Uillespit Miiirall & Cii , of Moiilrcal, -llie Uuii. Juliii N'eilaon, aud Mr. Clapbain, M. P., of Quebec; allot Lower Canada.) Upon the Methodist Society has UppT Canada, from its first settlement, been mainly dependent for religious instruction; and through their instrumentality several Aboriginal Indian tribes have been converted to Christianity, and have been collected ttigether and settled in nine villages which have been erected for the residence of those formerly iiyured and de- graded people. From tliree to five hundred Indian children and youth are taught in the Schools, several of whom have alremly become useful teachers amongst their poor couiitrynieii. Of the character and labours of tho .Metliodist Ministers in Canaila, fiom the earliest period of its history, the following extracts from tin- Iteport of a select Co'iimittee on »b« Relieiong Condition of the Province, lulopted almost unanimously by the Commons .\ssembly of Upper Canada, contain ample testimony. " I'o the disinterested and indefatigable exertions of these pious men, this province owes much. At an early period of its hi.story, when li was tliinly settled, and its inhabitants were scattered through the wilder- ness, and destitute of ail means of religious instruction, these ministers of the gospel, animated by Christian zeal and benevolence, at tho sacrifice of liealth and interest, carried among the people the blessings, consolations^ and sanctions of our holy religion. Their influence and iustructiofi have been conductive, in a degree which cannot be ea.sily estimated, to the reformation of their hearers from licentiousness, and the defusion of correct morals, the foundation of all sound loy.ilty and socal order " " The great and surprising change which has occurred within A short period of lime in ihi; charait T and condition of large bodies of the Missis^agua Indians is well known. From a state of vice and ignorance, wretehedni'ss and degradation, almost brutal, they have been brought to habits of industry, order, and ti'mperance, a thirst fur knowledge, a pro- fession of the Christian religion, and apparently a cordial and humble belief of its truths, and eixjoyment of its blessings. In tliis change the Melhoilists have been chiefly instrumental. They have manifested the most benevident zeal in accomplishing it; they have sent Missionaries, and established Schools among them, which are supported by voluntary contri- butions, and they are still labouringamongthcm with the same disinterested spirit, and the same sttrprising encouragement and success." £. it.
