The gentle- men at the back of this scheme, with a persistency worthy of a wiser cause, have advanced so far as to ask for an assessment on all the Sunday chools of each Diocese throughout the Dominion for preliminary expenses. The amount required from this Diocese for the pur- pose would be about forty dollars. The duties of this secretary have been out- lined in a circular which has been I have the document here, It is worth reading. It would really be very funny if it were not that, in. order to carry on this secretarial work, it is pro- posed, by an assessment on all the dio- €eses, to raise three thousand two hun- dred and fifty-five dollars a yedr; of which we would have to pay about two hundred dollars.
