E [401 J H( t^:ei'jpo:rt OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA, (WESTERN SECTION,) FOR 1880-1. REPORT OF THE HOME MISSION COMkiTTEE OF THE PRES- BYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA. (WESTERN SECTION, 1880-1.) li In layiog their Annual Report befo'-e the General Aisembly, the Committee record with gratitade the continued fjrati'ying proyre^s of their work, more especially in the reoiota and necessitous Home Mission fialdi, under th«ir care. An earnest effort to eqaaliza the receipts aod expenditure for the year has prevented the appuintmeat of miiny miasioaiiries, and compelled tbe cjmmittce to refuse many appeals. The Krtat drawback to our possesBing tbis great land is not so much tbe lack of men, as tbe lack of means. During tbe yeir many promis- ing stadents of our colleges have given themselves to tbe mission field, and the prospects are that still greater numbers will offer themselves ia coming years. This fact ought to provoke a much larger degree of liberality on the part of our people, so that the committee may be enabl- ed to take advantage of tbe missionary spirit tbat seems to possess our candidates for tbe ministry. An outline of the work accomplished daring the year in the more important fields under the charge of tlie committee, and in Presbyteries largely engaged in Home Mission work is herewith presented ; while in tbe apoondix to tbe report, there will be found complete statia- tics of all the mission statious and supplemented congregations belonging to tbis section of tbe churob : — LANARK AND BENfBEW. During tbe year very considerable progress bas been mide in consohdatins? the mission work in this Presbytery. The revival in the lumber trade hai bri.htened ihe prospects and encouraged tbe hfarts of our people, and as a reBult ihpy have been more prompt in meeting their obli^atioos, and in ocme cases have relieved the Home Mission Fund by contributing mure tban bad been promii-ed. Tiie former mission stations of Rostand Cobden, Balderson and Drnmmond have, with the aid of compara'ively small supplements, secured settlement, and are in a fair way of becoming Btlf- sustaining onuregatinns. The Mattawa field has been wrought with encouraging eucoess, and there is reason to be- lieve that as the Paci^c Railway works advance, our cause in tbat whole dibttict will be greatly strengtbened. Tbe Wilbprforce and Grattan fields have been strengthened by the addi'ion of a new station, where the prospects are good, and, as an oidi noi fu 1 so i> ksom '. Our S >l)b .tli Srho )ls nre aprriciiitcd and fiirly at'endod. Tne jihpspliute ujiniu.', unUsi a deuidcd c ange t'knH place, will not benefit ns mucli, as ihe majority (if thflmini ad limiird as theirs are, reveals an interest that io full of hope. For in both thiu anu the flrnt mentioned field Aylwiu ijnd the Dese:t a rcuid red icMon in the amount of aid requiretl from the Home Mission Fund cannot bo reasonably expected. Tlie timber trade ivbich was the chief source of wealth for years, has now been removed, and tha country is so broken and rugged as to be almost unfit for agrioaltural purposes, and yields but a meagrti return to the toil of the husbandman. In other regions, in clearing away the forest?, men were catting their way to wealth, in tbis wide district, in removing the timber, they were cutting their way to poverty. And though the region is rich in mmeral stores, /et until ihese are more largely developed but little wealth will be found within it. And henoe the support of ordinances will remain a pretty heavy charjo against the general Home Mission Fund of the church ior several years to ome. 3. Bearbrook and Cambridge. — Over tbis wide 'jnd more hopeful fie!d an ordained mission- ary was appointed during the year. And thou^'i hj has been in the field but a few months, al- ready snbstaLtial results of his faithful labort are beginning to appear. The attendance upon tbe Sabbath services in each of the four stations in the field is increasing ; and at South Indian the people are making arrange meuts ior tbe erection of a house oi worship which is greatly needec'. 4. Flantagonet. — This field was supplied durini; last summer by Mr. A. Lee, studant, whoEe terviues were highly appreciated and were productive of good. During the winter months forv- nightly supply were ^iven for the greater part of the time. A now church has been erected at Pendleton, wh'oh wili be ready for occupation in a few weeks. la another part of the field a new church is in course c! erection. 5. East Tem^lv ton. — This field is being supplied in counoction with Chelsea this summer, and it IS to be hored that ere long an ordained missionary may be obtained to take cUargo of tbe whole field. TLe position was never more hopeful for ouv church than at present. ti. Huil. — Th a station is supplied in connection with uochesterville by the Kev. Jos. White, B. A. He eays, "Oar ouuse at the present time looks mure hopeful than it has dona since my connection with it. A fresh efi'ort is being mnde to reduce the debt on the church property. Al- though tht increase in families is only one or two, yet more are in church fellowship tb-tj ever before. Oui- Sabbath School is still ^mall. We hope to do better things ia the future." rETELBOBO'. The field occupied by the Pelerb;ro' Presbytery is a wide one, embracing four townships in the Oocuty of Haliburtsn, and nine in the County of Peterboro, being in extent seventy miles by forty. Daring the past year Haliburton and Mmden have been ond'"'' tbe charge of Bev. B. Steven- son, an ordained missionary. There are 46 families, 104 uemuers, and 103 S. S. S'^holars in connection with the four stations, constituting this field. The Harvey, Chandos and Burleigh, and Stony Lake grouiis were supplied during the sum- mer months by three student catechists, and during the winter by an ordained missionary. The Presbytery were g'ad when they succeeded in secui'irg the sorvices of an ordained missionary for the winter months, as experience had taught them that the ^osse^: of our cause during tbis period, when the field was left nuoocupied, swal'owed up the gains of the summer. The resalts bave been encouraging, und clearly show that the want of superintendence in the winter, has been a great obetaole to success in these mission fields, and if permanence is sought, greater attention mast be paid to it in t);e future. Several of the stations oonteiuplate the erection of charoh buildings. In this group we have 66 families and 107 members. The Presbytery intends to send a missionary during the present summer to the Township of Cardiff, lying further north, to attend to the interests of oar church in a district that is filhng ap rapidly with settlers. BABBIK— MISSION WORK IN THE Ml)S£6KA FIEIJ>S. (Mr. Findlay's Rejrort.) I, — Sop?LT.— I have given supply to Braoebridge and assisted stations during the term now drawing to a do s, with the exception of three or four Sabbaths when I wf.s compelled to deaist work owing to ill health. On these days the friends la Bracebridge provided supply for the pulpit, and indeed urged me to take the much needed reat for which I feel very much the better, and ve^y thankful to the friends here for their thoughtful kindness. Partial supply has also been gi^en to the stations north of this as follows : In visiting the flald known as the Nipissing group I made enquiry as to their decire and willingnesf to pay for supply ddring the winter months. I found the dosira slron^; and received a pledge from each of the stations for the amount necessary to cover expenses. Correspondence was held with Mr. John Oeddes, Licentiate, who agreed to undertake the work for the winter mouths. The follow- ing stations hive been supplied by Mr. Geddes, viz. : Mecunoma, S^TOog, Stony Lake, Eagle Lake, Gommoada Creek, Commonda liako, Nipiising and PowaBsao, eight in all, «nd tftkiog in the won Ged( to hi infoi labo may APPENDIX. T. in by in the territory cornered by as many townships. Supplying two ol these each Sabbath Mr. Q. would be able to visit 3ach atation once in four week? . In adJUion to this regular work, Mr. Geddes has acoomplished considerable m the way of pioneering in new territory ly'ng contii.nous to his field, which will result in the formation of two or three ne ' e'.ations next teason. From information received from independent Eonrces we have every reason to believe tbut Mr. Geides' labors, which have been zealonly performed, have been highly appreciated, and we i/ray that they may be highly blessed to thod** whu have enjoyed them. Mr. S. Ar.nairong, cateeiiist was appointed to supply the group known a;i the Emsdale field. After going ove;- the grouno. once Mr, A. returned Lome, reporting that the field was not ready to reouive him. These stations have since received partial supply, as noted below. Mr. C. B. Hemming has been giving supply fortnightly during the winter months in the Stisted field. In January last word was received by the Convener of ihe Presbytery's H. M. Cora, that the Presbytery of Guelph had appointed Mr. il. Knox, Catechist, to labor in this field, they providing bis salary for three monlhs. On reporting himself on the field, Mr. Knox was appoint- ed lor eleven Sabbaths to the following stations, viz. : Huntsvillo, Grassmore, Knox Ch., Chafl'ey, Elmsdalo, Katine and Eurke's Falls. I have word from tha field that the eorvicss-of Mr. Kncx are highly appreciated by our people in these stations, his meetings being well at;eDded, and a considerable interest being kindled in things spiritual. Mr. Knox will doubtless report at the close of labors. The hearty thnnks of the field and of the Presbytery of Barrie are due to the Presbytery of Guelph for the very practical form their interest in our work here has taken. Other Presbyteries havibg like zeal, but having no field within their bounds in which to exercise it, will always find scope, especially between the months of October and April in Muskoka. Fort Sydney and associated stations have also enjoyed four Sabbaths' supply during the Christmas holidays from Mr. Hardie, of Knox College, who spent the past summer with them. Th'jse stations have sent in a numerously signed petition praying for a continuation of Mr. Hardie's services during the coming summer. Their new church which, mainly through the kindness of friends elsewhere, they have succeeded in erecting is nearly complete, and will, wo expect, be formally opened this summer. II. — Changes in the Field.— I would recommend that the following changes in the field be sanctioned by the Home Mission Committee, They are recommended in order to give greater efficiency to the labor of the missionaries, as well as to open up new fields, which would otherwise be destitute : (1) That the field known as Stisted be divided into two groups, to be known as Stisted and Port Sydney, respectively ; the former comprising Stisted, Hoodstown, Stanleydale and Axe Lake : the latter comprising Port Sydney, Bethel and Bronell. Geographically, the fields are dis- tinct from each other, and under the old grouping involved a great deal of unnecessary travel — they were so worked only through stress of oircumstnnces. But the field has now grown beyond the care of one missionary, Of the above stations Hooietown received no supply last eeaEon — though an organized station — owing to a difficulty in getting a suitable place to meet in. This difiionlty will be removed next season, we are assured. Axe Lake is a new station not yet organ- ized, situated at the corner of the townships of Monteath, McMurrich, Osrdwell and Stisted. They have petitioned for supply and organization in due time, and promise to do their utmost to sup- port ordinances among themselves. Bronell is also a new station which received an occasional service trom Mr. Hardie last summer on a week-day, and is now prepared to do its part in the way of support. (2) The Port Carling field. I would recommend that the foUowing change be effected here, viz.: that the Mcintosh section be dropped for this season. That service be given to Fort Carling every Sabbath, and in connection with it Deebank and Raymond receive alternate supply. My reasons for this change are as follows : Port Carling earnestly desires weekly ser- vice, and promises to support liberally if it is obtained. Mcintosh station, through the leaving of .settlers for other parts, is now reduced to four families adhering to our cause, and these are with- in reasonable distance of either Port CarUng or Deebank. Those remaining do not promise any- thing definite for the (doming season, and seem not to expect supply under their changed circum- stac . . J 1 following changes have also be^n found desirable in the fields occupied by the Students Missir iry Association of Knox College. The Nipissing fields, by taking in three new stations, viz iLcVetty's, in the Township of Mills, Ely, in the Township of Armour, and Callander, on S. E. ^ at the j auction of the Canada Central & Pacific B. Boads, has become too large to be worked ivantageously by two mission" -ies as formerly. The Association have generously placed a third missionary on this field for the coming season, so that they will support at least five laborers in these districts this year. As there are two or three points contiguous to the Baysville field where stations ought to be planted, that field has also been sub divided, the Association of Knox College retaining Baysville, Robinson's (fornieriy Marsh's,) and Yorks. Uffington and two new stations — one in the Township of Oakley to the east, and another in the Township of Byde to the south— being assumed by the Missionary Assooirtion of Queen's College, Kingston. We take it as making a new era in our work here that the sympathies of this Aasooiation are enlisted in our behalf in this district. We trust that as the field still further devclopes, as doubtless it will, the Association of Queen's will continue their kindly interest in the work. Mr. McDonald, who labored last season within our bounds under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Aasooiation of St. Feter'8 Church, Bocheater, returns this seuson. He will find ihe field .. i vi. APPENDIX. which we have marked In our missionary map as St. Peter's rea(]y to receive Lim, To meet the wants of this field as thus arranged we will require for the coming season a staff of at least fifteen missionaries, eight of these boini^ under tlie Preibytory directly, and seven un- der the care of the Associations above mentioned. At the meeting of Prt sbytery in November last, arransjements were made for bolding mission- ary meetings in all the stations, Messrs. Thompson and Geddes to take the north side of the field Mr. Burnet, of Alliaton and myself the central, and Mr. Dawson, with Mr. Sinclair, of Oro, the south. Mr. Thompson han doubtless, ere thin, reported tbe discharj^e of duty iu the north. Ow- ing to my ill health at the time, and consequent mability to staud mucb exposure, Mr. li. and I hsld only 9 missionary nieetingfl. Thepe, as a rule, were well atttnde.l, a'ld the in erest mani- fested quite equal to former years. At most of the stations tliin visited araugeoients were made for contribulions— through Missionary As^ot'iatious— in aid of the Home Mission Fund. I doubt not that the result of Mr. Burnet's earne-t, ineresting nddresst-s will be an increased interest in tbe ni!«siV>n work of the church, and this monifesti'd by increased contributi lua not ouly for tiie work at home, but al o for the general work of the church at large. I took a^vanta^e of Mr. Burnet's presence on Sabbah, the Kith Jan'y — ho taking the work in Bractbridae, ito., — to visit the station at Uilington, where I ordained to the oJhoe of Eldership Messrs. John McCJullond and William Allan, who had been duly elected tlieietj by the mtmbers in September last. I also to'jk advantage of the rest given me by the friends here to visit the stations at Port Sydney and Brunell on the Olh of February, to complete their arrangements for the comieg Bum- mer. As instructed by the Presbytery, I have correspond' d with the chsiirraan of the Managing Committee m each station, requestin;? tut in t) foiwari to th-? Couvent-r of the Presbytery's H. M. Comm ttee the amount they are likely to ooutribuie for the support of ordinances during the coming summer. These, I trust, will be received iu time so that the Presbytery may have before them all the information necessary before asking grants for these stations. The prospects of the field for the future, I may say in conclusion, are very hopeful. From the past we have reason to take counme. When we remember that in '76 we hud but sixteen stations all told, and that these were supplied by five ruissiouaries, that now we have fifty sta- tions requiring the labors of fifteen missionaries, we may well ask, " What hath God wrought ?" Without one exception almost, we know that our people in these stations, while thankful for the pjst for the care which they have received from the church they love, are also very hopeful for the future, and are looking forward with r.easure to the appearance among ihem again of those who bring with them the word of life. Ti visit thes4 stati.'us in turn duiint^ the comparatively limited period at my dispisal for so doing, will give me a very busy summer. From the middle of May, when tbe roads become fit for travel, to the ma of September, when the Student Mia- sionarifs withdraw from tbe field, will give me juct twenty Sabbaths. I trust that I uny, in the disc*iHrigation. In Paris Presbytery, old St. Andrew's, East Oxford, has been revived and a missionary appointed for the Eiimmtr, in the hope of gatberijg together the con- gregation, which has become scattered and disorganized. In London and Kingston very oranifest progress has bten made, and in all the older Presbyteries the work of consolidation goes steadily forward. In many of the supplemented congregations and stations in the Province of Quebec, where the population is largely French lloman Catholic, little more can be done than to maintain ordinances among the comparatively small numbers of Presbyterians, who are ardently attached to our church. The committee feel that, while they cannot hope for increase, or that tbeBe congregations will ever become self-supporting, they cannot, nevertbolesa refuse tbem aid. The scheme sanctioned by the Assembly three years ago for the appointment of ordained missionaries to large mission fields for a period of years, is now beginning to bear fruit. la many Presbyteries such misBionarif^s have been appointed, and the results are of the most gratify- ing character. For the present the outlay may be greater, but the future of these congregations will more than oompeneate for the monies expended. SAULT BTE. MABIE. The Bevd. Wm. Gallagher was appointed to this field In April, 1880. Tho Rev. J. R. Mao- Leod, the former missionary, labored earnestly and succesjtuUy, and left it in a much better condition than when he found it. The population of the district is however very scattered, and the people unable to give much for the support of ordinances. A debt still remains upon ths church, which cripples their energies and retards our progress. Mr. Gallagher preaches every Sabbath at Sanlt Ste. Marie, and also at some point in the township of Korab. In addition to hie regular field, he has aleo during the winter visited McDonald Township, Plnmmer Township, MoPbees Valley, The Bruce Mines, Thessaly, Day Township, Hilboro Dock, Talbott Township, and Saint Joseph's Island, preaching as occasion offered to coneregations of from twenty to forty, and visiting the Presbyterian families in those districts. Church organization and ad- ditional missionaries are urgently required to overtake the great spiritual destitution that pre- vails in this region. Mr. Gallagher says : "Earnest ministers of Christ entering these fijidt at the present time wcnld be the means of sowing many of the good seeds in the soil of human hearts. May men who shall not grow weary in well doing be sent into these new places to plant and sow for the eternal harvest Although they may have sometimes to sow in tears yet tbey shall come after a while with joy carrying their sheaves with them.' '* During the three weeks that I was absent from the Sault, I drove about 280 miles, con- ducted ten meetings, visited twenty-five families and baptized four children. Other children were offered for baptism, but your missionary could not recognize them as proper subjects of bap- tism as the parents were neither communicants in any church nor were they disposed to be." Regarding our prospects at Sanlt Ste. Marie, ho says : " On the sixteenth of January last we observed the ordioance of the Lord's Supper. Six new members were then added to the com- ^pti« APPENDIX. mnnion roll, foar by oertifieate and two by profeision of faith. The number of oommanicanti now on the roll is thirty-five. One man, who was an elder, and hia family left the field last ■pring, Bhortly after I oame into it; another member left last fall, and another family pak-poae going away to Iowa the beginning of next Bummer. One family of adherents has oome iuto the field doring tbe year. The very small retarns of last harvest and the dull prospects of a railway being made into Sault Ste. Man' "), have inclined many of the people in this part of Algoma to dispose of their property as sooa as possible in o^der that they might oast their lot elsewhere. Henoe. onr prospeots for building up a Presbyter, an Charoh at the Sault are at present any- thing but encouraging. " Within the bounds of my field there are tv,o or three more families not included in the plaees mentioaed above. The number of PrsBbyterian families in tbe whole of the Sault Ste. Marie Mission Field is about twenty-seven. Now, many of these are able to oojtribute little or nothing, therefore it is evident that if 9300 can be raised only by speoial means, ooniiderabla must eome from persons outmde of our church." UAMIXOULrM ISLANDS. Bev. James Ferguioo hts ooeupied Manltawaning during the winter months. During the present summer months the field is supplied by students. It is hoped that Mr. MoEay, who oooupied this district so suocessfally for many years, will again return. No spocial reports have as yet, been received from Mr. Ferguson or the cateohist, who occupied tbe fiuld during the past winter. BBCCE MIKES. In addition to the visit of Mr. Gallagher to Bruce Mines, Mr. Fred. W. Johoson supplied it with gospel ordinances during the past winter. PBIKCE ARTHUR'S LANDINa AMD lOBT \fILUAH. Last October, the Rev. D. McKeracLcr, for many years the efliaient missionary of Prinoe Arthur's Landing, resigned bis pastoral care of the field, with a view to accept a call to Wallace- burg, Ontario. The Committee appointed tbe Bev. James Herald, of Dundas, for t'ae period of six months, and at tbe meeting in March be was, at the urgent request of tbe congregation there, re-appointed for another year. The state of onr cause at these points will be best understood by the following extracts from letters received from Mr. Herald, the first dated February 3rd, and the latter April 27, 1881. I have delayed writing to you in rererence to our cause nutil I should be able to do so from my own personal knowledge. When I came here I found the church weak as regarutj numbers, but, I am happy to say the few members of it were good devoted Presbyterians. In order that I might be able to report correctly as regards the progress or otherwise of the church during the term of niy engagement, I asked tbe two excellent elders to give me an accurate account of the attendance at each service. Tbe result shews the average aggregate attendance in Prince Arthur's Landing to have been for tbe last three mouths as follows :— November, 70 ; December, 78 ; January, 06. The largest attendance was one hundred and five. At "the Land- ing " we have also a weekly prayer meeting. The attondance at which, though at fi.et no more than three, has increased to twenty-two. The smallness of the place, with its other two protestant ohurohes with their faithful and efficient ministers, does not admit of rapid growth. Until it becomes larger than at present our church can only increase in numbore to a very limit- ed extent. I have re. jonable grounds for believing, however, wo have not yet reached our limits. In regard to Fort William, I found the cause weak there, with this disadvantage, that the field is exceedingly limited. So far as I know at present we have all the Pre..byterians, or very nearly all, that are connected with the church in this place. Tbe few we have are zealous and devoted workers. They have an excellent church building, on which there is a pmall amount of debt which they hope to remove this winter. We have a Sabbath school in both places, with very elfioicnt teachers, and under them the work is prospering as much as can reasounbly be expected. The average aUendauce at tbe Landing is about 45, and at Fort WiUiam 16. The people at the Landing are sanguine as to tbe future growth and prosperity of the place. Such is a fair statement of our Church's position here at present. We are not strong, uat wo do not compare unfavorably with the other protestant churches. Our attendance is aa good as theirs, except in the eveninf^s when the Methodists have larger meetiuKs. The congregation at the Landing owns valuable property and has uo debt. Also a good mauso with two and u half acres of land beautifully situated, and commanding a fine view of the magnificent bay and its islands. They have also u good site for a chur>«h. It is believed tbat Prince Arthur's Lauding will bccomo an important place. It is at the head of the lake navigation and will be connuotud with all the leading towns and cities by means of the Canada i'aoilic liailway. Its undeveloped mines of gold and silver and iron must soon become a source of wealth and a cause of iuuruasu t(j the town. I should add that the ladies of the Landing had a baii^aar this winter, the proceeds of which, umoimting to 9'J!'iO, go to a fund they are forming for the oreotiou of a oburob. one APPENDIX. 11 At Frinos Arthur's Landing the attendance has increMed from 70 in November to 124 reaching on one Sabbath 154. At Fort William the attendance oontinncs about the same at in last report. The field there is exceeding limited, and we have already got all the people that are likely to connect tbemselvea with our church. The few members and adherents that we have, however, take a warm interest in the work of our church, and if the place grows, the prospects ar« that we may have a good congregation there also. The friends of the ohuroh totre deserve great credit for the zeal they have shown in erecting a very neat and comfortable plaoe of worship. On the 17th inst., the Sacrament to the Lord's Sapper was dispensed at the Landing. Wu had oa that day the largest congregation we have ever bad. Throughout the whole of that day's services, although necessaiily more protracted than usual, the deportment of tho people was most becoming, and tbeir interest in the work did not flag. Permit mo here to say that I have experienced mush pleasure in my werk among this people. I have always felt supported in it by their warm interest and sympathy. Tbe number of communicants on the 17th was much larger ihan it had ever been before, which shows a growing interest in the cause. There wore thirteen new members admitted by the session on profession. We have now, our people tell mo, tbe largest morning congregations in the Landing. As a rule, our plaoe of meeting is, I may say, filled in the evenings. I regret that we have not the means at present to build a church on the excellent site owned by the congregation. Our Wednesday eveuinja; meetings still continue good. Tbe largest number we have had at one meeting has been 30. The number ranges from 20 to 29. Mr. Herald adds that Mr. McKeracher, the former missionary, daring whose ministry the church at Fort William was built, and also tbe lecture room at the Landing, ia still sp*ken of with iiiucb respect by the people at both stations. CANiDA PACIFIC BAILWAY, Oaring last summer, at Mr. MoKeraoher's earnest reqaest, a mit^sionary was appointed for the men along the line of the Canada Pacific Railway from Fort William. Mr. Donald MoCan- nel. Queen's College, the missionary appointed, proved himself to be admirably adapted for the work. From bis report sent to tbo committee we extract the following. After describing his journey on an open flat oar 150 miles from Fort William into tbe wilderness, he says: — Making enquiries I found that my parish extended from the ballast pit at Martin station 120 miles from FortWilliam, to Eagle River, 170 miles from Winnipeg. Thus my mission fiela was 110 miles long, but the breadth was not by any means report ionate to the length, being only aixty.six feet. In speaking of the stations on tbe Cftnada Pacific Railway ft must not be sup- posed tbat they are in, or in the immediate vicinity of, prosperous towns and villages and a well settled vicinity. On the contiary, although sidings are put in for stations every ten miles, frequently there is no station house or indeed a house of any kind withia twenty miles. The nearest settlement is tbat of Fort Francis between 80 and one hundred miles to the south, and Thunder Bay and Manitoba, east and west, hundreds of miles away. To the north, with the exception of an occasional Hudson Bay post and a few wandering Indians, the nearest settlement is on the other sido of the pole in the penal colony of Siberia. This is literally "the great lone land," Anywhere away from the portion of the road under construction, a person might travel hundreds of miles and see no living creature larger than a squirrel or a rabbit. Tbe houses tor the men are divided into tbree parts, tbe kitchen at one oud, the sleeping room at tbe other, and tbe dining room in the centre. The roof is waterproof or otherwise ac- cording to the material it is composed. I was always given what was considered the driest part of the room, and on the wtiole fared very well, although on one or two occasions the friendly aid of an umbrella and a water-proof coat was necessary to mako tbo bod tenable. Services were usually held in the dining room, so that those who might not be disposed to attend would bear even if they remained in the sleeping room. The Liiwies are of all nations and forms of religi- ous belief. They might almost be described in i'ae language of Scripture as being "out of every nation under hoaven." Roman Catholics and Proteetiiuts are about equally divided, the majority of tbe latter are Presbyterians. Father Baxter— a Jesuit priest— ministers to the spiritual wants c! the former. Tbe men as a rule were anxious to have the Gospel preached unto them, and regularly attended — Roman Catholics as well as Protestants. Owing to the distance I had to travel — all on foot— I could only hold two services a month in each of the different eampi, and in some camps not that often. Men were couing and going continually, su that in many instan- ees thotio to whom I preached when going up tbe line were all away, and their places supplied by new hands, wben I returned. Tbis being so, tbe result of my labors was not so evident as otherwise it migbt have been, but I trust tbat tbe seed sown has been carried away by many, to bring forth fruit in due season. I huld altogether eighty services on tbo liuu. Once, twice or thrice on Sundays according to the part of the line I happenoi to be on. Evory day was Sunday with mo, and every evening some of the mon were ready to atteiid service. There was some work done by certain parties on Sunday, but as the terms of contract expressly prohibit Sunday labor, there is very littlo open deiccration of tho day. I heard bat little profanity, snd, owing to tbeabsenco ul Intoxioating liquors, quarrelling and lighting are, in tho strict sense o( tbe term, unknown. ill '* APPENDLY My work was a pecnliar one, bat on the whole, I have reason to thipV I spent a profitable summer. I am sure it was a pleasant summer to me, and it would have been still more so but for the myriads of mosquitoes and sand flies which made the day a torture and the night a sea- son of terror. As might be expected in a country into which all supplies have to be brought hundreds of miles, everything required commands almost fabulous prices. Half way between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg hay is worth $120 per ton, potatoes 96 per bnshel. Tbe latter were, last May, sold for ten cents a piece. They were not then used as an article of food but as medicine. Doctors attend to tbe bodily ailments of the men, aud like the missionary, their quickest, best, and only way to pass up and down the line is on foot. The best the district afforded was always at my disposal, whether pork and beans, a bed on tbe lining room table, a drink of water out of a shovel, were freely given and all thankfully accepted. My thanks are due to the contractors for their kindness shewn in many ways ; also to the sub- contractors and engineers who endeavored as far as possible to make my sojourn amongst them pleasant and agreeable. Bev. D. McEerraoher, of T>rinoe Arthur's Landing, proved a true friend, and from his experi* enoe on the line, was an inva. <)le counsellor in everything pertaining to my work on the Can- ada Pacific Railway. Appended to this report Mr. MoOannel appends a tabulated statement of the services held every day, from the time he reached his field until he left it, the points at which he preached, and tbe number in attendance. It is also worthy of mention that the men paic" the misaionary in full, and were exceedingly grateful for his labors. NSW WESTMINSTER, BRITISH COLUMBIA. Mr.Jamieso7i's Report, Owing to so many removals from this place during the past year, I have to report a consider able decrease in every part of our congregational work, except the financial. As we have made a change in our ecclesiastical year, I do not give the usual details. The figures would include those given last year for three months and a half. Notwithstanding the deorease in r:imber«, I am happy to say we ar? able to report an increase in our income. The total receipts for the year ending Deo. Slat, 1880, wore $1,217.75 ; the principal payments were, salary, $800 ; new fence and sidewalk, $l4l ; and to missionary and benevolent schemes, by the Ladies' Missionary As- sociation, $114. The latter sum was made up by six or seven zealous ladies oolleoting monthly 12 i cents (our smallest coin) from each one connected with us who may be willing to give in this systematic manner, and hardly any ono refuses. Any donations in addition are also received. Tbey were all astonished to find at the end of tbe year that tbe amount was so large ; and it gives me tbe greatest possible pleasure to be able to say that all the money was fairly and openly contributed by our own people, aud that we had no occasion to resort to soirees or bazaars, or rallies, or oyster suppers, or neck tie socials, much less to raffles or theatricals. I may also report that in addition to the regular services in town, I conduct a service every Sabbath at 1,30 o'clock, and every Wednesday at 12 30 o'clock, at the Penitentiary, as Protestant Chaplain, appointed by tbe Dominion Government about two years ago. All tbe Protestant convicts must attend— or rather all who will not enroll themselves Roman Gathohcs. There are now eighteen, and tbey are of various nationalities aud races and religious deoominations. It is a threat pleasure to me to attend there, especially the last year, as so much earnest attention ia given by most of them, and I believe a very great amount of good is being done. I am sorry to say that our ministerial staff has been again diminished by tbe departure of Mr. McGregor, from Victoria. No successor has yet arrived, though one is expected. It is only a few years since a Presbytery was organized, aud already three of its members have left the country, leaving four members on the roll. And one of these is about to leave hia congregation, and perhaps the Province. Suc.^ has always been the character of our work out here. Oc- casionally things take an upward turn and we make a little progross for a year or two ; then all our bri{,'ht prospects are blighted, and back we go to our chronic condition— "neither dead nor alive !" For mstancn, when Mr. McGregor oamo hero eleven years ago, he found three Presby- terian ministers at work, and now he leaves Just five, four of them in the Presbytery. FBINOE ALllEBT. At the meeting of the C/ommittee in October, the llcv. James Sieveright, of Godorioh, was appointed to tbo Prince Albert mission, aud immediately left for his distant field of labor, and airivud in Novetnlxir. Hince that timo he has viei Qd m1 the stations connected with the settle- luuut aiul roportH as follows. They are seven in number : 1. Prince Albeit is the llrst in importance. Presbyterian population, forty-two families, not iucluding fourteen Creu famihes, who have not removed to the Indian reserve. Two things are OHHoutiul tu future progri^ss— tbo erection of u church aud manse, and having two servioei every Habbath. The attendance, considering the cold, uncomfortable building, fa enoQuraging — frniuontly over one iiundrod. The Foreign Missiou Committee have given two acres as church l)roperty on the front of their lot, and ton acres farther back as a glebe. A building committee have buuu uppuiutud, uud a vigorous effort will bu put forth to erect suitable buildiugs. The era APPENDIX XI 3» of log buildings is nearly at an end. Several briok edifices have been ereoted, and that will likely be the fatare material. Building operations cost at least twice as much as in Oatario. Without outside aid, it will be impossibl'' to complete buildings necessary to hold our own as a denomina- tioD. Prince Albert is on the borderland of civilization. The outcries of Pagan Sioux, celebrat- ing their religious rites, often intermingle with the sounds of Christian prafse and prayer. 2. — M'fieth's, down the river, oompriesB eighteen families — thirteen Presbyterian. Three more intend to settle on their claims in the spring. The nearest family is five miles; the farthest fifteen. A belt of firs four miles long intervenes. Beyond, a settlement has been begun, never yet visited by any minister. Some progress has (near the forks of the river) already been male in the M'Beth settlement for the erection uf a place of worship. 3. — Flett's, twenty-two miles south, near the forks of the road where the Winnipeg and Garlton trails meet. It contains seventeen families— all Presbyterians ; four more to settle in the spring. A building committee has been appointed, and a site given for a church and burying- ground. 4. — Bed Deer Hill, twelve miles south. Four Presbyterian families ; nine of other denom inations. 5. — Bidge, twelve miles soath-west. Eleven Presbyterian families ; twenty of other de* nominations. A church was ereoted in this settlement during the ministry of Bev. H. M'Eellar. It was resolved that year, to remove it to a more central locality. No agreement coald be arrived at as to the site. The timber now lies useless for building purposes, in several localities ; a pr- -^^ical illustration of the folly of trying to bring a church to every man's door. There is hope of . new edifice even here. C— Miner's, fourteen miles west. Eleven Presbyterian families. Indian element pre* dominates. 7,— Carrot Kiver, forty miles s ith-east by winter trail, ^oout fifty by the summer one. The only houses the whole way are at the Indian reserve, on the bank of the South Saskatchewan, which must be crossed going to Carrot Biver. A journey there alone is by no means unattended with danger. The shafts of my sleigh broke about halt-way in tho wilderness. After kindling a fire, and spending three hours in the vain attempt to repair them, there was no resource left but to walk with my horse fourteen miles, over an unknown trail, ignorant whether I would laud at Fort Lacorne or the place I was anxious to reach— the thermometer forty degrees below zero. I was fortunate to arrive at the plnce of my destination at four o'clock in the morning. That even- ing I preached to an audience of nineteen persons, including one Cree. The present statistics are eight families, and twenty-eight young men who have taken up claims ; nearly all Presbyter- ians. It is one of the most fertile spots of the North-West, Other eettlements near Carrot Biver, Pai-Wah-Nah, Lacorne, and Stony Creek. Mr. Sieverigbt adds ;— It is plain one missionary cannot do anything like efficient work, in a field so extensive among Presbyterian families scattered over a region ninety miles long '^.nd twenty broad. All these statiouj are situated in tracts of land, excellent in quality, and increa. ing rapidly in papula- tion. There has been no preaching at Carrot Bi'v , the Bidge, or T^'uer's. Even with this abridgement ul his labors, the health of the last missionary has been seriously impaired by ex- cessive work. There are only two ways ot it : either supply a sufiioient force of missionaries to overtake the work, or else abandon half the stations, as has been practically done for some time past, and allow denominations more zealous to occupy the field. At least two additional laborers are needed. Who can doubt the ability and willingness of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, to enter the wide doors of usefulness God, .'n His Providence, has throvru open to it in the North- West? From letters received recently, Mr. Sieverigbt states that at Prince Albert monthly oontribu- tions are now taken up for the sapport of ordinances, in addition to weekly collections at every diet of worship. The building committee are actively at work obtaining subscriptions for the now church building. This summer tho school room or lecture hall of the church will bo completed — 26 X 35— of brick, heated by hot air, and costing some 92,0UU. At tho Bidge and Minor dis- tricts the materials are on the ground for tho erection of a church, and at Cameron and M'Buth settlements satisfactory progress is being made in tho same direction. Thu oompletiou of these buildings, it is aoQfideutl> believed, will result in an increase of membership, and a deeper interest in our cause. EDMONTON, N. W. T, Owing to ill health Mr. J. Duncan has been unable to proceed to Edmonton, to which he had formerly been appointed, and has spent the winter in Prince Albert assisting Mr. Sicvutight. As bo has now returned to Minitobu at the request of tho Pruabytory, his appointment to Edmonton was uancnlled. Mr. A. B. Baird, M. A., was appointed to Kduiontuu for three years at a salary of 9'JOO per annum, and travelling expenses to the tield, with the understanding that the people contribute VilOO of the salary during tho first year. Mr. Baird has, during the paet winter, been attending theological lectures iu Edinburgh, where he has recoivod the degree of B. D. lie it now in Uet- many, but expects to returi in September, and proceed to hie dutaut field. xiu APPENDIX. MANITOBA. VISIT OF BET. C. B. FITBLADO TO THE NOBTH-WBST. In July last the Cub-Committee, learning that Bev. C. fi. Pitblado, of Halifax, was abont to visit the North-West, asked him to place his services at the disposal of the Presbytery of Mani- toba for three months. Mr. Pitblado agreed to do so, and visited Prince Albert and other fields in the Presbytery. From his report we extruot the following : — The plan which I adopttd under the direction of the Home Mission Committee of the Presby- tery was (1) to see as much as I ooald ot the new pioneer settlement ; (2) to see the ansettled counf ly and Prince Albert mission ; (3) to se3 the old settlements where the difficulties and hard- ahips of pioneer life had been largely overcome. On the route which I took these three objects have been attained as well as it was possible with the time at my disposal. In indioating the way I travelled I feel tliat it is quite unnecessary for me to describe the localities, as their posi- tion and charaoteristicB are well known to yon. The track I followed was this : from Winnipeg to Emerson, past Pembina, through the Menoonite villages, skirting the districts of Nelsonville, Archibald and iiock Lake, west to Turtle Mountain. On this part of the journey ! was accom- panied by Prof. Bryce. Prof. Hart cime with us about half the distance. The tide of immi- gration has moved forward on this course at the rate of abv.ut one hundred miles la&^ year. Turtle Mountam is at present the western edge of colonization, bnt the district around is likely to be quickly taken up, and the people are clamouring for a missionary. One should be sent to them, if possible, next summer. At this point I prea-ihed twice, and visited a number of the families. I then went across the valley of the Sooris Biver to Milford, where it empties into the Assiniboine. Here I met Bev. Mr. Boddiok, with whom I proceeded through Brandon, up the Grand Valley, and across the country to Bapid City, on the Littie Saskatchewan iliver, where Mr. fioddick left me. From ibis place I went up the river to Minnedosa, then west by Mosquito Hill, Shoal Lake, and Birtle, to Fort Ellice. Here we left colonization behind us. On this route I had made a circuit of more than tour hundred miles among new settlers. A great many of them had been only a few months in the country, and the majority of them were not more than fifteen months in it. We saw the pemle and conversed with them on their immigrant waggons, in their tents, their mud huts, and log cabins. They were hopeful, glad to welcome missionar- ies, but in iheir struggle for physical existence they had little time or money to spare for religi- ons purposes. Such congregations must, for two or three years at last, be purely mission fields. After, say three years, it might bs well to deal with them as supplemented charges, always tak- ing oare that the sums expected from the people were represented by real guarantees of eome kind, and not by mere guesseB, or the assesBments of outsiders. From Fort Ellioe I went by the way of Cut Arm Creek, Touchwood Hills, Duck Lake, etc., through a prairie country of nearly four hundred miles, to Prince Albert mission. Here I found considerable irritation among the people caused by the disappointments in •onnection with the appointment of Bev. Mr. Boss to the field. The paople vritb whom I oon- Tersed all bore testimony to the faithfulness and ability with which Bev. Mr. Duncan had dis- charged his duties, but they seemed to tbink that the work was too much for him. Indeed, while I was there he was suHeriag from indisposition, largely caused by over-work. Both be and the people will no doubt be glad to receive the missionary which tha Committee has appointed, and, in my hunble judgment, the appointment of Bev. Mr. Duncan, to Edmonton, is a most appropriate one. The school at tho mission, under tho charge ot Miss Baker, is doing very ef- ficient work. Through it a large number of children who speak the Cree language are reoei/ing a good education. Prince Albert, as you are aware, is the et at of an Episoopalian bishopric. The bishop is a most active, zealous man, who seems to have the faanlty of (tollecting money, and who is spend- ing it quite freely in puttmg up a fine building, which is to answer tno double purpose of a resi- denoo for himself and College for atudouts that are to come from some place. He will u^ake Eplsoopaliauism a rival of Presbyterianism, but I have no doubt that by honest, earnest, mission- ary work ^» will more than bold our own under the very shadow of the bishop's pala .c. The growth of the settlement will not likely realize the expectation of sanguine prophets, but it will DO doubt always be a place of some importance. In raferenoa to the property belonging to the Forefgn Mission Board I think that the sooner some arrangement is made by which tbe congregation can got land for a glebe and building lot the better for our cause. All the property that is there owned by the Board will not Uo too much to b^ aaefully eciployod in the aid of Homo Missions. On my way back I came from Minnedosa by way of Beautiful Plains, Palestine, Qladstore, Westbouroe, Portage la Prairlo, Poplar Point, Meadow Lea, and Headiugly, to Winnir I'g! These are somewhat old settlements, and some of them should bo 6olt-suBtaiuing,oongregattou,s at onoo. All of them should be dealt with ai suppUmented oharges. Bnt I feel that I am writ log too muob, and must bo brief. APPENDED xiii The points at which I preached and visited were, Kildooan, Winnipeg, Turtle Mountain, Mosquito Hill, Cameron's, Prinoe Albert miBsion, Portage la Prairie and Burnside. Things that impressed me were these: For the most part our missionaries are hard-worli- ing and oonsoientioas laborers. The great built of the immigrants coming into the ooantry are Presbyterians. As soon as possible the Presbytery should deal with congregations on the princi- ple of sapplementing them. On the whole I am glad to see our Gh^oroh doing its work so well in the great North- West. There we are first in the pioneer worli, and I trust we will not retile, but go forward. To neglect this great growing cocntry is to miss our great opportunity. At the meeting of Committee in March last, Mr. G. li. Pitblado's report of his visit t < Mani- toba and the North-West was laidjon the table. The Convener '8 large extension maybe accomplished at a oost to the Assem- bly's Committee not greatly — if .it all — exceeding that of last year. THE NORTH-WEST TEBBITORIKS. This vast extent of country may be dividf d, for Home Mission purposes, into two parts. There is fi rst, The Fakwest. Prince Albert, which had been for many years a source of anxiety to the Committee, has taken a new start since the arrival of Bev. Jan^en Sieveright in the last part of the autumn of 1880. The worK accomplished, under great difBculties but with the greatest perseverance, by Bev> James Duncan, deserves recognition. The Committee had hoped that his health would have permitted him to have gone to £dmonton, when so appointed by the Assem- bly's Committee. Althongh several times on the eve of starting, a return of the malady aiU cting him prevented his westward journey. Mr. Sieveright undertook the work at Prince Albert with great zeal on his arrival, and, did space permit, a fuller account might be given of his acceptable miniatratioDs— perseverance — dangers — nnmerons Church enterprises under way — in short his labours manifold for the Redeemer's cause. Edmonton received the notice of the Committee in March last-'-when Bev. A, B. Baird, a most promising licentiate of the Church was appointed Mr. Baird being in Europe, found it impossible to return till Aagnst or September, and accord- ingly tbe Presbytery was compelled to appoint some one in Mr. Baird's place, to have this very important point occupied during tbe present year. There was accordingly an appointment of one of the most devoted Missionaries of the Presbytery, Bsv. D. McBae, of Archibald, Manitoba, who «iil proceed westward on the nrst of July, the date at which his appointments begins. NOBTH-WBBT TEBBITOBIES (EABTEBM DIVISION) The North-west Territories immediately beyond the hmits of the Province of Manitoba, and to be included in the extended boundaries of the Province, are an important region some loO miles from East to West, comprising the newest settlements. In this region, which three years ago was almost entirely unsettled, tbe Presbytery has labouring this summer six ordained mis- sionaries and five student catachists. Tbe duty of following up our people soon after settlement Is an important one, and the Presbytery is anxious to maintain tlie Presbyterian Church as the pioneer Church of the Northwest — as Ood in His grace has permitted it for several years to be. But not only does tbe Presbytery call on the Church at large to assist it, but tbe duty of contri- buting, immediately on settlement, to the best of their ability is urged upon tbe people by the Presbytery, and the financial arrangements of tbe Presbytery are being made more and more with the end in view of developing local resources. It is hoped that tho Assembly may, for the furtherance of the class of work needed in pioneering, give a lavourable consideration to tbe re- commendation of the Assembly's Home Mission Committee and the overture of tbe Presbytery of Manitoba as to a missionary superintendent. It is not so much for the supervision of tho missionaries engaged in tbe work, who as a rule have been conscientious and earnest men, as for the urging upon the mivsion fields tbe matter of helping themselves as soon as possible, and to this end, it is believed that not only will the superintendent's expenses be mot but the burden on the Homo Mission Fund greatly lightened. Some years ago tbe statement was hazarded that the greater amounts contributed by the older stations would bo suQloient, oven with a largot development of work, to keep the amount reiinircd from the Committee about the same each year, with an immigration of the Hame amount as bas been goiu(. ^n for several y>ars. Tbe Committee would point out that this has been nearly attained. Tho Committee would state, however, that should a largely increased rate of immigration be attained, as stems not improbable the Presbytery would be entirely powerless, with present resources, to meet the demands made npon it. The Committee rejoices in the general extension of the work in the Proviuoo of Manitoba. SETTLED CKABOKS. The length of time taken tu elTect settlements lias been a subject of serioas thought to the I'resbytery. The rognlations which are recommended to the Assembly by the AsKombly's Com- mittee at this last meeting will, it is to be hoped, facilitate this desirable object. During tbe past year Portage La i'rairiu bai beoomo a self-suetaiuiug charge and is uow applyicj to have xn. APPENDIX. the sole attention of the miniBter in eharee at a salary of one thoniand dollan « year. During the past year also, Emereon was settled with good hopes for tbe fatare. The new regnlationa if brought in force, while involvinf; a certain amoant o! hardship to tbe mibsionaries, will, it ia to be hoped, result in a greater namber of settlements, for ii is found that so icng a» what ia virtually a system of "stated supply" is in vogue very little jress is made or v^irganization efleoted. To make a practical test of the working of the new system which, on account of the ae« tion of the Home Mission Committee in March, is virtually that at present in foroe, roe group of seven stations was taken. Three deputations vuited the several parts of the field which com* prises the greater part of eight townships. The result was a large increase for th.^ whole field. This is a field worked by two missionaries. It is plain, however, that the pretbyl»ry cannot work up its whole field so diligently us this test-field was worked — for the members cf Frebby- tery cannot give the time or incur the expense required for a work of ao great magnitude. An argument, howeyer, is afforded, in the success of the deputtiion sent, for the appointment of a missionary superintendent who could do this nork. Upwards of one hundred preaching atationa woald fully occupy one man's time — unless it were for a few months in the most severe weather in winter. A itriking feature of the work in the Northwest is ihe demand for Canadian ministers in tbe adjoining teriitory of Dakota. Through ''ne cause )r a.. other a considerable Canadian emigration baa taken place in this territory. T *>eop^ ire to have ministers at the hand of the Canadian Chi ob, and tbe American Presbv Hn , irch seems willing -> undertake their support. A certain amount of joint work has be !- \;-n :'is, however, it believed must be left to individual action, and the efforts of our ov.v«'i«i-'' e many fact . of interest for the use of the Assembly, but this has been so fully done m formei s that if ia deemed unneeea- cary for this year. The Committee would, however, strongly nr^ 3 the n^^dofmore laborers being sent out to the Northwest. Of the 15 Cateobists— all but 2 will cease their labors on the 30th of September. Only some three months is left to make arrangements for the future. What is to be done at that date with the fields left vacant? The work must not be allowed to go back. Are not zealous young men ready to offer themselves ? Surely the missionary spirit has not de- parted from our church to such an extant that many of the most active and intelligent young men who are finishing now in our colleges will not offer themselves for the nobb work of obriit- ianising our "^s rising nation. Surely the means will be forthcoming to support these in comfort. We pray the Lord of the Harvest to send forth more laborers into His harvest. AN^ ANNUAL REPORT OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE MISSIONARY AS- SOCIATION FOR iSSo-i. The past year has been one of unusaal progress in the history of the Association. During last summer it became responsible for three student missionaries in tbe Presbytery of Kingston, and after meeting all its obligations, it oommenoea this year with a balance in hand. This year it has undertaken fivu fields, viz. : Uffington, &c.. Presbytery of Barrie, Merrickville, &c,, Presbytery of Brookville, Palmerston, &o., Presbytery of Kingston, Sharbott Lake, Ac, " " Mississippi, &c., " " Charles Herald. John Hay. John McNeil. Wm. J. Shanks. Tbe last three have e&oh a small grant from tbe H. M. Fund. Mississippi, at the terminus of the Kingston & Pembroke U. B., ir, an entirely new field where there has never been regular Hervice of any kind. Tbe work is principally among the miners and other laborers about the works there. During the session tbo members of the Association have statedly supplied the following places in the Presbytery of Kingston, viz : Portsmouth, Camden, Mill Haven, Sharbott Lake and Parham, Mississippi and the Houee of Industry. The members of tbe Inter Collegiate Y. M. 0. A. supplied services in several destitute places in and about tbe city of Kingston. In some of these places they hal also Sabbath Schools and week-evening meetings. Nine fields were supplied for throe Sabbaths during the Christmas holidays, and the students in charge visited from house to house and had tbe usaal week evening meetings. Throughout the session a joint prayer meeting was conducted by the two Associations, and it awakened cou< siderable interest in personal religion among the students. During the past session the Association was addressed in reference to its work by the Revs. Dr. McKay, of Formosa, Dr. Smith, of Kingston, and Narayan Sheshadri, of India. These ad- dresses were evidently productive of great good to the stndeuts who heard them. The members of the Association desire to record their gratitude to the King and Head of the church for the measure of blessing with which He has been pleased to favor them in their work, and their prayer is that the blessing may bo increased iu the futare- JAMES BOSS, President. JAMES MURRAY, Bo«..S«oretar]r, APPENDIX' xvu ANNUAL REPORT- OF KNOX COLLEGE MISSIONARY SOCIETY, FOR i8di. The following partioalars regarding the work daring the year which baa jast cloned deterve special notice :— PARRY SOUND AND MUSKOKA. In 1871, the Society commenced work in the distriots lying to the east of Georgian Bay, by Bending a misoionary to Parry Sound. Ttia work wua coatiuued and extended each succesBive year, as the district was opened up by settlers, till now tbore are ten miesionaries in this region. iPive of these are supported by the Students' Society. PARRY 80CN0. Originally eatablished by our missionaries, this field has been, for sonie years past, under the care of the Presbytery of the bounds; but, owing to the removal of a number of families, caused by the depression of the lumber trade, it became weakened financially, and application for supply was made to the Society ; accordingly, a missionary was sent to labor there daring the summer. MPISBINO. This field, which lies in the north-east part of the district, was oscupied am* ixteu Service was bel'' fortni(i;htly at four stations, two of which, Powassan and Nipissir., t.. -e been regularly organiii^ed. At Uommanda Creek a new union church has been erecte-^ '^oc lonal service was held at Calendar, a promising village which is situated on the Sontb-eaat 61. v lake Nirissing, The superior quality of the land in the whole of this field, and pro8pt;ctivv. railway facilities, will donbtless attract many additional settlers, so tuat tbo cnogregatiou ritbin a few years will be able, with little assistance, to support ordinances among tbemeeUet STBOHO. Tbo work commenced here daring the previous year was continued. Mecunitma, Eagle Lake, Strong, and Stony Lake received supply once a fortnight : each was organized during the summer, and steps were taken to secure suitable places for worship. A union Sabbath school was organized at Strong, and occasional services were conducted at two other places. KATRINE AND EM8DALE. In this field there are six stations, five of which enjoyed Sabbatb services more or less fre- quently, wbi'e a fortnightly meeting was held at the sixth on a week-day evening. The sacra- ment of the Lord's supper was dispensed at three ol the places, at one of which there was a weekly meeting for prayer. A oburoh has been erected at Emsdale wbiob, thoagh not complet- ed, is in a stata fit for summer use, and is almost clear of debt. BATBTILLE, formerly nnder the care of the Barrie Presbytery, was entrusted to the Society, and from it re- ceived a missionary in 1879. Tbe reiults of tbe first summer's work were sucb as to lead to its continnanoe, and now tbe number of settlers throughout the district has so increased tbat it has been deemed expedient to divide the field for the coming year. During the past summer six were added to the membership of the church. At Hamilton's, one of its four stations, a Sabbath school was established; and at Uffiui^'on, another station, two elders were elected and ordained. An effort is being made to erect a church at tbe latter place, for wbicb a considerable sum has already been collected. WAOBAUIBBMK. ' To this field, as in ptst years, a missionary was sent. Depending almost exclusively upon the lumber trade, tbe population is somewhat firotuatiug. For this reason tb ere is little hope of eatablishiug a permanent congregation at any of tbe places, yet, during the summer, the re- sultB of tbe missionary's labors were ofja very encouraging nature. At the request of ihe people, supply was granted to them weekly, during tho Christmas vacation, and fortnightly, by studeats from the Collego, during the session. Ah in former years, tbe Rev. A. Fiudl»y, of Bra<^ebridge, took a dsep interest}in|tbe Society' work in Muskoka, dispensing the HaoramMti At the varioun stations, and organizing new con- .1 ■3 < ! jTliic \PPENDIX. ALGOMA DISTRICT.

