Thu rev. gentleman then gave several instanc,a of such
success, and concluded by showing the neces.ity for in-
creased earnestness and more agents from the fact that
, in several churches on the Continent, particularly at
-Ziarit.h thraugh whiclLabout 7,000 pritioh peelshr pans
every year, I antheisur and other false doctrines were
openly taught. —The Rev. H. Cotterill, blettop of
Uralianistown, said that the diocese entrusted to his
, charge comprieed an aces - as-largo as the whole ed .
EnAland. Toe mission work divided i'relf into two
heads, Ist, that to the natives, and 2nd, to the English
and other residents. In 1858 the way for evangalizing
Cstrraria, was bronght about by the enlightened p dicy
. of Sir G orge Grey, who en ourag, d by a grant the
1 establishineut of Mission Schools. In that grai,t hie
own dioceas largely pa-ticipatel, and this was the first
gnat ei11141116 to WWII. By rumor the most remarkable
events in the hlstory of that people this semen' was
greatly increased. The pour people were by the advice
of tin hr priests advised to detroy their cattle and goods,
aud, being thus deprived of the necessaries of life, no
less than 5 i,OOO peris4ed. A large number of children
were left deatitute, and in their distress the missionaries
supplied them food and she her. This gave the Mission-
aries such a hold upon the natives that from that time
great success attended their labours. Though he had
visited a large number of OliSSioll stations he never saw
stronger proofs of the sincerity of their con verslon than
was shown by the natives in Caffraria. No sooner were
they impressed with the truth than they desired to ex-
tend the same knowledge to others. Ilia lordship then
referred to the colonial part of the work and Mated that
the grant by government to their schools had now ceased,
and the colonist* were placed upon their own resources
to sustain the Christian Ministry among them. The
diocese of Grahamstown was formerly inhabited by
Dutch farmers, but in 1820 a large number of English
Beall' there, and sinee the Crimean war, a considerable
numlier of those who formed the German Legion bad
settled in the Southern part. Of the character of the
German Legionaries he could not speak very favourably
but it was for the English settlers he especially pleaded.
There was a feeling. and he was afraid it was a growing
one, that the Englisheettlers might be left to themselves.
It was a very erroneous one. If England left the
colonists to themselves she would not be fulfilling her
duty, and if the Church of England at home cared not
for her sone in the colonies that branch would soon
wither and fade away. He was aware that generally
speaking far more interest was felt in mission work
to the heathen than in promoting Christianity
among their countrymen abroad. But the colonists
had a claim upon the Church of England at home which
the heathen had not. Very many of them had been
baptized and brought up in that church, they had at-
tended her services and joined in her prayers. The
church in the Colonies was, taken as a whole, self-
supporting. The greater part of the colonists in South
Africa were comparatively poor. There were few large
towns and the population was scattered over a wide
terri.ory, so that they could not afford to do more for
the import of religious teaching than they at preeent
did. It was to the Christian people of England, and
especially those belonging to the Church of England, he
looked for aid. The rev, prelate concluded by alluding
to the peculiar trials the Church had been called upon to
bear in Southern Africa, especially by the heretical
vi we of Bishop Colenso, and expressed his firm comiction that, notwithstanding the various hindrances,
success would ultimately ba given to the cause of truth,
and that a glorious future was in store for the Church
of England. The Caine judgment which had declared
that it had no power to deprive that Bishop of his See,
had also proved that they, the members of the Colonial
Church, were not compelled to hold intercourse with
him, and they were determined to have no stain of
heresy upon them. (Loud cheers.) He believed that
the Church of England could best contend with the
errors of the Church of Rome, holding as it did to
Apostolic order as well as evangelical truth. (Cheers.)
—The Rev. R. Farquharson pointed out that it is
utterly in vain to attempt to civilize without
Christianity. A vote of thanks having been cordially
pas.-ed, the benedictioa was pronounced by the Bishop,
and the meeting separated.— The collections after
sermon and meeting amounted to £l4 18e.
