OCCASIONAL PAPER, ETC, ^r ' P The Committee have the satisfaction of preseating further Reports of the progress of the Mission. Since the p.iblication of the last Ocoasioaal Paper, two additions havo been made to the agency employed, ,vizw,> Mr. Hurst, transferred from Newfoundlaad, and ap*- pointed lay missionary, and ISIiss Williams, a teacher of superior qualifications, from the Hcraae and Colamal Institution. Such has been the progress of the Schools, that the- original buildings, kindly lent by the Rev. Dr. Cronyn, the Rector of London (Canada West), were speedily found inadequate, and arrangements have been made for entering on larger premise. The necessity of this step will be seen from the fact, that, during the first six months 204^ were ^f used admission simply from want of room. It is m^st gra^fying to find that Ihe efforts of Mr. Dillon and his coadjutors have elicited a very cordial response from Christians in the Coloivy. Thus the Rev. H. Grasett, ExanuBiag Chaplain to the Bishop, writes to Mr. Dillon :— «I am ,Tery' happy indeed to hear so favorable a report of your progress, and that your schools are in go flourishing a condition.

Dillon. REPORT OF ME. B. M. BALLANTINE, ON THESCHOOLS. 10' In ttddition to tlih abore brandies taught in classes, the whole schools receives instaTiction in- grammar, geography, mental anth* metic, natural history, natural philosophy, music, &e., &c. ; and, since the arrirai of Mfes' Williams, the oldfcr- girls are taught- plum It is^gratifying to the agents- of the Society, to bfe • ablfe to report that during the quarter the f^chools have progress'^d in-a most satis- factoiy manner. The amval oi a female teacher enabled us to admit a number of girls, whose names we had on our list as applionntft for admission, and the above statistical tablowUl'^how that the females are the majority at present, ''^1' ' The present iReport' shows an increase on thc^last oft wefltyi#even, of which number, ttm boys and eight girfs are the children of fugitives from the States. Nothing, however, but the prospect _of a speedy removal to larger premises, could have induced us to iuerease t.ie number on last Beporti as the school is far too overcrowded, bu. two weeks more will ■ we expect, find us in newquarters, where we^shall be able to accommodate Tipwarde of two hundred more,— say 450. Your agents feel truly grateful- to be able to report' that the pro- grec^ of the children imnental acquirements has been highly satis- factory ; but what more than all gives eauseforthankfalness is the improvement in conduct and behaviour of the children, induced by the course of moral and religious training -estabUshed in the soliools; frequently are w& encouraged by the warm-hearted expressions ot the gratitude 01 parents for the amended behaviour and obedience of their children. Indeed we hesitate not to say that the conduct ot ouf' children, both in- and out of school, contrasts favourably with those of other public schools, a fact so palpable that applications have been made by several of the most' respectable people of the city for admission for their children. But your agents have other causes for thankfUhiess besides those alteady adverted to, viz:, the breaking down of the prejudices^ that existed in the minds of the colored classes against the school. Several of our most bitter opponents have voluntarily acknowiedged themselves to Itave beta deceived, and the consequence of this change of feeling is, that while we hirre during the quarter admitted eighteen colored children, we have applications for , twenty-one more, so fioonas we remove to our new quarters. ^>j<-i.Y «..>,, Two weeks ago, the school wab visited by a gentrettiati from the States travellirg on behalf of the Anti-Slavery Society, collecting information respecting the state and condition of the lugitives in Canada. He visited, all the public schools in the city, and hndmg only nineteen colored children in the whole, was astonished to tmd that we had seventy-five on our lists, and an actual attendance ot aistv-four. I>oxt day lie returned at the play hour, and was much pleased to see tlie freedom with which the white and colored fchv^dren played together. l a a But the labours of your agents among this race, are not continea to the children io; the Dajr School. In our Sunday School, which has mr -sed from sixty i to three hundred since we took it over m; January last, we have iburteen colored scholars, ciucily auuits, wuo attend no other school, and yoar Catechist has a Sunday-school /u. «• A\ U attended by colored people mu g^^ptural education to, m 80 tha^ your «S«^*^ J^S^thltT^ a raoe who, without the round r/umbers, one hun^ ^^fdd be iS totally destitute.