Nine new members were added to the church during the past year ; and steps were taken toward the erection of a place ol worship at Providence Bay. The prospects on this part o( the island are very encourag* ing. THE LITTLE CI BRENT FIELJ) is situated on tbe north side, and embracea the three townships ot hollttnd, Mheguindah and bidwell. At seven points of these townships Sabbath services were regularly conducted, and a weekly prayer meeting was held at one of tLem. ST. .lOSEPH'S IBLANI", sitnated near the head of Lake Huron, in twenty two miles long by twelve wide. The immigra- tion during the last four years ha^' been so great that now its population amounts to upwards of 3,000. There are four stat'ouo on the island, at each of which services were conducted on alter- nftta Sabbaths with snob results as to encourage tbe Society to continue the work. HRUlE MINES, situated on the north shore of Lake Huron, about forty miles south-east of Sault Ste Marie, is a new and important Held. It comprise! four stations, via. : Brnoe Mines, McCrae'a Settlement, Day's Settlement, and Bock liake. At the last mentioned place a church was erected and opeDed for divine service early m the snmm ir, and through the liberality of Mr. Day, one to be used by all denominations was also provided in the settlement which bears his name. Tbe missionary who laboared in this district reports very favorably of its future prospects, and, upon his recom- mendation, the Society proposes to extend the work by sending an additional missionary, who will make Tbessalon, a place to the south-east, the centre of bis labors. MANITOBA. Seven years ago, the Society was so impressed with the impo.tanoe of Manitoba as a field for missionary labor, that it sent out two of the graduating class to engage in the work. In the fol- lowing year, also, it had a labourer in the North-West, but since then, for various reasons, not withstanding its deep interest ; Communioants, i2f> ; 7; Sabbath Schools, 25; Prayer Meetings, 9; Revenue fiom Society's Fields, other sources, 9958.71 ; Total Revenue, 91,817.59.

