REPORT OF MINISTERS AND SESSION

T o the Member; of T rinily Church and Congregalion.‘—

_It.is with feelings of profound gratitude to God and keen ap- prec1ation of the good Will and hearty co-operation of the people, that we present our Report at the close of another year.

The promise of two years ago, when we first began to live and work together as a united people, has been more than realized, and a steady growth in character and service has been evident as the months have gone by.

Throughout the year large and appreciative congregations have kindled the preacher’s heart and ton ue, and the uniformly excellent service of the Organist and Choir as added much to the interest and effectiveness of our Sabbath worship.

Trinity Church, Charlottetown, has a Chair of which any Church in any city might well feel proud, and to Professor Fletcher and those associated with him in the ministry of song, we all, ministers and people, owe a debt which it would be impossible to

av. P The Broadcm'ling of the Sunday Services has been continued throughout the year, and many letters of grateful a preciation have been received, not only from the "Shut-in" mem ers of the Congregation, but also from various points in P. E. 1., Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. In this way we are enlarging the influence of the church, and we have reason to believe that many in our Radio Audience have been cheered and encouraged thereby.

The Wednwa’ay evening Jervicem also have been well sustained and have proved a source of strength and inspiration to many.

The demands made upon the ministers by such a large Con- gregation are so many and so constant, that they have not been able to attempt any ong series of Special Services; but they feel assured that in the ordinary activities of the Church much good has been done, and they are convinced that more and more we must look to theme as the most fruitful field from which to gather recruits for the Kingdom and the Church.

In the Sunday School, with its various departments, faithful and effective work has been done; and personally we feel that we

if we were to speak at any lengt

of-the excellent work of the W.

M. S., the Ladies' Aid, the Dorcas Society, the Willing Circle of

Kings Daughters, etc., all of which have contributed much to the success of the year. We appreciate and commend them all.

We are glad also to be able to report that while both Spiritually and Financiallv we have had a good year at home, the world-Wide [alarm-Lt of the Kingdom have been ever in mind, and our full allot- ment of $6000 has been subscribed and paid to the Maintenance

and Extension Fund of the Church.

During the year the Session has suffered the loss by death of one of its most esteemed members, Mr. I. J. Bethune, and several other valued members of the Congregation have llkerSe been

called to their eternal reward. we extend our Sincere sympathy.

To the bereaved and the suffering

"And now, brethren, we commend you to God and to the

word of His grace."

The outlook for the future is bright, and in the opinion of your ministers it was never brighter than it is to-day. In this optimistic

spirit let us go forward.
