Examination will show that it has been considerably improved ; the aim having been to make it more useful and attractive than ever. It seeks to aid the best interests of the Church throughout the Dominion. As in former years, indebtedness is heartily acknow- ledged for the timely and suitable contributions with which well- known writers, ministerial and lay, have favoured us. i THE EDITOR.

The new business was the largest in the Company's history and was equalled by but one other Canadian Life Company. The income for the year exceeds taiOoo for each dajr in the year, Sundays included. The Assets are large and rapidly increasing. They are moreover of the highest character, yielding an average interest of 6.04 per cent. The overdue interest is small and the Real Estate owned under foreclosure is only tour per cent, ot the amount of mortgages. This is a remarkable showing. The surplus accumulated durinir the FOUR years of the current quii guenniuiii is nearly three times as much as the amount earned during anv previous FIVE years, and the profits to Policy-Holders cannot fail thus to be highly satisfactory. The prosperity of the Sun Life is no doubt largely due to its unconditional Policies and prompt payment of claims. Its reputation for honorable and liberal dealing could not bat be of the utmost value to any institution. CONTENTS. Postal Information - - Calendar ......

We all know that the doctors agree — there is not one in the world that does not agree — that cod-liver oil is a fat-making food, the life- saving food for those who need it. For some it is the only means of life. This universal agreement on cod-liver oil is the growth of generations of medical thought. But the form in which cod-liver oil has reached its greatest usefulness is Scott's Emulsion ; and this, in sixteen years, has come to use the livers of half the Norwegian catch of codfish ! The taste has had something to do with the success of this great improvement of cod liver oil — it does not taste bad — some like it, especi- ally children. Physicians know all about it ; but there are thousands of people to whom the taste of cod- liver oil is a bug-bear yet ! Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil, at any drug store, 50c. and $1.

PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 39 THE MODERATOR. RBV. THOMAS WARDROPB, D.D., GUBLPH. 1l\CtbAP0 the Moderator never was better described than by an Ur enthusiastic admirer who said : "Give me Dr. Wardrope ; he is respectable every time." Unique respectability in everything and perennial amiability are the Moderator's strong points as a man and a minister. A really good preacher without being a great one, a happy and effective platform speaker but not conspicuously eloquent or powerful, a good church court man without any special knowledge of the Book of Forms, a man of fine missionary spirit without making missions a hobby, a life-long and pronounced temperance man, but not a narrow specialist, a progressive man but not a radical, conser* vative but not an obstructionist, zealous but always prudent, evangelical but never gushy. Dr. Wardrope is one of those nnely-balanced men who never fail to have influence in a Presbyterian church. Whatever he does will be respectably done, whatever he says will be said in the best and happiest style. In the pulpit, on the platform, in the Church courts, on the most irritating committee that ever tried clerical temper, on church commissions that mean much, or in making or replying to addresses that mean little or nothing. Dr. Wardrope may always be trusted to say the right thing in the most pleasant way. As his admirer observed, he is respectable every time. Dr. Thomas Wardrope was born in Ladykirk, Berwickshire, Scot- land, in May, i8ig, and began his studies for the ministry in Edin- burgh under Pillans and Dunbar. His father, also a Rev. Thomas Wardrope, was a licentiate of the Church of Scotland, and for years taught the parish school of Ladykirk. From him the future Moderator probably learned those habits of correct speech which never fail him even in the most critical situations. In 1834 the family came to Canada and settled in the township of Flamboro', then a wilderness. After trying his hand for several years at bush farming, he resumed his studies, taking lessons from his father under the superintendence of the Presbytery of Hamilton. In 1842 he entered Queen's College, Kingston, and after the Disruption of 1844 taught for some time the Grammar School of Bytown, now Ottawa. In 1845 he was ordained and inducted pastor of Knox Church, Bytown, in which charge he remained for fourteen years. During these years his actual parish was the Ottawa valley. Like many of the founders of the Free Church, the youthful pastor of Knox Church, Bytown, greatly enjoyed a good preaching tour. To go up the Ottawa, or make a tour through one or two of the older townships was to him a pleasure, and many and rich are the incidents the genial Moderator can relate of these early days. The typical minister of that time was a Home Mission man, and if modern congregations were less exacting in their demands, and their pastors and modern ministers could enjoy Home Mission work occasion- ally, some of our Home Mission problems would be easier solved. 11 40 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. In 1869 Dr. Wardrope was translated to Chalmers' Church, Guelph, his present charge. His pastorates have been few but his honours have been many. In 1858 he was appointed Moderator of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada ; from 1873 to 1877 he was Convener of the Assembly's Committee on the State of Religion, a position his turn of mind and attainments enabled him to adorn ; from 1883 until last year he was Convener of the Assembly's Foreign Mis- sion Committee, and during his term of office was privileged to see the v;ork under his charge greatly extended and the missionary spirit of the Church quickened. A short time after the Union of 1875 ^^^ degree of Doctor in Divinity was conferred upon him by the authorities of Queen's University, an honour as deservedly won as it is worthily worn. His election to the Moderator's chair in June was made unanimous, and it is safe to say that few elections to the highest place in the gift of the Supreme Court were ever more heartily endorsed by the people of Canada. Queen's celebrated her first jubilee two years ago. Among the many representative men who took part in the proceedings there were three whose presence awakened suggestive memories and whose speeches were heard and afterwards read with peculiar interest. These were Sir John Macdonald, Dr. Reid and Dr. Wardrope. Sir John and Dr. Reid took part in the meeting held in Kingston fifty years before to lay the foundations of the University. Dr. Wardrope was one of the first students, and the account he gave of his four days' drive from Flamboro' to the University seat, and his hunt for the institution when he arrived, were a long way from being the least interesting part of the jubilee programme. The immediate cause of his going should not be overlooked. He had heard Dr. Bayne, of Gait, preach on a week day in a log church in the township of Puslinch. With his usual power the Doctor urged the claims of the new college, and pressed home the binding command to preach the Gospel to every creature. To that sermon the Church probably owes the Moderator and his life work. Then and there he resolved that by the grace and help of God he would be present at the opening of that new college. The rest forms part of the history of Presbyterianism in Canada. Who can tell the consequences that may follow the preaching of one sermon ? A sermon, even in a log church on a week day, may be a great event if the preacher is a Bayne. It has already been stated that one of Dr. Wardrope's most marked characteristics is his well-known amiability. It must not be supposed, however, that his amiability arises from weakness of character. He is a man of strong convictions, but he possesses in a rare degree the faculty — the invaluable faculty— of propagating his opinions without wounding anybody's sensibilities. A Liberal by instinct, he probably never had a difficulty with the most pronounced Tory in Ottawa or Guelph. A strong, outspoken temperance man all his days, he never called a liquor seller a hard name. One of the first and most active advocates of liberty in the use of hymns and instruments in public worship, he would be a welcome visitor in the home of the most stal- wart Highlander in Puslinch or Glengarry. A worthy man at the !S t-. * !aili '»" aJ 'tt' a "' " >aWWWi'wt* PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 41 assembly was not far from the facts when he said, " Dr. Wardrope is good a man for Moderator." Good nature that even a General Lssembly cannot disturb in ten hot days is a sight well worth seeing, ken if it does at times hold the reins a little loosely and allow the )ook of Forms to disappear temporarily from the ecclesiastical con feyance. Dr. Wardrope splitting legal hairs would have been oppres- ive Dr. Wardrope ruling by downright good nature was pleasing, because strictly in accordance with the fitness of things. HOME MISSIONS. BY THE REV W. S. M'TAVISH, B.D., ST. GEORGE, ONT. |t« (BtAtttt in his well-known book, " From Ocean to Ocean," says, " Travel a thousand miles up the St. Lawrence ; another |iousand on great lakes and a wilderness of lakelets and streams ; a ^ousand miles across prairies and up the valley of the Saskatchewan ; id nearly a thousand through woods and up great ranges of moun- Uns, and you have travelled from ocean to ocean through Canada." lut even that territory, vast as it is, is not quite conterminous with )at within which the Presbyterian Church in Canada is called upon do Home Mission work. The island of Newfoundland must not be /erlooked. Few, if any. Churches, therefore, have a grander, more Kouraging, or more hopeful field in which to exercise missionary :tivity. It is little wonder, then, that the work of Home Missions is Ivancing with such rapid strides. It would indeed be little to her |:edit if the reports which are presented by the Church from year to ir did not show that substantial progress was being made in every spartment of Home Mission work. Fortunately there is no need for ^remiads, for the reports indicate that the Church in Canada has the empathy of the Churches in the older lands ; that her people are be- aming more and more alive to the necessity of prosecuting this work ^ith energy and decision ; that the labourers ia the various fields are Irorkmen who need not be ashamed ; and, above all, that God is rowning their labours with much success. While due credit must be given to the great body of the people who lave furnished the sinews of war, to the pastors who have encouraged nem to do so, and to the presbyterial conveners who have kept a judicious tratch over the needs of their respective fields, yet the success which |as attended our Home Mission enterprises is largely to be attributed, Inder God, to the Rev. A. Findlay, who, in the face of many difficul- \es, has traversed again ^nd again the wilds of Muskbka and Algoma ; Dr. Robertson, who has deprived himself of the comforts of home in ^rder that he might survey every foot of land in the vast territory of which le is the superintendent ; to Dr. Cochrane, who has given to the fields ind missionaries alike the benefit of his mature judgment and untir- 43 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. ing energy ; to the Rev. John McMillan, who has done so much to conserve the interests of Presbyterianism in the East ; to Dr. Warden and Rev. P. M. Morrison, who have looked carefully after the expen- diture ; and to the two venerable clerks of the General Assembly, Drs. Reid and Fraser. whose labours in the cause of Home Missions are so well known that they need not be specified. In reviewing the work of the past year it will be more convenient to deal first with that done by the Committee of the Western Section, and then to notice the salient features of the work in the East. WESTERN SECTION. That branch of the heme work on which least money is expended is the Mission to Lumbermen. Last year the Rev. D. L. McKechnie, of Mattawa, " travelled about looo miles through the woods and over frozen lakes ; visited 33 shanties, 12 lumbering depots, 3 Hudson Bay posts, i mine, and 16 stopping places, and delivered in all 60 ad- dresses. The region visited by Mr. McKechnie embraced camps ^o miles south of Mattawa and 150 miles north. The visits of the mis> sionary and the literature he distributes are vefy highly valued by the men m the woods. The mission has sent large quantities of literature to the shanties through the agency of the colporteurs of the Ottawa Auxiliary Bible Society. By this means about 250 camps and depots were visited during the past winter. . . God only knows the harvest there will be from the sowing of this seed in these out-of-the-way places. The total amount received during the year from all sources was I347.60, the expenditure V313.70. " The branch next in importance is that directed by the Students' Missionary Societies of the various colleges. Each college, even Man- itoba, the youngest in the sisterhood, has a missionary society. The work done by these societies is largely of a pioneer character. The more sparsely-settled districts are entered, stations are organized, and when the fields become self-supporting, or nearly so, they are handed over to the care of the Home Mission Committee. A great deal of work is done gratis in stations in and around ttife c/.ies in which the colleges are located. Services are also freely rendered in gaols, prisons, asy- lums and hospitals. These societies are maintained by the voluntary contributions of the students and their friends, and by collections taken up in the fields which have been supplied. The following are the re- ceipts of the college missionary societies for the past year : Morrin, 9350 ; Montreal, $2,200 ; Queen's, 92,015 ; Knox, 93.546 ; Manitoba, 9470 ; making a total of 98,581. This is a very gratifying showing, because it indicates that the younger societies are pushing their way upward, and that the older ones are steadily enlarging their spheres of usefulness, and increasing their contributions. The great work of the Committei^ consists in directing and con- trolling missionary operations within the bounds of the thirty-two Presbyteries which constitute the Western Section of the Church. New stations are organized, and existing ones are continued as mission stations, or, when desirable, raised to the status of augmented con- PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 43 gregations. The work of superintending these fields is so great that it is impossible to present anything like a detailed description of it. Of course, in some Presbyteries there is little work to be done. Huron, Stratford, Maitland arid Whitby have no mission stations—at least, they report none ; Tendon, Glengarry, Paris and Orangeville have only one each, but Regina has 24, Winnipeg 28, and Barrte no less than 44. The magnitude of the work will be seen when it is remem- bered that there are 880 preaching stations, with more than 10,000 families, and nearly 13,000 communicants. As was to be expected the most rapid development has taken place it the far West. The broad, fertile prairies, ana the almost inexhaus- tible coal-beds of the North-West ; the luxurious forests, the rich min- eral deposits and the salubrious climate of British Columbia have attracted thousands of settlers. The result has been that the rural districts have become more densely populated, thriving villages have sprung up in an incredibly short space of time, and these are rapidly developing into flourishing towns and cities. Mission stations, there- fore, soon become augmented congregations, and augmented congre- gations soon become self-sustaining. Five years ago the Presbytery of Columbia was organized. Then there were 6 charges, now there are 77. Six years ago there were in the North-West and British Col umbia 254 sta 'ons, now there are 611 ; then there were 3,783 commu- nicants, now thjre are 11,933 The rapid extension of the work in the West urgently calls for increased liberality on the part of the Church. Looking at these fields from the lowest standpoint — the financial — the Church cannot afford to neglect them. If the settlers are followed up now and provided with the means of grace, they will in a few years furnish a large proportion of the means for the still more vigorous prosecution of the work. A little handful of seed sown now will soon produce a glorious harvest. "There is that scattereth and yet increaseth." In the districts of Muskoka, Algoma, Parry Sound and Nipissing the work has been prosecuted, often in the face of serious obstacles, with a good deal of vigour. In the nature of things it cannot be expected that mission stations there will develop as rapidly into self-sustaining congregations as they do in the North-West. The country does not attract so many settlers, and even those who do enter require time to hew down the primeval forests, clear the land and fit it for agricultural purposes. The virgin soil of the prairie is ever ready for the plough. The settler in northern Ontario must have patience. He must make the woods " bow beneath his sturdy stroke " before he can expect to till the soil and reap a harvest. But though the progress there has not been so rapid as it has been in the far West it has been very substan . tial. A number of new mission stations have been organized, and ar few of the older ones have become self-supporting charges. The super- .intendent of that district says : — " We have suffered somewhat from a lack of men to take charge of the work during the winter months. Yet it is a hopeful sign that the attention of the Church is being called Ito this most important point, and we feel confident that some means twill be devised ere long whereby this great drawback to the prosperity and "Advancement of our work will be removed." 