it will be seen from s study of these figures that our Grants arc up more than our Giving, and as a consequence our surplus of giv- ing over getting is slightly down. This can be understood when it is recalled that the figures of this year are the first to show the ef- fect of the new and higher scale payments to students and to men in augmented charges. The fixed policy of the Synod has always been to give more and ask less in the way of grants. but the in- creases in student rates from 612.50 per week to $15.00, and the raising of the maximum grants to augmented holds from $000 tos500 has naturally thrown us of! our former balance, and imposed a new and increased demand on our giving.

"We are not. however. put com- pletely in the red. by this forward 8MP. for which. by the way, we asked and urged upon the Asem- bly and the Board of Missions. The upward giving has not quite matched the upward asking, but there is evidence that the new demand has been recognised. The gain. in giving over the previous year is $2.787. the amount raised and forwarded to the Church Treasurer at Toronto, being $33.- 906, as against $30,139. However. the figure for Grants is up $3,080, having risen from 910,135 to 813,- 215. showing that our increased giving has fallen short of meeting our increased getting by $310, and thus reducing what may be termed our credit balance for the work oi the Church as a whole, out- side of the Synod for the year, from $20,004 to $15,891.

"On the whole, the plan of sus- taining our weaker causes by Grants works smoothly and well, and the complaint made by a for. mer minister. that the Board of Missions “was killing the country

churches", cannot be maintained. The with," s“, The very opposite is true; it is keeping them alive. And they are

In the Synod in 1928. the first yea!‘ that figures were available after the great exodus of 1925 of those who went out from us to 1185M. with the Methodists and the Congregatlonalists to form the United Church, we were left with 16,802 communlcant members. We now have 20,406, a yearly average increase of 171. It is not large, but it is steady, and taken with the growth in ministers from i9 to 87, in budget givings from 20 to 33 thousand in round numbers. with the building of numerous new churches, and in the reduc- tion of debts, it is not altogether a discouraging record, or one that warrants the complaint that the church is dying. or losing its hold.
