REPORT OP xnu FOR 1865. The Committee of St. George's Society beg leave to lay before the Annual Meeting of the Society their Report for the past year ; and, in doing so, have the satisfaction of being able to congratulate the Society on the flourishing Btate of its affairs, which has enabled the Committee to dispense their charity on i more extended and liberal scale than heretofore, and at the same time to meet punctually all their liabilities. The total amount of Receipts, (including balance of last year, of $390.34,) is $2794 88 Of Disbursements 2346 55 Leaving a balance in the Treasurer's hands of. . $448 33 Of this amount the sum of $30, received for three life- subscriptions, remains for investment ; $154.35, being a balance of Christmas distribution fund, to be disposed of hereafter; and the balance, $263.98, is carried over to the general fund of the Society, for charitable purposes. The above will be found in detail in the Treasurer's balance sheet. The present investments of the Society are as follow : — City Debentures, $125, paying interest at 6 per cent. Canada Permanent Building Society, $1000, upon which dividends amounting to 11^ per cent, have been declared for the last year. Yorkville Debentures, $100: interest at 6 per cent. Government Debentures, ''Phipps Fund," $1000: interest at 5 per cent. St. George's Day, the 23rd of April, 1865, falling on a Sunday, was duly observed, in pursuance of a resolution of the Committee, by the attendance of the ofiBcers and 16 ET. GEOROB'S society op TORONTO. members of the Society at Divine service, at the Church of the Holy Trinity, in the afternoon of that day. A special choral service was, by permission of the Rev. Dr. Scaddmg, the Incumbent, held on that occasion. The prayers were intoned by the Rev. G. T. Carruthers, and the Rev. R. Sandars, (one of the Society's chaplains,) preached a very eloquent and suitable sermon ; and the choir performed the choral service in a very eflfective and impressive manner. 1 he church was filled in every part ; and at the close of the sermon, a collection was taken up, and resulted, after pay- ment of some small necessary expenses, in an addition ot $46.15 to the funds of the Society. The Committee have the gratification of reporting, that the two entertainments held under the auspices of the So- ciety during the past year, proved in each case a decided success, and, after all expenses incurred were paid, resulted in a very handsome increase to the funds of the Society. The Promenade Concert and Annual Ball were held on Monday, the 24th of April, at the Music Hall, in the Me- chanics' Institute. The attendance was most numerous, the principal residents in Toronto shewing by their presence the interest taken in the Society and its charities ; and the amount carried to the charitable fund, after payment of all expenses, was $131. oG. The annual Pic Nic was held on the public holiday, the 14th August, at Mimico Grove, and was also very successful. The cash received for tickets sold was $319.50, resulting in a pro- fit to the Society's general funds of $142.28. The large tent belonging to the Society has been much im- proved in appearance, and its value increased by the purchase of a canvass wall, as suggested in the Report of the Committee of 1864. The canvass (120 yards) was bought in England by Mr. Hurd, at an expense including freight and duty, of $37. 94. Expenses of adding same to tent and other incidental expenses, $27.36. If COMMITTERS REPORT. *• The revision of the By-Laws recommended to bo made m ■the Committee's Report of last year, was intrusted to a Spe- cial Committee at the monthly meeting of the Society, held on the 3rd March last; and such Committee, after several meetings on the subject, agreed to a draft of the Revised By-Laws, to be submitted to the Society ; but in consequence of the necessary proportion of the members of the Society, viz., one-fifth of the corporation, not being present at any subsequent quarterly meeting, no action could be taken in the matter, beyond the reading the Report of the Special Committee, which was done at the Quarterly Meeting, held on the 7th April last. During the past year the relations of three destitute Knglish persons dying in Toronto were assisted in the expenses of the burials, at a cost of $11 to the Society. The members lost by death during the past year are— J. H. Gibson, Henry Warmington, Enoch Turner, and Robert "Winsor. The Committee regret that the Annual Subscriptions of Members have not been more punctually paid than in pre- vious years, atid that a large amount of arrears still remams due. The total number of members who have paid their annual subscriptions for 1865 is only 152,— Realizing the sum of - $389 50 Arrears of subscriptions received are on nn Payments by new Life Members are 30 00 The Committee have, at their weekly meetings and by the hands of their Sub-Visiting Committee, dispensed charity during the past year amounting to the sum of $464 75, and $22.50 from the "PhippsFund," and have also loaned $46.00 to destitute families. The persons relieved have, in many s, seen not only better davs, but have moved in ranks of society generally far removed from want; and it is gratifying to be able to state, that, in many instances, while relieving their immediate wants, the advice and recommendations given by members of the 18 8T. George's sooiett of Toronto. Committee to the applicants, have resulted in their obtaining 8ome permanent employment. The Committee have rigidly declined to afford giving con- tinued relief to the same applicantii, or encouraging in any way would-be pensioners on their bounty. The annual distribution of (Christmas Cheer took place on Saturday, the 2lkd ult., at the store of Mr. T. D. Harris, in King Street East, which was very kindly lent by him to the Society for the occasion. The Society is also indebted to Mr. Hiram Piper for the use of a stove and pipes, and for the labour of putting them up, and to Mr. J. H. Richey, for Platform Scales. Collectors of Special Subscriptions for the Distribution Fund had been previously appointed, and had canvassed the city in each ward. The result was the receipt of $1,030.07 in cash, and of a large amount of meat, tea, sugar, bread, and vegetables, in kind. As the collections were made from persons of all nations, so was the distribution of the Christmas Cheer given to all parties seeking relief and properly recom- mended, without regard to country or creed. The number of families relieved was 868, comprising on their own represen- tations, 3,812 persons, averaging upwards of 4 in each family. These 868 families consisted of — 312 English, 432 Irish, 30 Scotch, 41 Canadians, 18 Americans, ♦ 16 Colored, 3 Germans, 16 other nations and unknown. 