44 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. Thti receipts for the past year (exclusive of what was received for the Lumbermen's Mission, and from College Societies) were 953,935.98. But it should be remembered that in adfdition to the above, congre- fations expended for mission work, mainly in the cities, the sum of 27,360.96. Though the receipts were large— larger than on the previous year by 9ii000— yet there was a deficiency of 11,409 98. As an indication of the interest taken in mission work in Canada by the Churches of the motherlands it may be mentioned that the Presbyterian Church in Ireland contributed /loo, the Free Church of Scotland ;^20o, and the Church of Scotland £^125. A few sentences from the Committee's report deserve to be repro- duced here :— " As to the future it is evident that, unless thn mission work of the Church is to be seriously curtailed, the amounts placed at the disposal of the Committee, both for Home Missions and Augmenta- tion, must be considerably increased. Manitoba and the North West and British Columbia will of necessity, as emigration flows in, require larger sums than in the past. This year the North-West (including Manitoba) received some 929,200, and British Columbia nearly $4,500. Next year British Columbia will require at least 97,000, and the North- west a proportionate increase, ii the Church is to maintain its hold and supply destitute regions beyond our present missionary limits." EASTERN SECTION. The work in the Eastern Section is very similar to that undertaken in the Western. But it is not so extensive. Last April 250 missionaries were sent out by the Committee of the Western Section ; 87 were given employment in the Maritime Provinces and in Newfoundland by the Committee of the Eastern Section A report of the work done among the lumbermen may be presented in the words of the Committee. "The lumbermen form a very im- portant part of our population in the winter. They are scattered through the forests all over the country, but are more numerous in the northern part of New Brunswick, in both ths Presbyteries of St. John and Miramichi. We are happy to report that each of these Presby- teries provided in some measure for their spiritual wants. Mr. Watson, a layman, was employed by the St. John Presbytery, and the Rev. A. H. Cameron, ordained missionary at Metapedia, spent several weeks among the camps within the bounds of the Presbytery of Mira- michi. The importance of sowing the good seed in such places we cannot over-estimate. The surroundings of the men are most unfavour- able to Christian character, and every effort should be used to coun- teract the deteriorating influences of their position. May the Lord bless His own truth to the preservation and salvation of many." Within the bounds of nine of the Eastern Presbyteries mission work is carried on in 167 stations. It is a lamentable fact that though there are so many stations only seventy-four of them are furnished with churches. At the remaining points missionaries are obliged to conduct services in halls, schools and private houses. The question of finding winter supply for those stations far remote PKKSUYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 45 It ions far remote from the colleges is still a perplexing one to the whole Church. The ditBculty has been partially obviated in the East by pressing elders into the service. During the past winter about a dozen elders gratui- tously conducted services in so.-ne of the more neglected districts. Their labours have been so much appreciated that an effort will be made to enlist more of them in the work. The total receipts last year were 9x1.528.58, an increase of 9212.00 on the previous year. But though a numtier of elders have undertaken to conduct public worship in desolate regions, and though the receipts are steadily on the increase, there still comes a cry for more men and money. Will the Church respond ? Let the reports of the future answer. AUGMBNTATION. A minor key is struck especially in the Western Section when the subject of Augmentation is touched. In the East the outlook is hope- ful as the receipts have almost equalled the expenditure, but in the West there is a deficit of over $4,000. It was feared by many that the stipends of ministers in augmented charges would have to be still further reduced. But at the last meeting of the General Assembly the following resolution was adopted: "'^lic General Assembly regrets that the year has closed with a deficit in both the Home Mission and Augmentation Funds, and earnestly urges on all Presbyteries to take immediate action to secure increased contributions to both funds from the congregations within their bounds, and directs their special atten- tion to the regulation requiring that the congregations receiving aid be 1 annually visited by deputiefi, so as to stimulate the liberality of our {people with a view to the reduction of the grants from the Home viission and Augmentation Funds Further, the General Assembly requests its Moderator, at as early a date as may be convenient, to prepare a brief address to Le read in all the congregations of the Church, and widely circulated by the Presbyteries, settin<][ forth the great importance of the Augmentation Fund as a necessary part of the Church, and entitled to the hearty support of all its congregations." The Moderator in compliance with the above request has issued his pastoral on the subject, and it is to be hoped that the appeal, couched as it is in such kind and earnest words, will meet with a liberal response. A sketch of Home Missions would be incomplete without a reference to the Proposed Constitution of the Young People's Home Missionary Society that received the cordial approval of the General Assembly at its last meeting. As the objects of this society are, " The diffusing of information concerning the mission work of the Church, and more ; especially that done within our own country ; the cultivation of the I devotional spirit among the members; the discussion of missionary [topics and the collection of missionary funds," its influence will be I most salutary and helpful not only upon mission work in general but upon those congregations in which they are organized. It is quite within the range of probability that in a few years the young people of I the Church will be banded together as a great army enlisted with a determination to have the glorious Gospel proclaimed in every section lof this fair Dominion. 46 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. onathan Go livray, B.D., FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The New Hebrides Mission, it is expected, will obtain considerable advantage by the establishment of a steamship service between the islands and Australia. If the arrangement proves satisfactory the services of the Dayspring, the vessel in which so many of the Sabbath School children have a special interest, will be superseded. The event of last year in the New Hebrides Mission was the meeting of the Mission Synod on the island of Tauna, at which several of our mission- aries and representatives of the Australian churches were present. The Synod adopted a constitution, and entered an earnest protest against enforced Kanaka labour, a species of slavery which has for some time existed in Queensland. For half a century mission work has been carried on among the people of the South Sea islands. Severe have been the trials and glorious the martyrdom of some of the missionaries, but great and blessed have been the results. The spiritual and moral condition of many of the native inhabitants is a manifest evidence of the present-day power of the Gospel. The Rev. Messrs.

