PREFACE-

EAR by year, we try to improve the Year Book ; and to present our readers, in an attrac- tive form, with all that is interesting in the churches and societies for the year. The church map of Ontario, notwithstanding some crudities inseparable perhaps from a first attempt, will l)e found useful ; and the cuts of two North- West churches will be, in the time to come^ historical landmarks. The money-lists are placed in connection with the reports of respec- tive societies to which they belong. One society so requested this year ; and we thought we would make the same change with the others. Like the good deacon whom we know up the country. We " dont like to drive in ruts."

The statistics will never be perfect ; but there is a very good approach to it. Some of the columns will repay a most careful study. There are some needless difficulties made ; as for instance, when the important churches of Embro and Parkdale, and the smaller churches of Dalton and Vespra, give no returns of mem- bership ; nor are there any figures of last year to fall back upon. We therefore, in making up the summary on page 49, add 200 for the present membership of the churches.

Nor are the advertising pages to be neglected. What with good books and papers, and good dinners and suppers, and good

iv PREFACE.

articles of commercial value, and good insurance-investments against old age, and family bereavement — we thus spread about useful information for many wants.

We hope every church will fully report itself next year and

that every Congregational family from this time foif\vard, will

regularly order the Year Book, and the Canadian Independent

Magazine.

CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF ONTARIO AND QUEBEC.

EDITORIAL.

In June, 1890, Kingston entertained the Congregational Union of the two Provinces for the fifth time. There are now three churches ; and Rev. Dr. Jackson remarked at ,the closing meeting, that in preparing to eotertain the Union, they had not been obliged at all to go outside the membership of the three churches of the city. Others would gladly have helped, but the assistance was not needed.

The Chairman, Rev. William Cuthbertson, B.A., of Woo(i- stock, Ontario, in his address from the Chair, gave a masterly review of Biitish Colonization ; showing the influence, in many lands and instances, of the puritan and pilgrim spirit, in mould- ing constitutions and securing liberty. Rev. Principal Barbour's sesmon on the Sabbath morning, was on " The open hand," (" Thou shall open thy hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy in thy land." — Deut. 15 : 11). No better plea, with more cogent nor irresistible arguments was ever made for Canadian Home Missions. And Rev. William Mcintosh, of Yar- mouth, Nova Scotia, preached a powerful and acceptable ser-mon from the same pulpit in the evening.

It seems a pity the Woman's Board of Missions were not always meeting at the same place as the Union. This year they

50 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.

met in Montreal. A friendly exchange of salutations by tele- graph, testified to the interest in each other's work and welfare.

The College is full of students, but there is a deficit in the funds, becoming yearly a little larger, and the churches do not help us as they might in the matter. It needs systematizing in the home fields. A multitude of people who now give nothing, would contribute, if somebody came regularly at fixed periods to their doors to receive the subscriptions. It was with pleasure the ministers and delegates heard that Principal Barbour would visit a number of churches during the summer.

The Missionary Society was in a similar difiiculty about funds. The grants were again cut down by one-fourth. Rev. Thomas Hall, Missionary Superintendent has resigned, and the office will not for the present be refilled. A larger number of the churches are becoming year by year, self-supporting ; and before long the " Home Mission " work will be in the more dis- tant and newer provinces of the Dominion. A bequest or two from those who have the cause of God in their hearts, would tide over the present difficulty, and leave the Society free to do a good work where it is most needed.

The presence of Rev. W. F. Clarkson, of Birmingham, Eng- land, was felt to be very inspiring to the Union ; and the request was formulated that such representations might, if possible, be a standing annual arrangement. With such largely increased intercourse between the two countries, such an expectation might be easily realized.

No praise could be too great for the way the ladies of the First Church entertained the delegates to luncheon. Experience is a tree with very many branches ; and next time, the ladies waiting on the table will take their own private and individual refection just before announcing dinner to their guests, so that the speechifying the members are always sure to indulge in, may go on for an hour without discomfort to anybody. Principal Grant, the Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly, and other Kingston clergymen present at the dinner, testified both by their presence and their words, a hearty " God speed " to the Con- gregational enterprise in the land.

