INSTEAD OF A PREFACE.
The Coming Revival
When will it come ? When we are ready for it.
We cannot organize a revival, but we can organize
ourselves.
The Marconi message comes only to the ship
which has at the mast-head, a tiny instrument tuned
into therythm of the instrument from which the mes-
sage comes. We have to get in tune with the Infinite.
We have to bring our thoughts to the rythm of his
thoughts who said, '*! am come to seek and to save
that which was lost."
We haye tried to spread Christianity by quiet
methods of propagation. It is not spreading. We
want not propagation but propaganda It is not
enough to develope ; we have to conquer. We need
more than slow accretion ; we have to go out and
make disciples.
There is force enough already in the churches
to conquer the world. But it must be mobilized.
Let us pray for the spirit of faith and en-
thusiasm.
W. J. DAWSON.

ANNUAL REPORT.
We would express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for
His mercies during the past year, and rejoice that in His Provi-
dence we are assembled in this Fifty-second Annual Meeting
of our Union.
Yv'^e extend our greetings to the Toronto churches, whose
hospitality we are enjoying, and especially to Bond Street
Church, whose buildings have been so freely placed at our dis-
posal. We congratulate the church upon the settlement of the
Rev. J. B. Silcox as pastor, and pray that great blessing may
come to pastor and people iii their new relationship.
It is with deep sorrow we report the death of three breth-
ren, who for many years were honored members of this Union
—the Revs. M. S. Gray, Charles Duff, M.A., and John Wood.
Mr. Wood was one of the original members of the Union, and
during the lifty-one years of its existence was in attendance at
every meeting except one, his visit to the Holy Land causing the
exception.
It will be our privilege to have as the guest of the Union
the Rev. John Brown, B.A., D.D., of Bedford, England, ex-
Chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales,
UNION OF ONTARIO AND QUEBEC 33
and Chairman of the Colonial Missionary Society. Dr. Brown
comes, by appointment of the Union of England and Wales,
to convey greetings and to confer with ns in the important mat-
ters that will engage our attention during the sessions of the
Union. We assure him of our hearty welcome.
We welcome also the Eev. C. H. Patten, D.D., Home Secre-
tary of the A.B.C.F.M., who comes as the guest of the C.C.F.
M.S. Dr. Patten will be present at the meetings of the Union,
and will be one of the speakers on Friday evening.
The Union will have the pleasure of hearing the Rev. W.
H. G. Temple, D.D., of Cleveland, Ohio, who speaks at the
meeting of the Home Missionary Society on Thursday evening.
The two matters that have engaged the attention of the
Union during the year, viz., ''The Jubilee Fund" and "Church
Union,' will be reported on by the respective committees.
Your Committee has been advised that it will be necessary
to provide a fund for payment of expenses if the work of the
Committee on Church Union is to be done. An appeal has
already been made to the churches in this behalf. We recom-
mend that the Finance Committee be instructed to reserve a
portion of the money in hand for this purpose, and to submit
plans for providing an adequate fund for the work of this
Committee.
We felt that the work of the Jubilee Fund had so far pro-
gressed that the Union, at this meeting, should prayerfully con-
sider the next steps in the life and work of our churches. We
have accordingly allotted two services to this forward work.
We call attention to the need of a revision of the roll, and
recommend that the Membership Committee be instructed to
examine the roll and report.
Other matters of business have been arranged for, and will
come up in the course of the meetings. We pray that in the
busy days before us the blessing of God may be upon us, and

Mr. Charles Cushing, as Convener of Committee, reported

churches may become incorporated without expense : —
ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 134.
An Act for the Relief of Certain Religious Bodies.
Whereas there are numerous Protestant congregations within
the Province of Quebec which own property, but do not possess
charters of incorporation, and it is expedient to provide an easy
and iiiexpensive method of incorporating the same ;
Therefore, His Majesty, with the advice and consent of the
Legislative Council and of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec,
enacts as follows :
1. "Whenever any Protestant individual church has been
formed and has obtained power to keep registers of civil status,
but has not become incorporated in any other manner than
hereinafter provided, and is not prevented from doing so by the
constitution of the religious denomination to which it belongs,
or when the property of the said church is not owned, possessed
and controlled by some authority superior to the said church
within the body to which it belongs, and when no other provision
exists under special statute, whereby the said church may acquire
the powers of a corporate body without a special Act to that
effect, such incorporation may be obtained upon petition pre-
sented to the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council, who is hereby
authorized to grant the same at his discretion.
36 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK

said church belongs;
(e) The place where its principal meetings are held;
(f) A description of any real estate already belonging to it.

the church in support of the allegations of the petition, declar-
ing that the conditions of the present law are applicable ;

ing, and mention of the manner of notification to members.

ed during one month in the Quebec Official Gazette, and four

5. After presentation of the petition, the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor may, if satisfied of the correctness of the allegations
thereof, grant the same, and the said congregation shall there-

eges and powers of ecclesiastical corporations under the laws

necessary to adopt any such motion, measure or contract, and
the authorization of the church shall be obtained, as hereinabove
provided.
9. The church shall elect from its members a treasurer of
the church, who shall receive and pay out all moneys, under the
direction of the trustees, and render a true and correct account

2. That Rev. J. L. Alexander, B.D., preach on Saturday
morning, in the absence of Rev. W. R. Harvey. Adopted.
The' Membership Committee recommended: —
1. That the Revs. Eugene W. Lyman, Professor of Syste-
matic Theology and the Philosophy of Religion in the Congre-
gational College of Canada; Herman A. Carson, B.A., Victoria,

includes a nimiber who have either left the country or are en-
gaged in secular pursuits. The latter, according to Article 11.
of the Constitution, which limits ministerial membership to such
as are either in the pastoral office or are engaged in evangelistic
or educational service, would seem to be ipso facto excluded
from membership. Under this head are the Revs. J. R. Black,
James McAdie, C. Routliffe and ,Dr. A. W. Richardson.
The following brethren have either gone to the Maritime
Provinces, the United States, or elsewhere, and are no longer

win Rose, A. F. McGregor, W. M. Baker, Wm. Collins, Thomas

kin, W. P. Jackson, J. McKinnon, C. Moore, and H. W.
Stillman.
We recommend, therefore, that the Secretary be instruct-
UNION OF ONTARIO AND QUEBEC 43
■ed to correspond with the brethren named, with a view to their
transference to some other association or otherwise, and report
to the Union. Carried.

Rev. Hugh Pedley, B.A., Chairman of the Jubilee Fund
Committee, presented the Committee's report, as follows: —
REPORT OF JUBILEE COMMITTEE.
Your Committee beg to report as follows : —
That the work has gone on steadily during the past year. It
was deemed wise by your Executive Committee that during the
autumn months special efforts of a personal character should
be made amongst the churches, especially those in the Mari-
time Provinces and in the far "West, sections of the country that
had not hitherto been visited. To carry out this plan, Mr.
Gunn's services were secured for another term of three months,
during which he visited the Provinces of N.S. and N.B. and
was able to report at the close of his visit that the extinction
•of the debts of the churches there was practically guaranteed.
Your Executive Committee further agreed to furnish the means
for supplying the pulpit of Rev. J. K. Unsworth, in order to
set him free for a visitation of the churches in Manitoba and
British Columbia. During a tour of seven weeks he visited all
the western churches and secured their very hearty co-opera-
tion in the Jubilee Movement. Most of these churches are look-
ing forward to the early extinction of their debts. The thanks
44 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
of your Committee are due to these two gentlemen for the ex-
cellent work done, and also to these churches for their willing-
ness to sacrifice their own immediate interest for the sake of
the wider work.
As a result of the efforts put forth, we were able to report
the state of the Fund at the end of 1904 as follows, under the
two heads, Local Debts and Central Fund: —
LOCAL DEBTS
Forty-four churches subscribed $125,791 25
Paid 67,835 20
CENTRAL FUND
Subscribed by churches $ll,795 83 Paid .....$5,568 32
" Individuals 25,233 25 Paid 5,233 25
English contribution 4,861 1 1
$15,662 68
Amongst the individual contributions included in the above
statement, the items of chief importance are Mr. G. B. Bur-
land's gift of $5,000 (in addition to the $5,000 he had contri-
buted to his own church), and Mr. Miner's subscription of
$20,000, of which $10,000 has been paid. The first of these
gifts, coming at the inception of the enterprise, and the second
at a critical hour in its history, take place with the English gifts
in the immense contribution they have made to the success so
far achieved.
From this Fund two disbursements were made — one in
September, 1904, at which 60 per cent, of the claims was paid,
and the other in March, 1905, when it was found that on re-
ceipt of the second installment from England it would be pos-
sible to meet all claims in full. The actual accomplishment of
this has not been carried out owing to delay in the arrival of
the second payment from England, the delay being due to the
illness and death of the Rev. James A. Mitchell, Secretary of
UNION OF ONTARIO AND QUEBEC 45
the Union of England and Wales, concerning which sad event
a resolution will be presently submitted. The money is now in
the hands of the Treasurer, and subject to the order of the
Executive Committee.
The receipts since the beginning of the year are approxi-
mately as follows, under the same two heads of Local Debts
and Central Fund: —
LOCAL DEBTS
Additional Subscriptions $ 2,517
Additional Payments I4,I79
The total then under this head will be :
Subscriptions $128,308 25
Payments 82,014 00
CENTRAL FUND
Additional Payments — Churches $ 1,742 00
" " Mr. Miner .. 10,000 00
England 4,866 66
Total ., $16,608 66
The grand total will therefore be : —
Subscriptions, including English grant $i85,337 33
Payments, on account of debts ^ $114,285 34
The expenses so far have reached a total of $2,990.87, the
main items of which are for salaries, travelling expenses, and
printing. In view of the magnitude of the undertaking, this
will be considered, from a business point of view, a very mod-
erate amount.
This is the condition of the undertaking at the present time,
and that we should have arrived at this point is a matter for
sincere gratitude, and a reason for great hope. But much re-
mains to be done. There are several problems that have to be
dealt with, and the work as a whole will require unremitting
attention from now to the end of the year.
There are now certain recommendations that your Com-
46 CONGREGATIONAL, YEAR BOOK
mittee would submit for your approval.
1. That the form of lien prepared by INIr. Lyman Lee, of
Hamilton, a member of the Committee, and revised by the
Committee as a whole, be adopted ; it being understood that this
lien does not affect those portions of the Central Fund specially
reserved therefrom at the wish of the donors.
2. That all agreements with churches in connection with
the disposal of the Central Fund terminate Dec. 31, 1905.
3. That the indebtedness of churches, giving them a claim
upon the Central Fund, be understood as including the amount
of mortgage and other eciuivalent indebtedness at Jan. 1, 1903,
not taking account of any deficit in current expenses for the
preceding year.
4. That as our experience so far has made it evident that
humanly speaking, the success of the enterprise has resulted
from the entire devotion to it of some one man, this policy be
continued during the rest of the campaign. We would further
recommend that the Eev. J. W. Pedley, B.A., of the Western
Congregational Church, Toronto, be requested to take up the
work of special correspondence and personal visitation so effi-
ciently carried on by Messrs. Gunn and Unsworth.
5. That the following be the Committee foi* the coming
year :—

