ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1861. 9 « The Oentral Board, in presenting their twentieth Report to the Annual Meeting of the Chnrch Society, feel called upon to render thanks to Almighty Gk)d for the measure of suooesa that has thus far attended their humble efforts. Our Society, yet in its infancy and but in the beginnings of its woric, is thankful that a beginning has been made, and we trust on right principles and on lasting foundations. Our very name, the Church Society, suggests many pleasing thoughts, many comfortable reflections. There is something suggestiye of high and holy privileges in the word Society. What thought! of union and harmony and peace does it inspire. It suggests \kaX however widely scattered, how differently soever situated, the members of the Church in this poor Diocese should realize that they are emphatically one family. And that word family, with the sweet influenees that cluster around it, may well remind us that however scattered and isolated we may be in our several homes, the Religion of Jesus Christ has drawn us into the most blessed of all Societies, — the Church of the Living Qod ; — that it has brought us whatever of happiness, or joy, or stability we possess, and that we should so labor for its establishment and upbuilding, and for the sending forth and propagating the blessed Oospel in and through the Church, until it shall illumine every dark comer of the Province, become the centre of unity, and the bond of peace in every neighborhood, the joy of every fireside, the precious boon of every hearth throughout the land. We come then at once to look over the Md entrusted to our care,! t^e. work done, itbe work to.be done, the mento do it, and the means by which thiey are to be sustained. 8 We forget not our Loxd'a words when He says " The field is the world." And, however much we may desire to go into all the world — to enter upon the foreign as well as the domestic fiold — we cannot but think that ours is now, and will remain for sometime longer, the home field. But even this how vast it is, how varied, how sterile, how much like a wilderness in all its aspects. True, there are patches of civilization and culture along our principal River, on our sea-coast and our thorough-fares in the interior ; but when we leave these isolated spotb, in almost any direction, we plunge into waste howling wildernesses. So little of these has been overcome and subdued that they approach within sight and sound of all our Missions. How' much remains to be reclaimed from the dominion of wild beasts, and from lonely dreary solitudes I If we take our stand upon the eastern edges of the province, upon some treeless headland on the coast of Labrador, where moss only grows, or on some iron- bound island of the Magdalen group, or on the majestic rooks which dose in the fathomless waters of the Saguenay, or that frown over the Bays of Ganp^ and Ohaleurs, — we say if the christian observer were to take his stand on any of these points and look westward over 800 miles that intervene between these and the western limits of the Diocese : — or if he should take his stand any where on the line which separates from our neighbours on the south, and were to look northward, away over the thousand miles, most of which is yet an unbroken, untravelled wilderness, and reflects that this wilderness, vast and dark and forbidding as it is,* is yet destined to be the homes of our race and countrymen, b yet to be reduced to the obedience and faith of Christ, his * Only because it is a wilderness. Much of the soil is as fertile as an in the West, and vast tracts can be purchased for a shilling an acre. Surely such a country ought to be most inviting to Emigrants or to Oomnunities of such. Let them come. They will be most welceme. N. heart may vieW sink witiiin him, and he may stand appalled at the magnitude of the work. But still the true soldier of the cross may take courage when he rememhers whose servant and sworn liegeman he is, may gather confidence and hope when he thinks of his Captain, and looks up to the glorious banner that waves over his head. As he looks at this symbol of our holy Religion — the blood-red Cross — he will think of Him who came to die upon it " for us men iand for our salvation." He will recollect our Lord's pro- mise, ** Lo ! I am with you always to the end of the world," and that before these words of cheer and hope had been uttered the command had been given — " Go ... preach the Gospel." As to the meu who are to realize this promise, and to do this work, it may be observed that it is only as they go, and as they preach, tliat they may hope to receive the blessing and accomplish their task. The field, the post, then, is ours because we are placed in it. It may sometimes seem like a desperate enterprise but we may not shrink from it. God in His mercy will raise up men who will come to our aid, and take our places when we fall. And so the blessed work goes on, until " the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ." The work then is the same, and the men are virtually the same, because, though their individual names and persons may be different, yet their standards, their organization, their corporate character remain the same. The field, the work being so vast and ever increasing, it is manifest that the two great wants are men and means. We must have men to fill up the ranks and to occupy new posts until the whole has been brought under allegiance to Christ. We must have means to sustain these men and provide for them all that is needed. Where are these means to come from ? Alas '. This question of means is the great fjuestion of our day. But, B 10 did our Lord's aervanta recognise His olaims upon them — ^apon their time, their service, their subatanoe, the labour of their hands, the produce of their fields, their flocks, their fisheries, their merchandize, — there would be no lack of means. But Christians, many of them at least, do not readily recognize the just claims which their Lord and Master has upon them. Hence they have to be stirred up to the fulfilment of their obligations. Hence the need of moving appeals to provoke them to love and good works, for it has come to be believed that the collections, the gatherings of funds, will not be very successful without them. These appeals, then, are as old as the times of St. Paul, and have many scriptural wanants. But even this Apostle could show " a more excellent way." He taught his converts to lay by them in store as God had prospered them. He taught them to give on principle, religiously and systematically ; to set apart at certain times, a certain measure of their gains or income as holy unto the Lord, to bo used for the promotion of His cause, the exten- sion of His Kingdom. And this recommendation of St. Paul can never become obsolete. The practice of it, it is humbly conceived, is just what is needed in our day. The Missionary operations of the Society have continued, during the past year, to demand a large share of the atten- tion and efforts of the Board. So exclusively have the efforts of the Board tended in this direction, that they have con- sidered it necessary to announce publicly that no reliance must be placed on their ability to make hereafter the grants generally looked for for Church building, although this is one of the special objects of the Society's incorporation. Since their last Beport was rendered, an additional Mission has been opened of which the head-quarters are at Acton, a place of rapidly increasing importance, and where a constant accession to the population is caused by the mining operations carried on in the immediate neighborhood. The stations of S 11 South Durham and Metcalfe Hill, are also served by the Missionary at Acton, forming part of his charge. The Rev. Robert Mitchell was appointed to this Mission in March last, but resigned it after having held it three months. In August he was succeeded by the Rev. A. C. Walshe, who still continues to labour there. Extracts from the Journals of these and other