In explanation of the apparent fallinf^ off in the receipts of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, it may be mentioned that last year this fund benefited by special donations to the amount of $330 ; and that this year it has doubtless been affected by the interest which has been generally manifested in the new Pension Fund for aged and iniinn Clergynicn, To the same cause may probably be referred the diminution in the revenue of the Mission Fund. At the same time your Board feel bound to express their strong regret that the proceeds of Sermons in behalf of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund should this year have fallen short of last year by 6240. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FORMATION OF THE CHURCH SOCIETY. PENSION FUND FOR AGED AND INFIRM CLEROYME^J. Sunday, the 7th day of July last, being the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the formation of the Church Society, and also tlie anniversary of the foundation of the See of Quebec by the consecration of the first Bishop Mountain, it was thought desirable that advantage should be taken of so marked a period in the history of the Diocese, by endeavouring to increase the interest of Churcluucn in the Society's operations, as well as to shew our thankfulness for the suc- cess which has hitherto attended its labours. Accordingly, in com- pliance with the wishes of the Central Board, the Bishop was pleased to instruct his Clergy to bring before their flocks, on that day, the claims of the Society and the work of the Church at large. It was also determined to hold public meetings throughout the Diocese ; and, at the desire of your Board, there was drawn up in a very Batififactory manner, by the Rev. A. W. Mountain, for general cir- oulatioD, a brief statomont of the Society's objccta and position, lo 1 ♦ • ♦ 1 ■▼ V , M. M f f k « 1 ^ 11 the city of Quebec, during the Session of Synod, a meeting was held, which was numerously attended by Churchmen from all parts of the Province. At the suggestion of the Bishop, it was resolved to give a permanent character to the anniversary, by establishing a Pension Fund for aged and infirm Clergymen. Ills Lordship entered fully into the necessity of establishing such a fund, no provision whatever existing for this object. Without it there was left the equally pain- ful alternative — of depriving a Clergyman incapacitated by infirmity or length oi' service of the means of support ; or of leaving a Mis- sion through no fault of its own inadequately supplied with the ministrations of tlie Gospel. JIuch interest was manifested by the meeting in the Bishop's proposal, and liberal donations were received from those present. Subsequently, deputations were appointed by your Board to visit the districts of Gaspe, Three Rivers, and St. Francis, for the purpose of soliciting donations in behalf of the Pension Fund. From the last district, the Bev. II. Boe has since made a very gratifying report .if his success, and of the increasing interest shown in the work and welfare of the Society. Reports from tbc other districts have been deferred till the winter roads give greater facility for travelling. Your Board beg to express an earnest hope that the interest taken by Churchmen in the good work will not be sufl'ercd to slacken, and that this fund will be numbered amongst those which the Clergy are requested to bring annually before their congregations. LOCAL ENDOWMENTS. Your Board have the gratification of reporting that daring the past year two other local Endowment funds have been added to the Society's list, viz., that of the Mission of Hatley, and that of the Mission of Ireland and South Inverness. Your Board are also 12 aware that similar steps are being taken by other Missions. That the Society should now hold tlic title deeds oi' fourteen local endowment funds, cannot fail to be a subject for congratulation ; for small as may be at present the total amount of each separate fund, yet the fact that such funds should have been boi^un at all in a Diocese so well known for its poverty, promises well for its future. The following are the Rural Missions with Endowment Funds : — Frampton §3713.56 Three Hivers 2887.36 Nicolet 4942.79 Levis 313.00 New Liverpool 313.00 St. Sylvester 897.84 Gaspd Basin 035 . fi New CarHsle and Paspebiac 794.35 Sandy Beach 031.50 Coaticook and Barford 908.25 St. Stephen 's, North Inverness 001.06 Chigouac 525.35 Charleston Rectory (Ilatley) 1000.00 L-eland and South Inverness.... 550.00 T T EDUCATION. In this department the Board continue to do what they can with the limited nieans at their disposal. There must always remain the difficulty of procuring efficient teachers so long as the pittance usually afforded them is so scanty and precarious. The Church School, which was opened at Coaticook in September, 1807, continues to merit the support which it receives from the Society. The Board learn with much featisfaction, that the trustees have been enabled to 13 reduce the foes, and to bring a liiglicr standard of education than is usually attainabK) in tlio rural districts within the reach of a greater number of chilJren belonging to the Mission. The Kcv. R, G. Plees and the Kcv. II. J. Pctry continue to act as Inspectors of the Schools in receipt of tlie Society's aid. The gchool at Lake Beaui)ort under Mr. llichardson, as Teacher, has been reported by both Inspectors as worthy uf special commendation. SCHOOLS ALDED BY THE CIimCIT SOCIETY.

