The missions of the Church of England in the present Briri-sh ^'orih American Provinces were set on foot and supported principally by the agency of the Society for Propagating the Gosjiel in Foreign Parta. This Society, originating in the pious efforts of Dr. Bray, whs incorporated by Royal Charter from William HI., in 1701, with the avowed object of providing for the maintenance of ministers of the Church in the different ■' Colonies, Plantaiiona and Factories" of Great Uriiain, by means of gifts and contributions to be obtained in Eng- land. -r-^ 8 l! The following particulars, gathered from the pnh" }ished proceedings* of ibi^ Society, will suffi.'e «» in tracing the fjTogresa of Church missions in these Provinces from iherr commencenrient in the I8ih ct^^nury to the establishment of the first Colonial Bishopric!*- The spiritual de8tituti(m of ihft settlers in NewfonnulMnc? was among |he earJfest '>l)jecis of the Society's polknudi!. We find the following reirnrks in thwir first re[)ori, pub- lished in l704. " Nevvfoundinnd has srveraf sjertfemente of Engri.xb , nith many occasional inhrtbiiants as worker?*, tnariners, but no public exercise of religion except af St. John'i»., where there is a congreg.ition, but unubl« to bUSU4>n a minister. In May, I'703, the Rev. Mr. Jacjkson, the.'i reait^rig at St.John'^.wijo had been preyio'Kiffned him for a period of three year?;. In 1705 a memorial was presented to the socit:y by several merchants trading to Newfoundland, firayrn,/: thnt two Missionaries might be gent to St. John^s, and enj; lining that the people of the country sihouKJ contribute to *{»»«* support. The Rev. Jacob Rice was !se:it ojt abouf. thl^ titne, by the Bishop of London, whether in accordaoc* with this request or not, \a uncertain. Again, in 172&, we find the inhabiJmt* of Trinity Bay, in Newfoundland, petitioning for a miss/oniiry to be t-fji^^ Hjnong them, and a^ the same titne ottering to contrihuii^ lowards bis support, and to build a church. The 8K>ciery sent tuem the Rev. Robert Killputrick, with a salary of £30 per annum. After remaining there for a short liif!. he removed to New York. About the year l7ii6 he re- turned to Trinity Bay, where he was welcotned by a nurne' * Havskin^' Missiona ofthe Church— Ueporis S, 1'.

He represented tbe average nimber of hiscongre- gution at 250 in v^ummer, and thai at Old Perlican at 200. The Rev, Henry Jones was 8<^ltled at Bonavisla in I72i, nii({ received a gratuity of £30 from the society that year, which w.'iH afterwards coniinued lobim. In 1734 be re- {)re.-iented his congregation to be in aflourishinjr condition, atxl the numbef of b's coriitnunicafUs increasing. — Wiihin the period of eight yearsj he ()aptjsed 114 person}), five of whom were grown-up per6on«. Mr. Jones was* engaged for twenty-i'ive years in missionary labours at Newfoundland. Mb estahlisihed a school ot BonHviaia in I7i6, anil in 17S0 be had tiearly completed the ereciion of a church. Alter the death of iSlr. RiJipairick, he Oiiiciated at Trinity Bay unti^ the wppoiniment of the Rev. Mr. Lindsay to that mitsion in 1740. f he Rev, Mr. Peaseley, 4)1' Trinity College, Duhiiis was appointed resident niis- •^ionary at J*t. John'cj, about the year 1745. Mr. P. offici-'^'v aifMl to a crowded congregation at 8t. John's, and occasion- ally visited the out-barbours. He was removed to South Ctiroiina in 17 50. The Rev. E Iward Lingrnsn, of Baliol College, Oxford, was appointed fo succeed Mr. Peaseley asinissionary to St. Johirt? and the out-harbour.", at the request of tbe inhabi- ranu, atnoog whom he had been residing for some time previous • On taking pos-^es-'ion of his cure in 1762, Mr. Langman found the nufnber of communicants to be thirty. Of the two hundred families which composed the popula- tion of St. John, at this liirje, forty were of the communion of tbe Church of England, fifty-two Roman Cothoiics, and dght Dissenters.f In 1759, he visited Placentia Bay and baptised fifty persons, nearly all adults, lathe sum- mer of 1760, he again visii«d the ont-harbours, and by hi-i report it appeared that there were, in Reneuse, twenty-five •lle|»uri Ti, r. G. 1745. jReporl S. P G. 10 families, of wbom nine were Protestants, and the Irish Romanist population 140 souls. \u Fermeuse, nearly ihti whole population amouniingtolOO, were RomanCaihoiscK Ferryland, 64 Protestants and S6 Roman Catholics. Din- ing ihip visit he baptised 33 children. In 1761 be found « Bay of Bulls 45 fajnilies, of which 37 were RomanCathoiics About 1762, a church was erected at St. John's, under ih*- direction of Mr. Langman, which was, however, not lyjia- pleted until 1773. This indefatigable missionary continut- to discharge these laborious duties until his death, whic; took place in 178^. His allowance from the society wa^ but £50 per annum ; and be represented the little gratui ties he received from his flock os very inconsiderable, acu that " he had to go and beg from them as a pof>r itrnv. would for an alms." He appears to have lived on terms «' Christian fellowshio with bis neighbours of other denojui nations: several furnilieo of Dissenters attending on hi Mini&try, and receiving the holy communion from ir hand.* He was succeeded at St. John's !)y Rev. VV. Pric* In 17()8, the Rev. Laurence Coughlan> who for threi years previously had been residing among the inhabitaiiv of Harbour Grace and Carbonear, was appointed a luit- sionary of the Society, and preached in Irish, — his congff jgation frequently included many Irish Roman Cathofie> Th« natives attended his preaching very constantly, itf administered the sacrament once a month to from 150 to iCt communicants. The Rev. James Balfour was appointed missionary .i Trinity Bay with the out-harbors of Old and New Perlicai and Bonavista in 1765. " In acknowledgment of his eer* vices, his parishioners, soon after bis arrival, built him n house. But after nine years spent \n this mission, whic ^ was not less than forty leagues in circuit, he was remot eti to the more important station of Harbour Grace, vacin^ * Hawkiod'a Missiou. the li; nearly Cathoiio: cs.

