To the Parishioners of St. Luke's Cathedral and Parish
Church : \

Two years have passed since I was inducted by the
Bishop as your Rector, two happy and peaceful years, wliich
have been full of joy and satisfaction to me. Desiring to
%\VQ you an account of the work done in the Parish during
these two years, and to draw your attention to what we hope
to do in the future, let me first express my profound grati-
tude to God for His blessing upon us, and upon our efforts,
and my hearty thanks to you for your active co-operation,
and your many kindnesses shown to me and mine. How
great have been the privileges which we have enjoyed.
First and foremost the greatest of all privileges, the show-
ing forth and pleading every day of the Blessed Memorial of
our Lord's Eternal Sacrifice. As Job of old offered burnt
ott'fefrings for his children " continually," and as the Lord
ordained in His Church that the lamb should be sacrificed
daily in the Temple for His people, so is the whole congre-
gation sanctified and blessed by the daily offering of the
Memorial of the Blessed Sacrifice of the " Lamb of God that
taketh away the sins of the wor'd." And although it be
true that only a few value and use the privilege of this
daily Communion, yet through this offering " continually "
we are brought " nigh unto God," and our worship hallowed
by union with ** Angels and Archangels and all the Hosts
I of Heaven in lauding and magnifying" our heavenly king.
J But, if it may be, we are not yet able to hold this sweet
Icornm union with our Lord daily, let us try to realize and
Irei^iember that the Church never ceases pleading for us the

Menioi'i.il wliich Ho lias coiiiniandod, ami let us try to (it
our.selves for daily coninumion with lliiii hereafter, hy at
least a conununion with Him on the day He has liallowed
and made j^dorious hy His resurrection, the first day of the
week, which we call the Lord's Day.

Secondly, let me remind you of the privilege of dail//
Morning and Evening Prayer. How .sad it is to see so few
meet in the House of our Father to seek His ble>singou the
new day, or to give Him thanks for its mercies. Surelv
there are many niore than those eight or ten faithful ones,
who could, if the f/ would, spare the 20 minutes to come to
Morning and Evening Prayers. What lots of time can be
found lor amusement, for idle visiting, tfec, &c , hut the
children of God can find no time to worship Him. How i.g
it that in Lent so many can find their way to God's house,
but at no other time 1 Is then going to Church a ])enance,
a mortification of the flesh, a thing to be practiced only as a
Lenten discipline 1 Surely that is to mistake the true idea
of worship, it is contrary to the teaching of the Spirit who
cries " I was glad when they said unto me we will go into'
the House of the Lord." Well might the Lord say, " Where
are my children?" My dear Parishioners, let me urge youi
affectionately to esteem more highly this privilege of daily
prayer, and to use the House of your Father more frequently
as a House of Prayer Bring thither your daily needs, your
daily blessings, and let God sanc*'fy and bless them and you.

The work accomplished in connection with the Church
■will be referred to under the various branches of Guild
Work. The Rev. Mr. Allison continued to hold the posi-
tion of Assistant Minister until Jan., 1894, when, owing* to
the state of his health he was obliged to seek a milder climite.
The Eector has been without a regular assistant since fliis

hen, owing' to

Slant since fhij^

departui'o, hut the valuable services of the Rev. Dr. Hullock
were secured for the Sundays. About the middle of Janu-
ary the Hector was obliged to give U|) all parocliiul work,
nnd was coniined to the house with bronchial trouble until
Ash Wednesday. During his illness, the Dean, Dr.
]>ullock, and Mr. Willis most kindly took the services lor
hiin. The Rj^ctor also gratefully ackuou'ledges the assistance
of the Rev. Mr. Ruggles and others ou various occasions. The
S(;rvices at the Missions of St. Alban's and St. Augustine's
have been faithfully sustained on the Sunday evenings by
%\\e Lay Readers, Messrs. lirowu, Bowman, W'iswoli and
]*'enn.

There are two or three things to which I desire particu-
larly to draw the attention ol' the congregation, in the hope
that by their active co operation they may be accomplished iu
the near future. First there is the debt upon the (Jliuich, a
debt incurred chieHy in the putting in a new roof and
making alterations in the nave of the Church some few
years ago. This debt consists of a mortgage of S5,000, on
which we are paying 5 per cent interest. Surely we ought
not to rest content until that debt is paid. Provision was
made in the estimates last Easter to set aside $250 towards
a Sinking Fund, but if this is all that we do, it will be a
long time before the debt is paid, and in the meantime we are
])aying an equal amount in interest The Rector started a
6c. Fund in connection with the debt in October, 1893, and
although this etibrt was not taken up as generally as I hoped
by the congregation, it will realise upwards of $800 by the end
of the year. I hope that this fall more ladies will offer
theuLselves as collectors for this fund, and another year will
see a larger sum raised by this means. Then there is also
the debt upon the Rectory, consisting oi two mortgages, one

mmm

■■M

> \

for $4,000 at 5 per cent., and the other for $1,500 at 6 per
cent. ; but as the Kector pays $400 per annum rent for the
Kectory, this more than covers the interest and taxes, so that
it is no direct ex]»ense to tlie congregation. Nevertheless, it
would be advisable to pay off this debt also as soon as pos-
sible, and then it would really become a Kectory and belong
to the Church. During tlie summer of 1895, an addition
was built to St. Luke's Hall, for the building of which $1,500
was borrowed on mortgage at 4 per cent, but such favour
able terms were secured in connection with the arrangement,
that in the course of five years, the rental of the rooms will
repay one half of the amount borrowed.

Another object which should secure the immediate atten-
tion and financial assistance of the con2frej?ation is the
purchase of a now Organ. Ever since 1 entered upon my
Kectorate this subject has been before us, and soon after
Easter, 1894, % subcommittee of the vestry was formed to
take the matter in hand and sec what could be done. The
Committee set to work energetically to canvass and ask for
subscriptions, and they have met with fair success, but the
sum promised is still far from adequate for the purpose.
The old Organ is not such an one as the Cathedral Church of
St. Luke should possess, and the Committee hope that gen-
erous subscriptions on the part of all members of St. Luke's
will enable them before another ye'xv passes away to order a
fine and noble instrument suitable to the Cathedral of the
first Colonial Diocese of the Church of England, and worthy
of the high office of worship for which it is designed. The
amount asked for is $6,000, towards which sum upwards of
$1,500 or one fourth, is already promised. Are there not
some who will give generously to this object 1 One lamented
member of the congregation has left by will $250, the late

f^'

l^ector, ihe Kev. W. F>. King, has proinisod SIOO, another
gentleman has subscribed S40, as a Memorial to a dear little
child gone to Paradise; are there not others who have loved
ones in Paradise who will follow this example ] How mucli
more useful and fitting is such a Memorial, than a mere stone
of marble erected over the grave, of no use to either th.e
dead or the living.

