the exception of a welcome visit IVom our 13isho[) in Atignist, when twenty-live youn2^ persons were coniiruied here and live at Perce, little worth noticing has occurred in the Mission since my last report. The Bishop was kind enough to express his approbation of the hand.some appearance of the interior of our new Church, the walls and roof being ceiled with spruce and lir, stained and varnished, and shewing the grain of tlie Avood to great advantage. Within the vear, five members of the Congreii-ation have been removed by death. Among these was our loved and respected teacher, Emma Beck, who Irlt us on the lirst day of the year. She had been ill for some time, and haoth of which I teach a ]]ible class. The coiigregation of St. Stephen's is much largtu' since the enlargement. There is also a small increase in the attendance at Christ Church, though the congregation there is very small. The Bishop of the Diocese held a confirmation in St. Stephen's Church in ^June last, wdien a large class was 47 piTsented for the Apostolic rite ; all the mombcr.s of this class then partook of the Holy Communion, for which thoy -were carefully prepared. rarochial visitinii- has been kept up as nrsual. Owing' to the ^vithdrawal of the grants from the Church Society, and the Colonial and Continental Church Society, 1 rcL'-ret to say we found it impos.si})le to carry on our Church school beyond the end of June last. It was iiccording-ly closed on that day, havimydone a blessed work during' the past iift«en years, for which I shall never cease U) be most thankful. The Ucet-root sui^'ar factory is now in successful operation. A few^ of th(^ employees arii mem})ers of the Church, and are diliiz'cntly looked alter by me; Mr. Lome and his son, and three of the ollicers of the company, though not members of the Church, have rented a pew and attend the services occasionally. On the whole, on taking' a careful retrospect of the work done during the current year, I have every reason to thank God and to take courage.

Augustine's Church, Danville, during the past year, without a break. The at- tendance, on the whole, is good, considering the distances which most of my people have to travel, there not being more than half-a-dozen Church families residing in the village of Danville. or e •'I til m 48 A g'ood deal of my time is taken up in coiifinnatio)! vi- sitinu". As soon as one confivination is over, I be^in to cast round for candidates towards aiio-hor. Pickiiiij;- up and l>rei)aring' them is almost a twelve months' work, for it must be remembered that, owinii; to the distances they live from each other, and from the Churcli, the candidates have to be visited personally at their own housos. I intended to have had a conilrmation before the expiration of this year (1881), but some of my most distant raa<]idates are not yet suiiiciently prepared, lis a mailer I do not like to iiurry throuii'h. The dilheuHy ol' pi'oi)erly prepariiiu' per- sons who cannot read, cannot comaiit a line to memory, who may be elderly-married p'>>opl(\ their time eojistanlly occupied with domestic and farm work, who possibly can- not get to Church once a month, can only be approrialed by those enrrag'ed in the undertakin'i'.

The population, to a certain extent, is very Iloat- iii.'j". There is a. good deal of u'oing backwards and for- wards, to and from t]ie States; the young men gravitate towards Vermont, where they iind remunerative employ- ment in the Kiy Conp.n- Miib-s. Even heads of families have been attracted there, working steadily, saving money and then rt'luviiing after a period, with funds .suiUcient to l)ay oJf debts on the land, and build a new house, etc., etc. The farming population seem to ])e doing well all roiind. They get good prices, ///. ras//, for most articles. The old lashioiu:'d style of doing business, l)artering produce for store goods, seems on the \\ aiie. Lornc. — This Mission is expected to be opened very shortly. The iiial)ility of the Church Society to extend its grant of one hundn^d dollars, brought matters to an abru])t check. At the prestuit writing, we require prayer desk, imljut, altar table and rails, service books, a font, painting within and without. Thanks are due to Mrs. Williams, for two frontlets or hangings, .suit.ible ibr desk and pulpit, also for an altar cloth, all V(M'y handsome; to the Kev. Charles Hamilton, for a complete sett of altar linen ; to the ladies of St. Mat- thew's guild, for a surplice ; to a lady friend, for a fine m 4 ^0 handsome bible. The Lome people hare promised to put up a commodious shed as soon as there is suflicient snow in the woods to cut and haul the lumber. Should 1 be spared to write a report for the year 1882, I trust to be able to say something- interesting and satisfac- tory anent this new Mission. On this occasion, I may sim- X^ly state that it has to be built up from the v^ery founda- tions. To this important M'ork, full justice cannot be ren- dered by the Incumbent, who has already on his hands the pastoral charge of the two large Missions of Shipton aad Troutbrook. The necessity of dividing this Missio:;. grows more pressing each year. According to the registers, there have been 2 marriages, 20 baptisms and 19 burials. I conclude by appending the financial statement. Shtpfon. Troutbrook. Church Finishing Fund 81325 00 Diocosan Board..

The ]tev. T. S. Chapman reports: — My three services, with the exception of two Sundavs it of illness, have been cont ith ruli on account throughout the year. Until October, St. Paul's, Marbletoii. had morning and evening services, and the Good Shepherd an afternoon one — since which time, at the Dishop's request, I have given a service every Sunday to tht^ congregation of St. Thomas, \Vestl)ury, alternating between afternoon and evening with the Church of the Good Shepherd. As age is creeping on, and my life lias been one of exhaustive labor, and my general health a good deal impaired, I hope to be relieved as soon as may he, of the long and late drives caused by the addition of Wi'stbury, which is no part of my Mission proper. 1 trust that before long this congregation, with Ascot Corncn* and Sandhill, will 1)0 erected into an independent Mission, needing as they do, more pastoral oversight tlian they can well receive either from Bishop's College or from here. Church attendance has, upou the whole, been encourag- ing. My three Sunday Schools have suHered from my attention having been taken up so much with other work. The Church Model School is working well under Miss Brown, a lady of considerable exjierience in school and parish work, aiul a graduate of the Normal School. The attendance during the winter jiromises lo be a large average. "We have two practical diliicullies lo contend with in keeping u^) numbers and a good standard of work : One is the smallne.ss ol the i)opulation within school-going distance, and that diluted by a French ehnnent ; the other, 63 eiit led to the cost to our larming- population of paying a pupils' board away from home — what very lew are able to do. A cheaply constructed boarding- house, where pupils could bring their bedding and board and live under the super- intendence of the master or mistress (costing but a trifle more than when under the parental rool) is the only solution of the educational problem that I can see ; otherwise, according to the plan of the Protestant Board, there can only be the survival, I would not say of the fittest, but only of those institutions where })oth population and wealth abound, and the country generally will have to put up with the wretched and ill paid elementary schools of the Province. We had two Xmas trees, upon which the incumbent and his family were remembered by various parishioners in useful articles to the amount of $40. Another tree has yet to be set up in another part of the Mission, which I hope will be very fruitful also. "We are a trifle behind in the assessment of the year 1881, ])ut will shortly catch up. The assessment of 188i looks formidable, and will hardly prove benelicial, even if it can be collected, which 1 think is doubtful in this, and many other cases ; however, here as elsewhere, history will make itself.

