The recommendations, omitting the one relating to Manitoba College, above, are as follows ; — 1. That the arrears of stipend, of one hundred and thirty- seven dollars (^137), due by the congregations in British Colum- bia to Mr. R.

That the Assembly agree to the recommendation of the Home Mission Committee to inci'ease the salaries of the Mis- sionaries in Manitdba, as stated in the report. 3. That this Assembly approve of the action of the Home Mission Committee in passing a resolution "requiring the Pres- bytery of Manitoba hereafter to refuse the resignation of any Missionary until the committee has been corresponded with, and time allowed to supply his place," since, under the circum- stances, the committee could not have acted otherwise, as guardians of the Home Mission Fund and as having due regard to the proper working of the. Manitoba Mission. 4. That the attention of the Assembly being called to the fact that the Presbytery of Manitoba have not transmitted their Report on Missions to the Home Mission Committee, and con- sidering the large grants from the fund received by this Pres- bytery, the Home Mission Committee be authorized to secure compliance with the regulations conditional upon the obtaining of these grants, and to procure the necessary information before the next meeting of the committee. 6. That the Presbytery of Manitoba having taken steps to raise certain of their Mission Stations to the status of sui^plemented gregations- congregations, with powers to call -ministers, this Assembly Manitoba, approve of such efforts and consider them deserving of encour- agement, but order that the above named Presbytery be requir- ed, before sustaining a call to a minister in any of these congrega- tions, to communicate with the Convener of the Home Mission Committee, so that the amount of supplement to be given may be decided on. 6. That this Court approve of the several sums voted to Professor Hart, of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in con- nection with the Church of Scotland, for his valuable seryices in the Manitoba College, and in the mission field of the Province, and that the thanks of the Assembly be conveyed to him, and to Dr. Clarke, through the Home Mission Committee, for [312] Returns- Manitoba.

That the Assembly are unable to set forth as they desire their appreciation of the valuable services rendered to our Home Mission work by the convener of the committee, Mr. \Im. Cochrane, M.A., whose zeal ami efforts in behalf of the scheme have been unusually great during the present year, and that, with the view of enabling him to employ such assistance as may be indispensable, he be authorized to draw on the funds of the Church at the rate of ^200 per annum, and that this amount be handed to him to meet his expenses for assistance during the past year, 9. That the attention of the Assembly being called to the delicate and difficult duties performed during the year by Mr. R. Torrance, the Convener of the Committee for the Dis- tribution of Probationers, order that the grant of $50, voted to him last year, be continued for this year. . 10. That after careful examination of the Regulations of the Home Mission Committee in connection with the overture from the Presbytery of Cobourg, the only alteration which is deemed advisable at present is the deleting of the latter half of number two of these regulations, which will then stand as follows : — " Ministers and Probationers who have retired from the Ministry, and entered on some other calling for the time, shall not have their names put on the list of distribution without the permission of the General Assembly," — the words following being struck out — " And that ministers resigning their charges oftener than twice, shall have their names put on the list only with the permission of the General Assembly to that effect." 11. That with respect to the overture from the Presbytery of Montreal, the Assembly adopt the resolution of the Home Mission Committee, That all student missionaries be paid at the minimum rate of six dollars per week, during the summer, along with their board, and travelling expenses to the field of labour, and all probationers at the minimum rate of seven dollars per Sabbath, along with their board, and that this amount be increased gradually in proportion to the stipend paid before by the respective congregations, and that this regulation go into operation on the first day of October next.

The Assembly called for the report of the Committee to frame a Deliverance on the Report of the Foreign Mission Committee. The report being presented and read, was received and adopted. The deliverance therein contained is in terms following : — 1. The Assembly records its gratitude to Almighty God for the Report on the subject of Missions to the Heathen ; for the safe arrival at their destination of the missionaries sent to India ; for the care taken of the life and health of the missionaries in dif- ferent fields, and for any success vouchsafed ; and especially for the preservation of the life and health of our missionary to For- mosa, amid the peculiar dangers and trials which have sur- rounded him, and for successes, the reality of which has been, in some respects, too sadly yet gloriously proved in the joyful endurance of persecution, and in the death of some of the con- verts graciously given him; and they pray that the number of missionaries may be greatly increased, and that the power of Christ may rest on them and on their labours. 2. The Assembly accepts with thankfulness the services of Dr. J. B. Fraser as medical missionary for Formosa, and they cor- dially approve of the resolution of the committee to send another missionary to that field as soon as possible, and they authorize any Presbytery to which application shall be made to ordain Dr. Fraser and any other missionary who may be selected. 3. The Assembly rejoice that the congregations of the Church appear to be awakening to a sense of their duty and privilege in being fellow-workers with God in making His glory known, as ihown in the increased contributions to the Foreign Mission Fund. 4. The Assembly leave it in the hands of the Foreign Mission Committee to provide for the Saskatchewan Mission as they deem best in the circumstances. REFERENCE — PRESBYTERY OP PARIS— REV. J. HOWIE.

The Home Mission Committee ia presenting to the General Assembly tbeir Annual Report, desire to express their gratitude to Almighty God for the large measure o( success that has crowned their efforts during the year. In no former period of our history as a church, has such an amount of mission work been accomplished, or with more gratifying results. Your Committee have from time to time by deputations and special appeals endeavored to awaken increased interest in our Home Mission work. They regret, however, that the increase it) the funds — reasonably expected and absolutely necessary if our Church is to retain her present position and occupy new fields — has not been fully realised. The result is that the close of the financial year fin.ds the Disbursements in excess of the Receipts to the extent of 91^9.52. The contributions from all sources is 920,531.27, while the expenditure is 920,730.79. _ It has only been by the strictest economy, and the refusal of many new appli- cations, that a much larger deficit is not reported. This economy your Committee feels assured has not always beeh justifiable, and cannot be continued without danger to our Missionary interests. It ought not to be necessary were the members and adherents of our church alive to the importance of Home Mission work. The contributions of 50,000 members should be such as to place the Committee in a position* to fill every new opening without being restricted by the fear of debt. As the case now stands, for eight months in the year, the Committee, in order to meet pressing obligations, have to borrow large sums of money, trusting to forth- coming collections to discharge their indebtedness. How to meet old claims, withoat entering into new engagements, is all that can be done in present oircumstAnces. • The following tables show the amounts contributed and expended bj the several Presbyteries, as contrasted with the year 1B72-73. m[i: ■:? i: i 1 1 I i f If TABULAR STATEMENTS. ii ' .'• (i ( • ^ n ii AncountB contributed by the several PreBbyteries of the Churoh for the year 1873-74- Amount Contributkd.

As only oue application was made, they diil not feel warranted in making an appointment. Mr. Jamiesou still occupies New Westminster and the adjacent stations of North Arm aud Liangley. Very little progress has been made during the past year. lu a letter received from Mr. JamiusoD Bince the April meeting of the Home Mission Committee, he says : "I have been engaged during the past year in conducting services at the usual stations. These bave been so often reported upon, that it is unuecesaary to repeat tbem. The changes are very few. There has been some increase to the population, but few of them belong to our church. I have had, however, more than the us^ual amount of (liscouragements to contend with. But for the great disappointment in the railway, one might reasonably have expected to see a different state of affairs throughout the Province, and a consequent increase of more encouraging material for religions organisations. * * , * * The lloatiug character of the population demands the exercise of more than ordinary faith. While there has been much toilsome labor, the past twelve years, there has been little or no opportunity for interesting results. Ours is in fact an itinerant mission, with this difference, tbat while the minister is stationery the people are constantly moving. It would not, however, be right to conclude that our labor or the expenditure of so much money by the church have been in vain, because our membership and attendance are comparatively small at any time." The financial statement submitted by the managers of the congregation fvofVi January 1st, 1873, to March 31st, 1874, is as follows :— ; Receipts. LANGLEY SETTLEMRXT.

Of the amount, as will be seen by the financial statement, only $463 has been paid. Mr. Jamiesou writes that on thi^ account, coupled with the high rate of living, he has incurred a ^ood deal of debt to several parties for supplies of necessaries, besides using a legacy of $200 left him by a member of the church, which otherwise would have been invested for future want. Accompanying the financial statement, the floaamittee of the church sent the following communication, which may guide the Assembly in its action regarding the Mission : — New Westminster, B. C, ISth March, 1874. Sir, — I am directed by the Committee of St. Andrew's Church to forward to yon the enclosed statement of receipts and expenditure of the Mission Station here, in csnuection with the Canada Presbyterian Church, and at the same time to lay before you some facts relative to the present and prospective state of the Mission. As the statement will show, the total amount paid as salary to our pastor. Rev. 1\. Jamieson, since the begining of 1873, is, $463, this, with the $1,000 per annum, which he receives from the Canada Presbyterian Church, makes $1,713 for fifteen months, an amount altogether inadequate to his support, in this country, where many oi the necessaries of life are so expensive ; nor can the Committee hope to raise a much larger sum during the year upon which we have entered. The congre- gation in the city, from which a large proportion of the revenue is drawn, is, however, increasing steadily, though slowly as yet, and the Committee trust that, piospering with the prosperity which has lately begun to dawn upon the Province, the Presbyterian Church in New Westminster will soon see brighter days. The Committee feel sure that you would regret to see the work of the church here abandoned, the majority of the different congregations gathered into other folds, and the labor and expenditure of so many years lost ; yet, faiUug additional help from the mother church, it is difficult to see how this deplorable result can be avoided. The Committee would, therefore, respectfully ask you to consider care- fully the following proposition, viz : That the Canada Presbyterian Church should i^nke good last year's deficit ($187) and make an allowance of $1,200, instead of $1,000, for the years 1874 and 1875. This will involve an expenditure, in excess of the amount provided for under the present arrangement, of a little more than $500, and will, we confidently bchevc, be the means of maintaining and establishing, in this distant corner of the earth, a representative of our beloved church, The Province of British Columbia, owing to causes, into a statement of which it is imposssible to enter here, was in a very depressed condition at the time of its confederation with Canada. From that depression it is now recovering. Largo public works are being unaertaken both by the Dominion and Provincial Govern- ments ; new settlers are constantly arriving in the conntry, and a healthier tone pervades the entire community. These things make it peculiarly desirable that^the work carried on for so many years, under great difficulties and at great expense, should not be abandoned now, when, so far as human eyes can see, the harvest is at, hand. The Cochrane Mr. Smitl •ione goo *1,000 ha "TT-" MANITOBA, " The Committee are able to report enoouraging progress in the Nortb-West. Mr. Ure, of Godericb, and your convener, visited the Province ladt Ji^y in reference to the location of the Manitoba GuUeMi and vrhilaproNeutiuK their special mission, embraced the opportunity of preaching in nearly all the stations, and assisting the brethren in evangelistic work. 13ut for the entire failure of the crops in certain localities, rendering the people unable to give for ordinances to the extent expected, a much larger amount would have been contributed to the Home Mission Fund. The Mission stations of Little Britain, Headingly and Parks Creek, and the new settlements of Bookwood, Springiield and Sunuyside, are all within the region, which had no harvest on account of the grasshopper visitation, and benoe were much crippled. From the annual report presented to the Presbytery of Manitoba, by Prof. Bryco, and subsequently laid before the Home Mission Committee, tho following extracts are made, indicating the progress uf the various stations during the past year. Winnipeg. Winnipeg, as the locality that has received the greatest addition to its popula- tion during the past year, has advanced most rapidly in church matters. Thu congregation has gone on steadily increasing, and has added thirty-four to the roll of members during tho year, and has thus received in all eighty-live members. It may be mentioned that, without doubt, the number would have been considerably increased but for the congregation being without a settled pastor. The congregation has so increased that it was found necessary, in November, to add a wing, so that now the church holds about 350 persons. It baa about eighty families and one hundred single persons. Tho pews are nearly all let ; the con- gregation is influential, and has been energetic and liberal during the past year. As it has declared its intention of being self-supporting it now comes under the head of '.' Vacant Congregations." The expemsesof one candidate (9120) were paid. The amount due to Mr. Moodie, for the first three months of the church year, as assistant to Prof. Bryce, of 1J150, was paid, and the congregation is paying for the present supply from the Home Mission Committee at the rate of $1,500 per annum. The total contributions for all pur^r -js from March Slst to March 31st for the congregation may be set down at $2,300. After meeting what the congregation con- sidered its fair share of expenses, it was decided at the annual meeting to make a donation of 9400 to Prof. Br3'ce for the attention shown by him in- beginning and managing the congregation. This was the more acceptable that the high rate of living in Winnipeg requires it. The resolution adopted at the meeting was aa as follows : " That this congi-egation tender their hearty thanks to Rev. Professor Bryce for bis zealoiis and assiduous services on behalf of the congregation, in the pnlpit and otherwise, and as a token of their appreciation thereof beg to tender him the sum of 9400 to be paid from the ordinary revenue of the church." The congregation, during the past year, chose three elders, who were ordained and inducted, and Prof. Bryce as moderator of session has still a supervision of the congregation. A Missionary Association has been formed in connection with the congregation, and a strong committee of the congregation for giving advice and assistance to immigrants did good service. The Sabbath School, from a mere band- full a year ago, has grown with great rapidity ; it has now a well organised and capable staff of twelve teachers ; it has eighty scholars ; it uses the international series of lessons, and is well supplied with books, catechisms and Sabbath School literature ; its teachers have monthly meetings, and the regular, stated sermon is preached to the children. The supply of the past year has been considerably varied : Messrs. Ure and Cochrane, Commissioners to Manitoba ; Messrs. Macdonnell and Carmicbael, Bev. Mr. Smith, of Fond du Lao ; Bev. Dr. Clarke, and Bev. Mr. Bobertaon, havp each done good service. Of the 92,300 raised during the year by the oongregatiou, 91,000 has been expended in additions to the akursb. v;i: tli Ml- mi 10 Within the last twenty-one monthB between 91,800 to 9^,000 have been expended in building and clearinp;off thoBtnalldebtpreviously on tbeohurob. The church ii now unencumbered. The Trnstees have taken steps to obtain the title from the Hndeon Bay Conpany. Little Britain and Park's Creek. ^ II ' Hi This congregation, under the care of Bev. Mr. Fraser, lias done moderately well during the past year. 9100 toward the Home Mission Fund was the utmost the Presbytery could obtain on account of the harvest beiuR an absolute failure and almost all depending on this as their only resource. It is presumed the people will ha' e some difficulty in living the winter through comfortably. They have with unusubi zeal gone forward with a very substantial stone church, which was very much needed; upon which, however, there is remaining a debt of 91,500. This point is the probable site of a town, andihe hold thus taken by the erection of a good church is not only a present advantage but a considerable proupective one as well. The congregation has added, between the two stations, Little Britain and Park's Creek, fifteen to its roll during the past year. Rockwood. ' I ''■■•': f 1. fi! When the report was given a year ago this station was reported as about to begin a church. The church is erected, though not finished in time for services during the present winter ; the congregation here is not large, but the position is u very important one as being the key to a large extent of country, of thirteen townships open to settlement. To the north of it are the Town^liips of Victoria and Greenwood, where twice during the past winter we had service and which promise to be important fields. West of Rockwood also is a new settlement. Woo Hands, vilierQ we have never had service. In Bockwood we have maintained a regular fortnigfitly service for the past year. Springfield and Sunnyside. Since last year Sunnyside has been added as a new station. Although this region has a small Episcopal Church erected in it, we have almost exclusive command of the people. These townships have organized as a municipality. The establishment of the second station has had the effect of retarding the srection of the church which was planned lest year ; it has been found necessary to have two churches, and matters are now clear and favourable for such a result. It may be necessary to explain that in the prairie settlements the fixing of sites is a most difficult matter. The tendency to scatter among the settlers in a country where there is a foad in any direction is marvellous and seriously affects rapid advance in the formation of cougregations. It was found necessary on account of the importance of this field to remove Bev. Mr. Donaldson from Headingly and station him at Springfield. This cannot fail to be most advantageous for this locality. Already the Springfield church is under way and will be fit for service by the middle of summer. Sunnyside has also decided on building a charch of its own. Should a year or even two years from now see two churches and two fair congregations in this region, it must be confessed that this will be a rapid development, when it is considered that the settlement is not two years old yet. During the past year the congregation was formed, commilni6n dispensed and a Boll containing nine communicants made out. This congregation has pledged itself to raise 9160 next year and iu all probability this will be exceeded. Headingly. Thi0 station has jnst about held its own during the past year. It has at present no station which can be connected with it ; although a reference to the map will show that it is the nearest point to what is likely to be a good 11 Fettlemeot, " The Boyne." For nine months of tbe pMt year the Rev. Mr. Donaldson has sopplied this congregation and haa paid two visita to tbe Boyne thirty miles away. Akoot New Year it was fonnd neoesgary, as already noted, to remove Mr. Donaldson to Springfield. Since thattimellendingly haa been supplied every Sabbath : although fifteen miles distant from Winnipeg, tbe journey has been made iu all kinds of weather, without a failure. At no time a very hopeful congregation it has maintained its place fairly. Dnriug the past year Sabbath School and tbe regular ordinances have been maintained and the oommunion dispensed. ' Headingly has been charged with the amount deducted from Mr. Donaldson's quarterly salary, and as being in the famine dtHtrict, has probably done its share, at least as well as we have ever yet been able to induce it to do, by raising 975. w i Boyne. As will be seen by the map this is an isolated settlement. Could we occupy it the people are prepared to put up a little church, and we could count on probably the greater part of the settlement. Our plan of supplying it would be to iiave a missionary able to endure hardship stationed at Headingly, to go on alternate Sabbaths to the Boyne, aiul have on that Sabbath Headingly supplied from Winnipeg. As soon as spring opens should the supply of men be great enough, we intend doing what we can fur this district. Poplar Grove, &.c. This is the first of the settlements on the Lake of the Woods road east from Winnipeg. We have during the past winter held service ou a few occasions at this point. From the colporteur of the Bible Society, who is a Kildonan elder and who made a religious census of the new settlements, we learn that there were fifty-one Presbyterians, old and young, in this district last summer, i. c, in the region over some thirty miles. The settlements, of course, are only beginning. 'This region, lying as it does on the Dawson route and on tbe probable line of one of tbe firHt branches of the Canadian Pacific, will soon be filled with settlers. All that we can do for this region must Ufe from Winnipeg for some time, unless we can have an itinerant missionary employed. , . <.' l^ V,', '. Portage La Prairie, High Bluff, and Burnside. These three points have all been under the care of the Bev. Mr. Mathieson. There has been a good detl of development in this field, particularly in the western part of it. Poplar Point, where we have a few people, has been occasionally supplied. ,j«xi ai- n^j ,',^^iK.i High Bluff is a good, station : has spent a considerable amount upon its church and mame combined, and will, it is hoped, have them ready for occupancy during the present summer. A grant from the Building Fund has been made to this congregation. This congregation has a glebe of some fifty acres. The missionary supplies this Bt%tion fortnightly. Portage La Prairie. This congregation is not veiy large, but worships in its own church, and has service every Sabbath : it is an important point and has a new settlement rising a few miles north of it. Bumtide, though the newest, is tbe strongest station of this gronp : it has developed very much during the year. A ohnreh is now being erected there : the material is mostly upon the ground and tbe application has been made to th* - hnrch Building Fund. r s 1 1 > ft - f I } • t 19 11 f" la this group of stations elders wera elected and the 'whole constituted a congregation. All the elders (6) elected have not accepted, but last week thoso who did were ordained and inducted, and the first session in Mr western district thus organized, the first of many more to be. An application for a division of this exCeusive field was made at last meeting of Presbjrtery and a depatatiou consisting of Messrs. Bobertson and Frazer was appointed to visit them, with explicit instructions that unless the field contributed largely in excess of present amounts we could not afford them another missionary. During the past year the amount to be raised by this group of stations was §270, and this has been deducted from the salary of their missionary in his quarterly payments. The deputation appointed to visit these stations has just returned, and reports encouraging things, viz.: tbat the group of stations will raise at least 9600 during the coming yoar. At next meeting of Presbytery we hope the field may be divided, &B it ia very extensive for one missionary. i ■1 m III [I '1 !l it Palestine, Pine Creek, and and Crossing (White Mud.) In this region Rev. Mr. McNabb was laboring successfully until poor health compelled him to resign. After his removal, with the exception of two Sabbaths' preaching, we were unable to give this region any supply until the coming of Rev. Mr. Robertson in January. The Home Mission Committee, in oider that Knox church might have an opportmnitj of hearing the Rev. Dr. Clarke, who had been supplying Knox church for about a month before Mr. Robertson's arrival, sent the latter gentleman west for five weeks. Mr. Robertson with great energy aud acceptance visited the field, encouraged the people and brought down to tha Presbytery a petition signed by nearly ninety persons praying to be organized into a supplemented congregation. This settlement of thirty scattered families are willing to contribute about 8325 in the first year and wish to call a minister, which the Presbytery encouraged them to do. From what has been said in regard to this western district the Committee may see that a wy is opening up for us of getting congregations out of the leading-strings of being mission stations, and of encouraging them to move towards supporting their own ministers. We shall, we trust, be able in the coming year to get several congregations on their own, feet in this way. ...

