PRAYERS, TO BK USED AT ALL MEBTINOS OP TUB SOCIETY AND Of ITS SEVERAL ASSOCIATIONS. Prevent us, O Loi-d, in all our doings, with Thy rnosV gracious favour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works, begun, continued and ended in Thoc, we may glorify Thy Holy Name ; and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Merciful God, Who hast made all men, and hatost nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live ; have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels and Heretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word, arid so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one Shepherd. Prosper, Lord, the labours of those societies of the Church in the land of our Fathers, which Thou hast deigned to use in the promotion of this object, and which have nourished the Church in the colonies; and bless in like manner with Thy Holy Spirit and Providential succour the Society in whoso cause we are now met, and the undertakings which we have now in hand. " Prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us ; O prosper Thou our handy work," for the sake and through the merits of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Who liveth and roignoth with Theo and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen Our Father, which Jiri, in heaven, llaiiowed bo Tliy iiamt?, Thy Kingdom eonio ; Thy will be done in earth, Afs it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And ibrgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not, into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. For ever and ever. Amot. J • ^■■T THE CHURCH SOCIETY OK TUB DIOCKSIO OF QUKHKC. P A T U N . Hl8 EXCRLLKXCY ThI QOVBIIXOR OlNEniL. PliESIDENT. TiiB RiuHT Rkvkrend tub Lord Biniioi* ok Wukbkc.

From the following comparative statement of voluntary contributions for 1871 and 1872, it will be seen that, though there is a decrease in some of the Funds of the Society, yot the total receipts shew an increase. This is so far satisfactory, but it must be borne in mind that, as last year, the increase is mainly due to several munificent anony- mous contributions for mission work. It is much to be regretted tliat there is a deficiency in the receipts of the General Fund, in comparison with last year, while the claims upon that Fund have considerably increased, in consequence of the Block-grant of tho Venerable Society for Promoting Christian knowledge, for special purposes, having been ex- hausted. Unless a deeper interest is taken in raising subscriptions for the General Fund, during the ensuing year, many very excellent objects, especially that of education in the ])oorer Missions, must remain in abeyance. The attention of the Clergy in the Districts of Gaspo and Megantic is drawn to the absolute necessity of transmitting their annual contributions from their missions to the Trea- surer, before the 31st of December. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT. 1871. 1872. Increase. Decrease. General Fund $1559.26 $1279.75 $270 51 Mission Fund 2718.09 3698.30 $980.23 W. and O.

In referring tho Society to the Reports of tho Diocesan Board and Clergy for an account of Mission work, it is very gratifying to learn that there has been an increase of $980.23 10 in the receipts over last year, which is, however, to be attri- buted to the before-mentioned large anonymous contributions received during the summer. Still the amount is very far from adequate to enable the Society to extend its Missionary operations into the newly opening settlements. Earnest appeals for aid are constantly being made to the Diocesan Board of Missions ; in some instances the Board has been enabled to extend a helping hand, in too many cases it has been found impossible to occupy new ground. The church in this Diocese is in the truest sense of the term " a mission- ary church." In the Eastern Townships, opportunity after opportunity offers itself for advancing the interests of the church. Our Missionaries there are doing their utmost, though labouring under the diflSculties arising from inadequate sti- pends. It is to be hoped, therefore, that better provision will be made for those who go forth to do their Master's work. The Society is justified in calling upon the members of our fold throughout the Diocese at large to strengthen the hands of the Diocesan Board in this respect. There seems to be, however, a worse evil falling upon us than the mere want of money. Earnest heroic men will labour for next to nothing through good report and evil report for Christ Jesus sake, but we have now to deplore the absolute want of men for the Mission Field. Yes, the Church at large and the Church of this Diocese want men. It is perhaps a good sign, in one respect, as it shews that the Church is very rapidly taking up new ground and fulfilling the injunction of Her Divine Head of carrying the Gospel into all lands ; but it should also stir up the members of the Church amongst us to dedicate to the Sacred Ministry the best gifted and wisest of their sons. The harvest truly is plenteous, let us humbly trust that the Lord of the harvest will give heed to the earnest supplications of His Church throughout the world on the Day of Intercession for an increase of the Ministry, and that '* He will send forth more Labourers into His Harvest." It is gratifying to notice that the call for direct assistance to Heathen Missions has been responded to during the year by several of our congregations, a pledge that the Diocese will do its part in support of the work in the new Indian See of Algoma. A column will be re-opened in the next report for subscriptions of this character, in order that all moneys may pass through the hands of the Treasurer. widows' and OaPUANS' FUND. It is much to be regretted that there is a decrease in the voluntary contributions to this fund for the year, but 11 ^ t I fortunately the claims have not equalled the amount of voluntaiy contributions, while the annual interest arising from the capital reaches, according to the present statement, $1,680.70. In consequence of the opinion of the eminent Actuary, A. G. Ramsay, Esq., the pensions have been increased fifty per cent. The Treasurer reports that the following Clergymen have qualified, during the past year, as participants in the benefits of the fund, viz. : Reverend Messrs. Merrick, Smith, Plees, Kemp, Fothergill, Vial, Ross, King, W., Vonlflaand, Burrage, Thompson, Kerr, Lyster, Short, Washer, Richardson, Debbage, Woolrycho, Mathers, Riopel, Foster, Roe, Jenkins, and Boydell. PENSION FUND. The order for a special sermon (not having been obeyed in several congregations) has not very materially increased the amount of this fund. Churchmen must again be reminded that this is the only source from which help can be drawn for those who have worn themselves out in the Ministry. A Missionary Church needs active men, but wo cannot release our aged clergy from their missions unless we can oifer them some means of support. ENDOWMENT FUND. A list of the Rural Endowment Funds, to which, we regret to state, no addition has been made during the year, will be found in the Clergy Trust Account, with the exception of that for Nicolet, which appears in the accounts of the Treasurer of the Society.

During the year aid has been extended to an additional ftchool at East Frampton. From the annexed tabular statement it will be seen that four schools have been vacant, and four others in operation only part of the year, in consequence of the difficulty in securing suitable Teachers.

SECRETARY. The Eevcrend A. J. Woolrycho resigned the office of Secretary of the Church Society in the month of March, in consequence of his leaving the Mission of Levis for that of Stanstead in the Eastern Townships. The following resolution was unanimously adopted : " That the Central Board, in accepting the resignation of the Eoverend A. J. Woolryche as Secretary of the Church Society, desire to assure him of their regret at his departure from the neighborhood of Quebec, and their high sense of his talents and of the character which he has maintained during the seventeen years of his service in the diocese." The Eeverend M. M. Fothergill was unanimously elected Secretary of the Society, in the room of the Eev. A. J. Woolryche,' resigned. LOSSES. The Board regret to place on record the loss which the Society has sustained, during the year, in the removal by death of the Eev. E. Gr. Plees, Incumbent of St. Paul's, who was ever a zealous supporter of the Society, having for twelve years • discharged the duties of Honorary Secretary of the Clergy Trust Committee, and was also, for many years, Inspector of the Schools aided by the Society; also, of William Potry, Esquire, a Vice-President, and who formerly filled the important office of Treasurer, and to the day of his (loath was a liberal supporter of the Church in the Diocese.

FEANCIS DISTRICT ASSOCIATION OP THE INCOllPOllATED CHURCH SOCIETY OF THE DIOCESE 01' ' QUEBEC, For the year ending December, 1872. The Reports of the Clergy furnish the most trustworthy ovidonce of the growth or decline of the Church within tho District. It is to them we must look for information upon the various subjects of Church interest, and if, in some instances, we find drawbacks and hindrances and discourage- ments, and in others brightness and success, let us still be thankful, remembering that the Great Disposer of all events is watching over the most adverse circumstances, and in His own good time will bless the work of His own appointment. On reference to the Clerical Reports, for the closing year, we find a record of two Church consecrations. BROMPTON AND ULVERTON. Christ Church, Brompton, is the first and only Protestant place of worship in the Township. It is a plain, but well proportioned, and very attractive wooden building, 50 ft. x 25 ft. inside, with porch and bell turret, and having sittings provided for 120 persons, ULVERTON. It cannot but be a mutter for congrjitulation to the District of St. Francis that among a people, hitherto strangers to the Church of England, more than ordinary interest has been taken in the erection of this Church, and it is with feelings of satisfaction your Committee arc informed that the people of Sherbrooke and Lennoxvillo aiu clashed among the generous contributors to this object. It was set apart to God's, services, in consecration, by the Lord Bishop on All Saints Day. 17 ) Tlio noxt subjoct ul" intorost to wliit-li our uticntion is (Irawji by tho Re])orts is tho opening and dedication of a now Cliureh at Upper Durham, and a like dedication of a new Church at South Durham, on Thanksgiving Day ; and tho enlargement of a Church, by tho addition of a chancel and Ktaincd windows, in the village of JJoblnson. Cratifying as It mu.st bo to every member of this Associa- tion to hoar that those zealous oll'orts to afford additional Church accommodation have been crowned with success, wo should receive tho intelligence with some degree of humilia- tion when wo learn that two Missions have boon deprived of resident Pastors, while thcro still remains open ground for occupation whore congregations of zealous worshi])pers could bo built up, and this not only from want of means but want of men. it is a melancholy fact that tho Clergy of the Diocese are not e(|ual to its wants, nor tho moans at tho Church's command equal to tho requirements of tho Diocoso ; and on this account the District of St. Francis has to deplore the vacancies of ilereford and Coaticoolc, and tho sparse ministrations attbrded to now settlements. May these sad realities awaken in us faith and prayer, and increased zeal for the prosperity of our Zlon. [f wo may be permitted to regard our Sunday-schools as the nurseries of our future Church members, it will bo pleasing to learn that reference is made to their utility and |«rospority in several of tho Ileports. Tho Piov. n. Eoo speaks of 29 teachers in our five Sunday- schools who deserve every commendation for their unwearied labours. Tho Eev. If. J. Potry mentions a flourishing Sunday-school with a capital library. Tho Ecv. E. A. King, five Sunday-schools. Eev. A. J. Balfour, Ilatley, two Sunday-schools. Eev. Cr. II. Parker, Kingsey, three Sunday-schools, and a very good library. Eev. F. A. Smith, Georgoville, one Sunday-school. Eev. J. lEopburn, Drummondvillo, two Sunday-schools. Those are tho onl}' Sunday-schools mentioned in the Eeports, and your Committee has made allusion to them only because they havo been referred to as doing a good work ; but we are not to suppose any Church in tho District is wanting in Sundaj'-schools. 2 IS Ono^inoro Hiibjoct ap])cars to claim our attention,— it is the comparatively now featuro of adding to the Church'H fmuU by Missionary 13oxcs. In Shorbrooko tlio sum of $18 was collected for tlio Society by Missionary lioxcf, oiitriistod to Sunday-scbool cliildren. In Durliam, the sum of 846.00 was collected, in amounts varying from SI (o $15, by Missionary J5oxcs, kindly made and presented by Mr. Arniino NicoUs. Edward Cui.len Paiikin. Secretary St. Francis District Association. ANNUAL JIKPOIJT or TIIK D I C E S A N 15 A K D TO Til 10 ClIIJlKMr SOCIKTV, FOU 1872. In present iiii^ its iloport for the year 1872, the Diocesaa Board has much pleasure in stating that, whereas at the close of 1871 the Revenue Account exhibited a debtor balance of $341.94, the close of the past year leaves it in possession of a surplus of S900. This agreeable fact may, at first siglit, seem to conflict very strongly with the estimate of its Eevcnuo Account for 1872, submitted by your Board in the last Report, by which a deficit of $8G9.98 was shown. But this discrepancy is seen at onco to bo merely ai)parent, when it is known that the Diocesan Board has received from the Mission Fund of your Society no less a sum than $4,2.58.13, being 81,44G in excess of the amount received in 1871, and $2,27G, or more than double the amount subscribed in 1870 ; whilst it is also to be borne in mind tliut funds have also accumulated from vacancies in a numljor of Missions. Indeed, had it not been for these two causes the estimate referred to would have lain open to the charge of bearing too favourable an aspect, and in reality a much greater deticieney than was anticipated would have been announced. This will bo made clear from the following abstract of the Iiovcnue Account for the past year : so Vr. Cr.. Htipi'iulrt i)fti(l $i8470 81 1 ItyftHHi'MsnifntH received .