Harding reports :— The usual services in our three Cliurches, with celebra- tions of Holy Communion, were continued, during the pasij year, in 1 lie same inder aiul regularity as set forth in my Inst report. I cannot say that there has been any improve- ment in the average attendance ; though 1 am not obliged to record a falling oil'. Some extra services, on week nights, were held, last winter, at a school house near Lisgar Station, which may easily be reached, and at which a good coiigicg-ation, large- ly composed of lumbermen, may be got together at that season. I am thankful to say that ihis elibrt met Avith exc(^llent success, the school house being crowded on evory occasion; and during the summer, as a result, I think, of the winter's work, a Sunday School was started by a church familjT^ living near the station. This was kojit up for some time, and though now for a while dropped, I am in hopes it may become a permanent thing. AVeok-night services w^ere also held in all the Churches during l^ont, but nothing special requires to be noticed concerning tliem. With regard to temporalities, there is much that is encouraging to record. In South Durham, an old debt. which has been hanging over us for some years, and which, last year, was reduced to $06, was this year completely removed. In addition to this, some repairs v\'ere put upon the Churcli. The chimneys, which were breaking away at the to]"), and had always caused us a good deal of trouble by not drawing properly, were piiUed down, and r('])uilt from the ground in such a way as will probal)ly preveni their causing any further inconveniencr. A ])nrl also of the brick casing of the end wail, and one of tlic bulnicnls, which threatened to Jail from a delect in the foundation, were rebuilt and made secure. In all, thf cost will be something over $100, but as something still nnnains to be done in the spring, and the amount nec(\ssary to defray (In^, expense has to be raised during next year, 1 have nut noticed the matter in my linancial statement. In L'Avenir, an old debt against the Church was this year reduced })y |32.50, and in anoth'M- year v.<' hope to have it entirely remo.'ed. In Upper Durham, an extra elibrt was lULuh', and 1 am thankful to say with complete success, to i'enio\ e the debt upon the Parsonage. By the exertions of several menil)ers who uiulertook the work of collecting, especially to ^Ir. ~\V. 11. Lyster, whose name is worthy of particular mention here, the debt was reduced by subscriptions from diilerent parts of the Mission, from $400.20 to about $i.lu0, and (hen. live of those who had given the largi'st stuns, in the iirsl instance, to start the work of building the i'arsomige. and who had made themselves liable for the debt, agreed to at Ih rv of a 1> lu III ii. 65 divide the balance, in due proportion, among them. Their names ought also, I think, to be recorded, and I give them as follows : Solomon Lystcr, C. N. Lystor, Albert Lyster, "VVm. Stevens and Wm. Burvill. It is a matter ol" especial gratitude to Almighty God, that, notwithstanding the extra amount raised this year lor local purposes, asset forth above, there has been no diminution in that given to outside o])jects. It is true that in Upper Durham the sum thus oflcrcd is less by $4 than was yiven last year ; yet, in L'Avcnir, and in South Durham, it is larger by about $22 : so that, in reality, there is an increase of about $17 in the total amount sent out of the Mission for the various objects of your Society. Six Mission cards are used in colled ing for this branch of our work, and the .sums collected, through their means, are as follow^s : Mrs. Ariliur Mountain, 81o.25 ; Mi.ss Ginn, $12.50; Miss McDouoall, $10.15 ; Miss Doyle, $8.50; Miss McCrea, $8.00; Elloi jNIcDougall, $4.75. The last men- tioned is quite a younu* girl, who regularly collects for the " Wawano.sh Home.'' in Algoma. It will always be a plea- sure, I am sure, for your Society to know that the little ones of Christ's llock are learning diligence in gathering up the small coins for His service. In a confirmation held in South Durham last June, 1 1 persons rec(nved the Kite, and I have to recoixl, for the year ending 30th November, 12 baptisms, 15 funerals and 7 marriages.

The Rev. F. Boyle reports : — There are two congregations in this ]Mi.s.-ion, Standon and Hemison. Will treat of the ibrmer lirst : The mem- bers of this congregation last summiT put up a good substantial fence round the greater part of the Church property in that place ; costing about forty dollars, and they also partly built anew an old ;i])an(.loui'd School House. and converted it hito a suitaldo Cliurch SLi!])le at a cost of about twenty dollars. No man now in this mission can, as we too often hoar, give as an excuse ibr neglecting the services in God's House, "it is too cold to leave my liorse standing out," ibr we have now two good stabL^s, one ;it each church, c|uite equal in accommodations to the rc(jiiiro- ments of the Mission in that line. At Hemison we have had doublt^ windows Jbv tlie Par- sonage; cost of which seven dollars. AjuI we have doiK* this year about twenty dollars worth of improvements on the glebe. Besides which. Air. Edward Smyth, of Crapodier. has made over to the Church Society a half-acre lot of land oil the front of his farm as a site for a School House, on which Ave have a building for that ]iurpose pretty ^\ell advanced. Worth in all at ])resent thirty dollars. The services have been regidarly k<'pt up in botli the churches. The attendance has Ijcen uood at both stations, especially in summer, but in winter there is, of ]iec(>ssity, a great falling olf in tln^ conirreijations ; as nearlv all the young people, both men and maidens, are comjielled to leave here lor the winter and seek amploymtMit elsewhere, where they can earn something ; for here there is nothing at all doing at this season, Hence the cause of all the boil aging, 57 the bone and sinew leaving the country. This is discour- aging-, but, if we have our little downs in Missionary life, we frequently have too our corresponding ups, and I may here say that nothing pleased me more than the readiness with which both my congregations responded to the de- mand of the board requiring an increased assessment. The amount, and more than the amount demanded, was sub- scribed in a few days ; and part of next year's additional assessments paid in. My hands would be idle indeed, if they were to hang down, with such proofs of spiritual manifestations among my people. The following is my linancial statement : — East Framiilon.

Kichmond reports: — That several of the young men have LM't and many others think of leaving the coast as soon as they can save the means. This state of things has been brought about in my Mission l)y the failure of the salmon lishery, entailing a loss of at least ten thousand dollars a year ; and the failure of winter work, the supply of boards, tish tubs and firewood „... h »•! k.^i 58 required l)y the merchants beinir very little when divided among- the population. The Mission of Peninsula and Little Gaspe is likewise sulicring' i'rom the failure of salmon and mackerel fisheries, and less than an average catch of codfish. In spite of all these drawbacks to their prosperity, the x-)i'ople have struggled hard to meet their engagements with the Diocesan Board. SL Paufa Church. — This Church was used for DiviiK; Service for the first time on the lirst Sunday in January last. I am very sorry that the congregation could not request th(i Eishoj) to consecrate the building last summer, owing to unpaid d(!l)t. The g-rant from the Church Society has Jjeen applied for but not yet received, and some subscriptions remain yet unpaid, the suljscribers being unable to meet their promises owing- to the failure of the salmon iishery. A new chun-h-bell of over three hundred pounds weig'ht has been added to the Church, chieily throug'h the liberality of C. Stimson, J<]s(},, of Montreal, and other summer visitors. The n-'W Church has cost nearly $;],000, and thert^ remains yet much to be done to furni.sh it decently. The attendance at the services has been good during the past year. On two or three occasions of special interest, e.r/., the Conhrmation aiul Christmas services, the Church has been quite full. SLJamea' C/////y//.— South-West Arm of Gaspi;' Bay. The causes of financial depression 1 have mentioned are very much felt by this congregation ; many of the people have to leave the place during- the summer and seek for temporary employment elsewhere ; some have left altogether, and unless there is a revival of luml)ering, or some other industry springs u]), the time is not far distant when the young men, the ''bone and sinew" of the country, will be obliged to leave. Already, many of them are casting a longing- eye toward ^Manitoba and the Lakes of Upper Canada. The attendance at Church has been average, and the churchyard has been in great partreienced and clear(Hl up, and is in more decent order than it has been for some years. Owing to the division of the Mission into separate parts ])y wati-r, the people have a great nttmber of schools to maintain, there being- no less than live for the two congregations of St. Paul's and St. James. This entails a »9 ho:ivy burden upon the people, as they have to pay nearly §9U0, and the combined "Government giant'' to the schools does not amount to more than $80. Peninsula. — The services have been held Ibrlnighily with one intermission, and have been well attended. The Church is unlinished, the people poor and struggling' h i lor their livelihood. They would be mucli encouraged by the reception of a Church iSociety grant I'or which they have applied ; also, by a grant oi" ^Service books lor the Church. Th(» ])eoj)le lind it hard to pay church and school rates owing to the railur(i of salmon and mackerel lisheries, and yet have promised th.,' increase asked lor by the Diocesan Board. Lillle Gas/tc. — Tlegular monthly services have b:M'ii held, and then; has bt^en an increased attendance at Church.

