The .\ssembly warmly thanks the Free Church of Scotland for its renewed gift of One Hundred Pounds Sterling (£100), also appreciates the interest of our own peojde shown by their support of the Funds ; and commends these to the intelligent considera- tion and increasingly liberal support of all our people, young and old, so that there may be no diminution of effort to care for the spiritual wants of even the most scattered poi-- tions of our adherents ; and that there may be also a yearly increasing contribution to th» work in the Great North -West of our Dominion.

Coming from Nova Scotia to what is now the Province of Ontario, more than half a century ago, and entering on a field of laliour as a minister of the Gospel, he endejiied himself to the people to whom he was specially called to minister in holy things, and to all with whom he was brought into contact, and has had no small influence in forming and moulding the religious life and character of many persons, and in helping to lay the foundations of that righteou.sness which exalteth a nation. At an early period in the history of that branch of the Presbyterian Church with wliich he whs connected, his qualifications for the duties of Clerk were seen and acknow- ledged, and he was chosen to fill the position en the removal of the former occupant by death, and he was in the ottice whi u the union took place in 1861 between the Presby- terian Church of Canada and the United Presbyterian Church, and was continued in the United Church. When the union took place, in 1875, between the Canada Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, the Presbyterian Church of the Maritime Provinces in connection with the Church of >Scotland, and the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces, he, from the one branch, and the late Professor Mackerras, from the other, were associated in the Recording Clerkship ; and when, in the Providence of God, his colleague was taken fiway to the Cliurch above. Dr. i. raser was appointed to undertake all its duties, and has continued to discharge them to the satisfaction of the Assemljly down to the present date. The General Assembly woi.ld put on record an expression of its gratitude to God for the service to the Church which He has enabled Dr. Fraser, in his ofticial capacity, to [500] render f( work to neatness occasione in his dei spared tc It W) That the the minu Fraser.

That this Assembly having heard with gratitude that the Lower Courts of the [oOo] 40 ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE EIGHTEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY Church so fully recognize the earnest and faithful preaching and teaching of the Word of God as the principal factor in the Temperance Reform, and that their importance, especially as they bear on the evils of strong di'ink is of late years being more strongly emphasized with good results, urges all its ministers to give increasing prominence to sermons on Temperance, and all its Sabbath school teachers to use the many opportunities they have to instruct their classes in sound temperance principles. 2. That this Assembly, having heard the unanimous and vigorous denunciation given by 80 many Sessions and Presbyteries, in all parts of the Dominion, of the saloon or dram- shop, and deploring the large numbers that are reported as plying their demoralizing traffic in so many centres of population, desires to place on record its unqualified condem- nation of the saloon or dram-shop, as a centre of most degrading influences, and a source of great danger to the Church and country, and its conviction that the license system has been proved insufficient to effiecCually remove the terrible evils of the drink traffic, and that, so far as legislation is concerned, nothing short of prohibition, rigidly enforced by the proper authorities, should ever be accepted as final or satisfactory. 3. That this Assembly accepts the appointment by Parliament of a Royal Commis- sion of Enquiry into the Ijiquor Traffic as a step in the right direction, though very far short of the prayer of the petitions presented to the Session of 1891 , and instructs its Committee on Temperance to urge upon the Government the vigorous prosecution of the work of that commission, so that its report may be presented at an eariy stage of the Session of 1893, that there may be time for dealing with the great question of prohibition, fairly and fully, without any unnecessary delay. 4.

That this Assembly, recognizing that the saloon, or dramshop has a firm strong- hold in the pernicious hsibit of "treating," is gratified to learn that the "Commercial Men's Anti-treating League " is meeting with much success in removing a serious tempta- tion and in weakening the influence of the saloon, and expresses the hope that it may be the means of leading many to adop- the practice of Total Abstinence, in which alone there is absolute safety from the evils of strong drink. 6. That this Assembly gratefully acknowledges the good work done by the various Temperance organizations, and an increasingly large portion of the Press, in trailing the young and educating the public in the principles of Temperance and Prohibition, and recommends office-bearers and members of the Church to give such organizations and such portion of the press due sympathy, ^acouragement and support. 7. That this Assembly, fully recognizing the potent influent j of women in relation to the drinking customs of society, and the importance of proper home-training, earnestly recommends all the women of the Church to discountenance the use of intoxicants in family and social life, and all mothers to train their children in the principles of temper- ance and prohibition. 8. That, in view of the importance now attached to the scientific teaching of temper- ance in the public schools of the country, and the iirovisions being made for such teach- ing, this Assembly directs its Committee on Temperance to call the attention of the Provincial educational authorities to the necessity of making suitable provision for giving instruction on the moral, as well as scientific bearing, of the use of alcoholic liquors, and that Presbyteries' Committees on Temperance be instruclod to memorialize public school inspectors within their bounds to have a Temperance Manual systematically used in all the schools under their jurisdiction. 9. That this Assembly approves generally of the plan of organization, as contained in Section 2 of this report, and recommends it as a simple and practical plan for doing eflec- tive temperance work within the Church.

The Home Mission Coiniuittee in prusenHiig tlieir rcpoit to the General Assembly express their s;rntitiule to God for the continued success that attends this important department of work. Year after year the nuinl)er of Mission Fields and Augmented Congregations, especially in the more distant Provinces and Territories, are increasing with a rapidity that must tax the liberality and energies of the church for many years to come. The hope Tined has been transferred to the Augmented List. The Darling mission has been divided, part being attached to Middleville and part to Dalhousie, which two stations formerly constituted a settled charge. This re-arrange- mont will result in two .settled chaiges, and be of exceeding benefit to the st^'.tious in Parling township, whioli have never had winter supply. With some aid from Presbytery a new and commodious churcli has been erected in a central position in the township of Alice, as a result of which two if not three preaching ntations will be tlirown into on*., and the work greatly consolidated. SijanriUe has been transferred from the Augmented to the Home Mission List temporarily. PRESBYTERY OF HUOCKVir.LE. Our mission sfaitions are o.'ily two in number, directly connected in aid-'i;ceiving fields ; the others are either self supporting or iiavo been transferred to Augmentation List. The two as yet in receipt of grants are : il) JhirriU's Rapids, which is a young but promising field, and is under continuous service almost tiie whole yciir. (l!) Morton and t^nivi/s Ba\i, which is filled by an ordained missionary, who is doii;g g(>'id service in that vicinity, and keeping our cause together. More seems to bo impo.ssiblo. North WiUlanuhnrg and W. Springs have been removed to Augmentation List, and are about to call a graduate of one of our colleges. In the first year they will re(juire grants from Augmentation of $150 i)er annum. atone's Ciirnvrx and North Augnnta are still continued as a mission field, without grants, under the expectation that they v/ill be able to proceed to regular settlement soon.

The mission fields have been supjilied regularly during last summer. Whiter servi- ces were conducted as follows : — At Roslin and Thurlow, Tweed, Portsmouth, Freder- icksburgh and Bath, Sharbot Lake, Consecon, etc., every Sabbach ; in North Hastings fields (4), during Christmas holidays, and at Demorestville nearly every Sabbath, by members of Missionary Association of Queen's College. Lev. Jas. Mcllroy continues at Poland, etc., and Rev. Geo. R. Lang, B. A., at ^^'olfc Tslicud, as ordained niisaionaries. In Tweed, organized about eighteen months ago, a neat church edifice has been erected and oiiened under most favourable auspices. Subscription sheets were sent to every aid-receiving mission field. Six of these have been returned with amounts subscribed by the people. The others are expected at an early date. From reports of the students, endorsed by delegates who visited the fields, good work has been done during the year ; and, in most instances, substantial progres.^ has been made. PictoH is transferred to the list of mission fields, and Mr. D. McPhail, a member of the graduathig class in Theology at Qvieen'E College, has, at the people's request, been appointed to take chi'.rge for one year, as ordained missionary, his appointment to date from ordination. The stipend promised is §050 per annum, without expense to the Home Mission Fund. I'ine Street missi(m, Kingston, inaugurated and carried out by Queen's Missionary Association, re<|uests the services of an ordained missionary and promises a stii)end of 8900 per annum, to bo made up as foliiws : — From families connected with the mission, S300 ; from Queen's Missionary .-Vssociation, §300 ; and from members of the Kingsttm congregation, .S300. By reciuest, Mr. Boyd, of the graduating class in Thet^logy, who has boiMi intimately connected witli the mission from the beginning, will take charge as ordained missionary in due course. PRESBYTERY OF PETERBOROUOH. All our mission stations were supplied during the summer months, and our mission- aries report a fair measure of success. The membership in theC/iautio.s and Burleuih field is large, and in Clydesdale — o!ie of its stations — a Sabbath school and prayer meeting are maintiiined throughout the year. A regular service during the winter months is all that seems tu be needful in ordei to build up a strong mission churcii. From Jhwi ij the student missionary reports that the people take a deep interest in his work, and in every way have sought to encourage and dtrengthen him. Here also a winter service seems to be indispensable to permanent success. The Minden and Mallbnrton field has fimr stations, so that supply can only be given to two of them, on each alternate Sabbath. There lias been a winter as well as a summer supply frogress has been made. The following have become pastoral charges, and are removed from the list of mission stations : — 1. Parry Sound. — Rev. J. B. Duncan, inducted on August 11. 2. Sudburij. — Rev. S. Rcmdeau, M.A., inducted August 2(5. 3. Snndridije.- — Vacant and desirous to call. Several changes have occurred respecting the ordained missionaries in the field. The Rev. John Garrioch was removed from Powassen in ()ctol)er to Airlie, Banda and Blackbank. Rev. R. J. Adamson, M.A., who laboured in the last named stations hist summer, was appointed to Allandale for the past six months. Rev. D. M. .lamieson was obliged by ill health to resign his labours in Magnetrtwan. Rev. R. J. Sturgeon left Waubaushene, etc., on March 31, his two years' term of ap2)ointment having expired. The Rev. Mark Turn')ull was removed in ()ctol)er from Medonte to Severn Bridge and St. Paul's, Morrison, and left in February under an appointment to the North- West. Owing to rearrangement of the district in which Rev. Henry Knox laboured, he is for a time at least witliout engagement in this Presbytery, there being no suitable field for him. It is with much regret to the Presbytery that Mr. Knox is not still in the bounds as a fellow-labourer. He came about ten years ago as a Catechist, supported )•;, tho late Mr. McCrae, of Guelph, and gained the conridonce and esteem of the brethren to such a degree that leave was sought from the General Assembly, and obtained, to ordain him. He has been successful in the various fields of labour occupied ()y him, and is reganled by the brethren as a conscientious servant of the Master. The rearrangement referred to is that of tiie congregations of Hillsdale and Elmvale, the pastoral charge of the Rev. George Craw for many years, and of a number of mission Httitions in their neighbourhood lying to the north of Barrie. Hillsdale and Elmvale have been disjoined. To Hillsdale, Craighurst, formerly one of the Minesing group, has been united, so as to form a self-supporting charge. To Elmvale, Knox Church, Flos, formerly connected with Wyevale and Gibson's, has bein united, also a self-susttdning charge.

Wyevale unci Gibson have been united to » new stiitidn, Vtvn Vluck, near the mouth of the Nottawnsaga River, a resort of suuuuer visitors, some of whom have expressed the desire that tht re should be the services of our Church. These changes leave Minesing and Midhurcc somewhat weakened, but it is believed that they were nececsivry for the growth of tlie Church in that region. In the numerous rejjortf from the stations there are few refci'onces of interest for these notes. An ordained missionary gives the following impression of work in Muskoka : — " My field is like many i.Chers of these new mission churches, neither better nor worse, hard to work because tiie w- 'kera are few. Then there are all the difticulties and drawbacks which life in this new and rugged country interposes. People are poor, hard-wrought, and many churches or denominatitms. Still, the interest is increasing, and the work is gaining ground. Comfortable tokens of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit are enjoyed, and the devoted missionary has the joy of the promise, ' Your labours are not in vain in the Lord,' and of seeing some fruit gathered to the glory and praise of the Lord." The student missionary in the new field, Shebeshkong and Carling, was appreciated by the people, and he thus appreciates bis field ; " In this field there is a great room for work, especially at Shebeshkong station, because there are no services held there by any denomination except ours." Another student was difi'erently situated in a village on the C.P. R. He writes, "This station has been abundantly supplied with services, there being ifethodist and Episcopal services every Sabbath, in addition to our own, for less than thirty families all told." At Cooper's Falls a new church was erected and opened with a debt of only §50. A donation of that amount was made to the station by Mrs. John Thompson, of Longford. Monkman's, in towimhip of Tecnninch. — Tiiis was reported hist year as a now statiim. It was organized on April 13, by Rev. .f. McD. Duncan, B.A., with a membership of thirteen communicants. Mr. R. H. (Jlover, the missionary, reported at the close of his summer services : " The number of families has steadily increased, and there has been a steady contiiiual growth in numbers and interest." He gives the number of families as thirty and of communicants as thirty-nine, nine of whom were received on profession of faith. Allandale, under the care of the Session of Barrie, has d(me well, and has required but a small part of the grant in aid which was asked for. Colliiujwood Mmintaiu and Gihraltor. These stations have long laboured under the disadvantage of having no winter supply, and that not merely because of scarcity of supply, but of the alleged difficulty of travelling between the churches because of the roads being blocked by snow. They manifested a desire to have supply this winter, and accordingly they had the services of ordained ministers for fifteen Sabbaths from October to .Fanuary. They are desirous to become a settled pastoral charge, and have j)romi8ed a stipend of ^500. Could this be accomplished a long-cherished desire of the b'resbytery would bo attained. PRESBYTEUV OF OWEN SOfNI). New churches have been built at Pike Bay, in the Indian Peninsula, and at Holland Centre, the former costing about $450 and the latter $600. These sums do not include the work freely given by members of the congregations. By using the se"vices of young men preparing to enter on their study for the ministry supply has been given during the winter more than in years past. We have secured an ordained missionary for Lion Head and appointed him Episcopus of the district ; also one for Johnston and cimnected stations. We hr.ve a committee appointed to co-operate with a simihir connnittee of the Metho- dist Church to define more clearly denominati(-nal bounds, from which we expect good results. VIU. Appkxdix No. 1. PRE8BYTBRY OF SAtJ(JEEN. This Pi-esbytery has two missions and ono augmented charge. 1. BahiMaca, Ayton and Nwmanby. — Those stations have been supplied during the year by a student. Bahiklava congregation built last year a new church in the village of Mildmay at a cost of *2,000. 2. Cotswohl. — This field has been supplied every Sabbath afternoon by the Rev. M. C. Cameron, Harriston. An otl'ort was put forth to unite the aforesaid with Rothsay in the (ii'eljjli Presbytery, but so far, with no good results.

By the removal of ()nonda<,'a from the Homo Missiim list to the Augmented, by its union with Alberton, there remain now only three Mission Stations under the care of the Presbytery : — Balfour Street, U'est Brantford, under the care of Zion Church, and St. Andrew's Mission, also under the care of Zion (Church, both wrought withoutexpenso to the Committee ; and New Dundee, which is supplied during the present sunnner by the Knox ■College Student Society. PRESBYTERY OF LONDON. There is l)Ut one Mission Station just now within the bounds of this Presbytery. A poor and hmg neglected district in the nortli of Kkfrid Township has been taken up by the neighbouring ministers - Messrs. Henderson, Simpson, Stewart and Currie- and by their ellbrts a fortnightly service has been given them through the winter. The attend- ance ranges up to about T". It is believed that the continuous labours of the student or missionary in this district would be the means of gathering a congregation. It is felt to be a great shame that Morm'.Ji proselytizers should lind ways and means to creep into a place like this given over to poverty and ignorance. The committee has not seen its way clear to help. PRESBYTERY OF CHATHAM. Mission. Fiehl. There is no material change in our mi.ssion field. Colchester group had service in the past winter, and paid 8112 for the same. Buxton group has been erected into a vacant charge, with promise of ^ToO iind manse. Blytheswood group have had the services of an ordained missionary during the past winter. Renoud Lure paid ftlOO to reduce the debt of the Chuich built. - PRESBYTERY OF SARNIA. There is but little to report regarding the mission fields of this Presbytery, number is the same as last year — three. The Appendix No. 1. iz. In the Inwood Sola f)Ui' cause is making stcivdy progroHs. It is oxpcctod that this Held will in a shot/ time ho a self-sustaining congregation. The work in the ISomhra field has for many years l)oen rather discouraging, but better success is hoi)ed for in the future, as some of the difficulties in the working of this field have been recently removed. The Marthaville field is made up of one station, with no change to report for the past year. I'UESBVTERY OF HURON. There is really no mi.ssion station in this Presbytery. In the meantime Leobuni and Union Church, Goderich tinvnsliip, botii of whicli were formerly connected v.'ith the (ioderich charge, are being wrought as a mission .station. They receive constant supply and meet all expenses themselves. PltKsnVTKKV OF UKICK. Our Home Mission interests in the district of Algoma have made encouraging pro- gress during last year. The following fields have been fully occupied : — Sault Ste. Marie, Tiirbiilt, St. Joseph Ishmd, Bruce Minos, Burpee, Gore Bay, Little Current, Kagawong, Blind River, Spanish Mills, Wcbbwood and Manitowaning. Nearly all of these places have outlying [)roachir ; stations where sei vices are regularly kept up. The Presbytery regrets to say that it has not been able to send miasiunaiies during the winter months, to Day Mills, ProviJeuce Bay, Cockbuni Island and Thessalon. With regard to the last named congregation, we feel very keenly that we were not able to send sucli supply as would lie suited to their condition. It was reported to us that they wer ready to call a pastor. To furt'' . tlieir wishes the Presbytery appointed an ordainen man to go for a limited time, but ho declined. After some delay, and considerable cor- respondence, another (n-daini.'d was found, who signified his willingness to go, but "La Cirippo " interfered and he could not go. In this way this very important congregation Mas all winter without the services and care of a missionary of our Cliurch. (i'om; lidii deserves special notice. Less than a year ago it had a meml)ership of (J(>, now it has KM, and our missionary says, he is confident that by the middle of .Fune next the membership will run uj) to 'JOG. Its financial condition is ecjuidly encouraging. Several churcli liuildin'.,'s have been erected and completed this year. Nearly all the fields have contiibutod hamlsumely to the general Schemes of the Churcii. MrsKOKA AMI Al.OOMA. {Iti'inni of lier. A. Fnidlaij.) The half year just closed, Mke those wliich have preceded it, has ! een marked by incidents calling forth expressions of gratitude to the great King and Head of the Church. At the beginning of the term want of suitable supply for many of the fields was severely felt ; but this was, in a measure, overcome in due time We began with nine niissinnaiies for twenty-tive fields that were anxious for supply in ^luskoka, and the same number of missionaries for sixteen fields in Algonui. We wore able, however, to supplement this number by one man in Algoma and four in Muskoka before the nuihlle of t'.io term was reached. By doubling up the fields and giving to some of the men two, and in some cises parts of three, fields, wo were able to cover the ground partially, if not satisfactorily. North Bay and Suiulridge, recently i)laeed on the list of vacant congregati(Uis, are as yit without settled pastors, but look forward hopefully that in tho near future they will enjoy tho services of tho man of their choice. Wo have been able to supply them fully daring these months. X. Appendix No. 1.

May those who are left to mourn be abundantly sustained by Him who alone can give comfort and conso- lation. Since my last report 1 have visited more than once, as occasion required, all the stations in Muskoka receiving supi)ly, and some of those in Algoma. The work has been going on satisfactorily in most cases ; showing that while the missionary in charge lias been striving to do his duty, ofttimes under groat difficulties, the people appreciate the eflbrts which are being made to supply their spiritual wants. Still the intermittent char- acter of the supply in some cases, or tlio want of it altdgetlier in other cases, during those six months, tolls very forcibly against progress such as is desired, and may reasonably be expected, under other circumstances. Some of our stations, in Parry Sound especially, will sutler severely during this coming season through an unusual emigration t(j Manitoba and the North-West — not more so, perhaps, than in some of the older sections of the Church in ( )ntario ; but we can bear the loss less easily than they. The conse the past year have contributed to the Schemes of the Church the sum of $1,250 — nearly Ss250 more than last year. The greater portion of this was, of coui-se, for the Home Mission Fund, though the claims oi the other Schemes were not forgotten by them. Two facts are noteworthy in this connection. Ist. While the contributions to the Schemes are larger than in former years, the amount of arrears, so far as we have learned, is less ; and 2nd, where arrears do occur they are not found to any extent among the stations which contribute to the Schemes. "There is that scattereth and yet hicreaseth— and there is that with- holdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." Our work in many of the fields has been interrupted somewhat by the [)re valence of the "grippe" in forms more or less severe. While our missionaries with one or two exceptions have been kept free, their time has been fully occupied in visiting the sick, while the attendance at many of the services has been very much diminished. The Ladies' Association i:f St. Andrew's, Toronto, and of Orillia cimtinue their interest in the fields they have taken inider their especial care, viz. : Burpee, in Algoma, ]»y the Ladies of St. Andrew's, and Carling, in Parry Sound, by the Ladies of Orillia. In both these fields service was continued during the winter, and arrangements have been made for the summer as well. It is to be hope 1 that ere long other associations will be found following the example o' the above in this matter, and so share the satis- faction which we know they enjoy from engaging in the work in this definite form. A new church was opened at Bar River, a station in connection with the Tarbutt field in Algoma in February last ; also a new station was opened in the adjoining town- ship of McDonald in coiniection with the same field. Faithful work on this field should soon give us a settled charge. Elders have been elected but not yet ordained at Rosseau. XII. Api'Kndix No. 1.

Nor must the TiUmberman'a Mission be omitted here as deserving s|)ecial mention, which thro\igh Dr. Arinstronj;, of Ottawa, placed a valuable collection of literature at the disposal of some of our missionaries for distribution among the men in the camps. The Missionary .Vssociation of Knox Colh'ge comes to our aid for the next six months as in fwrmer years, but with an increased nundier of missionaries. Four of these will occupy .fields in the Presbytery of Bruce and fourteen in the )*resbytery of Harrie. In November last a meeting of the missionaries with some of the ehlers on the Algoma field was held for the purpose of consick-ring the advisability of establishing a Presbytery in that \mvt of the field. After considering the subjee*^^ fully it was agreed unanimously to address a memorial to the Supreme Court of the Church thi'ough the Presbyteries and Synods affected asking for the establishment of a f'resbytery, to include that portion of Eastern Algoma now within the bounds of the Presbytery of Bruce, and that portion of the District of Nipissing within the Presbytery of Barrie. As one stand- ing outside this movement, yet understanding thoroughly all the circumstjinces connected with it, I can heartily commend this most important matter to the favourable considera- tion of the mend)ers of the next (Jeneral Assembly. It has already been endorsed by the Presbyteries to whom it was referred, and we earnestly hope it will meet with like con- sideration from the Supreme Court of the Church. It will do nnich to strengthen our cause throughout that region of country ; it will do very much to encourage the band of faithful missionaries who are labouring there under many serious discouragements, and we believe will do very much to deejien and extend the influence of Presbyterianism in a most important and rapidly developing section of the Dominion. Synoh of Manitoba and the Nokth-Wkst. (TninHTnif^ by Dr. liobertnun.) (lENERAL STATEMENT. Many circumstances have cond)ined to direct attention to Western Canada of late years. It has occupied a prominent place in discussions in the Dominion Parliament ; the newspaper and {joriodical press advertised it in Canada and Britain ; delegates from the Mother Ljind and from the continent of Eurcjpe have visited the country and rejjorted, and their reports have been sown broadcast ; men of leisure and men of business have come, seen aiul been concjuered ; and agents in Eastern Canada, in Europe and even the United States have placed, a.s never before, the merits of the country before intending immigrants. And, no doubt, the check immigration to South aViuerica received has helped Canada. Time, moreover, is proving the adaptability of the West for settlement, and confidence in the future of the country is inci-easing. That the co intry, at this stuge, could export 16,000,000 bushels of wheat in one year is proof of its Appendix No. 1. xnu cftpiil>ilitioH. And when peo]ilo, who moved went yuiirH n^^o, return to Ontiirio imd tliu Miiritinio ProviiiccH, and tell of thuir kiiccchh, no wonder if fivthers with liirKo fimillieH docido to try tluH new liind. And the VVeHt in n good land -ii land of wlieiit and barley, of liutter and milk ; a lanil wlier,000 souls are said to have entered the C(unitry liy the C.l'.R. alone. Land conunissioners report thit sales this sprin;; have been doui)le or treble those of any previous spring, and the rush to certain districts has 1)eeu such that facilities for locating settlers have lieen overtaxed. Of the newcomers a large proportion are from < )ntario, a few from the .sea Provinces, and a considerable contingent fntm liritain and the continent of P^urope. From Dakota, Canadians, who si-tllcd ilieri! yeni's ago, are returning liki^ Maomi from the land of Moiib, That they went out full and are coming hack emjity is no fault of theirs. They are welcome. The wonderful discoveries of silver in the Kootenay Lake country have attracted a large number of miners from Montana, Idaho and Washington, and, if half of what is told is true, wo may expect several important cities to spring up in that region. A corner lot, .'JO feet wide, in the town of Nelson, was sold this spring for .*i4,000. The British Columbia tjlovernu:ent has passed the reipiisite legislation accepting a loan of 87o(),lM30 from the Imperial Government, and is now arranging to locate Scottish crofters on the west coast of Vancouver Island to develop the deep-sea tishing. Since these people hirgely belong to our Church, we must bo prepared to provide them with the means of grace. The Roman Catholic Church is endeavouring to plant colonies of her own people, from Quebec and the New England States, in Manitoba and the North- West, and .so recover lost political power. SIjo has hitherto met with but inditi'erent success. Very few Iri.sh Roman C'atholics come to the West. Etlbrts are nmdo to settle colonies of Jews on our vacant hinds. The prospects of success is doubtful. The .Jews who attempted farming some years ago did not persevere, hut gradually drifted into our cities and towns, and betook themselves to the more congenial employment of second hand stores, pawn and junk shops. MORMONS. There is a settlement of Mornnms established near the American boundivry, south of LethbridiiO. They gave pledges to the Dominion Government that they would not viohite the laws of Canada in the mat r of marriage. Many of these peojtle are ignorant, and hence became the victiuis of shi. vder men. The settlement is increasing, is i)ros- poring, and likely to be joined by otiiers. Should they be left to multiply and spread without any ell'ort being made to evan 'I'lize them? A mis.sion might bo ditKcult to establish and maintain, but, if we are to judge from the exjierience of the American Church, there is no doubt about the ultimate success of such an effort. UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS, Philanthropic societies in Britain deport a number of children and youths to Man- itoba and the West. Many of these are the oft'spring of criminals and paupers, and not xiv. Appendix No. 1. by any means desirable accessions tu our population. In this case it is much more blessed to give than to receive. This immigration should be regulated or stopped.

In 10 years the population in Manitoba increased 145 per cent., and in the Terri- tories 1G4, notwithstanding the large decrease of the Indian population. RELIQIOUS BELIEF OF THE IMMIGBANTS. In belief the great majority of the settlers coming from Britain and Eastern Canada are Protestants. The colonists from the continent of Europe for the most part belong to the Reformed and Lutheran Churches. Taking the immigrants as a whole the great preponderance is Protestant. From Catholic Ireland and Europe few seek homes with us. As in the past, a considerable proportion of the new-comers are Presbyterians, and we have no more thrifty settlers than those who were reared on oatmeal and the shorter catechism. Out duty to provide for the children of the Church is evident, but what about the foreigners that ccnie to sojourn among us l The Uerman and Hungarian, the Ice- lander and Scandinavian, are sturdy Protestants. The boast of catholicity on our part belong should be exemplified in caring for those who are not otherwise provided for, whatever their nationality or faith. To be a Presbyterian a man must not of necessity talk Gaelic, or broad Scotch, or hail from Ulster. The lack of an ade(]uate revenue prevented us from undertaking this work in the past ; the time, however, has come for broadening the scope of our work, and so showing that Presbyterianism is not a creed of race or locality, but adapted for all nationalities and races. It stands high in the estimation of Western people for its energy and adaptability ; let us shew them its catholicity ! WHEBE ARE THE IMMUIRANTS SETTLINU i These incomers are finding homes in large numbers in the Province of Manitoba, and in parts of the North- West previously settled. They prize tlie advantagea of churches and schools and nearness to railways, and, hence, many of them are purchasing railway lands instead of settling on free grant lands that may be some distance at present from any rail- way. The railway built to the Souris coal fields sent thousands into South-Western Mani- toba and South- Eastern Assiniboia. The railways extending northward from Kegina and Calgary have caused an infiux this spring into the Saskatchewan Valley ; and it is likely that from Edmonton there will be an overflow shortly into the Peace River country. The Appendix No. 1. XV. railway bvilt south from Sicamouse, in B. C, has opened up the O'Kanagan Valley, where the Earl of Aberdeen lately purchased 14,000 acres of land for $250,000. He is to settle Scottish farmers on his lands, and, judging from the fertility of the soil and the excellence of the climate, his venture is likely to prove successful. The lands between Calgary and Edmonton (200 miles apart) are being occupied, and the construction of the railway to Macleod will fill up the 100 mile stretch between Calgaiy and Macleod. It is to be regretted that we have not missionaries at many of these points to welccjme settlers. We follow when we should accompany or precede. DANGERS OF IMMIliRATION. These movements of population arc always accompanied with more or less risk. The religious habits of uumy of the people who come to us are largely the result of their sur- roundings and associations. VVlien surroundings are changed ; when former associates are left behind ; when boat and railway travjl prevent the proper observance of the Sab- bath, and there is no minister of religion to welcome the new comers, or care for those who are strangers in a strange land, when, for weeks, months, or even years, there is neither minister nor sanctuary, what wonder if in some hearts the flickering light goes out 'I Christianity has suflered irreparable losses in the United States by early neglect ; and Western Canada has not entirely escaped. The gambler, the rum-seller, and the stiange woman travel by fast express— the Church by slow stage. When the Church arrives she fin.ls saloons, gambling hells and worse phices in full blast, and largely con- trolled by bilks. We have suflered comparatively litJe, so far, east of the Rockies because of the class of settlers coming to us, but success in nuning districts means an influx of many undesirable citizens, and we must govern ourselves accordingly. The missionary should accompany the settler, not follow him afar ofi". LiyUOR LEGISLATION. Since the last Report some changes have taken place in reference to licjuor laws. Up to the beginning of this year Prohibition was the law, although not by any means the practice, in the North- West. Through permits issued by the Lieut. -Governor, the admis- sion of beer with 4 per cent, of aloohol, and other violations of the spirit, if not the letter of the law, the people became dissatisfied, and the Legishiture, at its recent meeting, passed what may be callted a species of high license law. The Synod believes this to be a step backward, but it is yet too evirly to pronounce on the merits of the new departure. It ah.iost looked as if the authorities conspired with li(iuor men to make Prohibition a failure, and so secure a change. In British Columbia a law came in force le of the North- West Territories, to have the right t > decic'e "hat system of public school education they shall adopt. " And, further, the Synod declares its opinion that no system of public school educa- tion car 'oe permanent or satisfactory to the people of Western Canada which confers on any one Church rights superior to those enjoyed by any other Church." ^'ORK OF THE CHURCHES. Romun Catholic Church. The religious welfare of the people of the West is aired for by Protestants and Catholics alike. The Roman Catholic Church, in a commendable way, provides for her people, however remote the settlement fro^i civihaition ; and manages to procure a pastor who can ajieak to the people in their own language. A)u;lican Church. The Analicun Clu:i'ch employs a large number of missionaries auKmg the Indians, ajid devotes much attention to the incoming settlors. Ritualistic practices, however, in the Qu'Appelle and Alberta dioceses have disturbed the harmony of several of the con- gregations, and alienated the sympathies of not a few sturdy Protestants. The West is not congenial soil for the jiractice or propagation of ritualism. Mcthodid Church. The Methodist Church is extending her work, as she did in the early days in Ontario. Since the (teneral Missionary Committee met in Winnipeg, after the date of our own General Assembly there, tlie Methodist Church has been much more energetic in the prosecution of Western work than before. Larger appropriations of money have been made and a better class of missionaries .appointed. She fully realizes the future impor- tance of the West to the Church. Baptist Church. Of recent years the Baptist Church has been more active. Her missions are mostly started where other Churches have been labouring for years, and, since the Baptists in the West are not numerous, success can only be secureil by separaticms from some other denominations. In a sparsely settled country like Western Canada the undue nmltijilica- tion of weak religious organizations is to l)e deprecated. Congregatiiinal Ch n rch . The Congregational Church has very few ministers west of Lake Superior, and is doing nothing to advance purely mission work. Appendix No. 1. xvii. Lutheran Church. The Lutheran Church has organized sev.ral congregations among the Scandinavians and Icelanders, but that Churcli is incapable of overtaking the wants of its scattered children. It lacks financial backing. Fresbyterian Church, Although the work of the Presbyterian Church among the Indian population is less than that of the Roman, Anglican and Methodist Churches, yet it exceeds that of any other Church among the white settlers. This was to have been expected when so large a proportion of the population belongs to our Church. Mennonitea. In Southern Manitoba, between the Red River and the Pembina Mountain, and also on the east side of the Red River back of Niverville, are found a large number of Men- mmites. They keen to themselves, but judging from what one hears in travelling through their villages, vitf.l godliness is not so prevalent as is desirable. Without a competen person speaking their own language nothing could be done ; and correspondence with ministers of our Church in New York and Princeton revealed the fact that a suitable German-speaking missionary was difficult to procure. Western Canada is of vast extent, has vast and varied resources, is capable of sup- porting a large population, is attracting population from all (quarters, and the first duty of Canadians should be to provide the new comers with educational and religious institu- tions. People are plastic now, they shall take a set in a few years. In 100 years Christianity has increased its numbers from 200,000,000 to 450,000,000. Where did the additional 260,000,000 come from ? From heathenism, 3,000,000 ; from internal growth, 247,000,000. The colonization of America, Australia, etc., has helped largely to make the change. Nortli America in a 100 years is likely to have a population equal to the ])resent population of China. What shall be its character? That Largely depends on what is done for the people now. STATEMENT OF PROOHESS FOR THK YEAR 1891. The past year has, on the wh ,' ' been one of the most successful in the history of our work. Several causes con • ■ •' to this result. The crop in Manitoba and the North- West was large, and better lacuities for marketing it obtained than in any previous year. There was quite an influx of settlers of a good class, and, as before stated, they located in districts already located, where they could enjoy the advantages of schools and cliurches and be near railways. By this means existing church organizations were strengthened, and it became easier to provide for the spiritual wants of the new comers. A considerable number of ordained missionaries were in the field, and continu(ms services were given at a large number of points during the whole year. Above all, the presence of the Spirit of God was felt among our people, resulting m a (juickened spiritual life and the accession of a number of valuable people to tlie membership of the Church. EXTENT OF WORK. All the mission fields previously occupied, with two exceptions, received supply, and tliese are provided with missionaries this sprini.'. Tliere was also a considerable extension of work ii to new districts, and the fuller supply of districts previously occupied. It must, however, be stated tiiat in tlie whole Cariboo district, where incomplete census returns shosv that there are about 0,000 people, we have not a single missionary, although a num- XVUl. Appendix No. 1. bor of the chik'rtn of the Church are known to be settled there. Nor has the C' nrch any missionary beyond Edmonton, although a number of our people, formerly in the employment of the H. B. C(j., are known to have settled on the Peace and other northern rivers. The Roman Catholic Church maintains missions 1,800 miles beyond Edmonton, and takes good care to provide for her people whatever their location or language. The progress of many of our missions is fretjuently arrested owing to the intermittent nature of our supply of many fields, the wide districts in which some missionaries are obliged to labour, and the employment of men without experience and without the requisite training for the work. In a distance of 200 miles between Edmonton and Calgary we had but one missionai-y. One student is struggling this season to cover the 200 miles between Golden and the American, and another is learning how to spread him- self over a field eighty -five miles long by thirty to thirty-five miles wide. This looks like one man trying to farm a whole section of land (040 acres). STATISTICS. ' At the meeting of the Home Mission Committee in March, 1891, there were 132 missions on the list. Several other fields were occupied during the season, so that, including the missions advanced to the status of congregations, 146 missions were supplied. Sixteen of these are congregations, two — railway missions — no longer call for our care, and some others are temporarily connected with other missions to efiiect a saving of nier and means. This spring we begin with 137 missions on the list, vith the prospect of an increase in the near future. In the missions supplied last year t.wenty-six churches and seven manses were built.

If to these are added. 71 ministers for self-sustaining and augmented congregations, 209 will represent those in charge of English-speaking congregations and missions. In the college are 4 professors and a tutor, and connected with Indian and Chinese missions are 8 ordained missionarie!- and 23 teachers, instructors and matrons. There will thus be seen to be 245 persons in the employment of the Cliurch in Western Ontario, 136 of whom are ordained and 110 unordained. COMPARISON. It will be of interest to compare the strength of the Church this year \vith the returns of previous years. This statement, however, is only an approximation, for it seems almost impossible to get complete returns. Missionaries vary, too, in making returns. One man reckons as Presbyterian families only those in which husband and wife belong to our Church ; another, where either belongs, is willing to reckon one-half. One man rigidly excludes all but avowed Presbyterians, another includes those attending Presbyterian services and no other, although not in the membership of the Church by professiiHj. With these explanations here are the figures : — ISS^l. 1891.

Ccmsiderable attention was paid to the organization and etficienb maintenance of Sab- bath schools. The imporbvnco of this department of work is accentuated in the West, from the fact that family worship, with the instruction of the children, is not so prevalent as in the East. Schools in Ortario generously send books and papers, and thus, in iv small degree, contribute to the success of our schools. The Upper Canada Tract Society has given valuable help to now districts t)y allowing a liberal discount on library boi' ^ The Sabbath schools in Wiiuiipog, Port Arthur ana Portage l.i Prairie give us, in addit m to b(H>ks and papers, large financial aid. It is estiuuvted that in summer at least 14,000 attend our Sabbath schools and liil)le classes. DISPENSINO OF SACRAMENTS. Arrangements are made from time to time to have the sacraments of the Church difi- ponsed in all our misnions. Communion rolls and baptismal registers are provided, 8(» that the attairs of the mission nuiy be kept in order from the outset. People are desirou-^ XX. Appendix No. 1. of having their children in visible connection with the Church, and it is gratifying to report that a large number of the young men of the West have made ])ri)fession of faith in Jesus Christ. STATE OF RELIOIC.V. It is difficult to report with much confidence on the state of religion in so large a Synod as that of Manitoba and the North -West. There are indications, however, that lead one to report favourably. In all the country between Lake Superior and the Rockies the Sabbath is well kept, and in British Columbia an improvement is noticeable. The attendance on Sabbath and week-day services is general and regular on the par: of par- ents and children. The accessions to the commuifion roll are largo. There is a good deal of activity in the erection of cliurches and manses, and for this object as well as for the support of their pastors, the people give geneiously. There is a healthy temperance sentiment ; and sessions are seldom called on to exercise discipline. It is to be feared, however, that family worship is not general. In a new country, where opportunities of acquiring profjerty are frecpient, a worldly spirit is apt to take possession of many to the Itjwering of their spiritual life. British Columbia suffered because of early neglect and abiiormal conditions, but there has boon a decided improvement recently. The presence of the Inilian in the North -West, and of the heathen Chinaman in British Columbia, in different -vays hel])ed to lower the moral tone. STlDEXTs' MISSIONARY SOCIKTIES. Valuable help was givpii by the missionary societies of Manitoba, Knox and Queen's Colleges the past year, and thty all have a nuvubor of missionaries in the field this year. v)ne could wish to see Montreal ulso represented, but fields in Quebec no doubt are needy. SPECIAL ASSISTANCE. The cordial thanks of the West are due to the congregations and individual members < f the Church who gave such generous aid to mission work last year. Their help is needed and solicited, and of as many more as may desire to join them for the coming year. It is not too much to say that without such help our work must have been seriously hindered. CHl'U '1, AND MANSE FUND. The Church and Manse Board rendered good service in providing ministers and con- gregations with homes. tJudging by the acknowledgments in tlie liecord, the Fuml gets no cnlk'ctions frcun congregations, :uid is soldom'remenibered in the wills of the wealthy. During tlie last ten years the Fund has helped to build over 2()0 churches and manses, and never were tin; calls on its aid so numerous as this spring. MISSIONS VACANT DIKING WINTEH. Twenty-six missions, with about 120 stations, are reported as having been vacant during the winter, while fifteen mure were supplied by students from Mani(o!)a College during tiie session. Fifteen more were siipi)lie(l liy catechists. Some of the fields left vacant perforce are important, sucli as Winlaw, Alameda, Musselboro', La Riviere, Cart- wright, Clear Springs, Colloston, Saskatoon, Carsdale, Dmigola, etc. At some of tliese jMiints we represent Protest;. ntism, and if we give continuous service, other denominations will not enter the field. SUMMER SESSION. But one extra-mural student entered tlie Western mi:identH from tlie Kast, one from Edinburgh and one from Princeton, entered the mission field this sju'in;.', pledging themselves to remain in the field all winter and take a sessicm in Winnipeg if the Assembly should decide to make arrangements for such a sessior. CHARACTER OF HOME MISSIONARIES AND VALUE OF THEIR WORK. Comparisons have been freqiinutly institutoci during the year in the Church papers between the mi-s^ionaries in the Home and Foreign fields and their work. That the former in a less degree command the sympithy and support of the Church and awaken less interest generally is freely admitted, And attempts have been made to explain, if not justify, the discrimination. It is creditable to the Church that she is doing so much for her missionaries abroad ; Inn' neglect of the missionaries at home is inexcusable. Let a foreign missionary return to Canada, and he is besoiged with applications to be heard in city and town. The home minHJonary is left severely alone. He may have a thrilling story to tell ; no one cares to hear it. He is only a Home Missionary. Even the General Assembly does not care to eiupiire whether :■ few representative Home Mission- aries might not be heard with protit when tlie Home Missionary Report is under consideration. Mark the different treatment meted out to their brethren from the Foreign field. Does anyone explain the dillerenoe by mentioning the isolation in the Foreign field ? The nnssionaries at Comox, .Alberni, Nelson, Kettle River, Battlcford, Ft. Frances and other points are compelled to prosecute their work far away from their brethren : and, in some cases, if they have Christian societ; now, it has tliroiigh God's grace h :r. 'lieir own creation. Does anyone suggest hard work ? The great majority of missioiiinies in the West preach three times on Sabbath the most of the year, and drive frequently front thirty to forty miles to attend to duty. And for two months and a half the mercury any day may become solid. Yet seldom are the people disappointed, though hli/.zards do blow and the air has an edge occasionally. Visiting has to be conducted over large areas and at all seasons, and systematic and frequenr visiting is es.sential to success. Nor can study be neglected. Many of the people are well informed, axv e(»nstantly reading, nave been accustomed to good pr;>aching and like to criticise. To cveitake his work, one of iiiir missionaries walked every >Su'>b;itl< seventeen miles on tlie laii^vay tie?. .Another, tliis spring, hearing of a new .settlemetit, got blankets and " grub," and packed them on his back seventy miles over a rough mount lin trail to minister to the wants of the new- comers. Such men say and write little, bu \M)rk hard. What of self-denial ' One of them was L'alU'd last season to a city congregation, with §1,"J0() of a salary, but declined. The salary received was about oue-half of that offered. .\iiot)ier, on liis arrival in the field, was infonied tl> it a mid.sitmary was not wanteil, and wouM rc'.'eive no .support. "He is needed," lie replied, "and if 1 get only the grant fiMJin the ( 'uinniittee, I am going to stay.' His self-denial and decision commanded respect .ind secured success. Still anoilicr, linding his people struggling to [lay what they hail promised, remitted !*li(lU annually of t!ie aaionnt due, and lived on the balance, and said notiiing about it. R occujiies a wide field, and can preach only fortnightlj- at his stations. On "blue" Moudjiys he sets up the ty])e, and prints, in condensed f(Piii), tlie sermon of tlie previous Sat)l)iith, and sends a co))y, in tract form, to each of tlie families in tlie stations not 8up|)lied. Copies are sent to the Superintendent, and he does not know which to admire the most, tlie superiiu'ity of the printing, the excellence of the sii'iiioiis, or the intor[)rise of the iiiission.uy. Tiicre J.re bits of rare stuff in tlie Home XXll. APPfc'-NDIX No. 1. field. E:r paucis dlsce (mincn. Nor should this subject ho dismissed without testimony being borne to the large lielp given to our niissionivrics by their wives. These good women cannot afford to hire help, and hence, whether well or ill, domestic duties fall on them. It is useless to talk of a furlough ; there are no funds. It is only when deatli has invaded the old home in tlio East that the wisli to return rises in the bosom, and then only a letter can be sent. In a word, the missionaries of the Church are men of high character ; not a few took a high pLice in college and seminary ; they are moulding thought in the new West, and they deserve the sympathy and support of the Church in a more generous measure than has hitherto been accorded them. They are making the Church, and the Church that shall yet be the mainstay of foreign work. DETAILEr TATEMENT OF MISSIONS IN THE SEVERAL PRESBYTERIES. The state of the different missions in tlie several Presbyteries will api)ear from the following sketch. Much of the success of our Home Mi-ssions is duo to the large amount t>f work done by the Conveners of the several Presbyteries. PRESBYTERY OF WINNIl'KCi. The mission tjeld of this Presbytery is one of the largest in the Synod, and perliaps one of the most difhcult to overtake. Speculators purchased, in early days, a good deal of the land in the vicinity of Winnipeg, are holding it for good figures, and hence settle- ment is progressing but slowly. But yet a number arc finding homes in the district every year ; and all new-comers, as far as possible, are cared for. Proximity to Manitoba Col- lege gives the Presl)ytery an advantage in the supply of its missions during winter, and of this source of supply it has availed itself to the advancement of its work. During the year Dominion City and Morris became augmented congregations and called pastors, and Millbrook did the same in the spring. Norman will be connected witli Rat Portage for supply this year, and Whitemouth with Beausejour. There will thus remain 2.T mis.sion8 on tlie list ; with 87 stations, 564 families, 150 single persons and 515 conununicants. The condition of each ni'iion will appear from the following statement : — 1. Clear Spritigs has increased its families sliglitly, but growth is slow bewiuse the people aas hemmed in by French and German settlements on the north and west, and bog "ti -'!»e aoutii tud east. No other Church holds services in the district. Preparations are «ati' t be built thrm.gh the settlement shortly. 2. Little Bramtn is i>ne of the settlements along the Red River that date I)ack to Dr. T?m. k's days. There is bin little growth, and scarcely any is expected. Rev. A. Matin— .n, who was once past' ; cf Little Britain, is api)ointed tliere this year. & Fort FniHccx mailt-wmie [iroiii-ieMs, liut, owing to isolation of the district, the absence of a^Bdiway and its distiance f r' >ii! .Aarkets, rapid progress is not to be looked for. Tlie missioaary in chargt- '->">k seriously ill iirn<)d shows dticided growth, its families having increased from 41 to GO, and Its commuincant.-' from 91 to 114. Steps will ere long l)e taken to call a jiastor. o. Gretna i« unitea -■■■■■^ supply, t.i t\s^o stations in North Dakota.

