The Assembly again commends the C(mimon Fund, so necessary for the right equipment and extension of the Church's enterprises, to the consideration of all ccm- gregations, and to the special consideration of the f)lder, stronger, more C()m^)rtably situated and better organized congregations who, as is believed, would not sufl'er but be ble.ssed even were they to leave their debt very much in the background, and who, remembering how they were gladly helped and gladly received help in e;irly days, should now account it a privilege to helj) others rather than to think chieHy of themselves. The General Assembly, believing that the stage has been reached when an appeal on behalf of the Common Fund may fitly au'l h(»[)efiilly be made to niembers and adherents of our Church, who have been much jirospered and endowed with larger means, affectionately commends that fund to their generous sup|)ort ; further, the Executive is instructed to take such action as may secure such support, and, for this purpose, are empowered to add tc their number as they may deem it necessary.

Landsborough and others, relating to the Will of the late Mrs. Jane Carnochan, which was given in and read by Dr. McLaren, Convener, who moved its reception and adop- tion. The motion was agreed to. The report is as follows : — The committee appointed to consider the petition of John Landsborough and other papers, bearing on the Will of the late Mrs. Jane Carnochan, of the Township of Tuckersmith, beg to report : — That after full and careful consideration of the papers aubniitted to them, and hearing of the statements of Mr. John Landsborough, they recommend to the Asseml)iy for adoption the following resolutions, viz : 1. That Rev. Dr. Warden be directed to claim from the Executors of the Will of the late Mrs. Jane Carnochan, the full amount devised by her in her last Will to the schemes of the Church, and to grant them a discharge for the same. 2. That Dr. Warden is directed to retain for the Church the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000), should that amount be realized from the estate, and to divide the same among the schemes of the Church mentioned in the last Will of the said Mrs. Carnochan, in the proportion indicated in the said Will. 3. That the balance of the moneys remaining after the sum of one thousand dollars has been divided among the schemes of the Church, shall be dealt with in the manner following, viz : (1) That a committee consisting of Rev. Dr. Warden, and Messrs. Hamilton Cassels and George Ke'th are hereby appointed to distribute the same. (2) That the said committee are authorized to enquire into the moral claim which David R. Landsborough makes to the sum of four hundred dollars ($400), and should they deem that he has a moral right to th sane, or any portion thereof, they may pay to him such amount as they may consider quitable, and then distribute the balance remaining among the nearest of kin of the late Mrs. Carnochan, in the manner which they consider most convenient. I, YOUNG PEOPLE S SOCIETIES. The Assembly resumed consideration of the report of the committee on Young People's Societies. Mr. Alfred Gandier moved th following resolutions : — [1056] OF THE I'llESBYTERIAM CIIUHCH IN CANADA. 47 1. The Ueneral Assembly exprHSseb gnititioition at the fervent loyalty and active Christian life of so many young people within the various congregations, and gratefully acknowledges the continued and increasing liberality of the Young People's Societies to the great mission schemes of the Church. 2. The General Assembly regrets the reported decrease in membership and the apparent decline of interest in Young People's meetings and Young People's work in many sections of the Church. The Assembly believes that the Society of Christian Endeavor and kindred organizations have been of the greatest value to the young people, in laying upon them a sensa of personal responsibility for their own share in the work and worship of the Church, and in giving them a chance to learn the signiticance and methods of Church work by actually doing such work. The Assembly would, therefore, urge upon sessions the necessity of keeping in close sympathy with societies that are now strong and aggressive, of strengthening the things that remain and are ready to die, in societies where the first zeal has burned low, and of organizing Societies in congrega- tions and stations where none exist. 3. In view of complaints from many (juarters that sessions do not take the interest they should in the young people and their work, the Assembly would specially request sessions to encourage the young people by frequent presence at their meetings, to stim- ulate and guide their giving, and to help them in preparing interesting programmes for the evenings when the special topics are taken up. 4. While the Assembly would recommend such changes and adaptations in Young Peoples' Societies as may be necessary to give variety and meet present conditions in the different congregations, it is convinced that any organization which is not distinc- tively religious and Christian in its aim, and which does not call the young people to service and testimony for Jesus Christ, cannot be of sufficient interest to hold the young people together permanently, or be of real value to a congregation. The motion was seconded and agreed to. I:i •i REPORT OF JUDICIAL COMMITTEE. The Assembly called for the Report of the Judicial Committee to whom had been remitted the Referenoe from the Presbytery of Indore, .vhich had been re-committed at a former sederunt. The report was given in and read by Dr. A. B. MacKay, who ntimated that the finding of the Committee had been communicated to Mr. F. H. Russell, representing the Presbytery of Indore, and Mr. J. Wilkie, f^r himself, and that they both signified acquiescence in the same. Dr. MacKay moved che reception and adoption of the report. The motion was seconded by Mr. James Bain and agreed to. The finding is as follows : — Deliverance of the Judicial Committee on the References from the Presbytery of Indore. Resolved : — That the Reference from the Presbytery of Indore be sustained. That it is regretted that in his address before the General Assembly of last year, Mr. Wilkie in vindicating himself from charges which he regarded as made against him, should have made statements reflecting upon his brethren of the Presbytery of Indore, some of which he has now withdrawn as being made with imperfect information. The Com- mittee does not find that Mr. Wilkie intended to deceive by any of these statements, though in some of them he was not sufficiently careful to verify the facts on which his statemen'^s rested. The College and High School shall, in the meantime, remain under the direct care of the Foreign Mission Committee, according to the decision of last Assembly. [1057] 48 ACTS ANJ* I'ROCEEDIXOS OF THE TWENTV-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY Tim (iunural AsHeiiibly expects that Mr, Wilkie, m in duty bound, will attend the ineutingH of hia Prenbytery and co-operate with his brethren in the ^eneral work of the niission.

The Assembly called for the Report of the Committee on Uniformity of Worship and on the preparation of a Manual for Family Worship, which was given in and read by Dr. Moore, Convener, and is as follows . — The Committee on Uniformity of Worship and on the preparation of a Manual for Family Prayer, beg leave to report that owing chiefly to the absence of the Convener from Canada, the Committee has been unable to comply fully with the two instructions given to it by the last (General Assembly — the preparation of a Directory for Public Worship and the preparation of a brief manual for family prayers. Some progress has been made. Forms have been prepared for the licensure, ordination and designation of ministers, and an edition of the manual for family devotion has been printed at the expense of the Convener. The Committee is not willing to submit copies of this to the Assembly until it has been repeatedly revised. It may be necessary, therefore, to issue several editions liotli of the proposed Direc- tory and of the Manual, and this cannot be done without some expense. Your Committee therefore recommend that the General Assembly authorize the Convener of the Committee to draw upon the Treasurer of the Church for money to meet the necessary expence of the Committee for printing, etc., up to the sum of one hundred dollars, to be paid from the Assembly Fund. The motion was seconded and agreed to. [1070] 1.1 i. OK THE PRKSBYTKItlAN CHUKCH IN CANADA. 61 t MINUTE KKLATINd \0 THK SERVICKS OF l>R. M'MILt.AN. The following minute was, on motion of Mr. E.

A vote being taken, the amendment was lost, and the motion was afhrmed as the judgment of the house. It was then moved by Principal Grant, seconded by Mr. W. T.

That pastors continue to use such measures as they deem wise to strengthen the temperance sentiment of the people, to inculcate the privilege and duty of total absti- nence, and to ripen public opinion until the fullest emancipation of the people from the power of this tratiic, that is possible of attainment, has been reached.

[1081] i! i.j l.dl . ^S r^ 2 REPORT OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE, WESTERN SECTION, 1899-1900. To thu Veneiublti ♦,>..'i(. . '.' Atioeinhly : Tweiity-tive yo. . iiftve . " elapsed since the union of the various branches of the Presbyterian Church. Durin;^ ti's (]uarter of a century, there has been contributed by the western section of the Church about one and one-half million dollars for Home Mission work. The progress made during this period has been very marked. In 1875, there were 1.S2 mission fields and eighty-six augmented congregations, in the western section of the church. Since that date 641 new mission fields have been organized, making a total of 859. Of this number, ninety-three have been merged into other congregations, 162 are now upon the augmented list, .386 on the list of Home Mission fields, and 218 have become self-supporting, so that during the last twenty-fivg years the Home Mission Committee has fostered and helped to self-support 218 congregations, and raised to the status of augmented charges 162 mission fields, all of which are now giving generous help to the various departments of the work of the Church. ■J ■ V REVIEW OF LAST YEAR'S WORK. During the past year forty-two new mission fields have been opened, seven mission fields have become self-supporting, and twenty-one have been raised to the status of augmented charges. The accompaning reports show the progress made during the year in the several Presbyteries, (1) in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and (2) in North- NVestern Canada. ONTARIO AND QUEBEC PROVINCES. We are able to report encouraging progress in various districts within Quebec our bounds. For some years we thought we did well if we barely held our own, now we are doing a little more than that, as witness the interesting work going on at Grande Mere and Coaticook, and the new missions at East Angus, and Bishop's Crossing, established during the past year. A new church was built at East Angus and opened in January amid much enthusiasm, the people themselves con- tributing liberally, and only a small debt remains on the building. A church will be built at Bishop's Crossing during the coming year, and altogether the prospects are excellent in this section of the eastern townships. The utilization of our magnificent water power seems to be putting new life into certain sections of the province, and the Protestant populati(m is in better heart and altogether the situation generally has taken a turn forward. Even in our extreme outposts we are pleased to note the hopeful ttuie of our missionaries and teachers. Our missions are arranged into ten groups, comprising some twenty-seven preaching stations, manned by seven ordained missionaries, and three Divinity students. 8 Expended by conKrogations direct to misHion stations within tho bounds of the Presbytery, includini,' (isHistance given in erecting new churches, !i?li,;{r»0. There is nothing special to note in the Montreal I'resbyttr; Homo Mis- Montreal si'J" fields this year. Montreal West in free fron> debt, "'h Annex pro- nuHes well, under Mr. Morrow's care, and we are ((uite 1 teful for the cause at St. Anne's. During the year one of our two mission fields. East Lancaster, was Glengarry united with St. Andrew's Congregation, Lancaster, and becomes a strong charge, now settled and paying a stipend of $1.(W0 per annum. The other field, Hephzibah Church, Williamstown continues as heretofore, under Rev. K. McDonald. Mission work is being carried on by the A'ankleek Hill congregatitm at the Ridge, etc. This field is reported as developing well, and may soon become a separate charge. A manse has been erected in Aylwin. One has also been secured in Ottawa Casselman. A church has been erected, and opened free of debt in Vars. Bell's Corners and Stittsvilk , ^ been united into one charge, and is now ministered to by an ordained missionary. A » v station has been formed at Glen Almond, and joined to the Portland field. Succ ul work has been done in all the fields during the year. Some changes have ,. ^n ^ade within the Presbytery l)OundH, Lanark and which have affected one of c ' mission stations. The work in all the Renfrew fields has been well maintain>.,J. ilocklift'e still continues to be operated with Chalk River, so t onr missionary, Rev. G. Campbell, has a very wide and difhcult parish to overtax . iice shows favourably under Rev. M. D. M. Blakely's ministrations, fifteen having been added to the communion roll during the year on profession of faith. Stafford, etc. — Here a radical change has been made. Osceola has been united with Cobden, thus forming a self-sustaining charge, and so weakening the mission financially. Notwithstanding this, Stafford Mission is building a manse for the minister, at a cost of $1,100, of which $100 was contributed by the Presbytery. The contributions to the Schemes are not being reduced, but rather increased. Kilialoe was operated along with Madawaska in the North Bay Presbytery for the winter. During the summer each is operated separately. There have been no missions advanced to the Augmented list during the year. A new mission has been established in Lanark, which at the present time meets all the expenses of its operation, and it is hoped that it will refjuire to exist only for a short time. The moneys raised within the bounds for Home Mission w^ork and not reported are $100 for Scotland Mission Manse, also considerable sums for Lumber Mission work. This Presbytery has only two mission fields, and in both of them very Broekville satisfactory work was done during the year. At Stone's Corners, North Augusta and Fairfield the services were largely attended, and eleven communicants were added to the roll. Needed repairs and improvements were made on the church property in two of the stations. The people are entering upon the summer's work in good heart and we look for encouraging results. Morton, Lyndhurst and Ellisville. — This interesting field also did well. The church at Morton was reno- vated to some extent, and is now very comfortal)le, eight ct)mmunicants were added during the year. Both fields ho{)e soon to be able to support ordained missionaries. There are fifteen mission fields in this Presbytery, as against seventeen Kingston at last report. Ardoch, etc., has been added to the Wilbur field, and Marmora, etc., has been put on the Augmentation list. There are now twenty-six churches, one having been built and opened in Marmora village. There are seven ordained missionaries within the bounds, the Rev. W. H. Cram, M.A., having been recently appointed to Ernestown, Bath, etc., all of whom are doing well. Deseronto, West End, etc., and Demorestville, have i)een su])plied the whole year by students. Every field, so far, has received the full grant. Very .seldom has any of them except Demorestville paid the missionary in full. Matawatchan, etc., only re(iuired $2.00 of the $.%00 grant per Sabbath, for last summer student supply. Eight fields were served by students last season. During the winter months, the more distant ones had three day.s supply at Christmas, while Consecon, etc., was supplied eleven Sabbaths. Every mission field except three reported contributions ■t; "I'v. '[if' !• I ../ ■„':i ' '■■■ yf. It; to the Sohemc.-i of the Church, including Home Missions. No report has been received of money given by congrogations to mission fields within the bounds. Deputations of members of Presbytery visit the fields yearly, en()uire into their condition, the progress made, and dispense the nacraments of Baptism and the Ldrd'H Supper. Thirty Sabbath schools are reported with an aggregate average attend- ance of 7<)5. There nro three mission stations in which we cannot for some yeurs PeterbOPOUfirh expect any great growth, because of the character of the coun'^ry. Our most difHcult field to operate is Cardiff, etc. The con- gregation is widely scattered, and the bolt of territory between these stations is very rugged. Apsley and Clydesdale are somewhat more encouraging;. The first mentioned place has fre({uently given promise of permanency, but the presence in a small village and in a very poor country, of Methodist, Episcopalian and Presby erian preachers has interfered with this. At Clydesdale things are dlHerent. Thore is no other wurk and the people are hearty and interestad, and purpose building a new church this year, for which almost the entire amount has been subscribed among themselves. Lakehurst and Rockcroft is our most ttourishing mission. The former has been organized for some years, and is very well managed. Though crippled somewhat with a debt for their present church, they struggle on in good spirit. At Rockcroft we have been successful in purchasing a comparatively new church, with splendid eciuipment in shape of a shed and upper hall, together with a nice parcel of ground. For this these few heretofore unorganized families subscribed $1(X). From friends they procured $100, and the Presbytery assisted them with a balance of $50. They are very happy in their new quarters, and with an organ given by a lady in Peterborough, and a good student missionary much is expected this year. Our Committee has it as their object to so interest our young people throughout the Presbytery with the importance of this work that the General Assembly's Committee may be relieved of or assisted in the cost of maintenance. There are no mission stations within the bounds of this Presbytery Whitby and all the regular charges are self-supporting, with the exception of one, Ashburn and IHica, which receives aid from the Augmentation Fund. The mission fields of this Presbytery have done as well as could be Lindsay expected of them. All three are in the north country, where the canoeist finds a paradise, but the farmer can scarcely make a living, and the farmer is the object of the Churches care, and the source of the fields contributions. Minden and Haliburton has been in charge of Rev. James Gilchrist, who has brought to that wide and rough parish considerable Home Mission experience, a strong constitution and a stout heart. The last station of the four in this field to erect a church sets about the work this summer. Coboconk and Kinmount is a field, long, narrow, deeply cut into by several lakes, and quite sparsely settled. Rev. Hugh Brown is in charge. Sebright and Uphill is a student's field. Mr. P. W. Currie and Mr. A. A. Scott have done successful work in turn during the past year. In all of these fields here are rumors of pulp concessions, development of iron, copper, gold or corundum mines, new railway lines, etc., etc. The happy era of commercial prosperity is just beyond the skyline. Perhaps it may soon dawn. The work in the various mission fields (seven in all) was well maintained. Toronto Fairbank and Fisherville have passed from the Home Mission list, and is now an augmented charge. Malton has become self-sustaining, and it is hoped that Swansea will not require a grant. St. Andrew's Church, Toronto, has maintained the mission in St. Andrew's Institute with much vigor, at considerable expense, besides paying oflf $1,200 of the debt. Central Church maintained Elizabeth Street Mission at a cost of over .$550. William Street Mission was worked by Erskine Church at a cost of $470. Claremont Street Mission, by West Church at a cost of $780. Last year we reported four mission fields. This year we have only Orangeville one to report, and that one is supplied by an ordained missionary. Proton Station has been united to Flesherton and Eugenia. Caledon East and Tarbert and Keldon, have been raised to the status of augmented charges, with good prospects of soon becoming self-sustaining. Corbetton and River view, is supplied by an ordained missionary, the Rev. G. C. Little. No new fields openud duriiif^ the ye»r. All money raised within the boundn of PreHhytery, ■<» fur as known, hiiH been sent directly to the General ANHemi)ly'H Mission Fund. Besides the mission stations ni M unkoka, under the sunerintendance of Barrle Dr. Findlay, there are three r.tission groups, each under the char(,'e of an ordained missionary. Minesin^, Midhurst, and Kdunvale. — Rev. T. Paton has labored here for about two ycarj diligently. KtForts were made last year to strengthen them. Presbytery aimed to induce Minesing and Pldenvale to unite and place a church building at a point midway between their present places of worship. This arrangement gave hope of uniting a new Htation with them. The etforts to bring about these changes were not successful. The Kdenvale l^tation which has used the small church belonging to another body for years, resolved to build or to procure a build- ing for themselves. There is more hope of growth in this hitherto weak station than of those which are cimnected with it. Medonte, includes Victoria Harbor, Moonstone and Vasey. — These stations have been supplied acceptably l)y Kov. (Hoorge Craw for about five years as ordained missionary. The field of labor is difhcult, owing to dis- tances between the congregations and the roads in a hilly country. The Presnytery has appointed a committee to visit the charge and see whether it should not be put on the fooling of a charge receiving aid from the Augmentation Fund. They contributed last year 8100 for the Schemes, $38 of it ro the Home Mission Fund. Wyevale, GibKons, and Van Vlack. — Rev. A. Edington has labored here for about eighteen monthrt. The stations are not strong in number or means, yet they deserve the support of the Home Mission Fund. There are earnest workers in the tirst and third named. Gibson's is very weak. It is not likely to become a populous district. During the past year several changes have been made in our mission Owen Sound fields, for the purpose of consolidation and thereby curtailing expense. Crawford, formerly worked in connection with Williamsford, has been transferred to the Presbytery of Bruce, being now part of the pastoral charge of West Bentinck, etc. There was some anxiety as to the future of VVilliamsford when separated from Craw ^'d, but the difficulty has been overcome by another re-adjustment. Desboro, which f(jrmed part of the settled charge of Keady and Peabody, asked the Presbytery to b'j separated from the other two congregations and to be united with Williamsford. The request was granted, and the result has so far proved very satis- factory. Keady and Peabody have developed increased strength and are now about to call a minister, whilst Desboro and Williamsford, though at present supplied by a student, are looking for an ordained missionary in the fall. During the past winter, Mr. VVm. Martin has done good work in the Indian Peninsula, as indicated by the increased liberality of that field, notwithstanding the determined effxirts of the Latter Day Saints to proselytise that whole district. The only other field in care of the Presbytery, is Lion's Head and Lindsay. Mr. Sieveright has done faithful work there and has considerably extended the field, almost necessitating a sub-division. Mr. Sieveright's term has now expired, and a new man is wanted for this district, one with Gaelic being specially requested. With regard to Home Mission work in the PresViytery of Algoma there is Algoma but little to add to what has been reported oy the Rev. Dr. Findlay, Superintendent of Missions. As some indications of progress it may be stated that last winter some fifty-five new communicants were received, and that more would ha' e been received had communion services been held on all the fields ; also that the contributions of our mission fields to the Schemes of the Church were considerably larger than formerly, and further, that at least ten of our mission stations are building churches this year, or are preparing to do so. On some of the older fields where there are no new settlers coming in, and very little prospect of any coming, there is little or no growth reported or to be expected. Yet these fields cannot be abandoned nor neglected. At many other points, however, the outlook is decidedly hopeful. At Little Current, for example, where the lumbering industry is being revived on a large scale, and where the ])opulation is likely to be almost doubled within a year, the litth; congregation ia recovering from a period of depression and weakness, and agrees now to raise $4fX) a year towards the support of an ordained minister, whereas latterly they could barely raise $250. At Blind River, where the cause wao almost dead It is being revived in the 8an)e way as at Little Current, and the people are making preparations to build a church. At Ophir mining operations are already employing a large number of hands, and other 1 I « I II ft properties in the iieighhoiirhood are Itfiiig devuloiiud. 'I'liia held iieedH and will likuly Kxiii ciill for Hii ordained iniiiiNtur. (ioiilaii Kay, hitherto one of our weakont tieldN, ia looking u|>, an more settlurH are coming in and a new railroad, the Algoma (.'ontral, i» going through. A site haH been secured for the building of a church, nnd some prepata- tiouH have been made towards its erection. On Manitoulin Inland, Michaul'H May is again starting up as a liusy village, and thiH Hummer will receive weekly service from the student supplying the South Iky tield. ( )n the Mills tield, by a slight roarrangenienr, the missionary there will be anle to give supply every Saltbath to Long Hay, an important summer resort. For particulars regarding other tieldssee Dr. Findlay's report. During the present summer the stalt' of workevM on the Home Mission fields of Algomii Presbytery consists of nine ordained ministers, tifteen students and seven catechists, thirty-one in all. By these all our tields are supplied for the summer. We have never had dirticulty to tind supply for all our tields for the summer. Our dilKculty has been to tind supply for the winter. Last winter several of our tields sutl'ered seriously through lack of service, and if the tifteen students now at work shall return tu college as most of them are likely t'» do, next October, the Presbytery will be face to face again with a serious drawback to the successful carrying on of its Home Mission work, namely, the lack of service during the winter. The Presbytery earnestly hopes that the General .Vssembly will take such steps as may remedy this ditticulty, and may furnish supply for Home Mission tields in winter as well as in summer. There is nothing of very sjtecial interest in the Home Mission work of Saugeen this Presbytery during the past year. There are two mission stations, Mildmay and Ayton, which are growing weaker in conseijuence of the English people leaving and the (Sermans taking their place. The field is being supplied by a student this summer, because they are not able to support an ordained missionary. Cedarville and Ksplin are improving, under the wise and etiicient manage- ment of the Rev. Mr. McDonald, missionary to that tield for two years. Two new churches have been erected recently, and it is hoped that this charge will very soon be self-supporting and have a settled minister over them. Knox Churcli, Dracon and Metz, were transferred from the list of misnion Guelph stations, to that of augmented congregations, with the view of encouraging them to call a stated pastor, and they have been receiving appointments, in common with other vacancies, from the roll of probationers. Efforts have been made to procure another station with which to connect Livingston Church, leaden, and the village of Wellesley was regarded as a suitable place. This was in the bounds of the Presbytery of Stratford, which made an attempt to work it, but not having succee 3d it was offered to the Presbytery of Guelph. A deputation was appointed to visit the field, but it was found that there was no opening, so that Living- ston Church remains alone, and, so far as present prospects enable us to judge, must continue for some time. Eden Mills and Gale Church, Elmira, still occupy the standing of mission stations, the former under the stated care of the minister of Chalmers' Church, Winterbourne, and the other under that of the minister of Rockwood. Report of Rev. Dr. Findlay, Superintendent of Northern Ontario Missions Perhaps the chief ditticulty felt in all the Presbyteries, in this portion of the Church, during the past winter, was the lack of men. Time was, when it was not a matter of so much importance, whether men were plentiful or not. If not, the people (juietly waited till spring. But that day has passed. Our people, with few exceptions, have come to look differently on the subject and to conclude that service is just as necessary in the winter months as in the summer. The supply was as follows : — Presbytery of Barrie. Three tields vacant, five supplied as follows, viz : — Two ordained men, one student, one approved catechist, one catechist. Three of these were received from the Committee in October, and two of them were obtained afterwards. Presbytery of North-Bay. — Vacant, four fields; occupied, twenty-one. Of these ten were ordained men, three were students, two approved catechists, and six were catechists. Of the twenty-one, fourteen were received through the Committee, and seven were arranged for afterwards. Htl nil ml In the Prenbytory of AIi^diiih, four Holds were v»»C/inli of the twenty-seven mipplied litHt Hiimmer Of the twenty thre^ Niipplied, Home were only partinlly, for the rennon given above, laok utf men. Of choNe ^tvin^ iupply, nine were ordained men, tive were Htiidenta, lix were CHtechiHtn, and thrue approved catechists. Of theae twenty-three, Hixteen were received from tho Committee, liMd seven were appointed after the ('<*ni- mittee roHo. Two or three points here are worthy of notice. 1st. That Hixteen men had to l>n secured, more than a third of the whole number, after the Committee held its meeting in Octnlier, which means that Huthcient men were not available from the list of the Committee. How these men were obtained would form a very interesting chapter in Home Mission work. Five of them were pastora who had just resii^nud charges in other pirts of the Church, and were ready to take hold of the work in our neody fields. None of them, however, were able to enter un the work till after the new year, impoHing a loss of three inonthH service in each of those tieldH. May their example prove to others that there ia Homethin^ better for the man who Ih prepared for work than candidating. .\nother point in, the comparatively large number of catechists employed, ten out of a total of forty-three. An a rule the catechiat \h not the most ethcient labourer, and none more ready to acknowledge thin than the catechist him.self. Surprise is sometimes expressed that so many of this class of labourers are employed by us, but what are we to do I Leave our Kelda vacant till something better turns up ? 1 fancy not. This is a matter for the Church to settle through the (ienural .Vasembly. The fields are waiting for them. Hut till this happy change is effected, I fear we will have to continue the services of the catechist. The people, as a rule, have no hesitation in deciding, when the (jueation is, catechist or no supply. The Holds in each of these I'reabyteries were visited by me during the winter, as circumstances seemed to recjuire and as time permitted. In the Presl)ytery of Harrie, Rev. .John Diividson, ordained miasionary, was inducted on January I7th. Mr. Davidson's services are being highly appreciated by his people, andcorre8i)onding growth may be expected. The staff of ordained men was strengthened in the Presbytery of North Hay, by the presence of Messrs. Watson and Uuy, who were placed at Orrville and Hyng Inlet, respectively ; by the appointment of Mr. .John Hurnett, formerly of Keady, to Rosseau for two years, and by the appointment of Mr. F. Smith, formerly of Hradford, to Mattawa till April. In the Presbytery of Algonia, we secured the services of Mr. D. McKachren, formerly of North VVilUamsburg, to Deabarats, and of the Rev. .1. A. McDonald, formerly of Varna to Richard's Landing, on the Island of St. .Josei>h. Those appoint- menta indicate growth in the field, yet the growing time is only commencing with u.^, as. we believe the only remedy for the lack of supply in the winter is to secure the services of ordained ministers, who will rem'iin on the Held for a series of years, aa rapidly as the fielda can be brought up to the standard of 8upj»ort. It is with pleasure that we report that our peoi)le are coming to realize thia, and are found ready, aa they are able, to put forth the effort necessary to secure thia most desirable end. The presence of theae brethren in the field ia beginning to toll for the advancement of the work. A*: Rosseau, a manse is under way for the accommodation of the minister's household. ( i(ee»i missions were without supply, and several more with only partial supply. This spring, after all the men available for Western work were selected, there were still fourteen vacancies. Subse- quently eight of those appointed declined to serve in the West, bringing the vacancies up to twenty-two. By getting men from Britain and the United States ; by appointing graduates of the Bible Training School in Toronto, and through the efforts of a few gen- tlemen who have the interests of the West at heart, a number of these vacancies have been filled, but eleven missions at this moment stand vacant. This lack of supply has done great harm in the VVest already ; it has inflicted severe, irreparable losses on the Church in Northern Ontario, and should be remedied. The supply of men in the Church seems ample. The moment a prominent congregation in the West is vacant, letters pour in asking for a hearing — many of them from men who never had a charge. Were the General Assembly to require all graduates to labor a year in the misdion field before settling, great relief would come to Home Mission work. And if, while engineer- ing, law and medical students are salted with heavy fees, the Church exacts no feei from the theological student, surely it is a small thing that they give ono year's service to advance her work, especially when they are liberally remunerated. Am.I, if not, why should the students not pay for their own education ? The growth of the Church in the I.Iaritime Provinces and the < idei- { „";. of Ontario is now practically over. With the inflowing stream of populatio i to i 'le West, unless we make more adequate provision, the same calamity will nvtjroake up that has over- taken the Presbyterian Church in the United States in connecfiuii with the Western country. This (jueation of supply should be faced, and now. Tlie Summer Session still continues to give substantial help dui.ng tiie wint'ir. Last year several students from Eastern collvg.- — notally Queen's — took their last session in Manitoba Colie£- \ aud entere^:^ on work in the mission field at on'-^. Others are purf^uing tlie sap'.u course this year Were more students, while undfc»' /fl'^'ates, to remain one year (icHinuously in the field, and take one session in Manitoba Jo) leg ^, fJ;v«y would greatly advance the work of the Church, reduce the enormous bill for ; ravelUd- expenses, and gain Tor themselves an experience of great v.ilue in l^':^ work >r onra;;r/ ,.on and administ-ation in their future ministry. Last year thirty-nine studeii'.:^ cteaded the sunim<^r session, and the num- ber this year promises to be about the same. By the help of the Church and Manse Board, there were thirty- Ctiurehes Built four new Church buildings erected last year in the Mission fields t)f the two Synods. In all Presbyteries there is a commendable effort being made to remove or reduce church and manse debts, and the effort is likely to succeed. Sacraments Dispensed Tr crease in Communi- canii> Arrangements continue to be made to have the sacraments of the Church dispensed in all missions under the care of student mission- aries. The returns made showing the accessions to the membership of the Church are very incomplete, but, as far as they go, they show a decided improvement on the returns for the past four or five years. The gains have in some cases risen to sixteen, eighteen, twenty-three and, in onf case, twenty-six per cent., as e(*mpf»:ud with last year. c (I tinue to increase in numbers and efficiency, and they are encouraged Sa'Xtath to i)rooure the li'.erature prepared by our own Church. Many oi the Se'lOOls schools are Union, but in them the best work is not done, and mission- aries and people prefer such Sabbath schools as are distinctively Presby- ir i.T. T'lir-i-e are, in both Synod?, about 440 schools with an attendance of about 2r>,()n>) -4C^olars ; but many of the schools are kept open only six months. In Manitoba 13 alone there are said to be 20,000 children who attend no Sabbath School ; the propor- tion in the Territories and British Columbia is larsjer still. With no sowing of the ^ood seed at home or in the Sabbath School, what shall the harvest be ? For a number of years past British churches and congregations have Finances been giving substantial help to establish and extend Home Missions in Western Canada. They withdrew about $5,000 of the $12,000 or more given last year, and they inform us that little will be got in future. Efforts were put forth du'^'ng the year to get Ontario and Western congregations and individual members of the Church to take up the burden laid down by British people, and not without some success. The average supplement required to maintain a mission is about $250 a year, and pledges for the support of thirty-seven missionaries have been secured. Why should not special contributions enough be forthcoming to support 100 missionaries ? This is a time of unexampled prospqj ity, should not our lavish expendit- ure on luxuries be generously tolled to advance the interests of patriotism and true religion ? St.itely churches, cushioned and carpeted, pipe organs and paid singers, do not comport well with Home Missions and Augmentation deficits and a cramped and in- adequate Home Mission extension. Deducting the contributions of British Churches, of the Maritime Provinces and Western Cana''\, the people of Ontario and Quebec con- tributed last year only about thirty cents per communicant for Home Missions in the W^est. The evangelization and the assimilation of the hetero<^eneous elements settling in the West require and deserve a more generous contribution from the rich and [)ro8perou8 Province of Ontario and the wealthy city of Montreal. The mission fields contribute about two thirds of the salaries of missionaries, and the Home Mission Committee, one third. The following figures for that portion of the Churoh west of Litke Statistics Superior will show the gain since the union of Jf-'To and, as compared with last year's figures, the gain last year. The retunia nor, being complete, the figures are only approximate. 1875 1899 1^)00 Synods Presbyteries 1 Congregations 2 Missions to whites ^0 Preaching Stations (Missions and Congrega- tions) 34 Ministers (Professors, Pastors, ordainei lis- sionaries) ... 8 Catechists, Teachers, et al (unordained .... 1 Families, whites 349 Single Persons, whites 226 Communicants, whiles 432 Contributions $5,421 MISSION TO LUMBERMEN. 2 2 14 15 115 136 198 200 -\025 1,068 214 238 136 142 14,840 1.6,613 9,920 10,035 20,552 24,035 $319,929 $339,125 ^^ This mission is administered by a Committee appointed annually by the Syncxl of Montreal and Ottawa, the work being within the bounds of that Synod. Last year 25,000 copies of books, pamphlets and tracts v.-^re distributed. Several ministers were engaged for the winter months in visiting the ii juber camps, and much gcjod work was accomplished at a comparatively small cost. The revenue for the last year did not exceed $250. This revenue is provided by congregations and friends within the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa. r u STUDENTS' MISSIONARY SOCIETIES. The Home MisHion Committee has been under srreat obligation to the Students' Missionary Societies in connection with the several Theological Colleges of the Church for the etticient helj) they have given. The Committee is anxious to bring these Societies into closer relationship and has so arranged that the fields to be worked by them, will, instead of being assigned them by individual Presbyteries, be hereafter allocated to them by the Committee itself. It is desirable that the fields occupied by the Students' Mis- sionary Societies should have continuous service during the whole year, and a aub-com- mittee ha4 been appointed to confer with the several College Societies with a view to accomplish this. During the past jfear work been has carried on l)y these Societies in fifty Home Mission fields. This Society has been in existence thirty-one years. During Montreal College the past summer eight students labored under its auspices, with most encouraging results. The fields occupied were Portneuf, Lochaber, Kensington and Verdun, Saguenay, and Lake St. .John, all in the Province of Quebec, and Bonfi(»ld, Commanda and Nipissing, Killaloe and Tramore, and Enniskil- len in the Province of Ontario. The Saguenay field was worked by a student having both French and English. T' .* receipts of the Society amounted to $1,391.63. This year the Society is working seven fields, one of which is under the care of a missionary able to conduct services in both French and English. This Association increased the number of its fields last year. Queen's College from six to eight. In these eflicient service was given during the summer months. The following were the places occupied : — Chelmsford, Canoe Like, French River, St. Joseph's Island and Ilavensworth all in the Province of Ontario, Orrwald in the Pr *ince of Manitoba, Fairlight in Assiniboia and Mt. Lehman in B.C. The receipts of thi^; ^society for the working of these fields amounted to $1,953. '4. Tn addition to this, there wero received from Professors, students and graduates $325. V-"") towards the Foreign Mission branch of the work of the Association. This summer the Association is supplying eight Home Mission fields. The Society in this College was organizad in 1844. It has been Knox College instrumental in opening up a large number of mi.ssion fields in the more sparsely settled districts of the country, many of which are now self-supporting congregations. Last year thirty fields were occupied by the Society, seventeen of which were worked for six months, seven for five months and six for four months. In connection with these fields, there are 110 preaching stations with about 650 families. The amount raised by the Society for carrying on their work during the year was $2 *^91.43. '"liis is exclusive of the amount contril)uted by the fields which were supplied by the missionaries connected with the Society. Four fields are worked by this Society, which during the past seventeen years has rendered splendid service in the Home Manitoba College Mission field. The receipts last yeai were $1,320.30 4 1 I "fl ■ ' ■■■ 1 MISCELLANEOUS. As reported to last General Assembly, a committee of ladies was organized in Toronto for the purpose of secuiing funds to send trained missionary nurses to the newer districts in the Yukon territory An urgent appeal was received from the Rev. J. Pringle, fir work of thi.s nature to be undertaken at Atlin, B.C. The Committee were fortunate in securing the services of two earnest Christian ladies. Miss Mitchell and Miss Tone, both of whom were trained nurses. These left for Atlin in the beginning of July and immediately began their work. Their Atlin Nurses 15 services have been of L^reat vtilue in that coininuiiity ami have been highly appreciated. The need of a suitable building in which to carry on their work waw greatly felt, and through the instrumentality of Mr. Pringlo, a small hospital has been erected, and according to latest intelligtnce, the nurses are now carrying on their work within its walls. The contributions rect'vcu by the Ladies' Committee f(jr the supp()rt of this work amounted to $1,550.15. The expenditure in connection with the outtit of the nurses, travelling expenses, maintenance, etc., has been soujewhat in excess of this, so that the fund is at present in debt to the extent of $110. It is hoped, however, that contributions will be forthcoming with which to meet this indebtedness and enable thi- ladies to carry on the work, so long as the nece-ssity exists in that district. At its meeting in March the Home Mis8i<.n Connnittee adopted the following resolution ; — " The Committee desires to thank most heartily the ladies who were instrumental in securing the services of nurses for Atlin. The results have been such as to justify our church in undertaking the work. The Connnittee wttuld also express its appreciation of the earnest and self-denying work which Miss Mitchell and Miss Bone have accomplished. Not only have tliey most skilfully and tenderly ministered to the physical needs of the sick in the hospital and tents, but (iod has signally blessed their efforts to present Christ and His claims to those who have l)een under their care. The Connnittee would most earnestly commend the work to the sympathy and hearty support of the whole Church. The Rev. A. S. Grant, at the close of his term of service last fall, Yukon returned from Dawson City, where he was instrumental in bringing missionaries the congregation to a self-supporting point. The Church has reason to be grateful for such a mi-ssionary as Mr. (Jrant, who rendered splendid service in Dawson City at the formative period of its history. Y'our Committee invited the Rev. J. J. Wright, of Lvn, to succeed Mr. (Irant in Dawson City. iMr. Wright promptly responded to the ih ,nd left a deeply attached congregation in Ontario who were most reluctant to part w. ■ him. His services have been highly appreciated in Dawson City, and although the population there has considerably diminished, the congregation continues self-supporting. Through the inHuence f)f Mr. Wright, aided by p. number of active Christian ladies, a comfortable hall has been secured in the centre of the city for reading room and social gatherings, and made so attractive as to be a counter influence to the saloon. The Rev. D. G. Cock, a graduate of the Presbyterian College, Halifax, continues efficiently to prosecute the work at Eldorado, whero he succeeded the pioneer misuionary, the Rev. R. M, Dickey, who rstired from the lield last fall, and who, during a visit to his friends in Ireland, has been rendering valuable service in deepening interest in our work. The Rev. J. A. Sinclair has spent the greater part of the year at Bennett, where he was instrui":"n*:;»i in firecting a comfortable church building. At the request (jf the Com- mittee Mr. Sinclair thi.' spring ivent north to visit the Creeks, where mining is actively carried on. His place has Ijceii taken by the Rev. James Russell, who for the last two or three years has served the church at Schreiber, Ont. The Rev. J. Pringle spent most of the year at Atlin, his services !>eing highly appreciated by the whole community. In view of the privations and hardships experienced by him during the last two years, the Committee granted Mr. Pnngle a three months' leave of absence. He is now visiting his family and it is hoped will be present at the meeting of the General .Assembly. During his absence the work at Atlin and Pine City is being carried on by Mr. George Pringle, whose salary, it is expected, will i)e met by the people in the field. Heretofore the work in the Yukon has been administered directly by the Executive of the Home Mission Connnittee. At its meeting in March, the Committee decided to place the work under the care of the I'resbytery of Westminster, so that the missionaries and fields may bear the same relatiotiship to that Presbytery that other Home Mis-ion fields and missionaries have to the Presbyteries within whose bounds they are. It is believed that this will conduce to the more effective working of the whole district. Your Committee have been greatly indebted to the Coh nial Committees of the British Churches for generous contributiiiis received from year to year. In addition to 'grants from these Com- mittees, a large number of congregations iu England Scotland and Ireland have for some years past contributed for the support of mission fields in the British Contributions 16 :! 'i "North- West and British Columbm. These contributioiiH were i)ledKed for n period of three or five years, and averaged about §rJ,(X)0 a year. The period for which these proiuiseH were given has expired, so that the amount received from this source was, last year, nearly $5,000 lesH than .the year preceding. Intimation Iihh been received from many of. the congregations that they will not l)e able to continue their assistance, so that in future it will be necessary to raise in Canada nearly the entire revenue required for the conduct of the work. The Committee desire to place upim record their cordial approciatiim of the valuable help received from the home lands in })a8t years, both in men and in money. The Rev. II. M. Dickey, our pi(jneor missionary in the Yukon, being now on a visit to friends in Ireland, has agreed, at the solicitation of the Co:>>»>iittee, to present the claims of our work to the Colonial Committees as well as to a nuii.ber of the more important congregations. Arrangements have been niade for his addressing the General Assemblies of the Churches in Scotland and Ireland. At the meeting of the Committee in March, the follownig Current Year's resolutions were adopted : Estimates l. That for the year beginning .\pril 1st, 1!)00, a sum not exceeding $20,500 be granted to the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West, and a sum not exceeding $213,500 to the Synod of British Columbia, with $4,(550 additional for the Klondike — these sums to cover the entire expenditure from the funds of the Commictee (including special work among the Galicians), excepting the salary and expenses of Dr. Robertson, and the travelling expenses of missionaries to and from their fields of labour. 2. That these Synods, through their Home Mission Committees, be recjuired to submit to this Committee, at its semi-annual meetings in March and October, a linancial statement for the six months then ending ; and accompanying this a report, on the schedules prepared by this Committee, of the work done during the half-year in the respective mission fields, with the names of the missionaries, the amounts contributed by the people, and the appropriations made by the Synod's Committee to the several fi^ilds. 3. That these Synods, through their Home Mission Committees, be instructed to submit to this Committee, on or before April 25th annually, a financial statement of the receipts and expenditure for the year, ending March .'ilst, together with an annual report -*? the several fields, on the schedules furnished by this Committee." Thi grants thus made for work in the two Western Synods are about $4,000 in excess of rhe preceding year. The estimated re(iuirements for the current year are as follows: — Ontario and Quebec $29,850 00 Manitoba and the North-West 20,500 00 British Columbia 23,500 00 Yukon Territory 4,650 00 Salary and expenses i>i superintendents 4,300 00 Travelling expenses of missionaries 6,500 00 Expenses of committee and executive, printing, interest, etc 3,500 00 Proportion of general expenses 1,200 00 $94,000 00 wori rencl Sil with! suit!! wit 111 pdinl Mil The Connnittee recommend that the following be appointed the Ex- ;, Executive ecutive for the ensuing year: — Rev. Dr. Warden, Convener; Revs. Dr. Somerville. Dr. Robertson, Dr. Findlay, Dr. Armstrong, Rev. Messrs. M.^.W. McLean, A. A. Scott, A. Gilray, Messrs R. Kilgour, .John Penman and Lieut- Col. McCrae. Dr. Robertson's New Position In accordance with the action of last Assembly, Dr. Robertson has given much time during the year to his duties as Field Secre- tary of th' and of the Augmentation Committee. He has visited many conjj, jgations all over the Church, deepening interest in the 17 work and securing iiicreftsed contributions on its hehnlf. The value of the sorviceH rendenid l)y him in this connection will bo more apiunent each succoediii),' year. Your Committee had before it the question of supply for the Summer Tourists places visitod by tourists during,' the summer season, more parti- cularly in the district of Muskoka. The Presbytery of Harrio, within whose l)ound3 this district lies, have appointed a small committee to arrange for suitable supply, and the (Jonvoner and Messrs. Mcl'horson and Neil wore associated with this Committee with a view to securint; Sabbath services at all the more important points fre(iuented by tourists. While it is encouraging to report that a much larger number than Missionaries formerly ■>) the missionaries em[)loyed by your Committee are ordained Needea men, so that most of the fields have continuous supply during the whole year, it is a matter of regret that ditticulty is still being ex{)eri- enced in finding a sufticient number of suitable mi;n to undertake the work, more especi- ally in the larger mission tields of the church iu the Muskoka, Parry Sound and Algoma districts, as well as west of Lake Superior. Your Committee appointed deputies to visit several of the colleges of the church list spring, with a view of interesting and securing the services of the members of graduating classes. While some of these cheerfully responded to the call of the Committee, the number was (juite insutiicient for the necessities of the deld, and when the Committee closed its session in March last nearly thirty tields were without supply. Correspondence was immediately opened with students of several of the Theological Seminaries in the United States as well as with several ministers in charge in our own church. The services of some of these have been secured, and yet a con- siderable numljer of fields are without regular supply. Y'our Committee gave anxious consideration to this subject, and the following resolution was adopted : — The Home Mission Committee recommends that the General Recommendation Assembly extend the term of .students' preparation for the niinistry to four years, including a period of twelve months to be spent in some practical work either in Heme Mission work or as assistant to some minister of a congregation, in which latter case report is to be made to the Home Mission Committee ; And that, except by special permission of a College Senate, this year of {)ractical work be spent after the completion of college studie.^ ; And that no student be certified by a College Senate as having completed his theo- logical course till he be certified by the Home Mission Committee as having finished this term of practical work. It is scarcely possible to review the work of the past year and the progress Close made, without being constrained to say " What has God wrought. Forty-two new mission fields have been opened, twenty-one mission stations have been raised to the status of augmented charges, and seven have become self-supporting congre- gations. There have been added to the church on confession of faith, in the tields under the care of your Committee 1,652 new members, a larger number than in any former year. The Committee feared at its meeting in March, that the year would end with a de- ficit of from S8,()00 to S10,0(}0 and that it might be necessary to curtail the work in the near future. It is encouraging, however, to report that as a result of a special appeal, the shortage was made good, with the exception of §788, when the books closed on March Mat. Since that date the entire debt has been removed. This is all the nmre encouraging when it is borne in mind that the year began with a balance on hand of •|)8,lKX( less than the preceeding year, and that the contributions received from Britain have been reduced by nearly $5,000. Your Committee, however, do not lose sight of the fact t'^at the estimated expenditure of the year upon which we have now entered is ^14,000 in excess of the recei[)rs of last year. In other words, to enable the Committee tur people to miiintHin tlie work, iind eiirni^Htly solicit tliu hearty co-openttion of miniHters itnd neHsionN in preHentin^ its clainiH to their people. They en[)eci)illy »sk that the workers and the work l>e rememliored liefore (iod in thf pul)lic prayerNof the Sanctu- ary as well an in the homes of our people. " I'rove nio now liorowitli, saitli the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of lieaven, and pour you out a hlessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." All of which is respectfully submitted. 'Turoiilii, June lul, IttUi). KOIST. H.

