 Maif 10. — Beached Now Westminster at eight. Considerable inerttue in 
 buildings was manifest beyond those existing at my former visit ; then were 
 several steam-boata and a barque, the PefMru, of F|tinotsco ; we oo^ld not 
 get near the wharf, it was raining hard, « I wa))iod up to the Camp and 
 found Colonel and Mrs. Moody and the Governor fA breakfiii(;/l was 
 kindly and hospitably welcomed.

 May 22. — ^A lovely day; at a quarter to eleven his Exeellenoy thei 
 Governor, Colonel Moody, and offieers, walked towards the town from the\ 
 Camp, were met byihe Committee and Mr. Sheepshanks, and pntfeeded 
 to the ground. The jite of tlie new Church is a vety beautiful one in Vietoria 
 Gardens, and, commanding an extensive view, will be a most prominent 
 object from die fiver to steamers arriving from the sea ; at present^ ^wo 
 deep ravines are on either side, around it are large stumpt of trees, and the 
 ground is entirely unlevelled. Here the frame of the flooring had hem 
 laid, being massive sills on thick short columns of wood. Under <me of these 
 Spinnings/' the south-east outer comer of the J^rch was laid, the stone 
 of granite ; a bottle of coins, with.inscription, was mserted. The GovwHor 
 was received by a guard of engineers ; there Were assembled about 800; 
 Chinese, Indians, and other nations, being represented. The same form of 
 service was used as at St. John's, Victoria ; the service was commenced by 
 yir. Sheepshanks, and the Bishop Mowed. The Governor laid tbe 
 stone. Addresses were <Mivere^ by the QovemH*, the Bishop, and 
 Colonel Moody ; condudmg with the doxology aad blesung.

 -J/ai|' 24.— The Governor inviU'd a largo party to xpond tho day with him, 
 in celehration of theQucon's birthday ; ho chartered a steamer, tho Mam,' 
 for an excumion to tho head of Pitt Uko and up thoiivcr of tliat name • 
 wo started at eleven from tho Camp wharf. 'J'ho .lay was dull, thorn waii 
 ■omo ram, but on tho wliolo tho weather was good. 
 
 The Maria is ono of those extroowlinary vowielH, peculiar to America, 
 
 'hich combmo light drought, ample accommodation, power, and speed ; 200 
 
 bopio might bo stowed in her and sho would not be two feet in thd water 
 
 Icr wheel was behind. Wo passed up the rich and beautiful banks 
 
 of the Fraser, about five niilofi, when wo canio .to several islands, ono 
 
 called Free Island, behind which flowed in the Coquetlum. Wo t<tok un 
 
 a settler here, and his friend, a fine old Irish gentleman, who, had 
 
 wandered from Ireland to Australia and from Australia 'honJ, where ho 
 
 resides upon 400 acres of land with his twd sons; he is a communicant, 
 
 his daughter was confirmed at Victoria recently, and his sons arc preparing 
 
 for tho same ordinance. • \ ^ '^ *,,. 
 
 Manson's Island shortly after divid^I thV channel of tho Frnser, and on 
 
 ^no side, the north, lay the J'itt Itivcr about half a mile wide; this wo 
 
 i^tered and steamed along a fine reach iKth meadows on eithei<Hwde. At 
 
 - point 18 the farm of Mr. Maclean, who fired o salute as we poMCd... 
 
 OjMKi, the Governor's secretary, has a farm also, on which we observed 
 
 setteral stocks of hay. After proceeding about twelve or fiurteen miles, 
 
 1^ F* r J "i?'*" ^'"^S®*' ""^ canio to the entrance of tho lake; tho 
 
 ^C'Stho C ""^aT*"* niountain9U8, wo wore passing through a range 
 
 lake now entered was about fifteen miles long, it is exactly like a 
 
 lake, and we seemed to be on Loch Ness. Captain Spalding, whose 
 
 for many years has lived at Fort Augustin on that lake, expressed 
 
 ne opinion; the only difference was that this land Was more lofty, and 
 
 :», perhaps, broader, but it was not above two miles. At one or 
 
 lints, where the lake turned, and where was a view both ways, nothinir 
 
 ^^^^^^ ,''^"*^ ""^ ^^^ '^°« ' waterfalls come pouring down fn o 
 
 froth by the water-side, occasionally hidden by the trees, and 
 
 vwible ogam below; IBr trees lined the sides and summits of the 
 
 pefeendicular heights to the extent of fi-om 600 to 1,600 feeti At three 
 
 o^ock we reached the head of the lake, there we anchored and a boat 
 
 -*!nt on to proceed up a small river ; we turned bacli at four and sat^lowa 
 
 the saloon to an excellent repast. 
 
 The Governor proposed the loyal toasts of the old country. The bishop 
 
 ind clergy of the diocese were received with much kindness: in retuminj 
 
 iianks for my own health, and that of tho dei^, I said, among other 
 
 Hnts, we desired to forward, without being politicians, the institutions of 
 
 hp land ; I rejoiced that a step towai^ self-government had been taken in 
 
 the grant of a Municipal Council to New Westminster, The clergy came ' 
 
 out to live and die amongst them, we dreamed not of returning back

 Wo reached the camp at eight o'clock, after a mott agreeable day. 
 
 BXCUBSION TO LANOLBY — INDIAN IHSIIINO — TUB VBASBtt. 
 
 i/0y 25. — The Qovemor went away from the camp to Langley at ona.° 
 Captain Parsons followed, with a party of sapors ; considering this * 
 good oppyrtunitjf to see tho river and that distnct, 1 accepted a place in 
 his whale boat. Mr. Sheepshanks accompanied me. Tho distance wai 
 sovvntecn miles, tho stream Was very rapid, and the pull was a long and » 
 hard one ; wo did norreoch Ijungley till ton o'clock. I took an oar seyeral 
 limes to relieve tho men. TWb day was beautiful and the scenorjr pleasinff, 
 tho rivei" varied from half a mile to a mile and a quarter in width. We< 
 
 JMUwed several large islands. Every now and then we met a canoe with 
 jidians — one was fishing for salmon. We saw the method. There were 
 tluee in the boitt ; two paddled, one at tibe stem hold a pole,jat the end of 
 which was a bag-net stretched by a hoop, this he kept down at a certain 
 depth, going dowu the utivmi and moetinir the fish in their ascent. As soon 
 as he perceived by the sensation that a fish was inside, he quickly drew a 
 string which closed the bag, and the fish was caught and brought into the 
 boot. I understand they wiU catch salmon sometimes as fast as they can lower 
 andipuU in tiio net On either side of us was the most luxuriant foliage, 
 sometimes the interior was dense with wood, at other times a clearance 
 might, without difficulty, be made, and land brought into cultivation. The 
 gi-ouping of the treee and lower underwood was very beautiful. Rising up 
 to mi^estio heights wero pinea of different kinds, — cedars, the Douglas, aiid 
 black spruce, — then the cotton tree, a sort of poplar, and the maple with 
 giaceful outspreading branches, the latter with a delicate green; then 
 lower still, and filling in at different heights, were alders, a wild apple in 
 full blossom very like our May in clustered white floirers, willows, hazels, 
 . bowering over the water, so that Indjan canoes could paddl^ und&cJj^efaoii 
 almost unobserved. ^F^ I 
 
 Huge trees were frequently met with which required ^ood steering to 
 avoid, as they camo rushing down with the current, or remained stuck in the 
 river. " Snags" they are called, and are occasions sometimes of injury to 
 boats. 
 
 We passcid several villages of Indiaiw» hut did not land— ono village was 
 called the Kadn, Thesd Indians are numerous ; poor creatures, they stood 
 on the edge of the water, or rather sat or squatted in their peculiar manner, 
 watching us inteptly. We found the Governor at the Fort ; a large hall 
 was the general^rOom, in the quaint wooden building which stood at the 
 head of the enclosure of storehouses. Exoelleut refreshments were on the 
 table, and we were hospitably received by the Hudson's Bay Company 
 oflicials; a comfortable teo, with com beef ond sardines, gratified and 
 sustain^ us ; and a blanket bed, upon the floor of an empty room, gave 
 abundant opportunity for refreshing sleep.

 Jut did not know much, and would monUon to bia people wliat 1 hod said. 
 Mwhollo undemtands a good deal of English and is a well-khown friond to

 *. .,4" '"*^'"" *'''"'^ ^^"^ Harrison River, named Seemtum, agreed to take mo 
 in hie canoo to Now Westminster. We kept him waiting ratl*r longer than bo 
 likod^ and ho disapneared ; wo hod agitjed for five dollare. l^ieso Indiana 
 are well pan , I understand at Ifoiio, they got four dollars a day, •. e. Ifl... 
 ■o they are becoming very indifferent; a couple of ycor« ogo they would 
 do anythmg for a little tobocco. Unless you tako them at, the moment vou 
 want them you may often bo disappointed. \ \ 
 
 We at length found another Indian canOo, paddled by two Indians, who 
 Mfreed for throe dollars.. I first inspected the little chopolat Langley 
 Spit, erected by Mr. Cnckmer, twenty feet long by fifteen ^d*. Thou 
 passed along ond visited Lower Langley, or Derby. \ 
 
 Here the church is in good order. Our two Indians pkllod us 
 down the stream in good tfmo. The motion is very delightful, tho day 
 was fine, tho scenery enlivening. Wo rcachcd tho camp at a littldvboforo 
 three, having como seventeen miles in rother less than throe hours.X Our 
 Indyin in command would sometimes stop paddling and point to spots i^oro 
 ho and hui tribe once roamed in possession. Now a hostile tribe occupied 
 the land of Ilia fothers. Ho did not speak of tho intrusion of the whito 
 man ; the fact is, their tribes have suffeml far more from each other 
 than they ever can from tho whites. This Indian belonged to tho tribo 
 opposite Langley, the Kortlaw or Cartlaw, onoe they dwelt where tho 
 Engineers' Camp is now situated, but hod long left it. The spot thoy 
 call Chastlers. . 
 
 Mai/ 27, Whit-Sundai/.—l preached three times. At the Holy Com- 
 munion, at the Camp, six communicants only. This is sad. Service in 
 this town was at eleven at the Court House,— aboiit twenty people. 
 
 May 28.— Walked with Colonel Moody and Captoin Provost to tho 
 farm and clearing belonging to tho former, on the way to Burrard's Inlet, 
 about two miles and a Wlf from the camp. Up to that point all is 
 dense forest. The tract is very rough, and not suitable for even a horse 
 much less a wheel. At the place about seven acres are cleared and a 
 garden made ; pears are growing, apple-trees are planted. The surround- 
 ing land has been burnt. The forest trees are standing, but dead. The 
 under brush is gone ; one burnt and dead tree fell whUe we were there. 
 Two men had been felling, the tree came down with a mighty crash. I 
 measured it and found it 170 feet. '

 to soe tho enthunissm ^liich glows within him for the |)oor HowaMi. I 
 have arranged that he should como to Victoria and take part in Indian 
 work thoru. At kbout lialf-past ton this oToningJ^mlwrked on l>oard th« 
 Mtxidjf for IIopip and Yale. Colonel Moody went at tha same time. At 
 half-|)aat ono w^ reached liangley, wliero "wo anchored. 
 
 May 31. — At lialf-|Huit four we left I^ngloy and stoamod on. A few 
 miles up the rivytr changes its oliaraoter and becomes bold, with rocky 
 heights on either «iide. Ileached mouth of Harrison at half-past twelve. 
 Several islands at ontrnnce. Tho current at Junction of Harrison and 
 iTraser very strong. Stoamer at one point nearly diiven on n rock, ilor 
 wheel within three foot. Indian village at entrance of Harrisbn calidd 
 Bcourlits ; named bw Qovomor, Carnarvon. From this to Douglas is fortr 
 miles, we reached the Utter at six. The greater part of this ky through 
 a magnificent lak(y-^the Harrison. The wator a clear blue of groat depth ; 
 soundings had not been taken of less tlian 100 fathoms. The mountains 
 on either side of oonilidorablo height, covered with timber, verT rocky, no 
 cultivatablo land. A\'aterfa]lfl and cascades frequent. This lake in all its 
 features is a ditto of the I'itt Lake, only on a doublo scale.

 ^At the hSluT of tho Ikko, through a winding channel, is the harboar of 
 Douglas;- with the town at its extremity. It consists at present of a few 
 wooden buildings, with an. excellent quay, ^o Bev. Mr. Gammago met 
 me, and I proceeded to his little cottage ; the way to which lay across 
 several plonk bridges over riMhing torrents. Mrs. Qfunmage was waiting 
 tea for her husband. I sat down with them, and w^MKO'Woh discussing 
 tho various spiritual necessities of the place. Af|PJPpxls I visited the 
 ground set apart lor a church site and the new road ; ue lattor,'mado by 
 the Royal Engirie^'m, is a very creditable work. ■" 
 
 On my way I was accosted mr a miner. " If you please, sir, how is 
 the church getting on at Westminstor ? " This was one of the five mitaera 
 who gave their contribution in labotJr to clear tho sito of timber. These 
 five men afterwards presented their log hut to Mr. Sheepshanks, in 
 wffich he resides. The other day, ii wns Sunday, the steamer arrived here 
 bringing minors. Ten miners eame^ in a body at onoe to church ; they 
 wore Canadians. Tho Canadians m this matter ore a contrast to 
 others who are not only indifferent \hut openly abusive of religions, 
 and whoso profanity is sometliing tertiole. (There are, of course, some 
 honourable exceptions to this.) With \^06e who have come from our 
 colonies there is a marked difference. 1 attribute this respect for re« 
 ligion to the caie with which our colonies have of late years been attended 
 to, and to the influence, under God, of the Church of England.

 INDIAN 8CHOOE8 SPOKAN OARRY. 
 
 June 4.— Met a Mr. Yates who spedu the native language well. 
 He said the Indian children would gladly \come to school. There are 
 about fifky here. ' They had attended well" when Mr. Robson (now gone) 
 had held school amongst them. He did not mink they needed any other 
 inducement than the desire they hod of leaming\the language of^ivhite men.

 shipped was Shung Si. He prayed to Shung Si who was in heaven and 
 would punish t^he wicked and reward the good. Sluing Bi was once a man. . 
 He could not tell mo all his ■tlioughts about Shung Si'; he did not know 
 enough English. I asked what they did in tho joss house ; he said they 
 played on the knee with joss sticks. Only a few of the Chinese thought 
 about such things; the greatest" part did not believe. He had been in 
 Hong-Kong, and hod heard ^of the Bishop's schools. I asked if he longed 
 to go back. " O yes, I Should like to go back." Have you brothers and 
 Bisters?— •* Yes; a sister named Amoy and brothers "—tears came into 
 his eyes — " but I have sent them my photograph I " I asked if he would 
 like to know what the English thought and knew about good things of 
 heaven. He said he should. He had heard of Jesus, but did jipt believe 
 in Him. He did not know about Him. I spoke to iiira #§(t Jesus 
 Christ and urged him to use his knowledge of English 4© hePiii(| read 
 of Jesus who had die4. for our sins. He would be much happier if' hei 
 knew of Jesus and all He had done for him. He seemed interested, and I 
 prom.iscd he should have instructidn, and that Mr. Pringle would htelp him 
 and give him books to read. He said there were some twelve or fifteen 
 young men who might be got to receive instruction. He does a little 
 vmh them himself, but they find it hard and do not persevere with him. The 
 (2!hinese here, he sold, have come on liheir own « hook." In Califomia they 
 are bound to some head men who receive part of their earnings. They 
 live principally upon rice and tea at their three meals ; sometimes chicken 
 and pork and potatoes. They send home the bones of their dead ; they let 
 thd bodies decoy and the flesh come off, then they send home the bones 
 for the comfort of friends ; he knew no other reason. I was pleased with 
 this youth, there was something engaging and simple and open in Us 
 manner. May this be a commencement of holier thoughts to him, and a 
 streak, of dawn to his people, who are coming over in glreat multitudes. 
 They seek- the gold that perisheth ; let us give them not the stone they 
 blindly ask, but the living Bread which came down from heaven. 
 
