 Your Committee respectfully submit the following for your considera- 
 tion : — 
 
 1. That as the future of Methodism in this country must largely depend 
 upon the rising generation, efforts sliould be put forth for the establish- 
 ment and sustenance of Sabbath-schools at every appointment of our 
 Connexion throughout the Province. 
 
 2. That with a view of assisting and developing weak Sunday-schools 
 in the outlying parts of the country, this Conference make provision for 
 an organization to be called the British Columbia Conference Sabbath 
 School Association, to be arranged by the President of the Conference, 
 with its head-quarters at Victoria, and with branches situated in different 
 parts of the "inference, and co-operating as far as possible with local 
 associations. The objects of the Association shall be the planting of new 
 schools where none are existing, the invigorating of weak schools in out- 
 lying neighborhoods, and the improvemeiit of metliods of Sabbath-school 
 instruction by the wider circulation of our Sabbath-school literature, the 
 holding of Sabbath-school Institutes, and employment of voluntary lay 
 agency from among our most cthcient Sabbath-school workers. 
 
 3. Youi' Committee also recommend that a Convention be held in con- 
 nection with the Financial 1 )istrict Meeting, in each District, to discuss 
 questions in relation to Siilibath-school work, in accordance with the pro- 
 isions of the Discipline. 
 
 4. That the last Sunday in each year be devoted to a temperance lesson, 
 and that more attention be given to the securing of names of all children 
 in our schools to a Total Abstinence Pledge — pledging themselves as 
 well to abstain from profane laiiguge, the use of tobacco, and reading bad 
 books ; and that a book for the purpose be kept in every school. 
 
 5. Your Conmiittee i-egret that apparently so little attention is being 
 paid to tbe study of the Catecliism, and would respectfully recommend 
 that every nunister and superintendent be requested to observe that the 
 Catechism is taught, and the children examined regarding their.knowledge 
 of the same, at regular intervals. 
 
 6. We would further advise that at least once a quarter every minister 
 should address the children nnd parents on Sabbath schools and thdir 
 relation thereto ; and 
 
 7. That all our schools use the helps and periodicals provided by our 
 own Book Room. 
 
 8. With a view to the better observance of the Sabbath Day, we would 
 advise that on the first Sunday of every month for the current Conference 
 year the Fourth Commandment be repeated by the whole school simul- 
 taneously, and words of explanation be given by the superintendent or 
 minister.

 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. 
 
 1. Your Conunitteo beg to report that we consider the observance of 
 the Christian Sabbath to be binding upon all men by the coniniand of 
 tJod, as necessary U) man's physical, mental and moral well-l)oing, and as 
 conserving the interests of society. 
 
 2. The fact that on this subject the people of British Columbia are in 
 sentiment and practice far below the people of all the other Provinces of 
 the Dominion is to us as painful as it is deplorable. 
 
 3. The extent of Sabbath desocratior, in this Province calls for the 
 prayerful attention of members of this Conference, and such a deliverance 
 on the subject as becomes a body of Christian ministers and laymen 
 charged with the moral and religious interests of the Methodist Church 
 and its adherents. 
 
 4. The Sabbath we regard as a sacred heritage which should be 
 guarded with vigilance, that all encroachments upon its .sanctity should 
 be reprobated, and that stnuiuous endeavors should be made to create a 
 public sentimeiit favorable to the Christian observance of this holy day. 
 
 5. That the systematic desecration of the Sabbath by railway and 
 steamboat coinpani(!.s, by which a large number of their employees are 
 deprived of the privileges of rest and worship which this day was intended 
 to secure to them, and the loss of wliich must entail both physical and 
 moi-al harm, calls for action on the part of all Christian people to secure 
 for all classes of our fellow-citi/.ens the right of cessation from labor, that 
 the privileges of the Sabbath may be enjoyed by them. 
 
 6. We urge upon all our people to oppose all forms of Sabbath excur- 
 sions, as being in contravention of the law of God and detrimental to the 
 sanctity of the day. as also all parties of pleasure and social visiting. In 
 our judgmentt, he desecration of the Sabbath is ruinous to the Christian 
 character of our country and our homes, dishonors God and depraves 
 man. It is ruinous to our young people, and tends to profligacy and vice. 
 
 7. We I'ecommend the Conference to appoint a committee that sliall 
 co-operate with similar committees appointed by other Churches, to secure 
 from the Legislature of this Province such legislation as may be necessary 
 to ",ecure the proper observance of the Sabbath ir British Columbia.