868 The quantity of provisions distributed was Beef, 11,864 lbs. Potatoes, 310 bush. Mutton, 350 '' Tea, 50 lbs. Bread, 1115 loaves. Sugar, 24 lbs. The distribution commenced at 10 o'clock, A.M., and con- tinued without intermission until late in the evening. on ooumittek's repobt. 19 An analysia of the nationalities of the persons contributing to the fund, and of the amount collected, shews the foliowinir result : ~ * English $475 15 ™ 130 70 Scotch 119 00 Canadians HG 20 Americans 29 25 Unknown 48 97 Other Nations 65 80 Licensed Victuallers 25 00 Subscription from Bradford 20 00 $1030 07 A consideration of the above figures will convince every reader of this report, that the dispensing of Christmas Cheer to persons of all nations, with the necessary previous col- lections, issuing of recommendation papers, and of tickets, and the selection and purchase of provisions, entail on the Committee an amount of labour and expenditure of time, which can be but very inconveniently bestowed at Christmas, a period of the year when every business man feels that his time is more than usually precious, and his personal super- intendence more than ever required in the management of his own affairs. The relief now regularly afforded°for more than ten years past, and consequently generally looked for, has gradually increased to such dimensions, that the proper and judicious distribution of it becomes annually more diffi- cult, and indeed nearly impossible, in the limited time appli- cable for it, having a due regard to the recommendations of the subscribers to the fund, and to the comfort and satis- faction of the recipients of the charity. The Committee would, therefore, suggest to their successors in office, the prudence of confining (on the recurrence of Christmas) both their solicitations of subscriptions and their distribution of provisions to the English, or their immediate descendants. In making this suggestion, the Committee beg most cordially to thank the contributors to the late Christmas distribution fund, not only for the handsome donations received, but JO ST. GEORGE'S SOCIETY OF TOROKTO. especially for tho kind and friendly spirit in which such donations were given, thereby relieving the Collectors ro.n much of the thankless oftico of begging, and mvestnig them with the more congenial duty of becoming dispensers of their charity. ^_ , a, or 'in It will be observed that a balance of $154.35, less $85.37, accounts still unsettled, remains in the hand, of the Treasu^ rer for distribution: a balance which, considering the objects for which the fund was raised, the Committee consider is not fairly applicable to tiie general fund of tho Society, from which the English only are relieved ; and as part ot this sum (viz, $25 received from the Licensed V^etuallers Association,) was given with a special request that it should be laid out in the purchase of wood for the poor, the Com- mittee bog to suggest to their successors, that no be ter means of applying the whole sum can well be found unless it be thought, that (considering the extreme difficulty ot a fair distribution of a limited quantity of wood amongst a nearly unlimited number of poor of all nations and creeds), the division of the remainder of the fund between some of the charitable institutions of the city, to be by them dis- pensed in fuel to the poor and destitute, would not be the more satisfactory way of fulfilling the intentions of the con- tributors to the fund. The Society's Office, in Victoria Hall, is open every day, and the Secretary t've. ready to afford nformation to the public generally, ana »> applicants for reaef, as tothe rules and hours of meeting .. the- Society. The Committee con- tinue to find their oifice a most suitable and convenient place for holding their weekly and monthly routine meetings, and for any other matters connected with the Society; and wish particularly to call the attention of the public, and especiaUy of the fair sex, to the fact, that they have a respectable office where gentlemen, and even ladies, wishing to communi- cate such cases of distress as can be legitimately relieved by the Society, need not doubt of receiving respectful attention and any information that they may require. COMMITTEE a REPORT. 21 The Committee regret that so many En<,'H8hraen and persons entitled to become members of tho Society, still refrain froni join! ig tlieir countrymen in n work which can- not but be conbi I'ired as good and praiseworthy, whether as regarr' , i(s charitable objects, or the promotion of that mutual and friendly intercourse between our countrymen, which is expressly stated in the Society's by-luws to be ono of its principal objects. The Committee, on a careful consideration of the Society's ways and mean.s, of its funded property, and of its probable income from members' subscriptions, and the surplus to be anticipated from its annual entertainments, cannot conceal the fact, that with the exception of the small income derived from its permanent funded property, all its resources are of a very precarious nature, and dei)end on the personal and con- tinual exertions of its ofTicers and members, and on the inter- est which the inhabitants of the city take in the Society, and the confidence they feel in the trustworthy and judicious management of its affairs. This interest and confidence can only be kept alive by a simple and plain statement of the Society's transactions on all occasions ; and the Committee would therefoiu suggest that an account of the total weekly expenditure in charity during the past year, and of the distri- bution at Christmas, be prepared and inserted in the Globe and Leader, in anticipation of, and in addition to, the usual annual printed Report. It would be well to add the co dial thanks of the Society for the liberal contributions accorded them by the public; contributions to such an extent as to justify a remark made at the close of last year's Report: — " That the Society holds a high place in public estimation ;" and, in order to keep this high place, the Committee feel that the continued and- syste- matic exertions on the part of all the members are very essen- tial. "Were every member to induce another Englishman to join our ranks, the result would be very important to our financial condition. ROBERT SPRATT, President.