Tho communicants number 60 — double tho number of last year — while tho families are 20. 7. Silver Mount is in the mining region south-west of Port Arthur, and is liable to tUictuations in population. It held its own during tho year, although not much progress is recorded. 8. Iquace is a railway field, tho missionary travelling about 250 or 800 miles, and caring for tho settlors along tin' mad and tin; C.P.R. employe's and their families. Igniuo itself 18 the end of a division and has repair shops. At ten points services are hi Id. There are 80 families, a large number of single men and 26 communicants ccmnected v ith the missicjn. 9. Schriebi'r. Here, for several years, Mr. William Noilly laboured with great fiiUU ity and marked success among tho railway men and fishermen found along tho north shore of Lake Superior. Last autunni his canoe was swamped in rounding a point on the lake, and ho was drowned. The C. P. II. people turned out all their availal)lo men to search for his body, but so far it has not been rocovorod. Mr. Noilly had at the time huccoss- fully complote;M f^r several seasons past, graduated this spring and is appointed as ordained missionary. This mission received only 31 Sabbaths' supply during the year. McNab St., Hamilton, provides supplement. 8. Killarney, under Mr. C. W. Whyte, made a decided advance. A manse was built, and arrangements are being made to build a church. Mr. Whyte has accepted an appoint- ment to the Indian Sclxxd at Cotes Reserve, and another missionary is placed in charge < to 41, and connnunicants from 41 to 59. A church and a manse are to be built this sununer. 18. Roland is a new field on the N.P.R. east of Miami. Roland, Clegg (formerly in connection with Miami) and Rosebank will form the new group, with adja'ient territory east and north-east of Roland. There will be about 30 families in the field at the outset.

The field is not strong, but will likely receive additions during the season. This is a new mission. 15. Ninga lies between Boissevain and Killarney, and is largely made up of stations- formerly connected with Boissevain. The mission is new but promising. 16. South Killarney. — Valuable work was done here last year. PRESBYTERY OF BRANPON. Fourteen missions were reported from this Presbytery last spring, and of these Alexander and Wawanesa have become self-sustaining, and Elkhom has resolved t«» follow their example. Holland, McGregor and Whitewater have called pastors and passed oft the list. This is a creditable showing. Thirteen missions are reported this year, including Elkhom, but excluding Daybreak, which will get supply otherwise. 1. Arizona has gained largely in families and communicants. Steps have been taken to build a church at Arizonii. The field was under the Students' Missionary Society of Knox College last year, and satisfactory work was done. 2. Douglas is a strong mission and ready to civU a pastor. A church (stone) was built in one of the stations (Oreeford), and it is proposed to move the Douglas church, which is. about two and a half miles from the railway station, to the village. The people are in good heart, and could call a pastor at once. 3. Mkhom.— An effort was made at this point to unite the Presbyteriais and Methodist bodies, but it failed. The Presbyterians were willing to leave it to a vc te^ but some occult influence was at work and the movement collapsed. The Presbyterian people were so dissatisfied with the tactics of the other body that they resolved at once to become self-sustaining, and asked to be left alone. Some people preach, and are willing to practice, the lying down of lion and lamb together, if they are allowed to play the lion in the game and let the lamb disappear. So the Presbyteries judged, and acted on their judgment. 4. Lakeside is a field near the southern and on the western side of Lake Manitoba. The families are not numerous, but increasing. The families reported last year were 16 and the communicants 21. The respective figures this year are 22 and 36. 5. Griswold is composed of Griswold — separated from the Oak Lake congregation — and the Menteith field. There are 60 families and 70 communicants, and a pastor can be called at once. 6. Pipestotie made satisfactory progress during the summer, but sufiered through lack of continuous supply during the winter. With an acceptable pastor it would become a congregation at once. 7. Torholton had continuous supply and made fair progress. Its distance from a railway militates against rapid growth. The field is promising, having 3 stations, 37 families and 63 communicants. 8. Brookdale received supply during the summer and made but sligat progress. It is growing, however, and continuous services no doubt would quicken the pace. 9. Breadalbane is formed by uniting this station (detached from Virden) with Penrith and Kinsmore. The field is strong and will soon become a congregation. In the Penrith field good work was done last 'ear. St. Andrew's, Almonte, provided supplement for Penrith field last year and preceding year. Daybreak will receive supply from neighbouring missions. Appendix No. 1. xxvu. 10. Saskatchewan is formed by the grouping of three stations, two west and one east of the Little Saskatchewan, near its junction with the Assiniboine. The field has 27 families and 45 communicants, with the prospect of substantial increase. At Saskatchewan a church is to be built this summer. 11. Minnewawa lies between the N.P.R. and the Souris River, and west of that stream in its course north-east from Langvale to Wawanesa. The field has 40 families and 45 communicants. Erskine Church, Toronto, generously provided the supplement for the past year. A church is to be built f\t the main station this summer. 12. Taggart is a new field, and formed by attaching two stations demitted from Souris to unoccupied territory lying southward. The field has about 35 families and 45 communicants. There will be 3 stations — Taggart, Fairfax and St. Luke's. 13. Parkissimo was occupied for the first time last year, and increased its numbers, although it is not yet strong. The operation of the Manitoba Central Railway will likely come soon, and Parkissimo will be much benefited. PKE8BYTKRY OF MINNBDOSA. The greater part of this Presbytery is not so fortunate in its territory as those already under consideration. The country is much higher above sea level than the country far- fjfl ther south, and hence more subject to fall frosts. It is a famous grazing country, with rich soil ; and those engaged in mixed farming are doins; well. The growth of our work here will not be as rapid as in the Presbyteries of Brandon and Rock Lake. When the Synod was formed, in 1884, there were only 2 augmented congregations and 9 missions within the bounds of the Presbytery ; and now there are 4 self-sustaining congregations, 4 augmented congregations and 20 missions. This is a gratifying advance In the Pres- bytery are 20 missions, 78 stations, 724 families and 899 communicants. Thuy are as follows : — 1. Arden increased in families and communicants, and is in a healthy state. A church is to be built at the central station this summer. 2. The Meadowi lies north of Rosedale and was occupied last summer for the first time. Settlement is extending in that direction, and the mission, though weak this spring, is likely to receive considerable accessions during the summer. 3. Franklin (Bridge Creek) increased in strength, and is in a very satisfactory condi- tion. An ordained missionary takes charge. A church was built last year. ' 4. Lake Daxiphin. — To this settlement there was a large immigration last year, and our mission reaped much benefit. The work has increased so that two missionaries arc needed. Lying over 50 miles from a railway, and with a road at times almost impassable, financial results of a brilliant kind are not to be looked for. Faithful work was done, and it was appreciated. The ladies of St. Andrew's Church, Ottawa, supplemented the mis- sion. A church was built and preparations are in progress to build two or more churches this year. 5. Newdale is a strong field and ready to call a pastor. Its families decreased from 63 to 60, but communicants increased from 72 to 85. Spring Hill, N.S., provided sup- plement in spite of the great calamity experienced, 6. Stratliclair has prospered much during the past two years, and the congregation is harmonious and hopeful. It is a matter of great regret that the minister is resigning on account of ill-health. 7. Shoal Lake makes no progress. Settlers, as a rule, in this district have not pros- XXVlll. Appendix No. 1. pored as in many other places. The field is conscientiously cared for. They speak of purchasing a manse. 8. Bculah has increased a little. The field must uf necessity be limited, for the missionary has to care for the Sioux Indians in the neighbourhood. The building of the railway under construction will help ns here. 9. BinscaHh improved considerably last year. The friction that hindered progress is removed and the congregation is united. They are building a church at Silver Creek this summer. 10. Ru-fsell is growing slowly. Conscientious service is rendered. 11. Rossbum has not made satisfactory progress. Quarrels about site and church- building hindered. A church was built at Perth, largely owing to the energy of the mis- sionary. 12. Shcllmoidh was occupied during the summer, and showed signs of life and pro- gress, but the winter vacancy blighted its hopes. There are 86 families and 88 communi- cants. 13. Saltcoats is increasing in numbers and showing financial g. owth. A church is badly needed, but the people do not seem to think themselves equal to building it. 14. Dongola received supply for only 19 Sabbaths during the year, though the fami- lies number 54 and the communicants 57. Good work was done, but its full benefit was not realized. John Charlton, M.P., provided supplement. 16. Crescent Lake was supplied by a student in summer, and diligently looked after ; but the people had silent Sabbaths all winter. 16. Yorktmi is growing. The missionary is popular and doing good work. We had hoped to plant an ordained missionary here this spring, but none was available. The nearest ordained missionary is 168 miles away, and many settlers are 80 miles beyond Yorkton. Henry Kent, Esq., Toronto, provided supplement. 17. Crofters. — The colony sent out by the Imperial Government is located about 10 or 12 miles north of Saltcoats. These people are making good progress and promise to become valuable settlers. A missionary speaking their own language labours among them. The discontent of the first year is largely a thing of the past. The Sabbath school of Knox Church, Portage la Praii-ie, provided supplement. 18. Gilbert Plains is'a new mission with 4 stations, occupied this spring for the first time as a separate mission. The settlement is in the Lake Dauphin country, and rapidly filling up. 19. New Dakota is a settlement of Canadians who returned from North Dakota, having suffered several and severe crop failures in that State. They are located west of Yorkton, and a missionary is sent this spring among them. 20. Odanah is a wide field with a mixed population. The Presbyterians are not numerous, but increasing slowly. Scandinavians and other foreign nationalities are represented. Faithful service was rendered. PUE8BVTERY OF REOINA. This Presbytery extends from Fleming to Boharm, a distance of 200 miles, along the line of the C.P.R., and from the International boundary lino to Prince Albert. It suffered much in the past through crop losses, but last year the people were blessed with a large yield. Lands abandoned in past years are reoccupied, and new lands are t.vkeD Appendix No. 1. XXIX. 'i up and settled on. One mission became a congregation, and two churches were built. There is this year a gratifying increase in almost all the columns of the returns sent to the Committee on Statistics and Finance. Last year Home Missions received $210, this year §401. Augmentation in 1891 got $148, as against $91 in 1890. Totals for Schemes in respective years, $577 and $986 ; and for all purposes, $12,467 and $18,183. Let us hope a brighter day has dawned for this Presbytery of faithful men. The figures are 23 missions, 87 stations, 755 families, 203 single persons and 837 communicants. The mission : — 1. Alameda has hitherto been supplied by Queen's College Missionary Society, and faithful work was done year by year by efficient missionaries. It was meet that when an ordained missionary was to be appointed he should be from that College, and be the one who laboured there last season. The C. P.R. people have extended a branch to the coal iields through this field, affording markets to the farmers and changing the character of our work. Oxbow, a village of 200 people, is likely to be the centre of the field for the future. Preparations are made to build a church this summer at this point. The field was vacant all winter. 2. Winlaw for years was supplied by the same Society from its inception till last year. A graduate from the College is appointed to the field this spring. This field lies east of Alameda, with its centre on the same railway. This field, too, was vacant all winter. The supplement furnished by Parkdale. 3. Battleford people are spirited, but their isolation and distance from railways operate very much against them. When the grant was reduced in March, 1891, from $12 tc T per Sabbath, the congregation undertook to made up the difference. A heavy church debt rests like an incubus on their shoulders, preventing financial advance. The congregation is holding its own, but making no headway. 4. Buffalo Lake was occupied during the whole year, and has made a decided gain in every respect. The missionary was our only extramural. 5. Broadvktv is weaker than last year. Many of the people have left the district. It was united to Grenfell for winter supply. Knox College Students' Missionary Society supplied it in summer. 6. Carlyle remains stationary. Crop losses in past years and distance from markets have hindered growth. 7. Cafhcart made a perceptible advance last year. The missionary is able to preach in Gaelic, and is much esteemed by the people. The circumstances of these people are improving. 8. Collestou advanced but little owing to lack of supply in winter. More settlers are going to the district since the railway was built. 9. Fort Qu' Appelle is increasing in numbers and financial ability. The membership increased from 46 to 59. 10. Oreeti, Valley has gone back rather than advanced. It is far removed from markets. The contemplated new railway will pass through the settlement when built. 11. Grenfell has made a slight advance, but its life is still feeble. 12. Kinistiiio has improved a little, but its distance from market is against it. The M. & N.W.R. is surveyed to pass through the settlement, and its advent must change the whole aspect of things. Until last summer our Church alone sent a missionary to XXX. Appendix No. 1. this settlement. Our missionary taught school, too, for six mouths. The Methodist Church, two of wliose families lived in the settlement, sent in a missionary last spring. We thought at one time of abandoning the district, but our people protested, and petitioned that a missionary be sent, offering to do liberal things towards his support. The congregation of St. John's, Brockville, offered to provide a supplement, and a missionary was sent. It is likely there will be only one missionary this season. Census — 19 Presbyterian families, 2 Methodist, 18 Anglicans. 13. Landsdowne has increased its communion roll decidedly, and is in good heart considering the injury inflicted by hail in 1890. Two missionaries in succession took ill, and work was thereby hindered. 14. Longltiketon, — For years Knox College Student Missionary Society faithfully and efficiently supplied this field. It is to be supplied by the Society this summer. A church is to be built at Lumsden. 15. Carsdale lies north-west and west of Regina, and is becoming a strong mission. The settlement was composed of a superior class of people from its inception. The families number 67 and the communicants 40. Knox College Students' Missionary Society supplies this summer. It should call a pastor. 16. Saskatoon has not grown. The settlement is not thriving, and yet 32 families, 16 single persons and 19 communicants are reported. A Queen's College Missionary Society student ministers to the people this summer. 17. Touchivood our Church alone supplies. There will be no growth tiU a railway reaches the settlement. Farringdon Church, Brantford, generously provides the supple- ment. 18. Whitewood is improving its record under the faithful guidance of its missionary. Sabbath school and Bible class work is doing much for the young people. 19. Woheley is in much better heart this year. A stone church was built at Mofiat, and preparations are made to build a manse at Wolseley this summer. 20. Welwyn has made slight progress, but with continuous supply, by an ordained missionary, would soon become a good charge. 21. Eoseplain built a church last year, and is strengthening in numbers and financial ability. The missionary travels over a wide field, and renders conscientious service. 22. Kenlis was detached from Indian Head, and has had an excellent record last year. 23. Coal Fields. — The railway is expected to reach the Souris coal fields in early summer, and since a number of settlers are already found west of Alameda, and a number of miners are expected to engage in bringing coal to market, an appointment must likely ))e made early to this region. 24. Cartiduff lies between the Alameda field and Winlaw. Owing to the inrush of settlers there this spring a new mission there is a necessity. PRESBYTERY OF CALGARY. There has been a good deal of activity and no small progress made in this Presbytery last year. Lethbridge has become a self-sustaining congregation, calling the missionary who made it to become its pastor. Three churches were built and one manse. Arrange- ments are made to build three more churches this season. There was a good deal of exploration done, and the 18 missions of last year have become 25 missions this spring, 24 of which are to be occupied at once, and the other later on if practicable. Mr. Wal- ton, of High River, and Mr. J. J. Ferguson, of Banff, rendered great service in supplying Appendix No, 1. XXXI. n fields during winter, without any charge to Home Mianion Funds. Efforts were made to organize Young People's Societies to help Home Mission and Augmentation. Fields now occupied, 24 ; stations, 94 ; families, 458 ; single persons, 665 ; and communicants, 387. The separate fields are :— 1. Ainsworth, in the Kootenay Lake country ; population mining. Ainsworth, Kaslo, Balfour, etc., included. Knox College Students' Missionary Society send man for sum- mer. He becomes missionary to Home Mission Committee in October. Field new. 2. Banjff has held its own, but was much hindered by the difficulties connected with anthracite mine. Congregation most liberal in presentation, if not church, giving v74.89 per family, and $56.17 per communicant for all purposes. 3. Boiv River is in charge of a catechist, who is doing excellent work. Lai'ge in- crease in numbers. Church being built at Sheppard. 4. Ganmore is growing. Ordained missionary petitioned for and appointed. Field not strong, but spiritual and liberal 5. Clover Bar shows no increase. The influx of settlers this year to the district will help it. Student appointed for one year. Zion Church, Brantford, Ladies' Society pro- vides the supplement. 6. Davinburg shows an increa.se in all columns. The minister is most conscientious and faithful, and highly esteemed by his people. The progress shown is all gain. 7. Donald, from its situation, cannot be expected to grow to any large size, but last year there was a gratifying advance, and a better feeling never existed since the inception of work. 8. Field is a new mission tliat received supply in the past through Mr. J. J. Ferguson, of Banff. The mission embraces a number of points along the railway on the western slope of the Rockies. 9. Oleichen is a railway field, and liable to continuous and sudden changes. Faithful and efficient work was done by the catechist, Mr, Ferrie. 10. Innisfail is the field called Red Dder last year. A good start has been made here. At InnisOul station a manse was built, and an effort is to be made to build a church this year. 50 families, 20 single persons and 40 communicants are reported. Central Church, Hamilton, provides the supplement. 11. Macleod had a missionary of its own last year, and is making progress. The un- certainty as to the point to bo selected for the terminus of the railway coming into the town from Calgary has interfered with values and building operations. This summer will settle all this, and give an impetus to our cause. 12. Pincher Creek, 32 miles nearer the mountains than Macleod, built a church costing liver $2,000 last year. Its families and communicants have increased ; and should the Crow's Nest Pass Railway be built, no doubt the town would grow rapidly. 13. Maple Creek is a railway mission which is making some headway. A church id to be built this summer. To the south a number of ranchers are settled, for whom the m ssionary is caring in spiritual things. 14. Melrose is a new field, which now is not strong, but which promises development. It lies to the west and south-west of Calgary, At one station a church is in course of erection. 15. Nelson has made a good beginning. A church is in course of erection, and a c ngregation organized. The majority of the people are connected with the mines. 16. Pine Creek suffered severely throijgh a hailstorm last summer. 28 out of 31 3 xxxn. Appendix No. 1. families lost heavily ; Home lost nil. The congregation holdH its own numerically. Tne misBionary resigned, and a student in sent in this spring to remain a year. 17. Red Deer is a new field extending between tlio Innisfail field and Edmonton, 100 miles. To that district a number of settlers are attracted by the construciioa of the railway, and the resources of the country. Knox College Students' Missionary Society occupies the field. 18. Reveldoke is growing in importance. A railway is to be built southward this summer to the head of the Arrow Lakes to facilitate getting the Kootenay Lake ores to the main line of the C. P. R. A church is to be built. Connected with Revelstoko are Ulecillewaet, lUecillewaet Mines, etc. , to the east. 19. Salmon Arm lies to the west of Revelstoke, embracing part of the railway and settlements north and south of the road. The are 27 families, 48 single persons, but only 8 communicants in the field. The Ladies' Missionary Society of St. Andrew's, Perth, provides the supplement. 20. Slocan Lake is a mining district, 70 miles north of Nelson. A large population is flowing in there, and urgent representations were made to appoint a missionary, which has been' done. 21. Upper Kootenay embraces the valley lying south of Oolden to the international boundary. There are a number of families and single persons living in that part of Brit- ish Columliia, ranching, mining, lumbering, etc. , and hitherto little has been done for them. 22. Swift Current is doing so well that this spring it was deemed advisable to divide it in two, as one missionary could not overtake the work. 23. So^ith Edmonton is a mission established at the terminus of the C. & E. R., oppo- site Edmonton town. Stone Lake and one or two other points will be included. The missionary is to teach, and no grant is asked. 24. Filot Bay is a new mining centre east of Kootenay Lake, for which a missionary is asked. No appointment has yet been made. 26. High River has made considerable progress. A church was built and the people are in good spirits. The railway in course of construction will help the field considerably. Young men of St. Paul's, Hamilton, provide supplement. PRESBYTERY OP COLUMBIA. The work of this Presbytery is progressing very satisfactorily. Twelve churches and two manses were built in missions. One mission became a self-sustaining congregation, and two others were transferred to the Augmented List. One of these is to call at once, and the other may call its missionary at any time. It is becoming more evident, however, that the work of this Presbytery cannot be managed to advantage with present arrangements. It is to be hoped, consequently, that the General Assembly may erect a Synod in the West, and divide the Presbytery into three. The recommendation of last year's report, with the division suggested, was approved of by Presbytery and Synod, and the coming Assembly is to be asked to give it effect. The Presbytery of Calgary is of opinion that its convenience would be consulted by detaching it from the Synod of Manitoba and the North -West Territories, and con- necting it with the Synod of Columbia. The Presbytery of Columbia suft'ered a great loss last year by the death of its Home Mission Convener, the Rev. D. Fraser. Appendix No. 1. XXXIll. Ltist sprins; 18 inissicjnB were reported, und 18 tliia spring. Cunneoted with *^heao are 58 statiune, (!41 faiiiilieH, 4oO single persons and 027 communicants. 1. Comox advanced in numbera and Hnances last Huason, and will soon support ordin- ancoH itself. 2. Alhvnu. — To thi.s field a missionary was sent last autumn, lumber for a church being shipped with him. There is the prospect <»f growth in the field, owing to the erec- tion of saw and paper mills. Coal has also been .found. There is a decided increase in all figures. 3. Sooke and Metchosiu received supply for half the year, and barely hold its own. 4. St. PhuVh, Victoria IVitd, etc., reports a gratifying increase in number.s. At Vic- toria West a neat and commodious frame church was built, reflecting credit on all con- cerntd. At Cedar Hill a church is to be built this year. The prospects of the congre- gation are better than ever before. Four ladies of 8t. Andrew's Church, Toronto, provided the supplement. 5. Delta complains of an unfavourable season, and yet there has been a decided advance. Two good churches were built, the tnissiou reports increased strength, and lowers its demand for aid from the Home Mission Fund. 6. Lanijley. — There has been a re-arrangement of this field, so as to avoid the danger- ous crossing of the Fraser, and hence the mission is not yet self-sustaining, as was expected. The field is strong, however, and will likely proviue for itself after the current year. Faithful work was done. 7. Mt. Lehman has increased in numbers, although progress was hindered by disputes that arose out of letters sent by the missionary t" v lONARY SOCIKTIES. ANNUAL UKI'OIIT OF THK MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF MORUIN COLLKdK, QUKHKC : 181»l-»2. The Society iont uut two iniaitionarius last spring. Tlio une visited tiie settluments along the (juehuc & Lake St. tloliii liHilway, where he held cottage iiieotiiigs while going from place to place, and took careful notes of the nunil.>ur of Protestant faniilios there were along this railway and throu>;hout that district. The other was stationed at Chicou- timi, the head of navigation on the Saguenay (wIuto ho had been, under the same mis- sionary Hociety, the previous year as nothing short of a " missionary squatter" —neither asked nor, at first, generally wanted by the residents there). Here the eti'orts put forth by the Society were marked by the blessing of God, so that ere the misHionary left on this, hiH second, sunimur in the field, he came before the Presbytery of Quebec with a petition from the ))eople of different tienominations in this field, asking tliat the Presby- tery of Quebec send to them an or lained missiimary ; and ottering, at the same time, to uive towards the support of same the sum of $G00 annually. This petition was looked upon favourably by the Presbytery of Quebec, which, with characteristic missionary zeal, succi'cded — after visitiiiL' the field in ([uostion, and seeing its importance — in securing the services there and then of llev. James Ft-rgusson, B.A., formerly minister at Windsor Mills. Mr FergusHon usaumod the office of minister in this new field last November, and is still at Chicoutimi. During the last winter our Society supplied needy localities about Quebec with divine services, receiving very satisfactory encouragement from the work done in these places. ANNUAL llEF'ORT OF THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION OF QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, 1891-9?. HoMK M1.S.S10N Work. In the Home Mission department we have been enabled to send four nii.ssionaries to the North- West, and to support one in this city. The tourth would not have been sent to the North-Wost but for the liberal aid given to the Association by the young people of Chalmers' Church, Kingston. Their generous gift was the harbinger of a plentiful liurvest, for the amoujits contributed by the North-West fields this year have never been surpassed. We trust that they were but the tangible expression of spiritual blessings received by them. The Pine Street Mission has also progressed well. The congregation is very well organized. The debt is reduced to a trifling amount. We expect that an ordained missionary will be appointed to take charge of the work in n ^uw weeks. It is gratifying to know that, although our expenses were much heavier than last year, our receipts were such as to leave a good balance in Treasurer's hand. During the winter months the missiim fields along the K. & P. Railway, a^ well as Portsmouth and Collins Bay, were regularly supplied. The hospital and House of Industry were under the charge of the College Y. M. C. A. We are grateful to the congregations, Sunday Schools, and private persons, who have so generotisly contributed to any department of the work. Upon their sympathetic co-opera- tion mtich depends. Our 8])ecial thanks are due t<. Colonial Committee of the Church of Scot- land for the annual gift of £50 sterling for N.- W. work. In closing our report we ask all our r t XXXVUI. Appendix No. 1. friends to remember in prayer our miAsionaries and their work — our missionaries that they may be faithful co-workers with our blessed Master, and that their work may result in men and women being reconciled to the Christ of God. ALAMEDA MISSION FIELD. T, E. Scott, B.A., Missionary. Fortnightly services were held in five stations, Alameda and Auburn in tlie northern part of the field, and Bierwirth's, Hope and Boscurvis in the southern part. It was found impossible to hold regular services at Dill's station on account of the distance, and but one service was held there. Sunday schools were conducted at Hope, Boscurvis a.nl Auburn with very satis- factory results. The attendance at the regular services was good, averaging thirty-eight at i-acli service. There are about thirty Presbyterian families in the field, iind forty-five Presbyterian bachelors. After two years of partial failure in crops a bountiful harvest delighted the settlers. One of the ways in which they expressed their thankfulness to God for this blessing was by contributing liberally for the support of the missionary, and alto giving something for the Schemes of the Church. The total cost of the field this summer was $382.05. Of this amount the field has already contributed §327.30, including Mr. S. Sproule's present df .1 cart and harness, valued at $56. When all the subscriptions are paid it will be found tliat the field tV -. year is self-sustaining. The railway is now ruiining as far as Oxbow, near Alameda, and thus a ready market has been opened for the produce. The result is that the number of settlers is becoming greater each week. The Presbytery and field h.ive recognized the need of an ordained missionary, and Mr. Scott, who laboured there dui-ing the summer, has been appointed and expects to enter upon the work about the beginning of June. '.•,W n^$4:. WASKAOA. J. D. ifteivart, Mimonary, This field is situated on the south-western corner of Manitoba, about twenty miles from Deloraine. the present terminus of the Pembina branch of the C.P.R. With the international boundary line as its southern limit the field includes a district about twenty miles square. Services were conducted at five school-houses : Mfdora, Princess, Verona, Moira and Lennox, and Sabbath schools at three. As for the treatment received at the hands of the people, your missionary can only corroborate the stau.monts made in former reports regarding the genuine hospitality with which he is welcomed by members of all denominations. Owing to the fact that the now branch line from Brandon to the coal fields has been constructed, and that the Pembina branch is about to be extended to meet the former at Melita, the settlers will have a much nearer market than heretofore, and will soon enjoy the consequent benefits. The settlers of this district furthermore shared in the general good crop of last season, though in some places it was badly damaged by the frost. Taking all things into consideration the prospects for the future are brighter than they have been in the past. A missionary has been on the field during the winter, and no doubt the people will soon see their way clear to have an ordained missionary amongst them. Families, 87 ; members, 31 ; cost, $271.70 ; contributions, 217.61 ; cost to Society, $54.09. Appendix No. 1. XXXIX. RIVERSIDE. E. C. Gurrie, Mimunury, This field is in Southern Manitoba, and in what is known as the municipality of Turtle Mountain. It has for its northern boundary the Souris River. It is from all piirts convenient to the villages on the Pembina Railway — Boissevain, Ninga and Killarney. It is an excellent wheat-growing section, but not exclusively such ; for it is just as pi-o- ductive of other grains, as well as roots. Its prospects are the very best. Wo(kI is in some parts scarce, but coal (at about J3.50 per ton) may bo easily obtained. The home- stead land has nearly all been taken up, and they are beginning to sell the C. P. R lai.ds. The majority of the settlers are from Ontario, and are chiefly Presbyterian. The moral condition of the community is good, and their intelligence, perhaps, exceptional. There are six appointments, at which fortnightly services were conducted. At five of tliose appointments there were also Sunday schools, with average attendance of 18, 30, 35, o5. At four of the appointments a weekly prayer-meeting was held. At one of the appoint- ments there is a Liidies' Aid, with over 25 members. During the summer the Sacrament was dispensed twice, and 23 were added to the Communion roll. Previous to last summer an ordained missionary was in charge for over two years, and since the student left, hibt fall, another has been secured. The people showed themselves to be interested nnd earnest in the work. They not only secured a rig, which was placed at the disposiil of the student during the summer months, but also attended all the services very regularly. The field contributed over $248.75 towards defnvying the missionary's expenses. NORTH BEND, REVELSTOKE, ETC. Alfred Fitzpatrivk, B.A., Missionary. During the months of May and June, and the early part of .July, I worked at Revel- stoke and east to Bear Creek Station, the half of the field managed so successfully for the last two summers by J. A. Sinclair, M.A. ; while the other half was under the care of J. Millar, M.A. As Revelstoke and one or two other towns had diminished in population on account of a depression in the mining trade, it was thought better that I should go farther west *and that Mr. Miller should undertake the whole (ield fr m Bear Creek to Duck's. My work then included the small towns of Ashcroft, Spence's Bridge, Lytton, North Bend, Yale and Hope. The inhabitants of these places consist of railroad employees and officials, miners, prospectors, ranchers, tourists, etc. Many noble young men are employed here. They are all away from home and accordingly are always anxious to hear of the Kast, and to talk of the " days of auld langsyne." The miasi(mary finds his work, in this most interesting country, not in the pulpit for there are few pulpits— bu; in the rail. /ay carriages, in the caboose, and roundshop ; or again, at the rancli and miner's shack. From all classes he will receive a hearty welcome, if he be a friend rather than a "preacher," a brother rather than "a white choker." ZION CHURCH (pine STKEET). Jokn D. Boyd, B.A., Missionary, This part of the- work has from its inception progressed steadily, and, as a result, much good has been accomplished. During Mr. Boyd's illness, last spring, Mr. D. G. McPhail, B.A., carried on the work with success. In June five managers were appointed, who have rendered nmch assistance. The teacliers and students who have helped in the Sabbath services, prayer-meetings and Sabbath school, deserve our sincere thanks. The Til Appendix No. 1. average at the Sabbath services has been about 100, at the prayer-ineetings 25, and at the Sabbath schuuls 115. There are about 35 families identified with tne Church. An ordained missionary will be appointed in the course of a few weeks. We trust that he, together with his faithful band of workers, will be sustained and encouraged by the Great Head of the Church in their labours of love. Receipts for the General Home Mission of the Society, $2,457.35, ANNUAL REPORT OF THE KNOX COLLEGE STUDENTS' MISSIONARY SOCIETY, 1891-92. The following is a description of the fields taken up by the Society during the past summer : — Ontario Proi>ek. BbXTOK. P. McNabb. Tins tiold lioa to the south-west of the town of Chatham, in the county of Kent, Ont., and consists of throe preaching stations, at each of which service was held every Lord's Day. liuxton, the jirincipal station, was once the headquarter.i of the mission to the fufji- tive slaves who sought refuge in Canada. The most of these have either died or returned to the South. White settlers have taken their places, and now there are good prospects of a large cijiigregation. Raleigli Centre Vas originally a Methodist congregation, but has for the last two summers received service from liuxton, and has now become connected therewith as a regular station. Raleigh, some seven or eiglit miles to the south-east of Buxton, had been connected with it : but neglected for some time past, has been reclaimed and promises to be a good elation. • Tlie sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispen.sed by the Rev. Wm. King, of Chat- ham, in the month of .luly, at Buxton. The Rev. Alexander Manson dispensed the ordinances at the other stations duiing the month of September. KKNT BRIDOK AND WABASH. ir. n Mcintosh, B.A. This tield, wiiich was taken up this summer for the fourth time by our Society, lies in the northern part of the county of Kent. It consists of three stations— Kent Bridge, Wabash and Grove Mills — at each of which regular Sunday services were held throughout the summer. At Kent Bridge and Grove Mills week-night nu otings and Sunday schools were also held, both of which were well attended. The latter are continued by the people. There being no organization, the members partook of communion with Rev. J. Becket's congregation at Thamesvilie. The sympathy and support given to the student in his work evidenced an interest in our mission, on the part of the people, that is highly satisfactory and encouraging. Appendix No. 1, xli. COLCHESTER. J. G. Reid. This field is beautifully situated on the shore of Lake Erie, in the county of Essex, in the township of Colchester South. It is about twenty-three miles south-east of Wind- sor, and is claimed by some to be one of the best farming communities in the Dominion. There are two stations — Colchester South and McGill. At each of these stations Sabbath school and public service was held every Sabbath during the summer. A weekly prayer-meeting was held at each station, and the interest taken by a num- ber of earnest Christian workers helped the student very much. The communion of the Lord's Supper was dispensed twice during the summer by the Rev. Thomas Nattre.ss, B.A., of Amherstburg. Six united with the Church ; four by certificate, and two by profession of faith in Christ. J PKE.STON. P. /r. Anderson. Tliis village, beautifully situated in the fertile and pictui'esque county of Waterloo, is noted for its manufacturing, and also as being an attractive summer resort. It ct.n- tains the widely-known "Sulphur Springs," which arc patronized by a large number of American, as well as Canadian, tourists and invalids. Services are held in the Lutheran, Methodist, English and Roman Catholic churches, as well as those held twice a week by the student in the hall of the Royal Templars of Temperance. Sabbath school was held every Sabbath afternoon at three o'clock, and still continues. On Wednesday evening a prayer-meeting was conducted. Much interest was manifested in the services, and some devoted Christians encour- aged the missionary very much in his work. In July Rev. Mr. Porteous, of Gait, dispensed the sacraments. NEW Dl NUKE. H. S. McKitrick. This field is situated in Wilmot township, Waterloo county, and consists of two vil- lages, New Dundee and Baden, with populations of 400 and 900, respectively. The pop- ulation in this field is for the most part Pennsylvania Dutch, and Gorman. At New Dundee Presbyterian service was commenced by the Paris Presbytery in .Inly, 1889. • At Baden service was commenced only last May. A congregation has not yet been organized at the latter place, but there is good prospect of a strong one being organized there in the near future. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed at New Dundee in June by the liev. E. Cockburn, M.A., of Paris. The field is to be supplied from the College during the College .session. BLACK RIVEK. C. T. Touijh. This field is situated in the north-west corner of Ontario county. It comprises two stations, Black River and St. David's. Black River is almost 8U|)ported by the lumber ing trade. There are four mills, one being built this fall to take the place of one burnt last spring, involv.dg the seriously felt loss of $11,000. xlii. Appendix No. 1. Weekly Sabbath services, a Sabbath school, and prayer-meeting, were held in a school- house. St. David's is a farming district. As quite a number of Presbyterians, and a few of othe\' denominat ions, reside in the community, the outlook for a thriving appointment is good. This summer a beautiful frame church was erected, and was opened on the 4th of October. As most of the work and material was a gift, superintended by Mr. J. S. Gowdy, carpenter and member, a very small outlay of money was required. Two elders were elected. Weekly services, and also a prayer-meeting, were held. The thanks of the Black River people are due Mrs. John Thompson, of Longford, for the gift of $50 in support of the mission. MlSKOKA AND AlGOMA. FRANKLIN. 0. B. IVilliamsoH. This field is situated around the north of Lake of Bays, south-east of Huntsville, in in the township of Franklin, district of Muskuka. It comprises four stations, at three of which — Dwight, Portage, and Cain's Corners — a weekly Sabbath service was held. Prayer-meetings were held weekly at Dwight, and McCutcheon's, and monthly at Ox-Tongue. Sabbath school was carried on at Dwight. Rev. Dr. Clarke, of Bracebridge, dispensed sacrament in September, one member be- ing added. BUCK LAKE. ,S. Wfudey. This is a new field, lying east of (iravenhurst, and comprising four stations — Reay, DoebLjike, Buck Lake, and Lewisham. At Reay, which was formerly in connection with South Falls, and supplied by the Home Mission Society, there is a union school, but at the other appointments the services were conducted in school-housen. The Sabbatli school, organized at Doe Lake during the summer, and the union school at Lewisham, are both in a flourishing condition. The people have no principal occupation. At one time lumbering aflbyded employ- ment to a large number of persons, but forests and sawmills are things of the past. The country is rocky in the extreme, and as the amount of arable land in the ravines, and along the margins of the lakes, with which the district is thickly dotted, is not sufficient to warrant agriculture either probable or profitable, it is not difficult to foresliadow its future. The Rev. M. N. Bethuno, through whose instrumentality it was opened, visited tlio field, and administered the sacrament of baptism. LORING. G. E. Lougheed. The field is situated in a lumbering district, about fifteen miles south of French River, and about forty miles west from Trout Creek and the G.T.R. The great distance from a railroad seems to be its groat drawback. Land is good, and needs a railroad to Appendix No. 1. xliii. I a few of itment is the 4th of Mr. J. S. e held. igford, for give it communication with other parts of Ontario. A railroad is expected to be built shortly. The only market as yet is the lumber camps. The settlement is gradually increasing, thus it was necessary this year to give regular fortnightly Sabbath services in the outlying portions of the field. During the summer months there were held in the central part of the field, Loring, a Sabbath school, and services in the morning and evening. Each alternate Sabbath afternoon services were held at Wolf River settlement, and in the western end of the field. At Wolf River a Sabbath school was also commenced. Both Sabbath schools are being carried on during the winter, as well as church service in the morning at Loring, by Christian workers in the field. Every Wednesday evening a prayer-meeting was held at Loring, and on each alternate Thursday evening at Wolf River and at the west end of the settlement. All the meetings were well attended, and much interest was manifested in the work. Rev. Mr. Garrioch, of Fowassan, visited the field in September, and dis- pensed the sacraments. CHISHOLM. J. A. CvanstoH. This field is situated in Nipissing district, eight miles east of the village of Puwassan on the G.T.R. There are about sixty families in it, a large proportion of which are Presbyterian. Services were held at four places, Kell's, McDonald's, Robinson's and Booth's, a Bible class being also held at McDonald's, and Sunday schools at McDonald's and Robinson's, the latter having been started this summer. The new church at Kell's was finished and opened. Two hundred books received from Streotsville S.S. were dis- tributed in the field. The ordinances of the Church were dispensed by Rev. Mr. Garrioch, of Powassan. There were seven baptisms ; two now members were added on profession of faith. SQUAW ISLAXD ANP COLLINS' INLET. Jas. Menzieti. This new field comprises the stations Squaw Island, a fishermen's resort, nine miles from the north shore of Georgian Bay, and Collins' Inlet, a lumbering village on the mainland, twenty-one miles from Squaw Island by water. The former field was occupied during June, J uly, and August, service being held each Sabbath, morning and evening, in a shanty kindly placed at our disposal. The fishermen, whose homes are in the dif- ferent ports on the Georgian Bay, anjl who resort here only in the summer months, appreciated highly the services held, and by attendance and personal effort greatly aided the niissionary in his work. The weekly cottage prayer-meeting and Sabbath school were well attended. Neither of the ordinances was dispensed. At the desertion of the Island by the fishermen in September, the missionary removed to Collins' Inlet, having been able to hold service there only twice during the summer. Here service was held in the school-house, morning and evening, with a week-night prayer-meeting, all of which were well attended. This field has been much neglected, as, although a mill has been here for forty years, no settled missionary has ever been hero before. WARKEN. J. D. Jefferij. This field lies midway between North Bay and Sudbury, on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The extent of the field from Verner to Wahnapitae is about thirty- three miles. Warren, the principal place, a village of some 300 inhabitants, is composed xliv. Appendix No. 1. of French and English, the French being about eointments being added since separation. There are four stations — Carasdale, Pense, Melbourne and Lumsden. Services at Pense and Lumsden wore held in the waiting-rooms of the railroad stations. Service and Sunday school at Lumsden, and also Sunday school at Oarsadale, were opened in April and continued through the Hummer. Rev. Mr. Carmichael, of Regina, dispensed tiie sacraments at all stations in Septem- ber. Thirty-one United with tlie Church : twenty by profession of faith, and eleven by certificate. Two adults and sixteen children were lutpti/ed. The people of this tield are bright, intelligent and progressive settlers, and have shown by their interest in and support of the work that they are grateful to God for His many blessings. An ordained man has been asked for, and until one is secured the elders at Car-ssdale .station are carrying on the services there. No. of fields, 17 ; time, 10 four months, 7 six months.

ANNUAL REPORT OF MANITOBA COLLEGE MISSIONARY SOCIETY', 1891-92. During the past year, the Society has been in a measure fairly successful. Five fields were occupied during the summer of 1891. The expenditure for the fields and other work of the Society was met by collections in the various congregations and by private subscription. The receipts for the year amounted to §!978. 00, and the payments made to $636.00, leaving a balance to begin the work of another with of $342.00. The Society, owing to new regulations and the more considerable length of time in which the fields are to be occupied than formerly, has seen its way only to occupy two fields during the coming year. This may be changed, however, next autumn. 4 XlVlll. Appkndix No. I. MUMSKl.tll'lUill. This field fur tlio lust two years hiis been supplied by Mr. A. P.

In the ])it8t Hiiminer the miNsion lield advanced so as to liecutno 8elf-8upportii)|;, thus no longer needing the help of the Society ; the tield has been taken over by the Prewbytery of Rock Luke. WKST KM) MISHION, WINNll'Kd. This mission, situated in the West End of the City, was held for the Society during the last summer by Mr. J. N. McLean, B.A. The students also supplied this station during the winter months on Sabbath evenings and Thursday evenings. LANSDOWNE. This field has been supplied by the Missionary Society for the past three years. Mr. W. ]i. Gumming, B.A., cared for it last summer. This tield still requires careful attention from our Society. C. McDiarmid, H.A., is appointed for the present year. (;OLLISTON. This field, situated in tlie neighbourhood of Prince .\lbert, was occupied during the last summer by Mr. Geo. Gunn. The work of the summer has been blessed to the remo\ nl of some of the difticulties which were found in this field as in all Western fields. The fol tion to the i InM " T( " Bt " Ot " H.

Mr. Hugli Cowan has been appointed to Fort Frances for the present year. MISSION TO THE LUMBERMEN, 18!)l-»2.

The Executive in October last adopted the following resolution, and undei' it appointed Mr. Alexander ^^cOrogor to Buffalo Lake in the Presbytery of Rcgina : That Students who have completed their second year in ThtoKigy and who accept appointments for a period of at least one year under the regulation of last General Assembly respecting an extra-mural .session, shall receive, until they have lyasaed their examination in the extra-mural session, the salary given to unordained men labouring con- tinuously for one year in a Held. . At the meeting in March last, it was moved that the action of the Executive be sus- tained. In amendment it was moved by Dr. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Farcjuharson, That the claim of $0 per Sabbath for Buffalo Lake for the past half-year be granted, so as to make the .salary of the missionary that of an ordained missionary. A vote being taken, 4 voted for the amendment and 21 for the motiui-., which was declared carried. Dr. Robertson dissented from the finding of the Coinuii'tee and inti- mated his intention to appeal to the (Jeneral Assembly. PROPOSED SVNOn IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. At the last meeting of Committee, Mr. P. McF. McLcod, in name of the Presbytery of Columbia, intimated that it was in contemplation to divide the present Presbytery into three, and to form a Synod for the Province. The Committee expressed its gintitlcation at the statement of Mr. McLeod, indicating as it did the rapid expansion of the work in British Columbia, and their approval generally of the proposal to sub-divide tlio Presby- tery and form a Synod. PRKSBYTERY OF AUiOMA. The matter of the erection of a new Presbytery, to be composed of congregations and stations at present connected with the Presbyteries of Bruce and Barrie, was also con- sidered. Representatives from the Presbyteries of Bruce, Barrie, Owen Sound, and Maitland were heard, favourable to the erection of the new Presbytery. The Committee expressed its general concurrence in the proposal. BEQUEST OF THE LATE MR. W. (REAM. At the meeting of the Executive in October last the Convener reportwl that he had received a copy of a protest served upon the executors of the estate of the late Mr. W. Cream, of Quebec, by the heirs, to the elTect that as there was a commiuiity of property between Mr. Cream and his wife, he had no power to will that portion of his estate lieciueathed to the Home, French and Foreign Mission Funds of the Church, ami restrain- ing the executors from paying said bufjuests. The matter was referred to Drs, Cochrane and Warden, with instructions to take legal advice and sueii action as may be necessary, after consultation with the other Mission Boards. The Connnittee have now to report that a compromise has been effected between the Home, French and F(U'eign Mission Committees and the heirs of the estate, whereby each of the three Committees was Ut receive 81, BOO in full of then' claim on the estate. and Messrs.

I'RESBYTEKY OF l^UEBKC. The state of our iuigiiiuntcd coiigrugations continue.s aliout the same as last reported, It is very hard to malie any reductions in the grants on account of so many of our families constantly leaving the district ; in fact, notwithstanding tliese los!ecially in the city, (.'ontributions totli'; Fund are quite a.s liberal as in the past, and we are hopeful for the future of this Fund. There are those who love our Zion too well to let this iinportant work fall to the trround. I'RESBYTKltV OF BAKKIK. The six congregations which were on the list last year still remain.

The augmented congregations in the Synod of Manit(,ba and the North-West Ter- ritories made a more decided advance last year than any year since the Synod was organ- ized. In April of 1891 there were 24 congregations on the Augmented List, and during the year 13 more were added. Nino congregations, iiowever, became self-sustaining, Ix. Appendix N(t. 1, relieving tho Fiiiul of ^1,6*25 of an annual chari-e, and thus the year 18!>2-3 begins wiili 28 congregations on the list, all bein,' in a liualthv state, and, with two exceptions, having made gratifying progroHH during tht your. Of tho congregations thatbecanio soIf-sUKtain- ing, two beh)nged to tho I'reabytory of Winnipeg, three to Rock Lake and tour U> Brandon. Of tho congregations atili on the list, five belong to Winnipeg, one to llock Lake, eiyht to Brandon, four to Minnedosa, live to llegina, two to Calgary and three ti, Columbia.

