COMMERCIAL POLICY. ^^ ^^^° '^^^^^^ annuities and all ap- proved forms of Life Policies. The first two secure a large return for the money invested, while the latter yields maximum insurance for mmimum outlay. The Semi-Tontine Plan combines the advantages of Life Insurance with profitable investment. On this plan the two things most desirable in Life Insurance are secured, viz.: certainty of protection to the beneficiaries in case of early death, and large profits to policy-holders in case of long life. The Semi-Tontine Return Premium Plan provides that should death occur prior to the expiration of the Tontine period, the whole of the premiums that may have been paid will be payable with, and in addition to, the face of the policy, thus securing a dividend of loo per cent, on the premiums paid, should death occur during said period. The Commercial Plan places reliable Life Insurance within the reach of all classes, being at about 50 per cent, less than the lowest ordinary life rates. — Regular premiums payable quarterly or as most desirable. Before insuring your life, write for further information to WM. McCABE, Managing Director. PRESBYTERIAN ■I YEAR BOOK FOR THE Dominion of Canada AND Newfoundland, Edited ry Rev. Geo. Simpson. 1888, I88a TORONTO: PRESBYTERIAN PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY (C. BLACKETT ROBINSOn). .:j;...K„..^...a- PREFACE. ^ FTER a lapse of six years The Presbyterian Year Book again ^ makes its appearance. Its temporary cessation was in part due 1 to the lamented demise of the late Rev. James Cameron of Chatsworth, | who compiled it from its commencement till its last issue. It has also to be confessed that it did not meet with the measure of support anticipated, and that it seened to merit. Since then the Church has largely increased in numbers, resources and intelligence, so that the present has been deemed an opportune time for its re-appearance. Care and labour have been bestowed on the compilation of this issue of the Year Book ; it is hoped that it will meet with a cordial welcome. It is designed to be serviceable to all interested in the practical work- ing of our beloved Zion for the furtherance of the Gospel of <^he Lord and Saviour. THE EDITOR. Toronto, December, 1887.

WILLIAM COCHRANE, D.D., CONVENER OF HOME MISSION COMMITTEE. 'TTbC Home Mission field of the Presbyterian Church in Canada is y^ one of the very largest in the world, and taxes the energies of the denomination to meet its necessities and ever-increasing demands. In addition to the regular contributions of our 800 or 900 congregations in Canada, we are aided by the Scotch and Irish Churches, many of whose members have during the past few yerrs settled in Manitoba and the great North-West. AREA. The area of the Dominion, including Newfoundland, may be stated in round figures at 3,367,000 miles. The Home Mission field is co-ex- tensive with this wide territory, embracing the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, New- foundland and Cape Breton, and the more recently acquired Provinces cf Manitoba and British Columbia, with the vast North-West Terri- tories. Let the reader glance at the map of British North America, and try to realize the extent of the work devolving upon all the Churches of this growing empire ! MANAGEMENT. On account of the great distances embraced, two committees have charge of the work, the headquarters of which being respectively, Halifax, Nova Scotia, an." Toronto, Ontario. The Convener, or Sec- retary of the Eastern Section, as well as General Agent for the Mari- time Provinces, was for many years the Rev. Dr. McGregor, of Hali- fax, who has recently entered upon rest and reward. He is succeeded by the Fev. Mr. Morrison, formerly minister at Dartmouth. The Eastern Section embraces Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfound- land, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. The Western em- braces Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, British Columbia and the North- west Territories. It will thus be seen that the territory under the care of the Western Committee is much more extensive and scattered than that of the Eastern, while the field, viewed as a whole, extends from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island, a distance from east to west of 3,500 miles, and from north to south of over 1,400 miles. STATISTICS, ETC. The special duties that engage the attention of these committees are (a) Supplying mission stations with Gospel ordinances. PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 21 {b) Aiding weak congregations by grants of money, to augment the stipends given to their pastors, which without the aid rendered by the committee, would be totally inadequate to maintain regular ministerial supply. These augmented congregations have in every case regularly or- dained and inducted pastors, the practice of " stated supply," so com- mon in the United States, being regarded by the Presbyterian Church in Canada as unfavourable to the growth and consoliaation of per- manent congregations. Our preaching stations are supplied during the summer season by the theological and literary students of the various colleges in the Dominion— Knox, Queen's, Montreal, Morrin, Halifax and Manitoba, and by catechists or other labourers during the winter months when the students have returned to their respective colleges. Theological students from Princeton, Union, Wooster, the North- West Seminary, and other seminaries in the United States, as well as from the Scottish and Irish theological halls are also employed as occasion demands. Under the care of these committees there are in round numbers 900 preaching or mission