who  died  in  Montreal,  February  20,  1*^58,  aged  70  years. 

He  was  converted  in  ejirly  .  ife,  and  connecting  himself  with  th« 
Primitive  Wesleyan  Society  in  Ireland,  he  was  called  into  the 
ministry  of  that  Society  in  his  native  land.  He  emigrated  to

subsequently  removed  to  Canada  West,  where  he  laboured  as  a 
diligent  and  nuccessful  minister  of  Jesus  Christ. 

Domestic  trials  led  him  to  seek  a  superannuated  relation  to  the 
Conference,  in  1864,  at  which  time  he  took  up  his  reaidenoe  is 
Welliiif?ton  Square.

COMMITTEE'S  REPORT. 

Tlie  children  to  bo  provided  for  the  present  Conference  yesii 
ftiuount  to  817,  and  although  20  have  gone  off  the  Fund  by  a/jp,  an<l 
11  have  been  lemoved  by  death,  the  uuuvlwr  ci  births  makea  a'l 
increase  of  29  claimants  over  the  fonner  year.  It  is  gratifying  to 
know  that  the  increase  in  raem1)er8hip  for  the  pe-^t  year,  (t«  (.'ircnits 
paying  into  this  Fund,  is  nearly  eijfficient  to  meet  the  rldims  of 
these  avlAitional  children.  It  will  however  be  seen  by  the  Trea- 
surer's Rejwrt  that  the  balance  on  haiui,  amounting  to  #65.9  'V7,  has 
been  consumed  in  liquidating  the  claims  of  the  past  year,  making  it 
necessary,  unless  the  tax  per  member  is  increased,  to  reduce  the 
amount  of  claim  for  each  child  the  present  year  ;  therefore — 

ReaohH'd,-  That  the  rate  per  membcar  for  this  year  be  .'}5  cents,  and 
that  $24  50  be  the  amount  payable  by  the  Fund  for  each  child, 

Re^olved,-~ThAt  the  Rbv.  J.  0.  Slater  be  continued  as  Oenerfti

Reporl  of  Committee  appointed  at  the  Hamiiton  Confereru:e 
to  consider  the  recomrnendatimi,  of  the  Children  s  Fund 
Ootnmittee  in  regard  to  the  claims   of  the  Children  of 
Superannuated,  Ministers. 

The  Committee  composed  of  Revs.  Dr.  Wood,  K  Jones,  J.  Douse, 
8,  Rose,  and  J.  C.  Slater,  met  in  Toronto,  oa  the  4th  September, 
1867. 

The  ('ommittee  have  crefully  considered  the  question  submitted 
to  their  judgment,  that  is  to  say,  the  propriety  of  contimiing  the 
payment  of  the  claims  '>£  Superannuated  Ministers  Children  out  of 
the  Children'a  Fund — which  practice  is  alleged  by  the  Children's 
Fund  Committee  to  Ive  a  dcsparture  from  the  origiT,\al  intention  of 
the  Fund.,  and  therefore  irregular  and  unconstitutional. 

Having  ascertained  that  the  resolution  of  the  Kingston  Con- 
vention, Avhich  originated  the  F'und,  and  which  was  adopted  by 
the  Quarterly  Official  Boanls,  requires  "  that  a  fimd  l>e  establifihed 
for  equalizing  the  support  of  Preachers'  children  upan  the  prinaple 
adopted  by  the  Eiiglish  Cor^''erence  :"  and  that  the  Dractice  of  that 
body  has  always  been  to  provide  for  the  children  of  :;ip€.'ana\jated 
Ministers  out  of  their  Children's  Fund  ;  and  further,  that  the 
practice  has  been  sanctioned  by  the  declaratory  resolution  of  the 
Conference,  to  be  found  in  the  Minutes  of  1858,  and  set  forth  in 
the  Di8cij)line  of  1859,  and  has  been  the  usage  of  the  Connexiou  for 
many  years  past,  tha  Committ«e  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  claims 
of  the  children  of  Superannuated  Preachers  are  a  regular  and  legit i 
mate  charge  upon  the  Childi'en's  Fund,  -iud  recommend  that  they 
be  paid  as  usual. 

All  -which  is  respectfully  submitted.

OF  THE 

SUNDAY  SCHOOL  COMMITTEE  FOR  1868. 


Your  Committee  are  happy  in  being  able  to  come  before 
the  Conference  with  tidings  of  cheer  from  our  Sunday 
Schools  in  every  part  of  our  extended  work. 

The  statistical  refcui-ns  are  fuller  than  in  former  years, 
and  show  most  gratifying  progress  in  almost  every  par- 
ticular. The  schedules  report  an  increase  of  89  schools  ; 
bu^  it  is  believed  the  net  gain  does  not  exceed  60,  and 
that  the  remaining  39  should  have  appeared  in  the  returns 
of  last  year.  The  increase  in  the  staff  of  Teachers  is  698, 
and  of  Scholars  3,126.  There  is  also  an  i  crease  of  705 
Scholars  meeting  in  class.  The  amount  raised  for  Mi;^- 
sionary   and   Sunday   School  purposes   is   $17,358  05,  an 


If  -   -l

I 


increase  of  about  $2,500  over  the  previous  year.  There  is 
only  one  particular  in  which  a  decrease  is  observable, 
namely,  in  the  number  of  Teac^hers  who  are  not  members 
of  our  Church. 

Your  Committee  observe  with  pleasure  that  the  B<5ok- 
Steward,  acting  on  the  recommendation  of  the  last  Con- 
ference, has  commenced  the  publication  of  a  monthly  paper 
for  Sunday  School  Tejujher-s.  Tliey  are  convince<l  that  it 
is  well  caieuiated  to  supply  a  long-folt  want,  and  that  Iwth 
as  regards  the  character  of  the  publication  itself,  and  the 
wants  of  our  Sunday  School  work,  it  is  entitled  to  the  con- 
fidence and  support  of  the  Ministers  ^nd  Teachers  through- 
out the  entire  Connexion.  Your  Coiimjitt*;e  trupt,  there- 
fore, that  **  The  Sunday  School  Banner"  will  obtain  such 
a  circulation  as  will  insure  itt  janent  publication. 

Your  Committee  regret  thai  there  has  not  been  a  largei 
increase  i'  the  circulation  of  the  Sunday  School  Advocatf, 
and  they  ue  convinced  that  tlie  chief  hindrance  is  its  price, 
which,  es])ecially  on  the  jx)orer  Circuits  and  Missions,  pre- 
vents it  from  competing  with  cheaper  publicfl lions  of  the 
same  class.  From  several  District*  representa  ions  of  this 
kind  have  been  received,  and  many  Minit-ters  have  declared 
their  inability  to  extend  the  circulation  of  the  Advocate 
while  cheaper  publications  are  in  the  held.  Yoiu  Com- 
mittee would  thei'cfoi'e  most  earnestly  recommend  that  the 
Sunday  SciiOOL  Advocate  be  is.sued  in  future  at  the  uni- 
form rate  of  twenty-iive  cents  per  copy,  whore  not  less  than 
ten  copies  ai-e  taken. 

