That in the last five years 39 ministers for fin- ancial reasons wer compelled to leave the ministry and 2 students gave up the work of preparation for the minis- try or a total loss df 65 men in 5 years. If we add to these the men who have fallen by the way, it will be seen that our colleges are not graduating enough men to keep the ranks full to say noth- ing of adequately supplying the increas- ing demand for mento occupy our new fields. Hence the church is not re- ceiving a fair return for the amount of money thus expended. This is appar- ent when we note that last year Mon- treal graduated 8 men, Queen's, 3 and Knox, 17. It was recommended: lst— That the representatives of the Pres- bytery at next Assembly support the policy of the H. M. C; in the matter of guaranteeing the salarios of all home missionaries. 2nd— That this Presby- tery continue to advocate in every wise and reasonable way the paying of an adequate salary 1`o every minister and missionary in the service of the church. 3rd That an honest effort be made by every minister in this Presby- tery to reach the heart of the situation in his own congregdtion. Mr. McEachern i reported on social service and evanglism, urging more interest in this mit important work. Mr. Wishart reported for the S. S. Committee, showing that the Elders do not take the part in S. S that they should. It was agreed that more at- tention be given to teachers training in our Sunday Schools. That ministers and elders take as much interest as possible in S. S. and Bible class work. That Sunday Schools be urged to ob- serve Children's Day as a stimulus to Sunday School work.
