Fob many yonra past, tho Society has been calloU to cou- sidor the propriety of a change iu tho seosoa I'or holding its Annivereary Meetings. This question, wisely rolbrrcd lo the Local Cfoinmittees, has at length been decided. A largo inajoritv of the Lay I3ologates, at the lost Meeting of tho General Oonuuittee, resolved upon tho change. 13^ an Act of tlie LeKislature, published in tho Appendix ot tho last lleport, that decbiou has been confirmed. Wo meet to- gether now for the first time, under this new regulation, and it is hoped, that tho objections ur^ed gainst the change, may be obviated, and that all parties will work togetlier, iu giving increased efiiciency to Uie operations of tho Society. Tlie Society has good reason to be thankful for the success vouchsafed during the year closed at the last Anniversary Meeting. It was a period of creat difficulty and commercial depression, and yet, the contributions considerably exceeded those of any former year ; and it will be found, on reference to the Treasurer's Accounts, tliat there remains a large cash balance, after providing for tho last annual appropriations. Considering the short time jsince the last lleport was furnished, it was not thought desirable to call upon the Missionaries for their usual returns, shewing the duties per- formed in their several missions. The work is, meauwhile, going on, but more laborers are required. It will be seen by many of the reports that Missionaries are earnestly desired. Since our last meeting, death has taken one from our number. The Rev. C. G. Wiggins, the late devoted Mis- sionary at Greenwich and Petoraville, seeking in change of climate for restoration to health, found a j^ave in a distant land. God has thus been pleased to deprive the Church of one admirably fitted for the Missionary work. Tlie Society has also of late sustained another heavy loss, by tlie lamented death of George D. Bobinson, Esquire, for many years one of the Auditors. Ever ready to take an active part in the work and to afford assistance in the kind- est ana most judicious way, tho removal of Mr. Robinson has left a blank which cannot readily be supplied. The Society will be gratified to learn that a considerable addition has been made to its future resources, by a dona- tion from an earnest minded churchman, who desires that 2 i'HiM^'tS-' 10 his name may not be mentioned. Tins generous gift con- sists of a Policy of Insurance, No. 2,467, in the American Temperance Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., for tne sum of $1000 ; which nas been assigned to the Society, and placed in the hands of the Chairman of the Loan Committee. To provide for the appropriations required at the ^esent time, the members of tne Society have been, in most instan- ces, called upc n for a half-yearly contribution. The result will be gathered from the following abstracts from the Ee- ports of the Missionaries and Local Committecsw Ardovxb. — Rev. J. S. Hftnford f; eg« to thank the Soeietj for th« grant of books to his mission, and if similar appropriations are made at the present meeting, be wishes to be remerabered. The oolleotioc, Mr. Hanford re- grets, is not as large as that made last winter, but on the next ocoasion, h» trusts it will be equal, if not greater, than any previous one. His efforts will not be wantingto make it so. Contributions are as follows: — Aged Clergy Fund, £2; Widows' and Orphans' Fund, £1 ; General Purposes, £13 198 ; total, £16 Ids. Bathubst, Salmon Bkaoh, Niw Bahdon, &o.— Rev. C. F. Street has for- warded an interesting report, which did not reach the Secretary in time to lay before the General Committee. Mr. Street writes, that many changes have taken place during the past six months in his mission. "Some have ceased to be members of the Church militant here on earth, but he trusts their faith has been lost in sight, and their hope in joy. Since my last re- port, I have found out a few other members of the Church scattered about the country. " I visited Point Misoon and Shippegan last March; those Islands are more difficult of access, and more remote than any other portions of this mission, and more excluded from religious advantages. Point Miscou is about ninety miles from Bathurst It and Shippegan are sometimes more accessible in winter, as the ice affords a bridge. The inhabitants are generally at borne at this season. There are only a few families resident on these Islands, but when all assemble together, they form quite a con- gregation — they are most attentive to the service, and eeem rejoiced to have an occasional visit from a clergyman. As some years have elapsed since these Islands were visited by a clergyman, my services weire parti- cularly acceptable." "I have also," the Missionary adds, "visited the country below Bathurst, and most desirable it is, that Divine service should be held more frequently in Carraquet, Shippegan, <&o., than at present is possible. No change can take place in this respect, till more laborers are sent to aid luu in my work. " Every month during the winter, I extended my visits to the Flat Lands ninety miles from Bathurst, also visiting the Canada side of the llesti- gouohe." 9 Contributions are as follows: — Bathurst, £10; Dalhonsie, £1 ; Salmon Beach, £1 Is. lO^d. ; New Bandon, £1 63. 4d. ; Carraquet, £8 Ss. Id. ; Flat Lands, 6s. ; total, £16 168. 3id.« This amount would have been increased, if the Missionary had had time to visit lately the remote districts of his mission. They are ail becoming deeply interested in the progress of the Society. Mr. Street has also iaolosed resolutions passed at a meeting of the Local * Tbia amount has since been increased to £1S Is. lOd. 11 Commiltee, czpreesivA of a higli Appreoiation of the work of the Society, and of gratituue for the aid rendered to this miBaion. The Oommittee also earoestly solicit aid toward the support of another Missionary in this very ezteoaive distriot. Blackvillb and Nblson. — Rev. W. Ornden has remitted to the Tree* surer £12 Ss. 5d., as cootributions from this mieeion. This, he is happy to say, is a oousiderable increase over the amount forwarded last year. At the meeting of the Local Committee, resolutions were passed, thanking the Society for the grant of books, and requesting another appropriation, and also asking for assistance towards repairing the Church in this mission. Cahpobrlix). — Mrs. Robinson has enclosed SU it. 6d., as the oontribn- tions from this mission. Camterduby. — Rev. Thomas Hartin, on behalf of this miesion, returns thanks for the grant towards his stipend, and also for the books and the renewal of the grant towards the completion of the Church. "There is," Mr. Hartin writes, "a numerously attended Sunday School in the vicinUv where the Church is erected, quite destitute of books. I do earnestly solicit a special grant for that purpose." Contributions are £8 6s. 2id. Cablbton. — Rev. F. Coster reports £6, contributions from this Local Committee. Chatham. — Rev. S. Bacon has inclosed resolutions passed at the Annual Meeting of this Committee, expressive of their conviction of the vast im- Eortanoe of the Diocesan Church Society, which they trust will be evinced y the amount of their contributions. They also thank the Society for the grant of books. Contributions are £24 lOs. Douglas. — Rev. O. Goodridge Roberts writes — " I am happy to say, as far as I can judge, the generality of my parishioners take an increasing in* terest in the welfare of their immortal souls, and also in the Church of which they are members. " The attendance at my Church does not at all diminish, and I have bad a few additions to the number of my communicants. The repairs to tho Parish Church are almost completed, and have made a great improvement. The Tay Creek Church will, 1 hope, be ready for consecration before the end of the year." Mr. Roberts requests a grant in aid of this Church, but, unfortunately, his application did not reach the Secretary till after the adjournment of the General Commiltee. Ue reports contributions for the half year, £1S 8s. .9d., which he thinks exceedingly encouraging. Fbedebiotov. — The amount reported from this Parish, is about £87. Further cont ".butiona are anticipated. Gagetown. — Rev. i. Neales reports contributions to the amount of £14. Mr. Keales writes, that " the alteration in the time of the General Meeting, bringing tiie collections so close together, has made the work more difficult, and 1 thought it advisable to take up only a half year's subscription oa this occasion, and we have tiierefore improv«d, you see, on last year." Glenblq, NswoAsne, ^.