INTRODUCTION. "Aed v'ith e invited on some w Junk, 8G1 u'i/l is church stered at earnecili/ md that will, on a circle If Divine GiJATlTUDE, deep, solemn, and unbounded, to Almighty God, the Fatlicr of all mercies, is tlic leading princijdc of thought and action which the experience of one year has fixed upon all who have been engaged in the brief but eventful history of the Columbia Mission. Long and tedious voyages ^ in sailing vessels have conveyed some to the distant colony, amidst trials incon- ceivable to those at home. Storms and deadly disease have been encountered, and shipwreck almost miraculously avoided. By broken machinery ^ the lives of others have been placed in immi- nent danger for several days. Thousands of miles have been traversed over both by land and water. Tender women with in- fant children have passed the vast distance alone. The living agency of a small but vigorous Church has by various means been removed to the shores of the Pacific ; and not an individual, either young or old, has been injured in the slightest degree. Xor has the protecting care of (iod been less remarl;ablc over those engaged in furthering the cause of the Mission at home. Surely it may well be felt that the Lord has been ever present to strengthen and preserve Ilis children. The design of this Report must be threcrfold : — FiPST. — To show the authority under which the Mission Fun JL exists. SiX'ONDLY. — To give INFORMATION as to the jtrogress of the Mission abroad. TmiiDLY. — To ACCOUNT for the working of the appeal at home. ' See pages 100—104. a See piigo im. 31351 INTR0I»UCT1(>N. I. Al'tiiority for tiik Fund. It is a matter of no liglit importance to advocate tlic support of a missionary fund for a single colonial diocese. And the public have a right to inquire the grounds on which their con- tributions are solicited for this purpose. The question presses forcibly cveiy day, and it is no exaggeration to say that a candid and explicit statement on this point is strongly called for, in order to secure sympathy and support for those who have devoted their lives to this arduous enterprise. The Bishop of Columbia has found that he must have been " utterly POWERLESS," if he had proceeded to the colony without a diocesan fund which could be applied on the spot, as occasion and oppor- tunity should render desirable ; and, while he rejoices in the aid given by the Missionary Societies, his experience has confirmed the opinion he formed, after careful deliberation, that in founding the Church in so remote and difficult a community he should im- peratively require a fund, which could be administered without reference to the sanction of authorities at so vast a distance as London. And surely, surrounded as he has been by so many peculiar features in his work, the authority of the Bishop to institute such a fund, even if it stood alone, should not on reflec- tion be seriously questioned. His judgment, however, and his course of action in the matter have received warm approbation from the highest authorities. The four Archbishops of the United Church have given this Fund their generous and earnest support ; and the speeches delivered at the last great meeting in the Man- sion House, which are embodied in this Eeport, gave forth a lull and emphatic expression of approbation in aid of the Bishop's appeal. Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and various branches of the Government ; the Bishops of London and Ox- ford ; the great supporters of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts ; Lord Chichester, Mr. J. Gurney Hoare, and other leading members of the Church Missionary Society ; as well as the Lord Mayor of London, and the Hud- son's Bay Company, have all united in giving the weight of their sanction and authority to the Fund ins'^ituted for his diocese by the Bishop of Columbia. It may therefore be safely regarded as resting upon a combined AUTHORITY derived from 0\ the the I 186C bute the cnga two firml been estim and ( fortli for symp engag alone, scenes are of brethi varied which —It ] use of mainlj The home, to be ^ for ha victioE IL— support ,n(l the eir con- presses that a r called 386 who 5.

Proc Kss OF THE Mission. On this head it will be of great value to keep clonrly before the mind, the length of time really embraced by the Journal of the Bishop, and the other papers which follow it — From January, 1860, to January, 1801, — ^^just one year. It is quite fair to attri- bute to the existence of the special Fund the blessed result that the services of Missionary Clergymen and Ladies have been engaged, and that they have been conveyed to Columbia ; that two Churches^ have been built;' that two Colleges* have been firmly founded; that a work amongst the native Indians has been begun,' the fruits of which no forctli ught of man can estimate, and that Missions have been fou^dod also at Nenaimo and Cayooah.* If this first Report could only tell of the setting forth of such a Missionary staff, strong grounds would exist for a';'<;ng Great Britain to follow them with her Christian sympathy and steady support ; but, when already they are seen engaged in their important labours ; when men are labouring alone, and single-handed, in the midst of the most depressing scenes of heathen life ; and when many able ministers at home are ofiering to devote their lives to strengthen the hands of their brethren amidst the Chinese, the Native Indians, and the other varied population; shall the contributions be withheld w'ihout which those who have gained the breach cannot be sustained? — It is a question of the greatest moment, for on the prompt use of the present crisis, the future welfare of the Colony will mainly depend. III. Account op the Appeal at Home. The balance-sheet will show a large amount of expenditure at home, for which some explanation, and perhaps apology, ought to be given. Mr. Garrett confesses himself alone responsible for having directed that expenditure; and this under a con- jviction that no one else can ever fully understand the cir- ^ St. JohiiB, and Trinity Church. See pages 84 and 89. See pagert 85 and 95. See page 101. 6 1NTKUDIJCTI(»N. I cumstances which called for such an outlay. It will, however, he perceived, that this Fund, obt.ained during a most critical year, has borne all the expenses of printing and circulating the account of the Sums contributed in the year 18/39 under the appeal of the Bishop ; and it has also cleared off all the charges incurred by giving effect to the great meeting in the City; whereas, the Bishop's appeal had exhausted the resources from which many friends could contribute, and there was but a short time, before the closing of the account,^ to obtain results from the appeal in November. 8till, it is most encouraging to find the amount upon which the Bishop relied, very largely exceeded, after defraying all home demands upon the Fund. It is only necessary further to state here, that very extensive correspondence opened out many causes of intense anxiety as to the prospects of the Fund during the first eleven months of the year ; and a solemn conviction of the vital necessities of the case led to thousands of miles of travelling, and the extensive circulation of publications, by which alone the Mission could be made known to the country. Now it is every- where understood, and warm hearts have been everywhere enlisted in earnest sympathy and desire to assist. With an anxious hope for a favourable verdict, the case is committed to those who desire to aid what has been well described, by a highly valued friend, as " one of the most interesting efforts to extend " Religion and Civilization which have marked the times in " which we live." There are several ways in which economy may be promoted, and important results obtained, through the friendly co-opera- tion, in different parts of the kingdom, of those who will receive this report. Local organization is producing considerable effects in some parts of Ireland, wliere the assistance given to this Mission has been chiefly called forth by a diocesan system of advocacy ; and some of the clergy have been studying the history and nature of the work, so as to conduct appeals, and give in- formation to contributors, in many parishes, without requi ing the attendance of a deputation from a distance. The Bishop's Commissary is now able, by the assistance of such friends, to arrange with several of the clergy to visit neighbouring districts, and so to spread intelligence over any ])arts ot Ireland from which he may receive applications for such advocacy.

The great benefit derived from a number of small collections, made by local friends without expense, will be seen by the Summary, which shows not only a large amount of contributions obtained in that way, but also a number of new channels opened up for distributing information. It is cheering to reflect upon the large and blessed results which might be obtained, if in each Diocese, Archdeaconry, or Kural Deanery, collections could bo made in one-third of the churches, even once in three years. Without the least injury to any local or other religious cause, such a j)lan would give to all the people at least some opportunity of taking even a small share in a work which is now admitted to be of national importance, and it would give untold strength to those who are engaged in its labours. It is also extremely desirable to increase the list of annual sub- sf:RlBEKS, as additional missionaries can only be engaged when the prospects of a continued and regular support can be realized. To all human calculation it seemed utterly hopeless, in the spring of 18G0, to answer the anxious call of the Bi.sliop for a staff of fellow labourers to enable him to found two (Jolleges, capable of assuming an efficient position in the great work of education • and the hearts of those interested in it well nigh despaired of finding the able living agency required, and the large neces- sary addition to the mission fund. Yet, within a few weeks, by a series of gracious Providences, the demand was supplied, and the Church of England euabled to assume her right position iu the colony. So now, it may appear almost impossible to obtain the means of occupying the wondrous openings laid before us, for giving the i)ure Gospel, in sound religious institutions, to the people of the four continents, whose Souls are looking anxiously llor the bread of life; but, to Him, who blessed the "five barley oaves and the two small fishes," giving the multitude food enough nd to spare, it is an easy matter to touch the hearts of those ;vho have the power, and lead them, in the zeal and simplicity of vimitive times, to bring their contributions, and lay them at Us feet. And for this end, the prayers, as well as the active abours of our Christian brethren, are earnestly entreated. 8 8PE1XMIES AT THE CITY ]\JEE17NC 3fiTii XOVEMllKR, 1S(U). c H C W a w o 'A s O ■-s H V A Public T.jKKTr\(f. in aid of the Mission, was held in the Egyptian JIall, at the Mansion House of the City of London, on Fiichiy, the .SOth of Noveinher, ISOO.

" I have also (continued the Lord Mayor) a letter from the Earl of Chichester, in which his Lordship says : — ' I regret much that it will not be in my {xjwer to attend the meeting on behalf of the Mission to British Columbia, at which your Lordship is to preside on Friday. I have from the first taken great interest in the progress and future prospects of that important Mission, and confidently hope for the continuance of the Divine blessi.ig on the work which the good and able bishop presides over.' " I have also a letter from the Earl Granville, in which his Lordship writes : — ' London, Nov. 29. * Mt Lohd, — I regret that a meeting of the Cabinet and other public business make it impossible for me to attend to-morrow the interesting meeting over which your Lordship is going to preside. * 1 should be much obliged to your Lordship if you will direct my name to be put on the list of the subscribers to the British Columbia Mission Fund for 10^.

There are great, good, and eloquent men present who will have much to pay ; and in their hands I leave the matter for the present, T will now call on the Rev. John Garrett, who represents the Bishop of Columbia, and who will make a statement of what has been done during the year since our last meeting under this roof." (Hear, hear.) Thr Rev. J. Garrett rose and said : — " My Lord Mayor, I am called upon, as well by your Lordship's request as by that of the Honorary Secretaries of the Metropolitan Committee of the Columbia Mission, and also by the duty I owe to him who has charged and entrusted me with a commission to represent him here, to make a statement, upon which, I trust, this meeting may be able to deliberate and then to take proper action. First, my Lord, I desire to express the heartfelt thankfulness of myself, of the Bishop of Columbia, his clergy, and of all those who are engaged with us in this work, to the honorary secretaries of the Metropolitan Committee, to the members of that committee who have strengthened our hands, to nil those who have signed the requisition, and to all those who are, by their present advocacy, giving to us that strength and power without which it would be impossible to make our appeal felt throughout England anJ throughout the world. (Hear, hear.) It is my wish to occupy but? a few moments in making the necessary preliminary statement, and 1 think the best course within my power will be to give a practical account of what has already been actually accomplished through the instrunientality institutd fer a special and extraordinary work by the Bishop of British Columbia. * My Lord, within these last twelve months, by means of the fund witli which the metropolis and our friends throughout the United Kingdom assistci' \ wors furtlie you upon place means he has veryv Gospe enij)Ici contri more c I [Mr. ! receive I the Re I there n a heatl |l'im an THE IJEV.

He has been able to found there already, within twelve niontliH, two educational establishments, — one for young men, and the other for young ladies. He ha.s been able to place at the head of these two Colleges, clergymen and ladies, with their hearts in the right place, and pre- pared to carry on the education of tlie rising population in the pure and sound princijdcs of the Church of England. (Hear, hear.) His Lordship has also succeeded, within that brief })eriod, in establishiTig and setting into active operation an efficient and large mi.«3ion to the native Indians. He has, moreover, made an important begimiing amongst the Chinese, and he lias secured the hearty services of a clergyman, who is able to preach as well in French and German as in English. Thus has he been enabled to strike, into the infant heart of the colony, several main roots of missionary labour (hear, hear); but, my Lord, he has also found it right to take a firm stand upon a most vital vnd important question. I would pass over entirely the large subject of slavery in Amr lica, either in its social or its political aspect, and only touch it where religion calls us. (Hear, hear.) In discharge of high duties, the Bishop and Clergy of Columbia hare taken a stand, in the name of England and her Church, by which they are sheltering, under equal privileges of publie worshi[> in the church, those coloured people who have descended from former slaves in America ; and they are able, through that stand, to make known on the Continent of America, and on British soil, a vigorous and firm resolution, that they will maintain equal privileges in worship for the white man and the coloured. (Hear, hear.) It is important, my Lord Mayor, that this should be placed before this great meeting, be- fore this city of London, and ijuleed before Europe ; it will give the Clergy strength, to know that this announcement is well received by this assem- bly, and when it is known that in a spirit of affection towards those who surround and differ with him, but at the same time with firmness and with resolution, the Bishop has your high approbation in maintaining it, as a religious principle, that the coloured population are not to be forced to worship in our churches as an inferior race. (Cheering.) Desiring further to open out the practical part of this great work, and to assure you of the necessity which the foundation the Bishop has laid, places upon us to keep up his Diocesan Missionary Fund ; I will endeavour to place before you a vast want which he finds pressing upon him, and which his means have not hitherto been sufficient to enable him to supply. Recently he has been on a tour through the Continental part of his Diocese, and very where has found the native Indians anxious and willing to receive Gospel teaching ; he calls for twenty CLEnoYMEN who can be immediately emplcyed in that branch of his varied work, if only the necessary innds are contributed ; some extracts from his last letter will confirm this, and give a more correct idea of his position than any words I can utter could convey. i[Mr. Garrett here read some portions of a lettei^ which had recently been I received by Miss Burdett Coutts.] I believe, my Lord Mayor, (continued the Ilev. (}^entleman) that in the history of all our Church's Missions abroad, there never lay before her a wider, or a more ready field for labour amongst a heathen people, than the Bishop here describes as stretching out before him and his little band of clergymen in British Columbia. 1 Nov. 15. - In Bishop's Jounial, pages 51— .'53.

I ask that England shall do, in the planting of lier Chureii in Hrifish Columbia, Avhat England always docs when slie has any charitable purpose to carry out, such as giving comfort to tho distant Syrian Christians in their hour of suti'ering and need. I ask England to do, in feeding with the bread of life those thousands on our own soil, what she has liberally done when a great famine has stricken the Irish people. And what shall I more say? for time would fail me to tell accurately or fully of the dif- ferent branches of this work. Vet a moment like the present, may j»erha|ts never be granted to me on earth again. 1 will thank our Heaveidy Father for the prosperity hitherto granted to our work. 1 will pray Jlim that one breath of the Holy Spirit may be pouied out upon this great city and upon our national Church- I will pray that lie may so breathe His living light into our souls, as to show, in every part of the world, the mighty woi'k that England's Church. t;rising in her true spirit and organization, is able to perform for her Loi-d." The Lord Mayor then called on the Bishop of London to move the first resolution, when the right rev. prelate spoke as follows: — " My Lord Mayor, I esteem it a privilege to be called upon to move the firot resolution: — ' That tills meeting desires to express its thankfulness for the safe arrival in British Columbia of the Bishop and his baud of Clergy ; and acknowledges that their diflBcult position in that t'ar-olf land calls for special synii)athy aud Bupi>ort from their fellow Christians at home.' This speaks, my Lord, of * special sympathy and support ' being required. Your Lordship is in tlw habit of calling together the merchants of the city of London, once a year, in the spring, to consider the subject of Missions generally, in connexion with the great Society for the Propagation of the Gosjiel in Forevjn Parts ; but, if you will allow me to say so, I think you have acted wisely, and I think that your predecessor acted wisely, in having another meeting also in this hall which deals, not with Missions in general, but with some special, or individual, missionary work. In this great metropolis, we are all so busy, wc have all so many claims upon our atten- tion, that we know how, even in our own business, we are apt to be lost in the multiplicity of our employments, requiring us at times to concentrate our attention on some one or two special points. And so I think, in this great sphere of missionary labour which is brought before us at this meet- ing, it is well for us not to be lost in the vastness of the work in the world at large, but to fix our attention upon some spot, that interest may be stirred up by a knowledge of details, and by a personal acquaintance with the individuals labouring on that spot. And I have no fear that our general interest in the work of Missions will be at all interfered with by this special object. I believe we shall be more stirred up to take an interest in Mis- sions generally by having our hearts touched by this special appeal. I am told that in some of our great societies there is a little jealousy as to these special appeals lest they should lead to a diminution in the amount of tho 1 1 begtii hall |clapse( Inccordi {done, J Iwoids I THE KISIIOl' UF LONDON.

