• I)■ * I ' v OF THE '// * t [ EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, 8fc: .ill T H E Committee entered upon the labours assigned them by the Conference of 1815, under circumstances which greatly en­ couraged the hope, that the im portant work confided to their m anagement, would present, at the close ot the year, those indi­ cations of prosperity and progress, which would not only^ fully repay them for their attention, but at once aftord the highest satisfaction to the numerous friends of the missionary cause, and engage their increased zeal and exertion for its support and.
enlargement.

T h e favourable reception of the missionaries sent to Ceylon ; the successes of their early labours ; and their earnest entreaties for additional help, in order to awiii themselves of those oppor­ tunities of promoting the cause of Christ, which, in every direc­ tion, presented themselves, had given a new impulse to the mis­ sionary zeal of the M ethodist societies and congregations.
They saw that M ethodist missions had a providential designation to the eastern as well as to the western world ; whilst the addi­ tional light which was thrown on the wretched condition of the millions of Asia, by the communications of the missionaries, had more deeply awakened their sympathies, and kindled more ar­ dent desires to make known to them the grace and salvation of the glorious gospel.

T he lamented death of the late Rev.

D r. C oke had itself heightened those feelings.


T he work in which his soul had so greatly delighted, and in the prosecution of which he died, seemed to derive new interest from those retrospections to which the contemplation of his life, character, and labours, necessarily led ; and his loss, whilst it dictated the necessity of the exertions of the many to supply the efforts of one, diffused the spirit of his holy zeal with those regrets which consecrated his memory.
4 T h e form ation o f M issionary Societies, and the meetings held for th at purpose, had also a large share in awakening a deeper and m ore general concern for the conversion o f the heathen.
M issions to various parts of the world had long been conducted b y the M ethodist Conference, and supported with great liberality ; and the W e st In d ia Mission, in particular, stands a noble monu­ m ent o f the faithful labours o f the missionaries, and of the libe­ ral support they m et with at home : bu t by the operation of those societies, the deplorable state o f the heathen was more fully displayed, th e motives for the exertion of Christians were en­ forced, and the encouraging prospects of success in this great cause unfolded.
Persons in all ranks of society had offered their service of time and money, and plans were adopted which pro­ mised a pôrm anent and increasing supply for the support and enlargem ent of those benevolent undertakings, by which alone the blessings o f Christianity can be fully communicated to man­ kind.

u : T h e hopes which these circumstances excited in the Com m ittee have no t been disappointed.
Success, in different degrees, h as crow ned the labours of the missionaries ; a num ber of suitable young men have devoted themselves to this departm ent of the w ork of O d d ; the attention o f the Comniittee has been called to new and im portant stations o f great prom ise; the liberality of the public has enabled the Com m ittee considerably to increase the num ber o f missionaries ; and the spirit of Christian zeal which anim ates th e bosoms of the num erous friends of the M etho­ dist missions, expanded, and corroborated as it is by the spirit o f prayer, offered with increased ardour, and m ore direct reierence to the success of missions, promises th a t perm anence ot prin­ ciple, and activity of operation, which m ust issue, under the continued blessing of God, in the diffusion of the knowledge o f C hrist, w ith all its train of blessings, civil, religious, and eternal.
ív / : Í T h e Com m ittee beg leave respectfully to lay before the pubhc the following view of the present state and prospects ot the mis­ sions under their direction.

G IB R A L T A R .

B y the intelligence received from this station, it appears that the society and congregation continue to increase; and that the good effects o f the labours o f the missionaries appointed there, from time to time, have been duly appreciated.
Protection and encouragem ent were liberally afforded by the local governm ent.

A____ .1 _ *_____ 1___ __L ‘ K _!_ fhic s * is the attention paid to the reformation and instruction of the num erous soldiery composing th at garrison.

M any of them have at different times been truly converted to God, and have v been the means of manifesting the savour o f the knowledge o f Christ” in various parts o f the world ; and of promoting sobriety, order, and piety in the British army.
M r.T hom as Davies lately sailed from this country to succeed M r. Benjamin W ood.

T h e num ber of persons in society is 53.

B R U S S E L S .

A few months ago, at the request o f some pious English residents in Brussels, M r. Robarts was sent to that city, for the purpose of affording the means of Protestant instruction to our countrymen there, and to ascertain whether any facilities offered themselves to communicate the pure gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the inhabitants at large.
By several pious persons, both English and French Protestants, M r. Robarts was kindly received, and his ministry encouraged.

Antwerp and a few other" places were also visited; and though the p.ospects are not of the most flattering kind, owing to the general irréligion, su­ perstition, and infidelity of that p art of the Continent, they arc yet sufficiently encouraging to w arrant a still further trial.
Ac­ cordingly M r. D e Kerpezdron has been appointed to the Brussels mission, with directions also to visit Antw erp; and as he preaches in French, English, and German, it may be prem m ed that he will I5e able fully to ascertain what disposition may exist to encourage an attem pt to revive religion in a country which presents a moral aspect so barren and affecting.
T h e doctrines taught by the Methodists, and enforced in the sermons of M r. Robarts, and in the tracts which have been circulated by him, appear to have made considerable impression 011 many minds, and to have been gladly received by several pious persons in the Netherlands.
Affectionate letters have been received by the Committee from the French Protestant minister at Brussels, ami M onsieur Mertens, an eminent merchant, breathing a truly Christian spirit, and containing sentiments highly favourable to the mission ; and should it please God so to crown the attempt with his blessing, that, besides its direct influence, it may be the means of reanimating the zeal of the pious who are scattered abroad on the continent, and to bring them to a full acquaintance with those spiritual docw/ines, which have at home been so greatly owned of God, and preached with so much success in the salva­ tion of men, this mission will acquire a character of great im­ portance.
T he Committee commend it therefore to the prayers o f a l l w h o hfiVp s iir ltp rl n v n r f o l l ^ n r*r»n^irir»n ni* r o K s r i o n « professedly Christian E urope, and to the blessing o f H im w h o h a i promised to return to those churches who listen to his reproofs, a n d “ s t r e n g t h e n the things which remain and arc ready to die.” F R A N C E .
T h e conclusion of the war with F rance, and the restoration of t h e comm unication between the two countries, naturally threw the societies which had m any years before been raised up there, upon the renewed care of the Committee.
Several French missionaries were accordingly sent over, who found the remains of this faithful people, and had begun to extend their labours with -'ood pros­ pects of success, when the resum ption o f the governm ent by .Buonaparte, and the subsequent troubles of the country, obliged them to a tem porary retirem ent.
Since the second restoration of th e Bourbon family, the mission hafj been resumed, and M r. - Ollivier is now employed in confirming the societies, and in en­ deavouring to extend the work of God.

T h e following is the rep o rt of M r. Toase, who has lately vfsited France, on the present state of the mission.

_ “ D u rin g my visit to France, I was mucu affected with the general disregard of tru e Religion, and the great laxity of morals which appeared generally to prevail.
However, as in Sodom there was f o u n d a righteous L ot, so in F rance there are now found a precious few who walk with G o d in simplicity and sincerity ot h eart.

In the villages of Beuviiie and Periere, near Caen, we have two congregations of about 100 pérson» each, and 1 j mem­ bers in society.

M r. Ollivier has spent some months in that neigh­ bourhood, has m et with an affectionate reception, and been in­ strum ental of good to the people.
H e has got access to two other villages, at a short distance from Caen, where there is some pros­ p e c t i f good.

I have only to add, th at the few people in society are m uch attached to our doctrine and discipline.” II.

A S I A .I I, ./ 1 C E Y L O N .