This amount •will bo at once jtaid to tho Clci'gy in accordance with a scheme of distribution similar to that adopted in past years. But while your Board would venture to express the hope that none of those who havo recently come to its assistance, and so liberally given of their substance, for the cause ot' Christ and His Church, will make an}' reduction in their subscriptions for tho future ; and while, on the conti'ary, it is earnestly to bo wished tliat tho example may bear fruit far and wide ; yet, from a practical point of view, tho convic- tion cannot be avoided that it wotikl bo extremely liazardous to count upon a continuance of aid from this source to the same degree. It must be borne in mind that tho greater part of the subscri2)tions to the Mission Fund during the past year have been of a special nature — given to meet a special want — and in many cases from special and personal circum- stances. »' . -; i. o 21 I f 111 1S71 lliiTo woro .'J2 Missions receiving; aid iVoiii Iho J)i()C'osan Itonnl.

The Mission of the Peninsula and Cirando (Ireve, ((laspe,) has been unite<l to Malhaie, and the whole placed under the care of the I'ev. K. Mathers, a temporary arrangement, which entails much additional labour upon the Missionary, but the only feasible one under the present scurcity of Cleri^y. This want of men for the work of tlio Ministry in the Missionary liehls of the Diocese has been alluded to in former Jteports to the Church Society, and seems to press with greater force every year. There are now three Missions in the Diocese without Clergymen, because there are none to 1^0 had, and a fourth whose Incumbent, from advanced age, asks ibr an assistant and offers to pay his stipend, cannot bo Hupplied. l3ut, as is well known, this is not the only Diocese wliicli suffers from this cause. The Bishops in othci parts of the Dominion are calling for labourers, and calling in vain. The want, in fact, is so widespread as to be felt in the Missionary field throughout the whole world. That this great evil — operating so long as it exists as a check to the progress of Christ's kingdom on earth — is due to more than one cause, is, no doubt, the simple truth; but among them, not to rank as one of the greatest, perhaps the very chief, the scant}' stipends provided for the Clergy would be to exhibit a want of reflection on the subject. When wo consider that the Clergy aro very properly required to bo men of education, and consequently of a corresponding degree of refinement, and that they have to meet some expenses peculiar to their calling, when wo look at the universal spread of science throughout the world, and its application to the varied wants and capaciticb of man, which infects all classes with a taste for luxury, the effects <of these refined tastes upon the price of labour of all kind* '?9 and the liigli remuneration paid for oven unskilled labour, when men further reflect upon the discomforts and hard- ships in Avhich a Cler<,^yman involves his family, under the in-esent average income, not to speak of the time wasted and the toil endured in the manual labours he is obliged to perform, can wo wonder if there arc few who possess that burning zeal and spirit of self-denial necessary to overlook such considerations as those, and offer themselves for the Avork of Missionaries ? That the cost of living has very much increased of lale years is universally acknowledged. The pressure this occa- sions upon limited incomes is leading to a movement for increasing the salaries of officers under the Civil Government, and steps are also being taken in other Dioceses to raise the stipends of the Clergy. The annual bonus, which the Ciiurch Society has enabled the Diocesan Eoard to pay for the last three years to the Clergy of this Diocese, has hitherto been the only mode by which effect could be given to your desire for an ameliora- tion of their condition, and so far as it went it has doubtless been appreciated as a wise and salutary measure of relief. But your Board feel that the time has arrived when a more permanent and certain system of increase, of a more complete and liberal character, should take the place of these temporary gratuities. Your Board, therefore, recently adopt- ed the report of a Committee recommending that the scale of payments, embodied in the IXth Canon of Synod and Xnith Art. of Church Society, be repealed, and another sub- stituted of a nature more adequate to existing wants and more just to the Clergy of our own Diocese. The recommendations of the Eeport in question will be submitted to the Church Society at the present meeting, in order that action may be taken to give effect to the proposed scheme. Notwithstanding that the Diocesan Board has been in operation over eleven years, some misapprehension is still found to exist as to the details by which its work is carried on. An abstract of its Rules and Regulations on certain important points, containing much necessary information for the Clergy and congregations connected Avith it, has there- fore been recently circulated, with the recommendation of the Lord Bishop that a copy be affixed to every Church door. During the past year the following appointments have been made by the Lord Bishop, and concurred in b)' the Board : , > L « 23 t 111 tlio month of Januiiiy, the Ecv. A. J.

I thankfully record it, that I liavc been pcrmittecl to see some fruits of my ministry. In Shipton, tho Congre- gation attending St. Augustine's Church has trebled in numbers ; there is also a flourishing Sunday-school, possess- ing a capital Library of interesting books. It must be remembered that the growth of tho Church in a district like this cannot be very rapid, though it be sure. It is, at present, the little leaven which, in time, I hope maj- leaven the whole lump. The wonder is that tho Church ever found a foothold in this place at all, and a still greater wonder that she kept it. In this little village, whoso corjioration limits are a mile square, we have seven denominations. The majority of our members do not live in Danville; in fact, within the corporation limits, we have not half a dozen bo?id fide church families; tho congregation is principally made up of farmer's families who live miles away. Most of our men of substance and property are members of other christian bodies ; our people, on the whole, arc not well off. In the Tingwick settlement there is but one place of worship, namely, our own; the congregation, of course, is twice that of Danville; in fact, Tingwick, with the borders of Warwick and Artha- baska, should form a distinct Mission; there are more Church families in this section than are comprised in two or three other missions which I could name, put together. The work L^re is growing too much for one man, — every year I feel the deepening necessity either for a regular sub-division of this overgrown mission, or for the aid of a coadjutor. Shipton alone is c^uite enough to give plenty of employment to any one man, and I hope tho day is not far distant when Tingwick will have its own resident Clergyman. Since my last report the services have been uninterrupt- edly rendered in each mission. During the spring, for fivo consecutive Sundays tho roads were so bad, that rather than run tho risk of breaking the legs of my venerable and faithful mare, I hired a carter to drive me out to Tingwick Church, eight miles distant. During the summer months, and until tho roads broke up. I held a School-house mission service every fortnight, on a Friday evening, seven miles away, on the Felkirk road. Always after service a confirmation lecture was given to t * 25 • ^ I s •-< ■' t candidiitcs for that apostolic rite ; ^vo expect tlic Bishop tliis winter, and are consequently busy with our young people. In most cases I. have to visit the candidates at their own houses; they live at such distances f'-om Danville, and so isolated from each other, that it becomes necessary to see them separately, or not see them at all. With regard to domiciliary visiting, one of the most impor- tant features in a Pastor's work, — of course, the aged, the sick, and the intirm have the first claims upon my time, — but I aim, in addition, to make the grand rounds of the mission, (in area 400 square miles) four times a year; once a quarter. With regard to cases of sickness, I am anxious to impress upon my people the necessity as well as the justice of personally letting mo know, instead of, as is generally the case, taking it for granted that some how or other I will hear of it. 1 have rejieatcdly informed my flock that I am ready and willing, by night or by day, to attend to cases of emergency if only they will take the trouble, as they are jjassing my door for the Doctor, to stop a moment and let mo know. I presume that in most parishes matters in this particular respect are the same. I am glad to say that my people are going to bestir them- selves earnestly in the matter of a Parsonage, which is sadly needed. The cottage in which we have resided for the j^ast seven years, and which has received no repairs for the last twenty years, is beginning to show signs of general demora- lization, and as its numerous proprietors decline to sjiend anything on the "old thing," as they call it, it becomes imperatively necessary to take steps for the erection of a Parsonage. The two Missions will be thoi'oughly canvassed first, and then our friends outside will be modestly solicited to aid us. Many are surprised we continue to live in a house which, in addition to its increasing delapidation, is daily becoming more unpleasant, if not unwholesome, from defective drainage and bad smells ; during the spring the cellar is simply a swamp ; but avc cannot help ourselves ; there are no houses to let, and we must do our best in the hope of being bettered before long. I have to thank Messrs. Wm. Kobcrtson and David Thurber, of Tingwick, as also Messrs. Charles Thurber and Simeon Glidden, of Shipton, for their truly valuable services as Wardens. My Eegisters for the year ending November 30th, 1872, exhibit the following statistics :— 26 Tingwick : Burials 2 Baptisms 19 Marriages. 3 Danville : Burials 2 B;ii)tisms K' ^Marriages.

