The Memorial w,is read and is as follows: — The Memorial of the undersigned Ministers and Missionaries of the Church's Mission to Central India. Ilionhlji ShmrpfJi That for years there have been in the Central India Mission differences of opinion as to the policy pursued in reference to certain departments of work, as to the expenditure of Church Funds, and as to the relation of unmarried women to the control of the work. 2. That out of these differences of views there have grown personal feelings, ibe nature, the extent, and the causes of which have been Imperfectly understood even by the Foreign Mission Committee, and still more by the Church at large: which misapprehensions have been to the detriment of the work and have added swiously to the difficulty of settling the matters in dispute.

Many difhcuUies would soon hav»- been settled bad they been left to be dealt with according ti. tlu> constitutional I'resbyterian system of guvernmcut by a majority of the office bearers of the Churvh in the country. 1. Methods and policies have hevn insisted on by the Foreign Mission Com- mittee against our protest, and large expenditures havi' been sanctioned against the remonstrance of almost all. at the very time that small sums have bei-u refused for objects of which all approved. All this \ ; bore; but now regulations have been imposed on us and insisted on, which we feel bound in conscience to resist by all constitutional means. EftortB have been made to secure for women an equal voice and vote with the Presbyters in the government of men's work. Step by step this has been granted to them, those who were opposed yielding for the sake of peace to compromiseB ot which they disapproved. In the end of 1895. new regulations were submitted to the Council for consideration. Although, after months of consideration, the Council, by a majority including all but one of the Presbyters, expressed its dis- approval of them, they were nevertheless imposed ui)on us. Thereupon, in Au- gust, 1896, we entreated the Committee not to insist upon them, pointing out that they were contrary to Scripture, and subversive of the functions of Presbytery, and if insisted on would compel Missionaries who s<'e this either to (!(► violence to their conscience or to refuse to iicquiesce. In reply, the Foreign Mission ('om- mlttee, leaving them unchanged, have exhorted us to give them a trial; which to our minds can only mean either that they do not believe our assertion of con- scientious objections, or else that they require us to disregard our consciences. This we cannot do, .-ind therefore in November, 189fi, on receipt of this reply, we felt constrained in the following terms to decline to acquiesce: — 1. We recognize with thankfulness the more conciliatory tone of this letter. 2. But we see with pain and grief that the entreaty of the majority of the mem- bers of the Council agiiinst the imposition of new regulations, against which they protest as unjust, fitted to injure the work of Christ, and ub('KKI)IN(JS OF THK TWKNTV-TMIUD OKNKUAI, ASSKMUI.V for the more pfflclent proHcciitlon of the Rniit work ((mimltted to us.

That in view of the character, which its work has necessarily come to assume, as a College for English-speaking young ladies, it is desirable, both in the interest of the French Board and of the College, that it should not longer continue to be administered by that Board. 3. That inasmuch as the Presbyteries uf the Synod of Monti eal and Cttawa have shown their interest in tiiis Institution and an appreciation of the work it is doing by providing a guarantee fund of $1,775 a year, for three years, in the confident hope that by that time it may be entirely self-sustaining, the Assembly hereby appoints a Board representative of these Tresbyteries. as follows: — Mr. W.

That leave be granted to the Presbytery of Barrie to receive the Rev. W. T. Noble as a Minister of the Church; but before being eligible for a call, he spend a year in Mission work under the direction of the Presbytery. 'J'he other applicjitions considered by the Committee were not reccrnmcnded. (1) Your Committee further recommend that, owing to the defective form in which some of the applications are sent up to the General Assembly, it be an in- struction to Presbyteries to have regard in their applications to the provisions of the Act on the Reception of Ministers. (2) That inasmuch as the number graduating from our six Theological Col- leRi's yi'jiiiy is amply sufflciont for the needs of the Church, Presbyteries and Min- isters be urged to discourage applicants from other Churches. Your Committee would further report that only eight applicants complied with the regulation of the Assembly, which requires that applicaiUts shall iippe;ir in person before the Committee. In the other cases, it appears that the several Presbyteries had advised the applicants that an appearance in their case would not b-? necessary. The Committee reports on the Returns from Presbyteries to the Remit re the Reception of Ministers, that seven Presbyteries sent in Returns to the Remits, namely: — Toronto, Guelph, Maitland, Barrie, Montreal, Miramichi, Truro.

That this Assembly, while gratefully recognizing the Divine blessing that has so evidently rested on the Ministers and people of our Church during the past year, enabling them to bear witness to the truth both in life and doatrine, yet feels that .'i richer baptism of God's Spirit, and a more complete consecution of God's people, are need<'d before the Church can b(> clothed with invincible power in rescuing sinful men. 2. 'i'hiit Presbyteries n.nd Sessions be urged anew to bring before all parents and guardians of youth the supreme importance of family religion, and strive to roll away from professedly Christian homes the reproach of neglected family altars. 8. '^rhat Ministers and Elders be earnestly entreated to consider what they can do to make the prayer meeting more .attractive and helpful to the people, so that it may be a greater spiritual force in our Church life. 4.

That while the Assembly rejoices In the growth of Teniperanc(> sentiment, it would not less earnestly urge Ministers, Elders, Parents.

Principal Caven moved, seconded by Mr. P. Wright: — The General Assembly deems It Incumbent upon it at the present time to direct the attention of the members and adherents of the Church to their duty In relation to the Lorf''s Day. The observance of the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath, rests upon Divine autLorlty, and must not be regarded as having only ecclesiastical sancthm. The mstltution of the Sabbath at the beginning of human history, the incorporation of the Sabbath law in the Decilogue. jind the reasons assigned for setting apart the day of weekly rest, clearly show that the keeping of the Sabbath Is perma- nently binding upon all nations and all classes of men. 4m [857] 50 AfTS AND IMIOCKKDINOS OK TIIK I'WKNTV-Tmitr) OKNKHAI, ASHKMHLY III ()l)s«rvliiK, accordliiK •<> Nt'w 'rchtiiiiu'iii .luthorlty, the flrnl tliiy of tho week iiuitcuil ot the Hfvi'Uth, wi> ('oiiuiK'tiinraio nt onco tht> croatlon of th<* world and tho reHiiir«'<'ll(»ri of ClirlHl; iuid llic Lord's Day. cvi-n as the original Hahhath, in to Ihj rcKardf'd as a Sabbath in iidatioii both to l\w phyHlcal aud Bi)lritnal woll-boiiiK of man Ih aticsU'd by all hlHlory.

PRESBYTERY OF QUEBEC. All the Stations in this Presbytery have been fully supplied during the year, with the exception of one or two which received pariial sujiply during the winter months. A larger number than usual have been under the supervision of ord.'iiu- ed men with excellent results, and the general outlook is brighter to-day than for some yea,rs past. We have nine groups of Missions, con, irising twenty-four preaching Stations; to work these we have a staff of five Ordained Missionaries, three Students and one approved Catechist. A new Church has been bnill !it Otande Mere, the people themselves having subscribed liberally, received very genei-ous aid from friends, within the bounds of the Presbytery and elfwwhere. i' so muth so that the Church was opened a few weeks ago fire of debt. A new manse has been erected at Valoartier, and only a small debt remains on It. There has been a substantial additiou to the membership of the Church, especially amongst the young, on profession of faith in Christ, and the people in several Instances have shown their appreciation of the services by increased contribu- tions to the support of Ordinauces. "\^ilcarlifr.— Good work has been done heri', and our MisKlunary reports that the people turn out in goodly numbers to all the services. A new manse erected. Marlow.— The Rev. John Turnbull says;— "There is some little promise of increase, as two or three of the young men are settling down on farms, but this Is counterbalanced by one of the older farmers selling out to the French, and another expected to do the same any day. Still it is an interesting held, and should be well supported, both for the sake of the old who remain here, and for the young who go forth from us to strengthen our Churches in other places." Metis.— Rev. Dr. Lamont continues to do quiet, faithful work; not much room for increase. Lake Megantic— Work progressing; a more earnest, devoted, plucky, little band of Presbyterians is not to be found anywhere. Sawyerville, etc. — Thia field has made very considerable growth, and has now reached the status of becoming a regular charge. Massawippi and Hillhurst.— These two Stations were formerly connected with the Sawyerville group, and will be supplied by a Student durine; summer. Portneuf. — Has been attended to by Students from Morrin College; though small in numbers, very liberaJ, and services much appreciated. New Rockland.— The Rev. D. Pugh continues to minister to the Welsh miners in their own tongue, future more promising. Grande Mere. — New Church built, opened recently, no debt. Will be looked after by the Students' Missionary Association of Montreal, without expense to the Committee. Chicoutimi.— The Rev. .T. L. Campbell reports Church and School doing well. Mr. Campbell teaches School during the week, and preaches twice and three times on Sabbath. Ours is the only Protestant Church and School in the district. Prospects of growth hopeful. PRESBYTERY OF MONTREAL. Progress of the Work. — There has not been m"ch growth in numbers in any field, indeed in some of them there has been :. decrease. Most of our fields are hemmed in by a dense Roman Catholic population, in which there is but little change from year to y(»ar. These small settlements of Protestants are constintly depleted by the emigration of the young men and young women to more desirable and progressive localities, especially to the North-West. In three of our fields the Minister preaches in both French and English, and sustains t>ie double character of a Home and Foreign Missionary. Part of his time and strength are devoted to making known the peace and joy of salvation to his French Roman Catholic neighbors. Very often his service is the only Protestant worship in a large town, or in ,'i wide tract of country, containing a dense popu- lation. One of the pathetic sights in driving through a fine stretch of land is an Anglican Church, with a small >)urying ground round it. doperted for years, and not a communicant of the denomination within many miles of it. Fiuaucial progress is being umtle In buine liclds. Yeiir by year the grace of giving is cultivated in a higher degne, although in some instances much re- mains to be done In this matter. In Milk Isles, wherr the amount given by the people brought the stipend up to only |tJUO, they are taking steps to raise |100 more. In Avoca some arrears have been paid and some new subscribers added. La Guerre has been united with Port Lewis, and the two hope soon to have an Ordained Missionary. In Trout River and Burke, the latter Station, which was originally a Free Will Baptist Church, is taking steps this summer to be fully organized as a Presbyterian congregation. In Lost River and Lake View two new Churches have been completed and opened, and a new manse erected. A redistribution has been made of a number of fields near the City, whereby they are removed, for the summer at least, from bwng a charge on the fund. Petite Cote has been joined with Norwood, formerly one of the Stations of the congregation of Cote des Neiges. A Student occupies this field for the summer, and, as Norwood has become a popular place tor suburban residences, there is a good prospect of a self-sustaining congregation here. Laprairie has been connect- ed with St. Lambert for the summer, although some other method of supply may be found necessary for the winter. It is proposed to supply Mount Royal Vale from Cote des Neiges, if this should be found practicable. New Work. — A Sabbath School has been carried on in Montreal Annex, a new surburb, since November 1st, with a view to establishing a preaching Station there :n time. There has been an average attendance of 25, and a good deal of interest. A Mission in Centre Street, Montreal, opened by St. Matthew's Church, has been taken over by St. Paul's Church, and the work there is vigorously prosecuted by the young people of that congregation. It is in a district thickly settled by poor, hard-working people. There is a Sabbath School of 150, an evening service, sewing classes for children, and parents also, with an attendance of over 100, A reading room has also been opened there two evenings in the week. A new Mission hae been begun by St. Matthew's Church in Verdun, where many lots are being sold and houses buiit. A service is rarried on every Sabbath evening and a Sabbath School. A large, valuable lot hwit been purchased, and a temporary Church will soon be erected on it. PRESBYTERY OF GLENGARRY. At East Lancaste; the field became self-supporting, and contributed up to January 1st, 1897, ?589 rash towards building a Church, and has now the material on hand. Vankleek Hill congregation expended on two Stations in its vicinity and under its care the sum of $765 <'or building a Church, and $;i54 for Student supply. Total, $1,119. PRESBYTERY OF LANARK AND RENFREW. The Mission field of this Presbytery consists at present of two distinct parts. There is that which is within the bounds of the Presbytery, and also the large fiefS beyond its bounds, which is being wrought in the general interests of the Church, because for the present there is no one else likely to take it up. As regards the field within our bounds, the work is well consolidated and progressive. 6 Kpjinvillf hits hocn ii'fiDsfcncd lo ilic AiiKnuMitaiioii list.

At Murchlson llu' (livisi(Uiai i)oiiit of the railway has been localeii. and .'i village is springing up. There are two out Stations besides, ••ind Rev .1. .\.

The Park headquarters are here. (Jilmour's large s.aw mill, '^xUfl furtlier west other mills are about to be built. 2. On Lake Temiscamingue there are two fields: — (1) Kljipewa, ;it the lower end of the lakes, and serving also the Kippew.i District. There are two or three regultir i)ri'aching j)l;ues, and much journeying amongst scattered families. (2) Haleybury. Leskeard ;ind Uais des Peres, at tlie upper end id" the lake, where is a large tract of fertile land. Mr. l-^indlay. the Superintendent of Missions, visited this field and urged the sending of an Ordained Missionary, whith h;is been done. He has a large district, said to be rapidly filling up; two Churches are pro- jected. Mr. Ciarton. an old employee of the H. R. Co., has left us a bequesT of $2. ,",1)0 for this Mission. S() much otitside work, and at such a dist.-ince, takes the resources ami energies of the Presbytery, and hence arose the proposition for the erection of a new Pres- bytery, under which there might be more aggressive work; at the same time it has to he borne in mind that this vast Mission fielil is a magnificent source of hi .iltiiful spirittial exercise for the present Presbytery. PRESBYTERY OF OTTAWA. The work in this Presbytery has been carried on vvith vigour rtuving the year. Most of the fields now enjoy the services of Ordained Mission.-iries. Exc(dlent service h;is been rendered: In Aylwin. by Rev. .Tas. Taylor: in T")esert and Baskatong. by Rev. Narciss(> McLaren: in Eardly and Onslow, by Rev. H. T. Kalem: in Plantagenet, by Rev. W. W. Hardle: in Ciisselm.an and Soutli Iridlan. by Rev. H. McLean. Bearbi'ook .and Navan was acceptably sttpplied by Rev. D. .T. Scott during the summer, and Rev. A S.

An excellent work was done in Ci'ntley by our Student Mission.-iry. where la members were added to the roll. A stii) more extensive b'essing followed the labours of our Missionary in Portland, Mr. T. r. -"ser, where 45 were added, and the pt-opk' so awakened llial thfy have kept up services themselves for the greater part (if the winter. Rev. T. W. Winfield has oeeui)ied with mueh acc-ptanee the CJlebe Mission under direction of Session of St. Andrew's Church, hochaber was occupied during the summer by the Students' Missionary Society of Montreal. PRESBYTERY OF P) ''<"ViLLE. Home Mission work within the bounds o: th L'resbytery is still confined to one field of four Stations: — Morton. Lyndl •ft, iifornia and Ellisville. Work was reguliirly carried on throughout the • ir "ith encouraging success. Duriig the summer Mr. A. D. Mclntyre, a Studi^nt ( iU'cn's. labored with much accept- ance; and for the winter months the sn- nly of the field was in the hands of the Queen's Colleg<' Students' Mission.-iry ■ ^iOv.atlon. Sabbath School work and week evening services ar(> held at various points, and the means of grace are ap- preciated. Beyond this there is nothing special to report. PRESBYTERY OF KINGSTON. Fifteen of the seventeen Mission fields within the bounds were supplied all laiit winter. In thirteen of these the supidy was continuous during the year end- ing with March last. Two Mission fields, Tweed and Fuller, and Zion Church. Kingston, were trans- ferred to the list of aid-receiving congregations, and the Ordained Missionaries, Rev. D. M. Martin and Rev. .1. U. Boyd, who had served them so well, were cjilled by the people, .and inducted to their respective charges by the Presbytery. hi the removal by de;ith of the Rev. Geo. Porteons. for over three years Ordained Missicuiary at L'Amable. etc.. the Church lost a conscientious, earnest, and S(df-denying Minister. There are seven important districts in charge of Ordained Missionaries, four of whiun were appointed in October last. These are: — The Rev. Dr. Begg, ;it Consecon and Hillior: the Rev. A. McKenzie, at Sharbot Lake, etc.; the Rev. D. M. .Tamieson, at Mataw;itchan and GrifFith. and the Rev. G. Shore, at Portsmouth and Collins Bay. In each of these fields the prospects are reported goning spiritual interest being manifested among the people. Our Missionary in the Poland district now occupies a comfortable manse recently erected. New Churches have been built at Coe Hill (Thanet district), and Marmora (Rev. G. L. .Johnstone, O. M.). Arrangements are being made to build a (Miurch ;it Ompah, in the Wilbur district (E. Turkington, Student, in charge for a year). It is expected the building will be ready before the end of summer. Queen's College Missionary Association supplied four Mission fields during the winter. As usual, members of Presbytery visited the fields and administered the f: 8 SilcranufUlH <>f tht- IxjiU's Supper und Unptisin, unci lavoialjlo n-ports were glveu ol a general lucreaso In membership, and of good work btlng done. PRESUYTEUY OF i'ETERUOROlIUlI. Chandos and burldgh.— Mr. R. F. Hall laboured in this (idd during the sum- mer months with grout accoptanco and hucccss. At the rwiuest of the people be has been sent back for the next six months. Rev. J. McEwen supplied tho Station^ for nine Sabbaths In the autumn, and did cxcellcni work. It Is probable thai a small Ch.irch will be erected at Apsl<>y shortly. Harvey.— Rev. D. D. .lamieson completed his two years' engagement as Ordained Missionary In this field last October. Since then Mr. .1. MrKnight has supplied the Stations, and will continue In charge until the autumn. CardilY.— Mr. T. Osward was the Student Missionary al Cardiff, from April to October of last year. He preached i-.c several different places, having conducted services In a new union school hoiise near Wilborforce Railway Station. PRESBYTERY OF LINDSAY. We have throe Mission fields in this Presbytery: — (1) Coboconk and Kinr^.oiint. (2) Mlnden and Haliburton. (3) Sebright and Uphill. During the year there has be(>n a change of Missionary in all the fields. The Rev. Jas. McEwen begins his work at Coboconk and Kinmount with promise, and is sanguine if success. Mlnden and Haliburton are In charge of the Rev. Jacob Steele, B.A., whose earnestness and devotion cannot but realize fruit. A Student Catechist is in charge of Sebright and Uphill. These are all old fields, suffering from the constant exodus of the younger members, making it difflcult for us to hold our own. We are hopeful of the pre- sent staff on the field. PRESBYTERY OF ORANGEVILLE. There are two small Stations in connection with the Grand Valley congrega- tion. Services have been held in them during the past winter, but there has been no organization as yet, and it is possible that the prospects may not justify organization in the future. The work is now carried on in connection with the Grand Valley congregation, from which they secure support. During the past year one hundred and sixty dollars ($160) were expended by the congregaiion in the work. I know of no other Home Mission expenditure within the Presbytitry. PRESBYTERY OF BARRIE. 1. Ardtrea, Gray Church, Severn Bridge. — The reference to these Stations laat year was not encouraging. There is cause for thankfulness in the report to be now given. During the past wint(>r the field has been under the charge of Mr. A. E. Thompson, whose labours appear to have been attended with much blessing, and may therefore justify a longer notice than is usually given in these notes. On March 3rd Mr. Thompson wrote, " We are in the midst of a series of evange- listic meetings at Severn Bridge. Without any excitement the meetings are crowded, and the enquiry room always has one to fifteen every evening. We hope 9 to we Severn a very different place. Many have accepted Christ already. . . . At Ardtrea we are working away in spite of opposition, and Ood la blessing us there." The Rev. Dr. Gray, Modt-rator of ScsbIou of these Stations, wrote on .March 29th, "On the 2\bi February last I dispensed the Communion at Ardtrea. Four new communicants were admltttd on profesiion, and 1 noticed a c'>n8lderable iiiiI)rovement in the people. The Rev. G. Grant dispensed the Communion at Stvern Bridge on thf 21st March. Thirty-six communlcantB were admitted by piofesslun, and one by certificate, in a i)lace where our cause was very low. Yesterday I dispensed the Communion at Gray Church. Ten communicants were admitted, six by certificate, and four by profession. In four months under Mr. Thompson's labours fifty-one new mcmbfrs have bi-en admitted, of whom forty- four were by profession, and seven by certificate. There has also been a consid- erable increase in the attendance, and a deep interest aroused throughout the Mission district." Mr. Thompson has been reappointed for the summer. 2. Washago, St. David's, Black River.— These Stations are weak. They wore supplied last summer by the Students' Missionary Society, and received fortniglitly supply during winter. 3. Medonte, including Moonstone, Victoria Harbour, and Vasey. — These Stations art' still doing well under Mr. G. I. Craw. The Presbytery was able to reduce the grant by the sum of twenty-five dollars last year, and the same sum for the piesent year. It is hoped that they will be able to give a call in about six months. 4. Waubaushene, Fesserton, Coldwater. — Will be visited during summer with ihe view of inducing th» .,. to become a pastoral charge, and call a Minister. 5. Wyevale, Gibson. Van Vlack.— It is hoped that they will be in circum- stances to becoiiie a settled charge. 0. Minesing, Midhurst, Edenvale. — Mr. W. E. Wallace's engagement as Ordained Missionary will terminate in October. 7. Banks, Gibraltar and St. Andrew's Church. — Are now removed from the list of Mission Stations. Mr. I. Lindsay, Licentiate, accepted a call, and was inducted to the charge on 29th December last. It is well known in the Church, that the Rev. Professor John Campbell, of the Montreal Presbyterian College, has for years spent the summer in his residence on one of the Muskoka Lakes, and conducted divine service, which was attended not only by his family and guests, but by other summer visitors. He has also given aid to the Home Mission work of the Church by preaching and administering ordinances in the Mission Stations when required. In September last the Pres- bytery resolv d to acquaint him of its thankful appreciation of the part taken by ' irn in our Home Mission work. PRE.^iBYTERY OF BARRIE. (Communicated by Rev. A. Findlay). The progress in the northern portion of this Presbytery — in Mu koka and Parry Sound— though not all that might have been desired, yet considering the depression of business in almost every department, is as great as might be ex- pected under existing circumstances.

PRESHVTFRY OF OWEN SOUND. Little change has been' made in the Mission fields since last report. The con- tinued agricultural depression has hindered progress in the direction of sclf- sujiport. 'I'hree fields are supplied by Ordained Missionaries, and one liy a Student. A few years ago nine Students wert> required for the Missions of the Piesbytery. Five have been r;iised to the st;itus of augmented or self-.'^ustainiug pastoral charges. PRESBYTERY OF SAUGEEN. During Ihe past ye.ar the ^Mission work of the Saugeen Presbytei-y has passed through a number of changes. Two of the fields have been rearranged, the dis- tance between Stations reduced, and the work of the Missionary made more efi'eclive. 1.

PRIOSHY'IIOKY OF (ilKLIMl. In this Presbytery Mr. Henry Kiiox. who was Ordaiii'd MisHloiuiry in St. Andiew'H Chureh, Hawkesvillo and Llnwood, died suddenly on the last day ot I'ebriiary of the current year. The two Stations are at present supplied by Mr. S. CunninKh.am, a Kraduate Student of Kno.v ("idleKc, but who had been pro.seculinK Ills studies Utv the Ministry in Scollaiul before comliiK to Canada. The SLution of Livingston C'liurch. Maden. which bad been organized and car- ried on for some time by the Presbytery of Paris, was, at the retpiest of the peoide themselves, and the consent of that Presbytery, received by the* I'ri'sbytery of (hielph, subject to the sanction of the Synod of Hamilton and London. Thi.- .Hiinction was gr.inted by that Court at its lueetinK in Paris on the L'dih .\i)rll last. No change has taken place In the circumstances of Knox Churcli, Dracon, and .Metz They were supi)lied during the winter by Students from Knox College, and one of its Students is stationed there for the summer. Kden Mills still enjoys the ministry of Mr. Strachun of Itockwood. .ind Clale Clniich, I'^lmira, that of Mr. Hamilton of Winlerbourne. There is little, if any, opportunity of extending Mission work in the bounds o( III is I'resbylery. PRESHYTERY OF ALGOMA. ( Tn this widely extended Missionary Presbytery it is found very ditlicull. in- deed impossible, to overtake fully all the Mission work which needs to be done, not because of want (d' men to do the work, but because of want of sufficient means to supixirt them. The general depression and scarcity of money, which affected our work severcdy a year ago, have continued throughout another year, and the result has been that many fields have been unable to raise the jimounts ' xpected of them toward the salaries of their Missionaries. This fact, together ith the straitened condition of the Home Mission fund, has led to some retrench- ment in the work, which, however, it is hoi)ed, may be only temi)orary. For example, the fisliermen on the Duck Islands earnestly desired to liave a Mission- iiry sent to theni for the present summer, but for lack of funds their refpiesi had to be declined. They have therefore n() sui)ply of leilgious service fi-om aii.^ denomination. Two fields .-ilso which had been wront^ht formerly by ihe Students' Missionary Society, h.-id to be left this year without supply for the same reason. 'I'hese fields are Mills, on the Manitoulin Island, and Whltefl.sh. n the " Soo " liranch of the C. P. R. There are connected wflh these two fields eight preaching Stations. Another field, that of Chapleau, has h.-id no Missionary of the Presby- terian Chureh appointed to it since last October, the Presbyterian element there lieing comparativ(dy small, whlh' the place Is regularly sui>plled by an Ordained Ministi'i- of ilif -V'ellioUist Chmcb, and aii Ordained Ministrr of the Church o£ England. In all the fields that were occupied faithful work was done by the Mission- aries, and in many instances it was very hard and laborious work. The ordiaances. Were dispensed in nearly all the Stations, and many additions were made to the membership of the Church. Details of the different Mission fields need not be given here, as the Superintendent of Missions will report fully concerning tht-m. PRESBYTERY OF ALGOMA. (Communicated by Rev. A. Findlay). 1st. The season just closed has been the must discouraging through which, our work has passed since the organization of the Presbytery. The chief cause of this has been the almost utter failure of the lumber business during the winter, as well as the uncertainty connected with the pulp-wood trade. The larger por- tion of this product, like the saw-logs, finds its market on the American side of the lines. The practical lesult is, that those engaged in it have no certainty as to when or whether they shall be paid for their labour. In two of tho fields which have received appointments of Ordained Mission- aries during the past year there are signs of decided advancement. On the Day Mills field, to which Mr. Garrioch was appointed a year ago, they are this seabon erecting a manse for his use. At Tarbutt the old Church has become too small for the accommodation of ilie increasing congregation under Mr. Hartley, At Spanish Station they are building a Church this year, the first to he erected in this little village. Webbwood, till recently a Mission Station, but now on the list of Augumented congregations, provided a manse for the use of their pastor during, the past season. At Irwins, a Station on St. Joseph's Island, a Church will be pushed" forward with the opening of the season. At other points, in this widely scattered field, Churches would be under way this season but for the scarcity of funds. There is a general expectation, however, that business will revive with the opening of the season. Mining operations, judging by the number of new com- panies which are being formed, will be an important industry in the near future. This will mean the circulation of more money among the people, which will help on the cause not a little. 2nd. In spite of the financial difficulties by which they are beset, the Stati ms and congregations in this Presbytery show a very lively Interest in the work, both among themselves and in the Church at large. There was expended by them on Church and manse building the sum of $1,517.00, and they received out of the building fund, not included in the above, 1230.00. Their contributions to the Schemes up to date are: Home Missions, ?533.70; Augumentation, $]fi2..'^0; other schemes, $72.46; making a total of $768.46. The total amount from all sources during the year is $1,276.67, of which $939.63- is for the Home Mission fund, and $230.48 for Augmentation. ^ 13 PRESBYTERY OF HAMILTON. This Presbytery has practically no Mission Stations. i^v:\castt'r is the only one oil the list, and it will probably be removed in the autumn '>v connection with another field. PRESBYTERY OF PARIS. The Mission Station at Baden, where a very neat Church building has been trocted, has been transferred to the Presbytery of Guelph. Alborton and Onou- d;iga, formerly a regular charge, but wrought for the past two years as united Mission Stations, have been separated at the last meeting of Synod, Albertou being transferred from the Paris Presbytery to that of Hamilton, with a view to its being united with Ancaster. During the year a neat Mission Church has b"^ en erected in West Brantford, chiefly by the members of Zion Church, by wht.m if is .sustained, as is also St. Andrew's Mission, in another part of the City. PRESBYTERY OF LONDON. The Mission in North Ekfrid has made substantial progress during the past year. The last instalment of the Church debt has been paid off, and the con- gregation owns a very nice little Church, with splendid Church sheds, free of debt. We hope for enlargement in liberality and every other Christian grace. All of this will take time and patient effort. Mr. .lamieson, of Montreal College, did good work last summer. Mr. J. C. Bain, Catechist, followed this up in the winter This summer Mr. A. G. Sinclair. B.A., of Knox College, is on the field by appoint- ment of the Home Mission Committee. The Missions in London have made substantial progress also, Pottersburg and North London under Rev. Mr. Gilniore, and Waterloo Street Mission under Rev. Mr. Moffat, Licentiates. The latter Mission has been fully organized, and will likely be transferred to the Augmented list this year. Both of these Missions have been wholly sustained by the London Churches. PRESBYTERY OF CHATHAM. Harrow has made substantial progress in paying indebtedness on iheir Church and other buildings. Price has paid two hundred dollars on sheds, and some balance on the manse, during the past ye;ir. Bentpath is increasing in numbers, and raising more money for ordinary <'X|)enses. Morpeth is preparing (o build a Church at Scotland, and also arranging for a place of worship of their own in their own village. Buxton is holding its own, and has the prospect of opening a new field tliis summer. PRESBYTERY OF SARNIA. Till recently there were three Mission fields in this Presbytery: 1. Duthil and Sombra. 2. Marthaville. 3. The Inwood field. Recently the Presbytery united into one field Inwood and Martheville. Should the working of the united field be found to be practicable It is expected that in about a year it will be put on thp Augumented list as a regular congregation. u ■Juthil .'ind SomljiH are worked during the suinnur, with the consent of Pn'sby 'eiy, by the Missionary Society of the Presbyterian CuHege, Montreal. Three weak eongrega lions have been for some time worked as Mission rdda, without expense to the Home Mission Comniitte*' or Augmentation Committee.

Stciidily the (.fntrr of infliiciue aiul ot iiiifiest in Ciin;nl;i niovos westward. A.-i the development of the cimniry proceeds, and its resources in liiiraK-r. Hsh n ie.H, agriculture and minerals jirc more fully discovered .'ind devcloix'd, the niiention of capitalists is he-ing more and more concentrated upon Western (':inada Whilr this is true of the West as a whole, it is especially true of the I'lovince of I'.ritish ("idumbii', ,.nd of the Districts of Dauphin and ihi' Rainy Kiver. A Province ihal can f^xport over one million tons of coal, proiluce lumber '() ;he extent of eighty or ninety million feet, aJid fish to the value of iie.-irly five llions of doll:irs, export gold and silver to the value of over nine millions of ..'liars, is bound, sooner oi' later, to make an impression upon the commercial \v( rid. and to arrest the attention of capitalists and induce them to iiuesi their money. The improvement in mining methods, .•mil the introduction of new ma- ' hinery. will add greatly to the output and to the profit of the lir'itish ("olunibia mines. The old mining district of Cariboo, which has produced sixty millions of il mines were working, it is expected that ?A) io ."'> paying mines will be at work next year. It is (Mfficult to write sanely .ibout this m;irvellous land, the discoveries in miner;ils are in places so rich and are dis- tributed over so vast an extent of country. In the Rainy River District, too, the mining development has reached large dimensions. Th«> whole country is dotted with mines in vjnious stages of progress, from those paying large dividends to those swallowing large investments, develop- ing camps and prospecting outfits, ;;nd the opinion is steadily growing that in this liistrict the future of mining is assured. In the Dauphin country the development is in the lim- of agriculture, dairying, and cattle raising, and, while there is not the fever of excitement attending upon ficdd discovery and mine development, there are v»'ry good prospects of successful and jirosperous settlements being established. Large contingents of farmers are entering the country, and settlements are being established, composed entirely of fnimers from Nova Scotia and Ontaj-io. These l.iiter come well furnished and with ri))e experience, and, under their han^''ial success, there are reported, a theatre comique (a base play-house), 'JO u> 2.j «uoons, 22 houses of ill- fame, besides gambling dens and every low p!;;co of vcsort — this in a town with a population of .about 1,000. Another Missionary repoi!:* the Sabbath given up to horse-racing, and to traffic in liquor. In another cair '''1,000 were taken over the bar of a single saloon in one week. What this rai uus oi ,y the initiated can realize. Public opinion has nothing to say against the deseci-aaoa of the Sabbath either by work or by sports; -'ipports gambling as a K'gitjiraaie amusement, and winks at the enormous ev.: M" prostitution. The sins -f Sabbath-bieakiug, gambling. (Iriiinkenness and prottiL'itii 'i -e everywhere prevalent throughout British Columbia, and (...stitni' ;, ;n(i:-,i -rious menace, ncc only to the spirituality, but even to the morality and uee.ucy of the people, and conseqt;ontly to the perm.a- nenco of the institutions of civilization. At the same Mme, it is fair to say, and it is cheering to note, that in every mining camp there are to be found those who, in spite of their depressing surroundings, are maintaining, with heroic faith and courage, their Christian principles and Christian life. In every mining town there is a nucleus to be found ready to gather about and to uphold and stronghen the hands of itny man who has the cour.age to represent anmng them the principles of onr holy religion, '("here is much that the Church should be thankful for in regard to the newer West, but far more to give her serious concern. We are apt to think that Canada is safe from the desolation wrought upon other countnies, near us and far away, by these evils now working 4n British Columbia. But it is folly to close our eyes to the fact that the spiritual and moral future of British Columbia is in serious- danger, and that the final triumph of Christianity is still problemiitlcal. The work of the Church h;is bt^en attended this past ye.ar with many signs o; eiic.>uragement. New Stations h.avo been opened up. older Missions have been advanced a stage, and others have been consolid.ated into self-supporting chjirges. Th'- respont.e to Missionary wnrk in western communities, and especially in Britisli 17 % t'olumhi;! fieklK, h;iH been in many ciises niarvcUcMis. ll is grateful to Ihinl; of tlie work being done by our ^Missionaries in llicir various si)licres of lal)our. One Missionary ii'ports tlui; he has l)een able to put. down riabbaih liorse-raeing. Another was instrnnienial in bn'.ilving u|) a gambling organization in a little town in southern Manitoba, and to effectually stop gambling operations in the town. At another point a saloon-keeper was prevented from obtaining a, liciuor license at a village on the Canadian Paeific Railway, where over 200 car-loads of wheat were shipped. The advantage to the young farmer lads, in removing this lemptation, can be ejiwily understood. On tlu" other hand, tlu' Missionary is often ;i comfort and a help to the young and to tiie old. their friend in sickness, their gtiide in perplexity, and their inspiration to goodness. Here are some notes from MLssionary letters: — " I visiited an old Christian woman, who was dying. Slie was 8(i years old; she had not seen a Missionary for months. Her joy in welcoming ;i Missiouiiry to her bedsride seemed to me sufficient return for all the expenses of this Mi,-sion." Another writes: — " 1 came across a deaf mute, who, though living in a Christian country, knew nothing of even the rutMments of our Christian t'ailh. 1 instructed him from lime to time, and had the joy of seeing him r.ccepting Christ as his Saviour. A man .and his wife, who had Ix-conie canle.ss and indifferent to all the claims of religion, over the grave of their only chibl. came back again to their f.aith." Another reports his joy at seeing tin oid couple of over 7>> ye.ars of age partake of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper for the first time. In one little Station 14 new m(>mbers were received into the Church, and 1 was lianiled cluirch lines from one man that were received 8 years ago. In the overtaking of their work, our Missionaries are exposed in mauy cases to danger, and in all cases to hardship. Long distances ;ir>.- k.- oe f.nivelleil iu order that appointments may be kept. Storms are to be encoutitered, cold to be enrlured. One Missionary tells of how he ha<' to trav»d 30 miles to a me^ iug in a school- house in a new district in British Columbia.

