RESIGNATION OF DR. MIDDLBMISS, ETC. Dr. Middlemiss here tendered his resignation of the Convenership of the Committee on the Fund for Aged and Infirm Ministers, and the resignation was accepted. It was thereupon moved by Mr. J. K. Macdonald, seconded by Dr. Reid, and unani- mously agreed, — That the Assembly desires, on the occasion of the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Middlemiss from the position of Chief Convener of the Committee on Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund (Western Section), to place on record its appreciation of his untiring devotion to the interest of the Fund, and tender to Mm the Assembly's thanks for the signal services rendered by him in connection therewit . REPORT ON RECORDS. The Assembly called for the Reports of the several Committees appointed at the first Sederunt to revise the records, respectively, of the General Asserab' ^nd of the several Synods. The Reports on the Record of the General Assembly, an^ m the Rec( -.'Is respectively, of the Synods of the Maritime Provinces, Montreal and Ottawa, Hamilton and London, and of Manitoba and the North- We»«t Territories, were handed in by Dr. Reid, and were stated to be uniformly of tl . same character, certifying that all the [mj THB PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IK CANADA. 47 Records of the judicatories above were carefully and correctly kept. The Reports were received and the Assembly ordered the several Records aforesaid to be attested in the usual form. RECORD — SYNOD OF TORONTO AND KINOUTON. Dr. Reid here stated that the Record of the Synod of Toronto and Kin^'ston had not reached the Assembly, but that from the well known punctuality of the Clerk of the said Synod, the book must have been delayed on the way. STATE OF RELIGION. The Assembly called for the Report on the State of Religion. Dr. MacNish, the Con- vener of the Committee on this subject, submitted and read the Report, which contained certain recommendations for adoption by the Assembly. The Report was received, thanks tendered to the Committee, and it vas agreed to consider its recommendations seriatim. The recommendations were considered one by one, and were severally adopted, and are as follows : — 1. That Presbyteries be instructed to continue their efforts for the purpose of secur- in$i: replies to the questions on the State of Religion from all the congregations within their bounds, and that stress be laid upon the propriety of having such questions fully considered by Sessions. 2. That the great importance of holdiner Family Worship be again earnestly impressed on the members and families of the Church. 3. That, inasmuch as there is in connection with the Church a large number above eighteen years of age who are not communicants, the attention of Sessions be directed to the necessity of impressing upon such persons the solemn responsibility which devolves upon them to make a public profession of their faith in the Son of God. 4. That inasmuch as it appears that the religious instruction of the young is in danger of being left in a large measure to the Sunday Schools, the value and responsibility per- taining to religious instruction in the home be earnestly impressed on parents. 5; That Presbyteries be recommended to prepare a Scheme of special services adapted to reach all congregations : ministers, elders and members to assist in conducting them. The Report was then adopted as a whole. EVANGELISTIC SERVICES. The Assembly called for the Report of the Committee to whom the memorial of Mr. James Bryant and the whole subject of Evangelistic Services were referred by the last General Assembly. Dr. Smith, the Convener, handed in and read a Report to the follow- ing purport : — 1. In the opinion of this Committee there is abundant evidence that in many instances much good has been accomplished by special services of an Evangelistic character, in which the central truths of the Gospel are continuously presented. Reports presented to Presbyteries, Synods and the General Assembly during a series of years seem to leave no doubt regarding this position. 2. The evidence presented on this subject appears further to show that such services should be conducted under the careful supervision of the Church, and not put under the direction of persons who are not connected with the Church, and subject to its authority, nor perhaps not in full accord with its teachings or in sympathy with its life. 3. The Committee believe that Evangelistic functions necessarily pertain to the office of the Ministry, and that every true preacher will faithfully open up and declare the way of Salvation, and deal with the unbelieving in order to their conversion. In the ordinary exercise of the Ministry the work of the Teacher and of the Evangelist should ever be com- bined. 4. The Committee do not see their way to recommend the establishment of a class or [175] ■'ir a ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTEENTH OBNBRAL ASSEMBLY OF order of men who shall receive special authorization as "Evangelists," and whose work shall be to conduct, or assist in conducting, special services in organized congregations. The opinion of the Committee rests largely upon the following considerations : (a) It suems to be agreed by all who have carefully looked into the question that the Evangelist of the New Testament is one who preaches the Gospel where the Church is not fully organized, and who corresponds to the Missionary (especially the Foreign Missionary). (h) Evangelistic functions, as above stated, necessary belong to the "pastor and teacher," and it is of the utmost consequence to the well-being of the Church that he should fully exercise them in the entire course of his ministry, (c) It would be extremely difficult satisfactorily to regulate admission to a class who should be adjudged to possess Evangel- listic (qualifications in such special degree as to warrant the designation of them to Evan- gelistic service in the home Church as their proper duty, {d) When a Session deems it important that the pastor should have assistance in Evangelistic work it will be always open to them to ask help of brethren whose presence and services may be regarded as specially desirable. 5. Whilst not recon mending the establishment of a class or order of Evangelists, the Committee do not for a moment forget that there are brethren who are specially enduod with the gift of speaking to the conscience, of arousing the careless and directing them to the Saviour, and they would deem it most important that this and all other gifts should be utilized in the utmost measure for the salvation of sinners and the edification of the Body of Christ. On motion of Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. John Gray, the Report was adopted. A88EMBLY TO CONTINUE IN SESSION. The hour of adjournment having arrived, it was agreed to sit for half an hour longer, .SABBATH SCHOOLS. The Assembly called for the Report of the Committee on Sabbath Schools. The Report was presented by the Convener of the Committee, Dr. Jardine, who read portions thereof, and dwelt briefly on some of its main features. It was moved by Dr. McTavish, seconded by Mr. G. Rutherford, and agreed to, — That the Report be received, and its recommendations adopted, and that the thanks of this Assembly be tendered to the retiring Convener, Dr. Jardine, for his excellent services in connection with the Sabbath School work of our Church. The recommendations are as follows : — 1. That wherever practicable the Registers recommended by the Assembly be used in all the schools ; that a full and correct record be kept, and that each Presbytery require from the Sabbath School Committee a report of every school within its bounds, to be pre- sen -.ed not later than the March meeting. 2. That each Presbytery decree and adopt some scheme of supervision or visitation whereby the efficiency of each Sabbath School may be ascertained and enhanced. 3. That all pastors and Sabbath School workers be urged to seek more directly and especially the spiritual welfare of those under their care, and that they use every legitimate means of bringing them at as early an age as possible through personal acceptance of Christ into full communion with the'Church. 4. That the claims of Missions be urged upon schools, and that each school be asked to contribute something to one or more of our great mission schemes. 5. That the authorities ofjTheological Colleges be requested to devote some attention to the training of students in methods of teaching and Sabbath School management, and that pastors, if possible, establish weekly meetings for the training of Sabbath School Teachers.

FIFTEENTH SEDERUNT. -1/ I'Vinnipeij, ami ivithin Kaow- Church there, Thursday, June t}ie Sixteenth, oiie thouxaiid eight hundred and eUihty-seven years, at the hour of half-past nine o'clock in the forenoon : — The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada met, pursuant to adjournment, and was constituted with devotional exercises, Mr. Thomas Cumming, of Truro, at the request of the Moderator, oftbring prayer. The Minutes of the Sederunt o' yesterday afternoon, and of last night, were read and sustained. EXPENSES OF PRESBYTE.RIAN ALLIANCE. Dr. Reid here stated that last year he was instructed by the Assembly to pay a cer- tain sum of money, claimed as t'le proportion of the expenses of the PresViyterian Alliance due by this Church, as soon as he should be informed by the Treasurer in Phila- delphia of the purposes to which such moneys were applied, and that he had not yei received the inrormatitjn sought. On motion of Dr. Mathews, duly seconded, for reason^' assigned, the Assembly now instructed Dr. Reid to pay the money asked for, notwith- .standing the non-reception of such information. BOHEMrA"< CHUKOH. The Moderator here stated that the amount assis^ned, by the Council of the Presby- terian Alliance, to this Church, in aid of the Bohemian Church, had been secured and a little exceeded. THANKS TO DR. BURNS AND DR. REID. On motion of Dr. Mathews, duly seconded, the thanks of the Assembly were tendered to Dr. Burns and Dr. Reid, for their faithful and aucce-isful efforts in regard to the collec- tion of the money in aid of the Bohemian Ciiurch. MARRIAGE QUE.STION. The Assembly, as agreed last night, proceeded to consider the Marriage Question, as presented in the returns to Remits, sent down to Presbyteries last year, untier the Barrier Act. It was moved by Dr. Gregg, seconded by Mr. Joseph White, as follows, — The Assembly having considered the returns to Remits on the Marriage Question, D [17V] 50 AOTH AND PROCBKDINQS OF THK TIIIRTRKNTH ORNRRAL AS8RMBLY OP resolves, — That further action on the prnpoBal to prohibit the exeroiae of discipline in the case of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, niece, or aunt, be delayed, until the General Assembly shall have decided, in an orderly manner, on the propriety of modifying or expunging the Article in the Confession of Faith, which declares that no law of man or consent of parties can make such marriages lawful, so that persons contracting them may live together as husband and wife ; or else of changing the questions prescribed to be put to ministers and elders at their ordination or induction. Dr. Caven read a motiim in amendment to the motion of Dr. Gregg. Mr. Thomas Sedgwick here raised a point of order, inasmuch as the main proposition of Dr. Caven's motion was unconstitutional. The Moderator ruled that Dr. Caven's motion was in order. Dr. Gregg appealed from the ruling of the Ohair, and a vote being taken, the ruling of the Chair was sustained. Mr. W. T. McMulIen secon inodiHed, or the teniiB of adherence to it changed, which o mnot be done without tho consent of the majority of Presbyteriea, which has not been obtained, ordination services will bu converted into a solemn mockery, inasmuch as ministers and elders will be required to make professions in accordance with which they will not, so far aa this Assembly can prevent it, be permitted to act. , YI. It is wrong and unjust to forbid the exercise of discipline in regard to marriage with a deceased wife's sister, niece, or aunt, and to rec^uire the exercise of discipline in regard to marriage with a deceased husband'^ orother, nephew, or uncle. VII. It exempts from discipline not only oi;dinary members of this Church, but even ministers and elders, who have professed, or may profess, that n* law of man or consent of parties can make it lawful for a man to marry a deceased wife's sister, niece, or aunt ; and may yet marry a deceased wife's sister, niece or aunt, and may thus subject congrega- tions to the ministrations of men whom they cannot help regarding as violators of their ordination vows. VIII. The natural and necess>iry tendency of the decision is to tempt men and women to contract marriages within the forbidden degrees, which, in future years, they may dis- cover to be forbiilden by the Word of God, and who may properly hold this Assembly largely responsible for tempting them to the commission of sin, which may cause them to feel agony and remorie during the rest of their lives. IX. The tendency of this decision is to tempt to the contracting not only of marriages with a deceased wife's sister, niece, or aunt, but also to the contracting of the correspond- ing marriages with a deceased husband's brother, nephew, or uncle, aIthou<{h these marriages are either expressly, or oy good and necessary inference, forbidden by the Word of God. X. It serves to countenance the popish and unscriptural doctrine, that it is in the power of the Church to grant indulgences for the commission of acknowledged sin in the past, and also to grant indulgences for the commission of sins which may be committed in future times. XI. This decision furnishes a bad example of the method in which, in an indirect way, the Articles of the Confession of Faith may in other cases be tampered with, and may thus prove to be the first step which may ultimately lead to disruption in our Church, similar to disruptions which have resulted in other Churches from a similar cou se of procedure. OTHBB DISSENT.^. Dr. W. Fraser craved leave to have his dissent marked in tho Minutes, on the ground that the orderly procedure in regard to this matter would have been to revise the Confes- sion of Faith. There joined with Dr. Fraser in this dissent Messrs. Joseph White, Andrew Tolinie, James Fleck, John Currie, Samuel Acheson, John Fothevingham, Alexander Uoss, J. B. Hamilton, Ministers ; Thomas Wilson, A. I. McKenzie, Robert Harrison, Elders. Dr. Reid and Dr. MacLaren dissented without specifying reasons. Mr. Thomas Sedgwick dissented because he considers Principal Caven's resolution to be incompetent, and refuses to be held bound by it. Messrs. A. D. McDonald and A. W. McDiarmid joined in this dissent. Mr. John Allan dissented from the latter part of Principal Caven's motion. Mr. Hugh McEellar dissented on the ground that he believes the change made by a majority of the Assembly on this subject to be contrary to the teachings of the Word of God, and therefore interfering with his freedom as a minister of the Church. Mr. John Ferguson, of Chesley, dissented because : (1) It is in opposition to the teach- ing of the Confession of Faith on the subject of marriage ; (2) The reasons given for making a chiinge are not to his mind sufficiently proved from Scripture ; (3) It compels us to accept [179] iji 52 ACTS AND PROCEBDINOS OF THE THIRTEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OV aa members of the Church and community those who in our judgment, and according to ordination vows, have violated the teachings of Scripture in entering into this relation,, and to that extent is a violation of liberty of conscience. Messrs. D. Wishart and Thomas McPherson dissented simply from the whole. Messrs. D. Gordon, C. A Doudiet, John MacLaren, K. McDonald, J. R. McKenziCr Dr. Smellie, Ministers ; Joseph Gibson, Hugh Gourlay, James Brown, Elders, dissented on the ground of the Assembly's decision being contrary to the teachings of the Con- fession of Faith.

There was presented and read an Overture from the Synod of Hamilton and London, setting forth in substance that it was important that the relation to the Courts of the Church, of Ordained Missionaries, or those appointed without ordination to mission work, should be thoroughly underst,. ,,V i M ,H:il Missions. .1. The present year has been on the whole one of progress. A comparison of the Statistics of the year, with those of the preceding ime, shows a slight increase both in membership and in the number of families. Two of the fields are supplied by ordained missionaries, and in at leaxt one other continuous service by an ord lined missionary is required if the field is to hold its own. Farnham West, which was on the mission list a year ago, has been erected into a pastoral charge, and is now settled. A new mission station (Trout River Line) has been opened this spring. It is hoped that ere Ipng it may be united with part of a neighbouring congregation, and form a self-supporting charge. ,, ... Augmentation, During the year Laguerre, which was vacant twelve months ago, has been settled, and West Farnti im, which was till lately a mission station, is also settled, the people contributing $600 per annum towards salary. A few years ago a French missionary was sent to West Farnham. Finding some English-speaking Presbyterians there he began an Englinh service on one part of the Sabbath, in a little Protestant school building. The cause has grailually strengthened, till now there is a beautiful church property, worth fully $'>,00i), and a settled pastor givinsf his services wholly ti ''^nglish work. Notwithstanding the number of Protestaat families leaving the Province from time tu time, our augmented congrega- tions report an increase of twenty-two families over last year, and notwithstanding the exceptionally high cost to Protestants o^education in many districts of this Province, the average contribution per communicant towaivls salary in our augmented charges is $6.3;<, as compared with $6.1.1, the average* in the augmented congregations in Ontarir) and Quebec. This scheme has been of very great benefit to our Presbytery, and has secured for our numerous weak charges regularly settled pastors. How it is appreciated by the ministers of these congregations, is shown by the following extract from a letter recently received from one of them, in response to a remittance of the balance of his last half year's grant. " Words can scarcely express the gratitude we ^oor ministers feel towards God the giver of all good, and towanls the Church, for the aid received from this augmented fund. Nor do words suit- ably express the joy and comfort it brings to our homes, relieving us of difliculties and enabling us better to meet the wants of nur children. I had forgotten for the time being that this balance was duo to me, and was conjecturing how to meet an account when your letter was put into my hands, .containing three dollars more than is necessary to meet the present ein^irgency. ' ' I am so thankful the same supi)lement is to be given to us another year, for I have no hope of an increa-e from the congregation, but have reason to fear thvt wt shall have to report a decrease of families and members, chiefly owing to removals." PUKSBYTERY OK CLENGARUY. ■ ' '^r.ft. ,. Atinsions, The mission station of Gravel Hill and Front of Roxbormgh, the only one within the bounds, has been sup|)lied during last winter by the Rev. D. D. McLennan, ordained missionary. The pros- pects are very encouraging. The short line of the C. P. R.— which is on the eve of completion- passes through the field, and is to have a station at Gravel Hill. If tb^^ v'xpectations of the resident? are fulfilled, there will soon be a self-sustaining congregation. Augmentation. There is but little change in the supplemented congregations. Suiomvistown, partly owing to a change of ministers, but more particularly owing to h)sse8 through a severe hailstorm in the begin- ning of harvest, had to fall back from the advance which they made last year.

In mission work the Presbytery finds great difficulty in securing suitable men to occupy the Kelds as ordained missionaries. vVitnin the bounds there are several fields which meet the c f making this field— what it ought to be— an accession to our list of augmentea congregations. Our Presbytery continues to feel a deep interest in the Home Mission work within their bounds, and have been encouraged by the prosperity manifested in some of the fields. Our contributions towards the Home Mission Fund have been in excess of those of last year. Auf/mentation, Our collections for the Augmentation Fund have been about the same as last year — but when it is borne in mind that during the past two years we have removed no fewer than six charges from the augmented list, thus reducing our claims from $1,300 per annum to $350— it will be apparent that we have been virtually large contributors to the fund, which is very highly appreciated by us, and has been utilized for the purpose of bringing our {leople to a sense of their duty to their own minister, which, in most cases, they have evinced a desire to do. PRESBYTERY OF KINGSTON. Mwsions, All the fields in this Presbytery were fully occupied during the past summer. The -Poland district was served continuously and efficiently for twelve months by Mr. Sharp, a student of Queen's College. The people belonging to Sidney Station, recently organized, have purchased and paid for a neat and commodious brick church. Queen's College Missionary Association supplied Mississippi and Matawatchan without expense to the Home Mission Fund. Rev. James Mcllroy was appointed ordained missionary to Poland, and has been labouring there since last October. We have now three important fields occupied by ordained missionaries, and expect to have two more located ere long, in large and needy districts. We hope then to be in a position to carry on our mission operations more effectively, and supply nearly all out pr^^/jhing stations, at least fortnightly, during the winter months. Several of these were unavoidably left without supply last winter. Reports from our ordained missionaries and students are on the whole cheering. Attendance on public worship, prayer meeting, Sunday school, and Bible classes indicates growing interest, and shows that earnest work is being done among the people. Augmentation, The aid-receiving congregations were visited by deputations. The results, so far, have been that the grant to Roslin and Thurlow has been discontinued, and that to Lansdowne, etc., reduced, the latter congregation increasing its contribution to stipend. Present indications point to the likelihood of other and greater reductions being made in the near future. PRESBYTERY OF PETERBOROUGH. Mismons. The reports received from our missionary fields of the work done during the past year have been, on the whole, of an encouraging nature, giving also promise of something better in the future. An ordained missionary has been placed on the Minden and Kinmount field, and thus a pressing necessity met. Hitherto the services, during a few months in summer, were barely sufficient to keep our cause alive, but we now hope for it a steady advance. A like need for an ordained missionary is felt in the Haliburton field, and the want must soon be relieved, if any r' ./ anent success is to be secured. Our cause has made decided gains in Havelock, and in Chand^o and Burleigh, owing mainly to the fact that they have had services furnished to them during the winter months. In both the prospects are very encouraging. Harvey, a strong station, has suffered through the withdrawal of the missionary appointed to it, after eight weeks' service. We expect, however, that the labours of an effective missionary, during this summer, will repair the loss. Augmentation. We have still to regret the want of interest in this cause, manifested by some of our large and wealthy congregations, that prefer to look on their "own things," and not " on the things of others." There has, however, been an increase in our contributions, as compared with those of last year, of over twenty per cent. One of our assisted congregations has become self-sustaining, and has been removed from the list, and two others are likely to reach a like position during the coming year. We thank God, and take courage. X larger knowledge will remove the narrow prejudices with which this fund has had to contend. PRESBYTERY OF LINDSAY. Missions. The Presbytery of Lindsay has under its care three mission fields, viz. : Cambray and Oakwood, Coboconk, and Carden. The Gospel is preaciied at eight or nine points within these fields. Mis- sionaries report progress in all the fields. Appendix No. 1. V. The wo 'k began two years ago in Oakwood and Cambray was carried on last Hum'ner with good results. Ho far this iield has been able to meet all expenses of a student during the mmmer six months, ami weekly supply from the College during the winter. The new ehurch built at Coboconk the summer before last was completed last summe*. It is the finest in tne village or for many miles aroimd, and reflects great credit on the energy of the congregat'.on. At Cirden, also, a new church was built last summer. It is a handsome and commodioui building, and wai opened almost free from debt. .Such is the spirit, liberality and numerical strength developed in this fif.ld that it is expected before long it may be erected into an augmented charge with a iettled pastor. It is free of debt. During the winter Cambray and Oakwood, and Coboconk and associated stations have had weekly service fron^ Juudents of Knox College. The Carden group has had service every two weeks from members of Pi. ibytery, the Knox College Students' Missionary Society kindly suppljring their pulpits in their absen. i. Ir. consequence of this regular supply no ground has been lost, while, under the blessing of Grod, more successful work is anticipated during the summer. Augmentation, During the year Uptergrove became vacant through the resignation of the Rev. H. Sinclair. Since that time negotiations have been opened with the Presbytery of Barrie with the view of having it wrought with Longford and Black River. The transfer will probably take place without delay, when a self-sustaining charge may be formed. This summer they are being wrought by one student. Leaskdale and Zephyr are making steady proj^ress, although the congregation sustained a heavy loss through the recent cleath of Mr. James Leask, to whose liberality and Christian activity they owe so much ; yet, it is hoped, some time, not far in the future, they may be a self-sustaining charge. The congregation of Fenelon Falls and Somerville, although weakened by many removals of families from the bounds, is in a flourishing condition. Sunderland and Vroomanton, that has been so long vacant, has now the prospect of an imme- diate settlement, and one of such a character, it is believed, as will mark a new era in the history of that congregation. Two years ago the mission stations of Kirkfield and Bolsover were united and erected into a con- gregation. They are about to extend a call to Mr. L. Perrin, a recent graduate of Queen's College, who has dond excellent work in this field for the two past summers. It is most gratifying to be able to state that the field will be self-sustaining from the outset. In mission stations and augmented congregations, alike, the prospects have never been so encouraging as at the present moment. PRESBYTERY OF TORONTO. Missions. Work has been carried on in the following fields : 1. Queensville, etc. ; 2. Mt. Albert and Ballantrae ; 3. Bethesda and York Station. These last two stations, Bethesda and York Station, are now united with Chalmers Church, York Townline, and thus form a self-sustaining congregation, .and we hope for an early settlement. During the year two of our mission stations— 1. Junction and Dixie ; 2. Hornby and Omagh — have become settled charges with good prospects. In Toronto (city) mission work has been prosecuted with increasing interest and vigour ; with few exceptions every church has its mission station, in which a student is employed. New Missions were opened last year by the following churches : Parkdale, Chalmers, West End, College Street, and St. James Square. The Bloor and Hurot^ Streets Mission has made good progress during the year, and a fine Sabbath School room is in course of erection. Augmentation, In each of the aid-receiving congregations the work is carried on with great satisfaction. La.skey and East King has become self-sustaining. Three congregations have been placed on the Fund : 1. Leslieville now stands alone, and asks for aid for one year'; 2. Junction and Dixie, just settled ; •3. Hornby and Omagh, recently settled. PRESBYTERY OF ORANGEVILLE. Missions. There are 'now only three mission fields in this Presbytery. Dundalk, formerly a mission field, is now under the care of a settled pastor, Rev. J. A. Ross, who was formerly the ordained missionary of the field. St. Andrew's, Proton — An old mission field is no w attached to Proton Station, a new congregation organized during the year. Black's now stands alone. Gaudier has been detached and put in connection with Corbetton and Riverview. The church at Gandier was burnt during the year, but aid having been received from the other congregations of the Presbytery, a new church is being built. Corbetton & Riverview— Very rapid progress under the care of Mr. .1. C. Madill. A new church has been built at the latter place, and ia free of debt. The grant required is only one half of that for last year. ._^ Aitgnientation. ' ^ The six congregations receiving aid from the fund are gradually working up. One has been removed from the list ; three have increased their contributions by SSO each, and the prospects are very good for their being removed altogether from the list in a few years. The other two are only recentlv settled. The contributions from the congregations towards the Schemes of the Church are nc^t all that might be desired, but a steady increase is noted. vi. APPKnDlX No. 1, Mr. McNaughton, Magintin Mr. Hay was obliged to lea. • ■.> spent seven Sabbaths on the "'oo. Railway towards the close of tt ■' he presented to the Presbyterj PRKSBVTERT OK BAKH!K. Mimom. On the Canadian Pacific Railway from Sudbury to Schreiber, Mr. W. Hay, of the Montreal Presbyterian Gojlexe, laboured as pioneer last summer. As there is a distance of 422 miles between the two stations named, Mr. Hay could not concentrate his efforts upon any one pointy but he laboured diligently in distributing his services among the eight stations of his charge as advantageously as possible. On Sabbaths he preached at the more important points, spending five at Sudbury, four at Ghapleau, one at White River, and toijr at Pichreiber. During the week he visited the people and held service at these places, and aJh<> at Vermilion, Cartier, Mormon Pit and Biscotasing. He established Sabbath schools and young men's Bible classes at Sudbury and Schreiber, which were kepi up during his absence at the latter place. He appears to have a wakened considerable interest in Church matters among the people on the line. In the dis- "h&r/e of his duties he travelled 0,731 miles on the railway, and required tc undergo fatigue, and occasionally privation of food, rest and study. He was enaoled to make his journey by the liberality of the Railway authorities, r\nd he e\ resNx ) gratitude especially to Mr. White for his interest in secunnga free passon the '/"way i engaged in his missicm work. He also expresses thanks to >ury, fur leave g' "-n to hold services in the Court house there, ■• if ■ >t, and was f(, wed in the work by Mr. D. B. Marsh, who- '3'(N v^ev. John I 'dy also spent five weeks on this part of the • T>t>. •. , . idminister'T ^ ordinances, and acquiring information which a lon^ 'id inte' anting report. During the winter there was no available missionary, and for that season < ... iperu.'.ions were suspended. We have now hope that the work will be resumed and permanently maintained on at least part of this long line of stations. Mr. S. Rondeau, a distinguished graduate in theology of thR Montreal Presbyterian College, has accented an appointment as ordained missionary at Sudbury, and begins work in June. Mr. \V. S. Wallace, of Queen's l^niversity, goes to Chapleau for the winter, and Schreiber is to be taken care of by the Winniiieg Presbytery. For review of the work in Muskoka, Parry Sounlements were required. The result was that six of the congregations raised the stijiend to the minimum, or above it. In another case the promise of an effort to dome up to the minimum was mode, but the stipend has not since been reported above $700 and manse, and the congregation has not been put on the supplemented list, because the conditionH required were not attained. Six of the thirteen congregations were placed on the list as aid-roceiving, but the stimulating influence of the scheme is to be noticed in respect to four of these, for two added to the stipend formerly paid 8100 each, one $7-^, and another $50. The following table will show all the conxregations which have been benefited by the scheme, when placed tm the list, and when removed ; which of them still remain, the sum received by etvch until now, and the total received by the PreBl)ytery from the Fund :— .>. t). 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

The demands have nevertheless increased every year, from $387.50 in 1884, $830.63 in 1885, $1,317 in 1886. to $1,659.60 in 1887. This increase, which arises from the erectiim of mission stations into congregations, may be expected to continue in this Presbytery, which includes a large mission field with many stations. MUSKOKA AND PARRY SOUND. These two districts, lying within the bounds of the Presbytery of Barrie, form a part of the excep- tionally large missi(m fif-ld lying within her borders. With six mission fields to the south of these dis- tricts, in the County of Simcoe, and the line of the C. 1*. K. from Nipissing Junctitm westw anl to Port Arthur, where the bounds of the Presbytery of Manitoba are touched, this Presbytery can justly claim a prominent position among the mission Presbyteries of the Church, in the districts above mentioned there are twenty-three mission fields. (>ne or two new fields are occupied for the first time this year, while, as the result of rn-division, found necessary owing to the growth of some of the older fields, two or three additional fields are found on the list. In general terms, the present state of these fields may be termed one of progress. The benefit of railroad communication with the outside world is being felt in nearly every part of the country, and, as may reasonably be expected, our work is sharing in the general prosperity. That this prosperity is being felt may be illustrated by the fact that the Presbytery, while extending the wi)rk more largely than perhaps in any year in the jiast history of this field, has been enabled to reduce the grants for the cur rent year by about .81,000 without injuring the interest of any fielil. And, at the same time, as illustrating the interest felt by our people in these mission fields, in the work of the Church at large, it may be mentiimed that during the past year they have contributed over $500 to the Schemes of the Church. As in former years, the Stuflents' Missionary Association of Knox College is doing good service, occupying mix fields. During the past winter nine labourers were employed, some <>f them occupying double fields, thus extending the sphere of their usefulness, and giving service to many who would otherwise be without the means of grace. About 225 were added to the membership of the Church on this field during the past year — evidence, we judge, of the deeper spiritual life which is being developed under the faithful labours of our missionaries. Taken as a whoie the prospects of this portion of the field are very encouraging. And while for many years to come the Cnurch will here have a mission field, yet an increase in the numbe): of settled pastors may, from time to time, be looked for with certainty.

