I The Committee of the Church Society believe that they should hardly satisfy the wishes and expecta- tions of the Members generally, and they certainly should not do justice to their own views and feel- ings, if, (in reporting the chief events and circum- stances of interest to the Church in this Colony since our last anniversary) they suffered any subject to take precedence of the loss both the Society and the Church have sustained, by the death of their most dear and hijyhly esteemed "V ice-President, Archdeacon Bridge. They desire to bow in humble and duiifnl Bubmission to His appointment, Who has but taken what He gave, and Who can over-rule all trials and bereavements to the edification of His Church and His own glory ; and they trust that thci^c great and gracious ends may be fully answered in this and every case, according to His will. They cannot however but feel and lament the loss of one so highly gifted by nature, so furnished by study, observation aad experience, and, above all, as they trust and believe, so directed and assisted by Divine grace ; — all whose 'gifts and graces were devoted to their service and benefit. It would be superfluous and out of place to enlarge upon the Venerable Archdeacon's many other works and services, so well known and highly appreciated in all Newfoundland ; but a few remarks on his labors for this Society may, it is conceived, on the present occasion be both appropriate and instructive. It may be mentionTed in the first place, that by him nearly all the annual Reports of the Society were framed, and in greater part composed ; while by a continual :'-^ <«mi ^^^ 12 correspondence, and various other means, with his prolific pen, he enforced its claims, and demonstrated its usefulness. Once at least in every year he declared from the pulpit the duty incumbent on the people, as shewn in God's Word both of the old and new Testament, to provide of their worldly, for those who ministered to them in spiritual, thing^s ; and, what was perhaps of more importance, and more worthy of admiration, he took upon himself to make the collections in his own extensive Parish ; not regarding either the iatihue or many other difficulties of such an occupa- tion. While some were representing it as derogatory to a Clerg3rman to ask and collect the contributions of his congregation, he reminded himself and his brethren that it should be considered yet more derogatory to receive support from a Society in England consisting of persons to whom they could make no return. He maintained that no person was so well acquainted as himself with the condition and circumstances of his flock, that no other person's appeal ought to be so powerful, and so gladly responded to as his own ; and that he had the authority of Scripture for calling upon them for temporal in return for spiri- tuiil things. He considered also of what great impor- tance his example would be; and how much the poorer Missions must contiually look to the capital for assistance. By these considerations he was sus- tained in the most fatiguing, ii'ksome and distaste- ful duty that can fall to a Clergyman's lot, and a duty most open to misconception and misrepresentation: but it was enough for him that it was a duty, a duty which he owed to himself and his brethren, and espe- cially to that noble Society which had so long and so largely extended its bounty to the Clergy and Chiirch in this Diocese. - Such exertions could not but be blessed with sue- cess, and he had the happiness of seeing the Church Society's income encreasing from little more than f*«k ^ '» fM-- \t 1200 iu 1841 (its socond year)., to niearly 11,300 in 1855; more thau one-third of that amount being collected in St. John's. This remark has reference only to the actual sum Cj£1,279 15s. 8d.) paid into the Treasurer's hands since the publication of the last Report, and does not include other sums, amounting to many hundred pounds, collected and retained in several Missions. The total of collections during the last twelve months will probably exceed j£2,000. The Archdeacon constantly expressed his conviction that there ought to be, and would be, particularly in the capital, a further and considerable encrease. He hoped and believed that, when the necessity and obligation were better understood, and more assistance given in making the collections, three or four times thf present amount would be realized. It was not however merely as a means of collecting revenue for the support of the Church, however im- portant and sacred such an object undoubtedly is, that he valued and upheld, laboured and suffered for, our Society. He regarded it also as a means, or in- strument, of making the Clergy better acquainted with each other and each other's work : and of interesting the laity in the spiritual welfare and spiritual wants of