TiTR CoLxninTV 1^TISST0V Fund was established in IS.')!), to aid tlie Church of Hiioliuul in the now Colony of 15ritish Coliiml)ia, the area ofwliich equals that of Frauoe ami En^iland, in the niainttiianco of Clergy, Catechists, and Tcacliera, amongst the European, Chinese, and Indian population ; also in erection of Ciiurcnea, Schools, Parsonages, find Mission Buildings, Tlius far the work has prospered, and the Church of Christ is being steadily planted in that new land ; for in Ton years, instead of one Clerf/i/iiinn and one Clntrch, there are 25 Churches and Mission Chapels, 21 Resiliences, and 11 School Rooms; 10 Jlissions have been opened to the Indian population, glebes for future endowment have been secured in many parishes, and 15 Clcrf/i/nien, 13 Catechists and Teachers form (1800) tlie Ministering and Educational body, through whom, from 35 centres, the work of civilization is proceeding in all parts of the Colony, The iXative Indian race numbers 50,000, of whom abonf 5,000 are under insir net ion mfour chief centres, 'm(^\n(\\.\\<^ the Chymsi an Mission of the C. M. S., hundreds of mile.i apart. If these centres can be strengthened and extended as openings occur, the whole of this noble race may be rescued, elevatvd and saved. The European Colonists are scattered over a vast area of many districts, rural, town, and mining, varying in population from a few hundreds to several thousands, and are doing their utmost, making efforts with much self-denial, to keep amongst then-i the means of grace, Columbia having now joined the Dominion, and a railroad through the whole British Territory being one of the conditions, population is likely from this time steadily to increase. Assistance at this time is earnestly sought in consequence of the following circtuTistances, viz. : — A Commercial Crisis, lasting four years, has greatly reduced resources in the Colony, and in spite of all efforts has placed the Mission hi dijficxltif. FaUing off in Subscriptions at home through death of friends exjiiration of limited time of snbsrrijjtions, and other causes. Reduction in the C ,-'int of the Sucicty for the Propagation of the Gospel 3(* ])cr rent, has rendered M impnssUde for tlie Clerrjif, alreaily jvxuly paid, to e.cist up<>n tlie reduced- incomes. Several N'eio Missions of peculiar interest have been recently, nnd almost of necessity, undertaken ; such as the Rev. J. B, Good's removal to the Thompson River Indians, who urfjeittli) j^ressed him to come, and o/ ui/to??i 2,000 have placed themselves under instruction ; the new Mission to the Tahh-aht 2'ribes who inhabit 20 vil/ar/es along 200 7niles of the Pacific Coast ; per- manent residence of a Missionary at Cariljoo, the chief mining district of the Colony, «tc. Urgent Call for extension, especially amongst the Natives of the Eraser and Thompson Itivers, where tivo additional Missionaries are urgently needed to teach the converts and si.porintend industrial wor'- ; amongst the Ilaidahs in Queen Charlotte's Islands, and thr Quoquolts, numbering 5,000 each nation, who have asked for teachers and to wJiom Four Mission- aries should go : these are calls which, if unheeded now, must result in ground l)cing lost and openings neglected, never afterwards to be regained. For an eificient work, seventeen additional Missionaries are needed. Severed vacant postsc&rxnoi befdled up without increased means. There will be ahsohUe necessity for giving np important work which God is blessing, and reducing the number of Clergy, if this Apiieal does not succeed. To the above causes of anxiety may now be added the total destruction of the Cathedral church fiy fire on the night of the 1st of October 18G9, ,£3,000 is required in Annual Sidiscriptions ; — and Jhnafioiis are earnestly sou^jht towards tlie debt upon the JNlissiou and extension uf the work.