Mount Pleasant and Burford is the only congregation receiving assistance. It is hoped that the amount given may shortly be reduced, as the congregation has in near prospect the erection of a manse. PRKHBTTKUY OK LONDON. MinsionH, During the past year S()ringu:?ld has received constant supply, and the work has been well sus- tained. In connection with this Htati.'u services have been begun at Aylmer, some six mile» distant. The prosiiects, so far, are encouraging, and it is ii-,;;'."' ♦h"* bofore loiis; these two places may become nutficiently strong to be formed into a pastoral charge. North Street, which was efficiently worked last summer by Mr. AlLu: Patterson, student, has, since October, been placed under the care of Rev. J; A. McConnell, of D3laware, who gives regular supply on Sabbath evenings. I'nder this arrangement no grant is receivtd from the Home Missitm Fund. East Williams, though nominally a vacant congregation, has been srpplied for the last three years as a mibsion station, being too weak to sustain a settled pastor. The people, however, though few in number, have held well together, and have contributed liberally for trie supply of ordinances. They receive no grant. Augmented Congregationa, The augmented congregations in this Presbyttry are : Kint.ore, Port Stanley, Wardsville and Newbury, London East. While none of these have during the pa^t year been able to increase their .contributions to stipend, it is ctmfidentlv o-'pected that some of them will do so before next year, and thus reduce the amount of supplement at present required. •^■' ' ' ■'-.■' PRKSBYTKBY OK CHATHAM. .* •: , .- Mitsions, .... ' , . The mission stations of this Presbvtery have fairly prosi^ered during the past year. Tilbury Centre is in much the same condition as at the end of last year, but at Wintlfall, a station connected with it, there has been a decided improvement. There is not much change at Pence, Ilenaud Line and Belle River, except that, in the mean time, the last named place has, without any loss, been dropped, and the labour of the missionary confined to Peuce and Renaud I jine. Buxton seemed dying twelve months ago, but it has wonderfully revived. The attendance at divine service on the Lord's Day has increased, and our people there are greatly encouraged. Auiimentation. In this Presbytery there are three augmented congregations. One of them, Essex Centre, is steadily growing, and, no doubt, will, in time, be self-supporting. The other two, in point of financial strength, are just about where they were this time last year. In both cases the field is important, but limited. PRKSBYTEKY OK SARNIA, Misiionx, There are four mission fields in the Presbytery of Sarnia. 1. Somhra Village and Duthel Church. 2. Guthrie Church, Black Creek and VVilkesport. 3. Inwood and Brooke. 4. Marthaville and Page's Schoolhouse. Two of these were opened during the past year. The greatest difficulty is f xperienced in getting suitable winter supply. In the old fields gradual progress is being made. The Presbytery hopes soon to erect two of its mission fields into regular charges. Augmentatum, The number of augmented congregations is four, 1. Corunna, Mooretown and Knox Church, Moore : — This congregation is rapidly improving financially ; the claim for the current year is only half that of the past year. 2.

The County of Bruce, comprising tifteen towiiahipa. was twenty years ago an almost unbroken mission territory. There were only nine ordained niinifters of onr Cliurch in this wide regi(m. II. There are now thirty-one ordained pastors within the bounds of the county, and several mission stations, that will, no doubt, in the near future take shape as pastorates. III. In the Preabytery of Bruce proper there are twenty settled congregations, which, with the exception of three, are self-sustaining. IV. There are now no mission stations noutk of Lake Huron within our bounds. V. North of Lake Huron, and in connection with our Presbytery, there are seventy-three mission stations, or preaching places. In this field there are five ordained misaionaries and five catechists. The following outlines of mission work in this widely -scattered Presbytery have been prepared by Rev. A. Findlay and Rev. D. Cameron : Algoraa :— The work in this part of the field is advancing apace. We have to report considerable progreNH during the past year, both in the wa.> of consolidating the work already undertaken and in extending the field. A larg.- number of missionaries have been employed during the past year than during any similar period in the history of this field. Six ordained misitionaries and three catechists were employed during the past winter where a year ago four ordained missionaries and two catechists were employed, and this staflf of nine labourers will be further augmented by the addition of six student missionaries on the opening of navigatior:. The"Sttult"is still occupied by Mr. E. B. Rodgers. In Tarbutt and Bruce Mines, Mes^ri. .\. F. Mackenzie and D. McNaughtnn have had a busy winter in CDnsolidating the work on their respective fields, and in making " rouKh places plain." At Thessalon, Mr. I). H. .VlcLennan, v;ith the assistance of Mr. W. Corbett, catechist, has seen his field, oi igiiially of four stations, extended to a field of twelve stations, and these already taking rank as " doers," since they have sent over -SlOO as their contribution to the Schemes of the Church. At Gore Bay. Mr. J. L. Campbell is bripging the first year of his appointment to a close with a full record of work done in the way of completing organization over a widely extende.l and somewhat scattered field. At Manitowaning, Mr. D. Cameron, who might well plead pa&i service as a reason for present inactivity, has set an example which many of our younger men might copy with advantage. In addition to his own large field he has during the past winter given 8er\'ice regularly every month on the Little Current field, dispensing ordinances, and in other ways doing much to strengthen the cause and encourage the people who, but for his kindness, would have had seven or eight months of silent Sabbaths. On St. Joseph Inland and at Providence Bay Messrs. H. McLennan and I. Steele, catechists, have been doing good service in preparing the way for the ordained inissiimary or the settled pastor. The fielils, in addition to the foregoing, to be occupied during the sitmmer, are : under the Presbytery, Cockburn Islaud and Meldrum lUy, Burpee and Silver water ; and, under the Students' Missionary Association of Knox College, Blind River, Spanish River, and Little Cur- rent.

Miinitowaning Mixxion Field ix a very large one, extending from north to xfiuth a dixtanc^e of twenty-nix miled, with five preaching HtationH. Owing to the barren, rocky, broken nature of the country the people are grou|ted together in the nniall valleyK and plain* from four to six rnilen apart. Services have been regularly held through the whole field on Sabbath, and occaHionally during the week. A large number of children were bajitized. In one place all the children of the f >mily, the eldent Ron taking the vowh himRelf ; in another ]>lace the father and his child were baptized at the same time. Outside the Hehl there are two places where I have preached occafiitmally. In one of them there are sixteen fannlieM ; in the other there are between tnirty-five and forty fishermen, never visited before V)y a niinister. Here I gave monthly supply during summer. To accomplish Huch Work T have preached three times three Sabliuths of the month, and the fourth twice, with an average driving of thiity-six miles per week. Providence Bay Mission Field is also a large one, about eighteen miles between the two extremes, with six pleaching stations. I have visited it last winter, baptized eight children, and the father of three of them. Mr. Hteele, our catechist, is doing good work, and well liked by the people, as far as T was able to learn. Little Current Mission Field is pretty large, about eighteen miles from the one end to the other, with three preaching stations A church has been built and finished at the Current, and it is almost free of debt. The people «re building churches at the other two stations, which, I hojw, will be finished this summer. Little Current is a rising place. Two large sawmills were built here last summer, employing a large number of men. Mr. Mitchell, our student, did excellent work through the whole field. I have given a monthly Sabbath supply to Little Current during winter. To accomplish all my winter work my hleigh-driving will average fifty miles per week, and sometimes in the face of a blinding snow-storm with the thermometer 27° below zero May the Lord bless the preaching of His word to perishing sinnern. A ugmenUUion. I. When the Augmentation Scheme was introduced, there were within our boimds nine congrega- tions which fell below the required minimum of seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750). Six of these were in receipt of aid from the old Supplemental Scheme. IT. Three of these have been dropjjed or removed, so only three remain a burden on the Scheme. IIT. There is every prospect that *wo of these will ere long be reuioved, probably by the end of this year. IV. There is no prospect that any new congregation will be put on the list, at least no more than one new, and that only in the severance of present connection. V. The contributions by the Presbytery to this Scheme have not been what they should. The following things may account for this : (1) We have no rich congregations ; all have what they can do to be self-sustaining and meet ends. (2) We have no city within our bounds ; two small towns and two churches in each till the two in W Ikerton united. (;<) All the other congregatitms are either in small villages, in which you may find the representa- tives of all the denominations in Christendom, or in purely country places. It is the universal experinnce that co try |)eople are very slow to jiart with money. (4) We find a \, iudice against the Scheme ; this crops out in many ways, such as inconvenient questions, for exauipi''. when you solicit subscriptions for thi.s Scheme you are a^ked : Does such a congregation get aid from this fund V Has Mr. So-and-so two .stations to preach in ? Does he require to keep a horse, etc., etc We all find that there is a greater readiness to give to the other Schemes of the < 'hurch than to tbi.s. I believe every member of the Fre.-'bytery has done his utmost t'^ remove this jirejudice, and I believo it will be removed or destroyed in time. The Scheme has done much gooti, and, while I hope this Presbytery will not long ciutiniie to burden it, yet other Presbyteries and fields require this or some such to aid them. m\ MANITOBA AND THE NORTH WEST TERRITORIES. MISSIONS. The prosecution of mission work during the past year was rendered somewhat difficult through various causes, chief among which was the drought that prevailed over a wide area, and more especi- ally in the central parts of the Nortli-West Territories. The country is depending almost wholly on grain crops as yet, and a failure in these means financial stringency. In many districts of Manitoba there is a noticeable improvement in the financial position of congregcttions. The extension of branch XII. Appendix No. 1. Iine8 of railway is gradually filling up districts that were partly abandoned, inasmuch as markets are brought within reach of the farmers. During the summer every field in the Synod was supplied, and the advance made in winter supply will appear when it is stated that the aggregate number of Sab- baths supplied last winter was 1,604, as against 1,253 the preceding winter. From many districts other denominations were compelled to withdraw owing to financial stringency, and our missionaries supplied the whole population with the means of grace. The last few years have made it manifest that the progress of the country is not to l)e as rapid as was at one time anticipated.' Church and State must consequently be prepr.red to make sacrifices for a few years longer, that the moral and material well-being of the people may be secured. The ultimate result does not seem to be doubtful, but evidently there lies between the people and their goal a stretch and a struggle. The progress made during the year, and the present state of the work, will be better shown by taking the Presby- teries in order. PRESBYTERY OK WINNIPKCi. To the list of settled charges Blythfield is to be added, Mr. Douglas having been inducted pastor in March. Greenwood called Mr. McFarlane, and Fort William is anxious to secure a pastor. A mission was organized in North Winnipeg, and a church built ; and steps have been taken to build a church in Fort Kouge, or South Winnipeg. Murillo, the centre of a farming district, about twelve miles west of Fort William, and a mining district to the south of Murillo, where about two hundred. men are employed, have been erected into a mission field. One missionary was employed last winter, and two will lab(>ur there this summer, one of them acting as teacher. Schrieber, a town on the C. P. R., about 130 miles east of Port Arthur, is to be occupied this summer for the first time. The missionary is to labour along the railway as circumstances suggest. By a re-arrangement of fields, Niverville and Clear Springs are united. An effort was made to secure a missionary to spend part of his time in the Mennonite settlements, but a suitable man for such work was not available. A (ierman student, from Union Theological Seminary, is likely to occupy the field for the summer. Sixteen missionaries at least will be in the mission field in this Presbytery this summer, as against fourteen last year. The gains in the Presbytery have been the advance of Blythfield to the status of a congregation, the oi'ganization of two mission fields, and the erection of a church. PRESnVTKRY OF ROCK LAKK, The extension of the Pembina Mountain Railway rendered necessary a re-adjustment of fields. Six fields, with four stations each, have been formed between Cartwright and the Antlers. At Bosse- vain a neat frame church has been built, a hall purchased at Pilot Mound, and subscriptions secured to build at Killarney. Deloraine and Cartwright are also taking steps to biiild. The Buaconsfield people lost their church by fire, but they are preparing to build again. The loss was partly covered by insurance. The gains of the Presbytery were the addition of two mission fields and the erection of a church. There will be eleven missionaries in the fieid this summer, there were nine last year. PRESBYTKRY OF BRANDON. Souris called Mr. W. M. Omand ; Virden, Mr. A. Currie, and Oak Lake, Mr. D. H. Hodges. The calls were accepted, and these gentlemen are now the pastors of these respective congregations. Binscarth has called Mr. Simpson, and Knox Chureh, Brandon, Mr. Dustan, of 'Nova Scotia. The calls have been accepted. Birtle has called Mr. llodnett. Whitewater, occupied for the first time last year, promises to become a good congregation 'n a year or two. Churches were built at Birtle, Shoal Lake, Scrathclair, and a building bought and fitted up by the congregation of Knox Church, Brandon. A manse was erected at Neepawa. Grants have been made by the Church and Manse Building Board to erect two churches in the Shell River field, and the congregation of Oak Lake is preparing to build a manse. At Glenboro', Holland, and other centres, the people are anxious to build. Two new fields are to be occupied this summer, viz., Arden, lying between Gladstone, Neepawa and Louise, in the Tiger Hills district. Twenty-four missionaries were employed during the year, and twenty for the current year. The gains for the year were the erection of one self-sustaming congregation, the advancement of five mission fields to the status of augmented congregations, the organization of a new mission field, and the erection of four churches and one manse. Add Self-sus PRESBYTERY OF BEGINA. High River had a missionary of its own this year for the fi.rst time. Dalesboro' and Carnduff, in South-East Asainiboia, and Crescent Lake, north of Broadview, were also organized. Kinistino, in the Carrot River District, and Swift Current, on the C. P. R., h*d missionaries who discharged the duties of teacher and missionary with much acceptance. Lansdowne, south of Whitewood, was erected into a mission field. During the summer two missitmaries laboured in the Rocky Moun- tains among the employes of the railway, and in the towns along the line. They were replaced by others during the autumn. During the summer at least 7,000 men were employed, and 3,000 during the winter. Revelstoke, Donald, Banff and Anthracite ar'j the most promising towns west of Calgary at present. Services are held, however, at every point where an audience can be secured — Week evenings being utilized for the less important points. The work is laborious but most important. The West Carlyle Church was burnt by a prairie fire, and a church at Fort Qu'Appelle, in the course of erection, fell a prey also to the flames. With groat energy and commendable liberality, the Qu'Appelle congregation rebuilt their church. At Tlacleod (Broadview field), Battleford, Winlaw, Roxboro' and File Hills, churches were also erected, and a manse at Lethbridge. A church is in course of erection at Donald, and steps have been taken to build at once at Banff, Anthracite, York- ton, Orkney, Wallace and Armstrong Lake. The fine stone church at Calgary is nearing completion. Appendix No. 1. xui. Thirty-four misaionaries, were in the service of the Church in this Presbytery last year. Gains, nine mission fields with eighteen stations, six churches and one manse. Summing up results, the Synod gained one self-sustaining congregation, six mission fields advanced to the status of argmented con- gregations, fourteen new mission fields, eleven churches and two man»'es. It lost two churches by fire. Financial returns were made from only two Presbyteries, viz., Winnipeg and Kegina, and in the case of Regina Presbytery they are not complete. A statement based on them would bp nisleading. A comparison of the figures of last year with those of this year may be of interest. It may be premised, however, that the returns from the Presbytery of Regina must be very partial, and hence inaccurate. There are known to be about 1,700 Presbyterian families within tne bounds of the Presbytery. There is not any settlement of any size where services were not held, and yet tlie returns give only for all stations about 1,200 families. The figures of congregations appearing in lS85-'8(i, but removed to the augmented list, do not appear in the tables for 1880- '87.

Presbyteries arrange' *or dispensing the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and large additions were made to the communion roll. In all congrej^ations in the Synod the figures stand, as far an reported, 5,62;-(, as against 4 709 reported last year— a gain of 854. As in other years, the Misstionary SocietieH of Knox, Queen's, Montreal and Manitoba Colleges rendered valuable assistance during the summer. The students of Manitoba College helped to supply, during winter, all fields accessible from Winnipeg that were without rt-gular missionaries. Last year mention was mad*; of the generrmity of an Klder of the Church in ( )ttawa, who gave S600 towards the support of the miss'i^nary at Fort McLeod. This grant is cimtinued for the cuiient year. The aid thus given has susta-'iierl a mission that has been blessed in doing much good. Already a number of immigrants have arrived, and the numb;-' this year promises to be larger than for several years past. For all new settlements provisiou is b ing made as fast as circumstances warrant. [.— I'KKSBYTERV OK WINNIPKO, Augmentation. There are foiir augmented congregations connected wii,h the Presbytery of Winnipeg, the same number as icpi rted last year. Services were ht;lil at Hlevjn stations, and the families number KiH, and the conimunicanls, 247, as against Ki.'Hamilie.s and 2V) conirnuiiicauts reported last year. Two of the congregations are provided with manses, and the i. umber of churches is eight. Contribiiti(;ns for th, f upport of ordiiiancea amounted to !S2,810, or an average of $11. :W per cominunicant. The sum of S2r(».7f) was ccjntributed for the Schemes of the Church. Springfield will likely become self-sus- taining bpfore the close of the current y'?ar. Blythfield, an isolated settlement, sui)p]ied for th . past thirteen years, made such satisfactory progress last summer as warninted the Preshytery in erecting it into a congregation. A c ill was extended t(< the Rev. .James Douglas, tlie congregation promising $'tbO and a manse. Three stations, with ;in families and a communion roll of '2(i. constitute the church. The Home Mission Committee of the General Assembly declined to recognize the congregation as one entitled to receive aid from the Augmentation Fund, although the i linister was inducted. II, — I'KKSmTKHY OF ROCK LAKE. Has four augmented congregations, with twenty-two stiitions, three churches, a hall, and a church- manse. The hall was purchaseil thh year bv the congregation c)f Pilot Mound. The families number 226, and the commu'iicants 2 •:■!, an increase of 10 familifs and 'i'.i communicants. Contributions for the support of ordinances amounted to !S'^,-Wi", or an average of S9.04 per communicant. For schemes the amount was S2t)7. The grants voted by the Home Mission Committee are $1,300 for the current year, a< .-"yain^t )Sl,400 last year. III.— PKE8BYTEUY OV UliANDON, Two congregations, Souris and Virdi»n, were adiled to the former list, making 8 in all. One of these, huinside, is vacant. The stations number 30. fauulies 4S"), and communicants 575. Last year the fatnilieH reported were 31fj, and the comuiunicants 424. Thsee congregations own ten churches, five manses, and a church-manse. The Neepawa congregation built a manse during the year. The sum of $"),t>bO, or an average of .f!t.95 per communicant, is promised for the support of ordi- nances, as against $<4,548.50 paid last year. The amount of $lH.i was given for the Schemes of the Church. Returns here are not complete. Oak Lake, with four stations, 40 families and 4ft communicants, was erected into a congregation. The Rev. D. H. Hodges was called and settled, the congregation promising $580 towards his sup- port. The Home Mission Committee dfclined to recognize the charge as an augmented congregation, and refused aid from the Augmented Fund. IV.— PRESilYTEIlY OE BEOINA. The Rev. W. Mc William deniitted the charge of Prince Albert, and Dr. Jardine, of Brockville, was appointed in his place. The congregation ha.s so increased in size that the present church is too small, and it is contemplated to build another church during the coming summer. There are three congiegations, five stations, 97 families, and 211 communicants. Tliese congregations own three churchf'S and two manses. The families and communicants reported last year we»'e, respectively, 96 and 155. There is pmndsed, for the sui)port of ordinances, $2,400 (last year the amount was the Mame), or an average of $11.32 jier communicant. Schemes received $i84. Til sum up for the Synod —No augmented cport of ordinances, $13,520 is iiromised, as against $12,1.55 last year. Contributions to Schemes of the Church amounted to $904.75. The rate per communicant, including manses, for the current year is $10.51, and $4,955 is voted by the Home Mission Committee for 19 congregations, as against $1,245 last yeai- for 17 congregations. Owing to the high cost of living, the salaries in the Presbytery of Regiiia have been raised to .$1,200 at Edmonton and other outposts. This increases the vote of the Home .Mission Committee. Faithful, conscientious work was d(me in all the congregations, but the unfavourable season pre- venteil a financial advance. (Joiigregatums are becoming more consolidated, however, and the evil effect of the infiation of 1882-3 is being fast uittee does not feel justified in remitting money after this date to the Synod's committee until it has some guarantee that the Ixjoks and acpounts are being kept in an intelligible and orderly manner. The following were appointed a sul)-committee to take such action as might seem best, on hearing from the Svnod's Committee: Dr. Cochrane, Me.ssrs. .Mitchell and Warden. It was further resolved to nut on record an expression of the Committee's appreciation of the valuable serifice rendered by M.r. McKilligau in connectini with this report, and to convey to him the Ciirdial thanks of the Committee for his gratuitous and laborious work. At the meeting in March, the report of Mr. ,J. B. McKilli.(an, of Winnipeg, was again read. Mr. Warden also reported that at the request of the Home Mission Committee of the Synod, and after correspondence with members of the Executive, he had visited Winnipeg in the beginning of December, conferred with the .Synodical Committee, and examined the system in vogue for keeping the books and for ailministering the work ; and that on his recommendation a new system, ti.e particulars of which he explained, had been adopted by the Synodical Committee, and that he had written up from the former cash book of the Treasurer a book according to the new system containing all the transactions from the bHginuing of the present ecclesiastical year— 1st April —to Avd of I)eceml)er. He further stated that — accepting Mr. J. B. McKilligan's report of the indebtedness to the Bank on 31st March as correct -there was a deficit at the 3rd December last of ?2,742.'J2, with interest, on the trans.ictions of former years. .Mr. Warden read several extract minutes of the Synorlical Home Mission Committee bearing on the matter. There was submitted through the Synodical Committee a claim for S159..50, being the am >unt of a number of cheques charged to Vlr. ll)I)ertsoa's private account, chiefly in 1881, which should have been charged to the Synodical account. After lengthened consideration, the whole matter was referred to a sub-'iommittee. consisting of Dr. Laing, Dr. Campbell, Messrs. Macdounell, Farries, McKenzie and Warden. At a later stage this sub-committee presented the following report : — In view of the fact that the auniril tiiitticial statem-snt of the Home Mission Committee of the Synod of Manitoba an'' the Xorth-West, presented in -June last, was unsatis factory and iniccurate, the Hi)me .Mission Com aittee requested the Synod's Coiniaittee to have an audit made of the books and accounts, and suggested that .*Ir. .h B. McKilligan's services be secured for this purpose. Mr. McKilligan kindly imdertook the work, and forwardeil his report to the Committee in October last. While considering it impracticable to make an auc'it of the accounts owing to the insufficiency of the data furnished and to the way in which the books were kept, and while pointing out discre|)ancies between the Bank account and the Treasurer's books, Mr. McKilligan roc tmmendeil the Committee to accept the Bank account au correct, the balance due at 31st March, 188G, being •'$2,313.75. Mr. Warden reported, after, a c ireful scrutiny of the Treasurer's books from Ist April to 3rd December last, that this indebtedness (for services, etc , prior to Ist April, I88tj) had been increased to i$2742.y2. This indebtedness has been incurred partly by the purchase of ponies for the use of student missionaries in several fields, and there are now twenty-two of said ponies available, for which ^l,7">l.i)0 was paid. Your sub-committee recommend that the amcmnt of indebtedness above stated ($2,743.92) with the interest accrued thereon, be paid from the Home Mission Fund. Your sub-com- inittee considered an ap|)lication from the Synodical Home Mission Committee for grants to the several Presbyteries to the extent of .§1,700 for the purpose of procuring outfits for missiotiaries, and they recommend that the ponies aljove referred b? distributed among the several Presbyteries according to their requirements. Your sub-committee further i-ecommend that the claim of .Mr. Robertson for $4.59.50, being amount paid by him at various times from his personal account for Missionary services, be paid from the Home Mis-don Fund. It is satisfactory to be able to report that, at the suggestion of Mr. Warden, a new .system of keeping the books and account ! has been adopted by the Synod's Home Mission Committee, by which it is expected that mistakes such as those which have occurred w'U be hereafter avoided. The report was unanimously ado()ted. SalaricK. At a meeting of the Committee, in October last, it was resolved to ask the several Presbyteries of the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West, as also the Home .Mission Committee of that .Synod, to cimsider whether the time has not arrived when the salaries of nnssionaries and of ministers in aiigmeuted congregations in the Synod should be placed more on a level with those of the older Pres- byteries of the Church, to report at the Match meeting of this (Committee. At the mutiting in March communications were read from the Home Mission Committee of the Synod, and also from the Presbyteries of Winnipng and Brandon, in effect recommending that no reduction in the rate of salary be madi*, the cost of living in Manitoba being about twenty-five jier cent., and in the North- West Territories fifty per cent, in excess of the cost in Ontario and Quebec. No action was taken by the Committee. xvi. Appendix No. 1. Grants fur the Year. It was resolved from this date that grants be iiiade to the mission fields in the several Presbyteries of the North-West in the same way as to those in the other Presbyteries of the Church, viz., so much per Sabbath for services rendered ; and that in this respect the worl in the North-West be now Irought into line with that in Ontario and Quebec— only that the applications from Presbyteries, boi,-i for mission fields and augmente'haroli (and bv the first pastor of the congregation as its moderator) during the year. These fir ■'.u.nsti '.'•es r -irk t!ie rapid aid satisfactory growth of our Church in this Province. ' Thf <'•:■'. 1,i'>. xt'v ns for all jxirpoBes for the year 188() were iSSjZOO." Appendix No. 1.

The Committee resolved to recommend to tlie General Assembly that the remuneration of students for mission services in the summer months be increased to $7 per week and board, and that the distinction existing between Theological and Literary students as to remuneration be aboliahed — this recommendation to take effect from 1st April, 1888. Grants from British Churohkb. £50 stg. ; During the vear the following grants have been received : from the Church of Scotland, from the i ree Church of Scotlanti, £200 stg. ; and from the Presbyterian Church c* li eland, £250 stg. Au the meeting in March the Committee resolved to place on record an expresnioc. of its regret at the cr.nteujplated resignation of the Rev. Dr. Wilson, Convener of the Colonial Committee of the Irish Presbyterian Church, and its grateful thanks for his deep interest for many years in our Home Mission work. Montreal College Stuoknts' Missionary Societv. The Report of this Society for the past year not having been printed, the Convener has been unable to secure a copy in time for presentation to the Assembly. If it is received before the Minutes are printed it will be inserted. The Society has during the past yoar prosecuted its labours with energy and success. Queen s College Students' Missionary Society, The Missionary Association of Queen's University presents the following report for the year ending March 31st, 1887 : The object of this Association is to send out Jtudent missio»arien to the more destitute parts of our own Dominion, and to support one ordained Medical Missionary in the Foreign Field. The reason for the existence of such an Association is the. necessity of bringing students, while at College, into direct contact with mission work, both home and fortign. In addition to this, we feel that through the Association increased liberality is called forth on the part of students, graduates, and other friends. The following fields were supplied by the Association during the summer of 1886 : Ontario. MATAWATCHAN, etc. — BY A. FITZPATRICK. This is a difficult field to work, as there are many drawbacks.

The pretty villages of Byng Inlet, North and Si>uth, rest Hecurely upon their rocky fuundationa five milea up the inlet that furmH the mouth of the Ma^anetawan River. The inhaliitantn are entirely dependent upon the lumber trade carried on here by Hurton Bros, in Byng Inlet North, and by Georgian Bay Lumber Company, in Byn»; (nlet South. To the latter company are due the thankn of the Missionary .Siety records its pleasure at the movement of the students and alumni of the college having in view the support of a missionary in the foreign field ; also the valuable contributions made to the missionary department of the library during this year.

MISSION TO THE LUMBERMEN. The following is an abstract of the Lumbermen's Mission, presented to the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa by the Convener, Kev. Dr. Armstrong : As in previous years, a large ((uantity of literature has been distributed amimg the men in the lumber shanties by missionaries and colporteurs, under the auspice.s of this mission. The Kev. D. L. McKechnie, of Mattawa, the Kev. William Shearer, of .\ylwin, and tlie Rev. Joseph Gaudier, of Coulonge, have done fiiithfid service in the various lumi)er regions visited by them. Their services have been highly appreciated by the lumljermen, both English and French, Protestant and Catholic. Wholesome literature, both in French and P]ngli!ly on hand, that not only minHionaries and colporteurs may be fully sup|ilied, but that inini»tn-s, from whoHC congregations men go up to the woods in winter, may be furnishcil with books, tracts and papers to send to them as opportunity may permit.

XXIV. Appendix No. 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. HOME MISSION FUND, 1886-«7. BaUnoe from last yeur Vteabjrtery of Qaebeo. . . Montreal rts from the several Presbyteries. The income from congregational contributions ana donations is about 81,000 in advance of that of the previous year— $24,473 as compared with $23,420. The expenditure has been $29,459 as com- pared with $:U,852 in the preceding year. It may be assumed that about $'30,000 per annum will be required for some years to come if grants are to be continued on the present basis. The following grants were made, though the contributions of tne people are below the required minimum, subject to the approval of the General Assembly : Homing's Mills and Honey wood. Presbytery of Orangeville $200 per year. Kilsyth, Presbytery of Owen Sound 100 " In each of these cases, the number of communicants has greatly increased without any corres- ponding increase of financial strength. The Presbytery of Brandon asked a grant of .S;i70 for Oak Lake. The Committee declined the application on the ground that this congregation should not, in their judgment, have been erected into a pastoral charge, the field being one that should be aided from the Home Mission Fund. It was agreed to recommend to the General Assembly : (1) That the following words be added to Section VII (5) of the regulations: "or until the congregation shall h''ve been dealt with by the Presbytery and an explanation satisfactory to the Presbytery and the Committee been given." (2) That the following words be added to Section IV, Note (a) " where the number of communicants is more than double the number of families, the Committee shall have discretionary power to make a grant, even though the minimum contribution per communicant be not reached." The following tables will serve to show the present relation of the several Presbyteries to the fund, and the progress which has been made since the scheme was inaugurated in October, 1883. Table I. sets forth (as was done last year) : (1) The amount asked by the Committee from each Presbytery ; (2) The amount actually contributed ; (3) The average rate per communicant ; and (4> The grants made from the Fund to the several Presbyteries.