It has req^'ed much perseverance and patiencfi with some of them, but matters are lookmg favourable now. It would not bo just to pass without notice Rev. Mr. Robertson, in this oonseotion, who has in the few weeks of his visit west done invaluable service. i't.S ijlf- In order to accomplish these ends we need more men : and if we succeed there can be no doubt that mucii advancement will result. As before urged by the Presbytery, we need three more missionaries, and wiU. we trust, be able to sustain at least two of them, with our increased contributions, on a sum not greater than that drawn from the Fund during the year new closing. ?18 Educational Work. ',-.t*ri Oar College Board and Senate will report fiilly to the A'ssemblj. We may merely advert to the College work. Prosperity has been again vonchsafed to us : thirty-four students have this season been entered on the roll, rnd the work done has been the most satisfaotory in the history of the College. Onr differences of opinion in regard to the site of the College have not injured it at all, and tiie removal, should the Assembly so decide, will take place under the most favourable auspices. Onr Ladies^ School (not in formal connection with the Church) has also been very successful. There have been in attendance thirty pupils this year. Fees from it will reach nearly $1000 this year ; but our expenditure in beginning, lipeping up, and paying teachers' salaries (over $600 for salaries alone) is heavy: we have to acknowledge gratefully assistance sent us from home. The religious census of pupils in attendance has been : Presbyterians, ten ; Boman Catholics, tea ; Church of England, seven ; Wesleyans, three. Not only have we reclaimed most of the Protestant girls from the Nun's School, but it will be observed we have carried the war into the enemy's country. We insert a paragraph from the leading paper of the country, for last week, conducted by one not connected with us at all, and showing the public sentiment. It says: . ... . .,,,., " ' Manitoba College,' under the auspices of the Presbytery, located at Xildonan, four miles from Winnipeg, might be rated with the best Ontario riigh Schools, or even Upper Canada College, of Toronto, It prepares students for matriculation and though but three years in existence, is doing a large amount of work. The fees are very reasonable. ' W'nnipeg Ladies' School ' is an incorporated institution founded by the Presbyterian Church, and provides a superior education, embracing, besides the more solid branches, all the modern accomplishments." ;,i;,t It ym t'A nvji^t ' "* v (««^i^' '^ti JmtnJo s8«; Building ClTjrches During the Year. it?.;sq fcmi,| e*i/, 1 , .«; *v , Knox Church has been again enlarged. - .

Knox Church, Winnipeg, has not yet received its title though occupancy before the transfer ensures us pospcssion, and we hope within three months to have our limits defined— an important matter as the lend on wb'ch the church Atands is worth from $3000 to $5000 per acre. At Headingly we havo tnken the necfssory pteps ; at High Bluff we have made our sworn affidavit. At Portage La Prair* our church is bnili' on a sr 111 lot, for which we have made application. It is a (liKpttted claim, btit we are likely to hold our own. At Palestine the young and spirited congregation has under contemplation the buying of the McNabb property of 16C . ores, with a house on it.

We are grateful to your committee for the grant of $200 per annum to Prof. Hart, although it is but a small recompense for the serrice rendered. Prof. Hart has endeared himself to us all. His services in the College have been invaluable ; and his regular and willing help in the mission stations has given us every reason to be satisfied with the arrangements made. Whatever the state of the union question after the Assembly, we trust we may still work together in the common ground of the College ; believing that should the union not be consummated at once, it is at least certain within a few years. ^ v^ \ -I « The Bev. Dr. Clarke, the second missionary of this church, arrived in this Province in the middle of December, 1873. As there was no minister to supply Knox church, Winnipeg, though another had before this been sent for, Dr. Clarke supplied the congregation for two months and a half. Our cordial thanks are due for tbo service rendered at such a necessitous time. Dr. Clarke has been sent for a few weeks to Little Britain, to supply the place of Rev. Mr. Frazer, who has gone for the meantime to Palestine. From the foregoing it is evident that there has been a great ontward advance during the year. We regret not being able to do more for the Home Mission Fund ; but the unfortunate failure of the crops is our reason. As already stated, the prospects of next year are good. We need a greater outpouring of Ood's spirit, for amidst our church building and rapid advance we feel a great tendency in ourselves to realize more the seen than the unseen, the temporal rather than the eternal. Brethren, pray more for the missiom of the Church. We pledge ourselves to do our utmost to be as independent as the circumstances in which wo are placed permit, and our cry is still for more men. In reference to oitr work in Manitoba, the Home Mission Committee at its last meeting agreed to recommend to the General Assembly : 1. That the salaries of Missionaries be 9900 per annum for married men, and 8700 for unmarried men, to take effect on Ist October, 1874. 2. That the Home Mission Committee be hereafter relieved of the support of Manitoba College. ^i^\ 1 1 The Rev. E. Vincent, who has resigned Lis connection with the Saskatchewan Mission, has been engaged for one year, from the first of April, to labor in Mani- toba. His salary up to the first of July is assumed by the Foreign Missioa Committee. , Messers. McKellar-and Currie, students of the third year of Knox College, have also been sent to labor in the Province, by the Students' Missionary Society, during the present summer. These welcome additions to our staff will enable the Presby- tery to enter new fields, where large numbers of emigrants are taking up land and forming settlements. Your Committee at its meeting in October, on the recommendation of the Presbytery of Manitoba, voted the cum of 9100 to Professor Hart, as a small recognition of his services in misaion work iuring the former year, and further agreed to give him at the rate of $200 per a'^jum while engaged in such work. Mr. Hart has rendered efficient service to our church, and co-operated most heartily in our efforts to establish ordinances in the more remote sections of the Province. Tonr Committee, at the meeting in October, passed a resolntioo, " Beqairing the Presbytery of Manitoba hereafter to refuse the resignation of any Missionary, until the Committee has been corresponded with and time allowed to .inpply his place." T that til year w weak fts sett Under gathert the pre It may sijfned miles mission a stroiii hithert( I ^;'ii, I I ! 15 Notwithstandiug that the Presbytery of Manitoba remonstrate against such a requirement as infringing upon their rights as a Presbytery, the Committee still adhere to their resolution as essential to the regular supply of ordinaaoea and the very existence of our stations in distant localities of the Province. ' m Your Oommittee, in common with the Presbytery of Manitoba, have again to express their thanks to Joseph McKay, Esq., of Montreal, who has this year, aa last, interested himself in raining a fund to aid in the building of churches. In several cases, a small grant given by the Presbytery under certain special conditions, has stimulated the people t(Arect churches, which otherwise would have been iudefinitly postponed. The Grant of 1200 promised by the Irish Church toward Mr. Donaldson's salary, has not been reoeived for the present year. The Free Church of Scotland has, however, generously sent 9500 towards our work in Manitoba. The latter has been duly acknowledged, and the convener is in correspondence with the Irish Church regarding the former. ; Si * LAKE SUPERIOR REGION. The stations in the Lake Superior district were supplied during the last summer by students sent by the Missionary Society of Knox College. Mr. Bennelson was stationed at Sanlt St. Marie ; Mr. MoPherson at Silver Islet, and Mr. McKerracher at Prince Arthur's Landing. Your Committee did all in their power to secure permanent supply for the winter months, but failed. They are now at length happy to announce that appointmants for two years, or more, have been made to those important stations. Mr. W. Kay has been appointed to Sault St. Marie ; Mr. D. J. Caswell to Silver Islet ; and Mr. D. McKerracher to Prince Arthur's Landing. Mr. Kay and Mr. Caswell have been ordained and have left for their fields of labor. Mr. McKerracher follows in July. In the meanwhile Mr. P. Nicol supples Prince Arthur's Landing until the arrival of Mr. McKerracher. MUSKOKA. The Muskoka diotrict, under the care of the Presbytery of Simcoe, has been successfully worked, during the past year, by Mr. Marples, assisted by Probationers and students, and the members of the Presbytery. A new church building in Bracebridge has been commenced ; another one at Monk is in progress, and a third at South Falls has been completed. The Subscriptions promised in laud or money towards church building in these districts, amounts to 93,122.50. A further appeal to aid these necessitous districts in this commendable work, is now being made through the Synod of Toronto. Presbytery of Toronto. The Convener of tbc Home Mission Committe of the Preshybery of Toronto reports that the work has been carried on within the bounds of the Pre»b)rtery during the year \vith about the same success as in former years. Several of the stations continue weak and have not sensibly advanced towards the point where they could take rank as settled charges. Aurora and Newmarket form an exception in this respect. Under the able and self-denying labours nf Mr. Bruce a good congregation haa been gathered in the former villace and a comfortable church erected , and it is hoped that the present season will see the same work accomplished in ttie case of Newmarket. It may be noted that the Presbytery received at its meeting in March a numerously sij^ned pecition for supply from residents in and around Queensville, a village a few miles to the north-east of Newmarket. It is tra soon to speak of results, but a missionary haa been sent and the prospects are very encoui aging for the formation of a strong congregation in a district from which our branch of the Church haa be«n hitherto abut out. ■••#n" i_. I I 16 Perhaps the most important feature in the H. M. work of this Presbytery during the year has been the erection of a church and the formation of a new con^'regation in the north-west of the city. The district enjoyed the labours of Mr. Scrimger during the summer of 1673, but the work was hindered by the want of a HuitiibTe pl.ice to worship in, imtil the fall of the year, when a commodious frame church was opened. The services were conducted and the work carried on during the winter by Knox College Students'.Missionarj' Society. A congregation has now b^en organized with a communion roll of thirty-six. This mission has been conducted hitherto without any expense to the Assembly's Committee, the congregation of Gould St. having supplied the necessary means. Sabbath evening service and Sabbath-school work is still carried on in Duche^l St. by Knox Church, and in Davenport by Charles St., with much the same success as last year. In Sherbourne St. a successful Sabbath-school is in operation, v.nder the care of the session of Gould St., and another in Caer Howel St. undtr the auspices of the Y. SI. Christian Association of the same church. Presbytery of Montreal, .f.-.f if II •' Ji 1! Tkc Pr€>oi-tance from the extensive manufacturing of sciuar* timber and Haw 1o<,'b more than in its richness in fertility of soil, or mineral resources, as far as yet ascertained. The permanent ]>ortion of the population that claim the special attention of the Church are sixty Protestant families, and the floating ijopulation engo^^ed in the trafKc number many thousands, of every nationality, and of every grade of education and intelligence. The field is farther important from its being a probable hii;rhway to the West, and the already rising importance of Mattawan, imrveyed by the Ontario (iovernnient as a village, and to be the future depot for the lumbering opera- tions beyond. Arrangements are in progress for building a church at this ix)int. The bulk of the commercial interest of the field and the executive administration of the business is in the Dossessioii and trust of Presbyterians, therefore, the oar is at our hand if we will but work it. If not, others are eagerly watching the favourable opportunity. , ^; ^ ^ ; ... 1 The Work. V* U. \j This field is wrought in summer by being divided into throe preaching stations, viz. : Point Alexander, Des Joachim, and iVtattawan, with an occasional visit at other points, as Chalk Ri >er, Hamilton depot on the Dos Moine Iliver, and Kockcliif ou the Ottawa. The attendance in no place exceeding forty. All the families have been visited at least once, those nearest the stations more frequently.

