 THE DIOCESE OF RUlM^irfS LAXi). 
 
 The Synod was opi^uod on "Wednesday, May 2'-h'd, 
 1877, by the celebvation ot Divine Service at hali'-pa^t 
 10 o'clock A.M. in St. John's Cathedral. 
 
 MorninL*- Praver was read bv the TJevs. Canojis Cxris- 
 dale and O'Meara. The Lessons were read by tin* liev„ 
 li. Geor^-e and the Rev. S. Pritchard. The Epistle was 
 read ])V the Ven. the Archdeacon of Cumberland. 
 
 The Bishop delivered the following Address instead 
 of a Sermon :

 Wlioii we look buck on the past yi'sir wehnvu y;roat cause for Ihanlc- 
 Culii'.'ss. 'J'hat wliich lias liccii I'oi' a ioni? i^^'rioil Mich a cc^ur^'c to the conn- 
 try did not trouldo us. Thci'c was a satisfactory iiarvcst. Later on the 
 eiierKctiit mi'asiires of till' aut liorities, with <iod's hlessinir, iireserved the 
 Province from the small-pox that raided so %irulently anions the Icelandic 
 iiiimii?rants. And when we loolv forward the picsp(>cis of tlie country are 
 brii^ht, indeed. Iininij;rant.s ai'e comiufi in lar<j;e numbers from the older 
 l*r(j\inces. The steanuMs are crowded. The result is ver,\- aiipreciable. — 
 ^Vinnipei? is j;rf)winur with marvellous rapidity, and other small tcnvns 
 be uu to rise up, while a considerable i!0()Ulaiion is bcimr scatteied over the 
 face of the whole Province, ^'al•ious (piestions that retariled the pro-rress 
 of thecountry are beinir settled. The railways have not been built with 
 all the despatch we could have wished, but they are constantly bein.ij: 
 pushed on, and there seems a probaliility ot a greater advance this year 
 than ever. Th" issuinu: of }iatents and the settlement of the reserv(^s seem at 
 lenfi;th to be ]ir()ce<'din;< satislactorily. A\'e are no lomrcu* Isolated. B\' 
 means of teleiirai)hlc communicatioir, connectint; us with the .States and 
 Canada, newspaper enterprise ])reseiits us ilaily with the latest tt'leii:i'an)s 
 from all parts of the v(n Id. Tlie telejiraph already has bei'U carrietl for 
 about a ihousand miles to the west of us. The expenses of living are con- 
 siderably less th ui tlu'j- have been lor some years. We can have in our 
 houses the conveniences and luxuries of modern life. We may look for- 
 ward to a near future when we shall have tasteful and substantial public 
 buildlnjis and residiMices and when the fertile land of this country will be 
 made to beautify their Hurroundinjjs. 
 
 Eut if as citizens we feci sladdcned by the signs of progress and prospei - 
 ity, wo have further reason as Churchmen to feel thankful for the marked 
 advance which ourChurtdi has made in the past year, and to be encour- 
 aged by it to renewed etlbrts. Wilhin eighteen months tive new churche.s 
 have been built and opened for divine service (four of them being conse- 
 crated), and another church has been considerably enlarged. Four other 
 churches are in cour.se of erection. These are all within the Province, 
 and represent contributions from ourselves of over, S10,IMX). Outside the Pro- 
 vince there has been a good d^al done in the erection of buildings at mission 
 statlon.s. 
 
 There has also been a considerable advance made in contributions 
 from the people towards the support of tlielr ministers. One congregation

 You have already learned from the report of the last Synod that the 
 'Clauses m the Temporalities' Act incoipora! int,' tlie Synod were removed be- 
 fore the Act ]iassed (air local Legislature. No ditliculty was raised in I'ar- 
 liamenf, butllie [Jeutenant-liovernor conside'-ed tna' as part of the North- 
 west Territories hiy within the bounds of the Synod they rciiuiied ti;e 
 sunctioii of a Dominion Act. 
 
