In accordance with the notice given to the friends and helpers of the Columbia Mission in the last Report, the Report now issued embraces the operations of a longer period than usual, in order that ii; f«)ture it may come out early instead of late in the year. It will be seen by the Balance-sheet that the amount collected for the year ending 3 1st December, 18GG, has been 1,365^. 12«. 2d.,* while the home expenses have been 293/. Qs. 9d., and the sum drawn out for the purposes of the Mission has been 2,750/. ds. Gd.; making a total of 3,043/. 10«. M. The progress of the Mission during the past year has not been marked by the commencement of any new fields of labour. The want of funds and clergy has caused several important mining districts to remain unvisited, while many openings amongst the heathen still call aloud upon the Church to enter in and occupy in the name of the Lord. Indeed, the state of the British possessions on the Pacific has during the last t' > years been one of anxiety. Political agitation has injured the temporal affairs of the colony ; a commercial panic has added to the depression and caused the departure of a considerable number of persons. Though the Church has suffered much less than could have been expected, yet incomes derived from investments have been reduced, and the colonists have been prevented from assisting the work of God amongst them to the extent they could wish and necessity required. In proof of the special difficulties in the way of planting our Christianity on the shores of the Pacific, it may be mentioned, that partly owing to the depression alluded to, so common in nc'y countries, and partly to the fickle character of the popula- tion, several towns and villages where churches and parsonages have been built, and clergy for a time sustained, and which were supposed likely to rise into importance, are now abandoned almost entirely by their inhabitants. * The period embraced in the Financial Report is only nine months, the .xccounta in the last Report having been closed in April 1866.] 8 REPORT, fit 1 The presence, too, of a much larger proportion than usual of persons utterly indifferent to religion, if not hostile to it, and of many imbued with ideas and pnnciples foreign to those of the mother-laud of England, renders the advance of pure and prac- tical Christianity slow, arduous, and discouraging. The clergy sent out by this Mission are not dismayed by these difficulties, but we feel sure will continue to maintain their good reputation for earnest and faithful work to which many bear testimony. They look, however, for the prayerful sympathy of their brethren in old England's favoured home, and no doubt are deriving blessing and support through the prayers of many. The varied matters recorded in this Report will speak for themselves. They represent the every-day work of the diocese, and are gathered from notes and observations roughly made at the time. What is recorded of one missionary and of one sphere of work is a sample of what is being done by many others. They give perhaps but a faint idea of the anxieties, depression, and painful self-distrust which the difficulties of the work often produce in the mind and feelings of the missionaries of the Gospel. The whole support of the work of the diocese of British Columbia does not happily fall upon this fund. The gratitude of the Colonial Church is due to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in the first place, and to the Church Missionary Society, the account of whose mission at Metlacatla will be read with deep interest. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has also befriended the work, and in particular by a contribution towards the college for the Christian edifcation of girls, which has been named in honour of Miss Burdett Coutts. May the blessing of God attend the issue of this Report. May it excite thankfulness to Him who alone " giveth the increase " in such undertakings, and to whom alone is all the glory due. May zeal be kindled in the cause of our blessed Master, and of souls for whom He shed His most precious Blood ; and may it call forth the earnest and prayerful help, to all such good works, of the faithful sons and daughters of^ England's Church, who, while watering others, shall be blest and watered themselves. li! Si ii. 9 / DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE. The following documents respeoting the proposed diviaion of the diocese will be read with interest by the friends of the Mission : — No. 1. — Letter from the Bishop of British Columbia to the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, containing proposals for the divinion of the Diocese into two, and the endowment of the new liishopric. 7, Upper Bebkklet Stbf.et, Pohtman Square, October 6th, 1864. My Lord Archbishop, — It may be in the recollection of your Grace that a resolution was passed at a meeting of the Colonial Bishoprics' Council in July last, declaring the importance of dividing the diocese of Columbia, as soon as the funds could be found for the endowment of the new See. The necessity for this division arises from the vast extent of the present diocese, equal in area to England and France, and the physical impossibility of giving that attention to all parts of the diocese which is most important in the early stage of planting and fostering the institutions of Christianity. Tlie political ciroumstances also uf the two colonies of Columbia and Vancouver, which have occasioned the appointment of two Governors, give direction to religious matters and make it very desirable to go along with the public sentiment by an extension also of the Episcopate. A very strong feeling in favour of a resident Bishop in New Westminster has often been publicly expressed. Any measure tending as this would do to strengthen British feeling is CMpecially valuable in that port of the empire at the present time. It is proposed that the title of the See to be created shall be that of New Westminster, after the chief town of the colony of British Columbia, the southern and north-eastern portions of which will form the new diocese ; while the north, western portion of Columbia, with Queen Charlotte's Islands and the colony of Vancouver, will con- stitute the other diocese, over which I shall continue to preside, with Victoria as my place of residence. With respect to endowment, I am happy to be able to report to your Grace that 5,500^. is secured ; viz. 2,500^. already invested in land, chiefly in and about New Westminster. 2,000/. in hand here, ready to be paid over, if the See be constituted. 1,000/. voted by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. 5,500/. 1 wW 10 DIVISION Of Tin-: UIOCKsK. m m % i» l*til iii'i Si iMi lit- 1 11 Hcsidea thin, tho Colonial Bislioprios' Coinioil will probably make a grunt Bimilar to tlioir biHt to (rmftuii, of 1,500/., making a total of 7,000/., wliioli at colonial intore-jt ropreaonta 700/. a year. Under those oiroumstances, and seeing the minimum endowment (5,000/.) required by the Crown is scoured, I venture to ask your Grace, if the proposed arrangements have your approval, to take the requisite steps for obtaining the assent of the Uovcrument, and I presume your Grace will, at the same time, recommend to the Crown a fitting person to become the first Bishop of the new See. I have appended a map, ako showing the boundaries of the proposed division, and am ready to furnish your Grace or the Government with any further explanation or details that may be required.

Sir, — I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch, No. 49, 26th October, 1864, enclosing the copy of a pro- posal from the Bishop of British Columbia for the division of that diocese into two, and the endowment of a new bishopric. Having submitted the proposal with the accompanying documents to my executive council, I am of opinion, that a compliance with it would be in every way beneficial to this colony. I have, &c.

Sir, — I have had the honour to receive your Despatch, No, 38, of the 26th October, 1864, on the subject of a propoaal made for the division of the diocese of British Columbia. 2. I should long ago have furnished you with my opinion upon the project, but that I knew the Bishop would soon return to the colony. When I saw his Lordship, I promised him, as we did not quite agree, that I would consider the matter further, for at least a fortnight, before finally communicating my views to you. 3. Previous however, to the Bishop's return, I had devoted an DIVISION OF THE DIOCK.SK. 11 anxious oousiderntion to the wholo questioii. 1 oiUled for tlio assistanco of Buoh luenibci-H of tho executive council as are uuw iu the colony. Tiioir opiniona I have the iiouour to forward. I am bo reluctant to oppose arrangements already approved by the Church in England, that I particularly call your attention to the unanimous condemna- tion, by my constituted adviserH, of the proposal uiude by the Bishop of British Columbia. Their opinion, if promulgated, would have the concurrence, 1 believe, of every inhabitant iu tho colony. 4. Acknowledging at once the advantage which would accrue from a division of this diocese, and the appointment of an additional bishop, I regret to say, that I think more harm than good would be done by carrying out the division in the manner pro])08ed. 6. You are but too well aware of the jealousy existing between the two colonies on this side of the Rocky Mountains. Tho merchants and owners of town lots iu Victoria, in the comparatively unimportants^ colony of Vancouver, have drawn nearly all tho share of tho profits ^ of the gold discoveries in this colony, which have not been absorbed in California. British Cohimbia, the source of wealth, has remained poor, and imagines itself neglected in every way. Its name was used as an attraction for capital, which was invested beyond its limits ; its gold created a demand for a bank whose bead-quarters are in another colony, for a diocese whose see is iu the rival island. Its treasure poured forth without leaving a deposit here, and a territory of the^ greatest mineral wealth ran the risk of utter abandonment. 6. The feeling of injustice suffered is diminished here, since the separation of the two colonies ; yet Victoria still irritates the local jealousy by affecting, though contributing nothing to the revenue, to be the capital of British Columbia. The i)roject of Bishop Hills, by which it is proposed that the seat of the episcopate of British Columbia should be on Vancouver Island, with just enough of this territory annexed to justify the retention of the title, would, I feel convinced, create an amount of hostility in this colony that would greatly impede the progress of the Church. 7. Bishop Hills himself appears to have recently held tho opinion I now express. I enclose an extract from the Columbia Mission Report for 1864. His Lordship acknowledges the rivalry of the two colonies, and says, " In whichever of the two is fixed the episcopal seat, an alienation of feeling in the other will be the consequence. The best interests of religion, as well as good policy, will be served by yielding to the colonial feeling, and by gathering up all sympathies in a division of the diocese." But I enclose a portion of the Bishop's minute. 8. Until Vancouver Island is politically incorporated with British Columbia^ no division of the diocese can be satisfactorily made which does not recognise and adhere to the existing territorial limits of the two colonies. 9. I will not allow myself to follow up the subjects mooted by some of the executive councillors. Unquestionably, as stated, the religious destitution of the colony is considerable, and the spirit of rivalry already alluded to leads people to count the respective membera of H R 1 '■':•/-' ' 1 11 w swift* ' .'': W !

I must, iu all justice, however, with the Colonial Secretary, bear testimony to the noble results of the labours carried on, iu a spirit of humility and self-denial, by the Roman Catholic missionaries among the Indians. The reverend fathers, however, devote their lives to the civilization and salvation of the native races, and do not come across the miners' path. 10. New Westminster, though it may possibly feel that the epis- copal seat of the diocese of British Columbia should not be in another and not over-friendly colony, has little to complain of as regards attention bestowed on it by the Church of England.

It rained in torrents, but the attendance of "LONG JIM." Ih ^:'l T was told I had a great friend in a miner who went by the name of "Long Jim." Miners are seldom known except by their nick- names. He had spoken with indignation at some evil speaking and slandering which had been indulged in on the subject of Christ Church Trust property. He thought the Church ought to have tlie Reserve. So talked " Long Jim." 1 called upon the same individual to-day in his log cabin. The storekeeper avIio was with nio discoursed elo- quently upon the excellence of his character. " He was greatly respected on the Creek, was a steady and very industrious man, always ready to serve others," Jim was very glad to see me, and not only came himself, but did all he could to induce others to attend the ser- vice. Jim was no stranger to me, for ho had been a patient in the Victoria Hospital. I thought him then a rough and uncouth miner; he did not attend at first piu'ticularly to the exhortations, but did so lattei'ly, and I had a conversation with him. He got well and left the hospital. I never knew his name, and until J saw liis face to-day, was not awai'e that Long Jim was the patient of the hospital. This is one of those instances where the woi'k of tlie minister of Christ is more efi'ectual and blessed than he supposes at the time. We may be encouraged, by the cases which thus show results, to believe thankfully in good effects in other instances, though hidden from us. We are of course encouraged by promises that Cod's word shall not go forth and return unto Him void. This poor man found blessing in the minis- trations at the hospital, and now sliows the result in friendly feeling towards the humble instrument of his good, in zeal for God's service, and in doing kind acts for others, letting his light shine before men, even amidst the excitement and exceeding worldliness of a gold-mining community. I asked his name ; the storekeeper said he really did not know, the man was always called Long Jim. BREAK-DOWX OF A STEAMER. Saturday, August 19. — Embarked to-day on board the Emily Harris for the consecration of Nanaimo Church, accompanied by Ai'clideacon Gilson. We ought to have sailed at seven o'clock, but did not get away till eleven. When off the Bay beyond Cadboro' Point, our steamer's head was suddenly pointed direct in to the shore. Something was amiss ; presently the firemen and others were rapidly drawing out the fire. The lead pipe had failed at its connexion with the boiler. The fires were therefore put out, and the vessel brought to anchor. As it might be some time before the necessary repairs could be effected, I thought it better to come on shore and return to Victoria, which w-e aid, thankful to have escaped from what was nearly being a disastrous explosion. TONE OF MORALS.

