Excerpt from A Historical and Statistical Report of the Presbyterian Church of Canada: In Connection With the Church of Scotland, for the Year 1866

This Second Edition embraces, more or less fully, all the corrigenda et addenda with which the Author has been supplied during the three months that the Report has been before the public. It is gratifying to be able to state, that the alterations made arc neither numerous nor such as to vitiate, in any important particular, the general accuracy of the first edition.

It is worthy of remark that the sum of 83,265.75, given on page 144 as the total amount of contributions to the Home Mission Fund for 1866, refers only to the Synodical Home Mission. In addition to this each Presbytery supports a local Home Mission. That of Toronto expends annually about 81000 within its bounds. In the Presbytery of Montreal the sum of $ 642 was thus expended last year; and in that of Glengary about $450. At the least $ 3000 is annually contributed for Presbyteries' Home Missions, and to this should properly be added the sum of 81,651. styled "additional," under the heading of "salary" (page 122), and which is fully explained at the foot of page 143. These, added to the sum first mentioned, give an aggregate of $7,906 as the ordinary annual contributions of the Church from all sources for Home Mission purposes.

The omission of full particulars regarding the " Indian Orphanage Scheme and Juvenile Mission" is acknowledged with regret. This mast interesting scheme was commenced in 1856, at the instance of Mr. John Paton of Kingston; and its success has been very marked and cheering. Its operations arc carried on chiefly through the instrumentality of the Scottish Ladies' Association for Female Education in India, and towards its support the Churches in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have extended their hearty co-operation. There was contributed to this Mission, chiefly through the Sabbath Schools of the Church, the sum of $854 for the year ending 1st June, 1867; the number of Indian orphan children clothed, supported, and educated by our young friends at that date being 34; while means have been provided and application made for the appropriation of five others.

On page 128, the number of Ministers in charges is stated to be 107; on page 129, calculations regarding stipend assume the number of Ministers to be 108, including two assistant Ministers. The seeming discrepancy is accounted for by the fact of the Minister of Goderich having resigned early in 1866, and, as no salary is stated in the tables to have been promised him by the people for that year, in the calculation reference to his name was dropped.
