Whereas some members of the Church, who are not unmindful of the great Spiritual wants of their own neighbourhood, still feel constrained, in pious gratitude for the blessings they enjoy, to allot something, however small, from the means with which a Gracious Providence has blessed them, towards the spread of the Glorious Gospel among the nations which still sit in darkness ; the Society will gladly receive and forward to the Societv for the Propagation of the Gospel, the Choreb-Missionary Society, or the London Society for the Pro- moting Christianity among the Jews, whatever sums may be given for the con- versio'ii and instruction of the Heathen or the Jews. '^ X 12 1 Vnym to be used at all Meetings of the Society, AND OF ITS SEVERAL ASSOCIATIONS. Prevent us, Lord, in all our doings with Thy most gra- cious favour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live ; Have mercy upon .all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them . all ignorance^ hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word ; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be one fold under one Shepherd. Prosper, O Lord, the labors of ' those Societies of the Church in the land of our Fathers, which Thou hast deigned to use in the promotion of this object, and which have nourbhed the Church in the Colonies : and bless in like manner with Thy Holy Spirit and Providential succour the Society ia whose cause we are now met, and the under- takings which we have now in hand. " Prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us ; prosper Thou our handy work," for the sake, and through the merits of the same Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen, Our Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation : But deliver us from evil : For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. For ever and ever. Amen, <'\ EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT. MMAAM^^kM^^k'^^WWWM^'^'^^ The Central Board, while desiring to express their thankfulness to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, for the increased means of usefulness which, by His blessing, have been comnnitted to them, during the past year, as well as for the amount of good which they trust they have been the humble instruments of effect- ing, would at the same time urge upon the members of the Church, generally, the necessity of more active exertion in the Society's cause. For the increase over the amount reported last year is extremely small, and last year a large falling off was reported. This increase, too, will be found to be the result of efforts made only in some few localities, while in many others a decrease it again exhibited.

This fund has been formed principally by the appropriation, according to the 13th Article of the By-Laws, of Life Subscrip. tions to the purpose. iDibotos' anb (Drpijana* Sunt. /^ p An additional sum of £75 has been invested this year, on account of this fund in Government Debentures, — and there is besides a sum of £100 bearing interest, in the Quebec Provident and Savings Bank, making the whole amount of the fund £1475, in addition to a balance, not yet invested, of about £80. The Nicolet Endowment fund, which stands in the name of the President of the Society, in accordance with the provision to that effect in the 13th Article, has received an increase since, of upwards of £90, (£25 of which were a legacy from the late Colonel Chandler,) and amounts now, in all, to £400 19 8. QCraoelling HUXxmomrm, It is with great thankfulness that the Central Board report that there are now two travelling Missionaries in the employment of the Society, one in the District of Montreal, and one in that of Quebec. The Rev. Thomas S. Chapman, whose appointment was mentioned in the Beport of last year, returned, at the close of the season of duty at the Quarantine Station, to the destitute settle* ments on the borders of the districts of Montreal and St. Francis, where he had laboured with acceptance during the preceding win- ter, including, in his circuit, the adjoining missions of SheflTord and Brome, both at that time vacant. In February last, find- ing his strength unequal to the severe exertions required of a travelling missionary, he applied to the Lord Bishop to be permitted to resign that office, and was appointed to \t ■\& 15 the newly created Mission of Dudawell, the formation of which may be looked upon mainly as- the esult of the labors of diflferent Clergymen who have been Missionaries of the Society. Under these circumstances it may not be improper to state, as it cannot be otherwise than gratifying to the Society and its friends to learn, that there is every prospect (under the Divine blessing) of a plentiful harvest in the new field thus taken up by the Church. The Rev. John Carry, late student of Bishop's College, Len. noxville, was appointed to succeed Mr. Chapman, and labored in the same tract of country, not however including Shefibrd and Brome, (the vacancies in those missions having happily been filled up,) until the opening of the navigation, when he proceeded to Grosse Isle. — He has received instructions to pay occasional visits to such places, within reach of that station, as Protestants are to be found in. These are but few, and the number of church people in each extremely small ; but as it is from this very circumstance that they are unable to procure for themselves a supply of the means of grace, they are manifestly fitting objects of the care of the Society'tt Missionary. Through the mercy of God, the Quarantine Station has presented no unusual calls this sea- son, — ^the number of sick and of emigrants detained on the Island having been, so