From  fo  number  of  Districts  resolutions  and  suggestions 
\mvB  been  ret^ived,  strongly  rtHX^mmending  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  General  Sunday   School   Agent,     While  f\Uly

recoguizing  the  injportance  of  such  an  agency,  your  Conir 
njittee  cannot  conceal  the  fact  that,  an  yet,  we  have  no 
connexional  Sunday  School  organization  which  an  agent 
might  represent,  nor  any  available  fund  from  which  he 
could  be  paid  •  nevertheless  they  are  strongly  of  the  opinioji 
that  by  organizing  a  Connexional  Sunday  School  Union, 
and  by  bringing  the  matter  prominently  before  our  people 
during  the  present  year,  the  nucleus  of  a  fund,  at  least, 
might  be  formed,  which  would  justify  the  Conference,  at  its 
next  session,  in  sending  an  agent  into  the  field 

Your  Committee  are  glad  to  know  that  during  the  past 
year  several  District  Sunday  School  Conventions  have  been 
held  with  encouraging  results.  They  would  therefoi'e  re- 
commend the  holding  of  similar  Conventions  ou  eveiy 
District,  where  practicable,  during  the  coming  year. 

The  limits  of  this  Report  forbid  your  CommJtt<>e  en- 
larging upon  other  topics  of  interest  which  have  beei.  before 
them  ;  but  in  view  of  the  facts  already  presented,-— rin  view 
of  promoting  the  purity  of  our  Sunday  School  Literature, — 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  our  future  as  a  Church  will  in  no 
small  degree  depend  upon  the  religious  training  of  the 
youth  of  our  congregations,  they  respectfully  submit  that 
the  time  has  come  when  our  Sunday  Schools  should  be 
organized  on  the  connexional  principle,  as  a  distinct  depart- 
ment; of  our  work,  under  the  control  of  the  Conference,  and 
receiving  that  careful  consideration  from  year  to  year  which 
80  important  a  matter  denjAuds.  Your  Committee  trust, 
therefore,  that  the  Constitution  of  the  Wesleyan  Suntiay 
School  Union,  which  has  been  revised  by  order  of  the  last 
Conference,  and  which,  in  its  amended  form,  will  be  prer 
*soted  in  connection  with  this  Keport,  will  not  pnlj  receive

fKilAltlEES  OF  VICTORIA  COLLEGE. 

'/lie  ? ffiBiirers  in  presenting  tlieir  Annual  Report  to  the 
fi,         '  uul  through  it  to  Uie  Couferonce,  while 

deeply  ngiutting  some  things,  would  nevuvthuli'ss)  record 
their  devout  gratitude  to  the  Giver  of  all  g(H)d  for  the 
measure  of  BucceKs  granted  to  the  institution  tlujing  the 
past  year.  The  number  of  students  in  all  the  depuitniunly, 
including  the  Grammar  School,  is  considerably  in  excess 
of  any  ])revious  year,  being  417.  The  arrangements  made 
at  the  beginning  of  the  year  with  the  Trustees  of  the  Co- 
bourg  Grammar  S»Aool,  to  affiliate  that  School  witli  the 
College,  have  fully  met  the  expectations  of  parties  con.

prevent  th"  continuance  of  the  affiliatien,  we  may  rea8onaV)ly 
expect  results  in  the  future  still  more  encoumging.  Tlie 
carrying  out  of  theae  armngenieuts  has  been  the  means  of 
resuscitating  the  Gmmmar  School,  and  thus  giving  a  larger 
number  of  young  men  an  opjwrtunity  of  preparing  for 
matriculation  in  the  University,  who,  probabl),  would  not 
have  done  so  had  it  not  been  for  tliese  arrangements.  They 
have,  as  was  expected,  inci"eased  tlie  number  in  attendance, 
and  i'^ssened  the  expenses.  In  these  particulars  we  regaui 
the  afiiiation  as  a  complete  success.  From  tuition  fees  in 
the  Faculty  of  Arts  we  hav'  received  very  little  assiataiioe, 
aa  all  who  enter  the  University  in  that  Faculty  do  so  upon 
pai('  uj)  scholarships.  We  alao  regret  th»t  so  small  an 
amount  has  l>een  obtained  from  subscriptions  and  notes 
which  were  reported  last  year  as  being  due.  Every  one 
in  arrears  has  been  wi'itten  to  during  the  year,  and  pay- 
ment earnestly  urged  in  every  way  likely  to  insure  success ; 
also,  the  ^'ood  offices  of  the  Chairmen  of  Districts  have  been 
solicited  iu  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  (Conference 
Special  Committee,  passed  last  November ;  and  yet  the 
returns,  as  you  may  see  from  the  })alance  sheet,  are  ffu'  from 
being  satisfactory.  HowevfT,  the  amoimt  collected,  small 
as  it  is,  has  assisted  us  in  some  mea-sui-e  to  carry  out  the 
recommendation  which  we  made  in  our  report  last  year,  and 
which  was  accepted  by  the  annual  meeting,  viz.,  to  use  the 
balance  of  the  subscriptions  when  collected  to  ('efiuy  work- 
ing expenses,  and  thus  render  it  unnecessary  to  run  an 
account  at  the  bank  on  the  strength  of  obtaining  the 
accustomed  Parliamentary  Grant.  By  acting  upon  this 
recommeixlation — as  may  be  seen  by  the  balance  sheet — our 
bank  liabilities  are  only  8553  55,  compared  with  $4,384 
last  year.     And  should  the  annual  grant  be  continued,  or

an  equivalent  be  guen  for  it  by  the  LeginUture  trom  some 
fund  at  it8  <liF<])08al,  and  the  balance  still  due  on  BubHcrij)- 
tions  be  collected  and  used  aH  recommende<l — towurdH  pay- 
ing w^orking  expenses — then  thein^  itution  will  be  put  into  a 
position,  with  respect  to  its  finauct^s,  far  more  favorable  tlian 
it  has  o  iipied  for  several  years.  The  Twjimirers  will  then 
have  the  grant  to  begin  tlie  year  ojxirationH  with,  instead 
of  it«  l>eing  used  up  before  the  work  of  the  year  is  entered 
ujwn  ;  but  if  this  balance  shoiild  not  be  paid,  aud  the 
Governnient  be  allowed  to  carry  out  the  policy  resj  "cting 
Denominational  Colleges  of  which  they  have  given  uotice, 
then  very  serious  embarrassment  will  be  the  iiirxitable 
result :  to  prevent  which,  the  friends  of  the  University 
and  of  the  Wesleyan  Methodist  Church  will  have  to  unite 
in  some  plan  to  raise,  at  least  for  a  time,  until  tl.e  question 
is  settled,  a  sufficient  amount  to  make  up  for  even  the 
tem^»orary  loss  of  the  assistance  which  we  have  been  re- 
ceiving for  the  lafjt  25  years  from  tlie  Provincial  Fund?. 
Unless  something  of  this  kind  is  ,>.ne  wo  will  be  com- 
pelled, after  all  that  has  be«!n  done,  to  shut  up  thj  halls  of 
the  University,  and  succnmb  to  a  calamity  too  painful  to 
contemplate.  Agreeably  with  a  resolution  ])a88ed  at  the 
last  Annual  Meeting,  the  Treasurers  have,  dim'ng  th»^  year, 
prepared  a  full  and,  we  trust,  correct  report  of  all  ])aid  up 
subscriptions  and  donations  given  at  different  periods  for 
the  relief  of  the  University,  with  a  brief  account  of  the 
origin  and  progress  of  the  attempts  made  at  diiFerent  ti  mes 
to  put  the  institution  in  circumstances  which  would  relieve 
those  to  whom  the  management  of  its  affaii-s  have  been 
committed  from  painful  anxiety  respecting  its  efficiency  and 
continued  duccess.  From  the  rep(  rt  here  referred  to,  it  may 
be  seen  that  a  very  large  majority  of  our  membei-s  aud

