RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL
COMMITTEE.
BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS.
Whereas, it is desirable for the better provision for the ministrations
of the Church in the Diocese of Fredericton, that there be a systematic
and permanent plan for the payment of the stipends of Missionaries;
therefore resolved, —
1. That in order to encourage the established Missions to become
gradually self supporting, all grants made by or through this Society in
aid of Missions (not including stipends secured to any of the elder
Clergy on the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel grant during
life) shall from henceforth be made conditional on the contribution by
the Mission itself of a stated sum towards the Missionary's stipend.
2. That all grants made by the General Committee be made subject to
these resolutions, and be distributed under the direction of the Board of
Home Missions, who shall have at all times all such and like powers
and rights with respect to the same, or any of them, as the General
Committee of the Society would have if in Session.
S. That the Board of Home Missions annually present to the General
Committee of the Society, on the first day of their meeting, a full and
detailed account of all business transacted during the expired year, and
also a list of grants rcommended for the ensuing year, with the condi-
tions to be annexed to each, and shall also report to the Executive
Committee at each quarterly meeting thereof.
4. That on the approval by the General Committee of the grants
recommended for the year, the same shall forthwith pass into operatioa
on the basis of the foregoing Resolutions, and subject to the following
regulations :
(o). The Board of Home Missions (acting in conjunction with the
Lord Bishop) shall forthwith, after the annual meeting, communicate
witli the Wardens or other Lay Members of the Church, in each Mission,
requiring them to enter into ensrageraent (A) with the Society, to con-
tribute the sum required of the Mission for the year.
(6). Should such engagement not be entered into to the satisfaction of
the Board before the 15th day of August then next, they shall com-
municate with the Missionary, requiring him to give each of his congre-
gations notice (B) of withdrawal of all payments as a Missionary
receiving st'pend through this Society on Ist October then next, unless
the engagemeni be meantime completed.

{<"). Sliould such ('Ugiiir<'nH'nl not l)e enlcred into to the satisfaction of
the Board lieforc tlie (if>t of October then next, all payments to the
Missionary's salary throuirh the Society shall i)e withdrawn, and no
stipend shall thereafter bo payable in respect thereof: Provided tlmt
should the Missionary yec lit to resijjn his cure, he shall, if stationed for
the remainder of the }ear by the Lord Bishop in any vacant Mission
which may bo willini;' to comply with the terms required of the default
ing Mission, bo entitled, in respect of the services to be rendered in such
new Mission, to such stipend as may bo agreed upon between such
Missionary and the Board, not exceeding that provided for the con-
tinuation of bis services in his former Mission, and upon the like terms
and conditions. Provided, also, that any such Missionary, if not hi
appointed to any new Mission, may nevertheless be permitted by tiio
Board on siKcial application, to draw on 1st of April for a sum in tluir
discretion; but not exceeding his previous quarter's stipend from the
Society.
((f). Where such engagement isentered into, the Board shall forthwitli
notify the Missionary, who shall thereupon (unless the terms of such
engagement shall not be fulfilled as hereinafter provided) be entitled to
draw upon the Society for the full amount of his quarterly salury,
including therein the sum required for the quarter of the Mission
itself.
(O- The amount required from the Mission may be paid eitb.i in
money or produce, and shall be so paid by equal quarterly instalments
at least one month before the last day of each quarter; if paid in money,
the same to be remitted direct to the Treasurer; and if paid in produce,
such produce to be furnished to and received by the Missionary, and his
receipt in lieu of money, forwarded to the Treasurer within the time
aforesaid. Provided that, if necessary, the Mission may have one
month's grace to complete the payment.
(/). Should the Missionary give any such written receipt for produce,
he shall keep a record thereof, and shall make his next quarter's draft
for such sum only as shall be due him, after he shall be debited with
such receipts in the Treasurer's books.
(g). Should neither the money nor receipts for produce, to the full
amount required for the quarter, be received by the Treasurer by thi
last day of the second month of the quarter, it shall be the duty of the
Treasurer at once to send to the Missionary and to each of the persons
who shall have signed the engagement, the notice (C) and should neither
such money nor receipts have been so received by the last day of tlie
quarter, the grant of the Society shall thenceforth cease, and it
shall be the Treasurer's duty at once and in like manner to send the
notice (D). If, however, the arrears be subsequently paid, the Board
shall have power to renew the grant on application from the Mission.
(A). In case of the Missions where the Missionary's stipend is secured
for life on the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel grant, the
Board shaJl call on the Warden to enter into the prescribed engagement
•only in case of the demise of the present Missionary; and those Mission
arics shall continue to draw their stipends as heretofore accustomed.

rp:turn» from parishes and missions.
M^ereas, In consequence of the limited means at the disposal of the
Society, and the great necessity for new and extended work, it has
become of great conseciuence that all local glebes, and other endow-
ments of Parishes should be fully utilized.
Therefore resolved, — 1. That the Board of Home Missions be authorized
to require from the Church Wardens of every Parish or Mission receiv-
ing aid from the Society, full details of all such glebes, church lands,
and other investments, yearl}' or oftener, as they shall see fit
2. That if it shall appear that any part of the income from the glebes
or investments held for the Rector's use, is taken to make up the sum
required by the Society from the Mission, the Board may forthwith
increase the amount required in proportion thereto; and in case of
neglect on the part of the Rector or Church Wardens to collect the
interests or rents, the Board be authorized to enquire into the matter,
and, if there be sufhcient cause, suspend the grant to the Mission until
the management be made satisfactory to the Board of Home Missions.
CONTRIBUTIONS— HOW CHARGEABLE.
That tlie Secretary of The Diocesan Church Society be requested
to furnish the Treasurer with a minute of contributions, reported from
every Parish or Mission, specifying the amounts payable to general and
special funds; that the amounts so returned be charged by the Treasurer
to each Parish or Mission in a book to be kept for the purpose, and that
a detailed statement of all contributions then remaining unpaid be
rendered by the Treasurer to the Executive Committee, for their action
in the matter, at the October meeting, and each meeting thereafter, so
long as any amount shall continue in «arrear.
, SECRETARIES OP LOCAL COMMITTEES. _ .
That every Missionary be requested to furnish, annually, to the
Treasurer of The Diocesan Church Society the name of the Secretary
of each Local Committee.
certificates or lay delegates.
That the certificates of the Lay Delegates be sent to the Secretary at
least ten days before the meeting of the Geneial Committee, to enable
Jiim to report to the meeting at its opening the names of those qualified,
and that his report shall be accepted as prima facie evidence of quali-
fication.

That all Rules and Regulations made by the General Committee be

missions becoming vacant.
That when any Mission now receiving aid from the Society shall
become vacant, the grant from the Society shall therefrom cease, and
31
shall only be renewt pon application to the General Committee, or to
the Board of Home Mis.^iona, and upon such terms as to assessment and
grant as they, or either of them, shall considerable equitable.
AID TO LOCAL ENDOWMENTS. ; •!
Whereas, It is desirable that this Society should encourage the forma-
tion of moderate endowments to fake the place of grants now made to
Missious throughout the Diocese, which grants niv.st of necessity be
rapidly reduced, and in many cases completely withdrawn, before very
long :
Thei'efore resolved, That if at any time wiibin the next three years
any Mission receiving a grant from this Society shall raise an endow-
ment of not less than Three Thousand Dollars, and shall pay the same
to the Treasurer of this Society, in trust, for the payment of the stipend
of the Missionary, the Board of Home Missions shall bo authorized to
order the Treasurer to pay into such Trust Fund, out of the Capital
Funds of the Society, not specially appropriated, a sum equal to double
the grant that such Mission may be receiving from the Society at the
time such endowment is completed; and thereupon all grants, in aid of
Kuch Missions, shall be withdrawn and shall not afterwards be renewed.
• 1"
PROVISION FOR THE RETURN OF SUCH ADVANCES.
And further resolved, That in order to provide for the return to the
Capital Funds of the Society of monies so paid, the Treasurer shall
reserve and set aside out of the income of the Society each year, for
four years after such payment has been made, one-half the amount of
the grant that such Mission was receiving at the time the endowment
was completed, and shall re-invest the same as part of the Capital of
the Society.

PROVISION AS TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUCH ADVANCES.
And further resolved, That the payments made under this resolution
out of the Capital Funds of the Society shall not exceed Two Thousand
Dollars, until further authority shall be given by the General Committee.
I.
Whereas, It is necessary that an increase be made in all the assess-
ments in order to meet the withdrawal of aid heretofore received from
S. P. G.; and
Whereas, It is desirable that such increase be made gradually each
year, rather than in large sums at longer intervals; and
Whereas, There are many inequalities in the present Schedule that
ghould be removed ; therefore
Resolved, That the Board of Home Missions be directed during the en-
suing year to revise the whole Schedule, and in doing so to arrange for
an annual increase of $500 at least in the total assessment, and a

corresponding reduction in the grants from the D. 0. S., and submit
such revised Schedule to the General Conomiltee next July; and further
Resolved, That the Treasurer be directed to carry the sum saved by
such reduction of grants into a Reserve Fund, until the reduction in
the S. P. G. Grant makes it necessary to use the same.
II.
TRAVELLING OUTFIT.
Eesolved, It is very desireable that some provision should be made
whereby men commencing work in this Diocese may be enabled to pur
chase the requisite travelling outfit without becoming involved in debt
for the same ; therefore
Resolved, That wL^n a man commences work in this Diocese in a Parish
or Mission receivi.i!; a grant from the D. C. S., a sum not exceeding $200
may be advanced to him for the purchase of the necessary travelling
outfit, upon the following conditions:
1st. That he undertakes to serve at least three years in a Pari-sh or
Mission receiving a grant from the Society.
9nd. That during these three years his stipend shall not exceed JJTOO,
out of which the Treasurer of the Society shall be authorized to retain
$25 p" quarter till the sum advanced be repaid.
3rd. That in case, for any reason, he ceases to do such work before
the expiration of the three years, he shall refund such part of the grant

Resolved, That the plan for a gradual reduction of grants which was
agreed to last year be adhered to; and further
Resolved, That whatever amount may be required during the next three
years be advanced out of the balance on hand, upon the understanding
that there shall be a yearly reduction of at least $450 in the grants made
by the Society, till such advance is re-paid.

REPORT.
• 4885. .
At the close of another year the Society should gratefully
acknowledge the Divine blessing u])on its work. In a greater
measure than ever before the ministrations of the Church
have been provided and extended in this Diocese. With one
exception all the older Missions have been filled, and tiu'
Clergy therein actively engaged. In several points there has
been marked success, and an earnest desire on the part of
many for the services of the Church. A most interesting and
important Mission has been provided by setting off the District
of Fairville from its connection with the Parish of St. George,
Carleton, and it is hoped that this post will soon be occu])ied.
By reference to the report of the Board of Home Missions.
it will be noticed that, in a few mstances, special appropria-
tions have been made during the year.
From the fact of so many Missions, lately vacant and now
occupied, at which the Society does well to rejoice, the
expenditure of the Society for the past year has necessarily
been increased to the ffiU extent of its income. ' " ' '
A committee of the Board of Home Missions have been long
and anxiously engaged in the preparation of an amended
schedule of appropriations, which they are now prepared to
submit. This important subject has received the greatest
-consideration on the part of the Board, and they have acted
35
^ make up
.ssment, so
pj-ropriutious
.le Church
upon the best inforratition bearing upon the subject which
they could obtain.
The unexpected but necessary reduction of 1*350 sterling on
the part of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, to
take effect in January, 1886. has rendered it absolutely re-
quisite to reduce the appropriations of the Society. The
plan, however, proposed by the Board of ^Tome Missions,
will, it is ho])ed, enable the Missio*^
11 small annual increase in the w y
that the Society may continue the ic ; '•
without incurring any indebtedness. iV Mn.i
in the Diocese can never be sufficiently :. " ".eiu: lor the gener-
ous and long continued aid afforded h" che Society in England.
Coming, indeed, at the present time of general business and
financial depression, this large withdrawlof in come may be
regarded with regret and alarm- But should it arouse
churchmen to a deeper sense of their duties and responsibilities
it will result, by the mercy of God, in a blessing to the
Diocese.
The maintenance and extension of the work of the Church
among us will now greatly depend upon the way in which the
several Parishes or Missions respond to the call for increased
local support. In most instances long and generously aided,
they must all cheerfully make up the additional assessment;
the older and richer parishes must be ready to do more for
themselves, and become self-supporting at an early day, and
thus enable the Society to give its aid more fully to new and
poor Missions. ''••!■ * ■ <»■ ■' ••
It must be earnestly impressed upon every member of this
Society that for the continuance of its present work, and that
which is waiting to be done beyond the present reach of the
ministrations of the Church,* an abi^olute necessity exists of
increased contributions to the general fund. How far this
may be expected. ^t the present time, and liow far the work of

the Missionaries may commend itself to the prayers and alms
of the members of the Church will in great measure be
gathered from the following reports:
ALBERT— REV. A. J. CRESS WELL. ^ *
The Church work of this Mission has for the past year been
slowly progressing.
The contributions this year I am afraid will fall short of
those of last year, but one great reason is that the few Church
members have subscribed liberally towards purchasing a
Parsonage. The sum of $570 out of the necessary $800 has
been collected. This together with the quarterly assessment
is all the people are able to bear at present.
I have not yet collected all the subscriptions for the D. C. S.,
but will do so ere this report reaches the printer.
I gratefully record the partial restoration of the Church in
New Ireland, and presents of prayer books and hymn books
from two gentlemen of the congregation in Hillsboro, also
eighteen hymn books from G. Taylor, Esq., Moncton.
We are expecting his Lordship the Bishop Coadjutor to ad-
minister the holy ordinance of Confirmation.
BATHURST— REV. W. H. STREET.
Though
^.. my appointments, during the year past, have
been kept with scarcely an interruption, I yet find it impos-
sible to do justice to the distant points of the Mission.
To be absent on a Sunday at " Caraquette" or Shippegau
involves the closing of the Parish Church on that day. Other-
wise I would only be too happy to spend many a week among
those of my parishioners, so desirous, yet frequently deprived
of Church privileges.
Many of my flock have, during the year, been called (I
trust) to their eternal rest.
Very lately father and daughter were committed to " God's
acre," on the same day — in the same grave. The circum-
stances attending their deaths were peculiarly sad. The shock
consequent on the violent death of the father, through an
37
infuriated bull, caused the removal of the daughter a few
hours after the accident. She had been confirmed at Frederic-
ton, and, while attending the *' Training School," was
attacked with typhoid fever. Very gratefully she remembered
the kind attention of Mrs. Medley, who was constantly at her
sick-bed, supplying every comfort.
During the month of May, his Lordship Bisho}) Kingdon
was kind enough to visit this Parish and remind us of our
duty to the D. C. Society.
The Sunday services we will not soon forget. After evening
song, earnest and loving words were spoken by the Bishop in
connection with the Church work in the Diocese, which will, I
am sure, stir us up to self-denial in giving to God more
abundantly of our means. The offerings at this service were
in aid of the funds of the Diocesan Church Society — amount-
ing to $13.^0.
My list of contributions is not completed, I look forward to
an increase.