This woman had been to San Francisco, to bring to Victoria a number of wretched creatures, eight of whom, culled " Ladies " in the list of passengers, were on their way with her. Six of these, with herself, were cngulphed in the deep. Crime enough to call down judgment from a holy God ! The husband of course was privy to the nefarious traffic, and 8ui)plied the money. The awful stroke determined him to give up his hotel and leave the place — perhajis conscience hindered his stay. Ho held a leading posi- tion in an institution popular in America. A gold medal was struck in his honour. A dinner was given him. A procession of carriages took him down, as though a public benefactor, to the steamboat, and hundreds seemed to vie with each other in doing him honour. Such, alas ! is the tone of morality among a large number in this country. Moral and religious character is entirely disregarded in tlie estimate of wortli. Tliis is an element of latitudinarianism ; fi'om indiiference to distinctive religion, the step has been easy to indifference to morality. " Unscctarianism " leads to laxity of morals. CONSECIIATION OP ST. PAUL's CHURCH, NANAIMO. Saturday, Auguat 2C. — Embarked with my wife and Archdeacon Gilson at eight o'clock on board H.M.8. Clio, for Nanaimo, A fog detained us for four hours, and prevented our arrival the same day. Sunday, A ugust 27. — Reached Nanaimo only just in time for the morning service. The Rev. Mr. Good had given us up. The attend- ance at Church was fair — the congregation principally of men. I preached. There were very few communicants. In the afternoon, found the Sunday-school in good order, and fairly attended. In the evening Archdeacon Gilson preached. VISIT TO THE INDIAN VILLAGE — INDIAN SERVICE. In tlie afternoon I went with ^Irs. Hills and the Rev. Mi*. Good to the pretty little Indian Church. Mr. Good said the service in the Xanaimo language. The people took their part, and chanted responses in a devout and interesting manner. Talso addressed them. There seemed to be a real work of improvement amongst these poor Indians. CONFIRMATION AT NANAIMO — INDIANS CONFIRMED. Monday, A ur/iist 28. — This evening the Church was again well filled, and nine candidates were confirmed, amongst whom were four Indian women, Chymsiuns ; these are all wives of Avhite men. Mr. Good has taken much pains with them, and their pre-sent improvement is a great contrast to their former selves. Tucxday, Awjiid 29. — Met the Church Committee.