I am V as to these lount of the ■I I funds which flow in to the great general objects which the society has 'n view. But my experience is quite of another kind. My belief is, that the moi'c you accustom men to look at these matters in detail, the more you enlist their sympathy in some sejiarate work, the more they will be likely to increase your general fund, and to show their sympathy in your labours in the great work which you have to do throughout the world. (Hear, hear.) And when we fix our attention, my Lord, upon this particular point, it is very likely that the details which are brought before us, for example, in this Occasional Paper which I hold in my hand, may stir uj) some young men amongst us to go forth and labour in this field ; more likely are they to be stirred up by such details than by general resolutions as to the great desirableness of spreading Christianity thioughout the habitable globe. I eannot but thiidi that the touching descriptions, which the Bishop of British Columbia has sent home in his letters, of what he is doing among the wild Indian tribes, — his descriptions even of that remarkable life which he is obliged to lead in wandering from place to jtlace, — and of that noble scenery amongst which his labours lie, — is not unlikely to stir up some of our young men to join themselves with him in this 'great work. (Hear.) " To be sure, your Lordship might well say that I ought to be the last man to endeavour to induce missionaries to go abroad, seeing there is so much need of missionaries at home (hear, hear), and that our hard work in the dingy streets in the east of London is likely to have but few attrac- tions for those who are told they may go to this romantic land and join in this romantic work, and so engage in what meets with more praise than the {(lain labours of their dreary dull work at home. But my experience, my Lord, is this, — t!iat the more we can stir up a missionary spirit among our young men as to the cause of Christ abroad, the more shall we find labourers ready to enter also on our fields at home. (Hear, hear.) The common saying of every parochial minister, — that the more he speaks to his people of distant nations, the more they think of their own duties at home,— will apply also, T think, to the youn__, men of our universities, who, while they look highly at this missionary work abroad, will not think less highly of the missionary work at home. And therefore I have no fear lest these special efforts shall either divert the funds from our great Society, or make our young men less anxious to work in the difficult sphere that lies before them at home. (Hear, hear.) It is no use refuting — it is refuted by the experience of every minister of the gospel — the old calumny, that people, that reliuious people, now-a-days think much more of men at the antij)0(les than of those at home. The more we think of our distant friends, the more shall we also think of the friends gathered around our own hearth. (Hear, hear.) INIy Lord Mayor, when I heard what Mr. Garrett has stated of the work that has been done by the foundation of jthis bishopric of British Columbia, and by our friend the Bishop's labour, I began to ask myself how long it was since I had bi'en [)resent in this hall last on a similar occasion. Time flies so very fast, with our numerous loccupations, that it seems almost as yesterday ; yet twelve months have Iclapsed, and during those twelve months a great work has been done, Inccording to what has now been made known to us ; and had it not been jdone, a great woik of antdher kind would have been don«! also, for in the hvords of old Latimer, ' There is one bishop who never sleeps at his post. 14 HPKKCIIES. I i. who is Bowing broadcast the seeds of evil, if we are not at work to coun- teract his influence.' And, my Lord, if these twelve months had passed in that new colony, without any efforts on oin* part to do the good work which has by God's gi'ace been done, who shall say how much more evil would have been rampant than now, — how many souls would Imve been corrupted and lost for ever to the cause of Christ? The months jmss rapidly. We were met together hero on the 1 7th day of November last year ; and it seemed when we gathered round our Christmas hearths that there was almost no time in the interval for anything to have been done. But read the letters which are contained in these Occasional Papers ; see how he whom we met on that 17th day of November, to speed on his course with our Christian farewell, had. during that short interval, passed through perils of water and perils of sickness, been tossed on the Atlantic, waited at the sick beds of his shipmates while the yellow fever was raglni; in the vessel, and had again been saved by a providential interference ifVom being lost in that frightful shipwreck, which is known to most, — to all the clergy and many of the laity in this room, — ftn- having carried away the son of one whose name will be dear to London as long as London lasts. (Hear, hear.) And when we think that in that short interval he had passed through all those dangers, and, before we had well turned ourselves round, was building up the church of Christ in this new colony with abun- dant labours of love, we learn, I think, a lesson for ourselves, not to allow any one week or day to pass without trying to exert oui-selves to the utmost for the same cause in which he is labouring. My Lord Mayor, there is a specialty in this measure, which specialty has been well brought before you in the report made by Mr. Gannett. It is a Mission to men of many coti- ditions and many I'aces. It is a Mission of love to our own countrymen ; but, as has been stated, our own countrymen form oidy a small portion of those to whom it has gone forth. " There is an account in the 15th page of the paper published in June last of the stn^^^e of society in this colony ; and I think *t would be well that the meeting should attend to it. The Bishop takes, in one of his letters, the rising town of Douglas as an example of the mingling together of various races. The coloured men are 8, the Mexicans and Spaniards 29, the Chinese 37, the French and Italians 16, men from Central Europe 4, from the north of Europe 4, citizens of the United States 73, and British subjects 35. So that you see what a variety of races there arc there ; and there are more Chinese settlers there than there are Biitish settlers, and twice as many Americans as British in that town. He tells us, moreover, that this is not an unfair specimen of the .whole state of society in that young colony. He tells you the strange truth, that of this number 204 are males, and that only 2 are females. A sad state of society, speaking of a want of those bonds of Christian sympathy which keep men together in this land; telling us also, that as yet there is hardly 2 such a thing as a home in all that district ! And how much need, then, that we should send forth those humanizing influences which our own Church, represented as it is there now, may be able to spread amongst those men of many races — those homeless men ! Had we left this un- touched, I am afraid that the colony would have, indeed, been in a dan- gerous condition by this time. The Bishop informs us in one of his I I we a theC then kindr some them offorii is a p of ou thoug hear. of hii most them and curses grace( men. which upon "A with V apart diawnH HI : THE HISIIOP OF U>NI>UN. 15 * I U) coun- ;ood work move evil Mivc been mtlis l»ivss ember last 'nrtbs tbat been done, iipcrs; see >t'd on bis val, passed c Atlantic, was raj;i"S rencc from —to all the d away tbe indon b\sts. val be bad 3d ourselves witb abim- not to allow ) tbe utmost r, tbcre is a it before you • many con- ountrymen ; ill portion of ibed in Juno ould be well I one of bis ing togetbev id Spaniards ntral Europe ites 73, and !es tbere arc e are Britisb n.

And there, what a terrible state of society he found ! No place of worship in the whole town ; no minister of any denomination, though it is years since it was founded ; only one communicant — tbat is to say, one man who had received tbe Lord's Supper during bis life — among the whole of the inha- bitants of that place. That is an American settlement. I trust we shall not leave any British settlement in tbat state ; and yet if we had held our hands, and were not ready to enter into and encourage such work as is broujlit before you in tbis ball to-day, our own li. itisli settlement would soon have sunk into somewhat of tbe same level, and the same condition. Tbere are some curious and touching things mentioned by tbe Bishop in liis letters. You have beard of the Chinese in the colony. He mentions tbat 10,000 Cbinesc were on their way — tbat it was fully expected there would quickly be an immigration thither of 1 0,000 Chiuose. He speaks of tbem, as you have heard, in kindly phrase ; and he tells one thing which is worth noting, that one of those Chinamen had contributed 10/. towards building a church in Victoria, and 51. towards building another church on the mainland. I like the thought of 10/. and 5/. contributed by tbis Chinaman. It seems to speak of a great opening to Christianize these people, and to send them back, as the Bishop hopes, in due time, to their own home, to bear the remembrance of Christian treatment which tb.ey may meet witb from our countrymen in British Columbia ; and they who are thus influenced to build Christian churches in a distant colony, will be likely, no doubt, under the kindly treatment and instruction which we are providing for tbem, to be powerful missionaries hereafter to spread tbe Gospel of Christ in their thickly-populated home. (Hear, hear.) And tben you have heard of the coloured men, who gather with aflPection and kindness round tbe Bishop and his clergy, and who feel that they owe fiomething to Britain, and who are anxious to welcome those who come to tbem in the spirit and name of Britons. You may here read of a free-will ottering of 41. from a coloured man to a hospital. A thank-offering — it is a proud thank-offering for a British clergymaPi to receive, as it speaks of our having done somewhat in our day to repair that sad evil which thoughtlessness bad caused us to be partakers of in times passed. (Hear, bear.) And then as to tbe Indians. The Bishop tells one touching story of his having seen an intoxicated Indian. All the Indians are anxious, most anxious, to imitate tbe habits of Europeans ; and this man imitated tbem in their worst phases. He became intoxicated with European drink, and went about uttering English oaths in his drunkenness — oaths and curses, to bring down from heaven a malediction upon those who had dis- graced themselves, and perilled their souls by teaching evil to these simple men. How different, if, instead of oaths, we had taught them prayers, which might have ascended to heaven, and brought down heaven's blessing upon ourselves and upon them ! "And then again, as to the Americans. He speaks of the kindly feeling with which they have rallied round him, the jealousy which so often keeps [apart the members of the Anglo-Stixon race disappearing when they are I drawn together for a Christian work. He speaks of the Americao clergy 16 Sl'KECIlKS. <■ .;,'! forming a huge addition to those who rnlHcd round hitn at tho time of the consecration of his new churuh. 'i'his Church, of course, has luid to do in former years with the welding together of men of ditforeut Idood in our own nation. Our own strength cousists in the variety of elenienla thus united in one kingdom and in one Chiu'cii ; and doubtless the same otiice remains for it in that distant land, which it has so well executed in our own land at home. And if tliere are s|)ecialties, luy Lord, in the work that Is to he done, there are also specialties which it might be well for us to master in considering the particular way in which this work is sought to be done. You read in these letters how the liishop has transplanted to that distant land the very same machinery which he liad learned to use in his parish at Yarmouth. You hear of his Scri|>ture Keaders ; of his enlisting laymen of the higher cla.s8cs, as he had dune at home, to go from house to house, or from one scattered cottaoe to another, to endeavom* 'o teach men the value of their souls ; you read there how he endeavours to employ the working classes, as they are called, as well as the upper and the middle classes, to be his assistants in his missionary work, having his staff of men who lend religious books and read the Holy Scriptures, though they are not jtersons of nuich education or of any position in society ; and you read also, in the account of his labours, how lie has called women, where he could, to his aid. Ladies have gone forth from this country — female missionaries! In this age, when we hear so much of the necessity of s-onie new means of feuuvle employment, it is well to look at this feature arising among us of female missionaries, sometimes the best missionaries, ladies by birth and ladies by education, going forth with a clergyman amongst them. I have read the letters in which that voyage was described, how daily prayer was ottered up in the vessel, and how the effect of those prayers daily otfeied by the clergyman and those ladies had an influence on all those in the vessel ; and then, how their religious feelings were first treated with respect, and were afterwards entered into with interest and benefit. And, my Lord, we now find these same ladies have conimenced a colleiie fur eduoatin<>; j»irls. Such are the ways in which the Hisliup is labuuiing, as he learned to labour in his own parish at home ; for, indeed, he is transporting to that land our own time- honouied Church — carrying it, not indeed with the wealth and power derived from the state, but yet with all its historical associations, in all its comprehensive spirit of love, for nothing is more remarkable to me in reading those letters than to see that the Bishop's heart is open to all men that bear the name of Christ. A man may go forth alleging that he is to he of the high Church or the low Church distinction ; but my opinion is, that unless ho is a bad man he will soon cast aside the one and the other. My belief is that the angles rid> oft' when men have to do with this great work in such a field as the J3ishop of British Columbia is engaged in. (Hear, hear.) Ho goes forth, bearing our Church, as an officer of the Church, in its comprehensive spirit of all-embracing love ; he carries with him our time-honoiu'ed liturgy in the very language in which it was written, the symbol of its being so admirably suited to be the centre of attraction, that draws together tho Anglo-Saxon race (hear, hear) ; he goes forth as a Bishop — a name not to be thought of lightly, though 1 say it— a name which is the name of an office revered for associations that go tilU'IIKSTKK FOKTESCIE, Kf|)lanted to .1 to use in is; ot his to tro fioin llt'llVOUl" '«• U'UVOUIS to u\)\nii' and luivinjj;' his Sfrij>ture9, position in low he has foitlj from III- so nuK-h t is well to , sonietinu's o'oinu; fortii which that ! vessel, and 1) and those ), how their afterwards w find these hiuh are the r in his own ir own tinie- aiid power US, in all its )le to me in n to all men that he is to y opinion is, ul the other, th this great engaged in. officer of the ) carries with kvliich it was the centre of r, hear) ; he though 1 say itions that go bat'k to tho cradle of Christianity. And in this fHr-off land it is touching to lead how. in the hack-woods, ho was \volcon)od by a solitary settler from Cnnada. simply hecanse ho was a Hishop. The very name that he horo carried the man hack in spirit to the day of his conHrniation, and mado him young again, and made him think of thiit apostolic ceremony through whicii he hail first boon taught of himself to make vows to his Lord nnd Saviour, which vows perhaps in the course of his rough life he had thought little of till they were recalled in that dny.

My Lord, I beg to move the first resolution." (Applause.) CiiTCHKSTKR FonTKSCiK, EsQ., jNLP., Under Secretary of State for the Colonics, in seconding the resolution, said : — '* My Lord Mayor, I venturo to address a few words to this great meeting, in support of the resolution which has just been moved by the IJisbop of Loudon, for the simple reason that being officially connected with the twin-colonies of Vancouver's Island and liritisb Columbia, which form the diocese of Columbia, I have been requested and have gladly undertaken to ])erforni this duty. Jt is well known to the nieeting that an eminent and distinguished man, lately the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Sir Edward liVtton, had the honour of founding this youngest and perhaps most interesting of all the colonies of j England. But though British (Columbia was banded down in a very un- formed and infantile state to the present authorities at the Colonial Office, 1 1 can answ(!r for my noble friend, the Duke of Newcastle, that no one can 'xceed him in the interest which he takes in its progress and welfare. (Hear, 18 SI'EKCllKS. I rt hear.) Niitliing, I may ndd, would have prrvcntcd him from being present to tnke ]>art in tl-csc iinportivnt nrocccdinnrs to-dny, hut the most imppintivo call of duty elsewhere. (Ilenr, hcnr.) Indeed, my liOid Mayor, 1 tliiiik it Ih impossible for nny one to be cotuiected, whether offieinlly or othorwise, as it i» my fortune to be day by day, with tlie worldly and material affiiirs of a community like British Columbia, without being often affected with an earnest desire that its higher, and holier, and more sacred interests should not be neglected. (Cheers.) It is impossible, I say, to be mixed up with those uff.iirs without earnestly desiring that Ihitish Columbia should not only possess, as I am happy t«) say she already possesses, the rudiments of law and order, good government, a vigorous commereo, and a healthy and hardy industry, but also to desire that in that young eomniunity, and upori that fresh and fertile soil, should bo sown the seeds of an educated, a reli- gious, a (jiod-fearing, and a Christian nation. (Hear, hear.) Jiut, more than this, my Lord, because I am far from forgetting that this is not merely a Christian Missionary Meeting, but especially a Church of Kngland meeting; njore than this, it is impossible but that men so ofticially con- nected with this colony, aiul having the natural feeling to which I hi .e alluded, if they are indexed mem' '"s of the Church of England, should also wish that their own Church shoi be the means of conferring on that distant land this great good. It i. ..jpossible for menibers of the Church of England not to recognize the duty which is nearest to them, which is most immediate to them ; wliich is, as it were, ui\der their hands as the true and natural task pointed out to them by Providence. ( I [ear, hear.) It is for that reason, my Lord, 1 feel that the Colonial OtHee, and those who represent the government of this country, have a natural and proper comiexion with the great work in which we are engaged this day; and in saying this, I feel that I am not speaking to you mere truisms and matters of course, because I wish to remind you what the relations between the government of this country and the church in this colony really are. I need hardly tell you that those relations are not such as exist between* the state and the Church in this the mother country. I need hardly remind you — but perhaps it is well to remind you — that no such relations subsist, or indeed can subsist, between the Church and the state in the new community just forming in British North America, as exist at home. The system of establishments — the system of state endowments for religious purposes — is so absolutely alien to the modern practice of North America, whether within the British possessions or with- out them, that it would have been absolutely impossible, and would have defeated its own purpose, had any attempt been made to introduce that system into British Columbia. That policy has been fully and heartily recognized by the government both there and here; and I am happy to add that by no one has the necessity for it been more fully and more heartily recognized than by the Bishop of British Columbia himself. (Cheers.) " It is well known to those who have followed the affairs of the colony within the last two years, that when the news first reached it of an English Bishop coming out there, much suspicion and some alarm were excited amongst a jealous community. The very name of * Bishop ' seemed to imply a system to which they were not accustomed, and to which they entertained objections. The newspapers there contained articles directed (.•|IICIIi.ori:U KOUTEHCIK. ESt^.

The I louse of Koprcficntativcs adopted rottolutions in the same seuHC ; and, upon the HiHliop's arrival, I holieve, no little excitenx-nt had grown up upon the suhjcot. But, within a very short time, the whole scene had changed. NN'ithin a very short time, by the tact, the excellent sense, and tlie judgment for which the JJisliop of Columbia is distinguished, he had completely succeeded in changing the current of poj>ular opinion, and turning it into a channel that was highly favourable to his own gii-at enterprise. He threw himself boldly upon the voluntary efforts of the people among whom he had come ; and he found himself cordially and heartily welcomed. (Hear, hear.) Hut in saying that wc must make up our minds to depend in that country for tno success of the cause of religion upon the voluntary system, and not upcm the svstem of state endowment, we cannot conceal from ourselves that, while on one hand the endowment system is impossible, on the other hand the volun- tary system is not exempted fiom very great dittieulties at the present moment — difticulties which I doubt not will vanish in the course of time, but dithculties which it would be folly to shut our eyes to at the present time. 80 that the cause of the Churcli and the cause of religion are in this danger, that it may possibly fall into neglect between two systems, one of which is impossible, and the other difficult. (Hear, hear.) 1 am myself convinced that without the great efforts which have been made from time to time to prevent this great catastrophe, and without the efforts which are now made to sustain the interest of the people of this country in the great work that has been begun, such an unfortunate circumstance might happen. Why it should be so I can inform you in a very few words. Time Hies so fast, and events follow one another so rapidly, that we almost foiget how very new, how very young, this colony is. Little more than two years ago the whole of this great region of British Columbia, a country as largo as France, was a wilderness, inhabited by wandering Indians and a few white men engaged in the fur trade. Since the discovery of gold a large population has poured into it from the neighbouring states; but that jiopulation is not now, by any means, a fixed or settled population. It has poured in and poured out again ; in fact, there has been a constant ebb and flow. From month to month the numbers have varied from many thousands to not many hundreds. From the nature of its occupation, from the nature of the country, this mining population is shi^'ting, separated, isolated, and at this moment, I believe, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is hardly a spot in the whole of British Columbia where it can be said there are three hundred fixed and settled inhabitants. I need not point out to you liow serious arc the obstacles interposed by such a state of things, to any steady and reliable support from voluntary ?Mbscriptions for a system of church or school. Again, we know that the population which is filling up this country is not one which has been accustomed beforehand to the enjoyment, and therefore to the appreciation of those blessings. It is a population which has for the most part been leading a wandering life, and enjoying few of the privileges of religion. Not that I mean to say that all the evil which has been spoken of this mining population in British Columbia is deserved ; because I must say that the degree of good conduct, of order, and of respect for the law which prevails there, is, considering the circumstances of' the case, something perfectly marvellous. (Cheers.) I am happy to think, or rather 20 SPEECH lis. I I. i :' i; i ill 1 .'" *1 to know, that the wild, aiul reckless, and dangerous population which dis- graces California, and sonic other states of the American Union, has found British territory and British law anything but to its taste ; and I have it on the authority of our Judge in British Columbia, an able man who has effectually supplanted the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch within the British territories, that nothing can exceed the remarkable absence of serious crimes among the industrious mining population, or their general good order and obedience to the laws. (Loud cheers.) But such a population as that I have described will not originate the institutions of a Christian country. They will not provide the means of Christian teaching or I'eligious worshij), although when provided for them they will welcome and appieciate, and, I have no doubt, hereafter maintain them. These, then, are the circum- stances which make it ini[)Lrative upon Christian England to come forward at this early period in the history of the colony, and jtvovide those Chi'istian institutions which, I am convinced, the colony will hereafter maintain for itself. •* There is another reason which makes it highly desirable that the National Church should strike its roots deeply and firmly in British Columbia. I speak not of the highest and most exalted reason that could be given; I speak rather of what naturally occurs to one who has been mixed up with the political affairs of this colony ; I allude to the un-English character of the population. (Hear, hear.) In that respect this colony stands quite alone, there never having been a case, I believe, where so large and preponderating a portion of the })opulation has not been drawn directly from the mother country, but has poured in from, or through neighbouring settlements, and has thus been, in a great degi-ee, Americanised in its passage and lost its British habits and feelings. But this is no reason to complain or be alarmed. On the contrary, the policy of this country has been to throw the doors of the colony wide open, and oppose no obstacles what- ever to the entrance of an American population ; it is, however, a reason why we should earnestly desire that the teachers of the rising generation should be drawn as far as possible from the mother country, that they should form a link which is greatly wanted between our dependency and ourselves, and also be the means of fusing into one harmonious and Christian conununity, as was admirably said by the Bishop of London, the "whole of this mixed and heterogeneous population. (Cheers.) " T will not detain the meeting by alluding to the many other races of people who occupy the ground in British Columbia ; but one word I must say to remind you of the paramount claims wliieh I conceive one race of people in British Columbia has upon the consideration of Englishmen ; 1 mean the Indian race, the original ])osscssors of the country. (Hear, hear.) I fear that that race has already suffered much from the presence of the white man. I do not mean to say that the relation between the white and -the rod man is as false and unsatisfactory nyon British territory, as it is known to be in the territoi-y of the United States. On the contrary, I am happy to say that such is not the case. Within the dominions of the Hudson's Bay Company it is well known that the contact of the white and the red man has been marked with far less of those truces of cruelty, and bloodshed, and opi)ression on the one side, and revenge on the other, than imfortunatelv are ijo often found in the territories of our neia;hbours. cniClIKSTElt rOHTF.SCIE; F.SQ. 21 which ilia- , has found 1 I have it xn who has the British ious crimes I order atid in as that I in couiitr}'. us worshij), liate, and, 1 lie circuni- nie forward ic Christian niiutain for lie that the in British II that could 10 has been un-Enolish , this colony liere so large awn directly eighhouring mised in its 10 reason to itry has been tadcs what- a reason why ■ation should should form .irselvcs, and community, >f this mixed icr races of word I must one race of olirthmen ; 1 Hoar, hear.) scnce of the en the white rritory, as it e contrary, I nions of the he white and cruelty, and e other, than neighbours.