LUMBEHMAN'S MISSION. According to the instruotious of the last General Agsembly, the repoii of the Lumbermrtn'a Mission is herewith submitted : — During the past seaeou the mission to the Lumbermen haj iioen carried on wiih vi^rnur. Two missionaries, the Rev. J. (randier, of Fort Coulonge, and the U«v. 8. J. Taylor, of M.iltawa, have been engaged in visiting the shanties, the foimur for three months, tlio latter for six wei'ks ; while, io addition to the work performed by the-e gentlemen in conducting Divine service in the shanties, and distributing appropriite literature among tlie men, large supplies of such literature were distributed in various directions by colporteurs of the ()ttn>fii Bible Society and by lum- bermen. The Rev. .Mr. Gandier reports : "During the past season I have labored in the fie'd twelve " weeks. I visited in the districts of the Picknnock, the Coulonge, t'le Madawapka. the Scliyan, and " the Black River, in all forty-six shanties, mue stcjipin? places, liv.) dcpota, and liffy eiulit " lamilitf'i ; conducted rehgious services ninety-iive limen, and bapti/i!d seven chiidim. The " heartiness of the welcome which I received in eviry place and by rtll clasees of penple could " not be snrpassod. The good efifect of the work is btcomiiig more and more evident. Contrast " the hahitg and oharaoters of the shautymen now with those .i ten and lifteen yeal•^^ ago, and " the chenge for the better has far surpiissed flie most s<>..giiine expootatioiis. Surely, this i- " the Lord's doing. I am confident that the money Hr..t8 and foity. three sliantios. Tliesi w(ue " on or near the following waters: — The (fitawa, Magnueippi, Petawawa, Mattawu, and Acrible " du Fends Rivers, and liakes Beauchene, Kipicwa and Nipissing ; yet one half of the sliantinj " in this district wire not visited. When will the churches do their duty towards thi^^e moat " neglected men'/ One of the most encouraginB features 'if the work to me has been the ati< n- " tion given by the men, and esprcially by Frenohmeu. I have seen the tears s'art from Ibeir " eyes as I talked to them of Him who came to .1 ek and save tlie lost. The discouraging thing "is the indifferenoe and ungodlinejs of lumbermen in general. The literatiin', both Fnnch itud " English, in always thankfully riioeived, and no douht pidduclive of reBU'ts whic'i ctiruiiy alone " will lev^al.

APPENDIX. xxvu MISSION CHURCH KaTENSION SCHEME. A member of oue of our ohnrohes in the east has otTerel 91,000 towards raising a fand of 9100,000 for the erection of miseion ohurclies tbrougboat the Dominion, but especially in the newer and more destitute fields of Muskoka aad tlic Nortb-West. Although the matter has not come before the committee, it would be well if the Assembly would coueider the propriety of establiabiug such a fund. The lack of church aocotnmodation greatly retards the progress in many important and necessitonR districts. UKDUCTION 01' SUPl'l.lMKNTS REPAID. In accordance with instruotions from last Assembly the committee have paid the twenty-live per cent, deducted two years a(;o from the paymcats of supplemented ministers, to all those Presbyteiies, where it had noi otherwise been provideil for. HEMIT ANKNT OPENING AND Cl.OSlNii OF COLLEGES. The committee con.sidercd the remit from the General Assembly as to a proposed change in the time of opening an! closing the ses^inas nf tlie Theological Instituticaa of the Church, It was unanimously renolved to recjmmpiul that the college nessions extend from the bsginning of November to the end of April. CONCLUSION. It is cause of regret to the Committee that they come before the A.--embly with an iriobt- f'dnesB of 88*)'2.52. In every way that seemed reasonable tlioy have endeivoured to equa!'^e the receipts and expenditure. The grants durin;.^ tbe year have l)eeo carefully revised, and in many cases ieduo( il, wliile comparatively low new applications have biioa eutertained. The Convener has also, in c'lrrespondence with the British churcbes, laid the urgent claims of our mission lields before them. The condition of the fund, and ihe necessity for increased con- tributions, lias lieeu repeatiiily brouRJit noder the notice of the Presbytorioa and membership of the church dm ing the past year, and every eft'ort Iibk been made to iut'jrest the cli'iroh in tbe great work of Home Missions. The Committee feel that without u very large increase of the annual revoane, they canvsot meet the demands made upon them by IMuskokn, INfanitoba and tlie North-West Territories, aot to speak of equally necessitous distriota in C' itial Canada. Thousands of imtigrants are enter- ing the Nortb-Weat every year, and >'ie calls for missionaries becoming more urgant. Theolaioia of Home Missions are pressing upon uh as they have never done before. We have prayed that fields might be opened, and now that God is so manifestly answering our prayers, wa cuunot surely refuse to take poseesBion.

The (committee cannot review the work (\f the ye.ir jiast without acknowledniiiK with >,'ratitude the f,'()()d hand of the Lord in pre.servin>,' the lives, the health, and the mental vigour of all their labourer.s, and in K'^'i'iK them doors of entrance to many fields of usefulness some new and othei's old. The fields occupied and the wiuk done are substantially the s.imi' as in former years, lint the names of «iew districts, here and there, shew that our work is not stationaiy, but truly |iro,i,'ressive. l'\>rty-five ai,'ents have been employed, of whom fourteen were ordained ministers and six licentiates, makin.; twenty preiichers, and nineteen theological student, two who have finisheil their arts course and had been admitted for theoloLfical study, and four youn.; lU'ii of piety, recommended by Presbyteries as persons who had proved themselves earnest an/l successful workers. These have been employed in the Presbyteries of the four Provinces of Newfoumlland, Nova Scotia, Prince Kdward Island and New 15runswick. Last year at this date our roll shewed nine onlaine.d ministers and oij^'ht probationers. Of the nine, six have bec(Une pastors, two are not now en'.,'a\'ed in mission work, so that only one minister en,i,'a'.,'ed in the service fiu- a year remains on o\ir list. Of the ei'_;ht licentiates, four have become pastors, two are located in Home .Mission centres, one has become missionary to the Coolies of Triiddail, and one only remains on our list, preferrini,' for a time to be a missionary rather than a pastor, so that our whole banil of last year, with three exceptions, has been called or appointed to specific spheres of labour and usefulness. .\s a consecpii'iice, the vacancies of the present year are reduced in number, beint; as nearlv as can !»> stated twenty this year to twenty-four last year, and as there has also been a ci)rr(!S))ondim,' diminution in the numbei of preachers on the Home .Mission Itoll, it is confidently anticij)ated that durini,' the current year the con>,'rej,'ations will receive uU tip- supply, anil the preachers all the employment, which they respectively desire.

JOHN PKESBYTERY. Of these twenty-nine fields eleven are found in .St. .Tohn Presbytery, which embraces more than half of the I'rovince of \ew 15runswick, comprising nine counties, and extending from Nortlnnnber- land Straits in the east away to the State of Maine in the west. Its stations are some on the sea coast, and others by river or lake, as far from the sea shore ius is possible in the Maritime Provinces. No general remarks can |)roi)erly describe stations so very ilitl'erent and sometimes op)iosite in their characterihtics, so that a few descriptive statements may lie i)resented in detail, THK BAII.I.IK IIISTIUCT, which is the station nearest to the American line, and contiguous both to the congreg.ations of St. .latnes anling in that, that they be placed inuier charge of the nearest minister. ST. (IKIIKCK, in the far west of New IJrunswick, and on the southern coast, includes the three districts of St. Ceorge, .Mascarene and I'enuHeld, The first, tlie main station, is slowly recovering (in the words of Mr. .McKcn/.ie, who lalioureil most acceptably among them last summer) from the effects . R(vss, in Waterford and Mechanics' Settlement by Mr. Ar,'us Sillars, and in Nerepis and .ferusalem by Mr. H. C. C^uinn.

Here are nine stations which were s-ipplied by Mr. .Tames K. lUair, who, after a hard season's work, reports as follows: " I think the people are able to support a minister without aid, but not able to support two. They need to be taught their duty in the matter of giving. If two or three outside settlements could be taken in and a division nuide, the people could then support two ; and there are some new settlements within reiich. At jtresent the utmost they could do would be the support of one." Mr. Blair wrought with encouragement and success. NKW KINCAKDINK AN'I) THK TOBim'K. These j)laces have been supplied during the year by the Rev. .F. A. F. Sutherlanil, Mr. VV. A. Mason and Mr. (S. Allan. The gentleman first named, who has, since the first mission there, been located for a year, reports thus: "During my stay the liord's supper was disjiensed at the two principal stations, at Melville Church and at L'pper Kintore. Three were added, and five children of church members baptized. Prayer-meetings and 15ible classes were conducted, and family visitation, as f) • as the widespread nature of the settlement would allow, while the sick were not forgotten. From the peojile I received board, and though they might do something more, yet it must lie remembered that many with families have no little difficulty in feeding and clothing their children.