Under the present arrangiMnent of the Diocesan Board, my charge of i'eninsula and Little Gaspe ceases to-day, and is to l)e resumed henceforth by the lie v. Dr. Ker, of Sandv Eeach.^ In the united Mission the number of baptisms, &i'., during the year is as follows : — Baptisms 25, marriages 2, burials 18. The great increase in the number of deaths during the l)ast year is due to the prevalence of scarlet fever and diphtheria during the past winter. During the past year tlie Lord Bishop visited this Mission and conllrmed, in the Mission of Gaspe Basin, forty-four young persons; and at Peninsula si\ persons, making in all iifly candidates.

Balfour reports : — It is! with mingled feelings of joy and sadness that I present this, my tenth annual report. Of joy, in being able, as I am, to testify to a growing reverence and atte]i- tion to the ordinance of religion throughout the Parish. The number of communicants has increased both at St James and St. John's : as also very materially, tlie otl'er- ings of the people towards the support of the gospel. As an indication of prosperity and ot a right spirit I may, by the way, mention that the quarter's assessment due a month hence has already been forwarded to Quebec by both con- gregations. I am happy also to say that when called upon to increase their assessments by $100, the papers were sign- ed on behalf of each congregation and returiied without any delay. Nor can I omit to bear grateful testimony to the kind and che(?rful manner in which my appcnil lor a parsonage was responded to; the people's only wish seem- ing to l)e Ihat, as re^'ards archit(?cture, warmth and conve- nience, ike, I should construct it entirely to please myself, within reasonable expense. With little delay $1,000 was raised, almost wholly within the Mission, and a willingness expressed to become responsible for $000 or $800 more. 61 As a ivsult wo havo, well nig'li ready for occupation, a Parsonage surpassed by lew in the Uiocese, npon which $1,100 is already paid and a debt of ^700 hangs. Most of the tenders for its construction exceeded $2,500 ; and it is by no competent judge thought now to be worth less than that amount or actually to have cost less. I have during the ])ast year kept up my Sunday Even- ing {Service at Massawippi. Two Sunday Schools have been maintained ; that at St. John's, W^aterville, with much promise. $10 having ])een raised here (St. John's) for S.S. hooks. Mr. lv,obert Hamilton, in response to an appeal, as usual, most kindly came to the children's aid with another $10, much to their delight. A ladies' guild is in success- ful oi>eration in connection with this congregation fur- thering by its handiwork many deserving objects. Already they have added two chandeliers and an altar clotli. The latter article, beautil'ully wrought, was made by the ladies of St. Matthew's guild, and $'J towards the purchase con- tributed by ladies in Quebec, |o by Mrs. AVilliams. Dur- ing last wintiU" and spring, with the kind and al)le assist- ance of Mr. Mayo, 1 held a monthly Missionary Meeting-, thereby endeavouring to awaken a true Catholic s])irit. But to-day my connection with this Mission ceases. And if the thouglit of parting from a people who have been so universally kind, and whose allection, though undeserved, has dee[)ened with each year, makes me sad at heart, I may be pardoned — even though the change that awaits me be a promotion and the call very complimmitary to myself. I may mention, as of interest, that my last service at St, John's, naturally solemn, was rendered the more iuijires- sive by the public baptisms of five adults and one child — making sixty adults that I have baptized within a few years. On the following evening I was the recipient here, at the hands of my kind, good people, of a new harness and other tokens of regard, and subsequently, at the hands of my dear friends of Hatley, of a massive silver wati'r pit- cher, goblet, bowl and tray, chaste in design and bearing an appropriate inscription. That God may guide them all in the paths of righteous- ness, and richly bless them in things belonging to their everlasting peace, will be the constant prayer of their lov- ing friend and late pastor. .r|i % (52 ^ 1 75 50 50 00 Baptisms — adults 0, infants 1-1: ; buriali«( 10, marriages 2.

Uoe reports: — The most noticable feature in the progress of this inission during the past year has been the erection of a Church at " Canip])i'il"s Corners," now nearly completed. It is ])uilt after a model, made by the Ivev. T. S. Chapman, ofhisiirw Church at Dudsvvell Corner ; recommended to us by our generous friend, Mr. Robert Hamilton, who is a larg(i con- tributor to the buikling fund. Substantial help has ])ev\\ also received from the Lord Bishop and other friends in Quebec, to the auiount of, about, >i>'2{}0 ; a u'rant of ,C25 .stg. has also been obtained for us by the Bishop from the Christian Knowledge Society. The entire cost of the buildinu" which is 54 x 25 feet, will be about $1,250. The site, a convenient and valuable one of an acre, was generous- ly given by 3Iessrs. James and Joseph Henry, Presbyterians. It is hoped the Church will ])e ready for consecration a])out Easter, The amount contributed on the spot ])y the people, so far, has been in the nt'ighbourhood of .$500. This is not a very large amount, but shows some progress in the way of duty. I am in hopes that by God's grace my dear people are beginning to see, if but faintly as yet, the duty and uo 00 1-2 00 00 00 03 00 no 1.-) 63 happiness of giving to God, and that tho time will come when th(?y will really believe our Lord and Saviour, when He says : " It is more blessed to give than to receive."' The congregation at Campbell's Corner held a Xmas Festival, with a Christmas Tree, on tSt. StephiMi's Day. As the new Church is as y(^t unfinished, and is not yet cci- secrated, I consejitod that the Ft.'stival should be held in it. About 250 persons were present, crowding the building. The Tree was brilliantly lighted up with ^vax' tapers and loaded with gifts. The kindly feeling of the people to their pastor and his family was substantially shown in gifts plnced upon the Tree for them. Singing nnd lieadings followed, the principal readings w^ere by Mrs, Keed, who dehghted the audience by her charming style, and a pleasant address was delivered. l)y the llev. .1. Ivemp, of Leeds. The usual services at St. Stephen's, Campbell's Corners, and Bccancour have been held uninterruptedly during the year, the congregations have, as a rule, Ixx-n largo, and the number of communicants slightly increasing. The Sunday Schools at St. Stei)hen's and Campbell's Corners have been well attended ; the former has largely increased in numbers during the year. An Iniant Class undertaken l)y Miss Jioe has drawn in many little ones, and has hel])ed to attract their moi hers also to church. Alto- gether 1 feel encouraged in respect to this important branch of my Avork. In the month of Se]iteml)er our annual Suiulay School picnic was held on Graham's Hill, a lovely spot, command- ing a line view of the country around. A great gathering from all parts of the neighboiu'hood, to the number of about 300, came to it. The day wms passed pleasantly in games, and in discussing the good things providinl for the children. Our Church was beautifuUv decorated bv manv williuji hands for Christmas, and the services were bright and joyous. I append the usual statistics: — Bajitisms io, marriage 1, burials G.

My own health and that of my wile did not pvomi.se any longs' continuation in the work carried on nearly ten years in this Mission. With permission of the Lord Bishop' and at the request of many of our friends, wi^ spent six weeks in travel, going' as far as Washington, the Capital of thr United States, where a very ilattering address ^vas forwarded us from the three comrregations in the Mission, to which I w^as unable to reply till my return. We found the relaxation of great advantaire, and with the exception of making fewer visits, which deprives me of a good deal of pleasur(>, the work has gone steadily on. At Upper Ireland, one of our school boys has returned to us after a four years absencn^ two of whicli were spent nt the Normal School and two in i\\o house of another of our Missionaries wlio directed his studies. He is nou^ engagi'd as teacher in the Parish School, and will, I trust, soon be licensed as a second Lay Reader. This a\ ill enal)le us to liave servici^ every Sunday in two oi' the Churches, and materially increase our forces in the schools. At Lower Ireland, the necessity of resiorinu' the Churcii. rapidly becoming unlit for use, is urgently i)h';"led. 1 successful tea-party was h(dd during the summer, and s;],') added to the building fund started two years ago.

