Presbyterian Assembly_
The eyes of Canadian Presbyterians
are now centred on. Montreal, where the
supreme court of that church inaugurated
its 24th annual Assembly on Wednesday
evening, 8th inst, the principal feature of
which was the sessional sermon preached
by the retiring moderator, Dr. Moore,
His chief utterances were in reference to
prohibition, He blamed the apathy of
the churches, and said they should pre.
sent an unbroken fronb to the lipuor
traffic.
After the sermon an open vote was
taken for the high position of moderator,
the candidates being Rev. Dr. Bryne, of
Winnipeg, and Rev. Dr. Torrance, of
Guelph, The vote resulted in the choice
of Rev. Dr. Torrance, who has been a
minister of the Presbyterian Ohurob for
52 years.
Over 500 delegates are in attendance,
representing every district of the Domin-
ion between Cape Breton and Victoria
and some 1,200 churches.
Apart from routine work and adoption
of reports, three all-important questions
are to be discussed -home missions, for-
eign missions and French evangelization.
The Presbyterian Church in Canada
spends 830,000 a Year on mission work in
the Province of Quebec. Last year there
wore in this work 28 pastors and ordained
missionaries, 17 evangelists, colporteure
and students, and 20 teachers, 37 mission
fields and 93 mission stations occupied,
with a Sabbath attendance of 2,415 ; 928
families under the ooze of the committee,
with 1,079 church members and 990
pupils attending Sabbath schools and
Bible classes, During the year 153 mem
bene were added to the church. Of the
total amount contributed to the work the
converts provided 86,000.
The 'Presbyterian General Assembly
got down to business on Thursday morn-
ing, the new Moderator, Rev. Dr. Tor.
ranee, presiding. The business done con-
sisted of the appointment of a number of
committees and the arranging of the pro-
gram for the remainder of the week. The
Assembly agreed to the organization of s
new Presbytery, Parry Sound and Nipis•
sing diotriot to be taken out of the pies -
eat Presbytery of Barrie.
At Friday morning's sitting it Wae de.
ended to hold no sitting op Saturday, in
view of the large amount of work for the
committees. Additional papers bearing
OU bhe appeal ease from Toronto, in
whiah that Presbytery and the. Dunn
Avenue Ohurbh and the Cowan Avenue
Church are interested parties, were read
and banded over for special examination
to the Judicial Committee to report their
finding to a later sederunt of the court,
At the afternoon session a satisfactory
report of the work of Manitoba College
was presented, and a motion of Rev. Dr.
Bryce, of Winnipeg, Was adopted. A
big disoussion took plane on an overture
presented to the Assembly by the Pres-
bytery of Guelph, asking the Assembly
to provide for the better training of the
theologioal students by establishing a
board of examiners. The proposal was
strongly opposed by the principals of the
ohureh universities, inoluding Prinoipal
MoVioar, of Montreal ; Principal Grant,
of Kingston ; and Principal Forest, of
Dalhousie, Halifax. The matter was
finally referred to a committee
bo report to the Assembly. Al
the night session, the Foreign Mi4sion
Committees presented satisfactory re-
ports from the missions in the New
Heleridea, Trinidad, Corea, japan, China,
Central India, the Indian miesions in
Manitoba and the Northwest Territories,
and the Chinese mission iu British Col.
umbia. The total receipts in the eastern
eeotion were 827,443.82, ae against 928,-
008.70 the previous year, and the total
expenditure $27,750.88, as against $27,.
546.19. The debt has increased from
$4.228.10 in 1897 to 94,541,11 in 1898.
The receipts for Corea were $5,105,40.
There has not been any expenditure on
this a000unb, but all on hand will be re.
quirod to start the work in the course of
the coming Summer. The botml receipts
in the Western section were $104,094.19.
According to the Soauaial statement it is
seen that the deficit of 89,685,05, with
Which the year began, boa been entirely
removed, and a balance running to time
credit of the fund of 8497.40. This gratf.
Eying result is owing, to some extent, to
the fact that while the receipts were
peaotioally those of a whole year, the
expenditure in some of the fields only
embraced It period of eleven menthe. The
full amount, however, will all bo required
before the orphan children gathered into
the Houma in connection with our mis-
sions aro nit to caro for themseivee. Ao•
cording to the estimates a considerably
increased revenue will be required for the
enerenb year, Which will aecosiitate in-
creased liberality upon the part of the
congregatione, Sabbath schools and Chris.
Oen Endeavor Sooieties of the church.
Addresses were delivered by the returned
missionaries -Revs. I.I. Russell and Mise
O'Hara, of India ; and Rev. Dr, MoGil.