Maxwell furnishes a full and interesting,' report of work in Metapedia and Flat Lands, also in the I'rfvvince of (.Quebec, from which the followini,' notes are taken: - Preached every morning' at Flat Lands, and afternoon at Metapedia. Prayer nii't'tinj,' weekly at Flat liands, with encoiir;ij,'ijiK attendant:-'. Parents and chiMren interested in the Sahliath school. " Immediately on entering' my field [ commenceil visiting and kept it up thronj,'h bad roads, dan^'er in crossing the river, till I had visited all the I'rotestant families, one hundred in number, and some of them in out- of-the-way places, and hard to l>e j,'ot at. Knay ('haleur. < )n the islands many of tlie lionian f'atliolics came to hear him; at ( 'araipiette on the main, only three. He reports it to be a hard field, but urges that the Protestants should be looked after, and the Gospel carried to the French. I.IMHKU CAMPS, The most interesting work in the Miramichi district was the visitation of lumber camps by Mr. .lohn (iriersoii, who spent the winter in the work, as a volunteer, witiiout making any claim for payment. Me devoted some time to this mission in the winter of lM7!t-H(), but having other eng.age- ments he could only visit the camps on the. Little .South-west and .Mullen Stream, fourteen in all, several times. Last winter, however, he ilevoteil four months to mission work amoti-rst the fifty- seven c.imps located on thirteen rivers ami streams, tributaries of the North-west ami .South-west Mininiichi. l{especting his work he says he held i;i'> meetings, 70 on week evenings, between 7 and !( o'clock ; .'{() were held on the Lord's days; and 'Mi were held between .") and (> o'clock in the morning, before the men wi-nt out. This meeting couM c)nly be held in camps the best regulated, and where I was best aciiuainted, and had always to be short. Thanks to the .Miramichi Branch of the British and Foreign Hiljle Society, I was enabled to distribute amongst the young men a number of New Testa- ments; and also througb the lilierality of the Pritish American Book and Tract Society, I was enabled to scatter many thousand pages of pure (Jospel literature. The camps visited were occupied by ai)out 701) men, reiiresenting all the dilferent countries and creeils which go to make up our Lower Provincial population. In accom|)lishing the above I travelled 1,00!) miles, of which 41.") was on snow-shoes. But it would have taken five missionarie.s, iloing an •([ual amount of work, to have even so seldom, and so hurriedly, visited ri// the lunilier camps of .\Iiramichi alone. .\s a field of Home .Mission work, surely our lumlier cam])s present a strong claim in view of the direct personal evil infiuenci's they e.vert upon our yimng men, and through them on society. Especially is this true of the settlements near the lumber woods. 1 also found hundreds of young men from Kastern Nova Scotia and Prince Kdwaril Island, spending their first winter from home, an 1 their first contact with the unholy iiiHuence of camp life. I received a cordial welcome everywhere, and an urgent and earnest invitation to return. So far as f know 1 received as kind treatment from Catholics as from Protestants, not that I sought for such dividing lines; inili'ed / irniild mil see them when they were visible. To me there are but two l>i iiomiiuitiunK, the Sunt and the Loxl, and my one te.\t is .Fohn iii. 10, always in every place -at all times. May the liOrd raise u|) such instiumeutality as sh;dl fully occupy this field, now white with the harvest, the past and present condition of which is a proof of our unfaithfulnes-i -to (!od and our perishing kindred. In Wallace Prfisbj'terv, .SJiemogue and Port Elgin have l)een supplied foi' six months by Rev. T. II. .Murray, of whose lalioui-^ no report has been received. TIU lU) I'KKSIlVTKltV employed three students, "SXy. .1. F. Dustan, at .Maccaii, Mr. .1. K. Fitzpatrick at North liiver, Onslow, ami Mr, V.. P. Rogers at Harmony ami Stewiacke I{oad. The first presents but a brief report, the relation of the people bi'in;,' so well known ; but he urges strongly the need of winter as well as siunmer supply. In North RiM'r .Mr. Fitzpatrick mentions two great wants, first, the want of a new church at I'ppi-r North River, so as to combine in one nreachiiig [dace, the three stations of South Branch, Poison's and Hatch Settlements; seconiUy, tiie want of some regular supi>ly of l)rt!aching during the winter. Mr. Rogers reiiort-i the people of Harmony and Stewiacke Roah, etc., until he reached the bounds of the Sheet Hartiour conu'reiration. The Presbytery has followed this exploratory tour by appoiiitini,' two niontiis' supply duriiii; May and .Tune, by meud)ers of Presbytery, so as to examine the f,' his short term of three m nths ; pre;ichinj,', visiting, and iioldin;.,' Sabbath School and prayer meetings in Hayview, where Rev. Mr. LoLfan of Kentville dispensed tlie Lord's supjier with an adilition of idne persons to the communion roll -a larije accessiiui in so small a i>lace. He points out in his carefrdly prepared report, the threat ditticulties hinderiuL; pro},'ress in Digby which, in liis oiindon, can only be met by sending,' an ordaineut no better record can be ^'iven in the two former cases than the facts that Stratldorne has asked for a moderation. Bix' Inter- vale and Cheticamp have asked ami subscribed for an ordained minister. Kiver Inhabitants and Port Mulgrave re(iuire another summer of an earnest worker to deepen impressions already (iroduceil, and to evoke Christian liberality in the support of the (Tospel. IN THK PUKSDVTKHV DK SYDNKV Mr. Angus McMillan and Mr. K. (iillies, Probationers, were employed in Leiteh's Creek, Cow Bay and Glace Bay. In these cases also there are no written reports furnished, but a ^'lance at the tal)le will shew that the people have met nearly the whole pecuniary outlay, which is alike creditable to themselves and to the missionary, and a ^'oo(l indication of the |)eople's approval of tlie woik done. OTHEH I'UKSHVTKIUK.S. No student- have been em{)Ioyed within the year in the Presl)yteries of Prince K.dward Island, Wallace, Lunenliurg ancl Yarmouth and Newfoundlaml. Vacant conL,'re^,'ations hav(! been su|)plied in the three first-named, and work in Xewfoundland will be noticed under the headini; of special fields. To a much lai^'er extent than in any former years tlie student missionaries have lieen cheered and aiileil by the i»resence of a member of Presbytery, visitin^' the different stations, dispensiiij,' the Loril's supper at the chief centre, and thus gathering' into the Church tin- ripened harvest. In all cases the etl'ect on the people has been most liappy, and the Committee would expiess very stroiii,'ly, their hope that all the Presliyteries may make this practice an established arranf,'ement. It will also lie seen that the ^reat drawback to proirress in our stations is the Imuj niriinrii thit/ fiilliiws the return of the student to colle^je. In some cases a time of high privile^'e is followed by many silent Sabbaths, a rich feast followe.il by a lout,' fast. To some extent, this m.iy lie inevitalile, but uiuiuestioiialily by timely and judicious arraiivfenients by Presliytei y. or by the nearest ministiMS, the fast may lie occasionally broken, and the tried and sutferinj; ones broui,'lit thl•ou^^dl the lonK winter in a comparatively healthy condition. , I SI'KriAL KIKI.I)>.

The (/'oimiiittee intended, in accord- ance with .Mr. Creelman's recommendations, and the leipiest of the people and the Presbytery, to send a labourer this summer; but the accounts of remo\als >ub>ei|Ueiitly heard, were such that they felt constrained before doiii^' so, to refer to the Pre>liyteiy for advice, and now await a reply.

On March 5th. your mis.sionary writes : " Last night I returned from a visit to Hall's Bay, the proposed northern terminus of the railway now \mder contract. Among the lumbermen and miners tliere were several of Mr. Creehnan's late charge.

IV. Bedford, Waverley and Beaver Bank.— Mr. Christie's work shews the following results in a field which is confessedly one of great ditticulty : — 1878. 1880. 1881. Bedford attendance, average 20 (iO 80 " prayer meeting tt 20 r>0 Waverley attendance 30 40 .50 with a corresponding improvement in Sabbath schools, and some evidence of real spiritual progress. Six have been received into communion within the year, and a Total Abstinence Society has been organized, which ntinibers, old and young, t;2 members. Part of Mr. ( 'bristle's time has been transferred from Waverley to the still more distant and necessitous district of Beaver Bank, which is thus provided with preaching and pastoral visitation at stated intervals. In this district the work is of a truly missionary character. THE TABULAR RKTURNS are fuller than uxual, and the Committee would ask the aid of CUerks of Presbyteries in securing condemcd written reports, along with the facts expresse«l in figures. Both are needed for the informa- tion of the supporters of our Home Mission work. Especially let the schedules be carefully filled up in figures. KINANCKH.

This makes a difference of S730, which is more than our whole indebtedness. That the chief items of outlay were for iigents engaged, and for places and objects, to which promises were made, when our funds were aided by the Scottish Churches, and that no sudden reduction could be made. It will be seen that a very few appropriations of this kind for special ol)jects cover nearly half of the whole expenditure : Little Bay for one year and a half iJfiOO 00 Advance to present missionary there 100 00 $700 00 Bay of Islands 137 40 New Kincardine and Tobi(|ue 4t)7 50 Bedford and Waverley with Beaver Bank 273 33 Manitoba College 250 00 .S1828 23 In these items thi- Committee had no power of sudden retrenchment, nor could they make any appreciable abatement of outlay witbo\it contracting their work and diminishing their agents.

It .seems, therefore, necessary to review the last few years, so that the existini,' financial condition of the fund may bo ftdly understood. During the last four years this fund has l)een in a statu of financial difficulty. In May, 1877, the Treasurer's report shewed that S2,ti00 was required to meet [jayments maturing on the first of July ; and to meet the emergency, the memhers of Committee agreed to write to the wealthier congregations, and to ai)i)ly personally to lit)eral donors for special contrihutions. Temporary relief was thus obtained, liut next year at the same season, the situation was imchanged. The same course could not well be pursued again, but something had to be done ; and it was agreed, 1st, to send to Presbyteries the names of congregations which had given nothing, and ask an early collection ; 2nd, to place the situation before all the churches by circular ; 3rd, to borrow money to meet the deficiency. In December of the same year, rather than disa|)point expectations, the Treasurer was directed to pay by loan. This moile of procedtire was not satisfactory to the Committee, was noticed by the auditors in their annual rejiort, and the (general Assembly gave directions that in the future administration of the fund, expenditure and income should be ecpialized. The Committee having repeatedly tried to bring np the income to meet the whole expenditure, without success, found themselves now under orders to reduce ex|)enditure, and did so to a small extent, not by any arbitrary decision of their own, but by a gradtuil application of the existing Vegulation of the (ieneral Assembly, which up to that date in the Lower Provinces had not been fully acted on, but not till the fullest notice had been given to every Presbytery, minister and congregation affected. It is known that this step was not acceptable, but the Committee has never been informed of any other, involving reduction, which would have been more welcome. Last year, viz., 1879-80, the del)t, previously inc\UTed, being allowed to remain, the (Jcmimittee with the sanction of the .\sseml)ly made temporary loans to secure |)unctuality of payment, and the receipts met the expenditure, and reduced the debt from •'?1,084.28 to i?!, 017. 33, a reduction of $l)().95 - small, but very welcome. Precisely the same course has been foUoweil during the year which has just terminated, l)Ut with a very dilferent result. The receipts from congregations have increased as already shewn by §99.71, but the adverse balance on the year is 61,104.48. The explanation is easily given. Last year this fund received from parent (!hurches in Britain .'5«l,5fi7.0iJ, and from the " Record " Committee .?250.O0, making in all !?1, 817.01), while this year the oidy sum received outside of the contributions of our peojile direct, was from tne Presbyterian Church of Ireland, toO stg. (8243.. 33), making a difference of $1,573.33. Tlie Committee expected diminution of revenue froin these external sources, and in a\itliori/,ing a loan at their njeeting held in Truro on December 23rd, they, at the satne time, thing, and sixteen without pastms, making forty-one in all ; so that iiotwithstanditig tlie clamant necessity, and the urgent appeals, nearly one-fi.urth of our i ougregations hiive had no opportunity furnished them of replenishing this fun-2r, 00 •SlOO 00 i;i5 00 90 00 200 00 100 00 125 00 l.-O 00 200 '66 108 00 150 00 100 00 100 00 .Sl,558 00 .S72 00 V.\r, 00 90 00 150 00 SI47 00 •SlOO 00 i;<5 00 .•=i2.S5 00 !?144 00 511 00 125 00 .S;{i9 00 !?!.50 00 100 00 50 00 75 00 .•-SJ75 00 .'|!;«io 00 .S125 no 100 (JO 40 00 ?i!2(15 00 APPENDIX.

It will be Keen that the whole snin apparently promised for the coming,' year exceeds that of the preHent by .$.'01. In explanation, the Coniniittee have to say that Presbyteries sent in claims for .?1,000 more than was granted last year, which they had difficulty in resisting?, ami that tlie small increase has arisen from promises to new conf?regations, and not from increase to those already _on the fund. The {Committee, however, dots not promise full payment of the sums set opposite the respective cor.crregations. With the receipts of the past they can at the farthest pay only three-fourths of the sums set down, and they have instructed their Treasurer to pay only seventy-five per cent., unless the congregations fiu-nish during the year means of payment in full, which it is artlently hoped they will do.

The New Hehrides Mis.sion has been conducted during the year in the line of fonner operations, and with a fair measiire of success; the Trinidad Mission has also been prosecuted as in years past, but shews greater vitality and nioro manifest tokens of advancement, the superior progress being the natural result of superiority of race and of surroundings. The one nnssion is directed to a heathen people del)ased by ages of .savage life, without government, and cut off from the civilizing influence of trade, or of intercourse with civilized men. The other is directed to a people who have inherited some of the advantages of .■».n ancient civilization, who are living under the protection of British law, in the employment of Christian men, and when ('hristianized can take the position of free labourers, mechanics, clerks, teachers, shop-keepers, maintaining themselves, and greatly aiding the mission- aries in their work. The advantages for progress enjoyed by the agents of the Church in the latter field are immense, and shew themselves at every step in the narrati>e to be given. Nearly every report and letter from both fields has appeared either in full or condensed in the Record or some other publication, leaving little that is new for the annual statement ; but the Com- nuttee regard the early and full publication of all facts and communications as they are received, ast far more importajit than the procluction of a striking report. The more salient facts are submitted with as much brevity as [)racticable, in reference to these fields in succession. I. -THE NEW HEBRIDES MISSION. The work of Christian missions on the New Hebrides Islands is conducted by missionaries in connecticui with various branches of the Presl)yteriaii Church as follows : — Mih.skinauv.

APPKNDIX. Ixix. ANKIX'AUHAT, ANKtTKUM. While enjoying furlough in Australiii, Mr. Amiaiul aiMrensed 14 iueetin),'s on Missions. Hetiirn- ing in April, he iittendeil Syno'l in June, and for the rest of the year hilioureil, to nso his own wonls, " with what success tiie i,'reat day will leveal."' Attemlaiice at puhlic worship ^'ood, and attention excellent; conduct of Ciiur-h members tjenerally commendable. The '2'2 schools are held in the niorninf,' daily, 4ind on Sal)b.i,th afternoon. Some young men and women becming careless, and removing to a distant part if the island, a high chief, Xavelak, volunteered to follow them as a missiimary, and with gratitude and joy his minister accepted his services, and he is now at his post. The event of the year was the i)lacing in the hands ><{ the natives, the third and last volume of the I'ible. The New Testament, or vol. 1st, was in their hands for seventeen years, the second, con- taining the liooks from .Tob to .Malachi, was distributed a year ago, and the third during th'- year lately closed, all lieautifully and strongly hound in calf octavo, Itlti.") pages. This is the first com .lete opy of the Bible in any of the many languages or dialects of Western I'olynesia, and the eigh 'i in the South Seas. Mr. Annand adds, " Our people made a great feast of rejoicing on receii)t of the new volume." The most gratifying facts are that the whole expense has been met liy their own contributions, and that both Mr. Annand and .Mr. Lawrie, who has charge on the other side of the islands, testify that it is being circulated and read. Having paid for their Bible, the Aneiteumese are now going to do something toward support of their missionaries. Mr. Annand reports as shijiped 8H2 li,s. of arrowroot, the proceeds to be given to the Foreign Mission Funds of this Church. In additior to this it is estimated that in keeping up their .school-houses, churches and mission hou.se they give one-twelfth of their time, thus giving, to say the least, the tenth of all. PRINTING. Mr. .Vnnand's work in this department maybe given in his own words :-" In addition to our own work, I have been enabled to give some assistance to brothers McKenzie and Roliertson in the way of printing. With the assistance of a native (who, by the way, lost his right hand the other day with a charge of dynamite). I printed a hymn-book of ;<2 pages in Kfatese, for Mr. McKenzie, .")00 copies. Also a small Bil>le History in Erromangau, for Mr. Robertson, TtiS copies. .\lso almanacs for 1881 for the whole mission, 1000 copies. Then, for our own people, I struck off four hymns, which completed the printing of the year, being in all aliout .S2,000 pages. KRAKUK, KFAiK Mr. McKenzie and family also returned from furlough by "Dayspring," in April, 1880, and was encouraged by a cordial welcome from hrs people to resume his labours, which he did to the full extent of his ability, and beyond it. He reports children going several miles to school, and when he felt from indisposition called to confine his own labours chiefly to F.rakor, states the gratifying fact that the more advanced natives from the other villages came to the centre to be instructed, that they might carry back for next Sabbath a portion for those for whom nothing otherwise was prepared. Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie both conduct Bible classes, and Mrs. McKenzie's is attended by thirty-one. HKLPINT, THKMSKI.VK.S. Here also translation and printing are going on.

Mr. McKenzie's want of health has pievented progress in the lieatlien villages, yet they are regularly visited bv native evangelists, and a teacher has for some time been allowed to reside at Bufa. A KEST. Feeling really unfit for work, Mr. McKenzie, with the fidl concurrence of his l)retliren, decided to revisit his native land, where he will receive f()r himself and family a cordial welcome from per- sonal friends, from the Committee, and the whole < Ihurch, whom he has faithfully and worthily served.

In less than a mouth he, with ids young wife, was in Trinidad, r. .idy to enter on the study of the Himhistani. Prior to his arrival the Mission Council, after examining the question of locality on all sides, had decided, and in the o|iinicin of this Committee, wisely, that .Mr. .Morton should take charge of the new fitld, and that Mr. McLeoil should occupy Mr. Alortnu's house, and enter into Ids labours, in due time, it is hoped, to gather in much fruit from the seed sown by his predecessor. In reference to .Mr. Mcljeod's work it is sutficient to say that he has addressed himself to the acquisition of the language with good prospect of success. SAVANNA HUANDE. No details need be given respecting the management of .Mr. Mnrton's field, as these have ap- peared in the Kfconl. Respecting results Mr. .\lorton writes: There has iieen no rush of the people to our services, yet they have lieen well attended. Opposition there has been, on the part of the .Mohammedans, from January to Decendier. No ojien Held attacks, but (pnet, persistent efforts to keep the children from our schools and the adults from ci\ir iidluence. Seventeen aan lli" i, were ordained early in the year, and iiave been useful in looking after our little flock and teaching the ignorant. While some of our [letiple have caused us anxiety, others have contributed to our comfort, and the general result, as seen in the conduct of our converts, has been encomaging. With the concurrence of his brethren. Mi. Morton spent a month in British Ouiana, loiiking careftdly into the work carried on by the Churches of England and Scotland among the immigrants from India. In that part of the South American continent he found a wide field, distant from Trinidad by steamer less than two ieii fully by any ag^'iicy yet at work. Hviilently Mr. Alorton and his brethren are anxious that the (Canadian Church should p\ish forward and do something for the sixty or seventy thousand heathen who are there. Doubtless there is a loud cairfor lal)ourers in the South American continent, and if our place in the New Melirides should be occu|>ied by the Australian Churches, the Canadian Church might find a most needy and inviting field without crossing either Atlantic or Pacific. SAN KKKNANIJO. !Mi. (irant's work seems to he continually exi>aniling and increasing, stations and schools multi- plying, so that his labours of superintendence and of preaching have become too exhausting for his strength to bear. He is ably assisted by evangelists, teachers and ndidsters, and the results exceed anticipation. Tlie new schools, three in mnnbrr in this district, sustained by the (lovernment, have proved .i success. A service has been sustainecl at each of these regularly, with an average of thiity- two adults. In these districts in the woods, where imndgrants have settled, many are thus being taught to read, in their own language, the Message of Salvation. In his report, Mr. Crant say.s : A few days ago I baptizeil inne persons, eight of whom read fairly their own language. San Fermmdo and six other stations have service every Lord's day. The Knglisli cougi'egation in San Fernamlo, gathered chiefly from the school, has grown in numbers, in intelligence and in self-reliance.

Connected with the school are seven little orphan girls, who are being trained under MisB Blackadder, of whom AJ'PENDIX. Ixxiii. four were baptized in December. This school is maintained by the Halifax Woman's Foreign Mis- sionary Society.