adherents  have  given  us  no  assistance  to  wipe  out  the  ^.ate 
heavy  debt.  There  is  from  some  Circuits  not  a  name  ex- 
cept that  of  the  Superintendent ;  others  having  a  member- 
ship of  sevenil  hundreds,  with  numerous  adherents,  are 
represented  by  some  half  dozen  names.      ,j^,,;  .^4:  •  .^'-k  -v* 

Notwithstanding  this,  the  princely  subscriptions  of  a  few 
noble  friends,  with  the  paid  up  siibscriptions  of  230  of  the 
Ministers  of  the  Connexion,  added  to  the  smaller  olferings 
of  those  who  responded  to  the  call  made  upon  them  to  pay 
as  well  as  to  subscribe,  have  been  sufficient  to  free  our  noble 
University  from  a  heavy  debt,  on  which  an  embarrassing 
amount  of  interest  had  to  be  paid,     '^    >  ^*?:  ;*-!s   t*  ;nr    ;;'  i- 

With  respect  to  tho  future  we  would  have  no  fearji, 
w'3re  it  not  for  the  threatened  change  in  the  educational 
policy  of  the  Government.  Should  that  change  take  place, 
and  our  people  not  come  to  the  rescue  with  an  endow- 
ment of  at  least  $100,000,  or  an  equivalent  for  the 
present  Government  grant,  or  an  annual  subscription  or 
collection  sufficient  to  meet  annual  expenses,  we  must  shut 
up  the  Insticution,  however  reluctant  we  may  be  to  do  so, 
and  abandon  an  enterprise  so  auspiciously  commenced  by 
our  fathers  some  thii-ty-six  years  ago.  It  is  an  encouraging 
fact  that  the  interest  taken  by  our  people  in  higher  educa- 
tion, for  the  youth  of  this  Dominion,  is  increasing  every 
year ;  but  it  is  doubtful  v  bother  it  is  yet  sufficiently 
intensified  to  make  them  willing  to  forego  their  just  claim 
u})on  the  Legislature  and  Goa  emment  of  the  Province  for 
assistance,  and  depend  entirely  upon  private  rest)urce8  for  a 
sufficient  amoimt  to  pay  an  efficient  staff  of  Professors,  and 
furnish  the  facilities  necessar,.'  to  give  the  much  desired 
University  education.  ^

In  closmg  this  Report,  the  Treasurers  would  express  a 
hope  that  the  Board  and  Conference  may  adopt  such 
measures  as  will  enlist  the  sympathy  and  secure  the  co- 
operation 01  all  who  are  interested  in  the  higher  and  proper 
education  of  our  youth,  and  save  Victoria  College  from  the 
disastrous  etfects  of  having  her  pecuniary  resources  crippled. 
Until  the  result  of  the  contemplated  appeal  to  the  country 
is  known,  a  sufficient  sum  in  some  way  or  other  must  be 
provided  to  keep  the  income  of  the  College  from  being  less 
than  it  is  at  present,  or,  as  we  have  before  intimated,  the 
work  of  giving  our  youth  a  Univoi'sity  education,  as  far  as 
we  are  concjerned,  muht  cease  for  the  present. 

All  of  -w'hich  is  most  respectfully  submitted.

at  the  confederation  of  the  British  North  American  Prov-

and  rule  are  a  synonym  of  virtue,  freedom,  progress,  and 
civilization. 

Language  cannot  ^-xpreas  our  abhorrence  of  the  conspiracy 
and  crime  which  have  stricken  down  in  a  moment  a  late 
adviser  of  your  Excellency,  and  an  eloquent  and  earnest 
advocate  of  British  unity,  rule  and  freedom  in  the  Dominion 
of  Canada.  We  doubt  not  the  free  and  loyal  people  of  this 
Dominion  will  ever  be  ready  to  unite  as  the  heart  of  one 
man  to  repel  and  crush  every  conspiracy  and  invasion  which 
may  be  made  against  property,  law,  and  order.

vt      BRITISH    CONFERENCE    OF    1867, 
ADDRESS  OF  THE  W.  M  CONFERENCE  IN  CANADA,  1867. 

Reverend  and  Dear  Brethren, — 

It  is  with  feelings  of  unmingled  satisfaction  that  we 
receive  your  Address.  We  rejoice  greatly  in  the  success 
which  continues  to  attend  your  manifold  labours,  and 
especially  in  the  sure  ground  of  hope  that  the  enlargement 
of  your  bcirders,  now  reported,  is  the  pledge  of  yet  more 
Abundant  increase  in  years  to  come.  We  note  with  joy, 
for  instance,  the  hold  which  I.j^ethodism  is  taking  of  the 
young  people  of  Canada,  as  eviiiced  by  the  number  of  Un- 
dergraduates in  Victoria  University,  and  of  pupils  in  the 
Female  College.  As  a  Church,  you  have  done  well  in 
making  provision  for  the  education  and  culture  of  the  sons

and  daughters  of  intelligent  Methodists.  It  is  worth  much 
to  have  the  moulding  of  the  mind,  and  the  direction  of  the 
taste  and  studies,  of  our  young  people ;  and  the  Church 
which  secures  this  advantage  goes  far  to  bespeak  for  herself 
a  prosperous  future.  And  whilst  you  are  thus  providing 
specifically  for  the  Christian  culture  of  the  middle  and 
upper  classes  in  College  and  University,  you  establish  and 
multiply  Sunday  Schools  for  the  religious  instruction,  on 
the  Lord's  day,  of  the  children  of  the  poor.  In  the  statistics 
••elating  to  your  Sabbath  Schools,  there  are  two  things 
which  excite  our  grateful  satisfaction :  the  number  of 
scholars  who  meet  in  class,  and  the  number  of  volumes  in 
the  libraries.  We  infer  from  them  that  the  policy  of  your 
Sunday  Schools  is  directed  by  men  of  broad  intelligence  and 
earnest  godliness.  As  a  rule,  if  our  senior  scholars  leave 
the  Sunday  School  undecided  for  the  Lord  Jesus,  their 
conversion  in  after  yeara  is  most  uncertain,  and,  as  a  matter 
of  fact,  rarely  occurs.  Too  much  importance,  therefore,  can- 
not be  attached  to  the  salvation  of  our  scholars,  and  their 
voluntary  association  with  the  people  of  God  whilst  they  are 
sdiolara  ;  and  your  sustained  and  pmyerful  efforts  to  secure 
these  objects  will  doubtless  be  owned,  in  yet  larger  measure, 
by  the  favour  and  blessings  of  Him  who  is  "  the  Head  over 
all  things  to  the  Church."  We  cherish  a  strong  confidence 
that  in  all  your  educational  institutions,  you  will  continue 
to  train  up  the  children  and  youth  of  your  societies  and 
congregations  in  the  doctrines,  privileges,  and  duties  of  the 
Christian  religion ;  and  that,  whilst  so  doing,  God,  even  our 
own  God,  will  cause  you  to  "joy  before  Him  according  to 
the  joy  in  harvest,  and  as  men  rejoice  when  they  divide  the 
spoil."

