BY Dudley & Burns, 11 Colborne St. 1893.

JREFACE.

jfl^'f^'qp^^y^ia^J^fe^i-

\ 1^/E do not attempt any pleasantry on the fact of this -*- -*- being the twenty-first volume of the Year Book, as if, forsooth, it were of age and maturity — for there is always something more to attain. But, thankful to the Giver of all good for mercies in the past, we invite a careful perusal of our pages, and an ever-deepening interest in the work of the churches, the College, and all the associated chari- ties. The Christian Endeavor comes in this year for the first time in our statistics. We asked, last year, for the names of Church Secretaries : we have only obtained a few of them ; but we have this year the names (with a few exceptions) of the S. S. Superintendents. This is an advance ; but we still want the other.

The paper, type, and general " make up " of the book will com- mend themselves to the churches. The engravings are improving and will become, year by year, an attractive department of the bookj We leave this issue to the favorable attention of all the Congrega- tional churches of the Dominion.

THOMAS O'BRIEN, MONTREAL.

On 2iid July, 1892, the " Minne- wa-wa," a large canoe in imitation of the "war-canoes" of the Red Indians, with seventeen young men on board, paddled out from Point St. Charles, Montreal, on a pleasure cruise of a few hours about the great St. Lawrence river. Li a very swift part of the river, near St. Lambert, the canoe overturned, and six young men, including the "Cap- tain," Thos. O'Brien, were drowned. The following sketch of this prom- ising young soldier of the Cross, is by his pastor, the Rev. Thos. Hall, Montreal.

"Tom O'Brien," as all who knew him used to familiarly address him, was born on the 21st November, 1867, in Canada, and was of Irish descent, which he proudly acknowledged the Sunday before he met his death. He was the youngest of the family, and received an ordinary education, which he improved at every opportunity. Being saving with his money, he purchased books, of which he was a lover, and of which he used to speak with pride. His fondness for home and love for his mother was ever shown among his friends. In May, 1887, when Mr. Moody was holding revival services in Montreal, he became impressed with a desire to do some Christian work, and joined the T. M. C. A. as an active member, getting many of his companions to do likewise at the same time. He went in heartily for the work, which he continued to do faithfully to the end, attending the Workers' Training Classes, conducted by Mr. W, J. Orr. He seemed to grpw from the beginning ; and the hearts of his friends rejoiced in seeing a character developing so manly and Christ-like, always unselfish and sympathetic, and ever ready to do something for others at his own inconvenience. When the Association moved to their new premises on Dominion Square, he attended the gymnastic classes, becoming an instructor and a leader of one of

them. In the athletic field he would often be found enjoying some game of honest sport — running, snow-shoeing, lacrosse, football or boating ; in fact, he was an all-round athlete. As a Canadian soldier he held the rank of sergeant of " C " company. Fifth Royal Scots, and also held a prominent position in Victoria Lodge, I. 0. 0. F. , Manchester Unity. Although brought up in the Methodist church, where he taught in the Sunday school, he left it, and became a charter member of Point St. Charles Congregational church, when it was organized in 1891, seeing an extended field for Christian work, into which he entered with all his heart and soul, first in the organization of the Cromwell Cadet Corps, with the writer, carrying on the work as their chief officer, and winning the love and confidence of the children, and bringing them to such a standard of excellence in their exercises as to astonish those who saw them. This was the work dearest to him. He was also Librarian of the Sunday school, and spent many a night, after a hard day's work, putting the books in order, and cataloguing them, in order that the children should have their immediate use, and doing the work with such patience that few knew the labor he had. He was a member of the Church Board, and latterly left his pew for a seat in the choir. In business he held a high position in the Audit Office of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and was on the eve of promotion at the time of his death, and he also enjoyed the truest respect of his superiors, as well as of his fellow-clerks. Wherever he was, and whatever time of day it was, he was the same. He was one of those men it was a pleasure to know and have as a friend. He believed his first duty was to his Maker, and afterward to man. I believe he only spoke once in public, and that was when he gave a short account of the work at the Children's Service last June, and then his words were few, but from the heart. It was a sad day when the news passed around the " Point" that the war canoe " Minnie-wa-wa " had been capsized, and that " Tom O'Brien," her captain, was lost, with five other young men like himself. It was truly a city of mourning on the day of the funeral, when about five thousand persons followed the remains of Tom and two of the victims of the accident. Touching was the sight of the boys and girls of the Cromwell Cadet Corps, sixty strong, marching to the resting-place of their chief and friend, where they tearfully took a last look at his remains in the open grave. Their tribute of flowers was in the shape of a heart, cross and crescent, bearing the letters " C. C. C," and the inscription, "A token of affection," and many a heart was touched at the memorial service, when the pastor took up the departed one's Bible, so carefully marked, and took for his text one of those marked verses (Isaiah xliii. 2, " When thou passeth through the waters," etc.) Happy is he who dies with such a promise on his heart !