the whole Diocese. It was chiefly perhaps with that view that he took upon himself, for a considera- ble time before his death, the onerous duties of Se- cretary, and in that capacity maintained an extensive correspondence on the affairs of the Society. In grateful remembrance of these manifold laboui's and services, (believing that their sentiments would be fully appreciated, and responded to, by the whole Society,) the Committee on first assembling after his decease, before proceeding to other business, passed the following Resolution, — " The Committee of the Church Society desire to place ujion re- cord, their deep sense of the loss the Church of England in this Colony has sustained by the death of the late Venerable Archdeacon Bbidge. His indefatigable zeal in promoting the objects of our Society was beyond all praise." 1-* Although it may not perhaps properly belong to a Report, it seems almost a matter of sacred necessity to call upon the members of the Society to shew their real appreciation of their dear friend's and spiritual father's desires and endeavours, by maintaining and promoting them to the utmost of their ability. To forget or neglect the objects a^nd interest of this Society, would assuredly be nothing less than to for- get or neglect his precept and example ; both of which, it is hoped, will long live in the memories and hearts of all his Hock and friends. The next subject to be adverted to is of a similar melancholy character. Reports have lately reached St. John's of the death of another excellent and valua- ble Missionary, the Rev. Mr. Boland of St. George's Bay, in an awful manner. No accoun" has yet been received from the place, but of the following particu- lars there is, it is feared, unhappily no room for doubt. Some time in the early part of March, (the day is not exactly known) Mr. Boland went to visit a parish- ioner a short distance from Sandy Point, the place of his residence ; and not returning when expected, search* was made for him, and he was found dead within a mile of his own house. It is presumed that, having incautiously gone alone, ho had lost his way in a drift, and yielding to cold and fatigue, had sunk into that fatal sleep in which the vital powers are soon extinct. Mr. Boland had been for several years a Scripture reader in the city of London, and came to this coun- try with very high recommendations. He was a person .of learning, ability and zeal, and his minis- try appeared to be much blessed in the remote settle- ^ <4 •This part of the statement was found to be not quite correct No searcn was made, for no danger was apprehended. The body was found on the ice, cold and stifi', by a person accidentally crossing in a sleigh, and was conveyed by him to Mrs. Boland and the daugh- ters, who up to that time had not di'eamt of danger. 15 ^ i ments (first of Channel, and afterwards of Sand/ Point, St. George's Bay) to which he was sent as tho Society's Missionary, by the present Bishop of New- foundland, by whom also he was ordained both Dea- con and Priest. Mr. Boland has left a wife and three children in a land of strangers, quite unprovided for ; without even means of returning to their native country. The extent to which tho Archdeacon had taken upon himself the direction of the Society's aflairs, and particularly the correspondence, will, it is feared, ren- der the present Report in some respects incomplete. In particular the returns of his own collections in St. John's though the amounts have been duly paid into the Treasurer's hands, cannot be ascertained in detail, and it is thought better to omit the list of subscrib- ers altogether than to run the risk of publishing one either erroneous or incomplete. The contributions of the members in St. John's were entered in a pri- vate memorandum book, which could not be dccy- phered and digested but by the writer himself. And with regard to the lists from the Out-harbors, though several have been found correct and entire, some are missing and others of doubtful authority. The Trea- surer's account however will furnish an accurate statement of the amounts actually received both from the Out-harbors and St. John's. And with respect to the collections in the capital, it may be regarded as a proof of the Archdeacon's continued exertions for the Society, and in the rightful appreciation of those ex- ertions on the part of his parishioners, that in a year of unusual pressure and scarcity, while many other claims (as, for example, of tho Asylum for Widows and Orphans, the Patriotic Fmid and the purchase of a new Organ) had to be advocated, and the means of meeting even the ordinary engagements and expences were diminished by a failure of the seal fishery, and the exorbitant price of provisions, and all the neces- aaries of life ; — in that year of pressure and scarcity, • "ja ' jKM tttmm MM «■ 1ft the colleeiloiis in St. .Tohii's amounted, (with iho addi' tion of a few pounds received from the seal-huntors this sprinjjj,) to a larger total than that of the pro- ceding year. This result, comforting in the re- trospect, is very encouraging for the future, as it shews wliat an cncrease may reasonably be expected, now those various difficulties and hindrances are re- moved. The same satisfactory result may bo report- ed of the out-harbors ; for, notwithstanding a falling off in some Missions, through the great deficiency of the catch on the Labrador, the aggregate amount is grejjtter than that of former years. Having made allusion to the necessity of omitting this year all lists of the subscribers, it seems proper to remark that it has appeared to the Committee un- necessary and undesirable to print in any subsequent Report, the names of subscribers of less than ten, or at lowest five shillings ; or the contributions for mis- cellaneous objects not contemplated by the Society. The labor of preparing the lists for the printer and the expence of printing them are serious considera- tions, and it has not unfrequently happened that the longest and most troublesome accounts hare cbme from Missions making no payment to the Treasurer. And here it may be permitted to remark (as we find ddne in some former Reports) that, to forward a list of subscribers to the Secretary, is a very different thing from paying the amount of subscriptions to the Treasurer. It is acknowledged that it may in some cases be inconvenient to transmit money to St. John's ; but when it is known and considered that the amounts collected have been regularly forwarded from the most remote parts of the Island,) from St. George's Bay to the westward«and Moreton's Harbor to the northward), it would appear that there must be some other objection or difficulty. Whatever the particu- lar objection or difficulty may be, and whether diffe- i^t ii^ different cases, or in e^ch the same, the result i I I I- t I It may be, and perhaps should be, that (except on somer very special occasion) no assistance will be given to* those Missions, from which no contribution has been received ; while to every Mission, regularly contribut- ing, aid is freely extended for every local Church ob- ject, besides the amount promised to the Clergyman. It was hoped that all objections to the consti- tution and Working of the Society would be remov- ed by allowing the contributors in each Deanery, (to the amount of ten shillings annually,) to elect their own members and representatives in the Committee ; instead of. filling Up the vacancies, as formerly, at the annual Meeting in St. Johns. And there is reason to believe that the change is acceptable to the majority^ One Deanery only, that of (Notre-Dame Bay) has de- clined to avail itself of the privilege, and Twillingate prefers to be independent altogether of the Church Society. However, from other Missions in that Deanery, (from Fogo and Moreton's Harbor) the col- lections have been forwarded, and from Herring Neck a list of contributors of either money or labour to a Parsonage-House now in course of erection ; in consideration of which the Missionary is content for the present to forego his claims. It is much to be desired that members of the Church would, through their representatives, or otherwise, state to the Com- mittee any objections that may be entertained either to the constitution or working of the Society.. Every desire is felt by the President and present Committee to satisfy, as far as possible, the wishes and expectations of all members of the Church in the' Colony ; so that all might unite in, and be united by, the common and gene- il eflfort for the support of those who minister in holy things, and of the various objects required for the due celebration of their com- mon worship. The necessity for such an effort ha* been long enough seen and acknowledged, and alas f by some of the Clergy too sevei^ly felt ; but it is> likely to be f^lt; if not seen and acknowledgedy 18 much morO; now that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has actually commenced the long threatened withdrawal of the stipends formerly given to each and every Missionary in the Colony. The Clergyman appointed to succeed the late Archdeacon in St. John's will not, we are told, receive any stipend from that Society. The change is greatly to be de- plored ; but more for the effect it must have upon the amount available for the Out-harbours, and for the interference with the principle, so strongly advocated, of a common fund, than for any doubt, that the mem- bers of the Church in St. John's can and will make up tiie deficiency to their Minister or Ministers. But in truth it is not necessary to wait for further with- drawals or reductions in order to