STUDENTS' MISSIONARY SOCIETY, REPORT OF KNOX COLLEGE H I lEwi rJ'll Mission Fields— Summer of 1873. , "; " * ,. . I.— Penetanodishene, *c. This has been one of the oldest of the Society's mission fields. It is very extensive consisting as it does of .five preaching stations. Up to the last year all the work was performed by one missionary. But owing to the extent of the field it was then found necessary to send two. Accordingly tho field wiu divided into ««»( GaoTip I — Consists of Penetangnishono, Vint's Settlement and Midland. Services were held every Sabbath in each of thesfe places. Attendance->-at Vint'd Settlement, about 30 ; at Penetanguishene, from 35 to 40 ; at Midland, at first very small, but it soon increased to 40. Sabbath Schools were also held at each of these stations, and also at the Reformatory, \Kliich is connected with the group. Religious instruction was also given to the Presbyterian boys at the latter inntitu- tion. Three times during the summer the missionary visited Muskosh Mills, where the attendance was about 30, and where the peoplo were very destitute of the means of grace inasmuch as these three were the only missionary visits they received during the whole year. Subscriptions to the Society-'— Penetanguishene, 9130.85 ; Vint's Settlement, $84 ; Midland, 921.25 ; Muskosh Mills, 910 : at Christmas 9*^0 was received from the Reformatory ; and 96 from Vint's Settlement. Total, 9230.10. ^ Qbocp II— Comprises Weybridge and McBae Settlement, which are ten miles apart. Services were held every Sabbath in the Village of Weybridge, with an attendance of from 50 to 80; and, on alternate Sabbaths, at the two statioun in MoRae Settlement ; the attendance at the school house in Tiny being from 30 to 50, and at the Orange Hall in Floss from 50 to 80. A prayer meeting was held every week, and Sabbath Schools were carried on. Amount subscribed was 9134.54 ; collected in summer, 973.77 ; and at Christmas, 936.52. Total collected, 9110.2'J. Th« sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed by the Rev. Mr. Craw to 29 communicants, at Weybridge, and 23 at Penetanguishene. , ' ,, ..7 ■■; ;i.ii;' -.,-■■ The people in these two groups are very desirous of having a pastor perman- ently settled over them. With this end in view the Society have agreed to leave the whole field to Itself under the care of the Simcoe Presbytery. 2. — WaUBADSHENE AMD PoBT SeVEBN, WITH StUBQEON BaT. This is chiefly a lumbering district, and being on the line of the new Midiatid Railway is likely to become one of importance. The Sabbath work of the mis- sionary consisted in preaching and superintending a Sabbath School at Port Severn and Waubausheue, and preaching every alternative Sabbath at Sturgeon 19 Bay. Prayer meetings were conducted during the week. Sibbnth attendanctt : — At Port Severn, from 80 to 4U, and at Waubauahene, from $0 to 70. Owing to the nature of the district the population is very fluctuating. Hence missionary labor is muoli required and at the same time somewhat difficult. Rtill contributions to tho Society are liberal. Amount collected at Waubaushene, 990.46 ; at Port Severn; $r)6.25; at Sturgeon Bay, 920 ; from Messrs. Dodge & Co., 970 for board. Total, 9246.60. Tho sacraments were administered by Bev. John Gray, of Orilia, who organized the congregation. 4— Parry Sound District. • Here there are eight stations at which the missionary labored— six of them receiving supply on Sabbath and tho remaining two on week days. At lifoKellar Falls tho attendance was from 45 to GO; at Blair Settlement, from 40 to 46. The other places, such as Parry Sound village, the Junction and White Stone Lake were also pretty well attended. In all these points there is considerable interest taken in religious matters. The population also is rapidly increasing. The field is, therefore, very necessitous. There is, however, every reason to believe that if it were regularly supplied it would soon become self-sustaining. The amount raised was 980.48. .,,,,,. 5— Majjixoulin Islamo. 'Hi'' .. .1 ( > II iti *l /?(.•« <•, •I vll A/' J The district in which the missionary labored comprised an extent of 40 miles along three of the Government roads on tho Island. The mission was begun only two years ago, and the progress of the work has been gratifying. In the former year four stations were opened ; last year two new ones were taken up. Hence there lire BIX places of labor. Occaciona] services were held (in a barn) at South Bay, with an attendance of from 60 to 90 ; also, at Jono's Settlement, Michael Bay, Providenco Bay, Manitowing village (likely to be a place of importance,) and at FoH^il Hill. In each of these places the p.ttcudance wiik eucoura(;ing. In the whole ilistrict there aro about 80 Protestant families. The Indians, who are numerous, being almost entirely Boman Catholics. Tho pupulatiou is rapidly increasing. In addition to preaching, conducting Sabbath Schools, &c., tho missionary succeeded in putting a stop to much Sabbath profanation. Tho total amount collected was $123.50. 6— MUSKOKA. ■AV The district occupied by the missionary was a very extensive, though thinly inhabited one.

Tho Communion was dispensed lit Port Carling ami Muskoku by tho Bev. J. Marples, of Brncebridge. The wholo district is important being as it is a favorito plncu of resort for summer tourists. The population also, thoughrat present thin, is rapidly increasing. A better division of tho miRsioii field is expected to bo luadn in tho future. Collected in the field : ^riO.t).!.

Mamie, &c. ^ . > n >• ov • This is a most important position — at the Capioru terminus of Lake Superior, and by which all vessels to and from the North West must pass. There are two Rtatious where Sabbath services were held, one at the Sault village and the other iivo miles distant in tho Township of Korah. Services were conducted twice each Sabbath in tho village, with an attendance in the morning of from !.'> to 25, and in tho evening from H.'i to 4.') ; and once every Sabbath in Korah, with an attendance of from 2.5 to 40. Bruce Mines (fifty miles east of tho Sault) received in former years occasional supply, but owing to the distance and the deterioration of the place it was abandoned last year. The whole district has been long tinder the care of the If.;* :i^:i: ^i Mil ili 90 Society, but tbo progress of the work bas not been enoouragiug. Tbongb earnest and fMthfnl efforta have been put forth by the missionaries, yet the work of tbe summer appears to bav9 been undone in the absence of a missionary during the winter. Hence it is denifable thai a permanent rainister bo sfint. With this end in view the fief^ has been given over to the Home Mission Cbmmittee. Owing to tbe improvements in the present place of .worship, and the purchase of a lot on which to build a new church, the contribution of the Society was not bo large as it would otherwise have been. The total amount was 9104. 8,— SiLVKK IsiiET. ., This important point (at the N. W. of T,. iSuporior, and not far from Thunder Bay) is a new station taken up by the Society. It is a peciiHar one. The -Island, from whVch the place derives both name and support, wad when discovered a little rock, seventy feet by tliirty, projecting above the water, and about three quarters of A mile distant from the shore. Idit it has been greatly enlarged and heantihed ; and is now, in fact, a little conip.irt village on the water. The ininers nearly all board on Island ; but the majority ot the ptople reside in the village on shore. All the Kroperty, both at the Island and on nhuru, bulonii;s to the Coiupany. A neat frame uilding serves the purposes both of chiirch and school. The Presbyterians (who are far more numerous than any other I'roteslant denomination) were very glad that a missionary had been sent to them. There is no other station within reach. The attendance in the morning was from 20 to 40 ; and in the evnin^ from 80 to 100. The contribution to the Society was $251.1.5. In addition to this, the missionary received a valuable present from the Sabbath-school, liike Knult Ste. Marie this station has also been committed to the cafe of H, M. O.. which hAH already advertised for ministers and probationers to volunteer their servicrs in thcRe important districts. Owing to ihe flnctuating nature of the population in both these idaces during the summer, by far the best period for miasionary labour is the winter season. 9.— North Hastings. ■ --fo, • ,.'!•■ ■ As in former years two missionaries w«re sent to this district. It is divided into two groups. Groupl. comprifes three statiors : the Upper and Lower School-houses in Carlow, and Crayton's Settlement lUspective attendances : 90, 70, and 20. Stepg were taken to erect a church in Carlow ; and before the missionary left ^750.00 was subscribed for that purpose. The amount subscribed for the Society was J163.00 ; paid «G8,40. .Group 2. comprises five stations ; Maynooth, with an attendance of from 60 to 70; Fiss' Settlement, attendance 00 ; Kernigan's Settlement, attendance 65,; Wick- low and Harcourt ; amount subscribed, i$12j.00; paid, $09.90. Much good, by the blessing of God, appears to have resulted from the labours of the missionaries in this extensive and important district. Sabbath-schools ami prayer-meetings were conducted at most of the stations. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed at Maynooth by the l^ev. Mr. Scott of Napanee ; and at Carlow, by the Rer. Mr. Burton, of Belleville. It was expected that an ordained missionery would ere now have been settled over this field ; but as that very desirable end has not yet been attained the people liave requested the Society to continue the supply.

The attendance at Bearbrooke varied Ironi 50 to \)0. and at South Indian from ^^O to (50. The services of the missionarj' were very acceptable. Owing, however, to the proximity d the field to the Students' MisRionary Society at Montreal it has been deemed a«lviBable not to send a ndssionary there this summer. The. amount collected was *58.07. 11.— SOMBRA, ON ElVER St. CtAIH. This field was entered upon just two years ago.

An arrangement was ahn made with the members of the Simcoe Presbytery whereby t-upply was i^iven to lln' three latter lields for two additional Sabbaths during the KeHbion. I'hu repoitb of the mi.s3ionari<«B were very encouraging. During the whole se.'^sioii, however, the members of the Society labored in four miBsion stations in the C'ity ot Toronto with very encotirafing success, especially in two of them— Duchess Street and Colle>;e Street- which, thougli liegun two years ago, are now looking f»)r pern).-inent minist'ers. D.ivenport miHpion continues as prosperous as might be exjieeted from tin- iiaturt' of the field. In St. John's Ward, owing to the prevalence if huijiIIvov, little" visitiDij was done ; couBequently, the attendauce has been rather discourai^ing. All Ihe necessary expenseH connected with these stations were defrayed by theeongrei^.ations of the Ciky. A few of the members of the Society were ai)poin1ed to visit the patients in the Hospital; and a few others to give religumn instruction every Sabbath morninj^ to the numerous prisoners in the Jail. ?i|'M ' t I ♦ ' Mission Fields for Sunfimcr 1874.

The scheme proposed by the Committee and adopted by last General Assembly , with a view to the more effective working of supplemented congregations has met with gratifying success during the past year. In the great majority of cases, the congregations have come up to the standard demanded, thus ensuring a continuance • if the Home Mission grant, and adding to the greater comfort, of the minister. In tlio case of a few, whore, for ditt'erent reasons, measures had not been taken to bring the matter before the congregation, or where the congregations promi: ed to come up to the requirements of the Committee before next meeting, the grants have been continued, the fact being reported to the Assembly. The Committee, during the year, have prepared and issued new scheduks for the half-yearly and yearly returns of Mission stations and supplemented congrega- tions. The punctual return of iiieso papers to the Convener or Clerk of the Committee, would very much simplify the work and expedite the printing of the annual report. The Committee, at its meeting in April, agreed to recommend to the Assembly. 1. That the allowance to students for summer work be increased to ^6 per Sabbath, together with board and travelling expenses, to their lields of labor. 2. That tho romunoration to proBationera supplying vaco'oies, be in no case leas than $7, with board, and that this amount be increased grsanally in proportion to tho stipend paid by the respective congregations before they became vacant. The Committee have to not/co with deflln regret tho loss sustained by the removal of the Rev. Dr. Water.-^ to St. Johns, New Brunswick. For many years Dr. Waters inost efficiently porforn>:\l tho duti's of Clerk to the Committee, and in every way possible co-operated for tho extension of our Homo Miapion work. In the appendices to the report will be found a table containing the names of the Mission Stations and supiilemeutetl con^'regations, as reimrted by the several Presbyteries. Also, lints of the Ministers, J^ay Catechiats, liicentiates and Theo- logical Students at present imder the .lirection of the Committee. Your Convener gratefully makes mention of the assistance rendered him by Mr. R. H. Warden in the compilation of the statistics. Should any inaccuracies he found, the blame rests to a great extent with Presbyteries, whose returns in many cases are incomplete, and in others delayed until within a few days of the meeting of Assembly.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATISTICS. 53 To the Oeneral Assembly of the Canada PresbyUrian Church : In presenting their Report to your Venenible Assembly, your Committee feel themselves called on, in the first place, to exjjress their sense of the loss sustained through the translation of Dr. Waters, who 1ms been for so many years Convener, and upon whom has devolved the preparation of the Annual Report for a long Esriod, from his pastoral charge in this Province to the citv of bt. John, New runswick. Dr. Waters was one specially (pialified for such work, and the ac- quaintance which he had acquired with the state and working of the Church, as brought under his attention fioin year to year of his couvenenship, by the returns of Congregational statistics and Financial Statements, gave hi n a facility in dealing with the subject, rendering the service lighter to him than it can possibly be to one attempting it for the first time. The Committee feel it due to him and to themselves thus to put in the very commencement of their present Report this acknowledgment of Dr. Waters' worth and ability. Owing to other cinuimstances, to which it is unnecessary to allude except in the most general manner, the person by whom this Report has been prepared has not been able to present it in a form satisfactory to himself, nor, it is feared, doing full justice to the Church. A carefully prepared Report from full and accurate Returns is necessary to a full and proper understanding of the progress, position and influence of the Canada Presbyterian Church. Your Committee would have been highly gratified had they been able to lay such upon your table ; but having failed in this, they must express the hope that soon, even next year, there may bo furnished, what has never yet been supplied, complete returns, consistent in all their parts, from every Congregation, whether with or without a settled pastor, and Mission Station of the Canada Presbyterian Church. While deeming it their duty to make this remark, and to hold out such au object as not only desirable but attainable, they would speak with pleasure of the neat and finished state of some of the returns they have received, owing, beyond all question, in a considerable degree to the pains taken by the Clerks of Presby- teries from "hich they have come, and of the promptitude with which they have been forwarded, z.. as to be in hands close upon the time assigned in the blank forms furnished. STATISTICS. According to the Reports received, the number of Ministers on the rolls of Presbyteries is 329. Last year thd number returned was 315, thus showing an increase of 14, and an increase of 22 over the year immediately preceding that. Evidence is thus presented that the Lord of the harvest is answering the prayer of his disciples to send forth labourers into His harvest. Some of these, more than in some former years, have come from the Church in Britain, others have been trained in the halls of our own institutions. May they all prove workmen not needing to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The number of Regular Charges is reported to be [645, an increase of 12 over the number reported last year ; and in connection with these there are 48 Stations (2 fewer than last year) receiving supply of the gospel, but not foiming part of the regular ])astorate. In the Report of your Committee for 1871-72 there was an increase of these stations amounting to 12 ov'er that if the prior year. In the Report for 1872-73 there was a decrease of 20. This year shows a further slight falling off. The Vacancies are returned as 78, and the Mission Stations at 37, au increase of the former of 11 over the previous year, while that year showed an increase of 14 over the one immediately preceding, and that again of 5 over 1870-71. It will thus be seen that there is still a wide door and effectual set open to the Church by her King and Head, while the Mission Stations may soon, through the blessing from on high, rank among vacancies calling for pastors to take the oversight of them in the Lord. • wm ,' v^ IriM-^ A 04 APPENDIX. The number of Famimes connected witli the Church is retunied as 27,918, only 671 inori' than last year, not taking into n(!connt the allowance niiuh' for nou- rt'iiorting setthid coiigrenationH ; but that tlie inciensc haa been conttiderably greater we may wairantaltly conclude from the fact that some of the congregations which gave the number of families belonging to tln'm last year liave not given thorn tliis year. Proceeding 6n the 8Hsunii»tion tlint each family contains on an average five persons — the assumption adopted in some of the previous {{cports of your Uommittee — it may be aifinued that upwards of 140,000 jtersons, young and old, are under the pastoral oversight of a stated ministry, or enjoy such occasional means of grace as Presbyteries are able to atford. SiNOLE Persons not connected with congregations number 4,175. It might be expected that these would be found in the Rcj)orts of Congiegations in the larger towns and cities, and reference to the Statistical Tables will show that this is tlie case. Your Committee has still reason — and for this tlu-y would express their tlinnk- fulness to the Kedeemer of His people — to congratulate the A.ssembly on the increase of Communicants, tlie number this year being given at 49,315, apj)arently less, it is true, than the numbers reported for either of tlie previous years, but actually greater when account is made of the congregations Irom which reports liave not been received at all, or wliich Imve not made any entry in the column designed for such information. In confirmation that there is an increase, a refer- ence to the Tables sliows that 5,847 have been added to the Church in the course of the year ; of these, 2,924 on their own profes.sion of their faith in Christ, and the diminution has been 3,533, thus leaving a gain of 2,314, or 141 more than last year. Of the Bai'TIsms, amounting to 4,703, those of adults were 123, and of chil- dren 4,580, being 122 fewer than those reported last year. Of the numbers in Religious Classes, 34,267 are in Sabbath Schools, and 9,269 in Bible Classes. Elders are reported at 1,987 ; other OFFicE-BEAREita at 3,091 ; and Sab- bath School Teachers at 4,094, giving an average of between eight and nine scholars to each teacher. The aggregate Volumes in Libraries amount to 98,189, and of these 86,658 belong to Sabbatli Seliools. Sittings in Church add up to 141,190, an increase over those of last year. Missionary Associations rej)orted 163, or one less than for the previous year. Forty Churches and twenty Manses have been built or repaired during the year. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Taking next the "Financial Statements" forwarded by Presbyteries, and collecting the aggi-egates, we have the following results : The Stipend promised was $229,885, and the amount actually paid was $232,564.75, an increase of $2,679.75, and an increase over the amount paid last year of $11,283. 01. This gives each Ministers an average of $700 on the whole sum paid, but last year the average was $702. It is pleasing to observe that, on the whole, the Church is improving in the matter of ministerial support, although there is great room yet for advancement in that direction. A glance at the Returns from Congregations will show that in some instances a most inadequate remunera- tion is paid; and your Committee cannot but think that if Presbyteries would deal with these as they should, they would be awakened to a sense of their duty, and communicate in all good things as the Lord has prospered them for the support of those by whom they are taught in the Word. APPENDIX. 05 It IS painful to have to stnto that therfi is an I'ncrpase of Arurars ok Stm'Rnd over the amount rciiorttxl last year, the entire Hum being $4,301. Mtt. It is had to huvy .such an entry at all, it is worao to hear of it.s inereaHo. And it i.sto tit- feared that the facts are worse than figures, for the Committee have simply colU'cted the arrears reported without correcting discrepancies between tlie columns in congre- gational returns headed "Stipend Promised" and "Stipend Paid." In the case of some thesi- arrears must be of more than one year's standing, as the report of stipend paid for 1873-74 is in excess of stipend ]>romised. The only l'rcsl)yteries in which there are no arrears are Kingston, Hamilton, Pari.s, Chatham and Huron — five out of ninetiien. Passing to the amount raised for building CuiMiniEH and Manheh, we find the large sum of .i(ir)r»,87t5.ft7, somewhat less than the amount raised for the same purjioHc last year, but still i)roving that the i>eople are exerting themselveu to provide coinfortalde editices in whitiii to worship the God of their fathers, or for those who minister to them in word and ordinance. Other expenditure for strictly congregational purposes has been $89, 540. 27» and the total contributed for Stip(;nd, Church and Manse l)uilding and the pur- pose just mentioned, was 1477,981.99, or an increase over the sum raised for the same objects la.st year of $14, 591. ()6. Taking the clear gain in the membership of the Church to be 2,314, this would give an average of about $6 to each. The total amount contrii)uted for, the S(;heme.s ok the Church has been $55,155.29^, a considerable failing off from last year. This sum is made up as follows: — For the Coi;LE(iE Fund, $11,972.17; for the Home Mission Fund, $17,484.25 ; for the Foueiun Mlssion Fund, $8,711,684 ; for the Widows and Orphans', Aoed and Infirm Ministers' Fund, J3,836.37 ; for the Assembly Fund, $2,966.80^; for French Evangelization, $4,073.05; for the Kankakee Mission, $2,148,98. The contributions from Sabbath Schools for Missionary purposes were $4,428.69. On the following Schemes the returns show an increase to a smaller or larger amount over the contributions reported last year : Foreign Missions, Widows and Oi-phans', &c., Assembly Fund, Sabbath School ; on all the others there is a decrease. A column had been added to the blank forms prepared for the purpose of ascertaining the amount raised for College Buildings, and the returns give $28,645.49. If we suppose that the .sum raised in the Synod of Montreal went towards the building of the Presbyterian College in the city of Montreal, and which amounts to $18,127.61, there would remain for Knox College $15,517.88, But there is evidently some mistake in the division thus made, or in the reports given in, or it may be in both, as the statement of the Treasurer of the Church, in the May number of the Home ami Foreign Record, gives the amount received for the new College building in Toronto as $24,569.16. Under the heading " Benevolent objects not otherwise specified," $24,448.20 have been reported.! Total contributions for all purposes amount to $585,899.91, or an increase over the sum reported last j'eai of $34,998.19. One hundred and ninety-six congregations, or twenty more than last year, report Manses for their Ministers, and three rented houses. SUMMARY.

