V ♦ ^■»^I»<»I»W<»WI<<»1*»»>%»»^* • e The Central Board, in presenting its Annual Report to the fnembers of the Church Society, feels itself called upon to ** offer jinto God thanksgiving" for the brighter prospects which seem ito have opened up to the Church at large, (in this portion of the Lord's vineyard,) and to the Society in particular, during the paatyeax.- The division of the old Diocese of Quebec into the two existing Dioceses of Quebec and Montreal, is an event which must have been hailed by us all, as destined, under the Divine Blessing, to increase the stability and efficiency of the Church among us; nor can we have fiEuled to observe, with peculiar ^ttisfaction and heartfelt gratitude, the grace of God bestowed iipon the mother Church, — ^whereby, in the short space of four months, the sum necessary for the endowment of the new Bishopric was raised, — and the gratifying welcome which all parts of the Diocese hastened to tender to their newly-arrived Diocesan. Nor have subsequent circumstances at all tended to •disappoint the pleasing anticipations at that time formed. But your Board has mainly referred to this important event, from its ■bearing upon the Society, whose Anniversary we are this day assembled to commemorate. The Society, which meets now, is not the Society, which met for a similar purpose, a year ago. Early in October last, and soon alter the division of the Diocese, a Special Meeting of the old Society was held in Montreal, at which it was determined to petition the Legislature for a new Act of Incorporation, consti- tuting a separate Society in each of the new Dioceses, and a Committee was appointed to consider what steps were necessary to be taken, in order to effect the division thus contemplated. The Committee, at its first meeting, appointed two Sub-Com- mittees,, one in Quebec, and the other in Montreal, to draw up a statement of the Receipts and Expenditure, as if there had been two separate Societies from the first ; — these Sub-Committees being directed to divide equally between the two Dioceses all incidental expences, and all amounts collected from persons not resident in the old Diocese of Quebec. 4 >■ • ■ * C t -• :. ♦ * 4 •a> • 13 V ♦ • o ^ « Proceeding upon these principles, the Sub-Committee in Quebec carefully analyzed the published Reports and Treasurers' Accounts of past years, carrymg on their examination to the commencement of October last, and after a minute and diligent investigation, (subsequently verified by the Sub-Committee at Montreal,) it was found that the result obtained (and a gratifying result it appeared to the Committee) amounted very nearly to an equal division of the property of the Society. The Committee reported to a Special Meeting, held in Quebec, on 13th May last, and recommended, (with certain slight modifications,) a Bill which had been prepared by the Honorary Counsel of the Society.* Their report was adopted, and the Bill has been since placed in the hands of the Hon. W. Badg- ley, who has kindly engaged to take charge of it in the House of Assembly. It has alr^y been read a second time, and been Erinted by order of the House, nor is there any reason to appre- end opposition to it, in its progress through the several branches of the Legislature. It may be added, that the Bill contemplates no further changes than such as are absolutely necessary in the former Act of Incorporation. (Bieneral iStatetmnt of Il(att)t0, Cxpenbitttrr/^t.

A more than iiiiHeiont sum for this purpoie has been received this year- 15 • that of last year. The plan, adopted by the Societies at home, of taking up weekly, monthly and quarterly Subscriptions, by the aid of voluntary collectors, has been continued, and may, it appears to the Board, be still farther extended with marked benefit to the Society. At the same time, the Board avails itself of this public opportunity of returning thanks to those, who, at much sacrifice of time and patience, have labored in collecting (here a little and there a little) those trifling amounts, which, when added together, constitute no small portion of the Society's Income. The Collections, after Sermons for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, amounted to jS94 12 6 Do., for the general purposes of the Society.. . . 75 15 1 Annual Subscriptions and Donations 179 7 4 Life Subscriptions 25 £374 14 II* Being an increase of upwards of JS50 over the amount raised last year. Encouraging as this result is, the Board feels itself called upon to urge the friends of the Society, in Quebec, to renewed efiurts in its behalf, since, without the utmost exertions in this, the head-quarters of the Diocese, the Society must be soon ma- terially crippled in its means. It must be remembered that most other parts of the Diocese are but poor, and must for years have local wants pressing on them to an extent which ^1 prevent their contributing Ic^gely to the funds of the Society. 