T h e last R eport m entioned the death o f D r. Coke?

and the arrival of the missionaries at the place^oi their destination.
T h e m anner of their reception, and the stations in which, after solemn prayer for divine direction, they fixed themselves, in order to pro­ secute the abject o f their mission, are already known to the public; a n d nothing remains for the Committee to add on this subicct, b u t to acknowledge the kind hand oi G od iu their di»- posa], and the thanks they owe to those pious persons on the island, who, from the beginning, have interested themselves in th eir personal comfort, and in the promotion of their object,— the conversion of the idolatrous inhabitants.
O ne of those distin­ guished persons, adorning exalted rank and station by every Christian virtue, and consecrating power by employing it only to benefit m ankind, is, alas !

no mofio.
L ord Molesworth perished in the A rniston transport on his passage hom e; and the Com­ m ittee join their regrets with those of the Christian world at the loss of a nobleman deeply devoted to the cause of religion, and the decided friend ot missions ; whose concern for the salvation o f the idolatrous subjects of the British empire in’the E ast would, had he lived, have led him at home to animate by his real, and direct by his counsels, those plans for their evangelization, which his conduct to the \V esleyan Missionaries in Ceylon, showed how ardently he patronized abroad.
T h e arrival of the missionaries in Ceylon, is noticed in the second Report of the Columbo Auxiliary Bible Society, established under the immediate patron­ age of the government, in the following terms :— \ o u r Committee cannot pass unnoticed a recent circumstance which, however independent of the proceedings of this Society, is yet a subject also of congratulation, because it is happily calcu­ lated to promote the grand object of their institution.
Five missionaries of respectable character, recommended by several distinguished persons of the highest reputation, have lately been sent to this country under the immediate sanction of his Majesty’* government.

They are all W esleyan Methodists, and were en­ gaged in a mission to Ceylon under the superintendence of D r. Coke, who most unfortunately died on his passage a short time before the ship arrived at Bombay.
“ T he loss, at the present moment, of a man like D r. Coke, cannot be sufficiently lamented : zeal, ability, and perseverance, tempered by a mature judgm ent, are wanting to promote the; great work of establishing genuine Christianity in the East.
“ I t is to every sincere Christian an object of the most anxious solicitude, that the first missionaries who came into British India under the avowed sanction of the King’s government, should so regulate their zeal in the propagation of the gospel, as hy their prudence to overcome those prejudices which have so Ion»- resisted even the attempt.

From his age, experience, and known character, we had every reason to expect this discretion from D r. Coke- and we have little reason to doubt the devoted zea!
of a man who died m his 67th year, on his 19th voyage across the Atlantic upon a religious mission.

?

W'-h. reason be hoPed’ that his surviving friends have i n i n i n i e p im ~ cj n * close intimacy of a long voyage, to carry into execution those i^lans which Providence had perm itted him only to devise.

T hey have already begun in a m anner to create a general prepossession in their favour.
« T h e selection of this island, as the first object of an author­ ized mission, is a proof of the tem perate deliberation with which th e m easure has been concerted, and a rational ground for con­ fiding under Providence in its final success.

A rash, headlong zeal would have courted the difficulties of a mission to Bengal, or th e peninsula of India.
B u t the natural place for men to choose, w ho have really at heart the prom otion of Christianity in B ritish In d ia , is beyond all doubt the Island of Ceylon.
“ I t is th at island where a zealous missionary may have at once free scope to exert all his powers ; and when once the Christian religion is there firmly established, it will easily spread, under th e to every p art o f the In d ian blessing of D ivine Providence, em pire.th^r^ j , eport of tj)e Columbo Bible Society makes honour­ able m ention of the diligence and usefulness of the brethren a t th eir respective stations, after the lapse of a year; and the Com­ m ittee b rin g forth these testimonies under the persuasion, that it m ust mve the greatest satisfaction to all the subscribers to the M ethodist Missions, to learn from authority which cannot be sus- pected of partiality, th at the men who have been sent ont at their expence have made “fu l l proof o f their ministry.” T h e ir pro­ ceedings, indeed, have been such as a sleepless zeal for the gloiy o f G od, and the salvation of men, alone c o u l d dictate ; and they have exhibited a striking model of the tru e missionary character to all who may follow them in their benevolent career.
By adopt­ in g the method of preaching by interpreters, they have prevented th a t loss of tim e which would have been occasioned by their re­ m aining unemployed t i l l they had mastered the native tongues ; In some instance» and their attem pts have been owned of G od.
their P a^an and M ahom etan interpreters have been converted; feeling the saving power of those truths, they were employed m erely to transm ît to others; and imperfect ns the mode ot teaching bv interpretars must necessarily be, the gospel, even thu* inadequately announced, has proved to the hearers o f God unto salvation.” Some priests of Budhu, and -everal natives, bath M ahom etans and Budh.sts, have been brought o know The “ living and true God, and Jesus Christ w&om he hat/i sent;” and the learning, rank, and influence of some of thesei con­ verts have given an impressiveness to their example which fia» been very extensively felt.
T h e testimony of the R eport of the Columbo Bible Society to ^ o t n t i n n n o c HPPTl UISC _ __!

____ « y-i i 9 given ; of the pressing necessity which existed and still exists for Missionary efforts there, the most affecting evidence is afforded by every communication from this quarter.
T he religion of Budhu, a form of Paganism, which more extensively enclaves the race of man than any other, being, with slight shades of differ­ ence, the superstition of two-thirds of the i d o l a t r o u s inhabitants of the whole earth, is the prevailing religion o f Ceylon.

In the midst of an immense num ber of gods, 30,000 of whose names they know, they are truly without God in the world.
T heir chief god Mahabrachma, probably the traditional true G od, they place in the highest of their 26 heavens, excluding him from all concern in human affairs, and refusing him all religious worship w hatever; thus professing “ to know G o d ” but “ glorifying him not as G o d ” and leaving themselves “ without excuse.” With the worship of Budhu, of whom they have the most confused and contradictory accounts, they associate the worship of devils, and erect their dewalas, or devil's house*, close to their temples.
T heir priests, though some of them are men of considerable eru­ dition, are in general a body of artful impositors, who prey upon the credulity of the people, and make a gain of their ignorance though not so rigo­ and vices.

"The infernal institution of caste, rous as among the followers of Brahma, exists in a form which entails great misery on the people, and exhibits additional proof of that unfeelingness which in different degrees characterises every kind of heathenism.
Those of the lowest caste are in a state of the deepest degradation.

They live in the woods by themselves, Ind o­ and are never suffered to come near any town or village.
lence, and vices of the most odious kinds, m urder, incest, adul­ tery, fornication, perjury, and falsehood fill up the shades of this dark picture of society among the followers of Budhu in Ceylon ; jior can a more favourable view be presented of the moral condi­ tion of the other sects of idolaters, or of the Mahomedans, who are mixed with the original inhabitants.

T he state of the native Christians unhappily differs but little from that of the heathen.
“ As to the Catholics,” says Mr. Lynch, “ very few of them have a rational idea of God ; some of the.n can­ not tell who made the world or themselves ; and have no knowledge o f that evr*r-adorable person called Jesus.

And of the thousands o f Christians reported to be in the province of Jaffna, I am per­ suaded there are not 200 who know the principles of Christianity, or wherein it differs from the religion of Budhu or M ahom et: I mean native Protestants.
T he Dutch Protestants are professed Calvinists ; but very f e w of them know any thing about their reli­ gious principles, and the Sabbath-day evenings are the usual sea­ sons for their dances and balls of every kind.” T» i o t o counteract these evils, to raise the character of the natiid Christians, and to communicate Christianity to the Pagan inha- bitants, the Missionaries are exerting themselves in preaching, teaching schools, circulating tracts, and disputing with the p riests; anti, in this they have the ardent and unwearied co­ operation of the clergy of the Island, and other Missionaries.
T h e ir itinerant labours appear to he greatly blessed.

