'J iii SECOND REPORT, «*. The Committee of the Upper Canada C'lergy Society in submitting to their Subscribers, and to the public in general, their second Annual Report, desire first to offer their unfeigned thanks to the giver of every good and perfect gift, for that measure of success with which he has been pleased to bless the labours of their Mission- aries, as well as for the increasing interest which the Mother Country has manifested, in the temporal and spiritual welfare of their countrymen in Upper Canada, who are placed in such peculiar and trying circum- stances. They beg to refer to their first Report for an expo- sition of the principles of the Society, and for a detail of its proceedings up to June 1838, and they would now solicit attention to what has subsequently taken place, principally under the following heads. Missionaries. Two additional Missionaries have been appointed during the past year — making with three previously sent out, five : — 1st. Rev. H. O'Neill, 2nd. — F. L. Osier, 3rd. — F. A. O'Meara, 4th. — B. C. Hill, 5th. — W. Morse, I. The Rev. H. O'Neill, has been employed during the past year as travelling Missionary in the Newcastle, Gore, Talbot, anv. London districts, for the particulars of whose labours, they refer to the extracts from his journal, which will be found appended to the present Report. Circumstances have rendered his return to Entrland tor a short peric 1 iiocessary : but us a compoii- satioii for his absence from the scene of his labours, the Committee look forward to obtainini^ from him whilst here, information of ^reat interest and value, and liis presence in this country will, they trust, prove one of the means under God, of exciting amongst Christians at home who enjoy peace, and the ordinances of relitrion a lively sympathy for their fellow Christians, who arc now suffering under the deprivation of those blessings. II. Rev. F. L. Osier. The friends of the Society are aware that Mr. Osier, the second Missionary sent out, has been zealously lal)ouring in his Master's cause for the last two years as the resident Minister, in the town- ships of Tecumscth and M'^est Guillembury — perhaps few Missionaries have had severer hardships to endure than Mr. Osier. The Committee trust that having now exchanged a miserable log hut for a comparatively comfortable parsonage house, both he and Mrs. O. will be permitted to enjoy those domestic comforts of which they have been so long deprived. The six schools which were established by him, continued to prosper until the late rebellious outbreak, when they suffered a diminution of numbers, in consequence of the unsettled state of the country, which has made it necessary for the children to be kept at home while their fathers have been serving as volunteers. There can be little doubt however that, when tranquillity is restored the settlers will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of again sending their children to the schools : about 200 children attend the Sunday Schools. The Committee would here thankfully acknowledge the grants of books and tracts, which have been made by the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Christian Knowledge, Religious Tract, Trinitarian Bible, Sunday School Union and Book Societies, and also those fur- nished by the kindness of individuals, and they feel particularly gratified by the interest which has been excited by the letters of Mr. Osier, amongst his private friends. More than one supply of books for his schools, and considerable sums of money sent to him for the 10 building of a Chapel of Ease and of a school, have been amongst the results. The Committee, at the pressing instance of Mr. Osier, who with his utmost exertions is unable to meet the numerous calls which press upon him, have appointed a catechist to assist him. III. Journals have been received from the third Missionary sent out by the Society, the Rev. F. A. O'Meara, of a satisfactory character. He reached To- ronto March 29, 1838, and was appointed by the Bishop as travelling Missionary, to the Home District, which extends from the northern shore of Lake Ontario to Lake Huron, and is about 130 miles in length, and 60 in breadth. He was admitted to priest's orders on the 9th September. At the particular request of his Diocesan and of the Lieutenant Governor Sir George Arthur, himself, and Mr. O'Neill proceeded to Mani- toulin Island, on the northern shore of Lake Huron, for the purpose of being present at the annual distri- bution of the gifts made by government, to the Indian tribes. They availed themselves of the opportunity during their short stay to preach the Gospel to them through the medium of an interpreter. In consequence of a Report made by these Gentlemen to the Bishop, the Rev. Mr. Brough, (not a Missionary of this Society) was appointed by his Lordship to labour amongst the Indians who sojourn there. Subsequently the Bishop thought it desirable to remove Mr. O'Meara from the Home District, in order that he might un- dertake the Mission of Sault St. Marie, a tract of coun- try, between Lake Huron ar.d Lake Superior, where a large body of Indians are settled ; although this was a deviation from the original intention of the Committee with regard to Mr. O'Meara, yet respect for the Bishop, with whom they are in communication on the subject, have made them acquiesce for the present in this ap- pointment. He arrived there after a tedious voyage through the lakes, the 6th October last, si ice which period the Committee are happy to learn that he has made some progress in the Indian language, and has already translated a portion of the Liturgy. 