Another object wo hope to accomplish in the near future
is the erection of St. Augustine's Chapel across the North
West Arm. For this pur|>ose the late Kector laboured ear-
nestly, and left behind him $000 in cash, besides stone pur-
chased for tiie buihliug. The original design, however,
proved too expensive, and the r)uilding Committee of the
Vestry are now seeking to obtain a more simple and suit-
able design for the Chapel, and it is hoped that St. Augus-
tine's will be built and ready for use before another year
passes.

A brief history of St. Luke's, and an account of the work
accomplished during the years 1892-4, are ])resented to the
congregation, in the hope, that what has already been accom-
plished by God's blessing may not only prove an interesting
recital, but also an incentive and encouragement to fresh
efibrts in the future. " Let us do good unto all men and
specially unto tliem that are of the household of faith," says
the Apostle. The Church of St. Luke is our particular
'* household of ftiith," and it ought to be therefore the special
care and interest of every member of the congregation, from
the least to the greatest. It should be our greatest joy to
make its services more beautiful, and its labours more
abundant, and its beneficent influences more widespread and
effective year by year. Let us then each and all " pray for
the peace of * our ' Jerusalem," and lend our aid in every

<-^

way that lies in our power with hand and purse also. ' to
make ' our ' Jeiusaleni a praise in the earth," tliat not only
to us as UKhviduals, but also as a congregation, our Lord and
AJaster may say at the last, '• Well done "

June 1st, 1846, j\Ir. Cogswell iutiniated that he was willing
to submit the report of a committee appointed to build a
Chapel of Ease, the consideration of such a report was
objected to on tiie ground " ihat the Parish had no control
whatever over the matter,"

Mr. Cogswell, however, seems to have gone on with the
matter himself and to have begun the erection of a Chapel
on the prevsent site of St. Luke's, with the idea, as it seems,
that the Chapel should be served by his son, the Eev. \Vm.
Cogswell, then Curate of St. Paul's, and perhaps also with
the hope that it might become a separate Parish under his
son's Rectorship.

In 1846, the Rev. Wm Cogswell fell into ill health, and •
the Rev. VVm Bullock, at that time Rector of Digby, N. S., '
took his duty in June of that year. At a meeting of the'
Vestry of St. Paul's, held Sept. 4th, 1846, the employment"
of the Rev. VVm. JJullock, was considered and accepted. A^''
last the necessity fcir a Chapel of Ease became so urgent'^
that at a meeting of Vestry, held Monday, March 1st, 1847^
** It having been brought to the notice of the meeting tha^
the Parish is sufiering from want of accommodation in th'®
Church," it was r'^«olved to call a meeting of all person"
interested in the subject of a Chapel of Ease. This meeting*
was held on the 3rd day of April, when resolutions weril^*
))assed requesting the Church Wardens and Vestry of St'
Paul's '* to obtain a conveyance to be made to them in fet*;
simple of the lot of land whereon the Chapel of Ease, parti;
couipleted, now stands, containing a power to mortgage th
same for the purpose of raising money to complete the salt
building," thnt they should " raise the sum of £2,500 b^
mortgage of the said land premises," —that "on the comple-
tion of the said building, the said mortgage be paid off or

J^'

m iWUf-greau-X-^iBi ^Bgl

reduced to tlie lowest possible amount by the proceeds of
sales of the Good-will of Peivs \oy a limited number of
years. '' ,

These resolutions were adopted at the Annual Eistor
Vestry Meeting, held on Monday, Ajuil 5th, 1847. At
this meeting the Rev. Wni. Cogswell's resignation was read,
and the Kector authorized to secure the services of the Kev.
VVm. Bullock as Curate in Mr. Cogswell's place, and at a
Vestry Meeting held on 2nd September, Mr. Bullock was
duly appointed.

On the 24th September the Church Wardens submitted
to the Vestry the draft of a mortgajje and bond to the Hon.
Henry Hezekiah Cogswell for the sum of £2,500, in pursu-
'Hce of the resolution passed in April.

At the Easter Meeting of April 24th, 1848, the Wardens
'ave an account of the cost of the Chapel the debt remaining
pon it and the disposal of the pews. Finally, after four
ears of waiting, the Chapel of Ease was opened for Divine
Service on Sunday, May 4th, 1848, and the charge of it,
vith a general superintendence of the parochial duties and
he Sunday School, Avaj assigned to Rev. Wm. Bullock.
-*^rhe limits were then fixed " iJeginning on Water Street at .
.he foot of Wallace Street, up the centre of Wallace Street
.0 Barrington Street, thence northerly up the centre of Bar-
rington Street to Chapel Hill, up that street and along the
centre of Spring Garden Road to the North West Arm."

In April, 1849, the debt on the Chapel of Ease was
reported to be .£3,000, and the pew rents were put down as
£300. The old organ of St Paul's was voted to be trans-
ferred to the Chapel of Ease.