 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANOK 
 
 With respect to the temperance cause, in which our Church, in con- 
 nection with sister Churches, takes a deep and growing interest, your Com- 
 mittee feel under obligation to express their warmest gratitude for the 
 increased assistance that humanity and religion are receiving from the 
 various temperance organizations around us, such as the Good Templars, 
 the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and other kindred energetic 
 societies. ,

 [n l)ehalf of our common humanity your Committee think tliat our 
 Church owes a dfbt of jjratitude to the ladifs for what they have already 
 <lono in this important work, and expect yet greater activity and more 
 jibundant success from increased and persevering efforts. To the ladies 
 your Committee belitsve that humanity is justified in looking for a yet 
 larger measure of assistance in removing the blighting curse of intoxicants 
 from our midst. 
 
 Your Connnittee yet further rejoice in noting the fact that the princi- 
 pal journals in this Province are now willing to iissist in educating the 
 public mind with respect to the necessity for the total prohibition of the 
 liquor traffic, and they hail this assistance with i.o small degree of .satis- 
 faction. 
 
 We are gratiKed, too, in the great ar ' stear'y advancement made by 
 the various temperance organizations wu li'i the past year, and from the 
 present prospect trust that by the united eflbrts of j)ulpit., press and plat- 
 form, the time is not far distant when the people will rise in their majesty 
 and might and declare with one voice that this terrible curse of hu- 
 manity shall be banished from our midst. 
 
 It is with feelings of profound sadness ;nd amazement that we view 
 the multilation of the Municipal Act by tie Legislative A.ssembly — the 
 trampling under foot the rights of the people for the purjiose of permitting 
 liquor saloons to be forced upon them against the will of a nuijority of 
 the electors. U'e most earnestly hope that the intelligent electors of 
 British Columbia will not long submit to such despotic and degrading 
 action. Your Committee are deeply convinced of the great need there 
 exists for the further education of tin; public conscience on the temper- 
 ance question, and would recommend — 
 
 1. That all our ministers be instructed to preach, at least once a year, 
 a special sermon on this theme. 
 
 2. That the regular weekly prayer-meeting be made a temperance 
 prayer-meeting at least once a quarter. 
 
 3. That a temperance .society be foi-med, if possible, at each appoint- 
 ntent on all our Circuits and Missions, and that the children in our Hun- 
 day-srliools be encouraged to take the pledge of total abstinence. 
 
 4. That unfermented wine oidy be used in all our churches at the 
 Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. 
 
 5. Thai: our people should be urged to work and pray and vote, till 
 we gain the entire prohibition of the liquor trathc, and our fair young 
 Province be fieed from the cur.se that has so long, and with such deadly 
 effect, rested upon us. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted.

 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF THE 
 
 WORK. 
 
 In reviewing the present state of our work within the bounds of the 
 British Columbia Conference, and tracing it from ii,s small beginnings, 
 your Comniittee see abundant reason to thank God and take courage.

 MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA 
 
 [1887 
 
 It Wtas only 28 years ago the 11th of February last that the first mission- 
 aries of tiie Methodist Churcli landed in British Columbia, and now, behold, 
 we have become four bands or Districts. The progress made lias some- 
 times been slow, trying the faith, patience and courage of those who 
 sowed much and reaped little. But by the good hand of our God upon us 
 better days have dawned and we have been brought into a comparatively 
 large and wealthy place. As the department of statistics is conimitted to 
 a separate committee, we will not enter into that ; but briefly say that we 
 rtnd in every branch :^f our Church's work progress and expansion. Your 
 Committee learn wii/h gK~'lness that during the past year blessed revivals 
 of religion have been vouchsafed, both among the whites and Indians, and 
 (luring the same period a number of Chinese iiave given evidence of con- 
 version to God, wliile a much larger number have been brought under reli- 
 gious instruction, which it is iioped may soon produce abundant fruit in 
 their salvatioii. Numerous cases of conversion have occurred in con- 
 nection witli our Sunday-schools, which we regard a.s being a most hopeful 
 indication. 
 
 Your Committee lielievf thiit a fresh impetus will be given to the 
 work of Methodism in this Province by its organization as a separate 
 .\nnual Conference, and its subdivision into a larger number of Districts, 
 as these incisures will greatly facilitate a more thorough supervision of 
 the work, and convenient co-operation in aggressive ettbrts. Your Com- 
 mittee would express tiie earnest hope that additional laborers may be 
 secured for white, Indian and Chinese department.s — laborers wholly 
 devoted to their work, and filled with the Holy Ghost, as the fields i.i 
 many places are already white unto the harvest. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted.

 SUSTENTATION FUND COMMITTEE. 
 
 Your Connnittee on this subject be;' leave to report as follows : — 
 
 That whereas the salaries on Domestic Missions are inadecjuafe to the 
 proper support of the missionaries ; 
 
 And whereas the General Conference at its last session empowered the 
 various Annual Conferences to organize Sustentation Funds ; therefore 
 
 Resolved — 1. That the Conference be reconmiended to constitute a 
 Fund to be known as " The Sustentation Fund of ^''e British Columbia 
 Conference." 
 
