A meeting of the executive co.Tiniittco of the Bvnod o? the diocese of Rupevta Land was held in the treasurcr'a otllco on Wednes- day, April 7, 188(3, at :\M0 p.m. ^ The members present were : iho Mob'w Rev. the Metropolitan of Rupert's Laud (in the chair), the Very Rev. Dean Grisdale, Ven. Archdeacon Cowley, \en. Archdeacon Pinkham (secretary). Revs. Canon O'Meara, Canon Matheson, 0. Fortin, E. S. W. Fen- treath, and H. H. Barber, W. Winram, Laq , M.P.r., A. H. Witcher, Esq., and H. Is. Grotty, Esq. Tbe meeting was opened with prayer. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. . The secretary presented ihe lollowmg account of the different missionary meetings I eoently held in the diocese : " During the past few months a number of missionary meetings have been held in aif- erent parts of the diocese. The chief ob- ject in view in holding them was to explain as fully as possible the financial position of the diecese and to encourage church peo- ple to increase their contributions in orcier that the work now in operation might be continued and that means might be found for extending that work to all parts of the diocese. , WEANERY OF ST. JOHN H, A meeting was held in St. Paul's Pirish on the second of February. It was well at- tended. Canon Matherson presided and the speakers were, Rev. A. E, Cowley, Mr. J. W. H. Wilson and Archdeacon Pinkham, DEANERY OF SELKIRK The first meetine; was held on 1st of Jan. at Heaclingly, where a new church has bee built free of debt, dr.ring the past summer. The deputation nonsistod of Arch- deacon I'inkhaui and Rev. H. II. Barber. The Rev. A. E, Cowley occupied the chair, and the attendance was fairly good. The next meeting took place 14ih Janu- ary, at St. luMies, whoso pariah church is within the city limits. The meeting which was a good one, was presided over by the rector, Rev. A. E. Cowley, and the deputa- tion consisted of the Rural Dean (Rev. O. Fortin,) and Mr. H. M. Howell, Q. C. On January 19th and '20th meetings wore held at Springfield an.l Sunnyside re- spectively. The first of the two meetingi was addressed by the Very Rev. the Dean of Ruperts Land and Rev. H. II. Barber, the second by these two seutlemen and Messrs. C. J. Brydges ana H. M. Howell. The leather was very cold and members of the deputation aulfered from it, but the at- tendance at the meetings and the interest shown fully made up for any personal in- ccnvenienco. On lOlh February, Canon O Meara and Mr. T. Gilroy addressed a good meeting at Cook's Creek. The chairman at all three meetiups was the missionary in charge Rev. G. H. Hooper, whose earnpsl and constant labors since his appointmeixt more than two years ago are highly esteemed. It may be nieationed that as an inducement to hold these meetings Mr. Hooper on behtlf of his people guaranteed ^.30 and all expenses cf the deputations, and it will bo seen that the three collections aggregated more than the 8um promised. Considering the number of church people in the mission there is proba- bly liO mission in the diocese contributing as larj-e a sum annually for churchwork as this mission. The last harvest thanksgiving collection amounted to $47.00. ^ On .3rd of March a meeting was held in St. George's church, Winnipeg, the incum- bent.

The chair waa ably ttllod by the incumbent. Rev. N. C. Martin. This 'ompletea for the prewent our mia- alonary meetings. The accompanying atate- n>ent shows the amount (d)tained at each meeting. Those aumo, although imporUnt in the prcecnt Hnanjial position of the dio ceso, arc of tritiing value in compariaon with the information that haa been given, and the interest in our work and wants that has been created. At the cloao of a meeting, epoakora have been told by aome who had been listening to them, that they never before liad heard ho much about the history end condition of the work in thla dioceae; that they would bo glad if such meetinga could bo hehl once u month, and ao on. The hands of the clergy, whose parishes and mlBsiona wore visited, have been strength- ened and their hearts cheered, and a strong imnotuH has been given to the all-important duty of Helf support, since it haa been clearly shown that the sums already withdrawn by English sQCJoties indicate further withdraw- als at no distant date, and that if the Church of England is to hold her own in Manitoba and the Northwest, she mu«t rise as rapidly as poKsible to the duty of supplying her own wunta withgut depending upon external aid. It ia hoped that the existing arrange- ment ot deaneries and their better organiz- ation will facilitate the holding of such mcetinjjs annually, and, as far as possible, throughout the Diocese."
