SECRETARY'S REPORT. A. D. 189 7. Tt was in the month of Sppt«^nil)er, in the year IH.'^fl, that a meeting of the Clei'j^y of the Arcli(Jeac'onry of New lirunswick was held in the City of Fnuleiieton for the formation of this Society, and here, after an honourable career of more than sixty years' duiation, the Society now assemhU's to hohl its hist anniversary mt^eting. On such an occasion it may not he inappropriate to refer very hrielly to the work Jiccomplished hy the Society. When liisliop John Tnglis first suggested the formation t>f a Church Society, **in t\ :) hope of interesting the laity in the affairs of the Church," he said in his letter to the Venerable Archdeacon Coster, dated June 1, 1S36, " W, in ad<]ition, considerable sums are unnually ;;iven to the Cler^^y Widows and Orphans Funds, th Fund for the Education of the Children of the Cler;i;y.

C'untiii I JcN'i'Iht, hihI the Arch- «ider»t.s who are present with us totlay, Mr. William M. .larvis and Mr. (iieor;,'e A. Schofield. Last, hut not least, anion^ the names of those t(» whom our Diocesan ('lunch Society owes so nuich, special mention should be nuule of its three Presidents HishopJohn In;,'lis, the able and far-seein;; prelate at whose instigation the Society was founded ; Hishop ^b'dley, wh(» took uj) the woik so heartily when it was still the day of small things with the Socit'ty, and who c .rried it on so nobly and well ; aiul our present Jiishop, whose concern lest tlie toil-worn missjomiry should be forgotten, and whose wisR forethought for the etiucation of the children of the clergy, have borne fruit in the «'nliirg, for the fourth 41, for the fifth 42, and for the sixth 57. More than one-half of the life members wei-e residents of St. John, nearly one-fourth were lesidents of Fredericton, and the remainder chiefly residents in the Counties of Westmorland, Charlotte and Kings. Of the life members no less than eighteen were of the Scovil family, while the DeVeber family furnished ten, the Hanington family nine, the Simonds family six, and the IJobinson, Jarvis and Fairweather families each five. Among the many individual benefactors of the Society, whose names should be gratefully recorded in this last annual report, a foremost place must be assigned to that of the late Metropolitan of Canada, who by annual contributions alone (since continued by Mrs. Medley) gave upwards of $5,000 to the genera^ purpose? of the Society, and about $3,000 to its other objects. '1 ■f I ! ii i r V H I. 20 Several of the Lieutenant-Governors proved jyenerous patrons, notably Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, who gave $200 annually during the five years he remained in the Province From 1846 to 1^65 inclusive, Stephen Wiggins, the founder of the Wiggins Orphan Asylum, and his son, F. A. Wiggins, gave in annual contrilnitions nearly 84,000, the former on two occasions placing his name on the list of Trinity Church, St. John, for t'lie sum of =£100. Chief Justice Chipman, during <"he fa"st fourteen years of the Society, gave more than 81,000 in his annual contributions, and upon his decease (^rowned ihe generosity that marked his life by a noble becjuost of 840,000 in aid of the missionary objects of the Society, Of later generous friends time will not suffice to speak in detail, but your secretary will perhaps be pardoned for instancing the splendid and successful effort of his Lordship the President of this Society on behalf of the Incapacitated Clergy Fund, the liberality of the Rev. John M. Davenport, who, by a series of contributions rangin;;;; from 8*200 to 8300, added in the course of a fovv years more than $2,500 to the income of the Society, and the generosity of the Rev. John deSoyres, whose donation of 8500 i- the year 1894, is the largest individual contribution that has ever adorned our yearly subscription lists. The D. C. S. has been the channel through which a large number of bequests and sums of money received as special trusts have been made available for the w,»rk of the Church in the diocese. The noble example set by the late Chief Justice Chipman, ever generous where the Church was concerned, has been followed by many others, but in no instance has his muni- ficence been surpassed, and in but one has it been even distantly approached. When the announcement was made of Chief Justice Chipman's noble bequest at one of the Society's anniver- sary meetings, a resolution was adopted on motion of the late Chief Justice Parker, seconded by Hon. J. W. Weldon, " That whilst this Society gratefully accepts this munificent becjuest, it is deeply sensible of the great loss it has sustained by the removal of one to whom it has been largely indebted from its first formation for wise counsel and generous support." The annual report of the Society for 1851 adds this deserved tribute : " The Society is this year called to mourn over the departure of one of its earliest and most steadfast friends. Wheresoever its members meet, or its funds are expended, the memory of the Honourable Ward Chipman, late Chief Justice of New Bruns- in 21 wick, will be cheiished with eople of Caujjibellton. The rector collected a small amount in St. tlohn last year ; the bishop secured a grant from the S. P. C. Iv. ; the Kev. Dean Hoffman, of New York, gave us S'J") ; for all of this wc are very grateful. There has still to be raised $',\'iO to clear u[> the debt j this amount is owing to the bank here tm a joint note signed bj' a number of the parishioners, so that there is no claim upon the rectory by anyone. The cost of the rectory has been a little over $1,400. 1 hope to see the note paid off before Easter, so that we can begin work on the church. We have, as may be seen, a good deal of work before us which is most necessary. CJod helping us, we shall succeed, but liberality is absolutely necessary on the part of the congregation. Of the spiritual life of the congregation it is a little ditticult to judge ; each churchman and each churchwoman must manifest in their lives the measure of the gift of the giace of God ; with their opportunities come their obligations. May (rs, and were very late in being repaired. With regard to the Rectory FutuI, we are glad to state; that we hope very soon to clear off the debt — it keeps the people })usy devising means how to raise money. Sixteen infants have been baptized and two adults. I have married three couples, one couple being married in St. Luke's Church, Waterborough ; the bridegroom was the brother of the bride whom T mairied in the same church two 3'ears ago. How much good such examples do in the encouragement of holding all the Church's services in (Jod's house we cannot estimate. I am glad to be able to report that the baptisms held in the church are on the increase. It is my eainest desii-e to draw all that will be drawn into (rod's sanctuary, tliere to perform their vows in the sight of His people. With regard to burials, although I have had five, yet it is with great thankfulness to Abnighty (rod that we record the loss of only one member of the Church, John W. Scribner, who for many years was a great suff«'rer. A great number, however, have been laid low on beds of sickness during the past year. The woik at Coal Creek and Chipman still increases and is very encouraging. The dozen faithful communicants are rarely ever aV)sent from their place at the Holy Communion when there is a celebration. I am hoping to gain a footing in Chipman, where for years we have l)een shut out. We received great kindness at the hands of the Presbyterians, who lent us their church for evening service on August 31. The service was con- ducted as if within one of our own, and to some, who for the "^' I I i : : I ii 30 first time in theii* lives j)rol)al)Iy vvov witnessed such a solemn Hcrvice, with the cler;,'yniHn rohed in the v(^stinents of th«! Cliurch of En^hmd, what thoughts would revolve in their minds I We hope to be ahle to open services in a hall pioi)al)ly somewhere in Chipman. There is yet one more event of interest, and (hat is the erection of a good, serviceable ix^ll in St. Luke's Churcii, and it now summons all faithful worshippei-s to God's sanctuary. "Where there is a will there is a way." If all our Church mem hers had oidy the will we should be a great power in this land. CANNTNG REV. H. W. COLSTON. Tn presenting my repoit of this parish I may be forgiven for going into detail.s, and this, especially, as some years have elapsed since any woi'k has been done there by your Socicity. What is known as the parish of Canning consists in reality of the parishes of Canning and Northfield, the back part of the parish of Shellield and parts adjacent. In rhis district we have three Churclies, St. Michael and All Angels at Newcastle Bridge, St. Mary at Little River, and St. liuke at ])ouglas Harbor. In all these Churches we have large and attentive congrega- tions. Alas I not of Church people. Is there any prospect of there becoming members of the (Miurch 1 I cannot say. Rut I earnestly believe that the faithful and persistent teaching of the truth of our holy religion — "the truth as it is in Christ Jesus," — must result in the breaking down of j)rejudices, the removal of false impressions, the acceptance of Catholic truth, the purifying of the daily life and the spiritual growth into the fulness of the stature of the Man Christ Jesus, all, of course, in God's good time. "A gieat door and effectual is opened to us." May God's grace give us the help to enter it. I am very much in need of piayer V)ooks and hymn books for three missionary stations. Will not some Churchman, out of love for God, send me at least fifty copies of the Prayer Book and Hymns Ancient and Modern, bound together 1 The very cheapest edition is all I reright, heatty services, the eornest addresses, have nia(h>( a lasting impression. At Little Hiver we have eight Church people. The church is in good order and reflects much credit upon those who t(Jok charge of it during the long vacancy. At Douglas Harbour we muster seven. Our church building is in a very bad condition. Although many profess to l)e warm friends of the Church, yet their warmth lias not yet penetrated as far as the pocket book.

D. i: R t: i ^'' U'. ; • The following report, which is my twenty-first since coming into the diocese and my fifteenth for the parish of JJorcliester, is also my last to the Society. - Vale ! Vale ! The report is accompanied by the list of names of subscribers to the General Purposes Fund for 1897-98, and amounts to about $200. The fact that this is the last report to the General Committee of the D. C. S., naturally suggests certain thoughts. In the first list of subscriptions sent from this parish in 1846, fifty-one years ago, the name of Mr. David Chapman occurs. He is the one surviving subscriber of that date, and his name has constantly appeared from that date till this. I find, by reference to the annual lists of subscriptions, that our little parish bos, during my incumbency since 1882, contributed over $3 500 to the General Purposes Fund and over $1,000 in Life- Memberships and contributions to the Incapacitated Clergy Fund, and the Life Membership contributed this year is one of the last of that long and honoiable roll, of which we claim no fewer than fifteen. Trinity Church Guild continues, under the presidency of Mrs. Campbell, to do good work for the parish. The General Committee, as well as the rector, are debtors to Mrs. Lucie A. McGrath for much valuable assistance, freely given for many years, in making the annual collections for the Society. I have no doubt that, as all our Church people are practically the Local Committee of the D. C. S., they will be no less loyal to its lineal descendant — the Board of Home Missions of the Synod of the Diocese of Fredericton. I|i 'm ■ . • . i h'! » it" j'Hi- ! ri Mi ■ r ■ i l!i ' ' I . 34 GAGETOWN — REV. N. C. HANSEN, M. A. There is not very much this year which can be melted into a report from this parish. The Bishop visited Gagetown on Monday, October 12, 1896, and confirmed eleven candidates, four males and seven females. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the service was very much enjoyed by all. . The fence around the new graveyard, to which reference was made last year, has been finished at a cost of about sixty dollars, ' and we have to thank the " W. A, A." for a contribution of 112.50, and the "King's Daughters" for .$10,00 towards the expenses. The rest has been contributed in various ways. The graveyard has since been laid out in lots, 16 x 10, with four feet avenues between each row of lots. A plan of the graveyard has been drawn by the rector and placed with the vestry clerk. Several lots have already been taken at the nominal price of one dollar per lot, and marked on the plan. The old graveyard fence has received a coat of paint, uniform with the new, and an attempt is being made to draw a plan of this yard. The rector, after having hoped against hope to induce the Church people of Bethany (a place about three and a half miles from Gagetown) to attend services at the parish church, has come to the conclusion that the only way to get them to church is to carry the church to them, and as there is no school-house or hall in the neighbourhood, services are held in the house of Mr. Henry Osborne, at which the rector, after evening prayer, tries to explain the Church services to the people and to expound a chapter of the Bible. The services so far have been well attended. During the year de&th has been again busy. The burial register shows that twelve persons have been laid to rest. Perhaps the loss that is felt most in the Church is that of Mr. James Hawkshaw, of Summerhill, who was a yearly cheerful contributor to the D. C. S. Alike in rainy and sunshiny weather he was found at the services held at Summerhill. No man was more highly esteemed in the community than he. His sudden and unexpected decease was a great blow both to his family and the Church at that place. The removal of Miss Maud Hamilton to Boston is one of those discouraging events which come so frequently to try the metal of our country clergy. It is hard enough to have any of our young people move away to the big cities, but Miss Hamil- -•"*^- •■•■■■ "■**■*' 35 ton, having been our faithful organist for some time, her loss seems almost irreparable. The following sums have been contributed to extra-parochial objects : In Advent and Lent, ^17.72 to the Children's Mission Fund ; at Epiphany, $5.80 to Foreign Missions ; the Ascension day, $2.75 for Domestic Missions; and on Gtkxi Friday, $2.92 for missions among the Jews. i •}j 't',1 t •jv GRAND MAN AN -REV.

