The

REPORT.

In accordance with the notice given to the friends and helpers
of the Columbia Mission in the last Report, the Report now
issued embraces the operations of a longer period than usual,
in order that ii; f«)ture it may come out early instead of late in
the year.

It will be seen by the Balance-sheet that the amount collected
for the year ending 3 1st December, 18GG, has been 1,365^. 12«. 2d.,*
while the home expenses have been 293/. Qs. 9d., and the sum
drawn out for the purposes of the Mission has been 2,750/. ds. Gd.;
making a total of 3,043/. 10«. M.

The progress of the Mission during the past year has not been
marked by the commencement of any new fields of labour. The
want of funds and clergy has caused several important mining
districts to remain unvisited, while many openings amongst the
heathen still call aloud upon the Church to enter in and occupy
in the name of the Lord. Indeed, the state of the British
possessions on the Pacific has during the last t' > years been one
of anxiety.

Political agitation has injured the temporal affairs of the
colony ; a commercial panic has added to the depression and
caused the departure of a considerable number of persons.
Though the Church has suffered much less than could have been
expected, yet incomes derived from investments have been
reduced, and the colonists have been prevented from assisting
the work of God amongst them to the extent they could wish
and necessity required.

In proof of the special difficulties in the way of planting our
Christianity on the shores of the Pacific, it may be mentioned,
that partly owing to the depression alluded to, so common in
nc'y countries, and partly to the fickle character of the popula-
tion, several towns and villages where churches and parsonages
have been built, and clergy for a time sustained, and which were
supposed likely to rise into importance, are now abandoned
almost entirely by their inhabitants.

* The period embraced in the Financial Report is only nine months, the
.xccounta in the last Report having been closed in April 1866.]

REPORT,

fit

The presence, too, of a much larger proportion than usual of
persons utterly indifferent to religion, if not hostile to it, and of
many imbued with ideas and pnnciples foreign to those of the
mother-laud of England, renders the advance of pure and prac-
tical Christianity slow, arduous, and discouraging.

The clergy sent out by this Mission are not dismayed by these
difficulties, but we feel sure will continue to maintain their good
reputation for earnest and faithful work to which many bear
testimony. They look, however, for the prayerful sympathy
of their brethren in old England's favoured home, and no
doubt are deriving blessing and support through the prayers of
many.

The varied matters recorded in this Report will speak for
themselves. They represent the every-day work of the diocese,
and are gathered from notes and observations roughly made at
the time. What is recorded of one missionary and of one sphere
of work is a sample of what is being done by many others.
They give perhaps but a faint idea of the anxieties, depression,
and painful self-distrust which the difficulties of the work often
produce in the mind and feelings of the missionaries of the
Gospel.

The whole support of the work of the diocese of British
Columbia does not happily fall upon this fund.

The gratitude of the Colonial Church is due to the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel in the first place, and to the
Church Missionary Society, the account of whose mission at
Metlacatla will be read with deep interest. The Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge has also befriended the work,
and in particular by a contribution towards the college for the
Christian edifcation of girls, which has been named in honour of
Miss Burdett Coutts.

May the blessing of God attend the issue of this Report. May
it excite thankfulness to Him who alone " giveth the increase "
in such undertakings, and to whom alone is all the glory due.
May zeal be kindled in the cause of our blessed Master, and of
souls for whom He shed His most precious Blood ; and may it
call forth the earnest and prayerful help, to all such good works,
of the faithful sons and daughters of^ England's Church, who,
while watering others, shall be blest and watered themselves.

DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE.

The following documents respeoting the proposed diviaion of the
diocese will be read with interest by the friends of the Mission : —

No. 1. — Letter from the Bishop of British Columbia to the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, containing proposals for the divinion of the
Diocese into two, and the endowment of the new liishopric.

7, Upper Bebkklet Stbf.et, Pohtman Square,
October 6th, 1864.

My Lord Archbishop, — It may be in the recollection of your Grace
that a resolution was passed at a meeting of the Colonial Bishoprics'
Council in July last, declaring the importance of dividing the diocese
of Columbia, as soon as the funds could be found for the endowment
of the new See.

The necessity for this division arises from the vast extent of the
present diocese, equal in area to England and France, and the physical
impossibility of giving that attention to all parts of the diocese
which is most important in the early stage of planting and fostering
the institutions of Christianity. Tlie political ciroumstances also uf
the two colonies of Columbia and Vancouver, which have occasioned
the appointment of two Governors, give direction to religious matters
and make it very desirable to go along with the public sentiment by
an extension also of the Episcopate. A very strong feeling in favour
of a resident Bishop in New Westminster has often been publicly
expressed. Any measure tending as this would do to strengthen
British feeling is CMpecially valuable in that port of the empire at the
present time.

It is proposed that the title of the See to be created shall be that
of New Westminster, after the chief town of the colony of British
Columbia, the southern and north-eastern portions of which will form
the new diocese ; while the north, western portion of Columbia, with
Queen Charlotte's Islands and the colony of Vancouver, will con-
stitute the other diocese, over which I shall continue to preside, with
Victoria as my place of residence.

With respect to endowment, I am happy to be able to report to
your Grace that 5,500^. is secured ; viz.

2,500^. already invested in land, chiefly in and about New

Westminster.
2,000/. in hand here, ready to be paid over, if the See be

constituted.

Knowledge.

7,000/., wliioli at colonial intore-jt ropreaonta 700/. a year.

Under those oiroumstances, and seeing the minimum endowment
(5,000/.) required by the Crown is scoured, I venture to ask your
Grace, if the proposed arrangements have your approval, to take the
requisite steps for obtaining the assent of the Uovcrument, and I
presume your Grace will, at the same time, recommend to the Crown
a fitting person to become the first Bishop of the new See.

I have appended a map, ako showing the boundaries of the proposed
division, and am ready to furnish your Grace or the Government with
any further explanation or details that may be required.

Sir, — I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your
Despatch, No. 49, 26th October, 1864, enclosing the copy of a pro-
posal from the Bishop of British Columbia for the division of that
diocese into two, and the endowment of a new bishopric.

Having submitted the proposal with the accompanying documents
to my executive council, I am of opinion, that a compliance with it
would be in every way beneficial to this colony.

Sir, — I have had the honour to receive your Despatch, No, 38, of
the 26th October, 1864, on the subject of a propoaal made for the
division of the diocese of British Columbia.

2. I should long ago have furnished you with my opinion upon the
project, but that I knew the Bishop would soon return to the colony.
When I saw his Lordship, I promised him, as we did not quite agree,
that I would consider the matter further, for at least a fortnight,
before finally communicating my views to you.

3. Previous however, to the Bishop's return, I had devoted an

anxious oousiderntion to the wholo questioii. 1 oiUled for tlio assistanco
of Buoh luenibci-H of tho executive council as are uuw iu the colony.
Tiioir opiniona I have the iiouour to forward. I am bo reluctant to
oppose arrangements already approved by the Church in England,
that I particularly call your attention to the unanimous condemna-
tion, by my constituted adviserH, of the proposal uiude by the Bishop
of British Columbia. Their opinion, if promulgated, would have the
concurrence, 1 believe, of every inhabitant iu tho colony.

4. Acknowledging at once the advantage which would accrue from
a division of this diocese, and the appointment of an additional
bishop, I regret to say, that I think more harm than good would be
done by carrying out the division in the manner pro])08ed.

6. You are but too well aware of the jealousy existing between the
two colonies on this side of the Rocky Mountains. Tho merchants
and owners of town lots iu Victoria, in the comparatively unimportants^
colony of Vancouver, have drawn nearly all tho share of tho profits ^
of the gold discoveries in this colony, which have not been absorbed
in California. British Cohimbia, the source of wealth, has remained
poor, and imagines itself neglected in every way. Its name was used
as an attraction for capital, which was invested beyond its limits ; its
gold created a demand for a bank whose bead-quarters are in another
colony, for a diocese whose see is iu the rival island. Its treasure
poured forth without leaving a deposit here, and a territory of the^
greatest mineral wealth ran the risk of utter abandonment.

6. The feeling of injustice suffered is diminished here, since the
separation of the two colonies ; yet Victoria still irritates the local
jealousy by affecting, though contributing nothing to the revenue, to
be the capital of British Columbia. The i)roject of Bishop Hills, by
which it is proposed that the seat of the episcopate of British
Columbia should be on Vancouver Island, with just enough of this
territory annexed to justify the retention of the title, would, I feel
convinced, create an amount of hostility in this colony that would
greatly impede the progress of the Church.

7. Bishop Hills himself appears to have recently held tho opinion
I now express. I enclose an extract from the Columbia Mission
Report for 1864. His Lordship acknowledges the rivalry of the two
colonies, and says, " In whichever of the two is fixed the episcopal
seat, an alienation of feeling in the other will be the consequence.
The best interests of religion, as well as good policy, will be served
by yielding to the colonial feeling, and by gathering up all sympathies
in a division of the diocese." But I enclose a portion of the Bishop's
minute.

8. Until Vancouver Island is politically incorporated with British
Columbia^ no division of the diocese can be satisfactorily made which
does not recognise and adhere to the existing territorial limits of the
two colonies.

9. I will not allow myself to follow up the subjects mooted by some
of the executive councillors. Unquestionably, as stated, the religious
destitution of the colony is considerable, and the spirit of rivalry
already alluded to leads people to count the respective membera of

the clergy ou the mainland and ou the outlying island. I must, iu
all justice, however, with the Colonial Secretary, bear testimony to
the noble results of the labours carried on, iu a spirit of humility and
self-denial, by the Roman Catholic missionaries among the Indians.
The reverend fathers, however, devote their lives to the civilization
and salvation of the native races, and do not come across the miners'
path.

10. New Westminster, though it may possibly feel that the epis-
copal seat of the diocese of British Columbia should not be in another
and not over-friendly colony, has little to complain of as regards
attention bestowed on it by the Church of England. The clergy and
laity have worked energetically together, and as high a sense of honour
and morality, as sound a tone, exi <ts in this young town as in any
with which I am acquainted.

11. But in Cariboo, the source of wealth, the centre of life of
the two colonies— the real British Columbia — this winter has seen a
great festival. The three towns on Williams' Creek were dressed iu
flags, and the population turned out into the streets, for it was an-
nounced that several sleighs loaded with squaws were on the road.

Sir, — At the request of the Bishop of Columbia, I have the honour
to forward a letter addressed to you by his Lordship on the subject of
the division of the diocese.

I refrain from commenting upon the views entertained by Bishop
Hills, as I am opposed to the division recommended by his Lordship,

iionour to forward two maps, one (A) representing the division which

hau met the approval of the Archbishop and the Colonial Bishoprics'
(*ouncil, and the other (6) showing the division suggested by Mr.
Seymour.

By the former (A), the present diocese of British Columbia (com-
prising the two colonies) is divided into eastern and western portions
by the natural watershed between the Fraser and the PaciBc, and by
the Gulf of Georgia, the western consisting of North-west Columbia,
together with the islands of Vancouver and Queen Charlotte.

This division (A) gives a fair distribution of area and work, leaves
the chief centres of Indian population with the coal mines and sea-
faring population and interests for the western, while the gold-fields
and agricultural districts are the principal area of population in the
eastern or New Westminster division. North-west Columbia is geogra-
phically and commercially in connexion with Vancouver and Victoria,
not with New Westminster. The Hudson Bay Company's ships, the
navy and trading vessels by which we communicate with it, belong
exclusively to Vancouver, and rail from Victoria to Esquimalt. To
connect these portions ecclesiastically, therefore, is the most practical
arrangement. The only argument advanced in favour of the plan (B)
is, I believe, that the two dioceses would be conterminous with the two
colonies ; but this will cease to apply as soon as the now universally
desired union is effected. It ought not, however, I would respectfully
submit, to prevail in any case against the serious disadvantage it
would entail iipon the spiritual work.

One disadvantage is the great disparity of area, one Bishop having
a diocese 800 miles by 400 or 500, together with an island 150 in
length, while the other Bishop would have only an island 290 by 60.
Another disadvantage would be the inconvenient and oppressive dis-
tribution of work. Besides having to take journeys to the interior,
north, south, and east, 500 miles in each direction, the Bishop of New
Westminster, in order to visit the north-west coast and islands, would
liave to troivel out of his diocese —

Occupying at the least two months each year, and, as the missions
extend, requiring even a second visitation, which could be taken
readily by the Bishop residing in Victoria, whose diocese would ruu
nearly 300 miles in the same direction. Since then the diocese sug-
gested in map (B) is unequal in area, and imposes a needless burden
of labour, expense, and time upon the Bishop of New Westminster,

From these documents it will be perceived that the proposed
division met with the approval of the Governors of both the colonies
included within the original limits of the diocese of Columbia.

Governor Kennedy says, that " it would be in every way beneficial
to the colony : " and Governor Seymour " acknowledges at once the
advantage which would accrue from a division of this diocese and the
appointment of an additional bishop." Mr. Birch, the Officer adminis-
tering the government of British Columbia, writing after an interval
of nearly a year, expresses the opinion that " a division of the diocese,
however arranged, must prove of advantage to the Church in this
colony." But Governor Seymour objects strongly to the manner of
the proposed division ; he goes so far as to say that " more harm than
good would be done by carrying out the division in the manner
proposed." His Excellency does not, however, allege any other reason
for this strongly expressed opinion, than the then existing jealoiisy
between the two colonies of Vancouver and British Columbia. This
reason, the recent arrangement of the Imperial Government, by which
the two colonies are united, entirely removes. There is therefore no
necessity for entering upon its examination. It may, however, be as
well to remark that the jealousy spoken of was not so much between
the two colonies as between the rival cities of Victoria and Kew
Westminster. But even supposing that it was as prevalent in each
colony as Governor Seymour appears to think, still its existence, the
existence of an unworthy and temporary feeling, could be no sufficient
reason for not carrying out the division of the diocese in the manner
proposed, provided it was clearly desirable to do so for reasons of a
permanent and important character. That such reasons exist will be
seen from the letter of the Bishop of Columbia, contained in document
No. 5. But there is, happily, no occasion to pursue this question
further, as Mr. Seymour himself implies that when that political
incorporation of the two colonies shall take place, which has now
been accomplished, adherence to their existing territorial limits will
not be required in order to a satisfactory division of the diocese.

Circumstauces, partly connected with the present commercial condi-
tion of the colonies, and partly of a personal character, have postponed
the appointment of a Sv'ti ond bishop. But the design is not abandoned.
The time is, we hope and pray, not far distant when it may be accom-
plished. For the sake of the more complete organization of tho
mission work of the Church amongst the native Indians, and amongst
the miners and settlers, the residence of a wise and earnest chief
pastor at New Westminster is mtich to be desired.

NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WORK.

The exbi'tioiis of the Eoinan Catholic inissiouaries on behalf of the
Fraser River Indians, which Mr. Seymour mentions, is itself a call
upon English Churchmen not only to increased, but to more sys -matic
exertion ; and the miserable fact quoted by his Excellency as illustra-
tive of the state of morals on Williams' Creek, shows that something
more is needed for promoting the social and religious well-being
of the miners of Cariboo, than the summer visit of one or more
clergymen.

The history of the colonial episcopate is sufficient proof that the
presence of a godly and energetic bishop has, God be thanked, ever
been accompanied by the provision both of the men and the means
ueeded for bringing the Gospel and Kingdom of Christ, with all their
purifying and saving influence, to bear with greater fulness and per-
manency upon the residents in our new and distant colonies. We
therefore earnestly commend to the prayers and exertions of our friends
in England the perfecting of the plan, which has received the approval
alike of home and colonial authorities, for the division of the diocese
of British Columbia.

EXTRACTS FROM THE BISHOP'S JOURNAL.

GRATIFYING PROGRESS.

In their annual statement, the clmrchwardens of Holy Trinity,
New Westminster, say; "We would wish to make the gratifying
remark, that the Church during the past year has been steadily
increasing iu vigorous zeal, unity, and numbers ; and whether we
regard the increase of communicants, the additional seat-holders, or
the enlarged receipts from the regular services, we shall indeed find
ample room for sincere and heartfelt thankfulness."

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

In the churchwardens' report they also say : " The long pending
debt on the Church which was assumed by the Rev. J. Sheepshanks,
has at last been cancelled. We owe this satisfactory result in main to
a recent arrival among us, who considered (to quote his own words)
' it a hard thing that those who, in other respects, have borne the
burden and heat of the day, should also have to bear the brunt of the
expenditure connected with the planting of the Anglican Church iu
this colony.' "

INDIAN GATHERING, VICTORIA.

Mr. Garrett gathered the Indian Chiefs at the mission this after-
noon ; my wife and I went. I addressed them, and explained the
meaning of the Queen's birthday.

Wednesday, May 24. — Queen's birthday. The Governor addressed
the Indians on Beacon HiH.

^if!

Thursdity, May 25. — Tlie Mail steamer iSierra Nevada in early tliiu
morning. At 6 p.m. sailed. Archdeacon Wright and family went
away. My wife and I saw them off.

YALE,

Wednesdayy June 14. — Left New Westminster in the Lillooet ior
Hope and Yale at three o'clock. Rained all the morning and the
whole day incessantly. 212 passengers, many Chinese. There was a
row in the evening, and a white man stabbed a Chinaman, and was
secured. At night we lay to ; there was much noise, and I could get
but broken rest.

Thursday, June 16. — Eain all the morning till about two o'clock.
Reached Hope at about five o'clock. 100 Chinamen left us for the
road to Kootenais. Saw Mr. Laiidwright, churchwarden. Arranged
for Sunday service.

At Emmory's bar discharged 352 sheep, 14 oxen, and some horses.
Our whole freight was about 600 head, of living things, inchiding pas-
sengers — the captain and crew American. We reached Yale at eight
o'clock. Mr. Charles, Hudson Bay Company, Factor, kindly pro-
vided me with accommodation.

TALE — VISITATION.

