in case of an equality of votes, shall have a double or casting vote.
ARTICLE XV.
Whereas some members of the Church, who are not unmindful of the great
Spiritual wants of their own neighbourhood, still feel constrained, in pious
gratitude for the blessings they enjoy, to allot something, however small, from
the means with which a Gracious Providence has blessed them, towards the
spread of the Glorious Gospel among the nations which still sit in darkness ;
the Society will gladly receive and forward to the Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel, the Church Missionary Society, or the London Society for
Promoting Christianity among the Jews, whatever sums may be given for the
conversion and instruction of the Heathen or the Jews.
Prayers to be used at all Meetings of the Society,
AND OF ITS SEVERAL ASSOCIATIONS.
Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings with Thy most gra-
cious favour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that in
all our works, begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may
glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain
everlasting life ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing
that Thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but
rather that he should be converted and live ; Have mercy upon
all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them
all ignorance, haidness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word ;
and so fetch them hpme, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they
may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be
one fold under one Shepherd. Prosper, O Lord, the labors of
those Societies of the Church in the land of our Fathers, which
Thou hast deigned to use in the promotion of this object, and
which have nourished the Church in the Colonies ; and bless
in like manner with Thy Holy Spirit and Providential succour
the Society in whose cause we are now met, and the under-
takings which we have now in hand. " Prosper Thou the
work of our hands upon us ; O prosper Thou our handy work,*'
for the sake, and through the merits of the same Thy Son Jesus
Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the
Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
Our Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth. As it is in
Heaven. Give us this day or : daily bread. And forgive us
our trespasses. As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation : But deliver us from evil :
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. For ever
and ever. Amen.

ANN UAL REPORT.

The Central Board, in presenting its Annual Report to the
fnembers of the Church Society, feels itself called upon to ** offer
jinto God thanksgiving" for the brighter prospects which seem
ito have opened up to the Church at large, (in this portion of the
Lord's vineyard,) and to the Society in particular, during the
paatyeax.-
The division of the old Diocese of Quebec into the two
existing Dioceses of Quebec and Montreal, is an event which
must have been hailed by us all, as destined, under the Divine
Blessing, to increase the stability and efficiency of the Church
among us; nor can we have fiEuled to observe, with peculiar
^ttisfaction and heartfelt gratitude, the grace of God bestowed
iipon the mother Church, — ^whereby, in the short space of four
months, the sum necessary for the endowment of the new
Bishopric was raised, — and the gratifying welcome which all
parts of the Diocese hastened to tender to their newly-arrived
Diocesan. Nor have subsequent circumstances at all tended to
•disappoint the pleasing anticipations at that time formed. But
your Board has mainly referred to this important event, from its
■bearing upon the Society, whose Anniversary we are this day
assembled to commemorate.
The Society, which meets now, is not the Society, which met
for a similar purpose, a year ago. Early in October last, and soon
alter the division of the Diocese, a Special Meeting of the old
Society was held in Montreal, at which it was determined to
petition the Legislature for a new Act of Incorporation, consti-
tuting a separate Society in each of the new Dioceses, and a
Committee was appointed to consider what steps were necessary
to be taken, in order to effect the division thus contemplated.
The Committee, at its first meeting, appointed two Sub-Com-
mittees,, one in Quebec, and the other in Montreal, to draw up a
statement of the Receipts and Expenditure, as if there had been
two separate Societies from the first ; — these Sub-Committees
being directed to divide equally between the two Dioceses all
incidental expences, and all amounts collected from persons not
resident in the old Diocese of Quebec.

Proceeding upon these principles, the Sub-Committee in
Quebec carefully analyzed the published Reports and Treasurers'
Accounts of past years, carrymg on their examination to the
commencement of October last, and after a minute and diligent
investigation, (subsequently verified by the Sub-Committee at
Montreal,) it was found that the result obtained (and a gratifying
result it appeared to the Committee) amounted very nearly to
an equal division of the property of the Society.
The Committee reported to a Special Meeting, held in Quebec,
on 13th May last, and recommended, (with certain slight
modifications,) a Bill which had been prepared by the Honorary
Counsel of the Society.* Their report was adopted, and the
Bill has been since placed in the hands of the Hon. W. Badg-
ley, who has kindly engaged to take charge of it in the House
of Assembly. It has alr^y been read a second time, and been
Erinted by order of the House, nor is there any reason to appre-
end opposition to it, in its progress through the several branches
of the Legislature.
It may be added, that the Bill contemplates no further
changes than such as are absolutely necessary in the former Act
of Incorporation.