But it is not enough to believe, though generally it is true, tliat tlio IndiiiiiB of British Columbia have escaped, to a greater degree than elscwIuMo. fi(»m the contaminating iiiHuetice of the white men ; it is not enough to tliink that they have not been d.iven from their means of subsistence; that they have not been poisoned, body and soul, with ardent spirits, quite to the same extent in our territory as they have been elsewhere. There is a higher duty than that incumbent .surely upon us towards the aboriginal iidiabitants of the country. We know that they are a people of whom much may be made ; that they are a teachable and pacific people, when they are not maddened by the use of spirits, and wo know t''.at in nearly eveiy case when bloody (juairels have arisen between the two races, the fault has almost invariably been on the side of the stron!j,ei', that is to say, on the side of the white man. Tii this particular colonv, the Indians are in a peculiarly favourable position for the action of Cliiistian teachers upon them. They are under our hands. At this moment I know of an assembly of 4,(»0() Indians, who are settled on an Indian reserve, close to the capital of \'ic(oria, in Vancouver's Island, I settled on ])roperty of their own, ])resided over by a governor who is i thorougbly acquainted with their character, and r< .aly to welcome any Christian Missionary, who will aid in the work of civilisation and of Clirls- tianisation. (Loud cheers.) Such are the circumstances which will lead our Christian Missionaries in British Columbia never to forget the require- ments of the aboi iginal race in that country. I beg pardon for detaining the meeting longer than 1 had intended on a subject of deep interest for me. In the words of the resolution, I feel tliat the task is arduous and beset with diflicuities ; but on the other hand let U'< not forget that it is I one fidl of hope and of promise, and that it liaj this cheering consideration I for the Christian teacher, tliat he has not to begin his work too late. (Hear, M liear.) lie is not beset there by the paralysing sense that he is endeavour- ing to make ai. .dmost hopelesss and imperceptible impression on a vast population already buried in ignorance and vice. He begins his work early ; and, how early is he in the field, can hardly be perceived without remembering this peculiar fiict, that out of the still small population of British Columbia, two-thirds — I had almost said nine-tenths — are men I and adults. Tlu> meaning of that is, that the future population, the rising generation, of British Columbia, is hardly on the ground yet. So tliat, as i that rising geneiation grows up, it will, we may trust, in consequence of 1 those early and vigorous eiforts on our part, find the means of Christian instruction ready for them, ami themselves surrounded with all the appli- ances of a Clnistian country. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, I would ex- press my hearty and warm concurrence in one observation which was made l)y the Bishop of London. I allude to this remark, that in this country, Iwitli this great work before them, the Clergy of the Church of England would be ready to join hands with all men professing the name of Christ. (Cheers.) I cannot help saying, that liei'c at least, the main work to be done will not be t .at more dubious work u])on whicli many differences of opinion ])revail, and which consists in proselytism 9nd controversy, as be- tween different denominations of Christians ; but it will be the work of waging war on ignorance and vice in all their forms, and of endeavouring, 1 22 SPEKniES. under tlic blcHsinf^ of God, to rt'ducc that cliaos to the order and liglit ol' true Cliristianity." (Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor then put the resolution to a show of hands, and it was carried unanimously. The iiisuop of Oxford. — " My Lord Mayor, the resolution wliicli I have been requested to move is this, — 'That this meeting, recogniHing tlie national irnportanco of niinsionary la,')oura among the '(jlouists, Chinese, Native Iiulians, and coloured people, and believing that the Bishop and Clergy of Columbia desirve cordial approbation for the exertions they are making to promote the religious and moral advancement of the Colony, requests the Honorary Secretaries and Metropolitan Committee fonneil last year to continue their kind exertions, and obtain as large a fund as possible for the purpose of supporting tlio misrfiouariea under the great and l)eculiar difficulties which surround them,' The i)urport of tliat resolution, as T understand, my Lord Mayor, is this — it calls the attention of this meeting to the fact, that the special purpose which wc have in view is the forming, in this stage of its existence, tlu; moral and religious character of that colony. Now, there are sevenil con- sideraticns which make this a matter of the deepest moment. There is this, first of all, that undoubtedly this colony is destined — as far as man dare forecast anything — is destined speedily to grow into a great and important people. The position of it geographically makes this almost certain. The fact that it commands the great harbours, the great mari- time conveniences, with which God's providence has endowed that part of the coast ; the peculiarity that a stream so analogous to the Gulf Stream, which keeps the climate of our own land so temperate, sets from the great Chinese continent across that sea, and keeps the whole of the temperature of this new settlement from the extremity of cold, with which otherwise its latitude would visit it; its peculiar powers of productiveness ; and, I think above all, its being opposite to those great Eastern countries which God's providence seems now to be so specially and so manifestly opening to us ; and, therefore, the probability that, at some future time, it will be the receiving harbour for the products of those Eastern countries, the mouth which shall receive them from the ship there, and send them on some future railway across that great continent of North America, and supply them to the whole of Western Europe (cheers) ; all this has in it the prospect and the promise of that country growing up to be a great nation. Well, then, the second consideration follows : that it is impossible for us to over-estimate the enduring effects upon the national character of that future people, of the influences under which they pass their youth. (Hear.) We, every one of us, see this ; we sec it as the la' Tiarked by Providence upon all growth and upon all life; — vegetable life, even, bears the impress of the stamp that has been set upon it in youth. The tree that grows hereafter into a mighty giant of the forest, owes, more or less, all its future shape, whether it soars upwards to the heavens, or extends itself laterally to the side, to the inf uenco which has been brought to bear upon it in its sapling condition, and which has ordered its form before it becomes indeed a tree. And in man it is the same. Which of us has ever watched a youth in whom we had a deep interest — watched him from day to day, and seen in the mere boy tliat play of features which told of THE BISHOP OF OXFOIll). 23 and light ol i, and it was ion wliich 1 mary l&,')onrM and bolioving )ati(>n for the [vaucement of ,n Coiniiiit.tce rge a fund iis the great and ^•or, is this — ecial purpose jxisttncc, tho sevenJ con- it. There is \» far as man ' a great and s this ahnost I great mari- d that part of Gulf Stream, •om the great temperature otherwise its and, I think which God's poning to us ; t will be the cs, the mouth u'.m on some a, and supply has in it tho great nation, isible for us to acter of that •outh. (Hear.) by Providence ,rs the impress roc that grows )r less, all its extends itself t to bear upon 'orm before it lich of us has died him from which told of lich told of til withm Inm. nr i ifirniifics of onr conmion nature being strong of there being within a better power strug- gling against those evil intluonccs, — without almost having the gift of pro- ithecy conic upon his own mind, and thus forecasting, in those passing sbadowrt which floated over the lake-like youth of that young creature, what would be the future which would inevitably be unrolled out of that which was passing now in so small a compass before his eyes. (Loud cheers.) And just so is it with nations. The cradle and the youth of tho nation fixes, it may be for centuries to come, what shall be that nation's characteristic, morally and spiritually. Oh, my Lord Mayor, we have had great lessons upon this ourselves as a people. In our founding the colony of Botany Bay, as wo founded it — yea, even in our founding that which lia.s grown into the great country of the United States — wc have had great lessons upon this subject. Wc have seen ourselves what it is to sow tho seed of a people, without sowing with the seed of humanity, the seed of God's word, and of the institutions of the Church of Christ. (Hear, hear.) We have seen this. We have seen the lines of evil in our own cha- racter prolonged and magnified in that of our progeny ; and it must bo so. It must be so for this plain reason. When we send forth into the distant ])arts of the world our own blood, in the first place whom do wc send ? We send the more adventurous ; for the most part those who have some- thing of recklessness in their character, those with whom tho laws of society and the stiaightlaccdncss of tho laws at home do not particularly well agree, who long for the opportunity of a little more expansiveness, that is, of letting their own character lose something of the stereotyped condition of character at home, and assume for itself what its own natural a{»titudcs lead it to develop. Now, only sec how many influences have been brought to bear to make English society what English society now is. There is not only the great power of Christianity, which, where it pervades the character, does all at once make the man, whatever be his rank, a gentleman in the highest senile of that word, whether he is labouring at the loom, or following the plough, or living in a palace. There is not only that; but think of the multitude of influences, which go to make the ordinary Englishman, in whom religion is not the dominant principle, what he is ; which teach him forbearance towards the weak, which teach him self-respect to a certain degree, which make him not the creature of appe- tite and mere volition, but make him a certain law and principle that gives correctness at least and something of stability to his daily life. Those influences are like the feeble cords with which the ingenuity of Swift told us that the great man was boimd down by the Lilliputians, each pigmy binding him with his own cobweb, until the cobwebs grew into a great and powerful coil. (Great cheering.) And so it is with us at homo. Take for the moment a taste of Englisli society anywhere ; and what do you find ? Not only your highly moral man, not only your Christian man leavening all around him, but you find a multitude of others who all in their respective stations tend to keep things quiet. Why, even your mere respectable man, — who is one of the poorest creatures, take him all alone, that you can possibly conceive of — your mere brown-coated respectable man, — why, even that man is doing a great deal in England to keep tho tone of English society what it is, and to prevent the outbreaks of 24> ^^I'KKCIIKS. 'Hii I np])clito, tho onthnjuks of'scusuiility, the outhiviiks of mad volition, gmt if V inn- its every desire at tlie expense of others ; even that jioor ereatnre is doinj;' a great deal. Well, then, withdraw snddenly all these intluences together ■—the long-estal)lish(Hl tone whieh the prevalenee of Christianity has created in the land ; the long-established tone which the ditferent ranks, and the interjoining and interfitting of those ranks, into what we call society, has done for England ; the way in which cveiyhody almost has Some eyes upon him, and the consciousness that he has some eyes upon him which will condemn his conduct if he falls below the line which circum- stances have made the level of those among whom he has been educated ; — withdraw all these uifluences ; take your respectability away ; tlu-ow these men, the most reckless of your |)opulatiou, into a new set of circum- stances, where chaiacter has lost its value, lost it just as completely ar* a coined ])iece of money has lost its estimation when you tender it to the savage man, where it cannot be I'cad, when the value of character has therefore disappeared : when strength in the arm and tho subtlety of the intellect, when that which makes the Indian Imiiter or warrior great is that whieh is to make hencefoi'th tho civilized J']iiglishman great, how he can seize the largest and retain the greatest shfire. whether he gets it by force or by almost every species of allowed fraud; — J say, cast suddenly any slice of English societv you like under such new induences as these, and you may conceive what must be the effect upon it. (Hear, hear.) The demoralization, the lowering down of the common tone, the injuring even of those who with Internal light within themselves struggle for a time to keep up the tone within themselves against the influences around them, and the cei-tain and deadly lowering of those who have no such internal light within to keep them free from the surrounding darkness. This is almost necessai'ily the case in every new colony ; but it is pre-eminently tlie case in this. You know what has caused the sudden flow of popula- tion there. It is the discovery of the gold flelds. And to what does such a discovery address itself in ifallen man ? Does it not address itself at once to all those particular faculties and dispositions within us which it is the business of society, of education, and of religion to depress ? It is tho gambling princi])le. It is as different as possible from the effects of their work upon agricultural people, or even upon mechanics. Tho principle of gambling, of risking all and endeavouring to gain sudden wealth by sudden luck. You all know how utterly demoralising, even among ourselves, even in this city, in its highest ranks is this influence ; how when once a man gives himself to this he is marked hero at home, among those who aro around him, as a man who is not to be trusted in anything, because tho '^■ law of right has given place in that man to this terrible aggravation of the vilest laws of a seeming expediency. (Hear, hear.) Now such aro the influences which are brought to bear upon the new population of this new colony, in all their strength. And then remember that the mixture of those difterent bloods is all against the new colony. You know how very small a portion of an evil influence will weaken down a vast volume of good influence ; you know how in a school the introduction of some one utterly abandoned waters down, as it were, the higher common tone of the whole body to a degree infinitely below what you could conceive to be 1 possible from so nlight an admixture.

Then there is the Indian man, whom your colonist is tempted at once to use as the instrument of his own ease and gain — who through his very innocence becomes a temptation to the colonist by the development in him of the Caiu-likc passions which teach a man to regard another not as one committed to his koe[»ing, but as one whom he is to use up for his own scltish gratification. (Hear, hear.) You see these evils. But mark — vou have ar.other evil, and that is added to these, the worst of all. You iiave the sad absence of family life ; and the absence of woman's company. The Bishop says, in a letter, which has been put into my hand since I liave come into this room, that at this moment there is but one woman to every 200 men among our colonists. Think for a moment what blessed England would be if, for the next five years only, wc were thrown, with all our advantages, upon such a state of society as that. Then measure, if you can, what must be the temptations to your brethren in that foreign land, with all those other inducements to evil strong upon them ; with all those counterbalances to good suddenly withdrawn from them, and this master levil of the absence of infoncy's smiles, tiic absence of the prattling presence |of the little one round the rough father's knee, the absence of woman's healing and elevating society, the absence of old age with its histories of [the past and its claim upon the tenderest emotions of the heart for the resent negation of self to minister to its need. My friends, if you would stlmate that aright, let me read you two or three lines from this letter. It ps an account which the Bishop himself gives of o..o of his visits to some f the miners of your own blood : — ' The great drawback to the wholesome progress of society is the dearth f female pc] dilation. I suppose there is not one to every 200 of the other ex. 1 cam.' upon a pleasing exee})tion the other day at Hill's Bar. I as visiting the miners; one log hut seemed more neat than the rest. As e approached a modest-looking young woman asked us to come in. She as from the north of Ireland, a Brotcntant, and had married in Australia. here was something simple and touching in her manner. I entered upon le subject of religion. She loved to attend church and had been piously rought up by her parents whose custom was to have fomily prayer night m\ morning. Her father was still living. She was very lonely; and had iO female society. One other there was; but her character was such she uld not associate with her.' And now, mark you this. ' Her husband cnicd a fine young man. When he went out, being busy, she asked us excuse him. 'lEe is very rough here, sir; so diiterent from what ho [as when he was in Melbourne.' On reading and explaining a portion of ri|)ture and offering prayer, with tears she said, ' Oh how well I re- emher all that.' On going away she thanked us sevc.al times and said, never thought here I should have a reverend gentleman to call upon .' Docs not that, my friends, tell the whole tale to you ? The one uence still existing here for good; the man vei-y rough to what he was BUM se SPEECHES. .1;'^^; even in Melbourne, because the measure of restraint which socictj tlicro brought perpetually to bear 'ipon him, hero, in your colony of Columbia, had now been altogether withdrawn. Well, then, this is the case; the present time all-important; the youth of a giant in your hands, the deve- lopment, for good or for evil, of habits and thoughts and manners which our strength of race makes it impossible should be small, but which shall be gigantic for good or gigantic for evil, a young one of the race of Anak which shall grow up either to be the curse of our race, or, with the strong arm of British law of which we have heard from iSIr. Fortescue, of British right, and of British religion, the doer of good to the whole of that mighty continent. (Cheers.) Yes; this is the question. At present, it is very much of a cave of Adidlam; but whether there shall be there a David to bring it to order, or whether it shall be left to utter disorder, is the ques- tion you arc to settle. Eemember, there can be no government influence given in behalf of that which every one of us in tlus room believes to be the saving principle for that land, — I mean the establishment of Christ's faith there. It must be done by ourselves, or it will not be done at all. There is among all those threatening dangers which surround the youth of this people. this one great blessing — that fiom the first, and before society had settled itself in its channels there, it has been turned from that turbid stream into the city of God. That is its hope. God's providence gave thi.s just as it gave the danger of the gold diggings. lie put it into the heart of one who could do it by one great sacrifice to provide that the Church of Christ in its perfectness should be coeval with the upgrowth there of Christian society. He gave us also that first apostolic desire, — a man of apostolic character and apos'.olic gifts. But the question is, shall avc support him and enable him to do his work ? " My friends, this is indecl the blessing of this colony. It is not only, though of course I believe it to^bc chiefly, that the blessing wliieh comes down from the Head of the Chxuch flows with the most abundant stream where His own institutions are honoured and where His church is planted in its perfectness. It is not that only, although of course it is that chiefly; but, over and above that, if you come down to mere worldly expediency, you will be brought to the same result. You want everywhere to have over the worker of the special work, the general overlooker, who can direct tlic separate workers, and bring the separate work into one hand. Even those miners and gold-seekers find the necessity for this. They find it necessarv to elect one in their own company to direct the common operations, becauft I otherwise, even in their material work, the success of it is scattered by tli; want of unity among them. It is so in every work. Ihe man who?; whole soul is given as it ought to be given, to his own particular field 0: ; labour is disqualified by the very fact of his giving his whole soul to hi- particular sphere of labour from taking note what the other labourers aboii ; him are doing. If he looks off his work to see what they are doing, tliei [ his own worli; is not done; and if he attends to his own work, he caniioj direct that of others. Upon mere natural principles, then, you want have at the head of one of the greatest undertakings that one can conccivti I mean the introducing Christ's faith and high morals into such a state ( society, you want, even upon mere worldly considerations, one minister ( the faith whose business it is, not to labour to the utmost of his power i ::k k. til feoti[ rel U.