 HOPE SCENEBY — CHtTBCHWABDBNS. 
 
 June 5. — ^No spot can be more beautiAilIy situated than Hope. The 
 river Fraser fiowa past it. The site is on the river bank ; <m eiiher side 
 / are noble mountains ; opposi^ an ishmd. To the back, mountun scenery; 
 trees jirum the foot to the summit, and deep valleys between, through which 
 flow the rapid and b^autifiil Quequealla and its tributarras, and in which 
 are situated several lakes. This evening we walked up the QueqneaUa, 
 crossed its picturesque bridge, and proceeded along the Brigade Trail ; a 
 walk windbg through trees and flowers, and where at times you might 
 fancy yourself in the wilder part of some cultivated domain in England. 
 The scenery is a combination of Swiss and Scotch. It had been nuny, 
 and aU nature was fresh and lovely and fragrant. About three miles 
 brought us to Dallas Lake; a sweet spot, where one felt one could live fer

 tne Chinese seemed to be coming into possession, a taiiner remarked, " Yes, 
 we call this country New China."' On Strawberry Island, an elderly and 
 respectable man came out, and placed an easy ehofar outside his hut, as a sign 
 he wished us to stop and speak with him. He was reoding d newspaper and 
 had on spectacles. At, Hill's Bar two miners were gathering roses and other 
 flowers, perhaps to adorn their huts for Sunday. Butterflies were abundant, 
 particularly the Swallow-toil and the Painted Lady. 
 
 At •four o'clock we arrived at Vale, and were hospitably received by Mr. 
 Crick mcr and his estimable lady. 
 
 Jtine 10, Sunday/. — This was the opening of |he temporary church here 
 (Yajc). It is a small place, formerly a store, fitted up with taste by Mr. 
 Crickmer. He has a mclodeon which the people have purchased. The 
 musical part of the service was very creditably performed, considering most 
 present hod never before hcaiHl chanting. About forty persons were 
 present, amongst others^ the Govei-nor, and Colonel Moody. The usual con- 
 gregation is not above twelve tor fifteen, so this was a large representation. 
 I preached twice. In the afternoon I walked with Mr. Crickmer and 
 visited some Indians (^d Chinese. The Holy Communion yrab celebrated 
 in the morning ; there were but three Communicants. 
 
 June 11. — ^Bain most of the day. Went and looked at sites for burial 
 ground. A romantic ravine with rolling torrent borders the north port of 
 the town ; it is qufte a study. 
 
 A picturesque bridge crosses the stream at the lower part; near 
 this were mules and horses preparuig to pack for the upper country. I 
 spoke to a man who- hod charge, he was a bearded young man about 
 thirty. He had been to the mines and had evidently suffered privation, 
 there was something superior and gentle in his voice and manners, j 
 asked him about his present occupation, how the mules were fed, &c, t 
 asked if he observed the Sunday. No difference was made, he said. 
 I urged the observance of the Lord's day on the ground of rest for the 
 body and refreshment for the sotkl. ' He received what I said respectfully, 
 and even with approval. 
 
 Mr. Crickmer invited some of the principal people to meet m§ at tea. 
 It was an opportunity of social intercourse usefiu to the people as binding 
 .the disjointed elements somewhat together, affording mutual acquaint- 
 once, and tending to remove impressions of prejudice against the clergy 
 and the Church. Amidst varied conversation, many openings were found 
 for the introduction of topics' of higher interest. I am punfiilly oonscioys 
 of coming far short in using such opportunities aa these were to magnify 
 my Saviour. About twenty were present, amon^t whom were/ two 
 Romanists, a Jew, Lutherans, !Presbyterians, 4&c. Half were AmericaiUy 
 yet all mos tfriendly. ,

 INDIAN OAlf DLINQ — TEA-MEETINQ AT TALE-^ CHINESE. 13 : 
 
 This chair was taken by Mr. Curtz, an Atnipricait of 'Oennan origin ; 
 some of those present were Americans, thero were three Romanists, 
 and others of various persuasions, including Jews, the chairman being a 
 Lutheran. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed. I replied to 
 the address. Colonel Moody followed, and, while speaking of various topics 
 of interest connected with their town, he urged forcibly and with tact their 
 adhesion to a religious life. 
 
 The chairman alluded to the Various nationalities before him ; to (fib 
 gathering of representatives of many sects; nnd urged all to become a 
 united bodj, and make the Church of^lngland their religion. 
 
 The last visit of ^olonel Moody biul been with an armed force to capture 
 the notorious Ned Ai^K^owan. All feeling of disaffection had now vanished ; 
 a change had come over Americans, and they were valuing more the order 
 and security and genuine freedom of British rule ; one of them remarked 
 this to me, when I asked them if they all meant to remain and settle down. 
 
 One ^ the ringleaders of the McGowan djisturbance was there. He 
 is a fine young man^of supen^r qualifications, who had left his home 
 in Boston for the gold mines. On Sunday I observed him in church 
 one of the most zealous of the choir; to-night he rose, aiid in a clever, 
 short, well-expressed sj)eech, proposed a vote of thanks to me for the way 
 I had spoken of the American people^ and to Colonel Moody for bringing his 
 sappers, not for war but for improvement. I told him I hoped to visit him 
 atvthe Bar. He said, " You shall have a welcome from all the miners." 
 
 Altogether, this occasion was one of deep interest, and to be long 
 rememb^^. In the morning, the contract had been signed for making a 
 road, to be the great road to the interior — perhaps to Canada and England. 
 It was a leading step in civilization and. progress. Fitting was it to solemnize 
 the occasion by expressions of respect for religion, and for advancing the 
 cause of Christ's^hurch. 
 
 June 13. — A fine day! 
 
 The Chinese are coming up in great numbers, and spreading them- 
 selves over the Bars. They work over again the claims which have 
 already boon searched by the Europeans. ^ They are content with a dollar 
 or two dollars a-day, and will frequently make much more. They have 
 been buying up claims, and paying as much as from 500 to 4,000 dollars. 
 In California, they have not been liked, and they are heavily taxed. 
 
 Whether here we shall find them troublesome, remains to be seen. At 
 present, |.hey are helping us to develope the land. They are consumers of 
 ' manufactures ; they are cultivating gardens out of barren Wastes ; and 
 a leading miner on Hill's Bar told me, to-day, he employed them as 
 labourers, and pn^rred thiem ^featly to white m^n. They worked for 
 two dollars and a half, instead of four dollars ; worked longer, and more 
 obediently ; so that thdr labour was a great saving. 
 
 I walked to-day with Mr. Crickmer, in search of a burial-gvund. We 
 selected a spot westward, near two streams. Our ramble wis pleasant, 
 amidst beautafbl scenery, and flowers in wondrous profusion; ^re gathered 
 strawberries. 
 
 June 14.— I crossed the river oppouteTale, and took Uie trail to Hill's 
 Bar. We walked through groves of young pines ; much of tl e ground is 
 cleared.

 A miner's wipe— INDIAN LOArtS^ClIINESE LADIES. 15 
 
 There was something simple and touching in her nunner. I entered upon 
 the subject of roliffion. She loved 16 attend ^chur% ; hod been piously 
 brought up. Her ratlier used always to have family prayers, morning and 
 night ; ho was still living. She was very lonely, and lutd no female 
 society. Her husband was an American. He come in, and asked us to 
 excuse him as. he was verj^busy. ilo seemed a fine young man. She had 
 no Bible or Prayer Book. I read a portion of Scripture, explained it, 
 and prayed. She said, « Oh, ho^ I remember all that ! '* On going 
 away, she thanked us .several times and said, "I never thought hora I 
 should have a reverend gentleman to c^ll upon me." 
 
 I asked one sturdy miner how it wds that those like .himself, who 
 
 .had been out in California and here, for ton years, had not realized a 
 foiiune. He said, " Because, sir, iho miner is always agitated by any 
 news of richer diggings, and frequently gives up good paying. claims to 
 follow out some hearsay report, thinking to better himself, and frequently 
 spends all and comes bock poorer than he went. I myself, if I hear of 
 
 /anything better, cannot keep quiet; I must be off. I once had 0,000 
 dollars, but it all went away." 
 
 The excitement of gold-mining is great. The miners seem never to tire. 
 There is an interest in the work which always sustains them. I was 
 told cards and whiskey are their bane. They seldom play for money, but 
 for drink, a dollar a game. A reckless maii will go into Yale on Sunday, 
 and spend twenty-five to forty dollars in drink and treating others. 
 There are, however, many temperate men. A friend of mine, tlichigh an 
 old miner, never touches spirit, onTy poi-tcr and^ale. He always has a 
 dozen of English porter in his house (on the Bar)^ 
 June 15. — Fine day. Colonel Moody left Yale. The Chinese had a 
 
 "grand affair with crackers, in honour of his departure. 
 
 INDIAN LOADS CHINEBE-HBUNDAY TBADIKO. 
 
 At eleven we left Yale for the trail towards the north. It lay over 
 steep hills and rocky paths. We met many Indians, with whom we dis- 
 coursed: all were pleased 6i the notice. One family were travelling the 
 same way, heavily laden — th() father, mother, and two littler girls. The 
 heaviest weight, of near 100 pounds, was carried by the woman; one 
 little girl carried a vevy heavy, load ibr a child. They were laden with 
 flour and bread. They carry weights on their back aided by a strap over 
 the forehead. ^ 
 
 We met many Chinese : they were coming into the town for provisions. 
 On our way back we met them loaded. They carry everything on two 
 ends of a pole which rests on the shoulder. Their dress, for the most part, 
 seems never to have been changed, for they are exact realizations of the 
 pictures on old china, which we have been accustomed from our youth to 
 aeet A Chinese shop is exactly vduit is painted; every Chih<SBe man in it, 
 every attitude, is just that quaint reality. Some of ihem, after a time, 
 accept our customs, and buy our clothing, which improves their appearance. 
 One of those I met to-day told me he had a wife and children at Canton. 
 I asked why- he did not bring them hpre. He said he had no means. 
 Another Clunaman, who stood by, sno, ** This country is no place for^ 
 Chinese laiAes— their feet are too small ; they are too fine for the place ! "

 SUNDAY TRADINO— IHDIAN8 AND PACK CARBYINO. 17 
 
 evening on Uie first rwHurrection, fi-om Col. iii. 1—4. Congregations 
 wei-e about Uiirty in Iho morning and twenty in tho evening. This was 
 fair, considering all Uio Hlio[m oro o|ien, and more buniness on Sunday tliau 
 any other day ; in addition to which boats laden with freight «imo In from 
 lIo|M), and many Indians art'ivo from tho upper country to bo packed 
 this evening, reaily for a start by daybreak. 
 
 Some of the iieople oiti desirous u stop should ho put to this Sunday 
 traffic. Tho miners universally muko it th«ur business doy ; they divide 
 their profits on their claims, and tlicn come m to tlio noighlwuring stores. 
 It will bo difllicult, no doubt, to break into the' custom ; we must, however, 
 boar witness to tlio will of our Go<l, a most inorciful will, in giving a day 
 of rest, and trust by degrees to obtain a bettei| obscrvanco. 
 
 There were miners present both morning andlovening. Tho services were 
 hearty ; a molodcon gave spiriti Mr. Orickiher has to go through the 
 town from one end to tho other ringing a boll before tho service. There 
 is not one resident communicant. Truly it is tho day of small things ; yet 
 tho Lord surely is with us, and will bless without doubt His own means, 
 and we shall yet return with joy and bring our sheaves with us. 
 
 Juru 18. — Visited the trail makers and the blasting operations round 
 tho Canyons Bluff: . *^ 
 
 INDIANS AND PACK CABRYINO. 
 
 I went into an Indian lodge ; there were four resting places or beds ; 
 a fire in the midst. Several squaws were there, mostly fine young women. 
 I asked about tho child of one. She said his name was Paul. I asked if 
 ho was baptised. She went to a box and drew out a paper which she 
 hajided to me to see. This was a certificate in Fronch, that a Bomish 
 priest hod baptized tho son of Peter by tho name of Paul. The child of 
 another squaw had also been baptized, but she liad left lier paper at Hope, 
 to which place she belonged. 
 
 There came in a middle-ngcd Indian man, who sat down by an old one- 
 eyed squaw. He was evidently interested by our queries. I asked him 
 whence ho was and his name. He was from Kamloops, and Mr. McLean 
 was a friend of his (the head of tho Hudson's Bay Company's Station 
 there). He asked who wo wei-e. I said we were King George's men, 
 i.e. English, and clergymen ; ho rose up, expressed his joy, held oiit his 
 hand, shook hands, and took off his cap in respect, 
 
 The traffic between Yale and the upper country, ».«. to Lytton, about 
 eighty miles, is carried on the backs pf Indians through the winter, and 
 now also, for want of sufficient nni^ials. To-day I was in the store of a 
 tinman, Mr, Griffin. I saw packs made up for Indians to go off with in the 
 morning. They weighed 1001b., 1200)., and 1301b. each. The Indians, 
 who were to carry them, hod been and fitted them to their backs, and had 
 arranged them for starting. I could hardly lift them. One, a package 
 of long-handled mining shovels, was most awkward to carry. Yet their 
 padiswere to be carried along precipices, up almost perpendicuhu: heights* 
 and for many a weary mile after mile. ^ " 
 
 June 10. — A number oi Indians were in Mr. Curts' stc^breparing 
 for their packs to the upper country to-morrow. He paokedflL to the 
 height of 1001b. and upwards. The Indiana came and fitted them to

 Bhoutod, was frightened, and sprang forword shouting, and then over 
 tho rocks with alarm upon his countenance. Tho ropo had broken ; ho 
 knew not but his boot hod boon caught and upset. Wo, too, hastened 
 round, and looked, first in tho distance down tho torrent, expecting, under 
 Uio best ciroumstanccs, to find It carried for back. Nothing was to bo

 wo last saw it. There, In a retired nook, in a quiet oddy out of tho 
 torrent, lay tho conoe, quite «afe; her two Indions sitting laughing, as 
 though tho danger were a joke. Presently, tho old man appeared! the 
 delight upon his countonanoo was that of a child. Agoin an attempt wai 
 ^inade with tho mended rope; a second Indian camo to the old man's help.

