Evidence is given of a laudable anxiety on the part of our people that the instructors of their children shall be godly men and women. As the great object of the Sabbath School is the salvation of the young, we rejoice to be able to report an increase of conversions on each District. We regret that so few sciiools hold regular teachers' meetings for the study of the lessons. It is to be deplored that so few are memorizing our catechisms. We suggest that the catechism questions be brought before the open school so that doctrinal instruction may be more fully given to our scholars. When the evils of intemperance, tobacco using and profanity are so rife, we recommend that the triple pledge, as found in our " Discipline," be urged on every scholar. We rejoice that catechumen classes have been formed in several places, and hope that in other places the same work will be taken up. We are glad to note that our people appreciate the efforts made by our Publishing House to disseminate healthy literature for the young by taking their papers and helps almost entirely therefrom. We suggest to the editors of our excellent periodicals the desirability of guarding against the frequent repetition of articles in the same papers. We suggest to the Conference that provision be made for almost equal representation for our Sabbath Schools in the Ep worth League conventions, and that subjects bearing on the relation of the Sabbath School to the League be introduced for discussion. Jno. Robsoit, Chairman. J. TuTTLE, Secretary. \m] METHODIST CONFERENCE. 29 REPORT OF EPWORTH LEAGUE COMMITTEE. 1, He the letter of the General Superintendent in relation to the appointment of a nieml)er of Epworth League and Sunday School Board to represent this Conference, we nominate Mr. F. \V. Davey, of Victoria, to Vie the representative. 2. Re the last clause of the Epworth League Committee's leport of 1894, recommending amalgamation with another association, we call the attention of Conference and of Epworth Leagues throughout the Province to the fact that the General Conference defines the relation which the Epwortii League Convention may hold to other young people's societies' conventions as that of afilliation and not amalgamation. ;). Since there are some Epworth Leagues which have not been reported to tlie District meetings, your Committee ask permission to present such amended statistics as may be furnished by the Provincial President of Epworth Leagues. Supplementary Rkport. ^. Your Committee after careful inquiry find that there are 22 I^eagues and 1,200 members within the Conference, being an increase of 2 Leagues and 1.3" members. The reports of moneys raised liy the Leagues are so imperfect tliut we cannot make any report. '). We recommend that greater care be exercised by the Superintendent of Circuits in making out and reporting the Epworth League scheduler this year. Joseph Hall, Chairman. S. J. Thompson, Secretary. ItEPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The Scripture, which is our rule of faith and practice, is very plain and empiiatic in all its teachings with reference to the claims of the Sabbath upon all men, but we are continually reminded of the great disrespect in which the Sabbath is held in this province, as evidenced by fishing, hunting, boating and picniu parties, excursions by train and steamboat, bicycle practice and ball games, not forgetting buggy and sleigh driving in quest of pleasure on God's holy day. The action of the Vancouver and New Westminster councils, in passing stringent Sunday closing by-laws, cannot be too highly commended, but on the other hand we cannot too stroeigly condemn the action of the Provincial Parliament, during its last session, in its treatment of the Salibatli Observance Bill iitroduced by Mr. Kennedy, of New Westminster. Wlicreas, we have not failed to notice a growing tendency, on the part of our people, to patronize Sunday trains, steamboats and street cars, and Hs it is not an unusual thing to see street cars on the Sabbath tilled to overflowing with worshippers going to and from the churches, we rcconnnend : 1. That this Conference place itself on record as being opposed to all such practices. so MINUTES OF THE BRITISH COLUMHIA [1895 2. That all the ministers of this Conference bring before their congre (Rations, at an early date, the necessity of discouraging all Sunday excursions, and of discontinuing the use of all public conveyances on the Lord's Day. 3. That this Conference take heed in arranging the various firild', not to make it impossible for a minister to attend iiis appointments without patronizing public conveyances on the Sabbiitli. 4. That such arrangements be made for Conferences, District iiii'i'tiii;;^, conventions, and other public meetings of our church, as shall not necessitate travelling on the Sabbatli day. 5. That Revs. C. Watson and J. F. Betts, with Messrs. D. Sjjcncer and D. Donaldson, be a standing committee to co-operate with similar committees from other churches in such time and manner as, in the opinion of the co-operative committee, shall be most effective to secure such legislation as will bring about the better observance of the Lord's Day. . C. Brvant, Chairman. J. D. P. Kno.v, Secrntary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE. With gratification we record the great change that, during the last few years, has taken place in public sentiment on the Temperance question. We agree with Neal Dow, that " what cannot be mended must be ended," and without qualification declare " that total prohibition is the right and only effective remedy for the evils of intemperance : " while, as a Church, we reaffirm our willingness to co-operate with all other Christian bodies in bringing to an end this iniquitous traffic. During the year heinous crimes have been committed in this proviiici", traceable to the liquor traffic, whose supporters trample on law, order and justice. Intoxicating liquors have been sold to Indians along tlu^ coast. Steamboats having licensed bars, hsive cold liquors to other than passen- gers and crew, while in port ; and the Sunday Closing Act has been fre- quently and opoiily violated. Whereas, club irccnses are being granted in rural districts, we regret that the n^commendation of last year, looking to the abolition, or control by the people, of such licenses, has not been carried out ; We recommend that this Conference appoint a committee to correspond with other churches and the officers of temperance organizations, in order to briii!^ about a plebiscite on the Prohibition question ; also, that said committee communicate with the Government requesting the institution of the "Curfew Bell," now in successful operation in many towns in the East; also, that this Conference impress upon all its ministers the necessity of more frequently referring to temperance subjects in their pulpits and Sabbath Schools.