Missionaries — ten in all — will be published with the Report. Mr. A. Taylor, a Lay-Reader resident in the Diocese of Montreal, has also been employed in the same capacity under the auspices of this Society at Acton, on alternate Sundays. A large number of the Con- gregation of Metcalfe Hill, being also resident within that Diocese, the Montreal Church Society has contributed $50 per annum towards the stipend of your Missionary. The Mission of Barford and Hereford, remained in the charge of the Reverend J. P. Richmond, whose appointment to it was announced in the last Report, until September last, when he yielded to a call made upon him to devote himself to the work of Christ on the rugged coast of Labrador, wluch had been recently visited by the Lord Rishop. The cir- cumstances under which he accepted the charge, involving self-denial of a peculiar kind, and the nature of his duties in the discharge of it, are such as call for the hearty symfllhy of the members of the Church, and their earnest prayers on his behalf, which were specially solicited by the Bishop in an- nouncing to the Board his removal from Barford. At Barford he was succeeded by the Rev. Chas. Roberts, who had been previously employed by the Society for five months as a Lay- Rcador at Bourg-Louis, to which place he has at the begin* ning of the present year removed as Assistant to the Rev. A. H. Pearse. The Rev. L. C. Wurtele, who for some time past had rendered such services in destitute settlements within the District of St. Francis, as. he was able to do, consistently with his duties as a teacher in the Junior Department of 12 Bishop's College, Lennozville, having reatgned hia post in ooanection with that institution, has assumed the charge vacated by Mr. Roberts. He had continued to devote a certain number of Sundays to the work of the Society until the close of the year 1861. Owing to the increase of the Missions of the Society the number of unsupplied places is so much reduced, that only two, Brompton and Hardwood Hill, seem to have any pressing claim for its assistance, and these, it has been arranged, that the Society's Missionary at Dan- ville, (the Rev. M. Fothergill,) shall, for the present year, supply at stated intervals. The progress of the Missions of the Society was deemed to be a matter of so much interest as to call for the publication in an occasional paper, of a letter addressed to the Board by the Lord Bishop, containing an account of his visit last winter to the St. Francis Missions. The Society has thus three fixed Missions, Danville, Bar- ford and Acton, within the district of St. Francis, besides two in the District of Gaspe, and it is a subject of great thankfulness to be able to believe that the Divine blessing has rested on its labors, wherever they have been carried. In connection with Missionary operations your Board have to anjiounoe that the Society for the Propagation of the Gos- pel having entrusted to the Synod of the Diocese the admin- istration of its Annual grant for Missionary purposes, that body has thought it desirable to transfer the management of it to this Society. Committees have been appointed by the Synod and the Society to confer on the terms upon which an agreement might be come to between the two bodies, and they have recommended the amalgamation of the funds derived from the Society for the Propagation of the Gk>spel, with the Mission Fund of the Church Society, and the appointment of a Diocesan Board for the administration of the joint ftind. A by-law for this purpose is before the Society, and will, in • • > t m. 4 13 • • > t 4 all probability be finally disposed of immediately after the next meeting of the Synod, and the action to be taken by that body on the subject. It is proposed to include among the duties of this Board the object which the Central Board have much at heart, of taking measures for increasing the stipends of the clergy now doing duty in the Diocese. The Central Board regret to be obliged to report that their efforts in this direction have not been so successful during the past year as had been hoped. The Committee appointed to surest the steps to be taken for raising three-fourths of the sum of £452 13s. 4d, mentioned in the last Report as required for the purpose of bringing the incomes of the clergy up to $600 per annum, in order to enable the Society to avail itself of the conditional offer of the Lord Bishop to contribute the remaining fourth, reported that in their opinion $800 per annum should be raised in Quebec, and the balance in other parts of the Diocese. A good beginning was made in this city, and the acting Secre- tary visited most of the Missions in the districts of Quebec and St. Francis, in the early part of the year, for the purpose of bringing the subject before the members of the Church generally. But neither in Quebec nor elsewhere has the necessary amount been received, and the Board, for the year 1861, has been obliged to renew the system of grants of $40 to meet a like sum from the people, of whioh several clergy- men have been enabled by their congr^ations to avail them- selves. In the department of Education the Board have continued their operations under more systematic management than heretofore. The Special Committee has been entrusted with an annual sum of $300 for this department of the Society's work, and they have reported an expenditure of $272. The Depository Committee exhibits a return of Bibles sold, 87 ; ditto, given gratuitously 25 ; Testaments sold, 40, given u •\ 18 ; prayer books sold 225, ditto given or sold at rednecd rates, 105 ; other books sold, $242.50 ; trasts to tfae value of $47.48 sold ; books and tracts given away, to the value of $45. Total amount of sales $302. Two importations of books, costing about £85 sterling, have been made during the past year, while it is purposed to make another as soon as direct navigation is opened in the spring. The sum of £6 6s. sterling stands to our credit on the books of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, while $200.54 belonging to the Depository Fund are in the hands of the Treasurer. Altogether this depart- ment of our work is believed to be in a healthy condition and to be doing good service in the cause of Ohristand his Church. For causes stated in the earlier part of this Report, but f^w grants have been made to Churches and Parsonages. The Board have to record the loss to the Society by re- moval from the Province of its late patron Sir Edmund Walker Head, Bart., who, while holding the office of Governor General over this part of the Dominions of our Sovereign, was a constant and liberal contributor to the Funds of the Society. In connection with this announcement also, the Board have great pleasure in informing the Society that his Excel- lency Lord Monck has kindly consented to become the Patron of the Society, for which his Excellency is entitled to its thankf), which are hereby respectfully tendered. In accordance with a resolution adopted in the early part of last year, the services of the Reverend J. L. Gay have been secured as Secretary and Travelling Agent of the Chnroh Society, who is to devote his whole time to the work of the Sboiety. In this capacity he has already visited all the parishes or Missions in the Gasp^ District, as well as those of New Liverpool, Pointe Levi, Three Rivers and Kingsey, with some measure of suooess. He expects to continue the tamt sort of wo^ during th^ winter and gpring, when he <» -' '• •s M. 4 k- 4 4 ' <>• J < > •- t « ■' ' 1 1 U_ — : 1ft hopes to yiait all the remaining Miuions, and if possible to reach every family belonging to our communion throughout the Diocese. The Board take pleasure in informing the Society that the Rev. G. V. Housman, being about to visit England, they have appointed that gentleman in conjunction with the Rev. Dr. Mackie, a Deputation to bring the claims of the Church in this Diocese before the members of the Church at home. THE INCOME FOR THE YEAR 1861.

