Your Committee is pleased to report : That the Epworth Leagues of this Conference nre doing a noble work and tilling a long-felt want. We have also to report an increase of four in the number of Leagues, and thirty-five in membership. We wish to recommend — 1. That every effort be made to form new societies, and that the pas- tors take pains to understand and explain the workings of the Society. 2. That every effort be made to have every League represented at the conventions called by the Provincial Association. Having had the pro- gramme of the Second Annual Convention, to be held in Vancouver frou; June 14th to 19th, inclusive, placed in our hands, we heartily commend this programme to the sympathy and support of our Epworth Leagues. 3. That greater care be exercised in the appointment of officers and committees. i. That this report be read in all the League Societies. David Spenceb, C/uiirman. J. Calvert, Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STATISTICS. Your Committee report as follows : We have tabulated the District Schedules, all of which we find com- plete and believe to be correct, except in one respect, as state ". below. We have alio made some comparisons between them and the reports of last year, and in some respects the comparison is gratifying. The membership of the churches in this Conference has increased by 269. The dmounts raised for (^onnexional purposes by the various Cir- cuits and Missions is below that of last year by |l,.'n4. The grand total of amounts raised for all purposes is also below last year in the sum of 8! 1,041. The severe financial closeness of the past year is no doubt the cause of these fallings off. The amounts paid by the Circuits for the support of ministers, as far as we are able to estimate, is in advance of last year, the amount of advance being ^2,31(1. We make this recommendation : Tliat, inasmuch as some of the Circuits and .Missions do not make proper disposition of such items as " Horse Keep," etc., the District Meetings be requested to make strict imjuiry into such items in the future, and direct that each item be entered in the proper column. W. VV. Baks, Chairman. . ' - Ja8, Calvkrt, Secretary. 26 MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA [1893 REPORT OF TEMPERANCE OOMLIITTEE. Your Committee has not received any special communication ufion which to report, but may sav that while we recognize the existing evils of intemperance, which are no less than on former years, we rejoice in the steady growth of temperance organizations, and we believe an increasing interest in the mind of the public. As a Church we have sustained our record of uncompromising hostility to the liquor traffic, believing it to be the greatest power in the land opposing moral and religious advancement. We are glad to see the increasing interest which is being taken in juvenile work by the temperance organizations, and urge our ministers to give as much help as possible to this work. We would express our hearty approval of the action of the members of Parliament in scouring an amendment to the Municipal Act with reference to clubs. We find a growing sentiment in favor of entire prohibition of the liquor traffic manifested in arrangements for the formation of prohibition clubs. We would urge our ministers and people to seek to secure, at an early date, a vote on the question of Prohibition. As far as we are able to judge, we fear that the action of the Decennial Missionary Conference of India in failing to condemn the action of the Government in encouraging intemperance, mpurity and the traflSc in opium, is likely to create a false impression \n the eyes of the world. We desire, therefore, to place on record our disapproval of these evils, and our determination to do all in our power to drive them from our land. A. E. Green, Chairman. J. A. Wood, Secretary.

Your Committee on tiie state of tlie Work 'i)eg to report hopefully of what is being done for tiie cause of religion among us as a Ciiurclh The various departments and interests of our work have been pre- sented with earnestne.ss and zeal, resulting in some cases in (-vident growth and success. True, the financial depression so common during the past year has had a depressing eflfect in some instances, but the faith lud effort of our ministers and people have been conspicuously and graciously owned of God in moral aiul spiritual prosperity. The evidence of this appears in the lilessed revival reported among the Indians of the Port Simpson District, in the many i.ew openings fur missionaries, in t.ie total inc ease of members throughout the Province, and last, but not least, in the successful inauguration of a movement for a college under our own auspices, which has already met with encourage- ment and help. mm^ 1893] METHODIST CONFERENCE. 