COVERT, B.A. of ^ell of the ■y of ^ On the 19th of April, 1824, William Franklin and William Ross were elected the first Churchwardens of this parish, and JohnSprague, James Duke, Charles Bleumortier, William Guptill, George Burdon, Oliver Worster, John Doggett, Caleb Benson sr., , Caleb Benson jr., Cochran Craig, Enoch Baird and John Snell, were elected vestrymen. On the 5th of July following, the Rev. C. Gritfin, the wardens, and six vestrymen, held another meeting. In a letter from the S. P. G. the people were asked to pro- vide £S0 a year for Mr. Griffin, and at the expiration of two years, a parsonage house. He was in the meantime to be accom- modated in comfortable quarters. There was a church at Grand Harbor at this time, and although it was unfinished twenty-three pews were let at rents varying from 2s 6d to .£1. In regard to the salary and house, the people thought themselves unable to comply with the requirements of the Society. Mr. Griffin left the parish, and for years afterwards the Rev. Jerome Alley, rector of St. Andrews, presided at vestry meetings and did a good deal of Church work in this island parish. The Rev. John Dunn seems to have begun his pastoral work in 1832, and was inducted rector in 1835 by the Rev. Skeffington Thomson. The church was built in 1839, and was re-built of stone in 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn were indefatigable in their exertions to get this work completed, and were generously aided in this country and in England, as well as by the parishioners. Mr. Dunn remained a few years longer, and was succeeded by the Rev. James Neales, who with the Rev, Thomas McGhee, received priest's orders here in St. Paul's church, from Bishop Medley. After some years of faithful work Mr. Neales removed to Richibucto. He was fol- lowed by the Rev. George T. Cary, who continued his ministra- tions until 1871, when he re.signed, but continued to reside in the parish until the time of his death. He built a neat church on the northern part of the island, which was finished and con- 36 secrated in 1885 by our present Bishop. It is on a very handsome site. It is called the Church of the Ascensiort. St. Paul's church was repaired and greatly improved last year. We have bells and cabinet organs in these churches. ..,,. , ^, . . Is;- i?,ii3 GREENWICH— REV. H. A. CODY. U ! ;ti. During mv short term of nine months' service in Greenwich I have had everything to encourage me. Together with the hearty support of the people and the invaluable aid of the former rector, Rev. Mr. Pickett, we have steadily pushed the good work along. Two new services have been started, one in the adjoin- ing parish of Kars, and another at Evandale, where, through the kindness of Mr. John O. Vanwart, a splendid hall, supplied with every convenience, has been placed at our disposal. The parish of Wickham, at one time possessing a beautiful little church, contains now less than half a dozen Church families, and, with the help of our Heavenly Father, Church services will begin there with the new year. During the summer two Sunday-schools have been carried on, having one hundred scholars enrolled in both schools. On July 12 a dinner and supper given to the Orangemen realized us, clear of all expenses, the neat sum of almost $150, which has enabled us to purchase a new organ for St. James' church (Brown's Flats), as well as a new library for the Sunday- school. We feel quite confident, from the present outlook, that before another autumn comes around a bell will be placed in the spacious belfry of St. Paul's church. Oak Point. The Women's Aid Society has been revived and is carrying on excellent work. The Young Women's Guild does a magnificent work, having placed at various times many useful articles in St. Paul's church. Thus the work steadily continues, and we trust on October 17 to have the Bishop among us, when the apostolic rite of con firmation will take place. The grim messenger death has not been absent from this parish, and among the number who joined the silent majority was the widow of the late much esteemed Charles Ric! aids, who had exceeded her four-score years. |;i,q There is much work to be done, aud we look forward to the future with groat hope, trusting that more labourers will be sent to the great work, and for the present let our motto be " Watch and pray."

Hence I have not yet received the report of the collectors. T hope to have a statement in land before the Annual Report of the Society is printed, and I hope that T may l)e able to remit $50. Collections have been made for Tncapacitated Clerj?y Fund, Education of the Children of the Clergy, Bishop Blyth's work, and for the diocese of Algoma. The Children's Mission Fund has received a measure of support, and would be even more generally supported if interesting details, suitable for the young, were forthcoming. A confirmation was held on the 23rd Sept., when the Bishop confirmed eighteen candidates. :,,; ' t. HARDWICKE— llEV. W. J. WILKINSON, M. A., B. D. During the past year an effort was made to pay off the in- debtedness of this parish to the D. C. S., and about sixty dollars extra was raised for this purpose. Next year I hope I may be able to report that payments are made regularly every month. Last summer Mr. H. H. Gillies, a graduate of King's College, Windsor, N. S., came to my assistance, and for four months laboured acceptably among the people and did good work. The congregations during the past year at Bay du Vin, and at the new church in the lower part of the parish, have l)een unusually good. At Escuminac, although there are two or three Church families, the work is not very encouraging as yet. Some of the young people as they grow up leave Escuminac for various parts of the United States ; but I am glad to say that in their new homes they gladly avail themselves of their increased Cliurch privileges. At Bay du Vin the people generally take a deep interest in their Church. By the exertion of the female members of my flock funds were raised and a neat and suitable fence has been built around the graveyard, at a cost of al)out one hundred dollars, to replace one which was built nearly half a century ago. Repairs are sadly needed upon the rectory. I have been obliged to get a man to work at the roof to endeavour to stop the leaks. We also need about six more double windows to keep ourselves reasonably comfortable during the severe winter weather. A new cellar drain must also be dug, as last spring 38 there was between three and four feet of water in the cellar. This drain alone, I am told, will cost twenty dollars. We are indebted to Mrs. Medley for two very handsome pulpit hangings for the church. There are a number of candi- dates for confirmation whom I have been preparing, and whom I hope to present to the Bishop at his next visitation. Whilst there are many matters in connection with Church work in which there is much room for improvement, I am thankful to say that on the whole I think we are progressing. ♦ ■-• >.-..•! •iU'.v '■' ■' *■'.'■■ JOHNSTON REV. C. A. S. WARNEFORD. On the 14th October, 1896, we had a visit from his Lordship Bishop Kingdon, and at evening service at St. John's Church, Highfield, thirty-one candidates received the rite of Confirmation, and also there was the service for the institution of the rector. During this summer repairs were made on the rectory, which included the re shingling of roof and painting with fire-proof paint, repairing four rooms and plastering both walls and ceilings in mi,iiy places ; the cellar re-silled and floored ; also, the drain from cellar made in such a condition that the water, which here- tofore collected, may in future be carried off. Cody's Hall, at Cody'.s Station, which was enlarged last year by the addition of twelve feet in length, has been sheathed, both walls and ceiling. The Bagdad church roof has been painted, but much work remains to be done on the interior ; but fortnightly services are held there, although in this unfinished condition. The services at the four churches and two halls have been well attended, and especially at St. John's Church, Highfield, the congregations have been large. This church requires repairs on the interior, and I trust that during the coming year an exertion will be made towards the necessary improvements. The church at Goshen is in need of painting, and through the zeal and energy of the young ladies of that place a sum of money has lieen raised for the purpose, but as yet only about one-third the amount required. Still I trust that in due time the desired end will be accomplished. Three services are held in the parish each Sunday, also a week-day service on three Tuesdays of the month. 39 KINGSCLEAR — REV. H. MONTGOMERY, M. A. In submitting ray report from this parish to this the last meeting of the General Committee of the venerable and noble Diocesan Church Society, which has done so much to build up the Church in this diocese, it seems most appropriate that there fihould be a brief review of what has been accomplished in the parish under the benign and fostering care of the Society. The first missionary sent to the parish directly from the D. C. S. was one whose name is still affectionately remembered in the diocese as one of its l)est and noblest men, zealous not only in parochial, but diocesan work, the Rev. John Frederic Carr. Previous to his coming to the parish in 1873, his prede- cessors were missionaries of the S. P. G., and were paid directly by that venerable society. Mr. Carr was in charge of the parish about five years, during which time he re-organized the parish and infused new life and zeal in the Church. The restoiation of the parish church was also accomplished in his time. In 1879 he was called to his well-won rest in Paradise, deeply loved and respected by his sorrowing parishioners. He was succeeded by the Rev. R. M. Edwards. In the two years of his incumbency he did much in the way of teaching the people those truths of " the faith once for all delivered to the saints." The Rev. Geo. Ix)ve was the next rector. He remained but a si ^r<■ time, resigning the parish in 1882. In 1883 the present rec yr was collated to the parish by the late revered Metropolitan, and was inducted just fourteen years ago this month. During that time there has been much to encourage as well as to discourage one in the good work ; yet on the whole, with the helpful and loving care of the D. C. S., one has much reason to be thankful for evidences seen amidst many and great changes of some little progress in the temporal and spiritual welfare of the Church. During that time the parish church has been still further repaired and improved, the rectory re-modelled, and St. Mark's Church, Upper Kingsclear, which had been closed previous to Mr. Carr's incumbency for about twenty years and the land given over to dissent, the building in a state of decay and nearly tumbling down, has been restored and beautified. Altogether something over .f 2,000 has been expended on the church build- ings and rectory, and the parish is in the happy position of being free from debt. There were about fifty communicants fourteen years ago, and notwithstanding the large decrease in the Church population, owing to removals from the parish, the present m . ill ill 40 number is ninety, which is about fifty per cent of the numl)er of parishioners. During that time there have been 154 candidates baptized and 100 confirmed. These facts are reported in no boastful spirit ; indeed more might have been done, perhaps, but they are simply stated to show what the parish owes to the D. C. S., through whose agency and kind assistance the work has been done. During the past year I have been the recipient of much kindness from my people, as well as from those interested in the parish, though not living in it. I am particularly indebted to Mis. Maunsell, of Fredericton, a former parishioner, for pro curing a goodly sum of money to purchase a carriage to replace one I unfortunately lost by fire a year ago. The branch of the Women's ,.\id has also been actively engaged in good work. Since my last report they have raised .$14 5, part of which has been donated to putting a furnace in the rectory, the balance to go towards procuring furnishings for the rectory. I have great pleasure also in reporting that a generous gift of a stained glass east window for St. Mark's Church, Upper Kingsclear, has been made by Mr. and Mrs. John Kilburn in memory of their only daughter. In matters spiritual, the progress is not as perceptible nor as great as one, perhaps, could wish for, but God alone knows the measure and progress of that. On the whole there is much need of deeper spiritual life, as no doubt is the case in most parishes. One can but work and wait and watch and pray that in God's own good time the spiritual awakening may come, as He sees best. In conclusion I desire to convey from my parishioners, through this committee, to the Diocesan Church Society our most sincere and grateful thanks for the generous support which it has rendered the parish of Kingsclear, financially, for the past twenty four years, and we humbly trust that when the nuptials of the Synod and D. C. S. are consummated we shall still receive the same kind assistance and interest under the new name and management of the Board of Home Missions of the Diocesan Synod as we have received in the past under the maiden name and management of the Board of Home Missions of the Diocesan Church Society. And while we say a fond farewell to the old management, we bid God-speed to the new. We hail with pleasure the wedding day, and desire our best wishes and prayers for a long, happy and prosperous union of the Diocesan Chuich Society and Synod. >er of dates more ed to whose much in the )ed to r pro eplace of the work, ch has mce to us gift Upper lurn in nor as )ws the much most that ome, as ay lioners, ty our support Uy, for len the ve shall 16 new of the er the lissions fond le new. ur best nion of 41 KINGSTON -KEV. H. 8. WAIN WRIGHT, B. A. This being the last year of the venerable Diocesan Societ}' in its corporate existence apart from the Diocesan Synod (its minor by many years), a report from each Afission and Parish is no doubt expected, and should be willingly and readily forwarded. The first event to be chronicled with us is the visit of our beloved Diocesan on the l.'3th of October, 1896. In the afternoon of that day he administered, at Trinity Church, the apostolic rite of confirmation to fourteen young men and twenty-two young women, five of whom had been admitted into the Church by baptism a few days before. Just two years and two days before, the Bishop confirmed twenty-five in the same church, thus making sixty-one confirmed in the parish in two years. The majority of these are now regular communicants. At a meeting of the Deanery, held in the rectory at Norton, one of the many subjects warmly discussed was the famine in India, and all the brethren pre.sent determined to bring the mat- ter before their people, and urge on them, as a christian duty, to send relief to their perishing fellow mortals in that far-off land ; which thing they eventually did, and t|uite a sum was feathered up for that purpose, towards which Kingston con- tributed seventy dollars. ■ In the sumnder of 1895 extensive and most needed repairs were made to the fabric of old Trinity. Louvre shutters were placed in the belfry, and the steeple was cased with zinc to its top. The windows were glazed and painted, and matting for the middle aisle procured. Last year the old tumble-down church fence was removed, and the workers spent several days in put- ting a new substantial one in its place. The work was completed this spring and the front fence is being painted. This summer the inside of the church was enriched by being sheathed all around up to the bottom of the windows, and at the west end up to the gallery. The cost of all this most necessary work has been very large. It was, however, met in part by the Mite Society, and by a concert or two. The church at present sadly needs painting, towards which object we have only eighteen dollars in hand. Just here I would mention this pleasing circumstance : I-ast spring I received most unexpectedly, and therefore most thankfully, the handsome gift of twenty-five dollars for one of the above named purposes, from a former parishioner, now resident in London, England, who whilst here last summer on a h [,■ if'" 42 visit to her relations revived her love for her old parish church. si sic omnes. St. James' chapel, whose jubilee was celebrated with a fitting service, October 30, 1895, has had a new carpet laid within the railing, and oilcloth without, and the vestibule and pews have been newly painted. This work was done through the in- strumentality of the Band of Willing Workers, the faithful women of course. On Sunday, 15th November, 1896, St. Paul's chapel was re- opened, after being closed for several weeks, during which tho inside walls were sheathed with diagonal boarding, a handsom«^ heavy moulding running round the top. The service was a Harvest Thanksgiving. The church was well filled, and the new work looked very rich in the well-lighted building. Credit is mainly due to the women of this chapel also who were foremost in initiating the work, aud also in carrying it on to a successful issue. ^ All Saints' chapel, last autumn, had its original design com- pleted, by the placing therein a fine pulpit, the work of Messrs, J. & J. D. Howe of St. John, and the gift of Howard P. Wetmore, eldest son of our late lamented and deeply missed church warden, D. P. Wetmore, in loving remembrance of his father. The only thing lacking in the full equipment of this important chapel is a set of holy vessels for the reverent cele- bration of the holy communion ; the vessels now used there being those that belong to Trinity Church. As the outside of this beautiful little building is much weather worn, an effort is being made to have it thoroughly painted this fall ; and it is my pleas- ing duty to state that a most generous gift of twenty-five dollars has been placed in my hands for helping on this work, by a good friend of this chapel and frequent worshipper therein. The Sunday services have been held with unfailing regularity during the past year, and occasional week-day services have also been held. The congregations at Trinity and All Saints have been good ; but those at St. James' and St. Paul's have not been as large. We have to lament the departure of several constant and devout attendants at divine worship within the last two years. These inevitable removals, with the continual exodus of our ambitious youth, are a sad drain on the strength of parishes like this, which hold out no favonrable prospects for intending settlers. The Rev. D. I. Wetmore still holds services in this parish at my request and charge. ( m The amounts raised for ■ ...ious purposes are as follows , D. C.

