Moved in amendment by Dr. Topp and seconded by Mr. James Thompson, The General Assembly, having heard the statement of Mr. D. J. Macdonnell, given in as his reply to the injunction of last Assembly, whereby he was refjuired to report through liis Presbytery whether he accepts the teaching of the Church on the subject of the eternity or endless duration of the future punishment of the wicked, as taught in the Confession of Faith and as a doctrine of Scripture, finds that, while representing tbat ho holds no opin- ion at variance with that teaching, he has failed to state that he accepts it, and accord- ingly re(iuires bim to give in writing, addressed to the Moderator, before ten o'clock on Monday forenoon, a categorical answer to the said question in terms of the deUverauce of last Assembly :-:- The roll having been called and the votes marked, it was found that the amendment was carried over the motion by a majority of one hundred and seventy-four ^17•l) to eighty-two (8'i), and the Moderator declared the same to be the judgment of the House. From this finding Principal Snodgrass craved leave to dissent in his own name and in the name of all who may adhere to him for the following reasons, viz. : — 1. Because Mr. IMacdonnell has already reported an answer in a form as categorical as can faii-ly and constitutionally be requii-ed of a Minister, who adheres to the Confession of Faith. 2. Because the Assembly has' no constitutional right, at this stage of the proceedings in the matter before it, to rec^uire Mr. ^Macdonnell to give his answer in any particular form.

Tlie Clerk produced and read a communication which'the Moderator had this morn- ing received from Mr. Macdonnell, in roiponse to the requirement embodied in the motion, which on Saturday had become the judgment of the House. Said commiinica- tion is in the following terms, viz. : — " I herewith submit in writing what I said on Saturday last, when it was an- nounced that the amendment proposed by Dr. Topp had become the judgment of the Assembly. I hold that I have already given an answer to the question embodied in that resolution as categorical as a Minister within the Church, who has declared his adherence to the Confession of Faith, and who still adheres to it, can fairly or constitutionally be required to give on a point on which he is confessedly in diificulty. If that answer be not deemed sufficient, I reqaect, as I have a constitutional right to do, that the Presbytery of Toronto be instructed to frame a libel and deal with the matter according to the laws of the Church." It was moved by Ar. Middlemiss, seconded by Dr. Topp and passed unanimously, That Mr. Macdonnell's statement, now read, be received ; that the consideration of the same be taken up at ten o'clock to-morrow morning ; and that meantime the statement be printed and copies placed in the hands of members. [128] THE PBESilYTKRIAN CUURCH IN CANADA. 17 B to answer ANSWERS TO REASONS OF DISSENT. Dr. Topp, Convener of the Coiuinilteo appointed to prepare answers to the reasons of dissent presented l)y Di. HnodgraHs and others at Saturday's Diet, gave in a report. On motion of Mr. Jolm Lainy, duly seconded, these answers were received, adoptod and entered on the Minutes. They are as follows, viz. : — I. It is replied to the first reason of dissent. (1.) That the statement of Mr. Miicdoiinell cannot be regarded as in any sense an answer to the question which the Assembly in the exercise of its constitutional rights put to hiiu. (2.) To justify the answer of Mr. Macdonnell by the statement that it is all that can bo constitutionally re(iuirod of a Minister who adheres to the Confession of Faith is to present a false issue, inasmuch as the adherence of Mr. Macdonnell to the Confession of Faith iij regard to the doctrine of the endless duration of future punishment is the very point in question before the Court ; and, so far from the dissentients having the right to affirm his adherence in the present instance, Mr. Macdonnell in his last statement before the previous Ganoral Assembly expressed his inability at that time to give it. I I . riiat the Assembly has certainly a constitutional right in such a case as the present, for the maintenance of the truth of God, to require an answer in whatever form it deems best fitted to satisfy itself of his acceptance of the doctrine involved (vide " Rules and Forms of Procedure of the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces," pp. 103,104, and " ilill's Practice in thoChurcn Com'ts," p. 54).

Ilichard Bentley, John Laing, J. C. Smith, J. L. Murray, J. M. King, Jamf.s Cameron, William Donald, D. M. Gordon, George Bruce, J. Scrimger, J. W. Mitchell, Thomas Mac- pherson, liobert Hall, A. D. Macdonald, D. H. Fletcher ; Robert Cniikshanks, James Maclennan, John McLean, Thomas McCrae, with instructions to report. It was moved in amendment to this by Professor Mackerras and seconded by Dr. Jenkins, That the reports of the several Colleges and Halls be first read, and thereafter a Committee be appointel to take thom all into consideration and report. A voto having been taken, the amendment was carried over the motion, and the Moderator declared ac- cordingly. Principal Snodgrass presented and read the annual report of the Board of Trustees of Queen's University and College.

Mr. "William Bennet was heard in support of this Overture. The Overture from the Presbytery of Toronto is as follows, viz. : — " Whereas the Home Mission field is now so great and extensive as to de- mand the undivided atttnti(ui of the Home Mission Committee ; and wlicreas it is very desirable that provision should lu? made for the more adequate maintenance <'f all' Ministers of the Church in localities where aid is required :— the Assembly is overtured to consider the propriety of separating the two d^^partments of work at present under the superintendence of the Home Mission Committee, viz. : — Home Missionary operations, and the work of supplementary stipends, so as to enal)le the Church on the one hand more etliciei.tly to prosecute Homo Missionary work, and on the other hand to endeavour by a distinct Supplementary Fund to raise the stipends of all Ministers, whose congregations are not able to do so of them- selves, to a mininnmi stipend of eight hundred dollars (^BUU.OO)." Dr. Topp supported this Overture. The following motion was proposed by Dr. Topp, seconded by Dr. Burns and passed unanimously : The General Assembly, deeply regretting the fact that, notwithstanding the great resources of the Church, so many of our Ministers should be so inadetiuately supported, expresses its deep interest in the subject brought before it bj- the Overtures now read and supported, and therefore appoints a Committee composed of the following members, viz.: — Dr. Topp, Convener, Dr. Burns, Dr. Cochrane, Dr. ^McGregor, Dr. Robb.

The Assembly next considered an Overture from the Presbytery of London aneut the management of Home Mission work. Said Overture is as follows, viz.: — " Whereas the management of the Home Mission woi-k of the Church by one Central Connuittee has practically not been in force, inasnnich as the Synod of the Maritime Provinces is entrusted with the management of its own Homo ^Mission business ; whereas, even the Western section of the Church furnislies an amount of Home Mission business which cannot l)e eflicieutly managed by one Committee — members of the Committee being often required to decide in reference to claims on iuadpquate information, and with little time for mature consideration ; and Presby- teries being frecpiently disappointed when aid which thej- have led weak congrega- tions to expect cannot be obtained, their operations thus being seriously interfered with, and their inlluence with the people impaired ; whereas the Central Commit- tee has been under the necessity of adopting a reduced scale of disbursement, with the view of keeping the expenditure within the ordinary revenue, thus tending gradually to the suspension of Home Mission operations, instead of being in a posi- tion to take eflficient means to procure necessary funds ; and whereas the Synods have generally very little to occupy their attention, and thus have abundant leisure to take the oversight of mission work within their own bounds, in reference to which [1871 26 ACTS AND PBOCEEDINGS OF THE THIED GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 'II :! they can obtain tlie most ample information, and they have also great facilities fur hrin'finf:^ the necessities and claims of tlir Homo Mission field under the favoiu'alile notice of sessions and congregations, with tlic view nf awakening a deej) interest in the work of obtaining the means of extending and sustaining it ; — it is therefore humbly overtured to the General Assemljly — 1st. Tliat the entire management of Homo Mission work, including the procur- ing of means for carrying it on, and for supplementing salaries paid by weak con- gregations, be within the bounds of each of the Synods assigned to these Synods rosi)ectively, and that it be left to each Synod to determine for itself whether it shall have two funds for this purpose or only one. 2nd. That a small Committee, representing all the Synods of the Church equally, bo annuallj' appointed by the General Assembly to take the management of Home Mission work in Manitoba, in the Lake Superior region, and in outlying fields which the Synods cannot overtake, said Committee to receive all grants for Home mission work from sister Cinu'ches, unless otherwise specially designated ; and also to l)ring the claims of these tields under the notice of the Church, and es- pecially of the Synods, and to seek to obtain from each Synod such an annual grant towards the sustenance of these Missions as may seem to be a fair and equitable share of the expenses. 3rd. That the Assembly do cause a remit in terms of this Overture to be pre- pared and sent down to Presbyteries for their consideration. Dr. Prondfoot was heard in support of this Overture. Whereupon it was moved by Dr. Proudfoot, and seconded by the Hon. John McMur- rich, That the Assembly cause a remit in terms of the Overture to be prepared and sent down to the Presbyteries for their consideration. To this it was moved in amendment by Dr.McKuight and seconded by Professor ]5 lyce. That the Overture be remitted to the Com- mittee appointed to consider the reports on Home Missions, ^\•ith instructions to that Com- mittee to consider and report on the same. A vote having been taken, the amendment was carried over the motion and the Moderator declared accordingly. i!i:' .'!i DISSKNT AND COMPLAINT : BARRIE PRESBYTERY VS. THE SYNOD OF TORONTO AND KINGSTON. The Assembly took up a Dissent and Complaint — the Presbytery of Barrie vs. the Synod of Toronto and Kingston anent a complaint of Mr. Marples. Dr. Piobb, on the part of the aforesaid Synod, objected in limine that reasons in support of the dissent had not been furnished by the appellants within ten days of the time when the dissent was taken, as re(iiiit('d by the laws of the Church, and accordingly claimed that the Complaint should not be entertained by the Assembly. Mr. Gray, on behalf of the appellants, was heard on this point. The Moderator sustained Dr. Robb's objection, and the matter was thus dis- missed. CHANGES IN PRESBYTERIES. The House proceeded to consider certain recommendations anent changes in Presby- teries, which had beeu allowed to lie over from last meeting of Assembly. It was unanimously agreed to transfer the congregation of Fenelon Falls and Somer- ville from the Presbytery of Peterborough to that of Lindsiiy. Consideration of the proposal to erect a new Presbytery to be desigBated the " Pi'es- bytery of Lanark and Renfrew," and to include all the congi-egatious and mission-stations within the Counties of Lanark, Renfrew and Pontiac, the congregation of Kitley in the County of Leeds and the Palmerstou mission-stations in the County of Frontenac, was entered upon and continued up to the hour of adjournment.

At the suggestion of the Committee, the respective parties agreed to withdraw the charges and imputations on the one side and on the other, which were the sub- ject of libei and appeal, and accordingly subscribed in presence of the Committee the following documents, viz. : — " The undersigned, having written a letter in the 'New ^ork Evai..,alJst' over the signature of ' Erigena,' making certain references to the affairs of Calvin Chm-ch, St. John, and having also written other letters on the same subject, hereby disclaims all intention in the said letters of imputing fraud or dishonesty to the officers of that Church, and hereby expresses his regret at having used any language which may have been deemed offensive."

Sessions and Con- gregations to contrihute to the same, was issued, as directed hy the Assembly. That only a few have responded to this call, viz.: — Halifax, St. IMatthew's, $rA) ; Halifax, Fort Masscy, ^40 ; Toionto, St. Andrew's, l^'iO ; Toronto, Gould St., »ii() ; Hamilton, McNab St., «'20 ; HiMxrt, n'n.'M) : Montreal, St. Joseph St., $10; Ottawa, Knox, f 10 ; Thnmesford, SIO; Flandoio We.st, ^21)0- Watei- down, Knox, $2; Home Mission Fund of Maritime I'rovinces, ftl88.

The Synod of Toronto and Kingston at its last meeting apportioned its (juota of five hundred dollars (Sr)00) among its several Presbyteries, and it is confidently hoped that the whole amount will in a short time be forwarded to the Treasurer.

That it may be regarded as a result of this appeal that larger grants were given last year than before tobeith sectiems of the Home IMission Committee, though no direct contribution to Manitoba College has yet been sent.

In a large section of country towards the Ijaki; Erie Shore' there is a field for mission- ijjy labour.

From the excix'diiif^'ly amjile and intorestinti report of Home Mission work in this Prcsby tery, we extract the following particulars: pRnrnosE and SuKLnrnNn. These stations we've supplied during the summer by a student, and met the expenses without assistance. On the Sth October a commodious church was (erected in Shelburne, and on the 10th of the same month Mr. Gilciu'ist was -ill for a time absorb resources otherwise available for ministerial supjiort, but the progress made is highly sat.-factory and encour'.^,'ing.

This station has been most reluctantly abandoned by the Presbytery in the meantime, after considerable ei'l'ort to gather the nucleus of a congregation. It is situated in a district urgently demanding mission work. Brockton. This station gives promise of consider- able strength. The church extension association have erected a commodious building for lublic worship, at a cost, including the ])urchase of the land, of ^HOOO. A congregation has been organ- ized witli a communion roll of H'i persons, and a J5oard of Jfan.agement appointed to superintend ;ho temporal affairs of th(! church. SAiniATir Schools, of a more or less missionary character, are sustained by Knox Church at Duchess Street, Cooke's Cliurch at Elizabeth Street, Charles Street Church at Davenport and Yonge Street, and by (hnild Stitct Church .at Sherbourne and Cr.crhowel Street.

With tLo exception of two groups, tliiB haa been contributed for tLo Hummer six mouths. 3. Tho ordijianco of the Lord's Supper has been celebrated at all the gronjiH, at least 20 different stations, and 20 missionary meetings were held on tho mission field during the winter. 4. There arc ton churches on tho field now occupied for worship, and thoro arc four in pro- cosB of erection, at Iluntavillc, Gravuuhurst, Ft. Sydney and Rousseau. 5. The demand for supply from our church is very urgent. The district is filling up rapidly, and in many places the majority are Presbyterians. And our missionary says that, as a matter' of fact. Episcopalians and Baptists look to our church for supply. Could our laborers occupy tho f eld during tho whole year, our prosperity would be greatly promoted. The congregations would bi. Irfvoased in numbers, ami our financial income would soon bo doubled, and, I have no doubt, tripled. I do not need to say that tho evils of partial supply arc manifold. It hindo.s many from giving us the co'dial support they would otherwise give. It lays our statioas o\wii to bo occupied by others who reap the fruits of our labors; and it gives an opportunity' to the young to seek a homo in other churches. Wliat is urgently called for is ordained missionaries at cen- tral points, who in tho absence of tho student missionaries, may bo able to visit all t)ie stationa at least occasionally. It is io bo hoped that the several Synods, in discussing this subject, may bo able to devise some oiricicnt remedies for existing evils. r>. The spirit of church building is greatly increased, and in this work more off. rt is being put forth in proportion to their moans, than in more favored localities. But in this work, as well as in sustaining ordinances, they need help from tho more wealthy districts. Tho Rev. Allan Findlay, who has charge of the Muskoka Mission district, and has done noblo work during the past year, furnishes us with tho following interesting details of the field, gath- ered by actual observation : "The territory to be occupied is extensive, tho three districts covering an area of 150 miles by 100. This territory is of course not all settled up, but it is being settled rapidly, calling for more vigorous efforts on the part of the church to meet the calls which are naturally being made for tho supply of ordinances. "In tho districts of Muskoka and Nipissing wo have at present twenty-one stations which have boon receiving supply. Of these fifteen are organized, and tho remainder will be shortly. Of those twonty-ono stations eight have hitherto been under the care of tho Student's Missionary Society of Knox College. As three of those have reached a stage suiliciently advanced to be placed on tho list of regular mission stations, they will come under the care of the Presbytery moro directly. "As tho result of inquiiv and personal investigation during this winter, we find some twelve points in these districts where stations will require to bo established during the coming summer. Some of these wo trust the Missionary Society will attend to, but others will fall to the lot of the Presbytery. " Ii may appear to some as though this were hurrying matters too fast to undertake so much new ground in one season. Wo cannot see it in that liglit, however. Some of these localities ought to have been attended to before now. Beside, tho country is settling up rapidly, more so perhaps than t!ioso outside the district have any idea of. The peop'c, moreover, are in caniost in this matter of supply, as the following incident will illustrate. A few weeks ago, a settler called upon mc and asked mo to visit their sottlcmont at as early a date as possible. 'I have mado bold,' said ho, 'to come and ask you, as we are tired of waiting for a Presbyterian minister to come our way. Come Monday next if you can, as we arc to raise tho church that day, and would like your presence with us.' I have since visited them, and found the walls of the church up. When people raise a church, even though an humble log building, before they see tho faco of a missionary among them, I conclude they are in earnest in tho mattrr of enjoying church privileges. While the work in these districts will for some time to come be chiefiy missionary in its character, some of tho fields urgently require something more than the presence of a laborer among them during tho sunnnor months. There arc two or three in which it is absolutely ne- cessary that an ordained missionary be stationed, not only because of the wants of these respec- tive points, but also because they arc the centres of important groups of stations.

The jia^t year has heen marked by the favor of God, so far as teini)oral tilings arc concerned in tla- Northwest. The rava^'ej, of the grasshopper, which for three y<'ars had been so great, have happily been unknown in Manitoba during the past year, and the settlers have had plenty, enough at least to wipe off the inih-btedness iiicuired for the neces- siiries of life (luving- the years of sulTering. As was to have lu.'en exiiected, tliere has been au elTort made in almost all oui- stations to raise as much as jK.ssible, i.nd so se(!uru ministers for the several grnujis ( f stations. The want of a sullieient number of labouna's has up to the i)res- ent frustrated tiie Iiojk.'s of some of the most likely groujis of stations. When the work is ojien- ing U]) on every hand it is a source of great regret to this Presbytca-y to note the scarcity of nu)noy at the disposiil of the Uonimittee, and to set; hints thrown out of a probable diminution of expen- diture in the Nortlnvest. It is the o])inion of the I'resbytery f'at the tide of immigration will for the present and future years far exceed anything the past hrs 'ieen, and wo shall be uufaith- tul to (Utr position as a church if the expenditure, instead of bring diminished, be not greatly increased m these future yi'ars. In oi'der to help on th(! work of tlu^ church, the Presbytery pledges itself to do all in its power to raises 'is mucli as possible fnau local sources. On account of there being little, if any, iunnigration to the Provin ■() during the; i>ast year, no now stations have be(Mi cpi'ned, unless it be the ground t;iken up by our most west' rn missionary in this Prov- ince, J\[r.

Tlie member.'-hip during the ])ftst year has risen from '27 to 50 in the two stations. High Bluff and Portage Creek. These two stations have received about half suiijily during the jiast year— one of them being visited by Mr. Bell (if tlic Portage, the otlua' by Mr. Donaldson of Woodlands. Induci'd, no doubt, by their imperfect supply, the two stations n few months ago, put forth a very strenuous cllort and laid U))on the table at last meeting of I'resbytery a subscrijition list, ))romising ■!:;!()() ]ior amnim on condition of obtaining a minister, and an ajiplication was made for a moderation in a call, which was granted. Little Britain: Selkirk, and Park's Creek. During the past year these .stations, north of Winnipeg, have still been under the can! of Mr. Miitliison.

The Presbytery regrets that the Home Mission Connnittee sliould have found fault with the returns made, as incomplete. All was forwarded that it was thought tlie Connnittee could require. The Presbytery regrets that from tlu^ scattered character of the stations, and the; very dilferent circumstances of the Presbytery from those of any other Presbytery in the elnncli, it should fail to meet the wishes of the Committee, and so seem unwilling to carry out all the requirements. The Eev. John Scott, our missionary at Emerson, Manitoba, in liis last communication to the Committee, writes as follows in reference to his work : In the village, the attendance at the School House has been veiy liopeful.

Tlie .attendance at tlie services there :ind at Nortli Coaticooke and liicliby, avera^;ed one hundred and lifty-six.

There is another iii Id in that neighborhood, J;nown as Massawippi, in which the Society has resolved to work tliis year. Wc feel confident our missionary tlicre, Mr. Itussell, will meet with every enciuraK( nient to success. L'Amabl ■ district, in Nortli lhistini;s, contains three iircachinj,' stations, L'Aniable, Vorl; River, and Egan Farm. The attendance at these jilaces under the zealmis effort:- of our mission- ary, Mr. McKilloi), li. A., was very enc()ura,','ing, avuountinK to an average (^f one hundred and twenty. Tlie Sabbath School and Bible Class at L'Amalde was highly successful, shewing the ardent desire of the young jieople for tlie Imowledj.'e of "Christ and llim crucified." The erection of a place of worship has Ijccome a necessity there, and by tho energetic ejideavors of Mr. McKil- lo]), and tho liberality of friends, it is likely soon to be accomplished. Mr. Donald cGCUpicB tlu.s field next summer. Thanet and The lUdgc has been a weak, yet interesting field, eutii'ely in the hands of Pres- byterians.

It will thus be seen that thirteen havi' been addrd tn the nunibtr available for supply ; one licensed in Scotland, one in the I'nited States, tive iu the Provinces, and six ordained miniBters who have offered their services iu the Home Field. EXTENSION. Besides the work of supplyinR the vacancies occurring' throuj^'hout the Church, which is a matter of the f,'reatest importauce and of the most imperious necessity, there is another part of the work more strictly missionary, and therefore more intiresting iu its character — the s(>nding of the Heralds of Salvation beyond the bounds of our organized and regularly supplied churches. The greater part of this work has devolved on that class of workers called Catechists, made up chiefly of our theological students both of the first and second years, who devote their summer niontlis to evangelistic work uuder charge of the respective Presbyteries. In this department of work, hfjwever, two ordained miuisters have been engaged in special fields, — Kov. Peter Melville in the New Kincardine district, in Victoria County, New lirnnswick, aud Rev. D. F. Creelman, iu the Bay of Islands ou the west coast of Newfoundland. As the pro- giess of the New Kincardine colony is watched with gi'eat interest by people on both sides of the Atlantic, it seems desirable in itself, and just to Mr. Melville aud his jieople, to embody the chief part of his report in this statement. EXTBACT FROM BEI'OnX. Mr. Melville \vrite8 : — "Four comely and commodious school-houses have Vieen built in the colony. Three of these are already opened for teaching, aud for preaching, too ; and when the fourth is completed, it will bo inferior to none of them. These schools were a work of great anxiety to us, and might well demand all our spare emrgies for thi^ whole year. "Although those schools have cost us all a good dial besides, yet we rejoice that they are now secured to the colony as 'a thing of beauty, and a joy forever.' I was happy to be able to give a considerable part of my own salary to aid iu comjiletiiig them. " We have now three teachers (all beiug Colonist;-) busy in our schools. At our late examina- tion of the schools, I was much gratified iu obser\ ing the substantial progress made by the scholars. It reminded me of what Scotland has gained by its Parish Schools. Four other teaclk f rs from this Colony are engaged in honorable and successful tuition iu other parts of Now Brunswick, and are still climbing upwards. " Our regular meetings for pubUc worship are now held in our new school houses, and are large, cordial, and much more comfortable than when they were held in private houses. The fervour of the singing is remarkable, and many souls, young and old, are evidently being taught of God. It is refreshing, after the week's toil and conflict, to meet in His name, see eye to eye, and feel His presence and saving influence in our souls. The result of our meetings appeared at our communion season, \i\iQn fifty-five members were added to the Church. Of these, twenty- seven were admitted by examination, and twenty-eight by certificate. May they show their faith by then: works, and prove that they have life and that tliey love the Lord by their ilaily faithful- ness and charity. " We have now seven regular Sabbath Schools, with small but select S. S. libraries. These, along with our prayer meetings, have been a means of sacred solace and edification; not lea.st during the dark days of doubt and agitation. In my missionary visitations of Tilleyville and other outlying settlements that have no pastor, I tried to organize regular Sabbath schools and prayer-meetings, with varying results. As Tilleyville is largely a Scottish Presbyterian settle- ment, I have sent thither a supply of Catechisms aud other S. S. books, and hope to give a good xlvi. APPKNDIX. report of my inxt vinit.