Hat congregation is not likely to grow much until the coal in the neighbourhood is mined, and the farming and gru/.ing lands in the vicinity are occupied. In both con- gregations faithful work is being done, and the financial rocord is improving. Edmonton increased its contribution to salary $'300, reducing itii claim on tho Augmentation Fund 9100. These congregations have i) stations, 2 chtirche.s, and 1 man.su, 72 families, 'M per- sons not belonging to thcHO families, and 106 communicants. The salary promised, in- cluding manse, is $1,550, or at the rate of $14.(>2 per communicant. Tho average grant from the Augmentaticm Fund per congregation is $325. I'UKSIIVTKRY OK OOLU.MUIA. This Presbytery had only Kamloops on its list last year ; and Mt. Pleanant and Chilliwhack were added this spring. Tho Kamloupa congregation, owing to a depression prevailing in the place, has not grown any during the year. Its organization, however, in better, and its contributions for Church SchemoH are a .sign of healthiness. Should Ghilliwhark get a sui ible pastor, as is likely, it will soon be self-sustaining. Mt. Pleananf is a suburb of Vancouver, and a missionary was put in charge last December. About <)0 families were gathered and organized. A site for a church was purchased, and a building is now erected, although not fini.shed. As that part of the city is growing, and the pastor iictivo and popular, it is likely that the congregation will soon be oil' tho list. Connected with these 3 congregations are 4 stations, 3 churches, 1 manse, 130 families, 75 single persons not connected with these families, and 100 communicants. Tho amount pro- mised for stii)end, including ^100 for manse, is ^2,500 or §15.06 per communicant, and the average aid promised from the Augmentation Fund §266.66 per congregation.

There liave been nn the List during the past year eleven distinct charges, embracing about thirty separate congregations. Of these charges, three were put on the List during the year and fuur have become self-sustaining. Olenhuro' no longer requires aid from this Fund ; but, with its 60 families and 110 communicants, is both able and willing to help itself. Wawiiiirmt has been less tiian six months on the Augmented List. It passed from the rank of a mission station to that of an au,'mentod charge when the present pastor wai settled in November last, and on the first of April it was loft to its own resources with tliu full consont of both pastor and people. Sdiirin has been self-tsiipporting since September last. (»wing to some recent changes ill tho field, it has probably been financially weakened, and, as a j)recautionary measure, a small grant has been asked for the present year. Tho charge is at present without a pustor, and it is bulievud that should a happy settlement bo ott'ected soon, even this small grant will not bo rt'i|uirod. Oak Lake has not only become self-sustaining, but at the same time has consented that Griawold, one of its strongest stations, should bo cut off; which, when added to one of our aid-receiving mission liekls, has had tho etl'oct of making that field self-sustaining nljo. Chater has had its grant reduced, and has also lost one station — Rugby, which has gone to strengthen another field. There are only 34 families in the charge ; and when we remember that they are giving at tho rate of §18 ])er family for stipend alone, we can readily acknowledge their claims on this Fund. A still further reduction in the grant is made for the current year. liounthn'ititc is devclopint; rnjiidly under good pastoral care. The supplement is now reduced to §1.50, and will probably be dispensed with within a year. There are 38 famil- ies in this charge, which contribute an average of $21 per family for the support of the minister. lliillaial was transferred to the List in July last, with a grant of 8250 per annum. The grant has already been reduced, and with one good year may be altogether cut ofi' The field is not, however, very strong numerically, having only 29 families and 43 com- municants. Petrel has suli'ered more from failure of crops for the last two or three years than perhaps any other charge in this Presbytery. Only for this the grant would by this time have entirely disappeared. As things are, tho Presbytery has asked the small grant of SlOO for the present year, hoping that further aid may not be required. Trehcnie is making rapid jiroi^ress, and will, we feel assured, look for no outside aid beyond the present year. AfcGre;/or is now getting only $100 a year from the Augmentation Fund ; and seeing it lias within its bounds at least fifty good, substantial families, the Presbytery expects the field to take care of itself after tho present year, unless there is some division of terri- tory that may posti'one for a year or two that desirable result. Ilartney, formerly known as "Whitewater Mission Field," was settled early in the present year and put on the Augmented List with a grant of $200 a year; j,ThiB, like the 5 Ixiv. Appendix No. 1. preceding charge, will, in all probability, either bo ttelf-suBtaining or divided into two fields before another year. It will thus bo seen that in no pant year has this claHH of charges made such progress as in the one just cloHed, and the Presbytery has every reason to hope that ovory charge at present on the List will be self-sustaining in two years. PREHBYTBKY OF REdlNA. Prince Albert. — Settled since last report. Now church erected and congregation l)rospering ; expected next ye.-vr to be self-sustaining. Monsejuw. — Grant lowered.

Indian Head. — Settled again in July last, when it was detached from surrounding stations and formod into one charge, where regularity of attention has told in favour of tlie progress of the work. Church building seated and improved. PKB8BYTERY OF CALOARY. Edmonton lowers this year its demand upon the Fund and is expected before long to be self-sustaining. A manse is likely to be erected there this ensuing summer. Two congregations — Medicine Hat and Edmonton are on the Fund. During the year, no great progress has been made in either case. The growth of population has not been great. Both are struggling with, and out of, debt, and both with hopeful outlook for next year. Appendix No. 1. Ixv. FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

Appendix No. 1. ,m REPORT OF SUB-COMMITTEE ON AUGMENTATION. The foregoing reports from Presbyteries show how the Augmentation Fund is re- garded in all parts of the territory under the supervision of the Committee. From Quebec comes the statement that " but for the Augmentation or some such Fund, whole localities in this region would certainly be without the Gospel." Dr. Robertson lestities that in the West the Fund '' hblps many a congregation to support a pastor, that without its help could not secure a pastor at all." Similar testimony has been borne year after year by those who have had charge of this portion of the Church's work all along the line from Quebec to Victoria. At the same time the fact remains that, but for the share of Mrs. Nicholls' legacy, wlilch was devoted to Augmentation (viz., $8,000), the income would have fallen hope- lessly short of the expenditure, and a large deduction from the grants would have been inevitable. At the date of the meeting of the Home Mission Committee, in March, it was estimated that, even should the whole amount of the legacy be expended, there would still be a deticit of $1,500, and members of Committee undertook to raise in their respective Presbyteries special amounts (ranging from $25 to 3500; in order to make up the deficiency. The re.si)onse to the appeal which was made by members of Committee in fulfilment of their undertakirig has been most gratifying. It is impossible to state with exactness what was given on account of this special appeal, becau.se in a few instances the (jrdinary contributions of congregations to the Fund were included in the amounts sent ; but it is within the mark to say that instead of $1,500 upwards of $3,000 was realized over and above the ordinary contributions. The Presbyteries of Montreal and Barrie deserve special mention, the former having sent $1,112 and the latter 8123, on account of the deficit. In several other instances the amounts sent greatly exceeded the sums which members of Committee had undertaken t(j raise. The result is that, after grants have been paid in full, there remains $2,500 of the legacy still unused, and the outlook for the coming year is hopeful. An overture from the Home Mission Committee, asking that Synods take oversight of the work of Augmentation, has been most heartily approved by the Synods of Hamil- ton and London, Toronto and Kingston, and Montreal and Ottawa. Should the General Assembly endorse the proposed course of action, it is reasonable to expect that such over- sight on the part of Synods will increase the interest of congregations in the scheme, and will tend to promote the eijuitable and economical administration of the Fund. The foUowin;/ table shows what progress has been made since the scheme was in- augurated in 1883; — PKKSliYTEUIES. I I .= « a a. > cc Wis . •2|.S ^ t, ^ sJS a C rt.JS '■3 S t.'

That as many as 55 congregations have been removed from the list, though not • self-supporting (many of tliem having boon transfeired to the list of Mission Stations), is an indication of the care and discrimination which have been exercised by Presbyteries and by the Committee, and ia an answer to the charge which has been sometimes mado that the Fund is used to keep unsuitable men in congregations which would become self- sustaining under a change of ministry. It is not to be expected that the claims on the Fund will bo lessened during the next few years. The number of congregations now on the list is 147, as compare 1 with 145 in April, 1891. There were 23 congregations removed from the list during the year, and 2r> added to it. The amount of grants paid during the year, ending Slst March, 1892, was §27,028.72, as compared with §24,831.. 30 paid during the precedin'j year. Wc ought to welcome this increase, for it means the consolidation of our mission work — it means the promoting of many mission stations, especially in the North- West, to the rank of settled pastoral charges receiving temporary aid from this Fund, It is hard, however, to welcome the expansion of our work in the face of an insufHcient revenue and repeated deficits requiring special eff\)rt3 to meet them. The whole amount re<[uired annually is about 830,000, in order to give grants averaging 8200 to, say, 150 congregations. One would think that it ought not to reiiuiro much pleading or a great deal of machinery to secure a fair proportion of this modest Ixviii. Appendix No. 1. sura from each Presbytery in the Western Section of the Church. May not the Committee accept the recent response to the appeal made in order to secure the payment of grants in full as an indication that the Church, as a whole, does not think the minimum stipend too high, and that it will deal more generously than in some past years with the weaker charges ? All which is respectively submitted. D. J. MACDONNELL, Convener of Suh-Committee. MISCELLANEOUS. BEQUEST OF THE LATE MRS. XlfHOLLS. The Committee at its meeting in March, agreed to use for Auijmentatif)n purposes §8,000 of tho bequest left by the late Mrs. Nicholls, of Peterborough. It liaving been found that there would (even with this amount added to the Fund) be a probable deficit of $1,500 at the close of the financial year, it was resolved that the sum of 830 be deducted from the grant due for the past half-year to each settled augmeii^eu charge in Ontario and Quebec, and the sum of 840 from the grant due to each settled augmented charge in the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West. At a later stage, this resolution was rescinded, and the members of the Committee agreed to raise in their respective Presbyteries special amounts to make up the deficiency. The amounts thus promised being sufficient to remove tlie estimated deficit, it was agreed , to withhold payment of the grants for the past six months (October to Marcii) till end of April, in the hope tliat the state of the Fund would then admit of them being paid in full. The Committee are g' d to say that this was done, and a balance left at the credit of the Fund after all the claims were paid. MODIFICATION OF HEOILATIOSS. It was agreed to recommend the General Assembly to autliorize the Committee, in 'October, to reduce, if necesc "y, the grant for the half-year then ending, on tho following scale : In C(mgregations in Quebec and Ontario, $25 ; and in congregaticms in the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West and exceptional congj Rations in towns and cities, 830 ; with similar reductions in March also, if necessary. It was further agreed to recommend the Cieneral Assembly to amend the regulations tinder which the Augmentation scheme is administered, as follows : That to entitle con- gregations to receive aid tliere be re(iuired an avera'^e contribution of .88 per family, as well as .84.50 per communicant, end a total contribution of 8450 and a manse, instead of $400 and a manse as heretofore, the latter to refer to congregations heteaftev t(3 be placed on the list of aid-receiving charges ; that the regulation restricting tiie grant f;()m the Fund to 8300 per annum be amended so as to read .$250 per annum ; and that hereafter tho salary of pastors of augmented congregations in Manitoba and the North-West be88?0 per annum, together with a manse, and 8050 per annum where there is no manse.

Carlttpable of preacliing in (Jielic, and it must be confessed that failure not infrequently followed the most earnest efforts. In many places in Cap( Breton and in some portions of P. E. Islar d tlie ' Jtelic language is indispensable to a successful jtorate ; and the number of men who ciU use with ease l)otli it and Englisli is exceedingly i. .lited, — but the Church must struggle on and appeal to the young men of these places, to whom both tongues are familiar, to come forward speedily and meet tiie want. Pkesbyteky of PiCTOtT. — Five catechists and two ordained missionaries supplied the mission fields of this cradle and centre of Presbyterian ism in the Maritime Provinces. Mr. Miller, of Cariboo, and Mr. Smith, of Eureka, say nothing beyond the figures in their statistics. Both, however, had importaVit fields and both supplied them well. The latter is a rapidly growing place, tlie site of extensive iron works, and this year has an ordained missionary. There is little doubt that it will soon become a thrifty self-supporting congregation. ' Concerning Gountry Harbour and Isaac's Harbour Mr. Donald Fraser says : — " You will observe in this report that there is no charge for board. Mr. Smith, in Country Harbour, and Mr. McLellan. in Isaac's Harbour, make this with their other contributions towards the mission. They deserve special mention and credit for their sacrifices on behalf of the work. This year I held extra sevvices occasionally in Lower Country Harbour and was very much encouraged in thai neglected part of the field. .Services were always well attended there and the people seem deiirous to get part of the services of the catechist, Hitherto only Upper Country Harbour and Isaac's Harbour were regularly attended to. Services being given to Lower Country Harbour only now and then at the option of the catechist. I would advise tins part of the field especially being attended to." Mr. M(:(>lashen writes about Mub/rave as follows :— "The situation of the field augurs it« importance. It is growing, happily, in Presbyterian direction. Of the Protestant population the large majority is Prcsliyterian. I think there is an imperative necessity that we put a nipn in the field during the wint*"!' season. Our cause is now in a fairly flourishing condition and if we immediatly occupy tlie ground y fresh adtiitions to the members ip of the church, there have been other signs of a liopeful nature. A deeper interest seems to prevail, as shown in a very vigorously conducted and nourishing Sabbath School, which has been carried on at Greenville, and will be maintained (luring the winter months as well as in the summer. At Weatchexter Mountain too, where services ate lield but seldom during the winter, arrangements have been effected for the n\ain- leiuiuce of a union prayer-meeting to be held all the year around. Services were held on alternate Sabbaths at (Jreenville Station and at Creenville Crossing; this arrangement has been ;l!'ccti<'e in reaching more people than could have been reached had the services been confined to one place. It would be ad -i sable to continue this arrangement in the future. Mr. Fr;.nk Jobb says of North River : — " The field is a hard one to work because it is broken uj) among ditferent denominations. Some scheme of systematic giving should be introduced, and Upper yorth River and tSoHth Branch sliould have one place of worship. 1 liiink our cause is growing in this field, with occasional supply during the winter, work will be easier during the coming year." The l'real)ytcry has hud two vacancies on its hatids a good part of the year and has received supply for theii! almost entirely from the Committee's roll. It is hoped that both congrega- tions, Steiriacke and Loniloniterry, will soon obtain suitable pastors. The^ present fine fields for the work of energetic nien. Pkkshvtkrv (IF H.MKAX. — In this large Presbytery there were'welve catechists and two ordained missionaries at work. Two of the fields supplied by ca:t, nists, namely, JUwiquodo- lioit Harlior, and Laivrenretown and Cow Bay, are congregatious for whom ordainetl men eould not be secured. i..awrencetowii is now settled, and Musquodoboit Harbor is calling the Kev. James Kosborough foi several years its pastor in days gone by. Carleton and Ghehoijiu: were once a pastoral charge, but for years has been too weak on account of emigration, from Carleton particularly, to come up to the Augmentation mininmm. Mr. Thos. Miller has spent the year with tlieni, and there are bigns of improvement in the financial strength of th6 congre- gation, particularly in the Chelwgue section. Dighy and Bay View are not increasing in strength, but there are some most loyal Presby- terians in the place who ere unwilling to be abandoned by the Church. The Presbytery, therefore, has asked the Committee to continue its support to this field. Middieton, another scattered station in the western portion of Nova Scotia, j)resents no bright hope of growth, hut the people are anxious to have services and they cannot be forsaken. HI. Croix and ElUrxhouHe are more iiopeful stations. Mr. Davis, the catechist reports : — " Tho field is eucouraging, and a pastor or ordaitted missionary is needed. Prayer- meetings were held every fortnight at EUershouse and Sweet's Corner, and at br.th places Christian Endeavor Societies were organized which intend meeting during the w'ater. The (■hurch has been repaired at St. Croix, and six were added to the communion r jU. It i'< to he hoped that a settled pastor can be obtained ere long. C. E. prayer-meetings at St. Croix, weekly, are well attended and interesting." Mt Uniacke and Beaver Bank are poor and difficult to work on account of the distance liutween the stations. They did welt, however, last summer under the energetic labours of Mr. J. B. Astwood. Salem, <{ec., are contiguous portions of Shubenacadie and Maitland congregations. Mr. A.M. Thompson efficiently assisted the pastors of those charges in these stations. They may some-time giow into a separate congregation. The North Went Arm is in the suburbs of IV Appendix No. 2. , \ Halifax, and is making slow but gradual progress. Oohiirg Road is a station opened up in tlie south-wcatern portion of the city, which is growing rapidly. Two of the catecnists, Mr. 8. A. Fraser and Dr. Hare, spent tlie summer in Labrador. They were supported by the Students' Missionary Association, which faitlifully cares for the scattered and needy people on that shore. Mr. Fraser by permission of last Assembly, was ordained to dispense ordinances in this field, and he says : — I organized a mission station at Harrington with twenty-Hve communi(^ants. Received six others into communion with the church, live of whom reside at St. Pauls River, and one at St. Augustine. The services of an ordained man are necessary to the jM-osperity of the work, especially since organization. Tlie prospects are ^'ood. Mr. Ross has laboured there during the winter as teacher and evangelist, and witli much eiicourageinent. For the coining year Mr. F. VV. Thompson has gone thither to labor as an ordained missionary. Wm. McCulloch Thompson and A. F. Logan labored as ordained missionaries at Kimpt and Walton, and at Bedford respectively. Both met 'with marked success. Kem/f and Walton are now in a ponition to call a man as soon as one can be obtained. iSuckfiUi' and Warerlvy in the Bedford field, have both erected new churches and are nearly ciear of debt. Tills is now a well organized congregation, and may soon be expected to stand alone witii a settled pastor. There have been many vacancies in this Presbytery, which the committee assisted 'argcly in supplying, not only with preaching, but also in several cases with pastors now liappily settled. Presuvterv of LrNENBi'RO AND SuELBfRNE.— This Presbytery had two catecliists and one ordained missionary employed. Jiircrtdale, Mr. J. H. Kirk's field contains five stations, and involves much hard work, wiiich he performed with such satisfaction to the people and tlie Presbytery, that both have earnestly sought his return, and he has beeii sent to them for another summer. Mr. Alex. Laird succeeded Mr. Vans in the charge of the Briili'ewatcr -lut-sections. His work was very satisfactory. He says in his report : — (I) Communicants, 84 in number, have hitherto been included in the returns for Bridgewater, but Presbytery is now separating the e stations from the town, so we make a distinct return ; (2) Families returned o4. There are, however, 60 families in which there are Presbyterian ineinl>er8, 40 being altogether Presby- terian ; (.3) Tliere were no prayer- meetings in existence when I came to tlie field, and no Sunday Schools, but one union one (Xewcomville), and as my stay was short I did not organize any ; (4) The population is large and increasing (according to census returns). The field i.s not over-crow(le(l with otiier denominations, as many of our stations are. Mr. Crawford continued his work as ordained missionary at Xtw Dnhliu, and reported encouraging progress. He says : Not having to supply Moleg.i Mines, as last year, I have fiven constant service to New Dublin and Pleasantville. Tiie attendance especiiiUy at West )ublin lias been gradually increasing. We !iave iiad an increase of two families. One of ♦best, in which are two communicants, came from I.aHave congregation. Another communi- cant came to us from Conquerall Bank. Our prayer-meetings and Sabbath -sciiools liave been going on as last year, witli a little more than the usual interest in connection with Cliiistian Endeavor work recently staited in one of our meetings. During the year the congregation have erected i.'. new church, 45 feet long by 30 feet in breadth, so far at an expense of !J77"). The outside is completed in a neat ivnd exdellent manner, and it is comf rtable for service, though the insiiritual life of the congiegation is low, and the church members are not on the whole as fuby impressed with their responsibility as those of many other congregation:;. They are, however, legular in their attendance upon oi'di;.,inces. They are able to contribu'^e nnich more largely than they do to the support of ordinances and the schemes of the cburcii. K,l adherents (and none are more devoted to the cliurch of their fathers), when I .suggest that no supply be sent them ne.xt summer. In closing I must record my deep appreciation of the unfailing kindness and courtchy of our Methodist brethren, at every ])oint W'-eie I came in contact with them. Mr. ,1. H. Hattie testilii^s thus of Caiiijiliill SiIIIiiikiiI ; Although large in area and strong in mindiers. it has always been very weak financially. However, fired with the enthu.siasm of my l)redecessors they have made .some advancement. A few names have been addeil to the church roll during the year, and a deeper interest in the work of the Master is becoming manifest. Mr. (Jeorge C. Pidgeon speaks of ]V(il( r/iinl, his field, in the following terms:— The nundier of new communicants added to the roll was ti ; that of baptisius 4. The field is widely scatteied, and there are gieat possibilities if anyone were stationed there, lint as it nas been all through tlie history of the field, so it is now, the field camtot grow when there is Presby- teiiaii service there scarcely half the year, while the other deiu)miiuitions have constant supply. The j)eople are zealous, kirul, and liberal, anxious to extend the cause, anil greatly desirous of having a minister settled among them. Do) c.htxtcr had Mr. .1. H. Kraser, who says : Of late years a number of people have left Dorchester, and this has p;aterially weakened our interests there. The people are few but very spiiited in their efforts. Mr. I). C. Mackintosh who labonrerie''son did excellent work in stirring up the people to a new effort to have a settled p St or, as well as in many other ways. The ordained missionaries in tiiis I'reabytery were : Jainen Burgess, Andorcr ; A. J. L Is, Grand Fnltn ; A. F. Johneon, Kvtcardint ; M. G. Allison, St. Martin'^; and James Steven, VI Appendix No 2. Salijia ; nil of whom Imvc given iimch siitisfaction to tho Presbytery. Our cause uniler them, in the face of emigration ami other drawbacks, has hold its own in all ctaea, and in some hax made considerable progress. Could such men in autlicient nund)ers be obtained, and money enough to support liiem be provided by the Churcii, our cause would soon show a rapid developHineiit in the mission (ielda of all our Presbyteries. This Presbytery received regular sup))ly for its vacant ciiarges from the Committee, and has thus given the men available for settlement, every opportunity in its powcf of obtaining a permanent congregation. Pkksiivtkry ok Mikamk'III : — Eight caLCchists aiul two ordained missionaries were emjjloyed by tliix Presbytery. Mr. .lames F. i'olley who labored at IJartlirirke reports : — The Presbyterians of Hardwicke have tills sunnner done all in their power towards su))i)orting the ini.ssion. .'^ome families have moved away since lust summer, also some individuals whii were good supporters last year. The Cliristian spirit is still maiiifesle.l in many, ami my prayer. is, that the Holy Spirit may still work on the hearts of many of my hearers in this place, and lead them in the wiy everlasting Concerning Ildii'iloint .Mr. I{. Laird says : — The many draw-backs eonsei|uent on the natuie of the fields, are yel fai- from being entirely over(;oiiie, but have been to some extent diminished. Much interest was inanifesteil in the work by all directly connected, the s(^rvices specially being well attemled. .V Ix'gitining was made at the Jiroposed Ui'W church at //((//( NivV/r, and there are hopes of its being completed by the close of another season. The Sabbath-school work has iiicreiiseil much during the past seisoii, both in attendance and earnestness of workers, (ienerally spi aking, many of the people are waki'uing U)) to their religious interest and duties, and would like to have an ordaine(l pastiu', only they ftel them selves incapable of providing th» necessary supjiort. A few more summers of active earnest work ought t I render this praiticable. Iwrtlie jiresent some effort should be made to give at least occasional siipj) y during autumn and llisl part of winter. Mr. K. A. Kiulayson rejiorts of Xrir /luii'l(i)i : -This is a \ery good tield. They have 'wo nice churches Praycr-meelini's and .Sivbliatli-scliool are held all the year round. I think the oidy faidt to be found is. that they do not pay as much as they might fi>r the support ot ordinances. At ('(iratiiiil tilt! Hev. V. L. Kraser laboreil for a eatcchist's pay in a most accej)lablc manner. The people completed a church which was dedicated to the service of (iod free from debt. .Mr. L \\' Parker occupied lioxiilnidinit uml Xilioii with nnwh jicceptance. The tiiM when thus su))|)lied is self-su])p(uting, but it shoulil be in the charge of an ordaine(l man Mr. .lohn I). SicKay was put in cluiigc of a new and poor but needy tield called Prnti'rlinn-'ilh . His work was (piite successfid. A .Sabbat hschool and jiraycr meeting that have cititM and gave great satisfaction to the j)eople. This station is now united to the congregation of New Carlisle and Ho]ietown of v Inch it was formerly a station. .Mr. .John Turnbtdl labored as ordaineii missionary at F/(ill(ni(/-^ and A/i lapKlid for the summer, and during the winter itinerateil among the vacant stations of the Presbytery. Mr. W. J. Fowler occupied /i«v;wn('(c as ordained missionary. He rej)orts as follows ; " We have in all ti .Sabbath .Schools with 17 oliicersand lo? scholars enrolled, 'i'he .Sacramcni of the Lord's Supper was dispensed twice during the year and nineteen were added to the communion roll on profession of faith. The field is in a very good state of organization, b\it I think is scarcely strong enough to rise from its jire.sent condition of having an ordained missionary, to i settled charge. J'here is a small settlement of twtuity families or more some twelve or fourteen miles from the church at I'ointe h la (Jarde, known as Ke- pi Road, and at present connected with the Cainpbellton cf)ngregation. I think, if the '.'.csbytery deemed it best, that that station could be effectively worked with this tield and bring it up to the status of an augmented charge." This Presbytery received, a.s it asked, regular supply for its vacancies, which are now hajtjiily settled. Mr. Kinnear, late of lUictcuichc, in the .St. .lohn Presbytery, taking N'n liifhmoiKl ; Mr. J. (ireenlees, Nut: .\tilh, and Mr. .1. .M. Sulhcrlau'l, AV/r Catiinh. PuEsliYTKHY OF P. K.

How to solve this (juestion is one of the most difficult as it is one of the most important for our Church to consider. TIIK I.f.MHKltMKN S MISSION. Tn the Presbytery of St. Jolin Mr. Watson has laboured during the winter among the enmps of the lIpjM'r St. .John. He finds u welconu; in almost every camp and has good oppor- tunities for presenting the trutli to miiny who have scarcely ever attended the public worship of (l87.7S on the previous year. Our expandiliire was $1 1 ,(iHi .'C. We began the year with a debt of .'J'201..'U. We close it with iJ^ltSt).*! in fund. This favorable result is owing to receipts from unusual sources such as the bei|uetts ami gifts shown above. The Ctunmittee tinds that our congregaticns gave last year tor woik in the Fast !?7,iM(t."2r), as compared with $7,!*')I TjS the preceding year ; and that our expenditure for the Fast was89,.'J4.S.7!t, as compared with i8S,.')05 of previous year. That is, whilst our outlay on account of increased service rendered our fields was over iSlOOO.OO iMoie than the preceding year, (uir income from the congregr.lions was a few dollars less. Hesides this, we fell short last year $1000 in our contril)Utions to the North-\\'est as compared with the pievious year. We ask our peop!e to consider this matter carefully. Do they mean that our work must not advance? We cannot believe that. But if our work is to glow and (uir expenditure to increase, our jieoplc must contribute more liberally. The only certain source of revenue we have is the contributions of the people. Bequests seldom come. The Free Church may at any time withdraw her grant. The proceeds from investments are only two or three hundred dollars per year. To our people, therefore, we must look for the increase necessary to carry on our work with efficiency ; and next year we should get vH\ Al'I'ENDlX No 2. inateail of !j8,000, JIO.OOO for the work in this eastern porlioi: of the Cliurch. -The increase of lii>erality in tliu past has licen steady ami we do trust tliat it i'a» not yet readied it higiiest possible development, but thai anotiier year will witness an inureuse adequate to the demands on tiie fund. We are persuaded tiiat, if this matter is put fairly t'cfore the ])e<>ple and arrangements made for systematic and rej^ular contributions, v.e ►hall enjoy a surplus and not suffer from a deficit next year, Will all our pastors anti missionary ayciiits conscien tiously \indertake this work ?

There are fourteen congregations, us against eleven last yeai', that have not sent a conti'ibulion to tlu' fund ; but seven of tliese are vacant ; so that tlic neglect cannot be construed as showing any decay of interest in the operations of the scheme. There has been an inerease in the matter of local support in six of the )«'esbytcries, to the amount of I'.'iDO ; beside* tiie gain in tlm case of New ('arlislc in the I'resbytery of Sliramichi, that has bectuue sclf-sustainnig, lelicving the fund to the extent of ^•200 per annum. Fle\ en congregations once on the Fund, have now become self-supporting. In uecordance with the permission granted by the last Assembly, the Committee, in Oetnber, dealt with the cases deferred at the Spring meeting, and made grants as follows : Cajie Nortli . . .

TIk' Committee lias promised if708!» to forty-three f>f them, that with two exceptions have complied with the conditions of the scheme. Tiiese exceptions are Chipman in the Presbytery of St. John, and Lower Stewiacke in tiie Presbytery of Halifax. The (Committee considered that in these cases there were reascms sulHcicnt to ask the Assenddy to make them special cases, and grant permission to give tliem S'20<) and $150 respectively, which is hereby done. Tiie Com- mittee also respectfully re(|uest8 that, as in former years, permission be granted theConunittce to deal at the Autunni meeting with the seven deferred applications, as well as with any new ones that in the meantime may arise. For these cases ?i.'lO() may be needed ; which, in addition to the grants already made and necessary exjienses, will aggregate about .SOOOO thai will be re(|uired next year. The Committee conHdently believes, judging from past experience, that the friend.s of the cause will cheerfully supjdy this amount. Respectfully submitted, K. SMITH, Convener. P. M.

On tlie following day the examination for the Morrismi Prize in Hebrew was held. The prize was given to VI r. Donahl M. Campbell, a student of the Second Year. The whole number of students enrolled was 28 ; of whom twelve, were in the, /('*>' year, wir« in the secoml, and nine in the Ihinl. The number of teaching days during iasi session has, as shown by the Professors' Reports, been unusually large. Upon the wliole, there has been less interruptions from ]>i'caciiing engagements than formerly. I'his has bi-cii of advantage to the students both for the preservation of their health and the prosecution cil their studies. In the management of the Library considerable improvement has been effected. .Mr. W. C. .Morrison, one of the students, who has been appointed Librarian, has taken in laji pains in making a complete list of hundreds of volumes which have been atltled to the Library since the last cat ilogue was formed. An improved system in the issuing and returniii},' of books has been followed with advantage. During the past year valuable contributions have been received in books from Dr. Burns, Mrs. Peter Ross, the Rev. E. A. McCurdy, and the Rev. J. K. Hewison, Kotiiesay, Scotland. In connection with the departure from this province of Dr. Burns, the Chairman of the Board, which will be felt in every part of our Church work, we cannot omit to record in a particular manner our obligations to Dr. Burns for his numerous and valuable gifts to tiie Appendix No. 4. iii Library. To him we owe the poBsession of many standard works such as the Encyclopredia Britannica, the Encyclopa;dia ol McClintockand Strong, the Series of Appleton'siSuppleinents, and many volumes too numerous to mention. All these volumes will remain as a monumeut of Dr. Burn's thoughtfulness and liheralitv as well as his never failing interest in the College. During four weeks a large class in hlocution was conducted by the Rev. J. Carruthers of Charlottetown. The Board had authorised the Senate to propose to Mr. Carruthers that he should teach a daily class in Elocution for a month or hve weeks during the winter. Accordingly, Mr. Carruthers, at con.siderable inconvenience to himself, came during the month of February and gave a course of lessons to the students It is admitted by all that this arrangement has proved to be a great success. The results were highly satisfactory to tlie students as well as to those who had an opportunity of witnessing the closing exercises of the class. It has been determined that Elocution shall from this time '3a necessary part of the Course, Mr. Carruthers, while himself an accomplished elocutionist, has proved to be qualified to teach the subject and train pupils in a most effective manner. During the past seventeen years the College has made some substantial progress, though not doing all for the (/hurch that we wish. In that time we have acquired and enlarged a commodious building. The endowment fund has been greatly increased. The iinimal collections by congregations have been doubled. Formerly about one-third of the congregations made collections for the College ; now nearly all make the annual collection. Tiien the contributions to the Bursary Fund were $76.00 ; now they average ?400.00 pel" annum. Then the Bursary Fund had an endowment of $1*200.00 ; now it has an endowment of §10,600.00. Then there was an average attendance of thirteen students ; now there is an attendance of twenty-eight. Still with forty vacant congregations, not to speak of mission fields at home and abroad, the College is very far from doing all the work that is required for the Synod of the Maritime Provinces. It is the duty of Presbyteries to look out suitable men and have them sent to College with a view to the ministry. This is an essential part of presbyterial 13»667 38 III.-EXKGETICAL CHAIR, Ac, FUND.

'I'ho Governors of Murrin ColleKe be^ leave to nreiient their reixirt for the paHt yenr. anil in (Iding HO are glad to be able to Hay that, notwithstandlnK the Hevere ami heavy triaU through which the institution has pasaed in the death of three of its professorial staff, they are constrained ti' express th'iir gratitude to God for the measure of prosperity voiichsafud. The members of Assembly will remember that at the time of the meeting of Assemlily lust venr, we were callect ui>on to mourn the suilden death of Professor Weir. Ur. Weir had been identified with Morrin for anout twenty-eight years, and was a most jiainstaking and successful teacher. His death was a severe blow to the College. To continue the work carried on by Dr. Weir, Mr. William Crockett, M.A., was appointed to take tlio Classics, and the Uev. (Jeorge CauU, M.A., the Hebrew. Towards the end of January Mr. Caull was attacked with la grippe, which terminated fatally in a fe,v days' illness. During the short time that Mr. Caull was with us he entleared himself to his students, and gave promise of being of ^'reat use to the College. He was indeed a capital Hebraist, and had yut gdt before his death a little taste of what he had longed for and what lie was adioirably Htted for, viz. :— to teach stuilents Hebrew and Old Tostament Exegesis. The classes in Hebrew were con- ducted for the balance of the session by the Uev. Hugh Craig, B. A. onu of our most distinguished ^Tiuluatos. Again, nearing the close of the sessions, we were called upon to part with our venerable and esteemed Priocinal, Dr. Cook. Although the doctor had reached the good old age of eighty- seven years, yet nis intellect wns bright, clear and vigorous to the last, so much so that he met with his class in Apologetics not many days before his death. He died as he lived trusting in his Saviour. In the midst of all this sorrow and anxiety the Governors are deeply conscious of the excellent work performed by the meiiil)ers of the stalF, and of the tine spirit manifested between professors anil students. The attendance has lieen larger than for many years, there being thirty-tive students registered, nine studying for the ministry of our Church. Seven of these are now in the Home Mission fields. As is known to the Assembly, Morrin is athliated to McGill University in Arts, and two students passed the It. A. examination with distinction, one of them taking first-class standing. These two young mon have the ministry in view. In reference to finance, the Governors regret to state that the income of the College is far below its requirements, so that its work is carried on under many ditticulties. There is urgent need of a considerable addition to its resources, l)ut various causes combine to render present efforts in this direction exceedingly difficult. In conclusion, the Governors would repeat what they said in a former report, that they cannot help expressing the hope that the General Assembly may encourage their professors and students by a cordial expression of sympathy with the important and difficult position they occupy. Feeling that generous benefactions and endowments could nowhere be more benehcially bestowed, they earnestly appeal t<> wise and liberal friends of the Church and reli;,'ion to aid them in providing a liberal and tiiorough university and theological education in this stronghold of Roman Catholicism.

The Trustees respectfully submit the followinf; report of the fifty-first session of the University : 1. Attendance. The total number of students registered was 468— viz., in Arts and Law, 286 ; in Medicine, 145 ; in Theology, 37. Allowing for those who registered in more than one Faculty, th" number was 454. Of those in Theology the following 17 were in the third or final year : James Binnie, B.A.; J. D. Boyd, B.A.; James Cattanach, B.A. ; D. K. Drummond, M.A.; A. Fitzpatrick, B.A.; John Fraser, A. Graham, B.A.; D. D. McDonald, I. F. McFarland, B.A.; A. K. McLennan, B.A.; D. McPhail, B.A.; R. M. Phalen, B.A.; T. R. Scott, B.A.; John Sharp, B.A.; J. A. Sinclajr, M.A. ; D. Strachan, B. A.; A. Thompson, B.A. This is the largest final class that Queen'.s has ever had m Theology, and many of them are men who have won high University distinctions, indicating the possession of talents and scholarship that we trust will enable them to do the best service for the Church and the country in after years. The work of the session was prosecuted with diligence and success. Rev. James Ross, B.D., continued his course in Church History, and the Principal and Professors express ni.tire satisfaction with the conduct of the students. Their zealous missionary spirit is shown by the extension of their Home and Foreign and City Mission operations, and by the acknowledgment of their work expressed by the Presbytery of Kingston. 2. Financial Statement. Last year we called attention to a serious accumulated deficit of $8,080. This year the deficit has increased to $9,101, and it would have been much greater had it not been for the action of tlie Temporalities Board in paying up all old arrears. This deficit must be credited in part to the \tU and in part to the Divinity Faculty. It is gratifying to be able to state that the amount received from the General Assembly's College Fund last year was $2,812, as against $2,193 sent in the year before ; but we are still $1,200 short of the minimum sum required from this fund for the ordinary- support of the Divinity Faculty, and our trust is that the Church will now seriously consider ttie matter and put this side of the University in its proper position. We may be permitted to point out again the exceptional burden that falls upon the Board. We have a University to sustain as well as a Theological College ; and the greater portion of the funds raised for Queen's has been for the gener.il work of the University. We have, however, made good the grant previously given by the Colonial Committee of the Church of Scotland for Theolo^cal education, and have added a third Professor and a Lecturer to the Faculty. But the endowment of our Theological department is insignifi mt beside the comparatively substantial endowments that we heartily congratulate Knox and Montreal Colleges on having obtained ; and, until a special endowment for that department is raised, the annual minimum sum of $4,000 must be looked for from the General Assembly's College Fund. This can be done in only one of two ways : by our friends who have hitherto sent collections increasing their contributions from 30 to IH) per cent., or by other friends, who have hitherto abstained from helping, recognizing our necessities and claiming their share in maintaining Queen's. The Trustees ardently hope that by one way or the other, or by both ways, this annual minimum of $4,000 may be reached before they report again to the Assembly^ We append list of contributing congregations, with our best thanks to each and all. The Calendar and Examination papers give detailed information, and these can be had on application to the Registrar, Rev, Dr. George Bell. J. B.

The Board of Management of Knox College have much pleasure in presentintr to the Gener.al Assembly their Report for the past year and also in transmitting the Report of the Senate of the College. Both reports show the continued prosperity of the College in all its departments. The total number of students in the College during the past year was 111. Seventy-nine of these attended the Theological Classes and thirty-two students were enrolled in the Preparatory Course. A number of students, having in view the ministry of the Church, are attending University College, Toronto. The College Residence has been fully occupied by the students, and some who would have desired to obtam accommodation within the College itself have been compelled to seek for ({uarters elsewhere. The management of the College Residence continues as foruierly under the careful superintendence of Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton. As reported to the last Assembly, leave of absence was given to the Rev. Principal Caven for the latter part of the session in order that he might have an opportunity of travelling in the East. To enable Dr. Caven to derive the full benefit of his well-earned holiday, the Board unanimously placed at his disposal the sum of $600. They have pleasure in welcoming him on his return much benetited and strengthened by his vacation and journey, and trust that he may yet be spared for many years to render good service to the Church. The Board acknowledge with thanks the gift of a very fine portrait of Dr. Caven from the Alumni Association. This now occupies a prominent place in the College. The place of Dr. Caven in the lectu-e room during his absence was taken by the Rev, Dr. Kellogg, who, with the kind assistance of the otlier professors conducted the classes taught by Dr. Caven during the portion of the session when he was absent. It need hardly be said that the services of Dr. Kellogg were highly appreciated by the students. The Rev. Dr. Gregg, Senior Professor, ably discharged the duties of Principal during Dr. Caven's absence. The Board have used every effort to see that the comfort of the students resident in the College should be promoted and that the sanitary condition of the College should be put in a thoroughly satisfactory condition. The Board have great pleasure in reporting that the health of the students has been excellent and that no such outbreak of epidemic nas visited the College during the past session as that which was so distressing during the session of 1891. To affect these necessary improvements an expenditure of $1,045..5S was necessary. A large expenditure in connection with the plumbing, steamfitting and general repairs to the building was incurred during the past year. These amounted to S2, 425.88. A fire alarm has also been introduced into the premises. The total expenditure for the past year amounted to .?20,929.94 while the receipts, including a balance of 81,41(5.85 from last year, were 820,465.20, leaving a balance due to the Treasurer of .■M64.74. The total amount received from congregations and from donations amounts this year to $6,227.82, as against 85,984.09 received during the previous year. The amount of interest received from the Endowment Fund was $12,658.53, Attention must be called to the fact that from ohe fall in the rate of interest and the increasing difKculty of obtaining investments the same return cannot be expected from the same capital as was received in the past. The amount received from the Endowment Fund has been from subscriptions $1,0.32.37, and from the bequest of Mrs. Nicholls, .$20,000. The Board have received intimation that the late Mr. James McLaren, (if Buckingham, has left by his will the sum of .$20,000 for the improvemeiit of the library. The Board propose f\mding this amount so that it shall produce an annual income to be applied in the purchase of new books and in maintaining the library in efficiency. The Board can- not permit this opportunity to pass without expressing the deep sense they_ entertain of the obliga- tions under which the College lies to the late Mr. McLaren, who, during his life time, as it will be remembered, gave $50,000 for the purpose of endowing the Chair of Systematic Theology, and who by this bequest manifested his continued interest in the College to the last. The matter of the Preparatory Department has from time to time occupied the attention of the Board. It has always been the desire of the Board that students before entering on the study of Theology should have a degree in Arts, and it is a matter of satisfaction that so many students now in the College have tnken a University course. Arrangements ha/e in the past been made for instruction in this department by tutois from time to time selected for this purpose. The Board would, however, recommend that this department of the College work should be placed under the charge of a permanent officer, who, in addition to the duties of a teacher, might be in a position to iulvise with the students in this course as to their studies and the nature of work in the Church for wliich they might be adapted. All which is respectfully submitted. WM. MORTIMER CLARK, ChairnMn, ii. Appendix No. 8. REPORT OF THE SENATE OF KNOX COLLEGE : SESSION 1891-92.

Besides the students whose names are given in the above Ijsts, there were two ladies who attendeil classes in Church History, Apologetics, Old Testament Literature and Systematic Theology, anil whose proficiency, as shown by the closing examinations, proved very satisfactory. The classes in Exegetics and Biblical Criticism were conducted by Prinsipal Caven from the commencement of the st-ssion.till the Mid of January. From this time till the end of the session the classes in Exegetics were taught by Dr. S. H. Kellogg, to whom the Senate is greatly indebted for the acceptable and ethcient manner in which he conducted these classes in the absence of Principal Caven. In the junior Exegt:.ical class were read several chapters in the Gospel by Luke and in the book of Genesis ; and lectures were given on the principles of interpretation. In the senior Exegeti- cal class were read several chapters in the Epistle to the Romans, and several chapters in the book of Exodus and in the Prophecies of Isaiah. Greek and Hebrew exercises, orepared by students of the second and third years, were read and examined by Drs. Caven and Keilogg. The classes in Church History were conducted by Professor Gregg, who delivered lectures to the students of the first year on the History of the Church during the first eight centuries, and to the students of the second and third years chiefly on the History of the Church in England, Scot- land, Ireland, and in the Dominion of Canada. Professor Gregg also examined the Homilies prepared by students of the first year ; and, in the preparatory department, taught a clasii in Niathematics. The classes in Systematic Theology were conducted by Professor McLaren. To the senior class, consisting of the students of the second and third years, he lectured five liours weekly. Four hours each week were devoted to lectures in the regular course, in which the subjects dealt with were the Decrees of God, and Election, Creation, Providence, the Origin of Man, the Origin of tiie Lord, Trichotomy, Man's Original State, the Covenant of Works, the Full, Original Sin, tlip Cove- nant of Grace, the Person of Christ and Christ's offices as Prophet and Priest. One hour eacd wesiv was devoted to the Confession of Faith, in which chapters xv.-xix. were examined. The students of this class were examined, at the close of the session, on a prescribed portion of Dr. A. A. Hod :.)f Theistio and Christian belief were used as a text book. A short course was also given on the Canon of the Old Testament, The classes on Church Government and Pastoral Theology, Homiletics were conducted throu^li the whole se-'sion by Dr. Proudfoot, whose labours were confined to students of the second and third years. He delivered US lectures on Church (Jovernment. Of these C were devoted to the oHice of the Ruling Elder, and to an exhaustive examination of the Patritic Literature of the first two centuries, ko far as it relates to Church Polity. He delivered 15 lectures on Pastoral Theology. On two davH every week a class conference was held, in which Practical Homiletics was taught. At these conferences 47 discourses were heard and criticised, two students, previously taken by rotation, assisting in the criticism. This was with the view c)f rendering students familiar with Appendix No. 8. • •• HI. applying to the construction of discourses, rhetorical principles that had been systematically taught in the previous session. No models were used in the class, except such as wore furnished by the students themselves ; these were duly corrected. Students were encouraged and helped to exercise their inventive or creative powers in finding suitable subjects, and in constructing discourseH on principles which must underlie all permanently effective, persuasive discourses — no matter what ■nay be the gifts or attainments of the preacher. A class in Elocution, attended by all the theological students, was taught by Professors Netf and Beclitell, of Philadelphia. The students in the Preparatory Department were the following: — In First Year.- Goo. Duncan, W. B. Findlay, W. J. Leith, A. K. McLaren, E. Mason, H. W. Porter, J. B. Torrance— 7. In Second Ykab.— P. W. Anderson, W. L. Atkinson, R. F. Cameron, R. T. Cockburu, W. A. Coleman, G. T. Hall, J. D. .Jeffrey, D. Johnston, W. A. MacLean, William McKay, H. A. MePherson, John Radford, J. G. Held, G. S. Scott, W. C. Tait, J. R. Wilson- 16. In Third Year.-W. C. Dodds, W. T. Ellison, J. C. Forster, John McKenzie, N. D. McKinnon, L. McLean, James Skene, W. G, Smith— 8. Tlie tutors in the Preparatory Department were Mr. John McNair, B.A., in English j Mr. George Logie, B.A., in Greek, and Mr. H. F. Thomas, in Latin. In the classes in English, the subjects of Grammar, Literature, and Rhetoric were taught. Text books were used, and portions of English classic authors were studied. Each of the students wrote a number of essays, which were carefully criticised. There was a marked improvement in essay writing, to which was assigned a place of equal importance with the other subjects. In the Greek classes portions of Xenophon's Amtbasis, of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, of Plato's Crito, and of the Gospel by John were read. Greek Grammar and Greek Prose Composi- tion were taught. Text books were used. The Latin classes read portions of Cnesar's Do Bello Gallico, of Virgil's ^-Eneid, and of Cicero's Fro Archia. Latin Grammar and Latin Prose Composition were taught. Text books in Grammar and Composition were used. During the session the health of the professors and students has, on the whole, been good. Some have been for days or weeks laid aside by illness, but restored to health. In one case the ill- ness has proved fatal. It has pleased God to remove, by death, Mr. George W. Logie, who was greatly esteemed and loved, and whose character as a student and success in the mission field gave promise of a life of great ministerial usefulness. In the early part of the session the Rev. J. A. McDonald, who had discharged the duties of librarian for several years in a very satisfactory nmnuer, having accepted the call to the congregation of St. Thomas, resigned his office, and the Rev. W. A. J. Martin was appointed librarian for the current year. Mr. Martin reports that during the past year 285 volumes, of which T-'i have been by (fift, have been added to the lil)rary. Of the books presented to the library specially grateful mention should be made of the donation by W. Mortimer Clark, Esq., of a facsimile of the Codex Sinaiticus, issued by instruction of the Ozar of Russia in 18(52, of volumes to complete the autotype copy of the Codex Aloxandrinus ; of autotype copy of the MS. of Aristotle's Constitution of Athens, and of an autotype copy of the poems of Herodas from Papyri recently found in Egypt. Volumes to the number of 714 were taken from the general department of the library, nearly all of which have been returned. The books of the Consulting Department were extensively used. "The work of cataloguing the library has been commenced, and is to be continued during the summer. For several years attention has been called to the fact that, in various departments, there has been but a scant supply of books in the library ; and earnest appeals have been repeatedly made to the friends of the college to supply the defect. Thanks are due to the Alumni of the college and others who, in response to these appeals, have contributed a goodly sum of money, the greater part (if which has been expended in the purchase of books which seemed to be most necessary. But a much larger library fund was needed, and the Senate feels called on to give thanks to God that He put it in the heart of the late James McLaren, Esq., of Buckingham, who during his life time contributed the munificent sum of §50,000 to endow the chair of Systematic Theology, to bequeath the additional munificent sum of $20,000 for the purchase of books for the library. For these generous gifts the name of Mr. McLaren should be held in grateful remembrance. During the session the College Literary and Theological (formerly called the Metaphysical and Literary) Society was reorganized, and by its debates and the preparation, reading.and criticising of essays, m public and private meetings, it proved a means of intellectual culture and of useful dis- cipline to its members. As in former years the work of the College Missionary Society has been carried on with great vigour and success. By its collection of funds and sending out catechists to tlie more destitute localities in the North West and elsewhere, it continues to be a valuable auxiliary in the Home Mission operations of the Churcii. At the close of the session 2S students were allocated to different tields. The Saturday morning conferences have been held ns usual during the session. At these and other meetings profitable addresses were given by the Revs. Messrs. D. J. McDonnell, ,J. S. Turn- bull, A. B. Winchester, Edward H. Sawers ancf Dr. W. T. McMuUen. The Rev. J. Knox Wright and the Rev. W. H. .Tamieson, M.A. and Ph.D., completed their examinations for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity, and the Senate conferred on them this degree. IV. Appendix No. 8.