Ayer's Flat, Franklin Centre, Hamilton (Immanuel), Lon-
don (Southern), Renw^ick, Tilbury, Toronto (Parkdale), and
Woodstock, have not yet reported, but we hope to hear from
some of them before the tables are printed.
There have been a number of changes in the pastorate dur-
ing the year. Revs. Edwin Rose, W. S. Pritchard, H. W. Still-
man, F. J. Day, H. Barnett, D. N. Morden, J. W. Hurd, J. L.
Gordon, W. M. Baker, and Charles Duff are names that do not
now appear.
Revs. J. B. Silcox, J. Lambert Alexander, B. B. Williams, W.
Hipkin, of Bowmanville, and John W. Pate, of Middleville, are
among the additions to our workers.
58 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK
Revs. C. S. Pedley, G. E. Read, W. R. Harvey, M. Kelly, C.
C. Claris, G. A. Mackenzie, A. B. Imrie, E. D. Silcox, and J. P.
Gerrie, have made changes in their pastoral charges.
Forest and Plympton, Tilbury and Renwick, Listowel and
Howick, Kincardine, and Woodstock, are without pastor or sup-
ply. Kincardine has been vacant for a year and a half. The
Sunday School and C. E. Society are active and the Church re-
ports additions during the year.
The number of our members has not been altered to any
great extent. 451 of those reported last year have been remov-
ed. Many of them by revision of the rolls. There have been
557 added, most of them on profession of Faith. While this
shows a net gain of 106, there is, no doubt, that the real force of
the church has gained more than that number.
Only 50 of the churches have had additions to membership.
Among these we note that on profession of faith there have
been received, viz: Toronto (Bond St.), 54; Toronto (Western),
35; Toronto (Broadview), 24; Coldsprings, 17 ; Kingston (Cal-
vary), 15; Pt. St. Charles, 14; Georgetown, 13; Melbourne, 13.
Hamilton (First), 11; Ottawa (Welcome-Zion), 10; Paris, 10;
Montreal (Zion), 10. Toronto (Zion) reports 41, but does not
give details.
On the other hand 61 ehurchts report removals from the
membership.
37 churches report a larger membership, 22 a smaller mem-
bership, than last year.
One feels the need of an increase campaign as among the
next steps of our life and work.
The Sunday Schools continue to be an encouraging feature
of our work. Nearly evpry church has one and some have more
than one in connection with the work. They are well provided
with teachers and officers. Only 30 of the churches have socie-
ties for their young people other than the Sunday schools. The
UNION OF ONTARIO AND QUEBEC ^g
interest in this part of church work has fallen greatly from
what it was a few years ago.
The financial condition of the churches has been decidedly
improved. 24 churches report decrease in debt; 2 churches re-
port slight increase ; 12 churches report increase in value of
property ; and 5 churches decrease irj. value. 39 churches have
each raised more money than last year, the increase being $49,-
169. 27 churches each raised less than last year, the decrease
being $7,656. A net increase over last year of $41,513.
It is quite probable that if the reports all came up to date
this increase would be much larger. This increase was not all
for local purposes. The contributions for missions was larger
than last year. We call attention to the amounts given for
each of the three purposes — Home, $1,927, Foreign,- $2,366, and
Woman's Board, $2,827. This means nearly twice as much for
Foreign Missions as for Home.
This may be of interest to those who will have part in the
discussion of the next steps in the life and work of the churches.

The Fifty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Congregational
Union of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick met with the Con-
gregational Church at Pleasant River, N.S., on Thursday morn-
ing/ July 6th, at 9 a.m.
Instead of the usual prayer and praise service there was a
sermon by Rev. J. W. Cox, from John 15:13, "Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that you
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should
remain." The sermon was a very helpful one, and gave a rich
spiritual tone to the meetings that followed. There were espe-
cially emphasized by the sermon the following points : — Our
call to work ; pur perfect equipment for work — all power, all
goodness, all truth — God; our responsibility, and our assurance
of permanent success.
At 10.30 the Chairman, Rev. A. W. Main, called the meet-
ing to order.
Rev. Silas W. Anthony was appointed Minute Secretary.
The usual Committees were appointed, as follows : —
Nominating Committee — Revs. G. W. Ball, G. M. "Whyte;
and Mr. Geo. Anthony.
Business Committee — Revs. Ball, Moore, Rose ; and Messrs.
J. W. Flewelling and A. Anthony.

Finance Committee — Messrs. C. E. MacMichael, Jas. W.
Jewett, and Geo. Anthony.
Public Service Committee— Rev. I. A. Rose, and Deacon

66 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
The Secretary, Rev. J. W. Cox, read his annual report,
which had many encouraging features, one of which was the
settlement of four young men as pastors over our churches, and
there being now but two vacant fields in our Union.
The address of welcome was then given by Rev. I. Adams
Rose, pastor of Pleasant River and Hanford Churches, and re-
sponded to by Rev. Geo. M. AVhyte, of Sheffield, N.B.
New Memhers — Rev. W. S. Pritchard, B.D., was received
by letter from the Congregational Union of Ontario and Que-
bec ; Rev. I. Adams Rose, from the C. C. C.
Corresponding Meynhers — Revs. Wm. Collins, of Brook-
lyn, N.S. ; Samuel J. Wilson, of Margaree, C.B. ; Silas W. An-
thony, of Milton, N.S. ; Joseph K. Unsworth, B.D., of Hamil-
ton, Ont. Chairman of Congregational Union of Ontario and
Quebec, W. T. Gunn, M.A., of Embro, Ont.
Members Dismissed — Rev. E. E. Braithwaite was dismissed
to the Norfolk South Association, of Massachusetts; Rev. J. M.
Austin, having requested that his name be dropped from the
roll, as he had become a minister of the Presbyterian Church
of Canada, his request was granted on recommendation of the
Membership Committee, who also recommended that a letter
be written to Rev. Mr. Austin, wishing him godspeed in his new
relations, at the same time expressing our surprise and regret
that though there was not time evidently for him to obtain
a proper transfer, yet as a good Congregationalist, we think
he should have frankly acquainted the officers of the Union
with his purposes, giving full explanations and reasons.
Also that a letter of brotherly, yet of firm protest, be writ-
ten to the Presbyterian General Assembly of Canada against
their act of receiving a member of the Congregational Union
of N.S. and N.B., without any recognition whatever of that
body, inasmuch as no letter of membership or of ministerial
UNION OF N. S. AND N. B. 5pr
standing had been asked for from the Union.
Reports from the churches were then read by the dele-
gates, and were for the most part encouraging.
At 11.25 Rev. Churchill Moore, of Keswick Ridge, N.B., ad-
dressed the Union on ' ' Church Self-support and How to Attain
it." A lively discussion followed.
Thursday, 2.30 p.m.
After a short devotional service, the Statistical Secretary,
Mr. J. W. Flewelling, of St. John, N.B., read his annual report.
The report was carefully prepared, and brought out many in-
teresting facts concerning our churches in a thought provoking
fashion. The Treasurer, Mr. Chas. E. MacMichael, also gave
his report, which was adopted. a
On recommendation of the Business Committee, the officers
for the ensuing year were elected as follows : —