 BOSTON BAR — QUAYOME INDIANS— ILCOCHAN. 
 
 23 
 
 Thus woB passed my birthday. I awoke in a log hut on tho floor. I 
 laid down upon tho grass ot night. I can rejoice that my Lord has in His 
 Providence colled me to this part of His vineyard, wherein Ho has oifcred 
 me the opportunity of more self-denial and of a higher life than the ease 
 ond comfort of home. Though it i» a burden to me continually that I am 
 so unworthy of this soci-ed office, and so weok an instrument of the glorious 
 Gospel of my God, I can only trust that He who hns called me will aid me, 
 and out of weakness show His own strength, and power, in the progi-ess of 
 His Gospel and the conversion of hearts. 
 
 INTBVDBB — BOSTON BAH. 
 
 Jtme 27. — Last night I was attracted by some thing, or person, I thought 
 prowling near my tent; presently tho tent-door opened — I jumped up — it 
 "was aii Indian dog. The ham in my tent had drawn him. I got my stick 
 ftnd laid it near in case I had another visit. 
 
 ' . I visited the village of Boston Bar, which is over tho Anderson River, 
 which here runs into the Fraser. There are but five houses, (two stores, a 
 liquor-shop, a restaurant, and a blacksmith's shop), eight persons in all." 
 It is, however, the centre of a considerable mining district, where tlio 
 mines have paid well, so that much business is done. 
 
 I was struck at once by the gaidens, which are highly productive, and 
 which form a grateful contrast to anything seen before on the river. Wo 
 entered the fii-st store. It was that c^^two Frenchmen. We were civilly 
 received and invited to take a drink. I declinejJi Jbying I never took 
 anything of the sort, but would be glad of a glass of water. Kaspberry . 
 syrap was added, and when payment was offered it was steadily declined. 
 I spoke to several miners I found there, a Frenehman, and a Spaniard 
 among the rest; they cijuld speak English fairly. 
 
 The next store was that of a young Frenchman, named Brassey. He 
 was very civil, showed^jis his garden, offered refreshment, and insisted 
 upon our taking away some excellent lettuce and radishes. We then went 
 into his restaurant depaitment, carried on by two coloured men, with whom 
 we talked. 
 
 Our next visit was to the ferryman and liquor-house keeper. He 
 insisted upon nothing being paid for passage across the feiry, a saving to 
 us of a dollar each. We afterwards <aaw the bla<^mith, and so the whole- 
 resident population came under review. • 
 
 The miners we spoke to all reported good success. -

 lesson I hoped to profit by. It was affecting to think of the entire dark- 
 ness which clouds the minds of these })eople. 
 
 Amongst other subjects, I mentioned my desire to bring education 
 within their reach. After a lengthened talk upon the improvement it 
 would make in their temporal, as well as spiritual circumstances, I. inquired 
 how many children there were in the tribe. It was difficult to makci them 
 underst&nd ; at Icjigth they ap^ared to catch my meaning ; two young 
 men started up, came forward, and offered to go. I supposed they were 
 going to the different houses to find out how many children in ea%h family. 
 Pixjsently they can^ back; there was a difficulty. Instantly everyone 
 
 shouted to put them on their mettle, and not to see diflioulties. They 
 
 conferred and then darted off into the darkness. Presently from all 
 quarters approached more Indians ; as they came on the ground they took 
 their seats in rows ; I perceived every one had a child. I discovered, to 
 my diHmay,.^liLthey had misundei-stood me, and that they were bringing 
 the child^^tngftselves instead of their number. It was past ten o'clock ; 
 all the'se^jlQl^tli^ngs had been pulled out of bed — most were naked — some 
 in their (Jra^iiB. . 
 
 In the midst of my last teJk', ant, Indian woman brought a lighted mould 
 candle and placed it near me. We concluded by singing the Evening 
 Hymn. A most devotional and deep impression sat upon each and all ; when 
 we stopped the scene was most striking to behold. Reluctantly they took 
 their leave one by one ; every one came and shook hands. They came 
 up in file before me, and every child was brought, and hold out its ItttJe"' 
 hand for my shake. 
 
 June 2'&4-mLeti Boston Bar and its gardens a little before eight. 
 
 Overtook/a miner from California, with a revolver on one side and a 
 bowie-knile on the other. I spoke about the former ; he said they were 
 needed/Jm California but not here. ' / 
 
 I have met very few miners with their weapons ; once none went with- 
 out. Things are now as quiet and orderly as possible. All classes are 
 well-treated. Chinamen, Indians, and Blacks, have justice equal with 
 others. Indeed it is evident that what the Cdlifomian looked upon as a 
 sign of high spirit and courage, he now thinks little pf, and these terrible' 
 weapons are put away. 
 
 . The appellation of all miners is " boy," their chief is ** cap." 4-11 are 
 called Dick, Tom, Harry. Men are not known by their real names. 
 You inquire, as I hare often done, the name of some one, and nobedy knows 
 his riame ; only he is called so and so, of such and such -a Bar. I was 
 speaking to a miner ; who said be had just come from Califoroia, and with 
 him had come a miner who had sold his claim there for 1,800 dollars. I 
 asked what the man's name was ; he said he went by a nickname " Bam " 
 — he knew not his real name. He had known in California instances of 
 considerable difficulty arising from this. A man came into the country

 SWEARINQ REPROVED— CHINESE INaENUITY.

 His name was Ah Fah. We had much talk with him. The 
 the bridge was this. A man had placed over this river two 
 connecting them, had made a sort of bridge. He charged every body 
 high, and when the poor Chinese men came with no money, he would take 
 away their mining implements. Complaint was mode to Captaiil Ball, the 
 magistrate at Lytton, who advised them to make a bridge for themselves. 
 The white man very soon gave way, sold his right, and a really beautiful 
 bridge, six feet wide, with tasteful rails, permits not only men bul animals 
 to pass over. To-d&y we came to another bridge, larger in size, being 
 120 feet long, built upon coffer dams, at a cost of 635 dollars or 107/. 
 Hero was a Chinaman named Ah Loo. On our approach he ran forward 
 with cool water to drink, and told us we were free of the bridge. " No 
 Englishee," he said, " pay over this bridge, and no poor Chiuamen." 
 " Me makee no chargeo to de English, me chargee Boston man (A.picrican) ; 
 Boston man chargee Chinaman very high in Califouey. Chinaman now 
 chargee Boston man, ha ! ha! ha!" 
 
 We meet many Chinese, they are pouring in — there are already upon the 
 river, on either side of Fort Hope, not less^han 3,000. This is the opinion 
 of Mr. Bullard, merchant to the Chinese &i Lytton, and he expects 2,000 
 more this summer. They are selling off tneir mining daims in California 
 to come up here, and are purchasing claim^ of the wmte miners. " This 
 very day (said Mr. Bullard,) a claim on Foster's Bar was bought by 
 Chinese for 3,500 dollars." They are well «nd equally treated here, and 
 are not taxed ; in California they are taxed 50 dollars {a year. 
 
 The Indian race is comparatively^happy henp ; everywhere King George's 
 men (English) are looked upon as theur frii^nds; they come and shake 
 hands and hang about us. A third race, ihe African, is also much 
 attached to English rule ; here, evCTy where, th^ are treated' fairly. Thus, 
 in these three instances is British soil a welcome home. \ May God grant 
 it may be a home blest to their souls with the\ light, tl^e peace, (uid the 
 power of the Gdspel of Jesus Christ. 
 ° We crossed the famed di£Sculty of the Jackass M(Wntain, without 
 trouble, our pfeivious experience in hazardous paths had i^ade us insen- 
 sible to smaller dangers ; this trail had been much imprdyed, ou^ horses 
 went over instead of going round. The chief difficulty is i»n ascent very 
 steep of loose stones, with a precipice 500 feet straight dowi^. The name 
 is derived from the fall and destruction of a mule — ^certainly a slip would 
 be destruction. God, who has watched over us so far, mercifully protected 
 usjiere. 
 
 Owing to having to watch two hours, und^r the impression oiir hones 
 were behind, whereas they were before us, we made but twelve miles, and 
 encamped in a lovely spot about half-post three. It was a rising ground 
 between two small ravines, about 200 feet above the Eraser, whibh flowed 
 at the foot. Trees encompassed our encampment, on either side ^as park-

 Lytton is {tJtrery wiVidy spot: it blew rathcc harder than usual. It wai 
 with considerable ' difficulty we fixed our tents, and during the night were 
 by no nieans eotifident we should nut have our enuanipnieut razed by the 
 witiih A mercinrt'Pod, however, protected us, though the storm raged. 
 
 Jultf 1, ISundat/. — Wo had two services at the Court Kouao; they 
 were attended well. Considering the population, and tlic character of the 
 people, as regardft nation and ci-ced, tliu services wcro hearty ; we had 
 nnich singing ; and the cards containing ton hymn's distiibutcd answered 
 well. I preached in the niornnig upon the happy results of true religion, 
 and in the evening upon prayer. There was great attention. In the 
 morning all but three were in shirt-sleeves ; no one but Captain Ball and 
 my own party had Pmyer-Books. We had morning prayer and Litany, 
 and an evening service. 1'ho Venite and Jubilate were chanted. Mr.; 
 Crick mer read prayers^ and led the singing. 
 
 Previous to the morning scrvicq Mr. Crickmcr went through the town 
 announcing it. One man oaked, « if we were going to stand treat at the 
 end." Mr. Cricknver did not quite catch what he said, and made him 
 i-cpoat it, ^ which the man was rather ashamed to do. He was answered, 
 " There will be a rich treat for those who have the taste to receive it." 
 
 July 2. — Prices at Lytton ; Flour, 20 cents, per lb. (lOrf.) ; Beef, 25 
 cents, per lb. (12^rf.); Potatoes, 20 cents, per lb. (lOrf.); Preserved 
 Meat, tins 21bs. each, 2 dollars each (8«. 4d.).' 
 
 There is now an abundance of work for the Indians, so piuch so as to 
 induce many to give up their former method of living, and live as the 
 whites. I was introduced oil Saturday to two chiefs of the Thompson 
 Kiver Indians. Oile of them told me (Spintlum), before the whites came, 
 there were seasons when the salmon fishery failed, and then hundreds and 
 fhousands of Indians died of starvation ; but now, he said, Hy<m Pack, 
 Hyofu Chkkanan ; Hyou muck, muck, — ^plenty of packing, — plenty of 
 money, — plenty of food.

 The valley becomes wider generally, here and there are norrow gorges, 
 which seem originally to have produce's the flats ; the river being pent up, 
 and raging and eddying up to the edge of the obstruction, and depositing 
 -sand and gravel and gold upon the beaches or flats; in course of time 
 these obstructions were! broken down, the pass between them is' a canyon, 
 and the flats are left high and dry. The mountain-range runs on either 
 side, the whole course of the river. Upon the flats, which are wider thus 
 high, are the spots for vegetfition; some flats are lower than others. 
 There is frequently a double bank, steps as it were, so the theory of origin 
 would be quite consistent ; in some places a higher portion of the cascade 
 (obstruction), would go first, then the upper bank would be left, and the 
 
 proc es s ofLd e poait 
 
 -level ;y by and hy-anothCT^rtion of4ha = 
 
 cascade would break a'way, and a second bank would be left dry. The 
 process is still going on, and the hart one day will be left by the river, as

 way, in vahi tiding to And a good spot. At length a trail took us towanl 
 the river, aud wo came to a beautiful green place, where wo lay dowii 
 waiting' fur our baggage. Time pamod, and wo began to suspect a 
 mistake. Inquiry of soniie CliincAo, gave un tlie information that our 
 liorses were not on beforo us on that trail, but that the right and usual 
 coufHO was above on tlio flots, some 500 feet alM)ve our heads. Wo 
 ascended this trackless height, andrst length fi>und the trail ; we deter- 
 mined to hasten and try to overtake our horses, which had no doubt passed, 
 thinking wo were on beforo ; wlia^Ter eamo we would punh on to I*0Bter'(» 
 Bar, where miners were living, should ilight not cofno on. After some 
 time, to 9ur joy, we saw a tire, and my tent already oitched. | I do not 
 think a night was over more thankfully passed. Mr. CricJKmer had 
 run on before. A beautiful stream of water was flowing d^se to our 
 encampment. 
 
 The first thing done on coming to camping ground, is io light a i{f«i 
 This is done always by our Indian, Sachcr: he darts off, and roturna 
 speedily with just tho right sort of wood, and the fire is soon blazing ; 
 sometimes from a noble log, which lasts tho night, and next day too. 
 Then the water is put on to boil. William commences to prepare dinner 
 or supper. Making bread is generally one thing to bo done, with flour 
 and water and baking powder; this operation is soon accomplished. 
 Meanwhile Sachcr is sent forth for tent^oles and staken. He goes o£f to 
 the thicket ; and returns with what is wanted : t|ien all assist in getting up the 
 tents. Mine is generally first erected — so many willing hands engaged in it. 
 I then unfold my blankets, .get the interior arranged, and by this time our 
 meal is ready. A tarpauling or mackintosh is spread on the ground, not 
 far fi-om the fire, and, as the sun sets, and the cool air begins to l^^w, yf4 
 
 are thankfully drinking our tea and coffee, and eating beans md fried 
 bacon. On this journey; so far, our food has been principally saltedpro- 
 vision. At Lytton we had fresh meat. Tho party sitting, or rather lying 
 down, at the meal, consists of Mr. Crickmer, William, Mr. Hatch — the 
 packer, and myself. Sacher .waits upon us, and takes his own meal with 
 great contentment afterwards. He likes coffee, and sugar, and baeon, and 
 bread. After returning thanks, sitting a while, and singing tl^ Evening 
 Hymn, we rctira to* res^. We three Englishmen have our tents and 
 blankets ; the earth is our mattress. Sheets ive dream not of. A pilldw 
 is formed by rolling up coats and clothing. Mr. Hatch, a weather- 
 beaten American, prefers to sleep with his blankets under a tree, without 
 the tent, and Sacher ^takes his single blanket, and lies behind a log, or 
 where he is sheltered from the wind. In the morning we rise early, get 
 bj-eokfast at half-past six (A- seven, and ar^ off before eight. 
 
 I have always contrived to get a delicious bathe before breakfast, in tho 
 river, or some stream near our encampment. ,

 This point of tho Fraser is a wide plateau, yet with benches, rising 
 liko steps up the river, but each covered with gross. Hero is an entrance *- 
 from the lowor part of ' tho Frasor, through tho Coscado Kango on the 
 righl bank. Two small streams, called LiTloc and Cayoosh, fall into tho 
 -^ main stream^ from that opening ; a chain of lakes connects with tho Har* 
 risoi), river. This' juhotion of two main routes, the only known opening 
 at present into the Upper country, renders Cayoosh of importance. There 
 is also much mining m the neighbourhood, 
 
 The scenery is very beautiful. The view from Cayoosh down the river 
 -—with mounti^s on one side, and green slopes and trees, and the plateau 
 (whicB looks liko a park) on Che other — particularly pleasing. The soil is 
 better than it is lower down. Gardens flourish. C^ta and barley are in 
 full ear : it docs not pay, however, to grow them for the grain, but only 
 fior the hay, expense of tlu^shing, dEo. being top great. 
 
