Of the sum drawn out during 1864) for the use of the Mission in the Colony a portion has been invested on the spot. RESULTS OP THE SPECIAL APPEAL. Considering the am'ount raised in 1863 and 1864, the results of the special appeal may be regarded as so far satisfactory that the Mission has been thereby saved from failure. The Bishop of Columbia during his extended labour in England, involving sermons and meetings 401 times, had constantly before him the question, " Is this mission, so well begun, now to fail from want of funds, or is it through God's blessing to go on and minister the Gospel of Salvation to the lost souls of men ?" A persuasion, that the latter alternative must only be entertained, urged him resolutely to persevere, though at the cost several times of suc- cumbing to ill health, until the help of many friends relieved the Mission from anxiety. He went back, however, with the conviction that, though he had succeeded in the object of his visit, the clergy must be reduced rather than increased in number. DIFFICULTY AND IMPORTANCE OF THE MISSION. The unsettled condition ^f the white population has made it impossible to obtain stated support for the clergy except in a few instances, while mission work amongst the heathen Indians must bg borne entirely from without. Yet it is greatly to be desired that so fine a portion of British North America should not be neglected in its best and highest interests, but well sown a2 w 4 EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP OP COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. in its early day with the precious seed of the Gospel, and that the foundation of Christ's Church should he soundly laid. Ere long this Western Province will be intimately connected with the intermediate and Atlantic colonies in one great British confederacy. Already is telegraphic communication established with the Atlantic. The first message through to New Westminster by the wire of 3,000 miles told British Columbians of the murder of President Lincoln. Greatly as such a deed must be reprobated, it did not fail to make each British colonist thankful for the order, security, peace, and contentment of the British Empire. Those, who know by experience of other lands how great is the contrast, cannot too often repeat the statement, that England owes largely the stability and freedom of the country to her sound Christianity and her Church. To reproduce the blessings she enjoys in an important pro- vince of the empire is a work worthy the support of the Christian and the patriot. Let us of the mother-land not refuse our offerings and our prayers to sustain the holy enterprise of the Bishop, clergy and faithful of the Church in British Columbia and Vancouver. EXTRACTS KROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. VOYAGE FROM SOUTHAMPTON TO VICTORIA. Jannary 17, 1865. — We -mailed from Southampton about two, several kind friends having come to bid us farewell. The splendid steam-ship Shannon was to be our home for a fortnight January 19, 20, 21. — Severe gale and heavy sea. The ocean waves mountains high. Most people sick. Sunday^ January 22. — Performed service. Could not have a second owing to the increasing gale. Ship obliged to slacken speed. Sunday, January 29 — Weather now warm. Thermometer 75*. A good attendance at both services. ^ Monday, January 30. — Entered the tropics. Our rate of speed about 300 miles a day. THE DANISH ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS, February 2. — We arrived ofiF St. Thomas over night, cr^d at daylight steamed into the hay.

The town has a Continental appear- ance, with red roofs and variously-painted walls, interspersed with green trees. |0n a nearer approach, an Oriental character mixed in with Danish neatness and taste. The Kev. Mr. Koanh came off for us ; we crossed the bay to the quay, the air being pleasant (although the sun was hot, it being half-past ten), through a breeze which kept all in motion. The population are chiefly African and coloured descen- dants of slaves, and our boatmen, with black faces and woolly heads, landed us amidst a crowd like themselves. We now passed up through a line of cocoa-nut palms, and other tropical verdure. Men in white linen, and women attired in gaudy colours, met ws, and eyed us with considerable curiosity. Now and then a member of the Saxon family, with more resolute brow and sun- burnt countenance, accosted our hospitable guide. THE REV. MR. ROAOH — HIS OHUBOH AND SCHOOL. Mr. Koach brought us to the parsonage, where we found his amiable wife and family. The youngest child I had baptized in 1859. "We had some refreshment, and then visited the church and school. The cljurch, where I held a confirmation in 1859, is a building capable of holding 800 people ; it is airy and suitable for the climate, and is built substantially of stone. The Christmas decorations had just been re- moved, the cinnamon-leaf being a chief ornament. Mr. lioach has been a faithful and successful clergyman, held in high estimation, and doing a good work. He has 700 communicants, and the church is too small for his congregation. Before the monthly communion he has a lecture in the school-room. We visited the school, in which were seventy children of various ages ; with one exception, they were all black and coloured. They sang pleasingly, and were quick to answer when I questioned them. 1 addressed them. The master, a coloured young man, seemed intelligent. He gets 48^. a year. THE GOVERNOR AND MRS. RHOTER. The Danish Governor is a Mr. Ehoter, a gentlemen of property in 8antaburg, a neighbouring island belonging to the same nationality. Mrs. Ehoter very kindly sent her carriage and pair of grey ponies to be at our service. Our first drive was to Government House, where we found Mrs. Rhoter in the midst of her letters, just received from Europe by our steamer. Mr. Rhoter was not at home. 81ie received us with much kindness and urbanity. She is highly intelligent and cultivated. She had been in the West Indies for twenty-hve years. Siie had come on her marriage, and had kept a few days since her silver wedding. For several years at a time, however, she had been in Europe, and her brother had been attached to the Embassy in London. She speaks English well, and has that cast of character, sincere and solid together, with feature and complexion which makes us feel the Danes to be of the same family with ourselves. Her feel- ing, however, was sore at this time against the English. She had lately returned from Europe, where she said 8he had much sorrow ; it 6 EXTRACTS FBOM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. was caused by the war with the Germans, in which she considered thd English as much unfriendly as the latter. She could not conceive how we could go to war for the Turks, and not come to the help of Danish Christians ; or how we could allow a Prussian fleet to get up into the Baltic. DANISH ESTIMATE OF PRINCE ALBERT EDWARD. Mrs. Bhoter had been in Denmark during the visit of the Prince and Princess. She had been for a few days foster-mother to the latter, and knew her intimately. The Prince, she said, pleased everybody. It had been thought he was heavy, judging from his portrait ; but all he said and did was done with so much tact, and grace, and kindness, that he far outshone his more brilliant brother-in-law, the Czarowitz, who was also at the Danish Court the same time. We passed an agreeable visit. Refreshment was brought in — ^grapes, wine, and beer. She expressed her great regret we could not stay longer, and wished we could have 3pent several days. Her carriage and horses were at our service at all hours. We departed, charmed with her kindness and intelligence. THE DRIVE, BOENBRT, AND VEGETATION. Mrs. Roach accompanied my wife and myself in Mrs. Rhoter's pretty carriage and greys. The way to Government House lay up an ascent along the side of the hill and ravine upon which St. Thomas, with its 12,000 population, is built. On either side was vegetation of the tropics in full luxuriance to our eyes, though this is the dry season ; as we ascended, views of charming beauty from time to time met the eye. Theve was the town, romantically arranged, looking bright and gay. ITie bay, with its shipping, lay before us in several views. The heights above our heads presented picturesque irregularity, interspersed here and there with a villa surrounded with its enclosure of palms, plantains, and Indian corn. We drove afterwards through the town along the road past the cemetery and the Moravian establishment. We were particularly pleased with the vegetation; the hedges were formed of various species of cactus, some of which were in blossom, and about which the humming bird was sporting in its livoly flight. Trees of the ebony, cocoa-nut, and silk cotton shaded the road. Oleanders, white and red, yellow trumpet flowers, floxes, acacias, and mimosas, shed rich lustre and fragrance on the scene. Besides these, we saw tamarinds, papa-fruit, oranges, limes, bananas, grapes, and sugar-canes. There was a delightful breeze. The carriage was shaded, and we certainly enjoyed the drive exceedingly. THE PEOPLE, RELIGION, LANGUAGE, AND CLIMATE. The population, some 12,000, are principally of African descent, though the Government is Danish ; yet a large proportion of the people are British subjects, and English is the universal language. There is an appearance o( prosperity in the place, and it is, I under- stand, well governed. Mrs. Rhoter regretted the Dimish language was not more spoken, =-A. »AL.