far, smaller than for many previous years. The Rev. Richard Langford Stephenson, of Trinity College, I/'iblin, who was sent out to the Diocese, as stated in the last Report, by the Revd. William J. D. Waddilove, having been or- dained with Mr. Carry, in February last, was instructed to pro- ceed to the destitute settlements upon the River Ottawa, including the Gore of Chatham, a mission of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, which has unfortunately been vacant for some time past. The other townships under his care are those which were mentioned in last year's Report as placed, by a temporary ar* rangement with the Society, originating with the Bishop, in charge of the Revd. Charles Forest. Mr. Stephenson has remained in this tract of country until the present time, and is now proceeding, as directed by the Bishop, to pay a visit to some of the settle- ments, to which Mr. Carry had principally given his attention /'- — ^eii" 1-u'ijiU.i: 16 during the winter. In the meantime a Candidate for Holy Orders, sent out by the Society for the Propagation or the Gospel, has been licensed to act for the present as Lay-Reader at the Gore, so that Mr. Stephenson will be enabled, upon his return to the Ottawa, to devote more time to the destitute settlements higher up the river. It is proper to mention here, that a portion (J625 Stg.) of Mr. Stephenson's salary is, for the present, provided for by the liberality of the Bev. William J. D Waddilove. Extracts from the journals of the three gentlemen named will be given with the Report when published, and for this reason It is deemed unnecessary to refer to them here at more length. A Committee was appointed at the meeting of the Board in May last, to reconsider the practicability of a plan for the insur- ance of the lives of the Clergy. — It is hoped that they may be able to report favorably upon this important subject, and that measures may be adopted which shall prove effectual, as well as satisfactory to the Clergy. (Bttcation. ^ At the same meeting, a Committee was appointed to consider the best means of establishing a respectable Female School under the auspices of the Church, intended, primarily, for the benefit of the daughters of the Cleif y : but, as the Committee have not yet had an opportunity of reporting, the details of the proposed scheme cannot at present be given. It is one well worthy the serious attention of all Churchmen. The Central Board have to report that the arrangements, referred to in the last Annual Report, as likely to be effected with the School Society for the Colonies, have fallen through, from the want of funds on the part of that body, to meet the terms proposed. ^ssiitanct to Canbil^atea for tl)e IHimotirs. The third of the objects for which the Society is incorporated is ** assistance, where it may be necessary, to those who may be 17 K t I t under preparation for the miniBtry of the Gospel." The Board have never, as stated in the Report of last year, been called upon, hitherto, to make any provision for this object : but their atten- tion having been directed to the desirableness of securing to newly ordained Clergymen the means of furnishing themselves with outfits, a Committee was •appointed in May last, to report upon the practicability of creating a fund, or otherwise providing for this object. The number, however, of Candidates for Holy Orders being happily on the increase, and the vast majority of them being, as must be expected in a new country, in such circumstances as to require assistance, there is room for the exercise of Christian liberality, notwithstanding the allowance, still generously continued, of J6300 Stg. per annum, from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. It is gratifying to observe that the Treasurer at Quebec has received through the Treasurer of the St. Francis District Association, two donations of £7 lOs. each from the same indivi- dual, towards this important object. The Depository, which is still under the efficient management of Mrs. Walton, has nevertheless not been productive of good so extensively as could be wished. The Book and Tract Committee, however, have received instructions to report upon a plan for extending this branch of the Society's operations, and making it more generally useful. Books to the value of £50 Stg. have been purchased from the Depository of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge in London, and it is confidently hoped that arrangements will be speedily effected which will give general satisfaction. The amount expended in Grants for Church building and the promotion of the other objects of the Society, has considerably exceeded that of any other year. 18 I Towards repairs in the Church at Abbottsford . . . . £10 Towards liquidation of the debt upon the Church at Sherbrooke, (a sum equal to that contributed in the Mission in Annual Subscriptions) 13 10 Towards painting the Church and Parsonage at Leeds 15 To the daughters of the late Rev.

AMOUNTS RAISED. (HHucbec. In the Pariah of Quebec, there has been a considerable increase in the number of subscribers, and in the amount raised over those reported last year. This is in a great degree to be attributed to the exertions of a few zealous friends of the Society, who have undertaken to make collections, weekly, monthly and quarterly ; — a method of carrying on the work which has the effect not only of adding to the amount contributed, but also of exciting and keeping up an interest in the cause. The labors of voluntary collecton having been assumed only within the last fev> months, their returns are not complete for the year, or a larger amount would have been exhibited.