(Applause). I bog, my '^lOnl J Mayor, to move this resolution." M ^J'hc right llev. Prelate was loudly applauded as ho resumed his scat. m IIenuy Hut.se Bkkkxs, Esii., Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, ^rose and said — " My Lord Mayor, after the eloquent speech just delivered by 'fthe Lord Jiishop of Oxfoid, I will not long detain the meeting ; but having %cen so long connected as I have been with the Hudson's Bay Company, 1 ffipel that it may be expected fiom me to make a few remarks on this subject. ■(I [ear, hoar.) My Lord Mayor, I need not adveit to the first advent of the ilmlson's Bay Company in the district of British Columbia. It occurred, • 'I believe, in tlie year 1809 ; but wo have certainly from that time preserved the whole of tliat territory for Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) Had it not b(>cn for the Hudson's Bay Company there can be no doubt that the whole tf that colony would have been overrun by Americans and all sorts of people, which has now been preserved for the crown of Great Britain. Wo nave certainly done our utmost, and I must say that the servants and (f»fHeers in the territory have done great things, in paving the way with the ndians ; and we now hear that the Bishop of British Columbia has been ell received by the Redmen. It has been our great hobby always to irotect the Kcdmen. We have endeavouied in every way to aid them in orality, and to encourage them by trading with them and setting good aniplos, to biing ihem into the way in which they should go. 1 can ngratulate this country upon the whole of that tei'ritory being perhaps e only instance in which the red man has increased and not diniijushed. other countries the red man has constantly diminished ; but with us I ay say that the red man has very much increased. And why ? I will ik. Because the Hudson's Bay Company have always set their faces ainst the use of ardent spirits, in every part of the territory where it was ssible to prevent it. It is very well known that the Indian is prone to ' ? Inr field (' W^^"^ spirits.

It is : — ' Tlmt sincere tlmnks bo tcndnred to the Right Iloiiourablo the Lord Mayor, for so kindly convening this nioeting, and for presiding on this occasion.' While I sincerely thnnk your Lordship for having so kindly convened the meeting, and for having so ably presided over it, I caiuiot hut otler my congratulations to your Lordship on the fact that the first meeting over which I think you have presided since the commencement of your mayoralty of this great commercial city, has been a meeting with such an object as that for which we have assembled this day, the spread of the knowledge of the gospel in a distaittland, whore not only numerous colonists have planted themselves, but whore there are multituilcs of heathens in ignorance of the truths of our holy religion. From my connexion with Norfolk I had long known much of Dr. Hills ; and when I heard of the means he devised for the good of his fellow-men at Yarmouth ; and when I heard of hi? nomination as Bishop of British Columbia, I felt that a better man coidd not have been selected for the arduous duties which he had undertaken, " To read the letters he has sent home, to read of the work he has been doing, would easily convince you of this. I was also rejoiced to find from his correspondence that he had met a Mr. Duncan, who had been sent on; four years ago by the Church Missionary Societi/, and that he had spokcr more fiivourably of Mr. Duncan's work 'han Mr. Duncan ever spoki himself. I certainly am well pleased at the manner in whiclvMr. Duncar was originally sent forth to this distant colony. When Captain Prevo-' was appointed suddenly to the * Satellite ' to go to Vancouver's Island, tlii first thing he thought of was, what spiritual good coidd he do ? He wen' to i\\Q Church 2Hssionary Society, and said, 'Can you find me a ma: ready to go at once to Vancouver's Island ? If you can I will give him berth and land him safely.' Just at the time some anonymous friend of tl | Church Missionary Society had given 500/. to be devoted to that distar| colony. The Society hardly knew how to act. They are not in the half of sending a single man into the wilderness ; they prefer sending U\ together to be mutual helps to each other ; but at this moment, with noble an offer before them, they immediately searched about for a w\ ready to depart at once. They found Mr. Duncan, who had passed throiijl the Church Missionary College. He was not an ordained man ; but was ready to go out within a week. That man started ; and I believe has done much good. The Bishop met him ; and they seem to have a most affectionate interview. The Bishop approved of his work. I v just read an extract from one of his letters, which will show that his bcs is in the work. He says — * My heart has indeed been in a constant flutter ; but my eyes lii ever been directed heavenward. God has been teaching me my weakm and bringing me to the reality of trusting Him. I can say with confidci that He has been with me, for I have seen His hand. When I have ready to faint. Ho has come to my soul, and amply supplied all my wa; My constant prayer is, that He will mercifully pardon all ray shortconiirj and bless my feeble eflforts to His own glory and the welfare of souls.'

To-morrow morning the newspapers will bring forth in their columns a report of this meeting wliicb will be des[»atched to the colony of British Columbia ; but of all the points possibly connected with the meeting one of the most important is, that there should go forth to-morrow to that colony a message of support in a pecuniary point of view, in aid of the work which the Bishop has to do. I have no doubt, my L'^rd, that in tlio Icityaudat this m.eeting — and tlic subscriptions already given and promised jconKrni me in the impression — there will be, by the end of this year, pecu- niary support secured for the Mission to a considerable extent. But if it is possible for those present to write down heir names as they leave the [Mansion House, with the amount which they intend to contribute, in order [that we rnay send out to the colony tomorrow, a proximate estimate of 'hat may be expected, it will be most imjiortant. And allow me, my iOrd Mayor, personally to thank your Lordship for the great courtesy with which, at this early period of your Mayoralty, when your time is lecessarily so much occupied, you have ever received us, wlio wished to jonsult with yo\u' Lordship with regard to the present meeting ; I beg to »ut this resolution to the meetinu" with the assiu'ancc that even to the jacrifice of private business, and enduring the disturbance of his domestic ;ircle, the Lord Mayor has manifested an extraordinary degree of kindness in this matter." The rev. gentleman then put the motion to the meeting ; and it was irried by acclamation, with every mark of respect. The Lord Mayor — " My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,! rejoice in having )cen the humble instrument, in representing the city and presiding in this lall, of giving a sort of civic support to a movement which is of such vast nportance to our distant and new possessions. I feel that, as Englishmen, re have a high mission to perform. We are peopling foreign lands with |ur children. We are sending out our language, our institutions, and lur overflowing population, all over the worhl; surely a most high duty Icvolvcs upon us, that whilst avc are thus prompting and encouraging our lildren to go abroad and people distant lands, we should assist them to 10 utmost of ou'" power by fm-nisliing them with the religious means mich we esteem as Divine privileges in our own habitations at home." The Bishop of London pronounced the Benediction ; and the meeting icn dispersed. The amount immediately traceable to the meeting exceeded 000^. on le same evening — Sec the subscription list. 30 KEQUISTTION FOR THE CITY MEETING TO TlIK UKIIIT HONOUUADLK TIIK LOHD MAYOR. \Vk, the undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Traders, and others, con sidering it of great importance that tiie Mission to Biutisu Columhia, BO generously founded by Miss Burdett Coutts, shall ho strengthened and upheld, Bkquest your Loidship to convene a Vuuuo Mi;i:tino in the City of London, for the purpose of promoting this object.

Considerable increase la i)uildiiigs was manifst beyond those existing at my former visit ; there werq [leveral steam-boats and a barque, the Perkins, of Francisco ; we could not jet near tlic wharf, it was raining hard. I walked up to the Camp and ^uiul Colonel and Mrs. Moody and the Governor at breakfast; I was tindly and hospitably welcomed.

LATINO COnNER-STONE OF TRINITY ClimCII, NEW WESTMINSTER. l^lay 22. — A lovely day ; at a quarter to eleven his Excellency the icornor, Colonel J.xoody, and officers, walked towards the town from the JIamp, were met by the Committee and Mr. Sheepshanks, and proceeded the ground. The site of the new Church is a very beautiful one in Victoria [ardens, and, commanding an extensive view, will be a most prominent bjcet from the river to steamers an'iving from the sea ; at present two \ep ravines arc on either side, avound it are large stumps of trees, and the )und is entirely nnlcvelled. Here the frame of the flooring had been 1, being massive sills on thick short columns of wood. Under one of these ngs," the south-east outer corner of the porch, was laid the stone granite ; a bottle of coins, with inscription, was inserted. The Governor ras received by a guard of engineers ; there were assembled about 300 ; Chinese, Indians, and other nations, being represented. The same form of prvico was used as at St. John't , Victoria ; the service was commenced by Sheepshanks, and the Bishop followed. The Governor laid the Bne. Addresses were delivered by the Govenior, the Bishop, and Uoncl Moody ; concluding with the doxology and blessing. went up the Brunette in a canoe ; this is a beautiful stream, the banks covered with verdure and overhanging trees ; amongst others, a wild »le was in full blossom with white flowers — very like in appearance to our \ I ^^^sm. ^^mm i! ; !;i f . ^ 32 bishop's journal. hawthorn in Maj ; the evening v/as delicious, niul the whole scene gave me a jileasure, such as I had not experienced before since leaving old England. THE QUEEN 8 BtltTIIDAY. Ma// 24. — The Governor invited a large party to speiul the day with him, in celebration of the Queen's birthday ; he chartered a steamer, the Maria, for an excursion to the head of Pitt Lake and up the river of that name ; Avc started at eleven from the Camp wharf. The day was dull, there was some rain, but on the whole the weather was good. The Maria is one of those extraordinary vessels, peculiar to America, which combine light draught, ample accommodation, power, and sj)eed ; 20(J people might be stowed in her and she would not be two feet in the water. Her wheel was behind. We passed up the rich and beautiful banks of the Eraser, about five miles, when we came to several islands, one called Free Island, behind which flowed in the Coquetlum. We too!, up a settler here, and his friend, a fine old Irish gentleman, who \\A wandered from Ireland to Australia and from Australia here, where lie resides upon 400 acres of land with his two sons; he is a comr unicant, his daughter was confirmed at Victoria recently, and his sonn re aring for the same ordinance. Hanson's Island shortly after divided the channel of the Fraser, and on one side, the north, lay the Pitt lliver about half a mile wide ; this wo entered and steamed along a fine reach with meadows on either side. At one point is the farm of Mr. INIaclean, who fired a salute as we passed, Mr. Good, the Governor's secretary, has a farm also, on which we observed several stacks of hay. Alter proceeding about twelve or fourteen mile^i, passing several Indian villages, we came to the entrance of the lake ; tin: scenery had now become mountainous, we were i>assing through a rangt called the Coast Kange. The lake now entered was about fifteen miles long, it is exactly like a Scotch lake, and we seemed '■o be on Loch Ness. Captain Spalding, whosi father for many years has lived at !'''ort Augustin on that lake, expressot! '^^ the same opinion, the only difierence was that this land was more lofty, a- ^'^■■ the lake, perhaps, broader, but it was not above two miles. At one ],^ ' two points, where the lake turned, and where was a view both ways, nol^ "• . -^^ ^ could exceed the beauty of the scene; waterfalls came pouring down int ^ . " white froth by the water-side, occasionally hidden by the trees, an " then visible again below ; fir trees lined the sides and sununits of tli perpendicular heights to the extent of from GOO to 1,500 feet. At tlnv o'clock we reached the head of the lake, there we anchored and a bu;: went on to proceed up a small river ; we turned back at four and sat duw in the saloon to an excellent repast. The Governor proposed the loyal toasts of the old country. The bisli' and clergy of the diocese were received with much kindness; in ro'.V!' lii thanks for my own health, and that of the clerg}', I said, amon;- ' points, we desired to forward, without being politicians, the instituti(^:i the land ; I rejoiced that a step toward self-government had been taken the grant of a Municipal Council to New \\\'.stniiti.stcr.

A\'e reached the camp at eight o'clock, after a most agieeuble day. KXCUKSION TO LAXGLKY— INPIAX FISIllXO TlIK FHASER. JIaj/ 25. — The Governor went away fiom the camp to Langlcy at one. laptain Parsons followed, with a i-.v/ty of tappers ; considering this a food opportunity to sec the river and that district, 1 accepted a place in lis whale boat. Mr. Sheepshanks accompanied me. The distance was keventecn miles, the stream was very ra[)i(l, and the pull was a long and a »ard one ; we did not reach Laiigley till ten o'clock. I took an oar several imes lo relieve the men. The day was beautiful and the scenery ])leasiiig, "le river varied from half a mile to a mile and a quarter in width. Wc jassed several large islands. Every now and then we met a canoe Avitii Indians — one was ti.shini>; for salmon. \\'^c saw the method. There were u'ee in the boat ; two paddled, one at the stern held a pol", nl the end of diich was a bag-net stietclied by a hoop, this ho kept down at a certain ^Mepth, going down the streair. and meeting the fish in their ascent. As soon ho }»erceived by the sensation that a i\s\\ was inside, he quickly drew a ti'iiig which closed the bag, and the tish was caught and brought into the poat. I understand they will catch salmon sometimes as fast as they can lower ind pull in the net. On either side of us was the most luxuriant foliage, aoinotimes the interior was den:je with wood, at other times a clearance noiglit, without difficulty, be made, and land brought into cultivation. The Ijioiqting of the trees and lower underwood was very beautiful. Ilising jp ^ majestic heights were pines of ditferent kinds, — cedars, the Douglas, and lack spruce, — then the cotton tree, a sort of po[)lar, and the maple with raceful outspreading branches, the latter with a delicate green ; then >wer still, and filling in at dilTcrent heights, wee alders, a wild apple in jll blossom, very like our May, in clustered white flowers, willows, hazels, cwering over the water, so that IntUaii canoes could paddle under them iM/iiost unobserved. ■M iluge trees were frequently met with which required good steering to ^V''-j''^ ^3 they came rushing down with the current, or remained stuck in the -r»V,v :, " Snags" they are called, aud aro occasions sometimes of injury to Wc passed several villages of Indians, but did not land — one village was lied the Kaetzi. These Indians are numerous ; jioor creatures, they stood the ei' I' of the water, or rather sat or squatted in tlieir peculiar manner, itching us intently. We found the Governor at the Fort ; a lai-ge hall quaint wooden building which stood at (1 %ts the general room, in the of the onclosui 'houses. Excellent ivfreshmcnts were on tl 10 le ble, and we were hospitably received by the Hudson's Ijay Company Iclals ; a comfortable tea, with corn beef and sardines, i>;ratitied and if^t. lined us; and a blanket bed, upon the floor of an empty room, gave tidant opportunity for refreshing sleep FAMILY M'OUSIIU' — KAKTZI INDIANS. fMay 26. — I rose early ; a little before eight the families and guest r^ 34 BISHOP S JOUKNAL. assembled in the hall and wc had family worship. I gave out one of ni^ Miners' Hymns, read a portion of Scripture, commented on it, and said prayers. Breakfast was then served ; we had roast chicken, beef-steaks, potatoes cooked three ways, salmon, butter and cream in perfection, amongst other good things. 1^^^ After breakfast I had an interview with Michelle, the chief of the Kaetzi ^ ^ Indians. I asked him of his people. lie said they were fewer and fewer, ^ ^ liquor especially was making sad havoc. lie was giieved in heart to see jj^y them fading away. He would like to have his cliildren educated. His ^^.q, people knew nothing about the future ; they never thought about it. j^/,,, Nobjdy had come to tell them anything. He thought something himself ||ji]{ but did not know much, and would mention to his people what I had said, j Michelle understands a good deal of English and is a well-known friend to n)ik the white man. Iicj,, An Indian chief from Harrison River, named Seemiiim, agreed to take iiic gjgv^ in his ! r oe to New Westminster. We kept him waiting rather longer than he J»,.,,« liked, i ) lisappeared ; we had agreed for five dollars. These Indians ',|f\^(,^ are well }■ I understand at Hope, they get four dollars a day, i. e. liw., gcoii so they are uocoming very indifferent ; a couple of years ago they would it^Wa do anything for a little tobacco. Unless you take them at the moment you ^mn want them you may often be disappointed. Wuik We at length found another Indian canoe, paddled by two Indians, win: |^ ^.j agreed for three dollars. I first inspected the little chapel at Langlev coltiv Spit, erected by Mr. Ciickmer, twenty feet long by fifteen wide. Tlici: ftatui passed along and visited Lower Langley, or Derby. Here the church is in good order. Our two Indians paddled ii- down the stream in good time. The motion is very delightful, the tla\ was fine, the scenery enlivening. We reached the camp at a little befoii three, having come sevent' en miles in rather less than three hours. On: Indian in command would sometimes stop paddling and point to spots whci he and his tribe once roamed in possession. Now a hostile tribe occupic. the land of his fathers. He did not speak of the intrusion of the wliiti man ; the fact is, their tribes have suffered far more from each otlic: than they ever can from the whites. This Indian belonged to the tril' opposite Langley, the Kortlaw or Cartlaw, once they dwelt where tli Engineers' Camp is now situated, but had long left it. The spot the call Chastlers. May 27, Whit-Sunday. — I preached three times. At the Holy Com munion, at the Camp, six communicants only. This is sad. Service ; this town was at eleven at the Court House, — about twenty people. May 28. — Walked with Colonel INIoody and Captain Prevost to tl farm and clearing belonging to the former, on the way to Burrard's Iiilt iw|pe about two miles and a half from the camp. Up to that point all dense forest. The tract is very rough, and not suitable for even a hor much less a wheel. At the place about seven acres are cleared ami garden made ; pears are growing, apple-trees arc planted. The surrouii ing land has been burnt. The forest trees are standing, but dead. '1! i under brush is gone ; one burnt and dead tree fell while we were tlicr Two men had been felling, tl?-) tree came down with a mighty crash, moasured it and found it 170 feet. tvnu I At nig i>od( KAETZI AND CHIMSYAN INDIANS— DOUGLAS. 35 mt one of my 1 it, and sm*l 1, bccf-stcaks, perfection. m f of tlic Kactzi wcr nnd fewer, 111 heart to sec ;ilucatcd.