Another }o;ir's experience haf3 only served to justify tho cliaoges uiudo last year with ii view to ineioasioi; tho utility of this depart- ment. Tiie Secretary-Treasurers report that, on assuming onice, they proceeded to estimate the value of the stock of books on liaiid, and that it was found to bo 8820.50. With the sum voted by your Board, in December, 18GG, they have been enabled to adopt a system of cash payments for all new purchases, — thus securing the whole of the advantagoif offered by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledire. They bcliovo the Depository is now placed ou a lirm commercial basis, and will in future bo found sel(-s'.i|)- porting. They hardly dare, however, to anticipate any very great increase of revenue. Dut whilst your Board thankfully report the apparent a])prcciatioa in Quebec of the books on salo at the De- pository, they desire to express their rogret that they have hitherto been unable to extend similar advantages to those parts of the Diocese where they are most noedcJ. It appears to your Board worthy of con:rideratioii, that whilst cheap literature of a most objectionable character is readily accessible. Churchmen in the more remote districts of the Province are, in many cases, almost without opportunity of procuring for themselves or their childreu works of a more wholesome kind, and not incouijistent with tho principles of their Church. In the di--tricts of Gaspe and St. Francis, branch Depositories have been openeJ. With tho latter the Depository Committee are now in correspondence, in the hope of securing tho services of a Colporteur for a few montha during the winter in the St. Francis district. The sales for tho past year have boon as follows : — > Bibles, 88 ; Prayer Books, 297 ; Testaments, Tracts, and miscel- laneous publications, $290. Gli. Total sales, $500.77. 15 distri(;t associations. MF/iANTin. It was stated in the lust Rfporl that measures wore in proj:;ross for reviving: the iMegantic District Association. A meeting for tluit purj)Of:o was ^accordingly lielj at Leeds in March last, under the presidency of Rev, W. Kinjjj, Chairman of the Association, when the Rev. J. P. Richmond was appointed Secretary, and James Patton, Esq., (Levis,) Treasurer. Meetings were alpo held in ail the churches in Mcgautic, and also at St. Svlvostcr. 'flic Rev. T. L. Ball has siuci? succeeded the Rev. J. P. Richmond, as Secretary. The total amount contributed by tiio Mcgantic District Association, including proceeds of sermons, has been 653-t.32. PORTNEl.'K. A meeting was also held at Valcartior in March last, for re- organizing the Portneuf District Association. The Rev. A. von Iffland was appointed Secretary, and G. 13. Hall, E.sq., Treasurer. Parochial meetings were afterwards held at Stoneham, Lake Beau- port, and Portneuf. The want of direct communication between most of the Missions within this district renders its efficient organiza- tion a matter of greit difficulty. Total amount received from the Portneuf District Association, StT..')!. ST. mic'iiakl's. Wo have had fo many changes, owing chiefly to rciuovils, within the last, few months, that the amount of collections after sermons has been necessarily alfected by them. Within the same |)Oiiod we have raised the sum of $2. GOO as an addition to cur Endowment Fund ; and this, being a special cffiirt, has withheld me from making a special appeal on behalf of the Society's Pension Fund. I have, however, obtained about SI 10. for it, and before the close of the semi-jubilee year I tr\ist to be able to make some further additions to it.

Reference to tlio Ry-Laws will show the altcratloiiH and anieml- nicnts which wore finally adopted by the Society, at tl.cir Special Meeting held July 2nd, 1807. Your Board rojoico tliut the pitieiicc and labours of many years have at length been rewarded by the final establishment of a By-law lor tho mana^emout of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, which has received tho general ap- proval of tho Diocese. Tt is a matter of duty to record that this consummation is mainly duo to the persistent efforts of Mr. Shep- lurd, who has been for some years one of the most constani and laborious mcmbars of the Society. A resolution, expressing the Board's appreciation of Mr. She])pard"3 services appears in the Abstract of their Proceedings for tho yo:jr. The subjoined resolution, which was unanimously adopted by tho Board at their meeting held December 11th, 18G7, will best express their estimation of the loss recently sustained by the Society in the death of F. C. Vunnovous, E « * 21 population ftttractcd by the Tiold Fioldg io this mission will floon render the employment of an additional labourer imponitivo. The Mission of Ivingsoy owes tlio ministrations which its peopio onjoy to tlio circumstance of o clercyman of soiuo privato moans being willing to servo for a very small stipend . Tho Congregation at Oeorgovillc aro in need of aid to maintain their elcrgyman ; and an unfuvourabio an-^wcr has been sent to an applieation on behalf of the people in Heretbrd for a resident elcrgy- man . Tho extent of tho great need of additional missionaries in ono portion of the Diocese alone, which embraces the following town- ships : Compton, Drummond, llichraond, Wolfe, Stanstead and Shcrbrooke, may bo understood from tho single fact that while 8,500 aro returned in the last census as members of the Church of England, 3,919 aro returned as belonging to no religious denomi- nation or are uiiiversalists and unitarians. Before the Synod meets again, tho period for which tho S.P.G. has promised tho annual grant at present afforded to this Diocese will have expired. The positive declaration of that Society is that their grant ahull at the end of each period of three years be reduced by at least .ClOO stg., and by as much more as they shall deem right. At the close of the last period of three years the representa- tions of tho Bishop made in person induced the Society to make such an arrangement for tho present trienni:il period as had tho effect of only reducing the grant by £.')0 stg. per annum. What i3 the actual prospect of the Diocese with reforcnco to this grant for tho next 3 years ? Confederation has kept Canada much before tho English pulilio of Lite. Her resources and pijsition amongst the countries of tlic world, ha\e eiigaj^ed attention far and wide. Must we not expect that all this will induce a large and ?