Friday, June 16. — Visited the Church property with Mr. Sandars,
il)e magistrate and churchwarden. Found the Church a better struc-
ture than I expected.

INDIAN PRAYER.

I asked an Indian to-day if he ever prayed to God ; he said, " That
is in my heart, that is with my heart."

SERVICES — YALE AND HOPE.

Sunday, June 18. — Held service at Yale. The attendance was forty.
The harmonium was played very fairly by the daughter of the school-
master. I had the morning prayer and litany. The collection was
|13. In the afternoon I went by canoe to Hope, where at six o'clock
in the pretty Church of that lovely spot I held service. Hope is now
all but deserted. Still we had eighteen persons, besides a few Indians.

CANOE VOYAGE TO HOPE.

The river at this time is at its height, some twenty feet above the
common level, through the melting of the snow. It is a tremendous
torrent, rushing onwards, carrying in its vast breadth and depth the
waters of many great tributary rivers gathered in its course of nearly
1,000 miles ; at times, whirling and upheaving surges seemed enough
to overset and swallow up in an instant our tiny bark, but with quick,
cool, and unerring eye, our Indian guided us safely through. At
other times there were rapids and canyons, or gorges, along which the
contracted waters rnshcd more fiercely, as if enraged. The famous
and dangerous Emmory rapid and "Hell's-gate" warned us long before
by their roar and din ; at the latter, there was but one passage safe at
this time for the canoe. It was on the opposite side of the stream.

VISIT TO THE LEECH RIVER Mli.SS — SERVICES AT THE MINES. 17

here about a quarter of a mile wide. The current was sweeping us
down at the rate of seven miles an hour. It was necessary to begin
to cross in sufficient time to prevent our being cast upon the rocks in
mid-stream. As we were coming down it seemed as if nothing could
prevent our being smashed to pieces, and we seemed only just to
escape destruction. With our three Indians, however, there really was
no danger. They knew the water and the ground so well, that they
could make the exact calculation necessary to avoid a catastrophe. It
was exciting, however, even to those who bad confidence in the Indian
canoemen ; to others it would certainly be alarming. There is no mode
of transit so pleasant on a fine day as the canoe : there is no concus-
sion, as in a boat with oars, but you glide noiselessly and rapidly along.
We did the fifteen miles in an hour and a half. The scenery was mag-
nificent, as one set of mountains after another, with a variety of new
beauties, opened up to view. The lofty heights, the vast and rapid
stream, the blue vault of heaven, were calculated to impress the soul
with reverential fear, while the flowering shrubs, the dog-wood and
the rose, smiling upon us and perfuming the air, together with the
graceful dress and manner of our Indians, made the scene more
picturesque.

AN Indian's estimate of the Chinese.

On passing, we observed Chinese at work. I remarked they did
not seem to regard the Sunday. The Indian said, " They are wrong,
they ought not to work on Sunday;" and he added, "The Chinaman
has got no heart."

INDIANS AT hope.

I visited many Indian families to-day : some rscoguised me, and
seemed glad to see me as the King George, " La Plate."

Wednesday, June 21. — Returned to Victoria.

Thursday, June 22. — Distributed the prizes at the girls' college.

Friday, June 23.— Distributed the prizes to the boys' collegiate
school. The Governor was present.

VISIT TO THE LEECH RIVER MINES.

Saturday, July 8. — We started about one ; my wife, Mr. Alston,
and myself on horseback, with our saddle-bags, for the Leech Biver
Mines. The road as far as Coldstream, twelve miles, was pretty good.
We rested there an hour, at a wayside house kept by two English
gentlemen, and then entered upon a more difficult path of nine miles,
chiefly through forest, but over swamps, and up and down steep
heights, the trail being such as is common to new and unopened
countries — the first path roughly hewn, precursor to a road. It rained
a good deal. We reached our destination at Leech River Mines just
before dark, having accomplished twenty miles, of which the latter
nine could not be traversed at more than a walking pace.

SERVICES AT THE MIKES.

Sunday, July 9. — This morning we rode to the North Forks of the
Leech, where I held an open-air service. In the afternoon I held

It rained in torrents, but the attendance of

"LONG JIM."

Ih ^:'l

T was told I had a great friend in a miner who went by the name
of "Long Jim." Miners are seldom known except by their nick-
names. He had spoken with indignation at some evil speaking and
slandering which had been indulged in on the subject of Christ Church
Trust property. He thought the Church ought to have tlie Reserve.
So talked " Long Jim." 1 called upon the same individual to-day in
his log cabin. The storekeeper avIio was with nio discoursed elo-
quently upon the excellence of his character. " He was greatly
respected on the Creek, was a steady and very industrious man, always
ready to serve others," Jim was very glad to see me, and not only
came himself, but did all he could to induce others to attend the ser-
vice. Jim was no stranger to me, for ho had been a patient in the
Victoria Hospital. I thought him then a rough and uncouth miner;
he did not attend at first piu'ticularly to the exhortations, but did so
lattei'ly, and I had a conversation with him. He got well and left the
hospital. I never knew his name, and until J saw liis face to-day, was
not awai'e that Long Jim was the patient of the hospital. This is one
of those instances where the woi'k of tlie minister of Christ is more
efi'ectual and blessed than he supposes at the time. We may be
encouraged, by the cases which thus show results, to believe thankfully
in good effects in other instances, though hidden from us. We are of
course encouraged by promises that Cod's word shall not go forth and
return unto Him void. This poor man found blessing in the minis-
trations at the hospital, and now sliows the result in friendly feeling
towards the humble instrument of his good, in zeal for God's service,
and in doing kind acts for others, letting his light shine before men,
even amidst the excitement and exceeding worldliness of a gold-mining
community. I asked his name ; the storekeeper said he really did
not know, the man was always called Long Jim.

BREAK-DOWX OF A STEAMER.

Saturday, August 19. — Embarked to-day on board the Emily
Harris for the consecration of Nanaimo Church, accompanied by
Ai'clideacon Gilson. We ought to have sailed at seven o'clock, but
did not get away till eleven. When off the Bay beyond Cadboro'
Point, our steamer's head was suddenly pointed direct in to the shore.
Something was amiss ; presently the firemen and others were rapidly
drawing out the fire. The lead pipe had failed at its connexion with the
boiler. The fires were therefore put out, and the vessel brought to
anchor. As it might be some time before the necessary repairs could
be effected, I thought it better to come on shore and return to Victoria,
which w-e aid, thankful to have escaped from what was nearly being
a disastrous explosion.

TONE OF MORALS.

Monday, Axigust 2L — The frightful wreck of the Brother Jonathan
steamer, hurried into eternity, amongst others, the wife of the land-

lord of au hotel in one of our towns. This woman had been to San
Francisco, to bring to Victoria a number of wretched creatures, eight
of whom, culled " Ladies " in the list of passengers, were on their way
with her. Six of these, with herself, were cngulphed in the deep.
Crime enough to call down judgment from a holy God ! The husband
of course was privy to the nefarious traffic, and 8ui)plied the money.
The awful stroke determined him to give up his hotel and leave the
place — perhajis conscience hindered his stay. Ho held a leading posi-
tion in an institution popular in America. A gold medal was struck
in his honour. A dinner was given him. A procession of carriages
took him down, as though a public benefactor, to the steamboat, and
hundreds seemed to vie with each other in doing him honour. Such,
alas ! is the tone of morality among a large number in this country.
Moral and religious character is entirely disregarded in tlie estimate of
wortli. Tliis is an element of latitudinarianism ; fi'om indiiference to
distinctive religion, the step has been easy to indifference to morality.
" Unscctarianism " leads to laxity of morals.

CONSECIIATION OP ST. PAUL's CHURCH, NANAIMO.

Saturday, Auguat 2C. — Embarked with my wife and Archdeacon
Gilson at eight o'clock on board H.M.8. Clio, for Nanaimo, A fog
detained us for four hours, and prevented our arrival the same day.

Sunday, A ugust 27. — Reached Nanaimo only just in time for the
morning service. The Rev. Mr. Good had given us up. The attend-
ance at Church was fair — the congregation principally of men. I
preached. There were very few communicants. In the afternoon,
found the Sunday-school in good order, and fairly attended. In the
evening Archdeacon Gilson preached.

VISIT TO THE INDIAN VILLAGE — INDIAN SERVICE.

In tlie afternoon I went with ^Irs. Hills and the Rev. Mi*. Good to
the pretty little Indian Church. Mr. Good said the service in the
Xanaimo language. The people took their part, and chanted responses
in a devout and interesting manner. Talso addressed them. There
seemed to be a real work of improvement amongst these poor Indians.

CONFIRMATION AT NANAIMO — INDIANS CONFIRMED.

Monday, A ur/iist 28. — This evening the Church was again well filled,
and nine candidates were confirmed, amongst whom were four Indian
women, Chymsiuns ; these are all wives of Avhite men. Mr. Good has
taken much pains with them, and their pre-sent improvement is a great
contrast to their former selves.

Tucxday, Awjiid 29. — Met the Church Committee.

Wednesday, August 30. — Returned to Victoria.

TEARING DOWN FENCES OF THE CHURCH RESERVE.

August 31. — This evening, about eight o'clock, a stone came vio-
lently against the house and lodged upon the roof. Some wretched
creature, excited by political agitations, aimed this at the lighted
window of the library where Mrs. Hills and I were sitting, but happily

struck the verandah instead. I sent notice to the police, and was
i)roraii>ed n watch should be set upon the Reserve. During the night,
however, a number of persous succeeded in tearing down the greater
part of the fences, and one man was arrested.

Friday , Septetnber I. — The prisoner was bound over in heavy sure-
ties to keep the peace for six montha We were to have dined at
Government House to-day, but just before going, an intimation was
given me that further depredations were to be committed, so we sent
excuses ; and as the police had failed me last night, I set to work myself
to organize a watch, and have special constables sworn in for the pro-
tection of the Church, my own residence, and the Reserve. We passed
a night of some anxiety.

OUURCH RESERVE EXCITEMENT — MEETING OF THE CHURCH

COMMITTEES.

Monday, September 4. — This evening, by my invitation, the com-
mittees of the churchwardens, and committees of Christ Church and
St. John's, together with the clergy, met at my residence. My object
was to enlist the support and sympathy of the lay membera of the
Church, by giving them the fullest information, and seeking their
counsel. I gave the history of the Reserve, showing its original dedi-
cation to the Church of England, and the steps which I had taken in
support of our rights. The utmost harmony prevailed, thanks were
given for the information, and a vote of approval and support was
passed. The meeting pledged itself to support me.

DESTRUCTION OP TRINITY CHURCH, NEW WESTMINSTER.

Septenrber 6. — By the Enterprise to-day received the sad intelligence
of the destruction of Holy Triuity Church by fire. It commenced
last night, about eight o'clock, in the vestry. Happily the beautiful
peal of bells presented by Miss Coutts, and the tower, were saved.

INDIAN FIGHT.

Sunday, October 1. — After visiting the Indian school this afternoon,
I went, accompanied by the Rev. A. C. Garrett, to visit the Indian
village. We heard a disturbance going on at the Hydah camp. As
we approached, we perceived groups of Indians on the surrounding
heights in a state of excitement. These were songees and others look-
ing on at a fight between rival tribes of Hj'daha. The scene was truly
savage. Naked men, wild and distorted, were raging about and hurl-
ing krge Htones, some with fearful precision, at each other. There
were women wild with fury and screaming, tirging on the fight. We
went into the midst of them, and with some diJHculty got them to
desist. It was an exciting scene as we stood between the combatants,
who continued to gesticulate to each other, their blood freely flowing
from wounds, and their countenances showing passion and revenge to
reign supreme. Mr. Garrett showed great courage and coolness; many
huge stones were dropped at \\\i bidding, and maniacs became calm at
his words. Poor creatures, it was pitiable to see them, as they sobered,
realizing their wounds and showing them to us. A woman brought

her husband to me, whose face, breast, back, and arms, were bedaubed
with blood from many wounds and bruises ; his face was excited with
anger, and in his two hands were 6rm1y grasped heavy stones as large
as he could hold. At length we quieted them, and there were many
voices to be heard as we came away, saying " Good, good." A chief
cause of this excitement, in which probably lives were lost, was drink.

LAYING THE OOnNER-STONB OP THE OIFLS' COLLEGIATE SCHOOL.

Thursday, October 12. — The day was beautiful. We had at luncheon
the Governor, Mrs. Kennedy, and their daughters, and other leadiug
persons of the colony and friends of the Church. A procession was
made, in which the volunteer rifles formed part ; we proceeded to the
ground, a beautiful spot upon the Church Reserve, where a large
number of persons were assembled. Mrs. Kennedy laid the stone.
The service was that usual on such occasions in the diocese. Addresses
were delivered by the Governor, the Chief Justice, and myself. All
went off well, and thjre was a reverent tone in the assemblage, afford-
ing the hope that a good impression had been made. We publicly
asserted the duty of training up the young religiously: the Chief
Justice asserted the principle plainly, and the Governor several times
expressed his adherence to the Church of England. The streets in the
neighbourhood of this college site have been named after the munifi-
cent foundress of the see. Miss fiurdett Coutts.

CONFIRMATION AT BT. JOHN's, VICTORIA.

Sunday, October 22. — I held a confirmation to-day at St. John's,
which was densely filled. The candidates behaved remarkably well,
and from the tone which prevailed, and from the interest manifested,
I trust the occasion has been blessed to many. Several officers and
seamen of Her Majesty'^ ships were confirmed.

VISIT TO COWICHEN.

November 16. — Left Victoria in the Otter; reached Cowichen Bay
about half-past ten o'clock. Rev. A. C. Garrett met me on the wharf.
Went on shore, and visited various settlers until dark. A meeting of
the settlers had been deferred on account of the rain all the morning.
I then went on board the Sparrowhawh, which was anchored in the
bay, where I found comfortable quarters, and, as usual on board Her
Majesty's ships, agreeable society.

"the SPARROWHAWK" — CAPTAIN PORCHER AND CYRBNK

The Sparrowhawk is a larger kind of gun-boat, called usually a
despatch boat, with four guns — one an Armstrong 110-pounder. Her
crew consists of ninety men and officers. The firti lieutenant is a son
of the B' ?. J. Dolphin, of Antingham, Norfolk. Captain Poroher is
well known as a scientific explorer ; he was last engaged at the Cyre-
naica, " the parts of Libya about Cyrene," from whence in the year
1861, iu Association with Captain Murdoch Smith, he obtained many
statues and sculptures of the Greek and Roman period, for the Eritish
Museum. A beautiful and expensive volume, highly illustrated by the

MEKTINQS AT COWICUKN.

Nnvemhcr 17. — Breakfasted at seven o'clock. Left in a boat for i\\e
Cowichen laudiiijj;. Found ]Mr. Garrett wuitiuj;:, but no liorsea ;
walked two miles and met them. Tho early part of the day was tine.
(Crossed Sonienos Lake, and had a meeting of inhabitants at eleven
o'clock, and discussed the c^uestion of the income of tho clergyman;
A eomruittee was formed, and a good feeling was munife.sted : they
agreed to raise 100/. annually. After the meeting I went to tho log-
hut of .1 settler, where a repast of venison and potatoes and tea was
provided. Having recrossed the lake and mounted our steeds, we
made again for the landing, where I pursued the same course at a
meeting of settlers ; all were anxious for a Church, and thankful at the
prospect of a residi-nt clergyman, promising to do their part towards
his income. This good feeling may bo attributed to the zealous exer-
tions of the Rev. A. C. Garrett, who for several years, in all weathers,
has visited the settlement for monthly, and latterly fortnightly ser-
vices, a distance there and back of eighty miles, on each occasion.
Cowichen is an extensive agricultural district in the earliest stage : all
the settlers work hard with their own hands, and are poor, yet several,
though living in log-huts, engaged to give 51. a year towards the
support of a resident minister.

NANAIMO.

Went on shore with Captain Porcher, and about eleven o'clock started
in a canoe maimed by two Indians, of whom one was the well-known
" Jim Seaweed," who speaks English, and often acts as an interpreter.
The heavy rains had greatly swollen the river, and we had stiff work
to stem the torrent; moreover it rained and blew vehemently. At
length we came to a landing-place, from which we had to walk, not
being able to get up further in the canoe against the stream. Mr.
Cave, tho catechist in charge of the settlement, and Captain 'Pryce, a
gentleman staying with him, had given us up, not thinking us rash
enough to battle with the elements.

THR MISSION HOUSE, OOMOX.

The Mission House is situated on n pretty brunch of the Courtenay
river, in the midst of a fine piece of land of about 170 acres boloug-
ing to tlie Church, which will one day bo valuable. The Mission
buildiuys consist of thico rooms on the ground, with a slooping-loft
above. Attached to this is the "chapel, neatly arranged with commu-
nion table, pulpit, and lectern. There is a bell and an ecclesiastical
east window.

BAPTISM OF A CHILD.

I found, from Mr. Cave, that a child about eight months old in a
family a mile and a half off, had not been baptized. It was still pour-
ing with rain, and doubts were cxpre^.!?ed whether we could cross tho
swollen river, beyond which Thcnnpson's house lay, a bridge having
been recently carried away. We learnt, however, that a tree had been
felled for a bridge, though it was uncertain whether it had withstood
tho current. Mr. Cave and I started. The intervening laud was flooded,
and I was frequently above my knees in water. At length we came to
the river, and found the tree, some '200 feet long, still in its place,
although tho waters were raging against it, and causing it to vibrato
as if about to follow the fate of other attempts at a bridge. As tho
branches were still left on, it was difficult occasionally to twist round
them without losing one's balance. We got safely over, and I confess
I felt very doubtful whether we should find the tree to befriend us on
our return.

A SETTIiEU's FAMILY.

In a comfortable log-house with bright firo, I found Thompson and
his family, consisting of his wife and four children. They were very
pleased I had come, and were thankful for the baptism of their child.
He is a good specimen of a Cariboo miner. He went up thither about
three years ago, soon after his arrival, and worked two years for wages,
not speculating, as many do, in eager haste to be rich, and then losing
all, but steadily saving his money.

