ANNUAL IIEPOIIT FOR 1873. . • in pivscntiiig the members of the Society with a statement of the work accomplislicd during the year, the Central Board, notwitlislanding tlio very depressed state of commerce, rejoice in being able to report a steady advance in the Annual Income. It was feared tliat tlie Society would sutfer in consequence of the beforo-mcnlioiied stagnation in Trade during tiie latter ]KirL of the year ; il lias, however, pleased the "tJivcrofall Good" to ])iit it into the hearts of Churchmen to aid, by most liberal olVcrings, the Society in its manifold operations for the well being of the Church in the Diocese. It is gratifying to notice a marked increase in the revenue of the (rcneral Fund, thereby enabling the Society to act vigorously in aiding Schools, establishing Endowment Funds, erecting Parsonages tind assisting in other Church objects. The attention of tlie Clergy is again directed to the fact that the Treasurer closes the Mission Fund Account at noon on the olst of December in each year; very much inconve- nience is experienced by neglecting to forward in duo time all moneys for the Society.

A full account of the ini.ssionary labours of the Society will be found in the Eci)ort of the Diocesan Board. It will, however, be well to Btatc here that in consequence of the increase in immigration and spread of our peojilc, at least four more missionaries are imniodialcly required. It is much to be ])0])ed that the subject of the Societ3''s employment of •'• Travelling Missionaries" will be seriously considered and carried to a successful termination. A column will be added to the Society's Eeport next year for Special Subscriptions and Donations to the Travelling Missionary Fund. It is with ]ilcasure the Board re])orts a large increase in (itlerings for i-'oreign Missions. A column has been opened in the Accounts for subscriptions and donations to the Diocese of Algomaand Heathen Missions. widows" and orphans' fund. The condition of this Fund is most satisfactor}', the yearl}' contributions being in excess of the claims upon the Fund, while the interest on the invested capital reaches 81992.40. The Board hopes that the time is not far distant when an increase can with salety be made to the amount of Pensions. The Treasurer reports that the fulloAving Clergymen have qualified as participants in the beneMts of the Fund, viz: — lleverend Messrs. Smith, Iveni]), Fothergill, Vial, Eoss, W. King, Yon Ililand, Burrago, Thompson, Ker, Lyster, Short, Washer, Ptichardson, Debbage, Woolrychc, Mathers, Eiopel, Foster, Jenkins, Boydell, iloe, Hepburn, Mcrriclc, Boyle, Eawson. PENSION FUND. It is a subject of deep regret that this most excellent .{•'and has onl}' been increased during the year by the sum of $112.52. Several of the Congregations have failed to make even the required collection through the offertory. ENDOWMENT FUND. An account of the various Endowment Funds will be found in the report of the Clergy Trust Committee, with the excep- tion of that of Nicolet, which appears in the accounts of tho Treasurer of the Society. Tho Board is glad to be able to report an increase in some of the amounts by fresh donations and the formation of three new Endowments, viz ; Malbaie, Leeds and Kingsey. 11 DKPOSITORV.

This branch of the Society's labours is increasing in impor- tance, and it is to belioped that the Funds of the Society will soon permit of a niuch larger grant to Julucational purposes. The good eii'ectcd by the aid already extended is very great. An excellent Church-School has been put in operation at Ma])le Grove (Xew Ireland) during the year, towards M'hich the Society luis made an annual allowance to the teacher as well as a grant towards the erection of the building. Another school has very recently been added to the list in Inverness. A grant of suitable school-books has been made to tlie mission school on the Labrador Coast. It is, however, to be regretted that some of the schools are temporarily closed from the difficulty in obtaining teachers. There has been no change in the Inspectorship during" the year.

ANNUAL EEPORT OP THE DrOCESAN BOARD T O T II K 11 U il C 11 S O C I K T Y FOR 1873. In submittiiifT its Annual Ttoport to the Church Socict}', tlio Diocesan Board ha^ much pleasure in stating that sufficient funds arc in hand for the purpose of augmcntinL-: the Stipends of the Clergy in accordance with the terms of the By-law adopted by your Society in the month of June last. The augmentation for the past year will shortly be made in the form of a bonus, although in strict conformity with the scale fixed in the By-law— and until the Synod has re- pealed the scale to bo found in Canon IX and substituted that in the By-law, the increase must necessarily bo made by this method. In the Session of Synod, held during the past year, the necessary amendments were proposed and carried, and will, without doubt, bo finally eontirmed in 1875. The following abstract of the Revenue Account for 1873 shows,— when compared with that for the previous year, (See page 20 of Church Society Eeport for 1872.)— how your Board is enabled to command the resources necessary for the increase of Stipends decided upon. 16 Dr. Cr.

Your Board desires to note a very general improve- ment in the regularity with wliich the Cluirch-AVurdens pa}- the assessments. Tlie close of tlie yenr witnesses a much smaller amount of arrears due by the Missions than was wont to be the case formerly. The assessments paid in 1ST3 extoed by $500 the amruuit received at tlie same dale in 1S72. without any actual in- crease in the sura agreed upon. Lest the statement made above ivlative to the very con- siderable sum reserved for the inci'ease of Stipends siionld convey a false idea of financial i)rospcrity, it must be borne in mind ihat, owing to temporary vacancies in some Mission--, the item of Stipends iDaid is $1,000 less than in 1872. Wure all the Missions aided by the Board supplied with the Ministrations of tho Church the funds would scarcely bo sufficient for the purpose. The Joint Mission of Portneaf and Bourg Louie, havinj 17 boon rc-dividod, tho Mission of Boiirg Louis is vacant, as also tho Mugdalon Islands. A Clergyman will also bo noeded for tho Mission of tho Peninsula in the course of tho ensuing summer, so that funds for tho payment of three more Clergymon should in fact be provided. During the past year your Board has been much occupied with the subject of a general increase of assessments through- out the Diocese. Negotiations with the various congregations have resulted in a promised increase of $600. A few Missions which have not yet finally signified their agreement, will probably raise that amount to $700, T)io Mission of Compton having attained a position of self-maintenance, will no longer appear on the list of Missions aided by tho Board. The following appointments have been made during the past year ; — In Jammry last, Revd. II. C. Stuart to the Mission of Ilopetown. In April, Ilevd. A. Balfour to the Mission of Magog. In June, Revd. C. B. Washer to tho Mission of Inverness. Revd. J. H. S. Sweet, to tho Mission of Stoneham and Lake Beauport. Revd. S. Riopel, to the Mission of Valcartier and St. Catherines. In November, Revd J. B. Debbage to the Mission of Portneuf. The Reports of tho Clergy are herewith submitted, from which your Society will bo pleased to noto many evidences of steady improvement iu tho Missionary operations of the Diocese. These Reports aro becoming more complete and interesting every year, and arc sent in by an ever-increasing number of tho Clergy. Tho Report of tho Missionary on the Coast of Labrador always attractive from the peculiar nature of the work en- giiged in, will bo read with special interest, pointing out, as it does, the unexampled growth and importance which that Northern boundary of the Diocese has assumed during the past year.

J arrived licro in AugiiHt, 1872, and, therefore, liavo been in occupation of the Mission a little over a year. Dui'ing tliat period tlie Chiircli lias received a largo accession to her ninnbers, in the shajjo of immigrants from Newfoundland, driven from tliat Island by the lato failure in the fisheries. About 200 new members have thus been added, lialf of whoni are Churcli i)eo]>lo, the remainder dissenters. I am happy to sa^", liowcver, that these latter seem all of them to bo in process of becoming Churchmen, ]>y the satisfactory channel of genuine conviction. At the same lime it is true that the Church's Ministralions are the only religious oi-dinanccs within their reach. The Alission has now extended itself nearly 70 miles beyond its former limits, in a western diu'ction. Last winter I travelled as far as >,'atas([uan, about 100 miles west of Cajtc "Whittle, which has hitht'i'to been f)ur terminus. But as at tho first-named ])lace there are only two individuals who are non-Romanists, 1 have thought it better (o make Kegashka JJiver. about lit) miles east of this, or 70 miles west of Ca])e Whittle, our usual limit in that direction. The cause of the extension I have mentioned is the settle- ment of four new families on that ]»art of the coast, three of whom wholly, and one partially, belong to the Cliurch. I was in Kegashka Ba}- on the 15th of September, and was joy- fully welcomed by the new-comers, M'ho had only been there for a few weeks. Tlio vessel which brouLdit them had returned to Newfoundland for .several more families, and her return w'as being anxiously expected at the time of my visit. Whether these have actually arrived I have since had no means of learning. In the neighbourliood of these settlers is another Anglican famil}', that of Jlr. Foreman, Avhom I visited last winter, and who has been resident there for several years. In all, 30 new families have arrived on this coast from Newfoundland (as permanent settlers), forming an addition of 197 members to the Church's flock. Two ol;her ftimilios were here for a time, but have returned (one of them only temporarily) to Newfoundland. Another family has joined us from tho northern part of tho Labrador coast, making the total number of new settlers at present among us 203 individuals, in 31 families. This is a large accession for the ^ 10 Church to ac([uiro in tho cnurso of one yoftr. Many more arc- expected next Honson. Those people are, as a i^enoral rule, well iiistriu.'tc(l and well ('((iidiicted, and Hoein very ea^er to avail tlieinselves of the Church's ministrations. They arc all in the western portion ol'the Mission. I'liis Mission at ]>rest'nt c(nn])rises about 250 miles of ooast- lini', Irum Hlanc .Sahlon (in tho Straits of Bello-lsle), tho point at which it meets the Newfoundland Mission of Forteau, lo Kci;ashka iliver, nearly opposite the eastern extremity of Anticosti. It naturally divides itself into two ])ortions, an eastern and a western, divided b}- a ,ii;a]» of about 70 miles, (Lac Sale to Uaic des JJochors), within which space are only 7 families. For the Mission to bo conducted with any measui'c of success it will be necessary to deal with these two divisions separately, In tlio western division are 37 families, distributed along about 140 miles of e(»ast. IJiit of these 2l» lie within a distance of 40 miles. Jlere there is one nucleus; tluMi comes the gap of 70 miles, with 7 fandlies; then another space of 40 miles, (the eastern nucleus) containing 20 families. \ have included the (! dnitioiis families at jiresent claimed by the (Congrega- tional .Mission; because sooner or later, if the Church's work continues l)y the Divine JMossing to go on aiMl ])rosper, they must Join us. Jfy ])lau is to form separate liead-quartcrs in each (d' these 'nuclei,' with a ^[isslon Chapel, School, and residence in each ; that tho Clergyman may divide his time between them in ]>rotty equal portions, making each for tho time his centre of pastoral visitatit)n. The matter does not offer any grand (lilHculty, nor demand much cx]>cnditurc. For the western district we have tho ^lission buildings at St. • A^u^sline^ portion of which is at this moment (or should be) in course of removal to Schooner Bay, where it will bo in imme- diate proximity to 13 families. For the eastern district it will bo needful either to build a fresh, or to secure tho building at present occupied by the Congregational Mission. Wo have already reckoned the cost of building, and find that on the humble scale which we propose to ourselves, wo shall need very little, if any, help from without. My idea is ultimately to make each school a boarding-school ; a small family to take charge of the building; tho teacher to reside in tho school ; the girls to do the house work ; tho boys to chop wood and carry water ; and the whole to bo conducted on such an economical plan as to entail very little more expense upon the parents than that of their children's maintenance at home. f]ach family will thus have the opportunity of 20 Hondiiig ono or muro of its moniborH to hdiool (or at any rale a low nioiitlis in tlio youv.