The^'eater part of the salary, howevir. has been pro\ ided by the Colonial Committee of the Fice Church of .Scotland. Very munilici lit Ki'iintw have been received from the Colonial Ccnnmittees of the Free and Kstab- lished Chureiio of Scotland; also from MisHion lioard of the IriHh Tresbyterian Church.

'J"he Kift of t\w Free Church, how- ever, was divided ; one half passed to the credit of the Supjilementary Coniraittee, and the other half, one hundred piuinds, stK-, retained for Church extension under this Committuo, anil used for the jtayment. so far fts it went, of Mr. Melville's salary, as being, in the Committee's opinion, the most ai>propriate aiiplication of it that tlu'y could make. BAY OF ISLANDS. — REV. D. F. CRKELMAN, The fact of ^fr. Creehnan's dosif,'nation to this settlement havinu been stated in last report, it is proper that a few additional facts should he Bubmitted now as regards results. Leaving Halifax on ^lay tith. Mr. Creehnan arrived at Bay of Islands on the 1 tth, and immediately ]iriiceeded to Work, around the Hay, exploring, visiting, teaching and preaching. From the first he had two preachingstatinns.threeaud-a-half miles apart, conducted public worship and held Sabbath School at both places every Lord's day. Hefore long he proceeded up theHutnber liiver.ou which there are some Presbyterian settlers, and having gone over the field, gives the following descriptive statement ; — " The Hay proper is a sheet of water about fifteen miles siinare, but divided into three arms, running generally parallel, east and west. The southern arm, known as Huniher Sound, is about fifteen miles long and from oiu' to three broad. Into the head of this arm flows the Humber, a hirge beautiful river flowing near its mouth through mountains of marble, from '200 feet to HOO feet high. About ten miles uji that river is a lake, through which the river flows, called Deir- rund, about twenty miles long and from one to three broad. At the head and foot of this lake along the shores of the Humber Sound, settlements have been formed, but principally on the Sound. The poi)ulatioii is about l.oOO. " The Presbyterians an; scattered over an extentof forty miles, the only communication being by boats. They are. however, principally, with the exception of a large number of young men, settled iu two coves on the south side of the Humber Sound, two and five miles respectively from its luad. In the upper covi', called Corner Brook, a largo lumbering establishment is situated. Within the last six months our people with a little helji from other denominations have huilt a school-house in this cove, which is nearly finished, and is open to all Protestants. The Protestants have also a school-house in the other cove, in which our people have settled, and iu these two school-houses I conducted service and Sabbath-school regularly on Sabbath mornings and afternoons. The at- tendance was from twenty to forty. Both Sabbath-schools were encouraging." Mr. Creehnan's labors having awakened among the people a strong desire for a more regular Biipply of the means of grace, he proceeded by appointment of Presbytery to take steps for the or- ganization of a Church. He found nine church-members, 1(54 adherents, of whom about sixty were childreu. Several others appHed for membership. In this work of organization he was interrupt- ed by his recall. Before leaving, the people subscribed about S500 to build a church, besides pay- ing part of the expense of the Mission, and would have cheerfutly done more had time to collect been allowed. By request Mr. Creelman visited St. Jolm, tu route for Nova Scotia, and received iu a few days the sum of §874.60 to aid in the finishing of the Church contracted fer, the size being 36x20.

Still, all boastiuK will be etiectually excluded by the simple process of Ki'oir maritime people to remember first, that for the year now commenced there are over forty paid agents employed for tin; summer, and there will be we trust, nearly half that number for the whole year. Their rate of jiayment is not high ; they are doing the Lord's work, and they are doing it as our representatives. Their legitimate claims should be honourably and promptly mot ; ana we have strong faith that as our people, apart, sustained their respective Missions, that our people iinitfd will do at least as well, and that we shall not require, from deficiency of funds, to refuse employment to earnest and willing labourers. • With minor donations we are indebted lor this increase to A. McLeod, S400; Mrs. Donaldson, •'$25 ; John Miller, Pictou Co., *100; Young Men, St. John, Nlld., .SlOO; Arch. Wingood, Hamilton, Her, .S20; A.

But secondly we aek them in devising for, and giving to Home Missions, to extend their vision towards the setting sun, and to realize the fact that the North- West does not belong ex- clusively either to Quebec or Ontario. It is our common luritoi^e, and our field is from Ocean to Ocean. The evangelization of those young but large and rising provinces, along with the people of our own sea-coast, hill, and river settlements, is the 7vork, tho one great, grand work of this Chiu-ch. Our foreign work has not hindcrtd us and never will. History verities the assertion that the conn nssion of the church when drawn out first to the distant and " dark places of the earth," returns to labour with fresh zeal at home, to sow the seed in the native soil, and to look for tlie spiritual harvest among fellow citizens and fellow countrymen. And thirdly, that the present is our time for energetically prosecuting this work ; first, because the country is young and growing, its institutions elastic, and its population specially impressible, and secondly because the present is our only time for action in this sjthere of duty. Whether workers or idlers, liberal or miserly, we sLiill soon have disappeared from the scene; but effects and consequences will remain and will tell on generations to come. Other men have laboured, and we have entered into their labours ; shall we not then from gratitude for our goodly heritage, from Lyve to our Brethren far from the Sanctuary, and from loyalty to our i;"deemer King, lay ourselves out to carry on with brave hearts and jubilant songs, this great, an^i V'lcssed work of Home Missions ? Sli.ill we nfit follow up free giving and earnest working with inii>as8.'oned and incessant pleading for the mightiest agencies, imd to the greatest possible extent ? What the grand source of success is we all know — the Spirit of the Lord resting on all our labourers in this great harvest field on those whom they represent, and on those to whom they are sent. So if we could see those fields ripe and reaped, and the goiden grain gathered in, it behoves us all, filled with the love of Christ and of souls, in faith and in prayer, to wait upon the Lord, " until the Spirit bo poured out from on high, and the wilderut^ss become a fruitful field, and the fruit- ful field be counted for a forest."

The scheme for the current quarter gives, however, only sixty, or making allowance for non-reporting Presbyteries, seventy. In explanation of this discrepancy it must be stated that, in some in- stances, places at one time reported as vacant congregations have become Mission Stations, as East and North Adelaide in the Presbytery of London. In other cases two separate congregations have been united, as Knox Church, Brampton, and Malton, once a vacant charge, with First Con- gregation, Brampton, and Derry West, in the Presbytery of Toronto. It must also be taken into consideration that in some instances Presbyteries report vacancies during the winter, when the supply of student labor is not available, that they may obtain supply from the Probationer's EoU, and do not report them in summer, but place them under the care of students, a practice by no means commendable in all cases, if in any. Were your Committee aware of the number of these, which they are not, it would make up the discrepancy between the vacancies actually reported, or allowed for, and tlie aggregate made uj) from the reports of Presbyteries for the year. Your Committee will be pardoned for remarking that they have had to deal witli several cases of a very delicate nature, and entailing a large amount of correspondence, but as they have aU been arranged, particular reference need not be made to them in this report. At the commencement of the Committee's year, blank forms were prepared, of which a co))y is annexed, and sent to the Convener of the Committee on Distribution in each Presbytery, to be supplied to the Probationers sent to the bounds, that they might report, before leaving, on the items specified; thus enabling the Presbytery to know if they had fulfilled their appointment, and tlie service expected of them, as defined in "Regulations anent Probationers and Vacancies," No. eight. Minutes of Assembly, 1870, page 51), and also the fulfilment by congregations of theii- obli- gations for the sujiply received. Your Committee would close with the following recommendations : — 1. That either the period for probationary service should be shortened, or that the distribution extend over the whole Church,, as contemplated when that period was determined. 2. That i'resbyteries be enjoined to see that vacant congregations pay Probationers in pro- portion to the salary they have been paying their minister, when a settled charge, or which they are prepared to offer when giving a call. 3. That in appointing your Committee one of their [number be taken from those who have been on the I'robationer's Roll, and seen most of the field, and obtained a settlement in the course of the previous year. His experience may be valuable in making out the distril ition. 4. It is earnestly urged that all Presbyteries be required to report quarterl.. all their vacan- liv. APPENDIX. cies, and that all justice be shown Probationers in appointing them to the best, and not merely to the second and tliird rate, or the worst in their bounds. 5. That rrcsbytiTifcs be enjoined to see to it that they do not report as vacancies for supply from the Probationer's lioll, Mission Stations, or places which have no prospect nor design of calling a minister for some time. All which is respectfully submitted. GuELPH, May, 1877. IIOBERT TOllRANCE, Convmcr. Appendix I. VACANCIES AND SETTLEMENTS. Prosbyteries. Quebec . CongrugtitiouB.

In submitting' this ISeport it may not be out of place to state tothe Assembly tliat the division of tlie Home Mission woi k of the( 'hureh into two hrr.nehes has proved successful in the Maritimo Provinces. We have never lieen aided by a Temporalities Fund or endowments of any kind. Wo have never failed to pay the Su]i)ilementH promised, and on the day they were due. We have nev(!r liiul to borrow except from one division of the Treasury totheotlier. And all the engo^'e- ments connected with Home Missions proper liiive been invariably and repularly implemented. All that is needed under (iod to make the Home Mission ojierations of our Church completely successful in these Provinces is that some means should be devised to ensure tin; co-operation of all our couf,'reKations. It is at this point that at present we sif;nally fail. Some coiiKregations do well, but they get disheartened wlien they find that other congregations in their neighborhood do nothing. The neglect of one is thus apt to jmralyse another ; and if something in not done to oure the eyl, the paralysis threnti ns to become comjilete. What means should be devised ; whe- ther the work should be committed to Synods ; or whether it should be committed to Presbyteries, ft Home Mission Committee being appointed in each Presbytery to take oversight of the work and to report at every regular meeting of Presbytery ; or whether the present mode should be contin- ued with some improvements annexed, it is not for your Committee to say. This as well as the question of the proposed assimilation of our practice to that of the late Canada Presbyterian Church the Assembly must decide. Your Committee would be ungrateful did it not in conclusion call the special attention of the General Assembly to the very great liberality of the home Churches, a liberality all the more valued by us from the gracious manner in which it is exercised, and the freedom with which its adminis- tration is left to our own judgment. All which is respectfully submitted. Signed in the name and by authority of the CommiHee, WM. McCULLOCH, Chairman. GEO. M. GRANT, Secretary, pro tern. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF FOREIGN MISSIONS— EASTERN SECTION. The two mission fields, wliich, prior to the Union, belonged to the churches in the Maritime Provinces, have been so far continued under the management of what is called the Maritime or Eastern Section of the General Assembly's Committee on Foreign Missions. The subjoined an- nual statement will refer exclusively to these, and to the designation and departure of Kev. J. F. Campbell, and his arrival and commencement of work in India ; and it has been the aim of the Committee to avoid the repetition of information already laid before the church, except such facts as lie at the foundation of the work, and which must be recalled to moke the narrative intelligible. THE TRINIDAD MISSION. This mission aims at the evangelization of Asiatics in Trinidad, who have been brought from India and China, but chiefly from India, as indentured labourers, bound to remain five years, and then at liberty to return home ; a free passage being secured, or to make their own engagements as free labourers. Some seek employment at once in Trinidad, and many return to their native land, a API'KNDIX. lix. iglit from and then its as free re land, a conKidernble portion of whum conw luick to Mottle pmuiint'iitly, and to licconic a part of tlio rt'Bidcnt jiopiilation.

I. MISSION VILLAdK HISTIUCT. Missionary, Rev. John Morton; Assistant-Missionary, Mr. J.ihn A. McDonald; Native Rv.m- pelist, Mr. Joseph Annajee. For several months of tho )iast year Mr. Morton's services were divided hetween hi'^ own dis- trlct and Mr. Grant's owini,' to the ahscnce (pf Mr. (Iriint. In Mr. .Morton's district, the work was conducted as usiiiii, so far as time and stren>,'th allowed ; mni the cervices at tin' central point.

Mr. Morton thus rejiorts respectin,, ids native evan^'elist. " Annajee has Kfnprally Kiveii bin mornings to tenchinK, and bis afternoon to work anions the atlidts. Of tliis wfirk he usunlly brings me a weekly rejiort, and the work is laid out between us, so as to Kive first attention to places where an interest has been awakened, but not to overlook any portion of the field taken up. Tejab after joins Annajee in his Sabbatli afternoon meetings, and Kantoo has latterly had a dis- trict of liis own in Jordan Hill neighbourhood." scnooLS. There are three Schools in this district — Ist. Jordan Hill continued under the same teacher and with about the same attendance as formerly, the advanced cliildreu being taught to read Hindui as well an English. 2nd. Cedar Hill opened within the year, taught for a time by Annajee, and on his removal by Arthiu Tejab — attendance good, but reduced by the opening of No. 3. 3rd. The Mission School, which was opened July 24, imder charge of Annajee, but since the middle of November, Mr. J. A. McDonald has been teacher ard Aiiuajeo assistant. The at- tendance has risen to sixty. Each School has had its own Sabbath School with a somewhat smaller attendance, the aver- age daily attendance being 100, and on the Lord's day about eighty. BUILDINGS. When our last report was submitted, a house was in course of erection for Mr. Morton's use. This has been completed in July at a cost of $2,382.48 for buildings, and .*34..58 for incidental ex- penses, and paid from what is called the "Crerar lleserve," being a Bequest of late James Crerar of Pictou, which has done good service to the Church, being set apart chiefly to meet ex- l^enditure for Buildings and extra demands, similar in character. The H(jusu thus erected and l>aid for, is carefuUy built and finished ; and will add greatly to the comfort, and we trust to the health of the Mission family. Within the year, a lot with a building on it for School purposes was purchased by Mr. Mor- ton, and the building enlarged so as to become both Church and School-house, at a total cost of ?44o, of which ■?270 are in Mr. Morton's hands from local sources, and all of which he hopes to obtain without asking any thing from our Mission funds. MR. m'donald. Mr. McDonald has been employed during the past year both in the San Fernando and Mission village districts. During Mr. (irant's absence he continued his oversight of the I'ictou, Welling- ton, and other Schools, and after Mr. Grant's return, Mr. McDonald was appointed to labour under direction of Mr. Morton, in Mission village, but directed by the Mission Council to give special attention to the study of the language, so as to be prepared soon to take charge of a dis- trict of his own. Mr. Morton, with whom he has been closely associated during the year, bears ample testimony to his exemplary diligence and general usefulness. Ix. APPRNDIX.

Tb<3 erection of a large and well-ventilated School Building in San Fernando, containing two rooms, Olio for the smaller children and the other for those more advanced. This has been completed at an expenditure of £135 18s. C>d. stg., and provided for, out of the Crerar Mission fund already referred to. Mr. Grant bears testimony to the fidelity and zeal of the little band who work under his di- re -.ion; of liiil Behari, with whose name we are familiar and whose praise is in tbe Churches ; of Tulaksing and George Sadaphal, who are paid agents; of Soudeen, who supports himself as a clerk and gives valuable aid in th(» Sabbath School ; and of Jacob Corsbie now prohably on his way to study under Dr. Tussio at Gait, supported by tbe liberality of Eev. J. K. Smith's Congregation. MISS BLACKADDER. About nine months ago, Jliss Blackadder was accepted as Teacher for the San Fernando School, and arrived in San Fernando near the end of November. The School was soon re-opened, and ere long the place was found too small for the pupils. Hence the pushing forward of the new building as alri'ady described. Miss Blackadder 1ms en- tered with enthufeiasm into the work, and now the daily attendance is large, and the School a decided success. The Sabbath School, with its new Bibles containing Psalms and Paraphrases, furnished by the Ladies of (talt and Hopewell, with its International Lessons, and other modem appliances, not to speak of the benelit from clothing sent by kind friends, has risen to 104 on the roll, and an average of eighty Scholars — all Asiatics. Before the close of Miss Blackadder's second quarter the Woman's Missionary Society of Halifax offered from that date to provide for her support, an offer which was gratefully accepted. This important step introduced this young and useful association to tbe Committee iu a very practical and pleasing manner, and we would joyfully hail them as zealous and valuable coadju- tors in this blessed work, and express the hope that their zeal may provoke very many of oui' Clnistian women to higher efforts to advance Clirist's Kingdom.

At other im^etings attendance has varied from hve to sixty or seventy. In these services the Missionary has been aided liy his Catechist, who '■ lias been busily em- ployed during the whole year."

Creelman had expressed his willingness to go, if called by the Church, and in the meantime had gone for the summer on retpiest of the Maritime Board of Home Missions to the Bay of Islands in Newfoimdlaud. From that employment he returned at the request of tjie Foreign Mission Committee, to be ready, if the funds at command would wan-ant, to proceed to Trinidad, aud it was agreed, as the responsibility of providing support rests at present on the Maritime Section of the Church, to ask the advice of its Synod on that particular point. Before this reference for advice was submitted, the Home Mission Board at tho earnest reque-t of the Presbytery of Newfoundland addressed a call to Mr. Creelman to return to Bay of Islands, for at least one year, to which Mr. Oreelman felt constrained to yield. In these circumstances the re- ference for advice, as to whether ;t was prudent with funds now deficient to assume the liability Ixii.

Mr. Bobertson landed on Erromanga in June 1872. At that time there were seven Church members in full standing on the island, — and two under suspension, — making a total of nine. Since that time ^Ir. Robertson has baptized forty-nine, and restored the two who had been under suspension. This gave a total of tifty-eight Church members on the island. Six hiive been re- removed by death ; and this loss with the exercise of discipline, has reduced the present full membership to forty-six. Of this number fifteen are teachers, and most of the remainder are under instruction with the hope of becoming useful. * About two hundred attend the Sabbath Services on the Dillon's Bay side w^ith more or less regularity ; and 400 on the Cook's Bay side, — making a total of GOO.

