SECRETARY'S REPORT. A. D. 1896. The Diocesan Church Society is about to celebrate its sixtieth anniversary, and the year now ended is not the least memorable among the years of the Society's history. The first thing that naturally claims our attention is the fact that the movement inaugurated ten years ago in the appointment of a joint committee of the Church Society and Synod to take into consideration the question of the amalgamation of the Society with the Synod has at length been consummated by the passing of an act at the last session of the provincial legislature, providing for the union of the two bodies. The first section of the act reads thus : " From and after the first day of January, 189.S, the Diocesan Church Society of New Brunswick shall be amalgamated with and merged in the Diocesan Synod of Fredericton, and shall cease to exist as a separate body or by a separate corporate name. In the month of January liast a special session of the Synod wa« held in the City of St. John, at which eleven new canons were agreed to. In these canons were incor- porated the rules and regulations at present governing the administration of the Diocesan Church Society, with such alterations, amendments and modifications as were deemed necessary or advisable in view of the amalgama- tion. 40 Ml m' 'lii'r 1.' * l'^:' 1f li.fi; PI t During the past year the Society has been called upon to mourn the loss of several of its older members, who have proved always its warm friends and generous sup- porters. Among these special reference should be made to Sir Leonard Tilley, who was for forty years a Vice- President of the Society, and at the time of his decease its senior life member ; to Dr. C. W. Weldon, of St. John, and to Mr. Edward H. Wilmot, of Fredericton, both of whom were life members and generous supporters of the Society. The statistical returns from the various parishes and missions for last year are encouraging, showing an increase of 346 communicants, and of about $9,750 in the amount of contributions for all Church purposes. The details of the work of the Society will be found in the reports sub- mitted by its various committees, and by the Board of Home Missions. The S. P. G. has lately announced & further reduction in the grant to this Diocese, and has issued a circular letter to the Bishops of the Church in Canada, stating that the grants made to their several dioceses will termin- ate at the expiration of the present century. In view of the fact that the funds at the disposal of the Society are insufficient at the present time for the maintenance of the services of the Church in all the parishes and missions, this announcement on the part of the Venerable Society is a matter of grave concern, and unless the self-sustaining parishes do more for the cause of Home Missions than they are doing to-day, we are face to face with a crisis that may result in seeing some of our rural churches with doors looked and windows boarded up, and the Church of England obliged to relinquish to other and more aggres- sive Christian bodies the ground she has hitherto occu- 41 pied. This ought not so to be ! Surely by earnest and united etfort so dire a calamity and so great a reproach to the Church of our forefathers may, under the provi- dence of Almighty God, be averted. The prospect of the Church in several of the newer missions is most encouraging, and the reports of the mis- sionaries in the older fields, that are appended, show that much earnest and faithful work has been done for Christ and the Church, ofttimes amidst great difficulties, and that upon the whole substantial progress has been made. During the year donations and bequests have come into the Society, amounting in the aggregate to upwards of $8,000. These are more particularly referred to in the reports of the Finance Committee. At the last meeting of the Executive Committee Mr. (Jeorge E. Fairweather, who for fifteen years has so ac- ceptably filled the position of treasurer of the Society, tendered his resignation, and the vacancy has been filled by the appointment of Mr. W. E. Smith of Fredericton as treasurer. Tne reports from the several parishes are appended. ADDINGTON — REV. JAMES SPENCER. In presenting this short report of the work of the Church, I would hke to say, first of all, that I have to thank God for His goodness in the many tokens of mercy manifested since I came to Campbellton, some four months ago. This report cannot con- \ey a correct idea of what the Parish of Addington is, because I am not sufficiently acquainted with it as yet, to give a full and proper account. Still I am able to speak most encouragingly and hopefully of the work there. The little town of Campbellton with its 3,000 inhabitants is, first, a centre of Roman Catholicism, then there is a large lK)dy of Presbyterians, who I ought to say have treated me very kindly. There is also a small body of Methodists and also some Baptists. .11! 42 Our own people are not very strong numerically, as can be readily seen, but there is room for growth and development, and such is going on. The river sections of the parish are Flatlands, Meta- pedia and Dawson ville, with several other small settlements. There is a new church finished and opened at Dawsonville and I hold service there every alternate Sunday. I hold service on my way home on one occasion at Flatlands, and on another at Glencoe, a back settlement, six miles from the railway. Each of these places is asked to take part in the work of the parish and to contribute, and they are already showing their willing- ness to do so. There are two Sunday-schools under my charge and theie are others of a mixed character, where I could not possibly carry one on for various reasons. The church at Dawsonville has V»een built chiefly by those gentlemen who come from the United States for salmon fishing. But others have also kindly assisted, but there is yet a small debt. The S. P. C. K. have assisted us in a very liberal way. We hope to have the church at Dawsonville consecrated during the autumn. The rectory at Campbellton has just been built; hitherto the rectors have had to board, but now I am glad to say I have been able to bring my family to Campbellton and we occupy the new rectory, not an elaborate building in any way. It has cost $1,200 dollars, half of which is paid now and more promised. 1 am glad that the D. C. S. has kindly renewed our grant, it will be needed for some time yet, until the rectory debt is paid and the parish church put in a state of good repair and some- what altered. I would here beg to express my sincere thanks to his Lordship the Bishop and to the people of Campbellton and others, for their kindness and encouragement since I came to this diocese in March last. There have been about 100 services held by me since my arrival. The whole parish, both in the town and up the river, has been twice visited, and I have tried to find out every person who ought to be in the Church. Commending myself and the work in this parish unto the care of the Great Shepherd of tlu' sheep with an earnest prayer for His blessing, I beg to submit these few remarks to the D. C. S. of N. B. 43 CAMBRIDGE- REV. A. J. A. GOLLMER. It iH with feelings of gratitude und thankfulness that I pre- sent my second annual report from this parish. Peace and harmony dwell in our midst. The work has l»een kept up regu- larly, although last winter's storms somewhat hindered it at times— one storm after another happening on Sundays. While several have left our favoured land and sought employ- ment in the sister country, yet others have joined the Church to fill their places. We are glad to be able to report that the building of the new rectory is progressing towards completion. We have something like 6400 yet to pay, which we hope to do with the aid of friends and the Board of Home Missions later on, not forgetting our own exertions as well. It has been an arduous work, taking up a good deal of my time, but it was most necessary. I am pleased to report that the churches and cemeteries are kept in good order and repair as befits such places dedicated to the service of (iod and the repose of our departed ones. I have baptized fifteen infants and one adult ; married three couples and buried four. Amongst those who have died was Cyrus Manly Wiggins, our devoted and much esteemed church- warden. He was ever ready to use himself to the best of his ability for the benefit of St. Luke's Church, Waterborough, and will be greatly missed. W^e are thankful to be able to mention that we have secured in his place our w .by and popular phy- sician, T. J. O. Earle, M. D., whose presence is welcome in every home. Another member departed this life, Saiah Huestis, at the remarkable age of 102 yeais ; she had outlived her own generation. The work at Coal Creek, Chipman, is still being undeiiaken. Two very successful services were held at my last visit, no less than ten persons partaking of the Lord's Supper. W^e are all looking forward this year with eagerness to the visit of his lordship the Bishop to hold the sacred rite of con- firmation. There are several anxious to be admitted into full membei-ship, and we trust his Lordship will be able shortly to spare some of his valuable time to cheer up our faithful people, and by words of counsel and wisdom encourage others to make a firm stand for the Church in the midst of much opposition. When we hear of blessings being showered down upon city parishes through the holding of Missions, we often wish that this privilege might be ours also. Why are we in the country left !t i ' f 1 ■pi- ■ 1 ' '■ '^ I i ' 1 i f 1 i lit: 1 „; ■ 1 ! ■ 1 ' 1 ■ ! [ 11 ■ ■ !

Cannot the Church send forth wise, godly, earnest ambassadors of the Cross to make special efforts to arouse men to newness of life, and stir up both priest and people to do their duty witli more earnestness. We would welcome such into our parishes. May the great Head of the Church supply her need. CAMPOBELLO — REV. W. H. STREET, B.A. During the spring we had the privilege of a visit from the Bishop of the diocese. On the morning of the Sunday after Ascension day, twenty-eight candidates were confirmed at the parish church of St. Ann, — fifteen males and thirteen females. In the afternoon his Ijordship visited an invalid, who, to her great comfort and joy, received in her sick room the holy ordi- nance of *' the laying on of hands," making in all twenty-nine who, on that day, received the " holy gift." I find the spring a season most opportune for the gathering of candidates for confirmation. We were, therefore, most thank ful that the Bishop consented to come at that time ; though I am convinced it was at the sacrifice of much ease and comfort, so numerous were his engagements for that month. Just before the confirmation, one of my parishioners, who had hoped to avail himself of the privilege, was compelled to go to the hospital at St. John and undergo a very severe operation. It was successfully performed. He is now at home again, and speaks most gratefully of the Bishop's visits to him at the hos- pital, when his Lordship passed through the city on his return from Campobello. He referred also to the kind attention of Archdeacon Brigstocke and meml)er8 of Trinity Church. The fund for the Church-house and Sunday-school, in memory of the late Sister Portia, is not yet sufficient to justify the com- mencement of the building. The members of the '* Sewing Guild," who have already done so much for Church work, are working hard and unitedly for this object, and preparing for the usual annual sale, which is always generously patronized by our American guests. The means of the inhabitants of this island have, for some years back, been very much limited. The long winter is passed without employment — a season of the year, at one time, most profitable to the fishermen, but alas ! no longer so. We have to thank some kind friends for practical sympathy in our struggle 45 to carry on this memorial, viz., Mrs. Medle}', Mrs. Holnnson Owen, Mrs. Dowling, and a lady friend of the late Sister Portia residing in New York. Yet we have only in hand l)etween three and four hundred dollars. We have lost a kind and valued friend in the person of the late Mrs. Robinson Owen, the former owner of this island, whose death occured in the month of May last after a short illness at " Hesse," Hull, England. When crossing the Atlantic seven- teen years ago she did not anticipate the fact that she would never return to the scenes of her earlier life. But it has Iwen otherwise ordered. Yet her heart was over here, and sh . never ceased to evince the warmest interest in all that concerned the welfare of her Island home. She was a life long contributor to the funds of the Church Society, and to her the little Church of St. Ann is indebted for many valued gifts. A memorial service was held, when the "communion of .saints" came especially before us, as we lovingly dwelt on the memory of one dear to us all, now at rest in Paradise. CHATHAM — REV. CANON FORSYTH, B.A. The most noteworthy event in our parochial history during the past year was the re-opening of St. Mary's Chapel for public worship on August 6th, after having been closed for repairs and improvements in the interior. An octave of .services was held on that interesting and happy occasion, which was within a few etter in due time to arise and build. Our people have been mindful, both by prayers and alms, to rememl)er our suffering brethren of Armenia, and on Easter day contributed twenty-five dollars towards their relief. Trinity Church Guild, under the presidency of Mrs. J. B. Forster, continues to prove a valuable parish help. Indeed much of the best work that has been done in the parish must be referred })ack to its operation. For thirty-eight years Mr. Justice Hanington has superin- tended the Sunday-school, contributing freely both of his time and his means ; and we continue to be his debtor. I am glad to be able to report increased attendance at the school. We are looking forward to a confirmation visit from his liordship the Bishop at an early day, and we anticipate there- from much help and encouragement. Our people are all well abreast of the steps taken towards the amalgamation of the Society with the Synod ; and, when the change does come into operation, they will have no difficulty in recognizing and supporting their old friend the D. C. S. in the new role of the Home Mission Board of the Synod. The Society is debtor to Mrs. H. W. Palmer, Mrs. M. G. Teed and Mrs. L. A. McGrath for their services as collectors for several years past. Our contribution to the General Purposes Fund for the year 1896-7 will be over $200. 4H GAGETOWN -^ REV. N. C. HANSEN, MA. ! 1^ The past year has lieen an unusually quiet one with us, and there is in conseijuenee very little to report. Even death has been less busy than in former years, though we have met with some losses, the greatest of which was that of Miss Nellie Mc- Kenney, who was a teacher in our Hunday-school, a devout com- municant, and an exemplary Christian in every way. Reqniescat in pace ! Looking over the register I find that during the few years that I have l)een rector of this parish there have been fifty deaths and thirty-eight removals, making a total of eighty-eight who are no longer with ua. It follows, in a parish like ours, that there is a marked difference in the congregation, especially as many of them were our most regular church attendants, who were present at the week-day as well as at the Sunday services, and their places have lieen filled with people of other denomina- tions. Amid these depressing 'facts, we are glad to be able to report that the number of. children in our Sunday-school is steadily increasing despite the fact that there have been sevei il removals here also. In fact our building is getting too small to hold the children comfortably. We are hoping against hop« that when they grow up, a fair proportion will remain amone raised. The Bishop has notified us that he intends to visit us m October, and although it is not quite two years since he was '' '!■ 4D with us for confinimt'on, we hope to hv able to present a fair clasH a;;ain.