He brought down to Victoria 200/., sent for his wife and family with
a portion, and with the rest came up to Comox, took up land, built his
house and barn, bought stock, and is now independent, with an excel-
lent piece of land, which he will steadily improve, and upon which he
has twenty-one head of stock already. He is a Presbyterian from tho
north of Ireland, his wife a communicant of our Church, brought up
in Canada. They both attend the Mission service. He walked back
with us to see us safe over the log and the torrent (the log was washed
away shortly afterwards) : though wet through from the constant
wading, I returned to the Mission, thankful for the opportunity of
ministering to a worthy family.

SQUALLS.

After partaking of damper and tea, we again set off to return. The
current of course helped us on our way considerably, but towards tho
lower part of the river, where it was exposed to the sea, the wind and
waves were so turbulent, that Captain Porcher thought it best to get

out of tho cauoe and walk to the village. In returning to the ship,
about a mile and a half off, we encountered some extrnordiiiary
squalls and gusts, which twice knocked the oar out of the coxswain's
hand. The sea was blown up into the air in spray forty or fifty feet
high all about us ; one squall came on right in front, another imme-
diately after oame from directly behind, so variable and violent were
tho effects. Uf course we were perfectly safe in the life-boat, with
four able seamen and their captain, and it was therefore interesting to
observe the phenomena; bat no Indian canoe could have lived, and
though there were goods to send on board, no canoe would venture
off.

NEED OF THE OOHPEL.

In this district, besides the European settlera, there are 130 Indians.
Some of the settlers are steady and thriving people ; others, alas ! are
quite the contrary. I visited the house of a settler who lives witli an
Indian wife ; ho was intoxicated ; a neighbour told mo he had known
the man three years, and had never seen him sober except for one
month. Another had lately got a little money, and now, as his custom
was, stayed about the liquor-shop till he had drunk it out. A Protestant
Irishman who had met me at the mines in Cariboo, offered us a drink
of punch. Many settlers live with Indian women : such is the fall of
several sons of respectable English families. Nothing can be more
melancholy than the history and example of cases such as these, of
which there are not a few. Then the poor Indians are close observers
of all this depravity in the stronger race. Truly is it pressing upon
England to maintain a better witness, by the ministries of the Gospel
in which she boasts, that the only counteracting influence may be at
work, and some of both Indians and her own children be saved as
brands plucked from the burning. An earnest clergyman placed here
would be a great blessing.

MEN-OF-WAR AMD THE INDIANS.

November 23. — To-day we turned our faces homewards ; we stopped
on our way at the Euolutaw village, on Cape Mudge, now deserted.
Not an Indian was to be seen. Here was the scene of an attack by a
man-of-war a short time ago, and we found a 321b. shot. These
attacks, not always judiciously made, have produced upon the Indians
an impression of excessive fear. They now fly and hide away at the
sight of a man-of-war. I remember the time when they would come
out in their canoes and show interest and friendliness as soon as King
George's man-of-war oame near their villages, regarding us not as foes,
but as friends.

A BOISTEROUS NIGHT.

Friday, November 24. — Last night, about five o'clock, it came on to
blow hard, with rain. The sea arose, and the night was pitchy dark.
The ship occasionally refused to steer, and got off her course ; when
land was last seen, we were off Cape Lazo ; we were in a channel not
very wide, and no anchorage near. A third boiler was lighted, and
full steam-power kept on to keep the ship's head right. It was as

mnoh 08 we could do t > prevent buiii^ driven bnok. The ship pitched
nnd rolled, the wind roared, and the rain pelted ; and the danger was
lest we should be driven out of our courae, and wrecked upon the
rocka on either Hide. After midnight, happily, the wind nbated, and
we lay to till daylight, and then found we wore still off Cape Lazo.
It was one of those occasions when we were led to feel how powerless
man is for his own protection. We wore tossed about, the sport, as it
were, of the wild waves and wind. The darkness blinded us, and the
helm refused to do her part. Thanks be to God, all is bright again to<
day, the sun shines out in its strength, and we arc spared to set forth
the glory of God yet the more for all His mercies' sake. At daylight
we sailed from Cape Lazo, had a successful passage, and reached
Esquimau at eight o clock in the evening (120 miles), and wore by my
own fireside by half-pnst nine o'clock

CONSECRATION OP CHRIST CHURCH, VICTORIA.

Thur-xlay, December 7. — To-day I consecrated Christ Church, Vic-
toria, which, although erected in 1856, could not be legally r;onveyed,
as we had only recently become possessed of the title-deeds of the land.
Archdeacon Gilson preached. Governor Kennedy and family were
present, as also Lord Guildford, and Captain Coode, of H.M.S. SutleJ.
After service Mr. Cridge whs appointed Dean, took the oaths, and was
collated. Christ Church, enlarged and renovated, has become, for the
present, the Cathedral of the Diocese.

VISIT TO NEW WESTMINSTER — CONFIRMATION.

My wife and I went by the Enterprise to-day to New Westminster,
and were hospitably received at Goverument House by Mr. Birch, tho
officer administering the government.

Sundai/, December 10. — Preached in the morning at tho temporary
Church. Held a confirmation at St. Mary's, Sappertou, in the after-
noon. Preached again in the evening.

Wednesday, December 13. — Returned to Victoria.

MEETING OP CLERGY — CHURCH SYNOD.

Friday, January 5. — Amongst other subjects discussed at a meeting
of the clergy to-day, was that of synodical action, in the desirability
of which all agreed. Some present wished a distinct resolution passed
to carry out the object at an early day, but it was considered we were
not in a position at present even to take this step. In a short time it
was hoped the diocese would be divided, and then both dioceses might
move together. It was agreed that the course of proceedings should
be to call first the clergy together, then the clergy and laity — to a con-
fer ence, then a synod. The Archdeacon said this had been the process
in Montreal.

HE GOOD SAMARITAN.

January 9. — Mr. Klli jt, the magistrate of Lillooet, dined with me
to-day. We were speaking of the small-pox, which had visited the
colony two or three yeai^s ago. Three or four hundred Indians have
died of it in the neighbourhood of Lilloout. There was placed tho

NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MISSION WOUK.

Rev. L. C. Brown. Though not without fear of the disorder, and
being in delicate health, yet, as a matter of duty, he freely visited the
poor afflicted creatures, and did what ho could for them, both Indians
and whites. On one occasion he found a ^lexican lyini? in the bnsli,
deserted by friends and left to die. He brought him into his own log-
hut, consisting of one room, and there attended him. Shortly after, a
Spaniard was found equally destitute. He brought him ulso into his
ouiy apartment, and tended these two cases till they recovered.
Mr. Brown -was remarked for his earnest pursuit of what was riu'lit ;
nothing would turn him from the strict lino of duty. He would
often speak out fearlessly against vices which society was too ready to
overlook, and found much opposition in consequence. Ho lived at
length to bear down this opposition, and to possess the respect of all.
Such an instance as the above raised him greatly in public estimation.
Rough men that had tossed their heads in scorn, now gave him the
recognition of respect. During his frequent visits and nursing of the
small-pox sick, he did not open the Churcii for service, lest he might
communicate the contagion, but -when he did open it, all came to the
house of God. Desperate characters who had never been seen there
before, now attended. Such was the force of a holy example.

IXDIAN PROGRESS.

]VednesfIap, January 2.3. — A young Indian woman brought a letter
from Mrs. Good, the clergyman's wife at Nanaimo ; she has come to
Victci'ia to service : she has lived two years with Mrs. Good. She can
understand English, and can speak the language tolerably. She has
been baptized and confirmed. Her anxiety, she told us, was to take
no situation in which she could not carry out her I'eligious duties.
She had learned that the fiiniily into which she was going did not
attend Church, and she came to consult us. " I should not like to
go anywhere but to our own Church," she said. She went back, and
made an agreement before engaging herself, that she might go to
Church at least once on the Sunday, and to the Sunday-school.

SERVICE.S — GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTEH-DAY.

Gnnd Friday, March 30. — The best congregation I have ever seen
on a Good Friday here ; it was very nearly as large as the usual Sun-
day congregation — a sign of improvement.

EasUr-day, April 1. — The weather delightful. A very full congre-
gation at the Cathedral ; the largest number of communicants I ever
remember. I preached again at St. John's in the evening, where there
had also been a great increase of communicants. On the whole, we
may be thankful for decided progress in the general tone of the con-
gregations. Our Lent work has been effectual, and God has blessed
it, may we hope, to the saving of souls.

THE TELEGRAPH TO VICTORIA.

April 24. — The important and desirable connexion between the
Atlantic and V^ictoria was completed to-day. ' Congratulatory messages
were exclianged by Governor Kennedy and the President of the United

INDIAN IDEA OF PUAYEU.

Suvday, April 29.' — An Indian Christian was asked, at the school,
to-day, what was his idea of prayer. He said, "If my canoe was
upset and broken, and there was a strong man standing on the rock. I
should call out to hiin to help me ; so we poor creatures call to God,
who is strong and kind ; and that is prayer."

FIIUIT OF SEED SOWN".

Several years ago an Indian woman who was living with a white
man came to the Mission desirous of b(!ing instructed in Christian it j'.
She had learnt to see her sin, and had separated from the man. He
also became impressed with a sense of shame. For some months she
took great pains, and became a catechumen for baptism, and was ulti-
mately married by Christian rites. She has steadily improved, and
has made her husband a good wife. There were in the school to-day
two instances of her good influence. One was a youth who had been
instructed by her at Douglas, where for several years she has been
living. He is a steady applicant for Christian teaching, and regularly
attends the school. The other case was one similar to her own. The
woman stated she had seen the good obtained at the school by
Mrs. Hughes, and she wished to follow in the steps she had pursued.
She appears very anxious to amend her life, and to be instructed in
Christianity.

A YOUNG INDIAN CHIEF.

We had to-day, at the school, the son of the chief of !Massetts, a
tribe of Queen Charlotte's Island, where we are anxious to open a
Mission. The young man had been brought by a young Christian
Indian, a Chymsian whom I baptized in 1863.

The Chymsians and the Hydahs are usually hostile. Here an
interest in the Gospel had united the two ; the young Christian, having
found Christ, brought not his brother, but his enemy, and they sat
together as the lion and the lamb. The young Hydah chief told me
his heart was anxious we should come and teach his people about
Christ, as Mr. Duncan had taught the Chymsians.

SUPPLY OF CLKUGY.

A friend in England tells rne, he finds it impossible to get superior
clergy for the JNIission, and thinks we must bo content with persons of
inferior stamp and education. I can understand his difficulty from my
own experience. The best men, or indeed good men, do not offer them-
selves usually in answer to advertisements. 1 am, however, quite sure we
cannot successfully plant the Church with inferior men. Our colonists
are people above the average in intelligence ; and those not of our own
stock, or those who have lived long in the States, have learnt to

despise religion, because of the inferiority of the ministers they have
too often seen in connexion with it.

There is plenty of material in England for supplying both the
Home and Colonial Ministry. There are multitudes of youths, sons of
the same class from which the ministry is now principally drawn, who
would go on from the Grammar Schools to the University, if the
means were provided. These youths, sons of clergy, half-pay officers,
and other well-educated persons, now go into offices as clerks, where
the utmost they can expect to reach, after many years, is an income
of two or three hundred pounds. Open the door of University
education to these, aud ample will be the supply of clergy. The
Scholarships of old did this for the Church. Such a means would also
enable promising youths of even the working-classes to rise and reach
the highest offices, with all the advantages of the best education.

CRUISE TO THE NORTH.

Wednesday, May 2d. — Sailed this morning in H.M.S. Spatrow-
hawk ; at ten o'clock we reached San Juan, the island at present in
dispute, aud where we have a company of British troops ; we reached
Nanaimo at half-past seven, and went on shore.

Thursday, May 3d. — Inspected the parsonage, church, school, and
Indian chapel ; visited several Indian families. They all expressed
regret at the loss of Mr. Good : the Indians are better behaved here
than in many places.

FORT RUPERT.

Monday, May 7th. — Arrived at Fort Rupert, 250 miles from
Victoria, situated on the south of a beautiful bay, at the entrance of
which are several islands, one of which is called Shell Island, from its
white shores of clam shells, and is a burial-ground of the Indians.
The Hudson's Bay Company's agent received us at the beach, and we
went into the quaint stockaded fort, with four bastions, the one type
of the Company's trading stations from Hudson's Bay to the Pacific.
There are very few Indians here at present, many being away at their
fishing-stations. A Dorsetshire man, with an Indian wife and family,
has not been away from the fort a siugle day for thirteen yeara.
Amongst other employes of the Company was an Iroquois, a half-breed
from Canada, also a Kanaka, a Sandwich Islander, both with Indian
wives and families.

Wednesday, May 9th. — Went on shore with Captain Porcher. The
wind being high, it was difficult to land ; had to wade a short distance ;
went about the Indian houses, and spoke to the people. Since I was
here, three years ago, the Roman^Catholics have sent Missionaries, who
visit Fort Rupert occasionally, and they have put up a wooden house,
twenty-eight feet by twelve, part of which is a chapel ; they have not
made any progress amongst the people, who still ask for Missionaries
of the Church of England. Alas that we should find so much
difficulty in supplying true-hearted labourers, content to live in the
simplest manner, and patiently to wait for the harvest after seed-time !

ARRIVAL AT METLACATLA — SERVICE AT METLACATLA.

INDIAN AOBNT AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Thursday, May lOth, — Arrived at Bala Bala, 101 miles from Fort
Rupert. The Indian agent came on board, and informed Captain
Porcher that he had arrested a liquor-trader. He thinks the traffic
can be stopped ; he says the Indians know of the ill effects upon their
race, and have acquiesced in the propriety of its suppression; be
thinks a man-oi-war should go round and tell the Indians nut to
continue their " hiting " custom. Part of the " medicine work "
encourages certain sorcerers to seek human flesh ; and cruelty and
murders are the result. He thinks they would give it up if told by
authority to do so.

SCENERY.

Friday, May llth. — Day fine and bright. We steamed ninety-five
miles through a succession of channels, from one to two miles wide,
with waters almost fathomless, and placid as a lake. One exception
was for a few miles of ocean-swell in passing the open Pacific in
Milbank Sound. Eising abruptly, sometimes in broken ranges, and
sometimes in threatening perpendicular grandeur, the mountainoui
heights enclosed our course, covered with dense forest, and hoary with
winter snow. Innumerable waterfalls,- —some like white threads mark-
ing the mountain side, and others thundering in majestic volume
with cascades, one over the other, down a thousand feet, — came rushing
and foaming into the depths below. Occasionally might be seen the
desolating track of a tremendous avalanche which had laid prostrate
and flattened the whole forest of lofty pines on a width of two
hundred feet, and a thousand in length.

ARRIVAL AT METLACATLA.

Saturday, May \2th. — Eeached Metlacatla at three o'clock, having
come ninety miles. Mr. Duncan came off in a canoe manned by
twelve Indians, full of euihiisiasm about his work.

SERVICE AT METLACATLA.

Sunday, May I5th. — Having performed Divine service on board th*
Sparrowhawk, I went on shore, accompanied by Captain Porcher and
Dr. Comrie. Being anchored a mile and a half from the village, and
the wind contrary, we were some time in reaching our destination.
Qreat improvements have taken place, since my visit in 1863. A neat
row of houses faces the beach. At one end is the bastion, with flag-
staff, the Mission House, and a large school chapel. From that end
another street of houses extends at right angles to the former, facing
another very pretty bay. Groups of well-dressed Indians were waiting
to receive us : with many of the men I shook hands, having baptized
most of them, and I was glad to find amongst them their chief, Paul
Legaic. The great octagon was well filled. It was a thankful sight
to behold the clean, neat, and orderly flock gathered with a devotional
object to the Christian house of prayer. In a front row were ten
young girls, all with English Bibles in their hands, as modest and

devout as could be seen in any village church of Old England. I was
glad to see many children, and never have I seen better behaved ones
anywhere. Tlio first hymn was in English, "How sweet the name of
Jesus sounds ! " I then said some prayers, and Mr. Duncan then said
the Litany in Chymsian, after which a hymn in that language was
sung. I then gave an address, and concluded with a prayer and the
blessing. It was pleasing to hear the forvc;nt Amons, both to tlie
English and (Jhynisian prayers, and also the responses to the Lituny
universally made. We afterwards walked round the village, and
adirired the gardens which are attached to each house.

I -il

HYMN AND CHANT SINGING.

In the evening, the ten young girls of the Institution came and
sang some sacred hynnis and chants. They sang the To Deum in
Chymsian ; "Judge me, Li>rd ;" '^ God, be merciful to us," and several
others, very sweetly, modestly, and with devotion. At prayers, they
all read, in turn, out of the Bible, a portion which I selected. After-
wards, the Evening Hymn was sung. At half-past nine o'clock we
left the Mission, and a canoe manned by fi.vo Indians brought us to
the siiip at ten o'clock.

CCUIOUS SUPERSTITION.

Monday, May 14. — Lequun, a chief, who had been to New West-
minster on the charge of murder, and had been brought back with us
in consequence of the witnesses not having appeared against him, was
liberated to-day. In connexion with this man, a curious superstition
was revealed. A complaint had been made to Mr. Duncan, that a
Fort Simpson chief had exhumed the body of the chief of another
tribe named Kitbrone, and treated it in a way to cause trouble to the
minds of the relatives.

