The Canada Temperance Act.

AN application was made to Mr. Justice Hensley on Saturday last by counsel dn be- half of Mr. John Joy fora writ prohibiting the Stipendiary Magistrate from further proceeding in a case pending before him, under thé law respecting the traffic in in- toxicating liquors, in which David M. Hen- dersun is the prosecutor, and John Joy 1s the defendant. The substantial ground of the application was the contention that by the Revised Statutes of Canada which came into operation on the first day of March last, ‘* The Canada Temperance Act, 1878” was repealed, and although its provisions are re-enacted by the now existing Act, Chapter 106 of the Revised Statutes on the same subject, yet that the latter contains no e press provision declaring that former elections held ini any city or other district for the adoption uf the Canada Temperance Act, shall apply and be in force in support of the present Act, that consequently a new electioa is now required under the provis- ions of the new Act, before it can operate or the old Act, be enforced, and that there- fore the second part of the Canada Temper- ance Act is no longer in force in Charlotte- After hearing counsel in the matter and taking into consideration the whole purview and_ contents of the Revised Statutes, Mr. Justice Hensley on Monday last gave judgement that there was in his no sufficient ground for the con-

town.

On the 11th inst. the general Assembly heard, read and returned thanks, with ac ceptance, invitations from Lieut.-Gevernors Aikens and Dewdney to enjoy the hospi- talities in the Government House and to visit the reserves under the latter’s juris- diction; from the authorities of Manitoba College, to a reception; from friends who arranged an excursion to Kildonan; from the proprietors of St. Andrew’s Hall to the

use of their building, and from the His- torical and Scientitic Society, to the free use of their reading room,

The committee appointed to draft ad-

dresses to the Queen and Governor-Gen- eral is composed of Rev. D. M. Gordon, Dr. Grant, R. MeF. McLeod, Mr. Taylor and L. R. J. K. McDonald. Two other committees, with Drs. Thompson and Mc- Laren as conveners respectively, were ap- pointed to look after matters connected with the retirement and reception of mimi- sters. ‘e

Eleven ministers are asking leave to. re- tire from active duty from age or infirmity.

Applications were received for leave to be received into the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the following ministers from other churches: Newfoundland, for Rev. F. C. Simpson, of the Methodist Church, New- foundland;” Halifax, for W. Begg, Church of Scotland; Prince Edward Island, for John Hutchison, Church of Scotland, and D. L. McLeod, of the Presbyterian Church of the United States; Miramichi, for Isaac Baird, from the American Presbyterian Church; Quebec, for John McLeod, of the United States; Lindsay, for John Gillies aud the congregation of Eldvie; Orange- ville, for W. E. Dangen; Sarnia, for North Smith, of the Canada Methodist Church; Huron, for Dr. McLeod, from New Zea- land; Winnipeg, for W. H. Spence, from the Methodist Church; Owen Sound, for R. H. Craig, a Congregationalist and Bap- tist; Toronto, for Mr. Rogerson, from the Church of Scotland, and Columbia, for Mr. Percival, from the Methodist Church,

CHURCH UNION,

A communication was received from, the House of Bishops and from the Lower House of the Church of England in Canada, asking for a committee from the Supreme Court of the Presbyterian Church to confer with a similar committee from the Anglican church, with a view to the union of these sister denominations. The assembly ex- pressed its satisfaction with the proposal, hoped wisdom would guide all the nego- tiations, amd entrusted the matter to the following committee, with instructions to report to the next assembly: Dr, Burnes, Moderator ; Drs. Pollock, Sadwich, Mac- Vicar, Moore, Grant, Smith, McLaren, Reid, Caven, Proudfoot, Lang, Cochrane, King, D. M. Gordon, Messrs. L. W. John- stone, Blair, Hon. D. Fraser, Stirling, Hay, Morris, McMurrich, Clark, MacLennan, Q. C., Rutherford, Fraser, and Justice Taylor.

A discussion, with no fruitful results as far as the present is concerned, was en- gaged in with respect to psalmody and hymns,

FRENCH EVANGELIZATION.

The evening sederunt was devoted to French evangelization. The report was presented by Rev. Dr. MacVicar. It is thus summarized:

“The board call ‘special attention ‘to the fact that recent and current events show the urgent necessity of prosecuting the work. of ‘rench evangelization on a mugh larger scale, ud with much greater faith and courage than f Romanism is undeniably strength- becoming

heretofore. ening itself in many ways, and alarmingly aggressive on this continent. Its wealth and various sources of revenue are being greatly augmented, and its organization perfected by the appointment of bishops, archbishops and cardinals to direct.the efforts of a vast army of priests, nuns and friars, so that its ecclesiastical and political pow®s,can scarcely be estimated. The restoration, bythe reigning Pontiff, of the Society of Jesus to its original status in the Church,and its incorpor- ation for religious and educational purposes by the Legislature ot Quebec, are steps full of peril to the morality and the civil and _ reli- gious liberties of the Dominion.” Colpor- teurs during the year distributed 1715 copies of Scripture, 17,160 French tracts and pamph- lets, and visited 38,167 houses. Adding to this, the number distributed by the other missionaries of the board, the total distribu- tion for the year was 3,355 copies uf Scrip- tures and upwards of 26,400 pamphlets and tracts, being largely in excess of the distribu- tion of any preceding year. A gratifying feature of the circulation is the large number of copies sold, the receipts from sales by the Colporteurs amounting to nearly three-fold that of any former year. Besides the pro- vince of Quebec, four of the Colporteurs spent the whole of last summer in New Beunswick and Prince Edward Island, and two labored for the greater portion of the year in Eastera Ontario.

teferring to mission schools, the report says :—> :

‘This important department of our work shows a gratifying improvement from year to year. Four yearsago there were reported thirteen schools, with five hundred and thirty- five pupils. There has been an increase in the past year of four schools and one hundred and one pupils. Four of~ the schools are wholly supported by the people of the district. The board has recently been compelled for the present to decline applications from four other districts desiring teachers, because of its in- ability to meet the necessary expenditure con- nected therewith. Last year the sum of $3,262 was expended in the maintenance of the mission schools exclusive of those at Pointe aux Trembles, where at this latter in- stitntion there were over 300 applications for admission. Only 120 pupils, however, could be accommodated. At the instance of the Presbytery of Quebec the following resolution has been adopted by the board :

“ That an appeal be made for funds to enlarge the Point aux frembles school by adding a man-

moved for a rule nisi for a writ of habeas corpus and writ of certiorari to quash a con-

viction made by the Stipendiary Magistrate | for a breach of the Scott. |

On the Lith inst. the Assembly spent the forenoon with the work of the cclleges. Halifax, Morrin, Montreal, Queens, Knox and Manitoba Colleges presented their re- ports through Dr. Pollock, Rev. Mr. Lovet, Prof. Scrimger, Dr. Caven and Dr. King respectively. The educational and spirit- ual work of the colleges were . commented upon, and the increased attendance and general welfare noted.

The assembly adjourned at noon to take a half holiday in an excursion to Kildonan and to spend the evening at a reception given by the authorities of Manitoba Col- lege.