— Rev. i. Hudson reports that the Committee of Glenelg, a thinly populated Parish, met on the lltb June, and that the unfavorable weather prevented many persona from attending on the occa- sion ; but, he adds, those who were present, expressed by a resolution unanimously adopted, that th«ir confidenee in tbe general management of the Diocesan Church Society continued unabated, and that the hard times alone prevented them from increasing their contributions for the advance- ment of its excellent objects. The Missionary also states that an endow- ment fund is now being formed for St. Andrew's Church, Newcastle, and that the oifertory received in the Church on Trinity Sunday last for this ; I 12 pnrpoBo, iiinnnnt« HopBWBi:.!.. — Rev. H. Nichols reports the sum of £4 16s. already collected for the Society, and that without doubt £10 more will be added before the close of the vear. At the annual meeting of the Local Committee a resolution was passed expressive of thankfolnees for the increased asefuluess of the Society, and the additional support it was receiving from its members. „^ At Hopewell Hill, an eligitile site has been obtained for a Church — the frame is being proceeded T^ith, and the work will be finished as toon aa means will allow. ..'-At Salmon River, also, in the Parish of Alma, a site has been promised for a Church. About £40 has been raised among the people. The Mis- sionary lately administered the Holy Communion at this place, in a smalt nnd aueorofortable school house. There are at least ten communicants in the Parish of Alma. The people earnestly ask aid of the Society to build their Church. During the last winter, the Missionary held service at Point Wolf, five miles from Salmon River. The country here he represents as being rocky and mountainous. He is always hospitably entertained by Mr. Gideon Vernon, at whose house Divine Service is held. Many come from a dis- tance to be present, and hear the word of God. Mr. Nichols intends visiting this place occasionally, though, in doing so, he has to travel twenty-five miles from his place of residence. Assistance is also needed, Mr. Nichols'writes, at Mechanics' Settlement, in the Parish of Elgin, on the road to Sussex. Mr. Benjamin Dowling has given four acres oi land in the heart of the Settlement, and with others, lias Bubiioribed towards building a Church. Some new settlers belonging to the Church have lately arrived, and all unite in asking assistance in the work they have undertaken. The distance from the Church at New Ireland, is fifteen miles, and from Hopewell, twenty-four miles. Mr. Nichols has also an appointment for Divine Service on the De- moiselle Creek road, on his return from the Mines, making occasionally a third service on the Sunday. The attendance here is good. At the Mines the attendance is not so large as formerly. During Lent, the Missionary delivered a course of lectures in the week on the distinc- tive dootrines'of the Church, which, he trusts, was productive of benefit. KiNOBOLBAR. — Rev, J. Blaok has inclosed a list of subscriptions amount- ing to £8 4s. 9d. I i 18 KraoBTON.— Itev. W. E. Seovil reports eontrihntiona to the amonnt of £22. He writes that "the list of subnoribers rather ezeeetis that of last January. There has been only one eolleetion in the Ohnreh, lo oonae* qnenoe of the ohangte in the time of making the retarns." ** It is not eon* venient," Mr Soovtl adde, " for me to attend the meetings of the Society this week, as they interfere with my monthly appointments for holding Divine Service at out stations." LANCASTsn — H. Oarhutt, Etqnire, writes that the amount of contribn* iions from this mission is £19. which proves, he says, that the good feeling to onr Church is yet strong with us. "The want of a clergyman,** Mr. Oarhutt oontinnes, " is very much felt here, not having had one here since Easter last. I hope we may soon have one, as the love of many is waxing «old. My brother warden, Mr. Carman, has been unwell for some time, but the Church here has been opened every available opportunity, the prayers read, and occasionally a printed sermon.** Mavgervillk and BumoN. — Rev. A. V. O. Wiggins, D. D., has enclosed reliirns as follows: — Maugerville, £9 17s. 6d. ; Burton, £10 10s, S^d.; total, £20 8s. 2^h which exceed the contributions of last year. Moncton. — Rev. W. N. Boyer has remitted £7 lOs. to the Treasurer. Norton. — Rev. E. A. Warneford reports £19 9s. lOd., for the General Purposes of the Society. Prince Wiluah, Dumfrirs, Maodndt, Ac. — Rev. Philip Wood Loose- more reporte the sum of £24 for the General Purposes of the Society. PoBTLAND. — Rev. W. Harrlsou reports £44 10s., as the oontributions from this Parish, and regrets that he cannot be present at the meeting of the Society. Portland, St. Paul's. — Rev. Charles Lee has eoeloeed returns, shewing the atnount contributed to be £51 8s. 3d. QoBENBBiniT. — Rev. W. H. Tippett « rir.es that he has not quite finished his collections, which will amonnt to £8 or £9.* Mr. Tippett finds much hindrance in his work, from the few membere of the Church living at a distance from each other. " My whole flock," he writes, "if assembled in one spot, would only form a very moderate congregation, according to city estimate, hut their circumstances render this impossible, and I can only gather them tog,>tber in atnall groups, at many points. Unfortunately, I find another drawback arising from the spiritual slumber in which too many are contented to live : this shews itself in irregular attendance at the stated public worship; in habitual absence from the Lord's table ; in itmall and irregularly paid contributions to Church funds, and in a general want of hearty co-op«ration with their more earnest brethren. "Mrs. Tippett has regularly managed a little Sunday School at the Parsonage during nine years, and I have been able to entechise the ehiU dren frequently at the Sunday service, held at a school house near at hand, during the last year." While in England, Mr. Tippett received a set of Church books for his new Church, from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and also (chiefly among his friends) he collected sufficient money to complete the work. RioHiBUOTo. — Rev. N. A. Coster reports the amount of the half-yearly collection in Church to be £2 128. He writes that " in speaking to the |)rineip«l eubscribers, it was determined to defer calling for subscriptions to the Society till Christmas, as all the collections for other Church pur- poses were made at the present season." Saokvuli: and Dorchkstbb. — Rev. T. N. DeWoIfe reports contributions from Sackviile £7 13f. 2}d., and from Dorchester £7 Us. U^i., total £16 58. 2il. * The subscription list since forwarded.