C S. emain amonj; (iHANl) MANAN REV. W. S. COVEUT, RA. The exterior walls of the Church of the Ascension at North Head were painted and other improvements made during the past year at a cost of about seventy dollars. The improvements in the interior of the parish churcli, St. Paul's, have cost about seven hundred dollars. Of this sum aUiut fifty dollars have heen ^iven by friends in St. John, Fredericton and elsewhere ; five hundred liave lH?en made up cm Grand Manan. A debt of one hundred and fifty dollars renuiins, but is likely to be paid within the coming year. The line and trawl fishermen at North Head have had a hard year. One result is that the clergyman's salary is nearly one (piarter in arrears. Eleven persons have been confirmed, and the numl)er of communicantH has been consicierably increased. The offertories and Sunday-school collections, apart from local purposes, have been twenty-two dollars and fifty cents. GLADSTONE AND BLISS VILLE DIBBLEE, M.A. REV. H. E. Mr. H. A. Thomas writes : The work in these two places has been carried on for about a year and a half. The first service.s were held in a private house, and since in the public halls — kindly loaned for the purpose. The congregations have been good, and from eighteen to twenty-eight have remained after service for instruction. Two adults and eight children were baptized, and three adults were being prepared for baptism, I and some twelve candidates were being prepared for confirmation. [Nineteen services were held at Gladstone, and three or four at lilissville. The collections amounted to $.*J9.09. Twenty-five 50 (lollarN was paid for an oi^an and alHiiit t<'ii dollars more for lamps, etc. This was the result up to I>e('enil»er last. Hev. Mr. Dihhlee, the clergyman in charge, could spare hut little time from his re;^ular work in Mau^erville and Burton. Kaeh visit involved a drive from Maugerville to Fredericton, a trip l>y rail to the Junction, and a return the following day. Under the circumstances the result is encourajfin^. Illness in Mr Dibhlee's family, and later his own serious illness, has hindered the work. Hut services have been held, through the kindness of clergymen from Fredericton and St. John. A place of worship is a neces- sity, and steps have been taken with that end in view, Quite an amount of timber has been jL'ot out : nearly i?100 have been collected, or promised ; and labor has lieen offered. Tt is hoped that as the circumstances and nfee- of the Anglican communion remaining in the district. The spiritual work in the whole parish is not what it ouglii to be : not what I would have it l)e; and not what I hope it may be in the future. Baptism I have administered to twenty-foui infants and five adults — total, twenty-nine ; and confirmation Ijestowed on eighteen males and eighteen females — total, thirt}- six — by the Lord Bishop on the twenty-first of May. Holy Communion celebrated monthly at mid-day on Sundaj'.s, and greater festivals ; early communion generally twice monthh. In the autumn, a glorious missionary meeting was held at 51 lOTv for , Urv.