BAY DU VIN— REV. W. J. WILKINSON.
Although I hope we will henceforth make greater progress in
spiritual matters than we have done in the past, yet I trust we
have some evidence to show that the preaching of the Gospel
has so far been productive of good to this Mission.
The congregations have been larger than any previous year
of my ministry, and the free-will offerings have amounted to
twice as much as they did the first year of my incumbency. This
in itself is encouraging, especially as some who had not been
at Church for years are now regular attendants at the Sunday
services; at the same time I cannot omit from my report the
fact that there are some, calling themselves Church people,
and contributing regularly towards its fu^tds, who, for some
inexplicable reason seldom or never attend the services either
on week days or Sundays. The number of communions made
during the year, although steadily increasing, is still lament-
ably small.
I have a celebration every alternate Sunday and every Holy
Day at the Church, but there are communicants living in the
more remote parts of the Mission, who, for want of convey-
ances, are unable to attend the Church. For this reason,
perhaps, the largest number of communicants are, as far as I

can see, unavoidably ])revonted from receiving this means of
grace, and the numi)er of communions made in the Mission
during the year is on this account much smaller than would
otherwise be the case. I have service at Escuminac every
alternate Sunday morning, and during the summer have a
congregation of about thirty, but of these only about a dozen,
including children, arc members of the Church. If the
circumstances were such that 1 could celebrate the Holy Com-
munion there, I would have as many communicants as I
now usually have at the Church, and the number of
communions made during the year would be twice as large as
it is at present. Every alternate Sunday afternoon I have
prayers in a school-room up Bay du Vin river and catechize
the children. There is also a Sunday-school held at the
church every Sunday afternoon. The children who cannot
attend either of these means of instruction, I Endeavor to
catechize when I make a visitation to their houses from time
to time. I have a number of candidates preparing for confir-
mation which wo hope will be administered during the
summer either by the Metropolitan or the Bishop Coadjutor.
With regard to the finances of the Church I am thankful
to say that for the first time in the history of this Parish the
assessment has been made uj) each quarter. We were one-
quarter in arrears for some time, but on Easter Monday last
the deficiency was made up, and 1 am in hopes that when the
1st July comes the present quarter will also be paid into the
Treasurer of the I). C. S. This improvement is, I think,
mainly due to the interest taken by the young women of the
Parish in collecting from those contributors who have not been
able to make their offerings at the Church.
T always find this quarter the most difficult for the people
to meet the assessment as at this time of year there is always
very little money in circulation. For this reason it is unfor-
tunate that we are called upon to make collections for the
Domestic Mission of Canada, and also for the D. C. S. this
quarter. I took up a collection for the former object on the
Sunday after Ascension and the amount received was |53.?5.
I should like very much to be in a position to hand to the
Treasurer of tho 1). C. S. the offerings of my Mission for the
present year, but I have always found it impossible to get th&
money from many subscribers until July or August, and I
have, therefore, postponed soliciting subscriptions except
from those who are always prepared, until that time. The
39
parishioners have, however, been fully informed of the
necessity of churchmen making a greater eifort than usual to
meet the pressing demands of the Society, both by myself and
Rural Dean Forsyth, who kindly addressed them u])on this
subject at our Deanery meeting in June last. The Bishop's
Pastoral and the occasional paper of the D. C. 8. have been
placed in their hands and 1 have no doubt from what I know
of the people that they will rise to the emergency and do their
share to avert the evil of closing up any Missions.
I will, therefore, guarantee that not less than $35.00 will be
paid to the Treasurer of the D. C. 8. from this Mission before
1st October next. I trust from the foregoing report your
Society will be able to form some idea of the work going on
our midst; and I hope and believe that if we work on in
m
quietness and confidence a still more encouraging report will
be presented from this Mission next year and the great mass
of the people- will show a still greater appreciation of the
abundant means of grace which are within their reach.
BRIGHT, QUEENSBURY AND SOUTxIAMPTON— REV.
W. LeB. McKIEL.
As was stated in my report last year an effort has been made
to restore Southampton and Queensbury to their former
position as a distinct Mission, with a resident clergyman.
To this end I drew up subscription lists, which I placed in
the hands of four laymen willing to underjbake the work.
The result has been that Southampton and Queensbury are
prepared to enter into agreement with the D. C. 8. to raise
anuually the sum of i|250 for a resident Clergyman, and they
ask the D. C. S. to supplement this amount with a grant as is
done in other Missions. Southampton and Queensbury will
make a contribution to the general fund of the D. C. 8. this
year of about $15. With a resident clergyman new life and
zeal will doubtless be awakened, and greater results may be
looked for in every way.
In Bright the services have been conducted as usual, viz. :
two services in every Sunday of the month but one — when I
am in Southampton — and a Wednesday evening service.
With God's blessing, I hope to present another large class
for confirmation at St. Paul s Church this summer, when we
look for a visit from the Coadjutor Bishop. I hope also that

arrangements may be made to have a confirmation at Millville,
in the Parish of Southampton.
Among the material improvements in the interior of St.
Paul's Church during tlie year have been alms bags and pulpit
hangings, the gift of Mrs. Medley ; a reredos and retable of
black-ash, with altar cross, from tl^e Rector. The walls of
the church have been tinted with kalsomine, and a new and
powerful cabinet organ, from the Karn Organ Co., of Wood-
stock, Ont., has been bought from McMurray & Co., at
Fredericton, at tlieir usual reduction of 25 per cent, to
-churches. The money for the organ has been all supplied by
the congregation, with the exception of .|5 from the Metro-
politan, and 15 from a friend in Nova Scotia.
Contributions in Bright will be about .f20.
BURTON— REV. W. GREER.
Re})orts contributions to the amount of $129.06.
CAMBRIDGE— REV. 0. H. HATHEWAY.
After the busy week of last Synod, his Lordbhip the Bishop
Coadjutor returned with me to this large Mission, and on
Sunday, July 6th, we drove to the Parish Church at Water-
borough. Here his Lordship baptized one male adult and
administered the sacred rite of confirmation to fourteen, five
of whom had driven that morning, through a heavy thunder-
storm, fifteen miles to be present and receive this sacred rite.
In the afternoon his Lordship j)reached in the Parish Church
•of Cambridge, and in the evening at St. James Church,
Lower Jemseg. On Monday, July 7th, we drove to the Parish
Ohurch of Cambridge at Mill Cove, when twenty-three were
presented and ** sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise."
His Lordship's loving words, both before and after Confirma-
tion, were listened to with deep attention. In the evening
his Lordship addressed the congregation of St. James Churcii
on behalf of the D. C. S. ; and on Wednesday made another
appeal in St. Luke's, Waterborough. The fruit of these
addresses is seen in our subscription list, which is an increase
of 25 per cent, on the previous year. mrriMs
I had the pleasure of driving Bishop Kingdon around
41
Orand Lake and Salmon River on a missionary trip, of which
his Lordship has written an account in the Occasional Paper
No. 7. From his remarks I would wish to draw the attention
of the Society to the result of that trip. Nine were baptized
and forty-eight confirmed, which shows that there is a grand
opening for the Church in the Parishes of Waterborough,
Chipman and Canning. And if the Parishes of Waterborough
and Chipman could be combined in a new Mission, there is
good prospects of success. One main feature of this combina-
tion would be that from Waterford to Maugerville would be
worked bv a continuous chain of Missionaries, whereas now
there is a large gap.
During my illness last fall our hearty thanks are due to the
Rector of Gagetown, who visited my sick and buried two
parishioners.
While I was unable to perform my duties, our worthy
Metropolitan, who is always so thoughtful and kind to his
"sons in Christ," gave me three months' leave of absence, and
appointed the Rev. N. R. Raven, of Halifax, Deacon, in
charge, who, notwithstanding the storms and difficulties, dis-
charged his ditties faithfully.
I was able to return in time for " Holv AVeek," when we had
service every night, and on Easter five services with two
celebrations.
The Parish Church at Mill Cove has been provided with a^
new set of lamps, a- d the chancel has been nicely painted in
panels by a kind fr nd. St. Luke's Church has S4o in the
savings bank as a start towards necessary repairs; and the
congregation of St. James Chnrch have decided to build a
stone church, and for that end are working faithfully and
energetically.
We have not received the %-l^ left to us by the will of Mr.
Scovil. Why this should be kept from us when the Society
have received $G5 as rent for storage in the building, we do
not understand.
I have met with much kindness all over this large Mission,
and while our outward work has prospered, I pray earnestly
that we are doing something to the glory of God and the
enlargement of His Holy Church.
Our register records one marriage, seven burials, twenty-nine
baptisms, and forty-nine confirmed.

CAMPOBELLO & WEST ISLES— REV. H. II. NEALES.
In making my annual report to the D. C. S., I desire to
correct, as far as possible, a prevalent but wrong idea tliat
this Mission is a strong and capable one. It is Skueiv Mission,
inasmuch as new work in the adjacent field is being taken up
— work as imjjortant as any new work in the Diocese. It is a
poo?' Mission, both as to numbers and as to financial ability.
We have but thirty-four communicants in the whole Mission,
and a small proportion of wealth. There is a feature in the
Mission that leads some to think we are better ofif than we
really are. I refer to the presence, during five or six weeks in
the summer, of a few wealthy American church people. While
many of these do much, considering the short time they are
with us, to forward local church projects, and to mark their
sympathy with the clergyman, yet they have the missionary
enterprises of their own Dioceses to carry forward, of sufficient
magnitude to absorb all their energies and funds, and cannot
he expected to take up the work of the D. 0. S. of New
Brunswick. I boldly make the assertion that this Mission is
one of the most needy of those seeking continued aid from the
Society. And leaving out of the question the people who live
in the immediate neighborhood of the little Church at Welsh-
pool, the Church in the Diocese has much to do to atone for
its past neglect of Campobello as a whole, and of the adjacent
islands. , '
The work is being carried on at three points.
1. At the Parish Church we have a weekly celebration of
the Holy Communion, either at 8 or 11 o'clock, and always
services at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m., with a Sunday-school at 2
p. M. We have daily prayers and holy- day celebrations in the
summer, with Fj'iday evening service and choir practice all
the year round. There are also special services in Advent and
Lent.
2. We have a Mission Station at Indian Island, one of the
West Isles. Here there is a Sunday-school under the careful
superintendance of Mrs. Howard ChaflPey. At the suggestion
of the Bishop Coadjutor, Mrs. Chaifey collected a sum of
money on the island, which was generously added to by the
Bishop, and, upon his recommendation, by the Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge. The result being a capital
Sunday-school library.
We have here a fortnightly Sunday service. Both service
43
I. nealp:s.
and Suuday-school are held in the Parish Scliool-room. This
has been made more suitable for the purpose by the gift of a
prayer-desk and banners from the Home Mission Guild. The
work here is most interesting, and the people, even those who
do not belong- to the Church of England, are most kind and
appreciative.
3. Then we are at work at Sarawak, a settlement on the
lower part of Campobello, about six miles from the Parish
Church. Here we have a small Sunday-school taught by Mrs.
William Lank and Mr. Wathen, two earnest members of the
Church. In this case too, we hold the Sunday-school and a
fortnightly Sunday service in the Parish School-room.
This work could not be carried on regularly without a horse
and wagon. That dithculty, however, has been overcome by
a few of the American Church people who were spending the
summer here generously giving me a capital horse and wagon.
The Sewing Society has recently placed a new cabinet organ
in the Parish Church. This Society, though few in numbers,
works quietly on year by year, and does much to help on the
work.
The Bishop Coadjutor visited this Mission on Saturday the
16th of August last, remaining until Tuesday. On Sunday
six candidates were confirmed. On Monday evening a meeting
was held on behalf of D. C. S. The Bishop was present at
seven services, and gave five addresses or sermons. His Lord-
shi]) was taken at his own request to Indian Island, where he
held a service and preached. He seemed much interested in
this part of the work, and has since aroused a strong feeling
of gratitude by his sympathy and kindness towards it.
I cannot close this report of my third year's work here
without noting, with much thankfulness, the general kindness
and friendliness our people have shown us. If only larger
numbers of them would show a more whole-hearted devotion
to the Church of our dear Lord, and would use more earnestly
their many opportunities of instruction, worship and com-
munion, our lives among them would be very happy and full
of satisfaction. Contributions abrut the same as last year.

doubt partially owing to its distance from any railroad, is
quite extensive. In times past, previous to the work carried
on by my esteemed predecessor, Rev. Ch. Hatheway, ai'^. ;
by Rev. G. Sterling, the Mission has been much neglected and
it will be several years before it can be expected to recover
from the effects of such neglect. However, I think that as a
whole the Avork so far done has produced encouraging results.
Newcastle, the centre of the Mission, both as to its position
and as to the number of Church people, has a fairly nice
Church, provided with a bell, altar, lectern, font, &c. We
are very anxious to get a vestry and some lamps for this
Church, as at present the Minister has to robe before the
congregation, which is both unbefitting to the character of
the building and in bad weather disagreeable. Our evening
services also are impeded for -want of lamps. The services
here are: Holy Communion once a month, morning and even-
ing prayer upon the first and third Sundays in the month,
with a service on one week-day night in the .nonth. There
is also a weekly Sunday-school. About sixteen miles down
the Grand Lake is Douglas Harbor, where I live in the old
glebe house, which, when I went to it last year, was a mere
ruin. Owing to the kindness of friends, especially that of
Bishop Kingdon, and some work the people did upon the
house, and a little money we raised by entertainments, four
rooms were made sutRciently habitable that my wife and I
were with difficulty able to live in them during the winter.
There are not many Church people here, but there is a grow-
ing interest in the Church, and all here, as indeed throughout
the Mission, seem friendly disposed towards her. Our little
Church here has also been greatly improved during the past
year. We have now a nice organ and carpet, but we sadly
want a font (as there is none) and an altar, for the present
one is very small, old and rickety — in fact a mere table, we
also want a vestry, and the Church will soon require
Teshingling and painting. The services here are on the second
and and fourth Sundays in the month, morning and evening,
also a Sunday-school upon those days, and there is also an
occasional weekly service, but my mission being so extensive,
and living as I do at one end of it, I spend much of my time
on the road. I am generally away from home a fortnight out
of every month. At Salmon Creek, twenty-six miles from
here and ten from Newcastle, there are several and an increas-
ing number of Church people. Here I hold a service upon
45
the Thursday before the third Sunday in every month, so as
to have time to drive back to Newcastle, round by Salmon
River, in time for Sunday duty there, beginning with Sunday-
school, morning service and afternoon service ; after which I
drive eight miles to Little River, where I have service in the
evening. Here also there is a small and increasing church
community. The Kev. G. Sterling and myself are the only
two Ministers who go regularly to this place. Both here and
;it Salmon Creek we have no Church, but the people are very
anxious for one at both places. This Mission has one
peculiarity — tliat all, certainly all the Church people are very
poor. In fact I do not think there are a dozen peojjle of all
denominations throughout the whole Mission who could be
classed as fairly rich, and most of these would be considered
poor in a city. Hence you will notice that I have stated our
wants in hopes that some richer friends may be able and
willing to help us. The people, yearly and sometimes oftener,
have an entertainment in each part of the Mission to raise
money, but we cannot do anything without some external
assistance. Let me add in conclusion, that as far as I can
learn there never has been any regular clergyman working in
the upper portion of the Mission, i. e., at Salmon Creek, be-
fore last March twelvemonths, when I was licensed as Reader
by tlie Metropolitan to work under Rev. G. Sterling, and thus
many who belonged to our Church have through neglect
joined other Christian bodies. Sinoe Trinity Sunday when I
was ordained Deacon, I have baptized one adult and four
children, and I hope to baptize several others shortly. In
addition to these there have been 48 confirmed by Bishop
Kingdon, and 22 adults and 22 infants baptized by the Rev.
G. H. Sterling during the past year. All the services are
generally well attended, and I believe God is blessing the work.

