3e$u$ m messiab.
By DR. ALFRED EDERSHEEM.
Tt¥0 volumes, royal octavo, pp, 1,568, at $2.00 net, postpaid.
This extraordinary offer may suggest old stocky or repnnts from
old. plates. But, no, this is a new revised edition, printed from
entirely new electrotype plates, on excellent paper, and neatly and
strongly bound in doth boards.
THE author of this remarkable book was a clergyman, who, educated in the
Jewish faith, was subsequently converted to Christianity. He has written
a history of our Lord which so presents the laws, customs, habits, topography
of places, and situation of temples and other historic buildings synchronous with
His life on earth, that the reader is transported into that time, and feels that the
Gospel presents a real historical scene. Accordingly, the reader will find in this
work all of that learned and careful 8tudy and grouping of particulars which
makes a rationalistic life of Jesus so interesting, and in some respects instructive,
combined with that larger, loftier, and nobler comprehension of Jesus Christ
which harmonizes, not only with that class of representations in the Gospels which
are arbitrarily explained away and got rid of by the rationalist, but also with the
effects in the world that have been produced by him.
"The Literary World," London, say a:
" If we ask for a Hebrew of the Hebrews as our g^uide to the national peooliaritioB o!
the Son of David, what better one could we meet with than Dr. Edersheim? So to
Archdeaooii Farrar's and Dr. Geikie's Life of Christ a third was required to complete the
series. He must be described as a Jew to the Jews as well as a Gentile to the Gentilos."
"The Dongregationalist," Boston, in its review, says :
" The time has come at last when a life of our Saviour — among the many — has been
written which competently treats His career after that exhaustive historic fashion which
has done so much of late years to shed light upon eras and personages In a
remote country home, he has been able to give days and even weeks of investigation to
difficulties which resisted immediate solution. The result, we cannot help thinking, is that
he has aiboompliahed more than any ether man, or all other men put together, for the Ufe
dflives."
*^The Independent, New York, says :
"Edenhoim's book is a work mi generis. The title is characteristio of the work.
The author has seen the imporii!uioe of studying the life and work of the Savioqr in
eonneotion with His v/hole age ; and in this feature lies the strength and peculiarity fA this
hook. . . . . It is a picture of His life set into the historical baekgnmid of the times
di whioh He liv^ad. It is a book which all can read only with great profit to themselTeB, and
iias-soooessfulan oflfortasit i unique."

was compelled to rule the motion in each case out of ortier, unless that
pi-evious action weri' I'econsidered.

it was
lit'soh-i'il, — Thfit having hes'ird the rccoi'ds of the \arions i)istriet Meet-
ings concerning the young men who have been recommended to the Con-
ference to l)e received on proljation for our ministry, we express our great
satisfaction with the cliaractcr and (jualification of these young men as
indicated by these records ; but in view of the previous action of the
Conference (resolving not to admit any probationers this year in conse-
<|uence of the overcrowded condition of our work), we cannot now accept
these recommendations. We cordially commend these V»rethren to the
favorable consideration of any of the Conferences needing young men, as
personally well suited to oui- ministry.

SUPERANNUATION FUND.
Report of the Boird of tJie Sufirannuatioii Fund for the Year endiitff
Juhj SI St, IS 96.
A reduction of 6 per cent, on all claims has been found necessary in
view of the prospective deficiency growing out of the largely increased
number of ministerial claimants.
Notwithstanding this, the balance against the Annual Fund at the
beginning of the year has been increased from $7,221.62 to $11,930.
The receipts from Circuits are $9, .326. 10 less, and from ministers
^10,979.35 more than last year.
Unforeseen expenditure over the estimates on claims, refunds, interest
on last year's balance, and over-drafts of •12,146, and shortage in estimated
receipts of $2,208, together amount to $4,354.
The contributions to capital account this year amount to $5,180.
W. S. Griffik, Treasurer.
The Board regrets that notwithstanding an increase of $2,535 in the
annual income, and a discount of 6 per cent, in the payment of annui-
ties, there is for the current year a deficit of $4,709. This is partially
accounted for by the large number of ministers and probationers (mostly
proljationers) who, on the 31st of July, had failed to pay their annual
subscriptions. The IJoard looks to the chairmen of Districts and to the
Conference Treasurers to correct this growing neglect of Discipline.
The most serious feature in the Report is the al)normal increase in the
numl)er of tninisterial claimants. In two years past the annuity claims
have increased by $10,000, oud for the current year over $4,000, rendering
necessary a painful reduction of 10 p"r cent in the payment of annuities.
The Hoard is helpless to control tlu^ nuinljerof ministers placed on the
Fund, and appeals to the Annual Conferences to check the ruinous policy
of receiving more prol)ationer.s than are needed to till vacancies by death
and superantiuation and the actual gnnvth of our work, which policy
inevitably throws many older men prematurely on the Fund.

To th'- Prfxiil-'iit iitid Mrnilif.r^ oj' the Ilnmllton ('nnftrfnci .
By rpsulutior. of tins Conferonce held in (!alt, Juno, IS'JC), n conunittee
consisting of Revs. Jno. Wakefield, I ). \,. iJrethour and Dr. James Mills
were appointed to meet the l5oard of ]>irectors of (Jrinisl)y Park to
request the said lioard to close the gates of the Park on the Sahbath Day.
Tlie Hev. J no. Wakefield, convener, called the other members of the
Committee to appear before the Board in the city of Hamilton on the
."itd day of November, 1896. Revs. Jno. Wakefield and I). L. Brethour
were present. We were courteously recei\ed and granted permission to
address the Board according to the instructions of the Conference.
The Comnnttee presented the question of closing the gates of the park
on the Sabbath Day, and pressed it upon the attention of the Board,
asking for prompt and favorable action. There were nine members of
the lioard present, five of whom were ministers, who, with one of the
laymen present, were members of the Hamilton Conference of 1896.
Your Committee hoped tlie Board, so constituted, would have passed
an order to close the gates of the park in accordance with the unani-
mously expressed request of the Conference. We are sorry to have to
re])ort our mission a failure. We learned some time after, through the
public press, the gates were to be kept open as heretofore. We regret
the action of the. Board was adverse to the request of the Conference as
txpressed by its deputation ; and the more so because the Park is situated
within the bounds of the Conference, and is declared to be a Methodist
institution, the directo's of which must be members of the Methodist
Oliurch.
The action of our own Conference in this matter has been sustained by
resolution of the Toronto Conference. Your Committee are free to say
the action of the lioard strikes at the very foundation of the sacredness
ot the Sabbath Day.
We would respectfully submit and strongly recommend the Conference
to take such further steps as in its judgment may be deemed necessary to
put a stop to what we >)elieve to be a great and increasing evil.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

It affords youf Committee .satisfaction to know that the j)eople of the

helped by the i(>.sttietive laws already passeil, to .sti-engllien and confirm
the conviclions of the peojile re;rarding God's claims on the Salibatli Day.
I'^-om tlie trend of the limes, however, it is evidiMit that there is a dis-
position on the part of many to violate the sanctity of Cod's holy (hiy, and
we deem it more necessary than ever to put forth most earnest ellbrts to

and other corporations from int'rin^'iui; upun the I'cst of tliat day Oy
arramrins: for Sunday excursions and rei^ular tnwvol an I traflii- there()n.
Tn this connection we would (express our ^freat n^j^ret at the result of
the recent vote taken in the city (»f 'I'tronto r<'girding the running of
street (rars on Sunday, thereby disturlting the (juiet of that day, for the
ol)sevance of which Toronto has had hitherto a world-wide re()Utation.
We earnestly hnpe that the Christian people of Toronto may show their
disapproval by refusing tf» patronize strecit cars on the Sabbath hiV.
Your Committee further deplore the desecration of the Sabbath by
persons who seek " tlieir own pleasure' on bicycles or carriages on the
Lord's Day, and urge upoti every member of the ( 'onference to do all in his
power to discourage this fast growing evil.
Your Committee are impressed svith the great importance of the qu(!s-
tion of Sunday tralHc upon our canals, and desire to express their hearty
sympathy witli the efforts being u ade by the St. Catharines Lord's Day
Alliance to induce the Dominion (rovernment to enforce the Sabbatii
laws by closing tlu; Welland Canal during the ent.re Sabbath ,l)a3' except
when the ice is forming in the oanal or some other peculiarly urgent cir
cumstance arises.
Your Committee note with satisfaction that the managers of the
Ontario Methodist Camp Ground Company, Limited, have not placed in
their prog ,ime for this season specially attractive services for the
Sabbath l);iy for the purpose of bi'inging together large crowds, and we
recommend the Conference to urge upon the AFanagement the necessity of
keeping the gates closed as fat- as it is legally possible, and if necessary
seeking to secure such legislation as will ol)tain the more {)erfect obser