[ -idy withdrawal of the grants made by the S. P. G. to aid tho Church in tho several Dioceses comprised in the Doraioioa of Canada ? 22 It is most ioiporlant that every Congregation in this Dioccae should have this prospect set before them so clearly that there may be 110 room for their Tailing to understand exactly what it is and what it meaiiii. It means that they niU3t support the ministrations of the Church or do without them, or at the best enjoy them only at long intervals. Unless each and every congiegation in the Dioceso is able and willing to do far moro than they are doing at present, the staff of clergy must be gradually reduced and their ministrations extended to those in rotation who are able to maintain them. There are, as has been already stated, 3919 souls within one small portion of this Diocese who return themselves as acknowledging no creed or 05 unitarians and universalists. They are at our very doors and we are doing nothing for them. So far are we from doing any thing for them that the minibtrations of the Church in tiie Diocese arc chiefly maintiined by Churchmen in England. The one fact possibly may exi'lain and account for the other. When we have to maintain the ministrations of religion for ourselves we shall perhaps prize them so highly as even to make sacrifices in order to extend ihem to others. Of ^jourse a j:ood many congregations are at present too weak in numbers to contribute in full fjr the ministrations they enjoy. The Diocesan Board would therefore repeat here the sutrgcstion which its stiitement to the Church Society in December last contained, viz: that some well directed effort should bo raide to strengthen such congregations by inducing well-to-do Families intending to migrate from the old country to make their future homo within the borders of our established missions. Ever since the Board was created there has been a want of some recognized and constitutional mode of enquiry whenever a mission refuses to meet the requirements of the B)ard. This enquiry is now made umier a Canon passed at the last Session of Synod. J. W. Quebec. President. f , 28 EXTRACTS FROM MISSIONARY REPORTS. EEPORT OF THE TRAVELLING MISSIONARY REPORTS. Last winter I laboured in the outposts of the St. Francis dis- trict. I had seven regular preaching stations — two in South Dur- ham, two in Windsor, and three in Hereford. The distance between the first and last of these is about a hundred miles. The attendance at most of these places was about 40. I held alternately two and three services every Sunday, with an occasional service during the week. Within the first six months of the year, or up to the time I left the Townships for Grosso Isle, I made upwards of three hun- dred visits. Wherever I went, I was welcomed and received with much kindness. In Durham, I am happy to say, a growing interest in religion began at length to show itself. By June, thirty — most of them adults — had offered themselves as candidates for Confirmation. — Only eighteen, however, were confirmed, — the others being, for various reasons, unable to go to Acton, where the confirmation was held. Many in South Durham are very anxious to see the building of a church started ; but the uncertainty as to the continuance of a Missionary's services deters them from taking any active steps. The people here are not in a position to do mnch towards the sup- port of a Clergyman ; but I have no doubt they would do their part if some permanent provision were made for them. lo Windsor, there are very few members of the Church of p]ng- land. My congregations here were for the most part made up of members of other denominations. In Hereford, interest in the Church still continued to grow. But in a place like this monthly services are, comparatively speaking, of little use. What ia wanted is a resident Clergyman. The number of inhabitants and the extent of spiritual destitution call for this. There are ia this township, not counting any of those on the otiicr 24 side of the line, who are not a few, upwards of three hundred souls, and four-fifths of these are not even baptized. Yet are these people exceedingly kind and hospitable, and, generally speaking, ready to hear and receive the Truth. A handsome cliurch has been erected, and almost finished ; and something like 8-00 have been subscribed by the inhabitants towards a resident Clergyman. But I am grieved to find that the funds of the Diocesan Board are so very limited as to render a compliance with this request impossible. May each Churchman in this Diocese, who is not giving accordine; to his ability, be moved to feel his personal responsibility in this matter, and be led to give to God of his substance, so as to onablo the Church to extend the light of the Go.spei. ! QUARANTINE STATION, GROSSE ISLE. On the 24th of June, I received word that the hospitals at the Quarantine statioa were " filled with the sick and dying.'' I left the Townships early the next morning for Grosse Isle, where I remained most of the sumratr. My duties here were much about the same as those of last season — visiting the hospitals once or twice a day, and nolding morning and afternoon service on Sundays. The number admitted to hospital during rjy atay was 221. They were all foreigners — mostly Germans and Norwegians. The disease most prevalent among them was small-pox. The number of deaths was 24. I was very glad to find at the station, this season, a Church of England orderly and interpreter. Ho was of considerable assistance to me when administering the Sacraments, as well as on other occasions. I could have made good use of some German and Norwegian tracts, had I had them. Out of the Sunday collections, I bought for tho hospitals a few German Bibles and Prayer-books. They were, however, rather heavy and tiring for the sick to hold in their hands. They were very thankful