M KKXZIE. Nothing of a very exciting character has occurred at Mr. McKenzie's Stations during the past year, and yet there are evidences of progress decisive and encouraging. The change noticed in our last report in the heathen villages of Eralap and Bufa have become more pronounced. Those who slew the first messenger of Christianity, Mr. Morrison's native teacher, have renounced heathenism, and twelve attend the Candidate's Class. About 270 attend worship, on Sabbath, at the four villages — Eraker, Pango, Eralap and Bufa, and at three of these the whole i)0]iulation attend School. Two additional facts may be given of an encouraging character. 1st. — During the past four years there has been no decrease in the population, the births being equal to the deaths; and, 2nd, — Kava, which was drunk to excess by nearly all the natives, has been totally given up by the Church members. IRRIRIKI. This Station having lost the services of Rev. !Mr. Annand, has been placed under charge of Mr. McKenzie. Two teachers from Pango have been settled there, and so far have met with no hostility. As yet, however, nothing really decisive in favor of '^ hristianity can be reported; but l)rayer should go up on behalf of it as one of the dark places of the earth yet to be enlightened, ami we trust soon, b)^ the benign rays of the Sun of Righteousness, with healing in his wings. The New Hebrides Mission, as a whole, is advancing, though slowly. The hindrances, from the labor traflic by which the natives are decoyed away and demoralized, from their deep and hereditary degradation, from their isolation and polyglottism, are very great, and still these are being steadily overcome by hard work and the mighty power of the word of the liOrd. Rev. .T. Inglis has, in published letters, compared the Mission with that of the Episcopal Church, con- ducted by the noble Bishops Selwyn and Paterson, v>n a different plan, with greater resources and mor.' unity of effort, and has shewn that ours has hatl, ai, Icpst, equal success. The races may be feeble, they may be diminishing, they may not be destined to play any importinit ])art in the world's history, but are they to be abandoned? Do they not come within the range of the (ireat Commission? And was not our Church led providentially into this valley of dry hones to preach and to invoke the power and presence of the Divine Spirit? So far our Missionaries have gathered as juany sheaves as the majority of their brethren, either at home or abroad. And now having the joy of welcoming the Free Church of Scotland as the heir of the late Reformed Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and the prosjiect of even heartier co-operation from the Australian Churches, it surely devolves on this Church — the banner Church at least in this Mission — vhich had the honor of drawing in the others as fellow-workers, to strengthen the hands of her present band, and, if at all jiossiblc, to increase their number. Memorial Tablets have been erected within the year in the Anelcauhat Church to Rev. Dr Geddie, and in Dillon's Bay Chapel, to the memory of the Gordon Brothers, and while they as an impressive memento of the zeal and devotion of our Missionary Pioneers, they may also serve to remind us of obligations to follow up their work and gather in the fruit which they sowed. APrENDTX. Ixv. THE "DAYSPRING ns usual has been of invaluable servioo during the year. She made two voj-agcs to Australia, visiting Gtelongand M^lboninc as well as Sydney: She made five voyages round the iolnndswith Mission Stations, and chised by f,'oing to Now Zealand, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Inglis, and the con- tribution of nearly iJOOO lbs. of Arrowroot, and for the children of New Zealand a present of 14000 Cdcoanuts from Aneiteum. She has carried the Mission mails and iirovi:«ionB, invalids to Aus- tralia, and convalescents to their posts again, natives to their homes, and printed hymns and (iiispels to their readers, while she lias bridged the chasm between the Mission-band in heathen- dom, and the Churches by whom they were sent far hence to the Gentiles. The Committee would express cordial thanks to the Sabbath Schools which have done so well, and would invite others to join them to keep our noble Days/^?ing in sailing trim. /• INDIA MISSION — UEV. J. F. CAMPIiELL. A year ago there were two Missionaries in the Lower Provinces about to sail ';ir their respective fields, one to return to his loved employment in Trinidad, after a six month's furlougli ; the other to proceed to India to give himself to the work of bringing the Indians to Christ. Arrangements being comjileted, the Board held a farewell Prayer and Missionary Meeting with them in St. Matthew's Ciiuich. This jiroved an occasion of very great interest, and ministers and people rejoiced in the tokens of the Divine presence. On tin; next day Mr. (irant and family sailed for Trinidad, and on the day following Mr. Campbell sailed for Liverpool, <•// route for India. • It was equally the desire of the Committee and of ^fr. Campbell that he should break his voyage by stopping at St. John's, and spend a fortnight at Newfoundland. Our Missionary did so. a)id laboured with his wonted energy during that fortnight, addressing public meetings, chil- dren's meetings, and women's meetings, on the Lord's days, and, on week days, in St. John's and Harbour (trace. He was met not only with a cordial welcome, but with enthusiasm ; goo Mission. At present two ordained Missionaries, Messrs. Stewart and .Johnson, labour at Prince All)ert. They are assisted by Mr. .Tohn Mackay as interpreter and Missionary Catecliist. .Mr. Mackuy. who has been connected with the Mission from the first exerts a great intiuence among the Indians, and has proved himself a most valuable labourer. Last November, Rev. Hugh McKellar, who was sent out from Manitoba to fill the vacancy occasioned by the unexpected death of Mr. Nisbet, was under the necessity of returning to Ontario. During the two years which he spent at Prince Al- bi rt, he did excellent service in the difficult position which be was called to till. Your Committee ri gret that he could not be induced to return permanently to a position for which he proved him- self so well qualified. Mr. McKellar reports that, during the two years that he was in the iNIis- i-ion, he baptized sixty-seven persons, of whom twenty-nine were Indians. Of the Indians bap- tized, seventeen were adults, and twelve children. The number of communicants on the Roll when he left Prince; Albert was thirty-eight, of whom sixteen were Indians. There were also four or five Indians who had been baptized who were from home at the Communion season, and who were expected to come to the Lord's tnble. In this field there arc four stations in which preacliing is regidarly maintained. In two of these Churches have been erected. V Ixviii. APPENDIX. \l.l\ Last nntunin Mr. D. C. .Johnson, a prolmtioner of tlioChnrch, was Rent ont to take cliarRe df the School iKtablisLfd at I'liuce Albert, and to render kucIi other Hervice to the Mission as hi.s time and strength would allnw. On his way, he was ordained by the Presbytery of Manitoba. He reaeheil his destination on tlie 1st of November, and entered, at once, with energy on his work. The School is Kmall, hut has increased under Mr. .JohnHon's able management. He rejiorts nu average of about thirty pupils during the winter. The attendance was remarkably regular. He ajiliears to have been able to establish a proper understanding with the people and to hnve awakened interest even beyond his expectations. The settlers have evinced their interest priic- tically liy subscribing a considerable jjortion of his salary. From various sources very favourable accounts have come of Mr. .Johnson's success. ^Vhell Mr. .McKellar returned to Ontario, his place was taken by the Rev. Alexander Stewm t, at the recjuest of the Presbytery of Manitoba. Mr. Stewart had been sent West under the Husjii- ces of the Home Mission Committee, to supply Battleford, the inciiiient capital of the North- West, but discovering that the city was still unhuiU and that nothing could be done in what will soon be an important centre, he returned to Prine^e AUiert. Your Committee deemed thenisehiv^ fortunate in seenring such a Missionary for a few months. His period of service has now nearly expired, and another laJiourer is urgently required to fill his place. Messrs. McKellar, Ktewart, and .Johnson all think that the time has come when tiieEngli'^h and the Indian work should be separated. Mixed services in Fnglish and in Cree are no lougi r adapted to the wants of the po])uhitiou. Many of the English (o not understand Cree. and many of the iiulians do not understand English. Your Committee fully concur in tjiis o]iiiii(in. and have taken stejis to give it practical effect. They may add that as the English dei>artment of the work will in future be purely Home Missionary in its nature, they trust this Assembly will at once transfer it to the care of the Home Mission Committee. At Okanasae, an Indian Reserve, about twenty miles from Fort Pelly, Rev. (ieorge Flett has laboured during the year with an encouraging measure of success. ^Ir. Flett has access to nearly 400 Indians in that region, about 200 of whom are settled at Okanasse, and about 200 make Fort I'elly their head(iuarters. He re]iorts twenty-eight communicants, twelve Indians, twelve half-breeds and four whites. Of these ten reside at Okanasse, ten at Fort I'elly, and eight at Little Saskatchewan. During the year there liaT^becn fifteen bajitisms ; thirteen children and two adults have received the initiatory rite of Christianity. Intelligent visitorswho have been at Okanasse au he states that 1,856 new patients were treated by him, which will give some idea of the extent of his opportunities of usefulness. In jirfisecuting his work at Tamsui, Dr. Frasei' has continued to enjoy the valuable aid of Dr. Ringer, the physician of the English residents at Tamsui. who has given almost daily attendance at the hospital. Of the patients treated, 1,155 were males, and 201 females. "The disparity in the numbers of the different sexes will ho easily understood." Dr. Eraser remarks, "by those who arc acquainted with woman's social jiosition in China. There are numbers of Chinese women who would be greatly the better of some rational medical advice and treatment, but who, tlu'ough false ideas of ju'opriety, will never come to a public hospital for relief. It is jileasing to have i^veii as many exceptions as we have had to this miserable and absurd social custom." Daily religious services are lield in the hospital and all the patients are cordially invited to attdid. The ma- jority embrace the opportunity thus presented of hearing the Ciospel, and in this way and by personal conversation the minds of many afllicted ones are directed to the Cheat Physician. The medical work done in Tamsui by no means represents the extent to which the healing art is made tributary to the cause of Christ in Northern Formosa. Rev. Ct. L. Mackay has, from APPENDIX. ixix the lii |.'iiniiii},' iif the inissidii, inade uso r ' his mediciil knowlwlgo to (ipcu the hearts of the iitMii>lf to the roci'ptioii of his niessage. lie still i)ursucH the same course with success. In travi Hint,' from }ilaee to place in his evuDKelistio tours, he disiJcnsed medicine, during the past yrar to nut less than 2, -i;tO patients, lint while Mr. Maekay makes use of the healing' art as ft hiiiiiliiiaid to the in-caching of the (iospel, it is specially to the work of iirodaiminK' the uu- iicarclmhlf riches of Christ, and to the training' of native helpers that he devotes his energies, llr also takes the constant oversi^-ht of all the stations which he visits in succession. The jiro- irres- made since he connneuced his lahours, a little more than tiv years ii>,'o, is matt( r for di voiit t-'ratitude to (lod. Since that time eleven chapels have been built, seventy-tive comn.ani- ciiiit- have been received iiito full fellowship with the Church, and a native Christian community now nuniherin^^ four or fivc'huiidrcc! gathered out of heathenism. I'lleven native Jielpers, enre- fiilly trained by Mr. Maekay, aid him in his work, six teachers are engaKed in training the young, and eight students are now under instruction for missionary service. It is, jjcrhaps, impossible to give a better idea of the work accomplislied and the change wrought since Mr. Maekay entered on his work, than by (juoting the words of the last letter re- dived from him. It is dated Au-po. I'ith March, 1H77. " Ihuvellons are Thy works. Lord God Almighty.' When I lamled here Hound Northern Formosa an unbroken field, where gross darkness prevailed and horrid cruelty reigned. I rented a small house which the owner intended to use as a horse stable, and began to use broken sentences in Chinese, and in two months i made' known the way of salvation through Christ, every morning and evening, to those who felt disjjosed to listen. I soon left the Port, went into th(! country, and made known the Gospel of Jesus in nearly every village within twelve miles around. By this time large crowds began to assemble, to the great indignation of the literati, otlicials and underlings. The former followed me, and on many occasions a dozen teachers, and several graduates stood around me, ready for discussion. Kight or wrong I was determined to fight out the battle with them, and studied night after night, and went forth in the day time to meet them. In a few months I could not get a man in Northern Formosa who wished to discuss Confucianism, Buddhism, Tanism, or Christianity. From that time to the jiresent we have hail /tv/iv, and our eleven helpers are neither afraid ni r ashamed to preach Christ to any 1/ody of men who may assemble in Northern Formosa. Another class besides tlie literati followed me for a different ]iurpose. I could not go away from the house without six or twelve soldiers being close after me, and ciadd scarcely pass a night away from the fort without several sleeping outside of the house in which 1 chanced to take up my abode. When sick, I gave them medicines, which made tliem more friendly. I was not long here until foul placards were posted up in many places. These represented me as the Queen's agent, for plucking out eyes, etc., and sending them to England to manufacture opium out of them. My life was threatened many times, and every conceivable obstruction put in my way. As I thus review the past and compare the present, I observe many marked and notable changes, and last Friday reminded me of some of them. Nineteen young men, all of whom I taught myself, met me in a good comfortable house for examination. Eleven are helpers and eighi, are students. There are eleven Chapels where people can hear the Gospel ;ireached, every morning and evening, and there are upwards of seventy names on the Connuunion lioll, and there have been no suspensions. Hundreds attend the eleven Chapels, and hundreds juore hear the (jospel in the hospital. I travelled barefooted over hills and mountains, under torrents of rain, and preached salvation through a critcified Saz'iour, in every village in Northern Formosa, several times. To-day I find hundreds friendly wherever I go. I feel as safe as if in Toronto or Woodstock. No soldiers follow. No literati come boasting their classics, and no Buddhist priests gather around to display their knowledge of Buddha. Still there are enemies innumerable, and foes ever watching us. The literati are not converted, and the soldiers are not Christians. For all the work done, for all achieved during the past five years, I say, from the depths of my soul, let Jehovah, our God, have all the praise, now and forever." Labours such as Mr. Maekay has undergone, in Formosa, are more than the most robust con- stitution can, especially in such a climate, safely endure. It need not excite surjirise that his health has begun to suffer, and that to others, if not to himself, the need of rest is apparent. It is icry diflicidt, however, for him, in the present state of the Mission, to leave even for a short season. Other labourers should be sent at once to relieve the overtasked brethren now in the field, and to carry on the wi)rk which promises such a rich return. Your ('ommittee, feeling the iniiiortance of sending more Missionaries to Formosa, recently applied, in succession, to two Min- isters of the Church, who were regarded as well iiualified for the position, but, in both cases, the brethren so called did not feel themselves in circumstances to accept the call tendered to them. Iir. — MISSION TO INDIA. In this department the Church has, during the year, taken a decided step in advance. It can now be said that there is a Canadian Mission in India. Since 187-i Misses Rodger and Fair- weather Lave laboured in India under the care of tiie American Presbyterian Missionaries. But 1-. Ixx.

After a prosperous voyage he reached lioinbay on the '2'2nd December, wliere he received ,i cordial wilcome from liev. K. Stotliert, and f)ther Missionary brethren.

They also sujijiiied Mr. Douglas with atrained native Catechist, through whose agency the work of preaching the (iosjad to tbe heathen could be commi'iiced ;it once. On the'J.'ith of .laimary they reached tbe Capital of the Holkar"s territory, and Mr. Dou^'lus found himself tbe sole Protestant Slissionary in a heathen city of 70,000 inhabitants. As Imloic is in a native state, under Pritish jirotection, but not directly under British iiiK- some uncertaintv was felt in regard to the receiition which Missionaries might receive, .\fter surveying the tiell and gaining such information as Ik! could collect on the spot, !Mr. Douglas judged that a, favoridile opening jiresented itself and he decided to .stablisb himself there. A suitable house was secured for himsi'lf, and another for Mis' es Fair veatiier and Itodger, who removed immediately to Indole and entered on their work. They ha\'^ already obtained access to a number of high-casti; Zenanas, und a school for Mahomnudau girls has been begun. Educated native gentlemen have ex- pressed their cordial interest in female education, and there seems to be a good jirospcct that tbe young ladies sent out from Canada will find in this growing city an ample Held for successful work. Mr. Douglas has been appointed otliciating Chaplain to Her Majesty's troojis at Mhow, which is thir- teen miles from Indore. Tliis position he values highly for the influence which it gives him. I3y the ollicers of the British Oovernment he has been shown much kindness, and, from one of them, be has received the donation of a valuable case of Bibles, books and tracts. These are sold V)y the Catechist to the people, who seem ready to secure them. It is too soon to speak of results. And it may be well for the Church, while resting with con- fidence in the promises of her Head, not to grow impatient if the seedtime and the harvest are in such a region as Indoro separated by a very considerable interval. The influence of that prepara- tory work which for seventy years has been going on in India, may be less felt in these semi-inde- pendent States, like the Holkar's, than in other parts of the country nearer the gieat centres of missionary work. And when success comes, it need excite no surprise if special difficulties have to be encountered by the converts. Your Committee rejoice that during the year the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society has made gratifying progress. Vvhen its constitution was sanctioned by last Assembly, the Society had scarcely entered on its work. At the close of the first year of its history it was able to report eighteen au.\iliaries and four or five mission bands, and contributions to the amount of §1,107.00, of which the sum of §1, 000. 00 has been handed over to your Committee for the support of the ladies now labouring in India. Such substantial aid already rendered to the work of carrying f'je gospel to the women and children of heathen lands is itself a pledge that this Society is destined to become a most important auxiliary to your Committee. It is satisfactory to note that the work of this Society does not appear in any case to have interfered with the ordinary Foreign Mission Fund, or with the other schemes of the Church. It seems much more likely by increasing the interest felt in the cause of Christ, to evoke a larger liberality in sunport of every form of Christian wf rk. Your Committae trust that the cordial support of the Cnurch will enable the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society to extend itself rapidly in the future. The services of two young ladies, Misses Forrester and McGregor, who will be prepared to proceed to India in autumn, have been accepted by your Committee. There are many doors of usefulness there open for them, and it ii, hoped that the liberality of the Church, and especially of the Christian women of the Church, will amply sustain the Committee in sending them forth on their noble mission. Your Committee have learned with pleasure that the Kev. J. F. Campbell has, as authorized by last Assembly, decided to visit Indore, and they would greatly rejoice should his visit result in his permanent removal to that tield. It seems desirable that all the missionaries sustained by the Church in India should in the meantime be united in one vigorous mission.

Tlie expenditure is also much less. In the Formosa Mission alone the payments are nearly ten thousand dollars loss than on the previous year. The large jiaynu^nts made hist year for house ImiidiuK will not recjuire to he rejieated for some years to come, hut the ordinary ex()endituro for the working of all the missions must he exjx'cted to increase gradually. Your Committee feel that the trilling halance on hand which they report is altogether inade([uato at the commencement of the year. It involves the necessity of horrowing large amounts to meet current expenses. Hut as no special elfort has for several years heen put forth on huhalf of the Foreign Mission F'und, it seems reasouahle that such an effort should ho made duruig the current year. In closing, yotir Committee submit to the General Assembly, for acceptance, the following recommendations, viz : I. That the English department of the work at ^rinco Albert be transferred to the Homo Mission Committee. II. That the Foreign Mission Committee be authorized to send deputations to visit the con- fliegations of the Church, or to employ other suitable means to evoke increased liberality in sup- port of this scheme. All of which is respectfully submitted. WM. McLaren, Convener, ToBONXO, Wk June, 1877. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE MISSION TO THE LUMBER- MEN IN THE VALLEY OF THE OTTAWA. The Mission to the Lumbermen has been more widely extended during the past winter than during any previous season. Three Missionaries have been directly employed in the work of the Mission, who, in addition to preaching the Gospel in the shanties, depots, etc. visited by them, have, as usual, distributed large quantities of appropriate literature, and have forwarded a great deal of such literature to districts which they were unable to visit. A considerable quantity of literature, supplied by the Committee, has also been forwarded through the kind co-operation of Bible Society colporteurs and of the lumberers themselves, some of whom have taken a deep interest in the work of the Mission. The literature thus distributed, comprises, among other publications, a very great variety of tracts in English and French, many copies of " British Workman," "Family i'riend," "Cottager and Artizan," " Weekly Welcome," " L'Ami de la Maison," '• LOuvrier F'rancais," " Le Messager Les Families," bound volumes of "Sunday at Home," '•Leisure Hour," "Tract Magazine," etc. The shantymen are accustomed to contribute to the fundsof the Mission, but the receipts from them have been much diminished during the past season, owing to the severe depression of the lumber trade and the consequent reduction of wages. Our Missionaries are instructed carefully to abstain from soliciting any subscriptions from the men, yet, at the same time, to accept any voluntary contributions. This practise removes all ground for supposing that our Missionaries visit the shanties for the purpose of collecting money, while, if any of the men desire to express their sympathy with the Mission and their gratitude for benefit received from it, they may do ao by assisting its funds. Though the receipts from the men this year have been much smaller than last year, yet there is ample evidence that the visits of the Missionaries and the suppUes of literature have been as p Ixxii.

Owinj,', however, to tho nature of the season and condition of tho roadw, tiio MissionarioH were not able to spend (luito aa uiueh time in tho shantieu an had been expected at tho beginning of the winter. The U( V. M. Turnbull, who has been visiting in the lumbering districts of th" Ottawa and its tributaries above Pembroke, reports, — " l)in'iiig .lanuury and l''ebruary 1 was fully occujiied, but in tho beginning of Mareh tho road got so bare of snow that 1 was compelled to giV(^ up the work. Later on snow fell, and the sleigh- ing became bettor, but as I Iiad sent away my team I did not think of resuming the work for the short season that remained ; and, besriles, a gooil many of the shaiitios which I Hhould linvo visited had received visits from tie! Agents of the Bibb^ Society. I may mentiou that, knowing that th(;se visits would bo paiil Ijy tho Sociioty's Colporteurs, I laid myself out to go to the shanties at a distanco, — on 'I'eniiscamingue and Kippewa. There I visited •ir> shanties and 15 depots, (fMuling access, in this way, to about 1,000 persons,) ]>reacliing the (rospel in nearly all, and dis- tributing tho literature with wiiich I was so lilxM'ally su))p!ioJ by thi^ Committee. ".\s regards contributions from shantymen, I have to report only tho receipt of S'20.00.'' The Committee regret that Mr. T'urnbull will Im unablo to o^^;age any longer in tho Mission work of tho Cppor Ottawa. He has been earnest and unwearied in liis laliours among tho Shanty, men. Tho Committee hope that, during the i)ri'sent season, an appropriate successor to .Mr. Turnbull may bo secured, who .shall, during tho winter, labour among the shantymen. Tho Rev. ■!. Gaudier, of Fort (Jolongo, who visited shanties on the tributaries of the Ottawa, between Pembroke and Ottawa, rei)orts— "I mado great efforts to spend from three to four months in the work of the]Nfission, butt^ick neaa, and the want of sleighing and delay in getting the literature prevented me, so that nine weeks has been all tho timo that I could devote to the work. During that time 1 visiteil ii\) shanties, 13 depots, 17 stopping places, and 19 families — in all HH visits — i)roached tho Word iV.i times, and thus addressed about 1300 i)orsons. I baptized seven children. I visited nearly all the shanties on Black liiver and the Colonge, several on the I'iokanock, and all on tho (Ottawa as far up as Dorau's on Deep liiver. I started to visit thoso on the Bonchero and Madawaska, but "n attack of intlammation of the throat and quinsy compelled mo to return. When 1 was sullicu-ntly recovered to go again, the bad sleighing would not permit. As there were parts thus left unvisited, I forwarded pajiers. as far as possible, to those shanties. "The amount cnutributed to the funds of tho Mission, oy men in the shanties, isft94.2o. By tho universally kind manner in which your missionary is received, by the eagerness to get, and intense interest in reading the now literature, by the strict attention during the whole of the religious services, and by tho pecuniary support from the shanties, we have much reason to conclude tliat our work is prospering. Tho Lord grant that it may prosper a thousand fold more. The llev. T. Brouillotto, who is ordained missionary at tho Desert, and who has been visiting the shanties on tho Gatineau and Lievres, reports : " I entered on this mission in the second week of January, and continued my visits until the roads broke np, about the 2'2nd JIarch, having been interrupted nearly two weeks by sickness in my family. During this time, a little over c ight weeks. I visited the shanties of Messrs. Gilmour & Co., Hall cfc Co., Hamilton Bros., and Edwards; in all twenty-one shanties, ami twenty-two farms and depots, representing ()f)'2 mqp. With two exceptions I furnished all these shanties, farms and depots with the tracts and other literature which your Convener sent me. The re- spect shown to your missionary, the attention paid to his addresses, the joy with which many of these men listened to the preached Gospel are sufficient evidence that your missionary was really welcome. I feel satisfied that the benefit received from the tracts and literature is very, very great. Tho French particularly, are getting untold benefit from the French tracts, which most of these received with joy and gratitude. " Contributions to the amount of |41.8'^ were received from some of the shantymen, without any solicitation, simply accepted when preseuted." Mr. Day, Colporteur of the Ottawa Auxiliary Bible Society, who distributed a quantity of literature while visiting the shanties, in the interests of the Bible Society, rejiorts : " The tracts and other papers with which you kindly furnished me have been distributed, in seventeen shanties that had not been previously visited. At five depots and a number of stop- ])ing places some reading matter was left and very kindly received. These very excellent papers will reach about 600 souls." Sui)plies of literature were also furnished to Mr. 4)avid Scharf, who, though not under the direction of the committee, visited and addressed the men in many of the shanties on the Mada- waska and adjacent rivers, including those of Hon. James Skead, Messrs. IJronson & Weston, Batson ifc Currier, J. R. Booth, McLaren & Co., and some belonging to Messrs. Gilmour & Co., on the Trent. Mr. Scharf thinks that the literature supplied to him by the committee must have been distributed among nearly 2,000 men. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, oi Alice and Pettawawa, also visited a number of shanties, holding service among the men. AIM'KNDIX.

The Committee, therefore, hojie that every needful assistance will berendiiied to enable them to |ir(jsecuto with increased oueri^y and usefulness this important branch of the work of the Church. The Committee Ki'atefuUy acknowled(,'o the generous dona*'on from tho London Tract Society of a quantity of their publications, ciijual in value to the amount purchased ; also, contri- butions of literature from Messrs. S. W. I'artrid^'e (V Co., of London, and from the French Cana- dian Missionary Society, of Montreal. Tlioy also acknowledge with gratitude tho support rendered to tho mission by some of the lumberers and by many of the shantymeu, as well as by otlii.'rs, through whose co-operation the work of the missionaries has been sustained. Tho Com- mittee are awaro that there are other portions of the country besides the Ottawa Valley whoro luinheriug is e.Ktensively carried on, and they are not awaro of any efforts to meet the spiritual wants of the lumbermen in such districts. They venture to suggest tliat work similar to that which has been sc favourably prosecuted in tho Valley of the Ottawa might be undertaken in other sections of tho Church. Till! Committee are of opinion that though this mission may well deserve tho attention and elicit tho sympathy of the (!hurch at largo, it should ospecially commend itself to tho membership of the Church within tho Synod of Montreal and Ottawa. No assistance has hitherto been asked or received for it from the Home Mission Fund: and, amid the many demands made upon that fund it may be desirable that this work among the lumbermen should be carried on independent of it, although under better circumst.,ncos it might liave a very fair claim upon its support. Tho C!ominittoe theixifore suggest that tho \ssembly should specially recommend this mission to the support of tho congregations within the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa.

The Committoo of tho Indian Orphanage and Juvenile Mission Scheme thankfully report tho continued UKofulness of tho schenio, under tho Divine blessing, as well as tho continued interest of children of the Churcli in itsi nupport. It has felt a little, during tho past year, the crami)ing in- lluouco of tho general lluancial depression ; but, owing to the widening interest shown in it from year to year, this circumstance has not appreciably alTected its receipts. Although one or two schools which were wont to contribute, have, owing to various causes, ceased to do so, others which promise to contribute still more generously, are coming forward to supply their place. Tho work of this Scheme has been, in tho past, mainly confined to supporting Hindoo chil- dren — chiolly low-caste children, — at tho various Orphanages, in which they received a Chri-tian education and training. Now, however, owing to the rapidly changing circumstances of the coun- try, to th(! much freer access to Zenana homes, and to the children of the higher castes which is now permitted, -it is tiiought that a greater amount of good can be accomplished at less ex- pense, through the agency of higii-ciiste .schools, and of native Bibiewomcn wlio, for a small salary, undertake to visit several Zenanas daily, carrying to the imi)risouod inmates, — often weary and heavy-laden, — the glad tidings of Gospid liglit, and in many cases, a now life. Four high-casto schools have been maintained at Cabiutta by tiiis scheme for some years past, and of these wo have had, from time to time, very satisfactory accounts, several of tlie girls supported at the Cal- cutta Orphanage by our Sabbath Scliools having proved themselves excellent and efficient teachers of the bright little creatures, from three years old upward, who gladly come to be taught. Recently, tho Madras Orphanage has been relin(|uished, for tho reason already referred to, and the Sabbath Schools formerly supporting ori)hans at that institution have been asked, for tho present at least, to unite in groups of four or live to support native Biblewomen at a salary of #100 per annum. Most of these schools have cordially responded to tho invitation, to av.iil them- solvea of this new and interesting opening, whilo ono or two have wiUingly agreed to undertake AI'I'KNDIX.

In conclusion, your Committed t'arnoHtly hopu and pray that bleHsini' which alono '• giveth llu) increase" may continue to inaku this Scheme a channel of life-giving light from the childrou uf our own favoured land and C'hurch, to the many sitting in spiritual darkness in distant India, mid that it may bu privileged to bear its humlile part in bringing about thu blessed time when itvcn that magnificent but still darkened realm .shall be " full of the knowledge of tho Lord, as ths waters cover the 8oa."

The exfc-ndiiure of the year amounted to $1 3,779. .^9; which is Jir)2.*'l less than that of the preceding year. From these state me'nts it will he seen that the oxjicnditure of the^ year is ?;i,9iri. GO greater than the ineenne.

Mr. Hiickins has been re-ajipointe il ste'ward, the> experie'nce of the last two years, as to the number of students like'ly to hoard in the iustitutiem, enabling the Board to effect considerable retrenchment in this appointnu'nt. It is evide'ut that tho great difliculty in meeting the curre^nt expenditure of tho College is eiccasioned by the debt on the' Ordinary Fund.

