Id Prayer to be used at all Meetings of the Society, AND OF ITS SEVXRAL ASSOCIATIONS.

Amen. O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldst 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 nourished the Church in the Colonies : and bless in like manner with Thy Holy Spirit and Providential succour the Society in 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, S£V£NTH ANNUAL REPORT. ^««#M«MMMMAAM^MM 4 ¥ In presenting the Members of the Society generally, with an account of their operations during the past year, the Central Boafd find themselves called upon to report to their great regret that, as far as relates to the amount of pecuniary contributions, the result will be found less favourable than could have been desired. This, however, can hardly be matter of surprise, since no one can fail to be aware of the existence of an un? precedented depression of interests in the commercial world— a cause which indeed, to a certain extent, affected the income of the Society for the years 1847-8. It was then, however, hoped that this hindrance to its success would be of no long duration. But it has pleased the Good Providence of Him who ** ordereth all things well," that this hindrance should not only continue to operate against us, but should increase in magnitude. So that a falling off in the annual income of the Society is not to be looked upon as, of necessity, the effect of any diminution of interest or zeal in its cause. On the, contrary, an increased interest has been manifested in many parts of the Diocese during the past year, while in others where laudable efforts were made in the preceding year, it has been found quite impossible to sustain them. The decrease will be found principally in the sums collected after sermons. The total receipts of the Treasurers at Quebec and Montreal during the year (exclusive of remittances from District As- sociations) have been *.. ••.... £791 4 8| The income of the District Associations, as far as they have reported • •••• 431 2 11 Total contributed in the year £ 1 ,222 7 7^ Being less than the aiuount reported last year by nearly £500. To account, in part, for (ho ilecroaso iu this year's income, it is proper to mention that, both last year and in the year 1847, tho Society received contributions to the amount, in each year, of upwards of £220, from quarters which can only bo regarded as occasional sources of income. Last year wd had to record a legacy of £100, currency, and a donation of £100, starling, from Engtohd to the Widov^s* and Orphans' Fund— ^ and, in 1847, a donation of £100, currency, from the late Rev. J* Leeds, and of £135 from the congregation of Trinity Chapel, Montreal, for the support of a Missionary^ according to an arraingement which it was espected would have been continued, but which bias since fallen through. So that the decrease this year is really about £270.* The balance at the close of the last year in tho hands of the Treasurers amounted to. £563 3 4j| Their receipts since that period have been.. 1,045 7 8 Total income for the year. .. . £1,608 11 0| The expenditure for the year has been 1 ,01 1 4 10 Balance this day £597 6 2| During the past year, £250 have been invested in Bank Stock, for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, in addition to £1,000 funded before, of which £200 are in Government Debentures. Since the last Anniversary, the Society has received a dona- tion of 200 acres of landj in the Township of Halifax, from Mrs. Salter Mountain, in addition to 800 acres previously given for Church purposes in this Diocese. This last donation is intended as an endowment for Schools at C6teau du Lac. * An unotttit, also, of jC50, Mihicb haft heretofore ttassed through the hands of thBlVeanirer at Montreal, and been included in his accounts, for th« main- tenance of th« Incumbent of Chrittieville, has not been paid to him this year. IS Mr. Malcolm MJBlDik has also given two acves and a-lialf in the Townsiiip uf Qrenville, for tho eitc of a church and a burying-ground. Mr, Walton, late of Ch&teattguay-Baein, has also made over to the Society a valuable farm at that place — principally with the view of maintaining a clergyman upon the spot. But, At present, diere is but a small field of labor there. To secure this property to the Society by a clear title, a certain outlay was necessary— 4he interest of this, however, is fully covered by the rent of the farm, and when the property increases in value, the surplus will be available for the purpose contemplated by Mr. Walton. - The late Baron de Longueuil had promised 500 acres of land, in the Township of Upton, to the Society, but the deed was, unfortunately, never passed. The present Baron is un- able, from his properly being entailed, to give a valid title, but he has liberally intimated his intention of having the land valued, and presenting the Society with the amount. QTravcUmg Mssxonaxits. The want so long and so painfully felt of clergymen to fill the important office of Travelling Missionary was partially supplied by the appointment, in December last, of the Rev. Thomas Shaw Chapman. Immediately on his appomtment he proceeded through tho destitute parts of the District of St. Francis, to those in the west of the District of Montreal. It was his intention, also, to have gone up the Ottawa, in con- formity with the instructions given him by the Lord Bishop, but he was unfortunately taken ill, at St. Hyi)cinthe, with a fever, the effects of which incapacitated him from any active labour for several weeks. Upon his recovery, he proceeded again to the District of St. Francis, dividing his time princi- 16 pally among the Townships ot' Cliflon, iDudswell, and Ham, where there are large numbers of church people far beyond the reach of any settled clergyman. Your Missionary met with much encouragement in his duty — his ministrations being thankfully received wherever he went, and being, we may trust, blest to the eternal