Her own clergyman (Danish Church) had proposed to have service always in English ; ho has it once every Sunday : but this relinquishment of the national language had been strictly resisted by the few Danish inhabitants. Besides the Danish established Church, there are many Eoman Catholics. The Anglican Church is next in number, then come Presbyterian, Dutch Keformed, and Moravian. A considerable number of Koman Catholics have come over to the Anglican Church since Mr. Eoach has been there. The climate is hot, but is not considered unhealthy. Mr. Eoach and his family have been w^elL Mrs. Ehoter speaks of having got rid of several ailments. The ou\y drawback to the residence she says is, that it is not fatherland, and her three children are away from her for their education ; this is a cross to her, and she sometimes wished she had twelve children, because out of so many she might have the happiness of some being with her. We met Mr. Ehoter before we left the quay. He is an excellent man, and a good and intelligent Governor ; the best they have had. He takes an interest in schools and all higher schemes for improvement. Mrs. Ehoter conies often to the Anglican Church, the services of which she prefers. At half-past three Mr. and Mrs. Eoach came c!^ with us to the ship, and at half-past five we were in the Solent, to which we had been transferred from the Shannon on our way to Jamaica and Colon, JACQUEMBL, SAN DOMINGO, OR HAYTI. Saturday, Fthmmry 4. — About three o'clock we reached Jacquemel, having coasted for some hourd along the island San Domingo, on which it is situated. The steamer lay off about two miles, while three boats with cargo and mails went to shore. For the fifty miles we had coasted along, the island presented no aspect of cultivation or human habita- tion, but only a high mountainous region, covered with forest and scrub. Captain Norman, Admiralty Agent, Colonel Nelson, and my wife and myself went ashore in the mail boat. On landing, some ragged soldiery demanded our passports, and we were allowed to pass between two wretched black soldiers, whose bayonets crossed our entrance, in tattered blue regimentals, with red epaulets and trim- mings, trousers of any sort, and remnants of shoe-leather tied to their feet. They were not set up, and held their muskets any how. This Avas a specimen of the black army of the Eepublic, once the Empire of Hayti. At present the Spaniards are contending for the recovery of this country, and expending blood and treasure for an hitherto fruitless enterprise. . The town of Jacquemel contains 6,000 inhabitants, all of negro origin. It was Saturday, and a good deal of life was exhibited in the display of shops, and in the market square. In the shops which, as in the East, were all open, was a varied assortment of the poorest kind of Manchester goods, together with crockery, and such articles as were suitable for the very poorest customer. ) The houses were mostly dilapidated, bearing traces of former pros- perity. TTio only exception to the poverty-stricken character of the 8 EXTBACTS FROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAU place was some substautial brick warehouses, in which was stowed a large quantity of coffee, an impoi'tant article of export. We saw one carriage, Paris-built. We visited the Church (Roman Catholic), which stands on a commanding spot in the Market Square; it is only completed in shell, the outer walls, but not the roof or in- ternal parts, being finished; the service was carried on in a large wooden building, dark and dingy, which occupies the whole interior of the shell of the future building. On the fa9ade in front are the words, " Deus Caritas est." It is said the works have for some time been stopped, and there is no likelihood of this building being ever completed. The Island of San Domingo or Hayti is nearly 400 miles in length, with an average of 100 in breadth. The highland tract of the interior is called the mountains of Cibao, the highest summit of which is about 8,000 feet above the sea. It is said exten- sive and beautiful plains are situated between the ranges, which are watered by fine rivers, with very fertile soil. There are dense forests of mahogany, iron, and log-wood. The population is between 600,000 and 700,000, mostly of negro origin. In the western part of the Island, Jacquemel, a corrupted dialect of French is spoken, while on the east' side, the dialect is Spanish. Since Hayti is become independent, its productions and exports have largely fallen off. It previously was held by the French and Spaniards jointly. It has been the constant scene of bloody revolution, and has partaken of the blight which, sooner or later, settles upon Eepubliuan countries, leading to loss and anarchy and every misery. Jacquemel presents a type of this unhappy consequence. We spent about threo- quartei-s of an hour on shore, and brought away many pine-apples and oranges, and a nosegay of oleanders ; we gathered also wild flowers of the flox kind. SERMON ON BOARD THE "SOLENT." Sunday, February 5. — We had changed our steamer at St. Thomas, at which point the inter-colonial boats connect with the Southampton steamers. We were now in the Solent, bound for Colon, and to day were to reach Jamaica. On my asking about service to-day, our captain said he was soriy, there was too much to do in the ship to allow of the men being mustered, they having to get ready to discharge cargo at Kingston. He however consented to my holding service lor the passengers and servants. There Avere also about forty of one of the West India Regiments. We had service on deck. There was a good attendance. The sermon was from St. Matt. ii. 1 — 11. and turned upon the duty of Christian Englishmen travelling far and wide, to spread by their consistent lives at least the influence of Christian civilization. JAMAICA — SCENERY — CLIMATE. Twenty- four hours from St. Domingo we reached Jamaica ; for some miles we coast f>d along the south side of the island, which presents an undulating an i elevated series of mountainous country, covered for the most part with a wild undergrowth, which has taken the place of highly-cultivated sugar-plantations ; here and there could be seen the ARKIVAL—POHT ROYAL BAY — BLUNDELL HOUSE. 9 spacious residence of a planter, surrounded by 'fields of sugar-caue ; high up in the mountains were also residences, perched in salubrious spots, reached by zig-zag roads ; occasionally a collection of houses, amounting to a town, were so placed. Nothing can exceed, I was told, the beauty and healthiness of these spots, some 1,500 feet and up- wards to 7,000 above the sea. The Bishop, the Governor, and other principal inhabitants live in those elevated spots, where the thermo- meter indicates no more than the summer of a temperate climate ; it is said, the cUmate of the lower country is nut now so unhealthy as it used to be for Europeans. CULTIVATION — LABOUR. Mr. Sawkins, the Government Surveyor of Jamaica, who was on board pointed out the extensive tracts that had gone out of cultivation of lat ) years. There was a difficulty in recovering these lands, because the owners neither used them themselvts, nor woulu allow others to do so, and Government could not deal with them, though they had become waste. One cause assigned for this state of things, is the independence of the negro and coloured population. Jt is said th» freed negro is idle. Doubtless there may be a reaction of indolence from a state of compulsory servitude j but there are very many indus- trious blacks. Mr. Sawkins spoke favourably of the blacks, as being in a transition state. He instanced a man who sometimes worked for him, who could obtain a sufficiency for his family, and who laid by one shilling a month for the Church, and threepence a week for education, without working for others continually. Another '^ase was a man who, having shown him a road, afterwards said, "Now I will show you a phorter road than this usual and public one," and he took him tl:irough a little farm of his own, where was raised considerably more than what he required for the support of his family ; this man had never worked for any one but himself. Then it is to be remembered that the wants of the people are few. The clothing they require is little or none; cocoa-nuts and bananas suffice for food. ARRIVAL — PORT ROYAL BAY — BLUNDELL HOUSE. We reached Pori Koyal Bav, seven miles from Kingston, as the sun went down. The Health Officer came off ; also, men-of-war's boats, for despatches and letters. The Aboukir, the Shannon., and the Rosario, lay in the bay, the flag of Commodore Cmcroft floated from the former. When the various matters usual at this point had been transacted, it was too dark to go up to Kingston ; the captain, however, persuaded the pilot to take us in, and lanterns being put up in certain parts to define the channel, we at length, about nine o'clock, steamed up to the wharf at Kingston. My wife and myself instantly proceeded on shore, passed through a crowd of women and men, waiting to coal the ship, and reached Blundell House, to which we had been reconj mended. This is kept by a respectable mulatto lady. Miss Louisa Grant. We were now comfortably arranged in a cool sitting-room, with bedroom adjoining, congratulating ourselves upon being on terra Jirma, and out of the noise and dust of coaling. 10 EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP 01 OLUMBIA'S JOUBNAL. II MRS. SBAOOLE. We found at thi-^ hotel the celebrated Mrs. Seacole, of Crimean fame. Kingston is lier native place, and Miss Grant is her sister. She had come out from England, intending to go to Bjitish Columbia, but had stopped by the way ; she is a person of about sixty. The book of her life and adventures was open on the table, edited by Mr. Eussell, the Correspondent of the Times, who in the preface speaks of the high estimation in which Mrs. Seacole was held, and of hor philanthropic and Christian labours for the sick, the wounded, and the hungry. A picture of the heroine is presented on the cover, with face and bonnet bespattered with blood, in the act of preparing a bandage on the battle- field. Mrs. Seacole is the daugh^-er of a Scotch soldier ; her mother held a similar establishment to this, and was famous as a doctress. Mrs. Seacole herself became initiated early in the mysteries of Creole medical art. Before going to the Crimea, she had travelled in the Central States of America, and assisted her brother on the Isthmus of Panama, during the first rush of Americans to California. Mrs. Sea- qplQ is an intelligent person, and on Monday came to greet us, dressed, in green silk, and decorated with the Turkish and other Crimean \ medals. KINGSTON — SHf "S. Monday, Fehruary 6. — My wife and I sallied forth into the town. There had fallen a shower of rain, which had just laid the dust, and made walking less disagreeable than usual in the dusty streets. There, is no paving or lighting in Kingston, the shops are good, well supplied and served. Saddlery, harness, and coloured prints and engravings in frames struck me as being in much demand. The houses generally had a dilapidated appearance. There are several churches ; the Church of England is in a considerable majority. The Eev. D. H. Campbell is the rector ; he called upon me. We visited the central school, where is a depot of the Society for Promoting Chri^ian Knowledge, and a place for the meeting of the clergy ; also, we went over the Museum of the Society of Arts, which was dilapidated and dirty, and little cared for or used. / WOOLMER's school, KIXGSTON — NEGRO EDUCATION. I was much gratified by a visit to the girls' and boys' department of Woolmer's Foundation School. Woolmer was a German, who lived 150 years ago, and left property now worth 1,500/. a year, for a school for free education. The Church of England Catechism is taught all children except Eonian Catholics. The Principal is the Eev. Mr. Grordon, a pure negro, a man of considerable intelligence. Under him are four other teachers, several of whom are white men, one a well educated English gentleman. The rooms are spacious and airy, and classes are held in the cool verandahs. We found about 300 boya assembled, almost entirely coloured, black and yellow. Two very intelligent youths, acting as pupil teachers, were pure negro. I ex- amined the first class, in which were twelve, of whom three were white, four black, the rest yellow ; the eldest, a mulatto, was fifteen ; the DECK FORWARD OF THE "SOLENT.' 11 youngest, a black, ten. They stood up to read. The book was Macaulay's "History of England." I selected for the subject, the con- duct of James 11. in the crisis which led to the trial of the seven bishopft. The reading was very good, certainly better than in a class of a middle school in England ;, there was an ease, right emphasis and intelligence very often wanting even in schools of the higher classes in England ; they were quick in parsing the words afterwards. I gave them some dictation, which was quickly and well done. Some of these boys do Greek and Latin. I had not time to examine them. THE girls' school. Near to that of the boys is the girls' school ; here were about 200 assembled. Being Monday, and there having been rain, the attendance was smaller than usual. I perceived by the register that even 300 sometimes attended ; so with the boys, often 700 are in attendance at the two schools, with 1,000 on the books. The girls did not answer so intelligently as the boys, nor was the reading equal in proportion to that of the latter; the first class, however, were clean, well-behaved, and well-dressed. I addressed them, and spoke of Missionary work in Africa and Columbia. The mistress seemed intelligent. There was a quietness and order, and healthiness of tone about the school, which spoke well for the teachers. The books used in these schools are those of the National Society in Ireland. Lennox's Grammar is used in the boys'. The Macaulay was published at Harper's, New York. No one could fail to be convinced, by the sight and examination of these schools, that the African race is quite capable of being advanced to the highest state of culture. White and black of the same age were mingled up without distinction of mental capacity. If any thing, I should say the white boy was behind the black, judging from their places in the class. Left Jamaica at twelve. Tuesday, February 7. — A breeze and lively sea — as usual in crossing this span of the Carribean Sea. Wednesday, February 8. — Met the Tyne, the return ship on this same line ; the weather hot, the thermometer ab-^ve 80". DECK FORWARD OP THE " SOLENT." A number of deck passengers covered the deck of the Solent ; these were mostly black and coloured people ; they had all sorts of light wares, baskets, mats, of native manufacture. Some of them eat con- tinually keepiLg guard near their possessions. As night drew on their mats were spread, and without covering, except their light linen attire, they stretched themselves to rest. At one time we had on board forty soldiers of a West Indian Eegiment. They were not in a state of high discipline. On one occasion, the serjeant in command appealed for help, and a strong black man, brandishing a knife, was secured in handcuffs and confined. I heard one man as we were nearing the wharf at Kingston say, in a discontented mutter, " If I can only get on sh. re, I'll take care they never see me again." Another cast him- self down and said, "Soldiery is no good," I asked why? Ho said, 12 EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. V: " Here am I at Jamaica, my native land ; I have been seven years away, and I am not allowed to stop here to see my mudder." He had been in the Honduras, and was now passing his home to some other station. At ten at night we arrived at Colon, and anchored ^n the bay till morning. COLON OR A8PINWALL. Thursday, February 9. — Colon is called by the name also of Aspin- wall, in honour of an American, a chief promoter of the Panama rail- way. Ten years ago this place was a swamp, hot and pestilential. The gigantic work of the Isthmus railway has raised a town on the spot. There are many buildings, and some warehouses of a substantial charac- ter J the chief part of the buildings is of wood ; the quays, sheds, and railway-warehouses, are spacious, and well adapted for their purposes. THE CHURCH AT COLON. Mr. Parker kindly conducted my wife and myself to see the now church. I had been delighted by beholding its progress in 18(53 : it is now completed. The edifice is of worked stone throughout ; the style is of the decorated Gothic ; all the windows are of painted glass ; the chancel is large, and adapted for Church of England worship of a well-defined character. It has cost, I was informed by Mr. Parker (superintendent of the railway). 10,000/., chiefly contributed by the JRailway Company. This Company determined to have the Church of England worship established. Prayer-books (American) were pro- vided on the seats ; the chancel furniture is at present the only thing unprovided. The consecration is to take place in May or June, by Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania. PANAMA RAILWAY. - At two o'clock precisely we started from Aspinwall in the railway- train. There was but one carriage, containing about sixty passengers ; there are no glass windows, but shutters only. We chose the shady side by which the blinds were raised, and we could get the air as well as the view. CONSTRUCTION COST. This wonderful work was five years under construction ; it was begun in 1849, and finished in 1855. The first thirteen miles was through a deep morass, covered with the densest jungle, reeking with malaria, and abounding with almost every species of wild beasts, noxious reptiles, and venomous insects. Further on, though some of the land was fair and beautiful, the greater part of the Hue was through a rugged country, along steep hill-sides, over wild chasms spanning turbulent rivers and furious mountain torrents, until the summit ridge was surmounted, when it descended abruptly to the shores of the Pacific. One great difficulty was the want of labourers ; Europeans failed — Chinese, after a while, developed a suicidal tendency, and daily numbers were found the victims of self-destruction. The work, eventually, was accomplished by Jamaica negroes. The entire cost, including whai^es at Aspinwall, up to 1859, was eight millions of dollars, or 1,600,000/. SCENERY — VEGETATION. 13 it was 80ENBBT — VEGETATION. The route of the Panama railway lay through the heart of a primeval forest of the utmost tropical luxuriance, interspersed with the wildest and most picturesque scenery, and along beautiful rivers. Perpetual summer reigns, but with a dry and wet season ; the latter from May to October, when the verdure is most brilliant, though in the dry season flowers are in abundance. We had the advantage of this dry season now, when from the evergreen palms hung clusters of ripe palm-nuts of the richest scarlet ; while passion-flowers of the richest crimson and purple convolvuli decorate the scene. The great variety of parasitic gi'owths excite attention everywhere. Almost every tree and shrub supports more or fewer of these treacherous leaches, from the form and size of a tuft of grass to some whose branches exceed in magnitude those of the largest trees. Some large trees have been killed by them, and then left mere shells. A curious variety, deposited by birds upon the highest trees, sends down long fibrous tendrils, without a single branching twig, to the earth, where it again takes root, when it increases to five or six inches in diameter ; the smaller ones are used as cordage. Trailing vines and blossoming creepers are on every side in great profusion. A principal bush is the mangrove, whose branches, shooting downwards, often enter the soil, take root, and, interlacing, form an impenetrable barrier. Some very fine trees, with white smooth bark, are the cedro, out of which the natives will hollow a canoe of fifteen to twenty tons. Its broad roots spread out like buttresses, and its trunk runs up without a branch a hundred feet, and then spreads out in a canopy of foliage, fifty feet in diameter. Here and there, native huts are seen, surrounded with patches of plantains, bananas, Indian corn, and sugar-cane. There is a great variety of palms, not less than twenty-one varieties, on the rail The palm-oil of commerce is very abundant, with its clusters of scarlet nuts ; the wine-palm, the sago-palm, the ivory-palm, the glove-palm, the cabbage-palm, from which are derived articles of food or of useful application. There are stations at every four miles, and a telegraph whose posts are of concrete. It was found wood did not answer, on account of the rapid decay. A small straight stick, of the necessary height, was placed in the ground, sun'ounded by a jointed wooden mould, wide at base, some way in the ground, tapering at top. This was filled with concrete, and has produced solid pillars, as hard as stone. There is but one rail ; two trains leave each terminus daily. The highest point on the road at the summit is not 300 feet above the seA. The inhabitants are Negro and Indian ; many of the latter being mixed with Spanish blood. Their huts are of bamboo, thatched with plantain- leaves ; their beds are hammocks. Sun-dried and fresh beef, pork, eggs, and fowls are plentiful ; bi;t their chief subsistence is the yam and plantain. The distance across is forty-eight miles ; we tra- velled it in two hours and three-quarters, reaching Panama and the gentle ocean of the West, after a pleasant journey, at a quarter to five o'clock. p I 14 EXTRACTS PROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. PANAMA — A3PINWALL HOTEL — HOTEL OHARGES. We had telegraphed for beds at the Aspinwall Hotel, and found at the station an omnibus ready to convey our whole party to thei tovrn. The vehicle was good enough, but the mules and the road were alike in sorry condition. The bedrooms in the hotel were good, looking out upon verandahs, where a cool breath could be sometimes got in this fiery furnace. There was also a large and cool saloon for sitting in ; but the eating- rooms were close and dirty. No meals are sent up to the sitting-rooms ; it is customary for all to go down between certain hours and have the meals — from eight to eleven for breakfast, from three to six for dinner ; luncheon, ice, wine, &c., extra. We stayed four days, and for my party of seven, including omnibus and taking to and fro of luggage to the station, I had to pay $106 (21^.). We were all heartily glad to get away on shipboard once more. THE TOWN OP PANAMA — RAMPABTS — DRIVE Panama is an old Spanish town, situated in lat. 8° 56' N., long. 79° 31' W. ; has 10,000 inhabitants. Several beautiful islands are to the north-west, in the fine roadstead. The old town, six miles south- east, was destroyed, in 1661, by Sir Harry Morgan. The cathedral has a handsome facade, with two western towers j the style is Italian. There are several other churches, all more or less dilapidated. The east end of the cathedral has no window, but the usual figures ; it resembles very much the interior of a Chinese joss-house. Round the town are ramparts, which are strongly built ; these are altogether out of repair. We had a charming evening walk upon them, and looked upon the placid waters of the Pacific, beneath the cool shade of night, «,nd by the light of the moon. Friday, February/ 10. — Mr. Henderson, the British Consul, took my wife and myself to-day a delightful drive. No one stirs out till five o'clock ; dining generally iit four o'clock, and spending the evening in going out for drives, and in visiting. Mrs. Henderson accompanied her husband, and we went to the plains, about three or four miles out of the town, and drove upon the grassy slopes, amid park-like scenery and herds of cattle, which reminded one of the Alderney breed. Saturday/, Febiuaiy 11. — Our kind friend Mr. Henderson invited us to dine with him and his amiable wife to-day. We met several Americans, who were pleasant ; and, as next day was Sunday, we practised the hymns and psalms. The singing and music are con- ducted by Mrs. Henderson, Miss Goddard, and Mr. Corwine, — the two latter American. Mrs. Henderson afterwards charmed us with some exquisite singing, in which she greatly excels. JUSTICE IN PANAMA. Nothing can exceed the corrupt condition of the Government in the Eepublic of New Granada ; it is in the hands of the lowest of the people. The old Spanish stock have been gradually put aside, and thosp of Indian and Negro race have come into power. A case occurred this day in the courts which may serve for illustration. A boy had !fAL.

