REPORT. ^^ id Secre- id Co.'s, )pulation jnial and ost-offico TiiK past yoav has been to the Committee of this Mission one of special anxiety, and, at the same time, one of special interest and encouragement. They have had cause for anxiety, because exiierience has shown them that the apprehensions expressed in their last Report have been fully justified. Many of their friends and supporters have found it hard to understand why the Mission should be needed. The reunion of the Northern and Southern States has been accompanied by the abolition of slavery, and fugitive slaves, therefore, are a thing of the past. What can be the meaning of a Fuffitivo Slave Mission ] The funds have suftered in con- sequence. In the last Report the C'oiniuittee endeavoured to point out how mistaken the impression above alluded to is. They will only here repeat that the numbers, position, circiunstanccs, and prospects of the coloured i)opulation in British North America, for whose benefit this Mission was instituted, have not been materially atlected by the close of the war. They are still as numerous, as poor, as much a separate people, as before. If such an agency as that wliich this Mission endeavours to supply was ever needed, it is needed now ; niore so pei-haps, now that the efforts of former years, by God's blessing, have produced their effi^ct, and marks of progress encourage lis to further exertions. But if the year has been one of anxiety, it has also been one of special interest. The Committee have had oppoi-tunities of obtaining more accurate information than they before possessed as to the extent and nature of the Mission field, both from their interviews with the Rev. J. Hurst (who has been associated with the work from its earliest days) and from the minute rei)ort fiu-nished them by their agents in London, Canada West, who, by the direction of the Committee, visited, duiing a three months' tour in the summer, the principal towns and districts in the western part of Upper Canada, in which the largest number of coloured people are to be found. The result has been that the conviction has forced itself on the minds of those best acquainted with the Mission work that the present agency should be, if possible, increased, as there are places in which the coloured people are found in considerable numbers which are at present untouched by the operation of the Mission. The follov.ang sippeal, which has been issued by the Committee, will explain the objects which they desire to obtain : — A 2 4 MISSION TO THE colouhed "The Committee of this Migeion bavo found that there ia an impression in England that no further aid is required for the evangelization of tho coloured population in WcBtcrn Canada. This impression seems to have arifen from tho faet that Amcrioaa slavery is abolished, and the belief that, therefore, the Mission, which took its rise from tho circumstances and existence of tho Fugitive Slave Law, is no longer needed. Tho Committee have, therefore, made careful inquiry into tho numbers, the condition and prospects of the coloured race in Canada ; and both from special reports received from their agents, and from the personal interviews which they haee lately been able to have with their valued missionary, Kev. J. Hurst, now on u visit to this country, they aro convinced that the coloured population is likely to remain in the province. Now, as much as when the Mission was first founded, special elforts and a special agency aro needed ; while, owing to the progress already made, a more favourable opportunity for doing real good has never bofoi'e presented itself. " Two grants dre made from the Mission funds for work in the Diocese of Toronto, but the Diocese of iXuron forms the chief field of the Society's operations. The coloured people are scattered thickly over tho western parts of this Diocese, and aro settled in London, Chatham, Windsor, Dresden, Amherstburg, and other smaller towns in numbers varying from 100 to 1,400, and in these towns generally form about one-fourth or one- fifth of tho whole population. ^ "The desire of the Committee is to place, if possible, a good Scripture-reader under tho direction of tho resident clergyman in each of the large missionary centres, who might bo licensed to hold services in tho towns and the surrounding districts, and tako charge of Sunduy-RchoolB when the clergyman of the parish cannot be present. It is believed that this is the best, the cheapest, and indeed the only feasible way of gathering tho coloured people, and organizing them in regular Church congregations. " The Btafi" of the Mission in the Huron Diocese consists of " London— Two students, who act as catcchists. "Deesden— One clergyman and schoolmaster. " WiNcsoB— One clergyman. « The Committee believe that the work they desire to accomplish is already done in London efficiently by the students of Huron College, and will be done in Dresden by the continuance and, if possible, the augmentation of the grant made for a schoolmaster. They desire to increase the present number of labourers by placing Scripture-readers in Chatham, Windsor, and Amherstburg ; and afterwards, t -Id their funds permit, to extend the operations of the Mission in tho same manner in other places. « They believe also that much good would result from the employment of at least two colporteurs to visit the more remote settlements of the coloured people during tho summer months. " Such an increase as is above proposed to the stafi" of Mission agents would require tho annual addition of at least 4001. to the present funds, which aro already absorbed by tho existing grants. The total income of tho Mission would then be about 900/. " The Committee would, therefore, press upon the numerous friends of this deeply interesting Mission, the necessity not only for continued, but for increasing efibrts ind liberality, that their funds may justify the employment of a sufficient number of agents (o carry on the work which God has graciously thrown open to them." They are hapi)y to say that it has not been without result, one hidy having very warmly taken up tho cause, and having become resi)onsible for the sum necessary to procure Mr. Hurst for one year the assistance of which he has so felt the need in Windsor. The Committee suggest that by special POPULATION IN CANADA. O effort, much in a fdmilar way, by inJivuliials or Association,'!, tho san»p help riiight be given to Cliatluim uiul Amlioi*Mtburg, and the other places similarly situjvted. The loccipis cbning the past year have boon 559/. 