Monday, June \9th, — Dr. Jenkins and Mr. and Mrs. Panter accompanied me in a very pleasant drive to Charlotte Town. The church at Cherry Valley was only one mile out of our course, being twenty- one miles from George Town, and ten from the Charlotte Town ferry. A very interesting congre- gation was assembled at this church, which is beautifully situated on the margin of a fine bay, and in a grove of evergreens. It was not finished until the hour of service (three o'clock), and to accomplish the completion the workmen had been employed through a large portion of several nights. It was 12 BISHOP OP NOVA SCOTIA S consecrated, and named after the Holy Trinity. Tiie burial-ground, whose situation is very picturesque, was also consecrated. I preached in reference to these ceremonies, and addressed the congregation, whose earnest attention encouraged me to detain them for some time, while endeavouring to satisfy them that all the employments in which we were engaged might be made instrumental to the glory of God, their own growth in grace and godliness, through divine faith, and their entrance into the paradise of God. Mr. and Mrs. Read, with several members of the church at Charlotte Town, met us at Cherry Valley. We were detained for some time at the ferry, in consequence of a very low tide, and were shocked to find the governor waiting dinner for us at nine o'clock. I ought not to omit the mention of the very warm interest which has been manifested by many indi- viduals for the advancement of the church in Cherry Valley, under the active encouragement of Mr. Panter; and we may humbly hope that a very engaging flock will be formed here. We received the kindest attention from Mr. Beres, who lives near the church. His family were Loyalists of 1783. > I ' :;..«. NEW LONDON. Tuesday, June 20. — Dr. Jenkins drove me nine miles to Mr. Lloyd's. Mr. Lloyd drove me eight miles, when we met the Rev. F. Roberts, who VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 13 A I 4 drove me on the New London road for some dis- tance, when he was obliged to leave me, and I pro- ceeded eight miles to a place where the best accom- modation in the neighbourhood was secured for me, on the right bank of the New London River, where I lodged. Wednesday f June 21. — The mercury was at eighty- four ; I crossed a short ferry, and found the Governor and Mr. Panter on the opposite side. His Excellency kindly drove me about a mile to the church of New London, which had been consecrated in one of my former visits. The burial-ground was now consecrated, and thirty-two persons were con- firmed. I preached, and addressed the confirmed ; and also encouraged the little flock here to renewed exertions for the repair of their church, and the support of their pastor, who they well know is worthy of all they can do for him. His Excellency drove me four miles to the residence of Mr. Roberts, who could find no accommodation nearer to his church ; an inconvenience which is often very serious. A convenient site, however, is likely to be secured for a parsonage, and we must hope to see a suitable building erected upon it, when, by the blessing of God, the means of the people shall be enlarged, and their feeling of their religious respon- sibilities shall lead them to appropriate some good portion of those means to the glory of God, the prosperity of His Church, and their own welfare in time and in eternity. Dr. Wiggins, who met us at New London, now took charge of me, and drove me 14 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA 8 fourteen miles to St. Eleanor's, and Mr. Roberts fol- lowed as soon as the Governor returned to Charlotte Town. ST. Eleanor's. Thursday J June 22. — St. John's church at St. Eleanor is a great improvement upon the former church, which was consumed by fire. It is very creditable to the place and people, having cost more than 400/., of which 50/. was given by the Society, and 70/. by the people of Charlotte Town. It was now consecrated, and thirty-four persons were con- firmed, — a larger number than had ever been con- firmed here at any of my former visits. I preached, and addressed those who were confirmed, and the congregation afterwards; which has been my uniform custom, as I find it desirable to say many things to the members of every flock — often in reference to their particular circumstances, which appear to be fitter subjects for a kind and familiar address than for a sermon. In the afternoon we drove, through heavy showers, (Dr. Wiggins and Mr. Roberts ac- companied me,) to Mr. Cambridge's (seven miles), beautifully situated on the bank of the Grand River, where we remained until the morning. POR'.^ HILL. Friday i June 23. — 'Mr, and Mrs. Cambridge joined us, and we were rtwed in a little boat to the ferry-house on the Port Hill side of the river VISITATION JOURNAL — 1 840. 15 (two miles). From thence we drove to Mr. Yeo's, a settler from Cornwall, and much respf^eted (four miles). Having nn hour to spare, I occupied it in walking over a glebe which has been givnn by bir George Seymour, a principal proprietor in this parish, who takes a lively interest in its welfare, and feels that this welfare will be best promoted by aiding the influence and promoting the prosperity of the Church. A pai*t of the glebe has been cleared, and will have an increasing value. We next proceeded to tiie church at Port Hill, which, thoup;h small, is compact, and suitable to the place, to which it is very creditable. Mr. Yeo's sub- scription for the building was 50/. It was conse- crated, with its burial-ground, and named after St. James. Fifteen persons were confirmed, and notice was given for the administration of the Lord's ^{ypi^QT, for the first time. I addressed the people on all the employments of the day, and found them very attentive. Dr. Wiggins gives the best attention in his power to the little flock which has been gathered here, by God's blessing upon his exertions ; but it is most desirable that a resident missionary should be placed among them. After the service, wx- drove four miles to the ferry, which we crossed ; then seven miles to St. Eleanor's, where we made a short stop ; and thence Mr. Iloberts accompanied me fourteen miles to Bedeque, where the night obliged us to stop. 16 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S WESTMORELAND HARBOUR. Saturday., June 24. — Dr. Wiggins came to us at an early hour, and we proceeded (twelve miles) to the church at Crapaud, or Westmoreland Harbour. The building is unique in this diocese ; but not unlike some old churches in England, with a porch on the side, and pews in the base of the tower. It is 'finished in good taste. The books, plate, and hangings, which are beautiful, were presented by the Dowager-Countess of Westmoreland, who has been a munificent benefactress to this island, and especially to this parish, of which a considerable portion is the property of her ladyship's family. More than three hundred persons were assembled ; but it was impossible, although every effort was made, to contrive accommodation for the whole within the church. It was consecrated, with the burial-ground, and named, by desire of Lady West- moreland, the church of St. John the Evangelist. Many would doubtless have been well prepared for Confirmation, if they could have been favoured with means for the requisite preparation ; but no pastor was at hand to guide and instruct them. I was glad, however, that four serious candidates were presented by Dr. Jenkins, who met me at this place ; and while these, as we humbly hope, received the full benefit of the Apostolic ordinance, a large congrega- tion were witnesses, for the first time, of the sim- plicity and the solemnity of the holy ceremony, to which, as well as to the previous sermon on all the VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 17 solemnities of the day, they appeared to give serious attention. After addressing the four who were con- firmed, I made an appeal to all before me, and encouraged the expectation of a resident Missionary, if they should supply good evidence of their earnest desire for so great a benefit. The Rev. J. H. Read has given a good portion of his time to this in- teresting settlement, where he is encouraged to labour with affectionate diligence. We w ere more than three hours in the church, and after some little delay proceeded, through a rough and very hilly road, (twenty -four miles,) to Charlotte Town, but did not arrive at Government House till after eight. < •. CHARLOTTE TOWN. ' Sunday i June 25. — More than six hundred persons were assembled for the morning service, in the church at Charlotte Town, when I preached on behalf of the Church Society, for which a collection was made. In the afternoon I preached again, with reference to confirmation ; and although I had confirmed ninety- nine of this congregation nine months ago, twenty- four were now presented, confirmed, and addressed. The sad deficiency in this fine church, is the want of accommodation for the poor, — a want which seems to be duly regarded by the congregation at large ; and therefore we may hope that, by the Heavenly blessing, some effectual means for its supply will, ere long, be found. ^ : '.:■> mum 18 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S Monday, June 26. — The morning was occupied by visits to members of the