The Annual Meeting last Evening The annuel meeting of the Dieceean Church Seciety was held in 8t. Pauss Schoolroem ijast evening.

Paul’s eengregation under the leadership of their new rector, seems to be getting rtrength for new efforts. The vacancy st Crapaud has been eatisfactorily filled by the appoiatment ef the Rev.J. M. Forbes, and courehmen throughout the parish are now uoiied and enthuriasiic. “The Archdeacon bas arranged fer filling Rey. Mr Forbes’ place at Alberton, while the rectors of the ether parishes, without exception,report favorably upon the year’s work, “We are sorry to say that Cherry Valley is still unprovided fer, and there seems to be little hope of a satisfactory arrangement been reached im the immediate fucure. “If, bewever, there is some ground for congratulation, there is much also for sober reficsction. Entering a# we now are upOa the laat year of the 19th cen- tury, a retrospective glance at the bie- tory of the church en this Island dur- forth the admission that eur portion to- reasonably been expected. It isto be hoped that the realization of this may inspire us with a determination to attack ibe difficulties that confront us mere zealously and more intell:geutly ia the future than we have dene in the past. “Though as regards our home relations the year hasbeen comparatively unevent- ful, ontside ef these it has been tar otberwiee, for we, in commen with other portions of the Empire, have been called upon to face the dread issues of war, and, for the first time im our bis- tory to send our sené across ihe ocean, to sustain our country’s cause. A num-~ ber ef our men aremew at the front in Seuth Afriea, othere are nearing Cape Town, with whom the Rev. W.J. Cox, but lately a member of our ministerial reaks goes forward as chaplain, and still others are being enrolled. R_ jsice as we may atthe outburst of patriotic spirit which has been called forth the dread penalties whieh attach to such confi cts are net to be ignored. “This truth has already been forced upen ue, for even now we are called upon to mourn the lose of Captain Hensley, who was killed beriocally leading bis men into action in the batile of Venier’s Spruit. Most fervently de we pray that the war with all its horrors may speedily end in the tri- umph of Truth and Righteousness and the furtherance of God’s purposes for maa- kind.” Reports from the various parishes were, then read by their respective rectors, except in the ease of New London and ill to be present. We summarize them as follows: ALBELKTJINe The Archdeacon reports that arrange~ ments have been made with a clergyman parish is in a healthy condition. The zeai and activity of the church yeople at Q*Leary receives special no'ice. PORT HILL. Rev. Henry Harper reports services well attended and earnest worshippers. Three Sunday Schools, all having paiostaking teachers, are in operation. The church at Port Hill bas been repainted and the furnace repaired. At Ellerelie,!a new and beautiful church was consecrated early in July—a great credit to the buildere, Messrs H. W. Wil- liams and E. Bpgland. At Lot 11 the church has been repaired and additional improvements are pro- posed. Good results followed the visits of the Bishop and the Archdeacon. Mr. Harper thankfully ackunowledges many kindneésesen the part of his con- | gregatiens. SUMMERSIDE AND ST. ELEAMOR’S, Rey. J. M. Withycom be reports that the work of these parishes hae been ‘geing steadily, on the services baving been maintained and thie various organizations each and all doing their duty in a more or leas «effectual manner. Harmony pre vails among the parishioners of beth churches snd between the rector and bis parishieners. The well known Bleanor’s rectory has been sold,it being no longer of any direct service to the parish Mr. Withyeembe acknowledges many special eviaences of kindness and thought- ful assistance in varione forme MILTON AND R¥ETICO. The Venerable Archdeacon Reagh re- ports a less of several active members emigrated to the States er other parts of Canada, and gone to Seuth Africa. But the congregatipns have been unasua!ly large aud reguiar. At Rustieo, the Sunday Schvel uader Mr.S.Ne!lsom was as well mainiained as in previous veare;and Mr. Nelson’s faith~ ful work canmot fail to bear good fruit in the future. Services have been resumed at North Wilesbire, after the Japse of many years, with particularly eacouraging prospects. | At every service the building proved too small to accommedate the large number | present, eome even failing to obtain stand- ing room, CRAPAUD, SPRINGFIELD AND LONG CREKE. Rev. J. M. Forbes reports that since his arrival in the parish the rectory was thoroughly repaired, and that great credit is due tbe ladies for their work in mak- ing it “so pleasent and comfortable.” Harmony prevails in all parte of the parish. Services are well attended. The services of the Mi ses Haslam in connec tion with the Sunday Scheol at Spring- field and Charlottetown, are acknowledged, as aleo the gift of acow by Mrs. Stewart, of Strathgartney. ST. PAUL'S. Rev. LeoWilliams, Rector of 8t. Paul’s, Charlottetown, referred to his recent arrival, and said that he had been greatly encouraged by the frequent manifestations, durivg the past two months, of the ear- nestvess, liberality and devotion of his congregation in the church, the Suuday school and minor organizations and details of parish work. The,devotion and wisdem of the Jadies in respect to the managemeat of their societies bad been very gratifying, and their independent zeal in the prose~ Si. + 4B DABLY MXAMANuWk CHARLUTTEVTUWN, FEBRUARY 8 1900 ' Marcel Conran, and said tha! the congrega- Liew 1* veited ap active.
