oely wished his lett 00-tiburchwarien were alive and
present to see them, he knew ha would bare been
thorough gratified. He (Mr. Bartlett) believed they
had done everything, with the rector's help, not Only
to get the reosipts Increased, but also to keen
down the expenditure. The actual receipt. for
the peat year had been £312 6.. 61., eiroln't
£7.85 Os. 21. In the year 1882. That showed an in. '
crease of £27 6e. 44. Now that woo m,de tip2la a
measure, by the increase of the 09 ot . e.
againet 82.54 16.. 21.—which he di alght was very
satisfactory. He did not mean to say but what there
was plenty of room for complaint- because (and he
did not say it personally) be knew the gentlemen who
helped him to collect grumbled just as mu, h he
did, and they said the plate paseed from one to
another without a single coin being dropped in,
both morning and evening. So they wool.' WM
with him there was plenty of room for improve-
ment, both with regard to parishioners and irdiv
parishimers They had no pew rents and no oburoh
rat..; they depended entirely upon the c dim:Slone to
the chinch. He wadi happy to say that the balance
doe to the churchwardens of £26 had been entirely
cleared off, and there was now a balance in their
favour of Ell Be. 11. Since they met last year. Um

got £ll 4.. 101,, the dividend of three per cent.

Invested. This, be thought, showed a benvfit. With
regard to the tradesmen's idle last year, unfortunately
there were reasons for it, they reduced the expenditnre
with the tradesmen from £49 12s. 101. to £2l 91 4 I.
Mr. D avis aril himself talked witll the Hector about the
collections at the miselonery serilose. ant they hal
been Tattooed from £57 6 4 31. to 819 19e. 61. On the
other hand, the reoeipts b.i been inoreseed c inalter-
ably ; they hal studied ea iuomy in tie expenditure,
end their receipts had ben larger. He preseutel
the accounts and the ric,ipted bills for any
parishioner to iLspect. The total amount of
the receipts is the past year bad been
£.112 64. 61., and there was a balance in band
of £ll 64. 8.1. As the Rector's Chiatioellor of the
li:chequer for the present, be might say he had shown
them the bright side of the situation ; but be was
sorry to say there had been • bugbear hawing over
them fur a loom time, and that was a bill owing to a
tradesman of this tows, who it. might say was a very
forbearing man—it was the debt owing to Mr. Hegel.
lo the year 1881 there was a balance in their favour
of £9 12a. 5i., and is 1882 £26. They c itsll not at
that time we their way to clearing it off entirely, at
all erects they reduced it to £2O, and that 411 still
owing. He therefore proposed to ask the Vestry that
night out of the balance of £ll Ge. 81. which was now

then he would undertake himself is order to get the
account settled, to pay the balance of the other £lO In
three months. Mr. Hazel ought t) be paid;

had taken credit already too long. He (Mr. kisz,i)
would understand It; he had boon offered to be paid

make any Limits. He therefore submitted his pro-

Mr. HOLUM) said be thought there was e private
entwoription to meet the expense on the rails, and the
RECTOR replied: So there was, but, unfortunately,
they did not rooms forward to a sufficient extent. The

Mr. Amos Loot said al tines were hot his

moving their adoption. He hsi great pleasure in
doing so, and he bad also re d p!eagure in fioding he
was not t.king over the burden of a great number of
debts. Mr. Burnett he,' assured him there wee only
this outstanding liability of Mr. Hazel's, and be was
quite sore it could be paid ufl within the time Mr.
Burnett had stated. He agreed with Mr. &moat
that although there w•• • satisfactory increase lu the

sod he cJuld aseur. them th.it the number of pinnate
who cam• to the servixee, and evidently enjoyed
them, and yet who did not subscribe anything towards
the church maintenance, was astounding. He thought
if the rector were again to remind them from the pulpit
Hist the church wen entirely supported by the volnu-
tary contributions of the congregation, it might be
beneficial. He bogged to move that Mr. Burnett's
proposition that Kr. Hazel be at once paid CIO, and
that the ohurchwardens undertake to pay the rent
within three month., be adopted,

Mr. ARTHUR LOU : I hardly know. I think 'I

of the collection.; he was afraid be had appealed to
them so oats that they had got quite ;Allots to his
appeal. Still there was not the slightest doubt,
although they had very mph to be thankful for, and
although they were happy to think they had. balance
on the right side, yet he quite 'greed with what Mr.
Burnett and Mr. Look had said. There was not the
slightest doubt that their off 'dory, J edging from the
congregations, ought to be very much larger than it
we, and it was a fact, and thaw gentlemen who
