While the Presbyter- ian Church in Canada is grateful for the help received from the men who have come into the ministry from outside countries yet there are no men who understand our people ‘andcanministertotheirneedsec as our own Canadian young men. " The outlook for a larger number of young men bettering the minis- try is bright with hope.

When the hour cf three o'clock arrived some time was spent in waiting upon God in prayer in be- half of the Economic Conference to be held in Ottawa. This prayer ser- vice was led by Rev. Geo. E. Ross, DD, and Rev. John Nichol, D. D.

.'.l‘he Home Mission report was pnaented by Rev. R. Moorhead lngate, Convener oi the Home Mis- sion Committee. Mr. legato told of the. work being carried on in the different fields and congregations under the care oi the Home Mission Committee.

When he had given his report Mr. Legato asked the Presbytery to relieve him of the convenorship oi this committee: alter considerable discussion over the matter the Pree- bytery very regretfully accepted Mir. Legateb resignation and sp- pointed Rev. G. Carlyle Webster to take Mr. Legate's place as conven- or oi the Home Mission committee. In order that Mr. Webster might accept of this position he resigned his oflice as convener of the Budget Committee, Rev. Chas. J. Bt. Clair Jeans was then appointed Convener of the Budget Committee in place of Mr. Webster resigned.

Rev. G. Carlyle Webster than pre- sented the report of the Budget Committee. r While the amounts thus far received from the various congregations are not so large as they should be, yet they are some- what in advance of what was paid in this time last year. _ .

Rev. A. B. Grant, D. D. was then introduced to the Presbytery and spoke at considerable length regard- ing the Forward Financial move- ment recently inaugurated in the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Dr. Grant spoke very enthusiasti- cally qf the splendid response being

' made to the appeal for money for

the‘ work of the Church and espec- ially by the men of wealth. In mak- ing out the allocations for this Forward movement the sum of $2,895.00 was allocated to the Pres- bytery oi Prince Edward Island. All in the money that has. thus far been raised for the One Step Por- ward movement will be counted as part oi this allocation. A number of the congregations will thus already have raised the amount required of them.

The prospects for securing sulflc- ient funds to cam on all of the work of the diflerent departments of the Church are bright. The Presbytery then unanimously adopt- ed the following resolutions:

1. That Presbytery having heard an outline of the plan as presented by the Secretary oi the General Board of Missions for the raising of a sum of $600,000.00 for the liqui- dating oi the present Budget De- ficit and for the Church Extension Fund approve of the some.

2. That Presbytery adopt the ap-

portionment assigned to the Presby- tery oi Prince Edward Island in the terms set forth.

3. That Presbytery appoint the Budget committee and the Home Mission committee oiPresbytery as the committee to follow up this mat- ter and make any adjustments that may seem best to them.

The thanks of the Presbytery was extended by the Moderator Rev. Pied Williamson to Rev. A. B. Grant, DD, for his inspiring ad- dress and by Dr. Grant‘ suitably acknowledged.