good of many ; some extracts from his journal will be published with the Report. In the begin- ning of May, he proceeded to Grosso-Isle, to take charge of the Quarantine Station at that place-^a duty which has always, since the establishment of the Society, devolved upon its Missionaries, when it has been possible to obtain the ser- vices of any. It is matter of great thankfulness to Almighty God, that the labors of the Missionary at Grosse-Isle have this year been unusually light. The Rev. £. G. Sutton, Missionary at St. R6mi, receives £50 a-year from the Society's funds, under an arrangement which was entered into when the extent of the Mission was so great as to make it properly a travelling Mission. The charge has been, however, subdivided, and its limits are now re- duced to those of an ordinary Mission. In order to supply, as far as might be, the deficiency arising from the want of Travelling Missionaries, the Central iBoard made an arrangement in October last, by which the extra ser- vices of four clergymen were provided for destitute places in their respective neighbourhoods. The Rev. J. Butler, of Kingsey, has served four places in this way, in two of which he officiated in school-houses ; in one in a private house ; and in the fourth in a log hut. The congregations ranged from six to sixty. At one of these stations he held service regularly every fortnight, and at the others occasionally — performed six baptisms, and has one adult candidate preparing for that sacrament. IT y ed lat The Rev. J. FlaDagan, of Mascouche, has held fortnight! j services in the vacant Mission of New Glasgow ; travelling on some occasions nearly 70 miles, on others 50, and on none less than 40. He administered the Lord's Supper twice, and had, in all, 43 communicants , Baptisms, 10 ; Marriages, 2. The Rev. Charles Forest, of Qrenville, has paid a monthly visit to destitute places in the Townships of Lochaber, Petite Nation, Buckingham, and the Augmentation of Grenville, on the Ottawa. In January he travelled 116 miles, preached 4 times, paid 16 visits, baptized 5 children, and addressed 450 or 500 persons. In February, travelled 112 miles, preached 4 times, baptized 8 children, and administered the Holy Com- munion to 10 persons. These visits were repeated every month, except at some of the stations which were inaccessible during the breaking up of the roads. Some extracts from Mr. Forest's journal will be printed with the Report. The Rev. Jos. Scott, Rector of Dunham, has supplied, as far as lay in his power, the Mission of Brome with Sutton, which had become vacant by his appointment to the Rectory of Dunham. He has paid fourteen visits to those places, travelling on each occasion 42 miles. The Holy Communion was administered once at each place, at Brome to twelve, and at Sutton to four persons. The arrangements made with these gentlemen will continue in force until the appointment of a second Travelling Missionary, which is not expected to take place before Christmas. A candidate for the office, has, within the last few days arrived from England, having been furnishr.ii with his outfit, and sent to the Bishop, by that indefa- tigable friend of the Canadian Church, the Rev. William J. D. Waddilove. (UraDelUng ^gettt. The Travelling Agent of the Society made a tour during 18 the past winter througli (he District of St. Frnncis nnd the counties of SheflTord, Missisquoi) Chambly, Huntingdon, Ln* prairie, and Megantic. He attended the Annual Meetings of the St. Francis, Richelieu and Megantic District Associations, and sixteen parochial meetings besides — travelling about 650 miles-^our other appointments which he had made he was prevented from keeping by illness, and in some few other cases local circumstances rendered a postponement necessary. Some particulars of his visits will be given in the Reports of the several Districts. The amount of Sales in the Depository, at Montreal, has been but small ; but the stock has been reduced considerably. A large number of the clergy have availed themselves of (ho arrangement, by which tliey were enabled to take out prayer- books for sale in their respective Missions, but have not yet accounted for the proceeds. An additional order, to (he value of about £30, sterling, has been sent to the S. P. C. K., in London, for books — and tracts, to the value of £10, currency, have been procured from the depository of the Church Society of Toronto— 1,728 tracts have been distributed gratuitously. Through some mistake, a case, containing books to (he value of £30, sterling, a grant from the S. P. C. K., which was shipped last year, has not yet reached the Depository : but it is trusted that the stock will soon be so increased as fully to keep pace with the demand. The Depository is still in charge of Mrs. Walton, at her establishment, Great St, James Street, Montreal. €trtttation. i The Standing Committee on Education presented a Report in October last, containing a valuable suggestion, which was -# • — 19 actud upon by the Board, that tho Society should bo put into communication with tho School Society for New- foundland and tho Colonies, which aisists in tho maintenance of several schools in the Diocese, with the view of ejecting some arrangement, by which tlie two Societies, having a com* mon object in this respect, might be made to work together, and the resources of both rendered thus productive of more good. The proposal having been favourably entertained by the So- ciety at home, arrangements are now in progress, which it is trusted will speedily issue in a result satisfactory to all the par- ties concerned, and become tho sourco of great benefit to the poorer settlements of the Diocese, in which tho want of a suitable and scriptural education is very sorely felt. ©rants. Tho Central Board have this year expended a larger amount than usual, in grants towards the erection of Churches, and other objects contemplated by the Constitution of tho Society.