Yery few attend the same places of worship with the whites ; and, perhaps, not more than three-sevenths go anywhere. People in England think the fugitives will rush around the missionary, but it is a delusion. The strong- holds of Satan are as impregnable here as in a heathen land ; they must be fetched out of the higbways and hedges. Both fugitives and people from the Free States are coming here weekly, now the winter is breaking up. I have known thirty arrivals the last three weeks, and many may have come that I have not seen. I seek to find all new comers, and take them by the hand immediately ; for while strangers, their attention is most easily called to their spmtual interests. A colored man lately told me he knew a thousand families would find their way into Canada this year. But to see them come to be refused a house by their white brethren, and turned away from respectable lodgings, is very pain- ful, and only shows how far man is gone from the image of love in which he was first created. April 21, 1855. — I am in much better health now than when in Newfoundland. My walking exercise ha*^ doubtlesS; produced it, under God's providence. Seven or eight miles a-day, along .;' 13 ■;' unmade streets, make me tired enough at night, hut every week seems to lighten the lahor. I anticipated unkind treatment, and no welcome to people's houses, hut find no such thing. The Lord opens my way constantly, and people throng around me, saying, " When will you call at my house ? " Some who cannot read listen earnestly, while I read a tract for them. Monday last I was going to see a dying man, and passing by a cottage door, heard some one within speaking in an angry tone. I went in ; there were a colored man, his wife, and a boy ; all was quiet immediately. I asked, " Can any of you read ? " " No, Sir." Sitting down, I showed the boy a tract, aud asked him if he would like me to read it, and to let him hear what it said. I read page after page. The parents listened eagerly until I turned to the husband, and said, " What do you think of these things ?" He said, he knew he had not been born again, and that he was not fit to die. They entreated me to call as often as possible. May 5, 1855. — A gentleman who arrived here from the States this morning told me that 400 colored persons have come into Canada the last fortnight, and not less than forty have come around London, since my last "'leport vas written. It is grievous, however, to dis- cover the cold, dead state of their minds, and their utter indifference to instruction. When distressed with the sight of these things, I often take down the " Life of Henry Martyn," or that of " David Brainerd," and am sure to gain wisdom and courage by so doing. Yesterday I went out vijiting, rather cast down, with a feeling of insufficiency for the work before me, but intending to find a newly arrived family about two miles from town, when the Lord was pleased to show me, in an unexpected manner, that He had some work for me to do. Seeing two log huts a little distance from the road, I turned aside to them, left a tract at the first, aud proceeded to the second with another. When the mistress of the house saw me, she burst into tears, and said, " I don't know you, but you are some one the Lord has sent to comfort me in my distress. I prayed just now that He would send me some comfort, and He has heard my prayer." I found the woman, as far as man could judge, a de- cided Christian, and the cause of her trouble a drunken husband. I sat and conversed with her a long time, earnestly exhorting her, that, as she knew for herself the comfort of God's Word, so she would constantly call upon Grod for the conversion of her husband. After prayer I left her, fully persuaded that the Lord had directed my steps to her house. July 11, 1855. — This week I have had an opportunity of speaking to 150 colored people ';; one of their own chapels, and when it was proposed that the place Lould be thrown open to me next Monday evening to address them at greater length, the whole body responded, "Aye." I shall, therefore (d.v.), be able to effect an entrance amongst them, which may lead to happy results. On the whole, the prospects of the Mission appear to be encouraging, and so long as we can labor in simple dependence on God, the Autlior and Giver of every good gift, we have the comforting assurance, contained in Isaiah Iv. 11, that the word of the Lord shall not return unto Him void. 14 i- 1 have visited from house to hOusedii' Etrgland, and seen muck of the people both in agricultural and J^anufacturmg ' dwtnots^ b^^^ never met with so much, attention and civility as^m this-p^jce Not;«^ithstanding my administfiring an occasional sharp reprwti 1 donotTememberoneinstanoeofreaentmen*. v «^ -«;!