The three judges decided there was no evidence to show he had stolen the money j they therefore decreed the money found should be divided into four parts — one part should be given to the boy, and one to each of themselves. CHURCH OP ENGLAND MISSION AT PANAMA, Sunday, February 12. — ^The Rev. Mr. Sail has been sent here by the South American Missionary Society ; be has been kindly received both by the British and American residents. The English and Ame- rican Steam Companies and the Railway Company allow him several hundreds a year. He gives one service at Panama on Sundays ; one at Taboga, where the British Steamship South Pacific Company have works and a hundred men. There is an island, where Americans work, where he occasionally has service. At present he gives service on board the American ship-of-war St. Mary, at nine every Sunday — Taboga afterwards. He has a service on the railway one day in the week. He has been much disappointed with the coloured people, who professed much zeal at first, but who, many of them, turned out to be disreputable. Many, also, professed readiness to join the move- ment ; but when Sunday-trading was held inconsistent with their profession, immediately they drew back, and fell away. There are twelve communicants at present. The service is held in an upper room. I held service there to-day ; had the whole service in the morning, and preached in the evening. There were about forty people present in Liie morning, and about eighty in the evening. There are but few British subjects. It is pleasing to see our Church thus uniting difl'e- rent nationalities and colour. I had agreed with Mr. Sail to have only the Litany ; but an American lady. Miss Goddard, said she hoped they might have the longer service — she was sure many would prefer it. Others assented, and I had the longeB, notwithstanding the heat,, and was pleased to see so much love for our Liturgy. Miss Goddard played the harmonium. Mr. Sail will have here a difiicult work 5 but it is refreshing indeed to have a pure worship in the midst of corruption of morals and decay of a]?, '"ure principle and truth. TTie professed religion is Roman Catholic ; there is, however, entire toleration, The priests are immoral and neglectful. Amongst other noises that greeted us in the early hours was cock-crowing — every house has it cocks, clipped and tied. Cock-fighting is the universal amusement : they say the priests go from the mass to the cock-pits. Mr. Sail applied for a bmlding for service : he was ready to pay the required xctf:. The Government did not reply, but gave it up for a cock-pit. li THE GREAT FACT, " WESTWARD HO ! " — DEATH SCENE. .,T Monday, February 13. — Soon after eight o'clock this morning, the- telegraph announced the North AS'tor. steamer, from New York, in sight at Aspinwall (Colon). In an hour or two more, we learned the pas- sengers w^ould be over at half-past three o'clock, previously to which ■Il i 16 KXTRACTS PROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. we ourselves must be 6u board the tender, to be conveyed to the Pacific steamer, the Golden City. Mr. Henderson, the British Consiil, brought us in his carriage to the wharf. We embarked in the tender, itself capable of conveying 700 passengers. There were two decks, an upper and a lower, to which two gangways, allowing only of single file, led from the quay; for the first and second .^o the upper, and steerage passengers to the lower. The train at length arrived, and the stream began to pour down the wharf, and in at the two gangways. For three hundred years this stream has not ceased to flow from Europe to America — never stronger was the tide than now. Not only to America, but across to the Pacific, is the restless flow. Thousands each month pass over this isthmus. " Westward ho ! " is the ceaseless cry. On they come, with a hum and a buzzing and a din of voices, and eager pressing one before another to secure best places. Now they have reached the gangway, and begin, one by one, to come on board. Armed men, soldiers with bayonets, company officers with revolvers ready, stand about, keeping back the rough crowd, and guiding and helping ^hQ struggling and the weak. I stood and watched this great fact from the ship, over against the two streams ; for a great fact is this migration of our race. There was a motley crowd pouring down into the lower deck, and disappear- ing from view, as though lost in an abyss. There was a more limited and better-to-do looking assemblage coming on to the deck on which 1 was. There was the strong youth, full of health, dressed in his best, newly fitted out, carrying his leather bag and his box. There were young women, some pale and weary with heat and sea-sickness, others hearty and elated. There were families of peevish children, and parents anxious and jaded. The sullen and clouded brow told of some escape from justice or shame, and the keen and withered visage bespoke the gambler. Such a variety was there of dress — some new, some tattered and dirty ; and baggage — all carried as much as possible — bags gaping wide and ragged bundles ; now and then a German family with all their kitchen articles — indeed, all nations were represented. Then above poured on a somewhat different crowd. The successful merchant, who went out as a youth of twenty-one, has been "home," and returns with several friends. A gay bride steps flauntingly on board, and hums an air. The successful miner — a poor working man ten years ago, now the owner of considerable property — he too has been home, travelling first-class all the way, still rough looking, but with a good expression : he has been no loafer or drinker, but a careful man, and deserves all his industry has gained. There are cages of canaries, and other little treasured reminiscences of home. Some are laden with oranges and pine-apples, whose own native soil they for the first time tread on ; and some, struck with the tropical luxuriance, have some gorgeous flowers in hand. There are no old men or women, hardly a middle aged person to be seen. And now in the midst of all this stirring scene along the narrow gangway comes a litter, on which a sickly woman rests. The British Consul, who stood with me, thought it was a man : I saw by the feet to what sex the poor thing belonged. .:a ed to the sh Consul, ;he tender, swo decks, y of single ipper, and r down the years this er stronger the Pacific, is isthmus, ith a hum one hefore e gangway, ildiers with ut, keeping ing and the )ver against •ace.

The litter passed on, and the crowd still pressed after, and other sights of varied humanity were presented in succession. By and by I went to that part of the vessel where my wife and other ladies were sitting. I found them in some uneasiness. The litter had been placed near them, and the sight of the poor dying woman was most painful. As death hastened his work, the afSicted husband began to realize his trial : his cries and lamentations were now the attraction, — " oh dear partner, I cannot spai*e you yet," " oh do not go from me," " what friend have I in the world like thee ! " I of course went and sat with him, and exhorted him to trust in the love and wisdom of God. 1 was glad to hear him, in accordance with my suggestion, pray to God to receive the departing spirit, to cleanse it, and bless it for ever. He said also, " Oh, dear sir, I know there is nothing but the grace of God that can enable me to bear this trial." It was a comfort to know that this stranger was a Christian believer, and to hope that the loved partner of his life, now unconscious, had participated with him in a religious life — alas ! so often wanting in these outlying countries. He was a medical man, and knew well that death had taken her ; but as he closed her eyes and mouth, loud and piteous was his grief : " Who will now befriend me," he said, " and help me to lay this dear one out on yonder seat, where she may rest awhile ] " I assured him there were many friends ready to do all that was necessary. A consultation took place. The body was removed on shore, and again the excite- ment and bustle was renewed. Except on some hearts, an impression, we may hope, remained, that in the " midst of life we are in death." Three days before this lady had been at dinner — to-day in her grave. How little do any of us know how soon death may come ! Oh God, graciously touch our hearts with constant mindfulness of life's uncer- tainty : enable us to live as we would die, and fix us more and more upon the strong rock of our salvation, even upon Jesus, who died that we might live, and hath opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. STEAMER "golden city" — SEARCHING FOR FIREARMS. We reached the Golden City about five o'clock, and were soon located in our cabins. The utmost precaution is now taken by these Federal passenger ships to guard against surprise by Confederates. Every article of baggage was searched ; all firearms were taken away, and retained till the end of the voyage ; our baggage was excepted, but only by special favour. Eecently an attempt was made to take a smaller steamer plying to the Central States, and then with it to take these larger ones. The conspiracy was discovered and frustrated, but certainly justifies the present precaution. On the Golden City there is a guard of regular troops of the States. "golden city." SERVICE ON BOARD THE Sunday, February 19. — At eleven this morning I held service in the dining saloon for the first and second-class passengers. There were about 100 assembled, amongst whom, besides our own party, B T 18 EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. there were only three Englishmen. Amongst the Americans there ■were probably, as usual, very few Episcopalians. To use the English full service was therefore out of the question, so I found my cards for worship and bynms very useful. Selected from the liturgy, and pre- serving the parts of the service, they were a prayer-book for ail, showing the beauty and order and convenience of liturgical worship. There was very general use of them. The responses were audible, and the recitation of the Creed even was well made. Nobody knelt — ^they never do in America — but there was decorum in manner otherwise. I addressed them at the commencement^ explaining the objects of worship, and alluding to erroneous views on the subject. Being on American soil, amongst Americans, I could not introduce the English State prayers, but used the prayer for the President of the United States, out of the American Prayer-book. A Baptist lady helped me with the hymns, and after my sermon two other Americans, Baptists, came up and thanked me. Strange indeed is the medley of religion and opinions in this stream of mi- gration. The minister of God's Church must not neglect the oppor- tunity of doing some good. He may not be able to do it in the good old way of his "athers, but in missionary work we have often to meet the special i^mergency by special means. I always consider these occasions such special opportunities for doing good, to be met in a special way. AOAPULCO — MEXICO. At four <^ 0-day we steamed into the beautiful harbour of Acapulco. We stayed four hours and a half. I did not go on shore, because there was a promise of a second service, and I did not wish to appear to have given it up, besides not wishing to tire myself. We did not have the service, as the ship did not sail early enough, and until starting there was much excitement and noise. I was sorry, because the third-class passengers had no service the whole day. All the time we were in the harbour natives, in canoes hollowed out of a single tree, were trading round the ship. The scene was most animating, but, being Sunday, we abstained from taking part in it as tradera, although there were some articles we should have liked to have purchased as curiosities. THE COAST OF MEXICO. We liave coasted Mexico for several hundred miles, sometimes being within a mile of the shore. The country is generally mountainous — a lower range prevailing near the coast, while forty or fifty miles inland a region some 6,000 or 8,000 feet above the sea was the con- stant feature. The sides of the hills were for the most part covered with a low scrub. There were some bare sand-hills j also at times high rocky bluffs against which the white spray rose in lively play. I understand there are fertile valleys in the midst of the hills. Very slight traces of population were visible from the sea. There are no ports of any note, but several roadsteads near entrances of rivers, where vessels come. SUNDAY ON THE PAOIFIO — SERYICB FORWARD. 19 ms there e English cards for , and pre- , showing p.