We  are  tlimikful  to  note  fitrther  that,  both  among  the 
new  settlements  and  Indian  tribes,  your  Missionary  work  has 
been  marked  by  unabated  progress.  We  look  at  this  fact 
in  the  light  of  your  godly  care  for  "^he  young  people  who 
are  growing  up  in  your  midst,  and  we  rejoice.  It  is  only 
as  we  are  at  once  conservative  and  aggressive,  that  the  true 
end  of  our  existence  as  a  Church  can  be  reached.  If,  on  the 
one  hand,  we  seek  to  enlarge  our  borders,  but,  at  the  same 
time,  fail  to  pi'eserve  to  Methodism  her  own  children,  the 
jx)wer  of  ejitension  is  impaired,  and  a  collapse  is  imminent. 
If,  on  the  other  hf^nd.  we  care  only  to  kef.^p  and  cherish 
those  already  under  our  influence,  wo  close  against  our- 
selves a  field  of  labour  which  calls  into  exercise  the  noblesft 
feeliiigs  of  the  "  new  man,"  and  furnishes  a  sphere  for  the 
manifestation  of  the  loftiest  Christian  heroism  ;  and  we 
forfeit,  moreover,  the  crowning  benediction  of  Him  who 
came  *'  to  seek  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost."  In  our 
children  we  '*  have  a  goodly  heiitage,"  which,  by  all  means, 
and  at  any  cost,  we  must  keep  and  cultivate.  It  is  amongst 
Churches  which  are  aggressive  in  their  genius  and  organiza- 
tion, that  "the  light  of  the  moon"  may  become  "as  the  light 
of  the  sun,  and  the  light  of  the  sun  sevenfold,  as  the  light 
of  seven  days."  In  both  departments  of  service  you  have 
the  promise  of  a  God  who  keepeth  covenant.  Not  only 
has  he  said, — "  I  will  pour  water  on  him  that  is  thirsty, 
and  floods  upon  the  dry  ground  ;"  but  also,  **  I  will  pour 
My  Spint  upon  thy  seed,  and  my  blessing  upon  thine  off- 
spring." In  your  past  history  and  present  condition  we 
mark  the  fulfillment  of  these  promises.  A  succession  of 
faithful  men,  offering  themselves  for  the  work  and  office 
of  the  Christian  ministry,  represents  the  rich  and  abiding

benediction  of  the  Moat  High  tipon  your  Church.  Every 
candidate  for  ordination  is  the  result  of  much  labour 
crowned  by  the  blessing  of  God.  To  make  one  true  Min- 
ister requires  a  combin^ion  of  circunistencea  and  influences, 
— of  privileges  offered  and  opportunities  embraced.  Such  a 
macQ  i«  the  fruit  of  Divine  grace,  and  of  a  providence  equally 
Divine,  working  together  to  thia  end  ;  and  no  stronger 
proof  cf  the  presence  and  power  of  Christ  in  a  Chiirch  can 
be  desired  than  the  foi*thcoming,  from  year  to  year,  of  young 
mon  who  prove  themselves  "  able  Ministers  of  the  New 
Testiunent."  We  rejoice  exceedingly  that,  in  your  Church, 
the  hright  succession  coB»tinues  to  run  on,  and  we  pray  that 
Methodism  in  Canada  may  ''not  want  a  man  to  stand  be 
fore"  the  Lord  ♦'  forever." 

During  the  last  year  the  hand  of  our  God  has  also  been 
upon  us  for  good.  A  mighty  impulse  was  given  to  th» 
faith  and  hope  of  the  as'^eiubled  Ministers  by  a  conversation 
on  the  state  of  the  work  of  God,  which  took  place  on  one 
of  the  early  days  of  the  last  Conference.  On  returning  to 
his  Circuit,  the  cry  went  up  to  heaven  &om  the  heart  and 
lips  of  many  a  Minister,  '*  Save  now, '  I  beseech  Thee,  O 
Lord ;  I  beseech  Thee,  send  now  prosperity."  Amongst 
preachers  and  people  there  was  felt  a  quickened  sense  of 
individual  responsibility  ;  and  it  was  not  long  before,  in 
several  places,  "  prayer  was  made  without  ceasing  of  the 
Church  unto  God,"  for  the  immediate  outpouring  of  the 
Spirit.  Special  efforts  were  put  forth,  not  only  to  reach 
"  them  that  are  without,"  but  also  to  win  for  Christ  the 
unconvorted  in  our  Sabbath  Schools  and  congregationa  In 
many  of  our  Circuits  a  great  work  of  God  soon  appeared. 
The  ordinary  means  of  grace  were  made  the  channels  of

awakening  and  converting  power.  In  some  instances,  the 
influence  of  the  Holy  Spirit  wa»  bo  plenteouo  and  iMJi-vasive, 
that  the  routine  of  Sabbath  School  instruction  merged  into 
a  prayer-meeting,  and  scores  of  young  persons  sought  and 
found  ademption  through  the  blood  of  Christ,  even  the 
forgiveness  of  sins.  In  other  Circuits  the  hand  of  God 
was  seen  in  the  gathering  together  of  men  and  women  who 
had  not  been  wont  to  attend  the  house  of  prayer.  To  these 
the  glorious  Gospel  has  come  with  the  force  and  freshness 
of  a  new  revelation  of  "  good  tidings  of  great  joy  ;"  and  in 
the  change  wrought  in  the  heart  and  life  of  such  as  these, 
we  have  recognized  an  illustration  of  the  words  of  Christ : 
*'  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  treasure  hid  in  a  field, 
the  which  when  a  man  hath  found,  he  hideth,  and  for  joy 
thereof  goeth  and  selloth  all  that  he  hath,  and  buyeth  that 
field." 

