PASTORAL LETTER FBOH TUB LOED BISHOP OF TOEONTO, TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF THE DIOCESE OF TORONTO. 4 TORONTO: PRINTED BY A. F. PLEES, AT THE DIOCESAN PERSS. M DCCC L, A Z93.ll J M TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF THE DIOCESE OF TORONTO 4i My Dear Brbthrbn,— Io my pastoral letter of the seventh February last, I mentioned my intention to proceed to Eogland to urge the prayer of our petition to the Queen, and if found judicious, lo both Houses of .Parliament. Above all, to brmg the facts of our case before the notice of the mem- bers of '.he Church in 6ur Father land—being con- vinced that they would feci the same indignation at so flagrant an outrage on our Holy Religion and the honour and dignity of the Crown, as had been felt here, and in the hope that they would not only feel, but act, and enable us by their offerings in ad- dition to our own, to found a new College under a holier and better form— nor have I been disap- pointed in these expectations. On the tenth of April I left Toronto, accompa- nied with the kindest sympathies, and the prayers and blessings of my people. On reaching New York, I was much visited by the clergy and laity, and gratified td find that the destruction of King's College, and the establish- ment of an institution, from which all Christian 3^6 01 "'""'"■p '8 excluded m,., ,1. ;»» ffo". .11 .he meZlll' "T^"' '-""J*"""- "d.nar, Measure ^^^ rcd''"~^"^'' ""' ^''"^>'- J-'deed eo general «'„,!

After suffering most severely even for weeks, tliey were providentially cast on the American coast, and with much difficulty got into Boston almost in a sicking condition. During all these perils, Thomas, being the most active and skilful mariner on board, was employed in the most dangerous offices, and being considered by the Captain and Mate their main-stay in working the ship, he was much more exposed than any of the other sailors. 'J'he result was, that although his energies kept him up while the danger continued, they no sooner approached Boston than he became totally helpless. On reach- ing the harbour, he was sent to the hospital and at- tended by the best surgeons and treated with the greatest kindness. On a careful inspection, his limbs were found iri a state of putrification from having been frozen, and that immediate amputa- tion io give a chance of life was inevitable. No- thing daunted he submitted cheerfully, and being of a good constitution — of a firm and vigorous mind and carefully nursed,he very quickly recovered. During his confinement and convalescence he re- ceived many substantial attentions from the benevo- lent people of Boston, and being lOw in full health the British Consul gave him a free passage to his friends in Ireland. On conversing, I found him full of hope and de- termined, notwithstanding his sad misfortunes, to preserve his independence and integrity. But what can you do Thomas, helpless, as you are become ? Not so helpless, I can learn a trade and if I can contrive to support myself while learning it there h uo fear.

Mr. Warr, who retains a strong affection for Canada and all who belong to it, returned from this colony a few years ago to England on account of his wife*s health which was very delicate, but is now strong, and had the good fortune to obtain the District Church of St. Sa- viour Liverpool. He is naturally eloquent, and, what is still better, proves himself an excellent Parish Priest, and is much respected by his congre- gation. Thursday, thirtieth April — Proceeded to Lon- don in the morning train. Found the Rev. E. Hawkins, the Secretary of the Society for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, waiting for me at the Station. He met me with the greatest cordiality, and I soon found that our case was al- ready widely known, and that the feelings and opinions were even stronger in our favour than io New York. On the third of May, the Rev. Mr. Hawkins announced the receipt of one hundred pounds on account of the Church University being the first offering, and coming so soon after my arrival gave us good promise of future success. Being now safe in London, I lost no time in making such prepara- tions and arrangements as might facilitate my objects, ano, that my arrival might be generally known, I put myself immediately in communica- tion with the heads of the Church, and the 9 '*o great SocietiV. »l. i of 'he forme, *'• ..^"'"""U I« ''""'« '"''•"- S'> Robert tj^ ' '•"•*•" 'he 1.

In a few days I presented my statement to the Rev. T. B. Murray, M.A., who considered it a document calculated to make a deep impression, and greatly to promote my object. Mr. Murray promised to insert it in the next Ecclesiastical Oa- zette, of which eleven or twelve thousand copies are circulated and read by most of the Clergy through- out England and the Colonies. Indeed during the whole of my stay in England, the two Societies and their officers weie incessant in their services and kind attentions, and were I to mention only one tenth of them it would extend this notice far beyond any reasonable bounds. Let me then ob- serve once for all, that besides uniform kindness and assistance in promoting my plans, whenever in their power they added the most substantial acts of their favour and good wili. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge voted the magnificent donation of three thousand pounds sterling, towards the foundation and endow- ment of the Church University ; and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, besides a grant of two thousand pounds payable by instalments, added a gift of land within the City of Toronto, believed to be worth three thousands pounds currency.

