The Minute of Synod appointing tlic ('» mnii.ssion was then read. A letter from Dr. Holtfen was also read, excusing his absence. The parties in the case were called to the bar. Miss Baird ai)])eared with lier brother, William Baird, who was ]>ermitted to apjiear .along with liis sister before the Commission. Mr. Andrew 1 oshach and his wife appeared. Also, the Session of Ramsay, represented 1)y Rev. William McKenzie, Moderator, Messi's. James Killough, James Yule, David Wylie, and John Graham, Elders. The Commission proceeded to consider the case, de novo. Miss Baird then entered her comjdaint, that a document had been laid before the Session of Ramsay, containing anonymous charges against her character : — She laid before the Commission a copy of her original com))laint, which on being compared with the copy engrossed ixpon the Ramsay Session Book, was found to contain an atlditional paragraph. Mr. McKenzie explained that he had not professed to enter a copy of tlie complaint, but simply the sul)stance thereof. Miss Baird proceeded to nari'vte at length the varied steps in the case as it appeared before the Session, stating lier several objecticms to the proceeding.s, and laid several docu- ments before the Conxmission. Mr. and Mrs. Toshach were also heard at . ngth. j\. ■■ "'cKenzie iind Mr. (Tiaham were also heard uu behalf of the Seooion ; after which, it being six o'clock, the Commission adjourned, to meet again at half-past seven. At half-past seven on the evening of the same day, and in the same place, the Commission met, as adjourned, and was consti- tuted by prayer. Miss Baird th«n entered a formal complaint in the following terms : I, Jane Baird, charge Andrew Toshach with malicious falsehood, inasmuch as he did, in the month of November, 1866, and in his owTi house, assert that it was on the reconHiiendation of a certaiu Mrs. Wyatt that two children named James and Mary Ann Rivet ■were sent to us from thfe Ladies' Benevolent Institution, Montreal, which statement is untrue, because the children were sent to lis in consequence of a certificate in our favour, furnished by the Rev. Thos. Wardrope of Ottawa. (Signed), JANE BAIRD. June 25, 1868. The following witnesses were then sworn, their evidence taken down and read over to them, and by them subscrib(*d. For the complainant — Mr. John Baird, Mary Ann Rivet, and Mr. William Baird. ',.'"» For the defence — Mrs. Jane Wyatt.

Miss Baird here stated that to complete her case it was neces- sary to have the evidence of the Rev. Messrs. Gourlay and Moore, who were not present. Mr McLaren inquired — "What do you wish them ti) prove ? " Miss Baird replied, — " To prove that Mrs. Wyatt said, that the children could have been obtained on Mr. Wardrope's certificate alone, and could not have been obtained on Mrs. Wyatt's recommendation alone." The Commission were unanimous in the opinion that the evi- dence on the points in question was suthcient to warrant them to proceed to judgment, and resolved to do so. The parties were removed from \] e Bar. After consultation the Commission unanimously adopted the following huding : — l.^t. 'that the matter of complaint originally was trivial in itself, and ought not to have been made the subject of Church dis- cipline. 2nd. That when once taken u]) by the Session, and entered on the Record, the charge sliould not have been dis])osed of in the absence of the com]>lainant, and without due citation of parties, as it a])pears was d(jne. ;3rd. That there have been irregularities in the proceedings of the Session, both when acting without and with the Assessors from the Presbytery, which have increased the dilHculties. 4th. That much matter wholly irrelevant lias been introduced by the parties interested, from time to time, by which feelings of an uiuharitable character have been engendered and inflamed. 5th. That though the evidence in the case is in some measure contradictory, those contradictions affect only minor points, and do not at all bear against the veracity of ^Ir. Toshach. Cth. That the charge of malicious talseliood made against Mr. Toshajh had not been substantiated by the evidence, inasmuch as it is manifest that he had lieen informed by Mrs. Wyatt that she had used her influence to liave the children sent to Miss Baird's care, and tl at it does not appear that, at the timi' Avhen he made the statement complained of, he was aware that Mr. Wardrope had given a certificate to Mr. Baird ; and further, there is no evidence that Mr. Toshach ever denied that Mr. Wardrope's certificate was the principal ground of the children having been sent, but only affirmed that Mrs. Wyatt's influence had been exerted in obtaining the children, which statement is bonie out by the evidence. 7th. That, nevertheless, in view of the variations in statement whicli Miss Baird met with, and the reticence of parties, thei-e ap- pears to he such colour for the charge as goes far to justify Miss Baird in seeking an explanjition. In view of these facts the Commission, therefore, instructs the Session of Ramsay, in justice to Miss Baird, to cancel from the Record all reference to this case. At the same time, the Commission cannot refrain from ex- pressing its most untiualified condemnation of the manner in which charges of falsehood have been rashly uttered, and discrepancies in statement have Ijeen unduly magnified, to the great prejudice of Christian charity. ^ 28 MTNUTES OF THE SYNOD OF THE [June, mi I i In conclusion, the Committee enjoins on all parties the duty of forj^iveness towards each other, even as they hope to he forgiven, and as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us.

Tlu^ Report was received, , . STATE OP RELIGION. Keiicion— . "^'^^^ husineps on the inatters referred to the Committee forego Ucport i"g heing ilnislied, the Synod agreed still further to continue in session, to hear a Rei)ort from the Committee appointed hist night, to Avhom Avas remitted the Report of the Standing Committee on the state of Religion. The Report was given in and read hy Professor Young, ein- hodying the following Minute : — The Synod, having received the report of the Committee on the state of religion, and had conference on the subject, have learned that, in not a few of the congregations of our Church, in different parts of tlie country, an iniusual religious interest has been awakened ; deep concern has been manifested on the iiart of multitudes regarding the salvation of their souls ; many sinners appear to have been brought to Christ, and the people of God have been "reatly quickened For this work the Synod desire to lecord their deep gratitiule to fim, who is the source of all blessing ; and they trust and pray that, not on one or two portions of our Church merely, but on every part of it, gracious showers may descend. But the Synod would take notice of the fact, that, through lack of time, the important subject of the state of religion has received only an imperfect consideration ; in consequence of which it is not in\^)0ssible that impressions of an erroneous kind, which may lead to injurious pmctical results, may be left on the nands of some members of the Chun ■ .. In particular, it is m.atter of regret that it has been impossible for the Synod, while in conference, to hear statements from Ministers in whose congregations no special and extraordinary religious awakening has recently taken place. The report of the Committee on the State of Religion shov.s that, from day to day, a large measure of spiritual good is, through the Divine blessing, resulting in the congregations of our Church generally, fi'om the use of the ordinary means of grace, e\'eu where no remarkable awakening of a kind htted to arrest public attention ' " - - - ijlessinys has occurred. The river may carry large and abiuidant without overflowing its banks, or moving otherwise than calmly and silently ; and, in the opinion of this Synod, it would be a lamentable thing if the idea shoxdd be entertained by any of ilui members of the Church, that those Ministers in whose congrega- tions there was no revival, in the popular sense of the expression, liave either been wanting in zeal or faithfulness, or have had no fruit of their labours. It is also nuxtter of some regret to the Synod that, through lack of time, it could not hear so fully as might have been desired, from those Ministers and Ehlers in whose congregations special religious awakenings have taken place, to what extent the development of devotional feeling was accom- panied with improvenu'ut in the details of Christian morality — with love, joy, peace, longsufl'ering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. What the Synod has learned regarding sttch fruit of the Spirit is very delightful, but it would have been 18G9.] CANADA PRESBYTRUIAN CHURCH. 67' glad to have olttaiued fuller iiil'onnntion , and, in order that no mistake may in any (quarter be made in regard to so essential a matter, and that men may not deceive their own souls, it would desire most urgently and attectionately to impress npou all the memheis of the Church, that all signs of a work of grace are worth- less, where the conduct is not reformetl. " He hath showed thee, O man, what is good ; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justlv, and to love mercv, and to walk humblv with thy Godr Among the lessons to be derived fronx the facts whicli liave been brought imder its notice, the Synod would call attention particularly to the following : — 1. In the first place, it seems to have been maile evident that, in the instrumentality which the Church is habitually using for gathering sinners into the kingdom of Christ, and advancing the spiritual life of believer:'., too little use is made of tlie gifts and graces of ordinary Church members. The members of the Church should be made to feel, that every one who has tasted tliat the Lord is gracious, is called upon to labour directly for the advance- ment of the Redeemer's kingdom. Such laljours should, of course, be conducted in a manner not inconsistent with order, and with the general harmony of the Church. "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the Churches of the saints." But a great point would be gained if all, old and young, Avho them- selves know, the Lord, did realize, more than is ordinarily done, the solemn obligation incumbent on them, not to be content with having given themselves to Christ, but to do, wisely and kindly, what in them lies, that all whom tliey can possibly iniluence may have fellowship with them in the privileges and hopes of the Gos])el. 2. In the next place, the Synod, having learned that, Avhere special religious interest has been awakened, very direct dealing with individuals in regard to the salvation of their souls has been generally priictised, and apparently with good results, would re- commend Ministers and other Church members to consider the great importance of ascertaining, as far as possible, to what extent divine truth is imderstood, and its power felt. The Synod does )■ Jt donbt that every Christian, who wishes to labour for Christ, and who seriously considers the best method to be jjursued, will feel of what imsi)eakable consequence it is, that he should endea- vour to send forth the tiuth with direct personal aim, — should run, not, as uncertainly, — should fight, not as one that beats the air. 3. In the third place, the Synod, with reference to the fact brought out in conference, that not a few of the cliild"e:i of the Church have in very early life been brought under serious religious im])ressions, would urge u])on parents the importance of cultivating family religion, and labouring with earnestness and atfection for the souls of their children, as they that must give account. In this connection, the Synod regards it is a significant fact that, as was brought out by several of the speakers in the con- ference, the persons who were the subjects of the religious aAvaken- ings that have taken place in different ])arts of the Province were, extent, persons who had in early life been carefully to a large 68 MINUTES OF THE SYNOD OF THK [June, instruct( J in the system of Divine truth. This cannot hut he felt to he a great encouragement to parents and Sahhath School teachers and others, not to neglect the regular and systematic in- structio.i of the children within the sphere of their influence in the grand hut simple truths of tlie Gospel — truths so grand as to transcend the grasp of the loftiest human minds, and yet simple enough to form the foundation of the hope and joy of a little child. The Synod agreed tc receive the Report, and ordered it to be printed in the Record. Tlie Synod adjourned, the Moderator pronouncing the Bene- diction. Minut;s read. TWENTY-SECOND SEDERUNT.