Bryce, B.A., accepted, for a time, an ajipointment in the Agricultural College of Ontario, and retii-cd from the classes a few weeks before the close of the Session. The following abstract of the Class Reports is here given. Princijjal Caven, as in past Ses- sions, had three classes under his care — the Senior and Junior Exegetical (.'lasses, and the Class in Biblical Criticism. In the Senior Exegetical Class lectures were given on the first five Chapters of the Epistle to the Romans, and on portions of Isaiah and of the Ptalms. Eacli Student of the third year prepared a Critical Exercise with Additions. The Junior Exegetical Class read critically the first five Chapters of the Acts of the Apostles, and the first five Chapters of Genesis. A series of lectures on the Principles of Interpretation was given in this Class. The Class in Biblical Criticism went over all the main topics embraced in the elements of that study. Professor Gregg conducted the following Classes: First — Apologetical, attended by Students of the first year. The usual topics were discussed in this Class. 5(), awarded to George Inglis ; Alexander Scholarship (II.), $40, awarded to John Gibson. Tzvo in the third year: Cooke's Church Scholarship, $00, awarded to Mai. McGregor ; Andrew F. Skinner Hcholarshij), $o(», awarded to John A. Turnbull. Two in the fourth year: Loudon Scholarship (I.), $00, awarded lO D. C. Mackenzie ; London Scholarship (II.), $40, awarded to a meritorious sttident. Somo of these University Scholarships have been given by the congregation whoso name they bear, for several years. That from Zion Church, Brantford, was giver, for tho first time last ses- sion; as was also the \. P. Skinner Scholarship. This latter was contributed by relations of tho lately deceased Mr. Skinner, of Hamilton, as a fitting honour to one who took so largisan intercut in Knox College, as in tho general work of th(i Presbyterian Chir'cli, and whoso very last public service was the raising of a Scholarship from a few friends in Hamilton. In the Theological department a Scholarshi]) of tho annual valui' of $0^^ has been founded by M. C. Cameron, Esq., of Goderich, in memory of lis son, a very excdleni young man, who was removed from earth in December last. To Mr. Cameron, also, the thanks of the Senate are tendered, with earnest sympathy. At least twenty students, some in tho Theological cotirso and some attending tho University, boarded outside the college.

In Tlieolo(,'y two students were admitted to the first year, one to tlie second and ouo to the third, the latter gentlemen hein^' received ad aindiDi statum from other colleges. Thi; report of the Senate shows that at the final examinations in the end of March, eighteen students were certified as liaving eom))leted theii' first year in the Literary course; eleven tlieir second; and eight their tliird. At the same time nine students coffii)leted their first year in Tlie- ology ; and seven their second ; while five ended sticcessfully their course of prejiarntion for the work of the ministry, and are now ayijilying to be rectived on trials for license. In addition to these fifty-eight classified students there are seven in Theology, and as many in the Literary Department as yet unclassified, who will take their places in the October examination. Tlie increase in the number of students attending the College, and their ])roficiency in tlie various dejiartments of study, as attested by the above-mentioned reports, are a gratifying testi- mony to the popularity and efticieney of the institution, an)hip, second year Thcdlo^y, t^loO, W.

The Professors and Lecturers in the several departments report regnlar attondanci' and uniform diligence and .success on the imrt of all students under their care. Thowork of each year was carried on in the manner and to the extent indicated in the Calendar. The llev. Principal McVicar, LL.D., had charge of the classes in Systematic Theology, ilomiletics andChurch Government; the llev. Professor Campbell, M.A., conducted the classics in Church History and Apologetics; and the llev. John Scrimger, M.A., those in Greek and Hebrew Exegesis. For instruction in the Hebrew Language and in Oriental Literature, students attended, as heretofore, classes in McGill College. The class in Sacred Rhetoric and Elocution, under the care of the Rev. W. Mitchell, 15. A., met twice a week during the tirst term. The attendance of studeuts of the several years was largo and regular, and the progress made highly satisfactory. Tlie special training of French Studeuts was carried on in a thoroughly olBcicnt and saoisfac- tory manner, by the llev. iienjamin Ouriere, whoso services were secureil after tho declinature by the llev. C. Doudiet, at the beginning of tlio Session of tho General Assembly's ajipointment as Lecturer in this department. The Senate have this Session again tho pleasant iluty of acknowledging the obligations under which A. C. Hutchison has placed tho College, by delivering a special course of lectures in Ecclesiastical Architecture. These wore of much practical value, and were largely attended by studeuts of the several years, both Literary and Theological. PRErAKATORV CLASSES. Li this department Mr. Alexander MacFarlane acted as Classical tutor, and Mr. A. C. Morton as Mathematical tutor. In addition to the classes conducted by the tutors, students in this course wore required to take lectures and pass examinations in the following subjects at McGill College : — First year. — English, Ancient History, and Outlines of Chemistry, &•(■(;«(/ i'iV7r.— History of English liiterature, Outlines of Modern History, Outlines of I5(jt- any or Zoology, Logic, and the Elements of Hebrew Grammar. Tliird year. — Outlines of Geology, Mental and Moral Philosophy, with Hebrew Grammar and Translation. nONOUB COURSE. In addition to the ordinary subjects taught in the classes of the various Professors, as pre- scribed for each year, in which every student must pass an examination at the close of the session, an honour course is provided, which is optional, and in which exammations are held without lectures, and to which certificates of honour, scholarshijis and mudals are attached. This course is found to be of great value in elevathig the standard of theologicjd attainments; and tho Senate observe with deep satisfaction the increased number of competitors during the past session, as well as the unusually high order of the examinations jjassed. The books of the honour course in each year are generally selected from among those to which attention has been directed, and a jjartial analysis of which has been given m *the classes. The following are the books at present in use : — First year. — Butler's Analogy of Religion to the Constitution and Course of Nature ; Rawlin- sOn's Historical Evidences ; Blaikie's " For the Work of the Ministry;" Book of Joshua, chaps, i.-iii., in Hebrew ; Epistle to Pliihppians in Greek.

Much gratitude is due to the beuifuctors who put it in the power of the Senate to award these useful and valuable prizes. Special jiremiums of this kind, of the aggregate value of #210, are otiered for competition next session. THEOLOGICAL STUDIES. In one of the departments of the Theological Faculty the subjects of study v.-cre tlie Evi- dences of Eeligion, particularly the auxiliary evidences of Christianity, tho Inspiration of Scriiiture, and the doctrines of Sin, the Atonement, and I'redestinatiou, with cognate tojiics. 1 ctures were rilio given once a week, ou F'riday afternoon, on Ilomiletics aud Pastoral Theology, an 1 on Monday afternoon, on a portion of the Greek New Testament. IIIB» rr,v, (rescnius' Grammar, verbs iind syntax, Psalms i.-xxx., Chaldee, Daniel ii.-iii. In both classes translation into Hebrew wererpijuired in the form of writti n exercises ; for liUdical Criticism, the f;reater jiart of the Epistle to the llomans iu Greek, Biblical llcrmeneutics (An^us), New Testament Introduction (lectures) ; for Church History, Ancient Church (Killen), Centuries vi.-xii. (Wharey), with lectures by the Professor on the first three centuries. In both departments discourses re(iuired by the Church were heard, essays were prescribed, and periodical examinations in writing were held. There were oral examinations almost daily. DEOREK OF lUCIIELOB OF mVI.MTT. The regulations respecting the degree of Bachelor of Divinity have been revised by the Sen- ate, and, as revised, they have been sanctioned by the Boavi. It is hoped tliat tlicy will prove to \:Q better adapted to the jiurposes contemplated than those hitherto in force.; In framing them the leading features of the Scottish University regulations have been followed. All candidatos must bo graduates in Arts of some recognized University. The examinations are open to students at- tending any Theological College, and while they may be passed at intervals the degree is not conferred until the candidate has completed his curriculum. The subjects are divided into two departments, in the first of which students may be examined after attending two sessions. Can- didates who have completed their course may be examined in either of the dejiartments and defer their examination in the other, provided there be not a greater interval tlian two years be- tween the two examinations. The regulatv.>ns are given in full on page twenty-six of the Calendar. OBITUARY N0TICE8. On the 11th of June last occurred the deatli of one of tlie best and most constant friends of the institution. The allusion is to the late John Wathins, Esq., of Kingston. During his life- time he manifested a generous interest in everything alTecting the welfare of the College, and contributed to its support and usefulness by many benefactions. His liberality is the more to be appr(!ciated because he was not a Presbyteri<;n, but a member of the Church of England. Among his bequests to public institutions were $4,000 for the use of the College, and a further sum of ^1,300 for the endowment of a scholarship given annually by him, since the year 1802, to the pupil of the Kingston Collegiate Institute, who, having passed the best examination on the matri- culation subjects of the University, became an intrant in the Faculty of Arts. The executcTs of Mr. Watkins paid the amount of these bequests on the 27th March. By the death of Mrs. Edward H. Hardy, which took place on 13th December, another warm friend of the College has been taken away. Following the example of her late husband she con- tributed annually i scholarship of 850. This scholarship ceases, but the Senate has been enabled to supply thf blank with another of the same value. LECTURESHIP IN ELOCUTION. Deeming it advisable to devote the Watkins bequest "f $4,000 to some purpose of common advantage to the students, the Board has resolved that the interest which shall accrue from its investment shall be appropriated in the meantime to the support of a '"ctureship in Elocution, and has appointed Alexander Melville Bell, Esq., formerly Lecturer on Elocution iu University College, London, to the oilice thus instituted. MEDALS. An effort has been made to obtain by sub.^criptions a sufficient sum to defray the expense of procuring a pair of dies for the stamping of medals, and the effort has been so far successful, that two gold medals, the gift of John Carruthers, Esq., Kingston, are announced for competition next session. One is offered for the best examination in the honour work in Mathematics and tho other for the best examination in the honour work in Greek — the competition to be open to all undergraduates attending the classes in Arts. The dies will be the property of the University. Under this arrangement a benefactor may at any time either authorize the giving of a single medal or by an endowment (from f (iOO to $700) provide for a permanent annual award. In like manner, bui a,t less expense, silver modals may be given or founded. COLLEGE SOCIETIES. The various College So' 'eties, such as the Missionary Association, the Alma Mater Society, Elocution Association, CileeClub, etc., by their meetings for business, debates, readings, practice of music, etc., afford a relaxation, at once agreeable and useful, from continuous study and the ex- acting routine of class work. In connection with them students hold intercourse with ex-stu- dents, anil both have opportunities of cultivating those gifts and acciuiring those habits which are specially helpful in the api)lication of scholastic attainments to the duties of active, professional life. The authorities have pleasure in giving facilities to these Societies for the holding of meet- ings within the College buildings, and have every reason to express their satisfaction with the vigorous yet orderly manner iu which the meetings are cou'lucted. APPENDIX. XCU COLLEGE JOURNAL. The Queen's College Journal, managed by a Committee of tlio Alma Mater Society and pub- lished fortnightly during the session, han completed its fourth volume. It has been favoured with such a steady increase of patronage that the Society thinks itself warranted in announcing its de- termination to incur a greater expenditure, for tin; enlargement of its contents and the improve- ment of the press work. It has been a useful means of circuliiting intelligence V)eariug upon the progress of the University, of stimulating a friendly interest in its affairs, and of maintaining fra- ternal communication between the men of to-day and those who, in successive sessions during the lengthening history of past years, have gone forth from College Halls into the vocations of active life. The Trustees are pleased to recognize the ability with which it has hitherto been conducted and the respectful manner in which its suggestions and opinions have been expressed. UNIVEBSITT COUNCIL. The University Council which came into existence this time last year under the Act of the Province of Ontario, 38 V'ic. Cap. Ixxvi. , has had three meetings during the session, including the first annual mt^eting which was held yesterday. As empowered by ju-ovincnal statute it has framed a code of by-laws relative to the exercise of its function^, and has discussed several ques- tiniis of importance to the welfare of the University. The Council consists of six-six members be- sides the Chancellor, of whom the Trustees and members of Senate form one-half, the other half being elective members representing lie registered graduates and alunnii of all former years. The deliberations and proceedings of so large and influential a body, uniting as it does the whole brotherhood of ex-students with the governing and teaching functionaries, should be attended with advantage to every class of interest pertaining to the stability and prosperity of the institu- tion, and the few meetings that have been held afford assurances that this will not fail to be the case. FIRST CHANCELLOR. The above mentioned statute provides for the triennial election of a Chancellor, whom it de- scribes as " the highest officer of the University and College." C:i the lOth day of January Dr. Cook, of Quebec, was unanimously chosen first Chancellor. His installation to office took place at the annual Convocation held yesterday afternoon, when the attendance of the public, including many graduates and friends from a distance, far exceeded the limits of comfortable accommoda- tion. ADDITION TO LIBRARTf AND MUSEUM. During the past year numerous important works have been added to the Library. These con- sist of lyi volumes obtained by purchase, 186 by binding, and 80 by donation, total 463. Pamph- lets on miscellaneous subjects, to the number of 50, som" of them being of more than passing or local interest, have also been received. Periodical Literature has been represented by sixteen publications, consisting of leading reviews, journals, and records. The Curator of the Museum reports the receipt of two valuable collections, one from the Hon. Robert Hamilton, late inspecting Chief Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company, and the other from a graduate, Kenneth N. Fenwick, M.A., M.D., Kingston. The Board has pleasure in record- mg its gratitude to those friends who have kindly aided the Institution in these useful departments of its appliances. BCBOLABSHIP AMD BUBSABY FUND. The Scholarship and Bursary Fund, a statement of which is appended, show.s receipts from thirteen congregations amounting to $295, and the sum of $121.67, proceeds of a be(iuest by the late Miss Armour of Montreal, a lady who ever manifested a deep and intelligent interest in the success of Queen's College The payments were for five scholarships $310, three bursaries $120, one loan $30, and expenses $5.20. The balance on hand is $242.34, sufficient to enable the Com- mittee to meet its obligations in respect of tlu-ee scholarships of $70 each, announced for compe- tition at the beginning of next session. The thanks of t.'^e College authorities are deservedly duo and are hereby tendered to those congregations which have remembered this important fund. The example set by a few in offering competitive scholarships is entitled to special commendation, and will, it is hoped, be followed by others. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Treasurer's financial statements, duly audited, are herewith submitted. The statement No. 1 shows a deficiency of $543.29 in the revenue required to meet expenditure — $10,817.77 — for the year. This apparent deficiency is by no means formidable, and it is only stating the bare truth to say that but for the most rigid economy it would have been mr.ch greater. At the ssme time the attention of the Assembly must be called to the entry, " biUs payable paid $1865.21," in state- ment No. 2. This amount represents a debt incurred in 1875 for jmyment of salaries. A.s it could not be discharged from ordinary revenue it was paid out of capital, until repaid interest ui)on it at seven per cent is fairly chargeable to required expenditure. The charge for salaries as per statement No. 1 is a total of $15,205, and for general expenses $1,612.77. The latter amount in- cludes the cost of a new heating apparnius, $282;50, and double sashes for windows, $199.75. XCll. APPENDIX. Acting in concert with a Committee of the Board of Management of Knox College, the Fiu- ance and Estate Committee of this College appointed deputations to appear at the meetings of the Presbyteries within the constituency set apart for the support of the two Colleges, and to urge upon them the claims of the College Fund. The amountb asked from the constituency were $11,900 for Knox College and $2,450 for Queen's. Of the latter sum the Treasurer of Queen's College received $1,095.88 on the 10th April. An additional sum will no doubt be received before the meeting of the General Assembly. The amount required by Queen's College from the Church for the ensuing year is estimated at $2,280. ANOTHER THEOLOGICAL PROFESSORSHIP. Without specifying other purposes to which a larger revenue, if available, might be advanta- ^'cously applied, the Trustees again refer to the importance of increasing the number of Profrssors in Tlieology, a«d earnestly express the hope that the " financial situation " is now such as to warrant the General Assembly to recommend the institution of a third professorship in that Faculty. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS. There is an urgent necessity for additional buildings. The class rooms are for present needs suiTiciently commodious, but their number should be increased by one or two. Tlie valuable contents of thelibrniy and museum are placed at great disadvantage, as regards serviceableness, by tliu limited space at command for the proper arrangement of them. This subject has been very fully discussed by the University Council, and aCommittoe appoint- ed by that body is acting conjointly with the Finance and Estate Committee of tl.is lioard, in the preparation of plans and estimates and in the consideration of measures to be adopted for pro- curing the necessary funds. Their delibciations have been so far matured that the erection of a building projecting from the present edifice and affording a suitable front, to it, facing Lake Ontario, is found to be practicable. This addition will give an exeulleiTt Convocation Hall, con 'i. rably larger than the present one, which is too small, and also spacious rooms for the ac- commodation of the library and museum, with convenient access from every part of the College as it now stands With sliglit and inexpensive alterations the rooms which would become vacated by this enlargement will furnish all the additional accommodation required for teaching and other purposes. The cost is not expected to exceed §10,000. All which is respectfully submitted. JOHN HAMILTON, Chairman. Qcken's Colleoe, 11th April, 1877. SCHOLARSHIP AND BURSARY FUND. This fund consists chiefly of congregational contributions, and is administered by a Com- mittee appointed by the Supreme Coui't of the Church.

The annual session was formally opened on November 1st, by a lecture delivered in Fo't Massey Cbureb bvEev. Professor Currie, on " The Ministry of the\Yord." The students enrolled were : First Year: — James Alex. MacLcan, Archibald McDougall, Charles W. Brydone, Thomas C Jack, Andrew Gray, George L. Gordon. ScccDid Year. — Archibald Gunn, Jas C. Carruthers, Alexander Stewart, James A. McKean. Third Ytar.—V>. Styles Fraf?r, John Logan, Donald McLcod, Daniel McGregor, W. C. Herd- man, B K. ]\IpKlmon. llespecting tiie course of instruction and the progress of the students, the fullest information will be gathered from the subjoined reports of the Professors. CLASSES OF THEOLOGY. The session began on the 1st November, 1876, and closed on the 2oth April, I877. I had two theological classes : — onc^ chieily occupied with Apologetics, which was attended by seven students of the first year ; the other, that of Systematic Theology, which was attended by ten students of the second and third years. I also took the class of New Testament Exegesis one day in the week. The numbers now given, amounting to seventeen in all, include a student of the third year from Princeton, who joined us after the Christmas holidays. The theological classes were taught, as usual, partly by lecture and partly on the tutorial method, the text book chieily employed being Hodge'.s Systematic Theology, m the Exegetical APPENDIX. xcvn. class wc read five chapters of tlie Epistle to the Romans. I liave much pleasure in testifying to the diligence of the students, and tlie propriety of their deportment. In addition to the usual oral examinations, a system of monthly examinations in writing was introduced, and steadily carried out throughout the session. Tlie review of eaeh month's work, prejiaratory to the examination at its close, was fitted to impress the outlines of t!ie course i)f instruction more deeply on the mind. Possibly an examination at th(> end of every two months might servi' the purpose. But I am satisfied that it ^s better to disti'ibute work of tliis kind o\er the session than to leave the whole for one big push at the end. Through thi kindness of tlie Established and Free Churches of Scotland, in rchjionse to an appeal addressed to them by this Senate, a sum of 'f'280 was found available at thi' close of tlie session for distribution as i>ri/e^ to those who had made the largest number of marks at the written examinations. The amount was divided into ten prizes, ranging in value from ^.")() to SIO. The i)rizes were not distributed amongst the several classes ; but the percentages of marks made in the departments of Helirew, Church History and Theology res])ectively were added together, so r.a to afford a measure of llie effective work done by each .student in pursuing the studies of the curriculum as a whole. All which is respectfully submitted. Alkx. McKniuut, CnUBCH niSTOnY and pastoral TnEOLOOY. The work performed in the class of Church History and Pastoral Thef)logy, during the Ses- sion 1876-7, has been as follows : By means of examinations, generally held twice a week, the Christian centuries, extending from the fifth to Wx*tles to the Corinthians and Romans, and the many important (juestions relating to the Primitive Church brought forward in these writings. Regular examinations upon these lectures also were held at intervals. A course of lectures on Pastoral Theology was begun on the 8th February, and continued till the close of the Session. The topics treated of were the Pastoral oftice as compared with other offices, and as it is in itself; the necessity and authority ior such an ottice ; the Pastoral Call, in- cluding the personal and public calls to the Ministry; the steps required in the settlement of a Minister ; subscription to Confessions of Faith, with some account of these; the Pastor's inner life, his pulpit preparation ; the parts, peculiarities and conduct of public worshij), etc. These subjects and examinations were regularly brought imder review by means of monthly examinations, which tested the standing of every student. These examinations, while adding greatly to the work of Professors and students, have greatly increased the order and etliciency of the course of study. On one day of each week, also, an additional hour was enqiloyed in reading the Pastoral Epistles. The First and Second Epistles to Timothy, and the Epistles to Titus and Philemon were thus read with attention to tlie lexicon and grammar of the Greek, and the interpretation. The progress of the Class during the past Session, and the good conduct of the Students, deserve to be jiarticularly mentioned. Fifteen discourses, required by the Church, were delivered, and criticised in the course of the Session. Respectfully submitted, Allan Pollok. hebrew, etc. As on former years, during the term which has just closed, I conducted three classes, two in Hebrew meeting daily, and one in Exegetics meeting three tinM.s a week. The -Junior Hebrc w class was attended by seven students, all of the first year. CVunmencing with the alphabet, they mastered the elements of the grammar, and read in lessons what is ciiuivalent to aliout twelve chapters of average length. Considerable attention was devoted to Hebrew composition. The Senior Hebrew class was attended by four students of the second year, ami six of the tliiid. They revised Green's large grammar, and read twenty-nine chapters, many of which were selected from the more dillicult books. The exegesis of these passages received attention so far as time and the state of advanaement of the class permitted. In Chaldee this class read a few chaptei's of Daniel and Ezra, and selections from two of the Targums. Special attention was given to Hebrew composition, the exercises prescribed having in view a good outline of the syntax of the language. Towards the close of the session a few lessons in Syriac were given. The Exegetical class was attended by all the students. To tliis class I lectured once a week. After four or five lectures on Inspiration. I took up the subject of Hermeneutics, discussing such topics as the history of Biblical interpretation, the hermeneutical canons, aid derived to interpreta- tion from ancient versions and the cognate languages. Hebrew poetry, the interpretation of prophecy, tyjjcs and paraiiles, etc. Greek exegesis occupied the time of this class on one of the three days a week during which I coudacted it. and the first two chapters of the Epistle to the Ephesians was the subject of study. The remaining day was devoted to au examination of the xcvin. APPENDIX. Fotirth Part of Harrow's Introduction to the study of the Bible, which treats of the principles of Biblical Interpretation. The Httidents of the first year prepared each a Greek critical exercise. This and a few He- brew critical oxercises, which remained over from last term, wore read in the class and criticised by fellow students. The system of written examinations introduced into the Hull for the first time has been productive of the best results. I have iileasuro in testifying to the Christian deportment, commendable diligence and marked prepress of tlie stndc^nts. In closing', I have no hesitation to say, that this has been the most successful term of study wliich our instituti(jn has seen for a series of year.s. liespectfuUy submitted. , * John Currie. CLOSK. The Session closed on the evoninp of the last Wednesday of April, at a large meeting held in St. Andrew's t'liurch, at which Br. I?urns, the Chairman, presided. The Professors explained the course of study in their rtsspective classes. A Hebrc'v chant was sung with admirable oflect by the students. ]Nfr. D. S. Fraser u^'ivered a valedictory address, and Professor MacKnight gave the students words of counsel appropriate to the occasion. Six of the students completed their curriculum — Messrs. D. S. Fraser, John A. Logan, Daniel McGregor, Donald Macleod, W. C. Herdman and U. E. McElmon. PRIZES.

Thirteen Bursaries have been granted during the past year, ranging from ^10 to $100, and amounting altogether to ?8!)9. This is an increase of three in the number of Bursaries paid the preceding year. Six of the Bursars attended the Theological Hall, and five the Arts course, in Dalhousie College.