KINGSCLEAR — REV. H. MONTGOMERY, M. A. There are but few matters of importance from this parish )r the past year. The chief event of the year was the visit of is Ijordship the Bishop of the diocese to the parish on Whitsun- ly last, when ten male and six female candidates were presented the sacred rite of confirmation, most of whom are preparing }r admission as communicants. m 52 1 :, !|s' We have also had a meeting of the Fredericton Sunday-school Teachers' Association with a special service for the teachers, af tei which a meeting was held at the rectory, addresses being given by both clergy and laymen. This has had the eflFect of stirring up greater interest in Sunday school work. Indeed we hav» never had a more flourishing Sunday-school than at the present time. We are also indebted to that venerable and generous society, the S. P. C. K., for a grant of books to our Sunday school library. We are also deeply indebted to the kindness ot a friend of the late Rev. J. Frederic Carr, sometime rector of the parish, for a memorial gift of one hundred and sixty dollars towards the endowment fund of the parish. For this and many other tokens of favor and good- will we feel deeply grateful. There are signs of spiritual growth and development in the parish which, under God's blessing, we hope may continue anil flourish, not only for the encouragement of your missionary, but for the greater honour and glory of the great Head of the Churcli ill LUDLOW AND BLISSFIELD REV. H. MONTGOMERY, M. A. The chief event to report from this mission is the consecration of St. John the Evangelist's Church at Lower Ludlow on Sun day the first day of September last. It was a glorious day for this part of the mission, though somewhat saddened by the death of one of the oldest and most esteemed parishioners wlid had taken a deep interest in the building of this church. His great desire was to live to see it consecrated, and once more, as he said, " to see the face of our d«^ar Bisho'p." But as the tiiiio drew near for the consecration he said, " God's will is otherwise. I shall never live to see the little church consecrated ;" and sm it was. On the day V)efore the consecration service he wa- called to his rest in Paradise. A faithful, loyal Churchman in whose house the late Rev, James Hudson held regular monthh j services. Needless to say I miss very much the assistance ami the influen«;e of this worthy parishioner. Nevertheless he Im^ left behind him worthy sons who, I believe, are endeavourinju t"! fill their father's place. In the afternoon of the day of the consecration nine caml dates were presented to his Lordship for the laying on of hand As an indication of the spiritual growth of the Churdi iij this part of the mission we had at the last service which I In'' 53 eijiht there a few weeks ago, seventeen toninninic}:: Mr mention " here, Mr. Dibblee undertook new and arduou; \\ t for the Church at P'redericton Junction and Blissville, dtscant twenty miles or more from Oromocto, and had met with much encouragement, leading him to hope that he would soon be able to build a church jiear the Junction. Unhappily, in the midst of his work, he was suddenly stricken down by a severe attack of pneumonia, and having been taken to the hospital at Freder icton, has been lying there in a somewhat precarious state for many weeks. He is now slowly improving, and it will be tho earnest wish of us all that he may be soon restored to his former health and vigor to resume once more his faithful work. In the meantime the Sunday services at Maugerville, Oromocto, and Lower Burton are, with the Bishop's hearty sanction, attendeil to by the writer of this report, who, however, cannot undertake the rector's work in the outlying stations of Victoria, RusI gornish, the Junction, and Blissville. There is no reason to suppose there will be any falling off in the contributions to the Society's funds this year. MONCTON — REV. E. B. HOOPER, M.A. The report which I herewith present, very much resembUs. in the facts recorded, the report of last year from this parish. The several branches of Church work have been diligently attended to, and a careful and anxious scrutiny of results afford 55 ence of the ;an be pre- re no doubt illness, and piril .' selj- 'hovi^'- '''\* rduou; ^^ ^ ville, aistant t witb much soon be abU- in the midst jevere attack ial at Fiedei ous state for t will be the to his former vork. In the )roraocto, an* tion, attende.l ^ot undertaVt' Victoria, Bust M.A. irround for thankfulness and the renewal of determined effort. The congregations at tlie regular Sunday services have not in- creased- those at the week day services have improved, and the number of ct>mmunions made during the year has also increased. The parish register shows twenty-one baptisms ; four marriages ; six burials. On the 7th of July last, twenty-one candidates were presented to the Bishop for the laying on of hands. We are looking for- ward to a visit from the Bishop on the thirteenth of this mtmth, when another class fully as large as that of last year, will we hope be presented for the same holy rite. We feel very much gladdened by the continued good work of the Sundaj'-school. The average attendance keeps up well, and the teachers are to be commended for their earnest and painstaking labours. We regret that owing to ill health, our valued superintendent, Mr. J. H. Wran, has been prevented from attending to his duties, which for years he has discharged with unremitting zeal. St. George's Guild has made satisfactory progress under the presidentship of Mrs. D. S. McManus, who, by her self-sacrificing attention to the interests of the organization, has endeared herself to its members, and has materially advanced its objects. A considerable sum has been earned by the Guild towards the new school house which is greatly needed. The " Willing Workers" have temporarily suspended active work ; but we hope that in the fall they will resume their labors which have been associated intimately for years past with the material interests and welfare of the Church in this parish. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew have worked (|uietly and well : and their work has had decidedly good results. T am htippy to be able to report the addition to our parochial organization of a branch of the *' Gleaner's Union," with a very satisfactory and constantly increasing membership. The object of the Union is to foster and spread an intelligent and active interest in the missionary work of the Church. Miss Theal is the enthusiastic and painstaking secretary of our parochial band of "Gleaners." Financially, we are in this parish rather heavily weighted. We depend entirely upon the voluntary offerings of our people, Sunday by Sunday; and having lost several generous contributors and supporter-s of the Church, we have almost as nmch as we can do to raise sufficient funds for the maintenance >f parochial ministrations. We have again been obliged to How the work of securing funds for a new church to remain in i)eyance. I cannot at this time report any contributions 56 towards the general putposes of the D. C. S. V)eyond the " Self Denial " offerings of the Sunday school to the Children's Mission Fund of some .1J40.00. I do hope, however, before September, to have some further oontiibutions to remit for the general pur- poses. I desire to record, in conclusion, the unciualified satisfac- tion and pleasure experienced by my people and myself in the meeting of the Society in Moncton in July last. Much good resulted to us, we feel assured, through the intimate association with our fellow-churchmen from all parts of the province which the meeting here naturally occasioned. I know I am voicing the sentiments of my congregation when I say that we shall be glad to have the annual meeting of 'the Society again in Moncton, whenever it may be deemed convenient to meet here. NEWCASTLE AND NELSON — REV. P. G. SNOW. .«,;! i:i| The connection of the Rev. J. H. S. Sweet with the Parish of Newcastle after many years of useful work ceased in Septem- ber last. I, having been appointed his successor, took charge on " All Saints' Day," 1895, and in presenting this, my first report, from the Parish of Newcastle and Nelson, I am thankful to be able to make a very satisfactory one. On my arrival I received a very hearty Welcome from my people, and have since had the hearty co-operation of all in lending an earnest helping hand to the work of the parish in the interest of true religion and for the growth of the kingdom of God. Such help is very cheering and lul.l of encouragement. In December a sale of work was held under the auspices of the Young Women's Guild of St. Andrew, when the handsome sum of $130 was netted ; $80 was given to the wardens to pay off an old debt incurred in repairing the rectory. The Young Women's Guild is doing all in its power individually and collec- tively for the good of our church. By their sewing work, and efforts in other directions to procure funds for the embellishment and renovation of God's temple in this parish, they show theii love to God's house by works rather than words. At the annual meeting Mrs. Harley, an indefatigable worker, was elected president ; Mrs. Shaw, vice president ; Mrs. Ritchie, treasurer, and Miss Thomson, secretary. After a brief address from th<" rector, who heartily commended the work of the Guild, and wished it abundant success in the future, refreshments provided 57 by Mrs. Snow were handed round and the meeting closed. At Easter a sale of work was held by the Sunday-school girls for the purpose of raising funds to purchase books for th»» Sunday-school librarj'. The handsome sum of thirty-two dollars was handed to the rector by these little church workers. A sale of work is being inaugurated at Nelson by the ladies of St. Mark's Church to finish the interior of the little church and to furnish a bell. Since our Easter meeting steps have been taken to improve our churchyard at Newcastle ; the iron fence around the ground is to l)e painted and the walks through the graveyard renewed. During the past two months the church and Sunday-school room have been painted at a cost of $200, and other improve- ments effected externally and internally, upon which work our committee are to be highly complimented. These improvements were very much needed and add greatly to the beauty of the locality. But while material work is progressing, the spiritual work is not allowed to languish. I sincerely trust that our people ate as zealously striving to adorn the doctrine of G(xl their Saviour l)y V»eautifying the temple not made with hands as they are to beautify His visible temple and all things pertaining thereto. The season of Lent has been well observed outwardly, and we trust that the outward observance has resulted in a definite advance in the spiritual life of our people. A weekly service was held at Nelson on Thursday evenings during Lent. In addition to the special services held in the church at Newcastle, a Bible class was held at the rectory every Tuesday evening. A preparation class for the Easter communion was also held, when all were exhorted to pffer their Lenten resolu- tions to Christ at the Holy Eucharist. ' Nearly one-fourth of the Church members are communicants ; while we are thankful for this fact, we feel there is room for a great increase. Our aim is, every confirmed person a faithful communicant, and for this we shall not cease to make intercession. Our Sunday-school, under the superintendence of Mr. J. G. Kethro, is very satisfactory ; quite a numbt^r of scholars have Ijeen added during the past two months. The teachers number eight, and the regularity of their attendance and the general interest shown in their work is most praiseworthy. Children's services and catechising are held every third Sun- day in the month at the church at 3 p. m. The Sunday-school at Nelson, which was closed during the winter months, resumed MlW % 58 work again in May. Mrs. Thos. Ambrose and Miss Annie Flett are the teachers. In preparation for the Episcopal visitation, which will take place about the middle of July, candidates for confirmation at Newcastle and Nelson are under regular instruction three times a week. On the occasion of the first deanery meeting for this year held at Chatham, I ventured to offer a few suggestions on the best method of deepening and widening the spiritual life of the members of the Church in our deanery. Various branches of the subject were dealt with as time permitted. A desire was expressed for greater freedom in the mode of conducting the services during our deanery meetings. I am glad to say that an effort in this direction was made at our last meeting held at Newcastle. A missionary service with stirring addresses on the work of the Church at home and abroad was held at Nelson, the immediate results of which were most encouraging. The unflagging attention with which the congregation listened to the instruction given, and the earnest resolutions since made to me of amendment of life, afford ground for hope that through the Divine blessing permanent impressions for good have been made in many hearts. There is one other feature worthy of note, especially with a view to future woik in this parish. Anyone not acquainted with the lumber industry on the Miramichi would be surprised to see so many large ships in the port of Newcastle. I have visited (juite a number, and have always received a hearty wel- come from men and officers. In some cases I have distributed a few tracts and pamphlets among the men, for which they seemed very grateful. One man, the captain of a large ship from Liverpool, England, said : " I have been coming to the Miramichi two and three times a year for the past ten years, and you are the first clergy man who has ever been on board my vessel this side of the Atlantic." Our sailors have many claims on public sympathy, and they also need the Church's fostering care. We have at times a number of Norwegians in port, but 1 have not been able to give them a service, as I cannot speak their language, yet they are always pleased to see me. I brin;^' forward this matter now in my report in the hope that some friends might be found who would be willing to send me 8om«' l>ooks, papers, etc., for distribution. We cannot tell the result of such work, but I feel sure it will be the means of saving som<' 69 from the many and ^reat dangers of their adventurous life. Careless though many of them are, yet they are grateful for any kindness that may be shown to them. T ask for your prayers, that a blessing may rest on this work, as well as upon all the ordinary work of this parish. W DENMARK ::V. C. E. MAINMANN. In submitting this my first report, I deem it not only right })ut also apostolic to begin with thanksgiving. I am thankful for the considerate kindness with which my family and myself have been received liy the Ijv>rd Bishop, the clergy, and laity. My labors in Drummond parish began Feb- ruary 16, 1896. I was happy to be again amongst my country- men ; and be it said to their credit, I have no cause for regret on their account. I am glad to state to the Society that in St. Ansgar's Church we have a congregation of devoted Church people of whom you need not be ashamed, but can expect much encouragement and joy, and the people are in all respects entitled to your kind and generous consideration. Though many of my countrymen have a very limited knowledge of the Church and her ways, they are most willing to learn, and as they learn will become more strongly attached to the Church. Allow me to mention one thing in this connection to illustrate what I have said of my people's devotion to the Church. On St. Philips and St. James' day. Rev. Mr. Scovil Neales came here for a celebration in St. Ansgar's. I did not expect twenty people to church that morning, as it was one in a busy season of the year. But the church was well filled, and fifty persons communicated. On June 8th, his Lordship consecrated a cemetery at Foley Brook, the north district of New Denmark. It was truly gratifying to see with what care this Necropolis had been prepared for consecration, and the services were most impressive. On June 9th, his Lordship confirmed a class of thirty young people in St. Ansgar's Church (fifteen male and fifteen female). From early morning till after services were ended, the rain came down in torrents, but from far and near the people came, filling the church to its utmost capacity, and 110 persons com- municated. The people declared it one of the most impressive confirmation services ever held in the parish. At the con- clusion of the services an addiess was presented to his Ijordship 60 by the vestry clerk on behalf of the people, expressing their deepfelt appreciation to his Lordship foi his kindness to the people and exertions in finding them a clergyman. I must now say a few words regarding the church building and new rectory. St. Ansgar's church is about half finished. The main entrance is in a rude condition and has been used as a woodshed. The vestry rooms were unfinished when I came. At the fiist service I was compelled to stand in snow, wind and cold to put on my vestments. In the chancel was no lectein, no Danish Bible. No steps to the pulpit. The church was veiy unchurchly. I am glad to state, however, that some improvements have been made. Through his Lordship's efforts $50.00 were sent me from the Woman's Aid Association. V/ith this amount I finished the vestry-rooms. From Mrs. Medley I received a beautiful lectern and com- munion linen. From the Young Woman's Guild of Trinity Church, St. John, a fair linen cloth. From Col. Chas. W. Ray- mond, of Woodstock, a handsome prayer desk. From Mrs. Rainsford, Grand Falls, $20.00. Greatly have these gifts aided in beautifying the church ; and we are all thankful. But many things are yet needed to make the church what it ought to be. And I have the confidence and hope, that fiiends in the diocese will continue to remember this struggling parish. The new rectory. — It is with considerable anxiety we look forward to the coming winter, if a house is not built for us this summer. Our experience of last winter was such, that wo have reason to urge this work on. My people have realized the situation and unitedly have gone to work to put up a bliilding ; but unless we receive help from our friends we cannot finish the rectory. I have received many encouraging words and promises, and trust by autumn to have a house in which we shall not be compelled to stay up long winter nights keeping up fire to save ourselves from freezing. Besides New Denmark, I give services to Grand Falls and St. liConard's. In the first named place the "work is not so encouraging as it might have been ; but I hope to see some progress made this year. St. Leonard's is an encouraging field. I have only been able to give the people four services. These have been well attended, and on June 6th his Lordship confirmed six candidates from this place in All Saints Church, Grand Falls. 61 With sincere thankfulness to Almighty Gwl for grace and strength given to carry on my work, and deepfelt appreciation for kindness received from friends of the Church, especially to Kev. iScovil Neales, of Andover, for his self-sacrificing services, praying God will bless ail eftbrts put forth hy the Church people of this diocese for the advancement of His glory and the good of His Church. I submit this my first report. NEW MAllYLAND — REV. H. F. E. WH ALLEY. There past year. re to save is but little to record from this mission during the The most notable event was the visit of the Right Reverend the I^ord Bishop of the Diocese on the nineteenth Sunday after Trinity (Octol)er 20th, 1895), when fourteen young people received the holy rite of confirmation, all of whom, with two or three exceptions, have become regular communicants. One service has been held each Sunday, with two exceptions, during the year. There was also a service on Christmas day, Gootl Friday and Ascension day, which were well attended. The congregation numWrs geneially from thirty to forty people. The Sunday-school is well attended, although there is room for improvement in this respect. My parochial visits, owing to circumstances over which I had no control, have not been as frecjuent or as regular as I could wish. Part of the fence round the churchyard has received a fresh coat of paint. The church itself needs painting, but we have no funds with which to do it, and therefore I fear itu'will have to face another winter in its present thin and worn-out coat. Our offertories for extra parochial purposes during the year amounted to §12.85. Our thanks are due to Mr. Geo. F. Wright, of Fredericton, for his services at the organ and assistance in the Sunday-school. NORTON — REV. C. P. HANINGTON, B.A. The fact that this parish has become self-supporting has practically added to the funds of the Society a sum equal to two or three hundred dollars a year, which, being no longer paid to Norton, can now be paid towards the maintenance of Church services in poorer parishes,. But the Church people of Norton, although they are now raising for Church purposes in the parish a larger amount than they have ever previously raised, yet feel I •: \i 62 that in tuldition to relieving the Society of the ^nint, which the parish has received until hitely, it is their duty to contribute dii-ectly, year after year, towards the funds of the Society, even if, for a while, the contributions he not very lar^e. About twenty dollars have been subscril)ed so far towards the General Purposes Fund, but proViably a few dollars more will l>e sub- scribed l)efore the Heport for the year is printed. In addition to this amount, about twenty-tour dollars have l>een contributed by the parish since October towards other special objects' outside the parish, the Synor a nund)er of years past, the Church at Welsford has gone by the name of St. Luke's. On reference, however, to the book of the late Bishop Medley's acts, it appears it was consecrated by the name of St. Anne. Here is a discrepancy which can only be solved by those who are yet living and who were present at its consecration some forty years ago. liut if a few years are allowed to pass, such facts can never be regained. Durirtg the past year we experienced a very sari and striking death in our midst. A young lady, Miss Essie WocmIs, confirmed some four years ago, and who had since become a fre«|uent com- municant, while looking forward to the estate of marriage, Wfis suddenly stricken with a peculiar form of despondency. After all the preparations for the marriage were complete, she gradually seemed to succumb more and more to the fatal sickness. In three short months, from perfect health and being apparently one who would enjoy life to its fullest e.xtent for many years to come, she surrendered her life at the call '»f Him who gave it. Her funeral was the largest I ever saw in this parish, seventy-five sleigh loads of people were present, so great was the sympathy of the community for the l)ereaved family. These mysterious dispensations of God's providences are parts of his ways which only a future life can explain. We are expecting the Bishop to hold confirmation here in July. I am trying to get this rite held every two years, so that whether our numbers are larger or smaller, it may be continually going on in our midst. We can thus get hold of oar young people before they go off to other places where the ministrations of our Church may not be so frequent or readily obtained. The 64 young an* the hope of the future, and it is to them that our efforts must be chieHy directed. 1 am glad to testify to a greater spirit of reverence in the house of (ji(m1, and the old yet ever new story of Christ's love falls upon attentive ears. May the Spirit of Truth hring it home to many a heart und conscience ! PRINCE WILLIAM AND DUMFRIES a. F. SCOVIL. REV. This parish is now filled by the appointment of the Rev. G. F. Scovil as missionary in charge. Mr. Wm. Henry, jr., vestry clerk, has forwarded a subscription list for 1H95, amount- ing in all to .$40.7'), which appears in its place in this annual repers of the Church exercise more self-denial in tlie futu;c* than they have done in the past. It is to be hoped that they may find the means to continue the ministrations of the Church in tliis n.-ssion, as has been the case during the past four years, for -'le elo.si''g of ihis mission would prove disastrous to the interestH of the '/'hurch. SACKVILLE AND HAIE VERT}-; REV. C. F. W KUJINS. cregation, a 1 am unable at the time of writing to state definitely the amount of our contributions to Home Missions this year, but feel confident that they will be in excess of t^iose of last year. The serious conditions which affecte(J this parish and threatened its life last year have been somewhat improved by the action of the Board of Home Missions in placing the adjoining mission of IJaie Verte under the charge of the rector of this parish. T visit each station of this joint mission regularly once a montli, anr and wise directi )L of Mr. Harris (who was hitherto in charge of the mission), is now beginning to bear rich fruit, and the awak- ening interest in the Church is very marked and continuous. The beautiful little church at Tidnish, built and furnished by Mr. Harris, is generally filled, mostly with men, although there are really only two families belonging to the Church in this por- tion of the parish. At Baie Verte, the centre of interest at present is the building of a new church, which we hope to have finished on the outside this autumn, although the corner stone is not yet laid. The work in Sackville is going on. The improved r' ! 1 i'^' %' ; i :;■, J* ; ( ,i f ' came to us from St. George on August 28th ; consecrated a churchyard at the Church of the Transfiguration, St. Patrick : confirmed thirteen candidates, and stopping on the road to tlic rectory confirmed two others, a man m the last stage of con- 67 sumption, and a man in his seventy-ninth year who had been baptized by the first rector of St. Andrews ; part of the remain- ing journey (sixteen miles) was made in a pouring rain. The next day his Lordship confirmed nine candidates at the Church of the Ascension, St. David, some of whom have since l)ecome communicants. The congregation attending tliis church has quite outgrown its seating capacity, and tVie problem now is how to enlarge without destroying the proportions of the church building. The parish church of St. Patrick having become somewhat dilapidated, the parishioners at the last Easter meet- ing resolved to restore it. With commendable promptitude, work was shortly after commenced, and on the second Sunday after Trinity we had the privilege of worshipping in a practi- cally new church. The walls and roof are ceiled with matched spruce, oiled and varnished. The chancel window has been altered and filled with improved glass, a new chancel arch has \>een erected, the tower repaired, and all at a cost not exceeding i?340.00. Much gratuitous work was done by the young men, and the needful funds are being raised by the Ladies' Aid Society. ST. GEORGE AND PENNFIELD -REV. R.E.SMITH, M. A. Since my last report St. George and Pennfield parishes have been doing about the same work as usual. As a rule, I hold thice services every Sunday. The I^enten services were largely attended, especially those held in Holy Week. I held a weekly Bible class during Lent under the auspices of the Brother- hood of St. Andrew with an attendance of between thirty and fforty. I have 127 names on my conmiunicants' roll. There were thirty-two persons confirmed on August 2r)th by our Bishop, jwhen large and attentive congregations were present, and we Ihope to have another confirmation this autumn, if the Bishop lean come to us. Baptisms twenty two. T have commenced a monthly service on Sundaj' at the sura- j^ner residencs of Mr. Harris, on Lake Eutopia. He belongs to ■ ew York and is a strong churchman, and is much interested in her work. He and his excellent lady took a good deal of pains |n converting their large sitting-room into a temporary chapel. he St. George choir conducted the singing, which was very learty. The people in the neighborhood who find it difficult, )wing to distance, to attend church, were present, besides many 68 ti^'i :i; -^ from St. (Jeorge and Pennfield. My churchwarden brought quite a numlw;r in his l)oat from St. (Jeorge, and many cam< from Pennfield. We must have had sixty or seventy present, and all seemed to enjoy the service "by the lake." After tht blessing Mr. Harris addressed the people, telling them how pleased he was to have his summer home used for a religious service. In the evening I returned to St. (ieorge, just in time for a service, and found a large congregation assembled in St Mark's Church. I had held morning service in Pennfield with over thirty communicants. We have a good Sunday-school in each parish. In Pennfield they have just spent some twenty-five dollars for a Sunday-school library. The money was collected by an earnest wjorker, Mrs. George Dunbar. In St. George we depend upon our g'anite industry, ami sometimes we are up and sometimes we are down. The youni,' men attend the services in large numbers. In Pennfield, especially during the summer months, I have a large congregation awaiting my arrival on Sunday. They keep their church very clean and in good order, and at very little expense, doing the work themselves. Our "Willing Workers" of St. George have placed a hand some fence about the rectory, which adds much to its appearancf. 'Our contributions will at least be equal to that required (tf us by the Diocesan Chuich Society. Thus we are getting on, ebb and ilow, up and down, still forging ahead, we hope — striving to lay the foundation of our dear old Church on good sound Church principles. The tide, \ve| know, is bound to come in, and cannot be stopped. ST. JOHN — VEN.