It appears that Lequun, before he was taken prisoner by the Clio,
had taken certain steps to fortify himself with bravery for the occasion ;
he had boasted he cai-ed notliing for the raan-of war, and that if tlie
captain came near him he would kill him. It is probable the Indian
cliief would gladly have died himself, if he could only have had the
glory for a brief period of having killed a great white chief. When
a party of seamen cime to his house, he had painted himself in war-
like fashion, and lay hid in a cot, out of which he sprang, with gun in
hand, expecting to frighten tlie King George men ; but half a dozen
rifles, instantly levelled and pointed at his head, etloctually convinced
him into a quiet surrender. To render himself invincible, he had
tried the arts of sorcery by placing a piece of cloth upon tlie head and
stomach of the bud}' of the Skeena chief, anticipating this, and the
incantations which had attended it, would give him a charmed life
under every circumstance. He was taken to Xew Westminster, and,
after a few weeks, sent a message to his brother at Fort Simpson, to
say the charm was inctfectual, was producing ulcers iu his side, and he
begged the cloth might be taken from the dead body, and its bad in-
fluence counteracted. The brother proceeded with his tribe to the
place of btirial, exhumed the body, took from it the piece of cloth.

PAUL LKGAIC — TlIK WAVEllEll S RKTUHN.

poured rum into tho mouth, and performed other ceremonies. It was
tliis treatment the friends complained of. I heard the chief examined ;
lie apf)eared fully to believe in the superstition ; lie pleaded the bad
effect the rags were producing upon his brother (600 miles away), and
very rehictaiitly paid a compensation of ten blankets to the friends of
the decea.^ed.

THE YOUNG gi;:ls in the mission house.

I had observed, on Siniday, a row of well-behaved and devout young
girls with Bibles in their hayds. As I gave out my text, they found
the passage.

On Sunday evening, I heard them read tho Bible, and they sang
chants and hymns, sonic in English, and some in Chymsian. To-day,
I examined several of them iu reading, and was much pleased by tho
accurate and devout manner in which they read the word of God.
How great a change is this from their condition even three years ago !
One of the difficulties of Mr. Duncan, when at Fort Simpson, was the
corruption of the youth of the female sex, through tlie evil influence of
their heathen homes, and the association at times with depraved
whites. All his first girls, who promised well, and upon whom he
bestowed great pains, were led into evil courses, and became depx'aved
and lost. Ho saw the necessity of removing them away from the
neighbourhood of the vortex of vice, and of establishing a home for
girls.

This has been the successful experiment of Motlacatla, in no depart-
ment of which has the blessing of God been more marked than in this
work undertaken for the benefit of the girls of the village. Mr.
Duncan felt there was much inconvenience in the want of femJe
supervision, and the possibility of remark ; bnt all this he resolved to
bear, in order to carry out the essentials of his plan — Christian and
industrial training in the best sense.

The^e were to be the future mothers of a new generation. Already
has he seen one set go forth from the institution well and respectably
married to young men who had proved worthy of the Christian pro-
fession.

Those now in the institution are the second set, several of whom are
about to be married, and there are others waiting to come and supply
their place. So great is Mr. Duncan's influence, that none are married
without his consent, and he is entirely trusted by the parents. Con-
stantly is he applied to by the many young men who desire this or
that one for a partner ; and not a little interesting, if jiot amusing,
are the accounts he can relate of the care and watchfulness with which
he guards the tender plants from too early or ill-advised exposure
to the blasts and storms of the vovage of life.

PAUL LKGAIC — THE WAVEHKil's RIOTUUN.

I visited, to-day, Paul and Lydia Legale, whom I baptized iu 1863.
Paul is the head chief of all the Chymsian tribes. Great was the
sacrifice he made to become a Christian. From being rich and
powerful, Avithout occasion to labour for his food, he became poor and

despised, and compelled to work for his daily bread. Often has ho
been tempted by bribes to return.

There atauds still the lofty column of his tribal rank at Fi<rt
Simpson, before the spacious lodge where once he held his feasts and
orgies of sorcery ; for he was chief and sorcerer too.

He has not been without his inward tcmptings also. A few months
ago he gatliered the men of Mt^tlacatla, aud told them he must go
away, he must return to his former life. The canoe waited upon the
beach — many came down to see him off: they had been taught from
infancy to regard him with respect; many were sorrowful, some
wavered.

He spoke to them from the canoe ; he t^aid he was going to leave
them ; he conld not help it, he was puVud away ; he knew he was doing
wrong ; he knew it would be worse for him ; perhaps he should perish
for ever, but still he must go ; tears came into his eyes ; he wept as he
shook them all by the hand, and his canoe soon disappeared from
sight.

I heard of all this, soon after it happened, from a devout Indian at
Victoria, who, after describing the scene, said the Christian Indians
held a great talk amongst themselves about it, and the general im-
pression was, that Legaic would return. He himself thought so
strongly. I was therefore most anxious to know the result, and, to
my joy, I found that such had been the case. Legaic had not pro-
ceeded beyond a few miles when he turned his canoe inshore, and
landed, and there underwent a night of misery, such, he said, as no
words can describe; he would die a hundred deaths, and not all would
reach the amount of suffering he experienced in that night of remorse.
He wept before his God, and prayed earnestly for pardon. On his
return, he came to the Mission House, Mr. Duncan received him
purposely, at first, with coldness, but soon found him in the deepest
distress and misery, entreating his pity and forgiveness. He has since
been most earnest, and it is hoped, through God's help, he will now
go forward without halting in his Christian course. Legaic is indus-
trious, and gains a good livelihood now; he lives in a comfortable
house of his own building, with good glass windows, and a verandah.
Chairs were set for visitors, and we had much talk about the Mission,
and the work, and the tribe. His only child, Sarah, is one of the
most promising girls of the Mission House.

SINGING OP CHRISTIAN INDIANS — AMUSEMENTS.

The Indians have but one monotonous tune of their own, yet they
are capable of as full use of the voice as Europeans. The young
people of the Mission House sang to-night various secular pieces,
*' Home, sweet Home," in Chymsian ; " God save the Queen," " Tell
me, little Bird," "Buttercups and Daisies," " White Sand and Grey
Sand," " See our Oars with Feathered Spray," «fec. Their i)ronunciation
of English was very good. Mr. Duncan, while teaching his people to
be devout and earnest, encourages every rational and cheerful amuse-
ment; there are gymnastic bars and swings, boys play at marbles and
ball as eagerly as boys do anywhere.

. FORT SIMPSON — A OOT^TRAST.

Tufuday, May 15. — I^ft Mctlacatla about seven o'clock, reached
Fort Simpson at half-past nine o'clock — (seventeen miiea)— went on
shore with Captain Porcher. Passed through groups of most savage-
looking Indian.s, clad in K)ose blanketn, some with faces blackened,
others jiainted flaming red ; the sight was a strange contrast with the
people of the same tribe in tho Christian village of Metlacatla I went
into many of their houses, and sat with groups gathered round the
firt's; women with blackened faces, and men nearly naked, sat i» rings.
Oroups of children, ragged, filthy, and almost naked, dispersed and
hid themselves as we appi'oached,

IN.MATES OP THK FORT.

Besides about a thousand Indians at Fort Simpson, there are the
European inmates of the fort, who carry ou the Hudson's Bay Company
fur trade, in number probably twenty. A missionary i^, much needed
in this place.

A LAPSr.D CHRISTIAN SEKKING RESTORATION.

James Leeguneeah, a chief I had baptized in 1863, left Metlacatla
about six months afterwards. Ho sought me out to-day, and said he
was deeply j)onit('nt for his past sins, and was trying earnestly to serve
God, and to follow the commands of Christ. *' I think now my heart
is new again, and I pray to God, and to Jesus, to pardon my sins; if
i am allowed to come back to Metlacatla, I promise to do right, and
to be strong towards God." I spoke earnestly to him, and said how
sorr}"- and grieved I was. 1 read to him the words he had said to me
before his baptism, and showed how God had witnessed his fall, and
was justly angry with him. I exhorted him to earnest prayer and to
perseverance, that he might in a new life give full proof of the reality
of his penitence. He was anxious to come back at once, and seemed
to think his present exclusion from the Christian community to be a
loss, as theugh he were given over to Satan. We were not, however,
satisfied with the proof of his sincerity.

STRUCK UPON A ROCK.

Wednesday, May 16. — We left Fort Simpson harbour about half-past
seven o'clock, and in the entrance of Chatham Sound struck upon a
rock nine feet submerged. I was in my cabin, and the cmsh seemed
as if the whole bottom of the ship immediately under me was broken
through. We were going full speed at the time. The captain, master,
and pilot were all on the bridge the moment we struck. After having
arranged a few things for necessary use in case there might be occasion
to abandon the ship hastily, I went on deck. We were hard and fast
upon the rock; the engines were reversed, but without effect. Happily
it was low water, and the tide would rise twenty feet, so that we were
likely to float off in due time. Happily also, there was no wind, and
the sea was calm, and we had the day before us. Of course, we could
not tell, what might be the extent of the damage. In an hour and a

half the tide lifted us, and we were afloat again. We have much to
be thankful for, this being one of those accidents which often prove
fatal to the ship, and to life. 1 observed the gravity of demeanour in
the crew, who were engaged in using all expedition to get the ship otf.
The captain was cool and quiet. The poor pilot, wlio was really to
hlnuie, an American, was much troubled, and said he wished he had
never come. We reached Metlacatla at half-past two o'clock.

DAILY EVENING SERVICE.

Every evening the church bell tolls for service ; to-night the rain
came down in torrents, yet the villagers were seen coming out of thcii-
houses, an. wending their way to the House of God. In addition to
prayers, and a hymn in Chymsiau, a portion of Scripture is read aud
explained. I counted 150 at the service, which lasted three-quarters

PUMPS AT WORK.

THE GABDKNS AT METLACATLA.

The situation of Metlacatla is very beautiful : the word means an
inlet which lias an outlet. Several islands to the west and south shut
in tlie village from the main waters of Ciiatham Sound. These
islands are ancient sites, once occupied by nine different Chymsiau
tribes, abandoned about thirty years ago, when the Hudsou's Bay Com-
pany established their fort at Fort Simpson, whither the tribes then
migrated. For ages the people had dwelt upon the islands aud the main
of Metlacatla, and it was a fortunate place in wl»ich to fix the Mission,
invested as it is with so many old associations. The present vdlage is
situated upon the main laud, and the other sites are turned into
gardens, which I visited to-day, numbering about 150. We found
many of the owners, men, women, aud children, planting potatoes iu
the deep rich soil, the accumulation of centuries. Their present seed
has sprung from a ton I brought up in 1863. Looking at these
garden islands from the Mission, the beholder is impressed with the
order and industry of the settlement ; the sun to-day was bright ; fleecy
clouds chased each other beneath the blue expanse, and a balmy air
refreshed the scene. How different, thirty years ago, was this spot !
Then heathenism, iu all its terror, held dark dominion. Beneath the
soil of the garden of the Mission House many skulls and human bones
were found; but this was not the burial-place of the Chymsians: these
were the bones of slaves murdered on feast days, to show power and
wealth. It used to be a saying that every chief's house was planted
on dead bodies of slaves. Now all is changed. No sound of heathen
revel or dark magic is ever heard in Metlacatla. The Cross of the
Prince of Peace surmounts the chief building, which is the House of
God ; and the church bell daily draws glad hundreds of Christian
Indians to the worship of the sanctuary. The desert begins to blossom
as tho rose, and the wilderness to become a fruitful field!

EXAMINATION OF CATRCRUMENS.

SaturJftif, May 19. — Yesterday and the day before I was examining
catechumens for baptism, which I continued this morning, from an
early hour, till twelve o'clock at night. I was assisted by Mr. Duncan
and the liev. A. Doolan. My examination was based of course upon
the baptismal questions ; my object being to ascertain, first, the extent
and sincerity of their repentance, — siecondly, their amount of know-
ledge of the chief parts of reliffiova befie/, and of their practical and
personal application of the same, — and thirdly, as to full pm-pose of
living consistently, counting the sacrifices to be made.

I satisfied myself upon ali these points, and I can say that, con-
sidering circumstances, I should not have required more prepai-ation
for adult baptism than I found in these earnest applicants from the
Indians of the West.

ANXIETY FOR BAPTISM.

The hall and the outside of the Mission House were beset the whole
day long with candidates. Some had been seven hours waiting for
their turn to be examined, and at midnight several had to be sent
away.

EXAMINATION CONTINUED.

». Whit-Smulay, Maij 20. — Continued till one o'clock examining can-
didates. Having had Holy Oommunion at eight o'clock, 1 thought it
better to defer the morning service rather than leave any unseen.
I went on till T could proceed no longer. Tlie close application for
several days to this one anxious work began to tell upon my powers
of attention. I was wearied out, delightful and interesting though
the work was to my heart. How could it be otherwise, when I knew
what these Indians had been a few years before, and what I now saw
and heard as the effect of God's Word and God's grace 1

BAPTISM OP SIXTY-FIVE ADULT INDIANS.

Whit-Sunday, May 20. — A day of Pentecost, truly. At one o'clock
all were ti^jsembled in the large building used for the Church. The
Rev. A. Doolan officiated as deacon. The service began by a hymn
in Ohymsian ; then the Litany in the same tongue was said, to which
the responses were devoutly, audibly, and universally made by the
congregation. Another hymn introduced the baptismal service. The
Scripture and my addresses were interpreted by Mr. Duncan. The
candidates came up reverently, one by one, and after each had retired
they devoutly knelt down in their place for a period in private prayer.
I Viaptized them in the Chymsian tongue. Twenty-nine men and
thirty-five women were admitted by the sacrament of baptism into
the Church, and I truly believe most of them were sincere and intelli-
gent believers in Christ. God's Holy Spirit without doubt came
down plc"teously this day : we had not the sound of a rushing
mighty wind, nor the demonstration of tongues ; but we had, we may
not doubt, the outpouring of spiritual gifts upon many souls in
answer x) the fervent prayer of believing hearts.

NOTES AND INOIMENTH OP MlHSlo.M WOUK.

BAPTIHM OF A SIOK CATEOBUMBN.

I went to-day, nt the urgent desire of the sick man liimself, to Hee
Kittackamieensh, who had been ill fourteen months, and who mi^ht
not live many weeks longer. He was laid upon a comfortahlo bed
swung from the beam, and was clean and neat in his dress — a new Hij.'ht
for the interior of an Indian house. I examined the sick man as to
his penitence, faith, and purpose, according to. the ({ueHtious in the
baptismal service. Ho made satisfactory answers. He said he trusted
in Jesus, and had been long looking for baptism. It was pleasing to
see his devout manner, and humble yet thankful look. Tliero were
about twenty persona in the room, which was very large, and all
joined reverently in the responses. I baptized him by the name' of
Hezekiah ; he was about forty-five years of age •

BAPTISM OP LOOD-ZKA-CHEEOOST, TQE MURI'EREIt.

In 1862 a murder was committed by three Indiiuis upon two white
men. The Devastation ship-of-war arrived at the Indian village an'd
demanded the murderers. The Indians gave up two, as by their law
a life was the compensation for a life : nothitig would induce them to
give up the third. Even force was used, but they could not be
induced to violate their own ideas of justice. The sliip-of-war had no
sooner departed, when the third murleier, Lood-zai-cheeonst, a heathen, *
came to Metlacatla and gave himaeli' up to Mr. Duncan, saying, " I
know you will tell me what is right ; if you say I must give myself
up to the man-of-war, I will." Mr. Duncan Siiid, " You are guilty,
therefore you ought to do so." For six months the man remained
a voluntary prisoner, and when the Deva»lati<m (fame up in 1863 the
canoo which came off with Mr. Duncan brought also on bourd this
man a prisoner, to be taken to New VVestminster to be tried for his
life. The scene was touching when his wife and children came to bid
him farewell, and she earnestly besought Mr. Duncan, the captnin, or
myself, to say some one word which migiit give her a ray of hope.
He was taken to New Westminster, and it was found that he had
been drawn into the murder through fear; he had protested against
it, but when one of the others had fired and killed one white man, he
was impelled by fear lest the others might now turn upon him, and
joined in killing the second, but succeeded in preventing his cum-
panions pursuing the third white man, who was in their power. All
these circumstaucea came out, and he was pardoned. After his release
he came to dwell at Metlacatla, and now I have admitted him, a
sincere and humble believer in Christ, into the Christian Church.
When he entered the room to be examined he knelt down and offered
a silent prayer.

While speaking of his sins he showed emotion and covered his face.
Amongst other answers, these are some of his words : " I repent very
much of my past sins ; I remember my sins before Jesus." I asked
why Christians were not afraid to die ; he said, " Faith in Qod will
make us not afraid to die." I baptized him Jeremiah ; he is about
forty years uf age. His wife was not less satisfactory iu the testimony

she gave of a true conversion to God, and was added by baptism at
the ijame time with her htisbaud to tlie fold of Christ.

BAPTISM OF WAH-DEE-MKESH, AGE ABOUT FOKTY-FIVB, NEXT TO

A OUIKP IN llANK.

Wah-deo-raeesh came amongst the first to be examined. He had
been -about four years under instruction. His manner was devout,
r Hsked liim why ho wished to be Ixiptized. Auswei'. Ijecause my
heart is turned to CJod ; 1 have been very bad.

Q. Uo you pruy to (Jod, and what do you say 1 A. I pray to God
to pity me for Jesus Christ's sake. We are saved fur Jesus' sake.

Q. What did Jesus do for us? A, He died on the Cross. He is
now taking away our sins.

Q. VVIiere is He t A. Jesus is at the right hand of God.

Q. When wo are tempted and weak, how are we to keep from sin 1
A. God doe's with us as we do with our gardens ; He works in us to
grow good.

Q. What will happen to us after death? A. If we are truly con-
verted, wo shall go to the Father,

Q. Will you endeavour to be consistent ? A. Why should I be
like the moth that flies to the tire to its own injury 1 I must perse-
vere in God's ways.