stations ; 250 augmented congregations, with 30,000 communicants, 14,500 families and over 50,000 hearers every Lord's Day. Grants of money to mission stations are made from #i to f 4 for each Sabbath supplied, the stations themselves adding to this a sum necessar,y for the support of catechist, student, or ordained missionary as the case may be. Grants of money varying from ^50 to ,^400 are made from the Augmented Fund to weak congregations, but in order to receive any grant whatever, the congregation must give at the rate of ^4.50 per member for the support of ordinances, independent of the grant allowed by the Home Mission Committee. The Students' Missionary Societies of the various theological col- leges also support a number of missionaries in the more remote and destitute localities, in addition to those employed by the Home Mission Committee. The main object of these societies is to carry the Gospel to the more recently and sparsely settled portions of the country. During the summer months student missionaries enter these districts, and stations are established and cared for until strong enough to take their place among the regular mission stations of the Church. Then they pass into the charge of the Presbytery within the bounds of which they are situated, and the societies' missionaries are sent forward into other fields. The work is thus largely of a pioneer kind, but none the less most important. Many fields first occupied by the Students" Mis- sionary Associations are now strong missionary stations or pastoral charges Supply is sometimes given to fields in which there is little prospect of establishing permanent stations, the prosperity of the districts depending almost wholly on lumbering or mining operations. The expenses in connection with the operations of these societies are defrayed by contributions obtained by the missionaries in their respec- tive fields, and by special donations obtained from friends throughout i) 22 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. the Church. The fields generally contribute well, but from the fact that they are handed over to Presbyteries as soon as thfiy become self- sustaining or nearly so, indicate how essential to the prosecution of this work is the liberality of friends outside of the fields. EXPENDITURE. The amount expended annually in the support of mission work and augmented congregations is about $100,000. The sum is small in pro- portion to the work undertaken, and it may be added, in p)roportion to the good results obtained. CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF MISSION STATIONS, In order to secure the more rapid development of mission stations into congregations, and their early settlement as pastoral charges, and also to remedy a defect in the working of such stations, according to which many of them are left without supply during a portion of the year, a Scheme has been instituted for the continuous supply of such stations. It embraces the following points : I. MISSION DISTRICTS. These mission districts are such as Presbyteries have formed in new or necessitous localities, where there is a reasonable prospect of the formation of pastoral charges at an early date. When a Presbytery desires any mission district to be worked under this Scheme, they apply to the Home Mission Committee, accompanying the application with detailed information as to the extent, population, resources, and religious condition of the field. The following is the blank form, which accompanies every application for supply under the provisions of the Scheme. If the answers are satisfactory, an ordained missionary or licentiate is forthwith appointed in terms of the request ; 1. Name or designation of field and its location. 2. Distances apart from Presbyterian Churches nearest to the field. 3. Number and denomination of the Churches in or near the field. 4. Estimated total number of families of all denominations within the range of the field. 5. Number of families professedly Presbyterian. communicants ''■ 6. Number of families not attached to any Church. 7. General character of the field and prospects as to its growth and development. 8. Amount per annum to be raised by the field or provided some ether way in connection with it. 9. Is the field taken up by the Church now for the first time ? 10. If not, how long has it been supplied, and in what way ? 11. Remarks. A period of three months is allowed in v/hich the missionary elect may be in the field on probation before the engagement is considered as completed. This time is, however, considered as part of the two years, if the engagement is finally confirmed. PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 23 II. MISSIONARIES. 1. The missionaries employed in such districts are : (a) Ordained ministers, (b) Licentiates, (c) Students of theology, who may in exceptional cases be engaged in this work, {d) Laymen, whose gift^'for edification have been ascertained to the satisfaction of the Presbytery within whose bounds they are to be employed. 