A meeting of the executive co.Tiniittco of

was held in the treasurcr'a otllco on Wednes-
day, April 7, 188(3, at :\M0 p.m. ^
The members present were : iho Mob'w
Rev. the Metropolitan of Rupert's Laud (in
the chair), the Very Rev. Dean Grisdale,
Ven. Archdeacon Cowley, \en. Archdeacon
Pinkham (secretary). Revs. Canon O'Meara,
Canon Matheson, 0. Fortin, E. S. W. Fen-
treath, and H. H. Barber, W. Winram, Laq ,
M.P.r., A. H. Witcher, Esq., and H. Is.
Grotty, Esq.

Tbe meeting was opened with prayer.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and confirmed. .

The secretary presented ihe lollowmg
account of the different missionary meetings
I eoently held in the diocese :

" During the past few months a number of
missionary meetings have been held in aif-
erent parts of the diocese. The chief ob-
ject in view in holding them was to explain
as fully as possible the financial position
of the diecese and to encourage church peo-
ple to increase their contributions in orcier
that the work now in operation might be
continued and that means might be found
for extending that work to all parts of the
diocese. ,

WEANERY OF ST. JOHN H,

A meeting was held in St. Paul's Pirish
on the second of February. It was well at-
tended. Canon Matherson presided and the
speakers were, Rev. A. E, Cowley, Mr. J.
W. H. Wilson and Archdeacon Pinkham,

DEANERY OF SELKIRK

The first meetine; was held on 1st of Jan.
at Heaclingly, where a new church has bee

built free of debt, dr.ring the past summer.
The deputation nonsistod of Arch-
deacon I'inkhaui and Rev. H. II. Barber.
The Rev. A. E, Cowley occupied the chair,
and the attendance was fairly good.

The next meeting took place 14ih Janu-
ary, at St. luMies, whoso pariah church is
within the city limits. The meeting which
was a good one, was presided over by the
rector, Rev. A. E. Cowley, and the deputa-
tion consisted of the Rural Dean (Rev. O.
Fortin,) and Mr. H. M. Howell, Q. C.

On January 19th and '20th meetings wore
held at Springfield an.l Sunnyside re-
spectively. The first of the two meetingi
was addressed by the Very Rev. the Dean
of Ruperts Land and Rev. H. II. Barber,
the second by these two seutlemen and
Messrs. C. J. Brydges ana H. M. Howell.
The leather was very cold and members of
the deputation aulfered from it, but the at-
tendance at the meetings and the interest
shown fully made up for any personal in-
ccnvenienco.

On lOlh February, Canon O Meara and
Mr. T. Gilroy addressed a good meeting at
Cook's Creek. The chairman at all three
meetiups was the missionary in charge Rev.
G. H. Hooper, whose earnpsl and constant
labors since his appointmeixt more than two
years ago are highly esteemed. It may be
nieationed that as an inducement to hold
these meetings Mr. Hooper on behtlf of his
people guaranteed ^.30 and all expenses cf
the deputations, and it will bo seen that the
three collections aggregated more than the
8um promised. Considering the number of
church people in the mission there is proba-
bly liO mission in the diocese contributing as
larj-e a sum annually for churchwork as
this mission. The last harvest thanksgiving
collection amounted to $47.00. ^

On .3rd of March a meeting was held in
St. George's church, Winnipeg, the incum-
bent. Canon O'Meara, occupied the chair
and the meeting was addressed by Arch-
dpa')on Pinkham, Canon Matheson and

fair attendance and a good deal of interest
was awakenad. , ,, .

Trinity Hall in connection with the parish
of Holy Trinity. The Dean of Rupertslaud
occupied the chair, and the speakers were
Mr. Gilroy, Archdeacon Pinkham, Mr.

DEANERY OK LISGAR.

A meeting was held at St. Andrew's on
30th March. The speakers at this meeting
were Archdeacon Pinkham, Canon O'Meara,
Revs. 0. Fortin and K. S. W. Peutreuth and
Mr. James Taylor. There was a very good
attendance. The Rev. A. L. t'ortin, imsurr.-
bent of the parish and rural dean of Lisgar,
presided.

A meeting took place
April 1st. Neorly all the
had promised to attend as
from various causes unable „ - ,
and at some inconvenience Canon Coombes
kindly aaranged at the last moment to ac-
company ArchdeacoE Pinkham; Archdeacon

at Selkirk on
gentlemen v.ho
speakers were
to bo present,

Cowley, who Oftme ai a hearer, wa» alio pre
vailid upon to Hpeak. The chair waa ably
ttllod by the incumbent. Rev. N. C. Martin.
This 'ompletea for the prewent our mia-
alonary meetings. The accompanying atate-
n>ent shows the amount (d)tained at each
meeting. Those aumo, although imporUnt
in the prcecnt Hnanjial position of the dio
ceso, arc of tritiing value in compariaon with
the information that haa been given, and
the interest in our work and wants that has
been created. At the cloao of a meeting,
epoakora have been told by aome who had
been listening to them, that they never
before liad heard ho much about the history
end condition of the work in thla dioceae;
that they would bo glad if such meetinga
could bo hehl once u month, and ao on.
The hands of the clergy, whose parishes and
mlBsiona wore visited, have been strength-
ened and their hearts cheered, and a strong
imnotuH has been given to the all-important
duty of Helf support, since it haa been clearly
shown that the sums already withdrawn by
English sQCJoties indicate further withdraw-
als at no distant date, and that if the Church
of England is to hold her own in Manitoba
and the Northwest, she mu«t rise as rapidly
as poKsible to the duty of supplying her own
wunta withgut depending upon external

aid.

