Prevent u», Lord, in nil our doings ivith Thy most gracious fkvour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in Thco, wo may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. merciful God, wbo hast made all men and hatest nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldcst the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live ; Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Ucretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word ; and so fetch them home, 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, Lord, the labours 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 undertakings which we have now in hand. " Prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us ; 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, wiiich 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 our 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, . ,. . CONSTITUTION Ctie etiurtf) »otUtis <)( tht mioMt ot ilHontreaL Ihoobporatbd bt Tni Statuti or Canada, 14 and 16 Viotobia, Gap.

Second,— the building in every place where it may be required, a Church of brick or stone, upon a well-considered plan as to dimensions, external form, and internal arrangement, keeping in view the probability of its requiring enlargement. TTiird,— The assisting of the diiferent Parishes and Missions in the Diocese, in the erection of a residence for the Clergyman, by loan, to be repaid by instalments. Fourth, — The procuring an adequate and permanent support for all the Institutions," Authorities, and Functionaries suitable and appertaining to the Establishment of the Church of England in this Diocese. lyth, — The encouraging the formation of a Local Endowment Fund, at every station or place having a Church or Clergyman.

The title of the ground on which the building is to be erected,-- copies to be produced. 3. The size of the building, the number it is intended to accommodate, and the probable number of the congregation that will be likely to attend it. The supposed cost of the building, the progress it has made towards completion at the time of application, and the amount of contributions on the spot in money or labour. m BOOS AND TBACT OOMMITTEB. At the Annual Meetings of the Society seven Members of the Society shall be chosen, to form a general Book and Tract Committee for the ensuing year. 13 . X. SERMONS. Such Sermons as the Lord Bishop of tho Diocese shall direct shall be preached in each year in each Parish, Ghapclry, and Missionary Station on such days as the Bishop shall appoint, in faTour of some one or more of the objects of the Society, and a collection made in aid thereof, which shall forthwith bo transmitted to the Treasurer of the Society ; and no grant or benefit from the Society shall be obtained for any object within any Parish, Chapelry, or Missionary Station within which such Sermon or Sennons shall not bare been so preached and such collection shall not hare been made. UY-LAWS. Ko alteration or amendment in the Constitution or By-laws of tho Society shall be made, unless the general nature of such alteration or amendment shall have been proposed at the next previous General Meet- ing of the Society, provided that not less than one month intervene be- tween the two Meetings, and that the object of the Meetings be stated in the advertisement by which they are called. At all Meetings of the Society, of the Central Board, or of Committee, the Chainuiin, in case of an equality of votes, shall have a double or casting vote. Whereas some Members of the Church, who are not unmindful of the great spiritual wants of their own neighbourhood, still feel constrained in pious gratitute 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 or instruction of the Heathen or the Jews.

In reviewing the operations uf the Society for the past year, the Central Board regrets to observe that ilie anaonnt of funds placed at its disposal has been less tlian in the preceding year, and that it is unable to entertain favorably the many applications which are made for the co-operation of the Society in carrying on the work which is contemplated in its Constitution. The following is a summary of the Society's receipts for the past year : — OENERAIi PURPOSES. ,1' Annual subscriptions in Montreal £31G 8 11 Amount contained in 100 boxes, received from > . Montreal Parocliial Association 144 5 3 Collected after Sermons for Missionary purposes TG 18 8 53T 12 10 Subscriptions received from the Country 252 10 TJ Collected after Sermons for Missionary purposes 79 15 3 . . ■' , Amount received from 21 boxes from the ^ Country, per Montreal Parochial Association 7 11 6 339 18 4} Collected at General Annual Meeting, ISST... 21 4 Rents, Interests, &c., 23 ! 44 4 Total from ordinary sources of income 921 10 6} Balance of last year 582 19 5 J Bequest from late I.

Amount collected in Montreal £41 19 5 Do. in the Country, 83 8 G Donations 16 138 2 11 Put to the credit of this fund from the fund for general purposes 71 & Interests and Dividends 179 14 Bequest from late Thomas Williams, Esq 25 ' ■ 414 1 11 Balance from last year, 156 4 6| Total 570 6 5i Amount invested during the year, 413 13 Balance on hand, £156 13 5 Total amount of investments for the Widows and Orphans' Fund is £2957 10s. During the year there has heen a decrease in the amount raised in Montreal of £l60 8s. 3d., and there has been a decrease from Parishes and Missions in the Country of £32 Os.* ' The Montreal Parochial Association has paid to the Treasurer the sum of £425 lis. 3d., which includes £15 1 168. 9d. contri- buted by the Missionary boxes. The total income of the Society hHs been £212 Is. lid. less than last year. The sum of £l75 Ss. lOd. was raised in the name of the Society and expended on local objects, independently of the Central Board. This sum is not included in the income of the Society, as it does not appear in the Treasurer's account £68 12s, 6d. has been contributed towards endowments, and £90 have been received from the sale of books. ;. The total amount raised within the year for Church purposes is £10,062 4s. 7d., which is £493 18s. 9d. more than last year. * If the monies which have been received from the Country since tho closing of the Treasurer's Books, had been paid in before the Slst Dec, there would have appeared an increase. •' 19 It is sntisfiictory to observe in tho different reports whicli have been received from the Clergy, that much interest continues to be manifested by the members of their respective congregations in tho various and important objects in which the Society is engaged. A few extracts will suffice to show liow fully this is tho case : — Tn tlie Mission of Chambly almost every member of the Church is a subscriber to tho Society, and the contributions are made in the first three months of the year. From the Mission of Mascouche and Terrebonne the lib era sum of £51 88. lOd. has been paid to the Treasurer of the Society, 1 In Dunham every indivi^'al belonging to the Church, young and old, has been asked to contribute to the Society's Funds, 80 that even the little children might begin the habit of contribu- ting to the support of the Church. The result has been that there are 200 subscribers, and the amount is more than double what it was in 1850. During the past year the commodious and substantial church at Belmont (Hemminglbrd West) has been consecrated ; and also- the beautiful little church at Churchville, which was erected at a cost of £000. In tho latter mission liberal contributions have been made towards the improvements of the premises of the Mis- sisquoi Iligh-School, which is now the property of the Church, In FrostVillage a parsonage-house and glebe have been secured at a cost of £225, which have been subscribed. The members of the Church in that part of the Diocese have already done much for the supply of the spiritual wants of^the neighbourhood ; but it is a matter of regret that these efforts leave many members of our Church destitute. It is therefore very desirable that the services of an additional Missionary should be secured as early as possible. In the Gore the ruinous and comfortless church, in which the inhabitants have hitherto assembled for Divine Worship, will sooil be replaced by one of a suitable character ; the exterior walls of •which, together with bell-turret and porch, are finished. In New Glasgow the people have subscribed for the restoration of the interior of the church, which has for some time been in a dilapidated condition. In Potton, ^vhero tho Rov. J. Oodden has been laborinc; for littlo more than twelve months, the debt un the church has been paid. A church and vestry have been orected, tho interior painted, and a convenient parsonage built. In Portage du Fort tho Church's work is progressing most satisfactorily. Tlie now church is already used for divine service, and a comfortable parsonago is completed. At Sorel £45 have beoii aided to tho Endowment Fund, and a total of £230 rai»e ,, : BERTHIER. Rev. W. Merrick ■writes: — There is an apparent decrease in oar Ohurch Society subocriptions, owing to the circumstance that two of the principal contributions, usually handed in here, will appear on the Sorel list ; otherwise the amount raised would show an increase over that of last year. I feel very thankful to be able to state that we are making successful progress in paying off the debt on the parsonage and glebe. No arrears of interest are allowed to accumulate ; the annual amount being regu- larly discharged by the congregation of Berthier. During tlie past eum- mer, an appeal for assistance towards this important object was made to churchmen in the diocese of Toronto ; and though the pressure of the approaching couimercial crisis was then beginning to be felt, the re- sponse was very favourable. The sum of £100 was realized, and thereby another instalment on the capital was met. In common with others of my brethren, I gladly embrace this oppor- tunity of publicly recording our sense of deep gratitude in view of the kind liberality which was thus extended to us. Divine service is statedly held at Berthier, and at three out-stations in distant parts of this extensive mission, two of which are '"> the diocese of Quebec. The hope is still cherished that the Church Society may soon be ena- bled to carry out some arrangement by which the country in the rear of Berthier may receive more pastoral attention than is possible under existing circumstances. The following are the contributions for the year: — Church Society subscriptions, £8 2s. Gd. ; OH'ertory collections, £19 10s ; Purchase of Parsonage and Glebe, £20 123. Gd. ; Pew rents (applied to support of clergyman), £21 5s, Donation to Catechist, £20; Repairs of Parson- age, £2 10s. ; Sunday School purposes, £2 lOs. ; which, with £100 from Upper Canada and £10 towards repairs of Pasonage from friends at a distance, present a total of £209 10s. BROME. Rev. R. Lindsay writes : — The sum of £53 5s., collected for the mission, has been reported to me. I believe tliat there is more to come ; but being too late for the returns of the Church Society, I am compelled to omit it. £25 of this, according to agreement, is paid to the Church Society. A further amount of £l 1 3s. 8d. has been collected towards the bell, which w© * 23 have purchased at a cost of £68 153. It weighs nearly GOO lbs., and in many respects is very sntisfactory to all who have interested themselves in its purchase. An increase has been made to the barn, costing £15. The Pew Rents and Collections, £10 ; Collections for Widows and Orphans, £1 liia. lOd. ; Missionary purposes, £2 10s.; Relief of sufTerers in Indian Mutiny, £l ISs. : maliiug a total of £95 4s. Gd. BUCKINGHAM. The Rev. "W. Moeris writes :— That he has not been able to collect as much this year as he expected for the Church Society. The constant report of hard times in other places (we believe) has had the effect of causing his congregation to restrain their liberality for the present in their pecuniary contributions. The people, however, have been active in their aid for local purposes. George W. Eaton, Esq. has contri- buted upwards of £10 worth of lumber for the erection of sheds and , for the repairs of other things belonging to the church property in that place. The amount realized at the annual sermon for the Church Society was £1 iTs. Gd. ; for the Widows and Orphans, IO8.5 and for the general purposes of the Society, £5 2s. Gd. : the total being £7 ; the whole of which hag been remitted to the Treasurer, T. B. Anderson, Esq. CHAMBLY. • -' . Rev. J. P. White states : — I am happy in being able to remark, that there has been an increase in our subscription-list for the past year over the last, nad a larger amount contributed after the two Annual Sermons ; evidence, it is hoped, of regard for the interests of the Church. Our collectors were zealous in their efforts to pro- cure subscribers to the tJociety, inasmuch as almost every church- member in the Mission is enrolled also as a member of our excellent Church Society. For this I thank God, and trust that we may con- tinue steadfast, "and abounding in tlie work of the Lord"; for I feel convinced that to be employed in the furtherance of such objects as the Society contemplates, cannot but possess a salutary influence upon all who are therein engaged. And there is urgent causes why the ob- jects of our Society should be dear to the hearts of churchmen in the Province ; the day having now arrived when they must depend more upon their own exertions for the maintenance and extension of their holy faith. The S. P. G., which has done so much for the Church in Canada, finding such innumerable calls upon its bounty from all parts of the vast colonial possessions of Great Britain, has now determined that the Canadian Church must not any longer expect to enjoy that large measure of help hitherto afforded to it. And to the Church So- ciety it is that churchmen must look for the supply of their spiritual wants. May all mark the claims it has upon them, and contribute gladly towards a Society which has for its objects the diffusion of Christ's word* and the consolidation of his Church in our Diocese. The congregation of St. Stephen's Church have exhibited, as will be seen from the following details, commendable liberality ; and I cannot refrain from tendering them my thanks, and also the collectors, for their zeal and diligence. A subscription-list, in compliance with the Bishop's circular, has also been opened for donations towards the new Church Cathedral, which, when received, shall be paid to the Treasurer. of the Cathedral Fund. Local Expenses: — Clergyman's stipend, £10 ; Church expenses, £25; insurance on Church and House, £0; Sacramental collections, 10s.

