' ly-nVSr i< I^> REPORT. iV ',. ■,J -,,f Thb general statement oi' the affairs of the Parent VVesleyuti Missionary Society, read at the last annnal meeting held in Exeter Hall in May last, was of a most cheering and grati- fying character. Without further preliminary remarks, wo proceed to lay before the friends of Wesleyan Missions in Eastern Canada the most important and interesting portions of the abbreviated Annual Report: — m * The receipts of the Wesleyan Missionary Society for the year ending December 31, 1853, were £114,498 14s. 3d., being an increase of £9,116 14s. 9d. over those of the pre- ceding year. As the amounts presented to the Society in the form of Donations on Annuity are more than Four Thousand Pounds less than in the former year, and as there is also a small decrease on other Miscellaneous sources of Income, it is evident that the result now reported must have arisen from a considerable advance on other sources of receipt. This advance is found in the receipts from the Home Districts, in the Hibernian Missionary Society, and in the contributions of Foreign Auxiliaries, especially the Auxiliaries in Austra- lia, which have exceeded all former years in their ordinary contributions, and have also remitted considerable sums for the outfit and passage of additional Ministers for the Colo- nies ; but the amount of legacies received during the year has been advanced beyond all former precedent by the pay- ment to the Society of the munificent bequest of Ten Thou- sand Pounds, less duty, by the Society's early and well known friend, the late Thomas Marriott, Esq. 6 .C s. I).

The Expenditure of the year has also been JC 114,498 14s. 3d., including the amount of JS5,119 17s. 4d., which has been paid in ^mrtial liquidation of the accumulated deficien- cies of former years. The remaining balance of those defi- ciencies now stands at JS 19,50 1 lis. lOd., the entire liquida- tion of which the Committee keej^xs steadily in view in connection with the financial management of all the opera- tions of the Society. The expenditure of the year has been augmented to a large amount by the outfits and passages of no less than thirty Missionaries, some of them married. The Home Receipts (including JS4,195 8s. from Ireland) were ^676,405 Is. 9d., — the Receipts from Foreign Auxilia- ries, &c., jei7,713 13s. 4d., — and the Miscellaneous Receipts je20,379 19s. 2d. In presenting the Annual Reixjrt from Ireland^ the General Superintendent observes ; — You will see there is a consider- able increase in the Sunday-schools, and also in the attend- >i. u. ance on public worihip. This is mutter oC grutitude, espciM- lilly at the time when we have to meet such a united and determined opposition. I have before informed you that the Schools have suffered considerably from the denunciations of the priests, but tboy nro now gradually recovering the shock, and I believe we never liad so many Roman Catholic chil- dren in our schools as now. Their parents say their children get no such instruction in any other schools, nor so much kindness shown them ; hence, when the children are detained ut home, they do nothing but weep till they are allowed to come again. At Winnenden, in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, Mr. Mttller had been, during the year, in a very enfeebled state of health. The Committee had requested him to name some person or persons r|ualified for usefulness in the same depart- ment which he has so long filled, and three were selected. Since these arrangements were made Mr. Miiller^s health hos greatly improved, and the work of Grod advances still. The last year at Gibraltar has been one of unusual change. Forty-two members have been lost by removals. The con- gregation has also suflered greatly from emigration. Under these circumstances it is matter of thanksgiving that the numbers are only seven fewer than they were in 1852. Thirty-five new members have been received during the year — a greater accession than in any similar period for the last thirteen years. In the Spanish Department there hns been much to exercise our faith and patience. The services in both departments of the work have been conducted with- out intermission. The schools are in a flourishing state, and have received a larger share of public approval and support than at any former period. The number of children receivinj? instruction is, — Boys, 179 ; Girls, 65. CEYLON AND CONTINENTAL INDIA. In South Ceylon, notwithstanding many opposing influ- ences, the result of the yeor's labour is encouraging. An increase of forty in the total number of members, with a t ! large number on trial for membership, sliovvs that the labours oj the