On the discontinuance of the services of the Commissioner, Mr. Evelyn Macrae, the Committee resolved:

"The Executive Committee of the Anglican Forward Movement desires to place on record its deep appreciation of the services rendered the Church of England throughout the Dominion of Canada by Mr. Evelyn Macrae, Dominion Commissioner of the A. F. M. The Executive realizes the immense difficulty of the task arising, not only out of the work itself, but particularly out of the difficult financial conditions extending over the whole. period of the collection of the Fund. Only unusual business capacity, wisdom and tact, as well as devotion to the task, could have brought out of such conditions the great success of the whole undertaking.

"To Mr. Macrae, the Executive Committee extends, in the name of the Church, its hearty thanks and deep appreciation."

In submitting this, its final report, the Committee would place on record its deep sense of indebtedness to all those who, during the stages of organization of the fund, of canvassing for the appeal, of collections of subscriptions, so loyally and wholeheartedly co-operated with the efforts of the Committee. Without these, and their name is legion, the fund could not have been successful.

The Committee, in particular, places on record its indebtedness to the Honorary General Treasurer of the Fund, Mr. J. A. Worrell, K.C., LL.D. The universal confidence of the Church, in the Honorary General Treasurer, was of untold value to the Committee and to the fund itself. The Committee feels that the least it can do, to give expression to this sense of its indebtedness, is to recommend the General Synod to appoint, from the members of the Synod, a Sub-Committee to draft a suitable resolution of thanks, the same to be formally adopted by the Synod and printed in the Journal of Proceedings; and that a copy suitably engrossed be presented in its name to the Honorary General Treasurer, A. F. M., J. A. Worrell, Esq., K.C., LL.D.

Your Committee finally recommends that the Executive Committee of the M. S. C. C. be authorized to distribute, in accordance with the A. F. M. Appeal, such receipts as will come in on subscriptions still unpaid.

On behalf of the Committee,

September 19th, 1924.

Auditor's Report, A.F.M.

The Chairman and Members,
The Executive Committee,
Anglican Forward Movement,
Church House,

Toronto.

Gentlemen,

5th August, 1924.

I beg to report that I have audited the books and accounts of the Dominion Headquarters of the Anglican Forward Movement for the year ending 31st July, 1924. The audit prior to 31st March, 1923, was made by Mr. Sydney H. Jones and from that date to 31st July, 1923, by Mr. H. Mortimer, C.A. and myself.

Attached hereto please find Statement of Receipts and Disbursements of the Anglican Forward Movement from its inception to 31st July, 1924, with schedules showing details of the main items entering into this statement.

I have verified the bank balances and have seen a letter from the bank in which it states that it holds shares, par value $1,000.00, registered in the name of the Treasurer, Anglican Forward Movement. These shares are held as security against an unpaid subscription, but no dividends from them have been received since July, 1922.

There was at this date a diamond, held by one of the leading jewellers and valued at three hundred dollars approximately.

All of the transactions for the period of the audit coming under my notice were, in my opinion, in order and, in the course of my audit, I saw the necessary supporting vouchers for them.

Respectfully submitted,

CHAS. EDDIS, F.C.A.,

Chartered Accountant.