Church. The whole clergy of the island (would that the number were greatly enlarged!) arrived before three o'clock, when there was a very respectable meeting of the Church Society, in the Court-house. The Governor kindly took the chair, in which his Excellency was well supported by the Chief Justice, and several others of the most respectable portion of the Church. An ex- cellent feeling was manifested, and all seemed to feel that the want of church accommodation for the poor was to be regarded as a reproach to their more- favoured brethren. More than 100/. were im- mediately subscribed for the purpose of providing enlarged church accommodation in Charlotte Town, and large additions will be made to the fund thus commenced, as soon as an improved plan for pro- ceeding shall be formed. Tuesday i June 27. — Sir Henry and Lady Huntley took me to the few more distant houses which I had not yet been able to visit ; and afterwards drove me to the steamer, where the clergy and many excellent members of the Church were waiting to bid me farewell. I could not fail to carry with me a grateful sense of their kind attentions, and increased interest in the welfare, especially the spiritual welfare of their congregations. When I first visited the island (only eighteen years ago) we had no church there. Nine very respectable churches are now consecrated, and several others would soon be in hand, if a supply of clergymen could be obtained. Six additional Mission- . VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 19 aries are immediately required, and these would not be long employed in their ministry without procuring evidence that as many more would be required in a few years. A very neat building has been erected on the ground belonging to the church at Charlotte Town, which is occupied as a large infant daily school, and a Sunday school ; an undertaking which reflects great honour on all who have been engaged in it, and very particularly on Lieut. Orlebar of the navy, and Mr. Cundall, one of the churchwardens. The benefit to be derived can hardly be estimated, as it will, by God's blessing, be constantly increasing. The Governor, knowing its value, is an active and beneficent patron to it, and has just relieved the school from some embarrassment, by appropriating to its use a portion of the small fund derived from interest on the produce of the glebe in Queen's County, a measure in which I was glad to concur with his Excellency, who has just sent me a very engaging account of his recent visit to the school. I arrived at Pictou in the evening. ^ 1 « RETURN TO HALIFAX ORDINATION. Wednesday, June 28. — I was obliged to hasten to Halifax, to prepare for an ordination of which I had given notice ; and therefore left Pictou at daylight in the morning, in the mail-coach, and was at home in good time for dinner — more than one hundred miles. The driving would be thought strange in England : 20 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S f the coachman manages six horses, '^and sometimes drives eleven miles within the hour. I can recollect the time when it was scarcely possible to take a saddle- horse through this road. In passing through Truro, I saw one of the churchwardens, and was glad to be assured by him, that, as a consequence of a visit to that place and its neighbourhood, which I promised the Kev. Robert Arnold should make them, it was likely that the Society's most reasonable requisitions would be duly regarded. Sunday, July 2. — An ordination at Halifax, when the Rev. W. A. Weinbeer, of Berlin, and the Rev. Robert Arnold, of Trinity College, Dublin, B. A. — were admitted to the order of Priests ; and Mr. Philip J. FiUeul, of King's College, Windsor, B. A. and Mr. E. J. W. Roberts, sent to New Brunswick by the Society, were ordained Beacons. .1 i' ■>'■■? "" JEDDORE. *:t^ '''<>' ^ x U . •■ f F'S <<; ■ ''••- Saturday^ July 8. — I embarked with the Rev. J. Stevenson, who kindly acted as my Chaplain during my long vacation at Windsor, on board the Fair Rosamond, a very suitable vessel for the objects before me, commanded by Lieut. Bulman. I was indebted to the kindness of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam for selecting so convenient a vessel from his squadron, and placing her at my disposal ; as without such conveyance many important stations in the diocese would have been inaccessible to me. > .» VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 21 > i « The wind was so light, that the pilot recommended our remaining where we were ; but the commander, entering fully into my anxiety to make progress, weighed anchor, and before the day was finished wo were at Jeddore, between thirty and forty miles from Halifax. Mr. Stevenson, with his usual activity, landed, and proceeded seven miles to the church, and thus made the requisite preparations in good season. Sunday/, July 9.— "We were early in our boat, an> I « beautifully situated, and already more comfortable than I ever hoped to see the Missionary's residence on this shore. This building has been erected by the bounty of three Societies, aided by individual subscription — the two great Church Societies in England, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and our own very little Church So- ciety here. We hastened to the church, where some persons had been waiting from an early hour in the morning. Two hundred were now crowded into the little building ;' of these thirty-three, whose deportment was most becoming, were confirmed ; and I devoted as much time to them as I had given to the little flock at Jeddore. Here also all was rubrical, affording evidence that Mr. Stevenson's early and valuable lessons had not been forgotten. A day and Sunday-school, of fifty-two scholars, is well taught here by Mr. Eobinson, and Mr. Shellnutt has for many years read on Sundays, by my license, when no clergyman is here. Among our congre- gation was a person one hundred and three years old, who walked two miles to the church, and accom- panied us to our boat, after the service. We were on board our vessel for an eight o'clock dinner. ; POPES HARBOUR. :i'VAi|'- Tuesday, July 11. — Our cautious pilot would have lost this morning in consequence of strong wind and fog, but our active commander >Yas under sail at 24 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S H I ? daylight, and before seven in the morning we had advanced fifteen miles, and were at anchor in Pope's Harbour. One hundred and eighty persons were collected at the new church in this place, which would have been finished before this time, but the services of the visiting missionary, Mr. Jamieson, have produced a conviction that the church is on too small a scale, and the poor people have provided materials for enlarging and completing it. I went through all my usual services, and confirmed thirty- six persons, who appeared deeply impressed with the seriousness of their engagements. After the service I baptized two infants, but the whole congregation remained, which afforded me an opportunity for making known to them that hereafter baptism would be administered after the second lesson, and gave them the authority and reasons for this rule. There is a lay reader and Sunday-school here. Having now visited the three churches to which the greater portion of Mr. Jamieson's time is devoted, I was filled with thankfulness at the evident improvement which has followed his appointment, and is gradually spread- ing and increasing on every side ; and gladly bear my testimony to it, as holy encouragement to the extension of similar benefit to other places, whose difficulties cannot be more disheartening than were those of this long- neglected portion of the shore a few years ago. ? • • • . VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 25 d •e h jd SHEET HAKBOUR. Wednendai/f July 12. — A lovely day, but with- out wind. Our effort to pet out of the harbour was ineffectual, and, after drifting near a dangerous rock, we were obliged to anchor, and so a day was lost. This was the more to be regretted, as Mr. Jaraieson had made his way to Sheet Harbour, where he col- lected a large congregation in the hope of our arrival. The impossibility of this, however, was soon under- stood by all of them, and he therefore, very properly, officiated for them, and encouraged such as were able to meet us at Salmon River, near Beaver Harbour, where we were expected on the following day. BEAVER HARBOUR. SALMON RIVER. * Thursday f July 13. — We proceeded, very plea- santly, to Beaver Harbour, and were at Salmon River, in our boats, in good season for an afternoon service, which was attended by more than eighty persons, although the notice had been unavoidably insufficient Of these thirteen were confirmed, after an excellent sermon on confirmation, by Mr. Steven- son. I addressed the confirmed, and afterwards encouraged the little flock in their earnest endea- vours, through God's grace, to adorn their profession. Ihe frame for a church in this place is already pro- videt .. to be raised on a beautiful spot on the glebe, and I was glad to cheer them in their good work, 96 BISHOP OP NOVA SCOTIA 8 which they assured me should be forwarded. "We spent a fine evening in visits to members of the Church) and were glad to find a good school at Salmon River, taught by Mr. Stewart, and attended by thirty-two children ; and a young woman who had been distinguished at the National School at Halifax, employed as a teacher in Beaver Harbour. It was nine o'clock when we returned to our vessel for dinner. It, IS NEKUM TOUGH. Friday^ July 14. — We left our vessel in a boat, at an early hour, to make our way for fifteen milea through beautiful islands and ledges of rocks, but our vessel was compelled to take a more circuitous course. We were at a settlement (called indifferently Nekum Ceugh, or Nekum Tough) at eleven ; but the people were so scattered, and the notice had been so short and imperfect, that it required two hours and a half to collect a congregation of seventy per- sons, who were assembled in a school-house, to which we walked, over a rough road for a mile and a half, and then crossed a ferry. The schoolmaster here, Mr. Burnett, who is from England, and pro- fesses to be a Congregational minister, teaches in two school -houses, for the convenience of the people. He officiates also on Sunday, but I think the poor people are desirous to have the services of the Church. Mr. Jamieson can seldom make a visit to ihem, and no preparation had been made for con- VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 27 firmation. I was glad, however, to make them a visit, and preach to them ; after which I endeavoured to encourage some efforts for the building of a church, which would soon be effected, if, by the goodness of God, we should be enabled to place another visiting Missionary on this shore. The schoolmaster was very attentive to us, and had fitted up one of his school-houses very conveniently for our service. We joined the Fair Rosamondy in the harbour of Marie Joseph, at seven in the evening. 7 A ,\t MARIE JOSEPH. Saturday, July 15. — Our carpenter's crew fitted up a barn very neatly and comfortably with flags, so that nearly two hundred persons were conveniently accommodated. Mr. Jamieson had made his way through rough paths, and by boats, with some diffi- cult;^, to meet us here. He read prayers, Mr. Stevenson preached, and I confirmed thirty-nine persons, whom, as well as the congregation at large, I twice addressed; and administered the Lord's Supper to several who had long been deprived of this holy privilege. The attention of all (for all remained till the close of all the services) was most becoming, and widely different from the want of feeling exhibited in this place when I made my first visit to it. The principal magistrate was absent, but had requested that his house, and all he had, might be used for our convenience. He also 28 BISHOP OP NOVA SC0TIA*8 i expressed a very anxious wish to be with us, and promised every effort for this purpose. The barn which we used was his. By great exertion he arrived in time to be confirmed, and receive tlie Lord's Supper, for the first time, and appeared deeply affected. He expressed his conviction of the need of more spiritual instruction for himself and his neighbours, and promised immediate exertions to secure the erection of a church, in which all around him will take great interest ; and will earnestly hope and pray that the success of one Missionary will encourage the early appointment of a second, for a line of coast where the scattered condition of a numerous population, desirous of the ministry of the Church, especially calls for the appointment of another visiting Missionary. Mr. Jamieson was so nearly exhausted by the exertions he had been com- pelled to make in his very useful services to us, that I was obliged to request he would continue them no longer, but return to the abundant work that was calling for him in his proper station. He had pre- sented one hundred and fifty-four candidates for confirmation, whose appearance of right preparation was very creditable to him, and filled him with joy and thankfulness. Although our services occupied three hours and a half, we were embarked at two o'clock, hoping to reach Country Harbour, where we were expected on the morrow. The wind was light and variable, and by some mistake of the pilot, the vessel stuck in a mud bank in the harbour of Marie Joseph. All the usual expedients to get her VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 29 d ri off failed ; she could not be moved till the rise of tlio tide at sunset, and as there was no wind, she was ancliored for the night in deeper water, but in a very narrow channel. COUNTRY HARBOUR. Sunday, July 16. — Fog, calm, and head- wind, in painful succession, kept us at anchor ; and our mortification was increased, because the Iwpe of a fair wind prevented our giving notice for service on shore, which could not have collected a congregation in less than four hours. We therefore had service on board, and I preached to the sailors. Soon after one o'clock, a favourable change enabled us to sail through soundings alarmingly uneven, towards Country Harbour ; but we did not reach the entrance of it, until after dark, when we anchored. The commander fired a gun, as notice of our arrival, as I feared that the Rev. T. C. Leaver, from Antigonishe, and the Rev. Charles Shreve, from Guysborough, both of whom were to meet me here by different roads, each thirty miles in extent, would despair of my arrival, and return. The gun brought to us, in the course of two hours, a boat, from a fine new ship that had sailed from Halifax, with a wing of the 64th Regiment, and in less than eighteen hours, struck upon a reef of rocks, a few miles from us, and was totally lost. All on board were provi- dentially landed upon an uninhabited island, to the number of four hundred, and saved everything that was necessary for them, except bread and cocoa, which mm 30 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S Hi 1 r the commander of the Fair Rosamond was, happily, able to supply to this large number of persons. Monday^ July 17. — As there was no wind, the vessel was moved by sweeps into the harbour, and we proceeded to the church (ten miles) in a boat. On our way thither, we met Mr. Leaver and Mr. Shreve, who had two full services on Sunday at the church, and requested the congregation to look for the vessel, and be ready to assemble as soon after seeing her as possible. Our boats now proceeded, one along each bank of this noble harbour and river, giving notice of service to every family on its shores, which are particularly beautiful. After leaving our boats, we walked half-a-mile, and found more than one hundred persons at the little church, which has been finished and conveniently fitted up, in performance of a promise that was made to me at a former visit. This good work has been assisted by the active exertions of Mr. Sellers, the school- master and lay reader at this place. The church (Trinity) and its burial-ground were consecrated ; fifteen persons, to whose preparation the lay reader had devoted himself, were confirmed. I addressed these and the whole congregation on the services in which they had taken part, and exhorted them to a life of faith and holiness. The poor people are most anxious for more frequent ministration of the word and sacraments than they have hitherto en- joyed; and their condition calls for such benevolent attention. There are forty-seven families on the shores of the harbour, comprising three hundred VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 31 individuals, and nearly the whole profess to belong to our communion, or desire to live in it. After bidding farewell to our friends here, and commending them to the Heavenly blessing, we repaired to our boat, and were on board our vessel at seven. Mr. Sellers has twenty-five children in his daily school, and more in his Sunday-school. On my return to the vessel, I found a very feeling note from the surgeon of the 64th, (in reply to one which I sent to him, with an offer of any service I could render them, by procuring on the shore anything of which they might be in need,) informing me that all on Goose Island were well, and in hourly expectation of a vessel to take them back to Halifax. There are several interesting settlements between Country Harbour and the Straits of Can^eau, where I would gladly have ministered to the few members of our communion who are to be found among much larger numbers of other denominations, chiefly Presby- terians, who have their own ministers ; but I felt bound, with so much before me, to proceed to places where my poor services were more needed ; and ac- cordingly, we now sailed for Sydney, in Cape Breton. ®ape i3mon. . ^^. ■ '■ > . - ■/ SYDNEY. Tuesdai/, July 18, we were at sea for the day and night, which was rough. In sailing along the coast, we had a good view of the wreck, and of the soldiers on Goose Island. 