The Church in this Diocese is not called upon at present to make any provision for the Society's remaining object, viz : to afford assistance, where it may be necessary, to young men under pre- paration for the ministry of the Gospel, as her want in this be- half is met by the never ceasing liberality of the venerable So- ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel, the mother of the Church in the Colonies. But it is manifest that she cannot continue long in this state of dependence — and it is trusted that when the provision for this object, so all important to her wel- fare, shall devolve wpon her, there may be seen no lack of service on her part. - At the Annual Meeting in 1848, a Committee was appointed to consider the necessity of amending certain of the By-Laws of the Society. Their report was finally disposed of this day, having been previously considered at a meeting of the Society 21 liehl for tho purpose in May last. Some of the al/, rations pro- posed by tho Committee have been adopted, and will be seen when the By-Laws are published with the Report. Before proceeding to give an account of the sums raised in the several Districts during the past year, the Central Board are desirous of taking this opportunity of earnestly calling the attention of the clr rgy to that portion of the tenth article of the By-Laws of the Society, which provides that they shall, through the Secretaries of their respective Districts, report annually to the Board, at least one month before the Annual General Meeting of the Society. The greatest possible degree of inconvenience arises from a neglect of this rule. The Report is necessarily made up in great haste, and from very imperfect materials, and it is not, under these circumstances, to be wondered at that some inaccuracies should be found to be the result. In the City of Quebec the sums raised during the past year have been as follows : — Annual Subscriptions and Donations •• £113 17 0^ Life Subscriptions . • 50 Proceeds of Sermons for the Widows and Orphans 62 9 Proceeds of Quinquagesima Sermons. 27 2 8 £243 5^ Being less than the amount contributed last year by upwards of £80. Both the Sermons were preached in the Cathedral and all the Chapels in the Parish. In Montreal, there has been one Life Subscription of j£*12 10. Annual Subscriptions and Donations, £74 7 6. Collections for Widows and Orphans in all the places of worship except Trinity and St. Anne's Chapels, £38 5 2£ (upwards of £^3 of which were collected at a Military Service). Quinquage- i 88 sima Collections, made at the Parish Chuich and all the Chapels except Trinity, ^^36 1 4*— Total, £161 4 10. The Quinquagesima Collection at St. George^s, was, tlirough some mistake, added to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, at the re- quest of the Chapel Warden who paid it in. Since the report was made up, a statement has been received of monies paid in on the 3d inst. to the Treasurer, which there- fore must appear in his accounts for the ensuing year. The amount is £27 12 6, of which £12 10 are a Life Subscription and the balance Annual Subscriptions from St. George's Chapel. Including these sums the total reported from Montreal is £183 17 4, shewing a decrease upon last year of nearly £90.* Upper (DUama 2Di0tvut ^ssoctatlott.

Upwards of £70, however, have been contributed within the Mission during the year for local pur- poses. The Mission of Clarendon has not reported. The whole amount raised in the other two for the Society has been £6. Cotdcr (IDttdtva llltatrUt ^00oriatton.

The Annual Meeting of the Association was held, on the 30th. May last, at St. Andrews, after Divine Service, at which a Sermon was preached hy the Rev. Mr. Tremayne, of Hawkes- bury, on the opposite side of the Ottawa, in the Diocese of Toronto. The Missionary at Grenville has since sent an inde- pendent report to the Society. The whole sum raised for the Society in the three Missions of St. Andrews, Vaudreuil and Grenville, is £46 13 2, of which £35 13 9 are Annual Subscriptions, 5s. a Donation, £5 proceeds of Sermons for the Widows* and Orphans* Fund, and £5 14 5 Quinquagesima Collections. Nearly £200, however, have been raised within the District to meet pressing local claims, so, that although there has been a falling off in the amount contributed to the Society, there has been a marked increase in that raised for Church purposes generally. The amount remitted has been £2G 16 3.* JIJiaul)antoi0 JDislrirt -^Isadriaticiu. The amount collected in the five Missions in this District, after the Sermon for Widows and Orphans, was £18 11 3d — after the Quinquagesima Sermon £17 7 5— of Annual Sub- scriptions £\8 14 7^. Total £54 13 3$. At C6teau du Lac the people are actively engaged in the erection of a new Church, and the Missionary ha^, therefore, * Whenever an amount is mentioned as remitted Irora a District Association it is to be understood of the Annual Subscriptions and Donations, exclusive of the proceeds of Sermons, which are remitted entire — a proportion of the Annual Subscriptions is in some cases appropriated by (he Committee of the Association. not deemed it expedient to call upon them fur subscriptions to the Society. Meetings were held in February last in Huntingdon and Durham, for the purpose of endeavouring to excite an addi- tional interest in the Society, at which the Secretary of the Society was present, and preached at the Services which pre- ceded the meetings. Both Meetings were extremely well at- tended. Thean.ountof Annual Subscriptions remitted to the Trea- surer at Montreal has been £14 15. One of the Missions in this District has been vacant during the past year, but has been supplied, as far as possible, by the Mis- sionary at Mascouche under the arrangement already mentioned. The Report of the District Secretary states the amount of Annual Subscriptions in the Mission of Rawdon at £17 17s 6d, being nearly twelve times as much as the amount raised last year ; which evinces a highly creditable degree of liberality and zeal on the part both of the Clergyman and of the people. Besides this amount (of which £10 5, have been remitted, the remainder being appropriated for local purposes) £5 1 3, have been forwarded as proceeds of Sermons. At Mascouche there is a subscription as usual towards the support of the Missionary, and as it amounts to no less a sum than £42 10, there is no subscription to the Society. The Quinquagesima Sermon was preached at Mascouche, and produced £1312. In the vacant Mission of New Glas- gow £1 2 3, and for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund 9s. 7d. Total in the District for the Society, £26 1 9. 25 EUI)eUea SDUtrUt ^asonation. l^e Annual Meeting of this Association was held at St. John in February. Nearly all the Clergy of the District were present, as well as the Travelling Agent of the Society^ and a very large number of the Laity, some of whom had come from long distances. Parochial Meetings were also held at Clarenceville, LacoUe, Edwardstown, and Russelltown, and appointments were made at Hemmingford, Laprairie, and Chambly; at Hemmingford the meeting did not take place, the Missionary being absent from home : at Laprairie, the attendance was not sufficiently large, and the visit of the Society's agent to Chambly was postponed at the request of the Revd. J. P. White, as a considerable number of his parishioners had come to St. John to the District Meeting, and some others, on whose countenance and support he depended in a great degree, were absent at the time from home. Divine Service was held before the Meetings at Clarenceville and Lacolle, at both of which places the Society's Agent preached. The spirit manifested was, on the whole, encouraging, and addi- tional subscriptions were promised at all the Meetings. The Parishes and Missions .within the limits of this District are the same as were mentioned in tlie Report of last year, with the addition of Sabrevois, and Russelltown which has been detached from the unwieldy Mission of St. R6mi, as already mentioned, and constituted a separate Mission. At Sabrevois it is very gratifying to observe that the interests of the Society have not been forgotten. The congregation being composed principally of French Protestants, it was hardly to be expected that, in the present infant stage of the Mission, they should co- operate in undertakings for the general good of the Church in the Diocese. But their excellent pastor has no doubt explained to them the objects of the Society and shewn them that in sup- i 23 porting it they- ore contributing to the advancement of the king- dom of Christ, and the result has b^en thait he has sent in a list of 19 subscribers, contributing together £5 3 2^. , This District has contributed altogether to the funds of the Society £175 13 OJ, including two life subscriptions at Chanbly. There are annual subscriptions in all the Missions ^ except Sherrington. The Sermons for Widows' and Orphans' Fund produced £21 111, (exclusive of an amount believed to have Leen collected at Lacolle, but not remitted), and those for general purposes £26 1 1. Including the Life Subscriptions, there is an increase in this District of nearly d^l5. £43 13 1 have been remitted to the Treasurer of the So- ciety by the District Treasurer.