11 IV. The Society's fourth Missionary, the Rev. B. C. Hill, Scholar of Trinity College, Dublin, had been for some time zealously labouring at Bandon in Ireland, before he entered into the service of the Society. He sailed from Bristol 8th September, 1838, and reached Toronto 29th same month. On his arrival the Bishop directed him to proceed to the Grand River tract in the Niagara district. He had the advantage of being in- troduced by the Rev. H. O'Neill to the leading inha- bitants of the tract, which consists of five principal places. Mr. Hill however does not confine his minis- trations to those particular places, but seeks opportu- nities of usefulness throughout the surrounding country, even as far as the mouth of the Grand River, and the Committee have every reason to believe that his labours have been much blessed. V. The Rev. W. Morse was for many years connected with the Church Missionary Society, but having suffered in his health from the effects of hot climates, was under the necessity of relinquishing his engagements to that Society. The Committee received highly satisfactory testimonials respecting him from the Church Missionary Society, and the climate of Upper Canada not being likely to prove prejudicial, they entered into an engage- ment with him, and, with the approbation of the Bishop of Montreal appointed him to undertake the duties of the pastoral office at Paris in the Gore district, some of the inhabitants of this place had urged the claims of a large and growing population, to the privileges of a settled ministry, and had stated their willingness to un- dertake in part the payment of a minister, which was a principal reason for locating him there. Mr. Morse embarked 14th October 1838, reached New York, 11th, December, and arrived at the place of his destination 21st January, 1839. The Committee are glad to find that though Mr. Morse had both a tedious voyage, and afterwards a lengthened journey, during the depth of a Canadian winter, his health did not suffer, and since his arrival in Upper Canada, it has been completely rostored. It affords the Committee much plcayurc to state that the operations of the Society, and the proceedings of its Missionaries have received *he unqualified approbation of the Bishop of Montreal, as will be evident from the following extract, from one of his Lordship's letters to the Secretary. " Near Quebec, I8th Dec. 1838. " I am not insensible, be assured, of the obligations of this Diocese, under Divine Providence, to the Upper Canada Clergy Society. The visitation of Upper Canada from which I returned about a month ago, has given me the opportunity of witnessing the labours of some of the Missionaries, and of becoming acquainted with others whom I had not before seen. Among these last is Mr. O'Neill, an invaluable man, who IV I bless God for having in the Diocese, Mr. Osier whom I had ordained Priest in Quebec upon his arrival, is also in his sphere an indefatigable and successful labourer in the cause. Mr. O'Meara whom I first saw in Upper Canada, and whom I ordained Priest for the Sault St. Marie Mission, passed a most creditable examination, and appeared deeply interested in the important and arduous charge which he has undertaken. Mr. Hill had scarcely entered upon his labours, but if it please God to bless them I have little fear of their being un- fruitful, from any deficiency of zeal in the instrument. Your letter respecting Mr. Morse, I received a month ago, and sent immediately to the Archdeacon of York at Toronto, and to Mrs. Dickson at Paris, to inform them respectively of my concurrence in the proposal of the So- ciety, that Mr. Morse should be stationed at the latter place. I met Mr. O'Neill by appointment at Paris, in September, and found the heads of the congregation assembled, a most respectable set of people, and actuated apparently by a sincere and earnest desire for the supply of their spiritual wants." They are also happy to state, that the Lieutenant- Governor Sir George Arthur has expressed much inter- est in the proceedings of the Society, and has become a liberal contributor to its funds. Before concluding this part of the subject, the Com- mittee wish to record their best thanks to the Rev. Henry J. Grasett, B.A., Assistant Minister of St. James's, Toronto, for kindly undertaking to be their corresponding agent at that place, and for the efficient aid which he has been already the means of rendering to their Mis- sionaries. Secretary. The Committee have found it expedient, for the more 13 efficient dispatch of the now increasing business of the Society, to appoint in the place of a lay, a clerical Secre- tary : they are happy to inform their friends that they have secured the services of the Rev. Septimus Ramsey, M.A., Minister of St. Michael's, Burleigh Street, Strand, who has performed, with much zeal, the duties of the