(See appendices, pages 2b'), 251). 2. Presbyteries are ask^d to arrange meetings for conferring with the Moderator of the General Assembly, Dr. Campbell, regarding the Century Fund. (See ]>age <)4). 3. Presbyteries are asked to carry out recommendations of the Committee on the Life and Work of the Church. (See appendices, page 274). 4.

The following is the ( )verture : Inasmuch as the present mode of electing the Moderator of the General .Assembly has been found to be inseparable from certain results which tend to detract from ilio dignity of the Court ; And inasmuch as there are happily still living quite a number of those who luive occupied the Moderator's chair since the union of 1875 ; And inasmuch as these ex -Moderators, from the very fact of their election, manifestly enjoy the confidence of the Church, and on the grounds of age and experience may be trusted to know the fitness of brethren throughout the Dominion to occupy efficiently the Moderator's chair ; It is now humbly overtured by those persons whose names are herewith su])sciil)ed, that this Supreme Court order that in future the nomination of the Moderator of the iii.

The foUowiiiy is the Overture on the suhjuct : Wlifiriis e.\|)erienco htis shown that much of the time of the vJeneral Assembly is taken up in dealing with matters of detail, which could fully and more conveniently be dealt with at the meetings of our several Synods : .And whereas, acci idiiig to the procedure hitherto followed, casus are permitted to come by way of appeal to the General Assembly which might well be issued in one of the inferior judicatories, and with which the (Jeneral .Assembly cannot satisfactorily deal without unduly extending the sittings of that Court, and also involving the parties con- cern»> much needless expense. irefore, the Veneral)le, the General .Assembly, is Iiereby humbly overtured by tho Synod of Toronto and Kingston. That the i)ower of the Synods of the Church shall lie extended by conferring upon them the right of exorcising tinal jurisdiction in all matters of petition, reference, com- plaint or appeal coming from Presbyteries within their own bounds, which do not in'olve niatters of administration or f)f doctrine aflfecting the Church as a whole, or matters ot discipline affecting the ecclesiastical status of any member or oflice-i)earer of the Church. S. Presbyteries are asked to report their views on the Devotional Manual, ".Aids to Social Worship." (See Appendices, page .'Ml).

Dr.Cochrano, who, for twonty-Hix years was the honored Ciinviur of tho (/'onimittoo, and to whose untiriny zeal and wiNU adminiHtration niucii of tho success of tlio work, under God, is attributable. The Assenibiy tenders its heartfelt sympathy to tho widow and family of tlieir brother, commending them to "The Father of mercieH, and tho Ood of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our alMictioiis." The .VsHombly records its i^ratitudo to (jod for the measure of success vouchsafed during the year, and o.xprosses its ;^'ratitication at the largely increased contributions upon behalf of tho work ; the growing i mbor of graduates of our Colleges offering their services for the Northwest ; the opening up of so many new tields ; the continuous sui)ply— sunnner and winter — which tho Committee have been able to givo to the mission tields in all sections of the country, and the large accessions made to the membership of the missiim tields in the Western section of the Church. Tho General .Vssemlily expresses its ajipreciation of the service rendered to religion and morals by tho faithful and self-denying labors of the missionaries, and assures them of its sympatliy with them in their earnest endeavors to establish the cause of Christ.

To this end, the Assembly eurnestly exhorts all who are under its care faithfully to use the Ijord's Day for the holy and benevolent purjutses for which it ia appointed; and also, in the discharge of their duties as citizens, zealously to bear their part in procuring such legislation as shall ade(|uatoly jirotect the Lord's Day as a day of rest for the whole community. The Assembly gladly recognizes tho wise and helpful labors of the (Jntario Lord's Day Alliance during the year, and recommends that congregations, when they shall 6nd it convenient, shall make some remittance to the Alliance to assist in its important labor. On motion of Mr. D. D. McLeod, duly seconded, the fourth recommendation was adopted. Mr. !\. Murray moved, seconded by Dr. W. A. McKay, that the following recommendation bo added to tho report : The General Assembly recognizes with gratitude to God the growth of temperance principles i»; the Church and in the community ; also that this does not arise from in- croaai'd s.ringtncy in tho laws which deal with the tralHc in intoxicating liquor, but from the L'lilightoued Christian sentiment in the people on this subject. Tho General Asseml)ly roatHrms the declaratioh of former Assemblies, regarding the great evils arising from the li(iuor trathc. The Assomljly records its satisfaction with the response of our people to tho counsel tendered by the General Assembly in respect to the pleljiscite of Soptumbor 2!)th last, also that the vote on that occasion demands from the legislature at least some definite action in the direction of public prohibition, as the final issue, and urges upon all within its jurisdiction the proper enforcement of existing legislation, restricting the liquor traffic, and of working constantly and diligently toward prohibition, as the only adecjuate solution of this important moral and economical question. Recognizing the importance of educating the people, and especially the children and youth, in the principles and practice of total abstinence, the General Assembly reconnnends anew the plan of work sanctioned in former years. Tho hour of adjournment having arrived, the consideration of the question had to be deferred, and it was resolved to continue its discussion as the first item of business after the sustaining of the minutes, at the afternoon sederunt. Mr. Charlton gave notice that when the consideration of this subject is resumed, he will offer the following amendment : The General Assembly reaffirms the declarations of former Assemblies upon the temperance question, and recommends to Sessions and Presbyteries the faithful perform- ance of the duty of dealing with the ([uestion ; and to ministers in the Presbyterian [984] I £ i- SKMIU-Y ittion which lu Nentiinent ' he fo»rod, ill iniiking HioiiH of the [ircoH which it is {)ow«r- tho Lord's on Hnd the the (iuneral tlie ..do of 1-0 under its which it is ) hear their i\H a day of ario Lord's y shall find I important datiun was following eniperauce JO from in- but from General ^reat evils e response !Cb to the H from the IS the final )f existing tly toward economical icially the 1 General had to be f business sumed, he upon the 1 perform - asbyterian i»K Tin: IMIKSIIVTKKIAN <'||r|{( II IN ( ANAKA. 68 ^ Church, toHchers i'l Sabbath Schools and oHicers of Young I'uoplo'M Societies, flio duty of faithfully illlpartill^ instruction and advice upon the uviln of tntvmpcraiice, frum a relii;i active UNt> of all proper nieaim for promoting the tempeiaiicu cauHe, and exerting intiuoiice in the direction of temperance reform.

McLeod, seconded by Dr. Laing : That the (Jeneral Assembly i-ecognizes with gratitude to (Jod the growth of tem[)eranco principles in the Church and in the community ; also that this does not arise only, or mainly from increased stringency in the laws which deal with the trafHc in intoxicating iKjuor, but from the enlightened Christian sentiment of the people on this subject ; reconmiends that Sessional and I'resbyteries continue to use every means in their jjower to educate the people on this (juestion, and to seek the expression of their sentiments in such laws as will ade(iuately protect our country from the evils which tiow from this traffic. Mr. Charlton, with the leave of his seconder and the House, withdrew his amend- ment in favor of that offered bj Mr. D. D. McLeod. A vote being taken, the motion was carried over the amendment, and was affirmed as the judgment of the Assembly, and the numbers voting were recorded at the recjuest of two members, ninety-five voting for the motion and eighty-four against it. Dr. McTavish moved a further recommendation to be added to the report as follows : In view of the fact that we are soon to enter upon a new Century, and that the General Assembly have taken definite action towards the raising of a Century Fund in order suitably to mark the occasion, in connection with the work of our Churcii, the Assembly definitely recognize the supreme importance of an advance in spiritual life and to that end invite to special prayer and co-operation the entire membership, and especially the ministers and office-bearers of our Church, throughout the coming year, that a Committee 1)0 appointed, whose duty it will be to take such action as they may deem desirable to stimulate, direct and secure unanimity in such etJort. Mr. D. D. McLeod declared his willingness to accept this resolution and seconded it. It was adopted by the Assembly.

COMMITTEK ON .SABHATH OliSKHVANCE. Mr. J. Charlton ottered the following,' motion, seconded by Mr. H. H. INfacplierson : That, in view of the unusual inroads being made on the sanctity and integrity of the Lord's Day in Canada, and in view of the desirability of having the convictions of the Presbyterian Church adequately and effectively represented before the Government of the Dominion and Provinces, in co-operation with similar committees of other Churches and organizations, working for the preservation of the Lord^'s Day, it is resolved that a special Standing Committee be appointed to act as, in their judyment, occasion may require, in presenting the views of the Presbyterian Church, as expressed in this Assembly before those in authority in the land. AOKIl AM) INFfKM MINISTKKS KINH. The Assembly called for the Report of the .Joint Conniiittee on the Aged and Tntirm Ministers' Fund, which was given in and read by Mr. •). K. Macdonald, Ciinriti'r, who moved the reception of the report, and the consideration of its recommeudationa seriatim. The motion was seconded and agreed to. After discussion, the recommendaticms were adopted, as follows : — 1. With regard to the Re[)ort of the Special Committee jjresented to the Assembly of eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and referred to both sections for reply, your Com- mittee beg to state that, with the exceptions of Sections three and tive of the Special Report, the two Committees are in substantial agreement. 2. With i-egard to Section three, which refers to Rule ten, the Western Section Committee recommends a return to the rule as in force prior to the Assembly of eighteen hundred and ninety-five, under which non-ratepaying ministers would receive half benefit ; while the Committee of the Eastern Section reports in favor of the rule as it now stands, namely, that a minister who has not paid the ' nnual rate into the Fund shall forfeit all benefit from the Fund. Your Committee gave careful consideration to this, and now report unanimously in favor of leaving the rule as it now stands. .'3. With regard to Section five which refers to Rule fourteen, wherebj' it is recom- mended that the age for retiring be changed from seventy to sixty-seven, your Committee beg to state that in their judgment it would be inadvisable, in view of the present state of the Funds, to make the change. But, while expressing their judgment in ilus way, your Committee are hopeful that the time is approaching when the age may be reduced from seventy to sixty-five. Your Committee had also under consideration tables for deferred annuities, re- ferred to by the Convener of the Western Section Committee when presenting his report to the Assembly, payable half yearly on attaining the age of seventy, the first payment to be made six months after attaining the age, for twenty-five to fifty-five inclusive, based on a rate of four per cent, interest. After full consideration by your Committee of the proposals indicated in these tables, they were favorably impressed, and it is now recommended that these tables, together with full explanations, be prepared by chr- Convener of the Western Section Committee, and sent down to Presbyteries for cr ^sidi nation, with instructions to report upon the same, through the Western Section Committee, to next General Assemlily. Your Committee had under consideration a third matter, an Overture from the Presbytery of Victoria which was referred to it by your honorable Court. The Committee recommends that the prayer of the Overture be not granted.

While it is noted with pleasure that there is improvement in congregational con- tributions, the Assembly would press upon ministers and congregations the noed for increased liberality in the liope that in the near future, it may be possible for the aunuitibs to be paid in full, as provided for under the rules. Tiiat the Assoml)ly strongly urge the desirability of a connection with the Fund on the part of all ministers, whose age will not exclude them, and of a more active co-operation on the part of ministers both in regard to the ordinary and to the Endow, ment Funds. Tiiat Presl)yteries are urged to give a hearty support to the Committee in the eftbrt iiuw being made for securing the balance of the endowment, and that, as far as possible, the hands of the agent within tiie Presbytery be strengthened by co-operation and by givinu hini the use of the j)iilpits, it being understood that the prosecution of the {»ro- posed canvass sliall be in C(jiijunction with the Committee on the new Century Fund. That the recommendation in regard to ministers applying for leave to retire and go on the Fund ff)r benefit be approved.

This College, in view of the difficulty of tra- ..ig French students for matriculation, and of the transition state of .Mc(Jill I'niversity at tho present time, does not recommend the abolition of the Preparatory course. It is willing, however, to appoint associate examiners with the tutors in Classics and Mathematics, and to reciuire a pass standard of Hfty per cent. This College will have seven students in the third year of the literary course during next year, three of whom are French ; and in tho second year five students, one of whom is French. The Committee are strongly of opinion that the modified Arts' course should be adopted, but in view of the representa*-ionsfrum Montreal College, recommend : — (1) Th.vt special provision for French-speaking students be made by tho continua- tion of tho Preparatory course for such students. (2) That it be remitted to Lhe Boards of the several Colleges to further consider the great importance and desirability of all the Colleges adopting this course, as providing a uniform standard throughout the whole Church. II. As to the proposal to lengthen the course of study in Theology in each year, from six months to seven, in the different Colleges, the Committee recommends that it be remitted to the College Boards and to the two sections of the Home Mission Com- mittee to consider, (1) Whether the session should be lengthened in each year from six months to seven ; or, as an alternative, (2) Whether tho Theological course shall consist of four years of six uionths each, irr. The (piestion having arisen as to the desirability of making the Theological ■session from November to April inclusive, it is recommended that this also be remitted to College Boards, to report upon to the next meeting of the General Assembly.

Dr. Cod took him." .H the meeting of the Committee in March, loving testimony was borne to Dr. Cochri\ne',s character and service, and the following minute adopted ; "The Home Mission Conmiittee would hereby place upon record its sense of the loss sustained in the dc^th of the Rev. Wm. Cochrane, D.D., for twenty-eight years its honored Convener. " During all those years his interest never flagged and his energy never tired. Advancing years neither dulled the edge of his enthusiasm nor weakened his courage in facing an ever-enlarging field for wi.rk. The success which has attended our work of Church extension owed unt a little t(j his large outlook, his wise guidance and his h(jpeful advocacy of tiie claims of the newer districts. As its head, he won, and kept t() the end, the love and confidence of the members of the Committee. \''y his death we have lost a co-laborer beloved, the Home Mission lields and mi.«3ic>narii.^s a syi.ipa- thetic friend, and the whole Church an enthusiastic advocate, her Himie M'ssion work (jne wiiose eloquent apjjeals bore fruit not only at home, t)Ut awakened interest and called forth help from tlie sister churches in the Motherland. "It was characteristic of his whole life that his last public work shnuld be that of planning enlarged spiritual help to the miners in the mountanis. .May his removal in the very midst of his efi'orts for more effective work in the distant parts of nur land be aninccr.. ve, not only to every member of the Home Mission Committee, but also to ev> r ' .r;iul)er of our Church, ■ . ".e Committee tenders its heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Cochrane and the family in he sore a'Hiction which has befallen them and commends them to 'The Father of mercies and the f!od of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our affliction. '" It seems aj)propriate, in connection with the death of Dr. Cochrane, that your Committee should briefly review the state of the Home iMission work of the Church during the twenty-eight years in which it was guided by him. As the data is not sulKciently definite for the years prior to 1875, the comparison is made from that year — the year of the union of the Churches. There were then twenty-two Presbyteries in the NVestern Section of the Church, twenty-one of which were in the Pr.ivinces of Ontario and ',)uebec, and one west of Lake Superior. There were then under the care of the Committee i;>2 nussion fields, including -t)7 [ireaching stations, with 1-7 mis- sionaries, as also 8b supplemented congregations. The total revenue of the Fund in the year J87o-7,iri8 for .\ugmentation. The number of families connected with the missions and augmented congregations in 187.1 was 7,24.'), now it exceeds 20,40((. This statement, however, gives but a faint idea of the progress made in Home % 4 Mission work durin*,' these twenty-four years. Of the 1^32 mission fields that were connected with the Cliurch in 1875, 5!) have V)econie self-supporting congregations, two Imve l)een merged into other fields, .'M have been raised to the status 'f augmented charges, ."k" are still on the mission list, and two have ceased to exist. Since l3''5, otIO now mission fields have been organized. Of this number 9'.i have been merged into others ; 2!>7 are still on the mission list ; 58 have been raised to the statui of augmented congregations ; and 142 have become self-supporting congregations, so that there are to-day 201 self-supporting congregations and 1>2 augmented charges, which in 1875 were either on the mission list or had no existence. In other words, during these twenty-four years the Home Mission Committee has fostered and helped to self-support 201 congregations and raised to the status of augmented charges 92 missiiju fields, — all of whom are in their turn giving liberal support, not only to the Home Mission work of the Church but to every department of its work. REVIEW OF LAST YEARNS WORK. Your Committee are gratified in being able to report that the progress raado during the past year has been most encouraging, as will be seen from the reports of thi> several PresV)yteries, (1) in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, (2) in North-''Vo',tern. Canada and (3) in the Yukon (Klondike) District. ONTARIO AND QUEBEC PROVINCES. Another year of quiet steady work has been acconi^jliMiei in tKo Quebec Home Mission fields of the Precb . i ;/ of Quebec, and while many of our missionaries labor under certaiii ''.sad vintages in this Provn.ce, it is very encouraging to note the hopeful tone of the re!>o.r;f:i revived from the brethren in these outposts. All the Stations in the Pi-esbytery b.ive b< i fully supplied d'Tiag the year, and the work is now well consolidated. V lurger number of fields chan usual have been under the supervision of ordained men with excellent results, an(? the general outlook is brighter to-day than for some years past. Divine services have been on the whole well and regularly attended, and many have been admitted to the Church on profession of faith. We have eleven groups of missions comprising some twenty-six stations. To work these during the past year we have had a atatf of seven ordained men, one approved ■catechist, and three students, located as follows : — Valcartier, etc. — Rev. C. E. Dobbs. The people turn out in goodly numbers to all the services, many have professed their faith in Christ. Our missionary now occupies a new manse free of debt. Marlow and Kennebec. — Rev. .lohn TurnbuU.

Expended by congregations direct to mission fields within the buund.s of the Presbytery, !?."1U0. Two new mission fields have been organized this year. Kensington Montreal ^'-^^ been separated from Montreal West for the present and connected with Verdun, an entirely new station in a new and growing portion of the city. A building to serve as Church and Sabl)ath School room has been erected here at a cost of about $1,000, most of wliich has been contributed. Tlie other new field consists of St. Annus antl Valois, to which a student has been sent. Occasional services have been held hero during the summer but it is now proposed to give them cojitiauous supply. Tlie people of Montreal Annex are erecting a new church this summer to cost about S2,000, of which Sl,liOO has been subscribed. The older fields remain in very much the same condition. The tide of emigration westward is telling upon the ability of some fields to support ordinances. Although, in ■a number of instances, the missionary has succeeded in stimuladng the lilxTality of the people in a commendable degree, yet the increase has been more than offset by the amounts lost through withdrawals. An ordained missionary has once more been appointed over Farnham, which was very necessary as it is our only field in several counties. The following congreg;iti(jn3 have expended the sums opposite their names on the mission fields within the Ijoundsoron other missions of their own, in addition to their regular contributions for Home Mission work : 1. Crescent St. Church, Montreal $l,i;07.00 2. St. Paul's Church, " 1,42.5.00 li. Erskine Church, " 1,010.00 4. American Church, ^ '' 1,000.00 5. Knox Church, ' " 150.00 ().

Other Churches ....,.,..,,..,,,.,..,..,..,,,,,,,, 2(J0.O0 85,917.<"^ There are now twcy mission fields under care of ttome Mission Com- Gleilffarry niittee, viz., (l) E. Lancaster, and (2) Hephzibah, Williau' 'iwn. liesides these, Vankleek HUl congregation carries on and sup' work at The Ridge, etc. At E. Lancaster the year now closed has been most uraging. The new church at Curry Hill was opened free of debt. Sheds for ses have also been built there and all expenses were met l)y the people. 11 ptizibah Church, Williamstown, was formerly connected with Burns Church, Martintowi ^ hus constituting a united charge. At the urgent request of He{)hzi!)ah, the Presbyter jeparated it from Martintown, anc thereafter made it a mission station, securing for t-.i years from (Octo- ber 1, 1898, the appointment of Rev. Kenneth McDonald as ordai' . missionary. The Ridge, etc., is W(jrked by student missionary under oversight of thi session of Vankleek Hill congregation, and has iieen a in st encouraging field. The mission fields of this Presbytery are many of them in the midst of X)ttawa mixed populations — were it not for the support of the Home Mission fund.s they must perish. As it is they are centres of light and liberty, and not only maintain the spiritual life among our own people but exert a missionary influence upon the French Roman Catholics. W'e iiave at present six ordained mis- sionaries, and at least one field ready to cttuie upon the Augmented list. By the formation of the Isorth Bay Presbytery, oui i iission field has Lanark and been .somewhat curtailed. We have stdl, however, a large field Renfrew remaining, which has been operated with energy and a fair measure of ^iccess during the year. IJalhousie, etc., has been advanced to the Augmentation .status. Rocklifl'e, etc. — Never very strong in its Protestant citi- zenship ; has been so much reduced that it has been concluded to operate it along !■ ^.' il 6 with Chalk River for the present. Chalk River, etc.— This tield alati has sutl'ered l)y the removal of a number of our families. An onlaint'd missionary is main- tained here, and the people themselves do their part most liberally to maintain ordinances amonj^st tiiemselves, as also contributinj^ to tie schemes of the Church. \t l*oint Alex- ander .Station there was a debt of .S44 on the church, which the Presbytery has paid, thus leavinj^ the pe()i)le free-handed. This is a 'ery wide tield and most difticult to over- take. .Mice, etc. — Tliere is very little opportunity for growth here. The jieoijjo are putting forth an ell'ort to increase their contributions so that the missionary, with the Homo Mission grant, may receive a salary of !?<')00 and a manse. Statibrd, etc. — This field has made progress to such an extent that the Presbytery, with the ap))roval of the Home Mission Committee, has sent in an ordained man, and we hope that even greater progress may be made towards self-support. There are three churches in the tield but no numae. Ivillaloe, etc. — Is still in a primitive state, but we hope in time to establish a cause here. Calabogie. etc. — Has sufi'ered in a measure by the termination, to a large exient, of the lumbering business, and yet the people maintain their contril)Utious with conunendabbi faithfulness. I'.athurst, etc. — Here the work under an ordained man has become consolidated and well organized. They have good churches, and the IJatlunst section is i)utting forth an eflbrt to clear theirs of debt tliis season, when it is hoped the Home Mission grant may be somewhat reduced. Stone's Corners, North .\ugusta and Fairfield— On this Held excellent Bl'Oekville w(«rk was done by Mr. Ivannaione during the summer. The attendance at services increased and there was manifested a spirit of greater interest and heartiness in the work. During the winter months the tield was very fully sup- plied by .Uidents of Queen's College. Prospects are l)righteuing. Morloti, Lyndhurst and lOlb'sville Tliis Held is in a p os))erous condition. The people are working harmoniously. A very comfortable little brick church was dedicated at Lyndhurst shortly alter New Year. It is a credit to the place, and there is but a small debt remaining on it. The various stations did tiobly in both co!itril)Utions and work, and weio hel|)ed by several congregations in the Picsbytery. It is thought that this church 'ouilding will consolidate t)io cause there and greatly increase the interest. It is the desire of the tield to have, as soon as possible, an ordained mi< ^onary settled there. We have in all 17 mission tields in this Presbytery. Two have only Kingston onti preaching station each : live have two i ach ; eight have three ; one has four : and one has six. All told, we have 4)i preaching stations in our mis.sion group. There are 24 churches. 2 of them Cnion churches. Se- vices are lield where we have no churches in schocil houses or halls. Seven tields are under the care of ordained men, who are doing excellent work. These tields are greatly benefitted by having services .til the year round, and having among them men who can discharge all the duties of the ministerial oltice. Conseoon, etc.— Has been for two years under the charge of \)r. Begg, but he, having accepted in January (J8".M)) a call to a congregation in New York State, the people have asked to return to student supply, as they cannot raise the money needed for an ordained man. L'Amal)le — Has beou for two years or more under student supply, but in .January of this year the Rev. W. A. Stewart, M..\., was appointed ordained missionary for two years, the tield pi I'iiising §,?()() and a manse. St. .lohn's, Pittsburg — Has been for many years on the -Augmentation list, but when the I'jv. .1. Callaher, their late pastor, resigned, they a.sked to bo })ut upo'i the Home ^Mission list. This was done, and the Rev. .J. A. McDonald was ])laced there for two years. There is good prospect of improvement in the condition of this congregation. Ten tields are unJ'^r the care of student missionaries, mostly for the summer months only. Some of our tields have had ccmtinuous supply. Deaeront(j West End Mission — Has always had continuous supply, and other tields when we could secure a student for the winter months. Demorestville is our only self sustaining tield, but all contr-butc with considerable liberality. It is not easy, however to !ind out just how much Is given, as the people have irregular methods of raising money. lUit a good deal Uiust i)e raised, as we sek'om hear of unpaid arrears. Four Societies of otiristian Hudeavor are refiorted, and 'M Sunday Schools, most of which are kept open throughout the year. A new church was built in 181t8 at Coe Hill, and full provision made for the cost of it. Another was opened last .\iigu8t on the Indian Reserve neai Deseronto, costing over $800 and not a dollar of debt on it. N new church has also been opened on one of the Marmora fields, and steps are now l)eing taken to erect a church in Marmora village where our people have worshipped in a hall.

J)uring the winter months supply was given to fields within reach by the f^Mnen's Students' Missionaiy Association, and the ni're distant lields were supplied for three Sundays during the Christmas holidays by the same society. J'lach Held is visited once a year at least by some member of the Presbytery, when the Sacraments are dispensed. As to moneys expended by congre- gati(.ns direct to mission tields, it may be mentioned that most of the money expended in the erection of the church uted toward the reduction of the debt on the Lakehurst Church. There are no IVIission Stations within the bounds of this Whitby Presbytery and all of the regular charges are self-supporting, with the exception of one, Ashburn and I'tica, which receives aid from the Augmentation Fund. There are three Mi.ssidu fields in this Presbytery, two of whom have Lindsay uiade good j»rogress duiing the paf.t year. Sebright and I'phill, in charge successively of Mi. J. .J. Ilastie anc' A;'. P. W. Currie, has l)aid oil" ail arrears, opened two new Stations, aisd f;ices ti ' dture more buoyantly than had been dreamed possible two years iig"i. In Minden and Haliburton a vast and unwieldy parish has been etliciently worked by Ivev. .Jacob Sieele, B. 1>. This field is ap])lying to he raised to the .-latns of an augmented charge. The third Held, Coboconk and Kinmount, has sutt'ored I'lom removals, but has met its payments piomptly, and with the increased trade activity in the north country, will no doubt improve. ^^'ork was carried on in the foihiwing fields during the past year : Toronto Fairbank and FishervilJe. Malt on. Morningside, Chester, Kew Beach, <,)ueensville, Ravenshoe atid MacMillan 3. The .Missions within the city and supported l)y 8[tecial congregations are the following : St. Andrew's Institute, by St. .Andrew'?'. King St. W Sl,;!44 <»0 Elizabeth Street Mission, by Central Churoh...., ooO 00 \\ illiam Street Mission, Oy Erskine Church 4bytery, that of North liay, last July, and there ^ k 'ire now only twelve Mission Heids within our bounds, all of which have been supplied regularly during the past year, and with encouraging results. In the repoitof the Rev. A. Findlay, Superintendent of Missions, particulars regarding the work will be found. /l is not a year since the North Bay Presby:. ry was organized. It is North Bay formed from parts of the Presbyteries of Lanark and Renfrew, Barrie and ; Igoma. It containH within its bounds the Districts of Parry Sound .« and Nipissing and jmrts of the Districts of Muakoka and AIj,'oma. When the Presby- tery was orjianizod it contained throe solf-su.staiiiiiij^ conjijroyationa, two aid-receivinK congrej^fitions, and -.■ mission tii-lds. Six of those fields were supplied Ity ordained missionaries and the other 1!> were supplied by students. While all the tiolds were fully manned durinj^ the summer months there was i^reat diliiculty in ]»rocuring supply for the winter season. Notwithstanding this, all of the fields, with one or two exceptions, were supplied during the (greater part of the winter, and most of them during all the winter. AH the missionaries carried on their work with ccmimendable zeal and onorgy. It was made very laborious and trying by the severity of the \mst winter. It is |)leasing to note that in several fields considerable progress has been made, while in other fields, owing to the character of the country, growth is not possible, even though eipially good work has been done in them. The changes which have taken place in the following fields are worthy of note, l?yng Inlet has risen with a bound from a mission field to a self-sustaining congregation. This is mauily due to the Holland Emery Lumber Oomjiany, who have large sawmills at this point. They are mindful of their employees and have contributed liberally to the maintenance of (iospel ordinances among them. Rev. Thoa. Davidson has been called and will be inducted into the charge at an early date. Burk's Falls has also taken a step forward, having become an aug- mented charg. Rev. R. J. Sturgeon has been called and inducted. He is already making his iiifiucnco felt. The people are hopeful and the prospects for the future are bright. Magnetewan became vacant by the translation of Mr. Davidstm to Byng Inlet. A rearrangement of the stations connected with this field and the Dunchurch field was then efl'ected, by which an ordained missionary, with the assistance of a student, is able to supply both fields. This will mean a considerable saving of the funds, and it is con- fidently expected that the whole district will be more thoroughly worked than it could be hitherto. The field ia fortunate in having Rev. J. Becket as ordained missionary. Sundridge has again asked for an ordained missionary, and Rev. D. .Johnston has been appointed. There is good reason to expect that under Mr. .Johnston's care this field will more than hold its own and in the near future be transferred to the list of augmented " Tges. Temiscamingue is a new but very important district which is fast being opened up. (ireat numbers of settlers are moving into it and taking up land. Rev. F. E. Pitts was ordained last October and appointed missionary in the district. He is doing ixrand pioneer work. Sprucedale, owing to removal of families to the North- West and the intrusion of other Churches, has not been able to continue the supjxjrt of an ordained missionary and has asked for student sup[)ly. Sturgeon Falls is likely to become an im- portant manufacturing place, and it is hoped that the people here will soon ask for an ordained missionary. Depot Harbor — the terminus of the Canada Atlantic Railway — though only two years old h already a great shipping port. Here also it is expected that the services of an ordained i.uaaionary will soon be needed. No changes of note have taken jjlace in the other fields of the I'resbytery. In all of them good and deserving, work has been done by the missionaries. In the mission work of the Presbytery there is little change to report Owen Sound Sheds have been erected in the Lion's Head field, churches have been improved and the grant has been reduced by §26. We look for an annual reduction. The grant has also been reduced by a like amount in Crawford and Williamsford, and the Presbytery hopes for a gradual reduction. Considerable improvement has been made on the buildings in the Indian Peninsula. The Young People's Societies during the past year have more than met their promise to pay the students' grant, and it is exj)ected that at their annual meeting they will undertake to contribute a sufficient amount to warratit the Presbytery in appointing an ordained missionary. Mildmay and Ayton had the services of the Rev. John Davidson up to Saugeen January 1st, but owing to removal from Mildmay the field is again supplied for the summer by a student. Cedarville and Esplin has now Rev. N. A. McDonald, B. A., who is appointed to that field for two years. The Esplin congregation lost their church by fire, but with commendable zeal and liberality another' was soon erected which was opened on January Loth, and the missionary was ordained in it on the following day. Bethel and E. Normandy are now removed from the list of mission stations and erected into a pastoral charge. The Rev. .T. Gray Raid was ordainod and inducted into said charge on December 8, 1898. There are nineteen Christian I -in I tilt) Presby- niil-receiviriK hy ordiiinocl Holds were in procuring ivith one or oat of them uiidfvblo iceul jxist wii.ter. »do, while in aveii tiiough place in the ni !L niission and I'Jinery Iful of their ordinances the charge )me an aiig- i is already B future are Byni,' Inlet., ch field was lent, is able id it is con- han it could missionary, on has been his field will augmented eing opened F.

Of these the first two are supplied, and have been for a number of years, in connection with settled charges, the minister at Kockwood looking after the interests of the former, and Mr. Hamilton, of Chalmers' Church, Winterbourno, after the latter. Knox Church, Dracon and Metz, lie in an interesting district, and it was anticipated when they were formed that they would a(»on attain the status of a regular charge, but this anticipation has not been fultilled, and they are still on tha list of Missions. Their sujiply is by students from Kno.x College during the winter, and by one resident amniig them during the summer. Thoy contribute in full for supply received. Knox Church, Dracon has a comfortable church edifice, l)ut such has not yet been provided for Metz. Livingston Church, IVuleii, a village on the main line west of the this wo must hold what we have already gained. A rented house is not to ho hau, so that tho manse must he provided, in part, at least, or wo must step down. The fact that tho country is new ought to conunend it to the consideration of those more fortunat»dy situated. Work done in these newer regions always tolls on tho welfare of tho future. This district lies in what we proudly siieak of, in those days, as New Ontario, ('an we do anything lietter. in the Ijost interests of this important part of our Province, than to soo to it that gospel ordinances and gospel intluences are enjoyed hy those wlio are our fellow-citi/.ons in those newer regions. During the past term four settlements have taken place. ^Ir. T. Davidson at 1'yng Inlet ; Mr. W. J. McBean at Sudhury ; .Mr. A. Y. Hartley at Tarhutt, and Mr. (i. L. .JohnHt(Hi, at North Hay. The first and last menti(tned are solf-suiniorting charges, tho other two are under .Augmentation. Two resignations have occurred, the late Prof. Macadam from tho congregation of North Hay, and the liev. G. E. Lougheed from the congregation of \\'ebbwo(jd, Iniving been called to another charge. Forty live tields, comprising one hundred and forty-eight preaching stations, were supplied iluring the winter. Some of our tields were left vacant during tho entire season because it was impossible to secur.j supply for them ; others, through the extra exertions of neighboring ordained missionaries, received partial sup)>ly. This (|Uestion of winter supply is a larger and more important one than may at first sight be supposed. It will not be satisfactorily settled till tho (ieneral Assembly takes it up and deals with it in a manner becoming tho importance of the subject. T(j throw away the results of hard labor in our tields dui'ing the summer month^j simply because we have no jiroper methods of conserving tho.se results, should stir us ui) to di.scover how the work may be better done. To pursue the subject no further, W(.rking as wo are is simply not business. As to the Helds visited during the winter, and the work accomplished, I may note the following : — Tn October T dispensed ordinances at Whitney, and arranged the difficulty regarding tl'.o church property there, as well as it was possible under the circumstances. Our people there are very desirous of having service as fre([uently as possiijlo. Once in four weeks does seem somewhat infre(pient, though it ia tho best that can be done under the j)reseut condition of atl'airs. I was very glad to be able to keep up the service, even at this rate, in connectiijn with Algonquin Park. The territory opened up by the O., A. it P. 8. TMl., forms a very important addi- tion to our work in this part of the Presbytery of North Bay. During the coming summer wo e.xpect to have service held regularly at every station along this line, with two exceptions, from Madawaska to Depot Harbor, which constitutes the western division of thi^ railroid. As T had been compelled, through pi-ess of business elsewhere on the field, to ])as8 over the tields in the Presbytery of Harrie during the past terni, 1 gave them what atten- tion they rei|uired during the early part of this term. In turn the following tields were visited for communion, missionary and general business n.eetings : — The Kilworthy field, which, for lack of men, was supplied oidy partially during the term. The Franklin field, including four stations. —This field I rec^uired to visit the second time, as, owing to a storm of unusual severity on my first visit, I was unable to reach more than one station. However, during this visit I was able to organize a station at a point known as the Portage, whore service had been held for some years, but where (hoy did not seem to have .4 I n roiK.'i hwl the sUj^o fur oryniii/.iitidii until thu pri-soiit.

Tho IJalrt and Port Carling fields wore visited duriuf,' tho winter hy Mr. Dow of (Iravonhurst, an<'. the Port Sydney field liy Mr. Loith of I'.racehridiio. This completes tho list for this l'resl)ytery, all tho fields within tho ImhiikIh, rocoivinj,' supply, having' been visited. As many things rei|uirod to he set in order within tho hounds of the I'reshytery of North I'ay, a good deal of my time, during the term, was spent in dealing with those matters. Tho S' .idridge field first received attention. For a few years this important field wai a settled charge, under Augmentation. When it hecanio vacant it returned to the old position, under the caro of student missionaries. Lately, however, it has revived somewhat and asks for an ordained missionary. This re(|uest the I'rcshytory has heeii ahle to comply witii, sending them, at their re(piost, Mr. 1). .lohnston, who for the past year has been at .Sprucodaio. ( )n my visit to Hartfell, one of tho stations connected with tiiis field, they resolved to l)uild this summer, (iround sufficient for the cliurch, si^eds, and cemetery has been offered them by Mr. John Duke, one of their numiier. It is ,o Im' hoped thatour cause here will move forwjird when tho congregation gets into the new church, as for years tliey have been teaching after the impossible growtli in a school- houfcv'. This field, like many others in these districts, will suiter severely this year from the o.nigration of many of our best people to Manitoba and the North- West. In bidding them v!od speed in their new venture, we feel tliat tho loss of the Church in these parts will be the gain of the Church in tho west, as many of these people wo know will be found most earnest and zealous workers in the church wherever their lot may bo cast. My next move was along the line of the ()., A. iV P. S. R. R., west of Scotia .hiiction, taking in a missionary meeting at Kmsdale. At Orrville, the point on the railroad visited, there is not much to note in the way of improvement. Things are very quiet l ere in the winter ♦^ime, as elsewhere in these parts, this being the hn'-v time for many of them in the ,voods, usually at some di.stance from homo. At Ros^... which for con 'enience is supplied along -vith Orrville during the winter, I found the condition of our cause much better than foi many years. Everyone was hoj)eful, and as a result cheerful. Mr. Bell, who has been with them during the past six months, has evidently accun.plished a good work. The Sabbath School, which was practically defunct when he ;ame on the field, is now the largest in tho village. Since my last visit the church has been put in thorough r<>pair. It is now an iron clad, being lined inside with metal sheetin;!;, which yives it a very neat appearance. Outside it has been painted afresh. But better still, all this is paid for, thanks to the Ladies' Aid, while from the annual report we learn that they closed the year with a small balance to their credit. We hope soon to see an oidained missionary here again. I called at Sprucedale on my way out. to assist Mr. .Johnson at his first missionary meeting. It is a matte;- of regret to all who are interested in this field, that they have not enjoyed the prosperity which they hoped for. This field, composed chiefly of a farming community, sufl'tred severely from the frost which visited so many parts of the country last July. They .Sad hoped to survive the loss entailed by '..he destruction of much of their field crops, i)ut finally were comi)elled to give up, finding themselves unable to meet the payments due to their missionary. They part regretfully with Mr. Johnson, who won a high ph.ce in their esteem during his brief year with them and will content themselves meanwhile with the services of a student. ^, IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 ^ us, tA *- 1. 1^ 11^ I.I 1.25 I'i 1.6 v; .% ^.

