ABSTRACT OF CANCN BROCK S PAPER.

Thirty-four years before Augustine be-

gan his work in Canterbury, that ia, in A. D., £63, St. Columva, who belonged to the church of St. Patrick, founded mopnartic and missonary college at Iona ta the Western Hebrides. Afer 34 years ot ceaseless labors, aud a few days from Nt. Augustine’s entrance into Canierbury, he died, June 9.b,597. Thirty-eight years

| after St. Augustine began laving the foun-

-——

dations of the church of God in Kent, that is, in A. D.635, S. Acdan began his mis- siouary careerin Northambria. His advent denotes the coming of a fresh eprit add loftier ideal into the missionary work which Evg'and needed in the 7th century. To one traived like Augustine, Christianity presented itself as the Kingdom of God set up in the world, Its .aws and organiia-

tion was proof of its title and rule. He could not conceive of a Church without territorial orvan‘zacion and

hierarchy. This checked the outburst of enthusiastic zeal, which power the Celtic church brought into England by St. Aidan; but by itself it was incomplete. It could arouse, but it could not maintain. It could win, but it could not govern. The combination of greater self-sacrifice and zeal with the discipline aod culture of Augustine was needed before the English Courch could awake to the responsibi iti-s of her high migsion. Not Augustine, but Aidan, is the true Apostle of Hoagland, or rather, perhaps, both Aidau and Augue- tine were needed totuild up a traly Catholic and Apostolic church. Aidan and lona staud tor the personal piety of the individual; Augustine and Canter 2ury for the ordered stability of the institution. The true church Montalambert, tke Roman Catholic his- vorian, says “turee-fifths of England was evangelized by missionaries who owed no allegiance whatever to the see of Reme.” The dett of obligation is chiefly te the missionaries of tne Celtic church who came from Northumbria aud lona, Among all these missionaries, there were, three bright and particular stars whieh shine with special lustre. They all rose and set in the short epsce of 52 years of the 7th ceatury, from A, D. 635 to A. D. 687.

The tirst is 8. Aidan, who wae Bishop of Northumbria from A. D. 635 to 651. ‘Fhe second is S. Chad, wno became Bishop of Litchfield in 669. The third isS. Cuth- bert, of Melrose, who died as Bishop of Livdenefarne in 687. The firet was the Apostle of Nerthumbri:; the second, the Apostle of the Midlands; the third was tbe Apostle of the Lowlands. Their charac- terisiics were: the wioning, lovable 38. Aidau; the bumble mirded and self eftec- ing S. Chad; the ascetic self-derying 8. Cuthbert. The Rev. Canon then gave a brilliant historical account of the wonderful missionary efforts and saintly life of each of these great workers. He closed his learned paper with a brief allusion te the missionaries of that period, trained directly or inainectly by the Church of Northum- bria, wuo went from Britain, fellefthe love of Jesus to win the fierce and barbarous tribes of Germany to Christ and His Holy Church.

REMARKS ON THE PAPER.

Mr. A. B. Warburton, D. C. L, foliow- edat some length. He aa'd th’ to appreciate the great work of Col: <a if was expedient to know something of the stateof Britain in hia day. During the Roman occupation,Chrievianity made .rest progress in the South but very little » the North. S. Columba is one of the three patron saints of Ireland—Saint Patrick, Columba and Bridget. He left Lreland whe» 42 years of age, after conduciing a great Christian work, with 12 compenions and settled on the IsJe of Iona which was given him by one of his loyal kinsmen. he builthis fir+t monastry of wattles and clay and established a seat of learning. In the monastery were priests and laymen, some doing the manual labor of the farms while others evangelised the heathen in Britain.

Bis. op Courtney said that he wished to cal) atteniion to the conditions under which these faithful men labured, the ditheulties in the way and darkness into which they plunged. They left pleasant associations to go to the wild men, and spent their lives in bringing untrained natives to the croes of Christ and into the Kingdom of God. Without the services of these heroic men we cannot say what would have been tbe darkness in which we should have been to-day. Those men went forth taking nothing for themselves, and with their lives in their hands, believing that their message would change the rough manners avd habits of the people. We need to realise that the men of whom we have heard were governed by principles which we ought to apply.