14«. Od. ; the oxpcmli- tare, 542/. in. 2d. This is exclusive of 117' 9^. Gd., received for the Dresden and W iudsor Churches. The whole of the stations of the Society have been occupied during the last part of the year, and the expenditure has thei'cforo exceeded that of last year liy 32/. lOs. dd., while the inconui has been 59/. Os. lOd. less. The above figures are enough to show how urgently the Coiuniitti o need all th(; help they have hitherto received ; how, without it, far from (extending their operations, they will be obliged to diminish their grants, and probably to withdraw some of their labourers. The Committee proceed, as usual, to give aon)o details taken from the reports of their a^i^euts at their present stations of Dresden, Windsor Loudon, Toronto, and Barri I. i X Huron. •:n. Tlie Committee feel it to bo a can,,. sincere thankfulness that, through the liberality of friends in England, the sum needed fen- Mr. Hughes's long wi.shed-for church has been raised; and cheerfidly and thankfully ho has set about the work ; and, before long, the Committee tru,st to henr of its completion, and of the opening of the church. They have made a special grant of 50/. to meet the sums s])ecially contributed by their friends ; and they rejoice to know that the poor coloured people in Dresden are doing their utmoat to join in the M-^ork. Including their grant, above 250/. has been raised for this object. The following Interesting letter from Mr. Hughes (March 15, 18GG) will show his opinion on the present position of the coloured population : — IMPORTAKCE OF NATIVE AOUNCY. "It 19, indeetl, as you observe, rather reinavkable how the coloured agents of the Society have ono after auothor been removed ; but I should hesitate to regard this as showing it to be the design of Providence that the work of evangelizing and elevating the race is to be c« ried on exclusively by their white brethren. My own opinion is, that but little progress in this great work will be made without the employment of coloured agents. Indeed, I cannot conceive how the race can be greatly elevated unless some belonging to it art: fitted to become ministers, teachers, and to occupy other positions requiring intelligence and education. I am quite aware of the many and great difficulties that lie in the way of employing coloured agents, but I ihink it would be wrong to abandon the idea altogether. So far from this, the recent great events in the States, involving immense political and social changes on this continent, seem to me to point out that the time has now come when they should be sought out and specially trained and fitted for labouring among their own people. This is, I firmly believe at thi» particular e MISSION TO THK COLOURED juncture, tho groat duty of tlio Cliristian Cliurch with regcrd (o tho coloured rnco. To neglect it is to leave tlioro, as 1 foar will bo found to hare been tho case in Jamaica, entirely in the bunda of ignorant or designing men, whoso creed will idways bo more political than religious, and tho tendency of whoBO teaching will bo to foment rather than allay tho jealousies and prejudices thut exist between the two ruoes, and which it should bo remembered only come into malignant operation when tho fetters of slavery have been, by tho progress of events, broken off from the weaker race. While, therefore, I tliink that the utmost caution ahould bo exorcised in the election and employment of coloured a^entH, and also that uiajiy disappoir-tmontn must be expected v;itb regard to them, I llrraly believe that no permanent good can bo accomplished for the race except through their agency. .\BED OF THE MISSION. ** I am very sorry to find that some who onco helped in the work of this Mission are now withholding their aid. Surely they mufi bo doing so without serious reflection. To me it appears that now mo'-o than ever should the friendb of tho ill-used negro put forth their efforts in his behalf. Slavery, it is true, is fast dying out, but it leaves tho race degraded and despised— perhaps even more hated than before, and wi^h every barrier th'* a cruel and unchristian prejudice can tlirow in tho way of its advancement. Most assuredly, then, this is not the time for iJiitish Christians to withdraw from this work. The future prospects of tho race are anything but clieering.but that future is in tho bonds of llini whu doeth all things weW, and it is not wise in ua to speculate with regard to it. All tiiat concerns us is to ascertain what is our duty and to endeavour to do it. Hero is a weak, helpless, and sorely-oppressed people standing in urgent need of assistance. Oh, let ns not, like the Pharisee, pass by on tho other side ; but let us, as God has given us ability, aid and comfort them ; and though wo may not bo able to honl their wounds, let us not refuse to pour into them the oil and wine of Cliristiun sympathy and consolation. This I believe to be our duty. May God give us all grace to perform it." Mr. Hughes wrote us follows, June 20, ISG."). The stateiueut v)i' liis letter will serve as an answer to the question sometimes asked, wliy sj)ecial funds slioukl \w raised in England for the support of the Mission. While there is still so great a division between the two races, it seems plain that .. special agency is recpiired, and that local help cannot be looked for to any great extexit : — •'You will bo pleased to hear that God still continuee to bless my labours iu this Mission, and if more success does not rest upon my efforts, the cause must be sought in my weakness, sinfulness, and want of faith. My congregations keep up ; indeed, I think they have been somewhat bett?r during tho past quarter than usual. There have been occasionally a few strangers present, and as our small room affords scarcely sufficient accommodation for our regular congregation this has caused us to appear at times crowded. I huve administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper twice during the past quarter on Easter Sunday and again on Whit-Sunday. On the former occasion there were twenty- two communicants, and on tho latter nineteen. These were both seasons of more than ordinary spiritual refreshment j and it gives me great pleasure in recording that an English settler and his wife, who have recently come to li^p near the village, aad who frequently attend the service, came forwairl nn "Knofoi^ Rk.-./Io^t o»,^i ;^;-.,„,i „„ „* ii t. ,t~ m-ui- This it* the first time any white persons, except members of my own family, have done so.

I sincereW trust that grace Trili be given them to continue to live above tho wicked and foolish vrejudices of American society. It is painful to see how quickly old i'ountry people /all in with these prejudices. When they first come out of course they have no feelings of dislike towards the coloured race, but they quicKly acquire them, and some even carry them to a more disagreeable extont than native-bom Americans. There are a fuw old country families settled around Dresden wlio were brought up to the Church, and still profess to be attached to her principles, but only one or .^o individualj connected with them have over been present at our Borvices. Under any circumstances tho exliibition of dislike to our feilow-creatures merely on account of colour, which they cannot help, mist be highly oflTensive to Almighty God j but when this feeliuR is manifested within iuo pale of tho Saviour's fold it is lo my mind truly shocking and repugnant to the whole teaching and »«pirit of Christianity. • These things I com- mand jou,' are U.e words of our blessed Lord, 'that ye love one anoth.r ;' and St. John saith, ' He tlu.t lovcth not his brother abideth in death ; ' end again, ' If any man say, 1 love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar : for ho th' ■ .< h not his brother whom he hath seen, now can ho love God whom ho hath not scei. Tho fact )?, prejudice agamat colour is carried further in tho Church than anywhere else.