CotDcr (S)ttatDa IDistnct ^ssoctation. The Mission of the Gore in this District being still vacant, the amount reported has been contributed in the other three Missions in the District. It consists of annual subscriptions and proceeds of both sermons in all the Missions, making a total of JE38 3 5, being less than the amount raised last year. At Vaudreuil, how- ever, the sum contributed, under each head, exhibits an increase, although the people have been called upon to make further exer- tions for the completion of their Church, which was fitted up in order to its consecration, in September last, in a manner that re. fleets the highest credit on their zeal for the honor of God's House. They have since been engaged in taking measures for procuring a parsonage, towards which object the sum of j8100 has already been raised within the Mission, and a private indivi. dual has given land for a glebe. The sum of j86 12 1^. has been remitted to the Treasurer at Montreal, from St. Andrew's only. illa9Conci)e lUtstrut ^soociation. The Mission of New Glasgow, in this District, has been vacant during part of the year, but has recently been filled up. The Mission of St. Martin has been detached from the Beauharnois 21 n Diitriot AMOoiiUon, within the limits of whioh it wti formerly compriMcl, and annexed to thia Aisoeiation. Ttie annual meeting of the Aaaooiation wai held at Mascouohe in February, all the Clersjr of the District being present, and the Report shews a total amount raised within the year for the Society of £44 15 64. There are annual subscribers in the Missions of Rawdon and St. Martin. Towards two new Churches, at St. Therese and Raw. don ; a Parsonage at St. Martin ; and other obj jcis contemplated by the Society, the sum of £200 hss been reported as raised within the District. — £18 10 7 have been remitted to the Treasurer of the Society. !3eattt)arnota {District Association. The whole amount reported as raised within this District is £27 13 2^. This falling off is to be accounted for partly by the separation of the Mission of St. Martin from this Association, and partly by there being no annual subscriptions at Ormstown, the Missionary of that place not having judged it expedient to call upon his people on behalf of the Society, as they are engaged in active preparations for building a new stone church, for which he reports that they have already paid in the sum of JS60. The Church at Cdteau du Lac, with the assistance of a small grant from the Central Board, has so far advanced as to be nearly ready for consecration. The amount remitted is £7 8 9. lli(l)eliett ^District Association. Although the members of the Church within this District are engaged in the prosecution of different works, in furtherance of which they are reported to have raised the large sum of £1170, there has been no falling off in the amounts contributed to the Society. In two Missions, on the contrary, there has been a marked increase, the annual subscriptions at Chambly having risen from £23 14 2 to £41 3 lli,and at Sabrevois from £5 3 2& to £16 16 3. At the former place the Missionary, (the Rev \ 'n '^iMMilMIMNii 8i2 1 J. p. White,) iook occasion, on the day appointed for public thanksgiving for the removal of the Cholera, to suggest to his Congregation the propriety of shewing their thankfulness, by consecrating a giA to the Almighty in aid cf some benevolent de- sign, and added that no fitter channel could be found for their bounty than the Church Society. The result was the increase mentioned above, Mr. White having followed up his suggestion by calling himself << upon every family who were in circumstances to give." It would be very gratifying to be enabled to report simi. lar success, as the result of similar exertions^ in every Missiim. In a letter to the Secretary of the Society, Mr. White writes thus : <* The establishment of the Church Society in the Diocese, I feel to be a very great blessing, and designed ultimately to effect much good : by it the wants of the Church are brought more than heretofore under the notice of the people, and they are consequent, ly stirred up to good works on her behalf. And we have this thought to encourage us in our endeavours to promote the Society's objects— It is the Lord's work, ?vnd He will crown it with His blessing." These details from the Report of a single Parish have been given, in the hope that the example which it has set to the Diocese may have its due effect, in stimulating other parishes and Missions to greater exertion in the Society's cause. The most pleasing fea- ture of the Report is the cause to which the increase is attributa- ble, thankfulness, namely, for mercies received, which the people of Chambly were not satisfied with expressing only with their lips. If a due sense of the unnumbered and undeserved blessings daily poured upon us, ivere more widely entertained, it would not be as a solitary instance, that such an example as this would be recorded. A meeting of the Parochial Association was held at Chambly in September last, at which the Lord Bishop of Montreal presided, and the Secretary of the Society attended. The presence of the .*» "1 ^•> 2S Rev. Ernest Hawkins, who was then in the Diocese, waa also expected ; and, had he t)een present, he would have been enabled to make a iratifying Report to the Society upon his return to En^and, of the good spirit which was nnanifested upon the occa- sion. The annual meeting of the Association was held at St. John^s in March, when the Rev. C. Morice was appointed Seeretary, in the room of Rev. G. Bancroft, resigned. Most of the Clergy of the District, and a large number of the laity, were present. The total amount raised for the Society within the District is £170 11 10; proportion of annual subscriptions remitted from St. John's only, £36 18 6. The Mission of Sherrington in this District has been divided, by the erection of Hemmingford into a distinct charge. N.