Slrpct, Ernnir«, Seorstary of tliis Looul Com- mittee, report! £35 Ifie. for the Oenerai ParpotcB of tiie Society, A muoli larfier tarn would have been contributed but for the present deprcHion in ail kinds of busineia, caused hjr tiie temporary susiMoaion of the worka oonneoted with the Saint Andrews and Quebec Railway. It is also to be noticed, that the parishionera are now, for the first time, called upon to make up a great portion of the Rector's stipend, and are at the same time engaged in building a new church and parsonage. At the meeting of the Local Oommittoe held on the 9tih of June, the at* tendance was very large, and the proceedings were of unusual interest. Most impressive addresses were delivered by the Rev. H. Pollard of Saint Stephen, on the subject of our own missions, and by the Rev. William S. Chad well of Eastport, Maine, on missions to the heathen. Resolutions were passed expressive of a determination, both as • duty and « privilege, to further the objects of the Society, and of deep interest in tbe efforts now being made both in Oreat Britain and America for the spread of the Gospel In those countries where of late a door has been ape- «iAlly opened, which, in the opinion of the meeting, should at least form an ohjeot of the prayers of all who seek for the extension of the Redeemer's kingdom on the earth. Satnt Datid and Saint Patbiok. — Rev. J. S. Thomson reports a contri- bution of £5 from bis people, and hopes to get an additional amount. Saint Oiorgc and PsNMncLr.— R«t. J. M'Givern reporta contributions from Saint George, £9 Os. 71d., and from Pennfiald, £1 Is. lO^d. ; total, £10 2b. 6d. Ha incloses a resolution passed at the meeting of the Local Committee, asking for a grant of books. The amount received for the So- ciety, Mr. M'Givern writes, is quite as much as he could have expected under all the circumstances. Saint John, Saint Masks. — 0. H. Fairweather, Esquire, Secretary of Ihia Cumraittee, reports contributions to the amount of £97 ISs. lOd, " I have merely to remark," Mr. Fairweather writes, " that the amount is slightly less titan that forwarded last winter, which is in consequence of the sub- ficriptiona having been called for within so short a period : part of the subscribers having given half their usual contributions. I have, however, «very confidence that on the recurrence of another annual subscription, the amount will fully reach or exceed that of any former year. Our pre- «ent Hat exhibits the pleasing feature of having quite a number of new -eubscribers, who have cheei'fully met the call made upon them for their Assistance in carrying oa th« work of tb« Diocesan Church Society." Saint Jobn, TiuNrrr.— A. W. Savary, Esquire, Secretary of this Local Committee, has inclosed returns as follows: — Widows and Orphans' Fund, £6; General Purposes, £230 6s. £d.; total, £285 5s. 6d. "When," Mr. Savary writes, *' we recollect that only half a year has «iapsed aince the parties were called on tor a year'a subscription, and that only one collection in Trinity Church is included, and bear in mind the continued scarcity of mon«y, aod commercial depression, we do not see any ground fur apprehending a diminution of iulerest in the cause. On the contrary we have much reason for encouragefloent in the cheerfulness and alacrity with which the subecriptions have been given." St. John, St. Jame&^-H. W. Frith writes, that the contributions from this Parish will not fall short of £1S, and may exceed that sum. St. Maby's.— Rev. W. Jaffrey reporta £5 148. Sd., contributions from this mission. St. Stephen. — Rev. Skeffington Thomson, L. L.D., regrets that the ap- proaching visitation in Frederioton will prevent his being present at the meeting of the Society. He will, however, be present in spirit, and fer- vently pray that the Great Head of the Church will direct all its measures to His glory, and give increased succeaa to the Society. J J 15 ^ ••The Lociil OommitUe of ^^t. Stephen met," Dr. ThoniBon vrite*. '• at tlie time of the meeting of tiie Deanery at St. Stephens. The addrei but, being one of four Ohurchea, widely separated, their wish cannot be complied with." The contributions, including a collection la Choroh of £2 10s., will be about £22, for the General Purposes of the Society. Uphau.— Re\r. W. H. DeVeber reports £25, contributions from thia Parish, and hopes for an increased amount before the list ia completed. Woodstock. — Rev. S. D. Lee Street has inclosed oontribotions to the amount of £7 14s. 8d., and a resolution passed at a late meeting of the Local Committee, expressive of regret that the unprecedented scarcity of money prevented additional subscriptions. The Committee pledge itself to renewed exertions^ in order that such an amount may be obtained pre- vious to the next Annual Meeting, as may, io some degree, compensate for the present deficiency. Daniel Soovil, Esquire, has forwarded to the Treasurer the sum of £10, by which be wishes to ooustiluto Miss Amy Seovili of Springfield, a Life Member of the Society. 1 iji : 4 M 16 From the foregoing rotums, it appears tliat the ibllowing sums have been contributed to the various objects of the Society for the half year ending at the present time, viz. : — Aged 'Clergy Fund, £2 ; Widows' and Orphans' Fund, £G ; General Purposes, £1007 2s. 4d., total, £1015 2s. 4d. The returns from several Local Committees have not yet been received. From many quarters, it will be observed, that a very large amount has been contributed. This is especially the case with reference to the parishes in Saint John and Port- land. From several others, a large proportion of their annual ofterings has been forwarded, and from many, the Society might reasonably have expected more. The present is a time when the Church seems specially colled to that Missionary work for which it was instituted. Never, since the first preaching of the Apostles, did there seem a wider field for its extension, than that so remarkably opened up by the extraordinary events of thd few past years. The unbeliever alone can fail to see the finger of God in making a way for the soldiers ofthe Cross to the heathen millions of China, Japan, Africa, and Ind\a. This is a sub- ject which might well be brought before all the membei's of the Society at the Annual Meetings of the several Local Committees. Great benefit would result with increased interest and energy, were the Missionary work of the Church in Great Britain and America, and especially the vast efforts being made at the present time, more generally brought under the notice of the members of the Church. Pressing wants nearer home may hinder us now from contributing to send forth Missionaries to the heathen ; but this subject, duly considered, will hasten the time when at least the spiritual destitution in this Diocese shall be sup- plied without those means which would otherwise be devoted to teach those " afar off" — who know not God— the way of salvation. 17 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE.