M r. Clough w rites, “ W e spend our sabbaths in visiting the viilages from five to ten miles round Columbo, preaching to the people, and cate­ chising the children by interpreters.

A t present there are two native Cingalese preachers, together with M r. A rm our, who preaches also in Cingalese, who act in concert with us.
We hold a preachers’ meeting at our house every Friday, to report the labours o f the preceding Sunday, and to fix our stations for the following one.

By this means we supply 13 or 14 villages with preaching every sabbath-day ; and in some places wc have 4 or 500 o f the poor natives who regularly attend preaching*” A t Calaany, one o f the most sacred places of B udhu idolatry, so g rea t was the success of their preaching, that a subscription was com m enced am ong thé natives, to build a Church.
Similar subscriptions for the erection of Churches have also been begun sit other villages.

T h e effects produced by these labours are alread y visible and extraordinary.

In the same letter M r. Clough that, “ In some villages a general reformation has taken states, place.

A people who disregarded the sabbath, and considered it as a common day, have now the greatest reverence for it.
Instead o f buying and selling, labouring or going about taking pleasure, th ey crowd to h ear the word of God preached ; and several o f th e villages are as free from labour, trade, and traffic, and noise, as most o f the towns and villages in England.

These appear­ ances may well, and indeed do, encourage us.” T h e attem pt to revive the plan of religious instruction adopted h y the D utch Governm ent, will also be read with interest.
M r. 'C lough write&, “ T h e w^hole of the British dominions which they possessed before they conquered the kingdom of Candy, is divi­ d e d into regular parishes, and each parish has a church, or what m ay be called a school, which serves both purposes.

In the time o f the D utch, these churches were in good repair, and to each th ere wère three school-masters, and a catechist-master.
T h e school-m asters taught the children to read ; the catechist-master instructed them in the Christian religion ; and then to every district there was a native preacher, who superintended the whole.

B u t since the English took the Island the churches are gone to r i ’in ; the native preachers are all dead, and none are p u t in their places.
M any of the catechists however, remain, and in all the parishes a regular supply of school-masters has been kept up, wh# 11 fcave built in some places tem porary churches to instruct the boys in ; and we are now going to see if we cannot revive the whole system again, \ \ e lately visited 19 of these desolated churches, as­ sembled large congregations, and preached to them.

I shall visit some of the churches on the western coast.
B ut 1 do assure you I cannot describe the ignorance and misery of those who are called C hristians; they have been so long without any kind o f instruction.” Such are the labours in which the Missionaries are engaged* Qnd their success has not fallen below reasonable expectation; in some cases it has much exceeded it.
T he w’ork of true religion has been revived in the hearts of many Europeans; many of the native Christians have been convinced that the form of godliness alone will not avail them in the sight of God ; an inquiry after truth has been excited among the idolatrous inhabitants ; a good work has even been begun in the hearts of a num ber of M aho­ metans in the north of the Island ; and zealous native preachers have been raised up both among them, and the priests of Budhu ; from whose example, acquaintance with the native languages, and zeal for the cause of God?
much good is to be expected.

^An ac­ count of the^.

conversion of two Budhist priests of eminence will be found in the Appendix (No.

>.)
>.)

Others have followed their example, and it appears a singular fact in the history of this Mission, that from the inclination of the most eminent of the priests to colloquial disputation, and their patience in admitting the arguments in favour o f Christianity to be fully stated and impressed upon them, there is considerable probability that many of them will embrace the truth of God.
“ On the 5th of February,” says M r. Clough, in a letter dated February 16, 66 M r. Harvard and I went to one of their chief temples, where there are 15 priests.

W e stayed and argued with them, from m orning till late in the afternoon.

T he chief priest is a most learned man, and it is astonishing how acutely he can argue.
W e have reasoned with him some hun­ dreds of hours, and we received a letter from him the other day, from Columbo, where he is on a visit, to say he wished to have some very 'private conversation with us, for he began to be con­ vinced, that the Christian religion w*as the true one.

I f he be converted, it will be a wonderful thing, as half of the priests and temples in the Island, are under his controul.

T he above temple, where the 15 priests remain, is his head-quarters.
On Thursdau morning, we are going to preach in the same temple, which I believe will be such a thing, as was never known in this country before.

W eexpect it will be like an earthquake among the people, to hear that the Missionaries are preaching in the most celebrated temple in the Island.
One of the idols in this temple is 26 feet Ion*»-.” A number of still more interestino- particular*, relative tfTth* vz effects produced on the m inds of the priests of Budhu, by the m inistry of the Missionaries, are contained in the following extract of a letter, from M r. Clough to D r. Clarke, dated Jan u ary IS, 1816. the poem, th a t wrote “ T h e priest (a poem w ritten in, Cingalese, and sent by M r. Clough to D r .
Clarke,) is becom ing rath er a celebrated person as a C hristian ; in some of our late preaching excursions, we have taken him round the country with us, when he addressed large companies of people from bOO to 1000 at a time, in the most lively and eloquent m anner; and his character as a priest, was so well known before his conversion, th at wherever he comes the people recognise him, and it is most charm ing to see the effects produced by his public speeches.
T h e priests from almost every p a rt of the country come to attack him , and contend the m atter with him.

Some even out o f the inte­ rior, who knew him, and had heard of his conversion.

G reat num ­ bers of the superior order of priests, are deeply convinced o f the tru th of C hristianity.

B ut poor creatures, as soon as they throw off their priestly robes, if they are as rich as Solomon, they lose all, and have nothing to support them .
I t is our daily prayer, th a t G od may provide an asylum for such characters, until the tim e come when the inhabitants will support them as C hristian ministers.

“ W e have at this time, a fine youth who had been studying m any years for the priesthood, living with us as a servant, who vras so anxious to become a C hristian, that he was willing to for- sake his prospects as a priest, and become a servant to us.

T h e circum stances which led to his conversion, were rather singular.
O ne day M r.T w isleton took M r. H arv ard and me to a village, about twelve miles from Columbo, to preach to the inhabitants.

W h e n we were about to retu rn home, this young priest, with several others and their tutor came up, all elegantly dressed in th eir priestly robes.

T hey had been at a great feast, (i.e.

idol wor­ ship.)

and were returning ho me.

W hen M r.T .


saw them, lie called out “ M r. Clough there are some of your friends coming, go and speak with them .” Accordingly I went, and commenced a conver­ sation with the tu to r ; but he was so completely embarrassed, and unable to defend the essentials of his system, that the youths were struck, and begun to reason with him themselves, after we left them ; and notw ithstanding all ke could say, he could not satisfy th e young man in question.
So he forsook him, and came to us, and would not leave us.

W e told him o u r situation as M.-sion- aries ; but rath er than he would go back to his former mode cl Hie, _ he threw off' his robes, and became a servant to vs!!
“,Since the above, another young priest has laid aside his 13 to do any thing for the good of the cause of Christ, has kindly o £ fered to allow him a small sum monthly, just enongh to keep body and soul together, until he be qualified to act as a Christian school*master, or catechist-master, when he will r.eceive a small allowance from Government ; but never any thing equal to what his situation as a priest would afford him.” F or an account of the erection of a chapel, missionary-house, school-house, and printing-office, at Columbo, and the formation of Sunday schools in Ceylon, the Committee must also refer to the Appendix, (No.
2,) and conclude this part of their report, by stating, that the earnest calls of the brethren in Ceylon, wearing themselves out with excessive labours, for additional help, and the encouraging prospects of usefulness in that Island, and other parts of the East, induced the last Conference to appoint four additi­ onal Missionaries to Asia, who sailed in December last.