US80 (716) 872-4503 f an ordained missionary, and each could not afford one for themselves, they resolved to unite for this purpose. By this arrangement the three strong stations of Dunchurch, Ahmic Harborand Magnetawan become responsible for the sal try of the ordained missioiiiiry, while the other four but weaker stations will l>e responsible for the salary of a studenr who has been secured to assist in working the uiii'ed field, the whole field being visiti-il by both missionaries fort- nightly. This arranuenn nr, it is hoped, will work satisfactorily, as it is the very best that could possibly be made for the successful W4irkii)g of this large field, and might, if successful, be tried in other fields. I next visited the field lying oast of North lUy, along the line of the C.l'.U., and which will hereafter be known as BonHeld. Here for the first time our people have enjoyed service during the winter 8eH.sa8toral charge, and that they be rankei im iiiniine as a vacant congrega- tion under Augmentation. This, on the whole, seein.s lo be tiie best arrangement that can at present be made in the interest of our cause in th.-s- oon.'regations. New fields will be opened this season at Michipicit n on rhe north shore of Lake Superior, and at Brule Lake on the line of the ()., A. it P. S. U.R. During the coming summer we shall occupy tifty-iiMi.' fields in these three Presby- teries — eleven o»'dained missionaries and forty-eight simleiits and catechists. Of the students twenty-ihree will be from the Missionary Associ ..ni of the different Colleges. Nearly §1, (KM) has bi'en contributed this year to the -. nes nf the church, which consid'M'iiig all ciremii-tances, is (juite as good as in previ n >• o--. \mong the contri- butions received may b( mentioned one of .^oO given !>> 'vo members in one of our Hamilton Paris Sarnia 13 sUtiuns for the Miners' Mission. This is a tithe of a salary of $500, and I mention it to show what may bo done, if there " be first the willing mind." The only mission field at present in this Presbytery is Port Robinson, formerly connected with Merritton. It has been regularly supplied during the whole of the year with encouraging success. Owing to certain changes in the city of Brantford, St. Andrew's Church is now removea from the mis8iniles. A Christian Endeavor Society was organized at each of these stations last summer, and they are reported as being of assistance in the work. Seven persons were received into full communion during the year, four on profession and three on certificate. On petition of a number of residents of the Township of Enniskillen, a now mission field was formed by the Presbytery. A suitable building has been obtained for a church and has been paid for, and a balance remains on hand for necessary improvements. With the approval of Presl)y- tery, the Students' Missionary Society of Montreal College will occi'py the field for the suumier, the people undertaking to contribute SIOO. The Petrolea Session has been ijiven the oversight of the new mission. The church is to be known as St. .John's Church, Enniskillen. A movement has bL-en initiated by the United Y(»nng People's Societies of this Presbytery looking towards the support of a Home Missionary in the North- West for a term of five years. There are no mission fields in these Presbyteries, the country being long settled. With a few exceptions, which derive assistance from the Augmentation Fund, the congregations are self-supporting and prosperous. The only mission field now within our bounds is that of Salem, Dod- dington and Gillies Hill, which is supplied by an ordained missionary, and which it is hoped may ere long become a self-sustaining charge. Stratford. Huron and Maitland Bruce i r NORTH-WESTERN CANADA. The Rev. Dr. Robertson, Superintendent of Missions for Manitoba, the North- West- Territories and British Colu hia, reports as follows : — During the year 185>8-1) there has been a decided advance made in Home Missions in Western Canada. In the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories, Breadalbane, Elva, Cypress River, Binscarth, Yorkton, Basswood, Newdale and 14 Lunisden were placed on the Augmented list, and Schreiber, Tarbolton, Beulah and I'ipeNtoiie, are HUpporting their own pastors. In the Synod of British Columbia, South Edmonton, Inninfail, Trail and Delta, became augmented charges. Shoal Lake and Oxbow are also calling and will likely have settled pastors ere this report is in type. At least forty more Missions are prepared to qualify under the regulations of the Augmentation Committee, and are anxious to call pastors of their own, but the Committee is not financially in a position to receive them. This is to be regretted, inasmuch as the development of congregations is arrested by such delay. The strength of the Church in the West to-day may with profit be Growth Since compared to her standing there at the time of th«» Union in 1875 ; the the Union comparison may help to show the wisdom of prosecuting with vigor of 1875 the work of the Church in new districts, in her own interests and in the interest of the large enterprises she has in hand.

Changes of this nature are inevitable from year to year as the vacant lands are occupied by incoming settlers or new centres of population spring up by the construction of railways. Churches were built at Nepigon, the Finland Mission, Ogilvie, Plumas, Churches Breadalbane, (Jriswold, North Portal, Fairmount, Solsgirth, Beulah, Built Caron and a manse at O.xbow — ail in the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territory. In the Synod of British Columl)ia churches were built at Clearwater, Loduc, Homewood, Goshen, Hod Doer, Willowbank, Mountain View, Ft. Steele, Fernie, Salmon .Arm, Cranbrook, Kolowna, New Denver, Nakusp, Fairview, Colwood, Sooke, and at Pincher Creek and Maple Creek manses were bought. A number of missions recently removed from the Homo Mission to the Augmented list have also been busy in building operati;)n8. Churches were built at Silvor Plains, Springhill, Olive, and manses at .Austin, Thornhill, llosedale, Holland, Lumsden, in the Synod of Manitoba and the Xorth-NVest Territories ;and in the Synod of British Columbia a comfortable and connnodious manse at Armstrong. Reports indicate that a number of congregations are freeing themselves Church Debts from debts contracted in the erection of churches and manses. In one beings Presbytery four congregations have wiped out their debts entirely, while Removed in other instances substantial reductions have been etlocted. It is to bo lioped that this movement may gather volume and momentum, so that missions and congregations may enter on the new century unhampered by an incubus that seriously interferes with the work of the congregation and the generous support of the Schemes of the Church. The jJrospectH are that extensive building operations will be carried on this season. The Church and Munse Building Fund continues to give largo help in i)uilding operations. It has helped already to build about 400 churches and manses worth half a million. The circumstances of the people are gradually improving, and the Conditions average contribution for thesuitport ()f ordinances rising. In 1897-8 the Improving^ average rate of giving for stipend in missions was about !?6.()8 per com- municant, while in 1808-9 it rose to nearly §8.00 per communicant. With more mature and acceptable su[)ply, $10 could easily be reached and in>iintained. The people of the missions on an average contribute about two-thirds of the salary of the missionary, and the Home Mission Committee one-third. Presbyteries arrange for dispensing the sacraments of the Church in Ordinances missions under the care of students or catechists, the sacrament of Dispensed baptism as circumstances may render advisable, and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper half-yearly or yearly. While attendance on the services of the sanctuary is general, and sat- • isfactory on the whole, yet a large proportion of adults are not in full Communi - communion with the Church. That there are only f),.'i44 communicants cants Few reported, and that (i.loO families, and (i.288 single men not connected with these families, are on the returns, will serve to show a low spiritual state. Nor is this state of things ceople makes it imperative that the Church should adopt the best means of feeding the ambs of the flock ; without this the strength and spirituality of the Church are threat- ened, and her ethciency is sure to be impaired. The number of missionaries available for winter supply was not ade- WinteP quate, and hence about twenty-three missions were, some without any, Supply. Aiid some with very partial, supply. The prospects for fuller supply, however, are brightening. Twenty-two ordained ministers and graduates accepted appointments this spring. The VVest requires young men — pioneer work demands youth and physical vigor. In many places it is ditticult to get a house, and facilities for education are often absent. The students of the summer session are increasing, and they continue to fill an important place. Accustomed to the country, well advanced in their studies, possessed of considerable experience and aptitude for teaching, they afford Presbyteries large relief when the students of eastern colleges leave their missions in OcLober. The importance of Western Canada to the Dominion is better understood now ; Ea.jtern Canada can no longer absorb the growing grist of graduates from spring to spring, and we may confidently expect a larger number of volunteers for the west. The hindrances to the progress of true religion are many and potent. HindranCBS. Everywhere worldliness and the love of pleasure are met ; nor is the social degeneracy met in older communities unfelt. In mining districts Sabbath desecration, gambling, drinking, and lewdness are the prevailing vices. Houe races, picnics and games in western districts are occasionally held, but Canadian senti- ment is against them. The strong arm of the law is invoked to put down gambling in its more pronounced forms, but yet it is very prevalent, even increasing, it is to be feared. Frequently prostitution is winked at as a necessary evil ; sometimes periodic ''raiding" takes place, which can scarcely be distinguished from a mode of licensure. Not unfrequently shops are open in mining camps on Sabbath, bar rooms and saloons doing a large business, and the breakers of the law unmolested. The absence of family life and suitable boarding houses greatly increases the danger of the saloon and the brothel. Under the influence of the Gospel, however, a change is taking place, and sobriety, honesty, and purity are sure to prevail in the end, for these are of God. To lode mining in East and West Kootenay, the building of the Crow's Mining Nest Pass Railway, bringing in cheap supplies and fuel, has given a Districts, great impetus. The population may be expected to grow, and the Church must not only seize pivotal points, but be prepared to follow the miners and prospectors to their haunts. The proportion of Canadians among miners, traders and capitalists is increasing ; a considerable number of them adhere, or are friendly, to the Presbyterian Church ; and the interests of religion and social order demand that picked men be sent to minister to them. Were more of our sons to qualify as mining engineers, instead of studying law, medicine, or even theology, it might be better for themselves and for the country. The Mormon Settlement in S. W. Alberta is growing. The soil is fer« Mormons tile, and insufficient rainfall is supplemented by irrigation. A company has been organized with a capital of half a million dollars, a canal sixty miles long is under construction, and on both sides of it hundreds of Mormon families are to be settled this season. These people are rapidly acquiring wealth, and are to be a strong and well organized community. Whether they practice their peculiar views or not they have not abjured them — but rather justify them publicly— and a steady stream of so-called apostles, prophets and priests from Utah and Montana do their utmost to keep them obedient to the faith. With the increase in numbers has come boldness, and they have sent out about twenty missionaries to different parts to propagate and defend their views. By many the tyranny of the system is being felt, and they are becoming restless. The schools conducted among them, intercourse in fuller meas- ure with others, the preaching of the gospel within their reach and the restrictions of the law it is felt will effect a change. A belief contrary to modern thought and ten- dency, contrary to the spirit and letter of the New Testament, placed under the ban of the law, however firmly held, is sure to decay and become an unpleasant memory. The missionaries laboring among the Protestant ranchers and farmers in the district are doing efficient service.

The most of the rest belong to the (ireek, Roman Catholic, Lutheran or Reformed Churches. There are over oO.lMM) foreigners, or 20 per cent, of the total population, in Manitoba now. Deputations have waited on representatives of our own Church, and petitions have been aent re<|uesting that missionaries might be appointed to labor among some of theae colonies. Home of their young men have, after examination, been ad- mitted to Manitoba College as studenta for the ministry. Correspondence has been alao opened up with Dr. Moody, the veteran Missionary of the Free Church of Scotland, a" Budapest, Hungary, with the view of getting a few suitaitle men at once to begin work among the more recent arrivals, and he has made recommendations which are under con- sideration. Tho Home INIisaion Committee has already made a small grant for this work. .\lready services are conducted in five languages among these people Work among by eight miasionaries,andat other points some work is being done through Foreigners interpreters. Five foreign nationalities are represented in our Theo- logical classes. At the observance of the Lord's Supper at one of our missions, hymns were sung in four ditforent languages, and all sang " Rock of Ages," each in his own language, but all to the same tune. Whatever the resultant of this mixture of blood and belief, the duty of the Church ia clear, viz., to leaven the minds of these strangers res'ding within our gates with the Gospel of Christ. A few features deserve special notice. When the Crow's Nest Pass Special Railway was under construction between four and five thousand men Features vere employed, and yet the Presbyterian Church alone appointed a missionary to labor among these men. liy all classes he was made welcome, the auperintendent of construction, in belief a Roman Catholic, becoming interested in his work and contributing $'''00 towards its advancement. From this work sprang the three promising missions organized at Fernie, Cranbrook and Moyie Lake. Frame churches have been built at the former two, and both missions will be prepared to call pastors in the autumn. While the railway along the Columbia was under construction last Illustrations autumn.a town of 1,4(M) people sprang up,and a missionary was appointed — here again the Presbyterian Church represented Protestantism. The place had only two communicants and yet the people contributed 810 per Sabbath. At Cascade City another town sprang up and an ordained missionary was promptly appointed. At Grand Forks — nov Columbia — and at (Jreenwood, missionaries have been laboring for years, no other Churches having visited these places until last year.

The excite- ment of two years ago has cooled oil', meatis of transportiition are being improved, lowering freight rates, and the exploration of this northern land, and tho digging, thaw- ing and washing of sand and gravel are settling down to the conditions of a regular industry. The spiritual condition of this western connnunity is somewhat ditti- Spiritual cult to appraise — spiritual processeH are silent, secret, and elude analysis. Condition To the credit side of the account one must place the fact that, even in tho busiest harvest season, there is a complete cessation of work on the Sabbath from tho Rod llivor to tho Kooky Mountains. Hut the conditions are ditlorent where railway constructicjn is proceeding or mining operations conducted. In the farm- ing and ranching districts in Manitoba and N(jrth-\Vo8t Territories liquor hinders the advance of Christiiin work but little. The satisfactory vote polled when the plebiscite was taken, very fairly reprosents public opinion. The li(|uor laws in British Columbia need to be madu more stringent, and they should be better enforced. Nor is it to the credit of the CJovornment that so many saloon licenses are issued. The treasury may gain, but the province loses by the present method. The li(iuor tratlic in mining dis- tricts is an unmi.xed evil, and calls loudly for restriction and suppression. But the temperance sentiment in British Columbid on the whole, however, is steadily improving. <^ianibling is multiform and universal. The red man, the yellow man, and the white man are alike undor its curse ; its most numerous victims are in the mines and in the towns. The primitive domestic conditions in mining, and sometimes in other districts, are inimical to social purity. These are ugly open sores that need to be cauterised and cured. There is hope in the fact that a healthy public opinion is being created, and that vice in grosser forms is being suppressed. It is to be feared that the family altar in some homes has never been reared, and that in others it is in ruins. Not one-half of our people maintain family worship. The attendance on the services of the sanctuary is general, and increasing with the improved circumstances of the people, and Sabbath schools are encouraged and supported. A large number of people of mature years, even heads of families, are unpledged co the living of h Christian life. There is little scepti- cism, and less infidelity, but much inditlorence— deadness. And yet people are generous in their support of Christian work, the general average being higher than in Ontario.

Dickey. The place is a l)a.se of Elorado supplies for miners; a town with a future is slowly risini.' ; a building for a church was l)ought and fitted up at a cost of .SI. 500, and our congregati lU there is gaining in numbers and co i-sion. .Mr. Dickey, in addition to his work at Elorado, has itinerated among tlie miliars scateied alioi^ tlu> creeks and streams tributary to the Klondike ; and liis self tl.'nyini,' labors li;\> c yicliU'd licii fruit.

Atlin Lake district is distant le.ss than one hundred miles from Atlin Skaguay, and comparatively easy of access; it lies within the Ixmnd- aries of I'.ritish Columiiia, and the Liws of tiiat provinco exclude aliens from mining, hence the miners are Canadians. Mr. Pringle, who labored hist summer and winter with such signal success i)etween (ilenora and Teslin, informed the Com- mittee that the people in his former '• parish" were leaving for .\tlin, and wished him to acci)m()any them.

These njissionaries fully supply the needs at these points in the meantiuje. But a secou'l missionary is uri^omly needed for Atlin, and one must he appointed to minister U> the miners scattered alon*; the guld-ljearin^ Htreams flowing into the Yukon. There soems a j^enoral concensus of opinion on tho part of those Permanenee better informed that tho placer mining of the Yukon may last at of Yukon least 100 years.

Wherever gold is found men are sure to tlock, and thei Church must follow the people and be prepared to make the sacritices needed to meet their reigious wants. The salvation of men's souls is tirst, the building up of congre- gations subordinate. It should be a jnatter of thankfulness to (lod that, from all sources, Class of the testimony is uniform as to the suitability of our missionaries for the Missionaries arduous work in that trying climate, their erticiency as ministers, and the large service rendered by them to religion and humanity. Ilesolu- tions parsed by congregations, lengthy notices by press correspondents, private letters, editorials in local papers, are all unanimous and unstinted in their praise. ];■' '< i STUDENTS' MISSIONARY S0CIETI1<:S. There is a Missionary Associatitm in conm^ction with each of the Theological Colleges in the Western section of the Church. Those Associations have rendered good service to tho cause of Home Missions, not only in fostering the missionary spirit among the students, but in conducting mission work in f< ity-three of the needier Home Mission fields, as will be seen by the following i)rief sinnmary : The society in connection with the Presbyterian College, Mimtreal, Montreal had missionaries employed last year in the following fields : — Conunanda, etc., Rutherglen, Killaloe and Tramore, Rocklifl'e, all in the Province of Ontario ; Lochaber, Bay and Cacouna, in the Province of (^)uebec. In the last n!,med field the work was chietiy French. The receipts of the Society amounted to §1,101.18. During the present summer the Society employed eiLjht student missionaries and occupy the same fields as last year, with the addition of Ken-sington and Verdun, in the immediatf cinity of Montreal. Under the auspices of this Association the following fields were supi)lied last summer : — Chelmsford, Hilton, St. Joseph's Island, Canoe Lake and Whitney in the Province of Ontario; F;iirli«ht in the District Queen's I^ rovince >>f of Assiniboia ; Moyie City, and I'nion Bay, both in the British Columbia. The receipts of the Association amounted to ft!l,,'i70 In addition, this Association contributed a portion of the salary of the Rev. Dr. J. Fraser Smith, Mhow, India. The Association, this summer, are employing eight missionaries, five in Ontario and three west of Lake Superior. This Society last suminer sent out twenty-eight missionaries, five to British Co'ambia and the North- West, one to the Temiscamingue District and twenty-two to Rainy River, Algoma, Parry Sound, Muskoka and other districts in Ontario. The recei|)ts amounted to $.'5,111.29. During the present summer tweitty-nine students are laboring uniier the auspices of the Society, chiefly in the fields occupied last year. Three fields were worked by this Ass'iciatinn last Knox one season, Manitoba ^^ Manitoba at Umatilla or Gilbert Plaint, another at Maryfield, Assiniboia, and the third at Beaver Lake, All)erta. The total receipts for last year were §1,219, including the amount received from the three fields supplied by the Association. f ■,1 / I " 1 00 MISCELLANEOrs. In last year's report, roferenco wiis made to an effort to secure Christian Klondike trained nurses to be .sent to the Klondike, under the auspices of a com- Nurses mittee of ladies in Toronto, in conjunction with the 1' )me Mission Committee, and the (Jeneral Assembly uxpressed satisfact.on with the eflort. ( )wing to a variety of circumstances, it was not deemed advisable to carry out the plan until recently. A letter was received in April from the Ilov. .1. I'ringlo, now in the Atlin district, strongly "rging that two trained nurses of approved Christian character be sent to that new district, and that he had secured a suitable building for a homo for these nurses. A meeting of the Executive was called, to which the Toronto committee of ladies was invited, when it was unanimously agreed to resijond to Mr. Pringle's urgent request, and steps were immediately taken to secure two nurses. It is hoped that before the AHseml)ly meets, two suitable ladies may be on their way to Atlin to undertake this work. To aid in meeting the expenses of these nurses, upwards of $1,0(J0 has already been collected by the ladies' conmiittee. NV'hile the committee become responsible for the salary, outtit, etc., of the nurses, it is expected that they will receive liberal remuneration from those who may enjoy their services, so that this work may not entail a heavy financial responsibility upon the Church. At last Assembly a committee was appointed consisting of representa- Uniflcation tives from both Eastern and Western sections of the Church, with of Work instructions to consider the question of the unification of Home Mission work. This Committee of Assembly met in February last and submitted to your Committee a scheme whereby the whole Home Mission work of the Church could be carried on by one central connnittee, while continuing two Funds as heretofore, one for the Eastern and the other for the Western section. After full con- sideration, your Committee, at its meeting in March last, adopted the following resolution : — That without entering into details of the proposed scheme of unifying the Home Mission work of the Church, the Home Mission Committee of the Western section is in favor of unification in the full sense of the term as the logical sequence of the oneness of the Church from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At the same time the members of this Committee do not see their way to approve of a scheme of unification which pro- vides for the continuance of two separate Home Mission Funds. At its meeting in March, the Committee resolved to place upon record Klondike its umiualified admiration of the self-denying spirit displayed by its Missionaries missionaries to the Yukon, and its hearty appreciation of the admirable manner in which they have represented the Committee and the Church at large, in positions of great importance and no little difficulty ; its grateful recognition of the value of the services they have rendered to the country as well as to the Church, and its thankfulness to God for all the physical and spiritual comfort they have been enabled to minister to those on whose behalf they have labored so assiduously ; its deep sympathy with them in the hardships and privations they have so cheerfully undergone in the discharge of their multifarious and onerous duties, and its earnest prayer that the blessing of God may crown with a still richer measure of success the efforts they are putting forth in the iiame and for the cause of Christ. A communication was received from the Home Mission Committee of Salaries British Columbia, suggesting a modification in the salaries of mission- aries. After full consideration it was agreed to adopt the following scale of salaries, to take effect from April 1, 1899 : — 1. Ordained Missionaries i Britislt Cuhnnbia.

Overflowing grac<. would produce ovorllowing liberality and our people would be made to feel that in giving to (Sod they never lose. Scattering for Him is always an increasing ; giving brings a giving again. i^ ' "Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise and share it with another. And through all the years of famine it shall serve thee and thy brother ; Love Divine will till thy storehouse, or thy handful stdl renew ; Scanty fare for one will often make a royal feast for two. For the heart grows rich in giving ; all its wealth is living grain, Seeds, which mildew in the garner, scattered, till with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy 1 Do thy steps drag wearily < Help to bear thy brother's burden ; (Jod will bear both it and thee." All of which is respectfully submitted. Turonto, Man 30th, 1899. ROBT.

Thp voll of preachers contained several names of men left without work a l;ir<^e part of the time. Of the six reported last year as on the roll, two have accepted calls and been settled, ^wo have withdrawn, and two are still on the roll. Ten were taken on during the year, of whom one has been settled, three appointed for a time to mission charges, and six remain on the roll. These six, with the two of the previous year, make eight now ready for monthly appointments to Presbyteries, to supply their vacant congre- gations. The number of missionaries placed for a year or more in mission fields, or scattered congregations that have become vacant, was large, being thirty-one, of whom twenty- four were engaged the whole year, and seven a part of the year, completing old terms or beginning new ones. These seven have all accepted calls and are now settled as pastors, five of them in the fields which they had occupied as missionaries, and two in other congregations. Catechists employed during the summer were forty-two in number, and in the winter two. Of the former, three labored in vacant charge- and four acted as assistants of settled pastors. Thirty-five groups of stations were ser\od by these zealous and faithful young men, who are preparing for the ministry of the Gospel. Were they not available, many of our people would be left without the means of grace. The fields in which the last two classes of laborers worked embrace over .'5,0)0 families and more than 4,000 communicants. The additions to the communion roll during the year were large enough to make a net increase of more than seven hundred. God has honored the sowing and watering of the good sued of His word by a goodly increase. Theso fields paid their preachers Sll>,019.10 and raised for the schemes of the Church S2,721.24. During the winter. Presbyteries gave some supply to their stations, from which the College SesEons called the student catechists in the fall. The Committee keep this matter before the Presbyteries, and, at their semi-annual meeting in the autumn, endeavor to secure from each Presbytery a promise that the stations shall not be left vacant. The best that can be done, however, is utterly inadequate, and the Committee will hail with joy the coming of the time when a sufficient number of ordained men can be had to supply all the groups of stations, and sufficient funds will be provided by the Church to give th^m a comfortable maintenance. For the liben.lity of the people to this scheme the Committee are devoutly thankful. Many congregations give handsom-ly year b^ year. The Committee are solicitous that they abound in this grace more and more. There is much need. There are some of our congregations that, in reference to this work, cannot be called liberal. They are niggardly— perhaps through ignorance or inconsideration — not through poverty. The Committee ask the attention of Presbyteries to the matter, and hope that repeated visitation of the negligent parties will cure the evil. Last year the Committee reported a small balance in fund, 812.(57. This year a catechists there cannot be much less needed than last year. For removal of del)t and expenses of administration $1,100 will be required, so that the Chuich should furnish at least $12,000 to leave us free from debt March Slat, 1900. Besides which, we ouyht to help the work in the great North- West much more largely than in the past. That new land is the common heritage of all Canadians, east and west. It is being settled at many points, and by various classes of people. These must have the Gospel or they will be a source of weakness to the country both in Church and State. Let us leaven them with the truth and save them for God and the Church, and our beloved Canada shall rise to true greatness among the nations. Attention is asked to the information in the tables appended. They will enable thri reader to answer many questions that may arise in hia mind. On the whole, the year has been one of progress, and the Committee are cheerful over the past and hopeful with regard to the future. They have a cause to care for and present to the Church, second to nc in importance, and which should awaken the warm sympathy and generous support of > /ery Christian patriot. .May "God bless us and cause His face to shine upon us, that His way may be known upon earth and His saving health among all nations." it ■J' Finances — Comparative Statement.

It was Mgreed to change tl'e date of the annual meeting from ihe fall to the spring, beginning with 1900 : the Execiitive only to meet in Octobf r. 1)S!)J» ; Synod- ical Committees to meet prior to the Executive meeting in Octobe •. and also prior to Committee meeting in ^Nlarch next. 3. The Remii anent Synodical Home Mis.sion Committee was considered : ''It was agreed that while Synodical Augmentation Committees have been found advan- tageous, the Executive express no opinion on the remit." 4. Rev. Dr. V';vrden, so long the eflicient Secretary of the Committee, an- nounced his intention of retiring from that position, and the Committee, whilst deei)ly regretting his determination, report the mattti to the Assembly for action. 5. The Committee re.solvcd to i ni.;? with the Home Mission Committee in recommending to the Assembl,\, that Dr. Robertson be relieved of the greater portion of his present duties in the superintending of fields in Manitoba, the North- West and British Columbia, and that he be api)ointed Superintendent and General Secretary for Augmentation, as well as Home ^Missions, givjig his time mainly to awakening and (iee})ening the interest of the Church in the work of both Committees, and also in co-operating with Presbyteries in securing, in Augmented charges, sy.steraatie plans of raising money for ministerial support. 6. The Executive expressed "cordial appreciation of the services of Rev. Dr. Kellock in visiting a large number of congregations in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa in the interest of the fund." The good results of such visitation justify the wisdom of the Assembly's recommendation of last year that deputies should be sent to visit congregations to urge the claims of the Scheme. 7. It was resolved to ask tlio Assembly's sanction for an expenditure, not exceeding $28,000, for the year 1899-90. The reports of Synodical Committees, with many interesting details of the work in various fields, are herewith presented : SYNOD OF MONTREAL AND OT rAWA. Dr. Kellock, the Synodical Convener, who had also visited a large number of the congregations as the representative of the Assembly's Committee, reports a growing interest in the scheme. PZvery where there has been cordial co-opf .atiou on the part of pastors and Sessions, and as a result, a signal increase in contributions, the advance reaching $1171, and tlie year's operations showing that this Synod, tliat in the past received more than it contributed, has given $900 more than it has drawn from the Fund. Such results accentuate the value of information given to the people and the wisdom of the Assembly in sending out .such a man as Dr. Kellock to supply the information. SYNOPSIS OK THE WORK IN PRESBYTKRIES. 1. PrcHbytery of Quebec — The Scheme is indispensable in the interests of evan- gelical religion, and has been signally blessed for the maintenance of spiritual life in a region where there is much spiritual death. Seven eoug.egations, all struggling hard to maintain ordinances, have been sustained during the year, and notwith- standing the strain of a continual exodus, they are holding their own well. 59 Q, Prcubytery of Montreal — TIkmo aro nine charges receiving grants, two being at present vacant. The Presbytery has sliown its interest in the Scheme by increased contributions, and througli visitation of congregations grants asked liave been con- siderably reduced. .)'. Prcubj/tfry of GU'iuiavrii — Sunimerstown is now settled, a small charge, not much hojjc of growth. .\i)itle Hill and (Jravel Mill remain nuu-h in same condition. Glen Sandfield and E. IFawkesbury is exi»i'cted to improve and grant to be reduced. Dr. Kellock"s visits have given a decided imi)etus to the interest in the Scheme. //. PreKhiftcri; of Otfaira — There are eight aid-receiving congregations Mijoying somewhat large grants. There is the prospect (hat in some cases the drafts on the Fund may be lightened. Considerable increase in contributions. '). Prexbyft'vy of l.anark and Frnfrew — There are four r.ugniented charges, each of which illustrates some feature ( f the service rendered by the Scheme. (1) Klms- ley. unheard of when Augmentation lu'gan. is now a well e(iuipi)ed congregation. KeHU)vaIs have checked growth but it is plucky and i)rogressive. (2) Dalhousie was one-half of an augmented charge. The other half is now a self-sustaining con- gregation and the hardy settlers in rocky Dalhousie are carrying it on to the same point. {?>) Eganville was carved out of a broad Mission Held for ]>rogress' sake and it is progressive. (4) Douglas and Scotch Bush, carved out of the same Held as Eganville is, and will likelv continue to be the little one of the Hock, but is doing well. I). Prt'shytery of BrovkviUe — The work has been varied and trying. Dunbar has been settled and is hopeful. Merrickville lost its pastor under sad circumstances and is weak. Bishop's Mills, formerly self-sus*^ .lining, has been much weakened and needs help. Athens, etc., and Westport are in good heart and both moving towards increase of contributions. Presbytery in. reased its contribution to Scheme. SYNOD OF TORONTO AND KINGSTON. Rev. Dr. Somerville, Synodical Convener, reports the following recommenda- tions : " That it be recommended to the Assembly's Committee that in cases \ here the annual reduction of fifty doPars in the grant would bear too heavily on some congregations and where yet a reduction may be reasonably expected the grant be made on a sliding scale for a period of two or more years." It is further suggested " that Presbyteries and the Assembly's Committee should make more definite efforts to carry oni the regulation anent small congregations by Hxiug the maximum stipend im ';;e^ cases at fGoO and that the same should be done when a horse is not requirec' SYNOPSIS OF KKrORTS OF PUKSBYTERIES. 1. Proihytery of Kingi^tou — The Presbytery's Committee on Augmentation has ]>leasure in reporting substantial jirog-ess made during the year that has just closed. The following figures .show results of a most gratifying kind. In the year ending March 31, 1898, there were nine congregations on the Augmentation list, and the grants paid them aggregated i?l,847. In the year ending March 81, 1899, there were seven congregations on the Augmentation list, and the grants paid them aggregated $1,010.50. Here is a reduction in one year of $38(5.50. It is not to be expected, however, that further reduction in that ratio is to be looked for, for in several cases, at least in the meantime, the maximum ability to contribute has V)eeu reach'.Hl. The Presbytery's Committee would have been glad to report increased contributions on the part of the stronger congre- gations. Here the growth is all too slow. 2 Presbytery of Peterboro — There have been no changes in augmented con- gregations in the Presbytery of Peterboro during the past year. The work has made steady progress, and the interest has increased, as shown in more money being raised by the Presbytery than in any fornu-r year. Good results were obtained by the issue of a eircidar for local distribution by the Presbytery's i'ommittee. (jO 3. Prr»byfrri/ of Whitby — No augmontc'd coiiffrogation. 4. J'r('nb:-;(rrt/ of LiiKlmif—iiood profrrcss has bi-t'ii iinule during tlio i)ast year. Huiidcrland and Vi'ooiiiantoii liavi' hoeii able to fiidure a decreasi' of ?5() in tlie grant. Canihray and Oakwood arc raising $100 niori' than iircvioiisly. One of iMe Mission liflds, Mindtu and Ilaiiiairton. is asking to be raised to tlie status of au augmented eliarge. .'k Prfxbj/fcri/ of Toronto — The work is in a fairly satisfactory condition. Con- tributions for the sui)i)ort of the Fund have been quite general, and, on tlie whole, reasonably liberal. We have ])een doing missionary work in the interest of the Augmentation Scheme wherever an o]>ening in'csented itself Last year we had elev'-i congregations on tlie Fund. Of these two have been removed to the Jlome Mi.ssiv.ii list ; two have become self-.sustaining (St. Paul's and Church of the Coven- ant) ; one has become vacant, and it is ex]tected will not re<|uire a grant when settled ; one. it is hoi)ed, will become self-sustaining during the summer, when the present grant ceases. There are only live congregations now on the augmented list in our bounds. Two of these, Laskay and Kglinton. are jn-eparing to make a reduc- tion in amount asked in October next. The amount recpiired for Dovercourt will certainly be largely decreased in Octobei'. The congregations are being visited by the Presbytery's convenor, and it is eonlidenlly expected that the amount retpured from the Fund will be diminished oue-half. a. Presbytery of Orunf/eville — Maxwell, ^Iclntyre, and Feversham settled since last rei)ort. (Jrant at i)resent SloO. F]xcellent work is being done, and they expect to be self-sustaining in the near futuie. Laurel and Black's Corners began with a grant of $250; it is now $125, and the prospects are that in a year or two this charge will be self-su.staining. During that time also a manse has beev tniilt and is now nearly free from debt. Waldemar receives $50, but hopes to be self-sustaining in a short time. Good work is being done here also. 7. Presbytery of Barrie — Seven charges have been receiving aid from the Fund during the year. One ofthe.se, Bracebridge, goes off' the Fund in June. Two have become vacant. One of these. Banks, etc., a most important charge, which was making splendid progress under the fo.stering care of the Scheme, has had a bad set- back by the minister accepting a call to another field after only two years' service. Last October, Angus and New Lowell, an old settled field, which had sufl". red greatly from removals, was ])ut on the Fund with a sma)! , i^-.nt for one year, the Presbytery ii\eanwhile putting forth every effort to muh? .iome rearrangement whereby it may again be made self-sustaining. All have beei\ vi.Hcil. Tu all cases the reports are encouraging. We hope to be able to nvke s light reducrons in the grants a.sked for next October. Special care has beeii takeu n i.i. est all the charges to contribute to the Schemes. The convener corresponded twice with all the fields, urging liberality to the Schemes, and especially that of Augmentation. As a result better things in this direction are promised for every field in the future. Altogether, the Scheme has proved an untold blessing to many congregations iu our Presbytery, and they could never have become what they are to-day but for its help. 8. Presbytery of Given Sound — During the year : (1) Knox, Sydenham and Holland Centre has been settled with a grant of $50 less than formerly. The Pres- bytery hopes to see an annual reduction of the grant. (2) Hepworth and Shallow Lake has also been settled, and there is a good prospect of the congregation being able to reduce the grant required. (8) Markdale and Berkeley has been doing excellent work, and +he grant has been reduced from xVpril 1st of this year by $50 annually. 9. Presbytery of sVr/^ff "ji — Thc:*e are two augmented congregations in this Presbytery : (1) Moorefi Id and Di.iyton. Rev. Crawford Tate was settled in this charge in September, ^896. Since that time a comfortable manse has been built. The people feel gr*.n.t!;, incourag^d by t>.e help they have received from the Aug- mentation Fund. ^2" Be hoi and Eiu i Normanby were only for a short time a mission station. Enf >^»':if'(//_Hii\vksvilIe atul liinwood is tlic only aufimented clmrjie ; very wi'ak. l)ut \n'\n-ations receiving' aid from tiiis fund, as follows : (1) Thessalon. I'nder Mr. VV'.C. .Ann- strong this coiifrrefiation niatle an advance last year. We lioi)e they will continue in this direction, leadinji, l)y another year, to a further decrease "in the amount rc(|uired from the fund, (l') Wehhwood. This con(,n'er a few years did excellent service here. The I'resby- tery has adoi)ted the sanu- plan Iumc as in the ease of Sudbury last year. They have united this congregation with tlu' neighboring station of Ma.ssey. which, thoiigh it r()frross lias Itcen made (luriiifj: the year. !Mouiit I'Icasaiit and JJurfonl wore on tlic lilst of Marcli it'iDovtMl from the list, liaving bcconu' self'-sustaiiiiiifi.

Frrxhjffcry of London — There are at present five eongregations on the FuikK Aitplieation is made to have a sixth, South Delaware and Tenijio, put on the list. This will come hef'ore the Synodieal ("ommittee in tlie fall. The lields are needy, and could not exist but for the assistance they receive from the fund. 4. I'ri'uhytery of Ch. It is expected that soon these will be able to stand alone. r>. I'rrHhj/tcrt/ of Sarnia — There are at present four charges in this Presbyttry receiving aid from the fund. Of these. (1) Napier and Brooke was replaced on the Fund witii a grant of !?")() for one year at the annual meeting in Octolier. It is ex- jtected that it will be tinnecessary to continue this grant beyond the present year. (2) Point Edward is jtassing through trying circumstances, and there is no likeli- hood of their being able to do anything more for self-support. They will do Will to hold their own. {•'>) (Juthrie, Plum Creek and Black Creek, con.stitute a charge which, \inder energetic pastoral care, is rising from the somewhat discouraged mood into which it lias falli n. A debt upon the manse jd'operty hampers .somewhat, but stejts have been taken during the year to have it extii,guished. When this has been accomplished, a substantial reduction in the grant should be possible. (4) Marthaville, luwood and 10th Line. This is one of the most laborious lields in the province. Three .services with a drive of 34 miles over roads which at some sea.sons are well nigh im}»assible — such is the Sunday's work. There is a Church debt here also, ^ut so admira' 'e is the work which is being done that it ought to be possible in the neur future to ho'jin the reduction of the grant on the principle of the sliding scale. Your Committee hopes to be able to apply for a reduced grant in the case of ""'umbers 3 and 4 after tlie next ai iiual visitation. (>. J'rexbytcry of Huron — There ,!ie three augmented congregations. The changes ;luring the year are : 1st. In the case of Leeburn and Union Church, Gode'ich township. Union Churih has increased their part of tho stipend by $30. The grant 1 ley receive now is ^loO. Arrears have been removed in the case of Leeburn. 2nd. In the case of (rrand Bend, they have agreed to increase the stipend by the sum of $50, beginning with Api-il, 181)9. so the grant asked for now by them is $200 instead of $250, as in the ,iast. The 3rd congregation, Bayfield and Bethany, do well to hold the'r own. There is little or no opportunity for growth. 7. Prrnbytery of Stratford — Tavistock has been placed on the Fund and receives a grant of $150. Ajijilication is made for r grant of $200, for Moncton. This will come before the Synodical meeting in September. 8. Pi') '>ytery of Maitland — Three augmented congregations. Walton and Pine River have made no progress during the '»ast year. The former has decreased somewhat through removals, and there is no present prospect of in crea.sed strength. Pine River is not likely to d(; more than hold its own. North Kinloss, etc., is on the point of being self-su.staining, and will, it is expected, be removed from the list after this year. The needs and value of the Scheme have been urged upon the attention of ministers and elders. 9. Prexbytery of Bruce — There are two Stations in this Presbytery that have received aid froui the Augmentation fund during the past year, viz : North Brant and West Bentinck ; and Southani] toii. Southampton has only drawn from the Fund for the past six months and at the time a grant was sought for it, hope was expressed that at the end of two years this (leld would be self-supporting. The present pastor was only ordained and settled over the charge in September last ; it remains yet to be seen whether these hopes shall be realized. So far as the other charge is concerned, there is little hope of its ever becoming stronger than at present. The tendency is rather to weaken owing to the frequent removal of families.