This Hcdionio is of course merely a HUggostion olforod to tho consideration of future Missionarii"), as my own term of ahsence from my i'arish of Drummond- villo will expire next summer. Tlio western district is in many respects tho most promis- ing for an undertaking of this kind; hut its inhabitants are nearly all now comers; have their winter houses to build, and tho uphill work (jf making a new homo for themselves. I, therefore, deterjnined to begin with the old established settlers in the Eastern District. Last summer T made an Tirgent ro([UOst to the Bishop that ho would provide a school- master for one year. 1 had proposed to build, but in the spring camo tho news (to their own agent), that tho Congre- gational Society had ''given up tho Mission to tho Church of England." Tho agent assured mo that the buildings of that Mission wore at my service for tho present, at any rate. In tho spirit of friendship, I accepted tho otter. But in August came tho news that the Society's mind had been changed, and tho Mission resumed. It was too lato to think of build- ing in the midst of tho busy season. Tho Bishop had most kindly acceded to my request, and the teacher was coming. What was to bo done ? I started for tho westward, saw tho Newfoundland people at Schooner Bay (closo to Mullen Bay), and proposed that they should build a School-house and receive the teacher. They seemed fully alive to the advantage of the benefit that was offered them, but being already over- done with work, thought the undertaking impossible for this year. I was deeply mortified and perplexed ; but, on stating my difficulties to Mr. S. Kobortson, of Tabatiero, ho took tho matter up warmly, proposed the removal of the Cha])cl and School-house from St. Augustine, and returning with Mr. Gallichan and myself to Mullen Bay, a meeting was called. Mr. Robertson made his proposition, ottering his own assis- tance, seconded by that of Mr. Gallichan, and it was unani- mously and cheerfully agreed that the ettbrt should be made and the buildings prepared. Eeturning to the eastward, I reached my head-quarters, at Stick Point, on tho very day of the school-master's arrival, Mr. George Butler, a young gentleman whoso piety and exemplary conduct are well known to all who have now mado his acquaintance. In a few days I propose to start 21 ■f • • witn }iim for Sclioonor JJay nnd osttibliMli him in the scono of •h'\H lahoui'M. I rthould not hiivo carriod my Tloport lo this uniluo hnipth, hut lur my wiNh to cxphiin fully tliu ultrrod and ox)iiindud conditioti of this Mission, an tho fruili'id results which havo followed the zealous anil energetic laboui's of my pi-edocessor, llm Jlev, ,1. Hepburn, among those (jf my Hock who wore here at the time of hiw incumbency. Of these, I can only Hay that he has laboured, and I am reaping the fruit of his labours. [ have not oeen able to enter into any details of my own work. During the winter 1 paid the usual visit to the For- teau Mission. My journeys during that season amounted in all to about 820 miles, and tlie length of cojiHt-lino visited to about 3'J() miles. Since navigation opened 1 have twice made the lour of my mission, and have been much gratitiod with tlio rea « 23 or clso this would have been reinediod before ; 1 trust, how- ever, wo may soon bo able to repair this broach in the House of the Lord. I must here mention one improvement in the Stoneham Church during the past year, namely, — the tinning of the Belfry and Steeple by T. H. Grant, Esq. As this was a costly undertaking, wo cannot bo too grateful to that gentleman. The Church at Lake Beauport is a poor, barnlike structure ; certainly one not calculated to inspire the worshipi)ers with feelings of devotion and reverence. The low roof, its unvar- nished and creaking seats are such as to damp the aspirations of any to "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness," and when we add to this its " out of the way " position, it can well be understood that a now Church is much wanted for this Mission. If other things in the parish are satisfactorily ar- ranged, I hope si»on to malco a movement in this direction. There is one i)ai'tieular in both Cliurchcs which one can- not help lamenting, viz. : the wretched, ftided altar cloths, which, such as they arc, fall to aljout a foot only over the side of the Table. Aro there no rich hidies who might occupy our long wintry evenings in providing us with these neces- saries for (iod's House ? I found no Sunday-schools wlien T came here, but I am ha{)py to 1)0 able to report that they are now started in l)0th places witli a fair attendance, Tlie tlobt which, from some negligence or other, has re- mained so long u])on the Parsonage, seems now in prospect of being liquidated, thanks to the energetic manner in which it has been taken up by the Church Societ}', and to the groat liberality of Wm. Drum, Esq., who has generously surrendered a large amount of his claim upon it; unless I am too sanguine, I hope to see the remainder paid oft' by next summer. Excel- lent as the house is itself, it sadly wants many outhouses, 8uch as stabling, &c ; those, however, will come in time. At the beginning of the year I find the people of Stone- ham were in arrears with their assessment, out owing to the energy of the Kev. C. B. Washer, my immediate predeces- sor, (who had charge of the Mission only for a few months), it was soon made up, and since then the people have been moro steady in their quarterly payments. The assessments of both Missions have been raised for tho next two years, and I am happy to report that the people have willingly done what they could to meet it, though they have not been able to raise the full amount at first levied. Our day Schools are doing very well, they are under 24 able and efficient masters, and the averages are fairly steady ; the one at Lake Beauport, however, carries off the palm in this respect ; the average of Stonehara is not, perhaps, what it ought to be. We are looking forward with a little anxiety to the future, as the Eoman Catholics are in process of opening Schools on their own behalf; this will a little interfere with our numbers and split up the Government Grant. The following amounts have been raised in the two Missions during the year : ' General Fund of Church Society $12.00 Mission " " " 3.25 Widows' and Orphan s' Fund 4.40 Pension Fund 2.00 Education Fund 50 Annual Assessment 120 . 00 Oftertor}- 34.32 Synod Expense Fund 2.00 Foreign Missions 1.75 $180.22 J. II. S. Sweet. NEW IRELAND. I consider the year just closing the most successful of my missionary experience. In addition to the regular routine of work at two Churches and three Stations I would call at- tention to the following particulars. Early in January I presented 39 candidates for confirmation. About mid-winter the adult members of Trinity Church, male and female, came one day to the Parsonage, and while the men cut and drove to the shed 5 cords of wood, at the same time I received a handsome present for m}-^ Parsonage from the Ladies of the Congregation. In June a very agreeable Festival and Concert was given by the young ladies of the same congregation, the proceeds of which, $25, was devoted to procuring books for the Sunday-school Library, which has since become a valuable auxiliary to Mission work. In November our Parish School was opened. Thirty scholars have been admitted, and the work generally successful. $150 was raised in the mission for the school house, $75 given by kind friends in Quebec, and $50 by the Church Society, covering all expense of building so far. We also have to thank the Church Society for their Annual Grant of $40 towards Teacher's salary; the Colonial and Continental Church Society for the same sum, and a very good supply of school requisites in the way of maps and books. 25 f* fcv Three Sunday-schools have been kept open from Easter to Ad- vent. Trinity Church, by R 11. Wood, Esq. ; Christ Church, by Mrs. Wood and Mr. Wm. Johnston ; Halifax, by Eobt. Kerr, Esq. This assistance I prize very highly, both for the relief ta myself and the efficiency of the work. A very pleasant reunion with Christmas Tree was generally well attended by all|the schools at the Parsonage. The Registers show Baptisms, 42; Marriages, 1; Burials, 10. Total amount raised for Church purposes in the parish during the year, $547.50. Tiios. L. Ball. LEEDS. This Mission presents no new features, neither is there any thing str' king or startling to relate. The old story of tliis routine of worlc varies but little from j'car to year. The usual services have been held in the several Churches- and stations with, upon the whole, satisfactory results. On the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany the Lord Bishop of the Diocese held confirmation in the Mission, at St. James' Church, when eleven candidates were presented, and at St. Mark's Church, in the afternoon of the same day,, fourteen renewed their baptismal vows. Broughton had to be passed over owing to a severe snow-storm, which rendered this road impassable for three daj's ; his Lordship, however included that Congregation on his tour through the extensive Mission of the JJcv. "W. King, and on the first of October confirmed a very interesting class of fifteen. A few of the candidates who had been under instruction failed to attend some on account of sickness, one or two had left, and one had died. The assessment has been paid bj^ the several Congregations and 1 am thankful to say that we shall commence the new year with all ])aid up. I only hojie it may continue to be paid ; the subscriptions and collections for the Church Society amount to a very respectable figure, notwithstand- ing the extra assessment which the people have agreed to raise for the coming year. The most wealthy of the community do not belong to the Church ; our people, indeed, are for the most part poor, witb just as much as they can do to get a living. Contributions during the past year : Diocesan Board $105.00 Church Society 45.00 $240.00 John Jvemp> 26 BOURG-LOUIS AND PORTNEUP. The past year at Bourg-Louis commenced with difiiculties. Services had to be suspended ; at length, after a petition from the people to that effect, a part of the debt was remitted. This left only a few dollars to be made up ; after this had been done the Church bell was rung, and there was great re- joicing. Since that time my intercourse with the people has been of a more pleasant nature. After the Church was re- opened the Congi'Cgation steadily increased, and the Church became well tilled. As the people responded and sang well, we had very hearty services. There was also a goodly number of communicants, so I commenced to celebrate the Holy Communion after every Sunday morning service. This has been kept up ever since. In the beginning of last ■October I removed from Jiourg-Louis to Portueuf; the Parsonage in the former place is empty, and the ])Cople have no resident Clergyman of our Church amongst them. But I li(jpe this will not be for long. I am seventeen miles away from them, and sometimes tlie roads are very bad. Some- thing that took place during the past week Mill serve as an illustration of the dilliculties under which a Mis.sionary who has long distances to travel has to labour. Last Sunday one of my parishioners, whom I have been visiting during many months, died. 1 was away at Portneul'. A message was sent by the courrier to Pointe-anx-Trembles. He was to send the message to me by telegrapli. In (U'der to accomplish this the telegram had to be sent to Quebec by one com[)any, and then back to Portneuf by another; it was evening Avhcn the message reached Portneuf to ask mo to be out at Bourg-Louis the next morning at 10 o'clock for the funeral. However, when the message was taken to my house 1 was eighteen miles away in the op]»osite direction visiting some of my peoi)le, and did not arrive home until the next day, too late to go out to Bourg-Louis. I tlierefore Avaited until the next morning. As soon as it was light enough I started, and on reaching Bourg-Louis found that the peo])le had met to- gether for the funeral at the Church, and waited for me. At last they decided to leave the corpse in the Church until I should come to bury it. So when I went out the next day I found it there. But new troubles arose ; I had to bo back in Portneuf by about .30 a.m., so I had very little time to spare. The funeral, therefore, had to take place before all friends could assemble. This was of course the source of great disappointment and expressions of displeasure. Portneuf was for many years without a resident Clergy- 27 man. Some years ago tJ^e Parsonage was destroyed by fire ; as it was not insured, it .^^as a total loss. It was then decided that Portnouf should be served by the Clergyman residing in Bourg-Louis. The Portneuf Church was 19 or 20 miles from the Parsonage in Bourg-Louis, and many of the people were some miles further away ; the services they could therefore receive were not very satisfactory, and at last the people became dissatisfied. They applied for a resident Clergyman, but as they were required to provide a residence, they did not succeed for some time. At length they purchased a very good liouse, and all was settled. The Mission was otferod to me, and I accepted it. The people from Portneuf, using their own horses, carried our things without charge. "VVo have some very zealous members hero, as well as a remarkably zealous friend in Quebec. Thus, though we are hoping to do great things, I do not think wo are hoping for too much. Certainly not, if our plans accord with the counsels of our (rod. Before concluding, I must refer to a now station at which I commenced ^services about a year ago. A new paper mill has been built near the Red Bridge, the chief owner of which has been a great friend to the Church in Portneuf, I hold service there once a fortnight. This Congregation will form part of the Mission of Bourg-Louis.