The work of the Church in this parish has been carried on (|uietly and without ostentation during the year past, and we have had tlie ble* sings of peace and unity. While the Church is blest in having in its ranks many will- ing workers who are always ready to do and give to their utmost for the support of the Church, theie are also others who claim the ministrations of the Church who do and give very little, so the burden falls upon those who are willing to spend and be ^pent in the Master's service. A debt of gratitude is due to the women of the congregation who again this year have worked I'arnestly and faithfully for the support of the Church. Mainly through their efforts in the two working guilds the sum of •^195.84 has been raised for the needs of the Church in Fairville. During the year I have had 332 services ; there have been 75 celebrations of the Holy Eucharist, 12 baptisms, 3 marriages md 20 funerals, a large percentage of the latter being at the Lunatic Asylum. The Bishop of the Diocese having regard to the needs of this mission, with his usual kindness came to us on April 6 for the purpose of the " laying on of hands " in confirma- tion, M'hen fourteen were confirmed — eight males and six tVmales, ten of whom made their first communion on Easter! Sunday, April 18. This is the third confirmation in thre^ years. In 1894 there were eight confirmed, four males and four females. In 1895 there were again eight confirmed, five males and three females. This year fourteen confirmed, eight males and six females. There has been also a quiet and steady growth in the number uf communicants. At Easter, 1895, forty-four received ; at Easter, 1896, forty- ' eight received ; and at Easter, 1897, fifty-nine received. -^ 3 .> ;■; I ' til i it I if 44 The same may be said of the Hpecial Easter offerings of the people. In 1895 but two or three made an offeiing. In 1890 the amount from sixteen members was !?11.10. In 1897 the amount from twenty-nine members was .f'20.25. ^ There has been also a marked increase in the number of scholars attending the Sunday-school under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas Stears and the following staff of teachers, who have been very faithful and punctual in the discharge of their very important duties, — Mrs. McKiel, Miss Armstrong, Miss Simpson, Miss McKiel and John Medley McKiel. All the children are required to say some portionof the Church ca'./echism every Sunday, which is then thoroughly explained to them ; thus they are grounded and stablished in the faith, and are being prepared in time to tnke their places in a future confir mation class for due and careful preparation for the laying on of hands, in which Divine ordinance the great Head of the Church nhall stablish the thing that He has wrought in them. ' i LUDLOW AND BLISSFIELD— REV. H. MONT- ' GOMERY, M. A. i v It is just ten years ago this month when at the request of the present Bishop, I took charge of this mission, and under the circumstances of this present meeting of the General Committee of the D. C. S., I trust it will not be out of place to briefly review the growth and progress of this mission during that time. The seeds sown by that most faithful and self-denying parish priest, one of the first and noblest of those whose names have been enrolled in the list of missionaries of the Diocesan Church Society, the late Rev. James Hudson, were not altogether crushed out in their growtli during the long period of neglect and vacancy in the mission. They still feebly lingered in a few faithful hearts, and Upon the foundation laid by him the build ing up of the Church there owes no small debt of gratitude for the success with which 'it has been blessed. During the ten years of my charge three churches have been built through the generous and kind assistance given outside the mission, especially that of our Bishop, whose name is ever spoken of in terms of affection and gratitude by the Church people in this mission, as one to whom they owe more than they can express, the blessings of the ministrations of the Church in their midst. The churches are all complete in every way and free from debt. Tlie register 45 .f the 1890 7 the ber of idencc s, who : their , Miss :^hurch ned to ;h, and 1 confir- g on of Churcli fT- quest of ider the airaittee y review g parish es have Church togethsi neglect in a few le build tude for the ten ugh the ipecially terms of ission, as blessings churches 5 register iS' shows steady growth and prosperity, though tlie losses have not been few through emigration. Two hundred and thirty-six candidates have been baptized — twenty-s«'ven of whom were bap: tized at one service, and one hundred and forty -one confirmed. Ten years ago there were but eight communicants in the mission, now there are fifty-two, and there would be more but for the fact that most of our young men are absent from six to eight months in the year in the lumber woods or on the stream, so that it is very difficult to get hold of them to instruct and persuade them to come to the Blessed Sacrament. It is probable that more might be done in this matter if there were a resident clergyman in the missiim, who might find time to follow part of his congregation into the lumber camps and minister to them there, lentil this can be done it will be difficult to make very deep or lasting impressions on the minds of our young men concerning the necessity of making due and proper use of the means of grace aflorded them in the Church. Since my last report Ht. James's Church, Ludlow, has been painted, and looks much improved in its new dress. This has ijeen done through the efforts of the Women's Aid branch and the untiring zeal of our esteemed deaconess, Mary N. Jacob. During the summer months Mr. Hugh Hooper, of Kings College, Windsor, has rendered valuable service as lay reader in the mission. He has quite won the hearts of the people, and they are earnestly hoping to get him back again next summer (D. V.) The warmest thanks, both of the mission and myself, are due to my very dear friend and brother the Rev. Canon Roberts, who by his kindly taking the evening service at the parish church in Kingsclear, enables me to give this niission a monthly Sunday service. The debt of gratitude to him for his generous assist- ance in this good work can never be repaid in this world. The great Head of the Church alone can fully repay him in the day of reward. Messrs. W. Whyte and James Gilks, of Doaktown, are still proving themselves veritable pillars of the Church there, by actively engaging in every good work which makes for the pro- gress of the Church, especially in the Sunday-school. It is to be hoped that in the near future, when the marriage bond between the Synod and Diocesan Church Society has been completed, it will prove so fruitful in good results that a resident clergyman may be found and provided for in this pros- perous mission field, who will be able to carry on the work of the Church more effectively and successfully than can be done 46 t under the present arrangement. In the meantime, until the contributions t a hoginning, and ptT- haps as we go on our task may liecomt' h'ss hopolesM. We had the pleasure of wek'onung the Sunday-schm)l Tt^Jichers' Association, of the deanery of Fredericton, to Maugerville, for its August meeting. After a short service in the church, and the usual business meeting of the association, lunch was served on the lawn at the rectory. Fortunately for our visitors it was an "oflF day" for the mos(juitoes. We felt ourselves strength- ened and refreshed by this meeting, and inspired with a resolve to work on hoi>efully and persistently. MONCTON — REV. E. B. HOOPER, B. A. The Church services and other branches of the Church's work in this parish have gone on during the past year without interruption. Hince my last report thirty-two candidates have been presentt^d to the Bishop for confirmation, and another class is in course of preparation. We hope to have a visit from our Bishop in November next. The various parochial organiza- tions, i. e.f the Missionary Gleaners, the Brotherhood of St. An- drew, St. George's Guild, and the Sunday-school, have pursued their work during the year with, on the whole, satisfactory results. Recently a very much needed work has been taken in hand — the enlargement of the church and the construction of a splendid stone foundation under it, with a large basement, admirably fitted for Sunday-school purposes. Means for heating basement and church will be put in, and the church and the rectory will be painted. The cost will probably be $2,500, of which about $1,600 is already provided for. The congregation are working splendidly for this object, and peace and good-will reigns throughout the parish. MUSQUASH AND LEPREAUX BAREHAM. REV. ALFRED I was placed in charge of this field of lalx)ur in December, 1895, but have had no opportunity to present a report of the work till now. This double parish consists, to a large extent, of isolated, but more or less populous, settlements, separated by miles of wild and hilly country which, while much of it is potentially fertile, is a more inviting field for the sportsman than the agriculturist. 48 I i" ' Owing to all this the parochial work is varied and interesting, if necessarily arduous. There are two principal centres: Mus- quash, where lumbering is the chief occupation of the people, and Mace's Bay, Lepreaux, where fishing is the main support of the inhabitants. Smaller places recjuiring the ministrations of the Church group themselves round these centres. My plan is to give a regular Sunday service to each parish church, with a fortnightly Sunday service to Prince of Wales and Lepreaux village respectively. Besides these places, Chance Harbour, New River and Lancaster Mills receive occasional services. In this way, besides week day evening services, I am enabled to supply three regular Sunday services in different parts of the parish, which, by the way, is about twenty-five miles long and of indefinite width. ,. The people all received me warmly and have maintained a most considerate and helpful attitude towards me and the work ever since. The attendance at the several services has increased in a most encouraging manner, while the congregations are, I trust, also advancing spiritually. , Progress at Musquash has been marked by the care token of the parish church, the nave of which was erected over sixty years ago. Later a gothic chancel was added and more recently a spire. During the past year the church has received a badly needed coat of paint, and has been generally repaired both within and without. A handsome stained glass chancel window has been ordered from Messrs. J. C. Spence & Sons, of Montreal, which will soon be placed in position. I must not omit to mention that the people had the parsonage put thoroughly in repair ready for my arrival. Nor must I forget to state that the Musquash people have just presented me, at an agreeable surprise party at the rectory, with a handsome raccoon skin coat, accompanied by a warmly worded and most appreciative testimonial. In the parish c f Lepreaux the old church at Dipper Harbour was long known to be situated too far from the homes of the congregation, besides being too small and in bad repair. The people, who mostly resided at Mace's Bay, determined to erect a new one in their midst. And here I must emphatically express ray admiration evoked by the unanimity, the enthusiasm and the self-sacrifice of these people in the matter. They re- garded not their own comfort nor the giving of a very large portion of their time and their money earned in severe toil and constant peril on the sea. Within three months they erected 49 a church which will seat about; 200 people, and which, for beauty, for convenience and durability, will compare with any in the country places of the diocese. A sweetrtoned bell, from the McShane Bell Foundry, of Baltimore, was secured, and now from the tower of Trinity Church, Mace's Bay, sends it« entreating summons over land and sea. The site of the church was generously given by David Mawhinney, Esq. It is trusted that what little debt still remains on the building, which altogether cost about $1,700, will shortly be w-ned out, so that the Bishop may be enabled to consecrate the fabric. Where all have worked so heartily in advancing the cause of Christ along the lines of our Apostolic Church, it would seem invidious to mention names. Still I may say that Messrs. J. & L. B. Knight, at Musquash, and G. H. Thomas, Esq., at Mace's Bay, have been leaders in this noble work. Nor have the ladies been idle. By means of bazaars and various other gatherings they have added largely to the treasury of the Lord. • : '• Regarding purely spiritual work in the parish, I have en- deavoured to keep this prominent. I have conducted during this past summer nightly evangelistic services at Mace's Bay, New lliver, and Musquash. The results are known, accurately, only to the Lord, V)ut many outward signs have been afforded that show the Holy Spirit was with us of a truth, and numbers have expressed a new experience of the saving power of Jesus, through appropriating faith. A confirmation service was held by the Bishop of the diocese, on December 28, last, in St. Ann's, Musquash, when eleven men and eleven women were presented by the rector. My personal efforts in the parish have been interrupted by sickness, caused by the pressure of the work of this large district, and at last I was compelled to take advantage of leave of absence, kindly granted by the Bishop last spring. The work of the Church was continued during this time by the Rev. J. Smith, of St. John, whose services were provided by the Colonial and Con- tinental Church Society, through the kind offices of the Rev. J. de Soyres, M. A., of St. John. The needs of the parish, most pressing, concern principally Lepreaux Village and Prince of Wales Settlement, at both of which places we are without any church |building, although the prospects of the Church are most encouraging. At Prince of Wales the land is offered freely for a site, but the people are i 50 financially unable to arise and build, and in the meantime we are obliged to rent a school-house. At Lepreauit,. there is no suitable hall of any kind, and services are held meanwhile at the residence of Mrs. Melvin, who throws her house open freely. But at both these places a congregation of about fifty is readily gathered. There should be churches for these congregations. May the Lord dispose His people to come to our aid. Yet, in view of the whole work in the district, we may well thank God and take courage. < NEWCASTLE AND NELSON — REV. P. G. SNOW. Whilst others in the diocese are reporting good work done, H hardly becomes us to be silent. Though not moving ahead as rapidly as others, we arc doing a little towards improving the « oiritual and material condition of the Church in this parish. At Nelson, thanks chiefly to the energy and self-denying labour of the ladies, ^150 have been placed in the hands of the rector to complete the interior of St. Mark's Church. The sum of $90, the proceeds of a sale of work and tea, by the " Young Women's Guild of St. Andrew," have been placed in the hands of the vestry clerk to go towards paying oflf the debt incurred in painting St. Andrew's Church and school-room. There is still a debt of $200. The visit of our Bishop is always looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure, the only regret expressed was that he could not be present on a Sunday, when many more would have had an opportunity of seeing and hearing him. On Monday, July 13, 1896, confirmation was administered in St. Mark's Church, Nelson, in the afternoon, and at St. Andrew's, Newcastle, in the evening. Quietly and orderly each knelt to receive the out-pouring of God's Holy Spirit, in response to the supplication of God's chief minister, with the outward sign of imposition of hands. The demeanour and apparent earnestness of the candi- dates gave hope of their sincerity and devotion. The Bishop, as usual, was very plain and thorough in his addresses. There was a simplicity in his words adapted to the capacity of a little child, and at the same time a sublimity which might well arrest the attention of the ripest scholar. What he said will long be remembered by the congregations, and will doubtless bring forth fruit to God's glory. These visits of the Bishop to the various 51 parishes do an incalculable amount of good. The clergyman is thereby cheered in his work and his hands are strengthened. The congregation learn to feel a warmer interest in their Bishop, and their attachment to their Church grows deeper. The grace of confirmation not only descends upon the candidates them- selves on these occasions, but also overflows and reaches the souls of numerous others. On Sunday, September 26, we had the pleasure of extending a hearty welcome to Lord and Lady Aberdeen and Lady Marjorie, who attended service in our little church of St. Mark's, Nelson. We have lately sustained a heavy loss through the departure from among us of Miss Annie Harley, one of our best Sunday- school teachers and Church workers. She carries with her to her new sphere of usefulness the best wishes of her co-workers and the many friends she has left Iwhind. In places like this wf cc'i ill aflord to lose such helpers as she was. Miss Harley wai. H, iLe organist of St. Andrew's church, and her place has been i) i by her cousin. Miss Susie Sargeant. "We are sincerely thankful to Almighty God, the Giver of all good, for His good hand upon us during the past year, and we look forward humbly, but