Re the Sapperton Church property: Having carefully coiisidered the resolution of the Central Church Trus- tee Board, we reconmiend that permission be given the trustees of Central Church to sell the Sapperton Chuich property, Vjut that providing the Sapperton congregation will pay the necessary e.xpenses of interest and insurance, no action be taken. 2. Re Maple Bay Church property : We recommend that no action be taken. " ' ' * 3. Re Centennial Church : Your Committee after a most careful review of the facts relating to the matter of the letter referred to our consideration recommend that. Whereas it is admitted by all parties that the financial claims of the church can be fully met if all unite in the spirit of love and harmony, the trustees and Quarterly Official Boards, as far as possible, unite the church funds in such a manner, in harmony with the Discipline, as to meet the claims made upo^, the trustees in relation to the insurance and interest on the mortgage ; and also, that all the members of the two boards most faith- fully unite to save the church from further embarrassment, and to stand most loyally by one another in the spirit of love and devotion to the cause of Christ and the uplifting of humanity.

The pm|iosition is brietly as follows : A short time ago the IJoai'd of ^^anagers were informed that one of the fiiu'st resiilential properties in the Province was about to be placed upon the market at $!;'), 000, about one-fourth of its cost. If the amount of tlio existing liabilities were a(hled, the total would amount to $2l',180, while the ('onferenco would secure a jiroperty which the most conservative appraisers value at ^-■"),000, to^'etlier with other assets valued at .|G,200. Almost at the same timi", a letter was received from Mi'. H. A.

Tlie sum reijuired to carry out this proposal would therefore be •'§12,000. The lioiird of Directors at once re.solved to avail itself, if possible, of an offer so favoral)le, and on April 27th pecured an option of purcliase on the property for thirty days. The Principal was at once desputcned to the East to make strenuous efforts to secure still further aid, while a con\- mittee, consisting of the Secretary and Prof. K. Odium, were appointed tocanv.'iss this province. Up to last evening the Principal liad not been heard from, but the local committee reports subscriptions to the amount of 83,000. The P.oard of Directors are convinced that upon the c:i,rrying out of their proposition the continued success, and even the existence, of the College depends ; and therefore commend it to the earnest consideration of the Conference, recommending that inunediate action bt; taken. It is further reconnneiuled : 1. That the superintendent of each circuit and mission in the Conference, with the lay delegates to Conference residing in the bounds of each circuit and mission, be a committee to niiiko a rapid canvass for funds in aid of the proposed college purchase scheme, results to be reported to the College Secretary not later than the '-5tli iust. ; and further, that every preacher be rei (nested to bring the mutter before his congregations and ask for subscriptions on Sunday next, I'.'lh inst.

We recommend that every possible means be tahen to create a greater enthusiasm among our ministers and people in our Quarterly Otficial Boards, Epworth Leagues, and Sabbath Schools in the cause of M'ssions, especially by the more frequent diffusion of definite missionary information. 2. We re-joramend that the Chinese missionaries hv, instructed to itiner- ate more f.mong their fellow-countrymen outside of the cities wherein they are '•tutioned. 3. '.', e feoommend, with a view to economy in the expenditure of mis- sionary money, that for the ensuing year the Chinese missiunai-y in A'^ictoria reside in the apartments connected with the (Jliincse Mission pren ises, and the missionary to Indian tribes be given a part of the Chinese Girls' Rescue Home for occupation. 4. We urge upon tho.se wiio have the oversight of the Chinese work in New W^estminster and Vancouver, the importance of preaching tiie Gospel as frequently as possible to the large iiuu'bei' of Chinese connected with the canneries on thi Lower Eraser. 5. That the minute of Simpson District in reference to the Glad Tid- ings be endorsed, ai.d a copy be sent to the General I-ioard of Missions, as follows : " VVhei'eas there .'s a strong desire for retrcnchmerit in the Mis- sionary Society's income, and whereas it seems possibly to effect a .saving in the cost of carrying in the evangelistic work done by means of the Glad Tidlngn, we recommend that the Glad Ti'liriffs be '.-ontinued under the control of tlie chairman, and we pledge ourcelves to obey the chair- man's call to undertake evangelistic trips on the Glad Tidings at such tinie.s as ,"tir absence would not be prejudicial to the interests of our resjjective missions." 6.