It is trno that (he development of the west has not been as rapid as westi'rii cntlnisiaKts desire, still the lime has not been lost. It has been established Ix'.vond any doubt that intelligi'iit and patient in- dustry can plant upon the prairies homes of easy comfort; that the cMmnte, though tindoubtedly vigoruis, is conducive to vigorous health, and that the people can appreciate and make fiiU use of the pnvileg*' of the highest education and culture where these are offered. The resources of the west in mim-ral wealth, just now b«'ginning to be develoiwd, together with those in fisheries, lumber, and .agricul- ture, thiit have long been known, lend assurance to the conviction that Western Canada will hold ere long a very Large population. This poi)ulation, drawn as it is from th<> vigorous stocks of Northern Kurope, cannot fail to do for America what these nations have done for Europe. Hut tlure are circumstances that make the present opportunity one especially for the Presbyteiian Church. 'TIh' population is largely from Scottish and Nortli of Ireland stock, and Pres- byterian in belief. And .as in every land the 'influenc<> of the Pn-sbyterian element is not to be determined by numbers. Three of the Superior Court .ludges in Win- nijifg were reared in Presbytcrijin homes, two are sons of the manse. Four of the five Ministers of the Crown ar<> Presbyterians, and about half of the Legislature. The same is true of the Legislature of the Territories. In the management of the great commercial enterprises, in things educational, social, and professional, Pri'sbyterians hold the Ie,ad captain in a mine, ten chances in one has in him blood from Scotland or the north of I'*eland. These people are going to make the West. The Church has to say what tlui shall make it. work it the U(i a new 10 ll( THE CHURCH AND MANSK FIND. The General Assembly started a Building Fund fourteen years ago to enable new and ;1 .'Stitute districts to erect Churches and manses. When the, Board placed in charge of this work began its operations, there were only eighte<'n Presbyterian ChurcheiS iind three mans«'s in the whole western country. During these fourteen years the Board has assisted in erecting 269 Churches and 56 manses or 325 bt;irdings, in all valued at nearly half-a-million of dollars. Although only one- fifth of the capital entrusted to the Board has been expended in manses, the money saved in rent by those manses would yield a return of 9 per cent, on all the capital the Board ever controlled. The Fund, however, is most inadequate, and unless larger help is forthcoming our work must be seriously hindered. A few facts will suggest the need. A mining village is visited. The Missionary looks round for a place where service can be held on Siibl)ath. There 'is no hall, schoolhouse, or other suitable place in the village. At last the use of a butcher's shop in course of <'rection is promis<'ntei"^ appear in good time, though they agree lo confine (hemfw-lves to .10 \\(.i l>iii|-' on llic outside oi' the building till ih<' st'i'vicr is over.

As might have l)een expected, the largest measure of progress within the bounds of the Synod has taken place in the Kaniloops. Two Mission fields, Vernon and Spallumchecn, have b(^en transferred to the list of Augmented charges; two others, Nelson and Rossland, have become self- sustaining, while several fields, which we-e only opened during the past year, are likely, within a short time, to ask for the status of Augumented congregations.

ROBERTSON'S VISIT TO THE JmiTISH CHURCHES. .At the request of the Home Mission Committee, as intimated to last General .Assembly, and with its authority, to present to tlie British Churches the claims of Ihe North-West and British Columbia, Dr. Robertson left Canada end of October liisi on his Mission. Since that time he has been constantly engaged in preaching and addressing congregations and meetings on Sabb.-ith days and week days, meeting with the Convt nets of the various Cidoniai Committees, and appearing l)efor(> Synods and General Assemblies in behalf of onr work. Dr. Robertson's letters to the Convener, show how indefatigably he has persevered in his advocacy of North-West Missions, often in the face of obstacles that would have discouraged ;i less courageous and zealous deputy. Thiit he received a cordial welcome from Ihe officials, tlie leading clergymen and brethren in the several Churches, need iiiirdly be said, aithongh in many cases, where he expected large and continuous contributions lor a period of years, his expectations here not realized. Then- are still to be found among the Churches in Britain, not a few, who do not realize the vastness of our Home Mission Territory, nor the claims which the Canadian Church has ui)on the Presbyterians in the mother-land There are others, who in view of our progress iis a Church during the past 25 years, and our liberality in other directions, cannot understand why we should need help at all. And there are large and wealthy congregations, who because of pressing obligations connected with Church l)uilding, or Schemes towards the support of which their .Missionary contributions are pledged for years, are unable to assist us. In addition 10 this, there were last year, as indeed there are almost every year in Great Urilain, Ministers of our Church, i)leiiding for special contributions in aid of individual Churches, or Missions. These, it is presumed, have the endorsation of Presbyteries in some cases, in others they have not. In the opinion of your Com- mittee, appeals of this kind should not be counten.-inced by the General Assembly, nor continued. Whether the response is much or little, they detract attention from the great Homo Mission work of the Church, in whose interests we are endeavor- ing lo enlist the sympailiies ;ind litjerality of the British Churches.

In order to enlist the sympathies and call forth the liberality of the Young People's Societies in si)ocial fields, letters have been sent to several of them, of which thi' following m:iy be taken as a specimen: — Please notify ymir Y. P. H. M. Society, that the field selected this year for their special pray(>rs and fhiancial Rui)port is the mission to the Mormon Setilement in Alberta. Rev. Gavin Hamilton, a man of experience, has been appointed to the field. Between saljiry and expenses, about $1,000 will be required this year. It is hopod that by making an extra effort, the H. M. Societies of London Presbyte''y will be able to relieve the H. M. Fund of the greater i)ortion of this, if not the whole. With incr(>ased contributions from all the Societies the work can be done. Glencoo promises $100. The Convener will be glad to hear from Societies what they hope to do.

From this sourci- iind Irom one Woman's Home Missionary Society about |250 has been given to Home Missions. A IMesbyterlal Auxiliary in the interests of Home Missions is now being formed. PRESBYTERY OF MONTREAL. Professor Ross, the Presbytery's representative at the Home Mission Com- mittee, writes: — " I am not aware that a single Society exls.s In the Presbytery. I have had no opportunity of finding out. I shall make a fuller report of this and cognate matters next year." PRESBYTERY OF LANARK AND RENFREW. A Prosbyterial Young People's Home Missionary Society has been in exist- ence now for a number of years, and is doing good educative as well as practical work in the way of contributions. Home Mission Societies or afflilnted C. E. Societies exist in nearly all our congregati(ms and Mission Stations, and it is hoped that very soon all will associate with the Presbyterlal t^ociety. An interesting Annual Meeting was held in tho month of February in connection with the Presbytery, and part of one even- ing was devoted to conference on the subject. Honest, faithful work will bring the desired fruitage. A considerable amoimt over $2,000 was contributed by the Societies, and more is expected next year. PRESBYTERY OF KINGSTON. So far as repcts have come in, there are no distinctively Young People's Missionary Associations; but four of the Young People's Societies contributed lo Home Missions, and these four have altogether contributed one hundred and forty-six dollars for that purpose. A Presbyterlal Young People's Union has not yet l)een organized. A convention of our Societies was held some short time ago, when sucu a uniim was proposed, but it was out-voted. Instructions WH»re given to arrange for another convention at as early a date as convenient, when it is hoped such a union will be formed. PRESBYTERY OF WHITBY. We have a Presbyteri.il union of Young People's Societies, in which nearly nil our congregations are represented. An annual convention is held under the auspices of the Presbytery. These conventions have proved very helpful. The young people thus united are specially interested in the Home Mission work at fJlenora, in the North-West, and have this year, through Dr. Warden, sent one hundred .•aid twenty-five dollars to that Held.

Swansea has been connected with Fern Avenue, and is now under the pastoral care of Rev. R. C. Tibb. This arra»igenient gives good satisfaction. Kew Beach is now under the cnre of Rev. Mr. I'Hhune and is prospering. Malton has been disjoined from Dixie and Port Credit, and is now supplied by a Student with excellent prospects. Fairbank and Fisherville. — This field has made decided progress under the vigorous work of Mr. Adams. Chester is supplied by a Student, and there is hope of larger increase in numberL'. There are a few of such Societies within the Presbytery, but in the great majority of congregations Christian Endeavor Societies are in existence. Most of them have contributed to Home Missions. The view prevailed in the Presbytery that it is better to encourage our young people to give in the reg\ilar way to the Schemes of our own Church — paying all moneys through the Treasurer of the Church. A Presbyterial union was formed a year ago. PRESBYTERY OF BRUCE. Salem, Gillies Hill and Sabbinton is still an assisted Mission field. The grant is a small one, only one dollar per week. It has been continuously supplied during the past year. There is as yet but one Church (Salem). Should the Mission conlinue to hold services every Sabbath in the three places, they will require two other Churches. We think the friends at Gillies Hill should at once begin to build. Considering the partial failure of crops, owing to the grasshopper plague, and the unprecedentedly low price for all kinds of farm produce this year, we make every allowance for them, fully confident that this field will give a good account of itself in the near future. PRESBYTERY OF BARRIE. The statistical reports show that there are fifty-two Young People's Societies,, that $265 were contributed by them for Home Mission fund. A Presbyterial union of these Societies has been formed. PRESBYTERY' OF OWEN SOUND. There are twenty-three Young People's Societies in the bounds of the Presby- tery. They are vU organized into a Presbyterial federation. It includes Young People's Societies, Home Mission Societies, and Christian Endeavor Societiep. They have undertaken to riiise at least the sum of $150 per annum for Home Mission I)urposes, and h.'ive taken the Indian Peninsula field under their c:ire. Their con- tributions are sent through the Genernl Assembly's Home Mission Committtee. Sdcfetit's are left free to contribute to other Schemes, and some of them are doing so. w •..It I PUKSI5YTEKY OF SAICJEEN. Young People's Missionary Associations aro now in operation in almost all tlic congregations of the Saiigo-n Presbytery. These are earnestly urged to ^\ip- port the Missionary Schemes of our Church. Last year $2<;ri was 'ontriliulcd to iionie. Foreign, Augmentation and French Missions. Several of the above Asso- riafions are Christian Endeavor Societies, but have fallen into line with the new methods of the Yo>ing People's Association. A Prcsbyterial union was formed recently by the Presbytery, and will hold its first meeting in July. We hope to see better work accomplished, and more money raised next year. PRESBYTERY OF A LOOM A. Young People's Societies of Christian Endeavor have during the past year been formed at White Lake. Little Current, Manltowaning, and probably at one or two other places which have not reported. There is no Presbyterial union of such Socii'ties. The amounts, If any, given to Home Missions have not been reported. PRESBYTERY OF PARIS. There are Young People's Societies in nearly every congregation in the Pres- bytery, that give to Home Missions and the other Schemes of the Ch\irch. A Presbyterial union has also been formed, which holds an Annual Meeting under the sanction and with the assistance of the PresbyK'ry, PRESBYTERY OF LONDON. There Is a Young People's Home Missionary Presbyterial consisting of twenty- xpense. During the Christmas vacation Hillhurst was supplied for three Sundays, and New Richmond for two Sundays. JAMES A. STUART, Secretary. Annual Report of the Stuoent.s' Mis.sionary SotiETV of the Pre.sbvtehian College, Montreal, for 1«9(5. With the year 1896, this Society entered on the twenty-eighth year of its historj . In that time we have been privileged to do useful and honoured work for the Master. During the summer months Students appointed and paid by us have laboured in the Mission fields throughout our country. We have t'lways been inteiested in, and sustained to the extent of our ability, the work of ovaugelination among th(^ Catholic French, and difficult as such work is we rejoice that the m J7 labuur of our MissioH.iries has l)i(.'n jUtendod with ii fair degree uf surccss. I'^oreign wcjrlt in heatlieu lands liiis l)i'i'ii lii-pl proiniufUtly bffore our iiu'iiiljors at oiir regular meetings, and \vc liave made generous donations of our funds to this department of the Church's work. Tlic year just eiosed has not presented any new features in our worli. Our regular fortnightly meetings have bi-en well attended and made interesting by reports of the Soeicly's work, and i)ap('rs on general Missionary toples. No public meetings have beru held during tlic past year, but nearly every field of Mission;iry i-nterprise has been systematically reviewed and discussed In the ordinary nu-et- ings of the Society. Our work has been enlarged since the last Annual Report issued from the press. All our Home Mission fields were again taken up, and tlireo new places were occupied by our Missionaries. Two men went into the new regions along the upper course of the Ottawa, and another laboured under the auspices of our Society in the Presbytery of Saniia. The work, as will be st-cn from the accompanying reports, has been carried on in all our fields with a most encouraging measure of success. At Cacoun;\, and In the country around Lake St. .Tohn, two French Students labouring under our Society encountered the difficulties peculiar to work among the French Catholics; but, as thcdr reports will show, their labours were crowned with the Master's blessing. We have been favoured during the past year by inspiring and most interest- ing addresses from several foreign Missionaries of our Church, who returned to Canada on furlough. The Rev. J. F. Smith, M.D., now of the Central India Mission; Rev. W. J. Jamleson, of Neemuch, and later. Rev. Murdoch Mackenzie, of Honan, the last two being graduates of this College, at different times presented 111? foreign work of the Church to the consideration of the Society. Our finances have kept pace with the enlargement of our work. Our fields have done nobly to sustain the Ordinancef? in their midst, and In nearly every instance have made special contributions to aid the Society in its work. The Student community has responded to the call made upon them In a manner truly generous. Tithing the incom*' is the rule and not the exception now in our College. Owing to the enlargement of our work, our estimate for needed revenue has been Incroas«^d from eight to elev(»n hundred dollars, but from all present indications we will close the financial year clear from debt. We take this oppor- tunrty to thank the congi-egations and Individuals throughout our Church who have so generously support(>d us in the work. They have proved themselves bene- factors to many a neglected part of our Master's vineyard, and many a soul to whom the light would otherwise have been denied, will rise up and bless them for their part in the good work. • TARBOLTON, MANITOBA. Tarbolton is one of the choice fields of Manitoba. Although it does not cover a very wide area, there are connected with the different Stations in it over thirty fnmilies. In all, there are three prejiching points at which service was held each Sabbath. At Tarbolton, the principal one, there is a comfortable Church sufficiently large to accommodate all who are within the bounds of that district. At Brier- wood and Ralphton. the other points, service is held in school houses, which are not so convenient or satisfactory, but which serve the puriwse until Churches arc' bnilt. The difllculty here, as in other places, is that there are two or three denomi- '28 nations all holding servires in tiic on*' i)la('c, and wlulc liicy, as a nilo, attend all Un' sMvicea and show a brotherly disposition towards one anoth«'r iu every way, yet none of them feol able, alon«, to build a Chureh for thenisflvos, although det^iroiiH of doing so. We find in most cases a desire to give liberally for the spiritual advantages received, but as Is always found, some ;iro unable and some are unwilling to make very great sacrifices. Sabbath Schools are held before the service at each of the Stations, and great interest is taken in the study of the lessons. Many capable and earnest teachers have been found to carry on the good work. Communion services were held in August, when eight new nn'mbers were added to the roll, making in all fifty-three. FORT WILLIAM W^EST, ONTARIO. This field is situated in the Presbytery of Superior, and cimsists of three Station'!, Fort William West, Murillo, and Slate River Valley. Service was held at eaci; place every Lord's Day, and the attendance was regular. Fort William West is the site of the original town, which was marked out in the tinu' of the Mackenzie G<^vernment. But the place has suffered severely by the removal of the C. P. R. works t(> Fort William East. A large number of hous. s are unoccupied, and many have been destroyed by fire; all the hotels are closed, and liquor is not sold, prohibition therefore reigns. Our service was well attended by all denominations, as it was the only one held in that part of the town iu tlie evening. The Methodists and Presbytorians held prayer meetings alternately, and tbeir Sabbath Schools are united. The Church was badly in need of repair, and this work was undertaken by the people. The interior of the building was re- novated and put in a comfortable state for the winter. Repairs cost $105.00, and this amount was paid by the congregaion. The sticcess of the work was .greatly duv to the enthusiasm of the young people. Murillo is situated fourte<'n miles west of Fort William, on the eastern boundary of the rugged country which extends west to the prairies. It is a farm- ing country- The silver mines in the vicinity are all closed down for the present. The scenery is good. Not far from Murillo are the Kakabeka Falls, on the Kaministiquia River. At this point the river leaps over a precipice about 110 feet high, and the scenery rivals Niagara in ruggefl be.'iuty. These falls are to ne utilized for the purpose of furnishing electric power for the towns of Fort William and Port Arthur. Chicago capitalists have the project in hand. In this way there Is an opportunity for development, and should the mines open up, everything will become more prosperous in the locality. Service for the first two weeks was held in a school house two and one-half miles from Murillo; but later we moved to Murillo, where we met in the Town Hall, which was kindly placed at our disposal by the Township Council. Service was held here in the morning, and was well attended by all denominations, Catholic as well as Protestant. We were indebted to tlie Royal Templars of Temperance for the use of their organ. A union Y.P.S.C.E. meets weekly. Mr. Alex. McLean donated a site for a Church, and the peopl(> unanimously decided to undertake the erection of a building. For this purpose they have about $75.00 on hand, and Dr. Robertson has promised them aid to the extent of $100. They will get the m;iterial ready this winter to build next summer. State River Valley ia a new district, into which settlers are coming from other parts of Ontario. The mountains surrounding it contain silver, but the valley is nn ml agricultural district. Last year Mr. S MmcLciu vlsiird this \\vU\ nnd Miirillo. .ind drew the attfiition of tlio Society to ilu> needs of tin- pioplc. A new Church w.is opeiied, praclicully free from dobi, this siiiunier. It is huili on a plot oi iwo ;i( res, donated by the executors of the lute Hon. Alex.inder Morris, of Toronto, 'jhe future la a i)ronii8ing one. We were the only denomination holding worshi|) liicro during the greater part of the, summer. About a month ago the Methodists licgan service again. They had held a service there a year ago for some time. i)iii had discontinued it. Your Missionary spent a very pleasant summer in this lieid, and the peopie (lid all in their power to make it as agreeable as possible for hiiu. Dr. lloi)erlsoii \isited the place in July, and was pleased with the appearance of the Mission, roiiiniunion was dispensed once during the summer by the Moderator, Uev. W. L. II. Row.'ind, B.A., of Fort William, and twenty-six persons enrolled themselves as members of thi' Church. MILLS, ONT. This field is situated about the centre of Manltoulin Island, some twelve miles from Gore Bay, and in the Presbytery of Algoma. It consists of four preaching Stations. Burpee, Mills, Brltainville and Long Bay. Manltoulin Island is a beauti- ful place, especially in summer. The quality of the soil is good (what there is of It), but as a rule it is too shallow for agriculture. The settlers have to depend largidy upon lumbering, and their winter's work, as a means of livelihood. They are kind-hearted and obliging, and as far as they can, make it pleasant for the Studfut. Your Missionary would sj)ecially mention the generosity of Mr. John Mackenzie, who so kindly boarded the Missitmary free of charge, and in many ways showed a deep Interest in the work. We held service at Burpee and Mills every Sabbath, beginning May 3rd, and every succeeding Sabbath until September 14th. At Britjiinville and Long Bay we held service every fortnight. The attendance was good at each of the Stations, but remarkably so at Burpee and Long Bay. At Mills we had a Y.P.S.C.E. and mid-week prayer meeting combined. Ix)ng Bay is a resort for tourists during the summer, and Mr. J. K. McDonald, of Toronto, has taken advantage of the situation and built a beautiful summer house quite close to the bay; and he, his family and party made a welcome addition to our already large attendance. The work at Long Bay gave great promise of success. They have already, together with the Presbytery's grant and Mr. Mc- DiUiald's handsome donation, subscribed over four hundred dollars for the erection of a new Church building. At present they hold service in the school house. EAU CLAIRE, ONTARIO. This field is situated in the Upper Ottawa Valley, in the Presbytery of Lanark and Renfrew, and consists of two sections about twelve miles apart. One section is situated ahmg the main line of the C.P.R. and has three preaching Stations, namely, Eau Claire, Amable, DuFond and Rutherglen. Les Erables, the other section of the field, is situated on the Ottawa River, about ten miles from the town of Matlawa. and has only one preaching Station. Service was held at each Station ones a fortnight. The attendance was good, but the work was not as satisfactory as \i would be were it possible to have weekly service. Tho pt'oplf wen' very kind, iiiid wcrr jilways ifiidy lo wcli oiiic ihc Mistiioiiiu.v to their hoiiiCB. They are, for the nioHl part, people who moved west from iho ohhr settled coiigreKatioiis near I'eiiihrokt* iiiid Renfrew since ilif C'.lMi. has bt en huilt; and among them the Missionary found many siauiicli I'resbylerians. wlio, ulthonBh thankful for Bcrvieea during the summer, yet mouru the fact that they an* compellod to ho without any during the winter months. ilOClvLlKFK. ONTARIO. The field assigned to nio by our Missionary Society Is situated in the wi'Sleru part of Renfrew County. Two of the Stations worked are on tho main line of the C.P.R., and the third ou the opposite side of tho Ottawa River, in Quebec. The names of these three Stations are Roekliffe, Maekeys and l)es .loaehims. Service was held in the first two one Sabbath, and in the latti'r the following one. Tho country, as a rule, is largely Roman Catholic, and this fact seems to bind together more closely the few who a»s«'mbled each Lord's Day to worship the one true God in a holier and purer faith. At Des Joachims there is a ntat little Church, free of debt, but many who were once the support of it havi' moved away to other places, and. consequently, leaves it weak numerically and financially. Many of the Roman Catholics attended our services at first after 1 went there, and expressed their desire to go again, but were forbidden by the strictures of their Church. They have no service during the winter mimths in these places, and they look forward with much pleasure to the spring, when they can go and listen again to the plain and simple story of " .lesus and his love." Only those who are deprived of such services really know how to appreciate them. Most of the elderly people are members of some Church. Communion was dispensed by Rev. G. A. W< odside, of Chalk River, during the summer. Preceding the service, three adults, on profession of faith in Christ, were baptized. On the whole, the work was encouraging, and the people very kind. This field cost the Society |107. SOMBRA AND DUTHII.L, ONTARIO. This Mission field is In the Presbytery of Sarnia, and consists of two preach- ing Stations, Sombra and Duthlll. Sombra Village is beautifully situated on the River St. Clair, about twenty miles from tho town of Sarnia, and is rapidly becoming a favorite summer resort for those from inland places who are seeking rest and recreation. The situation is most favorable as far as the temporal prosperity of the people is concerned, for the land throughout the whole township is very fertile, and the crops are usually good; but this place, like many others, is suffering from a super- abundance of Churches, and as a result, our work there suffers with the rest. The number of families belonging to the congregation, as may be seen from the statishcal report. Is but small, yet the worK is in many respects hopeful. During the summer, services were held in the village ever\ fiord's Day. The Sabbath School is now in a prosperous condition, being well attended by many of the chirdren of all the Protestant denominations in the place. The success of this school is due largely to the Christian zeal of two of the women of the congregation. A Bible Class was also started during the summer, in which there was shown some interest; but the lack of a Missionary during the winter seriously hinders -ill the work.

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed by the Moderator of Session, Rev. J. C. McKee, of Brigden. Your Missionary met with the greatest kindness and hospitality at the hands nt (he people, and trusts that when the harvest of the Master is gathered In, there may be some fruit from the labours of the past summer. NORTH EKFRID, ONTARIO. This field is situated due west of London about twenty-five miles, being about midway between London and Glencoe. It is also midway between CJlencoe and Strathroy, and is the only Mission in the London Presbytery. Regular services were first commenced in the field in the spring of IS'Jli, and .sMppcrtcd largely by the Y.P.S.C.E. of Glencoe congregation. Since that time a neat l)rick Church has been built, costing about |1,100, which is now clear of debt, the IftHt payment having been made last summer. Also there are sheds for the accom- modation 0^ horses an^J carriages, almost all the work of which was done voluntarily by the people. There is an organ also in the Church, which is paid for. Your Missionary entered upon his work the first Sabbath of April, 1896, and continued regular services twice each SabtJath for twenty-six Sabbaths. Sabbath School and a weekly prayer m(>eting were held also, which were largely attended. A singing practice was commenced and continued weekly, in which all took a lively Interest, the result of which was a marked improvement in the singing. A Sabbath School plc-nic was held in a beautiful grove near the Church, in which several other schools united, and your Missioimry will not soon forget the pleasant and profitable day spent with the children. Tho Sabbath School is one of the most promising fondon, and, therefore, regular services will bo held during the winter months. Fn the near future this Mission will be united with some neighboring congrega- tion, which would be advisable. Tho amount contributed by the Society for this field was |45.50. r 1 {'\ ./.'

The drend of this event had a very good effect upon the ^ 'lureh attendance, and the women w«'re not satisfied unless they were shriven once a day. The people of He Verte had 8om»» disagreement with M. Langls. the grand vlour, and two Redemptionlst Fathers were sent out to heal the quarrel. Their teaching soiuewhat shocked the good men of lie Verte; especially one statement, that a man is not guilty of theft so long as he does not steal anything worth more than four dollars. If by any accident he should happen to exceed this limit, then he has committed a deadly sin. I understand that the feeling all through Quebec is very bitter against the priests on account of their attempts at coercion during the Dominion elections. The p(>ople have at last begun to think for themselves. They have sot themselves against the teaching of the Catholic clergy in politics, and It may not be long before they reject their religious teaching also. This is not altogether a matter for ccmgratulation, however, for many now look upon all religious instruction with suspicion or disgust, and interpret It. whether Catholic or Protestant, merely as a pretext for exacting money. Many, too, who are con- vinced of the falseness of their own Church, prefer to remain In It. nominally at least, rather than endure the petty prosecution to which they would be subjected if they were to leave it. CHICOUTIMI MISSION, QUEBEC. The Lake St. .John region Is a very important and promising field for Mission work. In accordance with the wish of the Society, I went first to Roberval, which I found occupied by an Episcopal clergyman. As there were only two members of the Presbyterian Church here, I passev.

The Society acknowledges with deepest gratitude tlie Ix'cuu'st of one thousand dollars from the eslale of tho late Uobt. Anderson, of Montreal. I'nder the terms of the will, only the interest of this sum is available in the work of the Society. We thankfully reccu'd this first bequest for our work. THANKS. We gladly express our, thanks to our many friends throughout the Church who manifest so kindly and gononus an Interest in our work. We remember witli particular gratitude those who in our various Missions gave material assistance to our Missionaries. Wo are gratified by the loyal way in which many of our Students have kept the work of tiie ."ociety before !lie congr 'gallons of our Churcli. They wrouglu as they li.-ul opportunity, and did their work well. Wr pray that God, whose work it is. nuiy abundantly bless all wlio particlpjite In if in any way. OUTLOOK FOR THK SIMMER 01' 1SH7. During the past summer tlu- Society supported ten Missionaries in the field, an increase of three over last year. We hope to do even better in tb' coming ye;ir; yet prudence demands that we make i)r()gress slowly. Havinj.; no r(>sorve fund, we dare not go beyond the limit of our revenue We have invited individual congregations to underfiike the support of Mission aries; so far our offer has met with no response. We still promise to provide n field and supply a suitable Missionary to any who may l)p desirous of taking uv this form of Christi.'Ui work.