In addition to the twelve put on the list, at least forty more mi.ssions were ])rep<\red to (luulify under the regula- tions of the Committee, and assume the statu.s of congregations, but their admi.ssiou would bankrupt the Fund, and hence they must wait, To keep them waiting indetiuitely is to discourage — hope deferied maketli the lieart sick — arrest develop- ment and retard the growth of the Church. When will ou}^ht for manse; all stations helping; to meet cost, outlook jiromisiufj;. :}. Prrfthytcri/ of Rock Ldkr — Has three conjircpitions all settled. Roland and Killarney became self-sustaininj^ last year. Killarney built a handsome and com- modious stone churcn ostinj; ii^oOOO. Finished and renovated manse. (1) Thorn- hill — Is firowiufj; in strength ; manse costing S^UJOO, bought, and satisfactory i)ay- ment made. {"1) <'rystal City — Circumscribed in territory, growtli slow, good work done ; debt on <'hurches and manse being reduced, and congregation unable to advance in contributions for stipend. (l!) La Riviere — Has just called a pawtor, outlook favorable. ,'/. J'renhytrry of Glcnborn — Has tlu-ee augmented charges, two of which are vacant. St. laike'.s became self-su.staining last year. (1) Hilton — Because a Crof- ter settlement, which lies near the town, recpiires a Gaelic sjieaking minister. Mr. Gollan accepted a call to (Jlengai'ry Presbytery, and congregation vacant ; a Gaelic speaki' .-rathiate in charge. (2) Treherne — Prosjjered under Mr. Robertson, and he Avas called and settled, advanced from .$(iOO to S8()0 this year ; probably self- sustaining next >ear. (li) Cypress River — Recently placed on the list, average strength, but generous ; wiped otl" nearly $(iOO debt last autumn ; good congregation for earnest pastor. '. Prexbytrry of Portage la Prairie— The three congregations belonging to this Presbytery became .self-sustaining. Rosedale, Spring-hill Station, built neat church, no debt ; manse built at Rosedale ; interesting congregation. Dauphin — Building^ a church, town growing. P>ank'iii, (Jlendale Station — Moved church to central site, pastor settled, prospects bright. Macdonald, Mekiwiu, Arden and Bagot should be on the list. G. Presbytery of Brandon — Two augmented congregations both vacant. Doug- las became self-sustaining last year. (1) Elkhorn — Owing to an unsatisfactory crop declined financially ; lack of harmony in carrying on work and financial complica- tions caused pastor's resignation ; graduate in charge. (2) Bredalbane — Recently placed on list ; church destroyed by a tornado in 1897 ; new church built; prospects good. Hoping to be a self-sustaining Presbytery soon. 7. Presbytery of Melita — Two congregations in this Presbytery, both vacant. By a different grouping of stations, Napinka was united to Melita, and Elva and Broomhill went to form other charges. To facilitate the carrying out of the change, Mr. Omand resigned, both Melita and Elva are now contending as to who shall secure him as pastor. (1) INIelita — CJreatly prospered under Mr. Omand, is steadily- reducing its debt, but was kept back financially last year by a short crop. (1) Elva — A strong charge, should not remain on the list long. Arrangements made to build a handsome church. S. Prenbytery of Minnedom — The two augmented charges, Birtle and Shanks, in this Presbytery were vacant at the time of the last report. Both are settled and self-supporting. Newdale, Yorkton, Binscarth and Fairmouut, formerly Missions, placed on list, two have called pa.stors and two are vacant. (1) Newdale — Promis- ing charge, with numbers and territory to make future sure : a happy settlement was effected last autumn. (2) Yorkton — Present terminus of the M. and N,W. Ry,, town gi snnunei l.-vt-l. selllenu it siiee( earth — . placed part ot ctol>er. (IJ) liUmsden — Huilt comfortable brick manse and is ]>ros))eriiig ; somewhat against congregation that lirincipal station is distant seven or eight miles from railway station. SYNOD OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. In the Synod of British Columbia there weic nine congregations ou the list last year, three of which wei'e vacant. Huring tlii' year four were add''d : two were removed, Revelstoke and Cumberland, because self-sustaining, having eleven on the list ; of these five are vacaut^ — four of the number having been put on the list only at the last nu'cting of the Committee. These congregations contribute at the rate of $11.84 i)er communicant and recjuire an average grant of SlMIJ per congregation. SYNOPSIS OF REPORTS OF PRKSBYTKRIES. 1. Prexhjifcrif of Calyary — Has one congregation, MacLeod, aud Mr. Jatl'ray who supplied for a time was unanimously called and settled. 2. Prexbi/fery of Edmonton — Has two charges put on the li.st in March. (I) Innisfail — Mission organized into congregation, calling missionary who .sui)i)lie(l previ(msly ; steady though not rapid growth ; district important. (2) South Edmon- ton — Town growing and congregation with it ; Mr. Gallup, missionary, to be called immediately : future hopeful. 8. PreHbyfery of Kamloopi^ — Has four charges — one. Trail, receutly put on the list — Revelstoke, much to its credit, became self-supporting alter being on the list three months. (1) Vernon — Removed heavy debt last winter, is in good heart and hopes to bid the Fund good-by in October. (2) Spallumcheen — Is not growing, village and settlement stationary : congregation built comfortal)le manse at Arm- strong, cost largely i)rovided for; no change in grant. (8) Kasht — Congregation becoming consolidated and prosjiects improving ; grant reduced $50 last ^larch and $50 more in October. (4) Trail — Port of Rossland on the Columbia Piver, congre- gation not strong but spirited : has church and manse : vacant. The effect of hav- ing settled ministers is that cougi-egations are strengthened aud more interest is taken in the general work of the Church. J^. Prenbyfcry of WfstminHter — Has three augmented charges, one of which w as recently i)laced ou the list. (1) Chilliwack — Recovers but slowly from effects of the disastrous flood a few years since ; faithful .service rendered, aiul improvement expected. (2) Sapperton — Congregation suffered from calamitous lire in New West- minster last autumn, reduced in numbers and financial .strength; now vacant. (3) Delta — Receutly placed on list ; district along the Fraser near mouth ; charge promising though spiritual liie not active. 5. Presbytpry of Victoria — Cumberland has become self-sustaining, leaving only one congregation on the list. St. Paul's. Victoria — Victoria has a slow growth, Vancouver capturing much of the mainland trade; this affects congregation; St. I'aul's situated in Victoria West', not closely connected with rest of city, hence stagnation : faithful work done, increase in numbers and contributions ; church debt being gradually removed ; grant lowered about $50 annually. 3 <\ i 66 FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

ViUr-Marie {Lake Temincamingue) — This growing French colony is on the Quebec side of the lake. Mr. H. Joliat, student, was well received by the people and distributed religious literature and many copies of the Scriptures. Some of the priests called on him at the house of one of the settlers but would enter into no discussion. They began at once to denounce him as " a wolf" and ordered the jieople to put him out if he offered any t)f his bad books for sale. As a result the doors were closed against him and for two days he had to live on blueberries and sleep outside, when a family took him in. He discovered later that nniny New Testaments had been burned, but not all, "for," .said some of the peojde, "We still have them because we .said nothing about them." PRESBYTERY OF OTTAWA. St. Marks, Ottawa. — The faithful preaching of the Word finds willing hearers. There i.s progress. Additions from Rome are more than ofl'set by removals of I'ro- testant familie.^. The pastor says, "The congregation contiiuies generous, and spiritual life an'I power are developing among our families. The finances are improv- ing and satisfactory. The S. S. shows a decrease." Hull — Mr. J. Demole, student, labored during the summer but with small suc- cess. It is a hard field. Masham — Mr. St. Germain's faithful labor is producing good results. The school was taught by Miss Alice Doyle, who was also very helpful in the work of the mission. L' Ange Gardien and Perkin's Mills — By patience and fidelity, Mr. J. B. Sincennes has established himself aud his work in the confidence of the community. The future is promising. The school at Perkins' Mills was taught by Miss J. Condie (now Mrs. J. Sincennes), an English speaking young lady of high educational and missionary qualifications, and with excellent results. ', - I 111 !| fi ■ "i 1 1 M j» — Xiimiirnnd d. Lac — Mr. J. F.

In the mission school excellent work has been done by Miss I*er.side liourgoin. St. Henri — Mr. C F. Cruchtm, student, worked dilifteiitly in this field without beinn able to gather many into the Mission Hall. It was larfjcly a house to house work. The missionary was well received on every haiitl but here as in many other places the fear of man keei)s the i»eoi)le away frt)m the j;osi)el. The mission school was clt)sed because of tluctuation t)f the pupils. St. Charles St. Mimion — Is supported conjointly by St. Paul's church, Montreal, and the lioard of F. E.

Cratignol, whose zeal and devotion are taxed to their limit in the mis.sion school. St. Hyacinthe — There has been marked progress. The debt on the manse has been reduced. If it were not for this and $300 raised by the people, apart from $600 taxes, for the support of the school, this congregation would be self-supporting. Mr. Boudreau has gathered and trained a band of good workers, Chnmbly Canton — Mr. Boy is missionary and teacher and his house Is both church and school. Until a suitable building is provitied the results of Mr. Boy's work will not be seen.

La Jcune Lorctte — Tlie results of Mr. Tsicgei's work among his peoi)le tin Huron Indians, of whtmi he is a sub-chief, are being seen. The meetings held in his house have been largely attended and a mi.ssion school has been asked for by the people. .SVf. Sophie — The removal of three Protestant families has been sorely felt li\ the missionary, Mr. E. Curdy, and the two families that remain as well as by others whose sympathies and convictions are on the side of evangelical truth. The ingatliering apparently so near is thus deferred. The worker toils on assiucil that "in due season" he will reap. A7HH<'flr'.s3/<7/.s congrej:aiior., (Mr. J. M. Whitelaw, pastor), continued its pnic- tical interest by paying one half of the missionary's salary as in i)ast years. Ditfhfiehl — Mr. M. W. Byron, student, did good work ^during the summer. Th',' future is promising. A second scliool has been opened and it is to be hoixd thai b')th will be self-supporting. Jiam Nonl — The work of INIr. Jean Rey. student, was ajtpreciated both :is missionary and teacher. A large family from Rome united with the Mission. The church has been paid for. The coming summer the field will be worked with St. Sophie and a teacher provided for the school. St. Francis District — Mr. T. Charbonnel worked with much energy and supplied six places regularly during the .summer. In the fall he removed to the United States. A colporteur continues work in the field. Port au Pernil, etc — Little change in this field. The young people leave as they gi'ow up. The majority of the Protestants .sj)eak only French while they bear Scotch and English names. The field was occupied last year bv Mr. J. E. ]\Ien- ancon. Licentiate. Miss Janeway, of New York, and other summer residents at Murray Bay, aided the people of Port au Persil and the work by contributing about $120 to help j)ut up a mission building. The school at Port au Persil was taught by Miss Lillie McLaren aud that at Riviere aux Canards by the missionary for part of the summer. Lac St. Jean — Many settlers have gone into this district which is promising for the work of evangelization. ]Mr. 3Ienancon did good work here. Chicoutimi — Mr. J. L. Campbell, B. D., is missionary and teacher. The small Protestant community is Eiiglish and French. The Board makes a small grant to school. The work and influence of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are telling immensely for evangelical Christianity. Cacovna — Mr. L. Abram, student, was supported in this field by the Students' Missionary Society of the Presbyterian College, Montreal. The following extract is taken from its annual report: — "In the beginning of May I began work at Cacouna, intending to continue there until the roads would be passable ; but I was invited by the Catholics of St. Cyprien, thirty miles away, to come over and heli> them. After a whole night'sjourney in the forest, I arrived at the place, and found the people in a turmoil over a difiiculty they had with their Bishop, a difficulty whicli had existed for six years. They had asked for a church, but had not obtained their request. The people were now in a position to study, or at least to read the Bibles that Mr. Brandt and myself had left there some years before. The priest had ordered them to burn all the books they had received from us. A few, however, escaped the fire, and had been as a candle in that dark place. It was my work to try to increase and intensify that light. Forty men were present at my first meet- ing. Three of these took copies of the Scriptures which I gave them. (Jradually the women, reassured that I was not an infidel, or a railer at the priests, began to attend the meetings too. The work advanced apace. Rev. Mr. Brandt and myself 95 bui't 11 small chapel, and we were assisted in our meetings by Rev. Mr. Bourgoin, Piiiicipal of Point-aux-Trembles schools. It was gratifying to see the eagerness with which they were seeking the light, yet we cannot expect them to become models of light and truth, seeing these precious boons had been denied them so long. One vAt the word of God. It is especially these poor peoi)le who are settling in the bush without money and witiiout sufficient food that have greatest need of consolation and encouragement. How many times I have gone into a wretched little shanty to buy a loaf of bread and the almost unvariable answer has been, ' We have no bread.' Ah, it is especially in these humble lunnes that I like to rest, in order to revive tlieir hopes and courage at the fountain of living water, and to soothe their wounds with oil and wine of the Gospel." THE people willing. "I have had many conversations with Roman Catholics this month and could speak the truth to them in all liberty and freedom. In one house we were five, and for four hours I unfolded to them the Gospel. In another house we were twenty-five, and from 8 to 11 p.m. we were comparing the Bible with their Romish doctrines, and they have invited me to come again. I have in my visits discovered that poverty keeps many from our services," A perverse parishoner. "I visited some of the families who bought Bibles from our colporteur, who passed this way, and are reading them. One man who had bought a New Testa- ment was soon afterward visited by the priest and told to burn tliat ' Protestant book.' 'Sir,' said B — , 'I bought and paid for that volume and I mean to read every word of it or my name is not B — .' The good priest flattered and threat- ened, but my man is still reading and is seemingly not far from the Kingdom." evidences of enlightenment. " It is a pleasure to note in the.se parts that the people are becoming more and more enlightened respecting the Word of God. We were visiting a family living at V — , and they told us that their priest had preached against us, and told the people to put us out without delay and not to read our bad books. ' But, said the lady of the house, ' so long as a man comes in here, explaining his business and seems honest, I will listen to him and encourage him.' I have been en- couraged also by hearing so many Roman Catholics here say that the Protestar^^s have a good faith and must surely be saved. . . . How careful we Pi'otestants should be as representatives of the true faith! 97 .1 \ i '•As we go from place to \)h\co and villajie to village, it i,-* a ])leasure to see how f,'ia(ll.v some receive the Gosjk'I i)roiuising to read it attentively, altlunigh they know their priest forbids it. Others are indillerent, and others say they liave no need of these hooks. In the evenings we have often chances to sing and read and jiiay with the i)eopIe.'' INQUIRERS NOT KNCOURAOED. " I have been able to ha^e some meetings with .several Itcmian Catholics who are Avell disposed and will listen to me. A work of emancipation is going on in these people and many of them are seeking light regarding the trnths of the Gospel. . . . Dnring my conversations with them some of tiiem jirojiosed that we sliould go to the priest to talk the matter over witli him. JIaving been very well riciived at lirst, I was shown the door after the lew first words of discussion and luy i)oor Roman Catholic friends withdrew, very mu'h ashamed for having brought iiic to be treated in this way by their good pastor." THE TEACHERS TAUGHT. " During this month I have had some hard discussions with women who were •scliool-teachers before their marriage. They are of course regarded as the learned people, as you know, in our Canadian parishes. So their husbands, who are usually not learned at all, leave everything in their hands, and when they want to know any question they refer to their wives. " After explaining a point to one of these ladies, she answered that it v/as not the same in her Catechism. 'Oh,' I exclaimed, I know it, but your Catechism is not the word of God, it is only the word of man and made by the bishops.' She l)ecame furious at once, and seizing a chair and directing it at me, exclaimed, ' Get out, pagan!' I said, ' Please wait a moment, madam, and let me explain, don't get excited, you might become ill.'

It is with ii feelinff of dot'p fimtitude towards our Hcavoidy Father that wo coiue to draw the attention of tlie sui»porters of our Seliools to the encourajiing results of the past session. Two hundred and Hfty-one applications for admission were sent to us last fall. \inety-seven hoys and seventy-three girls liave heen admitted into the school. Among them ninety were children of Roman Catholic juirents. The attendance has hein as large as can he desired, considering the accom- modation, and this session has certainly heen one of the most successful ever held. The conduct of the more advanced pupils has heen remarkahly good. All those of the fifth class have ohtained one hundred marks out of one hundred for their good hehavior. The influence of such a class of young christians over their yonnger companions is very great and contributes largely to their moral progress as well as to the general discipline of the school. The religious progress of our pupils has been most encouraging! T, ng cherished errors and superstitions have heen given up for ever. Broader viev lake the place of their wrong or narrow conception of things, and gradually they come out of the night of ?gnorauce and with joy they smile at the pure light of the truth shining on their path. Twenty-six of our young men and women have given their hearts to Jesus, and have joined the Church after confessing openly His name. On the 26th of March, when the Lord's Supper was dispensed, seventy members of the Church sat at the Lord's table in our chapel. Among those who were convei'ted to Christ was an intelligent young girl who came to school last fall for the first time. N. I), belongs to a Roman Catholic family, but one of her sisters was converted at Pointe-aux-Trembles a few years ago. This sister, in spite of the hostility of her parents, used to write to them frequently inviting them to read the Bible, and to compare its teachings with those of the priest. The mother read her letters secretly to her father but carefully con- cealed them from the children. During the absence of her parents, N. D., having found her sister's letters, read them all with the greatest surprise, and she felt since that day a great desire to go to see her. At her first opportunity she came to Pointe-aux-Trembles and during three days she used every means in her poAver to bring her back to the Church of Rome. All her efforts were in vain, and at last she began to read the Bible in the absence of her sister. She had been told that the Bible is a most dangerous book, the source of heresy and infidelity, and great was her surprise when she found in its pages the teachings of Jesus and the story of the Ci'oss. A few months after she was going home when a friend warned her that her parents, iuiormed of her relations with her sister, had taken steps in order to lock her up in a convent. Our young friend took refuge in a Protestant family, where she continued to i-ead the Bible, and last fall she came to school and accepted Jesus as her only Saviour. The intellectual develo])ment of our pupils has never been pushed on more vigorously than this year, and the result of our teachers' work has been most grati- fying as well among the beginners as among the moie advanced. Thirty-three pupils who came to us last fall unable to resul, could read fluently and write pretty well when they left the school. The activity and the ambition of our pupils have been greatly stimulated by the monthly examination of every class by a committee appointed l)y the Board of ' i i'? !■ ' 'U . I ; '', 100 French Evangelization, and also by the cnoonragements given by the Association of the former ]nipils to those who distingnished themselves in their studies. This year the Association has contributed $40.00 for prizes and iJ^O.OO for books. t. uneven of our pujjils liave left lately to go and work in various parts of our missionary (ield as colporteurs and teachers, and eight of onr young men ari studying with a view to the ministry of the Church. Last fall it was decided to replace river water by well water. A well was sunk which has proved far superior for abundanc(> 'uul quality to all that could be expected. Our stafi' of teachers was composed of Miss L. Haddow, Directress if the ftirls" School, who was ably assisted by the INIisses A. Betrix. E. Bourgoin and A. Molleur, all former pui)ils of I'ointe-aux-Trembles. In the Boys' School, Mr. Brandt, wlm continues to take diarge of the more advanced classes, was seconded by jNIr. II. Chodat, a young teacher from Switzerland. The session was closed, as usual, at the end of April, by a public examination, at which were present a large number of friends of the Schools who expressed their high satisfaction at the results of the work accomi)lished this year. We could not close this brief report without exjiressing our heartfelt gratitude to all the supporters of our Mission Schools who individually or collectively have provided for our material wants so generously that we nave been able to end this session free from debt.

Rich, intellectual endowments, rare eloquence, childlikf simplicity, strong sympathy, and indomitable will, combined to make him the unique and outstanding personality he was. For twenty -live of his fifty years lived in the Church of Rome he was an active and honored priest, having received special marks of distinction from the Pope and the Government of his country. His forty years in the Presbyterian Church were marked by burning zeal and apostolic labors for the dissemination of the Bible among his French fellow-Cana- dians, and their emancipation from the bondage of Rome, which by experience he knew so well. Throughout America, Britain and Australia he has been heard as the powerful exponent and valiant champion of personal and religious freedom. His many literary Avorks have been translated into several European languages. He rests from liis labors and his works follow him. TRANSFER OP THE CHINIQUY MISSION. In his last will and testament the late Rev. C. Chiniquy, D.D., directed his son-in-law and sole executor (Rev. J. L. Moriu, M.A.) "to employ all his energy, piety and wisdom in maintaining the advance post of our Christian forces in the parish of St Roch des Aulnets, L' Islet County, District of Quebec That after the decease of my son-in-law this work be placed under the direction of a committee composed of the Principal of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, the Pastor of Erskine Church, Montreal and the Pastor of L'Eglise St. Jean, Montreal." After consultation with the pai'ties interested and concerned, Mr. Morin came to the conclusion that the will of the late Dr. Chiniquy could be best carried out by the Board of French Evangelization, and proposed to transfer the Mission to the 109 Boiinl. Tlu' proposition wiih ciirofully ('onsidcrcd iiiid aftorwanls ac('t>itt«'(l.

It is deemed most important that there should be continued and strenuous effort in furthering the aims of this gn>at man's life, and, therefore, it is earnestly rcijuested that all contriDutions and bciiuests for the supi)ort of said missions bo lurwarded to the treasu/er of the Hoard, the Rev.

Active workers and the public press were made use of to inform the Church, as far as j)ossible, regarding the nature and requirements of this great mission. The results have been gratifying. A large number of congregations. Sabbath Schools, and Christian En- deavor Societies in the Presbytery of Hamilton, were addressed by the Rev. Dr. Aniaron, of Montreal ; and in the Presbyteries of Toronto, Paris and London, by tiie Rev. S. Rondeau, of Quebec. Four papers were published during the year, and had a very wide circulation through the columns of the Presbyterian Record, and in pami)hlet form. The first, A Missionary's Reasons, was prepared by the Rev. M. F. Boudreau, of St. Hyacinthe ; the second, French Evangelization, by tlie Rev. E. F. Seylaz, of Ottawa and Hull ; the third, The Pointe-aux-Trembles Schools, by the Rev. S. Rondeau, B.A., of Quebec ; and the fourth, The French Protestant Movement, by the Rev. C. E. Aniaron, D.D. , of Montreal. A!' 1] ! ; FINANCES. The receipts for the year for the Ordinary Fund were $5,207 in excess of those of the preceding year. This was t)wing mainly to bequests. Tliere was also received from the Estate of the late Mr. Robert Anderson, Montreal, i?2,2oO, wiiich was i)ut into a special fund, because, according to the terms of the will, only the interest is available from year to year. As will be seen from the accompanying financial .statement, §3,330 were received from Britain. The revenue for the Pointe- aux-Trembles Schools is also considerably in excess of that of the preceding year. Cordial thanks are tendered to the friends in Britain as well as to the Congrega- tions, Sabl)ath Schools, and Christian Endeavor Societies, etc., in connection with our own Church for liberal support on behalf of the work. 1 / - 1 i'i' m g ■■. i i '-^1 i -^-i 1 f 1 lO-t Sl'MMAUV.

Kobortson has labored with unabated ardor, and his wife and dauj;hter who assist him are ecjually /eah'UJ. Their work is multiform. They are evangelists, jmstors, teaehers, patterns of eeouomic industry, in short bisho)>s of the whole life of that island. Heathenism has well nijth disappeared but tlie process of buildinji' U}» the iiomimilly Christian ]ieople into a stronjr, well balanced, self reliant, seli'ij;overned and self suijportinji' Church is necessarily slow, (ireat patience must be had with a race low in the intellectual scale, and sunk into the deepest jjit of immorality. lint the CJosi»el is raising them up. IMr. Kobcrtson has at work with him sixteen elders and thirty-tour teachers, the most of whom are sujijjorted by their fellow Christians out of their very meajrer earninjis. Over two hundred ccmnnunicants profess a personal interest in our common Saviour. They build their own school houses and jilaces of worshii> ; and i)ay for the printing of the Scrii)tures and other books translated into their language. The only industry, so tar, that enables them to cover these expenses is the preparation of arrow-root, which has become almost a drug upon the market and therefore involves an immense amount of labor, and consumes a great deal of time to secure enough to meet the demands of each year. Iir the light of this fact, their giving may well put to shame many in our Christian land who scarcely give the product of one day's labor to uphold the cause of Christ. treasured by the standards of liborality, according to their circumstances, of sincerity and fidelity the Eromangan Christians, according to IMissionary Eobertson's testimony, are not behind those of old Christianized lands. Years must elapse before nuu'h intellectual vigor and organized force can .show them- selves. Mr. Robertson reports : — We have had another year of solid work on this island and with good success, and in a few months we shall have been hi-entii-ncren years in full charge of the Mission of the Canadian Church on Erromanga, and during all those eventful years the good hand of God has been upon us, guiding and blessing ourselves and our people ,so that now this may be regarded as a Christian island. What the Sandal-wood traffic in its palmy days here could not, and did not do, uov yet "The (Queensland Labor traffic," (so called) with its presents (?) of guns, etc.; nor even the visits of many of H. M's ships of our excellent and noble Navy, nor of so many highly cultured gentlemen of science — what none of all these infiiicnees, nor all combined, did no; do, however just and good may have been their intentions, the simple mes,sage of the gospel of God's grace has done. Had the work been oin-a it would have come to naught years ago. SCHOOLS AT DILLON'S BAY. There are classes daily, Saturday excepted, for old and young at our principal station, and these several classes are remarkably well attended, and have been throughout the year. Our two daughters, with us, assist in all this teaching and each day in the week they teach a class in English. There are two schools for children also in Cook's Bay and Portinia Bay. Morning .schools have been con- ducted as usual at all the districts where we have teachers ; also, Wednesday prayer meeting and Sunday services and Sunday schools. Sunday at Dillon's Bay is a busy day, with ordinary senice, Sunday school, infimt classes and Bible cla.'.ses. We have now 40 children at Dillon's Bay in classes and in general training. Really the work among young people here at this head station is the hope of the island. I have a large class of candidates on Thursday morning myself. The Sacrament of the Supper has been dispensed four times this year (1898), and each time at a different place.

REPORTS FROM EFATE. Mr. McKenzie reports from Efate: — On our return from meeting of Synod last year we were not a little surprised to find lliat during our absence a very bitter feeling had sprung up between two of our villages. Mele and Erakor, which, had it not been for the (^'hristian spirit manifested by some from the latter village, might have ended in bloodshed. .i «l \ : ■(-."■ i I i!^ 116 A yoiuiji limn from Mclc wislu'd to many an Kiakor ^jirl and slu- jjavf lu-r consent without consultiiifj;. (In licatlu-ii tinu'H she would Jiavi' hci'ii j;ivi'ii away without iirr consent, lait now tlicy liave jfone to tlu- otlier extiTim-.) When lier friends lieard of it tliey at once put a sto]» to it. wiiieli pive olleiiee to tlie yoiinj; inan's friends. Messajies of an unfriendly natrre then passed between the two villajies, inereasinj;' the ill feelini;'. Then one (' ly in presence of a third l>arty, and one friemlly •(» Mele, an Krakor youiij;- man in a .sjtirit of hravado. said that lie was not afraid of anyone at Mele. His remark was carried to that village, and ma^iiiilied into a clialleiifie to fijiht, which aroused their old nature, for they had ahvi ,s been a lijihtiiiji iieople, and afraid of no other trihe on the island. They came u]> towards I']rakor in a hody. many of them armed, and findinji; an Krakor man on the path, a friend of the jiirl jiiive him a severe hruisinn. A jiarty of Erakor peoi>le tlieii. lu-aded hy their ciiief. went u]» to them and instead of trying; to have any reveiifi'e hc;;an in a kindly manner to reason with tlii'in about their conduct. This (juite disarmed the ^lele ])eoi»le and made them feel ashamed of what they had done, and the followinji day. the day we arrivt'd lioine. they came uji a^iaiii. hut this time with a present of mats and lijis for the Krakor peojjle as a jieace oHeriii^. We endeavor to induce the villajics to intermarry, and in some cases we succeed ; hut they do not like to see their vilhific decreasiiiji;, hence their aversion to fi:ivinji up their women. They f^ladly f^ive them away not only to men of nuother village, hut of another island, if they c(mie and live amon^ tlu in. The most important event connected with our work duriiifi the jiast year has been the erecting' of a new Church at Fila. It is of colonial wood, weather boarded, and has the roof covered with corrujiated iron. The advantafie of havinji' iron on the roof will he noticed further on. The entire co.^t of the material and of the services of the ^Mission cari)enter in erectinfi' it has been defrayed by the natives, i)artly in money and i)artly from the i>idceeds of arrowroot. Their own labor in carrying stones from a distance for the founda- tion. prei>ariiig two kilns of lime, Avattliiig and ])lasteriiig, was of course given gratis. They are very ])roud of their t'hureh and worked at it with a hearty good will. It is a conspicuous landmark in the harbor, the site being a very line one. At the opening we had a very interesting service, between 400 and 500 natives being present. After the opening service we had an entertainment for them, .something like a tea meeting, the first of the kind we ever held, and did good in fostering a kindly feeling between the villages. It also let them .see that in giving up their heathen feasts, they have not to give uj) innocent pleasures. Mrs. Mackenzie and her maids made a large (piantity of bread, and the women of the village made a large number of small jtuddings from yams, taro. etc., seasoned with eocoanut cream, which were sold at Id. each, or along with a bun and a pannikin of tea for8d., mak- ing a fairly good meal. During the afternoon the young people, the young men in one part of the grounds, and the young women in another, had a number of games, into which they entered very heartily. . My feelings, as I contrasted that scene with others I have Avituessed at this same village in years gone by, I shall not attempt to describe. 3Iy heart was full. To (Jod be all the glory ! AVe realized about £(> sterling, and the following day the Fila natives added £o more, towards cost of seats. The Sunday collections during another year have sufficed to pay the salaries of our native teachers. I am sorry to say that th re 'las been a falling off at scnne of the villages, but this can. to some extent, be ac -ounted for, and I am ho])ing that, as they realize their duty in the matter of giving, they will come uj) again. A quantity of arrowroot was prepared as a contribution to the Mission, but rather less tlian usual, owing to there being a poorer crop. The sum j'-'ven below as realized fnnn it is larger than usual, but this includes some of the ct 'butions of the year before last that was un.sold. In last year's report I referred to the great difficulty our peoi)le have lu pre- paring arrowrot)t, in having to go so far for fresh water, and being obliged to erect temporary huts, and these not being weatheriiroof their health is thereby injured. 117 \ : in future we shall he able to n'int'ut thr«'e or four more casks are still on hand. We have written to several firms in Australia ahout taking .sonu", hut the price they oiler will scarcely pay us for the trouhle of nuiking it. \ clieap arlicU". they say, i> juade in (Queensland and other places, and tlu' public not knowing the dillerence ill (juality, are not disposed to give a iiigher price for .Mission arrowroot. The Sacranuiit of the Lord's Sujtiier was dispensed twice, in May. and again in November. On the former occasion two were baitti/.ed and admitted to the ( 'hiirch, and six on the latter. One of these was an old man. who in his youngei' days was ii man of line physi(|U(>, but a proiul, dark-hearted man. and very nuu-h opposed to us in the earlier years of our work. F'or a ('(»nsiderable time he attendetl the can- didates' cla.ss. Some two years ago I thought of baptizing him, and told him be must remove his turl)an. which no one, Sunday nor week day. for many years had .seen him without, lie demurre and see if I would not baptize him. I sent for him and told him I was ph-a.sed to lu-ar he wa.s .so anxious to join the Church. But. said I, what about the turban? He did not rejily, so I knew there was a struggle in his breast with his ]tride. To any- one not understamling native cliaia"ter this may seem a v..iy trilling matter, but to him it was a severe test. I repeated my ((uestion. and he rejilied '•Yes. I'll itniove it," and he did, and was baptized on the following I^ord's Day, in the preseiu'c of over 400 persons. I believe he is a changed man, changed by (Jod's grace. During the latter part of the year the work at Mele has been especially encour- aging, as a number of young men joined the candidates' class. The teacher there, Solomon, bai)tizcd in infancy by Mr. ^Morrison, and his wife ]Mel, are worthy of especial menti(m in a report of this station. They are a most exem])lary coui)le, and are exerting a good infhunce on the ]ieople of that village, by whom they are liighly respected. Their house is a modest native teacher's house, being neat and comfortable. It ccmsists of three rooms, the walls being wattled and i)lastered, and tile ground floor covered with line coral, worn smooth by the action of the waves, over which mats are spread giving the house a tidy appearance. ]5otli front and hack there is a nice verandah four or five feet wide. The 3Iele natives seem altogether superior to the rest of the Efatese. I have seen nowhere in the group such interesting looking young people. At all the vil- lages there has been on Sundays, prayer meeting shortly after sunrise, service at !l.;]0, at the close of which there is a catechumen's class, Sunday School at 2 p.m., Bible Class at >i.HO. Then on week days, prayer meeting on Wednesday mornings, on the other four days of the week early morning school for adults, ami about S..SO for children. I spend a Sunday once a month at ]Mele. another here at Fila. and a third between Erakor and Pango. and occasionally one at Eratai>. Every third Suiiday T hold a service across the harbor for the English residents. Here I attend both schools, conduct the weekly jirayer meeting, i'ud hold a class for teachers every Friday. A good portion of my time is devoted to translating, as Mr. Milne, Dr. Maedonald and I have decided to give our ])eoi>le the whole Bible, and T may here mention that in i'uiure proceeds of arrowroot will go towards defraying cost of printing the same. \\\: 118 J)iii'iiig pari (»r the year ISfrs.

