LOWER PROVINCES OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.
THE SYNOD met in Primitive Church, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, June 25, 1867, and was opened with a discourse by Rev. JAMES BENNETT, A.M., from St. Luke xxiii. 14: "And behold, I having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him."
WILLIAM MCCULLOCH, D.D., was elected Moderator.
MINISTERIAL SUPPORT.-The committee having this matter in charge recommended, That $600 with a MANSE, or, $650 without a manse, be the minimum salary-that with a view of securing this object, and also for raising the income of ministers in small congregations, a separate fund be originated, to be called the "Supplementary Fund, ," and to be kept distinct from the funds of the Home Missions Committee.
SEMINARY FOR YOUNG WOMEN.-The committee having this subject under consideration reported; when it was resolved, That the report be sent down to the Presbyteries and sessions, with instructions to consider the same and to report to next Synod, when the subject shall come up for final disposal; and in order to carry out this decision, it was agreed to continue the committee to gather information respecting the expense and mode of conducting such institutions in other parts of this Province and in other lands; and to send down to the Presbyteries and sessions the results of their inquiries, not later than Jan. 1, 1868.

HAVING entered upon this labor, it must go on until the end I have in view is reached, and every Presbyterian minister is living in a MANSE; and this "consummation, so devoutly to be wished" for, can soon be accomplished if the people will only ask this question and govern themselves accordingly: "WHAT DOES THE GOLDEN RULE REQUIRE OF US?" No labored argument is demanded to frame the reply, for the "still small voice" of an awakened conscience will give the scriptural response: "WHATSO
EVER YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO YE EVEN SO TO THEM."
but This is the rule to govern our intercourse with all how strong becomes the emphasis when applied to the relations between a minister and his people! This practical way of viewing the subject has not been done to any large extent, and the consequence is, that whilst the ministers of the Presbyterian churches in the United States number thousands, the MANSES only number hundreds.
This disproportion does not appear in Scotland, Ireland, or in the Dominion of Canada, and it will disappear from the United States just as soon as the importance and necessity for a change is felt and acted upon.
To my mind having long had the MANSE question under
I would state that in my Almanac for 1862 will be found the result of special inquiries on this subject and some remarks upon the results of said inquiries, in 1863. The state of the Church is given. being also the result of specific inquiries and examinations; in subsequent volumes I show the losses sustained by the tax thus unequally laid upon the ministry, and the distress caused by the failure on the part of the people to make provision for their ministers and families. The reader will therefore bear in mind that whilst the following article is somewhat general in its character, the statements and conclusions are founded upon reliable data.