for them, however, and seemed i^y mucli pleased. One youDfi; woman I particularly noticed. Slio al- ways had one of the books citlier in her hand or by her side ; and often, when I catered the small-pox ward, 1 fuuiid her reading aloud to t'ae others around her. It was a strange and affecting scene* There, on her bed, raised and supported on pillows, lay the poor girl — her face one mass of sores, and holding in her sore hands a German Bible. Around the foot of her bod stood a group of convalescents, listening with marked attention; while the sick on cither side leaned forward on their beds, eager to catch the words as they dropped from the poor girl's lips. A Quarantine Chaplain has occasion to witness many a painful and touching scene. A sick or dying bed i* a sad spectacle any where, but particularly so at a place like Grosse Isle. True, the patients are well attended by kind nurses. But there the poor sullerers lie, strangers in a strange land — far, fir away from liomo and friends — not a soul around, perhaps, that can speak to tliem or understmu tlieni. All day long they gaze on those same dreary walls, or on the long rows ot beds that run along cither side of the cheerless ward ; and all through the long dark hours they watch the glimmer of the nigiit-lamp, and listen to the groans and sighs of their fellow-sutferers. When a clergyman CDmes to one of these poor creatures, and synipathizingly paints him to the only source of consolatio:i, and kneels down and prays by his side, though it may be in a language strange to him, you may understand somswhat of the feelings whicli move the weeping suU'crer to take his hand and kiss it. One of the last dcath-bcls I attended was that of a young Nor- wegian woman. She was dying of consumption. I remember well the last time I stood by her bed-sido. The poor girl had wasted away to a mere shadow ; her eyes were closed with weakness, and she could not speak ; she seemed to labour with every breath, and it was evident she could not long support the burden of her wasted frame. She v/as not alone : a wcepin;^ mother and sister bent ovoc 26 her. As I stood, I oponed the Norwegian Bihlo I held in ray hand, and read aloud tlic coinfortable words of our Saviour: " Come unto Me, all yc that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The words no sooner fell upon her ears, than the poor girl raised and clasped her trembling hau.is, to signify, as it were, that she would indeed go unto Iliin; and then graduilly lowering her right hand, she extended it towards me for mo to t.ike. The next time I stood over her, her mother and sister stood over her too — but she lay in her grave. There being but few rcgiilciit Protestants on the Island the atten- dance at church was very smill, soLlom exceeding 15. The collections amounted to 617.82 and were disposed of in the following manner : Donation to a destitute Norwegian girl $7.11 To Expeni-es of Kurul Dean 3.00 To German Bibles and Prayer Boolvs 3.00 To Mission Fund of the Church Society 4.71 While at Grosso Isb I visited the few Protestants at Crane Island, Isle-aux-Ileaus, and St. Thomas, and held services for thena. BOUPxG LOUIS. On the 28th of September I entered upon my labours in Bourg Louis. In this mis4on there are GO Cimrch families who are for the most purt very poor; many of them are unable to come to church for want of clothes. List J uly several of them lost all their potatoes and buckwheat tlirougli frost. Quite a number have left this fall, some to earn a little money for their fuiuilics, others to seek a iiome in some more favourable locality, and more are medi- tating a like luovement. But notwithstanding these recent removals the attendance at church is very good, and, considering hoiv scattered the people are, very regular. When the roads are passable the attoDdance averages 27 80 OQ Sunday morningp, anC 40 on Sunday afternoons and Saints' days. Our services are very hearty. The responses are loud and genera], and tlie sin-in^', which is copgrc-gationul and accompanied by a harmonium, is iHroDi; and epiriled. The people are very kindly disposed towards their clergyman and are ready to do all in their power to help and oblige him. It is pleasing to t=eG how warmly they cherish the memory of their former pastors. A short time af^o I read to them, in two readings, tlic memorial s-ketcii of the life of the Kevd. Mr. Cookcsley On boih evenings, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the church was full. They listened with the deepest interest and emotion, and when I was reading the latter part of the little volume, I think there was scarcely a tearless eye in the whole congreuratina. The p".rsonage is $12G in debt, and 8200 more will be required to finish and make it comfortable. R, C. Tambs. ACTON VALE. At the beginning of this ycir, I had charge of the Dissentient School of this village, but finding that the school occupied more time than 1 could concfistcntly with ray other engagements five to it I ceased to act as teacher on the ISth of May last. The year lias not been without its financi;il difficulties. We have had a largo assessment to raise, and but few wealthy persons to whom we could look for assistance. The Congregation deeming their assessment higher in >proportion than that of othef Missions, a Vestry meeting was held, and a memorial was subsequently pre- sented to the JJiocesan Board containing a statement of our grievances. In answer, we were desired tj suggest some means by which our burden might bo lightened, and the Board saved from the painful necessity of closing the Mission. Fortunately for us, the Mission of Upton in the Diocese of Montreal happened at 28 the timo to be without tho services of a Clorpyman, and with the consent of both Diocesans the I\Iissions of Upton and Acton Vale were amalgamated with tlic proviso that $250 towards the Clergy- man's stipend should bo raised in the Diocese of Montreal; our own Diocese undertaking to provide tho remainder. There are 38 Protestant i'lniilies in this Mission, of which only 10 belong to tho church. Of thirty communicants, the aver.igo attendance at tho Holy Communion is 9.