with hope, for His guidance and blessing in the future. NEW DENMARK-~HEV. CHARLES E. MALMANN. ' ^1 V'' ' various The mission field at present assigned to my charge comprises the parishes of Drummond, Grand Falls, and St. I^eonard's. For these I have the following stations : New Denmark, Foley Brook, Undine, Grand Falls, and St. Leonard's. What has l)een accomplished in the past year for the Church in those five places, is the purport of this report. I begin with New Denmark, and mention first the new rectory. Through many difficulties this building was so near completion last November, that we were able to move into it and enjoy more favourable quarters than we did the winter previously. The rectory is completed, and valued as a piece of property, at $1,200. For improvements made this summer we liave $150 to pay ; this done, the building will be free from debt. rt would have been impossible to bring this project to so speedy and satisfactory a consummation had we not received much aid from many considerate Church people of this diocese; and in be- half of the parishioners of St. Ansgar's church, New Denmark, I W: i ir 52 hereby acknowledge with gratefulness the help we have received for this impoitant work. I may just mention that the rectory is not painted. Next thing to consider is St. Ansgar's church. In the report for 1895 this church was said to be "good and finished." This, however, must have been a stretch of the writer's imagination, and I am sorry to say this "good, finished church " has, within the last year, caused me much trouble. There never were any sashes in the window frames, hence, last winter, the panes, which sat in loosely, kept coming out, and pieces of clapboards, shingles, and rags, had to be put in to keep out wind and snow. New windows have been procured this summer. But the greatest surprise came to me last spring, when the whole church edifice was about to fall to the ground. On a close investigation I found that the church had been built on cedar posts, which were set on the surface of the ground, not one was in the earth one and one-half feet. The chancel end of the church stood in immediate danger of falling. I made an appeal to the parishioners for a stone foundation, and inside of a week fifty loads of stone were put on the premises by my people, as their donation to the work. It became necessary for me, as money can not be raised in the colony, to interest Church people in the province to help me. Several of our friends in St. John and Fredericton most willingly contributed of their means to this work, and enabled me to buy lime and hire stone-masons. A stone founr'ation seven feet high has been built under the chancel end ; this will keep the church edifice secure, till at another season ^e can procure means enough to put stone work under the whole structure. I ask kind and generous Church people to remember me in the restoration work of St. Ansgar's church, for much is yet needed. The interior of St. Ansgar's has been beau- tified with a fine reredos, executed by Col. Raymond of Wood- stock, and it is a credit to him for excellent workmanship. The young people of St. Ansgar's have given a beautiful brass cross, and Father Davenport has made us a present of a pair of fine vases. I am indebted in gratitude to Miss Christian of St. John, for two white antependia, and to Mrs. Brigstocke, for a purple one. The C. B. S. have presented us with a fine commun- ion set, which we were much in need of, and for which we are truly grateful. I will now turn to the spiritual work in this parish. Services have been regularly held on Sundays and Saints' days. These have been well attended, and regular communicants are on the increase ; from twenty-five to fifty receive at every celebration. ■wrr cross, lof fine John, [purple imun- Ich we jrvices These m the Iration. (it^i..,^ .i. \4^i u I have found it impossible to attend to the instruction of the children on Sundays, and therefore thought it better to give religious instruction on a week day. Every Saturday afternoon, from 1 to 3 o'clock, children are taught the Church catechism and Bible history, at the parish church. I am greatly encouraged in this work ; from forty to fifty children come regularly for in- struction, and I have the pleasure of superintending this very important work. Twenty-six candidates for confirmation are ta,ught weekly in the parish church. It is my personal con'ic- ti(m that if the young people are to be kept in the Church after confirmation, and become faithful in the discharge of their duties to the Church, they are not to be rushed to the rite of " the laying on of hands" with one or two weeks' instruction, but through a careful training in the " apostolic doctrine," of one year. I must hasten to say a little about the other mission stations. Foley Brook — This is five miles from the parish chuich ; it is the north-eastern extremity of our Danish colony. At this place I give a week-day service once a month. A Danish Baptist preacher who tried hard to sow the seed of contention amongst the people of our parish church, but failed, has begun a work in Foley Brook. By joining the so-called Patrons of Industry he has succeeded in captivating five families to hear him preach. No immersions have yet taken place. Grand Falls — Through the aid of the W. A. S. it became possible to have the interior of All Saints' Church painted and decorated. Services have been regularly held, the communicants' list augmented, aud some candidates are awaiting confirmation. St. Leonards — At this place I give a monthly Sunday service. These are always well attended. Undine — Since July 1, 1897, this field of labour has become mine. I have very little to say regarding it. The church edifice needs painting. "This is the first place of worship I have been in since I came to the province where cedar blocks and rough planks are the substitutes for chairs *or pews. Some decent chancel furniture is greatly needed. I hope to be able to give two services a month at this place ; and my belief is, that an extra effort, in tne form of a special mission service, would help greatly to awaken the people. In closing this report I desire to express my gratitude to all who have in any way assisted me in my work ; especially do I wish to recognize the generous kindness of Mrs. John Berryman, of St. John, who in numerous ways has provided for our personal ■r^ I h . 'X 54 comfort. This lady has donated ten storm windows for the rectory, which is to us a great boon. I present a list of contributors to the D. C. S., from New Denmark. The amount raised is $25.05 — a free offering for the General Purposes of the Society. And now, with humble acknowledgment of God's sustaining mercy, which alone has enabled me through trials and sorrows, to carry on the work entrusted to me, and praying God will bless our every labour of love for His Church, I submit this my second report. ■liX --Jit* )■■>>•*■ '"' 'd> ':^it een commenced at <^)linvilie, a place nine miles from the rectory at Welsford, Here the service of our church had not been heard for fifteen years previously, and it seems to be much appreciated, as the attendance is always large and an evident interest has l)een awakened. On September 8 last the annual Church jncnic took place at Armstrong's Corner, the centre of the parish, and was in every way a great success, there being between 600 and 700 present. Men, women and children attended from all parts of the out- lying country, and the sum of -9227, free of all expenses, was realized, which entirely cleared the parish of debt, and sent both parson and people on their way rejoicing. During the year past a mach-needed horse shed has been built at the Headline Church, a most exposed site, thus enabling the attendants to worship with greater peace of mind, knowing that their horses are sheltered from wind and cold. A substan- tial picket fence has been erected in front of St. Luke's Church, Welsford, and has been neatly painted, enclosing, as it does, one of the most beautiful church sites in the diocese. I would herewith express my thankfulness to Almighty God for the very pleasant and kindly feeling that exists between pastor and people, and that there is nothing to hinder the work of God in this parish. •-:: ^T ,. *'' ';:tj'\ '?'irT^;'.''^'Ti '■ •' ''i^.--^- ti't •thx' • , ! ^'.v!*;' '" [vii. -. 67 •lii !'l PRINCE WILLIAM AND DUMFRIES— REV. G. F. )th ing ;an- rch, one iod een ^ork .*^: •!VJi'<'- X SCOVIL, B. A. In beginning my report, I wish to testify to the excellent work done in this mission by the Rev. A. A. Bryar»t, during the summer previous to my coming here. Although he was only here three months, in that time he prepared and pre- sented fifty-two candidates for confirmation. His work revived an almost dormant field, and laid a good foundation for me to build on. I have been here a little more than a year. And in that time I can see considerable growth. Services are all well at- tended. In place of two, we have four Sunday-schools, and with largely increased attendance. Bible classes were held during the summer months, and were always encouraging. The com- municants' list is gradually getting larger. The last report to the D. C. S. gives twenty-three, we now have sixty-five regular communicants and twelve occasional. Two hanging lamps, and some aisle matting have been placed in St. Clement's Church. All Saints' has been provided with a second upright stove, and another large hanging lamp. The roof has been painted and the west end vindow repaired. We have to thank the Women's Sewing Circle for most of the improvements in this church. They are most untiring in their work. Whenever the rector wants any money for the church, they are always ready with it. Magundy is sorely in need of a new church. Old St. John's is not fit to hold services in during the cold weather. So we have to remove to the Orange hall. St. Paul's, the old parish church of Dumfries, has been made a little brighter by the ladies placing in its chancel a new carpet and also a blind for the large window. At Blaney Ridge we hold the services in the school-house. There is always a fair attendance with very good responses. The monthly services started at Hawkshaw are most encour- aging. There I have my largest average attendance. While the people are not nearly all Church members, yet they take part heartily in the responses and singing. The Church people of Allendale, although five miles away, attend these services and are exceptionally regular. There certainly is good work to be done by the Church in this locality. ■ j^^. ,. k* i" u I, We have Htarted to build a rectory on the old site, near JSt. Clement's Church. I hoped to present a fairly large number of candidates for confirmation this month ; but on account of my illness his Lord- ship's visit has been postponed. RICHIBUCTO — REV. H. A. MEEK. ■t \ .' r ' I -I f I have been in this parish one year and am thankful to be able to present a favourable report of our work. Through the kindness of Mrs. J. Cochrane and her late lamented husband the people, in the year before I came, were enabled to renovate the interior of the parish church. The gallery has been removed and the old pews replaced by seats of modern style. New lamps have been placed throughout the building, and we now have an attractive and comfortable place of worship. The exterior has been painted. The church at Kingston has been newly painted outside, and we are about to renovate the inteiior, and hope to be able to add in the near future a porch and turret. The church at Buctouche, eighteen miles away, has been beautifully finished and decorated inside at the expense of J as. Barnes, Esq., M.P.P., and the congregation, though only five families, have just painted the exterior ; and when the contem- plated work on Kingston church is finished, we shall have a parish with three churches, equal to any in the country parts of the diocese , though I fear that, owing to the extent to which the resources of the people have been taxed, in carrying out the work above noted, together with the depression in trade and the exceedingly poor fishing season, we shall not be able to do this without outside help. The porch above mentioned for Kingston church is really a necessity, as the door opens from the street abruptly into the church and of times prove a sad distraction to divine worship; and if a porch were added, no matter how plain and simple, it would be a great help in maintaining reverence. Added to the above the people have, by wise and careful managing, succeeded in disposing of the old rectory and procur- ing a splendid and convenient property near the church, and in a very charming location. There remains a small debt, but we hope soon to get it cleared oflF. m man blesi to a deal of t 'ally a the (rsbip ; iple, it 3aryful )rocur- and in )ut we You will see by thiM that our dear people have worked with a loving zeal to bring about such manifest improvements in our Churcli property in the face of " hard times," and are deserving of every encouragement. I have found in the course of my work a few families at Kouchibouguac, twelve miles from the rectory, the work has lain dormant for a few years, but I think this place calls for the attention of the clergyman. I expect to average four services on my return and hope to be able to present a favourable report next year. We are working on a plan which proves of great help in our financial affairs, viz.: vestry meetings held monthly, and I must bear testimony to the faithful way in which the vestrymen attend to their duty. In connection with this, mention ought to be made of Messrs. F. S. Sayre and R. Cochrane, in Richibucto, and J. Forster, in Kingston, for their untiring zeal in doing the sexton work (and it is well done) for the sake of saving the purse of the congregation. Mr. C. Douglass does the same at Buctouche, and our churches are at all services noticeably clean and tidy and comfortable. Mr. Allen Haines, as treasurer, has proved a valuable officer in our work, and Mr. W. Hudson has devoted much time and trouble to the Sunday-school work. The Sunday-school is prospering, having a roll of about seventy-five, with sometimes an attendance of sixty. The num- ber of communicants is gradually increasing, and all our people are manifasting a warm interest in our work. There hav*» been twelve baptisms, four marriages and three deaths. I have procured grants of books for the parish, 150 Prayer books from the S. P. C. K., and 52 hymn books from the publishers of Hymns, Ancient and Modern. Oct sincere thanks are due to both of these societies for their kindness. In November, 1896, we were favoured with a visit by the Bishop, when seven candidates came forward for confirmation. It is my earnest desire that a mission be held in the parish in the near future, when, if the Master be pleased to send us a man full of the spirit, there may be poured out upon us a rich blessing in spiritual things, that many dear souls may be brough^< to a fuller realization of the blessings procured by the life and death of our Blessed Lord, and to make a personal appropriation of the gift of God, which is "eternal life through Jesus Christ 'fi*.'l1t.' ^i i;i' our Lord." Earnest prayer is humbly solicited, that His gracious promise may be fulfilled then, as well as all times, ** I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me." Unbounded thanks are due to our Heavenly Father for His manifold mercies and favours — and w6 ourselves so unworthy, yet rejoicing that we aie permitted to take a part in advancing the interests of the kingdom of our Ijord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I cannot close without gratefully acknowledging the good will of our dear people, manifested in their continued kindness, and the interest they take in our welfare. RICHMOND-REV. A. W. TEED, M.A. Very hearty services were held at St. John's church, on May 31, which was the 25th anniversary of its consecration. Dean Partridge very kindly came up and preached to large con- gregations at both Hcrvices. The visit of the Dean was looked forward to by many, as nineteen years ago he conducted a mis- sion in Richmond. His too brief visit was much appreciated. Former rectors of Richmond were invited to be present, but none of them were able to be with us. A meeting of the Church of England S. S. Association, for the deanery of Woodstock, was held in Richmond, on July 27, and on the following day a meeting of the clergy of the deanery. I believe that both Sunday-school and other work received a little freshening up from these meetings. 1 have again to tender my thanks to Mrs. Medley for a gen- erous donation towards a very beautiful set of book markers for the parish churci. The hope expressed last year that a horse-shed would soon be built near St. John's Church, has been realized, and a building 34 X 60 feet, has been nearly completed. . ., ;. ./ I am also able to report a further advance in the work on the interior of St. John's Church. The ceiling of the nave has been sheathed with spruce, and the rafters grained oak colour. Most of the lumber was given, and some work as well, yet the expense incurred was about $135. By our own exertions ((especially those of the Sunshine Club), supplemented by the kind assistance of some friends beyond the parish, funds have been raised to the amount of $121, so that the debt is now not very formidably. St. Paul's Church — nave, chancel, and vestry — has been re- shingled, and a little more work done on the church grounds. The parish registers for the year ending May 1, show eleven baptisms, two marriages, nine burials.