Missionaries have not been fruitless, and an increase in the local contributions proves that they are increasingly appreciated. The zealous cndeavoors of the Romish priests to make proselytes have succeeded to some extent at Negmnbo. Mixed marriages have been the implements by which their game has |been played, and five members have left the Society ; yet there is a small increase. Several heads of families, in a District thirteen miles from the Mission-House, have requested visits and instruction, and have engaged to build a chajiel for themselves. Froin Pantura the Mission- ary writes : " the demand for the Tracts on Budhism and the New Testament is very great. One cheering feature of the work is the zeal manifested by our young converts to bring others to a saving acquaintance with the Gospel." At GcUle, there are eight Singhalese services on the Sabbath, and regular open-air preaching through the week. In North Ceylon. — From Jaffna^ Mr. Griffith reports a steady increase of the Native and English congregations. At Wannerpooney two, and sometimes three, services are held nbout sunrise on the Sabbath morning ; and on week- day evenings also, especially when it is moonlight. The character of these suburban and village congregations afford the Missionary an index to " the comparatively advanced religious condition of the population of Jaffna." In the Edu- cational Institution at Jaffna great pains are taken to teach the doctrines and evidences of Christianity. The boarders, in training for future teachers, are seventeen in number, several of whom are members of Society ; the total number of pupils is eighty-four in the upper school and a hundred and one in the lower. The female schools afford every satis- faction. Four have lately been added to the Native Girls' Boarding-School, and arrangements are made to receive eight more.

Mr. Piercy having b6en longer resi- dent in the country, has commenced preaching in a room in his own house, which was opened as a chapel in June last, and the continued kinlness of Dr. Hobson has allowed him the occasional assistance of Leang Afa, the iirst convert of Protestant Missionaries in China. This venerable man, who was baptized in 1816, by Dr. Milne, preuches once on the Lord's Day in the Methodist Chapel. Mr. Piercy takes the other service. A school for boys has also been commenced during the past year, and Mrs. Piercy will probably do some- thing on behalf of the females when she is better acquainted with the colloquial dialect of Canton. Mr. Piercy has trans- lated the first catechism, and part of the second, for the use of the Mission School j and some {tortious of the Scripture Narratives have been printed under his direction, to be used as tracts. Other tracts have been obtained from various sources, and largely distributed, particularly at the gates of the city of Canton, where, though the Missionary cannot enter, his message finds a welcome reception. The acknow- ledgements of the Committee are due to the British Consul at Canton for his assistance kindly rendered to Messrs. Beach and Cox in overcoming the difficulties attendant upon their obtaining possession of a residence in the western suburb of that city ; and they renew the expression of their obligations to the "Anonymous Friend," by whose liberality the ex- pense of printing certain specified tracts has been defrayed, and who has also forwarded j£100 to provide copies of the New Testament for distribution by Mr. Piercy and his col- leagues. The three brethren have en' aged to distribute ten thousand copies each, if spared, during the coming year, from the supply to be provided by the " Million Testaments Fund .' ' The little Society at Hong Kong has been so greatly reduced in number by the removal of the soldiers and.other causes, that it has been judged expedient to commend them to the care of other Christian Ministers^ who, being on the spot, could exercise a more efficient oversight of them than the brethren at Canton. . . . . 'Ml if I t Pi-i T^* ydtif just Mhchtded has been full of interest to the Meihodist Societies in that vast region of the globe. Each bf the disttiets has had the advantage of a visit from the bepiitatioh apjKnnted for this purpose by the Conferenee of 1852, and has been greatly benefited by the counsel and en^ couragement afl^rded. It now clearly appears, from the reso*- lutions unanimously adopted at the several district and other Jmeetings^ that the anticipations in which the Committee in'- dnlged as to the ability and Vkrillingness of the Societies ia Austmlia atid Van Piemen's Land^ both to maintain the work of God and provide fot its ektension around them, vrere hot at all too sanguine.