APPENDIX' NO. 2. REPORT OF THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE, 1886-87 (EASTERN SECTION). The year past has been, on the whole, one of prosperity in our Home Mission fields. The work has been prosecuted with a good deal of vigour, and, as the reports show, with encouraging results, in most of the Presbyteries. The Lord has been mindful of us and blessed us. He has kept our fields in peace, and our labourers in health, and has given testimony to the word of His grace, by inclining hearts to obey its call, and yield to His love. In submitting this annual report to the Assembly, the Committee very gratefully acknowledges the good hand of our God upon us, and prayerfully commits the work and the workmen to Hi» measureless grace. ORDAINED MISSIONARIES. For several years past the Committee, in conjunction with Presbyteries, has followed the plan of appointing an ordained missionary to take charge, for a year or more, of a group of. stations, so situated that they can be ministered to with some degree of regularity, by one man. This method, where it is practicable, has many obvious advantages. It approaches to the plan of the settled pastoral charge, giving to the people the benefit of periodical services in winter as well as summer, constant sessional oversight, and regular dispensation of ordinances. Some of these fields have been supplied for several years b^ the same men ; so that their organization has become nearly as perfect as that of settled congregations. A year ago the Presbytery of St. John went so heartily into this scheme that they arranged eight groups of stations, from which promises of support, ranging from $400 to $E20 for the year, were obtained. The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Presbytery, that had previously been supporting a superintendent of missions within the bounds, most generously offered ,?n0 for each of these fields ; and the Home Mission Committee agreed to supplement the salaries up to $700, Last fall a ninth labourer was added to this staff ; and this spring, while one station goes oif , becoming a settled charge, two more are added to the list. In other Presbyteries four such labourers have been at work for a part or the whole of the year and this spring the number is increased. CATECHISTS. Besides the thirteen labourers employed in the capacity of ordained missionaries, thirty-five catechists, most of whom were students of Divinity preparing for the ministry, were at work during the summer, and one of them for the whole year. These men are almost without exception full of zeal and energy, and accomplish much good while engaged in their respective fields. It is much to be regretted tliat their work cannot usually be followed up by any degree of regularitj during the winter months. As a Church we have lost heavily in the past, by not being in a position to garner the harvest of our catechists' summer sowing and watering. Not a few, ready to unite with the Church about the time of their departure from the field, finding no Presbyterian minister to take charge of them, have united with other Churches, and are active workers among them. We regret this, not because we do not rejoice in the increase and prosperity of our sister Churches, but because we find our own thereby seriously weakened, and unable to do the work she could otherwise accom- plish for our Master. With a view to ascertain how far this evil exists, the Committee, in pursuance of the injunction of Assembly, requested Presbyteries to report as to the supply they are furnishirt; the vacant mission stations during the winter. In reply, nearly all say they are appointing some ot tlieir members to give them services, as frequently and regularly as possible, but none of them state the number left without supply of stated ordinances. With our present agency an occasional service is about all that can be given. That this is not fully satisfactory all will admit ; but a more excellent way has not yet 'discovered and commended itself to the Presbyteries of our Synod. SUPPLY OF VAOANCIKS. , This department of the Committee's work has been attended to with great care every month. On the Ist of May last year, our roll of licentiates and ministers, for this purpose, numbered eleven. Of these, one was appointed at the beginning of the year to Harbor Grace, where, if he accepts their call, he will soon be settled as pastor. Three have been settled in our Synod, and the rest have withdrawn. • Of additions during the year, there were two that immediately settled, viz.. Rev. W. Calder, Mira, and Rev. A. Falconer, Prince Street, Pictou ; five have withdrawn, and nine are still with us, including five licentiates from our own college, just come on the roll. These, with Rev. W. P. 13egg, Appendix No. 2. II. just arrived from ScotI -tnd, are all we have now to supply some nineteen vacant con^i^regations. More men, likely to be called by congregationn, are needed Htill, in order to meet the wants of the s00 to support a minister. McAdam. — Prospects good. Needs a hall. Scarcity of dwellings a direct hindrance to the work. Owing to the fact that nearly every house in McAdam is an hotel, the ladies are kept busy, and can- not find time to form a circle or society, and thus aid in Church work. An organ, costing $85, has this summer been bought and paid for. McAdam should give .$200 to $800 to support a minister. This is the field now occi pied by Rev. J. W. McLennan, ordained missionary. BAILLIE AND TOWER HILL.— J. T. BLAIR, CATECHIST. " Five young men united with the Church in Tower Hill, and there is quite an interest in religion awakened amon;^ the young people of the section. The people of the field are talking minister and manse, and are likely soon to take active steps in the matter. I return at vacation to give them two oi three Sabbaths. " This the missionary did, but at the lenible cost of shattered health for the rest of the term — a warning for all students during future holidays. mechanics' SETTLEMENT.— FULTON J. COFFIN, CATECHIST. This field is a very encouraging one. The Sabbath attendance was, during the summer, exceed- ingly good, and much interest manifested in the services. Two of the stations, viz., Waterford and Markhamville, are growing villages, and with permanent supply and earnest labour this field must grow rapidly. Eleven united with the Church on profession of faith this summer. HOULTON, etc.— E. M. dill, CATECHIST. The stations of this field are (m the American side of the line. Littleton and Monticello have been hitherto regularly supplied by Rev. K. McKay, of Richmond. Houlton has had regular weekly supply this summer for the first time. The outlook is encouraging. In .-der to success there are two requisites— a church and continuous supply. Communion was dispensed at Littleton during the summer by Rev. K. McKay. Four were admitted on profession of faith. Appendix No. 2. iv, Prksbytkrv of Miramiohi. esouminac, ktc— j. k. smith, catkchi8t. My third summer in this field. Many young people have been gathered into the membership. Twenty-three were added during the past summer. A few more years' faithful working will make it a supplemented charge. NEW BAN1X)N, ETC.— W. P. m'KENZIE, CATECHIST. New Bandon has had services for many years, and a church is standing, used till the Union Church (with Clifton) is finished. People are reliable, liberal, a strength to the missionary. Clifton is the weak place , houses crowded more together, hence gossip and evil speaking ; care- lessness and drunkenness go hand in hand with irregularity in church attendance. But the children are hungry for the Gospel, and work for them will be great in result. The list is ten dollars short of what it might be through the indifference of those trusted to fulfil promises. Janeville, a farming community, has made a sudden stride to liberality, and will encourage work, especially pastoral visitation. CAKAQUET, ETC,— POTNAM CAOY, CATECHIST. As there are only three Protestant families at Caranuet, the work is limited. The French priest keeps a close watch over his people, and will not allow tnem to attend our service.^. • At Miscou Harbour and Little Shippegan the work is encouraging. Many would have united with the Church had we been able to hold communion services. The people of Little Shippegan Island attend morning service at Miscou Harbour, and the people of Miscou sail ovei to Little Shippegan for afternoon service. The French priest has little influence over the jieople here, and many attended our church services and prayer meetings. None, however, ate prepared to leave their Church. The people of these two islands have united in building a church at Miscou Harbour. All the necessary timber and nearly enough money has been secured, and the work is progressing rapidly. The people are doing the building themselves, and are anxious to complete the structure. There are only three small families at Miscou Point who permanently reside there. The others who attend the services are from other places, and remain on the island during the lobster season. These fields, separately or combined, cannot support a pastor. Still they need, and fully appreciate, the Board's assistance. They have no preaching (except once or twice at Caraquet) (luring the entire winter. Presbytery of Victoria and Richmond. THE MARGAREE STATIONS. -■!. D. M'FARLANE, CaTECHIST. At Big Intervale s ition two elders were ordained. They are conducting a prayer meeting every Sabbath forenoon. At Whale Cove station the people are very earnest. Here also a new elder was ordained, who, along with his brethren, conducts i)rayer meetings on Saljbaths and week days. Two united with the Church by profession. At Cheticantp the attendance was not very large, but I have reason to believe that good was done. I met with great kindness froui all the people — those of other denominations as well as our own. Presbytery of Piotou. ISAAC'S HARBOUR AND COUNTRY HARBOUR.— J. W, m'LEN^'AN, LICENTIATE. This is a field rich in possibilities. The attendance, especially at Country Harbour, has been excellent throughout. It was found impracticable to hold a prayer meeting at Country Harbour ; but a Bible class met weekly at Isaac's Ilarbour, with encouraging results. Prt'sbyteri.ans are few in number, but spirited, and are ready to do more if only services w«re provided in winter. Country Harbour is in a very promising, condition. It is earnestly liopetl that the Presbytery will be able ere long to make some arrangement by which these shore stations will be grouped under an energetic ordained missionary. ' • This hope is now realized, as see Appendix. WINE HARBOUR, ETC. —A. V. LOtiAN, CATECHI^sr. This field has four stations. Four new members united with the Church at Wine Harl)our, and twenty-two communed. Liscomb Mills is a good distance from Wine Harbour, ami has only four Presbyterian families. Beckerton is a Church of England community— there being otily one Presby- terian family. Holland's Harbtmr is a Baptist community, with one Presbyterian family. I gave occasional services to all these places. CAPE OEOHGE.— CHRISTOPHER MUNRO, CATECHIST. There are here twenty-two Presbyterian families. There are forty-three connnunicantf. We had regular preaching, prayer meeting and Kabbath school services on botii sides of tiie cape. The interest manifested, as well as the constantly improved attendance, was very encouraging. There is not much room for growth. Our people are surrounded by a mass of lloman Catholics, who would reKard any religious connection with them as an attempt to lead them into error. We cannot tell, however, where or when the truth may win its way effectually into tiioir hearts. Let ns n<->t be discouraged. i- V. Appendix No. 2. Presbytkry ok Truro. maccan, ktc— w. h. dkckkr, catechi8t. A new church is in process of erection at lliver Herbert. Here is held a weekly prayer meeting. Twelve names from this section were added to the communion list. HARMONY. -^ JOHN VALKNTINK, CATKCHI8T. My summer's work was pleasant, and a fair measure of progress was made. Eif^ht united with the Church, two by certificate and six by profession. Many of tlie families were very regular in attendance at church, and none wholly absented themselves. The people are j)Oor — yet during the summer they painted and otherwise improved the church, and paid the most of the catechist's expenses. Presbytkry ok Halifax. KKMPT, KTC— K. .S. m'KKNZIK, CATKCHIST. This field is in ti hopeful and encouraging condition, notwithstanding late difficulties. People appreciative of efforts made in their behalf, and eager to assist. Through attention and care this congregation may soon become strong and prosperous. Will call as soon as they can choose. KA8TKRN SHORE— WILLIAM ". TUKKTS, CATKCHIST. This is a portion of Rev. Samuel Rosborough's very heavy charge. The people are so scattered that long drives and walks are necessary to visit them, so that pastoral work is carried on with very great difficulty. Your missionary has to record his deep i;ense of gratitude to the Head of the Church for showers of blessing— for increasing attendances, for deep spiritual interest and for some gathered under the covering win^s. I conducted sixty regular preaching services, maintaining in addition, Bible classes in the various stations, and also conducting school on the Sabbath. HAY VIEW, niGBY. — JAMES M. WICKER, CATKCHIST. As to the number of families connected with each station, I may say that I counted only those that attended regularly, without regard to the different denominations represented. I visited, in all, forty-four families, some of which were not regular attendants— calling on each three or four times during the summer. The Presbyterians connected with these two stations are few in number, but very earnest, and I have reason to lielieve that my labours have not been in vain. Many told me they were benefited by my preaching. BEDFORD, ETC.- REV. GEO. CHRIS! IK, MISSIONARY. Mr. Christie has laboured in this field with fidelity and earnestness amidst many discouragements, for several years. His reports show that the Gospel is winning its way most surely against all obstacles. Additions were lately made to the session, and the jjrospects are steadily brightening. BRIDGETOWN, ETC.— REV. JOHN CAMERON, MISSIONARY. The Bridgetown station seems to be in a hopeful condition, and with Round Hill will very shortly ( and probably during the ensuing congregational year) be able to raise the amount necessary to place them under the Augmentation Scheme this is very desirable, as it would give the minister a competent support. It is impossible for a minister to live here, and do the work properly, on less than $S00 or $850, a year, and pay rent for a house. I have nothing special to add- Presbytery ok Lunenburg and Shklburnk. , bivkrsdale, etc.— bev. h. crawford, missionary. The missionary here has been 'pnte suceessful in his work, as he has been abundant in labours. The field has all the advantages of a settled charge. The families are not numerous, and they are very scattered, but are well overtaken by the missionary, and by their contributions show that they ap- preciate his work. Presbytkry ok Wallace. PUOWASH AND OXFORD. This ii- ohe Rev. J. A. McKenzie's charsre. About the beginning of thi year 1886 he asked thro\ ;h his Presbytery for the assistance of Mr. W. R.

In his report Mr. Sutherland says, "I went regularly when weather r^ad roads would permit to Mount IMeasant every Tuesday evening, Birch Ridge, Friday Appendix No. 2. vk evening, South Victoria, Saturday evening and, for three months in summer, to Duck Creek and Eel Creek alternately Wednesday evening, and for eight months taught a Bible class Mondat evenings in Oxford.

APPENDIX NO. 3. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SUPPLEMENTS (EASTERN SECTION). The Committee on Supplements thankfully report to the General Assembly that, during the past year success has again crowned their efforts. In consequence of the action of Presbyteries In the development of self-support, they were in a position to ask for $1,000 less than at the beginning of the previous year. The whole matter was verv fully laid before the Synod, last October, and an estimate of $9,000 was presented, as the probable amount needed for the year. That amount the Synod allotted to the different Presbyteries for collection from their congregations. The following summary shows what was asked and what has been realized.

Total receipts, .$8,566.49. That 132 congregations within the bounds of the Synod have contributed all that they wore asked for, as against 118 for the previous year : that 33 more have made partial payments, and that only 13, about the half of which are vacant, have failed to contribute, shows clearly that there has been a general and very earnest endeavour, on the part of Presbyteries, to do what was expected ftf them ; and that congregations, also, for the most part, have responded to their appeals. It would be more gratifying were there no blanks at all ; but it will be noticed that, of the 13 coni,'regation8 that are blank, seven are vacant, rendering it more ditticult for Presbyteries to deal with them. The position of the Augmentation Scheme, at the close of the financial year, may be thus rvresented : Balance cm hand May 1, 1886 $4,740 79 Receipts for year ended May 1, 1887 8,566 49 Payments from Supplementary Fund .$3,683 M " Surplus Fund 4,044 98 Proportion agent's salary 313 00 Travelling expenses of Committee 69 62 Other expenses 74 62 $13,307 28 *,18-) 76 Balance on hand May 1, 1887 $5,121 .52 The Committee, in an Appendix, present a list of supplemented congregations for the current year for the Assembly's approv.al. The list shows that 51 applications huve been made, of which 35 have been recommended to the Assembly. In regard to tlie remainder, power \f, respectfiilly asked to deal with them at a latPi' date, when the information necessary to enable the Committee tu treat them in accordance with the Assembly's Rules shall have been laid before it. It is probable that, according to the figures shown in the list, when allowance is made for vacancies and some other reductions, the retiuirements of the /and will be a little less than last year. We are persuaded that the experience of the benefits which the fund has conferred on our weak congregations and on the pastors of our supplemented charges will fully satisfy our people of the necessity for its C(mtinuance in the fullest vigour. It is quite plain, from the many new applications for admission to the benefits of the fund, that much reduction in the future will be impossible ; and that the only way an increase can be avoided is by Presl. . ..eries and congregations conjointly putting forth every effort for the fullest measure of self-help. The Committee are deeply grateful for past success ; for the future they commit the scheme to the intelligent and prayerful consideration of our people and to the blessing of the Church's Loving Head .

Oliver, M.D., Indore. During the year that haa paaaed away since the last report was presented, the attention of the Christian Church has been directed to Foreign Missions as seldom before. This remark may ap ily to Heveral years bygone. But we are conscious of a rising tide of interest in this great work. For many years the prayer of the Church was that the Lord might open doora of entrance into landn long barred against the Gospel. That prayer has been answered : it may be said with almost literal truth that every door ia open now. For many years, too, it was the prayer of the Chiirch that the Lord might raise up and qualify labourers willing to go forth into the great harvest-field of the Gospel. That prayer also haa been answered. There are men and women, in numbers that a little while ago would have seemed incredible, full of faith and courage, ready to give themselves to the Lord in this service. Many are ready to go, whom the Committee, for want of means, ia not yet able to send forth. But the work is the Lord's. He who has opened up ways of access into heathen lands, and who has touched the hearts of many loving disciples, so that they are saying, " Here am I ; send me," can likewise so replenish the treasury of the Church, that she shall be able to send out thoxe who are eager to give to this work the service of their lives. In such a .• and the necessity for extreme caution in extending our work there, and in lew of the urgent need of our own North-VVest Territories, and the ever-increasing demands of our other missions, and of the new, large and populous fields thrust, by the providence of God, upon our attention, it was resolved that action looking to the appointment of an additithen have joined us, part of whom have moved from tl^e interio and settled at Bufa. More are soon to follow. " My stock of gods is gradually increasing. A day or two after the death of the sacred woman of Fila, which took place about two months ago, I received two. One of them is in the shape of a ring and is about three inches in diameter. It looks as if made from a large bivalve shell. It is the god of Fila ; and so Fila is won for Christ at last. It is the strongest fortress on this ^ of the island yet taken from the enemy, and has endured a long siege. "A number of the young men of Fila have lately joined our candidates' class. "A few weeks ago the natives of that village completed a commodious and substantial lime church." Verily the word of the Lord hath not returned unto Him void. Mr. McKenzie appends the following statistics : Prof sed Christians, 600, 200 of whom gave up heathenism during the pest yt,:\r ; Church members in gooa itanding, 129 ; Christian marriages during the year, 13 ; Children attending school, 90. Appendix No. 4. Iv. KKOMANOA. Our miRBionary here, the Rev. H. A. Robertxon, has furnished most minute and exhaustive reports of all phases of native Christian life, ex|)erience and work. He mourns over the sad effects of centuries of heathenism on the character of even those evidently brought under the power of the Gospel. After speaking of the unwillingnoss and, indeed, inability of the natives to make any continued mental application, their natural laziness, their readiness to be leil away by the fair speech and cheap gifts of the masters of the lalKiur vessels, and to forsake the instructioor blinded peof>le, to make the work more His own and less man's, and to keep us from despondency in its prosecution." But with the mention of these and other iliscouragements, certainly to be expected in the case of A peo])le so recently shown the true light, he fills pages with most interesting information ciincerning the diligence, liberality anti zeal for the propagation of the truth displayed by many of the native converts. After describing the work done for the imprr vement of mission premises by the missionary and the better class of natives, the report goes on : SCHOOLS. For the whole island — twenty-five district school-houses kept up, seven of these built within the year ; thirtv-five teachers engaged. These are morning schools, five mornings each week for reading. Opened and closed with praise and prayer. Special class for women, girls and boys, taught by Mrs. Robertson during the months of January, February and March, attendance from twenty-five to forty. Bible class, every Sabbath at 3 p.m. Candidates' class, every Wednesday afternoon. A class for young men and teachers conducted from January Ist up to 20tli April, attended very regularly by twenty-five men and five women. Progress encouraging, H|ieciiilly so with a small number. Sul)ject8 attempted : reading, writing, arithmetic, geography and Bible history. The above class taught by the missionary this year, in the forenoon, which he has found an improvement. BOOKS, ETC. Our good and obliging agent. Rev. Dr. Steel, kindly got hOf^ copies of Matthew and Mark bound for us very nicely, and also got 1000 hymn books (a new edition) printed ami bound this year in Sydney. These books are vefy nearly all in the hands of the natives, and they were greatly plea.^ed to receive them. Many of them never had a hymn book bef.)re, and the others were ;,'lad to get new books with large, clear type. Mr. Laurie this year has kindly printed almanacs for us. This print- ins and binding in Sydney, the natives have paid for, or T have for them, out of proceeds of arrow- root sales. We have refunded, or very nearly, what the Bible Society paid for printing done -or us in Toronto. I have some thought of correcting Mr. Gordon's translation of Genesis, this summer, and of accepting the Bible Society'.? oiler, made through Dr. Steel, to print it for us in London. SACR-^MKNTS, ETC. The sacrament of the Supi)er was dispensed in Dill,'i8t protestations of non-interference, the French have combined active measure* for the control of the Now Hebrides. In August, Mr. McKenzie wrote : " About the beginning of June a dark cloud began to gather over us. We were notified by the French that they had established a military post in our island. We were daily ex|)ecting to hear that they had annexed the group. So far, however, they have not done so." In November he says : "A French military iv)st, as you are aware, was established on this island some months aKo. ostensibly to protect their settlers, but virtually, I believe, and indeed the settlers assert this, the first step towards annexation. I don't believe they ever had the slightest idea of removing their BoMiers. I hope I may be mistaken in this, but present appearances do not look as if I am." In a late note from Dr. Steel, our agent in Sydney, N. S. W., there occurs this aignificiuit statement : "The French, I fear, are intending to occupy the New Hebrides permanently. They are now erecting durable premises for their soldiers and others." The Jesuit missionary is following in the track of the French soldier. Dr. Steel says that already several missionary priests are settling on the island of Espiritu Santo, and that their agents have been inquiring for all books, maps, etc., of the New Hebrides ; this is ominous. Mr. Annand, writing from Sydney, March I8th, says : " According to reports four priests have been taken to tiie islands to work among the natives -two settling on Efate, and two on Santo." Speaking of the fear of their coming, Mr. McKenzie says : " I need not be informed, though one of the French settlers had the kindness to tell me, that they will oppose themselves to our work." It thus appears that French aggression, and with it an invasion of Jesuit missionaries, loomo up as an obstacle which must be faced in the further prosecution of this mission. THK "DAVaPUING." The missionary vessel, Dayaprinv, made two runs as usual, between Australia and the Islands' serving the missi(m by carrying missionaries and their goods to theclesired points. But she is neither large enough nor 8i)eedy enou'^'h to meet all the demands upon her now. Dr. Steel writes : "On last voyage of Daytpriruj a very large quantity of goods had to be left, which has occasioned much incon- venience. Next trip threatens to be worse, as there will be Hve new houses and boats to go for the new missicmaries, besides what is left, and the extra stores for increased staff. It is absolutely necessary to charter an additional vessel for this trip." In this connection the Committee note, with thankf\ilnesa, the receipt of a bequest of §500, by the late .Vliss Medley Fairweather, for the purpose of aiding in the purchase of a new missionary vessel. It will be forwarded to the proper parties in Australia as soon as the de6nite decision is reached on the question of [jroviding e,\xv\\ a vessel. We urge strongly on all our Sabbath Schools to considtir the im(»ortance of the Bui/sprin;) to the mission, and the necessity for attending to the OoUectionj for her maintenance. Thirteen or fourteen hundred dollars ought easily to be raised by our Siibbath schools for this object, besides $:j,Oi)0 for mission schools in Trinidad. The receipts this year approximate the expenditure ; but only because several liberal contributions came down from the Western Section of the Church. XL— WEST INDIES AND DEMERARA. The Rev. W. L. Macllae, who offered his services in the place of the late 'amented Mr. McLeodj started last September for his field of labour, accompanied by his wife. On the I'Jth of October he was inducted by the Presbytery of Trinidad into the mission charge of Princestown. The occasion is particularly memorable on account of the excellent address of the Rev. Lai Behari to the assembled congregation of East Indian immigrants. This native preacher is one of the fruits of this mission, and the harbinger, we have no doul)t, of a full force of native pastors soon to appear and take up the work in Trinidad and the surrounding islands. Ill health caused the withdrawal of Miss Hilton from the work. Miss Semple was prostrated in October, and had to visit her native land to recover health. She is n(-w nearly restoreil, and will soon return to her post. In her absence Miss Blackaddur had charge of her school at Tacarigua, and temporary provision was made for the Princestown school. It has been arranged that, hereafter. Miss Semple will work at Princestown, and that Miss Blackadder will continue with Mr. Mortem. Miss Archibald was appointed last summer, as a teacher in Couva. She commenced her work there in December, and has commended herself to the confidence and esteem of both missionary and people. Mr. Hendrie, the missionary of the U. P. Church at St. Joseph, has been absent for most of the year on sick leave, and may not return for some time to come. In his absence our missionaries have cai'ried on his work with the help of native agents. Mr. Morton writes thus ; TUNAPUNA DISTRICT. " Sunday schools liad the following attendance : Tunapuna, .'57 ; Tacarigua, 81 ; Arouca, 19 ; Orange (irove, 2ii ; Red Hill, 22. Total, 185. A system of uniform weekly Scripture lessons was followed during the year. In this way twenty-five lessons from the Gospels and fifteen from Genesis were gone over, and the key text of each committed. The system worked well, and while it left the more intelligent teachers to a large extent free, it set before all a definite lesion to be taught, and on the previous S.aturday the native teachers and monitors wore themselves instructed in the subject. One new Hindi hymn was committed each month, and the children taught to sing it to an apiH'opriate Indian tune. This helped to keep up the interest and diligence of both teachers and children, and the advantage of it was easily seen when the chihlren of the ditferent schools met together, as they did at the opening of our new church. " Catechist's Work.— Ajodhya has been my catechist for the greater part of the year. He is a. man past middle age, without family ties, and knowing very little English. He is, however, familiar ■^"N^- 'V .1. 'e meMure» Appendix No. 4. VI. with ({in
  • ii){ his ciiiMitrymen, hold meetings, and teach them to Hinur, sometimen until far into the ni(;ht, when he titxU them interexted. Ajmlhya in taking the circuits allotted to him was often absent for days. There is no doubt that men of his class can be most useful in such work. " My own work ccmsisted of a Bible class and three servi'ies on Sabbath with all that is implied in attention to schwds, the sick, personal visitation and outuuor services during the week. " In the school and Sunday school work, the sintfing, and in work among the women, Mrs. Morton rendered her usual assistance. " In November I was absent twenty days on a visit to St. Lucia, where I baptized ten adult* and nine children, a special report of which has already been presented. " Tiie baotisins at Tunapima for I88(i were nine — four adults and live children. The marriages^ were five, and the number of communicants in ^'ood st^ndin;; is twenty." llev. K. J. Grant writes ; SAN KERNANIK) DIHTHICT. " Your missionaries have always attached great importance to native helpers. Some on the list have proved invaluable. Ten years ago the Mission Council considered what means could be adopted for their training. About that time a youiig minister indicated his willingness to your Board to go to Trinidad if this special work was a'^sii^ued to him. As no r.gent had been appointed, each missionary did his best in his own si)here. More than two years ago, Mr. McLeod, being too weuk for general work, was apiiointed here, and with the approval of your Board, to do what his strength luii^ht enable him in this department. He vi.sited our districts in turn as he ha i 1 1 1 Income.

