APPEAL 
 
 roil rnn; 
 
 DIOCESE OE BRITISH COLUMBIA. 
 
 The Columbia Mission Flxd was estiblished in 1859, to aid the 
 Church of England in the new Colony of British Columbia, the area 
 of which e(inals that of France and England, in the Maintenance of 
 Clergy, Catechists, and Teachers amongst both the European and 
 Indian population ; also in erection of Churches, Schools, Parsonages, 
 and IVIission Buildings. 
 
 Assistance at this time is earnestly sought in consequence of the 
 following ciicumstances, viz. : — 
 
 f^everal Xein l/miV/;?s of peculiar in^.erest have been recently, 
 and almost of necwftsitt/, undertaken : such as the Kev. J. B. 
 Good's removal to the Thovipson Rivrr IndUmx, who urgentln 
 pressed him to come, and o/w/^owe 1,000 have placed tiieniselves 
 luider instruction ; the new Mission to the Tahk-aht Tribes who 
 inhabit 20 villages along 200 miles of the Pacific Coast ; per- 
 manent residence of a Mimonary at Cariboo, the chief mining 
 district of the Colony, &c. 
 
 Falling of in Snbacriptiuiis has *aken place at home through 
 death of friends, expiration of limited time of subscriptions, 
 and other causes. 
 
 A Commercial Crisis, lasting four years, has greatly reduced 
 resources in the Colony, and in spite of all efforts has placed 
 the Mission in debt, 
 
 deduction in the Grant of the Society for the Propagation of 
 the Gospel 30 per cent, has rendered it impossible for the Clergy, 
 alr(3ady poorly paid, to exist upon the reduced incomes. 
 
 Urgent Gall for extension of the work exists especially 
 amongst the Natives of the Eraser and Thompson liivers, in 
 Queen Charlotte's Islands, and elsewhere, which if unJieeded 
 now must result in ground being lost, and openings neglected 
 never afterwards to be regained. 
 
 There will be absolute necessity for giving up important work 
 
 which God is blessing, and reducing the numWr of Clergy, if 
 
 this appeal does not succeed. 
 
 Thus far the work has prospered, and the Church of Christ is being 
 
 steadily planted in that new land ; fof in Ton years, instead of one 
 
Clcrrfiimnu ami one C/nirch, tlioro are 25 (Ihuivhea mid Mission Chnpt'h^ 
 21 RpnUenccs, and li School Rooms, 10 Missions have been opened to 
 the Indian population, glehcs for future endowment have been secured 
 in many parishes, and 15 Cl'iyi/men, 13 Cafechinfs and Teachers 
 form tlie Ministering and Educational body, through whom, from 
 35 centres, the work of civilization is proceeding in all parts of the 
 Colony. 
 
 The Native Indian race niimbers 50,000, and the Europeans are 
 scattered over a vnst area of many districts, varying in population 
 from a few hundreds to several thousands. 
 
 The Colonists are doiuc^ their utmost, making efforts with much 
 self-denial, and the ]joor natives urge us not to desert them. 
 
 For the last two years the liishop has borne personally the risk of 
 keeping up the Mission ; and not only has no one good work been 
 allowed to drop, but nav vjorl', under circumstances of peculiar 
 interest, has been undertaken, and tliia appeal is now made to the 
 sympathy of the Church of England, and all friends of civilization, to 
 lelieve the Mission from its diflficulties, and to further the work of 
 Christ's Gospel in this important Colony of the British Empire. 
 
 £2,000 is recpiired in Annual Suhscriptions ; — and Jhnafions are 
 cnrnestly sought towards the debt upon the Mission and extension 
 of the work. 
 
 Contributions will be thankfully received by —