No man has, under ordinary circun)stances, been twice elect- ed to the chair of the Union. This unwritten usage, which has much to commend it, will probably be continued. This year the " Prairie Province," Manitoba, was complimented in the election

UNION MEETING. 51

of one of the youngest occupants of the chair, Rev. Hugh Ped- ley of Winnipeg ; who will do honor to the chair and to his Province.

And no " Union " is complete without an excursion. So the steamer "Maud " was chartered by the ladies, to take the dele- gates, their wives, and their hosts and hostesses, a short trip among " The Thousand Islands," of the St. Lawrence. The ex- cursion lasted five or six hours ; with a pleasant tea, to be had of the steward.

Guelph, Ontario, invited the Union in a most hearty way, to hold next year's meeting there ; and to Guelph we go, God will- ing, next June. »

The following, entitled, " Cheering aspects of our Denomina- tional Work," is the substance of an address to his people, by the Rev. John Morton, of Hamilton, Ontario, the Sunday after his i-eturn from the Union at Kingston :

Isaiah, speaking of the Word of God, says that it shall prosper in the thing whereto it has been sent. Standing on this text we know that a time is coming when every one on the earth will be good. No one can forecast the distance of that time. There will be revolutions before it come. Again and again nations and individuals must taste the bitterness of sin before they are convinced that it is evil. But the time is coming when the good will inherit not only part of the earth, but the whole of it. The Christian denominations are the great agents under Christ in this work. No doubt there are good men outside all the denominations, who are in touch of Christ, and diffusing his thoughts of men and things, but it will not be seriously questioned that the mass of men who are in the forefront of humane enterprises in all parts of the earth have been nurtured, and now stand within one or other of our Christian denominations. Look at the representative gatherings of these denominations in our own land, which have been or are being held : the Presbyterian assembly now in session at Ottawa, the Methodist conferences, the Anglican synods, our own and other conferences. The discussions in these representative gatherings have been not about small matters of ecclesiasticism, peccadilloes of doctrine, but about general matters pertaining to the moral and physical well- being of the people. They have shown that the leaders of our denom- inations have at heart the good of the people who are now in Canada, and the good of those who are yet to be. Nor are these denominations, in their representative men, envious of each other ; they glory in the work of one another. Let a representative of one of the denominations stand in a conference of another, as Dr. Grant did in ours at Kingston the other day, and he will take pleasure in speaking of the work which

52 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.

the sister denomination has accomplished. He will say, as Dr. Grant said, that each denomination is emphasizing some truth, and all are helping to bring the time when the judgments of Christ will be victor- ious. As to our own denomination, I will speak of some of its cheer- ing features. We are growing. In twenty years we have increased 116 per cent. In the last two years we planted churches in Vancou- ver, Portage la Prairie, Brandon and Winnipeg, and several in Toronto. Our missionary society is encouraged. Our deficit was a burden ; but this year it is being met, the leading members of the churches putting their hand nobly to the work. Our publications are taking root ; the Independent, our denominational paper, having a healthier subscription list. This is a hopeful sign, for who can estimate the power of the press in these days 1 We are also getting an increased number of our own sons into the ministry. This is the hope of the church. While •we do not believe in the protection of the ministry, but would take good men from any land, still the man, as a rule, who will preach the ■gospel with most power in Canada, is the man who has the Canadian frankness, directness, freedom from sanctimoniousness ; who, honestly loyal to his Master, bears his message without fear. These men hav- ing a love for Canada under their ribs, inspired by Christ, will help to make our beloved land what we wish it to be. Another pleasing feature is the interest we are taking in public questions. Christianity looks not only to the individual but to the nation. In all human probability the population of our country will rapidly increase. In addition to the natural growth of sons and daughters born on our own soil, it will be. greatly augmented by immigration. We are now comparatively few, but five millions scattered over our great estate ; but a hundred years after this we shall be one of the great families of mankind, and we shall play our part in solving the social problems which the human family have on hand.