Rev. Ceeta, Vises emphasized — the statement of Canon Brock’s paper reg~rd- ing tbe strength which resulted to the English Church from the combination of Roman organization with Celtic devotion. The mission of Augustine brought with it the splendid organization of the Roman Church, inherited from the empire. The organization of the Irish church on the other band was lax. It was monastic rather than diocesan. Bishops were fre- quently resident in the monasteries under control of the abbott, and ordination was conferred by them. The self-sacrifice of Columba and his followers iv going anougst the wild tribes was sometimes overestimated.

MEBSIONARY MEETING.

Bishop Courtney, presiding, delivered | the opening address°which w as, perhaps, | Lie best dis eon Missions ever deliver-

ed in this city. He said that it had been said that interest in Missions is the test of i the value set the possession of the Goepel. In the I git of this state- | ment he was giad to see so many present

in spite of inclement weather. ‘The deeper the inierest the greater the apprebension of the blessing uf being a partaker of the Gospel. itis impossible todo any good work without getting a reflex blessing. Wi et ier we will or not the influense must

u,~on

go from us, end roore and more according to our good cheratr willbe the gvoi going from us. No people

can be associated without eviderce of the quality of selfishness in the individual. Almost the essence of Christiavity, in its practical effect, is ‘the death of seltishness. The cause in which we are interested and engaged is that of making God’s way known upon earth and His saving health among ali people. triumphs of good and the eradication of evil are wrapped upin it. Some are immersed in their own éftairs and care nothing ebout it. We may take our share in it, if we wil', and get the blessing. We may oppose, and lose the blessing. But the work goes on. It 16 a good thing to come to such @ meeting setting aside all business carer, ani realizing that we are all engagid, tos greater or lesser extent, ia the Cause of tue Graud Army of Carist’s Churea. Itis a good thing to think of these things, waich are of infiuitely more importance than all the advances of ecence and ar; better than the goid«f O,hir or Klondike. The enterprise ig an enormous one, and the @mount we give towards mission work ought to be the gauge by. which to test ourselves, “ How long would it take to carry a message from the Queen around the worlu” was asked of a soldier? Eighteen montas was the rely. Our lard gave Hie message, and eighteea venturies have gone, and the message has not been delivered yet.

Rev. Ed. Ansell, rector of Arichat, was called upon by the Biehop to epeak instead of Rev. W.J. Lockyer. Cape Breton, he said, was famous in hiswry. Three janguages are spoken there. The Gelic is mere extenrive there than axrywuere élse in Canada and is the ve-nucular of Cape Breton. The Gelicisthe keg to tue unbounded hospitality of the Islanders. Anyone epeaking it can travel throngh the Isiand and receive tue hospitality of ofthe people. The Church of Eaglavd is weak in the Island. He was tue only Anziican clergyman in Richmond County. The Curnty was seetiled principal¥ by French Acadians. We have a smali con- gregation and a neat newchurch. We have nad some tine mea wur'.ing as missionaries on theIsland. The late Bisaop Binney was a native of Sydney. We are a missionary church workiag with you in the great work of extending the kingdom ot God, and hope to have your sympachv.

Rural D an Met'or, of Guysbu 0, was then call-d upon to speak on the subject of Unworked Mi-s ous in Nova Scotia. He said t at he wae eomewhat p: ‘plex J as to whether an unworked missio: is one vs .ntor one having a residest minister, put not worked by him. A clergyman was called to visita parish in Hastern Nova Scotia and found that it had vot hat a clergymen for fourteen years. He visited th> parish aod afier careful prayer, wrote the Bishop that it was laid upon his heart to goand minister to the people. His off-r was accepted aad after a few years of earnest effort, there are now our active working clergy where formerly chere was only ovly one.

There are several places which ought to be possessed at once. Amoug the-e are River Philip in the Amherst Dean ry and a mission in the counties of Colchester and Maitland.

Rev. A. Lea, rector of New Glasgow. the next speaker had four his sutject “Algoma and the North West.” ‘The work in Algoma is two fold - ministering to the settlers and to the Indians.