The l\cv. It. Wyndham Brown reports: — Before the closincr of navigation for some seven months, I hasten to .lend the Society a lew words on Mission work 5 H!-- 66 here in Labrador. From tho nature of the case, my account of the work must be brief, owing to the fact that scarce- ly three months have elapsed since I arrived on the coast. After a short and pleasant passage from Que})ec, I landed at Natasliquan towards the end of July. It was not without feelings of regret that I took leave of the Captain of the "Otter," at whose hands I experienced great kindness while on board. The dreary looking coast, with its endless cliifs and the stuntinl appearance of its vegetation, did not create in me a favoral^le impression of my future home ; but further experience showed that my lot had been cast ill "pleasa'it placi's"' after all. The day after my arrival, Sunday, I held my lirst services at Natashquan, in one of the large rooms of Messrs. Robins & Co. Among the congregation I was pleased to find several of my brother's parishioners from Shigawake and Port Daniel. Here there was a disappointment in store for m(\ !My pilot with the Church boat failed to moet me, and I found that I must make my way to Mutton l!ay as I best could. Next day, however, I was lucky enouu'h to g>t a passage to Casco in the schooner •' Palma," chartered by Government, with the enumerators on board, engaged iji rakinu' the census of the coast. After a stay of live or six days in Casco (a small settlement with some oight familii>s), I found no dilliciilty in securing a pilot to convey myself and Ijclongings to Mutton Pay, ^vhich was reached on tli(^ 10th of August. During this journey, s-rvici'S were hdd daily at Casco, AV'ashecootie, Cape AVhiltle or AVolfe Bay, Harrington Harbour and AVhale Head. Nothing out of the ordinary appeared to mark this, my lust visit of half the Mission. A kind welcome awaited tli*^ Missionary at each stopping place. Throughout I he Church services were well attended, and were entered into l)y all with much earnestness. Despite the edueati(.nal disadvaiitau'es under which the peoi)leof Labrador labour, both young and oldar»M'emarkably well informed, both in secular and religious things. This is a great encuuragenieiit and help to the Missionary, and is due in great measure to the patient and untiring elfoits of mv predecessors. Arrived at Mutton Pay I found it necessary to remain a short time to visit the i)eople and look after my books, is:c., which had sullered considerably from long exposure to the wcatlier in an open boat. 07 On the 30ih of August I proceeded to visit the Eastern part ol' tlie Mission, intending to go as far as Forteau, in the Diocese oi' Newibundland. This I was prevented from doing owiiiu' to the severity of the weather ; but by walkhin- overland I was enabled to reach L'Anse-au-Chiir, also in the Diocose ol' Newfoundland. Here a congregation of more tiuiu iirty ]")er;:;ons assembled for the evening service, Avhich vras biiglit and liearty owing to the excellent singinir aiul responding ; and the young people at least, who had long ])eeii (^xpccl ing the Missionary, were then made happy 1))' lav ;i;ri\al. On l;u' down and return journey the people \,ere vi>ited, and services held at the iollowing places : Tabatiere, tSi. Augustine. Thecatica, Baie-des- iiochers, Lydia's Cove, Dog Island, Old Fort Island, Bonne f]sperance, ^Salmon Bay, Blanc !Sal)lons, and L'Anse-au-Clair. I returned to Mutton Bay on the i27th of September, after an al)st'iice ol' one inontii. On iny arrival I found the people making prei)aratious for moving into winter quarters, aiid w ;;s siU'ry lo learn of tiie intended removal, from Schooner Bay, the winter }iead((uarters of the Mission, of r;everal rainiiies. This v.'ill reduce our numbers very low, and m;d;es the pvo.-j^ee't of a day-school there a very forlorn ho[M>. Scavcily ^)\' fuel has compelled n-^arly all the families to U'wvo, hehooner Bay. As a conseqience of this our services tlieri' will bo poorly attended during the coming- winter, !ind renders it necessary that our winttu* Mission house be renio\ed eLsewh(>rt\ On the 2nd of October one of til ' seliooners from Qui'])ec arrived, bringing wilh it Mr. Vrillis, the mails, and a large assortment of good things for the poor and l'.)r tlie Xmas tree. A hearty welcome was extended to all. "With the e:cception of a few days my autumirs travelling has beini done under very fine weather, and I have much to Ik* tliankl'ul for. My health has been p:oo(1, exeepting an occasional twinge of neuralgia. I am thankful to say that a good year's fishing has been made on the coast, and that iiiere will be no sufferino; or want. I have been informed, liowevm*, that towards the extreme east :)f the coast, in the Diocese of Newfoundland, the lishing ha-! been a complete failuie. Since my return from the east of the Mission, the services have been carried on as usual in Mutton Bay. There have been two celebrations I. 68 of the Holy Communion ; these of course do not inchide those held durinj^ my absence, nnd communions of the sick. Mr. Willis returned this week from Salmon Bay, having made arrangements for carrying on a school there during the winter. He will have the use of the school house, and the attendance will be good. It would be useless for him to stay in Schooner Bay, where there will not be half a dozen children. I am sorry we have to be separated. I hope to carry on a small day-school during the winter myself, at Schooner Bay. This of course will have to be closed while absent on my winter visit of the coast. The quantities of warm and useful clothing sent in such profusion will bo a great blessing to the poor of the coast ; they ought, I am sure, to bo very grateful to Mrs. AVilliams and other kind fri(>nds. For a very handsome woollen undercoat for myself and some substantial articles of clothing. For the Xmas tree, my thai '^s are due to the ladies of the St. Matthew's Church Guild, Quebec. Many kind friends have remembered us by s(>nding books, papers and clothing. I expect to gratify the "little ones" with a Xmas tree, hiden with many good things, for which my thanks are due to friends of the Mis.sion in Que])ec. The cold weather has set in, and there are indications of a very severe winter. I fear that this year we are to be deprived of a winter mail, but I hope for the best. It would be hard to hoar nothing from the outside v,'orld duriiiG: onr lono; winter. JiEEDS. The Rev. John Kemp reports : — The services have ])een held in the several Churches and Stations as usual, with about the ordinary attendance, save for the past three months, when scarlet fever broke out at both ends of the Mission in some of our most constant Church-goinu' families, which not only prevented families so visited from attending church, but, frightenod away others also, lest the iiiR'ction miirlii touch tliem. One of my youim- candidates for coiilirmalion and his sister, children of Mr. It. S. Marshall, of Leeds Village, w\s taken away. Some also at Kinnear's Mills were absent from cou- 09 firraation from the same cause The Lord Bishop of the Diocese held conlirmation in the Mission boforo Christmas. Broucrhton — 8 coniirmod. Leeds — 11 con firmed. Kinnear's Mills — 16 confirmed. The roads were vt ry bad. The congregations were very good at the several chnrches where conJirmations were held. His Lordship also preached at H. H. Mines. On our way back iVom Bronghton to Leeds we were hospitably entertained at dinner by Mr. A. Martin, when we met two of the Directors of the new company, which is about to re-open ihe Mines. .\> Leeds, and at the Mills, a Sunday Seliool is kept up during the summer monlhs, with a very good attendance. There are at each place bflween thirty and forty scholars on the books ; the average attendance has been about 25 in each school. Mr. George Bayne still superintends the Leeds Sunday School, assisted by Mrs. Siggans, Mi^^s Mar- shall (our Organist), and Mi.'is .Tames I generally take part when I have morning service in the same church. Mr. "William McVitty superintends tl'.e Sunday School at the Mills, assisted ])v }>Iiss C. Dullett, and part of the time by Mr. John Duliett". 1 regret to add that Mr. McVitty aliso lost a daughter by scarlet lover. I find myself gi'tiiug rather old for such an extensive mi.ssion ; though 1 do all ih(^ pul)lic work in the way of services, &c., that has ever Ijimmi done by any of my prede- cessors, I am not al)le to do as much in visiting my peo[)le as a younger man could, but the people are considerate and make all due allowance. I have taken the Church Society list round Leeds and neighbourhood this y(>ar, and the result is lully as good as I expected. The Collectors at the Mills were prevented from doing all they would have done by the fever breaking out in two out of three of th(ur families. The increase of the assessment for next year, thougli not much, still makes the people more slow to coutrihute to outside objects. 1 have, howu?ver, done my ])est, and tlu^ result is — thirty-live dollars and seventy cents, in addition to s;10.r)0 for Foreign and Domestic Missions, Total for church purposes, si^lOO. to MAGDALEN ISLANDS. The Rev. J. Chambers reports : — We have passed a winter ol' unusual leng'th, iiot marked by any great den-ree of frost, but by hoavy and ropoaled falls of snow, v. Inch is a point to l;e notieeel in niis.sion work here, because it has made iravcllijig- dillicult and tedious. As usual all the ishinds have been visited as r«^gularly as possible, with the exception of ]jryou Island, this is in con- sequence of its isolated position, and the current rnnniiij^ rapidly between it and Gfrosse Isle, ]n'events anything like an ice-bridu'e forming. The distance from island to island being ten miles. Gross Isle is twenty miles from Gii;ulstone Island, ar.d the journey takes the whole of the day to accoin[)lish, it there is much snow. However, this i.^hiiid has 1) tii visited i'requently and regularly and the work carried on as usual. Here the people attend Divine k3orvi<.'