We wish our people to know also that the Methodist Church is in no
way responsil)le for any iri-egularities if tlu-re be such — in connection
•with the Moorelield camp-meeting, is it is in no sense whatever connected
with or under the control of our Church.
We wish to urge also that tin; holding of funerals, when it (;an \n'
avoided on the Sunday, and all society and military parades, ought to be
discouraged, as not in .-iccord with the divine command, " llemember tlie
Sabl)ath day to keep it holy."
Your Committee wish further to remind our people that all unneces-
sary secular work, l)usiness engagements, social visititig, secular reiuiing
and worldly conversation indulged in on the Sabl)atli are highly pre
judicial to the strict observance of the Lord's Day and to the development
of spiritual life, and therefoi''- should be strictly and consi'it-nt iously
aljstained from, and would urge upon them a fairliful attendance on the
public worship of (Jod and tic ordinances of His house as a nie-ms of
attaining to a fuller and higher Christian life.
We wish to express our approval of the eli'oits of tiie Lord's Day

Your Committee regret to tind that in connection with i\n\ 45:') congre
gations of the Hamilton Conference therf are but 61 J unior societies. We
feel that this fact ought not to be. Wherever it has been given a fair trial,
under a competent sup(;rintendent, the Junior League has been fruitful in
the richest results. Xo phase of League work, at the present moment,
presents a more encouraging prospect : and at the same time no phase
requires more careful and urgent attention. Signs indicate that unless
our boys and girls are gathered into the Junior League they will be
attracted into children's organizations not under our Church's control and
not instinct with her spirit. Most earnestly do we i-(>conimen! each
Circuit Superintendent to spare no effort to scl-ui'C an efficient Junior
League in connection, if possible, with evei-y cliurch under his charge.
2. We regret to tind that a number of Leagues have failed to take up
the annual collection, and that many others have been dilatory in sending
their contributions to the General Treasurer or Financial Secretary of
their districts. We, therefore, repi;at the recommendation of last year's
committee, that each League be careful to comply with the disciplinary
arrangements in this regard, and that the coUectio.i be taken not later
than the first of ( ) tober. To avoid confusion, we recommend that all

."). We cull attention to the fact that not a few of our younp; people's
soLiieties are sending annual collections to general boards other than our
own, and we respectfully suggest that the b»st interest of such societies,
and of our Church, would be served by their ailoption of the title and con
stitution of the Kpworth League or Epworth League of Christian
ICndeavor.
4. Your Conunittee liave reason to believe that confusion arises, and
incorrect statistics are furnished, by the careless practice of some
Lfiague Secretaries and Circuit Superintendents. The confusion arises in
this way. Leagues sometimes contribute money to our Trustee Boards
for building or, other purposes. Such amounts are credited in the
Kpworth League schedules, under the head " Amounts raised for all othf>r
purposes." And, then, in the circuit schedules, such amounts are again
credited, under *' Amounts raised for Circuit purposes," once in line
" Trustee Boards," and, again, in line " Epworth Leagues." We urge that
those concerned be more careful in these particulars.
5. Your Committee cordially endorse the Young People's Missionary
Forward Movement, inaugurated by the Students' Missionary Societies
of our colleges. We heartily commend this movement to the sympathy
of our pastors, Leagues and churches. We would urge upon all District
League Executives the expediency of immediately making arrangements
for thorough and systematic campaigns in which, if possible, every League
in our various Districts may be visited by a deputation of college students.
In this connection we desire to once more emphasize the fact that the
fcStudent Missionary Campaigners collect no money, but are working in
liarniony with, and have received the endorsation of, our General Board
of Missions,
<). Perhaps the most striking feature of our League work during the
{)ast year was the inauguration of the Young People's Forward Move-
ment in Bible study and evangelistic work. The following were the
essential features of the movement : The reading of the Book of Acts by
our young people concurrently in ten consecutive days ; a sermon on the
Book of Acts, by the pastor of each circuit : young people's Sunday, and
an evangelistic campaign, under the auspices of our Tjeagues, of at least
one week's duration. The result of the movement was highly encouraging ;
\oQ pastors preached sermons on the l>ook of Acts; over 6,000 persons
read the Book in ten days ; !>2 Leagues had young people's days, com-
mencing with a sunrise prayer-meeting and closing with a live evangelistic
service ; oT Leagues held one week's evangelistic campaign. As a result
200 souls were converted ; the spiritual life of the League was greatly
quickened ; a great incentive was given to Bible study, and in many cases
it was the couimencemeiit of uracious revivals. So heartily has the move-
ment commended itself to the judgment of the Church that similar
movenienls were inaugurated at Winnipeg, Montreal, Halifax and else-
where.
The Hamilton Conference Epworth League Convention decided by a
unanimous vote to continue tlie movement. We recommend that this
Conference endorse that action and urge upon District League Executives

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SYSTEMATfO
B BENEFICENCE.
Your Committee bej;; to report as follows :
We are convinced that the prayer of the great apostle for a door to l)e
opened, as also the prayer of our Lord for laborers, has been largely
answered, and tlie most apparent lack to-day is tlie money to evangelize
the world.
We are persuaded tliis crying need may be satisfied by all our people
adopting the sci'iptural method of tithing their incomes. We find the
unanimous experience of tlie individuals wiio have adopted the tithing
method has been to the effect, that they are not only spiritually ble.-sed,
but also tinancialiy prospered, and that wherever churches have adopted
this method, they have ample finances to meet all requirements without
resortini; to indirect methods.

MINUTES OF THE HAMILTON

We recoj^ni/.o the fact that it is litLle use of ministers and churcli
leaders eniphasiziiig tithing until they practise it themselves ; therefore,
we urge upon all ministers and laymen, all Superintendents of 8unday
Schools and other chui'ch huuh^'s the adopting; of this metliod, so that, by
example as well as precept, they may intlucnc^ others.
We recommend that, wherever pracLical)le, tinancial conventions similar
to those held by our President on his former eha?'ges, he undertaken with
a view of educating the people ;uul instructing them in the scriptural
doctrine of tithing.
We notice some favorable signs in connection with the subject of
systematic lieneticence. We have reason to believe an increasing number
of our older brethren are titiiing their incomes, and that the young are, in
itu;reasing numbers, adopting .systematic giving.
W^e rejoice in tlie increasing interest of Kpworth Leagues in this sul)-
ject during the past year, as shown in their adopting the two-cents-a-week
method for individuals in connection with the forward mission movement.
We. trust this movement, seeking as it does, to introduce systematic giving
among the young, may receive the hearty endorsation of all pastors. We
urge that, in the i<^pworth League topic-^, an evening l)e given to the dis-
cussion of systematic benelic(MiCf\

Rev. .James McAllister was eiect(-d Chairman, and }I. (>. Livingston,
■Secretary.
Your Committee would first of all express gratitude to ( Jod for the
strong desire that He is creating within the Church for the power and
presence of the Holy Spirit. This is apparent on the various circuits,
and especially, and increasingly so, at the Annual Conferences. The
Conference love-feasts, consecration services, prayer meetings, and regular
business sessions are seasons of grace and sweet delight. The days of the
Annual Conference are witnessing large measures of the outpouring of
the Holy Chost.
We believe that the Church is realizing more and more the magnitude
of tlie work she has to do, and her helplessness, without the power which
God alone can give. Let us be clothed in tlie might of God's Spirit, and
then the dithculties which lie i)efore us will mrlt awav.
The net increase in the membership of the t Church during the past year
is 47.'^, or a fraction over one per cent. While we are very thankful for
this, v/e are humbled l)ecau8e it is not larger.
We would emphasize the importance of our class meetings. Used
wisely, we believe this to be one of the best means of grace ever insti
tuted. We are sure that it would greatly increase tiie attendance at class,
if the helpfulness of this meeting were more frequently referred to from