It was not long before the division of the Parish began
to be mooted, and at a meeting held on Monday, 18th Feb.,

A w

1850, a committee consistiu^r of tlie Church Wardens,
(Me.ssi's. Fairbanks and Ritchie), Peter Lynch, J .1. Sawyer,
and J 1>. lUand, was appointed to report on the division of
tlie Parish. This report was prc<3uted at the Easter vestry
meeting, on Monday, April 1st, 1850, and the report was
ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the Parishioners,
but whether tJie re|)ort wa-< favourable to division or not, is
not said. Tlie question came up again at a meeting held on
Tuesday, December 8rd, 1850, when it was moved by Dr.
Almon and seconded by J. B. Bland, '*That it is expedient
that the Parish be divided." The motion, however, was
negatived by a vote of 40 to 20. This settled the question
for some time, and it was not again brought up until 1855.
Meanwhile the liabilities of the Chapel of Ease became sc
burdensou.e and the claims of the mortgagor so urgent, that
at a meeting held May 8th, 1851, the Church Wardens weri'
" authorised and requested, at the expiration of three months>
and after due notice, to sell at Public Auction, the Chape^
of Ease and the land upon which it stands and appurtenan*'
thereto, and to give a good title thereto on behalf of th*
Parish, and out of the proceeds of the sale to, pay off, in th?
first place, the sum of £2,500 with interest, and any othei
debts which may be due by the Parish." Tlfis resolutioi^
was passed with only one Dissentient, but it appears nevei!
to have been carried into effect, on the contrary, some efforf.
must been made to relieve the Chapel of the debt, for on th4
22nd day of October, of that year, (1851), the Chapel of
Ease was consecrated by the Right Reverend Hibbert Binney,
D. D., Bishop of Nova Scotia, and was " dedicated to
Almighty God and Divine Worship, by the name of Saint!
Luke the Evansrelist.

A bell had been presented to St. Luke's in April, 1851,
by the Hon. M. B. Almon.

J***'

Church of St. Luke the Evangelist.

At this time the Chancel of St. Luke's hail not been
built, and the vestry was a small room at the noithwest end
of the Cluireh. The Pupilt stood in front of the Communion
Table in the usual position in Churches of that period; the
Organ and Choir were in the AVest Gallery, and someone
was employed to lead the Choir, since we find the sum of
£20 ai)proi)riated at a vestry meeting of St. Paul's held 8th
April, 1850, to obtain a person to lead the Choir of the
Chapel of E;ise." '1 he black gown was at that time worn
when preaching. The Pulpit was the gift of Admiral
Frederick Bullock, the brother of the Rector, The bell
presented by Mr. Almon was placeij in position in the tower
by a party of bluejackets from the Flag Ship then on the
Station, out of compliment to the Pev. Mr. Pullock, who,
before taking Holy Orders, had borne a commission as
Lieutenant in the Poyal Navy. Mr Bullock continued to
act as Curate of St. Paul's with sj)ecial charge of St. Luke's,
until the division of the Parish when he became the first
Pector of St. Luke's. A second Curate was also employed
at St. Paul's./^'he subject of division of the Parish of St.
Paul's came up again at a meeting held August ISth., 1855,
"^but was not entertained. At the annual Easter Meeting
March 24th, 1856, it was moved by Mr. T. C. Kinnear, and
seconded by Mr. J. J. Sawyer, "That a special meeting be
called for the purpose of taking into consideration the ex-
pediency of dividing the Parish of St. Paul's into the
separate Parishes of St. Paul's and St. Luke's and that the
Church Wardens be requested to give notice of such meeting
within three months from this date." This Parish Meeting
was held on Wednesday, May 21st, 1856, when Mr.

yf i C"'— ^'' — '

Kinnear's motion for a division, which was seconded by
Mr. M n. Salter, was carried by a vote of 30 to 28. and a
ciimniittee of 7, 3 from St. Luke's, 3 from St. Paul's, and
one fiom Dartmouth, was appointed to consult with the
I)ishop and define the limits of the two Parishes. Nothing,
however, came of this action, probably the majority in
favour of division was so small that it was not considered
advisable to ca-rv it out at that time. The matter of division
then remained iu abeyance until April 23rd. 1858, when a
Public Meeting was held, on a requisition to the Rector
signed by 6t parishioners and pew-holders "to consider the
propriety of dividing the J^arish of St. Paul's." On this
occasion the matter was taken up actively, and it was re-
solved on mot ,j of Mr. T. C Kinnear seconded by Mr.
Peter Lynch, " That the time has arrived when the division
of the Parish of St. Paul's should take place, and that it be
divided into the Parishes of St. Paul's and St. Luke's, — and
that a Committee ot Pew-holders of St. Paul's and St. Luke's
Churches be appointed to define the limits of the respective
Parishes, and to make all other arrangements, an umpire to
be chosen from the Paiish of Dartmouth. This motion was
carried by a vote of 27 to 15, and the following committee
was appointed : from St. Paul's, Messrs. P. C. Hill, J. T. A.
Creigliton and J. W. Kitchie ; -from St. Luke's, Col. Myers,
Mr. P. Lynch and W. C. Silver. This committee, of which
Mr. Peter Lynch was chairman,, reported at a meeting held
Friday, May 7th, and the report was discussed and adopted
at a later meeting held on Tuesday, May 11th. The boun-
dary between the two Parishes was fixed, commencing " at
the shore of the harbour at the foot of Morris Street and
running from thence, westerly through the centre of that
street until it reaches the western boundary of the old

At the Easter Meeting of 18G0, it was resolved to jnir-
chase the lot on the coiner of Queen and Morris Streets,
which was done, tlie price paid being $435 Gas was also
fii'st used in the Church about this time. The total income
of St Luke's for tlie ]»revious year amounted to $2,532.37,
including a special collection of $i^G3.<*^0 to pay for putting
in the gas.

At the Easter Meeting of 18G1, a resolution of regret at
the departui'e of the Kev. H. H, lUillock was passed unani-
mously, and it was resolved that his annual snbscri))tion to
the Widows and Orphans Eund of the Diocese, '' be defrayed
from the collection taken up in the Church on Easter Sunday
in each year, in aid of that Eund." At the same meeting it
was also resolved to obtain a curate for St. Luke's, the
salary to be c£150, and quarterly collections to be made
toward his stipend. The Kev. John Abbott was offered the
curacy and accepted it on the Gth April, 186L At a Vestry
Meeting held September 10th, 1861, a committee of five
were appointed to act with the Rector and Church WarJf^ns
in erecting a Parish School House At the annual Easter
Meeting of 1862, the Eector rej)orted the sum of nearly
£600 promised towards the School House, and a reso-
lution was passed authorizing the committee to proceed with
the building and guaranteeing £1,000 for that purpose.
The School House was erected with the idea of usinjr it for

^ i

••* ■ 1]

n, PMi'ocliiiil Sclioul, and in 18G3 a nitu'tin;:^ of Vestry by roso-
Intiun authorized its use for tlie Sunday School, and also,
a.s soon as ))ro])ei teacheis could be obtained, for a Parocljial
Day fScliool, in which, '' while opm for tho admission of
chiidrcai of all denominations, the instruction to l)e given in
tluim shall be strictly and uualteiably in accordiiuce witli
tiiG I)octrin(! and jtrinciples of the (Jhurch of Kngland."

