Fund the sum of five dollars per annum ; shall observe the directions from time to time given by the Lord v.ishop of the Diocese, in respect of the collections to be made on behalf of the Widows and Orphans Fund, unless i^uch Clergyman shall have been excused by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese in writing, under his hand, from making sucb collection or collec- tions, in any church, chapel or station served by him ; but it is essential to the stability and prosperity of this Fund, so as to meet the demands that may be hereafter made upon it, that every Cleravman in the Diocese should contribute towards its mainte- nance ; and it is therefore hereby declared, that any Clergyman refusing to become a subscriber, or neglecting to make the annual collections in his parish or mission (except as above stated) shall not be entitled to any benefits of the Fund for his widow or or- 13 phans. Should, liowover, any Clergyman fail to becomo a member, and afterwards desire to join it, he shall make application to the Executive Committee, through the "Widows and Orphans Fund Committee," and, if the Executive Committee should favourably recoivo his application, it can only be on payment of all back sub- scriptions. 4.

One quarter's salary shall be granted to the family of a deceased Clergyman from any funds controlled by the Synod, but such grant shall be confined to those Clergymen whose salary has been paid from any funds of which the Synod had the control and was the almoner, and dating from the expiration of the quarter in which the decease occurs ; and the stated pension to the widow or children shall begin from the expiration of the quarterly pay- ment, and shall continno as long as the widow shall remain unmarried. In the event of marrying again, the question of oontinuation of annuity shall be re-considerod. And la case such widow shall have one or more children at the tim'! of her hus- band's decease — the lawful issue of lier marriage with hiin — she shall for each and every such child, not exceeding four in number, be entitled to receive twenty dollars per annum, payable at such times and in such manner as has been before provided for the payment of the annuities of widows without childreu. The widow and orphans of any Clergyman of this Diocese who would have a right to participate in tlie fund in the case of the death of such Clergyman shall not be deprived of such right I 14 I by reason of the election and appointment of such Clergyman to the office of Bishop of this Diocese, and such widow and orphans shall have the right to participate in the fund, on the death of such Bishop, provided he be not in arrears and continue to remit to the Treasurer the annuiil contribution of five dollars up to the time of his death. All annuities paid for children shall cease on the day at which they attain the age of eighteen years : provided always that in the case of the death of such widow before the children have attained the above age of eighteen years, the annuity of such children shall be increased to forty dollars per annum for each and every such child until they attain the above mentioned age. And in case of the Clergyti-au deceased leaving no widow, but leaving children, then such cliildren shall enjoy the annuity as above provided. But as circumstances may occur to cause this Fund to fluctuate in its amount, the Executive Committee may, on receiving a special report from the Widows and Orphans Fund Committee, regarding such Fund, increase or diminish the annuity of widows and orphans, should it appear advisable or necessary so to do. 6. As it is just and equitable that when any such clergyman shall in future mai-ry a lady many years younger than himself, and thereby in the common course of events leave a widow for many years drawing her pension, and so become a heavy burden on the Fund, the following ac;ile of fines shall be established as a Eule of the Synod for all under such circumstances. 7. From 25 to 30 £0 30 to 40 1 40 to 50 2 50 to 60 3 60 to 70 4 70 and upwards... 6 8. Every widow, or the guardians of any of the orphans of a Clergyman desiring annuities from ihe Widows and Orphans Fund, shall apply by memorial to the Synod for such annuity^ setting forth the time of decease of such Clergyman, the name of such widow, and the names and ages of each of the children, as the case may be. 15s. 10 Od. ■] For every year more than five 2 3 4 years that the 'wife is younger than the hus- 6 band. 9.

That the corner-stone of the foundation of every such church or chapel shall be laid by the Lori Bishop of the Diocese or by his commissary, or by sueh other person as he may nam .av^eord- 32 ing to the forms, usai^c and practices of the Church of EQ^land in Canada; and before the laying thereof the title deedn ofsiid property conveying tlie same to the Rector, Incumbent or other legal authorities of the Church, Parish or Mission, or to the said Lord Bishop, for the purposes of said Parish or Mission, or of the Church of England in his Diocese, shall first have been duly executed. 3.