The whole heavens were illumi- nated from one end to the other in the entire horizon — east and west, north and south. In the east, opposite the sunset, the sky of the horizon was richly coloured. In the foreground the mountain range was tinted with a deep plum-colour. As the fiun disappeared, the sky nearly to the zenith was brilliant orange, and the clouds were red. The spot where last the sun was beheld then appeared as a celestial city, bright and glowing with the intensest lustre. Soon the red of the clouds changed to purple, while blue of the purest turquoise cha- racterised tho vault of heaven. Presently brilliant orange in the horizon, with pale lUac above, coloured the scene, and after relighting up again and again the clouds around, the last appearance was the richest golden, fading into greenish blue above, wherein Venus now took her place as the queen-star of the night, brightening with a stream of light the dark placid bosom of the Pacific. SUNDAY ON THE PACIFIC — SERVICE FORWARD. Sunday, February 26. — ^At eleven this morning I held service. The attendance was not so numerous as last Sunday, partly owing to the swell and motion, and partly from the curiosity of some having ,, been already gratified. We had a missionary service, as last Sunday. In the afternoon I went to the fore part of the ship, to hold service amongst the steerage passengers. In 1859 the same captain had re- fused permission that I should do so, on account of the uncertain character of the mass of emigrants. The only preparation made for service was a form, with a flag of the stars and stripes over it for a sort of table for me. There were no seats or benches of any kind — the poor people were crowded like cattle, and left to settle themselves how they could. It was a strange and motley scene. There was a broad ladder down to the sleeping- berths, and another to the upper deck ; these were seized on at once, and some twenty or thirty hung about them. Many were lying down full length, others sitting in groups on the floor ; others were standing round. The audience consisted almost entirely of men in roughest attire. The greater part kept their caps or hats on. There were two parties of American soldiers amongst the best behaved. A service was evi- dently strange to many — hardly one seemed to have acquaintance with a liturgical service. I distributed litany cards, and explained worship and the part they were to take, but no responses were made — they were mere listeners. In the hymns there were more who joined, but the Old Hundredth only was known ; our common Evening Hymn tuno was not known. Though these 200 men were a strange-looking set, yet there was considerable attention throughout, and some appeared really interested. My subject was from John v. (Life and Death), and I trust, by God's blessing, some good was done. T think it is much to be lamented that the authorities of these b2 EXTRAOTS FROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. ships should treat this class of passengers with so little consideration. Not to mention the reverence and respect due to Divine worship, it would conduce to good order and discipline, if some care was taken in providing seats for a certain number ; if some of the officers of the ship v/ere present ; if unnecessary noise and business of the ship was restrained. I was mucli disturbed by the cinders being removed just at the time of service — a most noisy proceeding. There was a sheep wandering about, making a loud bleating, but no one was there who had authority to preserve order. Some of the audience were as much annoyed as I was, and indeed the whole thing was a painful reflection upon the careless inattention of the company to the comfort at least of a numerous class of passengers. SAN PBANOISOO ARRIVAL — PRESSED TO STAY. Monday^ February 27. — Got to San Francisco about ten. The Rev. Mr. Wyatt, chairman of the standing committee of the diocese of California, came with several clergy to meet me and to press me to remain some days. I had resolved to go on direct, for I had been already too long absent from my diocese. The Ai-chdeacon "Wright and Mr. Dundas were both awaiting my ai-rival previous to their own return, and the matter of the Bishopric division required prompt attention on the spot. Mr. Wyatt was very pressing, and stated arrangements had been made for my taking a tour of the country. "We found apartments had been secured at the " Lick House," an hotel of some importance, deriving its odd name from that of its proprietor, where all arrangements were comfortable and clean. "We had not been long in the hotel before visitors began to arrive. Several pleasant, kind people showed us attention. Called upon Mr. Booker, the British Consul. In the afternoon I walked about the city with my wife. Mr. Booker joined us. There are no fine buildings, and not a square — a great defect. For several years there have not been any considerable improvements. There are more houses, the spaces are more filled in, but, with the exception of three or four streets, there are plank side-walks and roads, with abundant irregularities and mud-holes, over and through which you jolt and flounder in no very pleasant way. We were struck with the jewellers' shops, which are in request ; the silk mercers had a great display also. Some excellent hardware struck us, which on inquiry we found came from Sheffield. The principal improvement was the erection of large hotels, such as the " Cosmopcrfitsm " and the " Occidental," which are really good, and such as in Europe are hardly excelled. •■'J- !« CONFIRMATION, SAN FRANCISCO. ' - ; Tuesday^ February 28.— At half-past ten o'clock the Rev. Mr. Wyatt came to convey me to Grace Cathedral, which is a fine structure and capable of holding a large congre^'ation. It was well fiUed. The clergy in surplices sat on either side in the choir, I sat on the north side. Mr. Clark and Mr. Wyatt dat on the south side within the rails. The service was the Morning Prayetv; the "Venite and Te Deum were chanted; at the end of the Psalms, "Gloria in Excelsis" was sung. VOYAGE TO PORTLAND. %1 There was a hymn after the Morning Prayer. I then preached a sermon on confirmation, after which a psalm was chanted. Mr. Wyatt read the Preface to the Confirmation. Tlie candidates were then invited to come forward j they had not been placed in any one part, but were dispersed. It was a striking sight to see them rising up from all parts of the congregation, mole and female, and advancing to the chancel. A large proportion were persons of some age ; there were but very few of the age of fifteen or sixteen. The proportion of sexes was good. There was more of the male sex, I think, than is seen often in England. I then addressed them, standing all, seventy-five in number, before the rails. I called for silent prayer for a space before the prayer for the Holy Ghost. The candidates then, came to the rails as they would to the Communion, not one at first, the other after, but as they were placed. I liked this ; there was a freedom which gave the idea of perfect independence and willingness in ofler- ii g themselves. Our plan of keeping the sexes apart and bringing them up in charge suits better with the very young than where a m^ority are of maturer years. I was informed many were persons who had not been brought up in the Anglican Communion. Some had been recently baptized. I addressed them afterwards. There was considerable feeling displayed by the candidates. Altogether I am thankful to feel the occasion was an impressive season, calculated to advance the cause of God and the salvation of men's souls. Several persons afterwards expressed their conviction that this was the case, and I trust too a kindly feeling was improved not only between the Churches, but between our nationalities. AMERICAN HOSPITALITY. On inquiring to-day for my bill at the hotel, including hire of several times for my party of seven, I was told there was nothing to pay. I found the Church Committee had so arranged that I should be franked for every expense during my stay. Three of the principal clergy and Mr. Booker kindly came to see us off. carriage SPIRITUALISM. On a board in San Francisco was painted, "Miss Clara Simons, Clairvoyante, Physician, and Test Medium." On a board at Portland was a name painted, after which was "Trance Speaking Medium." Bishop Scott spoke of the prevalence of this superstition, and instanced cases. He and Mr. Hyland agreed that Spiritualists were always infidels. VOYAGE TO PORTLAND — CROWD OP MINERS- ACCOMMODATION. -MISERY OP We left San Francisco at six o'clock, February 28th, in the Sierra Nevada, for Portland, Oregon, and Victoria. There was a great crowd of miners going to the Boisi and Kutanais mines. The steamer is calculated to hold about 250 passengers. We had 550, which with the crew made above 600 souls on board. Berths for a large number of course there were none. Every available standing space during the 22 EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP OV COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. I il' day was occupied : at night the scene was strange indeed. Being latu in application we had most inferior accommodation. Wu had hut two cabins with four berths between seven, the two little girls and our two female servants occupied one, my wife and myself the other. William had a mattress under the table of the dining saloon. The table itself was occupied from one end to the other by sleeping men, the seats also ; every six feet had a sleeper, and beneath the floor was similarly covered. This was iramedintely before the door of our cabin. Outside in a narrow passage iuiniedi;Li«ly under our window (a borrowed light) was a moss of human creatures by night and day, huddled together, filthy and offensive to the sight and smell. These were Chinese, of whom one would now and then rise up and present his dirty visage to darken away the little light we had. The poor steerage and second-class passengers were much worse off. On the open deck at night were rows of living forms wrapped up in blankets, without mattress or pillow or cover from the rain and snow. As an instance of suffering, a young man in the former steamer which we met, the Pacific, was frost-bitten, and left at Portland, crippled perhaps for life. We brought him on towards San Francisco again from Portland. AN AMERICAN HTBAMBOAT — TREATED AS CATTLE. But the wretchedness of the provision at night for the mass of human beings was nothing to the disagreeable trials of the day-time. Bad enough as the case was for an experienced traveller, it was simply distressing to a lady. The company had so arranged tlie fares that all who could scrape up the money came first class to avoid the actual suffering of the only other alternative. There is no second class, so we were surrounded on all sides by the gold-miner class. There are many worthy members of this body, but it is well-known that the most reckless, vicious, and unrestrained of mankind also belong to it, if not forming a large proportion. The crowd was so great that a seat was scrambled for the moment vacated. My wife and I constantly sat out in the cold, unable to gut seats within the saloon, and dreading also the close and confine^ atmosphere. But when out in the cold there were many around us ; almost every one chews tobacco, and is constantly freeing his mouth from the horrible saliva this operation creates. The whole floor, the carpet, matting, as well as the deck, was one continued scene of this filtliy custom. My wife constantly had to get up and go to her cabin, disgusted and sickened. Then oaths, low language, and disgusting talk were to be heard on all sides. Card-playing going on all day and in the evening. Then at meals there was a rush and a scramble for seats ; the food was constantly too ill-cooked to be touched, and for several days the water was of a ferruginous colour ; the attendance was bad and the servants rude. Added to all this, we had several days a head wind against us and much rolling and pitching, so that sea-sickness was prevalent. As the ship groaned and creaked in the night under the strain of the weather, it was indeed an awful reflection that 600 souls should be VISIT TO BPENCER HALL—BISIIOP SCOTT. 23 Being latu id but two 8 and our the other, oon.

The purser of the ship said that with such a crowd he prayed for foul weather, because sea-sickness kept them quiet. In these Ame- rican ships, the dollar is all that is thought of. In this case several hundred passengers were taken beyond the number consistent with safety and decency. Yet there is no redress, and it is a shame that tt British colony should have no other means than this of communi- cating with the civilized world, a means which if accurately known would certainly deter any person of education or refinement from venturing to come from England to the colony. Sunday^ March 5. — We reached l^ortland, 140 miles from the mouth of the Columbia river, about throe o'clock this morning. There was little sleep to be had. SUNDAY IN PORTLAND. We attended St. Stephen's Chapel, where Bishop Scott officiates. 1'he servipe should have been at half-past ten. It was a very rainy morning, and there was but a small congregation. After waiting some time, a layman, Judge Waite, rose up and announced there would be no service^ as the Bishop had not come and roust be ill. I at once offered to take the service. I read prayers and preached. In the evening we attended Trinity Church, where the Eev. E. E. Hyland requested me to. preach, which I did. VISIT TO BPBNCEB HALL — BISHOP SCOTT. Monday f March 6. — Snow at intervals during the day. The Rev. Mr. Hyland came about one o'clock to take my wife and myself to visit Bishop Scott, the Bishop of Oregon and Washington. We went in a comfortable hack carriage superior to our London cabs, drawn by a couple of capital horses. The road through the town was not bad merely, but almost hazardous, full of mud-holes and irregularities. We seemed at one time likely to be pitched out, and at another to be stuck fust in the muddy hollow, where the water came nearly into the carriage. The greatest care was required on the part of the driver. After leaving the shameful streets, as these muddy holes are called, of Portland, we came upon a fairly macadamised road running along the side of the Willamette, made by a company for recreation in the summer and autumn, six miles to a spot opposite Milwaukie, where Spencer Hall is situated. We passed through the forest, and saw the clearings of the farmer all along the way. We crossed to Milwaukie by a ferry, and found Bishop Scott at home. He opened the door himself. Bishop Scott is a tall man of some sixty-five winters, with an intelligent brow ; he is very much of the American in appearance and manner ; he is dressed somewhat in a rough farmer-like way ; he works hard for the house, chops wood, lights fires, superintends the provision for the family. He was once a Presbyterian minister, and came over to the Church on the question of orders. On other points of theology he is what would be called Evangelical. Spencer Hall, the residence of Bishop Scott, is also a school for girls brought up under his presi-. 24 EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA'S JOURNAL. dency. There are twenty, wlio pay sixty dollars (12^.) a quarter, washing not included. There is a mistress, a superior-looking lady, and Bishop Scott gives up two hours each morning. He has no family. Mrs. Scott is a pleasing person. Both Bishop Scott and his wife are Southerners, and are strongly in favour of the South. We spent an hour with the Bishop and returned, having had a pleasant drive. AN AMERICANISED ITAJIAN. The chief hotel in Portland is kept by Arigoni, an Italian. We should have had a room, but he was quite full. He said he learnt to speak English in London, and had a great respect for England. He was a Catholic, but supported all denominations ; he subscribed to tl^e Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, the Methodists, the Baptists, and the Jews ; he helped them all, and wished all to prosper. My wife and 1 had dinner to-day in the public dining-room of the hotel. As 1 passed the office I was prepared to pay. " Oh, no," said he, " you must pay nothing j you are quite welcome to all your meals, and to stay as long as you like. I am glad to see ministers of all denominations, and I charge them nothing at all." POLITICAL PREACHING. A Methodist minister made a speech a few days ago at a political meeting. It was touching Liicoln's re-election. " 1 was struck," said he, " very much by the appropriateness of the Lord's call to Abraham, Gen. xxii. 15:* The angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time ; ' so the Lord has twice called Abraham Lin- coln ! " This was received, of course, with great applause. t DONATION PARTIES AND SOCIABLES. In America there are many expedient?, for raising money to carry on the operations of the Church. "Hardly a week passes," said Mr. Hyland, " but he goes out to a Sociable." A member of the congre- gation invites others to a party. They talk and laugh, and amuse themselves, and have a supper ; after which a plate goes round for a collection for the Church. The clergyman is sometimes agreeably surprised by a donation party. Two ladies announced tlieir intention to have a cup of tea quietly one evening with the clergyman and his wife. The object of this was to keep the worthy pastor and his spouse at home. While the quiet little gossip of the small tea-quartette was going on, a knock at the door introduced another member of the congregation, followed by an- other and another, and along the roa<1. were seen coming a hundred lantern-lighted folk, and presently the whole house was full, and each individual was the bearer of a present. Sacks of flour, sides of bacon, pounds of tea and sugar, easy chairs, carpets, clothing ; indeed, all kinds of articles such as were deemed requisite for the comfort of the worthy pair in their new house. Mr. Hyland, on one occasion, had 300 dollars' (60Z.) worth of goods thus donated to him by his attentive people. ....,..., , I :vT ; >*■ 7 ADDRESS FROM VIC5T0RIA. 25 COLUMBIA BAR. March 8. — "We left Portland at eight. Grounded twice on the shoals of the Columbia, and remained fixed on one the whole night. Next day, March 9, crossed the dreaded bar. My wife and myself were on the hurricane deck. There was not a breaker upon the bar, which is about half a mile wide, with three and a half fathoms water. South-west is the worst wind. Captain Corner recently remained outside five days tossed in a tumultuous sea unable to cross. A ship was wrecked here a few days after. Ships entering pay higher insurance. ARRIVAL AT VICTORIA. ';> Friday, March 10. — ^We arrived at Esquimalt Harbour about ten, and were gladdened by the sight of British men-of-war. Friends were soon on board to greet us, and we were ere long on the road to Victoria, thankful for having been thus permitted by a merciful God to conclude our voyage in safety and in health. j-:.» >.v.