 
 Accordiimiy ;vn ,\ct was introduced in 1h(> Dominion Parliament, and 
 ineetini; with no opposition passed the House of Comnions. IJut in the 
 livaniime the (p^(^stion liad been raiseil in the Senate ^\-ith respect to a 
 similar l?i!l, wliether all such AcN of Incorporation were not reserved for 
 th(! I^ocal TiCKislaturcs, and the .Iiabres irave this as their opinion vvlien they 
 were consulted. The conseepieiice was rh.at the Hill could not be carried fur- 
 ther, and as no solution of I he diliiculty has yel been mad.' tiie matter must 
 rest for the iireseiit. In accordani'e with the pow.-rs i^iven to the Synod by tlie 
 Tenipora.lities' Act, the I'lxeeii'ive Commit tee has prepared tbr ilu! Syi'iod a 
 Canon on Parochial < )r!j;an!zalion, by which, anionnf other tliinjj.s, the'duttes 
 of Cliurch\vard>'ns and Vestr\inen are detiiied. 
 
 The Executive Coaimittee also recomniends a Canon for [/,\y Headers 
 v/liich they trust will be useful. 
 
 A sub,j{>ct intimat(dy connected with nnr Church Avork, and in which as a 
 Church we must leel jiarticulavly interested, is that of Kducation. Not 
 niany years have jiassed since t!ie schools in our I'arishes throu'-choiit the 
 I'rovinci' were jart^eiy^ indeeij I m.ay say mainly, depondent on the l<;n'j;lisli 
 Socii't ies !uid friends that helped us. \\'heii, then, we look at the (piestion. 
 of the support of our Ministers, wi- must not fo'tjfet how much our jieopie 
 have alread.v taken ujioii themst'lves in tliese past few yi'ars years of maii>' 
 and siieci.Ml trials aiul ditticulties - in raisins^ salaries for schoolmasters, and 
 in some ca.ses buildinj; scdiools. I for one am not dissatislied with tlij pro- 
 Kress that has been me.de in Kducation. I do not nean that much progress 
 has been made in raisiip-r the (^ualiiicaticns of masters and so in increasin<; 
 the efficiency of teatO.iinu:. That will follow. A irreat deal had to bo done 
 ])t fore that could be touched. And a '4001I deal has been done. \ very 
 lar-re number of districts has been foniied And an inten^st has beeii 
 shown in raising' salaries that is very hopeful. p]t1iciency in the scdiool.i will 
 no doubt re-act in enconraj^inij .an increa.se of salary; but the foundation of 
 all etiicioncy lies in the power of adefpiately reiiiuneratin<;thc schoolmaster. 
 The etIicK'ncy d.'peiids on the qualification of the rnastc-, and thouffh in- 
 spection of schools and examinations fif teacliers may materially aid, there 
 must be first of all adequate compensation, and that wo may bo satisfied 
 from what we have alroadj' seen is simply a matter of the growth and pros- 
 perity of tlie Province.

 Advaiudng from Iliglier School Education, I luive to congratulate you 
 on tiie jiassing of an Act last session creating tlie University of 'Manitoba. 
 Un the whole it lias a constitution about as satisfactory as eould be devi.sed 
 for tiie immediate condition of things. It unites all the Denominations and 
 Coliegl's in tlie examinatiouK for Degrees in Arts, Sciences, Medicine, and 
 Law, J5y its recognition of denominational cidleges with their own internal 
 government secured to tlu'iu, it satislii's those who fei'l the lirst importanco 
 of a iH'ligious cliaracter and control while It does not prevent the future 
 allilialion of (^ollr'ges imlependent of .su(di directifm. It also at tlie same 
 time secures h)r the diti'erent denominations, witli the consent of their go- 
 verning bodies, the power of establishin.g in their Colleges a Faculty for 
 conferring Theological Degrees. I feel very much grutilied with the result. 
 All is gained that I desired.

 That this Synod desires to express its appreciation

 by the Yen. Archdeacon Cowley daring his late visit 
 to (Janada and England. And while they are aware 
 that many causes militated against a more successful 
 appeal financially spmdving, yet at the same time the)" 
 cannot but feel that if no other result sprang from the 
 Archdeacon's visit thar. the liberal oiler which Avill 
 shortly enable the erection of a suitable building for a 
 Ladies' College, that a substantial benelit has been 
 conferred not only on the Diocese and the Province,