Now this great family which is to grow up within the next cen- tury, in our northern home, and spread itself from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is, to every lover of his kind, an object of profound solicitude. Long since, in a hillside home in Judea, a child was born amid remark- able circumstances, and the people who came to look on him asked, What manner of man will this child be 1 So we, looking on Canada now in her cradle, ask. What manner of nation will this child be a hundred years hence? There are many dangers to our national life. Religious monopoly threatens to divide the people into two or three camps, each one contending that it alone has the exclusive right to the waters of life, forgetting that God is good to all, and that His ten- der mercies are over all His other works. Pride of race is another divisive passion which threatens to cleave our people into two groups, each clamoring for supremacy, unmindful that God has made of one blood all nations of the earth. But there are worse dangers than any of thein. There are evils which threaten to sap the morals of the

UNION MEETING. 53

people and bring men into the slavery of their passions. But there are many things that give me hope for our people. Their enterprise is a healthy thing. No people ever went down while they were engaged in clearing and cultivating land, making roads, and building factories. Productive enterprise is elevating. Their educational system is also upholding. And then, in addition to these, we have special agencies to warn our rising generation against the debasing sins of drunkenness and sensuality. Our ideals have great hope in them. The men and women held up as examples to our youths are not now those of great intellect, but those who have been engaged in some philanthropic work. Above all and in all we have the gospel, which is Amazon among the rivers of reform, the Pacific among the oceans of blessing, the massive tree which bears the fruit for the healing of the people. We, as one of the smaller denominations may, by God's help, acquit ourselves nobly in helping to make this country what we desire it to be in the future.

OBITUARY.

THE REV. JOSEPH SHALLCROSS.

Mr. Shallcross began his ministry in the Congregational Church, Coldsprings, in October, 1888, and late in the following month was installed pastor. The Revs. Dr Jackson and Thos. Hall, of Kingston, and R. Aylward, Cobourg, took part in the service. Judging from the large number of friends in attendance, in spite of the very unfavorable weather, his settlement was quite an event in the history of the village. It certainly was a thing of joy and hope to the members of the " little church at the corner." Those who heard him speak that night will not soon forget it. But his minis-

OKll'L'AUV. 55

try in Canada, thus happily commenced, was destined to be painfully short. For within thirteen months of the inaugural service referred to, the church was again crowded, — but this time with an audience in tears. They had assembled to pay their last tribute of love to the memory of him whose face they would never again look upon, and whose voice they woull never again hear. One brief word respecting his last illness. His death was not so sudden as was commonly sup- posed. As far back as October he took a heavy cold, and his physician began to treat him with a view to its removal. He then thought it desirable, if not necessary, to take a trip to the "old country," " to be home for Christmas "■ — and to stay home during the winter months. He was to have sailed on the 1 2th of December, and it was not until the very eve of that day that he thought it wise to postpone the jour- ney. From this time forward the story is one of growing anxiety, patient watching and tender care. Then came Christmas day — the day on which he wished so much to be " home," when, in spite of all that tender love and medical skill could devise, he peacefully passed away. So lived, and so died, Joseph Shallcross, the man of God and the friend of men. — Com.

At a meeting of the Cobourg Ministerial Association, held shortly after, the following resolution was passed : —

" That this Association has heard with the greatest possible sorrow and re- gret of the lamented death of their late friend and neighbor, the Rev. Joseph Shallcross, pastor of the Congregational Church, Coldsprings ; and hereby place on record their deep sense of the great loss thus sustained, not only by the mem- bers of his own church, but also by the cause of God throughout the neighborhood. The Association also wishes to convey their deepest sympathy with the church and people thus afflicted, and especially with the members of the family of the deceased so sadly bereaved."