We would unite with you in heartily thanking our Heavenly Father for haying safely kept you during your lengthened visit to your native land, as well as during your voyage of return to the field of your labours. We earnestly trust that the important objev;ts which required your Lord- ship's visit to Eiiglaii'l, and your prolonged stay there, have been successfully accomplished. We are confident that you have spared neither thought nor labour for the attainment of this end, and that nothing but your sense of the necessity for aiding all in your power towards securing the present and permanent welfare of the Church of Christ in this distant part of the British Empire, has detained your Lordship so long from your diocese and your home. We rejoice in knowing that you have succeeded in carrying through the prc4iminary measures for the division of your diocese. We are aware that it was an object which your Lordship had much at heart, and we are per- suaded that its accomplishment will not only relieve you from a portion of your labours in a diocese so terrii^-ially extensive, but also, under the Divine blessing, further the work of the Gospel, both among the colonists and the native inhabitants of the land. " But while expressing our hopes and our congratulations respecting the results of your Lordship's efforts for the strengthening of the Church in those colonies, yet we would at the same time exi)res3 our conviction that if the benign influence and usefulness of that Church, 26 ADDRESSES TO THE BISHOP OF COLUMBIA. t- ' \\'\^ ,ih \U are to be extended and established amongst us, it can only be accom- plished by the hearty co-operation, in prayer, and labour, and ofiferings, of the members of the Church themselves, the clergy and laity of this diocese, " Praying that your Lordship may long be spared to exercise your apostolic office of our chief pastor, and that in addition to all other happiness, whether personal or domestic, the Lord may grant you the still greater happiness of seeing your work prospering to the honour and glory of God, and the spread of true religion and virtue in this land.

After graciously receiving the document, his Lordship replied to the following effect : — ,..',,; :'- " Mr. Archdeacon, Rev. Brethren, and Gentlemen, — For your cordial welcome and expressions of thankfulness for my health and safety, I heartily thank you. You well know how necessary it is for an infant Church, in a new colony, where population is unsettled and fluctuating, to have external aid for f> time. More particularly must we, being i'ree from all State connexion, and recipients of no grant from the ]mblic treasury, look awhile to the sympathies of the Church at home. " I am glad to tell you there are many hearts and hands in Christian England enlisted to aid in planting this branch of the Church of our fathers in this western British province. " You only do justice to those friends, to yourselves, and to me, by the expression of your conviction that the satisfactory establishment and extension of the Church can only be aqpomplished by the hearty co-operation, in prayer, and labour, and offerings, of the clergy and laity of the colonies themselves. " I should have entered with a very faint heart upon the arduous labour which has incessantly occupied me in England, were I not sup- ported by the certain knowledge, not of your good wishes only, but of the zeal and energy with which you were prepared to make sacrilice lor the work of God amongst you. " I am glad you approve of the steps which .have been taken towards a division of the diocese. The vast extent of tlie present diocese rendering it physically impossible to give that attention to all ADDRESS FROM NEW WESTMINSTER. 27 localities, which is most important in the early stage of planting and fostering the institutions of Christianity, besides other circumstances, has made it seem desirable that no time shall be lost in making the two important towns of Victoria and New Westminster respectively the seats of a full organization of the Church. I trust this division may shortly be effected, and look with interest to the increased life and work with which such a measure has hitherto been everywhere blessed. " Let me conclude by hoping for the continued co-operation of your pi-ayers that God will be graciously pleased to bless and guide all our plans and endeavours for the benefit of His Church and of the souls of men." . ■ ,•.;.,.;_.: -■, ';> •,;'. :-. •; ■■: . - ,,, r; i.-..,,,- ,>-.;-, ';, ADDRESS PROM NKW WESTMINSTER.

The Bishop replied as follows : — ** Mr. Archdeacon, Rev. Brethren, and Gentlemen, — I sincerely thank you for your kind congratulations and welcome on my return from England. " If I have gone through some labour there in behalf of this branch of the Church of our fathers, it is a satisfaction to know that you have approved and appreciated my eiforts. " In New Westminster has ever been exhibited much proof of per- sonal interest in the progress of our religion. Your city has beer a pattern for zeul, energy, and liberality. " But a brief season since your parish church was consecrated to the worship of Almighty God, stamliug then at the edge of the forest, on ■\ 28 NANAIMO AND COMOX INDIAN MISSION. a spot where for ages the giant trees had shut out the light of day. That forest has been driven back, and dwellings and gardens, streets and public edifices, occupy its place. " You have not only maintained your church and its ministrations, enlarged its accommodation, and fitly adorned it as the house of God, hut under your able and indefatigable rector, Mr. Sheepshanks, you have seen an earnest and increasing congregation, to which the light of the Gospel, we may believe, has not been manifested in vain. " I am rejoiced to find a second church nearly ready for consecra- tion, which I confidently expect will be a means of strength and blessing amongst you. " I cannot refrain from noticing the remarkable circumstance that New Westminster is about to be a centre of communication with the utmost ends of the world. The telegraph is on the point of being fixed here, with extensions southward to California, and probably South America ; eastward, by British America, to the Atlantic and Europe ; and westward, by the Pacific and Asia, to Eussia. Let it be our hope and endeavour that New Westminster may be also a centre of civilization, and from it be sent forth to other lands the message of the Gospel " One of my efforts in England has been to endeavour to effect a division of this vast diocese, by which would be secured the full organization of the Church in this city as a centre. I hope this object will be carried out ere long, in such a way as may tend to the glory of God, the good of the community, and the extension and efficiency of the Church of Christ. " Let me conclude by expressing my sincere wishes for your hap- piness and prosperity." u X >■; v!Ua' - ,. '-■ MISSION HOUSE AND CHAPEL BEE — COMOX. ;''■ •?'•'' At eight A.M. September 14, ten of the settlers assembled to put up the building. There were five men on the building, and three on the ground, and two inside. The logs went up well, and without a single murmur from one present. I was busily engaged all morning cooking and arranging house, collecting together plates, &c. for them, and at twelve o'clock they all sat down to a fried salmon, with onion sauce, and 34 MISSIONAUY VISIT OF REV. A. C. GARRETT. two largo voj»e table dishes full of potatoes. Thoy all went to work again after dinner, and finished all the building, with the exception of the two top log-s right round. At six o'clock they all came in again and had tea. After the meal I detained them for some fifteen minutes in a short address, in which I said I should not fail to let the Archdeacon and Mr. Good know the kind feeling and congeniality which prevailed amongst them, and which were so essential to a new settlement. They retired at half-past seven o'clock. AN OFFENDED HEAREa Last Sunday morning we had service in the house of one of the settlers. I am sorry to say he was not quite sober. The subject was my favourite one, viz. "Doing all we can." I was explaining that God regards the weakest of his followers as much as that of the strongest, and referred to Mary, who did all she could for the Saviour, and got His commendation — " She hath done what she could." Here , who had been an attentive listener, got up and went out. After service, he came back and said, I was too persouai, and he did not like his woman, Mary, to be praised before a crowd. REOKONINQ LOST. Our services on last Sunday were quite a success. There were only three in the whole settlement who did not attend once during the day. One of these was poor , who kept Sunday for Saturday, and did not find out his mistake till Monday evening, when he went down to Oliver's, as he thought, for service. Ml MISSIONARY VISIT OF REV. A. C. GARRETT TO THE : ;,,,., ^')r,y-!.^ Ja ': •' '^ ' -£.) GOLD FIELDS OF VAXCOUVER'S ISLAND. , ''* In the summer of 1 864 an exploring expedition was fitted out at the joint expense of the Government and private subscribers — the .Governor giving one dollar for every dollar raised by voluntary contribution. After some delays incident to the preliminary arrange- ments, the expedition started under the command of Dr. Brown. Time passed on, and the body of hardy men who had gone forth to climb the inhospitable mountains and penetrate the dense forests in search of hidden wealth, Avere beginning to be less thought of than when first they set out. The subscribers to the enterprise, myself among the number, felt an unmistakable uneasiness lest the whole scheme should prove abortive. The foes of our island home talked freely of her sterility and lack of resources ; her friends feared to praise her lest the trial now being made should contradict their words. Thus things looked sufficiently gloomy, when a despatch arrived from Dr. Brown announcing the discovery of gold in paying quantities on MINISTERIAL RE9P0N8IDILITY— THE ALEXANDHA—SOOKE. 35 a river named " Leech," after the surveyor of the party, and second in command, who was the fortunate discoverer of the gold-bearing character of the river. EXCITEMENT. It is altogether vain to attempt to describe the violence of the eflect produced in Victoria by this news. The corners of the streets are crowded with busy talkers, all discussing the probable value of the report. The wharves are thronged with bags of flour, picks, shovels, blankets, men, tins, kettles, frying-pans, prospecting-pans, cases of liquor, bacon, Indians, and what not. Steamers plough their eager way through the briny deep to Sooke laden with clerks, miners, shop- koejjors, doctors, jewellers. Chinamen, and all sorts. Adventurous spirits attempt the woods, and, regardless of bears and briers, strike for the supposed goal of all their earthly hopes by the compass with- out a chart. Life, bustle, activity, din, meet you at every quarter. But when one evening the steamer arrived from Sooke bearing the finder of the seventy-dollar nugget — an oblong lump of gold about as big as a small egg — then the excitement knew no bounds. The for- tunate possessor of the lucky lump was almost torn in pieces by the wild and ungoverned mob who crowded, crushed, jostled, and cried to endeavour to get a view both of the nugget and its owner. The city of Victoria speedily became almost deserted — it migrated to Sooke ! Three different town sites were laid out at Sooke, and " Lots for sale " quickly advertised ; prudent men, however, did not invest their money very largely in these articles. •• "^ IflNISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY. This sudden rush rendered it necessary that some clergyman should be deputed to follow these wanderers, and endeavour to remind them of the " true riches " in the midst of their eager and wild pursuit of those which perish. In the absence of the Bishop and Archdeacon, we held a sort of informal clerical synod, and, after due consultation, I resolved to try whether I could reach the mines and gain a hearing for my message. THE ALEXANDRA. Possessed of the necessary articles for a very indefinite journey, as I knew neither the country nor distance, facilities for food, or other par- ticulars, which will be allowed by most people to be of at least some importance, I embarked on board the Alexandra for Sooke. She is a powerful stern-wheel steamer of great speed. A mixed company of miners, excursionists, and adventurers were entertained by the pilbrts of a small band composed jirincipally of Germans, who, after the first three or four pieces, forgot their art, and allowed the excursionists to entertain themselves as best they could. ,..„■-■-> ■ SOOKE.