EEPOET OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATISTICS. ,.<. ,.^ TO THK HYNOl) OF THK CANADA PRESBYTEUIAN CHUBCU. ■.'••.-" Your Commlttoe, in again presenting their report on the Finances and Statis- tics of the Church, bog leave to note the following particul'trs :— STATISTICS. The fact is still to be noted, that not a few congregations have sent in no returns, and consequently the Statistical and Financial Statements are not as full as otherwise the report would have been. There are on the roll of Synod, in all 295 ministers, and of these, eleven have no pastoral charge, thus leaving 284 who have the charge of congrega- tions. Of the whole number of congregations on the roll of the Synod thirty did not send in their returns in sufficient time to present their statistics in the report of the Committee. It is true some of these returns have been sent to the Convener of your Committee subsequent to those seat in by the clerks of Pres- byteries. These will appear in a supplementary list, with the minutes of Synod. It is satisfactory to note that the Church still continues to make progress, which is, in some respects, of a gratifying nature. Notwithstanding the losses by death and demission, there is an actual increase of seventeen ministers on the roll of Synod. The number of families on the list of certified returns is 25,448, and if we reckon each of the congregations which have not reported at an average of seventy, this would give us a total of 27,548, thus showing an absolute increase in the number of families of 2,714, Calculating in the same \va,y that each of the non-reporting congrega- tions has on its roll of communicants at least one hundred members, we would get a total of 45,896 members in the full communion of the Church, showing an increase in the membership of the Church of 3,787. It is not unreasonable to suppose that each family represents at least an average of five pei-Huns, who are, either as members or adherents, connected with the Canada Presbyterian Church. Supposing this to be the case, we get as the total number of those coming under the direct influence of the Church the large number of 138,440 persons. One of the most pleasing features which your Committee have to notice is the fact that 27,616 children are is attendance upon the Sabbath Schools of the Church ; showing in this respect, an increase over last year of 2,786 ; while there are in our Bible classes 8,191, being an increase over last year of 620. It U impossible to estimate the amount of good which is being effected in thus bring- ing 35,807 children and young persons under the powerful influence of Sabbath School and Bible class teaching. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Passing aside from the Statistics we now glance briefly at the Financial state of the Church. It is to be noted in this connection, also, that the large number of non-reporting congregations necessarily makes the return imperfect, and therefor'^, presents a more favourable aspect of the state of the Church than actually exists. Stipend : — There has been paid for stipend alone during the year by the con- gregations reporting, the sum of $161,714, giving an average Stipend of $641 per annum to each minister reporting ; including the amount of Supplement, the average would be $673 per annum. As one feature in connection with_ the matter o*^ Stipend, it is worth observing that the amount of Stipend promised from all sources is $161,447, and this includes a Supplement of $6,889 50, while the amount paid by congregations alone exceeds the total amount promised from all sources by $267 ; thus showing that the diflFerent congregations of the Church have, during the year, paid $7,156 more than was promised. Reckon- xlii. APPENDIX. ing the thirty non-reporting congregations as contributing for Stipend an average of $450, we would get a total of $1^2,103 contributed by the Church for Stipend alono. There is, however, an aspect of this matter which cannot be suppressed. Last year the amount of arrears reported was $5,097 11, while this year the amount runs up to 5>6,737 82. shoioimj an increase in the amount of arrears of $1,640 71. This certainly demands the serious attention of the Church. Church and Manse Building : — A new column was inserted for Church and Manse building, which has brought out some interesting information, it has been reported that thirty Churches and sixteen Manses have been built during the year, or are now in progress. Two buildings are reported of which there is no infoimation given regarding the classes to which they belong. This has been at a cost of $115,G()3, which has been actually expended upon building or repairing ChuruLes and Manses during the year ending on March Slst. Surely this is to be taken as an undoubted indication of prosperity, for which we have every reason to be thankful. Summing up the amount paid by the congregations for strictly congregational purposes, we get the very largo sum of $333,067, showing an increase over last year of $51,426 40. This speaks for itself. Schemes of the Church :— We fear that we must here pause in our congra- tulations, since the contributions for the schemes of the Church have not increased in the same proportion as the contributions for strictly congregational purposes. Some of the schemes, such as the Home and Foreign M'^aion, and Widows and Orphans' Fund, show only a slight increase over laJ:' year, while in the contribution for college purposes there is a very decided decrease. Last year the amount reported was $13,096, while this year the sum is only $9,714 68, showing a very serious diminution in the amount of contributions. The amount, of course, includes the sum contributed for both colleges, and the large increase of last year may be owing to the fact, that some of the Presby- teries associated for the purpose of supporting the Montreal College may have included in their reports sums contributed for the endowment of the College. It is with pain that your Committee notice that some congregations con- tribute almost nothing for the support of the schemes of the Church, and that others who do, seem to do so on the principle of taking $10 or $12, and divid- ing the same among the various schemes of the Church, so that the line opposite the name of the congregation may not be entirely vacant. Summing up the total amount contributed by the Church for all purposes, we may put it down in round numbers, making allowance for the amount con- tributed by the thirty non-reporting congregations, at $400,000.00. The following table shows the average rate of contributions per member in the various Presbyteries, fiist for all purposes, and second for Stipend. Montreal 9.96., 4.02 Ottawa 11.55 3.y 2 Brockville 6.68 3.36 Kingston 10.46 5.17 Cobourg 6.93 3,05 Ontavio 9.67 4.68 Toronto 11.19 4.12 Hamilton 9.77 3.77 Guelph 6.74 3 0J London 14.23 4.83 Stratford 8.19 3.77 Huron 6.07 3.10 Grey 6.34 3.15 Simcoe 7,31 3.54 Your Committee, in concluding thair report, think that while there are some things which ought to be remedied, there ia still every reason to thank God and take courage ; and they would, therefore, beg to submit the following APPENDIX. xliii. RECOMMKN'DATIONH. 1. To recommend Presbyteries to take order, that congregations Bend li> their reports in good season, so that the report of the Committee may be pre- pared in time for the Synod. 2. That Presbyteries be enjoined to take such action as may be Instrumental in leading congregations to the e.xercise of greater liberality, and especially to D3AL with those congreg ttions who contribute nothing, or very little, for the various: schemes of the Church. 3. Your Committee would most earnestly urge upon the Synod the neces- sity of impressing on Presbyteries the duty of dealing with those congregations who are falling into arrears. All which is respectfully submitted. D. WATERS, Convener, m i EEPOET OF THE HOME MISSION OOMMITTEE. The Report which is now subniitted to the Synod is more complete than any former Report. There are pleasing features iu the work entr\isteu to the Com- mittee; but, as will be too clearly seen, there are also some things of a discourag- ing character. Tlie usual half-yearly meetings were held, and the quarterly distribution of Probationers among the vacancies was made. Everything now works agreeably, as the members of the Committee become familiar with the mode in which the business is transacted, and all parties interested arc obtainining a better under- standing of the Committee's operations. But we shall allow the Report to speak for itself. I. Stations and Conoreoations. The table in Appendix I. exhibits every Mission Station in the Church, as reported to the Committee; and the table in Appendix II. every congregation receiving supplement from the Central Fund. Most of the Presbyteries sent the Reports in due form in April or May. One came to hand too late for insertion ; in this case and in those where no report for the year was made, the statistics of October last arc given, and the amounts paid are calculated from the half-yearly reports. Though from this cause there may be a few inaccuracies, yet these cannot affect the general results to any perceptible extent. Some of the stations and congregations whose names appear in the lists have been removed, but they fall to be reported as having been under the cog- nizance of the Committee during the year. Presbyteries are earnestly requested to make a careful revvnon of these lists at their first regular meeting after the Synod, so that iu October next the new lists may contain connect information on which the operations of the Committee for next year may be based. The follow- ing are the summaries of the lists. From the aummaries in tlie Appendix we learn that, connected with the Committee's operations, there ore 77 mission fields, with 170 preaching stations and 64 sujiplemented congi-egations. These represent 6,222 families, 7,177 commu- nicants, and an average attendance of 19,61^ — almost 20,000. These mission- stations contributed for the GU])port of gospel ordinances among themselves $27,828, and received in aid $11,752. That is, the amount raised locally is twice and one-third times as great as the aid received. As compared witli last year, we find the number of mission fields is the same, but we have an increase of 20 stations and 8 congregations, with 1,713 families, 1,022 adult members, and 4,f>22 of average attendance. One feature in this in- crease is not entirely satisfactory, viz. : the inWease in supplemented congrega- tions is proportionally larger than that in mission stations. To make this plain. xliv.