To llif Vi^nftiMe tlif Qfneral Assemld]/ : The pMt year han been one of diligent and <{uiet activity, as well an of steady, if not rapid progress. The work of your Committee has been directed mainly to tho oversight and aid of charges under the care of ordained miHsionaries, and of MiHsion Fielda, sup- nlitui as fully as poaaible by student misHionarieH, chietly during the summer season. They have had very little to do in the Hupply of vacant charges, so little that several ministers whose names are on the roll of probationers have had but few appointments. Of the eight ministers and probationers available for supply, whose names were on the list on May Ist, 1899, c.ie has been placed in charge of an Augmented Congregation, another has been called and ia about to be settled in a Helf-Hustainint; ch<.rge, two more have been appointed to missionary charges, some have left the bounds and only one of them is now on the list. At present there are the names of only three ministers on this list. At the date of last report the number of ordained missionaries in charge of the congregations to which they had been appointed was thirty-seven. Of these five have l)eeii called bv. and settled over, the congregations in which they were then laboring, three of whicn are self-sustaining ; and the other two are receiving aid from the Augmen- tation Fund. Seven more have been called and settled in other charges. The number of congregations at present under the care of ordained missionaries is thirty-one. Forty-one catechists were employed during the summer, and two during the winter. Thirty-nine groups of stations were served by the catechists, and some assistance was given to pastors in large and scattered congregations. In the fields which these young men cultivated there are 1,73.'{ families claiming connection with our Church ; 2,085 communicants, 1,788 in attendance at the Sabbath Schools, and 1,748 attending the weekly prayer meetings. These stations contributed 9.'}35..38 for Foreign Missions, $17H.04 for Home Missions, 860..S.S for the College Fund, $180.03 for other schemes ; making a total of $804.73 for the general Schemes of the Church, besides $7,011.61 to- wards payment for the services which they received from their missionaries. In consequence of the failure of a considerable number of the ordained missionaries to send in reports to your Committee ii. is impossible to furnish statistics of a similar sort with reference to their charftes which would not be misleading. Our expenditure, however, shows that $7,301.84 have been paid for this branch of the service, while $716.- :{8 have been paid for the supply of vacant charges. The customary liberality of our people has been maintained during the past year. Your Committee began the year with a balance due the Treasurer of $027.99. They closed with a balance on hand of $98.03. The receipts have, therefore, exceeded the expenditure for the year by $720.02. The total amount received during the year was $14,.'{79.45, as against $13, -486.33 for the previous year, an increase of $893.12. Of this amount $2,315.56 were contributed for Home Missions in the North-West. Your Committee have voted grants to fields which have, or hope to have, ordained missionaries during the current year, amounting to about $8,000, and as other labour- ers and expenses of administration will require some $6,000 more, contributions equal to those which have V>een made for the past year will be required for the current year, and any increase can be easily and wisely expended, either in the strengthening of the work in the Maritime Provinces, or in meeting the clamant needs of the great North- West. The Committee cannot but think regretfully of the loss which they and the whole Church have sustained in the removal by death since the last meeting of the Assembly ll 32 of their beloved brother, Rev. P. M. Morrison, D.D., who for so many years acted as Secretary of this Committee, and gave such valuable counsel and help in carrying on its work, but they would bow with submission to the will of Him whose they are and whom they serve, knowing that His wisdom is unsearchable and His love infinite. In common with other Committees whom he served so wisely and so well, they have put on their record a minute expression of their appreciation of his character and work. :'ii Finances — Comparative Statement.

To the Venerable the General Assembly: — Through the coutimied goodness of God to our Beloved Church, and through the growing liberality of her members and adherents your Committee is glad to be able to report substantial progress in the work under its care. Had the Church responded more liberally to the appeals made by your Committee during the year fifty-six Mission Stations would have been advanced to augmented churches, but owing to lack of funds only twenty-one of the fifty-six were taken on the list of con- gregations. In the light of this significant fact, is it not a pity that so many con- gregations, and even some Presbyteries spend so much time and energy to get from the Fund what it has not to give, and do so little to raise the money requisite to meet the urgent demands of the Church — demands that in the interests of the Church and of the State ought to be granted. In some quarters the fund is too much regarded as a fountain from which all that are inclined have a right to draw freely and forever. While aiming to help as far possible the weak, your Committee has specially striven to stimulate mission stations to put forth all their energies to become self-supporting and aid giving. Believing that Churches like individuals, can easily be pauperized and demoralized ; that to encourage needless chapels of ease is an injury to the Church, and a waste of the Master's means ; and that the Church ought to spend her strength in cultivating the fields most likely to yield the best returns, your Committee without fear or favour has in all its grants acted on these principles, and thus aided the Home Mission Board in its great work of evangelizing the Dominion. Thus instead of aiming at keeping up two weak congregations where one strong united charge ought to be ; instead of encouraging the planting of new churches wliere not absolutely needed, your Committee work- ing through Presbyteries has urged weak churches if possible to unite, and dis- couraged the planting of churches in fields that are not promising. Your Committee respectfully begs the serious attention of the Assembly to the painful fact that a large number of augmented congregations give so little to the .Augmentation Fund ; that while they are generous to some of the other funds of the church, they are neither just nor generous to the one supporting them ; and that this one-sided lil)erality has greatly hampered the Fund, and hindered the Committee from doing most important work for the Master, so jealous that His disciples should not neglect the liome. The Fund began last year with a balance on hand of 13,025.54 and ended with a balance on hand of $943.80. In plain English the receipts were $2,081.74 less than the expenditure. If the church is to take next year thirty or forty additional mission stations on her augmental list ; if the work of helping the young and promising congregations of new Ontario and of the far west to become self-sustaining is to be carried on with vigor, the Committee will need at least $30,000 or $6,872 more than last year. Most of the reports sent to the Convener are cheering, that by Dr. Findlay being specially encouraging. As Dr. Robertson's report covers a large and important field, and throws much light on the Committee's work, it is here given in full. 6i':i 49 AUGMENTATION REPORT OF THE SYNODS OF MANITOBA AND THE NORTH-WEST TERRITORIES AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Last year was perhaps the most prosperous in the history of augmentation ill Western Canada. Of the tliirty-three congregations on the list a year ago, twelve, or one-third became self-sustaining ; twenty missions were organized as congregations and placed on the list; and thirty-eight more were qualified according to the regulations of the Committee, but to place them on the list would embarrass the Fund. The removal of these congregations from the list and the reduction in other grants effected a saving of $2,450; the grants made to r^ew congregations amount to $2,950. It seems a pity that the state of the Augmentation Fund docs not admit of all Missions offering a minimum of .f550 towards salary being put on the list. Denying growing charges tlie right of complete organization is calculated to arrest development and postpone the day of self-support. Long distance and expense in travelling under the Probationers scheme in operation in the East impracticable in the West. There is a Probationers' Com- mittee, but, generally speaking, appointment to vacant charges are made for periods varying from one to six months. Of the forty-one charges in these two Synods sixteen are vacant. In the congregations reporting, the accessions to the com- munion rolls give an average of a fraction over twelve each which for Western con- gregations is quite encouraging. SYNOD OF MANITOBA AND THE NORTH-WEST TERRITORIES. On April 1st there were twenty-eight augmented charges in tliis Synod, of which fourteen were vacant. During the year these were removed from the list : Dominion City, Gretna, Hilton, Treherne, Breadalbane, Fairmount, Shoal Lake, Milita, Wolseley, Rosedale and St. Luke's. The additions to the list were : Belmont, Swan Lake, Nesbitt, Ravenswood, Pipestone, Strathclair, Shoal Lake, Saltcoats, Oxbow, Alameda, Wapella, Aber- neathy, Qu'Appelle, Hillburn and Broadview. The missionaries in charge of seven of these hfteen additions to the list are already called or being called and settled as pastors, which speaks well for pastors and congregations. Breadiilbane, Fair- mount I'ud Shoal Lake, which were put on the list last year, are removed already. There need be no fear that congregations sufKciently strong to support ordinances will be allowed to lean on the Fund even if they were disposed to do so. m REPORT BY PRESBYTERIES. 1. Presbytery of Superior — Has no augumented congregations. 3. Prenhytery of Winnipeg — During the year Dominion City and Gretna became self-supporting charges, leaving three still on the list. Selkirk reports a slight growth in families and communicants, but its financial record is unchanged, ilillbrook has as yet, no pastor settled over it ; an ordained missionary is in charge and it is hoped a settlement may follow. Meadow Lea reports a slight increase in communicants, but a decided falling-off in families, the result of a more accurate census. The congregation i)rocured a manse last year. .?. Prcxbytery of Roek Lake — Has five augmented charges. Thornhill as to families and memlSership remains unchanged, although nine communicants were added. A manse was purchased and the congregation is preparing to stand alone soon. Crystal City is vacant. Families and communicants have increased, and the financial record improved. In a year the congregation is likely to become m --i\: 60 '' ■ i , r Helf-suppurtiiiji. LaKiviere is still without a jiastor, Imt growing. Bi'linoiit aj)- pears ou tlie list for tlie first time, and promises uot to stay long. The liiildur Station is building a church. They j»romise !?700 and a manse, an average of $20 per family, or $10 per communicant. Swan I^ake is also new ; witii thirty-three families and sixty-nine communicants, the congregation offers $800 and asks for a grant of $100. //. Pre^hiftcnj of (ilcuhoi o—lUlton became self-svistaining, showing nvimerical and linancial grow til. Treherne undertakes to support its ow n pastor too, aiul its strength seems e(iual to the task. Cypress River is improving as a settled charge, and will. soon stand alone. Is'esbitt was put on the li.st recently. It has had a hard struggle with a church debt, which cripi)led it, but the debt is being materially reduced. Kavenswood until recently was a mission. Plymothism and other religious lights have done much harm; but, under a pastor, the scattered sheep are returning to the fold. 5. Pi-enhgtenj of Portayr la Pruiric — Has no augmented congregations, Ro.sedale having becouu' self-sustaining on settlement. <>. Prexbt/tery of Brandon — Brcadalbane called a pastor and resolved to become self-sustaining. A tornado blew down the church in the principal station, au. l)urin<; the year Trail and Vernon were removed and ^Nlaple Creek.

Grants, however, were paid to fifty-five congregations, and by drawing upon the Reserve Fund we were enabled to meet our obligations, so that this year no reduction of the grants was made. The sum total paid out vas $9,051.64, leaving the working balance $3,212.03. One congregation became self-sustaining, Wood tock, in the Presbytery of St. John, and there was an increase of $365.00 in local support, showing that Presbyteries have no^ ceased to exercise vigilance in guarding the interests of the Fund. It is a cause for regret that a few congregations were compelled after having decl- ^d their independence to tall from their noble position and to apply again for help. .. • Committee whilst sympathizing with these congregations, because of their new difficulties, trust thai oon by putting forth strenuous efforts they will retrieve their loss and enter upon a brighter career. The applications for aid during the current year number fifty-three ; and grants have been promised accordingly, aggrega ng $9,370.00. The Assembly is asked to confirm the Committee's action in its tieatment of special cases, and also to give authority to deal with any new application. Tr- 09 The Committee in confident that if the Fund is to ^row in the (ifleotions of our people »nd every year commend itaelf to their sympathies and liberality, very much (le|)end8 upon the ^u^mented Congregations themselves- as well as upon the n '.listers of rhese charges. Let our people see that those who are being helped are doing their utmost to help themselves, that they will receive help no longer when thoy can stand nlone, and at the same time do something to assist other weak memiiers, then the effect upon all concerned will be gratifying, and both weak and strong will rejoice together in the steady progress of a common cause. Your Committee cannot close the refjort without referring to Dr. Morrison, the late Secretary who died since the last meeting of the Assembly. SVe record our high opinion of him as a man and as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and also our great appreciation of the valuable service which he rendered, not merely as a member of this (Jommitlee but more especially as its etHcient Secretary.

The work of the Board is chiefly carried on within the Province of Quebec, the population of which is believed by many to have been from the beginning entirely Roman Catholic. This is a mistake. Many of the early settlers who arrived with the expedition of De Monts, in 1604, were zealous Huguenots, and among them pastors who administered the ordinances of the Gospel according to the creed of the Reformed Church. They were not permitted to continue long in their new homes. The Jesuits from the outset persistently opposed and persecuted them, and the fatal blow was finally struck at the Huguenot party in 1627, when Richelieu deprived the Protestants of their charter, and gave it to the Company of " One Hundred Associ- ates," stipulating that their emigrants should be French Roman Catholics, that strangers and heretics should not be allowed into the country, and that the Company should place and maintain three priests in each settlement. From that date for al)out two centuries the domination of Romanism in the Province, was unchallenged. Ignorance, superstition and servile subjection to clerical rule became almost uni- versal. The hierarchy controlled all things, religious, social and political. The wealth of the church and of religious corporations increased enormously, and the bulk of the people were impoverished. Such were the conditions under which French Evangelization was initiated more than fifty years ago. The effort at first was a feeble one ; but the aim most commendable. What was it ? Primarily to make known to the French people Jesus Christ as the only Saviour. Who that calls himself a Christian can object to this mission ? It is an undeniable fact that C hrist is not presented by Romish ecclesiastics to our French fellow-countrymen as tl.'^ only Saviour and Mediator between God and men. Tlie people are misled by their teachers in this respect, and the aim of our Board is to give them the true Gospel. We do not seek specifically to be social or politicsU reformers, or scientific propagandists, or censors of the press, or umpires to settle the quarrels between capital and labour. But we believe that by bringing the life of Christ into the hearts of men we touch all these matters in the most effective manner, and thus accomplish a great, essential, and patriotic part of the Cliurch's work ; for if Canada is to grow into a truly united, liomogeneous, and strong nationality, it must be along the lines of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment. The agencies employed by our Boainiing more and more ajjparent. These exert an irresistable influence for good. Pupils in whose hearts tlie Saviour is enthroned are our best missionaries in the homes of the people. Such schools might be indefinitely multiplied were funds for their supi)i>rt forthcoming. As to results, speaking generally, they are highlj' encouraging. The spirit of utter intolerance which prevailed thirty years ago has virtually disappeared. The right of private judgment and free sjjeech then denied is now conceded. The people fearlessly 6laim and exercise their polit'.cal rights regardless of ecclesiastical dictation. They demand propei-ly trained teachers, and better equipped primary schools. V^ery many are learning to speak and read and write in English. There is a steady increase in the circulation of daily and weekly papers, not a few of which manifest a liberal spirit, and are gaining courage to speak out occasionally in favor of modern progress and eipial rights to all citizens. These are st)me of the fruits of missionary eflbrts in circulating and teaching the Word of Clod. But there are others still more satisfactory. As shown in the tabulated statements of this report, we are able to count hundreds and thousands oi' men and women truly saved by grace and liA'ing consistent Christian lives, acting as the •' salt of the earth " and '' the light of the world " in their neighbourhoods. It is estimated tiiat the total number of French Protestants, ircludiug those who have gone from Canada to the United States, is at least 40,000. And here it may be said, as an evidence of their piety, that the weekly prayer meetings of our French Churches are more fully and regularly attended than those of English congregations. What are the main hindrances to this good Mission ? The zealous opposition of a numerous and thoroughly organized priesthood, backed by superabundant financial resources ; the social disabilities and ostracism to which converts are sub- jected ; the reproach of ceasing to be French, as their priests insist, by becoming- Protestants. It is right, however, to say that these obstacles are gradually disap- pearing through the progress of truth and ft >edom. What now stands in the way of more rapid advancement is not so much the disinclination of the French people to accept the Gospel as the .<;rowing apathy of English Protestants. Many of them seem to regard truth as in opposition to grossest error not worth contending for. The great master hindrance — the root and source of all minor ones — is lack of strong ruling faith in God and His Gospel. There is a spurious liberalism, of which many are enamoured, which is eating into vital godliness as doth a canker. The doctrine of those who yield to its seductivt influence is that all religions are pretty much alike, and that consequently Roman- ism is good enough for those who have been brought up in it, and therefore they should not be meddled with. Men and women of this class have faith in money, in athletics, in sports and theatres, in commerce, in secular science, in literatui'e, art and war, — but no faith in giving r. jiure Gospel to those addicted to the worship of the host, and of angels and the Virgin. SUMMARY OF THE YEAR'S WORK. t Thirty-six mission fields wiLh nii ^y preaching stations and fourteen colportage districts were occupied by twent; -nine ordained missionaries, eighteen evangelists, colporteurs and students, nnd twenty teachers, a total stall' of sixty -seven. The average attendance over ten years of age was 2,283. Number of families connected with missions, 922, and of single jjcrsons not connected with these families, 27(). Number of communicants, 1,033, of whom 146 were added during the year. The average attendance at Sunday Scliool, 1,074. and at i)rayer-meeting. 780. Two tliousand two hundred and forty-eight copies of the Scriptures and 30,000 religious publications were distributed. Contributions from fields were .15,868, and school fees, $1,019, making a total of $7,487. .77 Three hundred and thirty-six Protestant and 254 Roman Catholic pupils attended the nineteen mission schools. The Board does not luidervalue tlie significance of these statistics. Neither docs it seek to measure the force of the moral and spiritual movements generated and accelerated throughout the Province by the work of its missionaries, uor to tabuhite the peace and comfort brought to many in hours of darkness and sorrow, the strength and hope to others in their day of trials and persecmtious, by their iiiiuistry of love and symi)athy. It does not lose sight of these things, which in the sight of Heaven are of highest value, and would "thank God and take courage." t: ce rs r. n u x ^ o u at " 9 PKKSBYTERIES = - AND MISSION FIELDS.

Algoma — Mr. Pelletier's work has heen affected by the fluctuation of the people, but he sees evidence of a bright fuUire. Glengarry. — The number of families at Cornwall has been reduced by removals, but Mr. Paradis is gaining ground and winning his way into the homes of the people in his wide field. Ottawa. — St. Mark's, Ottawa City, has lost a number of families, but shows financial and spiritual progress. Masham : No inr^rease financially, but otherwise encouraging growth. Nanur : The wo-*k is prosperous and the pastor hopes to have the new church opened early in the summer and fiilly paid for, thanks to friends in Ottawa Presbytery and elsewhere. Monte Bella : Thert is a marked change in this commimity, and the missionary has been greatly encouraged by the people at many points in his wide field. Desert : A mixed field of great extent ; encouraging I'esults among the French families. Montreal. — St. John's has advanced. The people and pastor have been cheered and filled with hope. They have undertaken $1,000 for the Century Fund and will succeed. A marked feature of the year at Lacroix Church has been the grow- ing and promiseful work among the young. In this, members of the pastor's family have rendered invaluable service. St. Jean Baptiste Mission has prospered. St. Henri has been discontinued as a separate mission and attached to the St. Charles St. Mission. This was done partly for economy and partly owing to the erection of mission buildings in the neighborhood by another evangelical denomination. TheSi. CAarZca (S/reei 3fi«8t0Ji is supported conjointly by St. Paul's Church, Montreal, and the Board of French Evangelization. Services are in both English and French. The missionary ha"- access to a large number of Roman Catholic families. The Avork at St. Hyacinthe has grown, although the congregation has lost by removals. At Chambly Canton the new mission building will soon be finished, and about $400 addi- tional required to pay for it. Notwithstanding serious losses by death. New Glasgow more than holds its own. Belle Riviere has been disappointing as to numerical results, although good vvork done. The venerable missionary at Lachute has been able to visit and pray with many Roman Catholics. The work at Gren- ville has been satisfactory and the outlook promising. Arundel and Desalaberry have been efficiently worked. A manse is being built. The people provide about $400, the balance to be collected within the Presbytery. Valleyfield is a new field and the centre of a hopeful work in which the missionary has been greatly helped and encouraged by the pastor and session of the Presbyterian Church of the place. Joliette has been supplied since last fall by students from the Presbyterian College, Montreal, the pastor having then accepted a call to the French Protestant Church at Ste. Anne, Kankakee, 111. The people are anxious to secure the services of the Rev. J. H. Paradis, at present missionary at Cornwall, Ont. The Italian Mission, Montreal, is in charge of Mr. V. di Geneva, who has laboured with zeal and success among the Italians in the city. Quebec. — Mr. S. Rondeau was transferred last fall to the teaching staff at Pointe-aux-Trembles. Mr. P. Boudreau took charge of the Quebec Mission and has done excellent work. Mf. Boudreau has also opened a new field at St. Valier in the County of Bellecha«se. A large number of the people of that parish were dissatisfied with the decision of the ecclesiastical authorities respecting site of new church, and after long delay invited Mr. Boudreau to visit them. He did so, and has since then preached the Gospel almost every week to a congregation varying from fifty to eighty persons. The opposition so far is covert, and the influence of i'li ■';:. I ■-•V -'I it 80* judges, lawyers and clergy from far aud near has failed to close .in open door to the preaching of the gospel. A strong man will be needed to help carry on the Avork here. Elgin Road. — Rev. J. L. Moriu, M.A., of McOill University, has continued during the summer months the work of his fatlier-in-law, the late Dr. Chini(|uy, in this mission, whose influence is felt in the neighbouring parishes as is evident from an awakened spirit of inquiry which manifests itself in many ways. A colporteur will assist Mr. Morin during the coming summer. At La Jeune Lorette, Mr. Tsiegei has continued his success among his own people, the Huron Indians. Ste. Sophie and Nord Ham Missions have been placed under the care of one missionary. It is an immense field for evangelization with only a small number of Protestant families. The 1: issionary rented a house in tiie Village of Nord Ham, but had to give it up because the parish priest so ordered. Ditchfield is now a purely French field, Spider Luke, an English station, having been attached to Megantic Village. The people have .shown their appreciation of a permanent missionary by their liberality. The progress of the year has been encouraging. The work in the District of St. Francis was carrii'd on by a colporteur during the summer. Good work was done by the Students' Missionary Society in the Lac St. Jean and Port-au-Persil fields. The little church at Port-au-Persil will be finished early next summer. Miss Janeway, of New York, collected and forwarded from summer residents at Murray Bay, and friends, about $200 for this building. Evangelical Protestantism has a worthy representative in Mr. J. L. Campbell, B.D., who ministers to both French and English at Chicoulimi. Ste. Blandim. is a new field in which good work was done during the summer by Mr. E. Brandt, assistant teacher at Pointe-aux-Treml)les. Three families abjured Komanism, and many are reading the Scriptures. It is sowing time. Cucovna and St. Ct/pi'ien were worked by one missionary who visited Ste. Blandinc also occasionally during the winter. Seed sown five years ago at St. Cyprien took root and grew rapidly, for last fall twenty-six individuals openly embraced the Gospel and its only Saviour. Fierce persecution followed, and the missionary's faith and courage almost failed, for he feared that the little fiock would be scattered or forced to recent. They were led by a way that they knew not, for peace has been restored, and faith and hope in the future are strong and bright. Mira,. x'hi. — Mr. H. Joliat spent some weeks colporting in Bonaventure County. He was woll received by the peonle and placed many copies of the Scrijitures. St. John. — The missionary has supplied Edmondstou aud four outlying stations. His chief encouragement has been at Ste. Agathe where he baptized thirteen per- sons who had previously abjured Romanism and thus openly confessed Jesus. MISSION SCHOOLS. The Clergy of the Church of Rome have ever had control of education in the Province of Quebec. They have had the authority as well as the means to have secured ample education for the people had they been anxious to do so. The fact that out of a jjopulation of 1,500,000, there are 600,000 who can neither read nor write, determines their attitude t'^./ards popular education and exposes them to just reproach, for the recent efforts at improvement and reform are not due to their initiative, but to the demands of the people. Such demands on the part of the peo])le and also the attendance of so many of their children at our little mi.ssion day schools, as well as at the Central Mission Schools at Pointe-aux-Trembles aud similar institutions controlled by other evangelical denominations, are the promise of better and brighter days. Three mission schools disappear from oxir list this year, viz. : — rPerkins, Gren- ville, No. 10, and Arundel having been transferred to the School Commissioners of their respective municipalities. This accounts for deci'ease in statistics. They go to increase the large number similarly transferred vvithin recent years, which the Board began and sustained in a humble way up to t ^e point of almost self-support. NAMES OK SCHOOLS.

(H» Wl- ■ ' t 83 I- ••: THE POINTE-AUX-TREMBLES MISSION SCHOOLS. I :1: '"' ii ■' ■? ■:W » The Schools are situated ou the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, nine miies east of Montreal. They were founded in 1846 by the French Canadian Missionary Society, and weie purchased by the General Assembly of our Church in 1880, and since enlarged. Ou the mission property there are two school buildings, one for boys, which can accommodate about 110, and the other for girls, with accommodation for between seventy and eighty. Upwards of 4,000 French Canadians have already been educated here. Many of vj ese now occupy positions of trust and influence as ministers, teachers, physicians, lawyers, merchants, etc. Pupils are admitted between the ages of thirteen and twenty-tive, the average age last year being about fifteen. A pr'^'t 'ence is given to the sons and daughtera of French Roman Catholic parents and i i.e children of recent converts from Rome, living in parishes where there is no Pr >l' tant school. Many of these are unable to read or write when first received i i » the schools. The session begins in October each year and continues for .seven months. The pupils all reside in the buildings, and thus enjoy the advantages of a Christian home, under the watchful nature of earnest, devoted tea*-' as. They all take then' share of housework. The day's duties are thus laid at : — Rise at 5.30 a.m. All are in the class-room studying privately from six to seven. Breakfast at seven. Houses and out-door work from 7.30 to 8.45. Family worship, when all assemble together, boys and girls, at 8.45. School begins at nine with united Bible-class for all, and continues till twelve. Dinner at twelve, followed by recreation to 1.30. Then classes till four, recreation from four till five, classes from five till six, tea at six, recreation to seven ; studying privately in class-room till nine, then family worship (boys and girls in their separate buildings) at nine, and all in bed and lights out at 9.30 p.m. There are eight teachers, thoroughly qualified, all of whom reside in the buildings. They are earnest Christians, of devoted missionary spirit, thoroughly consecrated to their work. The Principal, Rev. J. Bourgoin, has been twenty -seven years connected with the institution, and is admirably adapted for his position. Miss Lena Haddow is the capable directress of the girl's school. All the teachers have rendered efficient service. Special pi'omineuce is given to the religious instruction of the pupils, and to the teaching of God's Word on the points of difference between Protestants and Roman Catholics. In these every pupil is thoroughly indoctrinated, and it is na exaggeration to state that comparatively few, if any of our English speaking young men and women are better acquainted with their Bibles, or are better able to give a reason for the hope that is in them, than are the pupils of Pointe-aux-Trembles when they leave the Mission Schools there. The attendance last session was one hundred and fifty-seven. Not only is great care exercised in the selection of pupils from the increasingly large number of French Canadians applying for admission, but the policy of the Board in inducing the brightest among them to continue for three or four consecutive sessions, is bearing manifest fruit. The schools are visited and examined monthly by a committee of the Board, appomted for the purpose, and in January at the end of the session written examinations are held on all subjects taught. While tbe past session was one of great encouragement — eighteen of the pupils having united with tho Church in March — it was also one of great anxiety, owing to the long- continued and serious illness of the Principal, brought on by too much work at the beginning of the session. It is gratifying to report that Mr. Bourgoin is now somewhat better, and will soon be able to go from home for change of air. It is hoped that he may be able to take the general supervision of the Schools next session, with such help as the Board may be able to give. 83 When the Board ac(iuired the property in 1S80, it resolved to admit no pupiis gratuitously, except Roman CJatholics whv se parents were unable or unwilling to contribute ; all others are required to i)ay something, in proportion to theii ability, towards board and tuition. The amount received in this way during the past session was $1,400. A considerable portion of this amount was money earned by the pupils themselves during the preceding summer. After deducting these fees, the average cost to the Church of each pupil is $50 per session. The Board desires that th^nstitution should be supported by means of scholarships of .$50 each, guarauteecl by private individuals or Sabbath schools and Young People's Associations. A particular pupil is u:j'Mgned to the donor of a scholarship, to whom reports as to the progress made are forwarded from time to time. In this way a Sabbath school contributing a scholarship is put directly in correspondence with the Mission Schools, and the letters, if read publicly to the Sabl)ath school, tend to keep up their interest in the work. It is hoped, therefore, that many more Sabbath schools and Christian Endeavour Societies will assume the support of pupils. From those unable to do so, a contribution is earnestly asked. The Board has no hesitation in warmly commending the schools as worthy of public confidence, assured that no means are likely, by the blessing of God, to e more efficacious in the work of French Canadian evangelization, and in advancing the cause of Christ in the Province of Quebec. Year after year God has manifestly set his seal upon this work, and blessed the labours of the teachers. " The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." THE principal's REPORT. in OW is ext The 54th Session of the Pointe-aux-Trembles Schools closed at the end of April, when a public examination was held. The Chairman and several members of the Board of French Evangelization, and a large number of friends were present and were much pleased with the results. The day of departure from Pointe-aux-Trembles is always sad, for both teachers and pupils. Many tears are shed, for it is here that important transforma- tions have takwi place in the young lives. Minds have been enlightened, superstitions and errors have fled before the truth, and the chains of Rome have been broken by the pure Gospel seen and heard for the first time. Every thing in the surroundings is dear ; the class-rooms recall the lessons and the teachers ; the chapel, the blessed hours when light entered the heart, and the many beautiful hymns and prayers that have ascended to the throne of God. One can understand why our scholars, with tears in their eyes say good bye to their common home. Our institution is more than a school, it i'- v. ^cspel home to which every scholar likes to come back after a long absence. This winter a former pupil visited us ; twenty-seven years ago he left the Schools and went to the States and has been there ever since. Said he, "as I passed through Montreal, I could not resist the temptation of seeing again the dear old Poiute-aux -Trembles whi-.-h I love, and from which I brought the best souvenirs and the best lessons for my success in life ; and the secret of this love is in the fact that the Divine Book is. so much taught here. ' ' This boy never forgot that he was a pupil of Pointe-aux-Trembles. While he worked to provide for his needs he gathered children off the street and. taught them what he had learned here; and to-day his Sunday school has become an organized church with nearly 300 membei-s. The following incidents will help to show once more the great power of the Gospel upon the young French Canadians. One of our boys, an orphan, and a Roman Catholic, was called away suddenly to see his dying sister. He went, but was much surprised at finding her playing about in the house. The sister did not expect her brother, but soon they understood the meaning of this. Through thfc priest letters had been written to bring back that boy to the parish. The priest came to the house. Our boy was forced to go to fr ' ■!.' i V. Ill ]! 1 84 t'diil'fSHion, to I'tu'iii iiia?^-, to follow ilu- prayers to the Saints aii«l ix'rlorm ccreinoiiicH during a whole week. A way was jtrepared to .send him to a eon vent. Tlie body of our jaiitil was in the hands ol' tlie priest, hut hi.s mind was Irec. he could I'ot Cortfct his old school, and the trutii ; and at last he escaped and ran aw'iy to us. «)n entering again our do«)r he said : ''Siirely the priests will deceive n»e no more." Ten yc'irs .igo, a loiiner pupil now in the Stales, met one of his countrymen ami said to iiim : "Aly deai' friend, when it will be thi time to give an education to your children I recotnmend you to send them to Point'^anx-Trembles and you will never regret it.'' Last .lanuary that man, came here with one of his boys and left him. For many days after that boy was .seen in a corner of the class-room weeping. He was a faithful Konmn ( atholic, and he felt sorry at seeing others n«)t wtnshipping (iod like him. Soon he understood the truth and the divine IJook became dear to him. lie wrote to his father saying: "I left home with my images, my beads, my scapulary and my superstitions, the.se things I have left behind. I will enter home with the (iosju'l." One hundred and Hf y-seven pupils were admitted this past .session ; eighty-six boy.s ami seventy -one girls; eighty of them belonged to lionnin Catholic homes. Eighteen of them confessed tht name of Christ and i»ecame members of the Church. Many ha\ '' returned to their parents, nominally Roman Catholics, with broader views, with a new light and willing and ready to defend and to testify for the good received at the I'ointe-aux-Trembles Schools. Our scho/;;rs have been active in the fulfdment of their duties. IVIanual work and lessons have been well attended to. Prayer meetings have been greatly blessed among the pupils; temperance work has been actively carried on, the members of the senior classes making stirring addresses, and warning their fellow •students ar^ainst the terriWe vice '>i*inteni[ierance. The Association of tho former and th*^ present pupils have again contributed $40.00 for i>rizes, and $5(».0() for books for the libraries. This is most helpful and sliniulating for the pu})ils. The scholars, though poor, are not unmindful of their duties, and, helped by their teachers, have coutribu^ed tlie sum of $15.00 towards the French Evangeliza- tion, $15.00 for the Century Fund, $15.0(» for the starving childien of India and $5.00 for the Foreign Missions. Three o'" our boys are going to work as colporteurs for the summer, and four girl.i lo teaci; in mission schools. The teaching staff was compo.sed of ^liss L. lladdow, directress, and the Misses V. (tiroulx, E. Hourgoin and A. Molleur, all former i)upils of the school, in the girl's school, and in the boy's school, Messrs. E. Brandt, S. Rondeau, B.A., and H. Joliat. The health of the pupils has been on the whole good. Teachers and scholars have been deeply grieved by the ]irolonged sickness of Principal Ronrgoin, ;in their turnest prayer has been that God may restore his strength and health for tlu continuation of the good work to which he has devoted his life. How glad the pupils weie to see before they left their beloved Principal once more in the chape to say good-bye and wish them all a hajipy return to their homes. We cannot close this short report without tendering our thanks to our numerous benefactors Avho have so faithfully provided for all our needs, and made possible this great work for freedom, for emancipation, for education, and the bigl. est welfare of our dear country.