 Jvly 8, Sunday. — In the morning we bad Divine sorvioe in an uppei 
 room df a new store belonging to a Frenchman and he a Bomanist. Tho 
 room was well filled, principally by miners. The prayers were read by 
 Mr. Sheepshanks. I preached from Matt. ziii. on the Hid Treasnre. There 
 was much attention. The door was grouped with Indians. Amongst 
 others, came in a renuukably fine Indi^ : he was the chief of the tribes 
 hereabout, more particularly of the Fountain Indians. He was dressed in 
 crimson and black. His fine flowing bladi hair hung over his shoulders. 
 He stood up and fiitced me with great intelligence the whole time. After 
 service, he and another Indian remained. He shook hands and said in 
 the Chinook, good, good ; pibintied to Mr. Sheepshanks and then to me, 
 
 goodi I asked him if iie^kncw what fcfr had™ 
 doing. H0 said yes, and pointed upwards, saying, SackeUly Tyhee Papa.

 again spoke to them, and rojpcatcd tho Lord's Prayer, which I had traiii-

 the cducotion of their children, then sang the Evening Hymn, which alwaya 
 impresses thena, and in which to-night thoy mingled their voices. 
 
 Some of the townspeople came and listened, and were interested. Miners 
 stopped as they passed, and Chinese had an opportunity of being reminded ^ 
 there was a God. For two hours the interest did not for an instant flag. 
 None removed till we suggested it was time to go to rest. Then ono by 
 one all came and shook hands, and still lingered around till we ourselves 
 left the spot.

 is then no salmon and no food for Indians. I sud further down was plenty, 
 of work for Indians, plenty of money, plenty of food. It was not so here, 
 ^ they said. 
 
 My two visitors were very full of their grievances as to polvgamy. They 
 said nothing came of it, but fight, fight, and sometimes murder. I visited 
 in the afternoon and evening various people — a Jew, a Swede, a German, 
 and discoursed with many. 
 
 July 14. — ^WeiUher fine. Slight showers. 
 
 BBOOND SUNDAY AT CAYOOSH — ^PSBACHINa TO IimiANS. 
 
 Julyl5, Sunday.— Biy'me service in a saloon at Nicok9manna,the oppo- 
 site side of the river to Cayoosh, or, as it is called by Americans, Parsons' 
 Ville, from an American storekeeper, named Parsons, who built the &«t 
 house. We had a fair ntten<)ance, though nofso good as the Sunday 
 before when the service was in the evening. One only of the female sex 
 attended, — the only white person in fact living there, a pleasmg person, 
 Mrs. Neufelde. One other lived at a little distance. Her husband waa 
 present. There were, however, Indian women as well as Indian men. 
 This is the case with all our services. ; , 
 
 In the evening we had a good attendance at Cayoosh, every seat waa 
 occupied ; some stood and some sat on the ground. It was held in a large 
 upper room. The singbg was shared by & greater number than last 
 Sunday. There was no female. The men were mostly miners, and thrar 
 attention was great. 
 
 I took for my subject Prayer, and explained the Lord's Prayer, Matt 
 vi. 9. In the morning I preached from 1 Cor. xv. 66. — J)etUh, Sin, and 
 Victory. • 
 
 c . After Divine service in the morning, Chilhoosels, his wives, and other 
 Indians desired us to speak to them. They had come on purpose to meet 
 us. We also expcA^d Indians from another direction, led. by an Indian 
 named McKeuzie. • .. ' 
 
 By-and-bye all were assembled. It was under a tree on rising ginund. 
 They took their seats in a circle. One spread a blanket in the midst for 
 us to sit upon. Chilhoosels, dressed picturesquely in scarlet and black, sat 
 in a prominent place opposite. We commenced by sbging two verses of 
 the hundredth Psalm. I explained first the nature of the act. I fheaoffered. 
 up a prayer, that our heavenly Father would look with Messing upon our 
 feeble efiorts, and overrule Our stammering speech, to convey some leading 
 points of saving truth to these benighted children, and draw them to Hia 
 dear Son through our ministry. 
 
 At the close a^eautiful and deep impresuon rested upon the assembled 
 multitude. Every eye waa closed as in prayer, and so continuedL until vea 
 apoke. V 
 
 I then addrpased them. I told them who I was — ^my misuon. I showed 
 ihenti of their Heavenly Father; tht^ in Him they live, and move, and have

 cutting off from religion which was Incidental to the minor's life. They' 
 received our remarks with rfespect. My belief is many of these French and 
 others^ from Boman Catholic countries might be won t6 pure Christianity 
 by a faithful and vigorous ministry. 
 
 I next visited a companV of Englishmen. They are fine fellows. They 
 had attended service at Csiyoosh. They had been in California, and when 
 they were at the mines hod had no means -of grace. I spoke of my desire 
 to send a clergyman. They said they truly wished I might do so : the 
 mmers generally Mtould b^ glad, and they would willingly help towards his 
 support. One man said, " Yes, if one had a minister, the place would 
 lodt more like home." / Tears filled his eyes whep he talked of home. 
 When we bid them good-bye, they said; « We hope, sir, you wiU send us 
 a mmister, and we will jaU help to support him." 
 
 These hearty fellows were about to sit down .to supper, after a hard 
 days work. The weather had been hot, and they looked fagged; yet 
 they would have us wait and talk, and pressed us much to have some 
 supper with them.

 THE CHIEF OHIXHOOSKLS — ^LEivK-TAXINO BY INDIANS. 
 
 On our way to the mining bars thii evening we met three horsemen 
 coming towards Cayoosh at a tearing pkce : they were Indians. Two who 
 came on first, at once pulled up ahd grdeted us with enthusiasm. One wo 
 knew, the other was a fine boy of aboult thirteen. Th«^ latter told us he 
 was the son of Chilhoosels, to whom h^ pointed as coming up on the third 
 horse. Chilhoosels took off his cap, akd greeted uii^ affectionately. The 
 happiness of these three Indians in meeting us was remarkable. The boy 
 was especiaUy mteresting; as though Chilhoosels had told his chUdim 
 and friends to regard us highly. As we parted, the ffiief said his heart 
 went with us, and hoped our hearts would follow him. 
 
 There is somethinjff strik% in Chilhoosels. He is thoughtfal and 
 benign in couutendnob. Two Indians were with me yesterday who wer« 
 m of the good points of this chief: « Ojlier chie& often got angry. 
 There was S^egds, the chief of the Hoichton Indians, who beat and 
 sometimes killed his people ; but Chilhoosels was never ansrry, and praved 
 often to the Almighty Father." * ^' ^ ^ ' 
 
 Jttly 18.— My camp thu morning wais surrounded withJudUms Couie

 E'er two or three hours 1*hey waited, and came down to the wateiHude. 
 amyrished us good-bye. There were women also and>childr^. These 
 went away first. One man came to my tent-door, and said the women 
 were going away, and wished to see me. They had been there I shovddx 
 say three hours. I shook hands with' all. They fought also their chil- 
 .dren, and held them up for me to shake then- little hands. We crossed

 ACCIDKNT IN PACKINO EOB8E8— BREAKINO UP CAMP. 
 
 ^ All mprchandize ia carried here upon pack-horeos, the only exception 
 being that Indians olso carry goods. Pack-mules carry the heaviest loads 
 I saw mulefi to-day packed with neaily 400 lbs. of goods. There is a ' 
 groat art in ^packing; 6m/* is the thing to avoid, if a pack is in smiill 
 eompass much more can be carried than when the contrary. My packer 
 on this occasion was a young man not very well up to the art. Several 
 experienced packers were engaged at the Forif packing their own animals, 
 and two very kindly and disinterestedly gavo my man very valuable aid and 
 hints. One of them was pulling a rope with all his might attached to the 
 pack of one Of my horses when it broke, and he was precipitated back " 
 under the feet of another of my animals which, frightened, started and 
 kicked. Th# kick was with great force, but happily it missed tlie head 
 and struck the back and the shoulder of the worthy packer. I felt much 
 grwved. I left him.sittihg down. Ispoke to him of the narrow escape he 
 ha4 had, for had the blow struck the head a fractured skull must h^ve 
 i^ulted, ahd how thankful, therefore, we should be to Almighty God 
 He wM manly and patient. I couldjipt help, however, thinking much about - 
 hini all day. How neai- we corttlnuaBy are to eternity, yet how continually 
 18 the gracious haniJ-ahd care of our heavenly. Father, reyy to avert from 
 us many an evil. ' 
 
 • We did not get clear'away till two o'clock. The weather was very hot 
 and at about five we reached a camping greund on the river where all 
 ' settled for the night. "^ 
 
 One of «ur pack-horses having been passed by an Indian, who was 
 gomg at a canter, ^ook' to the same speed, notwithstanding his load.- A 
 verjr delicate bit of path was no hindrance. Though there was hardly 
 looting, in some places not six inches, and this upon a loose and moving 
 precipitous side of a mountain, he gidloped as though upon a broad road. 
 As was to b« expected, he lost his looting, jud went down the side. The 
 packer expected to see him roll over, and packs and all to be dashed to 
 atoms. Marvellous to say, he recovered himself, and pack and all 
 regained the narrow ledge, upon which he agtun proceeded to canter. I 
 ,wa» on before he came up to me. I was asked to stop him ; I did this by 
 filling up the path with my horse, and he came to a stand, and we thought 
 all was rwht Presently, however, he iui^ped on the bank above, and' 
 darted a-head. Later on he set off at foil gallop again^ came in contact 
 with a tree, which knocked his load, and scattered provision, carpet bags, 
 potB, and pans on. the way, and then continued for some distance, where 
 we found him quietly feeding. He allowed huuBelf to be caught, ridden 
 hatktfackpi a|;ain, and, witib some care on our part, came safely on the 
 rest of the way. '' 
 
 As I was breaking np camp, amongst others who drew near was a gold 
 miner. Jk was weH spoken and fiiendly. He came to say he wished me 
 
 deeply interesting to yon. , ^„„, 
 
 I spdte about sending a clergyman. - He said there 01 
 ttnongst them, iiod be ahould rejoice to see him.

 PACK-HORSES— LYTTON—SITTIlfd IN THE TENT DOOB. 41 
 
 Jtdy 19. — Camp life is peculioi'. Early hours is on© order of the day. 
 Our rule is to endeavour to have breakfast at six, and to get away about 
 «even, in order to have the cool hours for travelling. Ajb wq always camp 
 by a stream, oiw of the first comforts of the j^to me is a bathe. Ouf 
 Indian makes the fire. The packer looks aftii* tho^ horses. This morning 
 we had a difficulty ; one of our horses refused to be caught, so we>haa 
 to hunt him with the la&so. Our Indiui, McCasket, at length caught him, 
 and rode him inyto the camp in triumph. WiUiam cooks and attends to 
 the provision, and such important mattery. My chaplain and I take down 
 the tents, strap, and tie up the blankets, tents, and baggage in their 
 respective Wrappers. Then,v^hile the packer and the Indian are arranging 
 the pack-horses, we laddle the others, and fit on saddle-bags, and such 
 like occoutremento. Then a walk round to see that nothing be left, and 
 we set otf, a few Indianfl generally wishmg us good-bye. 
 
 We left our ground to-day about eight It was the same road I had 
 recently passed.' We came to the famous <VBlide," the tenor of packer^, 
 who usually avoid it> and prefer a round of twelve miles by the Ix>untain 
 rather, than risk the loss of a mule. We stopped to dine about twelve^ 
 at a refreshing oreek beyond th6 Slide, anti camped about six, weather fine, 
 but warm. ' ^ •« 
 
 tYTTON — SIl4lNO IN THB TKNT DOOB. 
 
 « Jtdp 20. — -Left our camp at eight, stopped folr dinner at one, at a oimp 
 beyond Spirithun's Flat, the Ten-mile House, and next afi;er the rooky 
 ridge; at half-past three^ we left this s^t, and reached Lytton at about 
 seven. 
 
 Soon after our arrival, Captain Ball, the magistrate, and Mr, 
 Elwyn, the magistrate of Cayoosh, now on a visit, came "to see us, and 
 helped to put up my tent. It was late before we &irly encamped, and 
 took bur«veni6g {iieal. 'We felt thankful, however, for the mercy we had 
 experienced in the journey, and having sung the Evening Hymn, retired 
 gladly to rest. • . 
 
 On our road, and at Cayoosh, prices of most things have been high. 
 At Cayoosh, bacon, forty-five and fifty cents per pound (a cent is a htuf- 
 penny); fbur, sixteen cents per pound ; coffee, fifty eclats per pound ; 
 suga^ thirty-seven and a halt cents per pound ; beef, twenty to> twenty- 
 five cilnts^r pound ; milk twelve and a half cents per pint Yet all this 
 is thought cheap, considering what prices wore. '^ 
 - A fat ox, dr rather an ox sufficiently fat to kill, is sold at ftrty dollars, 
 weighing four hundred pounds, having been driven from Oregon. 
 
 Columbia does n<ft abound in the feathered tribe. ,J have seen, however, 
 eagles, hawks^ rooks, jays, grouse, duck, loons, robins (as large as blat^- 
 birds, and good eating), humming-birds. 
 
 At Cayoosh our service was held in the house of a ^»nch Bomaa 
 Catholic. It was just built, but liot yet occupied. The place was a large 
 ujppef room, unfurnished. I thanked him afterwards, and he said he was 
 TCTy happyjtOLliayeJbeMi able to 'kocommo date-iifte^^

 gnlloping after us. It was our other pack-horse ; he had run off, not 
 liking to be separated from his companion; the ropes wc^ hanging to, 
 . him. but hi» burden had* been knocked away. / •» 
 
 While we waited for the reloading /6f our runaway pack, wo entered 
 into conversation with Indians, who came forth ^ greet us as chiefs aS^ 
 ministeifl of God. There were two old men and some little children. 
 A Chinaman" caftiq up ; he could'speids^a little English, and said he was a 
 heddman. There was something more/pleasing alMut him than uitual with 
 the Chinese, and this, notwithstanding his Tart(||r ©ountenance ; thfe 
 Indian^ looked upon him with an evident sense of their own superiority. 
 It was amusing to see their patronizing manner, When they spoke to 
 John Chinaman. They hold the Chinese in great contempt. Both- 
 races however resjpect ourselves. It w^ an interesting circumstance 
 that Missionaries from the Church of Eijgland should be sitting in th^ 
 midst of Chinese,'^ and Indians, in tlmt jwild spot, seeking an entrance 
 within their hearts for the saving faith {of Jesus. How much on such 
 . occasions can one realise the one love of Gjod for all, and the bond of union 
 for time and eternity Christ is unto all njttions. We camped at night on 
 the same spot I had occupied on the 29th of June. It come on to rain, 
 and poured heavily during the night ; the|e was thunder and a great wind. 
 Our merciful God preserved us safe. I , " 
 
 Julif 24. — Rose at half-past foifr, off at e\g}k, crossed ttie Jackass- 
 mountain by the summit ; I had §l0\e rouiid before, and intended to do so 
 again, though pack animals do not geneUlly take that route, which is 
 ' dangerous. Not beihg up with the rest when the road diverged, my 
 packer took the safer trail, and mounted ihe summit, by which, however, 
 we were delayed in our progress. We dinbd at Loo's Bridge, and stayed 
 from one to four ; the weather was very hot 
 
 At the half-way house the people receive^ us kindly. There are several 
 l^ouses, and mining flats wilh houses alsbi gardens too, and a butcher's 
 shop ;■ we got meat'and vegetables. " { 
 
 Our animals were frequently admired'; to-day the butcher particularly 
 noticed the "rigging." "Sir, do you dean to say you travel without • 
 revolvers ? " " Oh, yes," said I. " Sir, Ij consider that very rash," 
 
 One of the storekeepers is a young man [of pleasing manner. He told 
 me Mr. Crickmer, iji passing backf had given them a service, which was 
 highly appreciated, and attended by some twenty men. He said he always 
 liked to attend such opportunities, and was imuch pleased at the disQoorse. 
 He .is an American, and I should think would always help ns, ted give 
 notice of seirvices if we at any time could let him kndw when about to 
 pass that way. We camped about two miles further on, at our old ground, ' 
 where our conference took place with Wahilah, ohief of ihe Qiliayomes. 
 