APPK.'DIX. From thin t.\\i\*'. it iipjieiiis that, wliilo tlie income lins only iiioroascil liy $3S4 02 (iiicluilin^ Uw 9730 Trom Irtrhind) the iiicruiuic on Con^c^ution;il cuu- tributions beinj^ altoccitlicr just $27 (51 ; the expenditure liaH iiUMciiHtMl liy $089 Cy ; and hcncc^ tne IcHM-ning of tlic halanco on hand. Of the fifteen Pres- liyterieH, six have ailvaneed in their eontrihutioim ; Ottawa, Hro( kvilh', CJohourg and Paris, in a small de^aee ; Hamilton mid Toronto, or Himcoe, to a very satis- factory extent. On the other hand, of the otiier nine Presbyteries — Montreal, Kingston, (Juelph, Stratford and (irey, have come short of last year by sums varyinff from !$;J 70 to $(55. Ft is to be regretted that Ontario has gone back more tlian one-fourth on last year's eontril)ution ; London nearly a seventh ; Huron more than a third. The falling oil' in (Irey is between a tliird and a fourth. It appears to the (Committee only jtroper that the cause of this fulling off should be ascertained and removed. As will be si^en from the table, some of these Presbyteries draw heavi'y on the fund, and it is discouraging to congrega- tions which arc exerting themselves to find a falling olf in the very sections of the Church wh(;re most mission work has to be performed. The three Presbyteries of Kingston, Guelph and (>rey, have .shown a decrease for two years in succession ; and that while in other respects they ai>))ear to be prospering. Tins attention of the Hynod is directed to the fact, that in 1807 the Presbytery of tJuelph contributed $730 96 ; whihi in 1869 the amount has been reduced to .$t)83 93, or a])out six-sevenths of th(! former sum ; that is, there has been a falling olf at the rate of 124 l"^r cent. In like manner in 1807, the Presby- tery of Grey contributed $219 05, and in 1869 only $144 42, being a falling olf at the rate of about 39 per cent. ; and Kingston iti 1807 contributed $790 30, as against $707 71 in 1869, showing a falling olf at the rate of 104 pci" cent. Jr. view of the steady advance and inospeiity of our people, we might have expecteii an increase in the average rate of contributions. In this wo are disap- pointed. The averaf/c rate shows a decrease. Last year it was 23 cents througli- out the whole Church ; this year it is only 20 cents. In other words, while the Church is advancing in numbers, it is not making any advance in its contribu- tions for this fund. The average rate of contributions in some Presbyteries is most unworthy. For example, Grey gives 6 cents per member ; while Brock- ville, no better able to contrilnite, gives four times as much. Ouelidi, in one of the wealthiest sections of the country, gives only 13 cents ; while London gives 23, Brockville 24, Cobourg 27. The other two wealthy Presbyteries of Paris and Stratford give only 14 and 10 cents respectively ; while Hamilton and Toronto contribute at more than double the higher rate. The highest rate of contribution is still with the Presbytery of Kingston, though it is not up to the rate of last year. The Committee earnestly request the Synod to consider care- fully how this glaring inequality of contribution may be obviated. The reduction of the balance in hand at the end of the year is a serious mat- ter. Over $5,000 will be due on October 1st, and the Committee will not have more than $1,200 to meet it, nor will any money be available before the month of October. Without a balance on hand at the end of each year of at least $6,000, the fund cannot be successfully worked. To attain to such a balance has been the aim of the Committee, in which, however, they have manifestly failed. A few more items of interest suggested by the above table may be noticed. — The Presbytery paying the largest amount into the fund this year is Toronto, which gives $1,317, and leaves, after paying its own expenses, a surplus for the general benefit, of $097. Next comes Hamilton, paying $1,228, and leaving a surplus of $852.82. After that conies London with $1,052, but drawing from the fund $960 70 more than it pays in. Then Montreal, which pays $934, and draws $363 beyond its contributions. The Presbytery of Simcoe in this, its first year, gives promise of liberal things. The only extraordinary expencliture iluriiig the year is $100 towards the debt on the Buxton Mission, which was paid according to the instructions of the ^ogy| OUg? one d that , corigj reiio]] tJiroiif i'raiitj traryj to car begt^ the gij APPKNDtX. xlvii. we loo, leen ito, I the lion\ Iflrst [debt the Synod in 1 8fl7. Tho nnmc sum will linvc to be pnid fop two yonrs more before the amount ihar^'cd a;nn('r yenra. A full and Hfttisfaetory statement has birn submitted, and tlie Committee rejoice in the cflicicnt way in which that rresl)vtery liaH conducted its busincsH. The followinf( is the list of Settled Charj^es which have not contributed. In most rases va(;ancit's have also failed. The obtaining of contributiims shoulil be attended to by sessions, and every charge, when vacant, should have an oji- portunity of contributing as us\tal to the Lord's work. Vt-ry f nv Mission Stations seem to contribute in any of the Presbyteries : — MoNTliKAL — Lingwick, liichmond (two years), Glasgow, English River, Winslow (two years) 4 OrrAWA — Aylmer and Almonte 2 Ontauio— Prince Albert 1 GUEU'll — Berlin 1 Pauis — Woodstock (Erskine Church), Chalmers' Church 2 London — Windsor, St. Thonuis, Wallacetown, Thamcsford, Elmira, U.S S Stuatkouii — Listowell 1 Si.McoE— Oro (Kno.x Church), and Willis' Cliurch 2 18 (Of the above .several have contributed since the accounts were closed.) This shows a decrense of three as comi)arcd with last year. The Presbytery of Montreal has been dealinj' faithfully vvitii defaulters within its bounds. It would be well if other Presbyteries did likewise. The Committee have still to comi>lain of the mere pittance sent by some con gregations; being little better than mockery. In the majority of the congregations the amount ai)pears fair, but when analysed, is in reality very inadeiiuate. For example, a large town congiTgation sends 8179. That is a goodly sum, but there are in that congregation 650 communicants, hence tlie rate of giving is just about tlie average" for the whole church, 20 cents. Another, a city congregation, l)ays $25.83 ; but that congregation reports 465 communicants, and thus is con- tri'juting tlie miserable sum of almost 54 cents i)er member. A country congre- gation again sends almost $20, but has 2S0 comnmnicauts, and therefore is giv- ing only at the rale of 7 cents per member. There are many congregations doing as much as can reasonably be expected, and for their sakes as well aa for the cause generally, it is desirable that presbyteries should aim at a more equalized and general effort in all the congregations. Some of the aid-receiving congregations .send no contril)Ution or a mere apo- logy for one, to the Central Fund. This, in the opinion of the Committee, ought to be discountenanced, and they hail with satisfaction the resolution of one Presbytery, to the effect that in such cases the supplement is to be stopped. On a careful review of the state of the funds, the Committee are of opinion that unless some more liberal spirit be manifested in a large ])ropoi-tioii of our congregations, any increase in our missionary operations is impossible. In the report of last year it was said, "Unless there is an increa.se in contributions throughout the Church, the Committee must curtail its opemtionsHnd reduce the grants which have been made." No such incre;i8e has taken place ; on the con- trary, our balance in hand is smaller than last year. It is, therefore, necessary to carry out the proposed ciu'tailment. And with deep regret, the Committee beg to inform the Synod, that in October next it wiU be necessary to reduce all the grants to supplemented congiegations by 10 per cent, at least. Should in- I xlviii. APPENDIX. crease>'. contributions next winter enaltle tlie committee to pay the full amounts in April, it may be done, but at present that prospect is not promising. III. GHANT.S ix Aid. As has already been intimated, an increase botn in the number of grants and supplements has been made during the year. In many cases the Committee gladly granted the request of Presbyteries where sj)ecial circumstances seemed to warrant such increase, and to afforcl hope of permanent improvement by timely aid. In otlier cases tlie increase was granted with reluctance, and in some eases it was refused. The Comniitiee regret much thus to appear to act in opposition to Presbyteries. Sometimes, however, there has been no evidence that the Pres- bytery has taken the necessarj' care in making apjdication, and it is to be feared that the people have not been dealt with as to their duty. In other cases it is manifestly unjust to use thepubb'" noney for the support of small congregations, which, owing to some local feeling, cannot join witli the brethren of an adjoin- ing congi'egation, but insist upon a separate organization. And in other cases still, the supplement asked for would have raised the stipend above the average stipend of the church, so that the Committee do not feel justified in such a par- tial administration of the Fand. The attention of the Synod is respectfully called to these things. Sm'ely no congregation has a right to aid which is not doing its own part for its minister, and good evidence should be furnished with the application, that the Presbytery is satislied on this poini An effort should now bo made in many places, to etfe(!t a union of adjacent congregations into self-sustaining charges ; in too many places both men and means are being sinfully wasted for want of such co-operation, and the Committee as a general thing will discourage grants to congregations which can ITe worked in connection witli another. To the third point, however, attention is particularly called. Though it may appear to a Presbytery desirable to give a newly settled minister a large salary, say, S5600, and accordingly they may apply for supplement which will make up that amount, the Committee regard it as unjust to other congregations which contribute to this Fund to raise the stipend of this man to $600, Avhile the ministers of the contributing congregations are not receiving $500 ; anil in ordinary cases such applications will be refused. At the Scame time the Commit- tee acknowledge that there are instances in which special circumstances justify an apparent inequality in the stipends of ministers, and have acted accordingly. A regard to the interests of the Church as a irhofe prevents the Committee I'rom building up individual congregations or particular sections at the expense of other fields as important if not as importunate. Unless Presbyteries act with a like regard for the interests of the whole Church, as well as of their more im- mediate localities, it will be imiiossible to carry out our mission work successfully.. IV. MlSSIONAKIES. In Api)endix V. will be found a list of the Missionaries employed by the Church. It contains the names of twelve ministers, who render occasional or regular seiTice in the mission field ; two Licentiates ; ten Lay Catechists ; thirty- nine Students in Divinity, and twelve Student Catechists. Each of these Missionaries has lieen certified to the Committee by some Presbj-tcny. This shows an increase on la-st year of one Minister, two Licentiates, six Lay Catechists. seventeen Divinity Students ; while in Student Catechists there is a diminutio. of two. The supply of Missionaries in April last, when six Students from Princeton were added to those of our own C!ollege, was just about equal to the wants of the Presbyteries as reported. This is a pleasing feature of progress, although it is to be hoped that the still advancing number of stations may require an ever increasing number of labourers. Th(! number of Ministers who are employed for lengthened periods in Mission distriiits is slightly increasing, and the Committee suggest to Presbyteries the desirableness of thus securing the services of efficient men in new settlements ; while they are jm'paredto co-oper- S])l| the efl'e Mel witl