At the annual Easter Meeting of 18G4-, the Hector made
the following jivopofal to the i)arishioners : — *' To furnish
the Church Wardens with .£400 or so much more as shall
be sufficient to cover all the expense of erecting and finish-
ing an ai)proi)riate (.'hancel ior St. Luke's Church." The
Ivector also appended a jtofa to this ])roposition with regard
to the ])urchase of a sma'l addition to tluj land already
occuj)ied by the Church. At the A^'estry Meeting held on
April, 4th, 1864, the Rector informed the Vestry that the
l>ishoj) had availed himself of the permission and authority
of the Queejj to make the Church of St. Luke the
Cathedral Church and to appoint Catliedi'al officers This
arrangement was in no way to interfi3re with the vested
interests of tlie Parishioners, but there would be a Dean and
4 Canons to form a clun)ter and the 20,000 acres of land,
known as the " Chai)ter land" would be available for the
improvement of the Cathedral. The Vestry accepted this
])roposition with much gratification. At this same meeting
the report of the Parochial School which had been opened
in June of the previous year was highly favourable, showing
98 pupil-i in attendance, 1 pupil teacher working and another
to be added after Easter; fees paid £31.10 and with a
supply of books, maps, &c , worth £53. 16.3d.

A Meeting of Vestry was called S ptember 2nd, 1864,
at which the Petition for the consecration of the Chancel

h^^

was signnd for prosontation to the Disliop, and tlio arUcles
of agreciinont b(!tvveon tlio IJisliop ami the. (A»rpoi'ation of
St. Luke's roai)ectinj,' tlio erection of 8t. Luke's into a
Catliedral Church were diawn up on A))ril 11th, 187."), the
liector, now aLso con.stitut<!<l Dean, infonned tlio Vestry that
the cost of the Chancel had exceeded the estimate hy nearly
X400, exclusive of the stained window which would bo
presented by the IJishop. The cost of removing the Organ
from the West Gallery to the Oigan Chamber £22.10 was
ordered to be defrayed by the Parish, and the purchase of
the lot held by the Dean behind the Chancel was recuni-
mended at the price of j£175.

In 18G5 the question of re-ceiling the Church was first
proposed at a A^estry Meeting by iMr. Harvey, but at a latcu*
meeting October ISth, LSGo, it was rerolved to ])OstpoDe this
improvement. In consequence of the adoption of an entirely
new system for Public Education, tlie Dean saw that it
would be impossible to sustain the Parochial School as he
had hoped and intended, and it was therefore resolved by
the Vestry to let the school house and basement room to
the Provincial Board of Education for S3G0 and $340 respect-
ively. In October 1866 however it was resolved " that the
Commissioners of Schools be allowed to occupy the school
house without charge for rent during 1867 provided the
denominational school houses be thus given." As this
condition however was not complied with, a demand was
subsequently made upon the commissioners for rent for that
year, but it does not appear to have been successful. In
1870 it was proposed to substitute iron pillars for the
wooden ones in the Church, but as it was found that iron
pillars would cost about $1,000 the idea was abandoned.

At the annual Parish Meeting held April 1st, 1872, it

( i'l

wns first |»ro|tos(Hl *' to luivo tli(^ boys of tlio clioir snr})licp(l
for tlie !il't(jriioon sorvico ou Sundays," but no motion was
nia(b^ ou the subject. An aiUlress was also adojUcd to ho
])iespnted to the Dean on his liavin;,' completed fifty years
of ministry in tlie ('hurcli. A new furuance was put in
in 1873.

In the early part of 1874, St. Luke's met with a severe
loss in the death of it's much loved and n^vered Ktjctor,
J)ean liullock, wlio was taken ill in Fel)ruary and died in
March 1874. On the 9th a Vestry Meeting was held at
which the following resolution was passed : — " It hath
pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from the Church
Militant to the Church Triumphant His most faithful
servant, our late beloved Kector, the Kev. William Bullock,
J). ]).. Dean of the Cathedral ; therefore, be it resolved :
That while we deeply mourn the great less the Parishioners
of St. Luke's have sustained both collectively and individu-
ally in this dispensation of Providence, yet we bow with
submission to the will of Almighty God, rejoicing in the
full conviction that our great loss has been the greater gain
to our beloved Pastor, who having so long and faithfully
fought the good tight, batli now reaped the great reward,
and has been as a sheaf fully ripe, gathered into the Garner
of our Lord."

During the inter regnum and before a new Kector was
elected, an agreement was entered into between the liishop
and the Vestry of St. Luke's, and endorsed by the meeting
of Parishioners at Easter, 1874, that the pulpit of St. Luke's
should be at the disposal of the Cathedral authorities on the
tho first Sunday of each month at the morning service, and
on the third Sunday of each month at the evening service :
this arrangement has prevailed up to the present. At this

Easter Meeting the Tev. John Abbott was elected Rector of
8t. Liike';^.

In iMay, 1874, the Church Wardens wore empowered to
give the con)niissioners of schools notice that thej required
poi^se^sion of the school building in the end of October
following. On the 30th of Ju\y the Kov. John L. Beli was
api)ointed Curate, at a salary of $1,000, but he only con-
tiuued to occupy that position until Easter, 1875. A legacy
of $100 left by Miss Wallace was ordered to be used in the
purchase of a small bell for the Church.

At the annual Parish Meeting of 1875 it was decided to
erect a memorial to the late L'ector, Dean Bullock, and in
May th(^, committee reported in favour of erecting over the
grave of the late Dean, a Massive Cross of Nova Scotia
granite. In August the Vestry i)assed resolutions to take
over the school house from the School Commissioner and to
erect a platform, ))aint, put in benches, &c., all to be paid
for by subscription At this meeting also the Rector
announced the selection of Rev. Mr. Richardson as Curate.
In November 1875 the repairs to the school house were
completed at a cost of |600. Rev. Mr. Sills succeeded
Rev. Mr Bell as Curate in 1876.