The following extracts IVoin ri-t-fnt rcportM of worktTH will convey nonjc idea of the nature and coiulitions of their work iu widely He|)arated Melds, DKHTBOYKR AND DIHTKIHUTOK. " In tlie parts of the co\intr\ where I have already gone over, many coljiorteui-fl it seems have passed before selling many bo(»kH. As is generally the case the priest has had them destroyed, and forbidden the people to buy any more upon the plea that they were Protestant and bad. In spite of such opposition, by reading the nicest cliapters of the New Testament, I intluenced many of them to take copicH. Some take copies without any hesitation and witiiout any urging on my part. One lady to whom I offered a New Testament said she had no money, otherwise she would take it. I told her if she wished to have it I would wait for the payment until I should pass her way again. She Haid, ' Will you do so? I am .so I'lad, and I promise you that even if I have to wear away my lingers in earning the necessary money I will do so.' Many similar incidents might be stated. These are encour- aging, but how numerous are the times when I am turned away and might be treated as the vilest of men if it were not known that I have the protection of the law." A StiiN OK I'KOGHKSS. " Since your visit here five more have been added to our little flo(!k, making twenty-six in all since last spring. They are making great progress, morally and spiritually. One little thing will help show this : J, L. has a great passion for hunting, and used to go on Sundays. Last Sunday a friend called in the afternoon and asked him to go. He answered, 'No, I cannot go, it is Sunday.' It was no doubt a great struggle for him." THK KORBIDDKR KOKHIDDEN. " Not being able to sell ray books, I went to the priest and asked him how it was that I couhi uot sell in his parish, and to kindly give me authorization that I might do so. He replied with a very pitiful air that he had forbidden his parish- ioners to buy, and as for an authorization, that was forbidden him by his superiors." •'«■ . 11 THE PROFEHHIONAL MAN AND THE PRIEBT. " The other day I was in conversation with a notary of the place who said to me, ' My dear sir, don't think that we don't know that our clergy have departed from the truths of the Gospel. We know it too well. But we dare not say it. be- cause the priest would immediately hear of it, and as professional men we need their help. But a time is coming when there will be a radical change.' " TWO STANDPOINTS. " The priests here are furious and say that it is worse for the parents to send their children to our school than' it is to attend our services. In two or three cases the answer has been : ' Our children must learn the English language, and we want to know what Protestants believe, so we will go to their religious meetings.' May God enable us to act here with a large measure of wisdom and love." A PROMISE BROKEN. • "A woman promised with Imprecations that she would never attend our meet- ings, but her female neighbour brought her once, telling her that she would not '<^ u It 5 m 88 repent it. She was delighted and exclaimed afterwards: ' I heard a good sermon, and I have now proviniouH to nourish my soul for two weeks of the good things I heard, and I don't understand why our priest is afraid of this missionary.' " u li :'^n K[<; ». ii- THE people's protectors. ' ' One of our French Protestant families having had the misfortune to have their huildings burne(| by the bush fires was mocked at and ridiculed by some of the l)eople who said, -What's the use of ministers? They cannot stop the fire. If you had only sent word to our priest you would have been spared.' While the fire was raging all around thev brought out their images and crucifixes and fixed them to the walls, and those who were not burned out talked highly of the miraculcnis virtues of these poor protectors, but not a .vord about God." ; THE GOSPEL WINS. " During one of my visits at D I had tlie opportunity of seeing a dying J oung man to whom I talked of .Jesus and read the Gospe'. I asked the permission of his parents to pray, but they laughed at me. Then I said ' I will ask the sick man.' He answered affirmatively and earnestly. The priest had refused the day before to come and administer to him ' the last ritefe of the Church ' under the pretext that the roads were too bad. He came quickly tlie day after my visit. The young man died talking of the good things he had heard from ' the Gospel of a Protestant.' His sister afterwards ctnne to our meetings and told me how they had been persecuted for having receivea my visit at the death-bed of her brother ; ' but I have learned,' said she, 'that truly it is possible to die in peace in your religion. Our priests don't talk of God's pardon and of heaven in such circum- stances, but are always in a hurry and do wlmt they are accustomed to do mechan- ically. I will study the Gospel now.' This same lady had on a former occasion refused a New Testament." ■ i THREE VISITS AND VICTORY. " On my ."i- ~t visit at the house of Mr. S I was despised and insulted and abused. The second time they received me kindly and the master of tlie house was like another man. The words of the Gospel had evidently had some effect. I was armitted to read and speak and was listened to with astonishment. The third .ime I called I left a Bible atid shewed them that it was necessary to seek God's will in His Word and live in obedience to His Gospel rather than to the commandments of men. -Verily the entrance of Thy Word giveth light.' " THE HIDDEN LEAVEN. " Since I have been engaged in selling the Scriptures to the people of Quebec Province I have thought at times that I was doing a work with not much hope for the future. But I was mistaken. I recognize that I was, because I had at the beginning of this month the pleasure to meet with a man who received a copy of the Scriptures when he was in the States. He called me into his office saying, 'Come and see what I have here.' Then he showed me a fine New Testament, and he added that not an evening since he possessed it, about ten years, had he missed to read a chapter or more. Well, that man is stiil a Roman Catholic by profession, but he knows better and he told me so ; but he keeps a grocery store and on that account has to keep quiet. Now who will tell me that the books I have placed do not count the same way, and do not give encouragement? Nobody. So we are sure the light is coming. It is break!" a- already, but surely in this place of N — surrounded with so many convents and colleges ; yes, even here it is begin- ning to shine, for people who one year ago thought that a hor.se had as much religion as " Protestant, know and acknowledge the contrary to-day." 89 SOWING THR GOOD SEED. " During this month we had the pleasure of again meeting that Roman Catholic family that was ready last summer to leave the Church of Rome but did not because of relatives. They asked me for another Bible, and went to W for a lew weeks, and they told me that many other people in W were asking for the Bible. A few weeks ago I had a meeting near Ste. C, and I have since learned that one of the Roman (-atholies who was present is coming to see me and bringing a dozen of his neighbcurs with him. One good seed will bring forth fruit in due time. I have had occasion this month to explain the Gospel to many Roman Catholics." r '- ■• PUBLICATIONS. Two i»apers, "Grateful French Canadian," prepared by Rev. R. 1'.

This ha.s not been aeeording to my heart, hut no one man can do i'\erythin>^, and jierhaps as I now know the Erionmnyan lanj^uage better than I did some years ago, the work will ht^ better and more nearly eor/vet than if It had been done earlier. And how j;ements with the Hible Society to have the com- plete New Testament in Krnmianpm printed and bound here in Sydney, under their auspices, and for them and ai their expense, the Society allowing nu' to refund the whole co.st of printing and binding, year by year, as we may be able to prejtare annce till we shall, T trust, pay off every shilling of it. INFr. Barnett finds much more dilliculty now than formerly in disposing of our arrowroot as so nmny other New ITebrides missionaries are sending arrowroot to Scotland, but in a recent letter to me Mr. Barnett says he will do his best to find a market for INIr. ^lacKenzie's arrowroot and mine. What a friend Mr. Barnett has been in helping us in this way for many years ! Indeed, but for his help we never could have disposed of our arrowroot. T am (]uite resolved, for their own real and i>ermanent good, that the Christian natives of Erromanga shall now and henceforth pay their own teachers on their own island. I do feel that the Canadian Church shouhl now be relieved of the ex- pense of the Erromangan mission to that extent. Our Erromangans are very fiir from being a rich people. Even as we under- stand the term in reference to native races. They are among the i)Oorest in the group, as their island has few, very few, co(^oanuts upon it. But that is the peojde's fault, for not planting them, as the soil will grow anything which can be grown in the tropics anywhere. Yet they are not j)oor, and where there is the will there is always the way ; and since they can and do spend money for tobacco, guns, hair oil, perfumeries, and upon too much heavy needless clothing in such a warm climate, and ujion other fooli.sh things ; I have no hesitation in pressing upon them their duty as jirofessed Christians to sui)port entirely and freely and ungrudgingly and sy.stematically their own faithful and hard working tea< i'.crs. And if they will not do so then they shall not have them, for after years of thought and prayer and planning in connection with this important department of ttie work, my wife and I have come to the conclusion that the time has fully come when the Erromangans should support all native helpers on their own island, build and keep in repair all the native-made school houses and churches, and paying for all their own books, including the complete New Testament, and that to keep the Christians of our island any longer in swaddling-bands would only prolong their heli)lessuess and foster the natural sellishness of the human heart.

One of the most solid proofs of this statement is that fact, aliH-ady referred to, viz., the amount given hy the natives for the support and extension of the (M)spt'l. Another evidence is that never iiefore have parents and friends f the natives have been carried otf by it on otlu-r islands. We have been somewhat in dread of the bubonic plague breaking out li('!'i>, as there is constant communication between this and Noumea, where it iias beea raging for some time. On account of family matters I foeml it necessary to iii:ike a hurried lip to Sydney iu July. ]Mr.s. MacKenzie carried on the wdrk in ni ,' absence. Although during the year many things happened wliieb sorely grievcn i> and tried our patience, yet on the whole the work has. I belie,' , made good i*ii.gress. One thing that saddened us very mucli was that one of our ytung men from Erakor. the smartest native I ever taught, and one whom we all were i)roud of, was sent home from Malekuhi in disgrace. He liud been out as a teacher on that island for several years, and it was so gratifying to receive such good reports of him from yenrtoyeai' from the missionary under whom he was labouring. It gives :'H': 102 us some comfort, however, that iinmediati'ly after liis fall he confessed his siu, and appears ever since to he deeply penitent. Another case tliat deeply grieved lu was that of a young man whom we hai)tized and admitted to the Lord's t!.'.>lc, while at the same time he knew he was f^uilty of sin. A few days after ne Com- munion it was found out that he had stolen a sum of money from i native of another island, who had been away in Australia for several years, hut had recently come to live at this young man's village. The chief and the rest of the natives were very much ashamed that one of their number should treat a stranger who had come among them in this manner, so they held a meeting and raised among them the part of the money he had spent- part of it he had restored, and then they took away his property and compelled him to go and work fo; one of the settlers until he should earn suthcient to relinid them. There are no longer any heathen in our district to be bi-ought in, hence, owini; to the nature of the work progress must be sfow. When they are coming in and giving up their old customs, from naked i>ainted savages becoming apparently devout worshippers, decently clothed, and attending church and school regularly, the progress seems to be by leaps and bounds. But after t\w novelty has worn oil and the majority of the adults have lieen baptized and admitted to the Church, it is uphill work, and one is apt to feel at times a little disheartened, seeing it advance so slowly. But like the risi'ig tide, receding but ever advancing, the good work, notwithstanding many discouragements, is making steady progress. The high death rate is, I may say, a particularly discouraging feature of the work. Still, at .some of our villages, especially at Mele, Pango and Erakor, we have a tine lot of children. The exemplary conduct of the people of this village merits special mention. Besides supplying us gratis with all the yams we recjuirtl for our table, they have kei)t the fence aroiuul our premises in repair, as well as those around the church and school, and have been most hearty in any work connected with the ^lission, such as boating, preparing arrowroot, etc. Then besides contributing liberally (or seats for their new church, of which they are very proud, and paying the salary of their teacher, they built him a substantial lime cottage of three rooms. At Mele, too, we have had much to encourage. Early in the year they elected a new chief, those who were chiefs in heathenism having resigned in his fiivour. It has been the custom at nearly all our villages after coming in to elect a new chief. On this occasion there was a very large gathering, all the villages far and near having been invited. There were between 600 a^id 700 present. Most of the Europeans in the district came to the ceremony. A very large (piantity of food — over twenty tons of yams, besides sugar cane and cocoanuts — was provided for the guests, and a great many hogs were slaughtered. It was principally their own aflfair, but they asked me to perform the ceremony. When it was over all the natives of the village brought their chief a present, some of them silver coins, others mats, baskets, pieces of print, articles of clothing, etc. The Mele natives are the cleanest and tidiest about their persons and premises we have. Last year was their fir.st to take up Sunday collections. They gave their teacher £7 10s., and au assistant £2, and to purchase seats for thei/new church they gave £14 10s. Towards the end of the year we lield a tea-meeting, with the double object of raising some money towards completing our church, and bringing our peo])le together to enjoy themselves.

GENERAL REVIEW FOR 1899. i The following changes have taken iilace during the year: In tiie mouth of June, Dr. Grant returned from Canada, quiet renewed in strength and vigor. Mrs. Grant, having undergone a successful operation while iu Canada, followed in October, entirely free from the facial pain from which she sutt'ered so much and so long. Mr. Eraser and family, accompanied by Miss Archibald, sailed J\ • Canada in June, and returned in December, mucli improved in health. Mrs. Macrae, who on account of ill-health, was obliged to seek a change of climate, sailed for Caiuida iu April, and returned with the Eraser's in December, much invigorated. Mr. Hnrold Clark, who labored with much acceptance for two yennias teacher in the Training School, retired iu July, and was succeeded iu August oy Mr. Frank Smith of Musquodoboit, N.S. Miss Sinclair, having completed her term of service, retire'^ froii^ the field in December. Miss Mary Laytou, of P.E.I. , has been appointed her successor, and is now on the ground. At the April examination of the Training School, seven pupil- out often were successful in obtaining certificates. Initiatory steps have been taken to secure recognition foi- a Sci.wl of F5econd- ary Education iu San Fernando, and finally aifiliation y\\> i the (^u^en's Royal College. To meet the growing demand" ; the Tunapuna field, the ".flev.

A new school was opened at Sangre Chiquito. just i)eyond Sangre Grande, July 1st. so that i" have now sixteen schools under my management, fourteeii of them assisted by Govern- ment, with 1,944 children enrolled for the year on the (piarterly roll, and 835 in average daily attendance. The management of these schools calls for much travel, activity and anxious thought. There is scarcely a week in the year in w -h the mind is imt exercised over some one or more of tiiem. The Government pispector keeps his eye on the secular instruction and tests results in his annual exaruination. But the religious tr ining, general management and tone of the school depend greatly on our watch- fuiness.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies has ordered the introdiU!tion of agri- cultural education. His proi)osal is an excellent one, but the means suggested 108 seem iuadeciuate, and the result must be increased work and anxiety to school managers, at least for a time. lilblc Women. — Four Bil)le women were employed more or less continuously daring the year. This Ijrane!^ of our service is founded on the principle that the Churcli .mgiii to utilize all its availal>le force, and that there is a special capacity in Cliristian women for a special spliere of Christian work. This sphere is ciiiefly and formally among women and children. Occasionally, however, it tells directly as well as indirectly upon the men. Our women during the year have done excellent service. \\\ these difl'ercnt agencies the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and of salvation througii Him, iuis been brought to old and young through church services, schools and visitation. Magic lantern scripture jiictures have also been used extensively and with excellent ell'ect, in school-houses, in the shelter of work- sheds, and even in the open air, to reach tiiose who cannot be drawn to .Sabbath services. Mrs. Morton, wlio has enjoyed excellent health during tiie year, continued, as in 1898, her Hible class for the advanced children of Tunajjuna school, her sewing class for tlie girls. l)y wliich she earned three dollars a month for our mission funds, and her Temperance work. In addition she re-opened lier "'Girls' Home" in January and kept it on till Chri • las. The late INFiss McCurdy. of Truro, made Mrs. Morton her residuary legatee. The sum arising from this she devoted to a work in which the donor was specially interested. Other sums were given by the L. B. M. Society of St. Andrew's Church, Truro, Nova Scotia, and by other friends. These sums, with the legac^y, amounted to $251.48. The total ex])enditure was $251.88. Tlius. without any effort of planing, the amount received covered the outlay. The iiigiie.st number in tlie ' 'tome" was twelve, and tiie average between nine anand this year, the total number enrolled being 82(i. It is not professed that every one of these 'as uni- formly kept bis first pledge, but the number who have done so is very remarkable and very encouvagiiig. In this district the last half-year has been a time of trial to the people. Our princi])al sugar e.-jtates have been practically in liquidation, witli tlieir future ownership uncertain. They liave not therefore employed the usual labour. The rainfall lias also been deficient, so that the people's gardens have suffered. '.'''lus has effected our contributions for tlie year, and it has driven some of our people out to tlie woods. It iias been trying to them and to us ; but we hope the present distress will soon pass away. Miss Blackadder's report is herewith forwarded and the general rejiort will refer to her past services and coming furlough. "I'lie following buildings were erected during the year : A school and teacher's house at Sangre Chiquito, a teacher's house at Arouca. and a catechists Jiouse at Chaguanas. The statistics for the year show 170 baptisms, 77 of them adults ; 23 marriages, and 150 communicants in good standing.

Early in June I resumed work here, iiaving spent the first live months of the year eliietly in Nova 8cervice every Habbath, and supervises schools within his reach, besides attending to the ordinary work of the eldership. Statistics I leave wholly to ilr. Eraser, but in the agencies at work to jtroduce lhe.se statistical results tlieve is much to commend ; much to awaken gratitude and hope. Our people are willing, liberal and thoi'oughly loyal to the parent cliureh in Canada, and are planing witli their missionaries to do more (inaiicially. On the sciiool work which is a power for go >d and which ei: recidout and two non resider t students are in atten|)lied. Notwithstanding present shortc«)mings, however, all our districts are gradually developing and consolidating. We mourn the lack, of spirituiil life throughout our field, yet we have met and dealt with more genuine anxious encpiirers during the past year than perhaps during any previous year, There is gradually a moving among the dry l)ones, although we have not yet seen the quickening from on high in the measure longed for. The contributions of our native il connected with these schools, as well as other pha.ses of missionary work. .Miss Sinclair, having completed her term of service, retired from the field in Deceml)er. She has left behind her an excellent record, both as a teacher aud Christian worker. She returned home considerably reduced in strength and vigour, but amidst the regrets of the many whose welfare she .sought. The work she laid down will be taken up by Miss Layton, who is now ou the ground. Thus the workers change but the work goes on. The usual stress has been laid on Sunday School aud Christian p]ndeavour work. Here we feel the need of earnest teachers and workers. These excellent organizations, like the old-fashioned millstones, will give no returns unless .some energetic hand steadily applies the motive power. One of the mo.st important and perhaps the most dillicult pha.ses of missionary work is '• teaching to teach," and leading those who know the truth into earnest, steady, active .service. The returns of our Sunday Schools aud Christian P'udeavor Societies are encouraging, but we feel that they are not what they might be, nor what they will be when all oiu- workers have learned more thoroughly the art of winning souls. The average attendance of our twenty-two Sabbath Schools is 477. The Boys' Brigade has been su.stained with interest throughout the year. Although the majority of our boys are very small, yet our company has taken second rank in the Scriptural examination of the Trinidad Batallion. By appointment of Missiou Council, I vi.sited St. Lucia in the early part of December, aud endeavoured to advance the work in that Island. Many tolteus of Divine favour aud blessing have nuirked the year now closing, while not a few evidences of the necessity for humiliatiou aud earnest prayer have been manifest. f" Rev. A. W. Thompson writes : As stated in last year's Keport, the heralquarters of mission work in the Couva District were removed from Exchange Village to higher ground, at Balmain. The work of removal began in December, and was c()mi)leted in February, and on March 1st we took up our residence in our new (|uarters. It will take some time to get all the work adjusted to suit the change, but things are quietly shajiing themselves. The opening up of a road to the north, through a fine Cacao settlement taps the whole of rl e upland country, and brings it inucli nearer to the new centre than it ever was to the old. The change has settled one or two problems that have been before us for some time. The church in Exchange Village has for a considerable time caused us much thought. Its situation was bad — very bad, just on the edge of the village canal, I ,f; ■ 112 untl il was often very fur from \w\\\\f I)U>u^4Ullt, to say tlic Inist, to sit on the canal .sid(! of till' oluirch (luring ovi'iiin^ siTvicc. The removal of the manse left tiie centre of tiie lot fiee, an met l»y special suhscriplion from the English congregation and our I"'ast Indian friends. Church extension was another long-pressing prohlcm. < )ur church Ih far too small. Once il was moved to a Itetter position the (piestion of its enlargement came up before us. After due consideiation and advice, it was decided to build a new church at IJalmain. and gather to it all the ui)laud country jicople, h xving the church at Kxchaiige Village to serve the wants of all those who live in the sugar eatated, and the villages adjacent to them. This will amply meet the case, and will greatly promote the etlicieiit working of this held. An earnest ellbrt is being matle to raise the funds fortius work among our own pi'ople inul their friends. The workers, with one or two exce[itions, gave good satisfaction during the very trying year just closed. Four catcchists were em]tloyed ; ele\ en schools were in operation; twenty Sunday schools wcri' conducted, and twenty-live regidar Sunday services were held. Miss Fisher laboured with her wonted zeal and spirit until August, when, at the re<|Ui'st of the .Mission ("ouncil. she went to the aid of the Tiniapiuia District, whcreshe still lal)oin's With much acceptance. Henry liirbal. who got his first lesson from Miss Fisher, and worked his way up in her school until he entered the Training College— where, after two years' study he won a second class certificate — succeeds her and has done good work. He was the second one of the mission teachers to win a second class. Charles Lalla, now in the Train- ing Si'hool. is another of Miss Fisher's promising boys. Besides these, most of our Indian teachers and ])Upil teachers have had their training, in whole or in gl•^ater ))art, in her school. She left us with an excellent record. Every day makes us more conscious of our loss. No department of our work calls for special notice. Our thani s are due to the brethren for timely help in our special work ; to Jas. Arbuckle. Esq., who has placed the manse family, as well as the mission, under many obligations ; and to all friends, who in any way aided in our work. Our trials have been many, but our mercies have abounded. The Lord hath been mindful of us ; He will bless us.

I PRESHVTEKI.\N TRAINING COLLEOE REPORT FOR 181>!». Ten students were in attendance during the year. They were of two drafts 1)Ut the stuilies were arranged to deal with them as a single cla.ss. Dr. Cfrant was al»seut in Canada during tlie first term, and Kev. Wm. L. Macrae a.ssisted us by taking up the New Testament subject. As Mr. Fraser left on Dr. Grant's return, and .Mr. Macrae's subject was only in course, he continued his class work throughout the three terms. We are much indebted to him for the assistance thus rendered in our college work. Kev. Lalbiharising took his classes regularly during the year. Each teacher took the same subjects as in previous years. During the midsummer holidays all our native ministers and catP''*'''«ts were brought into res .deuce at the college for five days, for addresses or <■• ' subjects, conference and prayer. The subjects taken up were " The Word,i?ac^.aments, and prayer, and the work of *he Holy Spirit." From the first the interest was marked, and it continued to deepen till the close. The eflect on our workers, and through them on our mission must be advantageous and it is proposed to hokl similar gatherings in future years. The accounts for 1809 will be forwarded by Dr. Grant. For 1900, we ask as in past years the sum of £125. The Foreign Mission Committee would call the attention of the General Assembly to the fact that the Canadian mission staff in Trinidad has been strengthened by the appointment of an as-sistant to Dr. Morton. At their meeting held in October last, a petition from the Mission Council was submitted, a.sking for a sixth missionary for Trinidad. This petition was supported by a strong repre- sentation from the Presbytery of Trinidad, whose commissioner was present at the meeting, and gave reasons why the petition should be granted. After careful consideration the Committee resolved "that in view of the pressure on our funds, the Convener be directed to correspond with the Mission Council and arrange if possible for an assistant in Dr. Morton's field, in the meantime with a view to an ultimate appointment when the way is open." This was done, and at the request I IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 I.I m. 12.5 Ui 1^ 122 2.0 lit tM i 11 ||||l.25 1 1.4 1.6 ^ 6" ► m /: '/ ^P K Photographic Sciences Corporation 23 WEST MAIN STREET WEBSTER, N.Y. 1 4580 (716)872-4303 #^^ fV <^ [V ^1\ '[issiou Counr;.i, Mr. Harvey Morton was appointed for a year, on the understanding that the extra expense be met if possible in Trinidad, without calling for any increase in the Trinidad estimates.

At the same meeting of Committee, a communication was read from Rev. J. B. Cropper, intimating that the Government of British Guiana had made proposals to him with the view of obtaining his services as Superintendent of East Indian Settlements in that Colony. It appears that the Government are anxious to retain the Eivst Indians in Demerara as permanent settlers instead of havinfj them return to India on the expiration of their inderture, as they have a right to do according to the terms of their contract, and that they are of opinion that if they can secure the services of some able and tactful superintendent to visit their settlements, to look after the interests of the settlers, to promote the sanitary condition of their settlements, to seek to encourage and stimulate them in planting fruit trees, vegetables, etc., as well as rice, to arrange for the establishment of village councils for the administration of the aflairs of the settlements, and to try to settle as far as po.ssible all disputes and (juarrels that may arise, they would do much to promote the welfare of the East Indians themselves as to advance the interests of the Colony. The Governor of the Colony having made the acquaintance of Mr. Cropper, who had acted as his private in St. Lucia, was of opinitm that l.e was well (lualified for the work. Accordingly he proposed to him that ne should undertake the work, which Mr. Cropper after consulting with the Mission Council in Trinidad and your Committee, and obtaining their concurrence agreed to do, ail the more readily as he thought that he would still be able to do much real mission work as well as help to facilitate the operations of the missionaries, and also set free the funds to the account of the salary which he had been receiving for the support of an additional missionary. This arrangement took effect on December 11th, and is now in operation. In April, your Committee were informed by Rev. G. E. Ross, of Bethany Church, Halifax, that he was ready to go as a missionary to Demerara, should the Committee think it for the best interest of the church and mission to send him. The Committee were well aware of his fitness for the work, agreed at once to ask him to accept an appointment and to leave for that field in the early autumn. At tlie meeting of the Synod held Truro in October, he was designated, and sailed next day for Demerara which he reached in safety and where he has since been at work in the field formerly occupied by Mr. Cropper. At the end of the year Mr. Ross reported as follows : — I beg leave to report that I arrived in Demerara on October 26th last, and at once took charge of our work at Better Hope. Mr. Cropper who has been labouring here for the past three years, remained with me for a time, initiating me into methods of work and surveying the large field committed to our care. Duriufi the remaining two months of the year in addition to carrying on the regular mission work, special attention has been given to acquiring the language. Con- siderable progress has been made in this particular, but one finds with all the pressure of work, that he cannot devote such time to the language, sw is really necessary. Our work in Demerara is yet in its infancy ; but a magnificent field for missionary enterprise is afforded us. The prospect is most encouraging. We earnestly hope and pray that in the near future more laborers will be sent forth to Strengthen our hands, and that Demerara with her 120,000 East Indians may speedily be reclaimed for the Master.

In the judgmeut of tiie missionaries tlie prospects are so good that they are not only about to occupy a scoontl centre at Ham Hung, but they urgently appeal to your Committee for an iui'iease of our start". The state of the funds prevented the Committee from com- plying with their request, but they decided to lay the facts presented before the riiuich, and as this new field is not so well known as the others, it has been ihouglit i)est to give thu As.-!enil)ly tlie reports of the mitjsionaries almost in full. Mr. Foote writes as follows : Last year when the iei)ort of our work since coming to Korea was written, Woiisau was one of the mission stations of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, north, with Rev. .J. S. Gale in charge. It was not until September 9th of this year that he removed to Seoul. Before that time although we devoted the best of our energies to the study of the language, we rendered him any assistance we were able. Since that time, with the help of the native Christians, we have cared a^ l)est we could for the interests of the work committed to our charge. ftinerating. — This field is very extensive, being about 200 miles long and forty miles wide, including thirty-nine magisterial towns and almost innumerable villages. A large part of my time should be given to country work, but during the past year, owing to my limited knowledge of the language, I found itinerating on a large scale impracticable. Early in the spring I visited Ham Hung, a large city 100 miles distant, to look after the work of the Church in that station. I reached there March 4th, and found a little band of Christians meeting every night for study and worship, five of whom I baptized. On April 8th I made the first of several trips to Anpyon where we organized an out-station. Altogether I have spent about six weeks itinerating. Daif Schooln. — Over two years ago the native church here purchased a field, the proceeds of which are devoted to the support of a school for the boys of Christian parents. The teacher derives nearly three-fourths of his salary from this source, and tha remainder is paid by the parents of the boys attending. The number of boys enrolled is fifteen. The Bible is studied every day. The other subjects taught are reading, writing, arithmetic, catechism, singing, Chinese and English. Early in January Mrs. Foote opened a school for girls, two afternoons of each week. Seventeen are enrolled, and for want of a better place they meet at our house. It is U(»t the custom of this land for girls to attend school, consequently l)ut few can read. This is a great drawback in our work. The subjects taught are reading, writing, arithmetic, catechism. New Testament, Chinese, English, singing and knitting. Sunday School. — In this department of our work great interest is manifested. The Koreans are bright, intelligent, and persistent students. This makes teaching easy. In April, at Mr. Gale's request, Mrs. Foote and I opened two Sunday f 116 I 1 ■ !) >■: f':' .'1 . i 1 : IIF 1 i ( ¥ 1' h iui •* ; t. 1 1 1 1! i '< School cliirtso.s for the younj? people of our congregation. We could not speuk many words of the language, and the task was diHiuring the lastof .March and first of April, Mrs. Swallen hehl a similar da.ss for women. Four came from Ham Hung 100 miles distant. As but few Korean women can read and as they do not have equal opportunities with the men for study, the teaching of necessity was elementry. However, a good beginning was made which already lias proved a blessing to the Church. ICrenhif) i^tiulif. — ^To thos*^ who in earlier years were wedded to idolatry, and whose religious acts were to worship at the graves of tlieir ancestors, but are now Christians, the liible is a wonderful book. Even the oldest Ciiristians here Inst heard tiie (idsjiel but a few years ago, and the way they study the word of God is certainly remarkable. In connection with this congregation during the long winter evenings there are three places where the Christians meet c\ery night for Bible study. They sit on the fioor in a circle around the lamp and often far on into the nigiit without re- ference, Bible or commentary, but with reverent minds and prayerful hearts try to understand arigiit the message of Cod. Praift'r-mccliiufH, — A prayer-meeting is conducted in every section of the con- gregation. The marked dillerence between the number who attend preaching service and prayer-meeting in the home-land is entirely wanting with us. Every person who attends preaching .service makes it a jtoint to be at i>rayer-meeting. Preachitifj Services. — I cannot speak too highly of the assistance rendered by the natives in these services, or of the average attendance. It has been some months since Mr. (Jale, who by his pleasing manner and beautiful Korean language maont our house from morning till night for ahout a month, wv ohtaiiied the use of a huilding near by, and continued practice there. Atler a month's further practice my eighty nts seen an«l treated in the two montlis was not very large, hut most of then> .several times, and many of them through a long course of treatnu>nt. I luul ten opera- tions under chloroform and twt) under cocaine, one of which was for cataract. I must acknowledge with thanks invaluable as.sistance rcnd«'red in the major operations, as almost daily in the minor dressings, by Mr. ^lacrae, who very quickly learned to be a satisfactory ana«'sthetist. From the time of discontinuing public practice until the present time 1 have done miu'h work in bringing to an enortunity, C()nversing. preaching, singing, praying, and reading good books allowed in the waiting room. He also sold a large number of books and tracts to the patients. I will n(»t in tlii.- connection give instances of spiritual results, which, by the blessiug of (Jod, were uot u few. Several who had. never heard of Christ bel'ore coming to the doctor have since shown interest in the (Jospel. From May to Septend)er my time was mainly occupied in language .study, ami at the end of that period I went up to Seoul and took the language examination on the first year's cour.se of study as laid down by the Examination Committee of the Mission of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. Since returning I have receivt'd notification- from the Chairman of the Examining Committee that I had passed the examination, making in the oral examination one hundred per cent., and in the written ninety-five per cent. At a meeting of our Mission on June l})th it was decided that Mr. Macrae and niy.self should have charge of w-ork in Ham Hung. My wife has devoted herself to language study, and such participation in Church work as her ability and health permitted. Since June I found it necessary to have a separate language teacher for her and was happy in securing a most excellent scholar, who is also a very efficient Christian w»»rker. Key. D. M. Macrae, reports as follows : In the month of February accomi)aniev. M. (>. Fenwick, I crossed overland from Seoul to Wonsan. Household afliiiis liaving been arranged, the tusk of studying the language was begun. The coiu'se of study as drawn up by the American Board of examiners was followed. In Sej)- tember I took the examinations in Seoul — passed " creditably." Ithwratintj. — I was only able to take four trips into the county and spend in all twelve weeks itinerating. During that time I vi.sited Ham Hung, Hong Won, Took Chun, Pyol an Tai, Sin Chin, Fai Cho. So Ho. Chin Hung and An rytiiiKs \v«'iv hold evt-ry ninlit in tlu' hoiisf of Mr. Shin.

He snid a few days before I left "pleas*' tarry with us a little longer. I have lu'en speaking to others about .Jesus and they seemed interested. 1 woidd like you to see them," and said he '• this iiouse is now too small for us and we will have to get a larger phure t<» worship in.'' He spoke with a heart ready to give. While we tarrieil there I l)elieve the Ijord chose out for himself s«'veral good lucn. Scan-ely a night went by without some soul enquiring earnestly into thiH new plan of salvation. Thirteen miles out from the city there is a man who walks in to service on Sunday mornings. The regular attendance at present is sixteen iiicii and si.\ or more women. The outlook is encouraging. Funds are needed so as to locate missionaries in this city. So Ho the port of Ham Hung, is seven miles from the city. \ week was spent iicre. hooks were sold and a time of seed sowing spent among the villages. Hong Won is a large .seaport town, thirty-three miles north from Ham Hunpf. Here there is one man who was bapti/.ed in the city of Ham Hung, by Rev. W. H. Foott'. on recomnuMidation of a sessi«>n convened by Rev. J. S. Gale. This man tirst iu'iUHl of Christ from a Korean, now he ha.s told the story tt) others; while there his mother and two other men took part in prayer in the meetings. An old grey bearded gentlemen (a confuciani.st at one time) also lottk his stand for Christ, but has now moved l()-> miles inlaiul. God grant that he may in that |)art of tlut country hear witness for his .Master. I'ook Chun is a large walled city sixty miles north of Ham Hung, and has a garrison of ;{()() soldiers. A few days were spent in this citv and a number of bouk» sold. Pyol An Tai, in this village seven mi.es from the city of IViok Chun there is one who itrofesses faith in Chri.st. Last nummer after the death of his wife tlu* villagers cailled upon him to sacrifice to his ancestorsand appease the wmth of the s](irits. This he refused to do and as a result sullered persecution. His hou.se was i)roioldly standing in the doors and windows to havea look at the "moksa" (pastor). One striking feature in labouring among this people is their readiness to admit that they are sinners and that in this world there are none righteous. To-day they lend a ready ear to the preaching of the gospel. Doors are open on every hand. All honor and glory to God for the triumphs that have beeu won. It i» 120 with a heart t'lill of grutitii!>, to \pril 1st, l!>00 $;j,421 «♦> i^Your Committee have received a very urgent ai)peal fron> the Korean Missimi- arie.s for rein foreenients. They give strong reasons why these addilioual mission- aries should he sent to them immediately. Your Committee thought well to give these reasons in the terms of their own appeal, in whieh they say : — In the Fii'st plaee we call your attention to the enormous size of this fu'ld. representing two and a half out of tlu^ thirteen provinces of Korea, with thirty-live large magisterial towns and iluiumerahle villages, a coast line of •"»()(» miles, and a popidation ai)proaching one million souls. All this lield has '■>ceu entru.sted to mir charge, and in it we arc the strongest force with oidy one Methodist and one Inde- pendent missionary (now absent) as fellow labourers. In the Second place we a.ssure you that the whole field is accessible to mission work. On the one hand there is an enquiring and receptive people, and on tiif other a growing native church full of zeal for the conversion of their fellow- countrymen. In the Third place you will notice that we do not ask you to support cateehists, colporteurs, native jiastors and school teachers, or to build school houses, colU-gts and churches. Nor do we ever ])ropose to ask for money from home f<»r such pur- poses, since all these will be provided here through the devotion and liberality nt' the native Christians themselves, as reports from all over the land will show. Finally we would have you believe that the prime necessity for this Held is an adequate force of trained foreign leaders. The great work of the mission is to follow up, organize, and superinten for the year preceding, making a total falling off on both funds of I'), 308. 53. It should be noted, however, that the be(piests which came into the fund during 1890-1000, amounted to only J7")0, while those which became available in the previous year reached the sum ol'|3,229.7r>, thus accounting for a diflerence of $2, 470. 70 from this source of revenue alone. On the other hand our expenditure on all the fields has been smaller. The diderence in the New ]Iebrides is small, but about $2,000 less has been paid on account of Korea, mainly because travelling e.\|)enses and outfit were included in the previous year, and upwards of $1,000 of what was due Trinidad remaining unpaid on April 1st, 1900. These statements will explain why with a smaller income your Committee are less in debt. Your Committee, as well as the u iiole Church, and very sjiecially the mission- aries in the Field, have to mourn the removal by death of the Kev. 1*. M. Mor- rison.

Thirty-four years ago Rev. James Nisbet began mi.ssion work amongst the Indians in the Saskatcliewan. To-day work is carried on at the following nineteen points, by missionaries whose names are given at the beginning of the report. 1. Mistawaais Reaerre. — There are forty-eight families, fifty-five communicants, of whom nineteen were recently added, and forty-seven in the Sabbath school. Mi.ss Gillespie the teacher, keeps seven of the children in her father's bouse, from Monday till Friday, because of the distan ce of the school from their homes. 2. Prince Albert. (Makoce Waste). — This mission in cluu'ge of two ladies, is patiently and prayerfully cultivated. There are seventeen children in the school. Several little girls are kept in the mission house and one boy who had his foot amputated. Regular religions services, committing of texts, gardening, the disappearance of ])agan rites amongst the elders, and truancy amongst the younger, are the hope and reward of the missionaries. 3. Regina.- -This is j>robably the most successful In(Jusiriai scftooj in Western Canada. There are 130 j)ui»ils on the roll, with an average attendance of 111. Each year a number graduate, and one of the graduates is now on the staff. During the summer, many of the pupils, as well as many of the graduates, find employment amongst the white population, and earn from $12 to $35 a month. The religious interest in the school is always encouraging.

There are thirty-nine children in the school. A new building has been erected at a cost of !?3, ()()(>. improving the conditions of work. There is a neat church six miles from the school, but (luring the winter the .services were coiulucted in the Honie. 7. Birth'. — In this boarding school there are forty-tW(» children enrolled. The large stone building in which the work is done has been enlarged this yt'ar at a cost of $3,000. lioys and girls, large enough, seek service during the sumnuT months. The Indians have become more sympathetic. The leaven is .slowly working. rV. Jiird Tail. — This lU'serve is ministered to by the liev. J(»hn 3IcArthur, iu connection with two Home Mission Stations. They have twenty-five communi- cants, with an attendance at Sabbath services of thirty, and nine at weekly i»rayer meeting. The only Indian Woman's Foieign ^li.ssionary Society Auxiliary is at this station. They contiiiaited ia for Foreign Missions, and $12.15 for the Famine Fund. JO. Rolling Hirer. — Six or seven years ago the Indians riotously and defiantly mocked the missionary and refused to listen to his message. Now they meet regularly for woi-ship. and seven jtrofess faith in (Miri.st. They are building new and comfortable houses, and are becoming iudustiiwus. 11. Portmje la Prairie. — In the boarding school liiere are twenty-three children making good i)rogress. The Indian village three miles away and visited regularly, is by better homes, cleanly habits, industry, temjierance, attendance at wor.ship, etc., giving evidence of jirogress. The mission childien attend the town Siuulay school and get the benefit of books, ita])ers. etc., used in the school. 12. PipoHtone. — The missionary John Thunder, a native wori-er under the supervision of the neighbouring Home missionary, and !iji- a good influence over his people. There are nine comnuuiicants and they contriimted $30, for mission purposes. hi. Hurrieane Hills. — This is one of the ])laces where the work is imiuiired by the Government in encouraging the establishment of a Roman Catholic church in a Reserve already occujtied and with a population of less than 250. The chief and several of the head men protested, hut to no i)urpose. Resides regular Sabbath services by Mr. McKen/ie, Mrs. McKenzie docs much to help the women to a better way of living. She teaches a young men's Bible class, which has thirty- eight on the roll. She also teaches sewing, bread-umking, house-keeping, etc., all of which tend ui)ward. m t^.