The annual meeting of this Association was held at Dunham in June, when all the Clergy of the District, with one exception, were present. The attendance of the laity was also satisfactory ; the resolutions passed upon the occasion, are indicative of a desire to carry on the work energetically; and it is earnestly hoped the ensuing year will be permitted to witness a corresponding effort. The resolutions were as follow : Minutes of the 16th Meeting of the District Committee of the Church Society, Missisquoi District, held at Dunham, Wed- nesday 19th June, 1850. Present, — The Revds. James Reid, James Jones, Richard Whitwell, Thomas Johnson, Joseph Scott, William Jones, Andrew T. Whitten, and Robert Lindsay. Resolved 1st. That the amount of contributions received by the Diocesan Church Society, from the Parishes and Missions mm 'k Ti i 24 within the Diocese is the principal evidence, to which the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel have access, of the value, which the people of this country put upon their Chris- tian liberality, in providing for them Ministers of the Gospel, and the ordinances of religion. 2nd. That the income by subscriptions and donations, from the respective parishes and missions of this Diocese, having fallen short of the former yearns amount, by nearly five hundred pounds, is calculated to lower our character in the esteem of the Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and induce them to think that their bounty would be better bestowed elsewhere. 3rd. That the deficiency in the last year's contributions, althoueh in a great measure caused by the depression of agriculture and commerce, is an evident call upon both Clergy and Laity to use their best endeavours, and to pray to God, to put in the hearts of the people to be liberal to the Church, that we may recover our lost ground. 4th. That, in the opinion of this meeting, among the best means of establishing the Church upon its proper foundation, is the religious instruction, and training of youth ; and therefore, i^. is earnestly recommended, that the children of the several parishes should be objects of particular attention, on the part of all true friends of the Church. 5th. That the hearty co-operation of the Laity with the Clergy, in all our undertakings, is necessary to insure our success, and is indispensable to the prosperity of the Church. There has been a considerable diminution in the amount of annual subscriptions, which may partly be accounted for by the absence of any return from Granby. The Board observe that no portion of the amount reported as raised last year in that place, has been forwarded to the Treasurer at Montreal. The amount received from the other Missions, which have con. tributed, is £24 17 U. '^ 25 The wholo amount rep9rteil aa rai^d in the District ia £91 19 9. £200 reported for local purposes. The 7th Annual Meeting of this Association was held at Sher* brooke in January last, preceded by Divine Service and a sermon, pi'eached by the Rev. J. Kemp, in the morning of the same day, at Lennoxvillo. The attendance of members was, as usual in this District, large, including most of the resident Clergy ; and a lively interest was manifested in the proceedings. Henry Miles, Esq., M. A., one of the Professors of Bishop's College, was elected Secretary in the room of the Rev. C. P. Reid, resigned. The reports, as far as received, exhibit a total amount of J6105 6 3, (being an increase over that of last year,) contributed to the funds of the Society. Remitted to Quebec on account of the Annual Subscriptions, £25 12 6. The sum of •£4<28 17 6 is also mentioned, as raided within the District, for local Church purposes. The townships of Dudswell and Ham, the spiritual wants of which have been heretofore supplied, as already mentioned, prin- cipally by the labors of the Travelling Missionaries of the Church Society, have been erected into a Mission of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.

His Lordship also, subsequently, in the course of a Confirmation tour in the District, presided at Meetings in the Missions of Leeds, St. Giles and Ireland. The first and last named of these meetings, the Secretary of the Society had hoped to have been able to attend, but was unavoidably prevented from doing so. The total amount, contributed to the Society, shews an increase 26 over that of last year, though there n no Report or remittance from the Miuionary at Ireland, — being £61 2 10).

In the Mission of Valcartier, a meeting was held in March last, which was presided over by the Lord Bishop, and attended also by the Revds. Official Mackie, J. Torrance, C. Stewart and the Secretary of the Society. No report or remittance, however, has been yet received. Total in Portneuf Mission, including sermons, £29 7 2^. Re- mitted, £6 12 11. (Since the Report was presented, an amount of £5 5. in annual subscriptions, and one of 13s. lOd. the proceeds of a sermon, have been sent in from Valcartier.) There is, as usual, nothing to report from this District, but the proceeds o( sermons, and the returns of these are from only two MisMOiw, amounting to X8 12 4. The Lord Bishop, however, purposes, with the Divine blessing, to endeavour, in the course of the Visitation, upon which he has just enterad, to put matters in train for a more eificient working of 91 the AMtociations of thiM ramote Diitrict, and it it IniaCcd that his effbrla may be Mocessful ; although, from the distances by which the Clergy are at present removed from each other, much com. bined exertion is not to be liooked for. (S>Bctv8 of t^e Socutg. During the past year there have been some changes among the Officers of the Society. There was one, who from its first estab. lishment had filled the office of Honontfy Counsel, and advocated its claims at the last Annual Meeting, who, within a week of that time, was removed from his sphere of usefulness by the pesti- lence, with which it seemed fit to Almighty God to visit the Province. With reference to this mournful event, the Board, be- fore proceeding to business at its Meeting in October last, unan- imously adopted the following Resolution : That, while humbly acquiescing in the dispensations of Him who ordereth all things aright, this meeting desires to record its deep sorrow at the loss sustained by the (;hurch Society of this Diocese, by the death of the late Hon. A. W. Cochran, who filled the offices of a Vice President of the Society, Chairman of its Lay Committee, and Honorary Counsel, witli an ability, Zealand unsparing devotion of his time to the Society^s interests, that have rendered his services of enduring value : that the Right Reverend, the President of this Society, is hereby requested to communicate tb Mrs. Cochran and his afflicted fkmily the foregoing resdiution, with aa assurance of the respectful sympathy of the Meetings un- der their bereavement. The Society has also sustained a severe loss in the dieath' of another Vice Pi:., Colonel Chandler, of Niuolet, — a warm and libe- ral supporter of the Church and her institutions, and a kind and hospitable friend to all her Clei^y. In