Our  net  increase  upon  the  year  is  5,887  j  but  in  a  Church 
numbering  337,070  members,  probably  not  fewer  than 
15,000  die  yearly.  We  conclude,  therefore,  that  during  the 
last  twelve  months  more  than  20,000  persons  have  been 
gathered  out  of  the  world,  and  are  now  "  written  among  the 
living  in  Jerusalem."  ♦'  Blessed  be  the  Ix)rd  God,  the  God 
of  Israel,  who  only  doeth  wondrous  things."  It  is  not,  how- 
ever, our  purpose  to  convey  the  idea  that  we  are  content 
with  the  progress  made  during  the  past  year.  Whilst  we 
ai"e  devoutly  thankful,  we  are  very  far  from  being  satisfied. 
Our  facilities  for  usefuln'^as  are  evw  increasing.  There  are 
the  new  congregations  assembling  in  the  commodious  chapels 
recently  erected,  and  there  are  the  dense  populations  to 
which  we  have  gained  access  by  means  of  our  Home  Mission 
Agency ;  not  to  Attention  the  656,602  children  and  young

people  in  our  Sabbath  Schools.  Theee  circuaistances,  viewed 
in  connection  with  promises  which  are  «'  exceedingly  great 
and  precious,"  warrant  \m  in  looking  for  an  increase  far 
beyond  any  which  it  has  yet  been  our  privilege  to  record. 
It  is  our  desire  and  hope  that,  in  every  Circuit,  we  and 
our  people  may  "  know  the  gift  of  God,"  and,  in  his  ap- 
pointed way,  "wait  for  the  promise  of  the  Father,"  until  the 
8pirit  be  poured  upon  us  from  on  high,  and  "  the  wilderness 
be  a  fruitful  field,  and  the  fruitful  field  be  counted  for  a 
forest." 

We  have  much  pleasure  in  acceding  to  your  request,  in 
appointing  the  Eev.  W.  Morley  Punshon,  A.M.,  the  Presi- 
dent of  your  next  Annual  Conference,  and  hope  that  he 
nmy  be  able  to  arrange  previously  to  visit  various  places  in 
your  Connexion,  greatly  to  the  advantage  of  our  common 
Master's  cause. 

We  have  pleasure  in  also  appointing  as  Co-Delegate  the 
Rev.  Lachlan  Taylor,  D.D.,  according  to  your  request. 

We  commend  you  and  your  work  afresh  to  the  blessing 
of  our  common  Lord.

HsvEREyD  Fathers  and  BRETiifitir,->- 

We  acknowledge  with  heartfelt  thankfulness  your 
parental  and  loost  instructive  and  encouraging  address. 
Wliile  its  statements  afford  us  grateful  satisfivction,  its  sug- 
gestive counsels  will,  we  trust,  prompt  uh  and  our  congrega- 
tions to  still  more  devout  and  energetic  industry  in  those 
Taried  labours  for  the  up-building  of  believei-s,  the  education 
and  training  of  youth,  and  the  conversion  of  sinners,  which 
constitute  the  vocation  and  duties  of  the  Church  of  Christ. 

We  rejoioe  with  you  in  your  enjoyment  of  perfect  peace 
and  great  pi'os[)erity  as  a  Church.  We  will  not  repeat  the 
statistics  of  our  last  year's  address ;  but  w^e  are  humbly  thank  - 
ful  to  be  able  to  say,  that  throughout  all  our  societies  and  con- 
gi-egatioris  there  is  not  a  ripple  of  agitation ;  thero  is  tn.dy 
the  unity  of  the  Spirit  in  the  bonds  of  peace  ;  and  in  every 
department  of  our  work — in  our  Circuits,  Missions,  Univer- 
sity, Colleges,  Sabbath  Schools,  in  spiritual  prosperity, 
numbers,  and  Connexional  Funds,  there  has  been  a  larger 
increase  than  even  during  the  preceding  year.  In  our  last 
address  to  you,  while  we  guve  a  statistical  summary  of  the 
prog'-ess  of  our  work,  we  expressed  our  humbling  and  pain-

might  bo  at  all  times  enligl  toned,  emiwwered,  and  anoin+^ed 
for  every  part  of  our  great  work,  and  find  it  our  meat  and

abouiuliug  in  the  work  of  the  Lord  ;  looking  for  the  fullness 
of  the  blessing  in  our  own  souls,  and  in  our  congregations. 

Those  covenant  engiigcsments  we  have  endeavored  to  keep, 
though  with  many  short-comings  and  imi)erfections  ;  and  the 
Lord  of  the  husbandr)  has  granted  us  already,  from  our  seeds 
of  tears  and  toils,  to  rt ap  in  joy  a  harvest  of  uni)recedente<l 
succebs.  In  no  one  year  have  our  people  erected  so  many 
(Tommo<lious  places  of  worship,  most  of  them  fi-ee  from  debt, 
and  none  of  them  with  embarrassing  debt ;  in  no  one  year 
have  all  our  funds  been  so  liberally  sustained  ;  and  fo"  many 
ye«rs  there  has  not  Ijeen  so  large  -m  increase  of  members, 
wlule  the  disciplinax-y  conditions  of  membership  have  been 
faithfully  maintained. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  to  the  Son,  and  to  tlie  Holy  Ghost, 

that  our  churches  have  thus  had  rest  throughout  the  land, 

and  have  been  edified  ;  and  walking  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord 

and  in  the  comfort  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  have  becu  multiplied. 

We  thank  God  and  take  courage, — aided  by  19  newly  or- 

Mained  ministers,  and  29  preachers  received  on  trial,  and 

with  a  membership  of  upwards  of  sixty  thousand.     We  con- 

pecrate  oui-selves  afresh  to  our  blessed  Lord  and  Master,  and 

■|)ledge  oui-selves  tc  ^ach  other  anew  in  the  one  glorious  work 

of  spreading  scriptural  holiness  over  this  land.

To  th3  religious  instruction  of  all  the  childron  of  our 
churcii  we  can  not  attach  too  much  importance,  or  bestow 
too  n.uch  attention  fcnd  labour,  knowing  tliat  tine  Divine  pro' 
mise  appertains  to  our  offspring  as  abundantly  as  to  our- 
selves, and  that  I'pon  \is  devolves  the  duty  and  the  i^sjwnsi- 
bility  of  applying  and  perpetuating  the  blessings  of  that 
promise. 

Our  Female  College  at  Hamilton  is  pursuing  its  noble 
work  with  undiminished  success  in  the  higher  education  of 
the  daughters  of  our  people  ;  and  the  University  of  Victoria 
C!ollege  continues  t.o  multiply  the  bestowments  of  corres- 
ponding benefits  upon  their  sens,  rendering,  at  the  same  time, 
service  to  our  rainiatry,  by  the  sujierior  education  of  many  of 
our  yov»ng  men.  We  pu»'pose  the  present  year,  by  the 
Divine  blessing,  to  make  a  general  effort  for  the  more  efli- 
cient  and  permanent  endowment  of  Victoria  College,  and 
the  establishment  of  a  Divinity  Chair,  in  order  to  secure 
more  systematic  and  thorough  theological  training  for  our 
future  Ministry. 