The wife of Wah-dee-mecsh was also a candidate for baptism.
1 found from her examination that she and her husband did not get
on well, and she accused him of ill-treatment. I had him in again to
hear what reply he would make to VVee-quah-lahs, his wife. She was
tiery ; he was quiet. It was her duty to water the canoe every day
and prevent it splitting in the sun, and she had neglected to do this.
When she wanted his best canoe to go to the island and dig the
potato-ground for her own boy by another father, and he refused, it
was not because he wished to spite her boy, but because there was
a smaller canoe sufficient for the purpose, and it was her pride that
wanted the large canoe. She wanted him to go to the Nass tishing,
and help her brother when he was engaged for himself in the more
profitable occupation of hunting, and wfis angry with him ; but her
request was unreasonable. She then left him, and went herself to her
brother. So I found throughout that the lady in this case was to
blame, and she was not admitted to baptism. Wah-dee-meesh was
very pleased when, after a suspension of a day, he was told he might
be baptized. " I am very happy," he sjiid, " and Wee-quah-lahs has
listened to your words, and we are now reconciled again," He was
baptized by the name of Simeon, He is one of the council of the
village.

BAPTISM OP TOOSH.

Toosh is an Indian about forty-nine years of age ; he has a pleasing
and reverent countenance. He has been for some time very consistent.
Amongst other answers to my questions he 'said, "I have been a very
great sinner, and want to come to God. I pray for God's good Spirit.
Our eyes are very blind and full of sin, but God touches our eyes and

with him : " 1 hold my uhild in my hauda tis i ought to have held
God, and God struck my handa and took my child awny tbr my mm."
God gave him another child. It is tho heathen custom to have
a feast on the birth of a child, and for tlie parent to give away pro-
perty, and by so doiug to gain rank for the child which theu receives
u name. Toosh sent to Air. Duncan to say he did not intend to
follow this custom any more, for hu wished the Bishop to give his
child a Christian name at tho tirst ; still he should like to have
a feast, and show how happy and thankful ho was that (lod had given
him another child. Tho feast was held, and Mr. Dmicau went to it,
and Toosh made an address to tho people and told them why ho had
given up tho heathen way of miming' their children. I baptized Toosh
by the name of Reuben, and his wife Leek by tho namo of Lydia.
The latter said, "My child is gone to heaven, and I want to go too.
(iod has had pity on me and given me another son."

AU-TSIL-LOU — A MOTUEIi's OltlEK.

Ah-tnil-loh has seen much affliction. She is the wife of a mah who
was once a sorcerer. A son was a vay, and fell and broke his leg:
his agony Avas very great, and his brother, to put him out of misery,
shot hiiu. His mother took tho event so mueli to heart that she has
never bec-n well since. Another son, a tine youth, was baptized before
his death, and was very happy : he begged his mother not to weep
for him, but she tore her hair and would not be comforted. Since
then she has given herself to God, and now finds comfort in religious
duties. " God sees 1 am poor and afflicted," she says, " and He will
strengthen my heart. I want to follow my sou, who was very happy."
1 baptized her by the name of Hannah,

KEET-WILL-ANT — CHiUSTIAN DEATHS.

Another instance of tho influence of ('hristian deaths I found in
the case of Keet-will-ant. She said, " My aon died a Christian, and ho
was always happy and smiliuo; to the last, and so T saw that was the
way to be happy, and I resolved co follow " " God will pity. Jesus,
His only Son, will pity. God gave His Son for our sins, — that is why
we know God pities us." When asked, " What do you pray for ? " she
said, " I ask God to give me right prayers, and to turn my heart to
the Saviour." I baptized her Kuth : she has been for some time
regular at service and very consistent.

KAHKS, AN AGED CONVEKT.

A venerable catechumen of some seventy winters came to be exa-
mined. She was a clean old lady without a grey hair. Her face was
withered, she was blind, and had the lip ornament. " I shall soon be
dead ; the road is now very short ; it is not good for me to carry my
sins to God. Jesus is making a place for us ; it will be good for me
to go to Jesus." She had left behind her at Fort Simpson the greater
part of her family, who remain in heathenism. One son is a Christian.
I baptized her Abigail. ... ^ ... •

a good homo, and he wants her ; but she will not go back to heathen-
ism, but prefers coniparative poverty. I baptized her Aun.

CONSOLATION OF THE AGED.

Nishkosh, a voiicrablo old lady leaning upon a staff, about sixty-
eight, came to i)o examined. She is a chioftainess, and is clever,
8))oaking a purer and more copious language than others of the
ChymsiauH. Sho is a niece of tho old chief Smicon whom I baptized
in 1803. In answer to various questions calculated to draw out her
mind sho said, " I Jo feel my sins ; I do not wish to miss the way.
T trust for salvation in tho only Son of God. I wish to go to God and
leave my sins. My end is just before me. I know not what a day
may bring fortli. My daily work is to pray to God. The only thing
that comforts mo now is tho hope of being soon with God and with all
that is good. There is nothing which can draw me away from God ia
this life." I bapt J her Miriam.

WEE-8HAH-PAH-LAH.

Wee-sh.ili-pali-lah is another near and aged relative of old Simeon,
and with Ni iikosh has been very steadfast to Christianity, having
been greatly influenced by tho happy death of Simeon. She is a
chieftainess. uul superior iu manner to other Indians. She shed tears
as siie spoke of herself — a rare thing for Indians, who are not easily
moved. Amongst other answers she said, " I feel my sins, and wish
to live to God. Tiio blood of Christ cleanseth me from sin." I asked
if she was afraid to die ; she said, " I should be afraid to die because
I am bad, but God will pity me : His Son is the cause of His pity."
"I am not far from death ; I have not fixr to go, and I hope to keep
hold of the hand of (Jod till I die." Both she and Nishkosh have
Buffered temporal loss iu adhering to Christianity. Had they re-
mained with the heathen, the periodical distribution of property at
the feast of display would have brought them, as chieftainesses, con-
siderable support ; they have suffered the loss of this for Christ's sake.
I baptized her Anna.

CATECHUMENS BEFBRKED— CAUTION OBSERVED.

I deferred thirty-two catechumens for various reasons. Some of
them showed considerable intelligence. Amongst those deferred were
ten young men from sixteen to eighteen years of uge, as Gne and

buptisiu. They could answer every questiou it was ueedful to put to
them. They could say the Lord's Prayer and the Creed, both in
English and in Chymsiau. Mr. Duncan said he could not mention a
fault or inconsistency in their lives, yet we were not satistied of theii-
real earnest interest in religion. A year or two would develop their
character, and I agreed with him it would be beat to wait a while
longer. I do not think there could readily be found in any Christian
country h body of youths of whom so good an account could bo given
as Mr. Duncan had to give of these Chynisiau lads. That we did not
accept them for baptism, will show the caution observed iu admitting
candidates to that holy sacrament.

EVENING 8EKV1CE.

At five o'clock we had the evening service, when I addressed the
congregation from Titus ii. 11 — 14. Mr. Duncan interpreted, and
added earnest exhortation up(»n the good work of to-day. . Tlie atten-
tion and devotion of these Indian worshippers are remarkable. I never
saw bright-eyed boys and girls behave better, and the respouu^., were
reverently and intelligently made by the whole congregation.

CHANTS AND HYMNS SUNG BY THE GIKLS OF THE HOUSE.

As usual on Sunday evening, the young girls who are inmates of
the Mission House sang many sacred pieces, both in English and
Chymsian, Mr. Duncan leading them by an accordion.

I wap glad to retire to-night, being thoroughly weary and worn with
the several days' anxious work. 1 lay down to rest with a thankful
heart to be permitted to see and to take part in so manifest a work of
God, in the power of His word, upon the hcirts and lives of those
who were a short time since savage, ignorant, and degraded.

THE queen's BIKTHDAY.

Mondaif, May 21. — It has been usual every year to keep the
Queen's birthday at Metlacatla. The presence of the ship-of-war
induced Mr. Duncan to resolve to observe this festive occasion a few
days earlier than the usual time. So at an early hour a party from
the ship were decorating the ^lission House and bastion with a festoon
of flags of various nations. The day was delightful: the sun shone
bright, and all the beautiful scenery of the islands, placid sea, and
distant mountains, contributed to the delight. At twelve o'clock pre-
cisely a royal salute of twenty-one guns boomed forth from the ship,
to the great satisfaction of the Indians, now gathered in all their holi-
day attire, to particijjate in the proceedings of the day. There were
children playing at ball and at a merry go-round, young men were
Htriviug at gymnastics, the eighteen policemen of the village were in
their regimentals ready for review, and the elders walked about com-
paring the old time and new, and thanking God for their great increase
.of prosperity and blessing.

I'AUL LKGAIC.

BAPTISM OF INTANTS.

The proceediugs of the day were commenced in the house of God,
when seventeen children — seven boys and ten girls — were admitted
into the Church by baptism. It was pleasing to witness the devout
maimer of the si)onsor8, and to hear their audible responses. None
anywliere could beliave better, or show more appreciation for this
sacrament of the Gospel. Thex'e was an evident joy in the counte-
nance of many, to think that the promise should be to their children
as well as to themselves, and th«t they too might become the holy
ones of the Lord.

THE OANOE HACES AND FEATS OF STUENGTll.

Perhaps the most intere.sting of all the lighter proceeding was the
contest between five canoes manned by forty-one young men and men
in their prime. The course was about two miles round an island.
The canoes flew along through waves, and dashed the white foam
away, and no relaxing was there of effort until each one gained the
goal. Three canoes of women, too, competed for a prize. Boys run-
ning in sacks and meu in foot-races, blind man's buff, and such like
amusements, completed the progmmme of that part of the festivities.
The crew of the tSparrowhawk were on shore, and enjoyed the scene.

BELLA BIXLA —INDIANS LOOKING ON.

It happened that a large body of Indians of the Quoquolt tribes
came to Metlacatla to-day. They were a strange contrast to the
Metlacatlas, as darkness to light, as barbarism to civilization. Their
attire was blankets, hardly enough to cover nakedness; their faces
wbre painted black and red, and their hair was matted and dishevelled.
They were greatly astonished, and eventually hid themselves away, as
if ashamed. Their chief, a stately personage, was entertained at the
house of Paul Legiiic. He went to the magic-lantern exhibition in
tlie evening, and said he found the King George meu could conjure as
well as the Indian.

EVENING MEETING ADDRESSEa OF THE INDIAN CUIEF MEN.

In the evening was a great meeting, at which Captain Porcher,
Dr. Comrie, and other officers were present. I addressed the Indians,
and so did Captain Porcher. The chief Indian then spoke. There
was not much time : hence the speeches were brief. On other occa-
sions they speak at length, and rise to much eloquence. Mr. Duncan
interpreted what they said, and after all was over, before I went to
bed, I got Mr. Doolan to write out what had been said.

PAUL LEGAIO.

'' Chiefs, be pleased to pity us, be pleased to pity us. We are bad,
we are weak ; our feet are not strong to walk, for we are but children
in strength. Good chiefs, give us that which will strengthen us. Give
us the knowledge of God. We did not hear good when we were
young ; we have grown up in sin. Our fathers and our uncles taught

ua to siu, and left us in darkness ; but now God has blessed us, and it
is of Him that our hearts now are attentive and quieted."

ABRAHAM KEMSKAH.

" Chiefs, I will say a little. How were we to hear, when we were
young, what we now hear t And being old, and long fixed in sin, how
are we to obey ? We. are like the canoe going against the tide which
is too strong for it ; we struggle, but in spite of our efforts we are
carried out to sea. Again, we are like a youth watching a skilled
artisan at work ; he strives to imitate his work, but fails ; so we : we
try to follow God's way, but how far we fall short 1 Still we are
eucoiu'aged to persevere. We feel we are nearing the shore, we are
coming nearer the hand of God, near peace. We must look neither
to the right nor left, but look straight on and persevere."

PETER SIMPSON — THRAK-SHAH-KAWN (ouce a Sorcercr).

" Chiefs, I will speak. As my brothers before have entreated, so do
ye. Why have you left your country and come to us ? One thing
has brought you here, one thing was the cause. To teach us the way
of God, and help us to walk in it. Our forefathers were wicked and
dark ; they taught us evil, they taught us ahlied (sorcery). My eyes
have swollen. Three nights I have not slept; T have crept to the
corner of my house to cry, reflecting on God's pity to us in sending
you at this time. You are not acting from your own hearts; God has
sent you. I am happy to see so many of my brothers and sisters
newly bom to God. God has spoken to us ; * let us hear.' "

RICHARD WILSON.

"Chiefs, as ye have now heard, so do ye. Indeed, father (to
Mr. Duncan), we are sinners before you ; we often make your voice bad
in calling us ; we must persevere, we must try though we are bad ;
we are like the wedge used in splitting the trees, we are making the
way for our children ; they will be better than we are. The sun does
not come out in full strength in early morn ; the grey light at first
spreads itself over the earth ; aa it rises the light increases, and by and
by is the mid-day sun. We shall die before we have reached much,
but we shall die expecting our children to pass on beyond us, and
reach the wished-for goal."

DANIEL BAXTER (nEBA8H-AH-P00Tk).

" Chiefs, I am foolish, I am bad, bad in your sight. What can our
hearts say ? What shall we do ? We can only pray and persevere.
We will not listen to voices on this side or that, but follow on till we
reach our father in he&ven."

cheevost (jaoob).

•'Chieft, we have heard you. Why should wo try ^o mistake
the waiy you teach us : rather we must try to follow on ; though our
feet often slip, we must still try ; we have rocks all round us ; our
sins are like the rocks, but the rudder of our canoe is being held.

THE FUTURE OF METLACATLA.

She will not drift away. We are all assisting to hold the rudder and
keep her in her course. What would she be without the rudder 1
Soon a wreck upon the rocks. So we must cry to God for help to
follow ou. We must beg God's Holy Spirit to streugthen us and to
guide us. Chiefs, do you but speak, and we will obey."

WOODEEiMEESH (sIMEON).

'I will speak to my brethren. What has God doue to us? What
does He see in us that He should be working for us 1 We are like the
fallen tree buried in the undergrowth 1 Wiiat do these chiefs gain by
coming to us ? Did we call them i Do we know from whence they
are, or did we see the way they had come 1 Yet they have arrived to
us. They have torn away the undergrowth, tiicy have fouud us, and
they have lifted up our hands and eyes to God, and showed us the way
to heaven."

The day's proceedings concluded with an exhibition of the magic
lantern.

THE YOUNQ CHIEF WHO HAD LAPSED — SUCCESSOR TO THE OLD CHIEF,

BIMEON.

To-day Mr. Duncan brought before me a young man, Edward, whom
I had baptized in 1863, who had fallen into bad habits at Victoria and
Fort Simpson, to the great grief of his Christian relatives at Metla-
catla. Mr. Duncan spoke to him very earnestly, and brought him to
tears ; but the young man stiU excused himself, and admitting how bad
he was, professed he had not strength to amend, but must go on,
even though to his destruction.

Paul Legale, too, was p>ressed, and gave him some very earnest
advice. It was pleasing to see and to hear that once ferocious savage,
now not only gentle and in his right mind, loving to be on the side of
God, but forward in using his influence and speaking his words to pro-
mote God's woi'k. At length an impression did seem to be made, and
Edward said he would speak to us alone. Overwhelmed with emotion,
he asked me to pity him and to pray for him, and made me a solemn
promise he would from this time amend. I do trust, through God's
mercy, he may yet be recovered.

THE FUTURE OP METLAOATLA.

Metlacatla must be the centre of the Northern Missions, from which
shall go forth the Gospel to the regions beyond. There should be here
a well- organized boarding-school for boys as well as girls, from whom
may be draughted the future teachers of the tribes. For these again
there should be a traiaing-place or college, for the preparation of native
students for the ministry. The importance of Metlacatla can hardly
be over-estimated, when viewed in connexion with its influence upon
the Christian civilization of the Indians, its elfeck in producing a more
just and pure system of trade, or as a centre of light of the Gospel.
The time will come when the fiiBt fervour of religion will have abated,
and a new generation sprung up who will not have known the depths

of degraded hoathenism, and be able thankfully to compare their
Christianity with that experience, bnt will be open to the passions and
temptations of a nature still far from beinjj fully reclaimed, without
the help of the forvency of first converts. There will be trials then
to the Mission of no ordiuary kind, and it is of moment to make this
centre strong with the earnest life of faithful Missionaries from the
mother land.

DEPAUTURE.

Tuesday, May 22. — Having sat up discussing with Mr. Duncan and
iMr. Doulau various matters of the Mission till the grey dawn began to
appear, having rested from three to half- past five o'clock, I went ou
board, and the Sparrowhaivk was soon under weigh, our destination
being Queen Charlotte's Islands, where we arrived ou the following day,
anchoring at the head of Skiddegate inlet.

Fnday, May 25. — Beautiful day. Went a boat excursion with
Captain Porcher to the head of the inlet. The scenery was very fine.
Most of the green things were out in leaf — wild currant, gooseberry,
roses, alder and elder. I saw many jellow heartsease and lilies just
showing flower.

QUEEN CHAKLOTTE's ISLANDS.

This group of two principal islands is 150 miles long, by about 40
or 50 wide. A mountainous region runs through the interior from
north to south. Dense forests everywhere prevail. I am told, how-
ever, there are extensive open prairies with lakes, where strawberries
abound, large quantities of which the Hydahs bring over to Fort
Simpson in the season.

SKIDDEGATE AND GOLD HARBOUR INDIANS.

We were anchored at the settlement established by the Queen Char-
lotte Anthracite Coal Company. Some Sk" Megate and Gold Harbour
Indians, two neighbouring tribes, had established a small village here.
They are, I fear, a depraved set. Many having been to Victoria, and
leariit a smattering of English and vice, are very bold. They are a
strong and vigorous race. The northmen of these regions are feared
by all southern tribes. I spoke about the introduction of the Gospel
amongst them, but did not find encouragement. One little emaciated
child I saw not long for this life, with its face painted, and with a
charm ou its breast.

SKIDDEGATE VILLAGE.