M r. M e Kenny from the Cape, had previously sailed for Ceylon ; and M r. H orner has since sailed for Bombay.
On the arrival of the brethren at Ceylon, M r. H arvard was to proceed to Madras.

Four others are also under designation to the same quarter of the globe.

N E W S O U T H W A L E S .

No information has yet been received of the arrival of brother Leigh, who was appointed to this station, more than 18 m onths ago.

T he society here is increased to 129.


M r. Davies has of late visiied several places in the neighbourhood of Free Town, and requests assistance, if it can be afforded, in order to extend the work.

“ If,” he observes, “ I coul 1 have left this place, I would have ço^ic into the interior, as faivas Timboo, the capital of the Feulah king.

I asked them if they would wi>h me to come into their country, to teach them G od’s book ; they expressed their wishes that 1 should come, and would mention my name to their king.

I should be glad to get a few Arabie bibles out, as I have frequent opportunities to send them to chile rent parts of Africa.
I long for the time, when “ Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands imto God.” In th at colony, great attention has been paid to schools, in Vvhich the negro children, accumulated there by the capture of In this im portant work, which by slave ships, are instructed.

Davies, before her death, had a school of 150 captured girls under her care, and the Committee deeply regret the loss of that excellent woman, whose character, talents, and unwearied zeal, rendered her so great a blessing to the echools, and so valuable an auxiliary to the mission.

M r. Davies, since the death of M rs.

Davies, has paid as m uch attention as possible, to the state of this school.

A ll the children, who are well, attend daily, and they are making considerable im­ provement.
In A pril last, Mr. Davies and M r. B utcher bap­ tized 105 of them in the school-house, on which occasion his ex­ cellency the G overnor attended.

A n additional married mission­ ary has been appointed, T H E C A P E O F G O O D H O P E .
A t this station, th e object of the mission has been extended, and a missionary appointed, with an express designation to pene­ trate the interior, and attem pt the conversion of the natives ; and thus to co-operate, though in a different scene of labour, in the benevolent plans of Christians of other denominations, who have already m ade laudable attem pts to raise the most degraded of th e hum an species, into civilized habits, and the knowledge of G od our Saviour, k F o r this work M r. Shaw, whose safe arrival at Cape Tow n, with the missionaries for Asia, the Committee are happy to an­ nounce, is qualifying himself by learning the D utch language.
H is excellency the Governor encourages the design, and the Com m ittee anticipate, that a missionary establishment will be form ed in the interior, where the word of life may be distributed to the perishing inhabitants.

In the mean time, M r. Shaw is employing himself, as opportunity offers, at Cape Town, and in the neighbourhood, where the spiritual state ot our small soci­ eties is such, as to afford m uch encouragement.
“ No where,” says M r. Shaw, 4iis there more need of faithful preaching, than in this large and populous town, (Cape T ow n,) As for the D utch, it is to b* reared, that they are generally strangers to the influence of C hristianity on th t heart and lifc.

The sabbath is profaned in the most offensive m anner, both by the Dutch and their slaves.
Some of them, however, do attend church, and a .lave may generally be seen following his master or mistress, car­ rying the books to the door of the house of God ; but he is not perm itted to enter.

T he dreadful and instigators of lamentable catastrophe at Barbadoes, was attributed to these causes ; and to make the deeper impression, it was pretended, that the slaves in the other islands were ready to follow the example ■ and that one necessary means of precaution against the appre­ hended evil, was to impose restrictions upon, or totally to pro­ hibit, the preaching, and especially the itinerant preaching 0f missionaries.

Such are the allegations, which have been urged against mis­ sionary labours, in those important dependencies of the British empire ; and as tar as they made their appearance in a late debate, on the Slave Registry Bill, in the House of Commons, they met with a sufficient refutation, in the full and honourable testimony, worne to the peaceable and proper couduet, and the useful exer- l n r • .

“ I, who am a holder of slaves, to the num ber of nearly 150, in the island of Barbadoes, and have allowed them to be in­ structed in the principles of Christianity, by tne missionaries in connection with you, have heard w i t h great pleasure and de|ig t, th e sentiments of the m eeting to-day.

H .” * The Committee can boldly assert, that none of the M ethodist missionaries, in any of the islands, can justly be charged with preaching sedition and insurrection ; on the contrary, as theu have been constantly instructed, they have avoided all interference in the civil relations between masters and their slaves; have in­ culcated submission, diligence, and fidelity, as essential branches ol Christian m orality; and have in all cases, subjected to reproof, or excluded from the society, all who have failed in those duties, bo established has been the character of the religious slaves for loyalty, that in some of the islands, under the apprehension of hostile invasion, M ethodist and Moravian negroes have been em­ ployed for m ilitary purposes, to the exclusion of all ethers; and so lully has ; t beep .understood, in the W est Indies, that the negroes taught by the missionaries, become superior to those who are left in their Pagan ignorance and vice, in industry, so­ briety, and faithfulness, that their price at the public auctions has been greatly advanced, by the statement of the fact, that they were religious negroes.
For interesting anecdotes on thèse sub­ jects, we refer to the Appendix, No.

Evidence of this kind might be collected from every island, where the religious instruction of the slaves has been perm itted- and so utterly unconnected was the insurrection a t JBarbadoes with missionary operations, that it is a fact, which well deserves notice, that they have been met there with more than usual resist­ that very little has at any time been done, towards the ance ; instruction of the negroes ; and that at the time of the insurrection for many months preceding, there was no M ethodist missi­ onary on the island.
T he fair inference indeed from the whole view ox the case is, and an inference not of friends only, but of enemies, (see Appendix, No.

5,) that if the slaves of Barbadoes had been diligently instructed, and brought under the influence of the gospel, no such event would have taken place.
T he opposition which has at different times been manifested in the W est Indies to the communication of religious instruction to the coloured popu­ lation, has never been able to ground itself upon a single instance of the pernicious tendency, of knowledge and Christianity.
Such a pretence can never be admitted, by any man who either under- stands the nature, necessary operation, and influence of truth and godliness ; or has paid any attention to that mass of evidence, in iavour of the effects of Christianity upon the civil quiet, and happiness of mankind, which has been rolled down the stream of 18 past aces, for the instruction and direction of the present.

T h e Committee, therefore, fully persuaded that in prosecuting the work in the W e st Indies, they are accomplishing the best ends of patriotism , as well as of piety, again commend this depart­ m ent of their missionary system, to the benevolence of the public.

T h e prejudices which in some places, and among some persons, in the islands, against the instruction of the slaves, are gradual y s i v i n -T place to better views.
Like the opposition formerly made St home, against the education of the poor, they m ust }'‘e'd ^ m ore extensive experience, and a calm er consideration erf“ the subject ; and nothing is necessary, but a prudent and perseverance on the p a rt of the friends of missions, and a simple denendance on the D ivine aid, to make their cause trium phant over the ignorance and vices o f the children of Africa, and over toreiudice and opposition themselves.

T he following extract from the minutes of the Antigua district meeting, will give a brief view of the spiritual state of the mission, in the different islands.

46 In Antigua, true piety increases.

T h e comforts resulting from a life devoted to God, are happily experienjeed by many, while otlvers are longing for brighter evidences of the divine favour.
Many have cast in their lot among us, in the country ; but in St. John's comparatively few, though the congregations are very large.

However, we trust, we shall see better days in St. John's.

• “ In St. Christopher's, our prospects are encouraging; and we have reason to believe that true piety is increasing.

“ In Nevis, the work of G od is prospering.

