vice are found universally connected. Among them, there is no knowledge of God; no observance of religious worship; no marriage; no morality; and no solace of religion in life or death. That portion of the yearly amount of the subscriptions made by the religious public for the support of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, which has hitherto been appropriated in aid of the West India missions, being already very considerable, cannot be much enlarged, owing to the pressing claims of the Society's numerous missions in Ceylon and continental India, West and South Africa, New South Wales, Van Dieman's Land, Tongataboo, Newfoundland, and other places. The Committee have at their disposal for this work a considerable number of approved and zealous candidates for missionary labour, whom they could employ in extending the benefits of religious instruction in the West Indies, had they the means of meeting the expenses of their voyage, and that moderate allowance which is made for their support. The number of missionaries actually employed in the West Indies has of late been increased by the aid afforded by the liberal subscriptions made to the fund by many benevolent proprietors, who encourage, to the utmost of their power, the moral improvement of their people; but

still the field is too extensive to be brought under cultivation without many more agents. In the efforts made by other religious bodies to increase the means of instruction in these important colonies, the Committee greatly rejoice; but they justly add, that united, and even greatly enlarged, exertions will still leave an immense number of Negroes, for many years, without the ordinances, the light, the comfort, and the control of our Divine religion. They therefore lay this brief statement before the religious public generally, and particularly before those who are interested more immediately in the West Indies, whether resident in Great Britain or in the colonies, and solicit their aid in this work of piety and charity; a work which for many years was carried on by the Society's Missionaries, amidst much reproach and opposition, which have, however, now greatly diminished, in consequence of the evidence which on every side presents itself of the effects resulting from their labours; and a work in which many very valuable lives have been sacrificed to excessive labours and pestilential diseases; but which has amply repaid the whole in the blessings it has imparted, and the prospects it has opened to religion and benevolence.