The Annual Meeting of this Association was held at Sher- brooke in January, and presided over by the Lord Bishop of Montreal, who also preached at the Service which preceded it. The Church was well filled, and all the Clergy of the District were present, except two who were prevented from coming by bodily infirmity. The Secretary of the Society also attended the Meeting. The Annual Report of the Asso- ciation exhibits an amount contributed to the Society of £100 19 1^. being a slight increase oyer that of last year. In three Missions in this District some of the subscriptions are wholly appropriated, and are therefore not included in the sum just men- tioned. The Sermon for Widows and Orphans was preached inalUhe Missions, and produced the sum of ^^16 16 6|. The Quinquagesima Collections amounted to £9 5 7, exclusive of one made, as it is believed, at Sherbrooke, but which has been neither reported nor transmitted, in consequence, probably, of the absence of the Missionary in England. j^70 15 are Annual Subscriptions from all the Missions except Melbourne, and Eaton, which have not reported, and ^3 12, anonymous donations from Lennox ville, to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund. Besides the proceeds of Sermons, the sum of £29 10 9, has been remitted to the Treasurer at Quebec. The Travelling Agent of the Society made appointments for Meet- ings to be held, if it should be desired, in all the Missions of 28 this District, and the District Secretary with the Clergy called Meetings at Melbourne, Eaton, Bury, and Compton. The Society's Agent was unfortunately taken ill just after the Dis- trict Meeting at Sherbrooke, and was prevented from keeping any of his appointments except that at Melbourne. At the two places last named, the Lord Bishop attended the Meetings, and a good feeling was manifested at both ; some additional Sub- scriptions were promised, but have not yet become due. The amount reported as raised for local Church purposes in the District, is jt^235 1 7. illegantu JDistrut CHasodattott. The AnnualMeeting of this Association, was held at Pointe ^ Levi in January, preceded by Divine Service, when a Sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of Montreal, who afterwards presided at the Meeting. The Revds. J. Torrance, Chairman of the District, W. King, A. T. Whitten, District Secretary, J. H. NicoUs and the Secretary of the Society were also pre- sent. In March, Meetings were held at Inverness, Leeds, and St. Sylvester, at which also the Society's Secretary was pre- sent, and preached at the two first mentioned places. At Leeds some considerable addition was made to the subscription list, and at St. Sylve'^ter « respectable list was opened, for the first time in the MiB.iion. These subscriptions, however, are not considered as yet due. The whole amount reported by the District Secretary is £56 9 8, of which £28 6, are Annual Subscriptions in the Missions of Pointe Levi, Leeds, and Ireland : the Sermons were preached in all the Missions and produced, for Widows and Orphans £16 8 11^, for general purposes, £1S 2^, Some of these have not been paid in, and are therefore not included in the Treasurers' receipts. 29 Of the Annual Subscriptions £20 18 0, have been remitted to the Treasurer at Quebec. tportnenf W\bU\A !^00octatton. From the Mission which gives name to this District, a Re- port has been received, for the first time since the formation of the Society, containing a Mst of Annual Subscribers to no less an amount than £24. It is believed that there is no Mission in the Diocese in which such cheering success has been met with as has crowned the zealous efforts of the Missionary at Portneuf. There are few places poorer — and yet few have done this year so much for the Society. This is not said in the way of reproach, or of invidious comparison, but from a desire to give honor to whom honor is due, and in the hope of provoking others to love, to be displayed in similar good works. The Val Cartier Parochial Association has contributed an amount of £2 2 6, in Annual Subscriptions. The Proceeds of Sermons in the two Missions in this District amounted, for Widows and Orphans to £3 9 II, general purposes £2 12 IJ. Total in the District, £31 4 6^. ®a0))e )Dl0trut ^00onation. There are no Annual Subscriptions in this District, and nothing therefore is to be reported but the proceeds of Sermons. To the Widows* and Orphans' Fund there is no return from New Carlisle, the other two Missions shew an amount of £2 18, and the Quinquagesima Collections in all three come to £8 13 U. Total d^ll 11 U The Society has this year to deplore the loss of one who had filled, since July last, the office of Vice President, His Ex- cellency Sir Benjamin d'Urban, whose memory should be dear to all Churchmen from the kind and hearty interest which 30 during his sojourn in this country, ho over manifested in the prosperity of the Church in general, and oi the Society in parti- cular. * It is with deep regret also that the Central Board have to report that the Society has for some months past been deprived of the invaluable services of Thos. Trigge, Esq., Treasurer at Quebec, the state of whose health rendered it necessary for him to spend the winter in a milder climate. The Board in Octo- ber last took the opportunity of recording their sense of the value of Mr. Triggers services, and of his unremitting zeal and attention to the aflairs of the Society — and are thankful to be enabled to state that there is now a prospect of his speedy return, and resumption of those duties in the execution of which he was so efficient and indefatigable. The Board have been fortunate enough to secure, during Mr. Trigge's absence, the services of Henry Jessopp, Esq., a gentleman who is eminently entitled to the warmest thanks of the Society as well for the kindness with which he undertook, as for the manner in which he has discharged the duties of the Treasurer. The office of Honorary Counsel to the Society in Montreal having been for some time vacant, Edward L. Montizambert, Esq., of that city has been requested, by an unanimous vote of the Central Board, to accept it — which the Board arc happy to be enabled to state that he has kindly consented to do. The Central Board, in conclusion, would call upon all Churchmen to unite in n threefold endeavour to promote the great objects of the Society : — by their prayers, by their pecuniary assistance, and by their personal exertions in the cause. If the first are offered from an honest and good heart, there can be but little doubt that the others will, by the Divine blessing, soon spring from the same source. And without the first, it is vain to look for any real blessing on the others. 