 2. The object of this Fund shall be to supplement any insufficient in- 
 come of ministers and preacliers. 
 
 3. Each Financial District Meeting shall make the best possible ar- 
 rangements for carrying out the provisions of this scheme. 
 
 4. A Connnittee shall be appointed by the Conference, consisting of an 
 equal number of ministers and laymen, whose duty it shall be to make the 
 necessary appropriations to ministers and preachers upon an equitable 
 basis, so far as the funds will permit, after the peculiar and special cir- 
 cumstivncej of each case have been duly considered.

 COMMUNICATION FROM THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY 
 SOCIETY OF THE METHODIST CHURCH. 
 
 To the Me.mhcru of the. /irilish Cohimhia Coii/irence, A'isemhkd in Victorid, 1S87 : 
 
 At this your first session as a Conference, the Woman's Missionary 
 Society of the Aletiiodi;,'- Church conies before you soliciting your advice 
 add co-operation in the carrying on of its work. 
 
 As (Miti'usted with funds for the extension and support of the Gospel, 
 especially among heatiicn women and chikli'en, we are e.xceedingly anxious 
 to do it in the most etlitnent and economical way ; and realizing that you 
 who are ou the ground, aiid ac(|uainted witli its various sections, can best 
 tell \vl\;it are the most pressing needs and where oui' organization can be.st 
 work for the accomplishment of oui- coiunion aim, we thought it well to 
 appeal to you. 
 
 As you are aware, we have since our formation assisted in the support 
 of the (Jrosby Home, wliich appeals foi' still further help. We have been 
 asked to contribute to the Xaas River ]Mission, and lately an urgent call 
 has come on behalf of tlie Chinese gii'ls in Victoria. 
 
 W^e hope that a portion of your time will be given to a consideration 
 of these claims, and that we may have tlie benefit of your counsel. 
 
 If we cannot accede to all you may advise it will not be from any 
 want of respect or appreciation. Our income is not unlimited, and other 
 very heavy ivsponsibilities rest upon us. Our aim is to advance the 
 interests of the Kingdom as far as we can, and as each Conference must 
 be especially familiar with the missions under its own care, its advice 
 must be the most valuable. 
 
 We tiiink it not out of place to ask that auxiliaries be formed on 
 every Circuit where at all feasible. May we not lo(jk for the co-o[)eration 
 of the ministers in this matter Even during this session of Conference, 
 Victoria might crown herself with this new organizat...n — a Woman's 
 Missionary Society.

 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS. 
 
 Your Committee on Missions beg to leport as follows : — 
 We Knd that the following institutions are in existence — 
 
 1. The Choshy Oihi.s' Ho.me. 
 
 This institution lias ninetecMi girls and one boy — tlie eldest sixteen 
 jears and the youngest nine months. 
 
 It is niiiintained by a grant from the WomaTi's Missionary Society of 
 the Methodist Church of "'^tOO, and income from [yrivate suliscriptions. 
 Th(? expenditure for the year has bec-n : Matron's salary, .^K)() ; for- main- 
 lenance of eight girls, in excess of inconu! from private subscriptions, 
 $■'500 ; h.'aving a deticit for the year now closing of about iJ.'iOO, which 
 was met by balances in hand fr-om previous y(>ar. 
 
 This institution, since its commencement nine years ago, has given 
 •belter to about 100 childr-en for a longer oi' shorter' period. \ largo 
 proportion of the girls thus brought under civilizing and Christianizing 
 influences have given good evidence of conversion to God, sbveral of whom 
 lave died tr-iumphant in the faith of Christ and the hope of iieaven. 
 
 Quite a number have married Christian Indians, and their influence for 
 good rpon the other Indian women has been ver-y nnirked. Tiie |)resent 
 high degi-ee of efHciency of the institution is lar'gely due to the methodical, 
 painstaking and per\severing efforts of the present matron. Miss Kniglit, 
 tite of Halifax, Nova Scotia. W.' rocommend this institution most 
 heartily to the confidence and support of the Woman's Missionary Society 
 »nd all Christian people.

 This institution was established I y Rev. A. E. Green, seven years ago. 
 AI«out forty orphan hoys have been cared for here for a longer or shorter 
 period since its commencement. The inmates now number seven. 
 
 From private benefactions, Sunday-school contributions, and proceeds 
 of a lecture, Bro. Green has received about $A')0 towards its maintenance. 
 
 The boys are not only taught the ordinary branches if a common 
 school education, and carefully instructed in religion, but e.Iso trained in 
 industrial pursuits and provided with clothing. 
 