Rev. I. Adams Rose.
At 4 p.m. there was brought forward as a subject for dis-
cussion, "A Revival of Religion; Its Necessity, and How to
Obtain it." Rev. Mr. Purdon introduced the subject in a brief
but fervent address, which elicited much interest, but on ac-
count of the narrow time limit justice could not be done to
this most important subject.
Thursday Evening.
Rev. S. J. Wilson led the devotional service. There was
a full house.
Rev. Mr. Main gave his retiring Chairman's address, the
subject being, ' ' The Bible in the Home ; Its Influence on the
Church and State."
Dr. Creehnan, of the C. C. C, then addressed the Union on
"The Training of the Ministry." His address was scholarly
and interesting, and made a fine impression upon the large
audience.
A very interesting feature of this meeting was the welcome
accorded Dr. Creelman, the honored representative of our Col-
lege, by the members of our Union. "Dr. Crefelman," said the
Chairman, in introducing him, "is not a stranger or foreigner,
but one of ourselves, a child of Lower Selmah Church, of which
church his parents were charter members, and his sainted
father once the beloved secretary and deacon; and he is also
a member of our Union, his name having been placed on our
roll in 1901, where, we trust, it will remain for many years to
come. ' '
UNION OF N. S. AND N. B. 6g,
Friday Mosning.
Friday was the Field Day of the "Woman's Board.
At 9 a.m. a prayer meeting of deep spiritual interest was
led by Mrs. Dearborn, of St. John. Many of the sisters par-
ticipated. The brethren also joined heartily in the devotions,
and all felt the hour too short to utter their heart's sincere
praise.
At 10 a.m. and at 3 p.m. the Union Committee convened
on Deacon Fancy 's shady lawn, and was ably assisted by the
visiting brethren in the important deliberation of the sessions.
Friday Evening.
The President of the "Woman's Board, Mrs. Churchill
Moore, presided.
The meeting was intensely interesting, and the missionary
enthusiasm of the crowded audience rose to great heights duir-
ing the address of Rev. J. K. Unsworth, who spoke on "The
Heroism of Missions."
Saturday.
At 9 a.m. a splendid prayer meeting was held, led by Mr.
Jas. W. Jewett.
At 10 a.m. business was resumed. The following recommen-
dations of the Union Committee were adopted: —
1. That a Committee be appointed to co-operate with the
Committee of the Congregational Union of Ontario and Que-
bec, re the organization of a General Congregational Union of
Canada. And that the said Committee be composed of Revs.
C. S. Moore, Whyte, Pritchard, and Mr. C. E. MacMichael.
2. That Rev. Mr, Moore be the delegation to visit Economy,
and if possible. Rev. Mr. Unsworth to accompany him, to as-
certain the true condition of the church, and to extend to it the
sympathy of the Union.
70 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
3. That the matter of the Maitland Church property be left
in the hands of the old Committee — Rev. A. W. Main, and
Messrs. James Dimock and A. M. Anthony.
4. That the Union earnestly recommends that all our
churches be urged to have all their properties adequately in-
sured.
5. That a Committee be appointed to present a memorial
to the churches, embodying the thought of this conference on
the matter of the Forward Movement, and that the said Com-
mittee be composed of Revs. Pritchard, Moore, Purdon, Uns-
worth, and Dr. Creelman.
Rev. Mr. Pritchard submitted the following: —
6. Whereas our efforts on behalf of the Jubilee Fund have
been so signally blessed of God, resulting in the lifting of the
debts from most of our churches, leaving them ' ' free to serve ' ' ;
whereas, we feel the time has come for a definite Forward
Movement of our denomination in Canada. Resolved, (1) that
each church hold a conference of its own members to consider
ways and means by which they may best forward the work of
Christ's Kingdom in their own locality; (2) that we urge upon
our C. C. M. S. to put into effect at its earliest possible moment
some definite plan for the furthering of • our denominational
plan in Canada; (3) that a copy of these resolutions be for-
warded to the Secretary of the C. C. M. S.
7. Whereas we have heard of the heroic and successful
efforts of the Congregational Church at Margaree, C.B., in the
erection of a new church, and have been asked to send a dele-
gate to represent this Union in the dedication of their church;
Resolved, that we extend our hearty greeting and congratula-
tions to the church in Margaree, and that Rev. J. W. Cox, B.A.,
be our representative at the services of dedication.
At 10 30 we were all inspired and greatly encouraged by the
UNION OF N. S. AND N. B. 7I
addresses of Rev. J. K. Unsworth, B.D., Chairman of the Con-
gregational Union of Ontario and Quebec; Rev. W. T. Gunn,
M.A., Travelling Secretary of the Jubilee Fund, and Rev. Dr.
Creelman, of the C. C. C.
This meeting will live long in the memory of the members
of the Union. It was an hour of supreme joy to many as they
listened to the glowing account of God's visitation of His people
in their bondage ; how He has delivered them and will yet de-
liver, and how He bids them now "Go Forward" and possess
their inheritance.
A practical paper was then read by Rev. Wm. Collins, of
Brooklyn, N.S., on "Our Young Men in the Church and Sun-
day School ; How to Retain Them There and Use Them for
God.'-'
REV. SIMEON SYKES.
A letter was read by the" Secretary from Rev. Simeon Sykes,
sending his greetings to the Union, and regretting his absence
from the Union in Pleasant River, his old field of labor, where
he was ordai[ned more than forty years ago. Mr. Sykes Jias
lately passed his 77th birthday.
By motion it was resolved that the Secretary be instructed
to write a letter of congratulation to Mr. Sykes on the occasion
of his 77th jDirthday, and expressing to him and Mrs. Sykes
the kind wishes of the Union.
Rev. A. W. Main reported briefly for the Committee on
Church Union, he having been present at the meeting of the
Joint Committee, held in Toronto December 23, 1904.
By motion it was resolved that the Committee of last year
on Church Union be re-appointed. And that the name of Rev.
W. S. Pritchard be substituted for that of Rev. J. M. Austin.
And also that the sum of $25 be devoted toward defraying the
travelling expenses of the said Committee.
Saturday afternoon was given up to recreation.
72 congregational year book.
Saturday Evening, 7.45
A bright praise service v^^as led by Mr. J. W. Flewelling.
Rev. S. W. Anthony spoke on ' ' The College ; Its Relation to
the Churches." His address was carefully prepared, and was
well received by the audience.
Rev. W. S. Pritchard, B.D., then gave an address on "Our
Place and Work in the Nation as Congregationalists. " It was
a strong address, and exceedingly appropriate for "such a time
as this."
Rev. W. T. Gunn, M.A., followed in a happy way, capti-
vating his hearers and lifting their thoughts with his into the
Love of God and the joy of doing His will.
THE COLLEGE RESOLUTION.
On recommendation of the Business Committee, it was
resolved, that we, the members of the Congregational Union of
N.S. and N.B., do hereby express our appreciation of Rev.
Harlan Creelman, Ph.D., as representative of the C. C. C, and
we are assured that his earnest and eloquent addresses, as well
as his genial presence with us, will be the means of giving us
fresh zeal and interest on behalf of the College ; and that we are
fully determined to go back to our various churches to strive
as never before to bring the interests of our College before our
people, so that, if possible, more men and money may be forth-
coming for its classes and material support; and to make spe-
cial prayer that the right man may be obtained without delay
to fill the Chair of Systematic Theology made vacant by the
much regretted resignation of Professor Lyman.
REV. A. W. MAIN.
On recommendation of the Business Committee, it was re-
solved, That whereas we have learned with regret that our Chair-
man, Rev. A. W. Main, has accepted a call to the Point St.
UNION OF N. S. AND N. B. 73
Charles Congregational Church, Montreal, and expects to leave
his present field in Lower Selmah early in August ; • and that
this Union has been greatly benefited by his presence, and by
the wise and impartial way that he has filled the office of Chair-
man, thereby enabling us to do the work of our Union smoothly
and well. We therefore desire to express the sincere thanks of
the Union to our brother, and wish him godspeed in the work
to which we believe he has been divinely called.
PROGRAMME COMMITTEE.
A Programme Committee was appointed, consisting of Rev.
J. W. Cox and Rev. S. W. Anthony.
The Chairman of the Union, carrying out the recommen-
dation of the Business Committee in appropriate language, ex-
pressed the thanks of the Union to the people of Pleasant River
for their generous hospitality.
By motion it was resolved that at the .close of the Sunday
evening service the Union stand adjourned to meet in Milton,
Queen's County, on Wednesday after the first Sunday of
July, 1906.
Sunday, July, 9th.
At 10.30 public worship was held. A very large audience
assembled. Rev. Geo. M. Whyte, of Sheffield, N.B., was the
Union preacher. The text was from John 4:10, "Jesus an-
swered and said unto her : If thou knewest the gift of God and
who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was observed, the pas-
tor. Rev. I. A. Rose, presiding, assisted by Revs. Purdon, Uns-
worth, and Gunn.
At 3 p.m. the Sunday school mass meeting was held. Stir-
ring addresses were made by Revs. Pritchard, Gunn and
74 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK
Anthony.
At 7.30 there was an overflowing house. The preacher was
Rev. J. K. Unsworth, B.D., of Hamilton. The text was, Psalm
139: 18, "When I am awake I am still with thee." The sermon
was powerful and wonderfully inspiring.
Thus closed the meetings of the Union. The best of all in
its history, in attendance, in enthusiasm, and spiritual help-
fulness.

NOTICE..
It is bcoming more than ever a practice among Christian
people to recognize the Lord's portion in their Last Wills and
Testaments, whereby, though they be dead, they speak and act
in the furtherance of Missionary, Educational and Benevolent
objects. American Congregationalists are among the most wise
and generous in this day, and have left legacies of blessings for
succeeding generations. Among the members of our Congrega-
tional churches in Canada, there have also been those who have
followed a likewise generous course.
For the guidance of those who may desire to make like be-
quests, the following legal form is subjoined. The amount be-
queathed may be devoted specially to the Church Extension and
Building Fund, in which case the income would only be used, or
may be given for the general purposes of the Society.

FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT C. C. M. S.
The second year of our jubilee effort has been a strenuous
one, demanding to the utmost our energies and monopolizing
our thoughts and plans. It is therefore cause for gratitude to
our Heavenly Father that your Committee can present as
encouraging a report as this fifty-second report is. There ar«
times when great financial and numerical expansion may not be
evidence of great effort or self-denial, and there are years when
to hold our own is proof of heroic service. With all the press-
ure of extra burdens, we have done a great deal more than hold
our own in our Home Missionary operations. And what that
has meant in the past year to some of our churches will only be
fully known at the last day. I wish it were possible to take
this audience' into every field where your money is sent, and let
you see what is being done, or even that it were possible for me
to give yo a picture of each church within the limits of this re-'
port. I might not thrill you with a recital of deeds of daring,
nor enthuse you with the returns of great numerical success,
but I am confident that you would be interested and encouraged
as never before, and that interest would reveal itself in enlarged
gifts and more earnest prayer for the success of the work.
Maritime Peovinces — A Brief Glance.
In the Maritime Provinces we have fifteen churches to some
extent dependent on help from this Society, and all are served
by our own pastors. The tone of the churches is more hopeful
than a year ago, from the fact that all but one are supplied with
pastors. The important church in Yarmouth, one of our best,
a good friend of our Society, has" been vacant since last Decem-
ber. It is the leading church of our Order in Nova Scotia, and
86 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
offers a good opening for. an energetic man who wishes a self-
supporting charge. Margaree, C.B., was supplied till the
autumn by our honored brother, Rev. Robert Hay, who did
much to hearten the people, who had been nearly two years
pastorless. Mr. Hay could not spend another winter so far
from his family home, and on his removal we were fortunate in
securing Rev. S. J. Wilson, from Belfast, Ireland. Mr. Wilson
is young and energetic, and is infusing some of his vigor into
the people, who are in the rush of building a church and Sun-
day School Hall, and hope to have both ready for use by the
coming autumn, and both free from debt. It is one of the
regions where race suicide has not yet made its appearance, so
there is little fear of the church dying out. We are sorry to
report that we have been as yet unable to enter the city of
Sydney, because of the scarcity of money and suitable men.
Truro has had a year of trial. Rev. J. W. Cox was for more
than half the year laid aside by severe illness, yet is now back
at work with much of his wonted vigor, and evidence of the
Divine blessing is not wanting. Eight have been received into
membership on profession of faith.
Pleasant River is happy in the settlement of Mr. I. A. Rose,
one of this year 's graduates from our college. Your Secretary
had the honor of preaching the sermons at the dedication of a
very beautiful church last July. Think of it! a people in a
country district without a pastor for two years, keeping to-
gether and erecting a house of worship, and having it dedi-
cated free of debt, fully furnished, even to a bell, whose sweet
tones invite to worship the neighborhood for miles around.
This they did with the very little, aid your Society was able to
afford. The mining industry is growing, and we are confi-
dent that under the energetic ministry of our young brother the
church will soon be able to pay its own way.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY 87
Liverpool — Rev. G. "W. Ball is still the honored pastor of
Liverpool, where, for eleven years, he has ministered with ac-
ceptance, steadily growing in public esteem. The last year has
been a trying one to both pastor and church. Returning from
the Union meetings in New Brunswick last July, Mr. Bell met
with an accident from a runaway team that came near ending
his life. Those of us who were on the spot thought his days of
work were over. He has, however, recovered, but only after-
months of suffering. Then the past winter being phenomen-
ally severe, the peculiar industry of the town — ship repairing —
was much interfered with, and so the income decreased. But
the brethren are hopeful and rally around their pastor. A small
grant will be necessary for another year. Mr. S. W. Anthony
has settled in Milton, and Rev. "W. Collings is doing good work
in Brooklin and Beach Meadows.
Ghebogue, the third oldest church of our Order in Ganada,
goes from our list as an aided church, but not from close and
sympathetic touch with the Society. The population had so
scattered, at least that part of it on which we could depend for
support, that it seemed to many of your Gommittee to be our
duty to witlidraw from the field. But there were still faithful
souls who labored and gave to keep alive the old church, not only
for what it had done, but for the sake of needy souls who came
in, and to whom no other church in the district was so well
fitted to minister. Your Gommittee continued the small grant,
and now have the joy of seeing the church become the legatee
of $20,000 from one, who while not a member, gave this goodly
sum because it was his mother's church. We are confident that
the friends there will not settle down to the selfish enjoyment
of their good fortune, but will continue their oldtime effort, and
use the money to extend the Master's Kingdom.
The extended field on the Gobiquid Bay, on which Rev. A.
88 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
W. Main has spent four years, continues to grow in strength
and interest.
KiNGSPORT is still under the care of Rev. D. W. Purdon, and
has with great courage and perseverance built a parsonage, much
to the comfort and encouragement of the pastor.
Of the nineteen churches, with eight out-stations in the
Province of Quebec, but three are in receipt of missionary aid,
while every church contributes, and most of them largely, to
our missionary work. And of these three, two are provided for
specially by legacy, so that only one church draws from our
funds. Old Quebec shows up well in comparison.
The receipts from Quebec are, from subscriptions and in-
vested funds, over a dollar per member, while those from On-
tario are under twenty cents. Your Secretary notes these things
as a pastor of an Ontario church.
Ayres Cliff has had a change of name as well as a change
of pastor. After the departure of Mr. Eose, Student Hindley
supplied during the summer with much acceptance, which is
uniformly the case with our students. I wish we had more of
them. Rev. C. S. Pedley has supplied the church since January,
and having received a call to the pastorate, has settled in what
we hope will be a long and successful pastorate.
Rev. George Skinner is still at Fitch Bay.
Rev. W. R. Harvey has resigned from Point St. Charles
to accept a call to Rock Island. This church is sadly handi-
capped by the want of a proper building. It is next to im-
possible to build up a city church without a suitable plant.
Franklin Centre is supplied by Student Tippett, as is
Amherst Park, Montreal, by a student.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY 89
The scarcity of men has left some of our Ontario churclics
pastorless, yet we have been able to make some settlements, a:i<i
these have been prosperous.
In Ottawa, Zion, Rev. H. I. Horsey has served for ten years
including student supply, and holds a large place in the hearts
of his people. Severe illness has interfered with his work dar-
ing the past winter, yet the church has gone on. A much-
needed addition to the building has been secured by the gener-
ous gift of Mr. J. B. Burland of $1,000, and $500 from the
church extension branch of your Society, to which is added the
splendid effort of the people to help themselves. The church is
now in a position to go forward. They will soon reduce the
amount of grant asked for from your treasury.
Kingston. — Calvary has had a year of progress. Fifteen
have been added to the church, but the helpful influence of both
church and pastor is wider than figures can convey to us. Rev.
Geo. A. Lowes, the pastor, has been in much demand for evange-
listic work and has been so successful in the work that he is con-
vinced that his duty lies in giving his whole time to it, to the
giving up of his pastorate. This will be for the consideration of
your new Committee, and a man is needed for Calvary.
CoBOURG AND CoLD SPRINGS. — This field has been under the
pastoral care of Rev. A. Margett for a year and a half. Cobourg
church was re-opened and has grown steadily since.- It needs
the care of the present pastor and the help of the Society for
some time yet. They are paying off all their debt and making
some necessary repairs, which together amount to $1,250. This
is good work. Granted a continuance of the present arrange-
ment and the future of the church is assured. Cold Springs
church decided last fall to continue the union with Cobourg,
and is building new sheds, and bought an organ, thus incurring
an outlay of $600. Student Anthony gave good help last sum-
90 CONGREGATIONAL TEAR BOOK
mer, and Mr. Pierce takes the work this summer. With Cobourg
it is a heavy charge for one man.
BowMANviLLE. — Rev. W. Hipkin has been in charge since
December last, and arrangements are being made for his instal-
lation. The faithful band is full of hope and courage. Mr.
Hipkin 's ministrations are of a high order, and the church is
once more getting a grip on the community. A grant will be
needed here for a few years to come.
Toronto, Zion, had a grant the past year and may need a
continuance of even a larger one the ensuing year. Old Zion
has been a good friend of our Society in the past, and we hope
she will soon regain her oldtime vigor and honorable position in
the Queen City.
Alton. — Rev. A. R. Schrag has served the church for a
year, having settled as soon as he was graduated, and a good
year's work has been done. A parsonage is on the way, which
will be ready for occupation ere winter sets in, and is already
provided for, so no shadow of debt will dim its parlors.
Barrie has been dependent on such supplies as could be ob-
tained since losing their pastor. Rev. C. S. Pedley, in January.
Student Hindley is now in charge for the summer.
Stratford has had a change of pastor. Rev. J. P. Gerrie has
returned to his old charge. Rev. G. A. McKenzie having sup-
plied Forest for a few months goes to Bethel, Kingston. Mr.
Gerrie is at home in Stratford, and is in the way of steady pro-
gress. The fluctuations in business in the town have been try-
ing, and, as might be expected, interfere with the income of the
church. These will soon pass away.
Passing on to Manitoba and the Northwest: Brandon grows
steadily each year and reduces the grant under the leadership
of Rev. T. A. Munro. As it is difficult to get a house for the
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY QI
minister, so the friends are making an effort to build one. This
will greatly add to the strength of the cause. Mr. Munro is our
superintendent for the Northwest and British Columbia, and has
rendered valuable service to the Society.
The Welsh settlement at Saltcoats, Assa., is still under the
pastoral care of Eev. W. T. Morris. Two buildings are needed,
and steps are to be taken soon to obtain them.
The interesting Scandinavian field of Wetaskiwin is grow-
ing. A second man has been secured, and the work will now be
more vigorously pushed. Eev. G. A. Sanden will continue to
have charge of the whole field, and the young man will work un-
der his direction.
We ought to begin in Edmonton. The town is growing fast,
and unlike the mining towns, there is no question as to its per-
manency. The same is true of Calgary and several other cen-
tres.
Nelson. — The changes in mining interests have militated
against the growth of the town. Indeed, it has gone back, and
so our cause there has suffered. It has ever been a. difficult field,
and the difficulty of getting men fully fitted for the work has
been great. Rev. E. H. Holman has retired from the work, and
now has left the country. Your Committee decided to sell the
property and close up the work; but as the Colonial Society
has aided us so liberally in the outlay, we wrote to the Secre-
tary, sending a copy of our Superintendent's report before tak-
ing action. As yet we have no reply; the Secretary is doubt-
less consulting the Committee.
As both churches in Vancouver are self-supporting, they do
not report to us; but both are doing good work.
Victoria.— On the resignation of Rev. R. B. Blyth, Rev.
H. A. Carson went out a year ago. It has been a year of quiet
92 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
and steady progress. The people are taking hold of the debt
with a will, and when they are free, with their beautiful house
of worship and energetic young pastor, may look for a good
account of the Victoria church.
On the whole our Missionary Churches are doing splendid
work and have the upward look of hope and courage.
The thanks of the Society are due to the Colonial Mission-
ary Society for their continued and generous support, and now
crowning that support with the honor of such a representative
as Rev. John Brown, D.D., now with us. This is true imperial-
ism.
I cannot close this report without reference to the removal
from our midst of one who was our first Superintendent, and
for many years the efficient Secretary of this Society, and whose
deep interest in it never abated. His last thoughts were of our
churches, and out of his very moderate estate, left $100 to our
funds. We shall miss the kindly face of our brother, Rev. John
Wood. Others have gone from our ranks, of whom suitable men-
tion will be made, but his close connection with all our mis-
sionary operations calls for affectionate reference here.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
W. McIntosh,
Secretary.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY ' g^
EEPORT OF EDUCATIONAL SECRETART.
In presenting this report it is intended that it shall outline
the general features of the work of two years, as no formal re-
port was made at the last meeting of the corporation.
During the first year of office the work undertaken by your
Secretary embraced a weekly correspondence for "The Can-
adian Congregationalist/ ' the preparation and publication of
the pamphlet "Our Scandinavian Missions," the preparation
of the illustrated lecture on "A Century of Congregationalism
in the Province of Quebec," the issuing of a special circular to
all the ministers re the annual collection, and the despatching
of the usual supply of envelopes; and in addition to this con-
siderable correspondence in answer to inquiries concerning vari-
ous features of the general work.
During the second year much the same work has been re-
quired but on a somewhat larger scale.
The correspondence for our weekly organ has been more regu-
larly and systematically maintained, largely for the reason that
with the marked improvement in the paper it has offered one
of the most valuable means of communication with the various
churches. As far as possible all items of interest that have
reached the Secretary concerning the work in our mission fields
have been duly chronicled, but it has often been very hard work
to secure these. A series of illustrated articles has been pre-
pared, including sketches of the following churches: Franklin
Centre, Victoria, Ottawa (Welcome Zion), Melbourne, Wet-
askiwin, Liverpool, Keswick Ridge, Brandon, Kingston (Cal-
vary), and Margaree. Special articles concerning our Welsh
work have also appeared in the re-publication of a letter from
Rev. W. T. Morris that formerly appeared in the Winnipeg
94 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK
"Tribune," and also a history of the colony prepared by our
missionary.
The illustrated lecture on "A Century of Congregational-
ism in the Province of Quebec ' ' has been delivered by the Secre-
tary at Ulverton, Danville and Ayer's Cliff, and by Rev. R. G.
Watt at Melbourne. In the latter case the original purpose in
view in the preparation of the lecture was best served, i.e., that
is should be used in local centres by the pastors themselves.
The manuscript is written in full and the slides are all ready
for use.
In preparation for the annual collection a special circular
was prepared for distribution among the churches. Two other
circulars were also issued, one to the ministers and one to the
Superintendents and Secretaries of the Sunday Schools, the lat-
ter having special reference to an offering from the scholars for
the "Wetaskiwin work. Special envelopes for both the church
and Sunday School collections were prepared and distributed.
The work of special correspondence in reply to inquiries has
greatly increased during the past year. This has been extremely
significant of the place that must be filled by the Educational
and Information Department. Frequent inquiries have come
for information for use in missionary meetings and special ap-
peals. In a number of instances additional copies of "Our
Scandinavian Missions" have been asked for. Advice has been
sought concerning special work to be undertaken. All of which
goes to show that this department fills a long-felt want, and
that with its still further development it will serve a large pur-
pose in awakening interest and stimulating activity.
In response to a special appeal through "The Congregation-
alist" a Swedish pulpit Bible was kindly donated to our church
at Wetaskiwin by Mr. Wiekson, of Olivet Church, Toronto. If
he had waited a day or so longer he would have been too late
to have this honor, as the ladies of Calvary Church, Montreal,
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY 95
almost immediately afterwards intimated their wish to supply
the need. A request for an organ has yet to be answered.
Concerning the future of the Department it cannot be too
strongly urged that every effort be made to strengthen it and to
enlarge its usefulness. Every cent spent on it is money well
invested. The work ought to be in the hands of someone who
has a great deal of time to devote to it. If a Superintendent is
secured it should be fully under his supervision. Only through
thorough information will our churches be aroused to enthus-
iastic interest. And only as enthusiasm is widespread will our
policy become well defined and aggressive.
Frank J. Day,
Educational Secretary.
96 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK
TREASURER'S REPORT.
The financial statements herewith submitted show that the
General Mission Fund, which closed with a deficit last year of
$552, shows a surplus this year of $667.
The church subscriptions from Ontario and Quebec, as com-
pared with last year, give a net increase of $313, showing by
districts as follows:
Ontario Western, increase $ 39
Ontario Central, decrease $88
Ontario Eastern, increase 100
Quebec, increase 262
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are credited with a consid-
erable increase, but $275 of this increase belonged to the previ-
ous year, being the Women's Board subscriptions for 1904,
received too late' for entry in last year's statement.
In this connection it is greatly to be regretted that the two
largest churches of our Order in the Dominion are not repre-
sented in our list. This should surely be rectified.
Our receipts from legacies this year are considerably in ex-
cess of last year; principally from a legacy by the late Mr.
Thomas Shapley, of Torquay, England, who was, thirty years
ago, a member of Zion Church, Montreal, and left, under his
will, two hundred pounds to the Society, netting nearly $900.
In a letter to the Treasurer shortly before his death, he indi-
cated that his interest in the Society was attributable to his
loved pastor, the late Dr. Wilkes ; and that though he had left
Montreal more than thirty years, he still retained his interest in
the Society.
The late Rev. John Wood, first Missionary Superintendent,
CANADA CONGREGATIONAi. MISSIONARY SOCIETY g^
and later Secretary, left $100, to be given to the Society at his
death.
The hearty thanks of the Society are due to the Colonial
Missionary Society and to the Women's Board of Missions for
Hieir continued financial help; also to the Society's auditors for
tfeeir services.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles R. Black,