However we are glad the field has been able to take this step iili\\;;riis. \\ c are pleased to report that Zion Church (foinurly Pine Street Mission) is .still progressing, and last summer vvaa raised to the position Cyf an Augmented lOimregation. Rev. Jno. D. Uoyd, H.A., who has guided the Mission since its origin, was then inducted as pastor. We trust that this good work will continue to prosper and that it will receive from the other Presbyterian Churches of tlie tity the hearty support which it deserves. At tlip last annual meeting of the Association it w;is decid;-d that henceforth i!.s yearly report should be issued in December instead of in Ai)ril. In this way wi'txiiect to bring our work more proniincitly before our friends throughout the Clnirch; and we hope that next year the lueseiit deficit of $89.29 will bo wiped oui. and that the prospect will then justify i,n extension of our work. i'lie following are reports from the ields occupied last summer: - HILTON, ST. JOSEPH'S ISLAND, ALGOMA. Si. .loseph's Island is situated in the upper psft of Lake Huron and has a |M)|iulation of about 2,000. The lumbering industry is giving way to that of fanning and dairying, and the Island is being gradually cleared and settled. Ouring the winter Mr. Steele again conducted services throughout the whole l>l.iii(l, but last spring the Presliytery perm.inently divided the Hilton and iiidi.ird's Landing fields. It thus became necessary to idect elders for the former in onler that it might have a Session to direct its work, but the election and "iiliiiation did not take place until after your Missionary left in the fiill. 1 '. 5 1R- "'mi-^ ■& "^^' 36 Siibbath services were held fortnightly at Tonby Bay and Kaskawan, und weekly at Hilton and Irwin's school. W(>ek-nlght services were conducted roiiu- larly at Irwin's throughout the summer, and once a fortnight for part of the tiiiip at Kaskawan. Your Missionary was received in a very kindly way on his return to take up the work for a second season, and ho found the people ready to ro- operate in furthering both the material and spiritual welfare of the congregation The Sabbath Schools at Hilton and Kaskawan are doing good work, and efforts were made to make them mure efficient by means of better equipment. In iho fall a Sabbath School was organized at Irwin's, and at last accounts it was doing well. The work on the new Church at Kaskawan was carried forward though not quite to completion, and a shelter was erected for the horses of those who drive to service. At Hilton about $50.00 was raised towards paying off the small (]il)r still remaining on the Church property, and a Ladies' Aid was organized and is doing excellent work. At Irwin's there is great need for the erection of a Church as the school house was not large enough to comfortably accommodate the congregation. Tlip Wednesday night services here were very encouraging. The average attendance was about 30, .and a genuine interest was manifested by most of the young people of the congregation. Tenby Bay was somewhat weaker numerically than it was the previous suni- mcr for the n^ason that the work there was shared in by the Anglicans and Free MetTiodists. On the whole your Missionary found the work much more satisfactory than the previous summer, and he would again acknowledge the co-operation and kind- ness of the people of the Hilton field, and in doing so would again make special mention of Mrs. Archibald, whose generosity materially lessened the expense of the field to the Society. After his return from the field last fall your Missionary appealed to the SabTmth School of Knox Church, Dundas, for help towards completing the Kaska- wan Church and received a collection of $33.00. Financial Statement. Total cost of the field $176 00 Amount contributed by the field: — Hilton $46 33 Irwin's 25 24 Total cost to Society $ 85 62 Kaskawan 1 2 00 ; Tenby Bay 6 81 90 38 HARGRAVE, MANITOBA. Hargrave is on the main line of the C.P.R., about fifty miles west of Brandon, and between the towns of Virden and Elkhorn. The village possesses good elevators, stores, and post office; and the farming community about is a good oni', wheat being raised in large quantities. The services were conducted in the gi-'luol housi every Sabbath morning with an attendance of 60. Prayer meeting was In I'l every Thursday evening, attendance 20. A good organ was purchased and paid for during the summer. A singing class has also been successfully carried on fer 'i Sunday during the summer, involving a drive of over thirty miles. At the first two flourishing union Sunday Schools are conducted. There are altogether about twenty-five Presby- trrian families on the field, and about an equal number of families in sympathy Willi the work. The total average attendance at all the appointments was about --". Your Missionary found the work very pleasant, and on the whole satisfactory, and gratefully acknowledges the uniform kindness of the people in all ;jarts of the fielil. On his departure the people of Arrowton made him a handsome cash |irrsf>nt. Financially the field was more than self-sustaining as the following .statement will show: — WELWYN, ASSINIBOIA. Welwyn is situated on the north side of the C.P.R., about 200 miles west of Winnipeg. Very little of this district has been settled more than fourteen years and .some of it quite recently, but the richness of the soil and the Industry of the scuUrs give promise that this field will yet be one of the most flourishing in thfc X'irih-West. The ^^'elw•yn field had been under our Mission.-iry Association for the two prrNidus summers, and thanks to the good work done by your former Missionaries, til'' labour of carrying on the Master's work was greatly lightened. 38 A division was madK in tlie lield as it had been the year before, so tliat Hilburn and Rocanville were no longer included. This division considerably weak- ened the field flnanclallv, but some of the ni-wly adtlod Stations are very promising. Five Stations were supplied, Wclwyn, Ferndalo, Cambridge, Orange ville and New Hastings, service being conducted every Sabbath at Welwyn, iiiul on every alternate Sabbath at each of the other eight Stations. Sablmth Schools and prayer meetings were also carried on de ng the^ summer. Services were well attended and all joined heartily in the worshiii of God. llev. Dr. Robertson paid the field a visit during the summer and gave a very interesting address un Mission work in the West. Communion services were conducted in August by the Rev. .Tohn Redden of Moosomin, when eight adherents, on profession of faith, were admitted as mem- bers of the Church of Christ. Your Missionary wishes to return liis hearty tlianlvs to the people for their ready co-operation in the work and their many kindnesses. Total cost of field |205 05 Amount contributed by field 1T2 00 ? 93 05 BSTEVAN, ASSINIBOIA. Estevan is situated about 300 miles west of Winnipeg, in the south-easteia corner of Assiniboia, on a branch of the C.P.R., about 22 miles from the infr- national boundary. The soil is not very fertile, and, though there is a mine li' ro. there is not much shipping done on account of the inferior quality of the com!. Consequently the outlook for the present is not very promising. This is the first summer that the f..'ld has b(>en worked by the Q. U. M. \. The appointments are Estevan, Dunbar, and Portal. Service was held at earh Station every Sabbath. At Estevan a union Sabbath School was taken charge or by the Public School teacher of the village. We also had a union prayer meeting here every week, conducted alternately by the Methodist Student and your Missionary. The distance travelled every Sabbath in keeping these appointmenls \va.« about 2C miles each way. There was also .some work done along the railroad, i x- tencling almost as far west as Moosejaw. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed the last Sunday in .Tiui'^ by the Rev. T. R. Scott of Oxbow. Your Mission:) ry received every kindness at the hands of the people, and many sympatliized with and aided him in the worl; Total cost of field $258 05 Amount contributed by field Hi 85 Cost to Association |146 20 TRAIL, BRITISH COLUMBIA. Trail, which is now one of the centres of attraction in the district of W'St Kootenay, has just begun its second yeai''s growth. It is sitiuited on the Colum'iia River, about twelve m;'.'s from th(» boundary line of the I'nited Stat<>s, and in a district famous for its "gold mines. Trail hns a population of fifteen hundr d, composed of different nationalities, though the Americans are in the majority. the work w;.s very encouraging. A Sabbath School was conducted entirely by the members. Five miles from this is Iron Bridge, where the services were held in the Orange Hall. Eleven miles north-west of this is Bellingham. This was formerly divided into two appointments, but throe years ago these were united in one. The services have since been held in an old lumber camp, but a new Church building was begun this summer. Two Sabbath Schools were conducted at this place by local workers. Prayer meetings were carried on weekly at all three appointments and valuuble assistance was given the Miss)onary. The prospects for the whole field are encouraging. A number of new settlers came in during the year, and with painstaking work good congregations may be built up. In August the field was visited by the Rev. J. Garrioch, of Sowerby, who dis- pensed the Sacraments. Besides contributions to the Society, the field raised $7.38 for Presbytery and Home Mission funds. SOUTH BAY. South Bay is situated in the south eastern part of Manltoulin Island, and comprises four Stations. South Bay Mouth is a small fishing village to the south of the Island. As fishing has been light, and because there is no school, the number of families has decreased. The Sabbath School is conducted by one of the members. Tehkummah and the Slash had fortnigntly services. The Methodists also occupied the former and the English Church the latter. White Lake is a farming settlement. The weekly services were well attended, A Christian Endeavor Society organized in .lune was a very encouraging feature in the work. A shed was erected here during the summer. The Missionary was welcomed wherever he went, and had the hearty support of the people. KORAH. Bounded on the south by the St. Mary River, on the north by a chain of rocks, and lying west of the town of Sault Ste. Marie, is a fertile belt of land comprising part of the townships of Korah, Park, Prince and Awenge. In this V' valloy are three MIbsIoii Stations, Canal, Hase Line and West Kdrah, which In '91, '[)2 and ''J3 were taken up by our Society. From y;! to Dt; thi> Held wa.s under the care of the 11. M. Conimiltei', but have been supplied by the Society durlag the past summer. Sabbath servlcfs were held weekly at each of the Stations, and a weekly prayer meeting at the Canal. At Hase Line Iho Christian lOndeuvor Society held weekly meetings, which were well attended, and we believe were a means of good to all who were Interested In them. Sunday schools were jilso conducted at all the Stations. The Missionary must ever be grateful to those who so heartily helped him in the carrying on of the work. No charge being made ior board, the expense of the Society was greatly lesBened. On June 28th and Sept<'mber 20th, the Rev. N. A. Duncan, of Sault Ste. Marie, administered the Sacraments of Haptlsm and the Lord's Supper. SPRAGGB. There are four Stations in this field, all situated on the Soo Line of the C.P.R. —Cutler, Sprngge (Cook's Mills fonnerly), Algoma and Blind River. At all except Algoma, a railway town, the people are engaged in lumbering. Services were held at each of the Stations every two w«>eks, and during August and September weekly at Spragge. Sabbath Schools were also held at the different Stations, all being union schools. At Cutler, where they are mostly Americans, there is only one Presbyterian family, but here, as at the other Stations, people come to service irrespective of denomination. There are a few earnest workers here, and the Sabbath School is successfully carried on. Prayer meetings were started during September. Spragge, formerly the strongest Station, lost a number of families thJs year, but services were well attended. A Christian Endeavor Society and prayer meet- ing were also held during the week. Algoma has only a few Protestant families now. Th>? Presbyterian Missionary alone held service here during the greater part of summer. As there are quite a number of people at Blind River, services were very well attended, and there is promise of further growth, as several companies havr* made it their headquarters. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed by R<'v. .John Garrloch, vt Day Mills, in August, when three persons united with the Church on profession of taith and one by certiflcate. MASSEY. This field is on the " Soo " branch of the C.P.R., and is made up of three Stations — Massey, Walford, and Spanish. Walford is a farmiilg settlement. Our people there are fairly numerous, and when properly organized should soon become strong. A union Anglican and Presbyterian Church has been built. At Spanish our services were held in the house of Mr. Trowbridge, to whom the thanks of the Society are specially due. No Protestant services are held here besides our own, and the prospects of development are good. Steps have benm taken towards the erection of a Church. MaHHey is a lumbering centre with u mixed population. Tbure is a Largo field for work hero and promise of good results. Bcrvlces were held every Sabbatb at each uf these StatlonB. At Massey marked Inti'reBt was shown in the prayer meeting. At VValford, during the whole summer, the Christiiin Endeavor weekly nieetlng was largely attended. At Spanish no week-night meeting has' yet been started. At all places the relations between the people and the Missionary were most cordial, and the Society hereby wlbhet; to gratefully acknowledge the many kindnesses shown Its representative. The field contributed ?6,60 to Schemes of the Church. SQUAW ISLAND. This field is on a pretty little Island of the same nnnie, in the Georgian Bay, about five or six miles east of the Manltoulin. The Isliind is the temporary home of a number of fishermen and their families. This sunimcr there were sixteen families, :ind besides these about forty men. MornluK and evening service is held in the Church each Sabbath and Sabbath School In the afternoon. Prayer meeting each Wednesday evening. Day school was taught by the Student for part of the summer, but the attendance was very small, as there were very few children of school age on the island. Mr. A. T. Liiinj;, H.A., of the S.P.S., Toronto, presented the Mission with twenty-five hymn books for this field— a much appreciated gift. KILWORTHY. Eight miles south of Gravenhurst is the settlement of Kilworthy, comprising about thirty fiimllies, many of whom are I^utherans. Services were held at this point morning and evening, and at Morrison Lake, nine miles west, every Sunday afternoon. The late Mr. J. B. Torrance, who was one of the most devoted Missionaries of the Society, laboured on this field during the past summer. His work was cut short by his ahirmingly sudden death by drowning on September 25th, but those among whom he laboured bear testimony to his consecrated service. BUCK LAKE. The work was carried on in this field during six months, from the first Sunday in April until the first Sunday in October. The field is beautifully situated in one of the most picturesque localities in Muskoka. The services held in the different Stations were well attended, and the people seemed to bo much interested in the work. The Sabbath School work is one which is of great importance and promises to be a great help in the future, as it Is now training those who will soon become influential in their communities. The prospects for this field are good. There will always be, at nearly all the Staticns, a number of families, and it will be necessary to Iceep the ciiuse cf Christ strongly before these people, as there will always be more families moving in. ASPDIN. This field is in the district of Muskoka, about fen miles west of Huntsville, anci was taken up this ye.nr by our Society for the first time. It consists of two Stations: Aspdin nnd Chalmer Church, yearly. Services were held in each of these places weekly, in which a deep interest was manifested. In connection with the ^7 SiRtlon In Aspdln. a Snbbath School was conducted, at which tlicio was a K»)()d attt-ndnncc. Prayer mecllngs and Blnglng claB»t'b w*'re hela -weekly in thla imrl of lht> flfld. The Studont hnd the pleaHiire of dcdnt? aonic ploncor work In Stroud's BCltlo- iinnt. about Hcvon nilloR west of Aspdln, and the mT'lccH held there were greatly iipiueelated by the people. The Rev. J. SleverlKbt, of HuntHVlUe, visited the field In August and dlspcnaed the Saeramenis, receiving two now members into the Church. FRANKLIN. This field is In northern MuHkoka. and lies amid the buys oi n.' Lake of itays. One new Station was added to the field which had formerly been worked in connection with an«)ther field; this made it Impossible to work the field the same iis hnd been done In former years. The main HtationK are now Dwlght, McCutcheon and Dorset. At each of these lilaces there is n comfortable little frame Church ami a few warm-hearted people. In Dwlght regular services wero held and were well attended. We have also a Sabbath School and weekly prayer meeting, which were also well attended. McCutcheon is making more i)roKres3, having done conHideral)le work on their Cliurch; it is now a very comfortable place of worship. Two leading men in the place united with the Church the first time Sacranicnl was dispensed. We also succeeded in organizing a Sabbath School in .iuly, which was well attend(?d up to the time of leaving. The people also are anxious to continue the school through the winter. Dorset was added to this field. Services were held weekly on liie Sabiiath and were fairly well attended. The place is quiet since the lumbermen have moved back, yet the prospect for a good work being done among the settlers is promising. Occasional services were held in Portage and Haystack Pay, which were also well attended. LORING. This field is situated in the Parry Sound District, about 42 miles west of Trout Creek. It has now been under the Society for a number of years. Services were held during the summer at Loring, West I.oring and Wolf River, the first having a weekly service and the other two a fortnightly one. This year progress was made in the erection of a Church, and it is hoped that it will be ready for use Mhen the services open in the spring. On September 13th, Rev. W. G. Smitii, of Ca Mender, dispensed the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. COMMANDA. This field lies in the nortliern part of the District of Parry Sound, about 15 miles west of the Northern Railway. It is a farming community, and the field is over 25 miles in length; it comprises four Stations, Rye, Commanda, Nipissing ;ind Sharp's Corners, the last of which was taken np for the first time this year. ThcM'e are Churches at Commanda and Nipissing, but the services were held in school houses at the other two Stations. Fortnightly service was conducted at each of the Stations, though the attendance in the most of cases was rather small.

C'ARLINO. This field was during the lant Buninier taken \ip by the Society for the flrat time, the work there having prevlouHly been carried on by the Home MlHHjon rnininilttee. The field 1b Hituatod hi the district of Parry Sound, about nine miles from the town of P.irry Sound. It comprises three Stations Carllng, Sheheshe- kong and Dewe. At Dewe fortnightly services were held and weekly services with Sabbath Schools at the other two Stations. Weekly prayer was hfeld at Shebeshe- kong, at which the attendance whs good and the work encouraging. From the beginning the people manifested a lively Interest in the work. The Sabbath Schools will be carried on during winter monlhs, though the people will be deprived of the regular means of gruct!. Rev. Mr. Chllderhose visited the field In July and dispensed the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. LAKE JOSEPH. This field is situated in a favorite section of the Muskoka District, and Is composed of four Stations, Port Cariing, Kllllecrankie and Gleuifer Braes, Stoney Brae and Craigie Lea. At Port Cariing and Kllliecrankle and Glenlfer Braes, service was held every week; at Stoney Brae and Craigie Lea every other week, thus making a distance of about twenty-two miles a Sabbath, eighteen miles of which the Student rowed (generally with help), and walked the other four. Two prayer meetings were con- ducted during the week, one at Killiecrankle and the other at Foot's Bay. There are a few earnest Christian workers on the field, and the outlook on the whole is hopeful. The Student received much encouragement from the tourists who made up the greater part of the congregations, and who took a deep interest in the work. The thanks of the Society are due those who permitted services to bo held in their houses during the summer. On August 16th the Rev. J. G. Shearer, B.A., of Hamilton, dispensed the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at Port Cariing, when five new members were received into the Church, three by certificate and two by profession of faith. BERRIEDALE. In the district of Parry Sound this field lies situated between Burk's Palls and Sundridge. It is composed of four Stations: Berriedale, where a weekly service and Sabbath School were held and two prayer meetings every alternate week; Ely, Hartfell and Harkness, where fortnightly services were held, and a weekly Sabbath School, with weekly prayer meetings at Ely and Hartfell. //J A Clii'lHtluti Kniloiivoi- Society was toriiicil tit Kly ami wax iId' iiiiiiiih of liaviiiK rU« wi-rkly piiiycr nuM'tliiK fMliibllslxMl there, iiiul alHO of luilpiiiK tli<> work coiihIiI- tTubly.

At Washago there is a neat frame riiiireh. Necessary Improvements were aiiMle on the hnlldlnK, at considerable cost, this summer. St. David's ('hiirch.

At the third Station the service was held In the school house, which, by a provision In the deed, is at the disposal of the I'resbylerian Church for purposes irl worship. Occasional services wero also held .it R.-iK^ed .Rapids, a small settlement of eiuht families in North Victoria. At all places ihe services were well attended and Miolilable. At the celebration of the Lord's Supper the Rev. .1. Skene, of Hillsdale, preach- ed. Six persons were added to the C'hurch. three at Wnsluign. two at the Town Hall Settlement, and one at St. David's. UKTHUNE. This field lies along the line of the Ottawa. Arnprior and Parry Sound Riiil- w.iy, in the district of Parry Sound. The btiildinK of the railway has induced a large number of people to settle in fTiat part of the country. As the road is still In process of construction, the number of men employed on it Jidded largely to the population of the Held. These were kept supi)lled with literature during the summer. The services were well Jittended, and encouraging interest shown in every- thing pertaining to the Mission. Kearney, one of the leading Stations, is uniting with an adjoining congregation III (Mil an ordained man. Rev. Mr. Carswell, of Burk's Falls, visited the Held and dispensed the s.nraments. KIPPEWA. This field is situated on Lake Kippew.-i in Quebec, and extends to the foot of I.mIu' Temiscamingue. It comprises five Stations, viz., Klpp(>wa. Gordon Creek, Tlie Soo." Sunnyside and Hunter's Point. With the exception of Sunnyside. services were held on a.n average fortnightly, and at Sunnyside occasionally, as it w.is i)r;iclically closed up during p;irt of the summer. Kippewn is beautifully 4a 'I 60 situated on ji most picturesque lake bearing the same name. It is only a very .small place, yet on account of its being the terminus of a branch of the C.P.R., and the point of transfer for steamboat traffic, consequent on the lumbering that ii- very extensively carried on north of here, it is very lively. Sunnyside and Hunter's Point are twelve and twenty-six miles respectively up the lake. This was travelled by steamer, and although the steamboats here are owned and run by Catholics, your Missionary always travelled free of charge. Seven miles west of Kippewa along the railway is Gordon Creek; here a large mill and other lumber industries were running all summer, though most of the employers are French Roman Catholics. A short distance west of here is " The Soo," where a few Protestant families are settled. Owing to the roughness of th( country, agriculture is very little carried on. Your Missionary received a hearty welcome on his arrival, and the hearty co- operation in his work from all denominations; Catholics attended many of the services, and, in cases, aided in the finances of the field. Although the population on the field is very small, yet they contributed very liberally, and we are glad to note that an Ordained Missionary is to visit the field throughout the winter. Rev. A. Pindlay, of Barrit, visited the field the second Sabbath in August, and dispensed the Sacrament at Kippewa and Gordon Creek, where two were baptized and one was received into the Church on profession of fa.ith in Christ. The field raised $19.49 for Home Mission fund, besides its contributions to the Society. TEMISCAMINGUB. The Missionary had to travel over a distance of about 100 miles on this field. There were six Stations at which services were held regularly, besides the lumbering camps whenever there was opportunity. Two of the places were visit- ed once every two weeks; the other places, which were not so important, were visit- ed once a month. The travelling was done mainly by steamer, but the rowbo^ and canoe had to b(> used also. The Presbyterian cause, considering the size of the place, is strong in Hailey- bvry and Liskeard. Mr. Findlay, Superintendent of Missions, laid the foundation of a future congregation in Haileybury. At this place we received as a free gift. from Mr. Farr, a member of the Anglican Church, two town lots for Church piii- poses. The location of these lots was chosen and trustees appointed. The people are anxious for the services of an Ordained Missionary. This is certainly what the field requires. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed at Haileybury and Liskeard by Mr. Findlay. Six young people joined the Church by confession of faith an.l partook of the Sacrament, also a number were received by certificate. The Sacrament of Baptism was also administered to five children, four in Liskeard and one in Haileybury. SOUTH BUXTON. South Buxton lies twelve miles south-west of Chatham. There was no Pres- byterian service here for the past year. This year morning and evening rervices were held each Sabbath. The attendance and interest taken was very encourag- ing. There is also a good work being done in the Sabbath School. !('(.^ I'- i! • 61 During the week the regular pniycr meeiing aud the Y.P.S.C.E. prayor nei-t- ing were conducted, both of which were fairly well attended. Ilev. Mr. Larkin, of Chatham, visited the field and dispensed the Sacraments. One member was ;i elded to the Church. TARBERT. This field comprises two Stations, Tarbert and Campania, both farming dis- tricts, in Duffcrin County. It was occupied by this Society for the firs* time this summer. Weekly services were held at both places. Tarbert h;id enjoyed only fortnightly prayer meeting, conducted by Rev. Mr. Crozier. of Great Valley, previous to the arrival of the Missionary on the field. The attendance at the Sabbath services was encouraging, and eleven members wore added during the summer. There are only a few Presbyterian families at Campania, yet the services were well attended and the prospects are good. Weekly prayer meetings were held at both places, and were a great means of good. There are also union Sunday Schools at both points. The field is an im- portant one and the prospects are encouraging. Number of fields, 32; time: 20, six months; 2, five months; 10, four months. Number ' f Stations, IH: 52 had weekly, 49 fortnightly, G monthly, 7 occasional services. Number of week-night meetings, 55; number of Sabbath Schools, 02; number of Presbyterian families, (Hio; total number of members, 971; of which 115 were added this year. Total contributions from fields, $3,859.23: total cost of fields, $6,550.30; cost to Society, $2,691.07. The contributions received during the year ending October lUst, 1896, amount- ing to $2,606.08, as shown in the Treasurer's Report, were di'voted to meeting the current expenses of the summer of 1895. We are, therefore, dependent upon our m.iny friends to help us defray the indebtedness of the past summer, which amounts to $2,691.07. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The Soci(>ty desires to record its thanks to all those in the fields who boarded its Missionaries free of charge, or who gave them material assistance of any kind; also to those outside the fields who contributed to the funds of the Society, or who supplied literature for distribution on the fields. The Society desires specially to express its thanks to the following: — Rev. Prof. Campbell, Knox Chur(;h, Hamilton; Rev. J. A. Hamilton, Londesboro; Capt. Latimer and Messrs. Kelly, Ferguson & Lumsden, Kippewa ; Mr. William Stephen, Korah; The Muskoka Navigation Company; Mr. Robt. Millar, Campania; Messrs. Harper & Leighfield. Thessalon; Mr. Bell, Little Rapids. WINTER WORK. Every Sabbnth morning fifteen or twenty Students go from the College to teach in the Gaoi r.rnergetic Influence of the Missionarj', |500 have been raised for the purpose of building a Church, $300 of this .amount being subscribed by the people themselves. For this reason the field has not been able to contri- bute very much towards the supi)ort of the Missionary, and this burden falls on the Society, which it cheerfully slioulders, hoping soon to see a bright future open- ing up for the Cliuroh of Christ in this place. FORT FRANCES. D. Oliver, Manitoba, College, Missionary. Thus field Is about IRH miles from Rat Portage, in a mining district. The town of Fort Frances has a population of 500. and iwssesses ji comfortable Presbyteri.iU Church. S(>rvlce was held every Sabbath evening with an average attendance of about 100, ;inil Sabbath School work was also carried on very successfully. 53 A morning service wiis held in a newly-sfttled district, at a place called Crozier, five miU's from Fort Frances, the people taking great interest in the si^rvices. About forty miles from Fort Frances there are extensive gold mines, which give employment to a considerable number of men. The Missionary visited the mining camps monthly, spending several days among them, and holding services. Mine Centre and Bell City, two mining towns, were also supplied with week-night services. The land owners of the latter place have given a site for a Church, and it is hoped that before the summer is over it will be built and opened. LEDUC AND NEW LUNNON. This field lies in the neighborhood of South Edmonton. There are five Stations, each having been supplied with a fortnightly service, and the settlera showed their interest in the work in many ways. At one of the Stations — a new settlement — the people decided to build a Church, and began operations during the winter; it is nearing completion, and will be opened early in the summi'r. Mr. J. J. Ferguson, an elder in the South Edmonton congregation, in conjunc- tion with the Missionary at that place — Mr. R. M. Dickey — carried on these services, the Society merely bearing the expenses of Mr. Ferguson. WORK FOR THE SUMMER. Rosenfeld and Plum Cjulee. These are two Stations on the Deloraine branch ol the C.P.R., Rosenfeld being at the jun tion of the Great Northern Railway. During the winter they have received services occaslonaJly on week nights, being supplied by the Gretna Missionary, Mr. F. J. Hartley, B.A., but the distances, 22 and 16 miles respectively, are against this mode of supply. The Society therefore purposes to supply these two places during the summer session from the College. Plum Coulee Is a little town of 200, with a School and Baptist Church. The Baptist people have kindly offered us the use of their Church whenever they are not using it. A flourishing English Sabbath School once existed there, but it has given place to a German li.tptist Sabbath School. There is room for an Eng- lish School yet, without interfering with our neighbors. Rosenfeld has a Sabbath School, conducted by a good Presbyterian, Mr. Stewart. There are only about half a dozen families who attend our service here, but all are anxious for service. If we do not undertake this field, the services they receive will be irregular, and often neglected. Moneys expended from 1st April, 189fi, to 31st March, 1897: — For winter work of 1895-96 $315 89 For winter work of 1896-97: - Bellafleld $176 00 Fort Frances 153 00 Leduc and New Lunnon 78 00 407 00 $722 89 In sending out this statement, we thank all who have in the past given their assistance, nnd we are hopeful that the generosity of the congreRations and friends to whom we may appeal will he as freely extended as in the past.

Appointment of Students, etc. — It was resolved that applications at the spring meeting of the Committee for appointments from University Students, who only offer their services for the summer, will not be considered until all Theological and other Students, who agree to remain for at least one year in the Mission field, have received appointm(>nts. It was further agreed that hereafter no Student or other Missionary appointed to fields in the Synods of Manitoba and the North-West, and of British Columbia, will have his return expenses p.'iid from the .unds of this Committee unless he labour in the field continuously for at least ten months. Further, it was agreed that only those Students who offer their services for a term of at least six months will liereafter be eligible for appointments. The claims from the Presbyteries in the Synod of Manitoba and the North- West for the whole year being $700 in excess of the lump sum promised by the Conimittee, it was agreed to pay the claims in full, the brethren from the North- West, present at the meeting, having guaranteed that they will by special effort collect and forward to the Treasurer, prior to the 25th April, a sum of iit least $850.

It i. of iii1ereeeu very valuable, and has meeting with fair support, and is still proving a signal benefit throughout the various Presbyteries. The Synod really does little more, however, than provide for it- own work, which is somewhat large. The l^ommittee feel, therefore, that the time has fully come when strenuous and united elfcu'ts should be uunle to increase our contributions and to reduce grants, where such a course can be followed consist- ently with the maintenance of the work in hand. Thirty-eight congregations are fin the list. It is recommended that, in view of the pressing need of the work in the North-West and elsewhere, this Synod resolves to raise, in addition to present con- tiibutions. $1,000 towards the $5,000 needed by the (Jeneral Assembly's Committee In carry out the necessary extension proposed. It is also recommended that memliersof Synoil in their various charges makei special appeal to their Young I*eo[)le's Societies and Sunday schools for augmentation funds. SVXOI'SIS OF UKI'OUTS OK I'KKSItVTKinKS. 1. Quebec — Not a single vacancy, and such progress Tuadc that grants have lieen reduced from $1,900 in 1893 to $1,17;') in IK'.K!, and ministers are working with I'lntentment and zeal. On all hands we have signal testimony to the value of the Scheme. ^.^ 2. Montreal — The Scheme continues to lie a boon of inestimable value to weak longregations in our bounds. Every augmented charge is settled. Efforts to\rards I'l'ducticm are promised, but there cannot i.i the cireumstauces be large reiluction<. !1 Ottawa -L'Orignal, Hull and II iiitonbiirg remain as bef(jre. Fit/.roy Harbor and Kichmond are expected to be off the list. East (iloueester has been weakened tliiDUgh removals, and Aylmer also. Hryson, etc., and Portage du Fort, eti'.. have \»'M\\ added and a heavier draft on the fund will result. 4. Glengarry — Substantial progress made. Avonmore is off and \v\\ a fund, however, calls for the nH)st careful scrutiny on the part of I'reshyteries, th.it li may not he an incentive to illiherality in tlie conirreLrafion^ reci^ivinn" aid. Experi- ence i)roves that I'reshyteries should exei-cis(! diligent (iversi cimsiderablv Itjssencd. This arrani^-eiuent is only recent, so that it is too soon yet to say anythintf as to resuLs.

To show that the stations and con yix'Ljat ions in this Presbytery are not un- mindful of the claims of the Au>,nnentation Fund upon tliem, I may state that, tor tlic past year, notwithstandiuLT the unt(".ward cii'cumstances by wdii(!h they are sur- rouiidtM]. th(>y have cdntiMliuted over •':>175of the '?2(K) expected of them. !(.

Saugoen — There is but one augmented congregation in this Pre.sbytery— that of Drayton and Mooretield. These stations were very recently united and formed into a pastoral charge. The Rev. C. Tate was i)laced over thorn in October last and i.s d(jing excellent irork. A grant of 8200 per annum has been made b}' the .Augmentation Ccnn- inittee, but it is hoped that in a very few years the congregation will l)e self-supporting. Were it net for the existence of the Augmentation fund this congregation would still be unsettled. 11. (iuelph — No augmented charges. SYNOD OF PI A MILTON AND LONDON. The Synodical Committ> \ through the Rev. d. C. Tolmie, Secretary, reports as fol- lows : -There are thirty seven augmented charges within tlie SynoJ, of which seven are vacant. Probably four or five will be oil' the fund by the end of the year, but others will take their jdace, and the call on tlie fund will not be materially lessened. The contribu- tions have fallen short, but it is hoped that better things will be done m the future. It is reconnnended : (1.) That in view of the needs of the tield in the North-West and I3ritish Columbia, this Synod nun at raising 8700 next year, and instruct its Coin- iiiiitee to take whatever steps may be necessary to secure the sann?. i'2.) That Presby- teries send deputations to visit those tields that are niarkedlj' dthciont in contributions to this fund. SYNOPSIS oK UKCOins nF I'H KSli VTEItlKS. 1. — Hamilton — There are eight augmented charges. These have befm visited and are (liiiiig all that can 1)0 expec'ed t)f them. All the Congregations at lirst on the fiuid are How self-sustaining, and those at present on are making progress towards that j)oi'it. 2. Paris — Two augmented charges — IJurford and Mount Pleasant. The Committee having visited the field, is of the ojiinion that the Cou.'regation is duiiigall that can reasonably be exi)ected of them at present, but does bebeve that West ilrantford might be of assistance if added to tne charge. Delhi and Windham Centre have only been on the fund since December. Delhi was transferred from Hamilton Pres- hytery and united with Windham Centre, erected into a pistoral charge, and receives a grant of g!200.00. H. Londtm— Seven receive aid ; one. Alma Church, St. Thomas, hr.s become self- sustaining, but assistance has been asked for L'hahners Cinu'cli, London, a recently organ- ized and promising charge, s(j that the luunber will be the same. All the augmented ch irges are in a healthy state, doing good work, and several, it is believed, will re(|uiro k'ss a.ssistance this year. No applications for aid are made without full and impartial invi'stigation ; none but weak receive support. 4. Chiitham - Has two augmented charges. Dresden was settled and placed un tlic fund in 18!)."), receiving $250.00. In 1«')(J the grant was reduced to $150.00. Tlie Presbytery has reason to believe the Congregation will bo self-supporting before end nf present year. The other augmented charge is Blytheswood. It is now vacant. We hope, when settled, a smaller grant will be reciuired. 5. Sarnia— Three augmented charges ; one congregation, Albert Street, at Sarnia, was during the year removed from list and self-sustaining. 0. Stratford — Has no augmented congregation. 7. Kjron — Three augmented charges, them. The grants are same as last year. These are doing all that can bo expected ol 8. Maitland — Throe augmented charges. Of these one, North Kinloss, Riverdalo, and Enniskillen, was last year transferred from Bruce Presl)\ tery ; the grant asktd, $150.00. The deputations have visited all the assisted congregations, but there i.s no prospect of their doing better, except North Kinloss, which may advance a little durin;^ the present year. !). Bruce — Two augmented charges, Glamis and North Brant and West Bontinck, Glamis will soon be self-sustaining ; the congregation of late has greatly increased, ami had it not been for building a new church last year, the chartro would already Iiave assumed all tinancial liabilities. The other charge, Nortii Brant and West Bentinck, hiis suffered from failure of crop, being in the belt which for three years has suffered froiii drouth. It has also been weakened by removal of families from the district. SYNOD OP MANITOBA AND NORTH-WEST TERRITOUIES. The Synodical Committee, thror^h Mr. Fanjuharson, Secretary, reports : At tbe beginning of the year there were eighteen congregations, of which six were vacant. At present there are sixteen on the list, of which eight are vacant. The pressure for reiliic- tion of iH'ants led to tinancial ditticulties and resignations. Becently grants have beiii increased and settlements etlected. Possibly "^he work has reached the stage where progress will not be so marked. The village congregations are mostly self-sustaining, hence the augmented congregations mo in growing proportions situated in the more thinly settled districts, and cannot advance rapidly. SYNOrSIS OF KEPORTS FROM I'KKSIiYTKKIES. 1. Winnipeg — Selkirk settled during the year ; doing well, but will need help smno time longer. The four others were vacant when Committee met in March, but two have called since, and will likely be soon settled. 2. Rock Lake— Crystal City, not strong but doing well. Two churches and a manse are being built, and the burden has prevented increase of stipend. Killarney has been suji- plied by students. Signs of progress now. A church to be built and doubtless a settle- ment will soon follow. Roland has just been added to the list. 3. Glenboro — St. Luke's recently "laced on the list. At Hilton the crofters are in tinancial diHiculties and advance is slow. 4. Brandon— Rounthwaite gaining strength and will .soon be off list. Elkhorn mil Brookdale will require assistance a little longer. 5. Minnedosa— Hamiota has become self-sustaining. Birtle is progressing; grant will be reduced soon. 6. Melita — Hartnoy has become self-sustaining ; Melita is likely to call soon 7. Regina — Moosejaw, self-sustaining.

Home Mis.iioti Committee to pay. The cost to the (nnil for the dill'erent hranches of the work, for the past year endinj; April .'iOth will he found in the sulijoined tallies. The deht at the hefiinninu of last year was '5.36JO,77. This debt ha.-^ '-"en reduced to Sir)',»7.f>!>. 'J'o\va>(ls the rednction, (^hristian Endeavor Societies contrihuied Sllifi' .

We look to them lo repeat their effort this year, in order ihat the re; miru ■ i of SltlOO luay he entirely swept a-.vay. The total rccei|its fur the year were $l.'J0;»4.()''i. dI . hich *2100 84 were for the North West. The total cx|ienditiire fi)r the year, iiKdudin<,' .. jii lut for the North West was SI. '5, 001. til, f^ivint; a surplus on the year's work of S2()'.(.'t.08. Th irj e amount is the more ^.'ratifying, hecause it is al. from our own people. The gifts from Seotliu.d, lor which in past years we were called U|)on to record our lienrty thanks, liave not come 'laiid thi.s year. We are very grateful for past valuable aid, and now that it has ceased, w-, > >>. be too thankful that our own ]jeo''' iiavc shown ihrmselves able and wiiliiijr to su])ply the ncessary funds for this work. The euniniittee strive to kee|) down expenditure to the lowest point consistent with efliciency, and last year expended consi lerahly less than the year previous ; hut our people must count on an averaj.'e increase, if we are to deal fairly by our Home Mission fields. Wo trust that diiriii!,' the coininj; year, the del)t will he ci)mplet(dy eleare(' off and (current expenses fiil'y met, as well as the North West liberally remembered. To do this we will need at least S16,()00 or about $1000 more than was given last year. The Superintendent of Missions in the Presbytery of St. John has continued to do excellent work. The Commitiee have resolved to pay him a salary of 81200 atid travelling; ex])enses. He will fi;ive all collections made at his meetin;,'s and money received lor supply of vacant chartres, which will amount to over 5200, to the Home Mission Fund. The W. H. M. S that formerly applied their funds to the partial paymetit of the Su|)'.'rintendent's Salary, now setid all their money to the treasurer for the support of special fields. Durin;,' the winter months, the Home Mi.ssion fields, which were made vacant in the fall b the return of the catechists to their (college .iiudies, were eoinmitted to the I'reshyteries for such oversi;;lu and disjiensation of oniiiiaiices as rni^^ht he found practicable All the I'reshyteries rt]iort that rcLCular or occasional supply has been f^iven to nearly all the fields within their bounds. Hy nieaiis of our Home Mission work, the church is kept alive and firowinj,'. The ;rrowth is not rapid, because our ])opulaiion, especially in rural sections of our inoviiices is not iii'reasin^'. Hut there is, and wdl be txradnal "growth. Groups of stations which till lately, could not tiiore than pay for a catechist dunnj; halt of the year, are now raisinj; .S40t/ for an ordained missionary ; whilst others, that a lew years at;o were mission ehari^cs, are now nearly sell su|ii)ortin^' con;;reya- tiniis. The encouratrement to continue the work witli unflafrgint^ zeal, is very j;ieat. Whilst wo ninst aid the western brethren to overtake the rapidly increasiiiLT lields in our new North West, it would b".' most fatal for lis to slacken our effort on behalf of our peojde in the East. To leave sections of ou" country without the jzospel and the means of }.nace, would be to coiisi<,'n them to the blight of relif^ious iiulitl'erenee and social (lisorganization ; and to rob the church, 10 which they should belong, of the prestij.;j tlioy now ^;ive, and the strenf,'th they are destined to impart, at no distant day.

Tiie Presbyteries lesponded to the call of the Synod for this amount, with heartiness and unanimity ; and all of thtMn succeeded in obtaining moro than for years past ; yet only lliree. viz., Sydney, Wallace, and 'I'ruro, came up to the standard set for them Ijy the Synod. In these Presbyteries (nery congicgation gave something. In all tiie others, except .Miramichi, there are several congregations tiiat clid not honor themselves by tills token of brotherly love Had these 20 flefaulting ciiiirges done their duty, the fund would have been more helpful to the weak congregations depenilent on it. The nrn giving list, however, is smaller than in the preceding years. Hut the list of those that gave up eontributi'ig before they reached the sum expected of them is much larger than the year previous, being 74, as against 46 in 1S96 and 50 in 1895. The conse(|uence is that the receipts fell .S700.00 short of what was asked and needed ; and the disbursements had to be niaile subject to a discount of 7 . Tiie Comiriittee deeply regret the repetition c)f a dis- count on the already severely pared grants to fields occujiied, in most cases, by brethren who stan ai)ie(je, and in all aggregating .?470. With heart-felt gratitude, your cominittee report that not one of the (10 congregations to whom grants were promised last year, has failed to draw at least a portion of it throiigli vacancy diiriny the whole year.