"I am sorry to say that I have not been able to resume the Sunday Evening Services on the elevonth Concession, Chatham, the closing of which I informed you in one of my recent reports. Tho room in which they were held has been permitted to fall into a com- plete wreck, and as there is nc other I had iio choice but to give them up. I have tried over and ever again to induce the people there to put up another log buildiug, promising some assistance myself, but hitherto without success. I much regret the closing of these services, and shall mak(^ another effort to revive them, though I feel that my present Sunday duties, consisting of the superintendence of, and teaching in, two Sundayschools, and two full services besides, make sufficient demands upon my strength." Tho following xctter, dated Jane 30, 1866, gives the latest iiccount of Mr. Hughes'H work, and contains much which is of special interest and importance a.s hearing on th'3 position of the Mission at the present time :— «« I thank you much for your kind letter recently received, and am greatly encouraged to Hnd by it that tho interest in the Mission to the coloured population of Canada Las been revived. I am quite sure that urgent necessity exists for missionary operations among tlicse people as ever. It is true that fugitives from slavery, in « state of almost absolute nakedness and want, and appealing to us for temporal aid and assistance, are not now constantly arriving amongst us ; but we have permanently settled here a large coloured population, and which if left unaided to contend with tht jtrong p-ejudices that are arrayed against it, must ever remain ignorant and degraded. In the providence of God the debasiag system of slavery has been destroyed, and so the way has been cleared for the real work of the Mission, y/Uoh is, I conceive, to elevate and instruct, ad, above all, to set before tliis illused people the saving truths of the Gosjiel, free from those wild extravagances which an almost heathen ignorance has caused to prevaU amongst so largo a portion of them. Iviy dear friend and brother, Mr. Hurst, informs me that mucli 8 MISSION TO THE COLOURED misapprohension with regard to the nature of this Mission has been entertained by many at uome, some thinking that its chief object was to afford temporal relief to distressed fugitives. I am sorry for this, and feel persuaded that when its real charRcter is properly understood no true friend of the negro race or earnest-minded Christian will withdraw his aid from it, NATIVE AGENOT. " I quite agree with Mrs. Einnaivd that it ia most desirable to employ coloured agents as much as possible. In my last report you will 5nd that I strongly expressed this opinion. After now an experience of some years in this work I am convinced that no lasting results can be obtained without doing so. Tlie overthrow of slavery has removed the great obstacle that stood in the way. Tlie people have now to be elevated, and this appears to me to be impossible unless from amongst themselves individuals are trained to fill the offices of teachers and instructors. I sincerely hope that means will be placed at the disposal of the Committee to carry out Mrs. Kinnaird's idea of coloured Scripture- readers and colporteurs ; and, indeed, I would not stop here, but when suitable candidates present themselves, I would rejoice to see them raised to the ministry. The more I reflect upon this matter the more I am convinced that now, in the altered condition of the race, the training and employment of coloured agents is the work which the friends of this Mission ought to have chiefly before their minds. There is a youth who has just left on schools for whom I have long earnestly desired that some such a career of usefulness could be opened to him. He not only possesses good natural abilities, but has given strong evidences of his being under the influence of Divine grace. He was confirmed two years ago by the Bishop of Huron, and since then has been a communicant. If this youtli could have two or three years' judicious training, I have every confidence that he would, under God, prove a great blessing to hin people. phoqeess of the work. •' I am happy to report that my work is going on steadily hero. My Sunday services are attended as well as usual. The limited accommodation which our room affords is always fully occupied. Through God's abundant blessing and the liberality of our friends we hope soon to have a comfortable place of worship. I am hurrying on tho preparations for commencing the building of our church as fast as possible. The means to defray the expense of painting, paving, warming, &c., have still to be provided. These will cost at least four hundred dollars ; but I have faith that God, who has raised up friends so far, will put it into the hearts of others to supply what is necessary to complete it. Tlie earnest desu-e of my heart has ever been, since my connexion with this Mission, to bo an instrument in God's hands in breaking down that unchristian prejudice which prevents white and coloured residents of the same locality, and professing the same form of faith, from worshipping together in the same sanctuary as the disciples of one common Lord. I have always felt, and still feel, notwithstanding the many plausible excuses for it that I have heard, that ^his prejudice would not stand the test of the Word of God. For what- ever variations there may be in the hues of ou. skins, or differences in our earthly con- dition, we are there tauglit that the true disciples of Christ constitute but one body, of which He is the Head. I do hope, therefore, that when our church is completed the few white church families in this neighbourhood will attend. Certainly they will then be deprived of all excuse, except the one which I am sure they dare not plead at the Judgment Day. " We have had an extremely wet and very unhealthy season. Pever and ague prevail to a greater extent than I ever remember, aud I have a few on my list who are laid by with more serious compUiuts, two of whom i do not think can ever recover. One of POPULATION IX CANADA. 9 these is a poor man who was foolish enough to enlist into the American army, and, while serving in the war, I am afraid, ruined his health. He was tempted, as many other coloured men were, by the large bounty offered ; but of this, as was the case in number- less other instances, he was defrauded. It is impossible for me to describe the wretched state in which this poor sick man and his family are living. Their shanty is the most miserable hovel imaginable, consisting only of one room of about twelve feet square, with a sort of shed behind. In this room, which is but just high enougli to stand upright in, live, how I cannot tell, the man, his wife, and five daughters. The sick man lies on one side on a dirty mattress, supported by rickctty chairs ; and as to the poor girls, some of whom are growing up into womanhood, they are either shaj. 'ess bundles of rags or almost in a state of nudity. I have from time to time assisted this family with gifts of clothing, but they belong to that shiftless class of which there are too many, and upon whom everything appears to be thrown away." THE MISSIONABl'S ENCOtJEAOEMlENTS. Dec. 20, 1865.—" In acknowledging God's many and undeserved mercies at the close of another quarter, I am thankful to be able to report that my congregations, both at Dresden and Dawn Mills, have been iinusually good during the past three months, partly owing, perhaps, to the very fine fall that we have had, which has enabled those living at a distance to be tolerably punctual in their attendance. Severe weather has, however, now set in, and, as a consequence, a falling-off in numbers must bo looked for. On Advent Sunday I administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at Dresden. Though several of my regular communicants were unavoidably absent, twenty-one assembled around the Lord's Table, and partook of the emblems of the Saviour's dying love. It was a season of great refreshing to my own soul, and I can truly say that, amidst the difficulties and dis- couragements that beset this Mission, the consistent Christian deportment of my little band of communicants is a source of the greatest consolation to me. They are indeed ray « hope, my joy, and crown of rejoicing.' Lfay the Lord give them grace to prove faithful unto death, and aLo grant that their number may be largely increased ! <i j^. T , whose serious illness I mentioned in my last letter, has since been taken to his rest. For some time before his removal it pleased God to give him a full assurance of acceptance. It became towards the last a positive pleasure and source of profit to my own soul to visit him. Though he was for many weeks before his death unable to lie ' down, either by night or day, yet his patience and even cheerfulness were most remark- able. As day by day he drew nearer to his end, his views of Gospel truth became clearer and his faith stronger. T had, so his friends informed me, always been a man of strict integrity and unimpeachable morality, and used to fancy, like too many others, that inasmuch as he performed his duty, as he supposed, he would have nothing to fear hereafter. Knowing this, the last time I saw him alive, perceiving that he was rapidly sinking, I said, * Mr. T , it is highly probable we may never meet again in this world ; tell me whether Jesus is precious to your soul.' * Oh, yes,' he replied. * But,' I continued, ' seeing that your past life has been moral and upright, do you at all trust to it as a ground of acceptance?' He fervently answered, • No, only in Christ.' This was on the Friday evening. He lingered till the following Sunday morning (Nov. 19), when, after requesting that family worship might be once more had in his presence, he con- versed cheerfully for a few minutes, told his family that he was going home, laid his head upon his wife's shoulder, and breathed his last. Thus has another member of my little flock been called away. His peaceful and happy end has afibrded me no small encourage- ment, for, much as I wish and strive to promote the temporal well-being and social advancement of the coloured people here, my heart's desire and prayer to God is, that I may be instrumental in leading them to Christ. This ia the real work of tiie Christian 10 MISSION TO THE COLOURED missionaiy, and this is tho paramount object tho Society has in view. And when wo have such direct