V^o have experienced the old struggle for life the past year, and are still living, and ahle at present to obey the ap' itolic injunction to " owe no man anything, save to love one another." We feel especially thankful in this matter since our incident;:! ex xnse^ have been unusually heavy and the receipts from gl« He and church lands much less than usual. Our church organ has needed repairs to the extent of $80, and a further sum of $80 has been required for furnishing new choir stalls. A very hand- some carpet has also been provided for the sanctuar/. The parish church at Westcock has also been provided wLh u new organ and the roof shingled. We beg to acknowledge with much pleasure and deep thankfulness the receipt of a rich and beauti- y^ ful altar cloth from Mrs, Medley, an offerifig in memory of the sa'nted dead, St. Paul's being the first church built in the pro- vince after designs furnished by our late and beloved Metropoli- tan. We have just been strengthened by a visit from the Bishop of the Diocese, who came to us on the 23rd September for the purpose of confirmation, when fifteen candidates wore presented. The mission of Bale Verte and Tidnish is prospering under the most effectual assistiince of our lay-reider, Mr. Geo. T. Bryant. Fourteen candidates for confirmatT: :> \re now waiting to be presented at a confirmation to. be held by the Bishop of Nova Scotia in the early part of November.

Something is also collected for the assessment. The Society will see from these facts that the mission of St. David is very extensive, comprising three large parishes, with six churches and three stations. It is also very scattered ; the church-wardens of the different parishes do not even know one another, and the people do their marketing at three different towns, St. Andrews, St. Stephen, and St. (Jeorge ; while between St. David and St. Patrick the civil parish of St. Croix intervenes, thus making the Sunday drives very long. While the rectory is about the centre of the mission, tb.ei*e is no church near, necessi- tating a drive of l>etween tliree and five miles for the missionary after each evening service. ST. GEORGE and PENNFIELD— REV. R. E. SMITH, M.A. • '■ ' The chief event which I have to report in the two parishes of St. George and Pennfield is the visit of the lx>rd Bishop on September 27 and 28. In St. (ieorge a large congregation wa.s present and listened with great pleasure to his Lordship's very able address. Eight candidates were confirmed. There are very few unconfirmed in this parish, so many having been confirmed heretofore. Eight were confirmed in Christ's Church, Pennfield, two who expected to be oonfirnted were unable to attend. We may say that the pariah of Petinfield is boominy, the church on every Sunday being filled. The mm, an well as the womeny in this parish are willing co-workers with their rector, and their great delight is to meet on the Sunday in the parish church for worship and communion. Christ Church has a beautiful chancel window, in memory of the first rector, the Rev. Samuel Thomson, the gift of his daughter, Mrs. Neville Parker, while the windt)ws in the nave are large, square and old-fa.shioned. We are contemplating putting in Gothic windows instead, which will make a great im- provement in the appearance of the church. The number of communicants in both parishes is over 130. And HOj with much to encourage, and often much to discour- age, we work on, having faith that God will give the increase. Our contributions to Diocesan Church Society will amount to the demands of the Society, and we think that not only our parishes, but all the parishes in the Diocese, will never cease to be thankful to this grand old Society which has done such a III.- il I ''ill grand and noble work, and is now about to pass out of existence. Its very name bore weight, and it was enough to mention it to bring forth a subscription. Its originators, its patrons, its up- holders are worthy of no small meed of praise, and while we approve of amalgamation, as the simplest and the best method, we cannot help shedding a tear at the prospective demise of the grand old Diocesan Church Society.

' During the past year the services of the Church have been regularly held in this parish. The number of Church people here is small. I have got the envelope system fairly well estab- lished, but we cannot raise our assessment by this means alone, as we have only about forty-seven subscrilxjrs and $400 to raise. I was joing to apply to the Board for a reduction of our assess- ment, but when I got the Bishop's letter of September 24th, and found that the Home Mission Fund Account was overdrawn to the tune of $1,000, I concluded that we must grin and bear it. But I don't know how it is going to be raised. We cannot stand any more pressure at present ; to apply it would V)ring about a complete collapse. His liOrdship the Bishop visited this parish on the 27th of September, 1896, and confirmed seventeen persons, fourteen of whom have become communicants. Last summer we had our church organ repaired, and the side walls and ceiling of the nave of the church sheathed with narrow spruce. Our church is now very comfortable, and presents a very churchly appearance inside, which is more than I can say about the out- side. The Women's Aid Association supplied most of the funds for this purpose, and the Guild supplied a little. Both theqe organizations are at present, I regret to say, suffering from a severe attack of coma, which, unless speedily relieved, I fear, may become chronic, and perhaps prove fatal. Since making my last report, fifteen persons have been bap- tized (thirteen children and two adults) fourteen persons have been buried, and five couples havp been married. ST. MARK — REV.

There is nothing of importance to communicate to the General Committee this year. The services of the Church have been regularly conducted. The congregations at Christ Church, St. Stephen, have been larger than usual during the year. The number of communicants is larger than at any time in the history of the parish, and, out of a total of 136, 126 communicated on Easter Day. The addition to the Sunday-school building has been completed at a cost of $230, which is paid for. This work was done by the Young Women's Guild, which still continues its good work. The Sunday-school is not much larger in numbers, but I believe that faithful work is being done by the teachers. It is hoped that the Deanery Sunday-school Teachers' Association, lately formed, will promote and increase the efficiency of the schools. The Bishop of the Diocese administered the apostolic I ii (19 rite of confirmation on December 5th to twenty-one candidates, all hut three of whom have become regular communicants. The Diamond Jubilee of Her Gracious Majesty was duly observed. On Sunday, June 20th, the special service for the occasion was used. The militia company attended the morning service, and the St. Stephen Band assisted in the music. A bust of the Queen, procured from England, has been placed over the west door, and was unveiled at the jubilee service during the singing of the National Anthem. The flags which surround the bust were presented by Rev. E. Medley, a former rector of the pari h, who chose the bust for us in England. The list of contributions to the Society amounts to f 79.43. Our only regret is that it is not much larger. The money has l)een sent to the Treasurer. H'.tii; SIMONDS~REV. L. A. HOYT, M. A. eneral been I, St. The istory ed on ig has work aes its onbers, chers. iation, of the ostoUc The parish has, since the last report, received great spiritual profit from the visit of his Lordship the Bishop, who at services in Garnet and Coldbrook, gave to these stations great spiritual comfort and aid. His Lordship held a confirmation at Garnet in the afternoon, and after adventure and misadventure his Lordship, with the rector of the parish, arrived at Coldbrook, where a confirmation was held. The candidates confirmed in the parish during the year were five — a small number ; but there were circumstances in the services which give one much cause to thank God and take courage. The feature of the year, from a material point of view, has b^en the building of a church at Red Head. The material is all upon the ground, and the walls have been erected. In this work the parishioners gratefully acknowledge the kindness of many friends in St. John and elsewhere, for their sympathy and aid, especially they desire to name Mrs. Medley, of Fredericton, for a contribution of $25, and Mr. Craig W. Nichols for one of $10. With great pleasure the parish recognizes the eflforts of some little girls, who by the exercise of self-denial during I^ent, and by other exertions, have made offerings from time to time, by which the congregation have been much encouraged, at the same time hoping to receive from their friends in St. John still further assistance. l! !■ If 1: if «:1 i' I i m SPRINGFIELD— REV. A. J. CRESSWELL. The chief event to report from this parish is the ordination of the Rev. G. F. Scovil, B. A., in the Lenten Embertide. Sunday, March 18, proved a beautiful day, and as the roads were good a large congregation gathered for the service. Morning prayer was said at 9 a. m., and the ordination service began at 11 a. m. Besides the Bishop we were fortunate in having with us the Revs, the Rural Dean, S. J. Hanford, H. S. Wainwright, A. J. A. Gollnier, C. A. S. Warneford, and Mr. H. H. Gillies, B. A., lay reader. There were sixty-six communicants, the ma- jority being men. The parish church was filled, and very many were deeply interested in seeing one Advanced to the priesthood who had given many tangible proofs of earnestness in Church work in this and other parishes. In the evening the Bishop and clergy drove to SS. Simon's and Jude's Church, where his Ijordship preached a most practical sermon. Personally I wish to thank him much for this visit to us, undertaken, as I know, at much inconvenience, his Lord ship being quite unwell at the time ; but I can assure him that this impressive service created a deep impression in the minds of my parishioners and others. Mr. Gillies proceeded to the General Theological Seminary, New York, on September 15, and in the matriculation examina- tion made nearly perfect marks in some of his papers. He has since won an open scholarship of $100. Since July 10 I have been released from the parish of Stud- holm, which is now under the care of the rector of Sussex. I may ptate that Sunday-school work is progressing both at Trinity and SS. Simon's and Jude's Churches. The former has only a limited number of scholars, but the latter is much larger, and, owing entirely to the earnestness of the Superintendent, Harry Scovil, is in a flourishing condition. i ' v/j^:ryv ^w- ,.| The congregations are uniformly large in this church. A new organ has just been purchased, and a branch of the Women's Aid had been started in connection with the church. The Women's Aid of Trinity Church have done nobly during the past year, their latest gift being a new carpet for the aisles of the church. 71 STANLEY— REV. A. B. MURRAY, M. A. ( Stud- lex. I rinity only a , and, Harry Anew omen's The le past of the In saying good-bye to the D. C. S. I wish, on behalf of the people of Stanley, to express our thanks for the liberal aid on- joyed for so many years. .} 1,, Since the last meeting of the Society the services and minis- trations of the Church have been conducted regularly in the churches and at the various stations, and the attendance at the services has been good. On account of the number of mission stations, and long distances between them, the Sunday services at each are necessarily few, and the pastoral visits less frequent than I would wish, and consequently you cannot expect to hear of startling r jults. Yet I can report the work as, in many respects, encouraging. Last summer we built a beautiful new church at Tay Creek, capable of seating a hundred people. The cost of building was about $1,300, and it speaks much for the zeal and earnestness, and generosity of the people of the Tay Creek mission that this sum has nearly all been raised, and with very little outside help. The Girls' Branch of the W. A. A., Fredericton, kindly donated a beautiful chancel carpet, and Mrs. Medley, with her usual generosity, p>-esented us with beautiful altar cloths and kneeling cushions, for all of which we feel very thankful. On Sunday, June 20, we celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, by having a special service of thanksgiving in St. Thomas' church, and also in commemoration of the event the parishioners placed a handsome new alt«r in the church, which was then used for the first time, We have four Church Sunday-schools, with an enrollment of 115 scholars, and all doing a good work. The parish register shows, since July 1896, 29 baptisms, 7 confirmed, 10 hew communicants, 4 marriages and It burials. Du ring the summer months of the last and the present year wehad Mr. G. R. E. MacDonald with us, doing valuable work as Lay Reader. .^' •!: ■ ■'. STUDHOLM~REV. S. NEALES, M. A. Contributions to General Purposes of the Society, $14.90.