Work in Trinidad has been maintained with the degree of energy for which it has been conspicuous. Dr. Morton, whom the Church at home has learned to esteem very highly for his personal worth and for his work's sake, has resumed his labours after his recent visit to Canada. The Rev. K J . Grant, who pleaded earnestly for means to establish an institution for the training of a native ministry, has met with a gratifying measure of success, and in due time it is expected that it will be in successful operation. In Trinidad the work is advanced by direct evangelistic agency, in which not a few converts are engaged, and by means of education. The operations of the missions are greatly helped by the contributions of the people, and by the aid fforded by some of the planters. The missionaries in Trinidad are ble to report encouraging progress in almost all departments of their ork. Dr. Mackay continues with unabated zeal his indefatigable labours n Formosa. The converts now number nearly 3,000, and many of hem contribute to the support of Gospel ordinances The sum of early $1,000 has been raised in one year for this purpose. There are ighty-three elders, seventy-one deacons and fifty-one preachers. Fifty hapels afford meeting places for the people, and there are about Aventy-four students and about forty attendants at the girls' school. he Mission has sustained a loss in the death of Rev. Mr. Jamieson. he hospital work has also been carried on with success. In Honan ission work has been advanced, but with checkered experiences. ur missionaries there in the beginning of their way have been called pon to endure hardness, and their faith and enthusiasm have been ubjected to severe tests. Some of them have had to mourn the loss f those dear to them, and others have had to encounter mob violence, nd to see at short range the intensity of popular Chinese hatred to oreigners. Though a satisfactory settlement of the difficulties net [•with was arrived at, more recent disturbances in other Provinces must ave occasioned them grave anxiety. The attacks on mission stations nd the massacres of missionaries and some of their converts indicate he dangers they may have to face. The repulsion of the revolutionary movement by the imperial forces may give the hope that the worst is ast, but in this respect it is possible to be over sanguine. At this istance, and considering the contradictory nature of the accounts jreceived, it is difficult to estimate the strength of the revolutionary movement which is hidden from the public view. At all events the ympathy with the missionaries, and unabated interest in their work nd welfare, will be cherished by the Church at home. The field in Central India is being cultivated with assiduity and uccess. Thft increase in the number of converts is not remarkably arge, but from year to year it is appreciable. It is being carried on |with unflagging zeal and diligence. The niissionaries and their native assistants are keeping up regular services at the central stations, preaching in the bazaars, visiting outlying districts, urging forward educational work, and benefiting the sick by medical services and 48 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK.

The lady missionaries find a cordial welcome as they enter the zenanas and tell the secluded inmates of a Saviour's love. The event of the year in connection with the Indore mission was the completion of the Woman's Hospital at Indore. Some time ago the Dowager Maheranil made a grant of land as a site for its erection. The foundation stonej was laid with imposing ceremonies by the Prime Minister of the Native] State, representing the Maharaja Holkar. The change in disposition of the ruler of Indore is gratefully acknowledged. Instead of placing obstacles in the way of the mission he is now generously aiding it. He I has made a contribution of 750 rupees for the college in whose behalf Rev. Mr. Wilkie laboured so untiringly while home on his furlough. The Maharaja has also contributed 750 rupees to aid in carrying on the medical work of the mission, in which department the lady[ missionaries are rendering valuable service. The mission to the Indians m the North West has lost by the death ! of the Rev. John McKay who laboured so long at Mistawasisj Reserve. He has been succeeded by a recent licentiate, the Rev. F.

It was no? c isference from either of the branches of the Church prior to the .: .XI in 1875. It was one of the earliest off-shoots of that union. The following year it came into existence in a modest and unostentatious way. From that time to the present it has shown an expansive power that possibly its originators scarcely hoped for. At all events there are no indications that it has spent its force ; on the contrary each year records an increase in membership, contributions, and the magnitude of the work it undertakes. The last report issued states that the Presbyterial Societies now number twenty-five ; new auxiliaries, fifty-four ; new mission bands, thirty-eight ; total number of auxiliaries, 472 ; total number of mission bands, 201 ; total number of branches, 673 ; auxiliary membership, 10,762 ; mission band mem- bership, 5,189; total membership, 15,951; life membership added during the year, eighty-one ; total number of life members, 472 ; mem- bers of General Society, 2,953. The Society maintains a number of active missionary labourers in the foreign field and in our own North- West. Supplies are sent yearly to the necessitous Indians, and timely aid is given to other missions. In order to stir up and maintain interest among the mem- bers of the Society a Monthly Letter Lea/let is issued and widely distributed. The income of the Society reported last year was $40,362.33, and in addition to this it was stated that there is deposited in one of the banks the sum of $3,891.15 for the boarding school at Indore. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Maritime Prov- inces has had a similar encouraging progress to report. Down by the sea there are Fix Presbyterial Societies; 112 auxiliaries, five young people's branches, forty-six mission bands, with a total membership of 4,000. The total receipts reported by the treasurer was 928,553.22. From one point of view the extent of the Foreign Mission work of the Church at home and abroad is very encouraging. It is in a measure ,i,i "^ i! i IP ill III li 50 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. commensurate with the ordinary expectations of the Church. As com- Eared with other Churches the Presbyterian Church in Canada is not ehind. There is, however, another aspect of the case that ought not to be overlooked. The resources in men and means within the Church are unquestionably great ; these are far from being developed to theii* utmost. Then the imperative obligation resting on the whole Church to do what it can, in obedience to the mandate given by the risen Redeemer to preach the Gospel to every creature, is far from being complied with. When the Church of the living God fully realizes her true mission the fulfilment of the glorious prediction may be looked for, " All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God." PRESBYTERIANISM IN THE NORTH-WEST. BY PROF. BAIRD, B.D., MANITOBA COLLEGE, C^ b€ circumstances of the country during the year 1891 have been w favourable to the development of missionary activities ; there has been a considerable increase of population through immigration, new railway lines are being built, or have been completed. A bountiful harvest has been gathered in, and altogether the people, freed from undue anxiety about making ends meet, have been unusually willing to contemplate and put into execution plans for church extension and for the better organization of Christian work. Growth in these respects is of course only external, and is by no means a decisive test of the deepening and hallowing of the religious life, but it is confirmatory evidence ; and more direct evidences have not been at all lacking in many congregations that the Spirit of God has been mightily present to change the hearts and build up the lives of His people. It is only facts, however, connected with the external growth of the Church, that come in any general way within reach of the chronicler, and to such, therefore, the present article must confine itself The Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories is the largest Home Mission field of the Canadian Church, and accordingly it is f^ this field that attention must first and chiefly be directed. The progress that marks the year has been more conspicuous in British Columbia than in any other part of the Synod Thirty years ago the work at New Westminster, in the hands of the Rev. R. Jamieson, which was maintained by the Canadian Church, was classed as a " foreign" mission. For many years our work in that rich Province languished, and even with considerable contributions in men and money from the Church of Scotland— which has been a good friend to these colonists ecclesiastically — but little progress was made ; but a change has come within recent years, and now, in the same year as it happens in which the last congregations in connection with the Church of Scot- land, Nanaimo and Nicola came into the Canadian Church, the Pres- bytery of Columbia makes application to the General Assembly, PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 51 hurch.