The Fenian movement of laible of the inadequate manner in wliicli, in many instances, I have discharged the duties of my office, yet I cannot but hope .that my labours have proved a bleseing to many of those over whom I have the spiritual oversight. T'his conviction arises from the fact tliat the attendance at the services at Coaticook and Barfjrd has steadily increased during the present year. The congregations at both places are more reverential in their demeanour, more regular in their attendance, and join in the responsive parts of the service with a readiness and hearty good will which can only be r.'ttiibuted to an awakening of their religious feelings.

It app?ared strange t^; me, when T first came to reside in this beautiful locality, th i'; the vilbme should have boon in existence for more than seventy years and destitute of any resident religious teacher for nearly t!ie whole of that period, aad yet that no perma- nent effort should have been njau(3 to secure for the roidents the seiviccs of the English Church. This of course makes the Mission- ary's labour more arduous, tho Held having been for so long a timo 41 comparatively vacant for every wandering teacher wbo came alogn to indoctrinate the niiDds oC the people with their own variable and unsatisfactory opinions, to the neglect of the Sacraments and toacli- ing of tlic Church, and loading tlicui further away fiom the purity and simplicity of the Gospel of Christ. Since we commenced our services liere we have lost, by removal, a lew families who had in other places for many years been firmly attached to tlie scrvi'^e^ of the Oliurch, but, notwithstanding, our congregations kee]i np to the mark, — the responses are good and (!hurch-likc ; the pews in our beautiful new church well let, and the spirit of devout seriousness manifested during the celebration of divine service remarkable and growing, leading us to hope that the great Head of the Churcli presides over our worsliipping congrega- tions and that the fruit will be seen after many days. Our great and, so far as I can judge, only hindrance to present and future additional prosperity, is the want of pccuniiiry help. Tlie people have given so munilicciitly towards the erection of our church and other matters connected with the establishment of a new mission tliat, in the absence of outside help of a permanent kind towards the sustentation of the mission, many have felt discouraged lest they should have been s}»ending their strength for nought, and that for simple lack of assistance of a pecuniary nature, we should not bo able to maintain our position, but the silver and the gold are the Lord's, and the cattle upon a thousand hills, and doubtless He will send us lielp in His own good time, and not suffer our strength totally to fail. We have not been able, because of our own immediate and press- ing necessities, to make all the collections and provide a list of subscribers in aid of the objects contemplated by the Church So- ciety, but liope to do so before long, James Thorneloe. 42 IIOPETOWN AND PORT DANIEL.

Here we have about SO persons, surrounded by a Pioman Catholic population. These few poor jiconlc have put up the frame of a little Church, boarded it in, and shingled it. We expect to open it for service next spring. This is an interesting station, as the nucleus of a future church congregation. There are a few Church families living destitute of the means of Grace, from five to ten miles cast of it.- During the year Messrs, C. Piobin & Co., of Jersey, made a present of a fine bell i'ur the Ohigouac Church, and through the kindness of their agent at Paspebiac, Moses (libuult, Ksq., tlicy subscribed liberally for the Ilopctown and L'Ansc Gascon Churches. The Messrs. Lelioutillicr. of Paspebiac, subscribed liberally for the same objects. Miss Eobin, of Jersey, gent us some nice prize cards for the Sunday School, and we have just received a ca'jo of books from the S. P. C. K. — some for distribution, and sumo f )r our library. Last spring, fbr the lirst time, we opened our Sunduy School in tlu; Chureli. Among the diiliculties we have to contend witli, may be mentioned the want of suitable teachers, and of punctuality of attendance. I cx.imined the children before the conirrei'itidn, a short time ago, in the Catechism. This is an interesting service, as it conveys inl'oru.aiidu to tlic congregation, as well as to the chil- dren, on the distinctive teaching of ilic Church and the cardinal truths of Christianity. I hnd it very dilhcult to collect money for any object; in short, the people have none to give. Most of them ^ro very poor indeed: With groat perseverance wo are enabled to 43 make up the assessment of the Mission in produce. There is a fair attcndanco at Cimrch at Von Daniel and Ilopetown, but at (.lugouuc, where wo have service orce a day every Sunday, there is generally a lull Church. I find a much better observance of the babbath than formerly, and some manifest a growim,^ interest in thoir spiritual welfare. Our communicants are generully rc^^ular in their attendance at the Holy Communion, which I hope they feel a rctrcsiung time from the preseneo of the Lord. Trials and perplexi- ties often encumber our j.ath. Htill '-'every dark cloud has its SI very hmng." I never grow weary of preaching Christ Dyin- thnst llisen, Christ the Intercessor, Christ the great Saviour, able' and willing to save to the uttermost all who come unto God throu-^h ihm. 31ay the Holy Ghost bless the bread cast upon the waters.