The poronl Societies were properly consulujd^lhoir only obioct was lo ol.tam the Rrentcat amount of good, and tlicy not only concurred in our propowl, but cncoorii. ..d it l.y their bounty to our own luhurch Society. Instead of dimuitthlng thoir afwi»l»inoe to ut, Ihev In.vo Pctnully enlori;cd it, and arc still suslninin^ our Missioni, cducatinR our candidate, fw the Mm- isliy suoplvii." us with aid in building our Churches, and distributing Bibles, Prayer-booM, and other iiiouns of rdigidus iiisiruclion I must ncKoowled'e that with these circumstances immediately in view, 1 cannot understand how any serious and lellcclin- member of our ffock can thhik it consistent with his duty and aflectionot« gra. tiludo to these n<.blc Institutions, in which every Protestant Bishop in the British Empire is «" oll«d, to form a nkw Cununillce of a n, w Society, having no fellowship with these vencral)le Associttlions, dttd no sanction from the Heads of the Church. . . .». r^ •.. r .u n . But this is not all— Our own Church Society has been formed, and the Committee of the Parent Society whifli was or«anisud here, has been merged in this Society. It 'm* b«en in useful operation, with Kiiidunlly incifasing usefulness ; its progress has been encouraging, and testimony to the blessings it (onfcis by its humble means, pours in upon us from all parts of the Diocese. But unhappily, those means ns yet ore too hmitcd— few of us have done as much as we ought to do for their enlargement. Alihon-h we may jhankfnily acknowledge the rogulni attention of many of its members to the manage- moot of its concerns, we find that others, whose help we desire, can hardly give us their time for an hour or iwo in each month. Can it be supposed they will have more time at their command to give to us when another Association shall call for their attendance ? We l.ave not yet attained a fourth part of the income we ought to have, and unless it be largely increased, wo shall not only be unable to maintain our pirscnt position, but shall be compelled within two or three years, to give up the two visiting Mission- aries, whom alter much search, we have lately found, and, to the j«.y of the whole Church, have sent to distant ohiccs, whoso religious destitution has been long and deeply lamented, both here and in England. Is it lensoiiiiblc lo suppose that the necessary enlaigcment of our funds will be moio readily obtained, when the persons to whom wo look for it have new demands upon tliein from a new Assocmlion, which they have loimcd ? If the members of the Church should have anything to spare, after tJieir duty to the Church Society is disclunged, the College, which is essential to the piosjHjrity of the Church, has very ui-'ciit need lor all the hielp that can be given to it. With such calls upon all the members of tlie Ciiuiciras now surround us, it cnnnot be the time for introducing new jlemands, unless the objects be unexceptionable in the view of all, and the mode of carrying them forward be equally unexceptionable ; and unless the piosecution of such objects be of paramount necessity, ami they can bo obtained by no other means. But I will enlarge no further on those topics at present. Upon several occasions I have said that I would gladly encourage an increase of pious and well qualified schoolmasters in connexion with the Church. But I have always considored it essential to their lospectability and usefulness, that they shonld be under the real directiw wid control of tl>6 Clergyman, in whose parish or mission they may be placed. I have no inclination to recede from any proposal I have made, and if I understand your paper of Objertims and Replies, I may consider your Committee disposed to meet the wislies I have expressed m reference to such Schoolmasters. The union of all the members of the Church ought to be as dear to you as it is to me, and therefore I will now suggest a course by which I think such union may be preserved, and leave it for the serious consideiation of your Committee. If there be division among us, with its natural effects, we are surrounded by numbers, who have evil will for our Zion> artd will rejoice, and triumph, and be strengthened. , ..,.*,• You are aware that Aid lo Sunday and olher Schools in which due attention x» pS?"^nMence of information which I have received from England within the present year.