In none of the departiiu'nts of the Work, placed under the care of your committee, have any very signal results been achieved duruig the year, but in all of tiie>u the work has heuu advancing satisfuotorily. I. — MISSION TO Till'; INDIANS IN TIIK NOUTH-WKsT. The work at Prince Albert, on the Saskatchewan, has, during' the year, been iuul(>r the charge of Rev. John Maekny. No report luu been recived ilireclly from h;iu, hut from Rev. Dr. Rhuik and otliers iufoiinatlon hat' been receivtid which slu^ws that the prospi'cts in tiiat portion of the Held are ((uite encouraging. The Indians on Mi.H-ta-wassis' Ue>-ervo still shew an earnest desire to place tliemselvi^s umler the spiritual oversigiit of the i'reshvterian (Church. They liave evidi'iitly not foigotteu the good Impressions nia ie upon tiiem, long sinco, by your lirst missionary, Mr. Nihhet, ami hy Mr. Mnekay wiio then acted as his intnipreter. A petition signed bv all the heiids of fanidies upon the Reserve, was recently scuit by them to t'le Superintendent (ienenil of Indian allairs, asking him to grant to ,>our lulsslou fifty acres of laid for mission purpo-cs. Voiir Coiiiiiiittee, almost immediately niter their np)ioliitni(Mil by last Assembly, di cideii to niilhori/e the triciion ofasuilable residence f(U' a mis-ionary at this Reserve with a view to llui eaily iimosai of Rev, John Mucluiy to that point. Owing to various dtdays, the work has been kejjt back, but It is now well advam^ed, and will, it is expeoted, be ocunpleted during the present month. The In- dians are also engaged iu making preparations to vvv^'X a scliool-house for themselves which will also torve as a church. When Mr. Maokay removes to the UoHorve, ho will he iu the midst of a Ixx VI. AT'l'KNfUX. settlement of seventy families of Indians, who are earnestly tseeking his services. It is alco in every way probable that the number of Indians on the Reserve will increase. This will give Mr. Mackay a Held in every way more promising than any he has yet occupied. The Mission bchoo at Prince Albert has continued under the care of Miss Baker. Very pleasing testimony has reached your committee from many sources in reference to her abihty and success as a teacher. There can be no question that the school is rendering valuable service to the cause of education r.nd n^ligion in the settlement, and is also doing good wurk as a mission agency. For many years it was the only school in the settlement, and, although others have been established recently, it is still for its thoroughness and elliciency much preferred by the people, and is attended by all who are within distance to avail themselves of its advantages. There are forty-five names on the roll. The majority of the children are of mixed blood, and speak the Cree language. They are the class frcjm which teachers and other Worker.s in the Indian department should be trained. Eight In- dian children have been enrolled and enc luraged to t;ike the advantages of the school free of charge, but owing to a variety of causes their attendance is not very regular. Mios Baker reports that the children are generally tractable, obedient, bright and intelli.;ent, and are making satis- factory progress in their studies. Cordial acknowledgments are due to the Ilev. James Sieveriglit, .M.A., now in charge of the Home Mission woik at I'rince .\lbert for the great interest he has taki^u in the Indian work, and for valuable aid which he has c leerfuUy rendered to your Committee ia the general oversight which he h .s taken of the missioi. property, and of the inter- ests of tlie Indian work at that centre. The work at Okanas(>, and in the wide tield occupicid by Rev. Geo. Flett, has gone on much as usual. Mr. Flett's untlagging zeal and diligence are recognized by all who come in contact with him. The lirethron of the Minitoba Presbytery, who are best able to judge of his work, re- gard it with great satisfaction. The attendance at the Roseau school having proved too small to warrant the expenditure necessary to sustain a teacher there, it was decided to close the school, and dispose of the building, which was accordingly done. An opening of a more promising kind, having presented itself in ;\Ir. Flett's field, it was decided to plant a schol there. Tl' chief at Fort Pelly and his Indians expres.sed a strong desire to have a school established among tliem. The committee of the Presbytery of Manitoba, cc nsidered that the prospects of a successful school at this point were such as to wiiriant the ottlay necessary, and steps were taken to meet the wishes of the Indians. .\ grant of If 100 was made to aid them in the erection of a school-house, and the committee of the Presbytery of Manitoba was authorized to secure the services of a suit- abb^ teacher. A very considerable proportion of the salary will be met by the Government grant to the scliool. There is nothing special to report, in reference to the labours of the Rev. Solomon Tunk- ansuiciye among the Sioux Indians near Fort EUice. It is known, however, that his work con- tinues to give satisfaction to the Presbytery of Manitoba. It is matter of regret that, from some cause, the usual annual report has not bee>' received this year from your missionaries in the North-West, with the exception of Miss Baker. Tliis renders it impossible to give the detailed in- formation which is desirable. It is satisfactory, however, for your Committee to know from other sources that the work lias gone on as usual, and that a reasonable measure of success attends the labours of the missionaries. 11, — MISSION TO CHINA. During the year, the attention of the west '•n portion of the Church has been largely turned towards the evangelization of the teeming po^iulation of China. The presence in the country of the pioneer Canadiap missionary to that tield, and his j>o\veifiil addresses b ive done not a little to shame the lukewanunesn of juofessing Christians, and to arouse an in..!re8t in the work more worthy of its importHJUie. The courage, self-denial, energy and success of your missionary have secured him 2 to ^20 each for the support of the Hospital. The sum of |1H"), received from tliis source, is a pleasiur^ te8t''nony to the value of the institution, and to the place which it has secured in the coutideuce of the Chinese people. i'n(>d |rv of ,!(■ to inore Ihave •ring hich part lenso jthey lable isa))- tho Nht lunor had iiself ter a Isiou Ills a for liter- haa not but HI. — MISSION TO CKNTBAL IND'.V. It is with pleasure tliat your Committee are able to present, from this field, a more favourable report, than they were under the necessity of laying before the last (ieneial Assembly. It is satisfactory to learn that the dissensions which, for a linie, threatened seriously the stal'ility and Usefulness of thu .Mission, appear to be jiassing away, and tliat all tlie members of the Missicm stiitl are now working more haiinoniously tdgetliei'. The Mission Council in their annual repcjit, " wliilst rejoicin;.; in the woik done," express their " hopes for future! peace and jirosperity." In Central India, as the Council remark, it is still largely " a sowing time." The rejiorts, however, of the members of the statT. which liave been forwiuchnl, shew that, ■luring the year, a large amount of fiiithful work has bi'en done in a grent Held, wl.ite unto the harvest , and wliil(! few sheaves have yet been gathered in, there are many tokens that the labour has not heeii spi ;t on soil wliicli is likely, in the end, to prove unproductive. The details of these reports supply suflicient ground for the liinguagi! of the Mission Council, when they write, " tlnuigh as much has luit been acconi- plished as could have lieeii wished for, yet, on the whole, such has been our success, as to en- CifUiage Us to hope for i\u' time- when the whole of Central liulia shall be thoioughly evHn;.(eli/.ed," Itev, .1. M. Douglas reports that Sablialh and Thursday iveiiings have by him beiin devoted to English |ireacliing, as foruierly. The aitiiidance was on the whole encouraging. When he was absent at the hills, or engageil in district work, these services weie taken by .Mr, Wilkie. In the month of July, lie changed the mode in which he conducted his district work sonuiwhat, and, in order tliit he iniijlil remain out the whole week and have tlii' entire time free lor vernacular worii, the nuirsday service was dropped. The Siilibalh school, which is l'".nglish and vernacnlar, has kept up its usual iiiimbers. The numlier of iieatlieii hoys is rather great-T thiiM formerly, liut they are in gular and suspicious of Chiislian inllueiice. Mr. WiUie 1 iiighl the advanced class in Ivnglish. while .Mr. Douglas was occupied with the native helpeis, inquirers and others. The smaller children were taught by other niemhers of the Mission. A short vernacular service was usually held daily at It a.rA. in the Mission compound, chii lly for those iu the service of the Mission. During the rainy season Ixxviii. APPKNorx. two hours were devoted to the instruction of the catechists, helpera and others. The Acts of the Apohtlos and tlie JJook of (ienesis were carefully read in Hindi. During tho year Mr. Douglas bapti/.dd two men an 1 two children. Of the men, Basist Nar-tyan (Brahman) ia in the employment of the Mis.sion as a student and helper. He has done much in tUe distribution and sale of Christian books in the camp and city. Ho is humble and earnest, manifesting a good deal of Christian coiira;^e in his work. The other, Nizam:)odeen, a Mustulman of good family, ia at present employed a.s minister or chief counsellor of Holkar's .son-in law, and as far as known is faithful in his adherence to Chrisiiauity. His testimony is clear and decided. In December last, an order was issued by the Holkar's authority, ordering the scnool in the city to be closed, unless the missionary gave a written pledge that Christianity would not be taught. This, of course, could not be done. Mr. Douglas states, that in his negotiations, both in person and by letter, with the authorities in reference to this matter, he was met with the argument that in Canada the Bible is not taught in common schools. This fact deserves to be pondered by Canadians. The printing press has continued to render excellent service in diffusing the truth. There have been printed 43, 200 booklets and tracts in Hindi, 4,000 leaflets in Hindi and English, and 24,200 Sabbath scliool tickets, making a total of 0;ii<,4l0 pages of religious matter for the year. Since 1878, 2,115,560 pages have been printed by the Mission press. During the year, Mr. Douglas has devoted much attention to evangelistic work. Early in the year he travelled north to the Separ river, and east in the Gwalior direction, as fur as Kurel. Latterly he has confined himself to the district south and east of Indore. The details which he gives of this portion of his work are very interesting and encouraging. Ha made use of the measure of medical skdl which he has attained to treat tlie more common forms of disease, and even to perform the more simple surgical operations, .a this way the confidence of the people, who flocked to him in great numbers, was secured, and a favourable hearing obtained for the Gospel message. liev. J. F. Campbell presents an interesting report of the work done in Mhow and the sur- rounding districts. In its general character the work is much the same as that reported last year. There has been maintained a Sahbatii morning service, attended by from 40 to 45 persons, and an afternoon meeting for the study of the lesson by Sabbath school teachers and others. The Sabbath school for men, women and children has had an attendance of 50. A daily service has been held in the bungalow, chiefly for the servants and their families. The boy's school has had an alteuiiance of 42, and the girl's school i;5. Mrs. Campbell and her assistaLt iiave, in addition to the girl's school, carried on work in 2(5 hou-es. The houses visited by Mrs. Campbell belong to almost all sections of the native community, to whom she finds ready access. Among the various means employed ti make known the truth, Mr. Campbell mentions the distribution of the Scriptures, " a service of song," hospital visiting, street preaching, a public discussion for five nights with a Monlvicy a lecture in English by Mr. Wilkie, and another by a friend from Bombay. During the year Mr. Campbell spent ten weeks in itinerancy. The Gospel message was proclaimed in sixty places, including two mehn, or religious fairs. Many towns of considerable importance were visited. In his tour he sold 4 i5 volumes or portions of Scripture at reduced prices, and a larger number of other religious publications. " Encouragements and disapi)oi!it,mi;nts," writes Mr. Campbell, "have been mingled during the year. A most interesting young Hiiuloo lad, a laborious and successful student in thu I'arsi school, was, we rejoice to believe, brought to a i.aving ac(iuauitance with Christ in the month of June, when special meetings for prayer were hull almost nightly for about three w^eks. A few weeks ago, when ho succeeded in passing his matriculation examination, the time seemed to liave come for urging on his attention the duty of confessing Christ in baptism. His only ditliculty seemed to be that of his support, when cast off by his father ; and dreading to spoil him by pat- ting a human ol)ject uf tiust in place of the divine, I set before him Christ's teacliing on that subject, and schooled myself to patience. As I was starting on our January itinerancy, and it wms his fatlier's intention to tiku him to Ahmednuggar and perhaps leave him there, I gave hiiu letters to the American missionaries, tliinking li" mi;i;ht v/hilo there gain courage, or see his way more clear and receive baptism from tlicia. On my return, I found thai, during my absence, the (High) Church of Knglaud catechist had got hold of him and taken biin to the ch iplain, who liad sent him to tlio Covvley Father in Indore, and ho, though finding that he had been brought to Christ through us, and inslructetl hy us, and that while well and experimentally aeijiiainte I with the great truths of religion, knew nothing of the wi le ditfereuce between our teaching and their own, but as he told the chaplain, knew only of the v'liurch of Christ and wi-hed to be baptized into it, yet immediately liajilized him, and reco:.;nizing his high qualities, sent him to thi'ir hmise in Hoinliay to be trained as a missionary. Thus it is in Alimedim rgar, Malagasiiar, and elsBwliere, that these people steal away the spiritual children of others, while yet baUm, iia'l teach them their own errors, at the san i tune uiuh nehing t'lio^e who h ivo begotten them in the (tospel.

APPENDIX. Ixxix. was rablo lUDud 'aisi itli of few liave iilty piit- tliiit WilS liiia w.iy tlio who intol an-1 ,) liO 111 to II II' I till) Over mill ill «o a Rev. John Wilkie has dovoted as much of his time as possible to the acquisition of the Urdu and Hindi, the two languages most extensively used by the natives. The hirge amount of busi- ness devolve I upon him in connection with the Treasurorship of the Mission, wliioh he has transacted most satisfactorily, iuterfured to some extent with his study of the languages, but he was able as early as May last to make what he calls his " first stammering efforts " ;o address the natives, and from that time he has, with some degree of regularity, held services in the vernacu- lar. In August la-it. a house was secured in the heart of the bazaar, in which, with the aid of the catechist, services have been held almost nightly — the audiences varying from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty. In these services he was much encouraged. Many who came once returned again and again, and appeared to feel the power of the truth. Mr. Wilkie had a very interesting cla-is of young Brahmins, who for five months gathered regularly at his bungalow, professedly to study English, but in reality to study the Bible. Five of them were led to express their belief in Christianity, and their determination to become Christians. Two of them gave liim special encouragement. They forsook the worship of idols in their temples and homes, and openly advocated Christianity among their companions. Hut the enemy was not asleep. Influences which had been at work from the beginning were now put forth so powerfully that these young men were compelled to stay away from the bungalow, and the class was, to his sorrow, broken up. He is still hopeful that two of them will stand the ordeal of persecution, and will yet confess Christ as their Saviour. The medical studies, wliich Mr. Wilkie pursued in Edinburgh, have proved a valuable prejiara- tion for usefulness. Shortly after his arrival in India, in company with the Rev. Mr. Douglas, he dispensed medicines in some of the villages to the sick. These in many cases came to see liim at Indore, and brought their friends. Gradually the work grew, until in the month of Miy he often had as many as fifty sick people gathered at liis bungalow — a promiscuous crowd from all classes, an I often from considerable distances. After giving them sucli medical aid as he could, he liold a service with them, when many of them heard, often with manifest emotion, for the first time, the wondrous story of the love of Christ. This work has opened the hearts of many to welcome the missionary as a friend. Wherever he goes, whether in the villages around, or in the camp, he meets some wlio ha ^e been at the bungalow, and who are ready to assist him. Like the other missionaries, Mr. Wilkie has spent a good deal of time in visiting the villages arcnnd. Latturly he has directed his attention chiefly to a district about eight miles from Indoro. It is aliout six miles square, and has nearly a dozen villages with a population of from .50') to 2,000 each. These he has visited as regularly as possible, morning and evening, making known to them the (io-pel. This work he reports as very interesting and in a measure emiourag- ing. For nearly four months, also, while Mr. Douglas was at the hills, or out at district work, Mr. Wilkie took charge of the English services at Indore. Miss Rodger and Miss aicCiiogor have, during the year, met with a goodly measure of en- couragement iu their work among the woui'^u and children, to whose welf ire they have speoially devoted tbeir energies. Miss Rodger's zenana work has become more extensive. The number of houses opened to her steadily incriiased, until, at tbe close of the yoar, slie fouuil thut not less than fifty-one families had admitted her into their homes. This, of course, was a larger number than she could possibly visit frecjuently. Her lime, therefore, was devoted chieHv to those who seemed m >sc interi!sted, aid who w.sre anxious she should visit them, while less fiequ'iit visirs were given to others. Only eight of the women iu these houses can reail in tlieir own languagi'. Miiny of the women desired to be visited as often as twice a week. In almost every case tliey are more friendly than they were a year ago, and frequ.'ntly of their own accord a-ked for tli" reudiii'j; of the Scriiiture-i. Miss Rodger has under her a school for girls in the bazanr. Tho attendance has bden very regular for the jiast eight months, except in HL',iteniher and Ootol^'r. Tlio number in actual attendance ranges from ten to sixteen. In this school tli') pupils iir^' taught reading, writing, arithmetic, sewing and knitting. Tlie young-.a* chilJnn use tho First and Second Hindi books, printed at th" ^Mission press, wliich contain many portions of Scripture truth, while tho more udvanotid use thu N\'W T'lstam 'tit as a reading h xik. Miss Mcftregor's work is lurgidy of tho same kind, but dilTfriiig in details. In old Indore Miss Mctrregor visited fourteen faniilit's, but there the women and children of sevt^ral houses used to meet her in one, so that she had often imm twenty to forty iiresent to listen to the reading of the S(U'iptures and tho singing of hyiiius. In new Indon' the work was sc irc(>ly so encouraging, but there slie visteii six families twice a week, iiiul taught the /.enana ladies needlework, aii(i instructeil them eiunfully in (hisp.d truth. In tho ha/, lar she had (.'i^'ht famdies which welu' ed her reguliuly In this way she was able to luiiig tlio light of the ('ro>p( 1 directly ti l\n) women and childr.'U of tvvi'iity-eiglit liotisidioids, and to niiuiy others through tliem. Mis- Mctiregor has also taken active jiirt in school work. Two siniill viUige schooU and a school in the lii/.aar have bi'cn under her care. These supply many (ippiutunities of milking known the wny of lif(>, not only to tho >oung but also to their )mrents. Miss Met rregor has also begun to make use of the medieal skill slh< attained in Catinda for the tieatment of women by (dectro-theiap'Utics, and v/oinen of th'f highest caste are availing tlicmsidves of this mode of treatment, in iirefertuice to the publio disp.'ii-i;iries. No ohjection is made on the ground of caste. The house, which was |)lai'ed at Miss Mctlregor's dispisal liy a native gentleman, whoso mother is pliysioiao to the Maharanee, is visited each (biv at a slated hour, and hnfor.* lenvin.; a short service is held, to whicli all the ladies remaiu.

From these details it will be Be>'n that while no very marked results have yet been achieved by the Mission in Central India, the Gospel is, tLrouf^h a great ^ari^.ty of instrnmeutHlities, rea<'.hing the minds of the people; and the promise is .sure that "His word shall not return unto Him void." The following statement of the Keceipts and Expenditure for the year deserves careful attention ; and it will be found that while it is not all that could be wished, it presents ground for real thankfulness.

It is a disappointment that it has not entirely disappeared ; but tlie tiiuuieial position has improved so much that tlieie is no small ground for thankftdness. It is to be hoped, however, that tlie Chmch will not rest until the debt has not only been swept away, but more labourers are sent out to the Foreign field. The ([uarterly financial returns now r-'ceiveil fToni India and China regularly, shew that there are no liabilities in these fields which the local treasurers have not funds on haini to meet. The marked increase in the funds for tlie year is doubtless largely due to the loyal response on the part of many (;ongre,L,'ations to the call of last .\s>einbly to endeavour to double their contributions for the year, and to ti.e (joweiful impiession maile by Kev.

It is ho] cd that this loble example of Chiistiau liberality wdl be copied by other frienils of the Foreign Mission cause. The l{eport of the Standing Committee on Juvenile Mission work is jiresented in full as an apiieiuli.v to this Report. Jt speaks for itself. It will be seen that the work liiis been advancing satisfactorily under the able and iMiergetii: nuiuairenient of .Miss .Macliar, the Secretary-Treasurer. Thei'e is, however, no reason \',liy the Sabbath schools of the Church sliould hot do much more to aid the CKUse of I'oreign .Mission-. The Woman's Foi-eign .Missiiniary Societies contiiuie to prosj)pr, and give [ircunise of proving most important auxiliaiies to your i'oreinn Mission Committee. The Society of the Presbyteij- of Kingston reports eight branches, and has sent SM^i to aid mission work at Imlore. The Woman's l''oreign Missionary Society (Western Section) reports forty-nine auxiliaries and nine mission bauds, It Iwi;.. lai'ied during the year the noble sum of .S4,(i(ifi,ri5, and has paid to Kev.

These facts aic full of encouragement, and indicate the propriet,.- of early steps being taken to increase the stall' of lady missionaries and of those agents whom tlie>e Mieieties are more specially desii,nieil to su]iport. This, of course, can only be done prudently, in acc(U'(lance with the r;'(|uiremeuls and openings presented in the fields occupied by the Church ; but your Committee trust the wa\' will soon be prepared for a further ailvance.

The Committee of the Juvenile Mission S'l'heme report with satisfaction an increase of interest in the Scheme, shewn in the number of schools not i>reviously eontril)utinK, which have this year sent in remittances. Some of these are not large as yet, but ^'ive i)roniise of a growint; iiiterest. On the other hand, some schools which have long contributed have fallen off souiewhat in theirrontributions. This, however, is not surprising, considering the discouragements which have naturally had an effect on the interest of the children. The orphanage at Indore, which promised to be a useful institution, and at one time contained fifteen girls, all of them appropriated to Sabbath Schools, has been closed, owing to unavoiilable circumstances ; and only two of the inmates, whose supjxirt was so willingly undertaken by our schools, now remain under the care of the Mission. As the sujjport of orphans has .always lieen the object which seemed most strongly to draw o\it the sympathies of the children, and as we do not now undertake the support of new jn'ottyi^i at the Scottish Orphanage in India, while only a few of the old ones yet remain on the list, it is not strange that a l)lank should be felt which should tenii)orarily check the interest felt in the Scheme. Several day schools, however, are still su|)j)orted at C'alcutta, and those fit Indore have a special claim on our interest, while we may hoi)e that ere, long, we shall have some work in Forinosa calculated to excite the sym|iathy of children, who are always most stimulated l)y knowing that their contributions are directly benefiting other children less ha])py than themselves. The appointment of catechists in Trinidad and '■.he New Hebrides has also been delayed beyond the exjjectation of the Committee, and in consequence of finding no special opening for their interest in the Foreign Mission Field, some of our schools have turned their attention more towards the French Mission, and other Home Missions certainly {)osses8ing strong claims on their sympathy. By direction of the Foreign Mission Committee, a circular was last summer sent to all the Sabbath Schools — at least in Ontario and Quebec— asking for special contributions towards defraying the debt on the Mission buildings at Indore, but only a few remittances he., e been received in response to that appeal. As this Scheme, in directing the attention of the children of the Ch\n-ch to the work of Foreign Missions, affords an admirable opportunity for educating them into an intelligent interest in this great work, the Committee would respectfully i)lead for a warmer and more efficient sympathy on the part of our ministers generally, in f. Scheme which, under their fostering care,, and the Divine blessing, might become an important feeder to our mission finids, as well as a training scimol for raising warm, active, and intelligent friends of the future Foreign Mission work of our Church.