Tables have been prepared from the congregational returns giving a summary according to Presbyteries and Synods of the Statistical Reports and Financial Statements. To the Table of Averages colnmns have been added showing the amount con- tributed per family as well as per communicant, for each pui-pose. It was thought only proper to do so, because in some Presbyteries the number of families is large in proportion to the number of communicants as compared with others, and it is by rate per family thai, some Presbyteries, if not all, raise their funds for local purposes, and that the General Assembly assesses for the expenses of its meetings. A perusal of this Table is suggestive of jome gratifying reflections, and of others of an opposite character. The Presbytery standing highest in average con- tribution per family for stipend paid is that of Hamilton, $13.15 ; the next that of Ontario, $10.45 ; the third, Paris, $9.95;,and the fourth, Chatham, $9.78; while the four lowest are Manitoba, Stratford, Durham and Bruce. The four Presbyteries raising most liberally per communicant for stipend are Chatham, $6.45 ; Kingston; $6.03 ; Cobourg, $5.71 ; and Toronto, $5.30 ; and the four lowest are Stratford, Guelph, Huron and Durham. For Schemes of the Church, Hamilton, Montreal, Toronto and C'.tario contribute most largely per family, and Bruce, Durham, Owen Sound and Manitoba give least, while Montreal, To- ronto, Ontario and Kingston give most liberally per communicant, and Guelph, Dui'ham, Manitoba and Owen Sound least so. For all purposes the Presbyteries of Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal stand highest, and those of Strat- ford, Huron, Owen Sound and Durham lowest; per family, and Ottawa, Bruce, Toronto and Manitoba highest, and Guelph, Owen Sound, Huron and Durham lowest per communicant. It will be seen that for the puq)oses mentioned Ham- ilton stands first in average contribution per family, as it does also for congrega- tional puriioses. It must be acknowledged too that tlie distant Presbytery of Manitoba, that is strictly speaking Missionary, is exerting itself nobly, and affording promise of greater things at no remote date. Looking at all circum- stances, may it not be said that while some have done well — and the remark must be put in this modified form, for, lookuig at the figures in that Table, it cannot be afhrmed that all have done well — it has excelled them all. Certainly Mani- toba may put to the blush more than one of the Presbyteries of the Province of Ontario. A survey of the whole field presented in this Report calls upon us to thank God,* and entitles us to take courage. God hcs done great things for us, whereof we are glad. May He continue to grant peace within the walls and prosperity within the palaces of our beloved Zion. RECOMMENDATIONS. I. That Presbyteries be enjoined to procure from congregations, and forward, to the Convener of the Committee on Statistics, their annual returns at the dates- specified in the blanks fui'nished. II. That vacant congregations and Mission Stations be required to forward full and accurate reports, as well as those having settled Pastors, and that Pres- byteries see to it that these be sent in. |i ' APPENDIX. 57 III. That Piesbyteries be enjoined to take the earliest opportunity of dealing with those congregations that are in arrears for stipend. ROBERT TORRANCE, Convener. GuELPH, 25th May, 1874. P.S. — Taking account of returns which \,ere too late of being received to be entered in their proper places, we find that the number of regular charges is 650; of families, 28,260 ; of communicants, 50,702; of S. S. pupils, 35,020; of vols, on libraries, 103,707; of sittings in Churches, 143,575, and of missionary associations 1.65. Stepend paid amounted to $237,901.25. Total contributions, for strictly congregational purposes, $103,247 82; for schemes of the Church, $55,994.12^, and for all pui-poses, $619,359.30; an increase over the amount reported last year of $68,457.58. K. T. FOEEIGN MISSION EEPORT. 1873-4. A review of the Foreign Mission work of the Church during the past year calls for humiliation and thankfulness : for humiliation, because a vigorous and prosperous Church has done so little to promote a work so closely identified with the glory of Christ and the salvation of men ; for thankfulness, because a measure of progress has been made, and men and means are now forthcoming to an extent which warrants the Church in taking a decided step in advance. The work among the Red Indians on the Saskatchewan has been carried on during the year under difficulties which indicate that Prince Albert is likely to become a less valuable centre for the evangelization of the aborigines than it was at the time of its first occupation. The Plain Crees, with whom the mission has chiefly to do, are gradually moving farther west after the buffalo, on which they are so largely dependent for food. And the result is that they come less fre- quently and in smaller numbers to the neighbourhood of tfie mission. In order to reach them, the missionary would require to accompany them to ttieir camp- ing grounds on the plains, wliioh are now froc^uently 200 miles distant. The formation recently of a considerable settlement around the mission of whites and half-breeds must also tend to keep the ladiai' at a greater distance. When ground was broken at Prince Albert, it was nearly 400 miles to the nearest settle- ment. Now a very considerable settlement has sprung up around the mission itself. Mr. Nisbet states that there are 44 families and 23 single persons, making a population of 288, which is likely to be largely increased during the present summer by the influx of new settlers. While Prince Albert may therefore be growing less important as a centre of foreign missionary effort, it is daily assum- ing interest as a point from which home missions may yet do a noble work. The unsettled state of the Indians in reference to the manner in which their territorial rights may be dealt with by the Canadian authorities has also exerted an unfa- vourable influence for the time being upon efforts for their good. Notwithstand- ing these difficulties, good work has been done during the year, partly among the white population and partly among the aborigines. Mr. Nisbet writes, " The church is veil filled every Sabbath. We have fort- nightly Sabbath service in the house of one of the settlers six miles west of this, and an occasional service in another's seven miles east, and in each of these sections a fortnightly prayer meeting is held. In the church a Sabbath school, Bibleclass, and weekly lecture are maintained. The ""ommunion was held November 30th, when eleven names were added to the roll. Five of those received were members cf our Church in Ontario and Manitoba, five were connected with trte Bpi )pal Church in this coii'^try, and one was received on examinatioa. There are 44 names on the Communion Roll. There have been 21 baptisms since September, 1872. Of those baptized, three were adult Indians and six were Indian children. There have been two marriages during the same period, one of which was that of an Indian couple. •58 APPENDIX. In i II! The Indians do not come about the miasion to the same extent now as in past years, and when any large number is in the neighbourhood, they usually make their camp about two raues from the mission premises. The Christian In- dians are regiilar in their attendance at Church, but very few of the heathen come to th(; public services ; nevertheless many of them hear a great deal of Christian truth from their. private talks with, Mr. McKay." Mr. Nisbet alsj mentions that there are at present four Indian children, two boys and two girls, under the charge of the mission. During Mr. Nisbet's absence in Canada the charge of the mission devolved entirely on Rev. Edward Vincent, who reached Prince Albert immediately before the senior missionary left for what proved a somewhat lengthened visit to Ontario. The chaugii decided upon last lyeai- by the committvie, involving the abandonment of the farming operations which were necessary in the earlier stages of the work, have been carried out and nearly completed by Messrs. Uisbet and Vincent, and it is hoped that in future they will be found beneficial. Rtrv. Edward Vincent has tendered to the committee his resignation of his position as a missionary to the Indians. His reasons are given at length in a document, in which he presents with clearness and force his views in reference to the present unsettled condition of the country, and the best mode of accomplishing the work which requires to be done among the Indians of the North-west. From the decided conviction wliich Mr. Vincent expressed in reference to his duty to retire from the work, the committee felt themselves under the necessity of accepting his resignation. This was accord- ingly done, and the acceptance will t:ike effect on the 1st July. From the time of his arrival in Manitoba until that date, Mr. Vincent has been instructed to place himself under the direction of the Home Mission Committee. During the year, new ground has been occupied by the appointment of Mr. George Flett to labour among the Indians in the neighbourhood of Fort Pelly. Mr. Flett, on account of his thorough familiarity with the Cree language and acquaintance with Indian habits and modes of thought, has very special adaptation for usefulness in this field of labour. He has been vt-ry highly recommended ti the committee as an earnest and devoted Christian worker. Mr. Flett has received a cordial welcome from the officers of the Hudson Bay Company, and has commenced his labours under favourable auspices. He finds a large number of Indians in the region, but they are much scattered and consequently difficult of access. We hope to hear from time to time good accounts of the labours of this earnest Christian layman. In accordance with the instructions of last Assembly, your committee took steps to select for the young women then reported as preparing tor foreign service, a suitable field, ind to send them to it. After careful inquiry, India was chosen as on the whole the most promising. And as the Canada Presbyterian Church has no missionaries under whose protection and guidance they could labour, it was decided to place them under the control and care of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. The brethren of that Board in the very kindest manner undertook this duty, and aided in every way in their power your committee in carrying out the instructions of last Assembly. Arrangements having been completed. Misses Rodger and Fair- weather sailed in the latter part of October from New York, along with a lady whom the American Presbyterian Board were sending to India, and in due time reached their destination in safety. When last heard from they were at Allahabad, where they had met a cordial welcome from the missionaries of che American Presbyterian Church, and where they were actively engaged in the study of the language. As soon as they are prepared for active service they will find wide doors of usefulness open before them. In Formosa, the year has been one at once of trial and of encouragement to our missionary. The manifest blessing which attended Mr. McKay's labours at the outset of his work has not forsaken him. The succoss which so early crowned Jiis preaching has roused opposition and bitter persecution. Of northern Formosa it may be said that a wide door and effectual is opened, " and there are many .adversaries." Mr, McKay writes, "The enemy ha^ been aroused, and, as of old, APPEDDIX. 59 has bemi active night and day in endeavouring to crash the Lord's work in its beginnings. To accomplish this, mandarins, literati, and soldiers esjiecially, have combined their efforts. In the numerous villages whicli dot tlie country inland, men and women have been beaten and shamefully abused on account of attending service on the Lord's Day. A convert who lives about a mile from here was asked a few months ago to assist in purchasing articles for idol worship. He replied he could not consistently do so, as he no longer bowed before things made by men's hands. An evening or two after, the same party, followed by 30 armed men, went to his dwelling, broke the door, beat his wife, mother and sister, dragged himself about the room, and finally left him for dead. The house of another worshipper at Chiwn-nhi was entered by 40 soldiers, who ransicked the whole place, and snatched an infant from its mother's arms and trampled it to death. At Go-ko- khin, one of the first who cast away tablets and idols was ordered by the owner of the house in which he lived to cease going to the chapel, or else he would drive him out of the house. The convert replied, "You can do that and much more; but to drive me from the true God, you and all your host can never accomplish. " It is truly matter of thankfulness that these men "took joyfully the spoiling of their goods. " It is unnecessary to multiply cases, as I have referred to one in connection with each chapel. The crowds which at first thronged to listen to the preaching of our mission- ary appear to have fallen of. No doubt the sense of novelty had something to do with collecting the multitudes who, for a season, waited on the preaching of your Missionary, but Mr. McKay now states it as his conviction that a large luurber of the Sek-hoan and Chinese had in some way acquired the notion that the gospel was to minister directly to their worldly advantage. In the days of our Lord there were many who followed him "not because they saw his miracles, but because they did eat of the loaves and were filled;" and we need not marvel if the idolaters and ignorant natives of Formosa are found animated with sijnilar motives, nor need we wonder if many of them, when disappointed in their worldly expectations, have gone back to their idols. Amid these trials and discouragements, your missionary has been cheered by the stedfastness and fidelity of the converts and the progress of the Lord's work. In uhe last letter received from him, dated the 17th of February, Mr. McKay writes : " It is now about a year since I admitted five into communion on profes- sion of faith, and I rejoice in being able to state that they have faithfully followed the Lord Jesus and fearlessly testified to the truth unto this day. The only man I brought from the south commemorated the djdng love of Jesus with u"* a year ago. Since that time he has been cruelly murdered and beheaded in the wooils ; his head- less body is yonder by the winding path, but his soul is in the highest heavens with the Lord of Glory. Last Sabbath we observed the Lord's Supper at Go-ko- khin, where the first chapel was erected. There I admitted four old and three young men, who have stedfastly followed the Lord since they first heard the gospel. The five who were admitted last year were present, so that e.xactly twelve nati'-e converts sat around the table of the Lord. In a quiet, retired spot, away from the displays of heathenism and the inquisitive gaze of outsiders, with our usual hearers present, we had a precious communion. I believe the Master was with us. I never enjoyed a sweeter communi( n in America, Scotland, or my dear native laud. Several of the hearers seemed moved, and all a])peared serious and thoughtful during the services. If any heart was touched, if any soul was awakened, to Jehovah alone be the everlasting praise and glory. At a place called San-teng-po, several miles to the east, the people have just completed a small, neat chanel, entirely at their own expense. I told them that if they really wanted to serve the living God, to put their trust in the Lord Jesus, fear neither persecution nor death, and build a house to the Lord. I visited them a few weeks ago, and was delighted to find the parents teaching their children the everlasting gospeh A number of small boys met me on the way, .and all were able to sing our beautiful Chinese hymns ; the very youngest, three years old, could sing. The little girls are kept in dark rooms, and do not appear with their brothers as in western lands. On Sabbath I observed father, sou 60 APPENDIX. grandson and great grandson sitting on a bench together, singing the praises of the Lord. Thus in the midst of opposition and corniption, the Lord is blessing his own work." Mr. McKay adds, in a postscript to his letter, that since writing the above, he had had a glorious meeting in his house at Tnmsui, which he luis to use as a chapel. It is worthy of ndte, as indicative of the '^onverts and tiie hold whicli the truth has taken of them. "The 4th day of tlie first Chinese month is observed by all tlie idolaters, from north to south ami from east to west. It is the day on which they welcome back the spirits. Thit* year it fell on the 20th inst. The converts in the country fled from the displays of the idolaters, and came down the river in junks, and brouglit all their little boys, about the size of Sabbath school children in Canada. My house was crowded from early in tlie morning until late at night. The whole day was spent in explaining the everlast- ing gospel, in singing and praying to the Lord our God. I enjoyed the meeting exceedingly." Mr. McKay expresses great joy at the prospect of the sjieedy arrival of a medical missionary to co-operate with him So strongly has he l)een imjiressed wHth the value of the healing art as a handmaid to the gosjiel, that with the aid of the resident medical man of the English community, he commenced hospital work more than a year ago. The foreign residents of Tanisui also aided liim in the work by liberal oontributions to its support. Mr. McKay regards the hospi- tal as, all things considered, quite successful. Up to the time of his writing 1423 persons had received attendance and heard the Gospel. It is with much pleasure that your conmiittee liave to report that they have secured, subject to the ajiproval of the Assembly, the services of Dr. J. B. Fraser as medical missionary to Formosa, a gentleman whom tliey regard as pos.sessiiig in a very high degree the (lualifications for tlie position. Dr. Fraser is a son of Rev. William Fraser, of Bond Head, one of the honoured clerks of this Assembly. After com])letiiig a full medical course, and jiractising medicine for two years, Dr. Fraser decided to study for the Gospel ministry; and lie has just completed a more than ordinarily successful course of theological study in Knox College. He will be prepaietl to leave Canada for (^'hina with his family some time in autumn. Etlying tull^- on the approval of the Assembly to the steji which they liave taken, your cimimittee have recjuested Dr. Fraser to seizure the requisite outfit for liis work; auu they trust also tliat arrangements may be made for his visiting, prior to his departure for the foreign held, as many as possible of the congregations of the Church. It is the ideasing duty of your committee to repci' tJiat the Foreign Mission is at pres»'Ut in. a satisfactory iK)sition. The receipt^! indicate a growing interest in the work of the evangelization of the heathen, and tiu> balance on hand warrants the Church to go forward more boldly in the work. From the following state- ment of receipts and payments it appears that there has been an incrca.se in the income during th" year as compared with that which preceded it of $1 , .'K)2 06, and that the balance now on hand is *y?i280 69 greater than that which was reported to the la.st Assembly. This state of matters in Xh^' more gratifying', as no hj)eeial means have been employed during the p^ust year u- stimulate the liberality of the Church. It cannot be questioned that with a little additional effort tl '• receipts may be greatly increased. The following is the financial statement for the year : — FOKKIGX MIS.S10N FUND— i^^,■t. 4.