Debbage. valcartier. During my short stay of four months in this Mission I have received every encouragement in the work. Though the Parsonage is dilapidated, and in rainy weather leaky, yet 28 our residence is mado agreeable by the kindness of our people. They have undertaken to supply me with the firewood neces- sary to keep the old place warm. They have also occasion- ally provided us with such articles of consumption as ai-o very acceptable to strangers. A strenuous eftbrt has been made to raise the means sufficient to build a new Parsonage. Our members readily came forward and subscribed ^300, a sum considered large for the means of the subscribers. Already the contract for a portion of the required timber is given. It is expected that next summer the building will be completed. We are glad to have this opportunity of thanking the Church Society for the grant of §100 mado towards the building. The attendance at Church is generally very good. Singing is improving, and wo hope responding will soon become more general and hearty. Appended is a statement of monies raised in the Mission during 1873.

NEW LIVERPOOL. A Mission or Parish like Now Liverpool gives me very little to say in the Avay of a formal re])ort ; in mine for last year I mentioned that wo were sadly in want of a Font for our Church, that want still remains to be supplied. The jiarsonagc question, I am glad to say, is for the pref.-nt ;jCt at rest, tlio congregation having very kindly rented a house for me. I cannot say enough of the kindness I have received from all my peoi)le since I have been here ; especially during last summer when I was ill, every one seemed to try who could show the gr( .itest kindness and express the warmest sympathy. I have great pleasure in acknowledging, with many thanks, a set of Communion Linen from some friends in England, and also two very handsome sets of Book markers from Mrs. Henry Atkinson, of Etchemin. For linancial matters I beg to refer to the following statement, which I think all will allow is very satisfactory. /" 29 On referring to my register I find for the year 1873, 5 Baptisms ; 1 Marriage ; 5 Burir.ls. ^ The Lord Bishop of Quebec visited this Mission on Trinity Sunday, when nine young persons were confirmed.

But previous to mv final departure his Lordship visited Inverness and confirmed twenty-nine young persons. In May last, Avhilo carrying on my work at Stoneham and Lake Boauport, I received, to my surprise, an invitatluu iu re- turn to Inverness Mission. My first impulse was to decline, as to_ accept would frustrate the object of the change,— rest, and leisure for reading. On the other hand, there was an oppor- tunity of beginning work anew in my old sphere of labour, among a people whom I knew and who knew me, and above all a proposal to augment for all time the salary of the Clergyman to one thousand dollars, by securing the addition of four hundred dollars yearly to the six hundred of the Diocesan t 30 Board. This munificent proposal Avas made by tho same loyal supporter of our Church and member of the Mission who has been ready at all times to help forward every good work, and made under the conviction that no Clergyman ought to receive less than one thousand dollars a year. I know this gentleman does not wish to have his name published abroad; but I venture to note the benefaction to the Mission in tho hope that other Churchmen in like position may answer tho appeal in tho last Church Society IJoport in tho same way, and augment permanently tho stipends of Clergvmen of other Missions. I placed the matter as to whether I should return to Inverness or not in the hands of tho liishoji, and tho consequence was that I returned to my old Mission. The members of the Mission who subscribe to the Diocesan Board attached their names to the , usual agreement before my re-a])pcarance on tho scene. I was welcomed back very cor- dially ; and the Congregations in Church and School-liouso liave been very good intlceil. Two services are held every Sunday, and three on one Sunday in each month. There arc also three outlying districts which have a monthly visitation, and week-day services when possible, for those who cannot come to Church on Sundavs. Also two schools not aided pecuniarily by the Cliurch arc visited fortnightly for religious instruction. With the new year I expect to visit regularlv two additional schools: these, however, to be aided bv mom-v u-rants, in one case from the Church Society, and in the other from the Colonial and Continental Church Society.''^ Total auKJunt raised for Church Purposes during the year, S540.3-i.

Boyle being apj^ointed to the charge of East Frampton and Standon. Being now relieved of half of the work, I have been able to devote my whole time to West Frampton and Cranbourne, and to give the people more frequent opportunities of worsliip and com- munion. I am glad to say that they have appreciated the privileges thus placed within their reach, and the benefits of * The sum of $129.22 has been forwarded to the Treasurer of the Church Society from thi? Miseion, but received too late to be acknowl- edged in this year's monetary statement. I "1 81 dividing the Mission arc manifest in the large increase in the number of attendants at Church and at the Lord's Tabic, and in the sum contributed for Church purposes. Before the Mission was divided GO was considered a very largo Congregation in West Frampton, now we have seldom less tiian that at any morning service, and not unfrcqucntly there arc between 80 to 00 in Church. The average number of communicants was 12 ; IG was thought a large number ; now there are seldom less than 20 at any celebration, and the number is often nearer 30. The week-day services during Lent were well attended, the number increasing week by week until on Good Friday tlicre were 52 in Church, and on Easter Eve, 5G. The C()n(rii)uti()iis for Church ])urposcs this year are much larger than in any jn-evious year. The assessment to the Diocesan Board has been regularly paid. A good stable, Avith stalls for IG horses, has been erected during the year. A small organ has been ])urchased. The weekly oiVertory has been larger than in any [U'cvious year, and our contributions to the Church .Society have been nearly doubled, so that if we look to the increase in the Congregation, communicants and contributions, the bon^ilits accruing from a division of the Mission havu been very marked, and atl'ord mo matter for much thankfulness. But far above the amounts given do I prize the willing and cheerful spirit which animates the people (of course tlicro are exceptions) in their otlcrings for Church purposes, and irideed in everything connected with Church work in the Mission. During the day wo ^pent in decorating the Church for Christmas Ave could hardly find work for all the Avilling hands that offered their help. Our Church is rather an unsightly structure externally, being l)uilt in the early Canadian style of architecture, but by the loving labours of young and old it was made to assume a very bright and cheerful appearance inside on the great Christian Festival. iVny Eeport of this Mission would be incomplete without some reference to our Schools. Of these there are tAvo undei- Church control Avith about 90 scholars on the role, they have been a great help to me and of great benefit to the Mission. Of the School at Cranbourno i can say little at present, as it was without a teacher for more than a year, and the present master, Mr. Daly, has only been with us a couple of months, but from his past record as a teacher, I am sure that I shall be able to give a good account in my next report. Tho School in "West Frtimpton Ims been taught for some years by Mr. Dickson, who dischargca liis duties in a way which gives great satisfaction to all interested in it. Tho Government Inspector, Mr. Thompson, has more than once expressed liis gratification at tho progress made by tho cliildren, and Kev. M. M. Fothorgill, who examined them recently, said " they gave abundant proof of having been very carefully taught." In order to encourage tho young ones, wo determined to give them a treat at Christmas. Some young ladies collected funds for a School Feast and Christmas Tree for tho children of tho Sunday and day schools and their friends, and on Christmas Eve 65 gifts were distributed, and ,120, young and old, partook of the good cheer provided for them, and all seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.