dar] APPENDIX. xlix. is a lilts to ess, lire [arc land Ithe Ipev- ate with Presbyteries in making the stipend at least eiiual to the average of that in settled charges, ■" ""1 ' "■ '■■" v. Vacancies and Probatioxkus " * ' ■ '- i' • '. Appendix III. contains a list of the vacancieB in the Church during last year, showing the time when they were put on the list, and the date of settle- ment, &c. Some of these dates may be incorrect, as no official information was given in many instances, and the date htul to be ascertained as best it might. It would be much more satisfactory, if Presbyteiy Clerks would furnish infor- mation with regularity. Appendix IV. gives the list of Ministers and Licentiates on the List of Probationers during the year — showing when they came on the list, and where settled, &c. The results of these tables are highly gratifying. The only drawback to satisfaction is the fact that some Probationers still refuse to carry out the Synod's plan, and as a consequence find themselves disappointed, and occasion complaint on the part of Presbyteries. The Presbytery of Montreal lias sent the following formal remonstrance on the subject : "RESOLVKD—Tiiat the Presbytery direct the attention of the Sjiiod's Home Mission Coin' "niittee to the frequent failures of its Missionaries to fulfil their appointments within the "bounds, with the view of effectually preventing the recurrence of such faihu'es." The Committee a^k direction for such cases. The Presbytery of Montreal has not given the names, but the Committee would ask the Synod whether the regulation concerning the inefficiency of Probationers applies to such cases ? And if not, what course should be pursued in i-efcrcucc to such men as refuse to fulfil their .appointments ? Returning to the lists, we find that at the beginning of the year there were forty-seven vacancies on the list — tweiUy-six were added during the year. There have been 28 settlements, and there are now forty-Jive vacancies upon the list. Nine Ministers have been translated from one ciiarge to another, and twenty-oiie have been inducted without translation into vacant charges. Eleven vacancies have been caused by resignations, one by death, and one by disciplin- ary process ; that is, thirteen in all. Of these, twelve are new or revived con- gregations, and eight have obtained Ministers as distinct charges for the first time. Of the Probationers on the list in April, 1868, only three were not settled in May, 1869. And of those put on before April 1st, only 07ie who has regularly visited tlui vacancies, remains unsettled. Of ele en now on the list, five are in their first quarter. These facts si>eak for themselves, and aflbril irresistible evi- dence that speedy settlements have resulted from the present mode of dis- tribution. The attention of the Synod is again called to the remuneration of Probationers. The minivmm allowance is in many instances barely sulficient for the maintenance of the Probationer and his travelling expenses ; hence the families of Probationers must suffer. While the Committee cannot recommend any increase in the minimum allowance, they think that much may be done towards iiuaeasing the remuneration of Preachers on the whole, by Presbyteries requiring large and important vacancies to pay from eight dollars to twenty dollars, with board, to Probationei*s when supplying them ; so that while Proba- tioners cannot deinaiid more than the minimum from any Presbytery, they would nevertheless, as a whole, obtain something more than that amount. , , _ VI. Rkmauks. The Presbytery of Montreal still laboui*s, at great disadvantage, with its wide- spread, s])arsely-settled Presbyterian field. A proposal, however, will be before the Synod, which it is hoped and believed by tiiis Presbytery, will prove very eflective in the prosecution of Home Mission work in tlie Prf^vince of Quebec. Meanwhile, the Committee feel that every encourageiiient must be hehl out with the view of promoting settlements in that part of the Church. Of Ottawa Presbytery, it is said, "Our report this year has both a brightand dark side. In some places wehavegained, and in others we have lost ground. In APPENDIX, four of the stations there has been alarge increase in the average attendance." The report speaks liopefully of Ayhvin, Renfrew, Castleford, and Adniaston, and anticipates an early settlement in these places. Two stations are reported to have suffered from the proselytising efforts of the Plymouth Brethren, and the interruption of the lumber trade by the unusual dearth of snow during the winter, with the partial failure of crops last year, are referred to as affecting the jjrosperitj' of the stations on the Upper Ottawa. "On the whole, we have reason to be thankful and to take courage. The prospect before us for the present year is better than for some years past." In the Brockville Presbytery things are steadily improving. Three good settlement:) have taken place during the year, and several stations are looking up hopefully. It is exceedingly desirable to endeavour to resuscitate our Church in this region by promoting settlements, and it is to be regretted that probation- ers manifest such unwillingness to go to the eastern portion of our mission-field. In Kinqstun little has been done during tiie year, but the Presbytery is still •working quietly. An ordained missionary has been employed during the year in the northern mission district. In Cohourg the back mission-field is advancing, A missionary has gone in for a year. Two congi-egations have passed from the mission-list and become settled congregations, during the year, and new stations are being looked after. In Ontario very little has been done beyond the regular services of an ordained missionary. A large field here is little more than known, and scarcely visited. The separation of the Presbyteiy of Simcoe from that of Toronto has very much lessened the mission-field. Still a good work is being done in the city of Toronto. Yorkville has become a settled charge, and in the east end of the city missionary operations have, for the first time, been regularly sustained, and steps are being taken towards the erection of mission-premises. Two new stations have been added during the year. The Presbytery of Hamilton has made gratifying progress during the year. Two new stations and two new charges have been fomied, and three settlements have taken place. The prospect is good, and still further pi'ogress immediately may be expected. The only thing of sjiecial interest in the Presbytery of Guelph is the mission among the Germans. The Presbytery h"' not reported any particular action in the matter ; but Mr. Leutzinger has resigned his position as missionary. He has met with difficulties which he feels himself unable to overcome ; and in all probability this mission, which has liad a trial of three years, will be abandoned. Nothing has to be noted regarding the Presbyteries of Paris and Stratford. In the Presbytery of London progress has been made. A movement was made during the winter by way of exploring the destitute parts of the field, but the results have not been reported to the Committee, Of the Buxton Mission a full report has been sent by Rev W, King, although it had not been submitted to the Presbytery. From this report it appears that many who have been instinicted in the mission -school "are now usefully em- " ployed both in Canada and the United States. One, who was educated at "Knox College and licensed by the Presbytery of London, is now preaching in "Kansas and superintending a large Sabbath -school of Freed-men, Another *' writes from Missouri and states that he is teaching a large school of Freed-men, " and conducting a Sabbath-school. Another, a female, is teaching in Louisville, * ' Kentucky, and another was lately conducting a large school of Freed-men in " Washington City. A young man from Alabama found his way to Buxton, ' ' was educated thei'e, and since the war is now in his native place working a " plantation with Freed-men, lias a school for their benefit, and nas been elected ^•to the legislature." Tliese, the report says, are only a few names, showing the fruits of the mission, and giving earnest of a still more abundant harvest. The schools now supported by taxation are progressing, and the people who of be as it Kep(J worii Jan^ r be \i\ after! but t| Ha APPENDIX. Jl could not be induced by moral suasion to pay for tbe mission -school, willingly support tlie common schools. Mr. King applies the same principle to account for the lack of support of Gospel ordinances. " The moral principle is so low that ' ' it has little or no power to compel them to give to Christ, with a few honoura- " ble exceptions. Those who were acquainted with the coloured race in bondage ' ' have no difficulty in understanding why the moral principle is so low. Tlie *' old generation must pass away and a young generation bo educated, ou high " moral principles, before we can expect much from these people," The Sabbatli-school has eighty pupils on the roll, a superintendent and five teachers ; another Sabbath-school of about the same number is held in the northern part of the settlement. The communion -roll at present has seventy names on it. It began in 1852 with eight names. " Although," the report goes on to say, "we have had no special tokens of the visible outpourings of God's " Spirit, yet we have reason to thank God for a silent work of grace, of which " we have evidence in the prayer-meetings and Bible-class, These are both "attended. Since the month of Januaiy four prayer-meetings have been kept '' up in the settlement on different nights of the week. Tnere is evidently a growing desire " ; the Word and ordinances. The new church is expected to be finished in July. Tho cost will be $2,200, and it will accommodate about 300 persons. ' ' With God's blessing we look for "a permanent congregation establisned at Buxton, with the prospect of making " it self-supporting in two years after the church is erected." In the Presbytery of Huron a little exploring was done duiing the year with satisfactory results, the probability being that a new station may soon be formed in the locality visited. The Presbytery of Grey is not progi'essing as might be desired. There is little advance reported, and the spirit of liberality has not been evoked among the ]ieople. Tlie arrears of stipend referred to the Committee in 1867 by Synod, have not yet been satisfactorily reported, and are still unsettled. Nothing has been done during the year at the Bruce Mines. The Presbytery of Simc»e has begun its work with energy and care. The field is wide, new, and poor, and will re(|uire liberal assistance. It is to be re- gretted that the expensive mission in the Muskoka District has not been success- ful. It is, liowever, an important work, and will be steadily prosecuted. On a review of the whole field, the Committee, wj '."le impressed mth a sense of the importance of the work, feel afraid that many of our ministers and con- gregations do not give that thought and attention to the subject which it deserves. JIuch more might be done by systematic effort both in working the field and eliciting the liberality of our people. God seems to be providing the men for the work, and nothing should jjrevent the Cliurch from doing with her might what God is evidently calling her to undertake. The machinery may not be perfect, yet experience has convinced the Committee that, if faithfully worked, as it now is, the work of missions may be effectively prosecuted in these provinces. Will the Synod then give due consideration to the matters referred to in the Keport, and take such action as it may deem best for the advancement of this work, so that no part of our country may remain iinvisited, and that the languishing places of the fields may be revisited and built up. The Committee understands that, as formerly, the names of students who may be licensed during the summer as ministers, or probationers who may be received after this Synod, shall not be put on the Roll of Probationers till October next, but that they continue to labor in the mission field till that time.