After full consideration, the Committee made grants to 47, amounting to !?^;">H3.;iS Nine applications were deferred till October, which, if then considered favorably, will reipiire at least iJMOO more It is thus clear that the current year will call for the continued liberality of the Church up to the full nieasuie of the giving cl last yi^ar. Tiie Committee praise Cod that He has put it into the heart.s of His people to do so \\ell in the past, and pray that He may give the grace to continue in tiie exercise of Ijrotherly love, so practically set fortii in the working of this scheme. The I'resbytery of Sydney applied for a grant to the extensive congregation of Cape Noiih, large enough— but not exceeding .S.SOO.OO — to bring the salary uj) to .'*S0O (K) and a inause. The Committee, while in the meantime deferring the grant, agreed to ask the ,-Vsseiiibly to make thia a special case, and to emjjower the Committee, should sutficient cause be shown, to accede to the re<|Uest of the Fresbyery. The (.'ominiltee report that a few grants have been made \\ here the rules could n(jt be strictly applied ; and ask the Assembly to allow these, on the spicial grounds that seenied strong to the ("omniittee. rermission is also asked to consider and deal with the deferred applications, and such others as may emerge, and generally to take such steps as may best serve to make the fund completely successful.

WHAT IS AIMKI) AT liV TlIK BOAIfD ? The answer is, to {^ive the pure Gospel t(i tliose of the Frencli Ciiniulinn penple of the Dominion wlio do not poHsi'ss it, and thus to bring tlieui to tlio knowledge of the Saviour and to secure the Christiiin education of their children. Tliis is regarded aa an iiiin l»oth Christian find patriotic, and the agencies employed for its accomplishment are Colporteurs, Missionary-Teachers, Evangelists, and Pastors who place Bibles and instruc- tive literature in the hands of the people. IS THIS Sl'KCIFIC WOllK CALLKI) FOR? The Annual CJeneral Assemblies since the union of the Churches in iS7.") have answered this quest ion in the attinnative by connnending the Mission to th'3 i)rayerful and liberal support of the Church. As justifying this action it is to be remembered as an undeniable fact that the people whose spiritual emancipation is sought, hold and cherish many unscnptural and anti-scriptural beliefs which are persistently inculcated by their religious teacht-rs. These errors and their propagators are decidedly aggressive, and if left alone and not counter- acted by the truth of (iod will inevitably act injuriously upon (.iir children, our educa- tional progress and all our most sacred institutions. It is well known that many thousands in the Province of Quebec have long been kept in a state of illiteracy which hindered their advancement in secular pursuits and unfitted them for the proper exercise iif their rights as free citizens. They now keenly feel this to be the case, and there is a wide-spread demand for better education. As the outcome of missionary effort, the ditl'usion of wholesome knowledge in various ways through the press and by conversations, lectures and addresses, and by letters from friends in the United States and elsewhere, and, above all, by the circulation of the Word of God among them during the List fifty years, a powerful movement has set in of the nature of revulsion from the re'igio-political system to which most of them hitherto have yielded umjuestioning submission. Kven their representJitives in the halls of legislation have, with the emphatic approval of their constituencies, asserted independence of clerical domination in civil matters. The present moment in the history of the people is therefore both hopeful and critical, and furn'shes opportunities of aiding them in the struggle for freedom such as never before occurred. The fact that they are more and more rapidly losing faith in their old creed and religious institutions is attended by serious danger, and lays special responsibilities upon those who have the truth.

I tound some men very inditt'erent about religion, but it is be- cMusi' they don't know the (iospel, and I tell them so. They all want to be instructed.

" The year now ending has been a strange mingling of discouragement and encourage- ment, of tears and songs of triumph. Depression in business, the closing of some fu'tories and short hours in others, has so demoralized the poor working man and un- strtli'd his mind and purposes that we found it difficult to get their ears attentive to any- iliiiiLrelse but sympathy in their troubles; their pra-oocupation being how to get and n hire to go to earn an honest living. Over forty have thus left seats vacant in our clmrch. Still we are cheered by hearing that their faith in the Gospel is a source of sireiigth to them mi their battle of life in the places to which they have gone.

THf] OUTCOME OF NK(!LECT. Ono of tho most impressive and sadly instructive reports that has reached tho oflice iif tho 'Joard is from tlio pen of a man eighty-four years oM. He has spent his whole life in tho Province of Quebec as a faithful witness to the truth. Ho gives the names of eloven heads of Frotestant families — six of them Scotch, two English, two Swiss and one Uiitch — who settled at Murray Bay in 1812. He carefully tabulates the numbijr of doscondants from each family for live generations, and finds that they aggregate ton thousand and thirty souls. Had those been brought up in the faith of their fathers they would now constitute as many aa three-fourths of the populatiim of tho parish of Murray Bay, and bo a great strength to the Protestantism of tho Province ; but through the ncLjlect of the Churches to which the original families belonged thoy all speak only the French language and are Roman Catholic. It is to prevent the recurrence of a history uf this sort in tho case of many groups of our own pe(H)le, as well as to give the • lii.spel to those thfit surround thom, that our Church trains and employs missionaries and ministers who speak both French and English. he riospi'l up under d elevated ig of their lemselves, BS." tions liiivu over last liberality ,s, and two .

As enquiry is frequently made for information regarding the Mission Schools at I'ointe aux Trembles, we repeat what has appeared in previous reports : Tho Schools are situated on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, nine miles east of Montreal. They were founded in 184G by tho French Canadian Missionary Society, and wore purchased by the General Assembly of our Church in 1880. On the Mission property there are two school buildings, one for boys, which can accommo- date about 110, and the other for girls, with accommodation for between 70 and 80, including the recent extension. About 5,000 French Canadians have already been educated here. Many of these now occupy positions of trust and influence as ministers, teachers, physicians, lawyers, merchants, etc. Pupils are admitted between the ages uf thirteen and twenty-five, the average age being seventeen. A jireference is given to the sons and daughters of French-Canadian Roman Catholic parents and to tho children of recent converts from Rome, living in parishes where there is no Protestant school. Many of these are unable to read or write when first received into the schools. The session begins in October each year and continues for seven months. The pupils all reside in the buildings, and thus enjoy the advantages of a Christian home, under tho watchful nurture of earnest, devoted teachers. They all take their share of house- work. The day's duties are thus laid out : — Rise at 5.30 a.m. All are in the class room studying privately from to 7. Breakfast at 7. House and out-door work from 7.oO to 8.45. Family worship, when all assemble together, boys and girls, at 8.45. School begins at nine with united Bible class for all, and continues till 12. Dinner at 12. followed by recreation to 1.30. Then classes till 4, recreation from 4 to 5, classes from 5 till (1, tea at 6, recreation to 7 ; studying privately in class room till nine, then family Worship (boys and girls in their separate buildings) at 9, and all in bod and lights out It '.(..jOp.m. There are eight teachers, all of whom reside in the buildings. They are eirnest Christians, of devoted, Missionary spirit, thoroughly consecrated to their work. The Principal, Rev. .1. Bourgoin, has been 2G years connected with the institution, and is admirably adapted for his position. The Directress of the girls' school is Miss L. iSf; lluddow. fnnii DalhouBio, N.B. , i\ diHtiii^uishel student in Modern L(in<|uaL,'t>s if rniverwity College, Toronto, and one who had some acijuaintance with Fronuh-Ciinadi.in life from ji reaidenco in a rural district of Quel)ec Province, acquiring the Freiii li language. For two years Miss Haddow has occupied this position and has dihchargol the duties of it with lidelity and success. Special ])rominence is given to the religious instruction of the pupils, and \n tlie teaching of (Jod's Word on the points of ditfbrenco l)etween Protestants ami lionian Catholics. In tlie.se every pupil is thoroughly indoctrinated, and it is mi exaggeration to state that comj)aratively few of our English-speaking young men ami women are better acquainted with their Bibles, or are bettor able t(» give a reason fur the liojje that is in them, than are the pupils of Pointo aux Trembles when they leave the Mission School there. The attendance last session was one hundred and fifty-five. Not only is great care exercised in the selection of pupils from the increasingly large number of French Canadians applying for admission, but the policy of the Board, in inducing the brightest among thorn to continue for three or four consecutive sessions, is bearing manifest fruit. The schools are visited and examined monthly by a committee of the Board, appointed for the purpose, and towards the end of the session written examinations are held on all subjects taught during the year. VVHion the Board acquired the property in 1880, it resolved to admit no pupils gratuitously, except Roman Catholics whose parents were unable or unwilling to con- tribute. All others are recpiired to pay something, in proportion to their ability, towards board and tuition. Tiie amount received in this way during the past session was $1,147. •'50. A considerable portion of this amount was money earned by the pupils themselves during the preceding summer. After deducting these feei, the aver- age cost to tiie Church of each pupil is SaO per session. The Board desires that tlie institution should be supported by means of scholarships of ft50 each, guaranteed by private individuals or Sabbath Schools. A particular pupil is assigned to the donor of a scholarship, to whom reports as to the progress made are forwarded from time to time. In this way a Sabbath School contributing a scholarship is put directly in cor- respondence with the Mission School, .and the letters, if road publicly to the Sabbatli School, tend to keep up their interest in the work. The enlargement of the buildings and the conse(iuent increase in the number of pupils necessitates a very large increase in expenditure annually. It is hoped, therefore, that many more of the Sabbath Schools of the Church and Christian Endeavor Societies will assume the support of pupils. From those unable to do so, a contribution is earnestly asked. The Board has no hesitation in warmly commending the schools as worthy of public confidence, assured that no means are likely, by the blessing of Ood, to be more efficacious in the work of French Canadian evangelization, and in advancing the cause of Christ in the Province of Quebec. Year after year God has manifestly set His seal upon this work, and blessed the labours of the teachers. " The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." PRINCIPAL'S ANNUAL REPORT. It is with a dee]) sense of gratitude towards the friends and supporters of our Schools that we beg to present them with a brief report of the work of the past session. Your unabiting generosity has provided for ')ur material wants, your prayers and y(mr sympathy have sustained us, and the Holy Spirit has blessed the teaching of tlie truth for the conversion of several of our pupils. We received last fall two hundred and fifty-three applications for admission in our Schools.

One liundred and fifty-five pupils have been received. Fifty-three were j^irls and one liundred and two wore boys, Seventy eiglit belonged to pan^nt.s still attaclied to the Church of Homo. We have had the satisfaction of noticinj^ a decided chanj^e in the views of many of tliose wlio came to us full of faith and confidence in the errors of their Church, while twenty-one, who luid already spent a few years with us or who had l)een under Cliristian influence at homo, have openly confessed their faith in Jesus as their Saviour and have united themselves with His Church. It would bo iiitorestiny perhaps to record how the Lord lias i)rought some of them to the acceptance of Hi.s saving grace. Some time ago a young phan was brought to us by his uncle whose children had been benefited by out School. When our young friend went home after the .session was over, his grandmother, having found a Bible in his valise, said she would never consent to his coming again to Pointo aux Trembles. During eiuht years ho made ccjiistant eflbrts in order to obtain pormissicm to return to school. It was not only a desire for education which pushed him in that direction, but he wanted to know more about the Bible. Last fall, seizing his first opportunity, he came back to us, and we never had a more attentive pupil at our Bible leascms. He was thirsting for the truth and before the end of the session he was rejoicing in .Jesua as his only Saviour. Ho said that the first session he spent liero he was convinced of two things, first that we must obey the Bible, second that God alone can pardon our trangrossions, He never went again to confess his sins to the priest excej)t when compelled by his grandmother. This fact shows once more that even when our pupils have not the liberty of coming b.ick after their first or second session, what they have learned about the Ooapel is not lost and sooner or later we find them in the ranks of the army of Christ. A young girl who had obstinately fought against the truth for a long time and who had seen her father, mother and sisters, openly renounce the errors of Rome without being shaken in her convictions, at last understood that we must obey (Jod rather tiian men. From that moment scales fell from her eyes, she saw Jesus in Hi.s love^ siie heard His voice and gave Him her heart. The father of a large family who had sent us several of his children, having met with ii severe accident which kept him from his work, the priest advised his people to let that family starve if they refuse to withdraw their children from Pointe aux Tremble^ The moliher who had been reading the Bible for a few months answered those w) .)• biiiught her that news: " We shall neither call back our children nor starve, becaude we now rely upon a loving God and not upon a greedy prieat." Wo kept our pujjils iuul the Church of Rome has lost the whcdo family. A young boy who arrived in the Scliool last fall, a Roman Catholic, received the (iospel after a few months of attentive study, and he soon took an active part in the prayer meetings conducted by the boys. Having written to his father about the great change which had taken place in his vifiws, his father answered him that he was glad to hear about it because for a long time he had shared the same views without having the courage of stating openly !iis religious convictions, not even in his family. Another was writing twice a week to his sister at home in order to communicate to hui the discoveries he was making through the .study of the Bible, but, advised by the priest, she said she would never answer his letters again if he continued to speak about religion. He had to discontinue his attacks, but he remained determined to SA ir /./.v m^^. renew thorn in a inoro vif;5ori)iiB wuy when at Imim! iliirinR tin; viicatioii.

From the l)0>,'inniny an incriiasinK spirit of prayer has boe'i manifested. One of our former pupils who was visiting iho school, having boon present at one of the boys' muetings, said that hu had been moved to tears on hearing so many young boys pray aixl speak so fervently. As usual our scholar/i, uspucially the more advanced, have manifested a lautlablf ambiii(m in the pursuit of their studies, and they have done their work with ','reat caro and punctuality. Our higher division was composed of seven boys, all studying with u view to entiM' ing college. Two of our i)upils loft a few days ago for missionary fields, where they shall work during summer, and many others had been happy to follow their example had the meant been provided for their employment.

By order of the General Assembly this institution was purchased in 1.SH9 for .^20,00ii, which sum, with the addition of $5,000 laid out in repairs, etc., remains as an indebted- ness on the property. In compliance with the decision of the Assembly, the Board has diligently soul'Iu to carry on the institution as a French-English College, in the interests of French p]v;ui- gelization, but with results which do not appear to justify the continuance of such oflmts. The number of French students from the first was small, and for the last year iii>iie have been in attendance.

From the accompanying tiiuiticial statomcTit of tho Troasuror it is yratifyini,' to olisorve that tho year has ended with a small balance on hand both in the Ordinary and tho I'liinto-aux-Trombles Funds. If, howevor, the Hoard is to be in a position to take iulvnntago of the nuiny now oponin/^s in tho Province of Quebec, it will bo necessary to ulitiiin largely increased contributions from tho Congregations, 8al)bftth Schools and Chiistian Endeavor Societies of the Church. Mr. Ignatius Cockshutt, of Brantford, continues, as he has done for so many years, to contribute $500.00 towards the maintenance of tho I'ointo Aux-Trembles Schools. While thankful to the Presbyterian Church of Ireland for its generous assistance ujiiin behalf of the work, it is a matter of regret that they have been unable to continue till' former grant, but have reduced it co £100.

Thi.H, oiir lirst-hiiiii F. M. cliilil, retains its hold on our hejvrts and yivt's us now joy every year, by the proi^'ress which niiirks its yeiirly history. Althouirli the lumiber of our missionfiries remains stationary, wo rojoico that the Australasian Churches and the Fro.- Church of Scotland have together added four men to the stall" engaged in the work a yisar ago. Two of thoBo. the Rev. Thompson McMillan, of South Australia, and tho Uov. V. H. Paton, ol Victoria, are settled on Tanna ; and two, tho llov. .lames Sandilands, of Victoria, and tho Rev. (Jatherer IJowio, of the Free Church of Scotland, aro at work on Santo. The number of native laborers grows rapidly, and in this respect our service is well abreast of that of the sister Churches. Mr. Robertson emphiys over forty, and thi' native Christians support a (|Uartor of them ; whilst on Kfato, under Mr. McKenzic, although tho number is much smaller, it is increasing, and the workmen aro paid in full by the native Christians. As throughout the whole group, both Mr. Robertson, of Erromanga, and Mr. McKenzie, of Kfate, speak warndy of tho liberality of their converts, and point to the fact as indicating, along with a growing appreciation of Divine Ordinances and correct lives, a deepening spirit of true Godliness among the Christians. They both bear testimony also to the influence thus exerted (m the few renaining heathen cm their islands, in disposini^ them to view with increased favor tho claims of Christianity. There is a large reduction of the stubborn remnant of heathenism, both on Efate and Erromanga. Additions to the communion roll were H5 in Erromanga, and 74 in Efate. Dr. Annand devotes his whole time and strength to the institute located at Tangoa, for training teachers and preachers. He reports as follows : — " The Teachers' Training Institution has been in session fifty weeks during the year. The classes were taught twenty-ihreo hours a week, exclusive of Sunday meetings and i Saturday evening prayer meeting. The classes for women were taught five hours a week. We began the year with thirteen male pupils, and we closed it with thirty-two on our roll. The total number of our family for which we have to provide is sixty, with tho promise of more by the tirst steamer. " Tho subjects taught are reading, writing, arithmetic, geography and singing. The Bible is our principle text book, both for reading and oral lessons. Some of our pupils have made marked progress. One young man from Malo acted as my interpreter when I dispensed the Lord's Supper there on the tirst Sabbath in December, and he did very well indeed. All his knowledge of English has been acijuired from the missionaries. " On Sabbath days three companies usually go out to speak to the heathen. One of these goes to Araki, an islet three miles away, with a population of a little more than h hundred. Another goes to the two shore villages, and the third company goes to the hills. In all they have visited twenty-two villngei, some of these ten or fifteen miles distant in the forest. The total population of the district we do not know, but some six or seven hundred in all have hoard the gospel during the year. " We have only four church members— these are all in tho institution. Three others are under training with a view to admission. "As this should be my last report of tho evangelistic work on South Santo, I may add that we have now in this language the gospels of Mathew and John, the ten com- mandments, a catechism and eighteen hymns ; all printed on our own press here. " Mr. aiid Mrs. F. G. Bowie are expected here in a few weeks, to take up and carry on this department of the work. " 1 am sorry to have to report that our training institution is not sufficiently provideil for financially. The assistant's salary of £150 — has to be paid out of the common fund. Nearly all the clothing, food and medicine for our large family, have to be purchased l)y us. The total income for the year was only €lG(j. i;5s. 7d, and our expenditure has been about £83 above that sum, hence any sums sent to help make ends meet will be thank fully received and promptly acknowledged. " I omitted to state that our St udentB work eighteen hours a week at manual labor ii> (.ii tho plantiitions, ho(i8el)uil(lin^', linHtiiiK, fndd, etc. Wo have eioctod six iicMitiimal !:t;ie cottivycs for pupils tiui'iii^ tho yt'iir. " in a note dated Fobniary ir)th, he says ; — "Tho iiumher of stiuUiiitH is now I!!*, of wlioni !•"> iiin iiiarriod I have just ri'coivod a cheque for t'loO from tlio J. (I. I'atoii Mia.sion Fuiul, luid fJo from Otii^'o, for our iiiotitution. Thoso sums Imvo cleared otl'our debt and sot us on our feet again. Thinj^s iiic now moving along smoothly and satisfactorily." Tho now Mission S.S. Dayspring was wrecked on its fourth trip from .Viistralia to the Inlands. In tho good [)rovidcnco of (iod, no lives wore lo^t. Arrangements for the iiaiisport service of the mission were at once made by tho Dayspring Board in Sydney, ami that service has since as it had been for some time previous to tho arrival of the now l»ayspring in tho Autumn of ISKo — been othciently rendered by the Australasian New Hebrides Company, through tiieir line of steamers. Tho Churches sui)porting the Mission are now called upon to decide what method .sliall be adopted for the carrying on of the service, after the contract for tho present year shall have been fuUilled. Shall this contract bo renewed, and this method porj)etuated ; nr nhall a new Mission Steamer be procured ' The F. M. Committee have hitherto taken tho grouni on which they have had the Assembly's support, that not only is a mi.ssi(»n vessel not o8.sential, but not as useful, all things considered, as the steamers of a reliaV)le mmmercial com])any. While the cost is much less than that of a mission vessel, the .service is better, because of its fre(iuency, its tendency to develop trade and elevate the natives in business capacity, and the general encouragement which it shows to ontorpriseB calculated to better tho outward condition of the peo))!© among whom we labor. The committee therefore recommend to the Assembly to decide in favor of tho continuance of an arrangement with the A. N. H. Co., or some other S.S. Company thai will perform the needed service on the most favorable terms. EXPKNDITURK. Rev. J, AnnanJ, D.I)., Santo : .Salary Ono-half cost of new boat Students Rev. H. A.

The test of the .secular work for the year is the (Jovernmeut annual exumination fnr results. Out of eleven schools assisted by (>overnment, six were graded very good, tliicc good and two fair. The religious imtructiou of the young falls upon both teachers and catechists, and i-* the i)oint upon which piirticiilar attention must be concentrated, because many chiklnii can bo reached in the day school who cannot be got into the Sunday school. In the Tunapuna school the senior olassus were taken into Mrs. Morton's daily Riblr class for the Homo girla with results so e.xcellent that we are stimulated to devise an ex tensi(>n of similar measures for other schools in l.Sit", The tiirls' Homo was re-opeued at the end of .lanuary and closed December llMli. Eight girls took the full cour.se or nearly so. Two were from I'rincestown, two from Couva, and four from diH'erent parts of the Tunapuna District. Six of them had passed the .'^rd or Ith standard in our day schools. This made the work of the Home iih'H' satisfactory than in previous years. They were taught in their own language Scripture knowledge, with training in tiir art of teaching others; ott'-hand translation of Hindi and English; singing, arithnutio and a simple English history ; besides all the arts necessary to their housekeeping.

From the middle of May to f'hristinas Mr. and Mrs. Fraser were at I'rincestown, hut fimii the Muperintondonco and general direction of schocds 1 was relieved by my son > elders, but of those who cliiiso them. Tho presence of Dr. Morrison at the ordination of elders at Oropoucho inlded very much to tho service, and his stay hero, though brief, will not soon bo forgot- ten. Miss Kirkpatrick's retirement a few weeks ago, and the appointment of Miss Archi- li;il(l who is now with us as her successor, may justify a special reference to San Formindo ^tUool. The whole history of this 8cht)ol shows steady progress. In lH7()l-house 40 x '20. Ten years ago, to provide additional accommodation, the main iiuilding was raised and the basement has ever since served for the infants. Tho two -lories are now inadeijuate, and tho limited space around will not allow of additions. \\ hen to this I add that the school-house stands within thirty-six feet of the Manse, it would not appear desirable to have more than 150 children in sueh close (juarters. This h;is pressed upon the Council tho ([uostion of acquiring a property with a large house, 166 ffiii'ly suited to our needs, on our western Ixnnidary ; but I will not unticipHte the ivctiun iif the Council. Tliis scliool has settled the ((Uestion of educfitini,' girls. Out of a roll of 2(10 ilir girls numbered lOl. Of 14r> children of Christian parents, 7I> are girls and (Hi lioys ; wliilsi of n<>re advanced pupils. A growing .siiise of responsibility is a ho[ieful feature of the Mission. The marked and constant co-operation of gentlemen in charge of estates deaervc- special acknowledgment. And, above all, v/^i give thanks to (iod who hath daily loaded us with His l)enetit,s. We cull as follows from the report of Rev. W. L. Macrae, Missionary in Princestowu District. : For various reasons the school work in this district is at a disadvantage necessitating.' constant work and worry. In all we have fourteen schools, ten of which are assisted by (iovernment, and four upheld entirely by our Mission. We hope to have one of thesi placed on the (Joverr.nient list before the end of 18!>7. The native teachers for the most jiart did their work well. A gradual but steady improvement is apparent in the work of this class of agents. Miss Sinclair has completed her second year's work very successfully. Calechist work received the usual attention. Eleven men were engaged during tliu whole year and four others gave a part only (jf their time to the work. Attention was also given to their instruction every week. In going about their d.iily work these faithful men are not unfrei|uently called upon to endure hardness, in the form of abuse, from the baser sort of their countrymen, but this is cheerfully borne for the Master's sake and perha])s helps their training. Special work among women has received some attention. Miss Eliza Baptiste — who if now Mrs. Toolsee — was engaged, with three others, in this work for several months with encouraging results. Mrs. Mahabir and others rendered invaluable help gratuitously, and Mrs. Frasei- made her influence <^elt admirably in this direction. Thus an eflbrt has been made to bring the light of divine truth into some of our homes through this imporbvnt agency, which we hoi)e to see more effective in the future than it has been in the past. Considerable advance has been made in Sabbath school work. Throughout the district twenty-two schools were in operation, with an enrolment of 884 and an average daily attendance of 483. Much credit is due to our young people -chiefly members of our Y.P.S.C.E. — wh" so cheerfully undertake this work in the different districts. At the beginning of the year a written examination on the entire lessons for 18!}r» was Iield, and the majority of the children who attended made a commendable percentage. Two Christian Endeavor Societies are regularly carried on, which materi.illy help u< interest our boys and girls in Bible study and train the older ones for Christian work. Perhaps never in the history of our Mission did the need of earnest united prayer I'^r lol lit the (Hitpouring i)f the Hnly Spirit seem so urgent a.-, at the [)resont time. On tlieoiu" Irind the re is the whitening of the " Heids to hivrveat ' and a gnnving need for extension of work wliicli the present financial depression forbids. On the other hand tliere is a deep crav- ing iintlie part of your missionaries for a larger measure of the Power from On High, to ulcerate in and througii tlie entire macliinery of our Miss'.on, wliich never was so complete, ;i8 at the present time.

A. W. Thompson, Missionary in the ('ouva District, reports in part as follows : The work of the year has been carried on under heavy disabilities. As re[)orted last yi'ar, two of our most intelligent teachers were cut off by death in the latter |.'art of December. Our first work was to till their places. This done, wc began to gather up the cuds of the work that had been in tlm hands of others while we were on furlough. Hchool work hid just begun when deatli claimed a very promising teacher. Ill-health compelled another to retire from the work. In luly tliree more went up to the Training Schcxd at Sail Fernand(j, Miss Fisher went houie on a well-earned furlough, and it was no easy task to carry on the work of ht r school. Rev. Mr. Macrae kindly loaned us Edmund Maliabir, one of his teachers, wiio, with several assistants, did his best for Excliange School. For the other schools we were obliged to use whatever materials we could lay our Hands on. .\tthe close of the year only two teachers occupy the places held by them at the lu'giuning of the year. An epiden\ic of sickness passed over the greater part of the district, and while we lost l>ut few scholars by death, the attendance at ;i number of the schools was muL'h reduced. Heavy rains in the latter part of the year added their (piota towards a further reduction of the attendance in the country districts. Notwithstanding all these hindrances, good progress was made. The results of the school examinations were in every case satisfactory, and the general trend of school work has kept steadily upward. The young lads who were early called upon to till up the gaps in ! lie ranks of teachers met our opjctations, and have given promise of being in due time worthy successors of those who have been called away. Those at the Training School will be able to graduate, we tru-it early in .Juno, and will form a most welcome addition to our weakened staff. Ten sch(jols were in operation throughout the year with an average ([uarterly roll (^f ''•''■•, an average (juarterly attendance of 403, with 004 enrolled for the year. These tiu'iires show a considerable increase over those of the previous year. i;l^i i.:s In " iimking disciples of tlic Nations," the S!il)l)iiili ncIkx.I is one of the most jxitcn' fact rs and must Imve t'e first place in our schenie of education. Hur wurk is to '• dis ciple ' the nations, " teaching; them," etc. The plan of work roijuired by law for the day scho"! allows bnt scant time for icli <^ioU8 instruction. Our commission is not to teach grammar or arithmetic, Initthe fr^ilh and with the one aim of leading men and women to become disc'ples of Christ. Secular st\ulies are useful only si; far as they lielp to the accompiipiiment of this end. Tlic Sabbath is a day of rest from all labor, and there is an opp.)rtunity for teaching old as well as young. To get them together is our first task. Men and women m ike all sorts of excuses. and he must needs be a wise tisher of men who would catch ihcm. Parents, though wiilr awake tv) the advantages of the day Sijhool, eitlier oppo.se or are inditltuvnt to the Sunday school, and the boys and girls are clever enough to make the must of this to avoid attend ing. To secure suitable teachers is the second task. Our available Indian workers for tlie most part have more the need of being taught themselves than the ability to teach others. This can easily be understood, and is not by any means a retiection upon them. Jn tinu this difficulty, we trust, will pass away. To this important work much thought and effort were devoted during the year, and it is now in a much moie satisfactory state than ever before. The number of schools and scholars has increased -the latter has almost doubled— and the interest of the teacher, iias been much (juickened. Three Bible women were also employed during the greater part of the year. Tlu-y aimed at doing for the women and girls what th«« catechisls do for the men. From tliiv new venture encouraging results have followed. Over 100 ^jnien are under instruction and many homes have been cheered ami brightened by their visits. Regular weekly prayer meetings are held hy the people in four districts. We have been much cheered by this step in advance over ptst years, and take it as an evidence of quickening and developing spiritual life. STATISTICS OF CO"VA FIELD FOR 18J)().

This lii'M is in dome re.spects an exceptionally ditticult one, but under the lilessing of God, and liy daily effort and constant watchfulness on the part of many of our workers, s'eady pro- :;rt'ss has been made For statistics and particulars see Mr. Macrae's report. Returning to San Fernando. By mutual arrani,'ement my report of work in this dis- trict is to consist largely of statistics, which will perhaps bi dry to some, but to the more thoughtful will give food f'lr reflection. Dr. (Jrant will report on the general features of the work, including particulars about Sabbath schools. \ good many changes have been made in our list of catechists during the past year. Nehal Singh, one of our college students, went to (Jrenada early in the year t I assist in mission work among the Indian people of that island. Fjater, Ilaineshwar went to Demarara in response to an appeal mad?3 by Mr. Slater for a catechist to hold the ground until the arrival of Mr. Cropper. Telik Singh, who had been a successful citechist in Oropouche and Lv Fortune some years ago and returned to India, came back to Trinidad in October, and has again taken up work in La Fortune. He is a strong man, and I have no doubt will do good work. Baldoo, one of our senior college .students, commonly known as the deaf pundit, died in October after a lung illness, which ho bore with Christian patience and resignation. Our catechists have generally been very faithful, and have overtaken a large amount of work. Services have been conducted regularly during the year by the catechists and mis- sionaries in twenty-eight dift'ereut places every Sabbath day. Hospitals are all accessible to iiur agents and are fre([uently visited, and the Gospel is preaclied from door to door on the estates. The seed hiis been sown in mmy hearts. We look to God for the increase. There has also been a number of changes in the list of our schools, and a C'jn3ider<.blo extension in school work. Caratal was closed from the first of the year on acc;)unt of the small attendance and the poor prospects of any aopreciable increase in the population in liie near future. A few of the more advanced children are attending one of our other schools. It was mutually agreed that Canaan and Bien Venue (tovernmont schools should revert to us, as they had not been making satisfactory progress undei the Creole teachers ein))loyed by the Government. We to )k charge of them the first of June with the result tliat the attendance in one has been doubled nr\ • the othar greatly increased.

This does \v>\ mean the al)andoninent !y felt in the West, and the erection of several much needed buildings, for which plans had been ))repared, had to be abandoned. A new and very promising opening for work wliitli the committee now has under consideration cannot be entered upon until the tinances are in better condition. The most distinctive feature in the history of the year's work was the Conference of Indian Missionaries and Helpers held in Winnipeg last November. It was attended by nineteen of those engaged in the Church's work, and was carried on for three day.s, and it is a matter of common agreement that it proved of great advantage both to the conunittee and to the missionaries. RKOINA. The Regina Industrial School has an enrollment of 155, and an average attendanci' for the last quarter of 127. The system t)f sending f)lder pupils out during the sumnuT nn'nths, the boys to work on farms, and the ui Is to act as domestic servants, has been pursued with a considerable measure of success. In this way their education is contimu'il under very favorable circumstances, and they have an opportunity of becoming contirmeil in the Christian and civilized Avays taught in the school. Over forty pupils were out at service last summer, and the average wages of the boys was *15 per month and board. The industries taui^ht in the school include carpentry and cab. making, sho'^ makiiiLT. printing and farming, besides all kinds of house wcjrk. The little fortnightly n ;sj)aper. Prof/ms,s, the printing of which is done entirely by the boys, has been published through out the year, and has been the means of putting in circulation much information abont Indian sch(jol and mission work.

MAKOCK WASTK (I'KI.Nt'K AI.HKUT). The Sioux Indians, who fdrmerly lived on the north side of the Saskatchewan, oppo- >iU' the town of Prince Albert, are being gradually traihsferred to a reserve .some miles west of the town. The more enterprising and industrious have already made the change, but tlie work of persuading the others to move is very slow. During this transition tinu! the school is necessarily small, but the enrolment has increased within the year from nine |(. fourteen. All the children and some of the women from the reserve attend the Sabl)ath school, and the progress, both in (biy school and Sabbath school, is very encourag- iii'4. These Indians an^ .still heathen, but the suspicion with which, a few years ago, tliey looked upon the missionaries is being gradually disarmed, and there is a very noticeable improvement in cleanliness, industry, and friendliness with white people. It is still the time of seed sowing for Miss Baker and Miss Cameron, but the sowing is liiing done in faith, in confidence that in His own time the Master will bless the work. .MIHTAWASIS. This is our oldest Indian Mi.ssion, and nearly all the Indians '.i it speak English, not a few of them indeed, speak English better than Cree. Morning and afternoon services are held in the Mistawasis Church, the afternoon service being chiefly in Cree. On one Sabbath in the month a service is held in the Nebo settleui'mt, and on this ilay only one soivice is held at Mistawasis. There are fifty Indian comniU' "canta, seven of whom wore added during the year. A weekly meeting upon Christian E. L-avor lines is held on vVednesdays. The attendance at the day school has been very small during the pa.st ■ jiiarter, partly on account of the severe weather and partly on account of sickness among the children. Miss Laura Mcintosh, the teacher, has tendered her resignation to the committee, to take effect at the end of June. The (Jovernnient suggests that; the school bo closed with a view to the transfer of the pupils to Ilegina. This proposal is under consideration. LAKKSEND. The dithculty which has existed for some years of choosing suitable sites for places (if worship still exists The (Government is making efforts to persuade the Indians to remove from the Qu' Appelle Valley and settle upon the plain, where alone, farming, to any con.siderable extent, can be car?"ied on. These efforts have met with but inditicrent success, but the committee, not to prejudice the efforts of the Government, has hitherto abstained from erecting church buildings of a permanent character in the valley, in the hope that before long the unsatisfactory village life in the valley may be broken up, and the Indian.s scattered as farmers on the plain. But it looks as if some temporary accommo- dations, more convenient than the Indian houses which are now used, should be provided ill the valley, for the prospect of removal still seems to be remote. 'Services were held during the year on i;he three reserves which are included in the Mission and at the Mis- >ioii House. The average attendance at each place varied from fifteen to twenty. There aro sixtcon Iner. Mr. SkiMii! .says : " Duiin;^ tlic past year we have moved on steadily. Thu children have made 8ul)stantial proj^ress linili in the literary and the industrial parts of their work. They now speak Hni,'lish entirely, ami tho older boys and L,'irls prefer it to (Jree. Some of the (dder hoys are looking forward In having farms and stock for themselves. We enoouraga them to think in this direction, because we believe that the desire for bottorinu; their position, and cutting adrift fru-n tln' old life and habits must have become a tixed princiide in the minds of such children as ours are. (Jould we but get them thoroughly in love witii fanning, caring for stock, etc., and ambitious enough to wish to own these for themselves, tho i|uestion, what is going to become of our children would settle itself." Mr .Jacob Bear, the native assistant at Hound Lake, visited the File Mills Hoveral times, and spent eight weeks in all with these Indians during the year. His faithful ami sympathetic work in preaching to tho Indians and visiting them in their homes has not as yet, however, borne any fruit in tho way of professed conversions, but the general attitude of the Indians is much more friendly to the missionary and his teaching than it was a few years ago. ROUND I..VKK. Last autumn death entered the home of the Re". Hugh McKay, and carried away his infant and only child, and the hearts of the parents still yearn for their little boy. The health of the pupils has been good, and there has been no case of illness in tho .school uiiring the year, the average attendance, therefore, has been high in proportion to tlu' enrollment. The numbers are twenty-three on the roll, and an average attendance nt twenty-two. There are still about twenty treaty children on the reserve who are not attending school, and the only opening for them is in the Regina school, but the Indiau.s are urging upon the (lovernment that provision should be made for their maintenance in the Round Lake school, which is much nearer home, but this the Ciovernment has not agreed to do. The farm connected with the school not only gives the boys an opportunity of learning how to do farm work, but has been a considerable source of revenue to tiif school during the past year. The boys have, out of their own earnings, contributed about ^50 towards the support of the poor on tho reserve. ( ) n the reserves regular religious services are conducted at five places, and there is an occasional service at a sixth placo. The attendance varys from fifteen to thirty-tive. Mr. McKay says the most discouraging; part of the field is Shesheeps. The people there do not want a missionary. " We oaniint hold meetings with them, for they will not attend. They tell us plainly that they wisii to live in the enjoyment of their own religion. They are much troubled about compul- sory education ; they are afraid of it, and the women think, when they see the mission ary, that he has come for their children, hence they dread and hate him. The people at the other reserves are more reasonable, although some of them still think that the meet- ing is not orthodox if there is nothing to eat. We have tried to change a little on this point, and ask them to give a collection instead of receiving one. The collection is on behalf of the poor of the reserve. They have no money, but they have the opportunity # 107 if liriiitjiii;^ II nihhit or ii jiriiirit! fhiikt'ii or miytliiiii,' t'lKn tliny oiiii H|iHr»>.