APPENDIX. T DIOCESAN CHURCH SOCIETY OF NEW BRUNSWICK. The Anniversary Meeting of the Diocesan Chnrch Society was held at Fredericton. on Thursday the 1th. July, 1859. His Excel- lency Sir H. T. Mi.nners Sutton, Governor of the Province, in the Chair. Prayers were offered as usual, and a hymn was sung, when his Excellency addressed the meeting as follows : la opening the proceedings of this meeting, I am very well aware that it would be wholly unneoesaary, and worse than useless, for me to occupy your time in attempting to advocate the claims of the Church Society to your support, and that of every member of the Church of England in this Province. I know that these claims are generally understood and recog- nized. But I may perhaps say for myself, that having been near five years a member of this Society, a close observer of its proceedings, and the effects which it hat produced throughout the Province, every succeeding year has caused, in my mind, an increasing appreciation of its value. Not only because it affords the channel and the means by which a very large and increasing portion of those pecuniary means, upon which the Church of England here has mainly to depend, flows, but also, because it is the link (a strong link, a close link) of union between the clergy and the laity: a link of union which, humanly speaking, affords the only prospect of peace within the church, and which (in my opinion at least) is the strongest power within the natural reach of man for the preservation of religion. These then are the reasons, and I have stated them shortly, not because I wir!) to put myself forward as the advocate of a society whose claims to your support are known and acknowledged, but I have thought it right on this occasion, after five years experience, to pay my tribute of gratitude to the society. It is not within t'.ie scope of my functions on this occasion, nor would it be consistent with my duty in opening the proceedings of this meeting, to forestall the Secretary in the Report which he is about to read to you, but there is one single point upon which, without entering into particulars, I may be allowed to offer some observations. This is by anticipation, rather than retrospect, the anniversary meeting of the So- ciety. Sis months only have elapsed since another anniversary meeting took place. It might naturally be supposed that the shortness of the period which had elapsed since the last collection would have had a very detrimental effect on the amount of the contributions. And without men- tioning the sum which has been collected, I have every satisfaction in be- lieving that it far exceeds one half of that which is annually offered. This is satisfactory in a pecuniary point of view, because it puts the Society in a position in which it may be more useful than it would have been if the contributions had been diminished, but the chief satisfaction which I feel is formed on a very different ground. It may be accepted as a proof that the feelings of the members of the Church of England throughout the Province, in favor of the Society, are not feelings which having been excit- ed at the commencement of one year, necessarily lie dormant until the beginning of the' next year: it shews that this society has struck its roots deeply into the hearts of the members of the church; that it has earned their gratitude, and they give it their confidence. Well then, I may believe, if I ma3' so far anticipate, that the Report which you will hear will tell you, that at no previous part of its history was the Diocesan Church Society in sc good a position as it is at the present moment. This IS a subject for d«ep congralulutiuu. But there is one point upoi) whioh 64 I wirii to offer a rcronrk before I close. It appeare now that although t)ie funds of the Church Society have been for many years increasing : and I believe they were never in so good a position previously to last year, aa they were last year, and I believe that you will hear now that they are in a bett«r position than they were at the onnitnencement of the present year ; yet at this moinect, I regret to say, there are more missions unsupplicti), inore churches vacant, and greater difficulty in filling them than has been the case in former years. It is not a want of funds: if it were the mem- bers would supply them, but it arises from a very different cause, a cause which, in my opinion, deserves the attention and immediate care of every member of the church in the Province : a paucity of clergymen. The Rev. W. Q. Eetohum, Secretary of the Society, then read the Report. The Lord Bishop of Frederioton then moved*:— SeMlved, That the Bcport be received and printed under the direction of the Ezscutlve Oommittee. Dr. Robb, in seconding the resolution, observed, that he felt it an honor to do so, inasmuch as this report was the formal summary of the evidence whereon churchmen in New Brunswick were moved and called upon to •ustain the cause of the Diocesan Ohurch Society. That evidence was satisfactory: the methods adopted to secure a succession of clergymen in the country had been well and wisely planned, and, no doubt, in due time every member of the church in the province would be a member of the Diocesan Church Society. The missionaries continued to report a grow- ing interest in the cause of the church, a gradual extension of the means of grace in the way of the «hureh, and increased offerings to its treasury. To common men the last appeared to be the best test of the goodness of the cause, and the proof that a blessing was with it. The cause was the cause of all who beli«ved ifaat they bad immortal souls, and that in the Church of England there was a safe and sound guidance through the perils of the world to the p«ace of the realms beyond the grave. Hence the cause becomes a sacred one, and demands, on the part of the members of the church, their most earnest efforts. It was a duty incumbent upon all, and ought to be to all, more or less, a business. On the part of the old, there was required their highest wisdom; on the part of the middle aged, (here was required their best en«rgies; on the part of the young, their watchful attention and most ardent sympathies. Without this gradual training of the young to the business of the society, the society itself would fail. On referriogto the Report of 1839, about the date of his first at- tendance on the meetings of the Church Society, he found there were of the clergy then present only two present here to-night, and of the lay delegates hardly even as many. The form of the Society indeed remained, but the active agents therein were gradually replaced, and so the work proceeded, and so only oould it proceed. In support of the assertion that a blessing attended the«aus«, he observed that twenty years ago, that is, in the year above mentioned, the subscriptions amounted to about £400, while this year, the income of the society would not be less than £2,000. The foundations of the society had been at length broadly and deeply laid in tiie hearts of the members of the church, and judging from all the evi- dence just submitted to them, there was every reason to believe that for the next twenty years the rate of increase of the society's funds would be very much greater then even during the last. lie repeated again that he felt himself greatly honored by being allowed to second the resolution so eloquently proposed by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. A. W. Savary, Esquire, in moving the second Resolution, viz. : Tliat the saccesB vouchsafed to the Soelctjr at this Its first anniversary meeting, under the late change in its Constitution, encourages the hope that, by the blessing uf Uod, its ephere of usefulness may thereby l>e increased. After humourously alluding to the emotions which he, although a lawyer, * The Secretary of the Society has much reason to regret, that he failed In his endea- vours to obtain a report of his Lordship's most impressive and valuable address. *' 55 »f experienoeii on risiDg in th« matropolitan oity to addreas a meeting of flie Diooetan Gharoh Society of New Brnnswiok fur the first time, said, tliak wliile lie was alifa to the responsibility, he trusted he was not iodifTereut to the privilege of being perniiUed to take an humble part in the prooei'd* inga of such an occasion, proceedings tlie immediate object of which is (he extension of scriptural knowledge, the diffusion of the Qospel, and that through the purest and holiest of all earthly channels — our evangelicul and apostollo church. Moreover it is my pleasing dnt^ to address you to-night in the language of congratulation, fur I ri»e to move the resolntiod which haa just been read. I have the more pleasure il doing so beRauae the change referred to was always strenuously advocated by the rector of the parish (Dr. Oray) which I have the honor to represent; and whose absence from the meetings at