REV. ROBERT BROWN.

Robert Brown was born in the township of Oaledon, Ont., about forty miles from the City of Toronto, January 25th, 1838. His parents were John at id Jean (McDonald) Browm, his father being a descendant of the old Scottish Covenanter, " John Brown Priest Hill."

Robert Brown was trained up into a Christian life, and was unable to give any date when conversion took place. With his twin brother, John, he was educated in the Normal School, and later in the Congregational College at Toronto. Was pastor at Garafraxa, Ont., twelve years, from 18G1. He was ordained in 1862. Became pastor at Lanark, near Ottaw^a, where he con-

tinued ten years. During this pastorate his ministrations were blessed with a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the revival extending into all that region, and many were added to the church.

Following this he spent six years in Manitoba as a pioneer missionary. The great exposure necessary to work in that climate, brought on the disease which tinallj^ terminated his life. Rest for two years gave him strength sufficient, however, so that on removing to Puget Sound, he was able to take up the work of the ministry again ; and for four years he was the devoted home missionary pastor of the churches of Roy and Hillhurst, Wash- ington. Thus he completed thirty-one years of service, all of which, with the exception of two years for rest, was given to the active work of the ministry.

In 1863 he married Miss Anna Hazelden Unsworth, who survives him. He leaves five sons and two daughters. The two oldest sons are preparing for the ministry, one at Montreal and the other at Oberlin. He died January 10th, 1893, at Tacoma, Washington, of consumption, and was buried at Roy, by the side of his brother John. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Samuel Greene, of Seattle, State Superintendent, Congre- gational S. S. and Publishing Society. A large congregation gathered from the three communities, and the two churches to whom he gave four devoted years of earnest, faithful labor. He was full of faith and love. A good preacher, and a man of great influence among the people. The memories of his sweet confid- ing life will linger in our thoughts until we meet him on the other shore. Samuel Greene.

The following sketch is by Rev. John I. Hindley, Ph.D., of Granby, Que., who was an early and intimate friend of the twin brothers Brown and of their family. Dr. Hmdley writes as follows :

Some time ago a notice of the death of Kev. J ohn Brown appeared in the " C. I.", and in the last number a reference to the death of Rev. Robert Brown. My intimate knowledge and high estimation of these two brethren prompts me to send you the following lines. Revs. John and Robert Brown were born in Caledon in January, 1833. They were the eldest and the twin sons of Mr. John Brown who, together with his truly noble wife, was among the pioneers of that township. Their home was not only the birthplace of two ministers, but a verit- able ministers' home. The student or minister ever found a hearty welcome, and many a solitary waif was there housed, clothed and fed ; some of them for years finding a home with Mr. and Mrs. John Brown. "They never turn anyone away," was the grateful utterance of many of these. Besides rearing a family of ten of their own they also reared many others, and will he long remembered as the most large-hearted and whole-souled couple of Caledon. Their children all possessed that nobility of character of which they might justly be proud ; seven of whom now survive them.