Whyte says : " The past year has been in many ways the happiest in piosont incuiiibencv. The attendance at church services has kept up. Tho church build- in)^ has been improved by a lining of lumber, which has added much to the appearance of its interior. The intercourse between missionaries and people has been very friendly. The years spent among the [leoplo have increased their confidence, and it would seem tiiat tlie natural antipathy to tho white man has been, t(j a great extent, overcome." In ■iddition to Sabbath services held more or less fretjueiitly at five places, there is a Bible- class on Monday evening, and a Christian Kndeavor Society on Friday evening.

The number upon the rcdl now is forty- five, and the average attendance for the year is forty-four, all of whom are provided for out of tho Government grant. A junior Christian Kndeavor Society has recently been organized, and the children are taking a great intere.st in it. The place of Win.

Our inissionjirios in this clifHcult fiold are in labcrs iibiind.iiit, uiul in spito 'if tlie fiieiny's most strenuous opposition, are seeing ir-lications of a oming liarvcst Tiieru lias lieen a considerable amount of sickues?, and again and again their Iijarts hive b';en made "^'iro by the loss of little ones, doul)ly precious because of their surroundings in that dark and weary land. Dr. McClure's daughter, Margery, died on the oLh August, and Mr. Miiclennan's daughter, Marion, on the ^Ist December. The .same disease proved fatal in 111 ith cases— dysentery followed by meningitis. Our prayer is that (J oil may givj com- tnrt in their great sorrow. Others who have been aHlicted are hapi»dy restored E,nd again I'Hu'aged in the work. There are in this mission three central stations -Chu Wai.g, (isin Chen and Chang Te— in which our missionaries are distributed. Eich of these LiMitral points is surrounded by a number of out-stations, that are regularly visited. The circle of out-stations gradually widens as the influence of the mission and ability to over- tiko the work increase. The area to be overtaken is boundless ; the HeMs are wide and «liite unto the harvest. The methods of work are substintially the sime at the dillorent, .st.vtion.s. J. Medical Work— At Chu Wang Dr. McOlure parformad during the year otit surgical operations. In one day he successfully operated for cataract and restored sight to six men who otherwise would have been hopelessly blind for life. Three d vys later four others were similarly treated in one forenoon. Thus within four days ten men were delivered from the awful doom of blindness in China. During the year 75 citaractous eyes had sight re-itore 1 by operation ; 52 had sight improved by the formation of an artitisial pupil ; and -SS had sight imprc.ed, or eyes saved from becoming worse, by operation for Euntiopion. The forenoon was usu illy devoted to surgical practice and the afternoons to other treatments. There were treated during the year 8,238 new patients, and 10,8(i<; return isits — in all 28,104 treatments. This number does not include the many who were turned away as hopeless. The one room in which all this work was done is only 12 ft. x 17 ft., with brick tlour and corn stalk ceiling. The operating table is a wide board on two wooden trestles, and the pillow a brick. In one day 210 have been treated in that apartment. As each patient has usually a friend or relative along, we can imigine the current of diseased and loath- siuiely unclean humanity passing through that small room, and the coi\dition of the atmosphere. Every reader will iusMnctively feel that they ought to have better ac-'iom- inodition for so great a work. At Hsin Chen Dr. Malcolm is doing similar work, but patients are not so numerous. Dr. Menzies has begun his work in Chang Te. Miss Dc. D jw has been employed amongst the women at Chu Wang, and has co-operated with Dr. McClure. 2. Chapel Work -These sick multitudes, many of them froui great distances, were ministered to in the street chapel every day. Some remained in the Hospital for two or three weeks, and some for months. During that time they were c.-.nstantly instructed in the Word of Life, and when returning to their homes, took tracts and Scripture portions with them. In Chang Te the chapel services were of peculiar interest. Mr. Goforth writes : " Our chapel has been open from eight to ten hours a day, the whole year. In it from * 4|iji|ii 170 thirty to forty tliousiiiid people h.ive lio;irJ iiioro or loss of tho Wiiy of salviitiou. Miiiy wore evidently coiiviuood of tho truth l)y the Holy Spirit. Interested ones came fiL,';iin and again. During the B. A. examinations throe or four thousand students were in tlu' city, and niiny of thorn carna to the chapel." Tiie oiieuiy as usual trie I to cause trouble by the circulation of vile reports, but no serious coiise<{uences followed. Enquirers weri.' persecuted and became more earnest than ever. At Hsin Chen the faith of the missionaries has been seriously tried. They write : " We have preached and taught so long and constantly that our message is to the nativis-^ as an ' oft-told tale.' It is so familiar in the town that little children mock us by sinuin^ snatches of the hynuis they have heard us singing. The devil has them so bound in un belief that their hearts remain unaft'ected by the truth they are so familiar with. Some of our nearest neighbors are our worst enemies, seeking to annoy us in every jjossible way, reviling us in the street, insulting us to our faces, and even gathering around the door of our meeting place armed with knives, and threatening to take the lives of the natives wli'i are with us. So that while we dej)lore the fact that we cannot tell of precious shelves safely garnered, we can and do with thankful hearts acknowledge that held. 5. Woman's Work — Large numbers of women hear tiie (Jospel daily in the Ilospitil at Cliu Wang. At Chang Te, during tho first four months ot the year, Mrs. (Jufortli says : " Tiiere was a wonderful time of seed sowing amongst the wouun, mvny thousands came »-ithin hearing of the Gospel. It was an opportunity for reaching the women, tin.' like of which would probably never return again in the history of the station. Every effort was therefore put forth to tell t'- j way of salvation to all who came. Curiosity, witli but few exceptions, brought them to us, but though they came only to see, many stayed hours listenting to the (iospdl, and in not a few instances returned again to leara more. In the early summer, vile stories were circulated about us, and prejudiced tlupjople, so that no woman who valued her good name dared come to us, and thus almost all who hid given us good cause for hope were kepi away." Thus the conflict continues. There are weary waitings, disappointed hopes, l)ut in the end, to the eye of faith, certain victory. IJi 177 FINANCIAL STATEMENT. TIlKASUKEil OF HONAN MISSION.

CENTRAL INDIA. India hns boon visitod by ])liiguo and faniitiu during tho year. The amount of sult'or. ing and mortality is appalling;. The con, remain who were fhero a year ayo. 'i'he result is only an averaj^e attendance of i', out of m onrohneut of 207. I'nder the present head teacher, Shaiitiibai, '.ho averiiye attendinoe is rising'. One of the teachers who has never broken caste and is therefnic called a heathen still, has many friends amongst the Bralnnin caste, and has taught tlifiii so much about Christianity that they are oa^er to learn moro. This illustrates the folly ol estimatinj,' results by the number on the communion roll. 6. Sewing Classes for Mang Women — Miss VVhito, who is in char<,'e of this class, is much encouraged by the progress made in sewing and knitting, but especially in Scripture knowled'je. Seven of the younger women have undertaken to learn to read, and others are inspired by their juccess. 7. Industrial Home — This ic suj)ported by the Congregation. It is in charge of Mrs. .loliory, who without salary or assistance carries on the work. The women are taught tn sew and knit so as to earn an honoijible living. Many are being transformed Inln Chrif^tian workers, who would have been outcasts. "They who a short time ago were regarded i tit only for the lowest dens of the city, aro today eagerly sought for as wives by our Christian young men and thty will in most cases probably, as wives, as teachers, etc., mori) than repay the Mission for all expended upon them, ctnd what of the happy eternity beyond, the j ;y in Heaven even now '. Tiiere are 'J4 in the ' Home ' now." 8. Zenana V'.siting — Mis.s >Vhito, accompanied by a Bible woman, visited 25 Hnidii and Mah((mi:)odan homes in whicli 7tt women were reached and interested. Miss (Jreir hii.l two lUble women engaged who went together, one day into Marathi and the next into Hindi, speakiug homes connected with tlie Marathi vnd Hindi schools respectively. They were kindly received in aimi« ail clas.ses of homes, but they chiefly labored amongst the middle classes. They made during the year 810 visits and came in ccmtact with 2,87'i women. Fanny work ia usually taught to gain entrance, but in these cases was not necessary, singing ..nd reading proving sulticiently attractive to secure a welcome. In cases in which Knglish is taught the missionaries must teach it, but that takes more time th.in they can well afl'ord. 9. Sabbath School Work — There are many of these. In the waiting-room of the Hospital 25 or WO mot and were led through the Life of Christ ; golden texts, the oomma'^/lraenl, hymns, etc., were committed to memory. None of them can road. " ss McKellar, Anniebai and a Bible woman did the work. A Sabbath School in the (!irls' Boarding School was in charge of Miss Oliver : \ Miss Chase, thus relieving Miss White for work in the College Sunday Schoo! number of the girls at these schools took prizes in the annual examinations by the S. S. Committee. There are in all about 24 Sabbath Schools in Indore, and at Christmas, etc., they can assemble SOO or 000 Sabbath School children in the College Hall. Such 'i sight gives hope for India. MHOW. I. Congregational.— There have been ISbajitisiis during the year, making a total mem- bersliip of G(». The Ghurcli has a Session and Deacon's Court, who seek to discharyt their respective duties. There have been a considerable number of candidates for baj- tism, who were enrolled as encjuirers. 181 2. Evangelistic. — Thrro iini nvor lOO vilIu<,'eH about Mhow which iiro '•isitenaries under whoso general direction the work is carried on." The Bible in all these educational insti- tutions gets a prominent place. 5. Primary Schools. Besides one in connection with the High School, there are three tiranch schools, on the rolls of which are in all 2')1 pupils. Miss Ross writes that the bazaar school has an average attendance of 103, in which childre»" are taught in Hindi, Irdu and Marathi. At Krishnapura school about 40 attend, and in CJaribpura school there are from 17 to 20. Miss Calder is engaged in this work in very unsanitary buildings. 6. Boys' Home. — This is intended to accommodate the sonsof Christians in the villages where education is not obtainable. Ten boys were in the Home, under the care of Mr. Anketell, the head master. Miss Calder teaches them to sing. 7. Sunday Schools— There are in all 12 boys' Sunday Schools. There is an average attendance of .'J21 in the large school in connection with the High School. 8. Chaplaincy. — This is now in charge of Dr. J, Frazer Smith, whohas been atjpointed treasurer of the Mission. The services are for the soldiers, and conducted in English. DHAR. Our missionaries in this field have been graciously protected in the midst of two epidemics— one of smallpox and the other of cholera. In the work there has been little iipposition, and there are indications of progress. I. Native Congregation — Mr. F. H. Russell reports eleven baptisms during the year, and there are on the communion roll twenty-five in good standing. Out of their slender oarnings some give a tenth for the Lord's work amongst their own people. They support H worker amongst themselves, and have also purchased land (8100) in the hope that soon they may get a church, which they much need. The services at present ire conducted on the verandah of a dispensary, which neither protects from sun nor rain, nor from deafening noises on the street. A church would cost about §700. 2. Evangelistic Work— In the city of Dhar services ara conducted at each of twenty- tive points, about twice a month. To the surrounding villages within a radius of eight or ten miles visits were made as freus(n visittul, and '.)^>7 vihiti to thoso lioiisos ; .'t,7'*IJ piitioiits troiitod in the (lispeuHiiry, and ll.l'.U troatmunts.

Kach of these visits represents |)er.ioiial oaniost talks with one or more al)out till' .soul's salvation. The elt'ort is to acquuint the women in these homes with as much as pcosible of S('"i|)turo truth and lend thom to Christ. Visits are often cordially received, but often iiitirrupted by the interference of friends, who threaten what in this country would be culled " tho boycott, ' unlo.is the visits of the Christian teachers are discontinued.

But taking the noble reply of one of China's greatest philosophers, above quoted, raising the terms "benevolence and righteousness " to their highest power — a power undreamed of by any sage not twice-born —and declaring the promulgation of these by lip and life as our only concern, we thank God and take courage.

Since the re-o[)eniiig the attendance lias been very encouraging, averaging about twenty e.ich night for live nights per week. {d) f7/tioH.- --Until October the attendance avera,'el twenty per night.

Ther'^ are liore two bands of ladiaiis— the Sheshahts and Opitslieshahts — about 225 in all, located less than a niilo from Alberni village. Girls' Home— The new buildini,' has been a <;reat boon to this work. It is intended to acconunodate from 40 to 50 ^irls, and under the management of Miss Johnson is a real "Girls' Home." It is beautifully situated on the Somass river, at the head of the Alberni Canal, and within siL^ht of the per{)etnal snow.s. There are 27 children in the Home, about one half the number beiiii^ boys. Miss Johnston says : "The girls who have been uitli us two or three years excel in bread making, laundry work, knitting, dressmaking, etc., and are becoming proficient housekeepers. Those girls go home every Saturday and teach the younger married women, so that got)d bread, nicely i)repared food and clean homes, are becoming the order in the Indian villages. ' The children are fond of music, the eldest boy, Harry, presiding at the organ at the regular Sabbath evening ser- vices, conducted by Mr. Taylor, the Home Missionary at Alberni village. They liave Sabbath School and evening services at the mission, and in the afternoon attend service in the church in the village, about a mile away. They also hold praiEC services in Indian homes, as opportunities offer. Six of tlie girls ex^jressed a desire to bi baptized, which was a great encouragement to the teachers. Day School — The school-house stands a few yards froui the 'iirls' Home. Mr. Armstrong had charge of it during the tirs'. half of tlie year, and proved herself, tliere as elsewhere, to be an eftioient teacher. She also worked with zeal in behalf of the Indian women. Mr. John Ross is now in charge of the scliooi, and ^so teaches the boys industrial work during a portion of the day. Mr. Ross, in addition to the day-school, attends to all outside work connected witli the mission, and is gradually leading the boys into lielpful- iiess in that respect. '< too Deaths— From the two smiill Iiidimi bfiiuls — ivbout '225 in all — de.ith claimod 'J I during the last year. ;,, Four of these were pupils in the school — three girls and one hoy — besides a baby girl adopted by Mi.ss Johnson, because motherless, and also because slii- wished tliejolder girls to learn how to care for a little child. Drink — Tlu India"" h..vf been trying to protect themselves from the drink curse, and with considerable success ; but the white man is theii enemy in this respect as in many others. UCLl'KLET. Miss Armstrong took charge of the school in Xovomber, having beon up to that' date in charge of the Alberni .school. I'duelet is a small village, on a rocky promontory on the Pacific coast, in which live the I'cluelaht tribe, about 200 in all. Miss Armstrong lives with Mr. Swartout's family, a considerable distance fr(jm the school. The shore is heavily wooded with pines and the tide rises within a few feet of the door of their home. She accordingly, in order to get to the schoo', has to follow a trail through the woods, which is exceedingly rough. Being a day-school, there is no way of securing the attendance of cliildren but by winning their conKdence .tnd affection. Yet she has an enrollment of .'i2, and an average attend- ance (/f 18, which is exceedingly encouraging. The children are bright and quick, and more willing to speak English than at Alberni. The agent speaks of this as one of the best Indian schools on the Pacitic coast. Miss Armstrong has already ac((uired enough of the Indian language to be able to hold some intercourse with the Indian women. Evangelistic Services — -Mr. Swartout when at this point was able to hold regular services, but since his removal to Dodger's Cove, returns every .second Sabbatli. A young Indian, named Septice, was baptized by the Rev. Mr. \Vinche.ster on the 2nd of April, who gives promise of being exceedingly useful. He has been holding three prayer meet- ings a week in his own house for his people,' and makes occasional trips to other tribes, besides taking Sabbath services in Mr. Swartout's absence. DODGER'S COVE. This island is 17 miles south of Ucluelet in the Barclay Sound, and is inhabi':ed by the ()hiaht| band, about 200 in all. Mr. Easton, who began work among.''t them withdrew last autumn, and Mr. Swartout took up the work, leaving his family at Ucluele-. The children are not numerous, and they must cross a body of water before they can reach the building at present u.sed as a school, and, besides, the building is itself unsuitible In addition to that, the school is frecpiently interrupted by the fact that Mr. Swartout's attention is divided. He still visits Uclueh', and also the Alberni Indians (Sheshahts), who spend part of the year for fishing purposes on an island lying between I'cluelet and Dodger's Cove. Notwithstanding that fact there is a distinct im- j)rovement as to the drinking habit, and as to their appreciation of what Christianity means. They begin to see that being Christians means breaking away from old customs, which arouses increased opposition on the part of some, whilst others are drawn towards the light. But here especially at Ucluelet there are signs of life, although the mission is very young. In order that Mr. Swartout maj^ be able to do his work effectively ard have his family witii him a new house must be provided, which will serve as scliool, church and home ; all of which can be done at no great ex|.enso. ABOUSAHT. Tills Indian village is 38 miles north of Ucluelet, having a pojiulation somewhat less than 300. The Missionary, Mr. J. W. Russell, began work in December, 1805.

Chinese Schools. —There l(i schools in all in Montreal— 12 in churches on the Sabbath day, with an average attendance of 'J4 scholars ami 21 teachers. There is a ten- dency to centralizati(m, the attendance at certain churches being very large. If ninrf teachers were available more pupils could be secured. The church schools are in Knox, St. Paul's, Stanley, Crescent St., Erskine, Chalmers. Calvin, St. Mark's, St. Giles, St. Mathew's, and American churches ; and all without expense to the committee. Teachers have been very earnest and faithful, and amongst thorn are some of otlun denominations. This, with the practical sympathy of the pastors, has much 'odovith the success of the work. Church Membership.— There are seven in the full membership of Knox Church, and many are intellectually convinced but have not yet made open profession. .Miiny heathenish practices have been discontinued, because of this Mission, which prevail in other cities. There are in Ottawa two, and in Toronto three, in church membership, the result of effort organized by Dr. Thomson. Means Used. — CiM'responuence, distribution of Chinese literature, addresses ;it meetings in churches of all denomin.itions, Chinese entertainments, visiting of Chinese women by Miss Thomson —who is in charge of the day and night school — are some of the means adojjted, supplemental to regular Sabbath and week-day services. Macco Mission. — It has been decided to stiU't a mission at Maceo, China, the region whence Chinese in Canada come. It is to be supported by the W.F.M.S. of Montreal. and is to be under the supervision of the CantMi Mission of the American Presbyteriun Church (North). During the last year the Chinese of tlio United States contributed SIO.OOO for the erecticm of a heathen temple at the very point where our missicmai'y, Dr. Thomson. wanted to buy a chapel, then available for STo. There are now about 15,000 Chinese in Canada. Many of them are interested in their own people, and will contribute to give them the (iospel, learned by themselves in Canada. This mission will be an important bond between the work here and in their home land. In that light the Christian wmk done for the Chinese in Canada becomes very important. Rev. Mr. Dewey, Convener of the F. M. C. of the Presbytery of Montreal, writes ; — "The work among the Chinese in Montreal has enjoyed another ye«r of encouragement. Dr. Thomson, ably assisted by his devoted wife;, has labored with great zeal and tidclity in this ditticult Held. Twelve Sabbath schools iiave been in operation, with an attendance varying from six to one hundred and fourteen. The congregations of the city have con- tinued their sympathy and co operation, providing the large staff of volunteer helpers necessary. Several from other denominations assist in teaching, so much are they interested 19.1 ill tlio W(trk. The collections at the Siihbath schools amounted to !i?r).'{7 4S, durini,' the year, oilier contributionH, which have been Hociirod thr(>ii;,'h this work, raise the amount to over .^l.OOO. This shows that the work is almost self-supportinj,'. A service, conducteu ill Chinese, is held every Sabbath eveninj,' ; and several of the men are in fellowshi,) wii' si'iiie of our congregations. Many dillicultiea have been mi.'t with, and tliere is miic; l. try rlie faith of our devoted workers. Miss M. E. Thompson resumed work in the day-school in September last. She reports that the evening school has been attended by as many as eighty scholars— (|uite treiiuently by sixty, but at other times the number is small, the average being twenty- nine. The morning attendance is about tifteen. The pupils make satisfactory progress in reading, writing and singing. A class of six read the Bible very v/ell, and are appar- ently much interested in it ; and it is hoped many may be brought to give tht mselves to the Saviour through this work. Miss Thompson has been assisted by several very faithful volunteer workers. We are greatly indebted to Mr. David Yuile for his generous iilu'rality in bearing all the expenses of the mission premise d jK.rt of the salary of the teacher. Contributions from St. Paul's, Krskine and the m •• an churches hav«! pro- vided almost the entire salary of .Miss Thompson. Our work is highly appreciated by the Chinese, it ;ii'. resting and helpful to those who assist in it, and and has been honored of ." /•^- %K 19', MISCEIJ.ANKOUS. 1. Tluj W. F. M. S. (E.

The Rev.

The Board ha.s had under consideraticii the feasibility of erectinp a suitable building' tor :he valuable library now stored in the class-rooms and other parts of the Colle;fe. It is considered that such a bnildinjr should he of lirc-jiroof material, and that it mi^jht contain accommodation for a tryinnasium and additional lecture-rooms which, on occasion, minht be converted into .i convocation hall. The desirability of such a liiiildintc has l)een atlirmed by the Board, and the General Assembly lire hereby asked to allow the Board to jiresent to the Synod of the Maritime Provinces a plan for -(■curinjx the same, and authorize the Synod to order steps for its erection, should they consider it wise to do so.

VlIE HEPOHT OF TIIK SENATF, OF TIIF FRESBYTERIAX COLLEGE, HALIFAX, The Senate ot the Presbyterian College, Halifax, hetrs leave to stihmit to the General Assomlily the follov'nt; report regarding the work of the \r.\<, session. The total iinmher of students has hoen 46 Of tliese, 14 were uf the thiid year, 8 of the second, and 'J4 of hoth dcpartint-nts of the (irst year. Tlie attcndanee has, on the whole, been regular, the coiiduet ot the students has ln-en exem]ilary, and results as determined by the written examinations will compare very favorably with those of any i)reeeding term. In the Senior (^lasa in Church History, which has been attended by twenty -two students, the Ceaeral History of the Chri.stian (^hureh from the Uefonnation to the present time has been stiuiicil in eonneetion with the Text-Hook on two days of each week. On other two days the history of the oeottish Church from the lourth century has formed the subject of lecture and oxaminatioii. Attention lias been directed to the history of the Ohic Church down ti. th? time of Malcolm am! Margaret in the end of the eleventh century. The history of liio Mediaeval Scottish Church wa^ jia.s-ed over slii htly, because containing little to ilistinguish it from the Mediteval Church elsewliert, This was folio ved by the history of the Scottish Reformation and of tlie Reformed Church down to the death of James the First in 1625. This Second Period included first, the struggle with Popery, then with Prelacy ; then, the introduction of the first Episcopacy, folloived by the passing of the Perth Articles. In the class of Homiletics, also attended by twenty-two students, lectures were delivered lui two days of each week on Preaching as a part of Practical TlieoloL'y and as a Sacred Rhetori under the heads of Matter, Form and Exjiression ; the first referring to the Subjects of Preachiii:: the second to the Structure of Sermons or Lectures, anil the third to the subje<'t of Style ainl Elocution. During part of the session exercises in the pre]>aration of outlines of Sermons ami Lectures, which were delivered without manuscript, and criticisoil at an additional and separate hour, were ]ire»cribod. During the remainder of the session, at the same hour, the discourses reciuired by regulation of the Church were read and criticised. The work in all tliese classes was carefully attended to by the students, as was proved l)y the superior excellence of the examinations. TTie Junior Hebrew Class, which was attcndeil by 12 students of the tirst and second divisions of tlie tirst year, met live times a week and went through Davidson's Hebrew (iraniniar ami Reader twice. The Senior Hebrew and O. T. Exegctical Clas.ses, consisting of 22 students of the second inid third years, met four times a week. Two day.s a week were devoted to the study of Hermeneutics, This study was conducted by a text-book and a course of lecturos. One hour a week was devoied to Advanced Hebrew, Special attention was given lo sight reading, the accentual system, and the liiglier syntax of the language. The LXX. and Vulgate were almost lonstantly used, and their divergencies from the Massoretic text were noted, and, so far iis possible, accounted for. Some time was devoted to Biblical and Targumic Aramaic, One hour a week was devotcil to O. T\ Int'o.liie- tion, when leciures were given on Daniel and five of the Minor Prophets. Sncli subjects as d;iie, aiithorshi[) and integrity were dincussed, .in analysis of each book was given, the biblical theoh>;:y was indicnted, and hints were thrown out regariiing the homiletical use of the varioas sections. I'.ach of the students of the third year prepared a Hebiew Critical Exercise, During part of I'le term an advanced class met an hour a week and read the Aramaic of I'.zra, Covering the work of both the above classes two written examinations were conducted '.vi:!; verv satisfactorv results.

Members of the Faculty have generally been present at the meetings of these societies, and have taken part in the ]iroccedings as occasion required. It may be noticed that the standard of attainments in preliminary studies is gradually rising.

Or. one day a week the class was ie(|uired to jiarajjhrase a puition of the first Kpistle nf I'eier, and in this way nearly the whole F^jistlc was read. Greek Critical Exercises were received from the students of the second year. An advanced class was held once a week, which was voluntary hut well attended, and in this a series of lectures was friveii on the jiook of tiie Hevelation. The Junior Class met on live days a week with an enrollment of CS. The attendance in a few i;.. tancts was not as rejiular as could he desired. However, the work done was such that one can uiihesiiatingly rank this as a year of very good standinj;. Twice a week the (jospel of Luke was read, especial attention heiriir K'^'cn '<• fhe narratives of the Iniancy and the (Jalilenn ministry. {^hapters IX-XVIII were omitted, and the close of the i.ospel was laKen in ('onnectinii vvith the history of the I'assion as narrated in the four accounts. A few It'ctmes were eiveii on the teaching of Jesus a^' to the Kini^dom of (iod. <>n two days a week, arid hy an occasional lecture on a third day, the Ciosi)cd '' 'olin was read. For part of the session Ttxtual Critieisin was dealt with as in Huiiiinond's T \;l'ook. Instruction was given in F.loctitioii during five wecKs. The graduating class met on tw(j days a week for instruction in practical suhjects such as how to dispense ordinances, marry, conduct session nieotiugs, etc. The Senior Cliiss met on four, and the Junior Class on throe days a week tor Elocution. The attendance was regular, and the marks attained in the written examinations <;nve evidence of good progress. Besides the routine of ordinary class work, the students have attended societies whicli have had for their object intelleetuai 'ulture and ['ractieal training in Church work. At the meetings of till' Theological Society jiapers heat 'ng upon important topics have heen re.id and discussed, and the influence exerted hy ihe Missionary Assi,ciati(jn has already heen productive of great good. If iiiy one feature of the last session is (ieserving of special notice it is the intensifyiiiL: of the ,Mission- ,uy spirit. Members of the h"aeult\ have generally beeJi present at the meetings of these societies, and have taken part in the proceedings as occasion re(|uired. It may he noticed tlia' 'he standard of attainments in preliminary studies is gradually rising. With one or two exceptions tlie niemheis of the prsent graduating class have taken degrees in Arts in Dalhousie College or some other aceredi'^ed ii'.as.-ed to rlic dcyree of M. A, This advance in the Arts Course is telling with beneficial effect upon attainment in theological work. This year five members of the graduaiing class have •uccessfuUy passed rigid examinations f((;.!>7. The (ioveriKira of Mcrrin CoUef^'e have much pleiiaure in bein;,' iililo m ri'|n>rt lo tlio \ uneriiblt' tlie ( iencriil Assenil)ly, that tlio work of the la.st .Session liiis jnesenteil hcviumI ffiilures of an unusually cheerinj^ character. Includiiif^ students taking special lines of sUidy, eighty-seven were ree )r(led as enrolled it the meeting of Corporation held in mid- winter at Mc(iill, with which University Mon m is a!tiliated, and that number was in- creased to consider. ibly over one hundred during tlie succeeding part of this Session. Kight of the regular undergraduates have in view the oliice of the sacred ministry, uid three of these received regular lectures ami passed respectable examinations in Syste- matic Divinity, Church History and Apologetics, while five pursued studies in Hebrew. Tn addition to the work done in the usual Arts Department, mucli interest was awakened by special courses in Biology, under the llev. T. W. Fyles, F.L.tJ. ; in I'olitical Economy, under L. R. Holmes, Kscj., H. A., of Cambridge, England ; in Applied riiemistry, by the newly appointed Professor, A. E. Macintyre, of Jena ; and, al)ove all, by the enthusiasm created for the study of Modern Languages under Pn^fessor Gunn. In addition to the existing statl' of six regular anil two honorary professors and lec- turers, the Board has engaged a seventh, in the person of the Rev. .John Sharp, M. A., to lake charge in part of the classes in Philosophy and English, in relation to which depart- ments Mr. Sharp gave evidence of singular litness during the Session of JS95-!I(1, and from whose appointment as a member of the College stafi', the (.'overnors anticipate marked advantages to the course of study. With this addition the .Arts Department may \w considered to be not insufficiently ec|uipped in all of its essential branches, and the Board of Governors have in view adding, with ,- like aim, to the regular staff in Divinity. To accomplish this aim they have already taken steps to increase the Endowment Fund, and expect to have secured a material increase to their resources ere the lapse of another year. Placing at the service of the Church, as they do, a valuable property free from all incumbrances of debt, and a fund already adequate to the providing of a staff" of seven devoted and competent (jrofessors, and occupying ground in the very midst of a popula- tion, for the winning of whom to purer \iews of the (lospel this venerable court has insti- tuted a distinct branch of missionary effort, the Govern(jrs venture to deem themselves entitled to the confidence of the General Assembly, and to a larger measure of symijathy and assistance than has heretofore been rendered. Neither during the days of the tirst honored Moderatt)r of this Court. Principal Dr. Cook, was Mnrrin College burdenscune to the Church, nor does it now aspire to occupy a position .so irksome. Simply the Governors cherish the belief that their efforts to develope the ideas contemplated by its founder merit recognition, and they are not without hope that such recognition, in prac- tical ways, will not be withheld by the highest Court of the Church. It is their hrm de- tiTmination, in humble reliance on the tJreat Head, to spare no toil to render the insti- ' iition uwider their charge a successful means of promoting the cause of education, and also of ministering to the advancement (jf the temi)oral and spiritual interests of the com- munity amid which it is situated, and of the Dominion at large. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. H. COtJK, iliairmnn. ^K'EBL( , 1st May, 1897. ARCHIBALD LAL'RIE, Serntani-Trea.-iyiyr. 4i w;i' MOIllilN CnLLK(}K. CASH STATK.MKNT.

In doin^' so tliej' express their j,'ratitudc' to the(Jreat Head .1" the Cliurch for the continued prosperity of the institution. Ao apiiears from the Senate Report, tlie number of students in actual atton-Janco last si'ssion was HO, of whom 18 completed the course necessary for license. The Board are j;ratitied to state that they have again heen able to end the year wiih- niii indebtedness in the Ordinary Fund. Upwards of Sl.OOO.OO were expended ir, con- nt'ction with certain necessary rejiairt to the buildings. Owing to a legacy of ."*'.(()0.()0 i.*l,000, less U) per cent. Government ta.\) received from the executors of the late Mr. A. C. Lyslio, of Montreal, this special expenditure has been defrayed, and there remains H balance to the credit of the Ordinary Fund of S127.78. The Endowment F\nid has been slightly increased during the year, and now stands at ?l!(l,()5(). 11, whicii is invested according to thv^ appended statement of the Treasurer. Tlie Uoard are gratilioil in again l)eing able to repori that they have never yet had to fore- close a mortgage, and that there is not a single dollar of interest in arrears, all of the ('iillege investments being in every respect first-class. The generous friend who, during the last tive years, at his own expe net in full the .salary (»f one ''" the Profe.ssors, has kindly agreed to continue doi lor another yi'ir, in the hojie chat before its expiry the Chair may be endowed. The term for which the special subscriptions rece'ved from friends in Montreal and elsewhe.-e for the past tive years, for the support of the Chair of Exegesis, having expired, the Hoard are seeking a renewal of these for another term of live years, and trust that this eli'ort will becrf)wned with success. This is, howexer, a somewhat precarious source of revenue, and it is earn- estly hoped that upon the return of business prosperity this Chair may be endowed by tlie friends of the institution. The Rev. Principal MacVicar availed himself during the year of the leave of absence kindly granted him by the General Assembly of 1803. He spent the greater part of the past suiiuner and winter in Britain anil on the Continent of Europe. It is a suliject of general lojdicing, not only to the members of the Hoard and to the students, but to all the friends 'if the College, that the Principal has returned strongly invigorated, and it is earnestly Imped that he may be spared for many years to administer the affairs ')f the institution. Tlie Hoard desire to place upon record their appreciation of the valuable services rendered by the Rev. Dr. Barclay, of St. Paul's Church, Montreal, who, in the absence of the f'lincipal, conducted the classe.'' in Systematic Theology last session.