 Had converse with Indians here ; this is that part where I met Wahilab. 
 
 One worthy Indian, when he heard we wanted salmon, went and fetched 
 
 'some, refusing to take money for it. His mother came also and presepte4 
 
 a basket of berries. I had met^this Indian before, he is a friend of 
 
 SaoheFi — ' — ". . " '. ' . ^'' " • '- ■ ' 
 
 During the evening I went out to bathe, the spot was a lonely one; as 
 I was letting upon the brink of the stream, I looked up, and thefe stood 
 before me a sinister-looking Indian, brandishing a large knife in his

 hand. Ho stood thcro and watched mj proceedings. I was considerably 
 startled, but concealed my surprise as well as I could, and told him who I ' 
 was, and particularly that I Wiwa King George's man. Ho was very 
 black, and I told him I thought it would bo a very good thing if ho were 
 to wash a little oftener in the ^ure stream, pointing, at the same time to 
 thick coots of dirt upon his skin. Ho sahl ho woshcd at homo; I gave 
 him somo^odd pieces of soap, wiih which he wos pleased, and I was glad 
 when my dark friend took himself off. 
 
 * Julp 25.— lAsh camp at eight; passed an Indian encampment; thofe 
 wore about ten men, no women ; they were pla^nng cards, and the cArdH 
 seemed a new pack ; the game was a simple one ; every card is of eflHal 
 value ; they deal out the pack ; ettch player takes up thrfts, and never holds 
 more in his hand, when his turn to play comes he must throw down a card, 
 if there is one of the same number or picture he takes it, and a second, a^d 
 a third, if the number correspond, and he supplies his hand with enough 
 to make them up again from his deal. Whoever at the end has taken up 
 most cards wins. Gambling has olwoys been a propensity of these Indians ; / 
 they will sit for hours and gamble away every thing thoy possess, even to 
 the last article of clothing. 
 , A Chinese has lately been murdered. The Chinese are angry, and lay 
 
 this crime to the charge of the Indians. At Kpalthoo, the Indians very 
 anxiously asked us if it were true that the Indians were to be murdered, 
 because of that Chinaman's death. They said thot Chinese in largo parties 
 had bSen to them, charging them with the murder, and saying they should 
 soon be very numerQus, and then they would kill all the Indians. I ex- . 
 • plained to^hem, that in British territory no one could take the law into 
 his own hands. I said the law was equal against all, and for all. In a 
 murder, death was the punishment. The Most High had> said, that His 
 will was that, " Whosoever sheddeth mah's blood, by man shall his blood 
 _^ shed," and that it was all the same whether King George's man, 
 Boston man. Chinaman, or Sawash (Indian), were guilty, £e murderer must 
 suffer death. I said it was wrong to charge the Indians with this muitler 
 unless there was proof, and thoy might rest assured, that as long as they 
 obeyed the laws and did right, they would have no hurt, and no one should 
 touch them with impunity. They were much pleased with this aasuranoe, 
 and I trust the feeling that was rising would he allayed. 
 /. .."^^^ Sowanna Indians who wore engaged in gambling did not seem 
 friendly. I asked them about /the Chinese murder ; they said they tnew 
 noAing about it. I asked if they had caught any salmon ; they said, 
 "Halo salmon ;" this was false, for a fine salmon was hanging up over 
 theur heads ^ to this I pointed and they laughed. There was something 
 mysterious abbut this party of Indians^no women, all stout and warlike. 
 I cfflanot help thinking the impression was upon them that the Chinese 
 ' meditated revenge, and that they were prepared to resist; I could hot, 
 ^ however, gather this from them. 
 
 On coming within six or seveh miles of Boston Bar, we passed a' 
 tree on which a paper was affixed with the following wilting;— "A few

 hod then promised me he would do all he could to stop ^is people froitt^^

 his people transgressed in this matter, notwithstanding all hb exe?tions. 
 
 In a shed near the store of Mr. Brassey, I observed two fine youths 
 busily engaged playing cards. At seven' o'clock we left Boston Bar, 
 intending to camp a few miles out on the way. A very steep mountain 
 over we reached our ground, and the moon enabled us to see to put up our 
 tenti Mosquitoes were morcnumcrous here than at any spot I have visited 
 yet. We believed this pkce to be called Mud Sperry, which may account 
 for the musquitoes. 
 
 July 26. — ^Left camp at eight. We have found plenty of grass. Our 
 Wute Ifiy over |evenu ridges running parallel to each other towards 
 the river Anderson, which now we at length reached at about twelve miles 
 from Boston Bar. Here we dined and camped. It ^ a pleasing spot. 
 Close to die first crossing, the water is clear, sparkling, and rapid. - 1 had 
 two delightful bathes. 
 
 I pitched my camp.m the midst of strawberries and other fruitflT Aftev 
 dinner I gitthered strawbeiries which had an eieellent flavour ; also serrico 
 berries, and, from a tree overhanging my tent, I could get a dish of nuts. 
 
 JtUy 27.— Left ground at half-past six. Bode across the Anderson oiv 
 a single tree. About two miles on are the forks of the trail. We tutned np 
 the wrong way — ^Uiat to Yale, and on disoorering our mistake, fixed up a 
 notice that others might not go astray. About two mileir on we leHsrassed 
 the Anderson, fording it with our animals. We now followed the ridley of 
 the Anderson in an easterly direcdon, passing several creeks and good 
 campmg ^t>und, though not much grass. It nuned most of the mornings 
 and the wet trees through which we passed added to the discomfort. We 
 stopped to lunch by the river, at a place about ten miles from our morning 
 camp, where as plenty of a kind o/l vetch. Mr. Langooydt called it dover. 
 Our hwses, however, did not relish it. We made a good fire ^fore some 
 trees, under which we had shelter, and got our wet ctothing well dried.

 and then to gam a higher flat, or to aivoid a difficulty, or to save distance. 
 At twelve I stopped to luncheon and to rest my horse. I had been three- 
 quarters of an hour when Mr. Sheepshanks joined me. We stopped a like 
 additional period, and then went on, the traU being for the most Vart very 
 good, and affording frequent opportunity for a canter. We met a pack train 
 with barley, and purchased a feed for our liorses on the spot We ciAne 
 gently along at the last, and reached Hope at eight. The day cleared np

 This trail I consider to be fuU of interest. It is new ; therefore, at pw- *

 RFPBCT8 OF TUB JOVUSKY. 
 
 Moat people have oxpttssaod thoir opinion that I am looking altered 
 from the effecta of this journey. I certainly have bad a rougher time than 
 I ever oxporienoed, and have had to do aome amount of hard, phyaical 
 labour. My dresa has become tattered, my shoes worn out, and my 
 appearance anything but clerical. As I entered Hope, near the bridge, 
 Mr. Hutchinrf said, "Why.slr, y<j| look like a miner." I '♦as in • 
 coloured woollen shirt, no waiatcoat, no neok-cloth, and coat in holes. 
 Yet I have enjoyed my journey much. • I thank my Heavenly Father for 
 HiH care and protection over me, and I feel gratiti^e for tho opportunity He 
 has given me of apeaking in His nonie, and of seeking the souls Qf ihy 
 fellow-sinners. But, oh my God, how deeply do I deplore my shortcomings, 
 and my deficiencies. How much have I lacked (he love of souls in my 
 heart, and bow faint has been the dedication of myself to Him who died 
 f»r me. Grant me Thy abundant Grace Ifi the fij^ure, that all these 
 precious opportunities of good may be duly improved by me, to Thj 
 great glory and the welfare of immortal souls, and to the blessing of my 
 own weak, helpless, and sin-laden self. : 
 
 This evening I drank tea with Colonel and Mrs. Moody, and discussed , 
 the plan of a church for Hope. 
 
 I met during the day Mr. Ogden, ivho is the Hudsoil Bay Company's 
 agent at Fort James Stewart Lake. He has been many years there, 
 living ainong the Indians, and comes away but once a year with the 
 brigade. 
 
 , I met also a promising young man, Mr. Saunders, who is in the Hiidspn 
 Bay Compony's employ ; going to take charge of their fort at Alexander; 
 and a Mr. McKoy, going to Cayoosh and Kamloops, with his young wife. 
 These two last, I trust and believe, will in their respective' districts do all 
 tiiey can for the progress of religion, and the Church of Engknd in par- 
 ticular.

 Augud 4. — Tascholak came to-day again and brought his two wlfes. 
 
 StalotBaloto (youngoHt) mid Khalowitn ; and hi« two boys, Molaslaton and 
 Karkaywill. Ono wife looked a dozen years older than tho other. Tho 
 •Ider had eleven silver rings, the yourtger ten rings on the hands. He 
 had had eight children by his two wives, had lost six. Khalowits had lost 
 five, tho other one ; each had ono left. I showed him the Koomptchin idol. 
 He said Fort Hope Ihdians had none of these, but he understood what it 
 meant. He told me he endeavoured to train up his children peaceably 
 and would not let them steal, He said ho never got angry, and gave him- 
 self otherwise an exalted character, with which his wives agreed. He 
 concluded by asking for a bit of paper with soma writing upon it. Tho 
 two women were extremely well-behaved, their hf«ds were nicely covered 
 and their hair braided, they had on each a comfortable English shawl, and 
 were dressed in ooloored linen gowns as country people in England. 
 Taschclak said he should be very glad if his children could be instructed. 
 « I spoke to them about QtoA and the work of Christ. 
 
 This evening Mr. Pringle, Mr. Dundas, and I rode out by the Lake to 
 the Canyon of tho Qucqucalla. The scenery was beautiful and the weather 
 pleasant after the rain. ,; 
 
 Aug. 6, Sunday. — Before church, Pachallak, tho cWef of the Hop« 
 Indians, and a great chief ujpon the river, came with my friend Tascholdk 
 of yesterday, to see me. They came twice last evening, but I was o«t. 
 Pachallak is an old man, in full vigour, and of considerable influence. He 
 has a thoughtful and benign countenance. He was dressed well, and wore 
 
 gloves, which he pulled off to shake hands. I arranged with him to meet 
 is tribe to-day, and speak to them about sacred things. I afterwards 
 went to his house, ana saw his wife and daughter,j and a son, about 
 sixteen, a very fine youth, and a favourite evidently with his father. He 
 came to the service in the afternoon, dressed in a coat of many colours, 
 and was remaricable for his devout attention. I thought of Joseph, and 
 his coat of many colours. This youth's name is Pow-hallak. 
 
 At about half-past three, Indians b^an to assemble, and i^n fiUed the 
 place, a large store. Several white men also came in. \ 
 
 Old Pachallak was in his place. \ • - 
 
 I explained to the white persons preseni my desire to iiistenot the

 On board were two respectable looking men. They were American

 Ik I was much strubk on approaching the town by tho river ^ the new 
 oburih.* It stands well, and comes out in good proportions. I visited it ; 
 it is roofed, and the work is well done. It reflects great credit ji^n Capttfin 
 Lempriere, who designed it, I dined at the camp. /

 I am thankfiil to have been able thus early to^traverae the principal 
 Inhabited portion of my diocese. It has pleased God to give me health, 
 strength, and protection during. the last three months, in joumeyings and 
 perils by land and by waters, amidst a strangely mixed and peculiar 
 ^pulation. 
 
 " My belief in the progress of the colony has been confirmed, there is no 
 doubt now, upon any single mind as to the vast resources and attractions 
 in inincral wealth. There is considerable agricultural land in .the lower 
 portipn of the Fraser, that is'to toy along the river up to Hope; on either 
 side large tracts invite the farmer, more especially about the. Chilewaak, 
 the Pitt Riverj and Hope, to a fair ij^tum of capital and* labour. Above 
 this poJht the qountix^s difficult. o^ Access, rough and mountainous, unless 
 ywi get some fiftv miles through the Cascade Range. Nothing could have 
 opened this tract except its mineral produce. It would drive back the 
 sturdiest traveller. It did send back, at the first, thousands in poverty 
 and despair.V « *^ *' 
 
 Beycmd t^ difficult tract, be^nning at Boston Bar, there is again 
 myitation for (be farmer. Extensive flats now open out on either side of 
 the river, covered with a nutritictbs bunch grass. Our hones were never 
 without abundance of food in that district; cattle fatten- upon it even 
 when the summer heat has turned it \nto hay as it grows; but even this 
 country is not at'^tresent accessible. The mountains frequently close in 
 upon it, or ravines separate one portion from another, and the river b m 
 no part navigable, but a furious and dangeixius torrent, at least in the 
 summer portion of the year. Beyond Cayoosh I did not go, but at that 
 point, some 250 miles up the Fraser, the country is said to be more open, 
 the flats lu>ger, the grass more abundant, and, judging from several fields 
 of «>»rfey and oats which I saw, sufficien%<|;|ch to produce grain. I was 
 Hd, however, the season had been unusually favourable fi»m the run that 
 
 d fiillen at intervals. 
 
 The upper country, I heard from many persons, was very suitable for. 
 nrmmg operations on a large scale; Cayoosh being the termination, or 
 nearly so, of the mountain region. 
 
 I have little doubt these difficulties of access will be removed by the - 
 formation of roads. Ah«ady something has been done, and miners at 
 Cayoosh were rejoicing, in .T.ilv. tW. flm.r w.^ , i.i.n, jw_- ia ^^^

 petitioQ, it has fallen to 12 cent»— t. e. 7»^ a stone. In ooune of time, 
 ravines will be bridged and obstnictiTe rocks blasted, and both (oil and 
 time saved. 
 