^The question of using envelopes was first mooted in
1877. In 1877 the Cathedral authorities desired to record
the furniture of St. Luke's which actually belonged to the
Cathedral, and they claimed the crimson altar cloth, the sett
of violet altar cloths and hangings presented by the Bishop,
the altar cross, (not the one in present use), 2 flower vases
and one silver chalice presented by the Bishop, the lectern,
the altar, the stone base for the font, the chest for the altar
cloths, the carpet (then) in the chapter room, the robe press,
the clock, the umbrella stand, the book case and the library.

In 1878 the wdiole Church was re-shingled and other
repairs made at a cost of about $1,200.

At a Parish Meeting held March 8th, 1879, a coniiuittee
was appointed to pre[)a]'e and submit a scheme based upon
the envelope system, to provide additional funds for the
I^irisli. This was not taken up encouragingly by the
Parsh only $17.80 per week being promised. In the course
of a fliscussion on the finances of the Church at the annual
Easter Meeting in 1879, the Vestry clerk stated that the loss
of pew lents for the last twelve years amounted to $2,800.
In conseijuence of the condition of the finances it was
resolved to dispense with the Curate, (Mr. Sillsy, after three
months.

Towards the close of 1881, St. Luke's met with its
second great loss in the death of the Rector, the Pev. John
Abbott, on Monday, October 3rd. The bereaved Parish had
some difficulty in selecting a new Rector to fill the place of
the one who had for so long, and so faithfully laboured
amongst them, and who had so much endeared himself to
his people. Meanwhile, the Rev. W. L Currie, of Eastern
Passage, was requested to take charge of the Parish for three
months, o' until a new Rector should be elected. In
December, 1881, a Parish Meeting was held at which the
Rev. E. R. Murray, a missionary, who had laboured most
successfully at Heart's Content. Newfoundland, was unani-
niou.sly elected Reclor, and in Eebruary, 1882, Mr. Murray
arrived and took charge of the Parish Meantime, the
litany desk, or fald stool, had been presented to St. Luke's
as a memorial of the late Rector, JNIr. Abbott. Mr. Murray
was not loug in charge before he manifested his devotion

anrl conrngo in n, rcmaikablo and and admirable manner. A
terrible and most disastrous fire occurred at the Poor's
Asylum, and in his heroic efforts to save the helpless people
from the flames, Mr. Murray was so injured that he was
com|)elled in January, 1883, to go away in order to recover
his health. On his return home a rood screen which had
been subscribed for by some of his friends, was offered to
St. Luke's as a thank-offering for his recovery, but owing to
the objections of the Bishop and others it was never erected.

Mr. Murray carried on the good work of the former
Eectors with great vigour and success. At the Easter
Meeting of 1883, it wo,s resolved to purchase a suitable
Kectory for the Parish, and after several projjerties which
had been offered had been carefully considered, the present
property, 91 Morris Street, was purchased from Mr. W. L.
Lowell, in April, 1885, at the price of $5 500. At a Parish
Meeting held in June, 1883, it was resolved to divide the
Parish by setting off ^Falkland as a Mission. A resolution
was passed at the same time recognising the moral obligation
of St. Luke's to help in the support of the new Mission as
far as possille, and ever since then St Luke's has paid
$100 per annum towards the support of the Missionary at
Falkland.

In February, 1884, the Rector was again obliged to go
to a milder climate on account of his health, and he was
given leave of absence until June.

One of the cherished schemes of Mr. Murray was the
erection of a new Church, and in March, 1885, he succeeded
in getting a building committee appointed. At the same
time the ladies took up the scheme with energy and
enthusiasm, and in the fall of 1885, held a sale which
realised about $1,000, and which was invested by the

on Kobie Street, and the lavin;]j of the foundation stone
there, together with the biiilding of St. Stejjhcn's, (the
liishop's Chapel), made such a change in the i)rospect of
building a new St. Luke's, that no fuither ellbrt was made
in that direction.

In February, 1^8G, the Ilev. \V. li. King was nominated
as Curate at a salary of $900.

On April 30th, 1886, Pislioi) Binney died at Kew York,
and the funeral was held in Halifax, on P'riday, May 8th.
At the Hector's suggestion the little Chapel of St. Alban'a
was purchased in 1886 for $800,

Mr. Murray continued to labonr vvith great devotion and
zeal until the close of the year of 1887, when, owing to his
ill health, he deemed it his duly to resign the Parish by
letter dated December 1st, the resignation to take effect
March 1st, 1888 The resignation was reluctantly accepted,
and the election of a new Kector deferred until Easter, 1888,
meanwhile Mr. King, the Curate, carried on the work of the
Parish.

At the Easter Meeting of Parishioners, 1888, the election
of a Rector was postponed with the consent of the Bishop
until the following Easter, meanwhile the Kev. W. B. King
was appointed Priest in charge. Improvements in the
(yhurch were also spoken of, and the Church Wardens and
Vestry were em])0wered to obtain the funds which had been
raised by the ladies for the erqction of a new Church.

In April, 1888, the Rev. Frederick Courtney, I). D., was
consecrated in St Luke's, Bishop of Nova Scotia, and the
new Bishop waived his right to appoint the Rector until
after Easter, 1889. In January, 1889, however, a meeting
of the Parishioners was called on the 7th instant, when the

Rev. VV. B l\hv^ wns unanimously elected Kector. At a
Vestry meeting' held Ai)iil Otb, it was resolved to recomnieiid
to tlie Palish Mectiii.t;- a plan lor re ceiling the nave of St.
Lul:e's, and jiutting in new ])illars, and also to repair St.
l.uke's Hall, and also to consider the making all the pews
and sittings free At the following Easter Meeting the
alterations in the Church were authorized, and at a later
meeting held in .lune, tenders were accepted, and the com-
mittee authorized to jtroceed wltth the work and to borrow
$5,000. jiuring the time these alterations were being made
the services were held in St. Luke's Hall. All was com-
])leted and St. Luke's was re-opened on Sunday, October
8th, greatly impi'oved in appearance.

At the annual Parish Meeting held Easter Monday,
Apiil 7th, 1890, tlie important step was taken of making
the seats in St. Luke's entirely free. 'Ihe motion was made
by Mr. Thos. Lrown, seconded by Afr. Silver, and carried
unanimously in a very full meeting ; since then St. Luke's
has relied entirely upon the offerings of the congregation,
either through envelopes or open offerings During the fol-
lowing year an energetic canvass was made of the whole
Parisii, resulting in a moie general adoption of the envelope
system, increasing the receipts of the Church by a consider*
able amount.

