A Tract on Confirmation, by the Lord Bishop of Toronto. 500 2000 2000 1500 2000 1000 The Depository has not yet paid its own expenses, and it cannot be expected that it should do so, until a greater amount of capital has been invested in it. The attainment of this desirable end has been steadily kept in view, and the system of cash payments, and not giving credit in any case whatever, has been found to work in the most satisfactory manner, at once introducing a safe, punctual, and simple mode of dealing, and insuring a speedy return of the capital expended on books. Without the adoption of this system the Society, during the past year, would have been rendered almost inoperative and useless. It was indispensably necessary that a place of business should be procured before the Society could eflFect any thing, and that such books and tracts should be placed within reach of the members of the Church, as would arouse them to a sense of their distinctive privileges and responsibilities, and their duty to support the Society to the utmost of their power. The Central Board, however, have not considered these ob- jects, though first in order, as first in importance. Directly they had done all that they could to enlarge the stock of th« Depository, and thus to diminish the burthen of its expenses, r M' i iM thoy applied themselves to tlie task of providin/^ means for the support of additional Missionaries. A sub-connuittee was appointed to intiuire into the present resources and probable future income of the Society; and, on their recom- mendation, a permanent annual sum of XI 00 was placed at the disposal of the Bishop, to bo appropriated in such man- ner as to his Lordship miyht seem judicious. I'ublic inti- mation of this grant having been giv»Mi, his Lordship has already received applicatit)ns from the Prince IvJward and the Gore and Wellington Branches, and to each of these has consented to allott the annual sum of £2'), on a sura of £75 being contributed by each association. , . These are but faint beginnings of the most important ■work which can engage the attention of the Society ; but it was considered wiser to commence in a safe and cautious manner, and to make gradual but sure pi'ogress, than to launch out into expensive undertakings unwarranted by the infant strength of the Society, and little justified by the pecuniary aspect of the times. In connexion with the Parent Society the following branches have been formed : — 1. The Newcastle and Colborne. ;. vv >■ > ■ 2. The Midland. ,. . „ . . 3. The Prince Edward, .i j , ,>,. 4. The Eastern. .• . , „: ■; 5. The Niagara. ,, .„ ,,. , 6. The Gore and Wellington. 7. The London, Brock, Talbot, and Huron. From five of these Associations reports have been received, the substance of which may be thus stated : ''--' '* THE MIDLAND. Annual Subscriptions, Life Subscriptions and Donations, £166 7s. 2d.; Acres of Land, 2221. ' The report embraces little beyond what has been done in Kingston. ' :^--<'ir i/vi" oirJV'K?!

The donations in land amount to 2312 acres, 1 town lot and house in Hamilton, and 2 lots in Gait.

THE LONDON, BROCK, TALBOT, AND HURON. Subscriptions in money, 225/. 17s. Gd.; Acres of land 1877. All the five preceding reports are confessedly more or less imperfect, from the very brief time which had elapsed between the formation of the Branch and Parochial Asso- ciations and the period fixed by the constitution for the making a report. In every report, the paramount importance of employ- ing missionaries is most fully recognised, and in two or three of them special appropriations for that purpose are mentioned to have been made. THE NEWCASTLE AND COLBORNE. From this Association no report has been received ; but from information on which reliance may be placed, it is ascertained that about £150 has been subscribed, a consid- erable p<»rtion of which has been expended in the support of a travelling missionary. Upwards of 1,000 acres of land have been contributed for special or general purposes. THK PRINCE EDWARD. This Association has been organized, and in the Parish of Picton ulone the sum of £40 has been subscribed. The sums raised by the Branch Associations are excla- live of the amount collected throughout the Diocese, after the sermon preached in aid of the funds of the Deposh* tory. To the lists of lands given to this society, already enu- merated, are to be added 2,634 acres, the gift of niemben of the Parent Society. In reviewing the labours of the Society during the past year, it is not to be denied that they have been seriously affected and retarded by the very heavy depression which has weighed down the agriculture and commerce of the Province. In addition to which it must be borne in mind that the Society, though nominally in existence for more than a year, did not enter upon its premises until the month of July, and received no importation of books from Eng- land until the latter end of October. When these draw- backs, and the usual difficulties of organizing a large and widely ramified association amongst the thinly scattered population of an immense diocese, are taken into consid- eration, the retrospect of the past year will not bo dispirit- ing or unsatisfactory. The total