 This institution we also commend to the favorable consideration of 
 th<! Woman's Missionary Society, and the liberal support of all Christian 
 ])e'iple. (Two of tliese boys have rendered eHieciive assistance in our work 
 as interpreters during the past yeai\) 
 
 liexolved, — 1. That the condition of the Indians of Britisli Columbia, 
 as it falls uiu.er the notice of our missionaries and otlier niemliei-s of thii. 
 Conference, is such that, in our judgment, the Dominion Government 
 sluiukl be urged to establish Industrial Schools in this Province, wlierethe 
 children of the various tribes could be collected together and taught such 
 bninclies of a useful education as would tend to their improvement ond 
 elevation. 
 
 2. That the representatives from this Conference to the Gi-neral Hoard 
 of Missions be requested to urge the importance of such institutions for 
 our Indians upon the Board, and through tliem upon the Domininn (Govern- 
 ment, and the inii)ortance of taking inimediate action in this regard. 
 
 .S. ( onsidering the length of time during which we liave been engaged 
 in mission work among the Indian trii)es in British Columbia, the 
 numerous agencies employed, the liberal expenditure by our Missionary 
 Soiiety in tlieir maintenance, and the large nund)er of Indians now under 
 our watch, care, And instruction, many of whom are in pressing need of 
 suL-h an institution, we are of opinion that one or more of thes. institu- 
 tions should tie placed under tlie direction of the Methodist Cliurch. 
 
 4. In our judgment ti.e most suitable location for the establishment 
 of an Industrial School is the valley of the Lower Eraser. 
 
 !). We r(!commend that the Conference direct the Conference Special 
 Committee to hold this matter in charge for any action that may be 
 ri'ipiired in the interin». 
 
 6. In the opinion of this Committee the establishment of a Home for 
 Indian Girls of the Flat Head Tribes, under the management of a suitable 
 matron, would supply a missing link in our missionary operations in the 
 southern part of IJritish ('olund)ia, and we consider the mission premises 
 at Chilli «^iack the most eligible location for such a Home. This matter 
 we would eomni' nd most earnestly to the favorable consideration of the 
 Woman's Missionary Society, hoping that tiiey will see their way clear to 
 establish such an institution at an early date. 
 
 7. Your Committee consider it liigldy desirable that the President of 
 till- Conference should, during the year, devote a considerable anmuiit of 
 attention to those localities where new missions may be opened, and to 
 assist in bringing forward towards financial independence existing domes- 
 tic missions; and would, through this Conference, urge upon the Missionary

 Mav it Plkase Your Honou : 
 
 We, the f)tKcers and nieinbei's of the first .\iinual Conference of the 
 Methodist (-iuirch, held in tlie city of Victoria, and I'epresenting the 
 Methodist (.'hurch in British (>)hnnl)ia, take great pleasure in embracing 
 the oj)portunity atlorded us, on beluilf of the people of oui' congi'c^gations, 
 to assure your Honor of our continued and hcaity loyalty to Her 
 Gracious Majesty the (^ueen, and attuclnnent (n liet* Majesty's person 
 and throne, and also of offering our congratulations to your Honor on 
 having received the appointment of Lieutenant-Governor of tiie Province. 
 
 As an old pioneer, who for more than a quarter of a century has been 
 identiiied witii the country, shared in the trials, hardships and diilicultios 
 incident to pioiieei' life, and whose energy and enterprise has contributed 
 largely toward the development of its i-esources and the settlement of 
 its waste places, we feel that the lionorable position you now occupy as 
 the chief e.xecutive officer and representative of Her Majesty in the 
 westei-n Province of our vast i)ominion has l)een worthily bestowed, and 
 will, we have nodoul)t, result in good to the country generally. 
 
 When Methodism was in its infancy in British Columbia, and needed 
 sympathy and material aid in the protection of our Divine iMaster's work, 
 we over found in you a willing contributor to that (Church's funds, and in 
 other ways ready to lend a hel[)ing hand in forwarding the interests of 
 the Church in its early eft'orts to provide the settlers with the minis- 
 trations of tiie (lospel and Christian ordinances. 
 
 Our j)rayers shall ascend to tiie great Head of the Church, that you 
 may be endowed with wisdom from above in the discharge of the high 
 and responsible duties that must necessarily devolve upon you, and that 
 under your rn;/ime you may have tlie satisfaction of witnessing tlie proa-

 REPLY. 
 
 To tJie President, Ojficern and Af embers of the Annual Con/ereve of the 
 Methodist Church: 
 
 Gentlemen,— I thank you for the kind assurance of your devotion 
 and loyalty to the person and throne of Her Most Uraeious Majesty the 
 (Jueen, an assurance that is now coming most gratefully and appropriately 
 to her on the fiftieth year of her reign from her devoted sul)jects in all 
 <'0rners of the earth. 
 