It ia hoped that the existing arrange-
ment ot deaneries and their better organiz-
ation will facilitate the holding of such
mcetinjjs annually, and, as far as possible,
throughout the Diocese."

The following reports were then rend : —
(a) From Kev. G. PI. Hooper, Springfield,

•' I ■end in a report of my -rnrk. I think 1

menou«l a Mrvico in three Btitiorw ov«ry
Snn«Uy. Tho roiult haii b««n very nMin-
factory; a more reuulur attontlttQoo hM boon
oht»lh«(l. I ti»<l it diflicult to oarry on
theao •orviet'*, but with the exception of
the tini.) when diphtheria wa« in my family
antl one Sunday that I wim «iok in bud, I
have not mi»ied a Sunday iiinco I commeco-
•d. I l)egin tho lit nervioe at \0:'M a. m.,
the '2nd at 2 p. m., tin third at 4:30 p. in.
I cannot have a aorvioe any later. The
poopl" have lar^o sttookn to look after and
wish to 1)0 home on time to attend them.
The round journey for me ih '22 miloa. I
have had 10 baptisms, 4 funeralH, 2 wed-
dings and 3 continued. I believe I am do
Ing 08 much on Sunday as I can, but there
is so much more to hf done, that I ncom at
time* to 1)0 doing nothlnK at all. There
are k many places round whoro scattered
memb'irB of our church are living and whore
service ought to be hold thut 1 frefjueatly
get discouraged at tho small amount
of worn done. I have oflorod several times
to go to thoBo places ou week days and hold
service, but thi» doos not neem to bo what is
required. Few people like to go fir over
tho prairio at night. A Sunday seivico is
the only way to reach them, and I cannot

ftlve it just now. I hope shortly to get a
ay reader, and if I do, we can between us
take up two or throe other townahips and
give at least a fortaightly service, I going
once a month and tho lay reader once a
month. I do not see any other way at pre
■ent of giving t! ese scattered ones the
means of grace.

•»1 think the people ol this mission have
■hown that they appreciate the work car-
ried on amongst them. In tpite of the de-
pression of trade and failure of crops, the
church wardens have sent to tho mission
fund $82.00 since Thanksgiving Day. This
speaks more than words of mine. For my
own part, I must say I have received the
utmost kindness and good-will since my ap
pointment. One great want in this mission
18 a parsonage. It is a serious inroad on a
small salary to have to pay $12 a year rent
for a house. We cannot as yet see our way
clear to do anything towards building. We
would be very glad indeed if some steps

wnU Iw l*fc«B to inpnly this want. If
our cro|)8 an- good this yt-ar, I
think a BUrt cou!d possibly be
made, but it will bo some
time, even with |i{ood orof^B, before wo can
bi ild a house without assistance.

nothing to fall back upon. Htill I do not
think thcro are many mUsions In any place,
as weak in numbers as wo are, which can
show a bettor record

••My work for tho year may ho stated
briefly thus: Throe strvioes SundayH; holy
ciommunion once a month; parcjhial visits
during tho wonk as frequent as possible.
This, I suppose, is something, but how much
remains undone 1 I'lympton, Milbrook,
Kichland, Caledcnia, Koscdulj, Clear
Springs, Woodri'lge and other townships are
sadly in need of a clergyman's so' vices on
Sunday. Where is ho to comt from ? With
a lay roadeii's help I think I oan take three
of thom, but I cannot alone. The people
are so scattered that I cannot reach n)Ore
than throe places on Sundays, and it is very
hard to do that when tho roa<ls uro bail.
I'eople in the tast do not ui.c'erstand the
difiorence in our roads and theirs. I have
fivquentlv had thrto services ia
Ontario, 'and driven thirty three miles,
and not had sur-h hurd work for my-
self or horse as 2*2 .nilei gives here. I feel
3^ great reluctance to send any report. When-
over I sit down to write of what I am Jo*
ing, whftt I am not doing and what ought
to loe done gets uppermost in my mind. A
report of that kind would be the easiest
written. Wo had a visit from the Bishop
last summer, the only break in the mono-
tony of country life HJnce I have been here.
We were all very much pleased to see his
Lordship and I should think the interest
shown by the people wculd bo gratifying to
him. Wo hope to see him again soon."

(b) From Rav. W. Langham Cheney,
Rounthwaite.

•'The following is a report of my work
during the past month in tho district of
Millford and Rounthwaite ;

•'Millford is a pla<ie started in prospect of
a railroad which has not yet been con-
structed.