54 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.

Many a night we have lodged with the worthy couple during our career as student. Revs. John and Robert worked on the farm until the age of twenty- one ; then, with a laudable ambition, they started out in the world (their only capital, brain and muscle), to obtain an education and fit themselves for the ministry. With indomitable perseverance they prosecuted their studies, until they held Jirst-class certificates from the Normal School in Toronto. By teaching they earned sufficient to enable them to enter the Congregational College, then located in Toronto.

During much of their college course they paid their own way, being i^nwilling to burden the institution with their education. Upon graduation, John received and accepted a unanimous call to Speedside, and Robert settled in Garafraxa. They subsequently occupied other pulpits in Ontario, and then removed to tlie new Province of Manitoba. Here, after laboring in the Congregational body for some time, they united with the Presbyterians; but upon removing to the Pacific slope they resumed work in connection with the Congregationalists, in which community they remained until they were called away.

Rev. John was our pastor for some time, and we found him invariably kind, loving, iipright, and deeply consecrated to his work. He was much beloved in Speedside. We can speak equally well of Rev. Robert, as we were very intimate. The longer we knew these brethren the more we loved them. They possessed good talents for poetry and elocution ; their generous natures won them many friends. Never greedy of " filthy lucre," they began their ministiy on salaries just three-ffths of what they had realized in teaching. Rev. John died in May, 1892, and Rev. Robert in January, 189.3, on the Pacific slope. Working side by side nearly all their lives, they sleep together at Roy, some miles from Tacoma, where Rev. Robert spent the last years of his ministry. The latter died at his brother-in-law's. Rev. John Tait. His son John is now a student in our college. May the God of all comfort be the "very present help" to all the mourning friends !

OBITUARY.

MISS MINNIE CLARKE, MISSIONARY TO AFRICA.

Miss Minnehaha A. Clarke, was the daughter of Rev. W. F. Clarke, of Guelph, and was born there in 1864. Early brought to the Saviour, she was active in all good work, devoting herself to Sunday school and other Christian work, with much zeal and success. When she offered herself for missionary work in West Central Africa, and was accepted by the " American Board " Boston, the Congregational Woman's Board of Canada, adopted her as their Missionary, and assumed her support. She sailed in the spring of 1890. She died on 18th March, 1893. The news reached Canada two months afterward, causing the

56 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.

profoundest sorrow in every circle connected with the Con- gregational churches. Mr. Clarke, at the Congregational Union in June, tenderly referred to his bereavement, and to the very large number of letters of condolence and sympathy received from all quarters by his family and himself. Truly she " being dead, yet speaketh." The following extract is from the July [1893] number of " The Missionary Herald," the organ of th^ American Board, Boston :

MISS MINNEHAHA A. CLARKE, OF WEST AFRICA.

The West Central African Mission has been deeply afflicted in the death of Miss Minnehaha A. Clarke, who fell asleep in Christ at Chisanjba, Bihe, on the eighteenth of March. Some months previous, Miss Clarke had an attack of bilious malarial fever, which reduced her strength and which led the members of the mission strongly to advise her not to return to Chisamba, where she had labored so earnestly and successfully. The particular location at this station was deemed unfavorable to one having her predisposition to the fever, but her deep love tor the pupils whom she had begun to train led her to think the fears of her associates needless, and to resolve that she would make another experiment before leaving Chisamba. Alas ! that experiment proved fatal. She was the daughter of Rev. William F. Clarke and Mary Ann Clarke, of Guelpli, Ontario, at which city she was born, January 31, 1864. Just three years ago she offered herself to the American Board as a missionary, replying in answer to the question as to " What led you to decide to go to the heathen ?" — " The reading of missionary literature, and an ever-deepening sense of duty." This sense of duty seemed to be all-controlling, but there was nothing sombre about it. Her face and her voice alike bore witness to her cheerful sjiirit, and it was with a bound of love and zeal that she undertook the work to which her conscience led her. She greatly endeared herself t© her missionary associates and to the native pupils in the mission, whom she loved with an intensity of devotion which cost her her life.