To  promote  these  important  undertakings,  as  well  as  for 
the  V>e8t  interests  of  our  Church  and  coiuitry  at  large,  we 
believe  tliat  the  residence  and  lalwura  of  our  President,  the 
Rev.  William  Moai^Y  Punshon,  A.M.,  would  be  of  very 
great  value.  We  thank  you  sincerely  for  his  appointment ; 
and  we  would  respectfully  and  earnestly  solicit  your  kind- 
ness in  permitting  him  to  reside  and  labour  in  Canada,  at 
least  for  a  term  of  years,  subject,  in  the  mea*^  time,  to  thf

For  the  interest  and  spirituality  of  our  proceedings,  as  well 
as  for  the  rapid  despatch  of  business,  we  are  much  inde^)ted, 
under  God,  to  the  example,  courtesy  and  rema  kable  business 
and  administrative  talents  of  our  honored  President, 

We  go  forth  to  our  appointed  fields  of  toil  with  one  heart 
and  aini,  imploring  an  apostolic  baptism  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
upon  ourselves  and  our  congregations,  that  we  may  witness 
throughout  the  length  und  breadth  of  our  land  the  spread 
of  pure  religion  and  an  increase  of  that  righteousness  which 
exalteth  a  nation.

Bev.  and  Dear  Brethren, — 

Your  welcome  address,  with  cheering  tidings  of  peace  and 
prosperity,  greatly  refreshed  our  spirics. 

We  have  hailed  with  unspeakable  pleasure,  as  an  ex- 
pression of  good  will  and  fraternal  sympathy,  the  presence 
of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Taylor  and  the  Rev.  Wra  Stephenson* 
Their  eloquent  and  graphic  details  of  your  widely  extended 
and  glorious  toil,  of  earnest  and  successful  Circuit  work, 
educational  enterprise,  missionary  offorc,  consolidation  in 
populous  centres,  and  expansion  in  remote  districts,  have 
been  listened  to  with  profound  and  griteful  interest. 

We  have  in  our  own  Conferencei  and  Connexion  one 
hundred  and  forty  four  Ministers,  including  Supernumb' 
raries  and  Preachers  on  probation  ;  fourteen  thousand  eis^ut 
hundred  and  seventy-three  pevsons  iit  Church  membersiiip, 
with  seventeen  hundred  on  trial ;  nearly  fifteen  thousand 
children  in  our  Sabbath  Schools,  with  seventy-one  thousand 
five  hundred  and  ninety-thi'ee  estimated  attendants  upon 
public  worship.  Though  pi-eliminarr-^  negotiations  for  pro- 
posed ecclesiastical  union  have  failel  for  the  present,  we 
rejoice  to  kr'^w  that  existing  obstjides  are  temporary,  and 
cherish  the  hope  that  sucli  an  organization  may  be  speedily 
and  siiccessfully  inaiigu  rated. 

We  cannot  at  this  crisis  in  the  history  of  our  country 
but  feel  a  deep  interest  in  public  movements  and  political 
changes  ',  but,  while  striving  to  rueet  juid  to  fulfill  avgmeuted

resiwnsibilities,  which  such  a  transition  period  involves  we 
do  not  forget  that  our  great  mission  is  to  spread  Scriptural 
holiness,  and  that  the  pressing  need  of  the  present  time  is 
the  revival  of  earnest  Christianity. 

In  the  spirit  of  patriotism  and  of  piety,  for  the  weal  of 
our  country  and  the  welfare  of  Zion,  remembering  your 
interests  in  common  with  our  own,  we  feiveatly  invoke  that 
blessing  -"/ithout  which  all  human  agency  is  worthless. 

"And  let  the  beauty  of  the  Lord  oui;  God  be  upon  us; 
and  establish  Thou  the  work  of  our  hands  upon  us ;  yea, 
the  work  of  our  hands  establish  Thou  it." 

Signed  by  order  and  in  behalf  of  the  Conference.

OF  THE 


WESLEYAN  METHODIST  CONFERENCE  IN  CANADA, 

TO  THE 

W.  M.  CONFERENCE   OP  EASTERN  BRITISH  AMERICA. 


Rev.  and  Dear  Brkthrfn,— 

We  have  listened  with  delight  to  your  truly  fraternal 
addresa.  The  cordial  reception  given  to  the  beloved  Brother 
who  conveyed  to  you  our  greetings,  has  been  highlj-^  grati- 
fying to  us.  Wo  rejoice  that  your  field  of  labour,  in  com- 
mon with  the  general  area  of  Methodistic  ground,  has  been 
'*  favoured  with  religious  prosperity  in  its  best  and  most  de- 
sirable forms." 

The  patriotic  sentiments  which  you  have  uttered,  and  the 
interests  which,  as  fellow-subjects,  you  take  in  iiie  welfare 
of  the   Dominion,  Imve  afforded  us  much  pleasure.     We 


120 


MINUTES  OF  TUB  CANADA 


1868.] 


cordially  co  operate  with  you  in  this  matter.  We  are,  more- 
over, fully  persuaded  that  a  tnily  Evangelical  Ministry  is 
designed  and  fitted  to  give  every  man  a  properly  enlightened 
conscience,  and  thus  to  provide  the  best  safeguard  of  the 
person,  the  charactez',  the  property,  tlie  rights,  and  privileges 
of  our  fellow-couni&rymen.  We  believe  that  the  truth  as  it 
is  in  Jesus  can  more  than  any  thing  else  promote  that 
delightful  union  of  personal  freedom,  with  united  submissica 
to  Uw,  which  is  specially  exhibited  in  the  loved  and 
honoured  country  that  presides  over  us,  and  which  foreign 
visitors  have  looked  on  with  wonder  and  admiration. 

We  rejoice  still  more  that  your  best  energies  are  devoted 
to  the  spiritual  and  eternal  biterests  of  men.  In  these 
days  of  ceremonial  eccentricity,  of  unenlightened  rationalism, 
and  other  "  childish  things,"  it  is  peculiarly  cheering  to  see 
the  various  branches  of  Methodist  Christianity  manifesting 
the  ancient  and  apostolical  zeal  for  the  promotion  of  the 
glory  of  Grod  by  the  salvation  of  men  ;  pointing  them  to  a 
Divine  Redeemer,  a  Divine  Pardoner,  a  Divine  Hanctifier, 
"  that  they  may  obtain  the  salvation  which  is  in  Chiist  Jesus, 
with  eternal  glory."  We,  too,  make  the  salvation  of  souls 
the  grand  end,  and  the  Divine  gosjiel  plan  the  grand  means. 

By  the  liberality  of  our  members  we  have  been  enabled 
to  take  up  a  new  Mission  in  the  Red  River  Settlement,  and 
one  to  the  savage  tribe  of  Blackfeet  Indians,  near  the 
Rocky  Mountains.  We  are  giving  inci-<eaaed  attention  to 
the  religious  instruction  of  juveniles,  under  the  deep  and 
solemn  conviction  that  the  Christian  Church  has,  in  many 
phices,  lost,  through  negligence,  from  the  families  of  her 
own  members,  more  than  the  number  of  adults  gained  from 
Ijhe  vorld  by  revival  efforts.  We  have  held  several  Saubftth 
School  Conventions  during  the  past  year,  and  purpose  to

hold  them  in  future  in  connection  with  every  May  District 
Meeting. 