One of the members of his church at Coldsprings writes as follows. We don't wonder that they loved the man : —

The late Mr. Shallcross had been here about fourteen months, and he had made more friends in that time than any other man we ever had. Our services were well attended ; the church was crowded in the evenings ; and there are those of other denominations who tell us that they received more good from Mr. Shallcross than they ever did from any other man. But he is gone. He suffered very much ; and he bore it with a patience that none but one possessed with an eternal hope could have done. Again we say, he is gone ! But his kind words and actions will ever remain, with those who waited on him in his last hours.

STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE AND CONFESSION OF

FAITH.

Adopted by the Union at its Annual Meeting at Ottawa, 8th June, 1886.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT.

1. We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible ;

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who is of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made ;

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who is sent from the Father and Son, and who, together with the Father and Son, is worship- ped and glorified.

60 CONGREGATIONAL UNION, O. AND Q.

II. We believe that the Providence of God, by which He executes His eternal purposes in the government of the world, is in and over all events ; yet so that the freedom and responsibility of man are not impaired, and sin is the act of the creature alone.

III. We believe that man was made in the image of God, that he might know, love and obey God, and enjoy Him forever ; that our first parents by disobedience fell nnder the righteous condemnation of God ; and that all men are so alienated from God that there is no salvation from the guilt and power of sin except through God's redeeming grace.

IV. We believe that God would have all men return to Him ; that to this end He has made Himself known, not only through the works of nature, the course of His providence, and the consciences of men, but also through supernatural revelations made especially to a chosen people, and above all, when the fullness of tine was come, through Jesus Christ, His Son.

V. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the record of God's revelation of Himself in the work of redemption ; that they were written by men under the special guidance of the Holy Spirit ; that they are able to make wise unto salvation ; and that they constitute the authoritative standard by which religious teaching and human conduct are to be regulated and judged.

VI. We believe that the love of God to sinful men has found its highest expression in the redemptive work of His Son ; who became man, uniting His divine nature with our human nature in one person ; who was tempted like other men, yet without sin ; who, by His humiliation. His holy obedi- ence. His sufferings. His death on the cross, and His resurrection, became a perfect Redeemer ; whose sacrifice of Himself for the sins of the world de- clares the righteousness of God, and is the sole ind sufficient ground of for- giveness and of reconciliation with him.

VII. We believe that Jesus Christ, after He had risen from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, as the one Mediator between God and man. He carries forward His work of saving men ; thai He sends the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin. and to lead them to repentance and faith ; and that those who, through renewing grace turn to righteousness, and trust to Jesus Christ as their Redeemer, receive for His sake the forgiveness of their sins, and are made the children of God.

VIII. We believe that those who are thus regenerated and justified, grow in sanctified character through fellowship with Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and obedience to the truth ; that a holy life is the fruit and evidence of saving faith ; and that the believer's hope of continuance in such a life is in the preserving grace of God.

IX. We believe that Jesus Christ came to establish among men the kingdom of God, the reign of truth and love, righteousness and peace ; that to Jesus Christ, the Head of this kingdom. Christians are directly respon- sible in faith and conduct ; and that to Him all have immediate access with- out mediatorial or priestly intervention.

X. We believe that the church of Christ, invisible and spiritual, com- prises all true believers, whose duty it is to associate themselves in churches for the maintenance of worship, for the promotion of spiritual growth and fellowship, and for the conversion of men ; that these churches, under the

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT. 61

guidance of the Holy Scriptures, and in fellowship with one another, may determine — each for itself — their organization, statements of belief, and forms of worship, may appoint and set apart their own ministers, and should co-operate in the work which Christ has committed to them for the furtherance of the Gospel throughout the world.

XI. We believe in the observance of the Lord's day, as a day of holy rest and worship ; in the ministry of the word ; and in the two sacraments, whbh Christ has appointed for His church : Baptism, to be administered to believers and children, as the sign of cleansing from sin, of Union to Christ, and of the impartation of the Holy Spirit ; and the Lord's Supper, as a symbol of His atoning death, a seal of its efficacy, and a means whereby He confirms and strengthens the spiritual union and communion of believers with Himself.