 The auspieious character of the country being now established, and the 
 salubrity of the. climate undoubted, it only remains for population and 
 capital, to develope it; this we desire should come nvm Enghmd.^ 
 There must be made, sooner or later, discoyerics of rich quaiW— the* 
 source of the gold which is found in its disintegrated state so widely. 
 Other metallic wealth is known tor exist. Probably, from this time, a 
 steady increase of population will take place, and a few years will see 
 British Columbia a flourishing representative of Great Britain on the 
 Paciii($ coast. It is most probable that the first sncoesses will be reaped by 
 Qur enterprising American friends, who will pour in, and use their Cal|- 
 fomian experience to good purpose. We trust, however. Englishmen will 
 come and share the advantage, bring capital and improve it, and aid to 
 establish the constitution of England in all its security — ^fair dealing and 
 purity, as well as freedom. 
 
 As a gold country advances, capital for miners beoomJBs absolutely 
 necessary. 
 
 BBUOION AND HOBALS— DIFFICpXTlBB— TARIKTT OF ^ACBB. 
 
 In every place lut one, and that the capital, I have found no religious 
 (efforts but such as are made by the Church of England. It b, indeed, » 
 cause of thanksgiving, that we are enabled thus early to enter upon a peld stT 
 manifestly and so urgently calling for religious means. Happy, I am 
 sure, will our dear friends in England be, who have stirred themselves ;80 
 nobly, to find that they have been most opmrtune in their aid, and have 
 enabled the Gfqspel to be preached where ncnvitness for Christ was heard ; 
 and have, moreover, caused that at least the reproach of neglect, and late, 
 tardy aid, shall not re6t, in this Diocese, upon the Modier Church of 
 England. -' ■- *• ■,:'■.'%'■' .-^ 
 
 The state of rell^oa is as low as it can possibly be amongst eivfliaed 
 people; there is no recognition of it. The Sunday is a -day of business, 
 and pleasure, and revelling. Some of the mining class are open profanera 
 of the name of Qod, and some are what are cklled « Free-thinkenk.'* 
 Moral|i, I fear, are equally &r 6rom what is right in the sight of Ood. 
 Some^iave acknowledged to me their dislike of the ungodly and immtnvl life 
 which they, in common with those around thon, are leading. With odiers, 
 sin is a' matter of indiflferenoe ; they will speak of their acts and disparage 
 religion with the most unblushing boldness,j and without an effort. It has 
 often struck me that, amongst a large elaa^ who have been trained under 
 a corrupt system, &ith and shame have departed utterly from them. 
 We complain in England of the little hold religicm has upon many of the 
 artiwn dass in our large towns ; but I never met wiUi anything at all 
 approaching to the calculating and niatter-of-oouTse infidelity whitji pre- 
 
 vwIb amonpmmie who hAVe bete trained in America. Tb^y teemed to 
 hi^ve had nill Hoenao to preseirve every unfiuthfiil thought, and neiror Uk

 Yet, with aU this, there is a kindnese, and efen polish, in the American

 Iwaseyervwhere kindly received, and in some cases, I believe, wel- 
 wmed. for w%on's sake. Allowance most be made, no doubt, for the

 elements ; yet Ihey are the bulk of the people. We'shall be nowhere, if

 thauklul ; to clean my own shoes, wash my clothes, make my bed, attend 
 to horses, pitch tents, land oil such matters have become easy duties. There 
 is no merit in doing tpis ; everybody here docs such things. I note them 
 down in order to recohl my thankfulncBS at finding myself permitted, wit^ 
 so little difScult^y, to tlake this necessary part in furtherance of my ministry. 
 May QoA grant me, oif His loVe and mercy, to spend and be spent in a true 
 spirit of devotedness to my Saviour, who hath sent me to preach .the 
 iiospel and bring in sinners to His Cross. 
 
 I have had encouragement ; I have spoken publicly and privately to 
 many; I have disoommod to my, fellow-sinners in the stores, me hut, and 
 by the wayside. 
 
 I have often seen the glistening tear &i the eye at the sound of the 
 tiding^ of a Saviour's love. ' I have seenithe sign of smitten conscience 
 manifested in the flushed htA of the rough and hardy sinner. I have been 
 wished G(^ speed on my work in accents which left nO doubt of sincerity. 
 
 I have stUl soundmg in my eari^ the^st words from a miner's party 
 
 " Be sure, sir, and send us a mij^|g^^d we will support him," words at 
 
 JiBt 
 «d 
 
 iO moment which drew ^'^^^^UKL9^''^ ^7^ > <^°^ I ^"■'^^^ ^e fullest 
 irsuatton, did not Qod give |PPPIi9daragement, that His word spoken, 
 en by sack feeble lips as ouni, cannot go ^rth and return void, but will 
 sccomplish that whereunto it Eas been sent.^;'' , , 
 
 One case I may here mention. In myjoumid of the 29th of June, I 
 have noted an instance of reproof to a swearer. The Bev. Mr. Criduuer, 
 one of my most zealous afid useful clergy was with me. He afterwards 
 returned alone the same way. An interesting letter from him gives me an 
 account of his journey, and the happy opportunities he had of holding 
 services. He says,, "one case, especially, I must adduce which showed 
 the good resulting from my going over the ground so soon again. Your 
 Lordship reproved, a man for swearing — an impudent but pleasant sort of 
 face ; it wonderfully struck him ; it gave me a- good opportunity in con- 
 versation to follow up the wound; he came to the serrioe. Next day when 
 I got to Ensley's Flat, thdre was the man again. His oountonanoe 
 was changed ; his eye sank before mine, not with a cowed, but with a 
 sabdued look, which told that some chord had been struck when that man 
 was reproved for swearing, whi(di promised, under God's blessing,' to pro- 
 duce no smaU diange in his mind, and pay be, under future Providenoe, 
 in his life also." I had the gratification moreover to find that Ulter my 
 visit, and by the zealous efforts of Mr. Fringle and Mr. Crickmor, in the 
 two towns of Hope and Yale, steps \j^ been taken to lessen the Sunday 
 desecration. 
 
 . So that in the midst of some trials and di£Bculties, we are not left with-r 
 out encouragement. May we more arifl more be stimulated by Ibe precept 
 and ther promise of the Apostle, "Be ye steadfiMt, unmoveable, always 
 abounding in 'the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour 
 is not in vun in the Lord/'

 EXCURSION BY THE BISHOP IN VANCOiCVER'S 
 -. . ISLAND. 
 
 BABCLAY SOUND INDIANS VALUING EDUCATION. 
 
 T , , . , VifTOBiA, November 17, 1860. 
 
 1 con only sond ydu a short letter. I mentioned in my ]aA my inten- 
 tion to visit Barclay Sound, and a new settlement recentPy formed on the 
 west coast of tliis island. I have been much interested by my visit. 
 
 Not the least interesting feature of this settfemcnt fa its proximity to 
 numerous Indian tribc8g|[hich have ii^ yet become cdntaminated bv the ^ 
 vices of Europeans. Drunkenness is hardly known amongst them. They "^ 
 speak a different language from the Indians herejind on the north-east <- 
 coast. I had several intoi^sting xonferences with them. I am most 
 anxious to flpen a Mission to them. The principal tribe is called the 
 Shesliftat. The language is spoken by all tribes for 200 miles up the west 
 or Pacific const of Vancouver. The southern and south-eastern tdbgde is 
 the CmoitcJien, for which we have our Indian Mission here; and the 
 other, or third language of the islani, prevails along die east or inside 
 cciast for I suppdbe 160 miles. „ 
 
 Fort RupeH is ^he chief jjlace. Recently the Fort Rupert Indians were 
 excited about the d joth of a chyjf who was killed by the Songees Indians. 
 IW officers of H.M.S. Plum/per found them preparing an expedition of 
 revenge. They threatened to slay man, woman, and child of the Songees 
 or Tictoria Indians. They were told such deeds could not now be allowed. 
 The laws of England now prevail If they are wronged, the law will 
 avenge. They replied— "You tell us about the laws of England. You 
 say they are good and you expect us to obey, but how do we know the 
 laws? If they are so good, why do you not send teachers to us? There 
 are our neighbours, the Chimsyans; you have sent them teachers. ITiey , 
 can read and write. They make us now ashamed. We cannot stand up 
 before the Chimsyans." They referred to our Church MissionaVy woA 
 amongst the Chimsyans at Fort Sinipsbn.

 Barclay Sound iso bay of some twelve miles in width and twelve in depth.; 
 it is studded with islands, and many small rivers flow into it ; at the heail^ 
 is the Alberno lak^-^reminds me of Loch Ness — extending twenty mnir** 
 inland, and at the head of this again is a circular bay about two miles in 
 diameter. Here is rising up a new settlement, established by a London 
 shipping firm, James Thompson and Co., for the procurement of "spars" 
 arid timber of other kinds. Here were located more than forty persons, 
 amongst them two " ladies "^-all are " ladies" here— from Norfolk, two 
 respectable young women married to superior artisans. I stayed ten days 
 ah4 had services. The crew of the Grappler attended also. 
 
 I will now give jjou an extract or two from my journal to deftcribe the 
 kind of work. * ,

 of the Sayiour's kingdom gathering of all people, and the spreading of the 
 Gospel for a witness in all the worid. I preachled upon prayef. During 
 the dayjIndiaifB came about, wondering at our psalmody and asking what 
 it meant. 
 
 Sunday, Oct. 28.— -In the afternoon the Indians of the Sheshiat tribe 
 were collected in the " upper room." There were present the two principal 
 chiefs. ^ I spoke to ,them in their own language up<m a few simple subjects 
 of reli^on, such as, Ood made all things — made man good ; sin came, and 
 death — God displeased — Jesus came — His love and work — God roconcUed 
 — Heaven — Hdl. The Indian agent, Mr. Banfield, told' do they under- 
 stood.^ I irust some glimmer of truth may have reached those two men, 
 and thai several of weir tribe may have been touched with a wish to 
 make inquiries. One Indian chief brought ine- presents, and I gave him 
 and the other a blanket each. 
 
 Lieutenant Helly and myself, with three Indians, started in a canoe Car 
 the river Olcestaikuitt, which runs into the bay. Wo passed two small 
 rivers: on either side were rich prairies and moadmvs, covered with grass, 
 ready fur herds of cattle. Varied trees buwecniownlupon the water. 
 Noble Douglas pines 160 or 200 feet, cetlars, nippies with the brightest 
 yellow tints of auburn, the nider,^d a tree with leaves of deep crimson, 
 lined the bank. Wild-fowl flew around in abundajico— geese and 7uckB 
 iiummerable. The river literally swai-med with salmon. .They swam 
 against the canoe, Uiey scrambled out of the way, they rushed up to shoal ^ 
 wat^-, where they floundered about; thoJndiafi8"8tnick them ^n the side,, 
 and I knocked them on the head. 1 saw many caught or speared; their 
 average Itoat load of salmon weighed each from tif^een to twenty-five 
 ■pqunds. The river is about one hundred yards wide."^ The gentle winding' 
 of the stream, its placid flow, wi£lt the noble trees and meadows, reminded 
 ^ of the Thames between Kichmond and Winibor. 
 
 After some time ^e came to the Sheshiat village. We visited the 
 lodges, wluch.are square boarded hduses, of roof and sides. .The people 
 are a fine race, but meanly clad ; men and women all but leaked, and vei^ 
 shy. T'hey were somewhat alarmed, but, on the whole, pleased to see us. : 
 Great quantities of sahnon were in all stages of preparation for winter use, 
 scmie ojpeu uid midetgimig the process* lof smoking. Th^ women were 
 nuiJung oil, and 'cooking, and mat-making. They have no metal 1)ot 
 Instead of boiling the pot over the fire, they have woodpn boxes, the kKle» 
 of which are sewn together. In them are placed the articles to be cooked, 
 thai water, then red-hot stones. V , •• |" .

 EXCURSION IN VANCdUVER'B ISLAND. 
 
 walked bj a nhorter way through the fo/ost. We launohoil again from a 
 bank of iho lake, from which was a ilo)iji;htfuI view ; ialaiids aiiU haya aud 
 distant mountains, soTeral sorts of troe|^ and placid water, with a bright 
 day and blue aky, formed items of thin Pleasant ncone. The lako is toat6 
 five or MX miles wide, and twehty-tivel miles in length. The valley, in^ 
 which it lay enibusonied, was some tcA to twelve miles in breadth, and' 
 thirty-five to fortv in feigth. The Indians call the lake Cleeeoot. We 
 paddled about till the sun set, and tfien, ^y a bright moon, made our 
 way back, and reached the ship abou^niue o'clovk. 
 
 (^- 24. — The treatment of an lAdian on board the Orappler was an 
 exciting scene. He was tied up formogging — his people thoi^ght he was 
 going to be killed. They had knivc/s, and for a short time it was doubtful 
 whether tliey would turn upon us a|Ad stab each his man, or whether they 
 would leap overboard. The wife of the chief got out of the canoe, mounted 
 the side of the ship, and renroached her spouse for want of spirit. •■ " Why 
 don't you fight? fight for the honour of your race, and be a man 1 Die, 
 rather than be disgraced ! " Such was the speech of this fiery lady. Three 
 chiefs then came forward iu a solemn manner with three seal-skina in, 
 compensation for the injury done. The aggrieved person, a white man, 
 then begged the Indian off, aAid he was released. I then addr^sed the 
 Indians. Speaking of God, who was good, who hated evil, and of Jesus 
 yChrist who had died ; I exhorted them to do well, and that one day there 
 Would be blessing and reward for the righteous, and eoudemnatiun for 
 he wicked. 
 
 I showed them the Bible, told them it was the word of God, and that 
 my desire was they -should know it, for it contained a message to them as 
 will as to us. At length they went aw^y with |:ood feeling; but not 
 b0^ their chief had addressed those present, who were strangers from, 
 other tribes. «• Thuik not," he said, " that the Shesh&ats alone are bad; 
 amongst you are many quite as bad 'as this man, about whom all this talk' 
 has been to-day." It was interesting to see his anxiety that the honour of 
 his trib« should not suffer in the estimation ttf his neighbours. 
 ^ Mr. ^rpat and I took a walk in the ftnest. We walked severaHiours, 
 and ill returning lost our way and became {entangled in the dense^ibrest.

 TH!E INDIAN MISSION AT VICTORIA. 
 
 The fol(owing communication was recently recdiVed from.the 
 Rsv, Alixandi£B Ohaiilbs Gabkett, Principal of the Victoria 
 Mission to the Native Indians. It was written as a. letter tp hia 
 brother, and, probably, strict rules of propriety might require 
 ' much of its language to be modified, and many of. its expressions 
 • refined-; but it is felt that any attempt to bring it iAto shape more 
 suited for ordinary publication would destroy the ft-eshnesfl. 
 of the pictures it contains, and lessen its real value. Borne 
 indulgence is claimed for it under the circumstances.