TO Mt Lord Bishop, I have to Report to the Central Board the facts and observations resulting from my late visit to the Gasp^ District. I left Quebec in the Lady Head, on Tuesday, the 1st of October, and proceeded immediately to Paspebiao, where I arrived on Thursday evening, the 3rd. I found at the landing, the Reverend Geo. Milne, who with the utmost hospitality took me to his house, which was my head.* quarters, during the week that I staid in the neighborhood. On the next morning the Reverend Mr. Milne kindly took me to the residence of the Reverend Mr. Lyster, near Port Daniel. In the afternoon of that day, service was held at the Port Daniel school house, by the Reverend Mr. Lyster and after the service, a sermon or address was delivered by myself to about twenty-five people. They seemed greatly interested for the Church Society ; owing to the fewness of persons present, it was not thought expedient to take up a h ^ ^ l» colleotion or oommence a subsoription, but notice wu given by the Reverend Mr. Lyster, of his intention to do both on the following Sunday. I afterwards learned that owing to a severe rain storm that prevailed on that day the Reverend Mr. Lyster did not reach that place of worship, but I had his promise that he would certainly bring the cause of the Society before the people of Port Daniel, and he hoped with considerable success, as it was one of his best Missions. On the next day (Saturday the 5th,) service was hold by Mr. Lyster, in the morning, at the Shigouac School-house, and in the afternoon, in that of Hopetown, at both of which places I delivered an address iu favour of the Church Society at Shigouac to 37 persons, of whom 36 subscribed $25.85: and at Hopetown to 24 persons, of whom 23 subscribed, 017.75. On the next day (Sunday the 6th,) I was with the Rev. Mr. Milne, at New Carlisle and Paspebiac, at both of which places after service by the Reverend Mr. Milne, I preached in behalf of the Church Society, and collections were taken up, amounting to $24.30. But owing to the rain, the Congre- gation was small, say from 25 to 30 persons, at each place. As it was Communion Sunday at Now Carlisle, no subsoription was then attempted, but a meeting was appointed for the next Tuesday afternoon in the Church ; but then too it rained and our congregation was small ; but they appeared much interested, for nearly every one present remained, and at the close of the meeting became a subscriber. Such too was the case at the Paspebiac Church on Sunday afternoon, where, after regular service by the incumbent, and an address by your Secretary, the whole congregation remained reverently and gave in their names as annual subscribers. Nothwith standing the unfavorable state of the weather, it was cheering to see the earnestness and devotion the people manifested, most of them trudging through the deep mud and drenching 20 rain. The results at these two places, beside the collection of $24.30, was a subscription of 039 at Now Carlisle, and of $24.28 at Paspobiac. On Thursday night, I enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. Felix Briard, the Ohief Agent of the fishing establishment of Messrs. Robin, at Paspebiac. This was the first fishing ostablishmont that I had seen, and it most favorably impressed me with its importance to us in our Church work. A very large amount of capital, and nearly the whole population along the coast, and a large number of persons always cm- ployed at Hca either in catching fish or in conveying them to distant markets, show the importance of this and similar concerns scattered around the coast and on the Islands in the Gulf. If the wealth and infiuenco they possess should be sanctified by the Gospel, for the salvation of the many thou- sands of men employed by them, then would they be valuable auxiliaries in our work. On Friday morning the 11th, I again embarked in the Lady Head, and came to Gaspd Basin, where I arrived just two hours too late for a meeting which the Rev. Mr. Dela- mare, had called for me there. Saturday and Sunday fol- lowing, the 12th and 13th, were days of such heavy and incessant rains that nothing could be done. On Sunday we did succeed in getting into the Church, where after service by the incumbent, I preached to a dozen persons. On Mon- day morning the 14th, I started with the mail courier, for Point Peter and Malbaie, where I arrived in time to share a dinner with the Rev. Mr. DeMouilpied, and his interesting family. That afternoon and evening, was spent in company with Mr. DeMouilpied, in visiting the few families and in- dividuals residing at the Point, belonging to our communion It was very muddy and inclement, and it was with the utmost difficulty we could make our way, but we received everywhere a cordial welcome. / \ 21 / \ 4 *' / On the next day, the t5th, we mot a snmll congregation in the Church at Malhaie, to wuom I mado an Address, and fVom whom I received subscriptions amounting to $14.50. The Missionary hero led me to expect that it would be con- siderably increased. It might I think be doubled. In justice however to the people at Malbaie, it must be stated that they are engaged upon a Parsonage, which when finished will be a oonfortablo and commodious dwelling for their minister. Just the shell of the house seemed to be up ; none of the interior work done. If tho work be prosecuted it may be habitable by spring. The Missionary here seemed to bo much discouraged, perhaps too much so. But it is a hard field, and the people do not seem to appreciate their privileges as they ought. In tho afternoon I was conveyed by the Rev. Mr. DeMouil- pied, to the ferry at the Bar-a-choir, where he left me. On the other side, I was met by young Mr. Vibert, who con- veyed me to the corner of the Beach, and from thence another kind friend, Mr. Mabe, conveyed me to Pero^, where we arrived late at night. On the next day (Wednesday the 16th,) in company with the Rev. Mr. Crosse, and a member of his family, J went to the Parsonage and Church at Capo Cove. Here (not- withstanding due notice of the meeting had been given) we met only three persons who subscribed $2.80. These persons however took lists and promised to exert themselves in the Mission, which I was told was one of the best on the coast. They have a very comfortable and commodious new Parsonage house nearly completed here, $50 dollars more would perhaps finish it, and make it habitable. I am sorry to say that, for some cause or other the state of this Mission does not seem to be a healthy one. In the afternoon we returned to Perc^, where, in one of the rooms belonging to the Messrs. Robin's establishment, we held a meeting and your Secretary ^ deliyored an address. At the close of that meeHng a sub- scription was started which was liberally, I believe unanimous- ly, responded to. The result was $44-65 from 31 persons, all paid up. A fine village Church is nearly completed here, at a cost of something like $2000. They hope to have it con- secrated by your Lordship in the Spring. The next two days were spent in waiting for the steamer, upon which I failed to embark owing to the tempestuous seas and heavy surf which prevented boats reaching her. I had therefore to retrace my steps by land as well as I could to Sandy Beach and Gasp^ Basin. By the aid of a good friend, I was conveyed again through the Perc^ mountains to the Bar-a-choir, where I found a cart which helped me to Douglastown, and from that point I walked to Sandy Beach. The morning of the next day, (Sunday the 20th,) I was with the worthy incumbent the Kev. Mr. Ker. On this day too it was raining, and the congregation was small. But they nearly all remained after service, and gave their names, some 30 or more, for 042,75. The Rev. Mr. Ker gave me every assurance that he would prosecute the matter, and led mc to hope that the amount subscribed, would be more than doubled. I think, in this well-to-do Mission, it might easily be trebled. , However, I had to leave it and hurry on to the South West Church at Gaspd Basin, where, owing to delay in crossing at the ferry, I did not arrive until Mr. Delamare, had commenced his seimon. He