Mr. Burner, a Swf s minister, who had en i(re»t paint* to co'nmend the church liturgy to his / 'opie, was about the same time ordained middionary to ■ e Gfrmans. In 1752, Civo hundred Protestants of the '." »nffi8*inn of Anj^sburg, r»*eftntly arrived at Halifax from ^!i)nt-belliar(l, joined ihcair^elves to the Churr^h of Eng- t 'od, and de^ired to partakw of the oacrament of the Lord*d jijier. They wt're placed under the charge of Mr. Mo- lu, who reported his eonf^re;»ation that year to consist of I "00 grown-up persotis urul 200 children. A supply of iiHMion-pravi'r book-i, in the French languajie, was ihid «r eent to Mr. Moreau from the Society for Propagating ri Gospel, and a number of French and Kngligh bibles, KM th»; Lords of Trade and riantafiond, for distribution iniu'T his flock.* After the removal of the Germans from Halifnx to Lun- hurir, in 1753, there were " but 15 families left in the rih Miburb-!. This HirniH congregation not knowing y Knylish, and wishing to have a place of worship, I, r >i(. theiwfeives a suiall house upon the German burial- ound in I3runsvvick-atreet, in whichj thny had prayers gulirly every Sunday." In the year l760, a eteeple :is buili on this house, and the next year the Rev. Dr. ' 50O Fiialish Iiibles were Mt could he erccfpd. At this titne there weie rnoro than 200 German and French regular commntiiconts. In a letter addressed l»y Mr. IMoretu to the coTespnndiiij; committee of the society at Halifax, in 1729— he says " after the fjreat mortality which hefel the fieople under my mission, from the years of 1752 to 1753, in which threc-fourlha died, the remainder, a small number, consisting of fil'ty-siK families of Lutheranp, CMlvini.-teritig in three langiiMi^es to his congre- gation,— and exten young Every French, 19 r^t 12, and in German at 3. At his request, a supply of ;>ruyer-hook9, in the German language, was sent out by the •society for the use of bis congregation. In a letter to the corresponding committee at HalifaX; dated Sept. 1 7G9,* bce to tb<'de diasentions, the committQ<) n March, 1770, earnestly recommended to tboir miMinnnrlea the "continuunce of the utmost f^mper and moderation under the proceedings both of itv, Calvanistii and l.iith'*r ans, and tbat no dccJaratiun or measure sbould b<; ar any time used to disturb or prevent them in the full ex»»reira o( their religiouH principles and mode of divine wors'iip." In 1773, Mr. DeluRoche prevailed on the people in his inisriion to build a school-bouse for (k« French, auu to uon- tribute to thesupport of the schoolmaster. Having turned his attention to the study of the German, he was m 177!. enabled to officiate in three diiTereat languages. At Easter this year, the number of his communicants were a« fotlowh Germane, 120— French, 50— English, SO.* He was a zealous bard-working clergyman, and iun !?it uatiun was rendered trying in the extreme by ibe many vexatious jealousies that existed in the congregotiuUc, under his care, arising from the difference of luugurtg>' and opinion. During the period of the American war^ hr was frequently reduced to great extremities by tkti scarcity of provisions, and the very small assistance he received! from the people. While resident at Lunenburg, he pub- lishcd (several excellent 8ermons,t and a commentary ou the • Report 1774. t The Qospel of Cbrltt prenchrd to ihe Poor, by Peter PeiaRnrht, miK •elonary.