 Qet. fl. — Saw a large crowd consisting of some twolTOndred people, men 
 and women (iH^sideH children, who ilitte<l about in clouds), seated upon the 
 gn>und in an oval ring. In the centre of this ring was a Tost itei^) of 
 ship-biscuit, about the size, at the base, of a l&rge sheet, and going up as 
 high as thoy could be made to stand.' At«ne end Qf this display of food 
 waa a pile of bread consisting of several loaves, and at the other end.^ras : 
 ' a good-sized cask of treacle, fiefore each. Individual were thrae and~Bome- 
 times four vessels — tubs, dishes, pads, bdsin's, and what not. A host of 
 waiters moved about the ring, some carrying bifx^uits, some bread, and 
 qome ti'paole, and depositing them in ^e vessels before each of the com- 
 pany. These waiters hod their faces painted in the most fiufastio style, 
 but had on clean dresses of flanfiel and looked respectable. The teeaole- 
 cask was presided over by an individual of tierce and forbidding aspeot,' 
 who added to his natural hide^usncss by painting his face in a manner 
 which distinguished him from his neighbonn, but did not give him a 
 pleasing look. He was naked to the waist, his body being tattooed with 
 tome blueish substance. He wore trousers, but protected them from 
 injury by an i^iron of sack. Thus attired, and armed with a huge tin 
 ladle, he dispensed with unceasing liberality the sweeta of the treosuro 
 committed to his charge.,, ■ When the vessels which all had brought wero 
 full, and a complete clearance had been made of the biscuits, dee., the 
 people arose in a body and rotired to their huts. 
 
 On inquiring into the meaning of all this, I ascertained that a chief had 
 died^nd that his firiends, to mark the greatness of his dignity, and of their 
 gridfand respect, had given this feast to all the membra of their tribe 
 Hero. This is their constant practice, they told me, and is common among 
 all the triH&s of Queen Charlotte ' Island. These wore Hydah Indiana

 Oa. 29.— WentyTOund with the doctor. All the pntieots doing well. 
 .Found in one houscf a child about ten months old, very ill and dying, but 
 not from measles. The child was held upon the mother's knee, while a 
 very old man, whoso skill in medicine none dared to doubt, squatted at the 
 woman's feet. ,He held the child with both hands round die waist, and at 
 the same time kept bellowing into its ear as loud as he could roar. The 
 operation was a most painful one to witness. I stopped him, and had the 
 child examined. The doctor pronoiyioed it past relief. It was dying 
 from inflammation of the lungs. I spok^to the mother about God's love 
 and our Lord's atoning work. \.*

 Nov. 12. — While busy in the tribe vhioh cornea from Gold Harbour, 
 Queen Oliarlotte Taland, I was paused by the long and naiisionate wail 
 which eiBAiiatod from a lioune, and went tu nee what was the cause. On 
 entering I found a niutbcr with diHhu^'llud hair sitting before a chair in 
 which was propped up on pillows the Itody of her dead child I She had 
 {minted his face ficrv red ; there was a Inrge silver ring in his nose, a new 
 cap on his head, and the body dressed with the best she had in the shape 
 P of embroidered blankets, dee. She was gating upon tho still features, and 
 crying as though she was determined to make .the loved one hear and 
 return to her bosom. So intent was she upon her work, tliat I entered 
 unnoticed, and stood for some time a silent ond unobserved spectator of the. 
 scene. At length I addressed her, and, after gaining her attention by a 
 series of inquiries about die length nnd nature, of its illness, &c. I spoke to 
 her of Jesus and tho resurrection, of heaven, holiness, sin, and hell. She 
 listened at first without renting to care much for what I said. Oraduallj, 
 as the ideas dawned uponher benighted mind, lier face changed its expres- 
 sion of sadness for ono of ihguiry, passing on to desire and anxiety, and 
 ending in gladness and joy. She diHrnisscd her tears, and for a time forgot 
 her 8Q|T0W,. Never did I see tnbv^i;1orious hope of on infant's interest in 
 the blood-shedding and kingdom of J^(u produce sucli a decided and glad- 
 some effect. 
 
 SAO&KD ntAIT OT THK B^NOKBS. 
 
 Dtc. 16. — When crossing the "bridge to tlie Indian School to-day, I 
 was astonished by a very loud noise proceeding from one of the houses of 
 tl^Songeds. Guided by the sound, I entered the house to see what was 
 gonial on. Fur a time, so addling was tho. din, I could make nothing 
 of it. \ At length, by force of inquiry, and pressing through the crowd to 
 the fit>^, I witnessed the following scene :•— A space, about forty fdet bj 
 tweuty feet, bad been carefully swept ; three large bright fires were burning 
 upon th6 earthen floor ; round three sides of tlus space a bench was fixed, 
 upon wbich were packed, as close as they could fit, a crowd of young 
 women. I do not think there were any men or boys among them, but 
 there being only the light bf the fires, I could not see very distinctly. 
 Each of these tudividlials wos' armed with two sUcks. In froiit of them, 
 extending dl tlie way round th^ rectangular space, was a breadth fA white 
 calico. TJudd: this calico the row of sticks exhibited themselves. Upon the 
 g^und, in the comer on my right, was a young man provided with a good- 
 sized bo)^, which he had fixed upon an angle and used as a drum. Also, 
 on the ground, still nearer to me, sat an old man and an old woman ; and £bit 
 upon the -ground, apparently dead, lay a female chief, with her head re- 
 clining in the lap of the old crone ; while around me there stood a motley 
 
 time the ohoir upon the benches kept up a sort of mixture between a howl 
 and a wail, while they beat time upon the bench with the forest of sticks 
 with which they were armed, our friend upon the ground making his woodra 
 drum eloquent of noise. It is utterly vain to attempt to give any descriptioii

 until there iiould havo licon no part of hor Innly whicli did not alioke; tho 
 Btonu and rattle of stickii, and the honrling unmeaning wail att'ediir 
 keeping pace with her-; when, suddenly, at a motion of her hand, thero 
 waa an iiiHtnntnncMiuH BiK-nce. Tht-y^ wntcbed her narrowly, and her every 
 motion wait observeil. Upon a signal tlicy liogun ngoin, and stopped aa 
 „iU<ldonly, At length aho got u|^u hor hunJken, and in tliat not very gmee- 
 ftil poaitioii, jum|)ed about between the fii-^s. Presently, as hor inspiration 
 Increased, slie ruisjjd . heraelf and ultimately got hemelf ensct. Having, 
 then, by a soriea iif/very ungraceful motions, completed a joumoy round 
 tho firea, she come to a stand at the end of tho rectangle next whioh 
 tho old man and woman were Bitting. Tho music stopped, and there waa 
 a perfect atillncss, while the old man rose slowly and opened a boi, ai^d, 
 taking out a puir of sciaaors, pro<leeded solemnly to the heroine, and cut 
 off a lock of her hair, which ho immediately placed in the fire near one end 
 of tho rectangle where she wos Btqnding. This being done, such a clatter 
 and rattle and yell were raisetl as very nearly deafened me. A signal 
 atopped it in a moment. Then the old woman gravely rose, and opening a 
 box, took out two handfuls of white down, and, proceeding to the centre 
 fire, placed one handful in it ; and then, passing on to tho other fire, pre- 
 tended to deposit tho other, but did not, so far oa I could see. This 
 completed, tho noise began again with redoubled energy. My time being 
 now exhausted, I was obliged to leave this strange but iutereating aoene. 
 
 It was refreshing to breathe tho sea air again, and gazo upon tho light 
 of day, aflor emerging from so unearthly a placo. Pursuing my way, 
 I mot a man corrying two large boilers. I cross-examined him about tho 
 din inside, and asoertained that they alway$ did so— a favourite method of 
 escaping from an unwelcome question. I then inquired about tho boilers ; 
 when he, told me that tho female chief, who was playing her port within 
 among the women, would presently give an abundant feast of wild-fowl to 
 all the men, and that he was bringing down the bbilers to cook the aame. I 
 He further stated, that all the men were assembled in hia house, awaiting/ 
 the gift, and that, if I wished, he would gladly show me where tiiey were./ 
 I accompanied him joyfully. I found a very large house, carefully swept J 
 #ith several good firea burning brightly upon tho earthen floor, and about 
 fift^ or sixty men osaembled, iu patient expectation of the birds. I inJ 
 quired into tlie nature of the musical entertainment going on. They toU 
 me tfa^t was their " Tamiuocs," or sacred fcaat; that they alwaya ph»ye 
 and danced ao during tho latter half of the last month in the year; thL 
 they did so for two reasons — first, to make their hearts good fur die oomjijg

 Dec. 22.- — Our EzaminaUon came off to-day. Theiio were 167 Indian 
 Mholars in the room when the Governor arrived. We had the Governor, 
 the Bishop, the Colonial Secretory, Chief Justice of British Columbia, 
 And many other influential laymen, vrith all the Clergy hero who could 
 attend, and Mr. Knipe, who arrived yesterday, among me numh^ We 
 began by singing. Then Mr. MallaiSrdaine, the Catechist, examined than 
 in reading the diagrams, and shoWikl that they knew the English names 
 for the various objects, and eould spell and pmounce them, This, for 
 three month's work, was considered very excellent by tlie Governor and all 
 the visitors. After this the meet advanced class, who hAve been somewhat 
 longer at school, read in their books, and satisfied the suspicions of the 
 Chief Justice of British Columbia by reading baekwardt, thus showing 
 they were not crammed like parrots, but that they thoi^ghly understooa 
 what they had learned. This being over, the copies weiip^n«dtM»d, wlldi

 mittee, January 29, from British Columbia, announcing the arrival of the 
 Hev. L. S. and Mrs. Tugwell, on August 21, 1860, at Fort Simpson, to 
 ihe great joy of Mr. Puncaii, the Society's Missionary Qatechist, who has 
 been labouring there for upwards of four years filone. Mr. Tugwell speaks 
 with deep interestof Mr. Duncan's most encouraging work among the Chims- 
 yah Indians. " I have never seen," he writes, " an English congregation 
 more ohlerly and attentive ; with only a few exceptions, both children and 
 adults come clean and tidy. The children sing several hymns very 
 sweetly, among them a morning and evening hymn composed h^ Mr. 
 Duncan." ' 
 
 Mr. Duncati's letter, October 25, contains an earnest appeal for another 
 clergyman to labour among the Niahkal Indians, while he also ^presents 
 the vast field for usefulness in the neighbourhood of ^Foit Simpson, where 
 four distinct Indian languages are spoken by at least 40,000 natives. 
 "Again," he condqdes, "I would earnestly crave fBi* another Jielper. I 
 can assure you it is Now, or Nkvbb, iif the Indian races of this coast are 
 to be benefited by Christian Missions." ■ '->■

 The Ladies are giving their hearts tp the work and are much mterested 
 in their pupils. From nine to twelve, and from one to'^three they ace 
 engaged in teaching in the Ladieti' College.^ They are in great want of 
 drawing paper, and simple music for beginners ; also simple drawings, 
 such as Harding's copies, or some of the studies used in the Schools of 
 Design : these cannot be procured' in the colony.

 THE MISUH-^ PENRICE/-THE LAD1|!8' COLLEGE. 65 . 
 
 After the Bchool is over» Miss Anna Penrice goes three times a week 
 witli Mr. Garrett, to the Indiap School, for two hours, to teach the women 
 nn(| children to Fork. The children are much pleased when her kind liite-% 
 appears at the door. They stroke her hand, and say it is <' beautiful and ^ 
 clean." Thrdugh her interpreter (Mr. Oarrett) she '; assures them that 
 theirs may become as beautiful and clean, if they.ii^iljl' but wash them. She 
 hopes soon to be »ble to speak to them herself. .She writes, — ** As to the 
 poor Indians, I can truly say at present, notliing but their want of deanli- 
 nesa offends my feelings, and their bright kind looks when I go in draw my 
 heart to them. Mr. Garrett is ver^ kind, judicious, aib^ persevering with 
 them, and has so much quickness in acquiring lang^agesV/hathe is able 
 readily to speak to them in their strange jargon. TneyCa^ sadly dis- 
 inclined to hard work, but take readily to using their he^dlcs and making 
 themselves dresses. The difficulty is to find them sufficient materials for 
 their work', as prints and calico are so dear here." 
 
 The ladies are also employed in teaching in the Sundoy-sohcol belong- 
 ing to Christ Church, and are ready also to carry out any plans of useful^ 
 ness which the Bishop suggests, and wh reh are fe asible in toe present state 
 of the colony. , 7~; - ,

 CONSECRATION OF THE CHURCH OP THE HOI 
 TRINITY, NEW WESTMINSTER. 
 " (From th^ New Wetlminiter Time$ of Deo«mb«r 8th, WflO.) 
 
 On Sunday last (Advent Sunday) the interesting ^ceremony of the con > 
 secration of our church took place. The edifice, which commands it lovely 
 view of the river,. moj^iM, and surroundis^ scenery, is huilt in the early 
 style of Gothic archijj^nii, and. thanks to the skill and watchful care of 
 our enterprising fellow-citizens,%le88r8. Manson and White, to whom the 
 building was entrusted, it presents thd fullest richness of appearance as 
 well M the closest consistency with the rules| of ecclesiastical architecture. 
 Externally, the porch, helfry, east and west windows, and general appear- 
 ance, at once convince the beholder tljat Jie is viewing a building erected, 
 for no ordinary or sieeular purposes ; while the interior immediately con- 
 firms diat impression, bidding you with silent and solemn power to leave 
 * the world without, an* to prepare for the wimhip of Him wb9m the 
 Heaven of heavens cannot oontun, and who yet humbleth Himself to dwell 
 in the midst of His people. The interior consists of ,a nave, two aisles, 
 chancel, vestry, and recess for organ. The uprights and rafters are of fir^ 
 and ^e wtjls of the best'cedac. The roof is supported upon two rows of 
 massive pillars, with Gothic archesbetween, a series of arches also spanning 
 the nave and grr'mg a rich aqd; (Sodlesiastical appearapce to the whole. 
 The internal fittings are of the liandiibmest description. The seats,^ which 
 have been presented by various individuals whose hearts wurmed towturds 
 the completion of the good work, are of fir, trimmed wiih the fiuneus 
 California red wood. The lectero or bible-desk (a g^) is of fir and the 
 Columbian oottooii wood ; the poppy vheads, of red wood, are admirably 
 oftrved. The pulpit, also a gift, is of mapl(^jed wood, and cotton wood, 
 skilfiilly contrasted, and presents an exceedingly rich and elegant appear- 
 ance. The communion-rails, designed bv>ne of the Boyal Engmeers, 
 are beautifully executed. The whole building reflects the highest credit 
 both upon the taste of the committee, who approved of the plans (presented 
 by Captain A. R. Lempriere, R.E.), and uj^the builders, Messrs. Manson 
 and ViTiite, who have performed their part in a truly workmanlike and 
 skilful manner. 
 
 A( Pleven o'clock, the Bishop, preceded by the clergy, and followed by 
 the registrar, proceeded from the vestry to the porch door, where they wwp© 
 met by a body of the inhabitants. The petition for conseci^ttion having 
 been read and asseiUed to by the Bishop, his lordship, followed by the deigy, 
 proceeded up the middle aisle repeating the twenty-fourth Bsalm.' The 
 deed of consecration was then read by the Bishim's condmissary, the Rev. 
 E. Cridge, Rector of Christ Church, Victoria,' and, having been eugned by 
 the Bishop, was handed to the registrar. The}; Consecration Service was 
 read by the Bishop, and the Momii^; Service \^ the JSev. J. Sheepshanks, 
 M.A., Reeton The psalms and the hymng^ « Veni Creator," andt^the 
 hundredth Psalm, were heartily sung, the v^KoIe congregation joininf in ; 
 and Richardson's beautiful anthem, «0y how aminble," was rendered 
 with a taste tmd precision wmihy cf many a cathedral. Gh«at pnuse is 
 wetl' deserved by the volimtary choir, chiefly of the BojiJ Engineers,

 assist^ by ladies of the congregation, for the care which thej bestowed upon 
 their part, by which they made the thanksnving po^^ion of the aervu^a 
 truly joyful and heart-stircing. The First Lesson was read hj the Eev. 
 A. D. Pringle, M. A., of Fort Hope, and the Second by the Key. A. C. 
 Garrett. The Communion Office was read, and the Holy Commanion 
 administered, by the Bishop. The Epistle was read by the Bey. E. Cridge, 
 and the Gospel by the Kev. R. J. Dundas. 
 
