SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
Rev. Mr. McMullen, Woodsteck, sented the report ot the Committee on } bath Observance, which second international Conference last year at Berne, Switzerland, of the Lord’s Day Defence Societies, at which nearly all! the civilized nations and many of the European sovereigns were represented. ‘The first attempt to intreduce Sunday concerts into
Sab-
Canada were promptly put down, greatly
ito the satisfaction of the religious people ot the country. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ASSEMBLY. The universal feeling in the Assembly is! ithat this has been the most pleasaut imeet- ing since the Union. The good people ef ‘Kingston teok a deep interest in the pro-
‘ceedings, and their noapitety has beeu
| unbounded. The ening meetings! ‘have been well aitunded fhe spirit |of the Assembly has been good, and ¢ Hl the jdiseussions have been characterized by
\forbearance and good humor. | Business |has beer done expeditiously, seventy items |having been disposed of in eight days. The old lines are fast becoming obi ite tated, and ithe work of consolidation is well nigh com- ipleted. <A pleas sant and profitable meeting | of the Assembly closed a prosperous eecle- | siastical year.

Certain changes in the rule governing the administration of the fund are recommended hy the Committee. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FOR LADIES.
Y owng ladies in Ontario who wish to be- come Bachelors of Arts have ample facili- ties for gratifying their anibition. Queen’s University admits them to leckuréay e@kaini- nations, scholarships, and degrees*on the! game terms as young men. © Six-attended jectures last session. The University of | Toronte holgls, ws ul ti in the Young Ladies af, gr Dr: i teen students of s institut have already passed the examinati edited of the groups of the first vanes for matriculation, the Assembly expressed Hs gratification to find that the loeal exawina- tions of the Toronto University held in the college have been attended with such marked success, reflecting credit alike on the siudenis and teaching staff. It is hoped the cvilege will soon be endowed, and so theroughly equipped as toearry on the edu- cation of young ladies to a iull university course. The autherities of the institution desire to make university work a speciality. His Excellency the Gevernor-General oliers a medal for the most successful candidate at the University examination for matricula- tien. The Principal, Mr. T. M. McIntyre, is in fullsympathy with our educational system, and wishes to bring the Ladies’ College into line with our public educational j institutions.
INTEMPERANCE.
Returns of Preshyteries shows that in- temperance ia stili rampant except in a few favored localities ; but that on the whole it ia on the decrease. the prevalent intemperance are the treat-
custom, hereditary predisposition, idieness, ignorance. Every phase evil end unhappiness is ascribed to intem- perance. In view of returns the

these
Committee eensider it necessary that the Chuecch should take definite action, The reports show that but few liquor sellers are inthe membership or the Chureh. From the reports it is believed that about hali the members of the Chureh are total ab-
stainers, and that the majority of the min- isters are stich. Referring to temperance legislation, the Committee report that re- strictive laws have on the whole a gox efiect. in somé pleces in the Maritime Provinces the traflic has become thoreughly disreputable. The Committee believe that te speak ef total abstinence as one of the coiamandments and mot as a matier of Christian’ expediency, was likely co harm. It was most desirab‘e to aveid all extremes in dealing with this subject. The Cominittee recommend that the Assembly resolve to revew their testimony that the evilef intemperance is a great hindrance to the Church’s work, and resolve to do all possible to suppress it ; to recommend total abstinence the
best. prineiple fer the guidance of individuals ;
oi
iw
as to recommend the congregations by means of pledge books, etc., to endeavour to promote total abstin- ence, particularly among the young; and that the Assembly resolve that total abstin- ence is correct in principle ; and that Pres- byteries and Sessions be directed to hold conferences upon this subject, and express the view that the Scett Act is correct in principle, and that any changes made should be in the direction of further re- striction and more effective working of the | Act. £OME STATISTICS.
The report of the Committee on Statistics shows the number of pastoral charges in 7 |\ Canada to be 730, an increase of fifteen, or adding these of Manitoba, 767—an increase of 27. The number of vacancies is 53,three fewer than last year’s report,or seven fewer if we take into account four that were in Presbytery of Manitoba. The total number of ministers is 653, or adding 32 for Mani- toba, there are 675, which shows 26 more than for the previous year. Reports have been received from 916 congregations and mission stations, which is a long way in ad-