Dr. Gret-'g reports that, as in former years, he conducted the classes in .\nnl()gctics. Church Hi'toiy, and Bible History. lu Apologetics, the usual topics of Natural Theology and the Evidences of Christianity were discussed. In Cliurch History the periods from A.l). 7')."> to present time were reviewed. In Bible History the life and letters of Paul were consid.-red. Professor McLaren conducted the senior and junior classes iii Systematic Theology, the senior class (second and third years) the subjects discussi.'d were the Atonement, Kingly Office of Christ, Eff(;"tual Calling, Justification, Adoption, Sanctitication, the Moral Law, the State of the Soul after Death, the Second Advent, the Resurrection, the last Judgment, and Future Rewards and Punishments. This class also underwent a written examinaliuu upon Fairbairn on the Kevelation of Law in Scripture. The junior class (first year) was occupied with the Inspiration of Scripture, the Rule of Faith, the Attributes of God, the Trinity, the Decrees of God, Creation and Providence. The students of this class gave in, each, a theological essay. Dr. Proudfoot taught Homiletics to the students f the second and third years during the first half of the session. He delivered thir;y-five lectures as a course on this science. He heard and criticised, in the class, twenty-eight discourses of students, applying in his criticism the principles which had been expounded in Isis lectures. Texts for sermons and lectures were pre- scribed to the students of the second and first years. Dr. Proudfoot bears testimony to the good results of furnishing the students, in advance, with an outline of t!ie lectures to be delivered, thus enabling them to give their undivided atten- tion to the lecture while it is being read. He further strongly expresses the conviction that three months is an insufficient part of a student's course to be devoted to bomi^tical studies. All the professors attest the diligence and exemplary behaviour of the students. In the Preparatory Department Mr. D. McColl, B..V., was re-engaged as Tutor in Latin, and Mr. John Gib^on, B.A., was appointed Tutor in Greek. The several years are as follows : — Third Year — Messrs. John Campbell, Andrew Meldrum, W. S. McTavish, J. C. Willert. Second Year — William Cowie, John Gardner, J. S. Hardie, H. C. Howard, John G. Hen- derson, William Fleming, J. B. T*IcLaren, Edward Snyder, Charles llutherford. First Year— .Vug. H. Drum, Jos. Higgins, William Patterson, liobert Mclntyre. Messrs. Gardner and Rutherford of the second year have intimated their purpose to enter the regular course of the University next session, and proceed to graduation. It is unnecessary to say that the Senate approves of this purpose. Mr. McColl reports that the senior class in Latin (second and third years) met twice a week for reading and grammar, as did also the junior class ; and that the two classes, together, de- voted one hour weekly to Latin Prose Composition. The senior class read the First Oration of Cicero against Catiline, and the Fourth Book of the Georgics. They overtook also ihe first thirty exercises in Arnold's Prose Composition. The work overtaken by the junior class was Cesar's Commentaries, Book III., ('hs. 11.5; Virgil's jEneid, Book VI., 1-300 ; Latin Grammar to Syntax ; and eighteen exercises of Arnold's Prose Composition. An examination of these classes was hell at Christmas, which was jiassed by all the students except one. Messrs. McTavish and Cowie were prevented l)y illness from taking the closing examination. Mr. Gibson had the same arrangement in the meetings of his senior and junior classes as obtained in the classes for Greek. The senior class read Odyiisey, Book IX., l-'M\2 (lines-), and the junior class, Xenophon Book I., 7-9(chaps.), during the first term; during the second term the senior class read Demosthenes, Philippic I., and the junior class. Homer, Iliad, Book I., 1-222 (lines). The two classes met togethe; one hour per week for Greek Grammar. Both tutors speak with satisfaction of the regularity of attendance, and the dei)ortment of the students in their classes. Prof. Gregg has again laid the College under obligation by giving instruction in Mathematics to the students of the fir.^t year. Mr. Richard Lewis gave instruction in Elocution, meeting with his class once a week during •ill Ixxxviii. APPENDIX. the firHt torm, and twice a week duriug the second. Thia olasH was open to all the Btudents, whether in Theology or Arts. The liibntriau, Mr. A. 15. Dobson, reportn that the library was open for half an hour on four afternoon)), weekly. At the beginning of the Bession the books taken out for the Hunimer of IHHO weie with few oxceptionH returned. During the sesaion two hundred and tifly three vohimeH were taken out and returned again to the library. This statement by no nn'ans rep- renoutH the uhc made of the library, as the books of the consulting department are not allowed to be taken from the room in which they are kept. At the disti ibution of books for the coming vacation on Friday last 300 volumes were taken '"ut. Contributions to the library have not been so large as in the two preceding years. Several volumes of the liitrniiilinndl Jit'ricw were jircsented by the Uev. Mr. Hamilton, of MotluTwell, and several works woie brijueathed by the late Sam.ie] .Sprciill, Ksi]., and to his many benefac- tions to the library and the College, the Chairman of the Colb; c Board has added the present of a copy of iho splendid /r/c-.w/HNyc edition of the Codex Alexiindrinus (N.T. part) lately issued. The Council of the Presbyterian Alliance have sent to the College a copy of the report of their proceedings iit rhiladolphia. The Senate has again to record its high appreciation of the scheme of University scholar- ships, and its thanks to the congnigations and individual friends of the (/ollti^e by whom theme Bcliolarships are annually contributed. It has been decided by the Senate that in order to entitle him to hold any of these scholarships, a student must give attendance on the classes of his year at University College. The Senate has resolved to attempt the endowment of the Gaelic scholarship m the Theolo- gical course. It is extremely inconvenient to bo under the necessity of appi^aling to the Church every year to contribute the amount of this snivil scholarship ; and it is confidently believed that we have a suflicicnt nainber of congregations "Ai-Jiin our constituency specially interested in pro- moting the kuowlodge of the Gaelic language lu ensure a successful response to the a])peal which will be made to place this scholarship on a less precarious foutidation. It cvnnot be doubted that we still need teachers who are able to minister the word of life in this ancient tongue. Mie Students' Metaphysical and Literary Society continues to prosecute its aim with much vigour and success. Mr. 1 )unciin MoColl, H.A., was Prenident for the year. In addition to weekly meetings of the members of the Society, for the discussion of metapiiysical and literary topics, and for practice in r(!ading and speaking, three public meetings were held by the Society in the College Hall. These vn're largtdy attended andpi.)ved very successful. This Society is regarded by the faculty as a valuabhuiuxiliary in the training of the .itudents for practicul work. The class for the cultivation of Sarri'd Music is now an established feature of the College, audits work has Iw^en entered into with much zeal by a large number of students. The Itidilintj Room has been sujiplied with the usual newspapers and periodicals. The Senate would gladly be in a position to aid the students in increasing the supply of periodicals of the higher order. There has been no remission of interest on the part of the students in tlieir own Miininnary fiori'.'tij. Tiie report m oi the Missionaries sent out last y(\ar testify to the importance of the work in which thin Society is engaged, and to the zeal with which it has been prosecuted. The liberality of several congregations and of many friends towards the Society is gratefully recorded. Inasmuch as the Stuiienls' Missionary Society (diiedy .)ccui)ies remote and nectmsitous lields, conducts its 'perations with the sanction of the seviual Pn^sbyteries within whose bounds its work lies, and is proving a valuable menus of developing missionary feeling among the rising ministry of the Church, and of giving them acicjuaintance with the practical duties of the Home Missionary, there is every reason why our people and our Church courts should regard this Society with much favour. The Senate, in conjunction with the Board of Management, as empowered by last (Jeneral Assembly, ap)>roached the Uegislativi^ A'nts of the said C )llege as are now taking the r(!guliir course of study therein, or have, before the ))assing of this A(!l, completed the said course, and arfi now ordained ministers of the Presbyterian Cliurcli in (!anaila, subject, however, in either case, to such regulations as to examinations or otherwise as may, fi.'in lime to timis be prescril)ed by by-law of the said Senate.

It is gratifying to note that eleven of the sixteen thus entering on theological btuily had either compieied a iulJ University course or were taking it. Vv-ry soon, it io to hd hoped, uo student will think of entering upon Theology without heing in this way prepared lor the wojk. Mr. W. G. Wallace, who passed the lioard iu 1880, hut had not heeu able to atttud during the latter partol the session, was admitted to the classes after the Chriftmas recess, and attended till the close, thus completing his year. In Apiil the clusiug examinations were hela with satisfactory results. The examinations were in every case sustained, and some students distinguished tliemselves by the fulness and cor- rectness of theu' answers. The Scholarships were awai'ded as reported by the Senate. BKNKFICIABY FUND. The Board is of opinion that a Beneficiary Fund, in addition to competitive scholarships, would be of great service to the Chuich. In tnis way, deoerving students who find themselves unsuccessful in competition might bo assi.-ited tlirougli the Senate. Any contributions for this puipose, if sent to !'• "..•■^iial Caven or the Chairman, wiil oe adminiatered as the donors may direct. All of which is respectfully submitted by JOHN LAING, C/utirnuin.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTKES OF (.H'EEN'8 UNIVERSITY AND TOLL EG E. The Trustees of Queen's University and Collef^e respectfully submit the following report of Session JHHO-1, the fortieth since the foundation of the Institution by Koyal Charter : I. ATTF.NDANCi;. The number of students in Arts, fjaw, and Theolo;;y was one hundred and seventy, of wlioin fifty-four registered themselves as students for the Ministry of our Church. During the last ten years, the rate of increase has been steady. Within that brief period we have increased five-foM. In lH7ti, when we first reported to the General Assembly, the total number of sturlouts wii- sixty-nine. In Theology, six students belonged to the last year of the course, all— with one exception who took his Arts course in Scotland — graduates in .\its of the University, viz.: .lamiw Uoss. M.A., H.l).; Donalil McCannel. B.A., .Tames W. :\Iason, U.A., John Chisholm, H.A.. :\I, S. Oxley, B.A., 1>. Kellock. Two others who had studied for six years in (^)ueen's — Robert Nairn, B.A . and A. F. Ijovc, B..\.— returned to their native country, Scotland, to finish their curricuUnn an 1 to receive license as ministers of the Church of Scotland, but with the full intention of re- turning to Canada. A ninth g .itleman, Mr. Joseph Andrew, a minister of the I'riraitive Methodist Church, who was received by the (ieneral .\ssemb!y in 1H7ived. Intimation has also lieen made to u>< of a beiiuest by the late Kev. -lames Hume, Kennebec Hoad, which is to be applied to founil "the il'ime scholarship" in Theoloi»y. The Chancellor, Sandford Fleming, l'',s(i., (.".M.( l., has intimated his intention of giving a gold medal every year during h.s incumbency of the olHce, and has announced the subject of three essays to bo competed for in IHSl, aiul attached a prize of fifty dollars to each. The Gov- oruor-General also gives a very valuable prize to the member of the graduating class in Arts who stands highest in th''(>e subjects. The above are of course in addition to those reported on previously. Some of our scholarshiiis lapsed last year, but generous friends iu Kingstmi and elsewhere came forward to offer others in their stead. III. IIIEOI.OOICAI. HTUDIKS AND LKCTUHKSniPS. In one of the deiiai'tments of Tiieological {''acuity, the subj-fcts taken up were -In Hebrew, first year, Wolfe's (Tianimar, Gen. i, ii ; Huth i-iv; I's. xxxv xxxvii. Second year, Geseniiis' Grammar, I's. ex-cxix ; Isaiah li-lxiii ; Dan. li, iii. In Bililical lOxegetics, Gosjitd according to APPENDIX. XCV. .rohu. In Biblical Anticiuities, OoliKr's 0. T, Tiieology ; Ltictures. In rliiircli History, Fisher's History of tlio Reformation ; Lectures. In the other ilepartmt'iit, the subject:* treated were Soteriology, Eschatology, aud Ecclesiology. The three years" course in Systematic Theology was thus completed last session. C'hurcli History was taught by Ilev. i{. Campbell, MA., of Montreal. The course covered the Keformation period. The te.xt-book used was Fisher. A special course on Apologetics was given by liev. T. ¥. Fotheringiiam. M.A., Norwood. IV. ENDOW.MKNT ITNI). The subscriiUious are being paid, on the whole, witli praiseworthy punctuality and at no expense to the University. Little was done during tln^ year in the farther i>r.>secutioii of the work. We again call attention to th." fact thut the dont)r of ihM receives in return a nomination uuder the seal of the I'uiversity that entitle-! hitn t ) send a student for the fo.ir years' ourse in .\rts and Science without payment of fees; aud that tlu^ ch)nor of S^OO founds a scliolarship, in virtue of which he can send a student every year, and the beuetit of which may Ite enjoyed by his descendants. V. THE NEW Bail.bINO AND CAMl'U.'<. Tlie new building was opened on University Day, Oct. KJtli, ainid great enthusiasm on the pint (if tlie students, graduates, friends aud the representatives of sister Cniversities. It was transferred to the I'liiversity by the Mayor on behalf of the citizens, to wli >m its erection is duo. and was dedicated by the Very Ujverend tiie Mide'rator of the .\sseaibiy. Tne M )derator of the >ynod of the bounds wa-i also present and took p.irt in ths jirooeedinv's. On the same ojcasion tlie Chancellor was inaugurated, and honorary degrees were coufenretl on the Moderator of the .V-^semlily, aud on the Clerk of the Oeneral Assembly of tlie (Uiiirch in Vict(M'ia, who had been sent to the Cieneral Council in Philadelphia as the represiaitative of his Church. Th j old btiild- iug has been leased to the Mjdical Faculty, wiih the exception of its Convocation Hall, which has been converted into a Gymnasium, open to all the students, uuder the supervision of the Alma -Mater Society. .\mong tlie advantages enjoyed in connection with the n(;w building may be mentioned the holding of divine service in the Convocation Hall on Sunday afternoons, when distinguished milli^ters — most of them graduates of the I'niversity though belonging to dilTerent denominations — liave preached to the students. This practice commends itself to the senate as most appropriate tJ the ideal of a Christian University, and has been found beneli'ual in various ways. Wo need say no more about the new building and the enlargoiueul of the campus, as the General Assembly will have an opportunity of inspecting both. VI. I'Uia'AliATOKY DEl'AliTiIENT. In our last report the discontinuance of the Pi('])aratoiy Department which had been in oper- ation for two years under the sanction of the Ass( lubly was recommcmded, and the Assembly having adojited tlie reiioit the (U^partinent has b.)en abolis)i(!d as far as ci)ncerns the I'eception of new men. Should students who desire to enter the Ministry be unable to take the regular course, wo shall submit their cases to the General Assemblv. VII. FINANCIAI, STATEMENrs. We have to announce a deficit of ?'l,ls<,) this year, Wo would always have had to report a considerable annual deficit had we kept the expenditure for the Faculty of Arts separate friiin the expenditure for the Faculty of Theology. .\t the Union, it was stated that, in tlie cir- cumstances ot the College at that date an annual contribution from the Church of $2, 150 was received to maintain the Theological Deiiartmeiit. In no year has this amount been received in full, in conseiiuence of the? inadeipiacy of the College Fund; in fact this year loss than lia'f the amount has been r(^mitted to our Treasurer. Again, since the Union the Theological Departinc^nt has lo.st in ditTerent ways much of what was considered in IstTo iiermaneiit revenue, and the loss has only been jiartially met by tlii^ l'".ndowment iMuid which i." now being raised. While this fact was explained in ISTU to the Commiltc^e on supjiort of Theological Colleges (Western section). Knox Colle.;e reported that it would thereafter requiie runch less than it had reijuired in 1H7,5. The General Assembly, howi'ver, took no special action on tlie Report of the Committee, and in lonseiiuence no change ha- been made in tlie distribution of the Fund. We therefore rosjieotfullv re(iuest the Assembly to direct that the College Fund be divided a^icording to the altered require- ments of the Colleges. In bringing this matter under the attention ot the Assembly we also tliink it our duty to sub- mit that the College Fund should lie augmented to such a sum as would enable the absolute reipiirements of the Theological Faculty of the University and of Knox ''ollege, in the mainten- ance of their existing stall's, to b(> fully met In name and bv appointment of the Board.

APPENDIX. One of the acts of the past sefsion was tlie inftitiiting of a course of study for the dogree of liachelor of Divinity. The I3oard, having? obtained the nece.ssary powers from the Provincial Parha- inent, a scries of regulations were drawn uj) by the Senate, making an amended Honour Course the ordiiiiiry course to the degree. In connection witli this, and at the desire of certain students, a post-graduate course lias been established, which the Senate hopes toon to be able to enrich with one or more llesident Fellowships. 'I he I'raetical and Doctrinal Monday Lecture has been given throughout the session, when in addition to the ordinary exercises, addresses were delivered by Principal Rainy of Edinburgh, Dr. .McKay of Formosa, Rev. N. Sheshadri of India, M. Reveillaud of France, Dr. John Hall of New i'ork, etc. The Missionary Society, the Literary and Philosophical Society, the Alma Mater Society, and the Editing Committee of tlie Collcje Jounml, have carried on their work harmoniously and successfully. Valuable additions liave been made to the Tiibrary, including the London /'(/c-.s/HnVi' of the " Cod* X Alexandrinus," from the Rev. (ieorge C'oull, M.A. , of Valieyfield, which Messrs. Morton, Phillips (V: Buimer have magnitictutly bound uniform with the "Codex Sinaiticus," and without expense to the College, and 21 H volumes, contributed by the Revs, Dr. Reid, Dr. (ieorge Patterson, James Torrance, Esq., and other friends. In conclusion, the Senate beg to express the hope that the staff of the College may speedily be so enlarged as to make the work of instruction still more complete, and that a sullicient revenue may be provided for the more perfect ecjuipment of the institution.

A crisis occurring in connection with public education in Nova Scotia, and the continuance of legislative grants to denominational colleges, while the one central college under control of (loverument could be maintained only by the aid of this body ; the Board availed tliomselves of the opportunity of waiting on the Government by deputation, and presenting a remonstrance against the continuance of tliis state of things, and claiming that, as in New Brunswick and in Ontario, the State should provide, from its own resources, a proper Arts course, leaving all Chris- tiii.n denominations who might wish .seminaries under their own control and management, to jiro- vide for their support from their own resources. The deputation were heard with respect, and though the Hxecutivedid not act on their suggestion, the outcome of the session of the Legislature has been the stoppage of governmental grants to colleges owned by denominations. No progress, however has us yet been madu in securing from the (tovernment such additii'nal recognition and suj)port for their own institution as would leave the Presbyterian body free to withdraw its funds, without serious injury and danger of collapse. Hopes are, however, entertained, that by friendly conference between the governing bodies of the various Colleges, a way may be found for centralization and public support, to some one teaching university, which may set free for our Theologieai College a portion, at least, of funds now employed in teaching parts of secular learning. nil. i'ollok's sai.aky. Notice having been given by the colonial Committee of the Church of Scotland, that the salary of Professor I'oUok should cease to be jiaid from Scotland from the begiiuiing of tlie present year, tlie Hoai'd returned greatful acknowleilgments for the liberal aid granted ever since tlie consummation of the union till the present time : and directions were given to the Secretary, tliiit the three tlieologic.il professors stand on jjrecisely the same footing respecting right and times of payment of .salary. C'OLLKOE K.VnoWMKN'T. The depressed commercial condition of the Maritime Provinces has retarded progress in collect- ing. During the last winter, the Board secured for ten weeks the services of Bev. .\. McLean Sinclair, to visit congrcigations in collecting subscriptions, and in getting new ones where nn canvass liad been made, or where it was unfinished. The sum of 1^'2,'i")4. HI was collected: liut pastoral duty i>revented a further prosicutiju of the work. I3i'twe(>n one and two thousand dollars were collected in Halifax in April. Thr receipts to May 1st have been '?(i2,l51.'21. As the time for the })aynn'nt in full of the entire .S10'',0(l() had more than expired, the Board at last mei!ting decided to ask till' Maritime Synod to appoint delegates to visit the Lower Provinci's witiiin the year to collect subscriptions, and to obtain the aid of all the congregations.

Shortly after the removal to Winnijieg it was foreseen that a College building of a different character would be needed. Accordingly a suii.ible site of two acres was obtained for 8o()0 in the northern part of *'if city. T'p till a year ago thi> was looked iipon as the future site of the College. The crossing of t.ie Canada Pacific Railway at Wn:nipeg and the C(Oi- struction of the Sonth-We.stcrn I'ailway coniiielled the Kcard to look for a new i -sting place.

On account of the time of those members of the College Board who undertook the canvass being so fully occupied, a considerable amount of the work is still to be done, anroperty, anoses. There was, however, an iiidebtei(l increase in the number of students attemling the C'ollege from year to year, and iimouiiting tiiis year ten duly signed, tiie building is und-.-r way, and, including all the matters mentioned, the cost amounts to 8:18, IKIO. The contractor is under bcmds to have all completed by November 1st of this year. It is believed that the new buildings will add greatly to the comfort of professors and students, and also the etficii'iicy of tiie College. As to the W(irk of the ( 'ollege for the year the Assembly is aware that jNTanitoba College is one of a confederacy of colleges in t!u> I'rovince of Manitoba, being the youngest of the three thus associated together, the other two having been established in some form or other early in the history of the old settlement of the country.

I'UOGIIESS or KKKNCH t'AX.VDIAX KV.VN(;i:i.I Allo.V. Though Canaila ceaseil to be a French colony and was ceded to Brit.iin in 1703, yet the Protestant Churches of the parent cnimtry neglected for fifty long years the spiritual interest,^ of the French Canadians, the ChiU'ch of Hoiiu', during these years, gaining many pmselytes from Knglish-speaking uiinanal Protestants who hail settled in the colony. The first French I'l'otestaut ndssionary was a Wesleyan, from (iuernsey, who laboured among tlie Fiencli in several parts of the I'rovince of (,)ueliec from 1S15 to l,s-_'l. During the next thirteen years nothing seems to have been done. The (irande Ligne Mission was established in ]8.')4 and the French Caiiailiau Missionary Society in 1S30. This latter Society, while su|niorteil largely by I'resliyteriaiis, was nun-denoniinational. After an honourable record of over forty years it recently withdrew frnm the field because nf the prosecution of the work uf French Canadian Jvaiigelization by the several branches nf the Protestant Church in Canada. During the jieriod of its existe •" it chcvdaleil upwards of 57,000 copies of Cod's Word and some the several hranclies of the Preslpyt'-rian ("iiurch carried on si paiate French < 'ana- dian nnssions. Since th'' union of tlw Churches in LS7") the work has made rapid strides, each ^uc- ceedinx year .sliewin^,' marked pro;^'ress. say that of the Sci (in the pa The Messrs.

The work of the I'oard is carriu Schools and J'reachiuj' Stations. on hj' means of three ajjencies, viz.: Culportaije, Mission I. — Colpuitdiji;. In many of the French i)arishes there are as yet few Protestants to he fouml, and so fanatic and priest-ridden are the jieople that to attempt opening' a jireachinj,' station or even a mission school would not only he a dan,L,'erons hut a futile step. The oidy method of reaching; the |)ei)ple in the.se densely settled and spiritually destitute districts is hy means of the colporteur j,'oiu,i,' from house to hou.se, scatteiini,' broadcast the seed of the Kini^dom, conversing' on Ilivine thing's with those williiii,' to listen, readin.Lf with them the VVoril of Life, and, when permitted, leaviuj,' in their homes a tract or a copy of the Itihle. The value of this kind of a;^'ency can scarcely he overe.stimated, — the earnest Christian tnissionary, with soul ai,dow with love to (Jhiist, meeting men and women, others being tlelayed in transit. On the outside cover of the 4,000 copies thei'e was stamped in gilt letters, " Sninriiiv dr .St. Jrtin Jiiiptisti; Qiitlur, /SSD.'' The I'xiard sent down a nund)er of their colporteurs to (^)uebec for the occasion, and nearly the whole 4,000 were distrilmteil to the strangers and others as they were leaving the city to return to their homes. In addition to these Xew Testaments there were distributed at the same time about llKOOO copies in Fi'ench of the Life of .fohn the Haptist, chieHy in the wonls of .Sciipture, prejiared by t' e Rev. B. P. Duclos, one of the missionaries of the Hoard.

To send his children there the conscientious Protestant cannot. To educate them himself he is fie((Uently unalile, as he never himself learned to read until far advanced in years, when his eyes were iipeiied liy the Spirit of Co 1, and in his eaj^'er thirst for spiritual fooil he has asked the colpurteur to teach him the alphaliet, that lie may read with his own eyes the wondrous storj- of the cross. If that man's children are not to Krow up in ignorance, either they must bo sent from home to he educated or the Christian teacher must lie sent to their home to instruct them. The Pxiard endeavour to pro- vide for their education in Imth ilirections.