She backed off, however, and went to another place ; there she landed us in boats, not venturing near the wharf, on which a piece of a flour-sack fluttered for a flag I Launched in a canoe, we set off up the river, desiring to reach a house from which the trail was said to start. We grounded, but our bare-legged Indian shouting " shashaui," '' it's shallow," with muscular arm shoved us off, and soon landed us at our destination ; receiving half a dollar for his trouble (the distance was about half a mile), he meekly pointed to the partner of his sorrows, who, with averted countenance, sat in the bow of the canoe, and re- quired an extra quarter, as she had exhaled salmon odours during the whole of the voyage. I shook my head, however, and left hira to console the lady with native eloquence. THE COUNTRY. There is a small portion of good land on the south side of Sooke harbour, but the general character of the country is rugged and inhos- pitable. Steep rocky mountains climb up towards the sky, their base thickly covered with heavy pine, and the valleys between filled to repletion with pine and cedar, the latter predominating where there is most moisture. There is, I fear, but little land in that region avail* able for agriculture without a very heavy outlay. THE TRAIL. The trail I was to travel was simply the impression left by the excited crowd upon the wild face of nature. No axe had been laid upon a tree to mark it out from others. With that kind of instinct peculiar to adventurers in new countries, each succeeding traveller detected the footmark of his predecessor, and felt confident he was right. I pressed on, now up a steep mountain side, now down a pre- cipitous descent, now along the bed of the river, again climbing high on succeeding ledges of rock. The river looked like a thread of silver below, while, unable to turn back from the narrowness of my foot-hold, I feared to look down, and could not with.out the greatest difficulty and caution continue the ascent. The suamit gamed, presently all foot- marks cease, and the setting sun tells of the approach of night. My pack laid down marks the spot already reached, while with anxious gaze I traverse round as far as I dare venture, to try and discover some token by which to guide my progress. At length a broken branch rewards my diligence. Close examination reveals the sallal plant crushed by many feet, its berries gone, and unbarked surface exposed to view. My dog (faithful companion of my solitude) lias already found the track, and with wagging tail trots along to induce me to follow. My pack regained, with thankful spirit I set forward. Si THE CAMP. The slanting ray from the western sky has drawn out the shadows to their utmost limit j and, as I have now returned to the river, I am resolved to stop for the night. A fire is speedily lighted, a piece of DIVINK SERVICE— HOMEWARD-BOUND — ILLNESS. 37 lis sorrows. bread, a sandwich, and a cup of tea distilled in a tin pannikin for my repast. This done, I spread myself upon the sallal, nestled close up to the root of a gigantic pine ; my head pillowed upon a fallen log, I compose myself to sleep. I cannot but think of those at home, how little they know where I am or how situated I " The roseate hues of early dawn " arouse me from my verdant couch. A cup of Chinese infusion and a sandwich are speedily discussed, and I am off. Three hours' walking brought me to the gold commissioner's tent at Leech river. A rocky stream with little water, huge boulders, a bed- rock washed for the most part smooth, but with frequent crevices in which the precious metal is successfully sought, and banks encumbered with towering pines, giant cedars, and rugged overhanging mountains. Such is Leech river. It tells of a short and rapid course through a mountain region, abounding in slaty and quartz formations, of frequent freshets and tremendous water power at such times. That gold in abmidance will yet be discovered somewhere near, does not, I think, admit of reasonable doubt. DIVINE SERVICE. The news of my arrival quickly spread. After an hour's rest, I went up the river for about a mile and visited the various camps, inviting them to join mo in divine worship. I found none at work, all respectful, and many really glad of the opportunity afforded. I returned to the commissioner's tent. At eleven o'clock I took my stand under the double shade of a spreading cedar and a friendly maple, whose broad leaves, fanned by the j,"intlo breeze, added a pleasing accompaniment to our forest psalmody. The congregation assemble and take their seats ,upon the pebbly bank of the river, or the dusty turf or fallen logs, according as the taste of each dictates. I soon discovered no less than four of my Christ Church choir present. They lent their aid with a hearty good will, and the woods rang again to the unwonted sounds. I never preached to a more attentive audience. May the seed thus sown bring forth an abundant harvest. HOMEWARD-BOUND. (H After some anxious consultation as to the best way of returning home, I resolved to strike through the woods by compass for Victoria. Four adventurous spirits were found to accompany me, and at five o'clock on Monday morning we set out. A bottle of water, a sand- wich, and some bread and cheese for luncheon, was all we thought it necessary or prudent to carry, as any weight would have rendered it impossible for us to penetrate the thickets and overcome the difficulties of the journey. ,:',.,: ,.;.. * ILLNESS. /,:;. , ,,., ^ .;,_;,. , /, -,,.,'./:;t^ We had not travelled far when I was attacked with a violent illness. Many a time I was ready to lie down and say " Go on, I cannot travel farther ; " but then the thought of home and wife and little ones — what pangs of anguish tJiey would endure if the evil tidings reached them that I had been left behind in tlie forest unable to travel — roused me again to renewed effort. What I suffered for seven hours need not be 38 If' i! m. ! X ■ ■■■<: ::,! m MISSIONARY VISIT OF KEV. A. C. GARRETT. tearing through described — walking, climbing, stmnbling, falling, thickets, leaping logs, and dragging weary and enfeebled legs tlirough underbrush — all these things can be better imagined than explained, KINDNESS. One of my companions, an Irishman, shoiddered my pack and car- ried it till night. Were it not for this I must have left it behind. He was a noble fellow, and led the party well all the forenoon. About one o'clock I began to improve, and under the Divine blessing rapidly regained strength. I began now to brighten up, and to take more knowledge of our line of march. DIFFICULTY. Our course from Leech river was about north-east. We had nitherto been following an occasional blaze or axe-mark on the trees, which had been made by another party who had gone through. At three o'clock in the afternoon, having now been incessantly on the tramp for ten hours, all were getting pretty tired, when, on examining our bearings, I found that we were tmvelling due south instead of north-east, and that, therefore, we could never reach Victoria by that route. I held a council. Some were for going on after this imaginary blaze, which we could not trace any farther ; some were for lying down where we were ; and two out of the four readily agreed with rie, that we must imme- diately travel by compass only, and wheel tu the north-east without delay. After some little loss of time the minority gave in. I then took the head of the party, and, with an energy of nerve and limb which surprised s jme, 1 led them for two hours, when we came on the bed of a river, altogether dry, but exhibiting by its drift the comfort- ing evidence of a current flowing north-east. We again consulted, and agreed to follow the stream to its mouth. Off we started, over boulders, round, through under natural bridges of drift wood, down precipices, and through caverns, till at length we came to the foot of a steep conical hill. Two men with keen sight volunteered to ascend to the summit and survey the prospect. Ere long they returned — they had seen Victoria ! Our souls bounded, but it was from fifteen to five-and-twenty miles off; this damped our joy. On again, the lengthening shadows warned of comipg night, and diminished cheese told of short supplies. We pressed yet forward down the rugged bed of our friendly stream ; our wary but jaded feet often reminded us of the perilous character of our footing. At half-past' seven I found a stake driven into the bed of the river, squared and inscribed " Eureka." A shout burst uncontrolled from overy one as he reached the spot. We were close to Gold Stream, just twelve miles from Victoria. We pushed yet on, confident now of reaching home if once we could gain the Cowichen Road. •ii.i-if m ; is' ..' DISAPPOINTMENT. Night was rapidly closing round when we reached f*. gigantic bush- fire, which spread on all sides. There vas now so much water in the river that we were obliged to travel se the banks.

We must penetrate the burning mass and brave the smoke and dangers from falling trees and crackling underbrush. We summoned all our energy -and made a desperate onset. ]3egrimed with soot, half smothered, and literally bathed in sweat, we got safely through ; but alas ! we had crossed the road in out- hurry, and therefore wandered altogether at faidt in the fast-fading tv/ilight. After consultation we determined to regain the river, as that alone was safe from fire, and await the dawn. By a long detour vac stru jk the stream ; a dry por- tion of its bed served us for a couch, and a friendly drift-pile supplied us with fuel. After fifteen hours of incessant work we stretched our weary frames upon the stones ; and never monarch slept on bed of roses with more sweet repose. The morning's light revealed our path hard by our pillows ; a shout of joyful thanksgiving, and we set off for home. ^ A LECTURE ON THE ORIGIN, HABITS, MODES OF THOUGHT, PAST, AND , PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF THE "RED INDIANS OF THE WEST." By the Rev. John Sheepshanks, M.A. Rector <^p New "Wlstminster, AND Chaplain to the Bishop of oolumbia. Deliveredat the Town Hall, Brighton, Thursday, December 22, 1864. Lieutenant- Colonel Monsou in the Chair. I. ORIGIN — WHO ARK THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS, AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM ? Doubtless, in the present state of knowledge, this question does not admit of a definite answer. Yet I think various things go to show that America has been peopled by a race of men coming f om Asia, and belonging to the great Turanian family ; the diversities observable among their various tribes — the Es(]uiraaux of the North, the Caribs of the Bahamas, and the Mexicans of the South — being due to the difference of temperature, climate, habits, and food. personal characteristics op the INDIANS OP THE NORTH-WEST. lliose on the extreme west are muscular and broad-built. They have all the same type of countenance — very broad fiat face, broad flat nose, bright and intelligent eye, and long, black, straight hair, coming down, if not cut, to their shoulders, thick and coarse as the mane of a horse. The only physical peculiarity in which they differ from Europeans is this. The aperture in the hair of a European when cut is round ; the ap'^rture in the case of the North American Indian is not round, but oblong ; and in one race of the h\iman family — the Malays — the aperture is elliptical. /icrr 40 A LBCrrURE ON THE RED INDIANS OF THE WEST. UBAS0N8 POK THE ASIATIC ORIGIN — AZTEC LEGEND. v.: In Prescott's History of Mexico, Montezuma told Cortez of a tradi- tion of the Aztecs— that they had not been long in Mexico, but had been brought there in former days by a great hero ; that they had come over the sea, and had seen white men in times gone by. Now " Quetz-al-Coatl " means " Lord of the Seven Caves." Many con- jectures were made as to this tradition, and it was thought, with some plausibility, that they had come down the coast from the Aleutian Islands ; which, like a series of stepping-stones, lie between the two continents of America and Asia. The inhabitants of the Aleutian Islands live in caves to this day. . , " j. ,• ,. ,,, CAPTAIN MAUBY'S OPINION. :r(' Captain Maury, of the United States Navy, a noble-minded, clever, and brave man, is strongly convinced that this was the road by which the Aborigines entered America. He mentions, that there is a current through those islands which would of itself assist greatly the migration. Further, there is no wood on the islands themselves, and the canoes of the natives are made of camphor-wood, which is brought, across by the current from Asia. The natives hollow out the trunks, put dams of . mud at each end stick up a bough for a sail, and proceed with the current at the rate of three or four miles an hour. INDICATIONS OP THIS ORIGIN. The Mexicans were acquainted with the forms of animals which were not known in America, and never lived there, but which existed in Asia. They recognised pictures of these animals on seeing them. They use hieroglyphics, or picture writings, analogous to those r^ Asia. They are accustomed to the pyramidal form of building also found in Asia. In matters of religion, their ideas concerning the Great Unseen are exactly i-he same as those of the great Mongolian race of Asia. In the Baliamas, hatchets of jade — a speciet^ of marble not found there — have been discovered. The natives say they have been brought there by the people who first inhabited the islands, probably from Mexico, or even from Asia. It is therefore highly probable that the North American Indians reached their present home by way of the Aleutian Islands. II. NATIVE HISTORY — TRADITIONS. ' The general characteristic of Indian tradition is this : — ^There is a basis of truth ; you see something which is good and true, and reminds you of Holy Scripture, and then the tradition runs off invo something absurd and ludicrous. ,. ... • DUALISM. -I I '■,,■'.•■ They say there are two Spirits — the good and the bad. The good Spirit made the earth and peopled it. But he became angry with the people of the earth, and plunged the world into a groat lake, and kept it there until all the people were drowned. He then lifted it out agi' u, and he made a man and gave him a aister, and sent a dream to the . .i-fea's* *aiir THE FOUR SPIRITS. !■(;•!gp^fi^^t. m a tradi- but had hey had •.