 I thank you for your kind congratulations on my appointment to the 
 jjosition of Lieut. (Jovernor of this Province, and foi' your kind expressions 
 of confidence in me as the chief executive othcer and representative of Her 
 Majesty therein. 
 
 Like many of yourselves, J am an old pioneer of the country, and have 
 shared in the trials and vicissitudes of opiMiing it up. and also like many 
 of you hnve aidcsd somewhat in its dcvelopnieiit. Let us hope tliat we 
 may witness in the near futurt; its materia! advancement to one of the 
 highest positions among the pi'ovinces of Canada, and that its progress in 
 civilization, entei'prise and wealth may aid matei'ially in the general 
 advancement of the Dominion. 
 
 From the earliest days of J5i-itish Columbia, I have V)een brought into 
 contact with the untiring energy and zeal of the workers of the Methodist 
 (Jhurch, and am deeply impressed with the value of their eflbrts in dif- 
 fusing the blessings of Christianity among both the whites and aborigines 
 of the ProviiKie, and pray that the blessing of (Jod may be continued on 
 their eftbrts. ' 
 
 I now thank you for the kind assurance of pei'sonal regard for Mrs. 
 Nelson and myself, and L sincerely hope that oui' action in the high 
 position in which we have been placed may win and retain the esteem and 
 regard of the people generally. 
 
 I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant. 
 
 Hugh Nelson.

 GENERAL CONFERENCE FUND. 
 
 TRKASURKUS INTKKIM RKPOUT. 
 
 Requestiid to he laid hi-fore. the several Annual Con/erencen, niid piihlin/u'd 
 Joi" information in tlieir Minutes. 
 
 Although this Fund has been in existence since the time of the for- 
 mation of a General Conference in 1874. it has never had a writtcik 
 constitution. 
 
 The object of the Fund, as gathered from its history, and found in tlie 
 Journals of the General Conferences and in the Discipline of the Church, 
 is to pay the travelling expenses of delegates to and from the General 
 Conference, and of representiitives to other churches and bodies who are 
 appointed by the Genei'al Conference ; to meet the salaries and expenses 
 of our (Jeiieral Superintendents, and of all (ieneral Conference committies 
 that have no funds of their own ; as also to pay the expenses of transfers 
 in certain specified cases. 
 
 The different departments of the Church, up till the meeting of the 
 last General Conference, paid one-half of the salaries and expenses of the 
 General Superintendents, leaving only the other half to Vkj pjiid by the 
 Fund. 
 
 The income for this moiety wjws derived from collections taken up 
 from year to year in the several Circuits and Mi.ssions in the entire 
 Church, and yet tliat income lias always been insufficient to meet the 
 demands, and hence the Fund h.is always been in debt. 
 
 The present Trtasurer whs appointed at the last General Conference, 
 and the wliole amount ncce. «ary to meet all the above claims in full was 
 thrown on the Fund, without aid fi-om any department of the Church. 
 Nearly all the collections for the year 1S8() and IScS? had been paid to 
 the former Treasurer, and yet at tlu^ close of the General (Amfert-nce the 
 Fund was in debt about !?."), 000. The present indeljtedness of tlie Fund 
 is between .*6,000 and !!?7,000, with large ((uarterly payments and other 
 heavy special claims to be met as they arise. 
 
 The Finance (Jommitiee of the General Conference, seeing the very 
 great responsibility involved and the lai-ge amounts to he, ivaiscd, took 
 the following action, viz. (Journal, p. '1-A) : The estimated amount required 
 during the ((uadrennium, less cash on hand, was .$30,000, or an average of 
 $7,500 per year. Tiiis amount was divided by them as follows : Toronto 
 Conference, §1,430; London, *1,000 ; Niagara, *1,000; Guelph, ^..ib; 
 Bay of Quinte, •$87.'); Montreal, %!1,1l';'); Nova Scotia, .$400; New 
 Brunswick, etc., $400; Newfoundland, §! 125 ; and Manitoba, etc., !?3 10. 
 These amounts will therefore be recjuired annually, in the estimation of 
 the Finance Conunittee, to meet the claims on the Fund. The amount 
 paid V)y the several Annual Conferences last year up till the 1st of Sep- 
 tember was about $5,200. Now the Discipline (see p. 50) directs the 
 officers of the General Conference "to disburse only the amount on hand 
 for General Conference expenses," etc. I understand from this clause that 
 the Fund is not to go into debt beyond the (piadrennium. As the matter 
 is now carried on, the largest expenditure is incurred in the payment of

 1st. That ev(M-y ('ir'cuit and ^fission should take up a /.arye all-ddif 
 S(M)ath c.ollcctiou, anil forward it immediately, through its proper oHicer, 
 to the Treasurer. This will reduce the interest account. 
 