To meet the heavy expenses thus incurred, special subscriptions have been made, both in New South Wales and Victoria, amounting in all to the liberal sum of £1,300. Notwithstanding this large augmentaUon, the supply of Ministers in these colonies falls much below the demand. Each of the Districts in Australia and Van Dieman's Land intimates to the Committee that it requires and could profitably employ a larger amovnt of ministerial Ubour. The extracts from the reports of several Circuits ii Vio- tma were interesting on many accounts. Mr. Butters writes concerning Melhoutiie >-^« Our cause has been seriously afieoted by the removal of nearly all our principal officers from town, where house-rent has become so extravagantly^ high, and the discomforts of families so great, that they have Conv^ted their former residences into |^aces of business, and have removed their families int» the country. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new Iron Chapel for the City, and are persuaded that as toon as it can be erected it will be filled.

There are at present 102 per- sons in the establishment. At our class-meetings we have had members from England, Scolland, Ireland, Jersey, Canada, the United States, the West Indies, Germany, Cape of Good Hope, France, New South Wales, South Australia, Van Dieman's Land, and the Gold Fields of Victoria, who have evidently felt that they were, while in our institution, at * Home. ' Since Mr. Harding^s arrival among us he has several times visited ships with immigrants immediately on their arrival in port, and has in other ways devoted a great proportion of his time and attention to their welfare. The Lieutenant Governor has shown his estimate of the In- stitution by promising to place two thousand pounds addi-> tional upon the estimates of next year, (on condition that we raise one thousand) to enable us to enlarge and complete the building." wh rFiHumxnn ! Throughout the Province the day-schools are well reported of; but it is believed that teachers of a higher class would find encouragement, and that a Normal Training Institution would be a most important and desirable accession to the means of usefulness already at the command of the Churchest The CMd Fields Circuit has hitherto comprised both the Fortst Greek and Bendigo Diggings, at a distance of thirty miles from each other. The Sunday Schools at the Diggings are five in number, two of them having an average attend- ance of more than sixty scholars each, and all being well reported of. As yet there arc no day schools. htriU io da^l^tf , The work of the important I^rovince of South Australia wears a che^ful aspect. The two Circuits which bear the name of the capital are in an encouraging condition, having to a great extent recovered the disasters formerly reported. In the Adelaide South Circuit the place of fifty-four mem- ben removed has been supplied, and a total inorei:^se of r ben of our We persons have been It 102 per- ' ^^e have ^* Jersey, any, Cape Australia, '^'ia, who wtitution, 3» us he mediately evoted a welfare. - f* the Jn- At Wellington^ the enlightened and philanthropic Gover- nor of the colony has for some time desired to see an estab- lishment like that at the Three Brings j and the last repoitS; make grateful mentron of his Excellency's kindness in securing a most eligible sijte near the town for a school, and residences for the masters and seholars. The Executive Coujacil have sanctioned the grant of a sum of money ie/t t^e purpose of commencing operations on this site. Tha Circuit Reports tfai$ year present few features calling ior special remarks or lengthened quoitation. From the Waimm Report an extract may be given in a few wordsi, but of great significance:— ^Popory in ev»ry part of Uiis Ciieuit has ceased to exist among the natives, even as a profoasion. AU are now accessible, and, in jmmd« degree^ uttder iha inftoenee of our teaching.

