 OCCASIONAL PAPER. 
 
 IsTo- II. 
 
 A Sketch of the work of the Clniroh in the Dioc^^^e 
 of Frederictoii. A. D. 1845-1879. 
 
 The first Bishop of Fredericton was consecrated in the Chapel of 
 I^anibeth Pahace on May 4th, 1845. and on St. Barnabas' Dav he took 
 possession of *he See, and was installed in Christ Church, Fredericton. 
 
 At that tim. a self-sustaining Parish was not to be found in the 
 Diocese. Every Mission depended, more or less, on the Society for the 
 Propagation of the Gospel, the grants made by the Diocesan Church 
 Society for Missionary visits only amounting to £60. 
 
 There were 28 Clergy, 22 Missions, an(r 45 Churches and Chapels. 
 At the present time there are 70 Clergy, 69 Missions, and 115 Churches 
 and Chapels ; shewing an increase in the thirty-four years of 42 Clergy, 
 47 Missions, and 70 Churches and Chapels.* Thirteen Parishes and 
 Missions are now maintained without aid from any Society, while 
 Chatham, Dorchester, Rothesay, and Woodstock, though still receiving 
 aid from the D. C. S., are really self suj)porting, as they contribute more 
 to the Society than they receive. Besides these, 52 Missions are sup- 
 plied with n ^ular services, and are in part sustained by grants from 
 the D. C. S. All such grants being conditional upon a certain contri- 
 bution by the Mission itself. 
 
 In 1845 the grant from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel 
 to this Diocese was £4300 stg. After the arrival of the Bishop the 
 amount was somewhat larger. From 1848 to 1854 it was not less than 
 £5000. and in 1854 it reached £5348, or about $26,000. This year, 
 1879,_ It is £2100, or about $10,000. 
 
 It is interesting and most encouraging to note how the much greater 
 work of the present is sustained with much less jissistance from the 
 Venerable Society which in past years has done so much for this 
 Diocese. The advance towards self support has been steadily main- 
 tained each year since 1847, when the D. C. S. began to supply the 
 place of the S. P. G. in assisting Missions which, either because of their 
 recent origin or the poverty of the people, required external aid. Up 
 to this time, the work of the D. C. S. had been chiefly to aid in build'ng 
 Churches and the distribution of books purchased from the S. P. C. K. 
 In this year, "aid to new and poor Missions" was added to its objects, 
 and under this all the Missionary work of the Diocese has since been 
 carried on.

 THE BOARD OF PIOME MISSIONS. 
 Since 1869, the care of this work has been entrusted to the Board of 
 Home Missions, which is annually elected by the General C^mnii4e

 a voice, through his chosen representatives, in the selection of ids" Board

 AVITIIDRAWAL OF THE S. P. G. GRANT. 
 
 This shows that very satisfactory propfress has been made: and yet 
 Jiere IS a ^reat de.l to be done, and we mav not rest satisf e t s^ay 
 where we are. tor two reasons, that is impossible. First, because of 
 
 Heathen are daily calling more and more ur-entlv for help we who 
 have been so long assisted, unist be readv and willing t b m oV to 
 maintain our own work. The rule of the 8. P. G. is, that a Iran si aU 
 not be given longer than nine years to anv one Mis tn s^ ve nnk 
 
 sclt supi)orting. AVe certainly have much need to be thankful for the 
 generous extension of this rule in our case. But the o^an 1 been 
 reduced from $20,000 in 1854 to ;J;10,000 in 1879. /A^7?c ,4 U 6

 Secondly, it is impossible to stand still, because of the increased work 
 
 cUl n^o?r.h^"P '" 'T" i''V-^"f 'he Diocese. New Missions art 
 calling for help to secure the ministrations of the Church Old Alis- 
 sions^ grown too large for one Clergyman to serve, need to be divided ^

 the centres of population. All this nee.i more monev Rut i doe no 
 require more than we might expect, if everv man would give rmd a rlv 
 and systematically " as Go.I has prospered' him." Eighteen t^ u' 'nfi 
 do lars seems a good sum to be contributed in the Diocese in o. I^r 
 but it IS quite certain that if every one gave according to his mean, the 
 amount would be much greater. The census gives the Church fEn^! 
 
 estimate, the present contributions only average $2 a family. Prob- 
 ably a weekly offering, in place of the yearly snibscription, ^v4uld soon 
 make a great improvement in this matter. At least it is well worth 
 trying, especially as it is the more Scriptural method