 ■2nd. Should there be any deticicmcy at tlit^ clost; of any year in the 
 amount expected from any Conference, let prompt and energetic measures 
 be adopted to meet such deticiency. It will be found easier to do this 
 annually than to raise the whole amount at the end of the quadrennial 
 term. 
 
 Our brethren throughout 'entire Churcli will see that it will require 
 uniti'd, vigorous and prompt action to save the Fund from financial 
 embarrassment, and to enable it to pay in full the amounts needed success- 
 fully to carry on our work.

 SUPERyVNNUATION FUND. 
 
 Report of the Treasurer for the year ending Julij 31st, 1886, for publica- 
 tion in the Minutes of the A nnual Conferences. 
 
 The full Balance Sheet, having been properly audited and accepted by 
 the Hoard, is published in the Journal of the General Conference. 
 
 The Fund is divided into two accounts, the Capital and the Annual. 
 The Capital Account is made up of legacies, donations, and other amounts 
 given for the purpose of investment, the interest only being used. Thi.'j 
 account amounted at the above date to !Bl*)7,i)")6.'J3, less certain unpro 
 ductive assets valued at !?8,.'5.'').'). 14, and leaving as produc^tive capital the 
 sum of $1.^)9,001.09, being nearly iJH.OOO over the Capital Account of tiie 
 previous year. This amount is invcstc^d in mortgnges, ditbentures, and 
 other reliable securities, and yields nearly 6 per cent, per annum. 
 
 The Annual Account amounts to $70,91 H. 11, The following are the

 A combination of circumstances which the Board could not control 
 left the Fund in debt at tlie end of the year, as may be seen from the above

 As the financial year does not close till the 31 st J uly, no definite report 
 can be made for the current year. This report will be presented at the 
 next Annual Conferences. The Book Room grant has been increased thi>

 year fco ?6,000, a result that must be very gratifying to all concerned, and 
 which furnishes an additional reason why our Book Room should be liber- 
 »lly patronized and loyally sustained by l)oth ministers and members. 
 With the assessments from Circuits all paid in full in accordance with our 
 present law, as passed by the late General Conference, we expect to be 
 able to meet all legitimate claims in full, and to reduce, if not extinguish, 
 Ihe deficiency of the previous year. True, genuine loyalty to Methodism 
 ftud its institutions, and united and persevering effort on the part of our 
 ministers and people, will place the Fund in a position in which it will be 
 ft lasting boon and blessing to the Church, and to the aged, the widow, and 
 the fatherless.

 The following preamble ivnd resolution was reported to the Conference 
 by the Stationing ('i)iinnittee, concurred in, and ordered to be printed in

 Whereas the work of tliis Stationing (Committee has been rendered 
 fiioi'e diflicult than otheiwise it would Iwnc b(>en by the fact that the 
 Quai'tet'ly Otllcial I'.oards of some Circuits within tiie bounds of the Con-

 ©tlier Conferences, with a vit^w to securing their services for these par-

 Rt'.solnu/, — -Tiiat while we liave, on this occasion, complied as far as 
 possible with the expressed wishes of tiie Circuits concerned, we desire to 
 kindly point out to the esteemed brethren composing the Quarterly Offi- 
 cial Hoards, that in so small a Conference as ours the pursuance of the 
 course abo\e refei'red to cannot fail to cause serious embarrassment to 
 the Stationing Oimniittee, lessen the efficiency of our Church as a whole, 
 and disturb, to some extent, the present state of good feeling and mutual 
 confidence* so happily existing between ministers and people and among 
 the various Circuits and Missions of our Conference. Wo would remind 
 our people that our churches are not independent congregations, but a 
 Connexion, ■•ind that the principle of the itinerancy can be given its high-

 OBITUAliY. 
 
 WILLIAM BENJAMIN CUYLER. 
 
 The Rev. William Benjamin Cuyler wa3 born in the neighborhood of 
 Whitechurch, Ont., in the year 1859. He must have given his heart 
 to God in early life, for he was yet young when he began to preach the 
 gospel and was received as a probationer in connection ivith tlie London 
 Conference of the Methodist Church. He was a painstaking student, 
 and was successful in revival services. 
 