abruptly closed, and called me to the pulpit, from which, I delivered an Address. The next three days were spent in going from house to house in Mr. Delamare's Mission. The result was that from 56 per- sons, whom we saw, we obtained subscriptions amounting to $7?.17 of which $60 was paid. After all, I was told that I did not see more than half of the people here. But whether any more will be subscribed this year, I cannot say. / \ 4 ^ 23 / % A 4 I visited two of Mr. Delamare's sohools which seemed to be doing well, averaging between them, an attendance of about 75 scholars. While waiting for the Steamer, a service was held at Gaspd Basin, where I preached. On the 25th, I again embarked on the steamer Lady Head, which brought me to Quebec, where I arrived on Sunday the 27th, with a grateful sense of God's great mercies. Your Lordship's faithful servant, J. L. GAY. To the Ht. Bev. the Lord Bishop. Quebec, November 1, 1861. FROM THE MISSIONARY AT MALBAIE. Point Peter, Malbaie, 23rd Deer., 1861. Rev. and Dear Sir, — In reviewing my labours of the past year, I have much cause for joy and sadness. I acknowledge the good hand of God upon me, who has spared me from day to day, and has given me strength to labour in some way in His vineyard. During this year there have been in this Mission of Mal- baie, 15 Baptisms, 5 Marriages, and 12 Burials. There was an unusual amount of sickness, as well as among the new settlers, eight of whom I buried a little time after their arrival from Norway. These strangers were visit- ed, although I could only make myself understood by signs, but they will have reason to be grateful to the Society that their Missionary was on the spot, and went in among them. In'^iheir time of trial they must have received a favorable impression of this branch of the Catholic Church, and I trust they will not forget as they become better instructed in our language, to join with us in Divine Worship. / 24 II I During the year, I have held a morning Service at Mal- baie, and at an outpost of the Mission when a second service was not held in the afternoon. I have also kept my monthly appointment at the corner of the Beach when the roads were practicable. There are only a few Protestant families who are willii.i; to have Sunday wholly given to them, and they all help to support the Church. I hope during this winter to go among the scattered fami- lies, for the purpose of holding services, &c., if only means for travelling can be obtained. Many seldom come to church who would otherwise attend a service in their neighborhood, and although the Church is the proper place to preach the Word in, and all meet there when the private services of the Church are needed by them, yet the scattered families of my Mission would seldom hear the Word of God unless it were carried into their midst. I have often visited the sick and the dying. These visits have raised my desponding spirits, at a time when so much levity existed among us, and a total unconcern about divine things was apparent in many. Some good may thus be ac- complished in visiting the house of affliction. Not that I attach much importance to that outward repentance which the fear of the moment calls into existence in those who were all their life-time enemies to piety and to the Church. But these visits are otherwise useful to the bystanders who are then easily impressed by those scenes of death, and of the importance of being ready when their time comes. Another means of doing good is the distribution of tracts in both languages. They are returned when read and dis- tributed in other families. A small supply of Danish tracts was sent to me for distribution among the Norwegians. J9 . 25 ■*4 French services have been held from time to ti>ne in the Church, but only a few attend when the services arc given out before hand. Fifteen dollars have been contributed for the Church Society, and sent to the Treasurer. A list of contributors towards the suppoH of a resident Clergyman, amounting to about £45, was shewn to me when I arrived here. Bat that list was incorrect, or at least many names for six. eight or fifteen shillings, have yet never been paid, and there are many poor families in this. Mission who cannot do anything for the Church. Last year about £36 were col- lected, jet the deficiency was made up from other sources, and services were received from a few, which entitled me to the gratuity. The Congregation is not able to pay quarterly. They promised to pay semi-yearly at Easter and in the fall, when the people brought in their fish to sell. This was inconvenient to us, yet we complied through necessity, but we have been greatly disappointed. A.nd this year the Mission is £25 deficient. This is surely very discouraging to us, after our kind offices to many, and especially as we have to pay for house-rent and fire^wood in part, while we have no advantage arising from glebe. I remain, my dear Brother, Faithfully yours in the Lord, J. DeMOUILPIED, Missionary. REPORT OF THE MISSION OF DANVILLE AND PARTS ADJACENT, FOR THE YEAR ENDING 3l8T DECEMBER, 1861. It is with much pleasure that I am able to report favorably of the Mission placed under my charge. During the past year the Lord Bishop confirmed in both stations, when forty- 26 eiwht Candidates were presented, thirty-eight from Danville, and eighteen from Tingwick, many of whom have since communicated. Seven adult persons, and twenty children have been admitted to the Holy Sacrament of Baptism. Divine service has been held regularly in both stations, and the Congregations have been fair ; I would especially men- tion the very regular attendance in the Tingwick Mission, and the devout behaviour of the worshippers. In the Dan- ville Mission, tho people are more scs^itered, which causes, at certain seasons of the year, much irregularity in attendance. The Society will be glad to learn that in consequgace of a very munificent gift of the new windows by the Rev. Chas. Hamilton, M. A., and the members of St. Peter's Chapel, Quebec, we have been enabled to use a portion of the Church since last August. Several nice open seats have been placed in it by various members of the Congregation^ and I would fain hope that the Parishioners take a warm in- terest in their unfinished House of prayer. We are now making an exertion to reduce the debt in order to draw the liberal grant of $200 from the Society. I feel confident that once free from debt, much more would be done towards its completion by members of the Congregation. It was my intention at one time to open a subscription list for the Church Society, but in consequence of heavy local requirements I deemed it prudent to wait for another year. We have, however, done something in the way of Sermon-Collections, as will be seen from the Treasurer's Report. While speaking of money matters, I beg to state that the Deputation lately sent among us, did much good towards leading the people to make up the Missionary's stipend, and I trust that the very excellent sermons prenohed here by the Rev. Secretary, will have for ever instilled into the hearts of my people the duty ci uiving liberally for the support of the Gospel. I have now no doubt that the £50 ^\ Hi *^' '"^il 07 per anniun, \irill be duly paid, and iu addition to that, the offertory Collections are to be devoted to the Missionary's use. I would also mention that I have just received a very handsome present of iire-wood, which, with other presents enables me to receive the grant irom the Church Society. Among removals from the Mission, by death, I have to record the loss of one very excellent man who was a most con- stant attendant on all the services of the Church. He fell asleep in Jesus, early in last January. Soon after that, a family who had settled iu from Kildare, returned to that place ; with the above exceptions we have lost none. I cannot close my Keport, without expressing my most hearty thanks to the members of the Central Board, for their kindness in deputing two of their body, and their Secretary, to visit this mission with a view to placing