The duties of this Mission hftvo been uniiiterruptodly dis'- charged since writing my last lieport. I liave so i'roquontly indicated what thoso duties arc as to render it unnecessary, on this occrsiou, to refer to them in detail. With regard to the quality and quantity of work accom- jdished within the past year, the Jiishop alone, 1 conceive, lias the right to weigh and Judge. Into his ear do I feel myself at liberty to oxpresii; my hopes anrovious year. The excess is caused by two special efforts made bv tho people to supply two very important deficiencies, each one very desirable and necessary, and each one requiring a very considerable cttort on the part of the people to meet it. Tho first was the erection of a commodious and comfortable horse- shed, and we have now tho satisfaction of seeing and enjoying a first-class church-slied. The other eflfbrt was the starting of an endowment fund. Early in the year Kobert Hamilton, Esq., of Quebec, most generously oHered to the Mission, througli tlie Bishop, the sum of throe hundred dollars, jtrovided the Church Society would give one hundrcl, and the Mission raise another hundred. Tho oft'or was ielt by the people to be a most noble and generous one, and one that must not, if jiossible, bo allowed to slip through their fingers, though, as they said, " it came at a very inconvenient time," as they were just then making most tremendous efforts to put uj) their shed. However, "it must bo raised" was the unanimous expression, and of course it was raised. Let us hope that now the ball has been set rolling, it will go on rolling till it has accumulated a good thick coating of gold-dust. We would tako this opportunity of offering to our kind friend, Mr. Hamilton, our best and warmest thanks. In January we had our annual missionary meetings, and, all things considered, may be said to have been satisfactory. On the 19th of June the Bishop administered the rit« of confirmation ; thirteen were confirmed, 5 girls and 8 boys. We hope to have another small class ready for the coming summer. 35 Tho 8orvieo.s of tlio Church have been carrictl on during tho yoar with the usual amount of regularity, both in tho Church and tho two ouf-stations. On Sundays during the Hummer throo sorvicos havo boon colobratod, two in tho Church and ono in a dintant School-houwo, and two Sunday- schools. Tho Hamo sorvicos are contemplated during tho winter months. Shortly aftor ChriHtmaH wo had a ChristmaH Tree for our throo Sunday-Hchools, to tho amubcraent of all, and tho evident delight of tho children. •Some wlight alterations and refurnishing of our < juvncoi will very sliortlv bo carried out, and then, in a matt' rial point of view, wo shall be in a very satisfactory condition, though more remains to be dom>, and what wo havo tit present must 1)0 kept in good oi'dor. Of the inner and spiritual life of tho Church wo do not deem it desirable or proHtable to speak thus publicly, tho duly done and tho moans used being all any one can speak of with certainty. in conclusion, I would wish briefly to speak of tho satis- faction and pleasure I havo felt in receiving from time to time presents from ditferent members of my O)ngregation, both on account of their intrinsic value, and also, but more partictihu'ly, on account uf tho kindly fooling thus manifested. George IIenrv Parker. DURUAM. Tho zeal and liberality which characterized this Mission last year, and which were then reported of it, havo produced, to a great extent, I think, such sustained results as all who are not too sanguine ought to havo expected. A greater general interest in tho cause of religion, and a nivjre intelligent attachment to tho Church as a Divine Insti- tution for tho maintenance of religion, is being manifested. Notwithstanding oft-recurring stormy Sunday's, the ordi- t\a,vy attendance upon the services has boon steadily kept up. These, hold upon tho Lord's Day and upon chief Festivals and Fasts, and including a few other specially appointed services, have numbered, in Upper Durham, 61 ; South Dur- ham, 52 ; L'Avenir, 52 ; Central District, 31 ; other School- housos, 7 ; in all 203, shewing an average of almost 4 a week. Here I would thankfully acknowledge, in behalf of myself and tho Parish, the occasional help of Mr. Albert Stevens and of Mr. Emberson, also of brother Clergymen,— of the latter especially in administering Holy Communioi: 10 times publicly and 6 times to the sick and infirm. Baptisms have been w 86 more numerous than usual ; marriages sustain thoir average ; the death-rate has been greater. More than a thousand (1052) clerical visits are recorded. Tronholmville, opposite Durham, on the other side of the St. Francis, and taking its name from one of the oldest and largest families, seem ahvaj's to have been reckoned within the bound of this Mission. Occasional services have been begun in the Duffy School- house, only on the special request from that locality. The Eural Dean has paid a visit of inspection, his first since the building and repairing of the Churches. In September the Bishop honoured and encouraged us by assisting at a Sunday's services throughout the Parish. A class of confirmees is soon to be presented to his Lordship at South Durham. Much to the benefit of L'Avcnir, J. J. Proctor, Esq., haU charge of a flourishing school there during the winter term, ilis absence through removal to a larger field of duty is greatly regretted. Some of the day schools receive a visit now and then from the Clergyman. South Durham is rejoicing in the re-opening of the Extract Factory, and in the return of Mr. Miller and othei»s. In this ])art of the Parish a series of special services, corrcsjionding very much to what is termevl a Mission, was held in October with eminent success. Last year Durham stood at the head of all single country Missions of the Diocese in the total (S1534. 78) raised both for Home and Foreign purposes. This year, as the financial statement will show, the contributions to special objects have been more numerous (once a month), more general and gene- rous, whilst tho local necessities of the parish have been recognised quite as liberally. IIow hai)])y the conviction that it is really " more blessed to give than to receive." Tho Mission has again received much generous support from outside sources, mostly given conditionally upon reason- able self-help. The sum of $100 under Upper Dnrham's Building Fund is tho balance of a sum promised by tho Eev. Mr, Carr. Thanks are again due to amateur musicians from adjoining parishes for help at entertainments, also to Mr. Frederick Hall of Ulverton, who most kindly threw open his house for a Social, which, with others in tho Church- school, brought in 8121. One of the happiest days of tho year M'^as tho 24th of May, on which the anniversary Dedica- tion Festival was celebrated, and when the inhabitants and their friends kept a general holidaj-. Morning Prayer was said in the new Church. Luncheon, tea, and concert took place in the Church-school; the ])roceed8 were 8160. From Upper Durham the Incumbent virtually received a new sleigh, ^' 37 for he was not allowed to pay for it. He was also the reci- pient of a handsome gift from Mr. Cordon and other English industrial-school lads. Mr. George Atkinson, superintendent of the Sunday-school and curator of the Church, received a handsome Bible and Book of Common Prayer, and his daughter a lino copy of Hymns, A. and M., from the Congregation at L'Avenir. The people in the Central District have voluntarily contri- buted, more than heretofore to different objects, showing their appreciation of clerical duties done amongst them. The aggregate debt tipon the parish is being gradually diminished, but nothing has yet been done to secure the 19 acres of land in Upper Durham given by the late Rev. S. S. Wood, on condition that within a certain time, fast expiring, u Parsonage and Church-school be built thereon. Something, however, has been promised towards fitting up the old Church for a lecture room and school, and between |400 and $500 liavy been subscribed for repairing St. Paul's Church, L'Avenir, adding a tower and obtaining a bell, but the early apjH'onch of winter bus prevented the work from being more than begun at either ])lace. The licvd. Mr. Parker, with his usual generosity towards Duriuim, has ottered conditionally to have the walls of Trinity Church tiuti'd. Conti'ibutions to Missionary designs have been $53 as against $42 .0(3 last year. Here I cannot refrain from record- ing that the day before the missionary boxes would have been called in, a fine farm-house, belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Mountain, was burnt to the ground and young Mrs. Mountain's missionary box destroyed. Last year she collected $15. This year she was eclipsing herself, and had got together $21.25. JCnowing that AL*s. Mountain, with characteristic conscien- tiousness, deplored the loss of this missionary money more even than the loss of many valuable personal effects ; know- ing, too, that she proposed as soon as possible to make good the loss to Church funds, a work of supererogation certainly, for such sums must, like others, be subject to ordinary risk ; some of her many friends promptly obtained a new and similar box, freighted it with a sum equal to that destroyed, and presented this substitute to her on the following Sunday, with an expression of sympathy for the family's heavy loss and of a prayerful hope that an increase of God's blessing would soon give them more than they had before.

Diirinii; this period, Actonvule, connected as its welfare has been with successful progress of the copper nunes in the vicinity, has experienced evil as well as prosj)crous da^'s. In 18G8, when our little Church was erected, everything looked bright and promising, the works at the mines were energetically carried on, and new houses were daily spring- ing up as by magic. This state of things, however, did not last, the works were entirely suspended, and a general feeling of despondency fell upon the community. Then many a one repented of having invested his means in Acton property. This present year a reaction has taken place, and business is becoming livelier, and the works at the mines Lave been resumed, though not on an extensive scale. About 20 new houses have been built during the year, a few of which have some pretentions to architecture, and can well bear inspection. As it has been with the general condition of tlie community, so it has been with the Church in this place. With it the Mis- sion has flourished and wavered, and is now looking forward to better times with great expectation. When our finances were flourishing, the annual assessment paid to the Diocesan Board was 0400, and the Acton Mission could pride itself in havirig the whole ministration of its Clergyman to itself. However, from the lowness of our finances, the Upton Mission had to be connected with that of Acton, and on July 16tb, 1865, I commenced holding divine service every Sunday at both posts. When this occurred the Diocesan Board fixed our assessment at $160. The Board gave to the Clergyman $200' in addition to our assessment of $400, and when wc sent in $160 the Mission received in addition $190, $10 less than when the Mission prospered. Now wo happily can afford to send in regularly every quarter an annual assessment of $200, and receive from the Board only $150 besides. The English population has not in- creased as much as would have been desirable, still we havo to struggle hard to keep our ground. From among the French a few more have joined our ranks. We now number among them 15 communicants. The attend- ance on the public services of the Church has materially improved, and there appears to be greater reverence and devotion. 40 There arc several reasons for us to raise our hearts with gratitude and thankfulness to the giver of all good things in the progi'css of our Mission. For liino years we had been obliged to make use of God's house without its being consecrated. This year, the debt having been liquidated, it was solemnly dedicated to Almighty God on April 25th, St. Mark's day, and called St. Mark's Church. This is a matter of great thankfulness to us all. On the organ which was purchased last year there was a debt remaining; this was kindly cancelled by the munificence of Thomas Maefarlano, Esq., who gave $75 for that purpose. The only remaining debt that encounters our Mission is $150, the balance duo on Parsonage to Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, and is payable in three yearly instalments. The following is a statement of our finances, Income. On hand Nov. 30, 1872 $ 60.28 Offertory Collections 178.80 Subscriptions 225.02 Amount realized by sale of old Mclodeon ... 50 . 00 Gift of T.

Thankfully, then, can I look on the past, and with bright liopcs to the future of this Mission. The Psalmist tells us: " The people shall bo willing in the day of thy power." God grant that it may bo so, not only with this Mission, but with all others in the Diocese. Louis C. Wurtele. COOKSHIRE, EATON. Immigration has not added to the members of this Congre- gation ; wherever property has changed hands it has not increased the number of our communion, so that, as hitherto, the claims of the Church have to be mot by a limited number of families. I am happy to be able to report good Church attendance and a disposition on the part of the congregation 41 to do what thoy can to meet the various calls which are made upon them for Church purposes. Of Island Brook, a comparatively new settlement, I can speak with strong hope. This is a progressively increasing congregation, and has received regular Church Services every second Sunday during the past year. Here the Church is daily gaining ground. Marked improvement is discerned in the deportment of the members, who are zealously devoted to our services. Though only numbering eleven familien, they have delivered a share of lumber and contracted for the erec- tion of the framework of a Church. The plan of a building supplied by Mr. W. Bailey, one of the residents, was submitted to the Bishop last winter, and at His Lordship's suggestion some moditications were made, which will render the building a Churchliko edifice. I visited Ditton last June for the purpose of baptizing five children, English and Norwegian, and held two services. The happy relation which existed between the Norwegians and the Anglican Church was somewhat disturbed by the visit of a Lutheran clergyman about eighteen months ago, who cavilled as to the orthodoxy of our teaching and pre- vented several of the 3'oung people from presenting them- selves to our Bishop for confirmation, at the same time alienating the atfections of all. This, I am happy to say, is recuperating, and I have reason to hope that by timely efforts a healthy Mission may be formed in Ditton, combining the Norwegian and Englisli speaking population. Strenuous exertions arc being made by the Wesleyans to induce our people to join them, and in the absence of any re- gular Church ministrations, it can scarcely be wondered at if wo lose our hold upon these people.