32 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S Wednesday^ July 19. — Our progress was very good, and we anchored in the lower part of the harbour of Sydney, before midnight, after sailing nearly two hundred miles from Country Harbour. Thursday, July 20. — Soon after daylight, we moved up the harbour, and anchored close to the town of Sydney. The Rev. Charles Ingles and the Rev. W. Y. Porter were soon on board, and all the necrcsary arrangements for this neighbourhood were speedily made. I was received on the shore by many friends, who accompanied me to the rector's house. As it was not possible to proceed with any other duty this day, I devoted it to visits among the members of the Church, and especially to the widows. I was rejoiced to find the church greatly improved, and the addition of a respectable tower and spire. I made a visit to the Academy, a new and excellent building. - COAL MINES. .. ' • Friday y July 21. — We proceeded, with a large party, to the Sydney Coal Mines (seven miles) by water ; but the wind was violent, and the water very rough and uncomfortable for our boats. A mes- senger, who was sent previously, to give notice of our visit, by some mistake failed in giving it, which was the more to be regretted, as many of the miners who would have been glad to be with us, were under ground, and could not join us in time for our VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843, 83 service, although we were obliged to defer it till two ^ o'clock. A neat little chapel, aided by the Society, has been completed in this place, and with its burial- ground, was consecrated, and named Trinity Chapel. Seven persons (with their useful pastor, the Rev. William Elder, at their head) were confirmed. I ♦ » endeavoured to address them, and the whole of the little flock, in a suitable manner. Mr. Brown, the resident agent of the Mining Association, to whom we were indebted for very kind attention, has been very earnest in promoting the building of this chapel, and the influence and usefulness of the pious missionary. Among the persons whom I visited, was a very aged widow of the Church, now de- clining to her end in peace, and faith, and hope. She had been a parishioner of my father, at New York, and was there married by him, previous to the year 1783, when she and her family emigrated, with hundreds of Loyalists, to this colony. A very pretty village is springing up at the Loading -ground, about two miles from the mines, from whence there is a railroad to it, with an inclined plane. We returned to our vessel at eight in the evening. NORTH-WEST ARltf. Saturday, July 22. — Mr. Ingles and Mr. Steven- son were so unwell as to be unable to move j but the Rev. W. Y. Porter, and several gentlemen of 34 BISHOP OP NOVA SCOTIA S Sydney, crossed the harbour with me, and proceeded (four miles) by a tolerable road to a neat little chapel, which has lately been finished, on the North- west Arm, — a bay which leads to the Loading- ground, near its mouth. The Rev. William Elder met me here. One hundred persons were assembled, and completely filled the building, which is very prettily situated, on a promontory running into the bay. The chapel, now named St. John's, and its burial-ground, were consecrated ; and I endeavoured to improve the opportunity for encouraging the members of the congregation to increased love for the Church and her services, and new zeal in adorning their holy profession. The candidates for confirma- tion were to be presented at Sydney. We dined at Captain Ouseley's, who has taken a warm interest in this chapel, and in those who attend it, and returned £0 Sydney by a circuiitous route of eight miles, to avoid re-crossing the harbour. Messrs. Ingles, Porter, and Elder preach here as often as they can be spared. SYDNEY. Sunday, July 23. — A fine day, but, like several we had lately passed, very hot. I was a little alarmed at the appointments for this day, after a painful and sleepless night, the effect of sciatica, brought on by exposure in boats, after being much VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 95 heated in churches ; but was thankful to fulfil those appointments ; in pursuance of which I preached an ordination sermon, and admitted the Rev. William Elder to the order of priests, in the parish-church at Sydney, filled by a numerous congregation, of whom fifty-three partook of the Lord's Supper, After an interval of only half-an-hour, we returned to the church, where I baptized two adults, preached on confirmation, confirmed eighty-eight persons, and was led, by their engaging deportment, to offer them an address of affectionate encourage- ment. , ■-'^::^.< ■■■•■■■■:.<■ . "v .\- •--* ■ :' 1 .' -s- ' • . i CATALOGNE. . ; . . ,. Monday, July 24:. — Mr. Leonard, a friend of long standing, drove me over a road so rough as to give me much pain, to Miree River (twelve miles). Here we were obliged to take a boat, which con- veyed the clergy, and several other friends who accompanied us, through beautiful scenery, for six miles, to Miree Bay, an exposed place on the sea- shore ; and from thence another mile brought us to Catalogne, near which a church is to be built. A congregation of more than sixty was here as- sembled ; but, as the room which is usually occupied for service by Mr. Ingles and Mr. Porter would not contain so many persons, the shell of a building, lately raised, was quickly prepared for us. Its roof was not yet shingled, and, unfortunately, before the first lesson was finished, a shower of rain fell so , _„ / .no BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S %>*' heavily upon us,that we were obliged to move to the dwelling-house, and occupy all its rooms. I addressed my crowded hearers, both before and after confirm- ation, which was administered to twenty candidates. All were attentive, and much seriousness was mani- fested. On our return, we were exposed to several heavy showers. This fine river is navigable for twenty miles ; and while Cape Breton was possessed by the French, supplied their finest timber. It was some time after dark when we returned to Sydney. Tuesday, July 25, — Our work at this place being completed, for which I was full of gratitude, as well as for the cheering evidence of improvement and advancement in all things pertaining to the Church, we intended to sail ; but a violent gale detained us. I was in pain, and therefore remained quietly on board my vessel ; but several friends from the shore visited me. Wednesday y July 26. — "We were in motion at daylight, and made good progress as far as Scatarie, when a emart gale a-head made us uncomfortable for the night. ;ti-M: Mr LOUISBURG. .'C; Thursday, July 27. —At an early hour we made our way, through fog and rain, into thcJ harbour of Louisburg. The Rev. Mr. Porter, who had walked across the country from Mirec Bay, came on board, and requested that a gun might be fired, as notice to !■ /'..j-j!' VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 37 a settlement at Loran, who would be watching for such a signal. I landed, and nursed my painful limbs by a warm lire, until one o'clock, when more than seventy persons were collected for our service, in the house of Mrs. Loraway, who, as several other aged persons did, reminded me of my visit to them forty years ago. Mr. Stevenson jH^eached, and I confirmed thirty-seven of the congregation, whom I addressed, both before and after their confirmation. They were earnest in their attention, and seemed to be deeply impressed. Not one would quit the building with- out coming to me to teke my hand in a very affec- tionate manner, and receive my blessing. I gladly encouraged them in tho good work they had already commenced, — the erection of a church, for which a site has been well selected and given by Mr. McAlpin. The present chief settlement is more than two miles from the site of the ancient fortified town, whose ruins are still interesting. Serveral of the present inhabitants are children of soldiers, who assisted in the siege and capture, by Lord Amherst and General Wolfe, in 1758. In my former visit, in 1805, one of those soldiers was living among the ruins, which he described with a very clear recollection of their former state. I would gladly have gone through them again, but was too lame to venture upon any exertions beyond those which were* required for the discharge of my solemn and engaging duty. ■J"'::"^' 88 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S ARICKAT. Friday i July 28. — Fine weather, and fair wind, which gave us a most agreeable sail along the coast of Cape Breton, towards Arichat, where, after some little delay for a pilot, we anchored, at three p.m. Mr. Stevenson landed immediately, as we were anxious to proceed with our work. He brought to the vessel Mr. Shaw, the Missionary, and Mr. Wat- son, the lay-reader at Port Hood, These told me there was no hope of collecting a congregation on this day, and particularly because most persons were occupied by a large sale of wrecked goods ; nor would it be possible, as they assured us, to reach another station, after an early service here. Mr. Shaw therefore prevailed with me to remain here for Sunday. Saturday, July 29. — Rain, fog, and high wind, which prevented our landing as early as we desired. I was enabled, however, to go on shore in the middle of the day, and see many members of the Church. At three we had a service, which was well attended ; and I preached, to prepare for confirma- tion. We dined at Mr. Shaw's, whose cottage is beautifully situated on the margin of a lake, but, unfortunately, two miles and a half from Arichat, to which the road is very bad. Mr. Shaw made such a report of Ship Harbour, in the Strait of Can^eau, as determined me at once to visit that place. ^ ' 1 VISITATION JOURNAL— 1843. 3d V * Sunday, July 30. — We had service on board at nine, when Mr. Stevenson read prayers and preached At eleven, nearly two hundred persons were as- sembled in the church at Arichat. 