The eighth item of business was the “Canadian Mission Report.” Rev. J. R. Mackay briefly reported the steps that had been taken to send out a deputy this summer to the Canadian Mission field. Several of the ministers who had hitherto not been deputies were asked to go, but none of them found it convenient. The Rev. Donald Macleod, who had been last in Canada, was then asked, and he had very generously consented to go again for a period of four or five months, and was now on his journey. He stated that they had encouraging reports from Winnipeg of the services that had been conducted there for some time by Mr. William Matheson, student, who was expected to come across for his studies in Divinity this winter. The Clerk moved the adoption of the Report. The motion was seconded by the Rev. Neil Cameron, and agreed to. Rev. J. R. Mackay moved, and the Rev. D. Beaton seconded, that the Committee of the Canadian Mission for the ensuing year should consist of the Revs. D. Macfarlane, E. Macqueen, and Mr. Alexander Gray, elder, Mr. Macqueen to be Convener. The motion was agreed to.