31 Now_ that our fair Province is known to the world at large and beconi- iug famous, thus attracting people to our coast and interior settlements, tresli obligations rest upon us to provide the ordinances of religion to those whom the Providence of God sends among us. For this object, renewed and determined outlay and effort are needed and should be liberally supplied. To the Great Head of the Church we render devout thanksgiving for all piist success, and to Him we look for tlie blessing and favor which is essential to save sinners and establish believers. Jamhs Tuhnkm, Chairman. C. BuYAN' Secretary, REPORT OF SABBATH SCHOOL COMMITTEE. Your Committee is pleased to report progress made in this department the past year. 1. Moneys raised for Sunday School purposes ^,691 45 Increase, $1,197 9a. Moneys raised for Missions 209 25 Deorcase, $44.95. Total ^ $3,900 70 Total increase, $1,152 98. 2. Your Committee notice with regret that due regard is not given to the uirculiition of papers published at our own Book Room in two or three schools. 3. We are glad to find an increase of 631 volumes in our libraries, but speeiiil care should be taken by the school boards in selecting books so as to raise the stafidard and cultivate a taste for good literature. 4. Only two sihools are reported as holding teachers' meetings for the study of lessons. We urge the importance of regular weekly meetings for this purpose. ."'. It is recommended that a pledge roll be kept in each school, and that it be brouglit before the scholars for signature at least once a quarter. •i. Out of 3,680 scholars only 452 are reported studying catechism, .Uthougli this is a small increase on least year, our school boards are not alive to this most important branch of Sabbath School work. We sug- sst that eacli minister use his best endeavors to see that there is a more ;'«ieral use of the catechism in every school. ". We suggest the advisability as far as possible of having written I fxamiuations Ujjon the lesson half-yearly or annually, with a view to giving iiiipoi'taiice to and making more thorough the work of the scholars. '^. We recommend that the Conference request the President to call a pabbatli School convention during the year; and we further recommend t our schools co-operate with otiier denominations desirous of holding I conventions. S. J. Thompson, Chairman. A. W. E. THOumov, Secretary. 32 MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA [1893 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS. Your Coniiuittee on Missions beg leave to report as follows : 1. Re the memorial of the Victoria District asking for the establishment of a Chinese Mission at Nanaimo, we recommend that such a Mission be established. 2. We also recommend that this Conference request the General Board of " sions to grant Bro. Chan Sing Kai a salary of $700 and travelling c J .nses. 6. We turther recommend the Conference to request the General Board of Missions to pay the sum of $281. 60, being the balance due to Rev. T. Crosby and Rev. C. M. Tate, as per Glad Tidings accounts. 4. Your Committee having carefully considered the reports of our mis- sionaries to the native tribes, and having in view the best interests of this important work, beg to report that in their judgment the continued use of the steamer Glad Tidings is very important, and if the General Board of Missions can see its way to the appointment of an earnest mis- sionary who may have some experience in our work amongst the Indian tribes and knowledge of Indian character, whose duty it shall be to visit those numerous bands of Indians who are to this day in heathen darkness, having scarcely yet heard the gospel message of salvation, we believe that the great Head of the Church would bless this enterprise, and render this steamer a greater blessing to all concerned than has yet been realized. We have the informatioHi before us that there are thousands of Indians on the seaboard of this Province who are still without any Protestant mis- sionary. We hu."e a suitable steamer, well equipped for such service as w^e suggest, and we believe it is the duty of our Church to make the best possible use of this vessel, which must be ever regarded as an expression of the Christian benevolence of our people. Should lack of funds render the appointment of a special missionary impracticable for the present year, we recommend that the steamer bo placed at the disposal of the chairman of the Simpson District, and that a grant be made, sufficient to enable him to use her as opportunity may offer in visiting various Missions on the District, and particularly in carrying bands of Christian workers from cai.ip to camp and holding special evangelistic services, as has been done with most blessed results during the past winter. 5. We further recommend that we adopt the minute of the Simpson District re the Boys' Home at Port Simpson. (See Resolution 3, Simpson District.) 6 Your Committee have considered the resolution of the Simpson Dis- trict with reference to the establishment of an Indian Industrial School at Bella Bella or vicinity, and we desire to express our approval of the suggestion contained therein, and recommend that the resolution be forwarded to tht "General Board of Missions. 