1 preached, con- firmed fifty persons, among whom was our excellent commander, Lieut. Bulman, and addressed those first, and then the congregation on their respective duti :-. In the afternoon, I preached on private and public worship, and endeavoured to draw the atten- tion that was required, to the directions of the rubric, and to place this attention upon its most solemn ;;vound. On our way to our vessel, I took the only opportunity of returning a visit, with which I had been favoured by three clergymen of the church of Rome, whose congregation in Arichat, chiefly composed of French, exceeds three thou rand souls. They have a fine spacious chapel, which can accommodate the whole of this large number. w =■?;,- :.^--' Ji ^ SHIP HARBOUR. ^. . Monday, July 31. — Wc moved with the dawn, and made our way, through rain and thick fog, to the Strait of Can9eau, (often spelt Canso,) where we could no longer see our way, and were compelled to anchor for two hours. Mr. Hadley, the principal magistrate on the Nova Scotia side of the Strait, came on board, and informed us we were three milr:^ below our little church at Milton; and that Mr. Shreve had been here yesterday, hoping to see us, and had just returned to Guysborough. We weighed 40 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S anchor at the first favourable moment, and were in Ship Harbour at one o'clock. Mr. Watson had passed through this place a few hours before, and gave notice that an afternoon service might be ex- pected. Mr. Stevenson landed to secure the neces- sary preparations, and Mr. Hadley conveycl notice to the Nova Scotia side. Eighty persons were thus assembled at five o'clock, and a raethodist chapel, in a state of decay, and now much neglected, was pre- pared for us. It was erected in 1828, chiefly by an agent of a large Guernsey establishment, when a mission-house was also built ; but no minister has resided here for seven years, and much desire was now expressed to have the services of a Clergyman. I endeavoured to address the congregation upon the peculiarity of their situation, and to encourage their regard for the Church, in which many of them had been baptized, and to renew the engagements of their baptism, in solemn seriousness and holy faith. Fifteen came forward for this purpose, whose manner was particularly serious ; and in a subse- quent address I endeavoured to encourage the permanent influence of the good feeling that was manifested. I had afterwards an opportunity for conversation with several of the inhabitants, some of whom were from Devonshire, and they earnestly entreated me to make some provision for their future spiritual instruction and consolation. ' ?. ?vV^ ^ ^^ x^^^^ .^^^.A^^ > ■ < VISITATION JOU RNAL — 1 843. 41 ; ST. GEORGES BAY. Tuesday, August 1 . — Head wind and a strong tide prevented our moving till ten o'clock, after which our progress was slow, but we were passing through very beautiful scenery, until we entered St. George's Bay, which is a part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where we could make little progress with a light head v ind, which continued through the remainder of the day and the following night. . ->; . PORT HOOD. Wednesday i August 2. — We persevered in our effort to reach Port Hood, and were about to enter our boat ten miles from the shore, when a slight change of wind favoured us, and we anchored at the mouth of the harbour at one. We rowed in our boat two miles and a half to the shore, where the hope of seeing us had been given up, and those who had assembled in the morning to meet us had gone to their home. I off*ered to wait till four o'clock. Messengers were sent in different directions, and more than fifty persons were collected in the Court- house. Several persons told me, so little was known in this place, (cut off" from all communication with the Church,) of the ordinance of confirmation, that the most willing, and best prepared in heart, would be afraid to partake of it. I thought the time had 42 BISHOP OP NOVA SCOTIA 8 it t IllP '''la,< arrived when they ought to receive some instruction on the subject, which might assist in creating a desire to receive it, if some future opportunity shouhl be presented to them ; I therefore endeavoured to enter fully, but very plainly, into the whole subject, and perceived so much earnest attention in those who listened to me, that, however pleased, I was scarcely surprised when fifteen of this little and neglected flock, with very engaging seriousness, requested to be admitted to the benefits of the Apostolic rite. They seemed deeply affected in partaking of it, and when I afterwards addressed them, and urged the adorning of the doctrine of their Saviour, in fulfilment of the solemn engagements which they had just renewed. I improved the opportunity for seeing as many of the people as my time would permit. They seemed much encouraged by my short visit, and in the hope that some effort will now be made to give them even a portion of a Missionary's time and labour, they seemed anxious to make exertions among themselves to aid the building of a little church ; and the head of a large family took me to a beautiful spot, of which he determined at once to appropriate one acre, worth 40/. for the site of a church and burial ground. Although Port Hood is an assize and county town, so called, and is in the centre of a large scattered population, it has but few houses as yet, but several of these are occupied by very respectable families, who were brought up in the Church. I was very thankful at my successful perseverance, through some difficulty and discouragement, in the attempt VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 43 to make this visit, thougli much too short, to so interesting a little society. We embarked in the evening, but could not move from our anchorage, which was not very safe, until early next morning. > I * PICTOU. Thursday, August 3. — Occupied in beating through St. George's Bay, against light winds, and when these ceased, we were obliged to anchor some miles outside of the harbour of Pictou. Friday, August 4. — Our progress was so slow, that we did not land at Pictou till noon, when we immediately made our arrangements for a journey by land to River John, eighteen miles, and Pug- wash, thirty-five miles farther. Soon afterwards there was a frightful storm of wind, lain, and hail, with thunder and lightning. Several barns in the neighbourhood were blown down, many windows were broken, some cattle were killed, and the streets were overflowed. The squall struck our vessel on her broadside, and pressed her with so much violence, that three streaks of her deck re- mained in the water till the storm abated. Imme- diately after this, Mr. Elliott, the valuable Missionary of the place, set out for River John, that due notice might be given for service there, and Mr. Stevenson and I followed him at a very early hour. 44 BISHOP OP NOVA SCOTIA S RIVER JOHN, Saturday, August 5. — At ten o'clock nearly one hundred persons were assembled in the church at River John, which I was grieved to find in a very comfortless and neglected condition, partly owing to great failures in the lumber trade, on which many of the people of this place have chiefly and unwisely depended. It was my endeavour, while in the pulpit and afterwards, to make the people feel what was due to the house of God, if faith and holiness were worthy of their regard. Seven were con- firmed, whom I exhorted as to all other duties, so also to their share in saving the congregation from the sad reproach of neglecting their church. Pro- raises of better things were made to me, and I trust they will be performed. ■■■ li:-,,- TATAMAGOUCHE. WALLACE. Here Mr. Stevenson was obliged to leave me to fulfil engagements in his own mission at Falmouth, and to prepare for the approaching term at the college. His assistance has always been so valuable to me, that I could not part with him without much regret. Mr. Elliott proceeded with me. We stopped (at the house of Mr. Campbell, a member of our Legislative Council,) at Tatamagouche (fifteen miles) for an hour: a settlement formed principally by French Protestants, whose ancestors emigrated to N f VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 45 this province nearly one hundred years ago. Many of these would gladly have joined the Church, if there had been a church to join ; but most of them are now united with the Methodists. I discovered, however, when it was too late to make the discovery of any avail, that some among them had heard enough of confirmation to be desirous of partaking in its benefits. We proceeded (ten miles) to Wallace, chiefly a Presbyterian settlement, where I was induced to accept the hospitality warmly proffered by Mr. McFarlane, another member of our Legis- lative Council, with whom I remained for the night ; but Mr. Elliott proceeded to Pugwash, to give notice and make preparations. The road from River John was new to me ; it runs through a pretty country, with extensive settlements, and not very distant from the shore of Northumberland Strait, which is a part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The weather was oppressively warm. vV/N>V>'-vy . .. f - PUGWASH. ,; ..