amount of the first yearns income is (may it not be said?) but an earnest of better and greater things ; yet in the collection of it a spirit has been awakened, which, there can be little reasonable doubt, but for some such Society, would long have lain dormant and concealed. The members of the Church, from being brought to act in a body, begin to feel that it is their bounden duty to assist in bearing the burden which has so long rested upon the two venerable and munificent Societies in England. They begin to think upon the moral and reli- gious necessity devolving upon them of making a provision for future generations, of ministering in worldly things to those who minister unto them in spiritual things, of increas- ing the scanty incomes of the Clergy, and providing suita- ble houses for their residence. Through this Society, Churchmen have been taught to appreciate and realize, ia i 11!' ' L (■ I 10 a more lively manner than heretofore, the nature of the visible Kingdom of Christ, and to understand how great a privilege it is to belong to it, to receive the holy sacra- ments and ordinances at the hands of a three-fold ministry ueiiving its authority through an uninterrupted Apostolical Succession, and to be supplied with the sound preservatives contained in our scriptural liturgy, against the various forms of " false doctrine, heresy, and schism," so nume- rous and so monstrous in this present age. It may be well to observe that the pecuniary means rais- ed by this Society constitute but a portion of the contribu- tions of the Church throughout the Diocese. In the Parish of Toronto alone, a sum perhaps nearly equal to the past year's income of the Parent Society (exclusive of the Bran- ches) is raised for various religious purposes connected with the Church ; and in every parish and mission, the alms and offerings of Churchmen are directed into a variety of channels other than, though similar to, those presented by this Society. While thus briefly glancing at the occurrences of the past >ear, the Society are reminded that two of their most estimable members have been removed from them by the hand of God, — Admiral Vansittart, and the Rev. Robert David Cartright, A. M. Each, in his sphere, was a faithful follower of the Saviour, and a zealous pro- moter of the well-being and unity of his body, the Church. The former was gathered to his rest in a ripe and honour- able old age, and passed away gently in the humble hope of living for ever in bliss with his Redeemer and his God. The latter was cut off in the prime of life, and in the midst of ministerial usefulness: but he lived long enough to exhibit the loveliness and the efficacy of the faith which he professed and taught, and to animate every member of this Society to devote himself to its advancement, as a work of faith, which will follow him, with its reward, into another and a better world. S B m It is also due to the late Rev. William Parker, the Secretary of the Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge, — of which venerable body we desire to be considered as an offshoot, — to record the high sense of his long and meritorious services entertained throughout this diocese. To him, as a zealous instrument in carrying out the noble and pious designs of the Association with which he was connected, the tribute of gratitude and respect is owing, and is here most sincerely rendered to his honoured memory. Such examples must stimulate the living to extend the influence of this Society, and, through this Society, as the accredited handmaid of the Church, the influence and wider diffusion of the Saviour's kingdom. On the 8th March, 1698, the first meeting of the Society for Promot- ing Christian Knowledge was held in London, when only five members were present. In two years after, that Socie- ty was divided into two branches ; the one, becoming the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts ; the the other retaining its first name. They have since, from humble beginnings, become the two greatest blessings of the Christian world in modern times, the parents and nurs- ing mothers of the Church in the United States and in the British Colonies, and the propagators of evangelical truth and apostolic order in the most distant regions of the world. Following in their footsteps, — taking their example for a guide, — like them, commencing every undertaking in faith and reliance on the Saviour, — and encouraged by the simul- taneous efforts of the kindred associations in the Dioceses of Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and in the Arch- deaconry of New Brunswick, as well as by the wonderful prosperity of our beloved sister Church in the United States, — this Society may surely press forward in its Chris- tian course, with every hopa of receiving the continued protection and favour of Almighty God. t ! p' I i I 12 '^'ff: The following Resolutions were then adopted:— On the motion of the Hon. Mr. Justice Haoermak, seconded by the Rev. Dr. Bethune, Diocesan Professor of Theology, Resolved — That the Report just read be adopted, and that it be printed under the direction of the Managing Committee of the Central Board in such number and form as to them may seem expedient.