MARTINS — REV. A. A. SLIPPER. In reviewing my work in this parish during the past year, it seems to me that in spite of many drawbacks I have reason to be thankful for such signs of activity and progress as are shown by the work done. The services of the Church have been regu- larly held in Holy Trinity, St. Martins, and the out stations, viz.: Tynemouth Creek and Greer Settlement; and if one may judge by the continued good attendance throughout the year, the interest in the Church has, at least, been maintained, and I trust considerably increased. In my report, last year, I said I was afraid that we should be compelled to seek outside pecuniary assistance to enable us to put some necessary repairs on the rectory. Mrs. Robert Carson, first of all, canvassed the parish and collected the sum (»f .$39.30 (including $6.85 contributed by our branch of the Women's Aid Association). She then did some begging outside the parish, and it was not in vain, for Mrs. Medley, of Freder- icton, cheerfully contributed the sum of $10.00. Mr. John Robertson, of St. John, gave fifty pounds of white lead and half a keg of shingle nails, Mr. W. H. Thorne gave fifty pounds of white lead, and Messrs. McAvity gave one hundred pounds of white lead in response to Mrs. Caisson's appeal. I nmst here [acknowledge our sincere thanks to Mrs. Medley, Mr. John : Rol)ertson, Mr. W. H. Thorne, and Messrs. McAvity for their kindness. We got new storm windows for the rectory and had U)ne side of the roof shingled, and the hall, upstairs and down, ! 'i f . r. li iifi I 1 a,' I.. i./\''' ' ' ^J^i \ ..i.i! lici ■' yM' P''^"' ill:: 'p "■'*' 1: '^' ■ i(!„ 70 newly papered. We hope to use the lead at once for painting the rectory, as our (iuild (a new organization since last year), has become responsible for the tarring of the roof and the painting of the rectory. On the Tuesday evening li)efore Lent, the heart of the rector was cheered by the arrival of a donation party, neaded by Mr. James Rourke, who read an address setting forth their high estimation of their rector, and begging him to accept the accom- panying well-filled purse as a slight token of their appreciation of his work amongst them. A guild has been formed with the following objects : " The objects of this Guild shall be the bringing together of the members of the congregation, their moral, spiritual and intellectual improvement, and the promotion of the work of the Church." The Guild has twenty-one members. Regular meetings arc held on the evenings of the second and fourth Wednesdays in each month. The average attendance for the past half year has been twelve. This Guild, so far, has not been such a success rt> I anticipated, Imt I hope that as time goes on it will improve- My weekly Bible class continues to be well attended, and tin Sunday-school is in a flourishing condition. There are tin names of ninety -four children on the register this year, and wi have a staif of eight teachers. At the beginning of the year the churchwardens received ii letter from Mr. Geo. A. Schofield, Secretary of the Board of Home Missions,' suggesting the payment of the stipends of the clergy in aided parishes monthly instead of quarterly, an! asking what they thought of the suggestion, and whether in tlic event of the Society making its grants monthly they would agree to pay their assessment monthly. This matter was brought up at our Easter meeting, with the result that a monthly envelope system for the support of the ministry was adopted, and during the past three months it has proved satis factory. ^ The Women's Aid Association has done good work duriiiir the past year. At their sale of work on the 25th of last May, the sum of $70.00 was cleared, They have now in hand 8150.00. This amount is to be placed in the hands of the churchwardens to enable them to get a new organ for the Church in place of the old one, and the balance is to be used for repairs on the Church. The parish register shows eleven baptisms, five burials and one marriage. 71 SIMONDS- REV. L. A. HOYT, MA. T have l)een enabled, with the divine blensing, to hold services in this parish without intermission during the past year. As I have divided the parish into six districts, in each of wliich I have held fortnightly services, and each of which pay an equal amount to the guarantee fund, T shall report the condi- tion of each district as the best way to report the condition of the whole parish. 1. — Coldbrook. After some difficulty in securing a place for holding services in this section, one has at last been found at Moosepath. A room was rented, money was advanced for its furnishing, and services were commenced last December. A Sunday-school has been organized, and is being conducted with great success ; the choir practices have been regularly attended, and the Sunday services have been heart}', every one bearing their part in the worship of Almighty God. The offerings have been made largely through envelopes, and they have been sufficient to reprty the original outlay for furnishing, to pay the rent of the room, the regular (juarterly allowance for the rector's salary, and leave a small margin on the right side of the balance sheet. I wish to I'emember, with thanks, the generosity of the par- ishioners of St. Paul, St. John, who have given us so many copies of years' subscription to the Church Monthly, that not only were there sufficient for the Coldbrook Sunday-school, but a partial supply was made to other Sunday schools in the parish. The parish of St. Paul has also given us a nucleus for a library, to which other kind friends have made additions ; all of whom will please accept our thanks. We desire also to tender our thanks to the Rothesay Parish Church for a handsome Brussels carpet, by which our missicn room has been made so comfortable. I must recognize the services of Mr. W. Leslie Seely, who advanced the original outlay for the furnishing of the room, and whose business ability and interest in every department of Church work has tended so much to the success of this station. As he is a lay delegate to the Synod, I hope there may be accorded to him a wider sphere of usefulness to the Church. 2. — Red Head. This section has been a success from the fiist. The Bible-class and choir practice have been held regu- larly, the services are well attended, and the offerings though not made through envelopes, have paid the rector's salary, and all other contingencies without any difficulty. .