The most casual observer cannot fail to mark the improved tone of moral feeling among them in the last few years. The history of the Friendly Islmids' Mission during the last year exhibits some sorrowful circumstances. Of the seven European Missionaries stationed there, three have been compelled to leave by failure of health — Messrs. Miller, M. Wilson, and Peter Turner. The evil effects of the late war have not been exhausted at its close, but have been painfully manifested in the impaired tone of the piety of many, the imsettledness of others, and the drifting away from the Church of those who had more of the form than the power of godliness. Diminution of numbers and local finances are the natuml results of such a state of things. In the midst of these afflictions, however, there is ample cause for gratitude and rejoicing. The report from Tonga refers in pleasing terms to the benefits already realized since the restoration of peace. The Report of Schools states that nine additional schools have been established in Tonga since the close of the war. From the Training Institution seven- teen students who had completed their three years' course have been appointed to schools in various islands, and four- teen new students have been admitted. The demand for such portions of the Holy Scriptures as are in circulation in the language of these Islands continues unabated. The last year has been marked by a most gratifying event, the com- pletion at the Mission Press of an edition of 3,000 copies of the entire New Testament, the translation of which has undergone careful revision. This edition was undertaken before the brethren received information of the munificent grant of the British and Foreign Bible Society, announced in the last Report. The translation of the Old Testament, which has been executed in great part by Mr. Hazlewood, has been completed, and will be diligently revised by Mr. II m I iii'H J ' \f ,'!, 18 Watsfonl, before it is put to |>re»s. The English and Feo- jenn Diotiunary is also finished. A full and able Report of the LakenUki Circuit, by Mr. Lyth, supplies many interesting particulars. Of the Vewa Circuit, which is estimated to contain two-thirds of the entire population of the Feejee group, there is not an equally favourable report. A heavy affliction has befallen this Cir- cuit in the death of Elijah Varani, a Christian Chief of good character and long standing, who has been cruelly murdered, with two brothers and four of his people. It has also suffered a sad calamity in the eruption of a volcano, which has car- ried awuy a town with a chapel and twenty-five persons. Bua Circuit haa proved a place of trial and mourning to the Missionary occupying it. No serious personal injury has been done to him,, but his life has been threatened, and many minor annoyaneca pmetised. In the Nandy Circuit the peo- ple in general maintain their profession — the means of grace continue to be well attended, and many are evidently grow- ing in grace. At least, twenty heathen villages are visited for the purpose of affording Christian instruction, in addition to the eight places which form the Circuit. Another earnest appeal has been addressed to the Committee on behalf of Rotvmaht where there are in all about 600 persons bearing the Christian name and desirous of instruction, but who, with the exception of a visit from Mr. Williams last year, have been entirely under the care of Tonga Native Teach- ers. There are eight chapels, and four other preaching pla- ces, and about thirty members of Society. No very marked peculiarity is noticed in the GrahanCs Town Report. The Society at Fort Beaufort has been in- creased by the addition of seventy-six members in the last year. Since the conclusion of the war it has been deter- mined by the Governor that a Fingoe settlement shall be I mxsamm l»«h and Foo^ ircuit, by Mr. ^^''the Vewa •thirds of the lot an equally iHen this Cir- Chief of good liy murdered, » also suffered ioh has car- five persons, nourning to il injury has d, and many suit the pec- ans of grace ently grow- are visited in addition ther earnest a behalf of •ns bearing > but who, last year, ve Teaeh- ching pla- been in- the last Bn deter- shall be 19 formed here, and a site has been granted for this purpose. Mr. Aylifl' has been appointed to reside at this new settle- ment. A small increase of members is reported from Cra- dockf with other cheering and hopeful ciroumstanoes. In British Kaffraria, Mount Coke has realized to a great extent the advantages which were anticipated from the restoration of peace. A large and commodious building has been erected for the use of the Watson Institution, which has continued in operation through the year j and the former institution premises will henceforth be occupied by the Print- ing Press, which is to be removed from King William's Town. At King William? s Town there is no decrease in the Society, and hopeful signs of a better future present them- selves. The Society's Printing Press is still at work upon the new and revised edition of the New Testament, but 3,000 copies of the Book of Psalms, and 1,000 copies each of Daniel and the First Book of Chronicles, have been com- pleted during the year. At the Clarkebury Station, in Kaffraria Propkr, the work of the Lord continues to prosper. Eighteen persons have this year renounced heathenism and been baptised. There is an average daily attendance of 120 in the School, one half of whom read the Holy Scriptures. — At Shaiobury the congregation is between four and five hundred. The new chapel has been so well filled that a service has been held out of doors. The troublous circumstances of the Bechuana Country have prevented the holding of a District Meeting during the past year, and the Chairman's official visit has also for various causes been postponed. Letters have been received from Messrs. Ludorf and Giddy, which contain intelligence of a painful and trying character, well adapted to call forth the prayerful sympathy of the friends of Missions, NORTH AMERICA. Wp pass by the Missions in Western Africa and the West I niij 20 Indiei, not because they have dirninishca in importance in any degree, but because our information is not sufficiently recent, and more especially on account of the groat import- ance of the affairs of Methodism in British North America. Our friends in Eastern Canada have been made aware that for some years negociations have been proceeding for a change in the ecclesiastical relations of this District, and for a per- manent consolidation of the Methodism of British America. The plans are so far completed in reference to Eastern Canada that the District now constitutes an integral portion of the Canada Conference. As this is most probably the last An- nual Report which will issue separately from the Report of the Canada Conference, it is thought advisable to give the friends of Missions here most of the particulars respecting this Union, by which they may infer the various advantages which are likely to follow, and further that they may be stimulated to exertion for the support of the work of God both by earnest prayer and generous contributions. At the District Meeting of 1852 the following Resolutions were passed, after full consideration :— I.— That after serious and mature deliberation, the members of this meeting are unanimously of opinion, that the tmw has now come, when the interests of Methodism in Eastern Canada, and our position as Ministers of Christ, demand that there should be, if practicable, an immediate union with the Canada Conference. II.— That, with a view to the accomplishment of this object Uie brethren John Jenkins, John Borland, and James Brock, be now appointed as a deputation from the Canada East District, to the forthcoming Canada Conference, proposing such union, and assuring them that the brethren of this District are heartily unani- mous in desiring the consolidation of the Wesleyan Methodism of Canada j and these brethren are hereby instructed to make such preliminary enquiries and arrangements, subject to the approval of the Com- mittee and Conference, with the executive of the Canada Conference, as they may deem desirable.