XII. We believe in the ultimate prevalence of the kingdom of Christ over all the earth ; in the glorious appearance of the great God and our Sav- iour, Jesus Christ ; in the resurrection of the dead ; and in a final judgment, the issues of which are everlasting punishment and everlasting life.

The Union also submits, for the use of the churches in the admis- sion of members, the following

CONFESSION OF FAITH :

What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of sal- vation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the pre- ^nce of all His people. [Ps. cxvi. 12-14].

Whosoever, therefore, shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father ^hich is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [Matt. x. 32-33].

Fnr with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ; and with the mouth confession is made unt-o, salvation. [Rom. x. 10].

Dearly beloved, called of God to be His children, through Jesus Christ our Lord, you are here that, in the presence of God and His peojjle, you may enter into the fellowship and communion of His Church. You do truly re- pent of your sins ; you heartily receive Jesus Christ as your crucified Saviour and risen Lord, you consecrate yourself unto God and your life to His ser- vice ; you accept His Word as your law, and His Spirit as yom- Comforter and Guide ; and, trusting in His grace to confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, you promise to do God's holy will, and to walk with this church in the truth and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accepting according to the measure of your understanding of it, the sys- tem of Christian truth held by the churches of our faith and order, and by this church into whose fellowship you now enter ; you join with ancient saints, with the church throughout the world, and with us, your fellow be- lievers, in humbly and heartily confessing your faith in the Gospel, say- ing :

I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary ; suffered under Pontius Pilate ; was crucified, dead and buried ; the third day He rose from the dead ; He ascend- ed into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty ;

62 • CONGREGATIONAL UNION, O. AND Q.

from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in

the Holy Ghost ; the holy catholic Church ; the communion of saints ; the

forgiveness of sins ; the resiurection of the body ; and the life everlasting.

Amen.

[Then should baptism be administered to those who have not been baptized. Then should those rise who would unite with the church by letter. To them the minister should say] :

Confessing the Lord whom we unitedly worship, you do now renew yonr self-consecration, and join with us cordially in this, our Christian faith and covenant.

[The members of the church present should rise];

We welcome you into our fellowship. We promise to watch over you with Christian love. God grant that, loving and being loved, serving and being served, blessing and being blessed, we may be prepared, while we dwell together on earth, for the perfect communion of the saints in heaven.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,'through the blood of the everlasting coven- ant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." [Hebrews xiii. 20-21]. [Jude •24-25 is proposed as an alternative benediction].

RESOLUTIONS IN REFERENCE TO COUNCILS.

Adopted at the Annual Meeting of the Union in Montreal, June, 1876, and reaffirined in 1880 and 1882.

1. That previous to the formation of a new church of our order, a Council of pastors and delegates of sister churches should be called by the parties desiring to be so formed into such a church, and that statements and documents relating to the proposed organization should be presented to the Council thus formed, and its advice in the matter sought.

2. That in the ordination, recognition or installation of pastors, and in the setting apart of evangelists in or among our churches, the church over whom the pastor is to be placed, or of which the evan- gelist is a member, should call a Council, before whom shall be laid the call of the church, and the credentials of the pastor-elect, or of the rvangelist, as the case may be, and the advice of the Council souglit in relation thereto.

3. That a Council consists of the representatives of churches, not individuals, and it is expedient that each church consulted should be represented by its pastor and a delegate, and should embrace, though not exclusively, the sister Congregational churches contiguous to the church or people seeking advice.

MINUTLS. 67

THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE UNION COMMITTEE.

The past year has been marked in an unusual degree by the number of vacancies that have occurred in the pastorate of several of our larger churches and the consequent loss to this Union of the services of some who were wont to have a large share in its work.

We would only mention our brother, Rev. F. H. Marling, who had only well inaugurated the scheme for raising the College Jubilee Endowment, when he relinquished the work, to return to the United States ; the Revs. D. McGregor and H. D. Hunter, (both only recently holding the position of Chairmen of this Union), and the Rev. J. C. Wright, have also crossed over to the neighboring Republic, and the Rev. Geo. Fuller has returned to England. The positions vacated by these brethren have been already par- tially filled, and we trust others may speedily come and fill up the ranks, and help forward the work.