Her last sickness was very brief, and most of the time her mind wandered. Mr. Read, in Meriting of her last days, says : " Her work was uppermost in her mind during her sickness, and her Master's name often broke from her lips in prayer or simple ejaculation." Her term of service was very brief, less than three years, but she won to herself the deep affection of many of the people, who gave to her every token of love and respect and who at the funeral services manifested their deep feeling. One of the lads who had been under Miss Clarke's care, and Who two years ago was a wild heathen, wrote the following touching letter to Mrs. Stover, of Bailundu, telling her the sad news : —

" Kumba says. Nana Stover, Ondona Clarke is dead. She died on Saturday; she began to be ill on the fifth day (Thursday). As for me, I have not slept for three nights. My heart aches so because the Ondona is dead. Jesus has taken her to his own home, indeed, but since we can never see her more my heart is broken. The Ondona Clarke is dead. If we accept Jesus, we shall meet the Ondona again."

We believe there will be many from Africa who through the life and death of this young and faithful missionary will be brought to meet her in the presence of the Master whom she loved and in whose service she died.

UNION MEETING. 57

THE UNION OF 1893.

At Montreal, in 1892, Rev. E. M. Hill, as chairman of the Business Committee, reported a resolution, enthusiastically carried, " That so far as we are concerned, London shall have the best meeting the Union has ever held": and in 1893, he, as chairman of the Union, well-assisted by the Union at large, did much to carry out so amiable and promising a resolution.

LONDON

was the first example of a place growing into importance inland from the great lakes and the course of navigation. And as for many years it was on the verge of a great wooded country on the north, it got to be called in the general distribution of pet names,

"THE FOREST CITY."

Here in 1837 a Congregational church was formed, which, guided by a succession of pastors more or less efficient and suc- cessful, has continued to this day, doing good work for Christ, and exerting a good influence around it. The present pastor is Rev. Robert Aylward, who has served the church for two years ; having been first, after his emigration from England, pastor at Cobourg for four years. Mr. Aylward seems to be extremely popular among all the churches in London. It is very pleasant that such should be the case,

THE SECOND CHURCH

is at present under the pastoral care of Rev. William H. A. Claris, late .of Frome. It was formed two or three years ago, and under prudent management has a good future before it.

THE CITY

is one of those fairy spots that strike the stranger with the feel- ing that there can be neither want nor unhappiness in such a favored spot. Of course wherever there is sin there is evil, and wherever humanity is there are humanity's woes ; but perhaps nowhere in the world do the blessings of grace, the beauties of

58 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.

nature, and the refinements and blessings of civilization, more beautifully and hopefully blend than in the Canadian city of London. On the street on which the First church is situated (Dundas Street), and several parallel streets, the dwellings are set back twenty or thirty feet from the street line, with green unenclosed lawns in front, and the sidewalk next the roadway skirted and shaded with a double line of the Canadian maple. It is like a lovely vista of the " country," as you look down any of these carefully-watered streets, far to the eastward.

THE UNION MEETING

was a good one, a fully-average and very representative attend- ance. The Report of the Committee of the Union spoke of the last meeting in London, just ten years ago ; and despite all the " hard times " and lack of increase in our general population, the membership of the churches had gone up from 5,000 to 9,000, and other church interests in proportion.

THE CHAIRMAN-ELECT.

Rev. Prof. Warriner was elected chairman for 1894. The election gave general satisfaction. Mr. Warrinei- has served the Union well, especially (for seven years) in the laborious office of Statistical Secretary, and for four years thereafter in the respon- sible post of Secretary of the Union.