The Synod has expressed approval }f the request, and there is little doubt but that effect will be given to It at the next session of the Supreme Court The Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories was estab- lished in 1884, and now has seven Presbyteries — one for each year of its existence, but the stride it makes this year in giving off a new Synod Indicates the greatest advance of all. Over the whole Synod the num- ber of places in whica regular services were held amounted to 539 in [1890, and these are the latest statistics accessible. They surpass those >f the previous year by 116, and in all probability, when the statistics for the current year (1891) are made known, they will indicate that a somewhat similar rate of increase has been kept up. Eighteen churches |have been built during the summer, and three manses. The Church ind Manse Building IBoard has given assistance to these to the amount )f over 97.000, and the total value of the buildings erected amounts to M6,ooo. It is not merely along the recognized lines of preaching and church )uilding that progress is evident. A vigorous effort has been made luring the year to supply needy settlements with wholesome literature. |For many years something in a sporadic fashion has been done in this lirection, but it was left to the Presbytery of Calgary to organize for the purpose, and make the most of such literature as it could lay its lands on. Inspired by the zeal of the Rev. C. R. Gordon, of Banff, a 'resbyterial circulating library has been formed, and under the aus- pices of this association several hundreds of books have been collected. lA parcel of these is sent to a neighbourhood and kept in circulation Itill most of them are read ; then another parcel, which has been in use ■in another part of the Presbytery, is substituted for the first, and so on. jit is difficult to imagine any part of the Church where such a scheme (is more needed or is more likely to be successful. The people in the ] North-West are for the most part readers, many of them readers of an lespecially intelligent class. The winters are long and so severe that ] not a great deal of work can be done out of doors. In many places, owing to distance, frequent social intercourse is not easily maintained. I In order to awaken a deeper interest in the special mission work in which the Church in the North-West is engaged, an excellent monthly I paper of modest dimensions has been established. The Western Mis- \sionary contains -every month a well-selected amount of valuable information respecting the work among the Indians, as well as of a more general character. In short, it makes an able presentation of the practical Christian work the Church is trying to overtake in this new land. The venture has met with a very gratifying degree of suc- cess, both within and without the Synod, and gives promise of surviv- ing the dangers which beset such publications in the critical days of their infancy. The interest the city of Winnipeg feels in the evangelizing of the country was shown very clearly last spring, when the Superintendent of Missions was engaged in collecting special contributions to provide for the extension of Home Mission work, in the face of a threatened 52 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. deficit. Of the $13,000, all told, which he collected, fully one-tenth was raised in Winnipeg itself. And since these sums are guaranteed annually for five years, and are to be paid in addition to the sums now | contributed for the schemes, it will be evident that the star of Home Mission work is in the ascendant. In several of the western towns evangelistic meetings were held last winter, and in most cases with results of a Very gratifying character. Portage la Prairie received 150 members at one communion ; Port Arthur, 70 ; and Regina, 47. And some of the mission congregations show proportions quite as high. Golden Stream, an outlying part of the Gladstone congregation, received 33 members at once ; Keewatin, 35, and others at the same rate. Along with growth of this kind there naturally comes a drawing of the denominations more closely to one another, and the Presbyterian Church, as responsible for the religious training of about one-third of the people, according to the census, finds herself face to face with a problem, which suggests the modifying of some of our traditional Presbyterian usages. When a community, in which there are half a dozen denominations, none conspicuously more numerous than another, and the people unite in asking the Presbyte- rian Church to establish services among them, it is evident that a new responsibility is laid upon us. This has been done in cases where the people frankly confessed that they were anxious for religious services, and not especially for Presbyterian services. Is not the Church justi- fied in modifying her form of worship in such a case ? We profess to behold with regret the divisions that keep up two or three weak con- gregations and half-supported ministers in one little village, for which a single pastor is quite competent to do all the work needed ; we pray and we legislate that such a scandal may cease. Shall we then, when the people are ready, and ask us — as they have done in some cases, — be willing to leave in the background some of our traditional Presby- terian forms, dear as they are to the hearts of some of us, in order that the doctrine of the Cross may have the opportunity of commending itself, without let or hindrance, as the power of God and the wisdom of God. Here is our opportunity if we wish to show that the Presby- terian Church is not intended only for Scotchmen and their descend- ants, but is adapted to the needs of all who would draw near to the Lord Jesus in spirit and in truth. The year has been one of advancement to the Indian missions. In places where the ground was broken before, the work has been carried on with no less vigour than in past years, and in some cases with more marked success than ever. The Rev. F. O. Nichol has entered into the labours of the late Rev. John McKay, and is reaping a harvest from his sowing. At a recent communion he received seventeen members into the Church. Besides ' •> growth of work in places that have enjoyed for several yoars the >nefits of the Gospel, work has been begun in three new places. e Government Industrial School at Regina has been opened unr r .he care of the Rev. A. J. McLeod, B.A., and a competent sta' of assistants. The number of pupils already mounts up to abc it fifty, and the institution, thoroughly equipped as it is, gives prom se of great usefalness. PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 53 The Rev. ]. A. McDonald, B.A., has been sent to open a mission among the Indians of British Columbia, and after a prospecting tour up the coast as far as Alaska has settled among the natives on the west coast of Vancouver Island, at Alberni, and is busy with the language. He has already opened two Sabbath schools among the children, and has in immediate contemplation a plan for taking some ten children into the house in which he lives, and converting it into a rudimentary boarding and industrial school. The third case of new work is Miss Baker's miss''^'^ "-rhool among the Sioux Indians at Prince Albert, which made a &. \ . beginning a little mure than a year ago in a tent, and which, established now in a more permanent abidmg place, gives promise of much usefulness. In response to an urgent request from the Presbytery of Calgary, Mr. Thomas Paton, formerly a missionary in China, has been set apart to carry on mission work among the Chinese, considerable numbers of whom are employed in the mines, lumber camps and towns in the Rocky Mountains. For the present Mr. Paton spends part of his time also among the white settlers in the same territory, and his work, especially among the Chinamen, has already been signally blessed. The interests of mission work in the west have always been closely identified with those of Manitoba College. She sent forth fifty labourers into the harvest last spring, ten of whom were young men who had completed the theological course. She is thus able to supply more than half the fields within the Synod for which students or cate- chists are required. But the very efficiency with which the work is overtaken in the summer causes the want of supply in winter to be the more painfully felt. During the winter her students supply some eighteen or twenty places which are said to be within reach of the College, but which are still so far away— one train a day being still the rule on western railways— that the student does not get home till late on Monday afternoon, and then often in a fatigued condition from long driving that unfits him for steady intellectual application. After all these have been supplied, and all for which catechists can be got, there remains still thirty-five mission fields unprovided for. This is a con- dition of affairs which has led to such serious losses in the past, and it so neutralizes each summer's work that the theological professors have felt moved to offer that, if the General Assembly so requests, the theo- logical session of Manitoba College shall be held in the summer rather than in the winter, so as to set free a band of young men each autumn to take the places of those students who return to resume their studies in other colleges. The proposal has already met with the approbation of the Synod, and seems both to meet the needs of the case more fully and to be open to fewer serious objections than anything that com- mended itself to the General Assembly at Kingston as a possible solu- tion of what is admitted on all hands to be an evil for which some cure must be found. 