In sending the report for this Mission for the year which is drawing to a close, there are two things of special interest and satisfaction to ourselves. One, the possessing a tolerably fair Sunday-school and Parish Library, or Libraries, as they are quite distinct from each other — and another, the having obtained a Harmonium for the Church, especially as both the Library and Instrument were much needed. Early in the present year we had a very successful Parish gathering, when the idea of having a Library was suggested, certainly with some doubts as to whether it were not too visionary, which doubts were soon removed, as the idea was at once taken up and quickly carried out. Two of the people took the matter in hand and in a few days got together between tifty and sixty dollars amongst themselves. A Sunday- school Library was at once purchased, and a number of books were ordered from England for the Adult Library, and in the month of August were placed in the Church for the use of the people. There are in all, in the Adult Library, some sixty volumes, and judging from the eager way in which they are sought after and read, arc not a little appreciated. The Harmonium, so much needed, we owe to the exertions of the Misses Cox, who took it in hand from the first and have succeeded in securing one. It was purchased in Quebec at a cost of S140, of which between twenty and thirty dollars remain yet to bo made up. It is to oe placed in the Church for Christmas Day, Outwardly and materially there is cause for satisfaction and thankfulness. Of the inw\ard life, the spiritual state, one can only hope. The Congregations have been much as in former years, usually firm and attentive, and one can only •» ! I • 27 hope that the teaching, weak though it bo, will not bo altogether without fruit. By the Ivlrul assistance of some ladies in the Mission, I have boon enabled to carry on three small Sunday-schools in ditferent parts of the Mission through the summer, and hope to continue them jiartially through the Aviiitcr.

In last report tho debt on the Mission, with sum required for completing one of the Churches, was stated as at least $2700, and tho belief was expressed that the end of the present Christian year would testify to much having been done. In redemption, therefore, of that pledge, made in behalf of the Mission, it must bo stated that the Church at L'Avcnir has been restor- ed and consecrated. Tho new brick Church at Upper Durham has been finished and dedicated. The debt upon it (assumed by tho people) has boon much reduced by additional subscriptions — $300 coming in equal sums from but six families. By what are termed "socials" and other entertain- ments were realized $260 for cabinet-organ and Building Fund. At South Durham a tliird Church, similar to tho one at Upper Durham, and, like it, costing about $2500, was formally opened on Thanksgiving Day. The funds for completing it had been obtained by most generous contributions from 28 abroad, us follows ; Quebec, $215 ; Sliorbrooke, $50 ; JJich- mond and Melbourne, $40 ; Drummondvillc, $25 ; Bishop's College, $10 ; Messrs. Gardner Stevens, $20; AVm. Mountain, $5; Thos. McFadden, $2; with additional subscriptions and work from the people themselves. Promises have also been maJo in reference to the still remaininij;' debt of about $800. The seats in all three Churches are free and unappropriated. On Dominion Day preparations were made to i^ive a parochial welcome to the Ucv. Mr. Carr (on a visit to his former parish), and also to give holiday-pleasure to the English lads from Industrial Schools ; but, unfortunately, were rendered almost fruitless by unpropitious weather.

That the Church is growing in the aflbctions of the people, and taking deeper root in the land, is evinced by the erection of handsome edifices for divine worship, and by the willing and hearty co-operation of the laity with the clergyman in all good works. Hero allusion is in particular made to those who act as organists for the various congregations, and also to all those who are unwearied in hospitality and kindness towards the Incumbent. Ernest Aua.

Upon the departure of Mr. Allnatt to Labrador, i was appointed to fill his place for the time, and on August 2nd 1 b \gan lay duties. It is with great pleasure that I testify to the great affection of every member of the church for my predecessor.

His plan of 01 " I • working the parish coinmendcd itaolf to nic, aud I am cndcuvouring to carry on Avhat ho began so succossfully, fooling assured that I cannot improve upon it. Services arc held at the Parisli Cliurch Sunday morning and evening, chief holidays, and during Advent and Lent on week days. There are two Sunday-Bchools, respectively six and four miles distant from the I'arish Church, which I take charge of on aUcrnnte Sundays, one of which, in my absence, is ])residcd over by Mr. Donald Sutherland ; but the other, from Avant of teachers, is vacant. At these stations catechetical instruction is given, in addition to the usual afternoon services, and old as well as young attend them. Throe other schools arc kindly provided for each week by Mrs. (iill. Miss Watts and Miss "Millar. All the scholars from the diilcront schools are brought together to the Parish Church ^on the last Sunday in tho month, to be publicly calechized at a special service held at 2.15 p.m. Holy Communion is administered on the first Sunday in each month, Christmas, Easter and Whit-Sunday.

In prosontin/,' tlio report for this year, I Imvo nothing ex- traordinary to rohito, except it bo the movement among- the French Canadians. To mo it ajjpears wonderful to yeo liow the Avord of God is ojicning their minds to the ])erccj>!.ion of the truth as it is in Jesus. Where Iho soil to all nppt aranco was but an arid plain, without any pro luclivc posvoi', wo find plants of Heavenly growth.

It was said of tho .Tows in Jkreu that they were moro noble than tjiose in Thessalonica, in that they received the woi'd with all readiness of mint!, and searched the scriptures tlail}' whether those things spoken of by the A])ostles were so, and really it is a noble sight to see at our meetings the ^;criptures searched diligently. In this way the hearts of our French brethren are warmed and their faith confirmed — and they are ready always to give an answer to every man that askcth them a reason of tho liope that is in them with meekness and fear. And as they are zealous, in what to them is the noAV way, opportunities arc not Avanting for them to infuse some of the good leaven into the minds of their neighbours. In any case, duties arc ours and the conscfpiences belong to Cod ; and to try and (jucll this movement towards the light Avould bo lighting against (iod. If it is necessary to show more tangible proofs of the progj'css of the work of the Cospol, I rejoice in being able to state that I hiixo now ten rctrular communicants of French O extractioji. Last summer, as our mclodeon in tho Church had been injured in various wa^'s, it Avas decided to make an exchange, and Ave have now one of Estey's make, Avorth over $400. I am thankf'al to say that tlio attendance at tho Church services is gradually becoming greater, and the prospects are that it Avill continue to improvx^ as the GlasgoAV company that purchased the mines in the vicinity of tho village lia\'0 commenced Avorking them, though it bo on a very small scale.

L. Chapman. IIATLKY ANb WATKIlVll-f.E. Ijittlo moi'e than nine months have elapsed since my appointment to this Mission : this report will thcreforo extend over but that ])criod. ThocoMgre<ijationof St. James', llatley, had unhappily been williOvi iho ministrations of tho Church for tho ten months iu\mediately preceding my arrival. And during that interim an event occurred which well nigli disheartened some of the already- much grieved jjarishioners. A tornado in its narrow but extendotl ])athway of destruction blow to tho ground tho lofty spire and entire Western end of the parish Church, leaving the interior wholly exposed, to tho very chancel. In this sad condition it remained for some length of time. "\Vo havo now, however, without seeking extraneous aid, sncccoded in repairing tho liuilding, so far as intended, at a cost of little more than ^.300, of which about $dO yet remains to be paid. To paint and otherwise render it more worthy of being what it is called will necessitate tho expenditure of at leact $300 more. This wo hope in time to accomplish, Our congiega- 80 tions here have been called large, having averaged during the enmrner 71, during the autumn 60. The introduction of Hymns A & M., our weekly Church practices, the circulation of many Prayer and Hymn-Books, with the constant endeavour to make the singing us congre- gational and the responding as general as possible, have, I think, tended to add life and heartiness to our service. Would indeed very much that I could give a like favour- able report as to the number of communicants. ]S"()r can I attribute the fewness of the number to the greater frequency with which the Blessed Sacrament is now administered than heretofore. May God so bless my endeavours that J may be enabled to report differently next j^ear. In Waterville, though really smaller, the congregations are larger in proportion to the Church pojiulation than in Hatley. The appreciation here shown for the services of the Sanctuary and the devotion and heartiness manifested during them are gratifying to witness. Within the past six months each congregaiion has lost one of its most valuable and esteemed members ; each has left a blank which will long be felt. With the kind assistance of four teachers, two Sunday- schools have been maintained, one in connection with either Church, and each has been superintended by myself. In the autumn a Sunday-school fete was held, which was a source of much pleasure, not to children only, but to their parents and others as well. Two confirmation classes are held. But owing to the distance at which they reside from the Church, most of the candidates for confirmation have to be visited and instructed at their own homes. During the past nine months Divine Service has been held regularly on Sundays and chief Holidays, at Hatley and Waterville, and occasionally elsewhere, 92 times in all. Soon ufter my arrival, I proposed to hold a third service consecutively at the village of West Hatley and two other outposts, but my offer met with no encouragement whatever. Wrong perhaps it was to wait for it, but a mistaken pre- judice against the Church being the chief obstacle, I thought a little time might be well improved in trying to overcome it ; during the summer it was so made use of, chiefly through the sick room. In the autumn, a Sunday evening service was appointed in the village of West Hatley (as yet held but fortnightly) and thus far the attendance thereupon has been large and regular, there having been at no time less than 37 forty of a congregation. To bo sure foiir-fiftlis of them do not even profess to belong to the Church, nor follow the service. But with God's blessing upon our labours, better things may be expected. A School-house was at first selected in which to worship, but a Union Church having been oifcred, it was accepted in preference. The Holy Communion has been administered once a month in St. James', Ilatley, and St. John's, Waterville, and five times privately. Marriages, 3 ; l>aptisins, 9 ; Burials, 13 ; Parochial Yisits, 4S2.

