There is still wide-spread desecration of the Holy Day. Passenger, freight, and excursion trains continue to run. There me excursions by steam-boats and stage.s ; saloons, cigar and fruit stands, and confectioneiy shops are open ; various games are played ; newspapers nvi' published ; freight is landed ; Hshing and hunting parties are organized — all regardless of the clain)S of the Word of God, or the feelings of the Uhristian people in the land. We deeply deplore the fact that our Legislature has not passed any crt'ective laws by which this open and continuous profanation of the Sab- liaih-doy may be prevented, and we hereby submit for adoption by this Conference the following resolutions : 1. That a committee, consisting of the ministers of Vancouver, East \'ancouver, and New Westminister, be appointed, to draft a petition f r liroulation among our people throughout the Province, setting forth our views as a Church in reference to the nature and observance of the day, and petitioning for direct legislation on the matter at the next session of the Local Legislature. 2. That a sermon be preached on this subject by all our ministers in tliis Conference during the month of June. 3. That special attention be given to the training of our children in the proper observance of the day, and that we supply them with 'sound religious literature, bearing on this important subject. 4. That as the social visiting practised in many places on the Lord's Day is a great evil, we recommed that a clause be inserted in the Pastoral Addresses calling the attention of our people to it. 5. That the holding of public funerals on this day, so seriously inter- fering with the stated means of grace, be discouraged among us, except in cases where interment cannot be postponed. (5. That we bear in mind the Divine injunction, " Remember the Sab- '>ath-day, to keep it holy ; " and that we seek to secure united action on the part of all the Churches of this Province in securing the better ot)servance of the Lord's Day. t i? cs m • •' J. 111.

Your Committee beg to report that the present state of the work of our Church is such as to awaken devout gratitude to the Great Head of tile Church for the clear tokens of His continued presence, and for the stt'ady progress in al) departments of the work. Wo are glad to record an increase of 458 to the membership of the Church, as well as to note a VI ly gratifying advance in the Missionary contributions. We thank God that, as our people increase in numbers the spirit of their Christian liber- ality grows proportionately, and we trust that during the coming year we ii'v be able to tabulate greater results than ever before.

Also, that there has Ijet-n manifested ;in increased interest in the Sabbath-school literature of our Church. 3. We regret that so small a precentage of the scholars are instructed in the MethodijJ; Catechism. 4. VV; loplore the fact that, according to the statistical table herewith submitted, t'lere must be many of our people scattered throughout the bounds of the Conference whose children have no SaV>bath-8chool ; for while the number of preaching places is 99, there are only 38 schools in operation. 5.

Showers of blessings have been experienced on nearly all our Circuits and Missions, and we gratefully record to the honor and praise of Him whose we are and whom we serve, an increase of 449 to the membership of our Church during the past year. We are also glad to note an increase of !?784 in the Missionary contributions of the Church, as well as a very gratifying advance in all other Connexional Funds. Death has entered our ranks and the Rev. R. B. Hemlaw, esteemed for his work's sake, has passed to rest and r vard. In the midst of our sorrow we cannot but rejoice in the contemplation of his faithful life, earnest toil, and peaceful death. To his sorrowing widow we extend our heart-felt sympathies. We are glad to learn that every department of our H ^bbath-school work is in a prosperous condition, and heartily com- mend to your prayers and practical sympathy these nurseries of tlie C'iiurch. Our Sustentation Fund which we had hoped would have afforded material relief to some of our brethi'en laboring on domestic Mission fields lias not fully met our e.xpectations, and as a consequence, many of our ministers with their families still suffer serious financial euiburrasment. We again commend this very importtftit Fund to your Christian liberality. In connection with our Missionary interests, we desire to call your attention to the noble work being done by the Woman's Missionary Society. During the past year these consecrated women have, by their self-sacrifice and devotion, added thousands of dollars to the missionary resources of the Church. At present, only one auxiliary, that of Victoria, exists within the bounds of the Conference. We strongly advise that wherever it is at all possible, auxiliaries be organized. As a Church, we are strongly pledged to the cause of Temperance reform, and we earnestly desire that in this, as well as in all other move- •M] MINTTK.S OF THE IIKITI.SH ('OM'MlllA [1.S.S9 incuts iirt'i'cting the social and moral well-being of the people, you will iilwftvs use your inlluence and oust your vot) upon t\w side of truth and ri;,'lit.