Dr. McCaul, Vice President of the University of King's College, Resolved — That this Meeting desires to record its thank- fulness to Almighty God, for the success which He has been pleased to vouchsafe to this Society during the first year of its existence. On the motion of J. H. Cameron, Esq., seconded by Lewis Moffatt, Esq., Resolved — That the thanks of the Society be tendered to those Clergymen who, in compliance with a Circular Letter from the Lord Bishop, have preached a Sermon in aid of the funds of the Depository. On the motion of J. H. Hagarty, Esq., seconded by the Rev. Dr. Beaven, Professor of Divinity in the University of King's College, Resolved — That the proceeds of the next Annual Sermon to be preached throughout the Diocese, in compliance with the Lord Bishop's Circular Letter, be appropriated to the formation of a permanent fund for the support of Mission- aries, and that the amount be invested in some public or landed security, — the annual interest alone to be expended. On the motion of the Hon. H. Sheuwood, M. P. P., Mayor of Toronto, seconded by the Rev. Adam Townlet, Resolved— That His Excellency Sir Charles Metcalte, be respectfully requested to become a Patron of the Society. _(,,!, ^'v' ^! si, A, - i t' - I € I. 13 - On the motion of the Rev. T.

Birchall, Esq., Treasurer, for the ensuing year. At this stage of the proceedings the Chief Justice brought up and read the following Report of the Lay Committee : — FIRST REPORT OF THE LAY COMMITTEE Of the Church Society of the Diocese of Toronto, adopted at the Annual General Meeting, held on the 7 th June, 1843. The Lay Committee of the Church Society of the Diocese of Toronto being required, by the 15th Article of the Con- stitution of the Society, to report their proceedings to th« Diocesan Society at their stated meetings, beg leave to pre- sent the following Report: — By the Constitution of the Society, adopted at its first meeting on the 28th April, 1842, it was provided that the Lay Committee " should meet on a day to be named by the Diocesan Society, and that the Committee should then take measures for framing and submitting to the Society, for their consideration and approval, a Constitution, regulating the future composition, numbers, appointment, and proceed- ings of the Committee: which Constitution, with such modi- fications as the Society might then or afterwards determine upon, shall govern the Committee in future." On the 28th June the Lay Committee, as temporarily constituted on the 28th April, met. according to the appointment of the Diocesan Society, and having chosen their Chairman, with the approv- al of the Lord Bishop, a Sub-Committee was appointed to frame a Constitution for the government of the Lay Com- mittee. At the next meeting of the Lay Committee, the Sub- Commiittee reported a draft of a proposed Constitution, which was, on the same day, considered and agreed upon by the Lay Committee as proper to be recommended to the •>i>i'efliuO .i*J! * l P X p i 15 rdoption of the Society. This drafl was submitted' to the Society, for its approval, at the next stated meeting of th» Central Board, when a discussion arose upon some of the details, and the Lord Bishop being absent, it was thought best (as the Committee was informed) to postpone the fur- ther consideration of the proposed Constitution till his Lordship's return, and until a fuller meeting of the Board eould be assembled. From the continued absence of the Lord Bishop in distant parts of his Diocese, and the absence also of several members who take a zealous interest in the affairs of the Church, it was not found convenient to bring up the draft of the Constitution for final discussion, until the meeting of the Central Board, which took place on the first Wednesday in December last. On that day the pro- posed Constitution was considered and approved of by the Central Board, from which time only the Lay Committee has been in a situation to apply itself to the objects for which it is associated. ■■ '■ A copy of the Constitution is appended to this Report. Anxious to proceed in most cordial concurrence with the Church Society, and with the Lord Bishop of the Diocese^ the Lay Committee, at their first meeting, passed the follow- ing resolution : — " Resolved — That it being the intention of the Society that " all the proceedings of this Committee should be under the '* supervision and with the sanction of the Lord Bishop of the " Diocese, his Lordship is invited to be present at the meetings ♦'of the Committee, whenever he may find it convenient, and " that the Chairman in communicating this resolution shall '* express, on. the part of the- Committee, the assurance that " it will always be most satisfactory to them to. receive the "^ benefit of his Lordship's opinion and information, at the " Board, on such matters as may be under discussion." Under the power given to the Lay Committee in the Con- stitution of the Church Society, they have added five new wembers to those appointed at the first meeting of the ;(li H ,.; ri M * fl • ' f. :;rii ^' I ]i'' It 'it' 16 9k>oiety, making the Committee consist of 24 members. Tha- following are the gentlemen who have been thus added : — The Hon W. H. Draper; Thomas W. Birchall, John O' Spragge, James G. Chewett, Thomas D. Harris, Esquires. They deeply regret to add that one of their number, the late John S. Baldwin, Esq., who had been nominated by the Society, has departed this life, leaving a vacancy in the Committee which it will be necessary for the Society to supply, on this occasion, by another appointment. In referring to their proceedings, since the confirmation of their Constitution in December last enabled them to act, the Lay Committee can take credit for little more than an anxious desire to promote the objects which they have in view, and for endeavours to lay the foundation of a structure which by God's help may be lasting, and which they trust may at no distant day afford to the pious ministers of our Church a stay and a shelter, and to the people of this exten- sive country such a provision for their religious instructioUv as shall not leave the care of their eternal interests to the chances of time, and to the caprices of men in each fleeting generation. i.