evidences of the Divine blessing resting upon our labours as the one I have just recorded, Tve may well, notwithstanding the sneers of modern infidehty at Christian Missions, thank God and take courage. T was a well-informed man, of quiet and gentlemanly manners, and highly respected by all who knew him, both white and coloured. He had, by the practice of industry and economy, acquired a nice little property, so that ho leaves his widow and family in comfortable circumstances." I DRESDEN SCHOOLS. The Committee continue to make a grant for the support of these schools, which have a special importance from the fact that they are the only schools in the district for the coloured children. Mr. Highgate is now the master. Mr. Whipp(n-, tlie former master, has been removed by death. Mr. Hughes reports thus on them in his letter of June 2G : THE SCHOOLS. " The Dty-school was very full at the commencement of the quarter, but the attendance has not been so good' during the past few weeks, most of the elder children having been kept away to assist their parents in planting and hoeing Indian corn and potatoes. Our Mission School still continues to be the only one in this township open to coloured children. There appeared a short time ago some prospect of the Dawn Institute property, full particulars of which I gave in my early reports, being made available for the purpose of education, but tlie probability of such being tho case seems now more distant than ever. The property is in Chancery, and I fear the greater part if not the whole will be consumed in litigation. Several of our largest boys have recently left and gone, like many others before them, to seek employment in the States. Indeed, many who were once pupils in our schools, both here and in London, are now scattered far and wide. Some who stayed with us long enough carry with them an excellent education, leavened with a fair amount of scriptural knowledge, which in God's good time, we doubt not, will bear forth fruit to His praise and glory. Now and then I hear of some of these through their friends, and rejoice to find that some have good situations and are conducting themselves creditably. It is deeply to be regretted, and shows what formidable obstacles block the way of tho advancement of the free coloured people in America, f liat no matter how well educated or well conducted coloured boys may be, only tlio lowest kind of employments are open to them. They may become common labourers or porters, cooks pn steam- vessels, or waiters at hotels, but from all trades requiring skilled labour they are rigorously excluded. Several have left us, and there are two or three now in the school who are fit for, and worthy of, better occupations. In the South coloured boys have no difficulty in acquir-i ,>? trades • indeed, it was the interest of slaveowners to have good workmen amongst their .-^iives, but in the North and Canada every workshop is closed against coloured hands. "The attendance at both Sunday-schools, Dresden and Dawn Mills, has been good during the past quarter, averaging nearly thirty in each. At Dawn Mills I have a nice class of a dozen young people. Most of them attend very regularly, and the interest tley evince in the subjects of the lessons is very encouraging. It is my practice with this class — J, ij ^. ^ ^„^y^., .,, ,,:.riiJviiTQ 4uc=LiuiJi=, luvuiviug a iituo ciiougnt and Bible-reading, the answers to which they bring on the following Sunday. Some take con- POPULATION IN CANADA. 11 siderable pains during the week to search out the answers. Oh, may God grant that the truth may take deep hold upon all their hearts ! I am very hopeful of some of them." On December 20th lie wrote thus, mentioning Mr. Whipper's death :— « I have another death to record, for which you wiU be somewhat unprepared. Mr. Whipper, who only three months ago resigned his position as teacher of our school, has been removed by the hand of death. It was his expressed iatention to have gone down south, to labour among the freedmen, but God in His wisdom has ordered it othervdse. His labours for the good of his people were closed in our Mission School. Feeling himself unwell at the time, he purposed starting south ; the person with whom he had arranged to go had to proceed without him. His health, instead of improving, continued to decline, and it soon became evident that his constitution, which was never strong, was breaking up ; but I had no idea that his end was so near. On Monday last, how- ever, I perceived that a change had come over him, and on Thursday last he expired, expressing his hope and trust in Jesus. It afforded me a melancholy satisfaction in being permitted to minister spiritual consolation to poor Mr. Whipper in his last illness ; and his rather sudden and unexpected removal, just at the time when he contemplateu entering upon another and more extended sphere of labour, is a loud call to us who are left behind to improve to the utmost our present opportunities of doing good. «' i enclose Mr. Highgate's Report, by which you will perceive that ihe School con- tinues to be in a prosperous condition. Mr. Highgate is a painstaking teacher, and will prove, I think, a valuable assistant in the work of the Mission. The Sunday, though not near so numerously attended as the Day-school, is doing well. The average attendance for the past quarter lias been twenty-five. Most of the coloured people profess, as you are aware, to be either Methodists or Baptists, and are unfortunately great partizans in the matter of religion. The consequence is, that many who are anxious for their children to attend the week-day school refuse to permit them to come on the Sunday. Some time ago, thinking it might do good, and bo the means of bringing more chUdren under religious instruction on the Lord's-day, I consented to try a union school, and, for a little time, it worked well ; but their petty denominational jealousies soon brought the effort to an end, and I resumed my own school, which, though small with regard to numbers, is in a sound and healthy condition. " Earnestly soliciting a continuance of the prayers of the friends of the Mission at home on behalf of myself and the poor people among whom my duty is to labour, I remain, &c., &c." Mr. Hughes writes again, June 30, 18GG : — " Mr. Highgate continues to give me great satisfaction in the school. Most of the elder children are, as is usual at this time of the year, kept from school to assist in the fields, but the attendance is above the usual summer average. Our Sunday-school, too, continues in a flourishing state, having an average attendance of thirty. I feel greatly in need of a few nice prize-books fc7 both schools, and should be very, very thankful for a Uberal selection of the Church of England Sunday-school Association pubhcations." The Committee are sure that Mr. Hughes will liave the sympathy and prayers of their friends in his continued persevering efforts ou behalf of the poor coloured people among whom, in the spirit of a true missionary, he has so long laboured. 12 MISSION TO THE COLOURED WINDSOR. Owing to Mr. Hurst's visit to this country, tlie Committee have not received his usual reports, with tlie exception of the one given below. They have had, however, many opportunities of personally hearing from him the details of his work, and of forming an opinion of its character and its importance; ai.d they are sure that those of their friends in various parts of the country who have had the pleasure of meeting him, will, with them, now that he has returned safely, feel a gi-eater interest than ever in his missionary labours. Mr. Hurst wrote thus on June 30, 18G5 : " I feel thankful that in the providence of God I am spared to make another Quarterly Report of my labours in the parish of Sandwich East, and chiefly in Windsor. " During the past three months my heart and the hearts of many in my parish have been greatly rejoiced by the close of the dreadful war in the United States, and a pro- spect of the total abolition of that inhuman system which, under God, was the cause of my coming to this country. « Daring the past ten years I have been accustomed to meet the coloured people in their cottas^s, and to know their ardent longings and earnest i myers for the deUverance of their children and brethren from the horrors of slavery. On such occasions it has been clear to me that there existed a deep inwrought conviction on the negro mind that the day of deliverance would not tarry, but I question if either they or I expected it so soon. " It has been the general opinion that as soon as the South was effectually subdued, slavery partially or wholly abolished, and of course the ' Fugitive Slave Law ' for ever set aside, that the coloured people would soon leave Canada and settle in the States. But at present, there is no prospect of anything of the kind, for, beyond the departure of a few turbulent spirits and low characters brought amongst us by the war, there is no visible change. The same faces are present at our meetings and on the streets ; the same children are in the schools ; and I receive the same friendly greeting everywhere. They still come to the church in small numbers, and more would come if we had room. I therefore preach to them in a separate room on Sunday afternoons, when my country duties do not call me away. "Nothing can exceed the earnestness with which they listen, and join in the devotional exercises. A week ago I preached to about a hundred, many of whom are well acquainted with spiritual things, and are patterns both of consistency of life and diligence in business to those around. Ii I had only time, it would be an easy matter to gather three good congregations every Sunday. It is in the fact that all the spiritual privileges are required on Sunday that my difficulties lie. I have repeatedly Urged upon them to attend week-evening meetings, which have been opened on purpose for their accom;^odation, but for the most part they are servants or labourers, and are either engaged or fatigued, and cannot come out. Under the circumstances, therefore, I do what I can, and endeavour to occupy the Held which lies open before me. AN AGED PILCniM TAKEK. " I have to record one interesting occurrence in my parish since last quarter—the death of a pious woman known to Mrs. Hurst and myself ever since we came to the place. She was more than * a widow of fourscore and four years,' for she was one hundred and seven JVC. • -^-sa.