54 presbyter:. ^ year book. THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, HALIFAX. !i 1:1 BV RitV. ROBERT MURRAY, HAI •''AX. 'TT'biS institution represents the combined efforts of thre? Presby- w terian bodies— the " Seceders," the Free Church, and the Church of Scotland. The earliest movement in the line of educating a native ministry was made in 1805, by Rev. Thomas McCuUoch, D.D., then a young man, who came to Nova Scotia in 1803. Intending to labour in Prince Edward Island he called at Pictou on his way. Impressed with the cd a thousand pounds in aid of the school. Eleven years afterw?* this school was placed among the Grammar Schools of Nova Scotia; it was undoubtedly the best among them. The Grammar School became •' Pictou Academy," which was incorporated in 1816. It was non- sectarian, and it invited the co-operation of all denominations. There was before it a bright prospect. But King's College, Windsor, N.S., was the pet of the authorities. It was founded and carried on in the interest of the Church of England, and Pictou Academy was feared as a rival, and efforts to cramp its operations were not without success. The age of equal rights and of responsible government had not yet come. Pictou Academy was formally opened in 18 17 under the presidency of Dr. McCuUoch. A number of the first graduates afterwards studied theology and became ministers of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. McCuUoch was for several years both pastor of the Pictou congrega- tion and head of the Academy. He was a most successful teacher, able to inspire his students with his own earnest and enthusiastic devotion to duty, with his own boundless appetite for work. In 1824, Dr. McCuUoch gave up the pastoral charge of Pictou congregation. In 1820, the Synod having learned that several young men, who had completed their arts course in the Academy, were desirous of studying theology, appointed Dr. McCuUoch Professor of Theology. This is the first appointment of the kind in Canada in connection with any branch of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. McCulloch's first class in theology consisted of twelve students. Nearly all of these completed their course and were licensed to preach the Gospel. John Maclean, John L. Murdoch and Robert S Patterson, after licensure, visited Scotland, preached there with marked acceptance, and after examina tion received from the Glasgow University the degree of Master of Arts. In 1830 the Presbyterian congregations raised five thousand pounds in aid of the new Theological Hall. Much progress was made, but unfortunately divisions sprang up in the Presbyterian population, and this with the steady opposition of the Anglican party (zealous for King's College) ultimately destroyed old Pictou \cademy. In 1838 Dr. McCuUoch was appointed Principal of Dalhousie College then just PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 55 starting. This caused his removal from Pictou ; and two hundred pounds of the Academy grant were at the same time withdrawn and given to Dalhousie, and the Academy was re-organized as a High School. The Theological Hall continued its work— as it had always been distinct from the Academy — and Dr. McCuUoch continued his zealous labours as Theological Professor until his death in 1843. The sessions usually lasted five or six weeks. During the year the students were rec^uired to prepare discourses and read special works under the supervision of Presbyteries. In 1844 the Synod appointed Rev. John Keir, Prince Edward Island, Professor of Theology. He being pastor of Princetown, the " Hall " for two years was transferred to that place. In 1846 Rev. James Ross was appointed Professor of Biblical Literature — he being at the time pastor of West River, Pictou ; the time and place of teaching were left to the convenience of the two professors. It now appeared that there was not in the country any institution where students could secure their preliminary training. Pictou Academy was a mere Grammar School, and Dalhousie College had ceased to exist. This state of matters led the Presbyterian Synod to appoint a Professor of Philosophy and to aim at an Arts Course. In 1848 the Seminary was started at West River, Pictou county, in the house of Professor Ross, with twelve students. By 1852 the number had increased to twenty-eight, with sixteen studying theology. For ten years the Seminary was conducted at West River. In 1850 Rev. James Smith, D.D., of Stewiacke, was appointed Professor of Biblical Literature, thus relieving Dr. Hoss, whose whole time could now be given to the Arts Course. In 1850 Professors Keir and Smith opened the theological classes with twelve students, and the number in a few years reached eighteen. In 1855 a second Professor in Arts, Mr. Thomas McCulloch, son of Dr. McCulloch, was appointed, and thus Dr. Ross was to some extent relieved. The Church had two Professors in Theology and two in Arts. During all these years the salaries of the Theological Professors were irum forty to sixty pounds a year. In 1858 the classes were transferred to a commodious new building at Truro, where the attend- ance reached fifty-two students. This brings us up to r86o. The Free Church founded an Academy in Halifax in 1846. In 1847 arrangements were made, with the liberal aid of the Free Church Colonial Committee, to start the Free Church College, Halifax. The Free Synod undertook to raise eight thousand poun Is to endow a Theological chair. In 1848 the College commenced operations under Professors King and Mackenzie. The students at the opening numbered fifteen. Professor Mackenzie died before the end of the second session. He was succeeded by Rev. William Lyall. In the second vear the students numbered twenty-two. A new building was completed in 1852, at Gerrish Street, Halifax. In 1855 Rev. Alexander (now Prin- cipal) McKnight was appointed to the Chair of Hebrew in the Free Church College. No noteworthy change occurred till the union of i860, when the Free and United Presbyterian bodies united, forming the " Presbyterian 36 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK 11 Church of the Lower Provinces." It was then arranged that the theological classes of the Church should be conducted at Halifax, and the Arts classes at Truro. Accordingly Professors King, Smith and McKnight devoted themselves to theology, while Professors Ross, Lyall and McCulloch took charge of the arts. The two institutions were about sixty miles apart. The Church of Scotland Synod depended for its ministry on students sent to the Scottish Universities. This plan did not prove wholly satisfactory, but it was by no means a waste of effort. Some very brilliant and useful men have thus been secured to the Church In 1863 a successful effort was made to resuscitate Dalhousie Col- lege, Halifax. The Government of Nova Scotia invited the co-operation of denominations or individuals to revive and strengthen the institution. Any individual or Church appointing a professor would have the privilege of nominating a governor, and thus sharing in the manage- ment of the College. 'Phe Presbyterian Synod of the Lower Provinces resolved to close its Seminary at Truro and transfer its two chairs to Dalhousie, at Halifax. The " Kirk " Synod at the same time raised 1)20,000 as an endowment for a chair in Dalhousie, and also nominated a professor. Thus it was hoped to start with six chairs — three Presby- terian, and three supported upon the endowments of the College No other denomination accepted the invitation of the Government. In course of a few years the revenue from the invested funds of Dalhousie shrank, and there was imminent danger of the staff being weakened. Government grants were withdrawn, and denominations that had stood aloof from the arrangement made strenuous and long-continued assaults on the existence of the institution. The Presbyterians stood true to the compact, and the (iovernment of the day also staked its existence upon the maintenance of the covenant on its side. By and by most valuable aid to Dalhousie came from private munificence, Mr. George Munro, of New York, a Pictca man, has for the past twelve years been giving to Dalhousie about ^20,000 a year. He has endowed five professorships ; so that to-day it is one of the strongest Arts colleges in Canada. Meanwhile the Presbyterian Church has been able to withdraw two of her chairs. She still supports one chai'- and is likely to do so permanently. Another benefactor, a Presi^yterian, Alex. Macleod, endowed two chairs. The " Presbyterian College " now stands in Halifax, on a spot of rare loveliness on the banks of the North-west Arm. It has three professors, one of whom belonged to the Free Church, one to the •' Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia," and one to the Church of Scotland. Dr. McKnight alone survives of the professors who bore the burden and heat of the day before the union of i860. The Synod has resolved to appoint a fourth professor in the early future. My hope is — I may say my conviction is— that a fifth professor will very shortly follow. Our funds will soon justify such an enlargement of the staff.

THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ELDERSHIP. BY J. KNOWLES, JR., CLERK OF SESSION KNOX CHURCH, TORONTO. " KiiowledKv ot our duties is the most useful pnrt of phi\osop\\y."—fVAate/y. 'TTbC office of Elder is one of deep responsibility, high importance, ^ and great usefulness in the Presbyterian Church. It has been truly said that " our Church is deeply indebted to the Ruling Elders. A large portion of them have sustained a character becoming their office, and by their disinterested labours have done very much to build up the congregations with which they were more immediately connected, and to promote, in a wider range, the general interests of a common Christianity. Their lives, if intimately known and faithfully recorded, would furnish, in many instances, most genuine additions to I Christian biography." It is related that when Sir Ralph Abercromby was ordained an elder in the Church of Scotland, he said to the minister: *' Sir, I have often been intrusted by my sovereign with honourable and important commands in my profession as a soldier, and his majesty has been pleased to reward my services with dis- tinguished marks of his royal approbation ; but to be the humble I instrument, in the office of an elder, of putting the tokens of my Saviour's dying love into the hands of one of the meanest of his fol- I lowers, I conceive to be the highest honour I can receive on this side of heaven." This is a proper conception of the office, and it would be well if many more looked at the matter in a similar light. The history of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland also furnishes many examples of elders who have rendered valuable and distinguished service, and whose names will ever be cherished in grateful remembrance by those who now enjoy the privilege and blessing of a free and enlightened gospel. The first duty of an elder after having been ordained to this high office is to make himself acquainted with the various duties of the joffice to which he has promir-'jd to faithfully perform. He should have la district roll-book containing all the names and addresses of the I members and adherents in his particular district which has been I allotted to him. Too frequently the elder is apparently content if he Iknows the members, and it is sometimes the case that he even does jnot know all of the members. Now it is of the utmost importance jthat he should be personally acquainted with every member and ladherent of his district. A little time and patience will easily accom- Iplish this, while it will greatly increase his power and usefulness His 5« PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. >: second duty is to keep himself unspotted from the world. Dr. Kihk, in his admirable treatise on "The Ruling Eldership," remarks: " It is of great importance that Christians, and especially Christian elders, should so deport themselves in wordly traasactions as not to convey the impression of being worldly characters, a noted greed of gain, a keenness above common in looking to self-interest, — these are not traits which recommend his ecclesiastical position. Let our elders, | then, as business men, walk circumspectly. Let them remember in the market- place their relation to the sanctuary, and do nothing for gain derogatory to godliness. By all means let them be diligent in business, yet so as to be ' fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.' " These I words coming from such a high authority as Dr. King should be care- fully pondered. Another important duty of an elder is to visit regularly i his district. It is oifly by systematic visitation that true service and | work for the Master can be accomplished. In large and scattered con- gregations it is very difficult and sometimes impossible for the minister I to make regular pastoral calls, and here is where the elder can be eminently useful. If the elder makes a practice of visiting his district once every three months, he will be enabled to keep himself informed regarding removals in his district, also cases of sickness, distress and poverty, and a word in season for the Master as opportunity may occur | will surely be blessed. An elder belittles his position and underrates the| value of this word who imagines or considers regular visitation unneces- sary. At the same time it should be done in a brotherly and friendly | way, and entirely free from the slightest appearance of officiousness. An office-bearer should be kind, inoffensive, possessing tact and judg- ment. He should be always ready and willing to visit the sick, comfortl the troubled, cheer the discouraged and aid the distressed. In al word, he should be Christlike, and aim to be of the greatest good tol the greatest number, ever keeping in mind God's own words, " Be notf weary in welldoing, for in due season ye shall reap if ye faint not." It might here be remarked that it is a great mistake to be easily dis I couraged. An elder in visiting or calling on a member may think that! he was coldly received, and perhaps have good grounds for so thinking,! but it should be borne in mind that the member in question may havel just had some trial, or perhaps by toothache or some other ailmenil had passed a sleepless night, thus easily accounting for the apparent I coldness of your reception. The influence of faithful visitation and sincere friendship on the part of the elder is certain to accomplisb| results of a very beneficial character. " 'Tls worth a wise man's best of life, 'Tis worth a thousand years of strife, If thou canst lessen but by one The countless ills beneath the sun."| Another important duty of the Eldership is to keep an oversight oj\ the adherents. Many a person has for years refrained from connecting | with the Church owing to a want of cordiality on the part of an office- bearer. An elder should be faithful in little things as well as in doinul some great work. A smile, a kind word, a shake of the hand are littlel things, and a little trouble in obtaining a situation for someone is not! PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 59 what the world calls a Rreat deed, but after all it is little things that often make or mar one's life. " It was only a verse said softly, To one who seemed in pain ; But God's ways are hi^licr tiian ours, And it was never lost a^ain." It is also the duty of the elder to attend the various diets of wor- ship, and be promptly at his place in the prayer-meeting, for an elder cannot expect to effect much who does not pray much ; and under this head a word might be said in regard to district prayer- meetings. In scattered congregations, whether in the city or the cc intry, it is the duty of the elder to hold district prayer-meetings in .realities which are not convenient to the congregational prayer-meeting, aad ii is liardly necessary to state that these metings, if conducted in 'he ri>;;ht spirit, will prove instructing, interesting and profitable. Another duty of the ruling eldership —and it is often an unpleasant duty — is .o re- prove the erring. The writer heard recently of a reproof given by a divinity student to a young man who was addicted to the abominable habit of swearing. The young man, without thinking, uttered a -^ath. "Mr. ," said the student, "you use very bad grammar." i he efTect was marvellous, the young man at once making an apolo^ y, t. ■ ^^^^H ^^^^^^mHhhI H BP ^^^^^^^H ^m ^ V ''■^S^^^^KK^Hi HHj ■V t ■;■ ::.,: ^^1 By m 4 km ^1 Ig^ljfl^ H' 4 «f ^H ^H ****■"' ' ^^^^^^^E ^^^^^^^H ^^^^^^^^^^Hak \ ^wlU 4 1 1 ■ \ 1 ST.