2. The Home Mission 'Committee calls the missionaries to the work, and appoints them to their several fields, with the consent of the Pres- byteries, (a) At the close of each college year, the Home Mission Committee secures the services of as many students as are deemed necessary for the work, (b) Students who have finished their theo- logical studies, may, when employed under this Scheme, be ordained by their Presbyteries as soon as leave is obtained from the Superior Courts, (c) Missionaries are appointed for a term of not less than 18 months, and the appointment may be renewed. III. FINAN'CIAL ARRANGEMENTS. (i) Regular ordained pastors in augmented congregations in country districts, not less than S750 and manse. In towns and cities they may be augmented up to $1,000 and $1,100. (2) Licentiates, $8 and board as the minimum. (3) Students, $7 and board as the minimum. (In Manitoba, $8 and board). {4) Lay Catechists, $450 to $550 per annum, each case being deter- mined very much by the Committee as to the special gifts and qualifica- tions of the individual. The mission field contributes towards the salary of the missionary according to its ability, and the amount contributed in this way is fixed by the Home Mission Committee, in conjunction with the Presbytery. When the contributions from any district exceed the amount promised by that district, the Home Mission Committee may augment the salary of the missionary if the circumstances seem to make such action advis- able, to the extent of one-half the amount of such excess, but the total increase of salary shall not exceed one hundred dollars. i MISCELLANEOUS. In closing this paper, it will be seen that the Presbyterian Church in Canada is] essentially a missionary church, and must of necessity be so for very many years. During the past nineteen years two unions have been effected among the Presbyterians of the Dominion : In 1861, that of the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Churches, under the name of the Canada Presbyterian Church ; and in 1875, that of the Canada Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Sco land ; so that now there is but one Presbyterian Church in the whole Dominion. Such unions must of necessity add to the missionary resources of the Church, and also economize labourers in districts where formerly there were representa- tives of these different Churches. 24 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. FOREIGN MISSIONS. T^Uttttd the past few years, and more especially during the last -^f year or two, there has been manifested a wonderfully quickened interest in this branch of the Church's work. The difficulty has not been to get men and women able and willing to enter upon the service, but to find means wherewith to equip those offering themselves and provide for the necessary outlay involved in opening up new fields or establishing new stations in fields already occupied. In our colleges the missionary spirit has been displayed in the most practical manner. Many students and graduates have signified their readiness "to go whithersoever the Church may send them to publish the glad tidings among those who have never heard the name of Jesus." The missionary societies of Knox College and Queen's College have respectively selected Rev. Jonathan Goforth and the Rev. Jas. F. Smith for the Foreign field and undertaken their support. The services of these brethren have been accepted. On the 20th of October last Mr. Goforth was ordained and designated as missionary to the Province of Honan, North China, and will proceed to his field of labour early in the summer. He will be accompanied by the Rev. Jas. F. Smith, who is completing his medical training ; and in the meantime Mr. Goforth will be employed by the Foreign Mission Committee in visiting congregations and stimu- lating their interest in missions. St. Andrew's Church, Toronto, fol- lowing the example of St. Paul's Church, Montreal, has also offered to support a missionary ; and it is not improbable that the Committee will receive similar offers from other large and wealthy congregations. Formerly the Foreign Missions of the Church were under the direc- tion of two Committees, who carried on their work independently of each other, and made separate reports of their respective fields to the General Assembly. In 1886 these Committees were united; and now there is but one Committee, and one report gives an account of the whole Foreign Mission work in which the Church from the Atlantic to the Pacific is engaged. In all the fields there has been evident progress, although the labours of missionaries and teachers have not been unat- tended with trials, disappointments and afflictions. The Rev. Mr. Annand, who was appointed to the New Hebrides mission in 1872, laboured for four years in Efate with marked success, and in 1876 was transferred to Aneityum, the scene of Dr. Geddie's successful labours. In 1885 he came home on furlough, and after twenty months of effec- tive work in the Assembl/ and among the Churches returned in January last to the New Hebrides. Aneityum being now under the charge of Rev. Mr. Lawrie, of the Free Church of Scotland, Mr. Annand had to seek a new field, and he is now settled in Santo, a large and populous island, on which hitherto missionary effort had no effect. I. THE NEW HEBRIDES MISSION. This, the oldest Canadian mission, was founded forty years ago by the late Dr. John Geddie. His labours and successes were not un- noticed. The churches in Scotland directed their attention to those PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 25 Dark Islands and sent helpers for the work. Those in Australia, New Zealand, Otago and Tasmania saw in their near neigiibourhood a field in which the good seed might be sown. It is now practically a co- operative mission with thirteen missionaries, of whom three have been sent out by the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Missionaries. — (i) Rev. H. A. Robertson, at Eromanga, appointed 1872. (2) " J. W. Mackenzie, at Efate, appomted 1872. (3) " Joseph Annand, at Santo, appointed 1872. Eromanga. — From this island, where at first the most violent and sanguinary opposition was offered to missionaries, and where Williams and Harris and the two Gordons were slain by the cruel and super- stitious natives, we now receive most encouraging