(» well, travelling dis- tances of from three to live miles lor the purpose of worshipping God in public. Grindstone Island has had the iidvantcige oi a good schoolmaster. Mr. Harvey Clarke, Jr., who has done his work well and to the satisfaction oi' all. During my al)sence he has conduct(>d vSunday School, thus supplying a groat need. Our deepest thanks are due to IT. vS. ^"cott, K-q., Quebjc, who has kindly obtained twi^nty dollars (-^^^'JO) for ycdiool purposes, with a promise ol'twenty move at tlu> tei'minalion of the scholastic year. Amherst Island has been visited as usual. Here theri> aie but live Protestant families all of which haxe been visid'd. One of these has but recently settled here iVom Prince Edward Island, the husband being a ]\Iethodist, and the wife a Presbyterian. They have always j-eceived me with marked attention, and on my hist visit requested me to baptize their three children as they had n(.t previously received the rite. A good opportunity olfered for visiting Entry Island, as the iue-bridge formed early. 71 The TcmpenincG Society still continues to hold its ground. Lately it has not added many to its ranks ; this is owing to its haviuii" already cnibraced all the eldm- inhabitants of this island, with the exci^plion ol" the veteran drinkers who still prefer tlie way of death. Travelling is much more dillicult here for a mis:-ionary than for any other peison, on account of having to meet engagements, /, e., to be at nn island at a given time, and thus have to force through all kinds of wiMither. And althougli the exposure on tluue ijleak frozen bays is great, yet, it setmis to p.k^ far less troublesome than tliat oi the Fall of the year when boating in bad weather. I will give an example : — I was returning from Gross Isle late liist Fall, a strong fair wind was blowinu', and with reefed sails the boat went along at a splendid rau^ until ai'iivinu' at what is called " The Narrows,"' really a mass of sand banks, with a wind- ing channel running through them, and a ])erson must be a good pilot to avoid rn lining aground continually. Unfor- tunately, I started late and arrivd at this ])lace Just before' sunsi't, and. as I could not s(>e the channel distinctly, I had the misfortune of running the boat aground. Nothing remained now but to get overboard and try to heave the boat off, I'or one dare not liu'liteu the boat l)y throwing away balhist, as fully six miles of deep water had to be accomplished after ♦••elLing clear of these shoals. j\. CD CD At this season of the year tlie water is very cold, and as it took fully an hour to get the boat into deep water again, I was much chilled. Darkness had now set in iind with it rain and an increase of wind, which hauled riulit ahead and compi>lled me to anchor lor tlu^ night. And such a night of misery is not ea.sily explained liere, sulUcii it to say that this and similar experiences of fre(|uent occuirene..; are fruitful sources of sharp attacks of rheumatism. =.^ * Mr. Clinnberr; left f'lr l'-n;4ancl l.ist Auiumn, on leave; iluriiig l.ia iih suDcc Mr. J. .loneij ha; bcon liounsed as Lay licader. HI uW im ih'' f' 72 MAaOG 4ND GEOKGEVIIiLE. The Rev. J. Hepburn rejiorts : — In carryinn- on the work of ihis Miis.siou disappoint moui has been mingled with encouragement ; yet I cannot hut say that when all things are put together, there is much more reason ibr hope than despondency. li' my judgment is good, there has been improvement in both centres of work, that is in the villages of Magog and (leorgeville; and for several months past 1 have been greatly c'neered by the renewed interest mani Tested in the outstiUic'is, now in- creased to six. I do not claim that there is a wuiideri'ul ii.iprovomeiil anywhere ; diihculties and trials of iVecpient recurrence ke/j) me from saying so. I am glad however to think, I discern progress, if it be but slow. JNIy p^-ople as a people, appro- ciat(^ more highly the distinctive teaching of the Church; their attachment to her ordinances is deepening; many of them have told me of the power over ihem of the JJook of Common Prayer. In consequence of this there is greater heartiness of worship. It troubled me sorely that our res- ponses were generally so weak ; and it was hard to under- stand how those whom I knew to be dcvoul, expressed so little audibly in the course of divine Avor.hij). W'e who have 1 " u reared in the Church are not ])reparedto appre- ciate ti 5,Teatness of th(^ change' from ordinarv extem])ore worship to our own. Those who have sat year tifter year and listened to what was said, supposing that Vv'as all that was necessary in regular worship. Jiud it a Vv'holly new thing to arise, and .^iiig and j^ray with spirit in the pr^'.seiic^ of others; and they are starth^l at the sound of tlhnr owsi voices, as is the youth, who for the iirst time rises to speak before an audience and more than this, it takes some time to shake oti'the feeling tliat they are /a/'v"//;,'- ftn) much iijuni them. Here the difficulty has been k(>enly felt, Vvlii-re the principal part of the congregation has been won to the Church. In the outstations I have ]al)oared on in hope against this dilliculty of responding, having often ojily one or two faint voices to accompany me, and this notwith- standing all the exhortations I have given from time to time. 78 Young men seem alniOot afraid of coininittiui^' an unpardon- able sin, if they venture to pray aloud in the congrei^'ation. It is a comfort that they have not the same scrupL^s about shi^- inghymns. Frequently where I can get little response I have very hearty singing. In a quiet way I have told them that if they have no hesitation in si/i;^iiig- praj/er^; and ])rni)ies to God from their hymn books, they shoukl have )ione in reverently sdi/ing' Iheui from their [iraijer books, on bended knee. I am very thankful to say that in all these stations I now have a certdn numbi'r who are deeply in earniisl, and are coming surely into the Church, valuing her olhces more than any other, attending the services on week-day even- ings as reguhirly as if they were held on Sunday. ()at of a ]) )ssible 4') or 50 seldom l.;?ss than 'JO attend; and this where three years ago there was not one person who belonged to the Church, or had any regard for her, — she being commonly supposed a very iV)rn)al and corrupt Church, iirst cousin to the Church of Itonii'. One fruit of the work is to be seen in Ib.e l):iplism of children. To that all were strongly opposed : it had been preached as a "vain thing'^ &c., 4^0. I have lectured freelij upon the subject, and called very special attention to it as an "ordiinnce of God," and there- fore of the utmost importance. i\\s I wunit so far as to advertise two Lectures upon it some tinn^ ago in an Ad- vcntist Settlement (although I am strongly opposed to advertising generally) and secured a crowded house, among whom appeared the Inkier and Deacon ; and they gave me a verj' patient hearintj;. I olfered then and there the privi- lege of asking any questions they saw lit before we parted, but none were volunteered. This could not have beeu done a year aiyo without stirring up a tempest. Another healthy sign is, that when the assessment upon the ^lission was increased, I mentioned it to them and instantly they agreed to contribute, one congregation (the oldest) giving $17. ]\Iagog had already, at the Easter meeting, volun- teered sioO extra, so that we have met the call upon us by the Board, without any trouble. All will understand that fortnightly services in each of these six stations, besides those given in the Churches, 74 accompanied ])y the necessary visits, make a large demand upon tim>\ At one time I had monthly appointmonis, but found that tho interest llag-god b; twecn them, .so the only ihiiiix to do was to double them. This olten interferes with the observance of J^aints days in the Churches ; yet I think the object el" the Church may be attained by antieipatini;- or postponinij them, vriituriuu' herein to exj^re.ss an opinion adverse to one ofsuch great authority as the late Dean Hook. If I speak of disappointmn of the young. Then again I have Iseen "•rieved that the bodv of the communicants has not vet entered, as was meet, into the fortniyhtly celebration ; a certain few do, but not the body. This has grieved mc much, and still does grieve me. Then again I have met a good deal of opposition and mucli annoyance from the mana'uvres of outside bodies. I Hatter myself that our success has moved them more than anything else. They have riothinii' in common ; but yet they have banded togeth(>r in dillereirt things against me as against a common foe. It is distressing to iind misreprcsentittions have hindered the work lor months and yt-ars. I'aticncv' is necessary, and faith is tJie ultimate power of the trutli. In my last report I ex})ressed a hope of building a tower to the Church in Georg<>ville, and also of securinu' an Endo^vm'Mlt Fund. Both are yet in the future. More than half the amount necessary for the tower was raised, but thcri? we halt for a whil(\ I think it cannot be postponed lonaer than the spring. The ladies expected to raisi- the $100 for eirdowment, but Ihe organ lacing very poor, they purcna.'- >d oiu». instead. In this part of the Mission we have had trouble each year in raising the assessment. Thi' amount was subscril^ed hut not /xiid. I rt^solved to duir the guiltv and save the innocent, and did so. Tliis caused ill feeling, ])ut it left me with an easy conscieirce. II men cannot learn that lio/iesti/ is a very necessnr// part of religion, I am not ambitious to secure them as hearers. 15 id ut Now, I have thankfully to record the assistiiiice 1 have had di thi TJie J. ille C School anim; ■was obli'4'ed to move to Mag-og lor the \viiit(n- months. The rector (h'ev. P. C. Read) at once volunteered an extra service each Suiuhiy, in addition to helping' during tlie week; and with Mi\s. Read, IVeedmelVom all ^(^'^l)onsil)ility of the choir, lor which 1 was especially gi-atelul. I was delighted that, as they were leavint:", I was asked to give them, i'or the congregation, a sum of twenty dollars as a small token of resp;>ct and gratitude. The liev. g-ntli'man kindly undertook the illumination of the cliaucel of the Church, hut w;is hineks in summer, ?dr. Chabneis, of Brooklyn, who is studying for the Church, lived in Creorgeville, and he kindly uiuhu'took an extra ^Minday si'rvice, much to the gratiiication of the people. The annual Sumhiy tSchool pienie in August was a li'reat success, securing tlie presence of all classes and denomina- tions to the number of -JOO. The JSunday iSchool work has been somewhat trying, but my teachers have stood up well for me and with me, iind we have kept our hold upoii the young.