Saturday, May 26. — We left the coal settlement at half-past four;
at six reached the main village of the Skiddegate Hydah tribes, where
Captain Porcher and I landed. The Crest poles are the most elaborate
and best executed of any I have seen ; every lodge had its carved pole
o^ an ancient date. I addressed t^ie Indians briefly upon the know-
ledge of God. In these islands is a great field for missionary work.
The Hydah Indiana are estimated at 5,000.

Sunday, May 27. — Beautiful day. Held Divine Service morning
and afternoon. Reached Frrt Rupert at nine, having come 260 miles.

MISSION WORK

IN THE GOLD FIELDS OF
CARIBOO.

DuRiXQ the mining season of the year 1865, the Rev. A. C. Garrett
resided on AVilliams' Creek, visiting the mining camps and holding
services regularly every Sunday at Richfield, Cameron Town, and
Barkerville, and at other places occasionally, as opportunity offered.

BREAD CAST ON THE WATERS.

As I drew near the wayside house where I purposed to rest for the
night, I perceived the landlord seated on the verandah in thoughtful
mood. Some gi-ave and cierious matter evidently engaged his mind,
as he seemed alike regardless of the busy bustle of the teamsters, of
the prattle of his children playing hard by, or of ray approach. My
horse's feet aroused him from his reverie. He cast a keen, searching
glance at me, sprang to his feet, and said, " Mr. Garrett, I believe ?
You are welcome to my house. Dismount, sir, and let me take charge
of your horse." " Pray," said I, " how do you know my name, for I
do not remember ever having seen youl" He replied, " You once
called at the Colonial Hotel, in Victoria, where many rough fellcws
were gathered round the stove. You urged upon them the itnportance
of guarding against the loss of things eternal, while they pursued
things temporal." " Yes," I said, ■' I once did so, but with little
result, I fear." " You advised them, sir," said he, " to use the means
of grace within their reach, and to attend the house of God as
occasion offered. I was one among that number. I went to church,
and T have never forgotten it."

My gloom at once disappeared, and the evening sped away delight-
fully while we discussed various points of religious interest. He was
a Baptist, and his children had consequently never been dedicated to
Christ. He had then an infant, about whose health he felt some
anxiety. After lenguhened conversation, he seemed convinced that
the Church's views were right, and, at his request, I baptized the
iufaut. The elder girls' baptism he preferred postponing until he

could visit Victoria, and have the sacrament administered with such
attendant solemnities as might be most likely, under the Divine
blessing, to make a deep impression upon their minds.

INDIAN SERVICE AT LILLOOET.

In the afternoon I went to the Indian church as per appointment.
They had a picture of the Virgin jMury stuck on tlie wail, flanked on
either side by some American Romanist bishops, cut from an illus-
trated paper. One of the Indians present was delivering a sort of
oration in a monotonous voice, assisted by another, who repeated wliat
had been said, only in a key an octave higher, Avhich pierced the ear
and jagged the nerves. I waited patiently till this very painful per-
formance was concluded, and then, upon the invitation of the orator
and his assistant, I proceeded to address the assembly. 1 soon found
that they remomb. "cd, quite well, the little hymn I had taught them
three years before, and were very anxious to have the sphere of their
knowledge enlarged. I taught them to chant the Lord's Prayer,
explained John iii. 16 to tliem, and left. Alas ! poor creatures, they
are emphatically walking in darkness.

IXCUEASE or CHINESE POPULATION.

This peculiar and wonderful people are now pouring into the
country with a velocity hitherto unknown. Like some mighty wave,
which, urged by the swell of ocean, overleaps every barrier and rusiies
far inshore, so these children of the Celestial Empire, pressed forward
by the swelling millions of their native land, burst the bonds and
prejudices of former generations, and are now beginning to take up a
recognised position among the established inhabitants of this colony.
As merchants, farmers, servants, and labourers, they are gradually,
but surely, gaining a firm and successful standing in the country.

I visited their farm at Queserelle, and was delighted and inspired
by the skill and success with which they were worked, and the labour
and persevering industry which their flourishing crops evinced. Great
ingenuity is manifested in their contrivances for securing a due supply
of water for purposes of irrigation. A large water-wheel is con-
structed which is driven by the current of the river. As it revolves,
it raises a small quantity of water in each bucket., which is discharged
into a trough at the top of the wheel, and thence conveyed in flumes
all over the fields.

Chinamen will ere long be employed in greater numbers in this
country than at any previous period. As any particular mining
locality becomes partially exhausted, Chinese labour will be employed
to work out its remaining wealth. Thus, perhaps at no distant day,
a really hopeful field of missionary enterprise may be afforded among
these truly interesting people.

hidden treasures become famous almost all over the world. A wild
and inhospitable region it is, beyond the possibility of contradiction.

Kichtield, on '' Villiams' Creek, is situated in a ravine about 5,000
feet above the sea. Surrounded on overy side by pine-clad mountains,
it is difficult to imagine a place commanding a more limited horizon.
I felt when I first reached it as if I had been placed in a gigantic
cage, the sides of which rose up from my feet till they struck the sky.
Busy miners, however, wage incessant war upon the walls of this
prison. Tunnels are run into the hills in various directions, shafts are
Runk in countless plnccs, and subterranean vaults constructed of vast
proportions. Otliors, again, bring hydraulic power to bear, boldly
assail the mountaiti, and threaten to strip the bare rock of its towering
supei*structure. Thus with ceaseless and insatiable appetite the
precious metal is pursued through the hidden recesses of the earth,
until, at length caught and made captive, it is brought forth to the
surface and compelled to minister to the wants of man.

Hundreds, yea, thousands of dollars, are frequently first expended
before any result is obtained, and in many instances without ever
meeting with any reward. Still the splendid success of a few is so
(Ifizzling, that men cannot resist the spell which binds them withover-
jjowering influence to try again, and yet again, until either fortune
smile and crown their eftbrts, or, altogether ruined, they are compelled
to surrender in despair. Tlie large prizes in this lottery aid few and
far between ; the small ones are numerous, and the blanks many.

I have myself seen the excited partners in one "claim" wash up over
500 ounces as the result of two days' work ; I have also stood by
others who iu sadness and dejection were endeavouring to scrape up a
few ounces after weeks of patient and expensive toil. But while one
"claim " can be found to yield such fabulous wealth as that above aUuded
to, men will work, plan and risk, whatever may be the consequence.
The known gold fields are however, indisputably, now rapidly ap-
proachir.g exhaustion. Unless, therefore, something new be discovered,
the country will ere long be in a miserable state of stagnation.-

A RESIDENT MISSIONARY URGENTLY REQUIRED.

However well the migratory character of the mining population
may seem to justify a migratory mission, it should be borne in mind
that a large number of miners and merchants remain in Cariboo
during the winter. Mining operations are then necessarily suspended,
and all these men exist fi-om Sunday to Sunday in a state of absolute
idleness. A resident clergyman capable of enduring the dreadful
monotony, and both physically and mentally qualified for the task,
would then have an opportunity of gaining a hold upon the whole
population, and of doing an amount of good probably very muo!i
greater than anything which the same man could effect during a brief
stay amid the wild excitement of the summer months. He would
require to be a man in every way competent to command the respect
and conciliate the good will of all classes. Ready to devise and
execute various plans for the moi'al and intellectual improvement of
the inhabitants ; active, earnest, zealous, afiPable yet self-contained ;

wise, prudent, patient, in an uncommon degrne : whether such a man
can anywhere be found willing to undertake such a work, I do not
pretend to say ; but of thin I am certain, that a character any way
inferior would be at best useless here. This emphatically is not the
place for an inferior man.

i'l

CAniCOO AN IMPORTANT nUT DIFFICULT SCRNE OF MISSIONARY

LAnOUR.

In a ministerial point of view, this is tiie most important place in
British Columbia, exclusive of New Westminster. The population
this season numbers about two thousand. There are various creeks
of smaller importance employing from fifty to one hundred men,
which are not included in the above estimate.

Thus Williams' Creek, with its three towns, has the most niimeroi's.
most concentrated, and most intelligent population anywhere to be
found in the two colonies outside Victoria and New Westminster.

The difficulties which beset the herald of the Gospel in the mining
region are far greater than any to be encountered elsewhere. There
is here no iSabbath. Mining t)perations are carried on with as much
zeal as on any other day. Wheels as incessantly revolve, and a
struggling mass of immortal beings, buried beneath the surface of the
earth, labour for the meat which perisheth with the same ceaseless
effort. Business of every kind is transacted with increased hurry, and
every town presents features of additional bustle.

The minister placed in this hurrying tide of human life is far too
like a chip cast upon the surface of a rapid river. In vain he tries to
stem the torrent. What is he against so many ? Could he but
obtain a hearing for his mess-age, some impression might be made,
some good effected. But yet even as in the most rapid river there are
frequent eddies, where the skiff, which else were at the mercy of the
rushing flood, may be moored with safety, or steered up stream with
ease, so here have I been blessed. My little churches have been filled
to worship God and hear His word ; while hard by the carpenter
plied his saw, the blacksmith made his anvil ring, the gamblers played
their desperjite game, Cheap-Johns cried their wares, and a busy
multitude of striving, toiling men passed onward, down the stream of
life together. Doubtless, the numbers who attended the house of God
bore but a very small proportion to the whole population. This,
I admit and deplore. But yet I will be thankful that amidst such
multiplied and opposing influences any measure of success has been
achieved. Let us hope and believe, and pray, that the leaven thus
hid, and to all human appearances lost, may yet work to the general
spread of a more sacred and solemn regard for the word and will
of God. '

MISSION AT (X)MOX.

EXTllACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF MR. J. C. B. CAVE,

CATECHIST.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SETTLEMENT.

CoMOX, or as it is marked in the ciiart, Port Augusta, is about one
himdred and thirty-tlireo miles north of Victoria. Its population is
seventy, including men, women, and children, most of whom came to
reside here in 1862, tempted by the fine lands suited so well for farm-
ing purposes. It has five thousand seven hundred and eighty acres,
four thousand of which are capable of immediate cultivation, being
free from all timber. Nearly the whole of the land is already taken
up. The Church holds ^ne hundred and seventy acres in the most
central position, and beautifully situated on the banks of the river
Runtledge, which runs along the northeni boundary. About two
mouths after the appointment of a catechist, in the summer of 1 864,
the foundation log for a Chapel and Mission House was laid, and tne
building was opened for service on the Isl of January, 1865. During
the fine season it has been well attended, but in the winter the settlers
are prevented from coming regularly from the want of roads and
bridges.

During several months of the year the Comox tribe of Indians
reside on the Indian Resei-ve, which adjoins the lauds which have been
taken up by the whites. Two days a week are given to visiting them
and teaching their children, and one service is held on each Sunday
during their stay. Their language is the Eucletaw ; it is a harsh,
guttural speech, and is difiPiCult of acquisition.

BAPTISM AND DEATH OF AN INDIAN WOMAN.

February 15, i«G5. — AVent down to the Indian camp, by special
request, to see Susan, the wife of Cairnqualt. I found her in a very low
and depressed state. It was some time before she recognised me.
When she did, she said, '* I must shortly die. I have been poisoned.
What will become of me? Oh, thank you for telling me all about
heaven. Before my husband was shot (alluding to an accident about
two years before) he was a bad man ; he is better, I think, now ; he
prays sometimes ; take care of him. Mr Good was his friend, thank
him for it. Oh ! I am sure I am dying ; do make me Jesus' child. I
thank Him for dying for me. I am going to Him. Shall I see my
baby ? " I spoke to her for some time, then called in her friends, had
a short service with them, and then baptized her, saying " Susan,
I baptize thee, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost. Amen." My interpreter was much moved, and inter-
preted very nicely. On the following day, I again visited her. On
remarking she looked better, she replied, " I feel better, I have not so
much pain, but it will soon come for the last time, and I shall be dead,
but happy." When next I visited her she was dead, and the Indians .

had buriod her. She died in a tent oulside the houHO. They arc very
superatitiouB, and will allow no one to die in a bouse.

Fehruary 25. — The Indians not being eritiaiiod about the death of
Susan came up to-day in numbers. Tliey say ohat poison has been
found in one of the chiefs houses, by name Quor-hu-la ; and that
there is reason to suspect him, because he is a medicine man, and cnn
kill or cure any one. I usked what poison it was, and they say that
Quor-he-la is in the habit of going to a dead man's grave and taking
part of his flesh, especially his inside, and then takes some glass and
hair, ground and cut fine, mixing it together, then boiling for an hour,
and afterwards drying the mass in the sun. Bits of this are dropped
into the food, whilst on the fire, of any one they wish to poison.
Nine men are said to have been killed in this way within a short
time.

MISSIONAUY VISIT TO THR XOnTIIERN INDIANS.

Left Comox at 8 a.m. for the northern settlements to visit the
Indians. About ten o'clock met several large canoes. As soon as
they heard a " Le PrAtre " was with my canoe, they went on shore and
invited me to partake of their hospitality and asked for a service,
which I willingly gave them. This I thought was a good beginning.
After service they told me that the Indians were dying all up the
coast and wanted medicines. Every Missionary to the Indians ought
to have some little knowledge of physic. He will be sure to win the
hearts of all, and make a sure road to the affections of those who are
not hardened indeed. Left my friends at 1 p.m. and camped at
five o'clock in the open air. Very cold. The starry heavens for a
canopy is very pleasant for one night, but a person soon gets tired of
it, and wishes for warmer lodgings. During the evening an argument
arose as to how much I intended to pay the Indians who paddled my
canoe. As the amount I offered was much lower than that which
they demanded, they packed their traps apJ put off for home, leaving
me to get there as best I could. They left me in an awkward predica-
ment. But fortunately I had only my blankets and diary, with a few
eatables, and therefore made up my mind to walk back in the morning,
keeping along the beach.

On the morrow at 5 a.m. a number of Martinborough canoes came
down to the place where I had camped, and kepi luc for several hours
reading their papers. They reported a schooner trading in whieky, and
all the Indians about twenty miles in a state of drunken madness. My
runaways returned about 8 a.m. with "hyas sick tum-tums" (very sick
hearts), and much ashamed of their conduct. Camped for the second
time at 7 p.m. Had a long couvc^ation with the Indians. They
seem to have a name for every star.

Left our second camping-gi-ound at 7 a.m. Bitterly cold. Soon
after our departure we met a canoe taking home some white men who
had been up to seek for gold near Quorsam ; where the Indians
teported abundance. But none was found, and provisions falling
short, these disappointed gold-seekers were reluctantly obliged to
return. Arrived in the evening at the first camp of Indians. We

bad a severe gale of wind nil day, but our splendid canoe outlived it.
The Indians were alarmed at our coming. Their consciences are by
uo moans clear of offence. The women ran into the woods and the
men armed themselves But they soon were quite satisfied, and I
spent three houra reading their papers. It is astonishing the love
they have for a paper with their name on it, especially when it gives
them a good character. I am grieved to say that whisky-traders
and others give them papers testifying to their good conduct, when all
the while they are most dangerous and wicked. For instance ; an
officer of H.AI.S. Ihcate gave one man a true character, in which
he said he was not to be trusted and was a great rogue ; whilst some
person gave him the best of characters. In the morning all the
Indians assembled themselves fur prayer. After service, the chief
stood up and told me the hearts of all his tribe were very sick, as one
Indian who had murdered a white man belonging to the schooner
Thorndyke was still amongst them.. This man was subsequently given
up and brought to justice.

Left our third camping-ground and crossed over with a fair breeze,
and arrived at another camp of about four hundred Indians. After
dinner had a nice service, when I told them how happy we were to be
able to visit them in their own lands, where we could attend on their
sick, and provide food for the souls of all who liked to partake, with-
out money and without price.

After a severe night's cold and privation we left at 11 a.m. and took
a straight course for Oyster Bay ; but owing to a strong head-wind and
tide we were obliged to put into a small bay. Here spreading our
blankets on the beach, we went to bed. In the middle of the night,
liowever, we found ouraelves afloat ; and so comfort for the rest of our
voyage was over, as the snow and frost would not allow them to dry.
Just as I was thinking how unfortunate it was we were unable to
make the next village, a large number of Clayhoosh Indians came
down and stopped at our camping-ground. Unfortunately, however,
the day was wet. I had however two nice services. In the interini
I was examining the chief's papers. He appeared to have a large tribe
under his command.

Got to our fourth camping-ground, after a very cold and wet trip, at
6 P.M., where necessity compelled me to accept a house belonging to
a chief. He made me very comfortable, and spread four new '.blankets
over me. Here I found a great number of sick, and admini jtered to
them all. Havinjr stayed here two nights, T started for home with a
fair breeze. We got to Johnson Narrows in one day. I never saw or
imagined anything like thuui. The rush of water w^as fearful,
several feet high. But the Indians shot the rapids, as it is termed,
and we providentially escaped where only a month ago three white
men and two Indians were drowned by the upsetting of their canoe.
Arrived in Comox on the evening of March 10, and was very
thankful to find myself once more in the Mission House.

THE SWIHS MINKK.

VISIT OP THK DISICOr TO TUB MISSION.

Oil ^londay, November 20, his Lordship the Bishop arrived from
Victoria by the gun -boat Sparrowhawk, ])uring his stay lio
baptized a chihl, the parents of which had long wanted to get some
clergyman of the Cliurch to do it for them. But wo found grout
difficulty and danger in getting to the house. A river had to bo
crossed, and the floods, owing to the late rains, were very high and
rapid. The river was about two chains wide. The only crossing was
a small tree, round, and slippery with the wet. Tlie water was quite
up to it, and I believe frequently washing over it. His Lordship lod
the way, and I followed. During the night the log was carried
away.

Since then the little one has died, and the parents are indeed grate-
ful for what the Bishop did for them. They have become more than
ever firm supporters of the Church. Soon after the funeral the father
of the child told mo, with tears in his eyes, ** I shall never forgot his
Lordship for running the risk he did, and shall ever be grateful fur
the blessing he brought to ray child."

THE SWISS MINER.

DEATH AND BURIAL OF A SWISS MINER.