CHATHAM— KEV. D. FORSYTH. ^
During the past year the usual routine of Parish work luis
been regularly carried on, attended, I trust, with God's good
blessing. On Sunday, June 29th, 1884, we were favored with
the presence of the venerable Metropolitan, who took part in
the services of that day. In September last, the Rector, with
the kind assistance of the Rev. Dr. Partridge, of St. George's
Church, Halifax, N. S., organized '* St. Mary's Parochial
Guild," having for its objects the uniting of the members of
the congregation in sj'stematic work for God and His Churcii,
the promotion of social and friendly intercourse, and the
encouragement of greater attention to the duties of the
religious and devotional life. This organization began with a
membership of about thirty, and has held regular fortnightly
meetings. I trust that it may live and grow and become a
useful instrument for good. I am happy to report the success
•of the ** Juvenile Temperance Branch " of this Guild, which
now numbers 54 members, and holds fortnightly meetings.
In connection with this branch a fife-and-drum band has been
47
organized, with an excellent set of instruments which have
already been paid for.
Our "Young Women's Guild" has carried on its work
during the year very successfully, and in addition to many
works of charity, has purchased a first-class sewing machine,
and added a good sum to our fund for church improvements.
Our '* Parochial Missionary Association," or *' Mite Society,"
continues its good work in distributing useful and instructive
reading, and collecting '" mites " for the Incapacitated Clergy
Fund, or some similarly laudable object.
In May last we had the pleasure of a visit from his Lordship
the Bishop Coadjutor, who held two meetings and delivered
earnest addresses on behalf of the Diocesan Church Society.
I hope that these meetings will result in deepening the
interest of our people in the important work of the Society,
and lead some, who might no doubt give more liberally, to
increase their contributions to its objects.
As the collections are not yet completed, I am unable to
say exactly what amount will be contributed this year from
this Parish to the general fund. We are passing through a
period of very great commercial depression, but I am glad to
say that our offerings for the Domestic and Foreign Missions
of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Can-
adian Church have not fallen off. Efforts are being made by .
the Church Wardens to secure more liberal, general and sys-
tematic contributions to our Parochial Fund to meet local
requirements. I hope, however, that notwithstanding these
facts the Venerable Church Society will receive that fair share
of support which it so richly deserves.
I am glad to be able to say that we are now looking forward
to an early visit from the Most Reverend the Metropolitan,
who will (d. v.) hold a confirmation in this Parish in August
next.
In conclusion, I am thankful to God for health and ability
to continue regularly the daily and Sunday services and
pastoral visitations, and I trust that in these and all other
works His glory may be promoted and enduring blessings
conveyed to His iieople.

my Mission since my lust report, is the visit of his Lordship
the Bishop Coadjutor, in August List, for tlie purj)ose of
holding a Coiitimiution. The result of tiiis visit was very
satisfactory, the nunil)er of candidates being largely in excess
of thjit at any other time, viz.: 33, of which 2il were con-
tirmed in Blackville, two came from the Parish of Nelson,
and nine l)elonged to Derby.
I am glad to be able to report that our Church in Derby has
at length been supplied with a font. The base and bowl are
of white American marble and the shaft of 8t. George granite.
It stands on a cruciform platform, and is altogether about
four feet in height. In its jiresent state it cost $50, but it
needs a cover and other fittings, which I hope soon to be able
to procure. Efforts are now being made to obtain a stained-
glass window for the chancel in memory of the late Rev. James
Hudson, who built the Church, and whose memory is still
cherished among the people here.
The interior of the Church in Blackville has been entirely
refitted during the past summer. The ceiling has been kalso-
mined, the windows frosted and tinted, the walls painted, and
the seats grained. A very nice cabinet organ has also been
procured from the Uxbridge manufacturers and has been very
nearly all paid for.
I have made several visits to Rogersville, a station on the
I. C. R. about 22 miles distant, where there are a few Pro-
testant families, some of whom have a nominal connection
with the Church. The congregations were small but attentive
and interested. I have travelled during the past year in the
discharge of the duties connected with my Mission 2,332 miles,
not counting the journeys undertaken on account of the
temporal interests of the Church.
I have much pleasure in stating that the Bishop Coadjutor
paid my Parish a visit in May in the interests of the D. C. S.
The season being backward the roads were almost inipassable,
but the attendance at his Lordship's meeting was very credit-
able, and the collection at the end encouraging. It is our
hope that his Lordship will pay us many more similar visits,
only, if possible, at a more favorable season, when we shall be
able to give him a more hearty welcome.
The year, financially speaking, has been a very bad one.
What with the failure of the lumber business and the failure
of railroad contractors to meet their liabilities, many families
in one part of my mission have been reduced to great straits.

D<JrCIIESTER— REV. J. ROY CAMPBELL.
Although the strain arising from this Parish having be-
come self-supporting continues to be felt, the interests of the
Society have not been lost sight of. The two annual sermons,
together with subscriptions to the General Purposes Fund,
will amount to about two hundred dollars.
Since last June we have been visited by the Bishop Coadjutor
imd the Most Reverend the Metropolitan. The Coadjutor
paid us his fifth visit in May last, on which as on former
occasions, he advanced the Society's interests. After his
third visit, which was particularly in the interest of the In-
capacitated Clergy Fund, a Committee was formed, and the
sum of nine hundred dollars — payable in five years — was sub-
scribed. Of that sum one hundred and forty-seven dollars
have already been paid, and more will shortly follow.
On June the 14th, the Most Reverend the Metropolitan
paid us a visit, confirming twenty-three persons, and admin-^
istering the Holy Communion to upwards of one hundred
communicants.
As one of the earliest first fruits of the new Church Act, it
is proper to record that on Tuesday, June the 18th, at a largely
attended meeting of the pew owners, it was resolved unani-
mously to re-seat the Church, and with certain conditions and
limitations to make it free. There is reason to fear, however,
that from very complex parochial circumstances, the work is
not likely to be carried out for some time. Yet, while w&
breathe, we hope.
FREDERICTON— REV. G. GOODRIDGE ROBERTS.
I am happy to be able to report that the subscriptions and
collections lor the present year from the Parish of Frederic-

•besides this nearly $000 have been given this year towards

annually for five years. This includes $102 interest on a
block sum of $1,760 given towards this fund by one parishioner,
Mrs. Gordon.
GAGETOWN— REV. JAMES NEALES.
The Church's work has been going on favorably during the
last twelve months in this Parish, for though in feeble health
and with failing strength myself, yet by the dutiful help of
my son Scovil, a Divinity student and licensed lay-reader,
I have been able not only to maintain but to increase the
number of services and Sunday-schools. Every Sunday lie
holds afternoon service and Sunday-school at a station in
Sawsfield, and every alternate Sunday he leaves home early in
the morning, drives thirteen miles to Summerhill, has feervice
there at half-past ten, then Sunday School, and on his way
home, stops at Sawsfield, and has afternoon service and
Sunday-school there.
Since our last D. C. S. meeting I have had the satisfaction
of helping the vacant Parish of Petersville, by occasional sick
visits ai)d by attending four funerals there. There were t'vo
Sunday funerals, when I had morning service with Holy
Communion in my Parish Church, and then, without a
moment's delay, drove to the house of the dead, preached a
funeral sermon, and taking a fresh horse went on to Cootliill
Church, and finished the service by the grave.
I had also the gratification of taking some duty for the
Rector of Cambridge during his severe sicknes? last autumn.
ministering to the sick, and attending two funerals for Jiini.
A great discouragement to us here is the way in whicli our
ablest young people leave us just as they are doing good work
for the Church, and we have continually to recruit our bund
of Sunday-school teachers, members of our Guild, and helper?
in our choir ; but hitherto hath the Lord helpgjd us, and we|
must set up our Ebcnezer Avith faith, and hope, and thank;
giving. The D. C. S. collectors have not yet finished thci
work, but I trust that the result will be no loss than iii|
previous years.

GRAND FALLS AND MADAWASKA-
ARMSTRONG.
■REV. W. B.
I took charge of this Mission during the first week in July,
1884, since which time the services have been regularly main-
tained in both places. As tiiere was no house to be obtained
at Edmundston, Madawaska, I have rented one at Grand
Falls, with the Metropolitan's sanction. Here we have service
every alternate Sunday, morning and evening, and the
services have been well attended, especially during the winter
months,, when often there would be no other Protestant service
in the place. As the organ in the Church had been about
sixteen years in use, we decided to procure a new one. Ac-
cordingly we have had for about two months the great
satisfaction of worshipping with a new instrument, which has
been generally admired for its beauty of tone, and has helped
to make the service of song a pleasure and delight.
At Edmundston, Parish of Madawaska, when I came there
were only the outside walls, foundation and roof of a new
Church. When, however, the parishioners knew that they
were going to have a clergyman amongst them, they deter-
mined at once to go on with the finishing of the Church, which
had been in this unfinished condition for some years. The
services meanwhile were held in the Court House. The work
commenced on the 3rd of July, and on the 14th of October
we had the pleasure of worshipping in the new Church, which
is a neat and comfortable building, in every way suitable to
the place. In the three months and a half about $.*JOG were
expended, being raised partly by help from outside, but
chiefly by the efforts of three or four of the parishioners.
We all feel in this connection that our hearty thanks are due
to Mr. T. Medley Richards, Church warden, who was indefati-
gable in his endeavors to get the Church finished, and who, at
the Easter meeting, presented the building committee with
the sum of $100, which money he had advanced to for>,-U'd
the work.
Our services here also are well attended, almost every Pro-
testant in the place being represented. And here I must
thank the parishioners of Madawaska for the very hearty and
kind manner in which they have always met me, and for the
prompt manner in which they have met not only the assess-
ment of the Society but also all other calls. If such open-
handed and regular support were the rule, we should not hear

GREENWICH— REV. D. W. PICKETT.
There will be no reduction this year in the assessment of
contributions from Greenwich to the general purposes of the
Society, for though some give less than before, the difference
will be made up by the increased number of subscribers ; but
owing to the present alleged scarcity v " money payment can-
not be made to the Treasurer before i^c '\v-\ of the year.
On the 23rd October last we had h privilege and the
pleasure of a short visit from his Loiusnip the Bishop Co-
adjutor, when thirteen candidates, who had been attending a
class for some time previously, were admitted to confirmation.
The attendance at the Church was large, though the weather
was unfavorable for those at a distance, and many beside the
candidates were, I have no doubt, confirmed in their attach-
ment to the Church.
Only one Sunday-school is in operation this year, and in this
the greater part of the work falls upon myself. We have to
report the removal from the Parish during the past year of
two large families, and of several of the younger members of
the Church, and our communicants' roll, choir, Sunday-
schools and other organizations have suffered much in con-
sequence. Not a single addition, if I remember rightly, has
been made to our number from any other Parishes. This
emigration, continued from year to year, has had the effect
of leaving the work of raising the required assessment to be
done by a comparatively small number, and this fact, together
with the limited means of our church people generally, will
not, I trust, be overlooked in the arrangement of the new
assessment list.
I regret that I cannot report much proffress in the matter
of church building. Not a very great deal has been done since
last year, owing to the want of funds, but do hope that the
53

committee who have the building in charge will endeavor to
advance the Avork so far that it may be occupied during the
coming winter.
Contributions to the Society may be set down at $58.
HAMPTON— REV. 0. S. NEWNHAM.
There is not much to report from the Parish of Hampton
which would be of interest to the Society.
Since the annual meeting of last year the work of the Church
has gone on without intermission. The services in St. Paul's
Church, Hampton; St. Andrew's, French Village; at Hampton
Station, and Hampton Village, have been continued, and the
summer service on Darling's Island has been re-commenced.
I am also able to report that services are now held fortnightly
at Smith town and at Nauwigewauk, so that there is a service
of the Church within a reasonable distance of every family in
the Parish. During Advent and Lent special week-day services
wore held in the Parish Church and at French Village, which
were well attended.
The great importance of instructing the children and young
people in the principles of the doctrine of Christ, has not been
overlooked, and your Society will be glad to know that the
attendance at the Sunday-schools at Hampton Station and
Hampton Village is increasing. The average at each school
at present is about fifty. A Sunday-school is also held on
Darling's Island with an attendance of ten ; at Smithtown
with an attendance of fourteen ; and at French Village with
twenty-one. It is hoped that a school will be opened at Nau-
wigewauk at an early date. A suitable person to take charge
of it is all that is wanted.
On the 6th of last August his Lordship the Bishop Coadjutor
administered the rite of confirmation to thirty candidates —
nine males and twenty-one females ; and on June 7th of this
year the Most Reverend the Metropolitan administered the rite
of confirmation to fifteen candidates — twelve males and three
females. Notwithstanding his advanced years, his Lordship
preached two sermons, confirmed fifteen candidates, and drove
twenty miles. The service at French Village — the first con-
firmation service ever held in St. Andrew's Chapel — will long
be remembered by those who were present.
♦Since July of last year forty-five persons have been

confirmed — one of whom was from the Parish of Upham — and
fifty communicants have been added to the list.
The envelope system has been introduced for the purpose of
collecting the Rector's stipend, and has been found to work
well. At the present time there are over 100 subscribers, and
the amount of subscriptions is over 8900.
The vestry of the Parish Church has been carpeted and
furnished, some choir seats put in the Church, and also some
other improvements made.
At St. Andrew's, French Village, a chancel has been built
in the Church, a new carpet provided, and also a credence
bracket, lectern and prayer-desk. There is now a vestry in
this Church, which is a great comfort, as formerly the clergy-
man had to robe in the presence of the congregation.
In April last the Parish was favored with a visit from his
Lordship the Bishop Coadjutor, who preached at the various
stations - and addressed a meeting in the interests of your
Societj.
Ana now for that part of my report which is of the greatest
interest to the Society, viz. : the report of contributions. The
amount will, I think, show a slight increase over last year,
but not so much as I would wish. The list is not quite com-
plete, but will not be less than $125, possibly something more.
I am about to make a change in plan and time of collecting,
which I hope may realize a larger amount for another year;
for I shall not be satisfied until the Parish of Hampton
returns at the least $200 per annum in subscriptions to the
Diocesan Church Society.
JOHNSTON- REV. C. P. HANINGTON.
I took up my abode in this Parish on July 8th of last year,
being its first incumbent since it was made a separate one.
From that date to the present, regular services have been held
at four different parts of the Parish, at which the attendance
has been very good. During the year the Parish has been
favored with a visit from both the Metropolitan and the
Bishop Coadjutor. The Bishop Coadjutor spent two days in
July here, holding services and addressing the people on the
T). C. S. A large gathering was held at Goshen on July 9tli,
locally termed a " tea-soiree," at which the Bishop was present,
as well as Canon Medley and Rev. Mr. Cowie. The funds
oo
raised on that occasion were for the completion of tlie new
Church there. In October, the Church being finished, was
consecrated by the MetropoHtan. The building was filled to
overflowing with an attentive congregation. The Bishop's
address was a very practical and impressive ope, and one
which we cannot soon forget. The Church was consecrated
under the name of St. Paul's.
Sunday-schools are in full operation in different parts of the
Parish and are mostly very satisfactory. About $15 were
raised in the Parish for a Library for the schools, to wliich
tlie S. P. C. K. kindly added a grant of books to the like
amount, so that we now have a useful library, divided among
tliree schools, of 104 volumes.
The Missionary has been holding confirmation classes dur-
ing the winter, as regularly as the weather, &c., would
permit, in different parts of the Parish. The Bishop
Coadjutor promises to hold a confirmation here after the
Synod, when between forty and fifty will probably be con-
firmed. Thera are many more who wish to be confirmed, but
who were unable to attend the classes during the winter,
owing to their living at a great distance and the badness of
the roads. The Missionary hopes to be able to present
another number to be confirmed by the end of the year or the
beginning of next.
The Church people in the Parish are for the most part
thoroughly intere ted in the progress of the Church, and have
proved themselves willing and ready to do what they could
towards its support and the improving of the services.
Everything seems encouraging, and the Missionary cannot
but feel that the Society has shown great wisdom in separating
and giving a grant to this Parish, so large a one as it is ia
area, and containing so manv Church families ; and although
many who call themselves Churchmen are but nominally so,
yet all of these, he trusts, will in course of time learn what it
means to be Churchmen, and will be led to make full use of
all the privileges, so free and yet so priceless, that the Church
holds out to them, to fit them for eternity.
The subscription list is not yet completed, but the Parish
will contribute about 180 towards the general purposes of the
>Societv.