After the destructive storms reported last year, the repairing!; of damajicd churches and the erection of new ones, is the prominent feature of this years report. How unselfislily, even heroically, the native Christians met the situati(»ii, appears in *!iis report. Mr. Gauld is in Canada on furlough. Dr. G. L. ^lacKay reports witu his usual courage and hopefulness. I. — Under Japanese Rule. — The year 1899, was marked by foreigners coming under Jajtanese administration here. No violent changes were introduced, hut there were change." liowever. (I). Our mission had five schools for children in the country and one at Tamsui. the latter we thought might develop into a middle .school. Government regulations were such that we closed them at once, and thus avoided needless trouble. The mission will not lose much thereby. (2). Taxes had to be paid on mission premises. (3). But then passports Avere not needed when travelling inland. Ignorant otficers blundered, but the Formosan Government did not obstruct Christian work. On the contrary, they seemed friendly disposed towards all our labourers. II. — New Stations. — North of ^w-/rtrt<7andnear the sea, there is a large Hsliing village called Goa-po. Quite a number of the people heard the Gospel at Au-lang and desired to be taught Christianity in their own village. One man put a small dwelling house at the disposal of a preacher for a few months. Then the converts erected a neat, substantial chapel. It was finished last December and at that date thirty were able to read the Gospel and sing praises to the Lord our God. Ai-liaii-kha, has a population of 1,463 Hak-kas. It is situated near the base of a mountain range, seven miles south-east from Au-lang. One Lhn Sin — who is versed in Chinese classics — visited a Christian near Chhan-liau and saw a hynui book on the table. He borrowed it, returned home and read till midnight. Tlie following day and night were given to the study of the wonderl'ul book ! At last, he said to his family, " I have found the true religion and wish you to accept it." He forthwith went about exhorting friends and neighbors to worship the true God. The result was that about 100 people gave Yeul40 for an old dwelling liouse, repaired it for Yen83, and fitted it for public worship at a cost of Yen64. On December 20th, three preachers and Koa Kau accompanied me to the 127 villa;,'.. We wore met by four well dres.sed Urotliers, the leader being Lim Sin — ami e.scorted through the streets to the plaee of worship. Fully 100 who professed faith in Jesu.s Chri.st wei-e waiting outside to welcome us. Thirty painted benches (uot yet dry) were in front of the building. We just entered, stood and sang our battle ery " I'm not ashamed to own my Lord, or to defend His cau.se." After extracting many teetli, a .short walk took us to Lim 8in's farm house and we were delighted with the large household. III. — City More Activk Tjian Country Churchks. — The Tsui-tnq-kha Christians contributed liberally, rei)aired their chapel, and at the end of tne year the :itten(hince was double that of 1898. The Toa-tui-tia believers, renovated iheir church and increased their membership. Tvk-chham has the largest church. Si.ice the opening crowds attended. iJut Bang-Kab is the most prosperous church in North Formosa ! The preacher there was once a fierce foe — a determined enemy of the cross. He is a valiant soldier now in the Christian ranks. I\^ — Century Memorial Church. — Believers in Jesus Christ, at all our stations contributed towanls erecting a Century Memorial Church at Sau-kak-cng. The following are some of the ct)ntributions :- In-khut-a, Yeno ; Tho-gu, Yen30 ; Tam-sui. Yen 50 ; Chhaii-liau. Yen.SO ; Sin-tiam, YenoO; Tek-chham, Yen87; Geh- !)ai, Yen3(J ; Bang-kali, Yen 100. Here is an object lesson. Bang-kah was helped aiul now helpx others. . V. — Oxford Collecje. —My application to the Formosan Government regarding Oxford College was granted and we closed the year with thirty-one students, and every month added to their devotediiess. VI. — Girls' School. — This Ijullding was used throughout the year for teaching Bible women and wives of students. VII. — MacKay Hospital. — There are many dispensaries and doctors in North Formosa, still we attended to l.:?;U new and 2.84S old patients. We value the ojiportunity this work gives for making known the only Healer of Souls. A^III. — Progress throughout the year 1899. Tek-chham, gave towards their church building Yei 1,120 00 Toa-thi-tia, gave for mission purposes 830 ((0 Bang-kah, gave for mission purposes 208 00 Sin-tiam, gave for mission purposes 250 00 Taui-tng-kha, gave for mission purposes 17a. 00 Ke-htug, gave for mission ]>urpo.ses (58 00 (feh-bai, gave for mission purposes 90 00 These are examples of contributions according to the strength of the Stations. We re-opened Tiong-lek chapel, it was closed all along since the JapiUiese came. We re-opened Loan-loan, work was not carried on there for several years. Outside Tek-chham city a new chapel was opened. Five (5) families in Tanisui gave up their idols and are studying the Bible, and are regular hearers. One hum'.vd and seventy-four (174) were ba|)tized. Fifty (50) idols and thirty (80) ancestral tablets were given up and placed in my museum. There were noted and triumithant deaths. Christians showed greater steadfastness. Preachers laboured with more devotion. Students were exceptionally good. I am not writing about this year 1900, but will state that to-day we are in the midst of progressive and aggressive work. The God of battles is with us. So we can .sing "Onward Christian Soldiers.'' " Looking unto Jesus." G. L. MacKAY. m Wm i \ '■' <^':: i' ]':'■' ' 1 1 128 FINANCIAL STATEMENT. TREASURER OF FORMOSA MISSION. For the Year Ending December 31st, 1899. 1. General Work.

Leslie, Miss. M. I. Macintosh, Miss J. I. Dow, M.B., Mr. and Mrs. M. MacKenzie. Station Work. — Work in all departments has been carried on largelx- along the lines laid down in former years. Regular preaching in the street chapel by the helpers or missionary in charge has been conducted daily all the year round. Visiting patients in the hospital wards and making known the good tidings to them has been kept up continuously. There has been a large iucr^abe in the quan- tity of Christian literature sold and many patients were diligently trying to learn to read. The attendance in chapel has varied from between twenty to thirty in the busy season to eighty or ninety in the slacker times. The spirit shown and the intere.st manifested were such as to encourage us in carrying on these branches of the work. Morning worship in Chinese for Christians and heathen was carried on by the missionaries for over six mouths as formerly. It was decided to divide the work latterly so as to enable those not yet acquainted with the most elementary truths to hear by themselves. In this way heathen and Christian now hear the truth the same hour in different rooms. The same method ha.s been adopted in the afternoon .services on the Lord's Day and thus far it has worked well in each case. A better opportunity is thus afforded of seeking to win for Christ those who arc yet darkened idolaters, while our Christians are helped to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. Chinese services have been conducted by the missionaries on the forenoon and afternoon of each Lord's Day, and by the natives on Sal>bath and Wednesday evenings. The Sacrament of Barcism was administered three times and that of the Lord's Supper obsei'ved twice during the year, fourteen men and three women were carefully examined, and, having finished their probationary period, were received into full membership on their profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The names of eight men and three women were added to our list of catechumens. wmi ': ■ ■ ' i% ■J!' i. f r • r k . tr %my- V i. . ■ 1 \ '1 1 1- 1 ' t -1^ 130 Station Claaaes. — Two claHses for the instructiou of catechumens and enquirers were held, the first from February 14-22 ; the second from November 23-27. Twenty-five men attended on each occasion and ten villages were represented. Four and three classes respectively were instructed by the missionaries and Chris- tian teachers from two catechisms, the Gospel of John and the Acts of the Apostles. At the evening meetings addresses were given on " Jacob," " Joseph," " Joshua," "Adam and Christ," "The Church of Christ," "Christian giving," and "Sabbath Observance. ' ' A stereopticon exhibition of Scripture scenes open to all was also given and was well attended by the members of the classes and the towns peopU'. The transition from support by mission funds to self support was made at the February class and seemed to meet with the approval of the senior Christians. Younger men and some who are very poor, complained of the change at first, but we are satisfied that it is a step in the right direction and will gradually meet witli more cordial approval on the part of all our Christians. Helpers. — The American Presbyterian Mission has again favoured us by send- ing two helpers as in by-gone years. These brethren rendered faithful service and cheerfully undertook the duties assigned to them. The feeling has gradually grown upon us that some of the converts from our own field may with advantag*' be used in this work now, and the present seems an opportune time for making this change, Our heartiest thanks are due to our American brethren for the aid so readily given, and to Mr. Li the mission owes a debt of gratitude for seven years devoted service, rendered in an unostentatious and Christ-like spirit. Field Work. — An attempt has been made this year to begin the systematic visita- tion of certain districts in the vicinity of some of out oitstatious. With this in view Mr. McKenzie, accompanied by a Christian helper visited ninety villages in the spring. By staying at the outstations it was possible to have meetings with the Christians each night and to itinerate during the day. An average of three villages was thus overtaken in one day, and some thousands of persons brought within the hearing of the Gospel. While the people in a few cases were quite apathetic, and some prepared to be hostile, the workers were kindly received generally, and many per- sons listened attentively to the truth and conversed readily when opportunity was given them. To yield results this work would require to be followed up by repeated visits from the missionary and the native helpers. Were this done, many persons as yet unreached might be won for Christ. All the districts in which we have Christians or enquirers were frequently visited during the year. Four of the native brethren assisted the Hsin Chen brethren at the annual fair in Hsun Hsien, and three of these also gave valuable help at the November fair in Ch'u Wang. New Chapel. — Work was Carried on in the building which has been used as chapel for eight years till the month of May. On the completion of the new build- ing in that month the old was abandoned and daily preaching conducted in the new. It is 42 x 19 feet, and well adapted for our work, being under the same roof as the dispensary, as was the case with the former one. The mission is indebted to the pastor and people of Crescent St. Church, Montreal, for the funds with which this and other buildings have been put up. Health. — Mrs. MacKenzie suffered from a severe attack of illness in the spring and for a time it seemed as if she might have to return to Canada. It was decided that she should spend the summer at Pei Tai Ho and through the goodness of God she has returned almost completely restored. Dr. Dow, Miss Macintosh and Dr. Leslie also spent a few mouths at the same place and returned greatly invigorated to their work. Those who remained on the field were blessed with good health throughout. Drought. — There has been no rain fall in Honan this year and as a result of this an entire failure of some crops. Appeals for help are already coming in, but it Inu, not been thought advisable to undertake relief work of any kind as yet. Ere the spring of next year sets in it is to be feared that multitudes will suffer for lack of the barest necessities of life. Our station class has been affected by this cause and measures of some kind may be necessary to give temporary aid to the most needy heathen and Christians. 131 Change. — By appointment of Presbytery at last annual meeting, Mr. (irant left this station in February to begin work in the Hsiu (.'hen district. This has left the station with but one pastor to carry on the increasing work at the central and outstations. Unless provision is made in some form for more assistance certain departments of the work must for a time sutler. Outlook, — It is with devout gratitude to God we record the fact that the work has gone on uninterruptedly for another year. Our sister mission of the American Board in Shantung have had the grief of seeing a deliberate attempt made to destroy the work which they have so faithfully and perseveringly striven for twenty years to build uj). Reports from the seat of trouble in the south in spring and the long continued drought in thb autumn, caused much uneasiness among the people generally, but our work was in no way interfered with. There is con- tinued evidence of a friendly spirit towards us among the people. Visits to the compound by the loca' and other officials were made during the year and they have responded to any call made on them for aid. Four of those recorded this year are natives of Ch'u Wang and others seem partly interested. The attendance in the chapel at the annual fair in November was very large, the preaching by our native Christians thoroughly evangelical and the interest manifested as encouraging as has been seen thus far in Ch'u Wang. The number of persons who understand that Christ and Christianity are indispensable to China's regeneration is continually increasing, and so too the numberof those who are thoroughly convinced that faith in Christ as a Saviour is their duty, but who are meantime deterred through lack of courage from facing the obloquy consequent on the open acknowledgment of the Christian religion. Frequent conversation with our native Christians convinces us that there are those among them who are understanding the true nature of the Gospel of Christ more clearly year by year, and who desire to have their lives fully controlled by its teachings. It is pleasant to observe evidence of the growth in some men too, of the Christian fraternal spirit, and to know that it is manifesting itself in practical form. Early in the year the carejess observance of the Sabbath in certain districts caused us a good deal of anxiety but the impression made by tlie confession of these men themselves towards the close of the year is that they have resolved to observe the day of God more carefully and use it for its divinely instituted purposes. The auspicious signs are increasing and we enter on tht? new decade believing that a time to favour Honan is dawning, and that Christ will ere long be formed in an ever-increasing number of "hearts as the hope of glory, while men will see the K.ngdom, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, extending in many parts of Honan and neighbouring provinces. 'fi' i 'I I OUT8TATIONS. {Ill connection With Cli'u Wang.) i Shlh P'an. — The change to self support in the station classes seemed to dampen the ardor of one or two men there, and opi)osition of friends has caused one nuin to go back to idolatry. Three of the catechumens have been baptized, one exam- ined but not yet accepted for baptism, and one additional recorded. Their jioverty caused some to imagine that Sabbath observance was not incumbent upon them, but latterly their attitude has been more satisfactor\'. Ton Kung. — The little chapel, referred to as prosi)ective in last year's report, was completed and ready for services in May. It is a very plain Chinese building, capable of seating about forty persons, and was opened with little del)t to be removed. A healthy spirit pervades the little Christian community. One of their number, a pedlar by profession, makes good use of the many opportunities afforded liim while pursuing his daily calling to declare the good tidings, and considerable numbers hear the Gospel through him annually. The cause of Christ should have steady progress in this district. Fu-en. — The leac'^r of the little church in this village had a new house erected during the year and he has generously placed part o^ it at the disposal of the f 'MiM'i 132 :--i Christians for evening and Lord's Day meetings. Being invited to aid for a fow weeks in the street chapel in Ch'u Wang he hesitated about cok ing until arntngc- ments could he made wherehy it was reaHonahly certain that the cause of Christ would not suffer in his al)sence. This took place at a time when he was sufleriiifj; from the lack of the necessaries of life. Three men have been baptized from this village during tlie year. Hsin Tx'un. — Death has this year taken away the wife and one of the daughters of Wang Fu Lin, whose death was announced in last year's report. A ba'^kslidiuf; Protestant has rented premises to the Romanists and they have placed a pervert from the Hsin Chen region there as teacher. Our Christian leader is more than a matcii for him in candid reasoning and skilful argumentation and we do not expect that any will go over to Rome from conviction. Three persons were baptized from this village during the year and two of the catechumens have removed to Chan;>; Te Fu. For years there have l)€en somewhat untoward circumstances in tlii.s village, but we still cherish the hope that the Church of Christ is going to grow and prosjier there. Hui Liitif/. — The interest in Christian matters grows slowly in this town, the members are poor and busily engaged all the year around in the struggle for exist- ence. The hostile attitude of their friends is affecting some too. Appearances seem to indicate that the women are more courageous than the men, and are mak- ing in some cases more progress in Scripture knowledge. Two persons have been recorded as catechumens and one baptized this year. woman's work. {Ch'u Wang.) Work among the women has been steadily carried on throughout the year. During the summer months Mi-s. McClure kindly took charge of the Sabbath and week-day classes, so that in no branch has the work fallen behind. The good seed of the Kingdom has been sown, and although some of it may have fallen upon stoney places or by the wayside, yet we believe that much has fallen into good ground, wliich shall bear fruit even if it be " after many days." Station Work. — Some eight or nine women have attended public worshii) regularly on Sabbath mornings. The usual Bible Class met in the afternoons in the woman's chapel. In all forty-eight meetings have been held with an average attendance of twelve, being an increase of three over that of last year. A class taught by Mrs. MacKenzie began in October with five girls, four of whom came regularly twice a week to learn characters, and on Sabbath afternoon for a Bible lesson. They have read the first three chapters of Matthew's Gospel, three chapters of the "Peep of Day," half through the catechism, and several hymns. The brightest girl was- manned about a month ago, but has been back several times, and always comes in to learn a little more. Dr. Dow has conducted a Sabbath School class for little girls. Average atten- dance, seven. The girls are bright and learn quickly. No inducement whatever has been offered to these children but they seem to take a delight in coming, and instances have come under our notice of some of the lessons they have learned being taught to their elders at home. Sixty-three week-day meetings have been held throughout the year for wom<'n, with an attendance averaging ten. At one of these meetings Wen Chih Hsing medical assistant, gave an address on the sin of foot-binding, which was much appreciated by the women, but none h 'e as yet had the courage to unbind. Two other afternoons were devoted to quilting coverlets to be used by the women who come in from the out villages to attend our station classes. Station Clauses. — A small class was hold in March with four women in attend- ance, all from Hui Lung, a market town distant about ten miles. One of their ut person she met what they were. Two of the other women were already on prol)ation, while the fourth, who was here for the first time, had to begin at the first rudiments of the doctrine. In October a trip to Hni Lung was planned, but as wild rumours, occasioned by the long-continued drouth and consequent failure of the crops, were rilj everywhere, at the request of the Christians themselves the project was abandoned, and a circular letter issued instead, inviting all the women who were interested to come to Ch'u Wang to study. In response to this invita- tion two only could make it convenient to come, and they remained but a short time. Some weeks later, on a Sabbath morning, four other women arrived from tiie same place in time for the morning .service, but as the times were hard and money none too plentiful, they only .stayed three and-a-half days. It nuist be remembered that since the beginning of the year the Mission supplies fuel, light and bedding only, the members of these classes supplying their own food. Three women, two of whom reside in Ch'u Wang, have been recorded as catechumens, and two were baptized during the year. We are pleased to note that more literature has been sold this year to women than in ar.y previous year. During the annual tenth month fair hundreds of women were received, and amongst tliem we had not a few interested listeners. I'isits Paid in Town. — Through the tireless energy and zeal of Mrs. Chang many doors have been opened in Ch'u Wang. Forty-four visits have been made wltliiu the past eleven months, and we are continually hearing of others who would like to have us go and sit awhile in their homes. Some barely tolerated us and were glad when we rose to go, but the majority seemed pleased to listen while wc told them of a Saviour's love. Village Work. — As in last report we have nothing of particular interest or encouragement to tell. Some eighteen visits have been paid to neighbouring villages, and in this way the people are becoming better acquainted with us and an opportunity is thus afforded them of hearing the Gospel message. One case we will remember, that of a woman who had been trying to lay up merit by chanting vei-ses and doing good work, but who, on hearing the Gospel was inclined to listen and welcomed us to her home frequently ; she had also learned a hymn and a form of prayer. A few weeks ago we heard that this woman had been called to give in her account, but whether she died trusting in Jesus or still clinging to her idols we know not. Truly "the King's business requireth haste," and it behooves us to work while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work. Medical Work. — The record of medical work covers only six and one-half months, dispensary having been closed from the beginning of the .Mission year (December 1st) until the middle of January and again duiing the four summer months. Number of patients treated 601 " treatments • • • • 2,30() *' operations .... 20 " inpatients 40 Average stay in the hcspital — fifteen days. • ■ I ■ An effort was made to make the Gospel known to patients in the wards and out-patients, but at the close of the year no outstanding ca.ses can be pointed tofts having savingly accepted it. It J 1. i:u MKDICAL woKK. {i'liUi IVung.) The medical work has heeu carried on uninterruptedly tlirougiiout the year. Tlie increase in tlie number of consultations, as comi)ared with last year, is j)artly accounted for by the fact tliat the women were treated in the men's ilispensary during the time the women's hospital was closed for summer holidays. Not only is there no abatement in the confidence of the people in our methods of treatment, but rather a growing confidence in us is gradually widening our sphere of influence. Cases of accident are now frequently brought to us at once for treat- ment, instead of, as used to be the rule, waiting for several days to see what tlie native doctor could do. Notably we have thus had the opportunity to treat two cases of fracture with very gratifying residts. Some whom we might expect to hold aloof from us and our work have come for treatment, one the son of a district magistrate two hiuidred miles off, came for treatment for a disease which requirt'd an operation under chloroform, but he submitted to the ordeal with apparently no fear, our local oflicial himself witnessing the operation. Among the many sad cases brought to us were two men in the prime of life. who, having been sent in their oflicial capacity to make some arrests, wiu'c taken into an ambush, overpowered, and both men had both ankles hacked to the bom- from behind, severing the large tendon and the other tissues. It was not till four days after they were brought to the hospital, when the horrible wounds were found foul and stinking and alive with maggots. One of them eventually died from blood i)oisoning. The wounds of the other healed gradually, but he will necessarily be more or less of a cripple for life. The work was moved into the new dispensary in June, and it is with a full heart we note the great improvement in our accommodation, for which we arc indebted to the pa-stor and people of Crescent St. Church, Montreal. Thanks are due to Dr. Leslie for help on many occasions. The medical assistants have continued to render faithful service. Total operations 249 New patients 4,395 Old patients 12,036 Total consultations 16,43f H8IN CHEN STATION. {Prefecture of Wei Hui.) Members. — Dr. William and Mrs. Malcolm, Rev. Jas. A. and Mrs. Slimon, Rov Robt. A. Mitchell, Rev. W. H. Grant. At this station the regular Chinese morning prayers for both men and women, hospital and dispensary work and preaching to the patients have been carried on daily during the year ; while weekly prayer meeting and the Lord's Day services have been regularly conducted by the missionaries at the station. A new depar- ture has been made this year in instituting a special class, conducted daily by the doctor in the hospital compound, for instructing patients in elementary Gospel truths, and is meeting with considerable encouragement. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper were observed twice during the year ; the names of six men and two women have been added to the roll as catechumens, while three men who have completed their year of probation as cptechumens and suc- cessfully passed their examination in Christian doctrine have been admitted to Church membership. A station class for men met in the month of February with an attendance of ten. , A larger amount of time has beon spent by the pastors in preaching tours throughout the field than in any previous year. All the large cities in the district ,i^«m-mmi 135 have been visited at least once during the year, and some of them several tiniss : the chief fairs held in the several cities were attended by some one or other of the pastors, and afforded u good medium for meeting the people from many parts and thuH spreading the Gospel by means of the spoken and printed Word. Preaching and selling literature to students was carried on at Wei Hui Fu (luring the progress of the examinations held there twice a year. The sale of Christian literature has been encouragingly large, and the attitude of the people towards us has in general been friendly, but to Qospel truth, as usual, sadly indifferent ; to this, however, there have been several bright excep- tions, of whom we expect to hear and see more from year to year. Mr. Mitchell spent two months' holiday at the coast, the remainder of the Htatr remaining inland all summer. MEDICAL WORK. (Hfiin Chen.) There has been a great falling off in treatments, both of hospital and dispen- .sary patients, over previous years. The cause is not so easy to ascertain. The harvest, we think, has been the poorest and the season the driest in twenty-two years, giving rise to many evil stories about the foreigners, probably the chief one being that the foreigners had agents going about the country poisoning wells. These stories were, however, more rife at a distance than in our own town. The society of the " Confederates" is also very strong this year all over the country, and is very much opposed to foreigners ; besides, food is very dear away from home. These are, no doubt, some of the reasons why the attendance has been comparatively small this year. The total number of treatments is 8,108, including 130 surgical operations. It is quite noticeable that with the drought there has been almost an entire absence of malaria in the field, although dysentry and cholera have not been wanting. The health of the station has been good except that of Mrs. Sliramon, who, during midsummer, suffered from a very severe attack of dysentery, from which she was Providentially spared to us. It might be said that the custom of allowing patients to give presents to the hospital has been stopped and now money gifts only are received. A considerable sum has thus been received, and we hope that as the custom becomes estab- lished, there will be a better showing of receipts next year. CHANG TE STATION. {Pfirfectvml City.) Members. — Mr. and Mrs. J. Goforth, Rev. J. Menzies, M.D., and Mrs. Meuzies, Rev. D. MacGillivray, Rev. J. Griffith, Miss M. A. Pyke, Miss Margaret 8. Wallace, M.D. As another year closes and we try to sum up the results which to human sight seems so small, we are forcibly reminded that though we may plant and though we may water, yet God alone can give the increase. "Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." During the eleven months which this report covers the Gospel has been faithfully and aggressively preached in this city and surrounding country, still, only twenty-six have been baptized on profes- sion of their faith and twenty-seven others have been accepted as catechumens. During the greater part of the year we enjoyed immunity from any disturbing rumours or any seeming hostility, but after the harvest had turned out a partial failure and an epidemic of cholera had swept off many people, we were blamed to account for the many deaths, and well-poisoning was laid to our charge. These .stories spread like wild-fire over the whole country. It was an anxious time for I , 1 -i. .Mi ■ (■ ^' 136 the C'lu'iBtiaiiM. for they were looked iipon as our ngentH in the evil work. For u time it l)ecttine uiisafo to Heiul men out on UmrH, then no Hooner had tlic terror of well-poiHoninx diey a loral rel)ellion. The otHcialH were very kind, and railed on us, promising pro- teetion, and stationing a l>ody of soldiers near the compound. We an? glad, however, to say that the rel»olliou was neither anti-Christian nor anti-foreign, fur no sooner had the leader of the rebellion heard that we were somewhat anxious than he sent a nicely worded letter telling us not to be afVaid and saying that no evil was intended us. The above causes all combined to hinder etl'ective work during the autumn. No men's station class was attempted and the women's was only attended by a few near by, the one exception was the chapel work which was rather helped than otherwise by outside rumours. Wo had hopeful cases almost every day and a great many visitors were received in our study. During building operations, Mr. Menzies each morning had the workmen all come to u (iospel service. The results were such as to encourage this kind of work. in some parts Mr. MactJilli- idolatrous fair as etl'ictive a Field Work-. — The whole tield has been gone over once, and several times, either by the foreign missionaries or native helpers, vray with several native brethren spent seventeen days at a great in the Hsi Hsien district ; it was hoped that we might find it preaching place as at the annual Hsun Jlsien fair. They found, however, that owing to the lack of inn accommodation in the vicinity of the temple, few of the pilgrims could be induced to listen any length of time. At the city of Wu An Mr. Wang, the brass founder, has been faithfully testi- fying. We spent thirteen days there and in a neighbouring town with encour- aging results. Mr. Chu, a well-to-do enquirer, has promised us the use of a large room near the centre of the city. The native helpers have also visited the city several times during the year. We have given four days to P'eng Ch'eng where the work seems to be growing in hopefulness, the native brethren have also been there several times ; the Christians have been more enthusiastic and several have been induced to join with them. We are strongly impressed with the advantages for spreading a knowledge of the Gospel from such a busy and populous centre ; a street chapel ought to be opened to reach the many who throng the town. At present the Christian's meet at Mrs. Yang's home, but outsiders cannot be taken there. The Christians at Hung Hua T'un have not made such progress, although Chang T'ung Te has been earnestly bearing testimony and there are indications that his persecuting elder brother is yielding to the truth. His neighbours too are more friendly disposed. Chang Tien centre gives evidence of the Holy Spirit's power — a year ago Li Ming, the ex-military official, had just broken with idols but now there are four homes from which false gods have been banished, and from ten to twenty men who believe. liast summer the heathen neighboui-s, alarmed at the ravages of the locusts, sought to appease the local diety with a theatrical. Li Ming went out before the theatre and publicly declared "Your gods cannot help you, the only true and almiglity God whom I serve can alone help us. I have asked Him to save my grain and He will do it.'' His faith was rewai-ded, for the locusts devoured the grain on every side, even to within a row of his, and then passed on, leaving his untouched. Mr. Li is also making an excellent impression on some of his relatives in other villages. Ta Han, where the work seemed so hopeful at the end of last year, is in the midst of the disturbed district ; the fear of man seems to be a snare, for no additions have been made to the list of inquirers. Mr. MacGillivray spent five days there and preached in eleven of the surrounding villages; repeated visits have also been made by the helpers. Mr. Ma, the leader, who was baptized this year, seems to be as earnest as ever. Ts'ai Yuan gives promise of reviving again since the Romish invasion has failed ; a man of considerable promise has recently been accepted as a catechumen from there. Ta Kwan Chwang continues its development and shows signs of real life ; we spent seven days with the Christians there, and with them preached the Gospel in wmm mmt I'M liitic of the a(ljac(>i)t villagcH.

At a villaure in the T'an^ Vin district where a family had hut recently forsaken idolatry, threatH had been made to comj;')l payment of the cus- tomary theatrical dues. Two of the native brethren were sent there on the day of the theatrical to preach and sell books as well aH to encourage the Christians, hut the villagers seized and beat them, fastening their hamls behind their haeks uiul tied them up to trees, besides they snuisheil their table and ehairs and tore all their books to pie(;es. The brethren thought on the words of Jesus and rejoiced and said to their persecutors ''8lnce you havu't tied our tongues we will continue to testify.'" At sundown they were relea.sed and told to leave the place. Two other Christians hearing of the trouble hiiHtened to their relief during the night. They held their ground next day ; their Hibles were destroyed but they used their hymn hooks, and sung and testified. Moping that the villagerH would repent of tiicir unlawful acts, we sent a helper to inform them of our treaty rights and to explain the Gospel to them, but they would not pay any heed and continued to ul)use the Christians ; we iufonhed the olHcials and then the persecutors became alarmed ami sent representatives begging us not to press the case, they on their piirt promising to pay for everything ie C'laHM.

This year will be rneraorable iu ludia, on account of the terrihlo famine, involving over twenty millions of people iu absolute want, and twenty millions more in unusual scarcity. The famine of 1897, resulted in the ingathering of many children, who are now under Christian iustruction. The success of the efforts then ])ut forth cause the missionaries to be more than ever eager to fold as many of the lambs as can be secured. One of the providential purposes of this terrible visitation is thus evident, it is the silver lining to the cloud. The Church has sent out in all to this mission sixty-one mission workers. Of the men fifteen were ordained and two of these were medical missionaries. All were maiTied. Of the twenty-nine lady^ missionuries sont out five were fully (jualified doctors. Of the men six have left, three are at home on furlough, two are on sick leave, and six are at work in the field. Of the lady missionaries eleven have left the work, two married missionaries in the field, three are at home on sick leave, three on furlough, and ten are at work to-day. Miss Harris and the Messrs. Murray, Builder and Thompson have been called to higher service. Misses Beatty, McWilliams, Dougan and Mr. Jamieson have been obliged to retire from ill health. In all statims Venacular Schools and evangelistic work have been carried on. In all but Amkhut regular congregations have been orgs»nized. Medical work has been carried on under Dr. Woods, at IJjjain ; Dr. Oliver, atlndore ; Mr. McKellar, at Neemuch ; Dr. O'Hara, at Dhar. Anglo- Venacular Schools have been carried on at Mhow, Uj.jaiu and Neemuch ; and at Indore we have a High school, Normal school and the college. The famine of 1897 brought in children to Neemuch, Kutlam, Indove, Mhow, Dhar, and in all of these stations, various forms of industrial work are being carried on. In Ujjain Miss Jamieson has carried on her Asylum for the Blind, and Dr. Woods his Leper Asylum. Miss Sinclair has a large Boarding School for girls at Indore, with at the close of the year about 100 inmates, of whom the larger part are famine waifs. Mrs. Johory is also carrying on at Indore a Girls Industrial and Widows' Home in which are from fifty to sixty girls. At Rutlam there is the Mi.ssion Press in which are printed the native paper Gyan Patrika, an English paper The Indian Standard, the mission reports, etc. In Mhow the care of the Presbyterian soldiers devolves upon the missionai-y iu charge. In all the reports there is a recognition of the need of more workers to meet the growing oppoi'tuuities of their mission work and all speak of the great help the gifts from Canada have been to them in the work. Book stores have been started at Neemuch and Mhow, where Christian literature is .sold and w'here Evangelistic services are held from time to time. INDORK (Pop. 92,000). High School. — Mr. Ledingham reports 287 in the High School, with an average attendance of over eighty per cent., and sixteen in the College Department proper. He indicates the need of a stronger staff, more money, and a hostel for students for the better development of the work. Y.M.C.A. — It continues to do good work. There is a Sabbath afternoon class, especially for the Christian members, and a general meeting on Fridays. Churches. — The native church is not so prosperous as we could wish, and the chief Sabbath school, work has been carried on in connection with the college. Girls^ Industriaf Home. — There are fifty-five girls iu Mr. Johory's Industrial 'i'..l i '^•i' '■■ -i 142 • Home, thirty-three supported by the Famine Fund, and twenty by the congrej^a- tion. The girls are taught weaving, sewing, kuiting, hvce-making, etc., and get sale for all they make. The spiritual results of this school have been most encouraging, and already a number of useful workers have been developed in it. Great credit is due to Mr. and especially Mrs. Johory who have carried on this Home without salary for the past seven yaars. Boys^ Industrial Home. — The Boy's Industrial Home contains fifty boys who were brought in from the famine of 1897. All are taught some trade and tlic Home is in a fair way to becoming self-.supporting. Mr. and Mrs. Crossette have been in charge and have done excellent work. Here too a number of the boys have become earnest followers of Christ. Boarding School. — Miss Sinclair reports that four girls have given up their studies in Venacular, and whilst continuing their English lessons are dieting as teachers to the lower classes. One girl intends to try the matriculation examina- tion of Calcutta University this year. The Y.M.C.A. meetings are continued regularly by the girls and a subscription sent to the Sabbathu Leper Asylum. Zenanas. — Mias White has given up the Mohulla work amongst the ChristianK for the time being as the attendance for various causes was unsatisfactory. She reports thirty Zenanas in the camp and invitations to many more. The lack of efficient native helpers is a great drawback to the work. Day School. — Miss White has fifty-seven in her camp day school. This school has lai'gely grown out of her Zenana work. Tulisbai, one of Mrs. Johory's Industrial Home girls is doing good work in this school, both on Sabbath and week day. She has also been keeping up the Normal School lectures. Miss Grier reports 134 girls on the roll of her Marathi Brahman School in the city. The Hindu festivals which sometimes last a whole week, are a great draw- back to her work. Only slates and pencils are provided for the pupils. Nearly all buy their own books and many bring their own pencils. The staff consists of three Christian teachers and three non-Christian. In her Pinjari Bakal School for Hindu speaking girls, the average attendance is fifty-eight. She has one non-Christian and two Christian teachers. She says "We need more teachers and larger premises." Miss Grier also points out that in her three schools she has only four Mohammedan girls present, two of whom are very small and two are there just long enough to read through the first Hindi book. In the third or Mulhar Gauj School the attendance has been so unsatisfactory that for the last two months it has been closed. This was largely caused by an epidemic of small-pox. In all three schools the Sunday school work is carried on with an encouraging measure of success. Miss Grier reports that as she has no Bible woman, she has not been able to keep up the Zenana visiting, much to her own sorrow, except in the case of seven houses. Hospital. — Miss Oliver, in charge of the Hospital at ludore, reports the chief difficulty in the work has been the want of trained workers, and the difficulty of securing young Christian women to train as nurses. This year a training class has been begun. In 1899 the in-patients numbered 219, and the out-patients 5,355. A pleasing indication of the hospiui' vork 's that whilst in 1891 there was only one birth in the Hospital, in 1899 there have been twenty-three. Fees are regularly charged where the patients are able to pay them, but none are kept from treat- ment for the want of money. Few baptized converts can be reported, but, it is believed that many have thus been led to know Christ who.se names have not, and will not be entered on any earthly communion roll. MHOW. (Pop. 30,000.) U'.. - i i : The work about Mhow is largely of an Evangelistic character, in the Canton- ment and in many villages near it. Manpur, Barwai and Parlia, are the three out-stations connected with this centre. One Casto, in Nimar seemed very mucli interested in Christian truth and some of them have became Christians. 0Pm^ ' , . ^ ■ , . „ . 143 .' ■ Schools. — The High School department has been closed and only Christian teachers are employed in the Anglo-Venacular School. The branch school in the Cavalry Line for the children of the servants has continued to be encouraging. Some of its pupils have become associate members of the Christian Endeavour Society. Orphanage. — They have fifty boys in the orphanage in Mhow, all famine waifs. These go to school for two and half hours each day and spend a large part of their time in weaving Persian rugs, for which there seems to be a large demand and it is expected that this will aftbrd profitable employment to the native Christians also. Sabbath School. — In their large central Sabbath school from three to four hundred attend. Chaplaincy. — The chaplaincy has been carried on by Dr. Pmith, and latterly by Mr. Russell and Mr. Taylor. They have in Mhow — two mission buildings — a boys school and church, and a girls school, both considered satisfactory for their work. Womeii's Work. — In the women's work Miss Leyden reports that in her Mhow Bazaar School she has given up the use of non-Chi-istiaii teachers or calling women and though at first the results were dis("ouraging, the school is now as prosperous as ever. For several months she held a training class for the Christian workers, and also two classes a week for heathen women. Miss Weir worked in Mhow during the past five months. Ten villages have been regularly visited with an average of thirty people present per day. The Zenana work in the camp has been hindered through the harmful influence of a Bible woman formerly employed and found unworthy. Reliable and efficient workers are here also urgently needed. NEKMUCH. (Pop. Cantonment 15,291, OM Neemuch 6,309.) Jawad and Mandsaur are the only two stations where work has been opened up in addition to Neemuch. The Anglo-Venacular school is curried on in Neemuch Cantonment, and a Venacular school in Jawad and Daghana. Much time is given to the Evangelistic work by touring during the cold season, and from the station as a centre at other times. Twenty-nine have been baptized since the inauguration of this work. Some have gone elsewhere seeking work, some for otlier causes, and some have apostalized. Of the present congregation, some are in domestic service, some in the railway employ, but most are in the service of the mission as teachers, etc. The hopeless outlook in resx)ect to subsistence in native States is a serious obstacle to Christian work. The church services are conducted by the missionary assisted by the elders and the catechists. The congregation supports a catechist, and had gathered a sum of money for a church, but this ha.s l)een expended to meet the crying want of the sufferers in this famine. A silent change is taking place in the thought of the community regarding some funda- mental truths. WomeiVs Work. — Two small but suitable school buildings have been erected in old Neemuch. The orphanage for girls was started in the famine of two years ago and efforts are being made now to start a Women's Rescue Home. Medical. — Miss Dr. McKeilar complains of the difficulty of getting satisfactory lieipers in the medical work. She has had to train her own. One is now completing a course in the Medical School at Ludhiana. Last year there were 89,000 treatments. A large number, latterly, being from the famine.

Schools. — Miss Campbell reports that in March, 1899, Miss Landon came to assist her. The school in old Neemuch was so unsatisfactory that it had latterly to be closed.

The Chainar school (low Caste leather workers) is also encouraging. Four Sunday schools are held every Sabbath. A meeting is held every mouth by the workers for comparing notes, l)rayer and plans for the next month. The orphanage, however, has been Miss Campbell's special care during tin- year, and has taken up a large part of her time and strength. Measles, chicken- pox, small-i)ox, all attacked the children. There are sixty-one in the orphanagi", and they are living in the Compound where their house is. The larger girls aikc care of the smaller ones and as there are only fifteen of the former, and they have had so much work to do, but little industrial work has been done beyotid carinj> for their immediate wants. The children have been specially helpful in connection with the feeding of the large number of famine sufferers. Miss Landon rei)orts in one school forty girls on the roll. In another twenty- two and in a third forty-three. Two of them are under good Christian teachers and have proveil satisfactory. The third has not been as fortunate, and has not succeeded as well. Miss Landon lias also undertaken Zenana work in both the city and the camp, and reports many interested listeners and new houses opened to them. Owing to the famine the hearts of the people seem to be more open to conviction. She has a nu)nthly mcvuing also for the workers and says "Had we more workers we might enlarge the Held," i RUTLAM.

Bright hopes were blighted by the organization of a new Rociety amongHt the Chineae, called the "Emperor Protective Hociety." It spread like wildlire over the continent, reaching every coterie of Chinese, and inflaming their enthuHiasm for the restoration of the Chinese Emperor and the introduction of sweeping reforms in China, as well as restoring Confucianism and ancestral worship to its supremacy aH the religion of the Empire. The society has made a radical departure from Chinese custom, in holding meetings every Sabbath Day in halls with pulpit and platform, with patriotic songs and addresses. The effect has been a smaller attendance at Gospel services on the Sabbath Day. The evening schools, however, have increased in attendance. 1. Schools. — Victoria. School was held on 248 evenings. Total attendance 11,812 Average per night 47 Vancouver. — Total attendance, 6,905. An average of 28 on 244 evenings. 2.

