Thereto.
MONTREAL, Nov. 3O.-This mornino the
| governor general has been receiving callers.
| and the clergy, of Protestant denomina-
tons, are preparing to present an address.
The following is the address of the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church which
Rev. DR.. Jenkins, the moderator, will pre
sent:
Nav it please your excellency, in the name
of the general assembly of the Presbyterian
| church in NADIA, and of the synods, pres-
| byteries and congregations under its charge,
| We beg to offer to your excellency our most
| respectful and cordial welcome on your excel
lency's arrival in Canada as the represents
tiyes of our most gracious sovereign. We
hail with entire satisfaction the appointment
of your excellency as governor general of
| the Dominion of Canada, the more
SO that this appointment secures the
presence IN Canada of her royal hiehness,
| Princess Louise, daughter of our reyered
queen and your excellency's illustrious con-
sort. In approaching your excellencies on
this auspiclous occasion it gives us pleasure
to state that the Presbyterian church in Can
ada, In whose name we speak, represents the
| church of Scotland, the United PRESBYTERIAN
church and Free Church of Scotland, and
| that 1t SO includes representatives of the
Presbyterian church of Ireland and of the
| English Presbyterian church, constituting
until lately four distinct and ind pendent
Canadian churches, but now happily united
in one Presbyterian church, having an eocle-
| siastic jurisdiction coextensive with the Do
m1nlon, forasmuch as we embody Canadian
sections of three historic churches, we cannot
but rejoice to see amongst US the person Of
your excellency, representative of the noble
and ancient house of Argyle, house which,
in so many of its distinguished members,
has been closely and honorably identified
with the most momentous periods in the his
tory of Scotland, and whose patrial per
sonal sacrifices have largely helped to secure
to the Scottish people those signal liberties,
both civil and religious, which they now en-
JOY. That Almighty God may vonchsafe to
your exceiency end to her royal highness
every earthly blessing, and may so guido
your excellency's administration that it may,
in all respects, tend to the welfare of her
majesty's Canadian subjects, is our earnest
prayer,
On behalf of the Presbyterian church in
Canada. (Signed) JOHN JENKINS, d. D.,
Moderator of the General Assembly.
Gen. Stevenson, in behalf of St. Andrews
society, also presented an address.
His excellepNcy, who spoke impromptu,
expressed his thanks, and those of the prin-
cess, for the more than kindly welcome re-
ceived. He pleasantly remarked, that since
leaving Great Britain they had been under
the special guardianship of Scotchmen. At
Halifax they were taken in charge, he was
happy to say, not only by his fellow-c oun-
trymen, but all races that go to make up
Canadian people. Englishmen loved their
Scotch brethren, no doubt, because they got
a king from Scotland. France, their song,
because, at one time, the first regiment in
the French army We're Scots. Irishmen, be-
cause Scotland was only really an Irish
colony. Yet he thought that Ireland might
feel as proud of Scotland as Great Britain
did of Canada.
! The following address was also presented:
We, ministers and elders of the Presbv-
terrain church of Canada, in connection with
the church of Scotland in special meeting of
the Synod assembled, hasten to offer our
very heartlest and most respectful welcome
to your e1cellency and Her Royal Highness.
Princess Louise,on your arrival in Canada to
assume the exalted position of its governor
general. 1t is with feelings of liveliest sat
isfaction we hail the representative of her
majesty in this Dominion as chief repre-
sentative of one of the most ancient and
illustrious of the families of our Scotch no.
blllty, and in his consort a member of the
royal family itself. We remember with un-
mingled pleasure the great privilege we were
permitted years ago of partaking of the SER
vice OF praise and prayer held in St.
Andrews church, Montreal, an outpouring of
divine blessing upon your excellency's aus
} plclous union with one of the family of our
beloved sovereign queen. 1t seemed pecu-
LARRY lifting on that occasion SO frought
with happiness that the Canadian branch of
the church of Scotland should testify it's
profound interest in the event so gratifying,
not only to the empire at large, but most
particularly to that portion of it whose his
tory and progress the name of your excel
, lency's family has been all along indelibly
associated. AS Scottish churchmen, we
recognize with pride your loyal attachment
to the church of Scotland, and which has
ever characterized our 10y to know how much
the services of our dear old mother church
are appreciated by her majesty, whom we
cheerfully acknowledge as the temporal head
OF both the national churches of Scotland
and England. That every blessing may at
tend your excellency and her royal highness
! IS our earnest prayer.

MIR. MODERATOR Accept nv best thauks
for the loyal address with which you have
been good enough to welcome our arrival in
Canada. 1t is very gratifying to me to re-
celYe at the hands of the ministers and cid
ers OF the Canadian branch of the church of
Scotland, the assurance that on the occasion
OF my marriage they were good enough to
remember the princess and myself aud to
celebrate that event by q special service in
st. Andrews church. Being well acquainted
with the history of the church OF Scotland. I
can understand that its children in distant
regions should desire to perpetuate it's prin-
ciples and government, all of wn1ch am
glad to think are calculated to promote the
cause OF peace, charity and order throughout
the world. beg to thank you for the kind
expressions contained in your address in ref
erence to the princess and myself.