KINGSCLEAR— REV. H. MONTGOMERY.
Since our laet report but few events have happened beyond
tlie ordinary routine of parochial work. Looiiing over the
register, we find that there have been fourteen baptisms,
three burials, and two marriages. Two of the number bap-
tized were members of Anabaptist families; four were members
of Methodist families, and one in a Presbyterian family.
Three of the whole number were adults. We hope soon "to
form a class to prepare for confirmation.
To the ladies of the Parish and other kind friends a\ re
deeply indebted for untiring and earnest efforts in raising the
sum of $470 at a bazaar held at Fern Hill, last September.
This sum is now being devoted towards paying for the re-
modelling of the Rectory, which, when finished, will be one
of the most commodious and comfortable parsonages in the
Diocese. In the Parish Church new windows with temporary
glass have taken the place of the old ones ; they are in the
form of mullions of neat design, and soon we hope to see them
filled with stained glass in memory of some of the faithful
departed. Three Sunday-schools are in operation in the
Parish, all of which promise a good harvest for the Church,
if carefully attended to. There are many things to encourage
us in the work among them; one, and that a very important
feature, the good-will and hearty sympathy which exists be-
tween pastor and people. But Kingsclear, like every other
Parish, has its shadows as well as sunshine.
We regret having to record the loss, through removals from
the Parish and by death, of twenty-six members of the Churcli,
thus making a considerable decrease in the parochial list, as
well as lessening the contributions towards carrying on the
work. But we are looking forward to seeing newcomers to
take their places, as the Parish can ill afford to have the num-
ber on the parochial list decreased at the rate it has continued
for the past four years.
Personally I have been the recipient of many kindnesses iit
the hands of the parishioners, for which, as well as for the
affectionate spirit which prompted these tokens, I am deeply
grateful. To our esteemed lay-reader, Lt.-Col. Maunsell, I
am also indebted for his kindness in supplying services at the
Parish Church during my absence from the Parish last Septem-
ber. Nor must we forget to mention that during the summer
our services were brightened, our Church filled to overflowing,
57
and our hearts cheered for several Sundays by the presence of
the officers and men of the Infantry School Corps of Fred-
ericton. During which time there was a church parade and
military service every Sunday morning, at which the band
and choristers from the corps kindly assisted. We cannot
close our report without thanking the Dear Master for His
many mercies and blessings to us during the year past, and we
pray that lie may continue to abundantly bless our efforts and
make us all to be of one heart and mind in doing the work
to wlr"^' He has called us.

MONCTON— REV. A. HOADLEY.
I beg to report collections and subscriptions up to the present
time to the amount of $80. This amount will be quite
largely augmented, I hope, before our list is closed.
The work of the Church is making satisfactory progress in
almost all its branches. Our communicants are steadily in-
creasing ; the Sunday services are well attended ; the Sunday-
school is in a better condition now than at any time since I
took charge of the Parish. We find the new opening and
closing offices compiled by the Clergy of the Kingston Deanery
most helpful. Our greatest difficulty in this part of our work
is to retain our hold upon the lads when they feel they are
too large for the Sunday-school.
I mentioned in my last report that through the kindness of
his Lordship Bishop Kingdon, a Mission Hall had been sup-
plied in a neglected, poor and thickly-populated portion of
the town. This hall, which is composed of three rooms, has,
through the liberality of churchmen and churchwomen, been
furnished with most of the necessary furniture and articles
for carrying on a real Missionary work.
On the first Thursday in Advent Bishop Kingdon kindly
visited us again, when we formally opened the hall with very
hearty services. The large room in which the services are
held was crowded. I feel that our winter's work in this hall
has been a most hopeful and blessed one. The night-school

was attended by about fifty scholars, many of whom also
attended, and still attend, the Sunday-school. In addition to
the night school we had two and three services during the
week, which were also fairly attended.
The Sunday work here has been Sunday-school in the after-
noon, and Mission Service at 8 p. m. Both the Sunday-school
and the service have been remarkably well attended, quite be-
yond my most sanguine expectations. I could not help feelino-
that our ordinary morning and evening prayers were not
exactly suited for this work, especially when many of the
people could not read. We have, however, persevered with a
much shortened form, and added some of the prayers found
in the Bishop of Bedford's Cottage Lectures.
The service is rendered fully choral. The attendance at
the beginning of the summer somewhat fell off, but since the
introduction of the choral service, in which the people join
most heartily, the attendance has much increased. I shall be
glad to be allowed to mention those who have kindlv contri-
buted towards this good work: His Lordship Bishop Kingdon
has not only provided the building and site, but also given
books, oleographs, and other useful articles for the work; the
S. P. C. K. made us a grant of about £8 worth of books and
mission tracts ; the Warminster Missionary Union, through
the Rev. Canon Sir T. E. Philipps, £5 ; the Misses Trevenan
£10 ; Mr. T. W. Daniel, $5 ; Mr. G. A. Schofield, $5 ; Mr.
G. S. Smith, $2. Mr. Gushing kindly gave us all the posts
and scantling for a fence, and others have aided in many ways
this work for God's poor. I am deeply indebted to Mrs. Bor-
den, Miss Dunham, Mr. Wran, and Mr. McLeod, for their
personal aid. ' '
Our thanks are also due to the Society for its liberal grant
of $200 per annum for an assistant. Mr. C. A. Saunder ren-
dered me most valuable aid during Lent and Easter. On Low
Sunday the Eev. A. J. Reid was ordained Deacon, and came
at once to assist in the work of the Church here. He has in
every way been a great help and comfort to me personally,
and has done most valuable work. Since his arrival amongst
us we have been enabled to open new work at Painsec, where
we have a fortnightly Sunday morning service which is well
attended. r .i
We are hoping, through the untiring energy and devotion
of the *' Willing Workers' Society," to place in the Church
tower during the coming month a peal of three bells of about
59
•2,000 pounds weight. We are anticipating the pleasure of a
visit from His LoYdship the Metropolitan in September for
confirmation.
MUSQUASH- REV. H. M. SPIKE.
I have nothing of very special interest to report to D. C. S.
We trust our subscriptions will be fully as much as last year^
that is, $100.00. There seems to be a growing interest ia
favor of the Church. There is a readiness to sustain the work
of the Society ; but the very needy circumstances of many
prevent them from doing as much as they would wish. I have
urged upon the parishioners the necessity of meeting the
amount gradually withdrawn by the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel, and I hope their united efforts will enable
us to niefit the amount required by the D. C. S.
There has been considerable improvements made jn St. Ann's
Church, Musquash. The bell presented by Mr. David Ander-
son has been placed in the tower built for that purpose, and
the people have very liberally provided the materials and
money required for these improvements. The attendance also
at the various services of the Church have been encouraging.
The \isit of the Coadjutor Bishop, last summer, for th&
confirmation of thirty-five persons, and the other services at
that time at the different Churches of this Parish, were highly
appreciated by the parishioners.

NEWCASTLE— REV. J. H. S. SWEET.
-••:'}|;' ): •, ■
My report this year to the Diocesan Church Society must
necessarily be brief, as nothing that calls for any special re-.
mark has taken place in the Mission during the past twelve
months. The ordinary routine work of the Parish has been
carried on without any let or hindrance ; the services have
been held uninterruptedly ; the congregations have been well
sustained ; the number of communicants has been steadily on.

'the increase ; and the free-will offerings have covered the
present needs.
A confirmation was held in the Parish last summer, and the
little band of seventeen who then came forward for tlie
Heavenly Gift have all, with just two or three exceptions, be-
come regular communicants. I should also mention that the
"Coadjutor Bishop, who administered the rite in question, paid
us a second visit in May last in the interest of your Society,
and I trust his stirring address will not be barren of results.
The debt upon the Sunday-school house is, I am happy to
report, at last paid, so that the Parish is at present free from
any incubus of that nature. This is a source of much grati-
fication to myself, as we shall now be able to turn our atten-
tion to much needed work that we could not touch while the
Parish was laboring under the above debt. For the extinction
of this debt too much praise cannot be given to the faithful
workers of the Young Women's Guild, and to those who have
systematically collected the small monthly offerings of the
people by means of a Mite Society.
Every effort has been made to keep the annual contributions
up to the scale of last year ; but if they fall short the Society
must attribute the deficiency, not to a lessening interest in the
Church's work, but to the general dullness of the times.
Several of the lumber mills in and around Newcastle have done
little or no work, and this keeps many out of employment and
makes money scarce. Two or three of our Church families
have left the town since my last report, and thus, even if the
times were brighter than they are at present, we are not so
able to contribute as last year. However, the people are, I
think, doing their best. I cannot state positively just now the
exact sum I shall be able to place in the Treasurer's hands.
The desire not to take up the subscriptions until after the re-
ceipt and distribution of the Bishop's Pastoral, and the late
arrival of the latter, must be accepted as an excuse for the
incompleteness of our list at the present date. I can, however,
promise that they will not fall short of $100. For purposes
outside of the general fund of the Church Society we have
raised the following amounts: Foreign Missions of the S. P. G.,
$5 ; Domestic Missions, $10.19 ; Society for Promoting Chris-
tianity among the Jews, $6.73; Incapacitated Clergy Fund,
$5 ; W. and 0. Fund, $7. This makes a total with the above
■of $133.92. I trust this may be added to before this appears
in print.

NEW DENMARK— REV. N. M. HANSEN.
We have now passed a year since the consecration of our-
Church, and I am glad to say that the effect of it has been
greater than I sujiposed. There is now a " Church people,"
regularly attending, when not prevented by bad weather, and
the attendance is gradually increasing. The warmest thanks
to all the contributors. We are now painting it outside ; the
Hon. B. R. Stevenson has been so kind to give us a barrel of
oil for that purpose.
The settlers in Foley Brook and Blue Bell Mountain have a
long distance to the Church, and only a few of them have a
horse. I therefore give them a service in private houses once
a month, on a week day.
As long as possible I find it necessary to take part in the
Sunday-school work — which is impossible when I have two-
services on Sunday. I know that the future success of the
Church in New Denmark depends on the right education of
the children in Church principles, and I feel the duty of that
laid upon me.
My contribution list will, I hope, be a little over 120. W©-
feel wc ought to do better, but under the present circum-
stances we can not do more.
NEW MARYLAND— REV. F. ALEXANDER.
During the last year the usual services in this Mission have-
been held with as much regularity as possible. On four
occasions I was prevented from being present by impassable
roads, and once by illness. The number of those in the Mission
who communicate regularly is increasing. At the early ser-
vice, at 8.30 A. M., on Trinity Sunday, twenty-three persons
communicated, several coming long distances to be present.
This is the largest number I have ever had at one time.
The register records five infants baptized, and six persons
buried, in the year. Among honored names in the list of
those who have passed away, deservedly and sincerely mourned,,
is that of Mrs. W. H. McKnight, of whose work in the Sun-
day-school and Church generally, I have so often spoken.
Those alone, who knew her, can understand fully the loss we
have sustained by her death. Taken from us in the goodness
and wisdom of God, in the prime of a holy and useful life, the-

memory of her many social virtues and faithful discharge of
Christian duty will long remain.
The Sunday-school, though not so largely attended as for-
merly, is yet regularly held. It is at present under the
superintendence of Miss Alice Fisher, who devotes herself to
its duties with great diligence and conscientiousness.
The Church-wardens' accounts since Easter, 1884, show un
increase in the offertory collections of ten dollars, and a
considerable balance to the Church's credit, after meeting all
expenses of the year. I am glad to say, also, that of the sum
of $200 salary paid me during the year by the D. C. S., we
have been able co refund to the Society $191.93. The Mission
may, therefore, be said to be almost self-supporting.
This summer we hope to have the foundation of the Church,
which has become unsafe, repaired. There is also a desire
ex,pres8ed in the Mission to build a horse and waggon sheii near
the Church, for the accommodation of parishioners and others
on Sundays.
I have nothing further to add, except to commit humbly to
His merciful care, wlio has hitherto so kindly prospered us.

NORTON— REV. E. A. VVARNEFORD
Writes that the contributions, not yet completed, will be a
little more than last year.
PETITCODIAC— REV. C. WILLIS
Reports contributions to W. & 0. Fund $7.12, and for
General Purposes $80.
In making my report for the past year I find that I can not
yet make any definite statement as to the sum total of our
contributions for the General Fund of the D. C. S., but wliile
promising eighty dollars I hope to raise a much larger sum.
The effect of the Bishop's Pastoral, just received, should be a
more liberal contribution than in past years. In May we had
a visit from the Bishop Coadjutor, and although many were
absent from the service, it being such a busy time of year for
farmers, yet a good congregation came together and heard a
most interesting account from his Lordship as to how the
♦33
il discharge of
leted, will be a
^7.13, and for
money subscribed by the laity, to the General Fund of the
D. C. Society, had been expended. I feel sure that all pres-
ent must have felt thankful for the amount of Missionary
work reported as accomplished.
The Most Reverend, the Metropolitan, also visited us on the
nth inst., when thirty-nine persons — seventeen males and
twenty-two females — were presented by the Rector for the sacra-
DTjcntal ordinance of confirmation. His Lordship's eminently
practical address will long be remembered, not only by the
candidates, but by the overflowing congregation.
I would here like to add that the congregations at the dif-
ferent stations have been improving, not only in numbers,
but in reverence and devotion.
At Polleti Ri *er Siding the members of the Church have
just con.pletcd a muc' needed work, namely, a good solid
foundation-wall undo, the Church, which before stood on
cedar posts. In ct !iciusion I would say that the Rev. Mr.
Hanington h ,'^ing left me in,st summer, his place has been
filled first by Mr Morris Taylor, a lay reader, now in Ontario,
and since Christmas by B. W. Roger Taylor, also a lay reader.
I cannot but express great thankfulness for the assistance I
have received from them both. With regard to the latter, who
has been most successful and earnest in his work, I trust that
circumstanccc may permit him to remain and continue the
good work begun so encouragingly.
PRINCE WILLIAM— REV. ARTHUR LOWNDES.
i hzg to report that on my arrival here, June 10, last year,
I found two matters requiring immediate attention. The
repair of All Saints Church, Magaguadavic, and the settlement
of the litigation over tlie Dumfries' Glebe Lands.
All Saints Church has been practically rebuilt, seeing that
the Church has been raised, the floor levelled, cross beams in-
serted to keep the walls from spreading, the walls replastered,
a new roof put on and painted, a new stove and new lamps
fitted, a- vestry erected and furnished, the chancel recarpeted,
a reredos erected and the altar furnished with proper orna-
ments and hangings. The whole at a cost, beyond the labor,
of over $3i50, of which only $38 were given outside of the
settlement. All the work except "the carpeting was done
voluntarily.