In conclusion, your committee offer for the adoption of the Assembly the following resolutions, viz. : — 1. That the action of the Foreign Mission Committee in appointing Dr. J. B. Eraser as medical missionary to Formosa be cordially approved of. 2. That the Foreign Mission Committee be recommended to select and send forth a third missionary to Formosa as soon as practicable. 3. That any of the presbyteries of the Church to whom application may be made by the Foreign Mission Committee be authorized to ordain Dr. J. B. Eraser and any other missionary selected for Foreign Mission service in accordance with the above resolutions. All which is respectfully submitted. WM. McLaren. Toronto, June, 1874. REPOKT OF THE KANKAKEE MISSION. The extraordinary origin of this mission imparted an interest to it that attracted the attention of the Christian world to the Rev. C. Chiniquy and his great work among the French Canadians settled in the state of Illinois. To see a whole community throwing off the fetters of Rome and claiming it as their right to read God's Word and ajiproach his throne without the mediation of a ' priest or saint, was a grand sight, such as might make angels shout for joy. And the subsequent history of the mission for years was deeply interesting too, as it displayed the st II ig faith and noble courage of the converts, amid all the at- tempts of Rome lo regain her power over them and bring them back to their former bondage. Put fourteen years have calmed the excitement, and brought the congregation of St. Anne with its mission school to take its place side bv side with other congregations in the great work of the Lord. It is not easy for your com- mittee to throw an interest around the mission other than might be found in many of our congregations; still tliey think that the Church will be gratified to learn how it prospers in the Lord. A deputation, consisting of Rev. T. McPherson and the convener of the committee, visited the mission last fall and spent a week there, inquiring irtoits stale and prospects, and giving such counsel and encouragement as they thought would further the cause of Christ. A few extracts from tlieir report will put the Assembly in possession of the facts elicited, and enable them better to understand, what is the present condition of the mission. St. Anne has a population of between 400 and 500, with a thickly peopled country all around. The inhabitants are chiefly French Canadians. When they settled there they were Roman Catholics, but the great majority of liiem now are Protestants. There are in the village four Protestant churches — Episco- palian, Baptist (both very small), American Presbyterian, with 64 families and 133 members, and Mr. Chiniquy's, with 162 families and 353 members. 62 APPENDIX. It will be remembered that the old church and school were burned down a few years ago, but Mr. Chiniquy has succeeded in erecting another building, part of which is used as the church and another part as the school-house. In this church jwe held meetings on live consecutive evenings, with an attendance of from 100 (a rainy night) to 200. On Sabbath the attendance was over 200. It was the Communion Sabbath. Only 80 partook of the Lord's Supper. We were careful in examining the roll of members and families connected with the con- grec;ation. We had a list prepared by a disaffected party in the village, and comparing it with the list furnished by the Clerk of Suasion, we found a substan- tial agreemen*;, shewing 162 families, with a membership of 358. Of course many of them reside at a coHsiderable distance, and can but seldom enjoy pri- vileges. Some years ago the number of families was reported as being consider- ably larger than at [)resent, and we have since been hearing of other families be- ing added to the Cliurch ; we inquired into the apparent discrepancy, and found that while some few families had from various reasons become disaffected and connected themselves elsewhere, yet a very large number had left the bounds of the congregation. We accidentally met a Frenchman from Indiana (who formerly had resided in St. Anne), who was travelling the country on business, and he assured us that around where he now lived there were over 50 families who had at one time lived in St. Anne, but who had emigrated to Indiana ; he knew of some other settlements in the same state where many from St. Anne now lived, but he could not tell the exact number of families. We called on a member of the congregation who was preparing to go west. He told us that his boys had left tor Kansas a few years ago and now he was going to join them. He knew as many as 30 families that had gone from St. Anne or neighbourhood to that same state, who were brought from Kome through Mr. Chinit^uy, and who were now living in their new home as Protestants. Emigration will thus easily account for the difference between the numbers now and some years ago. We believe that this emigration will continue, for as the children grow up they want more land and they musk seek for it where land is cheaper, and the crops more certain than they seem to be in that part of Illinois. We examined the session records for the last 3i years, and found that 33 new names were added to the roll, of whom 24 were converts from Rome. We saw two men, with their wives, renounce the errors of Rome and sign a declaration to that effect and join our Church. They looked intelligent and devout. We also saw a young lady who had been sent to a nunnery in Chicago that she might be- come a nun, but she was now waiting upon the ministrations of Mr. Chiniquy. The Sabbath school is very fluctuating. The morning we were there, there were not over 30 scholars present, but we were assured the attendance was usually much larger. We think the school could be made much more interest- ing and attractive. One pleasing feature, however, we must notice. Some grown up men and women attend who learned to read after they were grown up and had left the Romish Church We spent one whole day and part of two other days in examining the school connected with the mission. There are three teachers employed. The Rev. Mr. Lafontaine teaches the more advanced classes in French, Latin, Greek and mathematics ; an assistant male teacher takes the English, and an assistant female teacher the junior division in both languages. This last teacher has re- ceived all her education at this school, and it is gratifying to see her filling this position so well. The Shorter Catechism is repeated daily by the advanced scholars, and the Bible is read by all who can read. We did not find the classes so far advanced as might have been expected. This was partly accounted for by the fact that the two languages — French and English — were taught to the same children, and also that some of the older scholars had been out of school all summer and had just retutaed. The average attendance for the past year has been about 85. We took tlie liberty of visiting and examining the district school, and found it in a very good condition, with an energetic teacher, and an average at- tendance for the previous month of 52 1-7. No French is taught, but the Bible is read daily. The teacher receives $500 for 11 months. Altogether the young of St. Anne are very well off for education. APPENDIX. 63^ The dei)utation felt that a very important part of their work was to examine into the financial affairs of the mission. We accordingly s; ent much time in examin- ing accounts and vouchers, and are able to furnish the following abstract. This, of course, is altogether different from the account of the Assembly's Treasurer — his report will appear in its proper place. It covers a period of over three years : — RECEIPTS.

Your committee has learned with great pleasure that through the labours of Mr. Chiniq^uy and the Christian liberality of friends in Britain, the debt remaining on the bmlding has been paid oif. Your committee, after carefully considering all the matters connected with this mission, are unanimously of opinion that the time has come when the con- gregation of St. Anne could bear to have Mr. Chiniquy removed from them; and whue another could discharge the duties of the pastorate, Mr. Chiniquy could be far more usefully employed in superintending our French evangelization work in the Province of Quebec. There is not perhaps another man on this continent who is so peculiarly adapted for this work. It gives the committee pleasure to be able to state that he has expressed his readiness to obey the call of the Church ; and that the session and congregation, on having these views presented to them, voted that they would place no obstacles in the way of his removal. Your committee feel satisfied that were this action taken, it would hot be long ere the two Pres- byterian congregations of the village would be united under one pastor, and present a more formidable opposition to the pretensions of Rome than they can do apart; and in addition to this the united congregation could be ecclesiastically connected with the Church to which they properly belong. Gould some such arrangement as this be carried out, Mr. Chiniquy might then be able to devote some part of his time to writing his book on Kome — part of which he has alrttady I'l u APPENDIX. 1! ■' j published, and which has been so well received by the Christian public ; and also he could occasionally visit other parts where his services might be needed. His visit to the Maritime Provinces last summer is matter of history ; the assault made upon him by the Roman Catholic rabble, encouraged by some of the leading men of the place, must endear him to this Church and point him out as apowerfiu enemy of Rome. And his' still more recent visit to Britain shews that he can be far more usefully employed than ministering to the congregation of St. Anne. Testimonials have been received from many leading men in England and Scotland as to the good work he has done there; and most urgent letters have been received retiuesting the Church to allow him to spend six or eight months next year in Great Britain, and lecture on the errors of Rome in the cities and towns. Mr. Chinir[uy explained to your committee the circumstances connected with his recent baptism, but they felt that it was not within their province to consider -this matter, and so took no action on it. Tliey earnestly hope that eveiything will be ovemiled for the good of the mission, and that the Assembly will be led to adopt such measures as will greatly advance the cause of Christ among our French-speaking countrymen. All of whiclx is respectfully submitted. A. A. DRUMMOND, Convener. EEPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUXTOU FINANCE. At last General Assembly three gentlemen were appointed to audit the financial statement of your committee. The long illness and subsequent death of the late Mr. William Clark, treasurer of the fund, interfered with the carrying out of the As- sembly's finding. On the death of Mr. Clark, the committee met and agreed to place the books and documents of the treasurer in the hands of the auditors, which was immediately done. Owing to the fact that the books had never before been efficiently audited, and that they extended over a period of fourtCv^n years, embracing the expenditure of some $20,000, the auditors, after consultation, notified your committee that they were unable to devote the time necessary to an efficient examination of the books and a comparison of these with the vouchers ; and recommended the appointment of a regular accountant. The committee, how- .ever, were indisposed to put the fund to such expense, the more so that one of their own number consented to devote some time to a careful audit of the books. This has been done, and the following statement shows the position of the fund .on the 12th of March, 1874 :— ASSETS. Invested in the Huron and Erie Saving and Loan Society — 20 shares of accumulating stock — par value $ 376 00 Invested i,n Mortgages 2631 64 Interest due on 1st January, 1874 (from Mortgages) 316 87 Duf by the late Treasurer 8 00 Total assets $3332 51 LIABILITIES. Due the Rev. W. King one quarter's salary, to 31st December, 1873 $62 50 Commission for collecting interest, say 31 68 Total liabilities 94 18 $3233 33 ';leaving a balance m favour of the fund invested of three thousand two hundred ..and thirty-eight dollars and thirty-three cents. Your committee have resolved to dispose of the mortgages at present held by them, with the view of investing the entire fund in, building society stock, from which they will be able to realize interest at the rate of nine per cent, per annum. The committee desire to place upon record their appreciation of the valuable : services rendered in connection with the Buxton Mission and its financial adminis- APPENDIX. 60 -tration for the past fourteen years, by the late M. W. Clark, of London — services wliieh were (!ver cheerfully rendered, and which tended much to place the fund in the 8ati.sfa(!tory condition in w uich it now is. Your committee would recommend the General Assembly to continue the annual grant of $250 from the fund to the support of the Buxton congregation. All of which is respectfully submitted. Ottawa, 9th June, 1874. JOHN SCOTT, Convener. REPORT ON FRENCH EVANGELIZATION. Your committee l)eg leave to report that, during the last summer, A. B. Crouchet taught and did missiciary work at Joliet ; Misael Paradis and Telisphore Brouillette laboured in New Brunswick ; Charles Brouillette at New Glasgow ; Galvin Amaron at De Ramsay, and Charles Chavez in the (}attineau region. Philip Blouin and Theodore Bonchard colported along the north shore of the St. Lawrence, from Quebec to Tadousac. The arrangement for the present season is as follows : — 1. Calvin Amaron stationed at Aylmer. 2. Telesphore Brouillette, at Riviere du Loup, 3. Charles Brouillette, at Lancaster. 4. A. B. Cronchet, in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. 5. M. F. Boudreau, in the lumbering region of the Upper Gatiueau, in connection with the Missionary Society of the Montreal Presbyterian College. 6. Charles Chavez in the Sixes portage on the Gattineau. 7. G. Mousseau, colporteur in connection with the Bible Society. 8. E. D. Pelletier is teaching at St. Anne's, Kankakee. Misael Paradis has been licensed to preach the gospel, and is carrjang for- ward the Evangelistic work he so successfully commenced in New Brunswick. Telesphore Brouillette has finished his theological curriculum, and is ready for license. Philip Blouin, Theodore Bonchard and Zadok Lefebvre who, during the past session have been attending the Montreal Normal School, will be ready for colporteur work from the beginning of JiUy, for three months. Your committee have pleasure in reporting the honourable standing taken by tlie French students in our College competitions ; and that they have already learned of at least five additional students who are likely to enter College next session. The labours of the able and accomplished French Professor are in- creasingly appreciated. It is very desirable that those familiar with fields where missionary effort can be ])rosecuted with likelihood of permanent success, coonmunicate at once with the convener, and that the effort to unify and systematize our French work, be carried out as speedily as possible. The statement of accounts is as follows : — To balance $ 675 88 Receipts 3002 92 $3678 79 EXPENDITURE. Sundries $ 350 98 Board 428 55 Salary of Professor Coussirat 1600 00 H.