She md seven reli, and, ^asionally supplied her with clothing in the winter season. At this time she possessed a scanty stock of furniture, a few little things of value to herself alone, as well as a Bible and her manumission papers given to her eighty-four years ago. But her shanty took fire, and she lost everything, even her Bible and her papers, about which she grieved to her dying day. " A few weeks ago, hearing that she was unwell, I went to see her, and found her feeble in body, b\jt still resting on the only sure foundation. Her faiih was strong, her heart was light, and doubt would have been to her absurdity. Never did she join more earnestly in my prayers for her. A fow days after this visit the house adjoining hers took fire and was burned to the ground. The flames reached her shanty, and it became necesb^ry to remove her, perhaps too suddenly, for, being very weak, she was unable to bear the shock, and died in a few hours. VALUE or aiPTS OF CliOTHING. *' We have now no arrivals of fugitive slaves as formerly, but we have some arrivals of destitute negro families, and frequent demand for assistance in clothing. Thero is great destitution in this respect in some places. " I could take a visitor through places in Windsor where almost nudity is the rule, and a well-fitting garment the exception. Indeed, on Sunday last I saw a woman carrying a child with nothing but a dirty rag tied around its otherwise naked body. There are some places here into which I rarely go but I feel that a lady visitor is required, and have to request Mrs. Hurst or others to do the work. Many hearts bless God for clothing sent from England. A poor man who had been sick all the winter called and obtained two warm shirts, and was so grateful that he returned in a few weeks with a dozen newly-laid eggs, which he had brought many miles as part payment, I suppose, for what he had received. I gave him the market price for his eggs, and sent him away. *' I cannot close this Report without repeating the substance of what I have many times said, that it would be an easy matter in Windsor to carry out the Society's good wishes for the coloured people to a great extent. We have the people, and will have. There are hearts prepared to receive us. We have a cry for help, and we only want a permanent lay-assistant to aid me in carrying on a regular course of services and Sabbath- school, in ■which a work may be done not inferior to anything which has been done in the Coloured Mission." The following brief account of the early history of the Mission, from the repoi*t of Mr. Hurst's speech at the Annxial Meeting of the Colonial and Continental Church Society, will be interesting to its old friends, reminding them of former days, and will convey, perhaps, new information to many : — ** The Mission was opened in the year ''854, in London, Canada West, with a staff of five to commence with. I was there at the very beginning, and there has scarcely been any agency employed that I have not had something to do with, or of which I could not give you a description. LONDON. " In the month of December of that year we commenced a school in London ; and I cannot tell you how much we are indebted to the Bishop of Huron for laying the whole field open before us. I well remember the words which he used to me one day when I met him. I said, ' We are endeavouring, I hope, to do good ; I believe we have uo other desire than to do good, and to be the means of saving souls in your parish.' He replied, * I do assure you that you have my full permission to go anywhere and to do any- thing that you think you can do in my parish ; for I know your intention is only to teach the Gospel as it is revealed in the New Testament to the poor creatures among 11 MISSION TO THE COLOURED whites.

Mr. Hughes's people have become so interested in tho work, that they are now trying to help themselves. Thoy have already done something towards building a now church, and perhaps some kind friends hero have done something towards it also, for they have been helped by persons in England. In a very short time, I believe, there will be a respectable ehurcli among tho houses and scattered little huts of Dresden. When I tliink of this work I cannot help saying, ' What liath God wrought ? ' and at tho same time, I would say, * Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give glory.' Wo have at present six agents labouring in this field, and they are altogether inadequate to tho work. It would not be right for mo to say tliat I feel impatient about it, but I feel very strongly about it. I feel a little disappointed that wo havo not more funds to send men to tho work, so that it may increase instead of abating in vigour. AMnEESTBTTRG. " In tho year 1858 I was sent by the Bishop of Huron to u place called Amherst- burg, on tho Detroit Eiver. Tliere I found that the prejudice of tho white man against the black caused him, not exactly to hate him, but to pass hira by, and do nothing for him. I told the white people that as it would bo impossible for tiiem to send tho coloured people out of tho place, even if they desired it, they had better join hands with me in trying to elevate them. They did help me — I say it to their credit— to a greater extent than I had ever expected they would. The town authorities lent me the Town Hall for a Sunday-school, and the white people helped me as teachers. I had a Wednesday evening Bible-class for the teachers, to prepare their minds for the following Sunday; and onco a month we had an examination of the school. That Mission became a most flourishing one. I asked the Eector's permission to use his pai'ish church for a service for tho coloured people. He did so most clieerfully ; but after using the church six weeks I found that the whites filled the places intended for the negroes, and hence it was necessary to obtain a room in another part. WINDSOE. " Tho Mission-field which I now occupy is Windsor, in the extreme west of tho Upper Province. In that town there are 800 negroes in a population of 4,000 ; and I must confess my utter inability to accomplish the work tliere. I havo two congregations in the town, and one about eight miles from it, and can assure you my hands are too full. If I could split myself into three persons, and always bo present with each congregation, I might do very well. What I especially need is tho means of employing a catcchist to aid me in my work. We could have a Sunday-school therewith from 150 to 200 children, and a Church of England congregation of at least 200 persons, in a very short time, were it not that a little difficulty of 40Z. a-year stands in the way. I am very impatient about this. I could almost wish that I could live en nothing myself, and give tho -iOl. ; but pounds, shillings, and pence are wanted in the colonies as well as here. One word more. 1 cannot tell you how many negroes there are in Canada, nor would it perhaps convey a very correct impression if I could ; but I can tell you this, that in the western part of Upper Canada tho negroes are settled among tho whites, in the proportion of from a third to a fifth or a sixth of the wholo population. In Amherstburg, with a population of about 1,400, there are about 450 negroes ; in Windsor, with u population of 4,000, there are about 800 negroes ; in Chatliam, with a population of 6,000, there are 1,400 negroes. Now, my dear friends, these are our fellow-creatures ; they are our fellow-subjects. To their credit be it said, some of them try to preach tho Gospel IG MISSION TO THE COLOUllED o.tcchi,l. rather lh.„ cLjln nnH L ,w ""v " ''°"''°'' """"*• •"'■«»' work ™,M bX° °rM bt iro„rfrT '°V~.