SEVERAL NEW MEMBERS

were admitted, more than the usual average, from the fact that several of the churches had settled new pastors lately from Britain. Six new names were added. And to the older mem- bers of the Union the fact begins to be very apparent, that instead of the " fathers," shall be the " children " ; for many family names so familiar in the roll of delegates — Barber, Climie, Christie, Gerrie, Robertson, etc. — are now represented by a younger generation, no less aggressive and promising than the first.

OUR NEW EVANGELIST,

the Rev. Arthur W. Main, gave an admirable report of his work, which indeed was reinforced on every side by the testimony of the pastors in whose churches he had labored. It is to be hoped that Mr. Main's example may induce many pastors and members of churches to do more of this outside work themselves.

UNION MEETING. 59

HOME MISSIONS.

The only thing of importance connected with the Home Mission work was the withdrawal from the Dominion of the operations of the Colonial Missionary Society of England. Though how a " Colonial " Missionary Society that gives the "go-by " to the largest and most important colony Great Britain has, will be able hereafter to justify its existence before the British churches, is a problem not for us, but for itself to explain. We can only regret the very deliberate, but very palpable, mis- take they are making.

A NEW MISSIONARY SUPERINTENDENT

was recommended to the Executive of the Home Missionary Society. The office has been vacant for thres years. Though the treasury can as ill bear the strain of a Superintendent's salary as before, it has been felt on many accounts desirable that such an officer should be commissioned. The chairman of the Union was especially vigorous in urging this step, drawing his auguries of success from the excellent utfects of such Super- intendencies in the United States.

FROM THE FOREIGN FIELD

came a note of woe, in the recent arrival of the news of Miss Clarke's death on the West African field. But two more young women are on the way to take up the work 1 As at Flodden Field,—

Each stepping where his comrade stood, The instant that he fell !

God grant them years of faithful service, and return and rest in their own land. Mr. Currie, the head of the mission, whose presence was such an inspiration to the Union meetings last year, was now on his way back to Africa.

THE TEA

on Thursday evening, in the school-room, was a very pleasant affair. The pastor of the church always presides on such occa- sions. Mr. Aylward performed his duties very agreeably. Sev- eral ministers of the city — of five denominations in all — made short speeches. The ladies of the two Congregational churches were the purveyors and attendants. It was an excellent oppor- tunity for " getting acquainted " ; and with a rush of committee work filling in every odd hour, such occasions come in well.

60 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.

FOR THE UNION SABBATH,

our ministers were in large demand. Almost every pulpit in the city was filled with a Congregationalist for the day. Even if people evade the trouble of themselves assisting in church self-government, they like to hear one of these sturdy sons of liberty in their pulpits.

CFURCH-UNION.

But the two forenoons' debate on Church-Union was the great feature of the Union meetings of 1893. The Rev. Charles Duff, of Parkdale, Toronto, made the motion favoring negotia- tions with the Presbyterians. Not many of the churches had delivered themselves on the question ; some delegates, however, had come instructed to oppose the motion. Perhaps the attitude of mind most prevalent among the ministers was that announced by Rev. John Wood, of Ottawa : " Brethren," said he, " my heart goes in the direction of this movement, but my judgment does not go in that direction ! " Much the same essential difficulty exists, as now exists in Scotland in the way of the union of the three Presbyterian bodies. "Brethren," the others say to the Scottish Kirk, " as soon as you get rid of the entanglement of State-connection — as soon as you are disestablished, we will be entirely and cheerfully ready to negotiate with you for union ! " And so our people say, " Brethren, as soon as you get rid of your obsolete Creeds, Confessions and Directories — things to which you are very far from rendei'ing a full, scrupulous and faithful obedience — we shall be ready to talk union with you ! But till you put these things out of your own path, you must not lay them in our path. When you come to the New Testament, we will meet you there ; we bring nothing else forward ! " No fewer than thirty-two members and delegates spoke to the ques- tion. The result was the re-appointment of a Committee, similar to that appointed in 1888, " to confer with committees appointed hy any Christian bodies" on the subject of Church-union. Of course. Christians can never come together, unless they talk over the matter ; and as Congregationalists have always disclaimed being schismatics or sectaries, and claimed only to be believers worshipping together on New Testament principles — they have always been ready to harmonize with other believers.

