Zeeland this young man went be London, to see Yr.
Wilberforce. He found that geetleman gone to Bristol,
where he followed him; a le w Maeda w ere caned together,
and in the month of Jane the Newfoundland Sehool
Society was established. Fishing at Newfoundland was
about the most dangerous occupation that could be
engaged in, sod Ole lobeWeans@ were generally in
distress. Sehoolmasters and schoolmistress were sent out,
some of the young men subsequently became deacons,
and a good work was carried on there. Twelve years
afterwards, Col. Irving, who had been governor of !
Western Australia f a many years on returning to
Bogland endeavoured to do something for the spiritual
advaotage of the convicts who inhabited that part of
the Island. Between the years 1790 and 1840 between
70 and 80 Moused oonviets had been sent from this
country to one port alone la Austral* and it was coos-
?need that at least 100,000 had boon sent to the island
altogether. Of worse, much crime, much vice, and
mush ignoring' prevailed amongst them, and the
Colonel was much distressed in oonesquenee. Mainly
through his exertions, in the year 1838 the Colonial
Church Society was established, which had tot its
object the unding of clergymen to the colonies. In
the year 1857, it was thought desirable to amalgamate
the two societies he had named, and about that time the
society's work on the oontinent &Lao commenced.
Through its exertions, a good work had been carried on
is all the Erglish oolooiss, and also on the eentinent.
It was said a person might travel through the world,
and have no oeossion to use any other then the gorplah
language. Surely this showed them that Kogland was
the nation chosen of GA to spread tiis knowledge
throughout the world. The income of the society during
the past year had been £31,000, £l4 000 of which had
been raised In oolonies whale we bad formerly misted.
It was true the "Said. were white to the harvest, but
the latourers were few," and he exhorted those present
to aid the society by all the means In their power. The
colleetioos, morning and evening, amounted to
