My clergy irill, therefore, be pleased to assemble in the Church of the Holy Trinity, in their full robes, on that day. The service to commence at 11, a. m. It has been suggested, and even pressed upon me, by many of the most pious and respectable members of our communion, both lay and clerical, that the Church, now so numerous in Canada Wesfij ought to express her-'Opinion, as a body, oh the posture of her secular, affairs, when ten attempt is ftgain/makmg by her enemies to despoil her of the smdl remainder of her property, .which has been set aplurt, and devotea to sacred purposes during sixty years ; and that it is not only her duty to protest against such a manifest breach of pupUc faith, but to take such steps as may seem just and reasoiiable to avert the same. Having taken this suggestion mto serious consideration, and believing it not only founded in wisdom, but, in the present crisis of the temporalities of the Church, absolutely necessary, I hereby request everyiplergyman of my Diocese to invite the members of his mission or congregation, being regular communicants, to select one or two of their number, to accompany him to the Visitation,. _ • '■ ^7 *»»• Sry exi>enses incurred ^7 ^^''7^^^^!