81 We must not conceal from ourselves the fact that a great deal more thaa is done not only ought to be done, but can. be done — nor should we forget how mortifying a result is produced from small deficiencies, here and there, when they come to be thrown together. A similar principle holds good with re- ference to exertions in the cause, and if all will endeavor to exert themselves only a little the result cannot fail of being satis- factory, when the efforts made are undertaken in sole dependence on the Divine blessing. But to bring our contributions up to the proper mark, there is need o^ not a little, but a great deal of, exertion. The next year must make good the deficiency of this, and stiil increase upon the amount of last year. This then is the task before us ; let it be engaged in at once : it is too much the custom to postpone our operations, in the hope of an improve- ment in the times. The hope is disappointed : and then, as a natural consequence, we are less successful than ever ; whereas, doing what we can now in difficult times, we shall find it an easy and grateful task to increase our exertions in proportion to any amendment which the Providence of God may bring about in our circumstances. Let us set about the work then in earnest : and may the Lord prosper it in our hand. We can- not doubt but that His blessing will rest upon it, if only we do our part : for He regards with special favor all undertakings which have for their object the advancement of the kingdom of His dear Son. Such an undertaking is that which we have now in hand : it is not the collection of a certain amount of money that we are to set before us as our aim, but the attainment of means for extending the knowledge of Christ, and becoming instrumental in the salvation of souls. These are obje'^ts which must be dear to the hearts of all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity : all Christians who are worthy of the name must take a lively interest in their promotion, for they cannot forget what their Lord has let forth to them aa the tirit subject of a Christian's prayer. Let us pray that He may by His good Spi- rit open the hearts of many to receive the truth in the love of it, for then we may certainly hope to see the fruits of righteousness, including the highest exercise of Christian charity, love to the souls of men, brought foiih in abundance. 33 af a Spi- >fit, less, e to ♦ •.: iti EXTRACTS from the Journal of the Revd, Thos. S. Chapman, Travelling Missionary of the Society. dOth December, 1848. Started for the Township of Ham, where I arrived about 9^ p.m. The road bad, and the cold extreme. I intended to have preached at 10 o'clock, the next day ( being Sunday ) and desired Mr. Rice, my host, to give notice to that effect, but he told me ( a strange concurrence of circumstances), that almost all the heads of families were away from home, and besides the day being stormy and the roads bad, I thought that it would not be worth while to have a Service. Sunday, 31 St. 1 however got the household together with two or three others who chanced to drop in and gave them a familiar lecture upon the importance of reading the Scriptures and Prayer, &c. I was well received here and although the people were Universalists, they gave me a hearty shake of the hand on parting and wished me God speed. In passing through the settlement, which consists of twelve families, I distributed tracts. On nearing one of the houses, I saw a man chopping away boldly at a log of wood before the door. 1 did not appear as .'f I had taken notice of him, but as soon as he saw me, guilty conscience prompted him to shrink away into the house out of observation, — I happened to have a Tract with me entitled "The Christian obligation of the Sabbath,'* and upon the back of it written in a plain hand * Attend to this,* When I drove opposite the house, I motioned to some persons I saw at the window, the chopper made his appearance looking very guilty. 1 handed him the tract, enquired his name, bid him a kind good morning and drove on. I then drove on to Dudswell, a distance of 9 miles, the road being bad and my sleigh not being constructed for the double tracks, I was 4 84 hours in going the distance. Preached to a Congregation ut about 30 persona : the number was small on account of the short notice and the scattered population, (the only notice they had was a note which I sent in advance by the mail*boy the day before,) and a Methodist Meeting which was held at the same time in a house close by. Lodged at the house of Mr. Gavin, found him to be a very kind hospitable man and besides a staunch and intelligent Churchman. • • • •• • • • January 13th, 1840. I arrived at Stanstoad Plain about midnight and put up at the house of Mr. Thompson, who is the receiver of Her Majesty's Customs. Sunday, 14th. Preached in the morning to a Congregation of 35 persons, and in the afternoon at 2| o'clock, to a Congregation of about 65. This I was told by Mr. Thompson was well for the place. I baptised a child during divine service. The parents insisted a good deal upon having it done privately, but I showed them the Kubrick, by which I must be governed, met their scruples and explained to them the propriety of having this Sacrament celebrated in the Church. This was the first bap- tism which has been seen here for many years in public. The present place of Meeting is the second story of a building the lower part of which is occupied as a store. It is fitted up with comfortable forms and a large reading desk. The room is procured at a rent of $30 per Annum. The following Statis- tics I procured from Mr. Thompson's family, viz : 19 families, 91 souls. Men, Women, and Children. 16th. Started for Georgeville a distance of twelve miles, the road was so badly drifted that it took nearly the whole day to got there. My horse stuck and floundered so in the snow-driftis that in several places I was obliged to take him out of the sleigh and turn horse myself.