It will however be remembered that the amount expended in
grants last year considerably exceeded that of any former year ;
and the ^lard would add that several calls will be made upon
the funds of the Society at the next meeting, which will have
every claim for aid at their hands.
It is pleasing to be able to report, that the amount collected
within the Parish of Quebec again exhibits an increase over

spot being expected to pay one half of each instalment as it becomes due. A
more than iiiiHeiont sum for this purpoie has been received this year-

that of last year. The plan, adopted by the Societies at home,
of taking up weekly, monthly and quarterly Subscriptions, by
the aid of voluntary collectors, has been continued, and may, it
appears to the Board, be still farther extended with marked
benefit to the Society. At the same time, the Board avails
itself of this public opportunity of returning thanks to those,
who, at much sacrifice of time and patience, have labored in
collecting (here a little and there a little) those trifling amounts,
which, when added together, constitute no small portion of the
Society's Income.
The Collections, after Sermons for the Widows'
and Orphans' Fund, amounted to jS94 12 6

£374 14 II*
Being an increase of upwards of JS50 over the amount raised
last year.
Encouraging as this result is, the Board feels itself called
upon to urge the friends of the Society, in Quebec, to renewed
efiurts in its behalf, since, without the utmost exertions in this,
the head-quarters of the Diocese, the Society must be soon ma-
terially crippled in its means. It must be remembered that most
other parts of the Diocese are but poor, and must for years have
local wants pressing on them to an extent which ^1 prevent
their contributing Ic^gely to the funds of the Society.

This Association has not during the past year been idle.
Besides meetings in most of the Missions, a general revision of
the By-Laws was determined on at the Annual Meeting of the
Association, in January last. The plan adopted in this revisioa
appears to have been an excellent one,, and may be mentioned
as a model from which other Associations may copy. A Com-
mittee was first appointed to draft a new set of By-Laws.
This Committee met several times, and, having performed the
task assigned to it, sent round copies of the draft it had pre-
prepared, to the several Clergy of the Association, with the
request that they would make any suggestion upon it which
might to them seem advisable. The Committee then again,.
Il
with these suggestions before them, re-examined the draft they
had originally drawn up, and finally submitted the result of
their labours to a Sitecial Meeting of the Assembly. The By-
Laws thus passed will probably he printed as an Appendix to
the forthcoming Report.
It may appear to some members of the Society that much
labour was thus unnecessarily thrown away. But yet the
practical man well knows and will appreciate the difficulty of
drawing up a Code of By-Laws, which shall organize an As-
sociation in just such a manner as shall make it most efficient
for the purposes contemplated, which shall meet the several
emergencies that may arise, and which shall be clearly ex-
pressed without being diffiise. Indeed, the By-Laws of the
Parent Society, though drawn up and subsequently revised
with the greatest care, do not work practically as well as might
be wished, and are an instance of the necessity of gathering in
advice from every possible quarter, when the subject to be legis-
lated on is of a new and peculiar character.
It is hoped that, with these new By-Laws, this Association
will work with fresh vigour. It is, indeed, gratifying to be
able to state, that in some of the Missions of the District,
in which, of late years, but little had been done for the Society,
the old spirit has already revived, and the friends of the Society
have the satisfaction of seeing larger returns from the Sermons
delivered on account of the Society, and a list of Annual Sub-
scriptions, from places which before had shewn but a blank in
the Society's reports.
The Reports, from the several Missions, exhibit a total amount
of JB137 3s. 5d., contributed to the funds of the Society, being
an increase of £32, over that of last year : JB6 12s. 8d. of this
amount is from the newly formed Mission of Dudswell and
Ham ; and £9 10s. from the very poor Mission of Bury. A
sum of JS474 is also mentioned, as raised, within the District for
local Church purposes. Total ^66 11 3s. 5d.
The Board has pleasure in drawing attention to the statement
of the Secretary, that in most of the Missions of this District,
Twhich he visited, officially, during the past winter,) he
found the members of the Church, though in some cases
but a small band, actively engaged in establishing perma-
nently the Church among them, or in giving efficiency
to her ministrations. In Eaton, for instance, a Parsonage
has been lately secured, three-fourths of the cost of which
has been defrayed by the inhabitants of the misaon, and the
Church has been neatly restored at a still further expence.

ville, a bell and organ have been purchased. At Sherbrooke,
J6150 have been raised from the people for various Church
purposes : and at Kingsey and Durham sums have been collected
towards the repairs of one and compleiion of the other Church.

The Secretary reports having been present at the Annual
Meeting of this Association, held at Ppinte Levi, on the 8th
January last, and having been much gratified by the lively
interest manifested on the occasion.
At this period, the ivlegantic District Association was without
a code of By-Laws, and much inconvenience, as might have
been expected, had been the result. Since then, hovirever, stepft
have been taken to procure the passing of a code. The Board
would earnestly call upon the Association to organize itself as
speedily as possible, and adopt measures for regular meetings in
the several missions on behalf of the Church Society.
£83 13s. lOd. have been raised within this District, on
account of the Society, (shewing an increase over last year,) —
and JS155 8s. Id. for various local purposes. Total £239 Is. lid.
The Mission of East Frampton is at present busily engaged
in rebuilding in stone, and in a substantial style, the Church
which was destroyed by fire in the spring of last year. It is
expected that the building will be roofed in by the 1st Septem-
ber next. — In the Rev. W. King's extensive mission, several
works are in contemplation, towards which money and labour
have been promised, and among them a new stone Church r»
progressing towards completion, at Cumberland Mills, the site
of which, together with 200 acres, and £100 in money, were a
gift from the late E. Harbottle, Esq. — In the Mission of New
Ireland, £30 per annum has been engaged to be raised by the
congregation of the second Inverness Church, should a resident
Clerj»vtpan be established among them. — It is gratifying to be
able to add that a remittance has been received this,year,for the
first time, from the residents at Grosse Isle, amount £7, in
addition to the sum above reported.