The dream was, that there would come to her five suitors ; she was to reject the first four and accept the fifth. The first was called Tobacco ; the second, Melon ; the third, Pumpkin ; and the fourth, Beun. And she rejected them all, and the poor fellows died. Then came the fifth, that was Mondamin, the Indian corn. She married him, and it was from their marriage the Indians sprang. But Mondamin, being of a peculiar turn of mind or else benevolent, said, " Don't let the corpses lie there, but bury them." They buried them, and presently up came melons, pumpkins, and beans out of the ground for the support of the Indians. Such is the character of their traditions. It begins all very well. It reminds one of the deluge, and of the creation of man, and then runs off into something absurd. > : . - m • LEGEND OP THE 80NGES. (VICTORIA, VANCOUVER.) " ' They say that a long time ago two women — they don't say who they were or where they came from — were looking up into the blue sky, and thinking how beautiful it was, and how much they would like to be up there. While thus they meditated they fell asleep, and were carried up to the sky while they slept. When they awoke they found themselves among the wonderful and glorious inhabitants of those celestial regions. Witli them they married. However, being fickle and capricious, as time went on they regretted their having left the old country below and their old pursuits. They thought they should like to get back again to the earth. One day, while they were walking out in the celestial fields, they saw a plant, the onion, which they knew and had seen in Vancouver's Island. They pulled up the onion, and, to their amazement, saw there was a hole in the ground to which the onion had fitted as a plug. And they looked down through the hole and saw the old country. They were much delighted, and the nrily question with them was, how to get back there. So they set to ' i- i ft, tmd made ropes of the fibre of the cedar. When they thought tt > >. "(I sufficient, they pulled up the onion again and let down the lo^.". T- y found it was too short, so they went back and made it longet', I ati« at last it just reached the earth. Then they tucked their blankets round them, and descended by the rope to the earth. They feared pursuit, so they seized the end of the rope, and shook it about till the upper end came loose and the whole fell. From this union with the skies sprang the Indians. They firmly believe this, though it looks very like the old Chinese story of Jack and the Bean Stalk. THE POUR SPIRITS. Bull, dark, and confused are their ideas of the processes of Kature. i V example, they think there are four great spirits. One lives in the kDi'uUi, another in the Korth, a third in the East, and a fourth in the West. The spirit of the North sends them ice and snow. The spirit of the South sends them melons, maize, and tobacco ; the spirit of the West sends them rain for the crops ; and the spirit of the East sends light. The only reliable traditions are those of comparatively late date. ^ J Is 42 A LECTURE ON THE RED INDIANS OP THE WEST. THE PALE PACES — TSIMPSHBAN STORY. \ One day some of the Indians were on the beach, and as they looked seaward they saw a huge canoe coming up like a number of great trees. They ran down to the sea-side, the people came out of the canoe, and they were pale faces. The Indians had never seen any pale faces before, but they were friendly, and walked inland together. Then the pale faces wanted food, and they took a stick and pointed it at a bird. There was thunder and the bird fell down, and the Indians around all died. The pale faces then wanted to cook the bird. When the Indians wanted to cook, they took a couple of sticks and rubbed them until the fire came ; but these pale faces got a bit of stone and a bit of metal, struck the one on the other, and tho^e was the fire, and the Indians all died. The Indians were wont to heat water in bowls of wood, by dropping >/' hot stones into it. But the pale faces put the pot on the fire, anu '^dians expected it would be burnt. But no. They looked and looii , but the pot was not burnt ; the water began to boil, and the Indians all died. III. RELIGION. Their religion is not so much polytheism as pantheism. They believe that God is everything, and that everything is God ; or rather that everything is a God. For instance — they suppose the sun and moon to be intelligent creatures ; and, as man has a soul and body, so the sun and moon have a soul and body. And when the sun and moon move across the heavens, the Indians think they are doing so purposely, and their only perplexity is to know what they are doing when they are " do"\vn there somewhere." SPIRIT-WORSHIP. 'iiM»; ' The Indian sees a spirit in everything. When he goes out fishing he prays to the spirit of the sun. If the waves rise about him, he prays to the spirit of the waves not to engulph liim ; and if he is thrown near a rock, he prays to the spirit of the rock that his canoe may not be dashed upon it. GENII. There are also local deities or genii in every place. There is a god of every creek and river. rf .,i.4 LEGEND OP THE NAA8 RIVER. Once the god of the Naas Eiver was very angry with the Indians who had caught some salmon, and had not put them to death at once, but had tortured them. Therefore he determined to destroy the Indians. They all fled away, except one woman. The god of the river detached a large piece of the mountain, and made it fall into the river, which then rose up to the village, which was destroyed, and the woman was drowned. And even now they point up to a part of the rock where there seems to be a woman; it is as much like a woman as anything else. Here you see singularly mixed up the old tr;dition of the Indians and the Scriptural record of the flood and Lot's wife. And I may INIHATION — COUltSE OF THE FIVE GARMENTS. 43 .J' fishing im, lie he is canoe Indians at once, roy the of the 'all into ed, and part of like a [ndians I may mention by the way, that in every Indian tribe they have preserved a tradition more or less distinct or distorted of a deluge. MONOTHEISM. I am rather sceptical as to their ideas about Monotheism. I am inclined to think that their present ideas as to one Supreme Being have been derived, perhaps through many hands, from the whites — from the Americans or Eussians. The universality, however, of their tradition respecting the flood, I do firmly believe, and consider to be a most singular fact. Thus you observe their belief is a sort of spirit-Avorship. They see a spirit in every element of nature. In all the rocks, caves, and trees, they think there is something supernatural, something belonging to another world. SUPERSTITIOUS FEAR. This belief in spirits produces much superstitious fear. The Indian is always full of awe, as he thinks those spirits are always about him. He does not understand them, and everything seems to him full of mystery. Thus, in the woods, in solitude, in darkness, he is always pursued by this awe, always subject to this fear. . ,, , IV. CASTES — PRIESTCRAFT. We have heard of priestcraft among the nations of Europe, and it is often a word of terrible meaning ; but no people that I know of have been so much under the dominion of priestcraft as these poor North American Indians. The priests, " Medicine Men," or "Pow- wows," as the;y are variously called, form about one-tenth of the whole community. They are supposed to have certain special endoAvments, which the other Indians have not. This is often hereditary. The medicine-man's son is generally brought up as a medicine-man, but not always. INITIATION. • • ' , ■ Sometimes the Indians will bring their children to be initiated. They bring them with presents to the priests, and then the poor little things are initiated in a long course of training. The initiation begins when they are about seven years old, and continues to the age of puberty. During this they have to undergo periods of retirement, meditation, and festing. ,j , . . * . ^ . COURSE OF THE FIVE GARMENTS. , ,;,..!, ... Those who are to be medicine-men have to undergo a special course, called the course of the five garments. The lad has to go into the woods and fast in a lonely place in the midst of the forest. He is clad in a garment made of bark, and always wears the wampum belt, made of cedar. He has to remain out till invited by some Indian to come to his house and partake of food. When this happens, he throws off that suit and puts another on, and again does the same thing, until the five courses are completed. And then comes the strictest fast of all, and it is during this last fast that the young Indian has his guardian spirit revealed to him. 44 A LECTURE ON THE RED INDIANS OP THE WEST. 'M i DREAMS — SOURCE OP INDIAN DEITIES. Whatever he dreams of during this period he takes as the object of his worship ; and he always wears a symbol of that supposed deity about him — generally in his cap. If he dreams of a salmon, he wears a fin ; and if of a bird, a feather, and so on. Ml l'\ ,,i LEGEND OF THE SIOUX TRIBES. . A long time ago a poor Indian lived on the outskirts of the forest, with his Avife and family. He was a brave and industrious man, but unsuccessful in hunting, and so they were very poor. The time came when the eldest son had to undergo the great fast. His mc ther made for liim an arbour of boughs on the outskirts of the forest. * . son's reflections. The first day he wandered there among the flowers, and thought how beautiful they were, and how good the spirit wa« who made all these things. He then reflected on the abjectness and misery of his fellow-Indians. He knew how great their sorrows were. He saw how their life was one continuous struggle with starvation, and he longed to f'" ver sometiiing to do them good. THE YOUTH OP THE GREEN PLUMB. The third day he had become very weak, when, in the evening, he suddenly saw before him a young man clothed in green garments, with a beautiful green plume coming out of his head and drooping down over his shoulders. The young man said, " Get up and wrestle with me." He got up, weak as he was, and did his best. Then the youth of the green plume said to him, " To-morrow I will come again." The next day the poor Indian was weaker still, and could scarcely move. Presently he saw before him the youth with the green plume, who said, "Arise and ^vrestle with me." He could scarcely get up; but when he grasped hold of the young man, he seemed to gain fresh strength. They wrestled together. At length thus spoke the youth of the green plume : " That is enough for this time. I foresee you will overcome me. Your fai.li'"^ will bring you food to-moiTow, and you must partake of it sparingly. I see you will prevail over me, and I shall die. And when I am dead, bury me in the ground, and keep my grave clean and in repair ; pluck out all the roots and weeds, and every month bring fresh soil, and put it over where I lie. I know what your ambition is, and you will prevail." '■ * On the fifth day, his father brought him some food ; but the son said, " 1^0 ; I have done without it so far, and I will do without it still." In the evening, the youth of the green plume again stood before him. "Weak though he was, he again wrestled, and at last threw him. The youth of the green plume died. The Indian carried out the body and buried it, partook of food, and returned to his family. He said nothing about what had occurred ; but every week he went out to visit the grave and keep it clean ; and every month he brought fresh soil, and put it over where the body lay. And behold, THE BLUE BIRD — THE MURDERER'S CONFESSION. 45 after some weeks, the showers came dovm, and he saw the tops of the beautiful green plumes just peeping above the ground. As time advanced, they got higher and higher, and week after week, and month after month, the green plumes continued to spring up. The autumn came, and the leaves turned yellow, and he saw before him a tree full of beautiful yellow fruit or corn. Then he went and fetched his father, and when he saw this lovely plant with bright golden ears, he said, "Mondamin — the Spu'it of the Corn." . . - 3W, and |me, and id keep kds, and 1 1 know the son thout it stood at last carried to his week 3nth he [behold, -! r .- .... :. CANNIBALISM. • " ;• .- - The medicine-men, in order to retain their influence over the people, are compelled to have recourse to various devices. They teach the people, therefore, that they have spirits within them ; and in many cases, in order to frighten the people into subjection, they proceed to fearful extremities. The medicine-men may be divided into three classes : those who eat human flesh, those who eat dog's, and those who do not eat either. Women are admitted to the two last classes, but not to the first. i . t In every tribe there arc two, three or four cannibals. Those are the chief in«dicine-mpn, who feel they must keep np a terror in the mmds of the people. " NOOK-NOCK." When they feel their power on the wane, they say, the " Nock- nock " within them wants and must have food. The Indians know what it means, and 'dismay spreads among all ranks. The medicine- men have been secretly told that some one has died, and they rush about the village in wild excitement, pretending to scent out the corpse, till they find it, when they break open the box and devour the body! ' • ^ • '• • • ' -^ CONJURING. They have some curious secrets, or conjuring tricks, which they hand down from one generation to another. They have meetings among the tribes, when they show off their tricks. They will stand on the fire, grasp red-hot iron, thrust a spear down a boy's throat, and so forth. THE BLUE BIRD. Some officers of the Hudson's Bay Company witnessed the following trick. They went into a large hut. A fire was burning on the earthen floor, and a hole just above it, in the roof, allowed the smoke to escape. The medicine-men sat round the fixe. One of them got up and began whistling; presently he got into a sort of cadence; and soon after there was a fluttering just outside the hole in the roof, and they saw a little blue bird come down into the hut and fall into the fire. They could not teU by what agency the medicine-man managed it. THE murderer's CONFESSION. It not unfrequently happens that, when they are dying- if not before, the medicine-men will tell the truth, as regards these lying wonders. I recollect a case of this kind which occurred last winter .'X \ 46 A LECTURE ON THE RED INDIANS OF THE WEST. si* If- h'' M at New Wostminster. I was then acting ns chaplain to the gaol ; and a medicine-ifian was sent down from Queen Charlotte's Island for murder. He was tried and found guilty. Before he was certain of being hanged he was as self-confident as possible, and he used to tell me what he could do. When I told him that he was going to be hung, he said, " Ah, we shall see ; you shall see what will come to pass. If the civil powers will take me out, the rain will come down " — it had been a very dry season — " and the wind will blow, fire will run along the ground, and you will see me floating along in the air, with my head down." However, when the time came, and ho was led out to be executed, there was a very different scene then. Very early in the morning, while the snow fell, I ascended the scaffold with him, and then he spoke out. He was not afraid of death, and he spoke out firmly and boldly to all the Indians present. He told them it was that foul medicine work which had brought him to that state ; that his heart was bad ; that the medicine work had ruined him, and he advised them to have nothing more to do with it. These words had a great effect on the Indians. shimlahd'b dance. In other instances we allow them to retain some of their old customs, but with everything superstitious taken away. Thus they retain their great dances. Not long ago, I went to one of these. We went into a large room in Shimlahu's house. He is the chief. Two or three hundred of the people were ranged round the room with their backs to the wall. Those round the wall were raised on seats, while the priests sat in the centre. Most of them had sticks in their hands, with which they beat time and accompanied the singing. There were two fires on the earthen floor. The first to come out and sing was a young chief ; as he went on, he lifted up his arms now and then, and this caused the din to be greatly increased, till it became almost deafening. The old Shimlahu exhibited the remaining activity of his somewhat stiffened frame in gyrations harmonizing with tts melody of the sticks ; wliile he, again, was followed by a woman who graced the scene with many wondrous antics. , . . . ■f'i V. METHODS ADOPTED FOR THE AMELIORATION OP THE INDIANS. The Bishop has two plans in operation. 1. The first is to send instructors to pass through their country from time to time, and teach the Indians as much as possible in short visits ; to tell them the primary truths of Christianity ; to exliort them to temperance and morality ; and, more than aught else almost, to lead them to desire more complete instruction in the way of truth. This plan is carried out as follows : — During the summer, we travel through their country, generally on foot. We have to pack our horses with provisions — ^bread, flour, bacon, and beans. Wherever there are Indians or miners we stop. We then light a fire, prepare food, and so forth. Afterwards, the Indians gather round, some twenty or thirty in a body. We agree to have a great meeting next day. h') RELIGIOUS TEACHING — LEARNING THE LANGUAGE. 47 1 ; and nd for tain of to tell f to be ome to down " ire will the air, was led ry early th him, (oke out 1 it was ;e; that and he >rds had justoms, lin their ent into or three backs to e priests which ires on chief; caused The mewhat sticks ; sne with [ANS. country in short rt them , to lead ner, we ack our lerever [prepare , some leeting INDIAN GATHERING. The place being indicated and the time by the position of the sun, Indian scouts spread over the country to tell the scattered villages of our presence and intention. As the sun nears his appointed position, the Indians come riding in from all points, in wild and picturesque bodies. They squat upon the ground, their horses browse on the grass of the prairie ; while we talk to them, and endeavour to teach them morality — the men to be sober and temperate, and the women chaste and obedient. RELIGIOUS TEACHING. '' We endeavour to instruct them in the principal truths of Chris- tianity — that there is One God ; that the soul is immortal ; that people are happy or miserable hereafter, according as they act in this life ; that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, is their good Friend, who came into this world in order to save them. In short, the Apostles' Creed forms the basis of instruction in these cases. We further desire to stir up in them a longing for more instruction, in order to make them receive and welcome the teachers, who will come and live with them and build them up in the truth. INTEREST AWAKENED. They know very well how ignorant they are, and they often compare themselves with the whites. At one meeting, a poor fellow shook my hand very earnestly. He was formerly a terrible savage ; and, as he stood there, with his black hair all matted together with fish-oil, and his tanned and painted skin, he looked just like a bronze statue. He said, *' Oh ! chief, it is a good thing to know Almighty God : the Indians do not know Almighty God." He then left in silence. Who can tell how deep the thought which led to such a statement ? 2. The second plan adopted for their amelioration is, — To establish defined settlements among them, so that the young as well as the adults may be educated and brought up as Christians. •.- , . :. ,. «. THE TSIMPSHEAN MISSION. ' ' About eight years ago a gentleman, sent by the Church Missionary Society, went out as missionary to the Indians. By the advice of the Governor, Sir James Douglas, he went to live among the Tsimpsheans, a tribe on the mainland, just oi)posite to Queen Charlotte's Island. LEARNING THE LANGUAGE. / For six months he never opened his lips to them until he was thoroughly acquainted with the language. He was afraid of exposing himself, and the eternal truths he was commissioned to teach, to ridicule, if he began to speak before he was perfectly able. He there- fore gave himself to learning the language, which he did from a young Indian, who had been instructed by some of the Hudson's Bay Company people, and who knew English. \ m 48 A LKOTTTRE ON THE RED INDIANS OF THE WEST. niS PLAN. There were about two thousand Indians. He gathered a school of the children, and taught English, reading, and writing — his main object being, however, to inculcate the truths of Christianity. On Sunday he gatliered the adults, preached to them, and endeavoiired to make them converts to the faith. So he continued, for about three or four years, workhig nobly, patiently, and untiringly. OPPOSITION. ■ , -- >. . Of course, many efforts were made to put a stop to his proceeding. The medicine-men saw he was undermining their system, and tried to quell liim altogether. ',.1 "..'■■•. j> .1. ; ■ '■ •'< . EFFORTS TO INTIMIDATE. At one time, when the school was about to commence, in burst a furious band of medicine-men headed by the chief, who was deter- mined to put a stop to the school. He said the medicine-men were going to have a dance and a feast, and the missionary must stop the school. Mr. Duncan refused to do so j and the Indians raved and drew their daggers, and seemed on the point of murdering him. .y i'^r. THE UNKNOWN FBIJSND. Doubtless they would have consummated their bluuoy purpose, had it not been for the conduct of one unknown friend. This Indian came and stood behind Mr. Duncan, and held a revolver under his blanket, and when the threatenings became extreme, and there seemed every probability of murder, he got the handle of the revolver and showed it to Legale, the chief. This, entirely unknown to Mr. Duncan, humanly speaking, saved his life. Mr. Duncan had a brave, stout English heart, and, sustained by faith, he stood firm. The Indians baffled left, and the work of the school proceeded. METLAKATLAH. As time went on he made wonderful progress among t'aem, but the great difficulty was, that while they were under his instruction, they were living in the midst of vile and idolatrous practice «, The mis- sionary saw this would not do, and so he determined to cr ue out from among them and take away his people. He carefully selected a spot which has since received the name of Metlakatlah, and which was a good situation for the purpose. He then said to the Indians, " I will not live amongst you because my heart is very sick. You do many bad things, and medicine work is wicked. I shall go to Metlakatlah, and if you want to come with me you must make up your minds to live under Christian laws and customs, and leave your medicine work ; but unless you are willing to make these sacrifices you must not come." FORMATION OF THE NEW VILLAGE. ,: . , There was a great stir among the Indians. I^one liked to be the first to go. At last one family and then another got into the canoe, ■liil POLICY OF THE DACOTA TIB AND UTE8 — CONCLUSION. 49 jhool of a object Sunday lo make or four ceeding. tried to burst a IS deter- len were stop the ved and 1. ,^ ■..mr. )ose, had ian came , blanket, jd every lowed it bumanly English aed left, but the 3n, they he mis- ut from a spot was a " I will lany bad ah, and to live Irk ; but ae." be the canoe. and that ev(jnin^ ho had about twenty-tivo Indians round him. The next day fifty more came, the day following one hundrod, and the next day (mo hundred, and in a fow weeks he had five hundred Indians gathered out. 8ince then the village has gone on prosper- ously, and now there are about eight hundred Indians there. Metla- katlah is now a Cliristian village, and Mr. Duncan is its governor. Sir James Douglas has given him a commission of the peace ; he has now poAver to prevent whisky selling and smuggling, which is ft very essential thing. ' -» BAPTISM. With regard to baptism, the missionary is extremely cautious and careful. Ho has never had an Indian baptized who has not been for three years under his own imnvdiate instruction or obsiu-vation. •'■''■' "^^ ' REv^UIBKMENTS FOR 11APTI8M. ' ' ' •'' He requires that they should not only be thoroughly informed as to what Christianity is, but he tests them in all possible ways to see that they are desirous in their hearts of living according to the holy pre- cepts of the Oospel. He makes them give up all heathen practices and idolatrous habits, before he allows them to prepare for baptism. In fact, he has endeavoured as much as possible, and as far as man can do, to take care that none should be baptized except those who seem both intellectually and in heart to be thoroughly prepared for that sacrament. The consequence is, that only just the chosen few are as yet baptized, which amount to about two hundred. • , . THE INDIAN DIES OUT BEFORE THE WHITES. I know you have often heard that it is impossible to do anything for these poor creatures — that the Indian dies out wherever the white man goes. This statement is in a great m ^asu^e true. But why is it so 1 It is because of the sins of the white man. The Indians have learned our vices, they have contracted habits of intoxication, and their poor women have been led away by the ungodly white men, who are often Avhat is called the " pioneers of civilization." They get new diseases, and learn new vices, and so the poor creatures die out. . , <, ^r' -^ POLICY OP THE DACOTAHS AND UTES. These tribes live between California and Salt Lake C*ity. They have not decreased, and for this reason — they will not have anything to do with the white man. If an Indian woman g(i to live with a white man, they put her to death ; and if any children are born of the Indian woman with a white complexion, they dash their brains out against the stones, and take tlie woman to the midst of the prairie, and surround her with faggots and burn her to death. This seems cruel ; but it L their policy — their only way of preserving their tribes. CONCLUSION. I^ow, my Christian friends, what are we not bound to do for these poor creatures, after we, or our fellow-countrymen, have been the cause of their ruin ? Look at the fact, that it is because oi, us and our vices D /"S. \ i.li 00 0IRL8 OOLLEOIATB BOUOOL. 4 J* if r* tlmt tliey have docayed.