 The consecration sermon was preached by the Hev. A. C. Garrett, 3;A., 
 Frindpal of the Indian Mission, Victoria, from ^. John iii. 16. Having 
 shown that neither reason, j^hilosophy, nor speculation, could ascertain the 
 origin and nature of Christianity, which pivine Revelation and experience 
 have unfolded, he proceed^, in clear and forcible terms, to w^t Qut the 
 cause, the price, and the object of human redemption, dwelhng in watm 
 langui^e upon the vastness of Divine love as exhibited in the salvatiSb of 
 man ; and concluded by urgjpg a twofold duty upon his audience.— First, 
 to maintain in a state of b^uty and efficienqr the building so hap{Hly 
 completed and so solemnly oonse(irated ; secondly^' to attend with constant 
 regularity the means of Grace thus bro^g^ within their reach. 
 
 A collection amounting to 125 dollws Wto madeQafter the, sermon in 
 ud at defraying the debt still upon the chui-db Jtte debt, we are happy 
 to say, b only 228^.— 4 fact which reflects the v^eat^ credit upon the 
 Energy and liberality of oar citizens. * 
 
 in the afternoon, the Litany was read and an infant baptized. The 
 sermon was preached by the Mev. A. D. Pringle, Ar.^\>f Fort Hope. 
 The preacher, as the fouiidittion of his excellent discoo^, selected Fsalm 
 
 cxiii.i. ,,■■ .. ,.■■*■■::■■ - ■ ■.:^'-,'.:^: -^.^ 
 
 In the ev«ning another laige congregation was ^ussemblM for Divine 
 worship. Evenuig prayer was read by the Rev. R. Dundaa The psalms, 
 canticles, hymns'(« Nearer, my God, to Thee/' and "Glory lie to God on 
 high"), and Kent's anth^^ ''.Sing, O heavens," were adilfirably sung. 
 The sermon was' preached by the rector,, from the text '2 .Chron. vL 40. 
 The collection amounted to 27 dollars. d fl 
 
 The crowded attendance at the services spoke well for the interest taken 
 in the success. of this the first undertaking of the kind in J^tish Columbia; 
 and if, judging from the present instance^ we mif^t venture to predict ilr 
 the future, we should' say 'that, as we aimestly hppe, so w«confidendy 
 expect, ere long many other towns in this 'vast colony will follow the 
 example set by this capital, and speedily erect buili^gs of a characifr , 
 jumilar to that whidi we so happily possess, for the worship cf Ahnigtity 
 God and the advancement of the best interests of man.^ 
 
 The dedication services were, continued on Wednesday and Friday' 
 evenbgs, when sermons were preached 6y Rev. R. Dundas, and Rev. A. 
 C. Garrett, and will be brought to a close to-niorrow (ISpndiBy), when the 
 morning sermon will be preached by the Bishop, and tiie evening sepion 
 by the Rev. A. C. Garrett, on each of which occasipns the services will be 
 choNi}.

 ORGANIZATION MEETING' OF THE CLERGY AND LAY 
 MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, 
 
 IN THB OIOCKSK OV' COLVHBIA.. 
 
 (FVom the Bnti$h Colmiit, YuiooaTer's Wand, of January 19th, 18(11.) •*' 
 
 In response to a circular addressed to the pewholdere of Christ Church 
 and St. John's, a large and higblj influential meeting was held in the Col- 
 legiate School, on Tuesday evening last^ the l^th inst. 
 
 The object of the meeting, as. expressed in the circular letter, was to 
 take counsel concerning the affairs o( the Church in this colony, and to 
 hear from the Bishop a statemantof proposals for parochial and diooesbn 
 organization. ' 
 
 On the motion of A. F. PembertOn, E^q., J[.P., seconded by H. Nichol^ 
 Esq., Alex. A. Dallaii, Esq., waa called, to (he chair. " 
 
 The Churman, in a few brief but pertment remarks, tot forth the ob^ts 
 of die meeting, expressing on his own pait a strong feeling of duty as hb 
 re«soii for filling the post of chaira||m ; and then, with a graceful allusion 
 to Miss Burdett Coutts, through wEwe munificence so much had been done 
 for the Church in this colony, he mvited the Bishop to ky before, the meet- 
 ing a more definite statement of the object|s and proposed aotiqin of the 
 meeting than he (the Chainnan) could hope to do. / 
 
 ThelRight Reverend ^ I^rd Bishop *of British Columbia having 
 thankedlMr. Dallas for his readiness in accepting the chair, and having 
 expressed his conviction thi^ the influence and^weight Of character of such 
 a man mWt encourage all ||t uniie and co-'operate in thq work about to be 
 proposed to them, proceeded to open up more fully the purpose for which 
 the meeting had been called. 
 
 He desiKd to. address them on the following subjects : Ist — Their present 
 circumstances; 2d — Means of support ; 3d — Organization, pai-ocbial and* 
 , diocesan ; 4th — A Church Sobjety. 
 
 I. The position^f th^ Church of England diflbred fi-om her position at 
 home. The difference was not in doctrine or authority — these were ever 
 the same— ^but in circumstances. Here the Churoh was unconnected with 
 the State. There were no endowments ftom the piety of former days, nor 
 a settled population. AH must be commenced : churches and schools have to 
 be Built ; [Muishes to be defined ; clergy to bo brou^t out and mainteined ; 
 trust for prdperty to be created ; and discipline and onler to be promoted. He 
 would next state wluxt had been done. Clergy had increased from*bne to 
 fifteen ; three churches had been built ; i-cgular and missionary services 
 have been carried on in various towns and rural and riiining districts in the 
 two colonic^ Two collegiate schools have been founded in Victoria, and 
 also, at the same place,\an Indian Mission and school, in addition to that at 
 Fort Siropsom* , " 
 
 II. Meqns of Support. — He^had been enabled to raise in England the 
 sum of alujtut 11,0002. for the commencement of the Mission. This was 
 already; dispotjed of in outfits and passages of clergy, in grfints, an^^ in land 
 
 ^invei»l^cHii|B, ! He had also obtuned promises of an annual subscription for 
 
 fivey^i-8. ^he annual fund, including what came fiom preseal; invest-

 Victoria, and T^nitr Ghuroh»^ WeBtitiinBter, now lo be supifbrtcd by their J 
 congregations; while there sfill reraaihs to be supplied means^ of outfit and 
 ^passage for more clergy, and for Building churches^and for other im- 
 . pprtant objects of missionary labour. The clergy not supported out of the - 
 above-named fund have^ Uieir incomes temporarily secured from throe 
 .Church of llngUEnd sooieites^ to the extent of'l,700;. a-year ; the total 
 charge fpr incomes of clergy and teachers in the colony, amounting to^bout. 
 4,000/, a-year ; towards which the annual permit oontnbutcd in the colony 
 by pew rents, church collections, school fees, and other sources, appears to 
 be about 1,200/. a-year. Sotoe misundcr8tandii)g appears to exist with 
 respect to Miss Coutts' endowment, which, by the termsLof the gift, is con- 
 fined to two objects, viz. a prdVision of 600/. a-year as the Bishop's 
 income, and of 400/. a^jear towards the archdeaoonriea not v<* filled up. 
 ' III. Orgcmization.—Thia is of two'kinds, parochial and diocesan. The 
 parochial in -England conaSsts of rectdr," churchwardens, and vestry. In 
 some cases there is also a select vestry chosen by the general vestry. In 
 the colonies and in the United States the same organization is followed, ' 
 excepting that for a select vestry a church comnSittce is substituted. ' He 
 proposed that the oonstitutios of a parish should be rector, churchwardep, 
 church committee/an|>estry, this last consisting oft^pewholders, and the 
 committee elected annually bjr t^dm. /The^urch committee will strengthen 
 the administration of chui-chwardens ^aifii ministers, upite the energ^s of 
 more earnest members of the congregation, and create a mote general 
 interes^. Dioces^ organization in Its complete form consists of an 
 assembly of the bishops, clergy, and lay delegates, meeting annually for ' 
 deliberation and decision upon mairir subjects of importance to the welfare 
 'of tjie Church and the success of fci'e Gospel. Ift nearly all the British > 
 colonies this organization is complete under various ^IH^, as conrentioq, 
 ' synod, assembly, or council. This, howevef', cannot be Completed at once, 
 »- as congregations are not sufficiently formed; and, moreover, there are legal 
 points of difficulty requiriog consideration. He then entered into thdbnature 
 'of these difficulties. ^ . _ > i^* 
 
 ly. Church Society. — ^Pending the^ormationW'i^is more perfect ior- - 
 ganization, he proposed there should be, as in Canada, Australia, If ova 
 Scotia, and other colonies, a Chui«h Bociety,'to b^ incorp(#ated for holding 
 land, and to.be supported by subscriptions and chui-ch colle|^s gathered 
 from all parts of the diocese for efiTpwM of ministers, build^^f churches, 
 parsonages, and schools, widowis' and orphans of clergy, aqd other '^ibjects, 
 administered ' by a committed diosen by,;Bubaeribers. fie instant^ the. 
 Toronto Church Society, witfi an income pf 9,000/., and Uiat of Newcaptie, • 
 Australia, inpeasinj|r in five yjpara fropa 631/. to 5,323/. * j 
 
 The Bishop, having made a statement wbich occupiecl about an houi; in^ 
 delivery, of which^jOie above is but a sketoh, concluded by expressing F " ' 
 earnest hope that'iheir ddiberati(^ would be fiutheied by.llie Div 
 ble8ding,%nd invited discusaioa (m die vaiious pn^OsiSs set forth. 
 
 The first resolution, pitoposed'by H. PeUew Crease^ Esq. M.P.P.rr^" That 
 in the opinion of this meeting, it is neoeaaary that an effibicnt organization 
 should be adopted ibr the conduct of the a&irs of the^X'hiircU <tf. England

 nraku mo and all our party as ooinfortable aa possil 
 
 at <^iO(^ introduced tp tlie captain as bead of lUe missionary party. Captain 
 Hcvitt at ouce promised tb furtber my wishes in ^1 tbingSi so far as he could 
 do so without inlcrferiug wllb the duties of tbd shi|). 
 • Monduy and Tuesday passed *itbout any of us feeling very much settled 
 into our places; but this morning (Wednesday) I spole to the captain about 
 our dMire to, havir worship on board, and be at once conducted me to a cabin 
 in the fore part of the ship, wher» we would be least disturbed, and, having 
 seen the place, I settled with «ach of our party that we should oommenoe to- 
 day, at 11 o'clock. The order of serf ice wks as follows :.— , 
 
 Blown commenced by reading the Sentences in the Morning f rayer, just 
 bcfyre the Lord's I'rayor, aftd read on to the end of tb« third oolleot, 
 Glover tlieb read the Se/ond Lesson for the day. *i.. 
 
 ^ I then rcnd^ the Litany/ . • .«- ^ 
 
 On Fridny we propose fo read the Morning Service without the Litany. 
 
 It is impossible to make arrangements for daily prayers (I mean, of course, 
 
 as a congregation) ; our own cabins are too small. Four people could not get 
 
 into them at a time ; both public eabins ttre so entirely ocfcupied by the 4>assen- 
 
 gem, Spanish, Portuguese, Trenob, Amerioaos, &c. &c. that the difficulties are 
 
 V alniosl insurmountable. 
 
 We mustered only nine this morning at prayers; but just as I commenced 
 ih^Litany thrpe negro soldiers (sergeants wiio have been over from the West 
 Indies to learn the rifle practice at Uvthe) came in and kdieeled down amongst 
 . us ; and you cannot think nor could l* describe my feelings as I heard their 
 voices rise with ours, " Good Lordrdelirer as," and ^' We beseech Tliee to heat^ 
 u^ good Lord." U was delightful to see their black ffuses looki% so earnest. 
 On Sunday it is arranged that \re shall have two services, and then I will 
 give notice of our Wednesday and Friday morning praycr^ and I defUbtybt but 
 that this day week our little oongr<>gation will have grown. A Spanwrd and a 
 Portuguese, writing at a neighbouring fable, laid aside their work the moment 
 « we commenced our service, and though they did not join in It, they did not 
 despise it, but rather paid it reverenced « 
 
 We are getting on glorioi}sly, the good ship making neariy twelve knots an 
 hour in a sea smoother than you could imagine. The Miasea Penrice seem t&'- 
 suffer more, than any one else on board, utd even they are not really sicl^; and'- 
 then they are so seir-forgelful and retiring that I have to insist on their taking 
 care of themselves, otherwise thev must starve; biit whatever I say fAey try tfi 
 do,tA they are under my oroeb« I I do believe if 1 9rden4 them to the mast- 
 head, they would try to get then). « 
 
 Brown and Glover both are veiy nice Cpllows. I have no doubt but that we 
 shall get on capitally, all doing their best for the common welfare «nd comfort. 
 There are"oiily one or two En^ish gentldmen on \k»^ beside ounelvea: the 
 , rest are nearly all foreigners. There is one English lady whose acquaintance I 
 have not yet made ; Mrs. Frinsle has, however, talcen her under her charge 
 (she is a young lady going out, I tbink, to one of the West IndiaJblands* to be 
 married), and Drought her to oiiV little service to-day. 
 
 July 9. — Yesterday was our first Sunday on board. Our morning serViod ' 
 was well attended by all the crew except those actually engaged in duty. Snd by 
 nearly -all the passengers; then we haa'thedHy before (tlumks to 6row:ii's fore- 
 tboHght,^ organized a choir to chant the "Venite," "Jubilate," '* Magnificat," 
 and ^' Nunc Dimittis ;" the choir consisted of the West India soldiers men* ^ 
 tioned in the former part of this lettei^/and thourii not first-rate singers, yet 
 on the whoHiJt was not bad. The chief officer, loo, of the sliip very kindly ' 
 lent us an li^monium, and we found a German gentleman willing and able to 
 preside" at it ; so t]jat altogether our service was very imposins:. Brown read :'

 Brown preached; but our congregation was nothing like- what it had been in 
 the morning. 
 
 This rooming we had service at eleven, and, as le gave.ttotice of this yester- 
 day, the fore-cabin, appointed for that use by the captain, was crowded. If^ 
 Sive np considerable pleasure to notice the attendance of aMarge number of

 We all get on uncommonly weiriogethfr, each one seeming lo do his or her

 The heat perceptibly increases day by 4ay, and now no place if codl: one '