As T was only appointed to the parish of ITpham and Ham- mond in February hist, this, my first report to the D. C. S., must necessarily be brief. During this period various repairs have been made to the rectory. St. Peter's Church, Upham, has been re-roofed ; a new organ, costing .$75, has l)een bought, paid for and placed in St. Paul's Church, Hammond, whilst improvements are now being made in St. Barnabas' Chapel of Ease, in Barnesville. During the short period of my ministry here, I have faith- fully visited my people in this scattered district and administered the pure Word of God and the Sacraments on Sundays, besides holding some week-day services. ih-'m I have to acknowledge from Mrs. Medley the kind gifts of two altar frontals for St. Paul's, Hammond, and St. Barnabas', Barnesville, and a set of linen for the communion of the sick. The parish register, since February, shows 8 baptisms, 3 wed- dinirs and 7 burials. ^- r> m f:^\n WATER FORD AND ST. MARKS — REV. ALLAN W. SMT-HERS, B. A The Lord Bishop of the Diocese visited this mission in September, 1896, ard confirmed thirty-eight candidates, eight of whom were drawn from the adjacent parish of Sussex. The majority of those confirmed have since become communicants, and I hope that those who so far have not availed themselves of their highest spiritual privileges may soon be moved to do so. It is with some satisfaction that I find myself able this year to state that the Church hall, referred to as a possibility in our last report, has since become an accomplished fact, for the parish of St. Marks now possesses a very creditable hall, upon which only a small debt remains. It has been called the ".Medley Memorial Hall," in loving remembrance of the late Bishop, and of the Rev. Canon Medley, to whose self-sacrificing eflForts at Jeifries' Corner much of our present success is to be attributed. We are also indebted to Mrs. Medley, of Fredericton, for a hand- some picture of Bishop Medley, which now graces the walls of the new hall. We have to thank the same kind donor for a gift of $20, which enabled us to paint the exterior of the building. During the past year the appearance of the Church of All Saints n has been improved by the re-painting of the roof and by the addition of a graceful little belfry, Hurmounted by the emblem of our faith. The debt on tli*; mission room of 8t. Marks, Sussex, has been reduced by a further payment of ;$50. Some day we hope to be entirf;ly out of debt. At the mission r< in the congregation is smK,i], but united, and I can report a larger average attendance than for some years past. At Waterfoid, where *' the foe is strong and eager," the work, under the blessing of God, is being pushed forward under the stimulus of opposition from outside. The services are ren- dered heartily, and the congregation is most reverent. Here, in brighter days, we hope to raise a more fitting sanctuary for the praises of the Most High. A few subscriptions have already been pledged for this good object, and at no distant day the whole parish of Waterford will be systematically canvassed for the money necessary to fulfil a long-cherished project. Since my last report four picnics have l^een held in the mis- sion, and a goodly sura realized therefrom. It is only just to add that the proceeds of our picnics in bt)th parishes are not, except under very exceptional circumstances, applied to the support of the D. C. S. In St. Marks parish the money so acquired has been devoted to the reduction of the debt on the mission room, and to the building of the new hall. At Water- ford most of the money made at our picnics has been applied to the building and keeping in repair of the rectory and to other Church purposes. St. Marks parish is still in debt, and I cannot say that I entirely regret the fact, for sometimes a moderate debt on a parish is a blessing in disguise, inciting the faithful to greater liberality and indicative alike of our excellent credit and of the forbearing character of our creditors. Still we could dispense with the disguise, and meanwhile our very struggles go to show that life is by no means extinct. It may be stated, for the benefic of those who know but little of the mission room, that it was established by my predecessor some years ago to hold together those who resided in the newly-erected parish of St. Marks, and, if possible, to win back those who left the Church when the old parish church of Sussex was closed. Without going into ancient history, I can here say that, in spite of every discouragement, the mission room has proved her right to exis- tence, and it is pleasing to know that the little daughter which grew out of the side of the old church of Holy Trinity was ■f fn fi •^i: 74 permitted to minister to the mother during the dark ages, now happily past, and to afford the Hacrament8 of the Church to those righteous ones, who found within her walls for a little season their spiritoal home. Mother and daughter are now walking side by side " in sacred rivalry," the mother watching with interest the efforts of the child to keep upon its feet, and the daughter rejoicing in the knowledge that for the mother the reign of terror has been succeeded by the reign of peace. ( S!^ it WELDFORD AND HAHCOURT— REV. GEO. L. FREEBERN, M.A. During the past year the work in these parishes has been carried on along the usual lines. Regular services have been held in the parish church in Weldford, and in the church here in Uarcourt. Regular services have been held in four school houses, and occasional services in five others. The people seem to very greatly appreciate these school-house services. The Holy Eucharist is celebrated once each month in both churches. During the summer months there is an early celebration in St. Matthew's church, on the third Sunday in the month, also on all Saints' days. Extra services are held during Lent and Advent. I find the people of these parishes very appreciative of all that I do in their service, especially do I find this to be true in the case of the sick. With regard to the temporal affairs of the parishes some pro- gress has been made. The parish church has been painted throughout on the inside. Money has been raised, and the con- tract signed, for the painting of the outside. To accomplish the latter the rector has presented the Church with his old bicycle. I have to use my wheel so much in this extensive parish, that I was beginning to find that a more modern machine was needed. Very frequently I start out on a forty mile trip with my wheel, generally rendering two public services, and always making a number of parochial and sick calls. The people of the mission here in Haroourt have provided a new cemetery, which is now ready for consecration. The rector's little son, Cyril, was the first one to be buried in this cemetery. The outbuildings here have been improved by the building of a new bam, and other changes, which wUl provide accommodation for horses of parishioners who attend the services during stormy weather. Some changes have been made in the vestry of St. Matthew's church. We are always raising a little money, and hope to further improve the Church l)uiU]ing and the property of the rectory as occasion and our ability will permit. The value of the land in connection with the rectory has been greatly im- proved by the planting of an orchard, and by adding to the pro\^uctivene88 of the fields. From the record book I find that since I came to the parish, about two years ago, there have been sixty-six baptisms, eight have been confirmed ; there have been six weddings and twenty- one funerals. ' ' We feel that some progress has been made in this field, but we trust that this progress, under God, may V)e greatly enhanced as all the branches of the work come to be more thoroughly systematized. * WEHTMORLAND -REV. D. M. BUSS, B.A. Contributions to General Purposes of the Society, JJ29.60. WICKLOW— REV. J. E. FLEWELLING. We have had several red-letter days in the mission of Wick- low during the past year. August 9, 1896, Bishop Kingdon visited the mission, when seven adults were baptized and twenty- three confirmed. In February last Rev. John M. Davenport very kindly visited ua and held services at Centreville, Green- field and East Florenceville. The services, which lasted about a week, were well attended and much appreciated. Rector and parishioners were helped spiritually. The people at East Florenceville have secured a suitable site for a church, and building operations will begin early next year. There is a dark side. During the Bishop's visit word reached me of the serious illness of my son at Edmundston. I was much helped in bearing up by the Bishop's exceedingly kind sympathy so thoughtfully tendered. Human sympathy is help- ful, even if Divine sympathy is more precious. A week after the Bishop's visit my dear little boy, about seven years old, was buried by the Rev. Scovil Neales. One of my parishioners at Florenceville passed away in August of this year. She is greatly missed from social and church circles. Mrs. Charles A. Wiggins, nee Miss Amelia Peters, will long be remembered both in Kings and Carleton Counties. f-ii : ?'::. i';'' III *« In prosecution of my work I find that the sun doesn't always shine, there are cloudy days. By the help of the Ijord I hope to brighten up the dark spots as much as possible. My parishioners have been more thoughtful of my welfare during the past year than ever before, more extra gifts being forthcoming from Bristol and Greenfield than usual. Arid St. John ladies kindly remembered my family and parishioners at Greenfield by sending a Christmas box well stored with useful articles, for which rector and people are thankful. My mission has not done badly in its contribution to D. C.S., the amount this year being $74.38, only $8.86 less than last year. , Now to Him who has so wonderfully blessed me, and who has incited others to do so much for His unworthy servant, I wish to render most hearty and sincere thanksgiving. WOODSTOCK, WAKEFIELD, NORTHAMPTON AND BRIGHTON— YEN. ARCHDEACON NEALES, M. A. Since August of last year I have had the valuable and ac- ceptable assistance in the mission of the Rev. W. B. Belliss, who while doing much work in Woodstock, has had for his special duty the care of the outlying parishes of Wakefield, Northampton and Brighton, and as a result the whole mission has been quite fully ministered to, and the services kept up with regularity. A parish magazine — The Dawn of Day, localized — has had a suc- cessful year, with 200 subscribers, and forms a useful medium of information in local Church matters. A very beautifully carved Caen stone font has just been placed in St. Luke's church, as a memorial to our late beloved Bishop. It was manufactured by Wippell & Co., of Exeter, the stone font which it replaces going to St. Mary's church, Benton. Our various bands of Church workers have been specially engaged in lx>th reducing the debt on the parish hall, and in- creasing the fund for the new organ for St. Luke's church. St. Peter's church, Wakefield, has received in the past year a good coat of paint on the outside, and in the interior has been beauti- fully and becomingly decorated, through the zeal and energy of members of the Church. Hai tland is as yet the least promising portion of the whole mission, but the length of time of the Church's work there has not been very great, and theie are difficulties of a peculiar kind to be met with there. .f- 77 ^.■-;*- •■>■>!■»» J- •' !.•> PROCEEDINGS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE. Fredericton, N.

This, with $200 from the Robert Robinson memorial endowment fund, will make the stipend $700, with a house. This arrangement will provide regular Sunday services once a month at McAdam, besides week day services. New Bandon. A grant of $150 has been made on condition of a contribution of $100 to assist the rector to secure the ser- vices of a curate to help in the work, which includes the whole county of Gloucester. Bichibucto. to $361. The amount required was reduced for the yeai Wakefield, Brighton and Northampton. As Benton, now united with Canterbury, had hitherto contributed $75 a year to the work carried on in these parishes, the Board made a giant of $300, on condition of a contribution of $225. 125 (»RANT8 FOR PxRHONAfiK H0U8BH. A grant of iBlOO wjiH made to complete the rectory at Campbellton, on the usual conditions, to be paid as Hoon as the parish has secured a satisfactory title to the land. The money has not yet been paid, as the title is not yet in order. A grant of $100 has also In^en made, on the usual terms, to complete the rectory in the parish of Drummond. Outfit Grants.

A grant of $200 was made to the Bishop by the General Committee to defray the expenses of Divinity Students taking work in the Diocese during the summer months. The following payments have been made out of this grant up to 1st Septeml)er last : Mr. H. A. Cody $50 Mr. G. R. E. Macdonald 50 Mr. H. H. Gillies 50 Monthly Payments of Stipends of Clekjjy. During the past year the Board have been able to commence the payment of the stipends of the Clergy monthly instead of quarterly, as heretofore. It is hoped that the change has been of advantage to the Clergy, and that many parishes will follow the example of the Society, and make their payments monthly. There are no doubt .some parishes where it would l>e difficult to arrange for a monthly payment, but if once the system can lie adopted it will be found to have many advantages both for the parishes and the Society. Divinity Scholarship Fund. A grant of $120 has been made to Mr. F. M. C. Bedell at the General Theological Seminary, New York, and a grant of $ 1 20 to Mr. J. Hugh Hooper at King's College, Windsor. These grants are made subject to the regula- tions lately adopted by the General Committee. Needs op the Diocese. The Board appointed a Committee on this subject, and that Committee will present a report direct to the General Committee. 5! ■■ .: I 126 Anm'al Rtatrmknt fok S. p. O.