It is hoped to shingle and puint the walls of the Church
and repair the belfry this summer. Towards the cost of this
work, which will be about $100, $50 have been already sub-
scribed.
When the fabric of God's house has been restored, much
will be required for its adornment.
As to the Dumfries' Glebe Lands a final settlement was come
to on May 2, last, with the concurrence of the Bishop, the
result being that a dispute originating in 1867 is closed at last,
and that the Church holds in undisputed possession, a lot of
land of about one hundred acres, free from all encumbrance,
and a note of hand for $300.
With regard to the other buildings: St John's Church,
Magundy, needs over $300 to put it in repair. The building
is so dilapidated that it is very doubtful whether the erection
of a new Church would not be cheaper in the end than the
repairing of the old fabric. The congregation of St. John's
is small, though willing, and therefore it is difficult to know
what course would be the best to pursue.
St. Clements, the Parish Church, is also in sad want of
repair, and here though the congregation is likewise small, it
is not so willing as at Magundy, and the corporation funds
are not available, as they have been steadily spent on other
objects than the repair of the Churches in the Parish.
St. Pmils, Dumfries, has had some repairs put on it, but
as it is only three miles distant from St. Clements, and the
few Church folk in Dumfries — except one family — reside
between the two Churches, and all the church people along
the river road in both Parishes would not fill a third of either
Church — 1 would strongly urge the closing of St. Paul's, and
if possible, later on, the erection of a Hall for Sunday-school
and Mission services at the Barony or Allendale.
The Rectory needs substantial repairs to make it habitable
next winter. It is neither ra.n nor frost proof.
The Churchyard of St. Paul's is a disgrace to a Christian
community, and indeed I do hope that before my next report
all the Churchyards in these Parishes will show some signs of
care and evidences of the belief in the resurrection. They are
all too sadly neglected. A formal visitation of these Parishes
was made by our able and zealous Rural Dean, the Rev. Leo.
Hoyt, January 13 and 16, which has already produced benefit,
and will, as his recommendations are acted upon, produce
great and lasting results.

stored, much
I am glad to bo able to say that 1 only once missed giving
a service every Sunday in each of the three churches in the
Parish of Prince William, and that till St. Paul's. Dumfries,
was closed, I also gave a service every Sunday in that church.
Since my ordination there has been a weekly celebration.
I liave made an accurate census of the church people of Prince
William, and find that (excepting such distant and inaccessible
{)oints as St. Croix and McAdam) there are only 41 families,
consisting of 55 men, 59 women, and 87 clr'ldren, making a
total of JiOl. A Parish magazine was started last August.
The Right Rev., the Bishop Coadjutor, paid us a visit of
four days, June 19 to 23, confirming nineteen persons and
urging the claims of yuur Society. I waited for his Lordship's
visit before asking for subscriptions, but cannot hope to remit
more than a tenth of your grant by the 15th of August.
I cannot conclude this report without stating that I have
been asked to hold services at Harvey, and York Mills in
Manners Sutton, and repeatedly pressed to visit Millville in
Queensbury. I have not been able to find time to do more than
])ay two hurried visits to York Mills. I intend, however, hold-
iiii; a week day service there occasionally, and hope to spend a
week this summer on a missionary visit in Southampton, North-
ampton, and Queensbury, as requested by the deanery. I
certainly think that Manners Sutton and Queensbury should
be placed on the same footing as Ludlow and Aberdeen, and
be inserted on the list of vacant missions. Quite as heart-
rending an Occasional Paper could be written concerning
Manners Sutton and Queensbury as that on Ludlow and
Blissfield. •• .

RESTIGOUCIIE— REV. E. P. FLEWELLING.
Owing to sickness in my household at the time when my
report of last year should have been prepared and forwarded,
no report appeared from this Mission.
Since last report, our work has been carried on without
much interruption, although during the past winter the
unusual quantity of snow made travelling very difficult. The
number of communicants has increased from sixty-five to
ninety-two. The daily services in Advent and Lent have been
well attended, and the Sunday congregations are also larger.

In September, 1883, we were greatly cheered by a visit at
Oampbelltori from our beloved Bishop, but much to our regret
his Lordship could not visit Dalhousie also. Two candidates
were presented at Campbellton for confirmation.
In September, 1884, His Lordship, the Bishop Coadjutor,
came to us and spent three days among us. On Sunday morn-
ing fourteen candidates were presented for confirmation at
Dalhousie. At Campbellton ten were presented on the evening
of the same day. On Monday, at Dalhousie, after an evening
service and an address in the interests of the Church Society,
another candidate was presented for " The laying on of
hands.'- This, the first visit of His Lordship to this Mission,
will be long remembered ; and the stirring words of the
several addresses will not soon be forgotten.
Dalhousie. When the Rector is at home prayers are said
daily, morning and evening, in the Parish Church, in accord-
ance with the directions in the Book of Common Prayer con-
cerning the service of tlie Church. It is purposed to continue
these services until the winter at least. The Rectory has been
greatly improved by painting, both outside and inside ; and,
thanks to the ladies, the improvements are paid for,
CampbelUo'n. In this part of the Mission the number of
attendants at the services is steadily increasing. A fair pro-
{)ortion of the Lenten Services have been held hero. , The
arge number present at these services has been most gratify-
ing. In this Parish much has been done this year to reduce
the amount of our indebtedness. It is hoped that by the cud
of the year the debt will be very small. The new pipe organ
is now paid for.
I have still occasion to report the great need of (7 bell for
Christ Church. We have as yet no means for calling our
people together for worship. Will not some one or mort of
our brethren who have a bountiful supply of this world's goods
relieve our necessity ?
The outposts. At Balmoral the services have been held us
usual and are highly aj)preciated. The number of EnglirJli-
speaking people in the settlement is now very small, and tlie
congregations are necessarily small.
In the Metapedia District (such is the name by which we
designate the territory beyond Campbellton) during the past
year, the number of services has been largely inci*eased, and
were held regularly until the really im})a88able state of tlie
roads in the latter part of the winter. Those services were
67
held at points from 26 to 36 miles from Dalhousie. There is
a large field for work in the Metapedia District, and a large
number of people that ought to be ministered to by the Church ;
but the work cannot be properly done in addition to the work
in Dalhousie and Campbellton. The time has come when
there is great need that Campbellton should have a priest of
our church in rcndence, with regular and frequent services in
the Metapedia District. In my humble judgment this matter
ia well worthy of the consideration of the Church Society.
Jacquet River. Because of the increase of the work in
Campbellton and beyond, I have not been able to hold any
services here. I could not do more than visit the sick and
bury the dead. Here there is a large field for cultivation,
and it ought to he cultivated ; and, if properly tilled, I firmly
believe it would yield a fair return for labor done.
Since my report in 1883, in the several parts of the Mission,
two {idults and fifty-four children have been, by baptism,
brought into covenant with the Master, and one has been
formally received into the Church from the Roman com-
munion ; twenty-seven candidates have been confirmed ; mar-
riage has been solemnized three times, aud sixteen of my little
flock have "fallen asleep." The body of a stranger has been
also committed to the ground — "earth to earth, ashes to ashes
and dust to dust" — with the beautiful burial service of our
Clmrch.
Again I have to thank my people, and many friends within
the limits of the Mission, for very many kindnesses to me, and
for valuable gifts that have proved helpful in the household ;
and these have just been added to by an offering from one
parishioner of money sutficient for my journey to the approach-
ing meeting of your Society,
The annual contributions to the funds of the »Society cannot
be sent until in August.

KICHMOND— REV. F. W. VROOM.
Though Richmond has suffered severely from emigration
during the past year, yet on the whole I think wp are in a
better state as regards Church matters than we were at this
time last year. Something has been done towards improving
our Churches, both in the way of ornamentation and necessary

repairs. The Women's Sewing Circle is still doing good work,
and such has been its success that we hope soon to be able to
add a tower and bell to our Parish Church.
In January a monthly Parish magazine was started for the
Missions of Woodstock and Richmond, and it affords a useful
means of communication between Priest and people.
On June 16th the Bishop Coadjutor visited the Parish and
addressed the parishioners on the work and needs of the D.C.S.,
and on the 17th he administered confirmation to thirteen
candidates at St. John's Church. Another class is being pre-
pared for confirmation in August.
I will report nothing regarding subscriptions for the coming
year until the money has been received.
ROTHESAY— RP:V. W. HANCOCK.
Mr. R. R. Clinch reports contributions to the amount of $58,
RICHIBUCTO— REV. F. H. ALMON.
Since my last report we have been favored with two visits
from the Bishop Coadjutor. In September a class of thirteen
was confirmed ; the Church at Kingston was consecrated; and
in Buctouche Church the Bishop preached, and urged on the
Church people self-reliance and earnest efforts to do all in their
power to contribute to the support of the Ministry.
In his last visit, in May, the new work of the D. C. S. in
missions newly opened or recently revived, was brought before
large and attentive congregations in Kingston atid Richibucto.
I believe that deeper interest in the important work of the
D. C. S., and more willing contributions, will result from these
kind and earnest appeals. In February the Rev. Mr. Troop
held a Mission in Richibucto. The attendance at the frequent
services and meetings was gratifying. I trust that God's bless-
ing accompanied the gospel of His grace, so earnestly and
affectionately preached. These Mission services were not only
attended and valued by many of our own congegation, but also
by some from all the congregations.
While the usual regular services have been held in the Parish
Church, and in Kingston, occasional ones — though less fre-
(piently than previously — have been, held in Kouchibouguac
60
and Buctouche. Although I can bat seldom be present at the
Sunday-school in Richibucto, I can state that it is etlieiently
conducted by its zealous superintendent and teachers. Almost
all our children who can attend, do so.
In Kingston our school is held in church, for an half an
hour after service in the afternoon. I am thus able to be
present to superintend and to teach. I believe this school,
though small, is doing good. The children are most orderly
and well behaved, and the teachers interested and regular in
their work.
Our Mite Society continues its useful work ; its zealous col-
lectors are persevering, and the habit of regular giving is in-
culcated. The collectors have this year agreed to collect, each
in her own district, for the Diocesan Church Society. The
monthly public meetings of our Church Temperance Society
have been held and fairly attended, and the perseverance in
total abstinence, of those Avho have been reclaimed from habits
of intemperance, is most encouraging.
The Children's Band of Hope, a branch of our Society, has
now enrolled more than one hundred members. Its meetings
are well attended by children and adults, and are most useful
iiud interesting. The superintendent is most successful and
persevering in her work. I believe that these Societies, for
whose success I am indebted to God's blessing and to kind and
earnest helpers, have not only benetitted those under my care
who have joined them, but also the community, and from the
good results which have followed temperance work in this
Parish as shewn by men reclaimed, and homes made happy
which once were so miserable. I wish that every Parisli and
Mission in the diocese had such societies working in it.
As our collections for D. C. S. are not completed, I can
only say that I believe we shall do much better than before.
I have read in the Parish Church the very earnest letter of the
Metropolitan, and urged com])liance with its suggestions ; and
shall read it in my other congregations as well as circulate it,
and am endeavoring through my efficient collectors and my-
self to make a personal appeal to every man and woman who
is able to give, and who as a member of the Church of Eng-
land ought to do so ; and I believe that with God's blessing on
hard and systematic work, there will be but few who will re-
fuse to become subscribers to the Society. As the financial
difficulty of the D. C. S. is only caused from the neglect of
proper efforts being made by the clergy and laity who love

and value the Church of Eugland, to induce all the members
of our Church to realize their individual duty and responsi-
bility to the great Head of the Church, our Divine Redeemer,
and to give freely for the support of His ministry, so must
our financial strength and rescue from embarrasment come,
when, generally, the members of our Church will each do
their own share of the work of supporting her ministrations,
and thuH increasing the resources of each Parish, the funds
of the D. C. S. will no longer require the aid of the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel.
SACKVILLE— REV. C. F. WIGGINS.
There has been nothing worthy of especial note in the
history of our Parish during the past year, save the fact of our
receiving a visit from each of our episcopal heads. The Bishoj)
Coadjutor came to us the 18th of May in the interests of the
D. C. S. He gave us a most interesting account of work done
in the new missions lately opened, and spoke earnestly of the
deep importance of fields yet uncared for, which shewed the
necessity of increased offerings. Our belbved Metropolitan
visited the Parish on the 12th of June. Ir the afternoon a
private confirmation was administered to a woman (formally
a dissenter) who has for some time been suffering from partial
paralysis. She was much impressed with the solemnity of tlie
service. A very interesting children's S. S. Festival Service
was held on the evening of his arrival. The Bishop's address
to the children was beautiful in its simplicity and was full of
fatherly instruction. On Saturday morning, before the hour
of confirmation, the Bishop, accompanied by the Rev. V. E.
Harriei, and the Rector and a few of the congregation, pro-
(^eeded to the cemetery for the purpose of consecrating certain
lots belonging to membel^ of the church. These lots were
formally set apart according to the duly authorized form.
The confirmation was held at the Parish Church on the morn-
ing of the 13th. After the baptism of four adults the apos-
tolic rite was administered to ten candidates, which was
followed by a celebration of the holy communion. The Bishop
seemed much pleased with the improvements made in the
interior and exterior of the church. The floral decorations
for the confirmation service were much admired, especially
the large altar cross. There was a wish expressed by many of
71
the cougregation to have the "grounds surrounding the church
set apart as "God's acre," as thev are now enclosed by a neat-
and substantial fence, but it was thought bettor to postpone the
consecration till the grounds were put in more perfect order.
Rev. J. R. Campbell, rural dean, and Rev. V. E. Harris, N'icar
of Amherst, kindly assitJted in the services of the day. Our
dear Bishop's visit gave us exceeding comfort, and we parted
from him with extreme reluctance, fearing most of all tliat we
•'might see his face no more." Our collections for the
ijeneral purposes of the Society are not yet fully complete*. l>ut
they will be about the same as last year.

