 need not, I think, create any alarm, because it is only the operation 
 of certain laws which the Diocese, as a whole, has not sufficiently 
 wei^gd. Still, I must admit that the fact of there beiiig such a 
 deficii imperatively calls for our prompt and vigorous action. 
 
 Iir&fpl^ination of this over draft, I desire to draw your careful 
 consideration to two important factors in the case :-- 
 
 First. The operation of>Canon XXIX. on the exiienditUrc of 
 the Clergy Maintenance and Mission Fund. 
 
 * Secondly. I'he result of an analysis of our parochial returns. 
 
 First. Cation X.VIX. If ever there was a Canon wiiich 
 deserved the well wishes and hearty support of the clergy, of this 
 Diocese, it is this, providing, as it does, for .the augmentation Of alj 
 their stipends according^6 a. regular and graduated scale. Kvery 
 tive years each clergyman in active service receives an increase of 
 $100 up to $1,000, at which point it becomes stationary. 1 am nut 
 aware that at^j' diocese in the em])ire possesses a Canon of equal 
 advantage to its <;iergy. For such a provision then the clergy .it 
 least .should be grateful, inasmuch as it demonstrates the practical 
 sympathy of the Diocese at large \yith them in their work, and also 
 the admission of the great principle that .the w(jrkman is^wortliy o( 
 his hire. While 1 am sure you will all accpiiesce in the altove, per- 
 mit me to draw your attention to the extrefne costliness of the 
 Canon, l-^very year so many of our clefgV are attaining, their 
 necessary seniorities and drawing sii much more iherefoie from tiie 
 funds. I ,ast year, owing to this and other reast)ns, the amount jxrid 
 to the clergy was $1,65,6.84 in excess of the previous year. 'I'he 
 mcrease Hiis current year will no doubt be i»roi)ortionately great. 
 and, therefore, it is transcendeiitly clear that unless there is ati 
 improvement all along the line, and the increase of the receipts 
 correspond fully to the rising outlay, there must in the innnediate 
 future be a severe financial crisis, when this Canon, now so full of 
 comfort and substantial aid to the clergy, will be found impracticable 
 owing to the fact that its continued operation is beyond the capacity 
 of the Fund. • • 
 
 Secondly :— An analysis of our parochial returns e.xhibits the 
 n.iost extraordinary carelessness on the part of many from whoirj 
 one might fairly, expect otherwise'.* Thirty-si-x places send in n») 
 Parochial Association subscriptions whatever, and in various stations 
 neglect and apparent indifference are only too painfully manifesi.

 Ill some mst;inces vvhcrc returns are tirade tlu- olTcriiig is so small 
 tluit one can hardly imagine tluil eiilier tlic clergyman or his people 
 exhausted ihemst'lvcs in the effort. Certainly if a subscription is 
 small' through the poverty Of the people, all will as iriily honor it 
 as if it was ten limes the amount from the rich, but if itj)e the 
 result of negle<:t on the part of clergyman even to notify bis people, 
 one cannot but deplore that such a stale of things should exist. 
 
 I think it only fair to state, m this connection, thai while many 
 t^l^ur clergy omit the collectioniy from the wrong impression that 
 tiw- peoi)le are being too frequently solicited, yet there' is another 
 view of this subject which they would do well to take, and that is thc; 
 
 -follo^VJng: That: irresi»ective Of the loyalty which every clergyman 
 is U)und to show toward his own Diocese, and which loyalty should 
 ever lead him to say that *• Where his Synod Vommands. his duty is 
 to obey,'' irrespective, I say, wholly of this consideration, there is 
 this thought, that there must be in every congregation s(mie to whom 
 it is a real ])leasure to give, be the'amovmt*iever .so little which they 
 have to best\)w toward the ()ffeftcn;y ivpivoinlbd by the Synod. They 
 are therefore debarred, andt I think.'«kvroiigly debarred, by the non 
 action Of their clergyman by giving .toward , iin object Avhich has 
 enlisted their sympathy and sui)port> In concluding this subject, I 
 may say that, if a clergyman annojiincc-H-a qollection and there is no 
 response whatever, he at least has clone his duty, it is tlie jieople who, 
 are indifferent to the cause, but if lie himself ab.solutely fails to give 
 out any notice whatert r. then, 1 think, not only the Synod, but the 
 
 Npeople themselves, have a just cause of complaint. 
 