In acknowledgment of the many mercies which are continually bestowed upon us, wo knelt down and returned thanks to Almighty God, the Giver of all good things, but, above all, for Ilia incstimublo love in the redemption of tho world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. "Mr. a . This man is very peculiar in his manner of speaking, yet I think ho is a very good man, at least I know none of them so sanguine in the cause ot Christ. Tho readiness with which ho repeats passages of Scripture, and tho appropriateness with' which ho applies them, although ho cannot read one word, unite to show that ho is perfoetly acquainted with tho nature of the subject about which ho speaks. lie says tliat tho attacks of Satan upon him are many and various, but ho knows that the Captain of liia salvation is with him anil ho will fear no evil, for said Jesus, ' Fear not little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you tho kingdom.' After speaking for some time I joined in prayer with him and then exchanged tracts. IGNOBANCE. "Mr. S I found quite glad to seo me. After being in but a very short time I gathered the little ones around me, and had quite a deUghtful conversation about the lovo that Jesus has for little children, and the success and happiness of those, all through the varied scenes of life, who early serve the Good Shepherd. ' It is painful indeed to find how ignorant quite grown up boys and girls are of the truths of religion. I think I might almost say not more than two out of every ten who have reached sixteen years of age could repeat one of the Commandments. They know comparatively nothing of tho history of our Lord, to say nothing of the general history of ancient times as presented to us in tiie Bible. They know that a Saviour came into tho world to save sinners, and that Ho died for them, but how by that they are going to be saved, or by what means they are going to lay hold on Christ as a Saviour, they have but a vague idea, and it is exceedingly hard to teach them, for there is not in their minds tlie foundation of impres- sions made by early religious training to work upon. 1 am glad to say it is not so with many of tho older people, some of whom know and pvactiee, and others know though they do not practice. TEIAL. «' Mrs. V . Since I visited hero before Mr. V has left. Ho went to tho States and joined tho army. Shortly after hia arrival there his wife heard from him, but some length of time has now passed away since then, yet there is no more word from liim. Mrs. V feels lonesome and sad, she fears lie has shared the fate of hundreds of his countrymen, cither killed in battle or swept off by pestilence. I endeavoured to soothe lier as much as possible by my conversation, reminding her that though she might liavo to realize what now she ouly apprehended, there is a Father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow. I read with her a portion of Scripture and engaged in prayer. UOPE IN CUEIST. «« Mr. C . I found this man in a very poor state of health. He has been suffering very severely from a heavy cold for the last three or four months, and I do not think ho will entirely recover. He was greatly pleased to see me, and desired that I would read and pray with him, which I was very willing to do. Since that I have frequently called in to see him, and found that he wis not much better. His confidence in Jesus as his Saviour is strong. He appears to have cast all his care upon Him who careth for him. Many of the coloured people have been caiied hence during the past winter. Some of them have died joyful through hope, but some of them have only ended a career of wickedness upon earth. However, I am happy to say there are less of the latter sort than of the former. B 18 MISSION TO THE COLOURED " May 7.— At half-pnst sit, p.m., wo hold our usual meeting for the coloured pooplo. "We found the house well flUcd and the usual interest in our scrvico exhibited. They appear to become .norc fond of our Liturgy, although not many of tliem ean respond m the service. Wo have excellent congregacional singing ; they appear to go into it with heart and soul. a Mr. C When first I visited hero I was rather struck with the forwardness and confidence with which they conversed on religious topics, and oven that the most critical of all Bubjeets, and in which, if there is hypocrisy in the character, it is most hkely to appear, vi/.., individual experience of the operations of the Holy Spirit in the heart, they discussed without hesitation. But beside these things there is another and a more certam test of the position of a soul with respect to God, and that is the fruit it boars. As faith without fruits is dead, so I think it must be in this irstanco. I can find no evidence of the vital change, but, on the other hand, so far as words express a supreme reverence for sacred things, which they fail to make good in their daily 'walk and conversation, thereby displaying hypocrisy and dcccitfulness. Nor is this alone the only instance ^ which we have been deceived ; but since we have become better acquainted tne mask is withdrawn, and wo see many of them in their real eharocter. Here, as elsewhere, I endeavoured to direct our conversation in that channel most likely to be histructi/e with regard to the defects I notice. •c Mr. H . Each time of visiting hero I spend a very pleasant time. I believe both Mr. and Mrs. H , to bo striving earnestly to walk in the way of the godly. I read to them a chapter from the New Testament, and endeavour to explain it as simply as possible and impress it on their minds. After prayer I supplied them with tracts, which, though they are unable to read themselves, they get some acquaintances to read. SPiniTTTAL BESTITUTIOK. (c noga D . It being rather close and warm in tho College during the evening, I took my book with me, and sat under the shade of a tree. I was only there a short time when I observed a black woman at a short distance on tho bank of the river. T returned to the College, and having found my companion, wc went to tho place where she was sitting, taking some tracts with us. Wlicn wo approached wo found her to be about twenty years of age. She had no boots on her feet, and, by way of excuse, said that her feet had been frozen during the winter. We inquired if she had attended any elmreh, but she replied not, and aid that she had been about a year and a-half out of slavery, and never was aUowed to attend any while she had been there. We then asked her if she had ever heard of the love of Jesus to perishing sinners, and also if she did not know that she was a sinner, but she appeared or rather professed to know nothing about it. Wo continued to talk kindly to her for about half-an-hour, and then gave her some tracts, which she promised to get somebody to read. The interview was, to all appearance, accidental, yet I hope that good may be the result. « Z. W. It seems to me such a pity to see fine smart-looking children growing up unheeded and uncared for. ' Snch is the case with this family ; four or five clever children who, if taught to r^ nd ii habits of industry were instilled into them, might be useful members of sc when they are grown up ; but as they are, they aro not instructed, neither have the> 3 advantage of a good example. The family seems quite lost to any sense of duty in .agious matters. This is only one of many deplorable instances. There being so many families of coloured people in the city and around it, and so scattered, the extremes being about six miles apart, and our time of course very limited, we cannot visit them so often or stay as long with them as we might wish in J i.^ 4.~«-.1, fli<>m +Vi/->oa fViivKTa Tni-iaf Tippf>aani«i».

I found both him and his wife at home busily engaged in shelling corn, which they hesitated not to lay aside to converse with mo on the great subject of the soul's welfare and to join in prayer.