William D. Lindsay, Esq., of St. John's, the Society has also lost a sincere and steadfast friend : Mr. Lindsay was a member oftbe Central Board, but, at the time of his death, had been so reccntlv 28 appointed that he had never had an opportunity of taking any part in its proceedings. It may be fairly inferred from the interest, which he ever evinced in the prosperity of the Richelieu District Association, and of the Society generally, that his services at the Board would have been willingly tendered. The Honorable Henry Black, Q. C, having been requested to accept .' e office of Honorary Counsel of the Society at Que- bec, the Board feel a high gratification in being enabled to state that the services of this gentleman, so eminent in his profession, were willingly tendered. Mr. Black's advice and assistance have proved of the greatest advantage in furthering the designs of the Lay Committee. The Board viewed it as a subject of thankfulness, that the invaluable services of T. Trigge, Esq., Treasurer at Quebec, were •estored to them in October last : but they have now again to express their extreme regret at the prospect of his resignation of an office which he has filled for several years with an ability and zeal that have entitled him to the gratitude and respect of all the members of the Society. A contemplated change of residence renders this step necessary on Mr. Triggers part. The Secretary of the Society having given notice, in May of last year, of his intention to resign that office at the July meeting of the Board, accordingly did so : but, the Board being unable to make any arrangement for the appointment of a successor, he consented to re-accept the office, which he has since held without salary ; an Assistant Secretary, Mr. F. And^'^tvo. having been appointed at the same time. The Secretary, however, has been compelled to repeat the notice given last year, the extent of his pastoral duties not admitting of his doing the work of the Society satisfactorily to himself; and it is hoped that some arrangement may be made, at the approaching meeting of the Board, for car- rying it on more efficiently. £ari €oinimttce At the last Annual Meeting of the Society, some changes were 29 made in the Constitution of the Lay Committee, of whicli two distinct Branches were established at Quebec and Montreal. A vacancy occurred in the former within a very few dayA after the members had been nominated, by the lamented death of the Hon. A. W. Cochran, which was filled up by the appointment of the Hon. W. Walker, who was subsequently elected Chairman of the Committee. — Colonel Wilgress was elected Chairman of the Montreal Branch, and Mr. Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the Society, appointed Secretary of the Quebec Branch. The Quebec Branch being thus fully organized, has taken up such of the objects assigned to them as, from the circumstances of the Diocese, it was within their power to enter upon. Their attention has been principally engaged by the lands of the Society, which are entrusted to their management and superintendence. Several hundred acres which were held in trust for Bishop's College, Lennoxville, have been made over, with the advice of the Hon. H. Black, to that Institution, a measure which will tend lo simplify all matters connected with their management. The Committee have also taken steps to render the lands held by the Society for its own purposes productive, and have placed them under efficient superintendence. With the view of furthering the first of all objects assigned to them, viz., the formation of endowment funds for placing the Clergy upon a just footing as regards the sulHciency and perma- nency of their incomes, the Quebec Branch have solicited the Society for th« Propagation of the Gospel, to sanction an appropri. alien from the Clergy Reserve Fund, similar to that provided for by the eighth clause of the By-Law relating to the Lay Committee, by which the Church Society engages, in order to the encourage, ment of the formation of Local Endowment funds, to add an amount not exceeding £100 to any fund so formed which shall amount to £100. — It has been suggested to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, to make the amount and the conditions ilio same. I 30 The Quebec Branch have aliio taken steps to procure well drawn plana of Churches for general use in the Diocese, and have invested (in pursuance of the 7th object assigned to them) the amount of unappropriated life.subscriptions in the hands of the Treasurer at Quebec, in shares in the Union Building Society, of that city. The best thanks of the Society are due to those members of the Lay Committee, who have originated and carried out the different measures referred to. The Beard, in conclusion, would once more press upon the members of the Church throughout the Diocese, the urgent necessity of strenuous and sustained efforts, if the work of the Society is to be carried on. It may be proper to point out that at no time for some years past, have the standing expenses been so great as they will be from this date, two travelling Missionaries being employed, and the appointment of a Secre>- tary being about to take place, upon a footing which will entail an ioiflual additioualexpenditure of at least JCIOO. There are also circumstances in the aspect of the times, which cell imperaw tively for earnest exertions for the establishment of the Church among us. The opportunities which are now,, by the goodness of God, afforded to us of doing this may not be ours for any length of time. For, not to dwell at this time upon other ob- vioue considerations, the day eannot be far distant, when local claims will prcsa more urgently than through the fostering care and support of our Mother Church in England, they are now permitted : and it is but the part of ordinary prudence to be prepared for its approach. The most effectual method of doing this, is by securing at once an endowment, however small in the beginning, in every Parish and Mission ; and by supporting the Church Society to the utmost of our power, that the works which it may thus be enabled to carry on, may not be left to be completed, at a period when all the resources of the Colonial Church will be perhaps inadequate to meet only the most pressing demands. 31 In view of the approaching diviaion of the Dioceae, it may not be uteleu to obaerve that the Board have found that the araounta raiaed thia year, in tho City and Diatrict of Montreal, have generally fallen ahort, \thile moat of the Diatrict Aaao- ciationa in the other portioiia ol'the Diocese, aa well as the siater City exhibit aome increaae. — It ia hoped that, in the event of the formation ofaaeparate Church Society for the propoaed new Dioceae, the funda of each may be found at least to equal, be- fore very long, the amount now raised in the whole ; that each may provoke the other to greater love, and fruilfulneaa in good works, and that an eminent degree of uaefulness may be permitted to both, in their common work of striving to advance the kingdom of Christ. 32 EXTRACTS from the Journal of the Rev.