During the night, however, a number of persous succeeded in tearing down the greater part of the fences, and one man was arrested. Friday , Septetnber I. — The prisoner was bound over in heavy sure- ties to keep the peace for six montha We were to have dined at Government House to-day, but just before going, an intimation was given me that further depredations were to be committed, so we sent excuses ; and as the police had failed me last night, I set to work myself to organize a watch, and have special constables sworn in for the pro- tection of the Church, my own residence, and the Reserve. We passed a night of some anxiety. OUURCH RESERVE EXCITEMENT — MEETING OF THE CHURCH COMMITTEES. Monday, September 4. — This evening, by my invitation, the com- mittees of the churchwardens, and committees of Christ Church and St. John's, together with the clergy, met at my residence. My object was to enlist the support and sympathy of the lay membera of the Church, by giving them the fullest information, and seeking their counsel. I gave the history of the Reserve, showing its original dedi- cation to the Church of England, and the steps which I had taken in support of our rights. The utmost harmony prevailed, thanks were given for the information, and a vote of approval and support was passed. The meeting pledged itself to support me. DESTRUCTION OP TRINITY CHURCH, NEW WESTMINSTER. Septenrber 6. — By the Enterprise to-day received the sad intelligence of the destruction of Holy Triuity Church by fire. It commenced last night, about eight o'clock, in the vestry. Happily the beautiful peal of bells presented by Miss Coutts, and the tower, were saved. INDIAN FIGHT. Sunday, October 1. — After visiting the Indian school this afternoon, I went, accompanied by the Rev. A. C. Garrett, to visit the Indian village. We heard a disturbance going on at the Hydah camp. As we approached, we perceived groups of Indians on the surrounding heights in a state of excitement. These were songees and others look- ing on at a fight between rival tribes of Hj'daha. The scene was truly savage. Naked men, wild and distorted, were raging about and hurl- ing krge Htones, some with fearful precision, at each other. There were women wild with fury and screaming, tirging on the fight. We went into the midst of them, and with some diJHculty got them to desist. It was an exciting scene as we stood between the combatants, who continued to gesticulate to each other, their blood freely flowing from wounds, and their countenances showing passion and revenge to reign supreme. Mr. Garrett showed great courage and coolness; many huge stones were dropped at \\\i bidding, and maniacs became calm at his words. Poor creatures, it was pitiable to see them, as they sobered, realizing their wounds and showing them to us. A woman brought The "THE 8PARR0WHAWK "—CAPTAIN PORCIIER AND CYRKNK. 21 her husband to me, whose face, breast, back, and arms, were bedaubed with blood from many wounds and bruises ; his face was excited with anger, and in his two hands were 6rm1y grasped heavy stones as large as he could hold. At length we quieted them, and there were many voices to be heard as we came away, saying " Good, good." A chief cause of this excitement, in which probably lives were lost, was drink. LAYING THE OOnNER-STONB OP THE OIFLS' COLLEGIATE SCHOOL. Thursday, October 12. — The day was beautiful. We had at luncheon the Governor, Mrs. Kennedy, and their daughters, and other leadiug persons of the colony and friends of the Church. A procession was made, in which the volunteer rifles formed part ; we proceeded to the ground, a beautiful spot upon the Church Reserve, where a large number of persons were assembled. Mrs. Kennedy laid the stone. The service was that usual on such occasions in the diocese. Addresses were delivered by the Governor, the Chief Justice, and myself. All went off well, and thjre was a reverent tone in the assemblage, afford- ing the hope that a good impression had been made. We publicly asserted the duty of training up the young religiously: the Chief Justice asserted the principle plainly, and the Governor several times expressed his adherence to the Church of England. The streets in the neighbourhood of this college site have been named after the munifi- cent foundress of the see. Miss fiurdett Coutts. CONFIRMATION AT BT. JOHN's, VICTORIA. Sunday, October 22. — I held a confirmation to-day at St. John's, which was densely filled. The candidates behaved remarkably well, and from the tone which prevailed, and from the interest manifested, I trust the occasion has been blessed to many. Several officers and seamen of Her Majesty'^ ships were confirmed. VISIT TO COWICHEN. November 16. — Left Victoria in the Otter; reached Cowichen Bay about half-past ten o'clock. Rev. A. C. Garrett met me on the wharf. Went on shore, and visited various settlers until dark. A meeting of the settlers had been deferred on account of the rain all the morning. I then went on board the Sparrowhawh, which was anchored in the bay, where I found comfortable quarters, and, as usual on board Her Majesty's ships, agreeable society. "the SPARROWHAWK" — CAPTAIN PORCHER AND CYRBNK The Sparrowhawk is a larger kind of gun-boat, called usually a despatch boat, with four guns — one an Armstrong 110-pounder. Her crew consists of ninety men and officers. The firti lieutenant is a son of the B' ?. J. Dolphin, of Antingham, Norfolk. Captain Poroher is well known as a scientific explorer ; he was last engaged at the Cyre- naica, " the parts of Libya about Cyrene," from whence in the year 1861, iu Association with Captain Murdoch Smith, he obtained many statues and sculptures of the Greek and Roman period, for the Eritish Museum. A beautiful and expensive volume, highly illustrated by the tU{--\i r^ 1, oo NUTKS AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WOHK, artistiu skill of Captain Purcher, gives an account of tho history of Cyrene, and of its relics and inscriptions. MEKTINQS AT COWICUKN. Nnvemhcr 17. — Breakfasted at seven o'clock. Left in a boat for i\\e Cowichen laudiiijj;. Found ]Mr. Garrett wuitiuj;:, but no liorsea ; walked two miles and met them. Tho early part of the day was tine. (Crossed Sonienos Lake, and had a meeting of inhabitants at eleven o'clock, and discussed the c^uestion of the income of tho clergyman; A eomruittee was formed, and a good feeling was munife.sted : they agreed to raise 100/. annually. After the meeting I went to tho log- hut of .1 settler, where a repast of venison and potatoes and tea was provided. Having recrossed the lake and mounted our steeds, we made again for the landing, where I pursued the same course at a meeting of settlers ; all were anxious for a Church, and thankful at the prospect of a residi-nt clergyman, promising to do their part towards his income. This good feeling may bo attributed to the zealous exer- tions of the Rev. A. C. Garrett, who for several years, in all weathers, has visited the settlement for monthly, and latterly fortnightly ser- vices, a distance there and back of eighty miles, on each occasion. Cowichen is an extensive agricultural district in the earliest stage : all the settlers work hard with their own hands, and are poor, yet several, though living in log-huts, engaged to give 51. a year towards the support of a resident minister. NANAIMO. Saiui'dai/, November 18. — Left our anchorage in Snug Cove at seven o'clock. Reached Nanaimo at four o'clock. Went on shore, saw the Rev. Mr. Good, and arranged to preach twice to-morrow, Sunday, Novemhef 19. — It rained all last night, and heavily to-day. Preached morning and evening. Monday, November 20.- shore and visited settlers. COMOX. -Reached Comox at one o'clock. It rained a good deal. AVent on VISIT TO TUB MISSIOX, COMOX. Tuesday, November 21. — It rained and blew hard all the morning. Went on shore with Captain Porcher, and about eleven o'clock started in a canoe maimed by two Indians, of whom one was the well-known " Jim Seaweed," who speaks English, and often acts as an interpreter. The heavy rains had greatly swollen the river, and we had stiff work to stem the torrent; moreover it rained and blew vehemently. At length we came to a landing-place, from which we had to walk, not being able to get up further in the canoe against the stream. Mr. Cave, tho catechist in charge of the settlement, and Captain 'Pryce, a gentleman staying with him, had given us up, not thinking us rash enough to battle with the elements. % '^» |i A skttler's family— squalls. 0«» THR MISSION HOUSE, OOMOX. The Mission House is situated on n pretty brunch of the Courtenay river, in the midst of a fine piece of land of about 170 acres boloug- ing to tlie Church, which will one day bo valuable. The Mission buildiuys consist of thico rooms on the ground, with a slooping-loft above. Attached to this is the "chapel, neatly arranged with commu- nion table, pulpit, and lectern. There is a bell and an ecclesiastical east window. BAPTISM OF A CHILD. I found, from Mr. Cave, that a child about eight months old in a family a mile and a half off, had not been baptized. It was still pour- ing with rain, and doubts were cxpre^.!?ed whether we could cross tho swollen river, beyond which Thcnnpson's house lay, a bridge having been recently carried away. We learnt, however, that a tree had been felled for a bridge, though it was uncertain whether it had withstood tho current. Mr. Cave and I started. The intervening laud was flooded, and I was frequently above my knees in water. At length we came to the river, and found the tree, some '200 feet long, still in its place, although tho waters were raging against it, and causing it to vibrato as if about to follow the fate of other attempts at a bridge. As tho branches were still left on, it was difficult occasionally to twist round them without losing one's balance. We got safely over, and I confess I felt very doubtful whether we should find the tree to befriend us on our return. A SETTIiEU's FAMILY. In a comfortable log-house with bright firo, I found Thompson and his family, consisting of his wife and four children. They were very pleased I had come, and were thankful for the baptism of their child. He is a good specimen of a Cariboo miner. He went up thither about three years ago, soon after his arrival, and worked two years for wages, not speculating, as many do, in eager haste to be rich, and then losing all, but steadily saving his money. He brought down to Victoria 200/., sent for his wife and family with a portion, and with the rest came up to Comox, took up land, built his house and barn, bought stock, and is now independent, with an excel- lent piece of land, which he will steadily improve, and upon which he has twenty-one head of stock already. He is a Presbyterian from tho north of Ireland, his wife a communicant of our Church, brought up in Canada. They both attend the Mission service. He walked back with us to see us safe over the log and the torrent (the log was washed away shortly afterwards) : though wet through from the constant wading, I returned to the Mission, thankful for the opportunity of ministering to a worthy family. SQUALLS. After partaking of damper and tea, we again set off to return. The current of course helped us on our way considerably, but towards tho lower part of the river, where it was exposed to the sea, the wind and waves were so turbulent, that Captain Porcher thought it best to get m m '.',' ii 24 NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WOSK. \m II If! I out of tho cauoe and walk to the village. In returning to the ship, about a mile and a half off, we encountered some extrnordiiiary squalls and gusts, which twice knocked the oar out of the coxswain's hand. The sea was blown up into the air in spray forty or fifty feet high all about us ; one squall came on right in front, another imme- diately after oame from directly behind, so variable and violent were tho effects. Uf course we were perfectly safe in the life-boat, with four able seamen and their captain, and it was therefore interesting to observe the phenomena; bat no Indian canoe could have lived, and though there were goods to send on board, no canoe would venture off. NEED OF THE OOHPEL. In this district, besides the European settlera, there are 130 Indians. Some of the settlers are steady and thriving people ; others, alas ! are quite the contrary. I visited the house of a settler who lives witli an Indian wife ; ho was intoxicated ; a neighbour told mo he had known the man three years, and had never seen him sober except for one month. Another had lately got a little money, and now, as his custom was, stayed about the liquor-shop till he had drunk it out. A Protestant Irishman who had met me at the mines in Cariboo, offered us a drink of punch. Many settlers live with Indian women : such is the fall of several sons of respectable English families. Nothing can be more melancholy than the history and example of cases such as these, of which there are not a few. Then the poor Indians are close observers of all this depravity in the stronger race. Truly is it pressing upon England to maintain a better witness, by the ministries of the Gospel in which she boasts, that the only counteracting influence may be at work, and some of both Indians and her own children be saved as brands plucked from the burning. An earnest clergyman placed here would be a great blessing. MEN-OF-WAR AMD THE INDIANS. November 23. — To-day we turned our faces homewards ; we stopped on our way at the Euolutaw village, on Cape Mudge, now deserted. Not an Indian was to be seen. Here was the scene of an attack by a man-of-war a short time ago, and we found a 321b. shot. These attacks, not always judiciously made, have produced upon the Indians an impression of excessive fear. They now fly and hide away at the sight of a man-of-war. I remember the time when they would come out in their canoes and show interest and friendliness as soon as King George's man-of-war oame near their villages, regarding us not as foes, but as friends. A BOISTEROUS NIGHT. Friday, November 24. — Last night, about five o'clock, it came on to blow hard, with rain. The sea arose, and the night was pitchy dark. The ship occasionally refused to steer, and got off her course ; when land was last seen, we were off Cape Lazo ; we were in a channel not very wide, and no anchorage near. A third boiler was lighted, and full steam-power kept on to keep the ship's head right. It was as TITK noon .SAMARITAN. 25 mnoh 08 we could do t > prevent buiii^ driven bnok. The ship pitched nnd rolled, the wind roared, and the rain pelted ; and the danger was lest we should be driven out of our courae, and wrecked upon the rocka on either Hide. After midnight, happily, the wind nbated, and we lay to till daylight, and then found we wore still off Cape Lazo. It was one of those occasions when we were led to feel how powerless man is for his own protection. We wore tossed about, the sport, as it were, of the wild waves and wind. The darkness blinded us, and the helm refused to do her part. Thanks be to God, all is bright again to< day, the sun shines out in its strength, and we arc spared to set forth the glory of God yet the more for all His mercies' sake. At daylight we sailed from Cape Lazo, had a successful passage, and reached Esquimau at eight o clock in the evening (120 miles), and wore by my own fireside by half-pnst nine o'clock CONSECRATION OP CHRIST CHURCH, VICTORIA. Thur-xlay, December 7. — To-day I consecrated Christ Church, Vic- toria, which, although erected in 1856, could not be legally r;onveyed, as we had only recently become possessed of the title-deeds of the land. Archdeacon Gilson preached. Governor Kennedy and family were present, as also Lord Guildford, and Captain Coode, of H.M.S. SutleJ. After service Mr. Cridge whs appointed Dean, took the oaths, and was collated. Christ Church, enlarged and renovated, has become, for the present, the Cathedral of the Diocese. VISIT TO NEW WESTMINSTER — CONFIRMATION. My wife and I went by the Enterprise to-day to New Westminster, and were hospitably received at Goverument House by Mr. Birch, tho officer administering the government. Sundai/, December 10. — Preached in the morning at tho temporary Church. Held a confirmation at St. Mary's, Sappertou, in the after- noon. Preached again in the evening. Wednesday, December 13. — Returned to Victoria. MEETING OP CLERGY — CHURCH SYNOD. Friday, January 5. — Amongst other subjects discussed at a meeting of the clergy to-day, was that of synodical action, in the desirability of which all agreed. Some present wished a distinct resolution passed to carry out the object at an early day, but it was considered we were not in a position at present even to take this step. In a short time it was hoped the diocese would be divided, and then both dioceses might move together. It was agreed that the course of proceedings should be to call first the clergy together, then the clergy and laity — to a con- fer ence, then a synod. The Archdeacon said this had been the process in Montreal. HE GOOD SAMARITAN. January 9. — Mr. Klli jt, the magistrate of Lillooet, dined with me to-day. We were speaking of the small-pox, which had visited the colony two or three yeai^s ago. Three or four hundred Indians have died of it in the neighbourhood of Lilloout. There was placed tho 26 NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WOUK. Rev. L. C. Brown. Though not without fear of the disorder, and being in delicate health, yet, as a matter of duty, he freely visited the poor afflicted creatures, and did what ho could for them, both Indians and whites. On one occasion he found a ^lexican lyini? in the bnsli, deserted by friends and left to die. He brought him into his own log- hut, consisting of one room, and there attended him. Shortly after, a Spaniard was found equally destitute. He brought him ulso into his ouiy apartment, and tended these two cases till they recovered. Mr. Brown -was remarked for his earnest pursuit of what was riu'lit ; nothing would turn him from the strict lino of duty. He would often speak out fearlessly against vices which society was too ready to overlook, and found much opposition in consequence. Ho lived at length to bear down this opposition, and to possess the respect of all. Such an instance as the above raised him greatly in public estimation. Rough men that had tossed their heads in scorn, now gave him the recognition of respect. During his frequent visits and nursing of the small-pox sick, he did not open the Churcii for service, lest he might communicate the contagion, but -when he did open it, all came to the house of God. Desperate characters who had never been seen there before, now attended. Such was the force of a holy example. IXDIAN PROGRESS. ]VednesfIap, January 2.3. — A young Indian woman brought a letter from Mrs. Good, the clergyman's wife at Nanaimo ; she has come to Victci'ia to service : she has lived two years with Mrs. Good. She can understand English, and can speak the language tolerably. She has been baptized and confirmed. Her anxiety, she told us, was to take no situation in which she could not carry out her I'eligious duties. She had learned that the fiiniily into which she was going did not attend Church, and she came to consult us. " I should not like to go anywhere but to our own Church," she said. She went back, and made an agreement before engaging herself, that she might go to Church at least once on the Sunday, and to the Sunday-school. living. X f- SERVICE.S — GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTEH-DAY. Gnnd Friday, March 30. — The best congregation I have ever seen on a Good Friday here ; it was very nearly as large as the usual Sun- day congregation — a sign of improvement. EasUr-day, April 1. — The weather delightful. A very full congre- gation at the Cathedral ; the largest number of communicants I ever remember. I preached again at St. John's in the evening, where there had also been a great increase of communicants. On the whole, we may be thankful for decided progress in the general tone of the con- gregations. Our Lent work has been effectual, and God has blessed it, may we hope, to the saving of souls. THE TELEGRAPH TO VICTORIA. April 24. — The important and desirable connexion between the Atlantic and V^ictoria was completed to-day. ' Congratulatory messages were exclianged by Governor Kennedy and the President of the United A VOUNU INDIAN (.'IIIEF — SUPPLY OF CLKHdY. 27 States at Washington, e?:pressive of the hope that tFie telegraph may prove to Great Britain and America an enduring link of peace and progress ; may such peace and progress be a raenns, under God's bless- ing, of furthering the kingdom of the Prince of Peace ! INDIAN IDEA OF PUAYEU. Suvday, April 29.' — An Indian Christian was asked, at the school, to-day, what was his idea of prayer. He said, "If my canoe was upset and broken, and there was a strong man standing on the rock. I should call out to hiin to help me ; so we poor creatures call to God, who is strong and kind ; and that is prayer." FIIUIT OF SEED SOWN". Several years ago an Indian woman who was living with a white man came to the Mission desirous of b(!ing instructed in Christian it j'. She had learnt to see her sin, and had separated from the man. He also became impressed with a sense of shame. For some months she took great pains, and became a catechumen for baptism, and was ulti- mately married by Christian rites. She has steadily improved, and has made her husband a good wife. There were in the school to-day two instances of her good influence. One was a youth who had been instructed by her at Douglas, where for several years she has been living. He is a steady applicant for Christian teaching, and regularly attends the school. The other case was one similar to her own. The woman stated she had seen the good obtained at the school by Mrs. Hughes, and she wished to follow in the steps she had pursued. She appears very anxious to amend her life, and to be instructed in Christianity. A YOUNG INDIAN CHIEF. We had to-day, at the school, the son of the chief of !Massetts, a tribe of Queen Charlotte's Island, where we are anxious to open a Mission. The young man had been brought by a young Christian Indian, a Chymsian whom I baptized in 1863. The Chymsians and the Hydahs are usually hostile. Here an interest in the Gospel had united the two ; the young Christian, having found Christ, brought not his brother, but his enemy, and they sat together as the lion and the lamb. The young Hydah chief told me his heart was anxious we should come and teach his people about Christ, as Mr. Duncan had taught the Chymsians. SUPPLY OF CLKUGY. A friend in England tells rne, he finds it impossible to get superior clergy for the JNIission, and thinks we must bo content with persons of inferior stamp and education. I can understand his difficulty from my own experience. The best men, or indeed good men, do not offer them- selves usually in answer to advertisements. 1 am, however, quite sure we cannot successfully plant the Church with inferior men. Our colonists are people above the average in intelligence ; and those not of our own stock, or those who have lived long in the States, have learnt to P ''jit; 'i' r • J |f||.J.^^ It 28 NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WOKK. despise religion, because of the inferiority of the ministers they have too often seen in connexion with it. There is plenty of material in England for supplying both the Home and Colonial Ministry. There are multitudes of youths, sons of the same class from which the ministry is now principally drawn, who would go on from the Grammar Schools to the University, if the means were provided. These youths, sons of clergy, half-pay officers, and other well-educated persons, now go into offices as clerks, where the utmost they can expect to reach, after many years, is an income of two or three hundred pounds. Open the door of University education to these, aud ample will be the supply of clergy. The Scholarships of old did this for the Church. Such a means would also enable promising youths of even the working-classes to rise and reach the highest offices, with all the advantages of the best education. ^- if I; CRUISE TO THE NORTH. Wednesday, May 2d. — Sailed this morning in H.M.S. Spatrow- hawk ; at ten o'clock we reached San Juan, the island at present in dispute, aud where we have a company of British troops ; we reached Nanaimo at half-past seven, and went on shore. Thursday, May 3d. — Inspected the parsonage, church, school, and Indian chapel ; visited several Indian families. They all expressed regret at the loss of Mr. Good : the Indians are better behaved here than in many places. FORT RUPERT. Monday, May 7th. — Arrived at Fort Rupert, 250 miles from Victoria, situated on the south of a beautiful bay, at the entrance of which are several islands, one of which is called Shell Island, from its white shores of clam shells, and is a burial-ground of the Indians. The Hudson's Bay Company's agent received us at the beach, and we went into the quaint stockaded fort, with four bastions, the one type of the Company's trading stations from Hudson's Bay to the Pacific. There are very few Indians here at present, many being away at their fishing-stations. A Dorsetshire man, with an Indian wife and family, has not been away from the fort a siugle day for thirteen yeara. Amongst other employes of the Company was an Iroquois, a half-breed from Canada, also a Kanaka, a Sandwich Islander, both with Indian wives and families. Wednesday, May 9th. — Went on shore with Captain Porcher. The wind being high, it was difficult to land ; had to wade a short distance ; went about the Indian houses, and spoke to the people. Since I was here, three years ago, the Roman^Catholics have sent Missionaries, who visit Fort Rupert occasionally, and they have put up a wooden house, twenty-eight feet by twelve, part of which is a chapel ; they have not made any progress amongst the people, who still ask for Missionaries of the Church of England. Alas that we should find so much difficulty in supplying true-hearted labourers, content to live in the simplest manner, and patiently to wait for the harvest after seed-time ! ARRIVAL AT METLACATLA — SERVICE AT METLACATLA. 29 INDIAN AOBNT AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. Thursday, May lOth, — Arrived at Bala Bala, 101 miles from Fort Rupert. The Indian agent came on board, and informed Captain Porcher that he had arrested a liquor-trader. He thinks the traffic can be stopped ; he says the Indians know of the ill effects upon their race, and have acquiesced in the propriety of its suppression; be thinks a man-oi-war should go round and tell the Indians nut to continue their " hiting " custom. Part of the " medicine work " encourages certain sorcerers to seek human flesh ; and cruelty and murders are the result. He thinks they would give it up if told by authority to do so. SCENERY. Friday, May llth. — Day fine and bright. We steamed ninety-five miles through a succession of channels, from one to two miles wide, with waters almost fathomless, and placid as a lake. One exception was for a few miles of ocean-swell in passing the open Pacific in Milbank Sound. Eising abruptly, sometimes in broken ranges, and sometimes in threatening perpendicular grandeur, the mountainoui heights enclosed our course, covered with dense forest, and hoary with winter snow. Innumerable waterfalls,- —some like white threads mark- ing the mountain side, and others thundering in majestic volume with cascades, one over the other, down a thousand feet, — came rushing and foaming into the depths below. Occasionally might be seen the desolating track of a tremendous avalanche which had laid prostrate and flattened the whole forest of lofty pines on a width of two hundred feet, and a thousand in length. ARRIVAL AT METLACATLA. Saturday, May \2th. — Eeached Metlacatla at three o'clock, having come ninety miles. Mr. Duncan came off in a canoe manned by twelve Indians, full of euihiisiasm about his work. 1. SERVICE AT METLACATLA. Sunday, May I5th. — Having performed Divine service on board th* Sparrowhawk, I went on shore, accompanied by Captain Porcher and Dr. Comrie. Being anchored a mile and a half from the village, and the wind contrary, we were some time in reaching our destination. Qreat improvements have taken place, since my visit in 1863. A neat row of houses faces the beach. At one end is the bastion, with flag- staff, the Mission House, and a large school chapel. From that end another street of houses extends at right angles to the former, facing another very pretty bay. Groups of well-dressed Indians were waiting to receive us : with many of the men I shook hands, having baptized most of them, and I was glad to find amongst them their chief, Paul Legaic. The great octagon was well filled. It was a thankful sight to behold the clean, neat, and orderly flock gathered with a devotional object to the Christian house of prayer. In a front row were ten young girls, all with English Bibles in their hands, as modest and A.h^ 30 NOTES AND INCIDKNTS OF MISSION WORK. devout as could be seen in any village church of Old England. I was glad to see many children, and never have I seen better behaved ones anywhere. Tlio first hymn was in English, "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds ! " I then said some prayers, and Mr. Duncan then said the Litany in Chymsian, after which a hymn in that language was sung. I then gave an address, and concluded with a prayer and the blessing. It was pleasing to hear the forvc;nt Amons, both to tlie English and (Jhynisian prayers, and also the responses to the Lituny universally made. We afterwards walked round the village, and adirired the gardens which are attached to each house. m I -il HYMN AND CHANT SINGING. In the evening, the ten young girls of the Institution came and sang some sacred hynnis and chants. They sang the To Deum in Chymsian ; "Judge me, Li>rd ;" '^ God, be merciful to us," and several others, very sweetly, modestly, and with devotion. At prayers, they all read, in turn, out of the Bible, a portion which I selected. After- wards, the Evening Hymn was sung. At half-past nine o'clock we left the Mission, and a canoe manned by fi.vo Indians brought us to the siiip at ten o'clock. CCUIOUS SUPERSTITION. Monday, May 14. — Lequun, a chief, who had been to New West- minster on the charge of murder, and had been brought back with us in consequence of the witnesses not having appeared against him, was liberated to-day. In connexion with this man, a curious superstition was revealed. A complaint had been made to Mr. Duncan, that a Fort Simpson chief had exhumed the body of the chief of another tribe named Kitbrone, and treated it in a way to cause trouble to the minds of the relatives. It appears that Lequun, before he was taken prisoner by the Clio, had taken certain steps to fortify himself with bravery for the occasion ; he had boasted he cai-ed notliing for the raan-of war, and that if tlie captain came near him he would kill him. It is probable the Indian cliief would gladly have died himself, if he could only have had the glory for a brief period of having killed a great white chief. When a party of seamen cime to his house, he had painted himself in war- like fashion, and lay hid in a cot, out of which he sprang, with gun in hand, expecting to frighten tlie King George men ; but half a dozen rifles, instantly levelled and pointed at his head, etloctually convinced him into a quiet surrender. To render himself invincible, he had tried the arts of sorcery by placing a piece of cloth upon tlie head and stomach of the bud}' of the Skeena chief, anticipating this, and the incantations which had attended it, would give him a charmed life under every circumstance. He was taken to Xew Westminster, and, after a few weeks, sent a message to his brother at Fort Simpson, to say the charm was inctfectual, was producing ulcers iu his side, and he begged the cloth might be taken from the dead body, and its bad in- fluence counteracted. The brother proceeded with his tribe to the place of btirial, exhumed the body, took from it the piece of cloth.