 In 1883 Bro. Cuyler met Rev. C. M. Tate at St. Catharines, Ont., 
 and expressed a strong desire to consecrate himself to the Indian mission 
 work, and in the following year the Lord opened the way, and he was 
 sent to the Bella Bella Mission. He soon endeared himself to all the 
 brethren on the District, and to them his memory is precious. His 
 unbounded enthusiasm led him to visit distant tribes of Indians in open 
 canoe, exposed to inclement weather, regardless of personal comfort, so 
 tliat ■wi\ cannot but record the conviction that his unselfish devotion led 
 to the afPici'on that compelled him to give up the work he loved so well. 
 Me gaintMl <li' affection of all the Indians, who wept when they heard 
 that they \\oiiid see his face no more. 
 
 He sjji' :t the last six months of his life on the Nicola Mission. 
 Tliough not able to speak above a whisper, he delighted to talk of Divine 
 things, and took part in the class-meeting wliich was held in his house. 
 His testimony was ever cheerful, clear, liopeful, and full of a simple trust 
 in Jesus as a Savioui' to the uttermost. For some weeks before he died 
 he expressed a strong desire to reach his father's home in Ontario, and 
 th<! day before his call to his Father's home in glory actually travelled 
 in a carriage about twenty miles. His devoted wife was with him during 
 his last hours, and when he complained of dimness of sight, instinctively 
 fearing death, she asked him if he could see Jesus, and if he could trust 
 Je.sus for salvation in temporal death and from eternal death. With 
 ilifficulty (as speech now almost failed him), but with unwavering confi- 
 dence, he answered, " Yes," and sinking into unconsciousness in a few 
 moments "he was not," for God had taken him. He was buried at 
 Nicola, where a large congregation attended his funeral. A discourse 
 was delivered from Rev. xiv. 13, portraying the lessons of his life, the 
 heroism of his sacrifice, and the glories of his eternal home.

 BRITISH COLUMBIA CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH 
 
 TO THE SOCIETIES WITHIN ITS BOUNDS. 
 
 Beloveu Hkkthren : — 
 
 Upon the occasion of our first meeting as a Conference we 
 address to you a few words of affection and counsel, knowing that you are 
 equally with ourselves interested in the work in which we are engaged, 
 and that those " who tarry by the stuff" ore entitled to share the spoils 
 with their brethren "who go down to the battle." 
 
 To those who have personal recollection of the arrival of the first 
 Methodist missionaries in this land of the setting sun, and indeed to all 
 of us, the organization of the British Columbia Conference is not only an 
 interesting, but also an important event. This organization was effected on 
 the eleventh day of the present month of May, under tlie dire -tion of the 
 Rev. John A. "Williams, D.D., one of the honored General Superintend- 
 ents of the Methodist (Jliurch, to whose wisdom, courtesy and fervent 
 piety is largely due tlie fact that the session of Confeivmce and the accom- 
 panying services have been to us all "seasons of grace and sweet delight." 
 We trust that this day will prove an auspicious one in the history of 
 Methodism in tliis "glorious Province ' of ours. You will learn with 
 pleasure that the laymen elected by the several Districts were present 
 with few exceptions, evincing the deepest interest, and taking their full 
 share of the business of the Church, 
 
 Perhaps it may be well in this, our first pastoral, to state that the 
 Canadian branch of the great Methodist family to which we belong num- 
 bered last year 1,610 ministers and probationers for the ministry, 2,G92 
 local preachers and exhorters, 6,641 class leaders, and 197,479 Church 
 members; with 24,646 teachers and 191,185 scholars in the 2,675 Sun-

 day-schools under its charge. The statistics of our infant CoiiferiMice 
 seem very small beside tliese grand totals, and yet to those of us 
 who can ajjpreciate the difficulties to lie surmounted, the progress mafic 
 during the past twenty-eight years leads us to thank (rod anfl take 
 courage. The Great Head of the Church, to whose blessing all real pros- 
 perity is due, has vouchsafed to every l)raiich of our work a fair nioasiir." 
 of success. We have now four self-supporting (Circuits, which are rcpiiy- 
 ing with interest the libercal amounts spen*^ upon them by the Missionai-y 
 Society in the days of their dependency. Among the fourteen domestic 
 missions or dependent Circuits are several whicli hope in the near future 
 to reach a similar position. We have nine central missions among the 
 Indians of the Province, with numerous outlying preaching places, sup- 
 plied by our missionaries and native assistants. In addition to these we 
 are carrying on a very interestiiig mission among tiie Chinese, and ;i 
 second is to be established iunnediately. On all these fields of Christian 
 endeavor there have been souls saved, and tlie future is full of promise. 
 