The Mission of Stanstead was re-opened in May last. The members of the Church of England constitute a very small community. I notice, however, an increase, as well in number as" regularity, of attendance at our Sunday services. The members of our choir are meritoriously unremitting in the discharge of their voluntary duties. I desire to record that I have received nothing but uniform kindness and thoughtful consideration since my appointment to this charge. In addition to acts of substantial kindness to myself, the congregation have recently raised $100 towards furnish- ing the chancel, besides making alterations within the Church, which it is hoped will conduce to the due and orderly performance of Divine "Worship. I deem it a duty to state that it is impossible for a clergy- man with a family to secure hero the necessaries of life on the allowance made by the Diocesan Board, viz., $600 per annum. 38 Amounts raised for CJiurch purposes in llie Mission of Stanstcad, for 1872.

GEOIIGEVILLE. in endeavouring to comply with tlie Society's rule, and at the close of the year to send you a report of the state and prospects of the Church in this Mission, 1 cannot speak of any extraordinary ])rogress which has been made, or very striking events which have occurred, to vary the sanicnes's of Clerical duty in a quiet and secluded country place. I may mention, however, as something worthy of being recorded, that during the month of Juno we were favoured with a visit from the Bishop. The pr'^.sencc of his Lordship was quite a remarkable occurrence in the quaint and rather sleepy little village of Georgcvillc, and in the evening a number were attracted to the Church to witness the solemn rite of Confirmation and to hear the Bishop's .address upon the work of the Church in her foreign Missions. At the close of the meeting a tolerable collection was taken up and after- Avards remitted to the Treasurer of the S. P. G. to aid the work in the South Sea Islands, with which the lionoured name of Bishop Patteson will bo ever associated. One of those upon whom his Lordship laid hands wan an elderly and respectable member of our community who, like so many in these townships, had lived for years unbaptized. He was, however, admitted to the Church by Holy Baptism during the incumbency of my predecessor, and together Avith his wife, who had previously been a Congregationalist, came forwai'd for confirmation On the first opportunity they joined. I am glad to say, the number of our communicants. A little later in the season, much to our gratification, the Bishop of New Hampshire preached for us on tiie Lord's Day a sermon not soon to be forgotten. Our Church edifice is still, I grieve to say, in debt and unfinished, although owing chiefly to the kindness and 39 liberality of friends of llio good ciiuso in Quebec, Montreal and Toronto, I have rodnccd tlio del)t from 01000 to $800. Our ladies are now busily ut work with a view to a bazaar at Christmas time still further to lessen that formidable debt. The number of summer visitors attracted by the beauty of our scenery has been larger this year than previously, and ■vviii 1st they were amongst us our 'congregation was visibly increased. Our Sunday-school is better attended th;in formorly, and a pic-nic at the base of the romantic Owl's Head j\[oantain, was a great gratification lo the children attending it. Of ditiiculties and discouragements we have, I believe, our full share. The abounding irreligion, indeed, I may sav heathenism, is truly disheartening'. Yet tlioro are a few at least to whom Christ is precious and who love His Church and her ministrations; thus wo venture to hope for better and brighter days. i^emittcd to Ireasurer : Proceeds of sermon for Mi;-^ion Fund $ 5.00 Collected on Thanksgiving Day for Widows' and Orphans' Fund l.QO $6.00 Frederick A.

In Bending my report to the Socictj-, of Church work in this Mission I feel very thankful to Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, that I am able to speak of progress made (material and spiritual) since last year. The people of Magog as c. class are unable to boast of wealth, nearly all here have as mi^ch as they can do to make a decent living and so make both ends meet. Nor does our village at present, althouo-h possessing a first class water power, resound with the clang of busy industry, which goes to make other towns and Mis- sions prosperous, and which further helps men not a little to point to well built and well filled Churches, the results of a short period of labour. But what we as a Church have in Magog we owe partly to the generosity of able and noble, minded Churchmen living in our larger towns and cities, and partly to the gifts of the villagers, who have given to the best of their ability out of their poverty; our's is the fruit of faith, prayer, patience and perseverance Three years ago 1 came to Magog, it was then, comparatively 40 I ^ p. speuking, a new Mission. There was then no Church building hero, and but few representatives of our cause, the groat majority of the people wore then, and are still, dissent- ers. For eighteen months, through two cold winters, we carried on our work in the dclapidatcd and very uncomfort- able school-house of the village, where I had actually to stuif the holes in the floor with rags in order to keep oiit the cold winds. In this way we conducted our services and so kept our own Church jjcople together and steadily added recruits to our numbers from the people of the place, and by degrees we felt our way to begin the erection of a suit- able house of God, in which to worship him more decently and in better order. In my last rcjiort I sjjoke of our little Church being in an •unfinished condition, unplastcrcd and unpaintcd. This year the people set to work to com])lete the building, some gave money, others materials and their labour, with which we built a neat porch to our front door, and a snug little vestry on to one side of the chancel ; this work cost us 8130. We have painted the Church outside a light stone colour. Inside the walls are nicely plastered ; our open roof, which is ceiled and paneled with well seasoned spruce boards, and all the other wood work of the Church has been nicely stained and varnished. The plastering and painting cost us a sum of $220. So that we have had to raise $350. To make this sum up we were compelled to borrow $100 for 6 months at 8 per cent per annum, which leaves us with a finished Church and a hundred dollar debt. "We hope to be able to clear off this debt sometime during this winter, for we have nearly one half of the sum promised. I am very eager to present the Church to the Bishop as soon as possible for consecration. ISText year we hope to be able to build a tower and sjDire ; a member of the Church who has lately made a little money by the invention of a crushing mill has promised to give us a good bell whenever we are ready with a place to hang it in. In the month of June last the Bishop, with Mrs. Williams, paid a visit to our Mission, and a most interesting time it waa for the people. Mrs. Williams in visiting the people at their homes has left behind her many good impressions, and the people now speak of "the kindly manner of the Bishop's lady." On the Sunday of the Bishop's visit we held services in our Church. In the morning the Bishop received into the Ark of Christ's Church through the waters of Baptism, three infants and three Sunday-school scholars, the latter » » » * » • » » • • « t • • 41 some of the fruits of a three years Mission. There were nine candidates for Confirmation, eight of tliem remained to the Holy Communion. The whole service was very impressive, our crowded Church, the Bishop's earnest manner, his soul- stirring and simple sermon and address to the Candidates, Avill not soon be forgotten by the people of this part of the great harvest field of Our Lord. Since our Church has been finished there is a marked increase in the size of our Congregations, and a greater interest displayed in our work by all parties. The people have now a confortable Church to worship in, a Church whose seats are free to all comers, for my own idea is that the house of God should be free. Wo have a collec- tion made after each service on Sundays and week days. I am pleased to say that the people are beginning to value the opportunity thus aflbrded them for helping on the work of God. Our Sunday-school, still the only one in the village, is well attended, and the children are great helpers in all Church work. I have the promise of three stained glass windows for the Chancel whenever our Church is thoroughly completed and out of debt. It is needless, perhaps, to saj-- that the future success of this Mission will depend entirely upon the ability of the society to give these people regular and frequent services. At present we hold morning and evening service in the village, with Sunday-school in the afternoon, and a service on Saints-days in the evening, and a service every Wednesday evening, with a choir practice afterwards. The following amounts have been collected in the Mission since advent Sunday, 1871. It will be seen that as yet we have been unable to do anything towards objects outside the Mission, this arises not from unwillingness, but from sheer inability; however, perhaps next year will see us in a more flourishing condition.

I am Ihanlvful to bo nblo to communiciitc to youi- Society that tho year of 1S72 has been marked by many outward tokens of a growing- interest in tlio ^vork of the Churcli. Tho Church attendance at tlic various stations in this Mission has been reguKar, and in respect of numbers good. On tlio 30th of Juno hist the Lord Eisliop of tlio Dioccso hekl a confirmation in the vilhigo Church of St. Paul's, when tliirty-one candidates -were confirmed, three adult persons having been previously baptized. The preparation of tlicse candidates for this Apostolic rilo afforded mo great pleasure, manifesting as they did an eager desire to understand, and readiness to converse about tlio things Avhich concern their peace. I liavo endeavoured to supplement these meetings by tho Bible Class, wliich still continues (to some extent 1 trust) to be a source of profit and pleasure to both Pastor and people. With regard to the temporal interests of tho Church in this Mission, I am happy to bo able to state that there is an increasing desire and corresponding effort upon the part of tho various congregations "gladly to give of that littlo " which, as a rule, thoy possess. The accompanying statement is perhaps the best cvulenco that I can adduce in support of this, tho sum of §755.50 having been raised in tho whole Mission since January 1st, 1872. A chancel has been erected, and is now ncarl}- complete, to satisfy tho increasing demands for church room. Tho *' lovers of tho beautiful " among tho congregation of St. Paul have subscribed tho sum of $50 to buy stained windows for the chancel. Those windows have just arrived, and wo hope shortly to see them adding to tho beauty of tho House of God. But while thero aro not w^anting many pleasing evidences of progress and interest, there is still much to engage tho heart and mind of every lover of the Church. Nor must wo lose sight of the fact that wo fall very far short of attaining to the measure which tho pious Israelite of old considered the least which ho could offer as a fitting tribute of love and thanksgiving to his God. Adjoined is a uvbular statement of all moneys raised in tho ]N[ission, by the respective congregations, from January 1st, 1872, to December Ist, 1872. • <r i 43 . . • <r « • Assefismeut of Diocesan Bo.'ivd.