Mr. Morton made a tour of that island last summer, and effected arrangements whereby a catechist will labour there and open up a number of schools. The (Government gives £150, and the Committee has voted i'50 more asked for by the Mission Council. It is very encouraging to see the work thus hopefully ixtending. The Committee can only regret that means for further development are not now available. IX. Appendix No. 4. DEMKRARA. The misainn started, two years ag'o, among the Coolies of the West Coast, Demerara, by the Rev. John Gibson, is not behind its neighbour in Trinidad in promise of );reat success and usefulness. It has fallen on evil days Hnancialiy, but we trust for only a brief period. The P. M. S. of Demerara, promised £200 of the £400 salary to be paid the missionary. Last year, through the failure in the sugar trade, the subscriptions to the society fell off to such an extent that they felt obliged to notify our Church that they could not fulfil their promises. Fortunately, however, their fears were not realized, and they were able to meet their obligations. This year, again, the same trial, in an aggravated form, is upon them and they have asked us if we will assume the responsibility of the whole of Mr. Gibson's salary for a time. After describing the work of four schools in o])"ration during the year, Mr. Gibson goes on thus : " The principal Sabbath service ha? been held at Uitolung. The average attendance of adults has varied from twenty to fifty ; of children from sixty to a hundred and twenty. "The Hindustani language is the chief m^'Mum of Scriptural instruction. " Eighteen persons have been baptized, hfteen adults and three children. " Fifteen names have been ailded to the Communion roll, five by certificate, ten by profession. The present number of communicants is thirty-one. " The number of baptized persons is fifty-six ; forty-six adults and ten children. " Three marriages have been performed. " Tne collections for the year amounted to .^41. 48. " Twelve estates, ten hospitals, and five villages have been visited." 8TATK OP THE FUND. Total expemliture for the year $20,608 36 " receipts 20,432.% Expenditure above receipts 175 80 Del)t last year 2,030 23 Presentdebt $2,206 03 The receipts include £100 stg., transmitted by the Western Division through this office, for salary of Rev. Mr. Gibson, Demarara ; and £100 stg., first payment by the Free Church of Scotland, for the mission premises at Anelcanbat Aneyteum, and forwarded to Dr. Steel ir>;' the opening of Mr. Annand's new station. They also include $800, kindly provided by the Western Woman's Foreign Missionary Society : about $1,000 sent through Dr. Reid and Rev. R. H. Warden, by western friends. Sabbath schools, and others, principally for special objects ; and upwurds of $900 for "Santo Mission," a portion of •which is from the west. The remainder, about $17,000, was contributed by the Eastern Section of the Church. Of this sum, the Eastern Woman's Foreign Mission Society gave $1,740, being $140 more than they had promised ; and ladies societies, within several of the C(mgregation8, contributed about $300. But for the aid furnished by the women. West and East, the fund would be much farther behind than it is. The Committee tenders them hearty thanks for their assistance. In this connection it is due to the Government of Trinidad, to recognize its kind support of the mission schools on the island. The Governor, Sir Wm. Robinson, personally visited some of the schools, and addressed the pupils in a way that showed his high appreciation of the work. The proprietors of estates also.as in past years, contributed liberally to the support of the mission. A glance at the Trinidad aoccmnts shows that the Government and the proprietors gave respectively £8 16, 8s. 6d. , and £735. This is a clear token of their hearty good will. III.— MISSION TO THK INDIANS OF THE NORTH-WEST. The Executive Committee for Manitobv and the North-West, ajjpointed by the General Assembly's Foreign Mission ConiniitteH, beg leave to present their rejwrt for the past year : Since the last report was presentetl a group of four new reserves lias been taken up, and the work has been faithfully c:UTie;l on by missionaries in all our older reserves. Much good seed has been sown, and it is our hope and i)raver th;vt in due time an abund?nt harvest will be gathered in. Progress is visible along almost all the lino. Generally speaking, when we consider the progress made in any of our reserves during the course of one year, it is difficult to discover much improve- ment ; but when we include several years in our review the progress is marked and encournging. Anil when we contrast the present condition of our older reserves with what they were when we began our labours upon them, we are struck with the change. Barbarism has in sever.il of them given place to civilization, paganism to Christianity. The transformation may not in any case be as thorough us we could wish ; hut that it is as marked as it is at such missions as the Mis-ta-was-sis, Okanase and Bird-Tail reserves, gives encourage:nent for the future. The reserves under the cate of our Church are, in most instances, situated close to some one or other of the chief rivers of the country. In order, therefore, to make it easy to form a clearer idea of Appendix No. 4, X. their relative situation, and thus to awaken and deepen an interest in our work, the several reserves will be mentioned, not in their chronological order, but in the order of their location along or near these rivers. On this principle the first to be mentioned is THE STONY PLAIN BK3KRVK. This reserve is on the north side of the north branch of the Saskktchewan, not far from Edmonton. It is under Chief Enoch Lapotac, and has a population of about one hundred and oixty. There are some thirty-flve children of school age. Our school here is under the care of Mr. M. Anderson. It was in a most flourishing condition until two or thrue months a'.,'o, when a rival school was opened on the reserve by the Roman Catholics of St Albert Mission. The Indians had through their council formally and unanimously asked for the opening of our school, and they made no request, they expressed no wish, for this rival school. Its establishment was, therefore, quite unexpected, and most unwarrantable. In spite of the energetic protests, both of the llev. A. B. Baird and your Com- mittee, the Roman Catholic school has been sanctioned by the Indian Department, acting on its " rule of non-interference in matters ecclesiastical in connection with the Indian reserves and bands." Notwithstanding this severe blow, our school is rallyini; again. At the end of April the average attendance was eighteen— but little below its average .at the corresponding date last year. Our teacher and his wife are doing excellent work and are popular with their people. The pupils are taught not only the elements of an English education, but the boy.s are taught gardening, carpentry, etc., I)y Mr. Anderson, and the girls, house-kee])ing, knitting and sewing, by Mrs. Anderson. Mr. Baird and his congregation take an active interest in this reserve, an I give much support and enci>uragement to our missionary. • .Vbout 3.50 miles east of this reserve, also on the north side of the north branch of the Saskat- chewan, and a few miles from Fort Carlton, is MIS-TA-WAS-SIS" KKSKRV8. Here the number of Indians is 204, of families, forty-cme, under the Christian Chief Mis-ta-was-sis, Their missionary, the Rev. .John Mackay, reports progress ih the material pr()S|)erity of his peoide. They had a good crop of wheat last year, part of which they sold, and at good prices. And the In(iian Department reports that "this band has substantial houses, well fenced Helds, large nuudiers of cattle, etc.," and is making "most commendable progress." Mr. Mackay reports progress in spiritual things also. Thirty-nine communicants— six of whom were new members— lately participated in the sacrament of the supper. Tiie occasion was most solemn and impressive. The little meeting-house was crowded. A church that will accommodate ivbout eighty is now in course of erection, aided by a small grant of money from your C/'oinmittee. The Sunday-school is taught by Mrs. Mackay and her two (laughters. The Government school on this reserve is taught by Miss tJhr'stina .Vlackay, and is very favourably noticed by the Department ; and most of the grown up people on the reserve can read nnd write their own language with ease. The Chief paid a visit to Ontario la.st sunnner, and was ','reatly amazed at what he saw, and much pleased with the reception given him by those of our church people in the east whom he met. Descending the Saskatchewan sixty or .seventy miles, we come to the town of PRINCK ALBERT. Here there is an excellent High School under Presbyterian control, in which the right of free tuition is secured for Indian children. This school is under the charge of Ifev. A. Canipbell, B.A., and IJev. Dr. Jardine. To this school the Foreign Mission Ccmindttee h.as made a grant of §liOO per annum, in accordance " ith t'.ie direction of the Assembly of 1884. '1 his grant termiiiates with the present year. The Prince Albert conu'icgation aie, according to their agreement, jireparing to erect suitable buildings for High School jjurposes the coming summer. This will be a great help to the school, and when suitable accommodation is proviiled for boarders from a distance its usefulness will he enhanced, and it will provo a great boon to that portion of the territories in which it is situated. These are all the points taken up by us on the great Saskatchewan. About "JOQ miles to the south-east of Prince Albert, on the south bank of the Qu'Appelle river, is OHIKK PIAPOT's RESERVE. In this group there are three reserves, Piapot's, Muscowpetung's, and Pasquah's, with an aggie- frate impulation of about 700— more than 100 less than the number re| orted last yeai. This diminu- tion is cau.sed by the withdrawal of half-breeds, to enable them to share in land s-crip. Piajiot i-t the mo.st cunning and unprincipled of the chiefs with whom we have to ilo. He is a great " mt-dicine man '' and conjurer, and knows that his occupation will go as soon as his people become enlightened. He therefore does all in his power to thwart our efforts for the ediicatiim of the children of his biiiid. Our teacher here, Miss Hose, speaks gratefully of her indebtedness to the Commis.sioner (Jovernor Uewduey, for his genuine interest in her work, and the great help and encouragement he has afforded her in her difficult and trying circumstances. The school, notwithstanding many drawbacks, is doing very well. It has now been about nine months in operation, and the third quarter was the best, the ixttendance for a while reaching thirty. In addition to the ordinary school work, Miss Rose, with the valuable help of her aged mother, teaches the women bread-making, knitting, etc. Your Comudttee has at last succeeded in securing a suitable missionary for this important field. The Kev. W. S. Moore, of Yorktim, N.-W. T., who last year completed his theological comx- at Manitoba College, has been appointed missionary to this group, and will enter on his labours as .-I'lon as he is released from his present charge by the Presbytery of Hegina. .A.lK)Ut twenty-five miles west of Piapot's Reserve, at the foot of Long Lake, is the site chosen for THK INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, Which the Government has agreed to place under our charge. Unforeseen diftiodties have arisen in procuring a valid title to the land selected for a site, and building operations have not yet commenced. .(.. ■ ,.. i , Zl. Appendix No. 4, The Department hopes that these difBculties will ooon be removed and the work of erection begun. The plans and specifications are in course of preparation, and they are said to call for a very com- {>lete establishment. It is not creditable to the executive capacity of the Indian Lepartment that, no ong a delay has occurred. About fifty miles south-east of Piapot's Reserve, and on the same side of the Qu'Appelle, ten or twelve miles south of Indian Head, is THB ASSIMIBOINB RESKRVE. This reserve has a population of some 260, under Chief Jack. They are Assiniboines, and speak a dialect of the Sioux. Up to the end of December our school here was taught by Mr. James Scott. He did good work, and was as successful as could be expected among a band of pagans. Since the beginning of the current, year Mr. John McLean has been in charge of the school. He also is putting forth faithful and earnest efforts for the temporal and spiritual welfare of his flock. His attendance at present is twelve. The people on this reserve see no benefit to be derived from either school or church. It is, tiierefore, difficult and discouraging work to awaken their interest in higher things. But this is nothing new in the history of missions to the heathen. Patient and prayerful eflfort will in the end be crowned with success. The noKt group of reserves is the one last taken up by your Committee. It is known as the FILE HILLS. This group consists of ftnir reserves, situated on the nonth side of the Qu'Appelle, about eighteen miles north-east of Fort Qu'Appelle. The population is about 400, all pagans ; and they caused great anxiety to the surrounding settlers during the late rebellion. Our school was opened here last Sep- tember, by Mr. R. N. Toms, aud he writes in a very hopeful spirit of his work among both old ^nd young. He has twenty-eight names on his roll, and a fair average. There is room here for con- siderable expansion, and it will be necessary to erect a mission-house and an additional school-house ere long. About sixty miles to the south-east of this group, on the south side of the Qu'Appelle, are the BOUND AND CROOKED LAKE3 HK8ERVK8. Our missionary here is the Rev. Hugh McKay. The population of the four reserves ii» about 900. It is now nearly three years since Mr. McKay began his labours among them, and fruitful years they have been. Services are held rogularly at Round Lake with an attendance that some- times reaches forty, some of the Indians travelling as far as twenty miles to hear the Gospel. There is a communion roll of twelve members, and a good many others are anxious for further instruction. The school has just closed after a five months' session — the most successful yet held. It had the large attendance of thirty-three. It is conducted on the boarding-school plan. The children receive food, loilging and clothing, as well as instruction through Mr. McKay and his faitiit'ul assistants. The clothing, as on the other reserves, came from the generous hands of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society. Food costs about $700, a littl > more than half of which was supplied by the kind gifts of the eastern friends. The Rev. B. JoTiea and Mrs. Jones enthusiastically second Mr. McKay's efforts, and render most valuable assistance. Jacob Bear, too, a Christian Cree, renders efficient service. Last summer Mr. McKay spent $000 in building a school, and is revolving large schemes for expansion in the same direction for the coming summer. With the aid of a grant of $500 from your Committee, with the help of contributi." We are not, however, to suppose that the teachor and his friends, referred to by Mr. Gi.lm, were forgotten or neglected. He says, " When we returned, a preacher and his wife was sent to that place. We don't count it among the thirty-eight." MISSIONARY AND KVANOELISTIC WOUK, Mr. tiamieson, in a letter of date March 24 1887, says: " It was decided that, in the early part of this month, all the stations should hp visited, in order to dispense the Communion, and receive new members. For this purpose we divided the field ; Dr. Mlackay and Rev. Mr. Giilm going to Kap-tsu-Ian ; Rev. Tan-He taking Tam-sui district, that is, his own congregation (Sin-tiam) SM<\ the stations adjacent, while I was to nsit the Tek-chham district. Setting out, I spent a Sabbath at Go-ko-khi, where is one of the recently erected chapels. Next to Tam-sui, this is the oldest station in the field. In the early days of the missiim, converts came long distances to worship here ; now they have chapels of their own. It is a country station, and a young Jtian is in charge, who promises to be a useful worker. " Mention has already been made of Mr. Jamieson's work in the subsequent part of this tour. He adils, "I found the preachers each at his post, and the chapels, as usual, clean and in order. It may seem to you strange that we should refer to church buildings being clean, but to us here, accustomed to seeing other places anything but clean, the contrast is striking ; and we greatly enjoy a comfortable night's rest m one of these chapels, not having to be so very careful about contact with our surroundings. • _ • _ • I always go to some station inland from Tam-sui for Sabbath services, and generally find the sitting-room in the chapels fairly occupied." Rev. Tan-He, pastor at Sin-tiam, writes : " My dear friend, I do not know how to thank you for tieing so kind as to send me a letter. Well, I am every day at work in Sin-tiam. Here and at other stations round about, I have baptized a. hundred : that is, at Sin-tiam forty-seven, at Pat-li- hun, eleven ; at Go-Ko-khi eleven ; at Chin-nih four ; at Lim-a-teng four ; at To-tin-tia twelve ; at Tein-tng-kha nineteen ; at Bang-kah eleven. I dispensed the Lord's Supper, and had packed houses in the three new stone churches. I never wrote before ; but if I could write a month without stoj)- piiig, I could not tell you of all the toil, labour and success of our beloved Mackay. We will never, never, see a man like him again. I visit over a thousand sick people in a year. Yours sincerely, Tan-He." About Rev. Tan-He's congregation at Sin-tiam, Mr. tiamieson says: "Last Sabbath (March 20) I was at Sin-tiam ; and, on arriving on Saturday afternoon, I heard a number of children busy with their lessons in the schoolroom adjoining. Most of these are children of church members, and the teacher here is an old convert. They sang a number of hymns before being dismissed for the day. At the service on Sabbath forenoon the children were seated on the front benches, and were attentive hearers. At this station Rev. Tan-He is the faithful and beloved pastor ; and, had it not been that nearly all of the members, pastor included, had their property stolen from them at the time of the French attack, the congregation would have been self-supporting by this time." Dr. Mackay, after referring to the district assigned to Mr. Jc.mieson, and to that assigned to Rev. Tan-He, goes on to tell of the part taken by Rev, Giam-chheng (A-hoa) and himself in this evangelistic tour. As his description brings the nature of the work and its blessed results vividly before us, we give very full extracts from it. " We started on the 27th February for Bang-kah, accompanied by Mr. A. C. C^^lman, formerly of Central Presbyterian Church, Toronto. In the afternoon I preached to a large and interesting congregation. On Monday, the 28th, we began what I rejoice to call a triumphal march. Passing through Sek-khau and "Tsin-tuj^-kha, we arrived in due time at Ke-lung, pressed on to Palm Island, then back again to remain for tiie night. Tuesday, March 1st, under heavy rain, we made our way to Teng-siang-khoe, a large Chinese town, whore a new stone chapel is going up, and will soon be finished ; but in the meantime will be thatched with gr.oss. Fifty crossed the river and welcomed us, saying that they would become converts at once. We spent the night in a damp, filthy hovel. I extracted many teeth, and spoke to many people. Wednesday, 2nd, we struck towards the sea, and arrived at a Pi-po-hoan village, referred to before. i Tlie preacher did good work, and in the evening A-hda and myself baptized 32 (thirty-two), 350 (three hundred and fifty) being present. Thursday, 3rd, pressed on to La-ma-ien (Margaret Machar ^iemorial Church), and in the evening baptized 23 (twenty-three), 156 (one hundred and fifty-six) of our people being present. Friday, 4th, under heavy rain, moved on to Bu-loan, where at noon we 1 baptized 26 (twenty-six). Then preached to 100 (one hundred) ; afterwards passed through La-kiet- a koe, extracted teeth, preached, and made for Lang-mng-than (Glengarrv Church) ; baptized I'J I (nineteen), and preached to 140 (one hundred and forty). San^ till midnight. Saturday, 5th. In I the morning went to La-na-bi, baptized 6, and preached to sixty of our people, then at quick 1 march came to Pho-lo-sin-a-oan, baptized 3, 80 (eighty) converts being present. Hurried cm jto San-hut (James Memorial Church) baptized 4, and addressed 130 (one nundred and thirty).

Went on then to Ka-le-oan, and under a banyan Itree, on a bench, I spoke of Gjd's Omnipresence, baptized 8, !)0 (ninety) being there. Still |iin to Lam-hong-o, at So-ba. In the evening, in the Mackay chapel, we had the Lord's jSunper— about 100 communed ; the building was packed ; we sang till midnight. Monday 7th. lliettand came through So-bag, saw twenty savages, fierce and wild, extracted many teeth, and Iproceeded over dangerous ground to Ki-bu-lan ; we baptized 10 in the evening, and preached Ito 113 (one hundred and thirteen). I slept in a grass hut, put chaff on the damp ground, Mr. IColman stayed in the chapel, which was built by the people themselves. Tuesaay, 8th. We Ipassed through Tang-koe-soa, and extracted teeth, then on to Lo-tong, a Chinese town, and about Inoon came to A-li-sai, where two lovely deer were kept to present to me. An ox was soon killed, jthen a pig, etc. After dinner we went to Chheng-kui-sia, also to Pat-li-sa, also to Geh-bai. The ■valley is wide at the mouth, and narrow inland. Wooded mountains are on each side, and there the Ravages roam. Men digging in the fields had long spears stuck in the ground only a few feet from Ithem. But in the evening at A-li-sai, oh ! how it made up for sorrow and toil. Just in front M the house, which was freely given us, a platform was erected, the ground awept, then about a I i : i -■} " 1 XV. Appendix No, 4. dozen bamboo polea on each side of the open apace had oil poured in, which of course onljr went t< the first joint, paper waa then put in antl lighted, and 500 (five hundred) by actual counting atoml before us. A-hda and I preached the everlasting (ioapel ; only half a mile away in the woods were the savages, no doubt looking on. The moon was bright. O memory of days gone by— days a dozen years ago— days spent for Christ. I don't know what you all think of what I write ; but yonder in that weird, strange, vet sublime church, with mountains for walls, the ground for floor, the heaven- for roof, we fearleaaly, yet lovingly told of 'Jdsua of Nazareth paasinj; by,' Wednesday, 9th. Went on to Chin-tsu-bi-kau, again preached outside, baptized 12, 330 (three hundred and thirty) beins there. The people killed an ox ; we sang till after midnight. Glorious ! Thursday, 10th. \Vh proceeded to Pi-thau, and about noon in the chapel baptized 13, 140 (one hundred and forty) beini; present. On then to Lau-lan-a, and in the evening h^ld our meeting outside, baptized 12, 1,51 (one hundred and fifty one) being in attendance. Friday, 11th. Marched on to Ki-liap-pan, in the chapel preached, 140 being hearers, all our own people. In the eveninc; we were at Hoan-aia-thau, where an ox was killed, and also a pig, baptized 12, 130 (one hundred and thirty) were moat earnest hearers. Saturday, i2th, went to Lin-a-hau, at noon addressed l(i0 outside under the sun. Hurried on ti> Ki-bri-lau, baptized 8, 65 (sixty-five) converts in attendance. Late arrived at Loa-tek-ui, and in the chapel baptized 4, 70 (aeventy) present. Sunday, 13th. Forenoon at Ki-liap-tau, baptized 12, 130. (one hundred and thirty) present,, In the evening at La-ma-ien, whei-e 18 (eighteen) preachers ami 214 converts met. We commemorated the love of Jeaus who died for us. I preached, followad by A-hda's usual aenaible words. Then I met all my old student , the preachers, and had a word witli them, then with ciders and deacons, and aang till long paat midnight. Tn all we baptized 214 (two hundred and fourteen), and addreased between two and three thouaanu . '' our converts (by actual counting we know), and don't gueaa about the matter. So much of our triumphal march. I met witli nothing but kindness all the way through, but there is no time to rest. ' Fight on my soul, fight on. Not for name — not for fame— not for gold- -not for man ; but oh. Lord God, let me die under thi blood-stained banner, and join in crowning Jksus Lord ok all. Farewell. Ever yours. 'G. L. Mackav.'" -STATISTICS OF CHURCH IN NOHi" FORMOSA. The whole number of baptisms since the last Annual Repo» c < ^hose already mentioned and one at Tekchham,) is 315. " liaat year," says Dr. Mackay, "we ha >i ourroll 2,247. Three hundred and fifteen, added to that number, would make 2,562 ; but 16 hav ; ied, so that our present number of baptized members is 2,546. Of theae 53 are ordained eldera ; 45 are deacons ; and two are pastors. At this date we have 38 preaching stations "nd ^8 preachera ; two teachers (native) in the college, and 20 studenta. We have nine stone .tjiies, viz. : at Chin-nih, Soa-tin-tia, Bang-kah. Sin-tiaro, Sek-khau, 'Coe-tang, Teng-siang-khoe, Ki-lip-tan, and the Mackay church at Lam-hongo. Two of them have gri^s roofs at present, all the rest are tiled. " EDUCATION. Referring to the students. Dr. Mackay aaya : "Beginning in May, 1886, I had studenta purs .i:i. their atudiea till Christmas . . . During October, November, and December, they were with me in Bang-kah, where I had a better chance of drilling them. In January this year, all came out to Oxford College (Tam-sui), to give one entire month to their own language and classics. Then thi> month (February) was devoted to the teaching of the Bible. But even in work like that of January, we have Bible first, Bible middle, and Bible last. On hearing that this work was to lie | engaged in, thirteen preachera in the neighbourhood of Tam-sui, and the two native paators asked, .ind obtained permission to attend. All worked with a spirit that was inspiring. For four week? they were up till paat midnight nearly every night. I have juat had a review. We began the day before yesterday at 9 a.m., and finished at 9 p.m. I examined on Chinese History, Chineae Poetry. Natural History, Aatronomy, Botany, Geography and Physical Geography oit Asia, Anatomy. Physiology, Conchology, Materia Medica, and Geology. In this special course of study 36 students. preachera and native paatora, took part. They did nobly. The exerciaea were closed with preaching. They all went to their rooms rejoicing over their day'a work. They are a splendid band of younit | men. May the power of Almighty God keep them near Himself. " The girla' school was interrupted for a time, but the girls were taught in the chapels. At one | place I examined twenty in Scripture Catechism on the Old and New Teatamants, and their answers were equal to any I ever heard in Canada ... I believe in repetition, and in storing the mind j with Bible truth. Bend the twig when it in young. In due time the girls' school will be in f " operation. We have a kind Christian woman, from the East coast, living in the school to take care I of them." The preaching and the teaching are beginning to produce auch results in the way of effort for the I maintenance of Gospel ordinances as might have been expected. The mission passed through a ninst | trying ordeal through the invasion of the French. Many houses were made desolate, and mnnv people, once in comfortable circumstances, "'ere left 'with only the clothes on thoir backs.' Still we have to report that, from March, 1886, to March, 1887, the Church in LJorth Formosa spent $975,60 in building and repairs. In one place the people themselves put up a neat, commodioua building. In other places, they repaired damages done by typhoons, etc. The subscriptions varied from l'> cents to $100. During tne past year the preacher in the Mackay Church was also supported by con- tributions from the Church generally. Dr. Mackay, in closing his report, which we should have I been glad to give entire, says: "Let me express my profound respect and love for the Foreign! Mission Committee, and for the whole beloved Presbyterian Church in Canada. You have respomleti to my poor appeals in a way worthy of a better man ; but I have done my best for Christ, and fir | Him alone. Now ' Blesaed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondroua thing^ And bleased be His glorious name for ever.' " Appendix No. 4. XVI. MACK&Y HOSPITAL AT TAM-HUt. To thiH institution numerous residents, both native and foreign, have liberally contributed. The Qumber of new patients treated in 1881) exceeded the number in any previous year. Its steady l^owth in the favour and confidence of the community may be inferred from the toUowing tabular statement : New patients. 1880 1,340 1881 1,640 1882 1,9;« 1883 1,784 1884 .■{,012 1885 2,806 1886 3,448 The chief explanation of this doubtless in, that the hostility to foreigners and foreign institutions, awakened by the F'rench invasion of the island, is gradually dying down, and the natives are with much less prejudice recognizing the superiority of Western methods. About one thousand soldierH received advice and medicine during the year. " By far the iiuist successful work," says Dr. Uennie, Physician and Surgeon in charge, " is done amongst the peasantry. If less educated and acute than the town-dwellers, thf , st^oin to be gifted with more common sense in the treatment of their bodily ailments. The patience with which they sutler tedious and troublesome diseases is no less praise- worthy than the decision and fortitude they display in undergoing operations." Rev. ,Tohn Jamieson, Treasurer, reports an income from contributions during the year of §1,808.78, with a balance in hand of .S'i06.92. " In the Hospital," says Dr. Mackay, "Dr. Alexander liennie, who succeeded such an able Physician as Dr. Johansen, has carried on the work wonderfully and most successfully, and has to report the largest number of patients since the Hospital was founded. During 1886 I extracted 1,237 teeth, and, with all the preachers, dispensed to 5,176, throughout the three districts of which North Formosa is composed. When idols, Tauist and Buddhist priests, sorcerers and native doctors utterly failed, in numerous instances I had the patients out of bed within ten days. Quinine, I believe, is the best remedy known to man at present. Arsenic (Fowler's solution) is good, but inferior. Still, quinine does not kill, nor eradicate, the poison. It is only necessary for one who has it in his system, to get wet feet, to be exposed under the sun, or (with the body a little warm) to sit in a cold place ; when it will get enraged like a demon, and render the sufferer indescribably miser- able. Now, to prevent amall-pox a person is vaccinated, when he can go freely even amongst the y any at home who 'ietid mere thiin the Lord'a comiiiand and His promiHe to Htimiilate and enconra),'e them, that net'd tinu miiKt iiri'cede harveut ; that a large niaxH will ubHorlt much heat without chanKing it8 (orm till the who!< comes to th( melting point; and that thin applien to the p<;o|)le of India .-m to, perhiipH, no other |ie(i|)Ie, llemembering al«o how vast is the mass, and how comparatively small the infueiice aimlieil. they and we must stir up ourselves both to ' takt hold on ' God, ami to put forih the cner^'y Ml; has ;,'iven ; hut which, alas, is so largely frittered away on * the lust of the flesh, th,- luit of the eyes, and the i)ride of life.' " INDORI. Mr. Wilkie's work continues to be as onerous and as varied as in previous years. In r vjard to it he says : " After the fidl report of last y;!ar it is unnecessary to repeat details of work which neces- sarily have so much of sameness from year to year. J shall, therefore, only rioto any chiiUges of the vear that seem to be of importance." Among these the Assembly will be s]>eeiaUy interested in uhsurving the improved position of the native church at Indore. " It has," says .Mr. Wilkie, " taken a step in advance. It has been organized into a congregation, and is prepared to call a preacher who has i)een taken under the care of the Presbytery with a view to licence, after havinj,' taken a four years' couise in the Ahmednagar Theological iSchool. A.s a stipend they iiromise R'<. .50 per month iir Us. 600 per year, and from the first they will be entirely self-supporting. 'I'hih year all the eNpenses of the Boarding School, of the Sabbath School and of the religious papers, che current e\|)enses of the church, together with help to other schemes, have been met from church contribu- tions ; and they have a balance of nearly lis. 1000 to begin the new year with. They have, therefore, resolved to send .^100 to the Foreign Mission Fund of the home Church, and Hs. TiO to the Saharan)iur Theological School. The membership has been redixced by removals, etc., to forty-three, with seventeen baptized adherents, i.e., sixty in all. Baptisms from heathenism we cannot report. We regret that the Boarding School scheme is practically blocked for want of a suitable building, but we liope, as a congregation, to undertake the Dinlding too ere long, since the Church at home cannot do 80." There is the prospect, too, of other native students being soon available as pastors for churches that may require their services. To this Mr. Wilkie thus refers : '■ In September last Basist Narayan, with the approval of the Council, was sent to the Theo- l(jgical School at Saharanpur, of the American Presbyterian Mission, under the care of Rev. Messrs. Wherry and Ewing, whose ability and earnest evangelical efforts are too well known to re(iuire f 'ly words from me. From the first, that Mission has kindly invited us to avail ourselves of the advan- tages of the school, though we have only now for the first time found ourselves able to spare any of ciur men." We have encouraging and interesting accounts of the High School at Indore, and of a recent jjrize distribution there : "The High School has continued to grow, the averai^e for the year being 132, but the average for the last few months has been about 1.50. The total expense to the Mission of the school for the year has been Rs. 67i per month, about !S2(), and we hope in time to have it entirely self-supporting. " At our prize distribution, recently held, Dewhan Bahadur Raghunath Rao, Prime Slinister of H. H. Maharajah Holkar, was in the chair, and in the warmest possible way he spoke of mis- sionary efforts generally, and of the school in particular, saying that it was the nest school that he had seen in his wide experience of forty-five years With hiiu were many of the principal gentlemen 'if the city, though, owing to the Holi and other festivals, several expressed regret in letters of apology for their absence. For our jjrize funds, over Rs. 200 were given, part of which we have sec aside to form a library and a gymnasium. I regret that none in Canada nave been able to respond to the appeal of a year ago for some scholarships, etc., for the school, that we udght be on -i level with other competing schools ; but we hope our great distance from those at home will not lead to our being lost sight of altogether. I should particularly mention that the Jul)ilee Committee, con- sisting entirely of native gentlemen, spontaneously sent us the largest donation received for the jirize fund of our school. ' All the other work such as printing press, selling of Chri-stian literature, vernacular schools. er '8 going on as last year, and so does not reipiire further mention." •ir some years past, work at Ujjain has been carried on in connection with Indore ; but in the ■ p f October Mr. Murray obtained leave from the Presbytery to begin work there. A station accordingly been organized at Ujjain, of which some account will be given in a subsequent part o. ■ report. . ss Rodger reports that the gi'.'i' school under her care has been carried im throughout the year without more than the ordinary interruptions. "The girls studying English number about twenty ; and they have made satisfactory progress in reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, and Scrii)ture history. . . . ' They have gone over Barth's Scripture history of the Old Testament up to the period of the entrance of the Israelites into Palestine. They know also the chief events in the life of Christ." . . . Miss Rodger regrets that, throughout the year, as much attention ha.n not been given to Zenana work as U8Ui\l. " This is not because the women are not as anxious to be visited and hear the Word read, but for want of sufficii-Mit time and proper help. A young girl in the city, who has been a widow for several years, has been studying Knglish for some time past, and would soon get a fair knowledge of the language, as she learns quickly, if only time could be given to instruct her. She cannot come out, and must be taught in her own home. "This is not the only instance that could be given of women willing to be taught in their homes, if there were any one to give them regular instruction." Miss Ross writes : " In August I opened a new school in the Sarafa (Money-lenders' Street). While endeavours were being put forth to get a house, many were the disparaging statements made about female education. . . . Through the kindness of Mr. Wilkie, a room was at length secured XIX. Al'PKNDIX No. 4. and tna)6r)i continut'ii to increaHe. There are now oiKhty-one names on the roll, although the daily attendance rangeH only from twenty-five to thirty-four. The reaHon of this is, that they go so often to dine with their rimif pfople. Their attendance ii« thus interrupted and irregular ; but they cannot be induced to give mii the practice at once. The dolk which the ladies of Canada so kindly sent out have been the xoiirce of great interest and attraction. Mrs. Wilkie distributed them, and gave the pupils the privileKe if choosing for themselves, which provod most gratifying. It was surprising to see how closely thev inspected them. Since the dolls were given the attendance has increased, and the hofie is that it will go on improving. At first none would buy their books fr)r school ; but lately, over a dozen have paid for theirs : the Christian Vernacular Series is used. The house I have now is very mtich better tiiaii the former one ; the landlord has had a wall taken down and one room enlarged, which is a greiit convenience. " Through tho pupils, admission is gained to the homes. I have received invitations which I h!i\e not yet resjxinded to. I have not ^'ot a Bible Woman, and so alone I cannot overtake a'i the visiting. I go to twenty houses and six MohuUas. Miss McKenzie, a young woman who lives in Indor«, assists me at school, but as yet does not do any visiting. Ths little maiduns here have not been nccust(uued to school, so that one pers'k. At Jawad, also, there is a fine opening for school work, and I have been again and again pressed to institute a school there. Appendix No. 4. XX.