On this occasion the Indians sung an anthem before and after service. Before the (ser- vice begun, a chief earns forward, and kneeling down pray ed for the i)rosperiiy of the Province, and the bles ;i«g of Almighty God on the King, the Royal Family, and ^he Governor. He then rose up, and Mr. Wood, at his desire, explained his prayer in English to the whole congregation When service was ended, the Indians returned thanks (uk the opportunity ihey had of hearing prayers in their c wu lauguage.

U does not appear, how- ever, that his zealous endeavors for the spiritual welfaro ofihe Acadian Indians, were properly supported. No niei ti/»n is to be found of the appointment of a missionary, Jtfttr'tiis decease, to Cirrry forward the work bo ably begun, ani the Indians in Nova Scotia at the cornmoncemsnt of rhe present century^ had entirely relapsed i.ito Romanisna. Mr. Wood remained permanently stationed at Annapolis and Granville till his death in 1779; He lived in peace and har.iiony with all denominations, the greatest part of the Dissenters in his missiotr attending on his ministry. In 1771 the inhabitants of these townships invited a missionary residing at Dedham, in Massachusetts, to come and settle among them. In their letter they stated that the most of them "bad been educated and brought up in the congrt'' Rational way of worship, and therefore should have cb;,FeQ to have a minister of that for2n of worship, but that ibt> Rev. Mr. Wood by his preaching, and performing the other oflices of bis holy function, occasionally amongst us) in the several districts of this country, had removed our former prejudices that we had against the form of worship of the church of England, as by law established, and bad won us to a good opinion thereof, inasmuch as be bad re- moved all our scruples of receiving the holy sacrament or the Lord's supper in that form of admmistering it, — at laast many of us are now communicants with him, and w« tryst and believe moro will soon be added.*" This ar- ' HtwMm* 362 1 ■ il ^ i I ; ii . I! U' i ME I ll I i k ^4' ranj^ement was not cnrried into effecf, and Mr. VVooif continued in charge of bolh parishes. The Rer. Joseph Bennett was the first mlaaionary ap- pointed to iho townships of Horton, Cornwallis, Falmouth and Newport. He went to reside at Fort Edward, now Windsor, in January, l765. At that time the population of the four townships did not exceeil 1717 souls. By letter dited Jan'y. 27, 1776, he acquainted the society that not- withstanding the arrival of a Disttenting minister at Corn- WttUis, a spirit of h( nevolence and harmony was kept up among the people o^all persuasions who assemble together for public worsh'p. In December, l7tii), he reported his iMission to be in a prosperous condition ; tho prejudices! of the Dissenters ngain£>^ tho Church, particularly in Windsor and Falmouth, were beginning! to wear off— that his hearers at the for^ner station had'doubled their nutnber within two years, and that at the former place most of the inhabitants frequented church, particularly the young ; in the same letter, favorable mention is made of Mr. Halliburton, the Society's pchoolmaster at Windsor, who had fourteen scholars under bis tuition. The number of communicants in the mission were 33. Again in 1772, Mr. B. reported the number of his communicants as fol- lows : Cornwallis, 12~Windsor, 20— Newport, 9— Fal- mouth, 7. Four-fifths of the inhabitants of Falmouth came constantly to church. Mr, Bennett was appointed itinerant missionary on the coast of Nova Scoiia in 1773 or 6, a situation established by the society on the death of Mr. Bryzelius, in lif^u of tho Ger.nan mission. This arrangement was made at the sug- gestion of Dr. Breynion, there being at the time several thousand inhabitants settled on the Atlantic coast of the loninsula, betwoen Cape Sable and Cape Breton, and om 25 .