reports. Mr. Robertson, who immediately succeeded the martyred James D. Gor- don, has laboured since then with unflagging zeal and with marked success. Twenty -five district schools are maintained in the island; thirty-four native teachers are employed, and five Eromangan teachers are engaged on other islands. Nearly all these teachers are married men, and their wives assist in the work. French aggression has occasioned much anxiety. Settlements were made and a military post was established on the island ; and it seemed as if the annexation of the whole group must inevitably follow. It appears, however, that the danger is less than was at first appiehended. The French cannot stand the climate, and the trade advantages are not sufficient to attract permanent settlement ; but no doubt the aggressive and sinister in- fluence of the Jesuits will continue to be exerted for the promotion and protection of their own missions and to the detriment of ours. The labour traffic is another serious hindrance to missionary and material progress on the islands. Every year a large number of natives are taken away by the Queensland labour vessels. They are not forced but induced to ship by presents to themselves, their relatives and tribes. It is, however, practically a purchase ; and the system is productive of incalculable evil. From a district near Dillon's Bay thirty -one young men and boys were taken away in a batch. All of them were attending school and one was a young teacher. Efate. — The reports from this island are most cheering. A new church (56 ft. X 28 ft.) has been erected at Erakor, the principal station, towards the cost of which the natives contributed about $600. Com- fortable and commodious churches have been erected at other stations by native labour. There are now only two or thr^e heathen villages of any size on the island, and these have evinced a willingness to receive teachers. The wi.ole number of professed Christians was 600 ; church members in good standing, 129; and children attending school, ninety. ) II. WEST INDIES AND DEMERAR.\. Missionaries, — Rev. John Morton at Tunapuna, appointed 1867 ; Joseph Anagee, catechist, and Miss Blackadder, teacher. Rev. K. J. Grant at San Fernando, appointed 1870; G. Sadaphal, catechist, and Miss Copeland, teacher. Rev. Lai Behari at San Fernando; Tilaksing, cate- chist, and J. Corsbie, teacher. 26 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. Missionaries.— Rev. W. L. Macrae at Princeton, appointed 1885: C. C. Soodeen, catechist, Miss Semple and J. Corsbie, teachers. Rev. J. K. Wright at Couva, appointed 1881 ; Miss Archibald, teacher. Rev. J. Hendrie (U. P. Church, Scotland) at St. Joseph. Rev. John Gibson on the N.-W. Coast, Demerara, ap- pointed 1885; Abraham Lincoln, Gilbert Heaver and Thomas Grant, teachers. Trinidad. — This mission was established twenty years ago by the Rev. J. Morton for the evangelization of the Coolies or Hindu labourers in Trinadad and the West Indies. For three years Mr. Morton laboured alone, when he was joined by the Rev. K. J. Grant, and three years later the mission was still further strengthened by the appoint- ment of the Rev. Thomas Christie. There are now seven ordained ministers, one of whom is a native, constituting the Presbytery of Trinidad, aided by a staff ot catechists and teachers. There are 32 schools with 1,675 pupils, the average daily attendance being 1,017. The mission is regarded with much favour by the Government and the proprietors of estates, and has received liberal assistance from both — the former having contributed last year ^846 8s. 6d. and the latter ;^635 towards its support. Demerara. — This mission was started in 1885, when the Rev. John Gibson was appointed to labour among the Coolies of the West Coast. Notwithstanding serious financial hindrances, the mission promises to be successful and useful. According to the last reports there were four schools in operation and thirty-one members were on the communion roll. ^: in. MISSION TO THE INDIANS OF MANITOBA AND THE NORTH-WEST. Missionaries. — Rev. John McKay, Mis-ta not without their parallels to-day. No wonder that scepticism flourishts when it sees the supposed fruits of Christianity ! Oh Saviour Christ ! our wots dispel. For some are sick and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the faith they had ! Political corruption, commercial venality, a lack, in all relations, of con- scientious desire to " do justly, to love mercy," increase naturally with the decrease of living faith, — the failure to "walk humbly with God. ' The selfishness of the riqh, too long indulged, has aroused a counter self- assertion in the poor, who are beginning to claim what they believe to be unjustly withheld. Unless the higher classes soon begin to practise the lessons of the Sermon on the Mount, and "love their neighbiJiirs as themselves," there will ere long 'e a tremendous social conflict, with disaster to all. The powers of evil are strongly entrenched. It is no holiday task for the Church to endeavour to cope with them, to drive out the demons of unbelief, of corruption, of intemperance, of sensuality, of hard cqld worldliness, and establish in their place the reign of the pure and Holy Spirit of light and love. If the aid of that Spirit were not promised, the task would seem impossible ; but icitli that, ' all things are possible ' to a believing Church. There are certain points in which- our Church must be better equipped if she would discharge her serious responsibilities as she might. Let us briefly glance at them. The first and most essential is a more living faith. One thing alone can withstand the present conflict of opinion, the general unsettling of men's minds, and that is the " shield of faith," a realization of the faith we profess, such as enables men to " walk as seeing Him who is invisible, ' ' and to know Whom they have believed. This has a quiet power that is stronger than all argument, which will never truly convince. 