The paHt haH been a year of xowintf bei^iile all waterH, but we iff not permitted to reap vet." |Mr. WilHon thuH concludes : "DoubtleHii thin Hinduixm in bein^ pernieate(entii, who, one here and another there, in the midst of India's millions are liftini; up their voice, and calling men to repentance and fitith, it seems as if that ({lorious rlay were yet far on. " Uut the ^reat Aope springs not from the earth, it comes from above, and is as bright as the promise of Him who has said, 'tiiat every tongue shall confess that .Fusus Christ is liord to the glory ,f (}od the Father." " U.MAIN. Mr. Murray i'l now occupying this tield. He has entered upon his work there in the face of litficulties, not greater, i)erhaps, than might have been anticipateil. " It is the oldest city in India, anil ciinsiderelace annually. Besides t lo yearly mnlas there is one grand mela held every twelve years, when the place is literallv swarmed. A good opportunity will be ;irt'(>rded in cTculating the Gospel amongst those people. \Ve hope some of the seeds of truth, in the tracts and books distributed, may yet bear good fruit in many a widely separated home. The city itself is said to have a population of about i{3,UUU. There are no Kngliah residents, but state otiicers :ind travellers visit the place frecpiontly, and for their ace )mmodation a comfortable Diik Bungalow \vM been built, in which we also can remain for a few days at a time, when n^t recpiired by others, in cool weather we can live in tents, but during the hot and rainy seasons this is impossible." To this place Mr. and Mrs. .Murray have gone to tell, as opportunity may be aifordeil them, the ,'iM)d news of the (iospel. Mr. Murray says : "Through the kmdness of the American Marathi Mission, we have secured two catechist teachers, and their wives and they are now at work. Two vernacular schools for boys have been ipcned ; one has an attendance of upwards of forty boys, the other is growing daily. The school for i,'irls has only been open for ten days, and as this is something entirely new for tljjain, we cannot yet speak confidently. "At our last meeting of Ccmncil, permission was granted to open an English school. One teacher, a native of the city, who can speak Knglish fairly well, and whose influence, we hope, may Sw helpful, has been secured. We expect to open this school at once ; or as soon as a place and an '.idditional Christian teacher can be obtained. One of the schoolrooms we use for Sunday school ami preaching service. It is not very large, but will do for a tittle while. "This is an inviting field for medical work. The sanitary condition of the city is very bad. Indeed filthiness is considered a virtue, and in such surroundings diseases of every type are terribly prevalent. A Medical Missionary could reach the hearts and gain the confidence of these i ...r sutferers, much better than any other can do. One man. who recently lost his wife through improper treatment, or fur lack of any treatment, has offered Ks. 800 for a hospital or place where women might receive medical attendance. In the hope of securing some one to take charge of the work, we intend opening a dispensary as soon as practicable. Would that an earnest apfieal on behalf of Ujjain might reach the ears and hearts of some of our young Christian Doctors in Canada. " In selecting this field, we have done so, feeling that strong opposition would be encountered, and even with some fears that failure for the present might be the result. Still, it is the LonV» work, not iiurg ; and it muit succeed. O God, increase our faith ! O brethren, strengthen our hands ! so that, in this ancient and sacred centre of Brahmin influence and heathen darkness, the Light of the world may quickly shine ! " UUTLAM. Mr. .T. Fraser Campbell writes hopefully of the prospects here. He says : " We see profound cause for thankfulness as we glance back at the past year, or rather eleven months, covere overruled as to become helps. Our position was certainly somewhat anxious for a time, and our unfinished native house in the city extremely trying in the hot season, and the hot parts of the rainy season. But we were graciously sustained in remarkably good health, and in much happiness, 'in the whole. It generally takes a long time to get anything done here, but gradually we got our hoiise made more comfortable, so that with other improvements now possible it would be less trying this year. But whatever we mty do for the house, its situation in a narrow lane remains unfavour- able for ventilation, and fatiguingly ilifficult of access— al nost dangerously in the heavy rains. We, ther -fore, feel it to be a matter for much thankfulness that our position is so far improved that we have just obtained the Rajah's consent to our renting, for a time, part of a bungalow now used as a Diik Bungalow, and which is cool in the hot season, though said to be unhealthy in the rains ; and that it now seems settled that we are to be allowed to purchase a site, and build for ourselves. " The iooi'k has been from the beginning interesting and encouraging. Our house in the city, though not in the most favourable situation, yet brought us so far into the midst of the people that numbers soon found us and visited us /or conversation and for medicine, as well as to attend our 'n-fices. " We have regularly had two services on the Lord's Day, and one on other days ; the former always, an ' he latter generally, attended bv outsiders as well as the Christians, the total number present occasi mallyrisiug to over sixty. The non-Christians have been of almost all classes and castes— from Brahmins to outcasts, rich to poor, educated to ignorant ; some residing in the city. XXI. Appendix No. 4. others fi-om distant places ; some only for one or two services, others— even non-Christians — more m less regularly ; government otticials and their subordinates, merchants and mechanics, PunditK. SadhuB, Faqueers, Hindoos, Jains and Mohammedans. " Mrs. Campbell opened a school in June ; one impediment after another was overcome ; by the New Year there were twenty-seven on the roll ; and such progress had been made hs to elicit expressions of gratified surprise from Colonel and Mrs. Martin, who visited the school, and dis- tributed prizes and gifts. In Zenana work, by means of a Lending Library, by the dissemination of Scriptures and tracts, by the employment of native helpers, by fre(iuent visits to villages around llutlam, efforts are being constantly made to disseminate saving truth. Of the opportunities offered for work in out stations, the case of Jaora may be cited as an example : " Jaora is a city twenty -two milee north by rail, with a population of 20,000, of whom more than half are Hindoos and Jains, though it belongs to a Mohammedan Nawab : the population of the whole state is 108,4;i4. There is an opening for a good English school if we had a missionary there. Meanwhile Jairam has a boyn' school, and his wife a girls' scliool ; the continued ill healtn of hi» wife and child, and the death of the latter, have prevented the girls' school from coming to much U3 yet. The boys' school has gone up to over sixty, and again throug i silly scares among the parents (such E^ that the object of the school was to help secure the heads of a large number of boys for the foundation of a bridge), and through other causes, has gone down to less than twenty. Jairam also has a Sunday school, preaches, and sells scri])tures and tracts." Contributions by native Chr.stians (twelve), in this new station, have amounted to Rs. 24. " These," says Mr. Campbell, "together with our own contributions, the collections at the united meetings in Pictou County, and Es. 50 sent by Major-General Van Heythuysen from England, go to our building fund. Considering the poverty of the Foreign Mission Fund, we are very desirous that whatever buildings we ^'et be provided by special contributions instead of draining the general fund, and thus hindering the sending out of more men, and the opening of new and much-needed stations. " MHOW. Mr. Builder, along with Mr. Murr.ay and some native assistants, attended the mela of Onkar, on t e bank of the Nerbudda in November last. "Here," says Mr. Builder, "we had many opportunities of preaching and conversing with the people from all parts of the surrounding country. But we felt ourselves in a position not unlike that of persons seeking to turn the rushing torrent oi an Indian river in the rainy season. The majority of these rivers, however, when the rains are over, fruickly spend their force, and the only traces left behind are their dry and rocky channels. Thi:? illustrates aptly the religious life of the people, which reaches its height through the influence of these large gatherings but subsides as quickly. They are their times of revival, and teach us, if we are to reach the heart and inner life of the people, that we must infuse into such gatherings. Chris- tian thought and Christian faith, and thus make them fruitful of eternal peace to many souls now seeking rest in vain. " We also spent three weeks in camp at Dhar, a distance of thirty-five miles from Mhow. Mr. and Mrs. Murray and the Misses Stockbridge accompanied us. Our reception was most hearty, both in the city and villages ; we visited the latter usually in the evening, when we made use of the magic lantern, which proved to be a most valuable auxiliary. We had the privilege of exhibiting in the Dhar High School and in tlie Durbar Hall of the Thakur of Turla, along with other pictures, a series of views in the lilc of Christ, which afforded an excellent opportunity of giving, in brief, the mission and teaching of our Saviour. The Maharaja of Dhar also invited us to witness the Durbar, held in honour of the Queen's Jubilee, and at the close asked me to speak and offer prayer in behalf of Her Majesty, which I did, and also for His Highness, feeling grateful to Him who controlleth the hearts of all men for this act of recognition. " Here is an incident equally significant and suggestive : "For a short time a band of twenty-five travelling labourers, living temporarily near one of the villages, came daily for instruction in regard to our religion. Althou^'h the result was not their ingathering into the Church before their departure, we trust that many of them carried away and will spread, in their wanderings, the seed of the kingdom. Had a suitable worker been available, we would have liked to have sent him along with them, but this we regret we were unable to do." Contributions have been received from Mhow congregation, and from friends of the mission, to the amount of upwards of Ka. 400 in aid of various objects ; and to the amount of Rs. 450 in aid nf Pensionpoora School building. In concluding his report, Mr. Builder says : " It gives nie pleasure to bear testimony to the marked improvement in the girls' schools, and to the interest manifested in the other parts of the work of tiie Misses Stockbridge. The average attendance in the bazaar school is much larger than last year. The majority of the pupils are Hind >os, but the number of Parsees and Mahommedans is increasing. In Pensionpoora school the number has also improved, and the parents are beginning to show a great deal of interest. One special feature of their work is a women's weekly meeting, which is simply for prayer, praise, and reading of the Scriptures, and has been attended by as many as thirty-five. " Our Sabbath school has been a source of much encouragement to us. We have seven classes, and have been assisted by Rev. R. C. Murray and Mr. Drew and the other members of the mission, "The average attendance has been eighty-eight, and for several Sabbaths we ha 3fxiii. Appendix No. 4. II.— Formota.

Year by year the operationa of this Society are seen to be, more and more, an essential part of the Foregin Mission work of our Church. Without its aid the work among heathen women and children, the extension and prosperity of \yhich it is our privilege to report, could never have been overtaken. In the annual report of that Society we find this statement : It is as a stone of memorial with the inscription ' Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.' "Ten years ago, on the 17th of April, we gathered as a Society, in Knox Church, Toronto, to celebrate our first anniversary. Truly that was the day of small things ; but some of us well remember how interesting were the proceedings, how encouraging the reports, and that a deep under-current of missionary zeal and enthusisam pervaded the hearts of all present. Eighteen Auxiliaries and three Mission Bands were reported, with the sum of $1,107.99 in the treasury. . . . To-day we meet to commemorate oiir eleventh anniver- sary. The little one has not yet became a thousand, but the growth has been steady, and within a recent period even rapid ; for this we praise God. . . . Jehovah-Nissi has been the watchword on many lips, and in many hearts, during this the first year of our second decade ; and we have enlarged our borders, and increased our contributions, until, from the partial support of two missionaries, with which, as a Society, we commenced work, we can now, with a good balance in the treasury, meet rll the claims upon us this year, for woman's work in the various foreign mission fields of our Church." How fully this statement is borne out, the following exhibit of annual progress in Auxiliaries, Mission Bands, Presbyterial Societies, and contributions, from the organization of the Society in 1876 to the present time, will show ; — Year.

The number of members in 1887 is 8,563 with 152 life members. " The averaije increase for the later years has been at the rate of 800 members, last year it was 2,000." The Society is " devising liberal thin " not only in the way of supporting the present missionaries, and adding to their number, bat in pi oviding increased accom- modation for educational work in Central India, and among the Indians of the North-West. We say a hearty Amen to the words with which the Report of the Society closes : " Let us go forward in ' His name,' with faith and prayer, in this great work of elevating and saving the women of the world." VOLUNTEERS READY FOR THE FOREIGN FIELD. The remarkable interest in Foreign mission work that pervades the colleges of our Church may well be snoken of as a "sign of the times." In Montreal College, in Queen's College, Kingston, and Knox College, Toronto, numbers of students, some of ,vhom have completed their "Theological course, are ready to go whithersoever the Church may send them, to publish the glad tidings among those who have never heard the name of Jesus. The Missionary Society of Knox College has actutvlly selected Mr. Jonathan Goforth, and that of Queen's College, Mr. James F. Smith, who are prepared to go to the Foreign field, in the event of their being accepted as mfssi maiies by the Assembly. The missionary Societies just named have become responsible for the support of these brethren whom they warmly commend to the confidence of the Assembly and the Church. In the judgment of the Committee, as well as in that of their fellow-students, these brethren are exceptionally ijualified for this great work. Besides this movement on the part of the Colleges, there is an offer oil the part of St. Andrew's Church, Toronto, to support a missionary, thus following the noble example of St. Paul's Church, Montreal. In view of such indications of a growing interest in Foreign missions we are filled with gratitude to Him from whom cometh down every good and every perfect gift. We regard them as evidences of a more earnest attention on the part of <.'iirist's people to His great command, " Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creaure." But we cj.nnot conceal from the Assembly the fact that these offers, so encoui iging and so generous, have occasioned no small anxiety to the Committee. For they imply an additii^n> 1 expenditure for outfit, buildings, etc., which, in the present state of the Mission Fund, we are not luopared to meet We have to rejwrt a deficit for this year of nearly $3,000 in the Western Divis'on, and if over $2,000 in the Eastern, making a total of about $5,000. This deficit we cannot take the responsibility Appendix No. 4. XXVI. of increasing. In the whole matter we desire to be guided by the wisdom of the Assembly. And the more explicit the directions of the Assemljly, the more satisfactory will they be to the Committee. Four of the students of Knox College, Messrs. Goforth, McKenzie, Webster, and Mcdillivray, all of whom have offered themselves for service in the Foreign Mission field, are now, with the full ai)probation of the Conimittee, engaged in visiting congregations in various parts of the country, with the view of deepening the interest in our mission work. They have met with the most encour- aging success, and they are heartily commended to the sympathy and good offices of all in the congregations that they may visit. Mr. J. F. Smith, with three other students of Queen's College, namely, Messrs. Buchanan, Munroe, and Mills, will be similarly engaged, D.V., after the end of June, ami the same sympathy and support are earnestly asked for them. RESOLUTION IN llEGAKD TO SCHOOL AT PRINCE ALBERT. The Committee ai)pointed to draft a deliverance upon the communications froui Dr. Jardine ami tlie congregation of St. Paul's Presbyterian Congregation. Prince Albert, anent the aid to be given liy the Foreign Mission Committee towards the support of the High School at Prince Albert, l^g to recommend to the Foreign Mission Committee the following deliverance, viz. : — The Committee having carefully considered the letters from Dr. .fardine and the congregation of St. Paul's Church, Prince Albert, anent the High School there, while sympathising with the desire manifested for the establishment of a High School at Prince Albert on a solid basis, and recognising the great importance to the people there of such an institution, find, i. That Dr. .Tardine in his communications appears t'> misapprehend the action of the General Assembly of 1884, and the extent to which the Foreign i.iission Committee has become pledged to the support of the High School at Prince Albert. The action of that Assembly contemplates the payment of a sum of .$(iOO per annum for three years, a [jcriod which has now almost expired, an8sion. 2. In addition he had placed in his hands oy the late Rev. Dr. Alton, of Dolphinton, Scotland, aa a personal trust, a sum of money which he had collected mainly in Canada, for a mission to the Jews, beginning at Jerusalem, as he ( Dr. Alton ) hoped. Subsequently, with '•us consent, a portion of the amount was expended in connection with the Salonica mission, and his aubhority was given to the expenditure of the residue among the Jews of Palestine. He had during past years oared for the fundf s,:l.>Ii.£: from these two sources, and invested them from time to time. He desires now to be relieved from thib personal trust, and to have the money placed in the hands of those who might apply them eventually to the object for which they were designed. He stated that the sum of money in his hands now amounts to $5,400, and is immediately available. He desires that the Foregin Mission Committee, with the sanction of the General Assembly, should lie authorized to receive this money, and relieve him of his trust — assume his position — and to hold it tc be eventually applied, when a fitting time comes iu the Providence of God, for the establishment oi a mission in Palestine among God's ancient people. The Committee recommend the General Assembly to authorize it to accept this money from the Hon. Alex. Morris, to exonerate and relieve him from all further responsibility as to the money in question, or its application, and to hold the same in trust for the establishment and working of a Presbyterian mission to the Jews in Palestine, when a fitting time comes in the Providence of God. and meanwhile to make inquiry as to fields open, and the probable cost of such a mission, and t< report. The Committee have to report that, besides the sum above referred to, contributions to the amount of $329.90 have been received during the year in aid of Jewish missions. All of which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS WARDROPE, Convener.

Romanism is undeniaMv strenjrtliening itself in many ways, and liecoming alai'minjrly aggressive on this continent. Its wealth and various s(.)urces cif revenue are lieing greatly augmented, and its ormmization perfected l>y tiie api)ointinent of Bishops, Archbishops, and Cardinals to direct tlie efforts of a vast army of priests, nuns, and friars, so tliat its ecclesiastical and political power can scar(!ely he estimated. Tlie restoration, by the reigning Pontiff, of the Society of Jesus to its original status in the Church, and its incurporatirm for religions and eilucational purposes l)y the Legislature of Quebec, are steps full <>f peril to the morality and the civil and religious liberties of the Dominion. It is matter of history that this order was 8ui)pressed in Canada, and their property taken possession of l)v the Crown ; but since their return in 1H4'2 they have steadilv increased in numbers and influence. In 1847 they established the College of St. Mary's, in Montreal, which has now about 450 students, and tliey have since extended their labors to the cities of Quebec, Three Rivers and Guelph; to the shores of Lake Superior and Lake Huron, the Island of Manitouhn and tiie region of Temiscamingue. The power conferred upon them for acquiring and liolding property in various forms is practically unlimiteil, and is sure to be used with the utmost energy and skill so aa to absorb in a larger degree than ever the resources of the country. It is well known that tlieir mission is chiefly educational; and no one conversant with their standard theological and ethical writings can hesitate to pronounce the.se iminire and corrupting; and yet such principles are not only assiduously inculcated in Colleges and Seminaries but also made to permeate the whole system of elementary education in the Province of Quebec. And to such a degree is the influence of their teachings already felt that eminent advocates do not hesitate to ascribe to it the great and increasing difticulty in getting witnesses to speak the truth and to regard the sacred obligation of a judicial oath. Hence the recent attempt to give it additional solemnity by an Act of Parliament enforcing the use of crucifixes in court nouses and elsewhere. It is to be regretted that the aggres.sivc movements of Rome are greatly facilitated by the incessant endeavors of political parties to secure and retain the support of Romanists, and by the course followed by a large section of the nominally Protestant press in lieing .scrupulously silent regarding all that makes again.-t the tactics of the Hierarchy, while outspoken in commending certain of its doings and in deno>mcing as narrow bigotry the efforts of those who tippose them. It must be acknow- ledged that owing to ignorance of wliat Romanism is, an(i always has been, and through self-interest in various forma, Protestant sentiment has in some instances iiecome so weak that not a few contribute funds to the support of popish institutions and opeidy or secretly countenance raffles and lotteries for the same pur|iosc. SouiC even go the length of frankly avowing their opposition to French Evangelization, ostensibly upon three groun lielieved, viewed frotn a ohriHtiim, piitridtic or liistoriiiivl .«itoniiix)iiit aic untenable. As to foinentinj^ ntrife and (•(intontinii, tliiit is no j)iirt f>f our iiiissinii. We rcpudiaie the itisinuatioii; but we do not tbiirt't that when Jesus aipl his .Vpo'^tlcs prcaelied tiio I'osijel, and pressed it upon Jew and (iciitih', thev were ciiarL'ed with tiie ~^iinie oU'ence ■ • ■ • •• ■• ■ ■• • ■• ■ Our am own. I'lrtiai'-d to lie i;uilty of stirring up sedition and turnin.i; tiie world up-ide d xpfrience, tlierefore, is "truly apo.stolic, in this respect, and the zeal of our niessen<:er,s luia rht. 'iitiite selves lis the right thing and certain to bai)pen in future has not occurred in the past, b'e lion has liitlierto been the fruit of the gospel clearly and lovinf.dy presented t 'm' 1 heart and sent home with saving power by the Spirit of (lod ; and the men <•• .ul ■ ucre succe.'sfiil as reformers only in tiu' measure in which they held forth a"d i elo worfl of life. But is this attitude of waiting and doinir nothing compatible Ui a. ciicri appreciation of the truth, and of the danjiers to which men are e.\i)Osed ••(!• 're lic- (if it? Is- i. thus that we manifest our si'iise of the value of their souls ai> ^ 'ov our to he heralds and witnesses for Jesus Christ ? Jie-^ides, those who ask us to leu ' iiomanisin alone overlook the glaring fact that it will not leave us alone. It has i.ot u. ne .-a in tiie ])ast, and is not doing so to-day throughout the leneth and breadth of our "'. 'Tninion. To say iiolhiiig of political intrigue, of which no one will venture to e.xon?ri. ' " .lesuits, it is notorious that priests ' .A prelates habitually thunder against our faith .uid our Bibles as utterly false, and, l.ierefore, on the ground of self defence and self preservation, we are bound to act as we do, unless, indeed, we are ready to confess before God and man that the faith which we hold is to us a matter of such little munient that we care not whether it is maintained or destroyed. Finally, as to the work of our Colporteurs and Missionaries being an impertinence. The unsupported assumption here is that they are sent to do what is iiiinecessary, and to do it in a wrong spirit and method, in an insulting manner; all of which we deny. How can it be an insult to oiler our most hiirhly prized possession, the Hospel, to any one ? It is most necess^u-y that superstition and spiritual bondage should be hroken up by a full and clear presentation of God's message of love and freedom to all men. This is all tliat we charge our agents to do, and if the teaching of the simple Gospel to those who are ignorant of it is an impertinencte which should be resented, then we must plead jruilty ; but if, on the contrary, it is a work stamped with the approval and enforced by the nuninaiid of the Son of God, then instead of being blamed and censured for it, we justly ex- jiect to be heartily supported by all who love and serve Him COLPORTAGE. While all the missionaries and teachers are expected to do what they can to j)lace copies of the Scriptures in the houses of their respective ciistricts, the Board employs a class of men whose time and services are given exclusively to this work. Specific fields are assigned to these men, geiicrall)' one or more counties, antl those they are expecteil thorouirhly Ui can- vass, with a view of supplying the French families, willing to receive it. with a copy of the Word of God, and to converse with them on religious subjects. This work has been carried on to a greater or le.ss extent for the past forty yeavs, so tiiat there is not now asinjj^le county in the Province of Quebec that has not been visited by Colporteurs of our own or similar ''"eieties. In not a few of the homes in dense Roman Catholic settlements the Bible is known and read, and a visit from a Colporteur is eaireriy luiijred for and hijxhly prized. It i-^ not an unusual thing for several of the neighbours to meet toj^ether on the Colporteur's vijsit, and to spend hours in plying him with questions ami in listening to his exposition of fiofl's truth. While fear of p<'r-e('ution and other motives prevent many French Canadians ^rom severing their connection uith the Church of Rome, there are not a few, -^caUered 1\ Ai'i'hNDix No. 5. lliniiif^lioiil. iiciirlv every loiintv, wlio iciid and love the Gospel, hikI to wliom the visits ot llie faitlifiil Colp rtc ar ure of inestiiimble value. Realizing the iinodrtance of this self-ileny- iiig work, the B( ivnl is uiost anxious to inerease the Htan of C(jlport,eurs. Formerly, the f^reat ditliculty was to ol *ain suitable men for the work ; now, however, there are at the dis- )osal of the Board the services of more men tiian tiny iiave the means to employ. During the ,)asl year eighteen Colporteurs were employed, either in whole or in nart. These diHtrihuted i,71.'» cojiies of Scripture, 17,I()0 Freiuih tracts and oamphlets, ana visited 38,167 houses. Adding to this tiie number distributeil by the other Missionaries of the Board, the total dis- liibution for the year was .'{,355 copies of Scriptures, and upwards of 26,400 pamphlets and tracts, being largely m excess of the distribution of any preceding year. A ij;ratifying feature of the circniatiiin is the large number of copies sold, the receipts from unles by the Colpor- teurs amounting lo nearly threefold that of any former year. Kesides the Province of (.Quebec, four of the Colporteurs spent the whole of last summer in New Brunswick and I'rince iOdward Island, and two laboured for the greater porti(jn of the year in Eastern Ontario.

In pre.'^cnting the friends ami supporters of the Pointe-aii.x-Trenibles Missitin Sclioel- witli tliis hrief report tif our lahoiirs durinif the past session, wc desire tt) draw their attentinii tt) our wants and our progress, and to the importance of our mission. Our ohjcct is to spread eilucation among the families who, through the ell'orts of tin Missionaries, liave hecn detachcil from the ('hurch of Kome, ami also among the chililien el Roman Catholic parents who, ^n account of poverty t)r for lack of conlldenco in the ei|iir;i- tioii given l)y the nuns or hy the friars, are willing to semi their young people to our Scliooi-. The French Frtjtestants of this Province are so scattereil all over the country that it i- ouly in a few localities that they can gather their chiklren together in a gooil school taught by a Protestant teacher; many of them are obliged to pay taxes towards Roman Catholii: Hchools where they cannot semi their chiMren, liecause they meet with liail treatment «r have to listen to teachings entircdy opptjseil to what they liave lieanl at home. It is tlien- fore of the utmost importance that the families of our ctmverts be provided with centnii Roliools, where their children can obtain an education in harmony with the j)rincii)les tliev cherish. Though our mission schools have been denoiincetl everywhere by ;he priest? as ino-l dangerous j)laces for the young people of their parishes, the number of applications tor admission is increasing every year, ami a large proiKU'tion oi' them are from young Konmn Catlmlics who have sought in vain an education in their jiarish schools, where mostof lii' lime is devoted to |)raylng to the saints iind reciting their catechism. We have thus always two classes of scdiolars, tin; llrst comprising those who come fruin homes where the light of the Go--pel ha- already penetrated and has d^nie its blessed work; the secoml compo-ed of young people who are thirsting for education but whose mimls iuv already full of supcrstiti(jii< ami prejudices. We seek to impart to those young jieople, by our example, our inlluence ami our leurli- ings, a christian education which shall place in their souls the germs of faitli, of piety and ef Al'I'KNDIX No. '».