Wont to the Outlet distant 10 miles, the day stormy and the roads dreadful, one half bare and the rest barricaded by immonso snow drifts, cold severe ; arrived about noon, spent the rest of the day visiting the families of the place to the number of 18, to all of which I gave Tracts ; they treated me kindly and appeared thankful for them. 1 had notice given before the School by the Master, of a Service at 7, in the evening, but it proved so excessively stormy (both wind and snow) that it deterred the people from coming out. 1 met about 25 persons, they were quite attentive and reverent in their behaviour. At this place I met with an aged man, the father of a large family, but amongst all the men I ever met with, or conceived of, he appeared to be the most miserable : he has given up himself both soul and body to black despair, ho made my very blood chill when I saw his woe-begone coun- tenance and heard his desperate and blasphemous language with regard to his hopeless condition. I assured him that the merits of Christ were suflficient to save the vilest sinners, and that God was ready and willing to pardon the returning pro- digal, he said he knew that, but there was no hope for him, the Devil was sure of him, he could not pray, ho could not repent. This is some of the fruits of Millerism. At this place there is a large meeting house belonging to the Baptists, but now deserted, which 1 was informed, might be purchased fur a mo- derate sum. The place will become of considerable importance 36 in course of time on account of its locality and extensive ^vater- power. 18th. Set out for Georgeville, and in consequence of the drifts had to take the ice up the Lake, the wind strong and the cold most intense. Preached in Georgeville to a Congregation of 30 persons. This place is visited by Methodists, Baptists, and Universalists, and I am informed that the Romanists are coming to carry off the spoils, while the rest are fighting with each other ; they are concerting measures about building a Church. 19th. Started for Brome, late the Mission of the Revd. J. Scott, 15 miles distant, but in consequence of misinformation at Georgeville, I went round by Mansonville in Potton, which added 15 miles of extra travel. Put up for the night with Mr. S. he gave me some valuable hints from his own experience. At my request he also gave me a particular outline for my proceedings in the tract of Country with which he is acquainted, viz : the contiguous Townships of Potton, Sutton, Brome, Bolton and Stukeley. These five include an area of at least 550 square miles, and comprise a population of 7000 or 8000, and at present there is not one settled Minister of the Church. This is an important tract of Country possessing many natural ad<*- vantages : it abounds in iron ores, and water privileges, and is withal 3 good agricultural district : these things prospectively considered are (Mf great importance. 20. From Brome I went to Mansonville in Potton, 15 miles, where I had made an appointment the day before. Met a Congregation in the evening of about 30. I was told that it would have been much larger but for a Rechabite Meeting which was held that evening. It is a doubt in my mind whether the good sonsof Rechab of old would have allowed such a light excuse to interfere with the public duties of Religion. »' 37 They have done much particular good for Potton, but whether the general consequences will be for their interest is a ques- tion. The door is somewhat open here for the introduction oi the Church, for the most wealthy and influential of the inha- bitants are Churchmen or favourably disposed towards it. Sunday, 21st. Preached three times in Mansonville and vicinity, the Congregations were respectively about 70, 30, and 90, they were very orderly and attentive in their behaviour. In the evening 1 delivered an address to the youth of the place a large number of whom were present. Made an appointment for the Sunday following. 22nd. Spent the day in visiting the people of the village, dis- tributed some choice tracts among them. 23rd. Spent this day also in the above mentioned manner, was most kindly received. 24th. From Mansonville to Sutton Corner, distant 15 miles, road generally level, but Sutton mountain is to be crossed in this route ; had a Service in the evening at which there were about 75 persons, chiefly youth, on this account I changed my mind with regard to the Sermon I intended to deliver, to one suited for the young. Before the Service I made a few brief remarks upon the Liturgy of the Church, pointing out its maia. characteristics, its beauties and appropriateness for supporting the devotions of a Congregation of wors;hippers, they wera very attentive, I ms^a sn appointment for the next day at 10^ A.M. 25th. Travelled from Sutton Corner to the FMts, distant 5 miles. Put up with Mr. E. Kemp, an active zealous young Churchman, he has the oversight of a very pretty stone Church which is in process of building. Gave notice at the village School of a Service in the evening, in consequence of the darkness and rain not more than 20 persons came out. They 38 are chiefly Methodists in this place^ there are however, 7 or 8 Church families. 1 am inclined to think that Sutton possesses advantages which will make it animportant station for the Church to occupy. At Sutton Corner, they have no place for public worship, except an old dilapidated School house. They talk at present of building an '* Union House," (more properly a house of discord) but they cannot agree : the Universalists arc the strongest party. If there was a Clergyman in Sutton, I think that by proper attention he might get a Church erected here — ^the place is the centre of quite a large population. S6th. On my way from the Flats to Potton, I fulfilled an appointment made on the 24th at *' The Corner*' — about 25 persons present, the day was rainy, the road wet and in many places bare of snow. Dined at Mr. Spencer's, he is a man well disposed towards the Church and of some influence in the place ; then I started for the Coit School House in Putton, where I intended to have had evening Service, but found the ice on the Missisco River so bad that I did not dare to cross. Travelled on to ide village of North Troy, where I put up for Kfight. 