T he increase in our society would, no doubt, have been greater, had there been two missionaries to labour there.
“ In Tortola, the cause does not prosper ; many mcrftbers have been excluded, in the course of last year.

W e hope, however, that the cutting off of so many unfruitful branches will, by the blessing of God, tend to the good of those which remain.

A nd as the restraint, which prevented the slaves, upon several estates, from attending our chapel, is about to be removed, we anticipate better days.

the word : “ St. Vincent.

In Kingstown, the congregations are large, respectable, and serious.
T here seems to be a growing attention to and we believe the work in general has been deepening.
H aving fixed our habitations, to windward, and to leeward, and introduced additional means, the work has in some measure prospered in both these places, and our prospects are pleasing.” T h e following is an extract of a letter from one of our mission­ aries on that island :— “ After returning to St. Vincent, in February, 1815, with my worthy colleagues, Messrs. Dace and Bootbby, we judged it most eligible, as our field of labour was so very extensive, to fix our residence in three'different parts of the island, viz.
in towns to windward, and to leeward.

My station was to the n/i WIDfl 'Vflrrl nilflPtfW oKrtllf 1 ntl loc Iv/^rn I 20 not a building o f any kind, that we could call our own.

O n m entioning my intention to a gentlem an there, who has received the missionaries into his house, for more than twenty years, he very kindly gave me permission to reside in a house belonging to him , until we could erect one.
“ O u r societies in those parts consisted of about 800 members, all slaves, with the exception of two or three, and the greater p a rt of them Africans.

As they had been visited but once a fort­ their religious advantages had been very few.

T hey night, were much rejoiced at my going to reside among them.

W h e n week-night preaching was established, the sacram ent regularly adm inistered, and the various branches of our wholesome disci­ pline attended to, G od began to revive his blessed work.
N um ­ bers cast in their lot am ong us, resolved to forsake sin, and with G od’s people to live and to die : and genuine piety, I believe, was deepened in the hearts of many of the members.

T h e work, it is true, was but superficial with some ; and indeed, this is not to be wondered at, when we.
consider the great disadvantages under which they laboured, arising from their ignorance of our language, having been bu t a few years from Africa; and for want o f experienced leaders, who have both time and ability, to assist me.

Every sabbath I was employed, from m orning till evening,preach­ ing, m eeting societies, receiving new members, &c. having scarcely leisure to take a little bread and water, till I returned hom e in the evening.
But, praised be the L ord, he gave me strength prçportioned to my day, and I beheld his work pros­ pering throughout the year : so that, when we left the island, for the district meeting, our 800 members am ounted to 1100.

Upon the whole, I believe, that true religion is now in a far better state than it has ever been since the gospel was planted there.

“ I believe the work is going on well, throughout the island.
In the leeward p art we had began to erect a new chapel, which I sup­ I t may truly be said, that those pose is finished by this time.

fields are white to the harvest, but the labourers are few.

Besides these extensive fields of labour in the island of St. Vincent, there o f them containing upwards o f 1000 inhabitants, the greatest p art o f whom never, I believe, heard a gospel sermon.

21 proved.

In the course of this year, a few of our members bave entered into the liberty of G od’s children; and among those who have believed, there is a general quickening, so that they are be­ come more diligent and circumspect.

W e have also a pleasing prospect of greater good.” M r. L ill, in a letter of the 18th of A pril last, writes as follows, respecting the state of the mission in this island :— “ Being appointed for Grenada, I arrived here on the <24*th of February last.
1 found the society, though but few in number, most of them truly alive to God, and the congregations large and attentive.

My worthy predecessor, M r. D ixon, had been very useful here, in reviving the work; and, (all glory be ascribed to G od, who alone can give success ! )

our prospects continue to brighten.

Prejudice is dying away, and numbers now attend our p reach in g ,.

who are obliged to stand in the open air, exposed to the night dews, for want of room in the chapel.
It is my intention to open a subscription, in order to see what money we can raise towards the erection of a new chapel, for the old one cannct be enlarged.” In Trinidad, the members of society are in a good sta(,e, and the congregations are regular and attentive.

W e have reason to conclude, that were the restrictions of the Government removed, more abundant good would be done.
In the above statement, S t. Bartholomew's, Dominica, and Demerara, are om itted; we suppose, partly owing to the absence of the preachers at the district, and from affliction.

W e are happy to find, that in Dominica they have had some addition to the society ; and o f Demerara, Mr. T alboys writes :— “ W e have in society, six whites, and 358 coloured and blacks; which is an increase of 318, since the last accounts.

T he soicety is in a good state.


W e enjoy peace in our borders; love appears to be the cement that binds us together, and the people appear to be growing in grace, and in divine knowledge.” T he following account of the state of the mission in Jamaica, is extracted f r o m a letter to the Committee, from M r. W h i t e , one of the missionaries.

“ As we sent no general statement, of the spiritual state of this mission in our minutes, M r. W ig g in s requests me, to write to you on the subject.
“ S'omc tim e ago* M r. W ig g in s proposed the division o f this circuit or island, into as many parts, as we have principal societies.

T h is subject was discussed very fully at the last quarterly m eeting, Kingston, into effect a* and agreed to be carried Spanish Town, M erant B a y and Bove Rock.
follow s: “ This division will call for more enlarged, and stronger exertior, of the preacher’s talents and zeal; and the nearness of bis residence will induce a more lively wi*h tow idaa his borders- 22 I am fully persuaded, th at this measure will be greatly and per­ manently beneficial ; and feel no hesitation in saying, another year will give sufficient proof of it.

“ Kingston generally needs two preachers, as the society is large, and the prospects of usefulness extensive.
“ W hen I came to Spanish Town, I found the society only 65 in num ber, and the prospect in general, far from encouraging.

However, I have the pleasure to inform you, that we now have 73 members, 38 of whom profess to enjoy peace; and I believe, nearly all are truly in earnest to work out their salvation.

W e think, if a convenient chapel could be procured, about the centre o f the town, that much good would result from it.
A nd there are persons who offer to contribute towards the expense, if we commence the undertaking.

vember last, on M r. B u r g a r’s removal thither.

It was then in a thriving state, and is likely to continue so.
T h e num ber in society was somewhat m ore than 600, and I hear it has been increasing and prospering in every respect since ; of which M r. B u rc*ar will o f course give you every in form ation.” M r. B u r g a r observes, in a letter dated A pril 10th, “ W e have had about 200 increase, since my arrival at M orant B a y y the most of whom are negroes.
T o say they are all fully converted, is what I by no means believe : yet some are converted, many m ore are deeply serious, and all profess to have ‘ a desire to flee from the w rath to come.’ T h e present num ber in society is 833.

“ M r. W ig g in s is preparing to go to Bove Rock immediately, where the prospects are pleasing, and I think another preacher w ill be necessary.
T hough we have a large field of additional labour open to us, we have agreed to recommend the appointm ent o f only two m ore preachers for the present.

W e re we able to meet the expense, I believe we could soon form another circuit or two.
A lthough I have been for several years in this country, and always sanguine in my expectations of the spread o f the work ; my m ind was never so much impressed with the idea of its imme­ diate and abundant increase as a t this time.” T h e above statem ent is highly gratifying.

G od has been building up the walls of this p a rt of our Zion in troublous times.
D u rin g the past year, upwards of 500 members have been added to the societies ; and since the Legislative Assembly have relaxed in their rigid opposition, new opportunities have offered for the enlargem ent o f the Redeem er’s kingdom.

T h e following extract o f a letter from M r. W ard to M n 23 B uckley, gives an in terestin g statem ent o f the continued pros­ perity o f the m ission in Harbour Island, Bahamas.