PREACHING STATIONS. The accompanying statistical schedule shows that (zvo Intndrcd ami iliirty-eight members were received during the year. With a few exceptions, these were received on profession of faith, iiinsi of them being converts from the Church of Rome : — .\s reported last year, the Hoard appointed one of its ordained missionaries, Rev. I. M.utliieii, to visit the se/eral mission fields with a view to encourage the people and to dispense ordinances in those districts supplied by students and catecliists. Mr. Matthieu spent about four Miiinths in this work, and rendered good service in many of the fields, receiving forty new meiiiliers on jjrofession of their faith in Christ. Crani) Falls, N. H.— Mr. Matthieu lal)ored here for several weeks. lie found the Pres- li'ierian cause at a low ebb, many of the families formerly identified with our church having removed to the States. He reports the field as fully occupied by other evangelical denominations, and though there are no French services, the want is not felt, as the very few French converts now in the district understand English. Two of the colporteurs of the Board spent several months in the .icighborhood last Summer, and gained access to many of the homes of the people, disposing of 120 copies of the Scriptures and a large numlier of French pamphlets and tracts. (^UKiiEC City. — The Rev. T. Z. Lefebvre is encouraged in his work here. He reports i,'reater regularity in attendance on the services. Every Sabbath evening an average of twenty !\oman Catholics are present, some of whom make it a point to attend the Thursday evening ])rayer meeting. In January last, a Mission Day .School was opened, which is attended by eighteen pupils. The friends in Quebec furnished the room occupied as a school, and meet the rent of the >;iine. One of the colporteurs of the Board has been laboring in the city for the past few months, .ind Mr. Lefebvre reports very favorably of his work, and of its influence on the .Sabbath attend- ance. Italian Mission, Montreal. — During the year Mr. Intemoscia was gladdened by the reception of eight Italians into the fellowship of the church on jirofession of faith. Owing to ililiiculties in the way of securing a suitable teacher, a mission school lor the Italians has not yet lieeii opened. During the winter, however, an evening school was conducted without expense to the Hoard, which was attended by twenty-six of the Italians. East End, Montreal, — The Sabbath service is still conducted by Rev. R. P. Duclos, in the American Presbyterian Mission Chapel, at Hochelaga. Last summer a mission day school was opened on Dufresne street, under the care of Mr. Bonnenlant, and was well attended. He also cnnducled an evening school for adults, and was much encouraged by the interest manifested. .More commoilious jiremises have recently been secured on .St. Catherine street, am' the school is now taught there t)y Matlame Wolier, Air. Bonnenfant giving his whole time to colportage work. •All attractive mission building is much reciuired for this district, in which not only the day anil evening schools woakl be held, but also the Sabbath services. The field is in many respects an iiniting one, and with a suitable building the cause would doubtless greatly improve. .\i.W Olasc.ow, C,)ue.— The unusual severity of the winter interfered considerably with the attendance at the Rev. Mr. Boudreau's services. He reports an increasing demand lor tlie word of (io(l, anil a more free access to the homes of many Roman Cath ilic families. .\ young Fieiicli I anadiau in liis congregation purposes lu study for the ministry. X. Appendix No. ;'>. CIrrnvm.i.e, Que. — Our peoph here erected a comfortable mission school hiiilding during the year. It is only some four years since the congrejjalion built a neat, substantial church, and thoui^h many of the young people e leaving the district, the attendance at l)(>th school and Sabbaih services keeps up well. St. Martin, Que. — The missionary in this field last year met with much opposition, aivl suffered not a little at the hands of some of the Roman Catholics. One of the families cnnnecteH with the inission had their barn burned down, it is supposed by incendiaries, because of their harbouring the missionary. flKANi) PjENI), Ont. — The mi.^sionary reports that there are thirty-five I'Vench families attending his services, and that although most of them wee fonvorly connected with aiinihir church, yet he is now the only French missionary in the field, and ney are all expecte almost master here in politics, in literaiare and religion." Here, in the Province of Quebec, wc do not need the word "almost." Romanism is master here. It has all the elements that con- stitute power, wealth, authority and numbers. Politicians of every shade, with rare exceptions, truckle to it, merchants court its patronage, and even some Protestant ministers avoiil open condemnation of its errors. Churches will give large sums for the conversion of heathen in India or China, or even for the evangelization of Romanists in Italy and France, but will suffer this I'^rench mission of ours to languish for want of means. I.et us not deceive ourselves by vainly waiting for what might be thought more favorable times or circumstances to push the work. " Silence gives consent to error, and permits it to live. Preaching the truth makes truth omnipotent, and in its province error hides, and its power tn do mischief ilies. Error lives because we let it." (MacArthur.) We have heard French Protestant ministers saying that if a change of government can^e, and the Liberals had power here. Romanism would be crippled. Alas I for their hopes, a Liberal Premier has presented the "Jesuits' Liill," and a Liberal House has passed it! reminding one of the prophetic words: "Cursed be the man who trusteth in man, and makes flesh his arm." There is but one power that can and will eventually overthrow Romanism here and everywhere. It is that of the word of (Jfwl, the spirit of His mouth ; and the more we preach the word, die more quickly will the giea; work of regeneration be accomplished. The preaching of the word wrought the overthrow nf Paganism, at a time when there were but few written books, and no printing press ; why should it not, with all modern facilities of communication to help it, overthrow Romanism in our times? But some now say, " the cases are not parallel." The Church of Rome is a branch of the Christian Church ; its votaries serve the same God that we worship, according to their light. They are as moral as the Protestants, and much more united. Therefore, to preach the (Jospe! to them is to usurp unwarrantably the functions of their priesthood, and is a waste of energy, of time and of money. To this many add that, with all our expemliture, there have been nn apiMeciid>le lesults, that our converts are ni^ilhcr inlhiential nor rich, and that they show no interest in the Cospel, giving nulhing for its support, and expecting everything to be done for them. We, who labor among them, if not considered as mere mercenaries, are deemed mistaken enthusiasts, and when, after many years' faithful work, we are overtaken by the infirmities of age, and have to leave the work to olliers, we have no expectation of a jubilee fund being raised (or us as an acknowley its worship of creatures, it has been vainly puffed up by its fleshly mind, and given up its hold nf "The Head.'" The Cluirch that does this is no longer a living body. Appendix No. .'>. \i. but a corpse. The Church of Rome makes a traffic of the gifts of God. If, as rclcr said t<' Simon the magxian, "he had neither part nor lot in this matter," viz. : the power to give the Holy (jhost, because he thought that the gift of Goci might be [lurchased by money, the Cluirch that sells spiritual benefits for money has no share of tlie power of the Spirit of Christ. And in case any one should disbelieve the statement that spiritual benefits are bought and sold in the Church of Rome, wc submit the following translation of a card 1 x :i, Bazaar of St. I'eter's Cathedral, last Summer, in Montreal lught for '2") cents at tlie iKii'tTAi. Trkasi'rf:. ihere Seen and approved, tEDWARI) CHARi.KS, Bishop of Montreal. If space allowed us, it would be easy to sh)w further ttiat the claim -i of Romanism to prac- tice intolerance and persecution wherever and whenever it can, ])roves that it is not animated by the Sjiirit of Christ ; and above all, the undeniable fact that Komanism makes light of sin, stam|)s it as anti-christian, for the Cospel of Christ was written '"that we sin not." When the Minis- terial Association here, in Montreal, urged the City Coun^'il to prevent Sabbath desecration l)y closing toliacco and candy shops, and stopping Sunday excursions, the ls.()man Catholic members of the Police Committee votecl as a unit against the proposal ; and one of them stated that tht? ministers of his faith were not opjiosed to sweets and other little refreshments being sold on Sun- days, and that, therefore, it would be time lost to hear the deputation, iSic. If this is the result of the teaching of Romanism, tell us not that it is a Church of Christ I It is, therefore, imperative upon relievers of the (lospel to preach that Cospel to Romanists, their priests not doiiit; it and teaching a morality in many points opposed to that of the (jospel cif Christ. If this is gianted, and it now be asked. " What good has your iireaching dime?" we can show, in Montrea' alone, six congregations of French Protestants, of which St. John's is one. I have been an elder in St. John's when it had a roll of ten members and a revenue m about $2.') per year. The Church has now 111 communicants, 28 of which were admitted during the year, 18 by ]irofession of faith and 10 by certificate. This last item deserves notice, showing that not in Montreal alone, but in other places our Mission work is making itself felt. Whereas, as late as twelve years ago, six or seven baptisms a year was the rule, I baptized iwenty-tive children this year, and officiated at fourteen marriages and seventeen funerals. The Sabbath attendance on ordinances has varied from Gt'i to LOO, by actual count ; that of the prayer meeting has seldom been less than 24, and often much more, and the Sabbath .School has averaged 10 scholars, including the Pastor's Bible Class. Our converts and members are not in general wealthy or influential, although we have a few such, but neither are they ]iaupers. The contributions of the people have averaged $1.S.') per communicant during the year, — no small average in a congregation where only three families have an income of over $1,000, and where nine-tenths of the jieople are mechanics, earning from live to eight dollars per week. The total sum collected during the year has been $fi2ri 18, a higher figure than any reached in previous years, and due a good deal to the introduction of 'he envelope system. I have no doubt that if instead of the building (Russell Hall) now used as a Cluirch, we had more suitable and commodious premises, both for the meetings of the congregation and for the school, the roll of both would be largely increased. Would 'hat some large hearted member of the Presbyterian church imitated on a small scale for us the munificence of the founders of the Victoria Hospital, and sent your Board a sufficient sum to erect a Jubilee French Presbyterian Church, in roc m of our present building. 1 )are we hope that this w ish will be fulfilled ? If our Province of Quebec is ever to rival Protestant countries in enterprise, wealth and edu- cation, the grip of Romanism on the masses must be destroyed. Wherever the Cluirch of Rome has hail supreme authority, it has enriched itself at the expense of the toiling masses. It is not the people who own these splendid cathedrals, immense convents and other religious structures. It is the " church," and it can dispose of them at will. 'I'wenly million dollars' worth fif such property is held in Montreal alone ; this is the published statement of a leading Monirtal |)riest, who certainly did not exaggerate the figures, 'i'he city draws no revenue from all this real estate, and yet the City Council hul.s money to keep the stteets clean. Whenever we >ee the immense piles rearing their ]M'oud cupolas high above the humble dwellings of the peo|)le, we feel that wi. ,ue looking at the gravestones of a nation. As Paul liert truly said : " (^hiuii.i tm pavs se iu'gli^^t\ les inolties s'v vttlteni." " When a country neglects itself, Monks gel into it." What are we, a poor band of tiospel preachers to attack such a mighty power as that of Koiiie ? Nothing! — but we believe still that the Compel will overcome. ''Not by might, nor liy power, but my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts," H\ xii.

Owing to the continued business depression in Creat Hritain, the amoi...: t- ccived by Rev. James McCaul is much smaller than under other circumstances it would have been. Mr. .McCaul's engagement terminated in Ajjril, .nnd he contemjilates settling in .Scotland. In his n-'ceints IS inclmled the sum of ^^43, collected through the instrumentality of .Mrs. Macnider, of Edinburgh, who continues from year to year to show her heartfelt interest in our \v(jrk. .sTUDK.NTS' MISSIONARy SOCIKTV. The Students' Missionary .Society of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, has resolved to prose- cute French evangelization work. .\t a meeting held in March last the Society decided to estab- lish and maintain a l'"rench mission in .St. Jean IJaptiste, and a committee was appointed to secure a suitable site and to proceed with the erection of mission ])rcmises so soon as a sufficient sum of money had been received to warrant this being done. The members of the Society agreed 1.0 collect funds in their several districts this summer, and it is anticipated that a building will In; erected and ready for use next winter. It is contemplateil to open a Mission Day .School, and tn have Sabbath and occasional week evening services in the building, which, it is hoped, will pr iircrd, and were licensed last month to preach the Gospel of Christ. " What has God wrough' .^" "This is the Lords doings, and it is wonderful in our eyes." To maintain in efficiency this most l.:^nortant department of the Chun ■. - work, the Hoard earnestly solicits the prayers, the sympathy, and increased liberality of all the friends of the mission, and, above all, the continuance of the Divine favor and blessing, without which all else is vain.

In RiibmittinK their Report for the year 188l>'7, 'theTBoard have plpasure in stntini; that the affairs of the College continue in a satixfactory condition, and encourage theui to hope that the year on which the College now enters will see still ureater progri'H.H than in the p-ist. From the Report of the Senate, transmitted herewith, it will ht> Keen that the number of Rtuiienti in attendance in the T'leological Class has been 'ifty-two, in addition to which, there are fifteen in the PrepHTutory Department, and a larger number in the University. The total number of student!) residing in the College was seventy-six. The Grikduating ('laris nmnliered eighteen, which the Board arc pleased to observe is a larger number than ever left the College in any one year since the eMtablixhmeut of the Montreal ('n . . $50 00 1 00 .... 10 00 .. 5 00 .. 500 2 00 2 00 20 00 $95 00 ...$fi,195 55 fVea««r«r(i. )LLEOE. itinj? that the that the year er of Htiuient* are fifteen in )er of Btudeiit' rve iH a lar^et :eal(;o|l«'H''- [jpointment nf lis of the C»l . ai)pointeil > V. Thomiwon, all. being due the irer which WW ommon Fund The total income from all sources, exclusive of la^t year'ii balance, ban been $16,.508.86, an amount «xceedinff ihe receiptit of the former year by $'.>.H.8'<. The item of $l,00i.i>4 of extra expenditure for much-needed work in connection with the HHuitary arrani;ement of the College huiMin'/H, which ap[)earA in the TreiiRurer's Statement, has more than abtiorbed thiu siirpluR. The item of repairs to th« buildini; will necexHarily form an incrt>aMing charge on the income of the College. Indeed, 'con- siderable expenne must at once he incurred for painting part of the premises. The suliKcriptions paid during the pant year to the ilndowment Fun,n07.15. 'ihe total amount sub^oribrtd for this fund is $I99,H47.()7, and the amount paid is .f 153, 020. 5.5. In estimating the results of thix fund as a source of income, the fact must not h«> overlookfl that there exiifts a mortgage on the (College premises of $'iti,500, the interest on which forms a lari;e charge on the revenue. As a decline in the rate of interest on investments niunt l>e anticipated, the lioard would earnestly press on the Church the nenessity of C(mtinued effort towards increasing; this fund. The Bursary Fund has engaged the attention of the Board. The Board has, in view of the decline in the current rate of intere'^t, resolved, that in future only the true amount of interest received from the capital representing each scholarship bo paid to the respective recipients of the Acholarshios. The B'lard beg to report that the Kxaminers and Senate have expressed their desire that the Board of Kxaminers he discontinued and that thr*ir functiims be assigned to the Senate. They reuiinimend that the change requested be authorized The Board believe that it would be more convenient for the examiners and would tend to facili- tate the arrangements for the final exercises of the College, were the day of closing chaiigi^d from the tii'Ht Wednesday to the fir-it Thursday iii .\pril. They, therefore, request liberty, if tney deem it advi»:ahle to do so, to make the propused change. The domestic arrangements of the College continue under the careful and satisfactory manage- ment of .Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton. /\II of which is respectfully submitted. Toronto, mh Map, 18S7. WM.

The Senate of Knox College beg to submit their Annual Report to the General .Vssombly, and in dr)ing so would express their gratitude for the divine.favour vouchiafed during the pa-tt Session. With esiwial thankfulness they record the fact that so large an aoceisiou to the Church's labourers is fiiund in the graduating class, which nuudiers eighteen.

Homilies wore prepared on prescribed subjects, which •wir^ examined and oritici 1. TliB8tuermi8sionof the General Assembly, and who ha\e also taken certain classes in the theology of the first year. The senior class (second and third years) read in Greek : Olynthiacs, II.; Odyssey, VI., 1-300, Ep. to Rom., Ch. XII. In Latin : Livy, XXII., 1-20 ; Horace, Odes, III., 1-4 ; Prose Composi- tion, Bradley's Arnold, Exer. 1-20. Grammar in both languages. The junior class read, in Greek : Anabasis, B. I., 1 ; Gospel of John, Ch. X., 1-12. In Latin : Caesar, Bell. Brit. ; Prose Composition : Bradley's Arnold, Exer. 1-20. Grammar in both Greek and Latin. Both tutors speak with satisfaction of the attendance and diligence of their students, but inHiat upon the necessitjr of keeping up the standard of entrance upon the preparatory course. The great inequality of attainment on the part of students of the same year has seriously hindered the work of the classes. Mr. McGillivray further states that the time given for these classes is insufficient. As in former years. Dr. Gregg kindly conducted a class in Mathematics for students of the first year. The Librarian, Mr. .7. McD. Duncan, B.A., reports that the Onlinary Department of the Library was open for the giving out of books at regular hours throughout the session. From this department :U3 books were taken out. The Consulting Library was much used. Works on uhilu- sophy were extensively read, and the additions to that class of books have proved helpful to students, both in Arts and Divinity.

The i4|>«cial value of the irnivernity to the whide higher life of that im|M)rtant leotion of the country cannot he overeHtimated, and the im|>ortance of ii aintaining it in a cimdition of thorough efficiency will be appreciated by the AMtembly. RNDOWMKNT. It wail mentioned in our Tleport for 18K5 that the Kraduateit, alumni and ))enefactorH of Queen'H. on lifing coHHulted, were found to be practically a unit in favour of declininK to enter the |>ro|K>Hed ciiiifKdKra'ion of ccdlej(eH in Toronto, und of reHolviiiK that Queen'H remain |)«rmanently in kinKxtim, Mid continue to do full univernity work there. The iMition taken in accordance with thin remdiition iiitikMH it im|>erative that no important vide of a regular univereity curriculum nhould be noulected, and that the endowment .ihould be adequate to ordin.iry needfi. At the inHtunce of the Chancellor the Kiidciwmeiit AHSociation waH imttitutod with thin end in view, and brancheH have alread ill varitnjR localitinx. A glance at the revenue and ex|ienditure for thJH year will hIiow that had it not been for this AHHociation we would have re[Hirted a ooni«idornble dehcit ; but the ordinarjr annual fee of the AHHociati(m in only a dollar, and it ih evident that adequute anected from the Aiwenibly'H College Fund Ih uncertain ; the rate of intereitt in steadily declining ; and in order to complete the equipment of the Uni veruity Heveral ndditionH muHt be made totht* teaching etaff. It ban therefore been decided tn raiHe an additional endowment of $ 50,000, to lie called the Jubilee Fund, in commemoration of the Queen's jubilee and the jubilee of the Univer- tiity ; for, while we have junt completed our forty- ixth i^enHion, it wae in 18.'{7 that the Church firet reHol veofl8ible diverHion to the great miuHionary cau8<*s that appeal diVectly and powerfully to every Christian heart. Thin |xdicy has been accept««l by the Art«eml)ly, and the «uc- ueHs that has already attended it in our own case, and utill more in the cases of sister instituti'ms, mnkes us sanguine that we shall not appeal in vain for syiiipathy and support in the effort to com- iiIkU' the endowment that is inlispensable to the successful carrying on of the great work of the UiiiviTsity.

The Governors of Morrin College, in submitting their Annual Report to the General Assembly, desire to renew their expression of gratitude to God fur the prosperity which has attended the Insti- tution during the pa^t year. The number of students enrolled during the Session was twenty five, of whom no fewer than fourteen profess to be studying for the ministry of our Church. The uionthly examinations gave indications of careful preparation and dil nt application on the part of the stu tion, bringing the advantages of superior Collegiate education within the reach of the Protostants in the eastern portion of Quebec, and helping to furnish the means of grace to the little knots nf Protestants 8C;ittered throughout the Province. Not a few charges in the Presbytery of t^iebec would have been in the past, and would be now, without the advantages of a settled ministry where if not for the supply from Morrin College. The Governors have much pleasure in stating that a Select School, called " The Morrin College School," has been opened during the past year in connection with the College, and the classes are mainly conducted by the Professors ; its object is to supply a felt want in the city and to furnish a training in English, Classics and Mathematics preparatory to matriculating ; the number of pupils is limited to forty and already over thirty have been in attendance. Suitable buildings have been erected for this purpose, towards which Sir George Stephen, liart., contributed the handsome sum of two thousand five hundred dollars. All of which is respectfully submitted. GEORGE WEIR, Regiitrar. Only in Hsbi MORRIN COLLEGE, INCOME AND EXPENDITURE FROM Ist JUNE, 1886, TO IsT JUNE, 1887.

In the Principal's department, the subject of Apologetics was divided into two sections : Fir»t, Natural Theology, which was attended on one day in each week by fifteen students ; Ser.otully, The Evidences of the Christian Revelation. This latter subject occupied four days each week, and the class was attended by eleven out of the fifteen junior students. The class of Systematic Theology wat* attended by thirteen students of the senior and middle years. The subjects discussed were the doctrines concerning God, His nature, will and works ; creation, providence and the fall of man, together with its consequences ; also, the history of the revelation of human duty, from the creation of man to the institution of the ceremonial law through Moses. The Exegetic class was attended by all the students. Three chapters were read *' i the Epistle to the Romans. Homilies and Polemical Theses were read and criticised in former sessions. In Hebrew three classes were conducted— a Juuior, an Intermediate and a Senior. The Junior class, composed of the affiliated students, had recitations three times a week, and. commencing with the alphabet, overtook about three-fourths of Green's Elementary Grammar and Reader. The Inter- mediate class, formed of the regular students of the first year, also met three times a week, and went throuijh the Reader. Both classes prepared a number of exercises in translating English into Hebrew. The Senior class, attended by studeuts of the second and third years, met twice a week, and read, exei^'etically, selections from the more difficult portions of the Hebrew Scriptures, part of the Chaldee of Daniel, and Belections from two of the Targums. Occasionally, passages in the easier Hebrew were read at tight. The work in all three classes was subjected to a careful revision. To the Senior Hebrew class was delivered a course of twenty-two lectures on the Criticism of the Old Testament text. The members of this class prepared Hebrew Critical Exercises, which were read and criticised. In the class of Church History, the periods from the Reformation to the present time were studied by means of oral examinations on two days of the week. In the earlier part of the session, a course of lectures was given on the closing scenes of our Lord's ministry. These lectures former! the conclusion of a course delivered during liist session on the (iospel history. On two days of the week lectures were given in Homiletics. The time allowed was founil to be sufficient to admit of completing this course of instruction. On one d^iy of the week lectures were given t be better in future to defer the course in Pastoral Theology till the closing year of the curriculum. On one day of the week the Greek Testament was read in a class, consisting of all students in the college. In this class the last /our chapters of the Acts of the Apostles, and the first /our chapters of the first Epistle to Timothy, were read with some care. Thus the Greek Xew Testament was studied by all students in attendance on two days of the week. In the class of Patristic Greek, which consisted of six students, the Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians, and the Epistles of Ignatius to the Romans, Ephesians and Polycarp, were read. The work performed in this Optional a Appendix No. 11. claM by the Htudents wan very flatiafaotory. It is hoped that such studies in the early Fathers may become more (general. The written examinations held in all these subjects were most encourat^iii),', the marks reaching; a hi^h average. The general conduct and diliKenceof the students were quitt; u|^ to the standard of former years. Thirteen discourses were delivered and criticised. DBQBKE OF B.D. The Degree of B.D. has been granted to Messrs. Dill and Johnson, who have just completed their course, and to the Rev. W. P. Archibald, a former student of the College. This honour hait been bestowed as the result of examinations of an exceptionally high character. PKI2BS. The following prizes were awarded : — 1, 2 and .S. The St. David's S. S. Prize of $10 for the highest general average in all the claH^ed that elocution will henceforth become a permanent study in the College. We are indebted to the Alumni Association for providing the means for what has been done during the post session. Corbett. Lewis, B.A. W. Lewis, B.A., SPECIAL LBCTVRRS.

The total receipts of last year amounted to $9,597, as against 1^9,0.50 of the previous, an increase of $547. The total expenditure was $11,028, a.s against $10,8(>l, an increase of #l(i7. This increase 18 more than accounted for by the purchase of new furnishings rendered necessary by the largely increased demand for accommodation. $3,450 of the expenditure was on account of Dalhousie College, in which we support two professors. It was reported last year that the Board had taken steps to have the condition of the Fund thoroughly examined, and some means adopted of eciualizing our revenue and expenditure. The committee appointed for the pnrpose carefully considered the whole matter ; and on their report, it was imanimously agreed, at the last meeting of the Board, to ask the Church for $.'{,000 in congrega- ticmal collections, as this amount is needed, almg with the interest and dividends from invested funds, to meet the expenditure of $10,000 .. year. It was also agreed to suggest to Pres- byteries that each of them assume a definite portion of this sum. They were accordingly asked to raise for this object just one-third of wltat was alloted to them last year for Augmen- tation of Salaries. It is believed that when the mutter is thus brought systematically before the people there will be little difficulty in raising .$3,000 instead of the $2,000 formerly contributed. This small increase would keep the fund from running farther into debt. VVe have been a)Ue to make Jtnme new investments lately that will help to improve our revenue. BUR8AKY FUND. !*t! The Bursary Fund has fallen somewhat into debt, and calls for increased contributions from our people. It has been the means of helping our students very materially, particularly in the way of reducing their bill for board. A small contribution of .$8, on an average, from each of our congrega- tions would place it on a satisfactory basis, ' * BURSARY FUNDS (INVK.STEI)).

BURSARIES GRANTED. Contributed towards boarding students $(V.H) Three other bursaries 100 .$796 CONCLUSION. Out Hall was never in a more hopeful condition than at present. Never were its friends more numerous, or more determined to secure its c(mtinued efficiency. The noble work it is accomplishing should rally around it all the members of the Church in our constituency. It has sent out into the field, this spring, ten licentiates— most of whom are already eagerly called by waiting congregations- ami a large number of catechists. It is undoubtedly the principal source to which we mu.st look for the filling up of our ministerial ranks. Its Alumni ctmstitute the largest proportion of the ministers of our Synod. As matters no»v stand, it is essential to our prosperity and growth. We commend it, for a blessing, earnestly to God ; and, for support, to the affections and liberality of our generous- hearted people. R. F. BU HNS, D.D., CAatrman. ■■-■.- P.M. Ml* IIRISON, Secretary. (i.) APPENDIX NO. 12. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF MANITOBA COLLEGE FOR THE YEAR 1886-87. The Board brgs leave to sabmit to the General Assembly the following report of the insti- tntioD for the past year. It is gratifying to be able to state that there has been a lart^e increase during the year in the number availing themselve of the advantages of the institution. The total .number in attendance was ninety-one. Fourteen were engaged in the study of Theology; furty-five were in attendance in the Arts' classes; the remainder of the number of thirty- three were either connected with the Preparatory Department or taking selected classes. The Board has pleasure in oalliug the attention of the Assembly to the fact that five students^ whose etitire course of theological study has been pursued in Manitoba College, have this year graduated in Theology. The €huroh, it is believed, will find in them a valuable addition to its staff of labourers. In acoordance with the permission given by the last General Assembly, the Bey. James Farqnharson, B A., was appointed to give assistance in the teaching of the philosophical and theological olasses for three months. The absence of Dr. King through indisposition for a part of the session made an extension of this term necessary in the interests of the work. As in former years, two of the more advanced students were engaged to give instruction in some of the more elementary branches. This was farther supplemented by assistance kindly rendered by two of the graduates of the College. In the absence of any teacher of Italian on the staff, instruction was given in this language to the Modem Language students by Madame Biedl^ at her own residence. A complete and detailed statement, duly audited, of the funds connected with the College is herewith appended. From this it will be seen that a fourth instalment of the mortgage debt has been paid, leaving only another of the same amount (94,800) to set the building free from the mortgage, and that' the whole current expenses of the institution, including this year the very moderate allowance to the lecturer, have been met, leaving a small balance in the hands of the treasurer. The entire income of the institution for the year, including moneys received for fees and board, is 917,984.67. The amount received up to date from congregations in Ontario and Qoebea is almost the same as last year, though there seems good ground for believing that, when the whole collections for the year are transmitted, there will be a substantial advance from this portion of the Church over the contributions of any previous year. The Board has noticed with gratification liberal donations to the ordinary revenue of the College from a number of congre- gations which had not heretofore contributed. The Board regrets to notice, on the other hand, a marked reduction in the amount contributed by congregations in the Maritime Provinces. A very moderate collection —one of a few dollars — by the non-contributing congregations throughout the Church, added to the, in some cases, very generous contributions of the congregations noir contributing, would be of great value to the College, in enabling it to remove existing indebted- ness and to meet its necessarily inerf asing expenditure. It will be observed that the sum received for fees and board is more than 91.000 over that of the previous year, a result due to the larger number of pupils and of resident boarders, the number of the latter being at one period thirty- five or thirty-six. In oonsfqnence of the increased attendance it was found necessary to take the museum, and fit it up as a class-room. Even with this addition it is difficult to arrange for the simultaneous teaching of all the classes. The College has continued to receive the aid, now given for several years, of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, the Church of Scotli^nd, Rud the Free Church of Scotland. The Board would record its warm gratitude to these Churchef<. It is diificiilt to see hnir, without their asBistance, tL institution, intimattpartm(>iit' which has been more largely attended than on any previous year. Prescribed classes have boen taken by Walter Beattie, Peter Fisher, George Lockhart, and A. 0. Manson, students having the ministry in view, and, since the close of the College, employed in the mission field of the Church. The Senate respectfully requests the General Assembly to give it permission to admit Walter Beattie to the study of Theology next Session, it being contemplated that he should take the omitted literary studies along with the first and second years of the Theological course. In the Arts' Department Profefsor Bryce has taught aa formerly the Honour and Pass classes in ^atural Science. He gave instruction to three Honour men in the Final B.A. Year. and to three in the Junior B.A. Year. Dr. Bryce took, also, as last year, the work in EnKlish of the Modern Language Course and of the Previous Year, and the Euclid of the Previous and Preliminary Years. Profesiior Hart taught, as formerly, the Classics and French, both in the Pass and Honour subjects. Three students have read with him this year in Honour Classics. Eighteen atudeotii of the previous year received instruction from him in Classics and French. The Rev. James Farquharson conducted some of the classes in Mental and Moral Science ; the others were taught by Dr. King. Six students took the Honour Course of Philosophy; twelvH took the Pass Course in Ethics, with Dr. Calderwood's work as the text-book. The German of the Modern Language Course was again taught by Dr. King. Mr. A. M. Campbell, M.A. , a graduate of the College, and now for several years the resident tutor, with the assistance of Messrs. G. Laird, B.A., and Duncan Campbell, and for a time of Mr. Isaac Pitblado, B.A., gave the larger portion of the teaching in the Preparatory form. Thirty five students connected with the College took pari in the examinations of the Uiii- versity of Manitoba in May, 1881) (t^ubsequent to the date of last report). Twelve were admitted to the degree of B.A. Sixteeti gained scholari^pectfully request it to supply the defect at its present meeting. The Senate respectfully requests the General Assembly to continue the power given by last Assembly to secure the services of a lecturer for three months to give assistance either in the Theological or the Arts' Course, and, in addition, to empower it to secure the assistance of Another lecturer for the other three months should the requirements of the College next Session seem to demand it, and the state of the finances admit the addition to the expenditure which the Appointment would involve.

In aubmitting their brief report your Committee beg to state that, notwithstanding the difficulties in the way, encouraging progress has been made in the Sabbath school work of our Church. Stati<<- ticer scholar i» about the same there is a large increase in the number of contributors. But what is generally true of all Christian work is especially true of Sabbath school work, namely, that much of its results cannot be estimated by tabulated statement. As well try to estimate the value of raindrops and rays of sunshine in the growth of plants and flowers as the value of the lessons and prayers and kind counsels of consecrated Sabbath school teachers. Your Committee are of opinion that, notwithstanding the large attendance and good work done, there must still be a large percentage of children still outside the influence of our Salibath schools. Over 7.5,000 families are reported as connected with our Churth. No statistician would estimate the Sabbath school going corjmunity of such a number of families as less than 150,000, which leaves over 40,0(10 still to be accounted for. The inference is that many of these children and young peopledo not attend our Sabbath schools and Bible classes at all, or they leave them at an early age as being too old to listen to Sabbath school instruction. Notwithstanding the great improvement in regard to re|M)rts there must be a defect still, as the figures here given are not up to those given in the Statis- tical Report, except in one or two departments. It is to be hoped, therefore, that Presbyteries will make more determined efforts to secure full and accurate reports during the present year. * (I) Your Coinmittee «p|>and the fiillu*ving coiitpArativu «taiUtical t»bla, oa showinK thu pr<>)(rrw made (iiirinK the year : - Namr ok Synoii 1 u £ e a 'A 1 E t Maritime Province* | {^"j Montiealan.i Ottawa {\m\ Toronto and Kin^hton < ^^^ {1 ftfi^ 188(1 Manitohaand N.-VV.

That, wherever |)ractii:a))le, the reK'isteri* recommended hy the Aaaembly be uxed in all the Schools ; that a full and correct record ba ke|>t, and that each Presbytery require, from its Saliliuth school Committee, a report of every schmd within ito bounds, to be presented not later than the M»rch meeting. 2. Thiit each Presbytery devise and adopt some scheme of supervision or visitation whereby the efficiency of each Sabbath school may be ascertained and enhanced. 3. Thivt all pastors and Habbatb school workers be urged to seek more directly and especially the spiritual welfare of those under their ctre, and that they use every legitimate means of bringing them at as early au age as possible, through personal acceptauce of Christ, into full communion with the Church. 4. That the claims of missions be urged upon schools, and that each school be asked to contriluite something to one or more of our great mission schemes. ^ 5. That the authorities of Thi»ological Colleges be remiested to devote some attention tn the training of students in methods of teaching and Sabbath school management, and that pastors, if possible, establish weekly meetings for the training of Sabbath school teachers. APPENDIX NO. U. REPORT OF THE HYMNAL COMMITTEE. The Hymnal Committee beg to report that during the past year there has been an extensive sale of the Church and Sabbath School Hymnals. Of the different editions of the Church Hymnal without tunes nearly 17,000 copies have been sold, and of the Church Hymnal with tunes the sales have been upwards of 3,000. Of the small Sabbath School Hymnals there has been a sale of upwiinb of 20,000 copies, and of the harmonized edition nearly 1,000 copies have been sold. Of the tonic- aol-fa eilition of the Church Hymnal the sale has not been lar^, only about 400 copies having been sold during the year. Altogether only 1,000 copies of this edition have been sold since it was icsuud. There has, therefore, been Tittle encouragement for the publication of a tunic-sol-fa edition of the Sabbath School Hymnal. During the past year the Committee has incurreii the expense of p lying for the plates from which the twenty-five cent edition of the Church Hymnal is printed. Never- theless, the liabilities of the Committee have been considerably reduced, while the value of its assets has been increased. It is hoped that the resources at the disposal of the Committee during the «nsuing year may render it possible, if it is deemed desirable, to issue a tonic-sol-fa edition of the small Sabbath School Hymnal without increasing the liabilities of the Committee.