We  have  810  Sabbath  Schools,  an  mcrease  of  89  ;  61,321 
scholars,  an  increase  of  3,126  ;  of  these,  7,518  are  over  16 
yoEirs  of  age,  an  increase  of  1,600  ;  and  4,311  meet  in  class, 
an  increase  of  705.  Our  Church  membership  is  60,400,  an 
increase  of  1,943.  Our  Ministers  and  Preachei-s  number 
553  ;  of  these,  2 1  have  been  ordained  at  this  Conference, 
and  29  received  on  tnal.  Six  preachers  have  been  favored 
with  permission  vo  avail  themselves  for  this  year  of  thj 
advantages  of  Victoria  University.  We  regret  that  these 
do  not  yet  include  the  tuition  of  a  theological  professor. 
We  confidently  exptict,  however,  that  the  time  is  near  when 
such  a  chair  will  be  established.  We  congratulate  you, 
dear  brethren,  on  being  in  advance  of  us  in  this  important 
matter.  Our  o<Jucational  institutions  in  other  resj,)ects,  are, 
like  yours,  highly  efficient  and  influentirj. 

Our  brotherly  greetings  will  be  borne  to  you  by  our 
highly  gifted  and  greatly  beloved  President.  We  wish  you, 
and  we  can  scai'cely  wish  you  a  higher  favoiu",  that  you 
may  experience  blessings  similar  to  those  which  we  felt 
through  the  gracious  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  in  the 
Sabbath  ministrations,  and  in  the  services  and  sessions  of 
the  present  Conference.        ^ 

"  And  the  Lord  make  you  to  increase  and  abound  in  love, 
one  toward  another,  and  toward  all  men,  even  as  we  do 
toward  you,  to  the  end  he  may  establich  your  hearts  un- 
blamable in  holiness  before  God,  even  our  Father,  at  the 
coming  of  our  Lord  J^sus  Christ  with  all  his  saints."

THE  ANNUAL  ADDRESS 

OF  THE 

CONFERENCE  OF  THE  WESLEYAN  METHODIST 
CHURCH  IN  CANADA, 

TO  THB 

MEMBERS  OF  THE  CHURCH  UNDER  ITS  CARE. 


Dearly  Beloved  Brethren, — 

We  gladly  improve  the  opportunity  afforded  by  our 
annual  mer  ng,  to  address  to  you  our  accustomed  words  of 
pastoral  greeting,  counsel,  and  admonition.  We  devoutly 
rejoice,  beloved,  in  the  evidences  of  the  Divine  presence  by 
which  we  have  been  sustained  and  encouraged  in  the  toils 
and  trials  of  another  year.  Amid  the  opposition  of  the 
world,  the  subtle  and  powerful  assaults  of  u  plausible  infi* 
delity,  and  the  prevailing  unbelief  and  enmit)'  of  unrenewed 
hearts,  the  message  of  life,  which  we  proclaim  at  God's 
compidud,  still  attests  its  divine  power  to  enlighten  and 
renew  the  sinful  heart — to  lift  men  up  from  the  slavery 
and  defilement  of  sin,  into  the  glorious  liberty  of  the  chil- 
dren of  God, 

After  supplying  the  losses  occasioned  by  deatlis,  removals, 
and  unfaithfulness,  the  returns  from  the  Districts  show  an 
increase  in  our  church  membership,  during  the  past  year,  of 
nearly  2,000.  This  increase,  though  affording  no  room  for 
self-gratulation,  we  nevertheless  take  as  an  encouraging 
token  that  the  Gospel  of  Christ  is  still  the  power  of  God 
to  the  salvation  of  ever;-  one  that  believeth  ;  and  the 
numerous  proofs  of  the  Divine  faithfulness,  so  clearly  seen 
in  our  past  history,  inspire  us  with  joyful  confidence  that 


^p

a«  long  as  -'e  walk  by  the  samf)  rule  and  mind  tlie  sarae 
thing — as  long  as  we  honor  God  with  the  unfaltering  trust 
of  our  hearts,  and  labor  in  unity  of  faith  and  prayer  for  the 
glory  of  Christ,  Crod,  even  our  own  (iod,  will  be  our  defence 
and  salvation. 

This  being  the  year  for  making  returns  of  church  proj). 
erty,  we  are  able  to  make  the  gratifying  announcement  that 
the  estimated  value  of  the  property  possessed  by  our  church 
amounts  to  the  large  su-u  of  $2,12G,246  ;  a  sum  that  at 
once  attests  the  rapid  growth  of  our  church  in  this  country, 
and  the  peerless  liberality  of  our  people,  for  -w  hich  we 
render  devout  thanks  to  Him  who  puts  it  into  the  hearts  of 
his  sex'vants  to  devise  liberal  things. 

But  we  should  never  forget  that  our  triumphs  over  "  every 
high   thing   that   exalteth  itself  against    the  knowledge  of 
Gotl,"  our  progress  and  power  as  a  branch  of  the  Church 
of  Christ,  depend,  not  upon  material  progress,  or  increa.se  of 
wealth,  bui,  upon  our  "steadfast  adherence  to  the  same  great 
essential  truths,  and  the  same  living  expenences  of  God's 
power  to  save  from  all  sin,  that  have  been  our  strength  and 
joy  from  the  beginning.     When  we  begin  to  hold  the  truth 
with  a  feeble  and  temporizing  hand,  or  cease  to  look  for 
thoire  practical  results  in  the  heart  and  life,  that  are  the  only 
true  evidences  of  a  scriptural  and   vital   Christianity,  our 
glory  and  power  will  depart.     Many  sad  examples  teach  us 
that  a  church  may  maintain,  in  its  formularies  and  creeds, 
"  the  form  of  sound  words,"  while  destitute  of  that  inner 
spiiitual  life,  without  which  all  tokens  of   external  pros- 
perity are   only  like  flowers  tliat  bloom   over  decay  and 
death. 

Since  our  last  Conference  the  io  ng^prqjected  Confederation 
of   these  Provinces  has  been  carried  into  effect ;  and  our 


m

country  has  taken  a  higher  position  among  the  enlightened 
nations  of  the  eai*th.  This  now  |>olitical  position  imposes 
upon  all  true  patriots  imjxjrtant  civil  and  religious  obliga- 
tions. You  should,  thei-efoi-e,  Brethren,  rise  above  merely 
local  and  pei'sonal  ixiterests  to  a  broad  and  earnest  sympathy 
with  all  that  promotes  the  true  progress  and  elevation  of 
your  country.  In  the  Providence  of  God  its  future  destiny 
ifl  largely  committed  to  your  keeping.  By  cherishing  a 
loyal  and  intelligent  attachment  to  the  goodly  land  that  the 
Loixl  our  God  has  given  us — by  faithful  efforts  to  dissemi- 
nate the  sanctifying  truth  of  the  gospel  through  eve»*y  portion 
of  this  vast  Dominion — by  viewing  the  gi-eat  questions  of 
the  day  in  the  light  of  the  teachings  of  the  New  Testament 
— by  electing  to  our  Legislative  bodies  men  of  integrity  and 
moral  worth — and,  above  all,  by  living  upright,  indus- 
trious, and  godly  lives,  you  will  aid  in  lifting  up  our  country 
to  a  higher  moral  altitude,  and  making  her  a  centre  of  light 
and  benign  mfluenoes  to  brighten  and  bless  future  genera- 
tions. 