At Tuiamagoucbe, on 'lb«i Gulf shore, he administered the Lord's supper lo ■3S cotr'nunicants. Mr. Bennett continued bis itinerant lahfturs for a number of years, exposing himself freque.^ily the n,03t distressing hardships, having to pass through the woods, and ford dangerous rivers, io order to arrive a£ fh«t>y cif his stations. Year after year, he penetrated ihe nuHierous harbours and bays of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, and those of the Gulf Shore, and on one occasiou h«rj the misfortune to lose his schooner, which was wreck- yd, ar\il became a total loss. In 1780, he visited agalti Tatainagouche and Pictou, and on his return lost his way, awd was detained a whole night in the woods.

At Falmouth, Mr. El- lis usually preached under a tree near the old ferry, or in the lavern^kitchen,and at Newport in a private ho^jse. His congregation con.prised persons of various dunominationt». He represented the people in Cornwallis to be well afftjctetf towards the Church, but not so in Horton, In 1776, he reported bis communicant!! within the townships included in his mis-iion at 90. Three years later, the inhabitants of Cornwallis expressed themselves desimus of having a resi- dent minister of theirown.

It consisted of Lord William Campbell, the Governor, the Hon. Jona- than Belcher, the Chief Justice, and the Hon. Richard' Bulkeley, the Secretary of the Province. The Board wa» « organiafed in 1769', in acfrord^ince with a letter addressed to* Mr. Belcher by Dr. B'lirton, the secretary of the society i- dated in April, 1769, in which the thanks of the society- were communicated to that gentleman and Mr. Bulkeley,. 'or their former cjicriions in behalf of the missionary •Mir,; and' they were requested to form themselves into a- comtiiiitee, and m?\ke such regulntrions and report such- matters as they shoubl think expedient, and a wich w.i* also expressed that the Governor should preside and as^ii^t It their meeting.'*, when bis aflF.iira would permit. A pledge was at the same time given to them,, by the society, that? " the utmost nttennon and every kind of resperi" w(iui, after which they usually held their rneeting.s quarter- ly. Tho manuscript journal of tho proceedii)j:9 of this committee, duritig the six years of their existoncti, exhibits care and attention to the inlerenttj of the church, and a par- Hcular desire on the purt of its members for the prtserva- tion of harmony and feHoW{*hip witti the several denomin- ations of Chrisiiaus ihrouiihoul the Province. * An annual meeting of the cler«y usually took place at Halifax during the vvetik after the first Sunday after Trin- ity, to report on the state of their missions, and a sertuon was preached at St. Paul's on the occasion. At their an" nual meeting in June, 1770, the committee anrj clergy, with the dissenting minis^ters, and his Mjijt'sty's Council, and tihe House of As.sembly, ad attended at church, and heard nn excellent sermon from Dr. Breynton, whi^jll gave tinusual satisfaction.! The number of tho clergy of the Church of EnjrIanU within the Acadiui Province?, between the years 17S9 and tldS, did not exceed 12.