John Morton, D. D. reports : — During the year a severe cold kept me idle one Sabbath, for the first time .since my furlough in 1894. My two ordained assistants, Revs. Paul Bhukhan and Andrew Gayadeen, have labored with vigor and faithfulness. f^ !li '■ j ' j ■ j i 122 Sabbath Hcrvices liave been conducted regularly in twenty-three places, and occasionally in many others. In nine of the above stations the Lord's Supper is regularly dispensed. Except occasionally, and within a limited area, we find it undesirable to gatlier the people to central Communions. The more primitive mode of celebrating the ordinance wherever the j)eople meet for worsliip has many advantages. It avoids what is closely allied to Sabbath desecration. It is a great advantage to the agcil and t'- mothers, and it is a (juiet protest against the undue importance that is so commonly atta(;hed to sacred places. Fifteen week-day schools, fifteen Sabbath schools, regular Sabbath services and prayer meetings, Gospel teaching and visitation, indicate in l)rief the chief agencies emj)lo;,'ed in our work. The prayer meeting at Tunapuna lias been more than usually interesting and successful. The attendance and attention has been good. As the young peoi)le, who largely form the audience, understand English, we draw uj)on every visitor for an address. In this way Dr. Whittier, Rev. Mr. Eraser, and Mr. Clark of the Training school have helped us. Though not musical, the Hindus are fond of music, and the prayer meeting is utilized in improving the .service of praise to which, in Mission work, very special attention should 'u> given. Keligious instruction is given daily in our schools. With our Sa bbath schools we have considerable difficulty. The first day of the week being our chief opportunity for the adults, it is not easy t( pare our i)cst agents for Sabbath school work, and to some extent we have been obliged to do Sabbath school work on week days. From the fir,st of the year we will be using the lessons and helps provided by our own Canadian church, and we hope for improved results. Early in the year I spent three weeks in St. Lucia, assisting tlie work there, and in September, along with Dr. Grant, I visited Demerara in the interest of our Mission in that C'olony. Special reports of these visits have already been furnished. iliss Blackadder reports another year of successful school work. At her annual examination she took rank as "Very Good." Temperance Avork has been kei)t up, as a most important iireventive branch of Christian effort. Licensed rum shops are planted nearer to the people than any other agency, and even Mohammedans and better class Hindus who do not drink in India, not infrefpiently yield to the tem])tation. When they become Christians the temi)tation is increased by the evil example of Christians. Total abstinence we practice and teach as the only safe and consistent course. In this branch the entire work of gettting up meetings, with suitable recitations and magic lantern pictures, is borne by Mrs. ]Mortt)n. During the year 71 new members were enrolled and the Blue Ribbon Band now numbers (550. The benefit of this work, not only in safe-guarding individuals, but in creating a "tribal conscience" on the subject of stronu drink, among our Christians, is plainly apparent. Mrs. Morton, whose health during the latter part of the year has been un- usually good, has taught a Bible class of the more advanced children in Tunapuna scliool, taught the sewing in that school, bore all the care of the service of praise, nianaged tile work of the sewing teachers and Bible women, and visited in the homes of the people. This has been an immen.se help to me and benefit to mv field. With regard to the extension of the work, I have to report that in Maracas valley, where work began in 1.S94. we aiv now fairly well e((uipped, thanks largely to the liberality of the Messrs. Cadbury Bros. Our thanks are again acccn-ded to Mr. George Cadbury for a contribution of £100, and to Mr. Wm. A. Cadbury for £')0. to our funds, .Vt Las Ijomas, a cocoa settlement, the people determined to erect a place of worship. They cut and carried native wood, gave contributions and work, and the place was finished at a cost of over S200, of which our funds only contributed 123 • $!56. A notable feature of this movement was the fact that two Christian women stripped themselves of their silver ornaments to tlie value of over $18. and gave them to the work. At Ctuaieo, on the new railway, a building has been erected anle school house in place of our present rented hut. This, with their hel]>, .should be carried out during the coming dry season. I visited Cunuito, a cocoa settlement towards the centre of the island, last dry season, and only want of means and the precedence of other districts kept me from occupying that field. Another year should not be lost, for the place is large and growing. It is a question how long a man "jj) years of age, can be expected to overtake such an ever-extending field, besides bearing a considerable share of the work of a college. I ]»ropose just to go on as enabled of liod. But I ask the moderate addition of £")() for this field for 1899, that I may be able to meet in some measure, this demand for enlargement. There is no room left on my paper for reflections. I trust the readers of t'.iis report will find ample room for them in their own minds. \ 11 n Dr. Grant of San Fernando says: — Another year of service, without interruption or absence from our field, save a Aveek in Demerara in the service of our Church, is about closed. As a family, we have had good health, with the exception of Mrs. Ch-ant. For quite tAVO years she suffered almost daily, at times intensely, and finding that remedies prescribed ga\e only temporary relief, her medical adviser recommended a change. In June she Avent to NoAa Scotia, and the climate appears to have done for her Avliat medicines failed to do. It Avas Avith great reluctance she left Trinidad ; as year by year her attach- ment to the Avomen and girls of our mission was greatly strengthened; and to this I can truly add, unity of spirit and heartiness of co-operation Avith Mre, Fraser and Miss Archibald, Avho Avere engaged in the same Avork. In consultation Avith the brethren it was thouglit advisable that 1 should go home to spend the Avinter — as I prefer my furlough in the cold season — and decide if posijible, Mrs. Grant's future relation to the mission. We leave on ^Monday. As set forth in my last year's report, my Avork Avas more pai-ticularly in the town of San Fernando. In congregational work avc use the English and Hindustani languages ; the former witii thosi- taught in our sciiools, tlu' latter witii adults, most of whom Avere Ixu'u in India. The Sabbath School AVork has been strengtlu'ucd by written examinations, Avhich have been, on the Avhole, most satisfactcn-y. We aim at iiaving the young grounded in Bible truth. At our last examination, out of a i)()ssibk' lOO. theiiighcst made was 9(). several above 80, and few under 50. The Christian EndeaA'or Society secures most of the young. It is a valuable auxiliary. A conventit)n held during the year ditl miu'h to stimulate. The contributions of this Central Churcii, including Sunday Sclmol collections, Avere about $100 a montii. This sum does not include the sums received by Mr. Fraser from the many country stations. The training-scliool Avork is well sustained. As formerly I gave a i>ortion of time to it daily. Mr. Harold Clarke has proved a most diligent and successfu ')". !i r 124 teacher, exeirisiiifj; over the younj? incn ji moral and relifjjious hifluenee of the liaj)- piest character, an influence that will not fail to tell on th(^ young people who come under his care. I may here state that Mr. Clarke has done everything in his power to advance the he.st interests of the mission. Evidently the love of Christ constrains. As Miss Archibald's school is the practising school for the studen I so/' the train- ing school, and as it is immediately identified with the working of the Church I Avill refer to it briefly. It is carried on in Oriental Hall, the building we acquirtMl last year. The building is iu eveiy way suited to the grand educational work carried on within its walls. It is completely enclosed by a neat iron fence set uji this year. The examination of the school was on the 1st November. The Roll showed 230 pupils, of these 181 were present for examination. The i)ercentage of the passes in standard luimbering 105 were as follows : (1) Reading 100 ; (2) Writ- ing 98.71 ; (3) Arithmetic 9fi.6() ; (4) English Grammar 100 ; (o) Geography 100. The infants examined were 7(i, and in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Object Les- sons, and Needlework, were classed as " Very 'Good;" in Singing and Drill "Good." Miss Archibald has labored beyond her strength. She was aided by one teacher who obtained his certificate after a course of study in the training school, and by several young people who were formerly pupils in the Central school. An advanced class, taught by our eldest daughter, were presented at the Inspector's examination, and all passed. When the college was in session I taught three days weekly. This work is carried on chiefly in Hindustani, but as a full report Avill be given by the President, I need not here go into details. Early in the summer Mr. Norman Lamont and his sister were here on a visit to their estates, and were accompanied by Lord Cassillis. All of these paid us a visit, and it was quite refreshing to have the pupils examined in the Shorter Cate- chism, and iu Bible knowledge, by these distinguished visitors, and to listen to the suitable counsel given to the pupils of the schools and the students of the college. Our financial returns show oi;r continued obligations to the Colonial Company (limited). Sir Charles Tenant, Hon. W. S. Robertson, and others. This year has been one of peace, good will and hearty co-operation, with results fltted to encourage hope and inspire gratitude. for he they writtt wi're look Suudi r town mem The reach •17, ai of Bu luitioi friend is dut Rev. Wm. Macrae reports : — In looking over the work of the past year one can see unmistakable evidence of the Gosi)el leaven being at work, although not so effectively as we had hoped and prayed for. At Princetown the Lord's Sui)per is dispensed (piarterly, and half-yearly at Riversdale. This year, however, a (.'ommunion service li;i- been held in four other districts for the first tinie — Mt. Stewart, Lengua, Piparo, and Tabacpiite. For some weeks preceding each service, evening meetings Avere held, iu which, special instruction was given to both old and intending (communicants. This effort to bring all our Church members to understand more clearly the meaning of the ordi- nance, and to observe it more intelligently and reverently has not been without good results. Seventeen have been received on profession of faith, and so far all are proving faithful. Not much change has been made in our catechist staff, ilr. Soodeen has lost none of his well-known sincerity and faithfulness. The majority of the others are inexperienced, and therefore, fully half their time is spent under training. This accounts for the number being larger than that of the other fields. Our weekly class, which was regularly held, is intended to sui)plement the training of the College, and assist in prejiaiing i' '■ the Sunday's work. The schools were reguh',.iy visited by Mr. Soodeen and myself. Perhaps no phase of our work takes up so much time and gives so much anxiety and worry as the school work. It is so hard, i)articularly on estates and scattered districts, to retain children in school whose parents care for none of these things. Miss Sinclair has completed another year of very faithful service. Her school is steadily improving in tone and efficiency, as well as in numbers. It is fortunate 125 \ i lor herself and the other hidy teaehers that they have now a few weeks' rest, which they so very much need. Sabbath School work has also been vifjorously pushed forward. Quarterly written examinations were held for those able to write, while the youi.,5er children were examined orally. This necessitates considerable work, but we find it pays to look well after the children. No part of our work is more promising than that of our Sunday .schools. There are also four C. E. Societies in this district. The central one in Prince- town is gradually growing in membership and infiuence. Our books show a membership of 44, and for the last six months the average attendance has been 40. The others in the country are smaller but hopeful. At the beginning of the year a Boys' Brigade was formed, with the hope of reaching boys on whom we have little hold. The strength of the brigade is now 47, and the average attendance 28. In connection with the drill exercises a i)t)rtion of Bunyon's "Holy War'' was given, in short simple lectures, on which an exami- nation was held at the close of the term, wiiere suitable rewards, contributed by friends, were given to those showing the cl.'arest grasp of the subject. Much credit is due to Major Ferrerra for the success of this organization. A night class was held in the Central School, which was at times attended by fifteen adults. Both Hindi and English were tnught, the majority beginning with tlic alphabet in both languages. Evening classes were also held in the other sec- tions of the field, although somewhat irregularly. Three Bible women have given their evenings and Sabbaths to special work among women. In addition to regular meetings in the Central Church tliese women visit from house to house ; sometimes gathering a few women in a room or 'gallery or under the shade of a tree, tiiey then to the best of their ability teach a p/actical lesson. Our old enemies — strong drink and a desecrated Sabbath — still exist, and are working no end of mischief It is exceedingly annoying and discoiu-aging to find now and again one or more of oiu- Christian i)eople drawn into the .saloon, or forced by circumstances into Sunday trading. Temptations are .strong, and human nature, unaided by Divine grace, too readily gives way before it. On the other hand, there is much to encourage and brighten hope. Our methods of work are constantly being revised and improved. Our native agents, although lacking in enthusiasm and soul-thirst, are nevertheless, for the most part earnest and faithful. The lives of our Christian peoi)le w'ith very few exceptions, are sober and exemplary, and one and all are ready and willing to help in every good work. Hence the future pi'ospects, while loaning on Divine promise, were never brighter or more encour- aging. Rev. A. W. Thompson reports : — From Exchange Village as the centre, the work of the Couva District lias been pushed out in all directions year by year, as funds nnd men were available, until at last the limit of extension has been reached. The erection of buildings at Mount Pleasant and \rena, and the opening of a school at the latter place, fill uj) the last gaps and leave us no more gvuund to occupy, unless new villages spring up. With the close of the year the last stations have been occupied, so that from the San Ferando district on the s(mth to the Tunapuna district on the north, and fnnn the Gulf on the west to Montserrat on the east, there is not a village or settlement without a day school, Sunday school or Sunday service either in its midst or within very easy reach of it. Henceforth, all effort must be directed to make our occupation effective. During nine months of the year, ten-week day schools, — besides three Government sciiools, — to which were gathered East Indian children, — nineteen Sunday schools, twenty-four Sunday services and ten weekly prayer meetings were regularly carried on. The programme for 18!)i), adojjted since October 1st, provides for eleven schools, twenty-four Sunday schools, thirty regular Sunday services and ten weekly prayer meetings. i' ;? >i ! ■! ' A Ml * Mi i\ 126 Our aim i.s to avoid multiplying .services — not one more nieetinfj; is held than is necessary. Whenever possible, groups are gathered at convenient centres ; but this cannot always be done ; and at this stage of our work, in ful- fillment of the Great Commission we must go to the i)eople, not wait for them to come to us. " Go" does not mean "stay" or '' wait." The test of a successiul year's work is not the number of meetings held nur the nundjer of people who attended these meetings ; but the number of men and women and children who have grown in Christian character. Not meetings nor crowds, but Christ being formed in believers, men and women becoming Christ - like, is ihe true test. All through the year this was ever kept in view before our peoi>le and catc- chists as the thing to aim after — the one thing worth attaining unto ; and there arc evidences of " ciuickening" among us ; but we plead for the " showers of blessing." Some painful cases of discipline proved very trying, but have turned out for good to all and were real means of grace to those immediately concerned. Our Bible women acquitted themselves well during the whole year, laboring with zeal and much tact. This important work gains in interest yearly, and is full of promise. Perhaps only now are we coming to realize what the real problem of the work among the women is. Miss Fisher has ecnnpleted another year of work that needs no commendation. It speaks for itself. Besides her day school labors she gives much attention to Sunday School and Temperance work. Mrs. Arbuckle, our valued Sunday-school helper, was absent in Scotland during eight months of the year. We miss her greatly, and will rejoice when she returns to us again. The year has been a very trying one. Rains, frequent and long-continued, not only made travelling difficult but also caused much sickness. Repeatcil attacks of fever reduced the efficiency of our workers during the latter part of the year, and lowered the results of several school examinations. Schv ils were with difflcuity kejit agoing, and teachers were for a time hardly to be had. The manse family suffered severely, and the Mission Council, after long and careful deliberation, and after consultation with leading planters of the district, and after obtaining the approval of the Foreign Mission Committee, decided to remove the manse from Exchange Village to higher ground two miles eastward. This involves the forming of a new centre, but it sp' ms to be necessary as the only way to preserve healih in this district. While the manse is being taken down, and removed to its new' site, we are enjoying the hospitality of James Arbuckle, Esq, a Scotch planter, to Avhom Ave are deeply indebted for many kindnesses which cannot be specified liere. The year has placed us under obligations to many whom we cannot mention in a report but who have our warmest thanks. The contributions of the native Church show an increase of £65 stg. Rev. S. A. Fraser reviews 1898 as folloAVS ; — Another year with its iips and downs, successes and failures, joys and sorrows, has passed away, and I must now steal away into some qiuot corner from the people and try to give our Christian friends at home, in a few words, some general idea of what has been done in I^Oo days jiacked full of work. I am pleased to report that Ave luwe lost none from the ranks of our Avorkers by death, and the majority have enjoyed fairly good health. Assisted by tAveh'e regular catechists, and four others Avho giA'e but a portion of their time, the Gosi)el has been preached every Sabbath at tAventy-eight regular stations, and at a number of places where Ave haA'e no schools or churches. There are nine hospitals in this district accessible to all our agents, in some of Avhich nniy be found at times as many as from thirty to sixty i)eople Avho listen attentively to the Gospel. During the Aveek the catechists A'isit and teach the Christian people in their homes, go from door to door of the barracks on the estates, and from house to 127 r r' !,. liouse in the Junglfc. They come to Sun Fernando rej^uhirly on Fridays for inhlruc- tion and to report on their weelc'.s work. It is encouraging to see liow attentively they listen to the Word of God, and liow eagerly the most of them seek to know more of the truth. Their reports are copied by Rev. Babu Lai Behari into a l)ot)k for reference wiieu we visit their particidar (listrict. The missionary's time is so occupied by administrative work, and the field and work are so extensive that he mast depend largely on his catechists and assistants to direct him to those who wish to see him and to whom he can be of most service when he has an hour or two to visit any tlistrict. The Presbyterian Church of Jamaica, early in the year, earnestly appealed to our Council to send them a good man to work among the Indians in that island. We sent D. Cheddami, a catechist of this district, and a student of the College. In this way our College is training men not only for the work in Trinidad, but for missionaries to preacth the Gospel in other lands. School work has been carried on as usual in seventeen schools by forty-eight U'lichers and assistants. Twelve schools are Government assisted, and we expect to get assistance for two more from the first of January, which will be a r'.lief finan- cially, and enable us to wipe out our existing debt more «iuickly. Our Training Scliool is gradually sui)plyiug a long-felt need for efficient native teachers, o ) that our schools are year by year improving in efficiency. The test of the ])rogrcss made in secular work is the Government Inspector's written examination, and our schools iuive received a high merit mark. Pan Fernando school, under Miss Archibald's faithful labors, was exceptionally good. The number of pupils on the Roll in our schools is 1,366 — boys 986, girls 430; daily average 7o7. The average is a little below last year, because of Tabaquite school being handed over to Princestown dis- trict, and the prevalence of sickness among the children. Three quarters of an hour every day is given to religious instruction by the teachers or catechists, which is Very im})ortant, as many of the children cannot be got into the Sabbath school. Some of our teachers are very miu'h in earnest in teaching the childreai Scripture truth. As a result, a number of bright boys are anxious to be baptized, but they are kept back T)y their heathen parents. I am pleased to find that three of our teachers are anxious to become catechists, and are now preparing themselves, as far as possible, for that work, although they know their sabny will be less than at present. This is lu)peful. We will, aft jr a time, no doubt, want a class of catechists better educaterimary schools, but our vacations are longer. The students came into residence from Monday till Friday each alternate week, and were at Mission work in their res|)ective districts during the rest of their time. The subjects were those of tiie first year's course. Tlu^ President and Dr. Grant taught two days each in the week, and Lai lieliari one, taking their resjx'.ct- ive subjects as in former years. The conduct of the students was good. Their capacity and industry varied. Some, notably two of the Writer caste, and two others who had been educated in India, kejtt with ease abreast of all the work, and if they cultivate their Christian graces in like measure, will be heard of later as very valuable workers. One whose advantages had been small, and who passed through the fires of persecution when he became a Christian, gave full proof of hi.s diligence, and made excellent progress. One or two sutt'ered either from indolence or undeveloped mental faculties. When competition with others and the disci- pline of regular teaching fails to awaken and develop a student, he must give place to others. In the class this year then^ has been an evident earnestness and depth of religious feeling which, on several occasions, and in all classes, was mani- fested in the tears running down some of the students' cheeks. The accounts for the year show a credit balance of $305.99. This is the result of severe economy, as we wish er^i long to replace the present worn out residence, without drawing more heavily from the Church in Canada. We estimate the amount required for the College in 1899 at £125, the same as in past years. DEMARARA. Rev. J. B. Cropper reports : — The pa.st year has brought no relief from, the burden of depression which has weighed so heavily on the Colony for some years pa.st. Circumstances, however, seem to justify the hopefulness of the optimists as to the future of the Colony. As a result of the Report of the Royal Commission and of the agitation in Britain over the West Indian problem, the needs of the Colonies have been brought before the British public, and although the relief may not be in the direction desired by many, nor as speedy and hearty as hoped for by others, yet the prospect of improvement in the agricultural condition of these Colonies is decidedly bright- ening. In this Colony during the year there have been some changes in the ownership of properties, but there has been no diminution in cultivation or with- drawal of capital. This has 'i very important bearing on our work in this ]>Iission, and particularly the branch in this colony. For with the success of the sugar industry there will not only be the prosperity of the people in whom we are inter- ested, but also the continued introduction from India of the people among whom our work lies. WEST INDIAN SECTION. This division of tae work — a division that does not exist in Trinidad — does not exhibit much growth. The attendance on the Sabbath Services, however, continues to improve, and that on the midweek services has maintained the im- provement gained over that of the previous year. There have been a great many wet Sabbaths, and on these the attendance has been sjnall. There is a great lack of earnestness on the part of the people, and a painful absence of any sense of 5 1 \ i ! ■ i 1 ■i b ^ f V tr, I i:iO if w'.?^ resjionsihility. Tho si)iritual toiio is low and tho moral senst' is bluntotl. This rs tlu' condition of practically the whole j)coj)U' of the colony. Tho Sahhath School dei)artnient, as reported last year, is very weak ; the attendance of children has continued to fall oH". The amount of the weekly oHer- injis was $10 less than that of the ])revious year, but the conj?rejj;ation paid a small sum towards the work of the mission, besides sendiufj; aid to the sufferers by the hurricane in the islands, and jtrovidinjj; themselves with copies of tho Book of Praise. Many mijiht contribute more than they do ; but a few fj;ivo of their poverty liberally. One poor old voman who j^ets sixteen cents a *siouiiiy of tin- l'r»'Ml>\tfriau Cliurch l'. S.

On .\oveml»ei' Nth it was anain my privilege to take a trip with the ohh'st ami I'crhaps the most siu-cessful of all the missionaries in this land. Dr. I'lider- wood. This tinu' Sorai was iuchuU'd in the plueeH visited, and my wife and Mi". Mucrae fornu-d |)art of the missionary hand. We were away from Seoul for live weekn. We sj)ent about five days in Sorai, our eyes gladdened by a sijfht of the luxuriant soul harvest which has followed McKenzie's labors, aiul it was my privilege to adnunister the rite of baptism to ten new conunuiucauts. About sixteen days w< re spent at Hai Ju training a thecdogical class of "JO leaders in Christian work, who came from country villages and towns, including seven nu-n from Sorai, and daily evangelistic meetings were held in public j)art« of the city. I was enabled to assist in the musical trainir.g of the cla.ss, and in the pid)lie and ojten air services by leading the singing with my co'Miet. We reached Seoul again on Dec. ITtli and spent the remainder of tluj year in preparing to go to Wonsan, and in language study. On bcth of the trips above nu'ntit)ned, as well uh during my iirst residence in Seoul, I was able to do some small amount of medical and surgical work, treating in all about lifty. 'My main labor in Korea has been language study, and medical work has only been doiu' when it could luit be refused. The trips into the country have not interfered with accpiisition of the tongue, but have rather contributed to more rapid advancement, especially as they gave me the benefit of Dr. Underwood's help and advice. I feel also, that as it was necessary to show ourselves to the Sorai Church, and necessary to learn the ways of itinerating which in Korea is considered the most useful mission method, our long tour will commend it.self to the approval of the Board. Rev. D. ]\Iaorae reports : — I am glad to say that my health has been good since coming here. I have spent seven weeks out of three montlis itinerating. I had the pleasure of accompanying Dr. Underwood on one of his missionary tours for five weeks, and I trust profitably. I have seen a great deal of the province of Whang-Hai, up as far as Sorai. To me it represents a province that will in a few years be wholl'- self supporting and under settled pastors. It is an ideal country with the richest soil I ever saw. Yoa might turn your garden shovel in almost anywhere, aud without labor sow your garden seed ; strong, rich, mellow soil. So rapidly is the Christian work spreading of itself that the present force of missionaries is unable to overtake it. The natives carry on the work, build (churches, and go out preaching and evangelizing without one cent of remuneration. The scene of McKenzie's labors is, I venture to say, one of the brightest spots in the heathen world, and stands to-day as the banner province in Korea, and is the shining star in the darkness of this land.

Thore has boon a slifjht extension of tlio area covorod by tlioso missions on aeoount of the undortakinji of work ainong the VaUoy Kiver Indians, a small band in the north-western part of Manitoba, and at Lonjf IMain amonf>; throe small bands in the eentral part of the provinee. Neither of those missions will invt)l\o any eon- sidei'ablo expenditure of money. The reports, which are summarized herewith, show the usual gradations of light and shade, but the limitations of spaeo, whieh allow the giving of little more than statistics, mavle it impo.ssible for the report to set forth as one might do the bitter need of these cold and hungry Indians, the haunting fears which their superstitions and their medicine men foster, the material comforts, the cheerful outlook upon life, and the calm confidence \\ith respect to the future which the missionary brings within their reach, and not least, the lonely but strenuous and consecrated lives lived by the men and women who have given them- selves to Christ's work among the Indians. Most of them are young, but some have grown gray in the service, and all ask for our encouragement and our prayers. The rigid limitation of building appropriations during the past two years has made it necessary for some of our missionaries to carry on their work under much discomfort, and especially at Crowstand and Ijizard Point, at the cost of no little suflering. It is hoped tiiat the Assembly, before whieh this comes, will under the leadership of its Foreign Mission Committee authorize the expenditure of the build- ings asked for iu the estimates at Crowstand, Lizard Point and Birtle. REGINA INl)rSTRI.\L SCHOOL. Rev. A. S. McLeod, principal. — The number of pu] 'Is on the roll is one hundred and eighteen, and the average attendance for th ; last quarter was one hundred and three, a number somewhat less than last year, because the very large graduating class of last spring, which numbered thirty-five, has not been eni';-^ly replaced by new pupils. It is not the intention to have any graduation ceremony this spring, but simjjly to give certificates of honorable discharge to the small number of pupils who have completed their course. There are twenty-nine Indian commimicants, of whom sixteen were added during the year. There were twenty-four removals, two of them by death, but chiefly by graduation from the school. There were eight adult baptisms. Forty-four dol- lars was contributed to the missionary schemes of the Church. The school sustained a severe loss in the death o. Mrs. Moffiit, who for four years had given faithful and eager service to the interests of the boys and girls under her care. Miss Nieoll, who had rendered excellent service as teacher, gave up her position in the course of the year, but the Committee hopes to see her in the work again after a period of rest. Mr. McLeod says : — Our out-pupils are having varying success. In many eases sympathy and inspiration for better things have failed them where both might have been looked for. Justice is sometimes meted out by officials in a fair enough way, but unsympathetically. On the whole, considering everything, the conduct of very many of our former pupils very greatly cheers us. Two of our graduates are now employed in the school under regular wages. A number of the other graduates have remained away from the reserves, and some of these already have hank accounts exceeding $100 each, and they have besides the prospect of steady employ- ment. At Hurricane Hills, Birtle and Crowstand other gra(luates are employed. On different reserves we have ex-pupils who are now married and living in homes of their own. These homes have been \ery highly spoken of. We are trying to fol- 137 if luw up all t'x-pupils as best we can. Many Icttors aro sent to tlicni. and a l)(M)k is kt'i»t in the ofHce in which is pirsi-rviMl a irconl ofall iTadinj; and study hooivs ioiwarded to tlu'ni.

Baker, missionary teacher. — Miss Baker is now our senior mission- ary. It is twenty years since she went as a missionary teaciier to I'rince Albert, and she had tfie hardshij) a 'ew years aj^o of breakinif new jfround and iiefjinninfj; a new work amonji' the Sioux rcfnives them emi)loyment at home and adds nuu'h to the family comfort. Tlie boys too •are doinfr well. Trfiancy is a thin,<>- of the past. The larjicr ones are always present unless obliged to remain at home to work. Our severe winter has often prevented the smaller ones from coming. Willie (a lad of twelve years) when kept at home usually .sends us a note explaining the reason of his ab.sence. (Mir daily readings, we believe, are doing much to mould the minds of these children from i)agan honu's. We have taken in two little girls to live with us. one six years old, the other nine years old. Botli are bright girls, and they are very happy and contented. Sabbath services have been held regularly every Sal>l)ath morning throughout the year, with an averag'. attendance of twenty. Since the New Year we have had also an evening service. We also tried to have the children conu' alone at 2 ]).m., but as the weather was so severe it had to be given up until sj)ring ; however, they all come in the morning. The nu'n now attend ([uite regularly. As yet we iiave had no baptisms, but we can hardly call all i)agans. Vi'w can realize how diHicult it is for an Indian to come out alone and face the oi)))osition of the old medicine nun. Poor Jocky's death was evidence that there may be n\any silent ("liristians among them ; we will rejoice when we see them take a hrm stand for Christ, but we are willing to work and pray and patiently wait until they shall be so moved by the Holy Spirit that they shall make a complete surrender and become faithful, earnest Chri.stiaus. Au addition was made to the mission building during the year, at a cost of $2;5(), The ground Hoor is used as a reception room for the Indians, and it is here the meetings are held. The upper .storey atFords the additional accommodation which make.s it possible to take in the two little girls mentioned above. MISIWWASIS. Rev. W. S. JNIoore, missionary. — Services are held each Sabbath nu)rning in the church at Mistawasis with an attendance of seventy, and monthly at INIount Nebo with an attendance of twenty-three. There are tifty-tive communicants on the roll, of w'hom nineteen were added during the year. There were four removals, two of them by death. There were ten baptisms of infants and one of an adult. Thirty-one dollars was contributed to the Schemes of the Church, ten dollars being given by the local Women's Foreign Mission Society. Mr. Moore writes : — The i)ast year has been one of the nu)st successful in the iiistory of our mission, there being a goodly number enquiring the way to eternal life. The communion of the Lord's Supper was held on the tirst Sabbath of April, and no less than thirteen eiupurers jjre.seuted themselves. Six were accepted, and the others, though generally acceptable, were not .so dear in their knowledge of 138 M' things spiritual as to warrant us in declaring that we eonsidered tiuMu to he gen- uinely eonverted. And the Spirit's work lias not heen among the young alone, even the aged have heen stirred to confess their negligence in the i)ast. At the date of the last report there was trouhle ai»out the Indian agent. Since then a new agent has heen ai)pointed. and the change lias heen a very pleasant one for the missionary and his family. Mr. (loodfellow. the jiresent agent, is married to a daugliter of the late missionary here, the Kev. John ^IcKay, and no hetter agent could he asked for. Miss (Tillesi)ie. the teacher, reports that the school has twenty treaty Indian jfupils on the roll and ten others. The average attendance for the quarter ending with the ;Ust March was a little less than ten. ■• Owing to the very severe weather and to sickness among the children, this has heen. so far as attendance goes, the nu)st 'iscouraging quar''>r we have experienced since my coming here. Those who did at iul have nuule good progress, and their conduct has heen very good. Their C'hristii a zeal is still conspicuous." LAKKSKNl). Mr. Camphell H. ^lonro, missionary. — This mission was without regular supi)ly for a year anil a half, at hrst hecause of a slu)rtage in Foreign Mission Funds, and latterly for three or four months hecause of the difficulty of linding a suitahle mis- sionary. The position was olfered in succession to five young men, four of whom had volunteered for foreign mission work, hut it was declined hy each. It was only in the autumn of last year that the vacancy was filled hy the appointment of Mr. Monro, a young Englishman, who has shown no little devotion and readiness to face difficulties in taking uj) once more a work which had fallen into a very dis- organized condition. We have by no means recovered even yet the ground that was lost during the interregnum, but what can be done is being done, and we hope once more to see the work on these reserves on a good footing. During the vacancy occasional services were held by Mr. Jacob Bear, assistant missionary from Round Lake. FILE HILLS, Mr. Alex. Skene, principal. — Mr. Skene says : Work has moved forward quietly during the past year. Six of our pujjils were out with farmers for from three to seven months, and received for their work per month from five to sixteen dollars and board. The reports received each month from their employers regarding their general deportment and the quality of service given were, without exception, most eiicouraging. All were in Christiati homes and attended Sabbath school and services regularly. The conduct of all at the school has been, on the whole, up to the aver- age. We have our Sabb.ith school on the Sabbath, and during the summer months the services are held in a little church about four miles from the school. The larger l)upils show much interest in these services. The general health of the children during the year has been good. The num- ber now on the roll is twenty-one, an increase of four during the year. On the reserve there are signs of improvement. Many have now comfortable houses, which they keep very neat and clean. Pictures illustrating the Sabbath school lessons, furnished by the school, are pasted on the walls, and are made the subjects of a talk when the houses are visited. Though they still adhere to their old religion, many of the old customs are not observed, and they are more ready to listen to the Gospel message than formerly. Still there is much darkness. The reserve was visited for over two weeks by Mr. Jacob Bear, from Round Jjake. He held services in one of the Indian houses on the Sabbath, and visited the people in their homes during the week. They expressed themselves as glad to see him, and thankful for what he told them. The long strain of sei'vice on Mrs. Skene as matron and the increasing attend- ance at the school made it necessjiry to relieve her somewhat, and in the course of last autumn Miss Jennie Webster was appointed assistant matron. 189 ROCNl) r.AKK. Rev. Hup;h McKay, missionary. — ••Tlicri' are thirty-tliree names on tiiescliool roll. an«l the averajie attendance for the year was twenty-eifiht. Four have united with the Church on profession of faith, and live others have asked foi- haptism. They will be received at the coannunion in .June."" The teacher is ^fr. 1). A. McKay, who is doinj? <;ood work, but he finds the confiiienient of the sciiool room severe upon him, and is about to send in his resi<;nation. Two l)oys discharrofessed Christians, give assent to all the missionary says and co-operate heartily with him in .school and charitable work. There are some, however, esjiecially on the Reserves most removed from the Mission, who are irreconciliably oi)i)osed to the white man. his religion, his schools and all his ways. .\ small house of the nature of a cottage hospital has been in'ovid(>d in the neighborhood of the Mission for some old peojile who were homeless and heli)less. It has been constantly occupied for the i)ast seven months, and, at a cost of about ^')0 for maintenance, has been the means of relieving much suHering. Hri'UKANK HILI.S. Rev. Ewen Mackenzie, missionary. — Mr. IMackenzie reports :— Our work is in every respect more successful this year. The Roman Catholic priests have made the greatest efforts to get children for their school at Fort Qu'ApjJelle and to get a Church established here ; yet, notwiMistanding, our work has only i)rospered the more. Members of some families hitherto identified with the Roman Catholic Church have attended our services regularly, and at one time or another during the year there have been at our service representatives from every family on the Re- serve. Permission has been given by the Indian I)ei)artmeut to the Roman Catholic Church to erect a Church building on the Reserve, as the result of a so-called poll, at which it was said the Indians requested the establishment of such a Church. As .soon as it was known on the Reserve that such permission had been granted, the Chief and head-men sent a protest to the Commissioner. Two of these head-men, in the presence of the Agent and missionary, declared that the Agency interjjreter had misinterpreted them in the matter of the poll. Morning and evening services are conducted every Sabbath. The morning ser- vice has au average attendance of 12 and the evening an average attendance of 85. I have continued the I'lass for young men which I began last year. It is largely of the nature of a Bible Class and has been conducted almost every week day duiing the winter. The average attendance is Hi. Three made good progress. Two can read almost everything in Sioux, and have gone over Matthew's Oospel and the small Sioux Catechism. The other, who began with the alphabet at the beginning of the winter, made wonderful progress and is able to read Sioux fairly. The others have been irregular in attendance and have made only small i)rogress. !Mrs. Mackenzie > f f i ni t U: r ]40 has li'won tlu- women instruction in halving.

For the use of these chisses t lie house wliicii was formerly used by the iuteri)reter has been litted uj). partly at tin- expense of the Indians themselves. We cannot y»'t speak of decided converts, but we are thankful for the opportunities we have of instilling the truths of the (iospel into the minds of our Indians, and for the tokens of better things. THK CHOWSTANI). and 00 great ii with gi $57, an the dm ?S^.-'- M\i Kev. l>eil (iilmour. missionary. — Services are held on Sabbath morning at the Church on the Reserve, with an attendancte of 80 ; at Two (.'reeks in the alteiiioon, in the house of an Indian, with an attendance of 15 ; and at the Mission in the evening, with an attendance of 4(). The number of Indian communicants is 22. There have been three additions during the year and ont removal. There were ten ba{»tisms of infants, and !?(iO was contributed to the Schemes of the Church. There has been very little using of licpior on the Ke.serve during the winter, in which respect theie is a marked imjirovement com])ared with a year ago. The im])rove- ment is largely due to the removal of a bad half-breed element. The attenrirae necessity that measures should be taken in the course of this summer to provide additional room. A sum of money for that purpose is included in the estimates. BIRD TAIL. Rev. John McArthur, missionary. — The attennance at the Sabbath service is 80 and at the week night jirayer meeting 14. In addition to these services conducted by the missionary, the Indian men carry on weekly meetings under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, and the women meet weekly as an auxiliary of the Woman's Foreign ;Missionary Society. There aie 1^7 Indian communicants. There were seven additions to the roll during the year and tliree removals — one by death and two by certificate. There were two baptisms of adults and four of in- fants. The contributions to the Schemes of the Church amounted to $41. The small log Church building which was erected when the Mission was first organized has survived its usefulness, and its i)lace wa>^ taken last summer by a neat \ ■ 141 and comfortable frame structure, which cost $5)00. The Indian congregation took a great interest in the erection of this structure and out of their jtoverty contributed with great self-denial and liberality to the work. Their money gifts amounted to $57, and, placing a moderate valuation upon the amount of work the men did in the drawing of stone and lumber, they gave in all about $200. LIZARD roINT. Mr, John Black, missionary. — Services are held not only on tne Reserve, but at another place iu the neighborhood of the Iteserve, where there are some half- breed families. The a verage attendance at these services is 24. There are five Indian communicants, of v»hom four were added to the roll during the year. The numl»er of deaths on the lleserve was eight. There were four bai)tisms of adults and six of children. Chief Astakesis i)rofessed his faith in Christ in the course of the year, received bajjtism and was married in Christian fashion. His change of attitude is telling iu a very conspicuous manner uj)on the band, and the prospects for the ad- vancement of Christian truth are much better than they were. The only building conne^^w^d with this mission is a small structure erected .some seven or eight years ago, at a cost of a little over a hundred dollars, as a shelter for the Rev. (Jeorge Flett, who used to pay occasional visits to Lizard Point. It is high time that a new building should be erected to serve in part as a residence for the missionary and in part as a i)lace for holding leligious svU'vices. A siun for thi.s luus been inserted in the estimates. About two years ago the Church Missionary Society gave up the IVIission which it had carried on for some time among the Valley River Indians about thirty-iive miles no:"th of Lizard Point, and the Indian Mission Committee of the Church of England has expressed its willingness that our Church should, if possible, take up this work ; and this we hope to do by uniting the Mission to liizard Point and providuig services partly by the agency of Mr. Black and partly through the neigh- boring Home Missionary. 0K.\N.\8E. Mr. R. C. McPherson, missionary and teacher. — Services are held on Sabbath morning, with an average attendance of 65, and in the afteinoon, with an average attendance of 40. The number of Indian communicants is 40. There were two additions to the roll during the year and there were five infant baptisms. Mr. McPherson reports : — The attendance of our people at Divine service on Sabbath is very good, and is the most encouraging part of our work. They take pleasure iu attending Church and join very heartily in singing praises to God. They are earnest listeners and it is very encouraging to address them, because many seem to be benefitted and instructed. In the case of some it is quite evident that they have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and are trusting him alone for salvation. There are others Avhose attendance at Church is also very regular, but it is very difficult to know what their feelings and beliefs are, for they do Jiot readily give one their confidence. Members of this band have purchased farms outside of the Reserve — one of ,'520, the other of 160 acres — for which they i)aidcash. Several of them are in quite prosperous circumstances. The school continues to give satisfaction. The atteudanci has been regular (two of the pupils had not been absent a day in eight mouths) and the progre.ss is good. ROLLING RIVKR. i I 111 Mr. W. J. Wright, missionary. — Services are Ad in the house of an Indian on the Reserve every Sabbath morning, w'ith an attendance of 15, and in the afternoon there is a service at the Mission House, with an attendance of 5. There have been several cases of Indians who have braved the public opinion of the Reserve and V v 142 have (h'('lar< (I tlu-ir faith in Christ : but upon the wliolo the i)ro<,n'i'ss is slow, and many of tin- Indians arc l)itt('rly opi)()sed to the jd'oposai that thoir cliiidnMi shouUl he iTniovcd for iducation to any of the Inchisti'ial Schools.

HON AN. The Honan mission has coiniiU-ti'd the tenth yeaf of its history. Tlie early 8trii ; the second from November 2!t to Deeend)er 11. Twenty-nine men rejjresenting eight villages attended the former, and twenty-eight from eight villages the latter. They were divided into five classes and instructed by the missionaries and Christian teachers, out of the Gospels of ^lark and liiike. the Chen Tao Wen Ta. and Dr. Griffith John's eatechism. A series of evening meetings was also held at which addresses on "Adam." •■Xoah. " "Abraham," "proses," ■• The Holy Spirit. " uud " Helping the Church " were given, as well as a stereoptican exhibition of scenes fnnn the Old and New Testaments. Twenty of tlu> men were able to read, the majority of them having learned to do so since becoming enipiirers. Hrlpcr.-^ : — Our ^Mission has again l)een favored by the presence of two helpers from the American Presbyterian ^Mission in Shantung. Those brethren took their full share of all tlie work done at the Station and on the field and were well reported of in the districts visited by tiiem. 151 Field Work: — It is our aim to follow up cacli oiicniufj: f^iviMi in any villajio and to aid in stri'n ••exaltet in vain, and wait — wait, not d( \d)tinj;-. for the richer manifestations of the mij;hty jxtwer that is able to work greater wonders than we h-.v-v seen.

SIdtic'i C'uxk: — Eai'y in the year two classes were held, attended respectively b\ three and si:» women. The results were gratifying : two were recorded as catechumens, and another after a probation period of over t»vo years was bai)ti/ed. Medical ]Vor/y: : — As in other years hos])ital i)atients have been taught tlaily. There is reason to hoi)e that a j/crmanent im])ression was made ujton some, but their homes are beyond our reach and we have lu) means of ascertaining the result of their stay with us.

This year for some unaccountable rea.son the number of patients treated is cousiderably less than during last year, still the attitude of those who come is in no way changed except it be that an increasing ])roportion of them are willing to listen to the preaching of the Gosjiel. There seems to be the same confidence in our treatment as formerly. It was hoi)ed that a new and more sanitary disjjensary and waiting room could have been built, and for which money is already provided, but lack of buildhig material prevented, louring the rainy season i)art of the walls of the old disj)ensary and waiting room caved in, but providentially causing no damage to jier.sou and with the loss of only a few cents' worth of i)r()])erty.

A movement to erect a little Church was voluntarily set on foot by tke (' hristians, and elicited such a liearty response from both Church members and catechumens that we hope to see it completed and used for the i>ublic worship of (Jod durinir the ensuing- year. To the natives themselves belongs all the cre(lit for this onward move, and we trust it may be crowned with success. ifKin-Tx'uii. — The Church here has sutl'ered from a variety of reverses, which have been noted in foi'mer re]iorts. This year, death lias taken away Waufr Vn Lin, whose service to the cause of Christ in Chang-Te-Fu has frc(|uently I)ec:\ mentioned. Some of the backsliding memlters have come under Romish itdluences, and are prepared to rent ]>remises to the priests. A small number still remain faithful, and. as one of our sti'ongi'st Christians is leader here, and some good men from neighboring villages join them in worship on the Sabbath, we still hope to see the cause of Christ revive. Two ehihlren were bai)tized and one Christian mar- riage celebrated here this year. Hiii-Lung. — The outlook in this town is hopeful. Two women have beeu recorded as catechumens, one of whom has suti'ered not a little personal violence for her devotion to Christ. Sei'vices are held regularly on the Lord's Day, and harmony prevails. During a large fair held in the town preaching and .selling Christian literature were carried on for several days, and in this way many per.sons previously unreached hean^ the (Jos])el. Fu-en. — A member of the Church in Hsin-Ts'in moved into this village some two years ago, and began at once to witness for his Saviour. The good seed sown has sprung up and promises to yield a fruitful harvest. There are now three bap- tized Christians an(l four catechumens in the village ; also some interested men whose ..ames are not yet recorded. Tht> man w ho began the work is still faith- fully testifying for Jesus, and very few among the Christians bear a more honored name or does his duty with such Joy and loyalty as he. Shih-P^an. — This is a town about Hve miles distant from Ch'u-Wang, in which^ largely through the teaching and examjile of the brethren from Tou-Kung, the nucleus of a little Christian community has been formed this year. There are now five catechumen.-? recorded, and lhe.se with others who are interested, meet for vvorship ou the Lord's Day. Judging from present indications we look for the development of an aggressive Church here ere long. All of these out-stations have been frequently visited by the missionaries and native heljiers, and the interest evinced by the memhers of these little Christian centres encourages us all. Thus far there are no elders in any of these places, and the men designated as leaders are those who arc reganh'd as such by their brethren. It will be necessary to instruct these more fully, and thus aid in fitting them to bear the responsibility devolving ujjou them, and enable them to become true leaders in aggressive Christian work at these and other centres. I H.siN-cuKX STATION. — {Prefecture of Wei Hui.) Members: — Mr. Rob. A. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Slimmon, Dr. and Mrs. Malcolm. Owing to Dr. Malcolm's absence on sick leave, the dispensary work was in the hands of native assistants under the supervision of the foreign pastors, for nine months, the other three months there being no medical work. The attendance ranged from fifteen to forty a day, and all had the (Jospel preached to them. A large number of (lospels and tracts were sold in connection with this work. One station class of seven members was held for ten days. 15+ i'l* One ol'tlie piistor.s and two natives ht'lped in tlio work at tlie Hsun-HsiiMi Fair for fourteen days.

Station Work: — We record with thankfulness that we have been jiermitted to dwell in this city in peace for upwards of three years Througliout this period nothiuff worse has occurred than some ugly threats and lumors, but during the past year even these have ceased. The chapel, as usual, has been open all day the year round. The numbers in attendance have not l)een great except on special occasions, such as the official examinations and fairs. Many interesting ca.ses have been met with, some among those who have visited the chapel several times, others among those ; ho have heard for the first time. Some have been met with wlio cculd repeat sc eval chapters oi' the Bible, or i)arts of the catechism, or the Ten Commandnients, ct some prayers. Home would answer almost any que.stions about the w;iy of sab. at ion, and haii abolished idols from their homes, but had not gone so far as \usy receiving the military and literary .students \ si as it was the triennial examinations, mo.st of the graduates in the prefecture v re m'so in the city. It w.s not u.nusual to have several hundred .students visit our corajKH .^d in the course of a single day. Dur- ing one day upwards of c\'^hte'.'U aMudrcd Mien were received, ;.iid allowed to pass through the missionaries' uouse. Wl\eu liie crowd was not too great in the front yard we brought the students in, in bands of twenty or thirty at v. time, we showed them through the hou.se and then gave a short address in the .stud\ , after which we distributed literature among them and let them out at the back gate. The hsien official sent his brother out to .see us, saying he was anxious lest so many students coming to the compound nnght create a disturbance, but when he heard that we were careful not to allow too great crowds in the front yard, and saw several bands of stiulents pa.ss through apparently well plea^ied with their reception, he went away, saying he would cease being anxious at the yamen. There was not the slightest rudeness shown by any of the literary students, and the behavior of the military students also, with one or two exceptions, was all that could be desired. By means of a globe, maps and astronomical charts we could always gain attention, and lead their minds up to the one true God. These young men seemed to heartily a jpreciate what was being done to entertain and in.^truct them. Confucian pride for the 'ime being, as they were brought face to face with the creative energy of the Omnijiotent, seemed to forsake them. Our hope in thus receiving the students, besi'les avoiding the d." iger of iiresent disturbance, was to make friends throughout the j)refec.;u'"e, so that we might reap the benetit in future tours. So far we have »',>( bren disappointed, for wherever we have gone in visiting the diflerent /(.s/r/ix WB liave met v.ith iVicndly advances from students and teaches whom we had i-ioeivd while at the examinations. ' 'u account of the Emperor's efforts tU reform the scholars of the city and ilisMi :t became unusually friendly.