Suitable resolutions wore passed, acceding to the rcciuest for incorporation. At the last meet- ing of the Ministers of this District the delegation presented their report, which was unanimously adopted, to the eficct that the union contemplated should jniraediately be ratilied, subject to the final decision of the Uriti. h Conference. At the time of our writing we are in possession of intelligence from England respecting the proceedings of the Parent Con- ference. The union of the Canada East District with the Canada Conference was confirmed by an unanimous vote. There exists no doubt respecting the concurrence of our beloved people throughout this District. The subject was brought before them by the late esteemed Chairman the Rev. Wm. Squire, at the time when he visited nearly all the Circuits in the District, and we here insert an extract from the Journal of the District for 1852 : — At a meeting of the Ministers of the District, with a dele- gation of lay gentlemen from the various Circuits of the District, particularly Montreal and Quebec, held in the St. James Street Church, Montreal, May 25th, 1853, it was moved by William Luim, Esq., seconded by Mr. William Blight, and supported by Peter Langlois, Esq., senr. — That this meeting is of opinion that it would be desirable to effect a union of the District with the Canada Conference ; and it is therefore recommended to be carried into operation as soon as practicable. The facts furnished above show the unanimity with which this measure of union has been carried, and it is now most ardently to be desired that Ministers and people will scrip- turally co-operate for the attainment of the largest possible amount of spiritual advantage. In order that the Methodists of Eastern Canada may be further stimulated to exertion for the spread of true religion throughout the country, it is deem- ed advisable to publish some interesting particulars respecting the present condition of the Church under the supervision of the Ministers of the Canada Conference. At its last session held in Belleville, the Rev. Dr. Green was appointed the representative to the British Conference. At a suitable time ;iii' \ ' 'J ^2 Green addressed tlu' Coiilerence at some length, and in a manner most creditable to himself and honorable to the body who deputed him. His speech was full of interesting facts and comparisons, and while they show the blessed fruits of union in Western Canada, they may properly be consid- ered as data from which may be anticipated similar result* for this section of united Canada. It is therefore deemed advisable to quote a portion of the speech delivered by Dr. Green, that all may be able to judge of the greatness of our work, and the absolute need of actual co-operation and Christian zeal. Dr. Green said — « You will rejoice to learn that our Church in Canada is in a state of spiritual prosperity. We are tran- quil, contented, prosperous, and happy. Indeed I feel almost inclined to congratulate myself upon the altered position in which I now appear before you, compared with that under which I visited you eight years ago. Then I came as a messenger of peace, seeking tranquility for our distracted societies in Canada ; now I come as the herald of good tid- ings, to inform you what great and good things God has done for us. Then I came, in connexion with my excellent col- league, to negociate a anion between this Conference and ours. Now I have the happiness to inform you that the principles of the union then agreed upon have been carried into effect, and the result has been all that we could have desired, and much better than wo anticipated. Many diffi- culties were thrown in our way in putting that union into successful operation. There were so many interests to be consulted, so many points of friction to be avoided, and so many prejudices to be overcome, that, at times, our success appeared very problematical. But M^e undertook it in the name of the Lord, and such has been the honorable and liberal spirit in which your committee has carried out these negociations, and such the prudence, ability, and sound judg- ment, with which your principal agent with us has managed our affairs, and such indeed the fidelity observed by all par- ties concerned, that now, nlthough v/e had many to write s-' '^"gtli, and j„ -O'abJe to the o^ interesting » blessed fruita ■}y be consid- imiiar result* »^ore deemed ^ered by j),. ^tness of our >eratiou and "^ur Church J^e are tran- feel almost position in *bat Under came as a distracted ' good tid- ^ iias done «Went col- ■ence and that the n carried "W have *ny diffi. 