Sykes : — This year I have to report the result of seven months' labour only, viz. from the first of January to the end of July, at which time my ministerial duties in this part of the great mis- sionary field terminated. Although Portage du Fort forms part of another mission, I have with great pleasure to record one more act of the kind liberality of its inha- bitants. On the first day of January, a deputation waited on me and presented me with a purse containing £10, also a present of two sackft of flour, with an address expressive of gratitude for past labours. I shall ever remember the many kindnesses I have received at the hand of G. W. Usborn, Esq. and family. I feel bound to mention two instances 25 viz. When Mrs. Sykes and my t\70 daughters arrived in Quebec, Mr. Usborn sent his clerk on board the vessel, to take charge of their baggage, &c., entertained tliem at his private residence for 10 or 12 days, paid their passage on board the steamer, and provided a home for them for a fortnight at Portage du Fort, while the house at Clarendon was being fitted up. To Mrs. Usborn and daughters, my especial thanks are due for a present of a well and neatly made lawn surplice, the work of their own hands. The people of Onslow have contributed £G 18s. lid. towards my support (namely the congregation at Quio, £5 10s. Cd., and from con- gregation at Mr. Phillips, £1 8s. lid.). The people of Bristol sent mo a polite note expressing a desire to exonerate themselves from a charge •which they said I had made against them for not contributing something towards my support. I have since received 33. 9d. Mr. R. B. Hudson and his son Benjamin have jointly given an acre of land, value £15, for a site for a church and burial-ground, situated about seven miles from the church at the Quio, and on the main road in the Township of Bristol. In Clarendon, the same liberal spirit will be seen putting-forth life and energy in the same direction as mentioned in my last report, and to a far greater extent, in not only providing for the present, but in making provision for the future, operations of the Church in this place. It is pleasing to find, that, although a new mission has been formed, and that five annual subscribers, paying together £2 5s. a year to the Church Society, have been handed over to the Rev. J. Gribble, three new sub- Bcribers have been added to the list of members. '.

They hare pledged themselves to raise by subscription the sum of fifty pounds a year currency towards the Clergyman's support. The first £50 will be due on the first day of January 1858, and is to be collected by tho Churchwardens and Committee appointed for that purpose. The names of *l\ persons subscribing £45 towards the first fifty pounds will be found in the Appendix of this Report, also a list of subscribers to- wards Glebe and Parsonage at Clarendon. In January 1855, a rule was established that each mother bringing a child to be baptized should be requested to give a thankoflFeriug towards the purchase of a font. I flra happy to say it has had the desired effect. 70 mothers have contributed £7 43. 4Jd- ; and now a marble font is " set in the ancient usual place," near the door at " the lower end " of the church, " to intimate that baptism is the entrance into the Mystical Church." The font (minus the base) is that which formerly stood in Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal. It was saved at the time of the fire, and afterwards presented to me by the Rector and the Churchwardens, for which I here express my sincere thanks. The above sum has been expended in furnishing a new base, for packing-cases, and in freight, &c. from Montreal to Clarendon. ... COWANSVILLE AND CHURCHVILLE MISSION'. The Rev. J. C Davidson writes: — The Church at Churchville was consecrated in June last ; since that time the attendance has been as large as could be expected amidst a population greatly divided in reli- gious sentiments, and whose prejudices against the Church of England have been of long duration. The members and friends of the Church in Cowansville and Church- ville, though few, are distinguished by great liberality. During the four past years a very substantial foundation has been laid for future prospe- rity. Tho tokens of spiritual prosperity are not so satisfactory ; but tho few that are disposed to be earnest and sincere Christians, unite in prayer that those who are careless about their spiritual interests " may both perceive and know what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfil the same." The Missisquoi High School continiips in a prosperous condition. The clergyman resides in the uj^jcr i>art of the building. Liberal sub- scriptions have bi'on made ti-wards making improvements on the Missis- quoi High-Scliool jiremises. A neat and comfortable brick stable has been erected, and other improvements are contemplated. The following is the account of the subscriptions and collections for local and other purposes during the past year : — Church Society, £G 38, 3d. ; Clergyman's support, £45 15s. ; Widows and Orphans, £1 lOg. ; Missionary purposes, £1 4s. 8d. ; Sunday collections, £5 3s. lOJd.; sub- scriptions for improvements on the Missisquoi High-School premises, £42 10s. Total £102 Gs. 9Jd. COTEAU DU LAC. • V^ Rev. T. A. YocNO ; — The following are the details of the amounts raised during the year : — Subscriptions to the Church Society, £1 ; col- lection for Missionary purposes, £1 123.

Scott reports : — ^We adopted the plan this year of getting the name of each indivividual member of all the Church families we could reach ; and the result has been, that, while it has added greatly to the list of subscribers' names, there lias been also a large increase of the amount raised. Something like £50 have been raised in this Par- ish, paid chiefly in kind, towards the support of the minister. The Sab- bath school, which we arc able to keep up only during the summer months, has been much larger during the past year than it was ever before, having numbered 65 scholars, and has afforded much greater sat- isfaction to all interested in it. We distributed a collection of Church books of a most excellent character among the scholars, to the value of £3, and we anticipate an increased and happy influence. We hope to enter upon the business of erecting a new parsonage dur- ing the present year ; but the expense will be so great, and the number of those who will contribute liberally to the object so few, that we can- not but anticipate great difficulty in its accomplishment. In addition to what has been done properly for the Parish, there have been contributed something more than £5 to Church objects in other places, and £2 10s. towards the India Relief fund. EDWARDSTOWN. ^ From Rev. E. G. Sutton : — Collections at Divine Service, £5 4s. 8d. • Contributed to church, church shed, and churchyard fence, £9 9s. 9d. ; Sunday school missionary-box, 69. 8 J (1. ; donations to Mlssionary,£2 169. 9Jd. ; Church Library, IDs. 5Jd ; India Relief Fund, 8s ; contributions for local purposes, £19 59. 4 J d- Total £30 Gs. Id. The general view of the mission derived from the statistical report will show that on the whole it is not receding, but advancing, both in the annual subscribers and in tlie gross amount ; and though there is abundant room for improvement, I am sure there is reason to thank God that so much has boon accomplished among a people, who, until of late years, had never learned that lesson — certainly never practised it^ which, in many cases, continues as a stumbling-block to their profession, that it is the imperative duty and 'igh privilege of every Christian to give to God and his Cliurch. Those of the laity who have assisted the Society by acting as collectors are worthy of much praise. In other points of view the mission prospers. A steady progress at- tends all our services and works of piety. The word of the Lord has, I trust, free course, and is glorified, and the Church is being built up and strengthened, notwithstanding the occasional, and perhaps in the wise providence of God necessary, occurrence of some few trials and dis- couragements. FROS:' VILLAGE AND STUKELEY. Prom the Rev. D. Lindsay : — Ir making up our Annual Report^ we find cause to express our thankfulness to Almighty God for the liberality with which our people have supported the various objects of the mis- •^ion. Our contributions to the Church Society are not so large as We could wish ; but as our local wants become permanently supplied, I hope wj shall largely increase our subscriptions. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Society for the help it has extended to us ; and I trust that the progress which God has permitted us to make, will encourage the Society to send the missionaries of the Gospel of Christ to the many spiritually destitute places in this part of the Diocese. I am sure there is a willing spirit amongst the members of the Church ; and as they more fully comprehend how freely they have received, they will the more freely give. We have collected : — Church Society, £12 13s. 9d. ; Pew Rent and Offertory in Frost Village, £21 9s. 8d. ; Mission Fund, Frost Village, £31 58. ; shed and preparing grounsi, £24 ; Mission Fund, Stukeley, £20 93. 6d. ; Offertory, £4. Total £113 lis. lid. We have also secured a parsonage-house and glebe at Frost Village, for which £225 have been subscribed, payable in three instalments. The first is now due, and the account of its payment will appear in next year's Report. GORE. Rev. Joseph Guiffin writes : — I cannot cuter upon my prescni duty of giving another Annual Report of our operations, witliout recording, with devout gratitude, the kindness of that Providence which has watched over our proceedings during anotlicr year, and which has crowned them with a degree of success, if not commensurate to our wishes, at least far beyond our warmest expectations. I am happy that the information I have now to lay before the Society, all circumstances considered, is highly satisfiictory. Since ray last report, wo have erected in the Gore the exterior of a very excellent stone church, bell-turret, and porch at the enttance of the church, complete, with the exception of the shingles, which, though ready, arc, owing to the severity of the weather, reserved to be put on early in the spring. It is a building universally admired. The con- trast between this and the old dilapidated building is very striking. In the latter, the hearers arc either shivering and aching in straight-backed, contracted pews, not having kneeling-room, or wincing under the sun's rays, streaming through the broad, uncurtained windows. The apptarance of the building is bleak, naked, and desolate without, cheerless and com- fortless within. The present church is as inviting as possible, and all its arrangements are intended to contribute to the enjoyment of public wor- ship, so that it may in every sense of the word be the parish church, the Sabbath home, " amiable " and lovely. The Word and Sacraments have been duly administered here. It is true we cannot give the increase, but never was the blessing of God withheld from faithful diligence. The fruit of our labors, though with- held from our view here below, will on the other side of the grave dis- play the greater riches, when beheld by unveiled eyes of a glorified nature. But even here below, while we have many discouragements, we have also some blessed intimations that " our labor is not wholly in vain in the Lord." On the whole the cause of the Church is progressing slowly but surely. I acknowledge with deep thankfulness the donation of a hand- some set of silver Communion Service for the Gore Church, from the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. A debt of gratitude is also due and is hereby tendered to the Church Society, for the munificent grant to our church of £50. George W. Hoyle, Esq. has merited the gra- titude of myself and my flock for his gratuitous superintendence of men at the erection of the church. Contributed by the men of the Gore in building materials and manual labor to the Church, £30 ; Incumbent has at his own cost done painting and erected an outhouse at the parsonage, £12 ; subscribed to Church by Orange Association, £2 lis. 5d. ; collected at laying corner-stone of % I i Church, jEI 133.