Though I have every reason to believe that the Church in this Mission is gradually making her way into the homes and hearts of the people, and that as the inner beauty of her service is opened and explained less prejudice is manifested against her forms and ceremonies. Yet, as compared with the work to be done, the progress made during the past year seems very small. It must be admitted that here, as else- where, there are drawbacks wiiich weigh heavily on him who has the oversight of the Flock, and to whom is committed tho responsible charge, the care of souls : this must over be the case where there is oven one whoso life does not comport with the teaching of God's word and with what becomes a member of Christ, child of God and heir of Heaven ; and the weight is heavier in view of the great number of spiritually careless and callous ones who are only too ready to offer the inconsistent lives of professed members of the Church as an excuse for their own, but the general state of the parish affords cause for thankfulness to Almighty God. The regular services have been as follows : Every Sunday and chief holiday at St. James', Hatley, and St. John's, A\aterville. Every other Sunday evening at the Village of West Hatley. during the earlier part of the year divine service was held on the alternate Sunday evening at the Compton poor farm, a home for the poor and aged, since removed to Compton village, and every other Friday evening at South Barnston, about nine miles distant. In St. James', East Hatley, the attendance and attention during divine service have been generally exemplary, the 43 ■members of the choir, the organists especially, meritoriously unremitting in the discharge of their volantriry tlu ties. The Congregation of St. John's, Waterville, has had to mourn the loss of one who for many 3'ears has acted as organist and choir leauer, a worthy daughter of a worthy father; a loss here almost irre])aral)le. In February a p^i"^''^' entertainment was given for the benefit of the Sunday-school and Church, when, owing to thc' l)raiseworthy eiforts of the ladies of ITatley and thc kindly interest and generosity shown hy our good friends of Len- noxville, Sherbooko, Compton and elsewhere, the sum of 8150 was realized. I would hero express, on behalf of the Mission, our warmest thanks to some kind and benevolent ladies in England, tho Misses Tolson and friends, for a large parcel of very useful articles in the shape of wearing ap])arel intended for the- poor, made many of them by little children under ten years of ago. In June the Bishop of thc Diocese held confirmation in Ilatley and Watcrville, when twenty candidates received this apostolic rite, two adults having been just previously baptized,. This visit of his Lordship, the more welcome accompanied as lie was by Mrs. "Williams, as also a later one very kindly made, wore duly appreciated by the people. In August the Sunday-school children of Ilatley and Watcrville held a joint Festival on the shore of Lake Massa- wippi, when 70 children and nearly as many adults spent a most enjoyable da3\ This bringing together young and old from the extremes of the Mission cannot, I think, but have a beneficial effect. In re])ly to an application endorsed by the Bishop, the S. P. C. K., with characteristic generosity, made us a very- liberal grant of Books for two Sunday-school Libraries^ a thing very much needed. On Sunday afternoon, whilst I am doing duty elsewhere, Mr. Proctor, principal of the academy, has c Bible class, which, as he is capable of doing, he makes most interesting, and which is the means of doing much good. The Holy communion has been celebrated once a month at St. James', Hatley, and at St. John's, Watcrville, and a few times privately. And here I am happy to say that my hope expressed last year has been realized. The average number of those who have availed themselves of this blessed means or grace has, during the past year, doubled, nor is this increase- owing entirely to the number recently confirmed. 44 Tho people have, upon the whole, responded liberally to the calls made upon them. Two years j.go they contributed $150 towards the support of the Church, to-day they give $275, with a promise of an increase, if possible, next year. A system of parochial visitation has been regularly carried ■on. Services during tho year, 170 ; Baptisms, 28 ; Marriages, 5 ; Burials, 8 ; Eecorded Parochial visits, 632.

J. Balfour. BURY. ■ I would begin by recording the outward aspect of the •Church in this Mission as compared ^vith last j'car. The new chancel of St. Paul's, tho village Church, has been completed, and the whole Church, with the exception of the west window, has been fitted with a very beautiful set of stained windows. The whole exterior of the building has also been cla})-boarded and painted. Tn a V70rd, the Church, externally and internally, is now an •object of beauty, and worthy of tho name of a Church. In Lingwick, too, the Church has been to a great extent overhauled and repaired ; indeed, a few more dollars judiciously expended in tho Spring will obviate the danger of premature decay. The attendance at Church in St. Paul's, though equal to the average, is not wh»L your missionary would desire to make it, a stormy day exerting a very noticeable influence 45. npon the gonorul attendance, but thus it must ever bo until wo can build a shed for the horses of those that come from a distance. 1 trust another summer may remedy this serious defect. The collections in this Cliurch, 8t. Paul's, have exceeded the average, a fact which, under adverse circumstances, I am happy to be able to record. I must also add that the contributions to the Diocesan Board by this congregation liave been cheerfully and punc- tually paid, while the same station of St. Paul's, at once, without question or delay, through my energetic Church-AV^ardeL, ^Ir. Lemuel Pope, entered into the stipulated agreement with the Diocesan Board for the coming two years. The attendance at St. Thomas has been fair. There are at jjrcsent three Sunday-schools in operation in this Mission, witli a lolul of about 75 scholars, at one of which, St. Paul's, I am only habitually present. An occasional visit to the other, however, reveals tho cheering fact that my follow labourer's work is not in vain. A Bible Class once a week ir tlio Parsonage completes tho routine of duty. I have to lament tho loss, through removal, of my earnest co-labourer, Lieut.-Colonel Fitzgerald, who in tho capacity of Lay-Eeader carried on tho work of the Church in Lingwick on alternate Sundays with myself, and not only in Church but at the hearths and homes of all interested in the Church, liis cheerful, earnest voice was heard in kindly social converse, as well as in humble prayer. This little community, consisting of but a few families, have manfully struggled to maintain the services of the Church to which they belong, and to which they fondly cling, in spite of their gradually decreasing numbers and death. St. John's has, I regret to say, been closed. I am happy to say, however, that a portion of this Congre- gation come to the village Church, which is by no means beyond their reach. That in the course of the past year w^o have met with trials and reverses I cannot d(yiy. May tho uniting influence of the Holy Spirit be more abun- dantly shed in our midst. James Boydell. DUDSWELL. In reviewing my work in this Mission during the past twelve months, I have cause for thankfulness. My health, which was so badly broken down last year, has this year so 46 hold out that, notwithstanding tho severe cold and heavy roads, I had scarcely one failure in all my Sunday appoint- ments, which involve two full services and from twelve to twenty miles of travelling. The general attendance at all my out-stations has been regular and good, except South Ham, which was reported last year as almost depopulated of Church people, in conse- quence of the steady influx of French colonists. My Sunday-schools, five in number, I have maintained in as good a state of efficiency as I could during tho past bammer. They all number 112 children, and are taught by 14 teachers. I have distributed during the year 100 additional Prayer- books, a few to raemberg of the different Congregations, the rest among the Sunday-schools. Those who have the advaii tage of more compact populations and more means can scarcely appreciate tho difficulties that besot the Sunday- school effort in such a Mission as this, with its scallorcd inhabitants. Our Church model school has been kept in very good efficient operation during the year. Tho entire number that passed through tho school was 55; five of them were French, who came for tho purpose of learning English. I have succeed- ing in adding to tho School a largo porch, which serves for a cloak room, and a largo addition to the rear for a class- room and ward-house, making the whole establishment 80 foot in length. Our School has already sent out two elemen- tary school teachers, and five more are preparing, two of those for model school diplomas. When we got a bell i)laced in our turret wo shall then probably have tho most complete educational establishment of its kind in the Eastern Town- ships. The School is oponed with singing, bible reading and prayer, and we hope byc-and-bye to take up every subject that the bearer of Model School Diplomas of tho McGill Normal School is qualified to teach. Wo had three very successful missionary meetings last January, at whioh good speeches were made by the Kcvds. Messrs. Roo, Thompson and Boydell. These meetings are looked forward to by our people with interest, and do good. I always feel thankful to my brethren of the Clergy fbr the valuable services rendered on theso occasions, we had a very successful Christmas Tree and a Santa Claus at tho time of these missionary meetings, for the Sunday-pchool children, and we are now preparing for another to come off this week. I hope to present to the I 47 Bishop this wook a very rospoctublo class for confirmation in point of number, and generally as to preparation. The members of this class to a largo extent I have been obliged to visit individually at their own houses, And the work has involved an amount of special travelling approaching nearly to 1000 miles. I must not omit the mention of a throe days' visit of the Lord Bishop to this Mission, in June last. His Lordship very kindly placed himself for the most part at my disposal, and wo spent tho time in visiting from house to house, giving parti- cular attention to tho sick and the aged, his Lordship hold- ing service with preaching at Borao ono of tho School-nouses or at the Church every evening. This visit of tho Bishop was most thankfully received everywhere, and it strongthenod my hands for my work not a little, and I cannot refrain from expressing a hope that his Lordship may again find timo for such a visit. My financial statement is as follows : Contributions to General Fund of Society... $ 14.70 Christmas Tree 20.00 Boxes (missionary) 3.67 Synod Assessment..... 4.00 Diocesan Board Assessment 150.00 For salary and Board of Model S.

L. Chapman. MAGO"!. Magog is a bustling little village at tho outlet of Magog lake, has a picturesque locality, aiid is destined, from its great water power, to increase. The inhabitants are chiefly American in origin, and of every shade of religious senti- ment. There are three Churches, French, English, and a Protestant Union. The last is now solely occupied by the Methodists, who have a strong hold on the surrounding dis- trict, and in the village are equal, perhaps, with ourselves in number. Our Church is a very pretty and symmetrical odifico, standing in the centre of the village, newly built and chastely finished by the creditable industry of the Rev. Mr. 48 "VValtorfl. It lacks a toworaml stooplo, and is not yot onclosod. Our adherents consist of fourteen liamilies, with n few indivi- dnuls; but the Church is libornlly aided, and more or lesB attended, by tlio Protestants indiscriminately. Wo have a cabinet organ andasnuill choir, consisting chiefly of a Cliureh family. Our Sunday-school numbers twenty-two; an the children are generally without pai'ontal control, they go to and fro at ])lea8uro. We have two regular services and monthly communion. The Congregation fluctuates between thirty and seventy, ]iorha])w an average of thirty-five. Herewith you will receive your blank return filled up with the various sums collected hero for Church purposes since 1 came into the charge in July last. I have entered for the Diocesan Board oidy the sum collected hero. The whole assessment is §200, of which the Jiishop lias kindly paid ^tO, and Jiov. Mr. Walters ^25. Mr. Walters has given notice that liis name be withdrawn, and his Lordship cannot be expected to continue his. It will bo absolutely necessary ibr the I3oard to reduce the assessment on this weak Congre- gation. I see by the tabular report in last Journal of Hynod some G5 families, if J remember well, here belonging to our Church; I find only 14 adherents, not all members. There is a debt on the organ of $100. From the offertory and net proceeds of a social wo have about one-half of this in hand. Wo had to repair the foundation of tlio Church at a cost of ."^25. A. Balfour. CAPE COVE. During the year, the close of which, by God's morcj', wo have been permitted to roach, little worth3M)f special mention has occurred in this Mission. The usual services have boon held, and the attendance has been equal to, though not greater than, that of former years. However, I am thankful to say the number of communicants, especially at Easter, has been larger than ever before. Our two Sunday aiid throo day schools have boon in full operation, and have shown satisfuctor}'- results. Last winter the people of Cape Covo contributed over ten thousand feet of boards for the new Church ; within the year they have also paid £50 towards the Building Fund. This winter we hope to get out the frame. To the kindness of the Rev. II. Eoe we are indebted for a valuable set of plans, which have been aijproved of by our building committoo, and which, when fully carried out, will insure to us a handsome and convenient Church. 49 Tho people two for tho iuomI part uh willing and ^onerous us ever ; but it must bo conl'easecl tliut tho large aHwe.sHment paid to the Dioce.san Board, tho school tax, and the contribu- tions iii money and material towards the intended Church, when taken together, prosa heavily on our Hmall and by no meanH wealthy Congregation. The allairw of our Congrega- tion ttt i'erce call for no particular mention ; excej)t when hindered by stormn or impasHablo roads, Horvices there, as well as hero, have been regularly held an('. woU attended.