MALBAIE. The Rev. G. Kadley Walters reports :— In sending my report to the Society for this year, I may say that I have nothing- of great importance to chronicle, save perhaps it be the severe ])Iow we ri'ceived this sum- mer from the Diocesan Ijoard, in the shape of an increase in our assessment. P'or a time the Church AYardens wn-e puzzled how to ansvv'cr, being desirous to pay as we go and not to fall into arrears, and any increase during the disastrous times ^ve are passing tlirough here, they kmnv, nitaut a final collapse. However, I am happy to say that, though the lJioc(\san Ijoord hit us hard, and for a time seemed to have crii>j)lod us, yet, after a little time lor quiet rest and cor.sid 'ration (not rcUection), we, were able to put on a bold front, and boast that we intended to do our best, come what may. This past season, for my poor people, has simply been a repetition of last year's failure of our cod ii^>hiiig — owing more this year to the great scarcity of bait. When the weather v.'as line for the boats to go out, thor-(> would be, generally speaking, the days that there would be no bait to bo had. A. failure in our lishing menus a failure of almost everything else with us ; and those only vv' ho live amoiui' the lishermen of this coast and visit their homes, can tell all that the word iailure means to them. Though in miuiy instances tlie merchants are kind and considerate, yt't failure in tlu^ quantity offish means a shortened allow- ance of the common necessaries of life. In many cases, near approach of u long; winter, \ny peopU tind wi di thw 77 00 k3 00 3cial themselves at the end of their summer's toil with no cnsh, no flour, and only subsist by acts of charity from oif their more fortunate neig'hbors. With rog'ard to Church life in this ]Mission. I may say that wove it not for the liberality of the Jer.sin'' firms here, our Church would long since have been closed for want of funds, though in point of numbers we are stronger than ever, though this past year I have actually lost i'rom our resident members fourteen persons, who have left for other parts of Upper Canada to seek a more prospm-ous livelihood. It is the increase of poverty in my Parish which phices its deadening elfecls on all things. Though poor, my p, ople are strongly attached to our Church, and the thought of the Church being closed for want of funds would bri)ig a pang of sorrow to many a heart. I think the ^j. P. G, ought to make a special grant for these purely primitive missionary stations along this coast, for the work here is second to none in the Diocese for its purely missionary character. Throughout the year past, my Sunday and week-day services have been very well attended, and the numbers from time to time attendinii- the Holy Communion have shown that the words of exhortation preached on the duty and Idessed privilege of receiving that Holy fc'aerament, have not l)een heard in vain. The number attending the Sunday School lias continued on an average of ^")0. In the month of Se})tember ^ve were gladdened by a visit from our Bishop, who came on .i conl!rmalion tour. I presented to his Lordship thirty-eight young }-»ersons for that solemn rite, and I feel sure that the words of counsel, advice and encouragement that fell from the Bishop's lips that day, ^vill not easily be elfaced from many memories. ^ly l)est thanks are due to Adolphus Collas, I'^sq., my late Church "Warden, as are also the thanks of the \vholo conii-resi'ation, to whom we feel intb Sled for many a voluntary act of kindness.