Tlit y ffcl that it is not creditable to tho congrer^ iti(>nb of the IVIaritime Province.-,, that three should li'ive given one-fourth of tiie whole sum, and with tin additici'. of an individual — a young man of St. John, Newfoundland — about oue-thi;d : and would respectiully suggest that measures be taki.'n to guard against a monopoly of contribution, go that the bh ssedness of giving should be as v.idely dilTuscil as possible. Those wlio arj shutting themselves out from honour and jirivilegt,' should be gently awakened to a sense of their exce.ssi.e abnegation of self, and consetjuent loss; and urgid t? claim all the glory and blessedness of their si)iritual irth-right. The Boaid are of oiiiiiidii that this work of widening the foundation of popular and pecuniary sipport on which the Hull rests, :'an bi^ best accomplished by calling in the active co-operation of Presbyteries, and wouKl leave the (ienerai Assembly to give such direction for securing their valuable aid as may seiiu Lest in tho circumstances. BUILDINGS AND E:IDOW JiENTS. Unquestionably the event of the year lias been the ))rosecution of the Building and Endow- ment Fund The iiermission of the (ieneial Assembly was last year sought and obtained for tlif Board to adopt measures for dis])o.sing of buildings in Halifax and Truro, and to inoceed to tbe eri ction of one more attractive and wiJi better accommodations for Professors and Students tliiiu either of those named. The jiermission given was conditional, as the Board desired that it shouM be on the cordial concurrence of the Sy)iod of the Maritime Provinces, on whose people the suppert of the Hall hid been devolved by the tuneral Assianbly. 'J lie -Maritime Synod at its meiting in Octobur, decided that it would bo unadvisable to re- move the Classes to Truro, and further, that tlij ])eople should be appealed to for the sum of ^100,000 to pioviile building, and to bring up the ei.dowment so as to meet the outlay for salariis as nearly as possible, These decisions being almost unanimous, the Board met within a mentli and lu'oceeded to devise measures to accomi)lish the objects. Sub-Committi;es were appointed on Finan(.'t!s, o)i Sites nnd on Plans uf Building, circulars were issued explaining the movement, ami earnest^.' requostiiig the hearty co-oiieration of o,., whole ]ieoplo. The issue of the circular was followed up hy subscription.-; and collections in Halifax, and by deputations to various jilaces.

Respectfully submitted, E. F. 15URNS, Chairman. Halifax, May, Vill. V. G. McGllEGOli, Secrdary, REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF MANITOBA COL- LEGE.— SESSION 1876-77. The ^^' \ of Management begs to report that the past year has been characterized by much activity i mnectiou with the College. The changes through which the College has been jntssing vi ir by yei.i 'ince its founding, have this ytiar happily bi^en wanting, and all things now begin to rts-,mue a m»..e permanent and comfortable -hape, and the College seems to have taken a good pbiee in the fouutry. During the jiast year an Act has been jtassed by the fiegislature establishing ii I'niversity of Manitoba — solely an examining body — very similar to the Universities of Tuninto and Nova Scotia, in constitution; and Manitoba College along with the l-lpiscopal and lininan Ciitliolic Colleges have been put in connection witli this Institution, and given representation in its Council. The union of the three princi))al denominations of the country is an omen of good, and it is earnestly hoped that the co-operation of the several denominations may be more and more thorough, and in all departnumts of education as well. The whole number entered upon the College KoU during tho past year was forty-five, of whom twenty-eight were in the senior dejiartment and seventcH'n in the elementary. The Work of the past session has been of a substantial and satisfaetory character. The Col- lege staff is very short in numbers of that of either of the other two colleges u{ the country, while the actual amount of work done will compare favourably. The Board is glad to report that tliough the College has been in existence less than six years, and has not been incor])oi'atoil four years yet, live of its students have during the past three years gone to pursue the highest Cll.

There are groups of Mission Station.^ in every part of the Province that have been long and urgently asking for .Missionaries or settled Pastors to labour among them ; but the supply is far short of the (hjiuand. Every effort, there- fore, should bo put forth to meet the pressing spiritual necessities of this portion of our Dominion. And the utmost encouragement should bo given to those who, in the future, must bo our main dependence for labourers in tliis important and rapidly increasing Mission field.

APPENDIX. EEPOrT ON THE ST.VTE OF RELIGION. it|; lii li In prosentini,' tlu'ir report to the General ii.sscinbly, your Committee have to stftto that the groat mutter entrusted to their care has enga^,'( I the attention of tlie chureli only to a limited ex- tent ; tlmt is to say, only about odo eharges out of (ilO have sent in returns to their res])ective Presbyteries ; but it is pleasing to report tlmt every Presbytery in the church, with the exception of Newfoundland in the extreme oast, and Manitoba in the extreme west, has had the state of ro- li|.;ion under consich'ration, and that in many instances the reports sent up to the Synod arefif the most cheering description, more so perhaps than in any past year in the history of Prosbyteriau- i>m in this country. As regards these returns the following order of excellence will be noied with interest on the jiart of Synods. That of Hamilton ami London stands first, having sent in 117 out of ISO char^ris ; that of tlu^ Maritime Provinces, .wroiit/, having sent in 80 out of l.'i5 ; that of Kingston and Tcjr- oiito third, having sent lOU out of IS? ; and that of Montreal and Ottawa fourth, having sent iu (iO out of \\2. Then, iu respect to Pre.-byterial distinction, it will be interesting to learn that in the Synodof the Maritime Provinces it is the I'resbytery of Pictou that stands highest, having si'ut in nine- teen cut of twenty one ; in the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, it is the Presbytery of Brockville, having sent in eighteen from twenty-three ; in the Synod of Kingstcm and Toronto, it is the Pres- bytery of Lindsay, having sent in twvlvo from twelve ; and iu the Synod of Hamilton and London, it is the Presbytery of llurou that has wou for itself this distinction, having sent in twenty out (jf twenty-three charges. Prom this it will be seen that the I'resbytery of Lindsay is the highest iu the church, having reached the maxinuim number, twlve out of twelve. A still more interesting feature of these reports is that bearing on the additions made to the membersliip of the church during the year. The Presbytery most distinguished iu this respect is that of Toronto, and if the (juestioii bo raised as to congregaticuial distinctioa throughout the church, the committee have to say, that according to these sheets, taking the rate fcr centum, that in the Presbytery of Miramichi, Tabusintac stands highest ; in the Presbytery of Halifax, Windsor ; in the Presbytery of Quebec, Chalmers' Church ; iu the Presbytery of Glengarry, Mar- tintown ; in the Presbytery of Ottawa, ^IcNab and Hortou ; in the Presbytery of Brockville, Dalhousie and Sherbrooke ; in the Presbytery of (rueli)h, Knox's Church, Gait ; in the Presbytery of Owen Sound, Division Street Church ; iu the Presbytery of Paris, Zion Church, Brantford ; in the i'resbytery of Lindsay, Penelou : iu the Presbytery of Peterboro, Norwood; in the Presbytery of Stratford, liidduliih ; in the Presbytery of I'ietdU, Sharon Church, Stellarton in the Presby- tca-y of Harrie, 13arrie; iu the Presbytery of Hamilton, St. Catharine's First Congregation. The committee regret ihat thijy are not able to complete the list, and give the tigures iu full, shewing both the iiuni/h-r adJcd, and the I'ate per centum, but hope to do so in larger measure next year ; and the defective returns, and the late hour at which some of them came iu, must bo their apology for any error that may apjjcar iu these statements. The total number added to the Comnuuiion Boll during the year, so far as reported ia 11,195, — removals, 5, 127, net iniTease o,7(iH. The total number now on the Boll is ',(3,788. This is a huge number, but when we take into account the fact that we have about ,'^00,000 i)ersons claim- ing connection with us, that number great as it is, must l)e deemed unsatisfactory. IVe have probably not more than the oHf-half of our people who have reached mature years in actual fellowship vith the cliurcii -that is to s:v- there must be nearly ico,ooo of mature years livim^ unpledged to a Christian lif — standing at a distance from tJie Holy Communion. On every hand this fact meets us, and from many a (juarter comjilaints are to be heard in referenci, to this great evil. Scores are growing uj) to manluiod and rushing into life's solemn responsibilities, without, it would seem, a single thought of consecrating themselves to the Lord. All over the land there are fathers and mothers that have grown gray beneath the preaching of the word or within easy access to it, that have not yet taken the iirst step towards a higher life. Among the causes assigned for this deplorable state of things arc the love of the present world — intemperance -the dislike of Coming under the obligations involved iu a jirofession — the inconsistencies of many that have made a profession, and the feeling that it is better not to vow, than vowing, fail to jierfoim; and above all, iu the way of excuses preferred, is a sense of uutitness or unworthiness. The Connnittee iiave received no hint or suggestion from any one as to how the great evil under consideration is to be met, and they themselves have none to otter, save that of a more careful and individual treatment of those coming to mature y(>ars. The period of youth it is well known — the period intervening between the time they leave the Sabbath School or Bible Class and that of mature age, is a dangerous one — one of cou)]ianionships and strange (juestion- ings, when the fountains of thought ai'e stirred, and black doubt easts its shadow over early instruction — when jiassiou pleads for indulgence, and the restraints of home are felt to be irksome, and the boast and bravado of impudence or irreverence is ajit to be mistaken for manliness. At surli a tinu^ a young man stauds much in need of the loving counsel and care of his pastor, and he tliat is "wise to win souls" will not be an idle spectator at such a time; and though there is difhculty iu aiiproaehing many on the subject of religion, yet everyone knows that 110 young heart is altogther proof agaiust such approaches. Moreover after the trausitiou period APPENDIX. CV. may bo regarded as past — after n graver stac;e of lif<; has been attained, and a nioro sober current of thought has set in, many a one begins to look wistfully to a religious life, and to long for light on the darlv i)robk'His that have been disturbing him. In such a casi' a young man would welcome a minister who would speak to him — take him asides and talk with him not in a pompouH, perfunctory way, Imt frankly and ali'ectionately — would welcome such as an angel of (rod. This is what not a few of our ministers do. Alarmed at the extent of non-profession, notably among young men, they seek to improve the occasion of tlieir pastoral rounds for their Plieciai benelit, of dealing jirivatuly and personally with them, and the committi'C are jiersuaded. tiwt if more efforts of this kind were put forth — more private and personal dealing were resorted to, in regard to all those that are standing aloof from the Holy Communion, a great eliiiuge for the better would be eti'ected. Thi're is reason to ,fear that the jiastoral olHce which fnmi it^ very Uiiture implies an individual as well as a general oversight, has been greatly lowered and suffered to go into abeyance, and tlierefore your committee would call attention to the tenderness of the pastoral tie and the permanent obligation of the Christian Ministry, to deal habitually with their people, in a more close, personal, loving manner than has been sei'u in some cases. In regard to the duty of family worship your Committee has nothing very definite to state. From the report of the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, tlu'V gather that it is observed by about one-half of our people there, rnd from the other Synods that it is pri'tty generally observed by those who have entered into fellowship with the Church. One or two Congregations in the Presbytery of Lindsay in their repcu'ts sjieak of it as being universally attended to by the families that have joined tlie Church, but the fear on the jiart of the Committee is, that through- out the Church, this duty to a very large extent is neglected. What the report of the Synod of Hamilton and London says on this head is worthy of consideration. '•The indefinite character of the answers which sessions have given on this head indicate very clearly that in the great majority of cases no sufficient means have been emjiloyed to ascertain how the matter really stands. For the most part the reports merely indicate the o]iini(m of the members of Session, without specific inquiry. There are, however, exceptions ; some have evidently set themselves to ascertain to what extent family worshiii is observed, and as a result, one re})orts 12 families neglecting it, another that, of 120 families visited, 07 observed it twice daily, 8 ojice a day, while the remaining 45 were living in the total neglect of it. . . . There is moreover great reason to fear that there is great failure in the duty of parental instruction in the way of leading children to Christ. One Presb%iery sums up all it has to say on the subject in these words: 'Parental instruction is rare.' Another notes the tendency to remit the instruction of children too exclusively to the Sabbath-school, and anotlier states that it is a matter of universal rerret that family instruction in Divine things and honest dealing with an aim at the conversion of Uieir children is wanting on the part of many parents." Our space will not permii us to saj more or give any further extracts, but the Committee would take occasion to say, that they were struck with the remark which many Kiik Sessions make on this .subject, tia»n\y, that they do not ktio^v to what extent, or by hoxv many the duty in question was ol>senrd. They do not even, it would seem, make an approximation to the uumber. Surely on a question so vital as family worship, pains should be taken to see how far it is observed in a congregation, and every means used to bring those famiUes neglecting it, to do so no more, and surely a minister charged with the care of souls, cannot hold himself guiltless if he fail to bring this duty often and earnestly before his people. It is plain to the Committee, that family religion is on the decline, that the old custom of Sabbath evening catechising is passing away — that blessed custom which not only gave the cliild a Ught, but a memory — not ouly instruction, but instruction associated with a father's worth and a mother's love which follows like a ministering ange) through Ufe, and speaks with power when father and mother are able to speak no more. Beli(!ving that many of the evils affecting society proceed from the neglect of family worship, your Committee express the hope that the (ieneral As.-embly will not dispose of this report with- out giving forth an expression of its mind in this regard, and lending the weight of its authority to the suggestions which they would make on the subject. They believe that if Pastors in their pubhc ministrations and in their private intercourse with their people, would bring this jduty more prominently before them, and, in the cas^ of those who plead want of ability — furnish them with some suitable manual — Like that furnished by the (,'hurch of Scotland or the Free Church, the best of results would follow. And forasmuch as the duty of instructing children in Divine things — of bringing them to the Saviour, cannot be delegated to another — as the responsibihty rests witli tue parent and not the Sabbath School teacher, however useful the Sabbath School teacher may I'f as &\x(i\\^— that czcry father and cz'ery mother throui^hout the ehiireh be again and again reminded (/ this truth, and urged to bring up their ehildren in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. As to prayer meetings held during the week in connection with cougiegations, these sheets bring to light the cheering fact that there are very few without them — only four reported in the whole Synod of Kingston and Toronto, and two in the Synod of Hamilton and London. And in addi- tion to the central or Church prayer meeting there are in some congregations district prayer meet- ings presided over by elders, with the best results to all concerned. But great comi)laint8 have reached your Committee in regard to the small share that many elders take in these meetings, as well as in the general work of the Church — how that in many cases not one can be found to open his mouth at such a meeting or carry to a dying man the cou- CVl. APPENDIX. llM ll ' ?■' solations of the Go.'^pcl — how tliat there are hundreds jierislnng for lack of knowledgp, while there are pjifted men and women on every hand, professini^ to love the Lord, standing all the day idle ; hilt if there he a lack of Huitahle ))ursons to co-operate with the ministry in curryiuf,' forwaid the work of tlio Church, the Committee are persuaded, it is from no lack of ])iety, or talent, or educa- tion on the jiart of our Church as compared with other Churches, but from the fact rather tliat our jieoph; are not taught or trained to exercise their gifts. If the Sahbath School is jioorly e(nii])- l)ed — the missions of the Church languishing — the jirayer meeting in a low state, — it may lie duo to som<' extent to a want of will on the part of our people, but far more they believe it i^ due to the want of organization — to the fact that the man at the helm is at fault — working with a slack hand and an unwatchful eye. In every church, if there are not those that 9ro able and willing to work, that can be found to lead in i)rayer — it is presununl there are those that can be trained to do so. And if there In; no likely subjects in the congregation of maturo years on whom a minister can lay his hands — he has the ilible-class which he can fill with jiromising youth, and among these he va\u raise up a (ludly seed that will be willing to eo-oi)erate with him in any or all of tlij departments of Church labor. And more than all, there are young communicants coming forward from time to tiint! tn profess their faith in tlie Lord .Jesus, and might not he teach these to jiruy as J.^hn also lau:^ht his Disciples. And further that they will be expected to make themselves useful in the cougiegation, and employ such gifts as they have in the serxice of God ? I^ot ])ropi'r efforts be put forth in every congregation in the direction indieategations have been greatly blessed in this way — that many beUevers, previously cold, have been revive(l ; many that were careless have been awakened, and that many that were all but unap- proachable on the subject of personal religion are now happy in the faith they once despised. This lias been the case in the Presbytery of Halifax, particularly in the congregations of Maitland and St. Croix, and Ellershouse, and even in Windsor, where there were no special services— noth- ing beyond the ordinary praj er meeting that is weekly observed in that church, but which on this occasion grew in interest and in the attendance of the people to an extraordinary extent. Then in the Presbyteries of Peterboro', and Whitby, and Lindsay, and Barrie, and Glengarry, there have been also great awakenings— and in none more than in the congregations of Martin- town, Cornwall, and Lancaster. Very interesting accounts have also been received from Goderich, Walkertown, Woodstock, Ingeraoll, Ailsa Craig, Listowel and London. One of many extracts may be given as a specimen of the working of these Evangelistic services. "As the work is stUl going on, the results in all respects must yet be waited for. But there are siuue already apparent. That most directly evident is the influence exerted on those who are already believers. There has been a great waking up and increased spirituality and earnestness among such, as well as greatly mcreased light and clearness in their religious views. In this all the Churches are participating ; it seems as if a fog were lifted up and sunshine had come in. Another benefit is in the readiness and willingness with which persons careless before will welcome the Gospel message. Many wUl willingly converse on personal religion now who would not do so before and thus practically come within the means of grace. The number of persons who have directly been brought in from the world and who are now resting on the Saviour in jjossessiou of his salvation, must be pretty numerous, but it is impossible for me to give a numerical estimate as there are so many who are seeking salvation or v ti . roots, and all this in view of [iromises exceeding great and precious, while the little cloud, mit larger at hrst than a man's hand, is spreading over all the heavens, and wiiile there is the sound of an abundance of rain, surely (iod has been remembering Zion. Surely tho set time to favour her has come. Why then such a *^^ate of things ? The only suggestion which tlie Committee have to olTer in the way of meeting the evil in {[uestion, is a deei)er consecration to the work on the part of the Ministry. A low condition of spiritual life is not peculiar to Canada, or to any section of the Church of God. It is one which is as wide as humanity, but it is one which, under the Divuie Spirit, evi^rywhere yields to one in (iommunion with Crod all alive to the value of immortal souls. Who does not know that love and faith and fervency of spirit are irresistible? Who does not see this at the i)resent time in tho labors of self-devoted men, who are working with a single eye to the glory of God? Forgetting the things which are hehind — leaving secular matters to others — they give themselves wholly to the ministry of the Word and prayer. There are hundreds of men, ample in power, rich in learning, ponderous in ancient love, that put m their days — fifty years, perhajis, in ime place, and yet accomplish ahnost nothing, simply because working at a low temperature, — while right hy the side of some sucli men is one that is greatly blessed in his work, and yet one who can scarcely lay claim to anything hut devotion to his work, and who, because of his devotion to his work, and his fer- vency of spirit, has power with God. The only other question on which your Committee would venture to report, is that pertaining to Sabbath Schools. There is no more cheering feature of our Churcli tn.^n this. It would seem that nearly all our children capable of availing the: : elves of the instruction which the Church offers, do so, and that the congregations are few and far between that have no Sabbath School. In a few sections the School is kept open only during tho summer mouths, in conseciuence of tho state of the roads, and the distance to be travelled ; but, generally speaking, the children are well looked after by a noble band of some 7000 teachers, wlio sow the seed beside all waters. The entire number reported for 1876 in attendance was 79,204, of whom 17,0t)'J were in Bible classes, and this year the number is probably grei-ter. All this as far as it goes is very cheering, but complaints have reached the Committee from several quarters that much of the teaching in the Sabbath Schools goes for little — that it is far from being satisfactory — that in many cases the Shorter Catechism is not used — that the teaching is fragmentary and unconnected, — not only fathng to make any salutary impression on the young. but failing even to attach them to the Church. They are not ac(iuainted with the distinctive principles of Presbyterianism. Many never saw the Confession of Faith. They don't know any- thing about the doctrine of infant baptism, or how to defend it, and thousands leave the Schools ignorant of what be the first principles of the oracles of God. The result is that they become an easy prey to sectarian and proselytising spirits, and settle down into other communions, or, what is worse, into the soft, easy ways of the world. In view of these facts, certain brethren suggest that a manual, having the sanction of the General Assembly, setting forth the distinctive principles of our Pn'sbyterianism, should be published and put into the hands of the more advancedyouth, to theeud that they may not only be estalilished in the faith, but be prepared to defend the same, and give a reason for the hope that is in them With meekness and fear. And seeing that the instruction of the Sabbath School is all thi^ instruction in divine things that many a young person will ever receive, the Committee wt)uld recommend ihat, in any case where it is practicable, the Minister liimself superintend the Sabbath School in eoiiueetioii with his Church — that iie meet, with the teachers, from time to time, with the view of the better pre- paring them for theu' work, and that none but the best teachers he can lind be so employed — not boys and girls nearly as ignorant as the children themselves, but jiersons of mature years and christian experience — motherK and matronly women, whose deeper life and riper knowledge of divine things might be expected to lend aU tiie greater weight to their counsels. The returns to the questions anent hberality in the way of sustaining the Schemes of tho Church — prevaihng sins — cases of discipline, etc., are so defective that nothing of any value can be furnished on these heads to the General Assembly; but they would suggest that a pa-toral M i mMk ,1 1 iilaki iffi ' ' iii^hh ' 'HI ' II^^^^H iH lif^^^^^l VtfflU |5 '■■ \'il ^'*1:l CVIU.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FRENCH EVANGELIZATION OF THE • PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA. In presentin^' their Second Annual Report to the General Assembly, the Board of French Evangelizati(3n desire to record their deej) gratitude to tlie Great King and Head of the (Jhurch for the lar;^e uKiasure of success which has accompanie(l the labors of the missionaries and col- porteurs of the Board, and for the increased S)3irit of libLTahty manifested by our jieople in the fiupjiort (jf this most imjiortani department of '.ho Churcli's work darinj,' the past year. TIk rapid and encouraging growth of the work is S(!en in the fact that while the number of Mission- aries reported last vear as employed bv the Board was twentv-six, the number at present is forty. CHANOES IN EXECCTIVE. The Rev. R. H. Warden was appointed Agent of the Board by last Assembly. Mr. Warden entered upon his duties in September. Rev. C. A. Tanner, having accepted the Principalshiji of St. Frances College, Richmond, Que., retii'ed from his position as Agent on the 1st October, the Board placing on record a minute expressive of their sense of tlie value of his services, and their best wishes for his prosperity in his new si)her(.' of labor. Mr. A. B. Stewart ceased to act as Treasurer in December and Mr. Warden was installed as his successor. The Board, in viijw of the magnitude of the work and the necessities of the case, have opened an olUce for the Secre- tary-Treasurer at 210 St. James Street, Montreal, where all letters should be addressed, and contributions forwarded. SYNOD DES EflLISES EVANGELIOTES. For a time the French Canadian Missionary Society sought to foster au:! direct the formation of churches. Several years ago it abandoned this department of its operations, and the few churches under its care formed themselves into an independent Synod, under the name of the " Synod des Eglises Evangeliqiwsy After struggling to maintain existence for three or four years, the attempt to establish and build up an independent French Protestant Church was found to be futile, and in April last the Sjniod was dissolved. Its President, Rev. R. P. Duclos, is an appli- cant before the Assembly for admission to our church. All the congregations of the Synod, with one or two exceptions, have been taken imder the care of the Board, thus considerably strengtlien- iug oirr work and at the same time adding largely to our future expenditure. BKITISH AGENCY. In view of the rapid expansion of the work and the increased expenditure consequent on the erection of chiu"ches and mission premises, the Board deemed it necessary to have th-; claims of the Mission laid before the Christian people of Ih'itain and Ireland. In response to their invi- tation, the Rev. li. Campbell, M.A., of St. (iabriers Churcli, Montreal, generously came to theii' aid and agreed to devote five months to furtht. the object in view. Mr. Campbell left Montreal in the middle of January, and up to the end of the ecclesiastical year had 'isited the northern part of Ireland and the west coast of Scotland, meeting with a cordial reception, and, considering the great stagnation of trade, a generous response to his appeals for aid. Up to the date of this Report the Treasurer has received from Mr. Campbell .S'i,56o.56, as per the annexed. L^.naucial statement. CHURCH BCILDINO. During the year three new churches have been built in connection with the Board, one hi Quebec City at a cost of about ^8, ODD, chiefly provided by the friends in thni city; one in Montreal, Canning street, the total expense of which, including ground, was .?10,91'2.5d ; and out at Namur, in the township of Suffolk, which has been erected for the modest sum of .S448.ol. In addition to these, temporary mission premises have been provided at Belle River, Out., and Point Aux Bouleaux, Que., by the congregations in these fields, without expense to the Board Two other churches are at present in course of erection by the Board, viz.: at St. Paul de Chester and St. Autoine Abbe, Que., both of which it is hoped v^'ill be ready for occupation this fuL.