In August, 1891, the Lev. Mr. King drew the
attentiion of the Vestry to the Mission of St. Luke's across
the North West Arm. known as St. Augustine's ; the little
building which had been used for services bad become so
dilapidated that it had to be pulled down. *300 was in
hand towards the purchase of a site for a new building, and
at the same time a plan was submitted for a building to cost
about 1 1,000 It was at the time resolved to borrow the

money in order to erect tlie Cliapel, but the plan was foimr"!
to be too co.stly and other anan^reineiits had to be made
Meanwhile the ladies of the Parish held a sah? which realisiMl
nearly $1,000, out of which aniouut $'M)0 was paid for stone
and every jtreparation made for erecting the Chapel. Jn
May, 1892, the Kev. W. I^. King accepted a call to the
Ifectorahip uf Christ Church, Cambridge, Mass., this led to
the deferring of further action lej/aiding St. Augustine\s,
but it is hoped that a little stone Church will be erected on
a site generously given by Mr. Sandford Fleming, C. M. G.,
before another year has i):issed.

Mr. King's resignation was acce})ted Avith much regret
by the Parish of St Luke's, taking eifect July 1st, 181)2,
and at a Parish Meeting held in St.^Luke"s Hall, July lUth,
the present Piector, Kev. E P. Crawford, then J\ector of the
Church of the Ascension, Hamilton, was unanimously elected
Kector, and was inducted by the Bishop on August 7th, 18'J2.

Secretar (/-Treasurer :—Ur^. J. W. Longley.

This branch of the General Guihl was orgaoized on May
25th, 1893, beginning with a working membership of 21
and 6 honorary members, and reporting at the close of the
first year, 35 working members and 11 honorary. To quote
from tlie Secretary's report :—'' During the year we have
accomplished a good deal of work, not only has the work in
connection with the Church been maintained in the efficient
manner that has characterized it for years, but through our
organized effort the burden has not fallen so conspicuously
on a few, and through funds provided by the Guild some
branches of M'ork have been more satisfactorily performed."
The ladies who have undertaken the care of the Sanctuary
have attended every week by turns at the Church to see that
all things appertaining to the altar and altar service were in
a proper condition for their sacred uses. The ('hristmas,
Easter and Harvest Decorations have been effectively and
beautifully carried out by Mrs Tucker and her assistants,

0,0

several new banuers have been obtaiiied, two most beautiful
setts of wliite burse aud clialice veil for festival use pre-
sented, and the hangings always kept in order and duly
changed to suit the 'seasons. The linen for altar use haa
been carefully attended to and kept in beautiful order by
Mis. Gilpin and those working with her. Ti)e floral de-
corations have been arranged with exquisite taste and skill by
Miss O'Dell and her workers Hut the choir Guild has been
the chief feature of work in this branch. It was found on
examination that the cassocks and cottas for the choir needed
almost entire renovation, and after diligent elforts at mending,
the Guild made application to the Church Wardens and
Vestry for assistance which was granted to the extent of
$100. With this money new linen was purchased, cottas
cut out and made by members of the Guild, whilst cassocks
were dyed and refitted, one or two extra surplices were also
made for the use of tiie clergy. Besides this, the choir
(juild have had closets made in the choix room in place of the
old curtains behind which the choir vestments used to hang,
for this purpose also, a grant was promised by the Church
Warden. Ever since the organization of this branch the
surplices have been carefully looked after and kept scrupu-
lously clean 'I he work of this branch has been most satis-
factory, and the members of the choir, and indeed the whole
congregation have good reason to thank the ladies for their
care and attention. All things in this branch are now in
good condition.

The Rector commends this Guild to all communicants of
St. Luke's ; the working membership fee is 50 cents, the
honorary fee $1. Contributions towards the flower fund
should be paid to Miss K. O'Dell.

Since Mr. Frank Gatward took charge of the choir, it
has attained a liigh state of efficiency. The choral celebra-
tions are revereutlv and sweetly rendered. Woodwards
s^ervice in G, being used for ordinary, and Aguttei's beauti-
ful service in G, for festivals. Several new anthems and
services have been added to the re[)ertoire of the choir
notably, Ebdon's fine old service for the Magnilicat ^and
Nunc Himittis, and the old and favourite anthem,^ "In
Jewry is God known," by Clarke Whitfteld. On the Friday

of Passion Week and Wednesday of Holy Week, the choir
gave Stainer's " Crucifixion," and when one thinks it was
done without extraneous assistance it was a most remarkable
evidence of the ability and efficiency of the choir. Mr.
Gatward has new services, &c., in preparation. The one
thinf' needed now to make the musical services of St. Luke's
all that they should be is the new Organ.

This Guild was formed during the Rectorship of the Rev.
F. R. Murray, and has done a most kindly and charitahle
work in providing for some of tlie poorer members of St.
Luke's. Every year a Christmas tree has been held, at
which useful and valuable presents were bestowed upon
poor children, and a bountiful tea provided for both mothers
and children. The annual treat was held last, on Holy
Innocents Day, December 28th, 1893, when about 90 child-
ren received presents of clothiug and toys, and eujoyed
Christmas cheer. The cash receipts of the Guild were
$13.12, and the disbarments were the same, leaving a
balance of 25 cents in the Treasurer's hands. Hut this by
no means represents the amount expended by the Guild, as
each member provided clothing and gifts for a certain
number of children at her own expense.

In connection with this provision of Christmas cheer
might be mentioned the fact that ui)wards of 50 Christmas
dinners have been provided and sent out from 8t. Luke's
choir room on Christmas Eve for the last two years.

The Mother's Meeting has been in operation for some
years, and has been one of the most useful and helpful of
ths benevolent Guihis oi the Parish. It meets every Wed-
nesday afternoon during the winter months, when the
mothers sew, whilst an instructive and entertaining book is
read to them ; tlie material is purchased out of the funds of
the Guild, the garments are made by tlie women themselves,
and sold to them at very low rates. Frequently the motliers
are treated to a tea at 4 o'clock. The Secretary reports an
average attendance during the past winter of 19. The sum
of $18 was collected for the purchase of material, and 95 gar-
ments were made by the women for their own use. There
is a Blanket and Clothinir Club in connection with the
Mother's Meeting, the members paying in such sums as they
are able to save during the year, and after 10 per cent is
added out of the Parish funds, they are provided with
blankets at wholesale rates, or, if they prefer, the money is
retuin'Hl to them to be expended as they wish. There were
21 members of the lUauket ('lub, and their savings during
1893, amounted to about $168.