GOOKSIIIRE, EATON. In reporting, for the information of the Church Society, the state of the Church in this Mission, I should pcrha2)S state all that I can do by saying that with one or two unavoidable cxccijtions the services of the Church have been regularly held and well attended ; but as I believe some account of outside Missionary work may bo interesting, I beg to make a short reference to it. In the early part of the present year I addressed a letter to the Church Society and to the Diocesan Board representing the necessity which existed of supplying the Townships of Newport and Ditton with a settled pastor, but unfortunate!}^ for the people, two obstacles presented themselves, viz. : The want of means and of men. 44 With this reply from the Church Society and Diocesan Board, I was requostod to continue my ministrations to tiioso pcoiilo as my liealth would ])ermit, and i have endeavoured to do so. There is a good deal of hardship attending these duties for a man of my ago, c. g. the last time I went out 1 drove 20 miles, and arriving at my lodgings had to light my own fire before disrobing myself All my betiding in the house was frozen together, and as I had a j<mrney of eight miles further to go, I hung it around the stove, to air for mj- return ; in the evening. I proceeded on my jonrney, had a service; returned, and passed my lodgings a mile, had an evening service and then returned to my abode, replenished my lire, made my bed, partoolv of my home-prepared meal, and retired to rest, in the morning I liad to repeat the operation of making my firo, and getting my own bi-eakfast. It is always a source of comfort to me to know that my ministrations arc received with thankfulness and vci-y greatly appreciated, and 1 Iiavo reason to hope the}- are received with profit. Upon more than one occasion it has been my happy lot to administer comfort to the distressed, and I believe the visits of a clergy- man tend more than any other circumstance to make these people reconciled to their isolated homes. They invariably bring their Bibles and Prayer Books to the services, and respond heartily in the prayers. Edward Cullen Parkin. valcartiek. I have nothing of particular interest to report from this Mission for the year 1872. The attendance at Church has been, on the average, not so steady as it was last year. A good attendance is satisfactory and encouraging, but no proof of ^jrosperity in religion if it be not accompanied by a visible devotional zeal and hearty readiness to answer every call of religious duty, not grudgingly or of necessity, as if counting the cost, but with a cheerful and ready mind. Religion prospers where our j.-^oplo take an interest in the house of God, not as visitors, but co-vrorkers spending a. id bc'ng spent; where the Holy Table is habitually frequented, the temple service heartily rendered, not fitfully listened to, and the temple itself with access to it kept decently and in order ; where tho parsonage house with its surroundings is kept comfortable and provided with all necessary requirements ; where brotherly love and good fellowship prevail throughout the congregation; where these things are visible and abound ■$ m 45 thoro is religious life and growth, tlio condition and prospects of such jiarish or mission is hopeful. Measuring my Report by this standard I cannot be boastful. Wo have regularly paid our quarterly assessment when due ; and separated the sanctuary from the chancel by railing. In this latter work I was assisted chiefly by personal friends at Lachino ; in other pecuniary efforts it has been with us a day of small things.

EAST FILVMPTON. As there arc two distinct congregations in this Mission, Standon and Ilem^son, I will treat of them separately. Stan- don being the more distant (some forty-four miles) from Quebec, will bo noticed first. Hero were I to consult merely my own feelings, silence would be my motto, for where there is not much of an encouraging nature to write about, I would rather bo mute ; but this mode would not have the effect of meeting what is required of mo, so I will go on. First, then, the Church of the Epiphany, Standon, is steadily being depopulated of church members. Since I came here, now a little over three years, no fewer than six families of our better-to-do farmers and pew-holders have left the country altogether. At this present moment there are five more farms, owned by pew-holders, offered for sale, which as soon as effected they leave the ooyntr}^ also. Moreover, since I was placed in charge of this Mission, I have married some three or four couple at this station, but they have all, with the exception of one couple, as soon as married left the place to seek their fortunes in other climes. Enough has been stated to show that the prospects of this congregation are anything but flattering. In fact, if that moving propensity n the inhabitants of Standon is not soon checked, and I see ■ : 40 il no reason why it siiould bo checked, the future of this part of my chnrf^o is too ihirk for mo to pro^ijiioHtieato. If, under existiut;- circumKtancos, (Ikm-o is not womo mil ligation on the part oi the Diocesan Jioard (and it is not I'ur mc lo say whetlicr there should bo or not) willi i'o<;ai'd (o i(s require- ments from tlii.s com^'i-c^'ation — ciUiei- tliat or ihvy v/ill have to be amali^amakHl witli some other congro^-ation. One of these two altornative?^, in my liunible opinion, must bo etl'ected, or their ilite is sealcil. Standon .Sunday collections amount to S20.o(). \Ve now leave iStandon, wilh ali its j'loomy ])i'uspecls, and turn our thoughts to 8t. Paul's Church, llemison, which may be considered the head-riuai-ters of this Missit)n. Here I rejoice to say that thouii;li the present and future ])rospect.s of the last place described wore tlark and unpromisin/j;, tJie ver}'' reverse may bo said of the llemison con<i;rc,<;'ation. Here, taking- a retrospect of tho year whicii is now leaving us, tliero is much to bo thankful foi" ; and if we are to judge of the future, from our experience of tho past and present, tho prospects of this congregation accordingly may be looked upon, both spiritually and financially, as in a nourishing and cheering condition, as evidence of wliich tlio few following facts (leaving many unnoticed) may be stated. Tho number of our communicants is gradually increasing, tho Sunday services well attended, tiic average number during tho summer months about sevcnty-tivc, but not so large in winter. Our pew rents, which arc pretty regularly paid, amount to something over our annual liabilities to tho Diocesan Boai-d, one hundred and ten dollars. Our Sunday col- lections last year more than doubled those of an}' former years. And hero 1 may acknowledge much increased attention and kindness from my people. This may bo applied to both congregations a.j a general thing, but one or two individuals in particular deserve richly to be mentioned ; Mr. George Bagnall, wlioso lot was not certainly cast among the rich of this world ; tliough ho gives much proof of being rich towards G'od. This person gave all the timber (free of cost to tho Mission) for my stable, and camo himself and gave a willing hand, vv'ith several others, to put it \\\). Again, as the Parsonage house is erected on a now and uncultivated piece of land, in consequence of which I had no suitable pasturage, and therefore was unable to kec]) a cow during the summer months, but owing to the unbounded and increasing kindness of Mrs. \Vm. Henderson, both I and my family have been well supplied with all the necessaries of life; I may further ' <■ 47 ptJilc tliiit my (•on<:;r(.'gati()n, tiiisolicitod, ^jfonorally fiiniisli me with uliout hall' tlio lirowuod- roquircil Lu l»cal lliol'ju'.son- ixgo frcio of cost.

It was stated boforo that tho congregations in this ^fission wore good and attentive. I may hero add in both cases that they are much and strongly attached to their Ciiurch, for which, under God, wo are much indebted to tho faithful and untiring labors of my immediate predecessor, tho Ilov.

Felix Boyle. NEW LIVERPOOL. Having only boon a short timo at New Liver])ool, my report must bo necessarily brief. On arriving at a now sphere of Labour every thing at first seems strango, and it takes some little timo to fairly settle down and know tho people, and bo known by them so as to have their confidence and esteem. But two circumstances, I am thankful to say, took away all impressions of strangeness when I first came hero, last Juno. One, tho very kind and hearty reception I met with from every one hero ; and tho other the well- ordered condition of Church matters which, thanks to my predecessor, Mr. Woolrychc, and the Chui-ch-Wardons, I found in tho Mission. New Liverpool, as tho Society well knows, was formerly connected with Levis, but since May, has become a separate Mission. Tho congregation generously contributes $500 per annum towards the Clergyman's support. 4!» I Our SuM'Uiy-scliool is siuuU, luit I .siippovo it is im liir<^o as wo cjiii (!X|)(M'I, I'nv s()im> tinu! to ( oiiic.

As to tho spii'itual condition of those comnutted to my charge ; this is. of course, a subject ■which every Clergyman mentions with diflidencc, being more or less open to the charge of egotism and ])resump(iun on the one hand, and despondency and consoriousnoss on the other ; all 1 can say is, my ])eo]de, one and all, expressed their delight at having a resident Clergyman among them, and have very generally availed themselves of every opportr.nity of public Avorshlp, and though 1 could wish that tho attendance at tho Holy Communion was greater than it is, yet I suppose that oven in this res]ject we must hope for tho best, and pray, that with patience and faithful teaching, ••line upon lino, and 50 ])rccept upon in'occpt," our Jleavonly Father will bo pleased to bloss our endeavors, cause the seed Kown in IJis name to prosper, and increase the number of the faithful amongst us.