Rev. Dr. Waters, Vice-Chainiiau vi tlie Maritime Province Section of tlio Board fnmi?!:rg the fdllowing rcjiort : In preseutinfj the report of the Board of French Evani,'olizatiiin for the Maritime Provinc e-;, it may he noted that while thci^c is nethin?,' very striking to report, tliero ha.s at the same time, heeu a satisfactory measure of jiro^rress during tlie year. I. — '.n.VND r.iLLS, NEW mU'NSWICK. The licv. Mr. I'aradi.s has labored he: e citli diligence and a gooil degree of snccess. The station is in some respects favourably sitnatid for the carr^■ing on of a;^gressive work among the Frencli iiojiulatiou. It lias all the advantages of a centre. Vhietly inhahiled hy English sjieak- ing peoide. while in its immediate ui'ighhourhood there is a hirw I'reiudi ]K)iMilaUon. A commodious and conifortabk^ clnirch has been erected, in which >erviccs are conducted both in English and French, by the missionary, while a congregation has been formed, with a com- munion I'ol! numbering between twenty iind tlnrty, Ihe missionary is i. freiiuent visitor at th(; houses of the Ereiich people, liy whom he is Kcuernlly well vfCfived. There is reason to believe that good work is being done, and that at no di>tant future the result of patient and jiersev' "ing effort will become abundantly manifest. During the year 5100 have been contributed by the peojile for the support of ordinances. 11. — VIOJ.KT lii;oOK, NKW IIUUNSWICK. At this place Mr. I'mneau labored earnestly during the whole of last summer. During thv. fir.-t part of the season he taught a school, but as it was found that the })ersons f(n' whose beiietit it was specially intended did not avail themselves of its i>rivileges, he was instructed to discon- tinue that branch of the work and confine himself to colportnge and the visitation of tlu; peiijile in their homes. He was well received by the peoiile, and the Board was so well satistied both with his diligence and the result of ks labors, that ho has been appointed to the same tield for the present hummer. III. — ST. FBANCIS, NEW BKUXSWICK. This is an entirely new station, about half-way bt'tween Grand Falls and Piivierc du Loup. Last winter Mr. I'aradis visited this district of country, and learned that the jieoplewere earnestly desirous of obtaining the services of a mio.'ionary, whc couhl preach both in French and I'Inglish. 'J'he people promised a subscri])tion of idiout SUK) for the supijoii oi a missionary. The subscrip- tion list was signed by twenty-nine persons. Mr. -Jes-ie J. ^\■heelock, in a letter written on the •2(>th of February, says ; — " The people seem to be anxious to have a minister for next summer. It Seems to be a great pity that we cannot iiave some placid of wor^;hip to go to, there are so many young peo})le growing up round us without being taught any religion of any kind. For my part I would like to liave a minister who could siieak both French and English. The peoi)le in general are very anxious to hear from you." The i)ei)ple are chietly on the Anierican side of the line, in the State of Maine, but as it appeared to your CommittL'e to be a promising opening, ^Mr. S. Ann was appointed to labor at this place during the suunuer mouths. At the clese of his period of service, the capabilities of the held will have become manifest, and tlie Committee will then be in a positi(jn to determine upon its future action. IV. — STELLAKTON, NOVA SCOIIA. The work at this }ilace has been carried on chietly among the miners from Alsace and Lorraine, who are employed in the collieries which are situated in the county of Pictou. Tlio llev. Mr. Pelletier has laboured diligently during the year, with some measure of encouragenu'iit. However, many of the families have left, so tiiat now the splicre of his oiieration has become somewhat limited. The missionary reports regarding the present state of the mission as follows ; " I am sorry to say that a very large number of the people have gone away since the depression in the coal trade. 1 enclose a list of those here at ])resent, and who will likely remain. Among those who had left were those who had joined us from the beginning, and from whom I hoped the most. Indeed, our number would be very small now had it not been that while simio went away, others came from other localities and tilled their jdaces. It was, and is yet to a large extent, like working in a new tield, and I have no doubt that however discouraging that change; may have been to me, yet it has this advantage that those who go will carry witli them what they reci'ived. We have yet a few good men who are in earnest, and it is to be hoped that with their help, perseverance, and faithful prayer, and with continued zeal and energy, we shall cc tiuuo to experience success." The missionary reports the baptism of eight children, whose parents professed their faith in Christ. Under the guidance of the Pre.sbytery of Pictou, Mr. Pelletier has been engaged in exploring the French districts in the counties of Antigonish and tniysboro'. In these localities he says, ■ there is not one Presbyterian Church, and for the most part it is nothing more than a vast religious waste. The different localities that I visited seemed to be very fertile, and the people are materially prosperous. I could see no indication of poverty any^vhere. Morally, however, ex. M'PENmX. and intellectually the people arc voi-y far behind. They are here as mnch opposed to schools as they are in \<\v Rmiiswlok. The jjriesta have the entire control of the people, who are kept in igndraiice and sniierstition." JudKiii^' fro':, tlie report of the inis-ioiiary, the Board is of the niiinion that if the state of the funds woulii inir.>it, this district of country should be thoroughly explored, and, if possible, occu- pied by II periiinneni missionary. In coiu'ludint; this brief statement regarding tlie wo.k of French Evangehzatiou in tlie Maritime I'rovinciis. the Hoard desires to express the o])inion that the time has come when sejiarate I''x(cutive Jioards for the Ivist and West are not reijuiri'd. The Board would therefore recomtni'iid the (General Assembly to ])\nfe the coiitiol of thi^vork of French I'^vangeli/ation under one Board of management, which shall carry on its o])erations, as far as possible, througli the Presbyteries within whose bounds the special fields of laboi- may be found. H(!rewith I forward the financial statement, furnished by th(^ Agent of the Church, in Halifax, (Itev. Dr. McGregor,) of receipts and expenditures, to the first of May of the cmreut year. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. Waters, Viiv-C hair mail, Board cf French Evangelization, Maritime PrrAnces. St. John, N.B., May 2Qlk, iSjy. &^ ^VESTERN SECTION. V. — PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. At the solicitation of the P.ince Edward Island Auxilliory Bible Society, the Board appointed one of their Colporteurs, Mr. A. C. Cruchet, to labor in the French settlements of the Island, the districts assigned him being ^Nliscouche, Egmont Bay, Fifteen Point, Tignish, Alberion and Eustico. The French population is almost entirely Roman Catholic, and though generally hostile and indisposed to receive Mr. Cruchefs visits, he yet has succeeded in disposing of quite a few copies of God's word during the two months he has been at work. VI. — rOINTE ADX BOLEAUX AND PORT AU PERSIL, QUE. Tliis field has been occupied for several years by the Missionaries of the Board. It is situ- ated on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, near Tadousac, in the Saguenay district, the two stations being about twenty-one miles apart. Pointo aux Boleanx is a small village with a popula - tion of 300, of whom about .35 are French Protestants. One dLfSculty heretofore experienced has been the want of a suitable building in which" to conduct the day schawl and Sabbath services. This dilhculty has now been overcome, the people having, at their own expense, provided a room and adapted it for the purpose. The missionary of the Board, Mr. A. L. Guertin, reports an attendance of seventeen nt the day school. Ho holds service in the forenoon of each Sabbatli in a private liouse, and in tlio evening in the school room, the attendance being encouraging. During the latter ]iart of the present summer he is to teach at Port au Persil, whore there are twenty-five French Protestants. So desirous are the people to have their famihcs educated at a Protestant mission school, that those in Pointe aux Boleaux have arranged to send their children with the Missionary to Port au Persil, so &i. to enjoy the full benefit of his summer's work. Several of the French speaking families in this jeld are of Scotch descent. The s])iritual interests of the early Scotch settlers having been entirely neglected by the Church of their fathers, they became careless and indifferent, intermarried with French Koman Catholics, and had their children baptized in the Churcli of Home. Since the establishment of our Mission a change has taken place, and under Cod much good appears to have been accomijiished. VII. — ST. PAUL PE CHESTER, QUEBEC. This Mission lies in the County of Arthabaska, about thirty-six miles from Three Rivers and sixtc 'U from DanvOle. The settlement being comparatively new, and the land mountainous and rock^ , the people are not only few in number, but are generally poor. As stated in the re])ort of last J ear, St. Paul de Chester is worthy of special note, and must always possess peculiar interest in the history of the Church, on account of the bitter persecution which our missionaries and converts have there endured for the sake of the truth. The missionary who labored there last summer says, that on reaching the field he found six French Protestant families in the district, all of whom had been brought to the knowledge of the truth by the missionaries of the Board who labored there the two previous summi^rs. These converts were meekly sutTering severe and long- continued persecution at the hands of their Roman Catholic neighbors. Referring to the persecu- tion of the handful who had renounced llomanism, the missionary thus writes : — "By order of the priests, their best friends cease to speak to them, and become their enemies, merchants be- come tyrants, employers refuse them work, neighbors damage their property, and the whole popu- lation unite as one man, under the leadership of th" 'priest, to persecute, shun and despise them as pariahs." Mr. Cruchet endeavoured to reach the Roman Catholic population, but found them extremely hostile to him and his propcsed work, and fully determined to oppose him by all means. Out of many houses he was violently turned.. Yet, by the blesuing of God on his persistent labours, and in no email measure, by the fideUty to the truth and patient bearing under persecution of the few APPENDIX. CXI. Protestants, .h7rii rcnonn'od liomanism duriiiR tlio snmmcr, and joined tlio little mission liand. Si'eakinK of tliesc, Mr. C'.'ucliet Hays : — " I wTote a letter of abjiiratien wliieh tliey signed, and I took it in person to tlir priest, who turned mo out of liiH house like a do^. i>n hearing' that seven of Lis peo|de had found the truth." The Lord manifestly over-ruled the hitter )>erseeution encount- ereil, to the streni'tnenin),' of the faith of the eonverts, and it isdeejdy interestinK to learn that the son of ojie of th' 8e — a younf,' man of marked ahilityand ackno\vle(l^'i'd piety -has resolved to eon- Bfcrate his lif' to the Berviee of tl.13 Master, in the work of the (io.spel Ministry. Last year thirty copies of the Word of God and so,ne sixty religious hooks were distrihuted throughout thodistriet. The Sahbath services, as well as the mission day school, have heretofore heen held in a private bouse. One of the converts recently deeded gratuitously to tln^ Board a piece of ground, on whiih niission premises are being built. As will bo seen from the linaucial statement, the sum of %\^'2 has already been obtained t(>v,ards i ,e erection of these, the total cost of which will be under S'>lMi. In Danville and neighboring districts, promises of liberal assistance havi^ l)een gi\en by friends interested in the work of French evangelization. The attendance at the day school this sumni! r is fifteen. It is coniidently helievc.'d tliat this uumbor, as well as the .Sabbath attendance will be considerably increased, when the mission premises are occui)ied, VIII. — ARTHABASIlAVILLE, qcebec. This village is within two miles of the line of the Grand Trunk Tlailway, twenty miles east of Danville, and seven miles from the St. Paul de Chester Mission. While the population is (diietiy French Catholic, there are yet a few English speaking Protestants in Aj'thabaskaville and the ad- joining village at the railway station. In tlu' former a (?entleman otTers to contribute .SI ")() tenvardsi the erection of a church, provided the Board wOl establish a mission there. Owing to the large number of new fields overtaken during the year, the Board have not been in a position to begin operations in this district. It is hoped, however, that arrangements will ere long be made, where- by the Presbytery of Quebec and the Board may jointly occupy this field, by means of a missionary speaking both French and English. In the meanwhile the missionary at Danville has instruc- tions occasionally to visit the place. IX.— DANVILLE, QCEBEC. Here, for a few years past, our Presbyterian Chiurch has had a struggling, yet spirited and energetic English congregation. The village is in the very heart of a large French lloman Catholiv' section of country. Situated on the line of the Grand Trunk Itailway, it affords easy access to the surrounding district, and is an important centre for French evangelization. Bealizuig this, and knowing that tiie congregation had recently become vacant, the Board made overtures to «he Presbytery of Quebec last winter, with a view to having it supplied by a missionary speaking both French and English. The PrcBbytery, as well as the English-speaking congregation, heartily entered into this proposal, the more so from the fact that the English- speaking Protestants are gradually decreasing in numbers by emigration, etc., and in April last, one of the graduating French students of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, began operations in the field. The experiment has thus far been a gratifying success, and the congregation contem- plate calling the missionary, M. F. lioudreau, as soon as he is licensed this Binumer. Mr. Boudreau conducts the regular English services at Danville in the morning, and at King- sey Falls in the afternoon ; and in the evening of each Sabbath holds a French scrvici; in Danville. This service is growing in attendance and in interest, the average number i)resent duiing the month of May being about forty, many of whom are Eoman Catholics, there being only four French Protestant families in the village and immediate vicinity. Already ^Ir. Boudreiiu can tell of twelve or fifteen heads of families in the neighborhood oi Danville, whose faith in the teachings of Home has been shaken. In a recent letter he specifies several individual cases, of which the following are instances : "A young man by the name of , came to convcTse with me last week. He told me he was a Protestant at heart, but that he does not like to give in his resignation to t'.ie priest, as his wife rages Uke a maniac. She watches him so closely that he cannot always attend our meetings, and occasionally keeps away fiom them for the sake of jieace." "A very intelligent Roman Catholic, near the village has recently become a Protestant, and the / priest has offered to buy his farm and pay bim a large sum of mon" district entirely." for it, if he will leave the X. — ST. JEAN CnRYSoSTOM AND ST. ANTOINE ABBE, QUEBEC. These stations, which are seven miles distant from each other, are in the County of Chateau- guay. For several years they have been occupied by the Board. The present Missionary, Mr. Joseph Morin, reports ten French Protestant families in the field, besides a few others in the neighborhood to whom he has access. The' .Sabbath Services are well attended by the converts, and generally by a few Koman Catholics. As indicative of the desire of the people to advance in religious knowledge, Mr. Morin reports that the Sabbath School is attended by adults as well as by children, indeed by the entire congregation. At St. Antoine Abbe one of the people, Mr. S. Pettis, has given gratuitously an acre of ground, on which the Mission premises are now being built, tiie C(jn- gregaiion contributing f 50 towards their erection. Here it is intended to hold not only the Sab- bath services, but a day school taught by one of our missionary teachers. CXll.

The services of a suitabli^ missionary are at tlu' dis]io>al of tlio Board for this tield, as soon as the congregation hi!S been leceived into the Church. XIII. — NEW ULASGOW, Ql'EIlEC. This tield, sitnated thirty-sis miles north of Montreal, in the County of Terrebonne, con- tinues to be supplied by moans of missionaries, able to minister to the spiritual interests of botli the French and lilnglish jieople of the settlement. During the past year seivice has been main- tained regularly — in the winter fortnightly, and in the sunnner weekly. The French Protestant lamilies, nine i;i numVier, are steadfast in their adherence to the truth, and as Mr. A. 15. Ciuchet, one of the missionaries of the Board, attests, "are never ashamed of their faith — indeed every one of them is a missionary in word and often in deed.'' The lloman Catholic po]Milation ai»])enr friendly in manner, but are really hostile in spirit, the jiriests watching over them with jealous solicitude. The attendance at the French service averages thirty. The people, though by no means wealthy, yet contribute towards the support of ordinancis at the rate of S() per family annually. Mr. Amnion, at present supplying this tield, is soon to be succeeded by Mr. S. J. Taylor, an English student of the I'resbyteri'iu College, Montreal, who is preparing himself for French evangelization work. XIV. — GREXVILLE, QUEBEC. In the village of Grenville, on the Quebec side of the Ottawa river, onr Church has long had an English congregation, wliich, united with Chatham, forms a pastoral charge. The French Jlission is in the township of (irenville. distant from the village about three miles. This mission was ftir several years under the French Canadian Missionary Society, but more latterly in connec- tion with the " Synod des E[:^lises Ezan<;elii]iies." On the dissolution of that Synod the congregation petition'.d the Board to be taken under their care. In response to their petition Mr. B.

On Ihe loth of ;\Iay, ls7(i, three French Protestant families from Montreal, recent converts of ^[r. Chinii|uy's, acconnjanied by a devoted missionary of the Hoard — Mr. (t. C. Mousseau — ar- rived at Naiaur, in the Townshipof Suffolk, a township lately ojieued for settlement, abiaittwenty- tive miles to the iiorth-west of Greuville. They found but tin other families in the settlement, all of whom were French Catholics. These were regularly visited by the priest, who come to cele- brate mass monthly. At the end of the first month after ]\Ir. Mousscau's arrival throe of these families renounced Romanism. At the end of the second month the priest ceased bis visits, only two of the ten families being able to hold out against the truth. Through the columns of the French jiress Mr. Mousseau made known the existence of the colony, and the terms nn which land could be obtained from the (iovernment, and invited French Protestants to join the little baud already there. In response to his invitation a larg(i number setthd in Namur last fall, and Mr. Mousseau now ministers to thirty-one families, besides seven single men, who have taken uji land in tlie district. In addition to these many lloman Catholics have located there, concerning whom ^fr. Mousseau thus writes: — -'Their houses are all open to me, every cme. I am welcome in every house, and with the exception of three houses I am every- where permitted to talk on religious matters and read the Gospel. I ex])ect that they will all join our missidu soon.'' The people went into the district poor, and like all new settlers have had many dilliculties to contend with, but their trials have been sweetened by the freedom from jier- secution, and by the religious privileges enjoyed by them in their new homos. To secure a suit- able place in which to conduct the Day School and hold the Sabbath services, the Board commis- sioned Mr. Mousseau to visit OHawa. and a few of the eongregiitions in (Mengarry. Ho met with gratifying success in his canvass, as the accompanying financial statement shows, and with great satisfaction the Board report the erection of commodious mission premises at Namur, in which tlie iieoplenow regularly gather for public worship, and in wliicli the Hay School is held. To com- plete the building only about ftlOO additional to the sum collected by the missionary will be re- quired. Mr. Mousseau himself took up 100 acres of laud, ten of which he has generously deeded to the Board, and on this site the mission premises have been built. The field promises well ; ujiwards of thirty French Protestant families are expected to settle there this fall ; the soil is good, and it is contidently hoped that before the lapse of many years there will he a large and self-sus- taining congregation there in connection with our Church, * XVI. — RIVER DESERT AND SIX PORTAflES, QUEBEC. This field is situated about ninety miles direct rorth of the City of Ottawa. In the fall of last year the Rev. T.

Besides tlie ordinary iViiiintary branches, particular attention i> given to the moral and religious training of the liii|iil>, the Word of God is daily read, and the WestniinHter Assembly's Shorter Cateidiism is Kiiiilarly taught, both in French and English, in all the classes of the senior department. The avirage attendance has been nearly lUO during the year. The Sabbath School has an attendance of i:tO, including several adult.s who avail thomsi'lves of the opi)ortuuity thus presented of adding til their stores of religious knowledge. Tlie (reneral Assembly last year gave power to the Presbytery of Chathara to transfer this mission to the American Presbyterian Church. Adeputatinu of Presbytery visited St. Anne in .liily, to endeavor to efl'ect a union between our own congregation and that connected with t)io .American Church. The litigatiDU witii the Koman Catholic Mishoi) as to the Church proi)crty, prevented a formal union taking place, tlidUgh the congregations are very friendly and have met together on the Ijord's Day during a considerable jiurt of the year. There is a prospect of tiio litigation ceasing before long, when it is liojied tlie union will be effected, and the whole luissiou transferred, if deemed desiraole, to tlu! American Presbyterian Church. Since the above was written, the Boanl learns, by a letter from Hev. C. Lafontaiue, that in tilt- last week of May, St. Anne was visited by nine priests, who held sjiecial services everj' day for n whole week, but in vain, so far as our congregation was concerned, not a single Protestant Laving been movoil from his steadfastness. XXI.^KiCEDEC CITY. It is gratifying to be able to report that there is now a French congregation in connection with our own chnrcli in this stronghold of Homanism. The congregation was formerly conneeteil with the " Synoii Jes /\:;lises ETani^eliijuts," In the end of last summer the people, along with their minister — llev. Ij. Jjangel — applied to be tak(!n under the care of the Board. The api)lica- tiun was granted, and the chairman visited Queliec in October and completed arrangements for the transfer of the mission. The I'.nglish friends in Quebec have organized a local committee, and (,'uaranteed the salary of the missionary to the extent of JtiOO per annum, the balancb (100,1 being mot by the funds of the Board. A beautiful and commodious church edifice, erected at a cost of uiuvards of ijKOOO, was completed in the early part of the winter, and opened, under encouraging circumstances, in the month of November. The entire (expense of the building has thus far been defrayed by the t^uebec friends, there only remaining a debt of SI, 800 upon it. The site selected is most advantaget)us, and the opening of the church — the first and only French Protestant Church ill the city — marks an epoch in the history of French evangelization in the ancient capital of Quebec. Mr. Langel having received and accej)ted a call to Switzerland, his place has been sup- jilied by the appointment, temporarily, of the Rev. B. Ouricre, a gentleman thoroughly (pialitied in every respect for so important a held. Mr. Ouriero entered upon his dutie's there in the be- f-'inuiiig of 5lay. He reports a membership of thirt}'. Services are held regularly in the morning luul evening of every Lord's Day, the attendance varying from forty to seventy, including a few Homau Catholics at nearly every service. The cit" is almost wholly under the control of the priests, the entire Protestant population numbering in 1871 but 7,000, whereas there are upwards of 5"J,000 Roman Catholics. In such a field the work necessarily is uphill, reipiiriug strong faith on the part of the minister and his little band of followers. Tii the eye of sens 3 it would seem utterly futile to labor with any hope of success among a people so fanatic and priest-ridden, bnt there is nothing too hard for the Lord, and with all its discouragements, the;e are not awant- ing indications of lietter days to come in this Popish stronghold. The organization of a Protestant Defence Alliance, or some similar society, for the protection of converts from Roiuau- isiu, would probably tend to advance the interests of the work; and the establishment of a gi;od primary and high school for French Protestants, would prove of a decided advantage — a boon which, it is hoped, will soon he supphed. XXII. — OTTAWA CITY. In this city, the capital of the Dominion, our missionary — Rev. M. Ami — continues to labor / with great diligence and lldelity. The congregation have had during the year to face many dis- / couragements, chiefly arising from the depression of business and the consequent scarcity of work, (!XV1. APPENDIX.