2nd. A more earnest and active membership would be the natural result of a more living faith. In the Christian army, all must feel them- selves on active duty. There can be no superannuation and no retire- ment. Each, in the circumstances in which God has placed him or her, can be a witness in some way to the truth — a witness that must have some effect on others. And a warmer zeal will lead men to think, not of their own things only, but also of ' the things of others." They 48 BRESBYTERlAN YEAR BOOK. will esteem it the first of Christian duties to lend a helping hand to those who are less favoured than themselves. They will not build expensive and luxurious temples for themselves, and leave their fellow- worshippers in poor and scattered districts with scarcely the rudest meeting place in which they can gather to hear the Gospel. They will not spend thousands on personal comfort and luxury, and content themselves with throwing their " mite " into the mission treasury of the Church to send the " Bread of Life " to starving millions abroad. They will not think they have done their duty when they have availed themselves of their_ own religious privileges ; but each true Church member will feel that he or she is bound to be a missionary to others, to " rescue the perishing " around them by every means in their power. 3rd. A i idler co-operation with other Christian bodies. The days are past — if they ever existed — when the Christian Church could afford to be divided into a number of semi-hostile camps— each one looking jealously on every advance of the rest. It is time that in the " one army of the living God " the success of each division should be held as the success of all. And the divisions must work together, and economize their forces in the face of a powerful and numerous foe. It is time that we should cease to see half-a-dozen churches crowded within a stone's throw of each other, while large areas of tolerably populous country are left almost churchless, and they who would go up to the house of God must travel many miles to reach it. Only by a generous, hearty co-operation with all other evangelical bodies will- ing to co-operate with us, is it possible for our Church to discharge the duty she owes to our wide and still sparsely settled Dominion. The assimilating influences of Christian brotherly love must overcome the separating force of a narrow sectarianism. 4th. An able and earnest ministry. If there ever was a time when the 'ijurch needed her best men in the ministry, it is the present, when many of the best trained and keenest intellects are putting forth all their f ower to oppose the Gospel of Christ, nay even the very belief in God and immortality. In our universities and theological schools, we have — thanks to the fores.ight of the founders of our Church — the means of equipping our ministers with a thorough intellectual training. But we want more than this. We need, above all things, men of earnest, thoughtful spirit, as well as of intellectual ability, to stand in the forefront o^ the battle. The best intellects, the most thoughtful and earnest minds, should be encouraged to enter the ranks of our ministry. But, in order to do this, there are stumblingblocks to be removed. The rigidity of the Presbyterian Church in laying too much stress on uniformity of opinion, in holding too sternly to a severe scholastic theology, has, in the past, robbed her ministry of many who would have strengthened and adorned it ; and it does so still. Her " old blue flag " and her Westminster Confession have, like the brazen serpent of old, been made a Nehuhstan — a Fetich to which have been sacrificed some of the most precious gifts bestowed on her by her Master to advance the interests of His kingdom. Men have forgotten that her " Confession of Faith " is only a human conception of truth, and therefore inevitably one-sided, and it has been upheld as if almost PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. 49 of Divine authority. It is time that this wrong should be redressed. It is possible for but few minds, in an age which has learned to hold in a larger and fuller sense the love and fatherhood of God, to accept some extreme and hyper-Calvinistic statements embodied in those standards to which candidates for the ministry are still called to yield a formal assent. It may still be possible for some to receive them, but the number of those who can do so is continually growing smaller.

Reformed Church in Austria. — In the Austrian Empire a group of Reformed congregations, locally associated, forms a Senioratus, or Presbytery. The Moderator of the Senioratus is called "Senior," and is elected for six years by the Kirk Sessions of the bounds, but the election must be ratified by the Provincial Government. The Senior has associated with him a Con-Senior, or Vice-Senior, and also- a Senoriate-Curator, or presiding Elder. All the Seniorates of the Province form the Superintcndential-Conventus, or Provincial Synod. The Moderator of this body is called the Superintendent, and is elected for life by the Kirk Sessions of the whole Province, but the election must be confirmed by the Emperor himself. There is a Superinten- dential-Curator, also a Vice-Superintendent, who are appointed for six years by the Provincial Synod. This body meets triennially, and is composed of the Superintendent, the Vice-Superintendent and the Superintendential