We have also to record with sorrow the death of the Rev. Joseph ShaUcross. Mr. Shallcross was only admitted to this Union last year ; but he had already won the esteem and confidence of his brethren and was happy in a very successful pastorate, when the Master called him to his rest.

Such changes as these should inspire us with a deeper devotion to Christ's cause, a stronger determination that we will work together in loving unity, that we may knit still closer the ties that bind us to each other, and to our common Lord.

Sunday School Statistics. — The Rev. J. C. Wright at the time of his leaving Canada, was Statistical Secretary of this Union for Sunday Schools. Your committee did not appoint any one to take up the work for him, but arrangements were made with the General Statistical Secretary to incorpor- ate in his returns such items of information pertaining to our Sunday Schools as he had been accustomed to do in former years.

Deputatz'ons and Committees. — Deputations were appointed from this Union, at its last meeting, to the Union of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the National Council of the United States, the Lord's Day Alliance and the Dominion Alliance for the suppression of the liquor traffic ; also a committee to co-operate with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the matter of temperance, and a committe on church union to confer with similar committes appointed by other bodies. We would recommend that the Busi- ness Committee find an early opportunity for these brethren to report to the Union. Also that the same committee appoint a time for the hearing of the Rev. W. Mcintosh, who comes to us as the delegate of the Union of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

At the meeting of the National Council of the United States in Worces- ter, last year, two gentlemen were appointed as delegates to this body, the Rev. F. N. Noble, D.D., of Chicago, and Deacon Samuel Holmes, of Mont- clair. Both these gentlemen greatly anticipated the pleasure of being with us to-day ; but circumstances have prevented them from doing so, and they send their greetings to this body.

We have much pleasure in announcing to the Union that the Rev. W. F. Clarkson, B.A., of Edgsbaston, Birmingham, has been appointed a dele- gate from the Congregational Union of England and Wales, and will be pre- sent in our meetings. Your committee have arranged for the introduction

68 CONGREGATIONAL UNION, O. AND Q.

of Mr. Clarksoii to-morrow morning, immediately after the election of the Chairman for 1891 ; when he will formally present the salutations of the brethren in England.

Congregational Manual. — In the year 1886, this Union became possess- ed, as legatee under the will of Duncan Bain, Esq., of the sum of $204. It was felt at the time that this gift could not be expended more suitably than in the preparation of a " Manual of Congregational Principles and Usages"; and a committee was appointed to consider and report. Very little, however, has been done, beyond the appointment of committees from year to year. The committee appointed last year were given definite in- structions to report to this Union, and we are happy to say that a report has been prepared, and we trust that something tangible will yet be accom- plished.

International Council. — In the year 1885, this Union by resolution re- quested the Union of England and Wales, "to consider the practicability of the meeting of a General Congregational Council."

That resolution was very favorably received by our brethren in England, and a special committee was appointed, which has secured the promise of the hearty co-operation of the churches in the United States and more dis- tant colonies. Communications have been received from Dr. Hannay, giving the ad interim report of this special Committee, and enclosing also a list of questions in regard to the time of the meeting and other matters of detail. We would recommend that the Chairman and Secretary, together with the Rev. Dr. Cornish and Rev. E. M. Hill, be a committee to consider the whole question and report thereon, and to bring in at the same time also a nomin- ation of representatives from this Union to that Council.

Statistics. — Your committee have had under their consideration the ad- visability of making some modifications in the present statistical tables ; and would recommend that the following be a committee to consider the matter, and report thereon to the Union, viz.: Revs. George Robertson, John Wood aad W. H. Warriner.

Public Questioibs. — Various ({uestions of public interest will be brought before the Union by the delegates already referred to, and further action on the part of this Union may be called for in particular cases ; we would, how- ever, take this opportunity of calling the serious attention of this Union to the resolutions on'political corruption, which have for some time past ap- peared in the public press. To their own honor, both the Dominion par- liament and the Quebec Legislature have already dealt with this matter to some extent ; but it seems only right as Christian citizens, this Union should express its abhorence of the prostitution of political influence for personal gain ; and its determination, as far as possible, to secure upright and honor- able representatives.