office, at a moderate salary ; and has already by his appeals, made from various pulpits, proved of essential service to the cause. The Committee, however, cannot part with their late Secretary, Mr. Francken, without bearing testimony to his assiduous labours, and constant anxiety to promote the best interests of the Society. Associations. The following Associations have been visited by the Secretary :— Cheltenham, Huntingdon, Godmanchester, and Cambridge. The Committee would also name Dublin, Bandon, Sheffield, Oxford, and Leamington, as places where the objects they have in view have been furthered. They avail themselves of the present opportunity to offer their sincere thanks to their friends at these places, for their assistance in this work and labour of love. Method of Payment. In illustration of the plan which the Committee have adopted in the payment of their Missionaries, it may be mentioned, that two are engaged as travelling Mission- aries, and receive a certain stated salary. The others are paid upon a graduated scale, terminating in five years. The Committee are of opinion, that there is an important distinction to be observed in the sending of Missionaries to the heathen, and to our own countrymen : these, though distant from the home of their youth, still remember the blessed effects of Christianity in their native land ; whereas, in the former case, it is not to be expected, until the Word has taken deep root, that those under tuition should feel even a wish to contribute to the support of their teachers ; — in the latter it has been felt that it is not only right they should, but that it is well to encourage this feeling, by giving a preference to 14 those places» (of course with the approhatioii of tlio Bishop,) where such help is afforded. It is obvious that the plan of paying Missionaries on the graduated scale adopted by the Society can only be tested by experience. But they are inclined to think it will succeed, as in this country, better in towns than in country districts. If it does, the advantages are evident, since it will enable the Committee to send out a greater number of clergymen j and as the country increases in population, there is a still greater certainty of their being supported. In Conclusion, the Committee beg to state that the founders of the Upper Canada Clergy Society, originally contemplated sending out schoolmasters as well as clergymen ; but the experience which has been gained establishes clearly the fact, that whereas schools do not give rise to the ministry of the Word, the location of a clergyman immediately leads to the foundation of schools. The labours of the Rev. H. O'Neill have already brought under the knowledge of the Comnuttee numbers of places where, there being an absolute famine of the Word of God, the young have been growing up without scriptural education, whilst the old have been living without God in the world : but no sooner has a clergy- man been located amongst a population thus neglected, than a cheering change has taken place, and not only amongst the well-disposed has an interest for heavenly things been excited, but the hitherto careless and har- dened have been prevailed on to adopt habits of regular attendance on public worship. ^ ^ The Committee are therefore most anxious, and will of course use their best endeavours to send out persons properly qualified to act as missionaries in Upper Canada. To achieve this important object, the Society must de- pend, under the divine blessing, on the active exertions of those who have been led to feel for the spiritual ne- cessities of others. At the same time they desire to bring under the notice of their subscribers the difficulty tho oil be it in snt, iter in iiig 15 which they have experienced in finding men both quali- fied for, and willing to enter upon, a missionary life in Upper Canada j a difficulty, moreover, augmented by the demand to supply the newly-built churches at home, and the missio is in our other colonies. Yet such are the strong and peculiar claims which Upper Canada has upon the sympathy of Great Britain, that the Committee cannot but entertain an earnest hope, not only that an increase of funds will be forthcoming, but that, when the wants of, and benefits resulting from, the Society become more fully known and appreciated, a sufficient number of suitable clergymen will offer themselves. They, therefore, beg to urge on those training up for the pastoral office to come forward heartily to take part in the labours of their brethren in Upper Canada, as pas- tors devoted to God, who will feed his flock not by con- straint, but willingly, not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. " The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers " are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, " that He may send forth more labourers into his har- " vest." U-l U) EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNALS OF THE REV. H. O'NEILL, Frmn April 1st, 1838, to July i6th, 1838. The following letter contains a brief account of my missionary proceedings, in parts of the Home, Newcastle. Gore, Talbot, and London Districts, for a period of four months, commencing 10th March, and ending 16th July: — THE HOME DISTRICT, According