0t. irancts )Dt0trict !2ls0ocTatlon. This Association has not during the past year been idle. Besides meetings in most of the Missions, a general revision of the By-Laws was determined on at the Annual Meeting of the Association, in January last. The plan adopted in this revisioa appears to have been an excellent one,, and may be mentioned as a model from which other Associations may copy. A Com- mittee was first appointed to draft a new set of By-Laws. This Committee met several times, and, having performed the task assigned to it, sent round copies of the draft it had pre- prepared, to the several Clergy of the Association, with the request that they would make any suggestion upon it which might to them seem advisable. The Committee then again,. Il with these suggestions before them, re-examined the draft they had originally drawn up, and finally submitted the result of their labours to a Sitecial Meeting of the Assembly. The By- Laws thus passed will probably he printed as an Appendix to the forthcoming Report. It may appear to some members of the Society that much labour was thus unnecessarily thrown away. But yet the practical man well knows and will appreciate the difficulty of drawing up a Code of By-Laws, which shall organize an As- sociation in just such a manner as shall make it most efficient for the purposes contemplated, which shall meet the several emergencies that may arise, and which shall be clearly ex- pressed without being diffiise. Indeed, the By-Laws of the Parent Society, though drawn up and subsequently revised with the greatest care, do not work practically as well as might be wished, and are an instance of the necessity of gathering in advice from every possible quarter, when the subject to be legis- lated on is of a new and peculiar character. It is hoped that, with these new By-Laws, this Association will work with fresh vigour. It is, indeed, gratifying to be able to state, that in some of the Missions of the District, in which, of late years, but little had been done for the Society, the old spirit has already revived, and the friends of the Society have the satisfaction of seeing larger returns from the Sermons delivered on account of the Society, and a list of Annual Sub- scriptions, from places which before had shewn but a blank in the Society's reports. The Reports, from the several Missions, exhibit a total amount of JB137 3s. 5d., contributed to the funds of the Society, being an increase of £32, over that of last year : JB6 12s. 8d. of this amount is from the newly formed Mission of Dudswell and Ham ; and £9 10s. from the very poor Mission of Bury. A sum of JS474 is also mentioned, as raised, within the District for local Church purposes. Total ^66 11 3s. 5d. The Board has pleasure in drawing attention to the statement of the Secretary, that in most of the Missions of this District, Twhich he visited, officially, during the past winter,) he found the members of the Church, though in some cases but a small band, actively engaged in establishing perma- nently the Church among them, or in giving efficiency to her ministrations. In Eaton, for instance, a Parsonage has been lately secured, three-fourths of the cost of which has been defrayed by the inhabitants of the misaon, and the Church has been neatly restored at a still further expence. 17 * ill Melbuurne, iitepu have alsu been taken tur purchasing a Parsonage and Glebe fur the resident Missionary. At Compton, and Dudswell, subscription lists have been opened for the erection of new Churches, (in the former place of stone,) eligible sites for which have been already given. At Leunox- ville, a bell and organ have been purchased. At Sherbrooke, J6150 have been raised from the people for various Church purposes : and at Kingsey and Durham sums have been collected towards the repairs of one and compleiion of the other Church. illegantic district !^99anatton. The Secretary reports having been present at the Annual Meeting of this Association, held at Ppinte Levi, on the 8th January last, and having been much gratified by the lively interest manifested on the occasion. At this period, the ivlegantic District Association was without a code of By-Laws, and much inconvenience, as might have been expected, had been the result. Since then, hovirever, stepft have been taken to procure the passing of a code. The Board would earnestly call upon the Association to organize itself as speedily as possible, and adopt measures for regular meetings in the several missions on behalf of the Church Society. £83 13s. lOd. have been raised within this District, on account of the Society, (shewing an increase over last year,) — and JS155 8s. Id. for various local purposes. Total £239 Is. lid. The Mission of East Frampton is at present busily engaged in rebuilding in stone, and in a substantial style, the Church which was destroyed by fire in the spring of last year. It is expected that the building will be roofed in by the 1st Septem- ber next. — In the Rev. W. King's extensive mission, several works are in contemplation, towards which money and labour have been promised, and among them a new stone Church r» progressing towards completion, at Cumberland Mills, the site of which, together with 200 acres, and £100 in money, were a gift from the late E. Harbottle, Esq. — In the Mission of New Ireland, £30 per annum has been engaged to be raised by the congregation of the second Inverness Church, should a resident Clerj»vtpan be established among them. — It is gratifying to be able to add that a remittance has been received this,year,for the first time, from the residents at Grosse Isle, amount £7, in addition to the sum above reported.