A splendid (/hristmas supper was given to the mothers
on St. John's Day, December 27th, 1893, at which the
blankets and money were given to the members.

The Treasurer reports 50 yards of cotton in hand and 85
cents in cash.

This club was started by the Rector in May, 1893, the
following ladies kindly acting as collectors : —

Mrs. Hcnsley, Miss Lee, Miss Ratchford and Miss
P)Ownian. There were 15 contributors to the club whoso
savings from Juno to November amounted to $58.91, to this
was added 10 per cent, and the money returned to the mem-
bers either in cash or in coal. 8J chaldrons of coal were
purchased and delivered at the lowest cash price This club
might be made a very useful and helpful one by a few more
taking an interest in it and working for it It is far better
to encourage the poor to lay by for theiuselves during the
summer months, than to pauperise them by constantly sup-
plying their needs in winter. There are really few who
ought to seek aid in the winter, if thev exercise anv kind of
care and management when there is plenty of work in
summer, and we ought to do all we can to induce them to
practice thrift and economy.

The Poor Fund is made up chiefly by the offerings at
the celebrations of the Molv Eucharist. In 1892-3 these
amounted to «4H8.19, and" in 1893-4 to $582.11. The
Reynolds bequest yielded $60.27 in 1892, and $104.82 in
1893. The Rector also found in the alms box in the porch
of the Church S22.88. The total received in 1892-3 was
therefore $498.46, and in 1893-4 $709.91. Every cent of
this has been expended for the benefit of the poor, and the
Rector is now struggling with an exhausted treasury. The
fund owes $100 to the Mission of St. Augustine which must
be paid this year ; shall it be by increased contributions or
by cutting off the poor ?

The number on the roll of the school at Advent, 1893,
was 79 girls and 50 boys in the senior, and 37 girls and 20
boys in the junior school, a total of 186 scholars. These
numbers have increased to 82 girls and 52 boys in the
senior and 41 girls and 30 boys in the junior school, a total
of 205. The average attendance is 148. Besides these there
is the Rector's Bible Class at which the older boys who have
been confirmed attend, Mrs. Lyde's class in the Young
Ladies' College, and Miss Lee's class at the Asylum for the
Blind. The leaflet published by the Provincial Synod
Committee, and based upon the scheme of the Sunday
School Institute, was adopted for use, and came into opera-

tion at Advent last Tlie scholnis aw, carefully marked by
the teachers, and at the end of the year their marks are
counted and they are all cla^slfied according to the marks
obtained during the year. Those who have perfect marks
or within six of the total numl)er of marks for the year are
on the roll of honour, and their names are printed in gold
letters, framed and hung up on the wall of the school house.

Tlie names of those "dio obtained this honour last year
were : —

Frances Humphries, Frances Longley,
Jennie Turner, Alma Zong,

Louis Brodie, Minnie McMahon.

All who obtain over J of the maximum are classed on the
honour roll, all over j are in the first class, and all over J in
the second class. There were 25 on the honour roll last
year, and 30 in the fiist class all of whom received prizes of
proportionate valu^. 39 were in the second class, while the
rest were not classified. In the junior school, 5 boys and
7 girls received over f of the marks and obtained prizes.
An entertainment was given to the children on the 4th of
January, 1894, at which the prizes were distributed. Two
pic nics have been held, one in 1893, and the other in 1894,
both of which were very successful, except that the last one
left us in debt a few dollars. On the second Sunday of
each month there is a children's service at 3.45 in the
Church, when the children are catechised, and cards given
to all who are perfect for the month previous On Xmas
and Easter afternoons there are also children's services
which are very bright and joyous. The great feature of the
Easter Festival is the Floral Object Lesson ; last year this
took the shape of a large cross, and this year of a butterfly ;
the lesson was very beautiful and instructive. Some mem-

♦/•

l)ers of St. Luke's do not sond their children to Sunday
School, they shouhi at least see that they attend the monthly
catechising service in compliance with the rubric at the end
of the catechism, " All fathers, mothers and dames shall
cause their children, servants and apprenti^>es (which have
not learned their catechism) to come to the Church at the
time appointed, and obediently to hear and be order' d by
the Curate, until such time as they have learned all that is
here appointed for them to learn."

The finances of the school are getting into better shape,
and it is hoi)ed ere long to be entirely free from debt. Two
years ago there was a considerable \leficiency, the greater
part of which lias now been paid, and in addition an excel-
lent new library procured so that the school is now well
equipped to do its work. During the past two Lenten
seasons the scholars were encouraged to take self-denial
boxes, and to present their savings at the Easter Festival
Service for some missionary object In 1893, these self-
denial offerings amounted to upwards of $60 and ,"$55
was handed to the Bishop to be used by him for mission
work in his Diocese. In 1894, the offerings came to nearly
$70 and $60 was sent to Indian mission work in the far
north west.

The total receipts of the school for the year ending
Advent 1893 were $348.40, and the liabilties $51,46, which
liabilities have since been paid off.

This Guild was formed on February 18th, 1893, and has
therefore been in operation for 18 months. It is intended
to interest tlie children of the Church in Mission work,
Diocesan, Domestic and Foreign, They follow the Church's
system from the beginning; " beginning at "—their own —
"Jerusalem" and then reaching out to Judea, Samaria, and
the uttermost parts of the earth, by sending their contri-
butions, first, to their own Diocese and then to other parts of
Canada, and finally to foreign lands. The Guild had in its
first year a membership of 27 and an average attendance at
the weekly meetings of U. As the Guild began its work so
Jate in '93 it was not able to accomplish much in the first
six months, however, banks were given to the members who
would accept them, into which they were to put 2 cents per
week, and the result was $4.67 at the close of the working
season. The Guild bent its energies towards preparation for
a sale which was held at 91 Morris Street, in October, and
which was a great success, the sum of $55.84 being realized.
Another most successful event was the Missionary meeting
held in St. Luke's Hall in conjunction with St. Paul's