 INDIAN .MISSIONS IN THK lUOCK^l. l)K IIUKttN. 
 
 1 am an.xious to bring before yoii a statement concerning the 
 Indian de])artment of the missionary worV of this- Diocese, but 
 desire, first of all, to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Rev. Mr. 
 Ashton. the able manager of the Mohawk Institute, for a very valu- 
 able paper of Indian statistics which he has kindly sent me. Kroni 
 tliis paper we learn tliat the total Indian population of the Diocese 
 of Huron is 7,441. This really large number of Indians, which, as 
 will presently ai)pear, is in excess of those in the Diocese of Algoma, 
 is divided as to faith in the following proportions : — 
 
 Total number in Huron, 7.441 : Protestants, 5,870 : Roman 
 
 Catholics, 503 : Pagan or unknown. 1.268. Total number in 
 
 Algoma. 7,250: Protestants. 1,054: Roman Catholics, 6,043; 
 Pagan or imknown, 1 58.

 .Such is the jilan |»ro|)osL'd for'llie <onsoiidation of the Church, 
 but whether it is huch as will conunend itself to the judgment of 
 our members generally, is\u least an open cpiestion. Jiefore asking 
 you to take action in this niatter I would submit the following : — 
 
 First. It is a self evident proposition that we cannot create a 
 new governing lx)dy without dintfnisliing fan/o the powers that 
 already e.xist. .Ml the powers of tnc' new body liuist of necessity be 
 a subtraction from the old. '['he only (juestion, therefore, is. Are 
 we fully |)re|)ared for the oi)eration of this inevitable law? As at 
 present constituted, the Provincial Synod is |)ossessed of supreme 
 legislative luwers : the creation, thiirefore, of a superior Synod to be 
 vested with the same functroiis, however jealously guarded, can only 
 be the practical desiccation of the present provincial system, 
 which in a whik\will need ahnost to apologize^ for its existence, 
 and for its. possession, of powers, which, e.xcept in a negative 
 way, it will be impotent to exercise. I would not, however, 
 advocate the' abolition of the Provincial system. In the North- 
 west, so far removed from the centre of our (Ihurch life, it is, and 
 will ever continue to be. an absolute necessity, and even iri'bld 
 Canada, there will always.be various minor purposes tO which it can 
 be successfully applied. Of this, however, we may be assured, that 
 if this srheme of union be carried into effect, the Provincial "Synod 
 as at present constituted, must practically cease to e.xist. 
 
 Secondly. The imification of our Church is a grand and imposing 
 result which will need far more than human reason to establish on 
 any sound and enduring basis. Prayerfully should we seek the 
 guidance of the great Head of the Church, and .slawly should we 
 proceed before making so vast and uiomentous a change, i tannot 
 but think that a simpler and more efficient scheme might yet be 
 elaborated, which, while reserving the rights tor which many contend, 
 will be better suited for the Chuich at large.

 of the building, which absohitely retjuires enlargement. The start

 nev^ds to be strengthened. M<j8t earnestly, therefore, do 1 onv 
 mend this invaluable institution .to your hearty sympathy and 
 su|)port, and trust that the laity throii^hoitt the Diocese will now 
 extend to it their generous ;jnd much needed help, .Should this 
 appeal meet with anything like an adetpiate response, not only will 
 the College be made far more efficient and cajxible for work, but 
 we shall have reasonable grounds for hoping that ere long a teaching

 Kstablishment^will be added to ilie present jiossession of a Divinity

 superiors of the me.i who from the receipt of customs or the. waters 
 of Calilee followed the lowly jesus. 
 
 It is not human ,K)wer. All the .najesty and all the power of 
 iiMperial Rome, all the bilterne.ss and prejud.ce of the age were 
 arratiged against d.e primitive church, and yet-she grew : persecutions 
 
 seemed only to cradle her ; leagues and comb.nal.ons o.tly o g.ve 
 her .no.nentum and dynamic force until at last she *"»»<J ^ »^«" J" 
 Emperor among her calechiunens and procla.m her statutes to he
