—The value of goods entered for con sumption in Canada during August was

$10 222.710, and the duty collected thereon $2,123,678 The total dutiable goods was

six and three-quarters millions. The im- ports are half a million in excess of those of August, 1887. and the revenne shows an increase of $140,000. The exports amount- ed to $58,158,560.

The Empire explains the hitch which resulted in the cessation of negotiations between the Governments of Canada and Newfoundiand. It says:

The Government of the Colony were will- ing co get together a delegation who would come to discuss terms of union, but this dele- gstion would not be empowered to agree to

any scheme to be submitted to the people. That is to say, they would hear what Canada had to say and would take back any proposi- tions, but they would not undertake to pre- sent any scheme before the people and recom- mend its acceptance. The Government of the Dominion might be bound by such proposi- tions vut there would be nobody In New- foundland bound to support before the people a scheme which the delegates might individ- ually cousider fair and feasible. At the end of tie neyotiations, everything would be at loose ends. Under such circumstances the Wise couise was to drop the correspondence

OPENING SERVICES.

Sermon on Hissions by the Retiring Moderator.

Rev. J. M. McLeod Unanimously: Elected Moderator. |

ADDRESS ON “HOME MISSIONS,

Tak Synod of the she Maritime Provinces of the Presbyterian Church in Canada com menced its session fur this year in Zion} Church last evening. Several of its stand ing Committees were in session yesterday morning and afternnon. The opening services consisted in public worship and a

sermon by the retiring Moderator, the Rev. E.A. McCurdy, of New Glasgow. fhe sermon was, as styled by Rev

Burns, when moving a vote of thanks to Mr. McCurdy, after his successor had taken the chair, ‘table and excellent.’ Mr. McCurdy’s theme was: ** Missivus, the supreme work of the Church, and how they should be engaged in.” His text was : St. Mark, 16th chap., 15th verse.

At the close of the sermon hymn 265 was sung, andgthen fRev. Mr. McCurdy, as retiring Moderator, constituted the | Synod by prayer. The roll call showed hat about half of those entitled to seats in the Synod were present. After the roll call, Mr. McCurdy, in a feeling speech, thanked the Synod _ fer the sup- port which had been given him during his occupancy of the chair, making special reference to the five breth- ern who had died during his Moderatorship, aud then called on the Synod to name his successor.

rie names presented by the Presbyteries were those of John M. McLeod, of Char- lottetown, Rev. D. B. Blair, of Barney’s River, N. 8S.; Rev. H. McKay, of Wallace, N.S., and Rev. N. McKay, of Chitham,

Bb. Mr. Blair took the floor, and ina happy speech, sparkling with native wit, moved that Rev, John M. McLeod should be accorded ** the Presidency,” as he styled it, ** of this Ecclesiastical Republic.” This was seconded by Rev. H. McKay, and sup- ported by the Rev. N. McKay, who tried to catch the Moderator’s eye in vain, or he would have been, he claimed, possessed of the honor of moving or seconding the nomination,

Mr. MeLeod was elected by a unani- mous vote, aud amidst applause was con- ducted to the chair by Mr. Blair and the Messrs. MeWay. After thanking the Synod for the honor conferred upon him, he gave an excellent sequel to the sermon of the evening in an elvquent appeal for Home Missions, especially emphasising the Synod’s duty in connection with pioneer

work. Great things had been done throughout the North-west and British Columbia, as he was, by reason of his late

trip to the Pacific, able to attest from what he had himself seen. He would have the work so energetically and successfully earried on thus far, continued as it had been begun—our sons, and the sons of the stranver followed into their new settle- ments in our western heritage by the

preachers of righteousness and the means of grace. The report of the Committee on Busi-

ness having been presented, its recommen- dations were, r some discussion, agreed to, and the Synod adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning. There was a very large congregation present.

Synod met this morning at Ten

afte

The o'clock.

Devotional exercises were conducted by the Moderator, assisted hy Rev. N. McKay, of Chatham, N. B., and Rev. J. H. Turn- bull, of Stellarton, N.S. Rev. John Good-

will, Rev. James Murray, of Stellarton, and Rey. Dr. Patterson, of New Glasgow, were,

on motion, unanimously invited to sit and deliberate with the Synod.

The chief business of the sederunt was the receiving of the reports of the Hunter Church Building Fund of Nova Scotia, of the

MeLaggon Educational Trust of New srunswick, of the Halifax Ladies’ College,

of the Synod’s Visitors to the Ladies’ College, of the Committee anent co-oper- ation with the Nova Scotia Conference of the Methodist Church, and of the Halifax Theological College.