Id. ; collected for Widows and Orphans' Fund, 18 lid.; collected on Fast Day for the Indian Relief Fund, £1. Total £53 17s. OJd. ^ ,. , GRANBY. Prom the Rev. W. Jonks : — With much diffidence and anxiety I en- tered upon the duties of this important Mission in the month of April last, and have endeavoured witli the help of the Almighty to labour dili- gently among the people committed to my charge. The very kind, but 1 think too favourable, recommendation of my poor services, by the Bishop, to the wardens and congregation, has doubt- less contributed much to the kind reception I have met with from all parties, and the apparent success of my labours. The first year of a clergyman's life in a new Mission is one of peculiar anxiety and toil ; and although it affords often but a faint insight into the future, yet wisdom and gratitude would move us to accept with un- feigned thankfulness the favours of to-day, and to repose upon a very gracious God for the blessings of to-morrow. Although much has been done upon the spot to meet our local wants, yet I regret that we have effected so little for the special objects of the Society, as the day we fear is not far distant when we shall require its help even more than now. This has arisen I think from those two causes : At one end of the Mission we are struggling under a heavy debt, for which we have to make up £16 annual interest ; and at. the other end of the Mission we are engaged in finishing a substantial church in stone. We have raised for all purposes connected with the Church Society, public charities, local wants and improvements, £119 12s. 5d., contribut- ed as follows : — Granby Township, Station No. 1, £100 33. lOd. ; Shef- ford Mountain, Station No. 2, £13 as. Gd. ; North Shefford, Station No. 3, £6 3s. Id. GRENVILLE AND CHATHAM. Rev. C. Forest sends the following report : — The extraordinary efforts made by the parish for the repairing, &c., &c., of St. Matthew's Church, must be our apology for non-p«tion in behalf of the general interest of the Society. Under pressure of necessity, all our resources, as well as the generous contributions received from brother churchmen elsewhere, have been expended at home. Our church is restored, and, so far as our feeble means would allow, refurnished in a manner more worthy of the sacred services to which it is consecrated. Our thanks are due and are here gratefully offered to the many friends by whose generous aid we have been enabled to accomplish this good work. JH^ •1 While laboring for ourselves, however, we have not been nltogctiicr gelflsh. Our ability to aid others is but small, — so small indi'od as to be closely associated with self-sncrifico. Still we would not be excluded from taking a part, however humble, in the great diocesan work now in progress iu your good city. I allude to the building of the Cathedral. We may be wrong, but we have looked upon this work as one which should bo identified with the interests and feelings of every churchman within the diocese, — one wliich is destined, in the providence of God, to exercise a kindly and harmoni/.ing influence over our scattered pa- rishes, and to make us in sympathy as well as in name, " one. boily"' in Christ. " Let every family have at least one stone in the building," has been the sentiment of tliis parish. For my part I cordially trust tlio wish may prove prophetic. The Cathedral then will ])e a double triumph. Sub- joined are the details of expenditure in tlie parish. To shingling St. Matthew's Clnireh, X14 lOs. ; general restoration, external, &c., £22 13s. 6d. ; iron fastenings for walls, £5 ; alterations inside, £4 ; new roof for tower, £2 1.53. ; painting inside church, £5 ; paints, oils, &c., &c., £2 18s. 3d.; iTirniture for church, £7 53. 5d; making-up do., £1 5s. ; slab for church-front, 14s. ; glass for windows, £1 5s. ; balance of oifertory, £3 ; to clergyman, £7 10a. ; wood to do., Ac, &c., £7 ; widows and orphans, £2 10s. ; general i 'irnoses, £l 53. ; Cathedral fund, £22 10s. Total £110 Is. 2d. In regard to the subscriptions to tlie Cathedral Fund, I beg to remark that they were made but lately, and are payable in two instalments, one half in 1857, one half in 1858. The state of the roads in the first place, and the Provincial election in the second, have prevented so far the collection of tlie money ; but steps will be taken immediately to secure the proportion due, and efforts will not be wanting to raise the whole amount to £30. The half due will be sent to the Society's Treasurer sometime in January I trust. UEMMINGFORD. Rev. E. Du Vernet reports : — There has been expended this year on the Parsonage upwards of £125, which includes the loan of £50 from the Church Society. £25 have already been subscribed towards tlie payment of this loan. , Being desirous of getting into the building before winter, and seeing no prospect of raising the requisite sum for its completion, I was obliged to finish the building at my own expense, and at a cost of not less than £60. The following sums have been collected in the mission during the year :— Subscriptions to Church Society, £8 23. 6d. ; Offertory collec- tions, £6 53. ; Missionary purposes, ISs.; Widows and Orphans, £1 58. ; collection on Humiliation Day, 15s. I I, at In consoqiionco of our local wants, there lias been a falliug-oiT in tbo subscriptions towards the Cimrch Society ; but I hope next year to mako a more encouraging return. HUNTINGDON. Rev. F. S. Nevb reports that the following sums haye been raised in his Mijsion during the year : — Subscription, £l lis, 6d. ; collections for Widows and Orphans, lis. Gd. ; for Missionary purposes, 8s. 8d. ; contribution towards Missionary's support, X'3G Ss. ; fencing glebe, -JIO ; towards completion of Ilinchinbrooko Church, £25 23.; incidental ex- penses, £5 163. Id. Total, X80. LAPRAIRIE. Rev. R. LoNSDKi.L writes : — The exertions made towards promoting the interests of the Church of Christ in this Mission, have not, we trust, been unavailing. The Lord has been our helper. For anything that has been effected, to bis great and holy name be all the 1 1 Isc, tlirough Jesus Christ. The congregation at Longucuil appears much interested in maintaining the public ordinances of religion amongst them. Many of them, I trusti enter the courts of the Lord's house to worship him in spirit and truth. A very excellent choir has been composed of ihe Sunday School children. The church has been much improved by the addition of window-blinds and new coverings for the communion-table, pulpit, and reading-desk. The following collections have been made for the Missionary purposes of Church Society, £1 Is. 5d. ; for Widows and Orphans, £1 153. ; sub- Bcriptiouf; for Church Society, £4 16s. 3d. ; for local purposes, clergy- man, &c., £54 163. 6id. Total, £62 153. 2id. Collected at Laprairie for Missionary purposes, £1 ; for Widows and Orphans, lOs. Id. ; subscriptions to Church Society, £4 5s. ; paid in- terest due on purchase of parsonage, £6; painting roof of parsonage, £6 ; painting roof and repairs of church, £8 ; paid by clergyman, in- surance on parsonage, £2 10s. ; donation from La Tortue, 153. Total, £29 Vd. ; raised in the whole Mission, £91 IDs. OJd. MASCOUCHE. Rev. Geuald De Courcy O'Grady reports : — It gives mo very great pleasure to make my report this year, since I can announce the gratify- ing fact that wo have done well. While we have not neglected the re- quirements of the parish at home, it is most pleasing to find that in tho amount of money forwarded, after sermons and collections, to the Soci- ety, we have only been surpassed in tho year 1856 by the two principal Churches in the Diocese, and in the year 1857 by tho same two and an- 33 other, all in Montreal. I trust that from year to year the good work will progress amongst us. Our congregations at Grace Church, Mascoucbo, and St. Michaels, Ter- rebonne, though one or two families have loft the place, are still rather above than below the average I mentioned last year, and the number of communicants is increased, amounting now to 78. The Sunday schooli In both places have been well attended, and progress has been made. I thank God that the prospects of the Church here seem most encourag- ing, and that a spirit of piety and love for God and his services is shed abroad amongst us. The contributions for local purposes have been in Grace Church : — One year's pew rents to Easter, 18S7, jC30 ; a melodeon, £18 15s. ; Pa- rochial Library, £1 13a. 9d. ; repairs, &c. to Parsonage, £33 3s. 7d. ; expenses of Church, £5 16s. 6d. : making a total of £89 8s. 9d. The contributions for local purposes at St. Michaels, Terrebonne, have been : — One year's pew rents to Easter, 1857, £10 ; building a shed for horses (including a donation in boards from the Hon. J. Pangman to the value of £5), £18 ; to twelve years' arrears of rent on church-lot up to Nov. 1856, £3 ; repairs to church, fencing and draining, 188. 9d ; Pa- rochial Library, £2 6s. lid ; sundry expenses, 9s. 6d. : making a total of £34 14s. 4)d. Our collections after sermons in both places have this year amounted to £14 9s. 4id ; subscriptions to Church Society, £321 6s. 3d ; and by eight boxes, £4 3s. 3d. It will be seen, therefore, by examining the tabular statement, that we have sent to the Church Society in cath the sum of £51 83. 10)d. The boxes were distributed here last year for the first time, and a larger number will be required this year. It is a pity they are not more generally in use. Many people are most thankful to have this means of secretly expressing their thanks to God for mercies vouch- safed ; and the contributions, though they may not be very large, are still an addition to the funds of the Church Society. Total amount ex- pended and collected in the parish, £175 12s. ?<*.. MILTON. Rev. G. Slack writes : — ^I am happy in being able to make a better statement than last year. Although the pressure of the times has occa- sioned some persons to reduce their amount of subscription, yet the ag- gregate amount raised in the whole Mission is somewhat in excess of any previous year. There was contributed in subscriptions at Milton, £7 17s. 6d., and at South Roxton, £7 5s. ; collected for Missionary purposes, £1 9s. 6d. ; for Widows and Orphans' Fund, l7s. 6d. ; for Endowment Fund, £3. Total, £20 9s. 6d. 34 I MONTREAL. CATIIKDHAL.

