The Presbyterians.

COLLEGE AND TO THE

| REFORTS OF THE MONTREAL

QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY PRESENTED

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The report of the Montreal College pre- sented to the Presbyterian General As- sembly a few days ago, declares the last session to have been a most successful one the number of students in the theological classes being the largest in the history of the institution. Six students completed the ordinary course and one the post graduate course. Of the six five speak both French and English, making a most important addition to the number of work- ers available for the special mission work which is every year becoming more needed in the Province of Quebec and Eastern Ontario, The financial position of the College has somewhat improved since last year, owing mainly to two causes, economy in expenditure to a greater extent than will hereafter be consistent with efficiency, and to the receipt from friends in Moutreal of special contributions, amounting to, with two legacies, the sum of nearly $1600. The debt on the ordinary, fund has been remoy- ed, and every fund, except the building fund, shows a_ balance on the right side. The building fund indebtedness has been reduced by about $1200.

The report of the trustees of Queen’s University states that the steady increase in the number of students that has marked 80 many years goes on. Through special gifts and donations the revenue keeps equal to the expenditure, in spite of the decline in the rate of interest. The available capi- tal is larger in amount than everit was, while the value of the property is increas- ing annually. The staff has been strength- ened by several tutors, who are paid almost entirely from special fees. The laboratories and library are maintained in efliciency from the same source. The total number of students enrolled last session was 372. Of these, 191 are in the Arts Faculty, a the rest in the Professional Faculties; 70 are studying forthe ministry of the Pres- byterian Church ; others intend to enter

the ministry in connection with sister bodies, and the rest have the legal, medical, teaching, or engineering

professions in view, or are seeking a liberal education for its own sake or for the better equipment of themselves for whatever work in life they may be called unto. Besides the above, several students attend only evening Jectures or the summer session. The report then refers to the Jubilee fund of $250,000 which is being raised in com- memoration of the Queen’s Jubilee and the Jubiiee of the University, and says, that: *‘While we have just completed our forty- sixth session, it was in 1837 that the church irst resolved to institute a college in Canada, and two years afterwards Kingston was selected as the site. As part of the Jubilee Fund will be specially for the en- dowment of the Faculty of Divinity, a smaller amount will thereafter be asked from the collection enjoined by the Assem- bly. {t is evident that the svoner our col- leges are properly endowed the bétter, thatso the liberality of the church may flow out with the least possible diversiun tu the great missionary causes that appeal directly and powerfully to every Christian heart. This policy has been accepted by the Assembly, and the success that has already attended it in our own case, and still more in the cases of sister institutions, makes us sanguine that we shall not appeal in vain for sympathy and support in the effort to complete the eudowment that is indispensable to the ‘successful carrying on of the great. work of the University.”

A plan was laid for the choosing of dele- gates tothe Pan-Presbyterian Council in London next June. The choice was made on the 14th of sixteen delegates.

Halifax was chosen as the place for hold- ing the next assembly.

On the 14th inst. the General Assembly passed the following recommendations for the regulation of augmentation grants:—

(1.) No grant shall be made to any congre- gation for the year succeeding the March meeting of committee where arrears of stipend are reported as due on 3lst December preced- ing, until such arrears of stipend have been paid, or until the congregation shall have been dealt with by presbytery, and explanation satisfactory to presbytery and committee have been given.

(2.) That where the number of communi- cants is more than double the number of fa- milies, the committee shall have discretionary power to make a grant, even though the mini- mum contribution per communicant be not reached

A resolution was passed earnestly com- mending the home mission, and augmen- tation schemes to the sympathy and liber- ality of all congregations of the church, so that largely increased contributions neces- sary for efficient maintenance of the work may be secured.

A lengthy discussion took place as to how best to meet the probable deticit .f $9,000 next year for home missions, and of $3,000 for augmenation. Several members advo- eated that the women of the church should

is prompt and particular to a nicety, not) in tuning alone but 1n all mechanical work— Re-;

do for this important scheme as they were doing for foreign work. Others held that they should have liberty to give at least a | share of their contributious to home mis- sions. Finally the matter was left in the hands of the women tc do what may seem best for this and every department of the | Lord’s works.