show the duty of further and general efforts for the support of thb present, and a supply of additional labourers, in this, portion of the Lobd's vineyard. Too many, if we should not say all, of the present Clergy have but a miserable pittance, insufficient for the decent support of a family ,v while still there are many districts in which the visits of the Missionary are few and far be- tween, and in which consequently more Clergymen are imperatively required, -ia o > na 5^ -a-x^^ t- ^^^ ! What Tovided that all these publications should bo oflfei^ed for sale, not (ad is usual in the Colonies) with a charge for freight, insurance, and shipping added to the origina«l cost in England, but at and for the same price currency which would be the price sterling in England ; and has paid from his own funds for the use df a store, and for the keeping and sale of the. Books. The Depository, so provided and supported r - 20 hfts boon conducicd for upwards of ten years by Mr, McOoubrey; and a Bimilar, one similarly provided and supported; upwards of three years by Mr. Oodden at Harbor Grace. It has however been found incon^ venient to unite the sale of these Books with other business, particularly in St. John's ; and a shop has therefore been taken exclusively for the purpose, at a large additional expense.^ It is on this account that the Committee have made this first grant to an object of great interest and importance to the whole Diocese. Books, to the value of £50 stg., have been added this year to the stock 'in St. John's, and others to the value of X20 to the Depot in Harbor Grace. Thero are now in the Depot in St, John's, (in the French, German and Spanish as well as English languages,) 253 Bibles, 165 Testaments, and 362 Prayer Books, with numerous religious publications. Tracts, School Books and Maps, to the value together of above jS 150, all on sale at very reduced prices; the ex- penses being borne, as before, exclusively by the Bishop, :i «. In addition to furnishing the Depot with their pub- lications at Members prices, the Society for Promot- ing Christian Knowledge has this year on the recom- mendation of the Bishop, granted to one Clergyman (the Bev. Mr. Sail) a gi'atuitoi|8 supply of Bibles, Testaments, and Prayer Books, and to two others (the Bev. Messrs. Harvey and Elder) a large number of Tracts, for distribution in their respective Missions : and, on the application of the late Archdeacon, Bibles, Testaments, aijd Prayer Books, (several of them in the German language) with other religious Books and Tracts, for distribution on the Labrador, in the event of the Bishop making a voyage to the Moravian Missions, and other settlements and stations on that shore^ * At Mr. J.

On receiving from tho Bishop intelligcnoe of the Archdeacon's decease, and tho difficulty in consequence in wliich his widow and family wore placed, tho Committee voted to them £250, and put in train a subscription which, with their own liberal contribution, already o;cccods £1,000.* /! ' 11 . . : These circumstances cannot but bo most gratifying, as showing the continued interest and sympathy of these noble Societies in all that concerns the woll< being and welldoing of the Church in this piooeso. Jtfay jt not be hoped they will excii, ., not only gratis tude but, a desire to exhibit some corresponding interest in, and concern for, their blessed and holy work, in other parts of the world, This may bo dono in a manner both profitable and acceptable, by taking more and more upon ourselves the burden, (if that \a a right and proper word in such a case,) of suppovting our own Church with all its necessary means and appliances ; and thus releasing the aid, so long and bountifully granted us, for the benefit and blessing of younger Colonies, and the destitute heathen, The circumstances which has made it impossible to present the list of contributions for the past year in a complete and accurate form, is in part the cause of another deficiency in this Report, much to be re- gretted, We alludo to the paucity of letters and communications from the Clergy. These are found both interesting and useful, especially in making the inhabitants of different Missions better acquainted with what is dono, or attempted, both by and for their brethren in other localities ; for example, their con- to *While this Report was soing through the Press, the Society voted £100 stg, to the widow ana fomily of the late Mr, Boland, . ^.^t immm .\..^,... 