Total, £3101 38. 7d. BT. LI'KK'8. Rev. F.B. Tatb; — Thoentirc withdrawal of the services of Archdeacon Oilson from this church, at the end of April last, had the effect of un- settling and diminishing the congregation, as then constituted. This was anticipated ; for to Lis influence and exertions its existence, under God, was mainly due. I am, however, thankful to be able to say, that a respectable and tolerably numerous company of worshippers still as- sembles within the walls of our house of prayer. The attendance at the Sunday School has not decreased. The following is a statement of tlie various sums con*.Jbuted and re- ceived during the past year: — To the Diocesan Church Society, £21 183. 9d; Widows and Orphans, £6 7s.; Missionary purposes, £6 lis. 9d. ; Sunday School, £18 8s. id. ; for the poor, including offertory, special collection, subscriptions to Dorcas, and communion alms at Hochelaga, £35 Is. 7d. ; collection on Day of Humiliation, £3 173 6Jd. ; Sunday collections for incidental expenses, £G0 9s. 2d. ; pew rents £112 7s. 8d. ; from sale of melodeon, £13 ; toAvards house-rent of Minister, £12 10s. ; annual subscription from a member of tlic congregation, £75. Total, £305 lis. Gd. Rents due at Christmas arc not included. ST. Stephen's. Rev. J. Elleoood reports as follows ; — It is my pleasing duty to record an act of Christian generosity on the part of Charles Phillips, Esq., of Bellevue Hall. He has in the most considerate and pr Iseworthy man- ner presented to the corporation of St. Stephen's Churt^h a valuable lot of land suitable for a site for a parsonage-house. The only condition which the donor has attached to his gift is the following, viz. that the house be erected within a specified time. u To avail themselves of the Iwncfit of thia donotlon, ii ' conpfrogatlon have coino forward in tho niuat liberal atul aelf fl I ^ iri,;. I i w 98 The amount laid-out on the building during the present year is £25 ; £30 having been expended in the summer of 1856. These sums do not include anything done by the people in the way of labour on the build- ing, bringing the materials to tlie church, or in "ooarding the tradesmen, the chief part of which fell on two or three families, who have shown much zeal for the Church, and who cheerfully bore what was rather a heavy burden. A person has also agreed to rough-cast the outside of the building next spring for the moderate sum of £3 10s., which will make it quite a credit to the settlement. An excellent stove has been procured during the season for this church ; and we here gratefully acknowledge donations from Messrs. Kains and Winfield of Grenville, also $5 from Mrs. Crawford of Mon- treal, and from Mrs. of the same city a very ornamental and valu- able font. The £25 generously granted to the church at the Petite Nation has been expended as follows : — For executing the deed and liquidating a balance due on the two village lots obtained as a site for the church, £9 10s. The remainder was applied tc^ards the payment of the debt incurred in arching, lathing, and plastering the church, which has been done at a cost of about £20. The people here have assisted quite liberally in freeing the church from this and some other debts. I very much regret my inability to forward any money to the Society this year, except the small amounts collected when the annual sermons were preached. Our local engagements have been so pressing, that every available penny was absolutely required to meet them. I enclose a list of the contributions for the year, paid in scaie instances in cash, and in others in material for the churches, which served our purpose quite as well. Should the Society kindly make us that long-looked for grant of £25 for the church at the Augmentation, which has not yet received any assistance from the Society, and for which I am personally responsible, I shall be able to leave the churches at both places in nice order, and, with a trifling exception, free from debt. The total amount raised and expended during the year for church purposes in the Mission is £19 ; donations, £2 16s. 3d. ; collection for Missionary purposes, £1, and for Widows and Orphans' Fundj lOs. ; making in all £23 6s. 3d. ' ' POTTON. Rev. J. GoDDBN writes : — Only a little over one year has passed away since the Mission of Potton was established, and it is, I hope, with not a little gratitude to Almighty God that I am permitted to make to your Society this my first report of tlie mission. 39 Let God alone have the glory for what little progress we are enabled to record ! As might perhaps have been expected, the year has been one of trial and of difiSculty, yet not one of discouragement. The people 01 Potton, considering that they were educated in other schools instead of the Church, have done on the wljole creditably, and from whom I have received many acts of kindness. When your Missionary took charge on 1st October 1856, there were X35 of the purchase-money unpaid : that has been settled, and about jG25 further have been expended in painting the interior and in alterations and repairs on the building, and in erecting a chancel and vestry. There was no residence for the clergyman ; but since then one has been built, a very convenient parsonage, about fifty yards in front of the church, and requiring only some jG30 to finish it clear of debt. There was no bell : one of 508 lbs. has been summoning the surrounding inhabitants up to the "house of the Lord " for the past five months. These are indications if material progress, for which much credit is due the people of Potton ; and many thanks to your worthy Society, to our liberal friends in Montreal, and our brethren in several of the country missions, for their generous assis- tance. We have beside to acknowledge with thanks several very timely gifts for our church, viz. an altar-cloth and table-linen from Mrs. Fulford and other ladies in Montreal, whose names arc unknown ; communion-plate from a Lady, and a neat case from a Friend in Mon- treal ; ten yards drugget from H. Morgan & Co., and a table from Mrs. McVey. Horace Stuart, Esq. of Stanstead, has given the church a quarter- acre of land, valued at j£G os., and Mr. G. Garland of Potton, land of the value of about £6 10s. The following amounts have been received during the year :— Collected in Montreal, £45 Ss. 9d. ; Waterloo, £4 15s. ; Major Campbell (per Mrs. J. J. Gibb), £5 ; congregation of Frostville, £2 53. ; Durham, £i 133. 9d. ; Sutton, £2 10s. ; Knowlton, £3 12s. 6d. ; St. Mya, £1 ; Adamsville, IDs. ; from a friend in England, per Mrs. Hutton, £5 ; and contributed by the people of Potton in labour and materials towards the parsonage, £40 Cs. Id. ; for the purchase of bell, £39 13s. 6d. ; Offertory collections, £6 15s. 4d. ; Clerical Association, 183. 9d. Total raised in Mission, £94 3s. 8d. ; out of Mission, exclusive of Church Society's grant, £74. 10s. : making in all, £168 13s. 8d. Owing to our local wants, no appeal has been made to the people on behalf of the Church Society this year ; but we hope that next year God will move them to give liberally towards its funds. Before I close this report, I must acknowledge the interest in the Church's welfare which several of our people have .manifested and the help which they have given, especially our friends Mr. A. Barry, Mr. Levi Perkins, Mr. James Manson, and Mr. McVey ; and may God lead many others to see the beauty of our Zion, and her peculiar fitness to lead the denizens of ea,rth to a blessed immortality. f 1 ^f) 40 i. . •* '"is m RAWDON. Itev. R. RoLLiT writes :— I am sorry to have to state that our new church is not in so forward a state as I anticipated in my last report. Though our people have manifested considerable zeal in their subscript tions, as well as by saving a great outlay of money by their personal la- boar, yet the cost of building, and the great distance some of the material had to be drawn, have seriously retarded our progress. All the mason- work is finished except the west gable, the roof is boarded but not •hingled, and the contractor is to finish his work in July, i. e. the church will be ready for plastering internally and externally. The people in Eildare are about to build a tower and furnish a bell for the church there. Besides the sums reported in the tabular statement, £1 was paid to the Widows and Orphans' Fund, collected at week-day services during Lent, making in all for this Mission £171 19s. RUSSELTOWN. Rev. J. Fulton writes : — In forwarding my report, I beg very briefly to say, that the stone church at Belmont (Hemmingford West) was consecrated in July last, and that there has been the sum of £47 lis. 4id. raised in the Mission during the last year, viz : — Widows and Or- phans' Fund, £1 10s. ; Indian Relief Fund, £1 5s. ; subscriptions to the Society, £15 8s. 8 id., one half of which has been retained for local objects ; subscriptions to the new church at Belmont, £18 lOs. ; donations for local objects at Manningville, ISs. 9d. ; Offertory, £10 Is. 5d. Total, £47 13s. lOd. ST. ANDREWS. Rev. William Abbott reports the following contributions : — £3 5s. for Church Society ; after sermons for Missionary purposes £l 16s. 9d., and for Widows and Orphans £2 5s. 5d. ; and for Indian Relief Fund, on Fast Day, £2 16s. 9d. ; for painting, repairs, incidental expenses, organist's and sexton's salaries, &c., &c., £52 14s. Is. : making a total of £62 18s. ST. ARMAND EAST. Rev. Canox Reid states that £25 10s. 5d. have been raised for the Church Socieiy, which has been expended to meet the expenses attend- ing the repairs of the Parsonage, leaving a debt to be provided for of £66 2s. Id.; collected for missionary purposes, £1 5s.; contributed for local purposes, £82 15s. 6d.: total £111 Ss. 8d. ST. ARMAND WEST. The Rev. C. A. Wbtherall reports that £11 5s. have been collected in his parish for the Church Society. £3 15s. have been retained in 41 the parish towards the payment of the Parsonage stable : the remain- der, £1 10s., has been remitted to the Parent Society. Collections for the past year have been as follows :— To Church Society £11 5s., Mis- sionary purposes IGs. lOJd., Widows and Orphans' Fund £2 158., to- wards Clergyman's support £63, sundry collections £9 ; total £66 ISs. lOid. ST. JOHN'S. From the Revi Canon Bamoboft : — In making our collections for the past year we have been reminded, not only of the pressure in the com- mercial world, but also of the losses we hare sustained by deaths and removals. There have been raised the following sums:— For the CLirch So- ciety, £53 143. 8d. ; for the French Mission, £25 ; towards a new bell and repairs of steeple, £105; and for other purposes, £219 5s. : making a total of £272 19s. 8d. In closing the report of the tenth year of his ministry at St. John's, the Rector feels it due to his parishioners to acknowledge the cordial manner in which they have responded to the calls which have been made on their liberality. During the last ten years they have contributed not less than five hundred pounds to the objects of the Church Society ; while in enlarging the church, repairing the parsonage, opening a new burial-ground, providing a new bell, and erecting a school building, they have raised over a thousand pounds, apart from the current ertienses of the church. I know that this has been accomplished only by p . d,t self- denial, and in the midst of adverse circumstances. Let us hope and pray that these gifts may be returned in spiritual blessings on the parish. SHEFFORD. Rev. A. Whitten reports that the amount of subscriptions to the Church Society this year has fallen somewhat short of that of last year. This is in consequence of the monetary crisis, which has affected far- mers as well as merchants and bankers, in reducing the price of pro- duce, stock, &c., and in the little or no demand even at reduced prices. The amount of subscriptions, as will he seen by the list, is £12 6d. ; collected for Widows and Orphans' Fund, £2 ; annual subscription for Clergyman's salary £27, and £3 8s. 4d. to the same object from the Church funds (making in all for this purpose £30 83. 