The Convenuen is aot so large as it was expected to be; and more onr town is deprived of the pleasureof entertaining a clerical guest. Of tiose of tue clergy aud laity who came ever in the steamship North- umberland yesterday afternoon with the Bishop, it may be said that they were as

to be present at the opening service in the evening.
‘The new St. Paul’s Church filed when the service began at seven o'clock, most o. the clergy occupy- ing seats in the chancel. The service was taken by the Rev. J. T. Bryan, tae lessons by the Venerable Archdeacon Westea- Jones and Canon Vroom respectively, and the prayers at the end by the Rey. James Simpson.
SHORT SUMMARY REPORT OF BISHOP NEY’S SERMON.
His Lordship the Bishop then delivered the opening sermon from the text St. Mark 16th chapter and last verse: “And they went forth and preached everywhere, tbe Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following.” He first spoke of the quiet aud un stentatious be- ginning of the Apostles’ preaching and work to which Christendom isdae. Thea he referred to the condition of the world when the preaching and work was begun. It has been said that there is a germ of good in all things; but, from the heathen religion as they existed when the great head of Christendom lived in the world the germ of good had utterly gone. The Jews religious too had come to be @ mere formality—a thing of utter pettiness. Take away the good from the heat e. religions, take away the good from tue Jewish religion, take into consideration the natural depravity of maanlind, - and imagine the condition of the world. Vice was common virtue uncommon. Crueliy selfishness, impurity were rampant and no attempt was made at repressica.... Lhe idolatry of the people was abominable; aod, as St. Paul declared, it was a shame even to speak of the things | that were done in secret. Evil babits had become inveter-te from being passed on from generation to generation. Jesus said to his Aposties go forth and preacb; and they we::. There wae never was such an enterprise. These few poor menobediently preached against the aboanod ing evil of the peop.e amovg whom 1 1e7
was fairly half—past
coURT-
lived. Principalities and powers, thrones and dominions—the whole empire of evil—were arrayed against tbeee few
preachers of the Cross. They preached to a wicked world and tuey walked in right- eousness. They taught that such virtu
as kindness and puri y belonged to God, and that God would have them ’ pract sed. They taught the reconciliation of God ‘> man. ‘They targht that God so loved the world that he gave His only Son to die for raackind—to die such a death as that of the accursed cross. Then they held ip the example of Jesus. What was the effect? The etfect was differe: t from that prod aced by the moral poets and phbiloso- phers of which there were many; for these could not pointto a perfect example. It is to be no.cd that abst-act virtue aad mental appreci ion of good and evil are power- less » influence cooduct. Thething * at influences is the preac. ng of the truth so that you can, so i» speak, see virtue in act, so that you can comprehend with the beart as well as with ihe head; for it is with the | rt that man belieyeth into righ: ousness. The apostle could say “tor me to live is Christ;” and ofthe feeble men who first went forth to preach the Goepel of Christ it was said, in the words of the text, “the Lord was with them.” By their preaching, lives were, little by little, transformed, acd at last whole. empires were regenerated—boro over again—and became new crzatures. Their work ougit to have gone on, If it had gone on, who can estimate the blessed results! But disputes arose and divisions ensued, and succ: sors 0° the apostle forgo: that the lig] twas givea them to d ssemin-
ate. For centuries little missionary work was done. It was only about the first of the last century that
the Church of England awoke to her duty in this regard, and comparatively little bas yet been done. Sixty-nine out of every hundred people in the wor'd are still in heathen darkness—not Christians in any sense. With all the churches and al] fhe two hundred and forty sects into which Christianity is divided, of ihe world’s population only 31 cut of a huadred are even nominally Christians. The miserable condition of miners groping in darkness and never permitted to see the blessed light of the aun is not tobe mentioned b:side the miserable condition of the henihen nations. Should we pot exert ourselves to relieve miners in. such a case? And if we have the helieving experience of the Gospel—the believing experience which makes a man say “Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel,” we must aid, to the full extent of our powers, in rescuing from the blackness of darkness those who
are sunk in heathendom.