Sunday, 20th. — ^Went in the morning to the Church for the purpose of ventilating it — found the air so heavy and bad on opening the door, (on account of its having been used as a fever Hospital during the fatal summer of 47, and not having been thoroughly purified since,) that I had to hold my breath while running to pull open the side windows. Held Divine service in the Barracks for the Military at 10^ A. M., and at the Church at 3 P. M., for the Emigrants, about 60 of whom were present, passengers of the " Lady Peel," " Jessie" and " Jane Black." It was indeed refreshing to witness the zeal and devo- tion of these people and the evident pleasure they felt in meet- ing with their " nursing mother" in a foreign land. Visited my patient in the Hospital ; he was sensibly failing ; I endeavour- ed to direct his mind steadily to the great concerns of his soul. 38 21st. Visited the heultliy Emigrants at tiie Slteda and distii* butod some tracts. I urged upon them tlie importance of 8et> Uingnear a church, school, mill, &c., with other hints relative to the peculiarities of the country which it is to the interest of strangers to know. Visited tlie Hospital. 32d and 23d. Spent these days as above : — reviewed some of my studies preparatory to Priest's Orders. 24th. This day my patient departed this life, (as I believe, from his calmness and resignation,) in the faith of God, and on the morrow I committed his body to the ground, '* in sure and certain hope of a joyful resurrection to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." Another person sent to Hospital from the Brig Ava. Sunday 27th. Had service in the Church for the few pro- testants who were on shore. Preached also to the soldiers in the Barracks. ♦ * » * • 29th. Went up in the Steamer to Quebec, for examination previous to Holy Orders. ♦ • » « June 6th. Visited the sick Hospital in the morning, and found that 14 persons had been admitted during my absence, some with scarlet and typhus fever, others with small pox. Spent a considerable time with them, particularly wilh those who ap- peared to be in the most dangerous state. * • « 12th. There were now 44 persons in all admitted. Visited them twice a-day, morning and afternoon, and gave them to the best of my humble ability the advice and consolation which seemed most needful in their several circumstances. 13tb. Buried a man who died of typhus,-— his end was per- fect peace. This day 10 persons were discharged from the Hospital, leaving 33. 16th. Visited the Hospitals and Sheds daily. Felt unwell, cold chills and a severe head-ache. Buried one person. E lifil liiiri' 11 - T - 34 Sunday ITili. Helil service in tliu morning for tlie Emi- grants and in the afternoon for the troops. Fult 90 unwell that 1 could hardly get through with the service : got homo as soon as possible and went to bed, cold chills and extremely violent head-ache. 18th. Started in the morning to the Hospital which was a mile from my house, hoping by exercise to drive away my sick eelings, but rather grew much worse. Dr. Douglas very kindly drove me home, and by the timely administering of pow- erful remedies, broke the fever in the bud. Was so far reco- vered as to be able (though still very weak) to hold Service on Sunday the 1st of July. Formed a project, while convalescent, of improving the Church. Often was I grieved by the dis- agreeable contrast between the Romish Chapel, which is indeed a neat, well painted and finished building of its kind, and our poor forlorn-looking Zion. July 3d. Still weak and dizzy. Carried an umbrella to keep off the heat and visited the Hospital. Found that 1 1 pa- tients had been admitted during my sickness, and that 12 had been discharged. Very fortunately no deaths occurred in this time. 3d to Aug. 4th. 45 persons, English, Irish, and Scotch were admitted to Hospital ; about as many discharged ; 4 deaths 2 men and 2 women. During this time I paid daily visits to the Hospital and Sheds, part of the time twice a day. Preached on the Sundays to the Emigrants and Troops, and had also an occasional Service on week days, for those who happened to be on shore. Employed all my spare time during the last fort- night of July, at cleansing and painting the Church, not many Protestants being on shore at this time. I was desirous of get- ting it put in a fit state for the administration of the Holy Com- 35 tnunion on the firBt Sunday in August, and for thesako of gaining time, but particularly of saving expense, (having only £3 lOs. which the Rev. A. W. Mountain collected among his friends for this purpose, with £2 15s. contributed by friends of the Church on the island,) Canadian workmen being so slow and their charges so high, I was obliged to take the brush in hand and do it myself. The Church is about 40 feet long by 25 wide, fitted up with two rows of forms leaving an aisle in the middle ; these I painted, also all the walls and ceiling, which are made of boards ; the chancel rail and lecterns I varnished, and the windows I stained. 6th. Preached in the Church and administered the Holy Communion. Service in the afternoon for the Troops. Visited the Hospital in the evening. 