The Board submit the schedule of grants now in force in the Diocese, and recommend that this schedule be continued till June 30, 1898, subject to any alterations which the Boai'd of Home Missions of the D. C. S. may find necessary before December 31 next, when the control passes to the Synod, and to any alteration which the Synod or the Board of Home Missions appointed by the Synod may make after December 31 next. Vacant Missions. The report of 1896 showed five vacant missions. The Board are glad to say that there are only three vacant now — Albert, Andover and Bright. The Board have advised the Bishop to fill all vacant missions believing that the Church people of this Diocese will see to it that the funds required to pay the stipends will be found. They would urge the General Committee to take such action as seems to them most likely to secure a united, hearty effort to increase the annual income so that no parish may l)e closed for want of money to pay the stipend of the missionary and to ensure that the D. C. S. shall not end its history with a deficit. There can hardly be a doubt that the members of the Church of England in this Diocese are able to support its work if each one will take his or her full share of the responsibility in the matter. The returns and minutes of business transacted since June 30, 1896, accompany this report. Respectfully submitted, by order of the Board. GEO. A. SCHOFIELD, Secretary.

Report of the Conimittee od Interesting Sunday-Schools in Home Missions, and on the Promotion of Sunday-Schools. To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop, and the General Com- mittee of the Diocesan Church Society : The Committee beg to submit the following report : A special Advent circular was issued this year requesting the Clergy to urge their children to subscribe, as usual, to the Children's Mission Fund, and three thousand envelopes were again distributed to enable the children to make a Christmas offering. A Lenten appeal was written, and sent out to the Parishes and Missi'ons throughout the Diocese, with the full approval of his Lordship the Bishop. Two thousand mission boxes .were distributed, as against 1,055 of the previous year. Your Committee have pleasure in being able to report satis- factorily upon the results of the work, which shows an increase of some $75 over last year's amount. Parishes and Missions reporting offering* this year are 46, as against 48 of last year. The parishes and missions reporting subscriptions to the Children's Mission Fund this year are 41, as against 40 of last year. The number of Advent offerings reported ai*e 21, as against 27 of the previous year, and the number of Lenten offerings reported are 38, as against 29 of last year. Parishes and missions not reporting any offerings to the Children's Mission Fund are as follows : Burton, Cambridge, Canterbury, Carleton, Derby and Black- ville, Douglas and Bright, Gordon and Lome, Johnston, Mus- quash, New Maryland, Norton, Petitcodiac, Portland, Richmond, St. Mark (St. John), Trinity Church, St. Stephen ; Shediac, Sussex and Studhohn, Upham, Westfield and Westmorland. 133 of as the ast the )nd, liac, The total sum of children's oflFerings reported this year is $734.54, as against $793.53 of last year. The amount of Advent offerings reported to the Children's Mission Fund shows a deficit of $23 from last year's amount, whilst the Lenten offerings for this year are about $102 more than those of the previous year. The parishes and missions of Lancaster, St. David, St. Mar- tins and Wicklow have found it necessary to appropriate their Advent and I^nten offerings to make up the sum required by the Board of Home Missions in connection with the Society's grant. Comparing the amounts contributed this year with those of the preceding year, the figures show increased subscriptijns to the Children's Mission Fund of $5 and upwards from the follow- ing parishes and missions : Addington, Andover, Bathurst, Chatham, Grand Manan, New Denmark, Prince William and Dumfries, Rothesay, St. John (St. John), St. John Baptist (St. John), and Weldford ; while on the other hand there is a corresponding deficit from the Cathedral, Hampton, Southampton and Queensbury, and Wick- low. It is to be noted that this report does not deal with any contributions which may have been made by the children during Advent and Lent to Foreign Missions, and is only a statf Tfj^nt of subscriptions leported to the Children's Mission Fund r to any parish object. The Committee desire to concentrate their efforts to increase the contributions to the Children's Mission Fund in order to develop an unappropriated source of Church support. It is therefore to be hoped that the Clergy will not use these offerings for any parish object, but endeavor to devote the Advent and Lent contributions to this particular fund. The offerings contributed by the children throughout the year might well be used to meet all local demands. L'^pon the whole, the report shows a growing increase of interest and sym- pathy in this branch of diocesan work ; but there is yet ample room for improvement. The weakest place in the report is undoubtedly in the amount of support received from the children of our city churches, for of the nine Church schools within the City of St. John only five contribute to this fund, and one of this number — which has by no means the largest Sunday-school — subscribed this year $110 out of the $182, the total amount of these contributions. ,T'. 134 It will be clearly seen, from the figures quoted below, which have been compiled from the Sunday-school reports to the St. John Sunday-school Teachers' Association, that these nine city churches are not making representative offerings to the fund. Eight parishes report children's funds collected during 1896 to the amount of $1,581. St. Mark parish Sunday-.school is not included in this statement, so that the total sum of funds raised by these Sunday-schools might be estimated, at least, at .$1,781. Thus the amount of $182 contributed to the Children's Mission Fund cannot be said to be a proportionate oflFeiing from these nine city churches of St. John. And from the list of parishes and missions throughout the Diocese as named above which have as yet made no offerings, it is apparent that the children are not supporting their own Church ministrations to the extent they might. In the face of the present financial position of the Church, your Committee would venture to express the hope that the children's contributions as a source of Church aid will be worked up to a much greater extent than has at present been attained. There are computed to be about 5,500 Sunday-school scholars in the Diocese, and the sum of $550 is scarcely a representative contribution from such a l)ody of children for this most urgent object. In making this statement your Committee are not un- mindful of the fact that this report does not deal with those children's offerings which are made Sunday after Sunday through- out the year for general school purposes and outside objects. A grant of Prayer Books has been made during the year to the parish of Addington. As there is a sufficient amount still in hand to meet future demands, the Committee recommend the General Committee to transfer to the General Funds of the Society the whole amount of ofi'erings subscribed this year to the Children's Mission Fund.