IIOURG-LOUIS. I have been in this Mission only a little over two month?. I left my former Mission in the Gulf last September, and came here at the commencement of October. Several months before I was removed I expressed a wish to that ctfcct to the Bishop ; yet no Clergyman could be found ready to take up the work I was leaving. I believe the Mission is still vacant. No doubt this is one case amongst many. It is, nevertheless, sad that a Mission, like that of Ilopetown and Port Daniel, should be left vacant, and tlic people without those ministra- tions of religion which they s^^iuch value. The present Mission is a double one. It comprises both Bourg-Louis and Portneuf, which were formerly two distinct 51 Missions. Each hiis a Church, which arc nineteen or twenty miles apart. In addition to the services in the Churches I have services in a school-house at Portneuf, also in a private house at the Eed Bridge. In summer there has been service in both Churches every Sunday. But it is impossible to have services in both Churches on one day in winter with only one Clergyman. So I am obliged to have service in the Church and in the school-house at Portncuf one Sunday, and on the other Sunday morning service in the Church at Bourg- Louis and evening service at the Red Bridge. As regards financial affairs, Portncuf pays its assessment, kc, rcg"ularly, but Bourg-Louis is heavily in arrears. I do not yet know what is to" be done. The people do not seem inclined to malce up what is deficient. They appear to think that the amount might be, as they expressed it, " wiped off." But I have endeavored to make them understand that this system could not bo followed, so I hope they will try to make up what is duo fi'om them. My knowledge of the character and habits of the people, as well as of the resources of the country around hero, is too limited and uncertain, as yet, to enable me to form any very dofinito ideas as to the future of this Mission. But there are many grounds to hope that, if money matters can be put right, other things will work well. The people appear to value instruction "and the ministrations of religion. James B. Debbage. ST. SYLVESTER. Your Missionary must make some remarks on the labours of the past year, though nothing worthy of note has taken place. Your ^[issionary has striven to hold three services during each Lord's day, and occasionally four, when time and distance enabled him to do so. The service for Thanksgiving Day was held at each place in the Mission, but not on the same day. The same may bo said of the great day of intercession, but the weather was very bad. Few, indeed, were the people at any one place. The greatest number were at St. George, a distance of 60 miles from the Parsonage. Your Missionary had hoped and prayed for suitable weather, and prssable roads, and the full attend- ance of his little flocks throughout the Mission. But, alas, it waR quite the reverse ! 5^5 Our day-schools both at St. Margaret and St. Catharine arc given up, the few parents not being able to pay a teacher, though your Society aided them by $W j'early. The children are numerous enough, I fear also that this will bo the lot of St. Giles' school. Hero for Home four or five years a most efficient teacher has had charge of the school. The nutiibers could be kept up - ^'y by some of the children coming five or six miles to the school. This is a very long distance in some of our storms, and roads tilled with snow. 1 visited this school the day ])revious to the appointed day of Fast, and was well pleased svith the improvement of the scholars ; prayers arc said morning and evening, the Scrijitures reguhirly read, and the catechism duly taught, are all very satisCactory to the Clergyman. Nor is there any lack of attention or encouragement in the school at New Armagh ; this school I visited the week previous. Sunday-schools have been hold in Cumberhmd by two young ladies from Quebec, the Misses Taylor ; in St, Sylvester, by a kind matron, Mrs. Waters, assisted by a Miss Wilson, teacher of the District school. The other at St. Catharine by a very worthy member of our little flock, very little indeed now, as his family is the only one belong- ing to the Ciiurch. At St. Giles the school was attended to by myself. Here a little attention Avas paid to singing, and the result was most pleasing. A pic-nic was got up for the children of this Sunday-school. Some of the parents attended, and it was truly ])leasing to soo what interest was created by it. As often as Divine Service is held in this part of the Mission the ofl'ortory is taken up ; but at the other part of it only when a ])ublic collection is appointed. The attenilatice on ])ublic service has nol been as g-ood as I could have wished, nor as regular as it ought to have been at this place and St. Patrick's. We have to regret the very unsettled state of mind throughout the length and breadth of the Mission. This a])])lies as much to the ])arents as to tho children. A large family, Irom the Township of .laser, left this fall, one from Cumberland j\Iills, one from St. (iiles, one from St. Catharine, one from this ])lace and one fi'om St. Mary These, all told, would number above 50 souls. Others are talking of going in tJio spring. Baptisms for tho year past, 18. Marriages none. Deaths 4; two of these were truly attached to the Church, and never lacking in their duty to their Clergyman ; but their end "was peace. Mrs. llarbottle was the much esteemed wife 53 of Mr. l^M. irarbottlo, who began the Churcli in Cumberland, and gave a hirge glebe also. Slio was a mother in Israel. The other was a true lover of her Church, and able to value the servants of the Lord, ever ready to show them all kind- ness and to encourage divine service amongst her neighbours and in lier own house. Something has been done in tlio wa}^ of fencing, though not half enough ; and an outer door to the Church here is much rcf[uired, and one of the parishioners has most willing- ly allowed mo to call on her for the amount so soon as linished. A truly kind friend in Quebec obtained well nigh enough to tar the roof of the Church, which required it much. Another friend in Quebec, who is well-known as a most beneficent person towards the Church generally, has promised to double the amount that I. may obtain to paint the Church at Cumberland. Nor will this 'be the first great kindness he has shown both to this people and your Missionary. In consequence of the fomilies leaving the Mission, there is, of necessity, a falling otF in our annual subscriptions.

Kino. LEEDS. This is a Mission in which the Church is not likely to increase rapidly, either in numbers or in strength of material resources. I could not, with a clear conscience, cncourago 54 immigration, lor it is Ji hard country to get u living from ; and 1 have boon informed that tlioro has been no influx of settlers from tJie old country for more tlian twenty years, and from av hat I have seen 1 am sure that a number who are located here Avould leave if they could only sell. Wc have, by removal, lost four families, comprising twenty souls, all belonging to the congregation of Leeds village, within the past year, and more Church people are going in the spring. The result is that the Church, instead of increasing, becomes more feeble in numbers and in resources, for all who liavo left, and who are to leave in the spring, were among the paying portion. The prospects of this Mission, therefore, are not very encouraging. Still, as a Mission of the Church in which her own children arc found askinir for bread and gladly receiving it from the Church's hands, it is a very important field. The congregations throughout the Mission have been good, the jieople very attentive and reverent; and the oflferings on the w'hole, have been as good as could be expected from people with resources as limited as theirs. There are seven places in this Mission in which services are held, with [attendance of from 120 to 10, a good deal depending on the weather and roads, especially in winter. SERVICES. St. James' Church. — Every Sunday ; largest congregation, 100 ; smallest, 12. St. Mark's Church. — Every Sunday, except Droughton Sunday ; largest congregation, 120 ; smallest, 20.

NEW JRELAM). 1 liavo been only six months in this Parish, and cannot Kpoak definitely as regards its present standing or future prospects. There is a large number of nominal Church members, but the congregations at either church are small. For three years Mr. Wood, of Woodside, has been engaged procuring the funds for a bell and bell-tower for Trinity Church, in which he has been successful. Apart from the time and labour, he has also expended a large sum, which I fear the congregation will find it difficult to refund, as the current expenses are quite as much as they can meet at present. With the assistance of other members of his family, he has also had the interior of the Church painted. Other repairs, both to the Church and Parsonage, are much needed. The Sunday-school is kept by F. H. Wood, Lay Reader, and has been quite a success. A festival with Christmas tree was held at the Parsonage on the 23rd December. Both teachers and scholars, with many of the parents, seemed to enjoy the evening, and expressed the wish that this their first Christmas tree would not be the last. The congregation of Christ's Church have sadly neglected necessary repairs to their Church, but the Wardens have promised to attend to it as soon as spring opens. Annexed is the amount raised in the Parish for six months. Assessment $142.50 Church Society 14.25 Offertory 30.00 $186.75 T. L. Ball, Missionary. CAPE COVE. At the close of another year l send you. according to custom, a short account of the condition of this Mission. 5G I n I I I vcgvot to say lliat llic coiigrogiitiou has beoji weakened lately by the {le|)artiu'e of about twciily of il.s members for Upper Canada, Avhero remunerative employment can be found in Avinter, wliicli, at present, i,s not easily obtained ]\oro. This of course leaves a lieavi ^r burden on the shoulders of those who romjiin, but for the most pai-t they bear it chocrfull}'. Last winter we made an attempt to i-csuscitiito our failini^ library at Cape Cove, and to form a small library at I'erce, and wo succeeded very Avell, as £11 Avere contributed hero, and £5 at Perce, for the purposes nauKHl. The collectors as well as the contributors aL both phuos deserve all credit. I. must not fori>-ct to mention the Isindnchs of ouri'requeni benefactor, Mr. T. Savai^'c, Avho, last summer, presented to our library books to the value of £5. Wo had the happiness of wclcomiiii;' our IJishop here in July, Avhen his Lordship conlirined tliirty-eight 3X)un<;' persons within the ]\Iission. The people wore much cheered and editiod by nis Lordship's stirring- addresses, and derived no small encouragement from the direct reference Avhich his Lordship made in the kindest manner to their good report; as united and liberal congregations. Our building committee, appointed last Lastcr, held their first meeting to-day, when it w-as resolved that boards should be collected this winter for a now church at Capo Covo ; and that with a view to meeting the expenses in a satisfactory manner, when the time for erecting the building shall have arrived, a building fund should at once be created. Mr. Savage headed the list with $60 a year for three years ; Mr. James Baker followed with a promise of $25 a year for the same period ; and the liberal example was not lost upon others, so that, though only a few members of the vestry wore present, the sum of $144 per annum for three j'oars was at onco subscribed. Thus it will bo seen wo have made a good beginning at all events, and wo have every reason to hope that with God's blessing wo shall succeed in our under- taking. I gladly and gratefully notice the continued generosity of my people. Their offerings both hero and at Perce last Eastei' wore very liberal, and since then I have been over and over again the recipient of tokens of kindness and good-will .

St. Paul's Church numbers verj^ fo^Y families, and the Church is past ]'C]>airing and rapidly going to decay. Steps will be taken during the winter to collect material for a new building.

Assessment, '3 (j^narters The Sunday-schools at both Churches are progressing. The day schools have not increased in numher since my last report. The great diiliculty is to obtain teacliers. The Commissioners, aided by me, did all they could to obtain a teacher, before the close of navigation, for the South-West school, without avail. If the (Jhurch Society could keep a register of Church of England teachers who have passed the Normal school examinations, it would be a great boon to us and others in our position who cannot find teachers and yet feel that there are many who might be found who would gladly accept our offer and strengthen oui* hands.