-ir The objects which it is hoped to accomplish, to a greater or less extent, through the agency of the Lay Committee, were so distinctly stated in the proceedings of the Society at their first meeting in April 1842, as well as in the sugges- tions which led to its formation, that they need not be re- ferred to here, except for the sake of remarking that it will always be necessary for the friends of the Church to bear them distinctly in mind, in order to prevent the purposes of the Lay Committee from being confounded with those of the Society at large. . vi,- In promoting the general objects of the Church Society, which are sought to be advanced either through its Central Board, its District Associations or Parochial Committees, and which comprehend not one or two particular modes, but «very mode of dispensing aid to the religious wants of th« 17 Ui •people which piety and benevolence can suggest, the meto- T)er8 of the Lay Committee will gladly act in common with the other members of theChurch. They have, as individuals, observed with great satisfaction the prompt and general exertion by which, in almost every part of the Diocese, the intentions of the Society have been acted upon, and its objects advanced, under the energetic direction of the Lord Bishop, warmly and efficiently second- ed by his Clergy, and generously supported by the great body of the laity. For every contribution that can be received, either by continued pr occasional exertions of this •nature made through the agency of the Society and its local branches, there will be constantly and for ever pressing need, as there must ever be abundant objects of infinite value to be secured, connected with the spiritual welfare, the moral condition, and social happiness of the people ; objects which it can scarcely be expected will be adequately provided for in any country by the public arrangements of its govern- ment, and which, at all events are, in fact, not so provided for, but are in all countries left in a great measure depend- ent upon the bounty of individuals, and their sense of Chris- tian duty, not merely as an important, but as an indispensable resource. In these exertions of the Society, general as they are in their nature, their objects and their extent, and unrestricted indeed in any other manner than by the necessity of their being connected with the advancement, in some shape, of 'what we believe to be religious truth, the members of the Lay Committee hope not to be found backward in co-opera- ting. But as composing the Lay Committee, a distinct field of duty is marked out to them; and they believe they may ■render the most efficient service by confining themselves within it — their hope is that they may be instrumental in obtaining not suddenly, of course, but gradually, an adequate . and permanent support for the Bishopric — in securing to those who are now serving in the ministry either as rectors B* 11 !: ^ '■ 1 ' 1*'5 ill ' ..1 '■ i il 18 or missionaries a fixed and competent reward— and in es- tablishing the Church firmly, and as far as may be beyond the chance of accident, in every township, by providing for the erection within it of at least one Church, built of durable materials — with a parsonage house; and by collecting from all sources such an endowment as may ensure the Church being at all times served. These are the prominent points to which their attention is to be directed, though there are a few others to which they do not at present feel it neces- sary to advert. • . > It is obvious that in laying a foundation of a system of proceeding having these ends in view, the first point is to ascertain and to be enabled to bring before others the present actual condition of the Church in this Diocese; and the next is to examine into the means to which we can look for sup- plying what is defective. There are in this Diocese not less than 324 townships, of which it may be said that, with scarcely an exception, they are all more or less settled, and of which also, we believe, it may with equal truth be said, (considering the proportion which the members of the Church of England are found to bear in U{>per Canada to the whole population) that in all of them which are inhabited there are living some, at least, who belong to her communion. Each one of these town- ships embraces in general an area of from 60,000 to 70,000 acres; an extent of territory which in England, taking the average extent of its ecclesiastical divisions, would contain from twenty to thirty Parish Churches, and yet even there, the means of attending public worship are found to be so inadequately provided, that the necessity for increasing Church accommodation, in order to meet this want, is at this moment felt to be so pressing an exigency that it has been admitted to demand imperatively the care of the State, while it engages, perhaps, more than any other work of benevo- lence, the anxious and unrer 'tting exertions of Societies and of individuals. 