He arrived at St. John in the autumti o^ 1785, where ha was gladly received by the people, who had ftbout eight months before purchased a house 36 feet by 23, for a church, but had been unable to render it com- fortable for divine worship. Mr. Cook called a vestry- meeting, and the sum of £t>0 was collected in three day* whioh enabled them to pilaster the interior, and erect a gallery. He was removed to Fredericton, formerly St Anns, in August following, and his place snpplied by Mr Bisset. The Sunday following his arrivnl at Fredericton, he preached to a congregation of about 70 persotis, in thf; King'» provision store,, the windows of which were after- wards glazed, and a reading desk placed there, and pews erected, for the onvenience of the congregation. In October they proceeiled to organize their parish by the appointment of churchwardcDs, special vestries, and other {larish officers, and on Christmas day following, the Lord'd supper was administered to 14 comtnunicanta. ♦ At the request of the Governor, Mr. Cook undertook, in the month of November of that year, lo visit Passania- quoddy Bay, ami the town of St. Andrews, then recently laid out, and consisting of 200 bouses. He also paid a visit to Campot)ello, Digedeguash, and the surrounding settlements, baptised 78 children and adults, and made ar- rangements for the est rolishmeni of a resident missionary* From the conversations be held with the leading inb.ibi- t!»nt8, he expressed himself in a letter to the Society per- suaded that a Church of England missionary would be very acceptable in the place, though many of the settlers Report S, P. G» III I !'l »u 41 were of the Kirk of ScotlnnJ, • Mr. Cook remainrd sta- *ioneiI at Fredericton until 1795, when his valuable life wMs brought to a^'idtlen lermiiiHtion by the ujisetiin)? of his canoe in atlcmpling to cross the river near the town. A grant was made by Parliament al)out the year 1797 of £2000, for the purjiose of building churches in the }Vovince of New Brunaviick. In Nova Scotia, tho number of missionaries were in- ■reased by the addition of Mr. Bernard Houseal to thu (•erman Mirision at Halifax in 17^5. Mr. Shreve lately onlainei! by the Bishop of EjOndon to the Parish of Pars- borough, anil Mr. Money to Lunenburg in I7S7. About 1791, Dr. Mather Bylea was appointed tn S^^int John, and Mi". Oliver Arnold was oflioiuting at Sussex VhIc, Mr. Frs^derick DiMee at Woodj>took, and in 1793, Mr. George Pidireon at Belle Isle. Thi?* gentleman was afterwards re- moved to Fredoricton, on the death of Mr. Cnok, in 1795. The first act of Bi.shop inglis on arriving at his see, was to obtain means for the rstablii'hfnent of a feminiiry of leijrninj; in connection with the Eiiiscopate. Tho dpfiyn of establishing a public grammar school at Halifax, bad I'oon in contemplation as early as 1769, and tho Rev. Mr. Smiih, Provost of the College al Philadelphia, -f applied to for procurintr a person properly quplitied to take charge of eoch a .school. The commirtee at Ila'ifax, in correspon- dence with tho Society for Propagating the Gospel, al their rneeiing held in October of that year, determined on snb- rr.itting the subject to the eonjiideraiion of the parent sociery, and on the l7th of October, 1770. resolved on recommending that the allowance to pchoolmattets, throughout the Province, should be withdrawn, and srrij)ti'in»', from the principal inhahiiants of ihe Pro- ving", as to become aa ample support for a gmilleman oj leaniiMj^ and refpectahility to engnge in ihe irust, "ihai i I corisiderHiion of the examples to ynuih >:\ ihe capita! from a mixture of troops amJ imvy, they were further (»f opinion that a Serniiiary cr Collpgiate Sohool t^bould he more safely ami us^-felly estal»lii/ Ak'iiioiHiiJa tiiitilished ai Uiililu.v m leUG. 4a astablisbment of a public school in a central s'nuatioD, that {in exemplary clergyman of the Kstablished Church should be placed at the head of the school, that a ProfeSHor of Mathemulictf be provided, and that ihe Bishop of Nova Scotia be requested to procure these officers." The pro- priety of establishing a College was also suggested, upon which the " members were recommended to consult their Constituents, that they might come prepared at the next session, to give the fullest information on the subject." Accordingly, ih*- following year an act of the Legislature was passed I'V which £400 sterling wai3 granted, for ever, towards the support of a College at Windsor, and also constituting the Governor of the Province, the Chief Jus- ice, the Secretary, the Speaker of the Assembly, the Ati'y. and Solicitor General for the time being. Governors of tbo College, with corporate powers to bold lands and make statutes for its gov^ernmen:, and to appoint Presidents, 'Professors, and other officers, (thePresident always to be a clergyinan of the Church of England.) The euro of £500 was at the same ♦^ime granted to purchase a proper situa- tion for the College, and the Governors empowered to em- ploy temporary Professors for the immediate education of youth, until a sufficient building should be erected, and a. charter obtained from the Sovereign, to authorize the open- ing of the College in due form. * Tlie whole proceedings of the Provincial Legislature relative to th^ College, are evidently characterized by a dispOBiuon not nnfii-^ndly to the Established Church, and the Dissjnters in the Assembly fretly united with the Churchmen In making the provision desired by the friends of the institution Through the earnest solicitation of the r- 'l8t vol.