Curator, the Seniors of the Province, with their cura- tors, and a few delegates, ministers and elders in equal numbers, from the Seniorates. The General Synod represents the whole Reformed Church, for the Government regards the Churches in the Provinces of Austria, Bohemia and Moravia, not as distinct and independent Churches, but as branch organizations in each Province of the one Reformed Church. The General Synod meets every sixth year, and is composed of twenty-three persons — twelve ministers and eleven elders — as follows : — the Superintendent of the Austrian Church (Ger- man), with his Curator ; the Reformed Theological Professor in Vienna \. two Deputies elected by the Provincial Synod of Austria ; the Superin- tendent and four Seniors of the Bohemian Church, with their respective^ Curators ; the Superintendent and two Seniors of the Moravian Church, with their Curators, with the Senior of Galicia and his Curator. Before taking his seat each member must solemnly declare—"/ />roinise in the presence of God, in my capacity as a member of this Synod, to seek the inner and outward icelfare of the Evangelical Church Helvetic Confession, according to my best Judgment and conscience, and to aim at the Church's growing into Him, ivho is the Head— Christ.'' The General Synod is somewhat anomalous in its character. The lay-members, the curators, are elected by the Provincial Syi. jds, but the ecclesiastical members (Superintendents and Seniors) are there in virtue of their office. Should any of these be absent their places are occupied by their respec- tive deputies. The General Synod, while largely an advisory body.. possesses, however, certain powers. If the Government, represented by the Cultus-ministi'rium, has a veto on its actions, the Synod can decline to comply with the wishes of the Government. Thus in 1877 the (Jeneral Synod desired to divide itself into a German General Synod meeting in Vienna, and a Bohemian and Moravian General Synod, with an Oberkirchenrath for itself, meeting in Prague. The Cultus-ministerium vetoed the proposal, which then fell to the ground. At the same meeting the Oberkirchenrath, representing the Cultus- ministerium, proposed a new Book of Discipline. This the Synod <)0 HRKSBVTEKIAN YEAR BOOK. declined to discuss, and so, it in turn fell to the ground. The Genera! Synod can consider all mai ers brought before it by the Provincial Synods, by congregations or by church members. Many of these questions concern polity, as the Church is working her way to a tho- roughly Presbyterian System of (government. Each General Synod elects a Synodal Committee to represent the Church during the ensuing six years, or until the next General Synod. Above this General Synod, or its Synodal Committee, is the Oberkirchcnrath, the medium through which the Cnltus-viitiistenuin deals with the Church. The full title ol this body is, "The Imperial Royal Evangelical Upper Ecclesiastical Council of the Augustine and Helvetic Confessions in Vienna," and, natu- rally, it possesses very great influence in Church matters. All its members are, however, appointed by the Emperor, and as the Church has no voice in their appointment she is now earnestly seeking its abolition. As this Council has to deal with all Protestants, it is divided into two sections, one having charge of matters affecting the Lutheran Church, and the other of matters affecting the Reformed Church. The President of the Council is a layman and is chairman of both sections. The limits and nature of the relations of the Oberkirchen- rath to the Church have not yet been fully defined ; but it may be said, in general, that the Oberkirchenrath represents the Church to the State, and the State to the Church. The State declares its claim in relation to the Church to be simply jus circa sacra, but there is no security against the authorities trespassing //i/m sacra. Sometimes these have done so, though, as magistrates of the State, they have acted illegally in so doing. For instance — a vacant parish elects a pastor. The Senior, the Superintendent and the Oberkirchenrath iDring the election before the Provincial Government. .All of these ecclesiastical authorities approve of the choice, but the veto of the Provincial Government renders the election null and void, and resort must be had to a new election. The Oberkirchenrath may, there- fore, formally appoint pastors to the parishes, but it is the Gov- ernment of Austria that does so actually. The State does not con- sciously interfere in matters of faith, but sometimes the Church regards as a matter of faith that which the State regards as only a matter of outward constitution and administration. Over the Oberkirchenrath is the Cultus-ministeriufii, or that Department of the General Govern- ment of the Empire which takes the oversight of all matters affecting the recognized Churches, concerning itself in the public worship and education— MinistcriunifnrCultus und Untcr,Uht. The phrase " recog- nized Churches" may need explanation. In accordance with the political system of the European (Continent, all societies or associations within a particular kingdom are subject to the supervision of the Gov- ernment and illegal, unless explicitly authorized. Hence religious societies require the sanction of the State before they can exist legally or carry out their special objects. The Austrian Government, which is willing to "recognize" all suitable parties entitled to it, recognizes as Churches with the right of public worship, the Roman Catholic, the Greek Catholic, the Armenian, the Greek Oriental, the Lutheran, the Reformed, the Moravian, the Jewish, and, since the occupation of PKKSBVTERIAN YKAR