A SPLENDID REPORT WAS PRE- SENTED BY THE TREASURER. Handsome Gift of $1,000 Was Re- ceived From Mrs. Mills on Behalf of the Late Bishop Mills For the Mission Fund-- Addresses by Bis- hop Williams and Bishop Reeve. | At Tuesday afternoon session of | the Synod of the Didcese of Ontario, | announcement was made of the hand-| some gift of $1,000 from Mrs. Mills, | on behalf of her husband, the late Bishop Mills, for the mission fund. A] special committee was appointed to] draft a letter of thanks for the gift. Rural Dean J. W. Jones, of Tam- worth, who was elected as clerical secretary of the Synod, to fill the va- | cancy caused by the death of Canon Grout, was escorted to his seat on | the platform admist loud applause, The new secretary was given a most | enthusiastic welcome to his new post. |Rev. F. G. Kirkpatrick, who was nominated for secretary, retired, {leaving the contest between Rural | Dean Jones and Rev. A. L. McTear, of | Bath, who was elected honorary sec- retary. Francis King was re-elected [lay secretary and R. J. Carson was re- | elected treasurer. | { Financial Statement. The report of the treasurer, R. J. Carson, was presented and adopted, | and was received by members of Sy- nod with warm words of commenda- tion. It was a fine report. Mr. Car- son, who has ably carried out the du- ties of treasurer for many vears, ask- ed that he be relieved of the duties, but the members of Synod would not hear of him resigning. Archdeacon Beamish expressed the general feel- ing of the house when he stated that the Synod could not think of allowing Mr. Carson to retire, Bishop Bidwell remarked that the Synod was very much indebted to Mr. Carson for his work. | In presenting his report, Mr. Car- | son stated that he had reason to con- | gratulate the Synod on the good | condition of the finances. He re- garded the report as a most flat'er- |ing one for the Synod. The receipts for the year ending 1916 show a gross income of ahout 15 2-3 per cent. After deducting ex- | penses, a dividend of 51% per cent. | for the year has been paid, leaving a | credit balance of $66.15.

These seven shares have not been incorporated in the Consoli- dated Fund, as by the trust deed, the income is specifically applied to the Clergy Superannuation Fund, and varies as to rate, when compared with the Consolidated Fund dividend. The par value of the shares is $700. To Take Charge. On motion of the Chancellor, Judge' McDonald, the charge of Bishop Bid- well will be printed in the minutes of Synod. A special committee will deal with questions arising out of the Bishop's charge. His lordship asked that a committee of laymen consider the question of stipends of the clergy, which he referred to. A letter was received from the sons Archdeacon Dobbs presented a memorial, relative to the death of Bishop Mills, which will be inserted in the minutes 2 ucopy will be sent to Mrs. Mill§ and her son, Major Mills.

The Right Reverend Dr. Williams, Lord Bishop of Huron, and Bishop Reeve, assistant to Bishop Sweeny, of Toronto, addressed the Syn took up work in the diocese now un- der Bishop Williams. Bishop Williams said that he was very glad to know Bishop Bidwell. "1 have nowy him for some time," he added, "and a more efficient col league 1 never met." Bishop Williams reminded the | nd 'members of Synod that with the new Bishop installed, marked a turning point with the diocese, and he ap- pealed ber that he was their leader, and that they must be his followers and sup- ONTARIO SYNOD SESSION Johnson street, on Ne Thurlow, passed was in his seventy-fifth year. wards the Midland Central Fair, to them to first of all remem- Stent critics," added his lordship. "While there is no objection to criticism, let it be of a friendly character. As a leader, he has a great responsibility, as he must be the father of you all. | And if our friends the Presbyterians, will excuse me, I might say that he is to be a moderator. His chief fune- tion-will be to moderate. You knéw that there are some fire brands in the church sometimes. There are men who are headstrong, with but one idea, and yet while they are valuable men, they are difficult to handle if allowed their way, would get the church in a muddle. The Bishop will guide you out of difficulties. Re- member that you are his fellow labor- ers." Bishop Reeve brought greetings from Toronto to the new Bishop, and stated that he sanctioned all that Bis- hop Williams had said about the duty of the members of Synod to- wards their Bishop.