whenever possible. We would urge tlie kcepini,' of class books and the
importance of having all tlie niember-s of our <"liuich assigned to .some
class, as we have reason to believe that nien,l)ei's" names aie continued on
the rolls of some churches which ;i.re not kept in any class Hot. \\n
>M)-jld also encourage class leaders' conventions and tlie greatest po.ssiblo
etliciency on the part of leaders themselves
We recognize the importance of th(^ work of <iod among our voting
people. While we commiMul them for their loyalty to their own Churcli,
Nve would discourage any tendency to substitute any dtlici' means of grace
for tlie time-honored class meeting. We woald encourage clas^ meetini;s
among the boys and girls of our Church undei- suitable leadei's. V^■e
believe that much religious instruction niiiy be imported here.
We hiive i-eason to think that comparatively few of our children are
studying the catechism, and \ery few an^ regularly :itttndiiig the iHiltlic
means of i;race on the Lortl's J )ay. The cure for this is laigely in ihe
hand\- of the parents and Sunday (School teachers.
We feel that the matt(n' of removal certificates is deserving of some
attention. We believe that thousands of membei's are lost to the
.Methodist Church because this is not properly looked after. \N'e luid
pastors encouraging niendters to lea\e their names in the church from
which th; y remove. This i^^ften results in fhe loss of mfinbershiri to the
persons concerned.
We woulrl discourage the holding of objectionable ent(rtainmetits under
the auspicf s of our churches, especially m connection with .Sunday Scliools,
Kpworth League, and church anniversaries. We believe that the good >.f
a year's work is sometimes lai'gely undone by the holding of some frivolous
and .secular entertainment on the anniversary occasion.
We gratefully recognize the rising tide of missionary enthusiasm
among our young people, and most cordially commend it to the favor and
encouragement of our pastors and people. We woe.ld direct attention to
the work at home as well as to that abroad.
We believe that special services for the promotion of (Jod's work can
be made much more successful if our own members can be got to engage
more generally therein. Instead of relying so much upon the services of
travelling evangelists, let us have the united etibrt of the church
membership.
Wliile there is a great tendency toward Sabbath deseciation by the use
of the bicycle and Sunday car, we are persuaded that the young people of
the ALethodist Church are largely free froni these otfences. We are glad to
note that in the recent contest in the city of Toronto the young people
of tlie churches did such noble work against the introduction of Sunday
cars. We call upon our young people to rally around their pastors and
leaders, and to use all their influence against Salibath desecration.
Lastly, we would recommend that our young p.^oph; cooperate with
the p.astors in endeavoring to place our publications, and especially the
Chrlxtiaii Guard inn^ in the htjines of all the people.

llEPOUT OF TllK SABBATH SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Your CuuiiiiittiM! reports as follows :
1. We liud tlie ;^nit.ifving increase of 721 pupils in eonnevlion witli
our Sabl):ith Schools, althou^ih there are two schools hikI nineteen teadierb
less reported than last year.

4. We regie - to tind a serious falling-oil' in missionary contriliutious :
and, while ther^ is no serious deficiency in the collections for the Sunday
School Aid and Exten.sion Fund, there is a sad discrepancy in the returns
made by our Secretaries and the amounts received by the Conference
Treasurer of this fund -only three districts having made correct returns.
We would, therefore, earnestly recommend that the Sabbath School
schedules be read at the district meeting, and the I'inancial Score

REPOllT OF TEMPEIIAXCE COM.MITTEE.
Tills Committee met at the call of the Convtnier, and orijanized by the
a})pointment of the lte\'. 1 'r. i'.rethour as Chairman, and llev. A. Iv Smitl.
as Secretary.
Counnunicatious fi'om the hominion Alliance, and resolutions from
certain districts, were submitted and duly considered. Your Committee
report as follows :
1. Believing that the cause of Temperance is always advanced by agi-
tation, we rejoice at the prominence whicli has recently been accorded it,
in the councils both of the Provincial and i)ominion Legislatures.
As to the action of the former in the matter of the new License Act,
we cannot but express disappointment in the provisions thereof. Since,
however, the members of the Cabinet have stated !hat tliey are more
advanced in their views on this question than their supjiorters in the
House, we would call tlie attentioii of this Conference tc the only rational
inference from such a statement, viz., that if we really desire the abolition
of the liquor traHic. we must interest ourselves more deeply in the selec
tion of candidates for and election of representatives to Parliament, wIk^
by their past record are known to be. in .sympathy with the advanced
temperance and prohibition sentiment of the day, and that th'^y will
give their uiKjualiticf] support to our cause.

81
will
submitted to the people, as well as the main question, your Committee
would respectfully protest against such a proposal, and for the following
reasons :
(a) A readjustment of financial methods is involved in the main ques-
tion of Prohibition, and an artirmative vote necessarily carries with ifc
consent to share the burden of readjusted taxation.
(h) Methods of taxation are divisive issues. It would greatly embarrass
a vote on the main question to introduce a second divisive issue.
(c) The Government having pledged itself to a ])lebiscite, the Temper-
ance people had a right to assume that, as in the Provincial plebiscite,
the expression would be confined to the main issue.
Your Committee is further strongly of the opinion that it is a mistake
to assume that direct taxation is a necessary conconiit a\t of Prohibition.
Jt lias been clearly shown, that a slight readjustment of present methods
could be made to produce several millions of revenue, and, moreover, a
Government that has tlie confidence of the peo[)le may safely be entrusted
with the responsibility of adjusting taxation to the new conditions.
Again, inasmuch as the same deputation suggested that Pi-ohibition
should be enacted only when endorsed by a majority of the entire elector-
ate, vour Committee submits that in view of the impossibility of
polling the entire electoral vote on any question, a majority of those
voting shall determine the policy to be pursued.
3. With a view to still fur^.er improving public sentiment in regard to
this question, we recognize tue great importance of the ciix-ulation of
temperance literature. In this connection we refer with very great satis-
faction to the Christian Guardian and our Sunday School periodicals.
We also desire to place on record our appreciation of the valuable help
afforded by numerous other publications throughout the country.
4. Ptecognizing the necessity of holding the children true to our cause,
we would advise that the total abstinence pledge provided by Discipline
be brought into all our Sunday Schools, and that as many of thechildrea
as possible be induced to sign it.
\Ve would also call attention to the constitution of Sunday SchooE
Temperance Societies as per ]>iscipline, and would recommend that such
a society be formed in all schools where one does not now exist.
5. The Dominion Alliance having requested that the Conference send
four delegates to the annual meeting of the Council of the Alliance, it is
recommended that this request be acceded to, and that the following
members of Conference constitute the delegation, viz., Revs. Dr. Jirethour
and Potter, and Messrs. Ellis and Gibson.
6. Inasmuch as several of the circuits, and in some cases whole dis-
tricts, report no money raised during the year for the Temperance Fund,
your Committee would call attention to the General Conference requisi-
tion, viz., that a collection be taken up each year, at a public temperance
meeting on each circuit ; and in view of the fact that considerable money
will be required in the near future for the Plebiscite campaign, would urge
that this matter receive not only careful a'vcntion but generous support-
throughout the entire Conference.
We further recommend that Rev. J. W. Cooley be reappointed Treasurer-
of the Fund.

7. The following brethren are recommended as members of the Stand-
ing Committee on Temperance for this Conference : Eevs. the President
of the Conferenc3, Dr. Ross, Dr. Brethour, Wm. Kettlewell, F. E. Nugent,
J. W. Cooley, and Messrd. K. M. FuUerton, E. H. Cleaver, George
Kennedy, Joseph Gibson and Jonathan Ellis.
8. Your Committee realizing that Prohibition is but one of several
great social problems that call for our consideration and support, believe
that the time has como when, as a church, we should recognize this fact,
and be better prepared in any legislative or other crisis that may arise with
regard to the Sabbath, social purity or temperance questions, to at once
marshal our forces in favor of any of these moral reforms.
The friends of the saloon are, for the most part, the enemies of virtue
and of the Christian Sabbath, therefore the preservation of the Sabbath
from the inroads of false liberalism, the protection of society from impure
literature and immoral public exhibitions, the shielding of virtue by rais-
ing the age of consent, and the great temperance reform are very closely
allied. Mr. John Charlton and other friends of morality in the Dominion
and local legislatures, where they have introduced bills dealing with the
observance of the SabVjath and other moral questions, have received a very
feeble support from the churches, not because the churches lacked
sympathy, but because it was no one's business to crystallize their
sympathy into practical support ; no one's business to rally the moral
forces of the Dominion in a legislative or legal crisis and marshal them
for victory. Your Committee therefore submit that the time has come
for the Methodist Church to organize a J3ureau of Social Reform with a
permanent secretary who shall co-operate with the Standing Committees
on Sabbath Observance and Temperance appointed by the various Confer-
ences, and generally further the objects and methods outlined in this
paragraph.