Citiint'iit'H ami Ifiiii'rary, — Our usual work ninon^ tlu' (Miiuese at the ciinn(>ric> ou the Krascr River was continued last siuisoii. Sonic friends in Stevcstou, wliidi is the ;;reat center, rented a JapancHc boat buihler's hoUHU as a residence for uur missionaries. The front part we utilized as a reading room for while lishernu-ii ttud others. Our kitchen and dornntory were in the seamy lean-too in the n-ar. Among the Chinese Wi* found kindly recognitions and a readiness to hear our nies- Hage on the part of the nuijority. We always m -et with sonu' who are opposed or who refuse to hear, but very few who do not treat tis with reaHonal)le respect. Sonu' seemed to be not far from the Kingdom and very sympathetic towards the truth, Itut none at thecuiniK^ries professed to '' repent and believe " us the result wf our preaching and visiting there. In Se|ttember, Mr. Ng and Mr. Winchester visited the Kootenays ami O'Kana- gan Valley. At Vernon. Revelstoke, Nakusp, Nelson, Trail and Hossland, \vc l)reacheil in stores, laundries or wherever opportunity ottered. .Mr. Winchester writes : — "Two or three Heemed to turn from their idoU t*» serve the living (Jod as a result of our visit, but formal i)role,ssion of faith is a dilli- cult task. I'ublic opinion is very strong where independence of thought has neve'' been known. Xo inconsiderable part of our work is the slow and invisilile proces of iiiMueiicing iiulividual conviction, and through units gradually changing collective sentiment. The sentiments of the Chinese are changing, and many in China to-day •who formerly resided in Canada are more accessible to the missionary than thcv could have l»cen without their experience in some mission in this country. Thcic are six of our cliurch members in China uow, and many others who, although not church mcmlu'rs, believe the Scriptures to be true, and in some cases, a.s mission- aries in Canton report, districts in China have been opened by their influence." (). LvjiiTx. — Only one visit was made to theLepe'son J)arcy Island in 1S!(!». The ditHculties and expense attending such visits, thoug.. constituting a not incon- siderable hindrancie, are still less serious than the time. One who died in 1895* was for some time i>retending to be or was symi)athetic with the truth, but afterwards very energ<'tically told the missionary that he had done what he told him— had repente(i of liis sins, believed in the Lord Jesus, and i)rayed to God that he might be made whole, and notwitkstanding this he said, '*I have got worse and worse and am nearly dead. Your Je.sus doesn't hear or doesn't care or isn't able t(» help iiic when I i)ray to Him ; therefore I don't want to hear any more about Him.", How- ever, at the next visit he was much hiunbled and penitent, and at the last visit he was more mellowed, and after some tender conversation with him, the poor fellow"> face swollen and pitted and black beyond all resemblance to the human counten- ance, with great emotion said, " Pastor, T do believe in .Jesus and pray to Him." "N'ery soon after that he was not. None of the others seemed to maniiest the slight- est interest in the messivge. One would not listen to us at all. Poor souls ! i-i \\ 7. rnion Mine.-<. — There is no more perplexing problem than that presented l)y the i)eculiar conditions obtaining at Union Mines, Provincial legislation i)rohibit- ing the Chinese from working underground, though contested by the Union Colliery Co., had the effect of almost depopulating the Chinese town at the mines. Two or three hundred renmined out of a former population of fourteen hundred. Some of tho.se who remained did so because they could not do otherwise. The Provincial Act having been disallowed by the Dominion Government, the Colliery Company re-engaged large numbers of Chinese for underground work. Work was just 168 t nict'ly comnu'iu'iMl wlioii tlii> Provincial (iovcrninmt to«»k ii ii«>\v incthtHi ornccoiii- pli«hlnK their object, /.*'., by jtrohiltitiiiK uil from working mulcr^jround who are iiiiuble to ri'tul the iniiicii rt'giilatioiiH and undcrHtand ord(>r>4 given in the Knglinh iangnage. Our mlHHion and school at Tnion in atlected by thoHe things in the f'oU lowing ways : — (ii) A school haw been organized either by the Colliery ('(unimny or the Chin- ese merchants, or both, with the intention of enaliling many of the Chinese to "qualify " under the new regulations. A certain sum is kept back — about f:( — each month from the wages of the Chinese for the stijijiort of tlu- school. Som<' of the men have told Mr. Hall that tiiey were dissuaded t'rom attending uur Mission for reasons which we have not been able to discover. {!)) The Chinese who so faithfully, and absolutely without any human reward except the gratitude of the missionaries, continue the work of teaching in our evening schools at Victoria and Vancouver. But for their valued aid a most im- portant evangelizing agency would be much limited in its scope and influence. Some teachers have been very conscientious and liberal in their servi«'es. But whilst with gratitude we praise the teachers v ho assist us, with regret we note that the burden falls upon a comparative few. Some of our Chine.se Christians who are desirous of obtaining a further knowledge of our language have no op- portunity of getting a le8.son. If they are able to teach the alphabet they are drafted into service because of the scarcity of Christian teachers from among our own people. Some two or three of our (Christians have gone elsewhere to receive instruction iu English because they could get no help in our own mission. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. CHINESE IN BKITISH COLUMBIA.

There are four schools with an enrollment of 165 and an average attendance of 63. The chief discouragements are : (1) The fishing industry and con.sequeiit absence from church and school. (2) The potlatches, which are wasteful feasts lead- ing to poverty. (3) Gambling and drink often encouraged by seamen, who have their own ends to serve. Notwithstanding these there is a general improvement — houses are better and cleaner, degrading customs are disappearing and some are enquiring as. to the way Council. — The missionaries on the coast meet at intervals for consultation and mutual help. Workers who are isolated so much of the time, are greatly cheered and refreshed by a day or two of conference upon methods of work and different aspects of spiritual life. ALBEENI. ly ; Industrial Home. — There are two Indian tribes beside the village, about 200 in all. The expectation of the Committee was that the Home would accommodate children from all the tribes in Barclay Sound. That expectation is now beginning to be realized. There are at present twenty-eight children in the Home, nineteen boys and nine girls. Of these some are from the coast tribes. Mr. J. R. Motion and Mrs. Motion, who have had experience in the Regina School are now in charge, and are devoted to the work. Mr. Motion is giving more attention to industrial work than was possible hitherto. The boys show a liking for carpentry and do creditable work. The day school is in charge of Mrs. K. Cameron who is an experienced and efficient teacher. All the children in tlie Home as well as some day pupils attend the school. The Government has now agreed to give the Home a Boarding School grant, viz., $72 per pupil, for 25 pupils. BARCLAY SOUND. Ucluelet children on roll 37 Ahousaht " '' 42 Dodger's Cove ' ' 26 Mr. Swartout itinerates, seeking to follow the Bands with his message in their migratures. School work for the past year has been carried on ander increasing difficulties. More tliau usual have the Indians been absent, sealing and fishing, it being very difficult to secure regularity at school. Tlie larger boys go sealing and all move with their parents to the various fishing stations. Sometimes the attendance at school is large, and then news arriving that the salmon are running, or there are plenty of halibut or dog-fish to be got at a certain point, there is a sudden flitting, and school sutlers. vmsimmmm m 155 Potlatches also, both at the stations, villages and the other tribes, have inter- fered with school work. Ucluelet has suffered more from these disturbing elements than ordinarily, and as a result, not only has the average attendance been reducad, but school has had to be closed for eight weeks ; whilst at Ohiaht, though school has been kept open, the work has suffered. At the latter station building operations, carried on principally by the teacher has also hampered the work. And yet there is reason for encouragement in the progress made by the child- ren and the interest manifested by many of the parents. It is also encouraging to note a growing disposition to take advantage of the Industrial Home at Alberni, three from the Ucluelet school, two from the Ohiaht, besides three otliers who were not on the books of either school, having been received. Itinerating. — The causes operating against school work demand that more attention be given to itinerating. With Indians scattered in small bands over a large territory, it is necessary, if they be reached with any degree of regularity, to go to them. This would be comparatively easy if they were land Indians, but living on islands or small clearances on the shores of the mainland, they can only be reached by water, necessitating travelling by boat, at best an uncertain and often a dangerous method. Even in ordinary weather, quick pa.ssages must be made to avoid storms and save time, while in the stormy season unless a journey is very (juickly made there may be serious delays. This department of work will be much facilitated when a launch is secured, and we take this opportunity of thanking those friends who have sent contributions for this purpose. Liquor drinking and gambling have decreased at Ucluelet during the year, for which we are thankful ; whilst at Ohiaht, with the exception of a few outbreaks of these vices, they have almost disappeared. To attain this, however, smuggling has to be prevented, and in this the mis- .sionaries must sometimes take an active interest, resulting of course in antagonism on the part of the culprits, who seek to exonerate themselves at the expense of the reputation of the missionary. Evangelistic work has been carried on as usual. Sabbath schools and preach- ing services have been conducted regularly at each point, in the native language or in " Chinook," each member of the staff taking a share in thi.-: work. Whilst on the whole, the Indians show little desire for Christianity, yet ser- vices are well attended, especially at Ohiaht, and the interest manifested by some is very encouraging. It is, indeed, quite evident that not a few have a knowledge of the truth, which is gradually leavening their lives, and the name "Christian" is recognized among thera as a symbol of a righteous character. At Ucluelet the whites also have frequently gathered on Sabbath evenings to a service in English. Inquirers. — There has been a weeding out during the year. The unstable have gone back to their former ways, but the true remain. There is particular encouragement in the increasing interest displayed by some of the old people, three or four of whom, give evidence of a sincere desire for the l)etter life, wliilst we are not without hope that others among them are disposed to follow. We have striven to faithfully sow the seed ; the results are in the hands of Him who gave us our commission. We earnestly request the sympathetic interest of all God's children by whose intercession the work may be much strengthened. 1 MPPMP^ r ~ .':!ii;; - ., - i_.

The Rev. J. C. Thomson, M.D., rei)orts the work among the Chinese of Montreal as progressing favourably. SCHOOLS. There are now eignteeu schools in operation —sixteen Sabbath Schools and two v.eek-night schools. Provision is thus made for teaching the Chinese every day in the year. The attendance varies according to locality : the lowest average attendance in any school is seven, and the highest is sixty -three. This work might be enlarged were it possible to secure a larger staff of teachers. The men are anxious to be taught ; they provide books and other school requirements and contribute freely for the support of the work. Miss Woodington resigned her position as teacher of the week -night school last spring, and Miss Annie McCaul has filled the position since then with satisfaction to the Committee. '■:-:h. C. E. SOCIETY. A Christian Endeavour Society was formed recently and is doing excellent work. The meetings are conducted by the Chinamen themselves, and will b? found very helpful in developing Christian life and ability for service. The mem- bership is now about twenty-five and !;he attendance has reached as high as sixty. CHINESE SERVICE. Dr. Thomson continues to conduct divine service in the Chinese language every Sabbath evening. These meetings are well-sustained and several men have passed from them into the full commuLiion of the Church, THE NATIVE ASSISTANT. The native assistant, Chin Now Seng, has rendered efficient service in visita- tiori, in preaching and in general helpfulness. He is fluent in speech, his manner is devout and his influence among the men is good. CHINATOWN. The evils associated with that part of our city known as " Chinatown " have been felt during the year. The police authorities have interfered more than once. Several arrests were made and flues imposed. The result of thi.' interference on tei , 15« the part of the civic authorities has beeu beneficial. The evils complained of have been considerably checked, and several badly-disposed persons have been shorn of tlieir power. For this better state of things special credit is due to Chief Detective Carpenter. FESTIVALS. The holding of large festivals, to which are invited all the Chinese scholars of the city, and their teachers, is still an essential part of our work. Several sucli have been recently held. One was to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of tlio commencement of Chinese mission work in Montreal, as well as the fifth anni- versary of Dr. Thomson's connection witli the work. It was a large and repres- entative givthering and addresses were delivered by many leading ministers and Christian workers of our city. Otiiers were held to celebrate the Chinese New- Year. One purpose of these gatherings is to keep the men from dangerous influences during the festival s^-.;-ou. It is always sought to give a distinctively Christian character to these gatherings, and we believe that the influences are good. • AVOEK IN OTHER PLACES. While Dr. Thomson spends most of his time in Montreal he does not neglect the needs of the Mission in other places. He travels westward from time to time. and organizes the work in such centres as Ottawa, Toronto, etc. The work in Toronto is especially encouraging. He also does a great deal through corres- pondence to keep up an interest in the work and to help those who are trying to teach the Chinese in towns and villages. THANKS. r'i ■'■■ ^." I'M' Our grateful thanks are due to the congregations who contribute towards the support of this work, to the Protestant School Board for the payment of the salary of the teacher of the night school for a part of the year, and to Mr. David Yule for a generous subscription. We would also acknowledge the excellent work done by our faithful superintendents and their loyal teachers. We recommend as follows : 1. That, in view of our large missionary interests in the Chinese at home and abroad, the General Assembly's Foreign Mission Committee be requested to urge upon all our congregations, within whose bounds Chinamen are found, to endeavour at once to bring them under Gospel influences, that they may be helped and be made a blessing to the millions to whom they are sure to return. 2. That, in view of Canada's increasingly important commercial and sociiil relations with that great empire, and the critical state of affairs there at present, we urge upon our Governmental authorities not to embarrass those relations by raising the capitation tax from $50 to $500, as now proposed, and which we cannot believe to be in accord with British justice or the Golden Rule. w.>^ :>:^'fl ■ j j- i'S • i' ■.'^WU '■ ^ .'^-lEB! \ ' - ! i. ii||l|:i 1' I 162 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLE(JE, HALIFAX, 1899-1900. Tv tlie Venerable the General, A.isemhhi : In submitting their Annual Report on this ocassion, the Board of Management i>f the Presbyterian College, Halifax, feel that their first duty is to give expression to their profound sense of the great loss which the Church has sustained in the removal, by death, of their late Secretary, Rev. P. M. Morrison, D.D. It is already known to the Assembly that at the time of their meeting last year, Dr. Morrison's health was far from good, and that for some months his strength had been failing. After the close of the meeting he sought rest and change, but without perman- ent beneficial results. Before he reached his home he was called away, and entered into his rest on .July 20th, 1899. The Board, in common with all the other Committees which he served so faithfully, put on record their high appreciation of his gifts, character, work and worth, and their estimate of the value of his services to the Church which he served so faithfully, and loved so well. As it will be necessary for the General Assembly to appoint some one to succeed the late Dr. Morrison as Agent, the Board of Management think that the time is opportune for reviewing and amending the regulations for the guidance of the Agent of the Church in the Eastern Section, and for adjusting more fully the relations lietween the Board, the Finance Committee and the Agent, and for determining more specifically their respective duties and responsibilities. With these objects in view, a Conference was held between a Committee of the College Board and your Finance Committee, at which a series of recommendations was made, of which the College Board has approved, and which they now submit for the consideration and action of the Assembly. As regard.s the Agent, it is recommended : First, That the Agent of the Church, Eastern Section, shall act as Secretary of the Home, Foreign Mission and Augmentation Committees, Eastern Section, and of the Board of Superintendence of the Presbyterian College, Halifax. As such, he shall con- vene these Committees and the College Board, keep the minutes, and conduct all corre- spondence connected with the same. Under Home Mission work shall be included tlie distribution of probationers. He shall also prepare for submission to the Assembly the '.nnual reports of the Committees and the College Board. Second, That he shall act as General Treasurer for all the Schemes, with the excep- tion of the Minister's Widow's and Orphan's Fund, in the Eastern Section of the Church. As such it shall be his duty : 1. To receive and acknowledge all sums contributed to the Schemes. 2. To take the general management of all the Funds, make investments of the same and collect interest, in connection with an Advisory Comnittee. 3. To tran,sact all the current business of the Sch mes, and prepare the annual accounts . 4. To transact all the business of the Hunter Fund for church building under the charge of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, it being understood that that Fund shall bear its due proportion, with other funds, of his salary as Agent. 5. That the Agent of the Church, for the time being, be a membei >ffi,rU> of the College Board. As regards the Advisory Committee referred to above, it is recommended : i. That the .-Vdvisory Committee be a Coimnittee of the College Board, inasmuch, as that Board being incorporated, hold all the investments of this section of the Church with which the Agent has to deal. 163 :.'.

The lioard has not much that is unusual to reiK)rt in connection with their work ihiriiii,' the past year. The income hah been somewhat smaller, ami the expenditure considerably larger than for the previous year. Receipts from interest on investments were .*t;,740.()() ; from gifts, !?25(> ; from be<(ue8ts, IT)** ; and contrii)utions from lf1. For books and magazines $14(i..'it( were paid, and $12 for the Morrison Bursary, thus reducing the balance on hand of $118.41 at the end of the previous year, to $59.02 at the close of last year. The particulars in reference to capital invested for the College and Bursary Funds will be found in the report of the Finance Committee. The new College building has given great satisfaction to both i)rofessor . and stu- dents. The class rooms are large and comfortable, and the library has been so arranged and managed as to make it much more convenient and serviceable to those who wished to use it. Some progress has been made during the year in collecting the subscriptions previously made towards paying for the building, but in consequence of the effort on i)eha1f of the Century Fund, nothing has been done since last meeting of the Assembly in the way of obtaining new subscriptions. Prior to April 4th, 1899, there had come int. ■ the Treasury for the new College build- ing the sum of $11,759.72. Since that time $.'i,.W2.83 have been received through the ordinary channels, and $748 through the Century Fund for the payment of debt on the building, making a total of $4,110.8."^ received this year for this purpose. The debt on April 4th, 1899, was $4,705.11. Since that time the expenditure has been 84,111.49, mak- ing the debt at the end of last year $4,765.77. It is hoped that during the current y«ar, through the payment of subscriptions already made, and by means of contributions through the channel of the Century Fund, the greater part, if not the whole, of this debt will be paid. The cost of the new building will be nearly $21,0(X>. The Senate's Report indicates .the character of the work which has been done in tha College during the term which closed on April 25th last. The Board of Management carefully considered the remits sent down to them by the 'Jeneral Assembly, and their findings will be reported in the usual way. The Board feel constrained to acknowledge gratefully the blessings which have crowned the year in connection with the work of the College, and they would earnestly pray that He who has been mindful of the Institution in the past would abundantly bless it still, making it more and more successful in training men for the work of gather- ing in and building up Christ's people, and evangelizing the wc rid. All of wh'ch is respectfully submitted. THOMAS SEDGWICK, Chniiinan. E. A. McCURDY, Ai-iinii Secretary. u m ■ ■■[ 164 REPORT OF THE SENATE OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, HALIFAX, SESSION 1899- 19(K).

Tiie ordinary work of the yeir was conducted with very liti-le interruption from sick- ness ; the attendance was regular, and the diligence of the students is to be highly com- mended. The work of the various departments was as follows : i tenpa I. — Church History axd Homiletics. In the class of Church History which met four days a week, the general history of the Christian Church down to the time immediately preceding the Reformation was the subject of study. For this the students prepared with the aid of a text-book. In Scot- tish Church History, the period extending from the Restoration to the middle of the eighteenth century formed the subject of lecture and examinations in the class.

It may be noted that Messrs.

II. — Additional Professor in Theology. We reported last year that, though $20,000 was still required for the endow- ment of an additional Professor, it was resolved to make an a)>i)ointmcnt at the next annual meeting of the Board, and that a Committee had undertaken to laise the required amount. The action taken by the General Assembly with regard to^ the Century Fund, ma«le it impossible for the Committee to move in the matter. It woidd have been disloyal to the Assembly to have done anytiiing. On the con- traiy, the Finance and Estate ("ommittee, immediately after th'.; A.ssembly lose, met and agreed to place at the disposal of the Moderator, the services of the Rev. Dr. T. G. Smith — then General Secretary of the University, — his salary to be i)ai(l by tfie University as usual. His severe illness soon after and his untimely death i re- vented the good results that were expected from hisAvise co-operation, botli by the ("ommittee and the Moderator. In the death of Dr. Smith, the I'niversity lias lost a truly loyal graduate, and the Church a devoted minister. Although the en«low- ment of the chair had been but partially secured, the Board felt that a longer delay in making an appointment was unnecessary, as„ only six month's salaiy would be called for this year, and there could be no reasonable doubt that $40,000 would be forthcoming from tlie Century Fund before next May. From a list of candidates placed before the Board's Committee, the name of Rev. Samuel ^Ic- ComH M.A., a minister of the Irish Presbyterian Church, who sid)sequently served the English and U. S. Presbyterian Churches, was selected, and the Board, to-day, appointed him Professor of Church History, and History of Doctrine.

Treasurer. 180 .:i KEPOUT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF KNOX COLLEGE. '•■ .'J . V The Board of Management of Knox College renpectfully preHenta to tho UenerHl Assemblv its fifty-aixth annual report, and also transmits the report of the Senate, tut- ting forth the work of the Faculty and students during the past sesiton. Sixty-tive students were enrolled in the Theological Classes during thd pant seseion, and twenty-three of these graduated at the close of the Academic year. Sixteen Ktudents took, during the past session, their second and third years in the Preparatory Courso under the old system. As this Course has, under the new regulations of the Assembly been discontinued, except for the benefit of those who had entered it under former con- ditions, no new students have been admitted into this department. Provision was made during the last session for the instruction of the students of the second and third yearn in this Course. For the next session, however, the Board will be called on to provide only for those who, last session, were in the second year, but will then be in the Kiiul year. All students before entering the Theological Course will hereafter be re(iuired to take a Degree in Artn, or a somewhat modified University Course. The Board hopes that students will, as far as possible, proceed to a University Degree before entering on their Theological studies. The total receipts from Endowment and Congregational contributions have been $17,104.27, while the disbursements have amounted to $17,049.'25, leaving an apparent bal.'vnce of $55.02 in the hands of the Treasurer. Accounts which were unfortunately delayed in being rendered at the time when the books were closed, and which have since been sent to the Tre.'iurer, have changed this surplus into a deficit of upwards <>f .^oOO. The Board observes with deep regret the decrease of congregational contributi'>ns, which, combined with the continued fall in the rate of interest produced by investment?, seriously diminishes the revenue of the College. The Board cannot refrain from expresH- ing its surprise that upwards of three hundred congregations seem to think it unneces- sary for them to contribute anything for Theological education. During the past year the Board has received $1,000 from the executors of the late Hon, M. C. Cameron, for the establishment of a Scholarship in memory of a deceased son, and a like sum from Mr. David Morrice for a similar purpose. The fall in the rate of interest har seriously affected the fund for the payment of scholarships, and unless it be considerably increased the Board will be compelled to reduce the amount of many of them. The (juestion of the appointment of another Professor has occupied the careful attention of the Board. It was hoped that it would have been possible for the Board to have reported to the Assembly, that tiuiincial arrangements had been made for the establishment of a new Chair, but unforseen difficulties having arisen, through vexatious litigation, payment of a becjuest left the College for that purpose has been delayed. Two suits affc;;ting this bequest have been successfully disposed of, and there is every reason to suppose that a similar result will be obtained in the case of the third and last action. As the income for the support of the Chair expected to arise from this bequest will not thus be immediately available, the Board cannot proceed towards taking action for an immediate appointment, but respectfully asks the consent of the Asse- bly to the appointment of a new Professor being made by the Board before the beginning of next Session, should circumstances warrant it— subject to the ultimate approval of the General Assembly. The Board feels that the duty assumed by Professor Ballantyne of teaching both Church History and Apologetics is too heavy a burden to be imposed on him, and recommends that on the establishment of a new Chair a readjustment of the professorial duties be made. All of which is respectfully submitted. WM. MORTIMER CLARK, Chairman. Toronto, May S9th, 1900. N. Carr.j \\.\., A. Robert li.A..

Six of these students have not yet completed the year, havinf( taken only certain subjects, under the system of University options. The following summary of the Class Reports is given : Dr. Gdcen conducted the classes in New Testament Literature and Exegesis, and in Biblical Criticism. In the fortuor of these subjects the Senior Classes (Second and Third Years) heard lectures in the first four chapters of the Epistle to the Hebrews and on va. 1-8 of chapter vi. Lectures in Introduction to thu Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians (I. and II.), and Galatians, were delivered to the Senior Class. The Greek Critical Exer- cises of the Second Year were examined and criticised. The Senior Class prepared the twalve first chapters of Hebrews for examination in Translation and Grammar. The Junior Class read critically in the Gospel of John, chs. iv. : 130, and prep-^red for examination in Translation and Graninmr chs. i.-xii. A series of lectures on ti*'. principles and history of Scripture Interpretation was delivered to this Class. The Mon- day lecture of each week was devoted to the subject of Biblical Criticism— dealing chiefly with the sources and history of the Text of the Old Testament and the New. Dr. MacLaren, as in former sessions, conducted the Classes in Systematic Theology. The Senior Class, consisting of the students of the Second and Third Years, met four hours weekly and heard lectures on the Decrees of God, Creation, Providence, the Origin of the Human Race, Trichotomy, Man's Original State, the Covenant of Works, the Fall, Original Sin, the Covenant of Grace, the Person of Christ, His Prophetic and Priestly Oflices, including under the latter a partial view of the necessity of an Atonement. The Confession of Faith, chs. viii.-xix., were carefully analyzed and studied in class, and Dr. A. A. Hodge's "Outlines,", pp. 200-514, were prescribed for study. The Junior Class (First Year) met three hours weekly and heard lectures on the In- spiration of Scripture, the Rule of Faith, the Attributes of God, and the Doctrine of the Trinity. The Confession of Faith, chs. i.-ix., was analyzed and studied in the Class. This Class, also, had prescribed for study Dr. A. A. Hodge's "Outlines," pp. 65-199. The attendance of the students was generally good, and their deportment excellent. Dr. Proudfoot delivered thirty-two lectures in Church Government, and ten lectures in Pastoral Theology to students of the Second and Third Years. He heard and criticised forty-three discourses of students of the same years ; in this way teaching Practical Homi- letics, and devoting to that subject as much time as was given to Church Government and Pastoral Theology. He also prescribed Texts to students ot the Second Year. Dr. Proudfoot, further, heard and criticised ten discourses by students of the First Year, who voluntarily gave afternoon hours for that purpose. Professor Ballantyne reports that in Church History the Senior Class studied the history of the Reformation in Great Britain and Ireland. The leading features of Mod- Il h • 1 182 ern Church History "ere likewise discussed, with special reterences to the churches of Scotland and Engliind. To the Junior Class lectures were given on the history of the Church during the first eight centuries ; the Apostolic period received special attention in this course. Fisher's History of the Christian Church was prescribed as a text-book in both classes, and the courses were conducted by means of recitation, discussion and lecture. Ill Apologetics, the Senior Class met once a week for the study of Anti-Christian Systems of Religion. De la Saussaye's Manual was used as a text-book, and lectures were given on the subject, following the outline indicated in the text-book. Emphasis was laid upon recitation in discussion in carrying on the work of this class. Proffusor McFadi/fn reports that the Senior Class m.et three times a week and heard lectures on the Canon of the Old Testament, and on Introduction to Rosea. This book was read and taken up exegetically in the class. Every member of the Third fear wrote a Critical Exercise on some passage of the Old Testament. In addition to the terminal examinations, a written examination on the work done during the former part of the session was held in January. The Junior Class met three times a week, heard lectures on Hebrew Grammar and Syntax, and on Introduction to the Psalter. Certain Psalms and a small portion of Deuteronomy were read exegetically. In addition to the terminal examination, in this class also a written examination was held towards the end of December, and weekly exer- cises wore written. Elocntiiin was taught during the first term by Professor William Houston, M.A., as substitute for J. W. Bengough, Esq., who had again been invited by the Senate, as authorized by the College Board, to conduct this department. During the second term Mr. Bengough was in charge of the class in Elocution. Mr. Houston dealt chiefiy with the subjor ts of Voice Culture and Articulation, his lectures being introductory to those of Mr. Bengough, who was mainly occupied in teach- ing the principles of Reading and Public Speaking, and in exercising the students in both. In commencing his work, Mr. Bengough announced to the students his purpose to give them marks in accordance with their work done in the class from week to week, in- stead of defining their standing by means of a final examination. The students were required to prepare brief compositions, which they delivered in the class, while they were also practiced in delivery and reading of selections in the various kinds of 1 ;,erature. Mr. Bengough remarks rhat the emphasizing of the importance of a good litera y style is essen- tial in the training of those whose work will largely consist in public speaking. I'REPARATORY DEPARTMENT. ;i*-- In accordance with the action of the General Assembly in 1898, abolishing the Pre- paratory Course and substituting for it a three years' course, to be .taken wholly at ut upon them by the appointment of an additional and much-needed professor, and it i.s hoped that the help of the older provinces so generously given hitherto, will be continued till the gradual growth of the home revenue balances the increased expenditure. The congregational contributions from the Provinces of Ontario and (^Juebec amount to 82,.'^;"). 99, a shortage of $142 as compared with last year. The Synod of the Maritime Provinces has gener- ously sent us an annual contribution of $500 for several years, but for the year now chising only .?24.'i has been leceived. We are encouraged i:o h(.ie that their gift will yet be supplemented to the usual amount. Continued thanks are due to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland for a repetition of its nontrihution of £100, and to Mrs. Barbour, of Bonskeid, for a gifr. of £20 to the Scholarship Fund. We regret to say that the Church of Scotland has been compelled, by a deficiency in its Colonial Mission Fund, to discontinue its annua! appropriation of £50 as well as to reduce its assistance to our Home Mission work. The Board expresses its gratification that the increase in the in.fesHoriate has rend- ered possible a re-arrangement of the Theological curriculum, and r.el'.eves that the cur- riculum, as submitted by the Faculty to the Senate, and cordially adopted by that body, will meet with the approbation of all conversant with the wants of 'he College. The Board reports with gratitude that sums of money have been received to endow two scholarships in the Theological department — one a contribution of $1,000 from the estate of the late Principal King to perpetuate a scholarship which he had given annually ^utt^^imm mmmm 187 in memory of his son, John Kalph King ; another, a like sum from the Niebet Academy Fund ill memory uf the valuable work of the Rev. .James Nisbet, our first missionary to the Indians. The Rev. Charles W. iJordon, of Winnipeg, and Dr. Gilbert Gordon, of Toronto, have conil)iiied to give SoO a year as a scholarship in memory of their mother. This was awarded for the first time last September, and l)ear8 the name of the Mary Roliertson Gordon sclKilarship. St. Andrew's Church, Winnipeg, through the Kev. Joseph Hoirg, has oH'ered a prize of $2~> f f r the best examination on the " Hules and Forms of Procedure." The thanks of the Board are also due to the (io\ornor-(jieneral for a Ijronze medal, to the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba for a silver medal, and to the Alma Mater Society of the College for a gold medal. A beginning has l)een made during the past year in establishing in the convocation hill! of the College a portrait gallery of the men who have rendered distinguished service to tlie College and to the Presbytprian Church in the West. The first picture to be hung was that of the late Principal, Dr. King, presented by women of the city of Winnipeg who had attended his lectures on Tennyson's In Mi'murinm. This was followed by a portrait of Dr. Robertson, the Superintendent of Missions, presented by ministerial and other friends in the North- West and British Columbia. Til reference to the matters referred to t'. i Boards of the several Colleges by the last (ieneral Assembly (minutes, page (12), this Board begs to slate : First, That it recognizes the importance and desirability of having a uniform stand- ard throughout the whole Church, and it therefore approves of the scheme adopted by the General Assembly to establish an Arts course which shall (jualify a man to enter on the study of Theology at a stage one year short oi that re((uired for che degree of B. A. Second, As regards ([uestions numbers 2 and .'i, since they do not apply to Manitoba College in its present circumstances, the Board has not given them any considerable degree of attention, and asks to be excused from answering them. During the year valuable additions of books have been made to the library at a cost of nearly §500. Three hundred and twenty-eight volumes have been added by purchase, chiefly in the department of English literature. Numerous gifts of books have been received. In particular, thanks are due to the Rev. William Dewar, B.A., for 127 volumes ; to Mrs. Walker, widow of the Rev. William Walker, of Chatham, for forty- nine volumes ; and to Sir Thomac VV. Taylor for nineteen volumes and thirty-five pamphlets. All of which is respectfully submitted, Winnipen, M8oi)hy in the Honour Mental and Moral .Science course, and also assiHted with junior classes in Mathematic and History. Mr. Davis, as last year, taught junior classes and classes as high as the standard of the previous examination in the Department of Modern Lanj^uages. The Senate takes pleasure in acknowledging the debt of gratitude for thoroughness in teaching and for excellence in discipline which it owes to these younger members of the start' — Messrs. James, Clark, Davis, and Dr. Manahan. Co-operation with other Artt; Colleges in the city has been continued and extended. For several years the candidates in Honour Science from all theColleges have met togotiier and have been taught in common I >' thi three Professors from Manitoba, Wesley and St. John's Colleges, who ap| •^ion vork " ong themselves During the past year sinii r- i; ' ,^e department of Mathematics. The arrange- \ Va esley College for joint teaching in the depart- ^.nence and German, have been carried on to even a lar joint teaching has bee> i" ^ or ments between Manitoba ments of Classics, Mental ar greater extent than hitherto The students' societies, theological, i, issionary, literary, musical and athletic, and the Colhiji' Jourudl, have been in efl'ective operation, and have exercised a healthful intlu- ence during the year. The Senate acknowledges Nvith thankfulness the goodness of (Jod in the health vouch- safed to stafl' and students, in many other blessings temporal and spiritual, and not least in His guiding hand manifested in the transition which followed the death of the late Principal, Dr. King. All of which is respectfully submitted. Winnipetj, Maij 19th, 1900. \VM. PATRICK, Principal.

In presenting its eighteenth report, your Board begs respectfully to inform the General Assombly that the past year was the most active in iti history. Tlie chief industries of the country have been fairly i)rosperous and remunerative during the past few years, and hence the circumstances of the people have improved; railway building has been active, opening up ex- tensive farming districts for settlement ; ard the indow of immigranta has been steadily increasing, tilling up old :,3O0 on buildings valued at $14,810. The outlay of the Board thus amounts to .'J17,940 on property valued at §60,230. RECORD OK EIGHTEEN YEARS. In 1882, when the Board was first appointed by the General Assembly, there were only ei£!liteen churches and three manses in all the country between Lake Superior and the Yukon. Till' Board has since that time assisted in the erection of 364 churches and seventy-six manses, or 440 buildings in all, worth, exclusive of the land on which they stand, .$583,820. Only about one-fifth of the money controlled by the Board has been employed in the erectiou of manses, while four-fifths was employed in the erection of churches, and yet the rent saved by tlie manses would yield interest at the rate of between nine and teii per cent, on the total capi- tal entrusted to the Board. The saving of money eflfected by the erection of manses is a direct contributioa to the Home Mission and Augmentation Funds. 198 NISBKT ACADEMY. From the diviaion of the assets of the Nisbet Academy, sanctioned by the last General Assembly, the Board received Mie net sum of $5,122.98, which wa:< added to capital. TWENTIETH CENTURY FV.W. Your Board is gratified to learn that it is co participate in the amount to be raised Id con- nection with the Twentieth Century Fund. Betwcun the extremities of the territory in which the opera I ou a of the Board are carried on is a distance of 3,500 miles. The volume of inimi gration into tiiis part of the Dominion is steadilj increasing — 40,000 in 1898, 50,000 in lN!t(), forecast for 1900, 70,000 to 75,000. The mosr, f f these people are beginning life ; for a few ^•oars they are not making, but sptn.Ung money, and have little o invest in churches or manses. Many of thtm are from sections where little attention was paid to their rel-gious wants, and they have become indifferent, if not hostile, to religion. If visibility is to be given to religion, if the necessary accommodation is to be possessed for Sabbath Sohool work or the Services j* the Sanctuary, a chu'^h is necessary ; and, without help, the people feel uneiiual to the task of building. And tht- -elp given by the Board now is so inadequate that building is often postponed beyond the tim hat prudence suggests. The average grant of your Board is only $120, that of the American i resbyterian Church (North) over $450. Could the Hoiird double its grantr in amount, buUdings would be erected earlier, and the cause of religion greatly advanced. The increase ot the capital of the Board, it is hoped, will enable the Board to increase its grants in number and amount.

The Committee desires toexpress its thankfulness that the year covered hy thisIlei)ort affords some grtiund for encouragement, and the hope is induls(ed that increased liherahty will mark the future and that, at no distant date, it will be possible to come up to the full measure of the annuities provided for by the rules, instead of only the modified scale t(i which those ministers, who have given over twunty-tive years of active service, have in the past been reduced. It will be a source of satisfaction that the adverse balance which has unfortunately been so prominent for the past few yi^ars, has now disappeared, and that there is a small balance to credit. This balance, however, will be more than al)sorbed in the payments of an outstanding annuity and the supplementary grants.

In the case of the Rev. A. Campbell it is recommended that he be placed on the Fund for one year, his case to come up for re-consideration. In the case of the Rev. D. G. Cameron, who has in some measure recovered, at his own request benefit is limited to a period of an allowance for seven months, which has been granted by the Committee. In the case of the Rev. E. Mullan, and Rev. James Camei-.n, the infirmity, in the judgment of the Committee, is not such as to preclude ministerial work, and therefore the Cummittee cannot give favourable recommendation. In the case of the Rev. Norman McPhee, whose application was before the Com- mittee a year ago, a further application has been made by Mr. McPhee, and inquiry is now being made. It is recommended that his case be left in the hands of the Committee. T ;? MINISTERS WISHING TO CONNECT WITH THE FUND. In view of the frequent application made by ministers who are not connected by payment of rates, and who are beyond the four year limit, for information as, to how they may become connected, and as the Committee is of the opinion that having to come specially before the Assembly for leave to do so has a deterring effect, and as it is most desirable that all the ministers of our church under the age fixed by the Assembly (55), should be in full connection and pay rates, the Committee resolved to recommend that the Assembly give power to the Committee to receive all applicants on payment of the proper rate. The Committee also resolved to make a special appeal to ministers not now con- nected, to seek connection at an early date and pay rates. Several reasons might be given why this should he done, but perhaps the highest is that it may be a measure of unselfishness, which will make them more akin to the Master. Some brother, not so well off, may be helped. The Committee intends to adopt means of bringing the matter s[)ecially before each Presbytery with the view of securing this desirable result. 209 DEFERKED ANNIITY RATES. hi obedience to the direction of the General Asaenibly, the Convener prepared a :irculiir containing reference to the action of the Assembly, also giving the proposed rates with explanations, and addressed a copy of the same to each Clerk of Presbytery from Halifax to Victoriaf, and at the same time sent to each Clerk, either by mail or express, a piircel of the circulars sutticient to place one copy in the hands of each member of I'resbytery, as indicated by the names appearing in the last Blue Book. He also had the Kules with all the recent changes printed, and included a sutlicient number with the circulars to give one copy to each u.'mister. So far only thirteen Presbyteries have reported, as follows : — Maitland. — 1. Approves the principle of the scheme. 2. Reconmiends that the principle of assessment in proportion to salary be introduced into the scheme, and that tht^ amounts above the average rate be devoted to the General Fund. Oranoeville. — Approves. Keoina. — Approves the Pichenie of annual payments by ministers of the church. Thinks that more satisfaction would be given to all parties interested if the age of pay- ment of interest be changed from seventy to sixty-five years. Melita, Max. — Approves of the Deferred Annuity scheme. Would recommend that the maximum age be reduced. Triro, N.S. — Recommends the adoption of the scheme of Deferred Annuities. St. Joh.n, N.B. — 1. Presbytery approves proposed scheme of Deferred Annuities. 2. Recommends that arrangements he made by which the annuities would become pay- able at sixty-five years of age. MiRAMicHi, N.B. — Expressed approval of the Deferred Annuity scheme. AuiOMA. — Approved tables for Deferred Aimuity. Peterboro. — Approves proposals indicated in the tables, with the following recom- mendations : — 1. That sixty-five years be the age fixed for the period of retirement. '2. That provision be made for the heirs of a minister who has paid into the contemplated fund for some years in case of his decease before reaching the age of retirement. Ottawa. — Most heartily approves the scheme. Commends it to favourable considera- tion of ministers within its bounds. la of opinion that all members should be re(|uired to connect with the Fund at ordination. Recommends that the age limit be Barrie. — Approves of the table of annuities, reduced from seventy to sixty-five years. LoM»ox. — Approves of the general principle of the proposed scheme, but in the meantime draws the attention of the Convener of General Assembly's Committee to the fallowing uncertainties in the details : — What if the minister be laid aside through intirmity before he reached the age of seventy 'i Will lie receive only from interest on HMdowment and congregational contributions ? What provision is made in such cases ? When ministers connect with the plan of Deferred Annuities, the rates of what age will ho be expected to pay ? At his age of ordination, or his age at entering. Will the rates l>i' retroactive, or will they begin at the time of entering '. ToRON'i ■ - Presbytery expresses its approval of the plan. Ill view of the fact that only thirteen clerks of Presbyteries have sent in replies rtspecting the finding of Presbyteries, while the Committee has reason to believe that a Li'iud many Presbyters above the thirteen reported, had tho matter under consideration, 'he Committee resolved to recommend that the consideration be allowed to str.iid over riir another year in the expectation that a more general return may be had from the other Presbyteries. 210 >\\ m\ While making this reoommendation the Committee would call attention to the fact that in aeveral instances, as will be seen from the condensed replies from Presbyteries, consideration has been given and reoommendation made on points not included in the matter sent down by the Assembly. It may be stated that the question of reducing the age of retirement from 70 to 05 cannot lie considered in connection with rates tixed absolutely for the higher age. If the age is to be reduced from 70 to 65, it will mean a large increase in the rate for the deferred annuity. In regard to other points raised in some of the replies, as for example the asseHs- ment between larger and smaller stipends, and what is to be done in the case of ministers who may die or retire before reaching the age of 70, they need not be dis- cussed in this report, but if the Presbyteries have enough interest in the Fund to consider the question and see that a finding is sent in, the Convener will be glad tu throw all the light he can upon the several points raised. RespectfuHy submitted. J. K, MACDONALD, Conrener.