The services at this t^tution have not lost their interest, but the hall in which they are held continues full, and the worship hearty. The thanks of this station are due to the Church of Enj^land Institute, St. John, for their kindness in providing a Christmas tree for the encouragement of the Sunday-school. 4. — Black River. There has been placed in St. Thomas' Church, in this section, a cabinet organ, in the purchase of wiiich much ai \ ■ If 76 ever, it is only just to add that all the money raised for the D. C. S. contribution is by subscription and freewill offerings. This summer we hope to present two classes to his Lordship the Bishop for confirmation. The number of candidates will l)e aVK)ut twenty-five. A reference to the register gives thirty-one baptisms ; seven marriages ; four funerals. In presenting this report I have written somewhat at length, for I find that our people eagerly watch for the annual reports from year to year ; and Viesides it is only just that we should, as a mission receiving aid from the Society, render a full account of our stewiwdship. WESTFIELD — REV. H. T. PARLEE, B.A. Westfield being an old parish, nothing very startling will l)e expected, but I am pleased to be able to report, that although in common with other parishes \^e labour under much that is discouraging, yet we can show fair evidence of continued vigour and prosperity. Owing to the action of the Board of Home Missions in placing this parish upon the list of self-supportir j missions (although this has not been without its stimulating effect) the work in some cases has been seriously crippled, and very much that ought to have been done has been left undone. Hov during the year past considerable has been accomplished t the parish ciiurch a new organ has been purchas and a • st paid for. At St. James' Church, through the exiorts of the Ladies' Aid Society, a shed for horses has been built and neatly finished at a cost of about $100.00. It is free of debt. At Trinity Church a new chancel has been added which lacks but a few days' work of being completed. An organ has also been purchased for $90.00 and partly paid for. The balance will be raised during the month of July. Much credit is due the ladies of Land's End who have manifested so much zeal for the im- provement of Trinity Church. Since my last report, the rectory and barn have received two coats of paint, and the roof a coat of tar, at a total cost of $65.00, which also has been paid for. A considerable amount of labour has been expended upon the grounds, and further improvements will be made during the coming summer. 77 So much for the material interests of the Church. In all sections of the parish there can l)e seen steady improvements in the strength and zeal of the Church as a Inxly, and though there are individual cases which cause much anxiety and discourage- ment, yet the geneial outlook is becoming better and brighter. This is the case with even that troublesome <|uesti(m — the stipend account — although it is not yet on as firm a basis as it should be. Struggling along, as we are, with the balance against us, we are not without hope that, in the near future, we may emerge from our difficulties the better for our experience. In this connection I might say, that there has not been realized that measure of general support from the suburban residents from St. John that was expected in ' hp struggle for parochial independence, although some have oone very well indeed. This year, however, the prospects look very much brighter in that quarter. Already this is noticed in the increased interest in Church work, increased attendance at church, and increased contributions at the offertory. I^st autumn we received a visit from the Bishop of the diocese. Six candidates were presented at St. James' Church for the rite of confirmation. Chasses are now in preparation, looking forward to a similar visitation to St. Peter's Church, when a goodly number will be presented. Last year, owing to the difficulty in obtaining teachers, we had but one Sunday-school, of which I was at once superintend- ent and teaching staff. This year, however, we hope to have three schools in operation, with an attendance of about seventy- five pupils and a good staff of teachers. Before closing this report, I must record the loss by death of Mrs. Alonzo Watters, who, while she had her health and strength was always found at her post, not only in church but in every undertaking for its benefit. She was the wife of our senior church warden, who has the profound sympathy of the parish in his bereavement. During Christmas week I received a severe blow in the death of my father, who passed away after a few days' illness while visiting at the rectory. The roll of communicants has been increased by ten during the year. The register shows ten baptisms, three marriages, and eight burials. 1 . . 'I' I-:- 1 Ite; ' . 78 ' WESTMORLAND UEV. P. M. BLISH, B.A The rector of thiH parish writes : I regret I cannot send you a definite return of our contributions to the 1). C. S. this year, in time for the annual meeting. It will l)e forwarded as soon as possible. WICKLOW - REV. J. E. FLEWELLING. A little more than the usual amount of work has been done during the past year. I have held services in the parish of Aberdeen! n answer to the Macedonian cry, and occasionally in the parish of Kent, Xvhile not neglecting the work in the parishes of Peel, Wicklow and Wilmot. On Thanksgiving Day we had a bright hearty service in St. James's Church, Centreville, Rev. J. M. Davenport being the preacher, and the rector and people were edified by his address. We hope he may come soon and hold a mission for us. In February of this year my \)eat earthly friend left me for Paradise, and in May my youngest son, a child less than two years old, was taken from me. Not- withstanding the interruption to parochial work consequent on the illness and death of wife and child, I succeeded in getting ready thirty two candidates for the Apostolic rite of confirmation, and on June 14 we were in readiness for our Diocesan's visit, but illness in his own family prevented him from being present. We were, of course, very much disappointed, but he has promised to come later on. Eight adults were ready for baptism. My own parishioners have laid me under an obligation to them by their kind consideration during the time of my deepest sorrow. And friends outside were kind and considerate, and a few expressed their sympathy in a very practical way. I wish particularly to thank the Rev. J. M. Davenport and Mrs. Medley. I mention Father Davenport because it is highly to his credit that ho was willing to show sympathy, substantially and other- wise, to one of a different school of thought. There have been, of course, many discouragements in my work, but I strive to follow out Spurgeon's advice to his students for the ministry, " to have one deaf ear and one blind eye," and consequently I don't hear too much or see too much, and so am enabled to have a greater measure of peace. Contributions about $70 to the General Purposes of the Society. 79 WOODHTOCK, WAKEFIELD, NORTH AMPTON AND BUKIHTON- VEN. ARCHDEACON NEALES, M.A. There is much to record of Hpeciul note from each of the parinhes included in the whole niigsion, but T will Hiniply speak briefly of the mission &» a whole. In February, Mr. Harry H. Smith, who had done goeing done than heretofore to strengthen and extend the Church's work in this portion of the diocese, thus forward- ing the very foremost office of the Society. McAdam. Since February last, with the consent of the Ijord Bishop, a fortnightly service has been held at McAdam Junction, on Thursday evenings, by different clergy in turn. The clergy who have kindly given their assistance by holding one or more of these services, are the Rev. O. S. Newnham, who has taken special pains and interest in this work ; the Rev. J. D. Thomas of Calais, Maine, Rev. W. H. Sampson, Rev. A. W. Teed, and Rev. W. White. The congregations have been large, and the services very hearty, so as to give great encouragement especially to members of the Church resident in the place. Much thanks are due to Mr. Tabor, of the Junction House, who though not a member of the Church, has hospitably entertained each visiting clergyman. It is to be hoped, that before long, this work of the Church may be placed upon a more permanent basis. Reports received too late for insertion in their place, will be found inserted before the subscription lists further on. ■li ^'' 1». J''i;. ,, 1 ■I ■K. PROCEEDINGS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE.

The Committee on the Fund in "Aid of the Education of the Children of the Clergy," desire to draw the serious attention of the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese to the great importance of making special efforts to increase this fund, which is intended to assist the clergy in the education of their children. This fund, which was formerly included under one head with " the Incapacitated Clergy Fund," became a separate object of the Diocesan Church Society in 1879.

The amount of money at the disposal of the committee is, at the present time, not nearly sufficient to meet the applications made for assistance, and the Committee have therefore determined to bring the urgent necessity for contributions to this fund to the notice of the diflferent congregations in the Diocese, with the earnest hope that efforts may be made to help forward this most necessary and desirable branch of the Church's work. Any sums con- tributed to this fund will be added to the present capital, and invested, unless when forwarded it is expressly stated that the amounts remitted may be used as income. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese requests that all collections at confirmation services throughout the Diocese may be given to this fund. All contributions for this purpose are to be forwarded to the Treasurer of the Diocesan Church Society. Commending this matter to your favorable consideration, We are, Yours faithfully, W. M.