this anniversary, with the valuable counsel and assiitauoe which he always rendered, is, I am sure, a matter of general rt'gret, as also the indisposition of bodily health by which that absence is uutiasioned. The best evidence of success to which I can refer is, of course, to be 'of^nd in the valuable and interesting report just read by the Secretary. li 1 report however has already formed the subject of a distinct resolution, ■■ :> it is my duty rather to trace the connection between the success to %vbich it points, and the recent change in our Constitution, than to eoler at large upon the various gratifying topics it embraces. Your Excellency expressed a belief that it would appear by the report that the subscriptions just taken up exceeded considerably half the amount of the annual col* lections made only six months ago. In reality they reach two thirds of that amount. And as we may fairly assume that those parishes not yet heard from will remit as large a proportion on their last annual subscrip- tion as the others have on theirs, I think the total contributions for the half year may be set down at very nearly £1100. This I think to be a most gratifying and convincing proof of a growing interest in the cause, and that the change in the constitution of ihe society is likely tu be pro- ductive of great good. Could we reasonably estimate this contributiun as strictly equivalent to a half yearly one — anticipating that at the annual oullection twelve months hence the amount would be double, we might louk forward to a revenue next year of over £2000. This, I am well aware, is too much to expect; but we will only require an advance of fifty per cent, to make the amount equal to that of the annual subscription six months ago; and considering bow many have not been called upon, owing lo the short period ^hat elapsed between the two collections, and how many for the same reason have really given but half a subscription, and the fact that these returns only include the results of one collection in the respective churches, a rough estimate has convinced me that we may reasonably anticipate next year a far greater increase than fifty per cent, on the amount of these contributions. This amount therefore decidedly strengthens my conviction that the summer season, when the operations of our commerce are no longer impeded by the closing of navigation, when triie industry of our people becomes productive, and money is more freely circulated in the community, will be found a much more convenient time than any other for bringing the claims of the society before the public. Objections may be easily answered. In any exceptional cases, the colleo* tions may still be made at periods the best adapted to success, under the circumstances of the particular locality. But I must not forget what has been so well brought to our minds : our object is not simply tbe acquisition of funds; we do not propose to stop there ; these are but means to an end, and that end must not be overlooked. We desire to strengthen and consolidate the Church of England in the hearts and affections of our people forever, and through its instrumentality to secure that most important of all ends, the salvation of souls. The teal and fidelity of the missionaries it employs are the more immediate and efficient means for these purposes under the blessing of Ood. The usual statistics of their Ubors oould not b« embraced io this re|?ort ; and there- 66 I b« t(K m' y« in til 01 C t( «« fli (I li fore I oannot refer yon to details ; but I am enre that the Society has the fulleat eonfidenoe that what we know them to have done in the past, they will have graoe to continue in the future, and that success will abundaatly crown their labors, under the blessing of God. Perhaps I ought to advert to the fact that the attendance at these meetiufrs has not been as large as usual. This is no proof that the change in the Constitution has not worked benefioially. Many of the clergy have been prevented from attending, owing to the near approach of the triennial visitation, and the inconveuience of leaving their parishes twice in so short ft time; and many, both of the elergy and laity, doubtless considered these meetings as of much less importance than formerly, embracing only the business and appropriations of a half year, and that half year not to com- mence till the first of January next. Indeed, for this reason, we had no right to expect even half tha usual attendance, and hence the number of those who have attendea may be regarded as another proof of increasing interest in the cause. But before I conclude, I will, with your Excellency's permission observe, that notwithstanding all we have yet aeeompliahed, and the gratifying attachment of the members of our church generally throughout the diocese to this institution, much yet remains to be done, and a still livelier seal ought yet to be awakened in its behalf. Few of us who have had anything to do with collecting its funds will deny that there are many who profess to recognize its claims, but do not follow up their professions by practical results; and there are many who meet our appeals for aid with cavils and excuses. One maa will object that he has, " a family to support^" feeling apparently but little of the solemn responsibility of Christians to provide for the religious as well aa physical necessities of (heir ofifspring; to endeavour to leave behind them not solely an inherit- ance of earthly possessions, but those choicest of all blessings, only to be enjoyed by future generations through the iustrumentaUly of a pure church established in the land. I have spoken of future generations: would that I had lime to enter at large into the claims of such a society as this, in connexion with the future history of this country ; its benefits not only in a religious, but in a philanthropic and patriotic point of view. Some allege that there are too many calls upon their charity ; but I would like to know what call of charity churchmen ought to prefer tc that which is addressed to them on behalf of the extension and endowment of their church, and of the various pious and holy objects which this society em- braces. I oannot but believe that when the missionary work of the so- ciety is brought more prominently forward by the different local com- mittees at public meetings, its claims to support will be far more cheerfully and universally responded to by the people. But as I understand this is to be the subject of another resolution, I will forbear further allusion to it, particularly as the advocacy of that resolution will engage the eloquence of the honourable Provincial Secretary, by whom uo doubt the subject will be brought fully before us. I will only observe, that as these meetings would probably be held shortly before the general anniversary galheriugs, they will occur under the change in the constitution, at the time when appeals on behalf of other kindred institutions are not generally made, and thus secure the more undivided attentioa and more liberal contribu- tions of the public. la conclusion, would that all of us might feel yet more and more im- pressed with our duty to aid with our means the holy objects we have assembled to promote. Oh I in view of the blessing which God will vouchsafe to the feeblest efforts properly made in His cause, how great is the error of those who withhold their contributions because they cannot afford sufficient to perform any notable good I The operations of grace. Mad the dispensations of Providence in His dealings with the church, are analogous to what we constantly observe in the natural world around us. The little rivulet that tracks its silent and unobtrusive way, euaroely perceptible amid the obscurity of the fotnl, and inaudible among the vo ov til >o in at the Society has the uooe 111 the past, tliev looess will abundantly attendance at these )roof that the ohanee ny of the clergy have )roach of the triennial shea twice in so short tJess considered these embracing only the lalf year not to com- 8 reason, we had no lenoe the number of proof of inoreaeing 8 permission observe and the gratifying ily throughout the ae, andastillliTelier >f us who have had hat there are many up their professions our appeals for aid le lias, " a family to nn responsibility of ysioai necessities of ot solely an inherit- Jlessings, only to bo lentalily of a pure future generations: ns of suoh a society untry; its benefits •iotio point of view, •arity; but I would prefer tc that which mdowtient of their oh Ibis society em- ry work of the so- ifferent looal com. far more cheerfully understand this is further allusion to gage the eloquence doubt the subject t as these meetings ersary gatheriags, at the time when t generally made, > liberal contribu- 're and more im- ' objects we have which God will luse, how great is Jause they cannot erations of grace, li the church, are world around us.