7. Ri the recommendation for an Industrial School to bo established in Upper Skeena, we recommend the minute of the District be adopted. 8. We further recommend the Conference to forward the table pre- pared by Brothers Crosby and Bolton, which shows the discrimination practised by the Indian Departinent against Indian Schools under the care of the Methodist Church, as compared with their treatment of those under the care of other Churches. 1893] METHODIST CONFERENCE. 33 9. We recommend that the Conference appoint the following brethren as an Advisory Committee on the Glad Tidings: Revs. J. H. White, C. Watson, and Bros. Thos. Cunningham and Wm. Shannon. 10. Further, that in view of the pressing necessity for an additional labourer in the Chinese Department we would earnestly recommend the Missionary Society to secure if possible the services of Bro. Grainger Hargraves, a minister of the Wesleyan Methodist Church recently returned from years of successful service in China, as one whose presence, counsels and labours would be of very great value in advancing the interests of our Chinese Mission work. Joseph Hall, President. Geo. F. Hopkins, Secretary. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. Your Committee beg leave to report : 1. That we are deeply impressed with the responsibility of our Church in relation to Sabbath Observance in this country, and would earnestly admonish our ministers and people to aim at reflecting the spirit of Bible teaching with regard to it. The Sabbath perishes only from the loss of the truth it embodies. For the maintenance of this, we need to keep to Bible teaching, to observe the estimate! and emphasis God Himself has placed upon it. Its unabated and undying obligation as the n st of holi- ness, and seen in the fact, that the command concerning it stands peer of the nine other Commandments in the ten applications of the one great law of love, with no liberty to modify this that does not apply equally to all the rest. The striking coincidence of a desecrated Sabbath and a back- slidden state in God's ancient Church, is admonitory, and has repeated itself again and again in the history of nations and individuals. 2. Whilst we would not interfere with the free play of individual con- science, we would at the same time warn against the subtle sophisms that often cloud the mind and serve the ends of inclination, by silencing doubt and over-riding scruple, until the sense of the sanctity of the day is lost. Inclination has many watchwords, and is fruitful in expedients. Facilities are increasing for invading the sanctity of the day and the tendency grows to admit one thing after another under the plausible pretext of "works of necessity," until practice reacts upon ST.t'ment, and the lower motives subordinate the higher. Whilst pum.tilious observance of the (lay is not synonymous with piety, it is equally true that we shall not be- come pious by laxity. We need to be careful, lest by leniency our voices grow weak and weaker in protest, until we have no Sabbath left to defend. Our rebuke of desecration cannot survive the day when it becomes our own condemnation. 3. This day, which stands for the holiest and happiest things of the Church, the birthright rest of toiling man, and which is so strangely and beautifully related to our social institutions and spiritual life, claims a pi-ice in our thought and regard with all its enrichment of scriptural iiieaning, until it becomes more and more a joyous rest day, the Lord's Day indeed. Let ua have a sensitive regard to our influence upon others, 3mc 34 MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA [1893 as well as to the will of God. Much is expected of us, and many eyes are upon us. A tinn, enlightened and conservative position should be ours, and in our practice we should rather err on the side of Fcrupulous- ness than on the side of laxity. Neither the example of others, the tolera- tion of our times, nor tiie fear of ridicule should even cause us to waver. " Ridicule is the test of truth only to those who fear laughter more than God." _ C. Watson, Chairman. John Rouson, Secretary. REPORT OF SUSTENTATION FUND COMMITTEE. Your Committee report as follows : We find a total deficiency in the salaries of domestic missionaries of $4,769.50. To meet this deficiency the several Districts have raised the following sums ; — Victoria District ?414 10 Westminster 490 25 Kamloops 102 9() Simpson 2 00 Conference received 5 00 $1,023 2.5 We desire to express our sincere regret that, notwithstanding the large increase of this amount over the receipts of last year, the amount received is still so inadequate to meet the necessities of the case ; but after the most careful consideration we recommend the following as the most equitable disbursement possible under t!ie circumstances, vi.',. : J. E. Archer, $15 ; E. Manuel. $40; J. A. Wood, $25; C. Bryant, ^55 ; J. W. Winslow, $50 ; Wm. Hicks, $50 ; A. N. Miller, $25 ; W. E. Moody, $18.25; J. D. P. Knox, $15; T. W. Hall, $130; J.