prayer.
Rev. P. C. L. Harris was appointed minute Secretary for
the meeting, and reports were presented as follows. Secretary's
report by Rev. D. S. Hamilton; Treasurer's report by Mr. H.
W. Barker, of Toronto. A short conference on "How do you
raise your missionary offerings?" followed the reading of Mr.

duced at this point. The report on Mission Study Classes was
presented by Mr. E. C. Austin, and the report on Prayer Union
Department by Miss F. B. Rawlings. On motion of Rev. J.
Salmon, seconded by Mr. H. Yeigh, the reports were all received

the work of the Missionaries on the field and confidence in their
methods of work.
A resolution moved by Rev. W. H. Watson, and seconded
by Rev. J. K. Unsworth, dealt with plans for more extensive
work, and was as follows : —
' ' Resolved, In view of the larger freedom, as a result of our
churches being relieved from the burdens of debt which have
acted as barriers hitherto, we desire to extend as early as possi-
ble the sphere of our operations, and to this end would suggest
the following to the consideration of the Executive, as also to
our churches, looking toward a forward movement to be taken
in the year 1906, so that, the one which shall appear wisest and
best after careful deliberation be adopted by us." The 3 sug-
gestions are as follows: —
I. A year of heartfelt thanksgiving expressed by our gifts for
all the blessings of the past, emphasising the last two years
of our church life.
II. A forward move in connection with the work in Africa.
III. The opening of a new field in affiliation with the L. M. S.
Rev. G. G. Warren led in prayer, after which the hymn ' ' Go
Labor On" was sung and the meeting adjourned, the President,
Rev. T. B. Hyde, pronouncing the benediction.

CANADA FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY II9
REPORT OF MISSION STUDY CLASS WORK IN CON-
NECTION "WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPT.
The work of this comparatively new branch of our Young
People's Department is progres-sing slowly but surely.
'Ihe efforts of the past year may perhaps best be described
as a campaign of education and information, and already there
are indications that these endeavors will bear fruit in the near
future in the shape of increased Missionary development of a
more intelligent missionary spirit and purpose among our young
people.
Four circular letters have been sent out ; two in the Fall of
last year and two in the Spring of the present year. In con-
nection with the first of these, a plan of mission study was out-
lined, introducing and recommending the use of our own first
text book, "The Story of Chisamba. " This book is arranged
with titled paragraphs and is especially adapted for the use of
mission study classes. In the two later letters, above mentioned,
an effort has been made to secure information in regard to the
Missionary work of our Young People's Societies, Sunday
Schools and Churches. Each letter contained a list of ques-
tions and the replies received from about thirty correspondents
in as many churches, indicate that good work is being done, es-
pecially along the line of missionary giving.
In the final letter special attention was drawn to the mat-
ter of missionary libraries and under separate cover lists of two
libraries (kindly supplied by the Young People's Missionary
Movement), with prices and all information attached, were sent
to each correspondent.
With the kind consent of the editor-in-chief a young peo-
ple's cohmin has been conducted in the missionary department
of the Congregationalist, and a series of sixteen articles have
appeared, dealing mainly with the subject of mission study, and
120 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
considering the matter from a variety of view points.
Correspondence has been received from Mr. H. W, Hicks,
leader of the Young People's Department of the American
Board, relative to co-operation with our own Young People's Mis-
sionary Department in the matter of the use of missionary lit-
erature, etc., published by the American Board.
Samples of the above literature have been received and a
small quantity dealing especially with mission study has been
ordered and sold. A package of forty pamphlets, entitled "The
Mission Study Class, How to Organize It" were sent free of
charge by Mr. Hicks, and subsequently distributed by your Sec-
retary amongst leaders of missionary work in our churches.
The sale of our text-book, ' ' The Story of Chisamba, ' ' which
has been placed in the hands of the leader of this department,
has progressed very well, considering the urgency of other
claims. Already more than half of the present edition has been
disposed of. Everything points to a largely increased demand
during the coming Fall and "Winter.
Africa will (D. V.) be the general subject of mission study
in all denominations next winter, and there will therefore be
special enquiry for books of Missionary enterprise in the ' ' Dark
Continent. ' '
Special efforts have been made to draw the attention of
our young people and others to the annual conference of the
iToung People's Missionary Movement to be held at Silver Bay,
Lake George, N.Y., July 21-30. It is earnestly hoped that our
Canadian Congregational delegation will be larger and more
representative than ever before, especially in view of the fact
that steps are being taken to conduct a similar inter-denomina-
tional missionary conference next year in Canada.
With regard to the tangible results of the foregoing work,
it is a pleasure to be able to report the organization of at least
three mission study classes, and to have received letters from
CANADA FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 121
several correspondents stating that they are preparing to organ-
ize classes in their respective churches next Fall. The follow-
ing statements from leaders of the above classes are encouraging
and stimulate to more earnest efforts in the future. One leader
reports: — "A good deal of interest in mission work has been
aroused, and through the interest and spiritual quickening
received one of the members of the class will very probably be-
come a foreign missionary. ' ' Another writes : — ' ' The meetings
have been of great interest and profit to us."
These three classes have a combined membership of 38 and
the Story of Chisamba has been used as the text-book in each
case.
Much interest in the work of this department is manifested
by Mr. Harlan P. Beach, Educational Secretary of the Student
Volunteer Movement, who writes as follows: — "It is a joy to
hear that your people are getting on well with the Story of
Chisamba, I like the book exceedingly. Tour interest in the
mission study classes of the Congregational Churches of Can-
ada, especially appeals to me. I do hope that our Congrega-
tional young people may be thoroughly aroused to take an ac-
tive part in the world's evangelization."
It is earnestly recommended in view of the wide doors of
service opening up to us as a denomination both at home and
abroad, that a student from our college, or some other qualified
person, should visit our churches as early as possible, in the in-
terests of Missions, and of our young people's work in general,
and thus follow up with advantage the interest already secured
through correspondence.
In conclusion special thanks are due to the following gen-
tlemen for valuable assistance rendered at various times: Dr.
F. C. Stephenson, of the Methodist Young People's Forward
Movement for Missions; Mr. H. W. Hicks, assistant secretary
of the A. B. C. F. M. ; Mr. C. V. Vickrey, secretary of the Young
122 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOR
People's Missionary Movement, New York, and especially to
Mr. H. W. Barker, to Avlicse efforts the origin of this work in
our own denomination is due and with whom the leader of this
department is glad to be associated.
The above is respectfully submitted.
E. C. Austin.
Secretary.
DEPARTMENT OF PRAYER UNION.
Every great crisis in the oNIissiouary field has been turned
in answer to prayer and we know that no man can tell what
hath been wrought by prayer.
We can then realize how a report of a Prayer Union must
in a measure be indefinite, for who can tell of the broadening
of the sympathies, or deepening of the faith and holy desires or
more exalted view of the glory of God which many of us owe to
our prayer union.. Our total membership is 256, our increase
for this year seventeen. Our growth has been slow but steady,
and there are indications of a greater increase in our member-
ship.
The churches represented in the Prayer Union are 31.
Your Secretary has spoken at a few meetings, written ap-
peals through the "Leaflet" and Congregationalist as well as
making personal solicitations for members.
We hope and look forward to the time when every church
member will be earnestly and expectantly praying for the com-
ing of the Kingdom of Christ.
When they are praying earnestly and persistently for the
work there will be a better response to the needs. For when
many hearts are moved to pray, they will be moved to give and
there will be no lack of men or means.
CANADA FORSIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY I23
Our pledge is : — Recognizing that I am called to fellowship
witJi Christ in making known His Gospel to all the world, I
promise to pray each day for the work of the AVest Central
African Mission that all who hear the Gospel there may be trnly
and speedily converted.
Cur pledge is confined to the wcrk of the Yfest Central
Afrijf.n work, which is trnly our only Canadian station.
Our churches have gone ahead of our Prayer Union and
have given sons and daughters to nearly all parts of the world.
\s'e have representatives in Japan, China, India, Ceylon, Tur-
key and South America, and from them comes the reciuest, Do
not forget to pray for us.
Shall we, or think you it is our privilege, to broaden out the
wcrk. A gk.nce over our treasurers', reports would indicate
some of our money, at least, is following our workers. Shall
we give our men and money and not our prayer.
I would suggest if some plan could be arranged that our
Prayer Union might embrace every worker who goes out from
our Canadian churches to the foreign work that such steps be
taken.
The above is respectfully submitted.
F. B. Rawlings.
124 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
TREASURER'S REPORT, 1904-5.
In presenting the twenty-fourth annual report of the Trea-
surer, one cannot refrain from praising God, from whom all
blessings flow. As will be seen from the comparison given under
"Receipts," our regular income has been nearly twenty-three
per cent, larger than that of the previous year, and this, shall
we say, in spite of the extra financial strain which has been upon
our churches? nay, but rather because of the extra burden, for,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Congregati'onalists are getting
into the habit of larger giving, of giving to the feeling point,
and are learning the blessedness of thus entering more fully
into partnership with the Master in the extension of His King-
dom upon earth.
The totals for the different Provinces are before us in the
printed statement. It will be noticed that while Ontario and
Quebec have remained practically stationary as to their contri-
butions for the Regular Fund, the Maritime and the Western
Provinces have increased their offerings nearly sevenfold. The
large increase in the west is accounted for almost entirely by
the Winnipeg First Church offering of $278, while nothing was
reported last year. The total of $75 from legacies is made up
of two amounts, one of $50 and one of $25. The late Rev.
John Wood, always a staunch friend in his lifetime, remem-
bered the foreign work in his death and left a bequest of $50.
The other legacy of $25 was left the Society by the late Philip
Lyster, of Melbourne, Que.
The largest amount received from any one church was $365
from the Toronto Northern. Montreal Emmanuel comes second
with $333 ; then follow Winnipeg First, $278 ; St. Andrews — lit-
tle St. Andrew's, with a membership of 38, more than half of
them women — $172, an average of nearly $4.50 each! Montreal
Calvary $168, and Kingston Calvary $145, which latter includes
CANADA FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 125
the splendid gift of $100 from Mr. B. W. Robertson.
Among the many, pleasant surprises the year has brought
are increased gifts from a number of our churches. For exam-
ple, our good Scotch friends at Maxville have more than doubled
their offering, which now totals $126, and this during their very
generous and self-denying efforts on behalf of the Jubilee Fund !
Again, Hamilton First has been steadily increasing until it has
now reached $100, and this while they have been paying off
their whole debt! And London Southern has done remarkably
well, increasing the amount given from $13 to $43 ! Toronto
Broadview is also deserving of special mention, having, in addi-
tion to paying more than half their church debt, contributed
$53 for foreign work. And to prove what a difficult thing it is
to kill a Congregational Church, Stouffville sends in $50 ! In
Quebec Province, we are glad to see Ayer's Cliff, Boynton, Am-
herst Part and "Westmount on the list this year.
Wonderful things have taken place down by the sea. Kes-
wick Ridge has climbed from $13 to $32. St. John, which last
year was not in the race, has appeared with $83, because of its
exceptional giving to the debt fund. Sheffield, always a mis-
sionary church, has increased from $41 to $62 ! At Yarmouth,
the tide has risen from $69 to $103; And, besides the church
offerings of these Lower Provinces, the Woman's Board of
N. S. & N. B. have shewn their interest in our African work
and in that of the McEwen's in South America by forwarding
$298, which means this much more from the Maritime Churches.
From the west, besides the large gift from Winnipeg First,
comes $20 from Victoria instead of the $1.00 of last year: and
last, but by no means least, the little Welsh church in Saltcoats,
"their deep poverty abounding unto the riches of their liber-
ality," have forwarded $11, this being, the Pastor writes, "the
first money the church has given excepting a few cents now and
then for buying wine for the Lord's Supper. . . The people
12G coNGi egat:oxai, ykar nooK
are very poor, having lost nearly aii tli ry had in Patagonia by
the terrible tioods." i\Iay they be rich.y blessed in the giving!
But not only have we had incref.sed receipts : the expendi-
ture has increased at a much greater ratio, and we have to re-
port a deficit of nearly $1,900. This has been caused princi-
pally by our having been responsible for Mr. Moffat's salary
for the whole of the year, and by the home-coming of the Mas-
seys. This year, while we shall not have Dr. Massey's salary to
pay, our expenses will likely be even heavier than for the year
just closed. Net cnly will there be Mr. Moffat's salary, but
about $800 will he required for Mr. and Mrs. Currie's travel-
ling expenses coming home. And there is an urgent need of a
doctor to be sent forward at the earliest possible moment. This
means additional expense for travelling and outfit. And then,
with the freeing of our churches from the bondage of debt, we
are looking forward to the extension of our work and possibly
to the opening up of a new station on British territory. That
there is a growing interest among our people is shewn by the
fact that they have furnished such a large share for the work of
Mr. and ]\Irs. McEwen in Brazil.
When we ccntemplate these larger needs, it is a joy -for us
to contemplate also the large possibilities for foreign missionary
giving even within our present membership. (1) There is our
regular constituency of earnest, prayerful supporters, whom we
value most highly. (2) There is the large field within our bor-
ders which is as yet producing no fruit. (3) The practice of
giving for the Jubilee Fund has enlarged our hearts, and the
promise of greater gifts is already being seen.
It may surprise some to know that this report reveals the
fact that the average giving for foreign missions has been less
than forty cents per member, while for the support of our own
field it has been only thirty cents ! The returns from the in-
dividual churches indicate that only a small percentage of the
CANADA FO:iEIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 12/
members have given anything. In some churches, even the min-
isters have not given, while in others possibly the ministers have
done it all.
How can we make the incoming year the best we have ever
had? By every member of every church giving regularly and
continuously, so much a week or so much a month, throughout
the entire year. How can this be brought about? Much de-
volves upon the pastor, who may be a potent educational force
in imparting missionary instruction to the people and in organiz-
ing for larger financial results. It is a good thing to have an
annual foreign missionary Sunday, but that should not be the
only day in the year for instructing, for praying, and for giv-
ing. It is a law of the Kingdom that the more we give the more
we shall get. Thank God, our people have been making room for
a large blessing by giving to the point of sacrifice ; but money is
not the greatest need of the Society or of the denomination.
As Dr. Hudson Taylor, who passed to his reward a few days
ago, once said, "We are commanded to -see first the Kingdom
of God, — not means to advance it ; " but we have the Master 's
promise that if we seek first his Kingdom all these things shall
be added: When this is our first thought, it is safe to leave the
rest to Him.
Respectfully submitted,
H. W. Barker,
Treasurer, pro tern.