MALUAIEJ' , The interest in Church matters hero has, I regret to ?ay, flagged a little, following (he habits induced by the education of the fisherman, — that of spasmodic otl'ort. Our Sunday-schools are unsatisfactory, and not easy of remedy. We have, however, three day-schools whore tho Biblo and catechism are taught, thanks, in a great measure, to the Colonial and Continental Church Society's conditions of grant. An endowment fund was started last Easter, and $200 on account thereof paid into the hands of the Treasurer of tho Church Society's Fund. A bazaar, of humblo pretensions, was, in spite of adverse circumstances, sot on foot, which is not yet finished. Its few projectors and workers deserve great praise. Last spring Mr. Adolphus CoUas organized a concert and entertainment in aid of tho Church Funds, which realized $37. Thcro have been no alterations in the Church, nor repairs of Parsonage and barn this year, although part of tho wood required was subscribed during the winter. Operations are contemplated next summer. For tho Parsonage this is absolutely necessary'. Our excellent Church-Wardens, Messrs. LoGrcsley and Le(iros, merit tho best thanks of the Mission for their zeal and energy in all matters pertaining to their office, not always an agreeable one. I would also record my obligations to Mr. John LeGrcsley, of Bcllc Anse, for the use of a horse during tho winter, and boat in summer, till my own was ready. To him, I have boon mainly indebted for assistance in my long journeys. Tho Messrs. Buckley, of Barachois, deserve great praise for indispensable services in building my boat. • $29.24 forwarded to the Treasurer of the Chu'ch S'ciety t'«o late to l)!* catered in this yeai'3 accounts. 4 I 0> 50 ii a h{ h£ he fe'i' to be. da- sat the i the 1 Wll Re' wh: f wh: j and Assessment and Endowment Fund $ 204.00 Pew Eonts 104.8^^ Proceeds of Concert 37.0 Offertory 20.50 Collected by Miss Alexander 7.40 Wood, for repairs 20.00 Do. for Fuel 25.00 ^418.70 Corner of Beach. — One end of the little Chapel has heeii ceiled, and next year I trust to bo able to report that tho whole has been finished and painted.

The Churches in this Mission have been regularly served, excepting during tho time I was absent from tho Mission, in the month of July. During tho past year several persons have left this Mission and gone to tho Province of Ontario. No new settlers have arrived to take their place and fill up the vacancies in our ranks. In tho month of February a mooting was held and steps taken to secure funds to build a new Church at the Basin, to replace St. Paul's Church. The meeting was well attended, and the call for funds responded to by a subscription on the spot of $500, payable in four instalments ; one as soon a& the new building is framed ; two when it is covered in ; and the last when it is ready for use. From a knowledge of the circumstances of most of the Congregation, I am sure I can safely say that the promised contributions cannot be paid. 99. without great self-denial on the part of the contributors, especially when all feel the necessity of curtailing expenditure in order to make both ends meet, owing to the pa^t season, which was far from being as productive as former ones. The promised contributions, together with the amount already received and promised by liberal Churchmen in Quebec and elsewhere, amounting to about $400, have been handsomely supplemented by the proceeds of a Bazaar, $688, hold last autumn by the ladies of the Congregation of St. Paul's Church in aid of the new Church ^'nlding Fund. I hope the sittings in the new Church will be free ; at all events that the pews will not pass out of the hands of the Corporation and become freeholds hold by private persons. The present pew system is a great hindrance to progress in this Mission, It creates distractions in the House of God ; it forms a plea for young men refusijig to contribute because they are not pcvv-holders and have no voice in Church matters.

The schools in this part of my Mis«ion, in the Township of York, the want of which I have so often pointed out, have been organized. The school in the Grant settlement has been fortunate in securing aid 53 from the C, and C. C. and S. Society. The people are de«erving, and without the opportune assistance of the Society they could not have retained their teacher. The Schools in the Township of Gaspe Bay South, and in the Village of Gaap^, are hoth filled by competent teachers. I have no doubt the Eev. W. G. Lyster's appointment to the office of School Inspector of Protestant schools in the District of Ga8p6 will be very beneficial to the cause of educa- tion, as the Clergy of the district can woi'k cordially with him^ and the Commissioners will value his suggestions.

It is with the deepest thankfulness to the great head of the- Church that I am able to report anything like real progress in work for Christ in this part of this lonely coast. Since I came here, seven months ago, I have baptised 21 ;. buried 3 ; and married 2. I have three Churches and one School-house where services; are held, there being about thirty miles distance between the first and last station. Hy services Are as follows : Sundays : 3 services. All Holy days: morning prayer, or Litany.* Wednesday and Friday : Evening prayer and Bible class. These services are always well attended. Most of the inhabitants are very poor, still they ai*e willing to do their utmost for the Church, and to do that cheerfully. I may be allowed here to acknowledge the generous offer- tory in November last, of St. Matthew's, Quebec, for altar vessels for this poor mission; also, a Sunday-school oft'ertory and a sum of money from the Young Women's Guild of the same Church, for books for my three Sunday-schools. Messrs. Chas. Robin & Co. subscribed liberally towards the harmonium recently bought. To all who have aided us by • The Missionary being a deacon. 54 their gifts or by thoir prayers, 1 desire to render my grateful thanks.

This has induced me to make an effort to build a small Church here. Indeed, if we hope to win back those who have left us, if we wish to retain in the True Fold those who yet refuse to listen to the voice of the stranger, this is an actual necessity. Among the thousands who read this report, whom God has blessed Mnth plenty, are there none willing to give us a heljiing hand, trusting to Jesus for their reward? Are there none who love God and His Holy Church enough to aid me, even with the fragments from their abundance, in building here a small Church for Christ's poor. H. C. Stuart. SANDY BEACH. I again submit, at the close of the year, the customary statement of the progress and position of this Mission. So smooth and uninterrupted has been our course during the past year that I have but scant materials from which 55 to frarao a report. With thanksgiving and gratitude I record that I have been permitted, with scarcely any interruption from ill-health or accident, to carry on the usual work of the Mission ; and the people committed to my charge have, as heretofore, attended to the ministration of the word and ordinances constantly and attentively. Thus the good seed has been sown, and I trust that the Lord of the harvest is blessing His own Word, to the edification of His peoplo individually, and to the confirmation of His Church here. I hold now a monthly celebration of the Lord's Supper, with an average attendance of forty. No striking incidents have occurred, but I think I have good reason to conclude that the inner life of the Spirit is becoming more deep, earnest and decided in not a few. In the latter part of tiic summer we were cheered by the visit of the ilov. H. lioe, who ably set forth to us the respon- sibilities, resources and claims of the Diocesan Board. Gladly would the people of this Mission respond to the aj^peal ; the will gi'oatly to increase tlioir contributions is not wan'.ing, but their ability does not respond to their will. Tliey have, Jiowovcr, promised to take the matter into consideration in the meeting of the Vestry, •which occurs on tlie first Moiulay in the New Year, and they will then honestly try if they can do anything more; but 1 am not sanguine of any favonraljlc result accruing. The contributions for Churcli pui'|)Osos in the Mission somewhat exceeded §400, The several items I have submitted to his Lordship the Bishop in the statistical return made to him. A generous member of the congregation has offered to give $50 to increase our Endowment Fund, on the condition that another $50 bo contributed for the same ])urpose by the Congregation; that condition is now nearly fulfilled, and I trust that it. will bo completely so by New Year's day, and that the $100 will then be added to our Fund. Though slowly, yet that pro- vision for the future is advancing to a state of efficiency. The baptisms during the year were 6 ; marriages, 3 ; burials, 4. I may renvark, that never since I came hero where there so few baptisms, the average number hitherto being about 20. The season closes with us in peace and harmony one with another, and in charity with all. Though little superfluity has ftillen to our lot, yet our wants are all supplied and wo have some little to spare to the more destitute. When we look back, then, we thank our Lord for the goodness and mercy which have followed us through all the days of the old year, t i ii and we Bhall enter upon the New not knowing what it shall bring as, but calmly trusting in the same goodness and mercy.