In giving our usual statement of the progi'Css of the Mission, I would remind the Board that in a long settled district like this it cannot reasonably be cx])ecled that incidents will arise to make an ordinary periodical report striking or interesting. I have but to say that the year has passed scarcely noted, save by the unfailing blessings of our Lord. The most memorable event was the presence amongst us of our Eisliop, on his periodical tour for conlirmalion in this portion of the Diocese. I am thankful to bo able to say that there was a most promising class of young disciples to receive the holy rite, nearly all of whom Jiave since become constant communicants. The usual collections and subscriptions for the Church Society, for the working of the Mission, and for charitable purposes, have been taken up, and the amount obtained has been about an average compared with other years, allowing for our diminished numbers, arising fi-om the separation of Peninsula from Sandy IJeach. k 59 Tho Ijulicis of llio eoiig-rcgatioii inailu .slrcnuoius efforts to rai«o and collect liindH for repairing and perfecting our Church, and when wo were visited by our Jii.sliop every thing relating to it wan "decent and in order." Wo have been unable to increase our Endowment Fund with new capital. Hlowly it in advancing from tho accumula- tion of interest, and will in time, perhaps, answer the purpose of sustaining tho Mission ; but it is long to look forward to, and in the meantime tho aid from tho Society for tho Propagation of the (iospel, on which the Mission has heretofore principally existed, is being gradually Avithdrawn. Soon wo shall have no source of support, save our own efforts and what you can do for us. Tho place is jioor, and we are a small flock in the wilderness, girt in on every side ^by the thousands that adhere to the Church of Eome. All tho usual services have been held and Avell attended, and a blessing has not failed to accompany them. Wo now have a monthly celebration of the Holy Communion, and it is blessed to our souls. On the whole our progress has been satisfactory, (all things considered,) and our prospects if not lu-illiant, aro not discouraging. So that on looking back over tho year now traversed, wo may say with thanksgiving and praise, "Hitherto tho Lord hath helped us." There has been raised in tho Mission for all 2)urpose8, $429.69.

In presenting the usual annual re])ort 1 would record, with much gratitude to Our Ifeavonly Father, continued personal health, freedom from epidemics, peace amongst ourselves, and the hojieful aspect of tho future. During the year the Mission of Malbaie has been temporarily united with the new one of Peninsula, such arrangement to cease when a Clergyman can be found for the latter. It will be necessary to speak of each separately. At Malbaie the increased assessment has boon cheerfully met, and a movement sot on foot towards an Endowment Fund, the necessity for which seems at last to be recognized. I trust my next report will sec it well advanced. 60 A .slfoplo, Nvliieli is :i ^ro.'il iinprovoincnt, lias boon uililcd lo tlio Cluu'cli lit fi cost of $1(»S, oxcliiHivo of iimlorhil /^nven by the coii^-i'c,i;:i(ioii.

This new* Mission, which I supply alternately with Malbaic, consists of two congregations on the North side of Gaspo Bay, distant from each other 10 miles, and distinguished as Peninsula and Little Caspe.

Tho Mission Boat that was in |)rospeot last winter Avas in tho spring completed. It was made as comfortable as work and money could mako it on the Islands. This desideratum supplied now enables the Clergyman to visit tho several partH of his Mission in Jiis own convenient tinio and leisure. It is also an agreeable moans of enjoying tho warm summer days, whether in fishing or sailing under a pleasant breeze, quaffing tho refreshing sea air. Two school-housoB have been built — one on Grindstone Island and one at Grosso Isle. At Grindstone the school has been for a year in operation. Though tho attendance has been necessarily somewhat irregular, yet tho children have made very good progress. The teacher has dono what assiduity and perseverance could accomplish. The school at Grosso Isle i« j'r^t organized. The teacher is to enter upon his work about the 20th November. This is another desideratum supplied. For this benefit wo aro indebted to tho Church Society for an annual grant of -S^O. There are now, thevofore, two such grants made to these Islands. They were pro arcd by the kind interest taken in the Mission by tho Bis'; >p and II. S. Scott, Esq. Tho Jhurch at Grosso Islo is still in its unliiiished condition, but^^lcreis a brighter prospect for it in the coming year. His Lordship is securing for us a grant that will meet the expcnsoB for tho completion of this Church. Then this .Mission will bo fully supplied (at least for some year.s) with tho requisite churches and schools.

J to very early retired crestfallen a»id in disgrace, with the wise resolution of hero- after stayinij at honie. It is evident that the spiritual condition of ibis Mission is |)rogressing. The prcv.,!. it ibrnication, druidccnness, swear- ing, lying, disrespect ci (Jotl, and apathy *.o religion arc gnulually giving way to a more regular attendance to religious duties, and consequently to a better tone of morality. Such vices were in.ident to the condition of people brought up without a d: riding ministry to check the current of tho interestcfl ])assions. But religion is beginning to exhibit its advanfages. It is becoming estimable and necessary. Instead of the last it is growing into the first importance. The result is more respect ibr tlie Church and her rites. Her Ministers aro not now, as was tliought at first, giving their .services as tish is sold, merely for the sake of the money or profit derived. It is in the rising generation that wo can expect to see a purer Christianity established. It is the regular steady work of the Church alone that can raise those people from the present half-barbarous condition to that state of civilization that will enhance their temporal and eternal happiness. Let this work bo ])ursued in for some years longer, and we need not fear the battering-rams of schism, nor the multitudinous shafts of error and superstition thai arc so prodigally hurled against us by tho overwhelming numbers of our neighbours.

My summer's work ])cii;an Juno Ttli, wlicn 1 proceeded eastward, purposint,^ cliieny to i)rcparoCaiKlidnteH fbrCoiiiirm- ation. At lir.st dril'tin^- ice impeded iny progre.st;, but after ten days the bays were clear everywhere, ami 1 was able to go to any part along tlie shoi-e. I'oaling is tlie only means of travel 1 th ravelling in 1 ho summer, as me iniiabitaius live cuieiiy on the scattered islands ; and those Avho are on the main land are obliged generally to take to (he water, as the rocky hills and thick copses of briishw(X)d are impassable. Having now become familiar with the appearance of the sliore, and acquainted ^vith tlie manner and customs of the people, I was able to work to much greater advantage than at first: and my first season's exj)eric'nce taught me a lesson of caution, so that this j'car I never failed to reach a liouso of shelter for the night. Ilisljordship the Bishop of Quebec, in company with the J'ev. II. ]voe, came to the Mission July 28th, and remained till August 28th, holding Coniirmation services at various posts ; and thirty-four candidates received the Apostolic rite of laying on of liands. This month was an exccedingl}'' pleasant one to me. After being among strangers for more than nine months, and hearing little news from abroad, the sight of two familiar faces did mo much good, and the impression made upon me lasted through the rest of the year. During the summer months J travelled a distance of more than eleven hundred miles, and never, 1 may say, suffered any hardships. Of course there was a good deal of hard work in the way of rowing, and occasionally some incon- veniences and disagreeables had to bo encountered, e.g., when trying to get a sleep after working Jiard, to be kept awake and annoyed by the humming and stinging of mosquitoes; but my experience of the severities of Labrador weather was confined to the season of my initiation last autumn. From the middle of November till Chrislmas i remained stationary at Old Fort ISay, ior during that lime one cannot be exjKM'ted to go about. Dec. 2()th. — Began my wdntei-'s work, which coiuiin'cd four months, acconndishing a distance of seven humhed and fifty miles. For the first month dogs woi'o of little service, owing lo the great depth of light snow, and I went from house to iiouso 'on snow-shoes, having learned that mode of journeying pretty well. 65 Again this season I was fortunate in escaping all exposures, and during the whole winter I enjoyed uninterrupted good health. The bracing air of this coast has a remarkably good effect upon me, and continued good health keeps away the feeling of ennui which would otherwise often creep over me. I can say truly that so far from finding it a hardship to live on the Labrador shore, I enjoyed my short sojourn there very mu^ii, and especially the second year of it. Tlioro was jolenty of work to bo done, and I was able to do it, at least as far as regards health and strength, and so time glided ])ast without weariness. The tishorics of this year were unusually good, and conse- quently my experience of Labrador fare, &c., was better than that of some of my predecessors wdio lived in difficult times. I received tokens of favour i'vom numbers of the people, and among them I may mention with special prominence the names of Mr. and Airs. Goddard. I solicited subscriptions from each fiimily towards purchas- ing books to encourage learning among them, and the success met Avitli was as follows : Mrs. Eobin $ 1.00 L. Eobin 1.50 J. Goddard 5.00 K.