19 It is quite true that the population of Upper Canada is yet inconsiderable as compared with that occupying the sanic> extent of land in Great Britain, but unless thousands are to be excluded from all opportunity of attending the service of their Church, a great number of Clergymen is nevertheless necessary from the manner in which the popu- lation is dispersed— and besides, the demand for exertion which will be produced by the fact of numbers alone will soon press upon us with fearful weight. To perceive this clearly, we need but turn to another portion of the United Kingdom — to Scotland, and consider attentively the follow- ing facts : — Scotland, including all its islands, its lakes and mountains, has an area of about 19,000,000 of acres. The 324 townships already laid out in Upper Canada, comprise at least 22,000,000 of acres, to say nothing of the large tracts which will in rapid succession be organized and added to our settlements. Of the 19,000,000 of acres in Scotland, it is estimated that 5,000,000 only are cultivated ; the rest are uncultivated lands, — not, as we may be sure, for want of people to occupy and improve them, but because they are in general not susceptible of cultivation, and have on that account remained waste for ages. Of how small a portion of our 324 townships can it be said that they are by nature unproductive? They wait only for the labour of those hands which the natural increase of population and the annual accession of emigrants is constantly and speedily supplying. What then may be the number of people in this Diocese before even another generation has passed away? Scotland now contains between 2^ and 3 millions of people. In the beginning of this century, her numbers were barely more than fifteen hundred thousand, and in 1 755 the public census shewed but 1,265,380, a population not greater, scarcely indeed so great, as that which now in^^nbits the United Province of Canada. So that this one Colony of British North America has, at this moment, as many people within her boundaries as Scotland, which has been for cen- li t n ^ 20 s :'i fit 44 is turies a kingdom renowned in history, contained within iht lifetim*^ of some who yet survive among us. And of the thirteen or fourteen hundred thousand souls, which compose the present population of Canada, more than five hundred thousand are to be found within this upper portion of it, a territory which, in the memory of many who are yet present to assist us by their benevolent exertions, contained scarcely more people than might have been found some ages ago in a fishing town in Scotland, and certainly not half so many as are now residing in several of the twenty districts into which Upper Canada alone is divided. These few conside- rations will shew to what a condition this country is advan- cing, and how rapidly. It is painful then to reflect that at this moment not more than about eighft/ of the three hundred and twenty-four townships in this Diocese are provided even so scantily with the ministrations of our Church, as to have one pastor where in England there would probably be more than twenty ; and that even where there is ona to be found, there is not that certain provision made for his support which can enable us to say that he is sure, when he departs, of being succeeded by another, or can even authorise us to hope that while he is devoting his life to the duties of religion, and the offices of charity, he is himself raised above the pressure of pain- fully straitened circumstances. i\, rr. In order to enable the Committee to exhibit the precise state of the Church in this Diocese, they have framed a series of questions to be answered in regard to each town- ship, in order that it may be made to appear clearly whether any provision exists within it for the support of the Church of England, and of what nature, and to what extent. Some few only of the Clergy have been yet called upon to procure these returns of the townships in their vicinity, but they will now be generally invited to do so; and it is hoped that in a short time the desired information may be furnished. The 4ew returns that have been obtained exhibit a view of thi a le t m 21 Churcb, as regards the number of its members, "trhich shews* the urgent necessity for exertion, and at the same time affords a very reasonable ground of hope that an exertion v^Ay be made \vhich ^ivill effect much. When the actual condition of the Church in each town- ship has been ascertained, the next point to consider is,, where we are to look for resources; and before wc make an appeal to the bounty of the fellow-members of our Church, in addition to those which have and will continue to b« addressed to then through the Society and its District Branches, it is but reasonable that we should ascertain what can be done in each township towards building up a proyi> slon for the Church with those public means of support which the Government has furnished. Our attention has been therefore turned to the state of what is called the Clergy Reserve Fund, and to the reserved lands yet undis- posed of, in which the united Church of England and Ire- land has now a certain and definite, though a very reduced interest. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese has kindly furnished the committee with whatever information he was possessed of in regard to these funds and lands. By far the most interesting consideration connected with this public provision is the measures which her Majesty's Government may determine to adopt in regard to such of the lands reserved for religious purposes as remain yet undisposed of. Circumstances to which it is painful to advert have rendered it impossible, for some months past, to press upon the con- sideration of the Executive Government of this Province any measures of so important and delicate a character as those which the friends of the CLurch of England, and probably ether religious bodies entitled to share in the pro- ceeds of the Clergy Reserves, may think it their duty to urge with the view of making the lands in question as productive as possible for the purposes which they art intended to serve. ti i ji fT ..M^s'^tiAir vH ,■ it> i^iO ilil ff 2? If <■■' r .V Bat we have, during this unavoidable suspension of pre*' eeeding, considered and discussed the subject, and are pre- pared to give whatever assistance may be in our power towards placing things upon the most just and desirable footing. In order that we might see clearly what tht Government could enable us to do in each township with the reserved lands yet remaining unsold, or rather with that portion of them in which the Church has an interest, we applied some time ugo for information of the number of acres of Clergy Reserves still undisposed of in each town- ship of Upper Canada, and we had the satisfaction of learning that the Government were about to direct correct lists to be* prepared and furnished, for their own information, and thai when these shall have been completed, copies will be sent to us. The Church Temporalities Act, passed in 1840, has- happily placed it now in the power of individuals to come- in aid of this public provision for the support of religion,, which must, under any measures that can be adopted, be extremely deficient, — by contributions in real or personal estate, which may, under the express sanction of that law^ be conveniently and safely invested in the Bishop and his suc- cessors, or in the incumbents of rectories or livings, upon such- trusts, connected with the Church, as the donors may desire* The Lay Committee is fully sensible that the security of investments, and the most convenient and effectual mode of conveying real property, so as to meet the terms of the- statute, and promote the welfare and honour o£ the Churchy are points most important and necessary to be attended to by the Church Society. They have not failed to give their anxious attention to them, and are prepared to submit the result of their consideration to the Society at the next meet- ing of the Central Board. *; There is yet to be adverted to another subject oonnectedr with the Church, which is most interesting to all who desir« her welfare, and who respect her discipline and can appre- eiate her ordinances. We refer to the continued want of. 23 anj luitable provision fur tlu* support of the bishopric, and for the endowment u( the caDiedrnl and such institutions as ought to be attached to it. It is impossible to suppose that it can, in any quarter, be thonplit reasonable or just that the provision which it has been found necessary to make fur the same purpose in otiier Colonies of the Crown should not b« made for the bishopric of Toronto. There can be no ques- tion except as to the source from whence the fund shall be derived; for if we look either to the great extent of the diocese, the number of Clergymen even now doing duty in it, the pressing culls for additional exertion in every quarter, the number of members of the Church whose spiritual wants are to be provided for, and the laborious and highly respon- sible duties which are in consequence required from the Diocesan, we must see that there can be none of the colonial dominions of the Crown in which the claim to something like an adequate provision can be stronger. It may be questioned, indeed, whether there is any in which the claim is so strong. We believe also that it will be acknowledged by all who have been under the pastoral care of the present venerated Bishop, that the unsparing exertion, the ability and zeal with which the duties have been discharged, have greatly strengthened, if that were possible, the claim to a due provision for the maintenance of his high and sacred office, upon every principle of right and justice. In the mean time year after year is suffered to elapse, while no measures have been taken for relieving this diocese from the anomalous situation of having at its head a Bishop whose incessant and important public duties have to be per- formed at his own charge. We persuade ourselves, that "whatever representations we may think it just, under the circamstances, to make, will be warmly and generally seconded by the members of our Church, and we anticipate the kindly, and we trust, the effectual, co-operation of the Government in aid of a measure which must be felt to b« not less important than just. J. B. RoBiNsoy, Chairman. Toronto, June 3, 1843. I! . « I 1 ' . n ■I? f . 1*1 » nU-'i, APPENDIX. ' TTflE CONSTITUTION OF THE LAY COMMITTEE. tUUi'.im run ■■'!' '--h •n'i * 1st.

