Missions, home and foreign, form- | ed the main subject of discussion at the business session following tha bishop's charge to the Ontario Synod | | on Tuesday afternoon. = | It arose out of the Archdeacon i | Dobbs' report for 1923 of the gen- | eral missions fund. This showed | | that while fifteen parishes exceed- ed their apportionment and thirteen | | fulfilled their obligations, eighteen gave three-quarters of what was ask- | | ed and thirteen gave less than one | half. If an improvement could not | be made this year there would be a | deficit of about $2,000. The banner place in the diocese 'was won by St. Paul's Brookville, which gave | | $430.30 in excess of its apportion- | ment. St. James', Kingston, was | among those giving more than was | asked. The total apportioned for this year is $19,320, Archdeacon Dobbs made an earn- j est appeal for better support of this | | fund, especially by those in arrears. | | Canon Woodcock, Trinity church { Brockville, rose to speak strongly in | | the matter, moving that a visiting | | committee be appointed to investl-| | gate and overcome the shortages, If | | possible. Besides claiming that ta | laymen and not the clergy should We { held responsible for this task of tha | parishes, he said . that it was ot fair that some parishes should have | to make up for shortages of others, | some of the wealthier parishes being among the latter. It was also unfair that the M.8.C.C. (Foreign Missions) cheque should be left to the last. R. { J. Carson seconded Canon Wood- | cock's motion. In the lengthy discussion which followed, some of the delegates argu- ed that the M.8.C.C. should not be | Ieft to the tall end of the lst, while other stressed the importance of home missions and the funds for | widows, orphans and superannuated | clergy, which also come out of the | general missions fund.

Scott missionary meetings when addresses | 80d George B. Smith, Christ Church, were often given by missionaries. | The church also had a special officer | to look after this work. While com- | plimenting St. Paul's, Canon Jones | pointed out that it was a city church | and was not selling r:ilk or raising | pigs to get the money. Rural dela | gates present spoke of the difficulty of getting missionary speakers and missionary material. Dean Starr, Rev. T. W. Savary and Rev. A. L. McTear also urged the im- portance of missions. The Bishop, speaking on the quea- tion hoped that if a committee were appointed it would eee its way through. He said that most of the parishes which were short were not tual défaulters. He hoped also that the clergy would do thelr part as well as the laymen. He had often thought that the M.S.C.C., ap- pportionment was so high that the dio- cese could never reach it, he preferred to have it so and\have tha diocese do its best. He also stressed the importance of the widows' and Orphans' Fund and the clergy supe-- annuation, neither of which could be neglected. A revised motion, moved by Rev. C. E. Clarke (Belleville) and Rev. A. F. C. Whalley (Brockville), leaving the matter and the committee to the executive committee, was carried without opposition. Certain missionary literature re- commenced by Archdeacon Dobbs and Rev. Mr. Savary, is to be priat- ed for use in the Diocese.

Carson and adopted, sald the offich was being as economically managed as advisable, recommended that as- sessments of the different parishes should be paid on or before Decem- ber 31st and that the secretary as- sistant's salary be increased.