After the sermon a reception was given
ee
the Bishop and Clergy in St. Paul’s schoolroom, the congreyations of both St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s uniting in the wel- come to their visitors.
rHIS FORENOON,
The Convention met at 10 o’cleek this | forenoon. The B p. presiding, delivered a si the meeting and rules by which it would
be governed, te introduced the Rev. Canon Vroom, B. D., ef King’s College, who read
a sch ly paper on
APOSTOLIC MISSIONS AND THEIR METHODS. The starting point ¢ Christia ioas
was, Canon Vroom said, the command-
ment ofthe risen Lord, “ Go ye inte all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the ‘name of the Father and of the Son andof the Holy Ghost, LE ad Livy tiie u ' 7% i . via

tamia and Persia andin Lower Feypt. Such a large measure of success, obtained iu so shortatime, by a small
body of missionaries,with neither political
influence, nor great wealth, nor dialectical
skill, nor a doctrine to suit. the natural inclinations of men, was truly marvellous, How did the Apostles and their contempo
raries meet the great practical diffizulties
which lay before them~difliculties many of them similar to those with which our owe missiouaries have to contend to-day? First, as to ways and means. We must
pot assume that there was any miraculous provision for their sustentation. St. Paul worked with his trade, so that he was burdensome to none. But he certainly leads us to infer that this was not the cus- tom of the clergy of his time, for he de— clares that the laborer was worthy of his hire and it wa+ meet that they whe preach bv the Gospel should live by the Gospel. When the seventy went about in Judea amongst their own people, they may have found ready hospitality. But strangers in heathen lands could no more avoid the expense of board aod lodging in the Apostle’s days than travellers could in modera times. But so g-eat was the out- bursc of charity amongst the early converts at Jerusalem, that they sold their pos- sessions aud goods and applied the proceeds to the church’s purposes. This does not seem to have beeov in obedience to any Apostolic precept and its wisdom is open toquestion. Not long after, the early Curistians learned to think of themselves as stewards, nut as possessors, and the Apostles were enabled to set out On their missionary journeys aud to maintain them- selves during the time which must have elapsed before thé Churches which they founded were self-sustaining. Iv is evident that these Churches not only soun became
self-sustaining but able and willing’ to
contribute to the relief of others, laying by in store as God prospered them, that tbey might be able to distribute to the neces- sities of the Saints. Two centuries lat’, in St. Cyprian’s daye, there seems to have been a system established by which the offerings of the faithfu! were divided into three portions: one for the main‘ -pan e of the Church, one for the poor, and one for the Bishop for missionary purposes. The liberaiity of ite members was cegtain- ly aconspicuous mark of the Apostolic Church and a noteworthy example to all Churebes in this respect. Atany rate, greater departure from Apostolic methods than many of our modera ways of raising money for Church purposes, according to which, instead of giving freely of their substance for Christ’s\jsake and the Gospels, they are provided with some sensuous enjoyment by way of returs, can hardly be imagined,
Canon Vroom then pointed out that the missionaries of the Apostolic age were never sent out singly or allowed to take up missionary work single handed. Even after churclits were established a clergy- man was not left alone and unai ed to carry on the work. The mo ‘ra custom of a single priest, or in some cases only & ‘aacon, left to minister single handed to a large district and peraaps not seeing the face of another clergyman for many weeks ata time is greatly at varance with Apostolic and primitive practice, and it would be difficult to. prove that results in any way justify such a departure from the methods of the early Church.
The first and chief missionary agency was preaching. Preaching was, is, and mustever be, one of the principal offices of the ministry. A@™* what was the method of the Aposil®’s preaching ? There is a sentence in the recently issued encyclical of, the Lambeth Conference referring to mission work amongst Moban.- edans which expresses ezcellently the Apostolic principle of working : “What is good in their creed must be acknowledged to the full and used as a foundation on which to baild the structure of Christian truth.” Of this method there is an in- stance ia the preaching of St. Paul to tue men of Athers. The essential and or ganic uvity of all christians was not over- looked by -the Apostles. A promin- ent place in Apostolic teaching was given to the ica of the Kirgdom of God; and:the truth of the ‘rganic and corporete unity of those who are bap- tized into Christ was repe. edly enforced by St. Paul and others. What was the goveroment of the Apos c Church? There were three d'stinct ranks of minis- ters,—apostles, elders and deacons. As Bishop Lightfoot says, ‘“ The three-fold m'nistry can b2 traced to Apostolic direc- tion.” It is to be notedas, part of the Apostolic method that the church was always presented in its fullness. The Apestolic oversight of the church was what might be called a missionary episco~ pate without prescribed diocesan limits,