The place of next meeting was not decided upon, probably Toronto. The Committee will make the announcement in due time.

STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE AND CONFESSION OF

FAITH.

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

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT.

I. 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.

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

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT. 65

IIT. "We believe that man was made in the image of God, that he might know, love and obey God, and enjoy Him for ever ; that our first parents by disobedience fell under 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 fulness of time 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 constitvite 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 declares the righteousness of God, and is the sole and sufficient ground of forgiveness and reconciliation with Him.

VII. We believe that Jesus Christ, after He had risen from ths dead, ascended into heaven, where, as the one Mediator between God and man. He carries forward His work of saving men ; that 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 responsi- ble in faith and conduct ; and that to Him all have immediate access without 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 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.

66 CONGREGATIONAL UNION, ONT. AND QUE.

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 which 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.

XIT. 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 Saviour, Jesus Christ ; in the resurrection of the dead ; and in a final judg- ment, the issues of which are everlasting punishment and everlasting life.

The Union also submits, for the use of the churches in the admission 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 salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people. [Ps. cxvi. 1214.]

Whosoever, therefore, shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which 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.]

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ; and with the mouth confession is made unto 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 people, 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 your 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 system 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 believers, in humbly and heartily confessing your faith in the Gospel, saying :

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 ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty ; 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 resurrection 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 ckurch by letter. To them the minister should say] :

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

[The members of the church present should rise] :

RESOLUTIONS IN REFERENCE TO COUNCILS. 67

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 everlast- ing covenant, 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 for ever 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 re-affirmed 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 the churches, the church over whom the pastor is to be placed, or of which the evangelist 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 evangelist, as the case may be, and the advice of the Council sought in relation thereto.

3. That a Council consists of the representatives of churches, not indi- viduals, 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 seek-

ng advice.

REPORT OF UNION COMMITTEE.

After a period of ten years the Union again gives greetings to the First Congregational Church of London. Those years have brought their changes to both city and church. The city, beautiful then, has become more beautiful, and we join with our friends here in their pleasure over the attractions of the Forest City. It is the same building in which we met before, but changed and changed for the better. Care and improvements have prevented all signs of decay and given to it the freshness of youth. The pastor of a decade of years ago, the Rev. H. D. Hunter, M.A., we miss, but are pleased to receive the very cordial welcome of his successor, the Rev. Robert Aylward, B.A.

72 CONGREGATIONAL UNION, ONT. AND QUE.

It is worthy, too, of notice, that instead of one Congregational church, two churches with their pastors welcome us at this annual gathering. Our prayer is that God may abundantly bless and prosper both churches and pas- tors in the work of His vineyard.

The past year has brought to us the bitter and the sweet, the clouds and the sunshine.

Death, though not entering our midst, has come so near that we have heard the sound of his footsteps, and felt the touch of this visitor. The Rev. A. Hastings Ross, D.D., Port Huron, Mich., a near and intimate neighbor, whose presence so delighted us at our last gathering in this city, and whose presence we hoped to again enjoy this year, has gone to his reward. The Rev. Robert Brown, a former member of this Union and well and favorably known to the older brethren present, laid down earth's toil in January last, and entered his rest. The Rev. H. A. Mclntyre, B.A., B.D., at one time a student in our colleges, and an earnest worker in several of our churches, resigned his charge in Grand Rapids, Mich., in July last, and came back to Canada to die in the home of his child- hood. In April last, while yet in the enjoyment of young manhood, he joyfully responded to the messenger who came to call him home. Then, just as the call to London was being heard, there came from Africa the sad, sad news of the death of Miss Minnie Clarke, daughter of the Rev. W. F. Clarke, of Guelph. May the Heavenly Father sustain and comfort our dear brother, his family, and the co-laborers of Miss Clarke in their sore bereavement, and breathe hope and courage upon us all, in this our common loss.