Ami in his anhious lalmrs, and with a view to open a preacliinfj station in tl:o western part of the city, the Ijoanl has ajipointed a student missionary— Mr. Jo-epli .Mlaril to Ottawa lor the summer. Having' only entered the field a lew weeks a^^'o, it is too soon to -|i('iik of his work fiirtlier than to state tliat a new preaching place has heen opened on the Flats, with a fair iittendanco to commence with. Since tlie rcc(]itionof the annual rcjiort of the eon(,'re^'ation, a devoted elih-r of the chnicli has lieen called to liis rest. !\fr. .\nii has frei|uently referred in his monthly statements tn the devntion cf this elder. I'l cnmmuni*'atin),' the great loss sustained hy the cnn).'rc).ration in hi.-) diath, he thus writes: — " It is needless fnr me to enter into any details of the last moments of uiir deceased hrother. His faith was tirm, his hoiie a living one, and his testimony to the pnwiidf the (tospel unshaken. His sjiiritual progress was astonishing, and his death a perfect tiiumiih.' Owing to the dimensions of the work in this city, and the number of laborers employcil m connection therewith, together with the fact that tlie hcnd(|nartcrs of the I'oard arc here, tliu Church generally is more familiar with the jirogress made during the year in Montical, than iiiiiiiy of the other tields occupied )(y the Hoard. In the beginning nf the year services were coiitined to the one church — Itussell Hall — conducted by ^Messrs. Chiniipiy and I'oudiet. To provide iic- comnindatinn for the rajiidly increasing number nf coiivi'rts from Kcunaiiisiii, the ISoard secineil an eligible site on Canning street, in the west end nf the city, on which they elected a large iiud substantial brick cliurch, caimble of accommodating six hundred persons.

The opening services in the morning and afuruoon wen; conducted in English, and the evening service in Frencli ; the attendance being large at each of th(! diets, especially in the evening, when tlie church was filled to nvertlnwing. The llev. C. Chiniiiuy w;is placed in charge of the new church, and the Kcv. Mr. Hondiet. was ap]ioiuted to that of St. John's Church, (liussell Hall,) liev. Mr. Ouriere assisting him by conducting the morning service. Mr. Chini([uy has occasionally been assisted hy the Hev. O. Camerle, an ex-Priost of ll(nne, whose apiilication for reception is before the (kneral AssemVily. That tlie Board acted wisely iu erecting a new church, 1ms been abundantly evidenced by the remarkalile success atteni^ont there- on. Sabbath after Sabbath the numbi'rs wnrshipping there have been well maintai" ed, the church generally being cttmfortably tilled, es]iccially at the evening service. It is somewbat dilli- cult to estimate the number of converts to Protestantism during the year in connection with ^Ir. Chini(iuy's labors,- but it is safe to state that at least "i.'iO families have been bronght uudc r thu sound of the Gospel. Tlu; Ordinance of the Lord's Supper was administered in the new churob in Ajtril. Of tlie converts from Eomanism, a large lunnber applied for membership, After care- ful and minute examination of each applicant individually, one hundred and fifteen were received into felh)wship with the Church. The Commimion service was one of deep solemnity, and will long bo remembered by those privileged to takt' part in it. The centre pews wore occupied by the communicants, and the side seats by a large and apparently interested congregation, among whom were several Eomau Catho- lics.

A lUble class was conducted by Mr. |)oiidii't, during the winter. The Sabbath School has n roll of thirty-two scholars. Concerning spiritual results, .Mr. Doudiet rejiorts large niuiil)er> as having professed to him to abjure l{omanism, during the year, and luUls that of these he believes (iipil has changed the hearts of about a score. Since the appointment of Itov. .Mr. Oiiriere to Quebec, Mr. A. 15. Cruchet assists Mr. Doudiet in St. .John's Church, sliariug the services and pastoral work with him. It cannot be denied there are impostors in a wiuk of this nature. Many, for tin s.ike u; obtaining relief from the Proti^stant House of Uefuge, or from private charity, profess to have lieeome converts to Protestantism. IJut impostors of this class are by no means coutiued to I'lfiich Canadians, it being a commonly received axiom that those wlio most jiersisteiitly seek relief from a House of Refuge are many of them the very scum of society. Thi' Board have sought, during the jiast winter, as far as possible, to prevent imposition in this direction, being I xtrumely desirous to encourage and foster a spirit of indeiiendeuce and self-reliance among the CTinvorts. They have employed a staff of paid visitors. Alphabetical lists of all Fiench applicants for aid, with their addresses, have been kept. These have been thoroughly and systematically visited. The Secretary has met weekly with the visitors to compare notes and revise the lists. Mr. Doudiet, tho liible woman, and generally one of the visitors have attended thi' House of Hefng(! each day that relief was distributed, "ind no mi'aus have been left untried to j)reveiit im- liositioD. In the ollice of the Board there in kejit a list of all the French I'rotestant families in the city, with thidr addi-esses, and ' in^ especially of the families cliMming conneetion with our I'Wu Church. During the present ,- inner, in addition to the ordained Missionaries, there are tbree F'rench students engaged by til Hoard, along with a liible woman and the Matron of the Ladies' French Ijvaugelization Society, by whom all the French Protestant familit^s are being regularly visited and instructed. In tie early part of last winter tho congregation worshipping in St. .John's Church (Russell Hall) were frLi{uently tlisturbed on Sabbath evenings, and stones were thrown through the windows. The Board asked protection from the civic authorities, wliich was Riven, and the disturbances soon ceased. Since then there has been n(i open i)crsecution of the Ciiiigregatiou or the ^Missionaries, yet tlie converts personally are exposed to persecution, theii .-ituations being taken from them, and in the depressed state of business it is generally impo^sil, I fur them to obtain others. The distress and suffering caused iu this way are incredible to all but those who are personally cognizant of the mattor. It assuredly requires considerable faith aii'l Courage on the jiart of a Roman Catholic iu this city, with a family dependent upon him, to cast iu his lot with those identified with, our French Protestant congregations. THE ladies' FRENCH EVANGELIZATION SOCIETT. This important auxiliary of the Board has been in active operation during the year. The Society leased a house in the central part of the city for a Mission House, and engaged the services of a lady as Matron. In the Mission House a mothers" meeting was held each Monday, con- ducted by the Matron, with an average attendance of twenty. / CXVlll.

One very imjiortant feature in regard to the French evangelization work of the Church, is iu connection with its bearing on Home Mission work, especially in the Province of Quebec. The fact is apparent that, apart from the city of ^lontrenl and one or two other points, the Eu(;lish population is yearly decreasing, and there are at jiresent u large number of districts with a s]iarse Englisli speakmg Protestant population — whose places are gradually being taken by French Bomanists — where, if Gospel ordinances are to be maintained at all, it must be by means of missionaries able to minister to the wants of the English-speaking section, and at the same time to make inroads on the French community. In such districts it is to the interests of the English- sjieaking Protestants to have a missionary who cfin preach in both languages, so as to ensure their having ordinances maintained among them at all, while at the same time it is in the interests of J'"rench evangelization to have the co-operation and moral sujiport of the Engli.-h- sneaking community in making inroads on the masses of French Bomanists by whom they are BiU'roundod — without which co-operation and support it would, in many instances, bo hazardous to imdertake mission work at all. In some of these districts the number of English-speaking Protestants is so rapidly diminishing, owing to emigration and other causes, that if a foothold is to be maintained, active, energetic steps must be taken without delay to plant missionarii-s ipiali- lied to conduct ser\ ices iu both languages. The future of our Church in the Province of (^uehec depends, under God, not so much upon our Home ^lission Committee, in granting supplements to sustam ministers in weak and struggling English-speaking congregations, as upon cordial co- oiieration and united action on the part both of our Home Mission Committee and our Board of Fre)uh evangelization in giving the gospel, by means of missionaries able to speak in both languages, to the English and French communities. FBENCn I'0rrL.\TI0N OF TUE DOMINION. jSjn erroneous idea exists in the minds of most of our people as to the /ieM for French Evangelistic effort. Many suppose that it is confined exclusively or nearly so to the Pro\-ince of Quebec. A glance at the census returns of 1871 shows that in the Province of Ontario tJiere are upwards of 75, 'lOO French-.speaking people. \M)il« these are scattered all through the Province (as will be seen from the sulijoincd statistics) — there being some in every one of the ninety electoral districts — there are grouped together from one to two thousand in each of no le*8 than sixteen differiiit towushijis, and upwards of two hundred iu each of sixty-eight other township-;. In th" Province of New liruuswick there are 45,000, and in that of Nova iScotia, 3;?,iiu0 French-.-jieaking people. If to these are added the large numbers in the Province of Manitoba, as well as those iu Newfouudlaud and Prince Edward Island, it will be seen that Frencli Evangelistic effort needs by no means be confined to the Iroviu'ie of Quebec. Indeed there is scarcely au,y limit to this department of the Church's work in the Dominion. The task cdiumitteJ to the IJoard of French Evangelization is assmedly a herculean one, and one that will tax to the uttermost the energies of the Church for many a long year to come. Self-interest, the politicd, social, moral aud religious liberties of our children, and the future destiny of our Dominion, all dem.iiul that vigilant and unremitting eff'ort be jiut forth for the evangelization of the l,'_'.30.t»(lO of our French-speaking fellowcitizens, the vast ma>s of whom are at present ignorant of the way of snKation through a crucified Bedeemer.

Sabbatli t of the • Lond'H Sabbath insion that ditYer ma- liientiou to all ;r value. And The various communications and reports received by the Com-cni-r of your I'ommittee are not as numerous and full as in former years, nor do they furnish much that is new to the Assembly. They almost all give a list of subjects which were discussed at the various School Con-ciitious, and Scilfniiits of Presbyteries, but many of these subjects have been mentioaed in former rejjorts. Cue reason, no doubt, why more and fuller communications were not sent is, that last year's report was not read before the Assembly, but was laid on the table. Every report received this vear mentions the fact and regrets it. To give a synopsis of what has been done this year woi 'I not add anything new to what has been brought before tlie Assembly on former occasions; r» 1 very much would be a repetition of last j'ear's report. It is quite evideMt, however, from what has been recei'^ed, that the impidse towai School work is greatly on the increase all over the Church. During the past year Presbyteries and Synods have bad their attention turned to this important matter. lUid Hamilton Synod unanimously agreed to give two Sederunts to the discussii School subjects. In every Court of the Church, except the Assembly, thero is no ■ evokes a more profouxid interest. Your Committee do not think it necessary to draw up a report wlibdi would terially from that presented last year, but they ask the Assembly to ])ay special the rcconiiitcndatiims of last year's report, as being in their judgment of permai' to these they add two others : 1. That more importance be attached to ■ , '1? |B Ml ''^ ex XIV. APPENDIX. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. To the General Assi'vihly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada : Your committee acknowledge that they are not in 'i position to present a report of much interest, especially as regards efforts put foith during the year. The circumstances iu which they are ])liiced have jireciuded the opportunity of a meeting for consultation, and agreement on matter to lie presented in their report. This, however, is less to he regretted, as from i)revious reports the Gi-neral Assembly is already iu jiossession of extensive information as t(» the various forms of Sahbath desecration existing in different parts of the Dominion. These painful facts still riMpiire to be kept before tlio Church which you represent, that every member of it may be led to persevere in consistent and united elTorts to remove prevailing sinful practices, and to resist encroachments on the sanctity of the Lord's Day. Infornuition has not reached your Committee of any marked increase of Sabbath profanation in its ordinary chauntds, or of the develojunent of any new forms of this otTence against good morals und^Ood's Law. At the same time your committee cannot report satisfactory progress in endeavours to lessen the existing violations of I'ivine Law; nor can they ])oint to the .success of the measures of the previous year as commensurate with the etforts put forth, or eipial to the ex- pectations raised, liailway tralhc is still carried on, it is believed as extensively as ever. Postal communication is also, it is feared, increasingly open on the fjord's l)ay. Other forms of the evil appear to maintain their ground with undiminished force. Aftei' tlie opening of the Intercolonial Kaihvay last summer, the running of trains was in some degree allowed on the Sabbath, resulting in an increase of the desecration of the day iu the Pro- vince of Nova Scotia. This was promptly and energetically (jpposed, especially by the Presbytery of Truro. A (inference of the friends of the Sabbath, representing different Christian denomi- nations, was held in Truro last autumn. As a result of the conference, strong and decided representations were made to the general (iovernment on the subject. The railway authorities then made arraiij'.'ments which partly lessened the trailic complained of. But very soon, on the occasion of the departure of the r.uglish mail from Halifax in the British steamers, an increased number of trains came rolling into Halifax on the Lord's Daj'. This, with the conveyance of large mails to the wharf, and the de])arture of the steamers on the same day, produced a greater amount of Sabbiith desecration thru previously existed. Such a glarh:;-' aid public otTeuce, and committed by < lilcers of the Government, ought not to continue, or to be repeated. Much credit is due to the I'resbytery of Truro for its prompt and well-timed action. In vitw of the numerous forms of Sabbath desecration, the Church represented by the Ceneral Assembly is undeniably called on by her Divine Head to continue her testimony again- 1 these, and to use every legitimate means to eradicate the evil. Her pulpits should give forth no uncertain sound on this subject. The sin of breaking the fourth commandment ought to be exhibited in its true colours, and most pernicious conseipienees. The great value of a Scriptural observance of the Lord's Day in Hs moral and spiritual advantages, ought iu be pre- sented with frequency and force. Sabbati, .Schools can do much to imbue the mind.s of the young with the love of the "one day in seven." Parental instruction and example ought to be very decided and consistent on this vitally important subject. P^very member of the Church should discountenance the shghtest breach of the precious command, and ought conscientiously " to spend the whole of the sacred day in the public and private exercises of (.Jod's worslup, except lb (occupied in the works of necessity and mercy." Widely extended as the Church is, and numerous as are its members, were the jiractice thus recommended universal, a most important inlluei 31 would be exerted throughout the Dominion in favour of the due sanctificatiou of the Lord's Day. But without this, committees may report and recommend, and General Assembhes may agree and resolve, yet the sin of Sal)bath desecration will prevail and advance. Sabbath profanation, lil .■ every moral ami spiritual disease, has a strong tendency to increase. This is specially observable in this bustling and trallicking age. Hailway trains can with dithculty be made to stiMid still. Telegraph messages are very reluctantly laid aside. A iiews-loWug and money-making people can scarcely be restrained from indulging in the pleasure that comes through the post ollice, even though the Great Jehovah be dishonored thereby. All this loudly calls for inereaseo. activity on the jiart of the Church of Christ. Here, as elsewhere, " (Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The followers of Christ must unitedly, decidedly, and continually resist encroachments on the Lord's Day f-om the "world, the flesh, and the devil.' O]iposition to these enemies of God and man is nible, it is Christ-like, and cannot \)i' altogether unavailing. Nor will it be unrewarded. 'When individual eilon fails in preventing open acts of transgression against the law of the Sabbath, let apidication be made to the courts of the t'burch. Our Precbyterian .system alTo-ds a fine oiiportunity of doing this. Jiet sessions report faithfully to Presbyteri* .? the offences of which they are cognizant. Then. Presliyteries can bring the subject under the notice oi Synods, or report the matter to the Assembly's Committee. Tlius, the comlaned action and influence of the whole Presbyterian Church of the Doniinioji may he brought to bear oti Ih'ce who openly violate the law of God, and often also the law of the land. Vour Committee lo(jk tut co-operation of this kind. Without this, they cannot be expected to be well informed of tlie existence or progres.^ of the evils connected with the subject whicli they have bee/j unjiointed to guard. Ou 1c. APPENDIX. C'XXV. tlie question of Sabbath oljservdm-e, well may it be Buid, "the Church expects every muu to Jo liis duty." In dosing, your Committee do not see cause to locommend any Hpeeial line of imblic action lieyond the Hnnj,'estions already ntTeri'd. In the event, however, of tlu^ incri'ase of Sabbatii dese- cration on public work^, the General Assembly, through its accredited otlicers, duuht decididly to remind the Premier of the Doiiiiuion (iovernnient of his iissuynfic; giv -n during; tlie diseus^iun nf the subject in I'arliiiment in 187(!, " that the (rcivurnment would do whatever wa-; in their power to better the ciuestiou.''

Olendinuing, and Mrs. Dr. llayne, each with an orphan child under sixteen years of age, have come upon tJie fund and have received the half- yearly annuity payable on the 1st .January last, making the total expenditure as follows :— Payment to six widows at ?120 S720 one " (10 00 " two " ." six months 120 " three orphans at t'2() 00 " four " 10 I'll " two " six mouths 20 SL074 leaving a balance of Sil,076.70 to bo added to the capital fund, which now amounts to $20,472.27, to which, however, is to be added the intcri'st on shares of tin Ihiildiiij,' Society accrued, but not yet entered in the Treasurer's books, amounting to $1,558.10, making our total capital fund .'^22.030.43, which with cash in the Treasurer's hands, makes our assists 1?22, 135.03. To this might also be added the increase in the value of stocks, and arrears diie from members, which would make our total assets nearly $23,000. The receipts during the jiast year have been slightly short of those of the previous year, the deliciency being .S80.50, and lieing entirely in the paj'ment of uiembev^' dues, the cause doubtksa being that members have delayed paying, in the expectation that by the nrrangemeiits of the new fund, they will only require to pay at a lower rate than they have been hitherto doing.

If, however, tho tieneral .Vssombly would -till adliero to the idea of a f,'raduatod scale, the Trustees would rospoctfiilly but earnestly recommend, that ii luoro e(|ual rate be a.lopted, say for («ne oriihaii $C)(), for tho second S.'jO, for the third SM, atul for each additional S'MK The Trustees, moreover, do not consider, that there is an> reason for continiiiiii.' the annuity to sirls to a later age than to hoys. The Trustees in view of the aniiilj,'iiniation of their fund with the' funds of the other bodies now united, have agreed to iilace on their rocoid an expression of their deej> obli^'ati(Uis to Howard I'lirarose. Esq., their Treasurer, for the manner in which lie has kept the accounts of tho fund and managed all our financial allairs for upwards of twelve years, not only without remuner- iitioii, hut without claim for expenses, and the jiri'^ound gratitude due to him fnun o\(^iy jierson I'onnected with tho fund. They have also placed o.i their records a similar expression of their sense of tho services of their Secretary, and have reniiosted each of them to accept the sum of 8200 as a small acknowledgment of the oliliga'ior.s uu ler which all connected with the fund are jilaced to them. The Trustees have also to acknowledge the loss su-tained by the death of their Chairman, the late Dr. liayne, and have elected tb.o llev. D. 15, Blair t arc strictly (enforced, in the event of death occurring in the meaB time, forfi ued the title of tlair families to i)artici])ate in the benefit of the fund. The number of Sul)scriberH is (as per Ust annexed) 14 These may be divided into 4 classes, viz. — ist. — Those who have paid up all due^ and whose congi'egations have forwarded collections annually 5 2nd. — Those who have ]iaid up all dues, but whose congregations have forwarded only one collection 4 3rd. — Those who have paid up all dues, but whose congregations have forwarded no collection 2 4th. — Those who have i)aid only one year's dues and whose congregations have forwarded only one collection 3 14 Memo.— The schemt has been in operntiou for only two years, tbis being the third. There are two Ministers' widows receiving annuities from the fund, viz. : — Mrs. Donald ami Mrs. Keay, 1^(iO i ach. Application has repeatedly been made to the Committee for an increase of the amount jiaid to these widows, but as it had been fixed at %0 \)l't annum by the late Synod of the Maritime Provinces in connection with the Church of Scotland, previous to Union, the Committee did not fi'el authorised hitherto to accede to the application in view of the proposed amalgamation of the several funds ; but as the amalgamation i^ again delayed, and as the fund is in a good condition, the C'onimitteo would now recommend that instead of $C>0 per annum. 8120 be jtaid resjieetively to Mrs. Donald and Mrs. Keay. On account of the delay in amalgamating the various funds, cases are emerging that cannot be dealt with acccfrding to ordinary rules. Ministers who Were ni connection with the Kirk, are being called to cougreg; tions that were not; and congrega- tions that were comiected with the Kirk are calling ministers that were not. It is respectfully suggested that full jiower l)e given to the Committee to deiil with such individual cases as they occur (m an e(juitable basis, so that the interests of the fund shall not suffer. It is a fundamental i)rineiple of the fund,* that all who are entitled to its benelit shall pay a regular a inual rate, and make an annual congregational (.-oUection for it. In accordance with this, the Committee might liave struck otT the list of beneficiaries, cla.^ses 2, 3, and 4 before this ; but knowing that at the inception of such a fund delays and misunderstandings are inevitable in some cases, they would iiggest that th<' time allowed to those clashes to comply with the regulations be extended to December 31st of this year.

GEO. MITCHELL, Tn-asurer, IV. d- O. Fund. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE AGED AND INFIRM MINIS- TERS' FUND— WESTERN SECTION- 1877. Your Committee liavc to repoit that they began the ytar with fifteen names, exclusive of Jlr. Malcolm's, on their Koll. Mr. Malcolm's name has not appeared for some years, as the Com- niitteedid not know how to vi'fer to it. They have now to state that they, some time ago, paid the Provincial authorities of Ontario the &um of ^iJOO on his account, in lieu of all ]>ast claims, and tliat they are in ioires]iondence regarding his future maintenance. The terms when tixed will be madi' known to the Assembly. The Committee, as directed last year, made further en(|uiry regarding Mr. 1!. D. Mackr.y, and learned that he laboured for four years as .Minister in Wellesley, and for four or live years as Missionary, but with.uit Prcsbyterial recognition, within the bounds of the Presbytery of Ontario — that he had laboured in other places in this country for one year, for seven in connection with the original Seceders, and for one in the Free Church. It is for the Assembly now to dispone of bis case. APPENDIX. CXXXiLL The names on the Roll and the rates of payment for the- past year were : — J. Fotheringham JilHO 00 H. Gordon 2")() 00 D. Mackenzie 250 00 W. Smart 12;'j 00 (K) 00 00 I). CouLts 250 Wm. Lochead 250 Chas, Fletcher 250 J. Duff 250 00 D. MacMillan §250 00 G. Cheyue 250 00 J. R. Scott 250 00 J. G. Carruthers 100 00 J. Paterson 250 00 J )aniel Allan 250 00 J. Malcohn 335 00 Of these the name of Mr. Kmart is now removed by his death. The Committee agreed to admit the following to jmrticipate in the benefits of tlio Fund. Dr. Darrie, of Kramosa, at tht.' rate of .S250, payments to be reckoned from the date at which Lc ceases from diseliarge of pastoral duty. Mr. Robert Dewar, of Lake Shore, at the rate of .?200, when he shall have ceased from repular jtastoral work. Mr. James Mitchell, once of Milton, at the rate of ?100, payments to be reckoned from Ist of April. Your Committee have had applications also on Ixhalf of Mr. Porteous, formerly of Beverly, ami of Mr. Wm. Meldnnn, late of Harrin^;ton. Your Committee felt tliat they had not sutlieient (viiience that these brethren are too infirm for pastoral work, and while they did not wish to place any bar in the way of their reception, tlu-y thought it best to report the eases to the Assembly. Your Committee are glad to find that the income assigned tliem is larger than that of last year, and that the expenditure is somewhat leas ; but they have to call the attention of the Assembly to the fact, that tiny have again reduced their capital nearly §1100, and that, as far as appears, the exjienditure of the current year shall largely exceed that of any which preceiled it. Y'our Committee are anxious to extend the benefits of the Fund, and increase tlie grants, and they earnestly hope that the Assembly will take the necessary steps to enable them to do so ; and at the same time they would urge that Presbyteries should furnish the Committee with the grounds on which they make application. The Committee further wish it clearly understood that all jmyments are conditional on the Fimd being equal to meet the claims against it. JOHN MACTA\1SH, Convener. Haxifax, 2Ij/ June, 1877. REPORT OF AGED AND INFIRM MINISTERS' FUND- TION— 1877. -EASTERN SEC- The Committee on the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund for the Maritime Provinces beg leave to report that the receipts for the past year have been as follows : — From Scbscriptions and Donations, $233 17 " Interest and dividends 346 20 ?579 37 In our last report it was mentioned that the committee had agreed on application of the Presby- tery of Hahfax to place the name of the Rev. J. 1). McGillivray, late of Newport, upon the li.tt of annuitants. But soon after they learned that his health was sutliciently restored to enable him to undertake the duties of Inspector of schools for Hants County, and accordingly his name was dropped from the list. Since that time they have placed upon the fund the Rev. James Waison, of New Annan, on ap- plication of the Presl)ytery of Wallace, and the Rev. Ebenezer Ross o' Upper Londonderry on ap- plication of the Presbytery of Truro, each at the rate of .S20fl per annum, commenciugjou the Ist of January last. These brethren have received two-quarters' annuity. The whole payments have been .SGOO, so that there has been in the receipts the small deficiency of $20.63, which deducted from the balance on hand at the beginning of the year leaves the amount now in fund as follows : — Invested, $6,124 17 Cash in Treasurer's hands, 389 54 86,513 71 They also agreed, on application of the Presbytery of Miramichi, to place the name of the Rev, A. McMaster, of Newmills, upon the list of annuitants, but as the arrarfgements for his severance from his congregation are not yet completed, he has not yet received any annuity. \ h : I ^ 11 tell.