to the last public returns, contains a population of 51,764 inhabitants, exclusive of the City of Toronto, the census of which, taken in the same year, (I83(») was 9,652; making, in all, upwards of 60,000 souls, in the District, for whose spiritual instruction there are just seven resident clergymen, three of whom flx their abode in the City, and one of those three, from his engagements in Upper Canada College, is precluded from parochial duty, so that there are only six clergymen of the Establishment in the District, that is to say one clergyman to every 10,000 souls. GORE DISTRICT. On Friday, I proceeded on my way to the west, stopping on the Sabbath (Sun- day, 29th April) in the village of Wellington Square, Township of Nelson, where I preached in the morning, in the Church, which is still unprovided with a clergy- man ; and in the afternoon, in tlie Methodist Meeting House in the country, six miles distant from the village. Near to this Meeting House, Mr. John Wetfenhale, a Graduate of Cambridge, has for the last year uniformly assembled the people of our Church every Siibbath, for reading tlie liturgy and a sermon, which practice has been attended with very good effects. Before I took my leave, it was arranged that a church shall be built near the spot where the little congregation assemble, the expense of which is to be borne by three respectable landowners, one of whom is Mr. Wettenhale. I have since heard the report that the Rev. Mr. Green, the missionary sent to this province by the Rev. Mr. Waddilove, is expected from the London District to reside as permanent missionary in Wellington Square, a mea- sure which gives much pleasure to the farmers, who promise cheerfully to contribute towards his support Sund'iy, Gth M. y. — Township of Dumfries, village of Paris, on the Grand River, forty miles from Wellington Square. — I preached this day to a large congre- gation in Paris. The Sunday School has been conducted by Mrs. Dickson with great success ; sixty-one children attended, and I had the gratification to hear that her letters to her friends in Scotland, on the state of religion in the province in her neighbourhood, have been the means of exciting attention in that quarter. The sum of £200 will be collected (of which £130 is already lodged in the Bank of Edinburgh) for the purpose of building an Episcopal Church, at Paris, Upper Canada. The village of Scotland, in the Township of Oakland, was last winter the head quarters of the rebel Dr. Duncombe, and the place where the Rev. Mr. Evans was kept prisoner on bread and water, when he went to expostulate wi*^*i the deluded rebels who were in arms against their country. One circumstance appeared worthy of note, as it shews the superiority of decided principles over half convictions. Fanner H. is an American by birth, of Dutch descent. In his youth, he crossed over to Canada, and settled iu the Township of Barton, and there, as well as in the United States, attended for a while the public preaching of the various teachers who infest this Continent (the Province of Upper Canada is now reaping the bitter fruits of the seed tliey have sown). Being of a thoughtful turn of mind, 17 he did not fail to observe that, though the several Hi'cts appeared to agree iit enforcing upon their hearers the necessity of " getting religion," yet when they entered into a particular detail of what that was, a wide and essential difference became strikingly manifest ; the unhappy contradictions and divisions of nomi- nal Christians have been in many instances the immediate cause of total infidelity in the shape of Unitarianism or Universalism. Providentially tuey, under the divine blessing, were overruled for good to Farmer H. ; they made him search the scrip- tures with an humble and sincere desire to obtain right knowledge; he also care- fully perused Mosheim'a Church History, and every book on that subject that came within his means. The effect of all this reading and examination upon an ingenuous mind may be easily imagined. A strong conviction of the superior claims of the Church of England took possession of lain, nor was he slow in con- forming with all his family to its reasonable and scriptural requirements. Our late Bishop knew him well, and took pleasure in conversing with him. He has for many years enjoyed the confidence and respect of all that know him, and " he commanded his house and his children after him to do judgment, and to keep the way of the Lord." It was to this point my attention was drawn. Four of his children settled with their husbands and families in this (Burford) township ; and here became apparent the good of the sound principles in which they were brought up. Wliatever their neighbours were pleased to do, they and their households served the Lord. Not suffering their children to judge for themselves, according to the established custom in the woods, they carried them to be baptized by clergy- men of the Church of England, at the distance of twenty and sometimes forty miles ! they taught, as soon as their children were able to learn, the solsmn vow, promise, and profession which they had made; and these families, thus instructed what " God did in their father's days, and in the old time beRere them," during the late