8JP. 1 WUJJ H I \ 22 • tributions to the common fund, their needs and neces- sities in spiritual things, and in general their pro- fiting by the Word and means of grace. Another cause of this deficiency, it is believed, is the desire which has been felt by the Clergy to meiet and satisfy the requirements of the Society for tie Propagation of the Gospel, which now extend to a quarterly report and annual return from each Missi- onary. How far that Society's expectations in this behalf have been satisfied may be learnt from the following gratifying notice in their last Report. ** The Society has to acknowledge thankfully the receipt of a large body of Missionary Reports from every part of this dioceae, ex- tending from Labrador on oAe side to Bermuda on the other. A short abstract of them is appended, and th^ Society has full con- fidence diat the details thiis furnished will tend to awaken the sympathies of very many in the trials, difficulties, and laboiirs of the Newfoundland Misfflonary." The subsequent remarks in that Societj*s .Report in reference to this Diocese are exceedingly inte- resting and instructive. « The total expenditiure otthe Society on this Diocese in ooneddera- h)» ; but in no case is the salary assigned to a Missionary calculated on ^e supposition of its being the whole income on which he has to de{)end fot the support of himself and his family. The principle of the SQa*3ty is the only one on which a Missionary institution can act in lustiee to its own 6upporters,'>'that, namely, of enabluig, by its con- . tributions, poor congregations ef Colonists to maintain a minister of the Church amongst iheriu ' **To support him wholly, where the people are able to do much or anything, would be simply to tax willing ^subscribers at home, to save the money of Uiose few (it is : believed) unworthy Churchmen, who whjle ready to profit by the services of a clergyman, grudge him his just remimeration. The Society, which spares no pains or labour to raise contributions in this country for every Colonial Church that really needs such help, has a just and strong claim on every mission or congreffat^on which is so assisted, to do uie best for itseu, and hpt to apply for, or even consent to receive, any grant from the Society which is not absolutely required. <* The Society has watclred with satisfaction the increasing income of the Church Society, which, established for the piurpose of supplying the ministrations of religion to eveiy settlement and cove of New- foundland, has an irresistible claim on the liberal support of every churchman in the island ; and certainly those people who will use no 1 23 or ire jpt efforts and make no sacrifices on their own behalf, have no right to come to the Society at home to relieve them from tiicir oami proper burdens. " Notwithstanding, however all that is conti'buted from home or raised within the Diocese, the Society is painfully conscious that many of the most exemplary and laborious Missionaries, who have spent their best j'ears in the service of their Heavenly Master, are subjected often to great j^rivationSf and are without the most ordinary cotnforts of Hfe ; and it is anxious that all should be assured that it is no lack of sympathy or brotherlv feeling that prevents the Society doing more for them j but the principle on which it feels itself bound to act, a principle which in practice is enforced by the Society's own scant means, and the overpowering demands from all quarters of the world upon its inadequate funds." It way well be supposed that having to make these frequent reports the Clergy have hardly found leisure, or materials, for separate and independent communi- cations to our Society. The following however have been received and are sufficient to mak apparent the desireableness of more extended information of this character. ' ■ , Haapqr BftiTbii', jhcemher 91, tS55. Hev. ;un) Deab Snt, I have much pleasure in sending you my Church Society's re» turns, as I tlunk \mder all circumstances they are as satis&ctory as I could expect, either as regards the number of subscribers or the amount subscribed. I have labored under several disadvantages during the past vear, all of which must have operated against my collection. In the first place I was a stranger to the people, and therefore had to become acquainted with their character ana habits^ both of which are different m>m those of the population of my former Mission ; then, I was afraid to employ a man servant as skipper and naaster, in consequence of the reduction of the salarypaid to my pre- decessor by the Society for the Propa^tion of the Gospel, and until I knew my resources. And when I did arrange for a boat and crew^ the boat was cast on shore at Blanchet in the gale yridch prevented the laying of the Telegraph Cable ; and so much mjury and delay ensued, that 1 was unable to visit the distant parts of the Bay. I was also a good deal occupied with my duties as Kural Dean in attendance upon uie Lord Bishop. On all these accounts I think the society have no reason to complain of the amoimt sent in, as I am sure they have not of my desire to mrward the sacred cause in which they are engaged. It wul be seen