6th to 26th. 101 persons sent to Hospital, chiefly from the barque Circassian, of Greenock, Scotland, all with bad typhus. These made up a larger number of Protestants, I >\as told, than had ever been in Hospital at any one time, except in the summer of '47. Visited the Hospital once or twice every day. A good many of these people were Highland Scotch and could not understand English, so that communication with them was ren- dered slow and difficult. I made use of some of the convales- cents who understood both Gaelic and English as interpreters. * * Continued to work more or less every day on the Church spire, this I did in a shop close by my house. * * (Buried during this period 8 persons, 3 men, 3 women, and 2 children. ) 27th. Cholera broke out. Buried 3 persons. Employed a part of the day in measuring and marking out the grave-yard in a regular manner. Selected my own resting-place in a quiet corner beneath a beautiful spreading elm. m ■ m r r. From Aug. 28th to Sept. 1, buried 30 persopj. Sept. 2d. Buried 8 persons and Thomas McBrien,one of the Hospital Orderlies. This man had been on the station for five years and had passed through all the terrors of &tal '41 un- scathed, notwithstanding it was his duty to coiBn the dead. He told me that be had frequently single-handed lifted up in bis arms 100 corpses in the course of one morning, put them in coffins, and nailed them up. * * * ♦ * Administered the Holy Communion in the Church, and a pecu- liarly solemn feast it was. ** In the midst of life we are in death : of whom may we seek for succour but of thee, O I^ord, who for our sins art justly displeased ?" * * ♦ 7th. The cholera was at length exhausted for want of more victims. Two families, one consisting of 5 persons^ the other of 8, were quite blotted out from the land of the llTing. T^are was one old Patriarch among the rest, who lived to see a Biiune* rous race d* children and grandchildren snatched awty, ooe by one, till he was left alone. From the middle of July and all through this trying time, I worked hard at the Church spire during spare mmnento, notr withstanding the advice of friends to save my strength for the time of need. I believe that to God's blessing and this coiMitant and varied employment, I owe the preservation of my life. From Augt. 26tb to the end of the season^ Oct. 17th, 91 per* sons were admitted to Hospital. Oct. 5th, one man died, who was the seventieth and laat of the unfortunate passengers of the Circassian : at hit bead I raised a humble monument recording the event. * * * 17th. It was with feelings of pleasure, after a sojourn of 5 months, that I sailed away, looking back at the scene of my labours and our pretty little church now restored, with its pin- nacles and spire pointing upward, (ample reward for all my 37 labour !> ami with devout thankfulness to Almighty God for this manifest token of his favour, the preservation of my life, while so many valuable servants of the Church had been called away the two seasons before. Truly the ways of Providence are inscrutable, TVuly " the Lord has power of life and death ; he scourges and shows mercy ; he leads to the gates of the grave and brings up again :" he smites the strong while he spares the weak. *' Praise the Lord, O my soul ; and forget not all his benefits ; who saveth thy life from destruction ; and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness." From the time of my leaving the Quarantine Station to the 24th Feb., 1850, the date of my appointment to a permanent charge, I was employed, according to bis Lordship's directions, in the two vacant Missicms of ShefTord and Brome : to these I gave all my Sunday services except four, which I divided be- lwe«i the Towni^ips of Windsor, Ham andDudswelL For the most part I had three services on Sundays, also several weeL day evenii^ services at Magog Outlet, Stukely Mills, Pottoa and *' Sutton Corner." At these places the door a(^pears to be partly opea for the Church, particularly at the last mentioned place. ♦ • ♦ With a little encouragement I think thai the people of Stukely woukl join and build a Church. This with the " Outlet" would form a new Mission. The Outlet ia certmnly a desirable post to occupy, for it is destined, from various advantages which it possesses, to beccnne •£ large flou- rishing place. M«nMM^M«WW*MMtf*MawWMi«i#V«^^iM#«Mi>MMMMAMMMa On the Rev. Mr. Chapman's appointment to a charge, the Rev. J. Carry succeeded him as Travelling Missionary in the destitute Settlements!, on the borders of the Districts of Mon- 38 treal and St. Francis, wbore he *vas employed, from March 6, to April 21, of the present year. Mr. Carry speaks, in strong and feeling terms, of the spiri- tual destitution of the inhabitants of these settlements. He met with very few Church families : and not unfrequently was indebted to the hospitality of members of the Dissenting bodies. These persons he found uniformly kind and communicative. EXTRACTS from Mr. Carry»s Journal:— March 8th. Went to Ely, a distance of ten miles. Got notice given of a Service at Mr. Nixon's house, at 7 o'clock, p.m., when a few persons, s.me from a distance of two miles, assembled. After Service, conversed for an hour and a-half with some who remained, on the prospects of Jthe Church in Ely, a project to build a church and purchase a glebe. I stren- uously urged the advantage of this, and the necessity under which Christians lie to exert themselves for the