Never- of its assets during the tion of the ) pecuniary REPORT ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. In accordance with the instriictiims given by last General Assembly to the Committee on Sabbath Observance, the following circular addressed to the Churches of the United States and Canada was issued in January of the present year :— INTKR.VATIO.VAL OKFKNCK OV THK SABB.\TH. Rev. ami Dkar Sir, —The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada impressed with the alarming prevalence of .S.ibbuth profanation, e9|>ecially on Railways, and recognizing the impossibility of dealing effectually with this great evil unless the Churches of the United States and Canada make common cause in the matter, at hut meeting instructed its Committee on Sabbath Observance to open correspondence with the Churches of .the United States and Canada, with the view of bringing the combined force of Christian sentiment in the two cse of preventing unnecessary Sabbath labour ii'dgmentof the assistance rendered by the press and the various temperance societies in forming and educating public opinion on this question ; and that it cordially endorses the action of such I Provincial Parliaments as have enacted laws requiring instruction in our public schools as to the I effects of alcohol and other narcotics on the human system. Third. -—That this Assembly again declares its conviction that the liquor traffic is contrary I to the Word of God and to the spirit of the Christian religion ; that total prohibition is right in principle ; that it is the duty of the Stato to pass a prohibitory law ; and that this result is to be earnestly sought by all right means. And further, that this Assembly declares its readiness to C'i'iperate with the other Christian denominations of this Dominion in an earnest and united effort to hold fast that which we have, and to obtain, at the earliest, possible day, an efficient law for the entire suppression of the liquor traffic. FouiiTH. — That this .iVssembly, with renewed earnestness and emphasis, again expresses the h'lpe that electors, in their choice of representatives, will elect only able and good men, who are ^^'ell known to De in sympathy with prohibitory legislation. Fifth. — That this Assembly calls on all its pastors, elders, teachers and members to use their utmost influence against the deadly power of the saloon by their public utterances and firivate life ; liy personal effort and example on behalf of temperance ; and by a watchful care of the > ount; jrithered in our Sabbath schools and homes, so as to awaken the conscience of the indifferent, and 1 i in it, ' J continued to the last to watch over its progress. This, in common with other scheuie* "f the 1 jsbyterian Church, was greatly helped by the zeal and liberality of Mr. Osborne and other frien i of the Church in Hamilton. Another active helper in the early movements in connection with ohis fund has passed away during the year — Mr. Donald McLellan, of Hamilton— who thr ighout his life and by the disposal of his estate at death, showed how much he was interested in .le advancement of everything connected with the progress of the Presbyterian Church.

Forbes, has been removed by death. At the last meeting of the Synr)d of the Maritime Provinces the following regulations for the management of the Aged and Intirm Ministers' Fund in the Eastern Section of the Church were unanimously adopted : 1. The fund for disabled ministers in the Eastern Section of the Church shall^ in the meaiitiwe. continue separate, and be managed by a committee appointed by the General Assembly. Appendix No, 20. ii. of our Churcli 2. The fund shall be sustained by Skt nual C(mc;r>'gational contributionx, ministers' rates, donations, and bequests. 3. The invested capital shall not be trenched upon for the purpose of paying annuities in full ; and all bequests made to the fund shall be added to the capital, except when otnerwiHe ordered by the testator. 4. Settled pastors, foreign missionaries, professors in colleges and Church agents shall pay into the fund an annual rate of $5. 5. When a minister resigns his charge without leave from the General Assembly to retire, but continues in the service of the Church as a preacher, he shall pay into the fund the sum of (5 a year, otherwise his annuity shall be only in proportion to the time of his service as a pastor. (i. A minister who resigns his charge and joins another Church forfeits all claim to the privileges of the fund. He shall receive back, hov/ever, upon application to the committee, half the amount of the personal rates which he paid into the fund. Should he desire to retain his connection with the fund, the Assembly may allow him to do so on condition that he pay an annual rate of Sir>, the annuity to be given him, on his becoming aged and infirm, to be in proportion to the length of his !«ervices in the Church. 7. The rates shall be paid each year on or before Nov. 1. 8. Persons joining the fund shall pay their percentage according to the regulations passed by the General Assembly of 1^77, with interest thereon, from the date of their ordination, or of their becaming ministers of our Church. This rule shall not apply further back than 1877. 9. Any of our present ministers who may neglect to connect himself with the fund before January 1, 1888, cannot be received into connection with it after that make the ;hat there is lifference of 88 95 68 07 62 00 10 45 40 17 EXPKNDITURR.

It should be noticed that comparatively very little has been contributed towards capital, not- withittanding the earnest appeal of last Assembly. The bequests amount to $262, and no large donation has been received. Some changes have beea made in the investments, which now stand at .*15,050— Debentures $2,.500 and Mortgages $12,.550. Following out the Assembly's expression of its mind on the subject, the Committee issued an appeal to the wealthier members of the Church. This ,ipi)eal appeared in the Canada Presbyterian and the Presbyterian Review some months ago ; but as yet there nas been no response tu it, and probably not much is to be expected, unless personal appli- cation is resorted to. It will be seen that the hope of making some addition to the Annuities of beneficaries who are ef!]wcially dependent on the fund has not been realized. It was hoped that the receipts from congre- (rational contributions would suffice, with the proceeds of the rate, to pay all annuities up to the tigure nf the last few years ($220), so that the interest of capital might oe available for the addition referred to. But instead of this, it has been necessary to use, not only every dollar of the interest, but almost all the balance, in making the usual payments. It is no doubt well known that alLthe Presbyteries have been severally appealed to, in terms suggested by their Returns to the Assembly. But though almost all of them appear to have interested tnemselveB, there is not as yet much indi- cation of general improvement, the burden being' as before, largely borne by comparatively few congregations, while in a great many cases, perhaps in most, the congregational contribution is not worthy of the name. The Committee cannot renounce the hope of a large increase of congregational hberaiity, as the result of dutiful endeavour on the part of the Presbyteries. There is reason to think that Presbyteries have not yet exhausted their efforts on behalf of the fund ; and there are Presbyteries beyond others indebted to the fund, which, nevertheless, judging by congregational contributions, are beyond others wanting in interest in its behalf. The Committee, however, are especially hopeful in the direction of an immediate increase of the capital. They believe that all that is needed is to bo had, if only it shall be duly sought from those to whom God has given it, and whose hearts He keeps in His hand. And they would urge that active steps should be taken at once to obtain large donations from those who are able to give them, many nf whom would respond cordially to personal application made to them in the name of the Assembly. As the proportion of beneficiaries to the whole ministry may now be regarded as being at its height, very little increase of capital is needed to keep up present payments to all retired ministers, if there be only a continued upward tendency on the part of congregations. If, therefore, there be no delay of action, justice will be done to a number of the fathers of the Church, who are soon to pass away, after long lives of toil and hardship hitherto ill requited. In relation to the case of Mr. Duncan Anderson, lately minister at Levis, in the Presbytery of Quebec, referred to the Committee by last General .Assembly, they have to report that, after receiv- ing a communication indicating the views of the Presbytery as expressed at. an ordinary meeting, and after making most careful inquiry and maturely considering the whcle case, they have placed Mr. Anderson's name on their list of beneficiaries. Several new applications from ministers, for leave to retire from the active duties of the ministry, have been laid before the Committee, with relative documents. The names of the appli- cants are Mr. David Wardrope, Mr. David Beattie, Mr. James Cleland, Mr. John Alexander and Mr. Robert Rogers, All the papers have been duly forwarded to the Assembly, accompanied with the expression of the views of the Committee in reference to each case. Notice lias been given to the Committee of an application for leave to retire from Mr. Samuel Jones, of Brussels, in the Presby- tery of Maitland ; out owing to the lateness of the proceedings in reference to it, the pa;3er8 could not be submittejl to the Committee in time for the Annual Report. It is believed that there are other applications, the papers relating to which have, through inadvertence, not been laid bt^ore the Committee. A well known and highly esteemed minister of the Church, Mr. Wm. Donald, who hr^ been obliged by the state of his wife's health to remove from Canada, and is now settled in California, and who yet retains the hope of returning to Canada, has requested the Committee to apply to the Assembly for retention of his claim to benefit, in accordance with the regulation adopted in 1884. The Comnaittee would, in consideration of Mr. Donald's service, cordially recommend the granting of his application, on condition of his payment of an annual rate of $15— the lowest that the regula- tion allows.

I'HKHDY REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SUPPLY AND DISTRIBl] TION, 1886-87. Ijueliec . . • Montreal . Ottawa. •• Lanark aiu^ BriwUvHle Yuur Committee have to report that their first work was to vet the new scheme on VacamirL and Distribution of Preachers which was adopted by the Generu Assembly in June, 188(), aftJ most careful consideration and discussion, printed and circulated, so that all parties immeiliatttF interested, who could be reached, might have the opportunity of making themselves acquainted ui'cl its provisions, and thus be able to co-operate with your Committee in working it faithfully. Tt| attention of Presbyteries was called particularly to the scheme, with the reciuest that they wciui: furnish the information which was required not later than the meeting in August, and that tlietl would let those Licentiates and Ministers without charge living in their bounds, wishing ap]ioni;| ments, know its requirements, and forward their names with the names of Vacancies for Supply, 'Your Committee held quarterly meetings, and from the Appendices herewith published, th I General Assembly and others will see t'le vacancies ret>orted, the names of those to whom apiHiiDtJ ments were given, and the Presbyteries to whose bounds they Arere assigned., From Appendix No. I., it will be seen that there are twenty-five Presbyteries in the Province of Cjuebec and Ontario— the only provinces contemplated in the scheme. Of these sixteen reports I vacancies for each or some of the quarters ; three sent in no report at any time ; one reported n | supply waiited ; one reported for one quarter, not for the others ; two reported " no vacancie-, and two which had vacancies reported that they were supplied by students during the summer. V"x\ of these vacancies were settled in the course of the year with men whose names were on y(>ui| Committee's lis*'. Thirty eight names of preachers were reported for appointments, whose names will be found iil Appendix II., with those of the Presbyteries by which they were transmitted. Of these preacherF four were called and settled, two withdrew ; five accepted offers of mission work ; one was remove'lf trom the list, and twenty-six are still on. Some Presbyteries, acting under one of the provisions of the scheme, objected to having certain I men appointed to their bounds. In such cases appointments were withheld in the meantime fri« I such, and intimation to that effect given to the Presbyteries by which they had been certified ; while | their names were retained, and published in the distribution for the quarter, so that those wishin.' their services might apply for them. Only one Presbytery has found fault with your Committed for thus withholding appointments from those to whom objections had been made. No scheme of distribution was published for the first i|uarter. Appendix No. III. contains the I apiiointments made for the three following quarters. Verv few cases have been reported to your Committee of applicants under appointments iv t taking the work in Presbyteries to which they were assigned. There have, however, been sow cases, which have been productive of injurious effects. Your Committee would therefore make the following as their tirat recommendation : I. That Ministers and Licentiates failing to fulfil their appointments without assigning n due cause may be refused further appointments by yoijr Committee- notice of their action to be sent t" the Presbyteries by whom the parties were certified. , II. They would furth> r recommend that the Committee have power to withhold appointment? from any to whom objections have been made, until such time as the Presbytery recommending hint shall show cause for his being given his former position. III. That Presbyteries be instructed to report all vacancies in their bounds prepared to call, :uul obtain through your Committee either full or partial supply. IV. Vacancies reporttd as requiring supply for a given number of Sabbaths shall be held responsible for the employment of those sent them for these Sabbaths, either in their own puli or elsewhere. i (llennarry KingHton .

In presentiDg to the Yeaerable the General Assembly the Report on the State of Religion, your Committee are very thankful to convey the asanranoe that strong indications of progress are perceptible throughout the various Synods of the Church. TheJleport of the Synod of Hamilton and London is \,o the efiect that " there is a spoutaneous voice of gratitude from every Presbytery, and a unanimous testimony that the past year, with all its shortcomings, has witnessed advance- ment all along the line of religious enterprise, and the work of the ministery and eldership, and attendance on the means of grace, and Christian activity and liberality, and an exemplary daily walk on the part of the masses of the people." Unhappily, there is cause for regret, that in spite of all the diligence which has doubtless been exerted to obtain replies from all the Sessions of our Church to the questions which were submitted by your Committee, the number of delinquents is somewhat large. In the Synod of the Maritime I'rovinces no Report was received from the Presbytery \,1 ot. John, and the Presbytery of Newfoundland. Twenty>five Sessions in the Synods of Montreal and Ottawa failed to make any return. The report of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston ought to be more favourable than this statement justifies : "Saugeen with not a few Sessions sending no report ; Orangeville with ten, less than one half, and Lindsay with only five, nearly two-thirds of its charges not reporting." Reports were received from all the Presbyteries in the Synod of Hamilton and London. It is stated " That the Reports from Sessions were very fall, and almost all reporting." In tue Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories Reports were received from four out of the five Presbyteries that constitute that Synod. It appears that though "The subject seems to have engaged the attention of the recently erected Presbytery of British Columbia, the returns were so defective that it was not judged expedient to embody and transmit them." In common with the members of Assembly, your Committee regard with great satisfaction the formation of a Presbytery in British Columbia, and the consequent completion of our ecclesiastical organization through the entire Dominion of Canada. Your Committee oherish the sanguine hope, that a report containing instructive intelligence regarding the condition of our congregations in British Columbia will be available for the next meeting of the General Assembly. 1 1 is clear that the time has not .arrived, when the efforts that are now put forth to secure replies to the questions of your Committer from a!I the Sessions of our Church, can be relaxed. Your C >mmittee are hopeful that by calling attenijn to those Presbyteries and Sessions that are in the category of delinquents, an approximation, at least, will soon be reached to the fulness of information which is desirable, and which ought to be furnished respect .g the condition and progress of all the congregations of our Church. Your Committee have particular pleasure in stating that a remarkable improvement is discernible in the zeal wherewith the elders of our Church are performing the duties that belong to their othce. These citations are sufficiently explicit and satisfactory: "The elders are becoming faithful, conscientious an d it is evident that the success of the Christian Church in our day depends, humanly speaking, in no insignificant measure, on the chari^cter and thoroughness of the organi- zation which may be adopted, there is cause, in the judgment of your Committee, for great thank- frluoEs, not only that those who bear oifice in v^ur Church are keenly alive to the responsibility w. ich devolves upon them, but also that those who are beginning their connection with the Church, as communicants, are admonished that they are not to be inactive or indifferent mem- bers of it, and that tbey are carefully to avoid the conduct of the servant "who i ad received one talent, and went and digged in the earth and bid his Lord's money," as well as of the servant nho " kept his pound laid up in a napkin. " The future of our Church can be contemplated with an abundant measure of hopefulness and courage, inasmuch as sedulous pains are now expended to enlist the active co-operation of all our members from their earliest connection with the Church. In view of the peculiar circumstances of our Mil youthful country, and of the tendency to be less deferential to ecclesiastical restraint which thus obtains ; in consideration as well of the less rigorous discipline which perhaps is exercised in other churches of the land, your Committee venture to state that there is great cause to be thankful to God that the moral life of our people — that criterion to which the friends and foes of Christianity must alike defer — has throughout the past year been so good and praiseworthy as to give little or no occasion whatsoever for censure, or for the exercise of discipline. In answer to the question : as to how the spiritual life of our congregations has progressed during the oast year, such replies as these have been forwarded to your Committee; " On the whole, coMsiaerable progress has been manifested among our church members." " The progress is visible and conspicuous." "The spiritual life is reasonably fair, with good indications of farther pro ~re8s." "On the whole, no marked evidence of spiritual progress " "Quietly, but surely." " One of the best years in our history." "A decided growth in spiritual life." "'All the Sessions answer with the greatest hesitancy and caution. They fully realize that it is God's prerogative to search the heart. Some speak of the obvious difficulty of arriving at a correct estimate of the spiritual life of the people. Some give it as their conviction that there is no perceptible advance in the matter ; while othars and more bear testimony to a very marked improvement, and in some instances at points where irreligion and vice have been long in the ascendant." All the Reports which have been presented to your Committee contain favourable information with regard to the regularity wherewith the services of the sar'^tuary are attended. " It appears that in the Presbytery of Pictou there is a congregation consisting of 250 families, and that there is not one unrepresented on the Lord's day." " Attendance good, remarkably good." "Attend- ance on the Lord's day large, and increasing." The Report is sent by a certain session in Mait- land, " that a single case of total indifference to the means of grace is unknown." " It is said tliat the Presbytery of Bruce rejoices in a Sabbath honoured as God's rwn day in a manner that will compare favourably with any part of the world." At a time wuen it is loudly aveired in certain quarters that the pulpit is losing its traditional power, and that othe. educational c^^encies are quietly supplanting the religious teaching of the sanctuary, it cannot be otherwise than very gratifying to the members of Assembly to be assured on the strength of the evidence which ha? been presented to your Committee, that through the various Synods of our Church the services of God's house are so highly appreciated, and that there happily is an increase in the reverence which is shown by our people for the courts of God's house. " Personal dealing, special sermons, and Evangelistic services." "By faithful presentation of the truth from the pulpit, and personal dealing with the careless :" In such a manner there is conveyed a fair representation of the means that are employed throughout our Church for increasing the affection of the more careless and indifferent in oiir congregations for the house of God, and for leading them to take a warmer interest in our church and its missionary enterprises. There appears to be an improvement on the whole, as well in the number of those who attend the prayer meeting, as in the assistance which is received from elders and members (.'enerally in conducting it. The Report of the Synod of tha Maritime Provinces is to the effect, " that prayer meetings have an increased attendance. Valuable assistance is rendered by the elders, ordinary church members, and in some cases women read, pray and speak." A somewhat 111. Appendix No. 23. dolefol Report was received from the Presbytery of Montreal : " The prayer meeting is poorly attended ; it is seldom conducted by any person bat the pastor." In the Report of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston, saoh statements as these are to be found : '* A very large proportion of the membership never attend prayer meeting." The attend- ance of some prominent members would cause almost a sensation by their unusual attendance. It cannot always be on the score of business engagements that men absent themselves, nor always on the plea of weariness from the day's labour, for in the one case many who absent themselves from prayer meeting can find time to visit their clubs and lodges more than once a week, while in the other case a woman's work is as fatiguing to her as the man's is to him." It is stated in the report of the Synod of Manitoba and the North-West Territories " that some of the replies which have been made in connection with the prayer-meeting are favourable, and that others are discouraging. Some of the elders and other members of the Church take part in leading in prayer." It is clear to your Committee, that when every allowance has been made for extenuating circumstances, the prayer meeting ought to be, and can easily be, more largely and regularly attended. As the members of Assembly are well aware, there is no question of more vital importance to the cause of morality and integrity and religion in its highest aspects, than that of family worchip, and the offering to God of the morning and evening sacrifices of praise and prayer in the homes of all the members of our Church. There is no exaggeration in the statement which is contained in the Report of the Synod of Hamilton and London, " When family worship goes, family religion will not long remain and when oncu family religion is gone, we have nothing to supply its place. The loss is irreparable. " This is the tenor of the Reports concerning family worship ; " It is faithfully observed, especially in the country." " The usual confession has to be made regarding the neglect of family worship. Only a portion of the people observe it." " Olad that so many observe, and sorry that so many neglect it." These words occur in the Report of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston in connection with family worship. "This feature of the Report calls for deep humiliation, heartfelt confession of sin, and prayer to God that He may guide us in the earnest consideration of this matter to the best steps to have this paralyzing blight upon our beloved Church speedily removed." The Report of the Presbytery of Regina is to the effect, "That family worship is observed in few of the homes, though, even in this instance, the practice is becoming more common. Family worship is observed in some cases by families the heads of which make no profession of religion." Your Committee are convinced that family worship is not receiving the wide and solemn attention which it deserves ; and that, therefore, the necessity is urgent of using every available means for impressing on our people the paramount value of having members of the same family worship God with unfailing regularity and decorum in the common home. The members of Assembly will be glad to learn that there is a continuous increase in the develop- ment of the spirit of liberality among the members of our Church. A few citations from the reports which your Committee have received, cannot fail to be interesting and satisfactory, so far as the liberality of our members is concerned. " On the whole the grace of liberality is on the increase." "In one or two congregations the contributions have nearly doubled during the last twelve months." "From year to year, we are progressing in liberality." " There is an improve- ment in the liberality of the people." "The people abound more and more in liberality." " Almost without exception the reports speatf choeringly of growing liberality." " In the large majority of cases the improvement is very marked." One of the Presbyteries in the Synod of Hamilton and London furnished the very gratifying information that " Some of the brethern faithfully set apart one-tenth of their incomes for the Lord's cause, the average for the year per family being $42.50." These sensible words are subjoined, " May their zeal provoke many." From the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories, the gladdening intelligence comes that there is a continued advance in the contributions of the people for Christian objects. In one case, the average of $60 per communicant is reported as having been reached, and in another in the same Presbytery, an advance of fifty per cent. As to how a spirit of still larger liberality can be evoked, your Committee beg to make a few extracts from the Reports of the various Synods. ** If the people are to give, they must be fully informed as to the object to be aided both at home and abroad." " Were more information given concerning the Mission Schemes, and general work of the Church, more business systems followed, and greater attention given tu the more frequent ingathering of many small sums, by weekly offerings, and thanksgiving gifts for special mercies, we would yet find a more marked increase." " To promote liberality, recourse is had to teaching from the pulpit, to the giving of information in behalf of the various objects for which an appeal is made, and to the adoption of the envelope system." Your Committee are strongly of the opinion, that as a Church we have reason to be thankful that the liberality of our members is marked and steady in its development ; and that as we regard the necessity of undertaking still larger labours for onr common Saviour in the time that is yet to be, no reasonable doubt can be felt regarding the possibility, and indeed the certainty, of obtaining a sutHcieucy for even extensive operations. In seeking to ascertain the influence which is excited by the religious life of the members of nur Church, your Committee beg to state that they had no desire to demand or to encourage any unwise introspection. They deferred to the criterion which the Son of God Himself has given, and which must commend itself to the judgment of all men: " By their fruits ye shall know them." It is at no time to be forgotten that we are, to a large extent, our brother's keeper, and that those Appendix No. 23. IV. vbo profess to be members of the body of Christ, are to be always heedfal that their external life, lived as it is and must be, in the daylight of the world's observation, exhibits the spirit of Christ, and is worthy of praise and imitation. Yoar Committee are not surprised that suoh answers as these have been returned to the inquiry, of whioh mention has just been made: " The question is practically unanswerable ; " "Sessions speak with the greatest caution on this point." All refer to the difficulty of definitely ascertaining this influence." The Reports which yoar Com- mittee have examined, contain, however, suoh favourable testimony as these citations indicate ; "The influence is good in stimulating other churches ; " " The influence is for good, morally and spiritually ; '' " The Christian example set by many of our people excites a salutary influence on society, and also affords hopeful testimony regarding the genuineness of their profession : " " The iafiaence is salutary, wholesome, elevating. The moral tone is leading the careless to attend on ordinances, is sustaining the temperance sentiment of the community, and is promoting the better observance of the Sabbath by those even who are not professedly rehgious." Yoc; Committee believe, that the members of Assembly will regard with great satisfaction, the evidence which is thus furnished respecting the wholesome influence that the consistent life of those members of our Church is quietly yet powerfully exerting. Nor can there be any hesitation in acquiescing in the pious wish which is contained in the Beport of the Synod of Hamilton and London : " Wonld to God that the immeuse host of God's Israel, constituting this and all the Churches of the land, fully realized the potency and far-reaching influence of their daily life for good or ill, and also the weighty burden of their consequent responsibility." Your Committee beg to commend very warmly the great interest which is taken by our Church in the education of the young. The truth must always deserve careful consideration and rejection, that the boys and girls of to-day will, in a few years, be the men and women of the Church, who can powerfully affect its vitality and control its operations. There is an ever- accumulating amount of evidence in favour of this contention, that education in working and giving for the cause of Christ, cannot be relegated with safety to early manhood and womanhood ; and that, accordingly, as soon as th^re is even a moderate measure of intelligence, it is wise to instruct children in the principles of the Christian faith, to set before them the all-embracing work which the Christian Church has to do, and the claims which the Saviour of the world has, and which He makes, on the active sympathy and co-operation of the boys and girls and men and women who constitute His Church upon the earth. Your Committee are happy to find that Sunday schools are held through the entire boundary of our Church. Everywhere a large amount of attention is given to the training of the young. "All the reports speak of Sabbath schools, infant, and Bible classes. Sabbath school libraries, in many cases congregational libraries, and addresses to the young from the pulpit weekly, monthly or occasionally." The religious welfare of the young is promoted by Sabbath schools, Bible classes, parental instruction and training ; " " A brief address is delivered to the children each Lord's day in one or two cases." Those citations contain a very fair representation of the various means that are employed to advance the veligious instruction of the young. Your Committee regret to find complaints in some of the Reports that religious instruction is largely ignored in many of ihe homes, and that thus obedience is not given to the command of Paul, " And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." These extracts from the reports which your Committee have received, are unambiguous enough : " There is a sad com- plaint of lack of parental instruction ; " " Parents should be addressed more frequently on their obligations to give spiritual instruction to their children " ; " The young are very much without religious instruction in their homes." In the excellent report of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston it is stated, " that there is a large amount of faithful instruction given at home by parents to their children, supplementing the influence of Christian example and the exercise of family worship ; but that it is greatly to be feared, that in a very large number of families, the instruction is either very imperfect or wholly neglected, and devolved upon Sabbath schools. This is an evil of the greatest magnitude, calling for the gravest consideration and the wisest and most earnest action of the whole Church." The members of Assembly will thus perceive, that very much yet remains to be done before it can be said, that the religious instruction of the young is receiving, in the homes of our people, the continuous care and earnest attention to which it is unquestionably entitled " Pulpit addresses ; the giving of missionary information ; " the circulation of suitable literature;" "collections every Sunday, and a special ^ tllection monthly for missions ; " " the children are trained to give to all the missions of the Ohurch ; ' " Parents should train each child to give, however humble the offering." Suoh are some of the rephes that have been made to the inquiry : as to what is done to develop the spirit of liberality among the young. The members of Assembly will be gratified to learn that *' suras ranging from ?100 to $700 were contributed last year towards the schemes of the Church, directly by the children," in the Presbytery of Montreal. Your Committee have to state that the means which are adopted to bring the young into full communion with the Church are " personal dealings by panors and teachers ; special appeals from the pulpit, especially at communion seasons : parents are urged to guide their children to aoseptanoe of Christ nud profession of His name, aud for this purpose to enter into frank conversation with them." In their desire to ascertain the number of those above eighteen years of age who are not communicants, your Committee had before them the grand ideal of the Christian Church, whioh involved no less than this that as soon as boys and girls who have been admitted into the Chris- tian Church by the sacrament of Baptism, have gaiaed a sufficient measure of intelligence, they 11 i' V. Appendix No. 23. are to become oommanicants. Your Committee would take the liberty of reminding the members of Assembly, that the wise and godly men who laid the foundation of Presbyterianism in Scotland, though they refrained from specifying the age at which boys and g'rls ought to become com- municants, were of opinion that no one under twelve years of age ought to be thus admitted. It may be safely maintained that the sessions of our Church are guided by their own wisdom, aud by what they know of the character of boys and girls, in determining when the latter are to be admitted into full communion with the Church. Your Committee regret tn find, that a much larger namber above eighteen years of age than they could beforehand bave suspected, are not oommanicants. When the members of Assembly are informed, that in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa there are 22.5, 200, 145, 80, 85, in ccitain congregations who, though they are above eighteen years of age, are not communicants ; and that in *^e Synod of Toronto and Kingston there are loO. 146, 124, 100, 200, 70, to whom the same remarks apply, it will be evident that we are very far from approximating the ideal of the Christian Church, and that there is an unmii- takable necessity of <f river of same name, surrounded by a good farming country.

One of thene wan insured for nearly three times the amount of the grant made by the Board. The other was without liny insurance. Both congregations are building again. The foregoing statement will enable the Church to understand over how wide an area the opera- tions of the Board extend, and how much has been done to give visibility and permanence to the work of the Church. The aim of the Board has been to assist Presbyteries in planting churches in aU centres of ^]>ulation ; and the success ha» been such that no village or town of any size or promise in the Synod is without a church or the prospect of one this season. The Board are pleased to report that congregations repaid on moneys advanced them !it2,002.15 IsLxt year, as against $322 the previous year. As the circiunst.'^nces of the country improve repay- ments may be expected to became more and more a source of revenue. For some time, however, iiwing to financial stringency, the Board cannot hope to call in its loans. Good security, in the shape I if mortgages or notes, has been obtained in almost every case. The Board feel the debt of obligation under which they lie to members and adherents of the Church in the Eastern Provinces who had so generously helped in this work of church extension. The Board can assure the subscribers to this Fund that every care is taken to grant aid only where there is promise of usefulness, and that steps are taken to see that those who receive aid exert them- 'arate congregations and mission fields and only twentv-three manses. There is submitted herewith the Treasurer's statement, and also a letter from the Superintendent of Missions showing the effect of the Fund on the work of the Church in the Synod. The Board cordially welcome the Assembly to Winnipeg, and express the hope that Commis- sioners may be able to visit different parts of the country and see for themselves the effect this Fund has had in advancing the cause of morals and religion, The Board are convinced that church extension in this : ountry will be greatly impeded without a healthy Building Fund, and they are convinced that information only is required to secure the means needed to keep pace with the demands of settlement. The regulations with changes proposed are as follows : — 1. The Fund shall be called The Church and Manse Building Fund of the Presbyterian Churclj in Canada for Manitoba and the North- West. 2. The amount to be aimed at in the first place shall be one hundred thousand dollars (8100,000) ; the Fund shall be raised by subscriptions and bequests. 3. The management of the Fund shall be entrusted to a Board of fifteen members, twelve of these to be appf)inted annually by the General Assembly. The other members of the Board shall l>e the Superintendent of Missions for Manitoba and the North-West, the Convener of the Home Mission Committee of the General Assembly, Western Section, and one member to be appointed by tlie said Committee. The Board shall have power to fill any vacancies made by death or resignation until the meeting of the next General Assembly thereafter. The usual place of meeting of the Board shall be Winniiieg. 4. All applications for aid in the erection of churches or manses shall be made to this Board tlirough the Presbytery within whose bounds the congregation is situated, and before being con- sidered by the Board must be recommended by the Presbytery ; but the Board shall be so'e judge as to the merits of the application, and the nature and amount of aid to l^e given. 5. The money constituting the Fund shall be, at the discretion of the Board, either invested and the revenue accruing therefrom given in the form of grants to congregations to assist in the V.

