The proceedings opened with a hymn and prayer, after which the business of the meeting was com- mencod.
In presenting the annual report Mr. Purves stated that during the past year, although work had been good, there was a falling away of attendance which was not encouraging, but it was hoped that this would improve..
The report, he continued, dealt with improvements in the church and properties generally.
The social activities of the year were reviewed and regret way ex- pressed that bathing picntes hád, to be abandoned owing to high Costs and the trouble developing from the strike and boycott.
"The Finances."
On the financial aide, owing to a substantial balance having been carried forward from last year and assuming that collections and subscriptions would be equal, it had been decided to reduce the subsidy from the Mother Church from $100 to $75
Colicctions per month.
and subscriptions, however,. had shown a decrense, and the balance on the year was therefore small. So that obligations tould be met and the Finance Committee, for the forthcoming year would not he handicapped, it was decided to fix the annual subscription at $15.
This, as Д resolution, was adopted.
Three marriages were celc- brated during the year and 13 baptisms were carried out.
"
The balamce sheet, presented by Mr. Warren, showed an income of $6,887, with minister's stipend and house allowance $1,560, and sundry items which left a balance at the bank of $31.79 on December" 1,

Rugby, Dec. 15.
The House of Lords last night discussed Industrial peace, on a motion of Lord Wier, who advocat- ed a round-table conference of om- .ployers and workers for unfettered discussion of the present condition of trade, with a view of restoring their successful co-operation to secure a revival
¡Lord Cecil for the Government welcomed the proposal, and while admitting that the distrust which lay at the root of the evil must be eliminated; he declared the sentiment of partnership could only be created by giving the workmen not only a share in pro- fits or even in capital but a voice. in the general direction of indus- triės.
Dolcs for Miners.
The end of the coal stoppage re- moves the disqualification under which miners unemployed through a trade dispute were excluded from unemployment benefit, and most of the men not yet re-engaged are now on the register. This increase is reflected in the unemployment returns for last week, which show. ed a total of 1,506,000 unemploy ed, representing over 10,000 in- crease on the previous week.
A Withdrawal.
A ballot of the National Union of Seamen, which has been pro- ceeding for three months, resulted in an overwhelming majority for dissociating their organisation from all political afliations. The Union will therefore sever it's as- sociation with the Labour Party British Wireless.