^ I*. T0C(>UE. IIlELAxND AND SOUTH INVERNESS. I feel sincerely thankful to be able to report that the Mission continues to make progress, though not to the extent to be desired Divine Service has been conducted without interruption in the two Caurches on Sundays, and some of the principal holydays throughout the year. ' There are also four localities far distant frora both Churches, at one or which an evening service, with a lecture or catechising, is con- ducted every Wednesday. Near the end of last January, the Bishop confirmed seventy per- sons in the two Churches, several of whom were from thirty to over forty years of age. It was at the period of the severest snow-storm of the season, and I feared that neither his Lordship nor many of the candidates would be able fo arrive. The Bishop by oroat exer- tions reached the Church in Ireland at the conclusion 0/ Mornin- Prayer, and of the candidates all, with one solitary exception" struggled through the accumulated masses of snow, and became recipients of the sacred rite. If it There Lave been fifty-two baptisms, five niarriagos, and nino burials during tlic year. We have got the Ibundution of an cnduwnuicnt fund, to which I hope augmentations will, I'rom time to time, bo made. Wo arc indebted to Charles King, Es(|., Lystcr, for the attainment of this object. This gcutleman, though residing in another Mission, with Christian hbcrality oll'cred to us one hundred dullars, if wc could collect an equal amount in a specified time, which has happily been accomplished. Before this affair of an endowment was thus entered upon, wc had commenced collecting subscriptions for the purchase of a bell for Trinity Church, Ireland, which— though unavoidably deferred for a time— will, I feel confident, ultimately be obtained. The collecting of funds for these objects, coupled with the greatly reduced prices of agricultural produce, has unavoidably lessened the amount this year transmitted to the Society below the average of former years. I forgot to state, before entering into pecuniary matters, that the Sunday School at Trinity Church was very cflitiently conducted from an early period in spring until the commencement of winter, by the teachers of former years. As iMissionary or Chairman of the School Commissioners, I visit and impart religious instruction in the elementary schools throughout the Mission. llOBERT GllANT WaUU. •» IM* LENXOXVILLE. The amount subscrii)cd in Leunoxvillc— 883.25— equals that of last year, notwithstanding the removal from the Mis.-~ion o^ several families who were liberal supporters of the Church of England insti- tutions. I am glad to say that the attendance on our Church ser- vices and the number of our communicants are quite as large aa formerly. And, although our pecuniary obligations arc very lieavy, so much BO that the loss even of one contributor to our funds ia •» IM* t r 46 greatly folt, yet I trust that at the end of tho year there will be no deficiency. In the uiontli of February last, tho Bishop adnunistcred the holy rite of Confirmation in our Church, when fifty- tour candidates — (sixteen being boys from the School) — received, we hope, tho strengthening of the Holy Chost, and wiire mudo partakers of the seven-fold gifts of Craco. Tho greater part of those confirmed arc now regular connnunicants. Wo have purchased a site for'a new Church, at a cost of about $1,250, and have made a small beginning in collecting funds for the building. It will be some time, I fear, before we are in a position to build. A. C. ScAiixn. ** m LEVIS AND NEW LIVERPOOL. Both Congregations have satisfactorily discharged their peeuni!iry engagements fur the past 3ear. Ellorts are still in progress to liquidate the mortgage on the Parsonage, the payment of which has been assumed by the congregation. During the sumuicr the num- ber of children at Levis under instruction exceeded 70: of these 22 were admitted on the 10th Sunday after Trinity to the rite of Confirmation, at which time they all voluntarily presented them- selves at the Holy Table. The Lord's Supper is administered whenever the Communion OHico is used, and the result has been an increase in the number as well as in the appirent devotion of tho communicants. There is probably no church in the diocese where, in proportion to its numerical strength, there is a larger or more regular attendance at Holy Communion. At New Liverpool - MALI) AT. I am ^lad to be able to report that durin-j; tlio p;ist your the mis-- BioD has shown more signs of ppiiituul iifo ili.ni it has done since I assumed tlic charge. None of our .services wore interrupt(>d last ' winter by the wcatlier. Wo had Divine service every Lord's Day morning at Malbay, (except on one in the month which is given to Corner of tlic Beach) and iu the afternoon, iu ditlcrent i'amilie5<, and wlien it could be done, on my return home, a tlurd but shorter service was al^o given. From J)cccmbcr to J'lastor I had prayer, and a sermon or lecture in these places every Wednesday evcninj:, and on one or two occasions when I expected (o meet with very i'cw on account of the bad wcatlier, the ruOMi w;is crowded. [ wish to mention thi.-,- because inuiy iu tiaie past had showed littlo regard to things Divine, and the Church suffered, not only because tlio little help sucli were able to i;ivc was withdraw u iVoni its channel, but because the Word seem ;a to be preached to unwilling oars, even when they themselves sometimes sat under IheCospcl ministrations. I circulated a list of the times and places a': which these services were to be held, and found that it i.isurc 1 punctuality and regu- larity. I also visited them (Vom home to hoaio, the families being always together in winter and there being less to disquiet their minds at this season, tlun when in the midst of their perilous sum- mer avocations. The fisheries having partly fiilod in I.SGG, many pas.sed a trying winter, some had not even the bare nece.v-aries of life, althougli few among our Protestant biethivn were reluc^'d to that condition. Flour has lately been sent here by (I n-ernment, for both Protestants and Roman CathuliC'i who have worked to open a roid, yet all seems to indicate that this winter will be to many as bad as last was. >- I 47 On Kuster Sunday 120 ciiino to llio Lord's Supper at Malbay, und 10 at tlio Corner nl' iho Uc ich tlio Sabbath Iblluwinfr.