'ion into Its to be > and so success in the )]e and ' th^se I judg- tnaged 1 par- write I i 23 and apeak against it, I do not know a solitary individual amongst us who would go back to our former state of things on any consideration. A brief contrast of our position seven years ago, when that union was finally consummatsd, with our present state, will suffice to illustrate what I mean. Seven years ago we had six W^ leyan Districts in Upper Canada ; now we have 13. Then we had 98 Circuits and Missions ; now we have 163. Then we had 180 Ministers and Preachers in our field ; now we have 222 in Western Canada^alone, and work prepared for thirty more as soon ai suitable young men can be obtained. Seven years ago we had 21,750 church members ; now we have 32,364, being an increase of nearly fifty per cent, during that short period of time. Then our own people gave us about three thousand pounds Missionary money, but this year they have laid upon God's table more than jB7,300 for that blessed object ; and I believe the other departments and institutions of the church are in an equally healthy state. Our Chapel Relief and Contingent Funds are fashioned very much after your own, and are beginning to tell upon the interests of our Connexion. By the latter we are able, not only to equalize the labor on the Circuits, but to afibrd very considerable pecuniary relief to the poorer portions of our work, where the people are not able to meet all the expenses incurred by a regularly estab- lished ministry of God's Word amongst them. By the good hand of God upon us, we have been able to meet all the claims of our venerable Superannuated Ministers, and the Widows and Orphans of those who have died in the work. The source whence this revenue is derived is threefold. First, the one half of our Centenary subscriptions were vested for that purpose, and the interest is paid over to the Trea- surer. Secondly, each Minister and Preacher amongst us gives one pound per annum ; and then, thirdly, the Superin- tendents, assisted by their colleagues, like yourselves, apply to the Classes for the same object. From these sources the Treasurer derives a revenue more than equal to the claims against him. Our Annuitant Fund is a kind of Joint Stock i I 24 affair among ourselves, on the principle ol" reversionary pay- ments. It is designed to afford relief to our Superannuated men, over and above any claims they may have upon our regular Invalid Fund. From these two sources, any Minister who travels thirty years may provide himself with a retiring pension of ^675 per annum. In Education we are doing too little. We have one College, founded and governed by the Church. Our address has informed you that the pupils in that College have recently been increased to 150, and we have a fair prospect of doubling that number at no very dis- tant period. We have been exceedingly fortunate in secur- ing a valuable man as its Principal, (Rev. Mr. Nelles,) who is very popular with the students, and is likely to prove a great blessing to the educational interests of the country. Our Missionary field is ample and interesting. We have fourteen l Nations among the aboriginal Indian tribes of that country, and two industrial schools, where the Indian youth, gathered from the scattered tribes, are taught the elements of a sound English education, as well as the principles of agriculture and mechanism. In a new country like ours, we must necessarily keep up a great number of Domestic Missions, partly supported by themselves, and partly by the Mission Fund. The vast flood of emigration, constantly flowing from the old world towards the new, renders this necessary. The more enterprising part of these emigrants go back into the woods, where they cut down the trees and contend with the embarrassments of forest life until they turn a « barren wilderness into a fruitful field." These are mostly poor, and the poor must have the Gospel preached to them. It has been our ambitioii from the first to follow the wanderers in the woods ; to preach, eat and sleep in their log cabins ; and thus make the sound of the Gospel keep pace with the sound of the woodman's axe. God has greatly blessed us in this work, and many fields that were once Missions are now wealthy Circuits, contributing liberally towards sending the Gospel towards the « regions beyond." It has occurred to me while referring to these facts, that reversionary pay. f Siiperanniiated ^ have upon our ces, any Minister ^ with a retiring ve are doing too overned by the ^ the pupiJs i„ to 150, and we at no very dis- "nate in secur- • Nelles,) who 5^y to prove a ^ the country.

