come has increased from S29O,OOO to
S436, 900; the number of candidates for
the ministry largely increased; the
burden of debt of many of the churches
greatly lessened, and in some cases en-
tirely removed, and that no fewer than
nine new churches and chapels have
been erected.

/ of SIS. Peter and Paul have been in
creased by five acres and the property
and endowment holdings have been in
creased by $1,250,0e0. The boys school
| in connection Herewith has been
opened and the girls school now has
long waiting list. The first part of
the edifice has been reared and funds
| for its continuation have been pro-
vided, which amount to 100000. That
Bishop Harding's personality has played
prominent part in all of these inn
provements and activities is the con-