.................................... T o tal in the W est Indies 96 18,938 T h e whole net increase of members in the W est Indies, for .th e present year, is therefore 1082; and when it is considered, th a t the societies there have a regular discipline of the same kind as that of the M ethodist societies at home, a discipline which the missionaries are constantly enjoined to enforce, there is sufficient reason to conclude, that the increase o f members in the W est Indies, which through the D ivine blessing has been yearly expe­ rienced, is an increase generally, of real converts to truth and righteousness, over whom Christian benevolence may rejoice with peculiar satisfaction, as men turned from Pagan darkness to light, and the power of satan unto G od.
A far greater num ber have been brought under the instructions of the gospel as regular hear­ e rs; and the general state of this mission, which has already placed the benefits of Christianity within the reach of at least one third o f the negro population o f the British colonies, in the W est Indies, promises, in conjunction with the efforts of other Chris­ tians, at no very distant period, and should no obstacles be inter­ posed by ungrounded fears, and a false policy, entirely to banish African superstition from the islands; to afford religious instruc­ tion to the mind o f every slave; and by im planting the principles o f true religion, to effect not only individual happiness and im­ provem ent, but the political advancement and security, of those interesting portions of the British empire.
T o thi-s scene of missionary labour, the last year has added the im portant station of St. Domingo.

T o that p a rt of the island, which is under the presidency of Petion, the Committee have ap­ pointed two missionaries, the special permission o f the government having been prom ptly obtained.
T h e num ber of inhabitants, the religions and civil freedom enjoyed in that state, the want of minis­ ters, and the general desire of the people to be assisted in their religious concerns, are circumstances which seem to give to this new enterprize the sanction of a providential designation, and afford great hope of the happiest results.

T h e mission to the British colonies, in N orth Ameriea, com­ prising various stations in Canada, Nova Scotia, New Bruns­ wick, and Newfoundland, employs 24 missionaries, and contains 25 twenty stations; and as each of those stations is connected with a circuit, in which every missionary itinerates, the gospel is by this means extensively administered to numbers of the scattered inhabitants of those countries, who but for such a plan of missi­ onary labour, would be wholly deprived of the ordinances of Christianity.
T he still destitute condition of the settlers, many of them our fellow countrymen, and all our fellow subjects, has not, however, been sufficiently understood.

1 he case of Canada is very affecting* Protestants arc constantly attaching themselves to the Romau Catholics, not from choice, but because they have no access to a Protestant ministry ; while still greater numbers live entirely without the forms of religion.
From an excellent letter written by a respectable mercantile gentleman, who lately spent some time in Canada, widi which the Committee has been favoured, it appears that the poorer classes in Lower Canada, are chiefly Catholics, sunk through the influence of the priests into the grossest ignorance.

Among some ot them, however, a strong desire exists to read the scriptures, and to possess what is scarcely to.be found, a French Bible.
These sentiments have prevailed In several instances, large more since the war with America.

sums had been offered for Bibles, accompanied with an oppression of determination “ that the priests should not take them away.

“ In M ontreal,” continues the writer, “ the chapel occupied by the Methodist missionary was quite crowded with hearers, some of the most respectable inhabitants attending, as it is the only place of worship where the gospel is preached among a po­ pulation of near 20.000 inhabitants.
Several of the people, and many of the old royalists, who had left die States at the revo­ lution, expressed to me their earnest desire, that the Conference would send out preachers of talents and piety with their families and they would gladly support them.” After various other state­ ments, tending to shew the state of religious destitution in which the major part of the two Canadas are now in, the writei con* eludes by earnestly recommending an additional number of missi­ onaries, not merely to preach in the large^ towns, but in the “ populous villages where there are neither Catholic nor Protes­ tant churches, and where the inhabitants are verging towat ds com­ , plete heathenism” This representation of the destitute condition of the Canadas is confirmed by the communications of the missionaries, who have been there employed.
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and New^ In Newfoundland in foundland, are in similar circumstances.

particular, there are not less than 20,000 persons without religious instruction ; and the old people among the settlers, who remember this “ land of Bibles and ordinances,” often weep that the year D ' « .

2l> now rolls over them without sabbaths, without public worship, and the ministry of the word.
T he Committee have lately voted the appointment of six additional missionaries, to meet in part this pressing w ant; but even that supply is greatly inadequate, and they earnestly hope that greater efforts will be generally made in this country to raise up altars o f God, where there are so many Christians without temples, without sacrifices, and without a priesthood ; where so many thousands of Protestants are placed in the alternative of living entirely without religion, or yielding to the proselyting zeal of Romish priests; and where so many others are sinking into a state of heathenism itself.
T his latter circum­ stance is a sufficient answer to those who think that missions to the British Colonics in America, are lower in their character and object, than those who6e direct object is the conversion of the heathen.
They are at least missions to prevent what is more affecting to a reflecting mind than even the continuance of a pagan in his dark­ ness and superstition—to prevent Christians from becoming hea­ thens; and the Committee think th a t no appeal more forcible than this can be made to the feelings of British Christians.
They will not suffer those missions to languish, without which the de­ scendants of persons born ill the same country with themselves, and baptized into the same name, must remain uninstructed, and unconverted ; losing gradually the knowledge of Christianity, till a total obliteration shall take place of all those glorious truths on which alone human happiness and hope can be erected.
In all the stations in these colonies, the work of God ap­ pears to prosper; and in some, a considerable increase of the In New­ societies, and of the congregations has taken place.

foundland especially, the prospects arc greatly encouraging, and when the additional missionaries who have been sent shall arrivé, there is every reason to anticipate their abundant usefulness among a people most eaniesly hungering for the bread of life, and the in­ stitutions o f religion.
T h e destruction of the newly erected chapel at St. John’s, by fire, in February last, was an event which not only left the congregation without a place of worship, but the trustees charged with a debt of 500/.

which remained on the premises, after a very liberal subscription among the inhabitants had been made.
This calamity excited the compassion o f many persons in this country to contribute towards the re-erection o f the chapel : and as the sum already obtained is still greatly inadequate, should any benevolent persons wish to assist a poor but pious people to rebuild their chapel, the Committee will gladly receive Its re-erection is not impor­ any sums for this specific purpose.
tant to them only, but to the interests of religion in St. John’s, where another Protestant place of worship is loudly called for by the advance of population, and the increase of vicious manners.

• • • • • - 65 D uring the last twelve months, the Committee have sent out 19 additional missionaries to different parts of the world, viz.
4« to Ceylon, 1 to Bombay, 1 to the Cape of Good Hope, 4 to the W est Indies, 2 to Nova Scotia, 3 to Newfoundland, 1 to Quebec, 1 to Gibraltar, 1 to Brussels, and 1 to France; making the whole number of missionaries, employed on foreign stations, under the direction of the Methodist Conference, 80.
These increased exertions have induced a considerable increase of expenditure; a circumstance w h i c h will occasion joy and not regret, so l o n g as the means afforded by the increasing liberality of the f r i e n d s of religion are prudently and economically expen­ ded.
Thus to apply the funds committed to their charge has been the constant object of the Committee; and though many heavy charges have occured, especially in the Asiatic mission, yet these have arisen from the peculiar circumstances in which the the great expences of outfit, and first missionaries were placed; the excessive cost of every thing which is necessary to the comfort of an European in India.
Some of these expenses were, however, temporary and accidental ; and now that the mission is assuming a settled character and system, though, for some time, its regular expenditure must be very considerable, its extraordinary demands will not, it is hoped, again rise to the same amount.

The Committee have to congratulate the subscribers in gene­ ral, on the increase of the funds.
The receipts of the year, as D 2 28 wiîl be seen by the financial statement, have m ote than equalled the large expenditure, besides the payment of large arrears.