Pearson be re-appointed Treasurer of the Fund. We most earnestly commend this most necessary and important Fund to the hearty sympathy and support of our people and ministers of this Conference. T. W. Hall, Chairman. J. H. White, Secretary. An additional clause to the above was carried as follows : That we re-affirm the resolution of last year, making imperative upon every minister in the Conference to appoint a special Sustentation Fund Sunday, when the necessity and urgent need for contributions be laid before the people, and furthermore that a committee consisting of tlie Chairmen of the Victoria, Westminster and Kamloops Districts, with Messrs. N. Shakespeare, J. R. Pearron and Josiah Savage, be appointed to gather facts and figures and carry out the above regulations. 1893] METHODIST CONFERENCE. 15 REPORT OF EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE. Your Committee beg to report the following amounts contributed by the various districts of this Conference to the Educational Fund : Victoria District $61 66 Westminster District 83 70 Kamloops District 16 60 Simpson District 24 00 tl85 85 70 per cunt, of tliis amoant to be rem'tted to tlie Kduca- tional Board $139 42 25 per cent, to be retained by this Conference 46 43 Amount carried over from last year 8 47 Total $64 90 Less expenses of Kxamining Board 16 60 Leaving a net balance of $38 40 We recommend that this sum be equally divided between J. D. P. K'.iox and T. Neville. We recommend that T. Neville, J. D. P. Knox, H. L. Levering and S. Wilkinson be allowed to attend the Columbia Methodist College for tiie next Conference year. We further recommend tliat application be made to the General Con- ference Special Committee to grant financial aid to Columbia Methodist Collej,'e of a sum at least equal to the amount paid into the Educational Society by the British Columbia Conference. We further recommend that the Chairman and Financial Secretary of Westminster District and the Principal of the Columbia Methodist College be a Committee to arrange for supplyof pulpit and pastoral work by Conference students attending said College and to determine the remun- eration to be allowed for such source, and that Thomas Cunningham be appointed Treasurer of the Fund. All of which is respectfully submitted. Joseph Hall, C/i ..rman. Thomas Cunninoham, Secretary. REPORT OP COMMITTEE ON MEMORIALS. 1. Ri' Memorial of Westminster District in re Circuit Invitations, as follows : Ri^solced, — That in the opinion of this Quarterly Board (i.e., New Westminster Circuit Q.O. B.) the giving of invitations by Quarterly Offi- cial Hoards and the acceptance of such invitations by ministers, is coiurary to the spirit of Methodism and subversive of the principle of the itinerancy. The committee made no recommendation. In amend- ment to the report, it was moved by D. S. Curtis, seconded by A. E. Oreen, That the above resolution be the deliverance of the Conference. It was moved in amendment to the amendment, by D. Robson, Esq., seconded by Rev. J. H. Winslow, 36 MINUTES OF THE BKITISH COLUMBIA [1893 Whereas, the plan of tlie itinerancy in the Methodist Church, ftiining to secure the wisest distribution of niinisteriiil iaV)or witliin the hounds of the Conference, and a periodic change of pastors is l)ased on the mutual surrender by people and pastors of their riufits in rej^ard to choice of laborer or field into the liands of a coniniitteo expressly ap- pointed for tliis purpose by the Joint vote of laymen and ministers ; And, whereas, the discipline of the Church provides specifically for the presentation to the Stationing Committee of the views of the Quarterly OflBcial Boards or ministers in particular appointments ; And, whereas, there has grown up a practice of Quarterly Official Boards and ministers entering into negotiations directly with each other with the object of securing certain a))pointnients and giving and accept- ing invitations without the assent or knowledge of the Stationing Com- mittee ; And, whereas, the practice has a tendency to encourage a spirit of self-seeking among congregations and ministers and occasions serious embarrassment to the Stationing Committee whose work it has forestalled and is a source of danger to the peace and fraternity of the Church; therefore. Resolved, — That in the opinion of this Conference the practice of giving and receiving invitations otherwise than through the Stationing Ccmmitcee ought to be discontinued by our churches and ministers, and that while giving the alt)ention to proper representations made to Quar- terly Official Boards in conformity with the provisions of the Discipline, the Stati'^ning Committee should hereafter refuse to consider any nego- tiations or invitations which may have been carried on or given directly between churches and ministers. The amendment was discussed "at length, when Rev. L r. Carman stated that while he was willing to conduct the consideration of the question n Circuit InvitationH, according U- the rules of debate, he was unable, as an administrator of the Oenernl Donference, to put the amendment, or the amendment to the ameudn.enf., to vote by the Conference. The chair, therefore, rul'^.i 'oth out of order, as they transcend the powers of the Conference as defined by the Discipline. The recommendation of the committee was then accepted. 2. Re salaries of Domestic Missionaries, — That having considered the memorial of Kamloops District re the salaries of Domestic Missionaries. we recommend that the General Board be urged, if possible, to restore the basis upon which the grants are made to this Conference, to the aniouuts allowed prior to the last meeting of the Board. Further, inasmuch as the position of Kamloops District is unique, the cost of living and ot travelling in that portion of the Province being exceptionally high, we would strongly urge upon the General Board the iuiperative need that exists of giving that District special consideration if our work in that great country is to be carried on efficiently, and would recommend thai grants be made to that District upon the basis adopted without discount. believing that such an arrangement would be the most equitable one possible under the circumstances. We furthermore express our convic- tion that it is desirable in the interests of our work in that District that the General Board make such additional provision for the Chaiinian as 1893] METHODIST GOVFERKNCE. 37 shall piiablo the Conference to appoint a man to the oversight of the District irrespective of the size of liis family. We also direct our repre- sentation to the General Board to collect such facts and figures and secure such information as shall enable them to place the claims of Do- mestic Missionaries in this Conference, and particularly in tho Kamloops District, clearly and strongly before the Hoard; the Financial District Meeting of Kamloops to be instructed to arrange its recommendations in iiceoril.ince with this clause. ■I. lie travelling expenses of Chairmen of Missionary Districts, we recDininoMd that the General Board bo urgently requested to make such provision for the travelling expenses of the Chairmen of Missionary Dis- tricts as shall enable them to visit tlie Circuits and Missions under their cliarge in accordance with the j.ovisions of the Discipline. ."), A''j tlit^ transfer of properties now held by the Trustee Board of the Centnil Church, New Westminster, to the Trust Boards of the West End and Sapperton congregations, we recommend that the request of the Board be granted.