THE EEPORT OF THE FOEEIGN MISSION COMMITTEE. In coining before the Synod with the Annual Report of the Foreign Mission work of the Church, your Committee thankfully recognize a measure of progress diu'ing the year ; but they are profoundly impressed with the conviction that much more might reasonably be expected from a denomination witli the large resources of men and means possessed by the Canada Presbyterian Church. What the limited means placed at their disposal enabled them to do, your Com- mittee have endeavored to accomplish, and they have not overlooked the neces- sity of evoking a larger measure of liberality. They are happy to believe that the result of appeals made through the press and otherwise, and tlie efl'ect of Mr. Nisbet's visit last year to Canada, have not been without intiuence in this direc- tion. It is gratifying to know that while the income is by no means equal to tlie expenditure necessary to carry on the work laid upon your Committee, it is considerably in advance of previous years. In entering upon their duties, your Committee endeavored without delay to send additional labourers to British Columbia and Red River, and they are happy to report that they wore able to send one Minister to each of these iields. They secured the services of Rev. Wm. Aititen, late of Smith's Falls, whom they regarded as not only fitted to minister the gospel to our destitute fellow countiy- men, but as specially qualified from his ability and experience, to form a judg- ment in reference to the prospects of our cause in that Colony. In view of the great expense of the Mission in British Columbia, and the small number of per- sons who can be gathered into a congregation at any one point, yoiu- Committee deemed it questionable whether, with their present information, the Church was warranted in increasing permanently the Missionary statF. In sending out Mr.. Aitken, it was therefore considered proper to make his Slission to a large extent one of enquiry into the state and prospects of the Colony, and of Presbyterianism therein, and limit it to a period of one or two years. Since his arrival in the field, Mr. Aitken has been laboring chiefly in Victoria, He has, however, visited New Westminster and Nanaimo, and has already com- municated to j'our Committee a large amount of valuable information. As soon, as practicable, Mr. Aitken visited Mr. Jamieson at Nanaimo, and after lengthened conference between these brethren, it was decided that Mr. Jamieson should return to New Westminster, while Mr. Aitken should occujty Victoria. The reason for preferring New Westminster to Nanaimo is found in the relative importance of the places, and in the fact that a number of small stations can be associated with New Westminster, while Nanaimo stands almost alone. Mr. Jamieson was parted with by our people at Nanaimo with deep regret, and met with a very cordial address of welcome from his former flock, in New West- minster, where he is now labouring witli his wonted fidelity Mr. Jamie- son states that the population of New Westminster has very nmch dimin- ished, but that as he now supplies other four stations where there are groups of our people, he is ministering the ordinances of religion to a larger number of persons than at any previous period since he went to British Columbia. One of • these stations is about sixteen miles up the P'ra.ser River, another fourteen miles down the river, and two some ten or twelve miles back through the woods on an inlet, on each side of Avhich there is a large saw mill, and a resident population altogether of nearly four hundred persons. Mr. Jamieson says that while the town of New Westminster is nearly deserted, he has more hojjes of the district as a whole than he ever had before. The prospects in Victoria are by no means very encouraging. The meetings wei'e very small. The most recent advices from British Colunilna intimate that Mr. Aitken has left Victoria for Nanaimo. The reason of this movement is ns yet unknown. The terms of Mr. Aitken's appointment will enable the Church at any time,, should it be deemed expedient, to reduce the Missionary «tatf in British Columbia;, and while your Committee are impressed with the importance of maintaining the Ixvi. APPENDIX. position now held bj' the Church in that Colony, whicli may at no distant day form part of the Canadian Confederation, they are of opinion that unless some means can be devised of reducing very materially the expenditure of the Mission, it may be necessary to resort to this painful course. Your Committee are happy to state that they were able to secure the services of Eev. William Fletcher, of Carlisle, for the Red River. In the month of Sep- tember, he left for his new field, and since his ariivid he has been laboring with much acceptance and success in the rising settlements on the Assineboine River. Your Committee, however, regret to say that Rev. Alex. Matthieson has seen it to be his duty to return to Canada and accept a charge, so that the Mission staff at Red River is no stronger than at the beginning of the year. But for this, the Synod might now have been in a position to establish a Presbytery of Red River, which it is exceedingly desirable should be done at an early day. After Mr. Matthieson's return, immediate steps were taken to send another Missionary to Red River. Two esteemed Ministers of the Church were in succession called to the work. From various causes, the brtsthren invited felt themselves unable to accept the calls addressed to them. Enquiries have been made after others suit- able for the work, which it is hoped by your Committee may be of value to their successors in office, should the Synod see fit to instruct them to send more laborers to that field. And in view of the early transference of the North West Territory to Canada, and the opening up of that immense and fertile region to settlement;, it seems of vast importance that additional laborers of character and ability should without delay bo sent to reinforce our brethren already there. Rev. James Nisbet has, since l:is return to the Saskatchewan, been laboring among the Red Indians with his usual zeal and assiduity. The want of another Missionary, who could visit the Indians in their camp throughout the country, or remain in charge of the Mission while Mr. Nisbet discharged that duty, is greatly felt. Experience seems to show that the Mission cannot be safely left tor any considerable period without a resident Missionary. While the Mission doubtless benefited largely by the increased interest excited by Mr. Nisbet's visit to Canada last year, there is reason to fear that it also sutfered to some extent by his absence. It was found that when he was away, the Indians were by no means so reasonable and tractable as when he was present. The father of two promising little girls who had been for some time under the care of the Mission, became exceedingly unreasonable, and insisted on removing his children from the Mission. And in spite of the tears and entreaties of these little ones, who were most anxious to remain, he compelled them to leave the ilissson. One of them, to whom Mr. and Mrs. Nisbet were greatly attached, tried to escape from her father by hiding herself, but she was discovered and taken away by force. On the way she fell from a cart, and receivfjd such severe injuries, as through the ignorance and neglect of her parents, issued in her death. This seems to have brought the father to reason. When Mr. Nisbet returned, he pleaded most earnestly to be allowed to send the other girl back to the Mission. This, after pledging himself in no way to interfere with her in future, he was permitted to do, and siie was once more restored to the Mission. Her career, however, was destined to be very short. She had complained more or less, from the time of her return, of symjitoms which indicated disease of the chest. No alann, however, was felt until the 27th of March, when she seems to have burst a blood vessel, and in the course of a few minutes death supervened. Mr. Nisbet states that fi-om the time of her return she had given them great satisfaction. He says that from that time he had never occasion to correct her. She was an example to the other children in obedience and gentleness. "We had hoped," says Mr. Nisbet, "that she might have been spared for usefulness among her people, but the Lord liad higher service for her. " Much anxiety was felt as to the effeiit this sad visitation might have on her parents and other Indians. It was feared they might regard it as a judgment upon them for for- saking their own religion. When the'parents of the little girl reached the Mis- oil inl rcf Aik APPKNinX. Ixvii. .sion after ilcath, all these fear.s were dispclU'd. (Joil, who works by what nioails He pleases, seems to have blessed this dis])eiisatioii to lead them to 1-fimself. They remained not iniite three days at the Mission, but before leaving, the father renewed his apulication for baptism madt* on two or three previous occasions. Mr. Nisbet hail a long interview with him, and was niueh surprised at the extent and accuracy of his religious knowledge. Jle had evidently prolited bj' waiting upon tlu! services at the Mission far beyond what was anticipated. After the most careful and searching examination, Mr. Nisbet felt that he could no longer refuse to administer to him the initiatory seal of the Covenant, and he accord- ingly ba])tized him i)ublicly. A .short timt; afterwards, when Mr. Nisbet visited Fort ( 'arlton, he hatl the satisfaction of baptizing, after lengthened conversation M'ith her, the wife of this Indian. t)n this occasion, the three remaining chil- dren of the lamily were received into the fellowship of the visible Church by bajitisin. !Mr. Nisbet says, " I must add that I never witnessed such a transfor- mation in the (conduct and bearin" of any man as in the father of that family. His very (.'ountenance is changed. Prom being sour and repulsive, it has become mild and gentle, and on the Sabbath in which his family were received into the Church, it beamed with delight." Such a history surely cannot fail to call for the prayers of the Church on l)ehalf of this Mission, -and to encourage us to hope that this success may pi'ove but the forerunner of more signal triumphs of divine grace among the aborigines of our country. On tlie lirst Sabbath of March, the Sacrament of the Lord's Sujtjx'r was dis- jiensed at tlie Mission, when twenty-one persons sat down at the Table of the Lord, all of whom, except thr(M>, were either Indians, or more or less allied to th(! Indian tribes. Tlu^ majority of those who communicated had been connected previously with the Episcopal Church. Among those admitted for the fir.st time was an invalid Indian nained James, who was baptized Viy