ST. DAVID— HEV. .J. W. MILLIDGE.
I have nothing very interesting to report to the Society this
year. The usual services, both Sunday and week day, with
funerals and visiting, have occupied my time very fully ; but
in consequence of the great extent of my Mission, it is to be
feared that the results are not commensurate with the labor
expended. An afternoon or evening service can have but little
effect in strengthening the feeling of affection for the Church,,
or indeed do much towards building up the Christian char-
acter in the attendants. Yet this small portion of my time on
Sunday is all I can give to three interesting stations ; and still
the cry for services and ministrations is heard. A few weeks
ligo I was earnestly requested by a former resident of St. David
to visit the new settlement of "Beaconsfield," situate in a
remote part of the Parish of St. James. I went there at the
earliest opportunity, and was much pleased with my visit.
Most of the people live in log houses and in a very primitive
manner, but all appear anxious for the services of our holy
Church. I ofhciated one Fridav jifternoon in their school-

house and l)aptized two children ; their fatlier had emigrutcil
from England some si.v yea/s ago and had married hero.
Offers to baptize the children had been made by dissenting
ministers, but declined ; the it^ther saying : ** No one but a
clergyman shall baptize my children, and I am certain the
right man will come along some day." He was delighted with
the service, and said : ''This reminds me of old times." I
promised to return in about a month and give them another
week-day service, and as soon as the road to their settlement,
which is in course of construction, is completed, I hope to give
them Sunday services occasionally.
The Deanery of St. Andrews met at St. Patrick's Chr.rch
on Tuesday, in Whitsun week, when the holy communion wa.s
celebrated and a sermon preacned by Rev. II. 11. Neales. The
clergy then repaired to Oak Bay, St. David, and in the evening
were present at a crowded public meeting in Oak Bay Koad
school-house. After stirring addresses by the clergy, it was-
unanimously resolved to build a new church in the vicinity.
This church when completed will have, it is hoped, considoi-
able influence for good ; the site chosen being in the midst of
a number of communicants' homes.
His Lordship, the Coadjutor Bishop, visited us last August,
and at St. Patrick and St. Thomas churches confirmed twenty-
five young persons, some of whom came long dista:iccs lo
receive ** the laying on of hands." On inspecting my register I
find quite an increase in the number of baptisms for the year
ending Slst December, 1884, they being nearly double those
of the previous year ; exactly the same number of marriages ;
and more than double the number of burials. One peculiarity
about the burials was the large proportion of very aged peoi)le
laid to their rest. I give the names and ages of some of them:
Daniel Maxwell, aged (13, died 21st August ; his wife Lydia.
aged 88, died 11th October, 1884. They had lived togetiier
in holy matrimony 68 years, and received the blessed sacra-
ment together a few weeks before their death. The next upon
the register is William Hill, aged 87 years 10 months ; Mrs.
Blakely, 79 years ; Mrs. Claxton, 72 years ; Mrs. Wattern,
85 years ; Mrs. Julia McFarlane, 98 years ; and the centen-
arian, David McKee, 100 years.
I cannot say just now wliat the contributions to the general
fund will be this year, as the people have not yet been fully
canvassed. I trust, however, that they will equal, if not
exceed, last year.

-;T. GEORGE AND PEXNFIELD — REV. R. E. SMITH
Reports that the contributions will amount to about JJilOO.
If one may judge from the attendance at public worsliip,
the Church in tliese Parishes nourishes. We were favored in
August last by a visit from the Coadjutor Bishop, whon he
confirmed forty-two pers :>ns of ages varying from 60 years to
13. The Bishop's visit and addresses will be long remembered.
I will have a class ready for confirmation in August. Of forty
persons, baptized since my last report, ten are adults. Since
tiic beginning of year 1885, ninety-six different persons have
communicated, and as many as thirty-six at one time in
Christ's Church, Pennfield. The free-pew system works well
in St. George, if one may judge from the mcreased attend-
ance, and the fact of having a balance on hand on Eabter
Monday.
We hope and patiently wait for the time when these
Parishes, like manv others in the diocese, will overcome their
early education in the matter of giving, and support the
Cluirch in proportion to the means with which xVlmighty God
has blessed them. This seems to be a lesson hard to learn,
and some persons are to be found who expect the Church's
services, from baptism to burial, without contributing to her
su})port. Our Sunday-schools are doing good work.
With regard to the ** times," the prospect, I think, in St.
George is improving, owing to the steady development of the
red granite industry, which is fast taking the place of the
lumber trade, which is reduced to very small proportions.
Altogether we are hopeful for the success of the Church in
these Parishes.

The Missionary at St. Marys speaks of the inconvenient
arising from the continual changes which are going on among
his hearers ; the coming and going of the people connected
with the railroad and other works ; yet he says his congre-
gations continue their usual average, notwithstanding such
fluctuations.
The greatest evil arising from this state of things is the
impossibility of raising the D. C. S. assessment in time for
the quarter's salary. Of course when people first come into
the Pirish it would be too much like looking after the tleece
to ask their subscription at once ; and then, sometimes before
two or three quarters puss by, these persons are away and
others take their place.
The Missionary has continued his fortnightly services in the
Stone Church, Douglas, except on a few occasions when duty
called him elsewhei*e, for which the people of that district
have contributed 1^4.85 towards making up the sum required
by the Society.
The Right Kev., the Bishop Coadjutor, visited the Parish;
held a confirmation, and gave us some very good advice.
Contributions amount to $50.iJ6.

ted the Parish,
I have once again the duty and pleasure of sending to you>.
for the information of the General Committee of the D. C. S.,
i rt'port of the ministrations and circumstances of the Church
:u this Mission ; guch report embracing the year now closing.
I suppose I shall not be wrong in saying that like some
ntbor missions — in time past at least — I cannot congratulate
lny*•'^ the Mission, or the D. C. S., on an unmixed, happy
and }>rosperou8 condition ; certainly not so temporally, and it
may be not even spiritually. But as regards the latter con-
dition, I think I shall be able to report certain facts from
which one might find room for that ** charity which hopeth
all things."
Tlie temporal circumstances of this Mission have been i>as8-
ing from one degree of depression to a greater degree ever
since I came to it. The oldest inhabitant solemnly affirms
that .such widespread and general depression, bringing almost
utter destitution to some families, has never before been ex-
perienced here. Whereas this place was known and prospered
;is a ship-building place, to-day there are only two vessels,
small ones too, on the stocks ; one is nearly ready for launch-
iiitj, Hud no work has been done on the other since last fall.
The wonder is that many families have food and clothing.
Yet notwithstanding the "hard times, " the Church people
iu this Mission have been trying bravely to raise the assess-
ment for this year, and so far have done quite as well as could
have been expected. We also had a fancy sale last July to
increase the funds for the contemplated new church, and I
believe the proceeds are considered to have been very large.
The actual receipts were S185, with $60 expenses ; thus leaving
a halance of $125 for the said fund.
This time last year this Mission found itself unable to meet
the last quarterly payment of the assessment for the year, and
on this account when the schedule of grants for the ensuing
year were being passed by the General Committee, I asked to
have the assessment for this mission referred to the B. H. M. ,
which was kindly assented to. I appeared before the Board
of Missions, and upon stating the reasons for some consider-
iition being extended to this Mission, it was decided to send a
deputation here to confer with the parishioners. The depu-
tation, consisting of the Rev. Canon Medley and H. W. Frith, .
Ksq., visited the Mission on l?th July lastji and were met by.

As the result of the meetin;^;, tlic deputation recomnipniL.i

this WHS acceednijT me tlie favor of receiving j^OO les.-< for tiife|
year, 1 was thankful as it seemed to take qnite a load ort tiif
Mission.
As regards the ministrations and services of the Chinch,
there is room to hope that in some way they have been thank-
fully received and carried with them a blessing. I opened ;,
new station hist August at the mills of the Quaco Wood Munu]
facturing Company, about six miles from this on the liino;
the 8t. Martin's and Upham Railway. This new venture wu«
only made possible through the kindness and personal interes:
of A. S. Benn, Esq., the agent of Guy, Bevan & Co. Mi,
Benn was not only most ready and willing to make all possible
arrangements for the holding of services at their factory, hu:
even anxious to have such privileges offered to or provided tli'
people, lie also kindly promised that a certain amount sliouli
be contributed through the office to help in raising the assess-
ment in the Parish, while all the contributions of the propK
should be added to it. At first it was thought it would h'
possible to hold services in the upper part of their store, whici:
had formerly been used for similar purposes : but thiouirh
other circumstances this has not yet been possible, and by tlu
kindness of the families who have been keeping the boardini:-
house I have been holding services in their large dining-room,
I could only promise to have service there on the afternoon;
of the third Sunday in each month, which I have done ii<
regularly as the weather and roads would permit.
I find by a reference to several back reports of the I). C. i"^.
that the number of Sunday services in this Mission during the
last year, ending December 31st, 1884, was greater than any
previous year. Last year 1 held 129 Sunday services, while
the next highest number was in the year 1880-1. Again, !
find that with those increased services the average attendance
at two of the places — at the Parish Church and at one of the
stations — has also increased. Our Sunday-school has not
increased since last year, but at least it has not decreased.
I have now to report three red-letter events of the past year.
The first is a visit from the Coadjutor Bishop, who came to u^
on Sunday, 12th October last. That morning his Lordshi}i
left St. John with the Rector of Simonds, and after service
77;
5 of the I). C. 8.
;iuil contirmation at Black River came up to Tynemouth Creek,.
1 station of thi3 mission, wliere at 3.30 o'clock we had service,
iiiui the Bishop preached. His Lordship then transferred him-
idli to my reckless horsemansliip and I drove him to Qiiaco.
Xhat evening at our late service I had the pleasure and duty
it" presenting twelve candidates who received the 'Maying on
piluinds." On the next evening we had service at 7 i*. m.,
'.vhen his Lordship preached a sermon in aid of the funds of
the diocese, especially home mission fund :'nd the fund for
:lie aged and incapacitated clergy. The collection amounting
;(,i«8.77 was given to the A. and T. C. Fund. Tiiat evening
;ifter service the ladies of the congregation, with other mem-
bers and friends, tendered the Bishop a sort of reception or
welcome in the character of a sociable held at the temperance
hull. On the next day we had our Harvest Home Services.
At 10.30 we had celebration with a sermon from the Bishop ;-
:ind in the evening, service with another sermon from his
Lordship. The next morning the liishop left for the city of
St. John. '
The next event to be noticed is the meeting of the Deanery
of 8t. John, which was held here on the ITth last September.
I notice this because I believe it is only the second time such
an event has taken place in this mission. Being thus such an.
unusual circumstance, I conceived the idea of holding a series
of missionary services, with addresses on the growth of the
Church of England during the last half century, both in Eng-
land and in the Colonies. But I have to regret. that never was
anything more difficult or more nearly impossible than to get
tiie promise of even three addresses from as many clergy of
the Deanery of St. John. When at length the day of meeting
arrived, there were only three clergy of the Deanery present,
excepting myself. One other Brother came on the evening
before on pui'pose to favor us with the address he had kindly
promised to deliver, but pressing duty at home required him
to leave us next morning before the session of the Deanery.
Our number, however, was increased by the presence of the
Rev. S. Jones Hanford, who also kindlv delivered one of the
addresses.
The other event was the residence amongst us for four weeks
of the Rev. Canon Brigstocke with his family, who at my
suggestion, if not invitation, came to this place to spend his
summer vacation, and I think as a place for such recreation he
found it all he desired. Thus for four Sundays I had the

assistance of a Brother, an assistance which does not often fall
to the lot of one in such an out-of-the-way place. On throe
Sundays Canon Brigstocke preached once, and on the fou:th
Sunday three times. We also had another great advantage iu
having Canon Brigstocke spending a little while up here. At
my j-equest the Canon brought up the magic lanterns of hK>
Sunday-school and gave an exhibition of views on the Hoh
Land. This was not only a treat but we made it a means ot
supplying strength to our general church funds. With thest
receipts we greatly assisted in providing the church with a new
stove.
The collectors are still soliciting contributions for the
General Purposes Fund of the Society, and when their lists art
completed will hand them in to Mr. E. Vernon Rourke, the
Secretary-Treasurer of the local committee, by Thorn they will
be sent to the D. C. S. Treasurer.
I much fear, however, that the amount win not be as much
as last year. Several circumstances seem to justify this fear.
the chief of which must be the changed and changing con-
dition of many families here — (^hanging for the worse with
the general business depression of this place. Of course, to
write this is very sad, especially in view of the Bishop's latt
Pastoral telling us that the S. P. O. will be compelled to make
a reduction of $1,700 in their next annual grant to this
Diocese ; but I fear the result will only prove my expectatiun
too true.
The special collections during the past j^ear are : Semi-annual
collections, $10.01 ; Aged and Incapacitated Clergy Fund,
$8.77 ; Clergy Widows' and Orphans' Fund, $2.23 ; S. P. G.
Fund, 12.57 ; making a total of $23.58.
I have one other circumstance to note, and that is that
after very serious consideration I have come to the conclusion
that a change of missionaries might have a happy effect in
this Mission, and with this conviction I have asked the Bishop
to accept my resignation, which his Lordship has been pleased
to do, the resignation to take effect on and after the iltli July
next. My interest in this Mission, whore :nany hopeful ^igns
are not wanting, prompts the hope that another missi-njiry
will soon be found who will be faithful and true to God and
man. '

STANLEY— REV. II. T. I>ARLEE.
My leport this year will be brief. The past year has beeu
characterized by the scanty circulation of money. The ])eople
have had about all they could do to keep from running bohiiu]
hand. My own health these few months back has not been
good, esi)ecially since my ordination in March. This has
hindered me from prosecuting my work as I would have
wished. It is on this account that I am unable to send along
with this report the amount of subscriptions for this year to
the D. C. S. Last year's list was the largest ever sent in frcm
this Parish, and I hope to be able to still further increase it
this year. The increase is in a great measure due to the
adoption of the envelope system. Great inprovements v»'i]l he
made this summer to the grounds around the Church. This
s})ring there have been a number of trees set out, and tlie
material is on hand wherewith to paint the Parish Church and
the Rectory. Tiie Sunday-school has increased wonderfulh
this summer; great interest is manifested both by teachers uuii
scholars. We have just received a new library. Since January
the services at the out-stations, owing to my ill health and the
state of the roads, have not been as regular as they had boon
previously.
The interest in church matters has been well sustained.
The amount of collections for this quarter in St. ThoiuuH
Church alone, has been more than that for the whole Parish
for corresponding quarter last year. The services have been
well attended in all places, and in a few years we may hope to
see the outlying stations having suitable buildings erected to
the glory of God, in which the people can worship after the
manner of their forefathers.
SIMONDS— REV. Gr,ORGE SCHOFIELD.
Last September wc repaired the church at Black River.
The roof was taired, a new stoop was laid down at the church
door, and three coats of paint put on the outside of the
church. During the winter the inside of the church was re-
j)aired, painted and beautilied ; so that now it is in good con-
dition both externally and internally. The members of the
church gave a great deal of })er8onal service, so that the entire
cost did not exceed lir)0. With the generous help of a few
81
friends outside the Parish this has been paid, leaving no debt,
hi October last we had a welcome visit from the Bishop
Coadjutor, for the purpose of confirmation. The prevalence
of scarlet rash and of diphtheria prevented the attendance of
some candidates, and also of many members of the congre-
gation, who were afraid of the contagion. Two young people
died of diphtheria.
At Ooldbrook a reading desk has been provided for our use
by the kindness of G. Herbert Lee, Esq., to whom, as lay
reader, we are deeply indebted for many valuable services most
kindly rendered.
During the year I have officiated at twenty baptisms, three
marriages, and nine funerals.
I have a fortnightly Sunday service at Loch Lomond, Black
River, Garnett's, Coldbrook, and the nearer Golden Grove ;.
and a monthly service at Drury's Cove and the further Golden
Grove.
We have sustained a great loss in the death of Mr. William
Daley, for many years senior Warden, who died on New Year's
day, and whose funeral was attended by the entire population
of the neighborhood. He was universally esteemed as an ex-
emplary Christian and a good neighbor, and his memory is
blessed- His youngest son, Mr. James K. Daley, has been.
elected a Church Warden in his father's stead.
I cherish the hope that my labors have not been in vain.
We are at .'inity among ourselves ; often discouraged indeed
by the reu.^val of many of our young people, who go to seek
more remi^nerative employment elsewhere, but who, I hope,
carry with them the holy lessons they learnied in their early
day?. I humbly pray the Great Head of the Church to pros-
per aii my labors in li.is cause.
SPRINGFIELD— REV. J. H. TALBOT.
The work in this Parish since last July has gone on quietly,
with few events of exceptional interest.
The Church of St. Simon and St. Jud*^, the consecration of
which, by his Lordship the Bishop Coadjutor, was mentioned
[in my last report, has been an instrument for good, in largely
increasing the nunil)er of communicants, and improving the
general cnurch tonn in that part of the Parish.