I was engaged writing letters, visited the Camp school, and had a wulU with my kind and ho.spitable friends. if 31(1// 30. — Mr. Dinican from Fort Simpson, and Mr. Uundas from i^ictoria, arrived to see mo ; the former not in good health. He ha.s been iwo years labouring amongst the Chimsyan Indians, till he has obtained t great influence. His accounts are deeply interesting, and it i.s delightful sc( tlic cntliusia.sm which glows within him for the poor Sowash. I l^ave arranged that he should como to Victoria and take part in Indian work there. At about half-past ten this evening I embarked on board the JJoixff/ for Hope and Yale. Colonel Moody wont at the same time. At half-past one we reached Langley, where we anchored. Ma// 31. — At half-past four we left Langley and steamed on. A few ttiles up the river changes its character and becomes bold, with rocky heights on either side, lieached mouth of Harrison at half-past twelve. Several islands at entranco. The current at junction of Harrison and ^raser very strong. Steamer at one point nearly driven on a rock. Her 'heel within three feet. Indian village at entrance of Harrison called ourlitz ; named by Governor, Carnarvon. From this to Douglas is forty ik'S, wo reached the latter at six. The greater part of this lay through rfniagniticent lake — the Harrison. The water a clear blue of great depth ; l|[)un(lings had not been taken of less tban 100 fathoms. The mountains either side of considerable height, covered with timber, very rocky, no Itivatable land. "Waterfiills and cascades frequent. This lake in all its filBtures is a ditto of the Pitt Lake, only on a double scale. ,'.f DOUaLAS. I At the head of the lake, through a winding channel, is the harbour of uglas, with the town at its extremity. It consists at present of a few •odcn buildings, with an excellent quay. The Ilev. Mr. Gammage met , and I proceeded to his little cottage ; the way to which lay across oral plank bridges over rushing toncnts. Mrs. Gammage was waiting , for her husband. I sat down with them, and we were soon discussing ! various spiritual necessities of the place. Afterwards I visited the und set apait for a church site and the new road ; the latter, made by Royal Engineers, is a very creditable work. On my way I was accosted by a miner. " If you please, sir, how is tlfe church getting on at AVcstminster ? " This was one of the five miners 10 gave their contribution in labour to clear the site of timber. These men afterwards presented their log hut to Mr. Sheepshanks, in ich he I'esidos. The other day, it was Sunday, the steamer arrived here iging miners. Ten miners came in a body at once to church ; they te Canadians. The Canadians in this matter are a contrast to 3rs who are not only indiifercnt but openly abusive of religion : whoso profanity is something terrible. (There are, of course, some lourable exceptions to this.) With those who have come from oui* |nies there is a maiked dift'orencc. I attribute this respect for re- )n to the care with which our colonies have of late years been attended »nd to the influence, under God, of the Church of England. ^U)ie J . — We left Douglas at half-past foifr ; delightful weather.

The valleys vary in broaiUli from a mile to three or four, exclusive of the river, which is from half a mile to three-quarters wide. Towards the ui)per river the scenery hecamo more beautiful, the moun- tr.ins nearer, the river more rai)id. About forty miles from the mouth ot the Harrison we came upon the mining bars: Hudson's Bar, Last Chance 13ar, Blue Nose, Manhatton, Cornish. Some are sand-banks stretcluDi; out into the stream, covered at the high seasons with water, as at i)resent: dry from August to March. Some are the side banks of the river which they dig away, scoop out, and extract gold. The uj)per earth is removed first, then, about four feet down, is a deposit of black sand in which is tin gold. To get this uppei' coat away the miner brings a stream of water, a method he calls hydraulics, which he plies with a hose in a strong jet, aiij >vashes away vast quantities in a short time till he gets to the " pay dirt.'' The last four miles, the stream was so strong, we were two houi's in doing that distance. At length Hope was reached, and the echoes woit startling and long, loudly responding to the whistle of the steamer ami the guns of the fort which greeted the Governor. It was ten o'clocli ere we touched the i)ier. I went on shore and had a lovely stroll by tlu pale moonlight. The air was balmy and scenery entirely Swiss. Yoi: might iTavc believed yourself in Chamouni or by the upper Khine, cxcop; there arc no glaciers shining in the clouds. Some things in Columbia I was prepared for, but I certainly dii not expect to see so good accomodation as aftbrded by the steamboals The cost of the Moodi/ was 2,000^. It pays the shareholders nearly oi per cent. It could accomodate 200 passengers. I had a cabin, the thm nights I was on board, superior to that I had in the La Plata or Solent- sbips of the West India Mail Company. Provisions were good am abundant. Thus, for dinner the first day, soup, stur^^-on, mutton, bet'! bacon, potatoes, beans, carrots, apple-tart. For breakfast there was fiii sturgeon, bacon, mutton choi)s, hot rolls, brerd, butter, tea, cofi'ee, etc. i^r Silver forks and spoons ; everything very clean and well cooked. Price are high ; four shillings a meal, besides the passage money. The captaii was a Scotchman ; the purser an American citizen, born in Iieland ; tli . steward an African ; the steward's boy a Chinaman ; the pilot a American, and so on. Such is a Fraser Iliver steamboat. A GENTLEMAN MINER. On returning I met, in miner's dress, with long shaggy hair ai bearded face, a young man, some of whose friends i knew in Engltii; He had been working on Union Bar. This was his life. I asked if it iv not very rough. He said it was more pleasant than people thought. This evening I walked out in the direction of Cornish Bar, down the ilv and came to several miners' huts. In one was a fine young man ail i way from Tipperary. His companion boasted of being a Yankee. Ti were respectful, and evidently not displeased with my visit. Anoti miner was sitting with Indians, and as an Indian. A fourth was sittiiii: ■ the door of his log hut, reading a Christian Knowledge Society tract.

The Governor, Colonel Moody, end Chief Justice present. I preached upon faith, in reference to the flay. At the Itoly Communion but five were present. INDIAN EEAIl niNTEIl, I had a conversation to-day with Ski yon, a noted boar hunter. lie Sitras sent on an expedition to explore a new pass to the Similkameen River. jOn his way he shot a bear. Tlio animal fell. He went forward to skin It, when suddenly it ro.se up, and fouglit with him. For some time the ♦ngagcmcnt lasted, leaving Skiyon victor, but dreadfully wounded. The %ear seized him, and mutilated many jtarts of his person. lie bled pro- pisely from his wounds. lie nevertheless attempted to crawl home. For len (lays he was almost without food. Yet, strange to say, he reached IIo[)(! at last. Much interest has been felt for him. To-day he came to 'Jjllr. Pringle's, who gave him food. I saw the wounds in his hands and l^'nis caused by the boar's teeth, nnd ho explained in a very significant inanner how the boar had conducted the fight. I told him in Chinook of the mercy of his Heavenly Father, and how much cause he had for thankfulness. Ho looked thoughtful, when he nodded assent, but soon JRssed to other topics. He was more afl'ected when spoken to about his aick child, now lying without much hope. He said ho was sick, turn turn, iic. heart sick, sad, and mamma also was sick, tnm turn. The Governor has been occupied, yesterday and to-day, questioning Indians as to the route across to the Similkameen. Some of these Indians lliow remarkable cleverness, in sketching out a map of the route, marking f|io rivers, mountains, valleys, passes and windings, then describing them. The Governor shows iminonso patience in extracting information. I This route to the Siniilkamoon is important, as it opens out to commerce the south-eastern portion of British Columbia, where are fine open lands, also a vast region of the United States, into which British commerce will .|ind its way from this point of the Fraser. In a military point of view also, ™is route from Hope is important. "I This evening, Divine seivice again was well attended ; there could not be ||8s than forty. A great number for Hope. I preached from liom. ,ii 13 : " How beautiful," ttc. Altogether I have enjoyed this Sunday. 3|ie tine weather, the exquisite scenery, and the hearty services have com- W^Q(\ to invigorate mo.

INDIAN SCHOOLS SPOKAN GAURY. %June 4. — Met a Mr. Yates who speaks the native language well. tsaid the Indian children would gladly come to school. There are ^ ut fifty here. They had attended well when Mr. Robson (now gone) lljld held school amongst them. He did not think they needed any other luccment than the desire they had of learning the hr^guage of white men. ll!:i| 38 bishop's JoUIiNAL. I called at Mr. Gray's, an intollipjcnt American, who livoe horc. He was in Oregon, llo remembers Snokun Garry returning from Kcd Kivor to his ti'ibe, and was often in the .school lie established for his own peopk". He worked on for some time siugle-haiuled and unsustained, and at lengtli yielded and sunk himself back to all the degradation of heathenism. Ho is distinguished now from the heathen only by his acquaintance with the English language. There was a Mission of the American board placed within thirty miles of his school. Application was made to bring it close to Spokan Garry, but this was refused. Garry is the chief of his tribe. Mr. Pringle, at my request, gathered a number of his people together to an evening soiree. Cups, and saucers, and candlesticks, were levied upon his neighbours. A capital plum-cake, bread and butter, tea and coffee, Avere the acceptable and bountiful provision. Some thirty assembled, amongst them were three Jews and two Koman Catholics. They were principally the traders and merchants ; but amongst them were several miners and their wives. Most intelligent men were those latter, and highly decked in silk their better-halves. After discussing the viands and other subjects in a friendly and social way, all, very much, and not over much, at ease, at Mr. Pringle's request I addressed the assembly. I spoke 'generally of the colony, and then of my mission to found churches and schools, to plant clergy, and instruct the Indians. I urged pure Eeligioii to be the basis and bond of society, and pointed out the advantages of tlio Church of England. I illustrated my remarks with the account of Boston and its ten-mi'c road, Spokan Garry, and an Indian boy who lamented he was not taught religion ; and concluded with urging them to make provisioi: for Mrs. Pringle's comfort. Colonel bloody followed, in an excellent spcccli upon colonial organization and the only basis of society which was religion. We concluded with singing the doxology right heartily, and parted about eleven o'clock. It was a cordial pleasure to those present, thus to be drawn together. Such a thing had not happened before, and both socially anil religiously, I believe, through God's blessing, will result in much good. MEDICINE MAN CHINESE MINER. June 5. — I heard a sti'ange noise in passing near an Indian hut ; wher. I approached I found it to be that of Skiyon, the Indian bear hunter His Avife liiul her sick child in her lap. Before her was the medicine mar practising enchantments upon the child. He was a strong-featured mat of about forty. He repeated over and over a few words with considerabi gestuio. Occasionally ho would stroke the brca.st and stomach of the child Beside him was a bason of water with .some whitening mixture in it; tht he would take and rub upon his hands, or he would blow into his hand: and upon the child, then burst forth again into his lament and incantation The mother held the infant towards him, and evidently felt considcraW: faith in the enchanter. I had a conversation with an intelligent young Chinaman, nineteen ycaii of age — Wong Chan Yun, the latter his personal name ; Wong, his faniil] j** or district — from the neighbourhood of Canton. He has beer: riway froii China since 1851. Came here from California, in 1858. He speak; English very fiiirly and acts as interpreter.

Shung Si was once a man. ^e could not tell me all his thoughts about Shung Si ; he did not know jiouf'h Kiiglish. I asked what they did in the joss bouse ; he said they yed on tbe knee with joss sticks. Only a few of the Chinese thought ut such things; the greatest part did not believe. He had been in on "--Kong, and had heard of the Bi-shop's schools. I asked if he longed tl go back. " O yes, I should like to go back." Have you brothers and ■bters?- his eyes j^e to know what the English thought and knew about good things of hiaven. He said he should. He had heard of Jesus, but did not believe in Him.

He would be much happier if he kliew of Jesus and all He had done for him. He seemed interested, and I promised he sliould have instruction, and that Mr. Pringlo would help him and give him books to read. He said there were some twelve or tiftcen jiHmg men who might be got to receive instruction. He does a little With them himself, but they find it hard and do not persevere with him.

U/««e o. — No spot can be more beautifully situated than Hope. The ler Frascr flows past it. The site is on the river bank ; on either side noble mountains ; opposite an island. To the back, mountain scenery ; s from the foot to the summit, and deep valleys between, through which the rapid and beautiful Quequealla and its tributaries, and in which asp situated several lakes. This evening we walked up the Quequealla, eHiscd its picturesque bridge, and proceeded along the Brigade Trail ; a nnding through trees and flowers, and where at times you might y yourself in the wilder part of some cultivated domain in England, scenery is a combination of Swiss and Scotch.

The India: whoso canoe was engaged, tnined out when the time came, alas ! to ho tk worse for drink, and it was too late, as the waterwas rapid and evcndangenw I took a walk with JNIr. Piingle along a heantifnl and romantic trail, fol- lowing a stream and glen to liakc Pallas, and then throngh a gorge into valley on its northern side, where was n stream wending its way to tli Fraser. I visited some of the Indian potatoe-grounds in that valley, tl. soil is very lich. The rows of ])olatoes were laid with great regularitt indeed in ligures and patterns such as yon sec on their hasket-work. Tlu also " earth up" at the proper time, which shows a more advanced star than I expected. Wo ascended a height, and upon a rocky, mossy kiiol shaded hy pines, wo had an extensive view of mountain and river scenon I could have sat there for hours, impressed with the grandeur of the woii of God. How insignificant the most gigantic accon)plishmcnts of mac \Vc weic then on the cast side of the Quequealla. A canoe, paddled hys Indian and his squaw, hrought us quickly down the rapid, rolling, swellii Fraser, to Hope, for which wc paid the sum of a dollar, 4s. 2d., for lis an hour's paddle. These Indians are well paid. June 9. — At four a.m. I left Hope in a canoe paddled hy these India: for Yale. The day was fine, the scenery was grand. The mountain siil of the Fiascr rose up in towering array, here and there deep gorges a: valleys pouring forth their streams, dashing, roaring down their rod heds to swell the milky liver, now many feet ahove its wonted level, swolli to a mighty rushing rapid torrent. The skill of the Indians was tried the uttermost, wc crept in close along the shore, even under the brand; of the trees, to avoid the current. But lu re at times the rapids Avere stroii The Indians seemed to hrave danger, and the sight of a breaking, foaniic roaring cascade, up which our fiail hark was to ascend, inspired them wi aidour. Every nerve was excited, they shouted and pressed the tiny tliif and picsently it shot past the rocks or snags, — occasionally so violent wast downward torrent that an eddy was formed, which for some way went! contrary direction and drove us upward. Several times wc got out n walked, and once tlic canoe itself was hauled out and carried on land [ a dangerous rapid. I could easily understand the fact, that in the rasli the mines in 1 858, many miners were drowned in endeavouring unas?i- to force their way. The difficulties of this portion of the river niav known from its taking us eight hours to go fifteen miles. On Wednc.-tl when the Governor and Colonel Moody came over the same ground v excellent caTioc and men, they were eleven hours ! Nothing could cxft tlie picturesque beauty everywhere. The hanks were frequently covci with flowers, and we actually gathered roses as wc went along. TKAVET.T.IVO BY CANoE — rllURril AT YAT-K. 41 ho Qiioquoalla, lio asccntrt aini ami allowed;, tod.

On Puget Sound IJar, on my remarking that 'he {'liiiie.se seemed to be eomiiig into possos.sion, a miner remarked, " Ven, fc call this country New China." On Strawberry Island, an eldeily aiid jtectable man came bed us to stop and speak with him. lie was reading a newspaper ami tad on spt'cfaeles.

It is a small place, formerly a store, Htted up with taste l>y Mr. h'ieknier. Jle has a melodeon whieh the people have purchased. The lusical part of \\w service was very creditably perfornuMl, considering most jM-cscnt had never before heard chanting. About forty ])ersons were ■resent, amongst others, the Governor, aiul Colonel Moody. The usual con- gregation is not above twelve or fifteen, so this was a largo representation. I, preached twice. In the afternoon 1 walked with Mr. Crickmer and visited some Iiulians and Chinese. The Holy Cw Kdgc round the place at prewcnt under the hands of the sappers ; along this, Indians travel, laden with merchandise, packed with 100 Ihs. weight ; the footing in some places was certainly not more than half an intli, in one spot a mere indentation for a naked Indian heel, a slip from this would precipitate down into the abyss of the whirling torrent. It is said many miners lost thoii lives in forcing their way here ; some hardy men, when they arrived at these points, would cast away in fear all they had in their hands, and look about them in older to escape any how with their lives. One sapper had been engag(>d two days in easing the path for tin Indians, at a point even moie diiticult than those described. Jlere tJK oidy way of passing had been to bend the back in a particular manner U preserve the balance ; a rock was blasted by the sapper, to allow the pas- te be made in a straight position, over two chasms, twenty or thirty feci across; a plank was placed in one chasm, in another two slender roundt!; poles tied together ; beneath these bending slender pathways, nothiiii intervenes to the roaring wateis below. The oidy other way to pas- the range is over the mountain by a dangerous, long, and arduous trail this in winter is closed by snow. It is of great moment, thercfoi-e, t' open a road which shall be short, safe, and accessible at all seasons. The men were pleased at Mr. Crickmer and myself visiting tliesi works, and treading the critical footholds ; we waited while a blast wa. fired under slielter of a rock, and witnessed the vast fragments hurki up into the air and then dashed around, some into the jrs, othci upon the rocks, while the thunder of the explosion reverbc again an again, 03 though there were many blastings instead of ono. The mo: seemed to regard us with particular care, and were evidently gratifici by our sliaring with them some slight danger. " Well, sir, we could no get the Colonel to come round here," said one, as though he thougL us braver than the Colonel ; the good Colonel, of course, being qui( ready to go anywhere that duty required. INDIJ.V OAMnUNG. As we went we passed by a large room in which were many pcojil I looked in and saw about twenty Indians sitting on the ground, pla^iii eagerly at cards ; further on, at the Indian camp, we passed a sinilL group ; on our return, some time after, both these parties were sti gambling ; they had been for hours thus engaged ; there was a haggai and anxious look upon them all. This is a great vice amongst them ; tl cards are a white man's introduction, but as to other methods of sin they lur long been addicted to it. I met an Indian afterwards whom I knew; 1 had with him two others. He said, " These two are from the Similkamecn: ' I asked what they did here. He said, " They work, and when they £ money they spend it all in gambling — yes, all goes in cards." I sai *' This is very wrong." " Yes," he said, '• it is not right." TEA-MKETINO AT YALE CHINESK.