We recommend that the following resolution be referred to the Conference Missionary Committee: Copy of resolution moved by Rtiv. A. E. lireen, seconded by Rev. J. W. Winslow : That it is the judgment of this Conference that whereas, for the want of a clear, definite and equitable method governing the action of the Conference Missionary Committee, ilie grant from the General Board of Missions to this Conference has not iieen so apportioned to domestic missionaries as to make full provision for necessary horse keep, rent, travelling expenses and incidentals over and iiliove an equitable amount for salary, board and fuel ; therefore wo tliinU it important thnt the grant made to this Conference (which is a ])erceiitag» of ». basis intended to inchide horse keep, etc., in addition to salary, board and fuel) be disposed of in effect as follows: 1st. Th:tt out of the total grant to the Conference each domestic missionary should receive tlie amount of his pt.>spcctive liorse-keep, etc., and 2nd, That the balance be divided equitably as salary, board and fuel, among all the r'.ainiants on the grant. Be it further resolved that in order to uniformity in filling out the schedule fi)r ministerial support, tiie term "appropria- tion for salary, etc.." be understood to be exclusive of horse-keep, etc., the .iniounts for these expenses being entei'ed in another schedule.

I)KAKLY Beloved, — Being again assembled in Annual Conference, we send you aflFectioiiate greeting in the name of our uoiiimon Saviour and Lord. " (;rrace be unto you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank our God upon t^very remembrance of you, always, ill every prayer of ours for you all, making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now ; being confi- dent of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing 1 Are not even yb in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming f For ye are our glory and joy." We render heartfelt thanks to Almighty God that in His abundant mercy the ministerial ranks of the Conference have been unbroken by death during the year. For several days in the early part of the session we were oppressed with anxiety on account of the non-arrival of the missionary steamer Glad Tidings, having on board a party of our beloved brethren and fellow-laborers from the North. But our God "holdeth the sea in the hollow of His hand." In answer tc many prayers, they were brought to us safe and well, and we received tl em with great rejoicing. We still count it our unspeakable privilege t^ preach a full, free and present salvation for all who truly repent of tl eir sins and believe the Gospel ; and we purpose to continue so to do, God being our helper. The great and wel." proved doctrines of the Gospel as proclaimed by the early Methodists , of ruin by the Fall ; of Atonement by the death, and Justification by che resurrection of our Lord ; of the direct witness of the Spirit : of the personality and divinity of the Holy Ghost ; of future and eternal rewards and punishments — we are resolved still to hold fast and set forth vrith all fervor and fidelity, for we have found them in our own experience to be " the power of God unto salvation." We record with gratitude that during the past year " our labor has not been in vain in the Lord." A goodly number have been added to the Church, and are witnessing a good confession, while a few have died in tlie triumphs of faith, and have gone to be " forever with the Lord." Yet we find abundant cause for humility and deep searching of the heart, that much more has not been accomplished. We may have depended too much upon self, and upon merely human agencies, and not enough upon God, who, whenever the Word is preached in its simplicity, with reliance upon 48 MINUTES OF THE HHITISH COLUMHIA [m'o the Holy Spirit, iiitikes it luiyhty to the pulling down of strongiiokls of sin. Pray for us, " that utterance may be f^iven unto us, that we may open our mouths bokUy to n)ako known the mystery of tiif* gospel, for which we are amhassadors in bonds, that therein we may speak boldly as we ought to speak." As it is God's plan to work liy means, wo may ask wlietlier sufficient attention is given to tiie calling and einployineiit of local preachers, a oliiss of men greatly honored of God in the [last, and by whose labors many of the most glorious triumplis of Methodism iiave been won. Ai'e our class leaders all using their giits to the utmost in leading the members of their classes into the enjoyment of " tlus fulness of the blessing of the gosi)el of Christ V Are our stewards and trustees all men "full of faith and of the Holy (ihost," administering the temporalities ot the Church for the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom 1 Are all our Sunday School teachers and I'^pworth League workers doing all in their power to realize for themselves, and to lead those under their influence into the enjoyment of a " salvation from all sin " 1 Is the family altar an institu- tion honored and chorisKed in tho homes of all our )ieople 1 Do Christian parents sufficiently consider their responsibility for the conversion of the children whom God has given them to train for heaven 1 Or is it, as we have cause to fear, sometimv->8 the case that while father and mother are in the house of God, their children are learning baneful les.sons in the school of sin'? In view of the only possible answer to these questions, what wonder that while "the fields are white unto the harvest," so few sheaves are gathered in. Nothing but a mighty l)aptisni of the Holy Spirit upon all our churches can enable us to do the great woi k. to which God has called us. " Oh, that it now from heaven might fall. Anil all our sina conKunie ! Come, Holy Uliost, for Thee we call, Spirit of burning, come." We grieve to note a falling-off in many of our conne.