Regents and Senate of your University, in submitting to you the follow-
ing report of our work during the year just closing :
Our net enrolment of students has reached the nundier of 282, au
increase of 29 on last year. This enrolment has been distributed as
follows : Arts, 22G ; Theology, 15S ; less counted in both faculties, 102 ;
net enrolment, 282. ("^f this number St are completing the B.A. course,
and 24 have completed one of the three prescribed curricula in theology.
Of these lu, or more than one-half, have already graduated, or are pro-
ceeding to graduation in Arts as well as in Theology. We are thus, we
believe, securing to our rising ministry an intellectual training not
inferior to that retjuired by any other branch of the Christian Church in
our country.
We are able also to report that the work of our theological school is
extending itself quite beyond the training of candidates for our ministry.
Probably nearly one-third of the students enrolled this year are not
specitically preparing for that work. Quite a number are deaconesses
seeking a thorough training in religious knowledge to prepare them for
the work to which they have consecrated their lives. Others are young
men, and even more largely young women, supplementing their Arts
course by Biblical and other Christian studies which will fit them for the
most intelligent Christian work in the days to come. These studies
embrace the wide range of the English Bible, Biblical History, the
Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, Church History, Christian Ethics,
Apologetics and Theistic Philosophy. The selection of these studies is
optional, so that no candidate for an Arts degree is forced to take tlieiii,
But as a matter of fact, the greater part of our graduates in Arts pursue

pursue
ire pre
scribed. In this way our curriculum under Federation is quite as
distinctly marked by the impress of Christian teaching as it was when
we formed it independently.
A marked feature of the religious side of student life during the past
year has been the growth of the missionary spirit. Organized bands of
young men have gone out through our young peo|>le's societies, and have
organized them in connection with our own missionary work. In this
way, we believe that not only is Methodism strengthened, but valuable
energy and zeal are directed to the largest results which might otherwise
be largely frittered away in mere individual efforts.
The important suV)ject of a refined Christian home for our young
women students has been taken up by an organization of Christian
women, who will ask your sympathy and assistance in this important
work, and this we are sure they will abundantly receive.
We will venture once more to ask your co operation in directing all
our young people who are seeking a university education to our own
college. There are still strong influences used to divert them in other
directions. We have watched the course of those who have been so led,
and have found that they are often diverted from the Church in which
they first found spiritual life, or else decline in that life and step aside
from their original Christian consecration. We feel certain we can
oflfer them every advantage to be had in any other college in our country
and combined with moral and religious iuHuences which will make them
strong in spiritual as well as intellectual life.
Praying that God may greatly bless your work and labor in the Lord,
we are, Your fellow-workers in Christ,

10,500, total debt on current account (only liability) is .$4,000. The
boarding department covers its need with the income of about .$4,000.
The need is urgent for enlargement of buildings, for increased accommo-
dation in dormitories, lecture rooms and convocation hall.
The effort of the Rev. Prof. Harris, ]\LA,, Bursar, to further increase
the Endowment Fund, is being continued, and all its proceeds are sacredly
placed in new investments. In the meantime the institution is conducted
with rigid economy in finances, and with regard to thoroughness and
efficiency in educational work.

Dear Brethren, — We are abl^ to report another year of prosperity
in connection with this institution. The health of the students has been
exceptionally good ; in fact, we have not had a single case of serious
illness during the year, for which we are profoundly grateful.
One hundred and ninety students have been enrolled ; all of the
departments have oeen well attended, and the work has been conducted

with vigor and a good degree of satisfaction. The College still continues
to have most gratifying success with its departmental and university
candidates. There can be no (juestion that the literary work of the College
is unsurpassed by that of any collegiate institute in the Province. Of six
candidates for Senior Leaving teachers' certiticates, five have been suc-
cessful. This year the Senior Leaving class numbers eight, and is the
largest in the history of the College. At the Departmental examination
in July last, 80 per cent, of the candidates for teachers' certiticates were
successful. We invite the attention of friends of the College to this
record. You cannot err in sending your sons and daughters to Albert
College for this work. The classes for Junior and Senior Matriculation
still continue to be large. Candidates for the Methodist ministry receive
special attention. The special examination in May will be continued.
The Departments of Music, Elocution, Fine Arts and Commercial
Science have been well attendfd, and have been successful during the
year. By frequently winning medals, prizes and distinctions in com[)eti-
t on with other schools and colleges, these departments have taken •• first
pace. The aim is to keep them thoroughly efficient and at the same
tine maintain moderate ratf s. It is doubtful if any college in '^'anada
offi rs equal advantages with Albert College at equally low rates.
The new building, " Mas.sey liali," the gymnasium, and the improve-
inents to the residence are tlie great pride and delight of the students
and tes.chers. The College is now able to provide for tlie comfort and
convenience of students as it has never before been able to do.
The students have been active in all religious work, both in the college
and the city missions. Everywhere their /eal and devotion is spoken of.
The missionary societies have been progressive and fully alive to evety
opportunity for good. There has been, as never befori>, an earnest and
intelligent study on the part of many students, of tliat most vital doc-
trine, "holy living." A blessed and most hallowed intiuence has been
present and manifest in all the work of the school. Albert College is
doing a grand work for the Church of God, and for our beloved Method-
ism. We desire the active co-operation of the ministry and laity in
extending its patrona^'e, and thereby at the same time widening its influ-
ence for good.

ALMA COLLEGE, ST. THONL\S, ONT.
To the Hamilton Conference of the Methodist Church.
Deak Fathers and Bretfiren,— Alma College offers the annual greet-
ing for the sixteenth year since its founding as a :Methodist school for the
higher education of young women. By the act of Union, 1884, tiie Col-
lege came in as the pro|)orty of the Methodist Church, and now is
completely controlled by the General Conference of the Church.
Alma College, in the spirit of Wesley, makes the world its parish.
Students from Alina are in mission work in Africa, China, Japan, India
and America, and more are preparing to go. This interest in missions is

greatest mission is the making of cultured Christian homes in our own
land and the practising of Cliristian virtue everywher«\ Alma College is
Methodist, yet enjoys the high iiunor c . having usually one-half its
patronage from other cliurches. No denoniin.itional meddiesonieness inter-
feres with the oliurcli preferences of its students ; the aim is to foster a
love of truth in whatever form held.
The College is a gift of the pi^ople to woman's education. In thousands
of subscriptions, tlie largest not exceeding ^500, the people have given
©ver $G3,000 to this enteri)rise. The Methodist Church has undertaken to
administer this generous liberality. Alma College is indeed the voice of
the people, asking that the best facilities for woman's education be avail-
able equally to the daughter of the mansion and the daughter of the cot
tage. High scholarship. Christian kindness and social energy command
the patronage of the wealthy, and low rates encourage the struggling to
try to attain better things. It is therefore possible to bring in touch and
sympathy in college life the best minds and purest hearts from all spheres
of life. This was the high ideal of the founders of this College.
In founding this institution they had at first to depend on the small
contributions of the many less wealthy, but the plea of Alma has touched
the kind heart of one man of wealth, and is the beneticiary to the extent
of $10,000 in the princely benevolence of the late Hart A. Massey. And
Alma expects that in answer to the faith and sacrifice of the people other
aonenof wealth will be moved to place at the disposal of the Church tlie
means to enable Alma yet to realize the original intent, that the Colleg*;
buildings and equipment should be a free gift to the cause of woman's
education. There is a sphere of education which the State cannot till, and
that is a residential school-life incorporating the idea of church, home, and
school, blended in one organization. This sphere the Church must till ui
order to permanency, and to the developnient of the generous liberality
essential to so great a cause. The Protestant churches have a very plain
duty in this most importt-nt matter. Alma College is fully on the line of
the traditional policy of the Chuich declared in the Discipline to be : That
ia the best interests of the Church and of education we imperatively
demand that our colleges and universities should be under the fostering
care of the Church.
In reviewing the work of the College for the past year, we most grate-
fully record the goodness of God in His providential care of our students and
iteachers. No serious illness or contagious disease has visited us. While
the number of our students and the receipts of the past year cannoc be
ranked among our best, it has its record of successful work and some
»encouraging features to record.
The total enrolment, 10 in excess of last year, is 134 students, of
whom 91 have been resident, and 43 day pupils. This enrolment repre-
sents the Christia,.! denominations as follows : Methodist 70, Presbyterian
27, Episcopalian IG, Baptist 12, Roman Catholic 7, Congregational 2.
Twenty students have been enrolled from the neighboring Republic.
The class preparing for graduation this year numbers thirteen^ repre-
senting all departments.
The work of soliciting subscriptions has been greatly hindered by the
financial stringency of the times, yet additions have been made to the sub-