The clmir was taken by Mr. Curtz, an American of German origin ; iomo of those present were Americans, there were three liomanists, Und others of various poisuasions, including .Tow.s, tlie chairman being a liUthei-an. The utmost liarmony and good feeling prevailed. I replied to the address. Colonel AIiKxly followed, and, while speaking of various topics of interest connet^ted with their town, he urged forcibly and with tact tlieir Adhesion to a religious life. The chairman alluded to the various nationalities before liim ; to the |;«theriiig of representatives of many sects ; and urged all to become a tnited body, and make the Church of England their religion. The last visit of Colonel Moody had been with an armed force to capture |be notorious Ned McGowan. All feeling of disntfection had now vanished ; 4 change had come over Americans, and they were valuing more the order ind security and genuine freedom of Britisli rule ; one of them remarked 4iis to me, when I asked them if they all meant to remain and settle dowti. ■ ' One of the ringleaders of the McGowan disturbance was there. I Ic fti n fine young man of superior qualifications, wlio had left his homo ii Boston for the gold mines. On Sunday I observed' him in church ihc of tlic most zealous of the choir; to-night he rose, and in a clever, Aort, well-expressed speech, proposed a vote of thanks to me for the way I had spoken of the American people, and to Colonel Moody for bringing his pppers, not for war but for improvement. I told him I hoped to visit him it the Bar. Ho said, *' You shall have a welcome from all the miners." **' Altogether, this occasion was one of deo[» interest, and to be long jtmembercd. In the morning, the contract had been signed for making a tad, to be the great road to the interior — perhaps to Canada and England, was a leading step in civilization and progress. Fitting was it to solemnize jllie occasion by expressions of respect for religion, and for advancing the kkuHQ of Christ's Church. ^' June 13. — A fine day. '^ The Chinese are coming up in great numbers, and spreading them- ielves over the Bars. They work over again the claims which have - through the sieve and blankets ; the sieve stops the stones and larger flomi particles, the blanket catches other atoms of gold, etc., and the quicksilvei 0ie retains the golden dust. Vi We first came upor a fine young Irishman, well spoken and glad of i On chat. He was clearing away tioes from a piece of high ground ready k eodsl working ; he came from Cork. A Welshman next attracted our notiei Beenj He was in a deep cutting ; had been two years on the Bar. 1 had con- pictij versation with many men as we passed through the extensive ground ; bii: aee. seldom could I introduce the subject of religion, even indirectly. werj On passing a tent we perceived a female inside. There was an iin- aocej usual order and neatness. She came out and directed us to a liou-i Qle] we sought. I asked a question or two further ; she said, " Pray conn I asl in."

I entered upon the subject of religion. She loved to attend chuich ; !iad been piously brouf'ht up. Her fatber used always to have family prayers, morning and night ; he was still living. She was very lonely, And had no female iociety. Her husband was an American. He came in, and asked us to excuse him as he was very busy. He seemed a fine young man. She had no Bible or Prayer-Book. I read a portion of Scripture, explained it, and piayed. She said, " Oh, how I remember all that ! " On going liway, she thanked us several times and said, " I never thought here I Jihould have a reverend gentleman to call upon me." : I asked one sturdy miner how it was that those like himself, who Jbad been out in California and here, for ten years, had not realized a fortune. He said, "Because, sir, the miner is always agitated by any riews of richer diggings, and frequently gives up good paying claims to Ibllow out some hearsay report, thinking to better himself, and frequently ||)cnds all and comes back poorer than he went. I myself, if I hear of imytliing better, cannot keep quiet ; I must be off. I once had 6,000 i|Dl]ars, but it all went away." § The excitement of gold-mining is great. The miners seem never to tire. QPhere is an interest in the work which always sustains them. I was teld cards and whiskey are their bane. They seldom play for money, but fcr drink, a dollar a game. A reckless man will go into Yale on Sunday, |nd spend twenty-five to forty dollars in drink and treating others. 9^ere are, however, many temperate men. A friend of mine, though an t\ miner, never touches spirit, only porter and ale. He always has a zen of English porter in his house (on the Bar). ^ Jvne 15. — Fine day. Colonel Moody left Yale. The Chinese had a "'and affair with crackers, in honour of his departure. ■fj: INDIAN LOADS CIIINKSE SUNDAY TRADING. '4 At eleven we left Yale for the trail towards the north. It lay over irteep hills and rocky paths. We met many Indians, with whom we dis- coursed : all '^^'cre pleased at the notice. One family were travelling the eame '.vaj, heavily laden — the father, mother, and two little girls. The l»aviest weight, of near 100 pounds, was carried by the woman ; one tie girl carried a very heavy load for a child. They were laden with liur and bread. They carry weights on their back aided by a strap over forehead. ; ?|\Ve met many Chinese : they were coming int^ the town for provisions. ^ our way back we met them loaded. They carry everything on two e||ds of a pole which rests on the shoulder. Their dress, for the most part, l|fms never to have been changed, for they aie exact realizations of the pictures on old china, which we have been accustomed from our youth to ii^. A Chinese shop is exactly what is painted ; every Chinese man in it, i^ry attitude, is just that quaint reality. Some of them, after a time, ••ept our customs, and buy our clothing, which improves their appearance. Gifce of those I met to-day told me he liod a wife and children at Canton. I isked why he did not bring them here. He said he had no means. Aj|other Chinaman, who stood b}', said, " This country is no place for ""iiesc ladies — their feet are too small ; they are too tine for the place.'' I El Ml illil 4(> BISHOPS JOURNAL. / At tlie four-mile house we branched off by the river trail, and presently came to a most lovely and most magnificent view. We were upon an eminence 1,100 feet above the river, which, beneath our feet, was winding its tumultuous way through mountain-passes. The view was exactly similar to that from the Baster in Saxon-Switzerland, where the Elbe passes out of Bohemia into Saxony through the mountains. I have a most vivid re- collection of tlmt view, and this was the very same, excepting that the mountains are higher and more grand, and that the river flowed con- tinuously in the mountains ; whereas the view from the Baster shows the P-lbe rushing forth into a country less rugged and with lower ranges. We descended this height of 1,100 feet by an almost perpendicular descent, and came to a lovely walk along the river ; at the foot was a garden, kc^)t by an American, of remarkable fertility ; some radishes we brought home. Further on, about a mile and a half, was a place of call, a wuy-side house, named " Hodges." Here we got some fine bacon, good potatoes, and coflEee. When I proffered payment they would take none. A booth was erected, where, on the 4th of July, was to be a gathering of Americans ; on our way back we met miners returnuig from Quesncllu River. They had not met the success they expected, though gold was abundant. They had walked from Quesnelle in about fifteen days, 4o'J miles. After our walk of some thirteen miles over a rough trail, we reached home, surprised to find how Uttle fatigued we were with our eight horns' excursion. The miners from the Quesnelle were*old hands. They had come away, not for the lack of gold, but because of the expense of provisions. Thev would have stayed could they have found diggings yielding twelve dollars a day. This was their aim, viz. nine months in the year, about 500^. They saiii there was no doubt about the plenty of gold ; and some miners were doiiif extremely well. There was more gold than on the Lower Fraser ; and, i provisions were cheaper, in every respect the Alexandria and Quesnellt country was preferable ; one exception alone being that the winters wci more severe. Everywhere, they said, was a magnificent grazing country you could go up on a hill top, and see in all directions, far and near, fiik grass lands. One of these men was named Clark, well known as an early and sue cessful miner near Yale. June 16. — Took a walk with Mr, Ciickmer up the Yale Creek. W went a considerable way along the beautiful stream, which is a continuoi: torrent, forming at every })oint a picture, dashing down the mountai gorge — waterfalls and cascades. On either side the mountains are coven with trees and undergrowth, and rise to an immense heijjht. There «j no road or trail ; we forced our way through the trees and stumps, ai tangled underwood, and from rock to rock.

This was vrtfair, considering all the shops are open, and more business on Sunday than jany other day ; in addition to which boats laden with freight come in from fHope, and many Indians arrive from the upper country to be packed .this evening, ready for a start by daybreak. , ? Some of the people are desirous a stop should be put to this Sunday itraffic. The miners universally make it their business day ; they divide Hheir profits on their claims, and then come in to the neighbouring stores. '^It will be difficult, no doubt, to break into the custom ; v,'e must, however, |bcar witness to the will of our God, a most merciful will, in giving a day ^)f rest, and trust by degrees to obtain a better observance. There were miners present both morning and evening. The services were .hearty ; a melodeon gave spirit.

If INDIANS AND PACK CARRYING. i I went into an Indian lodge ; there were four resting places or beds ; itk fire in the midst. Several squaws were there, mostly fine young women. :$. asked about the child of one. She said his name was Paul. I asked if te was baptized. She went to a box and drew out a paper which she anded to me to see. This was a certificate in French, that a Romish triest had baptized the son of Peter by the name of Paul. The child of nother squaw had also been baptized, but she had left her paper at Hope, J^o which place she belonged. :'§ There came in a middle-aged Indian ni; who sat down by an old one- leyed squaw. He was evidently interested 1;' om queri( m. I asked him whence he was and his name. He was from ivainl()op>^ and Mr. McLean was a fi-icnd of his (the head of the Hudson's Bay Conijiany's Station 4herc). He asked who we were. I said we were King (Joorgc's men, ,^.e. English, and clergymen ; he rose up, expressed his joy, held out his taud, shook hands, and took off his cap in respect. The traffic between Yale and the upper country, i.e. to Lytton, about aghty miles, is carried on the backs of Indians through the winter, and |ow also, for want of sufficient animals. To-day I was in the store of a Inman, Mr. Griffin. I saw packs made up for Indians to go off witli in the iorning. They weighed lOOlh., 1201b., and 1301b. each. The In^ans, fho were to carry them, had been and fitted them to their backs, .md had ranged them for starting. I could hardly lift them. One, a package long-handled mining shovels, was most awkward to carry. Yet their icks were to be carried along precipices, up almost pcrpendicidar heights, id for many a weary mile after mile, June 19. — A number of Indians were in Mr. Curtz' store preparing ^r their packs to the upper country to-morrow.

They are selling off their mining claims in California i0 come up here, and are purchasing claims of the white miners. " This lifry day (said Mr. Bullard,) a claim on Foster's Bar was bought by Chinese for 3,500 dollars." They are well and equally treated here, and lit© not taxed ; in California they are taxed 50 dollars a year. , The Indian race is comparatively happy bore ; everywhere King George's a|^n (English) are looked upon as their friends ; they come and shake tpinds and hang about us.

[We crossed the famed difficulty of the Jackass Mountain, without luble, our previous experience in hazardous paths had made us insen- Ue to smaller dangers ; this trail had been much improved, our horses it over instead of going round.

Owing to having to watch two hours, under the impression our horses re behind, whereas they were before us, we made but twelve miles, and Ramped in a lovely spot about half-past three.

JThis point of the Fraser is a wide plateau, yet with benches, rising likfl' steps up the river, but each covered with grass. Here is an entrance from the lower part of the Fraser, through the Cascade Range on the rig^ bank. Two small streams, called Lilloc and Cayoosh, fall into the mtiki stream from that opening ; a chain of lakes connects with the Plar- rkili river. This junction of two main routes, the only knov/n opening afc •resent into the upper country, renders Cayoosh of importance. There issfeo nmch mining in the neighbourhood. The scenery is very beautiful. The view from Cayoosh down the river — "Jlrith mountains on one side, and green slopes and trees, and the plateau 'which looks like a park) on the other — particularly pleasing. The soil is better than it is lower down. Gardens flourish. Oats and barley are in full ear : it doos not pay, however, to grow them for the grain, but only forthe hay, expense of threshing, &c. being too great. Jhib/ 8, Sunday. — In the morning we had Divine service in an upper rootti of a new store belonging to a Frenchman and he a llomanist. The room was well filled, principally by miners. The prayers were read by Mr.'Bheepsbanks. I preached from Matt. xiii. on the Hid Treasure. There was much attention. The door was grouped with Indians. Amongst odMJrs, came in a remarkably fine Indian ; he was the chief of the tribes hertabout, more particularly of the Fountain Indians. Ho was dressed in crwjpon and black. His fine flowing black hair hung over his shoulders. He »tood up and faced nic with grout intelligence the whole time. After service, he and another Indian remained. He shook hands and said in the Chinook, good, f)(>''>d ; pointed to INIr. Sheepshanks and then to mo, and" repeated, (jood^ good. I asked him if he knew what we had been d<^|g. He said yes, and pointed upwards, saying, ISackaUjj Tykec Papa. ' i ll lt- 64 BlbllUP S JOURNAL. He also crossed himself. The Romanists have from time to time visite those Indians. I showed him the Bible, and told him it was the word- the wahwah — of the Sackally Tyhce Papa. As far as I can yet trai these poor people, though they have gained an idea of the Sii|ti(i], Being, know nothing of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Chilhoosels (the chief's name) asked if we wore going to have soivi again. We told him yes, on the other side, in the evening. As we wi waiting by the river for the boat, we heard a loud and wild shout far on the mountain over our head. I looked, and there, on a point ovi hanging the precipice, was Chilhoosels on horseback. He waved i plumy cap, and shouted and disappeared. By-and-bye he was with us the boat, pulling an oar over the dangerous current. He went with u> the service, which was held in a saloon kept by a person named Bo\ We had a goodly attendance. There were several Indians. I prcatl upon the " power of the Gospel to elevate the character of man," I'l Col. iii. 1, "If ye then be risen with Christ." Chilhoosels lingered the door, and bid us good-bye After service, a respectable storekeeper expressed himself much plc.iv He war formerly a Jew. He thought a deep impression had been \mi. I asked Mr. Boyle, the keeper of the saloon, if he could without incom uience allow the room for Sunday next. " I shall be delighted, s I only wish you were going to be here many Sundays." Jidi/ 9. — I visited excellent gai'dens in great fertility. Potatoes, : markably luxuriant ; also cabbages, tomatoes, carrots, turnips, onions, a indeed all vegetables. Several fields also of barley and oats ; also Ind: corn. I rode out this evening with Mr. Elwyn and Mr. Sheepshanks to Sc Lake. The way to it is along a valley with two small rivers, called Lil and Cayoosh, but more properly Skumkain and Isammuk. On either > the mountain heights rose up in picturesque grandeur. Green foli. lined the banks of the rivers, which flowed parallel to each other : water was exquisitely clear. The lake is eighteen miles long. We i to the head. It is serene in scenery.

Every now and then one would start and shout towards the village, for some stray Indian who had not yet e ; and once an Indian darted off, and returned with several. There one very old man, with silvery hair : he was the village chief; his e was Isualtoc. Two others were prominent in repeating what was id, and in interpreting. I addressed them : told them who 1 was ; why )^1jnd come ; showed them the Bible ; told them it was the word of God ; WB knew what it contained, they did not : there was a message of love to tliem as well as to us ; we wished them to know this message from their Heavenly Father ; there were many friends of the Indians in King George's l4»nd, who wished the Indians to know the love of their God, and to lli|deistanfl V*'s word. I then spoke to them of God, of His attributes. I poiiitci .'f all were sinners, and that our good God was justly angry ; ai.a i Id of the love and work of Christ. They must accept mercy of Gv. 1 in Christ; they must repent; they must l)e good, else r death the wicked would be punished. Jesus Christ invited all to Ogfaie to Ilim — Indians, King George's men, Boston men — He loved all ; xp died for all. I showed them of His death and resuirection, and His a<(fension, and that He is above, our friend, and has provided a place for tlv^ lighteous. Two points I especially pressed, which they might re- lj||mber as distinctive of our visit. I spoke much of Christ ; made them repeat over and over again the name of Jesus, Jesus is their Friend : ana secondly, I held up to them in my hand the Bible, the word of God, by sign and language expressed the value with which we hold it. e poor people frequently became much moved ; discussed vehemently ,t was said — so I had occasionally to pause — and I believe received impressions, notwithstanding our stammering lips. Mr. Sheepshanks followed and made an effective address, after which I tlg^in spoke to them, and repeated the Ijord's Prayer, which I had trans- lated into Chinook, and which they repeated after me. I also spoke about the education of their children, then sang the Evening Hymn, which always impresses them, and in which to-night they mingled their voices. . jSonie of the townspeoitle came and listened, and were interested. Miners limped as they passed, and Chinese had an opportunity of being reminded tii^e was a God. For two hours the interest did not for an instant flag.

Then one by onil all came and shook hands, and still lingered around till we ourselves 1^ the spot. /w/y 11. — Kode to Bridge Kiver, about four miles up ; this stream flows mil the Eraser on the right bank. It differs from all other streams I have which flow into the Eraser, by being thick and milky. The Thompson others are singularly clear and transparent. !rhc Indian name for Bridge River is Hoichton. We visited the Indians there, and found them intelligent.

The Fountain (>f. called from a Frenchman) is an open plain. 1 lore were three houses ; one. a store, kept by an Italian, named Lorenzo Littora. Mr. Eiwyn and Mr Sheepshanks accompanied me. Lorenzo, gave us luncheon — bread, cheese radishes, raisins, claret, and would make no charge. SPOKAN GARRY. I have before mentioned this interesting Indian. Curious enough, 1 tlii day rode one of his horses. A gentleman of the Hudson's Bay Conipaii recently visited Colville. In that neighbourhood are the Spokan Iiulian. of whom Garry is the chief. The Indian desired to make a presci to Mr. Dallas, and bid him select one of the best of his horses. Tl fleetest was chosen. Mr. Dallas brouffht him thus far and could not biii him on, so sold him to Mr. McDonald, who this day allowed me the ii of him. Packing is one of the most lucrative employments. , A train of twolt or eighteen horses and mules very soon pays the expense of first cost, iii then great profits are made. Tiie packers are principally Mexicans ; tla; are, however, many Americans. I met this day a train under the conduct of a very odd looking Ju- , begrimed packer. He had a broken-in, slouched wide-awake. I v , introduced to him. His speech showed him to be an educated Eiiali j gentleman. A few years since he was a smart officer with his reoiiin j in Canada. He came to California, where he followed " packing." ]; now packs on British soil with the best horse-pack in the colony. ^ Jnl>/ 13. — IMost of the morning I have had Indu-ns at my tent.

They Most or the Indians profess to know of the Sackally Tyhee Papa, Gi us to Chief Father. They point upwards; they say He sees all, is all-win^ pi and strong, and good, and never dies.