■, ,;.. ,'•-■■,> Sunday, August 6. — Weather fine, but very warm. I proceeded ten miles, over an excellent road, to a comfortable lodging, provided for me by Mr. Elliott at Pugwash. The approach to this compact and striking^ village is very beautiful, with noble sea vi^ws; and its churclT is' a very interesting object, the exterior of which is well finished and painted. Two hundred persons were in it at eleven, but con- \ -U:*'' 46 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S firmation was doubtless strange to mapy of them. After the second lesson I baptized two adult females, sisters, whose intelligence and devotion were very engaging. One of them is a well-qualified teacher. I endeavoured to make confirmation plain to my hearers, of whom nine received the rite, and they all, by their seriousness and feeling, encouraged me to oflfer them as earnest and persuasive an exhorta- tion to a steady progress in the Christian life as I could address to them. In the afternoon the church was again well filled. I baptized another adult, of much good feeling and intelligence ; and administered confirmation to ten persons, including the three baptized adults, whom I endeavoured to address with affeci on. I consecrated the burial- ground, and had an opportunity for explaining the origin and nature of this service, with the solemn application which should be made of it ; I had an opportunity for urging upon the people the duty of exertion for the completion of their church ; and, if I may judge from the attention with which I was listened to, I may hope that my endeavour will not be vain. Much thankfulness was expressed for such attention as Mr. Elliott and Mr. Townshend, of whom they spoke very affectionately, had been able to afford to them, though at distant periods ; and they earnestly implored that another Missionary might be sent to this growing part of the country, where the faithful services of a zealous clergyman would be very likely, with the Divine blessing, to be full of benefit to the people, and of comfort to himself, as VISITATION JOURNAL — 184:1. 47 les, ery tier, my they I me y srta- :e as I the other ; and uding red to )urial- ig the solemn lad an luty of and, if I I was vill not or such end, of I able to nd they [light be lere the [ould be full of iself, as Mr. Elliott and Mr. Townshend, who regret that they can afford them but a small portion of their time, corfidently testify. As the church at River John had been built originally for a dissenting meeting-house, and secured for its present object very much through the exertions of Mr. Elliott, so the church at Pugwash was built for an Universalist chapel, and purchased for the Church, chiefly through very exemplary exertions, by Mr. Townshend. Monday, August 7. — After a visit from the acting churchwardens and principal members of the church, Mr. Bergman, a zealous member of our communion, drove me fourteen miles through a fine country, along he shore of the Gulf, to visit a glebe on the river ' 'lace, which is worth some care, that it may liereafter be valuable to a resident clergyman. We saw our vessel in the distance, doing all that light winds would permit to get to us, and she arrived at the mouth of the Pugwash Har- bour soon after our return to the village. The commander came three miles in his boat, and took me on board with him before night. Tuesday, August 8. — We were under full sail at four o'clock in the morning, and, having a fair wind, we made a fine run of eighty miles, when the breeze died away, and having taken a pilot on board, we anchored under the light-house on Point Escuminac, at the mouth of the Bay of Miramichi. ■; '4f i i 48 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S iBeto ^runstotcl^. CHATH> -BLACK VILLI"!. I Tuesdty^ August —We were again sailing at daylight, but the p;iiid was so light, that a head current obliged us to anchor again. At nine o'clock we made a more successful effort, and after a delight- ful sail cf forty miles, anchored at Chatham at three in the afternoon. Mr. Bulman landed with me, but after seeing Mr. Bacon, and several excellent mem- bers of his flock, we returned to our comfortable vessel to dine and sleep. Wednesday, August 9. — The morning was occu- pied in making arrangements, and sending notices for service in several places, by special messengers. Having sent forward horses to cross a ferry on the Miramichi River, eight miles above Chatham, Mr. Henry Cunard drove Mr. Bacon and myself thither, a^d pro{^eeded with us five miles farther towards Blackville, where we stopped for the night at the best inn on the road. Thursday, August 10. — Unhappily a day of rain ; but we proceeded fifteen miles to the church at Blackville, where Mr. Hudson, the zealous visiting Missionary in this part of New Brunswick, met us, having preceded us from Chatham. The congrega- tion whom he is accustomed to meet here are scat- tered over an immeuii^e extent, and some of them are forty miles distant from the church. Some candi- dates for confirmation would have come from so VISITATION JOURNAL— 1843. 49 great a distance, if the weather had been favourable ; and some did travel fifteen miles through the rain. To our surprise, a congregation of sixty were assem- bled, of whom nineteen were confirmed. The church (Trinity) was consecrated, I preached, and, as usual, delivered an address, to which my hearers appeared to give earnest attention. I could not fail to congratulate them upon the completion of a beautiful church, all of which is in excellent taste, and reflects much credit on the Rev. J. Hudson, who has devoted himself exceedingly to this, and indeed to every part of his laborious work. This little church would be deemed an ornament to any hamlet or village in England. After the service, we returned through the rain (twenty-eight miles) to Mr. Bacon's at Chatham. BAIE DES VENTS. Saturday, August 12. — A violent storm of wind and rain ; but we were compelled to brave it. By the kindness of our friends, several of whom shared in the discomfort of the drive, a relay of horses enabled us to drive twenty miles, without any delay on the road, part of which was very bad ; and thus we reached Baie des Vents ; but we had now to cross a river, which would have been dangerous, if an excellent boat had not been provided for us ; and after crossing this ferry, we had a very wet wnlk of half-a-mile to the church. This building has been s so BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S ! i n remodelled and enlarged, at much expense, by Mr. Hudson, and is j-r.ore perfect, in its kind, than any church in the diocese ; indeec t would bo thought a beautiful appendage to a p?t/.ace. Every- thing about it is in perfect keeping ; it is alike finished, ornamented, and furnished with excellent taste ; and it is truly surprising to find so perfect a building in so remote a place. It is impossible not to regret that it is not in a place of more frequent resort, that it might stimulate others to copy such a pattern. It is very prettily placed on the margin of a fine bay. I consecrated the burial-ground, the church (St. John's) having been consecrated in a former visit. Most of its congregation have access to it only by water ; and water communication was rendered impossible now by a very violent gale of wind. It was not, therefore, surprising that our congregation was reduced to thirty persons. Of these nine were confirmed, and I preached, and ad- dressed them, regardless of number. To Mr. Hud- son it was a source of very painful regret, that only eighteen of the hundred candidates whom he hoped to present for confirmation at his two beautiful churches, should have been able to meet him on so interesting an occasion. Those, how- ever, who were exposed to the storm, were thankful that even eighteen could be assembled. This little band seemed deeply impressed with the solemnity of their engagements, which I trust, with God*s blessing, will have a due and permanent effect. We returned to Mr. Bacon's, at the close of this stormy |ir ill VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 51 day, and thankful to be without injury. I cannot omit to mention, that all the windows of the Baie des Vents church have painted glass. The plastered walls present a perfect imitation of stone, with which the open seats and desk and pulpit correspond. Scrolls on the walls contain well-selected portions of Scripture ; and on each of the fifteen panels in the front of the gallery, the arms of some see are emblazoned. Hangings, service-books, and plate, are in similar style, and the whole floor is matted. >S^^««^S^^Ai/^'V^^N«'N^ CHATHAM. Sunday, August 13. — Two hundred and fifty persons met me in the morning, at the parish church, which is three miles from Chatham, that it may serve for some members of the Church at New- castle, on the opposite bank of the Miramichi. I preached, confirmed fifty-two persons, who seemed to have been well prepared by their affectionate pastor, and, as usual, addressed them and the whole congregation. I had an opportunity of seeing several worthy members of the Church after the service ; and at St. Mary's Chapel, at Chatham, met more than two hundred persons in the afternoon. The chapel, which is an excellent and commodious Gothic building, and is like the parish church, and finished in good taste, was consecrated, in reference to which I preached. Five persons, who could not present themselves in the morning, were confirmed, 52 