Progress. — In bringing this report to a close, we feel that we must thank God for the measure of success with which he has blessed the labors of his people, both as regards the growth and development of individual churches and our denominational societies. It is good to look back sometimes ; and looking back to-day over the eleven years since we last enjoyed the hospital- ity of the First Congregational Church of Kingston, we find much that calls for deepest gratitude.

The success of the Church with which we meet, is seen in the tine stone- built Congregational hall, which has been erected in the rear of this build- ing. We trust that it may continue to flourish under the blessing of God.

MINUTES. 69

Looking over the field embraced by this Un on, we find that twenty new churches have been organized ; thirty church buildings have been erected, and others enlarged. We had no church in Manitoba eleven years ago, now we have five, and one in Vancouver. We had no College building ; now we have a substantial stone building, and a considerable increase in the number of students. We had no Foreign Missionary Society then ; now this is one of our most successful institutions, and already has two missionaries in the foreign field. We had no Woman's Board of Missions then ; to-day this most valuable auxiliary holds its fourth annual meeting in the City of Mont real. Our reported membership was then only 5,365 ; last year it had in- creased to 8,327.

Surely we may find in this review of our growth, though it has not been all that we have desired, abundant cause for thankfulness, and we feel sure that you will unite with us in prayer that we may be more worthy of the blessing of God. On behalf of the Committee,

W. Henry Warriner, Secretary.

To THE Honorable Oliver Mowat,

In re Prison Reform.

The Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec, now in session, begs

76 CONGREGATIONAL UNION, O. AND Q.

to lay before your favorable notice the following Resolutions, which have been unanimously adopted, viz. :

1. Resolved, that this Union learns with pleasure, that the Ontario Government has consented to issue a Ccmmission on Prison Reform.

2. That we trust the Government will instruct the proposed Commission to spare neither time nor expense in investigating the practical working of the best penal systems of other countries.

Mr. Morton also reported on behalf of the Business Com- mittee, recommending the adoption of the following Resolution :

That we accept the suggestion of the joint Committee of the Presby- terian and Methodist Churches to re-appoint the committee consisting of Revs. E. C. W. MacColl and J. G. Sanderson, and Messrs. W. A. Lamb and R. W. McLachlan ; and that we accept the following Resolutions :

Whereas, The traffic in intoxicating liquors is a recognized evil, produc- ing a large proportion of the poverty, suffering, disorder and crime in our Dominion, and unnecessarily adding much to the taxes of our people ; aiid Whereas, We believe that a law enacted by the Dominion Parliament pro- hibiting the importation, manufacture, and sale of all alcoholic liquors, except for use in mechanical, medicinal and sacramental purposes, and con- taining ample provisions for its strict enforcement by the proper authorities, will greatly diminish these and other evils, and largely increase the pros- perity, and promote the health, peace and morals of our country :

It is therefore resolved. That in the opinion of this Union it is now the duty of the Dominion Parliament to enact such a prohibitory law.

2. That a form of petition to the Dominion Parliament, asking for the enactment of such a prohibitory law be agreed upon by the Committees on Temperance of the different Churches, and that each Committee attend t<3 the work, and bear the expense of circulating such petitions among its own people.

3. That such petition be signed by members and adherents of the Churches, who are not less than sixteen years of age.

4. That the arranging and carrying out of all necessary details be entrusted to a joint committeee to be composed of one member of the Com- mittee of each Church co-operating in this movement.

All of which were adopted.

We recommend that the report of the Committee on "Church Manual' be adopted, and the Committee continued. In view of that we recommend,

1. That Dr. Jackson be appointed to prepare a Manual suitable to our Canadian Churches ; and that before publication he submit it for approval to the Manual Committee.

