in public 100 times, and preached 62 sermons in the different places above named. It is a matter of great satisfaction to me to know that my talk in general has been well received, and that many a heart has been made glad to know that their labour of love in the cause of Missions to the heathen has not been in vain. A fine Missionary spirit prevails in every part of this kingdom, and in this feeling they pray for the conversion of the world, and send Missionaries to all parts of the globe. May God abundantly bless their efforts in the great and laudable cause! I have succeeded in the object of my mission to this country, in collecting the following amount for the Canada Indian Missions, viz:

Grant from the Wesleyan M. Society, £300 0 0
From Benevolent persons, 557 19 0
From Quakers, 174 1 6

Total, sterling, 1032 0 6

I have also received various articles in school rewards, clothing, books, edge-tools, &c., &c., to the amount of about four or five hundred pounds, sterling, for the benefit of the said Missions. The British and Foreign Bible Society have printed a thousand of the Gospel of John in Chippeway. In addition to all this, the prayers of thousands of faithful Christians have been enlisted in our behalf; and as the prayers of the righteous avail much, this is no small gain in the permanent establishment of the good cause among us, and in the general spread of the Gospel to all the thousands scattered in the vast wilderness of North America. Many of our Wesleyan Brethren and also the Dissenters have expressed a strong desire that I might visit them again at a future day. I feel in my heart that I should be most happy, if it should be the will of the Lord, to pay them another visit.