Any order upon the Treasurer signed by the Chairman and countersigned by the Secretary of the Committee, shall be a sufficient authority for the payment of charges incident to the business of the Committee. The understood objects of the Committee being to collect and provide funds for the support of the Church and its ministers, and not to distribute or appropriate such funds, it is only necessary to take care that due caution be used in investing for the benefit of the Church whatever may be gathered by the exertions of the Committee; and to this end it is proposed that no investment be made in any secu- rity, public or private, and no conveyance of land or other property taken except in accordance with measures previous- ly agreed upon by a resolution of the Lay Committee — and C ;H ■ < ■.:! i^ n I f ■ % 111 W k % ^1 ^i m H^^\ M that no rach resolntion shall pass except when nine m«nben of the Committee shall be present, nor at any other than a stated meeting, or at a special meeting called for that express purpose by a written notice to the members of the Commit- tee, which shall state the object — And no such resolution shall be acted upon, until it has been commuuicated to the Lord Bishop, and his concurrence signified. On the motion of the Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Robinson^ seconded by Mr. , Resolved— That Thomas Baines, Esquire, be appointed a Member of the Lay Committee, in the room of the late John S. Baldwin, Esq. On the motion of the Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Robinson, seconded by the Hon Mr. Vice Chancellor Jameson, Resolved — That the members of the Church Society of the Diocese cf Toronto have perceived with great regret the attempt lately made in England to disparage the character and impair the resources of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. That they have every reason to be satisfied with the dis» cretion and impartiality exercised by the Venerable Society in the selection of Missionaries for this Diocese, and most thankfully receive its official declaration, that '* the greatest "care is taken to select from among the candidates for ** Missionary employment those only who, on credible tes- ** timony, are recommeoded to the Society as men sincerely " attached to the Church of England, its doctrine and disci- **pline," and that it "recognizes no theological tests of ** fitness for its service other than those which are provided ** in our Liturgy and Homilies." That the Church in this Diocese owes its first existence, and, in a very great degree, its continued sostentation and 27 if present growth, to the exhaostless bounty and fostering care of the Venerable Society, and that any dintinution of its annual resources, or even the circumstance of its income standing still, and failing to advance with the advancing wants of the Church, would be one of the most serious injuries that could be inflicted upon the Christian Religion in this Diocese. That the Secretary do transmit a copy of this Resolution to the Venerable Society in England. On the motion of the Rev. T. B. Fuller, seconded by Rev. J. G. Geddes, Resolved — That the words " on the first Wednesday ^^^ and the words " in a county town of the same" in the ninth clause of the printed Constitution, be omitted, and that the clause do hereafter stand thus: " A General Meeting of each Branch District Association " shall be held in January in each year, at any time and " place which may be agreed upon at a previous Quarterly *' Meeting of the Committee of Management; and Quarterly " Meetings," &c. On the motion of the Rev. H. Scaddino, seconded by the Rev. T. B. Fuller, Resolved — That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the OfBicers of the Society, for their services during the past year. It was then moved that the Lord Bishop do leave the Chair, and, On the motion of the Rev. F. Evans, seconded by the Rev. J. Shortt, Resolved — That the thanks of this meeting be respectfully offered to the Lord Bishop of Toronto, for his dignified conduct in the Chair.