The TnisteeB submit to the (ieneral AKHembly the report i)f the tifty-ttixth Hessinn of the Uni- veri-ity. They Ijelieve that it will be found gratify in^; from almoHt every point of view. The atteiiilance, especiiilly in Theolo»{y, was large ; the atlininistration haH been so economical that the yi'ftr'H accounts show a small surplus ; there is a fair prospect of an additional Professor in Theology liein^' secured next year, and the spirit of the students is all that coiild be desired. I.— Attkndance. The number of students rei^istered in the different Faculties, not counting those in afKliate<1 iiiHtitutions, was 5(i7 ; as compared with /)G4, 5.'W, 45l) and 4.J2 in the four preceding years. The iiniill increase in the total this year is due to the fact that the unmatriculated and the Medical students are fewer in number than formerly. We h»ve only twenty-four unmatriculatud students, a smaller proportion probably than in any other Canadian University, The following are the names of the students in the Faculty of Theology, forty-nine in all, or the lar^^est number ever registered in the Faculty : — First Feac— James Abrey, Robert Burton W. H. Cram, B.A., A. M. Currie, P. W. Carrie, Samuel McL. Fee, William M. Fee, H Feir, B.A.. J. K. Frizell, W. Guy, G. H. Lowe, B.A., •li.hn Munro, Alex. .1. McNeill, F. A. Mcllae, A. W.

Partly because of an increased amount received from fees, and a small increase in the collections fnim congregations, and partly berause of an enforced economy which dispensed even with the ser- yicts of the Watkins' Lecturer on Elocution, the year's accounts show a small balance to credit. This surplus not having been expected, an appeal was made to graduates for special contributions to avert the anticipated deficit. Four hundred dollars were contributed for the purpose, and it is determined— with the consent of the donors— to put this sum aside as the nucleus of a reserve fund ta prevent as far as possible any deficit in future. In view of this determination, the accumulated deficiency of previous years — amounting to nine thousand dollars, caused by shortage in the contri- butions from the General Assembly's Fund -may now fairly be added to the sum tasked from the Church this year. Having contributed in the past only from one-half to three-fourths ot the modest mm of four thousand dollars sanctioned by the Assembly fifteen years ago, it in reasonable that an appeal to the Church be made to wipe out the deficiency which has thereby resulted. It is all the more necessary that this appeal should be responded to now, as the Board has been informed that the Grant of .'§2,000 per annum, hitherto received from the Temporalities T'und, will not be continued for more than two or three years longer. The statute declared that this sum was to he ])aid to Queen's in perpetuity, but the Fund baa been unable to meet all its obligations, and i.Jneen's in consequence will be obliged to suffer this heavy loss. The Board feels that at any rate it should not be in debt, when so important a part of the revenue is about to be cut off. In con- nection with this subject it may not be amiss to remind the Assembly that in regard to both of the sources of income from which our Theological halls derive their support, namely, the interest from invpstments and the contributions from congregations, (iuoen's receives much less than the Colleges in the same territory, east and west. After twenty-two years of Union, and after the frank resjionse of the Board to the request of the Assembly for control of the appointments to the Theo- logical Faculty, this state of things cannot commend itself to the best thought and heart of the ''hurch. III.— Additional 'Puokessor. The necessity for an additional Professor in Theology has been admitted again and again by the Assembly, but the Board, resolute not to incur debt, has refrained from taking any action till the necesaary funds were subscribed, at least in measure. The General Secretary was instructed more than a year ago to collect for this sole object, and we are happy to state that his success has been such that it is hoped that an appointment may ba made and submitted for the Assembly's approval at an eiirly date.

'V\\v Rev. Trofessor (Jenrgo li Uohinaon, I'h.l)., and tho Uov. I'rofoHsor . lames liallantync, M.A., entered on tho duties of thoir respective Chairs at the l)e>,'inninL' of the Hossion, :iii(l have fully realized tho ajiticipations of tho Church as to their litness for their important jiositiona. Tho IJoard feels, however, that Professor liallanlyne has lieeii uvirburdened with tho care of two departments, and trusts that at no distant date he m;iv 1)0 relieved by the appointment of a now Professor in one of the subjects assiifnod to liini. The Hoard under thu power in that behalf contained in tho Charter of Incorpf)ra- tioii appointed tho Kev. R. H. Warden, D.D., to bo Treasurer, and the llev. William IWiriiH to be Secretary of the College, and desires to express its obligations to these gtMiiliiiien for the valuable services rendered by them in their respective departments. The Board regrets that tho llev. W. A. .1. Martin, who for several years discharged tlu' duty of Librarian with mujh satisfaction, was compelled by his removal to (Juelph to rt'si'^n his position. j Thu Rev. W. MacWilliam, LL.R.,ha8 been appointed Librar an, and under his charge the Library has been thoroughly reorganized and arranged. H is careful management and liiniiry ta.ste, combined with numerous purchases of new works obtained through the iiioniio arising from tlie be(|Ucst of Mr. MacLaren, of Ottawa, I-avo jilaced the I,ibrary in a Mitisfactory position. The lioard has at tho last session of tho Legislature of the Provinci! of Ontario, itl)t;iined an amendment to tho Act of Incorporation, enabling the Senate to confer after exiiinination the degree of H.D. on ordained ministers of the Church, who have not pre- viously obtained a degree in Arts. It is hoped that this may prove an inducement to iiuiiy of our ministers to pursue tlieir literary and theological studies still further after li'.ivihg ('olloge. The same high standard of attainment will be re(|uired from them as 13 iiMW maintained in the case of University gradrates. The financial year of tho College opened with a deficiency of .?(),67<).34, and a.s the ye:ir advanced this adverse baknce was largely augmented by the increased expenditure I'uTi.sioned by the appointment of now Professors and other charges, until at one time it iiiu lunled to fully $15,000. The Board is thankful to be able to report that from the col- lection of arroivrs of interest by the Treasurer on various securities, the liberality of friouds of the College, and the receipt of a legacy of $2,000, from Mrs. .laciiuoline Lesalio, an old friend of the College, the doticiency has disappeared, and the Treasurer is porniitted to close his account with a balance of 8249.70 in favor of the College. The Treasurer's statement hereto appended, affords full information as to the various items uf receipts and disbursements in connection with tho different departments of the Collowe Work. i> While the year closes so favumbly, the Church must not overhjok the fuct tlmi tlio result htis been brought about not through the ordinary sources of revenue, but by sub- scriiitions from private individuals, varying from .$1,000 downward, and by the beiiiiust of Mrs. Lesslie. The estimated re(|uirement8 of the College for the year 18!>7-!tiS will be about 821,000, and the Hoard can rely only on the two ordinary sources of Cci!lc;;i. revenu', namely, the interest fn)m investments and congregational subscriptions. From this it will be seen that congregations cannot relax their eHbrts, and mu.st stri^ve tn in- crease their contributions. The continual fall in the rate of interest and the abnnniial decline in the value of securities, combined with the dithculty of finding suitable invi'st- ments, greatly reduces the income from the Endowment Fund. In tact, the addiridii of ^100,000 to this fund, would be re<|uired from the fall of the rate of interest alniif. to bring the revenue from that source to the amount received some years ago. Tlio Hoard observes with regret that upwards of three hundred congregations contribute nothing for College purposes, and many more remit exceedingly triHing ain. M. MacKav, B.A., J.

The Board is also of one mind with till' Senate that steps should he taken, without unnecessary delay, to secure an addition til the teaching statiOf the College. This is in full accord with a res>lution pas.sed by the Synod of Manitoba and the North-VVest Territories at its last meeting. The mahing of .such an addition will, of course, necessitate an increase in the annual income of the College. All which is respectfully subm tted. T. W. TAYLOR, ('lidinnnii. Winnipeg, 'Jlst May, 18il7. REPORT OF THE SENATE OF MANITOBA COLLEGE FOR THE YEAR 1890-97. The Senate of Manitoba College begs leave tf) submit to the General Assembly the fallowing Report regarding the work of the year. That work has pnjceeded continuously i ince the date of the last Report, with the exception of the mouth of September. For a portion of the time the Theological and the Literary Classes have had to be conducted contemporaneously. The number of students in attendance in the Theological Classes ia this year twenty- tliree, thirteen in the fiist year, six in the second and four in the third. The number enrolled in the Literary Classes has been one hundred and .seventy-seven. The aggregate attendance has thus been two hundred. A severe illness, by which Professor Hart was overtaken last summer, rendered it imperative that he should be relieved from duty during the Session, to open in October. Happily, rest and change have already in large measure restored his health, so that the College may anticipate his return to work in I )ctober next. His classes have been efhciently taught in his absence by two of the ijraduates of the College, both of whom had previously had considerable experience in teaching. The health both of Professors and students, with the exception mentioned, has been well maintained. The conduct of the students has been exemplary and their diligence as a whole very gratifying. It is hoped that when the University examinations now in progress are completed, Manitoba College will be found to have maintained the liigh place which it has so often taken. I. THE THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. The number of students reported to last Assembly as in attendance in this depart- ment when the Report was presented was twenty-seven. Of this number, nine completed their Theological course at the close of the Session ; eight are now at work in the Synods t if Manitoba and the North W^est Territories, and of British Columbia; the ninth re- turned to Algoma, where he had been previously laboring. During the Session referred to (IH'.KJ), the College had the advantage of the services iif Professor McLaren, D.D., of Knox College, and of Professor Beattie, D.D., of Louis- \ille Seminary. The important department of Systematic Theology was conducted entirely by these brethren, the one taking the work in the earlier part of the Session, tlie other in the later. Dr. Beattie gave in addition a course of Lectures in Apologetics. The subjects of Church History (down to the period of the Reformation) and of the Canon I if, and Introduction to, the New Testament were taken by Professor Baird ; by whom iilso a course of Lectures in Biblical Criticism was given, and a class in Hebrew conducted, which met every day and was attended by students of the hrst year. Dr. King conducted tl\y classes throughout the Session in Old Testament Exegesis, attended by the students of thi' second and third years, and in New Testament Exegesis, attended by the students of the three years ; in the former, portions of Leviticus and selected Psalms were read ; in tlie latter, the 1st Epistle of .lohn. Dr. King also delivered the second part of a course I'f lectures in Biblical Theology. Mr. .J. F. Evans, B.A., gave instruction in Elocution (luring the latter part of the Session, The students expressed their sense of the value of the training given by Mr. Evans. I.l^ A courHo of Lectunm on Hebrew P(jotry WHSj^iveii by Dr. George A ilaii. Smith, of tin Froo Church College, (llaflgow. The Lectures were iimrked by the complete knowle(lL;c of the 8ul)ject and all the charm of style known to belong to the Lecturer. To the stu dents and to the citizenn also who lietird iheni, ihe Lectures proved both instructive iuni inspiring. The students of Theology now in attendance are as follows : — Thinl Y('m:—¥. Hartley, H.A., Peter Strang, B.A., J, Hunt Jarvis, Williaiii Faryon. Sccdud Ye(tr.—R. M. Dickey, Thomas McAfee, Daniel Oliver, A. J.Stirling, H.A.. M. McKee, Hector McLean. Firnt Yi'ur. — Alexander Dunn, B.A., Piobert C. Pollock, .Joseph Ball, Wesley Akitt, William Miller, B. A., J. W. S. Lowery, J. H. Robertson, B.A., Alexander Sheplienl, William .J. Inglis, B.A., W. G. llussell, Sydney Campbell, Dugald Bell, W. F. (Jold. - MacDufl". During the current Session in addition to the lectures of Dr. King in Old Teataini'iit Exegesis, New Testament Exegesis and Biblical Theology, j is of opinion that an addition must iiliiiost immediately bo made to the permanent staff of instructors, and the Church may be u.xpected to bo asked to sanction such an addition at an early date. The requirements of the College in its two departments of Arts and Theology would be best mot by the apiiointment of a Professor, who should take the subject of Systematic Theology and at till' .same time take a large portion of the Philosophic teaching. The Inter-Collegiato work of instruction between Manitoba and Wesley College is still maintained with obvious advantage to both institutions. The students of Manitoba College, who are taking the special course in Mathematics, have received instruction from ht' Professor of Mathematics in Wesley College, while those of that College who aro liking the special course either in Philosophy or in Classics, have attended the lectures given in these branches in Manitoba College. The Societies connected with the College have been in efficient operation throughout the year. The Senate, in closing its Report, would again record its grateful sense of the good- ness of (Jod experienced by the Institution in many forms during the year. JOHN M. WiNNii'Etj, May 21, 1897.

The Committee on the Aifed and Intirm Ministers' Fund (Western Section) Iicif- to submit to the Asseml)l_y the followinfre. or at least many of them, fail to respond in an ade(|uate measure fii the neces";ilies of the fund. It is to 'oe feared that the claims of this most import- ant fund are lar?2().58i). Your Committee assumes no respon- -iliilitv for the investments formerly Uiade, since neither convener nor committee was consulted in regard to them. There are a few matters connected with the finances which will call for adjust- iiicnt liy the Committee, which could not very well be done up to this tiioe. AXNTITANTS AXl) AXNTITIKS. Seventv-six annuitants have received benefit from the fund during the vear, the total su'in being *U.!)97.1S. T'hree names a|)pear in the list for the last time, vi/.. : Revs. .T. C. Cavruthers, l>r.

Huffhes, formerly of Kosemount, and now in Worcester, Mass. r.S,. asks to continue his connection with the fund under the rules. The ('ommittee recommends that leave to do so be granted. The Committee judges it proper to brinif to the notice of the Assembly the fact that the Committee in its manajfement of the fund, and the rules laid down for its administration, have been made the subject of adverse and severe criticism, chitfly at the hands of writers who did not api)end theii- names to their letters. These were imblished in the Xorthcni I'rcshi/lcriini. The Presbytery of Paris ovei'tured the Synod of Hamilton and London in the same direction, and prayed the Synod " to overture the General Assembly to institute thorouo'h investitfation of the state of the fund, of the investments, of securities held, of losses incurred, cost of adminis- tration." etc. 'J'he Convener, while objectin.ij to answer charges made by anonymous persons, felt that the interests of the fund demanded that he should do so, and coitse(|uently lie replied through the same mecMum in which the charges a|)poared. He also attended the meetings of the Synod of Hamilton and London, and of Toronto and Kingston, and by the courtesy of these courts was permitted to dLscuss the fund iioth in regard to the rules and administration. It is hoped that much misconcep- tion has in that way been removed, and. possibly, some measure of good done to 'Ounteract the evil likely to result to the fund from the way in which the matter was presented in the newspaper correspondence and overture of the Paris Pi'esi)y- tery. The Committee has no objection to the fullest investigation being made, and will be glad to facilitate it in every way possible. SPFCIAI. GRANTS. ^ As has been done for some vears past, the following special grants have been made : To Rev. John McNabb. 150 : to Rev. W. C. Young, !?3(). It will probaldy not be out of place to refer under this head to the case of the >pecial .illowance voted by the last Assembly to the widow of the late Rev. Alex, rrquhart. The Committee, though not in funds to pay the amount, have done so ^iuce the closing of the accounts, which, of course, has added the sum of $17G.25 to the deficit shown in the tinancial statement. The convener has been directed by t;' 'i» the (y'onimitltio to eiill tlit; attention of tliti Assembly to tlie ^'reat danijer wliicli may arise from an action of this i,aii/ed as en<,'aifed in coijnate wmk. and preserve connection under rule 5, by payinj^' #10 per year.

Flett, John McEwen, .John McRobie, A. McDiarmed, Andrew Tolmie and Robert Grtiy be allowed to retire and go on the Fund for benefit. In view of the special circumstances in the case of the Rev. Geo. Flett, it is reconunended that his annunity shall date from the last Assembly. In regard to the case of the Rev. A. D. McDonald, D.D., while recognizing tlio precarious nature of his health, the Committee sees great difficulty in the way of granti .\i the leave asked for, and recommends that no action be taken in the meantime, inasmuch, as should he tind it necessary to retire, the case would come up at the following Assembly, and would therefore entail only a short delay. In regard to the case of the Rev. W. M McKibbon, as it may be found that yreat benefit will result feom entire rest, iu is recommended that he be placed on the Fund fur benefit for one year, his case to be again considered. The case of the Rev. Simon McDonald is somewhat peculiar, and is not provided fur •un \er the rules. Tlie committee, therefore, transmits the papers to the Assembly witii the recommendation that he be allowed an annuity of §50. Mr. McDonald had not paid rates. With regard to the application ot the Rev. H. Lamont, D.D., it is unnecessary to take any action, as it has pleased the Divine Father to call him to his rest and reward a few hours before his papers came bafore the committee. VVitli regard to the case of the Rev. D ivid Mitchell, who has been on the Fund from year to year, and the case of Rev. W. K.

"Tw.i remarks, however, thoy maybe permitted to make. 1. " ' J "ley believe that the duty of providing for a Minister's Widow and Oiiih.iiis should, in the first instance and to a large extent, rest upon the minister himself, and all tlie more, as the Church r.ow furnishes every minister with ample mefins for doing so. 2. " ' It seems to the Committee tliat the ett'ect of the adoption of the projiosal of tin' Overture would be to relieve ministers of tiiis obligation and to transfer it in whole or in pjvrt to some other (piarter.'

U9 KKPORT OF COMMITTEK ON THE DISTRI lU'TION OF PROBATIONERS. Your Committee have to report that they met regularly once every three months during the year just closing, made distribution ot the supply at their disposal among Presbyteries, according to the report of their vacancies, and transacted such other business as fell within their province. They are pleased to be able to state that their w(jrk has been through ^ut more pleasant than for some years past that confidence ill the Scheme appears to be increasing, and this it is hoped will increase after some additional improvements in its rej^uiations, or as these are more correctly and generally known and more faithfully enforced. For the inost part, or in very many instances, I'resbyteries do not seem to be acquainted with ics provisions, and this is particularly the case with the Moderators of Sessions in vacant congregations, and the Commit- tees of Supply in these when such are appointed One of the recommendatii ns with which the Report concludes bears on such. Your Committee think that it was a wise action on the part ot the last General Assembly to allow some measure of discretion as to admission to the roll of Proba- tioners. It will surely not be disputed that the roll should be composed of such as are eligible and likely to be called. If vacancies d'.sire to hear only candidates from whom they may be guided to seek a Pastor, those sent by the Committee should be such p are likely, one or other of them, to meet their expectations and present an acceptable appearance. Necessity has been felt in the course of the year to act upon the discretion granted, and to refuse one or two who were certified by Presbyteries, but whose work within their bounds was not such as to encourage the anticipation that they would be successful in other quarters. It was also judged prudent in the interests of the Scheme and of vacancies to drop a name from the list. Two whose names had been formerly on the list and had received appointments for the period allowed, namely, two years, applied to be replaced, but their request was not granted. In this it is thought the Assembly will concur. F"rom Appen ".i.x I. it will be seen that 80 Vacancies were reported during the year, some of these since the arrangement of the Scheme for the quarter now current. Of these, 41 were settled at the dates and by the persons recorded and 39 are still under supply. Appendix II. gives the number of Probationers on the roll whose services were at the disposal of your Committee, namely, 24. Of these, 4 obtained stated charges; j accepted appointments as Ordained Missionaries; i was dropped from the roil ; and I withdrew, leaving 15 on the roll at the present date. Your Committee would commend the Scheme or Act to the approval of this Assembly, and ask that it give the influence of its authority in favor of its faithful and impartial operation. RECOMMENDATIONS. I. That the Presbyteries be required to report all vacancies v»^ ;. they occur, or exist, in their bounds to the Committee, for some supply, either full ^ partial. II. Th:it the names of interim Moderators of Sessions in vacancies be sent by tlie Presbytery Clerks to the Convener of the Committee, that he may furnish them with a copy of the Regulations, and help them in the fulfilment of their duties. III. That presbyteries on the licensure of students to preach the Gospel recommend them to place their services at the disposal of the Committee for umploy- niciit in the regular way. I\'. That the attention of Presfjyteries be called again to the regulations in force guarding pulpits of vacant congregations from the undue preponderance in sup- I'ly by ministers in settled charges, or students.

The reixttt uiiw suliMiitted is the Hecoiid prosentoil to the ( Jonoral As3einl)Iy uiiiler till' [ilaii iid'iptod by thi.! Assoinhly thiit met in Loiuhm two years ngo. That plan aiinod at eoiiihinintf ami unifyini^ several departmonts of Churcli work, which had previously buL'ii adininisteved hy four separate committees. .Many were opposed to di.stiii'hiu!^ the old system, and expressed their fears that some branches nf tlio work mif^hl siitt'cr l)y ri'iison of iniide(]iiate treatment, not only from the (Jeneral Assembly, but also fmni ^^yiiods, Presbyteries and SessioiiR. It is now admitted that those fears have not been justified by (he results of the change so far ; and it is a cheering fact, well worth recordin;^, that the agreeable disai*- ]iiinfinent is on all liands frankly acknowledged. While, last year, many of the F'resby- tcry Reports freely criticized the A.ssemhly'a action, and on'; or two wore very jjronounced ill their expressions of hostility to the new plan, this year there is not a single niurnuir fmrn shore to shore, and many have expressed unfeigned satisfaction. I5ko( kville Presbytery voices the sentiment of sev(>ral reports when it says — " The radical change in the order of things instituted by the Assembly of 18!),") was not etlected without serious misgivings (m the part of many. The valualde report submitted to last A.ssombly, thou^di drawn up in the face of very gre-xt ditHculties, has served to convince not a few of the wisdom of the new order." In the introduction of the rejiort of Montkh^al I're.sliytcry these words ( jr : "Your committee do not think that in any previous year so much !ien-tines8 has been shown in the returns as has been manifested this year. In the iiiajority of cases Sessions have entered on the work of preparing their reports in a spirit nt earnestness, so that the task of examining them has been a source i)f real pleasure and stimulus." And Kingston rejjort has on its opening page this cheering statement : " Keplies are in almost every case characterized by thoughtfulness, carefulness, and a spirit that recognizes the im[)ortance of the subject. The monosyllabic answers which were at one time so common indications of ,eariness, inditl'erence, or a lush of business ciinie now only from one or two peaceful lural parishes." Similar sentiments might be 'luoted from other reports, but your committee deem these at once necessary and sufhci- ent to assist the Assembly in forming a correct judgment as to how the recent chani'c is viewed when judged by its fruits. The Committee prepared a series of questions early last November, and sent an ample supply to every Presbytery Convener for distribution to Sessions and Mission Stations. The Presbyteries of autumnal Synods were re(|uested to send their reports directly to Assembly's Convener, while those of the vernal Synods were asked to send a copy to S3 nod and Assembly Conveners respectively. In the former case the reason for this re(|uest is iibvious ; in the latter scarcely less so. The report for Assembly should be in proof form early in May, that it may be submitted to all the members of a Committee scattered over the entire Dominion. The reports of the May Synods are, therefore, too late to be aviiil- iibie for this draft report, though they should be received in time to incorporate any 15a m Hpeciul feiituios or iiii])()rtaiil rt'coinmendalionH in tliu tiiml furin, hh jirt'Seiitiil i, AsseiiiVjly.

No (|ueations were sent to our Foreiiin Mission Presbyteries, as many of the iiii|Uim's are olniously inapplicabU', and as every feature of their work receives copious treatment from the Forciif^n Mission Commi"ue. 'J'here are now fifty Home Presbyteries, and frmn every one of them a report has been received. These reports have all been carefully prepared, and some of them are very elaborate — that of Sarnia containing forty-tivf pages of foolsca)) closely written. Ijist year the number of Sessions responding {<< Assembly H circular was reported as very gratifying, about eighty per cent, of tliu organized Sessions having made returns. This year the proportion can hardly be less than ninety per cent. In sevtaal Presbyteries, such a« Whitiiv, Giki.iii, HitANOoN, (ii.KNHfiiio and PoKTACi: I.

In many other reports where numbers are not stated, great .satisfaction is expressed, as in St. John, Monthkal, Owen Soinu, Pakkik, Hamilton, Huuon and several others. In a few Presbyteries, however, the language nf complaint is employed, wliich seems to attain its maximum emphasis in the reports fdr Wai,la<'K, Ottawa, Tohonto and AuiOMA. The imi)rovemcnt in this respect isencourag iiig, and leaves the impression that our Sessions are becoming more deeply interesteil in the spiritual welfare of the people, as that is exhibited in devout lives, consistent conduct, and growing libemlity.

Great unanimity characterizes the reports so far as they refer to the Sabbath services. As regards this manifestation of Church Life there is everything that is hopeful and heartening. And surely we employ a legitimate method of measurement when we apply the reed of the sanctuary. Christian life, wherever it exists, will find some way of em bodying itself in visible form. Life of any kind will make its iiresence felt and known. The joyous lark springs upward to vent her gladness in lier morning song. Even the lifu that circulates in the stem and branches of the tree reveals itself in the openinu buds, expanding blossoms and the lipened fruit. And surely that highest life of all thiit thrills the bosom of Christian men and women, will in some way assert its presence and reveal its power. A conscientious attendance on the public worshif) of God is one of the most hofioful signs of the spiritual life of a community. It is a duty which Chr itia.i people owe to themselves, their minister, their fellow-members, and to the Lord wh' bought them. It is also a delightful privilege, and when deprived of it for a time by distance, sickness, I'l old age, there are few things for which Christians more ardently long than to see (iod's " power and glory as they have seen them in the sanctuary." Nor is there a more ( ain sign of spiritual decay in a church than when the members " forsake the assemblui, ■ themselves together." Hence there is much to evoke our heartfelt gratitude to God in the uniform test i mony of our Presbyteries that our people love the gates of 7' m, and, in increasing nuiu bers, throng her courts. Tkuko says, " Attendance on Sabb,. h services is well sustaineil ^56 i THK WKIK ami c'licourrtging, both lis to niunbers and iuterust. In no chso is any doclinu noticed, wliilc in sotno there liHs boon gmtifyini< increiise." Putol, " The great nifijority of our pfo|ilu luvo the gates of Zion, and their seats in the house of (iod are never empty except for H good and sufJicient reason." Bhcx'Kvillk says that, " judged by this test, religion is iidt Idsing its grip upon the masses. Increasing attendance and deepening interest be- speak a love for the habitation of (iod's House." (,)rKiti:(:, " Not a murmur as to attend- .luoe or attention." Kinoston reports that there is " everything that is gratifying," in rt'siiect to iSabbath attendance. H speaks of " great unanimity in regard Ui a grow- in.^' interest in tlie matter of Church attendance," and believes " there is positive evidence t(i day in Canada that the preaching of the Gospel st'll retains its ancient power to secure thf interest and attention of perishing men." London says, " The reports of Sessions are full of gratitude for the improvement in church attendance " ; and Vhtokia bears testi- mony that " the interebt in Sabbath services is deepening and on the increase." These are representative utterances and might l)e multiplied at pleasure. Thero is liardly a discordant note in all this gladsome peal of heavenly music. Hero and there wf tinil a solitary Session reporting unfavorably to its I'resbytery, as one in Pktei!- iioKoiiiii ' very inade<[uate attendance and great carelessness," and one in Ukuina that is tmuhled with a few "chronic nun-church-goers." But the general testimony is cheering beyiind all precedent. And .since it is admitted that the public service on the Lord's Day is the one directly sanctioned and enjoined by God, and the one on which special bless- ing's ;ire promiaed, our hearts may well be gladdened as we behold those Sabbath throngs reimiring to the fountains of living water, or hear them saying " I^et us go into the Hiiu.se of the Lord." But the week evening meetings for prayer, praise and mutual edihcation, have not bt'Lii utilized by our people as their fidelity to Sabbath privileges would lead us to expect. While many Presbyteries speak of fairly attended prayer meetings, and all acknowledge their utility in cheering the hearts, strengthening the faith, and beautifying the Mves of believers, yet it is evident that only a small proportion of our professing Christian p>'ople take advantage of this means of renewing their spiritual strength. MliiA.Micni rept 'ts that though in one congregation " the attendance at prayer meeting is doubled," in several congregations Church Life, when thus tested, is " well nigh zero, and men are conspicuous by their absence. " Halika.k says, that though this department of Church Life is not satisfactory, yet, with the exception of two congregations, the average tendency is towards ;,'rowth and increasing interest. Lanark and Rknkkew, while speaking in a subdued tune of the prayer meeting service, tells with a sigh of relief of " .some faithful men and women who stand by the prayer meeting, and who would rather want their supper than this mid- week meal." Hamilto' reports a small attendance "with but three exceptions," and nui;L;ests that social engagements are largely responsible for the failure. Paris utters a wail of sadness broken only by the report of one Session that says, " very well attended," l)ut, as if so strange a thing needed explanation, it adds, "perhaps a new pastor is the attraction" Sthatforo has a few oases of " splendid prayer meeting audiences," and Bull E reports prayer meetings to be "in mo^t cases satisfactory. " Five Sessions in Victoria Presbytery report that the "attendance is gratifying," but the general com- plaint is that too few of the male members attend. lint though these are far from being optimistic utterances, yet there are not wanting lua ■ indications of growing interest. Young people are becoming more attached to the midweek meetings than ever before. Where once only the very pious and aged were exjiected to attend prayer meetings, now are to 1)0 I'ound many of our young people listen- iiii,' ti) the old Gospel and often bearing testimony to its power in their own lives.

And this hn TIIK iHM.TI VATION OF liKMflfofS I.IKK IN TUK FAMILY. More we lay our fins^er on the woakost .spot, perhaps, of tho wiiolo reli^Mous life and oxperienco of our people. I'rom shore to shore a wail of sadness rises from ne'.,'lected family altars, and from ten thousand honujs where altars have never yet boon reared. Ami were we to dogmatically assert that family religion can in no sense exist apart from tho fdiiiial act of family worship, then might we shudder as we read the prophet's prayer, " I'oiir out Thy fury upon the heathen that know Thee not and ui)on the families that call not on Thy name." But the cry arising from these reports is one of disappointment and not of despair. This beautiful social and public life that has boon held up to our ',MZL', wo instinctively feel, must root itself in much that is true and pure in private and (1 niiestiG life. The Master Himself asserts mat "by their fruits yo shall know them," uiiii it holds in the spiritual sphere with all the force of a natural law, that " whatsoever a man soweth, ttiat shall he also reap." If, therefore, the outcome of our domestic life is siL'u so largely in consistent Christian conduct, and in an almost universal recognition of a rising tide of spiritual life among the young, then wo infer there must bo wholesome religious influences in most of our homes, even though they should exist more in the spirit of devotion than in its outward act, and more in a winsome example tha" "n formal instruction. While we deplore the comparative rarity of family w(jrship and would leave nothing undone to (juicken our people's consciences in this regard, yet there is very iiuich in the home life of our people for which we may well bless (Jod. Evjn tho family altar is by no means falling into desuetude, but is gradually, we think, becoming more pi'tential and prevalent. Syknky says, " tho reports concernin'r religious life in the family are generally more than encouraging." The Sessions of Invi;kness "are unanimous in the statement that family worship is generally observed morning and evening." M(jnt- lu.u, says tho reports speak on this "generally in a disappointing tone," and refers to the suggestion of one Session that the (Jenoral Assembly should be approached with the view of preparing a manual of devotion for use at family 'v-orship. H-VMii/roN reports that " Diily in a lew cases are answers given that reveal a satisfactory state of things, or any improvement ;" and sums up tho subject thus : " The ilischarge of parental duties, an.l the cultivation of religious life in tho family call for our sericjus consideration. I'areiits woefully neglect their duty, and religion in the family is at a low ebb, if these fei orts are correct. Time occupied in dealing with this vital aspect of our work would be well spent." Huuo.v says, " The honest ring about the answers may be judged from their general sadness in tone," though even that Presbytery can make some very precious and cheering quotations. Maitlaxd reports a " deepening sense of parental rosponsi- ? m 1 hility, nil iiicrciiHiiij,' duMiro for ifH fiiitlifu!