In earnest desire for the advancement of Christ's cause, Paul said to Baiiiabos, " Lot us visit our brethren in every city where \vc liave preachetl the Word of the Lord, and tea how they do. " Simihir to the interest which Paul expressed in the spiritual welfare of those among whom he and Barnabas had preached the Wont and instituted the ordinances of Christ's appointment, is that of the Assembly in the spiritual welfare of all the congregations under their care. "What cannot be accomplished, nor attempted, in the way of visitation by super- inteudeu.s or by deputies, is sought to be effected by tlie instrumentality tliat may readil)' be employeil in all the congregations. It is the desire of tlie Assembly to "see how they do;" and for this end (|uestions, framed in no inquisitorial spirit, but prompted by earnest solicitude about the welfare of those of whom they have the oveisight, are addressed to all the sessions within ihe limit of the Assembly's operations. To these questions answers have been returned by 164 sessions. This, it is believed, is the largest number of returns sent in in any year in reply to similar inquiries. But, with anything like the eai nest attention which the importance of the subject demands, this number might have been doubled. The returns were furnished by the sessions to the clerks of their respective Presbyteries. Reports based upon these were prepared by the great majority of the Presbytery clerks for their several Sj'nods ; and reports, more or less complete, have been forwarded to your committee by each synod, either through its clerk, or the convener of its Committee on the State of Religion. From this it is obvious that to the state of religion much attention ha.s been given by the Presbyteries and Synods of the Church. Your Committee would now present p. synopsis of the Synodical Reports, supplementing these, in some instances, by information or by suggestions from the reports of Presbyteries, many of which have been forwarded along with the Synodical Reports. The attention of the Assembly is solicited to this fact, with which your committee have been much impressed in studying the reports and tabular statements which it was their duty to analyze ; namely, that those Pres- byteries which, during the previous years that have passed since the Assembly was constituted, have been giving much attention to this subject, seem now to be giving still more, while those which, during the period referred to, have given little attention to it, seem now to be giving less. From the Presbytery of Huron and that of Sinicoe, the returns are singularly complete. From the former of these Presbyteries, 18 returns have been sent in, equivalent to one from each of its pastoral charges ; and from the latter 1 9 returns, equivaltmt to one from each of its pastoral chfirgea, and, in addition to these, from a number of its mission stations. On the other hand, the Presbytery of London, with 30 congregations, which, according to the tabulated statement of 1872, sent in 5 returns, this year sends in 4. SYNOD OF MONTRKAL. The report from the Synod of Montreal is complete and explicit. From it we learn that in the Presbytery of Montreal much attention has been given to the state of religion during the past year. " A committee was appointed, and certain recommendations presented by it were adopted by the Presbytery, urging congi-egations to send in reports; enjoining ministers to call the attention of their people especially to the duties of family worship and the observance of the Sabbath; calling for special efforts to check intemperance and to elevate public sentiment on this question; and recommending a communicants' class in each congregation, if practicable. Fifteen congregations returned answers to the ques- tions of the Assembly's Committee." In the Presbytery of Ottawa, "a measure of progress in things spiritual appears to have been enjoyed ; and in more than one congregation the past year will be memorable for the marked advancement in grace. " Fourteen congregations send in returns, against twelve last year. From the Presbytery of Brockville two congregations have sent in returns. Up to the meeting of Synod, no conference had been held in this Presbytery on the state of APPENDIX. 67 it we to the d, ami urging of their I of the public a each e ques- isure of Lan one lent in From to the itate of religion ; but your committee are happy to learn from an authentic source that, since the Synod, a very interesting conterence has been held. Three congrega- tions in the Presbytery of Kingston send returns. At a recent metting, "a solemn ami impressive conference was held, after which it was decided to make a similar eonli rence part of the business at each meeting of the court." In the Synod of Montreal, there has been much earnest labour in connection with evangelistic services. " These services, we have reason to believe, hiivc been productive of much spiritual benefit to the people as well as to the ministers engagiul. The reports which come from the deputations conducting these services give decided encouragement for the further prosecution of this good work." SYNOD OF TORONTO. from this Synod comes a full and carefully prepared report, containing state- ments and suggestions which, before concluding, your committees will take leave to present to the Assembly. In the Synod of Toronto, the Presl)ytery of Toronto sends in 10 returns from sessions, Owen Sound 5, Simcoe 19, Ontario 10, and Cobourg 8. " All the reports concur in setting forth an increase of mem- bership, greater interest in Church work, and a better attendance on ordinances, growing liberality, decrease in Sabbath profanation and intemperance." Meet- mgs of special interest are referred to as having been held in Peterborough, Cobourg, Millbrook, Port Hope, Baltimore and Cold Sj)riugs. SYNOD OF HAMILTON. Owing to the absence of the convener of the Synod's committee, the tabulat- ing of the returns and the collation of the facts presented had to be entrusted to another brotiier, who cheerfully and efficiently discharged the duty thus unexpectedly devolved upon him. In the Presbytery of Hamilton, returns come from 8 sessions; Paris, 12 ; Guelph, 14 ; Durham, 4 ; Boner, 4. " There is a spirit of waiting desire for times of refreshing from the Lord's presence breatlied in some of the returns, wliile others lament coldness and absence of spiritual life and power. Let our acknowledgments be made to the Lord that His presence is felt among us, by His work making silent but steady onward progress." SYNOD OF LONDON. Tlxe Presbytery of Huron sends returns from 1 8 sessions, with a remarkably full and instructive report. It is surprising that the Presbyteries of London and Chatham should present returns from only 4 and 3 sessions respectively, since in these Presbyteries the subject has obviously not been overlooked, and reports are furnished by them both, as well as by the Synod with which they are connected. In the Presbytery of Stratford returns have been received from 9 sessions. In the report of tliat Presbytery reference is made to "an interesting and an important work of grace in the congregation of Mitchell, " of " the origin, nature, extent, and results of which, however, no definite information has been received." Your committee would respectfully suggest that, in the conference on the state of religion, ample time should be given for verbal reports from those who are able to speak of the movement in Mitchell, FuUerton, and in other places in which " times of refreshing " have been enjoyed. From a conjunct view of the reports just referred to, your committee gather hese facts : That, in the congregations from which returns h^re been receivedt, there has been in most cases a considerable increase in the "membership ; that family worship is generally observed by heads of families that are members of the Church ; that in almost every congregation there is a congregational prayer meeting, and that in some there are district meetings for prayer, conducted by Elders or other members of the Church, iu which considerable interest has been manifested ; that the congregations, with few exceptions, have a Sabbath school or schools, iu which many of the Elders as well as other members of the Church engage in the instruction of the yonng, and that the schools are, in some degree, altnough not so fully as they should be, sustained by the sympathy and aid of the congregations ; that in the congregations there is a growing liberality in the support of Gospel ordinances am.ong themselves, and that in many cases a more . sa ^> ^'V/. ^O^^^^^^O.

The Report of the Senate tuid the Treasurer's Audited Statement, wliieh are herewith transmitted to the General Assembly, show the work and finnineial con- dition of the College. The Board of Management record witli devout gratitude to God the completion of the new College building, which was opened with appro- priate services on the 28th day of October last. It is a .stone editice, elegant and commodious, pleasantly situated on the rising ground above the city, com- manding a view of tiie University grounds, the city, and the scenery of the St. Lawrence. As immediately adjoii.ing McGill College, it att'ords students the greatest facilities for attending lectures in t^iat institution, and obtaining con- stant ac.ess to its valuable library and mus(!um. Tn addition to its library, lecture-rooms and offices, it contains studies and dormitories for resident students, together with bath rooms, and other modern conveniences. The rooms are comfortably furnished, and thi^ whole building, including the individual rooms, is well ventilated, heated with hot water pipes and lighteil with gas. liesident students are lurnished with rooms, heating and light, free of expense ; but the refectoiy and attendance of servants are in the hands of the steward, whose fee will iu no case exceed three dollars per week, and who is responsible to the Board of Management for the efficiency of his service. By these arrangements the comfort and success of students liave been greatly pro- moted. Tlu^ amount subscribed to the Building Fund to date is $43,522, of which $33,104 05 has been })aid. The amount expended forpurcha.se of ground and building is $42,428 81, being in excess of receipts, $9,324 7t). There are also accounts not yet rendered, and a considerable expenditure re(iuired for office furniture, fencing, and other improvements in connection with the grounds. And in view of the growth of the College, the Board deem it necessary to take steps to enlarge the building with as little delay as jjossible. It will l)e seen from the Treasurer's statement that the expenditure for ordi- nary pur])oses lias tliis year been in excess of tlu; revenue. Th.s is apparent from tne fact that the year opened with a balance on hand of $1,012 69, and closes leaving only $196 47 balance iu hand. This is due to the unavoidable increase of expenditure, and not to any diminution of the contributions of the people. On ':he contrary, there has been an increase in the annual collection as compared with last year of $426 26, and a still further increase of liberality is required in order to add to the usefulness and efficiency of the Collegt. The professional staff has been greatly strengthened by the induction on the first day of October, in terms of appointment by the General Assembly, of the Kev. John Campbell, M.A., into the Chair of Church History and Ai)ologetics. Professor Campbell delivered his inaugural lecture on the ; onnection of sacred and profane history the same day, and has continued to discharge the duties of his office with much zeal and success. The Rev. J. M. Gibson having removed to a pastoral charge in the city of Chicago, resigned his office as Chairman of the Board and Lecturer in Exegesis. The Board desire to put on record their appreciation of the valuable services rendered by him in both these capacities. RECOMMENDATIONS. , The following recommendations are submitted to the General Assembly : 1. That the Rev. John Scrimger, M.A., be appointed Lecturer in Exegesis next session, at a salary of five hundred dollars. 2. That for reasons to be urged, the General Assembly be respectf»lly asked to relieve the funds of this College of the charge made last June for part of the retiring allowance of the former Principal of I^ox College, Toronto.

Awarded to Uobert Watt. The Senate direct attention to the new and more thorough arnuigements respecting Scholarships, medals, prizes and 'certificates of honour for tlie next Session, announcol in the Annual Calendar just issued. In addition to |the onlinary subjects taught in the classes of the various professors, as prescribed for each year, in which every student must pa.>is an examination at the close of the session, an honour course is provided, which is optional, and in which no lectures are given, but to which ccrtificati's of honour, scholarships and Tuedals are at- tached. Seventeen scliolarships, two medals, and ten prizes are thus oU'ered for competition. Two of the scholarships are of the value of $100 each, two $70 each, and the rest $50 and $40 each. The books of the honour course in each year are generally selected from among those to which attention has been direiited and a partial analysis of which has been given in the classes. It is believed that this arrangement will secure concentration of ettbrt on the part of stuilents, and a more thorough course of readin;., than is usual in connection with their theological curriculum. Students of the first and second year are reciuired to attend the cla.sses and pass examinations in elocution and music. Students of the third year are not required to attend the classes in elocution and music, but '.ours are set apart for s])ecial exercises in extemporaiy speaking, in which they are expected to engage. These provisions are deemed specially valuable in fitting young men for the work of the ministry. All Frencli students, and students preparing for French work, are re(iiured to take the Sacred Criticism of the three years with Prof. Coussirat, an(l English students who understand French are urged to do the same. Students taking this course and passing examinatioijs in it are exempted from examination in the Biblical History of the first year, the Apologetics of the second, and the Exegesis of the third. In the honour work tliey may also take the examinations in Latin, Greek and Hebrew authors, Gaussen and Calvin, in French instead of English. French students are not required to give more than one of tl :eir College exer - cises in English, and at least two of them must be in French. While French students are eligible for all the scholarships and other rewards of the theological course, in consideration of the disadvantage at which they are placed by pursuing their studies in both languages, certain special scholars. lips are offered for competition to them. ..j-'FILIATION WITH MCOILL UNIVERSITY. The Senate, as in former reports, direct attention to the special advantages afforded students in virtue of the affiliation of the College with McGill University . They have thereby access to the library, museum and lectures of that institution. By scholarships which are in the gift of benefactors, they may enjoy exemption from College fees. In addition to these there are sixteen exhibitions and scholarships of from $100 to $125 each, annually offered for competition to students in arts, and at the close of their curriculum five gold medals are awarded in the various departments, besides prizes and certificates of honour. For full information on these matters reference is made to the Calendar. LIBRARY AND RBADINll ROOM. The following additions were made to the library during the session : By furchase, 92 vols., by donation, 254 vols., ii^ all, 346 vols. The reading room as been supplied during the session with over fifty different papers and periodi- cals, many of them without expense to the College. The Senate beg to request the attention of the Board to the necessity of increased accommodation for the library. T J! Si;;' i ;1, M' m I 80 APPENDIX. STUDENTS PHILOSOPHICAL AND LITERARY SOCIETY. Tins society aims at the cultivation of the reasoiiing faculty, literary taste and rhetorical powers of its members, by means of fortnightly meetings for dis- cussions, readings, the delivery of essays, &c. Its work during the past session has been more successful tlian in any previous year ; and this is in a great mea- sure due to the convenience enjoyed in the new College building. The Senate offers annually the following prizes, wliich are awarded by vote of the society, viz. : One prize (each one of the value of ten dollars in books, appropriately bound, and bearing the College stamp), for excellency in ( 1 ) Public Speaking, (2) English Reading, (3) French Reading, (4) for the best English Essay, (5) for the best French Essay. The thanks of the Senate are tendered to the Rev. Wm. Reid, M. A. , Modera- tor of the General Assembly, for a set of Macaulay's works, to be awarded as a prize by this society. MISSIONARY SOCIETY. This society reports directly to the Convener of the General Assembly's Kome Mission Committee; but it is proper here to state that it meets weekly for prayer, general business, and conference on home and foreign mission matters. It di- rects the efforts of students in t^e city and vicinity, and employed during College recess six missionaries. Th i work of this society was much promoted during the session by the presence of several distinguished visitors. Among them were the Rev. Narayan Sheshadri, of India, Rev. Dr. Graham, of Bonn, and Rev. Dr. Duryea, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who delivered most instructive and profitable ad- dresses before the students. The opening lecture of the session was delivered by the Rev. Prof. Campbell, on the Connection of Sacred and Profane History, and the closing lecture by Principal McVicar on Prayer and Recent Criticism. All which is respectfully submitted, D, H.

