In his address in the afternoon, `Rev. Mr. Padey reviewed the history `of the work of the denomination in- this part of Canada from its start in 1776, when the rst church was founded at.Beamsville. Other church-` es were organized through the fol- `lowing years` and in 1838 the Baptist College at Montreal was established-. but was later abandoned. After--1851 the Church began to get. on its feet gand in .1852 the rstconvention was Iheld. In 1860 Woodstock College. `was founded and the denominationi [had then increase d to 16,000'-mem- gbers, a growth of about seventy-five] 1 per cent. in ten years. In 1866 for-} [sign mission work was begun and the ;foreign mission board was organized.` (in 1874. The next ten years was ai, `period of consolidation and in that} time McMaster University and Mnul-1 lton College were established.

He also stressed the work of church extension and stated that 476 chapels have been built by the home mission department and that in ,the coming year a number of new `churches will be planted in Northern Ontario. Mr. Warner. also drew at- tention to the number of commun- ities in the Western Provinceswhere lthere is no` religious preaching or. `teaching. - 1 .'Da~n-rminni Q-A Flu: nundr all-nnnnr` luau Idle WUIVIU, IIC UUIIUIIIUCU, auuyul U51` rain out that `purpose;-He gave His c ie attention- to the will and affec- tion of _man -rather than to the in- tellect. He" considered it signicant that Christ said so` little about the church and so much about the indiv- idual. He started His mission and [left it to the Apostles to" carry put . His purpose and to set whatever form of i - ecclesiastical organization was l5st suited to carry it out. That puts the`church in the position of a meansto an end _and.not an end in itself, .as_ some people mistakenly think. It has `sometimes happened, . said Prof. T Tracey, that the church 'has `been, the` foe of freedom and progress and has sought to crush the individual`-itwas created to redeem. imr'i`he work` of the denomination: rsaid Mr.~Padey, centres around the; lindividual. Next 'comes the? local` Tchurch with its various societies and I then the convention and the church `boards. In conclusion, he `made a.