4d.) In addition to the above sums raised in this mission for the current year, the people very kindly made a donation towards the minister's support, amounting, in money, produce, &c., to £16. STANBRIDGE EAST. Rev. J. CoNSTANTiNB writcs :— We are enabled to present a some- what improved report this year ; and I am thankful to say there is a ;« 42 growing disposition among the people of this mission to recognize the claims of the Society. There is also a generally improved tone in other matters connected with the progress of true religion among them, so that I would hope a good foundation is being laid for more enlarged saccess. After a two years' absence in England, I was received back at midsummer with a most kind welcome, and found my house supplied with provisions for our use by an association of pious ladies, to whose good offices the Church is much indebted. Of the sum..of i;2G 4s. 4id. returned as contributed for local purposes, this association contributed £4 18s. 8jd. for the provisions alluded to above, £2 lis. td. for fencing church ground, £2 l7s. 6d. towards doors for the parsonage, and 9s. 3d. towards finishing the parsonage. A general subscription brought j£l5 la. 4d. towards plastering and finishing the parsonage-house. In addition to these sums, a subscription has been commenced towards the augmentation of the clergyman's stipend, which, not being completed and as it would extend into next year, will not appear until the next report. The collection for the Widows and Orphans' Fund made since my return from England, 13s. Id., and contributions, £11 133. 9d., make a total of £38 lis. 8id. ' SOREL. :• The subscriptions to the Church Society amount this year to £22 lis. 5Jd. ; collected for Missionary purposes £8 83. 5d., for Widows and Orphans £3 33. 9d., for Sunday Schools £1 15s., Sorel Endowment Fund £40, pew rents £78 lOs., Offertory £36, local expenses £34 ; total £230 8s. 7Jd. Nearly every item here mentioned exhibits an increase on the report of last year, and the sum total is the largest amount ever collected in any one year in this parish. This gratifying fact affords matter of devout thankfulness to Almighty God, specially in view of the stress of the times and the now limited number of our Protestant popula- tion. His Excellency Lieut.-Gen. Sir William Eyre, Commander of the Forces, has contributed the handsome donation of £25 towards the EudoA;fment Fund; and those long-tried and liberal friends of the Chuich, Miss Cuthbert and Mrs. E. A. Clark, in addition to their an- nual subscription to the Church Society, have also paid this year, as regularly hitherto, their annual instalments of £10 and £5 respectively towards the same important fund. Sundry repairs of the church pro- perty and fencing were effected, to the amount of £26 lOg., included in the item of local expenses above mentioned, and were paid by the rector. Thanks are due to the parties who kindly undertook the oner- ous duty of collecting subscriptions for the Society ; including two Sunday-school scholars, who throughout the year continued their praiseworthy monthly collections, resulting in the sum of £4 I63. 5d., included in the amount above reported. - I.T SUTTON. Rev. 11. Montgomery writes : — There is nothing more pleasing to the minister of the Gospel than to be able to record acts of Christian liber- ality on the part of the people of his charge, evincing as they do an especial interest vuken in the welfare of our fellow-men and the pros- perity of the Church of God. It is therefore with pleasure and grati- tude, that, notwithstandiug the great monetary panic which originated in the United States, and during the last few months spread commer- cial distrust and embarrassment throughout the wide extent of that country, the effects of which have been seriously felt in this Province . as well as in Europe, we have to chronicle some acts of princely liber- ality within the limits of this mission during the past year, as the fol- lowing statement will show ; and which we trust may prove a stimulus to others to contribute as the Lord hath prospered them, to the exten- sion and support of his Gospel throughout this rapidly increasing and important Colony. Donation from C. Kemp, Esq. towards the completion of the beautiful spire of our neat and substantial little church, X'50 ; Air. G. C. Dyer, towards the completion of the vestry and school-room, £23 58. ; col- lected towards the liquidation of debt on parsonage, including the third instalment of the Society's grant, £29 lOs. ; towards the clergyman's stipend, £20 ; insurance on church, school-room, and parsonage, £4 15s. 3d. ; by the ladies of the Sewing Society, being the balance due on purchase of church harmonium, hanging of bell, painting and papering of parsonage, &c., £1 15s. 6Jd. ; subscription for Church Society, £5 15s. IJd. ; collection after sermons, for Missionary purposes, £1 Is. 6d.; for "Widows and Orphans, 19s. 2d. ; for sufferers in India, £l 53. ; Offer- tory collections, £4 6s. 8id. : making a total of £141 14s. 3Jd. , • v^-, , ST. HYACINTHE. ! t- The Rev. Thomas Machin reports that in St. Eyacinthe £35 IQs. 10s. have been subscribed for local purposes, and £2 collected for the Church Society ; making a total of £37 19s. lOd. In Upton the sum of £3 lis. 9d. has been subscribed for local pur- poses, and 13s. 6d. for the Church Society ; total £4 5s. 3d. Occasional services have been given at Roxton Falls, where £5 lave been raised for the Missionary, and 15s for the Church Society. In Acton also, a small village in the Quebec Diocese, a monthy service has been given, which, there is reason to believe, is much appreciated. In every part of his mission Mr. Machin has met with unvarying kind- ness and hospitality. STE. THfiRfeSE. From Rev. G. De C. O'Grady :— I have had the temporary charge of St. Martins and Ste. Th^rese since the Rev. Mr. Young left : the former -■ 'il '}■'■, 44 (.;H place is now supplied from Montreal. I have not been able to give as many services at Ste. Th^rdse as I could have wished, in consequence i' the distance and the bad roads ; but I trust that before long the congre- gation there may be supplied with a resident clergyman. The aunual subscriptions have amounted to £2 Ss. ; collected by Rev. Mr. Toung after sermons 3s. 2d., and a small sum for local purposes. VAUDREUIL. From the Rev. J. W. Ptxx : — The following is a statement of what we have been doing the past year in our parish on behalf of the Ohurch and the Ohurch Society : — Annual subscriptions, including a thankoffering of £2 10s. given to the Widows and Orphans' Fund, £18 7s. lid.; collec- tion for Missionary purposes, £l 5s. ; collection for Widows and Or- phans' Fund, £1 16b. lid. ; collection for Indian Fund, £2 Is. 3id. For our own local purposes we have raised by pew rents, £31 5s. ; oflfertory collections, £10 l7s. 2d. ; painting church and placing new inside doors, £25 fis. ; enclosing with fence burial-ground, £9 188. lOd. Total £100 15s. 4d. Our list of subscribers to the Church Society has been increased by an addition of fifteen new names, and by an increase of the amount of sub- scriptions of £8 10s. I trust this will show that we are not indifferent to the claims of that important Society ; which being now, under Ood, the great hope for the future of the Church in this country, should be warmly and liberally supported by her highly privileged members. During the past summer we have been able to enclose with a strong, substantial fence our burial-ground ; an important object, for the accomplishment of which we are chiefly indebted to R. W. Shepherd, Esq. We are now engaged in preparing materials for the erection of a shed adjoining the church. Our parish, though by no means a rich one, has also contributed during the past year towards various Church purposes upwards of a hundred pounds. May He, from whom all good desires come, incline us and our brethren everywhere to labor the more diligently in his holy service, and to give a just proportion of the means with which he yearly blesses us, that we may serve him with our substance. May we ever keep in mind the im- portant truth, " There is that scattereth, yet increaseth ; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendetb ^o poverty. ' ic 45 EDUCATION. Extract from the Report of tlie Colonial Church and School Society. , ., The Report stated that during the period when the School Act was inoperative, the Society had dotted the wilderness with more than seventy green spots, where the waters of life and knowledge flowed freely. The Normal School— Was carried on satisfactorily by the McGill College Normal-School authorities, and had attracted the attention and praise of nil who took an interest in the education of the young. The students pass in rotation through the Society's Model School, trhere they are guided and taught by Mr. Burt, who has been appointed by the Committee organizing Teacher. The religious instruction of those be- longing to the Church of England is intrusted to the Society's Superin- tendent. They are met by him every week and instructed in the doc- trines of the Gospel, upon a system of which the articles of the Church of England are the basis. MoDKL School. — The Committee had been reluctantly compelled to incur a debt for the purpose of erecting necessary additions to this building. The flourishing Infant School was cramped up in so small a space, that even the limited number to which the Committee were com- pelled to confine the admissions could not be marched and exercised as they ought to be. There were no suitable class-rooms ; there was no room in which could be formed that indispensable adjunct to a school such as this, a depot wherein might be found all the needful material for efficiently fitting up a common-school room. But all this had been provided in the new building. The room for the Infant School has space for the proper instruction of upwards of one hundred infants. There are three spacious class-rooms, besides the one left vacant by the infants. There is a large front-room fitted up for a Depot and Commit- tee-Room; and there is comfortable accommodation for the second master. This has not been accomplished without much labour, anxiety, and cost. Mr. Evans, the Assistant Secretary, has been most untiring in his efforts to reduce the expenditure, by drawing out the plans himself, negotiating with the contractors, and daily superintending the progress of the work. Still the expense has been great, amounting to £684, and the debt contracted, to £400. CoDNTBY Schools. — The progress of education is both rapid and sound. It partakes of both a religious and scriptural character ; but there would be more satisfaction felt by the Committee if the scriptural nature of the progress more predominated, and gave prominence to true 40 charity in tlie religious instruction of the day. Tlio great want of most country schools was apparatus. Mr. Hicks' report was read, which, as it is epitomised in that portion of the General Report of the Society printed above, it is unneces- sary to repeat. We extract, therefore, only the last sentences ;— " In " conclusion, it gives me great pleasure to state that of the certificates "granted at the end of the first session of the McQill Normal School, a "lirge portion was obtained by students originally from our own insti- " tution ; and that of these properly qualified instructors, several imme- 'Miately succeeded in obtaining appointments, the remainder preferring " to undergo another course of training in order to secure a more ad- " vanced diploma at the end of the second session." DEPO.SITORY. The following are the issues since the last report : Bibles, 121 Testaments, 12 Prayer-Books, 588 Hyran-Books, 221 Sundry Books, 656 Tracts, 8834 1038a From the Annual Reports of the Society since its formation it will be seen that much has been done in carrying on the work for which the Society was organized ; but our duty is neither to be satis- fied with the ground already won, nor even to rest while a district, a family, a single soul, remains that has not heard or has not ac- cepted the Saviour's invitation. God wills that " the earth should be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the seas" ; and surely we regard his will but lightly if we make no effort for the maintenance and extension of the Christian Church, with its many and valuable blessings. , .; ' To do what in him lies for so holy and benevolent an object is both the duty and privilege of every member of the Church ; and if all acted up to their convictions in this respect, it would not be long before the Society would be able to extend its efforts to 47 those of our fellow-Christians and fellow-countrymen who arc now left " as sheep in the wilderness, with no man to care for their souls." And notwithstanding the regrets which have been expressed at the beginning of this Report, the Society confidently anticipates that the members of the Church will provide the means, not only for the maintenance of tlie Missions already assisted from its funds, but for the employment of additional labourers 'u fields now un- cultivated. Let this be done heartily and zealously, and then those parts of our country which are now a wilderness shall be as the gardtiu of Eden, and its desolate places shall blossom as the ruse. 1^' I f :':m »'■' r 4t iii- ^1 10 49 e»«w •4 ««« e> e e M JJMKI r^ «C9> ■1 •1 00 S«S 5?f s: n K « 2 SiS^sinsa o 9 S a o Is* > o -_• <« ft|S > >' ]" 1 ^ C5 % O ^3 S O 3 "(i >i > > > > > !»■ >■ >' t»* > > > Pa pg Cb PBBWBapgPBPaaB (a pacq pg 8^ a •S S ^ IQ CO lO M t» \^ « n s? eo3 OeOO /^»^ rH i-i .