I heard the chief examined ; lie apf)eared fully to believe in the superstition ; lie pleaded the bad effect the rags were producing upon his brother (600 miles away), and very rehictaiitly paid a compensation of ten blankets to the friends of the decea.^ed. THE YOUNG gi;:ls in the mission house. I had observed, on Siniday, a row of well-behaved and devout young girls with Bibles in their hayds. As I gave out my text, they found the passage. On Sunday evening, I heard them read tho Bible, and they sang chants and hymns, sonic in English, and some in Chymsian. To-day, I examined several of them iu reading, and was much pleased by tho accurate and devout manner in which they read the word of God. How great a change is this from their condition even three years ago ! One of the difficulties of Mr. Duncan, when at Fort Simpson, was the corruption of the youth of the female sex, through tlie evil influence of their heathen homes, and the association at times with depraved whites. All his first girls, who promised well, and upon whom he bestowed great pains, were led into evil courses, and became depx'aved and lost. Ho saw the necessity of removing them away from the neighbourhood of the vortex of vice, and of establishing a home for girls. This has been the successful experiment of Motlacatla, in no depart- ment of which has the blessing of God been more marked than in this work undertaken for the benefit of the girls of the village. Mr. Duncan felt there was much inconvenience in the want of femJe supervision, and the possibility of remark ; bnt all this he resolved to bear, in order to carry out the essentials of his plan — Christian and industrial training in the best sense. The^e were to be the future mothers of a new generation. Already has he seen one set go forth from the institution well and respectably married to young men who had proved worthy of the Christian pro- fession. Those now in the institution are the second set, several of whom are about to be married, and there are others waiting to come and supply their place. So great is Mr. Duncan's influence, that none are married without his consent, and he is entirely trusted by the parents. Con- stantly is he applied to by the many young men who desire this or that one for a partner ; and not a little interesting, if jiot amusing, are the accounts he can relate of the care and watchfulness with which he guards the tender plants from too early or ill-advised exposure to the blasts and storms of the vovage of life.