Tho new Mission of Bronipton and Windsor, which has been under tlie fostering wing of this parish for the last throe years, became a separate Mission under the Diocesan Board on Advent Sunday. On that day Mr. Louis Olivier Armstrong entered upon his duties as resident missionary, in charge of the Townships of Brompton and Windsor, Mr. Armstrong came to us immediately from the Diocese of Montreal, but was previously trained in Mission work under the Rev. Principal Brock, in tho Diocese of Huron. Mr. Armstrong received a very warm welcome from his new flock, who justly anticipate the happiest results from his zealous, loving spirit and his unwcariednoss in work for the good of souls. We had all hoped that the Ecv. Isaac Tliomp- son, who has had the chief charge of Brompton and Windsor from the first, would retain the Mission, tiiroughout which he was both beloved and appreciated. Tho want of a Parson- age, however, was felt by him to be an insuperable obstacle. The services have been kept up in Christ Church, Brompton, and in AVindsor Village, regularly every Sunday, and in a large portion of the year at tho Powder Mills. Services have also been hold at Hardwood Hill and Brompton Palls. The Sunday-schools have been maintained; but have languished, as they always must where thoy lack the per- sonal superintendence of the pastor. Now, doubtless, the}' will become very efficient. A class of candidates for confirmation was under instruction by Mr. Thompson, in Brompton and Windsor, during the summer. These he hoped to present to tho Bishop before the close of the year; unfortunately, a bilious fever, the result of a violent cold, laid Mr. Thompson ■up for three months, so that ho is obliged to hand over tho class to his successor. Brompton has from the beginning been paying an assess- ment of $100 a year ; Windsor began this year to pay $')0. I need not say what a satisfaction it is to mo to see this new Mission permanently established under such hopeful auspices. May the blessing of God rest upon it for ever. In Bichmond and Melbourne the meetings for prayer and religious conference, of which I spoke in my last report as having been begun last year, were continued during the Avinter, and met with a fair measure of success. At St. Johns and Silver's they were largely attended ; at St. Ann's rather meagrely. Of the benefit of such meetings to the spiritual well-being of a parish I am thoroughly satisfied. The diffi- ■culty is to persuade the devout lay members of the Church to take any active part in them. k Y 'V 59 ft y Tho annual confirmation was hold in St. Ann's for the whole parish on the 25th June, when 17Vere confirmed from St. Ann's; 10 from St. John's; and one from Silver's. On the afternoon of the same day the Bishop confirmed, privately, an aged couple at Silver's ; and on the previous evening an invalid young man in tho village of Melbourne. These two latter services were extremely interesting and aft'ccting. The aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. Lcgrand Barlow, were two of the original settlers of the country, who had borne in their youth hardships and toils now almost incredible, their taken as a matter of course. They had been under mj' instruction, one for baptism, both for confirmation and Holy communion, for a long time. Some months previously, after a long scries of visits, and at tho beginning of the illness which proved his last, Mr. Barlow signified to me, in words peculiarl}' comfort- ing, his desire to become a member of the Church. Some days after his aged partner joined in the same request. Tho Bishop wlllingl}' consented to go out and hoUl a special service in their house. The dear old man was on his dying bed; his aged partner, tremulous with years and agitation, by his side ; their cliildrcn and grand-children, were gathered around them, togotlior with the friends and neighbors of a life time. Mrs. JJarlow was baptized ; both received tl.c laying-on of hands; and the IIol}' communion was adi'iinis- tered to them, their children and friends. It was a service which will long be remembered by those who were present at it. Mr. Barlow did not long survive this service. He had witliin a few j'cars been tAvice bereaved of children in an afllicting manner; and now once more before his de2)ar- tnre he Avas called npon to bear up under a bereavement peculiarly severe. One of his daughters, a truly excellent woman, and mother of a largo family, was taken away a few weeks before him ; and on the very morning of his decease a very dear grandchild, after a short illness, died before his eyes. No less touching and beautiful was the confirmation and admission to Holy communion of a young man on the pre- vious evening in the village of Melbourne. He had been for many months confined to his bed, a wasting sickness wearing out his young life. Through it ho had been nursed with infinite tenderness by his mother; but a few weeks before his confirmation a sharp attack of disease carried her oif from him suddenly, and in a manner to him most painful; his mother dying up stairs, and he too ill to be carried up to receive her dying blessing. Lying on his couch ho received the long-coveted gifts of the laying-on of hands and 60 the Holy communion of the Body and Blood of Christ ; and fitrengthonod and refreshed thereby, he still bears bravely up under the weight of his cross. It ie in cases such as thcne that one learns to know, by experience, how true the saying is that •' whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth." In September last I resigned the parish of Biuhmond and Melbourne, and have since held the charge of it only till my Buccessor could be appointed. At the close of an incumbency of six years, I may, I think, usefully say something of the growth and progress of tho Mission during those j'oars, espe- cially in a financial point of view. In January, 1872, the Mission ceased to bo connected with the Diocesan Board, and assumed tho responsibility of paying the entire salary of their Clergyman, namely, $G00 a year. At the Easter Vestry meeting of this year, 1873, the Congre- gation was pleased to increase that stipend to 01OUO a year. This movement was gratifying to mo, from tho testimony it bore to the sense of strength and self-confidence in the Con- gregation. A Congregation substantially the same, certainly not financially stronger, had grown in six years from feeling able to pay towards their Clergyman's support $200 a year, to feel able and willing to pay $1000 a year. During tho same period, the contributions to the Church Society, i.e., tho missionary contributions of the Congregation, had grown from nil to $200 a vear. St. John's Church, Melbourne, during the same period, grew from an assessment of $50 a year to $120. But to show what our people could do, if they had but the heart, I may mention that the Congregation of St. John's Church, being anxious to retain permanently tho services of the Rev. I. Thompson, raised among themselves, in two days, a permanent subscrip- tion of$300ayear, tho whole of which would undoubtedly have been paid if the project had been cairried into effect. Let these facts be pondered by those who cling so tena- ciously to the missionary money which this Diocese still, to its reproach, receives from the Society for the Propaga- tion of tho Gospel ; they present but a specimen of wliAt many of our older Missions are capable of doing. During the past six years there have been corfinncd in this Parish, not including Brompton and Windsor, 126 persons. Most of them have become communicants. The communicants now number in St. Ann's, 177 ; i,n St. John's, 59 ; Silver's, 20. Total 256. b ■ • > ■« I 61 Numl:)or of children in Sunday-school: St. Ann's, 117; St. John's, 57; Silver'w, 200. During my incumbency wo have lost by removals, with- drawals and death, from St. Ann's Congregation, as it stood when I came here, 15 families and 10 single persons who con tributed materially to our funds. Wo have gained by immi- gration 14 similar families and 3 single persons. Our losses and gains about balance one another. Thus our progress is not seeming, but real and substantial. In bidding farewell to the Parish of Itichmond and Mel- bourne, 1 must express the deep obligations which both the parish and myself are under to the largo body of fellow-helper.-* who have worked with me, from tirst to last, as Church ♦Society collectors, as members of the various choirs, a^ Sunday-school teachers, and especially as Church- Wardens. To the ability and zeal of Mr. IJobert Frascr, deputy superin- tendent of St. John's Sunday-school, the success of that school is largely duo. The Wardens of St. John's Church have all along been thoroughly efficient ; the two waixlens whom 1 have in office there, Messrs. Buet and McKee, espe- cially BO. The Church- Wardens of St. Ann's, Messrs. Wray and Journeaux, have had a very arduous task in connexion with the rapid increase of the permanent charges upon the funds of the parish. To Mr. Journeaux I owe thanks for a thousand kind offices ; while Mr. Wray has been simply inde- fatigable. He has the satisfaction of having the parish free from debt and its finances in a thoroughly healthy condition. To Mr. Wray the Congregation of St. Ann's owe a debt of gratitude for services such as few Church-Wardens have ever rendered. Contributions for Church purposes during the year 1873.

SIIERimOOKE. I was inducted to the Joint Incumbency of this Parish by the Eight liovcrend the Lord Bishop of (Quebec on Friday, 27th Juno, 1873, and ])reachcd my tirst sermon in my new (sphere of labour on the Sunday foUoM'ing, which was St. Peter's Day, from the second Lesson lor the morning, St. John xxr., 15, 17. On tha;, occasion I made the following remarks, which this report enables mo to put on record : " I am truly glad of the arrangement which the Bishop has made, by which your valued liector, who has laboured amongst you so long and so devotedly, retains his position as liector of this parish. I am glad for your sake and his, that tho tics which have united you as jiastor and people for 20 years aro not going to bo severed by my coming amongst you. 1 am glad, too, for my sake that ihis an-angoment has boon made, inasmuch as I shall have in consequence the advantage of his counsel and advice in working the parish; and also tho bcnetit of whatever share he may wish to take in tho public ministrations of the sanctuary, and tho parochial work of this growing town." From tho above romaj'ks it will appear that tho resignation of tho Eov. C. P. lleid, which lie announced in tho last Report of the Church Society, has not been carried into effect, Tho parish and myself aro thankful it has not. I have not yet quite completed a systematic visitation of all the Church people connected with St. Peter's Church. Some families, living from four to seven miles from the town, I have not yet seen. So far as I have visited during the past five months, I have seen 232 Church families i A : C3 in and immcdiatoly ftround Shorbrooko, roproHontin^ a Church population of about 1060. Of tho above families between 20 and 30 have come from England or Ireland within tho lant two years. Several familioB belonging to tho Church, from Kent an- Sonorsetshiri , have come within tho last two months. It is a great ->ity that they shouhl como out at this season of tho yeiir, wh)u work is scarce and our long winter is setting in. Muny ladies in the town have been kindly providing warm clo .-ing fc, our newly-arrived Kiiglish children, most of whom ore not ' all prepared for our ^ero frosts. Alroaily wo have had ti ■. )loa8uro of welcoming several of these emigrants an' t'leir childrc^ to our Church and Sunday-school. One Ej gli. u mother only six weeks in Sherbrooko said to me it f? jcmod so like homo in Ch oh when mIio found wo woro using, not only tho same .Cruder IJook, l)ut tho same Hymn Hook also, llymns Ancient and Modern. Additional accommodation has lately been pro- vided in our Church by placing open seats up our centre aisle. Tho Sunday-school is in good working order. There aro about 150 children on tho roll, with an average attendance of about 120. There is a superintendent who acts also as librarian, and 15 teachers. I nni not wrong in saying that all, superintendent and tcacliers, aro really interested in tho important work Jt y are doing for Christ's Church. Wo have used since ;,V o first Sunday in August last tho admi- rable ]»aper of Sunday-school teaching, prejiared under tho direction of the ]?ev. II. Holland, of St. C.itheriiui's, Ont. Teachers, pai\.iits, and children like it. It ensures systematic and uni^'oT !u teaching, and enables the Clergyman at any time to catechize his whole Sunday-school in the Lessons which are being taught. 1 meet the teachers at my house every three weeks for the purpose of going through tho Lessons, and imparting other instruction. Besides the Sun- day-school, I liave opened since the close of the Confirmation Class, a Bible Class, Avhich meets in the Church at the samo hour as tho Sunday-school. The attendance is seldom under HO, of whom about 20 aro young men and youths who have lately left tho Sunday-school. I conduct tho Bible class myself, tho instruction is catechetical, and questions to answer in writing are also given. On Saturday, November 8, The Right Reverend tho Lord Bishop of tho Diocese held a Confirmation in our Church ; at which 45 persons were confirmed, 26 Females, and 19 Males. On the following Sunday tho Bishop preached, both morning 64 and evening, to large and interested congregations. In the morning he administered the Holy Communion to 147 per- sons, 43 of whom had been confirmed on the previous day. Three weeks later, on Advent Sunday, we again had a celebra- tion of the Holy Eucharist; the day was one of intense cold, hence the Congregation was not as large as usual ; there wore, however, 1)1 communicants, amongst whom w^ore again many of the newly-confirmed. The preparation class for confirmation extended over eleven weeks : it was held in the Church on Sunday afternoon, after the close of Sunday-school, and was open to any who wished to attend. From 100 to 150 persons, besides the candidates, availed themselves of the opportunity of instruction in the first principles of Christianity and the Church. The subjects taken up were the following : — Confirmation ; Holy Baptism ; The Creed ; The Command- ments ; Prayer; The Holy Communion ; Episcopacy; Infant Baptism ; Forms of Prayer ; Our Church ; The Catholic Churchman. During the latter part of the course, sermons were preached on Sunday evening in St. Peter's Church on Ordination ; The Mind of our Lord Ecspecting Our Little Ones ; The Advantages of a Liturgy and the Excellencies of our Book of Common Prayer ; and The Church of England, Catho- lic and Protestant. Many from the modern Christian bodies came during this course of sermons, to listen to the claims of the ancient Church of God : I trust the seed has not been sown in vain. Several copies of the following able pam])hlots have lately been sold in the town. The late Bishop liandal's Lecture, "Why I am a Churchman'; " Southwell's " AVhich is the Church; " Thompson's •' First Principles." To any troubled with Universalism, Thomj)son's "Sin and its Penalty " will be found most useful. I ought to mention that on the occa- sion of the Bishop's visit in Xovcmbor wo changtul our Hymn Book, adopting, in accordance with a resolution of our Vcstiy, " Hymns Ancient and Modern." In addition to the services at the Church, which have been, as usual, by the Eev. C. P. Peid and myself, a service has been carried on throughout the year on Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, at the Eeformatory, by the Eev. C. P. Ecid. A Sunday-school class also has been kindly carried on in the afternoon at the Eeformatory by E. W. Henokor, Esq., who has lately been assisted in this woric by another layman in the town. The service and Sunday-school seem not only to have been appreciated by the boys, but also to have been protluctive of much good amongst tJiem. i ' c 65 The day school of the Colonial and Continental Church Society still continues its quiet and unobtrusive labours in this town ; many children not belonging to our Church are through its means receiving an education based on the Holy Scriptures. There are about 70 children on the roll, with an average attendance of about 40. The financial statement will be found appended below. I am happy to state that this year 25 new subscribers have joined our Diocesan Church Society. The total amount collected for the Church Society in Sherbrooke in the year ending December 1, 1873, is $357.40. In the year ending December 1, 1873, there have been 43 Baptisms, of these two were baptized as adults, and one was a case of hypothetical baptism ; there have been 10 marriages and 33 funerals.