* This the Committee ascribe, under the blessing of God, to the operation of M issionary Societies, adult and juvenile, formed in different parts of the kingdom ; and carried in some places, with great zeal, into full efficiency.
H ere the rich and the poor have m et together ; the aged, and the’youth, and the child, have united in the service of Christ, and presented their offerings to his cause; and the Committee trust, that wherever it is practicable, the re­ commendation of the Conference of 1814- on this subject will be adopted, that the supply may be constant as the moraí necessities of an unsaved world ; and increasing as, by the providence of God, are the opportunities for communicating to it that only means of its salvation, the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
T o the effect of that greater publicity which has lately been given to the state of the heathen world by different means, and the enforcement of the obligations of Christians to extend the kingdom o f their L ord, the Committee also attribute th at increase of M is­ sionary zeal which has this year furnished them with a full supply o f missionaries for every station.
N ot less than 12 preachers, sta­ tioned in English circuits, and enjoying all the comforts and advantages of the home ministry, have offered themselves as foreign missionaries, exclusive of those who had previously acted only as local preachers.

O f these, several have already taken their departure for different stations, and the rest wait the call of God, and the direction of their brethren.
T heir piety, their talents, and in some cases considerable learning, give the best promise of future usefulness in all the departments of missionary labour ; and the Committee cannot refrain from calling upon the grateful acknowledgements of their friends, to the “ L o rd o f the harvest for thus “ sending fo rth more labourers into the harvest.” W ith the increase of the funds there has been also an increase of men suited to the work, and willing to embrace it.
This is a coinci­ dence which cannot fail to lead to the recognition of those evident indications of Providence, which now more than ever make it im­ perious upon us to go on in the name o f the Lord.
Increasing, however, as are our exertions, and those of almost every other religious denomination, the Committee would still keep it impressed upon the minds of all who have so willingly co­ operated with them in these attempts to spread the knowledge of * S i n c e th e R e p o r t 'v a s p r e s e n t e d , t h e o u tfit o f a d d i t i o n a l m is s io n a rie s a p p o i n t e d l>y t h e C o n f e r e n c e , a n d t h e c a r r e n t e x p e n c e s , in t h e h a n d s o f th e T r e a s u r e r ; a n d t h e e x t e n s i o n o f th e m issio n s, in o b e d i e n c e to s u c h c a lls for h e l p , from d if f e r e n t q u a r t e r s , im p e rio u s d u t y to c o m p l y w i t h , r e n d e r e v e r y e x e r t i o n n e c e s s a ry to p r e v e n t t h e e m ­ b a r r a s s m e n t o f th e fu nd.
Christ, that little has been done by any body of Christians sepa­ rately, or by all collectively, in comparison of what remains to do.

Active, united, and even formidable as have been the move- t ments of the Christian world for some years past, against the kingdom of darkness and sin, only a few of its outworks have been won, and little more than mere facilities obtained for exten­ sive conquest.
W hilst more than one half of the subjects of the British empire itself are Pagans, every obligation of patriotism, policy, and religion, demands persevering exertions to circulate the vital principles of true godliness through every member of the po­ litical body, until an empire fully christianized shall be presented to the eye of the world, exhibiting as in the first ages of the church, the glorious triumphs of the gospel over the vices which deform, and the miseries which desolate the fairest portions of the globe; and displaying for the instruction and imitation of Pagan Asia in particular, the beneficial effects of Christianity, on the civil and moral interests of man.
Were there even no other field for missionary labours than that which is presented by the British empire, comprising so great a portion of India, and numerous Asiatic islands, a p a rt of Africa, and the colonics of the western Archipelago, and of North America, the united efforts of all Christians for many years to come would iind a large share of occupation ; but beyond the bounds of the British empire, extensive as it is, and comprehending so many large and populous Pagan countries, lie scenes of affecting moral misery.
Immense shades of darkness still remain unpierced by a ray of heavenly light.

Empires, composed of hundreds of millions of souls, still remain under the power of satan ; and the worship of idols and devils still robs “ God over all blessed fo r evermore,” of the worship due to his holy name by his redeemed creatures.
W hilst the world presents such an aspect, there is surely enough of wretchedness to keep alive our sympathies, and enough of sir> to rouse into vivid operation the feeling of indignant jealousy for the honour of the Lord of Hosts.
T he debt of the Christian world to the Heathen remains undischarged ; it has run awfully into arrears, and the favourable opportunities of access to every part of the Pagan world are the infallible indications that the Governor and the Judge of the world, and especially of the churches, now demands its payment.

T he successes of the missions of modern times are certainly not a discharge from the service, but the strongest incitements to pledge every energy anew to its holy ob­ jects.
T he efficiency of the gospel has been again demonstrated in our own day in the conversion and salvation of heathens of every class, of every clime, and of every form of Pagan superstition* Every missionary enterprize, if prudently, and above all if piously undo'takcn, if it be consecrated by singleness of view, and sup­ so ported by prayer, has a moral certainty of success.
Every sign of the times indicates that the period is fully come when the out­ casts of men shall be remembered, and they who are ready to perish shall obtain mercy.
Pressing therefore as the state of affairs is, the Committee are persuaded that the îast retrenchm ent , which any person alive to the glory of God, and the salvation ot m en, will make, whenever obliged to make retrenchm ent, will be the sums he has devoted, first to the support of religion at home, and second, to the natural and necessary consequence of the former, the extension of religion abroad.

God calls, and his people follow.


H e who now goes on “from conquering to conquer” now more evidently puts himself at the head of his sacramental host : the battle is turned to the gate, and none, it is hoped, will be found treacherous to the grand and momentous struggle ; none who will not wield his weapon in the war, or stretch out his hand to replenish the treasury.
“ Signs o f the Son of M a n ^ signs of glory and conquest, transfuse a new vigour into the heart, and spread new prospects to the hopes of the righteous.

« B el bo&elh down, Xcbo stoopeth s” the light of the morning, on the tops of the mountains, catches the waiting eyes of those who sit in the shadow of death.

T he public will perccive that according to the resolution of the last Conference the missionary fund has been applied solely to foreign objectsy with the exception of a sum voted by the Committee towards the expenses of the mission in the Irish language for the last year, and another for the support of die same object for the year ensu­ ing.
T h e im portance of that mission, in affording instruction, m the native Irish language, to numbers of the inhabitants of the dark parts of Ireland, is the reason which has induced the Com­ mittee to bring the expenses incurred by it upon the foreign rune , as no other alternative presented itself, than to do this, or entire y tn olion rl on n wnvlc.

W hir.h has already effected so much good.