MANITOBA COLLEGE. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF MANITOBA COLLEGE FOR THK YEAR 1891-2. The Board of Management of Manitoba College be^s to submit to the General Aaaembly it^l Report for the past year, and to transmit the Report of the College Senate. The number of stuaents in attendance during the year, as appears in the Report of the Senate, has been 139, as against 131 in the preceding year, and the work of the various clagses has been regularly carried on, A detailed statement of the accounts and funds of the College, duly audited, is presented here- with. The generous donations of the Church of Scotland, the Free Church of Scotland, and the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, which the Board has had the pleasure of acknowledging for several years, were again received, and the Board desires henrtily to thank those churches for their continued liberality i It also gratefully acknowledges the renewal during the past year of the donation of $2!SQ from the congregation of the American Presbyterian Church in the City of Montreal. In addition to these the Presbyterian Church of Ireland has sent £50 as a special donation to the Building Fund, for which welcome assistance the Board is deeply grateful. The congregational contributions from Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces have decreased, and are this year about $300 less than during the previous year. The total amount of these is about $1,000 less than what is required to jiay the salaries of the two Professors appointed by the Assembly many years ago, and for the payment of which the Church is understood to be responsible. The total receipts for the Ordinary Fund, including $1,351.94, the balance in hand at the beginning of the year, have been 810,741.02, which includes, for class fees and board of resident students, $5,243, or nearly the same amount as last year. The expenditure for the year has been $14,033, or a little less than last year, and there has been carried to the credit of the Building Fund $1,030.99. This leaves a balance in hand of $1,<)77.03. The legacy of $10,000 from the late John Robertson, Esq., was paid in November last, and this, with a donation of $25, has increased the Endowment Fund from $15,()90, reported last year, to $25,715. The Board has, however, reserved the power to use this $10,000 for building purposes, temporarily, and pending the payment of subscriptions to the Building Fund. The Board hax received notice of another handsome legac:^ of $20,000 left to the College by the late ,TanioH Maclaren, Esq., of Buckingham, in the Province of Quebec. That it should have been put in hi-i heart to remember, in so generous a manner, a small college at such a distance from his place of residence, and so far removed from where his chief business interests lay, is a great encouragement to the Board. It indulges the hope that other wealthy members of the Church, remembering that it is the Lord their God who giveth power to get wealth, will yet follow the liberal example set by Mr. Robertson and Mr. Maclaren, The Board is desirous of placing this legacy, when paid, as a further addition to the Endowment Fund. The capital of the Scholarship Fund was reported last year as $500. It was also stated that an offer by Miss Perrine, of Berlin, to give $1,000 to this Fund, subject to the payment of a moderate interest to her for life, had been accepted. This sum has been received during the year, and the same lady has given another sum of $1,000 for the same purpose, and on the same terms. The whole amount of this Scholarship Fund, $2,500, is now invested. During the year $455 has been spent in fencing the grounds, and in necessary repairs to the building and heating appliances. Last year the Report of the Board contained the statement that the erection of additional buildings was much needed, and could not be long delayed. The General Assembly, in receiving that Report, was pleased to express the gratification with which it learned that the work of the College had obtained such dimensions as to require the erection of additional buildings, and to com- mend to the support of the membefs of the Church any well-considered effort which the Board might put forward to secun^ increased accommodation. During the past win- ter the Board became convinced that, if the work .of the College was to be carried on efficiently, the erection of additional buildings could be no longer delayed, and after careful deli- beration and full consideration of the wholo question, resolved to proceed with the erection of these during the present sximmer. Plans for a large extension of the present building wen- accordingly procured from a competent architect, and a subscription list for defraying the cost opened. Several liberal subscriptions have already been made and a vigorous canvass is being carried on. Donations made to Dr. King by friends in Scotland, and a few form«r subscriptions paid during the last twelve months, whicli, with the gift of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland already mentioned, amount to $1,354.28, and the sum of $1,030.99 transferred from the Ordinary Fund, with a small balance in hand from last year, enable the Building Committee to begin opera- tions with $2,500 in hand, exclusive of the subscriptions. The total cost of the additional building, Appendix No. 9. ii. and of renovating and remodelling part of the present building, is estimated at from $40,000 to $45,000. Contracts for the masonry, brickwork, plastering, carry the f>roposed scheme into successful operation. The Board, when considering the q^uestion, had before t certain resolutions come to by the Hennte of the College, the substance of which appears in the Report of the Senate transmitted herewith. After careful consideration of these the Board fully approves of the action taken by the Senate, and endorses the views expressed in its Report. The board would, however, call the attention of the Assembly to the fact that the College wul be put to considerably increased outlay in carrying on such a scheme, and it would respectfully, but earnestly, urge the necessity for action being taken by the Assembly to secure for the College the further financial support required. Mere general resolutions commending the College to the liberality of the Church, however well meant, will be an insecure foundation for the Board to build upon. .Surely, if the College agrees to such a rad!""! change being made in the mode of carrying on part of its work, with the attendant risk and expt , ,e, in order to sujinly what is believed by so many to be an absolute necessity in connection with the extension and upnuilding of the Church tliroughout u large part of the Dominion, the Assembly should provide the means of support without throwing an increased burden upon any of the Professors or officials of the College. The language of approval in which the Senate refers to the work done by the various tutors during the past session is heartily concurred in by the Board. Recognition is also gratefullv made i>( the services of Miss Lawson, who efficiently discharges the duties which lie within the sphere of the Matron. All of which is respectfully submitted. T. W. TAYLOR, Chamimn, REPORT OF THE SENATE OF MANITOBA COLLEGE FOR THE YEAR 1891-2. The Senate of Manitoba College begs leave to submit to the General Assembly the following report regarding the work of the year. There is eciual reason, as there was at the close of the pre- vious session, for presenting it in a spirit of devout thankfulness to God, whose goodness has been displayed to the institution in many forms during its brief history. The number of pupils of all classes enrolled dfuring the session has been one hundred and thirty- nine, being an increase of eight over those of the previous year. The increase, while not great, is Iniger than the Senate had been led to anticipate in view of the extension of tlie facilities for higher education in Winnipeg. The Theological classes were attended by twenty-three students ; one of the number, however, chiefly on account of ill health, ceased to attend classes soon after Christmas ; two others, while at- tending regularly and taking some of the examinations, are not yet entitled to rank as regular students of Theology. In addition one, Mr. .ronas •Tohnston, was, the Senate regrets to report, re- uioved by death at an early part of the session to the great loss of the Icelandic Church, which has been gathered largely through hia earnest and self-denying labours. The names and standing of the regular students in Theology at the close of the session are as follows:— Third Year.— Thomas Beveridge, B.A., William Chesnut, A. DriscoU, B.A., Kenneth A. Gollan, Alexander Manson, Samuel Poison, Richard Weir. Skcond Year. -John Maxwell, J. A. McLean, B. A., Robt. Paterson, B.A., F. H.

Post-graduate Student.— Mr. Charles McKerchar. Students in attendance, b>it not enrolled as regular students in Theology. — J, ,W. Guthrie, Daniel MacKay. In the Old Testament Dr. King read critically with the students of the second and third years, the portions of Leviticus relating to the sacrifices preBcril)ed under the law of Moses, and Psalms i. to ix. In the New Testament, Matthew, chapters vi. and vii., and the Ist Epistle of .John were read critically by the students of all the years. In Systematic Theology the main subjects of discussion were those embraced under the head of the Application of Redemption, including Faith, Repentance, Justification, Sanctification, and the Sacraments. The first partof a course of lectures in liiblical Theology on the basis of the personal teachings of Christ was delivered to the students of the three years, as also a number of lectures on Pastoral Theology. Professor Baird taught, as in former years, a senior and a junior class in Hebrew. The former was attended by students of the second year, the latter by those of the first. Davidson's Hebrew Grammar was the text-l>ook used in both classes. During the first three months of the session a class, including all the students, studied Church History five days of the week, the work of the previous year being carried on from the beginning of the ninth to the close of the sixteenth century. The work of the class was based on Fisher's History of the Christian Church. The same class took up, during the latter half of the session, the subject of Apologetics, the work of last year being in.

OP THE BOARD OF FRENCH EVANGELIZATION OF THE PIIESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN C!ANADA. The Board of French Evanf;eliziUion in presenting this report to the General Assembly wouM call attention to a few facts bearing directly on the work committed to its care: — I. The unwonted zeal and activity of the Church of Rome in the work of propagand- ism, as shown by the pretentious claims and one-sided statements in the public press, the circulation of tracts and pa/nphleta falsifying history and vilifying the reformers and their representatives, the frequent preaching of retreats and diligent visitation of heretics as well as the faithful. II. The gi'owing discontent among the people, craving for a better education than they now enjoy, thousands of whom, nominally in tne bosom of the Church, have lost faith in her dogmas, and, unable to free themselves from fostered prejudices against Protestantism, if they have not already lapsed, must lapse into indifference or practical infidelity, if left to themselves. III. Our Roman Catjiolic countrymen in this Province have not the Gospel. Indivi- duals here and there have it in their possession. The Roman Catholic Church has approved of versions of the Scriptures issued by her dignitaries and others, even in the Province of Quebec. That the people have not received them and know little or nothing of their saving truth, a visit to any parish will prove. In these circumstances "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal," but the simple Gospel of the blessed God offered in the love of it. It alone will remove discontent, destroy pre- judices, break down the power of tlie priest, bring to nought tlie ambition of a grinaing hierarchy, and give to the people their liberty and privileges. That God has owned and blessed the work there is proof on every hand. The first iiiiscionaries entered this field altout fifty years ago. Some of them are still active in it. Then there was not a single French Canadian Protestant on the St. Lawrence ; now, at the very lowest calculation, there are twelve thousand French Canadian Protestants in the Province of Quebec, and twenty thousand in the United States. A French Canadian, presumably a Roman Catholic, writing on the spread of Protestantism among his cuuntry- iiien in the States and here in the Daily Witness of 14th May, says : — "One remark may first be made concerning which the reader can draw his own con- clusions. About forty-five years ago, we had a few thousand French-Canadians in the States, and not twentV of them were known to ho Protestants; at that time there were but few priests permanently established among our countrymen; there were not, perhaps, three established parishes in the New England States. I'o-day there are hundreds of cures and as many parishes regularly established, French groups of from ten to twenty thousand, and there are also scattered all through the States thousands who have become Protestants. Why is it that Protestantism grows stronger and stronger as the number of priests increases? Let the reailer, as has been already said, draw his own conclusion on this his- torical fact. You will hear some Catholics say that the ground gained among our connlry- inen by Protestantism is due to the Bible societies, to Protestant propagandas, etc. If it is so, why cannot the priests counteract these influences, if their moral conduct is in accord- ance witii the Christian doctrine? But no; if we lose our faith and language in the United States and here too, we should blame neither the Protestants nor the English — we musi lay the fault at our own door, as it is, first, the fault of men of our own creed, in regard to religion, and our very own fault if we lose our mother tongue." ii. Appendix No. 10. "There are about three thousand French Canadian Protestants in the commercial metropolis uf the Province of Quebec, and five churches where they meet. These churches are supporud by Prod'Htants in general and particularly by the Presbyterians. And do you think that thoHe liberal minded Christians demand the exclusive use of the English language in preaching, smging, etc. ? Very far from it: they have appointed French ministers to these churches, not Irish ministers that would »peak nothing but English, but French pastors who use their mother tongue and nothmg else in their preaching. All the prayer books, pamphlets, tracts, etc., are exclusively in French. This is Protestant or true Christian generosity and British liberality." The writer then gives an ' icomplete list of names of about fifty French Canadian con- gregations and their pastors in the United States and Quebec, a large proportion of tlio pastors in the States being men who were trained in the Presbyterian College, Montreal, and have followed their countrymen over the lines, and continues : " There are many other places in the States and in this Province where French Canadian Protestant churches, chapels, and meeting houses are established, but what we have said will suffice to show the proi^ress of Protestantism among my compatriots. Jjet me conclude by saying that Protestantism is threatening old parishes, situated in the very heart of our Province, where great dissatisfac- tion is expressed with regard to the clergy." Mr. J. L. Morin, pastor of Eglise St. Jean, Montreal, himself a convert from Romanism, in a paper on Methods of French Evangeliuution, read before the last Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, said: " All the results of French evangelization are not represented by a certain number of churches or converts. We are spreading liberal ideas through tin whole Province." As a proof he alluded to the greater measure of tolerance Protestants now enjoy among the Roman Catholics, especially of Montreal. ''With these great results in view, for which we must thank God Almighty and for which, in the name of my country- men, I thank the grand Presbyteriiin Church in Canada which has contributed so niui;ii In the achievement of these results, we may well continue to labor with faith and hope in tlii« saving work of French evangelization. " But this work is attended by great inherent difficulties namely : {I) the depravity of ihe human heart, favored in 'many respects by Romanism; (2) the national feeling; priests tell the French. Canadians that their tongue and nationality depend on their attachment to tlio teachings of Rome; (3) the partial truths of Christianity contained in Romanism cau-^ing its followers to believe that they possess the whole truth ; (4) the ignorance and prcjuilieiv of the people ; (5) the spirit of intolerance and persecution existing among Roman Cathalii>. In view of these difficulties we need the wisdom from on high to'devisu the right methods for doing this great and difficult work." Mr. Morin having spoken of colportage, mission schools and preaching, the methods mainly made use of, referred to the success attending the conferences held in his own church last winter by the K«v. Mr. Martin, the converted priest, and advocated simihir meetings elsewhere in the interest of the work. He also spoke of the power c f the pres- in the work of evangelization ; " No money can be spent by the Board of French Evang- elization with more beneficial results than by sustaining a good French Protestant pnm-r which could go where no missionary can go. Such a paper well edited by a staff' of able Christian men, of whom there are many among the converts, would be one of the nio-t these four methods had not been used in all their applications by our Christian chun'iics tliey were used enough to show — by the results already attained — that there are many reason- for encouragement and for the enlargement of the work. FRENCH NEWSPAPER. At the meeting of the Board last March the question of a French newspaper was favor- ably considered and referred to the executive, but has not yet been disposed of. COLPORTAGE. The colporteurs are the advance guard, and prepare the way for the iiiissionary-teauher and regular missionary. The colporteurs of the Board are practically itiiuiiuit missionaries. Not Oiily do they distribute religious literature and the Word of God, Init iliey also read ii in the homes of the people, and pray with them, and gather the families into small gidii|)- for religious services, whenever possible. Thirteen have been engaged in this way (liirini! the whole or part of the year in Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario. Eighteen huiniri.l and sixty Bibles and New Testaments, and about twenty-six thousand tracts and copiis of Le Rayon de Soleil an(i L'Ami de la Maison have been distributed, A few extracts ti :n their reports will indicate in the best way the nature of their work, etc : Appendix No. 10. 111. ommercial e churches Lnd ilo you h language linisters to Dut Frencli the prayer »e Christian nadiaii con- rtion of the ontreal, and other places es, chapels, ;he pro;;rc?H .estantisiii i* t dissatisfac- jnvert from ast Synod of y a covtain ;hrough tin' )testants now !at resttUs in my country- d so niucli m 1 hope in this pravity of the r; priests tell chnient to the nism causing ind prcjiiiiice'' lan CatliMie-. ight nu'thi-uls the niethoil.j d in hiH own icated similar Ir t f the pres- jreiich Bvanj!- )te(*tant paper staft'of able of tlie nio-^t adians."

I should relate the following incident, because it was my first encoiiragement. One day I did not know what to do nor where to go, so I fell on my knees and cried to God for strength and zeal in His cause, and for more love for the precious souls perishing around me and for wisdom to speak to them. Then I went along the railroal track, and was passing bva large saw mill, when a man called out to me,' Have you got any books to pell?' * Yes,' said I, ' do you want to buy some ? ' I went into the yard, I sold no books but had a long talk with the men. A young man, a French Roman Catholic, promised to come to our meeting, and came the next Sunday. I then went into a French lit)man Catholic family where they had two Bibles, but they asked nie to get for them two larger Bibles, as those they had were very small type. Here are three families who will read the Bible in spite of their priests." "Nearly every day Roman Catholics come to my house and ask about the scriptures, when I havetheopportunity of showing them the true way of salvation as opposed to the way of salvation of tlie Roman Catholic Church. Every day, and often many times a day, Roman Catholics askime, when reading to them the scriptures, what wc Protestants believe." "Last year we were insulted in a goo.i Catholics who came with us are convinced that we Protestan are not afraid of the priests, and also that their church claims to have another foundaiiii than the Gospel, and told others what they .saw and heard, and by the grace of God, ma of them will learu to know and accept the truth." MISSION SCHOOLS. Ignorance, being the mother of superstition, is a chief hindrance to evangelization j hence the necessity for mission day school.-*, in which the ordinary subjects of priniarv schools are taught, as well as the truths of scripture. They have been a blessing to ii htip number of Roman Catholi<' children, and to many scattered Protestant families livin;; in districts where they would either be without schools of any sort, or he obliged to send thiir children to the Roman Catholic Schools, the character of which is well Known. In thi' County of Ottawa, at St. Haycinthc, Joliette,Ste. Anne, etc., there are ten schools which dwv their existence to the fostering care of the Board, and are now self-supporting. Tlie.-ie arc not included in this report, and will account for the apparent falling otr in attendance for the year. Twenty-four mission day schools and three ni"ht schools have been carried on. Seven hundred and niueU' scholars were enrolled, of whom three hundred and sixty-tiu' were Roman Catholics. The average attendance has been over five hundred. A school has recently been opened in St. Gabriel Ward, Montreal, with good prospect? of success. This system of mission day schools is completed by the central mission schools iit Pointe aux Trembles, whose feeders to a large extent they are. POINTE AUX TREMBLES SCHOOLS. These Schools are situated on the north shore of the St Lawrence River, nine miles east of Montreal. They were founded in 1846 by the French Canailian Missionary Societ', ani were purchased by the General Assembly of our Church in 1880. On the mission property tiiereare two school buildings, one for boys, which can accommodate about 120, and tlientlior for girls, witli acconimodation for between 80 and 9 ' includi .g the recent extension. Upward- of 3,500 French Canadians have already been educated hc^-e. Many of tliese now occupy positions of trust and influence as ministers, teachers, physicians, lawyers, merchants, eti. Pupils are admitted between the ages of thirteen and twenty-five, the average age being ,«even- teen. A preference is given to the .^ons and daughters of French Roman Catholic parents and t n the children of recent converts from Rome, living in pai'ishes where there is no Protestani school. Many of tlicee are unable to read or write when first received into the schools. Tin' session begins in October each yaar and continues for seven months. The pupils all reside in the buildings, and thus enjoy the advantages of a Christian home, under the watchful nurture of earnest, devoted teachers. They all take their share of housework. The day',- duties are thus laid out : — Rise at !>M a.m. All are in the class-room studying privately (rim 6 to 7. Breakfast at 7. House and out-door work from 7.30 to 8.45. Family worship', wIhh all assemble together, boys and girls, at 8.45. School begins at 9 with united Bible-cla.-i.sfir all, and continues till 12. Dinner at 12, followed by recreation to 1.30. Then classes till 4, recreation from 4 till 6, classes from 5 till fi, tea at 6, recreation to 7 ; studying privately in class-room till 9, then family worship, (boys and girls iu theit separate buildings) at 9, aul Ai'PKxnTX No. 10. V. ) have licen , nine iiiileHeast all in bed and lights out al 9.30 p.m. There are six leuchcr^, all of wlioni reside in the buildings. Tliey are earnest Christians of devoted, missionary spirit, thoroughly consecra- ted, it is believed, to their work. The Principal, Rev. J. Bourguin, has been twenty-one years cutinected with the institution, and is admirably adapted for his position. Miss Vesaot, formerly French teacher in the Montreal High "School, and daughter of one of our oldest mif'^ionaries, is Directress of the girls' school. She, as well as all the other teachers, ren- ders most efficient service. Special prominence is given to the religious instruction of the pupils, ana to the teaching of God's Word on the points of difference between Protestants and Roman Catholics. In tlic'se every pupil is thoroughly indoctrinated, and it is no exaggeration to state that com- paratively few of our English speaking young men and women are better acquainted with their Bibles, or better able to give a reason for the hope that is in them, than are the pupils uf Pointe aux Trembles when thay leave the Mission achools there. The attendance last session was one hundred and eigluy-cight, the largest in the history of the Institution. Not only is great care exercised in the selection of pupils from the increasingly large number of French Canadians applying for admission, but the poiicv of the Board in inducing the brightest among them to continue for three or four consecutive ses- Aou^, is bearing manifest fruit. The schools arc visited and examined monthly b^' a commit- tee of the Board appointed for the purpose, and towards the end of the session written exaini- iiiitions are held on all the subjects taught iluring the year. A public closing examination took place in the last week of April, which was attemled by a large number of ministers and other friends, who bore testimony to the efficiency of the schools, and to the thoroughness of tl'.e teaching given, especially in Bible studies. When the Board acquired the property in 1880, they resolved to admit no pupils gratuit ousiy, except Roman Catholics whose parents were unable or unwilling to contribute. All others are required to pay something, in proportion to their ability, towards board and tuition. The amount received in this way during the past session wfis S1,G39. A considerable portion of this amount was money earned by the pupils themselves during the preceding summer. This result is mosi gratifying, indicating as it does an increasing appreciation of the value of a good education. After deducting these fees, the average cost to the Church of each pupil is $50 per session. The Board desire that the institution should be sup ported bv means of scholarships of $50 each, guaranteed by private individuals or Sabbath Schouls. A particular pupil is assigned to the donor of a scholarship, to whom reports as to the progress made are forwarded from time to time. In this way a Sabbath School contributing a scholarship, is put directly in correspondence with the Mission School, and the letters, if read publicly to tiie Sabbath f^chool, tend to keep up tiieir interest in the work. The enlargement of the buildings and the consequent increa-^e in the number of pupils necessitates a very large increase in expenditure annually. It is hoped, therefore, that many more uf the Sabbath Schools of the Church will assume the support of a pupil. From those unable to do so, a contribution is earnestly asked. The BoanI bave no hesitation in warmly commending the schools as worthy of pulilic confidence, assured that no means are likely, by the blessing of (iod, to be more eflicacious in the work of French (Canadian Evan- L'tiization, and in advancing the cause of Christ in the Province of Quebec. Year after year fiod has manifestly set His seal upon this work., and blessed the labnrs of the teachers, but never perhaps has there been a iimre successful session than the oneju^t ended. ''The Lord liiith done great things for us, whereof we are glad." As reported to last Assembly, the debt on the buildings was $2,716. It is encouraging to report that this amount has been entirely removed, and the buildings are now free from imlebteilness. It is, however, necessary to put new heating ajiparatus into the boys' build- in>r and to renew the fences &c., on the x.hole property. This will entail an expenditure of ilioiit $l,2r)0. !t is lio])ed that there will be a considerable saving in fuel after the new furnaces have been put in. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL. Two years have not yet passed away since the enlargement of our Mission Schools so as to accommodate about two hundred pupils, and weareglad to say that during the past session one hundred and eighty-eight boys and girls have been received. Ninety-one were children of converted families and ninety-seven children of Roman Catholic parents. The proportion of scholars belonging to the t'liurch of Rome has never been so great, and we felt somewhat doubtful about the advisability of taking so many. However, Protes- tants and Catholics lived in the very best harmony, and though tliev had, almost every day, long and lively discussions about the particular teachings uf the Cluirch of Rome, we saw with pleasure that they always remained friendlv, and that gradually those who had been the bravest supporter.s" of the errors of the Church of Rome retreated before the light of the gospel, and at last accepted it as the only rule of their faith. Twenty of our new pupilt openly confessed Jesus as their Saviour, and thev were admitted into the fellowship of the VI. AiM'Ksnix No. 10. Chiirdi. Eighteen of our young men and young women have expre88ed their desire of devoting themselves to mis-sionary work, and four of tliem have already been sent to various fields of labour. Our scliolar.'f are divided into five classes, taught in the following subjects by six tcacliers : — Bible, Reading, Writing, Grammar, Dictation, Composition, Literature, Arithmetic, A Igobra, Geomoiry, Geography, History of Canada, History of England, Genera! History, Diawiii;;, Singing, Latin, Greek, English, Bookkeeping, Art of Teaching, Hygiene. Besides the roligi^ms instruction which the pupils receive in our public services, pruver meeting!; and .Saibath school, where all are present, they receive every day a Bible lesson, in which salvation through faith in Christ is the {oc.

Two colporteurs of the Board labor in the Glengarry Presbytery, and one in the Barrie Presbytery, in the neighborhood of Penelanguishene. This presbytery is to be congratulated on having among its workers Messrs, Rondeau and Pclletier, "former missionaries of tlve Board, who will not overlook o\ir numerous fellow citizens of French origin in Eastern Algonia. A few extracts from reports and notes of missionaries will give some idea of what is being (lone, and the influences at work : " Walked to-day nineteen miles across the mountains visiting the people. Spent five lioiirs with one Roman Catholic family; they appeared to be greatly interested in the word, and wanted me to come and speak to them again. The people around here are very illiterate, iind progress must be necessarily slow." "Our hearts have been cheero 1 by the eonseiousness that our labours are not in vain, and that God is pleased to acknowledj'e our elt'orts in His cause. I have met many Roman CiUholics to whom it has been my privilege to preach the glad tidings, who listened to me with interest, a'ld in many cases showing evidence of an inward longing after a hij'her, inner power, to satisfy the needs of their hesirts, and acknowledging that the Churcli of lioine did not afford them that spiritual peace of which I spoke, as the result of following the voice of the Lord through the gospel." "Many know that in for.«akiiig their Church and in embracing the gospel truth they Hdiild bo happier. They would like to do so and confessed the same to me, but are, in most cases, prevented in doing so by some worldly interest." "A gentlemen said to me; 'I know that [ should study the Hible, but I fear to do so lest the study of it create such disgust in my heart against ;the^Church of Rome, that I sliall abandon it altogether.' I manifested siirprise at such a statement and showed him his inconsistency and guilt in refusing to take a step which he knew to be his duty to take, while he continued to follow a course which he knew and acknowledged to be a wrong one. To this he became very serious and said; 'Ah sir! you do not know the consequences of my taking such a step; it means failure in my business, and I am not strong enough in my X.

I left him HerimiH and cad, hut, a>< I hope to see him often, I trust God will hIesH my etliirtH, ami lead him captive at Uis feet." "Another gentleman said to me; 'There are hunilreds of uh protestantfl, and were it not that we lack courage, we would completely never our connection with the Catholic Churcli, and hecome regular attendants of your.-, hut we are all afraid lent we should suffer in our worldly interests. The priests have a powerful in(lue>ic(^ over a certain class of people, tliov can lead a certain portion of the population as they choose, and turn them against us. — 'I'luri' are scores of such cases, and I am convinced that in ;he near future thousands througlidut the countrv will emancipate themselves from the chains and power of Romanism. Wciun hilt he f.iitliful in sowing the seed, and ask Ood to water it and give it growth. May llip Almighty God kindle into a tlame the s])iirk of zeal existing within our hearts, that wt may become more and more consecrated to His service," " Six Roman Catholics came to meeting at P— -. When it was over they all came to me asking for New Testaments, saying' vve must know more of Jesus.' I have smce visited tlicin in the]r homes, and have been pleased to see them so decided in seeking the truth of tlic Bible." ^ "Two Roman Catholic families have just left A . They said,' we cannot join your Church here where all are against us, but in the States we shall all become Protestants ut once.'" " A num from I' N came one day to my house. He wanted to see me, and li'drii our belief. I hastened to direct him to the infallible source of life. On leaving he aeccptcj a Uible. Since then I am glad to say that he has decided to send his son, u boy of thirtci'ii, to the Pointe-aux-Trembles Schools, and .so our great work progresses favorably." " I am happy to tell vou .hat I visited St. A eighteen miles from hereon cheinvitutimi of a Roman Catholic. Three fathers of families wei:- gathered together in aho'.isc to hearriip explain the Gospel, which [ did from four in the afternoon until eleven at night. I ciiii assure you it was good to see them listen, and devijur, as it were, the truth. They liiivc invited me to go back, and promised to have a good gathering of people to hear me. So iliiis the good work is spreading. " My wife and I have just spent two days at P The meetings in the School liou.sc ai"' the private houses were delightful. Romanists no longer fear me, and five families uf tli.ni invited us to come and read the Bible with them. They all say we are very niiiuli pleased, you read the Gospel to us, we know now that it is the word of God.' " "It is remarkable how the sick and dying send forme, wishing to speak of Jesus. I iim just in from such a visit, where I spent all the night and part of tliis morning, with a man who sent forme the nn ment the priest was away from his house, and I met him comini; us I was going. I am very tired at times, and the work so trying, but Jesus is with us ami we must speak of Him to thi,8e Roman Catholics who are so willing to listen." "The Roman Catholics are sending for us, and coming to us every day. It is the beginning of brighterdays and great results. The Kreiich Protestants still suder persecution and go in great numbers to the States, so do not look for results in the number of people attending I' '(' meetings. The year has had many many trials, and onlv God knows it, hut far more joy and fruits than my poor faith deserved; so I say, 'Btess the Lord, my Soul I Trust in the Lord and He shall bring it to pass.' " " Latterly I came in contact witli a young man named A , who frequents the hou?c of Mr. T our Colporteur at L . After many conversations he look a copy of the word of God home to the house of his aunt, where he boarded, but found it necessary to hide the book from her. He read it until he became convinced of its truth, and then cuuld not keep it to himself, hut at once opened his mind to a young man, one of his companion.s, who i^ now studying it for himself. Encouraged by this he went a step further, and was soon reading it to liis aunt, who gave him liberty "to place a copy of it on her tivble. Meanwhile the priest ' eard that this young man was not only reading the Bible himself, but also to others during the evening hours, and privately nnnounced that he would denounce from the pulpit these evangelistic meetings. The young man heard of it, and went in company with his friend to the priest's house. He told the priest of 'Jie rumor, and said that in so doing he was .bout to commit a great injustice unknowin>;ly, if he denounced him publicly for reading the wom of God, "tnd asked if it wouhi not have been better to carry out the injunction of Mi'tt., xviii. 18, handing him the book he held in his hand, and asking if he could call that a bad book. The priest examined it and bowin<' to the young man said, 'but they didjnot tell\nie,. that it was Monseigneur Baillargeon's Testament that you had. I understood it was a book you had got from Protestants; of course you may read that one, but then don't kill yourself in reading it (ne te casse pas la tete h le lire) ; I'll not nieiitiun Apf'fndix No 10.

"I am sorry to ref ')rt tiiat two of my best families have gone away ; my heart is heavy, Nine persons gone in oiie day t Ood hles(j them where tiiey go. I rejoice to see our Roman Caliiolic people coming more and more. During the month, at iwenly-Hve cottage prayer meetings, over seventy Roman Calliolics were present." " For the last tliree weeks our parish priest has denounced us and preached iigainst our ini.-'-ion schools and especially the Pointe-aux-Trembles ScliooN. He said: 'Four young men from here are at those sclioois. They will co ■ e back devils. Do not let them come neiir you. Send them awiiy from the parish.' On Monday two Roman Catholics visited me and told me of the priest's sermon; and added ' we must put an end to such talk. If people want to go to your Church or send their children to a Protestant School it is their business and the priest should not interfere.' " " I was much encouraged the other evening. A Roman Cutiiolic father whose two boys have been coming to my meeting, waited after tlie service and said '.Mr. — — , I wish to proeure a Bible, my children come to your meetings regularly and tell me what you say lo them about this book. I would like" to read it myself I like what you said this evening, and ivs long as jny children behave themselves, I will send them here.'" "At V the tea(dier of the little mission-day school gave a New Testament to a Human Catholic child i the book was taken hotiic and for twu months could be seen on the clielf but no one dare open it. At last one evening a little boy took it and trieil to read a little but he only sp(dt and read two verses in St. John's Gospel. At the time the father was sick in bed; the ne.\t eveninij he cilled his son to him and -aid; ' Will you try and read ftgain in your hook ; tind the place you read yesterday ; it speaks of Jesus giving eternal life' The passiige was fouiul and read." Last Sunday F visited the family, the father having a^ked for me. To all human appearance the man is dying and his friends are glad that the jfiest has visited him and given hunmn absolution, but I rejoice to report the words of the living man : ' Sir, I am ij'noraiit, but idi ! I believe that it is true Jesus gives cterniil life! '" " Four years ago a brother minister and myself weie visiting the French Protestants in our county ; one day I said to my friend, 'please wait for me a few minutes and I will go and otfer a New Testament to the people of that house.' This I did, telling them I had the Word uf God for sale, and reading a few verses out of it ; they bought and paid for a copy. I pro- mised to call again if I ever passed there. A tew weeks ago 1 went back to the house, and was greeted in this way: '0 sir why did you not "come back before this. Our son went away iu tlie States two years ago and took the book with him, but we want one, for he wrote and told us ti) buy one at once and to read it, for it is the true Book of God.' " Yesterday at 10 p.m. a Roman Catholic lady came and with tears said : ' My boy is dying conie,comeatonce, he must not die without seeing you.' Of course I went; .some tliirty men and women were in the house. I went immediately to the poor sick boy, pressed his hand and a^ked him if he sutfered. ' No, no, but I am so afraid to die, the priest was here,l took the lion (lieu; send them all away, speak, speak to me.' For three honrs I sjMke and prayed, then some higotted fellow nent for the priest, but as it was 2 a.m. be would not come and the father of the ooy said, 'My eon is well prepared now ; he says that Jesus is coming for him, that is all I want for him an;( All of wl Buininion Sqna; At the Mee the followiiirr l{, "Rereivp unil ^ iomrnonil§ tliu work t'oMllNV Coi.LK anil oBpmally with yfara she ncti'd „» P I'gratiflcd to learn Church."

Til co-openitiiiii with the Agents of sister Prcsliyteri.ui Churciies in Scotliiiid and Australiisia, our tbrco tried and trusty missionaries have, during the past year, carried mi tlieir work in Eromanya, Efate and Santo with their accustomed wisdom and energy. Some shadows have fallen upon the plain of their experience and work, but on the whole the year has been to tlieni one of light and gladness. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson and their family have been kept in a fair measure of health, which enabled them since their return from Sydney a year ago to prosecute their labours without interrnpticm. Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie have been obliged to take a trij) to Australia for the purpose of recruiting their fiiiling health. We eai'nestly pray and trust that they will soon be enabled to return to rluir field in full vigour of body md soul, refreshed by intercourse with the good Chris- tian people among whtmi thoy sojourn. Mr. and Mrs. Annand have been under severe strain from the sav.iges of Santo, who not only attacked and put to death a white trader, but also directly and indirectly affected for evil the people whom our missionaries were bcjj;inning to influence by the Gospel of peace. We are persuaded that this backset will be but temporary. Tho kingdom of darkness driven to desperation is putting forth a sjiasm of effort to retain its gi'ound, but the truth of God is mightier and calmly awaits the day of its triumph. 11, M.P., MiM MISSION SYNOD. This body met at Aneityum, May 28, 1801, and continued in session till June 6. Our three missionaries wore present. Dr. Stetl, who has acted as the Agent of our own Church and some of the Australian Churches, resigned his office, and the Synod adopted a irinute expressing its sense of the great value of his services to the missions. It was % A that the money realized by sale of the Dnijsprhu) be capitalized and the interest be devoted to meeting current e:ipen8es of the steamboat service. Reports from the various stations were favourable. The mission families had enjoyed a fair measure oi health. The progress at all the stations was good — at some it wa» marked. At Futuna the membership has increased, and Christian marriage has been celebrated for the first time. On Tongoa and Shepherd Isles there are now no professed heathen ; and a large number has been added to the membership of the Church. A church has been formed at M."' >, and 14 more have renounced heathenism. Nine natwes have come to live on the mission premises on Tangoa, Santo, and are desirous of instruc- tion. The Synod welcomed back Mr. and Mrs. Watt, who brought with them a transla- tion of the whole New Testjiment into the langu igo of Tanna, the gift of Sabbath schools in South Australia. The work is much hampered by the lack of efticient teachers. " The Native Teachers' Fund " was declared closed, and the various Churches sup- porting the mission will henceforth be required to bear the expenses connected with the teachers of their own missionaries. The following estimate for all purposes for 1892 for the Presbyteritn Church in Canada was approved by the Synod : Rev. H. A. Robert- son, £375 ; Rev. J. W. Mackenzie, £27'i ; Rev. Joseph Annand, £175 ; Day- spring, £250. The Synod of 1892 is now in session in the same place. vi. Appendix No. 11. int. »4TKKIi. Tlie Oominittoe accepted the resignation of Dr. St el i>f the Agency for our Church in Australiii, and put on record its apiirociation of tiie work ho haw done for us during his incumbency of the otHce. Arrangonients have not as yet been completed f(jr tlio future, but will lie during the coming summer. STKAM SEllVICE. The iicconinKtdation rendered to our missionaries by the monthly stcfvmer has been much iippreciftted by them. The Committee leiirns with legret that the New South Wales Government subsidy has l)een withdrawn, but it is believed the service will not be discontinued, and that some means will be found of making the grant without additional cost to the Churches. RKI-OKTS. We subjoin the reports of our three missionaries, wliich tell the story of the year's work with a reality that no second hand can give. THE WOKK ox EKOMANOA KOU 18!K)-91. Bit: //. A. lloherfson. While there have been some things to discourage us during the two years covered by this brief report, and while the conduct of some of our young people living at tiin principal station has greatly grieved us, revealing unmistakably the coarseness of their natures, the extreme lowness of their whole moral life, and their unblusliing eft'ronteiy, yet on the other hand, we have been greatly cheered and encouraged by the life and manners of a l;irge number of our leading Christians all over this island. True, many former years witnesgi.'d far greater external change, such as giving up their degrading heathenism and their wars, in which much property was destroyed, lives lost, and bitter fceling.s engendered, causing shocking murders afterward to Sfpiare accounts, and which in turn led again to war madly carried on by the entire population. But during the last two years our more advanced Christian people, men and wonuii, including all our elders and the most of our teachers, have shown much interest in the mission on their own island, and their has been, and still is, a thoughtful, (juiet gentle- ness in all their words and actions, and a growing interest in the training of their own children, as also in the schools for the training of the young people of the whole islaml. There has been .shown much warm Christian sympathy for us in our serious sicknes.s, :i deepening respect for ourselves and our word as Christ's servants, and a devoutness in prayer that deeply touched our iiearts and caused us through tears to exclaim, " Wlnit hath God wrought ! " We have seen a wonderful, delightful change in Kromanga in twenty years. To God be all the glory. During 18iK) wo had 30 teachers employed in Eromanga, and two young men assisting the leading teachers at Dillon's Bay and Portina Bay. Owing, however, to deatlis, sickness, unsuitableness, and one case of sin, we have only had 2(5 during 181)1. We expect soon to settle four new teachers, th* ugh at old stations. Besides the work on orr island, as elders nd teachers, our people have been, as in former years, assisting som . of the missionarie* on other islands. One of my elders !iiis just gone to take charge of Mr. Michelson's work on the Shepherd Islands. Mr. Miclul- son had this man for several years, and was so well pleased with him that he asked nii^ if I would allow him to go to Tongoa and take charge of iiis entire mission field, the Slup herd Isles, until he and his family return from their furlougl 'tie to Norway. I w^is glad to help Mr. Michelson, and [deased that so much honour should be "'ven t(i Eromanga. Appendix No. 11. Vll. At the two pi'incipul statioim, DillKu's liny on the west sido, and Portniirevin (sandy [Hirt), iin the oast, there have been rciiularly conducted on Stibl)ath8 iin wiriy mnrnintf servico at 7 o'clock, another at 10, and Sabbath school at 3 p.m., which have l)een very well attended. There in an early morning week day school each morning except on Saturday, which is well attended. On the same days and at a later hour there is a class for children, which ha.s been reniarkal)ly well attended, and at last wo have succeeded in getting parents and friends to allow their children to live at Dillon's Bay in order to attend this school. Prayer-meeting is hold every Wednesday afternoon in summer, and in the early morning in winter, and is fairly well cttended. At all the '2l\ outstations there are two services on Sunday, i.e., forenoon service, .•ind Sunday school in the afternoon, early morning schools during the week except on Saturday, and prayer-meetings on Wednesday afternoons. All go to the early morning class for an hour daily. Tpon the whole I have great comfort with my teachers, and my eight elders give me iiiuch help. All of our elders and teachers are fairly good speakers ; perhaps half a dozen iif them are good, clear, preachers of the (iospel. One, Vomot, is excelled by few white clergymen as an instructive preacher, lint as a rtde they are all poor teachers. They lack patience, tact and jierseverance. They do ni>t like to teach beginners. They much prefer instructing those who are able to read more or loss freely and easily. The Lord's Supper is dispensed once a year at east and west stations alternately. We used to have it twice a 3'ear, but found it too much for the old and infirm to travel so far more than once a year. La.st December we met at Portnarevin, and in July last, 1891, the people came from all parts of the island to Dillon's Bay. And after a delightful day on the 12th of that month, when the Lord's Supper was dispensed, they continued with us for a fortnight, attending classes and ministering to us when we were both ill after conununion Sabbath. Before returning home, the once savage, warlike people of a district on the south- cast side of the island extented a most pressing invitation to us to meet at their district next, and the invitation was so hearty and so polite, so unlike anything of the kind we had ever known of Eromangans, that we said we would comply, though it is an out-of tlie-way phice, and no suitable house for ua to live in. But how could we refuse ? Perhai)3 some of my readers may remember me telling many years ago of a mis- sionary journey I was making, and how a naked chief pressed nie to go to his village, a few miles beyond where I had intended to go that time, and how, when following my •^uide, I came upon an open space cut out of the forest, in the centre of which stood a neat school-house, just tinished, and at one side a rude pulpit buili for me by the chief ; and a large present of yams and two immense hogs lying outside as a present for nie ; and lidw the old chief caught my hands and pressed me for a teacher to tell him about God and eternal life : and liow 1 was obliged to seek a (juiet spot to hide the tears that would Hciw, bite my lips as 1 might. Well, that is the dis^rict where we hope to join with that old chief's people and many other Eromangans in .lanuary next, 1892, in remembering. Christ's death. The Christian natives have given the following free labour for mission : They burned two large kilns of lime, finished ;» mission cottage at Elizabeth Bay, gathered thatching for four mission buildings, cleared twice the'undergrowth from the road across the Island, kept clean the graves of the martyrs, kept the mission boats painted, and did all the boating required in visiting other parts of the Lsland, kept up all the district school- houses, built five new ones, and prepared and shipped to Glasgow, Scotland, 16 casks (3,000 pounds) superior arrowroot. In addition to this there has been paid labour to viii. Appendix No. 11. the vtvlne i)£ t'OO .stg., i.e., apart from the teacherH, to serviiuts iiml othurs engnf^od iit times during tlio two years. The number of CliriBtiiiu murriages in 18!K)-}>1 h is been 3(i. Tlie number of aduhs baptized, 10 ; infants, 40. The whole population of Kromanga in 1888 was 2,540. The only profesned heathen are a very few on the extreme south of the island, and a few at the north end. Nearly all would feel insulted if they were spoken of as pure heathen. There are no enemies. I visit every village in all jiarts of the island, and the missionary party is everywhere received with great friendliness and kindness. Duriiit? those two years I have put into the hands of the natives, in their own tongue, the first edition of the four Gospels, and a second edition of the Acts of the Apostles, bound in one ; 2,000 copies — 1,000 bound in cloth, niid l,lKH) lying in sheets in Sydney until reiiuired ; also 2,000 copies of our catechisnj and hymnal bound in cloth. The Gos- pels and Acts cost, including binding 1,000 copies, €170 stg. ; the catechism ai'd hymnal, £27 10m. The British and Foreign Bilde Society paid for the Gospels and Acts, and we are striving to refund the Society, in part at least. The small books we mus^t pay from proceeds of arrowroot, as the B. &, F. B. Society only pays for the printing of the Scrii- tures pure and simple. I have made a translation of the Epistles of Peter, and began last night Rouijuis afresh, but tind it a most ditticult book to translate into Eromangan. Thus my work goes on with its dark and bright sides. Such as it is, I otter it to the Foreign Mission Conmiittee, the Church and the many personal friends whom God liinl given us within the Presbyterian Church in Canada, chief among whom I would mention those dear friends who, for so many years, have helped to support my teachers in this island. God has greatly blessed our poor labours in Eromanga. REPORT KROM ER.VKOR .STATION. By Rev. J. W. Mackenzie. Although we have had several additions from the heathen, we cannot report nituh ground broken. Indeed, there is only one important village on our side of the island, still unevangelized, and owing to their preparation for a feast in honour of the principal chief, who died this last year, we have not been able to do much amongst them. It Ik their belief that if they would listen to the Gospel, while they are carrying on their feast, they would get sick and die. With the conduct of our church members we have been much encouraged. Many nf them have been most exemplary in their conduct, and have been giving evidence of the growth and development of the Christian life and character. Their contribution of arrow root was the largest they have ever made. When it is sold we hope to pay in full the B. and F. Bible Society the balance we owe for the printing of the Efatese New Testament, and to have a considerable sum over towards meeting the expense of printing " Line upon Line," which some of our scholars are now translating, and a new edition of a hymn buol;, which we much reciuiro. During the past two years we paid the Bible Society out of the proceeds of arrowroot, a hundred and sixty-five pounds (£165) sterling. Our collection this year for Foreign Missions, taken up at our last Commnnioii, amounted to twenty-four pounds eight shillings (.£24 8s.) sterling. The regular Sabbath services, conducted by myself at the head station and by the native teachers at the out-stations, the Wednesday evening prayer-meeting, the weekly teachers' and candidates' classes, the weekly class for women, the training class and the week day schools were all kejit up as formerly. My experience in teaching English has not been entirely satisfactory, and of late we have not been devoting so much time.to it.