B., July 2, 1896. The Anniversary Meeting of the Society was held in Trinity Church School House, at 8 o'clock, p. m., this date, the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop in the chair. The following Vice-Presidents were present : ,/ The Venerable the Archdeacon of St. John. The Venerable the Archdeacon of Fredericton William M. Jarvis, Esq. Rev. Canon DeVeber, M.A. k- Rev. Canon Ketchum, D.D. , The meeting was attended by a large and representative gathering of the membei-s and friends of the Society, quite filling the spacious school room. to the doors. The hymn, " Jesus shall reign where'er the Sun," was sung very heartily, the Rev. Wm. Hays presiding at the organ. Prayers were said by the i- cary, after which the Bishop addressed the meeting. The Secretary presented the Annual Report of the proceed ings of the General Committee. It was, on motion of Mr. G. Sidney Smith, seconded by Mr. W. M. Jarvis, Resolved That the Report now submitted be received and printed under the direction of the Executive Committee. The hymn, " The Church's One Foundation," was then very heartily sung. 95 It was, on motion of the Venerable Archdeacon Brigstocke, seconded by the Rev John deSoyres, Resolved, That the following minute be adopted touching the decease of certain members during the past year : Charles Wesley Weldon, Esq., D.C.L. Who died January mh, 1896. AMD Samuel Leonard Tilley,C.B., K.C.M.G. Who died June 26tb, 1806. I By the death of Charles W. Weldon, Esq., the Society has lost a warm supporter, and the Church one of her ablest mem- bers. While in full sympathy with the Church's order and beauty, and ready to promote all that peitained to her welfare, it was as a member of her Synods, Diocesan and Provincial, that he contributed most to her growth and prosperity. His high legal attainments which placed him in the front rank of jurists in Canada, specially fitted him to give the Church wise counsel in matters pertaining to legislation, while his absence of party spirit and his large-hearted charity endeared him to all who were associated with him. Sir Samuel Leonard Tilley was one of the oldest and most esteemed members of the Society, having lieen a life meml)er for over fifty years, and a vice-president for upwards of forty. His strong attachment to the Church of England naturally made him take a warm interest in the Society upon which its growth and weltare within the diocese so largely depended. He was not only a regular contributor to its funds, but for thirty- seven years paid the annual premium of a life insurance policy for one thousand dollars in favor of the Society. His public life of over forty years, though cast amid the troublous waters of national politics, and other great movements, was eminently marked by Christian consistency, integiity of conduct, and attractive manner. As a statesman, a citizen, a friend, and a member of our church, he was honored, respected and beloved. His example is worthy of close imitation ; his memory is blessed ; and while we mourn his loss, we rejoice in the humble, but con- fident, hope that he has entered into rest. \i m The resolution on Ijeing put to the meeting was carried unanimously by a standing vote. The hymn, " Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow," was then sung, and during the singing a collection was taken for the general purposes of the Society. It was then on motion of the Very Rev, Dean Partridge, seconded by the Rev. C. £. Maimann, Resolved, That the Society a<;knowledge8 with humble thank- fulness to Almighty God the work it has been permitted to accom- plish during the past sixty years, and commends the duty of sustaining the services of the Church in the rural districts of the Province to all who value the well lieing of our beloved Church in this diocese. The Rev. C. E. Maimann, in the course of the very inter- esting speech in which he seconded the foregoing resolution, referred to the absolute necessity of completing the rectory in his mission of New Denmark before the coming winter, and at the suggestion of Mr. Justice Hanington, a subscription list was opened, and in a few minutes the sum of $175.00 was subscribed for that purpose. The Doxology was sung with much fervour, and this very satisfactory and interesting sixtieth Anniversary Meeting closed with the benediction, pronounced by the Lord Bishop. The Society then adjourned. W. O. RAYMOND, Secretary. H. T.

Respectfully submitted, GEO. E. FAIRWEATHER, Treasurer. May 19, 1896. 121 APPENDIX F. Report of the Book Depository Committee. letyl iutive ssaion ,f the dis- ,o. ;e the iSecre- jeriod latance lirer. To the Ri(jht Revere.nd the Lord liishop find the General Com- mittee of the Diocesan Church Society of New Jirnnswick : The Book Depository Committee l>eg leave to submit their twenty-second annual report. Sales. — The sales for the year ending 30th April, 1896, in- cluding the " Dawn of Day," amounted to $1091. 2S, as against $1078.83, the amount of sales for the previous year. Importations. — The number of actual importations of goods during the year has been seventeen, as compared with four- teen for the preceding year, but the value of this year's pur- chase has been less by $150.00 than that of last year. This indicates the greater sale of old stock during the year, which your Committee disposed of at reduced prices in order to keep the present stock supplied with the latest and most saleable class of literature. ^^ Dawn of Day." — Seven hundred and fifty copies of this magazine have been 8ubscril)ed for during the year, which is an increase of eighty copies over last year's number. We are glad to see such an advance in the distribution of this admirable publication, and we feel sure that, in time, as our clergy and people become more and more familiar w^ith it, their interest in it will be greater and greater. Grants. — The ui^ual liberality of the Parent Society has been extended to us during the year, and the following parishes or missions have received grants : Kingsclear, £5 for library books ; St. Mary, St. John, £b for library books ; Grand Falls, X30 for building fund of a new church at Four Falls; Andover, £20 for ;i like object at Glenburn ; Addington, £30 for a new church at Dawsonville. And, in addition to these grants, the diocese ha« to acknowledge the gift of a lantern and slides for Church history lectures. if I- ir^ 122 Depository. — The value of the stock on hand at the beginning of the year was .^2358. 30, and that of goods purchased during the year, at selling prices, was $1104.76, making a total of $3463.06. The sales amounted to $1024.37 ; the stock on hand, at the close of the year on the 30th April last, was valued in stock- taking at $2368.22 ; and discounts allowed on old and shop-worn stock were $70.47 ; total $3463.06. Comparing these figures with those of last year, they are much the same in every par- ticular. There is, however, a slight increase in our favour, but noth- ing more than the showing that we are holding our own. But if (and we have a reasonable hope to expect that such will be the case) this condition of affairs continues to develop, we may look forward to the future with a still brighter anticipation of greater results. For when the time comes for the Depository to enlarge its usefulness by importing oth'^r publications than those that come through our Society, the Church people of the diocese will have a wider and, we believe, a better service at their disposal for the supply of all kinds of Church literature and Sunday-school requisites, which at present are beyond the limits of our Depository. In the Committee's report of last year reference was made to the expiration of the lease for the shop on Germain street on the first day of May, 1896. Your Committee now report that they have renewed the lease for a further term of two years, from May 1, 1896, to May 1, 1898, at the same rental of $175 per annum, and that they have again sub-let a portion of the shop to the Auxiliary Bible Society for a like term of two years, at the same rental as before, $50 per annum. Your Committee arranged with the Auxiliary Bible Society to have an exhibit of Bibles and S. P. C. K. publications at the St. John exhibition last fall. The exhibit was as practical as it was timely in the interests of the Depository, for the goods exhibited were allowed to be sold to the public, and a considerable sum was realized from the sales, which covered our share of expenses. The opportunity was timely, if viewed only as an ordinary business advertisement, and was well worth the adventure, as we believe the exhibit contributed to the general benefit of our work. Your Committee express once more the hope that Church- men will give to this most important branch of Diocesan work 123 their united support and patronage. They feel that they have a right to expect such a support from tlie hands of those for whose benefit this Depository is maintained and carried on. The earnest and sincere desire of your Committee is to pro- mote the welfare of the Church in this special department of her work, and to place at the service of our people our own healthy Church literature at the lowest possible cost. It will be interesting here to observe that under our present arrange- ment of business, the prices charged foi* the 8. P. C. K. l)ooks compare most favourably with those charged by other publishing houses, and on the whole our prices are less than theirs. In the working of the Depository all has been most satis- factory. ' The curator and her assistant have continued to discharge their duties to the entire approval of your Committee. Kespectfully submitted, WM. EATOUGH, Secretary.

B., 26th June, I I 111 % r.'G APPENDIX H. Report of the Committtee on Interesting Sunday-schools In Home Missions, and on the Promotion of Sunday-schools. To the Riyht Reverend the Lord Bishop and the General Committe« of the Diocesan Church Society of New Brunswick: The Committee beg to submit the following report : The Annual Advent Appeal was issued to the Sunday- schools urging the children to again contribute to the Children's Mission Fund, and for the first time this year en\elopes were distributed along with the appeal, which gave each scholar an opportunity of making a special Christmas offering. Three thousand appeals and the same numljer of envelopes were sent out to all parishes and missions in the diocese. Your Committee did not issue a I.enten Appeal, but sent out postal cards requesting the clergyman or superintendent of each Sun- day-school to remind his children of the season, and to ask them to take missionary boxes as usual for offerings towards the Mission Fund. One thousand and fifty-five boxes were distributed — an increase of three hundred over the number sent out in Lent, 1895. The Committee have much pleasure in being able to report better results of this year's work than any yet presented to this General Committee. While the total amount of all offerings reported for these two seasons of the Christian year only shews an increase of $8.00 over the amount of last year, still the detail shows better work done in the interests of the diocese at large. Parishes and missions reporting oflPerings this year, are fifty as against forty of last year. And parishes and missions reporting offerings to " The Children's Mission Fund" this year, are forty as against thirty- two of last year. There are no reports from fifteen parishes and missions, but seven of these are vacant or have been so during the year, and other reasons explain their absence from Burton, Mauger- ville and Sussex, thus leaving the following from which no Par IS a frate The rty- ons, rear, 127 responsie has l)een recived : Derhy ami Blackville, (}ordon and Lome, Johnston, Petitcodiac, St. David and Westmorland. Your Committee have done everything in their power to make the statement as complete as possible, l)ut all efforts have proved futile to elicit replies from theaV)ove parishes and missions.