N.B. — We are greatly encouraged in being able to present this report in
view of the other financial obligations upon us as churches. Notwithstand-
ing our largely increased expenditure and consequent deficit, we look for-
ward with hopefulness to the large and generous response which will "be
made possible by the retiring of our church debts. It must be remembered
that this coming year will involve us in heavy expenditure owing to the
expected home-coming of Mr. Currie and the sending out of a doctor. In
addition to all this, we desire to extend our work in several directions in
order to overtake the opportunities and pressing needs of the field.

ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
The Board of Governors has pleasure in presenting the fol-
lowing report for the year ending May, 1905 : —
All branches of the work have been satisfactorily maintained.
The Board congratulates the Corporation upon the efficiency
and devotion of the members, of its Faculty, and expresses
appreciation for the value and spirit of the year's work done
under their care.
Mr. Chas. McD. Hay, of Toronto, accepted his appointment
to the position of Governor, and while prevented by distance
from attending meetings, has proved himself a warm and very
helpful friend of the institution.
The Board would express to the churches its appreciation of
their support, and in this connection would urge the adoption
by all the churches of a systematic agreement by which these
shall be assured— a presentation of the claims of each of our
representative institutions, before each church, once in every
year, at the same time. October is suggested for College month.
The Board also emphasizes its appreciation towards those
personal subscribers, whose loyalty and generous interest have
meant so much in encouragement and practical results.
Mention is made with regreat of the death during the year
of two of the alumni, Rev. John Wood, of the class of 1851, and
Rev. Chas. Duff, M.A., of the class of 1862, both of whom ac-
tively participated in the discussions of the last and many previ-
ous annual meetings.
The three Governors who retire this year are -Messrs. Chas.
Gurd, Lieut.-Col. J. H. Burland, and Alex. McA. Murphy.
The reports of the various departments now follow: —
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA I^Q
REPORT OF THE SENATE TO THE CORPORATION.
THE TEACHING STAFF.
The past year has witnessed another and very definite step
forward in the steady progress of this College towards its high
ideals of efficiency for the service of the churches, in the addi-
tion to the teaching staff of the Rev. Eugene W. Lyman, M.A.,
B.D., as Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy of
^Religion.
Prof. Lyman delivered his inaugural lecture at the opening
exercises on the 6th of October last, his theme being "The The-
ology of the Missionary Churches — Its Sources. ' ' The good im-
pressions then made have been deepened, not only by his thorough
work in the classroom, but also by the way in which he has
identified himself with the life of our churches during the past
year.
STUDENTS ON THE ROLL.
We are glad to report that the steady decline in the number
of students which has characterized most Theological Colleges
during the past few years, seems, as far as this College is con-
cerned, to have come to an end. "We have more than held our
own, and believe that we are entering on a period of numerical
growth as well as greater efficiency.
The following new students were received:—
Mr. W. H. Burgess from the Tilbury Church. Mr. Burgess
unfortunately became sick during the McGill Christmas exami-
nations and had to return home. We hope to welcome him back
next session.
Mr. J. W. Pierce came to us from the Listowel Church, and
entered the second year in McGill.
Mr. Ola. R. Houghton came from the First Congregational
•Church at Bristol, Vermont. His business engagements allow
150 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
him freedom for study during most of the day. He embraced
our first year in Theology, having already done one year's work
in Middlebury College, Vermont, and has taken part of the
year's work with us.
Mr. W. J. Davey came to us recommended by the Rev. Mr.
Creegan, Congregational minister of Belfast, Ireland, as well as
by the Secretary of the Belfast City Mission, with which he had
successfully labored for the past four years. He entered our
final preparatory year.
We are glad to report also that the graduates of our College
now in the ministry are taking an increasing interest in the
B. D. Course. We have enrolled three additional students of
this class, viz., the Rev. Geo. EUery Read, the Rev. J. R. Drys-
dale, and the Rev. Arthur R. Schrag. Mr. Schrag has credit-
ably passed one examination during the past session. Mr. Drys-
dale has found it convenient to attend classes in Knox College
(Presbyterian), Toronto, and has successfully passed examina-
tions there in several subjects, due allowance for which has
been made to him in his work in the course for the degree of
B.D. in this College.
The following was the roll at the close of the session : —
1. Theological Classes, Senior Year — W. E. Baker, W. R.
Harvey, I. A. Rose, S. W. Anthony. Middle Year — J. J. Hutch-
inson. Junior Year — J. G. Hindley, B.A., Ola R. Houghton.
2. Preparatory Classes — G. S. Gervan, B. V. Tippett, W. J.

3. University Classes — E. Leroy Rice, and W. H. Burgess,
first year; I. W. Pierce, second year.
4. B. D. Course, Extra Mural— UeYS. E. C. Woodley, M.A.,

In addition to the above may be mentioned the fact that three
students of the Presbyterian College attended classes in 0. T.

