Excerpt from The Report of the Colonial Committee: For the Year From April 1862 to April 1863

Deeming that their assistance, so far as Canada 1n particular ls concerned, has always been mainly due to those pioneers who are carrying culture into the wilderness, the Committee have been steadily endeavouring to reduce, both in number and amount, their grants in aid of stipend to formed congregations, and to encourage the reliance of these on their own resources. Ready still to consider, on its own mer1ts, every claim that may be made on their help, even though it should come from a con siderable township, where also diﬂ'iculties do emerge, they have striven to detach themselves, as far as possible, from the better occupied regions of the colony, and to move on with those struggling settlers who are invading the forest, and extending the area of population and industry. While, accordingly, the number of such grants, most of them diminished since the pre vicus year, has fallen to about six, four building funds have been subsidized, and four missionar1es have, since the date of the last Report, been sent by the Committee to this province of our empire. Mr Wilson, who went to the presbytery of Mon treal, having accepted a call to a fixed charge at Lanark, has been succeeded as a missionary by Mr Cochrane; Mr Stott has been ass1gned to the presbytery of Toronto; and Mr Burnett has received a comm1ss1on to the presbytery of Guelph, which has recently been detached from the presbytery of Hamilton, C. W.