There were two Swiss brothers who for some years had farmed
exclusively a rich bench of diggings on the opposite side of the river
Fraser to the Boston Bar hotel. They had taken out a large amount
of gold, and were saving tiieir money and sending it home to their
widowed r ither in Switzerland, hoping in a few years to return to
Europe with a competence, and settle down near their mother for the
rest of their days.

But, alas ! for human hopes and plans. Death has blasted these
fond expectations, and one brother has been summoned away from
earth without a moment's warning. He was killed on Monday, July
16, instantaneously, as was supposed. The body was not recovered
before the Tiiursday morning following. Mr. S., of Yale, was sent for
immediately to hold an inquest on the recovered body. On the com-
pletion of the inquiry, Mr. S., believing it would greatly comfort the
surviving brotlrr, and afford an opportunity to his friends of hearing
something which might do them good, told him that he was snro

to him at such a time, nnd that nothing would give him and his
mother at home such sat iufaction an to know that tiie lost riten of the
Church had been performed over the dead. He begged Mr. 8. to
arrange for my coming out as early as possible the next day.

I got the message about 10 p.m. on Thursday evening. Failing to
procure a conveyance at the livery-stable, a merchant in Yale, who
was intending to start for Cariboo the next morning, put off his
joiu'noy for a day and oflered to drive me to Boston Bar and back.
Accordingly we left early on the morrow, and reached our destination
at half-past ten o'clock in the morning All the friends and neigh-
bours were anxiously looking out for my arrival. Having robed,
I proceeded to the dwelling in wiiiuh the dead awaited interment ;
and there I was introduced to the poor broken-hearted brother, who
wept over the departed like a child, and talked to him of home and
their former companionship as though he were alive. He overpowered
me with bis expressions of thankfulness on beholding a minister of
God who had come all tliat way to bury his (brother. He told mo
that the Swiss were a very simple-minded people and venerated the
ministrations of tlie clergy, and especially in this matter of Christiau
burial. We then sang, and after using the introductory service and
reading the appointed Lesson, I addressed those present from the thirty-
third and thirty-fourtli verses of the same chapter. Strong men who
probably had not wept for years were much moved, and I was myself
greatly affected.

We then went to the grave in the corner of a beautiful corn-patch,
in which the grain was lying in swaths, reminding one so forcibly of
human com cut down by the keen sickle of death. Here I finished
our beautiful service and again delivered a short discourse, after which
we all moved quietly away. When we had taken some refreshment
1 had a long conversation with the bereaved brother about his home,
his life, his mother, and his future plans. I promised to write a letter
to his mother, and send it with a copy of the burial register for in-
closure in his letter home. This I have since done. He insisted on
my receiving from him a fee of twenty dollars, besides paying all
travelling expenses, saying he was well off and could well spare the
money. Shortly after I parted from him, and retunied homewards,
thanking God for having sent me to this part of the mission-field and
for having made me a minister of the CImroh of England.

Surely we have in this part of the colony a great work to do for
God and His Church, and a ready door stands open. I pray that
I may have grace to enter and strength to occupy till I am moved
away or my own end comes.

GIRLS' COLLEGIATE SCHOOL,
BUKDETT AVENUE, VICTORIA.

LAYING THE COBXER-BTONE.

The ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the Collegiate School for
Girls, on the Church Reserve, was performed yesterday in the presence
of several hundred people, a large proportion of whom were ladies. Among
the ladies present we noticed Mrs. Kennedy and daughters, Mrs. Need-
ham and daughters, Mrs. W. A.G.Young, Mrs. Hills, Mrs. Harris. The
day was one of the most heautiful of the whole year. From the com-
manding site of the Seminary could be seen the distant Olympian
range, while the waters of the Straits, lying placid and unrippled,
appeared like a belt of burnished silver glistening beneath the influence
of the bright rays of the sun. Over the site a platform had been
erected, and at precisely three o'clock the procession, having formed at
the residence of the Bishop, marched in the following order : Compa-
nies 1 and 2 of the Kifle Corps, headed by their fine band; His Excel-
lency the Governor and Staff; Sir James Douglas ; the Hon. the Chief
Justice ' the Hon. the Members of the Legislative Council; the Hon.
the Speaker and Members of the House of Assembly ; the Mayor of
Victoria ; the Members of the Bar ; the Lord Bishop ; tbe Archdeacon
and Clergy of the Diocese; the Churchwardens of Christ Church and
St. John's Church.

The Volunteers took their place south of the platform, while the
Lord Bishop and the Ven. Archdeacon Gilson, Revs. Cridge, Woods,
Garrett and Reece, Governor Kennedy, Sir James Douglas, the Colo-
nial Secretary, the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, the Treasurer,
the Surveyor-General, the Mayor, Captain Lang, the Speaker of the
Legislative Assembly, Dr. Tolmie, M.L.A., Dr. Powell, M.L.A., J. G.
Shepherd, Esq., and A. R. Bobertson, Esq., occupied places on the
platform.

J. J. Cochrane, Esq., M.L.A., Agent of tbe Lord Bishop, and "W. S.
S. Green, Esq., Acting Registrar of the Diocese, were the Masters of
Ceremonies.

Rev. Mr. Cridge gave out the hundredth Psalm, commencing, "All
people that on earth do dwell," which having been sung, was followed
with a prayer by Mr. Cridge, and responses by the people. The Lord
Bishop and the Ven. Archdeacon having read the prayers and services
appointed, Sir James Douglas, advancing to the seat occupied by Mrs.
Kennedy, escorted that lady to the foundation, where the Lord Bishop,
advancing, addressed Mrs. Kennedy as follows :

" It is my pleasing duty to ask you to perform now ih^ significant
act of laying the corner-stone of this institution. This bbottmbly
around you regard it as appropr.a' e that you should do this, being the
wife of His Excellency the Govern '>r, and head of your sex in this part

of your taking this part, being yourself a faithful daughter of the
Church of our mother lauj, whose principles are here to be cherished ;
and last, not leasts we regard you as exhibiting in your own accom-
plished home the example of a successful education."

The Bishop then presented Mrs. Kennedy with a silver trowel, on
which was a suitable inscription.

Mrs. Kennedy then proceeded to lay tue stone, beneath which was
deposited an hermetically-sealed jar, containing a copy of yesterday's
(jhronicle; a copy of the Colonist and Post; a few coins ; the last Eeport
of the Columbia Mission; and a parchment scroll, on which was in-
scribed the date of the ceremony, the names of those officially con-
nected with it, and that of Mrs. Kennedy.

The stone having been set and squared, Mrs. Kennedy struck it
three times with a mallet, exclaiming: *' This stone is laid in faith and
hope, to tlie honour and glory of God, through Jesus Christ our L<yrd.
Amen."

The Lord Bishop then laid his baud on the stone and said : " In the
faith of Jesus Christ, we place this headstone in the foundation, in the
name of the Father, the Sou, and the Holy Ghost, that here true
faith, the fear of God, and brotherly love may dwell, and that this
place may be set apart for the instruction of the young, and for the
honour ot the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."

Mrs. Kennedy havmg been escorted back to her seat, a prayer was
offered up, and His Excellency the Governor advanced, and said
he was glad to see that a great part of those present had laid aside
minor differences, and had come there to assist in doing a great public
good. He was glad to see in this colony men of different denomina-
tions willing to do so when a great good was to be accomplished. The
object for which they had met he believed was for the purpose of
effecting a great end — the inauguration of a female school he consi-
dered one of the noblest objects ever devised. When they looked
about and saw the number of females growing up in this colony, he
thought that all would agree with him in saying that such an institu-
tion was required. He was one of those who did not believe that a
courageous, noble race of men could descend save from virtuous, intel-
ligent mothers, and it was their bounden duty so to educate the female
mind as to enable it to meet every requirement; not in a narrow or
sectarian manner, but so that all might derive good who came, without
a sacrifice of conscientious principles. Such was the desire of the clergy
of his own Church. He looked on this day as the dawn of a new era
in this colony, when he found men and women reAdy to come forward
and assist in the inauguration of an institution to train those who
were to come after them. His Excellency believed that there were
not many of his sex present who were not more or less under some
female influence; and his own experience had taught him that there
was very little good that was not stimulated and encouraged by
woman's influence. And if this were so, how important was it that
they should look to the welfiire of not only those who were to become
wives and mothers amongst us, but of those who were to come after
them. In conclusion, His Excellency alluded to the generous and

high-minded lady (Miss Burdett Coutts), to vihoae munificence th's
colony was indebted — a lady who had shown so just an appreciation
of riches that she expended them in the spread of knowledge and
the Gospel throughout the wide world.

Chief Justice Needham said that he regarded it as a most fortunate
circumstance that he should, having so recently landed here, enjoy the
opportunity of being present on an occasion that enabled him to make
the acquaintance of the people; a more auspicious circumstance he
could not have hoped for. The advantage of education to both male
and female it was impossible to over-estimate. Equal education was
the highest standard of equality, and it was by education alone that
we could raise man to an appreciation of those principles for which his
noble nature fit*''?d him. If intelligence and virtue were the test of
true worth with men, how much more (in the words of the Governor)
were they so with women, the mothers and wives of future genera-
tions. The Lord Bishop would say that religion and education go
hand in hand — without religion, secular education was but a dry leaf.
He much doubted if every heart did not beat in unison with those
principles of which the symbols that they had seen used in laying the
stone were but the types. The Church had done what generations to
come would bless it for, ''and when this building shall have crumbled
to the dust, when it shiiU perhaps have given way for another and a
nobler structure, and when that stone shall have been uncovered,
future generations will bless you, although we shall then be gathered
to our fathers."

The Bishop of Columbia then advanced and spoke as follows : —
"This good work we have now inaugurated represents a wider
extent of exertion and sympathy than appears upon the surface.
We are here expressing in the erection of this building the active
exertions and Christian sympathy of many friends in dear old
England. First amongst them who have taken an interest in the
best welfare of these colonies is that eminent and benevolent lady.
Miss Burdett Coutts. The names of the streets and square around
us are a small tribute of our gratitude to her. For all time Burdett
Avenue, Coutts Street, and Columbia Square, beautifully and centrally
situated as they are, will bear to distant ages her honoured and muni-
ficent example. The venerable Society of Christian Knowledge, whose
aid for all such good objects has been liberally accorded for 160
3ears to all parts of the British Empire, lielps us to-day. There is
still, however, much more to be done than we have the means. for at
present. You will^ I am sure, recognise the obligation which rests
upon us all here in thu colony to unite our aid to the utmost. The
need of an institution for good female eduootion requires no proof — it
is a special want in the early stage of a colony. The object we aim
at is to provide a practical education, sound and useful, after the best
model of England, adapted to the special wants of the colony. Most
important is this training in its bearing upon the manhood of the
future. Biogi'aphy and history have recorded innumerable instances
where men who have risen to prominent positions in the world have
attiibuted the host and moat powerfiil qualities of tiieir cliaractov to

the influence of their mothers. Depend upon it, if you let your girls
grow up into frivolous, vain and pleasure-loving womanhood, you have
a generation of effeminate, selfish, shallow and unstable manhood, with
consequences far worse to many. But if your girls, well trained, grow
up into sensible, practical, well-principled women, with clear views of
faith and duty, you will have, under their influence, a manhood vigo-
rous, temperate, cultivated, high-principled and useful. We trust,
therefore, the girlhood of our Province may acquire that good disci-
pline and useful knowledge which may enable them to perform credit-
ably the duties of life. We hope also that they will find here those
accomplishments which belong to civiliziition, and which increase the
influence for good, improve the taste, help to please, give rational
recreation, aud afford increased power to eujoy the works of God. But
accomplishments are not everything — not the chief thing : far from it.
We must train the character in religious principles aud the grace of
God. Kot music, history, languag3s, singing and science, can do any-
thing for the saving of the soul ; there nuist be spiritual knowledge of
the holy doctrines of the Gospel. We must see our children ' Chris-
tianly and virtuously brought up.' We do not dare to let them go

th with unfised principles, but rather endeavour to train them up
■ , the way they should go, and fortify them from the armoury of God
to meet the temptations aud diflSciilties of life. Blended, then, with
all the teaching of this place will be the principles of our holy religion
— charitably, as the Governor has said : we trust this wiU be done;
for if there is a Cliurch on earth with wide sympathies, inclusive rather
than exclusive, it is the Church of England, and we hope, while not
departing from our definite principles, to be yet, as tliis institution
has been and is, useful to many who may not agree with us on every
point. Here then, in this peaceful spot, under the shade of venerable
oaks, amidst scenery unsurpassed, with climate genial and healthy, and
it may be, ere a distant day, beneath the shadow of a noble cathedral,
where the Cross of Christ shall be lifted up continually, gentle and
youthful nature shall be trained in the nurture and admonition of tbe
Lord — to whom in after times this place shall be hallowed in the
memories of loved associates aud of kind and faithful teachers, and in
lessons of holy wisdom, which shall have saved many a frail bark from
shipwreck upon the rocks and shoals of life, and guided it safely to the
haven of everlasting rest "

The Lord Bishop then gave the blessing, the National Anthem was
played, and the procession reformed aud returned to the Bishop's resi-
dence, where the baud performed several airs The Kifle Corps then
marched through the principal streets to the corner of Yates and
Government streets, where they wei*e dismissed. — Victoria Chrou'de.

Btoreyd in height throughout, besides commodious cellarage. It will
comprise, when completed, a frontage on Burdett Avenue of 120 feet
by a depth of 76 feet, and will be in the Gothic style of architecture,
having high-pitched roofs, and gables finished with moulded coping
and ornamental crosses, and windows with stone mullions and dress-
ings. The design compi-ises a centre, having three two-light windows
on the ground floor, and single-light windows on the first floor, sur-
mounted by dormers with traceried circles, and is flanked by projecting
wings having three-liglit bay-windows on the ground floor, and cou-
pled-arched windows separated by shafts with carved caps and bases
on the f.rst floor, with circles in the gables for ventilation. The prin-
cipal entrance will be by a projecting jjorch having stone shafts and
carved caps, to a vestiVmle opening into the staircase hall, on the right
of which will be private drawing and sitting rooms, and to the left a
dining-room for boarders, study, and passage to school-room. This
apartment will occupy the centre of the south front, and will be 30
feet by 45 feet, with 20 feet ceiling, lighted by windows on three
sides ; there will also be several class-rooms attaclied. The first floor
of the main building contains the apartments of the principal, and
seven dormitories with space for forty beds. The kitchen wing, which
is reached under the principal staircase, is furnished with all necessary
conveniences ; over the kitchen are servants' rooms, linen rooms, batii
rooms, &c. The dormitories and school-room will be thoroughly ven-
tilated by means of fresh-air flues in the chimneys, and foul-air ducts
in the roof, terminating in a ventilation-turret of light design which
will surmount the roof, and will contain a bell. The portions at pre-
sent under contract will contain the principal's residence and kitchen
wing, with boarders' dining-room and principal's study, the two latter
of which will be used as temporary school and class-rooms, affording
accommodation for 18 boarders and 42 day -scholars — 60 in all. The
complete design will accommodate 40 boarders and 100 day-scholars,
or 140 in all.

PRESENT CONDITION OF THE COLLEGE.

The school, which had been in existence since September, 1861, was
removed to the new buildings in July, 1866, at the close of the Mid-
summer vacation. Its removal has been followed by a considerable
increase of numbers. Sixty pupils are now under daily training,
several of whom are boarders.

It may be mentioned, as at once showing the wide range from which
the pupils are drawn, and the estimation in which the College is held,
that two of the boarders are the daughters of piincipal government
officials in the Russian territory of Sitka.

The school is under the able superintendence of Miss Pemberton,
assisted by three teachers. A weekly class for religious instruction is
taught by the Bishop of the diocese, and other classes have the
advantage of either the stated or occasional superintendence of some
of the clergy resident in Victoria.

The cost of the building is, we regret to say, not yet defrayed. A
considerable deficiency exists, which, until it is removed, will prove a

serioua burden to tbe efficiency of the institution. It is, therefore,
much to be desired, tliat those friends of a moral and religious e<luca-
tion for the girls in our colonies, who have so liberally assisted in
founding this school, will nob relax their efforts. Few works of
Christian usefulness promise, under God's blessing, to prove more
advantageous to the country in which they exist, and few, in all pro-
bability, will sooner be self-sustaining, provided they be efficiently
and generously supported at their commencement.

TESTLMONIALS
PRESENTED TO CLERGY OF THE DIOCEieE.

During the summer of 1865, the Rev. W. S. Reece was appointed
by the Bi&hop to hold Sunday services at the mininii: camp on Leech
River, about twenty miles from Victoria At the close of the season,
when his labours necessarily came to an end, the following Address was
presented to him by the miners and otliers. Amongst the signatures
appended were those of four Chinese, who had been working at the
mines during that summer ; —

TESTIMONIAL TO THE USEFULNESS OF THE REV. PERCIVAL JENNS, IN

NKW WESTMINSTER.

During the absence of the Rev. J. Sheepshanks, the Rector of New
Westminster, the duty of his parish was discliarged, for nearly twelve
months, by the Rev. P. Jenns, who had arrived in the colony early in
1865. When the time of the Rector's return was approaching, it
became necessary to remove Mr, Jenns to some other part of the

diocese, where he could have a larger and more independent sphere of
labour than would have been open for him had he remained in New
Westminster after Mr. Sheepshanks arrived. When the intention of
the Bishop to effect this removal became known to the churchmen of
that parish, they expressed their earnest desire that some arrangement
might be made by which Mr. Jonns could continue to live and work
amongst them. This desire was embodied in a memorial addressed to
the Bishop, and signed by well-nigh all the members of the Church of
England resident in New Westminster.