A new Mission has been opened 'within the limits of this Association, during the past year, and, as the people were required to guarantee dC25 a year to the Missionary, it has not been found practicable to make the usual demand upon them as subscribers to the Society. Yet from the three Missions that constitute this Association, jB31 2s. lid. have been collected, being an increase over the amount of last year. Parochial Meetings-were held, during the past winter, at Valcartier and Stoneliam, at which several of the neighbouring clergy and the Secretary attended. These meetings have been attended with this satisfactory result, that the snl^ription list fVom this Mission has been nearly doubled : £6 16s. having been raised at Valcartier, and £2 7s. 6d. at Stoneham. The tohole of which amounts have been forwarded to the Parent Society. One hundred acres have bt 3n deeded to the Church, at Port- neuf, during the past year, by the Hon. E. Hale. (l^aspe lDt0trut ^90octatton. The returns from this District are only on account of sermons, and amount to jB 14 19s. 6d. An additional Mission has been added to this Association also during the past year, by the subdivision of the Missions, previously existing. In two of the Missions, thus newly con- stituted, steps have been taken for the erection of Parsonage Houses, and in one of the older Missions (that of Cape Cove,) the people have exerted themselves to rebuild the residence of their Clergyman, which was destroyed by fire last Autumn. It is hoped, that before the Society meets again to receive the Report of the Central Board, Parochial Associations will be in active operation in the several Missions of this District. 0^ttv8 of ti)e Soatt^. It is again the melancholy duty of the Board to record the decease of a tried and valued servant of the Society, W. Ben- nett, Esq., the late Treasurer. After this gentleman had held the office about nine months, it seemed good to the All-wise One, who ordereth all things aright, to remove him from his sphere of duty here below. The death of such a man cannot be otherwise regarded than as a public loss. R. Symes, Esq., has been appointed Treasurer in his stead 19 s a • m • • • B • i# «» ■ • • • ■ • m i « %■ $ and during the iiast year the Hev. W. VV ickes huii discharged the duties of .Secretary and Travelling Agent of the li^ociety. (Hiamlltiig IHtsstouanis. The Rev. J. Carry, having passed the summer at the Quaran- tine Station, Grosse Isle, laboured during the winter and till the middle of May last in the destitute settlements of the Eastern Townships. The spiritual destitution and ignorance of the in- habitants of these parts, is referred to in the journals sent in from time to time to the Central Board of the Society by this gentleman in strong and moving terms. At the same time, the a^iathy exhibited by the people in general, tends much to damp the exertions of a laborer in a field that might seem to promise an abundant harvest. Assuredly, if faith and love are needed in any duty it is in such a task as this: and for such men the prayers of their Brethren in the Lord are specially required. The Secretary has been appointed to the duties generally discharged during the summer by the Travelling Missionary, viz.: those of- Chaplain to the Quarantine Station, at Grosse Isle. In conclusion, the Board would express a hope, that with the New Act of Incorporation, new life may be infused into the working of the Society. The experience of eight years should surely not have been thrown away upon us. And now a" favor- able opportunity occurs for an examination into the deficiencies and imperfections which may have marked the system hitherto pursuea. Certainly, the Society is not as generally known, is not as cordially supported as it deserves to be. It becomes us then to enquire why this is the case, and to see if measures can- not be taken to excite a more general interest in its proceedings, and thereby vastly to increase its im]K)rtance and efficiency. It does appear to the Board that ever^ member of our Church should have it distinctly laid before him, that it is his duty to support a Society, which embraces, within its com- Erehensive range, almost every department of exertion that can e contemplated by a religious association. And be it remem- 'bered, that this is the only Society, of the kind, working within this Diocese. Indeed, as Christ loved His Church and gave himself for it, so should every Member of the Church, within this Diocese, love and lend a helping hand to a Society, which, as far as its objects are concerned, is identified with the true interests and permanent establishment of the Church among us ; and, which, whilst it enables others to fulfil the Apostolic precept, ** To do good, and to communicate forget not," would wish ever, in nil its operations, to keep before its eyes its own motto, pro GCCLEsiA DEI, " For thp Church of God." zo IDr. 3 2 11 * «• li 4 » » IN ACCOUNT WITH 4 1 IN ACCOUNT WITH €l)e dTreasnrcr. 1850-1. 1850.
