Prof. Mellish, who ot cupied the chair, appro pI iately refe rred tu the excellent record of the Methodist Church on the Island in the past, in not only raising funds for missien-

ary purposes, but in sending out men from our own midst to labor as minsters of the gospel. SThe annual report, read by the Rev.. F. W. Moore, pre sented most cheering facts respecting the success of missionary work, and also showed that the field is still great and the laborers few. Suitable reference was also made in the re- port to the death of Mayor Beer, who pre- sided at the annual meeting last year. The Rey. Mr. Harrison spoke eloquently of the triumphs of the Gospel among the North- west Indians, and in Japan, Fiji fand else- where, and urged the necessity of continued exertion on the part of the church in sup- port of the cause. Rev. W. Hamilton, in an effective address of length on the motives which should prompt Chirist- ians to contribute of theif means to in- missionary opera-

Jost,.. was passed, appointing the committee and collectors g Suitable hymns were rendered by the choir in the intervals of the speeches. The meeting was closed with the doxology and benediction.

The annual # Missionary Sermons were preached last Sabbath by Rev. C. W. Ham- ilton, of Margate, and W. W. Lodge, of Cornwall, to good and appropriate congre- gations in both Methodist Churches. Last evening the public meeting was held in the Second church, and was well attended. Ap- propriate and able addresses in the interest of the Missionary Cause were delivered by Rev. Messrs Shenton, Hamilton and Lodge. It is a gratifying fact that the work of Christian Missions as carried on by the Methodist Church of Canada, is in- creasing in magnitude and effectiveness with