its monetary matters on a more firm basis. M. MONKHOUSE FOTHERGILL, Missionary. I, PROM THE MISSIONARY AT PORT DANIEL, HOPETOWN AND SHIGOUAC. Port Danibl, Baie des Chaleurs, C. E., Deer. 12, 1861. To the Revd. J. L. Gay, Secretary to the Church Society, Revd. and Dear Sir, — It becomes my duty once more to report upon the state of this Mission, although no change particularly worthy of notice has taken place during the past year. The congregations consisting exclusively of families settled in the place do not vary much, their attendance at public worship continuing on the whole regular and satisfactory. I— I H^IB 28 Our Ohuroh ' at Port Daniel has not progreesed so quickly as I anticipated ; the contributions of some of the Church- people towards its erection have been extremely meagre, and some have given nothing at all. I have made many attempts to impress t. ym with the necessity of liberality in so good a cause, but my words have been in vain. A few, however, have, I rejoice to say, done all that could be expected, and owing to their endeavors as well as to the Lord Bishop's private liberality and the kindness of a few friends, the shell of the building has been at length completed. We have now in hands a grant from the Society for Pro- moting Christian Knowledge, and we expect, with God's ''■ lessing, to be able to make use of the Church in the course ot a few weeks. I have much pleasure in mentioning the kindness of the firms of Messrs. Bobin & Co., and LeBou- tillier Bros., the former made us a present of glass and nails sufficient for the Church, and the latter, paint and some other requisites. The usual annual appeals for the Society were made by me this year with average results, and the visit and addresses of the Revd. Secretary stimulated many to increased exertions in behalf of the Society, and were, I am persuaded, produc- tive of much good. A site having lately been presented by Mr. D. ^iason of this place, he and some other zealous Churchmeu Iieie and at Shigouac, endeavored to induce their fellow-parishioners to unite in building a Parsonage. They were not, however, met by others in a spirit similar to their own, and I fear that for the present at least the project must be held in abeyance. A Parsonage would be very desirable, as my lodgings are extremely incommodious. There have been within the Mission, since the 1st Jany., 26 Baptisms, 12 Marriages and 4 Burials. ^Vii « A * ^ IJ *. ■V » f, r^ V •* 29 V U' -^ r~ I have nothing further to add, but, thanking God for his mercies thus far vouchsafed to me, I remain, Bevd. and Dear Sir, Your's faithfully, WILLIAM GORE LYSTER. ^Y'k .« *, i \ ■V » f. / REPORT OF THE MISSION AT BARFORD AND HEREFORD. Reverbnd and Dear Sib, My Report will, I fear, be somewhat meagre. Being ordained by the Bishop of Quebec, on the 8th of September, 1861, at Lennoxville, I was licensed as Travel- ling Missionary for the District of St. Francis. However, practically I found my ministrations confined to that por- tion of the District in which a Mission had been formed, and known as the Hereford and Barford Mission. I, of course, fell into the arrangements made by ray pre- decessor, the Rev. J. P. Richmond. Services were held on alternate Sundays in each of the Townships. I had ex- pected to find a large congregation in Hereford, but in this I was somewhat disappointed. The novelty of the Services had worn away ; consequently the regular congregation was small. It averaged 27. However, there is much to encourage. The congregation is steady, and in time will increase in numbers. The responses are heartily given ; and there is a willingness to learn, which is truly refreshing. There is an earnest desire in the minds of the majority ot the congregation to build a Church for the celebration of Divine Service. They need help, which in this case would be judiciously bestowed, for as far as their means go, they are willing to give to the honour of Grod. One person, by no means to be called a wealthy man, has promised $200 80 together with the land for the site. Others are willing to give according to their ability. Perhaps the best criterion for judging the feeling of the Congregation, with reference to their determination to sup- port a Mission, is the manner in which they fill up their obligations to the Minister. For the time which I was there, the Hereford people paid $5, which is only $2 minus of the sum required from them. In the Township of Barford there are two Congregations. Services are held in School houses, as in the Township of Hereford, the one being at the Boundary Line, called Daniel's School House, and the other near Drew's Mills. The Congregation at the former avaraged 28, the latter 30. The population of Drew's Mills is Baptist, with very few exceptions. The Services of the Church may be said to be well attended, but still they are looked upon in the same light as those of the sects around, if so favorably. There is nothing distinctive in their feeling. However, there is the leaven existing, afid we may hope that ere long it may bear fruit. Mrs. Flees, of Quebec, has given 100 acres of land situated in the Township of Barford, to the Church, either to be sold as an endowment, or for a site for a Church, with glebe at- tached. This land is situated near Drew's Mills The congregation at the Boundary Line, is generally smaller than at Drew's Mill, but still the Service at this place is more refreshing. There is an English family resi- ding ucar the School House, which has some influence in the neighbourhood. Mr. Ward, with all the members of his household, are very regular in their attendance at Divine Service, so that the responses are heartily given, and every attention paid, which the solemnity of the Service demands. The other members of the Congregation followed the example of those nurtured in the faith of the Church, so that the Majesty of God is rarely offended by irreverent behaviour. /''4i 81 to / -^ There is a strong desire existing hero to build a suitable house for the Service of the Most High. Mr. Ward has pro- mised 10 acres of land, while the residue of his family make up an amount of $200. A farmer in the neighbour- hood bus promised $10, while another who lives near Drew's Mills, has offered 625. There is reason to hope then that this Township of Barford may have a Church erected within it before many years have gone by. The Barford Congregation have paid to me the full amount due from them. It is, however, but just to say that Mr. Ward has forwarded the whole of this ; with very little prospect of any being refunded. On the other hand, I must add, that Mr. A. Damon, of Drew's Mills, seems determitaed to support the Church, and will, I have no doubt, pay the subscription he has promised. I am, Yours faithfully, CHAS. ROBERTS. The Rev. the Secretary of the Church Society. Bourg-Louis, January 15, 1862. % THE REV. C. ROBERTS' REPORT OP SERVICES AS LAY-READER. HIS Rev. Sib, I have been requested to send in a Report to the Church Society, detailing Missionary operations in Bourg-Louis, for the last five months, during which time I laboured in that district as Lay-Reader. I found a very good spirit manifested upon my arrival at Bourg-Louis. The people had come to the conclusion that a resident Missionary would be an advantage to them. Con- sequently they were determined to show by their good con- 82 duot that they had made an ituprovemont on tho past ; for the Bourg-Louis people had gained for themselves a painful notoriety in being very remiss in fulfilling their engagements to the Clergyman. The subscription list then was wi )1 filled up, the number of persons who neglected to sign thoir i araes being very small. However this had been done many times before. The testing time is, of course, the paying time. I held services twice every Sunday, with catechising be- tween. Notice had been given by the Bishop of a Confirma- tion to be held. This gave me an opportunity of drilling the candidates well in tho Church Cate^i Ism. The morning service was very well attended throughout the time