We  would  again  commend  to  your  serious  regard  the 
great  subject  of  the  religious  education  of  the  children  of 
the  Church.  It  cannot  be  questioned  that  the  want  of  godly 
fidelity,  in  the  early  and  susceptible  years  of  childhood,  has 
l)een  followed,  in  innumerable  instances,  by  the  most  de- 
plorable consequences.  While  it  is  the  duty  of  christian 
jwrents  *o  co-operate  to  the  utmost  of  their  ability  in  sus- 
taining and  promoting  the  efficiency  of  Sunday  School  agen- 
cies, they  should  never  forget  that  they  cannot  delegate  to  any 
agency  whatever  the  obligation  which  God  has  clearly  laid 
upon  them  to  "  bring  up  their  children  in  the  nurture  and 
admonition  of  the  Lord."  Suffer  us  to  say  to  you  who  are 
parents, — Let  the  religious  welfare  of  your  children  secure

your  chief  regard.  The  highest  earthly  good  is  not  wortliy 
to  be  compared  with  this.  If  parents  constantly  show  in 
their  lives  that  wealth,  social  position,  or  worldly  honor  are 
regarded  by  them  as  objects  of  higher  interest  than  personal 
godliness,  it  need  not  cause  wonder  if  the  children  of  such 
parents  grow  up  with  a  low  estimate  of  the  impoi-tance  of 
(tersonal  religion,  and  destitute  of  an  experience  of  its 
power.  The  wisest  words  of  admonition  will  have  little 
practical  influence,  if  not  sustained  by  the  consistent  example 
of  a  holy  life. 

At  the  present  time,  when  the  influence  of  the  press  is  so 
rapidly  increasing,  and  publications,  calculated  to  mislead 
and  corrupt,  ai*e  scattered  broad-cast  over  the  land,  it  is  of 
the  utmost  importance  that  the  minds  of  the  young  be  en- 
lightened and  fortified  by  the  study  of  a  literature  morally 
health;',  and  scripturally  sound.  Many  of  the  works  of 
fiction,  issued  from  the  press  of  the  day,  as  well  as  the  tales 
which  appear  in  the  monthly  and  weekly  r^riodicals,  sneer 
at  religion,  and  stealthily  insinuate  the  poison  of  erroneous 
sentiments.  Such  works,  in  addition  to  the  ordinary  effect 
of  cretting  a  morbid  and  unhealthy  mental  excitement, 
have  also  an  unquestionable  tendency  to  pervert  the  judg- 
ment and  corrupt  the  heart.  Let  such  publications  be  ri- 
gorously excluded  from  your  families,  and  only  such  litera- 
ture supplied  as  will  strengthen  the  intellect,  inform  the 
judgment,  and  improve  the  heart 

Our  various  Oonnexional  Funds,  repre^senting  important 
interests,  so  well  sustained  by  you  in  the  past,  we  again 
commend  to  your  liberal  support.  The  emergencies  of  the 
work  have  prompted  us  to  send  out  three  new  missionaries 
to  the  Hudson's  Bay  Territory,  trusting  in  your  liberality  to

enable  us  to  mjet  the  increased  expense  of  this  extension  of 
otir  work. 

The  position  of  otir  TJnivermty,  in  consequence  of  the 
proposed  withdrawal  of  the  annual  grant  by  the  Govern- 
ment of  Ontario,  makes  the  present  a  trying  crisis  in  its 
liistcry.  Its  claims  and  interests  will  l)e  brought  before  you 
through  other  channels  ;  but  we  confidently  hope,  whatever 
may  be  the  action  of  the  lyegislature,  that  the  intelligent 
zeal  and  liberality  of  a  loyal  and  united  people  will  not  suffer 
the  overthrow  of  an  institution,  founded  by  the  wiadom  and 
piety  of  our  fathers,  and  intimately  connected,  during  its 
history,  with  the  prtstige  uid  progress  of  our  Church  in 
Canada. 

We  rejoice  to  inform  you,  Brethren,  that  our  Conference 
has  been  one  of  much  harmony  and  peace.  We  retire  from 
this  annual  gathering  to  our  different  fields  of  toil  and  duty 
with  deepened  convictions  that  our  sucf^ess  in  this  great  work 
essentially  depends  upon  the  presence  of  the  Master  ;  and 
we  earnestly  pray  that  God  may  so  quicken  and  V)aptize  us 
with  the  Spirit  of  power  from  on  high,  that  we  may  j)reach 
the  blessed  gospel  of  peace,  "  not  with  enticing  woids  of 
man's  wisdom,  b\it  in  demonstration  of  the  Spirit  and  of 
power." 

In  conclusion,  Brethren,  we  ask  your  earnest  sympathy, 
zealous  co-operation,  and  united  prayers  in  our  efforts  to 
extend  the  Kingdom  of  our  Divine  Redeemer  through  eveiy 
jx)rtion  of  our  country.  Keep  yourselves  in  the  love  of  God, 
that  you  may  have  power  efficiently  to  labor  for  his  glory. 
"Abstain  from  all  appearrnce  of  evil."  "  Let  your  light  so 
shine  before  men  that  they  may  see  your  good  works,  and 
glorify  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven."     '*  For  so  is  the

will  of  God,  that  with  well-doing  ye  may  put  to  sileuce  the 
igcoianee  of  foolish  men." 

Be  punctual  and  faithful  in  your  attendance  on  all  thoBo 
means  of  Hplritual  holj*  and  refreHhment  which  God  has  made 
it  your  privilege  to  enjoy.     Read  luid  study  the  word  of  (.UA 
not  merely  for  the  sake  of  inci-etudng  your  knowledge  of  the 
truth,   but  for  the    strengthening  of  your  faith,  and  the 
quickening  of  the  life  of  God  witliin  you.     Forget  not,  be- 
loved, that  you  are  stewards  of  the  manifold  gmce  of  God. 
Be  instant,  therefore,  in  season  and  out  of  season,  in  seeking 
to  lead  the  guilty  and  ignorant  around  you  to  a  saving 
knowledge  of  the  living  Saviour.     "  In  due  eeuson  we  shall 
reap,  if  we  faint  not."    And  as  your  happiness,  your  useful- 
ness, and  your  safety  depend  upon  your  personal  holiness, 
continue  to  hunger  and  thirst  after   righteousness  that  ye 
may  be  filled.     Pray  without  ceasing,  that  the  God  of  all 
grace  may  enrich  you  with  heavenly  wisdom,  and  at  last 
"  present  you  faultless,  before  the  presence  of  his  glory,  with 
exceeding  joy." 

"  Now  the  God  of  peace,  that  brought  again  from  the 
dead  our  Lord  Jesus,  that  great  Shepherd  of  the  sheep, 
through  the  blood  of  the  everlasting  covenan'.,  make  you 
perfect  in  every  good  work  to  do  his  will,  working  in  you 
that  which  is  well-pleasing  in  his  sight,  through  Jesus  Christ ; 
to  whom  be  glory  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen."