I went to-day, nt the urgent desire of the sick man liimself, to Hee Kittackamieensh, who had been ill fourteen months, and who mi^ht not live many weeks longer. He was laid upon a comfortahlo bed swung from the beam, and was clean and neat in his dress — a new Hij.'ht for the interior of an Indian house. I examined the sick man as to his penitence, faith, and purpose, according to. the ({ueHtious in the baptismal service. Ho made satisfactory answers. He said he trusted in Jesus, and had been long looking for baptism. It was pleasing to see his devout manner, and humble yet thankful look. Tliero were about twenty persona in the room, which was very large, and all joined reverently in the responses. I baptized him by the name' of Hezekiah ; he was about forty-five years of age • BAPTISM OP LOOD-ZKA-CHEEOOST, TQE MURI'EREIt. In 1862 a murder was committed by three Indiiuis upon two white men. The Devastation ship-of-war arrived at the Indian village an'd demanded the murderers. The Indians gave up two, as by their law a life was the compensation for a life : nothitig would induce them to give up the third. Even force was used, but they could not be induced to violate their own ideas of justice. The sliip-of-war had no sooner departed, when the third murleier, Lood-zai-cheeonst, a heathen, * came to Metlacatla and gave himaeli' up to Mr. Duncan, saying, " I know you will tell me what is right ; if you say I must give myself up to the man-of-war, I will." Mr. Duncan Siiid, " You are guilty, therefore you ought to do so." For six months the man remained a voluntary prisoner, and when the Deva»latiressed, and gave him some very earnest advice. It was pleasing to see and to hear that once ferocious savage, now not only gentle and in his right mind, loving to be on the side of God, but forward in using his influence and speaking his words to pro- mote God's woi'k. At length an impression did seem to be made, and Edward said he would speak to us alone. Overwhelmed with emotion, he asked me to pity him and to pray for him, and made me a solemn promise he would from this time amend. I do trust, through God's mercy, he may yet be recovered. THE FUTURE OP METLAOATLA. Metlacatla must be the centre of the Northern Missions, from which shall go forth the Gospel to the regions beyond. There should be here a well- organized boarding-school for boys as well as girls, from whom may be draughted the future teachers of the tribes. For these again there should be a traiaing-place or college, for the preparation of native students for the ministry. The importance of Metlacatla can hardly be over-estimated, when viewed in connexion with its influence upon the Christian civilization of the Indians, its elfeck in producing a more just and pure system of trade, or as a centre of light of the Gospel. The time will come when the fiiBt fervour of religion will have abated, and a new generation sprung up who will not have known the depths 'ii m m ,1* ( ^iii 44 NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WORK. m ^ of degraded hoathenism, and be able thankfully to compare their Christianity with that experience, bnt will be open to the passions and temptations of a nature still far from beinjj fully reclaimed, without the help of the forvency of first converts. There will be trials then to the Mission of no ordiuary kind, and it is of moment to make this centre strong with the earnest life of faithful Missionaries from the mother land. DEPAUTURE. Tuesday, May 22. — Having sat up discussing with Mr. Duncan and iMr. Doulau various matters of the Mission till the grey dawn began to appear, having rested from three to half- past five o'clock, I went ou board, and the Sparrowhaivk was soon under weigh, our destination being Queen Charlotte's Islands, where we arrived ou the following day, anchoring at the head of Skiddegate inlet. Fnday, May 25. — Beautiful day. Went a boat excursion with Captain Porcher to the head of the inlet. The scenery was very fine. Most of the green things were out in leaf — wild currant, gooseberry, roses, alder and elder. I saw many jellow heartsease and lilies just showing flower. QUEEN CHAKLOTTE's ISLANDS. This group of two principal islands is 150 miles long, by about 40 or 50 wide. A mountainous region runs through the interior from north to south. Dense forests everywhere prevail. I am told, how- ever, there are extensive open prairies with lakes, where strawberries abound, large quantities of which the Hydahs bring over to Fort Simpson in the season. SKIDDEGATE AND GOLD HARBOUR INDIANS. We were anchored at the settlement established by the Queen Char- lotte Anthracite Coal Company. Some Sk" Megate and Gold Harbour Indians, two neighbouring tribes, had established a small village here. They are, I fear, a depraved set. Many having been to Victoria, and leariit a smattering of English and vice, are very bold. They are a strong and vigorous race. The northmen of these regions are feared by all southern tribes. I spoke about the introduction of the Gospel amongst them, but did not find encouragement. One little emaciated child I saw not long for this life, with its face painted, and with a charm ou its breast. SKIDDEGATE VILLAGE. Saturday, May 26. — We left the coal settlement at half-past four; at six reached the main village of the Skiddegate Hydah tribes, where Captain Porcher and I landed. The Crest poles are the most elaborate and best executed of any I have seen ; every lodge had its carved pole o^ an ancient date. I addressed t^ie Indians briefly upon the know- ledge of God. In these islands is a great field for missionary work. The Hydah Indiana are estimated at 5,000. Sunday, May 27. — Beautiful day. Held Divine Service morning and afternoon. Reached Frrt Rupert at nine, having come 260 miles. MISSION WUUK IN TlIK liOLD FIliLDS OF CAIJIHOO. RETURN HOME. 45 Wednesday, May 30. — Left Fort Rupert on Monday.

Total distance, 1,213 miles. MISSION WORK IN THE GOLD FIELDS OF CARIBOO. DuRiXQ the mining season of the year 1865, the Rev. A. C. Garrett resided on AVilliams' Creek, visiting the mining camps and holding services regularly every Sunday at Richfield, Cameron Town, and Barkerville, and at other places occasionally, as opportunity offered.

As I drew near the wayside house where I purposed to rest for the night, I perceived the landlord seated on the verandah in thoughtful mood. Some gi-ave and cierious matter evidently engaged his mind, as he seemed alike regardless of the busy bustle of the teamsters, of the prattle of his children playing hard by, or of ray approach. My horse's feet aroused him from his reverie. He cast a keen, searching glance at me, sprang to his feet, and said, " Mr. Garrett, I believe ? You are welcome to my house. Dismount, sir, and let me take charge of your horse." " Pray," said I, " how do you know my name, for I do not remember ever having seen youl" He replied, " You once called at the Colonial Hotel, in Victoria, where many rough fellcws were gathered round the stove. You urged upon them the itnportance of guarding against the loss of things eternal, while they pursued things temporal." " Yes," I said, ■' I once did so, but with little result, I fear." " You advised them, sir," said he, " to use the means of grace within their reach, and to attend the house of God as occasion offered. I was one among that number. I went to church, and T have never forgotten it." My gloom at once disappeared, and the evening sped away delight- fully while we discussed various points of religious interest. He was a Baptist, and his children had consequently never been dedicated to Christ. He had then an infant, about whose health he felt some anxiety. After lenguhened conversation, he seemed convinced that the Church's views were right, and, at his request, I baptized the iufaut. The elder girls' baptism he preferred postponing until he [■ j'U^ iff),, i , tit m\ m 46 MISSION WORK IN THE OOLD FIELDS OF CARIBOO. IX M mj>§ could visit Victoria, and have the sacrament administered with such attendant solemnities as might be most likely, under the Divine blessing, to make a deep impression upon their minds. INDIAN SERVICE AT LILLOOET. In the afternoon I went to the Indian church as per appointment. They had a picture of the Virgin jMury stuck on tlie wail, flanked on either side by some American Romanist bishops, cut from an illus- trated paper. One of the Indians present was delivering a sort of oration in a monotonous voice, assisted by another, who repeated wliat had been said, only in a key an octave higher, Avhich pierced the ear and jagged the nerves. I waited patiently till this very painful per- formance was concluded, and then, upon the invitation of the orator and his assistant, I proceeded to address the assembly. 1 soon found that they remomb. "cd, quite well, the little hymn I had taught them three years before, and were very anxious to have the sphere of their knowledge enlarged. I taught them to chant the Lord's Prayer, explained John iii. 16 to tliem, and left. Alas ! poor creatures, they are emphatically walking in darkness. IXCUEASE or CHINESE POPULATION. This peculiar and wonderful people are now pouring into the country with a velocity hitherto unknown. Like some mighty wave, which, urged by the swell of ocean, overleaps every barrier and rusiies far inshore, so these children of the Celestial Empire, pressed forward by the swelling millions of their native land, burst the bonds and prejudices of former generations, and are now beginning to take up a recognised position among the established inhabitants of this colony. As merchants, farmers, servants, and labourers, they are gradually, but surely, gaining a firm and successful standing in the country. I visited their farm at Queserelle, and was delighted and inspired by the skill and success with which they were worked, and the labour and persevering industry which their flourishing crops evinced. Great ingenuity is manifested in their contrivances for securing a due supply of water for purposes of irrigation. A large water-wheel is con- structed which is driven by the current of the river. As it revolves, it raises a small quantity of water in each bucket., which is discharged into a trough at the top of the wheel, and thence conveyed in flumes all over the fields. Chinamen will ere long be employed in greater numbers in this country than at any previous period. As any particular mining locality becomes partially exhausted, Chinese labour will be employed to work out its remaining wealth. Thus, perhaps at no distant day, a really hopeful field of missionary enterprise may be afforded among these truly interesting people. DESCRIPTION OP A MINING TOWN. At length my lone and lonely journey has been brought to a termi nation. I have reac dd the mystic and magic land which has by its A IIKSIDENT MISSIONARY URGENTLY REQUIRED. 47 hidden treasures become famous almost all over the world. A wild and inhospitable region it is, beyond the possibility of contradiction. Kichtield, on '' Villiams' Creek, is situated in a ravine about 5,000 feet above the sea. Surrounded on overy side by pine-clad mountains, it is difficult to imagine a place commanding a more limited horizon. I felt when I first reached it as if I had been placed in a gigantic cage, the sides of which rose up from my feet till they struck the sky. Busy miners, however, wage incessant war upon the walls of this prison. Tunnels are run into the hills in various directions, shafts are Runk in countless plnccs, and subterranean vaults constructed of vast proportions. Otliors, again, bring hydraulic power to bear, boldly assail the mountaiti, and threaten to strip the bare rock of its towering supei*structure. Thus with ceaseless and insatiable appetite the precious metal is pursued through the hidden recesses of the earth, until, at length caught and made captive, it is brought forth to the surface and compelled to minister to the wants of man. Hundreds, yea, thousands of dollars, are frequently first expended before any result is obtained, and in many instances without ever meeting with any reward. Still the splendid success of a few is so (Ifizzling, that men cannot resist the spell which binds them withover- jjowering influence to try again, and yet again, until either fortune smile and crown their eftbrts, or, altogether ruined, they are compelled to surrender in despair. Tlie large prizes in this lottery aid few and far between ; the small ones are numerous, and the blanks many. I have myself seen the excited partners in one "claim" wash up over 500 ounces as the result of two days' work ; I have also stood by others who iu sadness and dejection were endeavouring to scrape up a few ounces after weeks of patient and expensive toil. But while one "claim " can be found to yield such fabulous wealth as that above aUuded to, men will work, plan and risk, whatever may be the consequence. The known gold fields are however, indisputably, now rapidly ap- proachir.g exhaustion. Unless, therefore, something new be discovered, the country will ere long be in a miserable state of stagnation.- A RESIDENT MISSIONARY URGENTLY REQUIRED. However well the migratory character of the mining population may seem to justify a migratory mission, it should be borne in mind that a large number of miners and merchants remain in Cariboo during the winter. Mining operations are then necessarily suspended, and all these men exist fi-om Sunday to Sunday in a state of absolute idleness. A resident clergyman capable of enduring the dreadful monotony, and both physically and mentally qualified for the task, would then have an opportunity of gaining a hold upon the whole population, and of doing an amount of good probably very muo!i greater than anything which the same man could effect during a brief stay amid the wild excitement of the summer months. He would require to be a man in every way competent to command the respect and conciliate the good will of all classes. Ready to devise and execute various plans for the moi'al and intellectual improvement of the inhabitants ; active, earnest, zealous, afiPable yet self-contained ; y- ,.( 1 ■ i ■ ■''^' ' 1 '.•' '■■■ l'^lisi'i*ii''fc''- 48 MISSION WORK IN THE OOLT) FIKLDS OF fARIBOO. wise, prudent, patient, in an uncommon degrne : whether such a man can anywhere be found willing to undertake such a work, I do not pretend to say ; but of thin I am certain, that a character any way inferior would be at best useless here. This emphatically is not the place for an inferior man. B' i'l CAniCOO AN IMPORTANT nUT DIFFICULT SCRNE OF MISSIONARY LAnOUR. In a ministerial point of view, this is tiie most important place in British Columbia, exclusive of New Westminster. The population this season numbers about two thousand. There are various creeks of smaller importance employing from fifty to one hundred men, which are not included in the above estimate. Thus Williams' Creek, with its three towns, has the most niimeroi's. most concentrated, and most intelligent population anywhere to be found in the two colonies outside Victoria and New Westminster. The difficulties which beset the herald of the Gospel in the mining region are far greater than any to be encountered elsewhere. There is here no iSabbath. Mining t)perations are carried on with as much zeal as on any other day. Wheels as incessantly revolve, and a struggling mass of immortal beings, buried beneath the surface of the earth, labour for the meat which perisheth with the same ceaseless effort. Business of every kind is transacted with increased hurry, and every town presents features of additional bustle. The minister placed in this hurrying tide of human life is far too like a chip cast upon the surface of a rapid river. In vain he tries to stem the torrent. What is he against so many ? Could he but obtain a hearing for his mess-age, some impression might be made, some good effected. But yet even as in the most rapid river there are frequent eddies, where the skiff, which else were at the mercy of the rushing flood, may be moored with safety, or steered up stream with ease, so here have I been blessed. My little churches have been filled to worship God and hear His word ; while hard by the carpenter plied his saw, the blacksmith made his anvil ring, the gamblers played their desperjite game, Cheap-Johns cried their wares, and a busy multitude of striving, toiling men passed onward, down the stream of life together. Doubtless, the numbers who attended the house of God bore but a very small proportion to the whole population. This, I admit and deplore. But yet I will be thankful that amidst such multiplied and opposing influences any measure of success has been achieved. Let us hope and believe, and pray, that the leaven thus hid, and to all human appearances lost, may yet work to the general spread of a more sacred and solemn regard for the word and will of God.