SPECIAL LECTURES.
On account of very serious illness President N. Douglas
Mackenzie, D.D., of Hartford, was unable to carry out his en-
gagement to deliver a course of lectures in connection with the
McKechnie lectureship on the Philosophy of Religion, as adver-
tised. The Faculty were, however, fortunate in securing the
services of Prof. Geo. Barker Stevens, D.D., Professor in Sys-
tematic Theology, Yale, who gave a course of six lectures on
"The Philosophy of the Christian Doctrine of the Atonement."
These lectures were greatly appreciated. Many of the students
of the other Theological Colleges were in regular attendance,
besides professors, resident ministers and others, both ladies and
gentlemen.
Last year we were unable to secure a special lecturer in this
department. We have now to report that Mrs. McKechnie gen-
erously allowed her annual gift to be used in the purchase of
much needed books for the library, bearing upon the work of
this department of study.
EXAMINATIONS AND AWA.RDS.
The usual Christmas and Sessional Examinations have been
held: —
In the Senior Year the following students passed in the order
named, viz., W. R. Harvey, S. W. Anthony, 1. ^1. Rose. Mr.
W. E. Baker fell sick during examinations, one of which was
deferred and taken after a f evv^ days, and another was missed al-
together. His class work during the year and his standing in
the examinations taken were such as to warrant the Senate in
giving him, as well as. the three first named, the. diploma of the
College.
The four men of the graduating class also presented theses
on subjects chosen by themselves, showing commendable ability
and application. Mr. Harvey's is worthy of special praise, both
on account of thoroughness of investigation and mastery of the
152 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
subject. Its aim was to establish the thesis "That the religion
of a given race at a given time is relative to the whole mental
attitude of that time, and that Christianity is no exception to
this principle."
The John Frederick Stevenson Memorial Medal (gold) was
awarded to Mr. W. R. Harvey.
Robert Anderson Bursaries of the value of $30 each were
awarded to Mr. S. W. Anthony and Mr. Harvey.
The Calvary Church Medal (silver) was awarded to Mr.
Harvey.
The students of the other years have all passed the required
examinations, with the exception of those in the Preparatory
Department, some of whom are conditioned in one or two sub-
jects.
A prize of twenty dollars, generously given by Mrs. Hill for
the encouragement of the study of elocution, was awarded to
Mr. J. G. Hindley, B.A.
A Robertson Macaulay Bursary of the value of $60 has been
awarded to Mr. E. Leroy Rice, of the First Year in Arts,
McGill.
The standing of Mr. I. W. Pierce, Second Year Arts, did not
warrant the granting of a full Bursary to him, yet on account
of his general conduct and diligence a part of the second Robert-
son Macaulay Bursary, viz., forty-five dollars, was awarded to
him towards the payment of his fees.
The remainder of this Bursary, viz., fifteen dollars, was
granted to Mr. J. G. Hindley, who has taken a post-graduate
course in the University and done excellent work, and for which
no special scholarship has been provided.

Most of the students who wished it have received appoint-
ments for the summer, and three members of the graduating
class have accepted calls to the pastorate, all of them going to

READING COURSES FOR MINISTERS.
Towards the close of the session the Faculty received from
the Secretary of the Western Association a copy of the follow-
ing-resolution passed at its meeting last fall, viz. : "That where-
as we believe there are men in our ministry who desire to
improve their education, but who are unable to go to college,
we, the Western Association, memoralize the College to provide
an extra-mural course to meet the felt need." In reply the
Faculty stated that it would favorably consider the suggestion
of organizing reading courses as a guide to men who desire to
prosecute orderly courses of study should there be any real de-
mand. Meanwhile it would be well if those who desired such
assistance would communicate with the College so that their
individual needs might be met. Moreover, whatever might be
done should not be rewarded as equivalent to a College Course,
but simply as a help and guide to individual effort. This action
of the Faculty was approved by the Senate.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE DEGREE OP DOCTOR OF DIVINITY.
The conditions under which the higher degree in Divinity
may be conferred by this College according to the powers which
it possesses by statute, have been considered from time to time.

adopted after an investigation with the regulations governing
this matter which are in force in the best colleges, both in Can-
ada, the United States, England and Scotland. They are as
follows : —

uate of this College whose standing in his final year reached 75
per cent., the requirements of an additional year's residence and
of attendance at lectures upon the prescribed subjects shall be
waived, provided that examinations after all the required work
shall have been satisfactorily passed, and provided further, that
such a candidate has the maturity of personality and experience
which in the judgment of the Faculty justifies such" action.
CLOSING EXERCISES.
The Annual Sermon to the graduating class was preached in
Bethlehem Church, Westmount, by the Rev. Wm. Munroe, pas-
tor, on April 16th last, and the closing exercises were held in
the Assembly Hall of the College on the following Tuesday. A
feature of special interest was the unveiling of a beautiful por-
trait in oil colors of the late Rev. J. F. Stevenson, D.D., for
some time Principal of the College. Dr. Hill made the presenta-
tion on behalf of the donors, and the Rev. H. Pedley replied,
accepting the gift on behalf of the Board of Governors.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
Montreal, April 17, 1905.
The Governors of the Congregational College of Canada.
Gentlemen, — The following report of tlie Librarian for the
year April 18, 1904, to April 17, 1905, is herewith respectively-
submitted.
During the year the Library has received funds from its
customary sources, viz., the collections at the closing and opening
Convocations of the College, and the interest from the perman-
ent endowment. The amount thus derived has been expended in
needed books in the departments of the Old Testament, New
Tstament and of Practical Theology and Missions.
In addition a special gift of $100 was received from Mrs.
McKechnie, of Granby, for the purchase of books especially in
the department of Systematic Theology and Philosophy of
Religion. Ten dollars of this amount was devoted to the de-
partment of Homiletics and Practical Theology.
The Librarian, on behalf of the Faculty, desires to express
their thanks to Mrs. McKechnie for her generous and timely
gift, which has added so many valuable books to the Library.
The following are the receipts and expenditures for the
year :

NEEDS.
The Library is in urgent need of a larger revenue. Apart
from Mrs. McKechnie 's special gift, the amount available for the
purchase of books has been less this year than last. The neces-
158 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK
sity of having a well-equipped reference library for the best
efficiency of an institution of learning is a matter of common
agreement. With the addition of another professor to the teach-
ing staff there should be a corresponding increase in the fund
for the purchase of books.
The Librarian, therefore, would again urge the wisdom and
imperative need of bringing the permanent endowment of the
Library, which is at present $405, up to the $1,000 mark. This
would bring an annual revenue of $50 from that source.
Special gifts for immediate use in any department would be
of great assistance also, and would be much appreciated.

HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT.
Your Committee has pleasure in reporting that the building
has been well maintained, and is in good condition.
That the steward and stewardess have satisfactorily fulfilled
their duties, but that it was necessary for a portion of the term
to secure domestic help for the stewardess.
That the installation of improvements in the heating system
has resulted in extra comfort and a feeling of greater safety.
Your Committee asks authority to have a new and perman-
ent flag stone sidewalk, laid in front of the College and Prin-
cipal's residence in place of the present dilapidated wooden one.
The cost will be about one hundred and thirty dollars ($130).
The interior of the building will be painted by the steward
during the summer months, but the Conmiittee recommends
that the cupola be painted by outside contract at a cost of
about $50.
Your Committee recommends for the future that the rooms
shall not be rented to students other than those associated with
the work of the College, and again emphasizes the need of addi-
tional class rooms to accommodate the requirements of the four
professors.
Your Committee would express appreciation towards the
Ladies' Auxiliary for their unremitting and invaluable efforts,
and would record the kindly and helpful interest shown by the
principal.
Respectfully submitted,

LADIES' AUXILIARY REPORT.
The duties of our ladies have not been very onerous this
year, as churches having rooms have not added to, or sent money
donations to be spent on them. "We hope for a more generous
response next year.
Our thanks are due to Mrs. S. H. C. Miner for a handsome
carpet and mat, and to Lennoxville for a parcel of linen.
Dishes, kitchen utensils, cutlery, curtains, etc., as required
have been purchased with undesignated money.
We will be grateful to Ladies' Aid Societies who will remem-
ber us by money donations.
A most enjoyable and enthusiastic reception was given in
October to Rev. Prof, and Mrs. Lyman by the Governors. At
their request the Auxiliary took charge of refreslunents and
decorations, to the evident satisfaction of all present.
There is still one bedroom and the sitting-room not adopted
by any church, the sitting-room is very much in need of refur-
nishing, carpet and furniture are all shabby ; sums of money for
that purpose will be most acceptable.

Religion in Smith College, Northampton, Mass.

TREASURER'S REPORT.
The Financial Statements for the year, herewith submitted,
are very encouraging. While we have to report a falling off in the
subscriptions of all the Provinces, yet the increase from invest-
ments has enabled us to meet the expenses and nearly pay the
deficit of last year.
Ontario last year remitted from 38 churches $593.95, this
year 37 churches $516.01. Only one church sent more than $40,
viz., Ottawa First, w^hich increased their gift from $56 last year
to $92.55 this year. I might also mention Ottawa, Welcome
Zion, and the Western Toronto, also Stratford, churches that
in the past could not see their way to help, but s,re now, while
making great efforts to help themselves can reach out and help
the work in general, the most of the Ontario churches have
remitted smaller amounts.
In Quebec four churches have failed us this year ; last year
nineteen churches remitted $921.58, this year fifteen remitted
$866.88.
In the Maritime Provinces last year thirteen churches re-
mitted $102.52, this year six churches $70.30.
In the Northwest, Winnipeg and Victoria, last year, $111,
this year, Winnipeg and Brandon, $69.50.
From the United States last year $10, this year $20.
Personal gifts from Ontario last year $123, this year $16.10.
This is partly accounted for by Mr. B. W. Robertson giving
two years' subscription, $100, last year.
In Quebec the personal gifts are not so large, because the
donors, Mrs. Miner and Dr. Hill, to the annual deficit, were not
called upon to the same extent this year.
The increase in interest is caused by a larger amount being
invested, and invested in better paying securities, also by the
II

fact that we had an extra dividend of $330 from the Dominion
Coal Company preferred stock, which has been changed from an
8 to a 7 per cent, stock.
Interest on subscriptions is less, and will be less from year
to year, as the subscriptions are paid.
We are again indebted to Mr. Robertson Macaulay for a do-
nation of $120 for Bursaries, also to Mrs. Hill for $20 for prizes
in elocution. This does not appear in the Financial Statement,
as the amount did not pass through the Treasurer's hands. We
have much pleasure also in reporting that Mr. Miner paid
direct to the Congregationalist, the sum of two hundred and fifty
dollars on behalf of the College.
On behalf of the Trustees ' Endowment Fund I have to report
a decrease of $921.33. In the year 1902 Mr. A. C. Flumerfelt
donated $5,000 par value of Hutcheson Company, Limited, do-
ing business in Victoria, to the College. It was valued at $3,000,.
one dividend was paid, but this year the stock has become worth-
less. Mr. Flumerfelt took it back and gave us $1,000 cash in
its place. This amount, with subscriptions paid, amounts to
$2,078.67, leaving the deficit as above stated.
I have to report that all the investments are in good shape,
also that the interest on unpaid subscriptions is being well met.
The amount of unpaid subscriptions is $6,477.60.
I herewith present the Financial Statements duly audited by
Mr. Preble Macintosh, C.A.
The whole respectfully submitted,
Thos. Moodie,
Treasurer.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA ig^
The Trustees of tke Congregational College of Canada, Montreal.
Dear Sirs^ — I beg to report having completed the audit of

in the ^statement of assets, which I have signed.

annual meeting, carefully considered the attitude of the Society
towards members who removed from Canada, and came to the
unanimous conclusion that the present by-laws, both justly and
generously cover the situation and should be maintained.

the qualifying sentence, "To apply only in cases where the wife
of beneficiary is alive."
There are twenty-seven contributing churches th';s year,
against eighteen in 1903-04.
While this indicates a growth of interest, it also registers a
plea for a further and more general response.
In this connection your Board urgently recommends that
the churches agree upon a systematic presentation of the vari-
ous causes of our denominational work — and suggests that De-
cember be designated as P. F. S. month.