At ihe Synod it was decreed that we should be, lor llio future, a H.'ll'-supporting Parish. I cannot say that this is not just and riij,'ht, but I must say it has come U[)on us at a peculiarly hard time. We have still a considerable debt on our rarsonage, wliich must be soon paid ofi". The last year has also v»'itnessed ar exodus from New Carlisle for the "W'estern States, whicli has Ici't us weaker linaneiallv. Indeed I can say without fear of contradiction that any time during the last tn\ years NewCarli.^le was better al)le than now to bear its part as a self-supporting Parish. "We do not intend however to grumble, but do our best in the circumstances in which we are ])laced. Last August we were stirred up from the usual quiet routiiu^ of I'arish life, by a visit from our res|)eeted and beloved Bishop.

The Rev. iJr. Ker writes : — No disasters or misfortuni^s, sueli as have visited so mnny loealilies on this continent, have lallen upon us ; and thouuh poor in worldly g'oods, we rojoiec in the inestimable blessinij^s of health and peoce; and if 1 cannot add plenty, yet I trust that there will be a sulliciency to supj^ly th ' lu^cessaries of Hie, so that tliere will be no physical sullerinii' amona'st us, such as I j'ear will i'all heavily u^jon some oF the inhal>itants of this coast, unless that aid h(\ sent by the Goverimient and the wealthy. The cause oi' the poverty to be round amon-r.-t us is the I'ailure of all the lisheries which have hitlierto been the sui)i)orl and maintenance of the peoi^l' of Gaspe.

Farms, in th(» usual acceptance oi' the term, tliey hav( none; a i'ew acres in tillage, to i'urnish tl'.em with vegetables and hay, are all that they possess; and these patches of improved land they call — not farms, but gardens. Were they at once to abandon the sea, and turn to the land, years must pass before fields conld be won, by arduous and incessant toil, from the forest. In the meantime, there is nothing on which they can support Rl liA'. Vv'iy many oC llir youua' men — the bone and sinexT of tlie loud — struck almost \vith despair at the prospects before lii.'m, h:ive left the place, and are seeking- the means oi' living' in more favoured and prosperous localities. IT these ])lone(Mvs re]>ort lavourably ol' the change, so many more will lollowthat tlie coast will be greatly depopulated. I mon'don Ih'.' e Facts to the P.oard to account Ibr the failure of the r^lis^-);! in the i)nyment of the nssessmcnt.

The Mission is divi^Ied into di.'^tricts. and collectors appointed to eneli, Vvho mnke montlily visits, and gather in all that is imssibh- lVoi:i t!ie members.

I conlidently believe that some spiritual im- provement has l)een made. Three Sunday Sciiools v\'ere in cxislance and in good working condition upon my entrance into the Mission, these have been successfully continued und(»r the manao-o- ment of their respective sujierinteudcnts. That at iShiga- wake is conducted by ]\[r. "Wni. Skene, jr , assisted by an able stall" of teachers. The attendance is large, and it may 3'et be increased. At I'ort Daniel the school is not so larg?? as in the former place. The Superintendent is Mr. "Wil- liam McDonald, assisted by able teachers. Here, also, the attendirice can be increased. This school experienced a a great loss, last summer, in the departurt^ lo another sphere of action oi o]ie of its ablest teachers— Miss Gadd — who for five years lielprd on ihu work, and acted as orgoiust in the church. The Sunday School at L"Aiice-au-Gaseon is the smallest of the three, but is in good condition, under the careful manan-ement ol Miss Aeleson nnd other toachcrs. These Sunday Schools have been in operation lor a number of yt.ai^, and are conducted with much (>arnes(ness; and con- sequently much crood is done by them. I was aide to judii'e of this when conducr'ng the Confirmation classes. I take this op[Hjriunity of i'X|»ressing my warm thanks to the su]>crintendents and I'.^acliers of the Sunday Schools for ihrir help. We have had, during this time, in coniux-iion with the Sunday Sciiools, /i'//r very jtleasant /iif-t/ics, and three vcn-y sucoessl'ul '"Christmas Tree's," which all'orded great i)leasure to the cliildrcn. 1 owe many thanks to my parishioners for Iheir valuiibk- and useful gifts to myself at "the Trees"; / % 83 and ftl.*o, lor iriU(;li substaiilial kiiidiu'ss extended to me duriiiL;' my sqjouni lunoiigst them.

After tin interval of every six. weeks, about two succeeding- weeks are usually spent in the Chaudierc and neig])ouring districts, compris- ing Scott's Junction.

As a rule no Sunday passes withoirt two (aiul more often three) services beini; held in one or inoi\) of the above ])laces, including a elebration of Holy (Jomnauiion at appointed times. Neither ])ad roads nor nni'avour:ii)le weather are allowed very often to interrupt the ordinary round of duties in the ^Mission. I still give, as I have b.'cn v.ont to do, what liltli; over- sight I can to the schools here and there. The attendance at Church has improved in St. Giles. In Cumberland Mills (the seigniory of the late worthy Mr. and Mrs, Ilarbottle, who built the Church,) the attendance has much increased during the yivir, owing to the prcst-nce of many connected with gold mining operations in that vicinity ; and the services have been hearty and encour- aging. Great indillerence, however, exists there in school matters, and my best eli'orls for a long time past in this connection have not been well seconded or rewarded. Much of the diliiculty ortlanger which used to occur al. times heretofore in crossing the Chaudicrt; Ivi ver to St George, is now done away by the late erection of a good bridge. jNot long ago, in attempting to ford the river as usual, I was all but carried into fatally deep water l^y the force of tlie cur- rent. My waggon was lilled with water, and the horse almost taken oil" his feet, and 1 can ascribe my escape from imminent peril on tliis occasion, as indeed under many other dangerous circumstances, only to the special care of a Divine and gracious guardian. 1 was th(3 more impressed by my deliverance, and 1 trust tiie more truly thankful for it f '1111 the fact that when the same vehicle in which I had I rescued was bein<>- brouidit to the door of the manor- iiouse, next morning, one of its wheels fell to pieces from the all but collapsin;>- strain it had received the previous day, ■H- f ■■■ti:: m m . fM- IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 I.I |50 "^^ ■■■ 1*0 IIIII2.0 1.25 i 1.4 1.6 Photographic Sdences Corporation 23 WIST MAtN STREET WEBSTER, NY. 14S80 (716) 872-4503 # •^v <> c^ V % L<9 88 Setting out, however, in a borrow>jd cart.

I believe that if any Mission in the Diocese can be relied upon to do according to its ability in the duty of giving, it is the Mission of West Frampton and Cranbourne, and I think I am warranted in believing that a large number of communicants, and a liberal and cheerful almsgiving, ar<( signs of spiritual life and growth. But, alas ! we are too poor to help ouraelveK. If some wealthy cliurchman would like this to be explained, let him come and see our shabby and laded altar cloths, and the hangings on our pulpits and reading-desks.