27th. Staid the most of the day at Troy. Made this halt on account of the state of the road. Sunday, 28th. Preached twice in Mansonville to Congrega- tions of SO or 40 each. There happened to bo two other Meetings in the vicinity at the same time which tended to make the number small. 29th. From Mansonville to the Raxford School house, distance 8 miles. Service in the evening, Congregation about 50. None of them Church people. Made a few intro- ductory remarks upon the Services of the Church which tended to allay prejudice and excite attention. 30th. From Raxford to Knowlton's ferry opposite George- 39 ville on the Lake Memphrnmagog, distance 6 miles over Potton Mountain, Congregation about 60, none of them acquainted with the Church Service. Made a few remarks as above, people very attentive. Spent the night and part of the next day at the house of Mr. Green, a Methodist, had a very bad cold, so much so that I thought I should be quite laid up by it. 31st. Succeeded in reaching the outlet of the Lake, dis* tance 10 miles, intended to have had an evening Service but felt too unwell to undertake it, put up at the house of R. Merry. February 1st. Remained at the Outlet all day and had Service in the evening, about 75 persons present. 2nd. Travelled from the Outlet to Abbottsford, a distance of 41 miles, the road good, intended to reach St. Hyacinthe, and preach on the Sunday, but on coming to Granby, found that the Revd. G. Slack was then in Montreal and intended to have Service on his way home. 3rd. Made arrangements with the Revd. F. Robinson, of Yamaska, he performed Mr. Slack's duty and I his. 4th. Held two Services, at Yamaska and Rougemont. 5th. Travelled to St. Hyacinth, distance 15 miles. 6th. Went into Montreal for a quantity of Tracts, for gra- tuitous distributions and all I could beg and scrape tc^ether was 12 dozen. Had a Service in the evening, at which nearly all the protostant inhabitants were present : there are 12 families. 7th. Was taken ill of the Scarlet fever, and confined to bed for a fortnight. 21st. Was so far recovered as to be able to remove from St. Hyacinth, by easy stages to my father's in Windsor, distant 50 miles. From this date to the 14th of April, I felt quite unequal to the task of regular duty and dared not to undertake it on 40 account of the lingering weakness which the fever left upon me. I was however, able to officiate almost every Sunday, in a back settlement-in the Township of Windsor, 9 or 10 miles from my father's ; here I baptized six children. 4th March. I lulfilled an appointment made by the Revd. A. W. Mountain at Melbourne, aind he officiated for me in Dudswell when on His way from the Townships to Quebec. From April the 14th, to May the 5th. I spent in the Town- ships of Dudswell) flam,and Clifton. Each Sunday I had two Services. AH the other days of the week I spent in visiting from hoOse to house. There are 75 families in Dudswell, and f 3 in Ham, making a total of 88, of these 30 bdlong to or hdve been brought up by the Church, or express some predilection in its favour : 16 are professed Universalists, 23 are Baptists, the remaining 19 are Miscellaneous. In Ham t had one baptism, in Dudswell one marriage, and in Cliflon eleven baptisms. These people in general are very desirous of having the Church introduced among them, they appear to be heartily tired of that Monster Schism. Two of them, one a Methodist, the other an Universalist, said to me after the conclusion of my last Service in Dudswell, that if a Clergyman (^the Church were sent tbey would contribute to his support, and that they were heartily tired of '* home-made preachers," Uc, The kindness and civility of these people, I can hardly find language to express. 4i EXT tACTS from thb Journal of the Revd. C. Forest, of visits to destitute settlieihehtsi oh the Ottawa River. » January 8th. Set out for tlie *^ Augmentation," 15 niiles distant froo) Gren/ille, hour for Service 11 a.m at which hour the School House wa^ filled with anxious expectants, anohg whom was a large body of Presbyterians and Wesleyans, of the more rigid School. Unhappily the brealcihg down of my sleigh in consequence of the drea^.ful state of the roads^ detained me far beyond the appointed time, and a rumor of my mischance having reached the Congregation, after two hours waiting they dispersed. After a hard drive succeeded in reaching the Schooit House at { after 2 p.m., & v that ti large Congregation had been there, rode on, and throiign the zealous assistance of Messrs. It. C, and A. assembled 30 or 40 persons by half-past three. Ex- plained to them the purpose of the Church Society, in sending me up the Ottawa. Set hein i them the Non-Seclarian ambition of the Church, in seeking the welfare of tliemsetves and their children. Read prayers, fe\^ responding, pr^a'c^ed on the call of Abraham. ,, , At the close of the Service, it was mtimated to me that several children, whose health and age precKudeo the possibi- lity of their being safely brought to the School House, awaited Baptism, at the other end of the settle^nent. Appointed Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, to meet therri at Mr. M.'s, to baptize and to preach. It is extremely pleasing to observe the strong attachment to Church Ministrations which is cherished by these poOr people. Although for many years they have been excluded from the watchful guardianship of the Church, they still retain with fond 42 recollection, those impressions of her purity and truth, which were made upon their minds in earlier days. A giad smile of joy played over their features as they congratulated each other upon the prospect of a monthly Service. There are about 40 Protestant families in this settlement, of whom 15 belong to the Church. Left the Augmentation at 5| p.m. Travelling toward Petite Nation, which ( 14 miles distant) I reached in time to be at the School House at 7^ p.m. Preached in the School House, to 180 or more persons. Several men stepped 'forward and recorded their names as Churchmen. 