CAVE, CATECHIST. DESCRIPTION OF THE SETTLEMENT. CoMOX, or as it is marked in the ciiart, Port Augusta, is about one himdred and thirty-tlireo miles north of Victoria. Its population is seventy, including men, women, and children, most of whom came to reside here in 1862, tempted by the fine lands suited so well for farm- ing purposes. It has five thousand seven hundred and eighty acres, four thousand of which are capable of immediate cultivation, being free from all timber. Nearly the whole of the land is already taken up. The Church holds ^ne hundred and seventy acres in the most central position, and beautifully situated on the banks of the river Runtledge, which runs along the northeni boundary. About two mouths after the appointment of a catechist, in the summer of 1 864, the foundation log for a Chapel and Mission House was laid, and tne building was opened for service on the Isl of January, 1865. During the fine season it has been well attended, but in the winter the settlers are prevented from coming regularly from the want of roads and bridges. During several months of the year the Comox tribe of Indians reside on the Indian Resei-ve, which adjoins the lauds which have been taken up by the whites. Two days a week are given to visiting them and teaching their children, and one service is held on each Sunday during their stay. Their language is the Eucletaw ; it is a harsh, guttural speech, and is difiPiCult of acquisition. BAPTISM AND DEATH OF AN INDIAN WOMAN. February 15, i«G5. — AVent down to the Indian camp, by special request, to see Susan, the wife of Cairnqualt. I found her in a very low and depressed state. It was some time before she recognised me. When she did, she said, '* I must shortly die. I have been poisoned. What will become of me? Oh, thank you for telling me all about heaven. Before my husband was shot (alluding to an accident about two years before) he was a bad man ; he is better, I think, now ; he prays sometimes ; take care of him. Mr Good was his friend, thank him for it. Oh ! I am sure I am dying ; do make me Jesus' child. I thank Him for dying for me. I am going to Him. Shall I see my baby ? " I spoke to her for some time, then called in her friends, had a short service with them, and then baptized her, saying " Susan, I baptize thee, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." My interpreter was much moved, and inter- preted very nicely. On the following day, I again visited her. On remarking she looked better, she replied, " I feel better, I have not so much pain, but it will soon come for the last time, and I shall be dead, but happy." When next I visited her she was dead, and the Indians . D ':'i^' . X.' \ 60 MISSION AT I'U.Md.K. had buriod her. She died in a tent oulside the houHO. They arc very superatitiouB, and will allow no one to die in a bouse. Fehruary 25. — The Indians not being eritiaiiod about the death of Susan came up to-day in numbers. Tliey say ohat poison has been found in one of the chiefs houses, by name Quor-hu-la ; and that there is reason to suspect him, because he is a medicine man, and cnn kill or cure any one. I usked what poison it was, and they say that Quor-he-la is in the habit of going to a dead man's grave and taking part of his flesh, especially his inside, and then takes some glass and hair, ground and cut fine, mixing it together, then boiling for an hour, and afterwards drying the mass in the sun. Bits of this are dropped into the food, whilst on the fire, of any one they wish to poison. Nine men are said to have been killed in this way within a short time. MISSIONAUY VISIT TO THR XOnTIIERN INDIANS. Left Comox at 8 a.m. for the northern settlements to visit the Indians. About ten o'clock met several large canoes. As soon as they heard a " Le PrAtre " was with my canoe, they went on shore and invited me to partake of their hospitality and asked for a service, which I willingly gave them. This I thought was a good beginning. After service they told me that the Indians were dying all up the coast and wanted medicines. Every Missionary to the Indians ought to have some little knowledge of physic. He will be sure to win the hearts of all, and make a sure road to the affections of those who are not hardened indeed. Left my friends at 1 p.m. and camped at five o'clock in the open air. Very cold. The starry heavens for a canopy is very pleasant for one night, but a person soon gets tired of it, and wishes for warmer lodgings. During the evening an argument arose as to how much I intended to pay the Indians who paddled my canoe. As the amount I offered was much lower than that which they demanded, they packed their traps apJ put off for home, leaving me to get there as best I could. They left me in an awkward predica- ment. But fortunately I had only my blankets and diary, with a few eatables, and therefore made up my mind to walk back in the morning, keeping along the beach. On the morrow at 5 a.m. a number of Martinborough canoes came down to the place where I had camped, and kepi luc for several hours reading their papers. They reported a schooner trading in whieky, and all the Indians about twenty miles in a state of drunken madness. My runaways returned about 8 a.m. with "hyas sick tum-tums" (very sick hearts), and much ashamed of their conduct. Camped for the second time at 7 p.m. Had a long couvc^ation with the Indians. They seem to have a name for every star. Left our second camping-gi-ound at 7 a.m. Bitterly cold. Soon after our departure we met a canoe taking home some white men who had been up to seek for gold near Quorsam ; where the Indians teported abundance. But none was found, and provisions falling short, these disappointed gold-seekers were reluctantly obliged to return. Arrived in the evening at the first camp of Indians. We nu moani men arn MIHSrONAKY VISIT To THE NOKTHEKN INDIANS. 51 bad a severe gale of wind nil day, but our splendid canoe outlived it. The Indians were alarmed at our coming. Their consciences are by uo moans clear of offence. The women ran into the woods and the men armed themselves But they soon were quite satisfied, and I spent three houra reading their papers. It is astonishing the love they have for a paper with their name on it, especially when it gives them a good character. I am grieved to say that whisky-traders and others give them papers testifying to their good conduct, when all the while they are most dangerous and wicked. For instance ; an officer of H.AI.S. Ihcate gave one man a true character, in which he said he was not to be trusted and was a great rogue ; whilst some person gave him the best of characters. In the morning all the Indians assembled themselves fur prayer. After service, the chief stood up and told me the hearts of all his tribe were very sick, as one Indian who had murdered a white man belonging to the schooner Thorndyke was still amongst them.. This man was subsequently given up and brought to justice. Left our third camping-ground and crossed over with a fair breeze, and arrived at another camp of about four hundred Indians. After dinner had a nice service, when I told them how happy we were to be able to visit them in their own lands, where we could attend on their sick, and provide food for the souls of all who liked to partake, with- out money and without price. After a severe night's cold and privation we left at 11 a.m. and took a straight course for Oyster Bay ; but owing to a strong head-wind and tide we were obliged to put into a small bay. Here spreading our blankets on the beach, we went to bed. In the middle of the night, liowever, we found ouraelves afloat ; and so comfort for the rest of our voyage was over, as the snow and frost would not allow them to dry. Just as I was thinking how unfortunate it was we were unable to make the next village, a large number of Clayhoosh Indians came down and stopped at our camping-ground. Unfortunately, however, the day was wet. I had however two nice services. In the interini I was examining the chief's papers. He appeared to have a large tribe under his command. Got to our fourth camping-ground, after a very cold and wet trip, at 6 P.M., where necessity compelled me to accept a house belonging to a chief. He made me very comfortable, and spread four new '.blankets over me. Here I found a great number of sick, and admini jtered to them all. Havinjr stayed here two nights, T started for home with a fair breeze. We got to Johnson Narrows in one day. I never saw or imagined anything like thuui. The rush of water w^as fearful, several feet high. But the Indians shot the rapids, as it is termed, and we providentially escaped where only a month ago three white men and two Indians were drowned by the upsetting of their canoe. Arrived in Comox on the evening of March 10, and was very thankful to find myself once more in the Mission House. I) 2 'ih^y ■ 1;' ti: iiili'i'if' n. 52 THE SWIHS MINKK. VISIT OP THK DISICOr TO TUB MISSION. Oil ^londay, November 20, his Lordship the Bishop arrived from Victoria by the gun -boat Sparrowhawk, ])uring his stay lio baptized a chihl, the parents of which had long wanted to get some clergyman of the Cliurch to do it for them. But wo found grout difficulty and danger in getting to the house. A river had to bo crossed, and the floods, owing to the late rains, were very high and rapid. The river was about two chains wide. The only crossing was a small tree, round, and slippery with the wet. Tlie water was quite up to it, and I believe frequently washing over it. His Lordship lod the way, and I followed. During the night the log was carried away. Since then the little one has died, and the parents are indeed grate- ful for what the Bishop did for them. They have become more than ever firm supporters of the Church. Soon after the funeral the father of the child told mo, with tears in his eyes, ** I shall never forgot his Lordship for running the risk he did, and shall ever be grateful fur the blessing he brought to ray child." THE SWISS MINER. EXTRACT FROM THE JOURNAL OF THE REV. J. B. GOOD, MISSIONARY AT YALE. 'If DEATH AND BURIAL OF A SWISS MINER. There were two Swiss brothers who for some years had farmed exclusively a rich bench of diggings on the opposite side of the river Fraser to the Boston Bar hotel. They had taken out a large amount of gold, and were saving tiieir money and sending it home to their widowed r ither in Switzerland, hoping in a few years to return to Europe with a competence, and settle down near their mother for the rest of their days. But, alas ! for human hopes and plans. Death has blasted these fond expectations, and one brother has been summoned away from earth without a moment's warning. He was killed on Monday, July 16, instantaneously, as was supposed. The body was not recovered before the Tiiursday morning following. Mr. S., of Yale, was sent for immediately to hold an inquest on the recovered body. On the com- pletion of the inquiry, Mr. S., believing it would greatly comfort the surviving brotlrr, and afford an opportunity to his friends of hearing something which might do them good, told him that he was snro I would willingly come out and bury his poor brother if he could send for me and pay the expenses of the journey. He was exceedingly gratified at the suggestion, and said that money was no consideratiou THE SWISS MINER. 53 to him at such a time, nnd that nothing would give him and his mother at home such sat iufaction an to know that tiie lost riten of the Church had been performed over the dead. He begged Mr. 8. to arrange for my coming out as early as possible the next day. I got the message about 10 p.m. on Thursday evening. Failing to procure a conveyance at the livery-stable, a merchant in Yale, who was intending to start for Cariboo the next morning, put off his joiu'noy for a day and oflered to drive me to Boston Bar and back. Accordingly we left early on the morrow, and reached our destination at half-past ten o'clock in the morning All the friends and neigh- bours were anxiously looking out for my arrival. Having robed, I proceeded to the dwelling in wiiiuh the dead awaited interment ; and there I was introduced to the poor broken-hearted brother, who wept over the departed like a child, and talked to him of home and their former companionship as though he were alive. He overpowered me with bis expressions of thankfulness on beholding a minister of God who had come all tliat way to bury his (brother. He told mo that the Swiss were a very simple-minded people and venerated the ministrations of tlie clergy, and especially in this matter of Christiau burial. We then sang, and after using the introductory service and reading the appointed Lesson, I addressed those present from the thirty- third and thirty-fourtli verses of the same chapter. Strong men who probably had not wept for years were much moved, and I was myself greatly affected. We then went to the grave in the corner of a beautiful corn-patch, in which the grain was lying in swaths, reminding one so forcibly of human com cut down by the keen sickle of death. Here I finished our beautiful service and again delivered a short discourse, after which we all moved quietly away. When we had taken some refreshment 1 had a long conversation with the bereaved brother about his home, his life, his mother, and his future plans. I promised to write a letter to his mother, and send it with a copy of the burial register for in- closure in his letter home. This I have since done. He insisted on my receiving from him a fee of twenty dollars, besides paying all travelling expenses, saying he was well off and could well spare the money. Shortly after I parted from him, and retunied homewards, thanking God for having sent me to this part of the mission-field and for having made me a minister of the CImroh of England. Surely we have in this part of the colony a great work to do for God and His Church, and a ready door stands open. I pray that I may have grace to enter and strength to occupy till I am moved away or my own end comes. iH) : 'V :' n m i J;l "'^!;: 54 GIRLS' COLLEGIATE SCHOOL, BUKDETT AVENUE, VICTORIA. LAYING THE COBXER-BTONE. The ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the Collegiate School for Girls, on the Church Reserve, was performed yesterday in the presence of several hundred people, a large proportion of whom were ladies. Among the ladies present we noticed Mrs. Kennedy and daughters, Mrs. Need- ham and daughters, Mrs. W. A.G.Young, Mrs. Hills, Mrs. Harris. The day was one of the most heautiful of the whole year. From the com- manding site of the Seminary could be seen the distant Olympian range, while the waters of the Straits, lying placid and unrippled, appeared like a belt of burnished silver glistening beneath the influence of the bright rays of the sun. Over the site a platform had been erected, and at precisely three o'clock the procession, having formed at the residence of the Bishop, marched in the following order : Compa- nies 1 and 2 of the Kifle Corps, headed by their fine band; His Excel- lency the Governor and Staff; Sir James Douglas ; the Hon. the Chief Justice ' the Hon. the Members of the Legislative Council; the Hon. the Speaker and Members of the House of Assembly ; the Mayor of Victoria ; the Members of the Bar ; the Lord Bishop ; tbe Archdeacon and Clergy of the Diocese; the Churchwardens of Christ Church and St. John's Church. The Volunteers took their place south of the platform, while the Lord Bishop and the Ven. Archdeacon Gilson, Revs. Cridge, Woods, Garrett and Reece, Governor Kennedy, Sir James Douglas, the Colo- nial Secretary, the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, the Treasurer, the Surveyor-General, the Mayor, Captain Lang, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Dr. Tolmie, M.L.A., Dr. Powell, M.L.A., J. G. Shepherd, Esq., and A. R. Bobertson, Esq., occupied places on the platform. J. J. Cochrane, Esq., M.L.A., Agent of tbe Lord Bishop, and "W. S. S. Green, Esq., Acting Registrar of the Diocese, were the Masters of Ceremonies. Rev. Mr. Cridge gave out the hundredth Psalm, commencing, "All people that on earth do dwell," which having been sung, was followed with a prayer by Mr. Cridge, and responses by the people. The Lord Bishop and the Ven. Archdeacon having read the prayers and services appointed, Sir James Douglas, advancing to the seat occupied by Mrs. Kennedy, escorted that lady to the foundation, where the Lord Bishop, advancing, addressed Mrs. Kennedy as follows : " It is my pleasing duty to ask you to perform now ih^ significant act of laying the corner-stone of this institution. This bbottmbly around you regard it as appropr.a' e that you should do this, being the wife of His Excellency the Govern '>r, and head of your sex in this part of the dominions of the Queen. We are gratified also at tbe propriety LAYING THE CORNER-STONE. 55 of your taking this part, being yourself a faithful daughter of the Church of our mother lauj, whose principles are here to be cherished ; and last, not leasts we regard you as exhibiting in your own accom- plished home the example of a successful education." The Bishop then presented Mrs. Kennedy with a silver trowel, on which was a suitable inscription. Mrs. Kennedy then proceeded to lay tue stone, beneath which was deposited an hermetically-sealed jar, containing a copy of yesterday's (jhronicle; a copy of the Colonist and Post; a few coins ; the last Eeport of the Columbia Mission; and a parchment scroll, on which was in- scribed the date of the ceremony, the names of those officially con- nected with it, and that of Mrs. Kennedy. The stone having been set and squared, Mrs. Kennedy struck it three times with a mallet, exclaiming: *' This stone is laid in faith and hope, to tlie honour and glory of God, through Jesus Christ our L i ».A \ il 58 girls' collegiate school. §!..h> holy undertaking, and to set an example by offijring the largest contribution to the work, we iieel there is a peculiar fitness in the pa)-t we now hope you will take." Mrs. Denman having deposited in the cavity a glass jar, contain- ing papers and coins, then laid the stone, saying, at the close, " This stone is laid in faith and hope to the honour and glory of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." The prayers being then concluded, His Excellency Governor Kennedy addressed the assemblage, saying that this was one of the most interesting occasions he had en- joyed since coming to this colony, and he hopbd that the first sound of the church-going bell would serve to remind many of the truth they had learned iu youth, and which too many, he feared, had now for- gotten. All would be taught in this building that God is a loving, and. often a punishing Power. The truths preached might be the means of bringing many back to the paths from which they had strayed to a proper respect for religion. He rejoiced to see members of other sects in attendance ; their presence showed that the modera- tion and liberality with which the ministers of the Church of England had performed their duties, and aided others to perform theirs, had met with full appreciation. A rivalry there might be, but he hoped it would be ever of a nature to tench all to do right, and point out the way to everlasting life. His Excellency expressed the thanks of the colony to Admiral and Mrs. Dunman, for the aid which they had given this church, and said that the donors might remember with a feeling of gratification, in after yeai'S, that they had been instrumental in erecting a noble building; for the worship and glorification of their Creator. m M' f.2 NEW CHURCH AT KSgUIMALT. ., I' SB ^! ''■'■! 111',;; The Chief Justice snid that St. Paul's was the eighth episcopal church establinhed iu this colony, a fact that bore wituess to the un- wearying zeal and energy of the ministers of that denomination. The spiritual requirements of the community of Esquimalt were great. It had the honour to be a great naval station, and the town had a duty to perform in return for the honour conferred upon it. The church that was shortly to rise from the ground on which he stood was a response to this feeling. Thore were sometimes ships at anchor in Esquimau harbour with 400 or 500 souls in their bosoms, without a chaplain, which raised up a want for a church. It was impossible to pay the dobt of gratitude that all owed to the great spiritual leader, the Lord Bishop. When he (the Chief Justice) first came to this colony, he shed tears of grtiitude to find an episcopacy here that was a reflex of that of dear old England. The colony was indebted to the ladies, but especially to the fair and noble lady who had stimulated, not only by words but by deeds, this great and good work. Let hope be swallowed up in certainty, and let all lend their powerful aid in advancing the cause of Christ. All hail and all hallow to it ! And when the building shall have crumbled to dust, and the records which have been deposited to lay beneath this foundation shall be uncovered by those who adore the great God, may they be enabled to look back and say, " This stone was laid, and this seed was sown, by our Pilgrim Fathers." His Lordship the Bishop of Columbia next came forward and delivered the following eloquent address : — " It is now almost seven years since the little school-room near this spot was erected through the zealous exertions of the Rev. R. Duudas. Since then, iu that building divine service has been conducted. The congregation having now outgrown the accommodation, and Esquimalt having become the dockyard, as well as the head-quarters, of Her Majesty's Navy in the Pacific, the time has come for placing the minis- trations of religion in a more worthy and suitable position. The church which is about to be erected will be an ornament to the neigh- bourhood, and at the same time sufficient to contain the local con- gregation, and also the crews of ships which may be destitute of chaplains. We are still a thousand dollars short of the necessary funds, a fact which we trust all present to-day will carefully treasure up, and practically consider. Why have we had all this ceremonial to-day ? Is* it not because the cause is worthy of all honour ? It is the cause of our God, and of the souls of men — it is the cause of true civilization and enlightenment of the mind. If the inauguration of any public work is worthy of honour, how much more this ? Such a commencement too is agreeable to tlie will of God, as revealed to us in the Scriptures. There we read that, ' When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord after the ordinance of David, king of Israel. And they sang together by course, in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord, because He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout > ■!■■ (JOliD KKK1,IN(J OF AMKRICAN HKAMKN. 63 vihen they praised the Lord, heco'-ise the fuiindatiou of the house of tlie Lord was hiid.' So we liRvo now done, and with how much more cause for praise and honour, in this fouudutiun of a Christian Church. As citizens of Britain, our duty is to carry forward the Christian civilization of our mother-hind. No country can prosper where God is not honoured and his laws respected. No greater judgment or Ciilaraity can befall any country in whose councils men prevail who fear not God nor regard the precepts of the Gospel. We desire, there- fore, to plant broad and deep the foundations of that Church under wliioh our mother-country has been blessed and prospered. We are pleased to see hei'e amongst us uot merely our own brave seamen, but lepresiUtatives of the gallant navy of the United States. From the north to the south, from the east to the west of those States, extends a branch of the Anglican Church, which has had a happy influence in the pacification of the country after its recent trial. Far more effec- tive for the peace of natious are the bonds of the Christian Brother- hood than mere self-interest, over which the passions of men will too often prevail. May this mingling to-day of the two navies be an augury of peace between the nations. But the object we have in view here is not merely to plant the Church, but to further that for which the Church of Christ was founded, even to promote the honour of God and the salvation of souls. In no way more effectually may the glory of our merciful God be set forth than by exhibiting His love to man in the gift of His Son. In this place we trust will ever be faith- fully set forth a Saviour crucified, and his ordinances duly administered. Al V our brave seamen, as they come here from their village homes in Britain, find the ' Church-going bell,' and the sights and sounds within the walls of this future sanctuary, a blessed and grateful likeness of what they have left behind in their ioved and distant home. Abundant, alas ! are the incentives to sin ; but here will be carried on, through the spirit of God's blessing. His own appointed means, the conversion and renewal of the human heart, whereby, in the great future of all, many shall be added to the multitude of the redeemed in bliss. May we all who have participated in the service of to-day, not treating it as a sj)ectacle to be gazed \ipon, but as an occasion for humble prayer for the Divine blessing, be oixrselves built up more and more a spiritual house, with Christ our Saviour for the corner-stone, upon whom who- soever trusts he shall inherit everlasting life." His Lordship was frequently interrupted by applause, and at the close of his remarks pronounced a blessing on those present, when H. M. ships Sutlej and Scout thundered forth a salute in honour of the occasion, aud after the National Anthem by the band, the assemblage retired. GOOD FEELING OF AMERICAN SEAMEN TOWARDS THE NEW CHURCH. One o^her circumstance of much interest, as exhibiting a feeling of generosi* and cordial good-will, deserves especial mention. The America tailors on board the United States ship of war, Saginaw, then lying in the harbour at Esquimalt, collected amongst themselves the sum of 8/. as i donation towards the funds for the erection of the new ohurch.