post year. At Driimmondville, a new stone Church is in pro-
cess of erection.

A new Mission has been opened 'within the limits of this
Association, during the past year, and, as the people were
required to guarantee dC25 a year to the Missionary, it has not
been found practicable to make the usual demand upon them as
subscribers to the Society.
Yet from the three Missions that constitute this Association,
jB31 2s. lid. have been collected, being an increase over the
amount of last year.
Parochial Meetings-were held, during the past winter, at
Valcartier and Stoneliam, at which several of the neighbouring
clergy and the Secretary attended. These meetings have been
attended with this satisfactory result, that the snl^ription list
fVom this Mission has been nearly doubled : £6 16s. having
been raised at Valcartier, and £2 7s. 6d. at Stoneham. The
tohole of which amounts have been forwarded to the Parent
Society.
One hundred acres have bt 3n deeded to the Church, at Port-
neuf, during the past year, by the Hon. E. Hale.
(l^aspe lDt0trut ^90octatton.
The returns from this District are only on account of sermons,
and amount to jB 14 19s. 6d.
An additional Mission has been added to this Association
also during the past year, by the subdivision of the Missions,
previously existing. In two of the Missions, thus newly con-
stituted, steps have been taken for the erection of Parsonage
Houses, and in one of the older Missions (that of Cape Cove,)
the people have exerted themselves to rebuild the residence of
their Clergyman, which was destroyed by fire last Autumn.
It is hoped, that before the Society meets again to receive
the Report of the Central Board, Parochial Associations will be
in active operation in the several Missions of this District.

It is again the melancholy duty of the Board to record the
decease of a tried and valued servant of the Society, W. Ben-
nett, Esq., the late Treasurer. After this gentleman had held
the office about nine months, it seemed good to the All-wise
One, who ordereth all things aright, to remove him from his
sphere of duty here below. The death of such a man cannot
be otherwise regarded than as a public loss.
R. Symes, Esq., has been appointed Treasurer in his stead

and during the iiast year the Hev. W. VV ickes huii discharged
the duties of .Secretary and Travelling Agent of the li^ociety.
(Hiamlltiig IHtsstouanis.
The Rev. J. Carry, having passed the summer at the Quaran-
tine Station, Grosse Isle, laboured during the winter and till the
middle of May last in the destitute settlements of the Eastern
Townships. The spiritual destitution and ignorance of the in-
habitants of these parts, is referred to in the journals sent in
from time to time to the Central Board of the Society by this
gentleman in strong and moving terms. At the same time, the
a^iathy exhibited by the people in general, tends much to damp
the exertions of a laborer in a field that might seem to promise
an abundant harvest. Assuredly, if faith and love are needed
in any duty it is in such a task as this: and for such men the
prayers of their Brethren in the Lord are specially required.
The Secretary has been appointed to the duties generally
discharged during the summer by the Travelling Missionary,
viz.: those of- Chaplain to the Quarantine Station, at Grosse
Isle.
In conclusion, the Board would express a hope, that with the
New Act of Incorporation, new life may be infused into the
working of the Society. The experience of eight years should
surely not have been thrown away upon us. And now a" favor-
able opportunity occurs for an examination into the deficiencies
and imperfections which may have marked the system hitherto
pursuea. Certainly, the Society is not as generally known, is
not as cordially supported as it deserves to be. It becomes us
then to enquire why this is the case, and to see if measures can-
not be taken to excite a more general interest in its proceedings,
and thereby vastly to increase its im]K)rtance and efficiency.
It does appear to the Board that ever^ member of our
Church should have it distinctly laid before him, that it is
his duty to support a Society, which embraces, within its com-
Erehensive range, almost every department of exertion that can
e contemplated by a religious association. And be it remem-
'bered, that this is the only Society, of the kind, working within
this Diocese.
Indeed, as Christ loved His Church and gave himself for it,
so should every Member of the Church, within this Diocese,
love and lend a helping hand to a Society, which, as far as its
objects are concerned, is identified with the true interests and
permanent establishment of the Church among us ; and, which,
whilst it enables others to fulfil the Apostolic precept, ** To
do good, and to communicate forget not," would wish ever, in
nil its operations, to keep before its eyes its own motto, pro
GCCLEsiA DEI, " For thp Church of God."