The Board of Managemnnt during the past year organized for the fust time BTider the bylaws adopted at last Assembly. At the fiist meeting a balance ebei t of all receipts and expenditure on ordinary account since the opening of the College WHS received, Huditcd and aj })rovod. The amount of receipts wa.s , $1021 24 " "expenditure 1023 88 During the present year there has been received from all Fources for ordinary accouTit, $577 89, and expended thc^ stniu' amount as per balance sheet attached. The boiirdiiig house in connection witlt the College has been in operation for the year, and has had an average of ten boarders. At the first meeting of the Boiird the deliveiance of tlie Commissioners on the remov^nl of the College building whs considered. The deliverance was as follows : The Commissicmers appointed by the General Assembly to visit Manitoba, in refe-ence to tbe opening of classes for higher education in the town of Winnipeg, having met with the Presbytery of Manitoba, and. held conferences with the BuiMiiig Committee of Manitoba College and Board of Management ; and, having investigated all matters relating to the proposed transference of Manitoba College fnm Kildonan to Winnipeg, are prepared to reconjmend that the College- be transferred from Kildonan to Winnipeg. It is understood by the Conmiissioners, in making this recommendation, that the debt on the College Building, amounting to $1,600, be assumed by the Board of Manage'nent of Manitoba College, and that suitable buildings be pro- Tided for college pur])oses imtil permanent buildings are erected. Further, that inasmuch as the sum of alxjut $1,600 has been contributed by friends in Kildonan, and by bequest, towards the erection of the present College buildinff, the Commissioners recommend that it be made over to the trustees of the Kildonan congregation, to be by them held for the congregations' behoof and benefit, and used or disposed of as the congregation may du-ect. (Signed) ROBERT URE, WILLIAM COCHRANE. v>' i: 84 A.PPEND1X. II % I The following resolutioa was unanimously adopted : "That the deliverance of the Commissioners from the General Assembly of the Canada Presbyterian Ckorch, anent the removal of the College to Winnipeg, be accepted as satiofaotory by the Board of Management. " f n view ot the removal the Board appointed Site itnd Subscription Committees, who reported in favour of the purchase of a site of two acres within the limits of the city, which, on account of the object, was offered at half-price, viz. $500 for fche olock. To provide for the immediate wants cf the College a hubstantial building hac baon bargained for, and the refusal given until after the meeting of the Assembly. The cost of thr> building is $2,5C0. To meet the expenditure 9S,000 is required. A subscription list has been opened, and, taking all UcU into coBPideratiou, a mcst liberal response given. The subscriptions are payable according to the conditions of the accompanying report and schedule for' arded to the Assembly for approval. The Board have, by the recommendation of the Commissioners, been bound to assume the debt of $1,500 on the old building, and for this amount private members of the Board are responsible. In addition, according to the recom- mendation nf the Commissioners, the Board is required to relinquish the present iuiilding In the present state of the country, and in view of the liberal and energetic response given to the call for funds for the new building, and for obtaining a site which in five years will probably be worth live or ten times its present value, the Board prays for such relief as the Assembly may extend. It would respectfully suggest for the approval of the Assembly : 1. That the Building and Endowment Funds be amalgamated, and called *' Manitoba College Permanent Fund." .2. That an effort be made t > raise a suEBcient sum to relieve the Church of the support of the College by increasing this "Permanent Fund," which now has $2,890 15 paid into the agent of the Church. 3. That the $1,500 above referred to be paid from such sums as may be here- after raised for this Permanent Fund, and t at present arrangements be made tor the relief of the private parties responsible for the amount. 4. That such moneys as may be raised be placed for investment in the hands of the Manager of the Merchants Bank ot Canada, at Winnipeg, who guarantees to invest them for 12 per cent, in absolutely safe investments up to the amotmt of ten or twenty thousand dollars. The Board would earnestly beg of tne General Assembly that the Rer. Thos. Burt, ML A., be appointed a Professor in the College to receive support and retaia Ohxirch connec Ion as at present. The Board would also, on account of the distance of Manitoba from the place of meeting of the General Assembly, respectfully present the following plan of constituting the Board of Management. That the Assembly appoint the fifteen members of the Board to be nominated in the Tollowing manner : — 2 Professors. "2 dominated by the Presbytery of Manitoba. Knox Church, Winnipeg. Kildonan. Synod of Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection witli the Church of Scotland. Little Britain. Portage La Prairie. It is the request of the Board also that a seal be authorized by the Assembly to be affixed by the Board to legd docunifuts. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. S. B BANNATYNE, Chaiitnan.

In giving this, its first annual report, to the Board, the Senate is of tie opinion that a "hort statement of the matters properly belonging to it previous to the present session may be useful. The classes in Manitoba College were begun on the 10th of November, 1871, by the Rev. George Bryce, M. A., a graduate of and examiner in the University of Toronto, and at the time of his appointment assistant in Chalmers' ChTirCb, Quebec. The Rev. John Black had for two years previous been maintaining classes in classics, and Mr. D. B. Whimster, hent out by the Home Mission Com- mittee, had given instruction in English and mathematics. The Rev. John Black took during the first year several classes in Greek and Ljitin. A master also gave instruction in commercial subjects. The College began with seven students, and during the first session this number rose to seventeen. Written examinations , were held with the best results, and a few prizes were awarded. The second session began in October, 1 872. During the summer of 1 872 arrangements had been made between the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland and the Assembly for joint action in college and missionary work. Accordingly, this session began with the Kev. Thomas Hart, M.A., a graduate of Queen's College, Kingston, and favourably known in Central Canada as Piincipal of the Perth Grammar School, in charge of classics and French. A commercial teacher was also employed. There were during this ses.- mentarv teacher. Steward, J. Villiers. 86 APPENDIX. If *: 'iHi NAMES OF STUDENTS.

The examinations of the Colle^je are conducted on the same principle as Ihose of the University of Toronto. Tiie .students are cliis.sified, a chiss-list posted up, and every precaution taken to miike the examination se.irchiiig and useful. Ex- aminations under the direction of the Senate were held in December and March, And all the examiners reported a great advance on the previous session in an.swer- ing power and acquaintance witli the subjects of examination. The Senate has much pleasure in reporting that the orgaiiizition of the College has this year been completed, and that during the year tlie wiiole four forms have, for the first time in the history of the College, been in operation. The Senate has iilso to report that it was deemed advisable to substitute some works in the aiuhorized curriculum. Cicero pro Anihia for Cicero vs. Catnline; Livy, Book V., for Horace, Ars Poetica, and Luciau's Timon was added ; and also that in consequence of the addition of several authors in classics and French, tlie subjects of the spec'al course for IV. form were remitted. MEDALS, BUR,SARIES AND* PRICES. The prizes, itc, awarded last year were distributed at the public opening on the 5th of January. No bursary or prize is awarded exci'pt when a cerlain stan- dard of merit is reached. The bursaries iir.i in money, the prizes in books. The following are the donors, amounts and recipients : III.

LIBRARY. A library has been begun, and a circular issued iiskiug for donations of books. About 100 volumes make up the present library, thi)UL;h there are a number more kindly given by Knox College, which have not yet been added. In our new Province, where books, even in private collections, arcscaice, the necessity for ad- ditions to the library is a jiressing one.

The matter of the application of the Presbytery of Manitoba to the Assembly, for leave to take certain students in theology under its care, to receive instnictioii in Manitoba College, having been brought under the notice of the Senate, the Senate is of the opinion that the following would be a suitable and comprehensive plan of study for these students for the four years proposed : — 1st yeah. Latin. Greek. Ch. Hist. (O.T.) Paley's Evidenceg, Keid's R'-says. Study of the Gospels. 2nd year. 3UD YEAR. Hebrew. Greek Exegesis. Ch. Hist. (1-5 cent.) Butler's Analogy. Whately's Logic. Hebrew Exegesis. Greek '* Ch. Hist. (5-16 c.) Homiletics. Syst. Theology. 4th year. Hebrew Exegesis. Greek Bible Criticism. Syst. Theology. The Senate is also of opinion that, with Profs. Bryce and Hart, the Rev. Mr. Black, and the minister of Knox Church, Winnipeg, it will be able to make Batisfactoiy arrangements for the instruction req«ired. The Senate, in conclusion, beg to sfcite that during the year much good work has been done, and that the students have shown their appreciation of their ad- vantages by most satisfactory progress. All of which is respectfully submitted. GEORGE BRYCE, Chairman of Senate. REPORT OF THE SABBATH SCHOOL COMMITTEE. The Committee on Sabbath Schools, in presenting their annual report to the Assembly, desire to acknowledge the goodness of God, and to render devout thanks for His blessing upon this important branch of the Church's work. The past year has not gone by without many manifest tokens of His favour. Greater interest is taken in Sabbath schools, and more of the Chuich's talent'j and energy enlisted year by year. The members of our congregations are beginning to feel that the eabbath school entergritte demands from them more of prayerful effort and efficient support than they have hitherto given. More comprehensive and scriptural ideas are now entertained in regard to this department, which affects the vital interests of the whole Church. The Master has put it into the hearts of many to consecrate themselves to the blessed work of instructing the young ; and the Canada Presby- terian Church is largely indebted to her noble band of SabbathTschool teachers — her unpaid ministry — whose labours are being greatly blessed to the spiritual good of many. During the past year a great deal of attention has been given to the more practical questions of Sabbath school teachings and the religious training of the yonng. In accordance with the recommendation adopted at last Assembly, many it the Presbyteries have either held Sabbath school conventions or given a tederant to the consideration of Sabbath school worR ; and in each case it haa been reported to your committee that the most lively interest has been taken in the discussions, and deliberations. The Presbyteries of Guelph, Simcoe, Chatham, APPENDIX. "Ow» and Huron have had conventions, at which mxny of tho iiuit vital questions were cjiscussed with mirked interest and prortt. As will be aeen by the enumer- ation of the more prominent themes, aid the subipiiucnt de>;i3ioiia of Pre.iiper in which the weekly lesson is explained. We c in heartily recomma id for this purpose, " TilB PllEsnYTKKIAy AT WoilK," " TlIK Su.VDAY SCHOOL TiMKS," or " TUK SuNDAT School Would," the notes in which, by the IL'v. Dr. John Hall, are copied into " TiiK Biurisii Amkuioax PiiBsiivrKUivN." Many teachers have asiured us that they have received great help from the study of the lesson as explained in these papers. Many schools and teachers parti, illy fail, not from any lack of interest or earnest desire, but from a lack of imthoi and ext:;i knowlaigc of their work. Your committee discussed at hngth tlie propriety of preparing a shorr mnnual of a few pages for the use ""'f teacliers, containing brief hints and spciCitic direc- tions on the practical points of their labours, and the convener was instructed to pr.ipare a compend, but wmt of time prcventi-d him. ScUl we deem the matter most important, and recommend it to the consideration of this Assembly. A brief suiumay of speci(i(; directi'Uis would prove of inestimable value to many of our younger and less experienced teachers. We also strongly urge the careful grading and classifying of tlie scholars when it can be done, and the thorou'.;h organization of the whole school. l<'rom the want of this, many of our schools, especially in the country, are le-s eflicieiit than they shouM be. Another great dilii nilty experienced is the piocuring of suitable books for the Sabbath school libr.iry. Ii miny instances, books quite unworthy find their way into the Sabbath scliool. and f<»ster tisres which prove prejuiiicial to the .scholar's religious training. Last year a partial list was published of books that had been examined aud were thereby recommended. Your committee tare APPENDIX. 91 irest or work. niiimal (ILrnc- tructiid uiiitter Ay. A luuiy of cineful lorou'^h ictooU, •inco sought to e.xtemi tho list of S.ibbatli school book.t ilocmcil siiitabl« by them, and thoy recommond that it be published either in thd paj^cs ut ti»o limmi, or else scpiinvtely for distribution at the Assetnbly'.s cxpi^nse, for tiuiy found that many of our teaeliers and elders wore not aware timt such a list hail been pub- lished, bcin-,' burii^d ainid the profound secrets of the Assembly's minute-. While tho.se well ai^quiiiiited with books may make selections witli coiiipiirative ease, with numy it is a matter of great dilliculty ; and yet the kind of readinj{ uH'ects tho whole character of the school. Too mujli value cannot be placed on a suit- able selection of books for religious reading. In most of our larger .schools infant classes h vo been established in rooms separate from the main .school, and instruction given by means of black-board exercise;, object-lessons ami illuminated texts. During the past year a liirge number of infant clas.ses have been organized. It lequires a combination of rare qualities to make an ellicient teacher of an infant class ; and where such teachers can bo (onnd in a congregation, their servic(;s are of inestimable value and should be secured at once. Your committee feel tliat much more attention should be given to singing than iu usual in all our schools. The C'ouvciKT has exaniiniMl certain catechisms for tlie use of tho smaller childi(Mi, and can recommend, as in his jud.^ineiit one of thi! be-it, A Vatichism for InfatUs, prepared a few years ago by Kev. J. Laiiig. To a teacher who wishes to make an intelligent use of it it will bo of great ;iervice ; and to tliose who do not wish to make their labour an intelligent .service, no book or catechism will bo of any avail. 1. Yonr ('ommittec ask tho (reneral Assetnldy to urgi; I'rcsltytcries to give more atttmtion to Siibbath .school work within their bounds, to collect statistics, and H(>nd tabulated returns to the Assembly's convener. 2. They also recomniend that Synods ami tlu; (Jeneral Assembly give one sedciunt to the consideration of .Sabbttli school work and kindred subjects. 3. Wc again recommend with increasing uigcncy th(! need of making certain •four Church services more adapted to the capacity of children; that occasion il sermons bo preached to the young ; that the relative duties of parents and chil- dren be kept prominent, and especially the need of jiarents cooperating with Sabbatli school teachers in the training and instruction of tho young. 4. ^V^o feel tlie importance ol training the young early to practical benevo- lence for the cause of Christ, and therefore recomineni that our Sabbath scdiools be required to sujiport two missionaries, one in the home and tho other in the foreign iield — the. fields to be determined by this Assemidy. 5. Your committee more than ever IVol the need of mutual didilvratiori and concentrated action on this great sul)Ject of Clnindi work, and urtjc upon this Assembly the nect^ssity of ap|iointiiig a convention for tho jHii|iose of discussing matters connected with our Sabbath schools, to which all ministers, ciders, and teachers may be invited, to be held at such time and place as the Assembly may agree on. In conclusion, your committee would ask the .Assembly to urge upon teachers the need of keeping constantly in view tho great end of all religious teaching in the immediate spiritual good of the young and their saving enlightenment in tho knowledge of Christ, and the necessity of being earnest, definite and decided on all practical themes — always pointing to the " Lamb of tiod which takcth away the sin of the wnld." All of which is res]>eclfully submittiul. J. THOMPSON. Conve.7ier. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SYSTEMATIC BENE VOLE NCE.

And in order to secure a still wider diffusion of missionary intelligence among our people, with a view to dcfpen their interest in the work of the Church, and to draw out their liberality in advancing the same, the committee would suggest — 1. That sessions and boards of management be strongly recommended to supply every family in their respective congregations with a copy of the tiecord. 2. That the conveners of the various mission committees of the Church be instructed to furnish the editor from time to time with such communications as will tend to enlarge the sympathies of our people with the different departments of work in which the Church is engtged. Also that the editor, as formerly, be instructed to abridge, when he deems necessary, the reports of the proceedings of Presbyteries, in order that more space may be devoted to missionary intelligence. • All which is respectfully submitted.

Report of the Commi83ion Appointed to Inquire into Educational Abbano£mknt8 in Manitoba. The Commission of the General Assembly charged to visit Manitoba, and to inquire specially as to the place or places in which teaching should bti conducted in connection with the Manit'tba Odlege, beg to report that they visited the abiiv«> named Province, ami remained there from July 15th uuti* August 19th, 1873; and thai during that time they did. as well with a view of obtaining correct impres- sions of the state oi the Mission Held in that Province, aa of promoting the specific end of their mission, visit the various congregations and mission stations, and that, with particular reference to the latter object, they met witti the Presbytery, also with the Building Co,mnittee, and with the Board of Management of the Manitoba Cobege. lu prosecuting their inquiries in regard to the College, the following are the Jioints to which attention Wis chijfly directed, together with the statements of Acts and opinions elicited in reference to them : — I. The origin of the College, and the ciicumstanoes that led to its being placed where it now is in the paiioh of Kildonan. If 1' H APPENDIX. M \m Upon these points no information could V btained from the Minutes of Presbytejy ; whatever was done iu regard to them, was done informally and with- out beinrj minuted. The testimony, how8ver,.of Mr. Black, who was then and ■who if 81 ill a member of Presbytery, was to the eflect — That the project of estab- liNh:;ig an institution of the sort now in existence had on more than one occasion been a subject of conference in Presbyteiy ; that the desirableness of having such an institution was recognized by all ; and that, in the eveut of its being pro- ceeded with, the arrangement agreed to by all or at least objected to by none wa« that it should be placed in the parish of Kildonan, In pursuance of what was understood to be the mind of the Presbytery, a certain number of gentlemen, chiefly connected with the Kildonan Congregation, formed themselves into a Building Connnittec. This Committee held its first meeting on the 25th of January, 1871, and soon afterwards the present College building was, under their auspices and management, commenced and carried forward to it» present stage of completion. TI. Expenditure and indebtedness upon College Building. The Building, although it has been for some time in use, is in an unfinished state. !■; is estimated that a further outlay of $700 would be needed to render it at all complete. As it now stands it has cost about $4,200, of which $1,484 is held by the Building Committee as a loan from the Hiidson's Bay Company, the rate ot interest being 8 per cent, per annum ; the remainder, $2,716, was re- ceived as free contributions :— To wit, from Kildonan in money $860 00 Do. in labor materials 413 16.