The old grant of 8700.00 to this parish was renewed from April 1895 to April 1896, on condition of a con- tribution of $430.00 from the people, which was $70.00 more than the contribution of 1893. On April 1st last, the Kev. D.W. Pickett, who has been in charge of the parish for thirty-six years, resigned and made application for a grant from the Fncapacitated Clergy P'und, which the Board are sorry to learn could not 1)6 made as there were no avfiilable funds. Newcastle and Nelson. The Kev. J. H. S. Sweet having resigned this mission, the Board thought it desirable to ascertain if some re-arrangement of work could not l)e made, whereby Derby might be served from Newcastle, so as to provide a resident clergyman for Ludlow, Blissfield and Blackville. The jiarishioners of Newcastle were much opposed to this change, and at their urgent recjuest a grant of $580.00 was made on condition of a contribution of $530.00 for the current year. New Denmark. The Rev. N. M. Hansen having resigned in October last after a service of 19 years, the Rev, C. E. Maimann was ordained on the 1st of March last and has since had charge of the work at New Denmark and (Jrand Falls. A y;rant has been made of $780.00 on condition of a contribution of $350.00. This is a peculiarly difficult work to provide for as it is a necessity at present that the missionary should be able to hold sei vices in both Danish and English. From the testi- mony that has been received from all parts of the mission, the l)oard believe that the position is filled most satisfactorily. Mr. -Maimann writes that a rectory is about to be built near St. Ansgar's Church. Prince William. The amount required from this mission lius been reduced to $265,00, the old debt due by the mission having been satisfactorily arranged. Regular services have only i)Hpn held during July, August and September, when the Rev. A. A. Bryant presented a class of fifty-two for confirmation. RiCHiBUCTo. — It having been stated that the people were unal)le to make up the $411.00 required, the Board sent a ileputation to visit the mission, and on their report it was iii(reed to reduce the amount to $350.00 for the current year. 136 ,., 8JH SpKiNCJFiELD. — The amount required has been reduced !Br)0.00 in con8et|uence of the separation of Norton Station, wliich con- tributed $60.00 a year while served from Springfield, and which is now again united with the Parish of Norton, in which it is situated. Special Gkant, Albert County. -The Board, feeling very strongly the responsibility of allowing this whole county to be without a grant to aid in providing the services of our Church for any who may desire to have them, agreed that they would make a grant of .$700.00 (there being a good rectory), upon con- dition as to contribution to be hereafter arranged. The grant to be put in force so soon as the Bishop can find a suitable nian for the work, Outfit Grants. — The following outfit grants have been made subject to the regulations : Rev. G. L. Freebern 8150 00 Rev. C. E. Maimann 250 00 Rev. Alfred Bareham 200 00 Divinity Students. A grant of $100.00 was made to the Bishop to defray expenses of Divinity Students during the sum- mer months under the direction of his Lordship. The following sums have been paid on this account : Oct. 14.— H. A. Cody $50 00 Oct. 8.— E. W. Gardner 50 00 Divinity Scholarship. A grant of $150.00 was made to Mr. H. A. Cody out of the income of this fund. Deputations. Deputations from the Board have visited Greenwich, Hampton, Richibucto and Weldford during the past year. Clerc^y Stipend Augmentation Fund. At the suggestion of the Bishop, the Board appointed a Committee to pi'epaie rules for a fund to provide for the augmentation of the stipends of the Clergy. Under the operations of the present rules of the Society the maximum stipend to a missionary in an aided mis- sion, will soon in no case exceed $700.00 with a house, or $780.00 without a house. It is felt by every one that some eflFort should be made to increase that small stipend at least in the case of those clergy who have served -many years in the diocese. The Committee prepared rules for the government of the fund which were adopted by the Board, and are now sub- 137 nutted to the General Committee for their approval. Until the General Committee or tlie Society order otherwise, the manage- ment of the fund will be entrusted to the lay members of the Board of Home Missions with the Bishop of the diocese. Up to this time, subscriptions of ^150.00 to be used as income under Rule 1, have been received. A layman has also offered ^1000.00 toward a capital for the fund, which he will pay as soon as other subscribers are found. The Board heartily commend the fund to the diocese. Monthly Payment by the Society of Stipends of Clerc;y. In December last, the Board issued the following circular to the churchwardens of all missions receiving grants from the Society : (Copy of Circular.) St. John, N. B., Deceml)er, 1895. Dear Sh — The Board of Home Missions have felt for some time that it was a real hardship that the stipends of the clergy should only be paid quarterly. It necessarily compels some of them to incur debts and increases the cost of living. It was the custom some years ago in business establishments to pay quar- terly, but this was changed to monthly, and long since became weekly in the great majority of cases. The Board think an effort should be made to pay all the stipends of the Clergy monthly, and I am instructed to ask the churchwa. ' as of all aided missions if they will arrange, after first Juiy next, to make the parish payments monthly, if the Society agrees to pay monthly. The Board is fully convinced that after once the new plan has been put into working order, it will be better for the parish, the Society and the clergy. It will require a little effort, but it will add much to the comfort of the clergy. Please let me know what you think of the proposal. I am. Yours sincerely, Geo. a. Schofield, Secretary. The Board were not a little surprised that only eight parishes answered this communication. They are confident that the proposed change would greatly benefit the clergy, without being in any way to the disml vantage oi the Society or contrary to its rules. They recommend that p fc' (S*? -II 'Cfe' M If! 138 when the schedule for the coining year is adopted, the General Committee authorize the Treasurer to pay monthly instead of *iuarterly as heretofore. They express the hope that wherever it is practicable the missions should pay monthly to the Society, although they realize that ditiieulties which cannot at once be overcome may prevent this being universally done for some time to come. Committee on the Needs op the Diocese. The Board ap- pointed a committee, as authorized by the General Committee last July, and their report is suiimitted herewith. Annual Statement for S. P. G. The Board submit here- with a copy of the statistical statement furnished to the Vener- able Society for the Propagation of the Gospel for 1895. A comparison with the return for 1894 shows an increase of 348 communicants, !$3.502.00 in offertory collections, and $5361.00 in amount raised for Church purposes. S. P. G. Grant. For the year 1896 the grant has been reduced £100 sterling, and is now £750 as against .£2860 in 1868. This is another call to the Diiture, 1896-7.

To the Lord Bishop and the Board of Home Missions : The Committee on the Needs of the Diocese beg leave to report that they met in the rooms of the Church of England In stitute on November 25, 1895, at five o'clock, p. m. There were present the Venerable Archdeacon Neales, Rev. H. Mont- gomery, Rev. L. A. Hoyt, W. S. Fisher, C. N. Vroom, T. B. Robinson and H. C. Tilley. The needs of the diocese were discussed by all present. Rev. H. Montgomery was elected chairman and H. C. Tilley secretary. It was moved and seconded that a committee of three, consisting of the Chairman, Mr. Geo. A. Schofield, and Mr. J. Roy Campbell, be appointed to draft a letter to the clergy of the dioeese regarding the special needs of the diocese, in- cluding in it the advisability of the appointing of a Diocesan Missioner. A second motion was then moved, seconded and carried, that the names of the Venerable Archdeacon Brigstocke, W. 8. Fisher and the Secretary, be added to the above named com- mittee, with power to act for the general committee in future. The Secretary was then authorized to call together the com- mittee when sufficient replies had been received from the circular letter to warrant it. Since the holding of this meeting the committee met and the Secretary read over the replies from different parishes, from which only eleven were received. The replies to the circular letter were, in nearly every case, favorable to the securing of a Diocesan Missioner, taking for granted that the right person be secured. The clergy who re- plied seemed very anxious that some one be sent among them to awaken a deeper interest in spiritual and Church affairs. 145 Some have iisktH] for a deputation to visit their pariHlies for tlie purpose of putting l)efore their people the speoial needs of the C'huroh in the locality, and others have asked for information regarding ttie formation of a chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. Your Committee were disappointed at receiving so few an- swers to their circular letter. As the objects set forth were for the lienefit of the different parishes in the diocese, they felt that liy getting an opinion from each parish on the «|uestions set forth therein, it would be the means of helping forward the work of our Church, and in so doing would awaken its members to the responsible position which they as Churchmen are called upon to occupy. All of which is respectfully submitted. ^i m H. MONTGOMERY, H. C. TILLEY, Secretary. Chairman, St. John. N.

STRP:ET, B.A. F'or the ten months during which T have been in charge T liave to report a marked degree of (juiet and peace in this for so long-time distracted and divided parish. Although the division is such as time alone may heal, yet I thank God that the people have very generally given me a hearty and gracious support in my ejideavour to promote peace and good-will among tliem. T (1(1 not know that I have to endure more than do others of my liit'thren in the discouraging and disheartening happenings of parochial work and life, but I have this to say, that amid all tliat disheartened, and much that discouraged, I found friends aii'l supporters whose kindly and encouraging words and actions jrn^atly aided to sustain and conrfort me. T should not be doing justice to tliose of my people who love DUf Church, and have stood firm in their allegiance, did I not ])(it on record my firm conviction that they have been as much sitnied against as sinning in the manifold trials and troubles of jtast years. Each day's experience goes to prove tliis. I have tx'cn able thus far to maintain my full tjuota of work — three services on each Sunday, with a fourth .service on one Sunday of pai h month. Now that the Bishop has given me an assistant. We shall together keep up the full complement, viz.: five and six st't \ ices on every Sunday, besides additional services during the \V(i k in Bathurst and its missions. The Church owes a debt of ^'latitude to the Rev. W. Aittm for the readiness with which he can !■ to my assistance for the miserable pittance he is receiving. There is not one of his hearers who would l>e willing to work for pviMi thrice the amount which he is looking to receive The parish of Christ Church, New Bandon, has taken on lie life, and on last Haster Monday elected wardens and vestry- nu'ii as also a delegate toSyn<:xl. Many years have pa.ssed since thi- was done, and but few of the people seemed U) know that (hci' parish had ever had an existen"* ast such. The zeal and iuti ty displayed by the ladies, especially since regular minis- ml r 180 lit " : m if 'M\ ly,: trations began, is worthy of all commendation. I am encouraged to believe that the day is not far distant when this parish will have its own rector living among them. Caraquet asked for my services so earnestly that I could nor refuse. As this necessitated the closing of the parish church on the two Hundays I gave them, I was obliged to substitute .i week-day service instead. Now that I have assistance, we can give them a Sunday more frequently. This distant point demands more attention than it has heretofore had, and the people there, and on the adjacent islands, gladly welcome our ministrations. I could find abundance of work for a second assistant, but I have not, alas, the wherewithal to pay even the present one what he should receive. I am glad to be able to report that the attendance at the parish Churches of Bathurst and New Bandon has steadily increased, as also it has at the mission stations. An effort will be made soon to finish the new church begun some eight years ago at New Bandon, and which has been a cause of much dis quiet and uneasiness in the past. The timbers for a Chapel of Ease at Salmon Beach were got out by willing hands this past winter, and the same readiness is manifested by men and women alike of this congregation to do their utmost to carry on the work to completion. The congregation at Tetagouche has recently purchased a new organ for their Chapel of Ease, and in other ways is manifesting a commendable zeal and activity in good works. The parish has forwarded the usual amount to the D. C. S. towards the rector's stipend, but an examin'ation of the tabulated returns in the Society's report will show that several of the variou , >bje< t " oa the D. C. S. have been remembered during the past few months, — a thing unknown for a long while, as a look through the reports wT testify. The purposes and aims of the Society seemed to be quite unknown, or certainly have lieen studiously ignored for some years past. I hope for better thing> in the future. The Bishop made us a vLit last September and confirmed thirteen. Another class is now awaiting a promised visit from him in 'fuly, when I hope to add sixteen communicants tf my list. .