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S and I addressed them as I was accustomed to address larger numbers. ^ PARTING WITH LIKUTENANT BULMAN. Wednesday, August 14. — We rejoiced in a fine day. Mr. Henry Cunard drove Mr. Hudson and myself five miles along the right bank of the river, where my kind commander met us in his boat, that he might take us to a more convenient point for crossing than the ferries afforded. After rendering this last service, I took an affectionate leave of him, with very sincere thanks for untiring and most attentive kindness through the month during which I was his passenger. Under ordinary management, six weeks would have been required for the same work ; but he entered fully into all my anxiety to avoid the unnecessary loss of an hour, and by his indefatigable exertions he saved us from regret at not being in a steamer ; for a steamer would have required, for the voyages we performed, as much time as the Fair Rosamond occupied, with the ex- ception of only three days. This may be regarded as a remarkable circumstance in a sailing vessel, which had to enter so many harbours as we visited. BATHURST. — NEW BAND ON. After parting from Lieutenant Bulman, he sailed for Halifax, and we travelled rapidly, though thQ VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 58 tailed the day ^vtts hot, sometimes nine or ten miles within the hour, and on a road which was not easy for a saddle horse when I first passed through it, and crossed a ferry to Bathurst, fifty miles from Chatham, before sunset. Here we were comfortably accommodated by Mr. Cunard's agent, Mr. Woolner. Tnesdai/^ August 15. — Mr. Woolner drove the Rev. A. Somerville and myself sixteen mile?, over a very bad road, to New Bandon. This settlement, on the Bay of Chaleur, has been brought into a comfortable state by Protestant emigrants from Bandon, in the county of Cork ; and a very large majority of them are members of our communion. With the aid of the Society, they have completed a very neat little church, which is very creditable to the poor people, who were greatly cheered in the work by the attentions of Mr. Somerville, for whom they entertain much afiection. Nearly one hundred and fifty persons were crowded into the little building, which they regard with affectionate pride. It was consecrated, with its burial-ground; forty-five persons were confirmed, who had been prepared by Mr. Somerville; and I preached, and addressed my very attentive hearers at some length, encouraging them to a thankful improvement of the blessings they enjoy in their new home. After the service, we were obliged to hasten our return, as the badness of the road warned us against delay. To avoid some miles of the roughest part of it, we were obliged to drive upon the sea-beach, without any road, though sometimes compelled to drive through the water, to 54 BISHOP OF NOVA 8C0T1A*8 avoid rocks, and were sometimes threatened by the tide. The scenery througliout is beautiful, and much of the land is very productive. In crossing the Bathurst ferry, we had a magnificent thunder- gust, and very heavy rain. BATHURST. Wednesday y August 16. — Mr. Woolner drove me, at an early hour, to a farm of Mr. Cunard's, which is an encouraging exhibition of great progress and improvement in agriculture. At nine we were in the church at Bathurst, where nearly one hundred and fifty persons were present, and among them a few from New Bandon, who told me they wanted once more to hear my blessing. Seventeen were confirmed. I preached and addressed the whole flock, partly in reference to the employment of the day, and partly on the peculiar circumstances of the Church in this place, which call for more than ordinary steadfastness and union. Mr. Soraerville*s health is much broken, and he is desirous to retire. The kindness of his disposition has obtained much regard for him, but all have felt for some time that a change of pastor is essential to the interests of the Church ; and they were much cheered by my assur- ance that, whenever a fit person could be found to take charge of this interesting flock, which, with God's blessing, ought to be greatly enlarged, he should be sent to Bathurst. As yet, unhappily, no > I i VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 65, • 1 Lord's Supper. I preached on the ordination, and addressed the confirmed, and the whole congregation. I was nearly exhausted by the heat, but the happi- ness of Dr. Jarvis was reviving, and it was impossible not to join in his fervent gratitude to God. "We drove nine miles for an afternoon service at Cocaigne, where one hundred and fifty persons, most of whom had been with us in the morning, were assembled; and the church, a very creditable building, was con- secrated, with its burial-ground, and named after St. Alban. I preached again. Before the con- clusion of the service, the rain, which had threatened for some time, fell heavily. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Hudson here left me, after giving me their aifec- tionate attention and kind assistance during all my employments in this eastern portion of New Bruns- wick, and proceeded a few miles on their return to Chatham. I returned with Dr. Jarvis to another late dinner at his parsonage. DORCHESTER. SACKVILLE. WESTCOCK. Monday, August 2\. — After a visit to Mrs. Han- nington, the widow of the amiable and most liberal and pious founder of the Church in this part of the province, I left Shediac, accompanied by Dr. Jarvis, Mr. Black, and Mr. Townshend, and arrived at Dorchester, (twenty -five miles,) for a service at three o'clock. A very neat church was consecrated, and named Trinity ; nineteen persons were confirmed ; 60 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S im m^ sermon and address as in all other places. We dined at Mr. Chandler's, Member of Council, and pro- ceeded to Mr. Justice Botsford's, (seven miles,) where we slept. Tuesday, August 22. — Service in the Sackville church at eleven. I baptized a very interesting adult, preached, confirmed thirty-two persons, and addressed them ; and afterwards endeavoured to encourage all in affection for their increasing church. The singing here, as at Dorchester, and many other places, was excellent, for which they are much in- debted to the skill and taste of their pastor, Mr. Black, who is much esteemed. After stopping at the parsonage for a short time, we drove seven miles through a bad road to Second Westcock, where a neat little chapel (St. Stephen's) was consecrated ; and I preached in reference to the consecration. The congregation was small, in consequence of rain, which fell heavily upon us, when returning to Judge Bots- ford's, to a late dinner. WESTMORELAND. BAY VERTE. . . Wednesday, August 23. — We escaped several heavy showers, and were at Westmoreland church (nine miles) at eleven o'clock. The burial-ground belonging to it was consecrated, and fourteen per- sons were confirmed, who had been prepared by Mr. Tow'ishend. Sermon and address as usual, with a call upon the people for increased exertions on be- half of their Church. VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 61 "We then proceeded (fifteen miles) to Bay Verte, where the shell of a respectable church has been erected. A large congregation was assembled, but Mr. Townshend*s duty in other places had prevented his attention to the subject of confirmation in this place, where the more frequent services of a clergy- man would be likely to be greatly blest. Five persons desired to be confirmed, after listening to a sermon on the subject. I could not hesitate in meeting their desire, as they appeared very serious, and are exemplary members of the Church. They listened very attentively to the exhortation that followed, and I urged aii to new eiForts for the com- pletion of the church, and promised all I could do to obtain for them the more frequent ministration of the word and sacraments. The night was dark and the road bad, which induced me to accept a most comfortable lodging here at Mr. Allison's, who is a valuable acquisition to the place, to which he has removed from Cornw^allis. veral lurch ound pcr- )y Mr. with a on be- AMHERST. NOVA SCOTIA. Thursday, August 24. — We drove to Amherst, (eighteen miles,) crossing the boundary between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and found more than two hundred persons assembled. After the secoi.d lesson Mr. Townshend baptized two infants, and I then administered holy baptism to nine adults^ with whom Mr. Townshend had taken much pains. Their deportment was deeply solemn and aiJectingi 62 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S These, with twenty -three other persons, were con- firmed, and I was encouraged to indulge my own feelings by dwelling upon both services, and endea- vouring to impress those who liste led to me with a full sense of their importance, and oi the blessing to be derived from them. None oi the various scenes through which I have passed, in my summer's visi- tations, have produced a deeper impression upon myself, nor excited warmer interest for the welfare of those to whom it has been my privilege to minister. '»f ' WEST CHESTER. TRURO. AYLESFORD. Friday, August 25. — Mr. Townshend drove me seven miles, that I might see sixty acres of very valuable marsh land on the Westmoreland glebe, the value of which must be lost to the Church, because there are no means for defraying the expense of dyking it. I suggested several plans, but fear none of thera can succeed. Here Dr. Jarvis iind Mr. Black took their leave, after affectionate attention to me in this part of the diocese, and returned to Shedipc and Sackville. Soon after our return to Amherst, where Mr. Kilvington, now my son-in-law, met me, I set out for Truro, and he accompanied me. "We had a very pleasant drive of thirty miles to West Chester, on the Cumberland Mountains, where we lodged.