This year, a further Grant of £10' per annum wan made by Parliament to the Collefte, with promise frofli Government of further assistance, if ti undertaking liihould flourish and require additional suppoi In the Iatt*^r part of tho year 1800, the son t . the Bishop, proceeded to England, being intrusted i- ihe Governors with contributions to the amount of £25' for the purchase of Books as a foundation for a Librar for the Colb'go. Through the exerirons of the Archbishor of Canterbury, and tho Bishops of F^ondou and Rochester together with Mr. Wilberforce, and some others, (wb; withheld their contributions for some Utve, until clear! satisfied of the rsal connection of the Coilege with th Church,) a large addition to the books was obtained — wi'r contributions to the atnountof £400 for the same purfxiH^ Such was the foundation of the Library of King's Coi lege,, which by subsequent purchases, and donations fron the University of Oxford, etc., is now, perbajis, the large collection of hooks in the Province.]: The statutes of this ir'stitution were formed in the ye;. 1803, ^yhe^ the obnoxious one of co-r^jieiling all aludent * Memoranda pabliahrd \>y the Bishnp of Nova Scotia. < The present Dbhop of Nova Scotis*.

Three years afterwards, through the intervention of the iiishop, these statutes were annulled, and a new code cb- tut»lisbed; which, while (hey htrengthened the union be- tween theColleg«i and the Church, abolished the obnoxious rule which virtually excluded Dijjsenters from the privilepo of Graduates.* These Revised Statutes were never \)u\r 'isheiJ, and the public were nii&led for many years, by the oircuiation of prinied copies of the first set of statutes.

The rapid growth of the Eastern rowu*>bi[»s, and the progress of colonization in Upper Ca- .laJa, had so increased the population that the damund for Clergymen for many years far exceeded the means at the comtnand of the Bishop to answer them. Societies bad been formed, bowpver, in both Provinces, and funds rais^ed for the bui'ling of Churches. In 1826, the fnnds at ihe disposal of the Upper Canada Society .imounled to £2200, uni] the various sums placed at the disposal of the Bi»bc«p by the Society for Propag:iting the Gospel to £1316, I'ho death of Bishop Mountain look place in 1325, and the same >ear the Hon.

At the first visitation on tbo following ■ «Hr, the number had increased to 90, and ngain in 1842 to "02, including two missionaries from the New England Jompany. Within the space of two year-, the Bishop of Toronto Made four visitations, tlurin;^ which be was absent two ears 'ind three months from his home. He is reported to ave iraFelled durin^j this period about 10,000 miles over id roads, and in canoeei, when he was obliged to cross the teat lakes to visit the oottlementH and tribes of Indian-s on ' tke Huron. Hi had to travel through the wiUiprnesa to Mch remote and distant settlements, where scattered con- e^fations were collected, with their children, for baptism : id confirmation, and other spiritual a^sij-tance. He had .requenily to sleep out in the log-hut of the eetiler, in the voods, sometimes travelling on horseback, and sometimes 1 foot, or in the common lumber-waggons of the country, abject to all the privations incident to wilderness settle- lents.* In the spring of 1842, the visitation extended to lie Niagara and Home districts, and tbo> .ni-sim, is the oldest but one in the Province, haviuji in en buik about the year 1784, when the Society sent them Dr. John, Stuart,* from Fort Hunter, in New YorU, as their rlli^ HJonary.

By the lust census, the members of the Church in Cttnatlfi West are returned at 128,897, out of u population of &00,000. The Bishop, however, states from bis own ob- servation, that the Church people comprehend nearer one- third than onn-fourth of the whole population. In such a country, where the papulation is thinly scattered over a Vast extent of territory, separated at intervals by dense forests, lakes, and rapid rivers, the difficulty of regular administration of the ordinances of religion is seriously felt. Though the number of working c'^ergy has nearly doubled itseU since 1839, being now upwards of 130, yet thit number is miserably inadequate to the wants of the diocese, and notwithstanding all the exertions of the Bishop, and his Clergy, aided by the Society for Propaga- tion of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and supported by the hand>/ome contributions of the people of Upper Canada, the most mel^inrholy religious destitution prevails. It is obvious from the various representations on the subject, that rbe spiritual wants of the rapidly increasing Protestant population of Canada Wcsst, are not met by the efforts of the National Church., nor are the active exertions of ibe ,; clean "nrrii Jvunce, it e inrJiHns. children ; Jull.^, 6 he Alion, anri ion of ihn laiJa, and 3fia, con- ergymen, which he • n Canaii I iation of own ob- arer one- In such H d over a jy dense regular seriously s nearly 130, yet 8 of the I of the 'ropaga- d by the anada, It is subjectj otesiant forts of of I be III sftveral Dissenting Churches capable of supplying ihft deficiency.