Mr. Nisbet upwards of a year ami a half jireviously. Since his ba])tism, this convert has been making very marked satisfactory ])rogress in the knowledge of the Gospel, and in the djveloi^nimt of a widl -balanced christian character. AVith growing weakness, there appears in this invalid such a growth of spirituality as indicates that he is preparing for a better country. Mr. Nisbet refers to other cases which show that, amid many discouragements, yoiu' Missionary is not left withotit tin; presence and blessing of his Master. During the year, your Committee have been, according to instructions received from last Synod, making empiiries in reference to a suitable lield for another ilis- sion to the heathen. Their attention has been turned anew to the New Hebrides by a letter from Eev. Dr. Geddie, appealing earnestly to Canada for Missionaries. To India, where one section of our now hapi>ily united Church formerly attempted to establish a Mission, consideration has also been given. Corrcvspondence has also been hehl with Hugh M. Alatheson, Esq., Convener of the Foreign Mission Committee of the Presbyterian Church of England, from whom very valuable and iiKOuraging information has been received regarding China. In that large and interesting lield, many most promising openings could readily be pointed out wliere the Canada Presbyterian Church could commence operations, and where tliey would be gladly welcomed by their English brethren. The Presbyterian Church of England maintains nine ordained European Mi.ssionaries, and thirty- two native assistants, at an expense of £0,488 stg. per annum, and is meeting with much encouragement in the work. Your Committee also corresponded with Kev. Dr. John C. Lowrie, New York, one of the Secretaries of the Foreign Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, (O.S.) in reference especially to Brazil, and from him they received, in the most promi)t and friendly manner, the recpiired information resjiecting Brazil, and also important facts in reference to China and Japan. Among the various fields which linve come specially under their notice, your Committee are inclined to look most favorably upon China. During the year, the Convener met with the students of Knox C'ollege, and •5 Sf Ixviii. APPENDIX. i of the Presbytt'iiim College, Montrciil, and lirouglit before them the cliiimsof the heatlien world ; and your Committee are hajn)y to state that intimation has been received from two stndents in Toronto, and from one in Montreal, of their inten- tion to devote themselves to the Foreign ilission iield. None of these young men have yet eompleted their studies, .so as to be immediately available. The Committee ask the special attention of the Synod to tin; following state- ment of the receipts and disbursements for the year : — ' ' ' . ; ' IIKCEIPT.S.

Of tlie eolhictions, the sum of St)80. 50 was contributed by Sabbath Schools specially for the School of the Saskatchewan Mission, and $71.84 fur the Eed River. It is pleasing to observe fronr this statement that the receipts from collections and donations show an inin-ease of $838. 40 during the year. To this also mu.st be added the money value of donations of clothing, &c. received foi- the Saskat- chewan Mission, viz : $531.35, showing a total increase of $1,369.75, and bring- ing up the total contrbutions for the year to the sum of $5,710.93. The expenditure, it will be noticed, is unusually heavy. This has been occa- sioned, in part, by sending additional laborers to British Columbia and Red River. The principal increa.se, however, has taken place in connection with the Saskatchewan Mission, on which the sum of $4,321.75 has been expended during the year. But Avhile this large amount has been paid during the year, it has not been paid for the year. It includes a considerable amount of arrears which were due to the employees of the Mission, and supplies for tAvo years. Supplies were formerly obtained on credit from the Hon. H. B. Co. This year, for reasons which seem satisfactory, JSIessrs. Nisbet and Black decided to buy them in Canada. The result of this change is that we have to pay the Hon. H. B. Co. for the supplies of last year, and advance cash to purchase, in Canada, the stores neces- sary for next year. The increase in this department was unavoidable whenever a credit system was exchanged for cash payments. While the expense necessary to cany on tlie work at present on hand will, during the ensuing year, be somewhat less than in the past, it is quite apparent that unless there is a marked increa.se in the contributions of the Churcli, yoru' Committee will, when they next appear before you, have to report a debt instead of a balance in hand. In conclusion, your Committee, in the interests of Foreign ^lissions, respect- fully submit and urge upon the Synod for adoption, the following recommenda- tions, viz : — 1. That the Foreign ilission Committee shall hereafter consist of twelve per- sons, whose travelling expenses in attending meetings of the C'ommittee .sh.all bo paid, and of one corresponding member in each Presbytery, who, when present at any meeting of the Committee, shall be entitled to deliberate and vote.

All of which is r«'SiM'ctfully submitted. W.M. ^IrLAR?2N, Convener. REPORT OF THE ST. ANN'S FRENCH MISSION, KANKAKEE, . . , ILLINOIS, U. S. The Committee have during the past year to note, that by the blessing of God on the labors of the jMissionaries and Teachers, u considerable measure of prosperity has attended the work entrusted to them. All their operations are fioiirishing, and Ihey have, by the liberality of the people generally, obtained an amount of support nearly equal to tlieir requirements. In prc'senting a detailed report to the Synod it may be useful to recal some of the early circumstances connected with the Mission, and by which it came to assume its present position as one of the enterprises of the Cluirch. In 18t)2 Mr. Chiniquy presented himself to the Synod which met at Toronto, with a petition from his people in St. Ann's and Kankakee City, rerjiiesling that they should be received under our care. The Synod listened respectfully to his case, and deeming the cause with which he was identified important in its bearings on Canada, did, after conference with Mr. Chiniquy, appoint a com- mittee of three to proceed to St. Ann's to make enquiry into all the circum- stances of the case ; and in the event of their finding their way clear, to commit Mr. Chiniquy ami J''^ congregations to the care of the Presbytery of London, who, according to the practice of the Church, should present t!ie case fully matured for the consideration of the next Synod. The Committee visited St. Aim's as appointed, made enciuiries in Chicago and other places, of every one whom they found to be at all acquainted with ilr. Chiniquy or his case. They personally met with many members of the Presbytery of Chicago, and witii parties opposed to Air. Chiniquy in Kankakee and St. Ann's. They obtained access to all papers on the question, both pri- vate and official. They found that Mr. Chiniquy. after full acquittal by both Presbytery and Synod on a trial involving his Ministerial character, had six months after been charged anew by the Presbytery of Chicago Avith matters of a character similar to the first— that Mr. Chiniquy, deeming this to be oppres- sive and unjust, had, with his congregation, resigned his connection Avith the Presbyterian Church in the United States, and applied for admission to us ; that nevertheless the Presbytery of Chicago continued the process, and on his declining their jurisdiction, they deposed him from the office of the ministry for alleged contumacy, eight days after their first consideration of the case, and while your Committee were on their way to enquire into it. This was a new circumstance to the Committee. They had now not only to enquiie into the original cause of trouble, but into the circumstances of the deposition. This they patiently did. They made a representation, both written and oral, to the Presbytery, soliciting, for the sake of the interests involved, a reconsideration of the case, or a Committee to confer with thoin, if so it might be that some Ixx. APl'KNDIX. way of lecoaciliatioii might bo dt^vised. This, liowevcr. the Presbyk'ry rospect- I'uliy declined, iudicutlng their purpose to regard only the legal aspects of the case. In theau circiinistances tiie Committer made full inquiry into all the facts, obtained certiHed copies of all the oflicial documents, and from these sources and from conference with Mr. Chiniipiy himself, pre.^iented an elaborate report to the Synod of 18ti3, entering fully into all the points of the case. The Synod, after careful consideration, referred the whole matter to a special Committee to prepare and report u decision, which was accordingly done, and their recom- mendation adopted by a large majority, to the effect that, •' considering the inter- ests of religion involved in the case, and finding nothing on account of which they should withhold their fraternal recognition of Mr. Chiniijuy, agree to receive him as a minister, he disclaiming any intentional disrespect to the Pres- bytery of Chicago in his proceedings, and to place him and his congregation under the spiritual care of the Presbytery .of London. The Presbytery of Chicago to be respectfully informed of the decision.'* These were the circumstances \inder which Mr. Chiniciuy and his people came under our care in 18()3. They have continued ever since in our connec- tion, and been the objects of our solicitude. A special Committee was appointed to advise with .Mr. Chiniquy about his Mission work, who reported the state of the Mission to the Synod of 1864. For the next year it was left entirely in the hands of the Presbytery of London. To the Synod of IHCtJ that Presbytery isent a memorial resi)ecting the pecuniary difficulties under which the Mission at St. Ann's was laboring, and stating that it could not be sustained in efficiency and vigour without assistance to the amount of .