Sunday, August 27. — I had purposely so made my arrangements as to spend a Lord*s Day with the bereaved congregation at Truro, and read prayers, and preached for them both in the morning and afternoon ; for which they seemed the more thankful, as there is much religious and political excitement at this time in their neighbourhood. Monday, August 28. — Returned safely to Halifax, by a pleasant journey of sixty miles, and found my family well. Laus Deo! Tuesday, September o. — After a few days' rest, 1 left town again, and, on the 12th, married my youngest daughter in St. Mary's Church at Ayles- ford, the Church of my first care. ' i/J- V l*;^ =^-1-- .• ANNAPOLIS. — PERROT. Saturday, September 1 6. — I proceeded to Annapo-^ lis,(thirty-eight miles,) and on the morning of Sunday, the l7th of September, T preached to a large congre- gation (more than two hundred and fifty) at St.Lukc's church in that place. In the afternoon I went with the Rev. Edwin Gilpin, the respectable and excellent Missionary at Annapolis, to Perrot, a new settlement, seven miles from Annapolis, where, by the exer- tions of Mr. Gilpin, and the aid of the Society, a neat chapel has been finished. Many of our morn- 64 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S ing congregation accompanied us. More than two hundred persons were assembled, but nearly half of them were crowded round the dooi and windows, as there was not room for them within. The chapel of St. Mark and its burial-ground were consecrated, and the people appeared thankful and attentive to all I had to say to them. f ! t * H ALIF A X. — WINDSOR. Monday i September 18.- - 1 returned to Clermont ; and on Thursday, the 2 lit, I set out for Halifax (ninety miles), to hold an ordination on Sunday, the 24th ; when the Rev. Richard Avery, from Eng- land, and the Rev. Mr. Blackmore, from New- foundland, with Letters Dimissory, were admitted to the order of Priests ; and Mr. L. M. W. Hill, and Mr. Arthxxr Wellesley Millidge, graduates of King's College, ^ indsor, to the order of Deacons. Wednesday y October 17. — I again went to the country, but returned to town, that I might again see the Bishop of Jamaica, who had been some time in Halifax, and preached for me on Sunday, October 15th, and powerfully pleaded on behalf of the pro- posed See of New Brunswick. Friday, October 20. — I again left town for "Windsor (forty-five miles) ; and on Saturday, Oc- tober 21st, attended a very satisfactory meeting at King's College, when several scholarships were awarded to the best scholars, and other College affairs were duly attended to. VISITATION JOURNAL — 1843. 65 Sunday f October 22. — I preached in the morning to two hundred persons, in the parish cliurch at Windsor ; confirmed twenty-seven persons, and ad- c^ressed them ; and preached again in the same durch in the afternoon, on behalf of the Church Society, a committee of which the Rev. A. Gilpin is desirous to organize in his mission. Tn the evening I preached in the College Chapel, and addressed the students. Monday, October 23. — A violent storm confined me to the College. N pro- 1 for Oc- fceting were affairs CORNWALLIS. CLERMONT. Tuesday, October 24. — T left Windsor very early, and travelled nineteen miles, through bad roads, to the church at Cornwallis, where I found nearly one hundred and fifty persons assembled at eleven o'clock. I baptized six adults, preached, confirmed twenty- four persons, and addressed them all generally, and more particularly those who were solemnly admitted into the Christian fold, after due preparation for this holy admission, by the earnest attention of the Rev. J. Storrs, the Missionary. After the service Mr. Storrs drove me about a mile to an ancient burial-ground, which was consecrated. Wednesday, October 25. — Mr. Storrs accompanied me in visits to several aged and respectable members of his flock, and then drove me fifteen miles on the road towards Clermont, where I arrived in the evening, full of gratitude to God for His merciful 66 BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA S preservation of me in health and strengtli, during the exertion3 of a laborious summer. SUMMARY OF THE VISITATION. I HAVE thus brought this long, and, I fear, tedious detail to a close. If apology for its length be neces- sary, I would offer an assurance that I am not likely to trespass again to similar extent; for I cannot hope, in any future years, if future years should be allowed me, to atttempt as much as I have been led to attempt in the last. The summary is easily named. It has been my happy employment to consecrate twenty-two churches, and twenty burial-grounds ; to hold three ordinations, in which five Deacons and four Priests have been ordained; and forty -four confirmations, in which eleven hundred and ninety- seven persons were confirmed ; to deliver one hundred and seven sermons or addresses, at which nearly nine thousand hearers attended; and in effecting this, I have travelled more than three thousand miles, and more than one hundred in open boats. It is now my humble hope, as it has been the object of my constant prayer, that in these efforts there has been some blessing from the mercy of the Most High, as well knowing that without such blessing all the labour would be in vain. If God has been honoured, even in the least degree ; if the prosperity of His Church has been advanced, even in the most limited measure ; and if the salvation of even one immortal soul has VISITATION JOURNAL 1843. 67 been forwarded, I trust that I am prepared, with my inmost heart, to ascribe all the glory and the praise to His Holy name. In reviewing what has been brought before me, during the journeyings of the past summer, I regard as of much importance, the fact that I have been called upon to perform episcopal acts^or the first time, in no less than twenty-two places, separated from each other by hundreds of miles, in all of which new churches have been completed, or are in progress. This surely may be regarded as evidence of the expansion of the Church. In the next place, I have observed a growing estimation of the value of the ordinances of the Church, which has been manifested by the increased gratitude to the two great Church Societies in England for their instrumentality in f^onveying rich blessings to all parts of these Colonies, and by numerous and heart-stirring solicitations, in all places, for an increase, a large increase, of the ministry of the Word and Sacraments. Again, we may regard as an hopeful sign an increased and affectionate atten- tion to the ordinances of the Church, wherever those ordinances may be enjoyed, and a manifestly in- creasing sense among our people of their own reli- gious responsibilities, and of the necessity which is now laid upon themselves for much greater exertions than they have hitherto made, for the support of the blessed gospel, in its purest administration, among them. I regard as evidence of this comfortable fact, the spreading of our local Church Society throughout the diocese ; the enlarged contributions for building 68 BISHOP OK NOVA SCOTIA S churches and parsonages, and the progress, still too slow, though certainly advancing, in contributing to the support of the clergy. Finally, it may be regarded as happy encouragement, that I am bound to speak in terms -^f no measured praise of the Missionaries generally in this diocese; of their zeal in their Master's cause, their self-devotion, and ex- emplary piety, and their holy submission and pru- dence and contentment, often amid trial and privations, while the faithful labours and primi- tive piety of many of them are above all human praise. Surely we may entertain an humble hope, that the result of the Society's care and benevolence and prayers, as that result is manifested even in this small portion of the Society's wide field of labour, will supply convincing evidence that their efforts have not been in vain; and that, as they require, so, humanly speaking, they deserve, much more support and assistance than they have ever yet received from the whole united Church, and all it- members, individually; nor will such enlarged support and assistance be withheld, if the Society shall be regarded, in their true character, as the agents and representatives of that holy Church, for the evangelizing of the world ; for sustaining and extending a knowledge of the blessed gospel of the Divine Redeemer where it has been already received among the colonists of the empire, brethren of the same blood, and of the same immortal hope; and thence carrying it to the benighted \ / •^ \ % VISITATION JOURNAL. 1843. 69 nations around them, who are still in darkness, and in the shadow of death, only because the day-stai* has not yet been seen, as a prelude to the splendour of the Sun of Righteousness.