Persecution there has ceased, and t.ie persecutors are becoming frit iidly. Several of the Christians have been helping us to preach the Go.spel in surrounding villages. There is a hopeful work going on at Ta-Hon a village twenty-five 11 east of the city. A poor carpenter of that place heard tlie (iosjiel here aboui a year and a half ago, and has since been daily testifying. We spent two days there about the end of November, and found an unusual interest among women as well as men. During the second day the inn-keeper, annoyed at the numbers coming, refused to let us stay at his inn, but an interested listener ,,. ivided a table, chair and tea on the street in front of his house, and we preached ihere until sundown. Then we went to spend the night with the carpenter, who li\es in a room in the compound of the temple of Buddha. After supper the people eame and filled the room until p to the time of on. veeent )le district where thert were lUth-west. there are eight vd- tiieir witness against the sur- 15G about mi(lni};ht, iittentivi'ly listeninjj; to t lie revaiie(l on our nie.r about four months of the year visits were made to the hospital during disjjensary time, when out-patients as well as in-patients could be reached, but at the beginning of the hot weatlier tliis work, we regret to say, was dropped. We hope to take it up again shortly, and if native help can be obtained, to <'ontinue it winter and summer. It is (»ne of the most important branehes of our work. Ou'aid^ Work: — Most of this branch of the work has been carried on by Mr. Oolbrtli and the native helpers, tor in their jireaching tours many wonuMi are rea<'hed. A few visits have been jtaid to the villages by (lie foreign ladies, the moKt noticeable one being a three days' vi.sit to an out-.station, nine miles to the south-east, when Mrs. Goforth and Miss Pyke in responding to the earnest request of the Chri.stians, met with a most enthusiastic weleome. Fully twenty womoi believers gathered at the evening meetings for women, aiid most of these helped in the day time at out-door meetings for })reaching to the heathen women. The work in this place gives cause ibr deepest thankfulness. Station Classen : — Two elas.ses have been held, the lirst in February for ten days. At this, as was the general custom of our mission, the food was provided lor those who were invited. A contribution box wa.s provided, and the members of tlu; ehuss were invited to contribute towards the expense of the class, but as none had come prepared, cnly a small .sum was contributed. At this class the attendance was tweutv-six. besides several small children. In November a second class was held, and an effort wan made towards having it on a self-supporting basis. Only those who eonld bring their own food were invited, the mission .supplying kindling, vege- tables, etc. The elas.s lasted eleven days '; > total attendance being fifteen adults and eight children over .seven years o: .i^e, several of the latter being regidar scholar.^. The total contributions received from the women amounted to ;3;58() large cash (one cash equals one-sixteenth of a cent), and the total expense incurred was 1867 large cash ; thus we had a balance of 1499 ea.sh to give to our native helper fund. We are truly thankful that this our first real effort among the women towards self-5sU})port has met with such success. One old woman of seventy-five, who earns a little by spinning raw cotton, decided to give to the Lord twelve cash out of every one hundred and twalve she earned for each pound of cotton spun. When in this way she had .saved up a thousand cash, she brought it as a thank- offering for God's goodness to her and her son. We are glad to be able to say that something has been done this year towards .starting an anti-foot binding movement. Four women and two ghls have already unbound, and othei-s are preparing to fol- low their example. During the last v/omen's station class one evening was devoted to this subject, and we trust a good impression was made. Most of those present went the next morning to one who had unbound, for patterns of shoes and socks. One encouraging fact, which must not be omitted, is that a much larger number of books have been bought by women than in any previous years. In January alone more books were sold to women than during the whole of 1897. It gives us the greatest pleasure to record the arrival of a new lady worker for this needy tield, in the person of Dr. Margaret S. Wallace, wiio arrived here in November. MEDICAL WORK. (Chang-Te-Fu). The hospital and dispensary have been open during the whole yeiir, with the exception of three weeks in October, when the doctor was absent on a holiday to Ch'u-Wang. The total number of treatments for old and new patients was It), 575, or an average for the year of thirty-six per day, the largest number of patients treated in one day being one hundred and twelve. During the early part of the year several patients were visited in their homes in .^he city, but latterly these visits ha\e been di-scontinued, as in almost every case l^ ' I ■ji!' 158 tho doctor was called in only after native doctors had ^iven up tliocaso as hopeless, and the patient was at the point ol'deatli.

From Mr. Cruikshank'H well kimwn ability ami scholarly attainments, and his familiarity with educational work both hort* ami in the old laixl, there is every contidence that under his guidance the college will renew its strength, and with tho euHuing year enter upon a still more UHeful and proKperoiis career. The Directors would repeat as in former repctrts, that no Ooll«go offers greater attractions to studious young women, for homelike social comfort, for beauty and healthfulnose of location, for excolkmce of teaching or for tlu' moral and religious atmosphere whicu surrounds it. For these reasons, as well as for the work it has done as the pioneer Presbyterian College for now twenty-live years, and for its fidelity to Presbyterian and Kvangelical truth, they claim for it even more cordial sympathy and greater patronage from the ministers, elders and members of the Presbyterian Church. All of which is respectfully submitted WM. WATT, Jk., President. THOMAS McLEAN, Secretary.

The Committee finds it is disposed of l>y the action of the Assembly. 3.

Your Committee feels warranted in saying that a larger number of young ministers are interested in the fund than at any previous time in its history. This we believe to be directly due to the regulation requiring every minister on being ordained to connect himself with the fund, or lose benefit. The number of annuitants at present is 23.

The number of Chinese at the canneries in the i)ast seasoii was a little larjier than in former years ; the work is increasiufi, encouraging and important. ]Mr. Colman, jNIi".

They were never recei-'d so kindly before, and had many opportunities of preaching and e.xhorting, — s./metimes to white people. 11 'm m w.\ ill' VI. INTERIOR TOURS. ^Ir. Colman and Mr. Winchester spent forty days from the 27th of May to the (5th of .luly visiting the i)riucipal points in the interior of the i)rovinoe, where Chinese in numbers are found. Eighteen places were visited, and large nund)ers of Chinese, many of wlumi had never heard the (Jospel of the grace of (Jotl before, listened for the most part with curious, and not infrequently, with intelli- gent and deep interest. Ky day or by night, on the street or in .stores ; in the foul atmos]>here and frenzy of the gaming den. in the quiet of the miners or the gardener's cabin, or by the jticturesiiue riverside, no oj)portunity for the proclam- ation ijf their message was allowed to jiass unimproved. In addition to Chinese addresses, one of the ^Missionaries gave fourteen missionary talks and jn-eaclied f'( :; -'oen sermons to congregations of our own people and to some audiences of w';'i-i> Men on the street. \vilii the exception of some i)oinls of lesser importance, the same ground was .'overed by Mr. Colman and ^Ir. Ng. in November. This trip was even more -i> A 'id tin n the former. Besides giving the Gospel by the living agent, tracts ■ iid Scripture portions in the Cliiuese language, were liberally yet carefully dis- tributed in every ]tlace. The Missionaries were most kindly received by the ministers ofourChurcii and .some of tiie Church mend)ers with whom they came in contact. Some in eacii of tlie larger centres are ([uite in sympatliy with our work. Init feel tiie obstacle of tlie language to be so great that without someone abb' to sjieak Chinese co-op«'ratiiig with them, tlieir labor must be in vain.

Kevelstoke has set a ^ood example in this and others are making an effort. Let it he mentioned to the jflory of CJod that when they were planning for the lirst interior tour with no funds in sight, ile jait it into the hearts of one in China, and another in Fndia. and others at home, to voluntarily send their contributions at the right moment, and suHicient for more than two tours. On the whole, the workers believe the pa.st year to have been the best in the histoiy of the Mission. Even where no profession of Christianity is made, we see the old forces waning, and the waxing of the iww. The following are the reconnnendations : 1. That the grant for a site and building in Victoria be renewed. '2. That the attention of the (Jeneral Assendily's Foreign Mission Class be again resjiectfully called to the urgent need lor a lady worker in Vict(»ria. 8. That a Chinese pAangelist be appointed for work in the interictr of the province, salary not to exceed $40 per month. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. CHINESE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

ALHKKNJ. H«i)ii' : — TluM'e are eleven jf'irls and fourti'ini boyH in the Home. Some of the boys are so large that they must soon be dismissed, unless some kind of industrial instruction is provided. There is a decided conviction amongst the teacl'i's and others in the community, that without inl pictures, etc., and imparting to their friends at lunne the le.sscms received in the school. There are regular Sabbath School and other services con- ducted on the Sabbath and other days of the week, and Harry, wiio is in charge of outside work, is u.s<'ful in playing the organ, and not only in interpreting, but in exitounding tiie Scriptures to the older people in their own language. There were twelve deathii during the year, and in some instances at least, there is iiope that the truth which gives jieace has been received into the heart. Day School: — There is beside the Home a neat, commodious school-house, in which the children are taught the usual branches of an English education by Mrs. K. ('ameron. The year closed with twenty-four children in the school, six being in the fourth standard, fourteen in the third, and four in the second. The children are apt to learn when memory or imitation is chiefly involved, but are not as capable in processes of reasoning.

Swartout ; teacher, Miss E. M. Armstrong : stations. I'cluelet and Dodger's Cove ; enipiirers. not bai>tised, three. Ttiiicrdtiiif/ : — Tlie year just closed has been a trying one. Itinerating work has been cariied on under the usual difficulties, about nine hundred miles having been covered in open boat or canoe, besidesr several trips in coasting steamer, visiting O-hi-ahts. I'-clul-ahts. How-chuck-les-ahts, and a few visits to the O-pitch-es-ahts and Shesh-alits. A month was also sjUMit at Steveston, on the Eraser Kiver, where a larger number than usual of our Indians congregated this year for fishing. Tiie hindrances to the spiritual progress of the Indians are .so mauv and strong that itinerating seems an absolute necessity to counteract the special infiuences for evil and keej) in touch witli them, and yet the danger of losing ground at the central points during continued absences is great. The Indians themselves recognise this, and plead for us to remain constantly with them ; or, if we mu.st go, to return as quickly as possible, both of which have been hithe !> impo.ssible, owing to their scattered position and the lack of help. 177 i i I ■ li UCLUELKf. We have to record aii irreparable loss to our mist^iou iu the death of tlie oue baptised convert, whose influence and active assistance were for two years a won- derful help to the Lord's work, not only amongst his own tribe's people, but generally on this field. The revival of evil, which began about the time of his death at Ucluelet, has continued with only a short break, until the present. Two only of our enquirers at this point have stood firm, and even these arc weaker, tlioiigh we hope that in their case victory will the more speedily come through aiipareut defeat. An epidemic of measles broke out during the year, carryingotf several children ut tlie two tribes, Uduelets and Ohiahts. and disturbing the sclutol at Ucluelet, which had to be closed for three weeks in consequence. Besides tiiis. the observ- an e ft)r some weeks of the great heathen festival called Klo-Rwan-iui, or wolf-dance, uol only caused a revival of superstition, but materially atiected the attendance at .school, as many of the children were taken away to be initiated into the mysteries ol' their faith And yeb, despite these discouragements, and also that little or no liclp can be expected from the parents iu keeping the children at school, we have to record our gratitude for the way in which the school has l)een kept uj*. the average for the year being over ten. while at present writing the attendance is more tlian double that number. .Vt Ucluelet also there has been niudi liquor drinking and gambling. Several Indians have engaged in the sale of whiskey, and others have learned to make lioiiie brewed beer. A constable has been appointed by the Provincial Governnu'ut for this point, and there has been much excitement and trouble owing to niunerous arrests. BODGKU'S ("OVK. At this point events have moved more smoothly. The Oiiiahts liave preserved their reputation for sobriety and loyalty to our mission as a tribe. l»nt beyond this lilt'" can be said. The enquirers have made little advauce in sjiiritual life, in fact owing to the i»eeuliar circumstances of our work they have been left much to them- • selves. The Ohiahts have been «'ontemplatiug a removal from Dodger's Cove, and the time seems opportune for establishing them in a civilized settlement, with prac- tical industries, which would o[>erate both as an industrial school and be a means of livelihood for many of them. The dillieulty is the lack of necH-ssary capital to start such a settlement. liexultii : — Mr. Swartout writes : " When I first came to the <'oast. knowing the ditticulties. I thought that if we could (!ount converts iu ten years we would do well. I have been here five years, and at Ucluelet we had for a year and a half as bright an example of Christian devotion as ever was given under such eireumstances. He is now gone. Despite overwhelming odds at XTcluelet. not infreciueut amongst Indians, there is there a little band of praying entpiirers. the pathos of whose pleadings is nirely seen. At my last visit a young man who had been wandering away, .said on his knees: '•! have sinned. I have gone astray, might I eonie back tn iem of leceiving members than we think it wise to follow, we would enroll tliem as members of the Churcli, .\jrwrs.vHT. This village, about thirty-eight miles north of Ucluelet. has at the present time a population of two hundred and eighty. The death rate w;us high last year, owing to a scourge of measles, besides scrofula, consumption, the improper care of infants. 'i '■ ^''. ■ ( I V 178 and especially the practices of native doctors. The measle ei>ideinic was imt -u fatal as is usually the case, because of better luirsiiig and treatment under i In- direction of the niissioiniry. A small hospital, the missionary thinks, would lit of great value and be appreciated by the Indians themselves. Mr. Russell writes : — ''The Indians to-day are not the same as they were one year ajjo. The chanjije is quite distinct. We recofjni/e it in their appearain .-. conversation, and lives. During the year the village was thoroughly cleaned u|i. and has been in a much better sanitary condition than ever before. The houMs as a rule are cleaner and better kept. Several men have partitions in their houst s. thereby separating their sleeping rooms from the general living room. There \\a- a great increase in the number of gardens, and in the variety of vegetables raised. The school children had a beautiful garden of potatoes. turnii)s, carrots and beans. During the summer months there is always a dearth of water. This is one of the problems we have to face in the future." With few exceptions the dead now receive Christian burial ; the old cust in.stead of three. It could be carried out with the aid of one assistant, and the building of a small cottage for us to live in." The religious services are conducted with increasing interest — the seatini: capacity of the .school being often taxed to the utmost. jNIany who formerly came for amusement now give earnest attention. The population is dividing itseli" intu those interested and those opposed to the Gospel. " One of the difiicultii's is their intense reserve as to what they believe. The manner of worship of the father i> secretly communicated to the child, and there are very few families who hold tin same belief, or who know the belief of other families." "One young man is a professing Christian, and notwithstanding severe perse- cution has remained firm. Oth.-rs are earnest en«iuirers, and the whole tribe lia~ decided for moral reform. The Spirit of (iod is visibly win-king." Mr. Russell sends an earnest plea in behalf of Claoquaht, which is becoming a mining centre, and the Indians are becoming demoralized. There are four tribes in Nootka Sound asking lor a missionary, and there is no niissioiniry at Chieklesaht and Quatsino Sound. The call is loud for more workers. 179 FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

II It lU K We have to rciKH-t jtrogress and a number of favoring indications, thougii un toward influences have l)een (juite active and considerable attention luis been given during tlie year to making it " luird to do wrong, as well as easy to do right." Efteetive suppression of evils has been obtained, however, and even the impediments of ii strange tongue, with some Oriental habits of life and thought, are pas.sing witli many who are being brought into touch with Christianity, and ojjportunities arc opening and widening all along the line. A very succe.ssfid Chinese New Year festival was lu'ld upon Jan. 24. at the American Presbyterian Church, closely identi tified with and a generous helper of this work. A similar and very interestiiiji gathering occurred later in honor of the General Assembly, when about two hunresent tlic Rev. T). McGillivray of Honan, China, was among those who took part. The oi>cii sessi«n of the large Knox Church Sabbath school the evening before was also of special interest, as showing so many representatives of China's millions under such direct gospel influeucres. Among the prominent members to address the large com- pany was the moderator of the General Assembly, the Rev. Dr. Torrance, who had himself visited Canton, to Avhich place also the Rev. W. C. Burns went some fifty years before, burdened for the souls of these same people, after preaching a time in Knox Church, when as yet no Chinese was found in North America. Two Chinese died during the year and were given Christian burial tis usual, there having been no heathen funeral since the inception of this work, thougli such are features of cities of the United States and the far west of Canada. But death Is no respecter of persons, and this work mourns the loss, on March 4, of the Rev. John Nichols, ever the friend and often the earnest teacher of Chinese in St. Mark's school ; also the very faithful superintendent of St. Giles'" school ; Elder John Mackie and several teachers of ditferent schools. The Chinese are taught in Sabbath and week-night schools, and a few privately; but four are now found in the i)ublic schools, three being in We.stmount, and all giving a good account of themselves. Others are desirous of accpiiring a knowledge of mechanical arts, as they are able to do elsewhere, that they may return to aid China, whose abundant mineral resources and cheap labor otter such great ojipor- tuuities, and whose day of probable rapid development has already dawned. A number have been draAVu out in Beveral directions, particularly domestic service, while in Augu.st was announced the "first Chinese bicycle race ever held in America,"' at which there were a number of contestants. Several days later there occurred the most brutal attack t)f the year upon an oM Chinaman, who was taken to the hospital bleeding and unconscious, from his laundry on St. James street. Though like instances are less frequent now, there have been half a dozen or so, and ways of imposing upon the, for the most part, unoHending Chinese, are all too common. But in these directions, and those in which some of the Chinese are their own worst enemies, our thanks are du^ to Judges Wurtele, Demontigny, and Lafontaiue, especially, and to Chief Detective Carpenter. The most effective move against evil tendencies -was by the latter on August 7, when some thirty were locked up for gambling, all thereafter, however, allowed to pay the fine, except the chief offender, who spent a terra in prison. This case caused the first exhibition in Montreal of the severest form of Chinese oath, that of cutting aS' a cock's head. An interesting closing event of the year was the celebration at Chalmers C'hurch on Dec. 25th of their Christmas festival. The wide interest was shown by there being upwards of a dozen ministers upon the platform, representative of the several denominations. As to the work < ' the seventeen Presbyterian classes or schools, while the average attendance of teachers and scholai's is not quite up to that -f the previous 1{)1 k yciir, it may he remarked tliat for tlie i>a.st several months an increased attendance is shown in most cases, and that the shortage is due chiefly to hick of teachers.

FINANCES, ■ ; II •!' •i V !l V. ! The Eastern Division of the Committee reported last year a debt of !?4..")41.ll iiirainst the ordinary fund, and a balance on hand for Korea of $8, l(il.40, h-aving a net debt of ^Ij^TSJ./"!. This year they report a debt of #2,188. L'(i against tiie ordin- ary fund, and a balance of $'2,()88.52 in favor of Korea, giving a net balance in lit vor of the missions of !?500, 2(5. While a larger amount was last year received from legacies than during the previous one, yet not all the improvement is due to tills source of revenue. The people gave more liberally also, and encourage the hope that necessary yearly expansion will evoke a resjjonse of growing generosity on the part of those who are enjoying the fat things of the (f0si»el at home. The total receipts for the year for the We.stern section were !j!138.4()2., This is the largest revenue in any one year in the history of the Churcij. The Committee have for .some time felt the importance of having a special fund, ajtart from the "idinary one, as a working balance. Their expenditure every month is in the neighborhood of $10,000, and yet for the first seven or eight months of the year very little money comes in, thus rendering it necessary to borrow large sums during the year, for which interest luus to be paid. A year ago the Committee instructed the treasurer to place all legacies in a special fund. At the end of the year these amounted to the exceptionally large sum of $89,047. From this amount there w.is transferred to the Ordinary Fund $9,047, leaving to the credit of this special working balance $30,000. It is well to state in this connection that a very large [Mirtion of this money was left as a betjuest to the Foreign 3Iission Fund, and according to the terms of the will, only the annual interest can be used in the lurtherance of the work. At its meeting last month the Committee largely increased liu'ir obligations by the appointment of several additional missionaries, necessitat- ing increased liberality on the part of the Church in the maintenance of this depart- ment of its work.

Mr. Noble was a man of fine character with a reserve of strength and spiritual convic tion which, with hij lovable disposition and faithful devotion to work, gave promise of an excellent ministry. He who calleth laborers into His vineyard knoweth how long and where they will serve Him best. In recording this event the Senate would express its sympathy with his widowed mother and her family in their beaeavement, as well as the sense of its own lo.ss. The ordinary work of the Session calls for no special remark, the students havini; givon good evidence of their attendance on and diligence in their studies. The work in . the various departments was as follows : I. Church History and Homiletics. In the class of Church History, the general history of the Christian Church from the Reformation to the present time, was studied by means of examinations on two days ri each week, On two other days lectures were delivered upon Scottish Church History from the fifth to the seventeenth century. During the first part of this course tlie history of the early Celtic Church down to the reign of Malcolm and Margaret in the eleventh century, and afterwards from the beginning of the Reformation to the close <>f the Covenanting age formed the subject of lecture. It was only by great economy of time and by condensation, wherever that was possible, that the history of such period.s could be overtaken in one session. Upon all these studies two written examinations were held, one in January and the other in April. In the class of Homiletics, lectures were given twice a week in which, under the usual heads of matter, form and expression, the various topics commonly considered in sacred rhetoric were discussed. In connection with this class a written examination was held in the month of April. The Thursday Old Testament Exeoeticb. The Junior Hebrew Class was attended by six students of the first year, all of wliom, with one exception, had graduated in Arts. This class met five times a week. Diividson's Hebrew Grammar with exercises formed the subject of study. Two written ex iniinations were held with excellent results. The class in Senior Hebrew and Old Testament Exegetics consisted of twenty-six students, fifteen being of the second year and eleven of the third. It met four times a week. Once a week selections from difficult portions of the Hebrew Bible were read, in connection with the LXX. and the Vulgate. Occasionally the class hour was devoted to Aifvmaic, the sight-reading of Hebrew, and the explanation of Massoretic notes. Once a week a text book on Hermeneutics was used, supplemented by lectures on the expo- sit ion of prophesy, types and parables ; twice a week a lecture was given on several (if the books of the Old Testament Canon, including Daniel and several of the Minor Prophets. A Hebrew critical exercise was prepared by each of the third year stuclents. Two written examinations were held, one mid-sessional, and the other at the close of the term, and the averages attained were, in general, higher than usual. III. Al'OLO(iETICS ANIi SYSTEMATIC TuEOLOCiY. In the Department of Apologetics and Systematic Theology the work of the first year is confined to Apologetics, thf subjects considered being the CJrounds of Theistic Belief, Anti-Theistic Theories, Miracles, the Credibility of the fJospels, Christian Evi- dences, and Comparative Religion, During the past session sixteen students attended the class of Apologetics. Tn addition to r/rf< voci- and written examinations on the subject of class lectures, each student submitted two essays, the subjects being, "Why am I Religious ?" and "Prayer in Relation to Natural Law." In the class of Systematic Theology, which is taken by all regular students of the second and third years, the subjects considered included the Sources of Dogmatics, the Reality of Revelation, the Nature of God, the Doctrine of the Trinity, and the Work of the Holy Spirit. In the department of Biblical Theology, which occu})ies a portion of each week, the subject of study was "The Teaching of Christ in the Gospels." Twenty-six students were in attendance upon this class. In addition to the rim voce and written examina- tions, two essays were written by each student, the subjects being, "The Supreme Authority in Religion," and " Our Lord's L^se of the Old Testament Scriptures." '■W IV. New Testament Execetics. In this department, the work of which extends over three years, there are two classes. The Junior Class, attended by seventeen students, was occupied mainly with studies in the gospels. A large portion of the Gospel of John was read, and selections horn Luke, chiefiy from the first nine chapters , the last few weeks of the session being devoted to the closing scenes of the life of Christ, as recorded in all four evangelists. In addition to this, weekly lectures were given on Introduction to the Gospels, and the pol- itical and religious condition of the Jewish people in the time of Christ. One day a week was spent on the language of the New Testament and Textual criticism. The Senior Class attended by twenty- six students read exegetically nearly four chapters each of the Epistles to the Galatians and Ephesians ; one day a week was devoted to the discussion of written paraphrases of the Epistles of II. Peter and .Jude. Tlie second half of the history of the Apostolic age, concluding with a short course on Introduction to some of the disputed Epistles, and the history of the New Testament Canon, occupied another day of the week. Greek critical exercises were prepared by students in the second year. In an advanced class meeting once a week, attendance on which was optional , the first six chapters of II. Corinthians were read and treated somewhat minutely. U 190 V. Elocution. li^^*' i The students of the third year met on two days of each week during the course, Special attention was given to the reading of Forms of Service in Public Worshij). For the development of public speaking, and at the same time to gain an ac(|uaintaiice with the work of the Church Courts, discussions were held as frequently as time wnnkl permit. Lectures were also given on the Public Statutes of Canada, so far as these ruhite to ministerial work, such as registration of births, deaths and marriages ; each province having its own separate Acts, all differing from another. The text books used were, The Directory for the Public Worship of God, (dn- fession of Faith, Rules and Forms of Procedure, and the Public Statutes relat- ing to the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Principal MacVicar, D.D., LL.D. ; those in Biblical History, Church History and Apologetics by the Rev. Professor Campbell, LL.D.: those in the French Pepartment by the Rev. Professor Coussirat, D.D., B.A., Officer d'Academie ; those in Introduction and Greek and Hebrew Exegesis by the Rev. Prof. Scrimger, D.D., M.A. ; and those in Homiletics, Pastoral and Biblical Theology, and Church Government by the Rev. Prof essor Ross, D.D., M.A. The College is indebted to A. T. Taylor, Esq., P.R.T.B.A. and R.C.A., for his gratuitous delivery of an exceedingly interesting and instructive course of lectures in Ecclesiastical Architecture. Mr. J. C. Robertson, B.A., lectured to the preparatory classes in Mathematics, and Mr. D. M. MacLeod, B.A., in Classics, while Mr. J. P. Stephen taught a class in Elocution. Besides the special examiners associated with Professor Ross in the ten examinations in Ecclesiology, the Revs. A. B. MacKay, D.D., James Barclay, D.D., M.A., C. B. Ross, B.D., and P. H. Hutchinson, M.A. , gave valuable assistance in the preparation and examination of Honor and B.D. papers. The following is an extract minute of Senate concerning a remit from the General Assembly : " In regard to the matter of the Preparatory Course referred by the A ;8embly to the Colleges for their earnest consideration, with a view to securing uniformity, the Senate expresses its full sympathy with the desire to maintain the standard of literary training for candidates for the ministry ; but, owing to the fact that as yet there is no school where French students can be sufficiently trained for matriculation in the University, and owing further to the transition state of McGill University at the present time, cannot now recommend the abolition of the Preparatory Course. "In order, however, to furnish an additional guarantee for the character of the examinations, it is resolved that hereafter Associate Examiners be appointed to act with the tutors in Classics and Mathematics at the sessional examinations, and that an average of fifty per cent, be required to pass." The Alumni Association of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, having elected Revs. J. F. MacLaren, B.D., A. Russell; B.A., and G. Woodside, M.A., to represent it, the Senate recommend that their names be included in the Senate of 1899-1900. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. H. MACVICAR, Principal.

Last year we had reached our limit of .iccouunodation and consequently this Session one of the classes had to be divided and taught in different rooms by the Professor and his assistant. This initial waste of strength is the best proof of our need for an additional building, with two or three large class rooms, and incran/'ed accommodation in other respects. J b J following are the names of the students registered in the Faculty of Theology : 'fifsi Year — Jas. Anthony, W. Brokonshire, J. D. Byrnes, J. A. Edmison, B.A.; W. . . Fraser, B.A.; J. M.

On the contrary, thanks to tlie Con- gregations \f 'lich send to us the whole or part of their collections, on behalf of the G' neral Afisembly's College Fund, and which during the past year have sent over four hundred dollars more than ever before, our old accumulated deficit has been somewhat lessened. The minimum of $4,000 from the Church, long aimed at, is now ia sight. With a little effort on the part of those w lo appreciate the importance of the work done by Queen's, we shall reach it, and as the desired addition to our Theological staff depends in part on this, we earnestly appeal to them to make the effort. Convinced that this appeal will not "9 made in vain, and considering it indispensable that the additional Professor repeat? lly authorized and urged by the General Assembly should be appointed not later than at the next annual meeting of the Board, a committee has this day been appointed to take all needed action in the matter. Subscriptions to the amou:)^*^ ot $20,000 will still be required for endowment, and the Committee is instructed to secur"^ these, and to make enquiries with regard to suitable men for the Chair, and to submit a list of names, from which one may be selected for the approval of the next General Assembly. The subject to be taught by the new Professor may be either Church History or Biblical and Historical Theology. The names of the Committee are Rev. Dr. Barclay, Dr. Milligan, Dr. R. Campbell (Renfrew), Dr. Herridge, Rev. John Mackie, Rev. M. McGillivary with the Chancellor and the Principal. 203 ' III. — Chair of Orientals and Old Testament Exegesis. In view of the increasing importance of the subjects embraced in this Chair, and the advanced years of Dr. Mowat, who has faithfully filled it for forty-two jtars, the l^oard decided that the time had come, when the interests of the University, and especially (if the Theological Faculty, re(iuired the appointment of an assistant and successor to Professor Mowat. They have appointed the Rev. W. G. Jordan, B.A., D.D., minister of Strathroy, to this position, subject to the approval of the Assembly, and they submit his name with confidence that the Assembly will cordially sustain their action. Dr. .Jordan has been minister of Strathroy for nine years and has won the esteem of the community and the confidence of his brethren, especially in the West of Ontario, where he is best known. For two Sessions past he has given special courses in Old Testament Exegesis in Queen's, and has proved that he possesses the scholarship demanded by the jiositiou, as well as other qualities required to gain the esteem and confidence of students and to make a Professor a power for good in the University. IV. — Alumni Conference. The attendance and the interest increase from year to year. February still seems to he the best month for the Annual Meeting. Those who wish to prepare for it should subscribe for ^i(«e)i's Qnartedy, the price of which is only $1.00 a year. The manag- ing editor is N. R. Carmichael, M. A., and his address, " The University, Kingston." V. — Calendar. The Calendar, Part 1, can be had (jrutis by applying to the Registrar ; the full Calendar and examination papers for 25c. each; and the Calendar of "The School of Mining and Agriculture," by applying to the Bursar.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF 3IANAGEMENT FOR THE YEAR iHUB-lH'.m. ii The Bofitd of Management begs to present to the General Assembly its fifty-fifth annual report, and to transmit with it, the report by the Senate, of tho academic work of the College for the past session. The number of students enrolled in the Theological classes during the past session was seventy-one. The Graduating class numbered twenty, and of those comprising it, the Board observes with pleasure that sixteen held University degrees. The students in the Preparatory Department numbered twenty. This Course exists now only for those already in it at the time at which the new regulations were adopted, or who may be admitted to the Second Year. There will be no further admissions to the First Year. A modified University Course, approved by the Assembly at its last meeting, will in future take the place of the Preparatory Course. The Board will, however, continue to impress on students the desirability of taking a full University Course, and that the modifications now permitted are intended to provide only for exceptional cases. The resignation of Rev. Professor Robinson, Ph.D., recorded in last Report, necessitated the appointment of a new professor. It will be remembered that the Board, after conference with the Senate, reported that it was found impossible, from the wjvnt of information, to nominate anyone for the position. By a supplementary report the Board craved leave, with the concurrence of the Senate, to make an appointment, should it be found possible to do so, before the beginning of last Session, in order that a Chair so important, should not remain vacant during the Session. The Assembly, under the very special circumstances, granted the required authority, and the Board and Senate having carefully considered the very high testimonials which were afterwards sent to them from many quarters in favor of the Reverend John E. McFadyen, B.A., (Oxon), P>.D., of Glasgow, Scotland, resolved to appoint him, should a personal interview with him by Rev. Principal Caven and Rev. Dr. Maclaren prove satisfactory to them, and in the event of this being the case, authorized these gentlemen to communicate to him his appointment. The gentlemen deputed visited Glasgow, and after full conference with Mr. McFadyen, which proved entirely satisfactory, communicated to him the decision of the Board and Senate. Mr. McFadyen was ordained a Minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada on .";th October, 1898, in St. Andrew's Church, Toronto, and was then inducted into his office as Professor of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis. He entered on the discharge of his duties at the beginning of last session, and the Board has every reason to congratulate the Church on an appointment which has amply justified the action of the Assembly in granting exceptional authority to the Board and Senate. From the Treasurer's statement, hereto appended, it will be seen that a balance of 804.42 stood at the credit of the Revenue Fund at the closing of the books for the past year. A legacy of $1,0(>0 for the general purposes of the College, and several special donations, have produced this favorable result. Had it not been for these exceptional receipts, there would have been a considerable deficit in the revenue account. "The continued fall in the rate of interest on investments, will reiiuire more liberal contributions from the congregations to maintain the revenue at its present amount. It is to be regretted that a considerable deficiency has to be reported in the Scholarship Fund. A balance of $67 t'i!>- I'MHI; viz., J. W. Macnamara, President ; Wm. Beattio, A. C.

Bruce, l>.A., Secretary of Committees. The Saturday Conferences of Professors and students were held as in previous Sissions, their main purpose being to direct special attention to pastoral ([ualitications ;ind to deepen spiritual life. The thanks of the Senate are due to the ministerial hicthren in Toronto who rendered valuable aid in conducting these Conferences. The Senate has pleasure in reporting that nine candidates for the degree of Bachelor iif Divinity will write on the First Department of the work in May. The Rev. J. McD. Duncan has completed his examinations, and the degree of B.D. has been conferred upon him. The decree of Doctor of Divinity has been conferred upon the Rev. T. B. Porteous, M.A., of Harrismith, O.F.S., South Africa. The Senate desires to record its great satisfaction with the action of last General Assembly, in granting permission to the Board and Senate of the College to make an appointment to the Chair of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis, then vacant by the n'luovfil of Professor Robinson to McCormick Seminary, Chicago. The Senate has j^ladly welcomed the Rev. John E, McFadyen, M.

The Rcmrd of Mfiinii^oinoiit of Mnnitolm College l)ugs to Hulxnifc to the (iuiieral Assemltly itH report for tlie past year, and to trauHiuit the report of the Senate. The event of greatest conseqiieiico to the College in the courHe of the year h>>.8 l)oen the (loath of its behjved and revered princi[)al, the Rev. Dr. King, who.so work in con- iKction with this IJoard, as its treasurer, was ncjt the k'ast iioavy of the many Idirdons he ciiried for the sake of tlie college he loved. The over-sight which ho exercised over ikii ilt'partments of the college work was so minute, and the amount of labor he performed liiiiiHoif was so great, that his removal leaves a tremendous gap in the life and work of tilt; institution. The Hoard lias had before it the task of nominating a successor to Dr. King, as principal and professor of theology. The matter is now in the hands of a committee, mul it is hoped that the Hoard may yet be able to submit a name to the (Jeneral Assembly for ajipointment to the vacancy. The report laid before the last General Assembly stated that steps had been taken witli a view to the submission this year (jf a name for the new professorship in theology, 'if the establishment of which the Assembly had given its consent. It is [)ropoHed that the new member of th staff should be professor of systematic theology and apologetics in the Department of Theology, and joint lecturer on philosophy in the Arts Department. Fur this position the Board unanimously roconnnend the Rev. Thomas H. Kilpatrick, D.D., minister of Ferryhill Free Church, Aberdeen, Scotland, and the (Jeneral Assembly is asked to appoint him to the position. Dr. Kilpatrick is not only highly recommended liy competent judges in Scotland, with whom correspondence has been held, but at the invitation of the Board he visited Canada last summer, and delivered a series of lectures ill the College, which have excited high expectations with respect to his future usefulne.ss. Dr. Kilpatrick has signified his willingness to accept the positijii if he is appointed by the (Jeneral Assembly . A detailed statement of the accounts and funds, duly audited, is presented herewith. The gifts from transatlantic sources include £100 from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, a continuance of their generous donation ; £50 from the Church of Scotland, and I'-H to the Scholarship Fund from Mrs. Barbour, of Bonskeid, Scotland, for which gifts the hearty thanks of the Board are due. The Presbyterian Church in the Maritime Provinces has continued to lay the North- ^\t'st under obligation by its annual c(jntribution of 80OO. Two of these sums are acknowledged in this report, one received in May, 18i)8, and the other in April, 189!). • '■ngregational contributions from the Provinces of Ontario and Quel)ec amount to •S-'. H!2.'.(0, an increase of more than ^400 over last year, but considerably short of the giving of previous years. This increase, however, is offset by a falling off in the personal cdiitributions for the summer session, which a year ago stood at .Sl,r)75, and this year fell to SI, 090. This money has been mainly due to the personal solicitations of the Rev. Dr. Robertson, and the Board relies with confidence on the hope he has expressed that the deficiency may yet be made up. The amount contributed by the Synods of Manitoba and the North- West and of lUitish Columbia was S;3,800, the same amount as last year. The amounts received from interest on investments was S4,.'i40.95, an increase of ir'HiO over the previous year. The total receipts for the ordinary fund, including a balance in hand of $804.04, was •Sl'2,49«]..S2, as compared with $22,757.80 of the previous year. This includes ^«!8,010.l;^ for fees of students in arts and board of resident students. The expenditure has been St ■I 1 "n 216 $22,413.70, leaving a balance on hand of $82.62. The total balance on hand amounts to $3,354.88, of which, in addition to the sum already specified, $727.59 belongs to the Scholarship Fund, $1,302.67 to the Endowment Fund awaiting investment, and S[.-di2 to the Contingent Fund. This Fund, in accordance with the resolution of the licjird, consists in the income from interest on ' investments above a given rate to provide for any possible loss in the capital of any of these investments. Four hundred and twenty dollars has been added to the fund this year. A considerable addition has beeii made to the library, especially in the departinL-iit of English Literature which hitherto had been meagrely represented. The numbor of volumes now in the library is 6,350. The Board contemplates with much regret the removal of its chairman, Sir Tliumas Taylor, from the city. He has occupied this position for the past ten years and has given much time and thought to the advancement of its interests. The Board follows liim with its good wishes to the city of Toronto, w'aere he has taken up his residence. The death of Dr. King left vacant the position of principal and that of trerisurcr. The duties of these officers are, by appointment of the Board, filled respectively by the Rev. Dr. Bryce as acting principal, and by the Rev. Professor Baird as Treasurer. All of which is respectfully submitted, Wintiipeg, May 15th, 1899. GEORGE BRYCE, CItainnan pru tti REPORT OF THE SENATE OF MANITOBA COLLEGE FOR THE YKAR 1898-9. The Senate of Manitoba College presents to the General Assembly the following report for the year 1898-9. The record of remarkable health vouchsafed, with a few exceptions, to the College for so many years, has this year been broken. The Principal of the College, who was head of the Senate, has been taken from us. His worl\, so laboriously and faithfully done, is at an end, and he rests from his labors. Long will his works follow him. To him the class-room was a delight, the interests of the students were his supreme thought ; and his devotion to duty, his thorough preparation for the work of the day, and his enthusiasm in the many subjects which he wiis called on to teach, will long remain an inspiration to succeeding bands of students. The Work in Arts and Theology has been conducted with great regularity. The number of students in the theological classes, which this year opened in April, has reached thirty-nine — thirteen in the third year, twelve in the second year, and twelve in the first year, and two special, the largest attendance in theology ever reported to the General Assembly from the College. The number enrolled in Arts was l.").'), a larger number in the University classes than ever before reported, though a few less in the preparatory department. The aggregate attendance in arts and theology had thus been 194. I. THEOLOGY. Last report gave the names of eight in the graduating year. Of these, sincf last meeting of the General Assembly, two have been settled in important charges in the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories, four are missionaries in British Columbia, one is pursu'ng a post graduate course in Edinburgh (of six applicants for the first half of the B.D. course he alone passed), and one is a probationer. In the session of 1897-8, Dr. King lectured in Greek and Hebrew Exegesis, as well as in Systematic and Biblical Theology. Professor Baird took the classes in Hehriw, Church History and Introduction. Professor Falconer of Pine Hill College, Halifax, relieved Dr. King of Greek Exegesis during the latter part of the session, and Proftn'^or Ross of Montreal Presbyterian College for the second time lectured on Homiletics uid Church Government. 'Mi 1 1 217 The College was exceedingly fortunate in obtaining a course of lectures in " Chris- tianity and Philosophy" from Rev. T. U. Kilpatrick, pastor of Ferryhill Free Church, Aljerdeen. Mr. Kilpatrick, who has lately received the degree of D.D. from Glasgow University, made a deep impression both as a lecturer and preacher in Winnipeg, and this led to the desire to have him added to the permanei^fc staff of the College. The warmest thanks are expressed by the Senate for the assistance so cheerfully and etticiently rendered by the gentlemen named, as coming to aid the regular staff. Training in voice culture was given to the students of the graduating year by Mr. David Ross, Professor of Music in Winnipeg. During the session now in progress Professor Baird is taking his usual subjects in Church History, Introduction, and Hebrew. The Board has to be congratulated on securing large assistance from friends of the College. No doubt the sad circumstances in which the College was placed by the death of Dr. King made the response of those who came so willingly even more hearty and cordial. For this the Senate is grateful. Rev. Principal Mac Vicar of Montreal has taken, up to the time of the Assembly, the 8ul)jects of Systematic Theology and Homiletics ; Dr. Scrimger for the third time has conic to the assistance of the College in the important subjects of Greek and Hebrew Exei;osis, and will remain till the end of June, and has laid the College under deep obliiiiition by giving instruction in elocution. From the time of the General Assembly till tlie end of the session, Rev. Dr. Gordon, of Pinehill, Halifax, and formerly pastor of Knox Church, Winnipeg, will give a course of lectures in Biblical Theology and Apologetics. In the month of May the Rev. Dr. Iverach, a well known professor of Free College, Aberdeen, who had just given a course of lectures on theism in New York gave fifteen lectures on the same subject in the College. These lectures which were in the onvocation Hall of the College, were largely attended, not only by students but by citizens of Winnipeg. The reception given Dr. Iverach was most hearty and appreciative. Arrangements have been made for a short course of four lectures on " IVlissionary Problems and Methods," by Rev. John C. Gibson, D.D., a missionary of the Knglish T'reshyterian Church at Swatow, China, who will visit Winnipeg on his way fri)m Britain to China. A considerable Irish element among the Presbyterian people of Manitoba has f^.esired to have a visit from a representative of the Irish Church, which has been a lil)nral friend of the North-West. Prof. Hamill of Belfast College, and the Convener of the Irish Church Colonial Committee has been secured to lecture on a Theological topic during the month of August. It is hoped that Prof. Hamill may become much interested in the vast Home Mission field of the North-West. The students of tlieology now in attendance are as follows : III. Year.— W. A. Alexander, Joseph Ball, Dugald Bell, J. R. Frizell, B.A., 1). L. (iordon, B.A., L. S. Hall, J. W. S. Lowry, Alexander Mackenzie, F. O. McMahon, P..A., V. M. Purdy, B.A., J. R.