Not long ago they lost their only child, and on account of the illness of Mr. C they were brought so low as not to bo able to provide thcmselvos with iv change of dress so ns to go to church on Sunday, and this we hear from many. But wo feel thankful that now we can in a mensnro relieve such distress, especially in 'the case of children, by tho kindness of Mrs. irdlmuth, who has furni''icd us with quite a quan- tity of clothes. Before leaving I had reading and prayer with them and gave them *racts. INDirPEKKXCE. «' Z. W . Another family, who are apparently living without God in tho world, nnd possessing a strange state of mind, for they have as little ambition to lay up treasure on earth, as tl, y have to lay up for themselves never-fading troasures in heaven. Under tho influence of a mjrbid sensibility nnd o constitutional indolence they are indifTcrent alike to heaven and earth. In such a case what can the missionary do ? Nothing, but with all prayer, to wield the sword of tho Spirit faitlifuUy, and Lave tho result with Ilini who alone givcth tho increase. I read to them an appropriate portion of Scripture, and sincerely exhorted them to avail themselves of the opportunity of coming to Christ whilo the day of salvation still lingered, for tho night coraeth when no man can work, and concluded my visit by kneeling with them at the throne of grace and pleading for God's quickening Spirit to bo poured out on tho household, and then exchanged tracts. "Mrs. W . My visivs here are generally pleasant. I had scarcely been in the house a minute, when all who were in it were in the room with me, even old Mrs. S , who is moro than 100 years of age, and so infirm of body that sho can scarcely move round ; she is now exceedingly childish and continually talks'of going home, and it will indeed bo a happy day for her when her spirit takes flight from this weary world to the bosom of her SavioMr. A little more than eighteen months ago, when I llrst knew her, she was quite capable of holding a lengtliy conversation, but she has much changed since then, sh ij too feeble now, and her mind seems continually wandering. Her daughter, Mrs. W watches over her with great care, fulfilling the command « honour °thy father and thy mother,' and expecting through tho merits of Jesus to reap tho promised reward. I cannot help admiring this home, they seem so kind and good to one another, wliile they all depend upon Mrs. W 'a son, a youth I should eay of about nineteen, for their support. After sometime passing by in conversation, I "ead a portion of Scripture and then knelt in prayer to our Father in heaven. IMPEOTEMENT. « Mrs. B . She is left quite alone with her family, her husband having gone to tho States during the war had not yet returned, so that by economising tho bounty which ho sent to her, and adding to it what little she could earn, she has as yet comfortably kept herself and children.

Wo read a portion of Scripture, and then joined in prayer, after wliicii wo exchanged tracts. Mrs. II. is very for'd of reading, and seemed much'to enjoy the tracts, BO that we left her a double share. "J. M . This family belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, and tlie priests, having become aware of our Mission, have forbidden their people to reoeivo tracts from us 5 yet I am glad to aay *.hat, though they at first ueclincd to tako them, they have at length yielded, and promised to read them. Mr. M. having taken them, consoled him- self with the very just reflection that it is right to prove nil things and hold fast to that which is good. We read a chapter from the New Testumenf, spoke to them of the neces- sity of trusting to Ciirist a' >uo for our salvation, after which we engaged in prayer. '« Our labours among the coloured people of London, during the present quarter, have been confined chiefly to visiting. As a general rule, the coloured people have always been most willing to receive us, and to join with us in reading and prayer; and we trust in Christ Jesus our Lord that our labours among them huvo not beer, in vain, but, on the contrary, productive of good, for we feel assured that God's Word will not return to Him void, but will accomplish that which He pleases, and prosper in the thing to which Ho sends it." During th three niontlm' vacation of the College, the stiulents, who act as the Catechists of the Mission, at the reqncist of the Ctonnnittec undei-took a tour among the coloured pcoi)le in the towns of the western part of the province. They furnished a report on their return of the number of con- verts of the coloured people in Chatham, where they renuiined some weeks.

The present income of the Mission is absorbed by the existing grants. They ask for more help, that its operations may be extended, and, by God's blessing, be made more efficient. II.

" In laying before the Society a report for the past q irtor, although T cannot say much lins been accoaipliMied among our coloured brethren in the Mission, yet I feel assured that the relation of one or two eiroumstancen which have come under my notice will give pleasure to their friends at homo as thny hnvo done to myself. In visiting among Ihem u short time since I cal'cd to see a poor old man who hns been suffering severely from asthma for some time, and to whom, by the adiuinistration of medicines, I have on several occasions afforded relief. On this duy ho spoke with difllculty, on account of ii distressing cough. Ho inquired whether I thought it probable ho would suffer long in this way ? On my replying tliat I was unable to say how long ; that ho might bo relieved and live several years j but that his great caro should b.) to live always prepared, he said, • I place my trust on Jesus only, llo died for me, lie loves me, therefore I don't fear; I am quite willing to obey the suuniuus whenever it shnll come to call me to lewvo the world.' He seemed quite happy, and expressed groat tlmnkfuiness when I roul and prayed with him. I sent him some modiciues iu a da_, or two, which the Lord boing pleased to bless, the poor old man is now again much better. Not many days afvor this I was called to visit two young men, neither of them over twenty-live, both sufTcring acutely, but from different diseases. They bore tlu,ir sufferings with the greatest patience, and expressed their readiness to leave the world; the voungcr one (unmarried) just before he died, sang several verses of hymns ; the oth .larried, with one child) spoke of death with much pleasure to mo often, and on my adiuinistering tho Lord's Supper to him tho evening before his dcntli, ho expressed himself as most thankful for the privilege, and at the same time declared his realization of that lovo which induced the Saviour to suffer for sinners. On my saying to him 'Aro you ready to meet that Saviour? ' 'Only too glad to do so,' was his reply; and when a friend of his observed how rapid vas the progress of that disease (consumption) whicii was taking him away, he said, 'Nothing can be too rapid that takes mo to Jesus.' 1 sometimes took him up little delicacies, as lie could take only a small quantity of food, others in his ne=:'.bourhood did the same. Ho used frequently to say, 'I can make no return for your kindness, God will.' As fur as he could ho gave advice to thoso who visited him, saying how happy religion had made him sinco he '-ad come under its influence. "These cases, with many others of similar character, afford ample evidence how greatly thoso are mistaken who say that the coloured race know nothing of religion ; my own experience has proved otherwise. I have attended many death beds in v..e \ye8t Indies and can bear testimony that many a poor African, as well as thoso who were born in tho Islands, died rejoicing in tho Saviour, able to say with good 'd Simeon, ' Mine eyes have seen thy salvation.' " I feel thankful that I am ablo to report that success attends my efforts in other parts of my mission ; attendance on tho Sabbath is good ; Sunday-schools on tho whole well attended. I tliauk God and take courage; believing that notwithstanding the many difficulties we have to encounter in a new country, the work of the Lord will prosper. I have travelled over 1,200 miles this quarter, paid over 280 visits, and as unial distributed tracts, and also little books tt) children, which I find induces them to read. I have also two Bible-classes, and in addition to my three Sabbath services, I attend and teach in a Sunday-school for an hour and a-half. I leave my humble efforts in the Lord's liands j may His blessing accompany them, and those of all who aro endeavouring to win souls to Christ." ^rom the Rev. D. F. Morgan's Reiwi-t in December :— "The unfortunate events that have taken place in the Southern Slates and also in Jamaica tend very much to increase that feeling of distrust which exists between the white and the coloured races ; and it is to be deplored the former look down on the latter n MISSION TO THE COLOUEED with feelings of almost loathing in too mnij cases. I had much difficulty to persuade a family the other day to employ a coloured lad. They were quite amazed when I told them I had had many years' experience of the negro character, and could testify to their honesty and faithfulness and also religious principle, though improvident." 