The s»cliool is in a condition for elFectivo work in all its departments,
and is nnsurpassed in its arrangements for the comfort, convenience, pro-
press and health of its students. We are persuaded that no school in the
dominion can otter better advantages in the way of a liberal education
for young women.
A rearrangement of the loan upon the college property has been efiVctcd
at a lower rate of interest, resulting in an annual saving of nearly >!4U0.
Tlie IJoard is using most careful economy in order to tiie reduction of the
debt, but must carefully guard at the same tinif- the comfort of the
students and tlie ethciency of the school.
We would most respectfully urge the members of the Conference, lay
and clerical, to aid the work ot the sciiool by personal interest and co-
operation. By SOU' ,iig us tiujely information concerning prospective
students, by bringing the claims of our JMetliodist in.stitutions fre<|uently
before the people, and in a variety of other ways, ministers and laymen
can greatly aid the College.
In conclusion, we beg to thank the Conference for excellent nppoint-
m3nts made in preceding years to our Board of Management, and to ask
that a Conference representative be selected for the current year.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE ONTARIO LADIES'
COLLK'JE AND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC.
To tlie Ilamiltoii Jfethodist Conference :
We, the directors of the Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, take pleasure,
in presenting to this Conference our t.^'enty -third annual report.
Notwithstanding the continued commercial depression, the attendance
has been very gratifying, there having been 110 boarders and ilfteen day
pupils. This success is the legitimate outcome of faithful and well-
dii'ected eflort. For many years it lias been our aim as Directors to pro-
vide the highest educational facilities, and the most comfortable and
culturing surroundings.
The financial aid recently furnished by the friends of the College has
enabled us to realize our ideal in buildings and equipment, and has given
a wonderful stimulus to all departments of our college work. The
Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, when visiting our College at commence-
ment, was delighted with what he saw, and said that the most eflective
way of advertising, so far as our College was concerned, was to have the
people of this country come and see it for themselves, and go forth intelli-
gent as well as enthusiastic advocates of its real merit. Stronger language
than we would like to use in this report is being used almost every day by
visitors, to express their appreciation of the beautiful and extensive build-
ings, the chaste and elegant appointments, and the magnificent equipment
for first-class educational work. It should be, and undoubtedly is, a

source of pride and pleasure to the Methodist Church to have under its
control such a grand college property with its ever-increasing possibilities
£or good.
We are deeply grateful to tlie friends of higher education who have
aided us in our scheme of extension and improvement ; and we sincerely
hope that others in the near future may be disposed to give us etill
more extended aid.
Respecting the literary status of our College, and class of work being
done by our students, we take pleasure in quoting from letters recently
received from Chancellor Burwasli, of Victoria University, and President
Loudon, of Toronto University.
Dr. Burwasli says :
" I have pleasure in stating that no less than nine students have entered
Victoria and Toronto universities from the Ontario Ladies' College,
Whitby. The majority of these have taken the first two years of their
university work at Whitby, coming up for their examinations to Toronto,
and passing with credit. Three of these have already graduated with
honors, and are a credit to the Ontario Ladies' College. Four others are
at present doing excellent work as undergraduates in the University, and
two others have been transferred to another Canadian university in the
city where their parents reside. Any college carrying students up to
university studies, ar.-i placing them in a position to obtain advanced
standing at the University examinations, deservf^s great praise, and should
receive every possible .Micouragement in its inipcrtant work."
President Loudon says :
" When visiting your College in June last year for the first time, I v.'as
agreeably surprised at the extent and excellence of your building and
equipment, which should, I think, afford every accommodation for
physical comfort and health of students. T have observed also with
pleasure the creditable stand taken at the University examinations
during the last few years by sevei-al students who had prepared the work
of the first and second years of tha Arts course in the Ontario Ladies'
Colloge. Without en :ering into fletail, I may say that these candidates
have mostly taken hr nor standing in modern languages, and that their
success affords testimony to the efficiency of the instruction imparted by
your staff."
It is due our College to draw the attention of this Conference to the
fact that no other ladies' college iu Canada has been able to make a
similar University record.
Our Conservatory of Music afibrds the best facibties for the study of
piano, pipe organ, violin, guitar, voice-culture and harmony. No expense
has been spared in providing concert-grand pianos, coufortable practice
rooms, etc. ; but the most important provision is a large two-manual
pipe organ, recently erected in the new concert hall. This organ has been
specially designed to meet the wants of students desirous of fitting them-
selves to become church organists. Considering the great demand at the
present day for competent lady organists, and the difficulty usually
experienced in obtaining practice on a suitable instrument iu a well-
warmed hall, we take pleasure in referring to our superior facilities for
organ practice, and trust that they may prove advantageous to many an
aspiring student.

Time will not permit us to refer specially in this report to the Fine
Art, Elocution, Commercial and Domestic Economy departments, vxcept
to state that they are just as thorouj^h and efficient as the departments
that have been referred to. Thanking the members of this Conference
for the kind co-operation and support in the past, and trusting to prove
worthy of the same in the future, we coniniend our College to the favor-

OBITUARIES.
JAMES VAN VVYCK, B.A.
liev. .I.'is. Van Wyck, B.A., was born on the IGth of May, 1846, in the
village of Stamford, Welland County, Ontario ; and on the 8th of April,
1897, in the midst of his usefulness, was called to his reward. His
father, an industrious and intelligent farmer, suffered heavy financial
losses at a time when his family was quite young. As a consequence, the
early educational advantages of James Van Wyck were very limited, but
nevertheless the thirst for knowledge was there, resulting, in later years,
in scholarly attainments, creditable to himself and to the college from
which he graduated.
His conversion to God took place in the town of Welland during a
revival conducted by the Rev. W. G. Brown, M.A., and Rev. A. Beemer.
He entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1869, and
in 1873 was ordained by the late Bishop Richardson. While on proba-
tion he labored in Saltfleet, Erie, and Oxford, giving promise throughout
of a useful life in the ministry. After ordination, permission was given
to attend Albert College, where, in 1878, he obtained his degree of
Bachelor of Art.i. He was then thirty-two years of age and ready for his
life-work, to which he believed the Lord had called him.
His first field after ordination was the town of Stratbroy, where he
toiled with marked success for nearly five years, and thence to Gore
Street Church, Hamilton, for three years. The union of Canadian
Methodism, in favor of which Mr. Van Wyck was an ardent advocate, took
place while in his second year at Gore Street Completing his term at
Gore Street Church, his pastoral charges after this were Euclid Avenue,
Toronto, Welland Avenue, St.- Catharines, First Church, Hamilton,
and Gore Street Church, where he finished his course in the triuirnhs of
faith and of a glorious hope.
Our lamented brother was given a large share, but not larger than he
deserved, of official honors and responsibilities. He gladly served the
Church in any position to which he was appointed. He was elected to
several successive General Conferences, and at the time of his decease
was a member of the Board of Management of Alma College, St. Thomas,
a member of the Senate of Victoria University, a member of the General
Board of Missions. Cliairman of the Hamilton District, and President of
the Hamilton Conference.
James Van Wyck loved his work, and deeply felt the importance of the
duties and obligations resting upon him. His care was constant over the
flocks entrusted to him. His preaching was of a type that did much good.
1897]
METHODIST CONFERENCE.

The tiro of an intense earnestness cliaracterized his ministrations and
compelled attention. No man <.'ou]d listen to his words and tliink him
insincere. He believed what he uttered, and uttered only what he
believed. His speech and his preaching were not with enticing words ot"
man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
He was a familiar figure on the battlrtield of moral reform. He
believed in a life of honest and sobriety, of uprightness antl purity for all
men. Whatsoever things were lovely and of good report found in him a
diligent promoter. He was a brave man, being strong in his convictions
of that which was right, and had the courage of those convictions. He
ro.se to his greatest height in manliness, earnestness and eloquence when
exposing and denouncing wrongs indicted on any class of the great
brotherhood of man. The tears of the distressed and the sufterings of the
needy evoked his deepest sympathies and challenged his best energies on
their behalf.
Our beloved brother was a connexional man, emphr.tically so, being
ever ready to sacrifice personal comforts, if need be, for the sake of the
greater interests of the Church. And such was the catholicity of his
spirit and the largeness of his heart that the prosperity of the Church
universal became the l)urden of his greatest desire and the subject of his
constant prayer.
We deeply mourn his loss to the Church. He was a good man ; not a
shadow rests upon his name. An instructive })reacher, a ailigent pastor,
a careful and conscientious administrator has been taken from our ranks
— taken when as yet his sun had only reachtd its ze litli, taken in the
fulness of his strength, while bending to the reaping with his fellow-
reapers in the whitened harvest field. So sharp the afliliction and sudden
that no words of tender farewell could be spoken, and no testimony given
as to present assurances or future hopes. In his more lucid moments
during his illness, there was the look of sweet affection and tender solici-
tiule most touching to witness ; utterance, however, was impossible. But
we have the memory of a godly life, which is better than the testimony
of the dying hour. That he daily lived in the love and fear of Cod is our
comfort and the comfort of his sorrow-stricken home.
On the 12th of April, after a most impressive service held in Gore
Street Church, attended by a large concourse of sympathetic friends,
fraternal hands gently laid his body in the tomb in the assurance of a
glorious resurrection. We lament his absence from the Church militant
but rejoice in the belief that he is enrolled in the Church triumphant.
We believe in God.
By His hand the boon was given,
He has taken but His own,
Lord of earth, and Ood of heaven, •
Evermore, Thy will be done.

