cuap.1] THE CHURCH IN THE DOMINIONS 1451 his successor should only receive salary till the expiration of the said five years. But a minister in receipt of a salary at the taking effect of the Act, who at any time resigned his post in order to accept a vacancy where the previous incum- bent was also in receipt of such salary, was to receive until death or resignation the same salary from public funds as his predecessor in the vacancy. In 1910 four members of the Church of England, and four members of the Dutch Reformed Church were still receiving allowances in accordance with that Act. Nothing was paid in Natal. In the Orange River Colony in 1909-10 a sum of £8,380 was spent on religious services, divided between the Dutch Reformed Church, the Church of England, the Reformed Church, the Wesleyan Church, the Presbyterian Church, the Lutheran Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Hebrew Congregation, and the Baptist Church. In the Transvaal the expenditure on religious services has been in connexion with hospitals, lunatic and leper asylums, convict and other prisons, with £20,000 to repair the ravages of the war. In Canada payments were made only in respect of prison and asylum services by the Dominion Government, and by the Provincial Governments of Ontario, New Brunswick, Manitoba, and British Columbia. But it must be remembered that the Catholic Church in Quebec still enjoys all the privileges conferred on it by the Quebec Act of 1774! and that an ultramontane Legislature in 18882 made good to the Jesuits the property of which they were deprived in 1763. The Act was much opposed in Canada, outside Quebec, but the Dominion Government no doubt rightly declined to inter- fere with a very marked exercise of provincial autonomy. It may be added that in New Zealand education is now purely secular, that in New South Wales, Western Australia, and Tasmania there is no denominational teaching, but Christian doctrines are taught, and clergymen are permitted ' See Quebec Revised Statutes, 1909, Tit. ix. See Provincial Legislation, 1867-95, pp. 407 seq., for the petitions against the Act, and cf. Willison, Str Wilfrid Laurier, i. 258 seq.