church. The excellence of the Prayer-book, and the utility of lay-reading in the absence of the clergyman, excited the interest of the persons present. On the whole, from what 1 can learn, the people seem desirous to do what they can. They are simple, uneducated Irish, well-affected to the Church. • • * March 1 1th. This day, came eleven miles to " the Outlet," three of which it took me two hours to travel, in consequence of the almost impassable state of the roads. • * * 1 got notice given of a sermon at 7, p.m., when some 25 or 30 people assembled. And such a service ! It was the first time I ever heard our Service (shall I say, celebrated ?) without a single response, — not even one solitary Amen I I cannot describe my feelings as I read our Confession and ver- 39 sides, and Prayers, and Psalms, and Hymns, — not hearing a voice but my own, while the people sat from the beginning to the end of the prayers. At the conclusion, however, my feel- ings were so strongly excited, that before I commenced my sermon, I addressed to them an animated expostulation of some length, at the impropriety of that posture in approaching the Supreme God. The result was, when I said, ** Let us Pray," in saying the Collect before the Sermon, every one knelt down. They seemed attentive. I left an appointment for Wednesday fortnight. ♦ « • March 31. Visited a Settlement begun nine years ago, in all which time a Methodist Preacher visited them once, ( last year,) and the Rev. Mr. Chapman once or twice before his or- dination, and 3 or 4 times after. They certainly are destitute, — not having even a school. There are ten families in the Set- tlement, seven of which belong to the Church ; the others are glad to attend on its Services. Had Service here, at 1, p.m., and, in the evening, in Mr. Chapman's neighbourhood, at 7. A good number attended on both occasions. Travelled, to- day, twenty miles. March 22. Came to Ely, where I staid on Saturday, the 33d, for the purpose of making some inquiries. Mr. Arm- strong, a firm churchman, entertained me hospitably. I am fully confirmed in what I said before about Ely. 24th. Sunday. Had Service in Mr. Armstrong's house, at 10 o'clock, a m., at which about 60 persons were present. Two children were baptized after the second lesson. In the evening I went through the woods to a railway section, and had service in a settler's house, where the railway labourers and some of the settlers assembled to the number of 50. They were remarkably attentive and devotional in their conduct, 40 and very thankful fur my services, earnestly requesting I might come again. « « • March S9th. Good Friday. In the morning, wrote notices of the Services, and had them posted in conspicuous places. To^y I felt melancholy in my lonely fast and my lonely prayers, as I recollected the former returns of this day, es- pecially the last, when I went to the House of God in com- pany, and my devotions were animated by the presence of multitudes of lowly and penitent fellow-worshippers. A Travelling Missionary in these deserts has surely need of *' faith and patience !" In the evening had Servfce, at which about five were present. This was discouraging ; but I waited with some hope, that on Sunday, as there had been a timely notice, and as there was a good chance, the people would assemble. SOth. Prepared an Easter discourse. 31. Easter-day. Had my patience rewarded by a congre- gation of 19 persons, 4 of whom were children ! 'Tis sad. The people are strongly prejudiced against the Church. • « • In another District, I was informed, that very many years ago, the Dissenting Meetings were numerous and well'attended ; the people were religious and the Ministers active ; but now there are, though the population is in- creased greatly, few people who attend Public Worship, and the people are irreligious and indifferent. * * There is no stated regular Service of any kind. The preachers, I was told, could hardly live. One, a zealous Methodist, had to re- turn to his axe to support a wife and family. Who does not see in this a practical evil of the greatest moment resulting from divisicms ? Were the people united, or nearly so, they conld support one or two Ministers, and have one or more places of worship. 41 April 2. Reached Hereford. There is not one church- man in this Township, and I could hear of only two Old- Country people. No words would suffice to describe the con- dition of the people in religious matters ; not that they are more destitute of opportunity than others, for they have occa- sional Services ; but the effect of them has been little for good. April 3. Next day I assembled a few people and had Ser- vice, baptizing four children, two of whom were of one family and two of another. Two men, with whom I conversed (those whose children I baptized, and who seemed the best af- fected), were of opinion, that we could establish a Service there with advantage, all the sects having tried and failed. They even asked, what they would have to pay a Minister ? I told them, nothing, at least for the present, as the Travelling Missionary would visit them. The Preachei re chiefly such as come from beyond the frontier. • • « • ^q settled Minister or Service in a Township settled 50 years ! m^m^^m m ■■■■»»»»»-■- - , ^» - ^^ -^^ ^j - ^- ^- ^ ^ ^ _ , ^ , . .