The Committee, in presenting their annual report, deaire to express their gratification with the beneficial effects of the Fund. Their only regret is that the year closed with a comparatively large adverse balance. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Receipts.

The revenue remained almost exactly what it was during the preceding year, whereas the amount paid in annuities in 1899-1900 was $558 in excess of the year before. The contributions from congregations are encouraging, showing an increase of $310.19 over the previous year. The number of ministers who paid rates was 138 ; number in arrears, fourteen ; total, 152, being an increase of six for the year. The rates from ministers, however, were $335.71 less than what was paid during the year before. The explanation of this is that during some years large arrears are paid up. As the present sources of revenue of the Fund may be approximately determined, it is only too evident that unless a change be introduced, the Fund munt become embarrassed. Two courses are open. One is to cut down the annuities one-quarter. The suggestion has only to be made to be rejected as unworthy of the Presbyterian Church. Those who know best the character of the work accomplished by those on the list feel how inade- quate the present annuity-scale is. It must not be less. It ought to be more. The other course open is to raise the rates for ministers. At present the average is less than $5. The average contributed by congregations is $10.50. Both of these might be raised fifty per cent, without burdening any one. The result would be that, with the increase of capital proposed by the Century Fund (viz., $12,000), the needs of this Fund would be fully met. We must be prepared for a lengthening list of aimuitanta, as the balance between additions to the list and removals will probably nut be reached for some years. The Committee are not prepared to ask the Assembly to legislate at the 212 w flu present time, but desire that the Church should be ac(|Uainted with the condition and prospects of the Fund, and at the rii^ht moment devise a way by which it will l>« delivered from the suggestion of instability. The number of annuitants at present is twenty-six. Following is the list, and the amount paid to each : — Rev. .lames Bennett, D.D 8200 00 " Lewis Jack 200 00 " W. S.

To the Venerable (he General Aatemhly : Your C'ominittci' regret to rt'port that the income of the year was $2,625 less than the exin'nditiin'. Tlic yrar lu'^ran with a halance on hand of 11,091.71 ; it ends with a deficit of S^l. •■);>:?. 7o. 'I'iic (•(mgrepitioiiai (•<)iitrii)iitions amounted to $6,453.62, being an increase of $2^1 over tiiose of the preceding year. Th« receipts show a decrease hotii in interest receivable and in ministers' rates, amounting together to $1,356. This, however, was expected as intimated in the report to hvst Assembly. For the last two or three years, the amount derivable from ministers' rates has been j^reatly in excess i>f the average amount, because of the fact that many ministers who formerly were not connected with the Fund, have in recent years united with it, paying up the arrears to enabl* them to do so. Your Committee last year reported to the Assembly that, owing to the exceptionally large number of deaths in the ministry, the annuities had greatly increased, and from the aecoinpanying linaneial statement it will be seen that the amount paid for the year just ended, lias been upwards of f 1,000 in excess of the previous year. If the annuities are to be continued on their present scale, an increase of at least fifty jter cent, in the revenue derivable from congregations will be required. It ought not to be a Iuii-.

Of tliesf, five have obtaimul setliemfnts, four as pastors of re^fiilar i-harjfi'H. ami oiio as an Orilainod Missionary. Two were droppeil throujfli expiry of time. Of the twenty-nine, the Presby- tery of Hamilton forwarded and certified three ; Maitlaml, Sarnia, Harrie, Toronto and Montreal two each ; Melita, Rejfina, Brandon and St. John, New Brunswick, all lying- out- side the field of your Committees operations, one each ; one was a returned Missionary, certified by the Forei^fn Mission Committee, and one who was settled shortly after his name appeared, do not produce a Presbyterial certification. The I'resbyteries of Lonilon, Peterboroujfh, Saufjeen, Brockville, Ott.iwa, Ciueiph, Chatham, Ni.rth Bay, Cllengarry and Lindsay (10) sent one each. Twenty Presbyteries of the twenty-seven with which your Committee are charged, sent in the names of men wishing employment, so that it will be seen that whether they avail themselves or not of the supply at disposal, the medium of the Committee is widely accepted for the emploj ment of ministers not in charge in the vacancies of the Western Section of the Church. The number of Sabbaths each Quarter, for which employment was procured for Prob.i- tioners, varied from five to eight. There is reason to believe that most of these received appointments to vacancies on direct and personal application, either to Moderators of Sessions, or the Convener of the Home Mission Committee in the bounds. Your Committee are of opinion that the indefinite expression, " for full or partial supply," occurring in the regulation requiring .ill Presbyteries to report their vacancies, should be made more definite — in fact, they could scarcely be more indefinite--and Presby- teries avail themselves of this in sonio cases, comparatively few, however, by applying for appointments so low as two or three n the Quarter, some for four. It is thought that the old practice of leaving vacancies to obtain one-half of their supply, and the Committee authorized to send one-half, would bv just to all parties ; would be an encouragement for some to go upon the list that now withhold their names ; and would give those looking out for settlement a better opportunity of knowing the resources of the Church for pulpits that are vacant. The eagerness of settled ministers, even of some who have not been long in charge, to obtain a hearing in vacancies, has not exhausted itself. Very many examples of the kind have come to the knowledge of your Committee in the past year. .\ widespread spirit of restlessness still prevails ; and there is ground for the apprehension that this interferes with that close and diligent and successful application to the Master's work that is expected of every one who thinks he has heard the M.ister's voice in the call to which he has responded, and seen the Master's hand guiding him to the field of labor he has been led to choose; and with that attachment and confidence, and earnest, zealous co-operation which should be extended to the minister by all the office-bearers, members and adherents, whether young or old, to the oversight of whose souls he has devoted himself. In fact, this spirit of rest- lessness has become the normal state of the Church, and is so very different from what prevailed in the days when, as some of us are disposed to say, it was better with us in this respect than it is now. In the course of the year 10.5 vacancies were reported, the greatest number of which, fifteen, were by the Presbytery of Hamilton ; the second, eight, by that of Ottawa ; the third, seven, by Guelph (which, in most instances, took one-half supply) ; the fourth, Peter- borough, six ; Montreal, Lindsay, Toronto, Barrie, five each, and the others in smaller numbers down to one, as in the case of Quebei-, North Bay, etc. Some Presbyteries do not acknowledge the circular issued every quarter to collect information regarding the number and circumstances of vacant charges. In the Scheme for the quarter, January to March, seven examples of this occur, namely, the Presbyteries ■{^ 219 X OF of Lanark ami Ronfrt-w, Brockvillo, Kin^fNton, StrHtfortI, Iliiron, Briik.o ami At{;oma. Soim'linu'Ji llio aii^wt-r comes after iho tuertin>; of llu- I'oniiuillet', alihoti(;h di'tinil«- insirm.-- lions are jfivcn that this shoiiiil be done three weeks before the close of the (jiiarter - a date which is certainly known by those upon whom the duty of replying devolves. An excuse for not receiving supply for one or other of the quarters, made by some Picshyteries, is that the vacancy is about to call, or has called. Hy one l'r«'sbylery a cliarf^e was reported as havinif called, and was reckoned by the Committee out of supply ill ilieir distribution. The sante Presbytery reporletl it the loilowin^' ipiarleras sii'l vacant, aiul il was taken intt) account for the proportion of supply to be assigned. In the opinion of your t'ommiltee, a charf^e without a slateil minister or supply shoulil be re^ariled as n A'//i» //(/f vacancy up to the acceptance of a lall that has been extemled, ami the tiale fixed (or the settlement, and let it be left to Probationers who may be appoinlcil to ileiiile v hellier tli(>y will take the work Hssiff .Saujjeen on ilu- same subject. Both the Remit and the Overture were placed in the hamis of your I'oniniillee, but without any instructions as to what should be done with them. In the Re|H)rt last year, a scheme for the supply of vacancies was proposed, ;tnd was sent to a Special Committee of .Assembly, appointed by the Miulerator, with instructions to ri'|iort Hi a later sederunt. So far as appears from the minutes, that Conunillee iliti not report ; and accordingly, your Committee now reprothice the scheme, which has been care- fully examined and consitlereil by them, and which they re^faril as deservinjf of a favour- able reception and adoption on your part, which they accordingly recommend. I.— CO.MMITTKE. 1. That a Committee on the supply of vacancies be appointed for the Western Section of the Church, including the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, it not beinjf possible to iiu-lude the districts of tiie Maritime Provinces, Manitoba and British Columbia on accoimt of ihe extent of territory over which they spread, ami other )feo>fraphical consiileralions. 2. That this Committee shall consist of five members appointed annually b_\' the Cieneral .Assembly, so chosen as to entail the least expense consistent with efliciency. 3. That it shall be the duty of this Committee to meet .-it least quarterly for preparmg' and publishing a quarterly scheme of distribution and the discharge o( other competent business. 4. That they shall call for and receive from Presbyteries in the Section reports of the names of all vacancies in their bounds prepared to call, and the nantes of Licentiates and .Ministers without charges desirous of employment among these vacancies. 5. That' in preparing the roll of Licentiates and Ministers without charge applying for :i|>pointments, care shall be exercised to have il composed only of such as ;ire likely to be called, and for this purpose it shall be competent for them to decline the immediate inser- tion of any name that may be lorw;. led if, in their judgment, there is good reason for doing so ; but that they communicate to Ihe Presbytery their reasons for their action, and on reply from them may reconsider their decision and either change or reafiirm it — all such cases to be reported to the Assembly. 6. That each Licentiate or Minister may have his name continued for appointments two years from the date of its insertion on the roll, when it shall be dropped, unless satisfactory reasons can be assigned for its being retained for a longer period. 7. That in making distribution the Committee shall observe such order as is most likely to secure a hearing for the probationers in all the vacancies, thus giving the opportunity of mutual acquaintance. IL-PROBATIONERS. 1. That the roll of probationers shall consist of all Licentiates and Ministers without charge, certified by Presbyteries and accepted by the Committee. 2. That in the order of names a distinction shall be made between licentiates and ministers, the first place being assigned the latter. 3. Probationers will be expected to fulfil the appointments given them, unless relieved by the Presbytery to whose bounds they are sent, notice of such relief to be at once sent to the Committee who may appoint others in their places. 4. Probationers against whom complaints may be lodged for not fulfilling thei ^w\ m 220 I'll 1 1 '• ■ '■ *' . fc'- *- appointments, for inefficiency or unacceptableness, shall have their appointments withheld or withdrawn, intimation of this to be sent to them and to the Presbytery certifying^ them. 5. Probationers are required to acknowledge the receipt of the list of appointments for the quarter by the first post, and to apply at once to the Conveners in charge of vacancies in Presbyteries for their appointments in the bounds. 6. In accepting a call probationers shall at once give notice to the Convener of the Committee, and to the Presbytery's Convener in charge of vacancies within whose bounds he has been assignea. 7> Unless in exceptional cases probationers are to remain in the vacancy through the week, and undertake such pastoral work as may be required by the Session. III. PRESBYTERIES. 1. Three weeks before the close of each quarter Presbyteries shall, through tlie Convener of their Committee on the supply of vacancies, report to the Convener of the Assembly's Committee vacancies in their bounds prepared to call for at least one-half supply, Sabbaths of the quarter. 2. That they report the names of all Licentiates open to appointments at the time of licensing them, and the names of Ministers applying for work, but these shall be only of such as have had stated charge of congregations in their bounds for a period of not less than four years, unless in some special cases. 3. That a name which has once appeared on the roll shall not be admitted a second time unless the person has withdrawn to engage in Mission work under a Presbytery, or the Home Mission Committee, or from some special reason. 4. The attention of Presbyteries is called to the regulation in force that "Students shall not be employed to fill the pulpits of congregations prepared to call, except in cases of special emergency ; nor shall ministers in settled charges be employed to the exclusion of thof-" on the Roll of the Committee, except by special permission of the Presbytery, 5. fhat in making application for supply each quarter Presbyteries shall have opportunity of stating objections to the appointment of any probationer on the list, and shall send the same to the Committee for their consideration. IV.— REMUNERATION. That the following rate of remuneration be required for the services of each proba- tioner per week with board ; In vacanciesjn which the salary paid the former pastor was from ?800-$l,000. $10 $1,000-81 ,500.. 815 $l,500-$2,000..$20 $2,000 and up- wards $25 The annexed Appendices I. and II. contain as full and detailed information as your Committee are prepared to give in respect to vacancies and their settlement.

Tu Tlir Venerable The General Asaembly. ^■om• Committee on Chureh Lite aud Work begs to report as follows : — QUKSTIONS SU UMITTED. Tliese, as prepared by the Committee, were .sent to Presbyteries in the month ot'November. They have been freely critici/ed by several Sessions and I'resbyteries. Tliis is gratifying to the Committee, as it indicates an unusual interest in their work. The criticism would be of more use, if the precise defect in the questions were pointed out. The Committee would welcome any suggestion of improved (jiiestions. Tho.se submitted are commended by some Presbyteries as very suitable, iudieating that notwithstanding defects, there is some fitness in them. Let it be remembered, that the object of the questions is rather to suggest directions, in wliicli " life and work " may be displayed. Any Session is at liberty to put them aside, and give its views in its own ways. But if a line of (luestions was main- tained, it might in time Lssue in a united policy throughout the Church on imi)ortant points of congregational administration. Also, it might be the means of reaching that inactive mass, whose sluggishness acts as a drag on the wheels of the Church. THE REPORTS FROM PRESBYTERIES. All the reports received from Presbyteries are excellent. Convenei*s have done their work ably and conscientiously. Only about half of the reports from Presbyteries were received when this report was begun. This delay in sending in reports could probably be overcome by a little exertion. The reports exi)ress satis- faetiou with the returns from Sessions in the majority of cases. But, accepting tliese favourable statements, they make quite manifest the fact that there is a large portion of the Church little interested in her life and work. Two points are un- mistakably indicated, from which the General Assembly can draw its own con- ehisious, namely, first, that a large number of Sessions still i)ay no attention to the re(|ue.st of the Assembly for a report on this subject. Second, that a large number of Sessions answer the questions in such a way, as plainly to show, that they have given little attention to them, and are little interested in them. These facts are an index of the " life aud work " temperature, where they are found, which is not encouraging. The questions submitted to Sessions deal with Church life and work under four general divisions. Namely : — The Congregation ; the Sabbath ; the Schemes ; Social (Questions. Your committee desires to treat the subject with the utmost brevity. But it is submitted that a report on Church Life and Work which covers so wide a' ^-ritory, requires not only to be condensed, but to be ju.st. There- fore the reporttis presented with the consciousness *^hat the task is a difficult one, and in reliance on the consideration of the Assembh . 8 226 r\ ■: •*' I THE CONGREGATION. 1. Mention any evidence of favourable or unfavourable conditions of nligi- ous life in the congregation. The answers (o this question indicate, as we would expect, both favouiable and unfavourable conditions. The ({uestion is, — Which preponderate throughout the Church ? The answer indicated by the reports is, that the evidences of a favourable condition of ri'li>;i(ms life ill our congregations, are present to an encouraging extent. These are tiiinn- erated, but need not be repeated here as they are familiar to all. The unfavonraljlc conditions present are also reported. The Church recognizes her condition, it is not the ideal one. That has not been reached in any period. Her story is one of conflict. Her course is through a hostile world. Looking at our Church fiom seu to sea in all her widely separated and widely scattered congregations, her cxiieri- euce at present is that of earnest conflict. There is no outstanding testimony of unusual success. There is no evidence of exceptional conditions of religions life. There is abundant testimony to the fact that God is in the midst of her. The Church is holding her ground. Not indeed satisfied, there is an earnest striving after improved conditions, and in this universal consciou.sness of not havins; attained, and aspiration after a higher life and larger success, is a great element of hope. EVIDENCE OF A MISSIONARY SPIRIT. 1. In the contributions to the Schemes of the Church. 2. In seeking to gather in the non-church going population in yonr neighbourhood. Do the contributions of our congregations testify to the presence of the mission- ary spirit in tliem ? Undoubtedly they do. The reports are unanimous upon this point. We acknowledge with thankfulness the response made to the claims of tiie Gospel at lionic and abroad. Many sjjecial calls have been made upon the iieojile during the past year. The Century Fund, the Famine Fund, the Patriotic Funds have eacli appealed to the sympathies of tlie peoi)le. These in many parts of the country have been liberally responded to. It is evident that the religious lifo (if the people is manifesting its presence in the support ami dissemination of tiie Gosi)el, as well as in deeds of benevolence apart from the work of the Church. .\ missionary spirit does exist in the Church. It is present to some extent in all tmr congregations. It is more cons})icuous in some than in others. In some it is nuuii- festly in its infancy. In all it should be found in larger dimensions. This seems to be the substance of the evidence. INTEREST IN THE NON-CHURCH GOING POPULATION. On this point our Church has not yet adequately fixed its thought. Tiie rejtorts are almost unanimous in showing that our congregations do not realize tluir obligations to those who are outside of the churches. The Church must grow li'oin two sources. The outspreading of her own families, and tlie bringing in of tliose who are without. This is home mission work in its true sense. Every cougrej;a- tion should mis.sionate in its own territory. This is not felt, nor is it done to any noticeal)le extent in the great majority of congregations. It is more attended tn and more re([uired in populous centres Zeal and expenditure on distant jilai ts .should be accompanied by interest in those in our own neighbourhood who need tlio Gos])el. Tiie reports show^ that this view is not prevalent, though there are a U'w honoiu'able exceptions. While saying this it is to be borne in miyd, that if not directly, yet something is done indirectly in this connection. Also that the (in ^nre oi which mign .\ny c>| 1. 1| -• M On tiiil ,.„c,mraM:ii>r growing \\\ irvi'i'oHcc- on I'lir not| meelinjis, wonl :»»'l Soini' are il subject, ai the test in\ in Ihif^ 1"^''' II IS not l>t V wiUinmnes societies, t their altei loyalty, tioned. ^ justly Uor from who lis follies, the attitu 4.

They are not degenerating ill tliis respect so far as the reports show. THKIK UoVAI/rV TO TUK CIIIKCH. It is also testified that they are loyal to their own church. Why should they not 1)( ? When they are not, possibly there is souk; lack in the cluircii. Their willingness to aid in all work appropriate to them, their services in tlie various societies, their contributions to mi.ssious, and to other objects, their j)rayer nu>etings, their attendance on ordinances, all are gratefidly sjtoken of as testifying to their loyalty. While rejoicing in this testimony, there is another side sometimes men- tioned. Young men do not unite with the Churcii in such numbers as might be justly hoped for. Pastors are discouraged at the indilference manifested by those tVom whom better things might be expected. The world carries away many into its lollies, and estrangement from Christ. But the reports indicate satisfaction with the attitude of the young people generally. 4. Is a kindly interest taken by the elders in the spiritual work of the (Jhurch and by the deacons or managers in its financial all'airs? This ([uestion was submitteected from those who are alive to spiritual things. Your committee aie of opinion, that a united appeal by the principal pastors of all the churches, accom- panied by men of standing in the commercial world, made by delegation to tliosc corporations which most continuously violate it, might be attempted with success. Local elforts are of no avail. The local officers of these corporations are under orders, and can do nothing of themselves. The Presbytery of llock Lake recom- mends to the General Assembly, "that it use its best efforts to have laws passeil in the Parliament of Canada, to prevent any corporation or company from enij)lc)y- ing men to do any kind of work, on the Sabbath day, except works of necessity and mercy." Every congregation whose members are forced to work on Sabbath looks to the General Assembly for such protection of their right to a day of i-est, as it can secure for them. Your Committee with many of the Presbyteries recognizes witii satisfaction the forward step taken by the Lord's Day Alliance in the appointment of the Rev. J. G. Shearer as its agent. A fuller statement in regard to this ap- pointment, as well as to the whole subject, will no doubt be laid before the Geneiai Assembly l)y the committee appointed to deal with it. The third division of the questions relates to THE SCHKMES. To these reference was made under the first question, but here the questions deal with details not referred to there. The first point to which attention is called is, .'■*■ .r-%teiS1gS«^^ 229 1. Does tho amount contributed to the Schemes of the Chureh Itetir a lair re- lation to the means of the people? ' The question in intended to call attention to the fact, that there should he a liiir proportion between tl)e means of the people and the amount of (heir contrihu- tidiis to tlie Schemes. The reports almost without exception answer this (piestion in the negative. While the liberality of the peoi)le is gratefully recognized, and the exceptional liberality of some congregations is given due credit, yet the (lelib- ciatc. judgment of the reports is, that the contributions to the Schemes, in the great miijority of our congregations, do not fairly represent the resources of the people. This condition is sustained by evidence, patent to every otlice bearer and member of llic Church. The scale of contribution is the measure of our interest in the l)uilding up of the Chun-h, an*' the extension of the Kingdom of Christ. This interest, in too many cases, isn^t so great as it should be, and in too many, seems to l»e entirely al>sent. It is true that very good people may not real!/*' the import- ance of the Schemes. They may not appreciate colleges sunicieiilly. They may not understand the use or need of an Assembly Fuiul. Many do not feel any hunlcn even in connection witii missions, home or foreign, hence the snuill contri- l)utions. Education in the Schemes is evidently recpiired. It is not only more life tliat is needed, but more cultivation and more knowledge. A wise and ellective ]ihm of instruction on this subject, carried out by each Session, would be of great service to the Church. Your Committee ho])es, that the attention of Sessions, Deacons' Courts, and Managing Boards, will l)e given to this subject, till a higher standard of giving for these objects is attained. The second point to wliich attention is called under this head is, 2. How fully does your method of collecting for these elicit the liberality of your congregation ? Tlie reports make clear (1) That there is no one; system in use, or found to be of universal application. A great variety of methods is employed. ('J) 'That methods are in use whicii are confessedly inetlective. In many congregations the inctliods do not reach all the possible contributors. {i\) That therefore the lilierality of the congregations is not elicited as it might l)e, and the means in the congregation is not called ujion as it siiouM be. It is greatly to l)e dei)lored, in tile circumstances of our Church, that money vvhicli might l»e, and would be given to the cause of Chri.st, is not given, because of the failure of tliose who should collect it to seek it in the right way. The third point under this division is, 3. Are there any or many non-contributors to the Schemes in tliu congregation ? The testimony on this i)oiiit is almost unanimous, namely, that there are ii; aUnost all our congregations, noii-contrilmtors to the Schemes, and that the number of these in some congregations is large. Also that many of these are found in the membership of the Churcli. Some reports say that as many as twenty per cent, of tiiose wlio ought to contriiiute, do not do so. In one instance it is said as many as lifty per cent, do not contribute. Xor is the cau.se iiialiility to do so. It is the alisence of any sense of responsibility or duty in this relation, which appears to l)e tile principal cause. Some even who are ollice bearers are found among tlie non- contributors. This state of things it is admitted is not creditable to any congrega- tion. Your committee believes that by united etlbit on the jiart of iiastors and cilice bearers, the number of non-contributors could lie reduced to very small dimensions. From the testimony of the reports on this subject the treneral Assembly will see, that the attention of congregations requires to be directed to the claims which tlie several objects included in the Schemes have iij)on the support of the members and adherents of the Church. There will remain, no doubt, after all our diligence, a portion of the people who will neglect this duty. But a persistent ellbrt should be made, in the judgment of your committee, by every congregation to improve ■'I ■1 230 In t ' \l i' . u mm iifiti > t ft the mctlj^xls of (■(ilh'cliii^ until tlio Itcst for tlicm is roadicil. And ('_') that iio ccm- Ki'CKiitioii should he sutislUtd, until the n(in-<-()ntril)Utory cleini'nt is rcdiu'i-d to a uiininiuin. Thw powcu- and usefulness of the Church depends, apart IVoni In r spiritual life and aRt'iieies, on the revenue she lirin)^s in to the 'rr»;asury of Cliii-i. No aino(Mit of s|)iritual phraseology will nuike up for the ulmeiiee of eonnnon si mm in these matters of detail. Tlie next dlvi»i«»n of questions deals with I'nder this head three important subjects are inquiretl into, mimely, — Tein|iti- anee ; the jxtlitieal life of the people, and the eondition of the eonimunity in red r- enee to ehastity. Under the subject of Temperance, the (irst question asked is, I. What is being don(! of a specilie kind to eiK'ourage total abstinence mi Clirislian grounds? The answers to this tjuestion are encouraging, because they show unmisiukc- ably, that all our Sessions regard the practice of total abstinence as one which is in harmony with the law of Christ. They inculcate it in all their ministralitpiis. and manifestly the great majority of our jtcdple carry out in thi'ir lives this jiriii- ciple. Manifestly also, they do so on intelligent grounds. Not because it is niiiilc expedient or necessary by any human legislation, but because it is in harnioiiy with what they believe to be the teaching of Christ. While this is so, few repuris speak of anything of a specilie kind being done to extend the principle. It is tauglil. it is exemplilied in jtersonul conduct, it is inculcated on all siiitalijo occasions. The young particularly are instructed in it. 'I'he whole inlluence of the Chuuli is pressing the duty on the conscience of the peoiile. II. What eHbrt is being made to strengthen teniperancfe sentiment in tlic community? This question is in i)art included in the previous one, aud so far as the reports indicate what is being y porHiHtent and vigilant I'tlorts on tli(> part of the Christian pcoiil*' of till' country. IV. It is auked, — Is the law as at i)rcsi'nt .-xistinn wol I enforced, or is it violated? And if not enforced, what is the reason? Tiie almost unhroken testimony is that the existing laws are not fully enforced. It must he borne in mind that no comntunity lives up to the letter of the law in iinv dcpartnu'Ut of life. In respect to the lenjperance laws it is fdt, that the aniiiuiit of violation tolerated is greater than it should he. A number of reusons JUT ^iivcii for this state of things. Tlu? failure in duty of the ollicials appointed to sec to its enforcenu>nt may, in particular localities, partly explain tlie fact, as is stilted in some rejtorts. The l>road fact remains that tlu- continual violation of the rc^iiilatious under llu' law, have, as might be expected, conu' to lie ac(|uiesccd in very gciHMally without ]»rotcst. The real rea.son of this state of things being that the <'onscience of the |)cople has not been educated up to the point which the law liiis reached. The (;onseience of the peo[>le rcciuircs to be continually rcinf(»rccd on this subji'ct. In a review of the whole situation, there has not taken place any sucii cliauge ill regard to this subject as to warrant any desi)oiiding feeling in rcgar conditions that arc complained III', and would l)ring nearer that deliverance of the pcoi)le from the evils of iutem- pcnmce. and that further suppression of the liallic. with its baleful accomitaui- niciils, which is the aim and desire of the Christian jx'oplc of the country. The sentiment of our Church on this (juestion is unchanged and inimistiikeatile. Ciiiistian nu'U may and do ditl'er as to ways and measures to be used in this spber«' 1)1' Ciiristian activity, but the Church now, as in the past, will not rest satisfied, until the fullest enuviu-ijiation of llie i)eople from the ])ower of this trallic, and the ttiuplations which accompany it, that is possible of attainment, has been reached. The following remarks in ref«'rence to temperance, have been forwarded by Kcv. D. S. Fra.ser for insertion in the report : IHK IT.AX OK WORK, The workof educating our young i)eople in the [)riuciples of temperance should not be allowed to relax. While we may strive to secure and enforce llurbest possible laws to suppress the sale of liijuors, the work of education must be continued with zeal. The saloon is ever busy making recruits fortlie ranks of drinkers aiul drunk- arils, and it is of thegreatest importance that oiir children and youth should be well instructed in the i)rinciples of temi)erance as based on the teachings of Scrii)ture. The " Plan of Work " has, for some years, proved to be a very helpful nu-ans of carrying on this training in veiy many Sabbath Schools and C. K. Societies, samples, or parcels of manual, pledge cards, and pledge books, will be furnished on ajiplication to llev. D. Stiles Fraser, Upper Stewiacke, N.S. The ''Manual" explains all about the "Plan of Work" an in its jiroper order. 2M2 J iV I* . ■ 1! V. Wlinl is the stii(f (»r.tiM'ict\ in your IkxiikIh in regard to flmxlity ?

Some pastors have frit that tln'r«' is a necessity lor callinjt the allention of ihc Church to it. I'ossihly there does «'xist such necessity. Tint whether there lie m not, (he testimony ol'our Sessions is. that there is not special need tor dealing wiih this sultjcct so fur as the life of our Ciiurch is concerned. < hitside of the < 'liiin h the reports also intlicate, that in relation to this suliject, the character of our pop- idation stands hi^h. In some of the newer districts of the, west, as well as in niir cities, the subject naturally is more prominently l>rou;;ht unj«'ct to which. «'vitlently. the attention of oui Sessiiuis has not been nuich jjiven. At the sain«' tinu' the (jueslidu is an importiiiit one. We have been hearinj; much lately of the necessity of cultivatinuClirisliiiii citi/.enship. This is, t: ('relation involved in the tpu'stion. . Our Church is a p mm! school for citi/eiiship. The reports show that the violationsof it. referred to in liiis question, are n(tt found amon^ us. Nor was the (piestion asked with any expecta- tion that they woidd be. The sid)ject was introduced todireet attention to the fact that our relif^ious life is, and should be seen as c(msiiicuously and liri<;htly in (Hir citizenship as in any other relation. There is no locality within the scope of oui' returns, in which this evil has been so prominent as to have arrested the attentinn of the Church. There is in almost cvi'ry locality a small lunnberof the populatioii who may be enticed into these jiraittices. The inlluence (»f Christian peoi>le should render them a diminishiiifx (|uantity in every part of our land.

KKl'OltT Ol' Hl'H-COMMITTKK of THK UKNKlt.M, A.s.SK.Mlll.Y H (OM.MITTKK ON I. IKK AND WORK. IMie (■eiieral Assenilily of last yearadded to the recommendations of the Report (III Life and \V(U'k the followinj^ recommendation: (See min.: (J. A. ji. •'>"».) •• In view of th" fiu't that we arc soon t<» enter upon a new century, and that till' (o-neral Assenihly has taken delinite action towards the raising of a Century Fund, in order suitahly to mark the occasion in connection with the work of our Ciiiirch. the .\sseinhly definitely recoj^nizes the supreme importance of an advance ill spiritual life, and to that end invites to special prayer and co-operation the entire nicmhership. and especially the ministers and otlice hearers of our Church, through- out the cominj> year, that a committee he appointed whose duty it will he to take such action as they may deem desirahle to stimulate, direct, and secure unanimity in such ctl'ort." In accordance with this resolution a suh-committee was appointed to carry out lliis recommendation. This sul»-<"ommittee met in Toronto in the month of Septemher. As the result of their deliherations, they issued tlu' follow in^ circular to the clerks of I'reshyteries and to the pastors of the Church : — BARUIE, Sept. ir,tfi, 1S9i). To llir Clrrk of the Preshi/tenj : Dkak Sir : — On Itehalf of the Committee of the General Assenildy on Church Life and Work, I would respectfully ask you to call the attention of the I'reshytery at its first meet inf>- to the followinj>' facts: — (I) That in every report on Life and Work received liy tlu' Committee from I'reshyteries. complaint was made of the worldly spirit inevailiiif; in the ( 'hurch as the chief hindrance to the proj^ress of the iiospel. {'2) That the (Jeiieral Asscmhiy recommends that " I'reshyteries and Ses- sions make use of such nu'asurcs as they deem wise to revive the relij,noiis life of conal benefit derived by the Churcii from the work of tlie Committer is to be found in tliese two directions. P^'irst, in the fact that by the questions submitted, ail tlie Sessions of the Church have their attention directed to the religious life of the people under tlicir care, and to the i)rogress wliich the Church is making in her spiritual opera- tions. And second, in the consideration by Presbyteries, of the admirable reports sul)initted to them on the imjjortant subjects embraced in the (piestions. These rci^orts, as already stated, are prepared with great care, and sympathy with the vaiious matters discussed. In manj' of them, useful recommendations are, made, wiiich space forbids our quotinji here ; the same reason prevents our making <|uot- atidiis from the reports themselves, though in nearly all of them valuable remarks arc made on the subjects under consideration. Also it is to be rememl)ered that very diiferent conditions obtain in the widely separated districts from which the reports come. In some parts of the Church, as is to be expecited. there is a more eiK'diiraging state of congregational life than in others. It io not to be expected that in the short period which has (dapsed since the reports of the preceding year were issued, that any very marked change can have taken place in the conditions of congregational life. The great desideratum in connection with these reports is, that the Sessions and Presbyteiies should take up tiiis subject of the life and work of the Church more seriously, and give more time to it, realizing that on the life of the Church the success of every detail in the ailniinistration of her manifold interests depends. Your Committee submits also, tiiat it is worthy of consideration whether some (d)auge might be introduced in the lorni in which these returns are required. As the Assembly is aware, tliis Com- mittee has remitted to it the subjects formerly reported on by four separate com- mittees. These dealt with the subjects of. The State of Religion ; The Sabbath; Temperance and Systematic Benetlcience. This Committee therefore gives a jilace to each of these subjects so far as pos.sible in the (jueries .submitted to the Sessions. Tiiis fact in a measure confines the scojie of the (juestions. It might be the means of giving greater variety and lil)erty of treatment to tiie subjects under Life and Work, ifthe Presbyterial Committees were recpiested to take up the work ea. the record of each succeeding year may be as gratifying in this respect, and as honorable to the Church as the r- cord of this year has been. This year has been as other years, in the persistent faithful pressing on iu the appointed duties, and in the common ways of effort, on the part of all our congregations. This is what is required of us from day to day, and it is this which has carried our Church onward through many difficulties to her present position of usefulness and power. The silent forces are the mightiest. The faith, the zeal, the i)rayor. the sympathy, the humble following of the Master in tiie details of life, these it is which break up the indifference and the unbelief of the world, and make way for the (lospel. Throughout our wide Dominion these have been making their influence felt. The contribution of our Church to the Life of our Conntry is of the highest value. The work of the Church is the formation of intelligent christian character. It is a work not only of converting, but of building up in knowledge and faith. Our circumstances as a people call for the putting forth of our best efforts in this direction, not content with a decorous perforniancs of religious ceremonies, nor with an occasional out-break of emotional zeal, Itut educating the con.science, and building character on an intelligent faith in tlic Divine word, and Divine authority. It is manifest that the Church is takinj; possession of her mission opportunities with wisdom and in a generous spiiit, though alwa\ s, our opportunities go far beyond either our ability or inclination to use them. In the mirrower but no less important spheres of the family, and congregation the life and work of the Church has been manifested as we have seen in many encouraging directions. The whole .survey emphasizes the teaching of past years, that in order to maintain and carry forward the, good work, the highest stanclard of culture and efficiency in the ministry must be maintained. Unintelli- gent pulpit or pastoral work, is very much, labor lost. The consecration of a cultivated pastorate to the work of the Master is the hope of the Church. A revival and continuance of pastoral fidelity, and of fidelity in all our office bearers is the condition essential to anv advanc^e. THE CKNTURY FUND, This part of the year's work need not be spoken of here, as it will be fully dealt witn by itself. It is only referred to, as having entered largely into the life and work of the Church during the past year. The effect of it on our congregations has been wholly beneficent. It has been highly and beneficially educative Just where education is most required. Your Ccmnnittee trusts that the expectation of the Church will be realized, the million dollars obtained, and with this, that the Divine bk-.sinp; wny be bestowed on all our congregations and families, so that a great spiritual refreshing may be enjoyed in all our borders.

JOHN PR INGLE. 240 !in • REPOIJT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSER- VANCE AND LEGISLATION. To the Venerable the General Assembly : Your Coinmittee on Sabbath Observance and Legislation appointed a year ago, " In view of the unusual iiinmds being made on the sanctity aud integrity df the Lord's Day in Canada, aiul in view of the desirability of having the convic- tions of the Tresbyterian Church adequately and ellectively represented before the Government of tiie Dominion and Provinces in co-oi»eration with simihir com- mittees of otlu'r Churcljcs and organizations, wwrking for the preservation of tlic Lord's Day," desire to present tlie following report : (1). No circumstances have arisen calling for any such action on the part (tf your Committee as thuir appointment contemplated, and thus, so far as any definite work done by them is concerned they hnve no report to offer. (2). Owing, however, to the supreme importance of the right observance of the Lord's Day, and the danger that the day of rest should be made a day partly of toil and gain or i)artly of pleasure-seeking, and the critical uncertainty of our laws upon the question, your Committee deem it wise to present : I. — Some hopeful and encouraging signs. II. — For the information of members of the Court, a memorandum of the Statutes in the Provinces of Canada, for which, as for some other details, we are much indebted to Mr. A. E. O'Meara, Solicitor of the Ontario Lord's Day Alliance. III. — A statement of the present condition of legislation on the subject. I. — Hopeful and Encouraging Signs. r '' * '■ (a). Your Committee corresponde'd with various labor organizations throuiili- •out our country, e.g., branches of Trades and Labor Councils and Trades and Lalioi Congress of Canada, and received si'.ch replies as these : Mr. C. Wlieat, Secretiiiy Trades and Lab«)r Council, of Toronto, says: " I do not know of any body of organized men who do not oppose Sabbath labor at any aud all times." Mr. II. Terry, Secretary London Trades and Labor Council, says^ " This Council does not favor anything in the way of Sabbath labor. Almost all the organizations atl'il- iated with us have })laced in their constitutions demands for double time for work on the Sabbath as a protest against it." Mr. Geo. W. Dower, Secretary Trades and Labor Congress, says : " Our Congress is on record as opposing the Sabbath labor, aud as emphatically opposing the seven days a week." Mr. D. J. O'Dono- ghue, who has a long and honorable connection with the Trades and Labor organ- izations, and is an uncompromising upholder and advocate of the right observance of the Lord's Day, not only from the workingman's standpoint but from a religious point of view, gives a copy of the resolutions passed in 1899 at the annual meetini; of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, in Montreal, as follows ; •' That this Congress protests against the inhuman practice of compelling men to work seven days in succession, aud affirms that one day of rest in seven is a natural law aud an absolute necessity of common life and cannot be broken with safety. Therefore 241 >BSKR. ed a year tejj:rity cf e coiivj,..

Surely these facts supply a point of contact with the laboring men for which, as a Cliurch, we should be devoutly thankful, and, as Ministers, we should seize and hold, that we may enlist on our side in defeBce of the Sabbath this mighty army.

Tile success of the Dominion Branch of the Lord's Day Alliance, and in particular uf tlie Ontario Lord's Day Alliance, in creating, arousing and crystal- lizinjr public seiiliinent in the matter of the right observance of the Lord's Day. Tile Ontario Branch was formed in 1895 and in the end of ""SQa had twenty- four Brunches. The etlicient work of the Rev. J. G. Shearer, as General Organizer during the early part of 1899 until his appointment as Field Secretary in the autumn of 1899, brought the number of Branches up at the close of the year to nearly eighty, and tlie number is steadily increasing. Besides, the Alliance has already secured important legislation, e.*/., the Act in 1897 making it impossible for any street or electric railroad to secure a charter after that date to have Sunday privileges. It has frustrated also the applications of several parties asking l)ermission for unneces.sary labor and business. (3). Your own action in appointing this Special Committee to voice your feelings officially when occasion demands is another hopeful sign by which we should be encouraged, as indicating tlmt the Church as i' whole is seized with the importance of the situation. The figlit that is to mean everything for the well- being of our ("liureh and pure religion in our land is now on. Let no Pre.sbyterian minister or congregation be found indifferent when the foe is attacking on every hand, but encouraged by these cheering signs redouble the efforts in its defence. m of the s, we are Alliance. ct.