As my pre- sence in London as well as my objects were now generally known, the time had arrived when I must task my exertions to the utmost to bring my jour* ney to a prosperous issue, and therefore it was my duty to leave nothing honorable and practicable undone. Accordingly I made arrangements to have my address conveyed to every parish in the united kingdom, in order to interest the Clergy in my fa- vor. Next I was enabled by the assistance of my friends to form an influential Committee, to assist me with their advice and co-operation. At the first meeting of this Committee on the 13th June, I explained what I had already done and was do- ing — my need of their assistance as a stranger, and engaged in a great and necessary work. All pro- mised to do their best, and requested that a short address might be drawn up and issued in the name of the Committee. That there should be a meet- ing every Wednesday at one o'clock, at the Socie- ty's House, 79, Pall- Mall, to report progress and see from time to time what further steps might be taken. At their next meeting, on the 19th June, the Committee, after some deliberation adopted the following Address, and ordered it to be printed and widely circulated : — " UPPER CANADA CHURCH UNIVERSITY.

Mr. Pope, Missionary from the East In- dies, and the Rev. Mr. Gill from Tasmania spoke well. I was also called upon and made my state- ment, and was listened to with great interest.—* The Clergy and inhabitants of Windsor and Eton were particularly friendly to my object. At part- ing, the Bishop kindly invited me to Oxford on the Monday following, and promised to introduce me to the heads of houses, and to recommend my cause. TTventy-seventh May, Monday — took the ex" press train for Oxford, 63 miles, one hour and ^ quarter; met the Bishop of Oxford, but unfortu- nately his Lordship was obliged to return almost immediately to London. Ue, nevertheless, con- trived to introduce me to several heads of houses ; I resided with Dr. Jeune, Master of Pembroke Col- lege, whom I found surrounded wi4b a very interes- ting family. He received me with the greatest cordiality and did all in his power to serve me ; to his kind exertions I am chiefly indebted for the noble donation of £500 which the University bestowed on the Church University. It is quite delightful to visit Oxford, there is so much frankness and ge- nerosity of heart, and so much readiness to promote every good work. Several matters intervened to prevent me from proceeding to Cambridge, till the 3rd of June.-~ Found unfok'tunately that the term had broken up some days sooner than usual, and that almost all the heads of houses and most of the influential men were absent.

" Let literature and science have free scope, but let them be carefully impregnated with those Christian principles which can alone impart true worth and stability to character. It is not enough that you make your students learned if you fail to make them Christians, and if you do not enable them after leaving this College to carry with them mto social life the moral and sanctifying virtues of true and undefiled religion. This is happily your foundation. Should a parent ask ' is King's CoU * lege, besides its literary merits, a nursery of the * Christian Church, and a preparation of the king- ♦ dom of heaven ?'— You can truly anjwer 'Yes, to the best of our ability, God being our helper.' And in such a glorious work God will be your helper. Of this you have already had sweet experience, for at the expiration of the very first year, your scho- lars were so numerous as to defray, within a trifle, the whole of the expenses of your noble Institution! and on casting my eye over your 18th report, I find that they number during the current year 1291.

Even the reference itself, so far as I could gather, proceeded from no hostile spirit, but was grounded upon what was thought a precedent. In ths case of the Queen's College, I was told that a Charter had been first obtained in the Colony, and then the Home Government had nothing more to do than to comply with wishes already expressed and acted upon by the Provin- cial authorities, and I was left to infer that, had I brought a like document there woold have been no difficulty — but not having done so, it became neces- pary to prevent any misunderstanding to proceed in the same way. It may be that the Secretary of State did not dream of any opposition from the Colony, and considered the effect of the reference nothing more than a little delay ; I thought differently and considered such reference to the present Colonial authorities tantamount to a refusal. Had, indeed, the Colonial Government shewn the same friendly feeling towards the Church of England as the Go- vernment of the day did to that of Scotland, when the Charter was granted to Queen's College, there would have been no fear. Be this as it may, the reference to those who had done us so great injury and created all our difficulties, appeared to me, as it did to others, a cruel mockery.

At the same time it could not be concealed that a Chaiter on such terms must lose much of its dignity and value because it would not be altogether the gift of our Sovereign. Hence it became a matter of consideration whetherunder such a painful humiliation we should not better con- suit our honor, and the integrity of our principles by withdrawing our petition, and waiting a more propitious season for renewing our request, and this course was suggested by several influential friends, but on the whole it was thought wiser to let things take their course. This reference from the Secretary of State to the Colony—was made about the end of July, and as it was not my inten- tion to leave England before the middle of October, there was ample tinie for an answer. In the mean while I not only attended to my Comn.ittee, and the increase of contributions, but made frequent excursions into various counties — to Canterbury, to visit the Missionary College of St. Augustine— to Maidstone, Colchester, Northampton, &c. &c.