He was succeeded by the Rev. John Machar, M.A., and afterwards D.D., from Glasgow University, ordained by the Presbytery of Edin- burgh on the 27th April, 1827, and who, after a long mmistry oi thirty- six years, died on the 7th February, 1863. His remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery, where a monument erected by the congre- gation bears testimony to his sterling worth and work. To him succeeded the Rev William Maxwell Inglis, M.A. and F.R.S.E., licensed by the Presbytery of Fordyce, and for some time the highly appreciated assistant of Dr. Matheson, of St. Andrew's Church, Montreal. He was inducted by the Presbytery of Kingston on the 5th August, 1863, and after eight years resigned his charge in March, 1871 The Rev. Thomas G. Smith, M.A., ordamed in 1856, afterwards D.D., now financial secretary to Queen's College, succeeded Mr. Inglis, and was inducted by the Presbytery of Kingston into St. Andrew's in June, 1874, but was translated to St. Andrew's, St. John, N B., in May, 1883. On Dr. Smith's translation, a unanimous call was extended to the Rev. John Mackie, MA., of Edinburgh University, licensed by the Presbytery of Edinburgh, May i6th, 1877, ordained by the Presbytery of Dumfries, Dec. 13th, 1877, and for eight years minister of the town and parish of Dalbeattie, Kirkudbrightshire. Mr. Mackie was inducted into St. Andrew's by the Presbytery of Kingston, October 25th, 1885, and is the present incumbent. The congregation of St. Andrew's has grown large and influential, leading in generosity all the churches in the city. Its revenue for last year was $7, 324.42. Its communion roll shows a strength of 453. Besides its Sabbath school with a roll of 288. it has a Juvenile Guild for charitable work, a Young Men's Guild, a Young Women's Guild, a Women's Foreign Vlission Society, and a Women's Home Associatio.T, all of which are rendering excellent service to the Church at home and abroad. ST. JAMES CHURCH, CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E. I. REV. JAMES CARRUTHERS, PASTOR. 'TT'bC history of St. James Church, Charlottetown, carries us back to w the year 1825, when a public meeting was called at the Court House, June 25th, to take into consideration the best mode of procur- ing for Charlottetown and its vicinity the benefits of the stated ministra- tions of a clergyman of the Established Church of Scotland and erect- ing a suitable place of worship. As a result of this meeting and of subsequent efforts, a church building was commenced in the following year and completed in 1828, the congregation at that time including a PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 7X September, tngregation the city, afterwards ry of Edin- y ot thirty- rere laid to the congre- M.A. and some time t.

There was no settled pastor till 1830, but occasional services were given by the late Rev, iohn McLennan of Belfast and minister from the Kirk Presbytery of 'ictou. In 1830 Rev. J as. Mcintosh was sent out by the Glasgow Colonial Society and he was formally inducted minister of the church Aug. II, 1831. On this occasion the church was solemnly set apart for the service of Almighty God. Mr. Mcintosh was succeeded in 184 1 by Rev. Angus Mclntyre, a man of great ability, both as a preacher and pastor. After the close of his pastorate in 1848 Rev. Samuel Brown of the Irish Presbyterian church supplied the pulpit for about six months, when the Colonial Committee sent out Rev. John McBean. Mr. McBean was compelled to resign after a pastorate of a few months owing to ill health, and his place was filled by Rev. Robt. McNair. Mr. McNair remained with the congregation until April, 1852, when he resigned and left for Scotland. The vacancy was filled by Rev Wm. Snodgrass, so well known to the Church in connection with Queen's College, Kingston, who after supplying the pulpit by agreement for three years was inducted m November, 1855. During Mr. Snodgrass' pastorate the church made rapid progress, as in addition to pulpit power he possessed a great talent for organiza- tion. In 1856 he left Charlottetown to take charge of St. Paul's, Mon- treal, much regretted not only by his own congregation but by the whole community. He was succeeded by Rev. Thos Duncan who was inducted Oct. 23rd, 1856. Mr. Duncan ministered to the congre- gation with zeal, fidelity and success for 20 years when he accepted a call to St. Andrew's, Halifax. He was succeeded by Rev. Kenneth McLennan who was inducted January 31st, 1877. During Mr. Mc- Lennan's pastorate the new church of which a picture is given, and which is admitted to be one of the most beautiful churches in the Vlaritime Provinces, was built, the foundation stone being laid June 7th, 1877, and the building of Wallace freestone, trimmed with red sandstone of Prince Edward Island, has a seating capacity of 900. Since the opening of the new church Old St. James, endeared to the congregation by so many memories, has been used as a Sabbath school room and lecture hall. Rev. Mr. McLennan resigned the charge in June, 1884, and after a vacancy of nearly a year the present pastor, Rev. James Carruthers, was inducted May 6th, 1885. During Mr. Carruthers' pastorate most gratifying progress has been made. The financial affairs of the con- gregation have been put upon a satisfactory basis, steady progress has been made year by year in wiping out the debt upon the church, and a spirit of liberality, especially in connection with the Schemes of the Church, has been developed, although not numerous (there being only 120 families), or wealthy, and the average yearly contributions of the con- gregation for all purposes for the last five years have exceeded 85,000 with an average for the same period of over 98oo for the Schemes of the Cnurch.

Paul's church, Peterborough. 74 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. PETERBOROUGH. fhlM ,W«I REV. E. F. TORRANCE, M.A., PASTOR. fXn the early days of settlement in Ontario what is now the flourish- ^ ing town of Peterborough was not inaptly described as a back- woods place. Thrifty and enterprising immigrants settled in the surrounding country and carved prosperous homes for themselves out of the native forest. Lumbering and other industries added to the growth and prosperity of the district. Adherents of Presbyterianism were numerous and the need for regular church services was keenly felt. It was sometime, however, before their wishes in this irespect were gratified. Occasional services were highly prized, but valuable as they were it was felt that they only made the desire for regular services all the more eager. In due time the regular supply of gospel ordin- ances was provided, and the late Rev. J. M. Roger, M.A., was ordained as pastor. This worthy pioneer of Presbyterianism in the Midland district of Ontario was himself a son of the manse, having been born at Kincardine O'Neil in Scotland. Mr. Roger obtained his education in Arts and Theology in Aberdeen University. He also enlarged the range of his acquirements by prosecuting the study of medicine. He was thoroughly imbued with the self-denying spirit of an earnest and thoroughly evangelical pioneer minister. The zeal and energy with which Mr. Roger conducted his pastorate were productive of most excellent and encouraging results. The coi:^;regation in Peterborough grew in strength and spirituality under Mr. Roger's devoted and con- scientious care. He did not relax his endeavours to promote the spiritual welfare of residents in the surrounding country. Several congregations now flourishing with vigour under their respective pastors owe their origin to the labours and supervision of Mr. Roger. He was ably assisted by worthy men in the eldership whose personal worth and Christian character gained for them respect and esteem far beyond the locality in which they lived. Mr. Roger, after a life of long and faithful service, died at an advanced age on the 8th January, 1878. On the 28th of June, 1876, Rev. E. F. Torrance was ordained and inducted into the pastoral charge of St. Paul's Church. During the past fifteen years and a half th^ congregation has continued to increase, In 1876 there were in the congregation igo families and 368 communi- cants. There are in the congregation to day 350 families and 710 com- municants. The total number received into church membership in this period of time has been 1009. In 1884 the church was enlarged and an organ put in at a cost of 934,000. Of this amount only $4,000 is still unpaid. While expending this large sum upon church extension the congregation has not been unmindful of the Schernes of the Church. For the past two or three years tne contributions have been about $2,000 a year ; and it is ex- pected that for 1 891 they will he larger than this. St. Paul's has always been a tiiost harmonious congregation as will appear from the fact that it has had only two pastors during the past 57 years. MENEELY & CO. WEST TROY, N.Y.