$1000 or $I2oO, and praying the Synod to give serious consideration to this peculiar and interesting Mission. In reply ti) this appeal the Synod unanimously agreed to grant aid to the mission rt) the amount of ^(JOO, and to instruct the Presbytery to take such other meas- ures for its support as they deemed most suitable. In 18t)7 the Presbytery of London again reported on the Mission to the .Synod, which agreed to record their gratitude to God for the good work whicli had been accomplished at St. Ann's and Kankakee, relieve the Home Mission Committee of the charge of sujjporting this Mission, and remit the whole ques- tion of its s^upport and management to the consideration of a Committee, and to report at a future diet. On the recommendation of this Committee, the Synod constituted the St. Ann's Mission one of the schemes of the Church to ■which all the congregations were requested to contribjite, and placed it under the care of a standing Synodical Committee. In 18(J8 the Committee reported in favorable terms to the Synod that the schools had been conducted with some measure of success, and the work of Evangelization prosecuted with zeal ; several young men were reported as pre- paring for the Gospel Ministry, and liberal contributions had been received from ^Canada and otlier parts of the world. Such is a brief resume of the history of this I^lission since it came under our (Care, and it shows how we have been Providentially led to take, yearly, a deeper hold of it, and to form a higher conception of its importance. For the past year, the Committee have to report that the work in its various departments has been conducted with comfort, and its various operations quietly but zealously prosecuted. I. As to Emngclization.—T\w Church at St. Ann's under the immediate care of Mr. Chiniquy has been sustained with more than usual interest. After careful scrutiny, it is found, that notwithstanding a considerable emigration to the West, there are 130 families at St. Ann's and the vicinity, connected with the Church, and a communion roll of about 520 members. About thirty fami lies have emigrated this year from the district to more distant parts in tht^ West, with whom, however, frequent communication is kept up. Mr. Chiniquy is glad to report that they continue to walk in the light of the Gospel, and to act as Missionaries to the French families around them. From the membership of theChurch, 120havebeenlostbyemigration,and40addedby profession of faith, 15 APPKNDIX. Ixxi. of these liavlng been converts from th(f Roiium Catholic Church. Jlr. C. con- Hiders that about fifteen Roman Catholic families have been brought out of the Church of Home by his instrumentality during tiie past year, five of these in St. Ann's, and the rest in different parts of the country, including about 100 persons in all. Uesides this, thirty persons who were Roman Catholics, but had received much instruction from ilr. Chinicpiy, have written him to say that their faitii is nuich shaken in Rome, and asking further information. One says : •• I have very serious doubts as to the Catliolic Church being the Churcii estab- lished by our Saviour and the Apostles, and hearing that you had once been a Priest, 1 know you can give mo the proper guide to the truth." Mr. Chlniquy finds it a heavy business to answer all such letters; but he rejoices tlms to be able to reach many inquirers after the truth in distant parts. From the converts who have been brought to Christ he receives also many letters, giving inter- esting details of the work of grace in their hearts, and of their zeal for the conversion of others. A gentleman from the borders of Lower Canada writes : '• My heart is fillod with an unspeakable joy day and night when I consider what the Lord has wrought in my soul through your instructions. What a peace ! What treasures of hope are in me! 'iliere is only one thing that distresses me, it is the sight of those multitudes of our dear countrymen who are still the slaves of the Pope, at the feet of the idols of Rome. I have taken the absolute determination to serve and glorify God with all my heart all the days of my life. But there is another thing which I am determined to do ; it is to conse- crate my life to tlie conversion of oiu' poor conutryraen. Please send mo a letter to tell me the best way of bringing them to Christ. I would show that letter to whom your name is alway.s dear. I will try to hold meetings, when I will show that we must follow Jesus and hear his word, and not the traditions of men to be saved." Again, Afr. Chiniquy reports, " I received a letter from a young man who had come from Lower Canada, and while here was a very firm Rbman Catholic. I did all I could to bring him to Christ, but in vain. He left this place still luider the influence of Satan. I had almost forgotten him. when last week he wrote me, that though he was entirely blind to the truth when he left me, and tried to forget the reasons I had given him for leaving the Church, they were yet in his heart as a seed which notJiiiig could destroy, and to-day, by the grace of God, that seed had grown to fruits of salvation. He has found his Saviour, and with Him peace and joy. He wants to go back to his friends in Canada, and says that he will give them no rest till he has brought them all to the feet of Christ. A lady convert writes : — '• I cannot thank and bless enough the beloved Saviour for his great mercy towards me and my sister. AVhat a glorious thing to know and feel that we have such a loving Saviour. You may imagine that everything has been done to bring back my dear sister to the Church of Rome ; but all in vain . She is firm as a rock. Lately, as a last resource, they proposed a conference with the priest : she consented with pleasure, and the God of truth so visibly helped her that the poor priest was so visibly confounded that ho refused to come again, lie kind enough to give me in writing, for private use, those reasons against the mass, confession, and purgatory, which have made, by the grace of God. such a deep and lasting impression on me and my sister."' Mr. ('hiniquy visited during this year several places on the shores of Lake Huron, and everywhere numbers of Roman Catholics have come to hear him. There is not a single place where God has not shown his mercy towards some of his countrymen. One instance was very remarkable and aft'ecting. while he was speaking to about 200 French Canadians in the Hiu-on district, a good part of whom were Roman Catholics . After speaking he allowed the audience to put any question to him they wished. One man accepted the invitation, and said : " J^r. Chiniquy, I was with my wife among your penitents in Montreal when you were there a priest. Hut there is a sad difference between your language then and to-day. If what you say to day is correct, you were an impositor when a priest ; Ixxii. APPENDIX. and if what you told us in tlio grout church theru was tnio, you must bo an impostor to-day." His wife repeated almost the same, words Ho answered : " When I was a priest ot Home I was an impostor, if that word can bo used of one who is sincere in his error. I believed the errors ot Jvome then as if they were the Gospel. I was a blind man loading men into the pit of perdi- tion. I3ut God has o]ioned my eyes. I now see that Jesus is the only truth, only light, only life. You will understand that better if you will come and hear me this evening." He promised to come, saying: "wo want to hear all you have to say ; but we intend to be true and faithful lo our Holy Church of Home ; you will not change jis.*" They were at his mooting in the afternoon, ami again in the evening. It was a dark and tempestuous night; but, nevertheless, the chajjol was filled to suffo- cation. The text was " If thou didst know the gift of God," Ac. Ho showed that Jesus was a gift of infiniti" love lo liie sinner — that we had only to accept the gift and be saved. Ho told them the diflerence between the religion of Christ and that of the Tope. In the latter wo could not be saved without doing a thousand things, more or less absurd, nor witliout payment. In the religion of Christ we had only to accept ot the gift, and our salvation was sure. Ho had not quite finished when a kind of tiunult arose at the end of the meeting house; soon ho perceived a female trying to make her way towards him with difttculty through the crowd, saying, as she advanced, '■ Quel don ! Quel don ! (what a gift!)" She took his hand, and with tears in her eyes she cried out, '• (J Mr. Chini- quy, what a loving and merciful God we have ! what a gift ho has sent me ! I accept the gift, I accept the gift." The action of this woman was so solenm and affecting that it made a deep impression on the whole people. Very soon there was another movement in the audience, and a man was seen trying to make his way through the crowd saying, •• Qud don! Quel don!'' When near, betook the hand of his weeping wife and said. •• Dear wife, you will not be alone to accept the gift. I accept it also. O what a God ! what a nuTciful God, to send such a gift ! why is it that 1 have never understood his love ? I have six children, and to-morrow I hope they will accept the gift too."' This family is continuing steadfast in the faith, and have been the instrument of the conversion of several Romanists. While the deputation were at St. Ann's a young man from Lower Canada came to yiv. Chiniquy. whose parents were lionian Catholics. His brother in St. Ann's sent him a Bible. His parents were angry at his using it, and he was denounced from the pulpit by the Priest. They all urged him to burn the Bible, but he would not. l]y its teaching he came to Christ and found peace. He had to sulfi.T much in his father's house of reproach. Finally ho resolved to come to St. Ann's for further instruction in the Gospel. He wanted to spread the light of the Gospel among his jteople. "'As soon" says he, "as I know the Holy Scriptures enough. I intend to go back to Lower Canada, and hoj)e, by the help of God. to bring my frieiuls and others to Christ." This young num is now studying with a view to the ministry. Lately, llr. Chiniquy visited the district of Muskegan, Jlichigan, United States, and lie reports a great blessing to many of his countrymen there. Three whole fiunilies publicly renounced the errors of Rome, with about six single individuals, and many more give hope that they too will come to Christ, JMore than seventy-live adults are already converted there. They need a Missionary and have sent an earnest petition to this Synod for one. Seventeen families make this request, and promise to contribute liberally for the support of the Gospel. Such are a few incidents which show the kind of work Mr. C. is doing, and the influence hl-> Jlission is exerting on Lower Canada. Other things might be stated to the same effect of the direct influence of the converts on the parishes of Lower Canada. To the Committee, there is no doubt that the converts in St. Ann's, and generally in the United States, are exerting a powerful influence in favor of tlie Gospel among the habitants of the Province of tjiueboc. At the city of Kankakee, Mr. Demars has labored for the greater part of the APPENDIX. Ixxiii. year with jfood fldelity and not without honi'llt. lit; conducted a school for 8omo tinu!, liiul an ottVctivw controversy witli (ho Priest iti tlie public papers, and watched over the French children, who during tlie winter were accommo- dated in tho Methodist Sunday school. As, however, the divisions