2. That the Union funds in trust for that purpose be given to Dr. Jack- son, to enable him to carry out that plan ; and that he be requested to prepare it as soon as possible, and publish it upon his own authority. Adopted.

Adopted.

2. This Union is heartily thankful for the recent temperance legislation by the Ontario Government, and trusts that the public will take advantat'e of its efforts to advance the interests of temperance by these new provisions, and further relies with confidence on the Government to render efficient help to the public in putting into execution the laws which thej' have enacted. Adopted.

80 CONGREGATIONAL UNION, O. AND Q.

The Union then entered upon a Conference of Home Mis- sionary affairs.

It was moved by Henry Yeigh and

Resolved, That in view of the shortage in the funds of the C. C. M. S. it is of vital importance that we as a denomination make a united and enthusiastic effort to raise a sufficient amount to cover the deficiency.

That in order to successfully accomplish this, the Churches, Sabbath Schools, and Young Peoples' Societies of our denomination in Canada, be requested to observe the first week in November, or Thanksgiving week, as a fit time for this special effort ; and that it be a week of self-denial and thank-offering.

That we pledge ourselves to heartily support this movement ; and as far as possible, to assist the Committee to arouse the interest, and secure the co-operation of all departments of the Church.

Moved by the Rev. W. H. Warriner, seconded by Rev. W. W. Smith,

That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Secretary of the Home Mission Society ; with the request that the Executive take means to bring it before the churches in the "best possible manner. Carried.

Moved by Rev. E. D. Silcox, seconded by Mr. J. M. M. Duff,

That Rev Dr. Barbour be requested to allow the Annual Sermon to be published in the Year Book ; and also in pamphlet form for circulation. Carried.

Dr Barbour expressed his willingness to prepare the manu- script of the sermon for the printer.

The Conference on Home Missions then closed.

The Business Committee recommended the adoption of the following resolutions in regard to Political Corruption :

Inasmuch as the ministers and members of the Congregational Churches throughout the length and breadth of Her Majesty's Empire, have always felt it their duty to take an active and intelligent interest in its political affairs, this Union feels it would be recreant to its sense of what is just and right were it to be silent at the present time :

Be it there resolved, that this Union has observed with humiliation and regret, the fact that one of the members of the Dominion Parliament has been convicted by his peers of conduct, which they have condemned as cor- rupt, scandalous and utterly unworthy of a member of their Body, and that he has declared with apparent truth, that he is but one of many who have been guilty of like conduct ; it looks with even greater shame on the fact that the guilty member has been re-elected by his constituency, thus appar- ently having his corruption endorsed by the constituency, and inasmuch as it desires to continue to believe in the moral integrity of its members, it would insist that public men found guilty of such deplorable conduct receive the stamp of political reprobation. Adopted.

MINUTES. 81

The following resolution in regard to Separate Schools was then moved by Rev. W. F. Clarke, and seconded by Mi-. George H. Skinner,

That this Union adheres to the time-honored testimony of Congrega- tionalism, against all state aid to religious denominations ; is prepared to use all constitutional means for the elimination of the separate school fea- ture from our educational system ; and so long as that feature is tolerated, will protest against any and all encroachments on popular liberty by the Romish hierarchy. Carried.

The following resolution in regard to Equal Rights was then moved by Rev. W. F. Clarke, and seconded by Mr. Phillips :

That this Union, while sedulously careful to avoid interference in mere party politics, feels called upon to declare itself on all public questions that belong to the realm of morals and religion. Entertaining this view of its duty, it would express at this time its deep disapproval and condemnation of the subserviency of both our great political parties, to the constant encroachments of the Church of Rome ; and its approval of, and sympathy with, the movement which has been set on foot for the purpose of securing equal rights to all. Carried.

The Chairman of the business Committee then moved the following Resolution :

That the thanks of the Union be given to the Rev. Wm. Cuthbertson,. B.A., for his address from the Chair ; with the request that it be furnished for publication in the Year Book. Carried.

After prayer by the Rev. A. L. McFadyen, the Union ad- journed until 7.30 p.m. for the Public Closing Meeting.
