and give an impetus to the oporations of

the answers given by Dr._ Dickson to the

MB stump ()V HIERAIN,
The Synod of Huron held its annual
eassion last %veek at the Chapter Douse,
London, Bishop Baldwin presiding, near-
ly 300 delegates answering to their
names. Canon Richardson and IV.
Swaisland were re elected clerical and
lay secretaries respectively. The bishop,
in the course of his opening address, gave
a comparative statement of receipts for
the past eight years. The figures for the
current year are $91,018.20, against $18,
0005 the previous year, nearly $0,000
more than in 1,85. There are 246
churches in the diocese and 13,603 aim-
muniertats ; in 1880 the number of cone-
munioants was 8,910. The population of
the diocese, &wording to the census, is
735,839, and the membership of the
Anglioau °hero% 311,910. The dioseesan
statistios (hewed& membership of 54,004,
end the bishop thought this dieerepancy
was a fit subject for investigation. He
said the diocese was not suffloiently
manned. It should shake off its sloth,
and instead of processions and parialtes
a -king for help, they should be owning
in to announce their independence.
They ',needed a new class of unmarried
men who were %villing to go aft deaoons et

dependent on the greet Ckod who knows
all our wants." The bishop spoke of the