The debt of which I spoke last 3'ear has been reduced to
$100, and by the time that this report is in circulation I have
good reason to hope that also will be paid. The Sunday-school
has been kept open all winter under the superintendence of
Mr. T. T. H. Scovil, with fair attendance, and I believe pood
result. A Sunday-school library has been formed, and there
is prospect that it will be enlarged.
At the Parish Church the Sunday-school has also been kept
open all winter, Mr. J. H. Marven being supei'intendent.
The congregations are slightly smaller than they were before
the new church was built, but the general increase of church-
goers far more than counterbalapces the slight falling off.
For the little church at Norton Station the year has been
comparatively uneventful ; regular services, with a regular
congregation and a slight increase in the number of comniuin
cants, is all that I can say about it, save that of the seven
adults who have entered the Church in my Mission, since Just
July, three were baptized at St. Luke's Church at Norton
Station.
I have held services at the three Churches every Sunday,
except one, when snow-drifts prevented my reaching Norton
Station. And from Adven' to Easter I also held a service at
each Church during the week. Choir practice and Sunday-
school Teachers' Class occupied two other evenings, leav-
ing Saturday free. During the latter part of the winter ill
health interfered with some of these week-day appointments.
The addition to the rectory, mentioned in my last re])ort,
has been since completed, and has proved a great comfort ;
the Parish Room is very useful for classes, etc., and I advise
all Rectors and lay delegates to add a room for such piirpose8
(if they have not one already) to their respective rectories.
On .laLuary 28th his Lordship the Bishop Coadjutor visited
the Parish, and preached at the annual meeting of the King-
ston Deanery Choral Union. There were 115 of the menibers
present, and eleven clergy, in spite of the worst snow storm of
the winter. Ilis Lordship came again on Whit-sundtiy and
preached at all three Churches. And on Monday, June ilif
9th, the Most Rev. the Metropolitan came amongst us, accom-
panied by Mrs. Medley. There was a confirmation at the
Parish Church on the following day, and twelve candidates
were presented.

SUSSEX— REV. CANON MEDLEY.
Since the Missions of Waterford and Johnston have been set
otf as separate Missions the work of this Mission has been
niiioh simplified, although your Missionary catinot say that
the amount of work has been at all reduced. Three services
are held every Sunday, and a fourth is added once in every
month. A week-day service is held at Studholm, at which
the attendance is remarkably good and steady. At Sussex the
festivals of the Church are observed by a celebration of the
holy communion and also even-song. Our communicants'
roll has been much lessened by the removal of twenty-eight of
our most steadfast members, who have gone principally to the
United States or to the North-west.
At vStudhoIm we have to lament the death of our organist,
and the removal of our Sunday-school superintendent — Mr.
W. T. Peters, who for some fifteen or sixteen years has been
unremitting in his labors. We are thankful to say the place
of the lattjr gentleman has been filled by his son, who gives
great promise of usefulness.
At Sussex our Sunday-school i.'-" increasing, and the staff of
teachers has been very largely helped by the examinations of
thf past two years, under the direction of the Clergy of the
Deanery of Kingston, who form the governing body of our
Sunday-school Union. On Sunday, June 14th, an event of
more than usual interest occurred, when Mrs. Alexander
Robertson, the wife of our esteemed station master, was re-
ceived into the Church by holy baptism, together with her
family of seven children. The baptism took place at 8 o'clock
in the morning, and was witnessed by a most orderly congre-
;i;ation. To God be the praise for this blessed fruit ! !
We are expecting a visit from the Bishop at the end of July,
for cof firmation, when it is hoped a class of fifty candidates
will be presented to his Lordship. This addition to our
fitiinigth will go to make up for the removal of so many com-
a)unicant«, as stated above.

UPHAM— REV. S. JONES HANFORD.
I have nothing of special moment to report from this
Mission at present. I have to be thankful for being spared
another year to labor in the vineyard, and to sow the seed in
humble hope of its bearing fruit in due season. I have not
yet got through with collecting the subscriptions and, under
present circumstances, my only hope of keeping up to some-
thing near our usual contributions is in persistent solicitations
and diligently gathering up of small sums throughout the
entire Mission. I shall hope to have all forwarded to the
Treasurer in good time for the Report.
VICTORIA— REV. D. B. PARNTHER
Reports contributions to the amount of $15.
WATERFORD— REV. J. R. DeW. COWIE.
When I mentioned to a brother Priest a little over a year
ago that I hoped for a grant of $500 for this Mission, he said:
''You will never get it, for it is not worth it." To this I
simply answered, '* You shall see." We did get the grant,
thanks to the Society, and let us see whether Waterford was
worth it or not. When the grant was made some work had
been done by way of preparation ; services had been kept up
at the Parish Church and New Lin'^ Road ; there had been
forty-four confirmed ; the number of communicants had been
increased from twelve to thirty-six , one Sunday-school had
been opened, and the people had been well visited so that they
liiight know their Missionary and he them. Now what is the

The new year just beginning promises still further advance-
ment. The Parish Cliurch is now undergoing repair, and
§150 will be spent upon it, half of which amount has been
paid in already. The people on the New Line Road have
agreed to raise $300 towards a new Church, and a fund has
been started for the erection of a rectory. Confirmation
classes are now being held in different parts of the Mission,
and there are likely to be twenty-five candidates presented
this year.
The faithful at Sussex Corner are grateful to the Society for
the $100 given towards the expense of furnishing their Mission
Room, over a wheelwright's shop, where they meet once every
Lord's day for service. The furniture has been insured for
$150, so that in case of fire the Society will not be a loser.
The people have contributed about $37.50 towards the current
expenses, and have subscribed $8 to D. C. S. The average
congregation is now thirty-five, twelve of whom are regular
communicants. Eight candidates are being prepared for con-
firmation, and there are twenty-five Sunday-school scholars in
attendance.
WELDFORD— REV. HENRY HOLLOWAY.
The present year has been one of great interest for this
Mission. One week after the last meeting of the Diocesan
Church Society the Church of St. Paul, which had been re-
J)uilt during the vacancy of the Pariah with funds raised by
*he exertions of my predecessor, the Rev. W. B. Armstrong,
was consecrated by the Metropolitan, together with a piece of
ground to enlarge the old churchyard. The services in the
summer were very well attended, the Church being often in-
conveniently crowded. In the winter the attendance was not
so good, as very few of the people live less than three miles
from the Church. As my house is thirteen miles away I found
it impossible on several occasions last winter to get to St.
Paul's. There are a good number of very aged and infirm
Church people scattered over a wide area, whom I have been
able to visit at intervals, and to give them the blessed sacra-
ment " to their great and endless comfort."

With regard to the work in Harcourt Parish. I began by
having Sunday services in the Public Hall at Weldford
Station, but whether tliey were any joy to the people I cannot
say ; certainly I found no pleas'ure or profit in them. Tliere
was no worship or reverence on the part of the people, jind
• there could bo none, as the seats would not allow of kneeling,
and there was no sign or symbol of religion, not to say Chris-
tianity in the place. I could not therefore administer the
holy sacrament in such a building ; so, with the permission of
the Metropolitan, I fitted up one of the rooms in my house as
an Oratory, where I celebrated the holy communion from time
to time, and baptized children Jind adults. We had also even-
song every second Sunday, and there were so many people
came to this service that sitting room could not be obtained
in the house for them. So it became necessary to build the
nave of a Church, which was opened by the Bishop Coadjutor
on November 15th. The results have been beyond my ex-
pectations ; the congregations have been good, and the be-
havior of the people has been most reverent and orderly. We
have been much cheered and strengthened by the visit of the
Metropolitan, and by two of the Bishop Coadjutor, during the
year. The visible results of the work during the twelve
months may be thus summed up: One Church consecrated;
one opened with the Bishop's license ; sixteen persons con-
firmed ; sixty-three baptized, including five aduit'^ ; seven
marriages; eight burials. We have sent up $7.8:4 for the
Incapacitated Clergy Fund, and |5.12 for S. P. G. At the
time of writing this report our accounts for the contributions
to the 1). C. S. have not been made up, but I fear the amount
will be very small, from causes which I cannot now enter
upon. I
WESTFIELD— REV. A. V. WIGGINS.
During the past year the exterior of St. Peter's and St.
James' Churches have been repainted, which adds greatly to
their appearance. New steps have also been built at the |
entrance of St. Peter's Church. We are now engaged in bring-
ing water to the rfK3tory from a distant spring. The Sewing I
and Knitting Society is doing good work; the ladies intend
having a sale in July. I
The severe storms of the past winter, and the dangerous
state of the crossing on the river, greatly interfered with thf
87
work of the Parish, especiiilly in the large section on the
eastern side of the river. Our Sunday-schools have suffered
from the great difficulty in securing suitable teachers. We
are looking forward to and preparing for an early visit from
tlie Bishop Coadjutor, for the purpose of holding confirmation.
I am greatly indebted to the B. H. M. for their kind and
generous aid, by which I was able to secure the assistance of
the Rev. A. H. Weeks; and I ^.i thankful to be able to re-
port that my health is much improved. On account of the
great scarceness of money the collection for the D. C. S. will
not be made until July. We hope to send as much as last
year ($57).
WICKLOW— REV. J. E. FLEWELLING.

Reports contributions to the amount of $49.
I have nothing of general interest to report. Services have
been regularly held and well attended. Some seem to fully
appreciate the services of our loved Church, and consequently
give quite liberally towards the Missionary's stipend and
Church work. Others are indifferent, and it seems difficult
to get them to understand why they should work for Christ's
Church. The spiritual life has been deepened in some minds.
I have been working for ten years, doing as well as it was
possible for me, and I can report progress materially and
spiritually. There is much to be done in this Mission, and I
trust that the people will realize the necessity of contributing
more towards the support of their clergyman, and thereby
relieving the D. C. S. It is true that " unwillingness to give
is a sure evidence of a low spiritual life," still I do not think
that it is in the power of the clergyman to remedy that. There
needs to be a Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Man
may be used as the instrument in God's hands for awakening
people. God hasten the time when my people may give as
they have received.

GRAND MANAN— liKV. W. S. COVERT.
(Received too late for insertion in proper place.)
The new church in the North Head district of Grand Manun
is almost completed, and we look forward to its consecration
early in the ensuing September. Eight persons were con-
firmed in August last (seven of whom were residents of the
Parish) by the Right Rev. the Bishop Coadjutor. Six infants
and six adults were baptized during the year. In the Sunday-
schools there have been six teachers and about twenty-five
scholars.
The financial outlook has anything but a favorable appear-
ance at present ; in truth it may be said the aspect is exceed-
ingly unfavorable, and I am afraid we shall fail to meet the
requirements of the D. C. S.
NORTON— REV. E. A. WARNEFORD.

The greatest event that has happened in this Parish during
the past year has been the re-opening of our Parish Church.
which [ mentioned in my last report as undergoing repairs ;
this took place on the 6tli May, and was attended with great
success in every respect ; the service was a most hearty one,
and besides many of the Clergy of the Deanery attending, we
had the gratification of the presence of our much beloved
Metropolitan, which greatly brightened matters, and served
not a little to cheer and oomfort the hearts of the faithful.
The cost of repairs amounted to something over ^1,800, ex-
clusive of gifts, and which sum — with the exception of a kind
donation from his Lordship the Bishop Coadjutor, and the

subscribed by the parishioners, and chiefly by those who uitend
this Church, for Lower Norton has its Chapel of Ease, and,
naturally, perhaps, the interest is confined to it by those living
in that part, so that the work lay among a very few. It is not
at all times well to mention names, but in this particular in-
stance an exception should be made, and, in fact, I should
feel it to be an act of ingratitude were I to omit the name of
my warden, Mr. I. B. S. Raymond, fo^ had it not been for
is great generosity and indefati-^ibi*^ ^eal, in conjunction
u. h the members of his family, '-he nork could not have been

ork of love, Avhich my dr^ar friend and parishioner, Mrs. I.
B. S. Raymond had so much at heart, that she was called to
her rest, greatly to the sorrow of the Church, but of endless
joy to herself. Mr. Raymond, with a most unselfish spirit,
has taken care that all outside debts should be paid, and what
remained unpaid confined to himself.
It is with feelings of great thankfulness that I acknowledge
the following gifts : A stained-glass window for the church
from the Metropolitan ; A sum of money from the Bishop
Coadjutor, as mentioned above ; $100 from a valued member
of the church for seats ; linen for communion vessels, and
Fall for lectern, from Mrs. Medley.
Last September we enjoyed a visit from the Bishop Coad-
jutor who held the Holy Rite of Confirmation at the Chapel
of Ease, when twenty-four were presented, who all, with a
very large number of the congregation, partook of the holy
communion — in all 104.
Last year I reported two Sunday-schools as being at work ;
this year there is only one, as the children who reside near
the village of Hampton attend the school there ; near the
church there are only two small children. The school at the
Parish Church, under the care of Mr. Geo. Raymond and
three other teachers, is, I am happy to say, progressing stead-
ily, with I hope good results. During the year the services
have been regularly held, and the attendance fair. I am sorry
to report the deaths of four of my parishioners, one I have
already m ntioned, the wife of one of the wardens, and Mrs.
Charles Dixon the wife of the other, a near neighbor, whose
death we greatly deplore, and who also was ever forward to
promote works of love and ch&rity, and for many years a con-
stant member of the choir.