\ional funds. This is doubtless caused in part by the severe commercial depression through which our province has been passing, but we are persuaded that the work of God will never be supported as it should be until all our people have learned to "honor God with their substance and the first-fruits of all their increase." We earnestly commend to you the practice of syste- matic beneficence, laying by a fi.xed proportion of your incomes to be used in the Lord's work. Only so can giving become a joy, the poor as well as the rich sharing in this delightful service. " Every man, according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of neces- sity, for God loveth a cheerful giver." " And Ciod is able to make all grace abound towards you ; that ye always, having all suflicieucy in all things, may abound to every good work." We especially regret to notice a decrease in the amount contributed to the missionary enterprises of the Church, and fear there is some founda- tion for the conviction expressed by the Missionary Secretary after a recent visit to the coast, that in this respect we are not doing our whole duty. Tiiis is a Missionary Conference, receiving each year in giants 18!)5] METHODIST CONFERENCE. 49 )iigliolfls of at we may gospel, for ik Ijoklly as er sufficient hers, a oluss )js many of .1-6 our class 1)6 rs of their he gospel of aitli and of urc'li for the our Sunday sir power to ice into the r an institu- 3o Christian ersion of the • is it, as we 1 mother are essons in the 30 questions, vest," so few of the Holy oi K. to which from the Missionary Society many times the amount raised for this pur- pose witiiin its bounds. No pressure of local demands can relieve us from the responsibility of looking beyond self and home needs to the great world still lying in heathen darkness. For this world Christ died, andYo it w(! are debtors, having been " put in trust of the Gospel." " Jf any man secth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion towiirds him, how dwelleth the love of (Jod in him?" If this be true of merely temporal necessities, how much the more when the need is that of a knowledge of the way of salvation. "Therefore as ye abound in every thing, in faith and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also." Let our motto Ije, " Christ for the world, and the world for Christ." He died for us; let us be willing to die for Him, consecrating to Him ourselves, our children, our time, our substance, hastening the day when " He shall see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied." We commend to your earnest sympathy and liberality the educational interests of our Church, and especially of our own College. In the provi- dence of God the opportunity is now oflfered to put it upon a sound and secure financial footing. This done, it will soon become a glory and strength to our young Conference, and the training school of our rising ministry. Our church periodicals deserve your continued support. Particularly tlie Christian (itunrdian as the official organ of the Connexion, and one of the strongest bonds of union between the East and West, should be in every Methodist home in the land, and now, at $1 per year, is within the reach of all. It needs not that we should urge you, with all faithfulness, to support every cause of moral and social reform. The great questions of Sabbath ohservance and the prohibition of the liquor traffic are still unsettled. Upon the unholy altars of the liquor Moloch, thou.sands of the youth of our land are yearly sacrificed. Against this iniquity w>' have many times borne our testimony as a Church. That it still flourishes is a reproach and shame to Christendom. " Deliver us from blood-guiltiness, O God of our salvation, and our tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness." Many other economic problems which, in our increasingly complex society, are inextricably interwoven with the social and moral well bfitig of the people, are pressing for solution ; such as the bes'/ method of securing for all equal right of access to natural oppor- tunities ; insuring to every man undisturbed possession of the fruits of his own labor ; removing artificial restrictions to the production and equitable distribution of wealth ; the complete enfranchisement of women ; the simplifying and purifying of government. The settlement of such questions according to the principles of the Gospel, and by prac- tical application of the " Law of Love," is of supreme importance to the Clmri'h of God. You do well to consider them with the utmost care. Permit us to counsel you against a conservatism which rejects everything that is out of harmony with existing customs on the one hand, and on the other, against too readily accepting crude and half-formed opinions as though they contained the sum of all wisdom. Remember that no question is settled until it is settled according to the eternal law of right. 4bc no MINUTK8 OF THE HIUTISH COLUMHIA [18K5 And now, tiulovtd, we cominend you to tlie God of all grace.