T ^hn Keble to the Bishop of Culumbin will be read with intereut by the friends of Missionary work : — " Penzancr, April 1st, 1864. " My dear Lord, — May I thus address you, b>'.ving had the honour and comfort (for I may truly say that I feol it to have been both), df hearing you three tinios speak of your see, and of your work — once at Winchester and twice at Torquay — and, moreover, in a dim distance of time it seems to me that you once came to see us at Hursley. I do not exactly know your present address, but I shall hope to fall in with you by touching at 79, Pall Mall — I mean by addressing this note to you there : it is to accompany a cheque for 145/., the 100/. being an offer- ing from the Rev. W. M. Darnell, once on a time my tutor at Oxford, now Bishop Butler's worthy successor in the Rectory of Stanhope. The odd 45/. is from myself and my wife, to make 50/. with a cheque for 51. oflTered at Torquay the other day. Since then I hear you have been in Ireland, I hope with good success, for it would indeed be an evil sign at this crisis if we were found abandoning such a mission. '* Pray believe mo, my dear Lord, '• Yours faithfully and very respectfully, *'J. Keble." ADDRESS FROM THE BISHOP AND CLERGY OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND TO GOVERNOR KENNEDY. On Saturday morning a Deputation of the Clergy waited by appoint- ment upon His Excellency, to present an Address. The following are the clergy who attended : The Lord Bishop of Columbia, the Vei-y Rev. Dean Cridge, Veuerablo Archdeacon Gilson, Revs. A. C. Garrett, C. T. Woods, J. Raynard. The Governor received the deputation with his usual courtesy. The Bishop read the Address as follows : — " Address of the Bishop and Clergy of tlie Diocese of British Columbia resident in the Colony of Vancouver, to His Excellency Governor Kennedy, C.B. : " May it please Your Excellency, — We desire to present an ex- pression of our hearty appreciation of your government and character ; of our fullest \ " We wii it'll y doubt t\ by wliic of its po our dcoj tftiiied tl our helo' "Dee I does not from a bo justice,' \ ready sy; educatior " Addr Anglican the spirit thankfulii t)ie best n example c day, and ( " In coi , health anc relatives a service, in His Provi( "We a ward Cric deacon o: Missions ; W.