In 1897, at the instigation of the Ontario Lord's Day Alliance, the Govern- ment of Ontario introduced an act to amend the Lord's Day Act, making (1) cor- {>orations. (2) all classes of persons subject to its restrictions and penalties. A very arge delegation of various companies brought strong opposition and the Goa xM-n- ment withdrew the bill, giving pledge, however, that soon one of similar import W'culd be introduced. ^ Since that time the Metropolitan Railway Company, despite the Act of 1897, forbidding Sunday privileges to ail street or electric railways not previously 249 works or possessing the same, began ruuuing their railway. They quoted in justification thf niliug of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in the case of the Halifax Electric Tnimway Company in which it was decided that legislation dealing with such matters was ultra virea of the Province and belonged properly to the Dominion Pailiameut under "Criminal Law." This was a new situation altogether, and at the request of the Alliance the Attorney -General determined to submit a test caee to the Court of Appeal to settle the matter of Provincial jurisdiction, and also various other questions in dispute. The Attorney-General appointed, at the expense of the Government, John A. Patterson, M.A., Chairman of the Legal Con:mittee of the Lord's Day Alliance, aud Mr. A. E. O'Meara, B.A., Solicitor of the Alliance, to argue the case. The argument is now going forward. The following is a copy of "An Order-in- Couucil iu the Court of Appeal for Ontario signed by His Honor, Lieutenant- Governor, the nineteenth day of May, A.D., 1899 : "Whereas, in the case of Regina v. Halifax Electric Tramway Company, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia recently held legislation regarding the Lord's Day passed by the Legislature of that Province since Confederation to be ultra vires, aud in the recent case of Regina v. Metropolitan Railway Company before the Court of General Sessions of the Peace for the County of York, the authority of the Legislature of Ontario to enact such legislation was called in question, and it is deemed desirable to ascertain whether and to what extent the Legislature of Ontario has jurisdiction on this subject. " And whereas, should it be held that the Legislature of Ontario has not such jurisdiction, it appears that, under section 129 of the British North American Act, the Consolidated Statutes of Upper Canada, chapter 104, still remains in force in Ontario : ' ' And whereas, in various proceedings in the courts of this Province, from time to time the questions hereinafter set out, numbered from 3 to 7, have been raised regarding the true interpretation and effect of language used alike in section 1 of said Consolidated Statute and in section 1 of chapter 246 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1897, and it is deemed desirable to ascertain the true meaning and eflect of section 1 of said Revised Statute, which ever may now be the law of this Province : "The following questions are pursuant to chapter 84 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1897, submitted for the opinion of the Court of Appeal : 1. "Had the Legislature of Ontario jurisdiction to enact chapter 246 of the Revised Statute of Ontario, 1897, entitled ' An Act to prevent the profanation of the Lord's Day,' and iu particular, sections 1, 7 and 8 thereof? 2. (a) " Had or has the Legislature of Ontario power by the aforesaid Act, or any Act of a similar character, to prohibit the doing or exercising of any worldly labor, business or work o\\ tlie Lord's Day within the Province upon and in connection with the operation of lines of steam or other ships, railways canals, telegraphs and other works and undertakings to which the exclusive legislative authority of the Parliament of Ciinada extends under the British North American Act, section 91, sub-section 29, and section 92, sub-section 10, a, b, c? (6) " Had or has the Legislature of Ontario power to prohibit the doing or exercising of any worldly labor, business or work oi the Lord's Day within the Province when such prohibition would effect any matter to which the exclusive legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada extends, under any other sub- section of said section 91, as for example sub-sections 5, 10 and 13 ? 3. "In section 1 of said Statute, R.S.O., chapter 246, or the Consolidated Statute of Upper Canada, chapter 104, as the case may be, do the words ' other person whatsoever ' include all classes of persons other than those enumerated who may do any act prohibited by said section, or is the meaning of these words limited so as to apply only to persons e^uadem generis with the classes enumerated ? 4. "Subject to the exceptions herein expressed, does such section 1 prohibit 250 fV'Vl indivirluals who for and on behalf of corporations do the labor and work . exercise the business of carrying passengers for hire from doing such labor and work and exercising such business on the Lerd's Day whether the corporations, for or on behalf of which the labor or work is done, are or are not within the prohibition of the said section ? 5. "Do the words "conveying travellers," as used in said section 1, apply exclusively to the carrying to or towards their destination of poidous who are in the course of a journey at the commencement of the Lord's Day? 6. " Does the said section 1 apply to and include corporations? 7. (a) " Do the words ' work of necessity,' as used in section 1, apply bo as to include the doing of that which is necessary for the care or preservation of pro- perty so as to prevent irreparable damage other than mere loss of time for the period during which the prohibition extends ? (b) " If so, is the necessity contemplated by the statute only that which arises from the exigency of particular and occasional ciicumstances, or may such necessity grow out of and be incident to a particular manufacture, trade or calling? (c) "If such necessity may grow out of or be lucident to a particular manu- facture, trade or calling, do the words 'work of necessity,' apply exclusively to the doing on the Lord's Day of that without which the particular manufacture, trade or calling cannot successfully be carried on during the remaining six days of the week?" EXPLANATORY REMARKS. ^ The case of Begina v. Halifax Electric Tramway Company was decided in January, 1898, ac'. arose from an attempt to enforce legislation of 1889 and 1891, bringing corporations and other employers of labor within the provisions and penalties of the Lord's Day legislation in force at Confederation, The main ground of the judgment is that such legislation belongs to the Dominion Parlia- ment under ''Criminal Law." The case of Regina v. Metropolitan Railway Company was a proceeding by inditemenfc to eo^brce against this company the legislation of 1897 prohib- iting Sunday operation by electric railway companies, etc. It may be of interest to note that the Metropolitan Railway Company has on two occasions, viz., when incorporated in 1877 and again in 1895, asked the legislature for power to carry passengers on the Lord's Day, and has on both occasions been refused. This Company is now one of the prime movers in attacking Provincial legislation. Sec. 129, B.N. A. Act enacts in .substance that the laws in force in the Provinces at Confederation shall continue in force thereafter, until repealed or amended by the Dominion Parliament or Ontario Legislature, according to their respective powers. This section is of great importance if it rfhould be held that the Provinces have not jurisdiction, for in most of its leading provisions the present Lord's Day Act is the same as that passed in 1845, which was in force at Confederation. Be Q JESTIONS ABOVE. 1. Section 1 is that which contains the main body of the law. Sections 7 and 8 are particularly mentioned because they were enacted by the Provincial Legis- lature in the yeurs 1885 and 1897 respectively. This question raises the broad general issue of the jurisdiction of the Pro- vinces. The B.N. A. Act assigns "Criminal Law" to the Dominion, and "Civil Rights" to the Provinces. The main question to be considered is under which of these such legislation falls. The answer mainly depends upon what is considered the real body of the legislation. If it be to stamp as irreligious or immoral certain 251 nets of individuals done on the Lord's Day, and therefore to make them offences, there is no doubt great force in the contention that the legislation belongs to the Biibjcct mutter " Criminal Law." If, on the other hand, the true object be, as we biliwVG it is, to preserve for all people the right to enjoy th« Lord's Day as a day of rest, and opportunity for worship, and if the legislature seeks to accomplish this result by regulating the exercise of "Civil Rights" in carrying on business or doing work, the legislation would seem clearly to fall within "Civil Rij,'lits." It is important to note that this discussion involves a question fundamental to the \v lole subject and a judgment holding that Lord's Day legislation comes within "Civil Rights" will have a valuable indiiect effect in strengthening the position of those who seek to uphold such legislation. 2. These various matters, no doubt, belont;- to the Dominion as subjects for legislation, but it by no means follows that i^r^rsons engaged in these various classos of business and work are therefore for all puri)ost's made subject to the oxchisive legislative authority of parliament. The iraporta'it question yet remains wlutlier in spite of railways, etc., being as such made subject to parliiinuMit, tlioso eiiiiiigod upon them are not at the same time subject to the law of the Province which regulates the carrying on of all business and all work so as to preveut it on the Lord's Day. As to ships the question is a practical one at present. The Alliance has just a few days ago had representations made from Fort William as to 150 to 200 men being obliged to labor there last season on the Lord's Day in loading and unloading vessels. Until recent years in all these matters the law of the Province has to a very great extent been complied with, but recently there has been a great devel- opment in Sunday labor in all these. As to (!anals, in 1883 an attempt was made to enforce the law of the Province, and one, Berriman, a lock tender on the Welland Canal, was lined. Tiie convic- tion was afterwards quashed by the High Court on the ground that the defendant was a servant of the Crown. We dispute the soundness of this decision, and propose to contend that the Provincial Act does apply to those laboring on the canals. In (6) the matters referred to are postal service, navigation and shipping, international and interprovincial ferries. 3. This is one of the most vicious principles ever applied to the interpreta- tion of the Act. It seems quite clear that part of the very genius of the Act ought to be its impartial application to the w'hole community. There is not i. particle of doubt that the words were originally intended to be general. Under this rule many classes are exempt. For example, the cab driver, musician and street car company. In the Hamilton case, Judge Osier based his judgment upon ejusidem generis, .Tudge INIacleMnan based liis judgment upon the point that corpor ations as such are not allected by the Act. Jliief Justice linrton took both grounds. By this rule the .\ct is practically limited to the classes enumerated, although theoretically, others may be brought in as being ejusdem generis. Some of the highest courts in England have in recent years taken a view upon the ejusdem generis principle entirely different from that adopted by our Co.urt of A])peal. There ia therefore good ground for hoping that ultimately the words of the Act will be interpreted in accordance with the real intention of the Act. 4. In the Hamilton case two judges expressed the view that as the penally sections of the Act cannot be made applicable to corporations, therefore corpora- tions are not within the prohibition of section 1. In case this view should ultim- ately prevail, it is intended by this question to ascertain whether those employed by the corporation would be within section 1. In the Midland elevator case the Queen's Bench Divisional Court held that as a railway company is not within the Act (i.e., on the Hamilton case) the servant of the railway company is not within the Act. With due respect to that Court, it does not seem to us that there is any 252 "i <'-t reasonable ground for taking this position. It is perfectly consistent with what is said in the Hamilton case, that an individual should be within the Act, provided the business or work done by him is included. 5. This question suggests a definition of the words "conveying travellers." which we think to be the only sound one. In the Hamilton case Judge Rose was of the opinion that the i)cr.son carried a few hundred yards on the street is a "traveller." An important fact, however, is that in the Court of Appeal tlip present Chief Justice, who then presided, expressed a .strong opinion in favor oC the contention of the Alliance, although in that case in was not necessary for him to express any opinion on the point. 6. It does not seem necessary to add to what is said above. 7. This question speaks pi-etty well for itself. It is an attempt to settle tlie principles upon which the words "work of necessity" are to l»e interpreted in their api)lijcation, more especially to one matter, viz., manufacturing industries. If the one word " 'iccessfully" were .struck out from (c) it would seiMii reasonable to answer all thret- points of the question in the aHirmative. It would probably serve no useful purpose to attenijit in a short memoranthim to discuss tiie very complicated matters which it will be necessary to consiiler inider this question. One point, however, is reasonably clear, and that is, that however these questions may be answered there will still remain in the case of each manu- facturing industry the particular question of fact whether certain work is or is not " of necessity." The word "successfully" is not in the draft of questions prepared by the Alliance, but was inserted by the Attorney-General. The great ditliculty about this word seems to be that it needs itself to be defined. Your Committee has no recommendation to offer. That belongs more fittingly to the Committee on Church Life and Work. We desire to thank very heartly Mr. A. E. O'Meara for his " Memorandum of the Statutes of the Various Provinces," as well as for facts about the "Present Condition of Legislation." We note with pleasure the forward step whicli tlie Dominion Lord's Day Alliance has taken in appointing the Rev. J. G. Shearer Field Secretary, and we hereby pledge him our hearty support. Believing that a day of weekly rest and the opportunity for public worship safeguarded by legislative enactment is a possession of priceless value to the sons of toil and to all others, especially in this busy age, we earnestly ask all members of our Church to heartily support all efforts at safeguarding its sanctity and preserving it for the future free from the inroads of unnecessary labor, pleasure- ■eeking and gain. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. R. DRUMMO^■D, Couvemr. 253 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH SCHOOLS, 1899-1900. To the Venerable the General Assembly : The report uow placed in your hands contains much that is exceedingly encouraging. There are features of it, however, which demand very serious thought from our whole Church. 1. The increase in the number of Schools and of scholars reported is grati- fying. The question might be asked, however, is this increase due to increased activity in Sabbath School work or is it due to more accurate reports than in the preceding years? It is also necessary to note that even yet, if we compare the report with the lacts contained in Mr. Peck's appended statement, there are many of our Presbyterian children who are not in our Schools. Where are they? Many no doubt are being taught at home,, but very many are to be found either in the schools of other denominations, and are in danger of being lost to the Presbyterian Church, or are receiving no religious instruction at all, and are in danger of being lost altogether to the Church of Christ. This is the Hrst year we have a column which contains reports regarding the Home Dei)artment. The meagreness of these reports shows that this very im- portant branch has not yet taken firm hold of our Church. It is hoped that it may be rapidly extended in our congregations, as it not only makes provision for those who are not able to attend the Sabbath School, but it is calculated to unite more closely the Sabbath School and the home in the religious training of the young. 2. The Training in the Schools. — It will be noticed that there is a dec"ded increase in the number of those committing Scripture to memory, also the Shorter Catechism. It is generally felt, however, that there is serious defect in the sys- tematic study of the Bible, and that ignorance of its simplest truths is sadly prevalent. This is perhaps partly due to the fragmentary nature of the lessons in the past. There is an improvement in this respect and we hope for better things in the future. Our best and most faithful teachers say it is due very largely to the fact that no systematic etlbrt is being nuide to train the teachers to teach : that witli only about half an hour each week at theii disposal tliey cannot hope to accomplish much, unless they are familiar with the best methods of imparting instruction. They are pleading earnestly for the establishment of classes where they can receive the instruction which tliey so nuich need. Can something not be (lone to render more efficient the labours of the devoted men and women who are teaching in our Schools? A discouraging feature of this '•eport is the decrease in the number of those who are coming into full comnuniion with the Churcih from the Sabbath School. Since 1896 the number has each year been decreasing. Why is it? Are the claims of Christ and His Church urged upon the young as they shonld be? Surely all our labour is in vain if it does not result in the surrender of these young lives to Him who died for them and lives fcv them. No forward movement which claims our advocacy is to be compared in importance with that which will secure the leading of the children to Christ and building them up in Christ. 3. Loyalty to the Missionary Work of Our Church. — The reports show that a considerable sura has this year been raised for missionary objects in advance of last 254 '! '. ■: fl'i i' '•' ;«l.l jj ' ' -^ 1/ 1 '■ 1 i' ■ 't 'i ■'i ' 9 1" -, <' '' 'i !; i. ~% year. With the exception of cboiit $2,000 this increase is tl»e outcome oi' tlio Children's Day coUection for the Century Fund. It is j^ratiiyiug to notice tliat tlic collection on Children's J)ay did not in the least interfere with the sum raised lur Schemes of the Ciiurch. It has been, no doubt, a stimulus to uiu" people in tluir giving to the Century Fund that tbe children, who with the ministers took the lead, resi)onded so nobly. It is sitcserely hoped that next Children's Day will indicate tiiat the interest the young have taken in this forward movement of llic Church has deepened and widened. A comparison with other Ciuirches in Canada and the I'liited States will show that much yet renuiins to be done in the direction of educating the young to give. In the United States in some of the Churchis they have the Sabbath School organized as a missi<»nary association and give the children systematic instruction in the Sfcliemes of the Church. No doubt that is done with us to a certain extent, but not by any means as thoroughly as it should. If we had more deiinite instruction with regard to the work our Clnnv^h is doiiiu in the iiome and thi^ foreign field, not only would v/o have larger contributions now, but the young would be led to see that tliere is no mission work more important than that in whicii our Church is engaged, there is none more wisely or economi- cally administered, and there is none the results of which are more satisfactory. We need to sound in our Sabbath Schools the note of loyalty to our Church in lur missionary work. There are other features of the work in the Schools which already exist, to which, did space permit, it would be well to call attention. Tliere' is one subject whicl) has occupied the thought of your Committee which must not be overlooked, namely ,Sa/>6<»//( School Extension. In the older -jarts of our coiuitry there are many large congregations where the people drive four and live miles to church. 'I'lic children find it impossible to attend the central school. In many cases they are to be found in the schools of other denominations in the neighbourhood, and in not a few instances they afterwards leave the church of their fathers and become faithful members of the church which in their childhood made provision for their spiritual instruction. In many of these large congregations branch schools have been organized. This has, however, not been done as universally as could be desired. If we are to hold the young for our own Church, there must be a forward move- ment in this direction. Then, in the newer parts of our country which are beini; opened up and rapidly settled, there are many districts where it will be impossible for some time to establish i-egular Sabbath services. In every one of these districts the Sabbath School could be made a powerful agency in keeping the people in touch with the Church and with spiritual things. There is not a locality, it matters not how sparsely settled, where there could not be found godly men and women who would undertake this work, if schools were organized and if they felt they had the .sympathy, prayers and co-operation of the whole Church. Sabbath School extension in the newer parts of our couutry is an absolute necessity if we are to hold our Dominion for Christ. The question might be asked, what is your Committee doing to help forward the work in our Scliools? The reports appended show what has been done during the past year. The Statistical Report reflects credit on Mr. Peck, the statistical secretary, and also on the ditlereut Synod and Presbytery conveners. The accurate and full returns are the result of most pefseveriug etlbrt on the part of all. Your Committee, by correspondence with all the Presbytery and Synod conveners, endeavoured to .secure Presbyterial visitation of the Schools. The statis- tical returns show that we have only been jtartially successful, but where it has been accomplished the most gratifying results have followed. The visiting has not been inquisitorial in its nature, but has been such as to encourage and stimu- late. It is hope 1 thai during this ye;u' many more Schools will be reached in the older parts of the country. In the more siiarsely settled districts it seems impos- sible, owing to the great distances, to accomplish much by this instrumentality. It is strongly I'elt that something more thorough and systematic in the w-ay of ov'ersight .;hould be attempted than has hitherto prevailed. In other churches agents have been appointed who have devoted their whole time to the oversight of schools already in existence, and to the organizing of new schools. The results 255 have been such as to justify the appuiDtmeut. This method of overtaking the work in our Church was suggested and so forcibly advocated in your Committee tliat it was unanimously resol"?d that all the facts regarding the condition of our Schools should be laid before this Assembly. In accordance with that resolution tlie paper prepared by Mr. Peck has been appended to this report and the Assembly is respectfully asked to consider it. Your Committee does not suggest what should be done, but it is felt that our Church only needs to know the facts in order that she may be roused to action. A forward movement in Sabbath School Avork is needed. When Sabbath Schools were first organized they were intended for neglected children. They have become an integral part of the Church, and we have now rea(!hed a point where, if we do not make our schools elHcient, the future oj" our Church will be seriously affected. It is true that, after all, the success of the Sabbath School work jjrimarily depends on the minister, superintendents and teachers in the individual Schools, with the active co-operation of the parents in the home. No man or number of men or committee can make the work successful, if there is not fidelity there. Yet it is felt that some supreme effort ought to be made to so reach every School that every Sabbath School worker and every scholar in the remotest parts of our country would feel the warm heart of our Cliurch beating in sympathy with the work in which they are engaged. STATISTICS. Rev. W. W. Peck, Secretary of Statistics. In presenting their report to Assembly on Sabbath School Statistics your Committee would ask attention to the very marked increase reported in nearly all departments of the work. It is evident that in a number of our Synods and Presbyteries, Conveners and their Committees have done faitlif ul service during' 1899. For a summary statement of Sabbath School Statistics your attention is directed to the table that is appended. The foUowiui^ analysis will explain, however, some features of the report. SCHOOLS. For 1899 we report 2,(598 ordinary schools — an increase of 2fiO— and 120 Home Department Schools, a total increase of 380 scliools. The increase of 200 ordinary schools is distributed as follows : Synod of Maritime Provinces .30 Montreal and Ottawa ;]6 Tor .ito and Kingston 57 Hamilton and London 54 Manitoba and North- West 56 • British Columbia 27 Of the 2,098 schools 135 are not reported in the returns for 1899. Repeated eftbrts to secure reports have brought no response from them. The 1.35 schools are distributed as follows : — Synod of Maritime Provinces 39 " Montreal and Ottawa 41 " Toronto and Kingston 28 " Hamilton and London 5 " Manitoba and North-West . .' 17 " British Columbia 5 • It is but fair to add that in the Western Synods the small number of non-reportiug schools does not indicate that all schools have reported. It rather indicates that, on account of distances, etc., there area number of schools still unknown to Conveners. •Ji':^ 266 OKKICKRS, TEACHERS ANI» HCHOt.ARS, In 1899 in tho 2,503 ordinnry schools that have r ported we Imd 21,010 oHicerH ami teachers — a j?ain of 2,025— ind 177,098 scholars— a gain of 17,548. Counting the ."{."N- roported in Home Department Hchools we have in the reported schools 202,490 in fit tendance--an increase of 23,355. This increase, due largely to better returns, is (lis tributed a. follows : — Synod Maritime Provinces 3,070 " Mcmtreal and Ottawa 2,2(M» " Toronto and Kingston 9,431 " Hamilton and London 3,303 " Manitoba !:ad North-West 4,0()5 " Britiah Columbia 1,340 SCHOOLS OLOSKl) DUHINO PAKT OK THE YEAR. Of the schools reporting 1,047 are open all the year and 91(5 are closed during i)art nf the year. The schools closed during a part of the year are mainly in the cities and ()ii mission helds. COM.MITTING HCRIPTUKE. One thousand nine hundred and four schools report 78,740 children — a gain of 27,333 — committing scripture to memory. Six hundred and tifty-nine schools make no report and the conclusion is that in these schools no attention is paid to this matter. COMMITTINii SHORTER CATECHISM. One thousand seven hundred and seven schools report 07,981 scholars committing the Catechism to memory. This is a gain of 0,(i30, though 85(5 schools — one third of all reporting — make no mention of scholars committing the Catechism to memory. GRADING OF SCHOOLS. Nine hundred and thirty-six schools report that they are graded by age, andr491 report that they are graded by recitation, or by age and recitation. The remaining 1,13(J schools did not seem to know whether they were graded or not. At least three of our Synod Conveners claim that the reports show that there are very few schools "graded" in the pedagogic sense of the term. NUMBER OK NEW COMMUNICANTS. Of our 2,503 schools, 937 report 3,777 scholars becoming members in full communion during 1899. Seemingly from 1,020 of our schools there were none that could be reported. Special attention is drawn to the reports of the last four years. ^ In 1890 with a total attendance of 108,225 we reported 4,728 new communicants. In 1897 " " 17:^,118 ' 4,027 " In 1898 " " 179,141 ' 3,847 " In 1899 " " 202,490 ' 3,777 " Our attendance has been constantly increasing and the number entering into full communion has been constantly decreasing. In 1890 of every 10, 1 in attendance 281 became members in full communion during the year. In 1899 of e. . 10,000 in attend- ance 180 becune members in full communion during the year. teachers' meetings. ♦ Of the 2,503 schools 288 regularly hold \ichers' meetings for the study of the lesson, and for consultation as to how Sabbath School work may be done more efficiently. Seemingly the remaining 2,275 schools are satisfied with present riiethods and results. .«,, 9k 257 SKSSIOX A I, VIJSITATION. Lust yetir the A98eml)ly recommended "to nil Syiiodsand PreHhyterie8 the personal (tviTsij^ht of their schools l)y personttl visitHtion while in session." In Hccordance with the (vhove, schools were iisked to report as to whether or not they had l»een visited (a) l»y a rejiresentative of the Session (l>) by a representative of Presbytery's Sabbath School t'oimnittee. Of the 2,5G;5 schools reporting,' 257, or about ten per cent. , report that they have been visited during the year l)y a representative of the Session. The Rules and Forms of I'rocedure adopted by the General Assembly of 1H8!> states that "the duty of the Session is to watch over and promote in every scriptural way the spiritual interests of the con- i;re!,'ation, to care for the religious instruction of the young, including the oversight of Sfibl)ath Schools, etc." ' ■ I'KKSHYTKKIAI, VISITATION. In thirty-one of our Presbyteries no visitation of Sabl)ath Schools by a represent- ative of the Presbytery's Committee was attempted. In all 199 schools in twenty-one Presbyteries were visited. The Montreal Presbytery reports that eighty-four of its schools were visited. The Ottawa Presbytery reports that forty-four of its schools were visited. Nineteen other Presbyteries report seventy-one achoojp visited — an aver- age of about four for each Presbytery. There is reason for thinking that the four schools in each Presbytery were either on the tield occupied by the I'resbytery's Con- vener or on a field occupied by some member of his Committee. CONTRIBL'TIONS. In 18*J9 for the support of Sabbath Schools, congregations contributed .^11, 10.'^ and the Sabbath Schools themselves contributed 854,7 lit ,!^l' 258 H.-inaHEH RELTGTOUS INSTRUCTION. In view of the action of kst Cienoral Assembly, your Committee decided to drop tliu Hchoine of Higher lleligious Instruction. Before, however, it was po8sil)le to take action, it was found that a large number of scholars had entered on the quarterly examinations of last year and were committing the Shorter Catechism to memory with a view tn securing Diphmias. Feeling contident that it would be the wish of the Ansemhly tlmt faith should bo kept with those who had entered on the work, all who had begun were permitted to complete the examinations. The correspondence in connection with tliig proved to the Committee that there is a very strong and widespread desire that some- thing should be done by the Church to encourage the memorizing of Scripture and the Shortor Catechism. Hence the recommendation which will be brought before the Assembly with regard to Diplomas. III.— FINANCES. It is gratifying to be able to report that the contributions received in response to the appeal made in connection with Children's Day amounted to 810,844.05. De- ducting the amount for printing and other accounts, $(>75.08, there remains a balance of $10,108.07, which, with interest §55.79, has been transferred to the Century Fund. Since the closing of the books on March .'Ust, accounts amounting to $!)5.4ti have been paid. These were part of the unpaid liability reported to the last Assembly. RECOMMENDATIONS. The following recommendations are suggested for adoption by the General Assemlily : 1. That Synods and Presbyteries exercise care in the selection of Sabbath School (conveners, and that, for greater etlectiveness in the work, these be not too frequently changed. 2. That all Sabbath Schools be visited while in session by representatives of Session, and also, where possible, of Presbytery ; such visitation not to be inquisi- torial, but for the encouragement of the teachers, officers, and scholars, and the improvement of methods of work. 3.' That a Home Department be established in connection with each school, as tending to develop family reMgion ; to increase interest in and attendance at tlu Sabbath School and public worship ; and, through companionship of young and old in study, to stimulate to more systematic and thorough searching of the Scriptures. 4. That pastors and SabbUth School superintendents be urged to encourage the memorizing of Scripture and of the Shorter Catechism by the young ; and that as a stimulus to this : — (1) A diploma from the General Assembly be given to any pupil of a Sabbath School who is certified by the superintendent or minister iu charge, to have accurately repeated the whole of the Shorter Catechism at one continuous sitting ; and (2) A similar diploma be given to any pupil who is certi- fied by the superintendent or minister in (charge, to have accurately repeated Scrii)ture memory vei'ses, to be specially selected, to the lumiber of two hundred, or thereabout, at one continuous sitting ; candidates to be eligible for both diplomas. 5. That the General Assembly heartily commend for use in Sabbath Schools and families the series of Lesson Helps and illustrated papers now provided by the Committee on Sabbath School rnblications, as furnishing excellent assistance iu the study of the Scriptures, and as calculated also to interest the young in their own Church and its enterpises, and to foster an intelligent Christian patriotism. G. That parents and teachers be exhorted to more earnest and p' .lyerful effort to bring the young, through the influence of the Holy Spirit, to a saving know- ledge of the truth and to a recognition of the claims upon them of Christ and His Church. 269 '\ drop the » view to 3Jlll)ly t),,jt egun Wore with this H'ld the f'>''e the 7. That, in view of the fact, as made cvidt'iit in the Kojiort, tliat there !• still rciDiu for a wider extension of Sahhatl' ■*cliool worl\, and as a lirst step towan Init cimI, it bean instruction to Sessions an contri- butions, and urge upon the schools, in the disposition of their moneys, to give jtrior claim to the Schemes of their own Church. All of which is respectfully submitted.

The followitisj is -in abatr-tct Ukeii fro:u the "Minutes of Proceedings" ni the September meeting (1891)) of the rjenenil Assembly's Sabbath School Committee : "The Rev. \V. W. Peck gave notice of motion that, in view of the reports received from the Synodical and Presbytery Conveners, he would move at the next regular meet- ing of this Committee, that this Sabbath School Committee recommend to the General Assembly, the appointment of Synodical Sabbath School Missionaries, the salaries and the expenses of uaid missionaries to be paid out of " Children's Day Collection." I wish to bring before you, as a member of this Assembly's S. S. Committee, sdnie facts as to the present condition of our work. I wish to point out what other branclu-s of the Church are doing, and try to show that, whether the above motion is or is not carried, the present condition of our work calls for some decided action on the part of the Committee. I. THE CONDITIONS CALLING FOR 1>KCIDED ACTION. By resolution of the last General .Vssembly the Synod Conveners wert 3commended to consult together in regard to "enrollment," "conduct" and "contributions' of schools within their respective bounds. Their attention was drawn by letter to tlie following position and, they were asked to report to the September meeting of the Committee : First, — According' to the ref)ort presented to the last Assembly, our " enrollment' is far behind what it might be. One half of our young people of " scho(.)l age " are not reached at all. Second, — Under the head of "conduct" it appears that only about one-third memorize Scripture or Catechism, a large propor.ion of schools close part of the year, remarkably few "teachers' " meetings are held and a very small number of scholars are joining the Church. Third, — Under the head of "contributions" about $L*5,(XJ0 of the collections have been given to the Schemes of our Church and §10,000 to other objects." The letter continues, "These defects are not now and you may have been trying to overcome them, therefore your experience and that of your committee will be valuable ; what would you suggest to be done ! " The following are extracts taken from the answers of the Synodical Conveners :— 1. Maritime Provincen. — Recommends formation of Synodical S.S. Associations and that each presbytery hold a meeting once a year for discussion of doctrinal and practical topics in the best interests of Sabbath School work. He adds, "Undoubtedly sutiiciLiit attention has not been given to our Sabbath School work in the past. " 2. Montreal (Did Otlaiva. — Recommends systematic visitation of all schools and that Teachers' conventions and institutes be held by all Presbyteries, and adds: "So many things need to be done that one is apt to be disheartened. Our enrollment is defective. Our school rooms and their appliances, such as heating, blinds, seats, maps, black- boards, reading matter, etc., etc., need consideration. We need to emphasize Teacner Training, Home Department, Cradle Roll, Supplemental Lesso .. , Collections for Schemes. * * * It does seem that the desire for Sabbath School workers, or agents, or missionaries, expressed in some districts, deserves very careful consideration. 3. Toronto and KiH(iston. — The Convener suggests the emphasizing of systematic visi- tation of all schools. Presbytery Ctmventions, Home Department Work and Grading of Schools, and adds "The consideration of the whole field and its present condition leads to the conclusion that Sabbath School missionaries to oversee the work are needed in each Synod." 4. Manitoba and North-West, — The Convener refers to the great distances of the West and points out that visitation of schools is desirable but almost impossible by busy pastors. He writes : " The question of Presbyterial visitation is deemed quite out of the line of what is practical, except in connection with general exchanges these ministers may make. Others have not time, nor generally the means, required for direct Sabbatli School visit! each other,! tribute, on what is < ,-).

Britiult Columbia. — The Convener writes: "Last year, to reach the scattered families, the Home Department was tried at fifty places where no schools existed, but after six months we had to give it up for lack of money to buy supplies. The mission- aries spoke in gratifying terms of the benefit." * * * The real need of this whole district is a Sabbath School missionary to visit all our schools and neglected districts and supervise the work. But for lack of money we would have had one before now." In the "Pastoral Address" of Rev. Dr. Campbell, Moderator of Assembly, issued .September, 1899, there is the following : " Other messages come to us through the Life and Work, the Sabbath School and the Young Peoples' Societies' Reports." " Come thou and all thy house into the ark " is the first special word which is set before us here. There is apathy. There is indifference. There is a falling off in attendance at Sabbath services in some quarters. Our ranks are not being filled as we might reasonably expect. This is the undertone which runs through reports that have much in them that is cheering." As secretary of the Committee on Statistics I was asked by Rev. R. D. Fraser to pre()ar3 for the Teachers' Monthly, (February, 1900), an article on " Attendance at Sabbath Schools." The following is an extract : "The teachers and the Church will sutt'er four plain questions in reference to the number of scholars enrolled in our Sabbath Schools. 1. Has the attendance kept pace with the increased Presbyterian population of Canada ? According to the last census returns (1890) the population of Canada was 4,83.S,2.'i9. Tliese returns also estal)lished that out of every 10,000 people in Canada, l.oO.S were Presbyterians. In 1890, then, there were 755,320 Presbyterians in Canada, and of these l.")4,0!(2, or less than eighteen per cent., were reported as attending our Sabbath Schools. Tlie Dominion Statistician points out that four-tenths of the Canadian population are between the ages of five years and twenty years ; if so, then in 1890 there were 302,130 Presbyterian children, taking tbut term as indicating those between the ages mentioned. In 1898, though, it is estimated that the population has increased from 4,833,2.39 to .5,000,000, we reported to the General Assembly but 160,150 children in our Sabbath Seliools. 2. Has the attendance in our Sabbath Schools kept pace with the increased attend- ance in Canadian Sabbath Schools as a whole '. According to accurate reports made by Provincial Associations to the Ninth Inter- national Convention, held at Atlanta, Georgia, in April last, in the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Ontario, 113 counties out of 171 reported 002,312 children in attendance at Sabbath Schools organized by various denominations. Taking the census of 1890 again as a l)asis, of these 002,312 children, 1'), 148 ought to be Presbyterians, and perhaps were, but instead of reporting 1(50,148 in the 113 counties, we reported to the last Assembly 140,012 in the 171 counties. .3. Has the advance in C-bbatli School attendance ke[)t pace with the advance in other departments of our Church s work ? Since the Union of 1875, the number of our ministers has increased from 64() to 1,488, or 1.30 per cent., our membership from 88,228 to 212,020, or 140 per cent., our income for all purposes, from 8982, ()72 to ^2,511, 175, or 155 per cent. ; but the attend- ance at Sabbath Schools only increased from 79,204 to 100,150 or 104 per cent. The reports received from conveners for 1899 continue to emphasize the unsatis- factory condition of our work. While better methods of collecting statistics have resulted in more schools reporting, still in nearly all the cities we are not holdinu our own numerically, and there seems tmi»osed of earnest, consecrated laymen, who have given evidence not only of irrej)roachable Christian character, but of the possession of such intellectual gifts and attainments as to command the respect of those among whom they are called to labour. All are men of experience in Christian work, and the results of their labour in general fully justify the wisdom of their appointment. The work of the.se Saljbath School missionaries consists in the organization, and, where necessary, the re-organization of Sabbath Schools, the distribution of Christian literature ; house to-house visitation • formation of Home Departments ; holding of evangelistic services ; opening of preaching stations, and other varieties of evangelistic labour incidental to the main purpose of organizing Sabl)ath Schools. This fact deserves emphasis : These missionaries of our Board of Publication and Sal)bath School Work are Presbyterian missionaries, dointc a distinctively Presl)yterian work ; they are not engaged in a nondescript evangelization. They are engaged in the work of planting .seed that will spring up into Presbyterian schools and Presbyterian churches. From the very nature of the case, it sometimes hapjiens that the school organized must be of a union or undenominational character. This, though not the best, may be the best under the cir- cumstances. But only where a distinctively Presbyterian school is impossible is a union enierprise encouraged. It is better than nothing. But the Board proceeds on the jirinciple, and the Conmiittee is confident that the Assembly will approve the policy, that so far as is practicable, Presbyterian money should be spent for the spread of a distinc ively Presbyterian Gospel. This policy is in no wise inconsistent with the truest and most generous catholicity. There is neither virtue nor sense in any form of interdenom- inatiim which ignores or belittles denominational conviction and denominational loyalty and self-respect. Union schools and union churches may sometimes be necessary, because of certain peculiar circumstances, but not infrcijuently has it been found that 1 r**! .;>* 8t ,| i:.'^' .266 their tendency is to produce a type of Christianity sadly lacking in vigorous and aggres- sive activity, and cliaracterizod mainly by intellectual inanity and pious sentitnentitlisni and insipidity. During the past year the missionaries of the Board organized 848 Sabbath Schools, and re-organized 319 more, with u total enrollment of 42,079 scholars and teachers. They distributed 5,873 copies of the Word of God and 14,433 other volumes of Christian literature. They also distributed 5,699,781 pages of Lesson Helps, tracts and periodicMJs published by our Board. In their house-to-house visitation in localities destitute of the regular ordinances of the Gospel, they found entrance into 74,828 homes, and in eacii of these they left some seed which, by God's grace, may spring up to the glory of His name. They delivered 12,049 public addresses, travelled 015,273 miles, and report 1,88- conversions. As illustrating the practical efficiency of the work of our Sabbath Schoo missionaries the fact may be cited that in this State of Minnesota alone, out of the l,.5(J0l schools organized by the missionaries of the Board during the past eleven years, 140 have grown into churches, 108 of wliich are Presbyterian, with an approximate membership of 3,000. About sixty of these Presbyterian congregations have erected houses of wor- ship with an estimated value of $140,000, a sum vastly in excess of all that the Board has expended upon the work in this State. The report of 1896 says : "Since we began this work eight years ago, there have been 1,539 new Presbyterian churches organized, including those reported from Foreign Mission Fields. Of this total 418, or twenty-six per cent., have grown out of our Sab- bath School missionary work. Brethren, this tree is a fruit bearer." The report of 1900 says : *' We have positive information of the existence at the present time of 3,790 Sabbath Schools organized by the missionaries of this Board and of 459 Presbyterian churches which have been developed from these churches. A lari,'e number of churches of other denominations have also grown out of schools o-'janized l)y our missionaries." HOW COULD WE MKET THE EXPENSE ? In 1898 the Children's Day Collections were devoted to the payment of the balance of the Publications debt. In many places the response was slight, yet §4, 194.37 was raised. In 1899 the Children's Day Collections were devoted to the Century Fund, and 810,000 was asked to be raised du"ing the year. From July 1st to March 1st — eight months— $10,242.01 was raised. See March Record, page 93. Those who ought to know claim that if a forward movement of Sabbath School work were rightly presented to our schools there would be a far greater response. These facts and figures are presented to you to remind you of the present condition of our Sabbath School work and to point out that my motion does not ask for some uncertain and untried thing. To ask pastors or laymen already burdened with work to undertake this additional Sabbath School work is manifestly a mistake. We need care- fully selected men to devote their whole time and energy to this work — men who will organize and lead forward the forces that now exist and are but waiting for leadership. Hoping with you, that some action may at once be taken to appoint some person or persons to devote their whole time and energy to this work of placing our schools, in membership and in effective work, in that position their importance demands.