 We are now pos.sessed of the necessary organization for tiie maiiagcmoiit 
 of our own affairs, and the effective prosecution of our work as a branch 
 of the Church of the living (Jod in Uritish Columbia. But wc hardly need 
 to lemind you that no ;irrangei.*ients however wise, or institutions how- 
 e\-er excellent, whether recent or ai.cient, can of them.sclves accomplish 
 anythmg. The success of the work of (iod upon eartli depends upon the 
 fidelity, love and zeal of His people, and con.seijuently upon the measure 
 of the Holy Spirit received l)y them as the spirit of sanctification and of 
 power. Brethren, have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed ? 
 In proportion to the completeness of our separation from sin, consecration 
 to God, and sympathy with men, will be oui' usefulness as a Clwistian 
 people. Let us not forget tiiat our vocation is "to spread Scriptural lioli- 
 ness throughout the land. ' To ilo this we must experience it in our 
 hearts and exemplify it in our lives. Then shall we be "living epistles 
 known and read of all men," Let us tl-eu give our first and mo.st earnest 
 attention to the cultivation of pure and undefiled religion in our own 
 souls liy the use of such means as are provided therefor, such „.: the 
 study of the Word, meditation, prayer and keeping our.selvcs un.sjiotted 
 fr<jm the world. We would e.u-nestly impi'jss upon you the importance 
 of family devotion and tniining. Let yo'.ir homes be bright and cheerful, 
 but let them also be sacredly pun- and well ordered. '"Iiere are also the 
 various forms of associated worship, select and general, to which we 
 cliarg, vou, ijc loyal and true. Let us "not mend oui' rules but keep 
 them." K<y.C lias Iiom- i.-d these means of grncc in the \y,ist, anil will yet

 salvation. Ho far as you are concerneu let notliing succe.s.sfully compete 
 with (lod's Church for the first claim upon your time and energy. 
 
 And while wo value, as God's appointed means for the conversion of 
 sinners and the sanctiKcation of believers, the public preaching of the 
 word and gatherings for prayer and praise and the relation of religious 
 experience, we would emphasize the importance of using every possible 
 means for the religious instruction and salvation of the young The hope 
 of our Church is in the intelligent and faithful training of our children 
 and young people in the doctrines, experience and practice of religion. 
 In liome, Sunday-school and select meetings let us lovingly and zealously 
 obey our Lord's command, " Feed my lambs." In the prosecution of this 
 divinely-appointed task as regards yourselves and others you will find 
 invaluable the assistance to be derived from tlie use of the varied and 
 excellent literature furnished by our own publishing house. 
 
 Tiie subject c.l tinanee wr cannot overlook without neglecting a pi \in 
 duty. Reports from the domestic missions show that the materii.l support 
 aflbrded the self-denying and hard-worked missionaries on these fields has, 
 in too many case.s, been utterly inadequate to the iifce.ssities of tlie case. 
 Both ministers ami laymen in our ("onference liave 'oeen deeply impressed 
 with this jiainful fact, and a scheme for a Sustentation Fund has been 
 agreed upi..<., which, if liberally respoiuled to by our people, will consider- 
 able relieve the siiuation. We commend this matter to your practical 
 sympathy, as we do also the various connexional funds of the Church on 
 belialt' of which an annual appeal is made to you. Remen>ber, dear brethren, 
 that we are not indejxMuh^nt (.'hurcli(!s l)ut Ji Connexion, in which the 
 highest etKciency can be attained only by the strong bearing the burdens 
 of <he weak, "..a si) fulfilling the law of love. 
 
 t^re this uiessage reaches vou the most of you will have taken leave of 
 your present pastors and welcomed their successors. It is well for both 
 pastors and people to se('k by God's grace to make such transitions turning 
 points from which a life of more intense devotion to God and aggressive 
 eflbrt shall date its beginning, liy the Li'iumted death of one of our com- 
 p ratlvely young and promising missionaries, liro. Cuylei', thi> first Meth 
 odist minister to ascend to lieaven from British Columl)ia, we are admon- 
 ished that " the night cometh when no man cuu work." Let us " work 
 while it is called to-day." 
 
 Tli> views oi' the Conference upon the great ([uestions of Sabbath 
 oliservance anrl temperance, as expressed in the reports of the respective 
 
40 
 
 MINUTKS OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA

 Committees, will be found to harmonize with the advanced position taken 
 \>f our beloved Church in all lands upon these subjects. 
 
 And now, brethren beloved, we "commend you to God and to the 
 word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an in- 
 heritance among them that are sanctified;" and we pray that this the first 
 year of our existence as a separate Conference uiav h^: to yourselves and 
 your pastors a year of unexampled success iu t;.. t\> '^ work of saving 
 souls, and that if we shall be spared to meet in .^ ; ■■ xinual assembly 
 we may have to tell of copious outpourings of tlie Holy Spirit, resultuig 
 in powerful and wide-spread revivals of religion, affecting all sections of 
 the country and all classes of our cosmopolitan population.