In 1315,* no Protestant place of wor- «hip was to be found over the whole extent of the Hudson^s Bay territory, and it was not until IB20 that any perma- nent religious estublisbment was eflocted in this part of British America. About that time, the Rev. John West was appointed chaplain to the company at Red River set- tlement, situate under the 50ih degree of north latitude, distant about 2000 milrs from Quebec. Thi!< is one of the priacipal ataCions of the company. Tho gettleinent was originally planted by Lord Selkirk in ISll, and now giretchea for upwards of fifty miles alonu ihe banks of the Red and Assinihoine rivers, which flow into lakeVVinipeg.

The numlier in daily atlendanre at the day schioln, was 130, itul thw number of cotnrnunicants in the whole mission 131, seven or oight only beinjf Indians. "I believe," says ih« Rev. Mr. Cockran, in his corres- pondence with the Socif'ty in 1828, " that our little visitda Church approaches a^ near primitive sitnpliciiy as any other to be found in any part of tho world. Mo.'^t of tbem.r, are Bible Chri>tian8 : to the Word of God they go for information on every subject that concernj their souls.'* . The fiopulation of Red River settlements, in 1843, wai computed by M**. Sim})5on at 5000, consisting of Euro- peans, French Canadians, Indians, and Half-blood. The Protestant population at the time was less than the half. The progress of this ruission during the last nine years has been very rapid. It now consists of six stations, situ-^^ aied at considerable distances from each other, viz. :— !■ Grand River, Upper and Middle settlements, Indian set- tlements, Cumberland House, and Manitoba. There are 4 clergymen of tho Church of England, attached to this mission, 4 male teachers, 2 being native Indians, and 9 Bchools, with an average attendance of 595 scholars, 97 of whom are youths and adults, all under the superintend^*^) ance of the Church Missionary Society, and the ..umber of conainunicants at the several stations is 530. * Severol • a«port Church Missionary Society, 1847. 125 tins nd a four the day the was Indian luda edncalfd ni tbo misKiorj Rchooh have hern «onl to instruct their connlryitun in various parts of the Company'c* territory, to the C(ilutriltia river, and New Cal- iforniH, westward of *ho Rocky Monnlaio!*, and their la- hor:* havo hoen attendeii with considf'nihio cucceyd^* The Rev. Mr. Ilunicr, of Cuniherlarid StHtion, in hiri correnpondenco with the Chnrch Miseionnry Society in 1846, aay, "our Christian Inciians, with few exceptions, adorn their profession Uy a holy and coiii^iiitent life, regularly attend fhe public rnean^ of grane, where oppor- tunity oilers; and cultivate a spirit of piety nnd devotion in their families, by daily engaging in praise and prayer at iheir homes.'* ' ' At Rapid River, rvvenfy Indian families have lately embraced the Gofipel. and were anxiously waiting the arrival of the caiechint, who expected to reach the station in .July, 1S46. The spirit of inquiry does not appear to be confined to the Rnpid River Indians. Mr. Hunter, missionary at Cumberland station, wbh informed on good authority that at I.-ilo a-la-Crosse, and Fort Chippewayan, which latter place is 1000 miles beyond Cu(rd>erland House, the Indians were willing to receive any reli{?iou3 teacher who jnif^ht be sent to them, ntid that the Roman priests were availing themselves of the opportunity. Mr. Huntwr jiarticularly urgeg on the attention of the Church Mis-^ion- ary Society, the neneasity of establishing two n"w iftatioDgf, one at Isle a la Crosse, and one at Chippewayan, with at least one missionary and two catechists.

He brought out with him a large sum of money, towards ihe erection of n cathedral church in his diocese, which has heen considfrably increa«ifd by local and other contributions. Bishop Medlf»y has already visited almost »'very portion of bis diocese, rind held confirmations at Frpd^ricton, St. John, St. Ariilrew's, St, George'?, St. Stephen-, St. David's, C?ifn|)ol)ello, Grand Manan, Gage- Town, Mau^erville and Burton, Springfield, Norton, Kinuston, Wfstfield, ^c. and ordained iO or 12 Mission- ories. During the ye;ir 1945 he consecrated Churches in the parishes of Norton, Portland, Stanl»*y at>d Grand ISlanan ; and several new wliurchns are now in progress in diflernni parts of the diocese. From June to September, 1346, be was also engaged ia travelling through the new peltlenient*, where he has made prepaiations for the intro- duction of Missionaries.