TluJiio says : " Tho ymin^ in this way become better iL'|Uaiiited with the Word of ur Committee hopes that such reports really indicate superior spiritual attainments, and not the lack of spiritual discernment or aspiration It may suthco to mention a few of the hindrances that are nvnt freipiently referred to a-j hurtful to the progress of the Gospel. There are a few mentioned tiiat arise from external circumstances, and that do not involve the moral element, as the isolated con- dition of the people in country charges, distance fnnn church, bad roads, frequent stDfius. This class of hindrances has not been taken much account of, and reference to the n cones chiefly from Wallace Presbytery. The moral and spiritual hindrances are, h'luever, exceedingly formidable, and may be regarded under two classes. External Hindkances. — Those forces thitt antagonize the Church in her aggressive work. As examples of those mentioned, we give the following : Intemperance, irreverence, inditi'ere'ice, unbelief, love of pleasure. Sabbath driving and cycling, rum-selling, dancing, levity, Sabbath excu''sions, impure literature, theatre-going, card-playing. This list might be indefinitely lengthened, but what is noted may well suggest the necessity of earnest prayer and ardent struggle. These forces of evil never pause. Satan never calls a truce. Scenes of wicked pleasure and haunts of vice never chjse. And surely we may expjct that Christians who believe in judgment to come, in hell with its endless night, in the loss of the Christless and impenitent, will neither be inditlerent nor pitiless, but full of zed to rescue the perishing. And yet, according to the information furnished, by far the ni'ist serious obstacles in the path of progress are : The Internal Hindrances, — Those that exist in the bjsom of the Church, and lurk in the hearts of many of (rod's professing peo[)le. ()f these also we can give only ex iinples, since their name is Legion : Tiie worldly spirit, spiritual [iride, spiritual aj) ithy, stiperticial views of sin, formality, reiding hurtful l)ooks that often sneer at fundamental gospel truths, love of ease, love of money, love of display, jealousy, want of aggressive- ness among church members, satisfac.ion with mere financial prosperity and numerical strength, the increasing relentless intrusion of worldly business and amusements, ignorant ;iti I arrogant criticism of men, means and doctrines used for th'; spiritual improvement of humanity, failure of parents in teaching their children to seek Ciirist early, love of i|ue.stionabIe amusements, moderate drinking on the part of Church nieml)ers. These must be regarded as samples (jf the multiform hindrances that exist witli in the Church and that si Uy cripple her power for good. They are a liatefu! hil brood, but they form no aryauienfc iigainst the reli'^'ion ami Church of Oliriat, as many ni oui" adversaries oontond. They rather furnish a proof that the Church has a divine vitabty. For what but a divine organization could cirry such dead weight !■ And yet in spite of tho fact that so many money-loving, fashion-worshipping, theatre-going, card-playing. Sabbath- visiting Christians enter the Church and try to drag the world after them, the Chuieli still lives, and spreads, and gathers in the elect of God. If church members were all aliki', as our enemies often insinuate, can they tell us how the church exists at all, and how in so goodly a degree it retlects " the beauty of the Lord our Gxd " '. To overcome these hindrances there is no suggestion either to change our methods ■ r to adopt other weapons. But there seems to be the breathing of a general and ardcn: desire that our work should be prosecuted with a more glnving zeal, with a firmer faith in the j)i>wer of (iod's truth, and in more absolute and prayerful dependence on thepowci of the Holy .Spirit. The provisions of grace are ample, and we must pray for its fullest power and sway. The omnipotent aid of the Holy Spirit is freely oti'ered, and when seizu.l by the Church to the fullest possible extent, her working power will be increased beynnd all humtvn measurements. V. — TMK IiP.VKI.ol'-.iKNT OF SVSTEMATU; AND ADKQrAT?; <;lVI.N(i. 1. As to the means employed to stiniulat" and regulftte this noble Christian grace, almost nothing new is noted. The ordinary revenue of our congregations is obtained largely by the weekly envelope system, and by open collections at Sabbath services. An occasional glimpse is got of the periodical collector ; and the subscription list in rural congregations is not yet an obsolete document. But we seem to have almost seen the last of what Maitlanp calls " the pew rent barbarism." It has fallen into disuse, and its place taken by more modern methods. Hard times are occasionally referred to by wny of apology for diminished contributions. But probably the fi.ink admission of Biu ck has a wide application — "The lack of liberality is due to want of faith in God's promises and complete dedication to Him." Pktekhorough formulates a list of means employed to foster liberality that covers much of the ground taken by nearly all the Presbyteries :— " Presentation of the truth in God's word ; teaching that it; is an act of worship most sacred and joyous; by monthly references in our services to our mission fielii. ; by missionary sermons every cjuarter ; by giving full information of the great work we are called to perform, and the grand opportunities which God places before us. Mihamkhi has a Session that distributed one hundred booklets on " What we Owe and how to Pay it." A Bkockville Ses3i(m would teach that " giving is a God-established condition of sanctitication," and the Presbytery itself has great faith in "presenting the need in a straightforward manner," while Kinoston, on the other hand, has Sessions that report among their hindrances to higher success " the many vexatious importunities from Church Committees," and the " constant, persistent appeals for money. " Pictou has one congrega- tion, alleged tf) be the only one of the kind in the Synod, that practises the purely voluntary system both for ordinary revenue and for the Schemes. The Session says ; " The plan has btan practised for fifty years and never failed," aiiU tht "^resbytery adds this testimony : "The splendid results achieved by this plan are its best recommendation." Bakkik thinks it worthy of note that " the congregations that report progress are those in which the i)ul{)it is used most freely in bringing the claims of missions before the people." Rkoi.na says : " Among the means employed socials are resorted to but are not recommended." We should hope Jiot ; for the in(iuiry is regarding means used "to cultivate the grace of liberality," and no means less likely to evoke that grace could 1)0 devised than those RkciNa declines to countenance. On the whole there is improvement. •.'J'J More systematic methoils are beini? employed ; fuller unfolding of the Churcli's nowls, iiid more urgent appeals on the loftier ground of Christian obligation and privilege. •1. The reports indicate a corresponding progress in the direction of systematic and adei|Uate giving. Picxor reports "cheering progress" in this respect, "a slow .uid steady movement toward the giving of a tenth," that goal having been already reached by several families. Lindsay, Owen Sound, Maitland, Hamilton, Chatham, Cai.oauv, Victoria, and several other Presbyteries report progress in the same direction. KiNii- •^rox, while not shewing much advance on the whole, has some progressive congregations. < )ne says : " This year (juite a number have given more than a tenth of their incomes towards the church alone,'' and another says : " Several heads of families comfortably ott' have been persuaded to tithe their income, and their giving is out of all proportion with what it used to be, and which was considered generous." 3. The young people in the Sabbath schools and C. E. Societies are being trained to give. The testimony on this point is all but universal, and often very emphatic. CJreiit hopes springing fn^n this fact are cherished by our Ministers and Christian people. There is great need for improvement. It is to be feared we fall far short of the ancient •lew, as to the liberality of our gifts to Chri.st'a cause, and probably we come still further short of the Christian id'^al — giving " as God has jn-ospered us." If the confession and resolve of a Session in Paris Presbytery could be sincerely adopted by the whole Church as expressive of her mental and spiritual attitude on this iiuestion, it would light up the future with a ray of genuine hope. " We are conscious that we have been woefully defective in the grace of liberality, but we begin the year with the determination that by God's :,'race there will be a better record read in the future." It is not tlie lack of wealth even though the times are hard. Should a deep sense of obligation to Christ seize hold of our l)eople, resulting in a nobler consecration, then would the flinty rock of our selfishness he smitten, and rivers of beneticence wtmld gush forth, making glad the deseit and carrying tlie Water of Life to milli(jns of dying men. VI. —the sabbath question. The Sessions were allowed a free hand in giving their views on this intensely import- ant theme. They were asked to state fully the local conditions with respect to the main '. itures of the Sabbath ([uestion. The replies have often, as was intended, a local coloring, and furnish information regarding many ways in which the law of the Sabbath is violated, its sacred hours profaned, and its beneficent purpose to a large extent frustrated. There is. hdwever, no evidence in the reports of any retrogressive tendency within the Church. On the contrary, there seems to bo a greater determination than ever on the part of Christian people to uphold the sanctity of the Lord's Day. This in itself is exceedingly gratifying, and should inspire us with courage in the struggle now being waged. For there are undoubtedly tremendous forces arrayed against us on this (juestion. The railway, steamboat and street car companies, for the most })art, labor to obliterate all distinction between the Sabbath and ordinary week days, si) far as their trafKc is concerned. The railways in certain parts of the Dominion make little distinction now, and where steam- boats and street cars have the power the distinetionis usually emphasized hy a vastly increased business on the Sabbath. It is, indeed, this larger volume of business that incites the cupidity of these corporations and inspires their persistent efl'cn-ts to deprive the laborer of his rightful rest and his religious privileges. The result of tampering with the Divine law of the Sabbath would be the toning down of public sentiment on the sub- ject, and perhaps the lowering of the Church s testimony. The eye and ear would become accustomed to the sights and sounds of labor and worldly pleasure ; the worldly spirit would become more dttiant and the Cliristifin conscience more accommodating,', until we sliould have a genuine continental Sabbath, with all the physical, social and moral evils (.f which it is the fruitful source. TouoNXO has been the storm centre of the struggle for a ijuiet Sabbath during the past year. A remarkably able and ettective campaign has been conducted by the friend- of the Sabbatli, in which many ministers and members of our Church have borne a con spicuous part. A delegation of the Ontario Lord'.s Day Alliance, with distinguished ministers and laymen from all the Churches, waited on the Ontario Government asking for such amendments to the Lord's Day Act as would ensure the fulHlmsnt of its original design, and such, too, as would prohibit the running of street cars on the Sabbath, and make the penalties ot the Act apply to corporations as well as to individuals. An earnest pn-test was entered against local option in such a matter, as it is a ([uestion eijually and vitally affecting the whole Province, One result of this was an amendment to the Ontario Lord's Day Act, introduced by the Government, whereby it was enacted that no Street Car Company, or Tramway, or Electric Railway Company, should run on the Lord's Day, saving certain special exceptions, which are neither numerous nor far reaching. ^Vhatevor be the outcome of these efforts to make our present Sabbath law moro luminous and etiective it is (juite clear from these reports that our Church neither design.-^ nor desires to trust unduly to legal measures, (jr to any pains and penalties that might vex and offend the characteristic and essential spirit of the Christian religion. The uplift- ing [jower of tlie Gos])el can alone be trusted to bring men into sympathy with, or any true appreciation of, the divine wisdom so plainly seen in the Fourth Commandment. Though Presbytery reports speak cheerfully, as a rule, on this theme, yet nearly all cite forms of Sabbath desecration, more or less Hagrant, prevalent within their bounds. The following are those most fre(juently referred to : Visiting, driving, bicycling, Sab- bath excursions, late hours on Saturday night, inspection of grain and stock in rural districts, driving; lo ihe i,'',ke, parades of fraternal societies, pic-nics, miners and smeltermen working, band concerts, novel reading, barbershops open, boating, hunting and ti.shing. In some Presbyteries, as in Bk.vndon, "the Seventh Day Adventists and the Mdlennial Dawnists have a jiernicious influence." In a larger number the day is seriously disturbed by railway traffic, and a multitude of men are thus robbed of their religious privileges. A few Presbyteries report the railways as growing more audacious in this respect, and KI^(iSTON says the increase of freight trains on the Sabbath, during the year, on the (irand Trunk Railway, demands "serious attention and prompt action." Bkockvillk reports that evils, such as the unnecessary traffic on railways and steamboat lines, " are flaunted in the face of Christian sentiment." Lanakk and Renfkkw speaks of the Sab- bath violation near a summer resort as " increasingly worse." Sarnia lias a Session declaring that "strict Sabbath observance is a thing of the past," while, on the other hand, Rock Lakk notes that " even Sabbath visiting is a thing of the past." In some Presby- teries, as BuucK, the (ferman element, by their lax views, is causing much anxiety ; and wherever Roman Catholic people abound, their habit of spending the greater part of tho Sabbath as .i holiday is exerting an injurious effect. Westmin.ster says that Sabbath excur-sions by steamboat to dancing-booths and by railways to skauhig grounds p-id Sab- bath concerts, called sacred, are telling powerfully for evil. Hamilton has had street car-: running on the Lortl's Day for over two years, also the suburban electric railway and tho " boat." One of the city Sessions says that "business men, some prominent in our churches, are making gain thereby, and many Christians think it no harm, when it suits their con- venience, to patronize this form of tratHo. These forms of desecration are affecting the attendance at Sabbat'', school and also somewhat the regular services." There is a reasonableness and moderation in the tone of the reports when referring to railway and steamboat traffic, by which through traffic and all necessary work connected with it aro ilistinLtuished fri»m the nnn-o i^mtuitous forms of (lesocr;ition whicli could oasily bo o])viiite(l, and which have thoir roots in mere )inioction \vt! may note that, according to PETKKfioROUoH re))ort, "no Sal)biith work is done under the Trent Valley control." The great bulk of the reports have but little flagrant violation to complain of, and are almost a unit in ex(jnerating ourow.i members and adherents, except as to the mildest forms, and, in a few cases, where positions can be held only by consenting to Sabbath labor. Many are the earnest resolves expressed in these reports liy f)ur ministers and elders, to contend earnestly for the sanctity of the Lord's Day ,ig-iinst the secularizing s[)irit and ruthless forces that are arrayed against it. Vir. IKMCKRAM-'K WORK IN TIIK rlHKi'll AMI rOMMlMTV. ]. The reports on this (juestion are practically unanimous in recording decided i)ro- ^'ress, both as to h.xbits of sobriety and a sentiment in favor of legal pr(jiiibition. In many Presbyteries a very manifest improvement is noted in the attitude of our people, and of society in general, to the li((uyr traffic and the drinking customs. Tiiere is indeed a long list 'if evils mentioned as resulting from the use of strong drink, and nearly every Presbytery h.vs occasion to bewail the prevalence of some of them. Kven i" districts covered by the Scott Act, as in several Presbyteries of the Maritime Synod, many of these evils are felt, though in a modified degree. True, as Bakkik says, " the disastrous results cannot be stated in words," yet words are our mf)st common method of expressing thought, atul (Uestions our best me^ns of eliciting information. The black list includes tlie follow- ing : Drunkenness, profanity, vice, poverty, squalor, misery, spiritual indifl'erence, irre- ligion, domestic woe, the wreck of promising lives, ignorance, taxation of industrious people, loss of moral principle, crime, soaring of ccniscience, paralysis of trade, destruc- tion of manhood, Sabbath breaking, loss of time, money and character, ruining young men, unpaid bills, gambling, fighting, suicide, death. These by no means exhaust the cataloc;ue of evils, but they suffice to tell us how formidable is the foe. They might well inspire us, too, with increased zeal ..o rescue the victims, and with a more intense hostility to a traffic of which these are the inevitable fruits. Yet your Committee rejoices to report that the tendency is decidedly upward, and tliat the long proce3s of education, and especially the power of Christian truth, are beginning to exert a beneficent iiiHuence. I'erhaps the loftiest note in this chorus of glad vvices is struck by Kingston. That I'resbytery characterizes the Session reports on this topic as " wonderful, ' and illustrates its meaning by copious quotations, all showing a marked decrease in the evils of intemperance, and some speaking of their virtual dis- appearance, especially in rural districts. " The liquor traffic is almost nil in our locality," •' a drunk man is rarely, in fact, never, seen within the bounds of our parish," etc. Aujoma thinks, from the tenor of the reports, that soon those wretched homes with their cheer- less poverty " will be seen no more." Oranoevillk reports these evils to be "on the decline, almost over the entire Presbytery.'' Ottawa says, less li(jUor is used now than in former years, and the temperance sentiment is growing. Hamilton says ; " In some communities few evil effects of the traffic are evident." H;" i.ifax : " The reports on tem- perance are most encouraging," and some of its Sessions report " no li(|Uor sold within a radius of thirty miles." Guflph says : " Five Sessions report no hotel within the bounds, and consequently no evil results." Picror admits illicit selling, with the ruin of young men and boys, in towns ; but says the evils are very limited in rural districts. Many similar references might be made, but these show the general upward tendency. But it is not time yet to " rest and be thankful," for, as Brock ville observes, "in spite of our boasted progress in temperance sentiment, there isgrefit need of faithful work in the matter of teaching and training the young in the principles of total abstinence." Ill' .'oy; 2. There are liundroila of orgunufitions of viiriuus kinds for the iiromotion of temper ance nnd for eductitiii.<< the people up to tho point of totiil prohibition. The W. C. T. U. , J}ands of Hope, Sons of Temperance, Royal Templars, and I. 0. H.T. are the societit"- most in evidence. They are doubtless doing a good work in promoting temperance senti- ment. Many of the Sabbath schools and C. E, Societies are organized for aggres sive Temperance work. Our ministers and elders are faithful, and are bearing a telliiu testimony. Indeed these reports make the fact more and more evident that the Church is doing the most effective work in promoting the cause of Temperance, and is God's elect agency for the uplifting of men. Other organizations are clothed with most power when wielded within the Church, and as part of her e(iuipment for van()ui3hing the powers df evil. The argument that remains ever invincible is tiie grand Christian principle of -self- sacrilice for the good of others. We might well lose heart, in this or any good causi'. unless we have tho conviction that the whole genius and uplifting power of the gospel is bbnind the mcjvement. Hut with this assurance nothing can discourage. When reverse!? come the loyal hearted only cling to the cause with a fonder atlection, assured that ;i movement so pregnant with great moral issues must in due time reach its fitting coronation. 3. Preparations for the Plebiscite in the line of an educational campaign were not. when Sessions reported, in an advanced statre. Paris reports some united meetings in churches to prepare for the Plebiscite. In Halifax four congregations had made prepara tions. In (Iuklph city a series of sermons and prayer services, bearing specially on thi subject, had been arranged. A county organization for this subject had been formed in Cai'K Bkkton. In Glknuakuy "some public meetings had been held and literature dis tributed." In many other Presbyteries, such as Picrou, Miramuhi, Petekboroioh, Maitlani), Stkatfokd, Chatham, PouTAdE la Phaikie and Brandon, beginnings had been made. Many are waiting for the (Jovernment to name the date, when a short, shari and decisive campaign is promised. Your Committee would earnestly urge our people not to unduly postpone prepara- tioni, and not to estoem too lightly the foe we have to face. There is danger of expecting an easy victory in the coming c^^test, arising from past plebiscite majorities. But tlu' aA'ful energy and unscrupulous character of the liquor traffic will be brought out on this occasion as never before. Let this be matched by the sublimest effort the Church and all good people have ever made to overthrow this giant evil. The Hon. Sidney Fisher, the present Dominion Minister of Agriculture, said in a recent address : "The temperancf people of this countrv must not suppose that they are going to have a walk over in con- nection with the forthcoming plebiscite ; on the contrary, it will be the hardest battle of their life. It will b3 war to the death.'' But victory is sure to reward faithful effort, aiul then a more favorable state of things will be inaugurated than we have hitherto seen. National prohibition, and not provincial, is the true goal, as far as legal suasion is con- cerned. The enacting and enforcing powers will then be identical. Public sentiment '.vill not support a system of espionage, but it will support, and even applaud, the proper officials in carrying t)Ut the sternest enactment our Government can frame. Dominio" prohibition will meet the case as no partial or patchy enactments ever could. It does not [)erpjtuate the treason to huunnity involved in turning over the crowded cities to the ji(ju()r [)ower which ao largely controls them, but it utilizes the comparatively pure rural communities to level up to the salvable point the rum-ridden centres. The Assembly's " plan of work" has, during the year, remained in charge of Rev. D, Stiles Fraser, who is willing to continue the good work. He has still in stock three thousand pledge cards, three hundred pledge books and about four thousand five hundred manuals. The " Plan " is comfortably self-sustaining, and a small credit balance i^ reported. Mr. Eraser's report is as follows : .v;; I'tiAX OK WOKK. " The ' Plan of Work has extondeil to iin oucouraging do^roe during tlie yoar. Altogether, since its organizitiun, about twenty thousand Pledge Cards and about eight hundred Pleugo Books have been sold. The Plitn has been adopted by a goodly number of Sabbath schools and Christian h^udoavour Societies, and l»y its nioatis nearly twenty thousand children and young peiple have been pledged t(j Total Abstinence in connec- tion with Christian instrmtion. In many congregations, besides, m-iiiy thousands more lire pledged in outside organizations, such as Bands of Hope and other juvenile societies. Tlius the work of training up a generation of Total Abstainers goes gradually 'out steadily OH. fn this movomont lies muc'' of the hope for the future success of the Temperance Ki'form, tor it strikes at the two great roots of the liquor trattic— the Power of Appetite anl the Power of Custom. Let the'^e two roots be destroyed, and it is eaiy to see that such (|ue3tions as the Power of Money, Vested Rights, and the Revenue, must settle themselves ; for with a generation of t(jtal abstainers the liijuor tratlii; will die f(jr lack of customers, and there will spring up a society that will know nothing of the drinking customs that still have so stnmg a hold on the social life of m vny people in many places. " Our Church has done much to encourage the Total Abstinence Movement, without which we ould have but little hopes of success, by placing its stamp of approval upon it, as has been done by the adoption of tha 'Plan of Work.' Very many sentences of appreciation from those who have tried it could be given, but spice will be claimed for only one : ' I think the Manual,' which fully explains the Plan of Work, ' is comjtlete ; just the tiling we need to bring Temperance work in most eH'ectual form before our people.' " It is not intended that any less work is needed along other lines, but that, in order to iiljtain the best results along other lines, more must be faithfully done along this line. Hure, then, is a work, a foundation work, easily within the reach of the hu nblest, and, at tlie same time, too important to be overlooked ity the most ad\anced S. S. or C. E. Worker. " The ' Plan of Work' .7ill continue in charge of Ri;v. D. StUfs Fra.-nu; Upper Sti K-Utclx, N. jS, from whom 3ami)les of ' Manuals,' Pledge Cards, etc., can be obtaiiied free on application." SYNOPSIS OF SVNODICAL REPORTS. Since the preceding pages were in print, reports have been received from the fol- lowing Synods: British Columbia, Toronto and Kingston, Montreal and Quebec. The only other Synod that meets in the Spring sea.son is that of Hamilton and L(m(lon. It had no Committee on Church Life and Work during the jjast year, and consequently no report. A committee on the subject was appointed at its last meeting, so that all the Synods are now fully organized for this work. As all the more important recommendations suggested by these Synods are virtually eiuljodied in those presented by your own Committee, it only remains to give a brief synopsis of other salient features of the reports. SYNOD OK nKITISH OOLU.MUI.i. The Synod's attention is called to some encouraging features — as the goodly response iniule by Sessions an i Presbyteries in furnishing information from the Congregations and Mi.ssion Stations ; and the encouraging character of this inf(jrination in regard to the moral and spiritual life of the members and adherents. Though the Synod is less optimitsic in its utterances than any other, yet it speaks of a deepening interest in spiritual things as Wmr If: **':i HBHr 1 hHIi^ iJi ovitloiKH! 1 ill iimny jiliu-es by ijroiitt'r lictivify in (Miristiiiu w.nlv, iiiul nn I'vcriiicroiisin,' miiiiliiT iif yniiiii,' ini'ii at tho Salihiitli soi'viccs. 1 lie Uoport calls attoiitiun to the a.id nu^'lcct of family ridiyinii, ;u»(l (|iiotoa with iipluMViil siiLj^i^stioiis ro<,'af(liii'4 a '• curfow boll " for towns and citioa, bolii'viiii,' this woulil certiinly prevmit childron boconiini^ ncijiiaintod with many forms of vice and crinu!.

The lar.<,'o attendance' on pul)lic lu-dininces is joyfully acknowledged, "especially whni wc consider the non-cliureh-yoinL; habits that so lari^oly obtain in some pares of tho conti- nent." But it is sorrowfully admitted that the week-evening meetings would indicat.' that "the congregational life throughout tho Synod is n:>t all that it ought to be.' The report mentions some " liealthful indicatiy some 'ii the same quotations. It thinks the state of affairs "suggests grave danger to the Cluiroli. and calls for deep humiliation, wrestling prayer, and more earnest, persistent effort to se- cure a revival of religion in the home, for it is tho very citadel of the Cluirch." Throughout tho Synod there have l)een such gracious manifestations of the Spirit's presence and power as call for deep gratitude ; and the report suggests a gospel faithfully preached and practised, mcn-e earnest and believing prayer, more whole-hearted conse- cration, as the most effectual means of overcoming hindrances to higher success. It aNn calls on the Church to set her face as a tlint against tho inroads being made on the Christian Sabbath : and concludes by warning all Christian men not to expert a victory for Prohibition, except as the fruit of their intense and earnest struggle during tlie coming Plebiscite Campaign.

The wuek-evoning nieotiiif^s are nut attended as tliey sliould be, Rid the multiplicity cf social and secular inoelini^s is L,'ivon as one reason. As to the deepeniii)^ of sp ritual life, tho report says : " The .Synod will 1)0 pleased to learn that tho very purpose fur which the Church was organized and its ordinances maintained, iiamoiy, the [ilantiii;^, the pre- serving and the perfecting of spiritual life in tho soul is being realized in a large degree." To partially roinody tho admittedly low condition of religious life in t!ie family, it is suggested " that young people be taught to lead in prayer in their several .societies ; then, should they subseijuontly become heads of families, they vill tiiid it easy to load tho devo- tions of the home" Also that "the (Jenoral A.s.senibly be approached with a view of preparing a Manual of Devotion for use at family W()rshi[)." The report alsi, speaks eiithdsiastically of tho work among the young, "the cultivating of tho missionary si)irit ; contributions to tho scliomes of tho Church; bringing many young people to Christ; visiting tho sick, and brightening the lives of many an invalid." Systematic giving if spoken of hopefully, as being on the increase. A larger number tuaii before are reported as giving one-tenth. Still, " there can bo no doubt that tlio wealthier portions of our people could easily make an advance without exercising any great self-denial." Tho Lord's Day is well observed by our jieoplo as a whole, but great vigilance is urged in .seeking to preserve its blessings intact. Tho report speaks, too, of the over- whelming evidence that the liipior traffic is .still a gigantic evil in our land, and calls on the Church to do battle with it, using as her mam instrument the sword of tho Spirit, which is the Word of God. Tile .Synod cimcludes its report with a series of recommendations, nearly all of which had already found expression in those which are now submitted to tho Assomlily. CONCLUUINO REMARKS. However imperfect may be the sketch your Committee has been enabled to give wo yet believe it may convey to liiis venerable Court a fairly accurate idea of the moral and spiritual life of our people as reflected in the various phases of Church Life and Activity dealt with in these reports. While in the face of the information disclo.sed no intelligent man can be a pessimist, yet there is much to awaken religious solicitude and call forth the most earnest and prayerful efforts of Christian people. What the Church needs is a rich and gracious baptism of the Holy Spirit. We are grateful, we trust, for the increasing throngs that gather together for public worship on the Lord's Day, and for the comparatively high plane of public morality on which, as a whole, our people live. Nur do we doubt but that these things should be taken as an evidence to some extent of the Spirit's presence and power ; and yet there may be a certain amount of tho merely mechanical in our worship and in our outward lives. What we must have is the Holy Spirit's ind'..elling grace. Those (juestions that probe most deeply, with a view to get, at the hidden springs of the Church's life, are not those that have been answered with the mijst joyous satisfaction. This is sought to be accounted for by the inherent difHculty of formulating spiritual results. But after due allowance is made for this, your Committee fears the results are not stated, because they had not been in any satisfying measure pro- duteil. Those sessions that really had a deepening of spiritual life to note, or marked spiritual movements to record, seemed to have had their tongues loosened as they bear glad testimony to God's mighty grace. There is only one bosom from which the Church's nourishment can be drawn ; and when she realizes that all her well-springs are in God, and hangs in helpless dependence on His Blessed Spirit, then will she achieve spiritual victories and effect moral transformations that will adorn individual character, enrich family life and uplift the nation. IGa ,:70 But thore mo many thint^a for which we may well blesn (Jod, and thfit hHouUI muke us hopeful and i,d(iil. Tlio tondnncy is dccidodly upward, and Unit fact Ih, in itself, the pledj^e of final victory. Our Yomi!,' People are better ori^aiii/.ed tlrui ever before, iind vastly more eneryotic m\\ etlicient in Christian work. Our people, under the p(»wir of moral suasion, .fu becominj,' more and more averse to the use of strouK drink, and see more and niort- clearly the national i^uilt involved in licensing' a tritilic so fruitful in minery and crime. Our ministers, elders, S. S. teachers and our whole staflf nf Christian workers are loyal to the (lospol and are doinj{ noble service ii) the llodeerncu's cause. And above all sh(uild wo be grateful and ijlad for the noble band of Christian vomen who, with incroasiiiL; d ivotion, are helpiiii^ on the wf)rk in e\ery confjrei^ation, hikI dfc.elopinj,' a passioiuvte desire to rescue from dc;,"'iidati()n and death their sisters in heathen lands. KF.CO.MMKNDATIONS. 1. That this Aesembly, while gratefully recomiizing the Divine blessing that h;is so evidently rested on the ministers and people of our Church during the past year, enablini,' them to bear witness to the truth both in life and doctrine, yet feels thai, a richer baptisni of (Sod's Spirit, and a more complete consecration of God'n people, are needed before the Church can bo clothed with invincible p( wer in rescuing sinful men. 2. That Presbyte-ies and Sessions be urged aubw to bring before all parents and guardians of youth the supre ae importance of family religion, and strive to roll away from professedly Christian homes the reproach of neglected family altars. :i. That Ministers and Elders be earnestly entreated to consider what they can do lo make the prayer-meeting more attractive and helpful to the people, so that it may be ii greater spiritual force in our <^'hurch life. 4. That rreshytories be itmngly recommended to adopt some form of Presbyteriiil visitation, with the special design of promoting the spiritual life of liie people. 5. That Ministers, Klders, Deacons, or Maragers be affectionately urged to adojit. wherever possible, the Scriptural method of otriving on the Lor Ts work, namely, tiy voluntary, sysiemi.tic, proportionate, weekly off< rings. (5. That this Assembly, prizing above all jirice the Christian Sabbath as a Divine I Btitotion, and as an unspeakable bisssing to mankind, both in its bearing on thespirituiil n ture and in its benignant ajpect toward the 8y Scriptural and scientitic sanctions ; and that total abstinence on high moral and philanthropic grounds be earnestly advocated. 0. That our people are hereby earnestly exhorted to use their utmost endeavours in every lawful way to cany the }i!ebiscite in favour of Prohibition, by a,i overwhelming' maj(n-ity, and thus free the Church from one of its deadliest foes, our land from untnW misery and crime, and our modern (;ivili7ation from its direst reproach and shame ; and fuither, the Assembly would express the sincere hope; .that the Dominion (Jovarnnu iit will submit this are greater than those of the year preceding, in evrrii roluniii, is probably unprecedented in the history of our Church.

YOUNG T" fh'! Fini'i'itblf till' Gfurral AMeinlilij of the Pir.-ihytiiriaM ('hurch ia Canada: — In tliis, its second report to the Assembly, tlie Committee is happy to state that there ai'o nii'- parisons with last yeai-'s figures are made. More extendiid comparisons w(juld be in'.er- esting, but they are not possible, owing to the tentative character of last year's reports. SOCtKTIKS. The total number of societies reporting is !M!>, an increase of IL'.'i over IH'.lo. It i« proliable that there are upwards of 1200 Voung l^eople's Societies within tiie Church. Ol those reporting, .SIS are C. E. (which number includes 37 Junior C. E.) : '21 are Voung People's Home Mi.ssionary Societies, and V2, Boys' .Hrigades. Tnere are _' other S(jcieties of various names. The C. E has, so far as appears, the wliole li i in the Presbyteries of Truro, Sydney, Tuverness, Halifax, Wallace, Pictou, Mirani li, Oleii- irarry, Lindsay, Algoma, Saugeen, Sti'attord, Huron, Tjrnce, Superior, Hran ' Melita, ivegina, Edmonton and Victoria, I'D Pres))yteries in all. In the Maritime Provinces three, four, five, or even six Societies of C. are 3(jme- tiines found within tlie >ame congregation. The Y. P. S. C. E. of Cooke's Church, Toronto, enjoys th<» unicpic iistinction of Iteiiig the largest C. E Society in the world, liaving an enrolment of oO.". .ve and 114 Associa'e members, a total of 017. The 37 duuicjr C. E. Societies and a number of lioys' and children s .Mi.-ssion Bamls represent the experiment of putting the children in tr.i'ning for Christian work. Wiiere wise leaders have charge, the experiment has been distinctly successful, (t is wortliy nf much more extensive trial. Why should not the teaciiingof the home and the Sabbath schdol and the jjulpit be thus suppleiiieuted ? Can we l)egin too early to lead our cliii.lren tn understand that thej' are [lart and parcel of the great host by wliicli the world is to be cimt|uered for Christ, or too early show them wliat there is to do and how it is to be lone ' MEMBERSHIP. The total membership reported is .'vl.Ol.'). an increase of (i,7''^0, with an average of iiculy 42 for each society as against 40 last year, a slight, but gratifying advance. The proporti(m of young men to young women stands ab(;ut tlie same, 37 to G'J. Several Presbyteries, whilst recognizing the fact that there is probably a larger number m J9J, of tho yf)uni,' men now onlisted in active Christian service tiiim ever before, lament that the proiiorLion is not still greater, and urge to lucn-e strenuous endeavor to increase it. Some suggest the adoption of the methods of the St. Andrew's Brotherhood or tlu' Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, organizations "of men, for men," which have proved .successful in other Churches. Twenty thousand and six ol' the members of tiie societies are in full communion with the Church ; hut it woidd appear that there are about 2,501) of the " Active " members who are not communicants. (These probably include the majority of thejuniois). i'n this ntnuber add the 1 l,'.l-l.~> " Associate '' members, most of wh(jui are non-communicanrs, and it will be seen that there is a wide field for personal and evangelistic v,'(n'k within the societies tliemselves. it would also seem necessary to call attention afresh to the repeated recommendation of the (jreneral Assembly that tlie " Active " memberahiij should be composed of those in full comnuinion with our own or some other evangelical Church. CONTItllU riONs. The counsel of the Assembly to its young ])eoplo to raise funds by systematic and voluntary methods and to give a foremost place to the support o! the work connected with their own congregation and the great Schemes of the Churcii is alreadj' proving its value. The total rnised for all purjjoses has increased from S2(i,!>ll in IHito to 1f.'54,].Sl in IHW), and the avc^rage givings of eaih society from S'M to S,j8. The api^ended tallies show that, wi>re all st-ctions of llu; Church to give attention to this matter as some dn, the aggregat - ,vould tie much iucieaaed, and the detailed reports reveal like possibilities within eacli Presliytery. Some Pnabyteries exjiress disaiJjiointment that tiic givings are not larger and more general. In others remarkable advance is noted, as, for example, in the Presbytery of riamilti-in wliere, " whilst the nii'mliersliip of the societies show an increase of but 21 per cent., the incease of contributions is 77 per cent." The special ett'ort of the .'■■(icieties in the Maritime Provinc?'^ to relieve the Home Mission Fuml of delit by an (^.■ctra contribution of 25 cents per m 'nber was most success- ful, Sl,2athy with them all, and contributions, however small, towards them all — no lildiiks — is the committee's ideal. To follow this persistently for ten years, by which time tho present generation of "young people '' will have matured and have become largely resiMinsil.lti for tiie working of the ciuigregations, will be to solve the dilHcult i)roblem8 of the less popular Schemes. MKKTIXdS. The "Questions" sent down to societies make incpiiry for " new methods" in ti.e conducting ot the nu'etings. Answers in great variery have ])een retiu'ued, .shewing that there is much fertility n\ invention, and in almost every case of a wliolesome sort. .\ " talent for suggesting ' is an excellent gift. Th(i new methods spoken y tlio Minister on the hooka of tlie l?ible and the Sluirter Catechism. I'HK I'LAN OF STIIIY issued at the New Vein, under instruction from last Assembly, has meet with wideai)j)roval Imm Presbyteries and Synods, and !\as been warmly endtirsed by C. K. Convei\tions, the ieadini^ C. K. papers, and by many W(n the methods already in use.