There were in all 23 puj)ils ; 13 being from Kildonan, 9 from Winnipeg, and 1 from Portiige la Prairie. IV. Whether the interests of the College, and the purposes for which it has been established, would be promoted by having classes taught in connection with it, both ill Kildonan and in Winni[)eg. A compromise of this sort had been proposed by some parties, but it was not really acceptable to any One. The Presbytery expressed itself opposed to this scheme by a majority of five to four, holding that it would be against the interests of the College to have recourse to it under any circumstances. Those who at all favored the plan did so, not as believing it to be a good one, but from a desire to conciliate Kildonan interests. All interested in Kildonan, however, were at one with the majority of the Presbytery in rejecting the compromise, declaring that rather than agree to such a change they would prefer to have the institution removed from Kildonan altogether. V. Whether in the event of the compromise above mentioned being set aside, the interests and usefulness of the College would be promoted- b_v its removal to Winnipeg. The state of opinion in the Presbytery on this question was as follows : The affirmative was held by Messrs. Fraser and Donaldson, together with Professors Bryce and Hart, Miiii8t«r.i ; and the negative by Messrs. black and Matheson, Ministers, and Messrs. Sutherland and Harper, Elders. iaiJ:' APPENDIX. 96 all e to one that ition In the Presbytery and elsewhere it was urged by those of the latter opinion, _, that a College building was already erected at Kildonau ; that serious loss would be sustained by the parish in case the institution was removed, as in that event a building to which they have contributed liberally, and upon which a consider- able .lebt still remains, would be thrown upon the hands of the Building Com- mitt/*e without there being a prospect of any use to wliich they could profitably appropriate it. Further, that the larger number of students have thus far come from Kildonan, and that the supply of pupils from this quarter would be seriously lessened by the suggested change ; and finally, that parents in the country requir- ing to send their children from home lor education might be expected to nave . on moral grounds a prefoience for Kildonan, which, as a country place, might be presumed to be, as compared to the town, freer from temptations to vice. Those holding tlie former opinion stated that means would be adopted to » prevent Kildonan froni sufl'ering any money loss by the proposed change. They^ also contended that the institution, if at Winnipeg, would be as accessible to a large proportion of the people of Kildonan as it is in its present position. And further, that an increased attendance would probably at present, and all but certainly in the future, be secured by the change : inasiriuch as, while for various reasons the parish of Kildonan may be expected to decrease in population, . the town of Winnipeg has trebled its population within the laiit three years, H.id still continues to increase rapidly ; and finally, that it is anomalous to prefer, is the seat of such an institution, a country parish to the capital of the Province, especially as the latter has as yet no educational advantages of a higher order than those of the common school. The above constitute the principal statements of fact s^nd opinion brought wider the m 'ice of the Commissioners ; and after a careful ( onsideration of the whole circumbiaiices of the case, they venture to express the following as the con- elusions to which they have come : — I. That it would be injurious to the efticienoy of the College to divide the time and labours of its professors between Kildonan and Winnipeg. II. That IFinnipey, and not Kildonan, is the place where the College should be situated. Whatever may have been the comparative claims of these jilaces at the time the institution w-is first thought of, your Commiissioners can have no doubt as to which of the two preference should be given under the changed cir- cumstances of the country. The town of Winnipeg must soon be, if it has not already become, in strength and influence, the chief centre of Presbyteiianism in the Province. The spirit and enterprise of the people of Kildonan in seeking to promote the interests of the higher education, and, in connection with these, the best interests of the Church, arc deserving of all praise, and it is not without regret that a change is proposed wliich, if carried out, will inflict upon them serious disappointment. Your Commissioners, however, see no other course open to them, having re- •peet to the interests of the College and to the interests of the Church in the Provmce as a whole, except that ot recommending as they hereby do recommend. I. That the General Assembly enjoin that the teaching in connection with the College be c ^acted wholly in Winnipeg, so soon as an eij^uitable arrange- ment can be effected in reference to the present building. II. That the following be the arrangement in regard to the latter matter : — • 1st. That the building be given to the parish of Kildonan to be used as a manse. 2nd. Thai; the debt on the building, to .he amount of $1600, be raised and paid ill the proportion of one-third each by the following jiarties, viz : 1st, The p.irish of Kildonan ; 2nd, The Boan' of Management of Manitoba College; 3rd, The General Assembly of the Canav^.. Presbyterian Church. All of wliich is respectfully submittetl. ROBERT URE. WILLIAM COCHRANE. ■' 'ill I '96 APPENDIX. In the Appendix will be found minutfs of the Building Committee of Manitoba College, and Minutes of the Board of Management of Knox Church, Winnipeg, which documents were duly considered by the Commission before coining to the conclusions in the foregoing report. AFI'ENDIX. Minutes of Meeting of the Building Committee of Manitoba ColIiEgk. At Mr. John Fraser's, the 11th day of August, 1873, the Building Committee of Manitoba College met for the purpose of considering the present state of the ins'itntion, and specially its proposed transfer from the present site to the Town of Winning, and for the purpose of reporting their views on the same to the Commissioners of the General Assembly, as by them requested, do hereby submit the following conclusions : — That the Committee most reluctantly find themselves compelled to with- «Jraw fu ther opposition to the transfer of the College, for the following reasons : — I. The Committee cannot see any way of raising the funas neelful to pay off the debt of the College, say $1600, and to complete the Building, say $700 more. Because (1.) The people o fWinnipeg, having set themselves to accomplish the proposed transfer, can no longer be counted on to assist on raising the above named amounts; and as the other congreg itions of the Church are poor, no consider tble sum can be expected from them, and that the whole burden of $2,300 is by far too much for Kildonan, however willing, to bear alone. (2 ) That the movement for the transfer has alienated the minds of so many, and induced such a feeling of insecurity about the whole matter, that any attempt to raise funds, the Committee feel assured, would he a total failure. (3. ) That from these and other causes, the confidence of the public in the per- manency and efficiency of the institution has been so much shaken, that the Committee have reason to believe that many students who would otherwise hare been sent to the College, will now be withheld even should it be left where it is, an J that others will be sent to other institutions, 8 ^^ rsl ksve already been, and that therefore they cannot hope to secure such ( ' oer of students as to give fit t-mployment to the- Professors' or to meet the run., jg exjienses of the Boarding Department. The Committee are aware that some of these reasons tell as strongly against the success of the College in Winnipegas ic Kildonan, but that they thinK ia a matter rather to be considered by the promoters of the transfer than by themselves. II. The Committee having concluded to abandon further opposition to the transfer, have to propose the following as the terms or conditions to which they are disposed to agree. 1. That the Board of the College should assume and become legally re8i)on- sible for the debt 2. That inasmuch as the Kildonan Congregation will sustain a serious losii and disappointment by the removal of the College from amongst them, and inas- mach as thej cimtribnted such a large projwrtion of the Building Fund, the Building as it stands shall be made over to the Trustees of the said Congregation, to be by them held for the Congregation 'bbehoot and benefit, and used or disposed of as the Congregation may direct. 3. That in case the Bi ard should prefer to remove the Building, then, in addition to the assumption of the debt as above, the Ci)mmittee have to propose thMt the Board shall pay over to the Kildonan Congregation, or its lawful repre- sertatives, as compensation for their share ia the building,, the sum of ;JP1,000, and that they, for their part, shall reliiiquibh all claims to the remaining amount, making up their coutrihution to rhe building lund. 4. That in case of any of the subscribers outside of Kildonan or Winnipeg, feeling ajfgrieved at the removal of the ' oUege, should demand the return of tneir subscriptions, the Board shall undertake to meet their demands or otherwise APPENDIX, 97 arrange with them, and so relieve the Committee of all responsibility in the matter. It is to be distinctly ilnderstood that the Committee hereby express only their own views as to wliat is b^st to be done in the circumstances, and wliat they are willing to re orninend to the snbscribers ; but as they have not had an oppor- tunity of consulting these, they aie not prepuied to guarantee that they will agree either to thr tiiinsler or tlie terms. While the Couiniittce, cons'rained by the necessities of their situation, reluct- antly ngree in tin se conclusions, they cannot but fet-l stronijly that a gieat injury has bei-n done to them and the pmple whom they rej)rt'S< :it by the nu>vement pr«- ducing that situ itior. — a feeling deepened and intensiiied by the manner in which the evil was done. WILLIAM FRASER, Chairmcm. / Minutes of Meeting of Board of Management of Knox Church, Vinnipeo. At an informal meeting o' the Commitne of Management of Knox Church, Winnipeg, Hon. A. O. B. Bannatyne, Chairman Sinclair, G. McMicken, D. M«iArthnr and Prof. Bryce. besides N!e.ssrs. (1. McVicar, D. A. Campbell sind Patterson. Prof. Bryce acted as Secretary. After the proposed change of the College ironi Kildonan to Winnipeg had been fully di.-cussed, it was agreed to unanimously thut for the relief ot the parties resi)onsit>le for the debt of $1600 on "iManitoba College," it is the opinion o the meeting that the Board of Management for the College should as,sume the liebt. In regard to accommodation to be provided, it was moved by G. McMicken, Esq., and seconried by D. McArthur, Esq., "That Prof. Bryce be comndssioned to deal with Mr. C. J. Knrn with leference to bis bnilding, to be rented whm enlarged as proposed, for $600 per annum, for the period of two years. This motion was unanimously carried. GEORGE BRYCE, Secretary, pro tem^ nnipegi. of their herwiae BEFOET OF COMMITTEE ON AGED AND INFIRM MINISTERS' FUND. Your committee, in presenting their annual report, have to call the atten- tion of the Assembly to the fact that for th>* first time their expenditure exceeds their income. They were anxious to accumulate a small capital in order to enable them to give larger allowaiuies, and to provide against a period which thev saw must soon come unless the Church would take some decnled iiotion, when 1 he expendi n', would be in excess of the present income. This they regret has come. 'J'he number on the fund is growing steadily, and promises shortly to be very consiileralile ; while the expenses of living always in- creasing, the amounts given, always small, ar- becoming sensibly of leas value. Your wnnmittee deeply regret that the Church tna's so li,ditly the claims of that portion of her ministers who are m )re or less ineapaeitated for ministerial labour, and of the coni3;reg;itions to which some of those minister* as, may we not say, are trying to minister, but with failiu<» en»irgy and dinnnishing nsefulne,s.s. Some of our ministera do not even know that we get no share of tna payments made by minis ers to the Widows' Fund, and all the etlons your committee have made to get an increased inco ne have yer. met with no encour- agenumt from the Assemdy. Ymr commitren hope that this Assembly will take the matter properly in hand, and at all events give it a separate collectioa or allow it to ask lor one, and to do otheiwise as it may see cause iu order t« promote its objects. 98 APPENDIX, The committee, as directed hy ]ast Assembly, submitted to an actuary — Mr. Bamsay, of the Canada Life Assurance— the following questions : 1. How many ministers per hundred may be counted as likely to be on the fund ? 2. What income may be needed jjer hundred ministers ? 3. "What income would th»3 proposed rate afford ? and lastly, to give any information which he might deem of value to the proper management of the fund. The regulations which were sent to him were unchanged from last year, except that it was proposed that no payment of less than $160 be made, and that the scale rise from that amount at the rate of $10 a year after ten years, as proposed in the regulations of last year. Circumstances have prevented him giving hitherto the attention to the sub- ject which he judges necessary. Your comm ttee will, as soon as possible, make it known, if the Assembly allows, through the Record. Your committee have, in addition to the annuitants of last year, three new Barnes. The names jjf annuitants and rates of payment are as follows : — Mr. Smart, Brockville $200 Oft " Gordon, Gananoque .• 200 0* " Duff, Elora 200 00 " Fayette 200 0« " Coutts, Chingaucousy 200 00 Dr. Cairns 100 00 Mr. Melville 150 00 " Fotheringham 150 00 " Lochead 200 00 " Mackenzie. Embro 200 00 Principal Willis 400 00 Mr. Malcolm 140 00 •' Chcyne, Saltfleet, etc 200 0(1 $2540 00 One of these has not been long on the list. All the others have drawn about a year's income, some of them more, on account of back payments due at the time of their admission, so that the amount paid this year, including expenses, is actually $2696 67, while the income is only $2629 6. Your committee, in view of the increasing claims, think that even should not the rates of payment be increased, and should they be relieved of the p yment to Principal Willis, that they should not be asked to meet the demands of the curient year with a less income than $3,000. They would much prefer if they had an increase of $6,000, and permission to deal liberally by those on the roll, provided that in no case j-hould the grants exceed $400. Yonr committee, ?s directed V.y the lasv Assembly, paid Principal Willis the sum of $400, but they ask this Assembly to repay them this amount from the College Fund, because, 1st. This fund was originated and has been wrought hitherto expressly for minister's of congrega- tions ; and as the Principal was not pastor of a congregation in thU Church, he has no claim on it. 2. At the time when his retiring allowance was fixed, it was meant it should be a charge on the College Fund. 3. Though exceptional cases are by the regulat'ons of the fund reserved for the Assembly, it never was meant that the Assembly should be empowered to do more than merely to say who should be on it, wb>!e the rule has been to leave the committee to fix the allowance. 4. The Assen.'>>!y acted in any case in a most unusual manner, if not beyond its competency, in o'dering the committee to pay to the Principal out of its funds an amount equal to what anv two ministers get from it, and $100 beyond what the preseut regulations allow to be given to any one, how- evei necessitous his case may be. Your committee also resolved, while ordering that the sum of $140 per annura be paid to Mrs. Malcolm, to recommend that she he put on the Widows' Fund, and that the amount advanced to her be repaid by that Fund, and that she rank as if sh*; APPENDIX. 99 were a widow. Your committee have learned that there is a scheme on foot to raise a sum of money for her, and they do not feel called on td" interfere with any scheme of private benevolence, but they would rather the Assembly would put them in such circumstances as to enable tluni to deal with the whole case, so that if possible Mr. Malcolm might be provided for in the Asylum. Your committee were applied to by the Presbytery of Huron on behalf of Mr. Charles Fletcher, Goderich, and by the Presbytery of London on behalf of Mr. James Donaldson, Port Burwell. These cases, though widely different in their character, are both really clamant, but your committee were not able to deal with them, as they do not fall within the regulations, and therefore they refer them to the Assembly and ask its favorable consideration. If the Assembly allows, the committee are willing to give them a place on its roll. Your committee has also been asked to sanction a scheme for raising the sum of $2,000, this sum to bo invested, the interest devoted to the support of Mr. Carruthers, the capital at his death to fall into this fund. Your committee are favorably disposed to it, and Avill encourage it unless forbidden by the Assembly. Proposal Regulaf/ions of Aged and Infirm Ministcrai' Fuiid. 1. That no one shall .share in this fund who enters the mini'^try of this Church alter reaching the age of fifty. 2. That in order to have a claim on this fund, each minister who has $600 or under from professional employment, must h(!nccforth contribute yearly thereto fifty cents for every hundred dollars of said income, and each whose income exceeds $600 shall pay one dollar for every hundred. 3. That anyone who at the period of his settlement in a charge in this Church shall neglect to connect himself with this fund shall be dealt with as in arrears thereto. That for all arrenrs one-tenth additional nmst be paid, and that any one who for four years neglects to join, or having done so shall for that time again cease to pay, shall lose all interest in tlie fund, unless some solid cause is assigned, and that is certified to the committee by the Presbytery within whose bounds the person resides. Further, that notice be given to each before he is cut oti'; but that should the committee neglect to do so, that neglect does not prolong the defaulter's right. i. That no Presbytery shall accept of a resignation if, as the i„.sult thereof, an application is to be made to this committee, until due diligence has been used to get from the congmgation an allowance for the retiring minister, and the Presbytery shall, when making the application, satisfy the committee on this subject ere any grant is made. » 5. That each who is admitted shall, if he has served ten years or under, receive at the rate of $150 a year. If he has served over ten years, he shall receive at the rate of $10 in addition for ea'di year of said excess till the amount of $300 is reached. 6. That all ministers who serve 40 years, or till they have reached the age of 70, shall, if they retire in a proper and orderly way, receive the sum of $400 a year. 7. That each annuitant shall, at the beginning of April in each year, furnish the committee with a statement, certified by the clerk of his Presbytery, of the amount received by him on account of labour during the preceding year, and that no payment be made at that term till such statement is received, and that the committee may if they see cause diminish or withdraw the grant. 8. That if the income of the committee be not sufficient to meet the pHy- ments according to the scale here proposed, the coramiteee shall reduce them all at the same rate. 9. Exceptional cases referred for the consideration of the Assembly. J. McTAVISH, Convener. IOC APPBNDIX. ♦f m BRPORT or COMMITTEE ON WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND.