'4 'i % 26 some of my brethren may have discovered something like an antagonism between these statements, and the report which a celebrated Scotch divine, who recently visited Canada, made on his return to Scotland — 1 allude to that admirable and excellent Minister the Rev. Dr. Duflf. He visited some five or six of our principal towns, returned to Scotland, said many good things about us, and concluded by saying that Upper Canada was nearly Presbyterian ! Well, Sir, this was news to me. What are the facts of the case 1 Let us examine. Two years ago a religious census was taken of Western Canada, and published by our Government. In those returns I find it stated that the adherents to the Church of England were 223,190 ; to Methodism 207,495 j to Presbyterian ism 204',14<8. Then there were 45,353 Bap- tists ; 12,089 Lutherans ; 167,495 Fi-oman Catholics ; and the remainder belonged to other creeds not mentioned. At that time there were 952,094 inhabitants in Upper Canada. Now wo have more than one million. I do not make these state- ments by way of invidious comparison, but to give this Con- ference as full and truthful a view as possible of the religious element of our country. But hitherto I have confined my remarks to Upper Canada, you will expect me to say some- thing of Lower Canada and the Hudson's Bay Territory. You are aware that the two Provinces, Upper and Lower Canada, are united politically, and it was deemed desirable and suitable to unite them Methodistically. Accordingly, a year ago last May, your Missionaries of Eastern Canada, in their District Meeting assembled, unanimously resolved to seek admission into our Conference. The terms were agreed upon, and we as cordially and unanimously accepted their proposals. This year the Reverend the President of our Conference, did me the honor, as well as the Secretary of Conference, to invite us to accompany him to Montreal to attend the Eastern Canada District Meeting. Again the question was brought before them, and they re-affirmed their former decisions ; and the laymen in Montreal, at a meeting called for the purpose, most cordially and cheerfully approved ! I ill iliiiii I I 26 of the measure. At our late Conference lield in Belleville, the whole question was re-considered and the principles re- affirmed. All parties concerned in the measure, with us, have therefore cordially agreed to the union ; und nothing is now wanting but the final vote of this Conference to com- plete the whole arrangements by which the Wesleyan Socie- ties will be united and consolidated throughout that entire Province. But we stop not here. Your excellent and ever watchful Committee in London have requested us to take charge of their Missions in the Hudson's Bay Territory ; supposing and believing, that our contiguity to that far-oflf and inhospitable region, as well as the appliances which we possess for prosecuting the work there, render such a transfer desirable. We have consented to undertake this arduous duty, and one of our senior Ministers has gone out there to survey the work, ascertain the state of afiairs, and see what is necessary for the efficient occupancy of that rugged field. Three excellent Missionaries, well qualified for that work, have been selected to accompany him, and while I am now speaking to you they are on their way to that dark and vast region of sacrifice and toil. By these arrangements you will at once perceive that we have a very large and interesting field presented for Missionary enterprise and usefulness ; a field extending from the Atlantic in the east to the Pacific in the west, and from our vast lakes in the south to the Arc- tic Ocean in the north. Yes, sirs, we have now a tract of country legitimately opened up to our Conference equal in geographical extent to all Europe apart from Russia. (Cries of " that's right, put Russia out of Europe.") Yes, I have no objection. Russia ought, perhaps, to be put out of Europe. You will perceive, then, Mr .President, (continued the Dr.) that we have room enough for the full exercise of all our energies, and a field sufficiently ample and interesting to call out all our resources ; and by the help of our God and your prayers and assistance, we are determined to occupy it until our Master shall dismiss us from the warfare. I have been not 4 little amused since I came to this country, in conversation in BeJleviile, >rinciples re- 're, with us, "^tl nothing is nee to com- leyaii Socio- that entire nt and ever "s to take Territory ,• that iar-off which we » a transfer ^is arduous »t there to ' see what &ged field. hat work, 1 