rebellion, when " all around were faitldess, they were faithful found." No threats or persuasions were able to shake their loyalty and attachment to the Queen, and to the Church. On the night in last December, when the news spread that the Rev. Mr. Evans (who had often preached to them, and baptized their children) was taken prisoner by the rebels, and detained in their camp in the village of Scotland, within half a mile of their house, one of H.'s daughters, at family prayer with her children, read in the Acts of the Apostles the account of the Apostle Peter's release from prison, and the p-ayer for her absent husband's preservation, and for Mr. Evans's escape, was scarcely uttered, when the latter stood at the door, the camp of the rebels being just broken up, and all the prisoners being urged to depart on tlie approach of Colonel, now Sir Allan Macnab's militia and volunteers. How different the case of another old man in the village of Scotland. By his own account, he possessed in his youth the highest privileges ; he had resided in London, and prided himself in having been a hearer of celebrated prcac'iers, John Newton, Romaine, Cecil, Scott, and Leigh Richmond in his time; but along with the evangelical principles received from these good men, he did not join respect for Church Establishments ; in his endeavours not to be bigoted, he lost all fixed principle. Poor man, his children followed his example, becoming Baptists, Independents, and Presbyterians, by turns, and from being schismatics they became rebels ; his eldest son is lodged in Hamilton jail, and report says that his father is implicated in his ton's guilt. EXTRACTS FROM MR. OSLER'S JOURNALS. From April 6, 1838, to October G, 1838. Whilst riding through Bond Head, I observed a man who appeared to wish to speak with me, I therefore stopped and addressed him. He told me that if I would allow him he was very anxious for a little conversation, that he was a Roman Catholic, and wished to know my opinion of that religion, he seemed to be in doubt respecting the truth of some of its tenets, whilst the prejudices of education made him unwilling to entertain doubts. When I told him in answer to his enquiries that the mass and extreme unction were of no avail, that the priest had not power to convert bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Christ, — He seemed deeply affected, and more than once said, " Remember, Sir, God sees and hears us," as it entreating to be told the truth. I directed him to tlie only mediator between c 18 Ood and man, and left lihn apparently very much impressed with what I had said to iiim. Sunday 15th, Easter day. — Preached in Tecumseth Church to I think the lari^est congregation that ever assembled in it. — Administered the Holy Sacrament to about twenty five persons. — After taking a little refreshment proceeded to Bond Head, where I preached in the old school house to about thirty persons. Monday morning at three o'clock was culled up to visit a poor woman who was dangerously ill : she resided six miles north of iiiy abode, and not being ablo to pro- cure my own horse at that early hour mounted an unshod colt, and proceeded at once to the poor woman's house, where, I arrived a little after daylight, my limbs aching with the cold: found Mrs. B, very low, and as she said, unprepared for the great change which seemed near at hand ; remained some time talking, reading, and praying with her: promised (D. V.) to visit her again, if alive on Wed- nesday: after leaving Mrs. B. visited Messrs. M.,J. W., M., B., R., and W. B., reached home at night. Tuesday morning early set out for Mr. Richey's house in Inisfll j the weather was very cold and boisterous j soon after leaving liome, rain mixed with hail poured down heavily, which froze as it fell; I was soon covered with a sheet i f ice, whilst icicles adorned my cap hanging down over my face, which would form afresh as fast as 1 could break them off; this was the worst weather I had ever been ex])08ed to. After crossing the swamp, stopped at the house of Mr. P. sen., both to visit his son, who was ill, and to have tlie ice broken off my clothes. After warming myself, pro- ceeded to Mr. Richey's, a good old man acting as my guide : the road wasi so bad that I feared to ride my horse, lest with my additional weight he should sink so deep into some of the holes as to be smothered. In the evening, cold and weary, we reached Mr. Richey's house, where the people were anxiously expecting me. Mar- ried a couple, and performed Divine Service. The rain and hail still continuing to pour down heavily, the people were unable to leave the house, and a large tire being made up, they sat by it all night : at a late hour a kind of pallet was prepared for me, on which I lay down till morning, when I started for home, visiting John Perry and Mrs. Bell, both of whom were very ill, on my way, and truly thankful was I to see my hut again in the afternoon, feeling thoroughly weary. Tuesday crossed the swamp and preached in Perry's school house, to an over- flowing congregation on the nature and design of the Lord's Supper. Afterwards administered the Holy Sacrament, Mr. O'Meara assisting me ; many appeared to be deeply affected ; the Sacrament had, I believe, never