There is (piite a number of l\ima.n Catholics fav.MU'ablv 'lir;)o.seil to 'iir v.'ork. They occasionally attend ciur services, and are very attentive to w'l J they lu-u. 1 ' ' ' yet too much for the most of them, iiunibers. 1.'^. The most effectual work anions them is done by visitation, whenever an intniduction can be "■" *hem to read the Scrijitures, and pointing out the contr.adictions between their corrupt teaching of theCiospcl. 1 hasc followereach controversial sermons. My exnerience convinced nie long ago that these irritate more than ;ittract heareis. I have, however, done so during this last lienten season, becaust; sham discussions were held every Sidibath night in the French Parish Clmich between two priests, one of whom pretemleil to present Protestant arguments that weie easily refuted by his opponent, to the nnitual satisfaction of pri(^sts ami peojile. The subject was, " NVIiat is the IJule of l''aitii'.'" I announced to the jieoole, many Koman Catholics beini; present, that T v'o\dd also discuss the subject, and ])reacheil t\vo discourses, with a very numerous .audience. The second Sabbath 1 was ru text, Uliat shall it profit a mail, et< , oae if my lionian Catholic hearers came up to me and said that what he had just heard had decid 'd him an I ids wife to join us. Tpon the wholi', I think that earnest (lospel sermons do tin- mo-t good. I have occiisionally .advertiseil special sermons, but the ditticulty is that l'"rench b'oman Catholics do not, a," a general thing read the linglish or the l''reneh J'roteslant papers, and the otoer-. enii he m.ist liberal of them, d' .e not insert onr ;idvi'rtiKeinentA.

These have lieen summarily expellt'd, and the effect has hijen ;.,'ood, shewin.L,' that, if anyone amonv; us jirofessed himself a Christian he would have to walk as (/hrist walked. The cheerfulness with which even very poor men and woTuen liave ^'iven to Church objects has also u;reatly encoura^'ed me. A very [)leasant incident of our work iias come to light this year, viz. : the gi'eat revival of reliLfion in Limanton (France), throut,'h .'tie of oiu' converts, a u: ivement that has resulted, as readers of the Rii'dviI already know, in thi; found iii,' nf two lart,'e Protestant con^,'retJations. Converts that have left Canada for France or the United -States freriuently write to nie, always speaking with lovo and gratitude of their sojourn here and of their old pastor. 17. Of course there are shadows to this pleasing jiicture. A few, afti'r h.iving been enlightened liy the Gospel, go buck, from various caus(!s, to liome. and their old superstitions. Ilappil v, they are '.ery few. Others, although nonuual Protestants, are a ili.sgrace to their profession. The annual depletion of this (Jhurch by emi;iration is very trying. Ijast year not less than twenty-three meml)ers emigrated, repri'senting, with their families, a total of aliout r-eventy-tive persons, young atid old. Filling a ciiui'ch under such circumstances seems lik." jiouring water into a sioi-e. It is true tli.at we have more than helil our own, lint how much Ijetter it wouhl be if our pi'ople had l)een aide to get remunerative emplnynient hei'e. The Chmch long ago, would have bei'ii filleil to overflowing. The ingratitude of some is also somewhat discouraging. Occasionally poor nu-mliers of the ('liurch have been put in a way to do better for themselves, ;;nd as soon as tliey have lu'come prosperous, tliey tnrn their Ijack to the Church and to the ( lospel, and repay our kindness by contumely ami ^ '.use. 18. But, ujion the whole, the encouragements are greater than the diseouragenn'iits. The rer'.ity a' '1 solidity of the work is seen by the far greater .and ahvays increasing number of civil acts, such as inscriiitions of births, marriages and deaths in our register. In ,'iddition to the thirty-five ba[)tisms mentioned above, I have othciated since .Vpril .'!(), IS.SO, at sixteen mai'riages and ■•ixteen fiuierals sixty-seven acts in all. In one instance the lionian (Jatholic neighliours of one of our eouverts threat- ened to mob the fimeral of a little cliild that had died, and I hiol to procure police jirotection. In aiiother, the friends of a convert hearing that he had gone to the Church to have a bal)y baptized, started after him to take the child from him, Imt could not come (qi to him. This shews how much more decisicjii it requires for a poor family "^o act out their jn'ofession than merely to conn; privately to us anil hand in their names as converts. As .Nome )ieoi)le are under the imiiressiiui that the most of our converts are little lietter than lieggars, I may mention that only nine fannlies of our comnnwiicants had need of assistance during the winter, their poverty being, in nearly every case, tin; result of >ickness or lack of enqiloyment. On the otiier hanil, a worthy couple of my congregation have ado[)ted an orphan bo\' from the infant.>' home, and are kee|)ing him as comfortalile as he would lie in a wealthy liome. 1 have, during the the last winter, received the adhesion of a wealthy professional man of the neighbourhood of Montreal, liut 1 fear he is not ready yet to brave public ippiidon by an open declaration (.i his faith. May (rod give him courage to confess the nam'.- of his Saviour liefore men I This sketch of our work would be ineomplett^ if I omitteil a short obituary notice of four of our best members, who are now enjoying the lest that I't" uiineth for the peojih; of (JmiI.

The fornui- auent of the Board in Britain — the Rev. T. Stevenson — completed his term of engagement in October. FINANCES. From the accompanying Financial Statement, it will be seen that §22,487.18 were received duiins,' the year towards the ordinary work of the Board, 81,'i77.4() for the endowment fund of the I'ointe-aux-Trt'nil lies Schools, •"*."), II17.71 (inclusive of fees, etc.) for the maintenancf; of the schools, anil •'?4,7l')-<.;d money. The estimated expenditure to carry on the work with efficiency for the ensuing year is ,«;,•<.• ;:oO, viz., 825,000 for tlif ordinary work, §0,400 for the Pointe-aux-Trembles Schools, and 82,0Uil, tho .',.»iance due on the Pointe-aux-Treml)les |)roperty. This estimate is based on the staff at present emjiloyed by the Hoard, and an increase of twenty-five ])upils to the nnndier in attendance last year at the Pointe-au\-Trembles Mission Schools. It is greatly to be desired that the revenue of the year will exceeil this amount to such an extunt^as to enable the Board to extend the weak by opening up new fields, and admitting as many pupils to the Pointe-aux-Trembles Schools as the buildings will accommodate. CLOSE. In summing uji this imperfect ?.i\iew of the work of the past year, the Board feel that there is much cause for devout gratitude to the great Head of the Church for the measure of success achieved. Xever has the work ai)peared more hopeful. The power of the hierarchy is very evidently on the wane, the people generally are nuich more acces.sible, the spirit of persecution israi)icUy ilisappearing, and the missionaries, and teachcis, and col|)orteurs of the J5oard enjoy, with rare exci ption.s, perfect immunity in the jirosecution of their work. It must not, Iniwever, be forgotten that there yet remains nuich of the land to be (lossessed. Nearly a million and a ipiarter of our French-speaking fellow subjects are still in spiritual darkness. Self-interest, tlie jiolitical. social, moral and religious lil)erties of our children, and tiie future weal "f our l)oininion, all demand the most vigilant and liurenntting effort for their enlightenment and evangelization. It is only l)y a broad view of the whole field and the forces at work therein, by systematic etfort, by mont\y, liy self-denial, by earnest prayer and hundile deiiemlence on the help of Cod's Sjiirit, that the conversion of the Krench (!anadians to Clirist and to the pare faitli 'if the ( iospel can be accomplished. To be satisfied with anything short of this is but trifling with the gravest piciblem that has ever come uji f(U' solution in our Nonunion. KECOMMKNUATION. The Board recommend that the General Assend)ly, instead of appointing, as heretofore, a Board consisting "f between fifty and sixty members, and an Kxecutive Comndttee of those mendiers residing in Nbmtreal, appoint a Board nundiering thirty meniliers, to hold at least two regular meetings annnall,\-, llir tra\i'llinLr expenses of thenuuubei's to be paid from the fund and the Kxecutive to be appointed liy -aid l>oaid at its first meeting each year. All of which i- respectfully sul)milted. 1). H. McVICAR, LL.H., Okairman. KOBT. H. WARDEN, Hirretory-Trnmircr. Mii.Nl'UKAL, M.'' J tail, ISSl, AI'PKXDIX. oxxv. r<>i;M t)F I'.Kiil'EST.

The above exhibit of true, earnest and f,'ood work, shews how unfoninled the fear.>i of our rural and villai;e con;,'rej,'aticuis are that the towns and cities would nionopoli/e the Imnour, also the prophecy of the whole scheme bein^' impracticable, as proclaimed by the towns and cities. This prophecy is not yet fulfilled. A t;laiice at the examination questions will shew th.-vt there must have been careful study and tlioiij,'htful intelligence to answer them. V'our T'ommittee are in no way iliscouraK'ed at tlie result, i'Mt |Miy that the Lord may multiply such students of His Word an hundred-fold, and that pastors may see that tho.se whom they most help will in turn be their best heliiers, whether as elders or Sabbath school teachers. The reports from those who have cotnlucted tlie various classes without exception are encouraging; and even where the class has not kept up in interest to the end, they do not blame the scheme but the ilitticultv of arousinj,' to etfort, and suggest the [irobable fact that there is a lack of a)itness to teach as weh as inditt'erence to study. Those who have conducted classes give their cleaily expressed testimony that often those who were best (pialified to enter upon the written examination have hesitated, and from timidity Indil back, and that although the number coming up to examination appears small, yet much good has Ini'ii etfected - in larger views and a tinner grasp of the portions of the Word stuilied ; and while much counsel has been given, and alterations suggested in matters of detail, no one who has attempted the work has declaicd it impracticable, but say "go on; this is in a fruitful direction.'' In the light and information of these facts, your ( 'ommittee would here ackliow ledge a document forwanled liy the Hamilton Presbytery direct to the Committee, in which, among other things, they say of the recommenilations aneiit increasing the teaching power of the ( 'hurch, that wdiat is pro- posed is "impracticable, e.xj)ensive, oppressive in its opi-ration, and points to the creation of a iieiv set of office-bearers in the Church ; that such classes for the helping of .Sabb.ith schmd teachers are perhaps possible in a city C(uigregation under \ery favouralile circumstances, but not in the least a|ipropriate to the majority of the charges in t!ie Church." N'our f'oiiunittee ha\'e no controversy with any Presbyteiy represented in this .\ssembly, but these statements, bearing the official stamp of the I'resbytery, are not borne out by the facts of this report. The most impr.u'ticable point lie>, not in the means lU' the methods of helping Sabbath school ti^achers anil awakening interest in a larger study of the WiumI, but in th" refusal to test a priti^'al scheme liy experiment. The object sought is imperative to the life of the Church, and here is a line of effort of a distinctly educational eliaracter. .Shall we give it up as impossible, or shall we continue to stiugL,de with tin- conilitions of strength and UHcfiiluess'.' Tict our people find a new miMtdng in the Divine oiacle which declare-,, " And a little child shall lead them," for our little children will soon control the destinies of the Presbyterian Church in this Dominion. They are to lead the inhabitants of |'"ormosa out of the superstitious Worship of their ancestors. They are to lead I ndore out of the de^rl•,tdaticul and crushing oppression of llindooisni.

During the year, the Committee authorizecl the jiublication c.f an edition of the Hymnal in small type, bouml up with the I'salms and Parajphrasi's, for use in Salibath .Schools.

So soon as convenient, after last meeting of your Venerable Cotirt, your Committee sent down to Sessions a nrepared list of ipieries, soliciting information as to the state and progress of religious interest anil work in theii' respective congregations for the year. Uejiorts on' these returns from Sessions, were submitted in due time to their respectivn I'resby- teries ; and a summary of these I'resliyterial re] loits was submitted to Synods ; and now the direct '■■'"■ ' '"* ''-'- ■ "- present, in a condensed form, the subject mattei' of the reports to ilutv of vour Committee is ti f! K CXXXIV. AI'PKNIUX. Syii"'l8 : thus unifying lirin^'ini,' into a fucus the infn imjierfect data, are remarkal>ly full and clear. It is, however, matter of serious regret that every one of the reports complains of .i neglect of duty on the i)art of sonie of the sessions which have failed to send in leturns. Tlii-* neglect h.'is occurred in so many instances as to detract very much from the value of the statement- submitted to Presbyteries." It is also added that sonie of the answers are so brief and uusatisfactnry oi \ague, as to be [jracticaMy of little value, e.xcepc as indicating a lack of interest in the siibjeit. In the rejtort of the Synod of Toronto and Kingstim, whilst the Committee " Are glad to think that upon the whole they are permitted to present a more favourable report than for souie years jiast, It is stated that this is not owing to any increase; in the number of returns sent in, but rather tu the matter r;ontaiiied in these returns." Out of a total of L'O.t charges, oidy IIH have made leturns, and it woidd appear from the report, that a few of the Presbyteries of this Synod had neglected the duty and the privilege of holding a conference on the subject. I'erhaps this has been the case in all the Synorls. It is added, howevei', that in most of the I'l'esbyteries the reports have been the subject of interesting and jirofitable conference. It is matter of much gratification to timl these conferencis becoming more general, and it is to be hoped that ere long their observance will be universal." " In the case of Kingston L'resbytery, a worthy effort was made to supplement the scanty supi)ly "f writte.i reports, by asking and receiving in i onference oral statements on the subject from all wlm had not ahead' jported, a course of pi'ocedure which may prove suggestive to other Presbyteries. In the of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, it is stateortance of the claims of religion,"' manifest in the returns received. In that of the S\ nod of HamiUon and London, it is stated that "The answers to this ini|uiry are on the whole favourable. There are in many congregations encoiwaging indications, although nothing so nuirkeil as to call for special notice. So far as the reports go, tlu-re is nothing to boast of and nothing to discourage. It is manifest that the claims of religion find a |ilace in the hearts of the people, though, perhaps, not the supreme place which they ought." Some nports from the Presbyteries of this Synod express regret that the subject of family worship and family religion generally, did not receive more atten- tion in the returns of sessions, and a fear that this duty is not so well attended to in the families of our Church as it ought to be. n incrca.siiKj Ke)i.t( of the supreme import- Arpf:Ni)ix. cxxxv.

Tlie reports of the other three Synods are most favourahle. "Many of the returns speak with a positiveness as to the increase in the exercise of this grace, which is wanting in the answers to the iiuestions generally." Another report states that "If liherality lie a good test of (.'hristian life, we have cause to rejoice liecause of the very general testimony to increase in the grace ; but while this is so, we note that those who sjieak encouragingly agree that much more could and shouM be iloiie." Some complain that "the willing few give tlie large proportion :" and that "the majority fail to give in anything like a fair proportion." ( )n the whole it is appnrent that generally speaking the siijiport of ordinances is very fairly distributed over the nieuibersliip : jierhaps the jioor or wu'king classes bearing an honourable share, and exhibiting a higher jiroportionate standard of liberality than their more wealthy neighqours. The returns seem to say that giving for the sujiport of ordinances, and also for mi sions, is largely by the heads of families, especially where the enveloiie system or wceklv offering has been introduced. However there are many cases in which the young, when possessed < f the means, give on their own res|ionsibility ; and in nearly all instances siiecitied. they contriliute ti the schemes of tin- Church by means of Mission Hamls, and particularly through the Sabiiath school, some of which give huge sums to the niissi .is and other schemes, .\ttention is callei! in one report to the fact that many congregations ai'e struggling with heavy ilebts, and do not contribute as might be expected to the missions of the Church.

P.

EEPled at JJerne in Switzerland a great congress c>f 410 delegates from Sabliath Defence Associa- tions throughout Europe and America, to hold the second annual meeting of the Liternationid Federation of Lord's Day Societies. Denmark, France, (iermany, Holland, Atistria, Hungary. Belgium, Italy, Norway, Uussia, Spain, the United States of America, and Britain were all repre- sented in that international congress. The congress itself wa.s an evidence that the interest tlius awakened is growing. The Kmi>eror of Germany, the King of Wurtemburg, the Grand Duke nf Baden, and other sovereigns were representetl by their ambassadors or their high ecclesiastical functionaries. The President of the Swiss Iteiiublic received a deputation from the congress, an 1 gave them the assurance of his sympathy with the efforts of the Federation. In the Forty-ninth Annual Report (IHSO) of the Society in London, Kngland, for the Due 01)servance of the Lord's Day, the following statement occurs : -" Your Committee have l)een in correspondence with the New Ymk Sabi)ath Committee, on the suggestion of a gentleman interested in Newfoundland, touching com- plaints as to the conduct c)f I'nited States fishermen who fish in Newfoundlaml waters on the Lord's day, when the fishermen of the coast al)stain from their work in obedience to the ordinances of the C'olony and in the fear of God. The object which your Comuiittee have in view, and which they hope may be attained, is the securing, at the approaching revision of the Fishery Laws of the ITnited States, the passing of clauses to protect the Colonial Fishers in their regard for the Lord's day." The stand taken in the interests of Sabl)ath observance by the Pan-Presbyterian Council in September last at Philadelphia is also well worthy of notice. Dr. (ireen, of Princeton Tiieological College, called attention to the fact that the Council had ac(!epted an invitation to attend the animal fair of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, which had violated the Sabi)ath by throwing open its Kxhibition to the public on Sundays. After a brief discussion he moved to reconsider the action of the Council. This was agreeil to, and the subject was tabled. It is also gratifying to know that the first attempt to introduce Sabbath concerts in opera houses and theatres in Canada has been so promptly and successfully opposed. On the .'51st of August last the following extract from a Toronto daily paper was read with great pleasure by very many :— "The .fudges of the Court of C,>ueen's Bench yesterday unanimously upheld the decision of the I'olice Magistrate in reference to the well-known Sunday concerts case, 'The (^ueen v. Lucien Barnes.' As manager of the Royal ( >pera House Mr. Barnes was committed under the statute 21 George 1 11., cap. 4!', for holding a concert on Sunday evening. The conviction was appealed against chiefiy on the ground that the Act did not apply to Canada, as the preamble referred to London and Westmin- ster, and as there has been subsequent legislation in Canada that was held to supersede it. The decision yesterday sets the matter at rest for the present, and there is lik-ly to be no appeal in this case." In the report of the Committee c)f the Synod of Toronto and Kin.ston on Sabbath observance an incident is mentioned which illustrates the gre.it influence which r lithful Christian men holding office in the public service might exercise in the way of suppressing Sabbath profanation. An excursion from Picton to Kingston, to come off on the Sabbath, wiis arranged last summer jirofessedly for religious objects ; but the < 'ollector ijf Customs at the fcu'mer place refused to allow the steamer to li-ave the port, and thus terminated what would otherwise have been a gross profanatiim of the Satit)atli. In the city of Halifax the directors of a sugar refinery were waited upon by a delegation of the Evangelical Alliance with reference to alleged desecration of the Lord's day in connection with the enteritrise. The delegation received the most am])Ie assurances that the sanctity of the Sabbath would be respected. The members of Committee, associated with members of other evangelical Churches, have re- monstrated once and again with the authorities of the Intercoloiual Ilailway, and they have received repeated assurances that travel on the line would be reduced to the smallest possible miuinuim. The manner in which these assurances have been carried out has not given full satisfaction ; but it is hoped that further concessions will be secured. Your Comndttee have also much pleasure in adverting to the prompt, vigorous, and successful action taken in the interests of Subbaih observance along the Welland Canal. On the 22nd of October last an order was issued by the Minister of Public Works to open the Wellanil Canal during twelve hours of the Sabbath, viz., from 12 o'clock on .Saturday night to *i o'clock on .Sabbath moriung, and from (i o'clock on S,abbath evening to 12 o'clock on Sabbath night. Had this tentative change been silently submitted to, the prolialiility is that very soon the canal would have been o[iened during the whole of the Salibath. Very strong public feeling was, however, aroused by the action of the Covernment in this matter, and steps were taken to give expression to public opinion. The thanks of the Assemldy and of all Christian jieople are tlue to the friends of the cause AITKNDIX. CXXXIX. ill Meiritton and St. Catharines fm- the action taken. Tlie fnUowing i.^ a copy of tlie resolution aiii)i>teil at a pulilic nu'etinjf helil at Merrittoii : — Moved by Mr. A. T. Fotlierin^'hani and seconded l>y Mr. Noah Phelps : •'Whereas, under dirnction.s fmni the 1)- • i at < )tta\va, the ioi'kn on the Welland f'anal ;ire opened for the abath ilet^ecration under the Ontario Act, many of them bein^ at the same time compelled to elect between the violatii>n of their own conscientious convictions ami the loss of their situations. "And whereas the feelings of a large portion of the community vlong the line of the canal are outraged by this flagrant desecration of (Jnd's day under the sanction of (lovernment, and l>y the ilisturbiince of the peace and sacredness of the morning and evening of the Sabliath by the passage of vessels through the canal in the course of their ordinary employment, as well as by the knowledge that a numberof their fellowmen ii: the ( Jovernuient employ and on the vessels are being unnecessarily deprived of their rightful privileges. " And whereas it is felt by very many that the demaml for the opening of the canal on a portion iif the Lord's day is a single act in the line of a widespread determiiuition to ))reak down the wall.-, which are estalilished by Divine ami hunum law around the I)ay of Kest. •' And wiiereas the compliance with this demand on the part of the (lovernment is .-alculated to steirtle and shock a large portion of the community who cannot contemplate such a movement with anything but pain and anxiety. "Therefore, be it resolved that the following gentlemen, consisting of the clergy who otticiate in tills village, with the council and magistracy, be a committee, with Mv. N'oah I'helps convener, to fiirward a copy of this resolution to the Department at Ottawa, and take what other steps they may deem necessary. " \ similar movement was commenced in St. Catharines. In the meantime, however, the .Super intendent of the canal publisheil a note stating that he had received an order from the .Secretary of tlie Department of Ivailways ami Canals cancelling the previous order to open the canal on Salibath, ami ordering that it be closed as before. Hut while it is cheering to be al)le to refer to such illustrations and proofs of a lively and wide- spread interest in the defence of the Sabliath and in the suppressiiui of public violations of the sanctity of that holy day, it is still lamentably true that uuich Sabbath profanation prevails through- nut the Dominion by the running of railroad trains and steamiioats, by Sabbath e.\cursions, l)y funerals uiuiecessarily conducted on that day, and by social visiting. As regards unnecessary Sabbath funerals, the ministers of the (Jospel have the matter very largely in their own hands, if they would co-operate and keep good faith with each other in 3upi)ressing the evil custom. Let the minister.s of each locality, town, and city come to an understanding with each ntlier that when the |)astor of the family concerned refuses to atteml, no other minister of the place will interfere or consent to otticiate at such fiuieral, and the evil will soon be reduced to a very small niiMimum. Your Committee are also of opinion that by means of occasional serm may be classed as total abstainers ? L'. Do youi' ministers i)rea(h statedly on the subject of temperance? :!. }low many preach total alistinence? 4. Have y. Are there any other temiierance societies within your bounds? What is their influence for good ? • i. Is the discipline of the Churili faithfully enforced in the case of tho.-.e who are known to drink to excess? How many cases have oce. rred during the year? 7. Can you d^seribe the results of the various legal enactments which have been in force in your neighliourhood ? Is there much unlieenseii selling of liipior? J<. State any other means employeil within your bounds for the promotion of temperance, and give some expression as to their value ? III.- VIKWS A.Mi SL'(:n 'I'eniiierance, Du.NAi.i) FuASKK, Coitniui; It was soon ascertained that many of the I'lesbyteries were desirous of sending the ipu'stioiis doNvi' to sessions, and so six hundred additional copies of the circidar weie printed for the use of sessions. Returns more oi' less full liaxe been received from twenty-six out of thirty-live Presbyteries. ! '.ters have been received from six Presbyteries, viz. : London, Paris, Piruce. Kingston. <,)uebec I'l ' alifax, explaining their failuie to make returns, and expressing the desire that the Couoiiilli-e •..!.,d pot attribute their failure to inditfuenee regarding the tempeiance (piestion. The Presliy- Wiiei. of iSewfoumllaiicl, Prince Ivlwanl Island and Wallace, have not been heard from. The >'eturi ^ indicate that while there is compaiati\ely little intemperance among the members . i ; Church there is a great deal in the general comuMudty, meaning, we presume, the conununity liitside of professois of relit.'ion. Tins >iii seems to In' nmi e presalent in towns and cities than in rural liistiicts. In a few highly favoured coiuitr>' places, intemperance is said to be almostunknown. In a few localities this evil is saiil to be on the increa^e, Imt the geneial testimony is that it is on the ilecrease. The two great I'auses of intemperame ai'e, as stated by the I'resliytery of Toronto, the use of intoxicating lii|Uors as beverages, and the p\iblic trattic in these articles. Hut the returns point to a great vaiiety of sul)sidiary causes, such as the followini.r : Preiiisposition to inteni|ierance on the part of persons wiiose parents were habitual drinkers; the delusion that the use of alcoholic stimu- lants )U'omotes health and imparts sti'ength and vigoui' in cases where, according' to the teachings of scit'uce, it imparts no stich results ; the practice or evil practices re: dt f roiii or are assoc haliit.s'.' some I'resliyteries reply in ^'eneral terms, crime and ii iMieral demoralization.