that a special collection has been made for the ccHnpletion of our church, and I have thought it rig^t to send that, in justice to one of my Church Wardens, (Ms. Sheppebd,) to whose labors I am in the main indebted for that sum. I may be paidoned I hope fin: add* 24 f i rtlg that the result of his effoits prove what an individual can do who choofieH to intercHt hiniHelf among hut fellow laymen oh behalf of his Church. A further «um of £19 has been raised for this purpose from friends whose names I am not at liberty to use. When to these sums is added the amount of my offertory (£23 cy.) £13 of which was for the special purpose of the Crimean Patriotic Fund, I hope the So- ciety have sufficient evidence that there are in this Mission those whtf lieartily wish us God speed. My Church-yard has been enlarged, and partly fenced anew, and a road through it stopped up, and the CTiiu^cn in part painted extemalh'. I am fftr from saving that the amouDt collected is What it ought to be, and might be, it every member of our visible Church was really ahvo to his duty, I will notjay to the Church and his neighbors, but to himself ; but this can hardly be expected after so few years of labor among such a population. Indeed the present condition of the people is a noble and gratifying testimonial of the energetic labors, the self-denial, and faithful system of my predecessor the Rev. J. Q. Mountain, M. A. This year I have had twelve new Commu- nicants. No persons but those who see and experience the fact, can be coii- fldous of the difference of life and habits in the different Bays, or of the peculiar trials of each Missionary. I who thought that I had Been a good deal in my former Mission am grieved and even startled with things I meet with here. Only a .steady, consistent course of conduct, especially of the Communicants, can, under FrovidencCf hasten on our work. Individual examples are most important and effective. I have endeavored to excite an Interest on behalf of our Church iii the youngsters who came out as servants to Messrs. Newman & Co., by devoting several evenings a week (at this time three) to teaching them reamng, writing, arithmetic and mn^g, vnth a kind of general lecture on the I£ustory, Geography and Religion of diffe* rent nations in the world; alwavs concludmg with a chapter from the New Testament and Family Prayer. And if I consider the names now sent on the lists of contributors, their generally respectfiil behaviour, and last, but not least, theu: voluntary offers to mow and make my hay and work in my garden, (as I had no man servant) I hope I am not presumptuous in thinking that I have in some measure mioceeded. I have learnt to consider the emigrants to Newfoundland in the capacity of servants of great unportance, and have become convinced that a precious opportunity of improving this Colony has been lost by those masters who have been content with exact' ing the bodily labour of their servants, without in any way seeking to elevate and direct the nobler faculties of our nature $ because many of these servants marry and settle in isolated spots and become nmotrnded with families as ignorant as themselves who might in other and happier circumstances have been an example and a blessing to all who became connected irith them. I wish to beai the Meist testimony to the encouragement and ack 25 distance which I have at all times received from Andrew Ellis, Esq. and family — both as examples of life and conduct and as kind friends. I have also received every hospitality from Messrs. Chapman of Jersey Harbor — Gallop of Gaultois — Dawe of Burgeo — Clement of LaPoile — and Read of Channel, the respective Agents of the Merchant^ in those places. It mil be seen that every householder in Brunet has subscribed, and if there was a good school at Sagona it would, I doubt not, br my pleasing duty to report the same of that settlement. One great want IS that of good Schools under the control and direction of, and visited by the Missionary, so that ever}' Uttle child, as well as the older popula- tion, might be imable to say that no man cares for their souls. The in- terest and connection between the Missionary and his people must be clear and distinct and as immediate as possible ; that the conviction oi of the continual supervision of the earthly Pastor, though not present in person, may work a still more powerful and important conviction of the continual presence of the " Great Shepherd of His Sheep," and a firmer reliance, in and under all circumstances, on His Almighty inte]> ferencc, and Has all merciful aid and dkection. At the usual settling time the quite orderly conduct of the people was remarked with surprise by strangers who were present ; and is I hope indictive of a better state of things, Dimn^ the simimer I was enabled to remove into a much more commodious and convenient house contiguous to the Chiuch-yard and Church, but I am sorry to say the rent is high, I do not mean for the house, which is a very good one, but for my curcumstances. I sincerely hope and pray that another year may produce a more satisfactory report from this mission, and I am, Rev. and Dear Sir, Your faithful servant, WILLIAM KEPPLE WHITE, Missionary and Rural Dean, -i,.