The foUowino: extract from that memorial will show the estimation
in which Mr. Jenns was lield in the chief town of British Columbia,
and will also prove that diligent, faithful labour for Clirist and His
Church is generally, througij the blessing of Almighty God, crowned
with success in every part of the world : —

" That your memorialists view the proposed removal of the Rev.
Percival Jenns from the scene of his labours in this place with very
earnest regret, and would solicit your Lordship to review the project
which wo hear is entertained of taking a faithful and zealous minister
from the very place where his unobtrusive devoteduess, scientific at-
tivlnments, and personal fitness for his sacred office have, in so short a
period, endeared him to his congregation and the people of the locality,
and have been productive of the happiest results to the interest of the
Church in this district."

NEW CHURCH AT ESQUIMALT.

The following account of the laying of the foundation-stone of St.
PaJil's Church, Esquimalt, is copied from the Victoria Colonist and
Chronicle of August 31, 1866 : —

LUTING THE FOUNDATION-STONB OP ST. PAUL's CHURCH,

ESQUIMALT.

Yesterday afternoon the interesting ceremony of laying the foun-
dation-stone of the new Episcopal Church about to be erected at
Esquimau was performed in the presence of 'a great concourse of
people, many of whom were ladies. The site (which was generously
presented by the Hon. Donald Eraser) chosen for the new edifice is on
the level spot exactly at the foot of the road leading into Esquimalt
from this city, which commands a tine view of the waters of tlie outer
harbour and Straits, and is situated not a stone's-throw fro^a the
rocky beach. The platform overlooking the site was decorated with
flags. H.M. ships hutlej and Scout, gunboat Forward, and U.S. war
steamer Saginaw, were gaily dressed in bunting, and presented a
beautiful appearance.

At precisely four o'clock a procession, headed by the band of H.M.S.
Si'tlej, was formed on Hospital-road, and moved towards the site in the
order described in yesterday's paper. Among the reverend gentlemen

iu the procession were His Lordship the Bishop, attended bj Archdeacon
Gilson, Deon Cridge, Rev. A. C. Garrett (Reotor of St. Paul's), Rev.
Mr. Doolan, and Rev. Mr. Cawston, Chaplain of the Sutlej. We also
noticed His Excellency the Governor, Adniiial Denman, and Capts.
Price, Sulivan, and Coode, R. N., Captain Franklin, and three officers
of the U.S. steamer Saijinaw, the Hon. Chief Justice Needham,
J. J. Cochrane, Esq. M.L.A., and many others. Among the ladies
near the platform were seated Mrs. Kennedy and daughters, Hon. Mrs.
Denman, Mrs. Hills, Mrs. Needham and daughters, Mrs. Sparks and
daughter, and several members of the St. John's and Cathedral
Church choirs.

Tne procession having arrived on the ground, Archdeacon Gilson
gave out the 100th Psalm.

His Lordship the Bishop of Columbia liaving read the service
appointed for the occasion (the people responding with much fervour),
Mrs. Denman was escorted to the front of the platform, and was pre-
sented by the Lord Bishop with a suitably inscribed silver trowel.
His Lordship addressed Mrn. Denman as follows : —

" It is my pleasing duty to present you with this silver trowel, and
to request you, in the name of those assembled, to perform the office
of laying the corner-stone of a church to the honour of our God.
Since your brave husband and you were among the first to urge on
thi.>> holy undertaking, and to set an example by offijring the largest
contribution to the work, we iieel there is a peculiar fitness in the pa)-t
we now hope you will take."

Mrs. Denman having deposited in the cavity a glass jar, contain-
ing papers and coins, then laid the stone, saying, at the close, " This
stone is laid in faith and hope to the honour and glory of God,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." The prayers being then
concluded,

His Excellency Governor Kennedy addressed the assemblage,
saying that this was one of the most interesting occasions he had en-
joyed since coming to this colony, and he hopbd that the first sound of
the church-going bell would serve to remind many of the truth they
had learned iu youth, and which too many, he feared, had now for-
gotten. All would be taught in this building that God is a loving,
and. often a punishing Power. The truths preached might be the
means of bringing many back to the paths from which they had
strayed to a proper respect for religion. He rejoiced to see members
of other sects in attendance ; their presence showed that the modera-
tion and liberality with which the ministers of the Church of England
had performed their duties, and aided others to perform theirs, had
met with full appreciation. A rivalry there might be, but he hoped
it would be ever of a nature to tench all to do right, and point out
the way to everlasting life. His Excellency expressed the thanks of
the colony to Admiral and Mrs. Dunman, for the aid which they had
given this church, and said that the donors might remember with a
feeling of gratification, in after yeai'S, that they had been instrumental
in erecting a noble building; for the worship and glorification of their
Creator.

The Chief Justice snid that St. Paul's was the eighth episcopal
church establinhed iu this colony, a fact that bore wituess to the un-
wearying zeal and energy of the ministers of that denomination. The
spiritual requirements of the community of Esquimalt were great.
It had the honour to be a great naval station, and the town had a
duty to perform in return for the honour conferred upon it. The
church that was shortly to rise from the ground on which he stood
was a response to this feeling. Thore were sometimes ships at anchor
in Esquimau harbour with 400 or 500 souls in their bosoms, without
a chaplain, which raised up a want for a church. It was impossible
to pay the dobt of gratitude that all owed to the great spiritual leader,
the Lord Bishop. When he (the Chief Justice) first came to this
colony, he shed tears of grtiitude to find an episcopacy here that was
a reflex of that of dear old England. The colony was indebted to the
ladies, but especially to the fair and noble lady who had stimulated,
not only by words but by deeds, this great and good work. Let hope
be swallowed up in certainty, and let all lend their powerful aid in
advancing the cause of Christ. All hail and all hallow to it ! And
when the building shall have crumbled to dust, and the records which
have been deposited to lay beneath this foundation shall be uncovered
by those who adore the great God, may they be enabled to look back
and say, " This stone was laid, and this seed was sown, by our Pilgrim
Fathers."

His Lordship the Bishop of Columbia next came forward and
delivered the following eloquent address : —

" It is now almost seven years since the little school-room near this
spot was erected through the zealous exertions of the Rev. R. Duudas.
Since then, iu that building divine service has been conducted. The
congregation having now outgrown the accommodation, and Esquimalt
having become the dockyard, as well as the head-quarters, of Her
Majesty's Navy in the Pacific, the time has come for placing the minis-
trations of religion in a more worthy and suitable position. The
church which is about to be erected will be an ornament to the neigh-
bourhood, and at the same time sufficient to contain the local con-
gregation, and also the crews of ships which may be destitute of
chaplains. We are still a thousand dollars short of the necessary
funds, a fact which we trust all present to-day will carefully treasure
up, and practically consider. Why have we had all this ceremonial
to-day ? Is* it not because the cause is worthy of all honour ? It is
the cause of our God, and of the souls of men — it is the cause of true
civilization and enlightenment of the mind. If the inauguration of
any public work is worthy of honour, how much more this ? Such
a commencement too is agreeable to tlie will of God, as revealed to us
in the Scriptures. There we read that, ' When the builders laid the
foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their
apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with
cymbals, to praise the Lord after the ordinance of David, king of
Israel. And they sang together by course, in praising and giving
thanks unto the Lord, because He is good, for His mercy endureth for
ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout

vihen they praised the Lord, heco'-ise the fuiindatiou of the house of
tlie Lord was hiid.' So we liRvo now done, and with how much more
cause for praise and honour, in this fouudutiun of a Christian Church.
As citizens of Britain, our duty is to carry forward the Christian
civilization of our mother-hind. No country can prosper where God
is not honoured and his laws respected. No greater judgment or
Ciilaraity can befall any country in whose councils men prevail who
fear not God nor regard the precepts of the Gospel. We desire, there-
fore, to plant broad and deep the foundations of that Church under
wliioh our mother-country has been blessed and prospered. We are
pleased to see hei'e amongst us uot merely our own brave seamen, but
lepresiUtatives of the gallant navy of the United States. From the
north to the south, from the east to the west of those States, extends
a branch of the Anglican Church, which has had a happy influence in
the pacification of the country after its recent trial. Far more effec-
tive for the peace of natious are the bonds of the Christian Brother-
hood than mere self-interest, over which the passions of men will too
often prevail. May this mingling to-day of the two navies be an
augury of peace between the nations. But the object we have in view
here is not merely to plant the Church, but to further that for which
the Church of Christ was founded, even to promote the honour of
God and the salvation of souls. In no way more effectually may the
glory of our merciful God be set forth than by exhibiting His love to
man in the gift of His Son. In this place we trust will ever be faith-
fully set forth a Saviour crucified, and his ordinances duly administered.
Al V our brave seamen, as they come here from their village homes in
Britain, find the ' Church-going bell,' and the sights and sounds within
the walls of this future sanctuary, a blessed and grateful likeness of
what they have left behind in their ioved and distant home. Abundant,
alas ! are the incentives to sin ; but here will be carried on, through the
spirit of God's blessing. His own appointed means, the conversion and
renewal of the human heart, whereby, in the great future of all, many
shall be added to the multitude of the redeemed in bliss. May we all
who have participated in the service of to-day, not treating it as a
sj)ectacle to be gazed \ipon, but as an occasion for humble prayer for
the Divine blessing, be oixrselves built up more and more a spiritual
house, with Christ our Saviour for the corner-stone, upon whom who-
soever trusts he shall inherit everlasting life."

His Lordship was frequently interrupted by applause, and at the
close of his remarks pronounced a blessing on those present, when
H. M. ships Sutlej and Scout thundered forth a salute in honour of the
occasion, aud after the National Anthem by the band, the assemblage
retired.

GOOD FEELING OF AMERICAN SEAMEN TOWARDS THE NEW CHURCH.

One o^her circumstance of much interest, as exhibiting a feeling of
generosi* and cordial good-will, deserves especial mention. The
America tailors on board the United States ship of war, Saginaw,
then lying in the harbour at Esquimalt, collected amongst themselves
the sum of 8/. as i donation towards the funds for the erection of the
new ohurch.

" My dear Lord, — May I thus address you, b>'.ving had the honour
and comfort (for I may truly say that I feol it to have been both), df
hearing you three tinios speak of your see, and of your work — once at
Winchester and twice at Torquay — and, moreover, in a dim distance
of time it seems to me that you once came to see us at Hursley. I do
not exactly know your present address, but I shall hope to fall in with
you by touching at 79, Pall Mall — I mean by addressing this note to
you there : it is to accompany a cheque for 145/., the 100/. being an offer-
ing from the Rev. W. M. Darnell, once on a time my tutor at Oxford,
now Bishop Butler's worthy successor in the Rectory of Stanhope.
The odd 45/. is from myself and my wife, to make 50/. with a cheque
for 51. oflTered at Torquay the other day. Since then I hear you have
been in Ireland, I hope with good success, for it would indeed be an

which you have !uet the trials of your official position, and cannot
doubt that Her Majesty hos highly vulued the ability and the integrity
by wliich you have so for guided our young colony, at a serious crisis
of its political and commercial history ; and wo desire further to add
our decj) sense of the uniform consistency with which you have main-
tained tlie character of our common country, as the representative of
our beloved Sovereign.

" Deeply convinced that no people can permanently prosper which
docs not recognise in its councils that ' wisdom which cometh down
from above,' and whereby alone ' kings can reign and princes declare
justice,' wo are thankful that we have ever found your Excellency's
ready sympathy and aid in every good work, whether of religion, of
education, or benevolence, which we have been permitted to undertake.

" Addressing you, as we now do, as the Bishop and Clergy of the
Anglican Church, to whom it has pleased God to commit so largely
the spiritual care of this rising community, we beg to express our
thankfulness for the support which has been constantly rendered to
the best and highest interests of society by yourself and family, in the
example of practical Christian life, of careful observance of the Lord's
day, and of reverent attendance in the house of God.

" lu conclusion, we earnestly pray for your Excellency and family

^ health and safety during your homeward voyage, happy reunion with

relatives and friends, and a long course of continued usefulness and

service, in whatever scene of duty and of honour it may please God in

His Providence to call you.

"We are your Excellency's faithful servants: — G. Columbia; Ed-
ward Cridge, B.A. Dean of the Cathedral ; Samuel Gilson, M.A. Arch-
deacon of Vancouver ; Alex. C. Garrett, B.A. Principal of Indian
Missions ; Charles T. Woods, M.A. Principal of the Collegiate School ;
W. S, Reece, M.A. Missionary Clergyman of Cowicheu; Percival
Jenns, Incumbent of Nanaimo ; T. Reynard, Missionary Clergyman."

At the conclusion of the address the (xovemor, with emotion and
marked feeling, read the following Reply : —

" My Lord Bishop, and (Jentlemen, — I accept your parting words
with deep satisfaction. If in the discharge of my duty to our Sove-
reign I have been enabled to co-operate with the Bishop and Clergy
in the promotion of any good work, and have had the opportunity of
supporting and aiding them in their labours, I most heartily rejoice j
and I gratefully acknowledge the ready and willing assistance I have
received from your Lordship and the Clergy in any effort I may have
made for the increase of religion, virtue, and morality.

" In conclusion, I most cordially thank you for your good wishes,
I shall long retain a lively remembrapce of your public labours and of
your personal good-will."

After much interesting conversation the deputation withdrew. —

ITEMS OF THE MISSION.

PROGRESS OF THB ORUROH.

SmoB the last Report, parsonages have boon built at Yale and Cow
ichen. St. Paul's Churon, Nanaimo, has been consecrated. Chrint
Church, Victoria, has been enlarged, consecrated, and named as the
Cathedral of the Diocese.

The Boys* Collegiate School, Victoria, has been considerably en-
larged.

The College for Qirls has been built and opened, and a School for
half-breeds has been opened in Victoria.

OHUROH DESTROYED UY FIRE.

^ Trinity Church, New Westminster, was totally destroyed by fire
the evening of September 18th, 1865. Happily the bells presented
by Miss Coutts, with the tower, were preserved.

ADDITIONAL CLERGY.

The following clergy have been added to the Mission since the last
Report:— The Rev. F. B. Gribbell, the Rev. W. S. Heyman, and
the Rev. T. Reynard. The Rev. J. Sheepshanks returned to the
diocese April, 1866.

APPOINTMENT OF DEAN TO THE CATHEDRAL.

Christ Church, Victoria, having been named the Cathedral of the
Diocese, the Rev. Edward Cridge, who, until 1859, was the sole repre-
sentative of the Anglican Church in the British dominions on the
Pacific, was appointed Dean, December 7th, 1865. The long residence
and &ithful services of Dean Cridge have caused the appointment to
be received with satis&ction by all classes in the colony.

THE TELEGRAPH TO VICTORIA.

The important connexion l^tween Victoria and the Atlantic by
telegraph was completed April 24th, 1866, and messages were
exchanged during the day between Governor Kennedy and the Presi-
dent of the United States. By the completion of the Atlantic cable
in August last, English news has been received in half a day. Great
public rejoicings took place in Victoria.

BAPTISM OF EIGHTT-TWO INDIANS BT THE BISHOP.

On Whit-Sunday, 1866, sixty-five adults and seventeen children
were baptized by the Bishop of Columbia at the Church Missionary
Station, at Metlacatla.

6BBM0N TO THE MORMONS.

In the last Report there was a notice of a sermon preached in the
Temple of the Mormons, Salt Lake City, by the Rev. J. Sheepshanks,

in his teinpowry nbsenco from tho dioooso. Tho following oxtmot
from a letter of Commaiulor Vorney, dated (Jroiit Salt Lake City,
July 18th, 1860, thus alludoa to the ciroiimstanco : — " I lodge in the
same house that Sheepshanks lodged in when he was here. His visit
made a great impres^^ion, which the ^[ormon Elders studied to remove
for some time after his departure. Those (lentilcs who heard him say
that nothing could have been more forcible and more full of taot than
his sermon to the Mormons."

DEPAUTURE OF THE MISSES PENRICE.

The departure of Miss Cathurino and Miss Anna Penrice took place
August, 18 Go, amid many regrets from all clvses. For five yoara
these good ladies had devoted themselves unselfi^iily and unremittingly
to tho work of God in the diocese. Many, especially of tho young,
will never forget their kind instruction, loving care, and holy .-xample.

DEPAUTURE OK OOVERNUK KENNEDY..

Yesterday, the Lord Bishop of Columbia concluded an oxceMo/a
Bormon at the Cathedral with the following allusion to tho approaci iug
departure of (Jlovernor Kennedy and family : "It is not unui '^mg before
I conclude that I should make allusion to a circnmstanc; wriioh is in
the minds of all to-day, that this is the lost time we shall have amongst
us in this house of God a family whose kindness and sympathy we
shall long remember with gratitude. As a community at large, we
cannot but consider the event as one of unusual importance. Many
who do not attend here will participate in the regrets which we, as a
congregation, especially feel. For have wo not walked together in the
house of God as frieiids, and have we not all been strengthened and
encouraged in our holy duties by their example 1 How constantly has
that seat been occupied, notwithstanding all weathers ; and how steady
the support we have had in all our congregational undertakings. I
am sure I represent tho general feeling of this congregation when I say
we sh^ll long remember them with affection, respect, and gratitude,
that we shall follow them with our Christian 'ufvrest to whatever part
of the world they may be called, and that our prayers are now offered
for their safe journeying homewards, and for their future health and
fullest happiness." The kind words of the Bishop quite overcame the
members of the Governor's family who were present. — British
Colonist, Oct. 23, 18G6.

UNION OF THE COLONIES.

The two colonies of Vancouver and British Columbia are now
united into one — the whole called British Columbia. The Act passed
the Imperial Parliament last August.

Mr. Frederick Seymour is the Governor, and will probably reside
partly in Victoria, and partly in New Westminster.

^*^ The season of Lent, preceding Eastertide, has been set apart in
the Christian Church from the earliest times for sjiecial meditation,
prayer, and hearing of the word, with acts of self-denial and charity.

Well kept, it has ever tended to promote true religion, and to
quicken the growth of faith in the soul of man.

We commend this matter to Him who alone is able to ** give the
increase." May He be pleased to revive His work in our midst, for
His Sou's sake.
