4. In respect to the Congregationalists, they have seven or eight churches, and four ministers. I do not know precisely what they have in the Upper province; perhaps four or five more. 5. The Methodists, in both provinces have 14,000 in society, and sixty preachers. They also print a paper, called "The Christian Guardian."[A] [Footnote A: This, I was told lately by Dr. Matheson, of Durham, is a most efficient instrument of usefulness in America. Our people should try to get one up.] In fine, here, as to Protestants in general, in the Lower province, the greater part are not gathered into regularly organized congregations, no inconsiderable portion of them being scattered in the Catholic settlements. To sum up, there are in the province about sixty ministers to 100,000 people. You could easier, however, supply 500,000 in England than 100,000 here, owing to bad roads, and the scattered state of the people. I am sorry to add, that I fear only twenty out of the sixty are efficient men. I now come to our own denomination. There is, however, much difficulty in collecting definite information concerning it. Seldom able to leave my own church, personal observation is defective, and most of the information I have is through report. I begin with what are called the Eastern Townships. This is a district of country lying on the south of the St. Lawrence, and bordering on the States. It is from 60 to 100 miles east of Montreal; 30 of which are occupied in passing what is called the French Country. There are in it between 40 and 50,000 inhabitants. The land is good, but the people in general are poor. Most of these have emigrated from the States, where the means of grace were enjoyed by them. They are still disposed to have the gospel preached. I am credibly informed that there are among them twenty or thirty little Baptist churches. They would be styled General Baptists in England; here they are denominated Free-will Baptists. They are ill supplied with wholesome teaching. They are also rather wild in their meetings, being more disposed to consult their own feelings than the word of God. Many of them, however, are decidedly good people. Were our General Baptist friends in England to send out a missionary or two into this district, they would confer, under God, a lasting benefit on this people. I wish very much the General Baptists at home would take the matter into deep and serious consideration. It presents a fine field, for labour. But, in addition to these, there are, perhaps, from fifteen to twenty churches of our own denomination. These are miserably supplied with preachers, as not above three or four of the churches have regular pastors; the others have only occasional supplies. An itinerant here is much needed, would be of great service, and could be maintained at small expense. Oh, my brother, if you can, by any means, get a good, humble, prudent man, send him into that field. I wish our denomination would take the subject into