I remained in Bourg Louis. The Congregation averaged 80. On some Sundays a much larger number met together. Tho aftornoon Congregations were not so large : yet they averaged 40. We may call them respectable congregations for a small bush Mission. Finding the singing conducted in a very peculiar style, I at once formed a music class. This led several to attend regularly to the music lessons, and what was better, to the Church services. I am thankful to state that ray labours to improve the tone of Church Music were blessed with success. The Canticles were chanted, and good solid Psalm tunes were substituted for the light productions of a debased age in Church Music. These, simple yet good, were appre- ciated by the congregation, the members of which soon joined in most vigorously. Our services ought to be made attractive to the mass of tho congregation. The services of the Roman Catholic Church are highly attractive, and the Dissenters also endeavour to stir up the devotional feelings of their congregations by fervent appeals to their musical feelings ; — I certainly found a knowledge of music of great service to me in Bourg Louis. There are 440 Protestants in Boui^ Louis, and these as- 4/ •V 83 f' suredly ought not to Lo left without a resident clcrgyrann The Clergyman at Fort-Ncut' is tiyepty-ono. milnis uway, and he cuuiiot attend to (hem properly. ,, At present there is u stron<> desire in the minds of the pepple to have a minister among them, and I believe they would do their best to sup- port a Missionary, and put him in a comfortable residence, for this in Bourg Louis as elsewhere, is a positive necessity, nnd at present for a person with a family^ there is no residence at all. However, we may hope for a better ftiture. I am, Yours very faijthfully, CHARLES JiOBEllTS. Coaticook, Septr. 10, 18G1. The Revd. the Secretary of the Church Society. P REPORT OF TRAVELLING MISSIONARY DURING THE ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR, 1860—61. ACTON, I visited four times and held six divine services. It is well there is now a clergyman settled there, as many of the miners belong to the Church, and they required to be encouraged to attend regularly. DURHAM STATION I visited six times, holding afternoon service. • There always was a full attendance. No doubt it will be soon necessary to station a Missionary there, as several sound Churchmen live near at hand, and further steps have been ^ taken towards the erection of a church near the glebe lot. ^ I visited six time and held live morning services.

This Mission is improving n« one Church family ho« returned from the States, which left the place two years ago, and another family has settled on n farm. OUTLET OF LAKE MEMPHREMAGOG T visited three times nnd held three Divine Services, there being always good attendance. A railway from St. Johns, to connect nt Barton with the Passumpsic and Connecticut rnilway, is now being constructed. As there will be a Station at the Outlet, it would be well, as soon as possible, that a Missionary be appointed to that post who could attend also to Georgeville. GEORGEVILLE I also visited three times, holding Divine Service each time. This place has been distracted by the efforts of the Method- ists against the Church, but if the place be attended to, the Almighty will turn these troubles to the good of the Church. We have the promises of God on our side, and even the gates of hell cannot prevail against our cause. WINDSOR I visited seven times and held seven services. Here are but few Churchmen, and there is not much encouragement. • HARDWOOD HILL 1 visited eight times, and the services were always well attended. There are five Church families in this place, and all the inhabitants around are well disposed towards the Church. Several persons wish to be confirmed, and so this post should not be neglected : besides a collection for the Church Society will be made, which they have promised to make without being asked. I < h> ^ 35 BHOMPTON T vjMted eighteen times, and the attendance lias always been large. This field is improving rapidly. A snbscription has been made tor tho Church Society, which will bo handed in on the first of Jununry, and this collection with that of Hard- wood Hill, will amount to about forty-five dollars, which is to the praise of tho inhabitants as it is their first time of giving. The School-house where the Missionary holds Divine Service, is about nine miles from Shcrbrooke, and it might be supposed tho Church families might attend there, but the Church in Sherbrookc, being so filled that there are several families in tho town that cannot obtain pewp, it behoves a Missionary tn attend to this place. LOUIS C. WURTELK. Quebec, Dec. 24, 18G1. !: REPORT ON THE MISSION OF LAMBIE'S MILL AND LOWER INVERNESS. There is much that is cheering to report as to the outward progress of this Mission. God grant that it may throughout be what I know it is in some instances, the fruit of a more serious feeling of responsibility. I have taken a stand with regard to the siipport of the Church, which I conceived it to be my duty to take, disagree- able though it were to myself. Feeling it to be a Clergyman's duty to speak plainly on any neglect which appeared to call for plain speaking most imperatively, I could not shut my eyes to the fact that there was one sin of omission very much indulged in, viz : that of neglecting the support of reli- gion. The result of my teaching is, I am happy to sfty, a more evident interest in, and sympathy with the Church and its welfare, and no misunderstanding whatever, as far as I can perceive, of the motives which induced the stand I took. 36 In the Church at Lambie's Mills, a pulpit, rea(linp;-dcsk. Communion table and rails have been added since last year, the gift of £5 from your Society, helping in this good work. Some oats to keep the horse are always subscribed at Lambie's Mills, and in Nelson and parts of Inverness. Indeed in these matters there is a large proportion of the people who are ever ready to help cheerfully, but payment* come in irregularly enough. I do not suppose there are half a dozen of sub- scribers wIk) can pay quarterly, however desirable such an arrangement certainly is. There are no local markets, and journies to Quebec must be infrequent. The Parsonage in Inverness is now inhabited, and is, I am sure, a source of satisfaction to the congregations — to those who have helped, and to those who will yet help. I hold a service in the house once a month for the present for the sake of those who are a long way from the House of God. The donations to the parsonage given by residents in the Mission, amount to £35 2s. 6d. The i^ork that has been done by the people is worth certainly as much as $120. This has been done by taking down and removing and fixing up a stable : by clearing two acres of land, and by hauling lime, &c., &c. This is equiva- lent to £65 2s 6d altogether, and there is much yet to col- lect. Our congregations are steady, both churches being filled except in bad weather. W. S. VIAL, Missionary. North Inverness, Deer. 23, 1861. ^X r* * Note by the Secretary. — Accompanying* the above is a list of the free-will offerings of the people of the above mission to their worthy minister, over and above the stipulated stipend agreed to be paid to him, and which is estimated at the value of $53.08. It is not thought woy th while to publish the /) •• ■* 37 -* f items. It evidences appreciation and kindly consideration. May many more such evidences be exhibited dxiring the com- ing year, not only in this but in all our Missions. To all, he makes bold to say, " go and do likewise." ^t\. w *. * * a b MISSION OF PRAMPTON, &c., 1861. I cannot say that any very marked progress has been made in this Mission during the ycffr, though some efforts have been made in the cause of education, which I trust will result to the temporal and spiritual advantage of the rising generation. Aided by grants from the Church Society, we have been enabled to secure the services of two competent teachers for East and