The Annual Meeting of this Society was held on Tuesday evening, in the Mechanics' Hall, the Very Reverend the Dean of Montreal in the Ohair. The Meeting was opened by the Chairman with prayer. The Dean then briefly addressed the meeting. By the good provi- vhich has guided our Havelocks and Wilsons, and Outrams and Lawrences, and inspired them with an exalted sense of duty, a glorious heroism, which amidst scenes hideous, atrocious, unspeakable,-— amidst privations, sickness, death, — surrounded by innumerable enemies, and always under the reducing influence of a baneful climate, — has kept them firm at their posts, true to their duty, — giants, as it were, clingmg to the last plank of the sinking vessel, and bringing it again, with God's help, with safety into port. Let us then, amidst our pride and gratitude for these heroes and patriots, hope and pray that the number of these Nazarenes moy be increased ; that the light of the Gospel may shine over that benighted land, and disperse this heathen darkness ; so that this fairest portion of God's earth may no longer con- tinue to be disgraced with the foulest crimes, the fruits of the grossest superstition. Rev. C. RoLLiT seconded the resolution. He said, though not pre- pared, he could not let the opportunity pass, to express his sympathy with the sufPering missionary, and say a word to further the work oi" God. It was a striking curcumstance that a resolution proposed by the highest military officer of the Sovereign in the Province should be seconded by the humblest minister of the church. He spoke not only of himself personally, but of his position in the Church. If we have true sympathies with our fellow-Christians in India, let us show that we are 1 .r • r. to imbned with the samo spirit. When we read of the sufferings they have endured, the blood of humanity boils. Let us revenge them by bringing the authors of them back to humanity. Wc must send them missionaries, — and how cun wo do so ? By setting the Society at homo free from any burthens we are upon their liberality. What he was about to say was not intended so much for the people of Montreal as for the Church at largo ; for ho has good cause to know that the liberality of .Montreal needed little urging : and if anybody said tlie people of Montreal were not liberal, he had pajiers in iiis pocket that would prove the contrary. He had called upon them more than once for aid to his Mission, and they had responded to his appeal. He thought his face must be pretty well known to a good number of the audience ; and if there were any whose pockets he had not yet reached, he hoped yet to do so. The people in this country should begin to support their own clergy, and in this way display their sympathy for their brethren in India who lost tlicir lives through their zeal for the Gospel of Jesus. Tlien would the funds now received from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel bo applied not only to maintain but to spread the truth and make known the mercy of Christ where he is not named. There was another way : they should never forget that there is a God who heareth prayer, and they should give their earnest prayers for their brethren, — remembering God's pro- mise that they should not be in vain. Motion put and carried unanimously. Rev. J. P. White moved the third resolution, seconded by the Hon. Mr. Justice Badoley : — 3. '' That this meeting desire to express the satisfaction with which the members of the Church in this Diocese have observed the successful efforts which have been made for the extension of the Episcopate in this Province; and to acknowledge with thankfulness the success which, un- der the Divine blessing, has attended the labours of our respected Dio- cesan." Mr, White sincerely wished, for thosake'of the Society in whose cause they were assembled this evening, that the resolution had been intrusted to abler and better hands, and even now he would gladly shrink from the responsibility imposed upon him. No churchman who considers Epis- copacy as not only essential to the well-being and consolidation of the Church but also as of Scriptural appointment, but must rejoice at every addition made to the Episcopate, and the provision thus made for the discipline as well as worship of the Church. The additions yearly being made to the number of Colonial Chief Pastors is a matter of devout and solid satisfaction. It is a visible progress, a marked and evident step onward. From the Apostolic time the erection of a Bishopric has been considered by the wise master-builders of the Church, as the right and true foundation of a Christian Mission, Whenever a mission was sent 61 out or a church planted, they also sent men duly and legitimately ap- pointed to touch, wntch over, nnd direct its members. Unppily, priml* live usage in this respect, long and injuriously overlooked, has been re- cently recognised as the wisest and most lawful pattern in the Church to adopt, if she would fulfil her high destiny "as a witness to the truth" among all nations. The result of experience shows that the readiest mode of obtaining the services of a subordinate Clergy is first to name a Bishop under whom they are to act, and a reference to Missionary re- cords will prove how rapidly the number of Missionaries has increased wherever a new Bishop has been placed. And instead of, as in past years, a single cntechist being settled here, and a few isolated Presbyters thoro, set down alone and loft each to himself, to follow what might seem good in his own eyes, with none of that aid, countenance, and sym- pathy generated by frequent conferonce with an acknowledged head, — the Church is now alive to the importance of first sending a Chief Pastor for the flock, and thus to gather around him a band of godly fellow- labourers willing with him to spend and be spent in the glorious work of making known to men the glad tidings of salvation through the Sa- viour's blood. Unity and consistency are thus given to the work, and the Church standsforth in all her completeness and integrity; exhibiting the beauty, and as we would trust the influence and effect, of apostolic order combined with apostolic doctrine. And a system is thus built-up and consolidated for the use of after generations. The office of a Bishop is not an enviable post, but one of arduousness and responsibility, and not'iing but a constraining principle of love to Christ can influence any man to accept it ; and we may indeed feel grateful to Almighty God for having raised up for the Church's work such a body of godly, ener- getic, and laborious men, as the Bishops of the Church of England as a body certainly arc : it is a mark of God's watchfulness and love for our Zion. The llev. gentleman then proceeded to trace briefly the progress of the Episcopate in British North America. Nova Scotia was colonized by the British in 1749, and was erected into a Bishop's See in 1787, when Dr. Ch. Inglis (who had for some years previous charge of Trinity Church, N. Y.) was consecrated Bishop of the whole of the British do- minion in N. A. Newfoundland (with Bermuda anne:ced) was separated from the Diocese of Nova Scotia in 1839 ; and in the time that has since elapsed 38 new missions have been established. At the time of the consecration of the Bishop in 1839, the number of Clergy in the island was 10 : it is now 41. The Alissionaries in this Diocese have probably more difficulties and privations to endure than in any other; while so great is the poverty of the people, that the Clergy can expect but little pecuniary support from them in any of their undertakings : but the as- pect of Church affairs in this island is very diflferent from what it was Borae years ago. The Diocese of Fredericton was founded in 1845, to 62 which period it had formed part of the See of Nora Scotia. Since the appointment of a Bisliop to that See the number of clergj hai doubled : there are now upwards of 00. The Bishopric of Quebec, which liad spiritual jurisdiction over the two Provinces, was founded in 1793. The first Bishop was Bishop Mountain, fattier of tlie present venerable and pious Prelate of that See : he died in 1825, liaving exercised the episco- pal ofBco in the two Ganadas for 32 years, and was succeeded by the Hon. 0. Stewart, whose praise is in tlie Church, and who is still lield in grateful remembrance by many. The Diocese of Toronto was founded in 1830, when Dr. Strachan, the proaont laborious and zealous Bishop, was consecrated. The number of clergymen in the Upper Pro- vince at that time was 71 : it is now 158. In 1849 the Uev. D. Ander- son was consecrated Bishop of Prince Rupert's Land, in North America, —a vast region, far removed i'rum the comforts of civilized life, forbid- ding and severe in climate, and wliere the dwellers of European race are scattered thinly and at great intervals. The present indefatigable Bishop of Quebec visited this land, or rather tlie principal European set- tlement, in June 1844. Being in Quebec at the time of the Bishop's return, I heard him remarlc that the distance traversed by his lordship, chiefly in a birch canoe, exceeded 1800 miles each way. He remained there 17 days, during which brief period he confirmed 845 persona. Upon the Bishop's return to Quebec, he communicated an interesting journal of his visitation to the Church Missionary Society ; and the effect of the Bishop's visit was the formation of that distant see. Five clergy- men were then laboring in that land : now they number 19. We now come nearer home ; and in 1850 we find the two cities of Quebec and Montreal each to be the seat of a resident Bishop ; our present respected Diocesan having been consecrated Bishop of Montreal in Westminster Abbey, July 1850, — and long may he be spared to administer the See with the prudence, the zeal, and the consistency he has to this day mani- fested. It is a gratifying fact that the endowment for the Bishopric, proposed as it was at a period of great religious excitement in England, was raised within the period of four mouths ; but it would be unjust not to state that nearly half of the sum required was made-up by the munifi- cent contributions of the University of Oxford, and that unfailing friend of the Colonial Church, the S. P. 0. K. Through the suggestion and efforts of the Bishop of Toronto, and by the very laudable and liberal contributions of churchmen in the western part of Uppei Canada, a Bis- hopric has been endowed as the Diocese of Huron. The clergy and lay representatives of parishes in that part which was to constitute the new diooese, being duly convened) and after prayer to Almighty God, pro- ceeded to choose a Bishop for said see ; which resulted in the election of one of their number, Dr. Gronyn (then the respected Rector of London, U.Q.), who has been oonaeorated Bishop of Huron by the Archbishop 68 \ of Canterbury. Msjr tho Spirit of God rent upon him I May he be •n*' bled by Qod's blessing faitlifully to carry on the Church's work, hitherto •0 prosperously perfurmcd in that portion of the country. It ie alio proposed to form tho eastern part of the present Diocese of Toronto into a new Hce, and eRbrttt arc being madu to realise the sum required for the endowment thereof; and should it please Almighty Uod to crown these efforts with success, wo shall shortly see the Church in the Upper Pro> vince provided with three Bishops,— an important st'' > towards the more: complete orgunisatiun of our ecclcsiutitical system there. Tlie ui tuber of our Colonial Hinhops, which 20 yeara ago was only 0, now amounts to 34. To these will shortly bo added by consecration 3 for part? of New Zealand. As soon as tranquility is restored in India, arrangements, it is hoped, will be accomplished for the erection of three new liishoprics,— ono for tlie N. W. PiovinccB, one for tho I'unjaub, and one for the Pr i« vince of Tinnevelly. When these arrangements are effected, ♦• ^ number of English Colonial Bishops will be 40. For this extension ( f th> Epia« copato we may indeed bless God. Long as it was before churchmen strove to plant the Church in her perfectness ; yet now, thank God, they have, through Colonial Bishoprics, begun to do his work in his own way. The earth, which is girdled by Britain's Colonies, is beginning to be gemmed by her Colonial Sees. The resolution also cal'j upon this meeting to acknowledge with thankfuluess the success which, under the Divine blessing, has attended the labors of our respected Diocesan. We have just cause indeed to be thankful to the Great Head of the Church for having provided us with such a Bishop, endued with singular pra« dence and wisdom, piety and zeal. Much of the increased support which has of late years been given to the b.i;'i.