Tbc occasion was improved, and tiio by-stanJers admonislicd not to postpone this jircparution to a sick-bed. or to a future oiler which perhaps nii^bt never eomc to tiicm. Our Sunday School has been very much iiitcrru[)ted during sum- mer, lor want both ol' teachers and .seliola--. It has not , there can bo but little besides the usual routine. The regular Sunday and occasional services in church, and the visitation of tlic sick, the agod, See. have liitlo variation one year from an- other. During last year, ^Yi(h the execution of llvo weeks in Ju;ie and July when 1 was contincd to tho house by a scvero attack of ery- sipelas in the head and face, the cilocta of which I still foci, I have been enabled by tho good providence of God, to attend to the work of the mission as in former ycr.'^, and, so fn' as we may judge from outward appearances, it continues in ;i satisfactory stute. The at- tendance at Church has rather increased and a few have been added to tho list of ComtuunicaQts.

The amount assessed on the Mission by tho Diocesan Hoard, will, I expect, bo all paid up by tho end of the year, although tlie churchwardens of St, Andrew's church.

Two collections for Churcli Society [''nnds wore made at each cliurch, and tlie amount remiUcd to tiie i'reasurer was ii?2S.lO. As to church works, — it was iiiiende.l to improve St. I'olcr'is church, Paspcbiac, by erecting a cliancel and vestry; but my illness prevented its accon)plisbment 'or this season. The tower of St. Andrew's church has been linished off with a neat little spire. Geoiiue Milne. IIIVIERE DIJ LOUP KX BAS. Tiic condition of this ^Mission is tho same as it was last year.

SANDY lilOACri. Tho rood hand of Ood liaviug brought us through another year, I proceed to givo you an account of II I ^ douliiijjs with us during its course, laying Loforo ynu a record of tho state, progress, and pros- pccto of tl;!^ Mission. And, Urst, shall speak of its temporal con- oornH, then of its spiritual. Last year closed with very gloomy prospects, — tl;o lislierien, our great, indeed our only staplo produc- tion, were almost a t'ailuro, tho crops scanty and bad, and numbers of tlio people couseiiucntly so wretchedly poor, that, for tho np« proaehitig winter, groit distress, amounting almost to famine, was anticipated. This was dreaded tho more us it was supposed that only an iuudequato supply ot' provisions had been imported by tho merchants, who wore averse to keeping on hand largo stocks df Hour and pork, as had heretofore been thoir custom, lest tho people, who they knew were not able to purchase, and who were already largely indebted to them, should be driven by tho pressure of distress to bleak into the stores and help themselves. In the;C gloomy anticipitions I I'ally shared, and looked to the close of the navigation and the cessation of intercourse with the more fivourcd parts of the Province with gre.it uneasiness. When the time actaally c.ime, however, we found that God was more m;'rciful to us than v/c had dared to expect : there was no actual famine, or even severe suffering from want of food, though there was much straitiiess of circum- stances and some severe privation, whole families having to live for weeks on salt herrings alone, without either potatoes or bread. Notwithstanding this general depression and scarcity, this Mission paid in full the usual contribution to my salary, and nearly as much as usual to the Church Society. To the cniargemont of our 7 50 Endowment Fund wc were not ablo to contribute; that has as yet pained no augmentation, save from the acouaiulation of the interest of tiie sum already invested. We hope, however, that when tho present pressure upon the people, arising from the causes already adverted to, and still acting, though not to the same degree as last year, shall have passed away, exertions will be niauo to enlarge the fund, which, with God's bles^^ing, will yet suffice to r ndcr the Mitision self-supporting. All those of my parishioners engaged in the whale fishery have, through the mercy of God, been brought home in safety : and, with the exception of the hay, which i'ailed. all our crops are good : so that on the whole we have abundant cause to bless and prait^e Iliui who hath opened His hand and filled us with plentcousness. As to our spiritual progress, there is no cause for despair or despondency, though there is much for self-examination and con- fession befoie liitn, that trieth thn reins and tho heart, on account of our insuflieient appreciation of, and improvement by, the means and privileges aff'orded us. Some fruits, however, have been borne, and I believe tlial a continued though silent progress has been made by many in divine things. I li.'ive been enabled with verv few intermissions from ill liealth, to hold all the usual public services in the iMis^ion, aiiil to make my customary visits from house to In .