BOOK. 91 15osnia and Herzegovina, and in the army especially, the Mahomedan faiths. All other denominations are treated, in terms of the Associa- tion Law (Verciusireact), as Societies, and are allowed to hold only private Services. These services may be attended by the police, and can be held legally, except in the case of family worship, only when intimation has been previously given to the authorities. None but adults and invited persons are allowed to attend such meeting ; and the invitations must be given to these individually and by special cards, not by general placards or public notices. Private services can at any time be stopped if no notice has been given previoush' to the magistrate, or if any other requirements of the Association Law have been disregarded. Under the existing laws the amount of religious liberty enjoyed in Austria is not inconsiderable, but its advent is so recent that all the magistrates have not yet realized its presence. The law, indeed, is often better than its practice, so that much depends on the amount of knowledge possessed by an injured party as to the proper mode of obtaining redress. Hitherto the highest Courts in the State have generally sustained the appeals taken against decisions that were not in accordance with the really liberal Association Law. The Reformed Church in the Province of Austria is a German Church, having its congregations in the cities of Vienna, Laybach, Bregenz and Triesti'. TiiK HoHEMi.AN Chikch has four Seniorates— Caslav, Prague, I'odtibrad and Chrudim. It has under its care a college for training teachers, with three professors and forty students. There are also in connexion with it forty-two congregational day-schools, with forty-nine teachers and nearly four thousand pupils. The Moravian Church has two Seniorates — h2astern and Western. The Lord's supper is generally observed four times a year. Thk Hungarian Church has five Superintendencies, or Provin- cial Synods — Trans-Danubian (Komorn), Cis-Danubian (Buda-Pesth), Trans-Theissian (Debreczen), Cis-Theissian (Miskolcz), and the Tran- sylvanian (Klausenberg) — with ministers and elders, members in equal numbers. These Superintendencies are independent o*' each other, and have existed since the Reformation. The Hungarian Church has in connection with its congregations 1,602 elementary day-schools, in which religious instruction is regularly given ; 2,451 teachers with 182,993 pupils In 1882 the Hungarian Church adopted a Constitution by which the General Assembly consists of delegates, 94 being elected by Kirk sessions, and I'l being representatives of the Colleges. All her various office-bearers are now chosen by the people, except the Superin- tendent of Transylvania, who, in virtue of old laws, is appointed by the Emperor. The Austrian Kmperor must still, however, sanction Church legislation before this is valid. Thk Missionary Christian Church of Belgium has three co«s^//s sectionnaircs or Presbyteries meeting in our annual Synod, which is composed of a minister and elder from each congregation, and the members of the ICxecutive Committee. Each pastor or evangelist in charge of a station is also a member of the Synod, but without a vote. No member can take his seat until he has accepted the Belgic Confession 92 PRESHYTEKIAN VKAR HOOK. of Faith. The Synod appoiuts annually an Executive Committee with a General Secretary, to whom is entrusted the oversight of the work of the Church. The Belgian " Union ov Evangelical Congregations " consists of a number of congregations, Walloons, (Jermans and French, and receiving, in part, support from the State. The Walloon Churches. — There are in Holland a number of Walloon Congregations founded by J*rotestants driven from the Wal- loon Provinces of Belgium m the time of Charles V. These congre- gations were assisted for a time by the Huguenots that fled from France on the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The greater part of these, however, ultimately became merged in the Holland population, and have aided in building up the Dutch Reformed Church, so that onl> about seventeen Walloon congregations exist at the present. The Reformed Church of France has twenty-one Provincial Synods, consisting of the ministers and elders of each five Consistories or Presbyteries. According to the Decree of ist December, 1871, re- establishing the Synods of the Reformed Church, each Consistory (Presbytery) was to be represented by one minister and one elder in the Synod of its group. By this Delegated Synod, delegates were to be chosen who should form the National Synod, in the proportion of one delegate to each six pastors. These delegates to be ministers and elders in equal numbers. This National Synod met in 1872 (the last previous Synod had met in i66o. under the presidency of the illustrious Daille, adjourning to meet within three years), when the doctrinal dif- ferences existing in the Church at once led to the formation of two well defined parties — the Liberals and the Evangelicals. As the Lib- eral party does not recognize either the authority or the necessity for the existence of a General Synod {Synod Oj^cielle) such a meeting can- not at present be held. The Evangelical section has therefore organ- ized a system of Syiiodcs Officicnscs, through which the work and over- sight of their congregations are carried on. These Synods have no legal authority, while connection with them or submission to their enactments is entirely voluntary. In the meantime they are rendering invaluable services to the Church, and increasing rapidly in influence and number of members. There are in France 520 Civil parishes, of which it is computed that 380 unite in these