*y in whose canse we now are met, must be, in a great degree, attriuuctid to the interett which our Diocesan has always manifested in its welfare, and to the conftdenct with which he has inspired the membert of the Church, by constantly presiding over its meetings, and directing its more important operations ; and the same remark may be equally applied to the Colonial Church and School Society, of which, as well as of this, his Lordship is the President. The cause of Christ and of the Church, we trust, is extending and strengthening in our midst, by the Divine blessing upon his e£fortB. We of the Clergy are encouraged in the exercise of our ministry; we have a counsellor and friend near at hand to seek direction from, — one who can sympathiKe in our feelings, and who knows full well the diffi« culties of our positions and the arduousness of our labors. May he be spared to retnm to us, strengthened in body and spirit, for his labors ; may we, of the clergy, strive to uphold his hands in all efforts suggested for the Church's good, and so seek the peace and prosperity of our Zion, endeavouring, by oar parity of life, our anttring zeal, our soundness of belief, and oar unity of purpose, to make our beloTed bar ch— what ^i '1 64 God has designed it to be — a praise and blessing in our midst. May the churchmen of this city also, who have the privilege of having their Bishop resident among them, be reaJy to co-operate with him in 8,11 plans of usefulness, for the welfare of tjje Church. They should trust that he may be successful in procuring aid at home for the new Cathe* dral now in course of erection ; but great things must not be anticipated, as the relief of the sufferers by tlie Indian mutiny must still, to a very considerable extent, engross the charities of the British public, — and, therefore, what is lacking must be readily made-up here. The Rev. speaker expressed his confidence that all would unite with him in wish- ing that their chief Pastor may be spared to return to them in safety ; that he might continue to be abundant in labors and works of love for Christ and the Church, — so consistent in life and so pure in doctrine, that when his last hour shall come and his earthly labor be closed, the welcome words may fall upon his ear from the Great Shepherd and Bishop of the Church, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Judge Badgley observed that the Reverend mover of the resolution had exhausted both the subjects mentioned in it, and well explained the origin and efficiency of our Church government from an ecclesiastical point of view. But it would commend itself to our regard from secular and practical considerations also. In our own families, our households, the social circle in which we move, the larger society in which we dwell, there is a necessity for control and superintendence ; and so with the Church, the supervision of a superintending influence over the clergy and their flocks is eminently advantageous to both, and the nearer it is brought home to those upon whom it operates the better. The Judge instanced the impossibility of effective Episcopal superintendence over this Dio- cese in years past by one Bishop for the entire Province of Canada, hence its subdivision into the Dioceses of Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto, and lately the new one. The extensions of the Episcopate had greatly ex- tended the Episcopal communion in Upper Canada, and its advantages were apparent in the successful labours of the Bishop of Toronto ; whilst here at home, none can deny the great benefits derived from the estab- lishment of this Diocese. The Roman Catholic Church, the most astute religionists in the world, are extending their Episcopate and planting new Bishops in all directions, and we cannot possibly go astray in fol- lowing their example. As to the Bishop of this Diocese and his exertions among us, little need be added to the very just praise bestowed upon that Prelate by the Rev. mover. Let every one who knows the Bishop of Montreal recall his intercourse with him, — let us recall the imperceptible but certain Christianizing influence which he has acquired in this city, and his active and zealous exertions in his Diocese, — and you will all unite cordially in the words of the resolution, and acknowledge with 65 thankfulness the success which, under the Divine blessing, has attended the labours of our respected Diocesan. Motion put and carried unanimously. A collection was then taken up in aid of the funds of the Society, after wUich it was Moved by G. Machab, Esq., seconded by Rev. F. B. Tate, M.A., 4, "That although this meeting regrets that the progressive increase of its funds in years past has relaxed during tlie past year, and that in this respect tlie hopes and just expectations of this Socieiy have been disappointed, yet they desire to express their cordial thanks lo the members of the Central Board, the officers, and especially to those bene- factors of the Society who have kindly exerted themselves in obtaining and collecting subscriptions." Mr, Macrae said there were several remarks, specially applicable to this resolution, which he had intended to make, but he had been antici- pated by former speakers. This was not however a subject of regret to him, but the contrary, as the points had been urged so eloquently. Still there were two or three things which lie would notice ; and he would in the first place allude particularly to the position of the clergymen of the Church of England in Lower Canada, which Avas a very trying one. Their calling in tliis Province entailed upon them a great deal of hard- ship and self-denial, and frequently want. Their average income, he was informed, was under one hundred pounds per annum. When we considered this, was it not surprising tliat men could be found to enter upon the ministry at all ? Considerable expense must first be incurred for the education of a clergyman ; and after many years of hard study to acquire the general knowledge and information requisite to prepare him for his profession, he must devote some years more to his theologi- cal studies and to acquiring a thorough knowledge of that sacred word which he must take for his guide ; and when once entered upon hia work, he does so without any encouragement, in a wordly point of view, for the future. A layman, when commencing his profession or business, hopes to obtain a competency, or perhaps to realize a fortune ; but a clergyman has no such prospect. He has only a straight and narrow way before him, from which he cannot deviate either to the right hand or to the left. Like the Levite of old, he is attached to the Temple, of which he is, as it were, an adjunct. On a paltry pittance of about £100 a year, he has to feed, clothe, and educate his family, and pro- bably he may have to incur travelling expenses in the performance of his duties. It is strange how he can manage to make both ends meet. We should not allow such a state of things to exist ; for there was enough to en- gross the attention of the poor clergyman without sufliering his mind to be troubled about the affaurs of the world or a future provision for his family. When his labours are ended, and the servant of God is about ¥M 8;-* i 66 to resign his spirit into the hands of his Maker, picture to yourselves his deathbed. Like the Prophet Simeon, he utters the words, " Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace " ; but his last mo- ments may perhaps — for remember he is human — be disturbed by caro and anxiety for those he is leaving behind him. And when he sees his sorrowing wife and weeping children around him, must he not feel a pang of distress at the prospect before them? He (Mr. Macrae) supposed that there was proba'ily no one amongst those whom he was addressing, who had not at some time or other lost some beloved relative or dear friend. They all knew what the agony of that parting was. But what must it be when to that sorrow is super- added another crushing blow. Picture to yourselves the bereaved wife, recalled to herself for a moment by the sight of her young children, now dependant upon her alone ; and what her feelings must bo when she sees, as it were, that gaunt spectre, famine, about to enter the door. Oh the thought is terrible indeed, and heartrending. One step further — After the man of God has gone to rest, and the widow and now father- less children have placed him in the grave, they return — to their home, would he say ? — No ! they have no longer any home ; they must leave the parsonage to make room for the successor of him they loved, who is now no more. They cast one last fond lingering look around the apart- ments of that dwelling whose roof has sheltered them so long, and which is endeared to them by so many recollections, and they lepve it for ever. Even the small income on which, during the father's lifetime, they managed, with the most rigid economy, to subsist, is no longer theirs ; and the widowed mother and her children have now no one to whom they can look for help but to God, and, under Him, to this society. And what is the support allowed to the widow and children of the faithful clergyman ? Forty pounds a-year ! Forty pounds to house and warm, to feed, clothe, and educate ! The Society would gladly give more, but they have it not to give, for there may be other widows and children of clergymen to be provided for, and if all were given to one family, the others might perhaps starve. Let us endeavour to remove this disgrace from us, and increase the funds of the Society. They had this evening heard what the objects of the Society were, and what claims it had on the members of the Church. It was therefore but right and proper that those individuals — " the members of the Central Board, and the officers of the Society," who devoted their time and energies for the advancement of those objects and the benefit of the Society, should receive our best thanks, which were justly due. We all know that in this country it might be said that " time is money ;" and thoso generous individuals had bestowed a great deal of time, labour, «and anxious thought in the cause of the Church Society ; and it must be remem- bered that their labors were gratuitous. Thanks were also due, in the 67 words of the resolution proposed, " especially to those benefactors of the Society who have kindly exerted themselves in obtaining and col- lecting subscriptions ;" and this we are aware ninst refer chiefly to those ladies who had kindly given their services year by year for this good work. Women had always been zealous in good works and in the cause of religion, and had received peculiar commendations in Holy Writ, wherein some of them have been deemed wortliy of being mentioned by name ; and in the times of