In roviewinfc the state ol the Church in this parish during the past year, 1 feel thanlvful at being able to say that upon the whole it is satisfoctory. My relations and intercourae with my flock have been of a pleasant nature, and my ministry, I trust, has not been without good results. The poi)ulation of the Town, however, has lately so much increas- ed that wo are now suftering greatly from the want of suflScient Church accommodation. And the way in whicli this difficulty is to be overcome involves questions that arc by no means easy to solve. 1 iiust that the solution will yet bo found in the substitution of a free church, in which all will have equal privileges, instead of the present system of renting pews. A move in this direction seems to me essential to the continued progress and prosperity of the parish. Last summer a stone-built Parsonage house was purchased. It is adjacent to the Church, and is now undergoing extensive repairs. I would call attention to the circumstance that $18 havo been collected for the Church Society by Sunday-school children in Mission Boxes that were at intervals enti-usted to such of the children as volunteered to act as collectors. This is a new and somewhat importMit feature in our present subscription lis The Ladies' Church Fund Society, a parochial organization that was formed four years ago, ha>?, I regret to say, for the present ceased its opemtions. I hope, however, to see (his most useful Society, to which the parish is much indebted for important services, again revived. Since its organization more than $1200 liave been collected in tlie [;arisji through its agency, and expended in painting and decorating the Church after its enlargement, in the purchase of a solid silver communion service, and in contributing largely to the fund raised for the purchase of the fine organ that is now jdaced in the Church, and leaving an unexpended balance of u})wanls of $100 to bo hereafter applied to the building of a new fence to enclose the cemetery. The quiet, unostentatious way in "which this large sum of money was raised b}- the ladies, in small monthly contributions, for such useful church purposes. •3| A and tlio faitliful, zealous dos'()li(ju of llio collcc((nv-i merits a public expression of my warm approval. I do not know that I have anythins^- further (o report than what belongs to the ordinary routine of every day pai-ochial life. But, as I liavc lately resigned the pastoral charge of this parish, in which a largo portion of my life has been past, I trust that T may bo permitted to express the hope that my successor will enjoy the same comfort in his work that it has been my great ha]:»pincss to see fall to my lot. He will have a large tield of usefulness open to him, and a ])Cople to receive him whose intercour><e with his predecessor was of the most friendly and pie >ant nature. And what is hardly less ncc'-osary to a Pastor's contentment, lie will lind a Church that is second to norio in the Diocese for the orderly and strictly rubrical manner in which the services are conducted, and the care expended on it to make it worthy of being called the House of (lod. C. P. Eeid. \ * \ \ I T tl I RICHMOND AND MELBOURNE. The most noteworthy event in the history of this Parish during the past year is tlie completion of a new Chnrch for the Mission of Erompton, which still continues affiliated to us. The corner stone was laid on Dominion Day, and the consecration took place on All Saints' Day. That day was one to us of unusual interest. Every consecration of a now Church is an important event, representing, as it does, much work done and decided progress made, much effort and self- denial and love for Christ and His Kingdom. But whore new ground is broken by the Church andlier bamer set up among a people hitherto strangers to her system, the building of a Church with the hearty goodwill and "by the earnest self- denying eilbrts of the people themselves, is an event of no ordinary importance. It is but the simple truth to say that the interest manifested by the good people of Brompton in the building of their Church has been warm and hearty, and their contributions to it in most cases liberal, in many instances generous and self-denying. I may be permitted hero to make special mention of the efficient aid 1 have received from the two zealous Church- Wardens, J\rr. Edward ^yebb and ilr. W. Eiches, and of the ready advice and more than generous help of my dear and kind friend, Mr. W. G. Mack. 68 Christ Church, Brompton, (the first and only Protestant place of worship in the township), is a plain but well- proportioned and very attractive wooden building, fifty feet by twenty-five inside measure, with porch and bell turret, and having sittings provided for 120 persons. Quebec, Shorbrooke and Lcnnoxville contributed nu)st gene- rously to the wor]<. Among many special gifts were a service of plate for tlie Holy Communion from the Revd. C. Hamilton, a very beautiful Altar-cloth from Mrs. AVilliams, and exquisitely fine Communion Linen i'rom Mrs. J I ill. A font is still wanting. On the day of Consecralion the liishop baptized an aged woman, one of the first settlers, and after- wards confirmed her and admitted her to the llol}' Com- munion. Seven otiici-s were confirmed on the some occasion, all of them, I lielieve. sincerely \u earnest iti their dedication of themselves to Cln-ist. The Bromptcm Sunday-school still continues under the charge of Mr. Mack, and makes fair progress. The Church-AVai'dens never sufi'er their assessment to be in arrear. On the whole the Mission of ]kom])ton is in a healthy condition. The services in Brompton and Windsor, once in each ovorj'' Sundny, are kept up with unfailing regularity by my colleague, the Eevd. Isaac Thompson, I relieving him once eveiy four weeks. Of AVindsor we cannot speak so cheei-fully. The return for much laboui" is dis;ippointing. Nevertheless, we labour on in hope, remembering that -'they who sow in tears shall reap in joj'." In each of the three congregations of the Parish of Eichmond and Melbourne quiet and solid progress may bo reported. The strain of the first year of self-su]iport has been well borne. Our excellent Warden, Mr. AVray, kee])3 the finances of St. Ann's in a healthy condition. Through his efibrts, aided by Mr. Foster, the inside of the Church has been painted. St. Ann's now only wants a new bell-turret and spire to be quite a respectable building. On the 28th June the Bishop made his annual visitation of the Parish and confirmed 2(i persons in St. Ann's Church (of whom 12 M'cre from the Silver School-House congregation) and 12 in St. John's, 88 in all. Of those so confirmed, his Lordship ]n-eviously bapti/.ed two in St. Ann's and one in St. John's. On the same occasion 25 of them partook of the Hoi}' Communion. On the whole I never presented a class for confirmation unth greater comfort. Our system of annual confirmations made it easy for me to keep back for another year 12 whom I considered insufficiently pre])ared. A new feature in the working of this l*arish is the instilu- \ C9 \ tion in connexion with St. Ann's and St. Jolin's of fortnightly meetings of such devout persons as may choose to conic together for prayer, religious conference, and study of the scriptures. The meeting for St. Anr's is held in a fixed place, a public room ; that for St. John's from house to house among the congregation. This venture is only in its infancy ; so far it promises well. Our Sunday-school Christmas festivals were this year as successful as ever, and three admirably conducted Sunday- school pic-nics, for St. A nn's, St. John's and Brompton, not only gave us three days of real and pure enjoyment, but did a great deal of good in bringing our people into kind brotherly intercourse with one another. Our band of twenty-nine teachers in our five Sundaj^-schools deserve every commendation, and have my heartfelt thanks for their un- wearied labours. I append the usual statistics.

On my arrival I found that part of the Eectory "Occupied by the late Hector altogether too large for my family. 1 therefore requested the congregation to renovate that part of it adjoining the Church, and lit it up as a residence for me. They at once acted on my suggestion, and came forward witli subscriptions to the amount of $800 towards that object. The unoccu])icd part of the Rectoiy was completely gutted and fitted up as a most comfortable and substantial residence, at a cost of about SIOOO. I'he part of the Poctory occn])ied by the late Hector has been rented for §200 per annum. Divine Service has been regularly kept up on Sundays and holidays. The attendance at those services is fair ; but there are «till many in the I'arisli ^\ bo ought to attend, who, I regret to say, do not. The Sunday school is in a flourishing condition, and is very well atteiided by all the Church children of the Parish. In August last I received a grant of $50 worth of books and maps fj'om the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, for the use of the Sunday-school. A new and handsome fence has been placed round the turying-ground at a cost of $120, which was collected by ;^ealous members of the congregation. The old windows in the Church have been replaced by six handsome memorial windows of stained glass. Preparations arc being nmde for the complete renovation of the Church in the spring, and for adding a chancel and memorial windows to the first three liectors of the Parish. These improve- ments have taxed the liberality of the congregation to the very utmost, especially as we have been refused aid in renovating the Church, both by tlio Church Society and the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. I deeply regret that the congregation is unable, this year, to contribute to the funds of the Church Society. The ladies of the congregation have organized a sewing society, in order to increase the small fund which is already on hand towards renovating the Church.

ST. FRANCIS. The Abenakis Indian Mission, on the banks of the beautiful St. Francis River, is the only one in the Province of Quebec which may be called a Church Indian Mission. Some years ago it was, at dilFerent periods, under the care of various dissenting bodies. The Indians getting tired of constant changes, mul of the very unsatisfactory state of their religious training, called a council of braves, and after liaving prayed God to guide them, petitioned the head of the Church in Canada to care for them in their unsettletl condition. Such a pressing request coining from the Indians, unsolicited by any one, nor biassed by any other motives but that of a strong desire to better their religious standing, could not be disregarded. At once a colporteur was sent, who established a school, and as soon as a missinnary was found he was sent to build up a congregation. In a few weclcs the room where the service was held became too small antl many bad to luru away unable to obtain admission. Another Council Avas held and the building of a Church was suggested by the Jlissionary. A subscription list was produced and n\any names were ])ut dow^n, some giving as high as $10, and as a proof of their earnestness they all paid what they subscribed. The balance required was collected in various parts of Canada, and the Church was built. The next year a Parsonage was erected, and soon a font, harmonium, and communion service were all obtained ; and now the Indian Church comj^ares most favourably with any in the Diocese. Many of the Abenakis youths have been educated at Sabrevois College ; one taught there is now teaching in an academy at Berthier, and at the same time jDreparing himself > A 73 > .♦ for the sacrod ministry. Another was making great progrcs.s in liis BtudioH when his health gave way, and for a time lie has had to lie by, but wo earnestly hope for his recovery. Services are hold twice every Sunday, as well as on Thurs- day evenings. There is also a Sunday-school in good work- ing order. The congregations are larger in winter than in summer. In the hot weather the Indians leave the village for places of resort, such as Saratoga, Long Branch, the White Mountains, to sell their baskets and various other articles Avhich the women manufacture during the winter season. ■ The Indians still vif<it the hunting grounds, they have to go as far as 400 and .500 miles from their homes to get less fur than they would get formerly at their very doors. They are generally poor, and in some cases destitute, as they receive very little help from Government. The religious state of the Indians is certainly not such as I would wish to have, but still there is hope lor encourage- ment and perseverance. There is, I think, a general feeling of satisfaction prevailing among them with regard to religious teaching in their midst, and a deep interest is taken by some in the services of our Church. The greatest obstacle in their joining intellectually and heartily in the services is that the greater part of them are unablo to read. In order to overcome this difficulty, to some extent at any rate, I have some time ago opened a night-school to instruct those who do not iittcnd the daj'-school. The work is difficult and not very ])lcasant, still in the hope of good results, I willingly offered my services gratuitously. The school has been attended by both Protestantf and iioniau Catholics. I hope that this effort will bo productive of much good. We are very much in need of a school-liouse, and I purpose this year to solicit the hoi]) of Christian friends in (Quebec and Mont- real for that o])jccl. I have aWo lo minister to two congregations in the Diocese of Montreal. I visit those out-stations every fortnight, when the roads are not too bad. The distance to be travelled is 27 miles. As I have already stated the Indians are poor, still I make an cttbrt among them to got up subscriptions for the Mission Fund of the Diocese. The sum collected is very small, but I hope that another year wo shall bo able to do more. The following is a statement of collections made during the past year : — ,-« * 71 For Mission Fund S 7.J>5 For painting Church, from the Indians =i'-21.()0 Collected at' Saratoga for same object =-'a00.00 Offertory •'^•''•f^ .

Your Committee would remind the mombors of the fMiurch generally of the inducemontH which are still held out to encourage Missions to create ondowments. A grant of $150 is paid by tho Church Society, and a sum oi'$20() is added by a member of tho Church in Quebec to any Mission which raises 8200 towards the creation of an Endowment. A comparatively slight etl'ort by somo of tho Missions would raise their Endowments to $3000, when Iho revenue of $200 would bo available as an addition to the present stipend of their respective Clergy. Tho management of these Endowments is committed to tho Church Society under a Trust Deed, executed by tho Congregation, or Mission, and the Bishop as I'resident of tlio Society.