" Deeply convinced that no people can permanently prosper which docs not recognise in its councils that ' wisdom which cometh down from above,' and whereby alone ' kings can reign and princes declare justice,' wo are thankful that we have ever found your Excellency's ready sympathy and aid in every good work, whether of religion, of education, or benevolence, which we have been permitted to undertake. " Addressing you, as we now do, as the Bishop and Clergy of the Anglican Church, to whom it has pleased God to commit so largely the spiritual care of this rising community, we beg to express our thankfulness for the support which has been constantly rendered to the best and highest interests of society by yourself and family, in the example of practical Christian life, of careful observance of the Lord's day, and of reverent attendance in the house of God. " lu conclusion, we earnestly pray for your Excellency and family ^ health and safety during your homeward voyage, happy reunion with relatives and friends, and a long course of continued usefulness and service, in whatever scene of duty and of honour it may please God in His Providence to call you.

Reynard, Missionary Clergyman." At the conclusion of the address the (xovemor, with emotion and marked feeling, read the following Reply : — " My Lord Bishop, and (Jentlemen, — I accept your parting words with deep satisfaction. If in the discharge of my duty to our Sove- reign I have been enabled to co-operate with the Bishop and Clergy in the promotion of any good work, and have had the opportunity of supporting and aiding them in their labours, I most heartily rejoice j and I gratefully acknowledge the ready and willing assistance I have received from your Lordship and the Clergy in any effort I may have made for the increase of religion, virtue, and morality. " In conclusion, I most cordially thank you for your good wishes, I shall long retain a lively remembrapce of your public labours and of your personal good-will." After much interesting conversation the deputation withdrew. — British Colonist, Oct. 23, 1866. •I „l .' I B GO i». ;i 4 '■ * \ F!: ■ 'I: ITEMS OF THE MISSION. PROGRESS OF THB ORUROH. SmoB the last Report, parsonages have boon built at Yale and Cow ichen. St. Paul's Churon, Nanaimo, has been consecrated. Chrint Church, Victoria, has been enlarged, consecrated, and named as the Cathedral of the Diocese. The Boys* Collegiate School, Victoria, has been considerably en- larged. The College for Qirls has been built and opened, and a School for half-breeds has been opened in Victoria. OHUROH DESTROYED UY FIRE. ^ Trinity Church, New Westminster, was totally destroyed by fire the evening of September 18th, 1865. Happily the bells presented by Miss Coutts, with the tower, were preserved. ADDITIONAL CLERGY. The following clergy have been added to the Mission since the last Report:— The Rev. F. B. Gribbell, the Rev. W. S. Heyman, and the Rev. T. Reynard. The Rev. J. Sheepshanks returned to the diocese April, 1866. APPOINTMENT OF DEAN TO THE CATHEDRAL. Christ Church, Victoria, having been named the Cathedral of the Diocese, the Rev. Edward Cridge, who, until 1859, was the sole repre- sentative of the Anglican Church in the British dominions on the Pacific, was appointed Dean, December 7th, 1865. The long residence and &ithful services of Dean Cridge have caused the appointment to be received with satis&ction by all classes in the colony. THE TELEGRAPH TO VICTORIA. The important connexion l^tween Victoria and the Atlantic by telegraph was completed April 24th, 1866, and messages were exchanged during the day between Governor Kennedy and the Presi- dent of the United States. By the completion of the Atlantic cable in August last, English news has been received in half a day. Great public rejoicings took place in Victoria. BAPTISM OF EIGHTT-TWO INDIANS BT THE BISHOP. On Whit-Sunday, 1866, sixty-five adults and seventeen children were baptized by the Bishop of Columbia at the Church Missionary Station, at Metlacatla. 6BBM0N TO THE MORMONS. In the last Report there was a notice of a sermon preached in the Temple of the Mormons, Salt Lake City, by the Rev. J.

His visit made a great impres^^ion, which the ^[ormon Elders studied to remove for some time after his departure. Those (lentilcs who heard him say that nothing could have been more forcible and more full of taot than his sermon to the Mormons." DEPAUTURE OF THE MISSES PENRICE. The departure of Miss Cathurino and Miss Anna Penrice took place August, 18 Go, amid many regrets from all clvses. For five yoara these good ladies had devoted themselves unselfi^iily and unremittingly to tho work of God in the diocese. Many, especially of tho young, will never forget their kind instruction, loving care, and holy .-xample. DEPAUTURE OK OOVERNUK KENNEDY.. Yesterday, the Lord Bishop of Columbia concluded an oxceMo/a Bormon at the Cathedral with the following allusion to tho approaci iug departure of (Jlovernor Kennedy and family : "It is not unui '^mg before I conclude that I should make allusion to a circnmstanc; wriioh is in the minds of all to-day, that this is the lost time we shall have amongst us in this house of God a family whose kindness and sympathy we shall long remember with gratitude. As a community at large, we cannot but consider the event as one of unusual importance. Many who do not attend here will participate in the regrets which we, as a congregation, especially feel. For have wo not walked together in the house of God as frieiids, and have we not all been strengthened and encouraged in our holy duties by their example 1 How constantly has that seat been occupied, notwithstanding all weathers ; and how steady the support we have had in all our congregational undertakings. I am sure I represent tho general feeling of this congregation when I say we sh^ll long remember them with affection, respect, and gratitude, that we shall follow them with our Christian 'ufvrest to whatever part of the world they may be called, and that our prayers are now offered for their safe journeying homewards, and for their future health and fullest happiness." The kind words of the Bishop quite overcame the members of the Governor's family who were present. — British Colonist, Oct. 23, 18G6. UNION OF THE COLONIES. The two colonies of Vancouver and British Columbia are now united into one — the whole called British Columbia. The Act passed the Imperial Parliament last August.