Under date of 5th May, 1891, Mr. Annand writes : — " Theprospects in regard to the establishmentof the kingdom here arc growing brighter. Since Dec«^mber we have had sixteen lads between twelve and eighteen years of age living with us. They have exceeded our expectation in their well-doing. Several of them can now read, and two of them lead their companions in social prayer-meetings. " This advance on their part has stirred up a considerable amount of opposition. Several of the older people have left church, and in many ways show their disapproval of ApI'KNDI\ No. 11. what is liuiiiur done.

We cannot get a suttiuient number of teaeher.s to occupy oin' villages now reaiiy to receive them." These bright prospects were soon beclouded -September ilOtli, Mr. Annand writes: "On the morning of the I'Jth inst. the l)uslimen from the hilli' iuiedownto Tangoa, «iul lifter throwing the two white men there otf their guard l)y engaging to work with them for the day, they suddenly attjvcked them, shooting Mr. Sawers through the hemi and then cho[)ping him with their tomahawks. The ritie aimed at Malcolm, Sawers compauioti, missed tire, after which they attempted to club him ; but he managed to reach their camp and, seizing his revolver, frightened them away. He then ran for oui station as fast as he could, lest he should be shot on the i>ath. A native of Malekulii, working with the two white men, was killed, and his body carried to the hills for a can- nibal feast. Taking a few of the Tangoans and our own lads, I went at once to the sueiif of the tragedy to recovei', if possible, the bodies and prevent plunder. The bushmen had all cleared out of sight before we arrived, some two liours after the fatal shots had been tired. We found the Ixuly of our friend Sawers on the spot where lie fell, so we brou^'hi it to Tangoa for burial. During the day we made a second trip, and so saved their goods from plunder. The Tangoans rallied round me well and acted nobly. Their anxiety for my safety cheered us and gave us evidence that we have gained a strt. ighold in their affections. " A very sad element in the affair was the fact that Mr. Sawers was marrie{ain, under cJiiti* «f ()ct1, Mr. .AniiHiid says : — " Wo Imvn huil oxcitiim riiium of liitf. I HHHiiiiio you will aeu the letter 1 wrote to the l\^ttne.is uhout the atliiir. We have learned very little moro about the native side of the affair since the mornin;; of rlic murder.

It is now nt'arly six weeks since Sawers was shot, and iiotliing whatever has been doiu- to show the natives that thoy are likely to be punished f(pr the crime. "All have been ipiiet about here since, but of coiu'se less contidence is now phicoil in the nativt's. They are all so liorribly deceitful and treacherous that no one knows what next may happen. " Vou congratulate me on the success of our work. How I wish that we had success ! 1 an> sorry to inform you that our lads are not doins^ as well as they did some time ago. There is a constant influence for . \il brou;,'ht to hear upon them by the people of tlu' villnj^fe in an underhand way that - very annoying. All openly profess to be our friends, but secretly they are doing all they can to obstruct and neutralize the Oospel influence for good.

" Last night our three females all fled to the village, so I went out and locked their house. This morning they wore back again wanting to be restored, so they have got another probation. Simon, my eldest teacher, cjimo to me this evening with a re[)ort that i)ur youngest lad has been talking badly about the Gospel and the missionary. So Master Bomoli got a lecturing to-night in measured terms. Thus you see we have our trials here also. " Odohey ;,',S'.— -Our lads became more rebellious, and for two day.i two of them were on strike ; i)Ut they finally came back and entreated to lie reinstated to favour. So now all is going on smoothly again. The whole male population of the village came with a present of yams to us, to show us that they do not wish us to leave them yet. " Pray for us and for these peo[)le." Ijater communications indicate that no new disturbance has broken out, and it is to be hoped that an era of unbroken success ha.s begun to dawn upon the work. May the Lord of the harvest nuike His word to these benighted people the (lower of Oud unto their salvation. xii. Appendix No. 11. II.— TRINIDAD, The work in this field lias been crowned with much blessing, as the reports abun- dantly testify. The Rev. W. L. Macrae, who attended last Assembly, spent the summer in visiting a number of the congregations of both the Western and Ea.stern Sections of the Church. He waa everywhere received with delight, and was earnestly sought by many places that ho c^uld not reach. A missionary on furlough is in danger of being over- worked, but we are happy to report that Mr. Macrae got through his labours with improved health, and returned in December fitted for a new term of service in the high places of the field. PRESBYTERIAN I'OLLEOE. The institution for the training of native agents has been successfully started under the designation of "The Presbyterian College, Trinidad, ' with Dr. Morton as President, and Messrs. (irant, Cofiin and Ltil Bihari as associate professors. Mr. Cofiin is xrutary of the Board of Management and Treasurer of the College funds. He resides in the insti- tution and has charge of the buildings and grounds, and hits a general oversight of the students in tiie home. The following account of the College, its history and opening, is from the pen of the Rev. E. A. McCurdy, now pastor of Grey Friars .'!!hurch, Port of Spain, and up to his departure thither a year ago a most prominent member of this (yonunittee. The Foreign Mission Committee decided on its erection in the summer of 181)0. Rev. K. J. Grant, who was home on furlough, threw himself with his usual enthusiasm into the eflFort to raise the $+,000 necessary for that purpose, and before he left Canada was able to report success. , Shortly after his return the Mission Council purchased " Shady Grove," a valuable property adjoining the mission premises at San Fernando, on which still stands the dwelling occupied by Dr. Morton and his family at the time of their residence in that town some years ago. It has been repaired and is now used as a dwelling by Mr. Coffin, and as dormitories for the students. There was also a beautiful site just beside tliu Susamachar Church, or church of the "glad tidings " in which worship the native congre- gation ministered to by Mr. Grant and his nati 3 helpers. Upon this site the institution has been erected, and, with the church beside it, crowns the brow of a gentle elevation, "a thing of beauty," destined, I trust to be "a joy forever." Situated in the principal street, no one. Christian or pauan, can pass tlie mission premises without having his attention called to the character of the work there carried on. The college is a fine building 25 by 50 feet with 15 feet post. The frame floor and walls are pitch pine of the l)est quality, and the roof is galvanized, iron tiles. It is raised some four feet from the ground, supported by concrete pillars. There are entrances at the front and rear, and on one side, with steps and platforms of the same material. The roof projects both at the ends and sides, forming a "hood" which at once improves the appearance of the building, and protects those within its walls from the Imt rays of the tropical sun. The ventilation is admirable ; the doors and windows consisting largely of jalousie, lattice, and other open work. Indeed there is but one opinion as to its excellence, adaptation, and beauty, reflecting credit alike upon those who designed the plan and those who carried it into execution. On February 2, Mr. Grant's birthday, by the way, and, though only a coincidence, yet under the circumstances a most delightful way of celebrating it— the Presbytery of Appendix No. 11. xui. Trinidad met in the morning at San Fernando, and made arrangements for the opening services of the day, Rev. G. M. (jlark, of New Edinburfrh, Canada, being also pre.sent. These services were a meeting in the afternoon by the Presbytery for the formal opening, and another of a more popular character in the evening. . The afternoon meeting was attended chieHy by Asiatics, most of the catechists from all the mission fields, as well as a considerable number of the East Indians from San Fernando and the surrounding districts being present. Devotional exercises were conducted in the native language, Hindi hymns being aung and the congregation led in prayer by Bev. Lai Bihari and Cbarles Soodeen. The students present were addressed by Dr. Morton in their own language, and Rev. Mr. Grant in English ; and the Indian people by Lai Bihari in Hindi, and Rev. Mr. Wilson in Engli.sh. Thirty-six students were enrolled. Rev. Mr. Ramsey, as acting Modor.'itor of the Presbytery, announced the arrangements which had been made for carrying on the work of the institution. The meeting was briefly addressed by Messrs. Clarke and McCurdy, the latter simply fultilling his appointment of Presbytery, to acknowledge the part taken by the Indian people in the erection of the college in their contribution of §25?5, and the superin- tendence of the work by one of their number, Mr. All)ert Sammy, who had given some five numths of his time gratuitously in this way, tiuis securing a building of larger dimen- sions and better quality at a much smaller cost than could otherwise have been attained. Mr. McCurdy conveyed to Mr. Siinuny tiio vote of thanks passed by the Foreign Mission Committee, and on their behalf presented liim with a copy of the Encyclopsedia Britannica (American edition), as a token of the Church's appreciation of his services, intimating that the Connnittee rejoiced in what he had done, not simply on the ground of immediate value to the Church, but because they looked upon it as a part of the first-fruits of a great harvest of generous effort yet to be yielded by the Christian Indians of Trinidad in the work of evangelization of their countrymen.

The management and training now cost notliina in money ; but money could not easily purchase the time, toil and thought given to it by our volunteer workers. It has told most distinctly for good on the persons chiefly concerned, and it has com- mended itself to onlookers, both heathen and Christian, as a practically wise effort. It may not be needed in all the districts or always in this one ; the means of carrying it on may not always be available, but in present circumstances it seems clearly one of the things providentially provided to meet a need. .STATISTICS.

Bibli- Snciety. In acknowledgment of this donation, we received 35 neatly bound Bibles, which served as prizes. The interest taken by several of the young people in the C'lristian Endeavour Meet- ings under the 8\ii)crintendence of Mrs. (leddes Grant is very gratifying. I know that these meetings have been very helpful, and three young men from this Society have sought and obtained admission to the Communion recently. Our managing committee, with the exception of my son, consists of Asiatics, who conduct all outward affairs of the Church with ability, and in a thorough businesslike way. The contributions of the native Chuvch exceed those of any former year. The Cen- tral Church contributed, including a small balance from previous year, ,Sl,404.(i2, and the out-stntions, 8392.45, making a totnl of .$1,7!>7.07. From this they voted 8150.00 for the College building. Burdens that had to be borne in former years by your missionaries are now taken up liy willing, skilful hands. For example, we bring together annually the membership of the whole district ; this year the catechists sul^scribed the cost of the treat, and in a most satisfactory way carried out the whole arrangements. As in the past old friends have stood by us. Messrs. Teunant, T-amont, Camming and the Colonial Company, estate proprietors, and also Mr. Robertson, Mayor, have our best thanks. For every favour we desire to acknowledge Him in whose hands are the hearts of all men. KEv. Mil. Macrae's fifth annial kepout. During the year 1 was somewliat over seven months absent from the field on fur- lough, having left on the 9th of May, an.d owing to an unavoidable delay did not return until the 7th of January. In the first part of the year two new school-houses were built, one at Morichal and the other at Fairliold, also two teachers' houses — one at Ben Lomond and the other at .lordan Hill. This completes the list of buildings provided for in the estimate for 1891, viz. : four school-houses and two teachers' houses, the only change being that a teachers' house at •lordan Hill was substituted for a school-house on Lothian's Estate.

The field has been more f'llly occupied with schools and catechists tha.. ' ■\ "ormer years, and a foundation laid for future wi>rk in a large section previously undar no Christian teaching. Amid many influences that are not helpful there are hopetu; . i;ins visible. Gradually our work is being more felt by the mass of the people, greater confidence is bestowed, the way is being prepared for the reception of *' jth and the door of opportunity is wider open. The Christian people are exhibitnig more interest in the work of the Mission, while a feeling of strength and hopefulness for the future is manifested. Greater intelligence on the part of converts has been noticeable throughout the year. SCHOOLS. Much time has been given to school work, which has been considerably extended during the yenr.

Schools Nos. 1-6 have been during the year on the list of schools assisted by the Governuiont. Praysal and Calcutta schools, owing to delay of Government have 'lot yet been placed on the list, but as they fulfil all the conditions and have been recommimded by the Inspector of Schools, in all probability they will come on as Government assisted schools from .January, 1892. Carapichaima (upper) was opened during the year and conducted at ;i small expense to the Mission as a branch of the Calcutta school. Appendix .>o. 11. XXI. Few chnnnos have occurred in the teaching staff for the year. Considerable improve- ment has been shown by the teachers in activity and incroased interest in their work. Throughout the year I trained the teachers in secular studie" from eight to eleven a.m. on Saturdays, devoting also some time to the study of the Bible lessons to be taught in the schools in the following week. New school-houses have been erected and occupied at Calcutta, Rivulet, Praysal, Perseverance and Chandernagore, and teachers' houses at Calcutta, Chandornagore and Esporanza, all of which are most suitable and substantial buildings. The new district covered by the Praysal, Carapichaima and Calcutta schools is a most hopeful one. There are in the section nearly 300 Indian children of scliool age, of a class most easily reached, desirous of education and little prejudiced against Chiistian teaching. Sabbath schools are regularly held in the ditt'erent stations and have been well attended. Uy means of religious instruction in the day schools and on the Sabbath the young are being taught the truths of the Gospel. CATECHISTK. The number of catcchists employed was larger than in former years, to cover new ground and meet the growing wants of the district. Seven men gave all their time to religious work with whatever assistance they were able to give in the schools of their dis- trict, by gathering in children, teaching Hindi or giving religious instruction. Three others gave their evenings and Sabbaths to religious work, while another, who has charge of Dr. Morton's work in the Chaguanas section, gavo part of his time to this tield. Each man has his own district, for the oversight of which he is responsible, thus being gradually trained to more self-reliance. Eleven places have had regular Sabbath services, while ho.spitals and barracks are visited on Sabbath as opportunity is given. During the week the catechists visit the Estate-Hospitals, barracks, villages and homes of the Christian people systematically, teaching the Word as opportunity is otlered and in whatever way circumstances may jjcrmit. On Friday afternoons ou oatechist class has mot regularly for Bible study and report of week's work. In January we began the study of the Acts of the Apostles and spent most of the year on this book. It was my first attempt to teach in Hindi, and by careful preparation, and the aid of an interpreter when my vocabulary failed, the study proved helpful to myself in every way, and much enjoyed by the catechists. It was encouraging to tind these men so eager to study the Word and to t^iko so much pleasure in the grasp- ing of new views of the truth. Without an exception they have proved faithful, and theii conduct has been satisfactory and commendable. The Sabbath evening English service has been kept up throughout the year with regularity. Mr. Thomt)son, who remained in Couva from his arrival in February until May, rendered most accepfaible service in this connection as also to myself by his good fellowship and assistance in other departments of the work. Miss Fisher, in addition to her day school duties, has taken the leading part in temperance work among the young, and by leading the music at the English service and assisting in two Sabbath schools, has greatly assisted in our work. As in the past, our thanks are due ti> proprietors for their liberality, to managers of estates for their courtesy. We also record our thanks to the Sabbath school of Kamloops, B.C., for the sum of $16 paid to Mr. Morrison for this neld ; also to the Ladies' Societies of Kensington, P.E.I., Woodstock, Richmond, Florenceville and Oak Mount^iin, N.B., and United Church, New Glasgow, for valuable boxes of clothing. Such is briefly the record of the year's labours. We can supply facts and figures. Beneath these is the silent working of God's Spirit which we cannot measure. There is xxii.

In tile month of Mny IMr. Macrae left on a furlough to Canada and I was put in charge of the Prince stown district during hi.s ahsencu. The work of this district wa.s carried on .so far as posaiblo according to the plans ot Mr. M.icn.e, Of .necessity the most of our time Wfs given to sclioul work. .\11 the schoids of the mis.sion in the district were regularly and aysteniatically visited. Mr. C. C. Soodeen rendered invalual)le assistance in this connection as well as in the general nianagonient of tlie field. (m the suggestion of Mr. Macrae and with tliu sanction of the Mission Council, Mt. Stewart school was merged with I'almyra seliool after the first of July. This necessitated the enlarging of the Palmyra aeliool building. To meet this exijenditurc — not otlierwiae provided for — the Mi.ssion Council voted !B20<> V. Inch iiad been received f)- supply rendered to Orey Friars Congregation previous to the arrival of Rev. Mr. 3IcCurdy. A small school at Lengua Wood was diaco-.itin.ied at the end of October, and the jiupils were lirought to the Lengua sclu ol. This arrangement has proved satisffictory. Tlie present number of schools is 1'2. with 1 branch school (Elswick). A word of ^\i)lanation may be added in connection with the nundujrof the eonunuiii- cants reported as now in good standing. In the almeiice of Mr. Macrae, it was tlujught best not to receive any new applicants. The "Return " is then^fore about as last year. This field, more than others, his had trials and difficulties, but it is hoped that thesf are now things of the past. In the face of them all the work has jji-ospered and the outlook for the future is very encouraging. The past j^aai ^ work is ended. It has been thoroughly enjoyed. There is i)ut oue regret— so little ('jiie. Reviewing the past and looking forward to the future, we "thank (Jod and take courage." (J.WAni.VN LAHV TKAl'HERS. As reported last year, IMiss Graham, in consequence of an accident, was disabled fruiu work and returned home for rest and recovery. But she found that the sunnner had passed without the return of strength, and felt herself compelled by her physical con dition, )nuch against her ardent desires, to resign her position. The Conunittee secured at once, aa her successor, Miss Martha Kirkpatrick, u teacher of several years' very successful experience, who went out to her work in Docember in company with the Rev. \V. L.

Their reports, as also those of the ii.itive agents, are deeply interesting, but want of space prevents their insertion in thi.'s loport. Appendix No. 11. xxiu. S" LtiCIA. As usual Hctivt) work has boon carrieJ on in this island under tlio Hupervision of ulr. J. B. Cropper, who gnituitouHly give-^ nmoh of his timo to the "0 for Trinidad schools, !?;5(»0 for the Ni'w Hebrides, and .SToO for work in St. Lucia ; and, needless to say, it accomplished its object. This year tho Committee asks from ii ^,"1,700, and from tho pleasing account of its growth, as shown by its last annual report, there can bo no doubt that the request will be fully honoured. That it may continue to glow and influence our people to take a deeper interi«t in the great cause of the world's evangelizfitioii, is the ardent desire of the Connnittee, as we are sure also of the whole Church. Mrs. liurns, its president ever since its organization in the fall of 187<>, has remo^-td wiiii her husband, Dr. Burns, to Scotland. In her removal the Society sustjiin.^ a great JoHs — but wo trust her mantle will fall upon some other sister, that, in tho spirit of Elisha, will continue the work on such lines as the circumstances may require. Tho Connnittee embraces this opportunity of expressing its deep sympathy with Mrs. Burns in the sick- ness of Dr. Burns which has compelled his retiromont from active work among us. He was a most conscientiously' active member of the Connnittee, and took a very deep interest in our Foreign Mission work. We fervently pray that alike to the Woman's Foreign JMiswionary Society and to tho Committee tho loss of two such members as Dr. and Mrs. Burns may be sanctified ; and that to them, thus comjielled to retire, there may come the consohition of beholding the Lord's work prospering abundantly under the diroctiori of other hands, also of themselves sotm being permitted, through tho Doct< ir's restored strength, of engaging anew in its prosecution. STATK OF XHK I'lNDS. The Committee desires to call attention to tho stiite of tho funds. In the Eastern Division tho receipts are .*'22,257.58, or, including l^l,iU1.5(> received per Dr. Reid aft*'r tile close of tho accounts, §23,569. 24, and the expenditure is §31,135.32, leaving a deficit on the year's work of §7,566.08. Of this amount, however, fully §5,000 for school liiiildings in Trini(hid wo.e voted the previous year, though not then paid. But aside from this extraordinary expenditure, nearly §'2,{)00 stand against us on the year. This is partially due to a marked falling off in becpiests, which are always an uncertain source of revenue, and ought to be sot aside for special emergent cjills, such as the extra sch >ol buildings of Trinidad, but to a larger extent to a want of increase in the givings of the pe()l)le as compared with the necessary increase of expenditure on tho work fnun year to year. It is dittieult to avoid increase of e.\penditure with expanding operations, and the XXIV.

Ill,— MISSION TO THE INDIANS OF THE NORTH-WEST AM) BRITISH COLUMBIA. The changes in the staff in this mission field have been much mure numerous than usual, and there have been four appointments to new posts : the Rev. .John A. McDon- ald, B. A., to work among the British Columbia Indians at Alberni (authorized by the last General Assembly) ; Mr. W. J. Wright, to the position of Trades' Instructor in the Crow- stand Industrial School ; Miss Walker, formerly of Portage la Prairie, to the matronship of the Regina school, and Mrs. Lockie to a similar position in the Birtle school. It will thus be seen that the work is growing. Special attention has been given to building up the work of tho new and very completely-equipped school at Regina, with the result thiit the attendance has ^rown during the twelve months from 16 to 84. This has been, it is truo, in some measure at the expense of such schools as Mr. Moore's and the Crowstand ; but the latter, at least, has still a considerable field to draw from, and at any rate the greatly superior equipment of -the Regina school causes the Committee to view without misgiving such a depletion of the smaller schools as shall set their ofhcers much freer for evangelistic work than they have hitherto been. While the attention given to the work of the schools, and especially tho boardiiii,' and industrial schools, shows that the hope of success in mission ork rests maiidy with the young, yet there has been no relaxation of effort on behalf of men and women. Ti;t' majority of our missionaries are now able to use the Indian lan^ua^^es with some facility in personal dealing, if not in preaching, and the general testimony is that superstition is losing its hold, and that there is a greater readiness than ever before to give a respectful hearing to the truth. The valuable and abundant gifts of clothing that bome from the older provinces have done much to break down the walls of mistrust, and the influi'iicc of children who have been trained in mission schools has had, in several cases that are named, not merely an elevating, but even a saving, effect upon their parents.

D. O. McQueen, of Edmonton, tnkea charge once in the month. A Habbath achool for old and young haa been opened ; and recently, at the reciueat of the Indiana themaelvea, a Wednesday evening prayer- meeting haa been begun. For the <|uarter ending with March the number of pupils on the roll wan 10, and the average attendance waa 7. This, on account of removals, was lower than the report for the preceding quarter. ) imiTlsH MIHTAWA8IS. At the date of the laat annual report the death of the Rev. John McKay was fresh in the mind of the Church, and thia miasion waa plunged in grief. Since then Mrs. McKay haa built a houae for herself and her family in the neighbourhood of the reserve, and she expects to spend her remaining years in close sympathy and co-operation with the work to which her husband gave his life. The Rev. Frank O. Nichol, who graduated from Knox College last spring, was chosen to succeed Mr. McKay, and with his young wife entered upon hia work in Auguat. Both display decided aptitude for their work, and the miasion in its religious, achool and induatrial aspecta aeema now to be very etKciently organized. Sabbath aervicea morning and afternron are held in the church, and the attendance aggregates 150. The Sabbath school haa an attendance of 'M. There are now 56 commu- nicanta, 17 having been added during the year by profeasion of faith and 6 by certificate. There were 7 baptiams of children and three of adults. Soon after the arrival of Mr. Nichol, Mias C. 6. McKay, who had been teacher of the niiaaiim achool ever since its establishment under the care of her fatlier, resigned her position on the eve of her marriage, and the Church was deprived of valuable services, always cheerfully given, and with such tact aa to avoid in great measure the difficulties which usually beaot Indian achoola. To teach the school as successor of Miss McKay and to act as interpreter for Mr. Nichol, Mr. Donald H. McViair, B.A., was appointed, and his skill and experience have proved of great value to Mr. Nichol. The number of pupils on the roll during the ({uarter ending with March was 20, and the average attendance nearly 14. This was a smaller attendance than for the previous quarter, but it is to be remembered here as in the case of all the other day schools, that the attendance given is fur the severest months of the winter, when three-fourths of the public schools outside of towns and villages are closed entirely, and when the attendance is necessarily smaller in considerable degree than during the other months of the year. Mrs. Nichol kindly taught the girls sewing and knitting, and also taught a similar class twice a week among the women of the reserve. In the former class there were 14 members and in the latter 25. Three hundred yards of cloth and over one hundred skeins of yarn were used, and as a result the boys, girls and women of the reserve have now clothing suitable for Sab- bath wear. A log dwelling-house for the school-teacher is now being erected, of which XXVI. Appendix No. 11. the whole cost, except a grant of $100 from the Churcli, is beinj^ contributed l)y the Indians. The amount of work they have already bestowed upon it is valued at 875. They have also contributed 855 to the Schemes of the Church. A number of adult Indians, who desired to know more of the Bible, but could not read the Cree version published by the British and Foreign Bible Society, attended a nifiht school taught by Mr. McYicar, and they are not only able now to read and writf their own language, but to master the contents of the Word of (Jod. Mr. Nichol, who is the son of a doctor and possesses considerable medical knowledge, declares that he has found this qualification of immense advantage in enabling liiui td reach some who would not otherwise have come within his influence. Mr. Nichols report concludes : " If the success of our work is judged by the attendance at church services on Sabbath mornings and afternoons, by increased interest in Sabbath school work, in memorizing Scripture truth and in desiring to know more of it, by attendance and appli- cation to the work of the sowing school on Wednesdays and Fridays, and by increased desire tn keep their homes clean and inviting, we have reason to believe that progress has been made. ' I'RINOE ALliKKT. Miss Lucy M. k.aker has continued to teach the Sioux day school at Prince Albeit. The number of names on the roll is 19, but the average attendance is only J), the low average being due partly to the severe illness of the teacher during .January, wliieli caused the school to bo closed for several weeks, and partly to the severity of the weather and the prevalence of influenza .among the children. Miss Baker says: "The pupils are more interested in their les.sons, and not a few of them begin to manifest (juite a pleasiuv in coming. Althougli their progress is not all that we could desire, yet, taking nil obstacles into consideration, perhaps it is all that for the present can be expected." REGINA. At the date of the last annual report the Rogina school (which is maintained wholly by the Dominion Government) had just been opened, under the management of the Rev. A. J. McLeod, B.A. For several months after organization Mrs. McLeod kindiy discharged the duties of matron, but last autumn, as the attendance of children grew larger, Miss Elizabeth Walker, whose work at Portage la Prairie had been -•■ successful, was transferred to the Regina school. Another change of staft" has been due to the resignation of Mr. C. D. Mackenzie, whose experience in Indian schools, and whose executive ability were of great value in the initiation of the work at Regina. Mr. Mac- kenzie now returns to his homo in Kentucky, and his place is taken by Mr. Neil (lilmour, a school-teacher and elder of the church in Banff. The attendance at the school has now reached 84, and nearly all are children who have previously been in one or other of our mission schools. The outdoor industries taught are farming and carpentry. ' Mr. McLeod reports that "religious exercises are held in the school for 10 or 15 minutes, morning and afternooi.. On Sabbath morning a service is held consisting of singing, roadini,' together from "Peep of Day," repeating the ten commandments, etc. On Sabbath evening we have a children's service in which we take up Old Testament history." if U.SC'OWPETl'Na 8. The Rev. W. S. Moore, B.A., continues to hold services on the threq reserves— Piapot's, Muscowpetung s and Pascjua's. Meetinufs are held at six places, with an average attendance per Sabbath of 29. The number of communicants on the roll is 28, 8 havin;,' been removed and 2 added during the year. Fourteen infants were baptized and five Appendix No. 11. xxvii. adults. A small but neat and eomfortable stono church was erected on Pasqua's Reserve, aiul a little log building on land adjoining Piapot's Reserve, to be used both as a place of meeting and as a temporary residence for the missionary on the occasion of his visits to this reserve. There have been many deaths during the year, among them Musa-Kepenes, on Jfuscowpetung's reserve, the first member of the band to be baptized by Mr. Moore, and the leader among the Christians. While on his death-bed, he charged his people to adhere to the Christian religion, to ask for the erection of a church on the reserve and to bury him beside it. His death made a profound impression, and the result is seen both in the eagerness of the people for a church and the greater attentioii that is being given to prayer in their homes. The total amount of contributions for religious purposes was .■SOC. The school, which istaught by Mrs. Moore, had during the last quarter 16 names on the roll and an average attendance of 10. Of these 1(5 names, several are those of poor half- breeds who are practically as heathen and as destitute as Indians, but for whose education the Government does not hold itself responsible, and on whose account, therefore, no Government grant is received. FILE HILLS. Last autumn Mr. D. H. Mc Vicar was transferred to Mistawasis, and the work on the four reserves, which constitute the File Hills mission, has been left in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Skene. The school is making satisfactory progress, and reports an average attendance of 12. Mr. .1. A. Macrae, the Government school inspector, says that Mr. Skene is remarkably successful in getting the children to speak English, and Mr. Skene in his report says : " The parents have been very friendly and no trouble has been experienced in keeping the children with us. The latter seem to hnve learned to trust UB, and to look upon the school as home. We have had service every Sabbath during the quarter. The attendance has been as low as 3 and up to 17. We have been spo king of the Jews and of Abraham, Joseph, Moses and the Israelites in Canaan, and V. L' are now at the story of our Saviour. I see little change in the people as far as religion is concerned. They appear to give good attention to what is said during the service, but I fear there is not -the least desire oi. their part to know of the Saviour. They seem .so very dark. My impression is that the children are our only hope. The thought of their condition is very sad." Within the last few days the Rev. George Flett, the veteran missionary from Okanaso, whose influence reaches far beyond his own mission, has, at the reijuest of these Indians expressed through Chief Star Blanket, gone to the File Hills to speak to them about religion and education. es, mornui!; KOUND LAKK. The Rev. Hugli McKay reports as follows : — During the months of April and May ihe appointments given in last report were kept up, and nearly all the families in the field were visited. Four services were held each Sabbath— two at the mission and two on the reserves. Your missionary attended the meeting of Assembly at Kingston in the month of June, and then a few days wore spent in visiting and lecturing at the following places : Peterborough, Port Hope, Cobourg, Toronto, Streetsville, Burlington, Hamilton, Dundas, Woodstock, Thamesford, Embro, Kintore, Lucknow, Teeswater, Ripley, Walkerton, Owen Sound, Annan, Leith, Montreal. At each of these places a lecture was delivered on the subject of Foreign Missions. Returning to the mission field in July the usual appointments were taken up. j^gjjjEJSSESS XXVlll. Appendix No. 11. At Yellow Calf's reserve fortnightly services were hold. The average attendance was about 30. The people have shown not a little interest in the raeetinas. We had tho free use of a house in which to hold our services. We were welcomed in their homes, and received shelter for ourselves and our horses during the nights we ipeut with thtni, As this field is 30 or 35 miles distant from the mission, we found it noces^ary to leiive home Saturday morning and return Sabbath evening. The people show that they are interested by remaining after the close <:* the regular meeting to ask questions and com- pare their pagan religion with the Christian. They speak freely of the folly of having "?h gods as the north wind and the thuii.ler ixnd stones and the buffalo bones. They s J that these are only creatures, and say that it is right to worship only one Great Spirit. While speaking with these people in the meetings you would think they were all in the balance and about to give up their paganism and embrace the light of the Bible, but they go out and are still the same pagans. The most of them are farming now. They had a good crop last year, .so there is unt much destitution, but there has been much sickness during the past year, and a few have passed away, among them one little girl about four years of age. The memory of that sweet face still lingers on my heart, and I like to think of her as in heaven. There was also one young man who was a scholar at our school two years ago for a terni of three months. He had not been baptized, but I trust he knew enough about Jesus to lead him to love Him, and he has gone into the presence of Him who " is touched witli the feeling of our infirmities," "who shall not quench the smoking flax nor break thebruisid reed " There are four on this reserve who are professed members of the Church, and we trust the example of these, with God's blessing, may do much in leading these pour pagans into the light and liberty of the Gospel. On Osoop's reserve we iilso had fortnightly services at the house of Gaddio. Here we always meet with a nice gathering of civili/ed people. They come to meeting dressed as white people ; they take part in the services, and are always interested. Most of tiie people are settled down on their farms, and are doing well. They will no doubt soon bo in comfortable circumstances. We have on this reserve two members. Although tlie majority of the people are Catholics, still we think we have a work to do. In mission work we visit all alike. We are always treated with kindness by the people belonging to that Church, who are held in ignorance and darkness worse than that of the poor pagan, On this reserve we also had occasional services at the Agency, and at the house ni Nepapenaso. At the Agency we always have good meetings, which are attended liy all the white people about, and by the Indians in the near vicinity who understand English. I must mention the kindness of the agent. Col. McDonald, and of Mrs. McDonald, in giving us the use of their parlour for our meetings, and of Mrs. McDonald in leading the service of praise. Alsf) of Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland, farm instructors, whose house haj been always open for your missionary, and whose table often satisfied his'hunger. The house of Nepapenase is in the valley, and here we were able to induce some of those who live some distance from the house of Gaddie to attend, also a few belonginf; to the Church of Rome. Kewidahaw's Iie.ierve. — Here we had also regular services in the house of the chief, some who are still pagans driving five or six miles to attend the meetings. In regard to the progress made on this reserve, I am not able to speak. They all speak well of the school. There is scarcely a child of school age who is not attending school. They treat your missionary with kindness and respect. They speak well of the religion of the white man. They have stood up in the meeting and declared publicly that they have lost faith in their own religion, and that the religion of the white man is the true religion, and yet they are all still pagans and bound to their idtds. Appendix No. 11. XXIX. L. and his wife have been attending our meetings during the past four years. Thei son has been attending our school during the same time. They frequently visited us, »nd we visited them in their home, and we looked upon tliem as perhaps the most civilized on the reserve. When asked about becoming Christians they would say, "Before long." At our last communion we expected them to unite with us. They attended our meeting. K. also attended that meeting, and in the morning spoke to me about uniting with us. L. and his wife heard of this conversation and of the intention of K. They took him to one side, and scolded him for thinking of giving up the religion of his father. I mention this fact to show how we may be at times disappointed and discouraged in our expectations. One man said, " If this boy who is ill shall recover, then my wife and I shall know that the Lord is God, and we shall come and be baptized and we shall then stand for our children in baptism." The little boy is recovering. It is easy for people to make promises when in trouble, but as soon as the plague is gone the promise is forgotten. The Chief has said, " Next summer I shall cut off my long locks, and cut away my pagan worship and worship the living and true God. " The people «)n this reserve are doing well at farming. They are settled down in their own homes, anu becoming more like white people in this respect. I was surprised to find at one home two rooms, one as a kitchen and dining-room, with stove, chairs, table, dishes and all nice and clean, the other for bedroom, with carpet on the floor, the wall papered, pictures on tlie wall, a little stove nicely polished, and every indication of comfort. Oochapaooase is the next reserve east, and here our meetings were held at Kennie's. Here we find the most degraded of our Indians. Many of them are helpless and worth- less. There are about twelve families living near to one another. Their houses indicate poverty — no stove, no chair, nor table, nor bed— keeping up the old ways and starving. There is another little encampment like to this a few miles distant, in which there are ;il)out eight families. The Chief of this band was Oochapaooase. He passed away last fall. I visited him .several times during his illnei-s, and spoke Co him ag.ain and again of the way of redemption through Christ. During my last v)Jt I asked him, "What shall I say to all your kind friends far away, wiio have been praying for your conversion ? " He said, '• Tell all my kind frit-nds that this poor ch'^f dies with love in his heart to the Great Spirit. Take my boy," he said, "and edacate him in your school. I have not much to leave. I am not able to give you money to pay for his education — only that black horse — I give you that." It was sad to witness the sorrow of the poor widow. Can you think i>f a little Indian village, sheltered from the north wind and from the storm from the east and west by a forest I It is winter, and as you come near, you see now and then a shower of sparks from the little chimneys as some Indian woman stirs her fire or supplies new fuel. You enter a humble abode, and upon the ground is seated the poor widow. As soon as you are recognized she begins to cry as if her heart would break. She is soon able to talk a little about her loss, but before long she gathers her blanket about her and goes out. She follows a well-marked path through the forest and the dark, and the keen frosty air ; she conies to a little hill, and on this hill is pitched the old tent, and in the tent is the grave of the Chief. The widow walks about the tent, and you may hear her voice far as she repeats over and over again, full of sadness, tlie words, "My tent companion— my tent companion." We pity the poor pagrn woman as she weeps for her loved ones — no bright star of hope ta li^ht up the gloom. Although there is much that is sad and discouraging in our mission work among this band, still we have tokens of good. The people who at first rejected us now open their doors and ask us to come in. They say, " Come often and tell us about God, and about XXX. Appendix No. 11. His Son and iihout the good Spirit. It is hard fur us to understimd ; make it eiisy for ii'- like children. " One young man died thiss winter. During my visitH to this voung miui the Indian^ would gather about and listen with marked attention to what we said, and they all seemed to join in the prayer. I trust a bright day is near for the poor pagans on these reserves. At Round Lake Miasion regular services are held twice each Sabbath. These weio attended by the people of the mission, tlie scholars of the school, a few of the IndiaiiN whr) live in the neighbourhood- also a few white people who are near. The attendance varied from 30 to 120. We were, through the kindness of the Woman's Foreign Mission Society, able t'> clothe many feeble ones, and to make more comfortable the bed of many who were sick. In the day when the books shall be opened, the Church shall know more of what that noble band of workers have done for the poor pagans of our beloved Canada. May (J.kI bless more and more the Woman's Foreign Miasion Society. Our connnunion was held on the second Sal)])ath of March in the scliool-room. Tliu meeting was well attended, some driving thirty miles to be present, others twenty miles, and not a few twelve miles. Six members were added upt)n profession of faith in tlu' Lord .Jesu3. Two made application for baptism, but baptism was delayed for a little. We have no doubt, however, that the same parties will come again with more light on the subject of baptism, and a higher appreciation of the honour of being received as members of the visible church of Christ. Twenty sat down with us and partook of the emblems of the broken body and shed blood of our blessed Lord and Master. We thov'-ht of the promise, " Lo I am with you all the days," and felt that good impres8iiiii> were made, not only upon the hearts of those who are his professed followers, but aisx on those who are " almost persuaded," and on those who are still " joined to their idols.' The Sabbath school has been conducted through the year with an average attendance of atout 30. The regular Sabbath school lessons have l)een taken up, and not a little interest shown in committing to memory portionB of Scripture, the Shorter Catechism, and hymns. The numbei' of members added during the year is 8, 6 by profession (if faith and 2 by certificate. The number of baptisms — 6 infants. Meetings were held at 7 different places. More than 100 families have been visited in their homes. One of our communicants was i-emoved by death, Mary Ann Gaddie, aged about 12. Her end was peaco and joy and full confidence in the power of Jesus. We have no elder in the Held, nor prayer-meeting. There are about 500 persons in the field who are not able to understand English, and about 100 who speak English. The attendance during the year at the school Las not been as high as last year, as 8 have been sent to Regina Industrial school, and 2 have been taken to Qu'Appelle Industrial tchool ; but those who were with us were more regular in their attendance. The average attendance for the year has been about 17i, whereas for the previous year it was about 20. From Yellow Calf's reserve wo have not a child v.t present attending a school. There are over 20 children of school age there attending no school. Tho only reason they give is that their children are too small to lea'.e home, and they wish to have a school on their own reserve so that they may s.;e their children often. The progress made by the children at school has been as good as we could expect. The children spent from 4 to 6 hours each day in the school-room, and besides this the girls have done most of the house-work, we having had no hired help during the past 'A months ; also the boys have found work hauling hay and wood, attending to cattle, keeping on fires, Ac.

The three-storey stone building, which was in process of erection a year ago, was com- pleted last summer at a cost of $3,000. It was fully occupied during the winter, and this spring a re-arrangement of rooms is b-ing made in the old building ind a small wooden addition is being erected, which will fit the whole much better for the purpose for which it is intended. At the request of the Indians the erection of a big church has been undertaken, for which most of the labour will be furnished gratuitously by the Indians themselves. The Rev. G. A. Laird, B.A., and his wife, who faithfully and laboriously carried on the work of this mission, had been for some time anxious about the education of their children, away from the evil influences of an Indian reserve, and in the month of March Mr. Laird sent in his resignation. His place has been taken by the Rev. C. W. Whyte, B.A., a graduate of Montreal Presbyterian College, who during the past two years has given valuable service in the Home Mission field at Killarney. Services are held at four places, with an average attendance of about 50. There are 44 communicants, three of whom were added to the roll during the year. For the past (juarter the school had iiO names on the roll, and an average attendance of 42. During the year 26 pupils have been transferred from this school to that at Rogina, by 'vhich process and by the increased accommodation indicated above, it is expected that t;-ere will be a complete avoidance of the overcrowded condition of the school, of wh.ch freijuent complaints have hitherto been made. Much needed help was given to the principal last autumn by the appointment of an assistant in the person of Mr. \V. J. Wright. Mr. Wright's ;';jecial work is to act as industrial instructor to the boys, and he has proved himself not only well ([ualified for his duties, but capable of winning, in a high degree, the confidence and good-will of the pupils under his charge. ItlRTLK. The good work hicherto carried on by Mv. and Miss McLaren has been continued, and their hands have been strengthened by the addition to the staff of Mrs. Leckie, who brings to her work the skill of a trained nurse. The school is filled to the limits of its capacity witii 34 names on the roll, and an average attendance of 24. The building in which the school was held a year ago was in poor condition, and ill-suited in plan for the purposes of an industrial school. It was therefore given up in November and another building rented, which although weather-proof is still unsuitable. The last annual report contained the following statement : " The Government has informed your Committee that the sum of §10,000 has been inserted in the estimates to be laid before the current session of I'urliament, to provide for the erection of a new building." The promise implied in this statement has not yet l)een fulfilled. It now seems extremely desirable, both in the view of your Conunittee and of the Presbytery of the bounds that the Church should undertake the erection of such a building as is needed, and such as shall allow tlie painstaking otticers of the schtiol to achieve the success which their diligence merits. Owing to the location of the school within the limits of the town of Birtle, the children have the privilege of attending the Presbyterian church and Sabbath school. BIUD TAIL. The Rev. John McArthur, who has charge also of an adjoining Home Mission field, reports that there are 28 Indian families under his care on the reserve. There are 28 communicants on the Roll, two having been added during the year, and two removed by death. There are two elders, and the number attending the Sabbath service is 45. There is a Sabbath school with an average attendance of ten, the majority of ch Iren of school XX xu. Appendix No. 11. age being away from home in attendance at boarding and industrial scHooIn. The Young Men's Christian Association holds weekly meetings in the homes of the people, with an average attendance of seven. The W. F. M. S. has religious exercises in connection with its weekly meetings. It has fifteen members and an average attendance of seven. The congregation contributed ^bl during the year, of which #25 was for the Schemes of thu Church, and $10 for charitable and benevolent objects. The past year, Mr. McArthur says, has not been without its discouragements. Some of the Christians have taken share again in the heathen gambling dances, and as a con8e(iuence there have been several painful cases of church discipline. Although the Christian Indians exhibit many imper- fections of character and disposition, yet there is such a contrast between their manner of living and that of their heathen neighbours that it has a strengthening effect on the Chris- tians themselves and a good influence even on the heathen — and thus slowly yet increas- ingly tlie Gospel is manifesting its power over the whole band. OKANA.SE. Services are held at four places within the bounds of the four reserves which con- stitute the parish of the Rev. Geo. Flett. The total population is 270. Of these the only Christians are at Gkanase, where there are 28 communicants. There were five baptisms during the year. Those Indians contribute nothing towards the support of ordinauceb, but they have a small fund for the relief of the sick and destitute among their own number. The day school under the charge of Miss Cameron has seventeen names on the roll, and an average attendance of twelve. A Sabbath school was carried on until the cml of January', by which time the attendance had become very smEiIl on account of the severe weather, and it was given up until the return of spring. Mr. J. Ansdell Macrae, the Government insiiector of Indian schools, in a letter in which he praises several of our teachers, says : — " I shall mention Miss Cameron to the Department as the best day school teacher in the North- West Superintendency." I'ORTAOE LA PRAIRIE. Since the removal of Miss Walker to Regina, the work of this school has been carried (in by Miss A. Fraser as matron, and Miss E. Huston as teacher. This is a school in which some of the pupils are boarders and some are day scholars. In the winter the number of day pupils is small. For the last quarter the record of this school has been 23 on the roll, and an average attendance of 14. The Indians take a keen interest in the Sabbath sor vices held in their camp. One of their own number acts as interpreter. They join in the singing with evident feeling, and several lead publicly in prayer in the Sioux language. The temptations that lurk in the way of their Christian life are many and hard to resist, and contrary to the law though it is, the depraved men who supply intoxi- cating liquor to the Indians now and then occasion the fall of some follower of the Lord Jesus, whose spirit is willing but whose flesh is weak. The Rev. Peter Wright, B.D., and several of the members of his congregation have always '..neu a deep interest in the mission, and its success is due in no slightmeasure to their help. An addition cnstini; about $300 was made to the building last autumn to accommodate the increasinn; attendance. AI.BERNI. Last July the Rev. .J. A. McDona'd, B.A., entered upon his duties as missionary t( tiie Indians of British Columbia. After spending some weeks in exploring he settled upon Alberni as his headcjuarters, with the approbation of the Committee and tht- Columbia Presbytery, and mission premises there have been purchased by the Committee, with funds generously provided for the purpose by the Woman's Foreign Missioniiiy Society. Plans are being laid for the establishment of an industrial school, and in tlie meantime Miss Minnie McDonald, the missionary's sister, has without expense to the Ari'KNDix No. 11. x:::::ii. le Young , with an tion with en.