The annual examinations of the University of Manitoba are now proceeding, and ninety-nine students from Manitoba College are engaged in writing in the several Iniversity years. The preparatory classes of between fifty and sixty students have clone excellent work during the year, and act as a feeder to the regular Arts course. The Preparatory examinations take place about the end of May. The students who are writing tor their B. A. degrees for this year are nineteen in number and are as follows : Miss Elizabeth Bathgate, G. F. Campbell, Angus Condell, James Coutts, Miss ^n- ■in ; t n ■*■ 'Hr 218 Genevieve Duval, Robert D. Fletcher, Charles L. Foote, Thomas B. Gree, Dnvid Iverach, Albert Kidd, Charles W. Laidlaw, Constant L. Logan, Robert McMillan, Alexander McLean, Roslyn Mitchell, Thomas R. Peacock, James J. Poison, Archilinld W. H. Smith, David H. Stewart. Dr. Bryce has taken the'classes in Honor and General Pass English in the CoIle>j;R ; and has conducted the Department of Biology in the joint lectures arranged by the University of Manitoba. Prof. Hart has conducted the Honor Classics and French, as well as a part of tlie Pass Classics. Prof. Baird took the classes in Political Economy in the Mental and Moral Science Course, and from the time of the beginning of Dr. King's illness till the end of the session, the class in Calderwood's Ethics, and a part of the German in the several years. Up to the time of his illness. Dr. King had the classes in German, as well as thuse in Sidgwick and Calderwood. Mr. W. E. James, B.A., as in former years took the mathematics in the different years, and his time was fully occupied in this department. He also acted as resident tutor in the College. Mr. Frederick W. Clark, B.A., conducted the junior classes in Latin and Greek as well as part of the Honor Classics and rendered excellent service to the College. Dr. W. Manahan, M.A., Ph.D., who had taken his post graduate course with distinction in Cornell University, bore the burden of the Mental and Moral Science of the course. Mr. G. H. Davis, B.A., had charge of the English and French of the junior students, and gave his full time to this work. It is gratifying to the Senate to be able to state that Dr. Manahan and Messrs. Clark and Davis, all excellent teachers, are alumni of Manitoba College. During the year action was taken in accordance with the permission of the General Assembly towards making an addition to the permanent staff of the College. Rev. T. 15. Kilpatrick, D.D., of Aberdeen, was unanimously sele^-ted by the Board, and has expressed a willingness to accept the invitation should the General Assembly approve. Dr. Kilpatrick will be Professor in Systematic Theology and Apologetics, and lecturer in Philosophy. During the year the intercollegiate work between Manitoba and Wesley Colleges has been continued. Manitoba College has given instruction to the joint classes in mental and moral science, while Wesley College has taught, for the students of both Colleges, higher mathematics, and ever since the illness of Dr. King, higher German and some classes in the previous year. The Senate took immediate action in the line of the legislation of the General Assembly for the abolition of the literary course for students proceeding to the ministry. No new students were allowed to enter on this course and four students in the third year of the course finished their preparation, so that this course is now abolished in Manitoba College. A change in the curriculum is now being made in the University of Manitoba, which it is hoped will facilitate the carrying out of the plan laid down by the General Assembly. The Senate heartily approves of the course for preparatory students outlined by the General Assembly, but would suggest the addition of New Testament Greek in the third year. During the present summer session the course began on April 18th and will continue till September 19th. The general interests of the College have been well upheld during the past year, and the College Societies — Missionary, Literary and Athletic — as well as the College Journal, have been well maintained. The following are the scholarships given during the last summer sossion and the recipients of them : III. YEAR. The Robert Carswell Scholarship, $70 R. A. King, B.A. " Mrs. Barbour Ist prize 30 H.

All of which is respectfully submitted. Winnipeg, May 16th, 1899. GEORGE BRYCE, Acting Principal. I. ■.

It is gratifying to be able to state that the past year has seen considerable develop- ment in the various departments of the College, and a hopeful increase in the number of pupils and in revenue. The total number of pupils in attendance was one hundred and eight. Of these thirty-two were in residence. The general work of the College has been carried on efficiently by Miss McBratney, the lady prmcipal, and an able staff of teachers, whilst the Music Departiuent h.-s received a fresh impetus under the inspiration and guidance of the new director, Mr. Puddiconibe. The total expected revenue of the College is S10,0H8, and the total expenditure $9,560. These figures do not embrace the interest on the debt which for 'lis and next year is covered by t". guarantee fund. Over .^.'iOO have been spent in furnishings, and a similar amount wil ^e needed to complete the work, The Board re>;ret that they fiwd themselves unable to take over tht aebt upon the College. The Board, in accepting the trust laid upon them by the General Assembly, did so on the understanding that the debt was to remain as at r ^ent for three years, its interest being covered by the guarantee fund. This was r .aps a misapprehension of the intent of the Assembly, but certainly the Board wouid not have accepted the trust on any other condition. It is confidently expected that at the close of next year when the term expires, arrangements will be made entirely satisfactory to the Assembly. It is hoped that a scheme will be set on foot for the entire removal of the debt. The Board have pleasure in reporting that a committee of ladies has been appointed who hav6 already taken very kindly and helpful interest in the College and its welfare. They are also glad to be able to announce that Mrs. Anna Ross, Superintendent of the Ewart Training Home has been engaged in the capacity of House-Mother and religious instructor. Mrs, Ross will be a valuable addition to the staff. As "house-mother" her fresence will add much to the home comfort of the pupils, and her experience, nowledge and piety wiil secure for them the best possible religious influence. A college so fully equipped as this is becomes an educational home to which parents may send their daughters with the utmost confidence. Ottawa, May 20th, 1899. \V. D. ARMSTRONG, Managing Director. W. T. HERRIDGE, President. 225 I't' KEPOUT OF THE JK)ARI) OF DIRECTORS OK THE 15RANTFORD VOUNG LADIES' COLLEGE 1 OR li Tc tlie Vt'iu'mhle the General AssemJdii of the Pye.sbi/teridn Chmrh in Canaihi: The Directors of the Urrtutford Presbyterian L;ulios' Colle<,'e respectfully jiresent tiieir annual report as to the progress of the institution during the year ending lune .'iOth, 1899. The attendance during the year between regular l)()arder8 and day pupils has been 102. It is expected that nine students will complete their course in the Literary, Musical and Art dep?" tinents. During the year the College has been visited and the classes examined by Rev. Neil McPherson, B.D., on behalf of the Synod of Hamilttm and London ; and Rev. J. A. Grant, Richmond Hill, on behalf of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston. Their reports will testify as to the character of the work done in the College, the ([ualitications of the teachers and the proficiency of the students. Every ert'ort has been made to preserve and ensure a high standard in the different departments so that the graduates of the College may be well fitted either for University work, for teaching or as instructors in Music or Art. The Conservatory of Music connected with the College, has during the past year l)een an unqualified success, both as to the number of students and the results attained. The musical department is, as last year, in charge of Mr. W. Norman Andrews, F.G.C.M., London and Leipzic, and afliliated with the Toronto College of Music. Last year the Brantford College passed twenty-four students in the examinations of the Toronto College, four of these taking the artist's diploma (A.T.C.M.) This year Mr. Andrews expects to send up an equal number, and that five will take the artist's diploma. These examinations are conclusive proof that the musical instruction in the Brantford College is fully equal to the work done in the Toronto Conservatories. The teachers and governesses under the direction of Miss Phillpotts, the Lady Principal, have continued to do excellent work, being not only conscientious in the discharge of their academic duties, but watchful of the conduct and social life of the pupils committed to their care. The Art de{)artment also attracts considerable interest, and commendable progress has been exhibited under the direction of Mr. J. R. Seavey, although he has been but a very short time in charge. As to the future, the Rev. \V. R. Cruikshank, B.A., of St. Matthew's Presbyterian Church, Montreal, has accepted the position of Principal and Governor of the College. From Mr. Cruikshank's well known ability and scholarly attainments, and his familiarity with educational work both here and in the old land, there is every confidence that under his guidance the college will renew its strength, and with the ensuing year enter upon a still more useful and prosperous career. The Directors would repeat as in former reports, that no College offers greater attractions to studious young women, for home-like social comfort, for beauty and healthfulness of location, for excellence oi teaching or for the moral and religious atmosphere whicu surrounds it. For these reasons, as well as for the work it has done as the pioneer I'resbyterian College for now twenty-five years, and for its fidelity to Presbyterian and Evangelical truth, they claim for it even more cordial sympathy and greater patronage from the ministers, elders and members of the Presbyterian Church. All of which is respectfully submitted Brantford, May 20th, 1899. 8 WM. WATT, Jr., President. THOMAS McLEAN, Secretary.

The Committee in p'reaenting their report for the past financial year would acknow- ledge the goodness of God in the large measure of prosperity under which it was found possible to maintain the payment of the annuities on the modified scale of the past few years and also to reduce, somewhat, the adverse balance with which the previous year closed.

While but little has been done in the way of addition to the subscriptions previously reported, a very considerable amount of good work has been done in the matter of organizing in the different Presbyteries for a canvass in compliance with the decision 2H7 reached by the last Assembly. Communication has been had with the Clerk in each Presbytery in the Western t^'ection of the Church in the interest both of the En- dowment and Ordinary Funds, with the special object of securing some person in each Presbytery to take up the woi-k of canvassing for the Endowment. In a number of Presbyteries the matter has been considered, and in some cases a minister has been named for the work, but, as .\ rule, the matter has been left open with some one suggested for the work. The ful" Committee gave the matter great consideration and appointed a subcommittee to foUov up the work of organization in each Presbytery. This Sub-Committee has had before it the replies sent in from the Presbytery Clerks, most of whom responded sooner or later. The Committee exercised its judg- ment in the cases whore part'eo were not named, and selected one in the Presbytery deemed suitable foj the work, directing correspondence to be had with them. This was done with the result that some have been able to see their way to undertake the work, but in a number of cases the matter is indefinite. On the whole the Committee is hopeful that during the next two months the organization will be fairly complete, and propose that a general and vigorous effort be made in the early autumn to have the whole clo.sed by the end of the year, or at least by the close oi the Church's year. It is proper to state that the task given to your Committee is rendered much more ditticult from the fact that so many of the ministers are not themselves connected with the Fund, and also far too many seem to suffer from a false feeling as to the necessity for and claims of the fund. The Commit- tee has a strong C(mviction that the real trouble is not with the people, but that it really lies with the ministers in the way in which the claims of the Fund are presented. The noble response now being made by Mission Stations to an ;\ppeal sent out by the Treasurer to aid in wiping off the adverse balance at the close of oui year is an indi- cation of what could be done on a proper presentation of the case. Some of the larger and wealthier con'^regations might well take pattern from what the pt)i>rer places are doing. A special effort has been made to get in the balance of the subscribed but unpaid subscriptions, but only partial success can be reported, still the effort is being continued. ic is evident, however, that some of the subscriptions will not be paid, therefore in all probability it will be wise to make a fairly liberal discount, and in the effort now being made through the Presbyteries, it will be as well to ask for not less than fifty thousand dollars. The twenty thousand dollars promised by Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal will be forthcoming when the two hundred thousand shall have been reached in honn fide subscriptions. The Committee would press upon Presbyteries the necessity for hearty co-opera- tion in this matter, and ask them to see that the different pulpits will be open to the agent appointed to make the canvass. Furthermore, if the ministers themselves will set an example of liberality, as they may be able, it cannot fail to be moat helpful in the canvass of the people. The Committee proposes, except in a few special instances in which it may be found desirable to give more than one I'resbytery to the person, to pay travelling expenses and pulpit supply when absent. It is also proposed that subscriptions be paid either in cash or in one, or at most, one and two years. The hearty co- operation of all ministers in the effort will ensure success. Should a minister feel any delicacy in addressing his own congregation on the claims of the Fund an exchange with another minister for a day is suggested. •!l 5? ■ CENTURY FUND. The Committee has had under consideration the matter of the proposed Century Fund, and after full discussion came to the unanimous decision that the proposed move- ment was one which should commend itself to the members of our ""hurch, and should therefore be proceeded with. In the opinion of the Committee it will afford a suitable opportunity to our people to manifest, by means of a thank offering, their gratitude and thankfulness to God for his manifold mercies and blessings bestowed on our Church during the century now closing.

The Committee recommenda that the followin;^ b^ >.ilowoi. . "etire from the active duties of the ministry and go on the Fund for benefit : Reverenas /ohn Mackie, Robert Knowles. A. D. McDonald, D.D., A. T. Colter, Archibald Stewart, J. M. Munro, and William Peattie. In the cases of the Rev. Alexander MacKay, D.D., and Rev. Norman McPhie, iti the opinion of the Committee the medical examination is insufficient to prove that measure of infirmity which would justify the Committee in recommending that their applicatlcu.': be granted. In the case of Rev. A. T. Colter, he was allowed to retire by the Assembly in the year IBiKS, but some time afterwards, having improved in health, he took pas- toral work at Comber, and now comes forward again. Not having paid rates he is only entitled to half benefit. In the case of Kev. William Peattie, be was allowed to retire by the Assembly in 1885, and was placed upon the list of beneficiaries, but, before drawing benefit, his health being apparently improved and having entered into an engagement with the late Rev, Dr. Reid in the office of the Church, he made no claim for benefit. \o, however, he has now practically retired from that position, he makes application for reinstatement on the Fund, and the Committee has recommended accordingly. APPLICATION KOIl LEAVE TO CONNECT WITH THE Fl'ND. Application for leave to connect with the Fund has been received from the Rev. Dr. Campliell, of Victoria, B.C., Rev. F. J. McLiren, of Bel wood. Rev. Gavin Hamilton, of Cardston, N.W.T., and Rev. W. L. H. Rowand, Fort William, and the Committee recommends that their applications be granted. SPECIAL COMMITTEE'S REPORT OF 1898. ' The Committee in obedience to the direction of the Assembly gave careful consider- ation to the report of the Special Committee presented at the last Assembly and report as follows : For the convenience of Commissioners the different clauses of the Special Report are given and the reply of your Cinumittee follows each clause and is given in it«Jics. 1. That in the administration of the Fund the Committee (Western Section) be instructed to give the fullest ett'ect p')33il)le to the provisions of Rule 15, in relation to the short term annuitants who are on the list, when f» large reduction was made in the allowance to such annuitants, by a change in Rule 9.

I! 289 your Cumniittee recuinineiid that the oHicti uf A^ent mul SecretHty bu itWoliHhod ; but in the event of »ho Vusembly deciding that h canvaHH of the congregationa of the Church shall be cuntin led for the purpose of bringing the P]ndownient up to the minimum of §2(X),00(J, a minister or layman who has special gifts for such service boappointed for a limited period, and that the Secretarial work of the Committee and the collection of all moneys in connection with the Fund be placed in charge of the General Agent of the Church (VVeHtern Section.) The Co)nmittei' Jituh it ia dinposed of hij the <(dio)i of the Attsembbj. 3. That Rule 10 be changed to read as follows :— A minister who has not paid the annual rate into the Fund shall not be entitled to make any claim upon the Fund as as a matter of right, but his cause may be made the subject of special consideration by the General Assembly. The Ciimiaitti'i' after mdtnre delitiemtion decided to recommend the A^isi'mldij to repedl the R\d>' adopted in 18'J5, which ri'(td>i : ''^Thttt ccenj viitiifilcr mi hcinij ordoineil he olditied to connect hitnuelf irith the Aijed (ind Infirm Ministrr'n Fund idd become co)inected H'ith the Fimd at the date of ordinal <>.'., deems it tuiwise niider the circnmstances of the Cliurch to make a fixed rule m(dd>aj ' s a reiiuireuient. 5. That Rule 14 be changed to read as follows: — When a minister . hi paid rates to the Fund attains the age of sixty-seven years, he may olaiin the privi a of retiring from the active duties of the ministry, and of being i)laced upon th^i Fuiid. The judtjment of the Committee in reijard to thi.s recouimendation is, that ' nt'-cr merit tlierc mifiit be in loirerl' ■ '.he mje from seventy to si.rtijfire, ()iot sixtij-sece, ., t>ro- jX'sed,) the condititoi of the r'und at the 2)resent time trill not allow of such a chmoje tiei)ai made.

But for the grant from the Hymnal Committee, the adverse balance wr)ald have been considerably larger. For the timely assistance thus rendered the Committee desires to record its sense of gratitude. During tho year, lal congregations contributed 81860.99, as against 81430 by Id'i congregations during the previous year. The num1)er of contributing congregations fluctuates somewhat, hence we may hope for improvement next year. Including only settled charges, every third congregation contributed nothing to the fund. The same remarV is true of settled ministers, and deserves more than a passing notice. The numbei- of ministers who paid rates during the year was 140; number in arrears, six. Thai is to say, out of 217 settled charges in the Maritime Synod, 140 ministers and 151 congregations supported the fund. That there are ministers who secure collections, although not contributing rates themselves, we gratefully acknowledge. We need not be slow to recoj.^nize the tact that there are brethren whose reasons for not joining are altogether worthy. But the one word that explains why so many do not pay rates is NKiiLECT. We have it on the confession of the men themselves that they overlooked the fund, or hoped to pay a lump sum, and hence delayed until arrears have grown beyond their power to grapple with. Eleven joined the fund as contributing members during the year. While collections fell off somewhat, we note with satisfaction the revenue from rates was $200 in excess of the previous year. Your Committee feels warranted in saying that a larger number of young ministers are interested in the fund than at any previous time in its history. This we believe to be directly due to the regulation requiring every minister on being ordained to connect himself with the fund, or lose benefit. The number of annuitants at present is 23. During the year, one beneficiary, the Rev. James Gray, was removed by death. 241 The following; in the lint of annuitants an*! the amount paid to each : Rev. .laiiioH IJunnett, D.D !«i'JO ro^ul»ti(lnH uf tho Fund ruoomiMuiuiud by h Speciiil C'i)iiimittoo of the (Joiionil AMMomhly No opinion wtis uxprusHod ro^iirdinK thu Int and 'Jnd ruconnnundHtioni, for thi ruiinon tliiit they concern the WeHtern Kection of thu Church solely.

The object of this motion was to rescind the regulation passed in 18'.t5, obliging all Ministers henceforth on being ordained to connect themselves with thu Fund or lose all benefit. After discussion the Committee agreed to the following : — Foras- much as the regulation of 18!»r) has been found to work well we prefer that it should remain as it is.

T'l the VenernbU the Genentl Assemhhi Vour Cuiumitteu Hhvo to mourn the deiith, during tliu yunr, of the lato Mr. ThonmB Kirkland, who for the last tive yeiit-H has acted as (Jonvenur of the Committee, and who, with great aHsiduity and patienco, sought by every moanH within hin power to further thu interests of the Fund. Mr. Kirkland'a services were of exceeding value, und were ever given with cheerfulness and often at great self-denial, and his death will be a great I08H to the work of the Church. Your Committee are gratified to report that the revenue of the year was sutticient to meet the expenditure. This, however, was owing to special contributicms from the Pif.Hhijti'tiiin Ri-c.itril of 81,r»()(».(K) and from the Hymnal Committee of 8;{7r).0(), To these CommitteeH most cordial thanks are given. Had your Committei" l)eeu dependent last year on the ordinary sourceH of revenue, they would have been compelled to reduce the already small annuity paid to widows or to report a c()nsideral)le doKcit to the fJoneral Assembly. Owing to the exceptionally large number of deaths in the ministry during the year, the annuities paid were fully $2,()(MI.(M) in excess of those of last y«ar, and for the year to come will exceed 817, "»<•*•.•)(). The regular sources of revenue are interest from investments, ministers' rates, and congregational contributions. .\s stated in last year's rejiort, the amount of interest that can be relied upon regularly from year to year will be about iiiTi.OdO.OO, and the rates from ministers .^'i.oOO.OO. leaving 811, 'MXi.OK to be obtained from the congregnt ions of the ("Iiurch. The amount received from congregations last year was !?<>,2li2.2(i, so that if the annuities are to be continued on the present scale, the congregational contributions must increase eighty per cent. Your Committee .lesire to c^ll the special !ittentioi\ of the .\ssemlily to this fact. In allocating tl" i" missionary money, a large number of congregations do not apportion to this Fun-,: .t /thing likf the fair proportion it should get, according to the re(iuirement8 of the several schemes, and <|uite a number of other congregations fail to contribute anything at all to the Fund. The good faith and honor of the Church are at stake in this matter. The earlier ministers of thu Church, who labored in season and out of season, and bore the burden and heat of the day, when comforts were few and salaries small, contributed their personal rate from year to year to this Fund in the confident assurance tliat the Church would minister to the comfort of their widows in their declining years. The annuity from the Fund is the chief source of income of many of these widows, and to reduce the amount would not be to the credit of the Church, and yet the Committee are face to face with the necessity of reducing the annuity by twenty-tivt? or thirty percent., unless the citntributioiis from the congregations of the Churcii ; ■ more than double that of last year. It is earnestly hoped that such action will V>e tak m by the Assembly as to render this unnecessary. The Committee have no authority to draw upon the capital or to involve the Fund in debt, so that they are shut up to rspend only the amount placed at their disposal by the Church. The annual rates frou, .Ministers are now well paid up, only two or three being in arrears for the past year. The action of the Assembly of 1H',)M und IStl? has been productive of good and all now realize that the payment of the annual rate regularly each year is necessary to continue connection with the Fund.

To th • V(.')ierabl(i the General Assembly of the Presh\iterian CInorli in CuiKuhi iwt in IL..,Jlton June, IS'JH, for the yenr IS'JS-'J'J : It nppears only fitting that the Committee should introduce tlieir report In- reference to the break in their numbers made by the death of Dr. Cochrane, wliu was for so many years connected with the work entrusted to them by the Geut'r.il Assembly ; who, it may be said, was at no time absent from any of their meotiii'^s, who took a warm interest in the business brought up, and whose keeness of perception and prompitude of decision were so helpful in the effectiveness (jf their administratiim. The last meeting he attended was in September, 18!)8, and before the following one in December he had been gathered to those who have passed from time into eternity, and been called home to the Father's house of many mansions, and to the reward wliicli is assured to all those who are faithful to death in the service of Christ. His name will never be forgotten by those associated with him in Distribution work, and his iriHuence will never cease to be felt by them. In him those men who placed themselves undur the Committee for appointments had a friend ; and the vacancies which were reported for supply by I'resbyteries, one who tenderly and earnestly consulteu their interests. A resolution expressive of their sense of the loss they had sustained through his removal, and of condolence with the widow and other members of his family under their bereavement was adopted by the Committee at their meeting in December, and a copy sent to the immediate relatives. Your Committee do not know that they can add much, if any, important irfnr- mation to that contained in Appendix No. I. and No. II. to this report. The complaint of former years may be repeated, that in several instances, although not in so many as on some former occasions, Presbyteries have failed to recognize the dity laid upon them by the Supreme Court of the Church, whosp injunction should lie regarded as obligatory, and whose recommendations even shoi;;;. oui'it respect, to repurt all the vacancies in their bounds prepared to Ciill, for full or purvia? . iijnly. On the other hand instances can be given, and they will at once be nL'cn i/j hose who examine Appendix I., in which there has been faithful c." ipliante wUhtfu' -.nil of l.he Asseml)ly. It may be that some of the Presbyteries not reporting ji, .; no vacancies, and that they considered that circumstance suthciant justification for their silence, but it is submitted that respect for the Committee, and the principle of propriety shuuld have jirompted them to acknowledge the receipt of the circular which was regularly issued to all Presbyteries in the territory with which fchey have to do. One feature has presented itself in the reports of some Presbyteries common tn former years as well as to the one with which this report deals, namely, the occurrence of a vacancy through the dismission or translation of its minister, but left in such a state that it cannot call, and has to be placed under the care of a student to lie brought up to the status from which it had been reduced under a settled pastor, 'i'iie fact 's a suggestive one, and appears not to speak well of the active interest which Presbyteries are bound to take in the welfare of the charges intrusted to their over- sight, but further re^if.rks must be withheld, for they branch out in more directions than one. Then tho .j'.rn.non proceedure is to forward the name of the minister who lias resigned to the Cornniittco f )r app >intment to other vacancies through the Presby- teries in whose bounds they pxist. On looking at App?ndJx I. it will be seen that there are still some vacancies in which Gaelic is ind'nj'.'iisalWe airlough the number 0/ these is comi)aratively small. Your Conunittee, h i\ve er, Jk^e of o[)inion .i-it they have not got the names of aU such, for the reason, probabi> , t!ac fo." a considerable titno they had no j)robationer8 at their disposal who ct-idd otl) iace in ^hat language, and wiiile it is true that there has been one on the roll lately, y^. lie hao '.ot been chosen foi such a field. 249 From Appendix I. it appears that 72 vacancies were reported for supply during t!ie year. Settlement for mission or regular pastoral services took place in 21 of these, so that at the time of compilling this report there were 50 remaining. The Presbyteries from which vacancies were not reported were Huron, Mivitland and Alii'inia. Those of Toronto and Guelph reported the largest number, nine and seven. Ill some cases it was stated that the vacancy reported was not in circumstances to call, iviul in some that it was under stated supply, either by a student or some other. Unless in instances in which a greater number was asked, the (Committee confined themselves in their distribution to four Sabbaths as a general principle for each vacancy each ([uarter. While Zion Church, Bransford, appears among the vacancies reported by Paris Piesljytery, it excused itssolf, and was excused by the Presbytery on the ground that it iiiid engaged for pastoral work since the death of their late pastor, a man whose name was on the probationers' roll. The argument or excuse must be viewed in the light of the fact that it was not by the appointment of the Committee he was thus engaged, nor after consultation with them. The whole was a matter of private arrangement, but t(i meet this the probationer was given his full proportion of appointments in Paris Presbytery for the quarter just ending. 4 The 1 2 vacancies above mentioned were reported by the following Presbyteries Quebec, Montre;^], Lanark and Renfrew, Kiugston and Whitby, 1 each . . 5 (Jtfawa, Brockville, Peterborough, Barrie, Owen Sound, Bruce, Sarnia, Stratford and North Bay, 2 each 18 Gleng.Hrry and Lindsay, 3 each (J Orangeville, Saugeen and Hamilton, 4 each 12 Chatham and Bruce, 5 each 10 fruelph and London, <> each 12 Toronto, i These vacancies were reported by 24 Presbyteries, three Presbyteries either not .■;iiirting or reporting no vacancies. Alt>iough the Committee, since the meeting of Assembly in Toronto, have dis- cn tionavy power as to admission to the roll ot names certified by Presbyteries, yet they exercise it with considerable caution, and it is only unler a strong sense of duty to the interests of vacancies that any are refused. But in one instance they fun.iid themselves obliged to do so, and they are of the opinion that the Presbytery (orvvarding the name should approve of their action, although on this being made known to them they have recorded their disapproval and repeated their request to hfne the name accepted. There are Presbyteries still who seem to think that the •'iterests of the minister to whom they give their certificate, and not those of the Chi;vch, are the matter to be first regarded. Let it be repeated that the probationers' roll, in the view of your Committee, for the sake of vacancies should be composed only of men who are acceptable as preachers and likely to be called. Your Committee were under the disagreeable necessity of withdrawing appointment frdiii one because of representations sent in as to his physical inability for the work Due notice was given to him and the Presbytery by which he had been certified. One name was omitted because other engagements interfered with his fulfilment of probationary work, another because appointments had not been kept and no ream sent for not doing so, another through expiry of tir^e ; four withdrew their names Your Committee began their year with 22 names on the roll. To these, eight wore added at their meeting in September, three in December, three in March, and one since, making' a total of .37. Of these, 11 had settlements either in Mission Fields or regular pastorcvl charges, four have withdrawn, five have been removed for one cause or another, and there are now 17 on. Of the full list three names were sent in by the Presbytery of Hamilton ; six by tliat of Barrie ; the same by Toronto ; 2 each by the Presbyteries of Brockville, Peter- borough, London, Kingston and Sarnia, and one each by Stratford, Guelph, Orangeville. Portage la Prairie, Calgary, Melita, Ottawa, Maitland, Halifax, Lindsay and Saugeen, one name not yet certified. From these figures it will be seen that the Presbyteries in the Western Section are largely represented in forwarding the names of men for . i ■ t f I ! 250 ■work ; and, also, that there are some both in the far east and far west who send luiines to the roll, but cannot take appointments. Were the roll composed only uf wmn belonging to the section a greater proportion of appointmants could be given in ,he Quarterly distribution. It may well be supposed that the thoughts of your Committee have been directed nt every one of their meetings to the character of the scheme under which it has luen sought by the Assembly to keep in touch with Licentiates and Ministers who havi^ no stated work and yet are desirous of obtaining it ; and with those charges in Prusliy- teries that do not enjoy the privilege of stated ordinances. Every year this has bten impressed upon the Committee, as will appear from the reports that have lieen presented, and recommendations and changes that have beeii proposed. Circumstanoes which there is no need to specify ha\*e brought the subject afresh and with greater power before your Committee now reporting. And they trust they will be pardoned in lay ng before your Assembly the following scheme, which has engaged their consideration, and the adoption of which, either as submitted or with some modifications, would, tliey humbly think, be followed by satisfactory results. It will be remembered that it wns with it the Interim Ant which was so long in force as such and which was perniamiitly had its inception in its early stages. From them have proceeded the amendni>nts which have been made from time to time. It will not then be regarded as out of place if they propose the following scheme, which may be discussed in connection with the returns that are received from Presbyteries to the Remit of last Assembly r<; Supply of Vacancies : I. COMMITTEE. 1. That a Committee on the supply of vacancies be appointed for the Western Section of the Church, including the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, it not beini^ possible to include the districts of the Maritime l*rovinces, Manitoba and British Columbia on account of the extent of territory over which they spread, and other „'eo- graphical considerations. 2. That this Committee shall consist of live me^nbers appointed annually by the General Assembly, so chosen as to ontail the least expense consistent with efficiency. 3. That it shall be the duty of this Committee to meet at least (carterly for pre- paring and publishing a Quarterly sche ae of distribution and the discharge of (jtlier competent business. 1. That they shall call for and receive from Presbyteries in the Section re})orts of the nameb a' all vacancies in their bounds prepared to call, and the names of Licenti.ites and Ministers without charges desirous of employment traong these vacancies. 5. That in preparing the roll of Licentiates and Ministers without charge apj)lyii.g for appointments, care shall be exercised to !; kve it composed only of such as are likely to be called, and for this purpose it shall be competent for them to decline the immediate insertion of any name that may be forwarded if, in their judgment, there is good reaicju for doing so ; but that they communicate to the Presbytery their reasons for their acnmi, and on reply from them may reconsider their decision and either change or reaffirm it - all such ca,ios to be reported to the Assembly. 6. Th .1 each Licentiate or Minister may have his name continued for appointnunts two years iiom the date of its insertion on the roll, when it shall be dropped, unless satisfactory reasons can be assigned for its being retained for a longer period. 7. That in making distribution the Committee shall observe such order as is most likely to secure a heating for the probationers in all the vacancies, thus giving 'he opportunity of mutual accjuaintance. II. PROBATIONERS. 1. That the roll of probationers shall consist of all Licentiates and Ministers without charge, certified by Presbyteries and accepted by the Committee. 2. That in the uruer of names a distinction shall be made between licentiates ind ministers, the first place being assigned the latter. 3. Probationers will be expected to fulfil the appointments aiven them, un! '?■; relieved by the Presbytery to whose bounds they are sent, notice of such relief to 1 it once sent to the Committee who may appoint others in their places. 251 I. Probatiuners Hgaiiiat whom complaintH may be ludged for not fultilliiii< their a|i|)(.!iitment8, for inefficiency or unacceptablene8B,ahall have their appointments withheld or witlidrawn, intimation of this to be sent to them and to the Presbytery certifying them. .■). Probationers are refjuired to acknowledge the receipt of the list of appointments^ for the (.Quarter by the first Post, and to apply at once to the Conveners in charge of vacancies in Presbyteries for their appointments in the bounds. •i. In accepting a call probationers shall at once give notice to the Convener of the Committee, and to the Presbytery's Convener in charge of vacancies to whose bounds he has >>een assigned. 7. Unless in exceptional cases prolmtioners are to remain in the vacancy through the week, and undertake such pastoral work as may be required by the Session. III. PUESBVTERIES. 1. Three weeks before the close of each (Quarter Presbyteries shall, through the I'dnvener of their Committee on the supply of vacancies, rej)ort to the Convener of the A-sembly's Committee vacancies in their bounds prepared to call for at least one-half 8U[)|ily, or seven Sabbaths of the (^>uarter. 'J. That they ruport the names of all Licentiates open to appointments at the time of licensing them, and the names of Ministers applying for work, but thuse shall be only of such as have had stated charge of congregations in their bounds for a period of not less than four years, unless in some special chors .''>. That a name which has once appeared on the roll shall not be admitted a second time unless the person has withdrawn to enG;a^;e in Mission work under a Presbytery, or the Home Mission Committee, or from some special reason. 4. Presbyteries shall look after the supply of vacant pulpits in their boundf, ■■i.'l rei|uire a report at each regular meeting of the supply that has been provided since rhiir previous meeting. 5. Except in very particular cases students shall not be admitted to the pulpits of vacant charges, neither settled ministers, to the exclusion of those sent by the Committee. (i That in making application for supply eanh ([uarter Presbyteries shall have opportunity of stating objections to the appointment of any probationer on the list, ami shall send the same to the Committee for their consideration. IV. REMUNERATION. That the following rate of remuneration be re(}uired far the services of each pro- bationer per week : In vacancies in which the salary paid the former pastor was from .*HOO-$i.OUO $10 " " 81,eoii jointil to Heiitya Ciiuroii. . .

It will be observed tiiat in iVivminj;- tin- ((ui-stions for this year, the lines followed in the ([ueries of last year hav(^ a^ain to some extent been made the subject of intpiiry; also that scmie aspects of the Church's work not referred to in these haviM)een introduced. Tt is the ho|)e of the (Jommittee that the discussion awakened and the information elicited by tlu'se investipitions may lead to practical results benelicial to the whole Chundi. It is no doubt of importance that the attention of every session should be called by such in([uirics to the ends for which the Church exists, and the l of aspiration and attainment. THK Cir.Vl{A<'Ti:H OF THF^ RKPOIM'S. All of the reports received from the Presbyteries, with the exception of not more than three or four, have evidently been p;epared with much care, and in manifest sympathy with the subjects. Not a few of them are of superior excellence. These no doubt would be much appreciated, and render j^ood service in the respec- tive Presbyteries in which they were discussed. They testify not only t» the zeal of the Conveners, but to the conscientious consideration which the subjects received iu the Presbyteries. The reports cover a very wide field, a tield extendiu":; from ocean to ocean, and while we consider them, we should bear in mind tlu' work which sister Churches are doiuj; within the same ti-rritory. Our report is neces- sarily confined to estimating, as justly as possible, the conti'ibution which our (»w!i Church is making to the building up of the moral and religious life of our country. But in regard to such (jUestions as the Sabbath, Temperance. Education, and some ; i t ? n ^ IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) // .^ .^^. /./ ai- rived at.