JJISIIOP'S COLTiKllE, LENNOXVILIiE. The Kov. Dr. Lobh;y, Principal, reports: — During a portion of tlic yoar which has passed since I sont in a report to tlie Association, the religious work of the College, as well as its other work, had to be carried on under somewhat disadvantageous circumstances. A renew- ed outbreak of fever led to our sending the students out of College, and shutting up the College Chapel. The servic(!s wore held regularly at the usual times in St. George's Church, which .v'as placed at our disposal very kindly, bv the Rector and Church Wardens, the only departure from our ordinary custom, being that a fortnightly celebration of the Holy Communion in the early morning, was sul)- stituted lor a weekly one. The disadvantage consisted in our being scatten;d at some distance from the centre of worshi]), instead of being close at hand, as we are in Col- lege. Our love, too, for our Chapel, made us all very glad to come back to it, when in May, it was considered sale to use the College again. We have now our usual daily services in Chapel, full choral on all festival and other events, with an earlj?^ cele- bration of the Holy Communion on Sundays and Saints' Days. The services are hearty and reverent, and I cannot but feel sure that they constitute a real means of grace to many of us. Last December, we had 22 resident students and 7 non- resident. We have now the same number of residents, l)ut only 5 non-residents. Sixteen of our students are candidates for Holy Orders. Our Missionary Union is still in full working order, though, during our dispersion in the early part of the year, its operations were, to a certain extent, suspended. The same cause has led to a considerable diminution in the amount of our olfertories, in fact, for four months we had no Sunday evening olfertories at all to call our own. The amount of our offertories from Dec. 1, 1880, to Dec. 1, 1881, ^ ff 1 I-- ■Ji- ' 92 is 8') t 5o, distribnt'.Hl as follows : — Exponsos oi" Chapol, $10.80 ; Chapi'l Buildinu: Fund, sO.OO ; Foreign :Missions, $21.07 ; iJiocesun Mi.>;sion Fund, $.').00 ; Pension Fund, $2.08. Besides the above, our Missionary Union sent to th.' S. P. Ct., for tho])le had begun to i)ay regularly, though not without a gO(jd deal of prc-^surt; and looking al'tt'r, $40 a year, their quota o'" the suni expench'd for horse hire. I was very sorry to be obliged to devolvi^ the burden of this large and i)aportant station — imperatively needinu' as it does much pastoral care — once more upon IMr. Chapman, whose hands were already I'ull. Indeed we had hoped that Asrvices as Church "Warden on tile part of ^Ir. Anson Endmry, and of much kiiubn^s.s and hospit;>lity from many, especially from ^Ir. W. Chester and Mr. Thomas Staples. Down to the midsummer vacation, Ascot Corner was served regularly every Sunday. Since then, I have been y.vir, fl3 compelled to take the entire charge of it into my own hands, and hav llv b( ibl( this stati ;onscqnc only a Ibrtniglitly service, any altornato tSunday ])oing devoted to Sandhill. Tlie prospects of this station at the beginnino: of the year were? very bright, but it has shared in the blight which iell npon AVestbury. In January last, the Kev. Isaac Thompson held a most succes:4ul ^Mission there, and moved the hearts of the whole neio-hbonrhood marvellously. Tlie immediate results were the baptism of twelve adults, besides a family of iiv(^ children ; and (lie conlirmation of lifteen, all adults. Of Jie lil'teen co;i!iruied, thirteen have since become communicants; making the number of communicants at Ascot Corner up to thirty-one There is a very hopeful aiul interestin'r Sunday School at Ascot Corner, Avhich I instruct for an hour bei'ore etich service. These two stations of Ascot Corner i^nd Westbury ought now to have a resident pastor. h]very week that this is delayed tln>y will suffer. It must bo remembered that two stations so distant as these are from Leimoxville, seven and fourteen miles respectively, all we can furnish from the College is Sunday services, with little or no pastoral care. JNIy ex))erience makes it clear to me thai, a Mission station can only be carried on to a certain j>oinl by missionary servicers; after that, if pastoral care be not furnished, tlie work begins to decline, li' thi.3 ground, so hardily won, is not to bo lost, a nvsident ]i;;slor must, withoutdi'lay, be stationed in charge of these tv/o tf;w]i^-]iii)s. The services at Sandhill have been kept U]) regularly every Sunday during the year, ]\Ir. Arthur .ludge i)iMng my eiiicient helper. Tin* rongreLi-alions have jjeen good, and the Sunday School v.'ell alten.ded. Tlie envelope, system is successl'ully working here to pvovi>b* luiuls jor horse hire and other expims(^s. The horse s'led has ])eon raised, and will be eompleted now in a iew days. Every- thing connected with this jSIission station is satisfactory. During tin; midsummer vacation, the Rev. .A. C. Scarth and Lt.-Col. Kippen, of Lennoxvillc, took the services alterjiately, Col. Kippen also most kindly giving his alternate Sunday to Ascot Corner. The station on Moulton Ilill is in charge of Mr. li it chic and Mr. W. AVorthington, two of our students. These *•??»/' r "M h l'{: lr» i|f ; f 94 gentlemen walk out every Sunday and conduct a Sunday School, concluding with a short service. Their zealous services arc much appreciated by the good people in tlit> neighbourhood. This little gathering of Church peopK' have during the year purchased a small harmonium lor their Sunday services. 1 visit this station about once a term, examine the Sunday Schools and address the people.

Total, $919.44, I have to notice the establishment of the Sustentation Fund, and the envelope system last Easter, which, so far, have succeeded far beyond our exi^ectation. The members of the Missionary Union have been able, owing to the generous assistance of kind friends in the Parish, to undertake the support of Hannah Grey, a little Indian girl, at the Wawanosh Home, Algoma. The Parish register shews : Marriages, 7 ; baptisms, 19 ; burials, 15. ■i LEVIS.

Sunday School at 3 o'clock, average, 37 ; on Thursdays, Bible Class service, reading or sermon and choir-practice, attendance small, but, all appointments being considered, it has been a little better than during the pre- vious year.

For all purposes, the total is less than last year's, Ity about s^loO, but in that year w<'r(^ included a considera])h^ su)u for arrea.rs, and also $1(J0 obtained lor the endowment fund, so that, in reality, the local aniiual contributions have somewhat increased over those oi'the former year, and, at Easter, the AVarden.-< reported the conureu'ation cnlirtdy Tree from d(d)t.

Tlie I'und started in th(! ]))'evious year for this pur- pose, has been increased during the ]>ast year by only s^ilij, chieily because a claim, even more immediately pressiiii>\ had to be met in the repairs ol tlu; exterior of the Church, to the amount of ^'210. Iiuleed, about twenty loads of new stones had to be inserted in t/io walls, as sub- stitutes for those shattered l)y the weather. Here then is a hint lor readers v.ho may be interested in oreclinir any building of stone, to Sijcure the least perishable kind pos- sible. In order to augment the important Sunday School house fund during- tlm current year, the " willing w^orkers " of the l''arish are preparing for a Fancy Sale in the Spring, and any help in contributions in money, or materials, or work, wnll be thankfully received. 97 ITpon |]io wliolo, it is hoped that tlioro arc i^ood liToiiiids fonuucli ihankrul j^-ratiUfiUion, in ivgavd to the past y»'av's hi".' oi'lhc Parish.

PETETS CHURCH.— SHERBROOKE. The Rev. Isaac Brock rop -vts : — During the months of August, Soptomber, October, and November, I carried out and completed a systematic visita- tion of the whole of this extensive parish. As one of the results of that visitation, 1 am able to furnish th(> following parochial statistics : — There are at least 217 families of the Church of Ell inland in this parish, (at least that number, for some may have been overlooked.) and there are 44 per- sons not counted in the above families, either individual members of the Church, in families belom^ing to other Christian bodies, or otheruise. Tin; total Church popu- lation in the parish, as far as I have been able to asc'ertain it, is 1,091, the number of communic;auts is 317. Out of the 217 families, 115 are eiiher seat-holders in iSt, Peter's Church, or provided with seals through their relatives and friends. Of the remaining !u2 families, at hnvst 4U, perhaps several more, M'ould be. ^villing to take sittings in ISt. Peter's Church, if they could get them. Of the 44 single persons not counted with above families, 18 have sittings of their own, or are provided for; of the remainder, about 10 would probably be glad to take sit tings, if they could get them. A bona-lide Free Church would solve all our diiliculties of Church accommodation, for some tii.^e to come ; but, as this is a blessing not desired by many in the parish, some other means will have to be devised to provide for those who are at present practically excluded from our Church. During the past few months, a Church Hall, attached to the Church, has been 1)uildiiig. It is intended tor our Sunday-school, week-day ser\ ices, and other Church pur- poses. It will sup[)ly a want we have luiig felt. It will be a handsome and lolty hall, Go leet by oo. AVehope to open our Sundny-sehool in it, on the lirst tSunday of the new year, January 1st, 1882. The usual services of the Church have been carried on by the Rector and myself during ihe past year.