Presently the husband entered, and j^e knelt dZ'togX. On rising, I^olemnly addre,.^ the huBband^ whosr h& .ears fell thick and fast when a few pomted- questions had W m.^ to him.

Osc^ar Bullet, a fugitive from slavery, to whom I had explomed the Word of God' on© Sunday afternoon, when I! first came to London, was lately reported to besick. I oaM^^athis lodgings, and found him in the last stage of consumption, and apparently not at all anmous about his soul. He trusted God ^^^^^^^^'^Tl^'^^^ but knew nothing of a Saviour, or the need' orone; I read ^^e portions of Scripture, and pointed out to hun the lost conditicm of Lm man ; looking to the Holy Spirit *« t<^«f ' Vflrs^id ^ as his. He seemed to Know the meanmg of what was said,^d cried out aloud, and with great earnestness, "Lord Jesus, have mercy on my doul." This he continued to repeat while I remained. Next' day I found him much worse, utieasy m body and most anxious in his- soul, but looking for mercy through Jesus. Lad- ministered such comfort to his body as the oiroumstanoes would afford) and again pointed him to the Saviour. Visiting deathbeds is a sol(«m thing, and on no other occasion do I feel so much need of Mvine instruction, that on the one hand i ^ ^.-i. tc„„i,^ n...A>^ ^iu^nU aad whnm He hath not made sad, S on^the other, that'll ma> not «sew pillows to aU armholes," and so delude souls into a false peace* 15 The colored Sunday-school continues in active operation, and is becoming still more interesting. About sixty persons have received religious instruction therein, aijd some who came at first unable to tell all their letters, Can now read in the Biblei Nothing could be more interesting than to see men and their wives, fathers and children, little children and grey-headed old men, all striving together to read their Bibles. John HtUEST. REPOET OF MISS WILLIAMS. London, Canada West, July 12, 1855. I rejoice in having been appointed to a place where such a wide field of uBefulneas is open. Feehng m^ great responsibility I am often ready to exclaim, who is sufficient for these things ? A know- ledge of the fact, that so many immortal beings are to be placed under' my control, whose characters will be in a great measure assimilated to my own, makes me strive more earnestly to be con- formed to the image and likeness of Christ. I have still a very interesting class connected with our own church, and also in the colored school, all of whom are adult females, some much older than myself. They are much attached to me, which materially assists me in teaching, but my object is not to draw them to myself, but to the Saviour. . ^ . , September 1. — I commenced the school July 30, with 105 girlsj have since increased the nimiber to 130, and am now obliged to refuse taking more. The average attendance the laso fortnight has been 110. The colored seem on very good terms with the white. My school is in ^^ood working opder. Mr. Dillon gives three Scripture lessons, and' Mr. Hurst three secular, to my senior division, in the week, so that I think we are now in a position to compete with the established schools, although they employ a much larger number of teachers. The people generally seem to prefer our school. We have a con- siderable number of Eoman Catholics, and it is with singular emotion that I put the Bible into tbeu- hands ; surely they will not read its sacred pages, and hsten f o itfi Divine truth in vain. I think this must be one of the most m ^resting mi *sions which your Society has, — doubly interesting from the variety jvrhich it affords. I think few schools exhibit a greatra- variety of race and character, upon all of Vhom the influence of our clean apartments is seen, and they afford a pleasing contrast, to the children of the other schools. God grant that the religious influence brought to bear upon them may make a still greater contrast. One poor child who was with us a week ago, is now laid at death's door. I have seen her once, but she was unable to talk. I have suice heard that she has typhus fever, and is insensible. This circumstance has led: me to search ray own heart to see whether her blood shall be required at* my hand ; truly the teacher's office is not one of small importance, and I daily feel ----Ltv trvt-'i*,- — •-' tllO HGOU. wi. jL-'i-Ti Jemima Williams. ^6 SUBSCRIPTIONS AND DONATIONS. 5 lieliforDBTjive.