The excellent report of the in every way so successful Halifax Ladies College elicit- ed general interest. It was presented by Mr. Robert Murray, of Halifax. It has been most remarkably successful. Its students for the past year—the first year of its existence—numbered 216. For this year they have had to engage accommoda- tion outside the College, in order to be able to receive the applicants, who number almost twice as many as they did for last year. The College accommodation which had been calculated sufficient formany years tu come, urgently requires to be immediate- ly increased.

The Ladies College reports were spoken to by Revs. E. D. Millar, Thos. Cumming, W. P. Archibald, Dr. Macrae and others, all of whom referred to the excellent and gratifying success of the institution. The adoption of the reports was unanimously carried,

The Moderator and Rev. John McMillan were appointed visitors for the incoming year.

Dr. Burns presented the report of the Pine Hill College. Its financial concerns, he stated, were in a better condition than ever before. Dr. McKnight and a number of others took part in its discussion.

The report of the Committee on Metho- dist co-operation was received, and the Committee re-appointed.

Letter From Hou. D. Ferguson.

Srr,—My attention is called to the article in yesterday’s Patriot with my name for » heading. I have just to say that I know nothing of the item copied from Tur EXAMINER, nor of the remarks regarding Halliday’s Wharf attributed therein to Mr. Welsh, and that the Patriot is all wrong in charging them to me.

Since the last Dominion election, | have been applied to constantly, by both Liberals and Conservatives, to use any influence I may have with Ministers for the good of the County, and I have always cheerfully rendered all the assistance in my power. | have never attempted to make capital eut of grants obtained or new post vflices established. I have not trumpeted my achievements nor asked others to do it for me. But it does seem rather unfair when, after months of correspondence in explain- ing matters and meeting objections, I have succeeded in gaining some advantages for the people, that men, whose heart’s desire is that every thing may be neglected in order that they may have ground to abuse the Government, rush in and claim credit for what I have done.

I am, Yours, D. Ferevson.

Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., tomorrow to take part in a Supreme Court.

We are glad to learn that Hon. Laird is somewhat better to-day, the having taken a favorable turn.

On account of Charles Watts’ engagement to deliver a course of lectures throughout the United States during the coming Fall and Winter, it has been necessary to postpone his series of discourses here until next spring.

Emperor William has confirmed the election of Professor Harnack to the chair of Church History at the Berlin University, despite the protest of the senior Evangelical Court, which disapproved cf his religious views. This action is regarded as a heavy blow to the ex- treme Cl hurct party of Germ: any.

Much regret is expressed in the Parsh of Crapaud at the resignation of Rev. T. W. Johnston of the Rectorship of Crapaud and Springfield. The Bishop of Nova Scotia having nominated Mr. Johnston to these im- portant parishes, he was unanimously elected Rector of each, and was inducted in St. John’s Church during one of Bishop Binney’s sub- sequent visits. As Curate jof Parsboro, Mr. Joinston was known as an indefatigable and successful worker, and when he came te Crapaud he had full se ‘ope for all the energy of his nature, and am ample opportunity to display any qualities of ability or industry which he may possess. The parish having been vacant for two years, everything bore the signs of {decline and rapid decay — the church delapidated, the rectory neglected and much out of repair, and the congregation scattered and seemingly indifferent. His in- fluence soon gathered around him those in- terested in the Church, and soon life and activity took the place of deadness and negligence. The church was thoroughly reno- vated, equipped with everything requisite for the work of the church, the rectory has been put in complete repair and enlarged, and his earnest and effective preaching gothered to- gether large congregations. He identitied himself in everything that tended to promote the heppiness and well-being of thepeople of the parish as wvell as his own parishwners, ever taking the deepest interest in the public schools, visiting them, taking part in the ex- aminations, and encouraging the pupils by valuable prizes. As a temperance worker, he was ever at the front. At the time of the blue ribbon movement he had over three hundred pledged abstainers on his lists. At his own risk he purchased a building at Victoria, which he used as a Mission Chapel, and in which he opened a free reading-room, with a good supply of papers and magazines, and games of various kinds as an inducement to the young especially, to spend their even- ings profitably and away from pernicious in- fluences. Inevery section of his extensive mission, wherever he found a hamlet of houses where the people were deprived of re- ligious ministrations, he held services and es- tablished Sunday Schools. Desiring to ex- tend bis work, and finding a few of his own church in Lot 65, he turned his attention to their spiritual needs, and besides giving them his gratuitous seryices for many years, be has succeeded in erecting a church at Long Creek which, when finished, will be one of the pr ettic st on the Island. Outside of his own parish, Mr. Johaston has always been an energetic churcliman. When he came to the Island he found the church people unac- quainted with the benefits of Synodical action in legislating for the well being of the church at large, and strenuously opposed those who attempted to keep the Island congregations out of the Nova Scotia Synod, and the parish of Crapaud has the honor of being the first to send delegates to that Synod. One of his most praiseworthy acts was his organization of the P. E. Island Clerical Association, of which he was elected the first President.