Froiii the neighbouring Opitchosaht village five children attend tho public school of Alberni. Services are held each Sabbath, when the people are at home from their sealing and fishing expediti.:■■ inissioj , and discovers that while Christianity setks to relieve need, it does not uragi ii''^- jss. Four pages of the Wp.sU ; 'lissioiutry have been occupied monthly in advocating the claims of Indian missions and making the Church aci(uainted with what is lieing carrie.i on. The labour and responsibility of editorial duties have been abundantly rewarded by the increased interest which is being shown in the work of reclaiming the aborigint'S of tlie North-West. Grateful acknowledgment is due to several ministers who during the year had it in their power to aid our missions, and who ungrudgingly gave time and intluencn to tliis end. It is fitting to mention in this connection the Rev. D. G. McQueen, nf Edmonton ; the Rev, A. Robson, of Fort Qu'Appelle; the Rev. P. Wright, of Pottage la Prairie ; and the Rev. P. McF. McLeod, of Victoria. The Sub-Committee held fortnightly meetings as in former years. These wiiv attended regularly by the members resident in \Vinnii)eg, and on special occasions als>' by missionaries and representatives of the western Presbyteries. SUMMARY. There are 13 Indian missions under the care of the Churcli. There are 8 ordained missionaries and 22 helpers who assist, or in some cases are in sole charge, in the capacity of teachers, matrons of industrial schools, or the like. There are 222 Indian communi cants — 40 were added during the year, and 10 removed, leaving a net increase of 30. There were Id baptisms of adults and 56 of infants. The 11 Sabbath schools have an average attendance of 294, and in addition in some aises, such as Portage la Prairie ai d Birtle, the Indian children attend the Presbyterian Sabbath school of the town in com pany with white children. There are 8 industrial schools, which have an enrolment ni 264 pupils, and an average attendance— for the first quarter of 1892 — amounting to 2L'(i. There are 4 day schools, which have 65 names on the roll, and an average attendance of 36. §277 were contributed by Indisns for religious purposes, of which .?10.'i went to tla Schemes of the Church. This is an increase in every particular except the number nt baptisms and the attendance at day schools. The work of Indian evangelization grows in interest, the more we know of the wards of our nation the more do their necessities appeal to us. The work grows in urgency too. Settlers arc crowding in with their feverish anxiety for " (.etting on " at any co;,t, and many of them with the theory that the Indian has no rights which a white man is bound to respect. The prohibitory liquor law, with its wholesome restrictions, is now gone, and however loosely its prohibitions were regarded among white men, it made it possible to enforce the prohibitory law for Indians, These are some of tlie intiuences which are abroad, and which are not likely to predispose the Indian in favour of adopting the white man's religion. It is the more necessary then that we be up and doing to possess our whole land, farms, ranches, mines, reserves and all for Christ. Appendix No. 11. XXXV. IV.— MISSION TO CHINA. (I) FORMOSA. The record of the pftst year in tluH i)f>rti(in <»f the mifHinn field, like that of former yofirs, has l)een one of progress. The wori< has been prusecuted with zeal and energy by Dr. MacKay, his fellow-labourers and helpers, and an encouraging measure of success iias accompanied their labours. Owiny to the death of Mr. Jamieson, to wliich reference is made in the report of this Committee to last Assembly, Dr. MacKay has been without a Canadian colleague during the past year. It is not desirable, in the judgment of your Committee, that this state of things should continue. Dr. MacKay has also indicated his ilesiro for the appointment of a missionary t ■ ' li"' brethren from the Presbytery of Honan should visit Formosa and confer with JJw M , ;Kay, has not buen carried out. While both the Presbytery and Dr. MacKay txprt ed .he pleasure wliich they would have in meetina; and conferring together, it wa' ■ )t deemed advisable by the Presbvtery that any member of the staff should be sent >. .. :mch a missicm in tilt' circu.nstances in which the missionaries were situated at that time. Last year events prevented statistics of the mission in Formosa being sent, but this year your Committee are pleased to be able to lay before the Assembly very interesting extracts fr others, ' Rei>ent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ.' Peter began one morning at 9 a.m. and admitted 3,000 by sun- down. Well now, suppose he did. What then 1 He didn't get 3,000 every day, and many a weary tram]j the heroic Paul made without seeing thousands flock in at once. " But why get on this line of tliought ? Lot Apostles and Martyrs enjoy their well- earned crowns and habitaticms. Our busiiiess is not t(^ be harping about those 3,000, but to strain every nerve in doing our duty — in being faithful unto death. We serve the same Lord and Master, unchanging and unchangeable for ever. Wo have no right to (|ucstion His giving thousands in one day, or one in a thousand days.

In his report Mr. MacVicar says : "Owing to the exigencies of the situation my Hi. has been S(Jinewhat nomadic during the past year. My studies in March were turned largely in the direction of preparing and delivering my first formal discourse in Chinese He states that during his journey from Tientsin he had abundant opportunities for preach i ig both in English and Chinese, and especially for seeing the work carried on by experienced missiimaries. "Duringmy secondyear in China besides adding intinitesinially to my knowledge of that continent of reseai'ch, the language, several other lessons have been learned. One is the wisdom of our Saviour's arrangement in sending out His disciples two by two. Another is the wisdom of the advice of Dr. Nevius, that new comers should not be expected to assume responsible work till five or six year.s after tlnu arrival. But most consciously of all, as already mentioned, has come the lesson of daily and hourly dependence on the sufficiency of His grace who has sent us here to proclaim to a hostile population the unsearchable riches of Christ." KEPOUT OF THE REV. JOHN MAChOlOALL The year for Mr. MacDougall and wife has been one of domestic trial. The wintei months were spent in Lin Ching in study. During the year Mr. MacDougall suttercii Cvinsiderably from ill health, while of Mrs. MacDougall he says she had not duriui,' tin year a single day of real health. He records with regret that on this account lie lias not made the progress he expected with the language during the year. He appears, howevei, to have willingly done all in his power to aid in the work of the n)'.88ion. KKPORT OK REV. M. MACKE.NZIE. He states that the first two months of the year were oocujiied with the study of tin language.

The reports from our India Mission field have been received at ao late a perif Christian laljDur. Their hearts have been saddened by the death of Miss Harris, who had nidiiiireil herself to every mem))er of the staff, and impressed them with a sense of her devntiun, and of her aptitude and ability for the work to which she was called. We quote from the rojiort of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society the following reference to lier death : " i-f'. manly speaking, everything that could be done for their suffering sister was done liy the members of the mission staff both at Neeniuch and Indore. It was decided by her jihysicians tliat the o- ly chance of recoveiy, in their estimation, was a sea voyage, and •■i.e M\»'')n Coi.ncii determined to send her home to Canada. Dr. McKullar was iil'iiomteil toauoiiiipimy iier to London. IJefoiu reaching liritain she became unconscious, and on Feb. 15 the spirit was set at liberty, and, 'absent from tlie body, she was present Appendix No. U. Xl' with the Lord.' Misa Gordon, of Whithy, Rev. Dr. Caven, of Toronto, Rev. Dr. Matthews, and h few other friends, were present when the body of our beloved sister was l;iid to rest in a quiet spot in the city of London." Tlie Church mourns the loss of a Jieloved and faithful servant, and unites in the expressions of sympathy with the parents and friends of the departed which the &,ad event has called forth. Reports have l)eon received from the other lady missionaries with the exception of Dr. Margaret McKellar, whose health has nurer in the mission field. Dr. Elizabeth Beatty is at ])re8ent at home on furlough, and we regret that the state of her health makes it doubtful if she will be able to I'eturr. *;() her position in India this year as she had hoped to do. Re\ . W. A. Wilson and wife are now in Canada on furlough, and Mr. Jamieson and his sister are carrying on the work in Neemuch in their absence. The visit of the Governor-General of India to Indore, and to our mission there, during last year, was an event of great interest to our missionaries and of some importance to our work. His kindly words of appreciation of the labours of our missionaries was an encour- agement to them, and could not be without a beneficial influence upon the native population. In the following extracts from the reports of the missionarioa will be found a state- ment of the progress of the work in the difterent stations. REPORT OF REV. J. WILKIE. The past year lias been in many respects the most trying yet experienced in India. Tile constant strain of the work in its many doj)artments ; the efforts often misunderstood and sometimes sadly misrepresented; the cherished hopes not realized; the loud calls for help from the many centres around us, that could not bo responded t take ciiarge of the Work in Mhow; but he carries with him the gratoful memories of tiiose who W'3re associ- ated with him here, as the addresses presented to him both by college students and the congregation amply testify. liicildiiu). — Much time and thouglit liave nocossarily been given to this work i e. Us. 2,000 have been given by friends here for tiio Building Fund c t tlie ho8;)ital. xlvi. Appendix No. 11. Tho boarding school building is t\ large massive building, with ample accommodation in its large dormitories for a very much larger number of Christian girls than we have here at present, and in its large airy class-rooms for a large number of outside iiui)ils that mo already seeking admission. The sincere thanks of tlie mission are due to the ladies of tliu Wtiman's Foreign Missionary Society, for so liberally providing forthis necessary andimport- ant work, now made possible by these i)uildings. The college l)uilding has not made etpial progress, as we were waiting for tliu Government grant and therefore their sanction to our plans. The (juestiun is still befinv them ; but a number of unfavourable circumstances — not the least being the uncertain revenue — makes me less hopeful in regard t(i it than a year ago. We are, therefore, imw proceeding with the work, which we will cirry forward as far as the money on hand will allow, hoping that by thr.t time more will l)e forthcoming. If we do not receive tin- Government help, we shall be more free to use the building in the future as the interest.- of the Missifin demand — a no small advantage. The work is the Master's, and He will secure for us what He sees to be needful for His glory. More we do not want. The site granted by H. H. Maharajah Holkar, is the very best possible for our work i.e. in my estimation; but the great depih of treacherous black olay soil, that must ne removed if security is sought for, makes building there very expensive. In June we hcijn' to push it on lapidly so as to have the first storey ready for occupation in September. During the year a simjde gymnasium has been built that already has proved a givnt boon to the students, especially to the ''Home boys."

Wliiist there lias been steady progress in the secidar study, even more attention h-is been paid to tlie direct Bible teaching. " Rock versus Sand," by Dr. Muiiro (Jib.*on, and the Book of Romans, first live chapters, have been reguhirly taught to th^: College ami High Scho'il classes, and the Gos|(el of Mark to tlu- lower '-liLsses. In 'lie recent exaiiiina tion the highest marks were olitained by a Hindoo, jiiid ii 'lie r,-ise of many it was a iiiosi Appendix No. 11. xlvii. (litticult matter to tell wliosliduld ubtiiin the first place as they all did sn well— some being able to repeat nearly the whole of the Gospel ofl' by heart. Twenty-two boys obtained bibles for obtaining more than fifty percent, of the possiblu marks. These we were able to give thmugh the generosity nf Mr. Milton, a Tahsildar of Sailana and one of our old iiiend)erB. Actual biiptis ivs from the school we cannot rejiort, but one of our old students wrote Hic as follows : 'it is through very shame that I did not call on you. I wasted my time ill useless pursuits instead of looking after truth, but praise be to God that since last night ■liy heart apiiears to have un liy a noisy brawler or excited religious enthusiast, must not lie despised, but atl'oid a far more ditHcult and unsatisfactory ticld of work than this. iSince there is such a loud cry for ^'ernac^.lar and Knglish .scliools liy tho.'*e who know we will teach the Bible as one of our principal text books, we must give more attention to tlie training of those who can do work satisfactorily. After our e.viierience here, where we li-ive succeeded in establishing otu' High Schr)ol in the face of two others — one sup- |i(iiteil by the Agent (iovernor-General and the other by ^T-.ivM'ajah Holkar — I feel con- \iiieed that if we give the education wanted, the Bilile ti i vj; will deter no one, or at least but few, from attending our schools. I have to confess that our N'ernacular schools liave not been a great success in the past, but this I am not surjirised at. Too many of niti' Christian teachers have been men of no e bci'ii received by the Presbytery as students of theology. Mr. Johory is a fluent speaker in Hindi, Bengali and flnglish, an M.A. of Calcutta University, and a earnest preacher of tliu Word. He has l)een Suiterintendent of our Camp Sabl)ath school, and has done good Work in the other schools and in the evangelistic work of the station. Mr. John is a native of Ceylon, and a graduate of the American Mission College there. His father is a native pastor in Jatlha, as was Johory 's in Bengal. Tamil is his native tongue, but he has already ac(iuired a very ready use of Hindi, and heartily uses it as he has opportunity. Both he and Mr. Johory have been a very great comfort ,incl help to me in tlje work in the year. The envelope system was introduced about a year ago, and the tithing system generally adopted. Liist year the congregation raised in all Rs. 844, 12. lit, of whicli thf natives gave Rs. :2!t5.1.4. Ten Sabbatli schmjls have been oirried on during the year by the members of tin- congregation in ditJ'erent centres in the city and villages around ; but of this work Mr. Russell will jirobably report, as he took special charge of it. The congregation undertook to support and send out to some needy centres tliret' missionaries. Two of these have done veiy good work, but the third found the respon- .')il)ility too nnicli for him, and had to lie removed. The dithculty of securing trained tefichers is a difficulty feh in tliis connection. The attempt to combine the duties of pastor, teacher and builder has not been as successful as I could wish. The retrospect is not all bright, but amidst the many uununi- ben .1 blessings and the knowledge that it is the work of Him who doeth all things well, stimuhttoa us to push forward into another year with hearts full of gratitude and confidence, even though the sky is not all clear and some clouds hang over the horizon. During the hot trying weather of April and May how anxiously we look for the forming clouds in earnest expectation of the Mf)nsoon, which, though it may in its first fierce outburst, destroy some jiet schemes and carefully cherished hopes, yet in the end brings refresliiiit; to tli«' dry, parched land, and causes all nature to rejoice. May the clouds burst in a rich spiritual blessing in this dry sin-cursed field. REPORT OF REV. J. F. CAMPBELL, RCTLAM.

When in Mai'ch, 1891, the weather became too hot for us to live longer in tents, Mrs. Buchanan took our little boy and went to Mhow.

After the rains we got started to build the long wished for and much needed bungalow, and when the cold weather again returned wo once more tocjk up our abode here in tents. The bungalow work has gone on sntisfao- torily. The fii'st storey is of stone and is very substantial. Though stone here, as else- where, is mucli more expensive than brick, still I liave pleasure to report that owing to two or three good opportunities I expect to put up the building for less than the cost of ,i brick one. We are having it larger than would be otherwise necessary, in order that Mrs. Buchanan may have a nice large room for a dispensary in the bungalow. Services have been held in the vernacular on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays in tlie mission school, and during the cold woiitlier we had an English service in our tents each Sunday. Preaching in the mohullas and in tlie villages has been carried on more or less regularly without any difticulties or interference by any persons. V.'ith five stations already opened up and only five men here to fdl them we have been compelled to give up the idea of going to the Bheels. Simdaij Svlioiil. — Practically all the [mpils of tlie whole school, Anglo-Vernacular, Middle and High Scliool, come regularly to the Sunday school. The course of study lias been the international lessons. Through the kindness of Mr. Fotheringham, Convener i if tiie Committee on Highev Religious Instruction, our students were allowed to appear fcir examination. Three appeared in English and three others in their vernacuLirs. Tlnvu of tlie Christian teachers also took the examination. When once, though late, the iilea got hold of them that they were really going to write on papers set for boys in Canada we had a splendid stimulus for work. The pupils of our school get up the daily Bible lessons as a regular task, but the Sunday sciiool lessons have always been much less carefully studied. The committee therefore have our sincerest thanks for giving us what is \m>\- ing to be an effectual lever in the accomplishment of these weekly lessons. Our head master has been interesting the .school in a little fellow in Ceylon, whose expenses at school are partly paid by our school. The boys bring their cowries and some of tlieia their jiice and though the whole giving in this direction is a trifle, still it is ime way i.f jiractically teaching Hindoos and Mahommedans that divine love which is broader than castes or tribes and nations. The ordinary school work has gone on much the same as last year. The school now includes all the grades from lowest form vernaculars .and English to the entrance examina- tion. Tiie names of two boys were .sent up for the entrance examination to the Calcutta University, ](ut one of them met with so serious a burning accident that he was not .ilile to write. The other was not successful. The result of the Coiincirs examination in Bible was as follows : — English— I. Jaishankar, of Ujjaiu. " II. Panna Lai Vernacular — I. Ka"aya, of Ujjain. II. Herbert III. Kareem Bux " J-. J ( Gangasa " ^^•\RainCliander" V. Nathaniel Solomon, of Neemuch. Gul Rij *• VI. Govind Prasad, of Ujjain. A number of these young men theoretically know the way of salvation, seem fully persuaded of the truth of Christianity, and, at times, almost persuaded to be CliiUtians, it Appendix No. 11. liii. The in-esoluto, iiffuctiuuate Hindoo tinds it esitecinlly ditHcult to take a btep that will cut him off from his relatives and friends. Hence Sutan fills their minds with, to them, very valid excuses, for not iwiv becoming out-and-out folhjwers of Jesus. One of them yester- day, after a somewhat extensive tour over India with an aged relative visiting Hindoo sacred shrines, told me that he found that " only ignorant jiersons visit these shrines." In August, 1890, Mr. McKelvie sent an orphan boy to us to be trained in our school, and also sent from friends of Mrs. Builder, money for his clothing, l)ooks, food, &c. The work then begun has almost unwittingly grown, and this year we have had as many as seven boya at a time. Their sui)i)ort, excei)t for teachers, which they enjoy in common with other boys, has not been charged to the mission. All of them are either orphans or are so poor as not to be able to get any help whatever from their homes. One of them was supported last year by die Kilgour Bros., of Toronto, and four of them to the end of December, 1S91, were supported by Mr. McKelvie and the Misses Stock bridge. Two l)Oor boys, the children of Hindoo parents, were taken in on the understanding tliat they could be biken out at any time the parents wished. The elder of the two, Gangadhar, a lad of about ten years, paid very noticeable attention to religious instruction, and declared himself to be a Christian. He was not baptized, but .shortly after, during the cholera epidemic, he took the disease. As with cholera patients generally his mind remained clear and active to the end. When his little body was racked by pain and cramps one of the native Christians told him not to be afraid. His sweet, trustful rejdy was, "No, I will not be afraid, Jesus is my friend." After a few hours illness, reconciled as we fully believe to God, he passed away to be forever with his new and tried Friend. The Medical IVork has been somewhat more interesting than in ft)rmer years. The house in which I was living has a number of rooms, and when some patients came that needed more cjireful treatment, we put them in there. As it was situated just beside the dispensary and school it was very convenient for the work. And though we did not dignify it with the name, hospital, still it has tilled to some extent the lack of a hospital. We had in it to end of February six patients. Some of these cases were very interesting. A young Brahmin, who has been more or less with usforthe hist two years, while engaged in his duty of night-watch at our tents, took suddeidy'ill with cholera. Many a talk I had had with him about Jesus the only Saviour, and he had told me in conversation that he did not any more worship idols, and said that he would be a Christian. His retpiest was that we, his Christian ministers for Christ's sake, should pray for him. As we prayed his voice joined with ours, and he asked pardon, mercy and blessing of Him who said to the dying thief upon the cross, " To-day shalt tho\i be with me in paradise." The same even- ing he died. While I have asked the Council for the permission fmm them to catients, of whom 411 were females. Ifi7 minor and 3 major operations were performed. woman's work. During the stay in tents last cold season Mrs. Buchanan gave as umcli time as she could to the work in IJjjain, and when in Marcli she went to live at Mhow .she took up the meiliciil work that had been carried on in a simple way for years by Miss Miiuiie Stockbridgo. The tirst two or three weeks the people did not come in hirge nundiers ; first, lii'causo they did not know the place ; and second, because they did not know the doctor. But after that she had more patients than she could well attend to. Miss Minnie Stock- Inidge's medical work had l)een chiefly among the people of the villages; and Mrs. liv. Appendix No. 11. Buchanan found among these simple folk an interesting and encouraging work. One part of our bungalow became so well known as the *' Mem suhib'H daiva khana" that the people persisted in cijuiing fur some time after all our medicines had been handed ovei to Dr. Whilelniina f raser hy order of Council in December. On one of my trips tcp Mhow I did an operation for cataract on a woman, which, as it was perhaps the tirst operation <>f any moment in connection with woman's work in Mhow, we were especi.illv glad was a complete success. The medical work in Ujjain has lieen carried <>n chiefly by Rachelbai. The registei suows the number of patients treated to be 2,124, and the number of treatments given 4,049. When tlie room set apart for dispensary in the new house is ready we liope it may be a centre of bodily and spiritual blessing to the timid villagers around Ujjain. The work in the girls' school has been fairly successful. Hattibai has been teaching' last half-year, and the attendance is about the same as formerly. A few of the girls still attend, and several read in the third book. Mrs. Buchanan has not been able to hink after it, and I have not visited it as often as I could wish. By the blessing of God I hope we may be able to report greater progress in the coming year. REPORT OF REV. W. ,1. JAMIBSON, NEEMUCH. In presenting my first year's report I have I'.itle to say regarding "results" excejit tliat I iiave been laid aside witli fever seven entii-e weeks since I came to Neenmcii, and still I survive. Tlie remainder of the time I spent studying Hindi and Urdu, visiting the scliools. bazaars, and surrounding villages with Mr. Wilson and the Christian workers. In these tours I had ample opportunity for noting the methods used in evangelistic work and fur .seeing the people in their sad condition. Since January I have endeavoured to fill Mr. Wilson's place in forwarding the work so well begun here, and have carried on the work on the old lines without much notice- able change. Tlie congregation formed before Mr. Wilson left with twenty members has continued to prosper without much change. Several have left the station but other now workera have joined. The Sabbath schools have somewhat increased in numbers, strict attention being piiitl to attendance tickets, with the promise of reward books for good lessons and higiiest average attendance. Tlie village school in Jawad, continues to improve under the care of catechist Mohamed Shaw, who seems to use his ingenuity in drawing the people ailmnd him. A niglit school has been started in his own house for the poor and outcasts with i good outlook at present. Burgu, a man baptized before Mr. Wilson left, whose instruction previous to his coming here proves to have fallen on good ground, is teaching in a village four miles from Neemuch. He preaches and reads the Word thrice weekly to those who gather about him, and two or tiiree times each week goes to villages two miles further out and carries the good news of what the L(>rd has done for him, and all this additional' to his sciiool work is of his own free will. His influence over his parents is already telling for good in their desire to be taught the "way to be a Christian." The medical work in old ff eemuch is interesting and hopeful, in stirring up opposition, and in already causing en(iiuirj- regarding the truth. I accompany the workers to the ])azaar twice weekly with the baja or baby organ, and with our combined force we kci'i' the rooms and street full of people of all classes, whose attention is fairly good for two hours, or so long as our voices last in song. Oh I for the gift of tongues and the power of the Spirit, is my constant breathing as I look upon tiiese masses of poor people who are like sheep without a shepherd, to whom in any limited knowledge of tire language I can say so litt'e as it should be said. Appendix No. 11. Iv. IvEPORT OF REV. NORMAN H. RUSSELL, MHOW. My firat report is hardly capable of fis great interest as I hope the subsefjuent one» may prove to be. My year of preparation was spent almost entirely in Indore, with occasional visits to most of the other stations. Though feeling it my first duty to cuncjuer the language, I did what little I could to help Mr. Wilkie with his many duties, and I may say I found the ft)rmer made much easier by my attempts at the latter. I spent three, and for a while four, hours a day in the College with a bright eager class of young Hindoos, men whom I have learned not only to admire bxit to esteem, and if my brief experience is worthy of consideration, it must be to add another testimony to the benefit to our cause fr(im such intellectual and religious contact with the more promising class of India's youth. Another work I was exceedingly interested in was that among the children of Indore city and neighbourhood. The little band of native workers at Indore are fully alive to the importance of this work, and are lending their aid to its fullest development. Before going on to speak of Mhow, I feel it not only my duty but a privilege to acknowledge the unremitted kindness of all the friends at Indore, and more juvrticularly of Mr. and Mrs. Wilkie, during my stay among them. Their consideration and thougiit- fulness made what is usually the most trying i)eriod of a missionary's experience a time of the greatest pleasure and profit. I was sorry to leave Indore for several reasons ; principally in that it left Mr. Wilkie with a burden of work one man cannot possibly overtake ; a matter however which I trust the Church will soon see its way to remedy. I was appointed to Mhow by resolution of the Council and Presbytery at their meet- ings in November, and took over charge in the beginning of December, and if it does not seem paradoxical after the foregoing statement I cannot but rejoice in the appointment and in the promise of nnich and fruitful work which the field affords. My co-workers here are Miss Ross and Dr. Whilelmina Fraser, and I think we all feel that in coming to Mhow we have come to ground well prepared for us. More particularly is this true of the girls' schools in Mhow, Pensionpura and Kisanpura, whose good standing and efliciency are no little credit to their former teachers. But I need write nothing about the work of the ladies, which will be fully reported on by themselves, except to say that the zeal with which each of them is developing her own sphere, though it augurs well for the work, will, I am afraid, be too great a strain on their powers of endurance, and I hope that next fall will see the way open to another lady worker being sent to help us in Mhow. My own special work is of three kinds — school, preaching, and congregational work. School Work. — The Bazaar School, with Harbhajan and Anand (the latter supported by West End Bible Class, Toronto) for teachers, I found in good condition. Its numbers have steadily increased since December, the roll now being seventy-five. The fact that the Parsees carry on a large school work in Mhow, backed by a heavy money grant from the cantonment, diminishes considerably our hopes of speedy development. However, as they do not teach the Bible nor in fact give any moral instruction, we cannot give up the fight to them. We have great hopes of our own school being a success ; by far the larger proportion of children in Mhow go to no school, and from these we hope to add considerably to our numbers. We have added to our forces a teacher in Marathi — Salaram. I also take the Bible class myself and examine the classes occasionally in other subjects. I aim to >)ring the school at present up to middle school standard, from which the step to high scliool will be comparatively easy. We have opened a new school in Guair Khera, a village about a mile from Mhow ; it js in charge of Walaji, and is at present very promising. The number on the roll is 25, all of whoni pay fees and buy their own books. They learn the Bible daily. On Sunday the school numbers at times 60 to 75. We have also opened a school among the poor Ivi. Appendix No. 11. people in Cochapum, a village on the other side of Mhow, with Raoji for teacher. The present attendance is 23. The people here eeeni quiet, eager to learn and very proud of their scliool. We have invitations from several of the larger villages around us to open schools, liut can do nothing at present for lack of teachers. We ho])e, however, soon to be able to supply the want, as we tind nothing gives us better standing in, or claim on, a village than the establishing of schools. Preaching. — There rre about 60 villages within a radius of eight miles of Mhow, to all of which «e are at present trying to give regular preaching. Raghu is the only worker who devotes his whole time to preaching. But he goes out faitlifully morning and even- ing to his round of villages. The rest of us, Bhagaji, Anand, Waliji, Salaram, Raoji and myself go out in the evenings. The people listen as a rule very faithfully, and are especi- ally fond of the hymns. A small organ for our work would pro^e of great service. We have also been out as freijuently as possible (generally twice in the week) with the magic lantern. This, the gift of two friends of St. James' Square Church, Toronto, is doing noble service. Large crowds, even to 200, will gather to see our pictures, and hear tlio Bible stories. We are, however, very much in need of some new slides illustratini,' Gospel scenes. We have not developed our work as yet beyond the eight mile radius. But a number of larger villages and cities beyond we hope to report on a year from now. Congregational Work. — Since my arrival the congregation has received no additions by baptism, though we have several enquirei-s. We meet twice in the week, Sunday afternoon and Thursday evening. The Sunday services I usually conduct myself. But for the Thursday evening prayer-meetings wo have drawn uj) a progrannne of subjects reaching over some two months to be taken up by the men in turn. The services are regularly attended by the Christians but not so well by outsiders, probably on account of our building being out of the regular line of native travel. The new site will however remedy this. Sunday School Work. — The whole congregation meets also on Sunday morning, in tlie school-house, for Sunday school. The attendance, princii)ally of children from our camp schools, is about 200. Bhagaji is superintendent. Besides the camp schools, we ha\e lately opened hve new Sunday schools in the surrounding villages ; these are well attended, (^uite beyond our expectations. Bible Study. — Besides my Bible class on Sunday morning, for all comers, I have n class five days during the week for the workers. Two days we study "Romans," two days a brief course in Theology and on Saturday the Sunday school lesson for Sunday. I find the classes a great pleasure. Prospective. — I can say but little by way of prospective. I have almost no plans. I try to follow the work rather than make it follow me. There is no doubt Hinduism is losing its hold ; but the masses seem very slow in facing the (piestion of a new religion. As ever the name of Christ is a stumbling block, hated and feared by the people of sin. But I have had a good many encouraging interviews with those who b*elievo in and love Him, though they lack the faith to face the dangers of acknowledging Him. We h.ive much to hope for from the coming generation, for India's children are familiar with tiie name of Jesus. The Lord hath given into our hands India. We can wait for the walls to fall. REPORT OP MIS,S ROSS, SIHOW. When I returned to Indore I went into the dirty, dusty city, and was warmly wel- comed by many an old friend. Appendix No. 11. Ivii. lut a nunilier I opened ii school, ami although the numlicr on tho roll soon roiichoil fifty-fivo it was difficult to induce half that nunibor to attend royularly. As tho hoat incroasod we found tho small i)laco we UMud as a school-room very uncomfortalilu. But wo feared that on leaving it the owner, because of tho loss of the rent, would tell tho children not to come to our school again. Thoy have much power over each other in that way. Fortunately for me I got so ill one day w'.th the heat that I had to close school and gr home. Tho people then sivid, No, I ccjuld not teach there, and cheerfully allowed me co go to bettor (|uarter8 which I had just secured. We began work here on the first o. December. I am very glad to be associated with Dr. Fraser, whose zeal and energy is an inspiration. The Misses Stockbridge have done nobly, and the fruit of their labours is seen in many ways. They have opened three hundred houses in Mhow and the surrounding villages. I have charge of three schools. In the one in Mhow there is a daily attendance of one hundred and forty. In Pensionpura thirty-five, and Kisanpura seventeen. In the large school English, Gujerati, Marathi and Hindi are taught. This is necessary as tho ciiildren wish to learn to read in their mother tongue. Dr. Fraser has in addition to her medical work taken charge of the senior English division, which is a great relief to me, as tho vernacular classes require so much attention. I have paid over seventy visits since we came here, and we have gone together in the ev'jnings to several villages with medicine for the sick and news of eternal salvation thrf)Ugh Jesus Christ. But alas I many are slow to hear and slow to think of the priceless viiluo of eternal life. We were delighted to welcome Miss McWilliams and Dr. O'Hara. RBPOUT OF MISS FUASER, M.l)., MHOW. At the meeting of Council held in Neenuich, November 10th, I was appointed to Mhow. I moved here about the first of December. \b I had to secure quarters for my dispensary, and have the house made ready for my work, I was not able to open it until December 13th. Since that date the number of patients has steadily increased. The number for the tirst six days being 77, that for the last six being 210. For the dispensjiry work I have a native woman, whom I am training lis medical assistant. She is bright and intelligent and will soon be very useful. I emphiy two Bible-women, who after singing and reading with the patients in the morning, visit frt)m house to house giving instruction. They report on the week's work ovury Saturday, tho number of visits required from them each week being twenty. The senior English department in the Camp School is in my charge. There I have a valuable assisfcmt, and only teach two and a half hours daily myself. The scholars are Parseea, Portuguese and a few English. We foar that ere this year is out we may lose many of our brightest scholars, for the Portuguese are Roman Catholics, and Father Pius, their priest, is about to open a convent, and no doubt he will gather in his stray himbs. The eight months previous to my appointment I spent in Indore studying tho language. I cannot speak too highly of the kindness of the missionaries there, nor of the valuable help I received from Miss Oliver, who took nuich pains to give me an insight into medical work in India. The Indore Mission Hospital atlords every facility for enabling the new ciimer to get a clear view of the diseases common to this land and also for learning tho vernacular terms used for diseases among tho women, of which you can glean little or no idea from books. I have offer been asked in Mhow, and even in the remote villages surrounding the city, if I came from the "Doctor Miss Sahibs"' at Indore, and when I was able to say " yes," I found an open road to tho hearts of the people, showing how Iviii. Appendix No. 11. widely siireiid iiud how much vnliied is thu grand work duno by our iiiedicnl Indiea in tla> past few years. The liinguiige is not at nil ditticult, and no one need feel anxious at the prospect of having to learn it. It was with feelings of joy that we welooniod Dr. O'Hara and Miss McWillianis. VVu long for the day when you can send two such missionaries to Mhow. We cannot grudyc them to Indore, knowing as ho do the great need there, but when you can send some um: to ua.

Medical Missio)!, Report, Last year, at the time of writing our annual report, we were watching the walls nf the new hospital building growing daily higher ; now we have been eight months at wiak in it. There was no formal opening, chietly because Miss Beatty, through ill health, was compelled to go on furlough just as the hospital, for which she had so long waited unci ])rayed, was nearing completion. Miss McKellartook her place and has been my faithful yoke-fellow throughout the year. We celebrated Dominion Day by beginning work hi the new building. Very soon we had three of our five wards full, and as one patient goes out there is another pi m >r sufferer ready to take her place. During the i)ast eight months we have had in all 110 [mtients. What gain is the hospital to us? The physician in India, whose eifoits are often rendered useless by even the most intelligent patients treated in their own homes, is at no less for an answer to this question. The faithful servant of Christ cun even more readly make reply, " Great gain." How could we have a better opportunity t those who were too ill to come to us. The outlying villages, in which we were able to do a good deal of visiting last year, have been sadly neglected this jrear. We have, however, made a fresh start lately, and hope to be able to continue Appendix No, 11. lix. regulur visits. We rogret much hiiving co let work once begun drop, but believe that the opportvuiities given iw in the hoHpitalave those which should receive our first attention. Our stuff of hel])orn is small, but wo are fortunate in those wo have. We began the year with a class of two Christian girls to be trained in compounding, nursing, and the treatment of ordinary diseases. One of the two yiekled to a strtmger attraction, and in August became the wife of one of our Cliristian young men. The other, Janebai, is with us and is making very satisfactory progress. We have no hospital matron, but Susanbai, tlie wifo of a native Cliristian, who holds a good position under one of our Central India princes, has for the past five montlis undertaken the matron's duties. We are pleased to be able to report that all the money for the cots, bedding and other furnishings recjuired in the hospital has been raised here chiefly by small contribu- tions of ten or fifteen rupees from the husbands of some of our grateful patients. Rs. 347 of the money thus raised wont towards tlie furnishings. Tlie remaining Rs. 200 »e handed over to Mr. Wilkio to lielp in the sinking of a well on the hospital compound. Some months ago, Gandihil, one of our Indore merchants, gave Rs. 600 for the support of a charity cot, and a few weeks ago, Nanak Chand, another resident of Indore, sent Rs, 200 to be used in the same way. We would also take this opportunity of thanking the friends at iiome wlio sent us such an abundant supply of comfortable (juilts and flannel jackets for use in the hospital. Throughout the year we had : — Attctulances of out-patients 18,884 In-patients 171 Patients visited in their homes 23'.* Number of visits made 1,'Ml Ri. a. p.

Boarding School Eeport, 1892. Having been temporarily appointed by the Mission Council to carry on the work in the stead of Miss Harris, it becomes my duty to write the annual report. The girls were then in Neemuch in the rented building where Miss Harris had carried on the work. I went up to Neemuch and a week later moved the school down to Indore. There are at present fourteen (14) girls in the school. Of these, two belong to Rutlam, six to Mhow and six to Indore. The day's programme is as follows : — In the morning the girls roll up their bedding according to native fashio» A^eep the dormitories, school-room and verandahs, scour their brass plate and cup ; from eight to a (juartor to nine I have prayers and a Bible lesson with the children. At nine they eat their morning meal. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the classes are held — one of the teachers from the Mission High School giving me two hours' help daily. After fifteen minutes recess we have an hour's sewing. From four to five is study hour. At five they eat the second and largest meal of the day, and after that are free for play. At seven we have evening prayers. There is a woman-cook ; but the girls take their turn at helping her. They also make the most of their own clothes, which consist of a skirt and jacket with the <;haddar to be worn over the head when they go out. They look veiy nice when they go to churcli ; there are print skirts of many colours, but all the chaddars are white. Ix. Appkkdix No. 11.

We must look to this school for our future workers, and they will bo, too, the wome.i of our Native Christian Church. The friends at home cannot too fully syinpatliise with it nor too freely sujiport it. OIKUI SCHOOL, INliOHE CITY. In t;eneral the year just past has boon like any other, but still it has had its own little ups and downs and bright days. The attendance has been very regular throughout the whole year, which in most important in work among the children. They are so apt to come a few days or weeks, and if not at once promoted, or if a doll in not forthcoming, they slip away before one has time to win them. The great majority of the people are i)roud to have their children taught to read, and very often young lads come to school to ask me to take thoir little sisters in. This in itself is a most hopeful sign, and surely it is not a small matter tliat we nearly a hundred children under the intluences of the Gospel, and regularly li'ught six days out of the week during a period of their lives when there are no deep-seated prejudices to uproot. From the time Miss Rodger went homo I kept her school open, but having no satisfactory teacher to put into it, thought it best to close it in September. While tiiking a holiday in South India in October last I visited many of the tinest girls' schools in this country, and came home with many new ideas. Press of work, however, has prevented me carrying out much that I had hoped to do. The yei.' 's zenana work has not amounted to much. In the hot season when the city school was closed, I visited in several houses in the camp. Throughout the cold season I have been ctilled again and again to houses in the city, but much to my regret have been quite unable to overtake this work. Since Miss Ross' appointment to Mhow the Hindi girls' school in the city has been kept open by Mrs. VVilkie. In connection with this school also there is a Sunday school. We need helpers, and much of the work that waits to be done can be best done by trained native agents. RBPOHT OF MISS A. JA.MIESON, MKEMUCH. Although my work was interrupted at the beginning of the cold season, yet I can gratefully report fair progress in the schools, and the opening of many more zenanas. I regret having been unable to resume work among the low caste people where I had so much encouragement last year. But with teaclihig in two schools and zenana visitiiii,', T found it impossible to do so. Until girls' schools have been some years established among these conservative people, and while native helpers are untried, the lady missioniiry ro{(uires to do most of the teaching herself. During the yoa»' thirty-tivo families have been visited, some of them twice a week and others less regularly. Since the first of January last twelve new houses have opened their d(jor8 to us, among these the house of the Suba of Neemuch city. Wo have ten pupils learning to read, six are cooing fancy work. In every hcjuso the Bible is taught. At New Vear I received fioni the ladies of Chalmers' Church, Quebec, a box of exceedingly useful articles for distribution among my pupils. I was able to give Mrs. Wilson what she retiuired for the native Christians and her school girls, and there remains abundance for next " Bara Din." I most heartily thank the kind friends who in addition to sending a share to the W. F. M. S. have so generously supjilied me. Appendix No. II, Ixi. VI.— MISSION TO THE .TEWS IN PALESTINE. In the report of the Foreign Mission Gonnuittee Hubiiiittud to the lastGunernl Ahsuui- bly, the Committee reuoniinended the Gunonil AHHenibly to talio immediate action to CHtJiblish a misHion to the Juws in Pith'stine. The Connnitteo was authorized to sehtct and commission one medical missionary, leaving thu preciHu location and thu relation of the minsion to those already in the field to bo determined by the Connnitteo after further correspondence. In view of this resolution of the AHHonibly, tiio Committee, at ii mueting held on the loth of September of last year, called to tlie work Chas. A. VVebstor. B.A., M.D., a graduate of Knox College — at that time practising his medical pro- fession in the Sanatorium in Dansville, N.Y. On the call being communicated to Dr. Webster, he intimated his acceptance of it, but re(|uustod the Conuiiittee to permit him to continue in his position in the Sanatorium until .Juno of this year. This rei[uest was complied with by the Connuittee, as liis ol)jeet in making it was that he might tliereby be better fitted to serve the Church in the work to which he liud been called. Your Committee believe that in Dr. Webster the Cinnch has secured for tlie opening of this interesting mission to the ancient people of God, in their own land, a missionary well adapted for thu work. Dr. Webster, in writing to the Convenor in regard to his appointment, says : — "I sincerely thank the Committee for this great honour of being asked to heal the sick and preach theCJospel of the Kingdom in Palestine ; and I sincerely thank them, ag in, for their great kindness in allowing mo these extra months of prepar- ation for such a great work." Entering on the work in tliis spirit, the Church has reason to look forward with hope to the labours of her missionary in this new field. At the same time we know that the Jews are perhaps the least accessible of any people to the religion of Jesus of Nazareth. Even unto this day the vail is upon their heart, and there- fore this mission should, in a special manner, be the subject of the earnest prayers of the Church. The Committee deeming it wise in establishing a new mission to send out a colleague with Dr. Webster, have under consideration the appointment of another missiimary to accompany him to his field of labour. VII.— MISSION TO THE CHINESE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. In regard to thii mission the General Assembly of last year granted leave to the Com- mittee to continue its enquiry for a suitable agent for this field, and for information regarding the place at which it would be best for the missionary to begin operations. The Committee in accordance with this resolution of Assembly prosecuted the enquiry for a missionary adapted for the work contemplated by the Church. After full consideration it was determined to call to this work the Rev. A. B. Winchester, of Berlin, Ont. This proposal was cordially received by the Presbytery of Victoria, with which communication was held on the subject, and in the month of December a call was addressed to Mr. Winchester through the Presbytery of Guelph, asking him to undertake this mission. This call was accepted by him and he was formally designated to this work by that Pres- bytery on the 28th of March. Mr. Winchester, with his family, has arrived in Victoria. Ixii. Appendix No. 11.

Many and serious difliculties att^ich to the work among the Chineae in the mountains. They are found in small companies of from ten to sixty in railway, mining and lumbt-r camps, and in the towns and villages in amaller groupa of three to twelve. Then, ton, they are continually moving from place to place, either voluntarily or under direction of their agent, who, if hostile to mission work, may take this means of breaking up a school, or nucleus of those interested in the study of Christianity. More than thia, the Chinese are exceedingly auspicious of Canadians, a result of the persecution by individuals, and of a narrow, shcirt-sighted, reactionary Governmental policy ; further, there is to be over- come the eager thirst for money which afflicts the Chinese perhaps to a greater degree than Canadians, though in generosity, when gratitude is aroused, none can surpa.ss these heathen. Add to this, the difficulty of language, of total lack of organization, and of all appliances for mission work, and some of the opposing forces may be imagined. The work of the missionary was largely that of searching out and organizing, dis- tributing literature and establishing schools at different points. In this work our untiring missionary, Mr. Thos. Paton, regularly visited seven preaching points, coming into con- si s Appkndix No. II, IXIIK ttiot at thuBu poiiitM witli ubitut MSO ChiiicHO.

MISCELLANEOUS. A memorial from tho Woman's Foreign Missionary Society was presented to your Committee, requesting them to ttike such stops as they deemed advisivble to aid in the suppression of tho traffic at present openly carried on between China and British Columbia in C -inese girls, who are brought to this country for immoral purposes. Your Committee informed the Boai'd of their entire sympathy with them in the desire to have this infamous traflic put an end to, and further that they would bring the matter under the notice of the General Assembly with a view to eliciting an expression of opinion on the subject. Your Committee have therefore given this question a place in the report now submitted, with the hope that such a deliverance may bo arrived at as will strengthen the hands of those who are labouring for the overthrow of this great evil. It is a form of slavery which a Christian people should not tolerate within their borders, and which the Churches of the land should unite against until the evil is overcome, and the reproach which it brings upon our country and our religion taken away. Ixiv. Appendix No. 11. OVERTURES FROM INDORE PHKSBYTERY ON UNION OP PRESBYTRRIAN CHURCHES IN INDIA, ANB ON LICENSING OF CANDIDATES FOR THE MINISTRY. These overtures were laid before the General Assembly in 1890, and were remitted by it to the Foreign Mission Committee. The overture on union was remitted with tlie instruction to consider it carefully, advise with the brethren in India as circumstances may seem to require, and to leport to the next Assembly. The action here enjoined \v,us taken by your Committee. They communicated with the Presbytery of Indole on tlu' subject, but no answer has as yet been received to their connnunication from that Pres- bytery. In regard to the overture on the licensing of candidates, it was remitted to the Foreign Mission Committee "to tjike such action as in their opinion may be reciuired." The Committee ajiproved generally of the scheme for the licensing of candidates for tlio ministry, and communicated their judgment to the Presbytery of Indore. But, as in tlu' case of the overture on union, no furtlier commu.iication has been received from tliiit Presbytery. This action taken in regard to these overtures was not reported to tlu' Assembly last year. THE SUPPRESSION OF THE OPH'M TRAFFIC IN INDIA. Another memorial was submitted to your Committee from tiie Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, praying the co-operation of the Committee in the cilort being nnuii' by the Churches in Britain and in other lands, for the suppression of the opium tratlic m India. Your Committee agreed to recommend th.at the General Assembly adopt u deliverance on the subject. The traffic in opium, which is cari'ied on very oxtensivuJy in India, is encouraged by the Government for revenue purposes. The increasing indulg- ence in the use of the drug, on the part of the people, is accompanied with the greatest evils, physical and moral. A widespread agitation has been aroused, in consequence, f(ir the diminution or abolition of the traffic altogether. Petitions are being sent in to the Government praying for this. The protest which is being made against the evil is beginning to be heard, and the Assembly will no doubt unite with other Christian bodies in seeking the suppression of a traffic which is so destructive to the physical and moral well-being of our fellow subjects in India, as well as so groat an obstacle to the progress of the Gospel in that land. THANKS TO MR. .T. T. MoRTON. The following resijution was adopted by the Foreign Mission Committee, expressiiiL' their acknowledgment of the generous contributions made to the missitm work of oiii Church in China by Mr. J. T. Morton, also of his sympathy witii our work, as shown by him in his gift of books to our missionaries, and his willingness to aid them with any ser\ ice in his power while passing through London on their way to India or China : " The Foreign Mission Committee of the Presljyterian Church in Canada hereby tender tn J. T.

"But," to ([uote the liini^uage of the Foreign Secretary's report, " whether it has-been the light or the shadow, rhe hand of (Jod, we are sure, has led us in the right way." The character of the various ri'ixirts is fitted to call forth the gratitude of the Churcli, and to encourage the devoted iiienihers of the Society to prosecute their work with renewed energy an^l faith. This Society now exerts an influence that is felt throughout the whole Church both at home and abren. He reports having visited over COO families, and estimates the Jewish population of the city at about f Divine truth, and his desire regarding future work. The Committee were satisfied with his answers and, in view of these facts, the Com- mittee desire to call the attention of the General Assembly to an agent of an niucli promise, and express the hope that such directions may be givin by the Supreme Couit as will encourage Mr. New.nark to continue, in the meantime, his labours in Montreal, and to prosecute, for a seascm, his studies in the Presljyterian College, Montreal, witii a view to his being ultnnately employed in work among his own countrymen, in such field as the Providence of God may indicate, when the proper time has arrived. The Committee would also re([ueHt the (Jeneral Assembly to appoint trustees to whom may be conveyed property already purchased for the use of tlie Committee at Alberni, and all other property that it may hereafter be found necessary to purchase in British Columbia in order ttt carry on eflectively the Connnittee's work among the Indians and Chinese in that Province.

