The Bishop occupied the pulpit in the Cathedral in the morning and pointed out the great lack of spiritual ministrations in many |parts of his diocese. He instanced cases where missions had not had a resident priest for more than two Canon Smart in the evening gave the history of Queen's College, and told his hearers that although the bishop had no wealthy friends in England to give him the funds he required for the training of clergy he had what was still better, the love and sympathy of 80,000 people who he felt sure when the anxiety of the bishop for the spiritual welfare of his flock became known to them, would give every dollar he was asking for. At St. Thomas* Canon Bolt dealt in a very able manner with the great problem of the supply and training of the clergy, showing what an impor-< tant part/ the college had'played in the work of the church in this country and that more than half the j clergy in the diocese to-day had been trained within its walls. In the evening the Rev. A. E Tulk preached to a large congregation and made a strong appeal for greater support for Queen's.

B, S| Sterling gave a most inspiring ad- j dress to the 11 o'clock congregation, j and showed that among the many pressing needs of the present the; supply of living agents to minister to j those living in lonely corners of the diocese must come first. Dr. Facey in the evening tojd his hearers that 9 men had been wait- i ing at the doors of the college for I over a year to begin their training, but that owing to the high cost of living it was impossible to meet the expense of keeping the college open out of the present income. To-day a letter from the bishop is being sent to every home in the city and next Sunday the collection for the college will be taken up. Of the $70,000 required for the endowment, St. John's is being asked to contribute $20,000.