West Frampton. The schools have been in opera- tion since July, and are attended by more than sixty scholars who are making satisfactory progress in secular and religious learning. The people have displayed a great deal of earnest- ness and self-denial, considering their limited means in estab- 1 ishing these schools, and I trust will manifest the same spirit in continuing to support them. • We have to thank the Church Society for a grant of books to the amount of $6 towards our Lending Library, and a friend in Quebec gave us twenty volumes more, so that with the additions made, and the subscription money of the people, we have now two hundred and fifty volumes of interesting and instructive books which are doing good service in supply- ing the people with healthy reading, in place of those trashy novels and sensation newspapers which at one time flooded the township. I regret very much that we have not fulfilled the conditions which would have enabled us to claim the Society's grant of $60 towards finishing St. Paul's Church, East Framptop. If contributions in kind could have availed for the purpose, they would have been forthcoming ; but to have the work pro- 38 pcrly done, we must have employed workmen outside the don- gregation who would have required cash payments, and farm produce, of all kinds was so low this year, the people found it hard enough to get cash to pay the teacher and to meet their engagements to the Church Society. The same excuse, how- ever, cannot be made for the people of Standon, who have left their new church in the same state in which it was at this time last year. AH that was required of them to make it decent and comfortable was a little labour, not equal certainly to two days work for each head of a family, and yet that little has been left undone in spite of many eitbrts made to arouse them from their apathy and indifference. The good effect produced by the meeting held here for the Society last winter is shown by the additional subscribers who have sent in their contributions to the Treasurer. The amount remitted last year was $40.05 ; this year it is $58.25. I append some statistics, from which some notion may be formed of the state of the Mission. Extent of square miles, 250 ; Churches, 4 ; families, 135 ; Church members, 800 ; services, 135 ; communicants, 142 ; Communion administered 25 times ; Public catechizing 23 times ; Baptisms, 32 ; Marriages, 9 ; Burials, 10 ; contribu- tions $313.25, divided thus : Towards my salary, $160 ; Church Society, $58.25 ; Offertory, $50 ; produce and work to enable me to get the Society's grant, $45. J. H. JENKINS, Misaionary. REPORT OF THE MISSION OF LAKE BEAUPORT AND STONEHAM. In my new field of labour, I am grateful to the giver of all good for the prosperous condition of the Church, and the "V « > . (\ i> 39 And still a great work remains to \. a : f> good success of labours, be done. Regular Sunday services have been held at Lake Beauport and Stoneham, alternately, morning and afternoon during the Summer ; but at present the services are held fortnightly in each place, owing to the shortness of the days, and the great distance between the Churches. Sometime ago the Govern- ment made a grant of $800 to make a road across the Mountains, but afterwards rescinded it. It would be no trifling advantage to both parishes to have such a road, removing the tremendous circuit which must now be travelled, and facilitating the intercourse of the inhabitants of all classes in both parishes. In that case also I would be able to con- tinue my regular Sunday services in both places, and carry out my work with more vigor and greater advantage. I visit the people in both parishes regularly and solicit them to attend Church, and your society will be glad to hear some who were careless of God and public ordinances, have begun to show a better spirit, and visit the House of Godi, Among the rest I visited a German family at Lake Beauport who have been resident there about two years. I was the first Clergyman of the Church of England that had ever called upon them : they were apparently much pleased with my visit, and promised to attend Church in future. It has been my purpose in my intercourse with those families who differ from us, and who attend our services, to manifest in my conversation and deportment, the temper and spirit of our Blessed Lord, that I might leave a godly impres- sion of Divine truth in every house. The great object of my Mission which I constantly keep in view is the salvation of all the souls of the individuals, parents and children, with whom I meet in the discharge of my pastoral duties : accor- dingly my preaching has been adapted to the circumstances of the people : while I have exercised great forbearance to sec- 40 4; / tarians, I have not tailed to warn them of the sin of schism, and to urge upon them the necessity of reunion among all classes of Protestants to support the Clergyman of the predominant Church. The Church at Lake Beauport is well filled every service, and all the vacant pews are taken. We were much cheered by the visit of the Lord Bishop on the first Sunday after Christmas. His Lordship administered the Holy Communion to twenty two Communicants, and it proved to be a season of blessing and refreshing from the presence of the Lord. The Sunday School although reorganized under unpropitions cir- cumstances, is slowly advancing with every prospect of doing good. A donation of interesting books, and the additional aid of our good and efficient teacher will supply increased facilities for the religious instruction of the rising generation. I regret to hear that the Education Committee have resolved to withdraw their grant in part from the Day School at Lake Beauport. The present pecuniary arrangement between the Teacher and the Church Society is satisfactory to the people, and any new arj-augement in the present position of affairs to throw the burden of supporting the Teacher, on the people who find it very difficult to pay their present liabilities, would be, to say the least, very distasteful. The School of this poor and feeble population has been under the care of the Church Society in more prosperous times, and now when they are still more feeble by the emigration of several families, they look to the Church Society for the continuance of their benevolent aid in the eSovt which they are making to carry on the School as efficiently as before. I wbuld appeal therefore to the charitable members of the Central Board in behalf of this poor district whose many parents cannot pay the Master for the schooling of their children. I venture to hope that the original grant will not be reduced. The Church population of Stoneham arc very desirous that ■■'V '% I >■ I) 4r their Church should be fitted up for oouseoration to the Mr- vice of Almighty God, in accordance with the teachings of Holy Scripture. In view of this they are taking the necessary steps ibr repairs and have already shewed out a goodly number of the beams for the floor, and have brought them to the Church. There will be great difficulty experienced in raising the necessary sum for repair- ing the Church. I speak from my knowledge of the circum- stances of the people. A small contribution can be raised from the people of Stoneham, but they will be forced to seek for means to supply the deiSiciency among the friends of the Church elsewhere. It is earnestly hoped that the wealthy Protestant community of Quebec will not let this little Church go to decay for want of the necessary sum to pay for its re- pairs. We are greatly indebted to a liberal gentleman oi ' ^uebeo for the promised grant of a small glebe to the Church at Stoneham, and I beg to thank him publicly for the generous gift, in behalf of all the protestant people of th@ parish. Before the end of the year something may be done towards erecting a parsonage upon it, which is very much wanted. My services at Stoneham are well attended, and by God's blessing I trust much good may be accomplished by them. I am not able to report the amount of contributions that have been raised in the Mission for the Church Society. I have been waiting till the subscription lists which are now opened are returned by the collecting Agents. The number of Baptisms, since your Missionary commenced his services here, is, in both parishes, seven infants, one in private. There have been but one marriage and one burial. January 16, 1862. ROBERT MITCHELL, Missionary. 