Ferguson, have gone to their rest and reward, which leaves 73 on the roll, exclunive of the Rev. R. Rogers, who is entitled to be put on again when he gives up regular ministerial work.f Partial payments only have been made in the two following cases : Rev. W. M. Christie and Kev. Thus. Goldsmith. In the former case, Mr. Christie was engaged in active service in connection with the Home Mission Committee for six months, and only one-half year's annuity was paid to him. In Mr. Goh'.smith's case the Committee became aware that he had taken charge of St. Gabriel's Church, Montreal, during the absence of I)i. Campbell, and had also taken charge of St. Andrew's Church, Toronto, for a period of six months during the absence of Mr. Macdonuell, for which he had received stated remuneration, and they withheld the November half-year's annuity. It is perhaps proper to report that Mr, Goldsmith made complaint of the Committee's action to the Toronto Presbytery, and that a memorial handed in by him is being forwarded to the Assembly by that Presbytery. Your Convener appeared by request before the Presbytery and gave reasons. As the matter will likely come up for discussion on the Memorial, it need not be further dealt with in this Report. The Committee has been making investigation to see to what extent the ministers in the Western Section were connected with the Fund. This led to some rather curious facts beint' discov- * This includes an overpayment which will be deducted from next half-yearly annuity. t Since this was written information of the death of Rev, Thos. Lowry has been received. iKiiU • • • 111. Al'PKNDIX No. 12. ered. There are in the Western Section 702 iiiinisterg. Of theae, 'M2 appear to be payiiiR rates nime or less regularly, and 3151 are not connected at all. In other words nearly one-half of the minister- are not connected, and as a natural consequence will not, with a tew exceptions, take much interest in the Fund. This fact explains why the ordinary fund is year after year behind, and why it is sn ditiicult to raise the endowment. The investigation led to a further discovery, namely, that of the ;J(52 paying rates more or less regularly, 188 are in arroar, some for one year and others for more, running up to ten. The Committee is of opinion that a more complete system of registration and record shoulil be kept, so that arrearages may be at once detected and prevented. ENDOWMENT FUND. The Rev. Wm. Hums has continued to give his earnest attention to the ?]ndowment, and at tlie same time lias availed himself of every opportunity to press for a more generous HU|)pi)rt of the Ordinary Fund. ' 'oiisiderable progress has been made in connection with the Endowment, thougli not as much as the Committee had hoped for and anticipated. This has no doubt arisen in part from the depressed co.ndition of business and the extreme tightness of nxmey. The Agent finds himself somewhat hampered by the appeals being again made on behalf of some of the Colleges. The Committee thinks that the Assembly would not err if it emphasized the prior claims of the Endowment for the Aged and Infirm Ministers. The order to raise the Fund was the act of the Assembly, first at Winnipeg and then at Halifax ; besides the Colleges have previously appealed to the Church and obtained a very considerable p]ndowment. Your Committee does not make this suggestion from any unfriendly feeling to the Colleges but as an act of simple justice to the fund it has been instructecl to raise. The Agent has visited and addressed on behalf of the Fund the three Synodb of Montreal and Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston, and Hamilton and London. These have promised co-operation, The first mentioned appointed a Committee to co-operate with the Agent, and the other twn will aid tiirough the Presbyteries. He has also visited some of the Presbyteries and endeavoured to get them to e charged to Revenue, and it is recommended that the uccounts be readjusted and Capital .Vccount credited with the full payments made on account of it, and tlio revenue be made to bear tile charges. The following shows how the Endowment stands at the date of this Report : — Subscriptions and Bequests .S104,%.'> 44 Add amount of capital prior to the new movement l.^OoO 00 Total .5120,015 44 The sum of .'572,200.88 has been paid in under the new effort. In the matter of the Remit to the Synod of the Maritime Province.? anent the Rules, the Coiii- luittee herewith transmits the Extract Minute of that Synod, from which it appears the Syno't awaits the further information asked for by the Assembly from the Committee of the Western Section. The Effkct ok thb Chanok krom the Pkrckntagb Pl. n to thk Fixbd Scale ok Paymknts VNDEU THK AmEN'DEI) RuLES. The obtaining of the information necessary to comply with the direction of the last Assembly has involved a very large amount of labour. Each minister connecteii with the Fund has been communicated with and very valuable statistics obtained, which will be useful for future refer- ence. M2 ministers were communicated with and fully 300 replies received, and we have now entered uii in a book the name, residence, date of ordination, or, if ordained elsewhere than in Canaila, the date of induction into a Canadian charge, and the age at that time. These facts ha\>' enabled the Committee to fix with a large degree of accuracy the effect of the new rule substitutiiu' the Jijced sum for the percentage. The following will indicate the effect of the change. It nnnt be remembered, however, that being bulk ratios the figures will not convey a perfectly accuiRti- result as to individuals. The results are given by Synods. SYNOD OF MO.NTKKAL AND OTTAWA. The change will call for an increase of 20% or 68 cents per minister. BYNOU OF TOKONTO AND KINGSTON. The change will call for an increase of 3.5% or $1,40 cents per minister. SYNOD OF HAMILTON AND LONDON. The change will call for an incre:»se of 3,")% or J?!. 40 per minister.

R'CPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE AGED AND INFIRM MINISTERS' FUND (EASTERN SEC- TION) FOR THE YEAR ENDING APRIL 30TH, 1892, The Comniitti e of the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund, for the Eastern Section of tlie Ch\iixh. has to report as follows :— KKCBIPTS.

McKay be granted, and also that Mr. McC^uarrie's api)lication, with accomiianying document, be transmitted to the General Assembly for special consideration, with the recommendation that his leciuest be f;ranted, and that he receive an annuity of one hundred dollars from May 1st, which is, in the judg- ment of the Committee, a fair proportion .'■.r his years of ministerial service in this. Church. The Committee has also received an application from the Presbytery of Halifax, on behalf of 1!ev. 11. F. Burns, D.D., asking that he he permitted to retire from the active duties of the ministry, and that his name be retained on the Roll of Presbytery as Pastor Emeritus of Fort Massy Church, Halifax . This application was accompanied with a message from Dr. Burns to the effect that as he was nut pers(mally connected with the Fund he declined to participate in its benefits. The Committee deems it worthy of notice that the congregation (Fort Massy), to which Dr. Burns ministered so faithfully for the last seventeen years, has guaranteed to him a retiring allow- iince of ijioOO per annum during his lifetime, and it recommends that the Presbytery's application on his behalf be granted. The Rev. Andrew Burrows, D.I)., makes application through the Committee to have his name restored to the list of rate-contributors, so as to participate in the benefits of the Fund. The Com- mittee recommend that his application be granted on condition that he comply with the terms of tlie fifth Regulation. The proposed changes in tiie Regul.ations of the Fund have been considered by the Committee since the last meeting of the Assembly, but witiiout any definite residts.

Your (Joinmittee would presont the followinj,' »,'enerivl snnimiiry of their work during the year: — For the first iinartor there were the names of IM prohationern who had placed themselves at the disposal of the Coinmittee. Of the 25 I'reshvteriea embraced in the three Synods covered by its operations, 10 reported 3(1 vacancies for supply, leaving !» Presbyteries that made no report. In t-he second miarter there were '1'6 probationers, ll Presbyteries made no report, and only 14 asked m pply for ;U vacancies. Fov the third quarter there were 18 probationers, and 23 vacancies were reported by 12 Presljy. teries mr supply, so that 13 Presbyteries were not heard from. For the last (juartor still current, !( Presbyteries ilid not report, and 10 asked for 8ui)ply for 34 vacancies, for which only 13 probationers were availal)le, so that the Committee could not fully meet the iu>plications made. In each of the (piarters some of the Presbyteries reriuested full supply, others only partial. Altogether there were the names of 34 i)r(ibati(mers on the roll, and of 87 vacancies. In these vacancies 44 settlements have taken place, as shown in Appendix I. Of the 34 proliationers, 12 have been settled, as appears in Appendix II, but the Committee are certain of the settlement of 2 more, although they have not been able to trace them. For the quarter not yet expired 13 names were on the roll, but one of the number has obtained a settled charge, thus leaving only 12 actually in the field at this date. Of the others your Committee need not make a detailed stateuient. Some have been dropped fri)m_ irregularities in fulfilling their ai)pointments ; one, it is reported, has gone to the United States ; thti time of another hail expired ; and so for one cause or another names have been removed, reducing the nu. iber as already given. In some instances your Committee were under the necessity of declining, "or holdinp^ in abeyance, naiues certified by Presbyteries im the ground that these did not report their vacancies. From the following table the (ieneral Assembly will at .mce see how far Presbyteries have complied with the injunction it issued, and in which it was followed by at least two of the .Synods in the territory covered by the operaticms of your Committee, to report their vacancies for full or partial supply. It will be seen that three have made no report during the year. Some have reported vacancies without taking supply in the first quarter and made no report for the other fiuarter?. liut reference to the table which is now givenwill render further details unnecessary.

Your Committee must acknowledge that they felt such conduct to be the oppoHite of encouia^,'- ing them in their work, and anything but fitted to inspire them with respect for those whocimld render such disloyal treatment to Superior Courts— both Synods and General Assembly. They did not, however, feel themselves warranted to throw up the trust committed to them. The perioil fur which they were to act has now e.\pired, and they would conclude their Report by expressing giiiti- tude to God for the measure of service they have been enabled to render to His cause, so fai- us entrusted to the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and their liope [>• that this Assembly will be li>il wisely to consider the returns made by Presbyteries to tiie remits sent down last year on a Kclieiue for the Distribution of Probationers, and to such a decision and arrangement as will secure order anil prosperity to the Church in this department of her vork, and the best interests of both probatimieri' and vacancies. All of which is respectfully submitted. Kt.PH, IStk Map, IS9S.

Itegnrdiug tlie Prohibition I'otition Movement which had not been nompleted when the lAHt ABHombly mot. Afl thin movement has become a factor in the biNtory of the straggle tor Prohibition in Canada wu give a brief statemont of the main fact? onnuurning it. The AsHembly that met in Halifax in I88ti " iustruoteil " its Committee on Temperance " to take all proper measures to secure the co-operation of the other Churches of the Dominion with a viuw of petitioning the Dominion Uovernmeut in favour of entire prohibition at the earliest possible date, and, such co-operation having been secured, to prepare forms of petition to be signed by our people." The Ileport presented to the Assembly in Toronto, in 1889, states that steps had been taken to carry out these instructions, but it does not mention any results. It was then resolved, "That the Committee bo again authorized to carry out, as soon as practicable, the instructions of last Assumbly, as to petitioning the Dominion Purliament." > After much correspondence, the fuHt stop towards practical work was taken in April, 1890, when, having secured the hearty co-operatiou of the Committee on Temperance of the Methodist Church of Canada, a joint letter, siKued by the Assembly's Convener, and by Itev, D. L. Lirethour, representing the Methodist Church, was addressed to a large number of ditTerent church courts, explaining the object desired, making sundry suggestions for their consideration, and asking their oo-uperation in the work to be undertaken. Two almost immediate results were the dis- cussion of the matter by many of the church courts in many centres of population, and much notice of the movement by tim press generally. The steps that had been taken were fully reported to the Assembly at Ottawa, in 1890, wliou it WAS resolved, "That this Assembly approve^* of the action taken, and hereby authorizes the Committee on Temperance fur 1890 to continue the negotiations thus entered into with other Churches, and if the results warrant it, to liavo petitions presented to the Parliament of ls91, or as soon thereafter as practicable." The results did warrant it, and in the early part of winter forms ci petitions, with helpful directions and ruggestions, were distributed in large numbers to about seventeen or eighteen diOereut religious bodies. The various Tem|ieranco Societies were also asked to help, and, a little later, they were furnished with forms of petitions to supplement those of the Churches where neoe-:iary. 'I'he work was taken up with a good deal of enthusiasm, and was making very satisfactory progress, when it was very seriously chocked by the dissolution of Parliament in February. After the elections in March the work was resumed, but the loss caused by the interuption was preat. The result.s, however, under all the circumstances, were gratifying. The petitions were ttie most uumorously signed that had ever lioeu presunted to auy Canadian Parliament, and they made a marked impre^fsiou on both the Parliament and the Govoramont. A large and repre- sentative delegation olso waited on the Governiiiont aud uige.l the prayer of the petitious. At this stage the Assembly, which met at Kiugston in 1h!)1, expressed gratifioation " at the largo numbers of siguaturHS obtained throui'liout the country to the petitions for Proliibition oirenlatod by authority of the last Assembly, ii- co-operation with other Churches, and nuthorizeR its Committee on Temperance to continue to eo-oporale with other Churches in sucU ways as may bo found expedient to keep up tiie acitatiiiu for Prohibition bo;;uL in connection with the Petition movement," The whole cos-t was Si^,'^•l.27, all of which lias been paid. A statement of accounto is appended to this Report. The amount of time and labour given freely was very large, and the gratuitous a.'isistanco so readily alIord':d by tho Prys.^ j-euorally was of much value, aud is grtitefuUy acknowledged. VV. It have we received for all this labour and expense ? The agitation itself did good. The united action of the Churches, and the opening of the way for more complete co-operation in the 11. Appkndix No. I.N. future, are of no littlo importance. Our rulern Iiavo Loea leJ to give more Beriouci uttention Id the demand for Prohibition, and the Governmont to adopt a deiiuito liao of action, the practiuitl outcome being the appointment of a Royal Commission of Enquiry coneorniug the liquor tratlic. Though very far short of what was aakod, yet it in a most important move ; and if the Rtii|uiry be at all fair, and the Temperance people give it all possible assistance, and then follow it ui> vigo,-. aunty, it cannot but be productive of real good, and a recent discussion in Parliament seems ti- justify this hope. Bev. John F. Hill, Corresponding Secretary of the " Permanent Committee on Temperance of the Presbyterian Church iu U.S.A.," in writing to your Convener, says : '■ \Vn congratulate yon on the manifest progress you are making towards the nbulJFihment of the iniqui- tous trallio in nrdeut spirits. The appointrn'snt by your Government of a ' Commi.ssiou of Enquiry concerning the Liquor Trallio ' is a most important step iu the right liirection. Iu oiu couLtry this has ''oen earnestly sought for by the friends of Temperance for twenty year.*. It has been passed by the Senate several times, but was as often defeated iu the Lower House of Congrus."." In continuing to prens the question of Prohibition upon the Parliament and Govom- ment, we are only doing what it is the right and duty of every citizen and of every Church - preseing them to fulfil one of the first and most important functions for which they exi.'^- lation and enforcing it, the attention of many has been drawn away from that department of the work commonly called " Moral Suasion." We do not need any less of the one but more of the other. And the proposed plan of organization under the control and direction of the Church, provides a simple way of carrying on the educative work that is yet so necessary. Two of the five reasons given by the Hon. Mr. Foster why the Government will not now comply with the prayer of our petitions — and they are the only ones with which wo have to Jo - are the "desire for intoxicants, the desire for stimulants which exists in a great proportion of the people," and " the power of custom." "These," he says, "will have to be reformed aiul overcome before the principle of prohibition is practically realized." These are the real obstacles in the way. 'i'hey may not be as formidable as he aeoms to think, yet there they are, and all that is possible should be done to remove them. To do ho it in necessary to persistently inculcate the principle of Total Abstinence. Let all the youth and children of our laud be faithfully trained to be total abstainers, and it is easy to see that hoth the " desire for stimulants " and the " power of custom "' must soon disappear, and wlum thesi .-iliall have been overcome, all other objtutions will beof little force. It in with the hope of euabliu .' our Church to takeu more active part in raising up a geueration of Total Abstainers, filled witii the Spirit of the Gospel, that will be able, if we fail in the meantime, to secure and to euforco k prohibitory law, tu.it we now submit the following :— PLAN OF ORU.^NIZATION FOR MOBB EFPKCTIVK TBMP8HANC1!

During the last three years, of which your Convener can speak from personal knowledge, there has been, on the whole, a steaiiy and encouraging increase of interest in, and attention given to, the woric of supplying information by means of Reports. The number of Sessions that have attended to this duty has steadily increased. In the Presbyteries of Pictou, Saugeeu, Lindsay, and Whitby all the SessimLs reported. Only one was lacking in each of the Presbyteries of Guelpb auJ Maitlaud, ouly two each in Winnipeg, Truro, and Toronto, three in several others, and in Brockville " nearly all '' reported. Others, such as Montreal and Sarnia, say that there is an improvement. The total number of Sessions that r--ported was a little over tiOO. All the Presbyteries in the Dominiou, excepting Hock Lake, reported, the most of them witu more than usual fulness and care. Reports were also received from the Synods of Hamilton and Loudon, Toronto and King- ston, and Montreal and Ottawa. The other Synods do not meet till autumn, but at their la^t meetings they adopted vigorous and hopeful reports. The information furnished this year is, for the most part, full and definite, and the following summary i' condensed and arranged with a view to clearness and brevity. Question I.— Please state the causes that, in your opinion, have produced the improvemciu duiing the last twenty years in the drinking customs and temperance sentiment within your bounds ? A very few Sessions seem to doubt whether there has been any sach improvement, but they have jnilntirely beyond reasonable doubt. They are no mere assumption. They are a grand reality, f c r which we should thank God, and take courage. In view of these facts, it is well to enquire into the causes that have produced the changes, that we L y learn what have been the most effective forces and methods used. Hence the first question. The unanimous voice of the reports deolareR the preaching of the Qospel to be the chief cause, and underlying all other causes, for it furnishes men and women of true devotion auil sincerity to carry on the work. The plain, out-spoken manner in which the pulpit has exposed the evils of the tralSp, the faithful and vigorous presentation of Gospel truth, endorsed by the constantly improving example of our ministers, have been increa6in(,ly effective. Next couio— dissemination of temperance principles in the Sabbath schools, and faithful teaching -n Bible classes. Followed up, as these have been, by the growth of spiritual life in the Church and Community, and, especially of late y^nrs, by the growing interest taken in the question of Tem- perance by the Churches, their hostility to the tralBc, the unflinching adherence by our General Assemblies to the principle of prohibition, and the decided stand taken by the Churches gi'nerally in favour of total abstinence for the individual, and legal prohibition for the State, wo have within the Church causes that have been declared to be " more than all other causes combined," and without which they would soon disappear. The position of the Church courts, and especi- ally of our General Assemblies, is strongly emphasized. Here are the other causes that are most frequently mentioned. Tomporauce societies arc fully recognized as having done very much, particularly in early years; Temperance leoturoB, literature aud the use of the pledge, stand high ; improved legi'jiat'on and the agitation con- nected with securing aud enforcing it ; the changed and friendly attitude of the press ; the staud taken by many women, in the home, banishing all intoxicants from their family and social life, having their children trained to total abstinence, aud in connection with the Woman's Christiau Appendix No. 18. 3ort adopted, tnbers o£ the be time fixed other appro- 5) Reports of inment.

Some further reference will be made to these causes under question 5. Question 2. — In how many places in your community is liquor qold by license ? What pro- portion do they boar to the population ? Has iUicit sale increased or decreased ? Many reports are admirably full and definite, and if all had reported with equal care, a very correct view of the state of the traffic in the whole Dominion could be given ; as it is, it can be only partial. We present it by Provinces : — . Nova Scotia.— Only 113 hcenses are granted, and these are all shoj) licenses. Of these 112 are in the city of Fahfax, and are in proportion uf 1 to 357 of population. The other license is in Halifax County, and within six miles of the city. It may be said that liquor is not sold at all in the rural districts throughout the whole province, so few and insignificant are the exceptious, iud i;j many districts none has been sold for more than a score of years. The Inspector of Schools for Halifax County, in his last report, says : " In Musquodoboit side by side in ten sections stand the school-house and the temperance hall. Perhaps it would be difficult to find in Nova Scotia or the Dominion of Canada ^ district of twenty-three sections, stretching along for twenty-five or thirty miles, a more sober and industrious people. Not a grog-shop from one end of Musquodoboit to the other can live. " The same may be said of the valley of the Stewiacke, only a few miles distant, and of many other places in Nova Scotia, The only places that report no decrease of illicit sale are Windsor, Truro, Baddeok, two places, not named, in Sydney Presbytery, and one in Wallace Presbytery, and the city of Halifax, with a^l its licenses. All other places where illicit sale is reported, it has decreased, the most marked cases being in the Presbytei'y of Victoria and Bichmoud, where about half-a-dozen in Port Hastings and River Inhabitants gave up the trallio within the year. Prince Edward Island. — There are no licenses. The whole province, excepting Charlotte- town, is under the Canada Temperance Act, which ia "uniformly commended as a restrictive measure," but since its repeal in that city, about two years ago, the sale has been free and open. At the last Session of the Provincial Legislatiue an Act was passed which greatly limits it. It grants no licenaes, but is similar to the license laws of other provinces in its restrictive features. The experiment is an important one, and will be watched with interest. Reports regarding tlie illicit sale are varied — several places having uone, others very little, while in others it ia more defiant ; but, " judging from the reports, the illicit traffic seems to be kept pretty well in check." For a number of years the Island has occupied the first place in the Dominion, as far as temperance is concerned, the amount, per head, of liquors conr.umed being less than in any other province. New Brunswick has most of its counties and its capital Froderictou, under the Canada Temperance Act. The following places are reported as having liceuse.s : St. John, 1 to 700 of population ; Campbellton, 12, or 1 to 125 ; Riohibucto, 7, or 1 to 300 ; Dalhousie, 5, or 1 to 600 ; Bathux'st, 5 ; Welford, 2, or 1 to 500. The Presbytery of Miramichi reports Northumberland, within its bounds, under the Canada Temperance .\ct. In it four Sessions report that there is no illicit sale, and four that it has decreased. In only two places' where licenaes are granted has there been any such decrease, while the quantity of liquor used has not lecreased. The results of lioenaea are invariab'y reported as unfavourable. Quelle. — Within the Preabytery of Quebec five Sessions report no license. In tbe city of Quebec there are only two groceries, so far as known to the Session reporting, that do not sell liquors by license. Licensed places average 1 to 280 of population, and in Levis 1 to 23(i. Illicit sale ia rapidly disappearing outside the city of Quebec, resulting mainly from vigorous eufoioe- ment of the law. In Richmonc^ County, during the last five years, $20, 000 have been taken from liquor dealers in fines and nxpenaes. Within the bounds of Montreal Presbytery sc*ne district!) report no license, and some a marked decrease of iUioit sale. Selling on the Sabbath is also falling off to some extent. The following figurea give the number of licenses for the city of Montreal : For liSOO— hotels, ICi ; restaurants, 322 ; shops, grooerie's, 597 — total, 1,034. For 1891— hotels, 153 ; restaurants, 477 ; shops, groceries, BOA— total, 921. In 1890, arrests for drunkenness, 8,808 ; in 1891, 9,349. " The reduction in number of licenses was on account of the increased license fee ; the amount of diuukenneas was not diminished." This is but an example of what is reported from almost all places wLjre licenses are granted. To reduce the number of licenses does not lessen the amount of liquor sold, nor the amount of drunkenness resulting from it. To raise the license fee only makes it necessary to sell more to VI. Api'Endix No. 18. meet the additional expense ; and to sell more the attraotions and temptations to lead men and yoath to drink are made all the more allaring and dangerous. The testimony of P. E. Her, President of the great Willow Springs Distilling Company, Nebraska, fnlly confirms this. In writing to the trade, he says : " High license has not hurt our business ; on the contrary, it has been a great benefit to it." " I believe that high license acts as a bar against Prohibition." " I do not think that high license lessens the quantity of liquor used." If called to vote for " no license, low license, or high license," he believes that the " liquor dealers would almost unani- mously go for high license." After all his long experience in different states " previous to high license and since," he says : "I believe that high license is one of the grandest laws for the liquor traffic, and for men interested, as well as for people at large, there is." The only real remedy is complete abolition of the saloon. To get rid of iU evil infiueuces it must be more than limited, or lessened in numbers, or highly taxed ; it must disappear. Ontario. — It is impossible to give a summary for this Province, many reports being very indefinite. We would like to have been able to give a tabulated statement covering the whole bounds ; failing that we gather the following from the reports of Presbyteries which give the most definite information. 1. Sijnod of Hamilton and London, — (1) London reports 150 licensed places within the bounds, proportion of 1 to 570 of the population. In the City of London licenses have been reduced iu two years from 69 to 40. (2) Maitiand reports 42 licenses within its bounds. The following figures are given for iucorporated towns and villages : Brussels, 4, or 1 to 325 ; Wroxeter, 2, or 1 to TiOO ; Wingham, 6, or 1 to 360 ; Luoknow, 5, or 1 to 240 ; Kincardine, 7, or 1 to 330. Six Sessions report no licenses. (3) Samia. — Petrolea has six licenses, or 1 to 700 ; Sarnia, 9, or 1 to 600; Camlachie, 1, and Burns Church, 1, or 1 to 1,000, with the proprietor starving. Huron. — In villages where licenses are granted they average 1 to 250 of the population ; in towns, 1 to about 450. In the populous township of Hullett there are only two licenses. One place reports I to 'jOO, another 1 to 1000. (5) Paris. — The proportion varies from 1 to 325 to 1 to 760; and :6) Stratford, 1 to 325 to 1 to 1000. 2. Synod of Toronto and Kingston. — (1) Toronto. — In the City of Toronto there are 150 hcensed taverns, oO shops, and 11 wholesale stores, making an average of about 1 to 1000. Fifteen oentreR of population outside of the city are reported as having liquor sold by license. The highest pro- portion is in Streetsville, s.ith 3 hotels, or 1 to 300 ; next, Newmarket, 6 hotels, or 1 to HoO ; Brampton has 8, and Eglington 4 hotels, or 1 to 400 ; StouSville, 3 taverns, or 1 to 400 ; Oak- ville and Weston have about the same proportion ; Milton and lliohmcnd Hill have each :i taverns, or 1 to 500 ; Aurora, 3 taverns, or 1 to 660 ; Union ville has ' to 500 ; Georgetown 1 to 350 ; East Toronto, 2 taverns, or 1 to 750 ; Toronto Junction, 5 tavern^, or 1 to 1000 ; and Scar- boro' has the same proportion. The nine places above, for which numbers are given, have 40 licenses. The proportion for the 15 is 1 to 540 of the population. (2) Whitby. — There are i'< licensed places within the bounds. The largest number in any town is 9. The proportion to the population ranges from 1 to 250 down to 1 to 2,500, giving an average of 1 to 758. (3) Giulph reports 105 licenses. Guelph has 18, Gait 11, and other places from 9 down to 1. Three places have none. The only averages given are : Linwood, 1 to 150 ; Hoxville, 1 to 200 ; Almira, 1 to 250; and Nassagaweya, 1 to 2,700. (4) Lindsay has about 50, the town of Lindsay having the most, 16, or 1 to 440. A list of 9 other places is given, of which 2 have 1 licensed hotel each, 4 have 2 each, 2 have 3 each, and 1 has 5. The proportion ranges from 1 to 200 down to 1 to 2,000, giving an average of 1 to 400. (6) Orangeville. — Within the limits of 12 congregationn there are 33 licensed p'.aces, and it is estimated that there are about 56 within the bounds of the Presbytery. The proportion to population varies greatly, from 1 to 200, to 1 to 1,000, giving an average of about 1 to 300. 3. Within the bounds of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa there are 4 Presbyteries in the Pro- vince of Ontario. (1) Ottatva. — In the city of Ottawa there are 80 taverns, 7 saloons, and 59 shops, being 1 to 301i^ of population. In Carleton Co. there are 26 licensed places, or 1 to 1,153 New Edinburgh has i to 1,100 or 1,200, while Buckingham has 18, or 1 to 100, but if the sur- rounding county be taken in, the proportion will be smaller. Bristol is under local option. There are no licenses. Tin law is well sustained by the municipal council and the popular sentiment, Eind the results are said to be satisfactory. (2) Brockville does not give the number of licenses, but the proportion, where granted, is 1 to 200 or 300. One district of 10 mile8 square is reported as having none. Winchester, a village of 1,200, has adopted the prohibitory clause of the Ontario law of 1889, and has no license. (3) OUngarry. — Numbers not given ; pro- portion, 1 to 260 down to I to 1,000, averaging 1 to about 600. Illicit sale is steadily decreasing. (4) Lanark and ii«n/rew.— Total number not stated. The number in dififerent places varies from 1 to 10. The proportion in 9 centres ranges from 1 to 160 to 1 to 1,000, averaging 1 to 640. One place reports that there are none, " the last of the race having vanished before the steady march of Christian civilization. The illicit sale has decreased all round so far as known." 5. Manitoba. — Vreibytery of Winnipeg. — Winnipeg has 65 licenses, or 1 to 500 of popula- ^on ; Selkirk, 3, or I to 225 ; Fort William, 15, or 1 to 200 ; Port Arthur, 19, or 1 to 142 ; Little Britain has 1 in 10 miles, and it belongs to Hudson Bay Company. Meadow Leaf, Springfield, Appendix No. 18. Vll. and Kildonan report that there is no sale, but the nearness of the last two to Winnipeg largely counteracts the benefits that should otherwise bo enjoyed. (2) The PresbyUry of Minnedoia re- ports 6 licenses, the proportion ranging from 1 to 75 at a railway station, to 1 to 275. Where there has been any change illicit sale has decreased. There has been a great revival of interest in temperance work in Manitoba during the year, with a grand convention at Winnipeg ; all resulting in an Act being passed at the last Session of the Legislature providing for a popular vote on Prohibition at the Provincial elections this summer. This experiment, like the one being tried on Prince Edward Island, is an important one, and the outcome of it will be watched with much interest. The Territories. — Some Sessions iu Regina Presbytery furnish us with an illustration of Irish wit on the prairies. " All sale is illicit but four per cent., and that being more than four percent, is illicit, too." Illicit sale has increased since the introduction of four per cent, beer, and hotels selling strong driuk in defiance of the law. The license law lately passed is said not to be the wish of the majority of the people. It has been secured principally by three classes, who were active in workiu)^ for it ; those who have the appetite, those who want to make money by it, and those who through it seek political advantage. Medicine Hat is the only place that reports liquor sold by license. It has two licenses, 1 to 80 J. Madioine Hat, Lethbridge, and Fiiicher Creek report marked decrease in illicit sale. Davisburg has three places and Re 1 Deer twelve where liquor is sold illegally, and they state that the " permit system " has increased the drinking customs and illicit sale. The Prohibition law which did much good, and was fitted to do very much greater good, had it been fairly dealt with, was over-ridden anl made largely ineffective by the introduction and abuse of the "permit .system" and "four per cent, beer." They make the enforcement of the law very diflicult, and foster drinking customs. British Columbia. — Proportion of licensed places to population ranges from 1 to 50 to 1 to 390, or 1 to 216, in communities reporting. All but one .Session report decrease of illicit sale. With reference to the illicit sale throughout the whole Dominion, while a few report no change or increase the general testimony is that it has decreased, especially where there are no licenses. On the contrary, the statement comes from several places where there are lici^nses, that the illicit sale has not decreased. And a few of the Presbyteries say that even some of those who have licenses overstep the law and sell illegally. A considerable number of Sessions, par- ticularly in the rural districts, state that there is no sale within their bounds. To sum up we find (1) But a few villages and towns are free from the presence and influences of the saloon or dram shop, hundreds of which are licensed, showing us that, even at this late date, the third ques- tion is not supeifluous. It is too plain that multitudes do not yet see the saloon in its true character. (2) The rural districts are largely free from this curse, though it is also true that we cannot in all cases judge of the comparative sobiiety of country and town or cily by the presence or absence of the dram shop, for from these centres it sends its polluted streams far out into the country. (3) The illicit sale still continues in greater or less proportion, especially iu villages, towns, and cities. (4) The granting of licenses is not found to be favourable to the reduction of illicit selling, but rather the contrary, as they tend to increase the amount of drink- ing and drunkenness ; and (5) The illicit sale is steadily decreasing in almost all parts of the Dominion. This inveterate foo of all that i:' good is being gradually, though all too slowly,, driven into narrower limits. It has had to yield not a little territory during the past year. An impartial view of the whole field is by no means discouri.ging, and those engage.l in this woik must never .vieldonu step of what has been gaiued. The work will not be easy. " Griefs shall come. Pain, hardships, death, it may be, i'\ the path ; Yet turn not back 1 hind once upon the plough, Drive the brave furrow forward, eyes intent On the share's point ! " Question III. — What effects have you found the presence of the saloon or dram shop to have in the general life of your community '/ The replies to the second question clearly show that there are still hundreds of saloons, or dram shops, both licensed and unlicensed, in nearly all the cities, and many of the towns and villages of this Dominion. If these are good institutions then let us uphold them and extend them ; but if they are known to be decidedly evil in their influe Moes, then as Patriots and Chri'tiins we are in duty bound to banish '^'im from the land. They have been long on trial, and the testimony of the Sessions of this gieat Church should be conclusive as to their character and influence. Let us hear what they have to say, and let us remember, too, that their testi- mony has been endorsed by Presbyteries and Synods. Here it is : — One unbroken wail of " bad 1 bad I evil, and only evil, and that continually," comes rolling up from ocean to ocean.. iSome Sessions, hapv^W, do not know much about the saloon from experience, but wherever it exists, there are not two oiiinions concerning it. Not a syllable is heard from 19 VIU. Appendix No. 18. any part of the land, from the hundreds of our miniaterB and thousands of our elders \7ho have had the question before them, favouring it in the slightest degree, or even attempting to excuse its existence. Its baneful influences are described in such language as the following: — Universally the most fruitful source of vice and crime, leading to the violation of almost every law of the deca- logue ; depreciates the value of property, and hurts trade ; it is a snare to the innocent ; a source of terrible temptation to youth and men Tvho have fallen, but would fain do better; decoys Iroui religious meetings and influences ; it h irjarious to Ihe religious life of the individual, family, and co-jimuuity ; a menace to the Church and a hindrance to the Gospel ; it organizes other evil atiractinna to increase its trafUo ; it fosters loose habits, idleness, proJigality, licentiousness, and gambling ; it scoops in the money that should go to support suffering families, and pay debts ; it is a mor..^ pest, a canker in the moral life, a blight and a curse, almost burning the fruitful field iuto a barren desert ; it is injurious and ruinous for time and eternity ; and much more in the same strain ; and who will question the truth of it all. Oh 1 what an awful indict- ment a^'aiust the saloon, given by a jury consisting of thousands of the best and most reliable men of our fair Dominion 1 Oh ! What a universal wail of sin, sorrow, and su£Fering ; of desolation, destruction, and death has come to our ears 1 Shall it not reach our hearts ! Shall we tolurato in this great land such an acknowledged source of terrible evils, and imminent danger to our national welfare ? Question 4. — What has been done to secure the teaching of Temperance in your public schools? Is it now taught 7 In only a few instances has anything practical been done to secure such teaching. In a few places disputations have waited upon school authorities to press the matter. In Carleton County, Ontario, special efforts were made, resulting in much increase of such teaching, and in the cities and towns it is fallor and more syHtematio than in the country. Taking the reports as a whole there has been a decided improvement both in ihe quantity and quality of such instruction. In many places the teachers are reported as being in hearty sympathy with it, and as doing much good by iheir example. The Lions being made for such teaching, this Assembly directs its Committee on Temperance to call the attention of tl y Provincial Educational authori- ties to the necessity of making suitable provision for giving instruction on the moral, as well as scientific beiring, of the use of alcoholic liquors ; and that Presbytariei' Committees on Temperance be instructed to memorialize Public Shool Inspectors within their bounds to have a Temperance Manual systematically used in all the soliools under their jurisdiction. 0. That this Assembly approves generally of the Plan of Organization, as contained in Section II. of this report, and recommends it as a simple and practical plan for doing elective Temperance work within the Church. qnESTIONS TO SESSION.S. 1. Has the Plan of Organization, for Temperance work in the Church, recommended by the la.-{y of the Catechism, our ministers nnd elders and Sabhatli .School te.achers should throw more zeal and enertty bito this part of thfir work, so that they may turn out Presbyterians dyed in the wool. Tiie lloman Catholic anil An^dican Churches are must diligent in training; the youn^' in their Catechisms, ami if we are indifferent and careless in this work we shall suffer for it. In regard to the additions made to the membership of the Church from among the youn^;-, tliis has bien looked upon very generally as a tabulating of the results of Sabbath school work, (tne Synod, indeed, takes exception to this, and shows that a double wrong miglit thus be done. Sab))ath Schools might get credit for more than they were entitled to, ami pastors anil parents might not irot credit for whot they are entitled to, and it adds, " Not unfreipiently at Sunday School Conventions and elsewhere the .igency of pious parents and devoted pastors, to say nothing of religious literature and the study of the Bible, is ignored, but all the credit givei. to the Sabliatli school, when, trnth told, nine-tenths of the instrumental cause may be outsiile the .Sabbath school." In this wlmle connection we should rememVier the saying of our Saviour, "One soweth and another reapeth." The words in the Assembly's heading are carefully guarded. It does not wish informatiim as to how many joined the membership of the Church through any particular agency, but how many joine.l from among the young. What led them to take that ste^) is a different thing. The reports, fn far as they throw light on this, are, on the whole, encouraging. We are glad to see so many of the young taking their place in the ranks of Christian confessors, but we would like to see a groat many more. III.— The Means E.mp;,oted to Infoum Congregations, and Especially the Younc., Re- flARDINO THE MISSIONARY AND OTHER WoBK OF THE ChURCH, AND TO CULTIVATE TliEIH Liberality in Supporting the Same. There is a general consensus of opinion that the pnlpit is the best place in which to do this wurk. " When the pulpit gets tmiy alive tne pew will soon awaken." Then after this, the distributiun of missionarv literature, the accounts of their work given by labourers in the home and for(>ii;n field, the visits of the agents of the several schemes, and addresses from workers are named. Most emphatic testimony is borne to the importance of workers in the home and foreign fields givint; in- formation in regard to their work, and it is to l)e hoped that in the interests of the work they will not neglect this duty. Perhaps it is modesty that keeps some of them from doing this work, (ir thoughtlessness, or lack of interest in the work of pastors, but whatever the cause it is a hindrance to the extension of the mission work of the Church. .Sosiie of them are occasionally very free in their criticism of the way in which congregations spend their money, but if they do not think their work worth a little paper and ink and time, how can they expect others to think it worth dnlKir bills. No right principled Christian is dependent on the reports of missionaries for the consecration of his substance to the cause of missions; but he is of necessity, as a steward of God, yreatlv dependent on these reports for the particular direction in which his mcmey ought to go ; ami all experience proves that Christian liberality on behalf of missions is deepened by the spread of infor- lijation. Our workers would greatly extend and consolidate their work, if they attenued not only t" the Apostolic practice of preaching the Gospel, but also of "rehearsing to the church all things that god had done with them." Our people do not want theories and essays on mcules of work, but they do desire to have definite ideas as to the work that is being done. Missionaries, whether in the home or the foreign field are the eyes as well as the hands of the Church, and without their reports the Church walka in darkness. IV.— The Discharge of Parental Duties and the Cultivation of Family RELKnox. The statements under this heading are very varied and very cautious, but from every part of the Church, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, comes the unwelcome testimony that the state of religion in the home is not satisfactory. There are a few bright spots, but again and again such statements as these occur : — " Parents do not sufficiently realize their duties." "They are more and more inclined to shift their work on to the Church workers." Old-time fireside evenings and home readings and solid conversation have almost died out." "Family worship is very general, yet Appendix No. 19. in. reliuioufi inatructinn of the young is left almost entirely to the Sabbath Hchooi."

In this long list there is one which, perhaps, covers more ground than any other, viz., thr i-ove OF PLKAsiiiK. Amon^' those who call thomnelves Christiana thete returns prove that many are lovers of pleasure ratlior than lovers of (tod. They have a form of godliness, but tlioy ilony its iiowor. They have practically anticipated the revision of creeds, and have made the rir.st question ot their new Shorter Catechism to run thus—" What is the chief end of man '! Man's chief end is to have ii good time." Some ministers have subscribed to this new creed. One report says that representa- tive ministers of our Church encourage such things as dancing and card n.krties, wine supi)errt and theatricals. In gome places the character of the .Sabbath evening service is so altered that tlie public has come to call them "Sunday pops." A free concert and a goody goody talk would be a fair description of some Sunday evening services. _ The men who run some congregations have adopted the new creed, and seem to think that their main duty is to cater to the amusement of the ; 'iblic. What is the state of religion in any congre- gation whose minister preaches up the motto, " i<]njoy youself and don't get hurt," whoso services are an accommodation to the taste of the crowd, whose socials are baits for the giddy and frivuliiiH, and whose chief reward is a paragraph in the newspapers? Let the "llam's Horn " rei)ly, "Tlie less religion there is in a church the more oystiTs and ice cream it takes to run it." Truth, " Hhiu'h Horn !"_ and you might turn your latter clause into an algebraic forinul.. and make O. + I. (,', Attractions for the carnal heart. Hosts of young men havo subscribed the new creed. In the summer they deliberately select resorts where they can, with the greatest ease, throw off all the re ntniints of religion and desf crate the Lord's dr.y with impunity. Then, in the winter they find plenty of time, and money too, fnr ail sorts of pleasure, but they have no time to study the liible or visit the sick, or teach in tli>> Sabbath school, or come to a religious meeting. Sometimes they are so exhausted by their pleasure- seeking as not to be able to go to church once on the Lord's day to go twice would bo a violation m' their principles. ^Iilldle■aged men h«ve subacribed it, and as Pleasure moans t them the gathering of gold, tliey rii^e early and go to bed late, and drive hard bargains, and tell Li.rihels of lies, and go over their books on Sundays, to amass and retain their filthy lucre. Politicians nave subscribed it. To gain their own ends they will wade through the filthiest mire till they are besmirched to the eyes. As one report puts it, "Our country is cursed and ills- h(moured hy political corruption carried on so systematically as to be a fine [?] art. There is much reason to fear that many have their consciences so debauched in political matters as to be unable now to distinguish between good and evil." Drunkards have subscribed it. They seek their pleasure and drown dull care in the flowiiii; bowl. Profligates have subscribed it. Pleasure means to them nonsuality. Unlielievers of all kinds have subscribed it, for they say, with Ingersoll, " I will believe nofliing that makes lue feel uncomfortable." The whole tenor of the reports shows that the Church is surrounded by many and subtle influ- ences whereby her work is sought to be hindered ; but if she is faithful to her high calling she lias nothing to fear, for abundant evidence is also given that the Gospel is still the power of (Jod unto salvation. Holding forth and holding fast the Word of Life, the Lord will still add to her sucii as are being saved. In considering this whole matter, and in coming to any conclusion in regard to the actual state of religion in any given place or time, the conviction is pressed in upon us that there is great need of that gift of the great Head of the Church called "The discerning of npirits," and perhaps it may be profitable aa a guide and as a corrective to any estimate we may be dispot'oi to make, to place in parallel columns two leports on the State of Religion in these last days ; that on the left given by the imagination of man, that on the right given by the Spirit of God.