That river rolls on with a deeper and stronger current till it poura iis tide into the miiihty ocean that encircles the globe. And so the smallest contributions, flowing from the bounty of the humblest individual Ciiristiaa into the channel of societies like these augment their influence and increase their efiioiency : these again become tributaries and supplements to those grander iostitutioDS of christian benevolence and missionary enterprise which are the chief pride and ornament of our mother country, and embrace every region of the earth in the sphere of their operations, until all shall finally blend their aublime results in that "sea of glory" which shall "spread from pole to pole" when the glorious predictions of inspiration shall be accomplished, and " the earth shall be full oi the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waiters cover the sea." The Rev. S. D. Lee Street, in seconding the Reablution' said :— I am ra- ther unwillingly placed in the position which I occupy this evening, but while advocating here as elsewhere the claims of the aooiety, there are first one or two remarks which I: shall make with reference to the change of time for holding the anniversary meeting. It baa been urged as a great objection to this change, that during tha winter season, when the memberv of the Legislature were prebent,- there would be a greater facility aflforded to obtain lay delegatea to represent the various Tocai committees: but, 1 trust, thait the meeting this year has fully proved that that objeetiun is groundless. Though, indeed, the meeting has .not been as large ac ou former oeeaitioDB, there are two ressons for that. It is but • short time since we were tiallsd together on an ocoasion similM to' the present, and the elergy (and some of the laity, also, we hope)* are shortly t6 assemble again at the oall of the Lord Bishop for a triennial visitatiod. It would be inconvenient for the elergy to leave their parishes destitute on two occasions within so short a period oC each other. l!here has been much eaid relative to the amount of the contributions, and what has been said has tfsHed my attertion' to the wholis proceedings of the society from its commeneeittent. If we ti^aoe i{ progress from year to year, and observe the increase not only of its means but of its usefulness, we cannot but be well convinced that God's blessing has attended it thirodghont, and this may be regarded as a sufficient guarantee of what may be acooniplished by the ooatinued and united exertions of churchnieh df this Province. Much more ihight be effected by' the iucreased zeal and liberality of each. When we take up the report of the society, and vieW' the whole amount of annual (ibntHbutioos, taken as a whole, they shew a steady increase upon foroier years, and appear large ad^ satisfactory^ But when we vie# the subscriptions of individuals, we might almosC ta'ke shame to ourselves at the smallness of them, with indeed the exc«>ptiba of a few gfenerouS gifts. I trust that now, when we have sucb increasing^ calls on the funds of our sociiety, we shall become generally more alive to tlie necessity of increasing our contributions, to put the society in a position so that it may perform the work which is so urgent, ond accomplish more than it hcs hitherto done. It baa been remarked here this evening, by more than one speaker, that the great diffiisulty now to be met is a want of clergymen, but my opiiiion is that if .there were sufficient means, it would not be long before men would be fodnd ready to supply that want. If we have not men in thi» country, we may go to that Mother Country, whence we have received so much, through whose pecuniary aid tlie church here has been so long nourished, and tnrougb whose bonafy also we have beeii supplied with men who are amoBg the most zealotis and energetic missionaries of the diooesto.' I fully trukt, therefore, that if means wei^ie put into his Lordship's bandit he would be enabled to obtain a fuftbet supply to meet the present vacancies. To urge members of the church to larger contribu- tions, I might here speak of the good done hy the society; the missions sustained if not planted ; the ohur'^hes built; the parsonages erected ;^the books sent forth itr their oourse of deep and silent instrtfotion upoof thv 9 58 Erinoiplei of the ohuroli. We may be thankfol to Almighty Ood fur the enefita which have already nrieen ; but when we look upon the vast uoantry before ua, and thinfc of what yet remains to be done, when we see the eztensiTe settlemeotB aoattered throughout the country, with no holy mau to administer to them, no one to baptize and teach their children, well may we aay this is a double cause for greater exertions on behalf of this society. I may here particularly instance the country up the river St. John, between Woodstock and the Oanada line, with extensive settle* ments on both sides of the river, yet throughout this wide domain there is bat one solitary missionary, who with all the energy that man can give, is far from being able to supply even a small portion of that destitute part of the country. And this is but one of the many places all calling loudly for help: many of them the longer help is withheld, will be the more widely estranged from the church. In view of these things, we should all remember what our blessed Lord said to his disciples when they applied to Bim for aid in behalf of the famishing multitudes in the wilder- ness. What He said to them. He now says to us who have enjoyed for so long a time the blessings and privileges of the Church, " Give ye them to eat." May we- then, go hand in hand with united zeal in the good cause ! 1 hope to see the day, when members from all parts of the country will not regard it as • great sacrifice of time^ money, or anything else, to be present on these oecastons; and being brought from every part of the Frovioce, there would grow up greater unanimity of feeling and action, •ad a close and extended sympathy for each others wants and necessiiies. And as to the amount of their contributions, if men would but sacrifice one half of what they give to their luxuries, there would be no deficiency of means for the good work of the church. The Hon. S. L. Tilley proposed the third Resolution, viz :— That whereas the Mlationary work of the Ohorch is of snch vast Interest and importanoe, the Society would reoommend, that this sutileot be brought more generally before its members at the annual meetings of the local committees, both with regard to the spiritual destitution of this Diocese, and also with reference to miaslons to heathen countries. H'j said, — ^This resolution recognises the importance of the missionary work of the church, and recommends that the subject be brought pro- minently before the members of the society at the local general meetings ; not only as regards the missionary work of this Diocese, but also as re- lates to heatbea countries.. I may be permitted for a few moments, before entering directly upon the consideration of the resolution, to offer some observations relative to the changes which have recently been made ia the constitution of the society; one of which haa been referred to by the gentleman who moved the last resolntion. I have invariably opposed the proposition to chaoga the time for holding the general or anniversary meeting of the Society from a winter to a summer month. I did so because I feared, if the cbanffc was made, the attendance of the lay delegates from the various parishes wonld not be as numerous as heretofore, and the interest in the anniversary meeting wonld be somewhat diminished. The attendance this evening has in a great meaaure dispelled my fears on the latter point, and I sincerely hope that it may prove that my anticipations aa regards the former were grouadlesfe. The other change to which I refer, !» the one by which the ordinary business of the society was transferred from the anniversary meeting to that of clerical and lay delegates, and the proceedings of the anniversary meeting confined to what has been termed platform speaking. This change has been highly beneficial. In former yeara^ Tour Excellency, and before you came to this country, the proceedings at our anniversary gatherings were necessarily, to a certain extent, uninteresting to i\ largo number of those who attended them; but few felt interested in the dis> eussions upon proposed amendments to our constitution, or the considern- tioB of the propriety cf a certain investmeht of our funds. The iotro- &9 h \ duotlon of exinling proTisioiis afford u» an opportanity, on these oooasiooe, of epeakiug of tli« position and wants of our ehurob, and bow tbey are to be supplied ; to I'limin'l b other of the pri? ileges we enjoy, and the ueoessity that exik' est representation of these faoifl would produce the desired e£fect. I will mention a circumstance by way of illuelrating what might be done weie proper oiesns taken. When a resident in the parish of Portland, I was connected with the Sabbath School, and we were in the habit of distributing a Sunday School paper. One «f these contained an appeal in behalf of a churoh end school in one of the Western States. This was read by the children, and it resulted in several of the suholurs, the children of poor parents, bringing me sabbath after sabbath, the small sums received by them during the week, with a request that I would forward it to the proper party, in aid of the church .nd school referred to. More than a year after I left the parish, my successor informed me that these children still continued their contributions. If then. Your Kxcellency, such an appeal, presented to children ia be- half of a poor congregation in the neighbouring republic, produced such results, surely a similar appeal made general, and in behalf of the des- titute in our own Diocese, would be cheerfully met by both children and parents. Such meetings should also be made available for supplying the other deficiency referred to, namely, clergymen. Parentsehould be urged to give their sous such an education as will enable them satifaotorily to discharge their duties, should they feel a desire to labour in their Master's service, and these sons so educated, and the sons of churchmen generally, who feel an interest in the spiritual welfare of others, should be induced from the necessities of the case, as well as from a sense of duty, to devote themselves to the missionary work. In this way, our necesiitiea may be met. After leaving the meeting last evening, I was depreesed with the melancholy reflection, that from the lack of clergymen and the means to pay them, many members of our church must, for a time at least, be deprived of the Gospel privileges which they had recently enjoyed, nnd others of them continue far removed, as they have been for years, from these blessings. When at the College to-day, to hear the oration delivered by the Prin- 00 elp»I, I eould not bui Iiop« that ■nme of th« ntudents there preaent might devote themeelyei to the work of the ministry, and that fund* would be forlhooming, suffioieol to euitftin them in the mieaioD* now unhappily vaeant. It haa been asserted, that If the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel were at some distant day to withdraw their t(rant, that the aum no withdrawn oould not be provided in New Bruoswiok. 1 am prepared to admit that we might have some difficulty In providing for such an emergency, but I deny thai the ohorohmen of New Brunswick are not able to meet the difficulty should it arrive, fo prove this, I will sopposs n case ; and that is, that to-morrow, the price of flour should ad vanes, oay 88. 9d. p^r barrel, and auoh advance above the amount we will require to pay. should ooutinue for one year, would such an advance, even in this necessary of life, materially embarrass any member' of our church. I think hot. 'Stilt the additional ezpendiiure to which the members of our church would be subjected duriffg the year, would be not only equal to the sum received frotn the Society for the Propagation of the Ouspel and the contributions to the Ohureh Society, but would also be sufficient to provide eight or ten additional missionaries for the Province. ' I concur with your Excellency and his Lordship, that the increased and increasing interest manifested in the society, as exhibited by an increase of contributions, is a subject of gratulation and thankfulness; but the question that We should 'ask ourselves on such an occasion is this, have we done all that we ought to have done; and might have done. I must confess for my own part, that thia re;0eotion which i have given this subject, has convinced me at leaM'that I have not done all my duty in the matter. And when it is considered th'at the contributions of last year to the funds of the society, and they were larger than has been collected for any previons year, amonnt'to but 7}d. for eaeh member of the church in the diocese, 1 think this meeting will concur with tiie in the opinion, that our efforts have not been as great as the means at our disposal would warrrant. It is satisfactory to find that whereyer missionary meetings have been held in the Province, there an increased interest is' manifested in this bo< oiety: it is emphatically a missionary aociefy, and were an effort now made in this Province] to obtain funds to'support missionaries in the new fields now opening, for instance, in China, India and ^apan, so far from such collections dioAinisliing the amount that 'would otherwise be sub- scribed to this Soinety, I mslieve it would have a tendency to increase them. The inan who wotild' feel the necessity for contributing for llie conversion of the heathen, would feel still more the necessity fur provid- ing for the destitute at home. We want 'more zeal, more love, ana more self denial. These graces will be strengthened' by meetings such as these. We have been so long aided by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel that we have not felt the necessity for aiding this society. I can recollect whdn in some ofour most wealthy parisbea tl^e members of tlie church paid nothing towards the support of the missionaries, and when called upon for fs. 6d. or 10s. a year for pew rent, and this to keep the church in repair,' it was oonsidered'a heavy tax. We are now, however, being better educated, and what we pay for we are the more likely to appreciate, and what we consider worth having, we will, if actuated by a christian spirit, desire that others should also possess. Some five and twenty years since I read a verise or two, expressive of a churchman's love for and ' devotiob to' the church. I have not since forgotten them. The language is perhaps atrong, but I could wish we pould all make it our own. I will close my remarks by repeating them : Then say, shall the Church, which ffnr forefathers buIU, 'Which the tempests of ages have battered in vain ; Abandoned by some from supineneas or guilt, O ! lay shall it fall by the vile and profane. No I perish the impious hand that would take. One shred from its altar, one stone from its towers ; The life's blood of martyrs has flown for its salce, And its fall, if it fall, shall be reddened with ours. 61 i) Tli« lUf. P. W.

The Hon. the Provincial Secretary haa to ably and to eloquently eet before you theclaimt of the reiolulioa upon ut, that it leemt uiiueoet- tary for me to detain yoa with any prolonged obtervationt, but I eannol content myaelf willi merely fontaliy teconding the resolution, nor tit down without saying a few worda, to intipreie etill further on the meeting the importance of the subject which the resolution eonveya. It speaks of the «leatitule places of this Diocese, and as in timee of old, Joshua and Caleb sent forth spies into the promised land, so now, in some such character aa this, we go forth to the different and f|>*tant outlying districts, the back settlements and outposts of our extensive missions, and we come h^re thia night, as it were, to head quarters, and repeat in the very same worde, " there yet remalneth very mueh land to be posseised." There are fields to be cultivated, and fields "white already to the harvest," if we can only send forth laborers to put in the siojcle,; there are enemies to be dispos- aeased, and the rightful possessors of the soil to be implanted in their stead. It haa been said tonight we have means aufluient. We have meauL^ufii- cient for preient purpotet, but we require aooumu'ated and accumulating means for t'ae luture maintenance' and 4U(iport of the church in thia diocese, if it ia to be maintaineid, as at prMent, in its integrity and effi* uienoy. With reference to the support whi«|i each member of the church should give to the great cause pf the sociel£y,'i was glad to hear from the Hon. the Provincial Secretary that such support should and might be very readily and properly increased, and Hoping not ai«ll to damage hie remarks, but impress them more dee|i}y upon you, I would call your at> teotion to the first part of the resolution, which speaks of the spiritual destitution of this Diocese. We have been ephorted, /*/reely ye have re- ceived, freely give;" we have been told times witho^Mt number, " he that sowetb little shall reap little;. and he that soweth plentecusly shall reap pleuteously. Let every man do accord! nj; as jie,U disposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of neceaaity ; for Xarod ,Ipjreth ft eheerful giver." What ia it to give freely, cheerfully, and not grudginglyj Every one has his own ideas about it, and the result of these the fton. (he Proviusial Secre- tary has ably set forth to-niglii. That Book which alone gi,vut we allude to the standard of almsgiving. JSovr, the Ceremonial |waw, we say, has been abrogated or abolished, but the Moral Law stands firm iTor ever, and if one precept of that Moral Law be binding, ao are all. J. read, "Thou shalt truly tithe the increase of thy seed, that which thy fiefd bringeth forth to thee year by year;" and again, "the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord ;" and again, St. Paul writing to the Hebrew ChtistiaDS, says, "Even the patriarch Abraham gave to Melohicedee, the prieat of the most HighOod, tithes of all." He gave the tenth of the spoils. And we maintain, that it is the terUh of our annual expenditure which the word of Ood requirea us to devote to His cause and the cause of His church. It is not'ior us to decide whether any one, some, or all of the churchmen of this Diooe|ie will be content to pay tithes, but this we are bound to do, to set up the standard, and to say, this is the work at which yon are to aim ; and whether it be for the general purposes of the Diocesan Church Society, or for the endowment of the church, or for any other church object, or I for ftl), tli« M/A« or tenth of our •nnnal «>xp«nditar« m iha portion with triiioli w« ftre aike'l lo '* honor tlic Lord."