The following preamble and resolution was reported to the Corference by the Stationing Committee, concurred in and ordered to be pr ted in the Minutes ;— Whereas, the work of the Stationing Committee has been rendered more ditlicult thR.i otherwise it would have been, by the fact that the Quarterly Othcial Boards of some Circuits within tiie bounds of the Con- ference had entered into private negotiations with ministers belonging to other Conferences with a view to securing their services for these par- ticular stations, without due consideration being given to the convenience or comfort of ministers and their families now in the field, or to such an arrangement of the stations as would ensure the most efhcient administra- tion of District and Conference work ; therefore, Restilved, — That while we have on this occasion complied as far as pos- silile with the expressed wishes of the Circuits concerned, we desire to kindly point out to the esteemed brethren couiposing the Quarterly Official Hoards, that in so small ii Conference as ours, the pursuance, of the course above referred to cannot fail to cause serious embarrassment to the Stationing Committee, lessen the efficiency of our Churcli as a whole, and disturb to some extent tlie present state of good feeling and mutual confidence so happily existing between ministers and people, and among the various Circuits and Missions of our Conference. ^^ I' would -<"<''>id our people that our Churches are not indepencent I congregations, but a connexion, and that the principle of the itinerancy can he given its highest efficiency only when both people and pastors loyally surrender into the hands of the Stationing Committee, elected by I the joint vote of laity and minister, tiie right to choose, on the one hand, *hat jjastors they shall have, and on the other, what congregations they ' nil serve. 44 MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA [1893 PASTORAL ADDRESS. Dearly Beloved, — Once more assembled ia Annual Conference for the purpose of reviewing the work of tlie past year and attending to the varied and important duties to which \>y the grxce of God we have been called, we greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, hy whose abounding niei'cy we ha\e been made fellow-heirH to the everlasting inherit- ance, unto whom, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, be all praise and glory, world without end. We give thanks to God and the Father of cur Lord Jesus Christ for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, praying always for you that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the kn twledge of God. We rejoice at the closing hours of this Conference to record the har- mony and brotherly love which have characterized its proceedings, and above all, with profound gratitude do we make mention of the presence of our Divine Master so blessedly vouchsafed to us in all our gatherings for worship and throughout the sessions of Conference. The returns which come to us from the several Districts show a grati- fying increase in the membership of the Church during the year, largely the result of revivals, which by the grace of God have watered and re- freshed the heritage of the Lord in the different sections of the Conference. The Simpson District has been especially favored, and many of the Indians on that extensive District have been brougl.t to a saving know- ledge of Christ during the year. With devout gratitude to the Great Head of tlii. Church we record the reception into full connection with the ministry of our Church by thin Conference of live young men, who have given good proof of their minis- try during four years of probation, and have passed successfully nil the examinations prescribed by the Discipline of the Church. Tlie Sabljath School returns show a steady increase both in attendance and in amounts raised for Sahbath School and other purposes ; but again we would direct your uttention, brethren, to the fact that our catechism is not so generally used by the schools as is desirable for building up and ectablishing our young people in the doctrines of our holy religion, a clear and compreliensive knowledge of which is so necessary for the devel- opment of an earnest and intelligent piety. We would also mention with much gratification the steady progress which is being made by the Epworth Leagues of Christian Endeavor wiihin the bounds of this Co iference, and most earnestly comniend them to your appreciative regard and fostering care. We affectionately urge that great care be taken that these societies, which have already become so valuable an organization of forces for tlie prosecui 'on of religious work, shall be truly loyal to the doctrines and di-scipline of the Church, and to this end we strongly recommend the employment of every available means of becoming thoroughly acquainted with them. 1893] METHODIST CONFEKfiNCE. Tlie past year will be long remembered as an important epoch in the history