But all has not been clouds and gloom. Over and about us has been the bright, clear sunshine. Many of our churches have been cheered, and helped by the presence and labors of our evangelist, the Rev. A. W. Main. Neither has the good Master forgotten other churches not visited by our brother, but has sent to them the rich blessings of His spirit. We rejoice that our missionary, the Rev. W. T. Currie, B.A., stronger in body and riper in experience, is now able to begin the journey to the scene of his labors, and that there have gone with him. Miss Melville of Toronto, and Miss Johnson of Brandon, two children of our churches, whom we are pleased to know the Woman's Board have decided to adopt. May He, who has con- trol of the winds and the waves, carry them in safety to their journey's end and give to them many years of usefulness in His own blessed service.

We are glad that so many of our vacant churches have been well and efficiently filled, and believe that from the new friends we will have helpful additions to our Union. In extending our hand to new friends, we do not forget to welcome back our old ones. It is a pleasure to have come among us again, the Rev. J. B. Silcox, who it will be remembered preached, by appointment of the Union, the Sunday morning sermon in this church ten years ago. We trust that he may long be led to labor in this his native land where his past services are so gratefully remembered.

The year is also memorable in our denominational history, as the three hundredth anniversary of the time, when three noble men paid the penalty of holding our views with their lives, and we hope that our churches either have commemorated the event or will not let the year go by without some recognition of it.

As to the present meetings, questions of interest and profit wiU be discussed.

. MINUTES. 73

The notice of motion, given by the Rev. E. M. Hill, M.A., asking for the appyintment of a Standing Committee on the question of the Lord's Day Observance, will be dealt with. The Union, too, will be asked to declare itself on the opening of the World's Fair on Sunday.

The report of the Standing Committee on Temperance will be looked forward to in view of the meetings of the Royal Commission appointed by the Dominion Parliament, the discussions in the Ontario Legislature, on the question of Prohibition, and other matters that may have come before the notice of the Committee. The report from the delegation to the Dominion Alliance is also expected.

The other delegation and committees, namely, the delegation to the Tri- ennial Council, Minneapolis, and the Committees on Prison Reform, and Church Deeds are recommended for a hearing in the meetings of the Union.

By some oversight on the concluding day of the Union last year, the Committee on Credentials asked for, was overlooked. The present Union will be asked to make the appointment.

An Act for the better protection of children, introduced by the Hon. J. M. Gibson, and passed by the Ontario Legislature, deserves the favorable recognition of the LTnion.

On Friday evening the statistical reports will be given by the Rev. C. E. Bolton, who, on account of the illness of Rev. J. T. Daley, Secretary, has kindly undertaken the work. The Rev. J. R. Black will present the reports of Sunday Schools and Christian Endeavor Societies, and in accordance with a resolution of the Union, one session will be devoted to the discussion of these interests.

A notice of motion on Church Union has been received from the Rev. Chas. DuflF, M.A., and the Committee would recommend that it be consid- ered by the Union. The Committee further recommend that the request of the Rev. W. W. Smith, to present the claims of the denominational publica- tions, be granted.

We trust that the rich blessings of the Master may be with us in all our deliberations, and that the Spirit of God may guide us in our efforts for the extension of His kingdom.

Respectfully submitted,

J. P. Gekrie, Secretary.

That this Union regrets the frustration of the good intentions as to attendance cherished by its delegates to the National Council of the Congre- gational churches of the United States, is glad that one of the number sent a brief communication, and trusts that hereafter as in the past, we may be able to maintain intimate relations with our brethren across the lines.

That the matter be referred to the incoming committee, which shall communicate with the various Societies, and if any of these shall decide to accede to the above suggestion, to pro- pose the necessary changes in our Constitution, to carry it into eflfect, and to report at the next meeting of the Union.