Partridge, Rev Dyson Hngue and the Hector of St. Luke's,
and the members sang Missionary hynins and gave interest-
ing recitations. The offering made at this meeting which
was largely attended, was very satisfactory. The receipts of
the Guild from members fees |5.80, and from donations
$6 55, from banks $8.05, from otterings SI 2 70, and from
fines $2.26, made up, with the proceeds of the sale, a total
sum of $91.36 ; with this money the Guild was able to send
in cash to Missionaries in Nova Scotia a total sum of $30,
and to expend $13.93 in the purchase of Xmas gifts for a
Sunday School at New Koss. Also to spend $2.12 on books
for Sunday School libraries at Middleton and Sackville.
$8 was sent to the Indian boys homo at Saicee Reserve,
N. W. T , and $2.75 spent on materials for work sent to
Grenfell in the North West. $10 was given to Zenana
Missions in India, and $5 to a lady Missionary in Japan.
But, besides all these gifts in cash, valuable boxes of Christ-
mas gifts were sent to the families of two Missionaries in
the Diocese of Nova Scotia, and a contribution was sent to
be enclosed in the boxes of the C. W. M. A. Two large
boxes of books for Sunday School library were sent to
Middleton and Sackville, the Guild taking the old Sunday
School libraries of St. Luke's, repairing and recovering
thorn, and adding some new ones. The Christmas gifts sent
to New Ross numbered 128 and were all valuable and useful.

A sale is to be held again in the fall of '94 for which the
members of the Guild and their friends are working now ;
they will be glad to receive any contributions from friends
in the shape of useful or fpncy articles It is hoped also,
that seeing the laudable results of their past ettbrts, the
members of St. Luke's and other congregations in the City
will encourage them still further by a large attendance and
liberal buying when the sale takes place.

The membership now numbers 35.

The object and work of this organization is now pretty
thoroughly understood by every one. It is impossible to
guag© its influence, or to speak of its success. The work
done is a simple and quiet but most useful and effective
work. The visiting of the hotels every Saturday evening
and leaving invitations to strangers to attend the services of
the Church and the attention paid to all strangers when they
come to Church is in itself a work worthy of praise, but
when one remembers the interest, prayers and personal
efforts of the young men of St. Andrew on behalf of the
other young men of the Parish, the influence of this society
must be great for good, and its beneficent results will be
gloriously manifest when the Lord shall come " to give to
every man according to his wc ik." Few are its members
indeed, but " the Lord saveth not by many." Are there not
more young men who love the Lord Jesus enough, and their .
fellows also, to associate themselves- with so noble, unselfish,
and manly a work I

Ls^ Lieutenant .-—Gv.oRGE Mitchell.
2nd Lieutenant:—!^. W. Bowman.
Chaplain: — The Rector.

St. Luke's compaiiy of the Church Lads' Brigade was
formed in April, 1893.' For two or three months, until he
left Halifax, the then Lieutenant Tod Woodward drilled
the bovs very efficiently, and after his departure Corporal
Crowhurst, R. E., was drill instructor until his return to
England. The boys are now thoroughly drilled every
Monday evening by (^nyjtain Thompson aLd the other
officers. In August, 1893, a camp was held at McNab's
Island under the supervision of the Chaplain, assisted by
Corporal Crowhurst, in which, also some of the St. George's,
St. Paul's and St. Stephen's boys took part, upwards of 50
boys were in camp, which continued from Monday, August
28th, until Saturday, September 2nd. The order for each
day wss a follows : — . n r

6 a. m., Reveille, 7 a. m., Church Parade m front ot
the Chaplain's tent. 7.30, Breakfast. 8 45, Camp Inspec-
tion 9.30, Bathing Parade. 10.30, Physical Drill. 12 30,
Dinner. 4.30 p. m., Full-dress Parade and Company Drill.
6 p. m., Lights out. On Friday. September 1st, General
Montgomery-Moore most kindly came down and inspected
the camp and the boys, and expressed himself pleased with ^

their progress. Several promotions were made by the
General. °A squad of the Brigade was also permitted to
take part in the annual Tournament of the Garrison, and
give an exhibition of physical drill. The Company have
just recived their rifles from England, and as the cost of
these has been so heavy, there will be no camp this year

St. Alban's is now entirely free of debt, and has been
duly deeded over to the authorities of St. Luke's Owing
chiefly to the loving and generous care of Mr. and Mrs.
G. E. Franklyn of " Ernscoto," it is not only suitably but
even handsomely furnished The altar is always beautiful
with flowers and properly vested, the services always bright
and hearty, and the celebrations of the Holy Communion
well attended. During the past year a very handsome ala-
baster Font has been placed in the Church, purchased by
the contributions of the Sunday School and others. The
Sunday School is large and efliciently managed. There are
upwards of 60 scholars on the roll. Through the kindness
of Mrs. Franklyn and Mrp. Thompson, they have had^ their
annual Christmas trees and summer pic-nics. The Super-
intendent of the school has been Mr. A. W. Purcell, and
the teachers, Boy's Classes, Mrs. Franklyn and Miss Lowe,
and Girl's Classes, Miss Morle, Mrs. A. W. Purcell, Miss
Slayter and Miss Franklyn. The Mission has lecently
suftered a great loss in the departure of Miss Morle for her
home in England. As organist, Sunday School teacher,
visitor of the sick, and irdeed as one always at work tor the
Church we will sorely miss her, but we trust that others
will be found to take a like interest, and do as iaithful work

for St. Alban's. n i?

The firiancial statement, presented by Mr. u. £..
Franklyn, Treasurer, at the last Easter Meetiog was most
favourable, showing a total of $387.57 from January 1st,
1893, to March 15th, 1894.

This is a portion of the Parish sadly needing attention.
Since the little old Chapel was pulled down about three
years ago, services have been held in cottages vented for
the purpose, but this was running away with the money
which had been collected for the building of the new
Church, and eventually the cottages had to be given up.
Work at this Mission is practically at a stand still. We
have a site promised, and if that should fail us a site of our
own, we have a lot of stone purchased by the late Rector,
and we have $600 in cash. A plan is to be prepared for a
little wooden Church with a stone foundation to cost not
more than $1,000, which it is hoped will be built this fall,
and then more efficient and satisfactory work can be done
at St. Augustine's.