Our offering to the Church Society this year, I am sorry to say, is very small, but the little that has been contributed is scat by willing hearts, who would like to give a great deal more were it in their power. The Indians in this village are now reduced to a very small number, and are, without exception, all poor. Their hunt, at a great distance from home, is a very uncertain source of income ; some years it is a complete failure. There is often an overstock of their fancy- work at places of resort, so as to reduce the prices very mate- rially. Agriculture is very little attended to ; the land being 5 66 of an inferior quality, it requires an outlay of money before it can be remunerative. Collections for Church purposes must necessarily be fluctuating under these adverse circum- stances. During the past year I am glad to report that the services of the Church have been well attended. The Sunday- school has also been in operation. The day school, taught by Miss Tucker, a pupil of Sabrevois, is progressing fairly. I have reason toTbeliove that our work is doing good to this forsaken people, in elevating them in their habits and leading them to accept Jesus as their Saviour. The following amount has been raised in the Mj^ssion. * Church Society, Mission Fund $ Cy.2b Collection for fuel 1G.50 Sunday Collections 15.00 $37.75 A. L. FoRTix. GEORGEVILLE. I am glad in being able to report that the year's progress has boon marked by some encouraging events. Amongst such, 1 may mention a sale of ladies' work during the oarly part of the winter, which was so far successful Ihat llie proceeds, increased as they wore b}^ some further contribu- tions during the summer, enabled us to pay off an instalment of the Church debt, amounting to $100. That formidable debt we have reduced from $1000 to $700. Chiefly through the kind assistance of a few friends, a neat and siin))le Pent has been placed in the Church within the last few months^ and already, since it came into use, in addition to sonic infants^ T have had the pleasure of admitting into the Church, by Holy Baptism, four adults. Of these, three were young lads who have been for some time attending the Sunday-school and receiving suitable instruction; the other was a married man, who till lately was little acquainted with the services of the Church, but has learned to prize them. Though we have lost during the year some of our people, owing to their removal to other places, still the average attendance at Church has })een maintained with increasing steadiness and regularity. Not only has the Sunday-school held its ground, but a number of now names have been lately added to the roll. During the early part of the year I had a promising » Received too Into for the iiiKortion of the names of subscribers in this year's report. f 67 f Bible-elass. This had to be discontinued, owin^ chiefly to the dispersion of the young people attending it, but soon I hope to have it again in operation. We wore favoured during the isunimer with a visit from his Lordship the Metropolitan, who kindly preached for us ou the Lord's Day. These few circumstances may, I think, be regarded as. affording ground for encouragement in a place where the Church has been so recently planted and has had to contend with so many difficulties. But you must not suppose that all our troubles are now at an end, there is still enough, and more than enough, to teach us humility and to try our faith. There is a dark side to our picture as well as a bright, and in connection with the dark side I cannot refrain from alluding to the great loss we have sustained in the departure of the Honorable Judge Day aiid his family. Indeed, this, loss is, l.foar, almost irreparable ; it has deprived this strug- gling Mission of its best and most liberal supporteri^, for to the Judge and Mrs. Day we had become accustomed to look in all our difficulties, ever sure of wise counsel and generotts aid. The universal regret felt in this neighbourhood, in consequence of their leaving, is the best testimoiiy to thelv sterling worth. Whilst grateful for the respect and kindness evi-iced towards mc personally by my neighbours, 1 have still to regret tliO prevailing backwardness to support the Church and her ministrations ; the anxiety arising from this cause is very depressing. F. A. S-;.nTH> ST. SYLVESTER. Divine Service has been maintained regularly during the year. An effort was made to jMiint St. Sylvester Church in- ternally and externally. I am happy to say that my people responded to the call in a most willing manner, and, aided by many kind friends in Quebec, the woi'khas been w*ell done. St. Giles. — There has been little interruption to the Services amidst this widely scattered people. It is with the greatest difficulty that our day-school is maintained. The Sunday- school can only bo open during the summer months. T.bu Church is in a rather bad state of repair, and sadly needs paint- ing. It is much to bo hoi)od that efforts will be made to put the building in a suitable condition. St. Patrick's. — This Congregation has suffered greatly from emigration, in fact a once flourishing school has been obligaJ 68 to be closed from want of memberH, and the Church Congre- gation has dwindled to a mere handful. -.- St. Catherine's and St. Margaret's.— Those two small Con- gregations worship together in the Church in the latter place ; as it forms the third service, and occupies not less than two hours to reach either from St. Patrick's or St. Sylvester, it necessarily makes the service late, so that returning to St. Catherine's it is frequently by torch-light, the Missionary in the centre, torches behind and torches before, and thus he is on the spot for Divine Service on the coming day. St. Mary's. — As a general rule I call in going and returning through the Kenneoec Valley. The visit of the Eishop was very greatly prized by this little flock. 6t. Joseph's.-- The last family left hero during the past year for the United States. 27 years ago it was a promising little Mission, now all our people have gone Westward. St. Francis. — The ** Gold Diggings" for the present are defunct. Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood and Mr. G. Chapman are the only remaining members of the Church. Here wo have no place to hold Service. Cumberland Mills. — This commodious Church has at last been painted. We have to thank our generous friend Mr. Eobcrt Hamilton and others for valuable assistance. Altar linen and blinds for the windows were kindly given by two widows. The Lord Bishop held confirmation in this Church on his recent visit. A school is very much needed here ; one was started, aided by the Church Society, Mr. E. Hamilton, and the Church and Continental Society, but unfortunately our teacher left us after a two months' residence. St. George. — His Lordship held a Confirmation in this Mission, when four candidates were presented. Township of Jersey. — This part of my extensive Mission is deprived of Services in the spring and fall from the flooding of the Eivers " Chaudiere" and " Du Loup." Kennebec Eoad. — Three visits have boon paid to the scattered members of the Church on this road. W. Kino. LENNOXVILLE. The following is the financial 8t{\tement of St. George's Church, Lennoxville, from the 8th of December, 1872, to the 30th November, 1873. 1 J' 69 1 Annual Subscription for the General Fund of the Church Society $ 108 50 Thanksgiving Collection for Widows' and Orphans' Funds 20.00 Collection for Bishop's College 18.00 Collection for the Poor, Christmas 29.62 Synod Assessment 8.00 Sunday offering to defray the Expenses of the Parish 614.81 $798 93 In addition to this amount new stops have been added to the organ, costing $250, and a furnace has been placed under the Church at an expense of $265, towards which the sum of $170 has already been contributed, making the whole amount received in the Parish for Church purposes for the year ending December Ist, $1218.93. In the ordinary routine of parish work it is seldom that there is anything new or startling to be recorded. Morning and Evening Services have been regularly held in the Church throughout the year, with Sunday-school in the afternoon. The Holy Communion has been duly celebrated once a fort- night, with no diminution in the number of communicamts.. The rite of Contirmation was administered by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese in the month of March, when thirty-five can- didates were presented for the blessing of the laying-oa o£ hands. The Sacrament of Holy Baptism has been administered'to" 39 children and 3 adults. There have been 3 marriages and 11 burials. During the year a lervice has been regularly held near Mr. Darby's, on the Eaton road, and also at the Chapel Mines, by F. C. Emberson, Esq., of Bishop's College, assisted by the students of the College. Mr. Emberson having ojjened a Mission Station at the Hyatt School House, gives up the Mines, and in the future it is proposed that services shall be held there and at various points in the parish by the Divinity Students, under the direction of the Reverend the Professor of Divinity. A. Campbell Scauth. flO ANNUAL EETORT OF THE C L E lUi Y TRUST COMMITTEE, tVesented^toJthe Church Society at the Annual Meeting, February 4th, 1874. The Clergy Trust Committoo beg leave to report that all the interest arising from Investments have been paid. $2000 Montreal Harbour, and 8400 London Debentures, liAve been paid oft' since last year, and $3000 have been invested in Montreal Harbour Bonds at 99 per cent; all for ihe Clergy Trust Account, bearing Gh per cent interest. NEW ENDOWMENTS. Three new Local Endowments have boon formed during *.he year, viz : Malbaio and Vy,iu. St. Peter, Leeds, Kingsey. Your Committee hope to report several others before the expiration of the next year. The ladies of the Mission of Sandy Beach have added $100 to their Endowment, and a sum of one hundred and fifty-six dollars has also been forwarded from that Mission since the •close of the year. The good cxami)le thus shown ought 1o induce all Missions having Endowments to add to them yearly, in order that they may become available at as early a /late as possible for the purpose intended. The Committoo would again remind the different Missions of the great inducement hold out for forming Local Endow- ments, viz. : by ra'sing$200 a further sum of $150 is granted by the Church Society, and $20U more is added by a member ■of the Church in Quebec, and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel is also ''prepared to grant from its Colonial Church Endowment Fund a sum of £500 sterling in aid of Endowments of Clergy in the Diocese of Quebec, on condition that a sum of £2,500 sterling is raised before the 31st December, 1B75, from local sources to meet it, and that the whole is invested in securities, and on trusts approved by the Society." The gentleman before referred to has most gene- rously oftcred to grant a sum of $.300 each to seven poor Mis- sions * when they have raised $100 each to form Endowments. The whole resi^ectfully submitted. J. W. Quebec, Chairman of Clergy Trust Committee. M.