When the fund was in tiliited hy th'.' late Synod of the I'lishytnian Chnrch of the fjower I'mvince-i, it whs imt deenieil advisulile to appoint ;iny additional annual colli ctioii, m t-oii-cciuence of the niniiiMT id- ready iciniired. It was thend'ore agreed to make an ajipeal to conKie^'ationN and individuals, tu contrilaite siudi a snm a- would with intt>re^t, ami occa-ional donations, render any i-'eneral cnl- lection iinneci's>ary for sonio year^. A i)ortion of tin; (.'liurcdi liberally responded, and the fmil has increased every year till the jiresent. Were the coii^'rcKations of the Maritinii; Provinces, wli.i have not already contribiiteil, to do so with the same hberality, the fund would he in a still inoic Houri-hinf,' condition, atid in a po-itioii to meet the increased demands henceforward to he mad'' Ujton it. In view cf the circum-tances inentiomd, it niinht be just, --bould thi' As-emhly re^olvi' on the imuiediati aiiviltramation of the fuu'I-. and a]>iioint )in ainiual collection, not to make it imperative for a time on tliose couKre^'alioiis tliroueh whoso liberality tln' jaesent fund has been raised. Your Committoe, in vi(!W of the responsibility liithoi'to resting uiion them in the manaKenicni of this fund, feel it their duty rosp;ctfully to repre>ent their views regardine the proposed rcKula- tions for the new fund. In jiarticular they would object to the sliding scale i)r()posed. liy it a Uiin- ister of ten years' standing, disableil in the Provi(h>nce of God, is oidy to receive ?l(Ht ])er amnuu, while a minister of forty years is to receivi; ? liH). It must be evident, tliat as a general ride, the former nnist be the more necessitous of the two. A minister disabled at that period of his career, will, in the large majority of cases, have a young family dependent on him, and from the CApen- ses, which he must in various ways have incurred at the coninu'iicement of his ministry, cannot possibly ha >o saved anything, worth ineiitioning, while the ministei', who has served forty years or more, can scarcely have the sanu- number of helidess dejieiidant^, and will in most cases have been able to lay by something for (dd age. Congregations too are UKue likely to do liberally fur persons who have served them so long, than in the cast; of those, who have served for shorter peri(jds. On merely commercial princijiles. it might be proper to regard merely length of service, yet as tb(^ sui)port of the fund must depend on the Christian symjiathy of the members of th,' Church, wi^ are convinced that neither the |ieo|de nor our nnni.sters will be .satislied with an ar- rangement by which a servant of (iod. disabled in Providence from active service, it may be through liis toils in tlie service of the gosjiel, with tive or six helpless cliililren deiiendent on him, shall receive only one liunilred dollars from this fund, while another with no such burden, anil who may be provided for otherwise, may receive four times the amount. We may add as to the amounts jiroposed. that we regard the highest, as higher than the pre- sent liberality of th(^ Cliurch will warrant the (reneral Assembly in promising, and the smalkr as entirely too low. We would therefore suggest a medium sum, say S'ioO. It is indeed said, that the larger sum shall he granted only " if the funds permit." Your Counnittee strongly object to any such uncertainty. In the ojiinicm of your Committee, it would bo better to jjromise a lower sum than to have any contingency about it. It will be easy to increase the amount should the fimds warrant. Sliould there be any difTerence of rates, the Committee believe that tlie principle adopted iu the management of this fund is the fairer one, viz., to give the full annuity to those who by reason of age or ill health are disabled from tlio duties of an active jirofessiou, and a less to those wdio though not entirely disable nmnhfr of tho t'oii^Tcfrations at the oiilHct --iilisi'iilMHl for i l.iM.'('r nmiila'r of c'o)iic> than was rcnuirpil.

Your ('oimnittee have reason to state that the chanKi's made have met with the approlmtinn of some, who have diclared the fcprms pr(tpared this year pn'ferable to thos(' formerlj' employed, while they have not met IIks a)ii)robation of others, a result which they anticipated. It has, We iielieve, been customiiry with ]irecedinK Committees to alter, when they judt.'eii necessary, the returns received fiom Presbyteries, so as to make them iii)pear consistent with themselves. I-'.xception has been inkvn aKainst this course in some cases. It must 1)6 admitted, too, that instances opcur in whi(di the faci; of the returns would iudicatis errors, whereas, if uU circumstances were known, a- ' jtroper explanations Kiven, no errors existed. It mif,'lit hajipen, for exam))le, that a certain su. vas entered in the column for " stipend jiromised,'" and a smaller sum in the oni' tor "stipend ]iaid," and the inference would be that there were "arrears due,'' wbih' no eul"y was made in the column for such, and tlie Committee might cimsider themselves justified in niakinf; one, while, in reality the correction should be madi^ in the entry of " stijiend promised," the sum beinj,' returned to which the stipend had been raised in the course of the yenr, nnd at which it stood at the close of it, as if it had been promised at tlie bi'giuning of the year— a fact of which the Clommittet! could liave no knowledge, and in which there was an incorrect return. In consecjuence of these and other considerations, which need not be si)ecified. the returns are printed this year as they have been received from Presbj-tories. No corrections have been engrossed of the entries or the additions, where tliese have been made by Presbytery Clerks. All the Committee is responsible for is accuracy of printing. The Assembly and Church will thus hav(! an oiiportnnity of ascertaining the shape in which these returns have been received, and it is lioped that the effect will be greater care on the part of Presbyteries iu rjompiliug their reports from those si'Ut iu by congregations ; for examination will show thit very few of the thirty-tlireo arc! either full or accurate. Wliile, however, the Committee have adopted this course as to/r/«//«^, they would state that all the returns have been subjected to as careful an inspection as was found practicable. In con- sequence of the lateness of the arrival of some there was but little time to examine them. Those, for exauii)le, from tlie Presbytery of Quebec, did not come to band till thojirs/, and those from that of Prince Edward Island, till the srromi of June — oidy a few days prior to the meeting of the Assembly — and that although notices had been issued iu the Halifax IVittiess and Montreal Kfford — thus, it is jiresuraed, falling under the notice of all Presbytery Clerks — that the Com- mittee would not be responsible for engrossing in this report any returns wliich h'-.d not reached the Convener by the 9th of May. The results of the corrections are published in Table A for the Statistics, and in Table B for the Financial Statement ; but it is thought requisite to call atten- tion tothe fact, that even in these no correction has been made iii the returns of stipend promised or paid, nor in arrears ; — no attempt has been made to harmonize these ; all that has been done has been to give the correct addition of each of tlie columns. Even when an entry has been made of " stipend paid," and none of " stipend promised." or the reverse; — and instances of both occur, — or the name of a congregation reporting is omitted, while that of the pastor is given, the blank has not been supi)licd. It is gratifying to your Committee to be able to report that returns have been received this year from all the I'resbytories. Last year there were two in default, and even three when the General Assembly met, but one of these was received while they were in session. Some are very incomplete, as an example of which, we may mention the Presbytery of Quebec, from which only 6 Financial Statements of congregations have been received, 2 of these being mission con- gregations. But there is no report from St. Andrew's Church, Quebec ; Sherbrooke; Point Levi; Scotstown; — which, however, returns its Statistics. Tliree Elvers; Melbourne; Hampden ; Rich- mond ; and Windsor Mills; Lingwick; Winslow; nor lanville ; — 11 congregations, 4 of which are vacancies; iu other words, out of 15 congregations and 2 mission congr.,>gatious, 11 have not reported, nor has any return been sent in from the mission stations, 5 in number. On the other hand, the Presbjiery of Paris has but one blank, and in the Presbytery of Huron there is not one. It may have been only by perseverance on the part of the Clerks that so full reports were procured, but the result was worth the trouble, and it would be well if all Clerks were equally painstaking. In the Statistical Tables the names of 805 congregations have been given, of which 122 are vacancies, and I'i'.t do not send any report. Adding the delayed returns which have been printed, the number of Churches amount to 1,042, and the number of " Other Stations," sup- plied by pastor, to 364, all it is to be presumed, the nuclei of separate and self-sustaining cougre- APPENDIX.

In Sabbath schools and Bible classes, there am 7'-' H()7 receiving instruction, under a .staff of 7,40,') teachers, who have cheerfully offered and ffi ely given their services to this interesting and important sphere of Christian usefulness,— representing an average of nearly l(i scholars to each teacher. Volumes in libraries are reported as l.')M,003, including both congregational and Sabbath school. Two hundred and forty-two Missionary Associations exist— certainly far from the nnmber that ought to be. To the (juestioii '•Is there a manse or rented house for the pastor?'" 2;>7 rejjort manses, \'.\ rented houses, and 88 simply reply " yes," leaving it uncertain whether it is one or the other, for it cannot be both, that is jtrovided. There ia a similar uncertainty regarding the column " Was Church or Manse built during the year," 5 answering " yes " but not specifying which ; Uti havo built churches. and 21 have built manses. It would be unsatisfactory to make any allowance for the congregations that have not re- ported. Oue-fourth added to the above might give a pretty correct total. lUit the only reliable ti^-'ures, — and even these, it is to be feared, not always strictly accurate — are those procured from congregaticns and Presbyteries which should foel themselves under solemn obligations to make the returns re(iuired of them. This ia no impossibility. Even this year's statistics with all their blanks, show that it is attainable. It has been done by some ; it could have been done by all. Turning now to the Financial Statements, we find the names of 590 ministers, exclusive of professors in colleges; 715 pastoral charges, a discrepancy of 90 from the statistical reports ; 119 vacancies, a discrepancy of 3 ; and 660 congregations report, a difference of 3H in favour of the latter. These discrepancies arise in part from financial statements being sent in, wliile the statistics have not been, and conversely ; and in part from the reports from joint congregations being combined in one schedule, and separate in the other. Ashburn and Utica, for example, in the Presbytery of Whitby, report their finances separately, but combine or appear to combine their statistics, and other cases might be specified. Your Committee cannot but remark the very unsatisfactory manner in which entries have been made in the Schedule for Presbyteries for Financial Statements. They bad caused to be printed on the corner margin of these Schedules very plain and precise directions, and pointed out particular columns the entries in which should be the sums of certain preceding columns. Column No. 9 was to contain the sum of columns 4, 6, 7 and 8, that is, should show tlie Stipend paid from all sources ; the amount expended on Church during the year ; the amount expended on Manse during the year ; and all other congregational expenditure, whatever the object was. Column 16, again, was to show the amount contributed for all the Schemes of the Chiuch, inclu- ding Sabbath School contributions to missions. And column 19 was to be filled in with the de- tails of columns 9, 16, and 18, in the last of which " Contributions to benevolent objects not pre- viously specified" were to be entered. Attention, however, has not been given, in many cases, to these directions, and thus the correctness and agreement of the reports have been interfered with. Sometimes the Stipend promised from all sources has been set down for congregations, from which there are no returns, and when there is no entry of Stipend paid ; and in other instances the Stipend promised has been entered as having been paid, while still the report is " no returns" from the congregations. Examples illustrative of both points occur in the Presbytery of Mir- amichi. Kingston and Kichibucto have ?700 entered as Stipend promised and Stipend paid. Camp. bellton has similar entries of $800. Yet in both cases "no returns." New Carhsle, Hopetown, aud Port Daniel (P.Q.) have the Stipend promised given, but there are no other entries. Of course this destroys any possibility of a balance between the two columns. In the same connection we may remark that, in many cases, arrears have not been entered, although one would expect these to be inserted as faithfully as the Stipend promised, and the Stipend paid. The Committee may be allowed to state here that they would havo preferred to retain a column from last year's forms, namely, that for the amount of Stipend paid by the congregation alone, and even to have added one for " Stipend derived from other sourcPB," whether the Tem- poralities or Home Mission Funds, but were led to curtail by the instructions under which they were acting. There were other items towards which they felt in the same manner. Proceeding now to the summings up of the different returns as they have been reviewed and prepared by the Committee, and including those that were delayed, we find that $467,275.45 was the aggregate amount of Stipend promised, which gives an average to each minister of a little un- der $800. A few years ago it was not much more than one-half of this amount. Of this sum $451,549,714 have been paid, or an average of §765 to each minister. From table B it would ap- pear that the Presbytery of Newfoundland is without arrears of Stipend, but in the "Delayed Returns" the congregation of Bay of Islands, which is described as having been a Mission station for ten months is reported as under a promise of $800, and as having paitl only 8206.90, while the arrears are set down as S84 ; figures which plainly indicate that there is some great error, — for if the K cxxxviu.

These Rums should iiKKreKato jH2,;')()!).lti :— a discrepancy of g/;41(.3.j, accounted for by the fact that in sev.ral cotiKref^'iitions tho amount contributed for tho Schemes has been entered in tho column for tlio total while it has not been eiit(u-eJ in the columns for tho jiarticulars. As ono example we may refer to Knox Church, Hamilton, or Kill»ride, iu the same Presbytery Tim amount raised by Sabbath Schools, with thuir 7'2,8()7 members was ?20,800.99, not nn average of tiiiuty cents to each, l>rovin^; what reports in former years have proved, that sulllciciit attention is not given to instruct tho young iu our congregations in tho grace of liberality, nor to call into exercise the energy latent here for the spread of the Gospel. The contributions to objects not yet specified were 945,402. PJ ; and tho contributious to all purposes '&'J86,lir).S.3, showing that entries to the amouut of 904.51 have been mado iu tho last column which have not appeared elsewhere. The amount of debt as reported— but your Comiuittee have good reason to know that tbo real 6um is iu excess of this — is 9527,977.93, of which the largest item is iutho Presbytery of Toronto; tho second iu that of Ottawa ; the third in that of Hamilton ; the fourth in that of Halifax, etc. Comparing, so far as can be done, tho returns for this year with those for last, there is an in- crease of three vacant congregations. There is a falling off of 84 in the number of congregations reporting. This may arise, in part, from some joint Charges combining their Returns this year that gave them separately last year, but it is also owing to the fact that aomo reported then that havo not done so now. The number of stations supplied by Pastors given last year was 1,135, tliia year it is 1,406. Families reported then 54,1.32J ; this year 56,103, au increase of 2,031. Number of Oommunicauts then 88,228 ; now it is given at 93,788. Number of Elders in tlie former year 3,412; in tho latter 3,590. Number of other Oilice-bearers 4,970 last year; this year 5,278. Week-day meetings 1,050 as against, this year 1,020. The number in Religious Classes shows a fallin.L,' off, only apparent, however, of 0,337. Volumes in Sabbath Scliool and Congregational Libraries also show a decrease. Tho number of Missionary Associations shows an increase of 21), with ono Ladies' Association. There is a decrease in the r.umbcr of Mauses and Eeuted Houses reported. Passing to the Financial Statements there is an increase of 924,381.24, on Stipend Promised, and of 99,228.04, on Stipend Paid. There is a falling off in tho amouut expended on Churches and on Manses, but an increase of nearly 930,000 on " Other Congregational Expenditure ;" and au increase of 911,922.03 on Total Contributions for strictly Congregational purposes. On the College Fund there is a slight decrease ; on the Home Mission Fund, an iucreaseof nearly 90,000; on the Foreign Mission Fund, an increase of about 91.000; on the Fund for Aged and Infirm Ministers, and for tho Widows and Orphans of Ministers, an increase of between 9-100 and 9500; on tho Assembly Fuud, there is a decrease, but on French Evangelization, an increase of con- siderably upwards of $;i,000. Sabbath School Contributious liave been almost double, a fact full of promise. Total Contributions to tho Schemes of tho Church show a falling off of somewhat more than 9500, but there can bo no doubt there would have been au evident increase if all tho Cougro.Lrations that re))orted last year had reported this one. Total Contributions for all Purposes show au increase of more than '53000. All things considered, it may bo confidently concluded that God is blessing the Presbyterian Church iu Canada with prosperity. It may be assumed that AITRNDFX.

Nor can your Committee he expected to have their Report for the Aflsembiy ready in a shorter time than a month, ho that delay on tho part of ProHbyteries is an injiistici; to them, and freijuently causes such haste that jierfoct accuracy is scarcely attainable. That there is un- necessary delay by some Presbyteries is establishod by tho fact that one, the ecclesiastical year of whose Con^reKatious ended on .^l-t December last, had not its lieport in the hands of the Com- luitteo till after tho beginning of the present month- five months after tho (iUiso of the year it covered, or say four months after C i^'re^ational Reports had been received. Your Comniittoe think that it should bo made a rule that all Presbytery Statistics atid Financial Statements should be despatched so as to bo with tho Convener by the first day of May in each year. A review of the Reports thus summarily presented to th(^ Assembly shows that (rod is waterinR tho Presbyterian Chnrcli in Canada with tho dews of Heaven. He has done great things whereof let us be glad. Is Ho not promising to do still greater? Let iis be believing. .\t the same time let all Ministers and Elders, let all the people, young and old, be co-workors with Him in giving efTect to tho counsels of His grace and the assurances of His word. Let past prosperity be an incentive and encouragement to the more active prosecution of our generation service, persuaded that God is with us, that He will bless us, and increase us in days yet to come even more than Ho has done in those which have gone by.

In the removal of Dr. Tayloi , the Church has snstnimd a very heavy loss. His influence as a minister of the Gospel and ns one interested in every tlung connected with the intcllcotuiil moral, and spiritual interests of the cinmtry, was extensively felt, not only within the I'reslivteriiiul Church, but nmonR all classes of the community. Dr. Taylor was born and educated in Scotland, He came to Canada in June, 1HH3, and organized what is ir,»w known as Erskine Church, di>]i(n-| sing the communion to 105 communicants. He almost imnied lately commenced his labours in tliel sphere which he so worthily and successfully tilled for upwards of forty-tlnee years. He was al very earnest fri(aid of Presbyterian Union, and after tiie Cnlon of 18(11, was unanimously I called to the Moderator's chair. As a Biblical scholar Pr. Taylor had few superiois; us a i)ublicl speaker, he was impressive and persuasive ; as a Pastor he was attentive^ and dili^'cnt. For a few years before his death his labours were shared by a colleague and successor, but he con- tinued to the end to take part in the various duties of the pastoral office. His death took place at ' Portland, Maine, after a short illness, on the 4th September, 1870. BEV. WILLIAM SMAr.T. The Eev. William Smart, who may be truly regarded as one of the Fathers of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, died at (iananoque on the 9th September, 187<). He was educated for the min- istry of the Congregational Church, and was ordained in 1810, with the view of going to the West Indies; but he was providentially led to come to Canada. He arrived at Brockville in 1811. For a number of years he itinerated extensively in all the settlements between Cornwall and Kingston. He was connected with the United Synod of Upper Canada, which body in 1840 joined the Synod in connection with the Church of Scotland. In 1844 he identified bimself with the Presbyterian Church of Canada. He was a warm friend and advocate of Sabbath Schools and Bible Societies, and will long o remembered by many as a faithful minister and an earnest preacher of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Chiist. EEV. PATRICK GBAY. Mr. Gray began his Theological studies at Queen's College, Kingston, and completed them at Knox College, Toronto. His first charge was Nerval and associated congregations, over which ho was ordained in 1846. Afterwards he removed to Beckwith and Carloton Place, and, subse- quently to Chalmers' Church, Kingston, in 1858. His death took place on the '29th October, 187*), in the fifty-seventh year of his age. Mr. Gray was as a scholar and a preacher above the average standard. His thoughts were often striking and original, and they were always expressed in chaste and beautiful language. His sermons were carefully prepared, and delivered with great earnestness and impressiveness. He was greatly beloved by his people, and by all who had the privilege of his acquaintance. He left a widow and several children to mourn his loss. EEV. JAMES BATNE, D.D. Dr. Bayne, of Pictou, N.S., died after a brief illness on the 9th D-^cember, 1876, having al- most completed his sixty-second year. He was a native of Dunbar, >>Lotland, and entered the ministry in Nova Scotia in 1842. He was first settled at Londonderry, N.S., and in 1851 was translated to Pictou, where he laboured till the close of his ministry. His ministry was, by the blessing of God, eminently successful. While he laboured faithfully as a pastor, he was much in- terested in the work of Foreign Missions, and was for many years Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, and to the last took a great interest in the Mission cause. More than once he was called by his brethren to occupy the honourable position of Moderator of the Synod. About fifteen years ago he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Queen's University, Kingston. He was a man of sound judgment, and was held in very high respect by all who knew him. THE BE7.

He settled in St. Andrew's, preaching with great earnestness, not only there, but in many places around, till they had obtained ministers of their own. He enjoyed in a high degree tlie respect of the whole community. Since 1860 he had the assistance of tlie Rev. D. Paterson, JI.A., as a colleague and successor ; but to the end he occasionally addressed the people with no apparent falling off in riicntal, and very little in bodily power. Ho continued to the last to take a very deep interest in ever'ything connected with the welfare of the Church, and to several of the schemes of the Chiueh, and especially to the College of Montreal he left substantial tokens of his interest.

To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty : — May it pliusk Yock Ma.testy, — The Mijiisters and Elders of the General Assembly of tlus Presbyterian Church in Canada embrace the opportunity presented by their Annual Aleeting of anew expressing their attachment to Your Majesty's person and Crown. For a number of years Your Majesty was graciously pleased to intimate your satisfaction at receiving Loyal Addresses of a similar nature, from each of the four Presbyterian Churches then labouring ajiart within the different Provinces of the Dominion of Canada. The Union, however, of these several Cli'irohes was recently consummated, and is, we believe, like the Confederation of its several Provinces, every year becoming more Hrmand indissoluble. Knowing, therefore, Your Majesty's deep interest in every thing which concerns the spiritual as well as the temporal wel- CCXXXVlll.

We bliss (iod for die encouragement and support wliich Your Majesty's per lual iiifliu>nce and example hiive given throughout the whole United Empire to the advancement of those nil im- portant ends, which it is our great aim to promote, and we assure Your Majesty, that it will ever be our i)rayer iiiid endcivour, under the blessing of God, to increase in this part of Your ^[ajrsty's Dominions that pure and undeliled ri'ligion, without wliich no Government can be stable, aud no l)eople really prosixrnus or haiijiy. That Ahiiighty God may bless Your Majesty and all the M( j, bers of Your Koyal Family in nil the relations of life, and that the King of Kings may at Ic^ngth bestow ajion you a Crown tliat f, leth u ( ■ To /lis Excellency the Governor- General : — May it Please Youn Excellency, — The General Assembly of the Pnwbyterian Church in Canada, convened in its annual meeting, desire anew to tender to Your Excellency our expressions' of loyalty aud regard to you as Her Maj(!sty".s representative in this Dominion. Wlien we (irst heard of your Excellency's appoint)nent by our bi'loved Queen, to the position whicii you now hold, knowing that you had already occupied a place of imp(U-tant trust in the Home (iovernuient, aud your distinguished littirnry abilities and attainments, we were led to form high expectations of thti success which would attend Voiir Excellency's discharge of the duties of your exalted station. We now rejoice that our anticipations have been realized. Your unremit- ting watchfulness over the affairs, and concern for the prosperity of the land in wliich we dwell, your eloquent utterances both here aiul in tlu; Mother Country m behalf of its various interests ; and, may we be pcirmitted to add, your dignified yet ailable manners, have excited the admiratiou, and call for the grateful acknowledgments of all classes of Her Majesty's subjects in the Dominion of Canada.