Wo know thars is a vast niiskionarv movttnent in tli« ohurch, throughout the IsDgth and broadth of the land, answaring to that mighty ory of the whole ampire of heothandoiD, " Come over auu help us." There are open- ings in China and Japan; openings iu India ; openings in Southern Africa, sooh as have been wholly unparalleled ainaa the Ooipel was first preached. It is impossible for me to give you anything like an adequate idea, within the limits of a aiogle speech, of this vast missionary movement in the ohuroh, but I must point yoa to one portion of the great whole. We r^fer ou to the chief Missionary College of the Church of England, the Col- ege of St Augustine's, of .Canterbury, founded in 1848, among whose mieeionaries, may it please your Exeelleney, your Exoellenoy's humble servant Las the honor to be enrolled. JProro almost every Diocese in Eng- land, there are now eludenta at that College, and it ia now sending forth iU missionaries to almost every part of the world. It has its represent tatives la the island of Borneo, to go (we tell you as a fact, from pereonal knowledge), where Uie foot of the European has never before trod, and tell the land DyaiE in hie native mountain haunts, that there ie n Ood who made him. It h«s its rspreeentativea in .Capetown, to teach the Caffre, Zulu and Hottentot., to kueel oA the foot of tho Cross. It will have its repr^eotativet in India to eoofate the cunning Mahometan, the erafly Hindoo and the aubtle Brahmin, in hia own langui^e, with his own argu- ments, and on hisown grouad; l|k*tie, toseareh for the seeds of truth which are to beieand iu those ancient and gigantio sys* )ms of error and super- atition, to nut them preeuiioentlv forward iu the minds of the Hindoo, and to bwjld opoa them tliMe fundamental duotrinee«f the Word of God, which a«e able tosove tlieieoul. It will have ite representatives in China to tell the votaries of Coofneius, fo, and Buddha, ih* plain and simple atory ol iue8s here beiow, and prepare for • joyful immortality, jt has its represeota- tivea io New Brnnawick, (o «dd to and extend the Ahnreb as here estab- lished in all its beauty, foloeea and integrity. It must be remembered and pressed upon yon, that in proportion aa each member of the church iu tbia Piocese nowxuMnea forward, and ac cording to his degree and measure, eiip;}liee the defloienoy which is being eaused by the withdrawal of the Society for the PropagAtion of the Gospel from tliia Diocese to eend missionarici to heathen eouutries, in that pro- portion, it ia not too mucii to sa^, will he be contributing to the mighty work of tbe regeneration of ACrtca, the conversion ot China, and the evangelixation of India. Thoughta with reference to thisaubject crowd in upon my mind, which may be expressed in tire borrowed words of an elmqiueai man, one of Eogland'a living preacherik *' The heart of tho christian ia aorrowfal irithio him, as he thinks of the broad dominion of Paganism. He griovea over the rich and vaat dia- triota of the eartli, inhabited oaly by the worahippera of idola, and is almost inclined to despair of (he epread and triumph of the kingdom of Ohri«t, ao inveterate and deeply rooted appesra the empire of Satan. But 'theidolehe shall utterly abolish,' and nations long and even still op- pressed with ignorance and superstition, shall receive the Gospel of Christ, und swell the ranks of His Church." With these remark*, may it plenae your Excellency, I have the honor of seconding the resulution. Moved by the Honorable Charles Fisher, Attorney General, seconded by W. Carman, Enquire.

Hit Exfftllaney the Livutensnt Governor then left the oliair, end oti motion, the Right Rev. the Lord Biahop took the tame, whereupon it was moved by the Hod. Mr. Juatioe Neville Parker, leeoaded by the Rev. 0. Lee, and unanimously resolved— That the thanks of the Hoolety be tendered to Ills Exeellenoy for his able and Impartial conduct In tli« ohalr. Uia Exoellenoy aokcowledged the resolution in the following terma:— I must tender my most hearty acknowledgment to the Hon. Oentleman who moved this resolution, and to the meeting, who have sustained it, and to you, my Lord, for the terms in whioh yon have oonveyed it to me. It hae been truly said, that it is my duty, in the position whiuh I hold, to make no distinction of oreeds— that duty, I hope, I have always per- formed. But the performance of that duty is not, in my opinion, incon- sistent with the bold avowal of my personal attachment to the Church to which I belong; on the contrary, I believe, and my own experience has taught me that others, who may differ from me in opinion, have not the less respect for one who avowa his own conscientious opinions toith charily. You, my Lord, have been kind enough to say that I have given my hum- ble assistance to support the Church, in my personal capacity, while I have been within the Province. I can truly say that such has been my endeavor. So far as attending at these meetings is concerned, I can also say, that if it has been a duty, it is • pleasant one, and it ia more espe- cially agreeable when, as on the present occasion, I have seen a spirit not only of union, but of iarnettnett. One idea has been expressed and shadowed forth by different apeakars, under different forms, but it is the same idea throughout. And it is triie, that the Church of England in tbia Province is a missionary church, and that when it asks for the assistance of churchmen, through the Diocesan Church Society, or any other means, it is not asking for luxurie$, it is asking for neee»iarie$. If this be a fact more and more realized among the churchmen of the Province, and if it be also known and felt that the appeal for contributiona to the Church of England are not for luxuriea, but for necessaries, then I shall ■gree with the Provincial Secretary, thai there ia no reason to fear for the Charob of England in thia Province. The benadioUoo was then pronouDOed by the Bisbop, and tbe meeting separated. CLERGY IN THE DIOCESE OF FllEDEUICTON. 1869. Right Rev. J. MEDLEY, D. D., Bihiiop of FiiEDEnioTON, Frodoricton.