This sta- tute vests the government off' e college in a council of 15, composed of certain ()Uhlic officers, ex officio, viz : — the Admininrator of the government, who is ajjpoinied visi- tor, the Chief Justice as Ch^»icel!or, the Attorney General, the Master of the Rolls, the Secretary o!* the P'ovince, ihe President of the college, the Speaker of the As-emhfy, nm\ nine other persons to he apfiointed hy the visitor, nil 4ve imbibed so much of the American principle on reii- f/ioti3 liberty, that to bring forward th^ lopics of eccU^sias- ncal authority and government, can ha'-illy produce my (Jtfect than to create an iiisurmountubJe prejudice against our ministry. But if we waive such points us these and proceed in the aciuai work of the ministry, shewing an * farnest desire for their spiritual good, and if possible greater diligence and affection than other teachers, they i>econ»e without any fortnal reasoning on the subject ut- fached tj lis us their best friend?," Again, in his letter «D the Society dated, March, 1S34, then engaged as travel- .mg missionary inNcvv Brunswick, hesays:— — *' Having found the peopl»3 tiividod into several sects, al- hough no regular ministers of any denotnitmiion were set- led among them, \ have judged it my most advisable course not to call forth theii* antijjiithies by dwelling on those rj)oints in which Calvinists and Armeniiing, Bapiisits and MetQodist:^, differ from each other, or from the tenets of our Established Church ; but, by exhibiting " the ful- w !' rjf ■ - 142 iiess of ibe Gospel," in h practical manner, to tnucl the ppi- ritual necessities of all, and, if jjossiblo, pro(!uce a general impression that, wlKitcver rr!ij»hc bo the case of oilier min- isters, that of the Church of Zngland is certiii.ly capable of eupjilying all which the sou! of rnan requires " for doc- trine, reproof, correction, ami indtruclion in rijjjhteonsness." With this view, while cautiously avoi(Jing the unfathoma- ble depths in which some have vainly sought the origin of tvil, I have aimed eo to a{)ply the holy and unchangcalilo law of fjlod to th*- conscience of my hearer:?, as to make every one sensible! of his own actual need of a Saviour from sin. Srunning scholastic contentions concerning justifica- tion, 1 have freely proclaimed the great and glorious truth, that " being justified by faith we have caco with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have receiv- ed the atonement." In the same manner, without entering into metaphysical discussion concerning regeneration and l{race, I have universally held forth the promise of the Ho- ly Spirit as the christian Co'nfo»'(er, the peculiar privilege oftbe new covenant, the guide and patron of the faithful un- der the dispensuion of the Gospel. And finally passing by the debateable groutid of the intrmsic merit of human actions, 1 have laboured, above all things, to lead on my flock lo the great practical end and purpose of all religion, incul- cating the evangelical lesson, that a '"^ sober, righteous, and godly life" is the natural effect and indispensable cri- terion of a saving faith; and that they only who thus "follow the Lamb," will eventually fitid themselves " re- deemed by his blood." Such, with occasional observations on the uniou which ought to subsist among the members of Christ's Church, and exhortations to cultivate that spirit of mutual forbearance, peace and charity, which. In God's good time, might restore its primitive glory and happiness, has bseii the snb'lance of my preaching ^ and, wii'' hum- ^ 143 ble gratiiudd, I am enabled to state that ibe infentJed effect ha.5 been in sonie measure perceptible. I am informed «b'it persons of difierent religions profes-sions have been be.ml to express the precise conviction which I was anxi- ou;' to create, I have seen men, widely of^posed on the cus- tomary subjects of controversy, meet within our National f^arictuary as if they had been of one communion. And I en.ertain a confident hope that, if the ministry of our Church could be thus maintained in the disrlict, the faithful and zoalons pastorrt who will, we may trust, in process of time, b(j settled in its different parts, would find the general mind prepared to receive them, and might, without much difii- cjilty, unite those in the bonds oj the visible church, whom on: and the self-same spirit had already united in '- ong h^ari and one soul." is$- 144 DIOCSwE OF raEBEIlICTON. ropuJation according to Censwi o/JSIO, 15t';.000. hers of the Church are snj.pottd to b?. mnv numvrons than ant^ othtr dencmmati'^n in ».'m?o Ih unHWlck.