(It) Do the methods employed to collect for the schemes reach eil'c«'tively all the mcnd)crs and adherents of the con- gregation, and which method do you consider best? I attendance. The response of the people to the claims of Christ in the matter of attending iijuin His oron the regularity of their attendance, a high standard 111 attendance is maintained. Some rei)orts comi»lain that a ]iortion of tlie jieojde Mi'e in 'lining to the habit of a half day attendance. Some preferring the morning, :uid some the evening. This is not a healthy sign. A vigorous and growing relig- ious life is not shown in diminishing attendance on divine worship. It rather manifests itself in an increase of duties discharged. The view that a half-day iitteiidance is all that is reciuired of us, and a jtractice in accordance with this, is (•(iiMiteiianced and Justilied even by members of the Church. This is not the pliicc to discuss the (|uesti(m. liut it may be (thservcd. that a diminishing attend- ance on the i)id)lic worship of (iod. where it is found in an individual, or in a cniigregation, indicates a declining religious life. It does not indicate growth (ill er in sjiiritual intelligence or strength. The piety that is so sound, that it can dispense with one service, ccmld on the same grotmd dispense with both. I'unctn- ality and regularity in this duty are essential to the building ujt of Christian ciiaracter. The Church has always found it necessary that there should be two fliets of public worship, not only that all the people may have an oi»i»ortunity of worshii»i)ing (Jod. but because they reipiire this for their religious instruction. These are the only opportunities they have to receive it. The two servi<('s allbrd brief enough time for that purjjose in the cotirse of a week. There are many of the jieople for whom a second service must be maintained. These members of the Church then, who being able, neglect the worship of God on one part of the Sab- batii. are giving indications of a decline in their religious vitality, are setting an injurious example to their families, and to their r.eiglibors, are liindering and dis- couraging their pastor in his work, are not '"walking in His steps," "who as His custom was went in to the synagogue on the Sabitath day." PRAYER MEETING. In regard to attendance at the prayer meeting, much complaint is made tlirougbout the reports. If this ordinance is essential to congregational life, as m n sters generally hold it to be, if it is of divine sanction, then it should be better observed. Some reports speak of a large and encouraging attendance. This pos- sibly indicates that the fault is not wholly with the people. Prayer meetings have r; F' Umi Wllih ■if •260 often been known to be ezcopdingly dull and unprofitable. It may be that many of us pastors have not found out, or sought to find out, how to make it an accoptubiu service. In many localities, especially in rural districts, it is not possible to have a weekly prayer meeting. In others, it is not possible to have a large attendance. But where the localities are favorable, and a good attendance is possible, the re- ports show that largely attended prayer meetings are the exception, and not the rule. If by the claims of Christ in this regard, we mean, that He claims that there should be a large and regular attendance of men and women of our congregations ftt the weekly prayer meeting, then the claims of Christ are not being responded to as they should be, so far as this duty is concerned, in the majority of our cougre- eations. The meetings appear to be frequently more of a discouragement than a elp. This also your Committee regards as an unhealthy sign. It goes along with irregular attendance on the sanctuary. These are two points, which in the judg- ment of your Committee, require the constant, prayerful consideration of all our Sessions. HOME MISSION WORK. It is apparent that Home Mission work is often conceived of in too narrow a sense. To many it means no more than one of the schemes of our Church, a work done in outlying regions of our country by unknown agents under the orders of the Home Mission committee. Your Committee desired by the use of this term in the question, to respectfully call the attention of Sessions to wider and more scriptural meanings of what Home Missions mean. It includes the whole work of the Church or congregation in its own field. Every congregation is an organization for doing Home Mission work, and, as a number of the reports show, many pastors and congregations are alive to this fact, and are doing splendid Home Mission work. The need of directing attention to this view of the subject is attested by two facts, which should come under our cognizance in reviewing the life and work of the Church. First, that in not a few districts and towns, while the population has Increased, and other denominations have increased in numbers, our own Church has remained stationary. In the census returns some years ago, a fact was revealed that has never been explained, that there were a large number of Presbyterians in the country, who were not accounted for in the statistics of our Church. Second, in the neighborhood of many of our congregations, other agencies are at work to bring to the knowledge of the truth, and into fellowship with Christ, the people who are not connected with any Church, and who are living in entire neglect of religion. When each congregation becomes a centre of mission effort in its own district, the life of the Church will be revived. Your Committee would submit, that there is no reason for our glorying in the fact that, in comparison with a few years ago, our numbers have increased. Only some calamity or disruption could have prevented this. It would be a matter to thank God for, if we could show that some at least of the increase was the result of enlarged activity and zeal in bring- ing the people under the power of the gospel. The reports upon this head indicate that much loving willing service is rendered in all our fields, by the members of the Church, i^i. Sabbath school, and in visiting the afflicted and the stranger within our gates. Also, they show that upon the willing and already busy pastor, the larger part of the visiting that may be called mission visiting is thrown. They also indicate that in many Sessions, this part of their work has received no attention whatever. LAPSED PRESBYTERIANS. This subject does not lie heavily on the conscience of the Church, as shown in the reports. These do not indicate that any special attention is being paid to the gathering in of our outlying people. There are many who were brought up in our church, but are now attached to no Church. Rural congregations are constantly sending young people, and families as well, to town and city. These sometimes remain unvisited and undiscovered, and falling into careless habits, become lost to the Church. It appears also, that the careless and criminal classes, the former on 261 the streets and the latter in the jails, except in a few cases, receive no npeciul at- tention. These classes appear to he left largely to other agencies to be dealt with. At the same time it is manifest that when attention is called to any re«|uii-i'd per- vice for them, the pastori< and members of the Church willingly respond, lu the cities of Montreal and Toronto, and no doubt in other cities, though mention is not made of ii, these classes engage the sympathy of the Church, and valuable mission work is done among them by its devoted and earnest members. In the judgment of your Committee, there is room for greater attention being given to this uncared for section of our population, and for the cultivation of a mission spirit which will find work within the bounds of every congregation. The heathen at home are as much in need of the go.spel, as the heathen abroad, and though it is at their door require to have it pressed upon them. Rea-son as well as scripture teaches us, to expand our sympathy and benevolence first upon those within our borders who have not been brought under the teaching of the gospel. SOCIAL AND COMMERCIAL LIFE. So &r as the walk and conversation of the members of the Church is concerned, in social and commercial life, the reports testify that our people maintain their character for integrity and uprightness. It is still hap]iily the belief of our Church, that keeping the commandments of God at home, and in the market place is the best homage we can pay to Christ, and the best testimony we can render to cur faith. SCHEMES OF THE CHURCH. In regard to these, it is manifest, that while the whole amount contributed by our people to them looks large, it is not so large as the Presbyteries think it might be. There is yet room for a great advance in the grace of liberality in the support and extension of the gospel. When we consider the doles and dribblets meted out by those to whom God has given so much, for the upholding of the go.spel at home, and the sending of it abroad, the view is discouraging. Your Committee has in miud, and it is necessary that we should, the large expenditures in many fields, in building operations, in the payment of debts, in the support of local and general charities, and philanthropies, which are generally undertaken by the liberal and willing workers of the Church. But there is a large residuum of stagnant member- chip from which the streams of benevolence flow scantily, or not at all. The testi- mony is, that while many do well, and liberally in their contributions, and the sum total raised is creditable to the Church, yet that we are very far from having reached the maximum in this field of Christian effort. The claims of Christ, as set forth^in the schemes of the Church, are not so generously responded to as they should be. RELATIVE CLAIMS. Bo far as the reports show, the relative claims, which the schemes have upon the people for support, have not been discussed before them. This discussion could •carcely be avoided, if each of the schemes were brought under review, as it should be. It is recognised, that contribiu.ig money without an intelligent idea of the work in which it is to be expended, and of how much is required, is an unsatisfac- tory proceeding. It will not be done willingly. Yet it appears that a large part cf our contributions is given without an intelligent understanding of the relative claims of the various schemes. We should not separate in the regard of the people one part of the Church's operations from another. Each congregation is a partner in the whole work. But there is a divine order in which these schemes stand in relation to one another, and in relation to their claim upon the people. It seems to be indicated in the Apostle's words: "If any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his •wn house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

To theeom^ctiieHH of t Ids statement, the Treasurer will no doubt willingly testify. Thi-^ question was brought before Sessions in order to eall their attention to tbo necessity of promptitude and punctuality in this matter. MKTH0D8. As to the methods employed in gathering in the ofllerings of the people, there is manifestly a great variety in use. There is no part of tlie Churcjj's worl< in whieii there is less unity, and less of principle, and greater \niwisuting. These congregations go on from year to year coniented witli their snuill contribution for their own sujtport, and largely oblivious of all the work which is being done outside of their own borders. The jtastor is often pow«Mless to prevent or improve upon tliis state of affairs, however nuich «lissatisfied with it he may be. Tlu' reports do not show that the Presbyteries have considered which is Die best means to be used to this cud. or that they have recommended any particular methods. It would serve no jmrpose to eiuimerate here all the nu-thods which arc in use. It is obvious that metiuids must be adapted to the localities in wiiidi tlicy are employed. Vour CVmimittee is of o])inion that this subject should receive very much more attention from the I'resltyteries. It is not a matter of how much the people ou" o give, but how best to secure that every nu'mltcr and adherent shall have ai. ycd in peace and (piietncss ; while complaints come from other j)hiccs. in rural parts as well as from towns and cities, of the «lesecration of the day. The love of jih-asure, and the greed of gain are setting in motion various new modes of iiccomplishing this. The reports show that the old and pcr|ictual battle is going iin ; that here, in the very centre of the held, the encn>y jircsscs most persistently. They also show that (iod's peojde are in some nu-asure alive to the situation, and lire doing all in their jmwer to prote«'1 the day from the assaults that are being made upon it. The members of the Church as a rule, so far as the reports indicate, ab.stain from travelling av Aot in \ariinis (|naiters and the ex j tressed deter- mination of many to work for tiie intrednetiun of a • ( (nitiueiiiai Sunday," make the existence of such a body as the .\lliance vciy necessary : liut its success will d»']tend in a large measure on the synijiathy and suiijtort accorded to it by the Churches. Though the Sabbath is seriously tlircatened not only in Ontario but in other Provinces of the Dimunion, it is too apparent that the great majority of the Christian jieople do not realize the seriousness of the crisis wlii<'h is ujion us. Ontario courts have decided that any person using street cars on the Lords Day is a "traveller ' in the sense of the Act, that the Act does not a] )i)ly to corporations, that servants of corj)orations are also exempted from the operation of the Act. and that no clas.roniised to submit to the Court of Appeal a special case for the double purpose of removing all ambiguities in the Lord's Day Act and of determining the validity of Provincial legislation regarding the Sabbath. Ill 2<)4 This lattnr object bocoinos necessary in view of the decision of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia that all Provincial logiHlation on thu Lord's Day is incompetent. "Tlu; Alliance gladly co-operatod with the friends of the Lord's Day in Cale- donia in securing the removal fVom the Bill regarding the construction of the Hamil- ton and Caledonia Radial Line, a clause enabling the company to operate their lint on the Lord's Day. The Alliance ^^Iso — but without success — united with Mends of the Sabbath in Ottawa in opposing a like provision in 'An Act Respecting the City uf Ottawa.

IV. As Shown in Relation to Social Questions. 1. To what extent does intemperance interfere with the work of the Gospel la your parish, and are any means employed to educate the young in tem- perance as inculcated in the Word of God ? (a) Is the sin of intemperance increasing or diminishing in your community? (b) What is the chief hin- drance to the work of the Gospel in your neighborhood? Is it intemper- ance? t. Is any effort made by the Church to exert a religious influence upon the publio schools, and to see that the law in regard to the teaching of religion is carried out? 8. Is any effort made by the Church on behalf of the poor and t?is unemployed ? 4. Have you any suggestion on the influence which the Press, the reading of ths people, or the amusements of the people have upon their religious life? The Church is accused of neglecting social questions, and this not only by her enemies. There is being formed under her very shadow, and in the midst of her operations, a civilization marked by vices, oppressions and degradations, as nlion to Christianity, as fatal to the well being of human society, as those which are found among the heathen. The Church appears to be confined within limits of operation, outside of which a world of iniquity lies untouched by her influence. This state of things is more apparent in older lands, but it is beginning to b« realized in some directions in our new country also ; hence your committee regards this sphere of the Church's work as of very special importance. The question sub- mitted under this head means, does the Church respond to the claims of Christ, in dealing with those conditions in society which are evil, with the demorali:rfng forces wliich are creating these evil conditions, and make use of the means which God htt^ put into her hands to resist and overcome them. intemperanob. It is asked, how far intemperance interferes with the work of the gospel in the parish. Some reports in reply, speak in very strong terms of the sin of in- temperance in its general aspects. On this it is not necessary to dwell. We know that the word of God regards the drunkard to be as much a sinner as the thief, or even as the covetous man, or the extortioner. It is very gratifying to learn thai the overwhelming testimony of the reports is to the effect, that intemperance does not interfere to any serious extent with the work of the gospel within the bounds of our congregations. The reports from a number of districts state, that within them there is no intemperance existing. While in many others, it is said that it is not so prevalent as to interfere with the work of the congregation. Some of thes* reports are f^om localities in which there is no opportunity in the immediate neigh- borlMod to purchase intoxicants. But a like testimony is borne by others ft-oa •mr, «li~tt'i('tH in which sii<-h opportunities do cxlHt. Kvcn in thoKi' coniniiiniticH in which (iiiiiphtiiit is niaih-, tinit intcntpcnincc ilocs interfere to some extent with ihc woric (iltiic frospel, it is it<-)\nowletl^e a lew exceptions unaninions in testifying' that in tlio iicijilil»orhoo(ls represi-ntcd intemperance is iliminishiiii;. It is, however, rcporti'd that in some distrit-ts the conditions are not so faNoraltle. The situation is more ijillicuh. Tlie population is of mixed nationality and training. 'I'lie environment is not conducive to a hijfli standard. In stnne of tiie newer setth-nients of the country particidarly, loud complaint is made of tlie prevalen<'e of intemperance, and (it the evil inlluen<'es of the saloon. Vet taking into ae<-ouiit the conditions in these localities, the variety of national <'haracter, the hardships encountered, the piist hahits of lif(> under which the people are found; also the tact that religions ordinances uuiy not have been enjoyed except at lonn intervals, and that the moral tind religions forc(>s have been Init a brief period in operation, it is most encourag- ing to learn that the evil of intemperant'c. with its baleful attendants, is decidedly diminishing. It is nuinifest also from the replies nuide, that the rising generation in the Church is being diligently taught by parents, pastors, and .c intoxicants. .Multitudes of the youth of tlu* laud, have cither inclination iu>r temptation to be intemperate in the use of intoxicating drink, who are every tation to sin of a mon- deadly <'haracter. But fnnn the rep«)rts it apjtcars that attention has been given to shield the youth inineipally fVom the sin of drunki'iiness. The testimony on this whole subject cd" the Church's coiulition in relation to intemperance, is su<'h as the Church should recognize with thankfuliu'ss to (Jod. As oiu' report states "our eon- iiegations are composed of temperate peoph-. ami to a large extent of total abstainers. Tin s is in a large measure true of all the congregations (»f tlie Church. The efforts made by the Church to inculcate the duty of tem- perance have not been |»nt forth in vain. Shoidd the same rate of progress maintained in recent years be continued, the day is not far distant we may hope, when our country, already coiispicU(ais for the temperanct' of its ]M)])ulation, will not depend on the favor of governments to protect the peojile from tins great evil. Its defence will be found, as it is now found, in an enlightened jtuldic eon- scii-nce. This will in resi>ect to this social condition, as in resjtect to other social i)arent. defeat, there should be no l>ackward movement on the part of the country, neither should there be any looking back on the i)art of the f * R>l t • *-^MW^i»w ajtit m- '^} I! 2(50 1i ' .t m'T Chiircli. wliirli liiiH siruii) 'r«'iii|M-riiiin' pluii^li.

The answers to the i|iiestioii : What is the chief hindraiiee to the work of I In frosjK'l in your iiei^hhorhood ? are such as to awaken de»'p solieiliide. and to sii;;- ^est ini|uiry. The testimony is unanimously to the ell'e< t that the chief hindranri' is no one vice, or no one form id'siii. The chief hindrance to the carrying; on ni tin* work (d'Christ with success is stated in the reports, with striking: unanimity, i.. he a spirit of indiU'ereiice to divine things. .\ loiiK list of liindraiK-es, su<-li as all are familiar with, mi^^lit he withered from the reports, hut this is the evil which is deplored hy all of them as the most proini neiit, and the most haUling. It is a condition of spiritual stupor, a mind iiiiij t(>iiiper which makes no res)i(iiise to earnest ajtpeals, which is unconcerned for tlir kingdom ofCod. wlii<-h is not in sympathy with earnest spiritual life. It is a <'oii ditioii which consists with attendance on religious ordinances, with the most - prehen.sion of the Christian calling, which should be found in a healthy, religious condition. The strong testimony to this efl'eet is an evidence that the Presbyteries are anxious that there should he an awakening of the Church from this comatose state. And no doubt mea.Hures will be taken in all of them to inipiirc into the cause of it, and to endeavor to have taken (mt of the way this di.seouraging himl- rance to the work of the (Jospel. While saying this it should be borne in mind thai there is a great living body of devoted members who have no part nor lot in tliis indictment. EDUCATION, It is evident from the answers to the questions on this subject, that no direct effort has been made, or is being made by the Church to exert a religious influeiu e upon the public schools. The one exception to this state of things is found in tli' Province of Quebec. The report of the Montreal Presbytery, which may be taken as representative, says in regard to this (|uestion : " The following statement amy S«7 1m' tiikni ii.H an rxaniplr of all tlu' r;*s.

THE TOOK AND IJNKMPLOYKD. The question on this sultject has more ])articular reference to larjje centres of l)oi»ulatioii. In these the prohlem of the ]»oor and »-;' those who, Ihroufih no fault of their own, are out of employment, is more keenly fell. The reports iiidi- eate that the relation of the Church to these classes of the jieople, has not he«'n he- fore the minds of the Sessions as a siihject which they sluaild concern tlu-mselves with. From a numher of districts the reply comes, that there are no poor within the hounds of the congrejratioiis who reipiire assistance. ]Jut the majority of the rejiorts have nothing special to contrihute ui»on the subject. IJoth pastors and people give all the aid in their power in .^ueh eases as come under their notice. They ai.so seek out those who are in need of help and sympathy, and minister to them. The report from Montreal says. •' It is evident that the work oftlu' Church in the city is most satisfactory with reganl to this matter." I'ossihly the .same may he .said in regard to other cities also. Yet between these classes and the Church the gulf appears to be widening. Systematic effort on their behalf is very much left to other agencies whieh recognize their claim on Christian benevolence. Our Lord carried on His work very largely among the ])o«)r.

The influenc'' which the press, reading of the people, the amusements of the people have upon their religious life. THK I'KKSS. 1. On these questions the reports, with few exceptions, are not as full and dear as might be desired. Certain positions, however, are clearly taken. The great influence which the Press exerts upo!i the moral life of the community is recognized. That portion of it which is read in the homes of the people, other tlnui directly re- ligious publications, is regarded as maintaining a high moral tone, and being dis- tinctly friendly to' religion. Some publications are mentioned of which this could not be said so strongly. It is objected that the minute delineation of crimes and the details given of the lives of criminals is decidedly unhealthy in its effect upon the moral life of the community. This is undoubtedly true. The regrettal)le fact is. tliat the newsjjapers should have so many readers who relish these rainutia of initpiity. They are certainly distasteful to a hirge number of their mo.st intelligent patrons. It is possible that the Press is mistaken in its estimate of the number of those who enjoy those objectionable features. 2. It is objected that the constant detraction of public men, the continual as- cription of base motives to those who serve the people in positions of authority, is injurious to the moral character of the c(mimunity. The Press which indulges in tiiis course is jus» y regarded as not being used to educate the people in political ([uestions. so important at this stage in our country's life. Such a use of it tends rather to blind and pervert the judgment, and deaden the conscience of the i)eople. The assaults which are made on the character of public men. dare not be made excejjt from behind the shield of the writer's anonymity. This stream of accusation, which has no basis in fact, is one of the causes w'lnch tend to produce that political corrui)tion among the peoi)le in recent times which has been luifortunately conspicuous. Notwithstanding these features which are objected to. it is recognized that throughout the whole country, our people are highly favored in having so hirge an amount of good and useful read- ing provided for them by tlie newspapers, and at so cheap a rate. Compared with former times their advantages in tliis respect are great. While earnestly desiring that XhU powerful agent of civilization were even more largely inspired by the Chris- tian spirit, the Church cannot but recognize with thankfulness, her great indebicd- )x< "> ^o the Press for its continual unpurchased service, which is of the highest value )a .ho prosecution of her work, and is an evidence of the good spirit by which i* is a ".TV,,.;! .d 6. Special mention is made in some of the reimrts, and high commendation 7 \, !! *o the religious publications of our own Church. These, however, it is re- ^'i- i.et. , aie n»»t found in so many of the homes of the people as they should be. Iheir influence is recognized to be in the highest degree beneficial wherever they are read. Your Committee is of opinion that this subject of the reading of the people is worthy of much greater attention from the Presbyteries and Sessions than it receives. It is widely indicated in the reports, that it is very desirable that a larger amount of religious reading of a healthy kiiul should be found in the homes of the people. For a considerable time there has been a growing devotion to literature of a light and superHcial nature among all classes. It is cheering to note that there are slight indications of a reaction from this unhealthy tendency appearing from time to time. Books, which are interesting as well as instructive, should be earnestly sough': after, and put into the hands of the young l)i'0])le. Several reports recommended that libraiies should be i)rovided for the use of the congregation, as well as the Sabbath School. Also, that in outlying dis- tricts colporteurs should be emjtloyed to carry to the households a supply of cheap 269 and attractive evauf?('li<'al litcratiiri'. In n>any sections of the coiintiy. not only iu remote parts, hut in more ])ojt\ih)iis districts as well, such an aj?eney wonld he a valu- :il)le supph-ment to the hil)ors oftiie Ciiurch. Tlie services of the KeIij>ions Tract and Book Society mifj;ht he witii ••real henelit. much more hirjjely made use of than it is, for supidyiu}; the peoide with wljolesome readinj^. AMUSKMKNTS. Tn refjard to the influence which the amusements of tiie jK'o])h' have upon tlieir relifiious life, tiu're is not much said in tlie re}iorts. It is recojiui/t d that amusements and recreation have their le}>itimate place in life, and contrilnite much wiien i>roj»erly ointed makers of moral laws, who are disposed to tie up everyone within their own con- ceptions of Christian liherty. Nor has siie foi- those who. on their own authority, wtmld set loose the conscience and the life Irom restraints which divine authority has i)laced ui»on them. There is a tendency in sonie ecclesiastical circles to nudtiply sins, which is the work of a ])harisaical spirit and injurious to the conscience. There is also a tendency outsidt' of these circles to enlarge the hounds of conduct into ways that are sinful. They who walk in these ways seek siielter from an accusing conscience, in the fact that so nmny Christian peo])le si-e no harm in them. These tendencies show the need of directing the energies of the Clnnrh against sin in tlie heart, rather than spending them upon s(nne one or two forms of conduct which lie outside of our measure, it may he, hut ujton which the stani]) (;f divine c(.ii- (icmnation has not heen placed. Complaint is made in a few reports, of excessive de- votion to dancing and card i)laying. and in other reports tif a like spirit towards out- door sports. But these references are much too vague to iiermit of any pronouncc- iiicnt. What is harmless amusement and refreslnnent to one. is weariness and wickedness to another. If anyone has not principle enough and grace enough to guide himself in his amusements, as well as in his more serious duties, then he has not enough to enahle him to lead a Christian life. He needs to have grace n»ini.stered to liim. There are two points on which the reports agree. 1st. That recreation should he contiiUMl to legitimate times. 2nd. That they ought not to he carried to excess hut kept within reasonable bounds. It is felt that there is a tendency at present U de- vote altogether too much time to amusements on the part of many young peo]»le. This excessive pursuit of pleasure is highly injurious to character and very fatal to tiie religious life. Possibly this too great enthusiasm in this direction at the pre- sent day is the inevitable reaction from the hardness of a former period that was too much absorbed in opi>ressive and monotonous toil. Time given to rational amusement is not wasted time. It is a needed relaxation and jtrotest against the sordid sjiirit which makes life dreary with unending labor. While deprecating the time wasted in games, it should be borne in mind, that while some may ha\c too much recreation, many, even of our young peojile. have too little. If the adult population would recreate more, and join to a larger extent in the amusements of tlie younger people, both in the family circle and in the ojieii air. much would be done to keep amusements within jirojier bimnds. and so ]n'omote the jihysical and moral well being of society. Your Committee has laid some emphasis upon this point, though it is loosi iy treated in most of the reports, because although it may seem of sulxn'dinate imjiortance, it is one upon wliich much that is misleading is lu'ing taught and one, the right understanding of which, is very hel]iful to those who are trying to lead a Christian life. It is well therefore that the Church should give some attention to it. rf ! f 270 SUMMARY OF SYNODICAL REPORTS. It is not necessary to quote at length from these reports, excellent as they arc Their interpretation of the situation is in agreement with that of the Presbyteries. Tht\v were received at too late a period to be made use of in preparing the report of your Committee, yet the conclusions arrived at in them are very mu* in h:u- mony with those set forth in it. SYNOD OF MONTREAL AND OTTAWA. " In summing up, your Committee find much in the reports they have studied, for gratitude to (rod and hoi)efulnesH for the future, in the deep interest taken liy many i)arents in the moral and religious training of their children ; and in the zeal and edorts of Sabbath Schools and young i)eople's societies, to promote the higiioi interests of our youth ; seen also in the well-sustained interest of our peo])k' at large in the .services of the sanctuary, and their faithful observance of the Lords supper ; in their reverence for God's holy day, and in their indignation at its wan- ton desecration ; at the i)rogress being made in temi»erance and other reforms ; and in the testimony borne to the general excellence of the Canadian press, both secular and religious. On the other hand: " Your Committee find ground for concern in the neglect of family worship in many homes, due largely to social and economical conditions ; and ground for aiaiiii in the increasing perils that beset the Holy Sabbath, as well from within as witli- out ; and in the extravagant lengths to which amusements are carried by many, and engrossment in mere worldly affairs." SYNOD OF TORONTO AND KINGSTON. The report from this synod does not present any new features. It is sununar- ized as follows by the Convener : — "In conclusion, an attempt has been made to faithfully present the salient features of the reports which have come into the hands of your Convener. Tliere is much that is encouraging in these reports. Our Church is a mighty power in tiie land, and is making her influence felt in the home, in society, and even in tlie government of our country. It is of the utmost importance that we who have been placed as watchmen on the walls of our Zion, should be on the alert and be (luiek to notice and warn the ])eople against those things which would undermine and destroy the spiritual life, and on the other hand be (juick to notice and encourage every movement which we believe will be helpful to that life. And above all let iis faithfully hold forth the Word of life, which maketh wise unto salvation." SYNOD OF HAMILTON AND LONDON. The following condensed statement of the contents of the report is taken from it. The report was ordei'ed by the Synod to be printed and to be sent out with tiie minutes. The Convener places at the head of his report the text: I Tim. vi., 10 — " The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." The longer your Committei^ l)ondered the replies sent in and the fact; thus brought to light the more convinced were they that our text for to-day, "The love of money is a root of all kinds ol evil," indicates the points of weakness and of special danger, but also points liie direction of great possibility for Church life and work in our Synod. 271 1. (Condensed.) " Sumnuu'i/iiif^ the rejdies it would seein that as regards (1) The Home Religious Life. While the majority refuse to admit deeline, family worship is at the best irregular aud by uo means universal, and the teaehiug of the ehildreii is t(»o much delegated to Sunday School and strangers. (2) The C'ongregation, Sabbath and eomnuinion services are well attended, but jirayer meetings are \ery slimly attended ; workers can be i-eadily secured ; giving for the Schemes is not yet up to the mark ; Presbyterians take high rank for integ- rity in business, aud good behaviour in social relationship. (8) The Sabbath. Well kept, but with a tendency decidedly strong agailist its reverent observance, owing to the bicycle, the love of pleasure and the hope of gain. (4) Social Questions. AV^e rejoice in a clean, high-toned press, in the main on the side of morality and religion, but with a tendency, for money's sake, to tlie sensational and culi>ably prying. The amusements of the people we li-ave strictly alone, trusting to the educated ctmscience of our i)eople, as we ought to guide them as to the influence for good or evil which their examitle will exert, and the inoney is more than love of souls, sense of honesty, comfort of homes or rights of help'iess wives aud children, we must arm ourselves for a continued, long hard, fight tiiJ this giant evil is worsted and cast out." ,;■ ■I ''I .t I » ■»?,-. 272 HYNOD OF BKITI8H COIAIMBIA. *i ■■*: t ti-'i :i i The report from this Synod covers the whole ground referred to in the quest- ions submitted very fully. '' The Sessions and missionaries liave endeavored to give a true statement of the religious life of the eongregation*. Much active and aggressive congregational life has been manifest. It is a cause for thankfulness to (Jod that notwithstanding the sin and inie. But not- withstanding these admitted shortcomings, thi* Church is anxiously directing her attention to these spheres of her operations. And her abundant labor under the divine blessing will be felt in her homes and congregations, in her Sabbaths and in her social life. For this past year of earnest and fruitful labor with all its precious results it becomes the Assembly to give tkanks to f rod. The second fact is. tha, while the above statement is true, the Church nnmi- festly longs for a larger volume of si)iritual life, for a deeper earnestness in her membership, and for a more thorough realization by the people of their responsi- bilities. She is conscious of the wide open doors that the Master has set before her. m 278 Sill' lougs to enter in at tliein. She loiiys for freedom frojn her captivities. Her ml i listers are anxious to do more aiu^ see more to l)e done than tliey are gettinj; done. Fi )in every quarter coraes the aeknowledgment that present attainments are not gu licieut, tliat there is need and room for liigher endeavor and higher aeconiplish- iji lit. There is a confe.ssed defect in her life and worlv. It is felt, notwithstand- iii ^ her activities, that the claims of Christ lie too lightly on the hearts and con- h fuces of the people. The reality and sincerity of tiiis confession of shortcoming ought to he seen, aii'l will no doubt he seen in the effort that will he made in the coming year through alltlie Presbyteries, to dissipate this indifference and awaken the people to a deeper interest in divine things. Whatever may be the explanation of this sj)iritual apathy of which complaint is made in all tlie reports, and which is at all times a cause of complaint in the Church to the earnest-minded people o'"(iod, there are certain lines of action indicated as necessary, in order that the life and work of the Church may be revived and successfully (larried forward There is needed in the first place very evidently greater thoroughness in every department of the wtu'k. There is a tendency to superficialism from wiiich the Church, as well as otiier spheres of labor, sulfers. There has been also both witiiin aiui without her liorders a certain amount of immature teaching. Sometimes also a sujierticial evangelism has altimuded, which, making a momentary impression, ultimately causes divine things to lie regarded with less of revereiu-e. There has been likewise prevailing a spirit ofiiupatience, a desire to bring about results in our own appointed times, an im- patience with the tried methods that have been blessed in the past for the evangel- izing ofthe world. A craving also for novelties and sensationalisms has diverted attention from the real spiritual agencies which are blessed of Cod. These with other cau.s'es combined, have induced the state of mind (tomplained of. The re- covery ofthe Church is very much in her own hands. The divine promises of re- vival will be realized when the (Jhurch does her work faithfully, when all false coiilidences are renounced, and the Church no longer •' says to the work of her h;iiids. ye are our gods." This revival of thoroughness must begin with the pas- tors. Indeed from the reports it appears alivady to have begun. Tt must begin in the .study. It should be visible in the puljiit and the administration of congre- gational affairs. A little well done is more effective than much badly done. Hut it must extend also to the pew. The elders and managers can do much to help it for- ward. It is too much forgotten that the work of the managers is spiritual work. It should be done as i)rayerfully as all other Church work. The members ofthe Church mu.st be more diligent in relij^Jous duty. Then, and only then, may we call upon (rod with the e.vpectati()U of blessing. It is easy to deplore in orthodox terms the absence of the Divine Spirit, and to express a pious wish for His life- giving presence. But the Divine Spirit has taught us that He does not come to make up for our idleness and neglect. He will not come to idle jtastors or to an idle people. Let us, then, not merely express our pious wishes. It is the kind of IK'ople and the character of the Chiu'ch which si)eaks, that determiiies the answer she receives, and not the i)rayers that are offered. There is further to be desired a larger measure of enthusiasm ln)th in the ministry and in the membership on behalf of all the o])erations of the Church. Such a spirit woidd lift us out of our localisms and hobbyism, and make all parts ofthe Church, and all her enterprises and schemes, equally the object of our care and sympathy. There is needed further an increase in our faith in Cod. It is His work we are engaged in. He will supply the means for accomyilishing it. He will honor a large faith. It will be unto us. as it ever is. according to our faith. He will send the means for generous undertakings. Let us cast ourselves wholly on Him and attempt and expect greater things. Thoroughness, enthusiasm, faith, these :*re a trinity of great power. And when with these the tide of divine grace and l)]essiiig flows in upon the Church, she will be lifted out of her worldliness and un- belief into a spirit more worthy of her high calling, and will go forward with new power on her mi.ssion of divine beneficence, throughout all the regions of this wide Dmninion, and to the uttermost parts ofthe earth. '.!• ii^ .liL ) 274 RECOMMENDATIONS. Tlu' OciuTiil Assembly recognizes, with profomid thankfuliu'Ks to God. tir ahundiint blessing wbieh litis been enjoyed throughout the Church at home mid abroad in all her operations, and RECOMMENDS 1. That I'resbyteries and Sessions continue their efforts to maintain religidiis worshij) and instruction in the families of the Church, and afford all possible jiiiid- ance and encouragement to the heads of lumseholds, in the i)erformance of this diitv, 2. That Presbyteries and Sessions make use of such means as they deem \\i>c, to revive the religious life of congregations and especially take steps to secure a deeper interest on their part, in all the enterprises of the Church and in all tlic schemes ; that they consider the best methods of securing for these the finamial support of all the people, and put these methods in operation. ;i. That the observance of the Lord's Day be made the subject of instruct ion from the pulpit as occasion requires and that continuous and determined effort lie put forth to preserve it in its entirety from the encroachments that are being niii(k' upon it. 4. That Presbyteries take such measures as they deem effective, for the removal of the chief hindrances of the work of the Gospel, of which complaint is made liy them ; especially that they warn the people against the blinding love of money. which is "a root of all kinds of evils ;" and against that worship of Mammon wliieli displaces the Worship of God, which would rob the Church of her Sabbaths, whicli cripples all her schemes, which is the source of every demoralizing traffic, and ol' every form of oppression from which the people suffer. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. D. McLEOD, Convener. 275 iir REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH SCHOOLS, 1898-99. T.— STATISTICS. Rev. J. W, Rae, Vice-Convener. The statistical section of your Com nittee's report does not vary much from year to year. Reports have been received from 2,.'i24 schools, bein;;; 180 more than in 1897, which recorded an increase of 227 more than in 1896. Synod and Presbytery conveners have reported very promptly, thus lessening very much the work of your Committee, and in more cases than is usual, recommendations are appended. The annexed tabulated statement has been prepared with much care, and, it is believed, is as accurate as in a large territory consisting of city, town and country schools including mission stations in sparsely settled districts can well be expected to be. 1. — ATTENDANCE. 18,991 teachers and ofticers. a gain of 172, have charge of 100,150 scholars, an increase of 5,851 ; of these 107,775 are present every Sabbath, or nearly 06 per cent. 2. — RECITATIONS. 51,413 scholars are memorizing verses of Scripture, and slightly over 61,000 are studying the Shorter Catechism, 2,737 have committed the whole book to memory, and in this very desirable work the Synod of the Maritime Provinces has a decided lead. The number studying their lessons at home is 60,959, or 210 fewer than last year. The whole number of teachers' meetings for lesson study is still far too small, there being but 272 in the whole Church. 3. — CHURCH RELATIONS. 2,706 elders are engaged in Sabbath School work, 65,704 pupils attend public wor- ship in the sanctuarv each Sabbath, 3,847 became communicants in 1898, which 20,106 scholars all told are in full communion with the church. 4. — CONTRIBUTIONS. $84,983 was raised by the Sabbath Schools, of which $58,537 was expended on the schools themselves. The amount contributed by the congregations to the support of the Sabbath Schools, $13,758, being $1,802 more than last year. The amount contributed to the Schemes of the Church was $23,995, a decrease of 540, while the amount contributed to other objects decreased from $9,821 to 9,800. If the amounts raised in Sabbath Schools be added to that given by congregations to their support, their total revenue becomes $98,741, while the expenditure on themselves, to the Schemes of the Church and for benevolent objects, is but $92,238, leaving $6,403 to be accounted for, and which must either be in the hands of the Treasurers unappor- tioned, cr else the figures reveal the fact that the accounts have not been accurately kept in all the schools. II.— HIGHER RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION. In response to the resolution of the Assembly of last year demanding that the depart- ment of H.R.I, be made self-sustaining, the Committee dropped the work in the Essay and Historical departments and took steps to lessen the cost in this department remain- ing. The precipitate action thus forced on the Committee has had the effect of, to some degree, lessening the interest in the Scheme, as is shown in a slightly diminished number of candidates entering for the examinations. It is, however, gratifying that in the face of all discouragements there were 358 entries for parts of the work, of whom 140 honorably passed. Of these, forty-one are prize winners and five are medallists. The } f I ■ .• ■ ■ . ; . ■ 1 ■ ■ ■ i i 276 department uf CateuhiHin recitation allows an increaned no|>ularity, as during the veiir there have been issiied for repeating correctly answerH to all the iiueKtions in the Short r CntochiRiii at one recitation, 4(>J Jiplumai* hh compared with 350 for the past year. Taking a retroHp !Otive survey of the post we find that since 1890, when the tint report from the H.R.I department was presented to the Assembly, a toUlof 4,419 entr ts have been made for examination, of these 2,703 have been successful in passing;, >uu] f these again 734 were honored as prize winners and 175 as holders of medals. While siiu- 1893, when diplomas were first gnen for repeating the answers to all the (juestions in ilu Shorter Catechism at one recitation, 2,169 such diplomas have been issued. That the Scheme is not perfect its most enthusiastic supporters adnut, but it is :it least an honest attempt to encourage our young people to a more thorough and systpuiatir study of God's word. That some modification of the Scheme is desirable, your Commiti. i is fully aware, but what these modifications should be depends so much on the suppcui that the Assembly is willing to give it that your Committee hesitate to make definite recommendations. One thing, however, is certain, that if the Assembly's resolution if last year that " the S.S. Couunittee be recommended to make the department of H.K. I. self-sustaining or abolish it " is intended to mean that the Committee is no longer to ho1J( it aid from the Church through Children's Day Collections or otherwise, but is to make tlin Scheme depend for its support on fees imposed on Schools participating in its benofitM, then by that nction the Committee can only understand that the Assembly intends to take the responsibility of saying that the Scheme shall be abolished. Your Committee hesi- tate to believe that this was the intention of the Assembly. Syllabus kor 1899. With regard to the work of the present year, your Committee recommend that in the Biblical Department in all the grades the work be the International S.S. lessons for ]H99; that the work in the Doctrinal Department be Dr. Salmond on the Shorter Catechism Questions, 39-81 ; that the work in the Teacher's Training Course be " A Primer in Christian Evidence, " by R. A. Redford, Professor of Systematic Theology ;iih1 Apologetics, New Ctjllege, London, and that the Historical and Essay Departments in the meantime be discontinued. It is also recommended that the Assembly continue to give a diploma to those duly certified as having repeated all the answers to the (luestions in the Shorter Catechism ;ir one recitation. The names of those thus certified are recjuired to be sent in to Rev, VV, Farquharson, Claude. Ont., before April 1st, 1900. Appended to this report will be found copies of the papers set at the annual exam- ination, as well as a list of the successful c indidates. III.— PUBLICATIONS. The contract for the publishing of the Assembly's series of class and school registers having expired, the Committee are preparing a carefully revised and simplified form which they hope to have ready in time for the orders for schools next year. There are still a number of copies in stock of the " Sabbath School Manual." This useful handbook should be in the hands of all our teachers. IV.— FINANCE. Your Committee have much pleasure in announcing that the floating liability incurred in establishing the "Home Study Lesson Helps" has been paid, and the gen- tlemen who so kindly assisted in carrying it for the past two years are released from all obligations in connection with it. The net deficit has been reduced from §2,686.88 to the almost nominal sum of $21.96. The contributions from Sabbath Schools and indivi- duals amount to $4,194.37, which is $547.07 more than last year. A careful analysis of the returns shews that 1,120 schools have responded to our appeals, which is 260 more than last year, and nearly one-half of the total number of schools in the Church . Of these 520 are new contributors, and nearly all of the 260 which did not repeat their last year's donations used the Children's Day Programmes and are in hearty sympathy with the Committee's efforts. The largest contribution came from Bloor Street S.S., Toronto, and amounted to $115.49, of which $100 was a special donation for Higher Religious Instruction. The two next largest amounts were from St. James' Square, Toronto ($54.05), and Central Church S.S., Hamilton ($45.00). Full financial state- ments will be found in Appendix I. 277 NotwithBtanding tho explanations ({iven to last Assembly by the Convener in regard to the course pursued by him in connection with the payment of the tloatin^ liability of |,S'.I7, it came to his knowledge that he was still charged by certain parties with " not koeping faith " with the guarantors, Drs. Robertson, Fletcher and Thompson, and "not dning as he was ordered by the Assembly," He therefore recjuested your Committee to investigate the matter and either censure or approve as it saw iit. A Sub-Committee was iippointed, consisting of Messrs. A. S. Macgregor and Cieo. Rutherford with Revs. Dr. M. Fraser, Dr. Abraham, .1. Young and R. W. Ross, to whom the Convenor submitted his books, and who reported as follows : — " Your Committee beg to report that they met in Knox Church Session Room in Hamilton on April 5th. and your convener submitted his books for examination. " They find that the amount of the S.S. Committee's liability in June, 18*.>7, was reported to the Assembly as $5,528.15, but before the guarantee note was given by Drs. Robertson, Thompson and Fletcher, the amount had been reduced to84,2()5>.73 from the proceeds of the ' Children's Day ' colIecti(ms. This was the amount for which these gentlemen became responsible in November, 1H97, and *' e amount was reduced by jiiiyments each three months as the renewals matured till in January, 1899, it was fully IKiid off. "They find that duringthe interval between the meeting of Assembly in June,lH<.)7, at Winnipeg, and that in June, 1898, in Montreal, the Committee's liability has been reduced by the sum of $2,48;i.()l. " They find that your Convener paid on the liability as the note matured (»ilii tlf lu't proceeds of ' Children's Day ' collections (having no other fund to meet the neces- sary expenses thereof), but they consider he was justified in drnng this, though not i-.ipresdij so instructed by the Assembly. The Assembly at Montreal apparently held this view in forming their resolution anent this matter. "They also find that your Convener paid on the liability not only the net receipt» from ' Children's Day,' as directed, but also receipts of every kind from Sunday Schools, and private individuals, except the payments for Lesson Helps." This report was unanimously adopted by the Committee, and it is hoped that this statement of fa3cs will satisfy the Assembly and all parties interested that the Com- mittee and its convener have done their utmost to discharge the obligations resting upon them and have acted in the fullest " good faith " throughout. Your Committee has submitted the Children's Catechism, published l)y Rev. Geo. S. Carson to a very careful examination and will be prepared to lay a recommendation before the A ssembly regarding it. All of which is respectfully submitted. T. F. FOTHERINGHAM, Convener. ADDENDUM. 1. That whereas the General Assembly of 1897 deprived the Sabbath School Coni- inittee of the control of the Sabbath School publications which had been inaugurated by them, and, whereas, the Assembly of 1898 intensified that position by appointing a Special Committee to elect and appoint an editor and manager and to take the super- vision of the work of publication, which was thereafter accordingly carried out : Eeaolved, that this Committee emphatically protest against the further continuance of this extraordinary and unparelleled position, and therefore respectfully recommend the General Assembly to restore to them the control of the Sabbath School publications so that their responsibilities over this important branch of the Church's work be no longer impaired. 2. The Sabbath School Committee have heard with deep regret the proposed resignation of Rev. T. F. Fotheringham, Convener of the Committee, and they desire to place on record their highest appreciation of the boundless labors, self-sacrifice, ability and devotion of purpose manifested by him. They call to mind the fact that through his heroic efibrts a broad national Canadian and Presbyterian system of Sabbath School helps was inaugurated and placed upon a lasting basis. They feel that the future work of our Church among the young will permanently reflect the foundation laid by our Convener along distinctly Presbyterian and national lines. They would recommend that the Assembly do in some substantial way recognize the faithful services rendered by him. 3. That the contribution of Children's Day be devoted to the prosecution of tne work of the Sabbath School Committee and the furthering of the general interests o£ our Sabbath Schools. f ■U ■: ' i I U 278 APPENDIX I. 8t.