WILLIAM STALLWOOD.
Brother William Stallwood was born of staunch Methodist parents, in
the township of Oneida, near Hagersville, July 22, 1873, and was con-
verted under the ministry of Rev. J. H. Robinson, in IS'JL He received
a fuller baptism at a re"ival conducted by the Rev. A. Browning in
Hagersville, and at the same time heard the " woe is unto me if I preach
not the Gospel." He was at that time teaching school, and immediately
began to study preparatory to the ministry. After fulfilling all the
requirements of the Discipline, he was received as a probationer, and
stationed on the Oxford Centre Circuit, under the superintendency of
Rev. Thomas Boyd, July, 1895. His labors were, however, of short
duration, as, owing to pulmonary trouble, resulting ^rom a severe attack
of la grippe, he deemed it prudent to return to his mother's home for rest
and recuperation, hoping that in a short time he would be able to return
to his Master's work ; but this hope never ripened into fruition. The fell
disease was too deeply seated to yield even to the most skilful treatment and
the most affectionate care. He lingered on, being cheered by the " good
hope through grace," until December 9, 1896, when he quietly crossed
the mystic river and entered into rest. He was a young man of great
promise, a devoted Christian, '' zealous of good works." He possessed a
commanding presence, good social qualities, more than ordinary pulpit
ability, and a good share of common-sense. In Hagersville, where he had
been known all his life, he was universally esteemed, and at Oxford
Centre he had so ingratiated himself into the hearts of the people that
the Official Board requested, if his health would permit, that he be again
sent to them. But God willed otherwise, and took him to his home in
heaven.

few indeed, and the death of the Rev. John Histon adds another name to
the increasing list of the honored dead of the Methodist ministry in this
country. He was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, England, August 8th,
1823. His parents were intelligent, God-fearing people, deeply inter-
ested in the Church of their choice, and trained him for righteousness.
When a lad of twelve years he "knew the Lord;" at once became a
member of the Church and thus enjoyed sixty-one years of delightful
fellowship with " the people called Methodists." His father educated
him with a view to mercantile life, and hoped that his son would share
with him the responsibilities of business, but the youth had no such
inclinations, and in his own mind resolved to preach the Gospel. Before
he had reached his seventeenth year he was licensed as a local preacher,
and on his eighteenth birthday preached three sermons in as many differ-
ent places, travelling many miles to accomplish the task. He came to
Canada in 1844 bringing with him, at his father's request, a stock of

merchandise, intending to engage i'l business for a short time in the city
of Montreal. He had only been in the country a few months when the
late Rev. Dr. Crofts, then Superintendent of the New Connexion
Methodist Church in Canada, laid hands on the young local preacher and
sent him to the Elizabethtown circuit. He was ordained in 1S46, and
received into full membership with the Conference in 1848. After his
reception into the Conference he spent a year in England, during the
most of which time he preached on the Gateshead circuit. It was during
this sojourn in the Old Land that his now sorrowing widow became his
bride. Returning to this country they successfully toiled together, endur-
ing many hardships in new and diificult fields, until in 18G5, with broken
health, he was obliged to seek a superannuated relation. It was thought
at that time that he had only a few months of life left, but by taking
great care of himself and with the blessing of a kind Prcvidejice he lived
to labor and do much genuine work during a long period of retirement
from the active relation. While in the active work of the ministry he
enjoyed the esteem and confidence of his brethren and was elected to
the chair of a district several times, as well as to the secretariate of the
Conference. His lack of early training caused him to long for knowledge,
and not only during his probation but always read and studied exten-
sively. Few young men coming from the theological schools knew
Methodist doctrine and Christian dogmatics better than he did. He was
an expository preacher, and carefully prepared his sermons, always
imparting wholesome spiritual food to the listener. Mr. Histon was a
successful soul-winner, and during his pastorate many were added to the
Church, notably in Elizabethtown, Henrysburg, Cavan and Owen Sound.
He was an excellent business man, and his charges wei'e the better for
his systematic manner of doing business. During the years of his retire-
ment he preached often and visited much, chiefly among the sick and
needy, and was as a co pastor to the ministers stationed in Burlington
during the past twenty-one years. He was profoundly interested in
missions, the circulation of the Scriptures and good literature, and for
many years looked after the interests of the Christian Guardian and
other periodicals in the community. His last sickness was brief but
painful, and was borne with the fortitude of a Christian. His testimony
was clear and definite ; he had not trusted in vain ; longed to enter the
abode of the saints, and gave his pastor many assuring words of trust and
hope in Christ. After fifty-two years' work as a Methodist minister he
was promoted on October 27fch. 1896. The late Rev. James Van Wyck,
President of the Conference, had charge of the funeral services, assisted
by his pastor and several of his ministerial friends. His remains rest in
Greenwood Cemetery, Burlington, but his works do follow him. His
quiet, inoffensive, peaceable, consistent and busy life is "as ointment
poured forth."

MINUTES OF IBE HAMILTON
[1897
D. WAllD KKLLY.
The .subject of this l)rief ineiuoir was the eldest son and child of the
late Saimu'l Kelly, of I'ookton, who caiiie of old T. E. Loyalist stock,
his grandfather, John Kelly, having couir into Canada from N(!W Jersey
shortly after the American Hevolution. About 1820, Samuel Kelly came
into Windham, and settled near Lake llungar. There, on January 2C)th,
1827, 1). Ward Kelly was born. Being the first child of white parentage in
that neighborhood, he endured what we now call the "privations of the
early settlers," but scarcely realized them as such, being of a bright and
buoyant disposition and inclint^d to take the most hopeful view of life.
His early educational advantages were few. However, when but a youth
he began to take work as a local preacher, first in the New Connexion
Church, and afterwards in the .Methodist Episcopal Church, since 1856
frecjuently acting as supply under tlie Presiding Elder ; and when, in 1871,
at the Niagara Conference, held at Hamilton, the question was asked by
the late Bisliop Kichardson, " Who are admitted on trial? " tlie answer
contained the names of D. Ward Kelly and eight otiiers. From that
time he remained in the active work until 1892, when lie took a stiper-
annuated relation, and afterwards settled in Norwich, in the pretty littlo
home where his family anticipated for him man}' years of peaceful quiet,
and where he died, August 31st, 18!)G. Bro. Kelly was teachable as a
child, always ready to receive suggestion and instruction in the spirit of
the disciple whom Jesus loved. He was a gentle spirit, and always car-
ried sunshine wjierever he went, and this rendered him popular with his
people, antl a welcome visitor in their homes. As a preacher, while his
discourses were not always after the pattern shown in the mount of theo-
retical homiletics, yet, being endowed with a vivid imagination, and more
than ordinary gifts of speech, and being tilled with " the Holy Ghost and
with faith," he could preach so as to move men's hearts, and in the
warmth of inspirational gospel discourse he was a man of real eloquence,
and early '"aining would have })laced him among the foremost of his
brethren. l*;ere are still many living who can attest to his powers as a
preacher, and ^i^iiecially as a revivalist. At times his speech was worthy
of the most fini-i-ed scholar. God made him a preacher, and many were
helped to an expe.-bnental acquaintance with God through his ministra-
tions. Our brother w.;^ married, in 1849, to Miss Susan Kinney, who
survives him. There are six living son-s and daughters, among whom are
Rev. S. Judson Kelly and Rev. T. Webster Kelly, B.A., both of the
Hamilton Conference. Bro. Kelly was stationed on the following cir-
cuits : East Oxford, Walsingham (twice), Rainham (twice), Nanticoke,
Hartford, Chippewa, Ancaster, Grand River, and Rookford, where the
parsonage, a beautiful property, was burned ; and it is believed that this
shock had much to do with the illness which afterwards caused his death.
The President of Conference, the late Rev. J. Van Wyck, assisted by
Revs. D. L. Brethour, J. H. Robinson, T. J. Atkins, and R. Walker,
conducted the funeral service, which was largely attended, about twenty
ministers being present. The iii( tnent was at Norwich. " They that
be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament ; and they that
turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."