Helpful literature is recommended and space has been kindly allowed in the H'corch month l)y month, for a discussion of the topic d^-'igned t'l aid the young people in pre- paring for their meetiiig.s. In this work, "iueh i.s su]>cvvised by the Convener, he has been assisted by tlie Conveiu^'s of the .Vsseinnly's Committees ..n the fJchemes, and liy a number of leading writers throughout the Church, to all of whom the thanks of the Assembly are due. Various papers in more or loss close relatitm to the Church, have also treated the tofiics of the Plan of Study. A Y. P. S. C. E. Topic Card especially arranged for Presbyterian Societies, contain- ing the '• unif(n'm topifs 'and incorporating tlie Plan of Study, was i.ssued by the En- ileavor Herald Co., Toronto, ai .i cheap rate, iiid has been widely used. \'arious sugges- tions for the luiprovenient of the form of the Topic Card have come to the Committee and will be acted upon, should tlu Assemldy authorize the continuance of the Plan (jf Study. The Committee also contemplate following up the Cfeneral Survey of this year with detailed studies fractical methods. (I>) 'V\\i: encouragement of the societies by \isitation and suggestion. The Toronto I'resbyterial I'nion has been si)ecially active in this direction. In a handsome little pamplilet, "Echoes of the Convention," just issued, it furnishes the societies with a summary of the papers and acklresses given at the convention and presses upon them the claims of Sabbath obseiv ance, the Plan of Study, and the Missionary Schemes of the Church. ((■) The organization of new societies, (/) Tiie su|)port of mis.sioiiary work by the united efforts of the societies, as in the Presbyteries of Peterborough, Whitby and Owen Sound. Th.e Presbyterial Y. 1*. H. M. Society of the Presbytery of Lanark and Renfrew is an example of what may be done. It combines all the young ne;)i)le's societies which will unite with it in support of Home Missions. As a result, the 2(i societies rei)t>rted contributed .SitSS for that work, or an average of about i^ol^ for each society. Both tlic Toronto and Hamilton Presbyterials are arranging for district conventions to be held during the summer. MOW .MATTKKS. As tho schedules show, tlie young people's societies flourish mostly in the older and more closely settled communities, hi missionary ter; ory they are confined chietly to the centres. 297 Ami yet iiowhero arts \\wy nmre iioedetl than in the scattered misaion districts, where the remilar aervices of the Church >\.r^^ few, and in many places intermittent. Wliat may not a trained band of zeah^us yniini^ people do in such places to keep atlame the lii(ht of :he (ioajiel ! At the nii't)tin'4 of the C^'ommittee in Sopteinbei last the Convenor was instructed to correspond with the Missionary Sii[)erintendentH and with the Conveners of (Jomuiittees in the newer I'resliytjries with a view to the formation of 8)cieties wht;re none are now found. Little, however, has been done. It is a work that requires much corrospondimco and a good supply of suitable literature, constitutions, etc. This, of course, means (!.\pense, and it is l)elieved that tlit> outlay would be well made ; but the Committee has no funds for this or any other purpose. If it could l)e provided with a small inconuj, something worth wliile mi'.'ht be accomplishe..! toward extension in the newer districts during the coming year. In this connection the (Jonvonor feels constrained to state that the labor which ha.s necessarily fallen upon him during the ])ast two years in the way of correspondence, com- nuniicating with soiiioties, maturing the plans of work, and the [ireparation of reports for the Assemi)ly, and, tor the current year, the direction also of the Plan of Study, has been very exacting. It has nocess;irdy been done almost entirely without clerical assistance and at little more than the bare ci>8t to the Assembly Fund of printing and postage. This can hardly be continued. Some provision for more aile(|uate clerical help is absolutely re<)uisite The Committee, however, believes that, in consideration of the benetits received, societies would gladly send in a contribution, if asked. A small sum annually from each society would not only meet all ordinary expenses as mentioned above, but would enable the Committee to do something eti'ectivo for the extension of the young people's work in the wide and distant missionary tields. TlIK SOUKCK OF PROORKSS. The Committee would, in conclusion, express its profound conviction that the source of true progress in this, as in every part of the Church's enterprises, is only to be found in a deeper and more abiding experience of the indwelling (jf the Holy Spirit, the fountanx of all knowledge and strength, and zeal ; and its prayer tcj (Jod is that the Spirit in His fulness may be poured out u|)on all the young people in their endeavor the better to serve Chust and the Church. practi- Synod to form i chietly 'oronto little with a K'lii tlie 'liurcli. in the II.

The following Recommendations, as summing up the points in the report upon which liresont action is desirable, are submitted for adoption by the Assembly : 1. That ministers and missionaries 3upervi.se the returns sent in from societies, to the end that these may be more prompt, accurate, and complete. 2. That the Assembly express satisfaction with the general outline of the Plan of Study issued by the Committee, and the extensive use into which the Plan has come, and authorize its continuance, with such new monthly topics for the coming year as the Committee n»ay find suitable. ',i. That the Committee be instructed to consider whether some similar plan might not be devised for the use of the children in junior organizations, and to issue such plan if deemed practicabhj. 4. That ministers, sessions, and ycjung people's societies be specially reminded of the urgent ne,ed of seeking to bring a larger proportion of the young men into the member- sliip of the societies and an active interest in the work of the (Jhurch. 5. That the .Assembly's previous recommendation to the young peojde in reirard to moneys be reiterated, viz: — (<») To adopt some systematic and voluntary method of raising funds. (/< To give the foremost place to the support of work connected with their own congregation, and to tht» great missionary, educational and benevolent Schemes of the Church. (5. That the Committee be a'lthorized to request of the various young people's societies under their care a C(jntribution towards the necessary expenses cjf the Committee and the extension of the work in the newer districts.

The Editorial Cttmmittee carefully and critically revised tlie text of the hymns, witii V iew to correct any verbal inaccuracie?, and any needless departures fr(jm the original text. The Music Committee comjjleted the selection and arrangement ai tunes, according Ni the principles recorded in last year's report, and m(>reover, carried on extensive corres liDudence, in order to obtain the use of tunes from the proprietors of copyright.

For carrying out these rules a detailed plan was adopted. It was further agreed that the incidental expenses, which it was supjjosed wouM lif small, should be divided among the Churches represented, each Church being left to jjm vide the travelling expenses of its rej)resenfcatives. Our representatives rcjjort themselves as on the whole well satisfied with tin- pi" ceedings in the meeting at Philadeli)hia, and hopeful for the results. They raised tiu' question as to whether any of the Churches in Britain had been invited to co-operate. It was replied by the American brethren that they had not been invited because nf the ditticulty of co-operating with Churches at so great a distance, and because they suppi>se'l the Churches in Britain would not wish to co-opeaate. But the door is left open fi>r ask ing the co-operalion of British Churches. Subjoined is the Treasurer's Re])ort WILLIAM r!RE(i(!, ToitoxTO, 8th May, l.S!»7. Cmrfio'r. IS'.H). Mav 1. Nov. 28.

I'.R.VNTl'ORl) To llic ViiUTdble the (niurul Assrnihly ,)f the I'nshvtiTian Chunk ni Canada : The Directors of the Brantford Presl)yterian Ladies' College, in presentiiif^ tlieir annual report to tiie (ieneral Assembly, are glad to state that, notwithstanding the severe financial depression of the country diu'ing the year, whicli ha'^ affected tlu; attendance of many of the higher educational institutions of the country, the number enrolled has been exceedingly gratifying. I'p to the present date the attendance has been, between regular hoarders and day pupils, about mo. It is, as yet, impossible to give the e.xact nuin);cr ot graduating students for the year, as the final e.xaminat'ons have not yet taken jilace, but the prospects are that there will be ten or twelve;, between Knglish, Music, and Art. Several graduates of the College are at present prosecuting advanced studies in our own I'niversities, and others are engaged in different jiarts of Canada and the United States, in Colleges and Public Schools. These instances serve to show the tiioronghness of the instrnction given in every department of the College curricniiim. Mrs. Rolls, who has so long and so faithfully filled the position of Lady Principal, having resigned, the Directors have after due consideraticMi and enquiry appointed Miss Canjline Phillpots in her place. Miss Phillp(jts is now, and has been t()r many years. Head Governess in Rolleston House, Toronto, and is well known among a large circle of Presbyterian families whose daughters have been under her care. She is al.so highly recommended by Sir Oliver Mowat, Rev. Dr. Wardrope, Rev. J. C. Tibii, K. P). , and other well-known ministers of our Church ; and also by Win. Tytler, B.;\.. Inspector of Schools ; Bisliop Sullivan, of Toronto, and Bishop Baldwin, of the Diocese of Huron, and educationalists of high standing who have known her past record as ,i most successful teacher and trainer ot young ladies. Under her direction it is confi- dently believed the College will maintain the high character it has attained by the wise and able management of Mrs. Rolls. The teaching staff of the College has never been more complete than at present. H comprises seven Ciovernesses in the regular luiglisli branches and .Modern Lan- guages, including Llocution, Stenography and Typewriting ; a Professor and tour Governesses in ^iusic, a Professor and two assistants in Drawing and Painting ; and Lecturers and Teachers in Philosophy, Natural Theology, Evidences of Christianity, and iiibical History. In addition to the regular instrnction, lectures have been given during the winter by leading Ministers of the Church, on Historical, Ethnological, Literary, and iSiographical subjects. The Directors gladly welcome the daughters of Clergymen, to whom reduced rates are given, enabling them to take the full College course, and thus prepare themselves for teaching, h'oreign Mission service and other important positions in life. They are satisfied that many more of the Ministers of the Church would avail themselves of the privileges afforded their daughters, if they would only make themselves better accjuainted with the workings of the College, and the exceedingly moderate sum that is charged for board and tuition. During the past year the College has been visited and the classes s.xamined in History luiglish Literature, Mathematics, Latin, and the Modern Languages, by Rev. E.. Cockburn, M.A., representing the Synod of Hamilton and London, and Rev. J. C. Tibb., B.D., of Streetsville, representing the Synod of Torontoand Kingston, and also the Rev. Dr. Robertson and Rev. Dr. Gordon, the Moderator of the General Assembly. The examiners have reported to their respective Synods their impressions of the Col- lege, and testified as to the high cpialifications of the teachers employed, and the proficiency of the pupils in the various departments of study. 3or> T'le Directors tlu not hesitate to say that, in comparison with other institutions of a sinnlar character, no coUej^e offers j^reater attractions to stiuhoiis yonn^ women, alike tor its honielil, lune, ibltj. Appended to this report is a list of the sliareholders f Ihr f'reahijteriun Church in Cun'tUa, nut in H'innipey, Jum; ISU; : r>ii bear teHtiinony that (iod haHHtill been mindful cif Ihh ^race and truth tii\sardH Kiii){ ami ({laddeninK her by hi« presence, hupplyin^; her with his Spirit, iiml enabling her, not only to maintain th« poHition to which she haci attained, liut ti) len^'then her cordK, and reach into districtH which were " beyond.'

And it cannot be disputed— the nature of the case guarantees it, the facts (»f history i)rove it that Chris- tianity stimulates and conduces to iiitel ectual vigor, development and reKnement, and to the welfare of man in all his relationd. Approaching to survey che year that h-xa just been added to the history of our Church in this wide Dominion, we could not cherish the anticipation that all would be bright. A landscape is not always, and in every |jart, lighted up with unclouded sunshine. V'ic'.ory does not always persh upon tiie ensigns of an army that has been led forth to places and deeds of daring. Unobstructed and uninterrupted success nas not been a characteristic of the Christian Church in any age since it was fiiimded. And when we look at the extent of territory over which our Chl:ecial notice of it. If the C-'ommittee had been able to carry out their own desire there would have iteen a distinct (Question nn the slips issued to congregations and stations, and a distinct column in the tabulated forma, "'Is there a Chrit-tian Endeavor Society conntcteil with your coiigreira- lion?" Unable to do this in the meantime, and also deeming it more prudent to intnHluce the iiiatter tentatively, we modified the (juestion of ISKo, "Is there a Woman's or Young I'eople's Mishionary Society," so as to read " Is there a Home Missionary Society, Christian Endeavor, or other Young People's Society connected with the congregation ?" directing that initials should be 'Uiiiloyed to distinguish each. Then a new ipiestion was added, asking for the number lielonging to the Young Peoples or Christian Endeavor Society. To make room for tliis it was agreed to omit, ;ilthough not without some small reluctance, a question that has been used for a few years- "'Total luunber under pastoral oversight ''—a ([uestion which was intended to elicit information from which :M .{ns it coultl bi) aMoerUlned what wm the iiutual niimliar of I'resljytoriatiM under church copftiizanco uh coiripareil with the entire niiniher in the Dominion aH jitarneil from tlie decennial Dominion ct'iHiH.

STATIHTICS. Synod ok thk Mahitimk 1'kovinceh. Proceeding now to a detailed consideration of the reports received, your Committee be^in ;ii UHual at the Kast and take the TresbyterieH in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces. At one time, and till <|uite lately, thin Synod endjraced eleven Presbyteries, but owing to that of Newfoimdlau I becoming defunct throngha decrease in the settled ministry, it hus now only ten, the congregation- of the late I'resbytery being joined to those of Halifax, making a corresponding increase in its iium bera. Observing the arrangement followed in other years, the Presbytery of Truro first claims notii e. This has now 43 Churches and Stations forming pastoral charges, being 1 fewer than the lire ceding year, with 12, 4;{0 sittings, an increase of 4;"i ; l,92t» families, ai. increase of 08 ; and IJn single persons, whether communicants or adherents, not belonging to ihe families enrolled, a decrease of H8 ; and 3,!WH commuuicant mernber.s, an increase of 143, or an average of more than three to each charge, while the total average membership is less than 100. The additions to the rolls of com- municants durmg the year were 2'Jl), and of these 207 were on profeaoitm of their personal faitli, which was 135 fewer than in 18i)5, and 02 on certificate, or ir> fewer. The removals were l.'iS, of whom oU were by death, 1 fewer than in the foregoing year ; themselves and their little ones, as well as a sin against a precious and authoritative appointment . Their sympathies are with those who have not enjoyed the privilege in their earliest years, but they maintain, and their practise is in accordance, that adults should be baptized, and that the sacrament should be administered before sitting down at the Lord's Table, and partaking of the feast whifh i.s spread upon the New Testament Mount Zion. Our statistical forms call for the number of cases of baptism, and the returns from the Presbytery of Truro give 137 infants, and 53 adults, 5 more of the former, and 18 fewer of the latter than for the former year. In the number of Eldkhh, 140, there is a decrease of i), and of other office-bearers, that is Maiia gers or Deacons, 132, a decrease of tl. The attendance at Wkkk-Dav Praykr Mketinc; has fallen offby 87, being reportedatl, 785; in the Sabuath School and Bibi-k Class by 88, the total number beinf^ 2,858, or an average to tachcharf,'e of less than 70 ; and there are 5 fewer engaged in Sabbath School work, the whole numl^er being 344, an average of 8 in each charge, and of 1 to every 8 scholars. Missionary AsHOCiATiONshavn fallen from 12 to 10, but Women's Foreign Missionary Societies, 10, have increased by 1 ; and Home Mission, Youn.'j People's and Christian Endeavor Societies havi' increased by 10, all of these given as " Christian Endeavor, ' with a membership of 1,258, or an aver- age to each of more than 30. The Mansks are reported at 13, and the Rented Houses 1 ; no change in the one year from the other. In each year 1 Manse was built, in 1896 a Church was erected, and in 1895 a Hall, so that in these two particulars the one year may be regarded as corresponding with the other. In the Presbytery of Sydney, there were 41 Chl'hchks and Stations forming pastoral charges, being an increase of 11 on the preceding year ; with 15,748 sittings, an increase of 4,590 ; or about 33 per cent. ; 2,499 families, an increase of 541 ; and 127 single persons, and increase of 43 ; and 2,iiti'.i communicant members, an increase of 753. The total additions to membership was 250, and of these 203, an increase of 07, were on profession, and 47, a decrease of 4, on certificate. Removals sum iip 131, of whom 38 were by death, an increase of 12 ; 65 by certificate, an increase of 28 ; 27 without certificat"?, an increase of 14 ; and 1 by discipline, none such being reported for 1895. ■ inU that is Mana- ii74, a ildcreaite (>( 'Jl, were infatilM, ui»l (li, m\ )f lesit thnn 4 to each (7: Sahliath SchonU if '.".'I ttiichcrH Hiiil mill cif hetwffii 70 = '■'1 ■| to Hai'I'I.sm wai ailitiiniHtered tolllil|>er)4oiiH, of who increaMe of -O, were ailultx.

The former gives an average of more than 50, and the latter rather better than the same for each charge. There i.s a decrease of :{ in the number engaged in Sabbath School work, but each I if these has charge of 8 scholars. In the year IMC), there were no MisaiONAKY Asmociation.s reported, in iSltll there is 1, there were \'i Chiuhtian Kndkavor and I kindred organization, against 14 the previous year, so that it may be inferred that almost all the organizations of the former year became Christian Endeavor organizations in the latter, with an attendance of .'{4!), or an average of about 27 to each. There was no change in the number of MaN'&ks, 10 ; there was 1 Krntkd House additional ; 1 CiiiRt H was built during the year ; no Manse built in either. In the Synod of the Maritime Provinces the Presbytery of Halifax stands foremost in the number of its Pastoual CHAiKiKS. 102, but this is less by 4 than that for the foregoing year. With this reported decrease of CnAK(iKS there is an increase in Sittisos of !t3:{ ; in Fa.miliks of 2(J(l ; and in Communicants of 853, while there is adecroase in Sinolk Persons of 21.

Missionary Associations had fallen from 9 to 7 ; Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies had risen from 31 to 35 ; Home Missionary, Christian Endeavor, or other Young People's Societies had risen from 22 to 55, of which 52 were Christian Endeavor, with a membership of 1,787, being an average in each of c'ose upon 35. The number of Manses was the same for each year, 25 ; there was 1 Itenteil House for minister fewer, and 1 Church was built. Neither Church nor Manse was erected in 1895. In the Presbytery of Wallace there were 42 Churches or Stations under Pastoral Oversight in each year, so that in this particular it just holds its own; the sittings in these, 8,5()5, show an increase 'if 700 ; in fan^ilies, 1,303, there was an increase of 35 ; in Single Persons, 127, of 27 ; and in com- municant members, 2,204, of 121.

SUMMARY COMPARISON, FINANCES. The Stipond received from All Sources in the 2,432 Churches or Stations was 8005,102, which gives an increase of .§.58,321. Of this amount .§870,043 we>e paid by the Churches themselves, an increase of $32,!)7o, and giving an average to each Church of less than $300. Arrears of Stipend' 815,004, show a decrease of $4,034, and it is gratifying to your Com- mittee and must be to the whole Church, to observe that steps were taken to wipe off the burden of undischarged liabilities that rested on these Churches. On Manse and Church building and repairing, $403, .330 were paid, a decrease of 821,400, al- though it is known from the reports sent in that 53 Churches and 22 Manses were built durini; the year. On other incidental Congregational Expenditures $408,738 were paid, a decrease of 815,5()I'j. On these two items, then, there was a falling-otf to the amount of 837,056, but no unfavorable con- clusion can be drawn from this as to the prosperity of the Church as a whole. The payments for strictly Congregational purposes were 81,743,023, a decrease of 82,675. On the amount raised for Congregational Purposes, $1,137,832, there was an increase of $107,704 and on the amount raised from Mortgage or other Securities, $133,074, an increase of 85.5,84,S. ■ Taking up in detail the payments to the Schemes of the Church it is seen that $23,6.30 went to the Ordinary Fund for Colleges, and $10,020 to the Special, an increase in the former of 82,771, :* decrease in the latter of $704. On payments to Home Mission Fund, .803,482, there was a decrease of 81,070; to Augmenta- tion, 810,201, a decrease of 8038; to French Evangelization, 824,120, an increase of 80J7 : t" Foreign Missions by (^Jongregations alone .81! 1,048, an increase of 80,718, and to the same by Woman's Foreign Rlissionary Societies, .851,!t08, an increase of .81,002 ; to Aged and Intirni Ministers' Fund, 8,027, a decrease of 8001. to Endowment Fund for the same, $2,4t>8, a decrease of 81,117 ; to Widows' and Orphans' Fund, 80,100, an increase of .8341, and to Assembly Expense Fund .81,505, an increase of -8525. On examination it will be seen that in of the 11 Schemes enumerated there were increases in the contributions amounting to 815,044, and in 5, decreases to the sum of $4,820, while an item of .§234 for Coligny College appears in the returns for 1805, but not in tho?e for 1800. Total contributions to Schemes $200,380, an increase of 810,886. Of the total paid to these Schemes, Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes contributed 824,405, an increase of .810,085; and 812,211 by Young People's and Christian Endeavor Societies, and Jlonie Mission, Christian Endeavor and Young People's Societies contributed 87,005 of the amount re- ceived by the Home Mission Fund, a decrease of 81,420. Payments to the Synod and Presbytery Funds amounted to 88,032, an increase of §26} ; to all other Religious and Benevolent Objects. .§05,835, decrease §4,001. Total payments for All Purposes 82,140,301, an increase of 85,311. According to the practice followed for many years, your Committee have prepared a TaMe which shows the average contribution per family and communicant towards Stipend, all strictly Congregational Objects, the Schemes of the Church and All Purposes. It would be instructive to compare this with those of preceding years and learn the progress made. 339 4, a decrease uf le 8143 ; s2i,i;u se of §180 to the le of $l,',K)l ; t(i decreaHe of ■-'.>, f S130, was con- Young .People '.< s §905,102, which IS themselves, an If; to your Ciiiii- )e off tlie burden je of s21,4'.tO, al- rere built durini; ;rease of >'l5,5(iri. unfavorable con- $23,030 went to riTier of 82,771, -^ ; to AuRinenta- ease of .'?'-'27 ; t'l to the same I'V gerl ami Intirm iS, a decrease <2.84, a decrease of (1 cents, and each Communicant $1.47, a dectease of .3 cents. For All Purposes the average family contribution was .'?20.!»5, a decrease of ."512,20 ; and each Communicant gave to the same at the rate of $10.00 very nearly, decrease 44 cents. It will be seen from these fijjures that the liberality of the Church has not kept pace with the increase of its fanulies and membership. It would be a thrice-repeated tale to ascribe this to the general depression of business, which undoubtedly was deep and prevalent, and yet, judging finni the figures that have passed under review, there were ])arts of the Church in which, apparently, this was not felt, or her constituency made special efforts under their zeal for the glory of their Redeemer, denyin,' themselves for His sake. Neither should the fact be overlooked that large cnii- tributions have bcjn made by those belonging to our Church, as well as by others, to the Arnieniiui Itelief and Indian Famine Fund*, which do not appear in the books of any of our Treasurers whether local or general. It is a matter of congratulation and thanksgiving, that the appeals niiide in behalf of these sufferers was received with such a prompt and libera' response, and, while we sax- it not in any spirit of pride or boasting, yet it may be alKrnied as a matter of fact, thpt the meni- bers and adherents of our Church were not among the last to come forward with their offerings.

RETROSPECT AND COMP\RISON. Vour Committee would take the liberty of reminding the Assembly that the report with which they are dealing is for the twentieth year since the Union of the then existing two divisions of the Presbyterian denomination iii Canada — a Union which had been preceded and prepared for by long, serious, and prayerful deliberation and discussion — which was a matter of gladness and ^'ratitude to many, of anxious and unfavorable anticipation to others, of disapprobation and con- leumation to comparatively few. That union had followed anothei which had been effected twenty-four years previously, also between two branches of Presbyterians, and also in the city of Montreal, which has thus been the scene of two important and widely influential events, or, it may be said, epochs, in the religious history of the country. Your Committee will be pardoned if they briefly refer to the position of the parties to these Unions at each of the oatts of their consummation. l>.)eH not the period reached in the history of the Church suggest that it is 'becoming to pause and look back on the way by which God has been leading us '! iJoes not duty demand that the retrospect be taken from the standpoint to which we have been brought '! But an attempt at an historical ■survey must be resisted. in 1861 the Union was between the Canada Presbyterian Church and the United Presbyterian Clinrch in Canada. It will bo remembered that the former consisted of those who had separated from the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, and who were moved to take this step by their sympathy with a similar movement on the part of hundreds of ministers and congregations, and thousands of people in Scotland -the motiier country; and the latter of those who were bound by ties of sympathy and gratitude to that ecclesiastical organization in the same country which had resulted from the_ secession from the parent Church under the Krskines and their followers, under Gillespie and his follr)wera. After various changes these seces- Moiis had been incorporated into the union of 1847, at which time the distinguishing and suggestive conniiemorative name was taken of the United Presbyterian Church in Scotland. However interesting and tempting to review the first jdanting and suhse.iuent growth of these 'encrnii'.iations in the land to which they had been directed to extend their operations, your Com- mittee nuist forbear, but they cannot omit some statement of their numbers and work immediately prior to their union in 18(il. From a report on statistics for 18G0, compiled with great care by Mr., now Dr. John Gray, who was then pastor, as he is still Pastor Emeritus of the congregation in Orillia, the following figures are eollecttd :— The number of Ministers in the 8 Presbyteries of which that Church consisted was 149 ; of com- 33a iiiiinicantH, l'.i,70ti ; of Ruling' Elclors, 7-5.S ; of week-day ineetingH, .'{'22, at which there was an a\ erai;.! alteiulaiice cif .-),17(>, while the apjiroximato attendance on the uiiniBtrations of the liord'.s day wu.i "10,1111 at the forenoon diet of worship, antl 37,-'{fl0 at the later one, whether afternocin or ext'iiiii:;. The number of manges was A\, an increase of 4 on the iirecedinj,' year ; families, iJi.Sl'.t ; stijifn! promised, >!S2,(J7o ; total contrihutions, Sl.{|,!i.").S. We shall not follow out the additioiis of an)niiiiti contributed to the Schemes of the Church. In a statistical report for the year ending' Hist I)ecend>er, ISllO, and presented at the nieetini,' of the Synod of the I'nited I'resliyterian Church in Canada in isiil by the [iresent Convener if your Committee, .'is part of the report of the Mission Committee, it is stated that no rf port lu.l heen received from the I'resbytfry of Canada P^ast, in which there were. "> Ministers' and ti ConKrc^a- tions, so that the report was not full. In other Presbyteriep, too, there were '20 Couf,'regations, just as there were some in the sister Church, which had not reiiorted, detracting afll farther from tlie actual jjosition of the denomination, and the record of the work in which it was engaged. In the H I'iesi)yteries that had reported there were tlJi ministers, 121 organized C'ongregation^. and .'{'{ Stations. The total average attendance was 1(),'2!(7 ; members on the roll, 8,;U() ; meinln'i- adiled during the year, 8(14, and removed, 47.">. In religious classes there were .'i,(W.") ; attcniliiit; prayer meetinu', 2,448 ; number of churches, 02 ; sittings, 20,'.I7.') ; with IS manses. The e.xpenditur-- on stipend had been s2,S,(i80.7t) ; on church property, $18,72."i.;{'.l ; on Home Missions, •'S2,(i:i((.s7 ; on other Missions, ■'^(i84.4.") ; on the Theological Fund, •S421.70;|, ; other specified purposes, 8l,0;}0.21 ; and incidental expenses, ■SI<,078.70. The total income had been ."i<.52,01G.l.'{.\. In a report on Statistics ))re8ented in 187."> to the General Assembly of the Canada Presbyterian Church, there will be found Statistics of Presbyteries from 1801, the year of the irmon, till that year. From these it will be seen that an increase had taken place in the number of Ministers froin 2'2;5 to H3!(, that is of 11(5 ; in that of Kegular Charges between ISOU 04, from loO to 077, and " iiiptin regular charge," for the same period, the nundiers varying almost every year, was a2 in the latti-r year, 8r> in the earlier ; vacancies also vary, but in 1801-()2 there were 42, and in 1874-75 there were 72. The first record of families is in ISOolKi, when they were 10,220, and in 1874-7.5 they were 30 It40. In the course of the 14 years, that is from 1801 {)2 till 1874-7.'), the conmiunicants had increased fruin ;{0,4.50 to 50,241, that is by 25,7'.)1. Mention need not be made of additions, diminutions ami bap- tisms throughout the period, but the number in Sabbath Schools had ri.sen from 14,005 to 37, 'i"i"i, and in Bible Classes from 4,004 to 10,.">7.'<. There had al.so been an increase in Elders from l,bi-l to 2,020, and in other ofhce-bearers from l,OO.i to .{,148, both for tho period ending with 187;i-7l, 11 - report of those appearing in the following ye.nr. Looking at the financial operations of the Church during this period it is seen that there was an equally gratifying progress. It would occu])y too much time to present a detailed account of these and your Committee will therefore confine themselves to a few particulars. The stipend promised in the beginning of the period was .$100,757, and paid was •S104, 144. 11 ; in 1874-75 the amounts respectively were •'?254,515.85and •'fi270,000.2.'{, the latter by the congregati in- from their own funds without any aid from outside sources an increase of •Sl(i0,545.82. Other contributions for Congregational Purposes had risen from ■'ii!50,OI}7.07 to !$'285,415.'.t4, an increase of !?228, 478.87, and the total contributions for these purposes had increased by .§300,5)50.117, the amounts being •S150,140..5!l in 1801-02 and 8540,007.20 in 1874-7.5. The Schemes of the Church at that time embraced College Fund, Home Mission Fund, Foreign Mission Fund, Widows' and ()rj)hans' and Aged Ministers' Fund, Synod 01 Assembly Fund, French Canadian Mission, Kankakee Mission, and the total contributions for these in 1801-02 were i?10,34(1..50, and in 1874-75, .$57,870.02, an increase of !541,.520.43. In 180',i-7ii Sabbath Schools were rerjuested to contribute to one or other of these Schemes, and their contribu- tions were in addition to those liy congregations and were included in the figures just given. Contributions to the College Building Fund were reported in 1801-02, 1863-04 and the :>i\ years beginning with 1809-70, and these amounted to .$00,0;y.32. For other Benevolent Purposes the payments as might be expected, varied in dilFerent years. At the first they were .$2.084. !il, at the last .$32,112.20, an increase of .$23,127.35. The total for All Purposes was .$10.5,027.88 in 18Gl-6'2, and.$(J67,'274.29 in 1874-75, an increase of S472,'24G.41. The number of Manses had increased from 74 to 108, with 25 rented houses. The following summations are presented . In the course of 14 years included in this compari- son .$2,302,828.47 had been paid as Stipend; .$2,188,401.20 for Other Congregational Pur|)ose- ; .$4,.547, 150.72 for All Congregational Purposes ; .$.5*20,502.37 for Schemes of the Church ; -$204, ID" for Other Benevolent Objects ; and .$5,415,025.25 for All Purposes. For reasons that will at once suggest themselves, a comparison cannot be made of the Total.- in Statistics except in Additions, Diminutions and Baptisms, which were respectively 05,207, 30,^17 and 01,120. It would not be proper to pass on from this point without mentioning that, however gratifyin;,' the progress of the Church after the Union, the figures given do not state all. It was the com jilaint then, as it is still, that there are Congregations that did not send in their Returns. In tlit- first year after the Union there were 57 such ; in the last year, 1874-75, there were 27. Had tllt'^t' been actuated by the spirit of loyalty to their Zion, the results in all the items specified would hau' been more favorable, and increased reasons would be seen for abundant thanksgiving to the Kin.,- and Head of the Church for the great things He had done for us. In 1875, as mentioned before, the Union was consumated between the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland and the Canada Presbyterian Church. '1 1"' former of these began its work in Canada in the year 1705 with the Ministry of Rev. Ceo. Henry at t^uebec, and he was succeeded in that charge in 1781 by Dr. Spark, who was ordained with tlie view of taking that charge by the Presbytery of Ellon in Scotland, The next Congregation t I J J-fi ed in diiferent <7.or,. ■5, an increase 1 if t Congrej,'ati'in ft)rined was in Montreal and the next in Niagara. The country was only lieKinnins' t<> open up to settlors, and the Chiirch of Scotland evinced its deHire to Hupi)ly the spiritual wants of those choosing it for their home. Very interesting facts connectoil with its first uml sul)se(nu»iit efforts are contained in "A Historical and Statistical Report nf the Presliyterian ("hurch of Canada in Conncftlon with the Church of Scotland for the Year 18(i(i," by Mr. •! antes Croil of Montreal, whose name is well known throughout our land, whose influence and usefulness are felt exteiisivoly, and will continue to be after he has served his generation by the will of (Jod and fallen asleep. Through the kindness of Mr. Croil your Committee have had accoss to the Returns from Con- gregations in that (Jhurch for 187.5.

'TJi Your Coiiiuiittoe present herewith detailed statements from the Rev. Dr. Warden, General Agent of the Church, as to the several funds. The amounts received for the respective schemes are such as to call forth devout gratitude to God for the liberality shown by the membership of the Church during the year. The amounts received by Dr. Warden for the principal schemes, not including interest on investments, are as follows : — Knox College ft 12,353 40 Queen's College 2,028 i»2 Montreal College 8,807 58 Manitoba College ;},730 75 Home Missions 09,735 59 Augmentation Fund 22,957 93 Foreign Missions 117,077 90 Widows' and Orphans' 7,023 33 Aged and Tnhrm Ministers'..... 7,201 24 Assembly Fund 5,738 98 French Evangelization, including Pointe aux Trembles 34,980 00 Total $291,794 74 The total amount of money received by the Agent of the Church during the year, including interest on investments, repayment of loans, etc., was $527,087.81. It is encouraging to report that.notwithstanding the continued commercial depression throughout the country, nearly all of the schemes closed the year with a balance on the riglit side. While the Foreign Mission Fund is in debt to the extent of $9,085.07, it is not because of lessened interest or diminished liberality upon the part of the people, because the contributions for Foreign Missions this year are #20,000 in excess of the preceding one. If the contributions for the India Famine Fund are included, the total amount received for Foreign work is upwards of $40,000 in excess of that of any preceding year in the history of the Church. This has been brought about largely because of the special appeal of the Foreign Mission Committee, which was responded to in an exceptionally liberal manner by the Church generally It is undesirable that this should be frequently repeated. In the judgment of your Committee it is uoL vise to increase the expenditure of any Mission IScheme of the Church to such an extent as to rec^uire a very large amount in excess of the receipts of the preceding year. Your Committee would again call attention to the desirability of congregations for- warding their Missionary money (juarterly to the Agent of the Church. By so doing a large amount would be saved in interest. During the year just ended it was necesaary to obtain advances to the extent of upwards of $100,000, to enable the Agent to meet the payments in connection with various departments of the work. This entailed a heavy expenditure for interest — the amount for the Foreign Mission Committee alone exceeding $1,500. It is encouraging to know that several congregations have adopted the plan of forwarding their Missionary money (juarterly. The amount received in this way last year was about $13,000. Were this method adopted by all the congregations of the 517 Church, it would be unnecessary to discount notes at the bank. As it is, nearly two- thirds of the total contributions for the Schemes of the Church are received during the last three months of the year, As reported to last Assembly a considerable number of [jroportios, on which loans were made in former years, have reverted to the Church, from the inability of borrowers to meet their engagements. In the financial statement appended to this report, full details are given regarding these. It must not, however, be assumed that the loss to be sustained will be at all the ecjuivalent of the amount loaned upon these properties. While some of these are vacant lands, which bring in no revenue, and on which taxes, etc., require to be paid, others are revenue producing properties. Until they are disposed of the loss in annual revenue from year to year will be considerable. It is hoped, how- ever, that as business improves, the value of real estate will increase, so that the loss sustained may be reduced. Due care is being exercised so as to guard the interests of the Church in this matter, and to make the loss as light as possible. With a view to reduce the expenditure in connection with printing, more particularly of the Assembly volume, your Committee would suggest the propriety of the annual reports of many of the Committees being greatly slujrtened. Apart from the question of expense there is greater likelihood of these reports being read, if reduced in size. With the existence of a Minswiiarii Record published monthly, in direct connection with the (General Assembly, much of the matter now given in annual reports could be published there, and that to advantage to the work of the Church generally. The circu- lation of the Record is in the neighborhood of 50,000 every month, so that the substance matter of many of the reports, if appearing in its columns, would be read by a much larger constitutency than at present. At present the financial year of the Church closes on the 30th April. The time be- tween this and the ni 'ting of Assembly is so brief as net to afford suitable opportunity for adjusting iiccoun;.s and carefully preparing the annual financial statements of the several Funds. Your Committee therefore recommend that hereafter the financial year terminate on the (Ust March. This would not inconvenience the congregations of the Church, and would be of great service to nearly all of the Conimittoes, some of whom pay half-yearly grants and claims in the end of March without knowing whether the receipts at the end of the year will be sufficient to enable them to do so. All of which is respectfully submitted. ALEXANDER I^AIRN, Chairiiuiii (pro tnn). Toronto, 27th May, 1897. ^1 !^18 II' '.I V '. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA (WESTERN SECTION) In Account with Rev.