The Incian is being cut off fom = old methods of livelihood—fiahing and bunt- ing; he must turn to lambering, mining, agriculture and stock-raising. Again, the barbarous cue.oms of the tribes are being prohibited by legal enactments and the nomad.c life of Indiass disccuraged by the government by the setting apart of reserves. Much has been done by the

giving

the Indians, in the encouragment of agriculture and stock-raising, and by financial assistance of missionary work in the schools of the North West.

‘The work of Algoma was twofold—sup- plying the spirituat needs of the settlers and the evangelization of the [adians. There are three centres. of Indian work in Algoma :

(1) The Lake Nipigon Mission by which 150 Indians were gathered into the Churcb; but for three years no Missionary has been there owing to lack of funds.

¢2) The Garden River Mission ia which are 150 Indians wno are ministered to by the Rey. F. Frost.

(3) ‘The Manitoulin Island Mission. “At Shegmandah there are about 100 Indians and at Sucker Creek, Spanish River,

who were under the faithful ministration of Rev. F. Frost for twenty years.

The speaker referred to the admirable work done by the Shingwaak Home which has sixty pupils at present. The work of the Wawanosh Home is now in abeyance owiag to lack of funds.

Rev. F. Wilkinson, rector of Dart- mouth, spoke next on the eubject of ‘Japanese Missions.” Mr.Wilkinson had @ map which he used to illustrate bis aa- dress. He said that we ought to be interest- in Japan, first because the island of Japen was the land sought by Columbus, who discovered Am-rica; secondly because | we havea line of railway which places us in direct connection with Japan,

THIS FORENOON,

The third session of the Nova Scotia Diosesan Missionary Conference was held in St. Paul’s Schoolroom this morning. ' Bi hop Courtney in the chuir.

Tue Rev. James Simpson, M,. A., Incum- j bent of St. Peter’s, read a lengthy and ‘comprehensive historical payer on **Enropean Missions to North America.” It will appear at a later date.

tev. K. P. Hurley, rector of Antigonish, | followed Mr. Simpson. He eloquently | refuted the charge that the Church of | England has not done her duty in the mirsion field. It would be a gigantic task to speak ia full of the labors of three nokle English Missionary Societies: the Society for Promoting Curistaia Know- ledge, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Colonial Continental Church Society. Every charter granted by the British declared the object of colonization to be the carrying of the gospel to the heathen, and the progress of the British colonies had been made under the sign of the cross. Since Augustine landed on the shores of Kent, Britain’s Church bas always realized and carried out her duty of spreading the Gospel.

Our work, when begun on this con- tinent, wae assailed by sectarianr; but in spite of that the Church wae planted and prospered. We have now 92 bisbops and 24,000 clergy. Are theee the fruits of a church with no sacramental life and char- acter. The cuurch is very much alive today, and our children should learn to prize tbe priceless beruage that is ours.

Rev. F. Wilkiason, rector of Dartmouth, spoke briefly of t. » work done in the Can- adiaa Northwest by the Church Missionary Society, of England. Until recently, all the goo! work has been done by English-

men. But now the Canadians are euter- ‘ing the field. He r ‘erred to Rev. KE. Peck, who was obliged t»

‘cave his first mission because of lunacy iu ois family, brought on by the awful isolatioa and desolation of his position in the extreme North West. As soon as his health was restvred, he offered to go out again to the hardest mission post in Canada, and was s it to Cumberland Souna to work among*t the Exquimaux. The rev. gentleman said that the church people ought to subscribe to aud read the missionary papers more than they de to gather information of missionary work.

Veo. A chd:a:on Weston-Jones thought that family religious life was kept up by the settlers, and that they prepared the way for the e- ry missionaries. Loyal churchmen had done a great work in the Church by using the} rayer books in their homes.

Rev. W. Driffield, rector of Pugwash, said that he thought the study of the past to be necessary and that we are not wasting our time in studying the history of missions. He admired the heroism and zeal of the Roman Church Mission- aries, and regretted that more had not been said concerning them.

Bishop Courtney hoped we woull look at the present_as well as the past. He was glad that mention had been made of the Roma: Church Missioraries but disap- pointed that nothing had been said of the

zealous _Jabours of the Presbyterian, ‘Methodists, Baptists and others. The Church of Eugland stands between the

Roman Catholics and the Sectariana as the Church of reconciliation and we 8 1:0vld always be ready and free to recognize the good we see in ali missionary enterprise.
