This is a large income for a society connected with one of our Canadian churches. We regret to learn that there is a debt of $53,000, this large amount, however, is being liquidated, one man alone having given the noble sum of $20,000 for. this purpose. Interesting addresses were given by Rev, har. Browning, a retnrned missionary from British Columbia, now stationed at Uxbridge and the Rev. W.

The amount realized at this church last year was $1160.31, The amount contrib. uted at the anniversary meeting this year was a little over that which was subscribed in Port Perry the previous evening.