Rrxolvcd, —That this Conference takes the earliest opportunity of
J laciufi; on record its deepest sorrow occasioned by the death of our late
beloved president, Hev. ,1. Van Wyck, R.A. The distinfjuished position,
in which our late lamented l)rother was placed by the metiibers of the
Conference, indicated the great esteem in which he was held and the
value placed upon his persona! character and eminent ministerial (pialifi-
catioub. In the death of our late President we have lost a mini'<tei' of
the hisrhest integrity and of uiuleviating devotion to the cause of (^hrist —
one who lived in tlie warm atl'ection of his bn'thren and eiij. ved the
confidence, not only of the entire Church, but of the community at large.
His jemoval amid the activities of an earnest ministerial life and high
oiHcial responsibility has fallen upon the Connexion with special severity.
We mourn most deeply this sore bereavement and bow in humble sub-
mission to the divine will. We commemi the stricken home to the
protection and guidance of God, and pray tor the alllicted widow and
children abvUidant consolation and grace.

We thank (mmI always on youi' lielialt', fir the !;rai'e of (lot! which is-
fji\en you l»y -lesus Christ that in everythin;,' ye are enrichedhy Him.
" For (j(»d is our lei-ord, how greatly we Ion;; after you all in the Itowelsof

more, in knowledge and in all judionent ; that ye may ai>|ii'o\e tliin;,'s

of Christ ; hein^' tilled with the fi'uits of ri^diteousness, wliich are hy.lesus

This apostolic salutation cinhodies and emphasizes the most inipt»rtant
Christian t,'races, to the attainment of whidi we would atl'ectionately ur^e
you to bestow the utmost diligence and /.eal. Jielievin^ it will mitiister
lo your ediiication and proHt, we propose to address you eoncerniiiL; those
thing's wliich pertain to experimental and practical ,1,'odliiu ss, rather than
of questions which ai'e of subordinate interest to the Chuirh of Christ.
Wit bring to you no new revelation of truth other than that which ye-
have leceived from the beginning. To write tlie .sam»> things to you to
us indee<l it is not grie\ous, and for you it is salutary and safe, if received
as a means of spiritual improxement.
It is only necessary to remind you that the chief end of our existence
as a Church is the promotion of the Spirit's work in our own hearts, an<l
the upl)uilding of the kingdom of Christ in the eaitli.
Tlie love and fellowship of the saints is the b(»nd of our uni(»n and the
ins])iration of our aggressive work. Tf we are to measure up to all the
manifold activities of our high calling in Jesus Christ, the utmost atten-
tion and care must l)e had to the development of our religious life.
Sp(!aking to you as pastors, we r(H>ogni/,e that the great end of the
ministry is the conversion of souls, and a Tiospel faithfully proclaimed
will nevei- fail to secure this grand result.
Ti will avail us little that multitudes tlock to our ministry, pi-aise our
.sermons, and manifest tlie highest regard for our pei-sons and otfice, all this
is nothing in the accon^plishment of our real work, uidess believei's are
cditied and the Lord add unto His Church such as are being saved ; for
that, and that only, will al)ide the fiery ordeal of the last great day, and
be the crown of oui- rejoicing, when every man's work shall be ti'i(vl of
>vhat sort it is.

Wliil»> we would rcrogiiiz*' the suprcinc iinportiiiict' of liflclity on tin;
juirt of tli«' Christian ministry, suIUt us lo remind you of flic Vi'liiLions
you sustain to this <,'iviit work ; ii spiritual ministry and a savrd, sanrtilit'd
people, are essential to a true repi-esentation of the visible Ixwly of Christ;
lienee your duties are as hindin;,' and important in your sphere as those of
the i>astor are in his. A Church whose memhership is spiritually alive
and alert will never fail to ^row in usefuliu'ss, ettieieney, and a^,'j,'ressive
jHiwer. If Zion lanjj;uishes atnl the world aiound you remains unsaved,
d(» n(»t hastily conclude that the fatdt lies above and beyond the limits of
y(»ur individual n^sponsibility. lie candid and faithful to your own souls
in searching out the causes of spiritual dearth, even thouj,'h it result in a
«'onviction (tf your own unfulfilled responsibilities. We aic livim; in
dangerous times — "the piping times (»f peace" — the temptation of the
ag(! is to rest satisfied with material prosperity, rather than with sjiiritual
life and growth. Hence we would urge you to i-'-member that nothing
promotes the real prosperity of Zion which does not minister to the
courage, tlui devotion, and purity of the Church.
You uuiy eulogize the gifts of godly ministers, you may bring archi-
tecture to your aid, by the erection of imj)osing (lothic structures, you
may line your pews with costly fabrics, and fill youj- on-hestras with
skilled musicians, yet if there be no going-out of the soul towai-d Go<l, no
un -vn-ved self-surrender upon the altar of the cross, no growth in faith
ami hope and love amoi.^- you, what iire all these things but u'sthetic
Howers scattered around the place, where nicjn have a name to live but
yet are de.id.
Mere professionalism counts for nothing. The worltl is calling for a
pure, honest Christ-like interpretation of the Gospel. We must take the
Golden Rule from its bright .setting in the teaching of our T.(Ord, and trans-
late it into actual life. The law of U)ve in all its most delicate shades of
application to spirit, word cand motive, is the lav of all true Christian
living. In a word, the religiim of Jesus Christ must crystallize into
commanding goodness. Its spirit of holiness and reverence must flow
into all the paths of every-day life, and its visions of spiritual Ixiauty
must l)lossom and ripen into the noblest exhibitions of manhood which
the world can ever hope to witness. Such a religion is not simply
"morality touched with emotion," but spirit- al life, giving itself for the
service of God and mankind, and going out into the world with a life-
mastering devotion for Christ. Hence a Church is not an end in itself,
but a means to an end lying beyond. Its very care of its members is
with a view, not merely of making their salvation personally secure, but
of making them instrumentally efficient as co-workers with Christ for
men. We become like God as we drink in the spirit of Christ who went
about doing good. Nothing is more clearly taught by Christ and His
apostles than that the great end for wliich a man is called of God, and
sanctified by the Divine Spirit, is that he may benefit his generation by
a useful and consecrated life. It is impossible to feel this truth too deeply
or estimate its importance too highly.
The soul of man, with all its amazing resources, and the fine adjust-
ment of its faculties, wsis never intended to find its end and aim in
Laodicean indifference or selfish ease. The very law of its being demands

tht' calling,' to which our Master licckoiis you. It is yours to fulHl the
ministries of Mis love, and to cover the rou;(h wastes of human lives
with the hlooni and fruita;(e of heavenly j^'race.
Our Gospel is a ^osjjel of service — a service which is the unselfish out-
going' of inci'cy and ht»lp t(» others. To he useful in this wiiy is tlu<
l»ri;ihtest distinction of which huina?j natui-e is cjipahle. Even the

]»rother's keeper ; if he is to he rescued from dani^er anil saved from sin,
it must he lar^jelv throu;;h your instruiuentalitv. The Church which
Ndeks to make itself useful in winnin.i( men to the divine ideals of godly
living "shall be called sought out, a city not f(»rsaken, an eternal e.xcel-
Jency, and the j(»y of many generations."
Suffer us also to remind you that ti»e measure of your usefuhu'ss in the
'J\I Hter'.s service will he largely determined hy the fulness of your
«piritQal life. It is this which will enrich your experience, ennoble your
'Character, and invest you with moral energy for work. Without this, all
■C'lurch machinery and activity will be of little avail. This fulness of the
spirit of love will give you a position and an inHuence in the moral world
•»vhich you could not possibly attain or hold without it.
Tn using these terms w? do not wish to convey to your minds the idea
tthvt the work of grace in your .souls is so cimiplete that subsecjuent
impnwement is not to be sought after. There is no such j)oint to be
.tirrived at. The soul of man is always evolving capability for improve-
ment ; the mystic waters of the sanctuary alwaj's deepen and widen.
Iliches, pleasures, honors and social influence are but the small dust of
the balance, when laid by the side of a holy life.
Christian perfection is a docti-ine pertaining to the very cream of reli-
gious experience, wliich, in these days of evolution and change, we would
faithfully and affectionately urge upon you not to lose sight of, either in
theory or practice. It is not something njerel}' ideal and speculative, but
actual and attainable. It does not point to regi(ms serial and romantic,
but to the land of promise ; and you are called upon by a voice sweeter
than angels ever employed to go up and take possession of this glorious
heritage. It is the " one thing needful." It is the " pearl of great price."
It is the sum and substance of all exjjerimental religion. It is the
greatest and best work of God, because it more distinctly evolves the
perfection of his own nature, and secures the happiness and well-being of
his moral creation.
Moreover, as those appointed to watch over you with godly jealousy,
we would strongly urge upon you the duty and privilege of prayer. This
was a distinguishing feature in the earthly life of our blessed Lord and
Master. He often went apart to pray ; and so for you all, prayer is a