2 baptisms. January 9th. Left at 9 next morning, reached Lochaber at 11. No Service owing to the miscarriage of my letter. This Township is a stronghold of the Baptists, and although it might form a valuable appendage to Buckingham and receive a fort- nightly visit of a Missionary from thence, yet in itself it cannot be considered an encouraging field fur Church of En- gland operations. Population very poor and scattered, chiefly lumberers. About half a dozen Church families in the Town- ship, paid 5 or 6 visits, and discoursed to the poor people on such subjects as seemed most suitable to their present circum- stances. I reached Buckingham at 7J p.m., very large con- gregations, upwards of 150 persons. Gladness seemed to beam in every countenance at the thought of Church being resumed in the place. Responses duly made. Living very good. Baptism 1. Number of Church families 50. Com- municants ( when the Rev. S. S. Strong was last there) 18. Buckingham, from its position, commanding all the lumber interests of the River aux Li^vres, and situated at a convenient proximity to the Li^vres Basin, which is the timber depot of \ 43 that section of the Country, is unquestionably destined to become a village of considerable importance before the expira* tion of many years, and considered as a centre for Missionary operations (having Templeton 1 2 miles on the one side, and Lochaber 12 miles on the other,) no Township on the grand River, yields promise of more abundant harvest than it does. Paid 3 visits. January 10th. Drove back toward the Augmentation (40 miles) which I reached at 10^ p.m., almost frozen to death. On the 11th, at eleven o'clock a.m., preached according to appointment at the back of the settlement, and baptized two children. Reached Grenville Parsonage in the afternoon at 5^. Having travelled 116 miles since Monday at 12 o'clock. February 12. At the "Augmentation" (which I reached after immense difficulty, a snow drift of three days continuance having so blocked up the road that, with two horses attached to my sleigh, I was two hours travelling the first five miles.) A question was put (o me by the leading churchman of the place, whether, if the settlers evinced themselves zealous and diligent in getting up the walls of a Church and covering them in, (i. e. roofing,) the Church Society of the Diocese, ( or the Parent Society in England,) would second them in their efforts by completing the building. Their inquiry I promised to submit to the consideration of the Bishop and the Central Board, — and to communicate the reply. A Mr. Jonathan Kelly, will cheerfully deed over to the Church Society a site of two acres, or more if necessary, in the very centre of the settlement. And another party will give as much as a site for a Parsonage House if a Missiunlry can be supplied to them. I have little duubt that, if the Cler- gyinan coi^ld, p/TQ Um. su^iinit to the jnconvci^^^n^^ c^ living ii^ a Ipg Pat^f^pfigfi oji c9i;a(Qi;(able dimensions, the people woMid atr^jn every nery^ to have yne ^rQcte^. {,.

Unhappily, a great proportion of the population of Petite Nation have never been baptized.

Religious instruction is given with regularity and marked effect to the uneducated poorer classes, and even singing, by which I mean Psalmody, is cultivated with devotional order and gratifying effect. Buckingham. Preached at 7 p.m. larger Congregation than before, better responses and very good singing. 1 Baptism in the Chapel. 1 privately baptized that night ( tender age and weakness being alleged as the reason for her not being brought to the chapel.) Next morning two more were brought to me by a gentleman belonging to the North west Service, whom I likewise baptized. Found great difficulty in getting Sponsors. Roads breaking up. 4th Visit. April 15th. Could not go up the Ottawa in con- sequence of the state of the roads and the ice. I consequently paid a visit to the outskirts of Harrington and the Augmenta- tion, these two being the only places which could be visited with safety at this season of the year. When the Navigation is opened, 1 hope to visit Buckingham, once a fortnight, or once in three weeks. The other places once per month as be'' >re. 5th Visit. May 21st. The land road up the Ottawa being flooded, and impassable either on horseback or in a carriage, I could not accomplish more than a visit to Buckingham, which I did by taking the Steamer at Grenville, and proceeding by water and far as Dunning^s landing — 4 miles distant from the village of Buckingham. 47 To my great surprise I found the Hotel, (Dunning*M) which is usually 10 feet or more above the level of the Ottawa, apparently afloat. The river having overflowed its banks to the distance of at least |th of a mile from its natural bed, completely inundated the ground floor of all the dwelling houses, compelling the occupants to seek safety in the upper apart- ments. ... From the place I was ferried to the main land, and then walked to th^ village. Visited three families. Preached in the evening of the 2Snd, to a small Congregation. No Baptisms. The reason given for the smnllness of the Congregation was the swollen state of the Lievres River, across which it wore futile now to attempt to swing a boom, which is the only thing of the bridge species which has ever been attempted on this River The water is rapidly falling : by the flrst or second week of next month it will be possible to take in Petite Nation. 6th Visit. June 18th. The excessive heat rendering it all but impracticable to proceed by land, left Grenville in the Steamer and was put ashore at a landing 4| miles on this side of the School House at Petite Nation. From thence, having secured a conveyance, I pressed on and was in time to preach to about 60 persons, at 7|^ p.m. Sermon on family prayer, was listened to with deep attention by all present. It is a remarkable feature in all these stations, that during a certain season of the year, scarcely any but females attend divine worship. The male portion of the inha- bitants are, almost without exception, engaged in the lumber trade, and during the months of May, June and beginning of July, are absent with their rafts at Montreal or Quebec. Next week, (D. V.) I purpose to pay a Vist to the "Aug- mentation,*' and, if possible^ I will extend my run up to Buckingham. iDr. <2ri)e incorporaUl) Cljttrcl) Siociety in account 1848.