Attention is called Hrst to : DECKKASKH. As will be observed from the Statistical Talde aiipentled, there has been a decrease in the totals in every item except four. In the total number of nuMnbers the falling ofT is serious, viz., 2,!>')4 from a total of 30,721, whilst the number of Hoeieties rei»orting is only 17 less than the preceding year. The decrease in contributions is not so marked, being indeed, only $(54.00, on a total last year of *12,8()l.OO for the Schemes of the Church, and $407.00 on a total for all purposes of $2!),2!»S.00. The decrea.ses have been owing, in a number of cases, to the disbanding of societies ; more generally, however, to a falling away in the mend)ership and interest. It is particularly discouraging to observe that there has been even a larger proportionate decrease in the number of young men ana Doys than of young women and girls. It is clear from the report that besides the loss in numbers and contributions there has been in many places a disheartening decline of interest on the part of the young people in organizations which were lately full of promise. This is the dark side of the i)icture. ENCOURAGEMENTS. The decreases, whilst general, have not been universal. In some of the Synods indeed, there have been giatifying increases, as will be seen from the following table, (The decreases are marked with a minus sign.) I INCREASES AND DECREASES. Synods.

It must be patent to all that the working foree of the Church has i)een largely increased (hiring the past few years tlirough the various young iteoi)le's organ- izations. A considerable !Uind)er of theii' members, of couise, had alrcaily been enlisted in other foims of etlbrt, such as the Habbath school, etc., but very nnuiy new I'ccruits Imve been brought into active co-operation in the work of the Church and tiie Divine ^Master tlirough young ])eop]e"s societies. '•'he testimonies from the various Presbyteries as to the sjjirit and work of the young jjcople are most gratifying. A few are taken almost at random. They fairly i-epresent the whole : Presbyicrii of Sydney — ''There is one sweet, tender touch in tin- junior reports, where we are told that tlie children visit sick children. <'arrying Howers and delicacies. They are also engaged in jireiiaring 3Iission boxes. Fain would we liear of more of such l)eautiful, almost angelic ministries."' Presbytery of luvernens — The contributions to the Schemes of the Church are far ahead of last year. Presbytery of Halifax — "Whilst a few societies have lost their /eal. throughout the P"'"sbytery in general the interest is well sustained. There is nothing yet in sight thi;^ I > take tlie place of the Y.P.8.C.E., with its strict and solemn jjledge pliable organization." and ■ ! I'rtsbyiery of Prince Edward Island — An increase in membershii), and about one- half are in <.ull communion with the Church. Of the total number of members, 816 are young men and 1088 are young women, the number of young men being much above the avvirage. Presbytery of Miramichi — The organization of young people's societies in Mi.-5sion stations has proved very helpful to peoi)le who are deprived of regular sanctuary services. Presbytery of Montreal — The Presbytery's Committee held a conference with all the Presbyterian societies in the city in order, if possible, to arrive at the causes of discouragement. After discussing the subject from every point of view, it was almost unanimously decided that " although Christian Endeavor is not at present gaining numerically, and whilst perhaps, there has been somewhat of a reflex a<*tion, wlii'h is inevitable after the young enthusiasm of a new movement has erent itself, we believe that the Christian Endeavor movement is on a solidei' basis, and is doing as good work as ever before, if not better." Warm and enthusiastic were the words of loyalty expressed towards the movement, especially by the pastors present. Presbytery of Glem/tn-y — " Steady progress aud along the right lines. At flrst the gh iug of the societie was of rather a spasmodic character and devoted largely to objects good in themselves, but outside of our own Church work. The reports of the past two years particularly indicate a change iu these respects. They show that ili giving has become more systematic aud that the young people are realizing the relation in which they ought to stand to their own Church's work and see the wisdom of sending their contributions to Missions through the regular channels of their own Church." Presbytery of Ottawa — The young people have given away more than six- sevenths of their entire contributions. 297 Prff^hytiTif of Lanark and Renfrew — In the very front rank as tt> the giviugs to Home Missions. The Presbytery has fostered its societies carefully. One thousand nine liundred and ninety dolhirs has been contributed for home, foreign and evangelization work, an increase of #309 over last year. Froxhiitcrii of Kingston — " It is pleasing to observe that the growth this year is largely •hie to the ingathering of young men.'' I'rt'siibjifery of Peterborough — (rratifying incM-ease both as to membership and contributions. Nearly all the societies have adopted the General Assend)ly's Plan of Study. Prexhiiterg of Toronto — The Presbyterial Young People's Union has done much in the way of fostering the societies. The three district conventions at as many separate points outside the city have been enthusiastic gatherings. 1 r Preslfj/terif of Orangerille — '• One minister reports that when he (irst took charge of the Held there was no Endeavor society, no prayer meeting, hardly any one could be induced to take part in prayer, and the whole burden rested on the pastor. Xow it is ditt'erent. The young ])eople are cntiiusiastic and are willing to take ])art in prayer or whatever they are called uixni to do in order to make the meeting a success. . If this can be done in one society, why not in more? " PreftlH/terji of Barrie — Decrease in membership, increase in tlie total contri- butions for the Schemes of !?!108, and for all i)urposes of $121). Three hundred dollars have been raised for Home Missions. '^1 Prc^hjiteri/ of Hamilton — The report offers falling off in membership and in givings. an explanation for the marked Prfi^tijlteri/ of Sarnia — Six new societies. Some societies disbanded ; l)ut, " tlie disbanding of a society is not a proof of mistaken policy in organizing it, but that the energies of the young people are finding some other channel." Presbjiteri/ of Winnipeg — The work amongst the young people seems to have gone steadily, if ((uietly, forward during the past year. "The givings show a very gratifying increase, as they amount to i^cSTl for all jmrjutses, as against S304, the preceding vear. The total givings for the Schemes of the t'hurch have increased from $144 to $290.'' Prr.-roval of young peoi)le"s societies foi- spiritual culture and i)ractical work, and would heartily encourage the formation of one in every congregation and Mission station within tlie bounds, either on the exact lint's of the V.P.S.C'.E. constitution or with such changes or omissions as Sessions may deem for edification." Pre'^bgteni of Westminster — '-The outside work is a special fea* ire of the societi('<, and one to be warndy connnended. Xo less than six of tin- Kndeavor societies are engaged in tlie Chinese an;(Mit of the Cluircli. iR'iveiituge (u» contributions 250 00 Miscellaneous 04 $258 5!; FJxpcndifKve.

The Convener of your Committee, Hading that his other duties occupy him fully, is constrained to ask the Assembly to be relieved of the Convenershij), which, through theii" kindness, he has held for the past four years. Tn making this request he would bear testimony to the cordial aiul etfcctive co-operation of Conveners of Synod and Presbytery Committees, of the otiicers of Presbyterial Societies and of many throughout the Church both of the older and younger people who have not been officially connected with this work, but have assisted by counsel and encour- agement. The young ])eople may rest assui'cd that there is deep and genuine symjiathy with them and wicb the work of their organizations. The Church feels, and very properly, that her future prosperity depends very largely on enthusiasm for the Lord's work on the part of her young people, and the practical forms which that enthusiasm may take. m 801 KECOMMENDATIONH. The Committoe rt'sinH'tlully otter the foUowiiifi; recoiumeiuhitioiis lor adoiitiuii by the Geueral Assembly, 1. The General Assembly would express its hearty sympathy with the young l)eople in their efforts to advance their own s])iritiial life, to win theii' companions to the service of the Heavenly Lord and blaster and fienerally to forward tiie work of Christ and His Church. The Assembly recognizes the important results which have already accrued from the young jteople's organizations, and looks forward hopefidly to still greater fruits in the years to come. 2. The General Assembly would rei)eat the commendation given l)y i)re\ ious Assemblies to the Plan of Study in its general features, and, in view of the demand from several (fuarters for a more systematic study of the Scriptures in the young jieople's meetings, would suggest to the Committee to consider whethei' tills may not be arranged for in the Plan of Study, in addition to the ground alrcatly covered by it. 3. That ministers, Sessions and young peopk^'s societies be again reminded of the urgent need of seeking to bring the young men into the membersiiip of the societies and an active interest in the work of the Church ; and also of ]»roviding for s(mie systematic instruction of the children in the great ^Missionary enterprises ; and that the General Assembly's Committee consider and propose to tiie Church such means as may seem fitted to forward these desirable ends. 4. The CJeneral Assembly Avould gratefully acknowledge tiie large amount of useful, jiractical work within the congregations done by the young jieople, and their considerable contributions towards religious and benevolent ol)jects, and would express the hope that in the allotment of their monies, the Schemes of the Church shall be given the first place.

HELPS FOK 189«. ■:r ': In the circulation of the Pri'sl>>iterkm liemrd tliere has been little chnriye from the previous year. The con,'regHtion8 in the older provinces, that are its chief constituency, are in many cases not increasiii'/, while in the new and growing sections, made up in some measure of strangers, there is not yet the interest in the history, traditions, or work (yf our Church, which creates a demand for her literature. The ever increasini,' number of newspapers and magazines, home and foreign, has also its efl'ect in limitini,' the circulation. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the Hi-cord is the medium established by the Church for the express purpose of bringing her work before hor moml)ership. That it may fullil its purpose two things are necessary and are earnestly requested. (1) That missionaries, home and foreign, also conveners and secretaries, (all who have charge of, and are familiar with, the different lines of Church work) should use this medium to let the Church see and know that work, otherwise the Eerord must fail of its purpose, and the work must, in some measure, suffer loss. (2) Whatever other publications may be taken there should be earnest effort on the part of ministers and people to have the lifrord in every home. With the beginning of 1899 a colored cover has been added, increasing the reading matter by four piges, and the annual cost by nearly a thousand dollars ; while the new postal law will m.-ike an additional item of some four hundred dollars to tiie yearly expenditure. From the Record and Children's Record the Committee has voted §4000 to the funds of the Church ; $8000 to the West, divided equally between the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund and that of the Widows' and Orphans'; and $1000 to the East, to the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund. The Widows' and Orphans' Fund, East, being a mutual insurance scheme, is supported by its own membership. Beeeipts. 1898.

In its sphere, more than in that of the Hccor,!, is felt the effect of competition. The influx from the South, of papers for the young, is increasing and persistent, and the demand of our Sab- bath schools for weekly publications, which many of these periodicals supply, interferes in some measure with a monthly such as the Cliildren's Record. For such papers, in so far as they have supplied a need, we should be thankful, but history and story, learned through their medium, are often not fitted to bui'd up the best and most loyal British and Canadian citizenship ; and the more fully the needs of our young people can be supplied at home, the better for our Churc! and Country. 805 » !i i i lifceipt.t. 1898. .Tan. 1 — Balance credited $2,71.'i •i'^ Dec. 31 Receipts 3,(I'J8 87 r),74L' > oo 181>8.

But as sub- scriptions betjan to come in it was found that about three-fourths of them wore 8ul)ati- tutes for the C //(iroi'.s /i*'co/'rf. It was not desirable to build up one paper at the expense of another, and Youth's lifcord was discontinued. The best method of meeting the need would be a graded series of papers, Presby- terian and Canadian, in connection with tho S. S. Helps. These might be made a powerful factor in moulding national and religious sentiment, and if properly conducted and managed should be a financial success. I i, V H. S. LKHSON HKLl'S. These have been issued from the office of the Record during the year, and with some measure of success, the total circulation of the various publications increasing about twenty-five per cent. — from about sixty thousand in 1897 to seventy-five thousand in 1898.

Tiie pains devoted to collecting statistics, and tlie Schedules wliich liavc Ikch employed to tabulate these returns during tlie ])ast twenty-four years, have jiui cnr Church under a debt of profoundest obligation to Kev.

This Committee shall be i'X)iccted. moreover, to make suitable recommendations from time to time, either as I'e.Liards further inji)rovement in the form of thcSchedulex, or as touching any other kiiiihed nmtter to which it may seem wise that the attention of the (ieneral Assembly should be drawn. (). That, since difficulties confront such a reform, the desire of your Com- mittee to make the close of the calendar year (December 81st) and the close of the eeelesiastical year (.March 8l.st, immediately following) synchronize, be not resolutely pressed at the present time. Nevertheless your Committee feel constrained to jxtint (lilt that the financial statements in Form A and Form B can never be made to agree, anil so .serve as nuitual checks and correctives, until this easy and very reasonable cliaiige be authorized and effected. And the .'^ame lack of agreement laesents itself iu enumerations other than financial. It is scarcely congruous that the in- t'linnation which is to be laboriously collected and tabulated should in several eases, as will be observed, represent periods which lie between difierent termini. Hence your Committee recommend that (in view of numerous advantages which would be secured by making the ecclesiastical year terminate in every . istance on December 81st), it be ordered by this Assembly that that change bo inaugurated with the beg lining of the year IJtOO, and that it be ordered meanwhile that • all mones whieh reach the Church Agents (East or West) by February 'iiSth. 1!H)0, ((ccompauied bij mi intimation that they arc to be credited to the year JSU'J. shall be entered among the receipts of that year at the Church Offices."

To the Venerable the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, met in Hamilton, fuite, iSgg : Yuur Committee would begin their report, aud they think it proper that th« facta about to be mentioned should have the prominence of an early statement, by expressing the incon- venience to which they have been put in consequence uf the lateness of the returns received from two Presbyteries, namely iVlinnedosa and Kamloops. From correspondence with the pre- sent Clerk of the former they are led to suppose, although there is no satisfactory authority, that a refiort was forwarded, but it did not reach llie Convener, and it would appear that no papers have been left by his predecessor in othce from which he could compile a second copy. With regard to the latter, no reply was received to any communication that was sent to the Clerk whose name is given in the Rolls of Presbyteries as printed in the Assembly's Record for last year, till the Uth of May, nearly a fortnight after this report should have been in the hands of the printer. The usual blank sheet was mailed to him at the same time they wore mailed to other Clerks, Application was made more than once for its return properly tilled. Other communications were addressed to him. But to none of these hud any reply come, iior had any of them come back from the Dead Letter Office. It was surmised that a ciiange in the Clerkship of the Presbytery had been made, but even, if so, it is strange that instructions wci'e not left by him with his postmaster as to the disposal of any documents that might come to his address. The Committee had resolved to reprint the returns for the preceding year ; although well aware that this would not be satisfactory, because not giv- ing the present state of the congregations in their bounds, nor the opportunity of ascertaining what progress ha.v been made. And not only the congregations aud Presbyteries immediately concerned would be affected, but so would the Church at large ; and the results of the fault or failure referred to would be permanent, being handed down in the printed report of the Assembly. However, the sheets at last came to hand, they appear in their proper place, and the results are embodied in this general report, altliough entailing no small amount of labor for the compiler. In this connection it may be stated tiiat the report from the Presbytery of St. John did not come to hand for much more than a month after the date when it, in common with others, was expected, namely, jin the early part of March. Correspondence with the Clerk elicited the fact that he had mailed it in the beginning of April, so that it evidently had miscarried in the Post-oflBce. But on being informed of this, the Clerk, with praiseworthy promptitude and trouble, prepared aud forwarded another copy, which arrived just in time to be despatched witii those from other Presbyteries to the printer. Another point which may be mentioned, and it is hoped it will receive the attention of the congregations and Presbyteries, is "Delayed Returns." Some such appear every year, and there should be none any year. As the congregational year closes with the 31st Decem- ber, and as the schedules issued show in their introduction or heading, the report of the con- gregation or station is for the year closing with that date, there should be no difficulty in having the return in the hands of the Presbytery Clerk early in February, as requested, nor for the Presbytery Clerk to have his in the hands of the Committee in the beginning of March. But Sessions and Boards of Management, in many instances, delay till after the dale for the Presbytery Clerk to make his report, and if he is not at the trouble, whicii .,here is no reason to call upon him to take, of adding to and altering the entries lie h>.s made, they appear as " Delayed Returns." Instances have occurred in which such returns \\u.'"f- reached the Clerk, and been sent on by him to the Committee, and reached them, before the Presbytery sheet, the explanation, it is presumed, lying in the fact that the one was sent in a sealed envelope and was thus forwarded by the mail with the despatch due to a letter, and the Presbytery document was not so treated. While on this subject your Committee would remind the Assembly that last year rhey called attention to the fact that one of the lar;iest congregations in the City of Montreal had not sent in its report to the Clerk of the Presbytery in time to be engrossed in the sheet he liad to prepare for the Assembly, and the injustice done in more quarters than one by this omission or neglect. This year the same congregation was chargeable with the same thing. •; , <■ . . :'. t J ?i 882 The Comiiiitiee. Iiowevcr, were at the trouble ut oinboilyiii^ the returuu, and niuking all the alterations nectissary. It is retipectfuUy submitted that such a burdeu should not be iinpoaod upon them. All returns should be promptly and faithfully made. A delay of even a few hourb, or, us is known, of even a few minutes, will do injustice to a Presbytery, may lead to think that the Clerk has not been suftioiently urgent in his duties, and must entail a greater or less amount of unnecessary labor upon the compiler of the Report for the Assembly. Oae of the instructions of the Committee to the Presbytery Clerks is that all the columuH in both the Statistical and Financial departments should be correctly filled and added. In not a few instances both these instruccions are violated— columns are not correctly filled nor correctly added. In illustration, it may be mentioned, that in the report from one large Pres- bytery, several entries which should have been made in column (i of Finances were omittad, but the Committee had no ditficulty in filling them in, because made up of the items in columns 2, 4, and 5 ; and the result was that the total contributions for e'riotly congregational put poses in the bounds were less by upwards of twelve 'housand loUa s than they should have been. It is supposed that t' -entries which should "e a* : ed ir ,umn 6 were made in column 7, but your C .nmittee did not interfere wit); ;hnei . \nd i-emark may be added, that while the Committees' additions and oorrections ssi vJ ' •j- . "tui expenditure for congre- gational purposes more than twelve thousand dollars i<<>vvt t!;<>: •' of the Clerk's entries as in the sheet, the expenditure for all purposes was reduc<'d . siore c^» t five thousand dollars — making a discrepancy between the reported and the corrected of u^. 'ds of seventeen thou- sand dollars. It is not without reason that the request is made for bccaracy in entering and in adding. From tbe occurrence of such errors, and there are many of them, although the case referred to is an aggravated and exceptional one, there is ground for thinking that Clerks do not read the instructions printed on each sheet. If they did, and acted upon them, such mistakes would be impossible. Your (/ommittee need not refer to the importance of the Report which it has been their province to prepare and now submit. It may be said to cover the whole field of the Church's operations. It br!"^s up, not in detail, like those concerned with special departments, such as Home Missions and Foreign Missions, but in a very concise and suggestive form, an account of what God has bean doing in the Dominion of Canada, and to some extent elsewhere, by the section of the Church represented in this Assembly in the progressive carrying out of that great purpose of grace which He formed in Christ Jesus before the world began, which is to have its gradual unfolding in the ages of time, and its full development in the endlessness of the approaching eternity. Every agency connected with it should acknowledge His author- ity and grace in His Redeeming character. Every act should be performed with an eye to his glory in Christ. And every one should regard it as a matter of Christian obligation, privilege and honor, to do with all good fidelity and as unte the Lord, whatever service he is called upon to reader, and by which he can make himself useful to any extent in working in the vineyard. As in years past, Your Committee now proceed to present i'ne state of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, as learned from the reports received from all parts of the Dominion, and to compare it with the year immediately preceding, so that its relative standing may be ascer- tained, and those lessons gathered which the figures teach.

For these they would refer to the reports from Presbyteries in which such exist, and they are found on pages 490-49.3, or to the summary so far as they have been dealt with separately from pastoral charges, which will be found in its proper place. A feature to which attention has l)ecn frequently called is the imperfection in tlieoe reports. Of course the same fullness cannot be expected in many of these that can be secured in the case of regular charges. Several of them are only in process of formation and consolidation. Some of tlieni may be in no more than the experimental stage, and the future will have to determine whether they shall be continued or not. No further information is in the possession of your Committee as to the work and eijuip- ment of Colleges than what is oontamed in the Statistical and Financial Reports of the Presbyteries within whose bounds the CoilesreR are located. As in former years, for seme time past a supplementary schedule was issued to Presbytery Clerks for information on some particulars not embraced in the forms that have been so long 'in uso, aiil for greater accuracy on 4ome oth'^r pirticulars which were so included. From the 51 Clerks to which these were sent, and in some instances a second copy had to be despatched before a reply came, 2 have not reported, Winnipeg and Glenboro. From the 49 replying it is learned that there are in them 1,000 pastoral charges; 80 vacancies at the close of the calendar year ; that 93 have made no statistical reports to their Presbyteries, some of these vacancies and some Mission Stations; that there are 1,096 ministers whose names are on Presbytery rolls and 144 that are not, of whom Toronto has 47, and Ottawa 10, Hamilton 7, Truro 6 ; in fact there are only about 11 Presbyteries in which there are none. In the course of the year there were 56 demissions, 7 of these beinc; in the Presbytery of Toronto, 4 in London, and so down ; there were 22 translations from one charge to another in the same bounds, and 28 to charges in other bounds. The deaths were 22, of whom 2 were in each of the Presbyteries ot ^ictou, Montreal, Kingston (appendix to the roll) and Toronto. Students to the number of 60 were licensed m 21 Presbyteries, Montreal having the greatest number, 13 ; Halifax and Kingston coming next, with 9 each ; TUrrie had 6, Toronto 5, and so down to 1 in each of 1.3. Mission Stations reckon up t'O more than .349 ; Ottawa Presbytery reports 14, includine mission charges with ordained missionaries, and Lanark and Renfrew 6, with 3 having ordained missionaries ; Regina has .30, with 8 Indian missions ; Kamloops 29, North Bay 22, Algoma 20, Kingston 17, thus calling our thoughts to the districts in which there is greatest need of missionary operations, and in which they are carried on. A very large proportion of the congregations close their year with the calendar year. Oidy six report distinctly that they do not. In some instances reports of oimtributors to the Schemes of the Church are held over till the earlv months of the year following. In 36 of the Presbyteries there are Statistical Committees, whose province it is to apply 351 till', receive an iiu.ve none ; in li tlie Chrk does the worl< and in 1 tlie Finance Comniittci*. In 37 some time ia spent in considering: the reports sent in, but a judsment cannot he IP sitively formed us to the numher that compare them with those of ihe previuUH year, a most i>ii>tita))le and, it might ho supposed, faithfully performed part of the IVeHhytery's duty ; as I lurgtid with the welfare or the con^regationti and Siution.s in the hounds; hm call'.'d to con- gi'lt ration and mniuiry as totliocauHe ; where are any indications of declension ; ami to grati' tilde and acknowledgment of instances of progress. It is humhly thoutfiit that the Statistical )\ 'pnrt, as it comes in once a vear, in not, at least should not he, a forhiddiii|{ siihject, and it tviil ho found to )>e far from a harren one when properly submitted and examined, insiances (oiild ho adduced of pustors making use of it for the instruction of their people and c)f th^^ h iiefit resulting from doing so. Througli the courtesj* of its Clerk it his been learned that the l're«hytery of (^irniKf has |ii('pared and published a synopsis of its Statistical and Financial. Report for ISOH, giving the II. linos of congregations and their minister ; ot Mission Stations and their supply ; with the ii'imhers of families, communicants, ard in Sabbath School and ISible Class in each ; with con- iriliutions for stipend and congregational purposes, for six of the Schenies (Woman's Foreigit MiHsicnary and Assembly Fund being omitted), and the averages per family for Schemes. Ht.ipend and all purposes, with the totals for the last Such a (ractice must be useful, and it uDiild be advantageous if it were universally adopted, although some changes might be made. Vour Committee liavo had communicatioiis from only 2 of the Foreign F'ields in which tiny have missionaries, Honan in China and Dhur in the Presbytery of Indore. From the former it appears ihat the number of Churches or Stations supplied is .'< ; of Hit tings 'iiKI : of families 7I> ; of single persons I,') and of communicants on the roll 7<>. During the year ending .'Mth November last .'{5 were admitted on their own profession. There wan I removal by death ; (> infants and .'i adults were baptized. There are .'-t Ruling KIders and 'J-"* aitendiiig weekly prnyer meeting. On the mission staff there arc 7 c)rda'ned persons, (> )>liy i- cmns, 4 of whom are men and 2 women, and 2 single women and fi wives, givini; a total of 21. There were 14 native helpers, 7 of whom were unordained preachers and 7 mcitical absisianis. Outstations numbered IS, catechumens I.VJ and S.'i catechumens were added during the year. Ill the year l.S!t.'> there were '• communicants and 21 catechumens ; in IHilK there were 7<> of the former and I.V2 of the latter. In the communication from Dhar, at which Mr. F'. H. Russell is missionary, 2 Station^ are n ported, with sittings for J)4. The number of families is II and of comiiiunicanis 2."». I'liere was 1 addition, and that on profession ; 1 infant was baptized ; HS attended weekly prayer meeting. There were 2(H) in Sabbath School and Bible Class, and 12 engaged ainonir those. There is a Christian Endeavor Society with 2!) in membership. A Church site was bought during the year, Mr. Russell adds that strictly speaking there is no congregation yet, so that the siatii'tics given are those of the Christitin community simply, of which he is overseer. In concluding, your Committee would remark that it is monotonous and wearisome to be repeating the same complaint from year to year of the dilatoriness of IVesliyteries in sending in their reports, of so many delayed returns and of the want of care and accuracy in the great majority of the reports. If past injunctions of the Supreme Court have had some, it has been only partial, success. Earnestly is it pressed on Presbytery Clerks to read the instructions [irinted on the covers of each sheet before beginning their tabulation of returns and to act upon them when carrying on the work. At a meeting of your Committee to agree upon this report, there was presented and briefly examined a copy of the new Statistical Forms which will be submitted to this Assembly It might appecr gratuitous on their part to pronounce any judgment upon them, but they were unanimously of opinion that, if adopted, their use should be held in abeyance till the fir-f the world and of the Church. Already there is the heralding of great movements todnte from it. The inauguration of a change in collecting statistical information might appiopri- Ately be de'ayed till its arrival. It will measure haif a decade from the last decade com- parison and be the commencement of a fresh decennial period. Your Committee cannot conclude without expressing their own gratitude to (iod for ITis kindness to them, and for the working of His hand so clearly seen in the history of His Kingdom of grace coming within the circuit of their observation, and asking the Assembly liy Holemn prayer and thanksgiving to give to Him the glory duo to His name as the Head of i he Church, the Governor among the nations and the disposer of all events from His throne iti Heaven.

(WESTERN SECTION). To the Venerable the Genend Asaemhiy: — It is with feelings of devout gratitude to God that your Committee are enabled to report that the receipts for the Western Section, upon behalf of the schemes for the past year, were the largest in the history of the Church. The following are the amounts ; — Knox College, Endowment, Ordinary, Scholarship, etc $9,275 49 Queen's College 2,192 37 Montreal College, Endowment, Ordinary, Scholarship, etc. . . 3.'i,624 14 Manitoba College 3,43H 07 Home Missions 73,302 41 Home Missions (Special) 19,.'i81 00 Augmentation 24, 158 29 Foreign Missions 99,413 63 Foreign Missions (Special) 39,047 00 Widows' and Orphans' Fund, Endowment and Ordinary .... 10,122 26 Widows' and Orphans' Fund, Ministers' Rates 4,089 35 Aged and Infirm Ministers', Endowment and Ordinary 15,340 16 Aged and Infirm Ministers', Ministers' Rates 1,749 92 Assembly Fund 4,461 49 French Evangelization . 27,227 52 Pointe aux Trembles 9,885 37 Several special Funds 4,916 91 $381,623 98 i M Including interest on invested Funds, repayment of loans, etc., the total amount received for the year by Rev. Dr. Warden at the Toronto office was $548,262.72. It will be observed, upon reference to the accompanying financial statements, that the year closed without debt in all the Funds of the Church, with two exceptions. Since the books were closed the shortage in these two has largely been reduced, and will probably be entirely removed before the date of the meeting of Assembly. The question is sometimes asked " What is the cost of administering the missionary and other schemes of tho Church ? " and every now and then the most exaggerated state- ments appear in the pross and elsewhere. Your Committee think it well to authoritatively state that the actual cost of ad- ministering the missionary and benevolent schemes of our Church last year was 3.40 or less than 3^ per cent. "This includes salary of Agent, Secretaries, expenses of Com- mittees, office rent, oflice staff, printing, stationery, postage, and everything that pertains to administration. Your committee can, without hesitation, affirm that no business in the country involving an annual turn over of upwards of half a million dollars, is carried on at anything like the same ratio of expense. A considerable number of congregations every year fail to contribute to one or more of the schemes. Your Committee repeat the recommendation of last year, that Presby- teries be requested, at their first meeting after the Assembly rises, to consider this matter, with a view to securing the organization of an efficient committee in every con- gregation and mission station within their bounds, so that a contribution may annually be obtained for every scheme. 'I, 495 An increasing number of oongreKfttiona are now forwarding their cuntrihutiona quarterly or half-yearly, apportioning the amount to the several schemes at the und of the y ar. In thin way the use of the money is obtained by the ap;ent of the Church, and a oonsidurable saving in interest etTected. A very large proportion of the total revenue of the year for the principal schemes comes in during the last month or two. As several of the mission committees and boards meet in tlie middlu of March, it is of great importance that the total revenue of the vuar should be received prior to these meetings, so that the committees may know how the funds stand, anu whether they are in a posi- tion to expand the work, or otherwise, for the following year. Your Committee recommend that the Assembly instruct congregations to forward their contributions prior to the 28th of February annually. Your Committee further recommend that the Oene*'al Assembly instruct congre- gations, in allocating theii missionary contributions, to have respect to the reiiuirements of the several schemes, so that every department of the work of the Church may receive its fair share of the amount to be allocated by individual congregations. All of which is respectfully submitted. Toronto, May 25th, 1S90. JOS.

Auditors l'^- ^- MACKINTOSH, Jiuamra ^^ BLACKWOOD. Hi i, 516 REPOKT OF COMMITTEE ON UNION. The Committee on Union with other Churches was not convened during the past year ; nor was any special action taken in the matter of co-operation with the Methodist Church of Canada, in connection with the objects specified in thw resolutions of the Methodist Quadrennial Conference submitted to a previous CJeneral Assembly. The very cordial reception accorded to your delegates to the Quadrennial Conference which met in Toronto in September last, as well as lengthened conversations had by the convener of your Committee with the General Superintendent of the Methodist Church, give assur- ance that that Church still earnestly desires not only to reciprocate courtesies with the Presbyterian Church, bu*^^ also to have some scheme or arrangement estal)lished by which the united moral force of these Churches may the more eftectually be brought to bear in the promotion of the moral and religious welfare of the country. This is certainly an end of very great importance, and one that may well be sought apart from any(]ue8tion as to Incorporate Union. It is therefore respectfully recommended that the (jeneral Assembly reappoint its Committee on Union, with instructions to give its attention to the subject here indicated, as it may have opportunity. Hamilton, June 16th, 1899. WM. CAVEN, Conveiier. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RELIGIOUS INSTRUC- TION IN SCHOOLS. The Rev. Herbert Symonds, B.A., Convener of the Committee of the Provincial Synod of the Church of England on Religious Instruction in Schools, entered into correspondence with the Convener of your Committee, with the view of securing common action in the matter entrusted to these Committees. Mr. Symonds gave a summary of what the Committee of the Church of England would desire to have established in the Public Schools of our several provinces in the way of religious in- struction, and requested that he might be favored with the opinion of your Committee, or such members of it as could readily be convened, on the proposals of his Committee. A meeting of the members of your Committee who reside in Toronto was called for the ;?(1th of December, when the following attended, viz.: — Rev. Dr. MacLaien, Messrs. J. K. Macdonald and R. Kilgour and the Convener. After careful consideration of the proposals of the Committee of the Church of England and of the whole (juestion concerned, your Committee indicated its view? in these propositions : — 1. We approve of the daily reading of the Scriptures in the Public Schools, as now authorized. '2. Religous Instruction should be given twice weekly ; not more than half an hour each time being devoted to this exercise. ;i. Such instruction should be based on Scripture, and should aim at giving an intelligent view of the passage of Scripture read, but no sectarian or denominational element shall enter into the instruction given. 517 4. Selected passages of Scripture should be memorized by the pupils. 5. Religous Instruction should be j»iven by the teacher, except where trustees deem it desirable to have a different arrangement. <). School regulations should contain a conscience clause, as at present. The scheme approved by the members of your Committee who met in Toronto was found to be in substantial accord with the proposals submitted to them, and has been definitely accepted by the Committee of the Church of Kngland ; the Convener of which is endeavoring to arrange a meeting of representatives of the Churches referred to in this report, and of other Churches, with the view of considering still more fully the proposals which have met the approval of the two Committees, and of adopting measures by which, if possible, effect may be given to the conclusions arrived at. The Rev. J. C. Herdman, Vice-Convener of the Committee on Religious Instruction in Schools, writes, that in the North- West Territori )s, the Presbyteries of llegina, Edmonton and Calgary all approved of having a place given to religion in the Public Schools, and for this end accepted the propositions which were drawn up by a Committee in Calgary, consisting of repre.sentatives of tli9 Anglican, Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian Churches. These propositions are. in substance, as follows : — That the use of the Lord's Prayer at ihe opening of eciiools in the North- West Territories be made compulsory ; that the Ten Commandmsnts be printed in a form, easily legible and hung in a conspicuous place in schools ; that the curriculum of studies shall include the use of some text-book on Christian Ethics ; that the daily programme i » all Public Schools shall embrace the reading of a passage of Scripture, without note or comment, immediately after the use of the Lord's Prayer ; that it be a recommendation that the greatest vigilance be exercised in maintaining the highes*^ ,>ossibIe standard of Christian character of teachers and inspectors. The Rev. J. A. Carmichael approached the Legislative Assembly of the Territories (m behalf of the three Presbyteries above named and was accorded a respectful hearing, but the leader of the Government told him that he was not in favor of the propositions submitted and would oppose any steps being taken in the direction of giving them legal effect. The Presbytery of Calgary, in February last, concluded that the best way would be to interview members of the Legiplative Assembly personally, and make it clear to them that there is no wish to introduce Denominational teaching into the schools, Th3 strong point urged in favor of the present system is that clergymen have at present permission to give instruction in religion before the schools close in the after- noon ; but it doe-s not seem that advantage is taken, or can well be taken, in any general way of this permission, so as effectively to accomplish the important end in view. All of which is respectfully submitted. WM. CAVEN, Coni-ener. Toronto, June, 1899. If 618 ROLLS OF SYNODS AND PKESBYTERIES. SYNOD OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES. Thos.