It shall be competent for the Board, with the approval of the (ieneral AHHembly, to ninkt- changeM in thcHe regulations, but such changes shall have due regard to the proper prenervation ii of the new comers were Presbyterians. Many of them were young, with characters unformed anri with religious convictions unsettled. Some were in ({uest of homes, others of wealth. The whole- some retraints of settled society were wanting. With the break-up in associations and the absence of restraint there lay the danger of the religious instincts becoming enfeebled and the sense of umral obligation blunted. If religious institutions were not ]>lanted among them and the teachings of early life followed up, indifference, irreligion and vice were certain to become prevalent. The facts were laiil before the Church, and prompt and energetic action was taken. Missionaries were appointed, and money voted to support them. But no sooner did missionaries appear on the ground than other difficulties presented themselves. There were neither churches in which to hold services, nor houses to shelter missionaries and their families. The Foreign Mission Committee appropriates its money to erect chapels, purchase bungalows or procure health retreats. The moneys of the Home Mission Committee can only be voted to help pay the salaries of missionaries. My first tour through our mission fields opened my eyes. Settlement was being rapidly effected, but for the eight years between 1874 and 1882 only fifteen churches had been erected. School houses were very few in number, and when available the low seats and narrow spacing proved rather trying to the long leg and longer thigh of the athletic Manitobans. I shall say nothing of the trial> of female dress with its projections and distensions. Services were consequently held for the most part in private houses, and as the ceiling was sometimes low and formed of hay or sod, it seemed a blessing to be short of stature. In summer, stables and stable lofts, byres and granaries, were fitted up ; but the crowing, clucking and cackling of irreverent poultry, the barking of dogs, or the gambols of cattle, were too tiying to the risibilities of the young ; and odours more pungent than pleasant gave the sensitive nostril or the refractory stomach an excuse to rebel. Railway stations and section houses, unfinished stores and dwelling houses, private and public halls were extemporized into churches wherever available ; but the rent of halls frequently left littli' of the revenue to be applied on salary, as such halls were built " on spec," and supposed to p.ty themselves in three years. Hotel parlours and dining rooms, billiard and oar rooms were secured, Imt only occasionally. It was feared by the owner that the service might interfere with the legitimate tr.tde of the place. I have preached in the front of the house when the proprietor was selling whiskey in the rear, but I had the satisfaction of knowing that he was fined $200 and sent six months to gaol. Ludicrous incidents could be given and laughable stories told. But missionaries compelleil to labour in this way felt as if they laboured in vain and spent their strength for naught. The need of manses was greater still. Missionaries could get houses to rent at only a few ]>oints, and l!>20 per month was asked for very inferior accommodation. When it is borne in iniud that the salary was only ,$800, it will he seen that it was impossible for a minister to engage a house at such a figure. I have visited delicate refined women and cultured ministers in houses scarcely fit to shelter cattle. Dr. Guthrie, in appealing *r> ScoWish audiences for money with which to build manses for Free Church ministers, pointed his appeals with incidents of heroic suffering. Cases of greater hardships could be cited in the history of missions in Manitoba. Disappointment, sicknes^ and diminished power for work followed. Men lost their '"sprimg"— their energy, and the work languished. An effort was made to reach the ear of the East, but a wilderness lay between, and Eastern pastors were busy with their own work. But why did not the people build ? They could not. Many of them wese poor — fiaancial pres- sure drove them from the homes of their youth. For the first few years it was all outgo and w iiicome with them. Building timber could not be had but at a few points ; lumber and hardware were dear. Something had to be done to encourage, to stimulate, else the work would fail. Such were the circumstances that called the Fund into existence, and similar circumstancts created fatids in the American churches. The effect of the Fund on the work of the Church has been unmistakable. It has given visibility to Presbyterianism. There is not a village or town of any importance Itetween Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains that is not provided with a church, and many nf Appendix No. 26. ▼L. m to audi rent.

For the eight yeari* prior to the existence of the Fund only \f> churches and man* js were built, or not ((uite an average of 2, while since the existence of the Fund the average has l>een nearly 21 a vear. The possession of a church has increased th» audience, and widened the nphere for the ministers' u^efulnuss. .fones would not attend services hold in Brown's house, and Bmwh htmestly paid Jones hack ; l)oth attend services in the church. A church atfords facilities for the prosecution of Sabbath school work. In a country where religious training is too often neglected at home, the Sabbath school is scarcely less im)>ortant than the public service. The attendance at the Sabbath schools has increased nearly tenfold since the Fund was organized. Churches have increased attendance on public service and swelled the revenues of congregations. Until Port Arthur had a church it received 9300 from the Home Mission Fund ; with the dedication of its church the congregation became self-sustaining. The contributions of Kdmonton went up from .'<'^()0 to $700, and those of Rat Portage from $550 to $1,000. Calvary became self-sustaining in three years, and now gives its pastor $1,200 per annum. Kegina, Boissevain, Virden, Qu'Appelle, Oak Lake and other centres experienced similar benefits. The increase in congregational contributions has enabled the Church to extend her operations. The money saved in older districts has been available for work in new fields. If to-day there is no settlement of any size or a centre of an^ promise where a missionary of the Church is not ministering to the religious wants of the people, it is to a considerable extent due to the operations of the Church and Manse Board. The Fund has been a valuable aid in church extension. It has saved money directly to missionaries and the funds of the Church. Seventeen manses have been already erected. At an average rental of $15 (ler month an annual saving of >:),0«i0 is effected. This sum capitalized at 8 per cent the ruling rate of bank interest, woidd amount to .'<.S8,2.50, or four-fifths of the total amount i pended by the Board. Wherever the minister of an augmented congregation is provided with a miinse, he receives $50 less from the Augmentation Fund. These manses have contributed to the comfort of our missionaries, and so removed the reproach of neglect on the part of the Church. It has increased their power to help young people, and ho to weld the congregation into a compact whole. The timely aid extended has cheered the hearts of missionaries and people, it has helped to make the Church one and keep the west closely attached to the east. In their times of political disinte- ^.'ration this is a national blessing. With all that h^^s been done tho work of the Board is only beginning. New fields in considerable numl)er8 are being occupied every year. Four-fifths of the ministers are without manses, and three- ftiurth.^i of the points occupied are without churches. During last summer several contributors to the Fund, from Tr>ronto, Montreal and other centres, visited the country. They expressed themselves much pleased with the work of the Board, and they liave increased their former contributions. Their cordial approval influenced their acquaintances to l>el|) the work. ./AMES ROBERTSON. WiNNlPKO, Man tilst, 1887. TREASURER'S STATEMENT, YEAR 18SC-87. RfX'EIPTS. 1. Balance from last Arrottnt.

In the Hyno I reshytopy of fj fMi's Paris, Ch iiioreaM. of a on , Appendix No. 28, REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATISTICS FOR THE , , YEAR 1886. Tn submitting their report, your committee would begin by stating that a circular was issued in the numtti of July last to all Presbyteries, informing them of the action of last Assembly to instruct congrega- tions ill their bounds to change their year, where necessary, so as to coincide with the calendar year. In another circular, sent out in January of the present year, one question was, " Do the congregations in your bounds make their year close with the calendar year ? " and in the replies which have been received (and only live Presbyteries, namely, Victoria and Richmond, Quebec, Ottawa, Lanark and Renfrew, and Samia, have fulled to answer) by far the greater number answer in the aflfirmative. Some give a modified reply, such as, " they try to do so," " nearly all," " majority," etc., so that it is evident that the injunction of tho Assembly has been received favorably, and there is reason to expect that in a very short time all congrega- tions will be found complying with the resolution of the Supreme Court, which was not adopted without time and opportunity for full and mature consideration. In accordance with this resolution the questions prepared and sent down to congregations were intended to collect information only to the end of December, 188G, whether nine or twelve months, according to the date at which the previous returns had closed. The same form was followed in the sheets prepared for Pres- byteries. From the printed report it will be seen what congregations have made, or required to make, the cliaiiffe directed ; and it must be apparent that, as the number is comparatively small, there was no diffi- culty in the way of carrying the resolution into goni.'ral effect. At this stage your Committee may remark that they would be justified in not instituting a comparison, as on former occasions, between the year ending with December, 1886, and the previous year. The returns for that year covered twelve calendar months, those dealt with in this report are for varying i)eriod8 ; many iif them for twelve, some for nine, a few for six, and one even for two months. Yet such comparison has lieen made in almost all instances, and the agreeable fact i)re8ents itself that there is generally an increase in the numbers given, whereas a decrease might have been expected, affording evidence of the continued i)ros- perity of the Church, through the blessing of tlie Most High, and of the receipt by your Committee of fuller returns from congregations and stations. The fact that the reports are for varying periods must be kept in mind when insi)ecting the table of averages, which has been prepared as usual. It exhibits only an approximate view of the liberality of fam- ilies and members in full communion to the objects specified. Had all returns been for the full period of twelve months, as in former years, the rate would have appeared considerably higher. On looking at the average contributions, over the Church generally, it will be seen that they are almost equal to those of the twelve months immediately preceding, as given in the report of your Committee for part of 1885 and 188<). STATISTICS. In the report presented at the meeting of Assembly in June last year there are the names of 39 Presby- t>-ries, 11 of which were in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces ; 6 m that of Montreal and Ottawa ; J) in til it of Tiironto and Kingston ; in that of Hamilton and London, and 4 in that of Manitoba and the North- \\ 1 >t Territories. In this report there i'.n? the names of 42 ; one, that of Orangeville, having been formed in the Synod of Toronto and Kingston ; one, that of Colun.oia, in the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories ; and .me, that of Indnre, in the Foreign Mission Field, and from which returns to this Oiniiiiittee have not bten expected. Altogether there are now 41 rejwrting Presbyteries. Tiie number of pastoral charges reimrted is 775, of which 178 are in the Synod of the Maritime Pro- vinces ; the largest numlier, 30, being in the Presbytery of Halifax ; the next largest, 29, in that of Prince Kdw.iid Island ; and the next, 23, in that of St. John ; Pictou has 18 ; Miramichi, 17 ; Truro, 15 ; Sydney, 14; \'ictoria and Richmond, 11; Wallace, 10; Lunenburg and Shelburne, fl ; and Newfoundland, from wlmli (inly one congregatieak of it in way of complaint. There is no reason why vacancies should not be reported as well as settled charges. They have their complete organization and their complete equijjment of office-beareis : the only difference being that their Moderator of Session is not stated but temporary. Presbyteries slioidd feel it to be their duty to see to it that the appearance of their statistical reports, as printed, is not niiu red and disfigured by blanks opposite the names of such congregations, and that the Church is not deprived »i the valuable information which is thus withheld. The total number of churches and stations supplied by ministers is 1,773. Last year there was a dccnnsr in this itein as compared with the year before of 154. This year there is an increase of 125. The Synod of the Maritime Provinces, with 178 pastoral charges, contains 491 ; of which 109 are in the Presbytery of St. John, with its 23 charges ; 80 in that of Halifax, with 30 charges j 08 in that of Prince Edward Island, with 29 charges ; 43 in Miramichi, with 17 charges ; 3(5 in Sydney, with 14 charges ; 35 in Lunenburg and Shel- burne, with 9 charges ; 34 in Wallace, with 10 charges ; 33 in Pictou, with 18 charges ; 2i) in Truro, witii 15 charges ; 22 in Victoria and RichnKmd with 11 charges ; and 2 in Newfoundland, with 2 charges. It will thus be seen that several of the ministers in that Synod have manifold labors in the discdiargf' of their duties from the pulpit and of other pastoral work among the peo|jle who have been committed t" their si)i ritual care. In none of the other Synods with the exception of Manitoba aud the Nortlr\Vest Territories are ministers called to such extensive and scattered fields of labor. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa 253 churches and stations are connected with 151 pastoral chp.ges, not an average of 2 to e:ieh ; and while in some of the Presbyteries, .is that of Ottawa, the average is gr?ater than this, in all the others it is less. The Synod of Toronto and Kingston has 207 pastoral charges, and 372 churches or stations supplied in connectii')". with them, Or-vngeville and Barrie have an average of more than 2 each; Owen Sound almost two ; but all the others fall below this figure. The Synod of Hamilton and London has 201 charges and 320 ctmuected churches or stations ; the Presbytery of Chatham having 44 under its 20 charges. Miimi peg, however, has 17 churches or stations and only 5 pastoral charges, but 15 ministers on the roll. Hock Lake has 66 churches or stations with only 5 charges, and 9 ministiirs on the roll. Brandon has 70, w ith U' charges and 26 ministers on the roll. Regina has 105, with 4 charges and 26 ministers on the roll. -Vnd Appendix No. 28. 111. f'dliimbia has 45, with 12 ch.arges and !) ininistcrs on the Koll. Is there not in tliis a call for .lynipathy and |irayer for those who have abundant labors claiming: their attention and energy, and warrant for the exjH-c- tatinn that our Church shall increase — for will not many of these churches and stations which are now in connection with others become separate and self-supporting? According to the rejKirts this year there is sitting accommodation for 410,07r» jiersons, being an increase c'f .'W,'?!? ujKm the number reported for the previous ye.ar. Part of this increase nuist be ascribed to fuller and more correct returns, and part of it to an increase of church edifices, or the enlargement of some in wli'ch worship had b»!en previously conduct'-d. It is a gratifying fact that some congregations have had to I 111. vide for themselves new buildings with larger room, and others have had to extend their walls although tlicy have made no change of site. Congregations and stations report through their Presbyteries 7(),226 families as being co.mected with tlieni, which gives an increase of 4,315 on the previous year ; .and iO,()97 single j)er8ons, about 1,000 more than were then rejiorted. Of the total number of families connected with congregatior a oidy .57,441 are rpported as contributing to the support of ordinances. The returns on each of these thne items are very far from being satisfactory, and your Committee had almost said that their incompleteness — the omissions (jccurring — are inexcusable. Some sessions do not report the number of families that have committed them- selves to their spiritual oversight, and is it uncharitable to conclude that if they cannot do so tliey are not faithful to the trust they have been called to undertake ? May not congregations in most instances, if not in all, and ought they not to be divided into districts, with an Elder specially charged to look after each, who would thus be brought into contact with the families residing in it, and be able to rejtort the numbe; eak of its being not only useless but hurtful. Many congregations have in no year reported the number of contributing families, and thes«-i have, consequently, always apjieared disproportionately small compared with the number of families reported as connected. It is now suggested that the Committee to be appointed for the year now current be allowed to change the question from its present form to " Number of these (families) not contributing to the supirort of ordinances." Let the question be tried in this form, and should it also prove unsatisfactory let it be withdrawn. The number of communicants sums up to 136,598. Last year it was 127,611, giving an increase of nearly 9,000. Of that number 18,046 have been added in the course of the year, namely, 12,562 on their own profession of faith and 5,484 on certificate. Last year 10,555 entered into the fellowship of the Church, showing an increase for the year embraced in this report of 2,007, gathered in from the world, and oiwnly and iivowedly taking up the cross of Christ to follow him through good and through bad report. In some congregations the accessions have been large, confirming reports that have been published of the outjjouring of the Spirit of God in His quickening jjower in more localities than one. God has been bearing testimony to the word of His grace, and is calling upon the Church gratefully to acknowledge His faithfuln(!ss in fulfilling His i>romise, and to believe and pray that He will bless still and even more largely. Communicants remov- ed iluring the year are rejjorted as 8,213. The 5,484 added on certificate must include some of these, but the others, not thus included, must not be regarded as lost to the Presbyterian Church, although it is ])os- silih' that some of them, in removing to new districts, have failed to keep up the church connection to which tlicy had been admitted, or to continue in the imjjrovement of the ordinances which, at one time, they observed. Baptism was administered to 10,264 infants, during the previous year, an increase of 359, and to 1,051 adults, an increase of 43, forming an aggregate of 11,315, and a total increase of 402. The number of Elders is given as 4,879, an increase of 109, and an average of more than 6 to each pas- toral charge. Other office-bearers number 7,797, an increase of 30, and an average of about 10 to each charge. The average attendance at weekly prayer meetings was 43,708, being an increase of 4,083— figures which again prove that God has been pouring out the Spirit of grace and sup|>lication u|Km congregations, families and individuals. Who can ascertain, or even conceive, tlie benefit resulting from the united i)rayers offered at such meetings to individual saints, to sinn(;rs in the way of their conversion, to households, to congrega- tions, to the Church at large, .and to the kingdom of Christ in its advancement in heathen lands? Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes were attended by 108,284 young i)ersoiis, showing an increase of ",3ii4 ; and these were ministered to by 12,070, engaged in Sabbath School work, an increase of 309 on those I't'iiorted for the previous year. A'olumes in libraries sum up to 183,681, an increase of 154 on the preceding year, while there was a falling off of 2,155 volumes that year as comi)ared with the one immediately going be^>re. There are 414 Missionary Associiitions in congrtigations, with 21 Vvoman's Foreign Missionary Societies and one Ladies' Aid Society. Rock Lake is the only Presbytery in which a Missionary Association does not exist. In Pictou there are 18, one for each i)aHtoral charge. In Toronto there are 32 for 34 j)astoral chaifjes. There are 77 such associations in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces with 178 charges ; 55 in that of Montreal and Ottawa with 151 charges, but one Presbytery, that of Lanark and Renfrew, reports 17 ^V^nlan's Foreign Missionary Societies and oTie Missionary Association distinct from them. In the Synod of Toronto and Kingstcm with 207 charges there are 145 Associations, 1 Woman's Foreign Missionary So- cii'tv in the Presbytery of Peterborough, and one Ladies' Aid Society in that of Guelph. In the Synod of Hamilton and London there are 117 Associations and 11 in that of Winnii)eg and the North- West Terri- tories, Your Committee may observe that in compiling these figures they have ccmfined themselves to the an>\v( rs given to the question in the statistical schedule, *' Is there a Missionary Association ? " '"*' .V. Appendix No. 28. li There are provided for ministers 400 maiiHes, 72 rented houHes, and 2 nut described, in all 564, being aa ncrease of 20 on those rei)orted for the year before. 15 manses were built and 30 churches, some of tnesc to take the place of fonner buildings, and others erected for the first time. One church was enlarged, 2 repaired, and 4 not stated whether they were mans(;s or chur'ihes. One hall was also provided. The following Presbyteries report that they have no Mission Stations in their bounds : Sydney, Wal- lace, Prince Edward Island, Whitbyj Stratford and Maitland. No reiiorts as to whether they have Mis- sion Stations or not have been received from the Presbyteries of Newfoundland, Victoria and Richmond, Lanark and Renfrew, and Columbia. Truro, with 4 Mission Stations, sends no report ; Glengariy with 1 ; Toronto with 7, and London with 2. The Presbytery of Rock Lake with 9 " charges " containing fUi stii- tjons, and Regina, with 32 " groups," having 5>7 "charges," do not report, or else rejiort them without dis- tinguishing them from regular pastoral charges. In the reiM)rt from Brandon it is stated that there are s Indian Missions with 8 missionaries and 2,432 Indians under religious instruction. The Presbytery of Halifax reptirts that it has 7 Mission Stations ; Lunenburg and Shelburno, 1 : St. John, 9 " fields " ; Mini- michi, (J stations ; Quebec, 8 ; Montreal, 6 ; Ottawa, 8, two of these French; Brock ville, 4 ; Kingston, !t "fields," containing 30 stations ; Peterborough, 5 "fields." containing 14 stations; Lindsay, 4 stations; Orangeville, 8 ; Barrie, 27 "groujS," containing 82 stations ; Owen Sound, 4 groups, containing 14 sti- tions ; Saugeen, 3 stations; (.iuelph, 3; Hamilton, 6; Paris, 2; Chatham, 3; Huron, 1; Bruce, 14 "groups," containing 59 stations, and Winnipeg, 13 stations. Reference has already been made to the other Presbyteries. Your Committee suppose that a distinction has not been observed in the different reports between Mis- sion Fields or (irroui)s, and Mission Stations, so that thesr are unable to state positively and precisely how many there are each. Looking, however, at the figures given it must be admitted that the Church has n wide, interesting and promising Home Mission Field, and she has warrant to expect that she shall be blessed with such prosperity in the future that these groups or stations shall be erected, and some of them soon, into fully organized congregations under settled pastors. The reports from these stations have been fuller for the period embraced in this refwrt than for any pre- vious year, although there are not a few defaulters and the returns of some are very incomplete. In the 409 churches or stations supplied, according to the returns received, there is sitting accommodation for 19,701 l)ersons ; there are 4,400 families, and of these 2,591 are reported a.- contributing to the sui>p<}rt of ordinanct-s. and fi02 single persons. The number of communicants is 5,438, of whom (5,019 were added during the year, namely, 5,438 on professit)n and 581 on certificate, and 237 were removed by death, or f)wing to other causes. Baptism was administered to 505 persons, 403 of these being infants, and 102 adults. In these stations there are 19(J elders, and 535 other office-bearers. The average attendance at weekly prayer meetings was 2,283, and at Sabbath School and Bible Class 4,396, with 524 engaged in Sabbath School work. The volumes in libraries are returned at 7,425, showing that the children and others having access to them enjoy opportuni- ties of reading works of a religious character and fitted to nourish an intelligent jnety. There are 35 Mis- sionary Associations ; 32 of these being in the Presbytery of Barrie, the other Presbyteries reporting theiu being Kingston, Hamilton and Owen Sound, each of which has 1. In the Presbytery of Quebec there are 3 manses in its Mission Fields —Pictou, Brockville and Owen Sound report 1 each, ana Winnipeg reports 1 rented house. In the period covered by the rejjort 12 churches were erected in these fields ; 2 of these in the Presbytery of Miramichi ; 1 in Ottawa ; 2 in Lindsay ; 4 in Barrie, and 1 each in Owen Sound, Guelph and Winnipeg. This is a gratifying indication of the life and energy that have been called into exercise, and affords [iromise of future prosperity. FINANCES. I . If it was gratifying to be able to state that the returns on statistics show greater evidence of prosperity than was to be anticipated, it is also gratifying to have to remark that the same thing may be affirmed of income and expenditure. On stipend promised from all sources there is an increase of .?15,24r, the total amount being .S70(5,0()(!. These figures, however, do not show the entire sum promised for this purpose ; as several congregations, and among tliese some of the strongest in respect of numbers and ability, do not give any answer to tne oucstion. It is difficult to account for the omission on the part of their Treasurers, even if the congregation were- vacant, and much more where there are settled pastors. And is there not a dereliction of duty on the part of Pres- byteries when such incomplete returns are received by them and forwarded to the Oommittee without an eflfort to i)rocure the information which has been withheld ? The stipend received from all sources was $667,218. As there was no column under this headindf in the forms for last year no comi)arison can be made. Neither can any judgment be fo.'ined as to the actual amount promised, and the actual amount received because of omissions in the replies to the latter question similar to those to which reference has just been made. Your Committee need scarcely be at the trouble of remarking that both th 'se questions are intended for all that comes under the name of stipend, from wliat- other fund, te of the returns is replies are not full : and tliis is true, particularly of charges that have been vacant for the whole or part of the year. The stijjend i)aid by congregation alone was $1,100 less than that promised, but §13,855 less than for the previous year. The aggregate was .^()28,539. Arrears of stipend actually due sum uj) to §14,920. It is far from being pleasant to your Committfi' to have to record this fact, and it is far fr(mi creditable to congregations and Presbyteries to have it mentionerl against them. In some Presbyteries, and against two or three ccmgregations, the arrears are large and of long starding, although the injunction has been frequently rejieated, and, it is to be presumed, has licfii obeyed, that steps be taken by Presbyteries in which congregations are in arrears to their pastors to have the same discii-arged with all convenient speed. Only two Presbyteries in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces- Wallace and Newfoundland — report no arrears. One Presbytery in that Synod reported last year 82,074 ; this year reports !?2,H43, and these by three congregations, namely : North Sydney, .SI, 668, an increasi' of $1.39 ; Cape North §675, an increase of $130 ; and Boularderie 8*500, the same as in previous report, dnlv one Presbytery— Olengarry— in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa; reports no arrears. The total amount in Api'ENDIX No. 28. V, tli:it Synod is 81,083— last vf-ar it was S744. increasi' .$3,39. Tlie two largest items are those of Quebec, .S303, ;iii(l Brockville .*'43i>. Neither of tlieso had any arrears last year. In the Hynod of Toronto and Kingston !*"J,4SG are reported, tlie greatest amount, !?7.3() being, in the Presbytery of Saugeen ; the next, ^(i8.5, in that of Orangeville, and the next, .^37(>, in that of (Jwen Sound, anj an increase of .S301, the .igjjregate amount being !?1,1(14 this year, against 81,013 last year. In six Presbvterit's there is an increase aniountnig to .8477, .and in three a deereaseof .817(> — the last being bciidon 837, Stratford .*10, and Huron 812!». In tlie Synod of Winnipeg and the North-West Territories, tlii' arrears are .82,r)40, of Nvhich .8148 are in the Presbytery of Winnipeg, against .81, enditure on ciuirches or manses. Tile total contributions to the Schemes of the Church were $193,453, an incre.ise of 8717. But allow.aiice must be made for some congregations which did not send in remittances owing to the ciiange of the year, those which should have appeared in these returns being reserved for next year's report. Taking these Schemes in their order there were raised for College (ordinary) Fund 812,479, decrease compared with last year .851)5 ; College (special) Fund, 824,247, decrease 81,4!)0 ; Manitoba College, .86,134, decrease 81,551 ; showing a total decrease of 83,630. From these figures it will be seen that the falling off is chiefly in the contributions to Manitoba College, and the Special Fund. Your Committee do not think tliere is any use of tracing this to the different Presbyteries of the Church. All of these have sent remittaaoes to the Ordinary Fund, with the exception of those in the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West Territories, one Presbytery in which, Rock Lake, contributes 83 to the Special Fund— all contributing to the Manitoba College to the sum of 81,783. Of this Winnipeg fjave 81,094 ; Rock Lake, 859 ; Brandon, 8423 ; Regina, .819" ; and Columbia, «J10. Only three Presbyteries outside of this Synod have not contributed to tlie Special Fund, and only two to Manitoba College. The largest amount without any exception raised for this college was by the Presbytery of Toronto, $i,392 ; the second by Winnipeg— the sum being alread" given ; and the third, 8741, by Montreal. The smallest amount is from Quebec, $2 ; and the next snuallest, 87, from Sydney. The payments to the Home Mission Fund were 832,204 ; last year they were .832,509, a decrease of .8305. To the Augmentation Fund 831,250 ; last year, 833,077, a decrease of 81,821, giving a decrease on the two of 82,126. La;jt year there was an increase of 81,5'J4. Fa>'inent in full of ProfesHors' and other Haliirien— only a Minall portion of which in rained in their bouiiiN. This is not done by the Preobyterien of Montreal, Toronto or VViiinipeg. Your Committee have coni[)iled, as haH been done in former yearH, a table of averages (ler family and communicant for each of the purposes stated, not taking into account the delayed returns.

We bless God for Y^>ur Majesty's long and beneficent reign, and, in common with our fnllnw- subjects throughout the Empire, we lender you our heartfelt congratulations on the Jubilee of your accessitiu to tlie Throne. Amid the many features tl at have marked Your Majesty's reign, one of the most prominent is the cxtens'on ( ;" your Colcnial Enii)ire. The Exhibition of Colonial products in your Capttiil lust year fianiliarizt-d many with the resources of Ciinadu, as well as of yi'ur other Colonial possessions. It wi'l be the ehort of the Presbyteiian C'hurcli to provide the ordinances of reliKion for our fellow-subjects fiom the mother country who may secure for thi'mselves homes upon our wtstern l)rairies, in the hope that there may bo maintained, within all parts of ur Dominion, loyalty to the Empire and obedience to the (Jod of our fathers. We trust that the jjresent peactfai relations existing between Your Majesty's Empire ami other ni'tii^ns niay remain unbroken, and that Your Majesty's Government may be able to decide idi iiational questions without the arljitrament of war. We pray that Your Majesty may long be spared to reign over us, and thnt the richest blessing of the King of kings may rest upon you and u[)on every member of your Royal House. In jname and bj appointment of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. R. F. BURNS, D.D., MudtraU/r. ADDRESS TO THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. To His Excellency the Governor-General op Canada. May it please Your Excdivncy : We, the members of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in annual sessinn ascembled, avail ourselves of this opportunity of expressing our continued esteem for Your E.vcei- lency and our loyal attachment to the institutions of our land. Being asstmbled at the City of Winnijieg, we note with special interest the progress and prus- pects of the I'rovince of Manitoba and of the North- West Territories. While the settlement of our western i)rairies opens new avenues for the labour and enterprise of the older Provinces, it is the dntv of the various branches of the Christian Church in ( 'anada to see that the new settlers shall not be left without the ordinrnces of religion. This duty is very clearly recognized by the PresuytiMian Church, and it will continue to be our aim to secure here as elsewhere thoughuut our Dominion the worship ot God and tlie faithful observance of the laws of our land. We congratulate Your Excellency on the high and increasing esteem with which you ure regarded by the people of Canada. We respectfully offer to you and to Lady Lansdowne the ussur- ance of our best wishes on your behalf. And we iiray that you may always enjoy the guidance iinii blessing t)f Him by Whom kings reign and princes decree justice.

(2) These amounts do not include the amounts receiveil at Montreal or Halifa.x. Tliere lias been a notable decrease in the amount received for the Cfuumon Fund for ColleKes. But more has been Kiven for the several I'oUeges separately, so that it is probable tl.at as much luw ^*«'n i;iven for the support of ('olle^es as in any former year. It is to be regretted that there i« a ifcrease in the amount for Manitoba College. The contributions for the Assembly Fund are a little in advance of those of last year ; liut there i»STeat reason to complain of the negligence of many congregations to bear their share in contri- uutiiij; to this object, and also of the late period when many contributions are sent forward. It «h(>uld lie Istrne in mind that the greater part of the cxjtenses connected with the Assembly mtist be I'aid at an early |)eriod of the financial year.

We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to bear testimony to the remarkable accuracy with which the Books, Accounts and Vouchers are kept ; in teed, considerinp; the vast number of entries, the accxiracy is wonderful, and the value of the Rev.