ANNUAL MEETING.
The Nineteenth Annual Meeting of tha Woman's Board con-
vened in Emmanuel Church, Montreal, on Thursday morning,
June 1st, at 9 :30 o 'clock, with delegates present from Forest,
Frome, Brantford, Toronto (Northern and Olivet), Kingston
(First), Ottawa (First and Welcome Zion), Maxville, G-ranby,
Dannville, and from all the Montreal churches. There were also
present Mr. and Mrs. Bell, who have been associated with Mr.
Currie in his work at Chisamba, and Miss Christina McDougall,
of Maxville, who has been laboring in India. Mrs. Macallum,
the esteemed President, occupied the chair. The morning was
devoted to hearing from the different branches of the Board as
to the work done during the year.
London Branch seems to have taken a new lease of life; its
report, given by Miss Rawlings, spoke of a most encouraging
Branch meeting held on May 23rd, at London, also of a new
Y. L. Society and Mission Band formed at Forest.
Guelph Branch, though not represented at the Convention,
sent a cheery and hopeful report through its Secretary, Miss
Johnston. A new Mission Band has been formed at Speedside.
Paris Branch, as usual, was ably represented, and its report
given by Mrs. Wilkes for the Secretary, Mrs. Edmonson, was
bright and encouraging. Paris Branch seems to have solved the
problem of keeping the different auxiliaries in touch with one
another — a problem which is puzzling some of the other branches.
Toronto Branch has closed a year of quiet and steady work,
unmai"ked by any special occurrence save the reorganization of
Zion Auxiliary.
Ottawa Branch had not held meetings as a Branch, but re-
ported work done by its several auxiliaries. This branch in-
cludes Maxville Auxiliary, which has given so many mission-
184 OONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK
aries to various parts of the foreign field.
Quebec Branch is large and very much scattered, including
all the auxiliaries in Quebec Province. The Branch Secretary-
appears to keep the auxiliaries in touch, and the plan of hold-
»
mg alternate meetings in town and country seems to work well.
Reports were also given from Kincardine and \Yingham. We
understand that the London Branch purposes taking these aux-
iliaries, which have been bravely struggling with difficulties,
under their fostering care.
Thursday afternoon was fully occupied in hearing reports
from the different officers of the Board, beginning with Mrs. Ma-
callum's address, "Seeing Him "Who is Invisible," which was
listened to with much attention.
The Secretary gave a synopsis of the work, both at home and
abroad. Reference was made to the progress at home, as marked
by the organization of several new societies, and to the work
abroad, at Chisamba, Smyrna and Ceylon.
The Treasurer reported rather less money donated for the
work of the Board than last year, but considering the amount
raised by the women of our churches for the Jubilee Fund we
have no reason to feel discouraged. The figures are $3,106.59
as against $3,277.88.
The Editor of the "Leaflet" has made a new departure in
the shape of a larger paper with better type. She hopes it may
be favorably received by the auxiliaries, and that the circulation
may be greatly increased.
On Friday morning after the opening exercises, conducted
by Mrs. Bell, the reports of the different departments of work
were given by the respective superintendents. One department,
that of Systematic Giving, was discontinued, and its place taken
by a department of Temperance, with Mrs. Sanderson as super-
intendent.
women's board of missions 185
The following plan of the work for the year was adopted: —
(1) The work in Chisamba, West Central Africa, including
the support of the Misses MeJville and Miss Diadem Bell ; the
Board 's share of station expenses ; the purchase of the organ
needed at the station; and (possibly) the completion of a house
for the Misses Melville.
(2) The work in Miss Macallum's boarding school, Smyrna,
to which the sum of $7Q was voted in continuance of the scholar-
ship.
(3) The support of a nurse and cot in Dr. (Scott's hospital,
Manepay, Ceylon ($50).
(4) The usual grant of $600 to the C. C. M. S., to be used
as they, in their judgment, deem best.
(5) The Forward Movement in the Northwest, no definite
sum being promised, but the amounts sent in to be used for the
work among the Scandinavians at Wetaskiwin.
Last year's officers were re-elected, and Mrs. H. W. Barker,
Toronto, was appointed Assistant Secretary.
A memorial service for the late Mrs. John Wood was held in
the afternoon. Mrs. Dr. McLaren conducted this service, and
paid a tender and loving tribute to Mrs. Wood's memory.
• Mrs. Wood M^as one of the four charter members of the Wo-
man's Board, and the first to be called home.
The evening meeting was presided over by Rev. Hugh Ped-
ley, and after a few happy words of greeting from himself, he
called upon Mr. Bell, who once. more delighted us for over an
hour with his views of Chisamba and its neighborhood. After
closing devotional exercises the Convention was adjourned.

FROM THE MINUTES.
The annual meeting of the Canada Congregational Publish-
ing Company was held in Bond Street Congregational Church,
Toronto, on the afternoon of June 9, 1905, Dr. C. J. Copp, Vice-
President, in the chaii*.
The meeting opened with prayer by Rev. J. W. Pedley. after
which the minutes of the last annual meeting were read and
approved.
The Directors presented the following report: —
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS.
Your Directors beg to report that owing to the liabilities of
the company the publication of the "Canadian Congregation-
alist" was suspended from June 30 to November 1, 1904. Since
the latter date the above publication has appeared every Thurs-
day under the editorship-in-chief of Rev. W. E. Gilroy, B.A.,.
and the co-editorship of Mrs. J. D. Nasmith, Revs. W. T. Gunn,
M.A., B.D. ; F. J. Day, B.A., B.D". ; T. B. Hyde and Messrs. A.
McA. Murphy and H. W. Barker, to all of whom we desire to
express our warm appreciation for the efforts they have put
forth to further the interest of our paper.
Also we desire to thank those who have so liberally contribut-
ed articles to our columns, apart from the regular editorials, and
trust these brethren will continue their support and be joined
by others that our paper may ever increase its standard of use-
fulness to our denomination.
We regret sincerely the withdrawal of Rev. F. J. Day from,
our editorial staff. His weekly reports have added much to the
paper, and we trust someone will be found to contribute as
loyally. We take pleasure in the fact that all our subject mat-
t r is now under the control of our editors and that we have a
CONGREGATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY ig-y
loyal Congregationalist as our publisher in the person of Mr.
W. Edwin Mertens. Our subscription list now numbers 803
names, of whom 318 are in arrears. We thank our subscribers
for their assistance in revising the subscription list.
Owing to the late appearance of the Year Book your Direc-
tors thought it desirable to send copies to the various churches
proportionate to the membership roll with requests that they be
■disposed of. The result has been the sale of 580 copies with 188
copies still to hear from. The increase in price, to twenty-five
cents, was necessitated by advanced prices for printing.
We desire to thank the C. C. Missionary Society, the C. C.
Foreign Mission Society, the C. C. College in the person of
S. H. C. Miner, Esq., the Central Executive of the Jubilee Fund
and the Western Association for their necessary subsidies to our
paper. Also Rev. John McKillican and the Maxville Church,
Hev. W. S. Pritchard, Eev. R. K. Black, Rev. D. C. Mcintosh,
-Mr. Wm. Woodley and the Western Church, Toronto, Mr. C. J.
Spencer and Mr. H. O'Hara for special subscriptions amount-
ing to $47, to the liabilities of 1903-04 account. This has helped
us to present the favorable financial statement herewith sub-
mitted.
It was moved by Rev. W. W. Smith, seconded by Rev. Prof.
"Warriner, that the reports which have just been read be received
and adopted. In doing so, both these gentlemen spoke in highly
appreciative terms of the editor. The motion was carried
unanimously.
Discussion then followed regarding the paper and' the Year
Book. It was suggested that an agent should be appointed in
each church, not only to obtain subscriptions, but to supply the
papter from time to time with church news. Rev. J. K. Uns-
worth suggested the elimination from the. Year Book of the postal
information.
It was moved by Mr. E. J. Joselin, seconded by Rev. J. T.

The Historical Series for Bible Students
EDITED BY
CHARLES FOSTER KENT, Ph.D., and
FRANK KNIGHT SANDERS, Ph.D., D.D.
To-day the historical is being more and more generally recognized as
the true method of Bible study. Only with a definite krtowledge of the con-
ditions and problems of their age can the great characters of the Bible be
appreciated and their writings fully understood. The earnest research and
fruitful excavations of the past century have revealed a wealth of facts
which marvelously illuminate the background of the life and teaching of the
Bible and now make it possible to study Judaism and Christianity in con-
nection with the history and religious thought of that ancient Semitic world
amidst which they developed. The "Historical Series" as a whole gives a
unified and comprehensive view of the nations, men and forces most potent
in moulding these two great religions. Accurate maps, chronological charts,
etc., are provided, making every volume of the series an authoritive and in-
valuable handbook for reference.

machinery and formulae we have succeeded in
earning the merit and appreciation of a large
clientele. We have relaxed no efforts in our
endeavors to keep our business continually in a
thorough "up-to-date" condition.
The business has been under the direct man-
agement of Mr. Charles Gurd for over thirty-
seven years. Benefiting by this long experience,
■we have been enabled to secure the very best re-
sults of manufacture. No expense has been
spared in securing the highest class of machinery
and other equipments for our new factory, and
we believe the result gives us the largest accom-
modation and most approved facilities for the
manufacture of Aerated Wateis on the con-
tinent.
In purchasing PLEASE SEE THAT OUR
LABEL IS ON EVERY BOTTLE, as this is
a guarantee against inferior substitutes.
With appreciation of your favors,
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES GURD lS; CO.
To Our Friends and Patrons :
We take this opportunity of thanking you
for your co slant and liberal patronage for the
past thirtj'-seven years.
On the 1st of May, i8j6, we entered the field
with the object of assuming the lead in our line
of business, and by reason of constant attention
and use of the "best" of mgredients, purifiers.
It has been our aim from
the beginning to supply
Canadian consumers
with an article of Cana-
dian Manufacture equal,
if not better, than any-
thing imported.