2. TORONTO. In the city of Toronto Mr. Hosken has continiied to labour among the colonred people, ui)wards of 1,000 in number, who reside there. He has met with much to interest and encourage him in his Avork. The following extracts are given from Mr. Hosken's Report of September last :— " I have been enabled to pay 130 visits to coloured people, 110 to whites ; 11 lectures have been deliver d at the hospital on Sundays ; 13 general visits to ditto ; 6 visits to gaol ; 8 visits to the house of industry ; 9 visits to lying-in hospital ; class for instruc- tion in reading has been met but a few times ; tracts distributed, iOO ; families of coloured children sent to Sunday-school, 2. One adult, who had fallen into a state of carelessness, has been quickened, reported to pastoi-, and restored to communion. "In prosecuting my important work I have met with a great variety of character; the daring sceptic and blaspliemer ; the confirmed inebriate and licentious ; the confirmed impenitent and the trembling penitent, the backslider in heart, and others whose minds seem but rarely to have admitted a Gospel ray, and consequently are asleep in their sins. Many of the above I find among our fugitives. "To many of our coloured families I trust that my visits have been useful during the quarter. I will instance a few. A SOTTL KEPT BY GOD. " Mrs. W . This woman has been a resident of Canada for many years past. On the rolls of the Wesleyan Methodist Oiurch licr name at one time stood j violent and un- remitting bitter dissensions amongst the other members of that Church rendered her withdrawal necessary, she being of a strictly peaceful turn of mind. By the clergy of the Church she appears to have been overlooked, and hence remained without the fold of the visible Church; but, striking t-> record, she appears to ha\j been preserved in a very gracious manner from falling away from God though so circumstanced. During the past quarter the rougli hand of allhction arrested her. Learning this I deemed it my duty to visit her more frequently ; those visits were desired earnestly by her. Her confidence in God was remarkably strongs licr submission to Him appeared to be complete. Whilst engaged in devotion in several instances the joyous smile, the silent tear, the earnest, but half restrained ' Praise the Lord for his loving kindness to mo' showed un- mistakably liow Divine grace can support its possessor in the furnace of affliction. It was never an hardship to visit Mrs. W. ; the chamber where she suffered might be aptly termed, ' The gate of heaven.' Contrary to all expectations «he is partially raised and adorns the profession she makes by consistent, earnest, devotedness to God. I am not aware that any other religious visits were paid her during her sickness. " Mrs. L . This woman was convinced of her need of Ciirist and repeatedly wept while I was attencling her, but I did not conclude tliat she was made a partaker of renew- ing grace. God (doubtless in love) afflicted her with temporary convulsions. These were made the means of increasing her earnestness for salvation. It is now feared that her disease is settled consumption. I cannot yet conclude that she is scripturally born of the Spirit, but I hope it may bo truly said, ' Thou art not far from the kingdom.' No other rehgious visits are ever paid this woman so far as I know. "Mr. S- Ajf INQX;iEEH.

Though successful in his earnest en- deavours after temporal good he had not been equally so in reference to his spiritual con- cerns : but God in His providence has called him. He was returning to his home from the western extremity of our city when he became suddenly powerless in his arms uad hands, riding at the time in his own conveyance he attempted to step out of it in order to walk, hoping thus to recover himself ; in attempting to do so he fell to the ground, and was soon discovered in that posture, and found to be incapable of rising ; he was raised and assisted in reaching his home. Learning of his condition I was soon with him. I found him extremely reserved, but quite willing to listen to my instructions. I have regularly visited him every week since the occurrence. My latest visits have been most satisfactory. I am quite assured that he feels deeply his need of the Saviour and is feebly seeking Him. The wife and daughter of Mr. S are exceedingly anxious in his case, and pray for him ardently. I deem his case to be a dangerous one j my duty to be to cry, * Escape for thy life.' " In reference to our coloured people I may be permitted to observe, that although the principal part of that large influx (occasioned by frequent drafts for national and military purposes) have returned to tlie States, now that the war is happily terminated; yet the number of the poor and ignorant has increased upon our hands, many being financially incapable of returning to their homes which they so lately deserted." *'Dec., 1865.— I cannot report numerous satisfactory cases of conversion among our coloured people ; a fact I deeply regret, but I am happy to add in many instances my visits have been apparently useful. " My cottage lectures are held in a part of the city where a number of our poor coloured people reside. They have always been interesting. At times our place of worship has been filled to its utmost capacity, more frequently, however, the room has comfortably accommodated all attendants. This phce was chosen on account of the woman of the house being an invalid, and utterly incapable of attending public worship, as she has been for years past. Her suflerings at times are intense ; beside confinement to the house, she is obliged to use crutches in moving from the chair to table or bed. She is a fine example of fervent, uncomplaining piety, that piety which triumphs in the flame. " Another case I will record is of a Mr. . I paid this man and family several visits ere I learnt their spiritual condition. I was sorry to discover that the family altar had been thrown down : that in heart and life he was a backslider. I urged him by manifold considerations to return to the service of God. After much entreaty his wife expressed a willingness to read the Scriptures morning and evening in the family if he would then call upon God. To this Mr. T. consented. I have pleasure in amiouncing that at my last visit his wife informed me the engagement had been kept. "In carrying out the visitation from house to house I am constantly finding cases corre- sponding with the above : cases even of parents proft ig to hold a connexion with the Church of Christ and yet never holding family worship, tlieir religion consisting in simply going to a place of public worship. A few weeks since I found in one dwellmg, containing two families, ten unbaptised children, and, strange to record, the parents were avowed believers in our Church doctrines. I have visited those families thrice in refer- ence to this neglected privilege. On Saturday last the head of one of those families promised distinctly he would bring his children for baptism. " Since my last report the Colour?5d Baptist Chapel in Terrauleystreet has been really closed by the mortgagee. The pastor left some time since. The congregation is scattered. I am anxiously looking after those poor sheep, and I trust they will all be folded elsewhere. " I am frequently hivited to visit the poor neglected and afilicted ones at their homes. With this I always comply ; and occasionally I meet with ♦Israelitea igdeedj' who thank- fully and heartily accept my services." 24 MISSION TO THE COLOURED ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS, DONATIONS, ETC., WHICH APPEAR IN THE SUBSEQUENT "^IST, OU IN THE REPORTS OP PRECEDING YEARS.