We had a fair attendance, though not so good as the Sunday boilre when the service was in the evening. One only of the female sex HttHnded, — the only white person in fact living there, a pleasing ])erson, Iftil. Neufeldo. One other lived at a little distance. Iler husband was prWent.

They all repeated it together, and they shouted Ammalc, Aminal' Kloosh, Kloosh, ffood, good. 1 then addressed the chief, Chilhooaels, ver solemnly, and said : " All these people are your children ; you call all tl tribe your children. I want you and all of them to become the chiUlron Jesus. You arc their earthly chief and father, be you and they the lovir and obedient children of Josus, your heavenly Chief and Father. JI Sheepshanks and I look to Jrsus ; we are His children, be you His cliildi, too. Then one day wc shall all dwell together in heaven, and there w be only one language." I am sure our addresses made an impression upon these intercsti: peo)>le, especially upon the thoughtful Chilhoosels. I wish, indeed, 1 1^ a Missionary to leave amongst them. The example of the white m amongst them is sad, and they need every help. They are a simple poo; as yet ; but the youth of both sexes, alas, are growing up precocious vice. We were with the Indians several times. In the course of the aft( iioon I explained to them the eclipse of the sun, which is to take place onMV nesday. Great discussion ensued ; one old chief, Le Crow, from Kamlo' of the Shuswap tribes, was vcv "loquent, and exhibited fine gesture. ] spoke another language, but ii..iny present understood him.

Of course we directed them fi'om Nature up Nature's God ; and, while showing our superior knowledge, pointed out • blessings of the knowledge of God, which we also possessed.

THK CHIEF CHILUOOSELS LKAVE-TAKINO BY INDIANS. iOn our way to the mining bars this evening we met three horsemen ooijiing towards Cayoosh at a tearing pace : they were Indians. Two who cwiie on first, at once pulled up and greeted us with enthusiasm. One wo knew, the other was a fine boy of about thirteen. The latter told us he was the son of Chilhoosels, to whom he pointed as coming up on the third hoMe. Chilhoosels took off his cap, and greeted us affectionately. The h»|^ines3 of these three Indians in meeting us was remarkable. The boy will especially interesting ; as though Chilhoosels had told his children an§ friends to regard us highly. As we parted, the chief said his heart Wiit with us, and hoped our hearts would follow him. There is something striking in Cliilhoosels. He is thoughtful and benign in countenance. Two Indians were with me yesterday who were full of the good points of this chief: " Other chiefs often got angry. There was Swegels, the chief of the Hoichton Indians, who beat and sometimes killed his people ; but Chilhoosels was never angry, and prayed O&ea to the Almighty Father." ij[uli/ 18. ---My camp this morning was surrounded with Indians come to :|ee me off. A party of four equestrians came several miles for the bA purpose. j|or two or three hours they waited, and came down to the water-side, ao^fwished us good-bye. There were women also and children. These Wttil away first. One man came to my tent-door, and said the women going away, and wished to see me. They had been there I should three hours. I shook hands with all. They brought also their chil- I, and held them up for me to shake their little hands. We crossed srry : our horses had been swam over earlier. Here was Chilhoosels m|png to say good-bye, after packing and saddling our four horses. I tonid the wives and children of Chilhoosels also waiting ; they had all some distance, and had given up work for the time, which was of squence to them. 1 , ,■ 1 ■ t 1 ^ 1 • ,?

My paci on this occasion was a young man not very well up to the art. Sew- experienced packers were engaged at the Ferry packing their own anima and two very kindly and disinterestedly gave my man very valuable aidin liints. One of them was pulling a :'ope with all his might attached tot pack of one of my horses when it broke, and he was precipitated ba under the feet of another of my animals which, frightened, started a kicked. The kick was with great force, but happily it missed the k and struck the back and the shoidder of the worthy packer. I felt nit grieved. 1 left him sitting down. I spoke to him of the narrow escape liad had, for had the blow struck the head a fractured skull must k resulted, and how thankful, therefore, we should be to Almighty G He was maidy and patient. I could not help, however, thinking much nl him all day. How near we continually are to eternity, yet how contimis is the gracious hand and care of our heavenly Father, ready to avert fi us many an evil. Wo did not get clear away till two o'clock.

The morning was very hot and the only refuge, and that but slight, fiom the heat, and where most air could be got, was my tent door. I sat in the tent door in the heat of tk ? day.

By far the greater number art Chinese : at least one hundred have passed by this morning ; then Indians then miners of all nations. That which all are least disposed to listen tu is the pm-port of my mission. Then the variety of language increases tit difficulty. Unbelief might say, religion can never flourish here ; the Lor; will never establish His kingdom here. So Abraham might have argued It is the same faith which sustained him, that alone can sustain us. S that our earnest prayer must be, " Lord increase our faith." Then i due time the mountain of difficulty shall vanish, and a highway shall V. made for the Lord and His Christ. It is difficult to get an Indian at this time to work at any price.

Last week, up the Thompson forty miles, two friends \m at work, partners in a gold claim, they quarrelled, one took out a knilt another a revolver. Barr was killed by Patten's revolver, and the latie has escaped. Mr. Bavid Potts, now at Lyttori, states he has part of a claim £ Caraboo.

There was something moi-e pleasing about him than usual with )ie C'liincsi", and this, notwithstanding his Tartar countonance ; the Indians looked upon him with an evident sense of their own superiority. It' was anuisiiig to see their patronizing manner when they spoke to |oliii Chinaman. They ludd the Chinese in great contempt. Both ices, however, respect ourselves. It was an interesting circumsta?icc ]at iMissionaiies from the Cliurch of England should be sitting in the jidst of Chinese and Indians, in that wild spot, seeking an entrance jfilliin their hearts for the saving faith of Jesus.

They said that Chinese in large pan had been to thein, chari';ing them with tlie murder, and saying they slio; soon be very numerous, and then they would kill all the Indians. L plained to them, that in Britisli territory no one could take the lawi his own hands. I said the law was equal against all, and for all. ] murder, d(>atli was the punishnient. The ^Nlost ]Iigh had said that! will was that, " Whosoever sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his lil be shed," and that it was all the same whether King Geor e's \i JJoston man. Chinaman, or Sawasli ([ndian), Avere guilty, the nuinfcreni suffer death. 1 said it was wrong to charge the Indians with this iiiii! unless there was proof, and they might rest assured, that as long as i obeyed the laws and did right, they would have no hurt, and no one slii touch them with inipimity. 'i'hey were much pleased with this assuiu' and I trust the feeling that was rising would be allayed. The Sowanna Indians who were engaged in gambling did not ^' friendly. I asked ihcni about the Chinese murder ; they said they li nothing about it. I asked if they had caught any salmon; thcy> "JIalo salmon ;" this was false, for a h'ne salmon was hanging up their heads ; to this I |)ointed and they laughed. There was sonicti mysterious about this party of Imlians— no women — all stout and wnii I cannot help thinking the impression was upon them that the Clii meditated revenge, and that they were prepared to lesist ; T coiilil however, gather this from them. On eoniing within six or seven miles of Uoston IJar, we [»;is-' tree on which a jiaper was afiixed with the following writing: — "A yards from this place i> (he body of a dead Chinaman, under the liili appears to have been murdered.

Here I met Wahilah again, the chief of the Indians of this place. I had talked nuich to him when last this way, meeting him at Kpo.Uh of the Anderson, which I now crossed for the last time. Tlie ascent v very gradual, and at seven o'clock I came to an encampjnent of workii engaged upon the trail. They told me to my surprise ami pleasuie tli; was some way past the summit. In about an hour I came up with a ti of mules and horses, and passed them in a short time. The trail being t wide enough for one animal, it is difficult to get past a train. For ai ten miles the trail was bad, i.e. soft and muddy, owing to tlie fouiula! being rotten wood. It was a succession of holes, roots of trees intei'seit the ])ath, which made it very dangerous except at a walking pace. T(»\v;i the foot of this mountain 1 saw some beautiful cascades, some, I siip[ir not less than 100 to 150 feet in fall. At length, in four hours from start: I reached the river on this side of the mountain, and entered the picture- valley of the Quequealla, which flows into Hojte. A region of magiiitir timber was now entered, and the trail lay along the river, diverging' i and then to gain a higher flat, or to avoid a difficulty, or to save distni At twelve I stopped to luncheon and to rest my horse. I had been tin quarters of an hour when Mr. Sheepshanks joined me. We stopped a! additional period, and then went on, the trail being for the most part v good, and aftbrding frecpient opportunity foi' a canter. We met a j)ack w with barley, and purchased a feed for our horses on the spot. \\\' t gently along at the last, and reached Hope ut eight. Tlie day clearni early, and the evening was sweet.

TIJAIL TO HOPE — EFFFX'TS OF THE JOURNEY. 77 'he mountain region is striking. One day this will be a favourite ride to le upi)cr country. The difficulty is the want of food for twenty miles twcen the foot, by the Anderson, to Hope, It will atford some idea of the size of timbei', when I state that in tho iBbove distance I rode over three rivers on bridges uf a single tree. T^ J till/ 29, Simihnj. — Two services. I preached in the morning on the tservaucc of the Sabbath. Mr. Pringic read morning prayer: Mr. u't'iislianks, the Litany. The attendance was not so good as it ought to have been, but was fair. I dined between the services with Colonel and Mrs. Moody. Jiili/ 'M. — ^[y two pack-horses having arrived yesterday, I went to my tent to-day ; Mr. Pringle having hospitably housed me for two nights. EFFECTS OF THE JOURXEY. Most people have expressed their opinion that 1 am looking altered from the effects of this jo(uney. I certainly have had a rougher time than I over experienced, and have h.^d to do some amount of hard, physical labour. My dress has become tattered, my shoes worn out, and my appearance anything but clerical. As I entered Hope, near the bridge, Mr. llutcliins said, " Why, sir, you look like a miner." I was in a coloiued woollen shirt, no waistcoat, no neck-cloth, and coat in holes. Yet I have enjoyed my joui'uoy nmch. I thank rny Heavenly Father for Hie care and protection over me, and I feel gratitude for the opportunity Ho has given me of speaking in His name, and of seeking the souls of my fellow-sinners. But, oh my God, how deeply do I deplore my shortcomings, and niy deiiciencies ! How much have I lacked the love of souls in my heart, and how faint has been the dedication of myself to Him who died for me. Giant me Thy abundant Grace in the future, that all these precious opjiortunities of good may be didy improved by me, to Thy g^at glory and tho welfare of immortal souls, and to tho blessing of my own weak, helpless, and sin-laden self. Tbis evening I drank tea with Colonel and Mrs. Moody, and discussed thf} pla!i of a church for Hope. I met during tho day Mr. Ogden, who is the Hudson Bay Company's agent at Fort James Stewart Lake. Ho has been many years there, living among the Indians, and comes away but once a year with tho brigade. T met also a promising young man, Mr. Saunders, who is in the Hudson igr Company's employ ; going to take charge of their fort at Alexander ; a Mr. ^IcKoy, going to Cayoosh and Kamloops, with his young wife. *!?'. !> two last, I trust and b(>lieve, will in their resjtective distr'^^ts do all they can for the progress of religion, and (he Church of England in par- ticular. ^?i/// 31. — I was writing in my tent all the eiuly part of the day, l[|>ad also several little jobs of mending my dollies. About four o'clock a ftorm of heavy rain, and thunder and liglitning camo on, which lasted tip seven. I walked out afterwards, met and talked with a Mexican, with Indians, and with a respectable mat» who had just arrived after a hard tramp from ]^k Creek, where, ho anid, were some 300 niiiiors doing well. 78 lUSlIOP S JOURNAL. Au(just 1. — A clouily and rainy day. Spent most of the morning writing and mending my clotlics ; in the aftornoon looked at the cliunli lots with Mr. l^ringle, wlio dined with mo in my tent.

"licic must be made, sooner or later, discoveries of rich quartz — the Kiice of tlu! <'on a field so iillanifestly and so urgently calling for religiiius means. Happy. I am tore, will our dear friends in England be, who have stirred themselves so IMbly, to find that they have been most opportune in their aid, and have ipabled the Gospel to be preached where no witness for Christ was heard ; Isld have, moreover, caused that at least the reproach of neglect, and late, ^dy aid, shall not rest, in this Diocese, upon the Mother Church ol JS^gland. The state of religion is as low as it can possibly ho amongst civilized peoi>le ; there is no recognition of it. The Sunday is a day of business, ARd pleasure, and revelling. Some of the mining class arc open profaners Of the name of God, and some are what are called " Free-thinkers." )rals, [ fear, are equally far from what is right in the sight of God. »nie have acknowleilged to me their dislike of the ungodly and immoral life iich thev, in common with those around them, are leadino;. With others, w|l is a matter of indilference ; they will speak of their acts and disparage r||igion with the most unblushing boldness, and without an effort. It has (pen struck me that, amongst a large class, who have been trained under l^comqtt system, faith and shame have departed utterly from them, fe complain in England of the little hold religion has upon many of the itizan class in our largo towns ; but I never met with anything at all ^proaching to tlie calculating and matter-of-course infidelity which pre- ils amongst some who have been trained in America. They seemed to |kve had full license to preserve evei-y unfaithful thought, and never to Ive been reached by any witness ov iiiHuence of truth. Literally, they fc " without (iod in the world.'' 82 mSIloP's JOIJUNAL. ^1 ' ii If i {'■ Yet, with nil tliis, there i.s n kiiidiicss, and even polish, in the AnioiicaJ miner, whidi is ((Mfaiiily very |»lcasiiig, I was eveiTwlieie kiiidlv' received, and in some cases, I believe, \V( eonied for religion's sake.

Wo shall be nowhere, we do not win these to the pure faith of Jesus, and I)lend them together i the fold of the Iveformed Chuich. The difficulty is great : wc need, wi; the Divine help, men of special gifts and zeal. The unsettled character of the mining class is another difficulty; tin are restless ; they feel no spot their home, even for a while. ILii they will not identify themselves with institutions of the neighboui'liouii - readily ; then we have Indians and increasing bands of Chinese. T! expense of living is great: during my journey I fretpiently paid 10 ccmi; per pound for flour, i.e. 1 I.s. !(/. a stone ; 45 or 50 cents. }>er pound t bacon, i.e. 2s. a pound ; fresh meat, milk, potatoes, frequently not to I' liad except at a very high price. Then labour for building is very lii^: carpenters getting 1/. a day, and even Iiuliaiis expecting (Is. and 1(Ja. day ; sawn timber very high. These matters will improve no doubt ; k for the present the expense will be a considerable difficulty, and pio- heavily upon our funds. DI.STANCES TRA^'ELLED EXPERIENCE ENCOURAGEMENT.

I liave often seen the glistening tear fill the eye at the sound of the tidintis of a Saviour's love. I have seen the sign of smitten conscience manilested in the flushed look of the rough and hardy siimer. I iiave been HWhed (Jod speed on my work in accents which left no doubt of sincerity. I iiave still sounding in my ears the last words fioni a miner's party — ''Be suie, sir, and send us a minister, and we will support liim," words at tljuB moment which drew tears to my own eyes ; and 1 have the fullest piTBiiasion, did not God give such encouragement, that His word spoken, «n by such feeble lips as ours, cannot go forth and return void, but will aoeomplish that whereunto it has been sent. One case I may here mention. In my journal of the 29th of June, 1 hafc noted an instance of reproof to a swearer. The liev. ^Ir. Crickmer, one of my most zealous and useful clergy was with me. He afterwards returned alone the same way. An interesting letter from him gives me an aQOount of his journey, and the happy opportunities he had of liolding (M^iccs. Ho says, *' One case, especially, I must adduce which showed tb^ good resulting from my going over the gi'ound so soon again. Your Lwdship reproved a man for swearing — an impudent but pleasant sort of fi^e ; it wonderfully struck liim ; it gave me a good opportunity in con- ▼i&ation to follow up the wound ; he came to the service. Next day when I !^ot to Ensley's Flat, there was tlie man again. His countenance wais changed ; his eye sank before mine, not with a cowed, but with a subdued look, which told that some chord had been struck when that man was rcjiroved for swearing, which promised, under God's blessing, to pro- duce no small change in his mind, and may be, under future Providence, in his life also." I had the gratification moreover to find that after my vbit, and by the zealous efforts of Mr. Pringle and Mr. Crickmer, in the two towns of Hope and Yale, steps had been taken to lessen the Sunday deaeciation. So that in the mi-.st of some trials and difficulties, we are not left with- out encouragement. May we more and more be stimulated by the precept and the promise of the Apostle, '< Be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the voik of the Lord, forasmuch as yc know that your labour is not in vain h the j.ord." :,and afoot.

I mcnti >netl in my last iiy im,. tion to visit liarclay Sound, and a new settlement recently formed on west coast of this island. I have been much interested hy my visit. Not the least interesting feature of this settlement is its jiroxiinitv numerous Indian tribes which have not yet become contaminated bv vices of Europeans. Drunkenness is hardly known amongst them. TL, speak a different language from the Indians here and on the nordi-t," coast. I had several interesting conferences with them. I am \ii anxious to open a Mission to them. The principal tribe is called Sheshaat. The language is spoken by all tribes for 200 miles up tlio w | or Pacific coast of Vancouver. The southern and south-eastern toiigu- the C'ov'itcheti, for which we have our Indian Mission here; ami other, or third language of the island, prevails along the cast or iii> coast for 1 suppose 100 miles.

They were told such deeds could not now be alluv The laws of England now prevail. If they are wronged, the law f avenge. They replied — " You tell us about the laws of England. \ say they are good and you expect us to obey, but how do wc know laws ? If they are so good, why do you not send teachers to us ? Ti are our neighbours, the Chimsyans ; you have sent them teachers. Tl j; can read and write. They make us now ashamed. We cannot stand before the Chimsyans." They referred to our Church Missionary w amongst the Chimsyans at Fort Simpson. SERVICES. Barclay Sound is a bay of some twelve miles in width and twelve in do| it is studded with islands, and many small rivers flow into it ; at the I. is i\w, Alberno Lake — reminds me of IjOcIi Ness — extending twenty in inland, and at the head of this again is a circular bay about two niik iliameter.