These payments amount to .S5(l(), so that, but for them, the aliove list wouhl have siiewed an expenditure in annuities of 8'>,254, or $.S5.70 less than the pre\ious year. .Vttention should, however, be called to the fact that the inaxiiiinm annuity for the year is only .*2'.'0. Had the income available for current expenditure allowed, (i(//iliiii annuitants wmdd have received each .S250. This woidd have raised the ex|)enditure in annuities to ■S(),IK'0.

Adding to this last year's balance of 817.40, the present balance is 8101.S.(JI.

APPENDIX. gfiti'iiical Cfintrihntions of fully 820<). The increase mi Ministers' Rates is i?ltfl.'i7. and that on interest 5<0. 'I'hf income available (in- ciirrt-nt expcinlitinv havini,' iieen nearly §!(i,(M)(l, it apjiears that an income efpial to the Comniittef^'s estimate of last year (.S''.-">00) would have enalili'd theni to ^,'ive the usual iiinximiim of S2.'>(> instead nf S'.'l-'O. Tlie state of the lialance is such as may seem to have refjuired a greatei- reduction ; Imt thi' f'omndttee thouKht they miijlit venture to pay §2'.'0, feeling' assured that, with the exception of what relates to the payment nf ministerial rate, everythiiitr promises well in reference to the future of the Fund. The increase of the conL,'rej,'ational contriliu- tions is particularly t;ratifyiuf,' and eneouragin^r, especially in view of the fact that the Fund. a< reported on last year, had, to a lar^re extent, the heiiutit of the .\ssend>ly"-i re:;ominendation in lS7'.i, to the effect that the A^'ed and Infirm Ministers' Fund sho\dil, as much as piissilile, receive the full lieneHt, for the year, of the contriliutinns urdinarily i,'iven i>< the two lieneHeiary funds. Iti reference tn the ndnisterial rate, there is. as already >tated, :in increase of .SIKI.O" ; antl twenty- four names have, durinK the year, heen aijdeil to the 'I'Xt uepurted la>t year as having' i>aid their rates more or less fully -makiii'^' in all .'ill*. Many of these, however, are more or less in arrears. 'I'le-^e arrears are consideralile in ainouiit, so much so that the i)ayment of them liefore the dose of the finuiuial year woidd have i)revented the reih;ction that is so much to lie re^,'retted. It is not right that aiiy- thini,' further should lie said on the suhject of the rate that niiKht seem tf) reflect on those who hitheitu have iidt liegun to pay it, seein^f that the .Vssendily has indi(;ated its sense of the pro)iriety of so niiidifyiuK the iej,'ulation on the subject that non-payment shall not, as at present, involve total forfeiture of lieneht, hut only such reduction of benefit as is eipiitable. The t'onnnittee have very carefully considered the matter, and, as instructed by the As>endily, have framed a rei,'tdation "ii the subject. It is very difficult as yet to determine what is strictly eipiitable ; but it is the jess neces.sary, if the principle finally Kuidin;; the < 'omniittee to a unanimous deteimination in the matter is admitted, viz. : that the af those who act in accordance with the miint of the Assembly. The r"ommitte<>, while deeply re,i,'rettin;,' the reduction of their maximum, are constrainol with deeper regret to refrain from sjieaking hopefully of an immediate or even speedy return to a nifixiiniim of S2")0. Their only hope lies in the more general jiaynient of the rate. If the discriminating rate nf annuity |iro|iosed by the ("omuiittee be adopted by the .Vssendily, it is not improbable that the alteration may have a good effect in that direction. Whether or not, the ('oninnttn> have no hesita- tii>n in expressing their persu.asion that our iimnnjir ministers, who pay the rate with a view tn I'ldl benefit fnun the Fund, may look for all that can reasonably lie expected in c to forty years' service, if the state of the Fund permits. S. X minister who liy falling four years in arrears in his jiayment of the ministerial riite, h.iH forfeited his claim to the larger annuity, may on application nuide within three years after his incurring such forfeiture, have his forfeiture cancelled by the Assembly, on condition of his payment of his arrears with the addition of one ilnlUtr for each year of non-payment. 4. When a miinster who has not forfeited hiv claim to the larger annuity has his name placed on the list of lieneficiaries. the first payment of his annuity shall be reduced by the amount of his arrears'in the payment of his rate with the addition of one dollar for each year of non-payment. The Committee entered very fully into the consideration of the case of ^Ir. Walter Wright, whose case was remitted to them by last -Vssendily, with [lowei', shoidd they see fit, to place his name on the list of beneficiaries .atid to report to the Assemldy of this year. The Committee were divided in tipinion, and after a good deal of discussion, tlie following motion was adoiited by ,a majority : — "The Committee having investigated .Mr. Wright's case and finding that he has no claim, according to the rules, to benefit from the Fund, decline the responsibility of placing his name on the list of beneficiaries, and with all due respect refer his case back t the 1 to have ;•», f<-elin« verythiiiL,' intril.ii. t'lind, av n in isr'.i, till- full twenty- 'leir rates The... tinaiiiial tliat anv- hitlleltu 'ty (,f SM ve total a\e Very ati(in •HI the l,.ss le niatter ht t.. he lleil with I't.riiiiinii i-ate of that the hesita- w to {,,11 h sneh a request such as is now presente2 18iK. 1,1'tit 05 IKtiti 1,2:« ;V2 lS(i7 1,420 W 00 CO 72 7^ 1,40. l.-V.»2 1,."..".4 i,r.74 2.228 24 1,480 2,4:{2 74 1,;V.I7 2,(>2'.t 0() 2,()fl() .5,2:{7 (W :i,01(i 520 72;< 8t;5 775 »).-).{ 727 7!I5 1,245 1,C.51 18li8 18t;'.l 1870 1871 1872 187o 1874 1875 ]87<; .S,340 75 4,;«8 1877 2,810 (14 *1878 a,480 70 1870 5,(100 ,54 1880 o,e;n :'.y 1881 ;?,890 4,8;e and thanksgiving be rendered, and let each son and daughter of our beloved Zion call upon his soul and all that is witliin him to bless God's holy name and forget not all His benefits, in view of what fie has done for her prosperity. Tho preparation of the schedules for congregational returns for the past year has received the careful consideration of your (Jommittee, and they gladly welcomed, and when they could do so with propriety, they availed themselves of, the sug^jestions which friends not of their number offered. In collecting the Statistics of the Church there are certain subjt.'Cts which mur-t :ilway8 have a place in the forms piepared; while there are others, again, which may be wistly omitted at intervals. Want of spa e, anil it may be, considerations of expense, may press out what it might be desirable in other circumstances to retain, or introduce. It was judged advisable to leave out tho column in last year's forms for "Churches or Stationa not in U-iguUr Cliargi'" Hupplied by pastors, and to remove the column for entering the "No. of Sittings in each Ciiurch " to near the beginning, ami tiius give it tho place to which it was entitled. In the column for " Jiaptisms " opportunity has been afforded, and thereby the suggestion mnde, for distinguishing between those who were adults and tlio-e wlio were infants, to whom the ordinance was administered. The heading of the column " No. of S. S. Teachers'' was ext'-nded to "No. engaged in S. S. work, including Superint.3iident and Librarian," thus removing an uncertainty which some felt as to whether these should, or should not, be returned as S. S. teachers. In tho forms for Financial Statement, after the coliiinu for " .\mount exf)ended on Church or .Manse during the year," one was added for " Contributions to other strictly Cc)iigre- gational Objects;" while tlie next one, that is No. 7, ' ''■s designed to embrace the two immediately preceding, as well as No. 8; and a column was added for entering the debt existing on church propi.-rty, wlu^ther church, manse or glebe. It Is Fome time now since opportunity was given to make this return, and it was judged expedient to afford it, so tliat if God continues His blessing on our country and Church, it may he seen what is done in the near future for the removal of this burden — for we presume it must be regarded as such. The entries for Synod and Presbytery Funds were united the previous year; last year they have been separated, altliou^'ii in the case of one Presbytery, and of several congregations, the distinction has not been observeil. Before the close of 188U all the blank forms for both congregations and Presbyteries were in readiness, and the former in circulation. Ou this occasion tho rolls of Presbyteries were consulted, the number of congregations, and not merely pastoral charges, and of mission stations in each, was counted, and a supply of congregational blank forms sufficient for all, was dis))atched to each Presbytery Clerk. N tice of this was published in the " Presbyterian Witness and Evan- gelical Advocate," of Halifax, in the " Record," and in the " Canada Presbyteria.i," with the recjuest that if the parcel did not reach its destination, or did not contain a sufiicient n\imber of copies, communication should at once be held with the Convener. There wa^ oidy one instance 'u which a Presbytery Clerk failed to receive his parcel, and there were not more than three ca; . * in which the supply sent for congregations and stations was not adequate. Y(.i Committee did not distinctly specify, in the instructions they publisfjed on the forms for last year, their wish that in cases in which 2 or more churches or stations were in the jmstoral charge of a minister, the returns of each should be kept separated, but merely ur«ed, with all respect, Presbytery Clerks to procure full and accurate returns from every congregation, whether settled or vacant, and mission station or group of stations, so that as complete and correct a report as possible might be oinipiled. In several instances this request has not been fulfilled, although it may be taken for granted that when separate returns were made by congre- gations to Clerks of Presbyteries, these engrossed them separately on the sheet sent for tlie purpose. All have not been faithful in making their returns, although in this respect there is an improvement ; and the hope is cherished that before long there vntiU not boa non-reporting church or station in the Dominion. Soma of the returns are very imperfect, as will be seen on referring to the published tables ; and it may be stated hero that one return was received on the slip that had been issued two years ago, not on the one last prepared, which, perhaps, will turn up two years hence. In compiling this report from tho returns sent in, the Committee have embraced the numbers in reporting mission 8tati»S, H fewer than in last year's n-it'irt. or 7 fewer if wo t:ike into account l that were in the I'resbyterv of Miinitobi. The total nunilier of niinislers is ();j:{, or adding .Vi for ^^)lllitol>a. there are CtH't. which shew.s 2ti more than for the previous year. Amoni^ these your C<)niiiiittee have reckoned the names of professors and retired ministers, when tht.'V have been (.'iven ; and tliose for Manitoba incUi le not on'y professors and ord lined missionaries, but alao fiitechi^ts, wlio, if they have no place on tlie Roll ol I'lesbytert, are labouring under its sanction and ilirection. and, no doubt, are ucknowleged by the Master in the service to which they have been appointed. And yo ir Committee would, at this point, call attention to what they consider an omission in the retu'us fr.im some of the Presbvt'ines wit'iiu whose bounds Colb'ges are situateil. Kumston and Manitoba are the only oni's which give the names of professors. It is respectfully ftllef;<'d that the Statistical It-port should, in all in-itanues, be a full copy of the I'resb\tery Koll. li'ports have been received from l(lt» coiicregalions and mission stations, which is a long wiiy in advance of the foregoing year, althout-'h much reason exists for regret, not to say e implaint, that so many settled charges ilo not maki; any return, and that, in very many cases, no rt^turna are received from vacancies. This is not the first occasion on which attention has been called to this. Can any satisfactory reason be assigned for tiie omission? Should not all moderators of sessions, whether stated or temporaiy, feel themselves bound by the vows they have taken, and by their interest in the state and history of t'le Church to whose service they hive consecrated tiiemselves, promptly to jirocure and Kivi- all the information recjuireil? We have reason to believe that Presbytery Clerks incur considerable labour, to whicli they ought not to be put, to secure fuil repiii'is, but tint their applications, renewed and repeitel, are often disregarded. Tue instances are qu'te exceptional in which they inieht n )t be forthcoming, an I, it is trusted that the Greneral Assembly will uim to procur(!, throu^'h its Presbyteries, a knowledge every year of the statis.ical and fin mcial condition of. at least, all pasioral charges, and tliat it will give the full weight of it.s authority and influence to its Coinmitt e, whoever may ha its members, till this result have been reached. The only Presbyteries from which full re|)orts have been received are Pictou, Lunenburg and Yarmouth, in the Synod of Maritime Pr.ivinces, which contains II Presb>terie3 ; Lanark and Renfrew, in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, with its fi Presbyteries ; Peterborough and Whitby, in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston, with its 9 Presbyteries; and Huron and Maitland, in the Synod of Hamilton and London, with its 8 Presbyterie.s. Yel Pictou has 2 mission stations, Lanark and Pidiifrew has ti, and Peterborough 7. In the Presbytery of St. .fohn, 2 settled charges do not report ; in the Presbytery of .Montreal, which has no vacancies, and di)es not return any mission stations, ') pastoral charges do not report ; in the Presbytery of Toronto, which also does not give any mission stations, fi charges do not report; in the Presbytery of London, with no vacancies and no mission stations. Iti do not report. These are given merely as examples, while for fuller informatiitn reference is mad.3 to the tables as published. The entire number of congregations or stations constituting pastoral charges is liiOfi, an in- crease of KifJ on the retarns of the preceding year. Tnis shews an average of m )re than ;! to each milliter of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, and this average holds good of nearly each of its Presbyteries, with the exception of St. John and Miramichi, in which the average is about I to each pastor, and that of Newfoundland, whicii has 3 ministers for its 4 charges. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, the average is about 2 congregations or stations to each pastor ; in the Presbytery of Ottawa it is 1 to :-i. In the Synod of Toronto and Kingston, the average is like- wise about 2; but the Presbytery of Kingston has only 20 minist3r.sto .")!: congregations or stations ; Barrie, 23 for its 12tj, although it has but 27 i)istoral charges. In the Synod of Ham- ilton and London the average does not reach 2, and the same proportion, on the whole, holdtj good of each Presbytery. According to tbe returns that have come to hand, there are 05,103 families, representing, say, an aggregate of 330,000 persons connected with the Church, and bib single persons, or, joining these numbers, say. 337,000. The number of sittings is reported as 316.014, an excess of accommodation apparently for about 9,000, shewing that there is room in the buildings that have been erected for the worshippers belonging to our Zion for a consiierable increase. The state of things shewn by these figures is just what it ought to be. Tue members and alherents of the Presbyterian Church in Canaila have not reached their full numbers. Mmy shall yet join themselves to the Lord within her pale. And as her ministers, evangelists, catechists, ordain-d missionaries, and other oflice-bearers make known the Gospel message, and go f irtli with the (iospel iuvitittion to the streets and by-ways, they must be in a position to say, as they point to her walls, " yet tlnre is room."

James Allan, who said that he luul not taken any part either for or a;;ainst tlie use i,f instnimeiitiil n'usic, then addressed tlie Coniiiiission. Mr. IJnrns also made a statement with reference to the hiatorj' and jMJsition of theiiuestion in the_con!,'regation. The ( 'ommission adjourned til meet to-morrow at ten o'clock a.m. In the same place, Friday the 20th day of Aui,'ust, 1S80, the Commission a^ain met and was ciiiistitnted. SBtin'4in the coni(ret,'ation, the tnnibles have assumed a form in wliich tlie abandonment of instrumental music as an aid in tha service of praise would not restore harmony to the con^'iv^'ation. 2. That the present unhai>])y state of matters in the coni,'rei,'ation does not ai)i)ear to lie due to liny acts or courses of conduct on the jiart either of the mini-tei' or of the ottice-liearers of the church, whicii should have occasioned the existing state of feeling, but is largely due to an apparent tendency til give heed to idle rumours, and to magnify into grave offences trivial mistakes and omissions, which |)roper church feeling would have passed over as unworthy of serious leLtard. .i 'i'hat the I'resbytery of lianark and Renfrew is ir (tructed to proceed as early as practf<'able to linld an election of elders in Knox Church, Perth, but that in view nf the present ciriuimstances of the congregation tlie Commission directs that no jiei'soii shall be held as elected unless he has a iiKijority of three-fourths of the votes cast, and in conducting the eltM'tion the Presbytery is instructed to follow tlie oidinary usage of the Presbyterian Church, and not the rules laid dciwii in the consti- tution of Knox rUiurch ; and further, that the number of elder; to be elected in the me.iutime shall not he more th vn five in addition to the one already in oHici?. 4. That whereas there is nothing which has been brought to light of such a nature as should pieveiit the restoration of the harmony between the different sections of the congregation and tho [lastor and people; the Commission would therefoie earnestly counsel them to cultivate a spirit of iirotherly kindness and Christian forbearance, and to avoid everything which may tend to revive lia-it alienations. The meeting of Commission was then closed witii prayer. W. McLAKKX, Mu,/n-atn,: W. RK1!>, CIn-k: Mr. Crombie craved extracts on behalf of the Presbytery of Lanark and Renfrew, which were granted. 1'^ MINUTES OF COMMISSION OF ASSEINIBLY [X BUOOKSDALE CASE. ■^edcniiit : iiig, T. {;.

Whereas, under existing regulationH, very important matters brought before the Assembly have often been put off to the close, and then either iuadeipiately discussed or laid on the table ; wlierea.- the discussion of matters when introduced has been frequently interrupted, so that interest in tliein has been diminished, and argiiments and facts connected with them have been forgotten ; \vhe^ea^ menil)ers of various committees have been compelled to meet either liefore the Assembly nii-cts in the morning or l)etween its Sederunts, much to their own discomfort and to the detriment of matters entrusted to tliem ; .and whereas much and vexatious uncertainty has been occasioned in reference tu the order in which business is to l)e taken up, it is tlierefore humbly Overtured to the Veneral)le the (leneral Assembly, th.at the following changes be effected, iti a constitutional maimer, in the " Stand. ing (.)rders of the Supreme Court": — 1. That the last clause in tlie ninetieth i)aragra])h, which is .as follows : "to arrange from time to time the order of l)usiness to be brought before the Court,'" lie deleted, and that the followinj,' In- substituted for it : "The Committee of JJills and Overtures shall at the Fourth Sederunt submit ii docket of all the ))usiness to come before the Assembly, so arranged as to give precedence to the most important mutters ; and the said clocket. on l)eiug sanctioned by the Asseml)ly, shall be printed as the order of business, fur the information of members and the guidance of the Court." 2.

The accounts for the past year are lierevvith presented, shewiii:,' the state of the several Funds at the close of the year. The result is, on the whole, i,'riitifyinh'. In most of the Schemes there lias been an Increase. The following statement will shew tlie result as compared with that of last year :— l.S7".)-S0. ]S,S0-S1. Colleges .S'.),24!) 04 .*'.).-'^7 .\ged and Infirm Ministers' Fund 4,051 ;«) 5,:)52 :« Widows' Fund ],:m 08 1,'.)!)4 '.»7 Assendily Fund 3,254 09 3,830 78 The above figures include collections, donations and legacies. A very special and successful etfort was made last year in behalf of the Home Mission Fund. It is not surprising that the amount received this year shews a considerable falling otf. There is a Inge increase in receii)ts for Foreign Missions, largely owing to tlie visits and anpeals of the Ivev. Dr. .McKay. The repoits of the several Committees will ))ring before the Asseml)ly the condition of the several Funds, so that it is not necessary to say more here. .\s to the .Vssfiiibly Fund, the amount received from congregations is nearly .SiiOO in advance of the amount received last year. There were received from other sources, mostly from the Hymn Hook Committee, the sum of >s72;!.4",), making, in all, .'S4.554.27. lu conseiiuenci-' tlie debt on the .\ssembly Fund has been reduced from •'5i,874.;);{ to S'75',).!)8. Had die congregations in all the Presbyteries contributed the ilelit might have been wipeil out altogether; but in s(une I'resbyteries a good many congregations have not contributed, and some even in I'ities have not contriliuted anything to this Fund since the union in 1875. It is believed that it would be an improvement to apportion the necessary amount among the I'resbyteries of the Church, leaving them to apportion the amount among the several congregations. It is believed that the Presbyteries liave generally acted in accordance with the recommendation of last .Vssembly in regard to the collections for tlie several Sc'iemes, and that the etfect has \>wn beneficial. In some of the Presbyteries it might be an improvement werr one inemlier a|ipoiiitiMl to take a general oversight of all the Schemes witiiin the bounds of tlie Presbytery.