been administered there before. One old man, on the verge of eighty, declared it was the happiest day he had spent in his life. I have good reason to hope that the Lord has blessed my ministry to him. " Oh, Sir," said he, " what a mercy to such a poor old sinner as I am, that God should have sent you among us ; what would have become of me, if I had been cut off before you came." Ou my telling him that I purposed, D.V, preaching and administering the sacrament at a place five miles distance from his residence, " I'll follow you Sir, God helping me, so long as I can crawl." A more solemn, and I trust, profitable day, I have not spent in Canada. Sunday, 10th June, 1838. — The weather was oppressively hot, and the constant fatigue I had for some time past, I felt to be almost too much, but when the house is finished I look for a little rest. Now I constantly rise on the Sunday morning with a feeling of great weariness, and having no boy, (for I have no place he could sleep in) am compelled to leave houie early to get my horse, often to chase him round the field before I can catch him, ride some miles to church under a scorching sun, speak for two hours and a half with scarcely a minute's rest ; return home in the heat of the day, and after taking a little refreshment, and feeding my horse, ride to Bond Head, preach there, and after service, if I am not called on to visit some sick people, again mount my horse and take him to the stable, and, alter taking care of him, walk home. Never, during ten years active service at sea, did I endure so much fatigue as I have had to undergo since coming here ; but I feel that it is in the service of a good Master, and therefore cannot repine. ly lid ,B., and I feel Early on tlie Friday morning we again mounted our horses, and forced our way to Bolton's Mills, four miles further. Here a granary was fitted up witli seatH. Whilst waitinar for the people to assemble, many having to come from a considerable distance, an old man named Pringle accosted me : after some conversation he ob- served, " I was always brought up a MoiidK>r of tlie Church of England, and hope to die a Member of the Church. Twenty years I have been in this country, and but five timesduring that period have I seen the face of a Minister.'' The reflcetion that he was thus deprived of the means of grace seemed to overpower him, for he covered his face with both his hands and turned away to conceal the tears which trickled down his furrowed cheeks. I told him that he still had his Bible, and that God was to be found even in the wilderness. " I know it. Sir, I know it," he replied, " and I well know that having the name of being a Member of the Church will not save me ; but we want a minister to guide and direct us, we want God's word preached to us." I deeply felt for the old man, and, indeed, for the destitute state of Canada ; for hundreds, nay thousands, like him mourn over and long for the blessings of the Gospel which they once enjoyed in their native land. At eleven, I preached to a crowded congregation, on Christ crucified ; the people were very attentive. Before the sermon I baptised fifteen children. They were grateful for my visit, though disappointed tliat I conld not remain longer with them. I found there was a lot of land set apart in this Township (Albion) for a glebe, and many would willingly subscribe towards the erection of a Church. Should no one else attempt it in the mean while, I think, should I be spared to get things settled here, I shall endeavour, D.V., to do something there. Tuesday, crossed the swamp, and preached in Perry's school house to a good congregation. The poor people are very grateful for my visits, and for my attention to their children. It may literally be said of them, silver and gold they have none, but the best they can procure is always provided against I come ; and 1 am often beset with them sometimes a mile before reaching the school house, to stop and take refreshment at their cabins. Monday felt very unwell, and on Tuesday little better. Having no one to send across the swamp, and fearing lest the people would be kept long from their harvest by waiting for lae, mounted my horse, and with pain and difficulty reached Thomson's house, and the Lord gave me strength to preach to a much larger congre- gation than I could have expected. In sickness the mind becomes more sobered, more awake to the interests of the soul ; things temporal lose their apparent value, whilst things eternal appear in truer colours, at least I felt it so, and my hearers appeared to do so too ; and when I observed the silent tear trickle down the cheeks of several, the hope that the Holy Spirit might be pleased to fasten the w^rd spoken upon the soul of some one present, caused me for the time to forget every bodily pain. Thursday, rode a considerable distance to endeavour to obtain brick to finish the chimneys of the Parsonage house, but was unsuccessful, and had only been home a few minutes in the evening when a messenger came to me from Loyd Town, stating that an aged man there was apparently dying, and anxious to see me. At first I hesitated as to whether it was my duty to ride nine miles, partly through the woods, in a dark night, by a road I had never