-e; and though there are no striking triumplis of Divine grace to record, some have ripened for the sp'vitual world, and departed in the blessed ho[io of eternal life, leaving behind them a good testimony to the sustaining grace of God, and a sweet assurance that th.cy entered into peace. The public servic;es have been well attended, and I do not think that the congregations here would, in a spiritual point of view, lose anything in comparison with congregations of similar numbers in other parts of the country more highly favoured in material wealth. Duiing the year tho baptisms liavc been 17; marriages, 4; burials, 5. 51 I am sorry tliat this report must seem so mea;rrc and uninteresting, but, with a strict adiiorence to facts, itcionot be otherwise; nor can it be reasonably expected that in a remote district, long ago settled, and not dififeriag in the character of its inhabitants from other poor and sccluiJed country places, in the usual course of events, any very striking occurrences, such as would fix the interest of the religious public, should transpire. Matthew Ker. STANSTEAD. I am happy to be able to report that every year finds us in an improved condition as regards the prospects of the Church in this U dly ission. iunaiicially, we are greatly improved since my arrival lierc five years ago. Were the congregation generally infused with a true Church spirit, greater success would attend our work as a Church Mission. As it is, wo labour under the painful disadvantage nf a long prior occupation of the field by diisenting bodies. But fow of our people have been brought up in the Church, and conse- quently there is a felt want of Church principles amongst us, as in other parts of the Eastern Townships. But notwithstanding our discouragements, I am able to report that with the assistance of liberal friends in Staostcad, Quebec and Montreal, the following amounts have been realized during the past year: — For Parsonage 811(33.50 lioofiug Church 427.00 Church of England J)caf and Dumb School.... o5.00 In aid of llatlcy Endown.ent Fund 75.00 Donations towards Bev. Mr. Fylc's Mission, (^^lontreal) „ 34. (jO Widows' and Orphans' Fund , 4. 00 Sunday School 17.00 Ualaucc OQ note for Church debt ,.,., 100,00 If 53 Wbicb, togetbev with clergyman's salary and other expenses, make up an amount of 62000 received during the past year. Last spring a Parsonage was bought tlirough sheer necessity at an expense of 82400. With the liberal assistance of two Churchmen of Quebec and Montreal, §1163.50 was promptly raised towards this objrf><-.. THE RECTORY OF THREE RIYERS. Last year it was the pleasing duty of the Slissionary in charge to report the liberality of a lady (a comparative stranger) to St. James' Church. Since then others appear to have been influenccil by sentiments of n similar character. In the spring of the year, two young ladies— Miss J. Jones and Miss C. An trobus— determined to collect money to i3rocure suitable hangings fur the pulpit and roa.Hng-dcsk, and a carpet f.;- the chr.ncol; and so earnestly did tliey go to work, tliat they were completed before Whitsuntide (the period when the Bishop held his ConfirmatioD) at a cost of fifty-five dollars. Mrs. Ogden, Senr., an estimable and Christian lady, a leiulln^ member of the community, whoso heart is engaged in every <:ood work, has long conceived a dedrc to provide a suitable font for the due and proper administration of the Sacrament of Baptism. With praiseworthy zeal and the assistance of some friends in Montreal, to whom she had made known lier wishes, a handsomo one of Gothic design was placed iu the Church in Juno last. In accordance with the law which came into force last August, requiring the doors of all churches and public builtiin-s to open outwards, in case of firo, etc., a neat and substantial one was substituted for the old one, which has stood the b:U,tlo and the breeze lor so long a time. It cost $50. which was generously given by one family, steadfast members of the congregation, Mr. Hooper and hig two sisters, of Point du Lae. Such iibcrulity on their part deserves to be recorded. 53 During the year wo have had valuiblc additions to our congregation. Throu^li the exertions and perscveranco of Mr. F. W. Orinsby, tliis jear the subscriptions to the Ciiurch Society have been larger than for many years before. Though tlie Church is considerably in arrears to the (JhurchWardens, for improvements and disbursements, it lias been decided to send in the full amount to the parent society. As Nicolet has no longer a resident clergyman, the undersigned u ■ ' -^pon every available occ-^sion to give them a service, particularly i.n he is fortunate enough to get his own duty supplied on a Sunday, which is not very often. At present it may be truly said oi' them, they are as ''sheep without a shepherd." There were collected in this Parish during the past year : Easter -Oficring $ 18.00 Collection for Synod expenses 4.50 Annual Sermon for Church Society 9.00 Do. \\ulows and Orphans G.OO Collections to Labrador Mi.-:sion 32.00 Annual Subscription to Church Society G1.50 Hangings for the Church, etc 53.00 Front d.ior for do 50.00 Paitititig and repairing do -. 15.00 Christmas collection for poor 13.50 Total 6267.50 John Torrance.