of our Church in this Province, because of the establisliment of "Columbian Methodist College," which took place on the 8th of September, 1892, under the efficient principalship of Rev. R. Whittington, M.A., B.Sc, and Miss Lucy Hurlbert, M.E.L., and was incorporated by Act of Provincial Parliament at its last session. The success of this College, which is established by the British Columbia Conference of the Methodist Cliurch for the purpose of imparting educa- tion to the youth of both sexes in the higher departments of learning, under tiie most healthful Christian influences, has greatly exceeded the expectations of its most sanguine promoters ; and this Conference, encour- aged by tho past, and realizing tlie needs of the young men who are to constitute the ministry of the coming years, has resolved on the immediate establishment of a theological department, where an efficient training, fitting them for the great life work to which they have been called of God, will be imparted. The Rer. J. H. White, ex President of the Conference, has been appointed College Secretary, and is released from circuit duties in order that he may devote his entire time to the service of the Church ill this important interest. We bespeak for him your heaity and prayerful co-operation in his work. Again we would impress upon your minds, brethren, the solemn and perpetual obligation upon all men to " remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy," and would atiectionately warn you against any relaxation from the oart-ful and conscientious observance of this holy day, instituted of God for sacred rest and divine worship. The great temperance reform still calU loudly for unremitting and earnest etfbrt on the part of the Church ; and let us exhort you, brethren, to unceasing tidelity in this severe and prolonged struggle against intem- perance, that most prolitic source of poverty and crime. While it is matter for devout gratitude to God that during the past year the lives of all our ministers have been preserved amid the dangers wid toils incident, especially, to missionary life in some parts of our work, yet we are deeply conscious of the loss sustained by our work in the retire- ment of Rev. C. Bryant from the active ranks of the ministry on account of failing health. We bespeak for him your earnest prayers, if peradven- ture it may please God to restore him again to health and to his loved employ. We cannot close this pastoral address without referring to the great pleasure and profit we have derived from the presence with us of our beloved and revered General Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Carman, whose matured wisdom and stirring gospel addrfssen have been a source of strength and inspiration to us. We ask you to join us in prayer to Almighty God that his useful life may be long spared to the Church. And now, brethren, we commend you to God and to the word of His srace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among i all them which are sanctified And unto Him who is able to keep you trom falling, and to present yuu tauiilcss beioie the presence of His glory with e.xceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, (loiniiiion and power, both now and ever.

It consists of noonday sermons dolivcrod a year or two back by the Kev. W. L. watkinson, perhaps the most cultured, and certainly the niosl original, pi'eacher of contemporary Mclliodism. The spiritual insiuht and elliicjil suKgestivcneHK of these sermons is un(nieKtionable ; they are full of close reasoninK, and in point of literary expression thry reach a level which is far from common Frequently the literary and uocial verdicts of the ago arc turned to telling account by the preaonor. who also draws Illustrations in support of his theme from the most recent conclusions of acionco."— 27i£ Speaker. "Touching the question of intemperance, the author refers to Mr. Matthieu Williams' contention that inebriety is not an unmitigated evil, that it forms a happy way of getting rid of the weak-minded and incapable members of the community- '.So,' sarcastically exclaims Mr. Watkinson, 'alcohol is a splendid instrument of civilization ! . . . . Drunkenness is one of Nature's exquisite arrangements for keeping things up to the mark I "—diri-stian Million. "Mr. Watkinson's sermons i;re marked by vigorons thinking, fresh handling of texts and subjects, apt and unhackneyed quotation, and felicitous illustration." Olaagow Herald. * * * "There are plenty of oigns in this volume that the writer is a man of culture. Almost every page sliow.i that ho has read widely ; and ho makes the scientist, the philosopher, the poet and the ni)\clist contribute to the elucidation and enforcement uf the tnemo ho has in hand."— /-Voto a Iteview. «[!|(l.ilnliililliiliiliililliilll|jililliilillii|itlii|iilsl Jh|iiliil:ili1Hl;jiilHltt|M|':|iit(iliiliilrtlirliiltrta|iilii|illii«HlitlfnirfillulillliltlllillMli)IMHmaM WILLIAM BRIGGS, WKSLKY JiCILDINOB, TORONTO, O.