CONCLUSION.
The foregoing reports, together with statistical returns for
the past year, claim the most attentive consideration. It
must be remembered that very much is done in behalf of those
"for whom Christ died" which is not mentioned in any
report, and is only to be found recorded in the Book of Life.
Still, from the missionary and other reports, the Society may
learn something of the nature of the work it has undertaken
and its progress, also what its financial condition is — or is
likely to become — and above all, the crying wants of many
'* scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd.
It will be observed that, in many instances, the report of
the contributions is so incomplete that an exact statement of
the whole amount cannot at present be given. From some of
the Parishes there is a marked increase, and from but few a
falling off is reported. At the end of Part II. an account will
be given of the contributions to the different objects of the
Society, which, it is hoped, will show a considerable increase
compared with those of the past year.
A member of the Church has contributed, through the
Metropolitan, $3,400 to the Society. The money consists of
debentures at 6 per cent, interest, realizing t204 annually.
The interest is to be applied in equal proportions between tlio
Missions of the Society and the Incapacitated Clergy Fund.*
The call upon the Church in this Diocese for aid to
Domestic Missions has been responded to by a larger amount
of offerings than ever before. These offerings have doubtless
been accompanied by earnest prayer and deep sympathy in the
trying circumstances by which many of our brethren in the
Northwest have lately been surrounded. Contributions have
also been given in many Churches in aid of Missions in foreign
lands. To the funds of the Society nothing is lost by these
contributions. Rather thereby an increase of blessing may be
looked for — the greatest and best of all blessings— the touch-
ing of hearts from above, thereby inclining many to seek for
the lost among ourselves, thereby readily and gratefully
supplying the means of bringing these wanderers to the fold,
whom the Lord and Master would have sought for and saved.
* The Secretary inuBt thankfully received thiH infoimation from the MuHt
Reverend the Metn)politan after the report was read at the late meeting of
the Oeneral Committee.

97
of the Society
Whereas^ The S. P. C. K. is constantly receiving applications
for aid towards new Churches in the Diocese and invariably
responds to such appeals when endorsed by the Lord Bishop,
and,
Whereasi, Ten parsonages have received a grant of $100 each
through the Board of Home Missions ; therefore
Resolved, For the protection of Church properties, that in
the future no grant will be made to any Mission not insuring
such properties against fire to the satisfaction of the Board of
Home Missions ; and further
Resolvedy That the Board of Home Missions be authorized
to require in the yearly returns provided for in Sec. 5 of the
Rules and Regulations of the General Committee, a return of
the amount of insurance on the Church or Churches, and
parsonage and Sunday-school building, if any, in the Mission;
also
Resolved, That the Home Mission Board be requested ta
undertake the carrying out of these resolutions.
On motion of the Treasurer it was resolved that the balance-
of S7.45, reported as due from the Mission of Bright, on con-
tributions reported in 1883, be written ofE; the matter having
been explained by the Missionary in charge.
The Treasurer reported that all the balances reported
by him as due at the last meeting of the Executive Committee,
had been settled and paid.
On motion, the Committee adjourned till the evening at
8.30 o'clock.
The Committee met at 8.30 p. m.
The Secretary called the roll of the Clergy and lay delegates
and of the ex-officio members.
Mr. O. A. Schofield, from the Board of Home Missions,
submitted the missionary schedule reported by the Board.
On motion of Mr. Schofield, seconded by the Treasurer, the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, The S. P. G. has informed the Lord Bishop that
they will be compelled to reduce the grant to this Diocese
11,700 for the year 1880, and
)VhereaSf This Committee believes that it would be
m
•,'i'.V
7» ■ --
undesirable to call upon the aided Missions to make up the
sum at once; therefore
Resolved^ That the plan for the gradual reduction of grants
which was agreed to last year be adhered to; and further
' Resolvedj That whatever amount may be required during
the next three years be advanced out of the balance in hand,
upon the undertaking that there shall be a yearly reduction of
$450, at the least, in the grants made by the D. C. S. till sucli
advance is repaid.
The Committee proceeded to consider the Missionary Sche-
dule, when the following appropriations were made for the
missionary service of the current year, and the Treasurer was
authorized to pay the grants in quarterly payments, provided
that the rules and regulations of the Society are complied
with.

books, so that now all " books" and " tracts " on the Society's
catalogues of publications are supplied at the rate of twenty-

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS
For the Tear ending 30th June, 1885.
To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop, and the General Com-
mittee of the Diocesati Church Society :
The Board of Home Missions submit the following Report:
During the past year only one alteration has been made in
the Schedule adopted by the General Committee last July.
St. Martins. — The assessment has been reduced $40, the
grant being continued as before.
Special Grants. — The Board found it necessary to make
grants during the year to assist in the maintenance of services
in two Missions — Cambridge and Westfield — the Clergy in
charge being for a time incapacitated by serious illness.
These grants were to Cambridge $125 for three months, and
to Westfield $87 for six months, up to 1st April, 1885.
A grant was made at the rate of $200 a year, from the 1st
February last, to the Rector of Moncton, to assist in carrying
on the special Mission work lately established in that Parish.
This grant was made upon condition of a contribution of $100
a year from the people. The Rev. A. J. Reid, ordained
Deacon on Sunday, April 12th, is assisting Mr. Hoadley in
this work.
!|iV.: ■■;
/X ',
116
A grant of $100 was made to the Missionary of Waterford
in aid of special services in the Parish of S. Mark, Sussex.
This money was given to assist in fitting up the room in which
services are now held, paying the rent of the same, and tho
necessary expenses of light and fuel.
A grant of $100 was also made to assist the Rector of Shed lac
to procure the outfit necessary to enable him to carry on
services at Point DuCheno and Cocaigne. This grant was
made upon condition of a contribution of $200 from the people.
Under the authority granted by the General Committee last
July a grant of $10 was made to defray the expenses of a lay
reader who held services at McAdam during last summer.
Travelling Outfit.— The Board have authorized the
Treasurer to advance the following sums "for the purchase of
necessary travelling outfit," subject to the conditions adopted
by the General Committee :
. 1250 to Rev. James R. DeW. Cowie.
250 to Rev. A. E. G. Lowndes.
A. J. Cresswell.
C. P. Hanington.
250 to Rev.
250 to Rev.
250 to Rev. J. C. Titconfibe.
Divinity Scholarships' Fund. — $60 from the income of
this fund has been paid to Mr. Niels Hansen.
Travelling Expenses. — $57.20 has been paid out of the
S. P. G. grant towards the travelling expenses of Rev. A. J.
Reid who came from England in March last.
Deputation. — During the past year the Board have only
found it necessary to send one deputation, which was to the
Mission of St. Martins.
Statement for S, P. G.— The Board submit herewith a
copy of the statistical return furnished during the past year]ta
the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and in doing so
would direct special attention to the rule of the Society that
requires a yearly contribution from every Mission which
receives help from its funds. No less than eighteen suck
Missions failed to comply with this most reasonable regulation
last year.
Schedule for next year. — The Board, as directed by the
General Committee last July, submit herewith a revised sche-
dule of Assessments and Grants, which they recommend for
adoption for the ensuing year. The total of the assessments
is considerably more than last year, but this is principally due to
117
1 the income of
the change in the status of two Missions — Canning and Lancas-
ter— and the establishment of .the new Mission workatMoncton.
In the Report submitted by the hoard hist July there was
a recommendation that provision should be made for a gradual
reduction in the S. P. G. grant, and that $500 !?hould be taken
from the D. 0. S. grants each year and be carried to a reserve
fund to be used as the S. P. G. grant was withdrawn. At
that time it was hoped that the venerable Society Avould be
able to make such reductions slowly — perhups nol over £100
stg. a year. In accordance with the resolution on this subject
adopted by the General Committee, the Board prepared a
revised schedule, in which the grants were reduced about $500.
Just after this was completed, the Board were informed that
tiie S. P. G. would be compelled to reduce the grant for 1886
£;5oO stg.
As the year for which the present schedule provides will end
in July, 1880, it will be necessary to provide for $850 more
than last year ; and again, $850 in the year following. This
will no doubt require a great effort in eveiy Parish and Mission
in the Diocese. The aided Missions will have to make up a
greater part of the Misiionary's stipend, and the self-supporting
Missions will have to do their utmost to increase the voluntary
contributions. Although any reduction in the S. P. G. grant
this year was unexpected, and the large amount is a great
surprise, yet the Diocese has had many warnings, and should
be ready to do more toward self-support after the many years
of generous help from the venerable Society.
As the Board believe that it would be undesirable to call
upon the aided Missions to make up the whole of this $1,700
at once, they recommend the General Committee — 1st. To
carry out the plan for the gradual reduction of grants whieh
was agreed upon last year. 2nd. To advance out of the bal-
ance on hand whatever amount may be required during the
next three years, upon the understanding that there shall be a
yearly reduction of $450, at the least, in the grants from the
b. C. S. till such advance is repaid.
The estimate of income and expenditure for next year, the
schedule of grants recommended, and the returns, corres-
pondence and minutes of business trn,n8acted by the Board
during the past year, accompany this Report.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO INTEREST SUNDAY-

To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop and the Oeneral Com-
mittee of the Diocesan Church Society :
Your Committee beg to submit the following Report :
The number of Missionary Boxes is apparently the same as
last year, none having been returned, and no new ones having
been issued. But your Committee have reason to believe
that there are not nearly so many in the hands of children,
since the amount of returns has fallen to $489.
The issuing of leaflets does not seem to have been produc-
tive of as much good as might have been expected ; and your

REPOET OF GLEBE LAND COMMITTEE.
To His Lordship the President, and the Diocesan Church
Society of New Brunswick :
The Glebe Land Committee of the Diocesan Church Society
beg to report as follows :
That Tract No. Thirteen (13), situate in the Parish of
Saumarez, Gloucester County, has been surveyed and divided
up into nine lots and offered for sale at public auction. Six
of these lots have been sold realizing the sum of two hundred
and seventy dollars. Three lots were withdrawn at time of
sale, but we hope to be able to dispose of them privately at
prices equal to the price obtained for the ones which were
sold. The 14 Tract in the Parish of Saumarez, we found to
be of little value and occupied by squatters ; so we have caused
this lot to be sold for the sum of $28, the purchaser under-
taking to deal with the trespassers. This lot contains thirty-
eight acres and consists of marsh-land chiefly. The net
amount realized by the Society from the land sold as above
mentioned amounts to $250. Part of the purchase-money
($90.28) has been paid to the Treasurer of the Society. The
balance of the purchase-money is payable 1st October next.
The letter of Mr. S. G. Morse concerning land in Parish of
Hopewell, 27 Tract, has been under consideration. Having
been informed that parties were cutting timber off this tract,
a personal visit on two occasions was made to the locality, and
we found it necessary to take 'firm measures to establish the

Society's claims. We are unable to discover by what authority
there lands were surveyed and ( ffcrcd for sale Fome years apo,
and as there is a valuable ft one quariy on the proj~erty Ave
have authorized an action of ejectment to be commenred to
establish the title, and this action is now pending. We have
been informed of another tract of land in the Parish of Alma,
not mentioned in the Act, belonging to the Society, and the
matter is now bein^ investisfatcd. In reference to the land in
the Parish of Blissfield we find a personal visit by a member of
the Glebe Land Committee will have to be made to these
lands. The bill of Mr. D, L. Ilanington referred to this
Committee at the last meeting of the Society has been care-
fully investigated, and we recommend that the bill be paid
and that the winding up of matters in connection with this
land be left with Mr. Hanington and that he be instructed to
dispose of the lands as quickly as possible and remit to the
Society.
That we have c.used the title of the land purchased for a
parsonage at Hopewell, Albert County, to be searched and the
deed to be examined. The title appears to be clear and the
deed correct.
All of which is respectfully submitted. " '

KEPOET OF INCAPACITATED CLERGY
FUND COMMITTEE.
To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Frederidon and
the General Committee of the Diocesan Church Society :
The Committee appointed to prom'ote the interests of the
Incapacitated Clergy Fund, and to whom were referred for
amendment the rules at present governing that fund, beg to
report as follows :
During the past year the sum of $1,109.47 has been paid in
to the credit of the Incapacitated Clergy Special Fund, which
with the amount of $1,401.50 paid in last year, represents
1^2,510.97.
The annexed statement in reference to the fund has been
printed and circulated through the Diocese during the past
year with the approval and under the order of the Executive
<Jommittee.
With respect to the rules at present governing the fund,
your Committee beg to submit the accompanying revision of
such rules, which they recommend for adoption by the Gen-
eral Committee.
Your Committee earnestly hope that the Diocese generally
will do all in its power to promote the interests of this most
necessary and important fund.
Respectfully submitted.
By order of the Committee.

Iiica7i>acitated Clergy Fund.
An earnest appeal on behalf of this fund was issued last
year bv a special committee appointed for that purpose. The
appeal cannot have reached as many hearts as could be wished,
for the response last year was only $1,500, which sum was
mainly subscribed or collected by the Clergy. The question
is really one for the laity, who should take care that they da
not allow their ministers to suffer want when in disability
from old age or enfeebled health. The appeal is found at
page 109 of the Report for 1884.
There is good provision made for the widows and orphans of
deceased clergvmen, but hardly any for the clergy who may
be disabled either for life or for a time. The prospect of
prolonged life without full strength and health must therefore
be more depressing to a clergyman from a financial point of
view, than that of premature death. The sentiment of sym-
pathy for the bereaved touches the heart more than simple
duty towards an aged minister of God. ^ , ■; ^ m .
It is proposed to raise enough during the next five years to
provide some annuity for four clergymen who may Have be-
come disabled. The sum required is $15,000, of which about
one-tenth ($1,500) has been raised. The remainder can easily
be made up within the five years if there be any real sympathy
excited for this most-deserving object. Thus, say:

APPENDIX.
THE ENVELOPE SYSTEM.
As one means of increasing the contributions and lessening the-
difficulties of collection, the Board of Home Missions recommends that
Weekly Offerings be substituted for Yearly Subscriptions, wherever
practicable.
The Weekly Offerings upon the Envelope System, have been found
to work well in many parts of the Diocese where it has been tried.
The tirst step towards the adoption of this system in a Parish, is to
ascertain from all the members of the Congregation what sum they are
willing to contribute at the Weekly Offertory; and this being done —
1. Pledges will be received from the Parishioners for a fixed weekly
gum, from one cent to one dollar and upwards, to be given in an en-
velope, at the services on each Sunday.
2. A package of envelopes will be given to each contributor, printed
with blanks for name and amount of offering.
3. The Treasurer will enter the amount thus received each week, to
the credit of each contributor, in a book to be kept exclusively for this
purpose.
4. A staled meeting of the Vestry or Parishioners will be Ik quar-
terly; at which mec-ting the Treasurer will report all subscriptions in
arreai's, and at the close of the Parish year will also present all the last
year's accounts of the Parish, which will then be audited and settled.
By the above plan, the following objects are sought to be accom-
plished :
1. That not only heads of families, but all in the Parish, old and
young, who have any means and earning of tkeir own, may contribute
according to their ability to the support of the Church.
2. That they may, as regularly as possible at the appointed time,
bring their pledged Weekly Offeri/ign to Church, instead of paying them at
tb« call of the Collector.
[NoTK. — The principle ot the Envelope System is not interfered with
when, an in exceptional cases, it may be convenient to contribute onck
A FOKTNiGUT, or at any other stated period within the Quarter]
8 That the Parish revenue may not fall into arrears and debt be
incurred.
4. That the income of the Parish may be materially increased, so that,
mainly from this source, sutlieient provision ma;, be mad© for the sup-
port of the Clergyman.
All these objects may be easily attained if the Church Wardens be
willingly and elHciently sustained in their efforts by those whose repre-
sentatives they are.
The above phin has been adopted, with some variations, in a number
of Parishes in several Dioceses and has been successful.
It is hoped that it may receive serious consideration in every Mission.
in this Diocese, and that it may bo generally adopted.