Synodes Officicuses, while there are some 120 other congregations, all of which also adhere. The larger number of these latter congregations are aided by the Societe Centrals d' Evangelization. Of the 690 ministers in actual service, about 500 adhere to the Synodes Officicuses. The Free Evangelical Church of Germany consists of a single Presbytery. This is composed of one minister and one elder from each congregation and one elder from the Diaspora, ft meets twice each year, possessing two congregations in Silesia and one in Bohe- mia. This Church is a secession from the State Church of Prussia, that took place in i860. The Bohemian congregation consists chiefly of converted Romanists. The Reformed Synodal Union of the East Rhine consists of one Presbytery, called a Synod. This Bavarian Reformed Synod use.s^ I'KKSBVTHKIAN YEAR HOOK. 93 the Heidelberg Catechism as it;^ Doctrinal Symbol, while the French Churches at Erlangen, Wilhelmsdorf and Schwabach, use in addition the Rochelle Confession and the French Discipline. The names of the Parishes are the French Reformed Church of Erlangen, with annex of German Reformed Church of Erlangen ; Reformed Chiirch of Nurem- berg, with the annex of Schwabach ; Reformed Churches of Baireuth, Gronenbach and Herbishofen in Suabia, and of Marienheim on the Danube. The Waldensian Church consists, strictly speaking, of the seven- teen parishes in the valleys, all the other congregations in Italy being the result of evangelistic work and standing on a dififerent footing. The Synod meets annually in September, and is composed of all the min- isters on the roll, two lay deputies from each of the seventeen parishes and the lay members of the difterent Church Committees. There are no Presbyteries properly so called, but in their place are five District Conferences, held annually in the mission field, with two Free Con- ferences in the valleys. The government of the Church is Presbyterian, there being Sessions, Conferences, Synod or Synodal Commission or Table with the peculiarity that only the male communicants over twenty-five years of age are reckoned as members of the Church. Atten- tion has lately been called to the Reformed Church of the Grisons (Rhetica Confessio, 1558), and more especially to that portion of it which con- sists of Italian congregations. These are six in number, with nearly 3,000 members, and while tracing back their history only to the Refor- mation, yet as the Reformed doctrine came to them not from the Swiss or the German movement, but from the Italian, their sympathies are strongly with the Waldensian Church. Thk Free Christi.an Church in Italy is the fruit of a variety of agencies and labours. It has no Presbyteries, but holds an annual General Assembly composed of from one to three delegates from each congregation. The Christian Refor.med Church of the Netherl.^nds has ♦en Annual Assemblies, or Provincial Synods, with one Triennial General Synod, composed of seventy-four persons — two ministers and two elders from each Assembly and four deputies. The average number of elders, is four in each congregation. The Consistory or Session takes charge also of the temporal affairs of the congregation, one of their number, called the Kerk rand, arts us trustee and takes charge of the church buildings. The Old Reformed Church of Benthei.m and East Fries- land consists of one Presbytery, composed of the minister and elder from each congregation (two elders if there be no pastor). Five of the congregations are in Bentheim and four in East-Friesland. This Church is a secession from the National Church, and is in friendly relations with the Christian Reformed Church, to whose mission agencies it contributes. T»ie Spanish Christian Church has two Presbyteries — Madrid and Seville — with a General Assembly consisting of a Moderator, President, Vice-President, two Vocals and a General Permanent Secretary. i 94 PRESBYTERIAN YEAR BOOK. The Evangelical Church of Neuchatel, independent of the State, has one Synod, or Presbytery, composed of all the professors, pastors and ministers in active work, and three lay delegates for each pastor. Of the forty-five mini,sters on the roll twenty-seven live outside the Cantons. The number of communicants reported (3,335) shows simply the number of male members, and does not include women or the men under t\\ enty-one years of age. The National Evangelical Refokmeu Church of the Canton DE Vaud has eight Conseils d'Arrondissement. or Presbyteries, con- sisting of the pastor and two elected laymen from each parish, and meeting once a year. Each Presbytery elects six laymen and three pastors to form the Synod, which thus consists of seventy-two delegates from the Presbyteries along with the professors of theology and three delegates appointed by the State. The Synod appoints the Synodal Commission, consisting of four laymen and three pastors taken from the members of the Synod, and holding office for three years. The Synod also appoints the Consecration (ordination) Committee consist- ing of fifteen persons, eight being members of the Synod, three being theological professors, and four being appointed by the Government. Each parish has one or more pastors who are appointed by the State out of a list submitted by the congregation. When, through death or otherwise, a parish is without a pastor, or when the existing one is unable to perform his duties, the care of the parish is entrusted to a kind of colleague, who is called a sttffragant. The Free Evangelical Church of the Canton de Vai o has one General Synod, composed of the acting pastors, the five professors of theology, the acting pastors with two elders for each, delegated by the Churches.