The reports of the committee on statistics showed 42 presbyteries, an increase of three during the year, viz,: Orangevile, Colum-

| bia and Indore. The number of pastoral charges reported was 772, the number of | missionary stations or groups 309, and the vacant charges reported 94. 823 ministers reported as having their names on the rolls of presbyteries besides 56 ministers resid- ing in bounds of presbyteries whose names are not on the rolls. According to re- | ports this year there is seating accommo- }dations for 410.975 persons, being an ‘increase of 30,776. Congregations and stations report through their presbyteries 76,226 families connected with them, an

increase of 4,315 und 10,007 single persyns,

VOL. 21.-NO, 24.

an increase of about one thousand. The number of communicants is 136,598, giving an increase of nearly nine thousand; 15,- 046 was added during the year, Baptism was administered during the year to 10,264 infants and 1,051 adults. In the home mission field there are 308 churches or stations supplied with sitting accommoda- tion for 18,701 persons. There are 4,400 families, and of these 2,591 are reported as

‘Highlanders

contributing to the support of the ordin- ances and 602 single persons. On stipend promised from all sources there is an in- crease of $15,247, the total amount

being $706,066. Only two Presby- teries in the maritime provinces, Wallace

and Newfoundland, report no arrears; only one in the synod of Montreal and Kingston and two in the Hamilton and London synod. The amount expended on churches and manses during the year was $321,297, a decrease of $27,970 compared with last year, and on other strictly congregational objects was $124,290, or a Teoma of $177,960. The total contributions for schemes of the church were $193,453, an increase of 8717. Last year the total expenditure for all purposes was $1,580,818 and showed an increase on the previous year of $22,600. The total expenditure for the period embraced in this report was $1,533, ac ‘The Macleods.

According to traditional history the Mac- Leods are of Scandinavian origin, They are descended from Leod, son of O'ane the Black, King of Man, son of Godfred the Black, son of Olave the Red, son of Godfred Crovan. Godfred Crovan became King of Man in 1077. He was a son of Harold the Black of Iceland. Leod married a daughter of Macraild, a Scandinavian chieftain who resided at Dan- vegan. His original possession was Glenelg. Ile received with his wife the Jands of Dun- vegan, Minginish, Bracadale, Duirinish, Syndale, and part of Troternish, or about two-thirds of the Isle of Skye. He had two sons, Tormod and Torguil. Tormod succeeded his father, and added Harris to his possessions. Malcolm, Tormod’s son and heir, obtained a charter of Glenelg from David II. in 1343. Torquil, Leod’s younger son, married Margaret Macnicol, the heiress of the barony of Assint, and thus came into possession of that district. Tormod was the progenitor of the Macleods of Glenelg and Harris. From Torquil sprang the Macleods of Lewis, Waternish in the Isle of Skye, Assint, Gairloch, and Raasay. The former Macleods are known as Siol Thormoid, and the latter as Siol Thorcuil.

Skene, in his excellent ‘‘History of the of Scotland,” denies that the Macleods are of Scandinavian order. His account of them is as follows: ‘“*The Mac- leods and the Campbells are by the oldest genealogies duduced from a common ances- tor. There can be no doubt that these two clans are the descendants of a part of the original inhabitants of Garmoran, There are few clans whose Noi weg an origin has been more strenuously maintained or more generally believed than that of the Macleods, and yet, for that origin there is not the vestige of authority. The original possessions of the Macleods appear to have been Glenelg, of which district King David the second, grants a charter to Malcolm, the son of Termod Macleod. They are said to have acquired the extensive lands in Skye by marriage with a daughter of Macraild, one of the Norwegian nobles of the Islands; and from this connection are probably the traditions of their being descended from the Norweg an Kings of the Isles.” Under the name Garmoran, Skene includes the dis- trict of Knoydart, Morar, Arisaig, Moy- dart, Glenelg, Ardnamurchan and Movern. — Ex.

The Size of Benjamin Franklin's Head.

He had intended tohave worn a wig as well as a sword, and to have carried his hat under his arm, after the style of the day. The wig was ordered, but tradition says that the hair-dresser made it too small and that he could not get it upon the mas- sive craniam of Doctor Franklin. He worked at it for a long time, and upon Franklin finally hinting that the wig was perhaps not large enough, the hair-dresser angrily dashed it to the floor, saying: ‘‘Monsieur, it is impossible. It is not the wig which is too small; it is your head which is too large.”” And, as it was now too late to procure another one, Franklin was compelled to go without it. Having discarded the wig, he concluded also to dis- pense with the sword and hat, and appear- ed dressed as I have stated. The two other American ministers wore wigs and swords. —From “Our Diplomats in Court,” by Frank G. Carpenter, in the American Maga- zine.

Civilized by the Lash.

Although Mr. nei s whole course has been calculated to win the love and cun- fidence of the Metlakahtla Indians, his rule has been firm. One of the first public buildings erected was a jail, and the whip- ping post became an established institution for the punishinent of those who take life. On one occasion it became necessary to whip a desperately bad man, and the con- stables were afraid that be would afterwards kill the one who applied the lash. Mr. Duncan told thei to blindfold him so that he wovld not know who done the whipping. A handkerchief was tied about his eyes, and the constable took the piece of rope, but he was so nervous that he began to talk. Of course the man recognized his voice. Thereupon Mr. Duncan took the piece of rope from the constable, and going up to the criminal said: ‘*I will tell you who is going to whip you; I am going to do it myself f;do you understand?” Then he wipped him. The culprit is now one of

the best men in Metlakahtla.—Z. L. White