has eelehrated, what e\il it has averted, what ;,food it has secured, what

to the world. Lookini,' forth fmm our watch-towei-, upon the present

in*,', *' Prove nie now, and see if 1 will not open the windows of heaven
and pour you out a blessing', that there shall not be room to contain."
The sif,'ns of the times are full of hope. We are especially pleased to
note the healthy enthusiasm there is in connection with our vouii"
j)eoi)le's orj,'anizations for Christian work. Stirred with a ;,'reat passion
for Jesus Christ, they are strikin<< out int<i new nu'thods of work junony

Deeply conscious of their responsibility to God for theii- own a^e and
their own influence, a passion for service is pushing' them foith in saiu'ti-
fied a?tivities, so that with the sweet spirit of Christ's redemptive love
they nuiy lessen the world's sorrow and sin. Give them all the encour-
agement you possibly can in this sacred endea\or, for the future of the
Church is largely in their hands.
In all (juestions of social and moral reform, we trust youi- voice and
vote will be strictly in harmony with .the mind of the iMaster. When-
ever the opportunity oft'ers aiul the occasion requires, let it l)e known in
the most effective way that you are the uncompromising foe to all forms
of organized or legalized wrong. As Christians, let us live up to the con-
viction that "Righteousness exalteth a nation, l)Ut sin is a reproach to any
I)eople."
In our Sabbath Schools we wH)uld urge you to recognize the nujst fruit
ful fielrl of Christian endea\-or, as the statistics of our work will
abundantly prove. If we fail to improve the golden oppoitunity afforded
amid the susceptible and plastic conditions of childhood and youth, how
can we reasonably hope for any large measures of success amid the more
rigid and fixed conditions of maturer years. By all means let the Church
put forth her supreme effort to save the children, and see that they are
.securely gathered within her fold.
As Methodists, we have tested the far-reaching importance of the social
means of grace. Our fellowship meetings, prayer-meetings and (ilass-
meetingshave proved themselves time and again to be a tower of strei gth
to our Hpiritual life ; they have been channels through which God's sus-

taining grace has been cominunieated to many a troubled sou). As the
appointed hour for fellowship or prayer conies round, do not forget the
assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some is ; by your un-
failing presence and the heartiness with which you take part in the
exercises of the service, sJu)w your warm appreciation of these time-
honored means of grace.
In these days, when so many strange gospels are being vigorously
pushed to the front, it is more than ever necessary that you be diligent
and prayerful students of God's Word. Keep the life of Christ distinctly
before you .as a clear and commanding ideal of what you ouglit to be. If
any of you have been running to and fro, seeking light and finding none,
then lake your place as learners at the feet of Jesus, and He will unfold
to you a plan of life which will make you a blessing wherever you go.
He will lead you up into the sacred places, where the glory of the Lord
will shine brightly around you. As Methodists, there is a freedom and
expansiveness in our polity and methods, which place great possibilities of
usefulness within our reach. 8ee to it that j'our endeavors and your en-
thusiasms stop short of nothing less than completeness in the work where-
unto you are called. The supreme object of the Gospel is to save men,
body and soul, for time and eternity. So much is being said to-day about
ministering to the material needs of men, and putting a better face upon
the social conditions of society, that the soul-saving functicm of Christianity
is in danger of being forgotten altogether. The peril of the Church to-day
is to be seen in the tendency there is to drop down to the level of an
ethical society or a mere sociological movement. In these days, wlien
everything is made to depend on environment, it must needs be that such
offences come, but all social and economic remedies which are not born
out of the remedial heart of Christ, are but new Babel towers, from which
men will flee in confusion to renew their sad and fruitless search for
peace and rest. Only by the way of the Cross, and by the door of the
" new commandment," can civilization enter its final rest. Then shall the
kingdom of peace be established on the earth, its foundation shall be
righteousness, and its law shall be love. Beloved brethren, let us hold
fact by the old Gospel. Live up to its privileges, rejoice in its blessings,
and it will make you men of wondrous power in this doubting, drifting
age. See to it that your lives are an honest inte'-^retation of New Testa-
ment Christianity.
Strive after that intense spirituality of mind and purpose by which you
can rise with Christ out of the bondage of worKUy striving and selfish
ambition into the glorious liberty and the splendid experience of Christ-
possessed manhood.
The crying need of the Church to-day is a great awakening of Christian
conscience, a great revival of Christian living. Oh, that all our churches
were made up and filled with men and women who know by blessed ex-
perience what the " new creation " means ! As ve enter upon a new year
of religious activity, we invite you to renew with us your vows of conse-
cration to our risen Lord. Under such conditions you will be " bold to
take up and firm to sustain the consecrated Cross." Time is swiftly
hurrying you onward ; the shadows of evening will soon iwU around you.
By your beneficence, your love, your devotion, by caring for everybody,

and never reckoning your work done till the hist man has t\)un(l shelter
at the Cross, let it be known that you intend to make a life record of
which you will not he ashamed in the great day of the Lord. In this
world of i.ppalling uncertaint}- you cannot afford to he anything less than
faithful servants in the Master's vineyard. Wc camiot tell what solenui
and momentous issues may be unfolded during the year upon wiiich we
have entered, and would not if we could. Ikit like the years which have
gone before, mystery, shadows and gloom will mingle with its bright and
sunnier scenes. It will bring its nights of weeping, as well as its days of
joy. Before we address you again there will l)e many a vacant seat, and
many a well-known voice will be hushed in the silence of the toml). What
then"? Shall we dread the great hereafter? God forbid. Life is given
to us here that we may know how to live there. The etei'iial life l)eyond
will not be essentiall)* different from this, it wiU still be the doing of (Jod's
will. To live to God now is the best and oidy preparation for the life
beyond.
Oh, that each in the day of His coir.ing may say,
" I have fought my way through ;
I have tinisheil the work thou diilst give me to tlo."
Oh, that each from his Lord mav receive the glad word,
" Well and faithfully .lou'e !
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."

ARE you not promising that one of these fine summers you will
indulge yourself in that long-dreamed-of "trip to the Old
Country " ? If so, you will get a very good idea of the chiet
places of interest to visit and the most noteworthy historical associa
tions of each in MR. Canniff Haight'S delightful book,
HERE AND THERE
IN THE HOME LAND
England, Scotland and Ireland as seen by a Canadian.
Note the Chapters. ^ ,^ ^
On the Ocean and on Shore -A Run into Yorkshire and a Tramp over
a Moor — Bristol and its Neighborhoou — Cheddar — Tintern and Chepstow — Bath
by a Roundabout Way — London — A Day at Windsor -A Day at Hampton
Court — Warwick — Stratford on Avon — Chester — From London to Glasgow —
Glasgow — Through the Trosachs — Callander and Stirling — Edinburgh— Abbots-
ford, Melrose, Dryburgh— A Visit to Ayr— A Run Through Ireland— Last Trip
to Scotland.
There's a tempting bill of fare for you ! More than 600 large
octavo pages in beautiful clear type ; and as the book contains 361
splendid photo-engravings, every other page is a revelation of the
majestic cathedrals and stately public buildings, the old historic places,
and the delightful scenery of the storied British Isles. A few quiet
evenings spent in looking over these pictures and reading the accom-
panying text will be second in enjoyment only to an actual visit i:i
person to the scenes treated of.
^* THESE ARE HARD TIMES ^^
At least so most people say. Not everybody has $3.00 to spend or.
a book, much though they may covet its possession. We found this
out in trying to sell this beautiful volume, and now have come to thf
resolution that we'll cut thatt price right in half. Actually we are
prepared to send a copy of ** HERE AND THERE IN THE
HOME LAND'' in cloth binding to any address on receipt of a
dollar and a half. '
Send us $1.50 and the book is yours, postpaid.