among the French Protestants there were not healed, and on account of his health, he deemed it desirable to nisign his charge. After conference with him and con- sultation with the people, the Committee agreed to recommend the acceptance of the resignation to the Presbytery. Tiii,-< was accordingly done, and Mr. UemaiN returned to St. Ann's to engage in tho practice of medicine, promising to make himself \iscful in promoting religion, lie has tho sincere esteem of tho Committee, who hope to engage his services in some other part of the field. Mr. J. H. Paradis has taken his place with consent of tlie people in Kankakee. So far his labors have been acceptable and successful. The peojjle seem to unite under his ministry. He has organized the congregation into a class lor the prai:ers of tlio Chtirch, and some claimed from Mr. Chinicpiy by a former administrator of the charitable funds for the French people, every other claim that burdened the Mission has now been settled. The amount of these securities, which greatly trouble the people, are not known to the Committee, but they are tuiderstood to be considerable. It is desirable that they should be amicaldy settled. For this purpose the Commit- tee would recommend the appointment of a small Conuiiittee to confer with the Synod of Chicago, and, if pos.sible. secure the harmonious working of the Jlission in future, and the removal of all hindrances to its progress. The Committee estimate that a sum of not less than $0,000 will be necessary for the eflicient working of the Mission next year, nearly one-half of which will be required for the education of the students, and a proportion for the extension of our evangelistic work. This, with the sanction of the Synod they confidently hope to obtain from the liberality of the friends of the cause. It will be necessary, ere long, to luidertake the erection of a suitable placo of worship lor the congregation of St. Arin"s. Their ])resent building Ls far from comfortal)le or commodious. The people can, doiibtless. aid a little in this enterprise, but not nnich. If it is to be done in a creditable manner, large assistance nuist be obtained from other somces. It is a work that would pro- bably commend itself to the Churches of Britain. A jtroper representation to them might result in obtaining contributions adequate for this purpose. In conclusion, the Committee feel that this mission is growing in interest and importance. It is being consolidated, and the piety of its people quiclcened. Ixxvi. APPENDIX. ill; We know of none of our converts who have returned to Homo, but are assured of the (growing steadfastness of their faith. The young are being carefully trained in the Word of God. and taught to distinguish between the errors of Rome and the truth of the Gospel. From the Mission a constant influence is (luiotly extending to many and distant parts of the country, and especially to many oi the yet neglected parishes of Lo"'er Canada. We know of no place on tlie continent wln.'re Rome has been so successfully assailed, and where a larger breach has been made on her solid defences. Through the Mission of St. Ann's ■we have an open door into the very heart of Frencii Popery. Of its silent and widespread operations the ])riests of Rome are aware and afraid. From it, besides, we are securing, as the fruits of iMr. Chiniquy's devoted and persevering labors a band of vigorous and educated young men. who will l)ecome acceptable and efficient missionaries to their coimtrymen. The Committee would thank God and take c(mrage, and commend this Mission to the affection and confidence of the Church as a work which in providence has, without our own seeking, been assigned to us, and which offers a prorfiisiiig opening for the evangelization of a million of our French fellow citizens.

Gibson, of Erskine Church, Montreal, to lecture in the department of Exegetical Theology, which he did during the entire session. The Board have much pleasure in expressing their high satisfaction with the fulness and thoroughness of the in.struciion imparted by Professor McVicar, and the efficiency of th(! services so kindly rendered by Mr. Gibson, as also the high place which these brethren have secured in the confidence and esteem of the students.

Tbe Board, at the n-qnest of the Senate, unanimously rrsolved to submit the following recommendations : — 1. That the Synod appoint two Lecturers to co-operate with the Professor next Session, or grant leave to the College Board to exploy such. 2. That, in lerms of a memorial from the Presbytery of Montreal, bearing date rith May last, the Synod may be pleased to instruct the Board to engage, for at least three years, a thoroughly qualified French Lecturer in Theology, or that the Synod itself appoint such, and direct French students of the Canada Presbyterian Church to wait upon his prelections ; and, further, that the Synod provide for the payment of his salary, and the siipport of the French students, by granting an annual collection for this purpose, or in any way that may be deemed proper. All of which is respectfully submitted. NAMES OV STIDEXT.^. C. C. Stewart ; K. McRae ; R. McKenzie : J. W'ellwood ; C. C. Cniickf-hank ; 11. MacLennan ; W. J. Dey ; 1). D. McLennan ; G.

If the liper- Is for EEPOET or THE BOARD OP MANAGEMENT OF KNOX COLLEGE. The Board of management of Knox College report to the Synod, that the number of students in attendance on the classes in the 'Iheological lepartment for the past session was 2!), of whom five were in the senior, nine were in tbe second, and fifteen in the junior class, being an increa.se of nine over the number reported last year. In the preparatory department forty students were enrolled, exclusive of those taking a full ministry course. A number of the students in the Theological Department availed themselves of Prof. Young's classes. The number enrolled shows an increase in the preparatory depart- ment of thirty-five as compared witli last year. Before the opening of last session, a letter was received from Dr. Burns intimating that it was his ])urpose to spend the winter in Scotland, and making certain suggestions in reference to the Church History class. These suggestions were referred to the Professois and Lecturers, and the class has been taught during the session by Principal Willis. The Rev. J. A. Proudfoot. of London, by appointment by last Synod, taught the class of Homiletics during the first halfot the session. The Rev. Robert Ure, of Goderich, also entered iipon his duties as Lecturer of Apologetics immediately after the Christmas holidays ; but the Board deeply regret that after teaching tbe chus for a lew weeks, he was obliged, on account of ill-health, to resign, and return to his home. Prin- cipal Willis, Profe.ssor Caven. and Mr. Young, succes.sively took charge of the class during the latter part of the session. The Board desire to express their high sense of the zeal and alacrity with which the Principal and Professors dis- charged the additional duties thus unexpectedly thrown upon them. The Rev. George Paxton Young. A.M., having accepted the appointment of the last Synod, entered upon his duties, and taught classes in Mental Phil- osophy, Elementary Greek, and Latin. These classes were largely attended, and from the eminent success of Professor Young's past lectures, the Board anticipate that great good to the College will result from Mr. Young's labours during the ensuing session. The Boarding House has been conducted by Mr. Willing as formerly. The Board, in compliance with a request from the students to take some steps in regard to the price of board, agreed to grant to Mr. Willing the sum of §150, on condition that the students receive board at the rate of $3 per week. Ixxx. APPENDIX. !- f-i Several additions have been made to the College bursaries during the year, and the thanks of the Board have been tendered to J. Loghrin, Esq.. Eramosa, lor n bunsary of $a(), to be continued yearly for a serie.s of years, for a student in Theology ; to the Rev. James Harris for a r,v;holarshi]) of the same aniount, to be afterwards permanently established ; to a friend, who, thro>igh Professor C'aven, presented a valuable prize for e.vcelleuce in Hebrew ; and aL«) to Dr. Burns for his efforts in Scotland on behalf of the College. In reference to the Funds the lioard beg to report that the amount received from congregations and donations for the ordinary Fund has been ,$5,663 85 ; of this, $3()l> were received in tlie form of donations. The expenditure has been $0,228 27, showing a balance of expenditure over income of $5(J4 42. There is also a sum of .$1,414 83 due to Professors, making the total indebtedness of this fund !$-2,0()9 25. The debt due last year was $1,5C1 17, so that there is again an increase of inde))tedness, as compared with last year, of $448 08. Last year the increase of the debt was .$431 71, and the Board express their very deep regret that it is this year Increased by a still larger amount. The attention of the Synod is especially directed to this subject. There has also been contributed to the special fund for Professor Young's salary $1,274 40, from thirty-three congregations. The Board appointed a special Committee to take into consideration the propriety of taking immediate steps for the endowment of the College. The Committee, however, found that in several large congregations nothing could be done in this direction, while others expressed their readiness to contribute, but stited that, owing to the unsettled condition of the business of the country, the contributions were likely to prove comparatively small. In view of these facts, the Board did not feel warranted to mature a scheme lor this purpose ; but they have also to state that in many districts of the Church there is an evident desire that an immediate efl'ort should be made, and they respectfully ask the Synod's serious consideration of the whole subject. The Board desire to express their high sense of tl.e value of the services of the Rev. J. A. Proudfoot and the Rev. Robert Ure, who have for the two last sessions, with great etticiency, taught the classes in Ilomiletics and Apologetics ; but in view ot the state of the finances, the Board reluctantly recommend that the lectureships be for the present discontinued.

Mr. J. G. Colder was examined on all the subjects for the third year in Theology, but Latin. His examination, so far as submitted to, was sustained. His case was referred to the Senate, who are ac([uainted with his previous stand- ing in the classes. Tlie Board found, of the first year students in Tiieology, Mr. Armstrong, and after him Mr. Kay, entitled to the Baync Scholarshij), but precluded from holding it, as already holding scholarships from the Board as University students.