The Committee in looking over the various Reports are chieHy impressed with their incompleteness. Notwithstanding constant reminders many societies fail to report. One Presby- tiuy's Convener says : " This year forty-five blanks were sent out to the different churches Hiid mission stations, and l)Ut fourteen were returned with the desired information." Tlicn, many reports that come in are so carelessly prepared, so contradictory on the face of them, as to be of little value. This may be said also of some Presbytery Reports. A different method of computing meml)ers makes a seeming lose of ;S00 members in one I'lesljytery where there has been an actual increase in active and associate memljers. ISomotimes total mimbership is reported with no division into active and associate inoiiil)ers ; frecjuently there is no report of the number of members who are young men Kiul young women, or who are church members. Little reliance, theref(jre, can be placed on the statistics given, and they afford a jjoor basis of comparison from year to year. DECREASE IN MEMBERSHIP AND INTEREST. Though there is a slight increase in the immber of societies reported as known, it is evident from the tone of all Presbytery Reports that the "growing time" for young people's societies has passed, and that in many sections of the Church there is serious and rapid decline. The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavour has taken a firm hold of the eastern section of the Church, and holds its own there much better than in the West. Halifax is the banner Presbytery with fifty-six societies of all kinds, and is closely^ followed by Truro with fifty-four and Prince Edward Island wita fifty-three. Truro* Presbytery is an illustration of what is possible in the way of organized work among 'he young yeople. With twenty-two congregations and four mission fields, there are forty-eight senior societies and six junior locieties of Christian Endeavour, an average of two societies for each congregati k-^U ?l'f 268 tery in the East speaks of decrease and likens it tu ''galloping consumption," whjlo many Presbyteries in the centnvl and western sections of the Church speak of decline in membership and practical work. This falling off in numbers and enthusiasm is traced by some to the passing nwny nf the novelty connected with any new movement. They believe that the foam and frotli of a first enthusiasm having been scattered to the winds, the young people an; now settling down to quiet, unromantic, every-day work for Christ and the Church, and are doing better, more solid work than ever. One good feature of the present Report is, that with a decrease of membership there has been an increase in contributions. But the majority of Presbyteries feel that there is a real loss of interest, that Christ and tiie Church are not holding the attention of our young people, or drawing out their eflort in work and study as at one time we had hoped. In many congregations Christian Endeavour Societies are disbanding or dwindling to a vanishing point, and too often nothing is taking their place. One Presbytery asks, " Is the training for service and the awakening of interest among the young people of our congregation which has in recent years proved such an inspiration to all engaged in the Master's work, and which ij;ave such i)romi8e for the future, to be only a thing of a day ? " There are some who would dismiss the whole subject with a wave of the hand say- ing, " The Christian Endeavour movement has run its course and is exhausted." lUit those to whom the future of Christ's Kingdom is dearer than life, and who, tlierefure, can never cease to be anxious about the state of religion among the young, feel that they must go behind such statements and seek the causes of exhaustion. CAUSES OF DECLINE. Presbytery Reports suggest, among others, the following causes of decline in numbers and interest : " Not suiHcient practical work to enlist and keep the interest." ' ' Desire to be entertained rather than to give thought and study to the Word of (Jod and etibrt to the work of Christ." "Too many meetings, something must be neglected." " Cards, dancing, dress and jewelry." " Blame does not lie at the door of the constitution of the Christian Endeavour Society, but in the heart of those whose loyalty to Christ and the Church once linwed forth in devoted service, but who now love too much this present world." / reason given by fully one half of the Presbyteries that speak of decline is that sessic. .8 and older people do not take the interest they should in the young people und their work. " Is there not ground to believe that, dispite all influences to the contrary, more faithful eflort on our part would result in a more encouraging Report. — Presb\jii'iij nf Frinre Edvord IsUind. " The trouble is not so much due to lack of interest and loyalty upon the pvrt of young people as on the. part of those who have the oversight. If sessions expect youii;; people to he loyal to the church and its work, the young people have a right to expect that sessions will be loyal to their interests, and offer such guidance and help as they may re((uire." — Presbytery of Huron. " The young people are not getting all the help they reijuire. Some sessions are leaving the young people severely alone." — Presb[itery of Homilton. And many others to like effect. From all this it is evident that two things are essential, if the young people of our Church are to fulfil the promise '•' past years in Christian life and work. (1) There must be a turning of the hearts of the fathers to the children, and of ministers and sessions to their young people. (2) There must be a revival of Christian zeal and missionary sjiirit through the direct operation of the Holy Ghost in the hearts of those among our young people who already confess Christ. PROBLEMS. The fact that with less than a thousand societies reported as known to exist, about 800 are known to be Societies of Christian Endeavour and forty-five junior Societies of Christian Endeavour, clearly indicates that Christian Endeavour is still the young peoples' society of our Church. In some Presbyteries, however, there seems to be a reaction against the Christian Endeavour type of meeting and the pledge ; and the ger.eral fall- ing off" in interest has raised the question whether 'he Christian Endeavour is any loiif^er the best form of society to express and develop '•■^■y Christian life of our young people ; '»« of tlecline SSillg Hway „f a and frotl, 'oplo art' now- Tch, aiui are Re|iort is, udons.

A few societies have become young peoples' associations in which the literary and social element predominate. (3thers have abandoned the pledge but remain distinctively Christian associations working upon lines very similar to those of the past. One or two have added a literary meeting to the Christian Endeavour, and a couple of others a normal class. Several ministers wishing to coiicentrate all strength in the weekly prayer-meeting, have amalgamated the Christian Endeavour with it. Mere let it 1)6 said that in many small congregations and outatatijns the Christian Endeavour takes the place of a weekly prayer-meeting or of a Sunday evening service, and old and young are members of the society active and associate. In St. John Presbytery there are five societies for the study of religious knowledge, under the leadership of the pastor, reported to have been a great success this past year ; and the Presbj'tery recommends that where the usual Endeavour work seems to lose hold, a course of Biblical and religious teaching be, as far as possible, given to keep the interest up and educate the members of the societies. In Ottawa I'resbytery nearly one third of the societies are Young Peoples' Associa- tiims which have meetings alternately, devotional, literary, social. It is noticeable that the Christian Endeavour societies have given chiefly to the Schemes of the Church, and other societies chiefly to congregational objects. The Committee of that Pres'oytery go on to say that whatever change in constitution or methods may be necessary to meet present condi- tions, they "are not hopeful of the success of any young peoples' organization which exists chiefly for social objects, for literary pursuits as for the purpose of raising money. If our young people are to be held together, especially if our young men are to be enlisted, they must be enrolled with a motive more abs.* 2T0 would have fewer restraining^ and uplifting intluences thrown around him were it not for the loving ministries, the kindly thouyhtfuliiess and the consecrated enthusiasm of niem- mombers of Young Peoples' Societies." PLAN OF STl'OY. At the last meeting of the General Assembly the following commendation and suggestion was made : "The General Assembly would repeat the commendation given by previous Assemblies to the Plan of Study in its general features, and, in view of the demand fnim several quarters for a more systematic study of the Scriptures in the Young I'eopli-s' meetiii!,'H, would suggest to the Committee to consider whether this may not be arranged for in the Plan of Study, in addition to the ground already coverod The Committee, at their meeting in Septenilar, 1809, gave much consideration to tliia ([uestion of introducing a more systematic study of the St. 'tures in the Young Peoples' meetings, but were convinced that the time had not yet come when any large number nf our societies would be willing to set aside the "Uniform Topics" suggested by the United Society of Christian Kndeavo ir, for some more systematic course of study. Accordingly the Plan of Study was tiHnued on the same general basis as befoie a question each week from tho Short*: '. ktechism and special monthly topics on the missions of our own Church, the Bible a ' he Book of Praise, as follows : For week beginning .January 21 — Century Fund Evening. February l.S — Korea .)ur latest Foreign Mission Field. March 18 — llo' ae Old Testament grow. April 15 — Hiyrtf the New Testament grew. May 'JO — Work and Workers in the Yukon »nd Northern Gold Fields, June 17 — How we got our English Bible. July 15 — The Presbyterian Cliurch throughout the World. August 19 — The Place of Soiig in Christian Worship. (The History of Sicred Song from Apostolic Days until the Present, suggested as a Study.) Our Work among the Indians in N. W. Territories and British Columbia. September 1(5 Ootobei 21 — The Book of Praise— The Psalter. -suggested as a Study ) (" The Psalms in History " November 18 — ( )ur Honan Mission. December l(i — The Book of Praise — Hymns 1-34. An article on each monthly topic appears in the preceeding month's Jtecurd. The Committee desire to expre,ss their thanks to the writers who in response to the ro(iuest of the Convener have so willingly rendered this service to the young people of our Church. The total number of societies reported as having adopted the Plan of Study in wlxdo or in pari, is 352, al)out one society in tliroe. Truro Presbytery reports: "Twelve out of forty-tive Christian Endeavour Societies tried the Plan, sonid with excellent results. One society re{)orts failure in its adoption and the Plan has been abandoned. An impression seems to be current in some quarters that the Plan is out of harmony with the general spirit of the Christian Endeavour movement, and for this reason certain .societies have refused to adopt it. Some object to it because the subjects assigned are too difficult." The Convener then adds, " Surely such Endeavourers cling to first prin- ciples and are loath to leave them and press on to higher attainments." Barrie is the banner Presbytery in this matter, twenty-six out of forty-five societies having adopted the Plan of Study. Owen S )und Presbytery request their Committee to recommend at the June meet- ing some desirable plan of consecutive Bible reading for the use of all the young people of the Church. The Report presented to the Synod of Hamilton and Loudon says : — "The bill of fare supplied at our Y'oung People's meetings has not sufficient nourishing food in it to sustain a vigorous Christian life. There is not enough meat in the soup. The subjects of the Topic Card of the United Society of Christian Endeavour are all interesting enough, but there is no logical order ; no consecutive line of study. There is no oppor- tunity for systematic Bible study. Passages can be read bearing on these subjects every Balance From ^ Commi Balanci Travel To be ^ I 1 wettk in the year, and littlo more knuwn either about the su))jecta or the Uible in the enil than at the beijinning. Thoughtful young people are aHking what is the proHt. Ami feeling they are not repaid for the hours spen^ in theHe meetings they withdraw. In [nirt the AsHenibly'H excellent Plan of Study meets the dilHculty, but there is urgent need for its extension to cover twelve months instead of twelve weeks." .But the fiuestion arises, if only one-third of our societies can bo induced to adopt a niDiithly plan of study, could we expect a large numV)er to adopt a weekly ? Perhaps if H >,'i>()d Bible class conducted by the minister or some competent person could be made an integral part of the work of the Young Peoples' Society that might prove the best solution of the problem. The Committee are anxious that some time might be given in AHseinbly to discussion of this most vital ([uestion. TOPIC CARDS A.M> IIOOKLKTS. At the request of the Committee, Rev. R. D. Fraser, editor and manager of our Siibba^h School publications, has pul)liahed and issued a series of Topic Cards and Booklets, embracing the " Uniform Topics" of the United Society of Christian Endeavour, and the plan of study outlined by the Committee. Up to May 4th, (•,;500 Topic Cards and 14,500 Booklets had been sold, a considerable decrease on the previous year. INSTRUCTIOX OF CHILnKEN. The last General Assembly again reminded ministers, .sessions and Young Peoples' Societies of the urgent need of providing for some systematic instruction of the children in the great missionary enterprises of the Church, and instructed its committee to consider and propose to the Church such means as may seem titted to forward these desir- able ends. The Committee after due consideration passed the following resolution : — " While this Committee is convinced of the necessity t>f providing some systematic instruction of the children in the great missionary enterprises of the church, they believe chat this work can best be accomplished in the Sabbath School and would respectfully suggest to the SaV)bath School Committee the advisibility of giving certain Sundays of each year to the study of these subjects." .\ copy of this resolution was sent to the Convener of the Sabbath School Committee. PRE8BVTKRIAL OROAXIZATIOX. Seventeen Presbyteries — two in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, nine in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston and six in the Synod of Hamilton and London, have some form of presbyterial organization. Kingston, St. John and Truro have held during the year joint conventions of Young People's Societies and Sabbath Schools. Kingston reports *' this convention afforded to our various workers an opportunity to talk plainly of our distinctive features, about the needs, the strength, the weakness of our work amoiig young people. It resulted in a proposal to support a Presbyterial Missionary to organize Sabbath Schools and Young Peoples' Societies in the Presbytery and to give some supply of ordinances to mission fields left vacant durini; the winter." The Presbyterial Societies of Barrje, Owen Sound and I '^nri'-n have each undertaken to support a particular Home Missionary. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Receipts. Balance received from Rev. R. D.

The publication by our Cliurch of a paper for the youii;^', was first considered by the • limeral Assembly in .luiie, 1885, and was decided in the iic^iative. A few weeks later Till- Children's lieiord was started in ]!sew Cilasj^'ow, N.S. The issues durin<{ the re- in liiidor of the year wore reckoned as trial number'). The re>;ular issue was be^^un ■ I nuiary, 188(1, and it thus continued for live years, reaching' a circulation of 12,000, east ;i id west, and paying, ab ive its initial and current cost, $500 to the Foreign Mission Funds. In 1890 the Assembly again considered the matter, and this time decided that the Church should [luldish a paper for the young. Tin' Cliildii'u's lii^rnrd was freely and heartily transferred to the Record Committee, and during 18'.H, it was published in -Montreal under the management of Rev. \V. R. Cruikshank. On the retirement of Mr. .Tames Croil from The Hecord, imd the appointment of the present editor, at the end of 18!)1, The Children's Record was placed once more in his charge, and has since continued. With regret at parting, after a com[ianionship of fourteen years, save one, yet with satisfaction at its prospect of larger usefulness, Tlie Children's Remrd is bidden a grate- ful farewell. E. SCOTT, M.nn*»' ■•■.;s i ■ ■'% . »■, ,-■ K REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SABBATH SCHOOL rUBLICATIONS. To the Venerable the General Assembly: Your Coramittee beg to report that they are now publishing the following lesson hell's and illustkatkd papers : The Teacheks Monthly, The Home Study Qiaiiterly, The Pkimarv Qiahtkhly — Tllustrated, The Home Stcdy Leaflet, The Primary Leaflet — Illustrated, Lesson Scheme, Me.moky Passages, Jewels— Every week, illustrated, The Kino's Own— Every week, illustrated. « The Teachers Monthly was enlarged at the New Year by one-fourth, eight addi- tional pages having been added, the price remaining the same. The amount of lesson material in the Home Stioy Qiaktei'v and Homh Sirnv Leaflet wt.s, at the same period, increased l)y (.ne tliird by the r -.e of a dillercnt type. The illustrations of the lessons in the Pkimarv (.^)rARTKRLY and Primary Leai'I.kt have been much improved. They are now of a high quality of half-tone work, fmni original and ,»'• -cially made drawings. The Lesson Sche^ie, containing a schedule of lessons fur the year, with topic foi proof, etc., has been issued in response to an apparent demand. Thk Memory Passaoes are made up of complete and carefully selected Scripture passages in the line of the Sabbath school lessons, and their issue is the first step towards what, it is hoped, will be more intelligent and systematic work in the memorizing nf Scripture. The Committee have sought to ))ring the Lesson Helps to a high standard in every respect, the aim being to lead to thorough i id intelligent study of the Word of God, in order that the will of God may be more truly known and more heartily obeyed. There has been a gratifying increase in the circulation of the Lesson Helps during the year. As intimated in their report to the General Assembly of last year, the Committee arranged for the publication of a weekly illustrated paper for little children, beginninii with January Ist, 1900, and also, from the same date, after conference with the Com mitteo on The Presbyterian Record, assumed the publication of The Children's Record as a weekly, instead of a mcmthly, and freely illustrated. These papers have been given the names, respectively, of Jewels and The Kin<: >^ Own (Continuing The Children's Record). Their welcome by the Church has been prompt and generous, and the circulation has already exceeded the somewhat sanguine expectations of the Committee. No pains have been spared to make the papers attractive in appearance, and it is hoped that they will tend to (juicken the spiritual life of the young, increase their zeal for missions, and their love for home and country. Thanks are due to many ministers, missionaries and other writers, for valuable con- tributions to the Lesson Helps and Illustrated Papers. 277 lOOL OTHER SABBATH SCHOOL SUl'l'UES. Besides the carefully prepared edition of the Shorter Catechism published just previous to the last General Assembly, an edition with proofs has been issued. Care was taken, in each case, to secure accuracy and mechanical excellence, and both editions have met with a wide sale. There seems to be an increasing demand for The Shorter Cate- chism. A considerable number of orders for Colored Picture Cards and Colored Rolls, Class Registers, the Presbyterian Book of Praise, etc., have been received, and the Conmiittee are now in a position to supply all requisites for Habbuth Schooh und the Home Department at publisher's prices. V.l'.S.C.E. TOPIC CAKDS AND BOOKLETS. By arrangement with the General Assembly's Committee on Young People's Socie- ties, Y.P.S.C.E. Topic Cards and Booklets, embracing the " Plan of Study," were issued by your Committee. A SENIOR ILLUSTRATED PAPER. There has been some enquiry for a Senior Illustrated Paper suitable for the^more advanced scholars. The Committee do not as yet, however, feel justified in undertaking such a paper, but are prepared to consider it when circumstances shall appear to warrant the step. FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

The amount will form the nucleus of what, it is hoped, may become a substantial working balance, such as will greatly facilitate the carrying on and development of the business.. It is the deliberate policy of the Committee that the profits should be devoted to the improvement of the publications and the general exten- sion of tb^ busines".

For (juired, aJ the ensui| Youi menical ■^M The Hymii} Committee beg to report that, during the past year, the whole number of copies of the I'resbyterian Book of Praise, sold by the (Jxford Press, and for which Royalty was received, was 43,833. The following is a detailed list of the various editi'ms ot copies sold : Sabbath School edition 7,084 Small type edition 2l»,5!>4 Medium type edition 4,775 Large tyjte edition 1!»3 Small typo music edition 1,738 Large tyi)e music edition 2,0.34 Diamond edition, .32 mo 1,24(5 Emerald edition, 1(5 mo 174 43,838 Tt will be noticed that in this list are mentioned two editions, the Diamond and the Emerald, which have been added during the past year. The Diamond edition is a very small type volume containing the whole Jiible and Book of Praise, and is printed on India pajjcr. The Emerald edition contains the whole Bible and the small sized music •edition of the Book of Praiee, and is printed on India paper. Copies of the booklet Helps to the use of the Book of Praise have been sent to the ministers throughout the Church. Numerous requests for additional copies and many testimonies to their usefulness have been received. Additional copies mny be procured on application to the Rev. Alex. MacMillan, of Toronto, Chairman of the Committee on Music. The amount received for Royalty during the past year was $1,205.45. The sum of §1,200 has been placed in the hands of the (ieneral Agent of the Church, and, in con- formity with the actiim of last year's Assembly, two-thirds of this sum is to be allocated to the Aged aud Intirm Ministers' Fund, and one-third to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund. During the })ast year there has been hold in New York a meeting of the Joint Com- mittee of Presbyterian Churches of the United States and Canada, engaged in prei)aring a new metrical version of the Psahns. The meeting was attended by three members of our Hymnal Committee, who have furnished the following report of its proceedings : Your Sub-connnittee on Psalm Revision beg to report that the .Joint Committee met in New Y'ork on Friday, April 20th, and continued to Thursday 26th, holding nine sedentnt.s. All the members of your Sub committee were present. Notwithstanding delay in meeting, it was found that the interest in the work was unabated. The Connnittee organized and proceeded at once with the work for which it was formed. The first book of the Psalter was gone over carefully with a view to select- ing for each ])salm, from the versions before them, that which they considered the best. In twelve instances, versions other than those of the Scottish Psalter, in various metres, were selected. Tiiis does not mean that the one selected is to be the only one finally adopted. It is likely that in amxe cast's a second version will be added. The Ct)mmittee then proceeded to examine carefully each version selected with a view to making any needed emendations, and completed the first nine psalms. The work done is provisional, and will be reviewed when the Committee meets again,' as proposed, in the month of September. It was found that all the churches represented were as one in desiring to secure a revision which would adequately represent the renderings of the revised English version in the best attainable literary form. All 279 For the necessary expenses of the Joint Committee, a small fund is found to be' re ([uired, and each of the churches participating is asked to contribute the sum of ^10 for the ensuing year. • Your Sub-committee obtained the advantage of reduced railway rates to the Ecu- menical Missionary Conference. Their expenses are as follows : R. Murray $55 00 \\\ J. Dey 30 00 J. Scrimger 30 00 $115 00 All of which is respectfully submitted, W. J. DEY, , JOHN SCRIMGER, ROBERT MURRAY. In consideHng this report, it seems desirable that the Assembly should be reminded of what has been done, in previous years, regarding a new metrical version of the Psalms. The following sketch is therefore given : At the meeting of Assembly at Toronto, in 1890, an overture from the Synod of Hamilton and London was submitted, "craving the Assembly to instruct the Hymnal Committee to revise still further the whole of Rouse's version of the Psalms, or, at least, the proposed selections, making such emendations as may be suggested by the V. P. version, or ^riy other version, of the Psalms." After discussion, the following resolution was adopted : '* That the Committee be authorized to co-operate with any other PresV)y- terian church or churches in preparing a revised and improved metrical version of the whole Psalter for the use of congregations." At the next meeting of Assembly, held at Winnipeg, in 1897, the Hymnal Commit- tee reported that it had appointed three of its members, viz., Rev. Dr. Scrimger and the Rev. Messrs. Murray and Dey to attend and confer with Committees of other churches regarding revision ; and that in the month of Ap'-il a meeting of the representatives of the following churches was held in Philadelphia : First, the Presbyterian Church of the I'nited States (North) ; second, the United Presbyterian Church of North America ; third, the Reformed I'resbyterian Church c the United States ; fourth, the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Churoh of America ; fifth, the Cumberland Presby- terian Church ; sixth, the Associate Reformed Church (South) ; seventh, the Presby- terian Church in Canada ; and that this meeting was attended by two members of our Committee, the Rev. Messrs. Murray and Dey. It was also reported that, at this meeting, the following rules were unanimously adopted : First, the proposed Psalter is not to be a Paraphrase, but a metrical version, aiming at expressing the exact thought of each line of the original, in its exact connection, in perfect metrical form, and in idiomatic English. Second, That the Scottish version (that is Rouse's version, so called), in the main, be followed, as best fulfilling the above recjuirements. Third, That, as a rule, no Psalm be represented by more than two versions, and usually by one, unless second versions of commanding excellence present themselves. It was further reported that incidental expenses, which it was supposed would be small, should be divided among the churches represented, each chrrch being left to provide the travelling expenses of its representatives. It was still further reported that our representatives had raised the question whether any of the churches in Great Britain had been invited to co-operate, and that it was replied by the American Brethren that they had not been invited becaiise of the difficulty of co-cperating with churches at so great a distatice. But the door was left open to ask the co-operation of British churches. When the Assembly met in Montreal, in 1898, the Hymnal Committee reported that in regard to a new metrical version of the Psalms, they could do little more than report progress. They understood that nothing had been done as to inviting the co-operation of British churches, that there had been no general meeting, during the year, of the Committees engaged in the work of revision, but that the members had been separately at work in preparing a new version. 280 At the meeting held in Hnmilton, in 1899, the Hymnal Committee reported that they were unable to report any progress being made, during the past year, by the Joint Committee appointed to j)repare,a new metrical version of the Psalms.

In submittiug this report your Committee desire to express their gratitude to (rod for the cordial rece?)tion with whicli the scheme, U\uuched by last Assembly, has been received in all parts of the Church. Throngh the efforts of the Ceueral Agent, and of those associated witii him, it has betu brought before I'resbyt'ales and Synods, heartily endorsed by all of these, and tlie canvass enthusiastically entered upon by a large number of congregations, in some of which it has been completed. Considering the magnitude of the work, it is encouraging to know that so much has already been accomplished. The ministers led the way with generous gifts, and the congregations generally are nobly following their example. From the report of the Agent, it will be seen that upwards of 8700,000 V.ave already been subscribed, of which §301,218 is for the common fund. The Treasurers report that on May 31st, they had received !?55,601.02. The preliiiinary expenses in connection with the launching of the scheme, printing, etc., as also the expenses of the canvass amount to 86,703.06. The Sabbath Schools of the Church were asked to make a contribution of •810,000 to the fund in connection with Children's Day in September last. In re- sponse to this appeal, the sum of $10,223.86 has been received, after deducting the expenses of the Sabbath School Committee. The "Souvenir Saving Banks" which your Committee decided to issue, are being largely used and will be productive of good results. Already 33,500 of these have been sent out, and it is to be hoped that the use of them will become general in all the Sabbath Schools of the Church. Your Committee gratefully acknowledge the valuable services gratuitously given by Mr. F. B. Allan, of Toronto, in this connection. The following is the report of the Rev. Dr. Campbell, the General Agent of the fund : — REPORT OF GENERAL AGENT. The Rev. Dr. Campbell, Genera! Agent, reviewing the year's work, marks the loUowing points, which will be of interest to the General Assembly. THE KEY-NOTE STRUCK. The key-note to the success w inch has been so far attained was struck when the happy conception, almost an inspiration, came to the Committee as to the first appeal. It should be nmde, not to our wealthy members, as might reasonably have been done, but to our ministers, asking them to set their seal to the movement by contributing, on an average, one-tenth of a year's income, tluis providing one- tenth of the proposed million. The response was prompt and gratifying. Tlie at- tention of our people was arrested. They were assured oi the necessity of the movement. They were jirompted to follow the lead that had been given. Every- where the work has been easier because the minister's tenth has been assured, and that assurance has carried with it the hearty determi ution that the million must be provided. THE PRESBYTERS ENLISTED. To secure the sympathy and co-operation of every minister and elder could easily be seen to be most important. To further this your agent took an early opportunity of visiting the Presbyteries of Ontario and Quebec, and the Synods of 282 the Maritime Proviuces and of Manitoba aiul the North-West Territories. Dctiiils of the Scheme were discussed, methods of worlviug planned audsyminitliy enlisted. The movement got the right grip. Faith and enthusiasm were arou.sed. Pleducs of working support were ;,lv"n, and perhaps, thereueverhasbeenaca.se in wliicli such pledges have been so well fulfilled. With pleasant remembrances of nuidi kindness shown him by the way your agent looks back on his long joiirney, jind that the more for what has been done by his brethren in implementing their promises. There could have been no success otherwise. M GOOD WORK OF SUK-AGENTS. The serious work of reaching the people began in October, and in a fall and a winter campaign, of two mouths each, the agent has inid a willing band of beliiers. comprising a number of our hardest wrought ministers, who, though they c«uld ill afford the time, volunteered tiieir services for the work. The Assembly .sh(juld make cordial acknowledgment of the labours of this band of willing workers, for much of the real success of the movement has come through them. They orgaiii/cd congregational committees ; they unfolded the real meaning of the movement. They started the canvass on a right basis. They were invaluable, especially iu giving voice and meaning to those spiritual ideals which the Assem'Jy desired to have impressed upon our people. They have carried the message which God gave to Moses, when He sought from Israel an offering for the building of the tabernacle : "Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it.'' Thus our people understand that this is no mere money gathering, but the oflering of a grateful and willing- hearted people for the doing of ( Jod's work. Most important this, for it opens the way to those times of refreshing for which we wait and pray. I cannot close this portion of my report without a tribute to the memory of Rev. Dr. T. G. Smith, who had been made enr agent by the action of Queen's College. He, as all know, was specially adajited for such work, but in the very outset of his can\ass. he was taken sick and soon passed to his rest. He will be greatly missed in this and other departments of the Church's work. ■ t SOME DIFFICULTIES. Of course there have been difliculties and discouragements. To reach so large a field effectively one must expect to meet with these, and they need not be en- umerated. Unforseen calls have come, wliich have, to some extent, affected our work. 'J he war made necessary the Patriotic and lied Cross funds ; the famine in India has called for much help, and tiie calamity at Ottawa and Hull has not only called for lielp but has cripi)led many loyal frieiids. These worthy ob.jects were all IJressing, .lud we could wait, so we have waited when necess-.i-y, and havequii-tly moved on, so that friends might not complain. We do not complain of these difH- culties, though doubtless we could have reported larger returns had the way been clear. THE RESULTS. With thankfulness it is reported that the subscriptions actually registered and reported to the Agent by .")58 congregations have reached $709,383 and this, though the returns froiu congregations are largely incomplete. sTliere are upwards of 000 congregations, little or nothing behind those that have rei)orted in ability, ^>till to be canvassed. It looks as if, when they have been heard fi'om. the million will be assured. Of actual subscriptions, debt fund secured $408,170 and common fund !?301,208. POINTS TO BK EMPH.\SIZED. First : — The proportion that obtains Ixtweon debt and common funds bespeaks serious consideration. '-There is so nuicli to do at home." has evidently had weight. Kightly so in many cases, as I do not doubt. It was to be expected that home claims would get much attention this year. Something, too, in everyone 1 283 cxpeotii Kliis neighbour to be out of debt, and so doing largely fin* the common fund. Now we know wiiere we stand, and we have all done ou" home work justiee. For the coniiuf.' year we must gladly hear the voice which says : "Ther > is yet much land to be possessed." He who speaks has claims upon us. Those lor whom He speaks have claims. These claims we shall the more gladly recognize because, during the past year, we have seen the way to lightening the home burdens. Thus we shall taie firm hold of the common fiuid and carry it to complete success. Second: — In the light of these results the necessity of pressing the canvass to a finish in each congregation is clearly seen. What if, in any congregation, the tew who have been reached have done well I Shall that give reason for withhold- ing the privilege of contributing to this memorial fund from tiiose who, whilst giving less, will still be giving nobly? Every family and every person should have such opportunity. This was what we set out to do. This is according to the mind of Him who approved of the widow's mite. Let every congregation pledge itself to have the work fully done. Third : — It may even be suggested that, in some cases, the appeal to congre- gations should be made a second time during the coming year, and that it should be planned for and carried out on business-like lines, .so that some suitable amount may be reached. I am not thinking of those who have no mind or heart for the work, but of those who, being willing hearted, have mi.s.sed the idea of what Avas needed in such circumstances as theirs. Let us suppose a case : An old and well situated congregation of say 1:^0 comfortable families : there is nt) debt and they are Interested : canvassers go out and do their duty faithfully, and are well received by the people. The returns come in, and $400 have been subscribed and everybody is well pleased. The only dilliculty is that a common fund of !?(]00,000 cannot be raised in that way. For it must be seen thtit if a congregation w Inch is up to and even far beyond the average, only gives at the rate of $3 \)er family, whilst the average required over all the Church is s^fi, then we are bound to fail. What is the remedy? There must be .some business-like way of working. First, a consultation as to what a congregation so circumstanced should do, reaching some conclusion that shall be worthy of the cause and of what they owe to God. One thousand dollars will then be known to be a minimum, and .•^Ij-iOO more worthy of the gratitude which they would express. Then to raise that $1,000 or $1,500 a new effort on new lines, doubling, trebling, quadrupling of former gifts. It cannot be doubted that, when this point is understood, there will be many that will gladly set to work, guided by the new light. To have such couscientioas working on business-like lines is, in fact, the necessity, if the Scheme is to be really successful. Fourth: — Appeal has been made to all ranks and conditions of our people. From all ranks response has come. There have been touching incidents showing how our poorer people have denied themselves that they might have a share in the work. The large number of subscriptions between fifty and two hundred dollars, tells of the interest taken by many, in moderate circumstances, who have for years been friends and workers in the Church's service. There is, too, a goodly list of subscriptions ranging from $400 to $5,000, showing th.".* many wealthier friends have responded to the call. T.ie point which presses on the heart of your agent here is that the Church should earnestly call on aP, who have been largely prospered, to take a large share in this work. It is well known that in many cases their profits in these closing years of the century are phenomenal. Does this fact not make it urgent that, out of those God given gains, they should provide liberally for the work of God, a work which is largely for the upbuilding of our own country, and which is a prime factor in the stability and success of those business enterprises in which our wealthier men are largely interested ? As has been shown the scheme has not been made to hinge on the action of wealthy men. Understanding how often subscriptions begin and end with the few, it has been demonstrated that this matter has the interest of the many who have denied themselves on its behalf. Should it not be the case that at this stage, and during the coming year, those who have been much prospered should be appealed to, in 284 the name of God and by His Church, and for His work and for the country's weal, to crown the memorial edifice with large gifts ? It is the Church's duty to seek the good of all her members, and to emphasize this point will be to bring privilege and blessing within reach of many, who unless they be pleaded with, may not sec the opportunity, and so missing it, may otherwise miss the highest blessing. Your Committee purposes, when the work is completed, to issue a small volume in which shall be acknowledged the gifts of all contributors of $5 and uji- wards ; all members of Young Peoples' Societies contributing $2 and upwards, and of Sabbath School scholars contributing $1 and upwards. It is intended that this volume will also c-ntain a riei statement, with illustrations, regarding the educa- tional, missionarj i.d h .ole» ,ork of the Church. Your Commit' . ■• vc- o "'r t more assured that the Century Fund movement, if vigorously suppo. «.<''! u\> ; ' hands, will tend greatly to the strengthening of tlie church and to the ex^ ! ■u jf^he Saviour's kingdom. In the accompanying ta^;. "^ed statement will be fotmd details as to the amounts thus far subscribed. All of whicli is respectfully submitted, Toronto, May 31st, 1900. ROBERT H. WARDEN, Convener. W.

To ike ]'eiicralHi)ytt'ries, while appr'^-'itig of a Manual, express a preference for one contain- ing five complete service*- .. stead of tlie form submitted by tlie Committee. Nino Presbyteries, while approving the form of Manual submitted by the ( ommittee, suggest various emenilations. Eleven Presbyteries give their un(|ualified approval to tlie Manual prepared by the Committee. Twenty Presbyteries, more or less approve of the Manual in form and substance. Thus it appears that of the twenty-seven (27) Presbyteries heard froiii, all but three ex- press approval of the purpose the Assembly had in view in nominating this Committee, and of tlie twenty-four signifying their approval of the objectaimed at, twenty (•Jtl)give their preference to the form of Manual submitted last year. Of these, a few give expression to a divergence of opin- iim witli respect to responsive prayers. On this point the Committee would merely repeat tlie explanation of the Convener in his circular of April 17th, lSi)9. '' In preparing this little W'H'k the primary consideration has been its utility as an aid to social worship under a var- iety of commonly occurring circiun--tances. Tiie Committee have always kept before tlieir iniiids the mixed character of settlers and pioneers spreading over the vast out'ying districts of Canada, and in order that its utility miglu extend to all Christian people, they have il(;eined it advisable to free the services from any marked denominational bias. It may be assumed that this is th3 tiesire of the Assembly, as in the nrocoediiiKs, (page (iO) a Manual pivpared ior mixed worshippers is sp^'cially mentioned by the Assembly, and the Committee is asked to revise it if that be deemed advisable." In the hand-book mentioned by the Assemb'y, which constitutes the basis of the Committee'.-i labours, one-third of the praj'ers are responsive ; in the draft manual which the Committee submitted last year, the proportion of responsive prayers was reduced to one-tenth of the whole, and these were introduced under ilie conviction that in some groups of mixed worshippers, composed wholly of laymen, it would li' found that the responses would provide an opportunity for all present partii'ipating direct- ly in che service, and thus t^nd to promote a deeper individual interest iu the solemn act of worship. The more recent task of the Committee has been to consider the views of the twenty-seven Presbyteries heard from, and it lias become their duly to endea . -'r to harmonize as far aa possil.le divergent opinions. They have accordingly revised the Manual of last year and elim- inated all responsive prayers except in a sinalo instance, taken from the old Manual placed in the hands of the Committee by the Assembly. They have likewise made desirable emendations su^'gested by some of the Presbyteries ; and in order to meet the views of those who have a 288 preforeiiuo for levoral uoiii|)leto Mervicoa, thoy turniHli ii> the revUuU Mauiul, »• oxunipluH, uucliiieH of tour udditionnl ■urvioei. ili« Willi roKiii'd to thu ohjoct of hucIi n duvotioniil work, Minialers will bear in mind thul It is not for their luu.

The Rev. Mr. Clay writes as follows : " Most heartily do I approve the resolutions passed by the joint meeting of your Committee on Religious I.istruction in Schools and representatives of the Anglican Church, and most earnestly do I hope to see them adopted in the Province of Ontario — confident that such a step would indirectly benefit • 10 I^r »; a m> '.'' .'!»; 290 '• H'' if. this Province (British Columbia) in common with the whole of Canadfi. From British Columbia no change in the law and no discernable improvement in public sentiment on the question can be reported. We have only to watch carefully what is being done else- where, and then persistently keep that before our people as a stimulus." Speaking of school legislation in the Province of Quebec, Prof. Scrimger. makes the following important statement : "I am happy to be able to say that the law is entirely satisfactory to all the Protestant Churches, and that on the whole the amount of religious instruction actually given by the teachers is as great as can reasonably be expected, and that it is given without the least denominational friction. The secret of our success and harmony lies in the fact that the instruction is confined to Old and New Testament history. This is taught either from the Bible itself or from McLear's Handbooks. Though, of course, the history is not everything, we feel that it will carry its own lessons and furnish the foundation for further instruction elsewhere." It is recommended that the General Assembly reappoint its Committee on Religious Instruction in Schools, with instructions to co-operate with the Committee of the Angli- can Church and with any Committees or representatives of other Churches, for the pur- pose of having effect given to the views expressed in the resolrtions above given — which are in accordance with the propositions approved of by last General Assembly.

STATISTICS. SYNOU OF THE MAKITIME I'ROVIN<'ES. No change has taken place in the number of Presbyteries of this Synod since last report. Your Committee are looking forward to the time, ami it; may not be distant, when the Presbytery of Newfoundland will again find a place upon the roll of those which it embraces. With the changes that have been taking place in the industrial and commercial int rests of the Island of Newfoundland, with the promised development of the mineral resources in which it abounds, and tlie facilities that have been opened up for transportation, it may warrantably be expected that there will be a spuoJy and large increase of the population, that this will be distributed at various centres, and that, as a conset|t.ence, the Church will be called upon to send out her missionaries to them, that congregations will be organized, and a new Presbytery be formed, or the former one revived. In the meantime Halifax continues to include in its bounds the pc\8toral charges .lad Mission Stations formerly reported as consti- tuting the Presbytery of Newfoundland. Proceeding to consider the Presbyteries forming the Synod in their usual order, and comparing their state and history during the year 1899 with those of the year immediately preceding, the first to come up for notice is Truro. — This Presbytery shows a falling otf of 2 in the number of Churches and Stations under pastoral supply, namely, K'2 ; of l,23() in the number of sittings, ir),48(» of tbe^e ; of l.")4 in the the number of families, •2,r>i)V) ; of "JOS in that of single persons not belonging to the families worshipping in these, i^Ab ; and of 8n in that of communicants, r),H:-{(5.

II reply no. 34 do move in the matter, either forinully or t)y the Clerk. In the report for 1898, submitted to th.? Assembly at its last meeting, it was given as the unanimous opinion of the Committee that liie new statistical forms ahould be held in abey- ance, for reasons given, till the first year of the new century, " now so near its commence mencenient," and on motion of the Convener, seconded by Mr. L. H. Jordan, the report was adopted. As stated in the introduction to this report, there are several parts of its contents de serving, or demanding, careful consideration. On these your Committee do not dwell, but one is the very large Held which God has called our Church to occupy — the increase of the population, embracing settlers from foreign countries, with their distinctive customs and forma of religious doctrine and worship, and the very great diligence and energy required to be exercised by her to fulfill her duty in the circumstances. It is a (juestiotl for her earnestly to ponder if her accessions, or call it conversions, are equal to what they might be, in view of the increase of her opportunities, and if nut, what is the reason ? Is the attendance at prayer meetings so large as to indicate a healthy, energetiQ, spiritual life throughout the fam- ilies ot congregations ? It is gratifying, and a matter of thanksgiving to her King and Head, that there is increasing liberality displayed by the people fram year to year. The returns an K. J.llllun MllU.CUII. . 1.

It whs uxpected timt thin would interfere, to » j{re»ter or less extent, with contributions for tho Schemes of the Churcii. It is, tlierefore, oncouraginj^ to report thtit the iiniuunt received for the regular Schemes was in excess of any preceding year. The following are tho amounts :— Knox College 88,5I();{ 71 Pre8l)yterian College, Montreal 1LJ,H07 (iH Queen's College, Kingston . . 2,1)14 4'.\ Manitoba ('ollege, Winnipeg M,r)Ht) 74 Home Missions H(),L\'«> 2!)

Dr. Warden, at the Tonmto Otlice, were 801(),.'550.87. From the accompanying financial statement, it will be observed that at tlie close of the year all the funds of the Church were free from debt, with the exception of the Home Mission and the Widows' and Orphans' Funds. As the result of a special a{)j)eal, the total indebtedness of tho Home Mission Fund has been removed, and it is hoped that, when tho General As.sembly meets, the Widows' and Orphans' Fund will also be free from debt. The expense of administering the missionary and benevolent Schemes of the Church last year wati 3] per cent. This includes salary of agent, secretaries, expenses of committees, ottice rent, office staff, printing, stationery, postage and everything that pertains to administration. Last General Assembly instructed congregations to forward their contributions prior to February 28th. This was done only to a limited extent, many having overlooktd the instruction of the Assembly. It is hoped, however, tl- hereafter attention will be given to this, so that the total receipts for the Schemes of the Church for the year may be on hand before February 28th. While nearly all congregations contribute, more or loss, to the more important Schemes of the Church, a large number fail to send anything for the others. Your Committee would, therefore, renew the recommendation of last year ; that Presbyteries be requested, at their first meeting after the Assembly rises, to consider this matter, with a view to securing the organization of an efficient Committee in every congregation and mission station within their bounds, so that a contribution may be annually obtained for every scheme. All of which is respectfully submitted. ROBT. KILGOUR, Toronto, May 25lh, 1900. Chairman. THK I'KKSHVTKKIAN CHUlUll IN CANADA (Wkhtkkn Skction) FN ACCOUNT WITH UKV. U. 11. WAKDKN, D.I)., Auknt.