the many persecutions of the Christian church, they had not shrunk from sealing their faith with their blood. Even within a recent date, in India, when the missionaries were cruelly murdered, their wives, after suffering the most horrible cruelties at the hands of the rebellious Sepoys, ycrished also. Those faithful Christian women had left their native land on tlieir labour of love and for the cause of their religion, and had suffered the death of martyrs. The ladies of this Diocese who had exerted themselves for the Society de- served and had our most heartfelt thank?. lie trusted that the appeals made this evening would not prove unavailing, and that every one would do his utmost, and strive to give Avere it only a little more than he had been in the habit of giving in aid of the funds of the Society. In conclusion, he would say, let us all bear in mind the words of the Offertory — " Be merciful after thy power. If thou hast much, give plen- teously ; if thou hast little, do thy diligence gladly to give of that little ; for so gatherest thou thyself a good reward in the day of necessity," Rev. Mr. Tate said, he could have but little to say after all that had been said that evening. He spoke of the uniform kindness he had received since his arrival in this country from the Bishop, the late and present Archdeacon, and the Venerable Chairman. He thought the Clergy in Canada were not surpassed in zeal and ability by any body of Clergy of equal number. Their field was a vast one. Along the great lakes and rivers of this wide country, and also far off in the backwoods of the forest. The progress of this country would not be believed in Eng- land. There were many there who almost believed that herds of buffa- loes might be seen in St. Antoine Street ; and if they were told of this meeting, would imagine it to have been held in some huge building of logs, warmed with red-hot stoves. The Society for Propagating the Gos- pel would withdraw part of its aid soon, perhaps all of it. But the people of this country would never let the Church of their fathers die out for want of support. Next year it would be seen that so far from going back, we had again gone forward. He happened to see the other day some sta- tistics of the Presbyterian Church of Canada. He was afraid we did not compare favorably with them in some respects. They far outstripped us in the sums raised for the support of their ministers. Perhaps this was owing to the fact that they had never been used to getting support for their clergy elsewher*. We ought to do as much in proportion to our 68 nambers as they. There never was a time when there wac more vitality ia the Church than at present. Nowhere on the face of the earth was so much true liberty to be found as in Britain and her Colonies ; and it was the same in the Church to which we belong. He concluded by exhort- ing his brother clergymen to labour faithfully, and the blessing of God would be upon them, and they should not want at last ; and by urging on the people the duty of every one doing all in his power for the support of the Society. Motion put and carried unanimously. The Chairman left the Chair, which was taken by Sir William Eyre. It was moved by Dr. Fraskk, seconded by Rev. Canon Leacu, D.C.L. : 5. " That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Dean of Montreal for presiding on the present occasion." Carried with applause. The Venerable Chairman said that he had told them at the beginning of the meeting that all the subjects brought before them would probably be fully ventilated, and he thought they would agree they had been so. One remark he would wish to make in relation to our shortcomings. We compare badly with the Societies of Nova Scotia, of Fredericton, and of Toronto, and, worse than all, we compare badly with ourselves. Yet we should not despond. The income of the Society for propagating the Gospel, to which we and all North America owe so much, at the end of the first quarter of a century of its existence, did not exceed that of this Society. At the time of the withdrawal of the Government grant its income was £5000 ; now it is £86,000. It had been said by a poeti- cal fiction that the beat of England's drum never ceased on the globe. He trusted before long the earth would be so dotted with her Missions, that the sound of the prayers of her Church would never cease, but the words of our sublime liturgy be constantly ascending to heaven. The meeting was closed by singing the hundredth Psalm, and the benediction by the Dean. APPENDIX. BY-LAW. To make provision for the administering and improving the Widows^ and Orphans' Fund of the Church Society of the Diocese of Montreal. That all rents, issues, or profits of lands or tenements, held by the Society for the relief of tlie Widows and Orphans of Clergymen, and all moneys given or granted for the same purpose, unless special provision be made by the grantor or donor of the same for the distribution thereof other- ivise, shall be put to the credit of a fund to be called the Widows' and Orphans' Fund. n. And that the Society shall and will put to the credit of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund yearly, and every year, a sum of money equal to One Pound Five Shillings for each duly recognized Clergyman in the Diocese, from the Fund for General Purposes, providing that fund will bear such a charge upon it ; and that after the current and customary expenses of the Society are paid, the charges for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund shall be the first paid from the General Purpose Funds, and that such sum shall be put to the credit of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund on the first day of April in each year, on the Lord Bishop of the Diocese forwarding to the Treasurer a list of the Clergy duly recognised, signed with his hand. KI. That each Clergyman, either Incumbent or Travelling Missionary, having Cure of Souls in this Diocese, in order to entitle his Widow and Children to claim the annuity hereafter provided, from the passing of this By-law, or from the time of his appointment in the Diocese, shall remit to the general fund of the Society the sum of Jfl iTs. 6d. per annum ; shall observe the directions, from time to time given by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, in respect to the collections to be made on behalf of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, unless such Clergyman shall have been excused by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese in writing under his hand, from making such Collection or Collections in any Church, Chapel, or Station, served by him ; but it is essential to the stability and prosperity of this fund, so as to meet the demands that may hereafter be made upon it, that every Clergyman in the Diocese should contribute towards its maintenance, it is hereby declared that any Clergyman refusing to become a subscriber, or neglecting to make the annual collections in his parish, or mission, (except as above stated,) shall not be entitled to any benefits of the fund for his widow or orphans. Should, however, any Clergpman fail to be- i ■* 70 come a member, and afterwards desire to join it, he shall make application to the Central Board, through the Committee of management, and if the Board should favorably receive his application, it can only be on payment of all back subscriptions. IV. That a Managing Committee be annually chosen, (at the Annual Meeting,) to control the affairs of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund consist- ing of five members of the Society, two of whom shall go out annually, but eligible to re-election, and it shall be the duty of such Committee to prepare, for the consideration of the Society at its Monthly Meetings, all business relative to the management, investment and improvement of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, and no matter connected with the manage- ment or investment of the said Fund shall be decided upon until it has first been submitted to such Committee for them to report thereupon to the Central Board. V. The Treasurer shall lay before the Central Board, at its Meeting in December in each year, a statement of all moneys invested, or in his hands, belonging to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund ; and of all Moneys received and paid on account of the said Fund since the last annual statement. And the Secretary of the Lay Committee shall, at the same time, lay before the Society a statement of all Lands held by the Society by grants or otherwise, on behalf of the said Fund. VI. That from and after the passing of this By-law, the Society shall pay an annuity to the Widow of every Clergymen who at the time of his decease shall have been duly licensed to the Cure of Souls in this Diocese, and recognized by the Bishop, or have been placed on any retired List with the consent of His Lordship, and from the passing of this By-law, or from the time of his appointment in the Diocese, shall have been a subscriber as set forth in Rule III, and who shall have complied with the requirements of this By-law, such annuity to be of Forty Pounds currency, payable in two equal half-yearly payments on the first day of January and July in each year ; the first of such half-yearly payments, or such portion thereof as may have accrued from the day of the death of her husband, to be made on the day above mentioned, next following the death of her husband, so long as she shall remain a Widow. In the event of marrying again, the question of continuation of annuity to be re-con- sidered. And in case such Widow shall, at her death or marriage, have four or more children by her late husband under the age of eighteen years, such annuity sliall be paid to the guardians of such children ; and should there be less than four children, then such a sum, not exceeding Ten Pounds, shall be paid as aforesaid for each, and, that all annuities paid for children shall cease on the day at which they attain the age of eighteen years. And in case of a Clergyman deceased, leaving no Widow, but leaving children, then such children to enjoy the annuity as above provided. But as circumstances may occur to cause this fund to fluctuate in its amount, the Central Board may, on receiving a sjiecial report from th? Managing Committee, respecting the funds of the Society, in- crease or diminish the annuity to the Widows or Orphans, should it ap- pear advisable or necessary so to do. 71 ion the fnt M7, to to vn. As it is but just and equitable that when any member of this As- sociation, who should in future marry a lady many years younger than himself, and thereby in the common course of events leave a Widow for many years drawing her pension, and so become a heavy burthen on the Fund, the following scale of fines shall be established as a rule of the So- ciety, for all under such circumstances. £ s. d.

Should any doubt hereafter arise as to the interpretation of this By- law, or the construction which should be put upon it, or upon any of its clauses, such doubt shall be referred to the Standing Committee, or to any otuer Committee that shall be appointed for that purpose by the Central Board, who shall make a report thereupon to the General Monthly Meeting of the Church Society of the Diocese of Montreal, and the de- cision upon t^ach doubt shall be final. 'At the annual meeting of the Church Society, on the 19th January, 1858, the following addition to the above By-law was adopted : — " That upon the voluntary removal of a Clergyman from this Die cose, " he thereby forfeits all claim for a pension in favour of his Widow or " Children, and that all exceptional cases should be submitted and adju- " dicated on, as they may occur."