travelled before, it being very dan- gerous to go into the woods at night, but conscience told me to go ; so I went, and arrived safely. I found Mr. W. insensible, his disease being in the brain. After some time I roused his attention, told him that I was the clergyman, and asked if he wished me to speak to him. He motioned bis assent. I then said, " Mr. W. you are very ill, probably dying, are you prepared to die?" He in- distinctly uttered, " Not very well," and again relapsed into his former state of insensibility. It was an awful eight. An aged sinner dying without hope, and though the soul still lingered in the body, every avenue to it was closed. I could only pray that the Lord, whose mercy is boundless, might snatch him as a brand from the burning. Having learnt that he was occasionally sensible, I determined on remaining with him during the night. At daylight next morning my hopes were accomi>lished ; he then became perfectly sensible. He was very ignorant, and seemed eager for instruction. I explained to him the way of salvation, en- deavouring to express as much as possible in few words, and having supplied the attendants with tracts, and pointed out the parts of scripture I wished to be read 20 to the sic'k mnn, T coinniltfod liim Into the hiinds of Ood, prohahly never more to ini'fft till ritlHud Ity tlio Arfliaii^i'l's triitiip. Thu i)oor iiiun gruHpod my hand with u kind of coiivulHlvf cncr^^y, and looked a farewell which he could not Hpenk. Friday, thirty younf< people took tea with us, twenty-four of whom were Mrs. Osier's HcholurH, four were ubHcnt, twenty-elKht youn^ females in all havin)^ availed themselves of Mrs. Osier's instructions, which are (fiven to any who choose to attend on Tuesdays and Fridays. It was quite a treat to tiic young people, such as they never had beforo, and 1 trust will prove a stimulus to them, not only to im- prove in needle work, but to pay more heed to the reli(^ privilo;)ove all, for his inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace and for the hope of glory. Could parents in Kiiglaiid, wlio value the privilege of being enabled to lead their little ones at the souiitl oftlie cliun^li-going bell to the house of God everi/ Sabbath, to hear the word of life from tlie lips of u beloved pastor, and to ble:<8 God, not for un occasional mean of grace, but for ii constant ministry of his word, — but behold tliis sight, surely it would move them to throw out of the abundance which God has committed in trust to tliem, somewhat to promote the establishment of regular Gospel preaching in this sjiirit- ually destitute colony. In taking a review of the labours of the past (piarter, I feel grateful to the Father of mercies, who has counted me worthy, putting me into tlie ministry, tliat be has caused my lot to be cast in this country. Doubtless many and great are the ditli- culties which an ambassador of Christ has to encounter here, and perhaps the greatest of these is the want of christian communion. But what are ail the.se, yea und many more, when weighed pgainst the glorious privilege of being the bearer of the glad tidings of peace to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death ! What arc all the inconveniences and discomforts which the wildest desert on earth could inflict, when compared with even the slightest prospect of being the means of delivering one immortal soul from the wrath to come, and inducing it to take shelter under the covert of the Rock of Ages ! The spiritual harvest in this country is plentiful, and ready for the sickle of the labourer. May our friends at home pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his vineyard, und may they not be satisfied with praying only, but themselves put their hands to the work, and give of the abundance which God has gi\en them to promote the gospel among those poor destitute exiles from tlieir native laud. SlK, Suult St. Marie, U. C, Nov. Wth, It'SH, In my last journal, bearing date July 6th, I mentioned that his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor had, during our interview with him, expressed u desire that Mr. O'Neill and I should go up with the Chief Superintendent of Indian affairs to the Manitoulin, a large island in the northern part of Lake Huron, where the various tribes of the aborigines of the continent assemble once a year, about the beginning of August, in order to receive the presents of clothing, &c., which are distributed gratuitously among them at the expense of the British Government. His Excellency's object was, that while these interesting people were reaping the frnit» of England's gratitude for past services, they might hear of Him whom Eng- land professes to worship as licr God, and whom she professes to regard as the source of all the national prosperity that she enjoys. The Archdeacon of York, having previously expressed his wish to the same elTect, neither Mr. O'Neill nor myself felt at liberty to decline. Having completed my journal from the quarter ending Gth July, 1838, 1 waited at Azillia, on the shore of Lake Simcoe, where Mr. N'Neill had appointed to meet me on the 21st or 22nd of July ; but, owing to some unavoidable delay, the Government party did not arrive there till the evening of Wednesday, the 25th.