Importations. — The amount of goods imported during the year was $939.03, which is $165.00 less than the amount of importations for last year. But as the sales reported above only show a difference of $22.00 less than those of the previous year, these figures indicate the sale of old stock, which your Committee still find it neces- sary to reduce in price in order to dispose of the same. It must, however, be observed that these discounts have only been made on the stock which has been the accumulation of years. This deterioration naturally decreases the amount of our surplus assets. Dawn of Day. — Eight hundred and fifty-four copies of this magazine have been subscribed for during the year, which is an increase of 104 copies on last year's number, and nearly liOO more than that of two years ago. It is encouraging to mark this growing advance, which is a step in the right direction. The magazine is its own best witness by what it contains, and your Committee feel sure that a further increase will be made in its distribution when clergy and laity alike become more acquainted with it. It is issued by the Parent Society in two forms — one in the form in which we import it at present, which is sold at one-half cent ; the other in a smaller size, of thirty-two pages instead of the twenty-four paged edition, which is double the pi ice, unless 500 or more copies be ordered, when a reduction of forty per cent will be made. In the smaller at m ■43 i;j» I form perhaps the magazine could still l)e made a more attractive parish publication, and if orders could he procured for 500 copies, importations could at once be made. Grants. ~T\ni accustomed liberality of the Parent Society has Iteen extended to us during the year, and grants have been nimJe as follows : To the parish of Richibucto, for Prayer Boooks, To the parish of Andover, towards the erection of a new church in the parish, To the mission of Blissville and Gladstone, for Service Books and IJibles, 5 40 Depository. -T\\& value of the stock on hand at the begin ning of the year was .^'2,368.22, and that of goods purchased during the year, at selling prices, was $939.03, making a gross total of $3,307.25. The sales amounted to $1,008.58 ; tht- stock on hand at the close of the year, on April 30 last, was valued in stock-taking at $2,247.32 ; and discounts allowed were $51.35 ; gross total, $3,307.25. Compaiing these figures with those of last year, we find the sales are less by $16.00, but this is more than compensated for l)y the fact, that in the previous year the Depository had an exhibit of books at the St. John exhibition which increased the sales some $20.00. In the past year we had no exhibit, and thus we may report a slight increase in the ordinary sales at the Depository throughout the year. The other differences are self-explanatory, viz.: the amount of imported goods being less by $165.00 than those of the previous year ; the amount of stock on hand must naturally show a corresponding difference, when the sales for the two years have been about the same. The hope was expressed in our last year's report that when publications other than those which come through the S.P.C.K. could be sold at the Depository, a wider sphere of usefulness and an extension of business might reasonably be expected. But while the anticipation of such increase is not altogether speculu tivft and visionary, yet there is just the possibility that such might not be the case. Your Committee have watched most closely the sales for the past few years, and although there has been no decrease to cause anxiety, still there has been no tangible proof of increase to warrant the expectation that the sales in the future are going to be much beyond the round sum of one thousand l.il) dollars. If the sales for the past few years are to he takeji as an indication of what we may reasonably reckon upon for the future, then it is just possible to see in them the maxinium mark of our business. Tf, however, on the other hand, our sales increase, then all business uncertainty will be a thing of the past, ann the accumulation of the last twnitv vearn. A Huh-committee was specially appointed to examine the stock carefully, and the alxjvo results were reported and approved liy your Depository Committee, and the generous ofler of the Parent Society to receive hack from the Depository a large num- Ijer of unsalable publications, and to allow the Committee full credit for the same, is to l)e gratefully acknowledged. In thus presenting this statement, the Committee can report the condition of the stock now in the Depository as satisfactory. In the report of assets and liabilities two further alterations have to be noted and explained. The stock on hand Decemlx'r .'M, 1897, and valued at selling prices, was $l,7r)9.08, which is now reduced fifty per cent, to bring it to cost price, and stands at $879.54. Hitherto the discount made has only U'en thirty- three and one-third per cent., but your Committee feel it necessary to make this alteration in order to show as nearly as possible the actual value of the goods. It was also deemed advisable to reduce the estimated value of the furniture and fittings to S7o from $90. These alterations apparently make a serious difference in the amount of surplus assets, but in reality the difference is merely the result of more correctly estimating and showing the value of the property on hand. It has been thought expedient to make these changes at this time, when the business is heing transferred to a newly-appointed lx)ard of management. Historical Sketch. — It will also be timely now, as well as of practical use to the incoming Board, to j?ive a resume of the work of the Depository from the time of its first inception down to this coming year. At a meeting of the 8. P. C. K. Depository Committee, held in Trinity Church School-room on July 15, 1874, rules for the management of the Depository were ordered to be prepared and submitted to the Executive Committee of the Diocesan Church Society, and a copy of the same to be sent with the first ordei- of books to the parent Society in England. The objects for which the Committee had been appointed were — (a) The importation of publications supplied by the S. P. C. K. ; (6) The circulation and sale thereof in a central Depository to be established in the City of St. John ; («) The circulation and sale of the publications throughout the Diocese by means of a colporteur. 142 This last oVjject does not appear to have materialized. Then the rules provided that members of the Church of England, being within the Diocese and subscribing no less than .$2.50 yearly to the funds of the Depository, should be entitled to be supplied with the publications at members' prices of the Parent Society, with the addition of such a percentage for duties and expenses as the Committee may fix. And the Committee were also to invite contributions of small sums to be applied in the first instance, together with the annual subscriptions of 62.50, to defray all local expenses connected with the working of the Depository. It appears that at this date a branch Depository already existed in Carleton, managed by the rector of the parish, the Rev. T. E. Dowling. On the formation of a Depository Committee negotiations were entered into to purchase tlie stock on hand at Carleton. Eventually it was bought and brought over to St. John, in October of 1874, and placed in the shop of Messrs. E. Peiler & Bros, in the city, who had agreed to provide room and to sell the books at a commission of ten per cent, on the sales. The books were sold to members at an advance of fifty per cent, on invoice price, and to non-members at an advance of seventy-five per cent, on the same. The Parent Society allowed the Depository fifty per cent, discount off the catalogue prices, but this reduction was changed at the end of 1877 to the present amount of forty per cent. The local discount allowed by the Committee was ten per cent, on Sunday-school library books, but in 1883 the discount «vas increased to twenty per cent. The first statement of accounts made up to March 18, 1875, showed sales to the amount of $500, and the stock on hand was valued at $738. The Depository was afterwards removed to the shop of Messrs. Jone-i & Morrison, in King street, which was a more convenient and suitable place. This removal was made in July, 1876, but the arrangement does not appear to have been satisfactory, for early in the following year it was again removed to the shop of Messrs. J. & A. McMillan, who agreed to provide the necessary room and sell the books on a commission of 15 per cent. Here it found a more permanent place of abode, and remained until it was brought into its present quarters, in May of 1893. In the Committee's report for 1877 we find the sales amounted to $898, and the stock on hand was valued at $929. In the St. John fire of 1877 the whole of the stock, which was then valued at $1,131, was destroyed, but it was insured for $1,000 in the Queen Fire Insurance Company. 143 1875, hand rlessrs. enient 6, but ry, for hop oi jessary which ired for In consequence of the fire the sales for the next year were only $362.44, but in the following year, 1879, they reached the highest amount ever attained, viz., $1,490, the stock on hand was valued at selling prices at $1,218, and the net assets amounted to $1,065. In the year 1880 the sales dropped down to $814, the stock on hand at selling prices was $1,356, and the net assets amounted to $1,173.84. The Committee in their report of 1882 expressed an anxious desire to increase the general circulation of the Society's publi- cations, within every Mission of the Diocese, and a colporteur was eventually appointed and all arrangements niade for the special work to be carried on, but the Committtee were at last disappointed in the withdrawal of the applicant from the appointment. " In order, therefore," the report proceeds to state, " to meet the increasing requirements of the diocese, the committee venture to recommend to the clergy of the deaneries of Chatham, Kings ton, Shediac, St. Andrews, and Woodstock, the desii-ableness of establishing deanery depositories in connection with the Diocesan Central Depository in St. John.' Branch depositories were established in most of the deaneries, but they were eventually found to be impracticable, as well as unprofitable in their results. The sales from 1881 to 1888 averaged about $1,000 each year, while for the next year there was a falling off to the amount of $100, and for the following year a further decrease of $100 more was reported, so that for 1888-9 there was a decrease of some $200. The lowest drop was in 1890, when the sales only amounted to $444, and the stock on hand was $1,283, with the sura of $1,484.91 as surplus assets. For the following year, 1891, the sales were $645, and the stock on hand was $1,379, with $1,513.77 of surplus assets. The next two years show again a decrease in the sales, the amounts being $494 and $470 for those years, respectively. In May of 1893 the Depository was removed to Germain street, and the sales for the first year's business show an increase of some $500 over the previous year, the stock on hand valued at selling pric(;s reached the highest sum yet attained, viz., $2,124, and the surplus assets were $1,171.29. Then, for the last three years, we have had a steady, though small increase in our sales over the round sum of $1,000. ...... J .. 144 The averaged amount of yearly sales for the past twenty years is about $900. This fact may very well be accepted as an indication that we have reached our maximum mark of business, unless, of course, the stock can be very materially increased, and made more at- tractive to the public generally by other importations than those of the H. P. C. K. But this is a matter for the new Board to consider. Then again, it is to be observed that our present expenses are more than double those of previous years. In 1879 the sales were $1,490, and the cost of handling the stock was $'29H. And in 1880 the sales were $814, and the working expenses were $198. Under the present arrangement the sales stand at $1,000 and the cost of handling the stock is $600. lie diflFerence is very jstriking, and the reason is obvious why the publications cannot be sold at lower prices. And it is of further interest to note that, at the initiation of the Depositoiy the advance was 75 per cent, over the invoice prices — notwith- standing thelarger discounts then allowed by the Parent Society- while now the amount added to cover expenses is 60 per cent. Here we have the explanation as to how the former com- mittee could then make money, and give grants of books and tracts to the different parishes and missions throughout the diocese. For instance, in the year 1890 grants were made to the amount of $80, but now it is as much as your Committee can do to make a clear balance on the right side of the accounts. Your Committee report that the present lease of the shop will expire on May 1, 1898, the rental of which is $175 per annum. A portion is sub-let to the Bible Society at a rental of $50 a year. The Curator and her assistant have given entire satisfaction in their work during the past year. Bicentenary of the S. P. C K. — In concluding this report your Committee take this opportunity of calling special attention to the fact that Tuesday, the 8th day of March, 1898, will be the two hundredth anniversary of the S. P. C. K. The Society is making extensive preparations for its celebra- tion, and it is hoped that thanksgiving services will be held on this day all over the world, in all dioceses which the society during the last two hundred years has been permitted to help. A special service, including a celebration of the holy com- munion, will be held on Tuesday, at St. Paul's Cathedral, when U5 the Archbishop of Canterbury has kindly promised to preach. It is desired that similar services may be held in other places, both at home and abroad, affording opportunities to all interested in the work, and especially to those who have been recipients of the benefits of the Society, for expressing their thanks to Almighty God for that providential support by which the Society has been enabled to spread abroad the knowledge of His sacred truth, and also for fervent prayers that His gracious favour may coutinue and abound towards it idjbhe years that are to come. In the Annual Report of the'Society, it is interesting to ob- serve the growth and development of the work. A comparison is made between 1837 and 1897, and attention is drawn to the vast expansion of the empire, and the increase of missionary ente'"^^rise during the present sovereign's reign. TI total number of books and tracts circulated during 183P A s 2,235,614 ; of this number there were 187,715 Bibles and .<'^vy Testaments, and 192,444 prayer books. During the past year the Society issued 145,205 Bibles, 22,975 New Testaments, 324,426 common prayers, etc., 8,588,902 other books, and 3,455,583 tracts, etc., making a total of 12,537,091, " How," proceeds the report, "does the old report compare with the record of this year ? " The growth in the work has been enormous. Bishops from all parts of the world ask the Society for assistance. The popu- lation under the Queen's rule has increased and multiplied. The colonial and missionary episcopate numbers more than 90. '^Phe care we give to emigrants is the best means for safeguarding the highest interest of the empire. The grants made for church build- ing abroad, the efforts to train up a native ministry, the work of medical missions, show how widespread and diversified are our schemes for piomoting Christian knowledge. The new books published are far different, both in matter and appearance, from the literature provided in time past. But with all this change in style of vesture, we have not moved away from fundamental truth, or ' the ^aith once delivered.' The marvellous increase of reading power has caused us to give away literature in a far larger measure than sixty years ago, and the list of book grants covers all classes of the community." It is impossible to mention now what the Society has done for the Church in the distant dependencies of the Empire, in establishing schools and colleges all over the world, endowing bishoprics, building churches and founding scholarships, In the last sixty years it has spent over j£95,000 in helping to raise the iS.u n I , 'I 1 I. 146 number of colonial and missionary bishoprics from seven to ninety-one. At the annual meeting of the Society, held in May, 1895, the President (the late Archbishop Benson), after the reading of the Secretary's report, said : "What a range of work we have been listening to, and what solid, deep-set, practical work I . . . . This Society was founded by our saints — yes, our real saints — at the very end of the seventeenth century, befeifp there began what I may call the persecution — the real persecution. A long list of names, every one of which is an honorable name, marks the first meeting of the Society, with solemn pledges one to another. Among them were such men as Bray, Robert Nelson, Bishop Wilson and Bishop Gibson. These solid, and certainly learned men, of the end of the seventeenth century met together and solemnly affirmed the very thing that is ringing in our ears all day — that vice anrl immorality are due to gross ignorance of the Christian religion. That is why we exist, because we do really believe that tlic knowledge of Christianity is the great dispelling blast before which vice and immorality must fly. Those men bound them selves by their signatures to promote Christian knowledge by all good and lawful means." His Grace closed this eloquent address with the words : *' Let us just think of this — that if the Church had not had such a daughter as the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge for these 200 years past, we do not know whether that period might not hftve been the death of her. At all events, if she had not had such a daughter at her side, the Church of England would have been a very stay-at-home and very delicate old lady." And the highest testimony which the Archbishop paid to the Society's work, may be, perhaps, summed up in these words : "Of all our societies in England this is the oldest and grandest and its work the very largest ever conceived." And the Primate of Canada said, quite recently, at one of the Society's meetings in London : " That it was at once a privilege and a duty, on behalf of his Ecclesiastical Province, his Diocese and himself, to express his very deep sense of what they owed to the Society for its invari- able and never-ceasing kindness to them. Its readiness and liberality in supplying their numerous wants had greatly helped the work of the Church in his Diocese, and had brought invalu- able blessings to many fellow-Churchmen." ^■■IWWS^P"*" 147 ?8, every But we need not go far for testimony of the generous help the Society has thus given to Church work generally, for the Diocese of Fredericton has received most liberal aid in the building of churches, and its publications have been of great assistance to the Church members of this Province. The brief synopsis made above of our Depository business for the past twenty-four years speaks for itself in this matter, and, roughly speaking, nearly |20,000 worth of S. P. C. K. publica- tions have been circulated throughout the Diocese, V»esides the many grants of books the Society has directly made to parishes and missions on the recommendation of the Bishop. Our own Diocesan (who was then Coadjutor-Bishop), writing to the Standing Committee of *,he Society in 1883 of his early impressions of the value of the venerable Society's work in New Brunswick, said : " I did not realize until I came out here the enormous benefit the S. P. C. K. has been to the Colonies. I don't quite know what the Church in the Colonies would have done without such assistance ; it is a wonderful blessing." The Committee commend these few facts to the thought- ful consideration of the Church people of this Diocese, and would venture to request his Lordship the Bishop to take such steps as may be deemed necessary for the due recognition of the many blessings which the Diocese has received at the hands of this venerable and most benevolent Society.

Report of the Committee on the Needs of the Diocese for tlie Yea;* 1807. To (hf Riyht Rfv, the, Lord /iishop oj Frederirton, and thf, Afemh'i'n of' the dmiertd Coimuittee, oJ the Diocesan Church Society : In accordance w ith a resolution passed at the last meeting of the Jioard of Home Missi«ms, the Conmiittec on the Needs of the Diocese was retjuested to present their report direct to the General Committee, instead of to the Board, as heretofore. The Committee this year consisted of the following members : The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop, Chairman, Ven. Archdeacon Brigstocke, Ven. Archdeacon Neales, Revs. O. S. Newnham, R. P. Mclvim, H. Montgomery, and Messrs. G. A. Schoficld, W. S. Fisher, J. Roy Campbell and H. C. Tilley. At the fourth meeting of the Committee it was decided to pursue the work taken in hand last year by the Committee with reference to the appointment of a Diocesan missioner. The first step considered was the raising of a guarantee fund for a stipend, and a sub-Committee, consisting of the Ven. \rchdeacon Brig- stocke, Messrs. (1. A. Schofield and H. C. Tilley, was appointed to issue a circular letter to the Clergy of the Diocese asking for subscriptions towards this fund. It was thought necessary to do this in order chat the travelling expenses and the beginning of the work might be provided for. It was felt, however, by the Committee that once the work was begun the collections made during the missions would largely pay all the expenses, and the whole of the guarantee fund would not be called for. The Bishop gave his approval to the appeal, and, as it was thought by the Committee that, owing to the facilities provided by socie- ties in England for training men for this special work, a more suitable man could be found there, the Bishop said he would endeavour to find such a man, if the guarantee of at least fifteen hundred dollars for the stipend, was secured. Twenty-five replies were received in answer to the appeal, some taking exceptions to the plan pursued by the Committee, others approving. Pledges were received from ten parishes, and one from a private source, guaranteeing one thousand and thirty- four dollars. Owing, however, to the tardiness of most of the 153 replies, and the large number not answering at all, no definite arrangements could be made by the liishop while in England. His Lordship, however, in response to the recjuest of the Com- mittee, made enquiries through different agencies as to getting a suitable missioner for the work, and the expense Hkely to be in- curred. On the whole, the Bishop's efforts were not as encour- aging or successful as he had hoped for, liut he expects to hear this month from one of the secretaries of the Missioners' Society in England more definitely concerning the matter. The Committee are of the opinion that if, as is underst(Kxi from replies received last year, the great majorit}' of the clergy in the diocese feel that the appointment of a Diocesan Missioner is one of the first needs of the diocese, there ought not to bt' any insuperable difficulty in either getting the amount required for the stipend pledged, or in getting a suitable man for the work. And it is with a view that the General Committee should give the matter grave and most careful consideration that the Needs Committee have made this report direct to them. From the fact that by ten parishes, and one subscriber, over one thousand dollars have been guaranteed, there ought to be no difficulty in the re- maining fifty parisiies pledging the balance, viz., five hundred dollars, to make up the sum rejjuired. The Committee feel that for the sake of such a small sum as this the diocese ought no longer to be deprived of such services as would, judging from the experience in other dioceses, be a source of abundant blessings to the Church. The Committee would therefore recommend that some steps be taken by the General Committee at this meeting to devise means whereby the balance required by the Needs Committee may be secured, so that this much felt and much talked of need of the diocese may as soon as possible be supplied, and the im- portant work no longer delayed. A copy of the circular letter issued by the Committee, and a statement of pledges received, are herewith appended to this report. All of which is respectfully submitted. H. T. FREDERICTON, Chau^ian.

Tho (Joinniitt«e on the NeedH of the Diocene, having aNcert^uiied that thero \h a very {jjeneral o[)iiiion in the dioccHe that the a|i|>ointnient of a niiHMioner is inoHt deHirable, have decided to make an effort to nec'ure a jjnarantee for one year's Halary and ex|»enseH. If thJH can Vhj seeured it will be forwarded to the Binliop while in Kn^rland, in order that he may (;onfer with those who are in position to advise in tlie selec- tion of u suitable elerjfvinan for the work. There will of eouree be collections at the close of each nnssion, which will j^o towards exi)enses, but as there will be, at first, travellinjf expenses across the Atlantic, and stifMind for some tinie before a mission is held, it is ho|)ed that the guarantee will reach ^1,5 a u i< 30 500 00 6 ii «( « a 31 500 00 6 a (< (1 (« 493 500 00 6 Feb. 1, 1907 Fredericton Water " 151 500 00 5 Aug. 1, 1907 (< a a 152 500 00 5 u U it t( 153 500 00 5 (< « ' (( ti 154 500 00 5 i( <( « « 155 500 00 5 <( 4( (( « (( •( 1014 400 00 i( <( ({ (( 1015 400 00 6 it K (( (( 1016 400 00 6 u "Pr.Wni.St.Pav." 8 400 00 6l (( 160 SCHEDULE 1. — (CoNTisrED).