Moved by Doan (Jriadalc, aecondnd by
Canon Mathoaon and resolved:

That the cordial thanks of the executive
committee of the aynod of the diocese of
Rupert's Land bo hereby oH'ered to Mr. T.
A. Uanbury, who haa very effectively and
Buoceaafully taken SuncJoy services at Morris
for more than a year paot.
^ Moved by Rev. 0. toitin, seconded by
Canon O'Meara, and resolved :

That the regular quarterly meeting of the
executive commiitee take place on the sue-
ond Wednesday in April (after thia year),
July, October and January, instead of the
present dates of m;)eting.

Archdeacon I'inkham submitted the fol
lowing notes of districts where the need of
a resident clergyman is most pressing and
in every one of which the people may be
expected to give from $300 tc $400 per an-
num towards his stipend.

It ia the county town of the county of Beau
tiful Plains, one of tho fineat agrioi-'tural
uiatricts in Manitoba. The country about
the town ia well aettlnd. Ther«< are between
80 and 90 church familiea in the county.
Fortnightly services h-ive been hel<; for
some time at Neepawa and at Olandale, a
Battlement about thirteen miles S W

4. OAK LAKE,

Oak Lake is a growing village on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, 35 milea west of
Brandon. It is the centre of a niost excel-
lent agricultural district. The propoaeil
mission of Oak Lake would adjoin the Vir-
den mission on the west, and embrace the

Tillage of Oriawold, eight miles oast; the
Blair school district, about eight or nine
miles northwest of Oak Lake village; the
oettlera arouud the lake itaelf, some ten
miles south of the village, and a sottlcment
on the Pipestone Creek, about tifteon miles
distant. There is no church or parsonage
in the district. The people are taking steps
to raise half the atipond required. Arch-
deacon I'inkham held a meeting for organi-
zation and services in the district recently.
The oervices were hearty and there was a
large attendance. Oak Like is in the
Dianery of Brandon.

some time. He resigned las'j autumn. There
is no church or parsonage in the district.

6— CARBEKRY.

Carberry is a village on the main line of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, between Por-
tage la Prairie and Brandon, in the DtiPnery
')f Brandon. There are a number of church
families in Carberry and the vicinity, and
the large district ot which the village is the
centre ought to be occupied at once. _ At
the present time no services are held m the
whole district.

7.— KILLARNEY.

The Municipality of Turtle Mountain
ought to have a resident clergyman at once.
At the present time monthly services are
taken at Wakopa and Killarney by the mis-
sionary at Clearwater. Killarney is m
the Deanery of Bufferin.

There are other large districts which
should have regular services."

His LordHhip then pronounced the bene-
diction and the meetiuR was adjourned.

A SELF-

8T. MABY'S, portage LA PRAIRIE,
SUPPORTING PARISH.

The members of St. Mary's congregation.
Portage la Prairie, have recently petitionecl
the Bishop to appoint the Rev. C. JN. 1^.
Jeffery, B.A., B.D,, to be th^'ir pastor, and
have guaranteed $900 of stipend for the farst
year, with the hope of an increase there-
after.

This parish was for years a C. M. S. mu.
sion. Church work was begun in the
year 1855 by the late Archdeacon Cochran,
who died there ten years afterwards and was
succeeded by his sonin-iaw, the late Rev.
Yi. (Jei)rgo, who was incumbent of the par-
ish at the time of his death in 1881. He
was succeeded by Rev. A. L. Fortin, now
incumbent of St, Andrew's. Towards Mr.
Fortin's stipend the Church Missionary
Society gave till the end of 1884 ClOO
sterling per annum. During the portion
of laat year that Mr. Fortin was in
charge a grant was given from the Home
Mission Fund. Since Mr. Fortin's resigna-
tion services have been taken every Sunday
chiefly by the cathedral clergy and Rev. H.
T. Leslie. For some months the Dean of
Rupert's Loud was curate in charge, but on
Aich.leacon Pinkham's return from England
the dean resigned that position to him.
The otliciating clergyman has usually speub
as muoh of each Sa\-urday and Monday as
was available in parochial visitation.

The new rector, who is to enter upon his
duties on F.aater Day, is a graduate in arts
and theology of the University of Manitoba,
and au alunmus of St. John's College, in
this city. Since his ordination, not quite
two years ago, he has had charge of the
mission of Clearwater, in Southern Mani-
toba.

St. Marys is the fifth congregation in the
diocese, whose rector is entirely supported
by the congregation without any aid from
endowm«»nts, the others baing Holy Trinity,
Christ Cuurch, and All Saints', Winnipeg;
and St. Matthew's, Brandon.

The Rev. A. W. Goulding, B. D.. has re-
rigned the incumbency of Poplar Point and
High Blutt", and has been placed by the Bis-
hop in charge of Stonewall and Victoria.
Mr. Goulding has also received the appoint-
ment of Protestant Chaplain of the Mani-
toba Penitentiary. He will reside at the
Stony Mountain.

Rev.

A. G. Pinkham, missionary at Nor-
quay, etc., in Southern Manitoba, has
resigned his position in the diocese, and has
accepted a charge in the ^liocese of North
Dakota. He leaves after Easter.