-.. y.Ai. The Secretary Of the Newfoundland Church Society, St John's. Parsoxagej Hermitage Cove, February 13th, 1856. Ven. and Dear Sir, The enclosed packet, you will find, contains my account of the collections for the Church Society in this Mission, made this last fall j the amount collected is £66 17s. 6d., shewing an mcrease of £16 17s. 6d. over the smn paid in the fall of 1854, which, considering that provisions have greatly increased in price while ther^ has becnout a ■^'V,:''- 'on fish (of which there has been only an tverage catch) is some evidence that the people are more alive to the duty and - privilege of contributing according to their alnlity for the support of reli^on among them, and that uie ChtuKsh is taking rootintheilr hearts; I removed in May last into the new Parsonage House of Hermitage Cove, and since then have continued to occupy for Divine Service our beautiftil little Church, which was consecrated on the 26th August by ' ourgood Bishop, vrith the name of St. Saviour. There were persons ; from all parts m the Mistaon to witness the dedication of the btiilcHi% ' to Afanignty Qod, and jofai in the sacred services of the day. Nearly every oodasional service was performed in it on that day, viz.. Consecra- tion, Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Commimion, Marriage, Churchii^ of Women, and the Morning and Evening Friers. HisXOrdship alsd > consecrated a Orave-yard the same day. The Sermon at Momin^g ' Service was preached bv his Lordship, and in the Evening by the Rev.' W. K. White, Rural Dean. It is an event that will be ever memont* ble to the inhabitants of this Bay, many, yea, most of whom, never be*'*' fore saw so many people together in one place at one time, and in one *' buU^ng. The estabHshing of a Mission with a Church and Parsonage will be ' an inestimable blesmns to this whole Bav. Every moderate Sunday -^ boats full of persons nodk. in from all the surrounding harbours, so that maay^ who cannot read and would otherwise, spend their Suctdayi' in little better than idleness, are now enaUed to assemble With 0n6^ accord to worship their great Creator. It is very gratifying to the Missionarv to see them tbus xxmgtega.tr ins together, and not a little joyful to them must be diesound bf ther' bell, calling them to hasten to the Temple, with the sacrifice of Prayer and Praise. I have nothing more of aiw importance to commimicate concern- ing my Mission at present The above, I trust, will show that we are advancing, tho' slowly, in the right way. There is, I feel sure, many an earnest and thanuul heart among us, that is continually lifted up in griaitdful adoration, for ^e spiritual blessings we enjoy.

I am glad to infonn you that great satisfaction is felt here at the efficient working of the " Commit- tee of Management," which was formed in Trinity during last year. It will be seen from the Treasurer's account which I enclose to you, that more money was raised for Chiurch purposes bjr the Committee during last year, than the Clergyman ever collected in any year iire- cedlng. On Ai^wednesday the "Committee of Management" held their naif-yearly meeting. There would have been a public Mission- ary Meeting if we could have obtained the uise of the School-room in which the public hitherto have assembled, but that was forbid, and I know not for what reason. After prayer, B.. SweetIuVND, Esq. hav- ing taken the Chair, ttue Committee proceeded to business.. The Rev. B. Smith rc^d a brief Report of the Church operations in this Mission for the past year. After the reading of the Report, W. G. P.

' No changes of importance had been made in tho stations or occupations of the Clergy since the last Report, and it seemed that their blessed and Holy work was proceeding under the Divine favour most peacefully and successfully, till it pleased God in His inscrutable providence by trials and bereavements to thin and weaken our small Missionary band. Tho Clergy are now three less in number than at this sea- son last year; and one of these three in himself a host. Whether these trials are appointed to rebuke us for our too little appreciation and improvement of former mercies, or to convince us of our utter helplessness in ourselves, there is, (we have been instructed,) this and this only remedy, " Come, tind let tis return unto the Lord, for He hath torn and He will heal us ; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up."