[i] APPENDIX No. ^20. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE SCHOOLS. ON SABBATH I. STATISTICS AND FINANCP]. Your Committee beg leave to report that returns have been received from every Vresliytery except that of Newfoundland. They have much satisfaction in stating that, although in one or two cases seriously lacking, the statistics are nearly all of the year 18D1. Only in one case were the figures of the previous year incorporated, but their effect .i inappreciable in the general result. Tlie Presbyteries of Halifax, Wallace, Pictou, Lunenburg and iJhelburne, Lanark an! scholars is tH),200, or 66 per cent. This ratio is no improvement ujion that of last year. Serinr.- blame attaches somewhere when mote than one-thint of our enrolled scholars aie alisent everv Sabbath. New scholars are reported by 887 schools, 205 more than last year, and their agKre^'atl■ number is 12,749. The returns under this last head are so unsatisfactory that vour Committee recommended that the question be changed to "What is the net increase (or decrease) in total membership." RECITATIONS. •Scripture.— \\'hi\n there are 717 more reported as memorizing Scripture than appeared la>t ye.ir. and returns are received from 120 more schools, we caimot find that the nercentauti' has increased in the slightest degree. If we assume, what must be very near the truth, tnat the 1,053 scho(d.- liearii from contain (me-half the estimated scholar.^, namely, 71,900, we shall see that the numlier ouKaLreil in this important exercise includes but 04 per cent, of those above the infant class. The Comniittec would again earnestly call the attention of the Assembly and the Church to this ominous net,'ieet of the Bible as the Sabbath school text-book. Shorter CatfcAi'.ini.— Sevonty-two percent, of the total number of schools rejiorting, i.e., l.l^li. state that 51,757 scholars habitually recite the Shorter Catechism. Assuming that these sciiniii. contain 72 per cent, of the scholars, and that ime-fifth are so young that they could not be extiecteil to study it, we find that only 66 per cent. (14 per cent, less than last year) are, even in the nmA superficial manner, making themselves familiar with our unrivalled epitome of Bible doctrine. Tlie figures given show a decrease of 1,015, and this corroborates our calculations. When we turn to tii. next column and find that only .327 schools (.37 less than last year) were able to report any scliolar- as having reviewed the whole Catechism within twelve months ; that the total nundier thus pre- sumably refreshing their memories is only 3,663 ; and that this is a decrease of 68 since last year, we have a right to suspect that some causes are in operation tending to drive the Catechism imt cf our schools altogether. One-third of our scholars never touch it, and not one in thirty reviews it even yearly. Taking both these columns together and comparing their testinKUiy witli that j,'iven last year we cannot avoid the conclusion that there is a growing neglect of doctrinal tuachiiiK'. Home Preparation. — The Committee note with pleasure the marked itnprovement in this i)ar- ticular— .50,176 scholars (an increase of 2,964) are reported by 1,016 schools as preparing their lessons at home. The Home Study Leaflet ia designed chiefly to assist both teacher and scholar in this duty. Appendix No. 20. 11. Although we cannot so soon expect to discover all the good results anticipated, it is curious to note that the net increase of home students is nearly equal to the number cf copies of that periodical cheme for increasing their efficiency is given under Higher Beliijioits Inntruition. (0) That such a large proportion of our elders are giving the weight of their character, wisdom and mature experience to the work of the Sabbath school. (7) That more of our communicant members are found amongst our Sabbath school scholars. The gap between the Church and the school will never be closed until the Church comes into the school. (8) That, on the whole, our Sabbath schools are growing in liberality. The seed sown now will bear fruit in coming years. All depart- ments of the Church's finances will share the fruits. II. -HIGHER llELIGIOUS INSTRUCTIQN. This scheme is, we believe, commending itself more and more to our Sabbath schools. Wher- ever it has been faithfully pursued the best results have been attained, but, like everything else, it must be used in order to be of any use. There is no royal road to efficiency in Bible study, any more than in secular learning/. Our scheme proposes work — thorough and persistent work — with an end in view, along clearly defined lines. It concentrates attention upon cardinal topics, and proposes methods of study with due recognition of diligence at the end. Ihis is the wtiole schonie in a word. It is an attempt to elevate the Sabbath school as an educational institution. Of the necessity fo this we need say nothing after the facts disclosed by our statistical returns. The total number who studied under the scheme last year was 737, and of these 393 presented themselves at the examination. The day proved exceedingly stormy over the whole of the Dominion, and La Grippe laid its heavy hands impartially upon examiners and candidates. Your convener was, through illness, unable to issue the question papers on the day appointed, so that a postponement was necessary. All these causes abundantly account for the decreased numbei' of candidates. In the essay department, where weather and influenza could not interfere, there is a increase. One mo?t interesting feature of the last examination is the appearance upon our list of nine pupils in the mission school at Ujjimr, Indore. These are rU heathen, or at least not Christians. The same papers were sent to them as were used in Canada, and the answers were written in Hindi or Urdu. One senior candidate wrote in English upon "The l\!'i!,'s of Judah," and his papers were sent to the convener .vho placed them in the hands of the Rti . Thos. Stewart, M.A., Dartmouth, N.S., for examination. In his report Mr. .Stewart says: "I ;iin sure that any one who reads tiie papers i f No. 92 must be struck with the excellence of it. The writer (I dare not use the i)ron(>un for I cannot guess the sex) shows a marked acquaintance with tli" history— a knowledge of facts in some cases outside of the text-book, and evidently obtained from the Bible itself. The few quaint idioms used only add to the impression made by the correctness of the answers." For the rest of the papers the Itev. .J. Eraser Campbell, of Mhow, was appointed examiner, and his reixirt has not yet coins to hand. One cannot but feel that a new and pleasant bond has been formed Lolween our Sabbath school scholars and those in our mission schools. Ondtting the candidates from Ujjain, 231 entered in the Biblical department, of .vhoni 5 took medals, 24 prizes, and 130 diplomas ; in the Doctrinal, ()3 appeared, of whom I took a nie.■..:;] ■'■ Your Committee think that the Assendjly has not dealt fairly withjthem in rega;d t.> this little book. The Assembly of 1880 instructed them "to prei),are a brief Haudliook on Sabl a h school organization, clasaitication, government, work, registration and systematif giving, to Ije submitted V. Appendix No. 20. for consideration at next Aasembly." Tlie duty of preparint; this Handbook was assigned to a aub- Committee, of which Mr. David Fotheringhatn wa.s convenar. He wrote the book and the othera reviewed it. In order to secure the result of their labour for the Church, the convener of the sub- committee copyrighted it, not for himself, although the author of it, but on behalf of the Committee. It is held by him precisely as are the Hymnals, or the Home Study Leafiet, by those whose names stand upon them. It is freely donated to the Committee, and all profits from its sale go into their fundii Your Committee had the book printed and laid before the Assembly at Ottawa in 1890. ■ It was "remitted to the Committee carefully to examine said Handbook and report to next Assembly." In order that all who desired might have an opportunity of leisurely examining it, a cheap edition was published. This was brought before the Assembly at Kingston last year, with the renewed recommendation that " it be approved and recommended as a useful guide in matters pertaining to the Sabbath school." Very nastily, and, we believe, under a total misapprehension of the facts of the case, the Assembly struck out this recommendation without discussing the merits of the work. The Committee felt unjustly rebuffed for doing patiently, and at a cost of much thought and labour to one of them at least, exactly what they had been instructed to do. After such a decision, your Committee did not feel justified in incurring the expense necessary to place the book again in the hands of members of Assembly. Copies may be procured from the convener, at the price of 15 cents each, by any who wish to examine it. It has been submitted to a large number of most competent judges, and their opinions will be found .^n a sheet accompanying this report. It is hoped that this array of testimony will give the Assembly sufficient confidence in the work to enable it to adopt the recommendation regarding it, namely, that the Conuiiittee be authorlzcil to publish the work with these words on the title page ; "Prepared for and recommended by the Committee on Sabbath Schools of the Presbyterian Church in Canada." By this the Assembly 1^ not officially committed to an approval of all, or indeed of any, of the statements or methods, advanced in the book. V.-FINAXCES. When the Lord has work for His people to do, we may rely ujjon Him for money with which to carry it on. Our part is simply to plan as wisely as we can, with uioJesty, yet not unworthily, when the cause demands genenms treatment. In this faith your Committee have gone forward, and they have not been disappointed. Our growing expenses have been met by growing liberality, not indeed commensurate with our full requirements, but following the.se at a distance not so great as to cause serious anxiety, yet sufficient to keep us alive to the necessity of using means for raising funds, as well as prayer that these might be forthcoming. An inspection of the Financial State- ment appended will show the sources of our income and the objects for which it has been disburseil. The Committee have to thank the Rev. P. M. Mv rison. Agent of the Church at Kilifax, for coming to their relief when funds were low n. year ago, and they regret that they have not yet Ijoen able to refund the amount then advanced. Your Committee respectfully submit that the time has come when the work under their charge should be supported, as is that of other committees, from the general rei5 B <0 < e ?Ei Totals 000 .533 73 Synod of Montke.\l and i Ottawa— I i Quebec I 43 20 Montreal ! 02, 01 Glengarry ' 49, 44 Ottawa I oS| 47 Lanark and Itenfrew I 75' 75 'irockville ; 37; 33 2830 23.55 1200 5585 10971 42211 4424 1131 1 4040 2301 181' 24 (j 1.55 308 53 3.50, 392 52, 303' 310' 280 ]!tO 120 501 145 410 405 104 414 285 u s QJ V Recit.vtions, a. •c u .

Appendix No. 21. THE BKOORI) rOR TIN YEAHH. Tt U now ten veari since tho General AiHeinhly apiiointed the Mnanl in eliar^e of churuh erection in WeHtern Canada, and during the period of itti oxintence the irior and the I'aciHc, for which thiH Board has not heipod to providti a place of worship. The erecti m of churcheM and nmnHt-H haB supplied our mlHsionariee with honieH, and our congregations and ndHHions with the renuiHite accommodation for ili« prosecution of Sunday school and othur necessary work ; it has given visil)ility to religion. t(«ken pimsession of the ground fur Christ, and given hoi)e and imparted co\iragt' to people who were beginning life under new, and in some cases, adverse cunditicms, ADDITIONAL HKVRNUK. In accordance with the permisHlon granted by the last (ieneral Assembly, etforts wore iiut forth to increase the capital of the Board, and nearly ono-fo)irth of the sum aimed at, ^4.'"i,000, bus been siibscribeil. The Board expects to raise fully one-third of the amount in the Synod of Manitotia and the North -West, and expresses the hope that the Eastern Provinces and the Motherland may proviilf the balance. It should be borne In m'nd that, unlike a similar fund in the Aniorlcan Prosliy ■ teriau Church, this fund receives no collection from the Church, that only very occasionally is It remembered in the wills of the wealthy, and hence it depends almost exclusively on 8i>ecial con- tributions for its work. Now is the time to help It. MPKOIAL DONATIONS. Some anonymous friend In Scotland sent, through the Colonial Committee of the l?hurch of Scotland, a contribution of £.')00 sterling, for which the si)ucial thanks of the Board were tendered, and forwarded through the Cohmlal Coinmittee. The Board earnestly hopes that more of the wealthy men of the Motherland may imitate the example of this generous donor, anil ho help the work of Church extension in this new land. Thousands of Scottish immigrants are settling In tliix country, and no better investment of mission money can be made than in planting religious institutions among them. The Board has pleasure in reporting that the young people of the Presbyterian Church, Glencoe, Ont., sent a contribution of 9500 in Januarjr last. This amount was loaned to the congregation of Belmont to erect a church. The congregation was informed of the source whence the money was received, and asked to correspond with these young people in Glencoe from time to time. Wheti the money is refunded, the Board purposes to loan it again on the same conditions. These yoim^ people will thus have the satisfaction of knowing that they are making a distinct and iwrmanont contribution to the work of the Church. Are there not scores of Young People's Societies in the Church who could follow this praiseworthy example ? THE LBOACY OF MRH. NICHOLLS. There was a report presented to the last General Assembly showing thot the late Mrs. Nicholls, of Peterboro', hod, among other be<|ue8tH, left $10,000 to the Homo Mission work of the Church, und "to the Fund for the aid of missions In Manitoba and the North-Wost Territories of Canaila, $10,000." Dr. Robertson, a member of this Board, informed the Assembly that he had correspondeil with Mrs. Nicholls during her lifetime and brought before her the claims of the Church and MauHe Building Fund, that Mrs. NichoUs had replied stating that she would at Home future time aid the Fund, and that in his opinion the $10,000 specially designated by Mrs. NichoUs for Manitoba and the North-We^t, was Intf^nded, in part at least, to implement this promiHe. Bv letters subrolttetl to the Board since the Assembly rose, from the Rev. A. Bell, pastor of Mrs. Nicholls at, and for some time prior to, the time of her death, and also from H. A. Hall, Est)., of Peterboro', the Board became more fully convinced that Mrs. NichoUs intended to aid its work, and that her Intention has so far miscarried only through not knowing the legal designation of the Board, or Its preciuo relationship to the Home Mission work of the Church in the West, and the Board conseipiently notlhed the Home Mission Committee at its autumn meeting that it would bring this matter before the General Assembly of 1892, with the view of obtaining at least $.5,000, or one-half of the bequest specially designated for Manitoba and the North-West for the work of church erection. The Board, therefore. In view of all the circumstances, and knowing that the Assembly is fully able to act in the case, respectfully asks the General Assembly to be pleased to instruct the Home Mission Committee (Western Division) to pay over to the Treasurer of this Board the sum of ?" 000, being one-half of the sum specially designated by the late Mrs. NichoUs in her will for . >ine Mission work in Manitoba and the North-West Territories. Apart entirely from what the Board believes to have been the intention of the testatrix, tlie record of the work done by the Board constitutes a valid argument for acceding to the request ■■( the Board. Every manse erected in the past saved the funds of the Home Mission Committee, an every church built hastened the missions to the day of self-support. Moreover, as will be seen from the "rreasurer's statement, the treasury is practically empty, and the Board Is face to face with a rapid expansion of Church work. The immigration this year into the country is large, a nuiiiljer of missions are desirous of buildinfv churches, and any slackness at such a time is sure to act injur- iously on Home Missions. The Board submits the case in confidence to the wisdom of the Assembly. The financial statement submitted by the Treasurer will show the revenue at the disposal of the Board during the year and its expenditure. Al'PKNDIX No. 21.

Thf, Hymnal Committee beg to report that during the t^st year there have been issued of the Ci.'uch Hymnal and of che Hyrj;nal and Psalter, with and without music, 25,765 copies. These in- clude only 98 copies of the Hymual and Psalter with tonic-sol-fa notation. Of the enlarged five cent Sabbath School Hymnal there have been issued during the year 17,542 copies. The printing of the enlarged harmonized Sabbath-School Hymnr.i has been completed during the year and 1,332 copies sold. A large number of the old harmonized edition has been presenteil t^ Sabbath schools in whose behalf application was m .de. The new edition is sold at the same pric>' as the old copy — 30 cents. From the Treasurer's Statement, which is appended, it will be seen that there is a balance of SI, 616.26 to the credit of the Committee. Of this amount it is recommended that §1,200 be allocated to the Aged and Infirm Ministers' F'lnd. As the contract for the publication of the Church Hymnals will expire in January next, it U recommended that the Hynmal Committee be a\ithorizeJ to take such steps a.s they judge best foi- their publication in future.

In the circular calling the meeting each member was asked if he found it inconvenient to attend— and the probability of this being the case, in a number of instances, will be evident when it is considered that the Committee was composed of representatives from the bounds of different Presbyteries from Halifax to Winnipeg — to send in writing any suggestions he had to offer. None of the members were present at the meeting as called, and only two acknowledged the receipt of the circular, and made any suggestions. One of these proposed the addition of certain (juestions which at one time had been on the schedule sent out, and the other stated that he regarded the questions in use as satisfactory. In the circumstances the proper course, perhaps, would have been to make no oiiange, but before the slips were printed it was tho',i:;ht advisable, in conpeciuence of representations made, to add a (luestion as to the amount contributed to the Endowmejit Fund for Aged and Infirm Ministers. Tina fund has been, for some tiiue, one of the Schemes of the Church, and separated from the Ordinary Fund for Aged and In- firm Ministers. It has been brought be fire the people in, at least, some parts of the \V(-stern Section of the Church, by special appeal. It has been receiving contributions, some of them large> and the amount is now considerable, although by no means up to that contemplated. It is, it is true, comparatively local, and this fact caused some hesitation regarding the propriety of setting apart a special place for it. However, it was thought advisable that an ojjportunity should be given for recording the liberality of the Church in the districts over which the canvass has extended, or was yet to extend. As the payments of the subscriptiims are to spread over a number of years— say five at least— the question will have to be repeated for some time unless the General Assembly order its withdrawal, or the Committes that may be appointed deem it expedient to cause its discon- tinuance. It is (me of the orders of the Supreme Cimrt that the reports of Standing Committees should be in readiness to be distrilmted in printed form at an early sederunt of each annual meeting. To give effect to this order in the case of your Committee it is necessary that the rejiorts of Presbyteries shcndd be in their hands by the beginning of April, to allow of their being revised and compiled so that they be supplied to the printer not later than the lieginning of May. Generally, Presbytery Clerks have been seasonable in making their returns, liut in some instances there has been delay even after special and repeated applications have been made, therel)y causing no small inconvenience, .■>ud it should be borne in mind that the delay of even one Presbytery b irs the work of compilation, ami likewise interferes with the work of the printer and the arrangement of his forms. Such delay cannot be justified by ordinary circumstances. The slips for congregations and the sheets for Presbyteries were issued in time t ) reach their destination weeks, and even months, before the end of the year. Notice that this had been clone w.is ^iven in papers and periodicals circulated through- out the Church. It must be concluded that they .all reached the persons to whom they were iiddresaed, for the Convener received no intioiation of a failure in this respect in any inatanie. Yet simie of the ratiirns came dropping in after the greatest number of them had been received and sent off to tlie printer. Some had not come to hand till after llie lieginning of May. The work of compilation was, in consequence, arrested. It is most desirable that all Presbytery Clerks be punctual in the future in the discharge of this service, and tliat to admit of their being so. Sessions, and managers or deacons of congregations make their reports to Presbyteries as soon as possible after the close of the calendar year. As the decennial census of the Dominion was taken up in the year 1890, and part of the results pulilished in 1891, and part sinc» the beginning of 1892, your Committee was anxious to obtain authentic information regarding tiie increase in the population which had taken place, whether by u. Appendix No. 23. immigration or birth, and to ^ niiiare witli it tlie incrc^asp, if any, in the Canadian Prssbyterian Church ; and, next, the increase, if any, in the different religious ilenomi.iations, and the jilace cf our Church among these. The means of ascertaining this have been furnished to the Conveiin through the Ivindness of friends in Ottawa who are attending to thfir Pariianientary duties, and who have sent him copies of the bulletins upon the census that have been published. ft would re- quire too much time to enter at any length on the consideration of these, or give a digest of them in even the briefest form ; there would be danger, too, of incorporating matter foreign to siicli a reiioit as your Committee are expected to present. It may, however, be remarked generalij' that it is will- known that the results of the census have been disajipointing. The increase in ii.ipulation has nut been what was anticipated. Your Committee are not concerned with the c.-.'ises of this. It may be owing in part to the difference between the nu)de in which the census was taken for the deciidei^ ending with 1880 and 18'.l() respectively. It may be in part owing to a lower birth-rate, am', a diminished per centage in the numbers in familie.s. There may have been other causes. Then if we come to the Census of I'eligious Denominations, it is a matter of notoriety that the figures in the Dominion census are not Btrictly accurate or reliable, not, perhaps, owing to any fault chargeable on the enumerators, but to the fact, singular as it may appear, that not a few of the people cannot state the denomination to which they belong. In the Dominion census taken in 1881 there were reported 620,280 as belonging to the Pres- byterian Church in Canada, or a total of all Presbyterians of 676,171. In the one taken in 18'J1 and published this present year the number was 755,199 for all Presbyterians ; the numbers in the different sections of the body being united, shewing an increase of 79,028. In the Statistical Report now presented by your Committee, that is for 1891, the numtier of Families is given as 92,483. With an average of five persons and a half to each Family this would give 508,656 individu.">^ls, and to these 16,580 have to oe added the number of Single Pers..ns not connected with Families ii: the Congregations in which they were worshipping, making a total of 525;236. In the Committee's Report I'lr the yeav ivnding with ? larch, 1881, the number of Families wa? repoi'ted as 66,936, which, at the same average per family would give 368,1)8 individuals, to which 6,616 Sinijle Persons not reported in connectiu- with Families have to be added, giving a total uf 374,7t't, iji- a net increase in the decailo of li.-t. :,'2, being a rate of increase of nearly 15,000 each year. Had there been fuller returns for uach o? t e years the relative values of the two groups of aggregates might not be materially i>lt<..ed, hv.' tl.o aggregates themselves would have been consid- erably greater, and the true strength of the Church would have api^eared to better advantage, but such IS the state of the figures a'- they hit'o passed through the Committee. It will be seen that the Dominiotj '''er.-iB for the former ten years gives 254,516 more belonuiiii,' to our Church than the calculation m.'tdL' -om the returns of Congregg^tions and Stations throuKh Presbyteries, while the' for the latter te, ars gives 229,963 more than the returns of the Church show. According to the returns ', c ' jI there ivt a .52.", 'iW persons belonging to the Church. Your Committee c.\unot pu^is on wit.n.it calling special attention to this difference between the V -nbers reported by the » hurca and the numbers reported by the Dominion Government. Tiiere r t: ery reason to coucludj that th > latter is substantially accurate, and that the former is defective. .'^5>',.e rei)"rting Congregations and Stations do riot gi' e the number of Families and Single Persmis cvr.j"^'. • • V .• h them, that is one re.As^n of a discrepancy between the two returns. Next, there are Cod;;v .i,;t!./! !'s V id Statitms that do not report at all ,^ny of their statistics. There have been such evfiy 'jewt. all," ■ agh they are few now coir.;)ared witht';e past. This is a second source of difference. Bu; :if(.i?r "V.v L.iice has been made for tusne ard other sources, if they exist, the fact must be acknow- ledged ti..-»t there are thousands, perhaps it might he said hundreds of thousands, at any rate tens of thousands, belonging to our Church of vhom she has no knowledge, and who have no Chun'li connection, although ni.any of them residing in localities in which there is opportunity for the full enjoyment of religious privileges. Is there not 'hen an urgent and loud call for the services of tlin^e making a relieious profession, and within the pa»e of the Church to gather in those that are with- out ? Here at their very doors there is a field f')r Home Mission work. Those in remote ami destitute districts of our Dominion must not be forgotten. Our Provinces and Territories must ti't be allowed to suffer any relaxation of effort to send forth men to laliour among them in the (!i)-|iel of God's Son, or to procure means to enable such to give themselves wholly to that service, lir.t there is an opportunity for Home Mission work within the bounds of every congregation, and there are men and women who are called on to improve it, for every church member and udherent shmilil be a Home Missionary in this respect. It may be interesting for ymir Committee to present the relative standing of our Church aimm!; the other religious denominations in Canada with regard to increase, as this is to be learned from the late Dominion census. The l\r)man Catholic Church stands first, with a population of 1,990,465, the increase diuint' the ten years having beer« 198,483. Next comes the Motliodist body, with a population of 847,469 ; increase for the same perioil 104,488.

In 1800 the number of (.^iMminr'AMs on the rolls of Sessions in this Synod was 27,005. In 1801 !t was 28,130, giving an increase of 4.35.

Throughout the .Synod 1.705 were admitteii to full communion on their own Puofkssion of riiElu KAiTii in Christ, and 87-1 on cKlii ifii'atks from other Churches.

Tlie numlier of these reported last year was 1,058, and this gives an increase ■ i! 17. In two Presbyteries, namely. Montreal. 24, and (llengarry, 5, fewer have been added in the latter ve.ar as compared with the former, while (^'uebec shows an increase of 47 ; Ottawa, of 4 ; Lanark and Renfrew, of 12 ; and lirockville, of 13--in all, 70, which, less 20, gives the net increase as .stated.

It was to His people assninbleii for that purpose that God spake good and comfortable words towards the closing centuries of the Old Testament Economy, and to whom He gave such a ijrcciouilpromise, which sinular asscinMii'* ever since may receive to their encouragement and incitement in waiting \ipon Him. 'I'd such assemblies in New Testament times Christ has given the assiirance ttiat He will be with them. The prayer meeting, then, is a trysting place in which our Divine Saviour has engaged to be present .inil make His presence felt by the communion which He holds with the souls of those who asseinlile. What greater incentive can be presented to resort to it by Christians who have the opportuiiitv ; And what greater blessing can be received here than fellowship with Him wlioiri the soul loves witli both gratitude and admiration '/ The instruction of the young in Sahhath .Sciioor, and Rihi.k fh.AHs is one of the stiiki'i. features of the religious life of the present day. If the Church was long neglectful of her diililrcii, and of the command of Christ to " feed His lambs," she has for years been making strenunus etfnrt,' to roll away from her the reproach. If there were now a congregation of tlie Church or even a mission station, in which there were no such cl.'wses, it would bo regarded .as an anomaly. Salihath schools are sometimes the pioneers to prepare for the preaching of the Gospel. FlourislliIl^ 0"n- gregations now exist in places in which only a short time ago the oidy means of religious instiuctiun were in the Sabbath school. Such institutions must have the prayerful sympathy and open en cimragement of those who desire to see the rising generation brought to the feet of Jesus that th>-\ may learn of Him the lessons that will prepare them for the warfare which has to be carried on, ii. the present life, against the powers of wickedness, and for the rest in glory of the life to come. In the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa there were 20,,571 receiving instruction in snth class,- mider 2,351 teachers and other otticers, being a decrease in the one of 347, and in the other of lii).

From these figures it will be seen that the congregations of the Church in that section of th- Dominion covered by this .Synod continue to move in the line of providing homes for those vvii minister to them in holy things, and accommodation for themselves that they may coinfortaLlv worship the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It would be well if Kirk Sessions and others would take an interest in this subject on which information is gought. Your Committees in previous years have brought the case of Younff Per- sons particularly before the Supreme Court in their reports. They have already in this rejiort jiresseil their claims on tl.e consideration of church members as well as of office-bearers. It cannot lie concealed that there is reason to fear that, in some congregations, they are oierlooked by those who are especially luiund tn consider them and give them attention, counsel and encouragement. There are congregations in ir centres of ijopulatiim and business from whose reports it appears that there are no Single J'ei -PUS from outside ([uarters connected with thorn. Is the inference an unfair one that they are not looked after by those whose province it is to watch for souls?

Stnod of Hamilton and Lonhon. In the Synod of Hamilton and London, embracing 9 Presbyteries, the number of Churchkm nr .Stations supplied by pastors, or constituting pastoral charges, is 328, bein>r 11 more than for the previous year. The Presljytery of Stratford gives a decrease of 1 ; Hamilton, Chatham, Huron and Bruce, an increase of 1 each ; Paris and London an increase of 2 each ; Sarnia, an increase of 4 : Maitland remain? the same for both years. In 18'.K) the number of Sittings was rejwrted as 107,041, and in 1891 it was 10,'?, 516, showhif; that although there has been an increase of churches or stations, as just stated, tliere has been a decrease of :\,o2a in the accommodation provided for worshippers. Five Presbyteries show a decrease of 4,618 ; namely, Hamilton, 565 ; Lomlon, 945 ; Chatham, 1,230; Stratford, 298 ; and Bruce, 1,,')WI; Four Presbyteries report an increase of 1,093 ; namely, Paris, 223 ; Huroi\, 200 ; Maitland, 'S.i'i ; Sarnia, 435. The thought returns, and may be repeated, that there is want of due care, in fact, a want nf faithfulness to duty in the calculations, i; ley should not be called guesses, of Kirk Sessions in this item of information which is sought. It can be of no interest to anyone to imder-estimate the capacity of the buildings in which congregations assemble for worship on the first day of the week. On the other hand an over-estimate or carelessness in arriving at the numbers should not be charge- able against any Session. ./Accuracy and honesty should be the points kept in view. Tlie total number of Familiks in the Synod has increased by 290 ; the numbers for the respective years being 19,726 and 20,016. In the Presbytery of London there has been a decrease of 58 ; in Chatham, of 28; in Bruce, of 179 (caused, it is presumed, In a great measure by emigration tn Manitoba and the North-VVest Territories), and in Sarnia, of 07 ; in all, ;132. In the Presbytery uf Hamilton there has been an increase of 99 ; in Paris, of 162 ; in Stratford, of 342 ; in Huron, rf 10, and in Maitland, of 9 ; altogether, 622, leaving a net increase as previously stated.

Paris gives a decrease of S'.l ; London, of 40 ; and Huron, of 12 ; that is, in the 3 Presbyteries, of 141. Hamilton and Chatham give an increase of 25 each ; Stratford, of 108 ; Bruce, of 52 ; Maitland of 11 : and Sarnia, of 7 ; iu all, 228. The Communicants on the rolls of Sessions numbered 41,733, being an increase on the previcjus year of 789, made up as follows : — In the Presbytery of Paris an increase of 333 ; in London of 1(K) ; in Chatham of 156 ; in Stratford of 574 ; and in Maitland of 81, making an aggregate of 1,244. Hut there were decreases— in Hamilton of 263 ; in Huron of 31 ; in Bruce of 126, and in Sarnia of ,'i."), aggregating 455, giving the net increase already mentioned. The Additions during the year were 4,502, of whom 1,665 were by Certificate from the Ses.slDns of Congregations with which they had been formerly united, leaving 2,837, who, for the fiist time, publicly declared themselves to be of the family of God. Last yearthe additions were 4,292, of whom 2,585 were received on their own profession. There has thus lieen an increase in this class of L'."i2. Of this number 72 were added in Hamilton ; 136 in Paris ; 47 in Stratford ; 7 in Chatham ; 1 in Huron, and 44 in Maitland, aggregating 307.

From these figures it will be seen thivt tlie Churcli is making decided progress in Manitoba and the North- West Territories. Your Committee need not go into calculations to show whetlier she is keeping up with the ))opulation as a whole. Appearances favour the conclusion that at least the Presbyterian portion of it is carefully considered, although it cannot be said abundantly in-o- vided with the means of grace which t'ley have been taught to regard as most in harmonv with the doctrines and worship of the New Testament Kintrdom. An urgent call comes from the western to the eastern section of the Dominion to send them help, and their cry should not be lost in the other strong appeals which are made from other departments of Ohristiati activity and liberality for personal consecration to the service of the Lord, and larger contributions into His treasury. FINANCES. Synod of the Mauitime Phovincks. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces there has been a decrease of §4,019 in the Stipenm Reckivki) from All Soukcks, according to the returns made.

Four Presbyteries report an increase of .§3,499 ; namely : Sydney, §069 ; Pictou, §719 ; Prince Edward Island, §1,554 ; and St. John, §557. It is not the intention of your Committee to institute a comparison of the one year with the other in the case of each Presbytery, to endeavour to ascertain how this falling off has taken place. It would require too much time to do so, but it is recommended that Presbyteries do this for them- selves. There has been an increase of §6,011 in the Stipend Promised by CoNGBKCiATioN alone. Under this item, as under the former one, Newfoundland reports the same figures 'or each year. Six Presbyteries show an increase, aggregating §9.370; namely: Sydney, §1,187; Halifax, §2,881; Pictou, §1,773; Prince Edward Island, §3,360; St. John, §897; and Miramichi, .§272.

Your (Jominittee have little satisfaction in compiling this part of their Report, in conseouenco of nutnorous instances in which no returns havt! Ijeen made, and the few piirticulnrs which have l,.-'en given by most of those rep.irtin^'. It may be an erroneous, but it appears to be only a fair, conclu- sion that Presbyteries d ) not take the ov«rai|^'ht which they should of the St 'tions or Fields within their boun,ls, and these exist ir all the Preshytories with the e.xception of Wallace, Prince Edward Island, Whitby, Stratford, and Maitland. In L')ndon (me has been recently formed. The Pre.sby- tery of Barrie contains the greatest number of any in the Church, 109, ancf it must have cost the Clerk great labour to collect the details he has sujjplied, but he has done his work with scrupulous care. Taking Synods, that of Manitob:v and the North-West Territories has the largest number, 292 j .ind, in that Synod, the Presbytery of Winnipeg, 80. The next Synod is that of Toronto and King- ston, 204,and in it the Pre.sbytery'i>f Birrie. In tlie Synod of the Maritime Provinces there are 103, the largest number in any of its Presbyteries bein;,' in Halifax, 31. Th.it of Montreal and Ottawa c.nies next with 80, and of these 31 are in Qnobee, and 28 in Ottiwa. The Synod of Hamilton and London has the smallest number, 84, only tlire-j Presbyteries rei)orting such, and one, that of Bruce, contain.'^ 05, Chath.'vm, 11 and Sarnia, 8. ST.\TI8TIC8. But confining themselves to jenerj/.? your C(mimittee would state that the number of Stations receiving supply was J73, an increase of 75 on the previous report. The accommodation for worshippers amouiite 1 to 37,105 sittings, an increase of 6,514. Connected wit'.i these St vtiona were 7,730 families, and 1,748 single persons, which, on the baiiis of 3 to a family, would make a total of 8,318, or reckoning five and a half to a family, and adding in the number of single persons, there is a totJil of individuals nuinbaring 44,293. In the number of families there is an increase on the fore^joing year of .5.S7, an 1 2,57 on single persons. On the number of communicanus, 9,548, there was an increase of 498, and of 81 on those added on Profession, Oil, and 25 on those by certificate, 320. The total removals were 402, an increase of 09, of whom 95 were by death, 4 by discipline, 138 by certificate, an I 16.5_ without. Baptism was administered to 008 infants, a decrease of 32, and 54 .adults, a decrease of 49. There has been an increase of 12 in the number of Elders, making it 304, and of 45 in other office- bearers, 774. In 1890 the average attendance at weekly prayer-meetings was 2,831 ; the next year it was 3,23"), :in increase of 404. In Sabbath school and Bible class there were enrolled 7,790 in the latter year, against 0,077 in the former, an increase of 1,719, showing that this provision for the religious instruction of the young ia more generally appreciated and improved ; and these were under the active and conseciated care of 982 workers, an incro,ise of 199. Volumes in libraries. Sabbath school and congregatian.al, have increased from 9,019 to 9,490, or by 471. Missionary Associations have risen from 8 (only 5 Presbyteries having been reported as possess- ing such organizati(ms) to 13, one Presbytery, tha^. of B.irrie, having 6. Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies have increased from 15 to 31, 8 Presbyteries having them in the one year and 10 in the latter. 17 manses, increase 3, were provided ; and 2 rented houses, decrease 1 ; and 19 churches were built, increase 9, but no manses, a decrease of 1.

The amounts expomled on ohuroheg or manseg make a total of $ll.!)(U, an increase of {t'i.olfi, nnil on othfr piirpoHeH connected with Stations, $4,809; and on gtrlctly local work, I9<10,370, an increase of 84,845. In all the Synodn, with the oxcejition of that of Hamilton and London, there have been con- tributions to tlie ordinary tJollece Fund, from $9 in Montreal and Ottawa to $47 in Toronto and Kingston, .%3 in the Synod of tlio Maritime Provinces, and $287 in Manitoba and the North-West Territories. In all there have been payments to the other Schemes of the Church, except the Endowment l-'und for Aged and InHrm Alinisters, aKRregating $3,258 of which $ltil were in the Synod of Mon- treal and Ottawa ; .92;18 in Hamilton and London ; $Mo in the Synod of the Maritime Provincen ; Jiiin Manitoba and the North-West Territories, and $1,270 In that of Toronto and Kingston, with $28 in Delayed Keturns. For Ai.L PimrosKs there have been contributed and paid in the Stations reported $63,!>%, or nn average of .$8.27 per family, and of $f 139 for the past year, [n the number of sittings in these there has been an iiiurease of 8,205— of families of 1,945, of single persons of 650, and of communicants of 4,752. The number of additions on professi.in has risen by 913 ; of attenders at weekly |)rayer-meeting8 by 3,776 ; of young peisong in Sabbath school and Bible class by 5544. and of Sabbath school workers by 776. It will be conceded that one evidence of prosperity is the provision made by the people f ' t the proper maintenance of thoHe who minister to them in holy things. Where there is progrcig in this respect it is a proof that their worldly circumstances are improving, and that their interest in religion at least among themselves is growing. Now, in the stiiiend received from all sources tlit-re has been an increase of $29,022, partly it may be from the Augmention Fund and Homo Mission grants, yet still from the people generally if not locally. There has been an increase of |37,8!i(i in the stipend promised, and of $25,415 in the stipend paid by congregation alone, and $14,494 in the total expeniiiture for strictly congregational purposes. It has been the effort of the Church for some years, and a recommendation of last Assembly on the report of its Committee on Systematic Beneficence, to train the young to take an interest in tlic cause of the Gospel, and to contribute towards it. In thf reports required from congregations and stations from year to year one of the items returned has been the portion of the whole sum raised for Foreign Missions that has been raised by Sabbath schools. According to the answers now under consideration there has been an increase of $1,292. It has been seen that the number of Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies has incrcnseil during the year. There has been no relaxation of the zeal and energy of the noble band engaged in this work, and who have done so much in kindling and fostering a missionary spirit in congrega- tions and stations, and helping to supply the great need that is felt for both men and women to g<> forth to the (^entiles and preach to them the unsearchable riches of Christ. Many at home ami many abroad have reason and will have to lise up and call these workers blessed. The efforts of the different branches have been successful in the immediate h^calities in which they labour, and their last reports show that they have been increasingly successful and this is borne out liy reports sent in which show that there has been an increase in taeir receipts of $4,922. The receipts and expenditure for all purposes has risen from .?2,062,293 to $2,067,235, or an in- crease of .$4,942 — an average of .1122.35 to each family, a decrease of nearly 4i> cents, and of nearly $12 to each communicant, a decrease of about 20 cents. Your Committee would conclude by mentioning the fact that the Lord 'las been mindful of iis, and the promise, of whose ftdfilment they are assured, that He will bless us still. He dues nut grudge to give, let not His people be slow to ask. They would mention, also, the promptitude and care with which some Presbytery Clerks have procured returns from their congregations and stations and sent them on to the Committee. In oth«r cases they have to state that there has been delay which has caused no slight inconvenience. Reports from some Presbyteries have come in in May, and after their arrivals omissions have been corrected, thus entailing changes after the general report has been compiled and uarts of it in tl>e hands of the printer. Allowances must be made in soma instances for the difficulty of procuring returns in consequence of the irregularity and inconveniences of mail communication with the ' "I'KNDIX Nf). 23.

The tinancial stateirents co'.inecteil with the several Schemes of the Church show a gratifying increase in thi^ receipts for the past year. It is true that several of them have received large bequoflts, but, allowing fo' tlie.se, there has l"-. n an increase in mo.it cases from the ordinary sources. The Reports of the Boards and Oomiiii't^ees deal with the Knancial results in each particular case, and so in this brief statement attention sh "1 be specially called to the matter of the General Assembly Fund. The matter has been brougiit under the notlco of each Presbytery and Congregation, and the result is that there has been an increase, though a smttll one, the amount received in 1890-91 having been $3,975.50 and for 1891-92 .?4, 14.5.11. But still the contributions are not satisfactory, and not a few congregations — and some large congregations— have given no attention to this impor- tant and necessary fund. It appears to be necessary that some more definite regulations should be made to meet the contin.j;ent expenses of the Assembly from year to year, and it is recommended that the Finance Committee shall make out an estimate of the amount retiuired for the expenses of the current year, and that these shall be apportioned among the several Presbyteries on an equitable principle, making allowance for the circumstances of the more distant and feeble Presbyteries. The apportionments shall be communicated to the Presbyteries, and these should take order that the amount be raised and sent to the Treasurer before the end of the year. In reference to the distribution of the minutes it is evident that the plan of sending to the con- gregations, at the rate of one for each elder, cannot be kept up, the large increase in the eldership requiring a large additional expense each year. It is suggested that a copy of the minutes and re- ports should be sent to each Minister, and to the session of each congregation complying with the requirements of a contribution, and also one for tin' Board of Deacons or of Managers in each congre- gation, thiia giving three copies to each congregation. Copies should be sent also to all the Foreign Missionaries in the different fields. Then co])ies sliould be on sale at a reasonable amount, say .5Cc, orders f(jr these to be sent to the Assembly Clerk, say by the 1st July of each year, that it may be known how many would be required. In reference to the printing of the Reports of Boards and Standing Committees the Assembly should adopt a rule similar to that which has been adopted by the lieiieral Assembly of the Presby- terian Church in the United States, which is in the following terms : " A sufficient number of the Kouort^ of the Boards and Committees shall be forwarded by them to the place of each Assembly, prior to the day of meeting, and a file of the same, stitched together, shall be delivered to each Com- missioner." The accoimts for the several Schemes are appended, and a general balance of the several Funds is added. The accounts have been audited by A. Jeffrey and J. Y, Reid.

[i-J appejSdix no. OS, REPORT ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. More and more throughout all Christian lands is the question of Habbath Observance coming to the fiuiit an a matter vitally affecting the physical, social and spiritual interests of mankind. Social economists and statesmen, though they may ignore tlie religious aspects of the Sabbath, find them- selves compelled to give attention to it for economic n^asons. On the continent of Europe there is a decided movement to recover the Sabbath as a day of rest from toil for the labouring man. In Oreat Britain, in this country, in the Ifnited States and other lands where the Sabbath a« a day of rest has been fairly well kept, there is a determination to retain the day of rest, and preserve it from the encroachments which greed of gain is ever Roeking to make upon it. Hence it is wise for us to recognize two great aspects of the Sabbath question. We can and ought to unite with all parties, whatever be thoir views as to the sanctions of the day or the man- ner of its observance, who contend for the settmg apart of one day in seven as a day of complete rest from toil. The social economist may seek this merely for the physical well-being of society. The labour unionist may demand it as his right from personal or family reasons. The Roman Catholic may contend for it on merely ecclesiastical grounds, because the Church commands that the day shall be kept. So far as civil protection for tiie Sabbath is concerned, the contest is narrowing itself down to a fight for the day aa a day of rest from labour, and all who accept this simple platform must join hands and wage united warfare if this day of rest is to b(> maintained. We must not seek to incor- porate everything in civil law that we may feel t j be binding upon our own consciences. It is quite different when we come to view the Sabbath in t light of our own duty as Christian- people, and as a Christian Church. For us the day is not raerciy to be retained as a day of rest ; it is to be a day of worship also, a day that we sanctify unto the Lord our God. Hfinco it becomes us to keep the day holy, and by all the means in our power to promote the due religious observance of the Lord's Day. From the reports presented to your Committee, we believe we can say without boasting that our (/hurch has not been negligent either in resisting encroachments upon the Sabbath as a day of rest from toil, or in enforcing its religions sanctions as a day of worship. • As two ways in which the Lord's Day is violated, the reports present the usual, almost stereo- typed, list of complaints. Railway and steamboat traffic, as heretofore, stand out in bad pre-eminence ; then followed Church parades, Simday funerals, Sunday visiting, fishing, driving, etc. A thoughtful examination of the list, whilst showing that we are sadly far from perfect, proves that, comparatively speaking, we are a Sabbath-keeping people. Whilst, therefore, we should put forth o\>r utmost endeavour to have removed from our midst the evil tliat exists, let us be pro- foundly thankful to the God of the Sabbath for the inestimable boon He has conferred upon ns, and continues to us in this land— a quiet Sabbath Day. The report from the Synod of the Maritime Provinces is especially encouraging. One fact is worthy of notice, namely, that with regard to the Sunday traffic over the Intercolonial Railway ; the report says:— "Local traffic has diminished ov('r the whole system to a very considerable extent." "There are fewer passenger trains leaving for their destination on the Lord's Day." " Though freight traffic, too, is less this year than last." " Less labour has been performed in the mec.ianical department at Truro on Sabbaths." " This improvement is due to a chang' in the head of that department." From the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa comes a note of different tone. " There is more freight carried on the Sabbath than on any other day of the year. It would almost seem, too, that the railway authorities have specially selected this day as the proper time for doing repairs and other special works in their numerous workshops." This report calls attention to political gather- ings in tjuebec upon Sabbath Days. It abo refers to the fact that the Canadian mail packets sail from Quebec upon Sunday. The Canadian mails are put on board on Sunday morning, and a supplementary packet is made up and forwarded to Rimouski upon the Sabbath Day. 11. Appendix No. 2S. The Synod ai)p(>inteil a (leimtntinn to wait upon the Government in connection with thJH matter. Tho PogtniuMter Ouneral has pruniiHed to confer with the Steaniohii) Company to see what can l)e done to avoid this deiecration of tlie Lord's Day. In the report from the Synod of Toronto and Kingston Hpecial note is made of meaxureii taken in Toronto to |)revent tht> pamin^ of a proposed liy-law, whereby street cars woulil be allowed to l)e run in that city upon the Sabljath Day. The measures were successful and the Bydaw was defeaten our time and regard." In Lethbridge, N.-\V.T., there has been considerable agitation over the ojiening of the Post Ottice for the delivery of mails 4t Ottice is the usual one of mercantile necessity. In a case like this every Christian citizen of that town should refuse to take his mail from tho ottice on the Sabbath, and our |)eople there should l)e made to feel that in such a conflict the whole Church will make common cause with them. Three matters stand out prominently in the reports of this year :— (1) The first is the evident increased attention given to the subject of Sabbath Observance in the ndnistrations in the pulpit, and in the teachings in the Sabbath Schools. Your Committee cannot too strongly emphasize the necessity of this. If the people be not educated in the conscien- tious and intelligent observance of the Lord's Day, it will be quite in vain for us to pass laws or look for help in outward restraints. The best restraint from evd is ever that formed in the heart > of a God-fearing community. (2) It was natural that all the reports should refer to the legislation sought from the Dominion Parliament. Your Convener asked Mr. Charlttm, who has charge of the Bill, for a statement of the position in which it now stands. Mr. Charlton has kindly furnished the following, which we take the liberty of embodying in our report :— The Bill was reported to the House last session by the Special Committee to which it had been referred. This Committee eliminated from the Bill such provisions as were hold to come more properly^ within Provincial jurisdiction. The provisions of the Bill as reported were :— 1st, the prohibition of the pu'jlication, circulation, or sale of newspapers on the Lord's Day ;_2nd, the closing of the canals on the Lord's Day ; 3rd, the restriction of local trattic on the railways on Sunday to the movement of perishable goods and milk, and a provision inviting the co-operation of the American Government for securing the same regulation in regard to internatitmal traffic ; and 4th, the prohibition of excursions by rail or steamer, or partly by rail and |>artly by steamer on the Lord's Day. The Bill was reported by the Committee too late to receive any action on the part of the House last tession. The same Bill was again introduced the present session. It passed its second reading and was referred to the Committee of the whole House ; when first taken under con- sideration by the Committee the Bill was thrown out by the expedient of moving that the Com- mittee rise. This expedient is often adopted when the apponents of a Bill wish to strangle it with- out having their votes go upon the Journal, as votes in Committee of the whole are not recorded. The following day the promoter of the Bill moved that it be restored to the list of public bills and orders in the position it formerly occupied. Under Parliamentary rules a vote upon this motion could only be made upon a recorded div'-'in, and the Bill was permitted to be restored to the orders without opposition. It has since be^a considered in Committee of the whole. The Sunday newspaper action has been rejected, and the one relating canals adopted in a modified form ; when the Committee rose and reported progress the railway action was under consideration. At this stage of the session it is unlilcely th^t final action upon ti. Bills will be reached. It is certain that a considerable majority of the members of the present House are either openly or secretly opposed to Sunday observance legislation, and apathy regarding the (luestion on the part of the Christian public wdl render the chances of a Sunday observance Bdl doubtful. A more vigorous and united effort in favour of securing the rights of the civil Sabbath to the toiler in Canada should be made by all church organizations and denominations favourable to the measure. (3) The third matter made prominent in the reports is in reference to the closing of the World's Fair on Sundays. This is, without doubt, the burning question of the year on the question of Sabbath observance. Naturally the agitation has been keenest in the United States, where the primary responsibility rests ; but it is an international rather than a national affair, and from all Christian lands influence is being brought to bear upon the Commissioners to have the g.'tes of the Kxhibition closed upon Sunday. It is, without doubt, an exceedingly important event— a strategic point in the great Sabbath conflict. Should the foes of the Sabbath carry their point, it would prove one of the most serious retrograde movements in regard to Sabbath observance th it has ever occurred on this continent. On the other hand, the closed gates and suspended business of this great Exhibition would be a lesson to the world of the blessings of the due observance of the Day of Rest Ari'ENDix No. 28.

From tho Presbytery of (iuelph and the Synod of Toronto' and Kingston, there come to the Assem- bly special overtures, which will no doubt be presented in due form. It is satisfactory to know that material help to a Muliition of this «reat question has been fiiven by a recent action of Congress when making an appropriation to the Columbian Fair, coupled it with the condition that the , and Mr. Mur- ray, who since 1877 had been associated with him, transferred their work on the first of January to Mr. Scott. For a number of years the income of the Hi cord slightly exceeded the expenditure, and the balance was given to the Schemes of the Church. Latterly, the surplus has bean devoted to the dis- tribution of the Itecord, paying, in 1890-91, for about 3,.')00 copies that were given free, and partly paying for about ,5,500 that were sent out to mission stations and weaker congregations at rates vary- ing f'om ten to twenty cents, thus raising the circulation to a grand total of 4(i,000 copies. At the beginning of 1892 it was felt that owing to the large circulation, in consequence of the energy witli which it hail been conducted in the past, it might with safety be enlarged, which was accordingly done, the change in size and type, eonsiderably increasing the cost, making it necessary to ask the full price of twenty-tive cents from all subscribers, and to lessen considevably the number of free copies. Sample* have been freely distributed with a view of increasing the circulation. The mailing list at the present time, including one thousiind free copies, is 45,7.50. The whole number of the Ghildi-ri's Record printed from January to December, 1891, was over 220,000, or an average, apart from the special issue of .January in that year, of 18,000 per month. The total income for 1891 was !J2,247.05. The expenditure was §2,455.43, leaving a debt balance at the end of December of $200. 18. Of subscriptions unpaid at that date, enough will probably be received to cover this amount. The whole issue from January to April, 1892, has been 75,000, or an average, including specials for sample distributiulin Inland and St. Joseph Island. Mr. Ferguson was a most excellent man, held in the highest respect by all who knew him. He left a widow and large family, most of whom fill important and responsible positions. Rev. Qeo. Brown died at Wroxeter in August, 1891. He had been pastor of Wroxeter for twenty- two years, hav!"ig pieviously laboured first in the Foreign Mission field, and afterwards in New Brunswick. In consequence of the infirmities of advancing age, he resigned bis charge about three years ago. He wat a faithful pastor and held in very high esteem by all who knew him. Rev. James Allan of Covehead, P.^'M., died on the 11th August, 1891.