4» REPORT OF THE REVEREND A. CRAWFORD WALSHE. This Mission covers a large extent of ground, the members of the several congregations are much scattered, and Acton- vale, the place marked out for the Missionary's residence is very inconveniently situated, enhancing much the difficulty of visiting, and the performance of other official duties. The means of communication between different points is in some places little better than a " blazed" road, and as the Mis- sionary has to travel mostly afoot, for considerable distances, the labour is distressing and has, in one instance, superin- duced sickness. At South Durham, there is a large and intelligent congre- gation who are most attentive and alive to their eternal in- terests. In no congregation that the undersigned has ever consorted with, has he felt the beautiful Litany to be offered up to the throne of Grace with such fervent devotion as here, and he believes and gratefully acknowledges that " the hand of God has been" over his labours *' for good." A block Church is in course of erection, and there is a beautiful clergy lot with a small house on it, the gift of an esteemed Minister of the Diocese, for the Clergyman's resi- dence. The people have kindly pai4 their promised contri- bution to their Pastor's support, and it is believed would not object to increasing it. Here the Lord's Supper was administered twice ; the num- ber of communicants being twelve. At Metcalf Hill, where the congregation is composed of mem- hers belonging partly to the Diocese of Montreal, and partly to Quebec, there is usually a good assemblage of devout and attentive worshippers, sound ** in the Faith once delivered to the Saints," and loyal to the Church of their Forefathers. God Almighty bas blessed this community, and their temporal I 4S rr A concerns are very prosperous. May He iu His boundless mercy preserve thetu blameless in the ways of Truth and Faith till Christ's coming in glory with "a recompense of reward" of " eternal life" " to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality," Here also our Brethren have administered to their Pastor's necessities and honorably paid their promised portion toward his support. I once celebrated the Holy Communion here, the number of recipients being eight. It has been a matter of much regret to me that I have not been able to organize a Sunday School here or at Durham. I endeavoured to do so, but my efforts were unsuccessful. All I could effect for the peculiar good of the young was inducing several of the children at each mission to commit to memory the 5th Chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, at Christmas, and, on their repeating it correctly to me, presenting each with a small book in token of approval. I have conducted Divine Worship here and at South Dur- ham fortnightly, and with the above Congregations there has I rejoice to say, existed such friendly sentiments and mutual esteem and confidence, between the Pastor and People tha our intercourse has been of the most agreeable (and I trust in God of an equally profitable) nature to both. But I grieve to say that my labours amongst them (owing to non-residence) have not been so abundant as I could have wished. I would humbly, but most earnestly comn} nd these two congregations to the Board with the view that a resident Minister may be speedily located amongst them, for these " fields are white already to harvest" and the crop is rank and ripe. Will not the Church go in and " dress and keep ?" " Th? harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few" ; if she tarry, others will occupy and the aspect of these promising fields will change, and these smiling, serried ranks of now H jubilant Charohmen will soon be laid low and gathered and bound in sheaves for other garners. Aotonvale is the smallest and poorest of congregations with- in this Mission, yet it furnishes to the Minister a field of much usefulness. The mine, upon which nearly all our members depend for their daily bread, has been in a state of transition, and in a collapsed condition almost ever since my arrival, and from there being but little or no employment at it, our mem bers have decreased, and much suffering and destitution exist. I have held two services, (sometimes three which includes a special one for the miners when there was work) a Sun- day each fortnight, and until very recently one each Wednes- day evening, and on each Festival, and all these have been usually as well attended as can be expected. There is a Sunday School which numbers twenty-three scholars, of which Miss Sarah Dunn is superintendent, and in which Mrs. Merrill, Miss T. Dunn, and occasionally Mrs. W. H. A. Davies, kindly afford most valuable assistance as Teachers. I would respectfully solicit, in consideration of our poverty, a small donation of books from the Society to be used as a Library for the School. And there is in the village a small Church School for chil- dren, conducted by a devoted and worthy church woman. Funds have been partially collected, and a public meeting was held here early last November, for the purpose of building a Church, a site for which has been generously given by Mr. W. H. A. Davies of Montreal, but as yet no further steps have been taken towards the erection of the building. The Lord's supper has been administered here on two oeeasions, the number of communicants being eight. In the entire Mission there have been tTrenty-two Baptisnkji by the undersigned.

The Clergy Trust Committee beg leave to report. The Revenue arising from the securities held by this Com mittee has been received in full for the past year. The following permanent investments have been made dur- ing the year : — Clergy Trust including the Endowments under its charge $15,600 Bishopric Endowment 6,044 The Debentures which matured during the year and were paid off account for the large amount invested. ■' The Government of Canada having called in the Municipal Loan Fund .Debentures, your Committee had those held by them paid, and the amount temporarily invested at six pei: cent. The Rev. Gilbert Percy, L.L.D., having left the Diocese, a letter was received from him accepting the Three Hundred Pounds currency, the amount offered him by this Society as a payment in full for any and every claim he might hav* u *-n I*- A 47 should he again resido in this Diocese. The amount has been paid with interest since tlie 1st July last, and the necessary legal documents signed by the Revd. Dr. Percy's duly author- ized Attorney, giving a full disohargo as per deed passed before W. Bigncll, Esq., Notary, a copy of which will be found with the papers belonging to this Committee. The Quebec Chapel Endowment Fund having been entrust- ed to this Committee, and the five years having now elapsed, the period for paying the subscriptions to this fund, they beg leave to report that out of Twenty-two subscriptions to the Fund, amounting to £1360 currency, fifteen have been paid up in full, three are paying up, and four will have to bo writ- ten off as bad, amounting to £145. That is, the heirs of one of the subscribers now deceased, and who was always known as a kind benefactor to the Church, have positively refused to pay. Another repudiates and the remaining two have been so often inefFoetually solicited during the last five years, that your Committee look upon the payment as hopeless. The subscriptions to the Endowment fell far short of the sum proposed to be raised. Donations, either to this Fund or the Rectory Endowment will bo thankfully received jj,from those who may be kindly disposed to make future provision for the ministrations of the Church in this parish.