am now ^ and vast s you will iteresting Lilness,' a e Pacific tile Arc- tract of equal in (Cries have no Europe. *r.)that lergieas, out all layers til our m not sation 27 with several gentlemen, to learn that they look upon British America as a mere fringing or fragmentary selvaging of the vast Republic of that Continent ! Sir, such gentlemen oaght to know that Her Majesty, our beloved Sovereign, Queen Victoria — God bless her — (applause) — that Her Majesty pos- sesses a tract of country in North America, not only equal in geographical extent to the entire United States, but larger by 730,000 square miles than all that great Republic with their territories annexed. Nay more, she possesses a terri- tory there larger by 292,000 square miles than all Europe put together, with your numerous families of kingdoms and empires, and your forest of crowned heads. But I am occu- pying too much of your precious time. (Cries of « Go on, go on.") Well, if I am permitted to go on, permit me to say that we are exceedingly anxious to become self-support- ing in Canada. We are that now in reality in Upper Ca- nada, and, from the spirit that seems to pervade our brethren in Montreal and other parts, I entertain hopes that we shall soon be so throughout the entire province. You have a great work to perform in heathen lands. We have looked upon your work there with deep interest and admiration ; and we feel that, just in proportion as we can remove bur- dens from you in America, we are contributing to aid you in other lands ; in this way we feel that we may have some part in your great and glorious work in the East, and other parts of the world." It is scarcely necessary to say that the remarks of the Reverend Representative from Canada produced a mo$t encouraging and cheerlul tone of Christian feeling. In Lower Canada let earnest prayer he made that the reviving influences of the Holy Spirit may descend upon our Zion. A large part of our work requires more ministeria: aid. In order to secure it let our people resolve on increasing liber- ality. " The God of heaven, he will prosper us ; therefore we his servants will arise and build." With difficulties and impediments we may have to contend, but while Methodism retains its doctrinal purity and disciplinary excellence, it has "fii ^ 'iiilii iillMi I -i lit vm 28 nothing to fear. "Oui union," — says Dr. Dixon, in his invahiable treatise, on Methodism, — " Our union is probably more complete than that of any community of Christians ; and the true doctrine of the new Testament has, we believe, been embodied in onr practice. — Once in the week or Oftener, it is expected that every Methodist in the world will meet with others, his brethren in the Lord, for the purpose of enjoying the communion of saints. This is not formal. The joys and sorrows of the heart are laid open ; the deal- ings and ways of God are made known ; the progress of the Spirit's work in the soul is unfolded ; the temptations and exercises of the life of faith are detailed ; the divine affec- tions are quickened and refined by the exercises of praise and worship ; and the whole is sanctified by fervent and united prayer. Religion is one, all over the world, when it is divine : — the gift of " one God, and Father of all" ; the effect of the one sacrifice of the Son of God ; the fruit of one Spirit's operation ; the grace obtained by the * one frith* : and it is identical in all its characteristics. Hence as our people are called with the same calling, they speak the same language in every place. Were it rossible to assemble the whole Methodist community, heart would meet heart in sympathy and love, would join in the same confession of fieiith, and blend their sacred joys in one harmonious song of praise. All this is deemed (in some quarters) extremely objectionable ; tending to make hypocrites, produce spiritual pride, and nurture enthusiasm. The question is as to the practice beiug in conformity with the teaching and example of the primitive church. Being satisfied of this, we can endure the scoffs of the world, and the objections of doubting and lukewarm Christians. We hold the faith of Christ as revealed in the divine records, and we bui'd the communion of saints on the experimental profession of this faith ; and judge that in this we have the first and primary note of a true Church of Christ." The constitutional Methodism of Canada being now and henceforth officially one, let all strive to keep the " unity of I '•Dixon, in ,,^3 yon IS probably yo^ Christians ; ^ ^as, we beJieve ^eek or oftener ' 7W will meet *^e purpose of ^« not formal.