In making this my fourteenth report to the Diocesan Church Society since my appointment to the parish of Hardwicke, I riiust thank the society on behalf of the parish, for all it has (lone for it during that time in the way of making grants towards tlu' building of a rectory, and for the maintenance of a clergy- man to minister to the spiritual needs of a people scattered throughout a large district, who, but for the generous aid of the Dictcesan Church Society, would be left without the regular ministrations of our Church. The first, and in many respects the chief, event during the year, was the visit of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese who spent Sunday, August 4th, in the parish, preaching three times and confirming thirteen persons. Without going particularly into the details of the work which has been much the same as in previous years, I may say that the congregations in both the churches, and also at Escu- ininac are increasing, and a greater number are present at Holy Communion which is celebrated every Sunday. I wish I could say that the amount of the assessment was raised more promptly and regularly than it is, but we are always at h-ast one quarter in arrears. I think this is largely due to the want of a definite system or plan for collecting the subscrip- tions of the people. As I continue the old plan each year of soliciting contribu- tions from the people for the General Purposes of the Society, I find that each year I collect more ; and I l>elieve that if the chuicli wardens would set in motion the collectors for the various districts in the parish each quarter, there would be a different taU' lo tell. Owing to the lack of Sunday-school teachers I visit three of the |Mihlic schools in the parish once a week, and catechize and i instruct the children for about an hour ; and I must say I find the [Ian works well, and the children seem interested in the llessoiis. l>iiring all the time I have been in the parish of Hardwicke, 1 1 hiv.r never had so many sick people to visit, nor have there '*eeii so many deaths as during the past winter ; nearly all of jtiieni having been sudden, or at least unexpected. As I myself jliiive i .(^n ailing a little, and the doctor has ordered me to take a li'st, t fi Bishop has licensed Mr. H. H. Gillies, B. A., of King's Lolbj: , Windsor, N. S., to assist me for a few months. I -i.! i If. VI 182 LANCASTER — REV. W. LeB. McKIEL, B.A. ^ ???1 Though the hope expressed in my last report has not been realized, yet there is much to l)e thankful for in the prosperity, peace and unity in the Church during the year. Not one thing has occurred to mar the peace and harmony, but all with more or less devotion and zeal have worked for the good and welfare of the Church. As a result the assessment for salary has been paid in full, current expenses have been met and many improve ments made on the Church property. For instance, the fences and gates have been repaired and painted. A handsome new flag-pule has been erected on the Church hall. New plank plat forms have been laid from the street to the Church and the rectory. Many large granite rocks in the ground have been shattered by dynamite and removed, and the grounds levelled and graded, and the work of excavating under the Church for a furnace, etc., is still going on. This work, for a large part, has been done by the people themselves, working for the Church at the close of the day willingly and cheerfully giving up a portion of the time whieli they have for rest and recreation. The work usually done by a verger or sexton, and paid for out of Church funds, is with us freely and voluntarily done by the members of the " Guild of the Good Shepherd," and others. This work being one of love is fat more eflFective and satisfactory than any mercenary labor, and is performed by the members, who go on duty week by week in rotation. The members of the Women's Aid Association have, as usual, been unremitting in their labors — zealous in good works, and as a result they have been able to pay into the Churtlis funds during the ye^r $192.50. The Sunday-school continues to flourish under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Stears, and is taught by the same staff of teacln rs mentioned in my last report, all of whom are faithful as well as diligent in teaching Church doctrine — Bible truth. A children's service is held periodically, with address and catechizing by the incumbent. The Bishop, with his usual kindness, came to us for a spei iul confirmation on the 27th of November, when eight received ilie gift with the laying on of hands — six males and two females, all of whom became communicants forthwith and remain steadfast. One of the members of the confirmation class of the previous year. Bertha Bartlett, aged fourteen, a faithful communicant ■^(.

Some thus fall early on the battle field of life, but others, stimulated by the good example and with the love of (Jod in their hearts, rise up to grasp the banner of the cross and carry on the work for God and his Church. On the 2Gth of January Mrs. Avery, a constant communicant, over seventy years old, was laid to rest. Her seat was never vacant in Church when it was possible for her to \m there, and her zeal in walking nearly a mile to Church might well put to sjiame many younger persons in every congregation. The Provincial Lunatic Asylum being in this parish has a special claim on my care and attention. I have service there • very fourth Sunday, and the doors of the institution are always open to me as a clergyman tocairy the ministrations of the (liurch to those of its members and others who, for the time, are its inmates. RICHMOND -REV. A. \V. TEED, M.A. During the past year the work of the Church has been carried on as usual. I desire to record in this report the gratitude of tlie parishioners and my.self to Mrs. Medley for a very beautiful wjiite altar frontal for St. John's Church. I am further indebted to Mrs. Medley for the gift of a retable. I can report a further advance in the work of the interior of St. John's Church. Both sides of its chancel arch and the ceiling ot" the chancel have been sheathed with wood, while the rafters li ive been grained oak colour. This work cost $115.00, which lias been paid. A new fence has been built on the east of the Church land, jukI a small lot of land convenient to the Church has been pur- cl.ased for $40.00, on which it is hoped that a horse-shed will so.tn be erected. Death has been busy in our midst, and of those whom it has })1« ased God to call from us to their rest^ I would mention the name of William Stokes. For some thirty years he was church- w;i!(len, and was a great benefactor to the Church in Richmond. N(ir was his interest in the Church confined to his own parish. H»' was ever ready to help, both with good judgment and with his >neans. He will long be missed, and many mourn the loss of ,: y;ood counsellor and a .sincere friend.

Ah one iiiaana of increasing the conlrihutionN nnd le^Heniiifc the difHculti h of collection, the Board of Home MinHions recom- mend that Weelcly OfferingH bi> HubHtituted for Yearly Uiiliscrip- tionH, wherever practicable. The plan of Weekly Offerings upon the Envelope Systenj l>;u» been found to work well in many parts of the Diocese whei it has lieen tried. The first step towards the adonticm of this sy8t4»m 'n a "" i ihli is to ascertain from all the memodrs of the congre^ tior h ti/, l,u; I'.iit sum they are willing to contribute at the Weekly Ofiv this done— 1. Pledges will be received from the Parishioners ;; :. ; weekly sum, from one cent to one dollar and upward, • given in an envelope at the services on each Sunday. 2. A package of envelopes will be given to each i ontributor, printed with blanks for naui«* and amount of Offering. 3. The Treasurer will entei the amount thus received each week, to the credit of each contributor, in a book to be kept exclusively for this purpose. 4. A stated meeting of the Vestry or Parishioners will be held quarterly ; at which meeting the Ti'easurer will report all subscriptions in arrears, and at the close of the Parish year will also present all the last year's accounts of the Parish, which will then he audited and settled. By the above plan the following objects are sought to lie accomplished : 1. That not only heads of families, but all in thf Parish, old and young, who have anv means and earnings of their own, may contribute according to their ability to the support of the Church. 2. That they may, as regularly as possible, at the appointed time, bring their pledged Weekly Offertngn to Church, instead of paying them at the call of the collector. [Note. — The principle of the Envelope System is not interfered with when, as in exceptional cases, it may be convenient to con- tribute ONCE A FORTNIGHT, or at any other stated period within the quarter.] 3. That the Parish revenue may not fall into arrears and debt be incurred. 4. That the income of the Parish may he materially increased, so that mainly from this source sufHcient provision may be made for the support of the Clergyman. All these objects may be easily attained if the Churchwardens 1 be willingly and efficiently sustained in their efforts by those whose representatives they are. The above plan has been adopted, with some variation, in a |number of Parishes in several Dioceses, and has been successful. It is hoped that it may receive serious consideration in every iMission in this Diocese, and that it may be generally adopted. 5>,V, , f .J J Hi S I! ! \r r*i •f^t t 224 FORMS FOR WILLS.

D., Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia and First President of the Church Society. (.f^e Frontispiece.) On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the formation of the Church Society, it seems not inappropriate to insert as the frontispiece of this Annual Report a portrait of the distin- tinguished prelate, at whose instigation the Society was founded in the year 1836, and who was its first president. Bishop John Inglis was born in New York in the year 1777 amid the clash of arms and all the turmoil of the American revolution. He was a lad of ten years of age when he arrived at Halifax with his father — the well-known Dr. Charles Inglis, first bishop of Nova Scotia and first bishop of the Anglican Church in the British Colonies. He began his studies at Kings College, Windsor, and was one of the first seventeen students to enter that institution. He was ordained by his father in 1810, and took charge of the parish of Aylesford. He was appointed rector of St. Paul's, Halifax, in 1816, and was consecrated third bishop of Nova Scotia at Lambeth, March 27, 1825. In consequence of bodily infirmities, his predecessor. Bishop Stanser, retii-ed from active work and took up his residence in England, and the extensive diocese of Nova Scotia, then including New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Bermuda, was deprived of the presence of its diocesan for some years. ., Bishop John Inglis found upon his consecration " more than sixty churches scattered over an immense spa<;e, were uncon- secrated, and nearly seven thousand persons were awaiting confirmation." Upon the occasion of his first visit to this province the year after his consecration, he confirmed 1,720 persons, many of them advanced in years, to whom the opportunity of baing confirmed had never been vouchsafed up to that time. ^1 I i ' i •i 1 J i 226 On the first day of June, 1836, he wrote a letter to the Ven. Archdeacon Coster, of New Brunswick, respecting a plan which he hoped might be the means of interesting the laity in the affairs of the Church. The plan was nothing more or less than the formation of a society to embrace the objects promoted by the two great English societies — the S. P. G. and the S. P. C. K. The clergy, at the invitation of their Archdeacon, met accord- ingly at Fredericton on the 8 th September following, and after due deliberation formed a society to be known as " The Chuich Society of the Archdeaconry of New Brunswick." This was the first organized and systematic attempt of the Church in a British colony to provide for its own maintenance. Bishop John Inglis is referred to by Bishop Medley in one of his charges as "a very active and energetic bishop." He administered the affairs of his diocese lovingly, wisely and well until his decease in the year 1 850. He died in the seventy-third year 'of his age and in the twenty-sixth of his episcopate. ADDENDA. In addition to those reported at page 140 as confirmed, there were confirmed at Campbellton, 17; Moncton, 21; St. George and Pennfield, 22; Rusiagornish, 8; St. James (St. John), 32: St. Marys (York), 6, — making a total for the diocese of 768. 22' INDEX.