31 The Committee, however, wish it to be understood, that its aid has been extended only to the six Irish missionaries who preach in the native language, and fo r that reason only.
The other preach­ ers in Ireland who act as missionaries, and are called by that name, ‘ have received nothing from the missionary fund, and are other­ wise provided for; and with respect to the six just mentioned, the Committee have thought it proper to fix their annual allow­ ance at 370/.

for the whole num ber;—leaving the distribution of this sum, to be determined by the Irish Conference, according to their respective necessities.
Among the other liberal donations, the Committee have grate­ fully to acknowledge the receipt of the sum of 151. from the Com­ mittee of the Edinburgh Auxiliary Missionary Society ; of 5/.

from “ the J 3enny a week Society” in connexion with the church » of the llev.M r. B rodieat Glasgow, and of 40/.
from the Committee for managing the Youth’s Magazine, towards the support of schools, in our foreign missions ;— instances of Christian liberality the contributors, and which may be highly honourable to ranked among those happy omens, which the present age presents, of that approaching union of all true Christians in affection towards each other, and in zealous co-operation for the common cause of Christ, which shall demonstrate the general revival of primitive Christianity by fixing upon the Christian church its only authen­ ticating seal; “ by this shall all men know that y e are m y disciples, because y e love one another The Committee also acknowledge the payment of several lega­ cies in aid of the missions, the entry of which will appear in their proper place in the financial accounts which follow; and the Com­ mittee have thought proper to insert in the Appendix, the proper form of a bequest, for die use of those “ in whose hearts it may be * to devote a part of their property to a work so pleasing to God, and so full of mercy to man; and thus to lengthen out the moral uses of life beyond its natural limits, and continue to do good on earth after they are themselves taken to the rewards of heaven.
Among the helps of this kind which the fund has this year re­ ceived, the Committee cannot but particularize the sum of £2QQ received from the Trustees of the residuary property of the late W illiam M arriott, Esq.

of London, in compliance with an intimation of that gentleman’s intentions in favour of this Institu­ tion, made during his life.
And they embrace this opportunity of recording their tribute ot affectionate veneration for the memory of a man, who was for many years a distinguished friend of Methodist missions, and of whom it may be trulv said, that to do good and to communicate was his “ ruling pas­ sion, strong in death.” A donation of books, for distribution in the East, by the mission­ aries, by Mr. Long, of Fro^brid^e, is also gratefully acknowledged.

C l o u g h , one of the W e s l e v a n Missionaries, arrived, and settled in his neighbourhood.

T o him th e wavering B u d h is t earnestly applied for a solution of his difficulties ; an d a few conversations with such an earnest adv o c a te o f C hris tianity, convinced him th a t his peace oi m i n d would not be restored by an adherence to the superstitions o* his u n e n lig h te n e d forefathers.
‘ 35 W h e n Mr; C l o u g h observed his pressing inquiries upon th e subject o f the Christian religion were continually increasing, he presented h im with one of th e copies o f the Cingalese Gospels, which he h a d received from this Society ; a n d after a few more interviews, in which objections were started, d o u b tf u l points discussed, a n d difficulties explained, th e priest of B u d h a resolved at once to abju re the erro­ neous system in which he had been ed u cated , a n d to profess th e re­ ligion of Chris t. * f O n e vvry rem arkable circumstance t h a t took place d u r i n g th e in­ terval between his forming this resolution and his baptism , weil de­ serves to be b r o u g h t forward to y o u r notice.
U p o n the celebration o f some BuHhist festival, a B ana M a n d u w a had been erected, and m an y priests were assembled from different temples to distribute alms and preach to the people.
is cu stomary on such occasions for th e minister of highest ran k or greatest learning, to exhort a n d in struct his brethren of the priesthood in a discourse upon the virtues of B u d h a , a n d the excellence of his religion; Sree D h a r m a P a n d it a was called u p o n to perform this office; b u t instead of choosing for his th e m e any o f the legends of B u d h is t tradition, the subject he selected was the Gospel of St. M atthew .
It T o the astonishm ent of his yellow-robed hearers, he opened t h a t sacred volume, and read and expounded for their edification, d u rin g th e whole o f th e night, the authentic history o f our blessed Saviour.

N o t u m u l t or dis tu rbance arose ; the priests listened with m u t e and respectful attention to the earnest address of one o f their brother­ hood, who, convinced o f his own error, sought only to remove their delusion.
O n the C h ris tm as-d ay following, he was publicly baptised by the garrison chaplain in the E nglish church a t C o lu m b o , by the name o f P e t r u s P a n d itti Sekarra.

A salary has been settled upon him by G overnm ent adequa te to his comfortable subsistence, b u t far below what m ight be considered to have held out any tem p tatio n or in ducem ent to his conversion, if compared with the rank, power, and affluence, which he abandoned.
T h e following a c c o u n t of this converted priest is extracted from a letter written b y M r. C l o u g h , an d which appeared in th e Govern­ m ent G azette o f D e c e m b e r ^ , 1814.

Mr. C lough observes, “ I m u s t now pass over a nu m b er of interest­ ing evening conversations, and hasten to the interview, when he made a public confession of th e state o f his m in d and present views, which was nearly as follows.
<<c I feel a wish to give you a relation of m y present condition; and I believe from what I know of you, tha t you will not make a wrong use of any th ing I say.

T h u following anecdotes confirming the statements made in the report, (page 17) are communicated by Mr. Warrener, who spent many years in the W est Indies as a Missionary.
“ I never found more than one religious negro, who had a desire to go back to Africa.

H e was a member of the Methodist Society in Antigua, and a very useful, zealous man.

H e said to me one day, ‘ O Massa, me want 1 asked William, why he wanted to to go back to my own country.’ go back, and if he remembered any thing of his own country ?

His reply was, ‘ O Massa, me see de house, me see de trees, me see the ground, me see the whole, Massa.” H e was the principal mason upon the estate of Col. Blizard.
William said, “ My Massa let me want no ting; bu t me want to go to my own country, to tell my countrymen about my blessed Massa, Jesus.” W illiam ’s master died, ai-d his property, including his negroes, were sold.

As we were afraid he might be purchased by some person who might send him out of the island, we wished to purchase him.
W e had a pro­ mise that we should have William at a moderate price, so I be^un a subscription among the members of society and congregation for this purpose, and obtained a tolerable sum.

William, however, was so well known as a religious, industrious, and conscientious person, and an excellent workman, that, on the day of auction, he was sold to the best bidder for a sum much Leyond what we had raised, and our ability to procure.
H e was bought by a gentleman of St. Vincent, bu t lived only a few months, and then instead of g o i n j to Africa, he went to heaven.” 44 ft 1 have not the least d o u b t of there being as m uc h loyalty among the slaves in the W est Indies, as there is in England ; and, I believe, I will give one instance of it.

more amongst the religious negroes.

W h il e I was stationed in the island of Antigua, we had some fear of a visit from the F ren ch in Guadaloupe.
T he gentlemen met to consult how to defend the island.

Amongst other plans of defence, they desired the Methodist and Moravian ministers to go through the island, and see how many of the N egro men in our societies, and those of the M o r a ­ vians, would volunteer their services as pioneers.

So we went to recruit, to see how many we could raise; we promised the gentlemen, a t their own request, to go with them as chaplains.
I th ink between us and the Moravians we got the names of ab o u t 700, who were all either Methodists or Moravians ; for we were directed to take the names of none beside.

Some time after, I was riding out, and a N e g ro watchman called to me, and saidr “ Massa, when de fight to “ W e ll ,” he replied, be ?” 46 Massa, we hope so t o o ; b u t if de Prench com, we’ll fight dem.” I inquired, merely to try him, “ A nd, my N eg ro , what would you fight f o r ?
” H e immediately said, “ Massa, we fight for our wives, our children, our houses, and our chapel, Massa.” The French never came ; but, I believe, had they come, the religious Negroes would have proved faithful.” I answered him, “ 1 hope never.” N o .

S. V arious Sums of M oney have'been collectcd in different parts of the Kingdom, and paid into the hands of the District Treasurers, which have been transmitted to the General Treasurers, according to the year of the District Societies’ R eports, and in part prior to Aug. 18, 1815, which Sums were inserted in the former R eport, i t has, there­ fore, been found necessary to insert in this R eport the Names of the Subscribers, with the Sums subscribed in the first instance, as complete as possible, from the Lists which have been received; but to make the General Treasurers responsible only for the Sums which have been received by them from Aug. 18, 1815, to Ju n e 24, 1816^ which Sums only are inserted in the second column.
I t is particularly requested, that the Preachers and Local Se­ cretaries throughout the nation will be careful to transmit to the General Secretaries an accurate List of all the Subscribers before the 24th of Ju n e , 1817, th a t all the Names may be inserted in the General Report.