GIELS' COLLEGIATE SCHOOL, UNDER MRS. REECE AND THE TWO MISSES PENRICE. The important subject of Female Education in the colony still suffers by delay in the erection of a suitable building in Victoria. The appeal issued by the Bishop during his stay in England has only realized 112?.

The school is still carried on in a wooden building, for which a rent is paid of 120?. a year. Mrs. Reece, th? lady superintendent, and the Misses Penrice, have continued their valuable labours.

Tub Columbia Mission Report for 18G3 (Rivingtons) sliows that the Bialiop has not succeeded, during his recent visit, iu raising the necessary funds for carrying on his iuiportant work. One object, at present laid aside, demands special attention, as bear- ing greatly upon the future well-being of the colony — Provision for Female Education. On the ]*acific Coast are many families who find it very difficult to obtain Governesses or Schools, but who desire anxiously for their daughters a sound English Education. To meet this want, the Bishop has established, in Victoria, an Insti- tution called the Girls' Collegiate School, presided over by three ladies ; but its position is gathered from the following extract, p. 10, Report for 1863:— ,. ** It is to be remembered by our friends that the ' •iris' Collegiate School, where, as in the Boys' Collegiate School, the cliildren of the Clergy are instructed free, is held in a wooden building, for which a rent is paid of 1201. a year.

'■„ ■ ■ [From the Biitish Columbian.^ May, 1865. Most of our readers are aware that the Venerable Archdeacon Wright is about to return to England. The valedicitory services were held in Holy Trinity Church on Sunday morning, when the Archdeacon preached a most appropriate and impressive sermon to a very large congregf.tion. At the close of the service the Committees of Holy Trinity and St. Mary's waited upon the venerable gentleman in the vestry and presented the -jUowing address : — To the Venerable Henri/ Press Wright, Archdeacon of Columbia. Venerable Sir, — We, the church committee? of Holy Trinity, New Westminster, and St. Mary's- oapperton, neai' that city, on behalf of the several congregations we represent, desire to express on your leaving the scene of your ministerial labour here our abiding p..nso of the zeal and earnestness which have distinguished your ministrations not only in this neighbourhood but in various parts of the (;olony. We acknowledge with grateful feelings the deep interest you have ster^dily manifested through the whole of your career amongst us in everyti ing which could tend to promote the materi; ' and spiritual welfare of <■ ur church. Prominent in all educational matters, your views, at ouce sound, liberal and practical, have commended themselves to other reli- gious denominations besides our own, and will leave their mark, and, Ave trust, bear fruit abundantly, long after you have ceased to be among u-:;. Your journeys and visitations as Archdeacon in charge of all the weighty matters of the diocese during the Bishop's absence have made you familiar not only with the geographical features of the Colony but With its sphitual wants. The supply of these has ever had your earnest advocacy, and we trust may still obtain it when (D.V.) you may reach home- Receive also our acknowlodgiuont of the hearty readiness with which you have aided us in every good word and work that could tend to promote the welfavii of British Cohimbia and its inhabitants, for your sympathy indeed with everything British Columbian. \Ye pray that you, your Avife and family, may be blessed with a pi'osperous return and a happy meeting with all friends at home, and every temporal and spiritual blessing, and that, when occasion may permit, your thoughts may still not unfrequontly be turricd with n TESTIMONIALS TO CLERGY OP THE MISSION. 63 friendly renuniscence to that little hand of pioneers who are hearing forward the banner of the cross, tlie van-guard of civilization, into the forests of the far west, and who now with many a kindly greeting hid you heartily farewell. ...

Gentlemen, — I thank you with all my heart for the expressions of kind feeling contained in the address with which you have been pleased to present me. I know full well that every word it contains is thoroughly real, and therefore it is that I value the friendly notice you have taken of my services in this city and colony. Would that these services had been better worthy of your praise. It has been my duty to take a deep interest in everything which could tend to promote the material and spiritual welfare of the Church of Christ, and I assure you that I shall always esteem it one of the most pleasing recollections of my life that the little I was permitted to do with you or for you met with your approval. Truly sorry am I to leave you. Fain would I have remained with you ; but seeing that a Bishop was about to reside in your city, and that your able and esteemed Rector would soon be a<;ain with you, I could not but feel that the order of the Minister of War that I should return to my military duties was a call to more important labour, and ouglit therefore at once to be obeyed. Though absent in body I shall continue »vlth you in spirit, and of this you may be assured, that my every exertion sj.all be made at home to further the well-doing of a colony Avhich has such vast re- sources, and in which we all take so deep an interest. You truly observe thp.c my sympathies have been with everything British Columbian. 1 trust that they will never cease to be so. That God may long bless and continue to you that zeal and devotion which have gained for the Churchmen of Kew Westminster an honour- able name throughout the length and breadth of the Diocese, is the prtiyer of your grateful brother in Christ, H. P. Wright, Archdeacon of Columbia. The Rev. K J, Dundas, M.A. went out with the Bishop in 1859, and has laboured eurucstly and successfully. He had given himself for iive years, and at the expiration of tlie term has returned to ^l . +; ■ • . I 54 TESTIMONIALS TO CLEROT OF THE MISSION. England. The following extract from a local paper will show the deep regret with which his departure has been held : — ' •" ; . y '. ADDRESS TO THE REV. R. J. DUNDA8. Upwards of one hundred personal friends and parishioners of the Rev. E. J. Dundas, late Rector of St. John's Church, assembled last even- ing in the Chamber of Commerce, to publicly testify their appreciation of his ministerial services. The Hon. R. Finlayson occupied the chair, and Mr. Sebright Green acteii as Secretary. The following address was read : — " Reverend and dear Sir, — We, the undersigned membeis of your congregation, desire to express, before your departure from this colony, uur deep feeling of sorrow and regret at losing you from amongst us. "As our pastor you have been revered and esteemed by us as thoroughly as you have been beloved by those who, during your resi- dence in Victoria, have enjoyed your personal friendship ; and it cannot be otherwise than with pain that we find the time arrived to bid you farewell. " Wherever your future lot may be cast, whether our earnest desire and prayer to see you once more amongst us as our rector shall be gratified, or whether other nearer and dearer ties shall influence you to remain in England, we feel sure that, bo far as opportunity is given, your labours will redound to the glory of God and the extension of His kingdom. " The fruits of your ministration will be long felt in this colony, and we believe that you will have the satisfaction of bearing with you throughout life the feeling that your worlc amongst us has not been in vain. " The uncertainty of life, combined with the various causes which influence the current of population in a yoimg colony, leads us to feel that some of us have heard your voice in the pulpit of St. John's Church for the last time ; whether the Allwise and Almighty Disposer of events will permit any of us to welcome j'ou back, who can say ? We can only hoj)e. And we feel assured that this, as all other matters, will be ordered a^i is best. " In conclusion, we beg you to accept our hearty wishes for your happiness and prosperity in this life, and our earnest prayer for your eternal welfare in the life to come." The document bore tlie sigDature of all the leading members of the congregation. The reverend gentleman replied in the following eloquent terms : — " My dear Friends and late Parishioners, — I can hardly tell you in language that would fully express my feelings, my deep, real gratifica- tion at this mark of your a])prociation of my labours, and of your regard towards mys(3lf personally. " No one can look back over a period of work such as mine has been, without being painfully conscious of very many shortcomings and errors in the dis(;harge of his trust. I know how sadly 1 have faile ' to realize my own ideal standard of what a dergj "nan ought to be ; I can but alfirm that the position 1 have held for ^he last five TESTIMONIALS TO CLERGY OF THE MISSION. 55 how the rs of the last even- (reciation he chair, ; address I of your !s colony, ngst us. by us as (Tour resi- it cannot ) bid you Bst desire shall be ce you to is given, ension of lony, and ivith you not been es which as to feel John's Disposer can say? matters, for your for your rs of the bllowing 1 you in gratitica- of your nine has tcomings y 1 have ought to last five years was not sought by me; that my belief was then, and still is, that abler hands might have been found to carry on the work, and that nothing but the decision of my Bishop, overruling my own judgment, could have induced me to occupy so important a post in the diocese as that of Eector of St. John's, liut I came here simply to do whatever work he might appoint for me, and I l)ave at least wished to do my duty. " By far the greater measure of success that has attended the past working of St. John's is due to the co-operation with myself of the Churchwardens and Church Committee. I cannot sufliciently thank them. With them rests the credit of having solved the que.slion, whether the Church of England, so effective in her work at home as an Established Church, can succeed as a voluntary coiununiion in these colonies. From the day of the consecration in 1860, St. John's has been self-supporting : the congregation, receiving no ext(irnal aid, have erected the fabric, maintained it in a state of efficiency, lighted it with gas, supported their minister, and built a rectory-house. I am more than satisfied with the progress of the two past years. Had I gone away without seeing the parsonage standing by the church, I should have felt that one very important feature in my intended work was unaccomplished. I know that some slight disappointment has been felt at my own short occupation of it ; but the more heartily do I thank you for having considered, not merely the gratification of your own kind wishes in respect of myself, but the more important interests of the Church ; and in providing for these you do me a far greater kindness. " I look to you, my friends, to carry on and evtend the work you have begun. I know that I leave your highest i' ii'sts in the care of one at whose feet I would gladly have sat as a learner ; one whose praise is in the Church at home, and in Canada, for zenl aiiil ability, for ripened wisdom and for Christian earnestness. Be his lielpers as you have been mine, and God will prosper your united efforts.* " And now once more receive this expression of my aifectionate esteem and gratitude for all your past sympathy, as w(j11 as for this crowning evidence of your friendship and regard. What may be my future in life, I cannot say ; but, whether it b<^ amongst you or sepa- rated from you, my prayers shall not be wanting for you and yours, that the abundant blessing of our Heavenly Father naay be shed around you for his Son's sake." ADDRESS TO THE REV. U. L. C. BROWN, M.A. The Rev. Mr. Brown has occupied one of tlie frontier posts in British Columbia, and has been an active missionary at the mines of Cariboo. His incessant labours have broken down his health, and he is compelled to rest aAvhile from work. The following address was presented by his parishioners at Lillooet : — " To Kev. R. L. C.

We are v^ y glad to hear there is a hope you may return to us after a time ; and with the sincere wish that v/e may have the benefit and pleasure of having you to resume your dutie-^ here again, we beg you to accept our grateful esteem, and also tho accompanying purse."