There were pieseiit the two principal Scfs. I spoke to them in their O'vn language upon a few simple subjects [roli'fion, such as, God made 'lii things — made man good; sin came, and 1(1, God disjileased — .Tesui? came — J lis love and work — God reconciled ^Heaven — Hell. The Indian agent, Mr. I3antield, told me they under- (1. I trust some glimmer of truth may have reached those two men, that several of theii' tribe may have been touched with a wish to like inquiries. One Indian chief brought me presents, and I gave him the other a blanket each. v <- [Lieutenant llelly and myself, with three Indians, started in a canoe for river Cleestaikuitt, which runs into the bay. We passed two small lers : on either side were rich prairies and meadows, covered with gra.ss, idy for herds of cattle. A'aried trees bowed down upon the watei-. i)ble Douglas ])ine8 150 or 2t)0 feet, cedars, maples with the biightest llow tints of auburn, the nider, and a tree with leaves of deep crimson, ed the bank. Wild-fowl flew around in abundance — geese and ducks Vulnerable. The river literally swarmed with salmon. They swam linst the canoe, they scrambled out of the way, they rushed up to shoal Iter, where they floundered about ; the Indians struck them in the side, knocked them on the head.

I^ext day we visited the Indians again ; we found them disturbed, and man came past us with his face blackened, a sign of anger and wai'. heard there was great excitement, caused, in part, by the coming of the -boat ; and, in part, from notice having been given them of our views becting the ill-conduct of one of them. All looked to the chief, how- pr, and we heard afterwards, from our Jacob, one of our canoemen, that )nf'erence was held with good intentions, and with a design to pacify the I'y gun-boat.

'he following communication was recently received from the Alexandku Charles Garrett, Principal of the Victoria 3si(iu to tlie Nativf^ Indians. It was written as a letter to his tliiT, and, probably, strict rules of propriety might require 3I1 of its language to be modified, and many of its expressions led ; but it is felt that any Jittempt to bring it into shape more 3d for ordinary publication would destroy the freshness he pict vires it contains, and lessen its real value. Some L'ence is claimc^d for it u* der the circumstances. Victoria, V.I. Dec. 21, 1860.

DIFFICUI TIK8. 4. — On visiting through the pu,mp was struck with the large num- [suifcrin^ from disease. White vice is doing its sad and destructive with ianix^ntable speed and certainty. . . . Spoke to them of God, I Soinc laughed; othrrs admitted the evil of their conduct, but poverty ; others agair looked grave and thoughtful. 1 ' . — Sad lay (»1' i was a pile of bread consisting of several loaves, and at the other end a good-sized cask of treacle. Before each individual were three and soe| times four vessels — tubs, dishes, pans, basins, and what not. A lio*;; waiters moved about the ring, some carrying biscuits, some bread, J some treacle, and depositing them in the vessels before each of the ii:| ])any. These waiters had their faces painted in the most fantastic sn| but had on clean dresses of flannel and looked respectable. The trcatf task was presided over by an individual of fierce and forbidding a< who added to his natural hideousness by painting his face in a man: which distinguished him from his neighbours, but did not give !iiii| pleasing look. He was naked to the waist, his body b^ing tattooed \ some blueish substance. He wore trousers, but protected them injury by an apron of sack. Thus attired, and armed with a bugej ladle, he dispensed with unceasing liberality the sweets of the trcasl committed to his charge. When the vessels which all had brought i full, and a complete clearance had been made of the biscuits, ttc, l»eople arose in a body and retired to their huts. On inquiring into the meaning of all this, I ascertained that a cliiof| died, and that his friends, to mark the greatness of his dignity, andoti| grief and respect, had given this feast to all the members of their: here. This is their constant practice, they told me, and is common ail ad the tribes of Queen Charlotte Island. These were Hydah Iiij irom thai, island. THEATMENT OP THE SICK AND DEAD.

Gradually, jthe ideas dawned ipon her benighted mind, her face changed its expres- of sadness for one of inquiry, passing on to desire and anxiety, and Ihig in gladness and joy. She dismissed her tears, and for a time forgot sorrow. Never did I see the glorious hope of an infant's interest in |blood -shedding and kingdom of Jesus produce such a decided and glad- |e effect. SACRED FKAST OF THK 80XOEKS. ec. IG. — When crossing the bridge to the Indian School to-day, I j astonished b^/ a very loud noise proceeding from one of the houses of jngecs. Guided by the soimd, I entered the house to sec what was Ig on. For a time, so addling was the din, I could make nothing At length, by force of inquiry, and pressing through the crowd to iront, I witnessed the following scene : — A space, about forty feet by kty feet, had been carefully swept ; three largo bright fires were burning the earthen floor ; round three sides of this space a bench was fixed, which were pocked, as close as they could fit, a crowd of young |en. I do not think there were any men or boys among them, but being only the light of the fires, I could not see very distinctly, of these individuals was armed with two sticks. In fiont of the. , (iding all the way round the rectangular si)ace, was a breadth of white Under this calico the row of sticks exhibited tliemselves. Upon tho id, in the corner on my right, was a young man provided with a good- box, which he had fixed upon an angle and used as a drum. Also, \e ground, still nearer to me, sat on old man and an old woman ; and flat the ground, apparently dead, lay a female chief, with her head re- kg in the lap of the old crone ; while around me there stood a motley of all tribes, staring first at me and then at the stfu/e. All this the choir upon the benches kept up a sort of mixture between a howl wail, while they beat time upon the bench with the forest of sticks rhich they were armed, our friend upon the ground making his wooden [eloquent of noise. It is utterly vain to attempt to give any description o2 I { 92 INDIAN MISSION. I ( f ■ of tho terrible noise which was thus occasioned. This continuing for altntitj twenty mimiti-s, the female chief began to show signs of life; first, l>vj| slight motion of the hands, then of the arms, then of the shoulders, and nJ on, until her whole frame became violently agitated ; the din and tlitj uproar increasing in intensity as her agitation irjcreased. At length 4} shook herself into a sitting position, when, with hair dishevelled and glaiin.' eyes, she formed a singularly repulsive spectacle. Her agitation incrcaHHlj until there could have been no part of her body which did not shake; tk storm and rattle of sticks, and the howling unmeaning wail stuadil; keeping pace with her ; when, suddenly, at a motion of her hand, thir; was an instantaneous silence. They watched her narrowly, and her evir motion was observed. Upon a signal they began again, and stopped « suddenly. At length she got upon her hunkers, and in that not very gnuv {'.d position, jumped about between the fires. Presently, as her inspimiiu increased, she raised herself and ultimately got herself erect. Haviii? then, by a series of very ungraceful motions, completed a journey rour. the fires, she came to a stand at the end of the rectangle next whi the old man and woman were sitting. The music stopped, and there w» a perfect stillness, while the old man rose slowly and opened a box, aii taking out a pair of scissors, proceeded solemnly to the heroine, and c off a lock of her hair, which he immediately placed in the fire near one e: of the rectangle where she was standing. This being done, such a chit; and rattle and yell were raised as very nearly deafened me. A sig: stopped it in a moment. Then the old woman gravely rose, and openin. '^ X, took out two handfuls of white down, and, proceeding to the c(i: ', placed one handful in it ; and then, passing on to the other fire, [ir • nded to deposit the other, but did not, so far as I could see. T eon)pleted, the noise began again with redoubled energy. My time Ixi now exhausted, I was obliged to leave this strange but interesting seem It was refreshing to breathe the sea air again, and gaze upon the li. of day, after emerging from so unearthly a place. Pursuing my «, I met a man carrying two large boilers. I cross-examined him about : din inside, and ascertained that they always did so— a favourite metiu*! escaping from an unwelcome question. I then inquired about the boil when he told mo that the female chief, who was playing her part wi among the women, would presently give an abundant feast of wild-fo« all the men, and that he was bringing down the boilera to cook the s.i: He further stated, that all the men were assembled in his house, awai the gift, and that, if I wished, he would gladly show me where they « I accompanied him joyfully. I found a vei'y large house, carefully s« with several good fires burning brightly upon the earthen floor, and ai fifty or sixty men assembled, in patient expectation of the birds. I quired into the nature of the musical entertainment going on. Thcji me that was their " Tamanoes," or sacred feast ; that they always plij and danced so during the latter half of the last month in the year;; they did so for two reasons — first, to make their hearts good for the cni^ year, and, secondly, to bring plenty of rain, instead of snow ; that if3 did not do so, a great deal of snow would come, and they should be" much afraid. I told them that God made the rain and snow to t ;| when He thought best, but that they did not know about God, or His :|f wisdom and love. I said I wanted to moke them know what God sii^l KEV. A. C.

L I m CONSECRATION OF TRINITY CHURCH, i ■ < -l^' consjicration of the church of the holy trinity, new westminster. (From the New WedmingUr Times of December 8th, 1860.) On Sunday last (Advent Sunday) the interesting ceremony of the con] Becration of our church took place. The edifice, which commands a lovclij view of the river, mountains, and surrounding scenery, is built in the earlj Btyle of Gothic architecture, and, thanks to the skill and watchful carci our enterprising fellow-citizens, Messi*s. Manson and White, to whom [\ building was entrusted, \i presents the fullest richness of appearance ; well as the closest consistency with the rules of ecclesiastical architoctiirJ Externally, the porch, belfry, east and west windows, and general appcaij ance, at once convince the beholder that he is viewing a building crccttf for no ordinary or secular purposes ; while the interior immediately co:{ firms that impression, bidding you with silent and solemn power to kavj the world without, and to prepare for the worship t)f Him whom til Heaven of heavens cannot contain, and who yet humbleth Himself to (lttt| in the midst of His people. The inteiior consists of a nave, two ai,< chancel, vestry, and recess for organ. The uprights and rafters are ofti and the walls of the best cedar. The roof is supported upon two rowsj massive pillars, with Gothic arches between, a series of arches also spaiiniij the nave and giving a rich and ecclesiastical appearance to the wlioll The internal fittings are of the handsomest description. The seats, wliii have been presented by various individuals whose hearts warmed towapl the completion of the good work, are of fir, trimmed with the fom«| California red wood. The lectern or bible-desk (a gift) is of fir andt Columbian cotton wood; the poppy heads, of red wood, are admiratj carved. The pulpit, also a gift, is of maple, red wood, and cotton woi skilfully contrasted, and presents an exceedingly rich and elegant appoil ance. The communion-rails, designed by one of the Royal Engine are beautifully executed. The whole building reflects the highest crel both upon the taste of the committee, who approved of the plans (prcsciiil by Captain A. R. Lempriere, R. E.), and upon the builders, Messrs. Maml and \^niite, who have performed their part in a truly workmanlike skilful manner. At eleven o'clock, the Bishop, preceded by the Clergy, and followed | the Registrar, proceeded from the vestry to the porch door, where theyw^ met by a body of the inhabitants. The petition for consecration having \ read and assented to by the Bishop, his Lordship, followed by the Clo- proceeded up the middle aisle repeating the twenty-fourth Psalm, deed of consecration was then read by the Bishop's commissary, the E. Cridge, Rector of Christ Church, Victoria, and, having been signed| the Bishop, was handed to the registrar. The Consecration Service' read by the Bishop, and the Morning Service by the Rev. J. Sheepsliao^ M.A., Rector. The psalms and the hymns, " Veni Creator," and \ hundredth Psalm, were heartily sung, the whole congregation joining i and Richardson's beautiful anthem, " Oh how amiable," was rcndeij with a taste and precision worthy of many a cathedral.

The Epistle was read by the Rev. E. Cridge, [d the Gospel by the Rev. R. J. Dundas. iTlie consecration sermon was pieachcd by the Rev. A. C. Garrett, B. A., hncipal of the Indian Mission, Victoria, from St. John iii. 16. Having Bwn that neither reason, philosophy, nor speculation, could ascei-tain the jrin and nature of Christianity, which Divine Revelation and experience re unfolded, he proceeded, in clear and forcible terms, to point out the asc, the price, and the object of human redemption, dwelling in warm Iguafc upon the vastness of Divine love as exhibited in the salvation of L • and concluded by urging a twofold duty upon his audience. — First, [niaintain in a state of beauty and efficiency the building so happily ipletcd and so solemnly consecrated ; secondly, to attend with constant ilarity the means of Grace thus brought within their reach.

The debt, we are happy ;, is only 228^. — a fact which leflects the greatest credit upon the rgy and liberality of our citizens. \n the afternoon, the Litany was read and an infant baptized.

The clergy not supported out of the B-namcd fund have their incomes temporarily secured from three ch of England societies, to the extent of 1,700/. a-year ; the total te for incomes of clergy and teachers in the colony, amounting to about }/. a-yenr ; towards which the annual permit contributed in the colony jsw rentS; church collections, school fees, and other sources, appears to )iit 1,200/. a-year.

Orqanization. — This is of two kinds, parochial and diocesan. The lial in England consists of rector, churchwardens, and vestry. In [cases there is also a select vestry chosen by the general vestry. In plonics and in the United States the same organization is followed, tino- that for a select vestry a church committee is substituted. He cd that the constitution of a parish should be rector, churchwarden, committee, and vestry, this last consisting of pewholders, and the bttee elected annually by them. The church committee will strengthen Iministration of churchwardens and ministers, unite the energies of learnest members of the congregation, and create a more general Ht. Diocesan organization in its complete form consists of an l)ly of the bishops, clergy, and lay delegates, meeting annually for ition and decision upon many subjects of importance to the welfare Church and the success of the Gospel. In nearly all the British this organization is complete under various titles, as convention, assembly, or council. This, however, cannot be completed at once, rogations are not sufliiciently formed ; and, moreover, there are legal lof difficulty requiring consideration. He then entered into the nature difficulties. Church Society. — Pending the formation of this more perfect or- fcion, he proposed there should be, as in Canada, Australia, Nova and other colonics, a Church society, to be incorporated for holding id to be supported by subscriptions and church collections gathered parts of the diocese for support of ministers, building of churches, ^es, and schools, widows and orphans of clergy, and other objects, tered by a committee chosen by subscribers. He instanced the Church Society, with an income of 9,000/., and that of Newcastle, lia, increasing in five years from 531/. to 5,323/.

The Rev. A. C.

The third ■ ^solution was as follows : — " That until the full diocesaJ ganization bj synod or assembly of bishop, clergy, and lay delegntej constituted, a Church society be at once formed to carry out the folloij objects: — *' (a) The building of churches, schools, parsonages, «fec. *' (6) The support of missionary clergy and teachers. ** (c) The holding and managing of landed and other propei-ty, anil( purposes connected with the welfiare of the Church and the spread of J Gospel."

It APPEARS DESIRABLE to insert here a brief account o!| voyages of the Missionaries engaged on the Bishop's sta| order to render the narrative complete (which it is hoped J Report will supply) of the progress of the Mission duricj first year. The Rev. R. J. Dundas and the Rev. J.

Royal Mail Steam Packet "Seine," Wednesday, July i, 1860. ?e just come from our first service on board. Let ine try to give you lea of it. first : I was introduced to the captain before we left Southampton ; a Igeutleman from Duulop's office took particular pains and trouble to '•■;-.''»,rrJl!Ww""f 102 V0YA(n<:s uF missionahiks.

Monday and Tuesday passed without, any of us feeling very much si:j into our places; but this morning (VVetIncsda>) 1 spoke to the captain a our desire to have worship on board, and he ai. once conducted me to,i( in the fore part of the ship, where we would be least disturbed, and, lini seen the place, I settled with each of our party that we should comniciice| day, at ] 1 o'clock. The order of service was as follows : — Brown commenced by reading the Sentences in the Morning Prayer, before the Lord's Prayer, and read on to the end of the third collect. Glover then read the Second Lesson for the day. I then read the Litany. On Friday we propose to read the Morning Service witliout the Litany, It is impossible to make arrangemcnis for daily prayers (I moan, of cfii:| as a congregation) ; our own cabins are loo small. Four people could not J into them at a time; both public cabins are so entirely occupied by the piuj gers, Spanish, Ponuguese, French, Americans, &c, &c. that the ditliculiii< abnost insurmountable. We mustered only nuie this morning at jiravcrs; but just as I comiiicii the Litany three negro soldiers (sergeants who have been over from tlic ' Indies to learn the rifle practice at Ilythe) came in and kneeled down amoi] us; and you cannot think nor could I describe my feelings as I heard voices rise with ours, " Good Lord, deliver us," and " We beseech Thee to J us, good Lord." It was delightful to see their black faces looking so carw On Sunday it is arranged that we shall \xa\ ■ two services, and tiieii If give notice of our Wednesday and Friday morning prayers, and I doubt loi j that this day week our little congrtgation will have grown. A Spaniard i Portuguese, writing at a neighbouring table, laid aside their work the nioJ we connnenced our service, and though they did not join in it, they didf despise it, but rather paid it reverence. We are getting on gloriously, the good ship making nearly twelve knoiJ hour in a sea smoother than you could imagine. The Misses Penrice see'.| suffer more than any one else on board, and even they are not really sick; 5 then they are so selt-forgetful and retiring that I have to insist on their ta| care of themselves, otherwise they must starve ; but whatever I say ///cy 'i do, as they are under my orders ! I do believe if I ordered them to tiic : head, they would try to get there. Brown and Glover both are very nice fellows. I have no doubt but lliaj shall get on capitally, all doing their b^st for the common welfare and conj There are only one or two English gentlemen on board beside ourselves;! rest are nearly all foreigners. There is one English lady whose acquaiiitarkf have not yet made ; Mrs. Pringle has, however, taken her under her cm (slie is a young lady going out, I think, to one of the West India Islands 1 married), and Drought her to our little service to-day. Julj/ 9. — Yesterday was our first Sunday on board. Our morning sr- was well attended by all the crew except those actually engaged in duty, aiJ nearly all the passengers; then we haa the day before (thanks to Browii'sl thought) organized a choir to chant t le " Venite," " Jubilate," " MagiiitiQj and " Nunc Dimittis ;" the choir consisted of the West India soldiers :i tioned in the former part of this letter, and though not fiist-rate singer;.; on the whole it was not bad.

Hope to be otf in a few hours, as the New York steamer has been lied. The papers will ha\ e told you by this time of an accident and lential escape on board the Shannon. After a voyage longer than by nine days, we were all very glad and thankful to reach St. las. Not until we arrived there did we know the extent of the er to which we had been expo.scd. The original accident, which hap- ' on October 24th, consisted of the breaking of the main shaft, close larboard wheel, which of course became useless for the remainder of loyage. We did very well for the rest of the way, making an average rot knots ; but a survey of the machinery the morning after our arrival led the startling fact that the main shaft was nearly fractured close to 104 VOYAGES OF MISSTONARIEfe. 51 'i i hf the Btarboard wheel, with which wo had made the last fourteen Jays off, passage. We have great cause to be thankful, that since the accident j the 24th, we had met with no heavy weather, as the consequences woJ probably have been most serious.
