nd your successful labours there.
Brothers Counter, Jenkins, and others, say they are resolved to
have you for their preacher next year, on your return from England.
I hope and pray that good luck will attend your efforts. Everything
depends on the issue of your mission. May the Lord give you favour
in the eyes of the people, and good success in your vastly
important work.

Rev. Joseph Stinson, writing from Kingston, said:--

We all feel very strange now that you are gone, but be of good
cheer; we follow you with our sympathy and prayers. We doubt not
but God--that God in whose cause you are making this additional
sacrifice, will succeed your labour, and cause all things to work
together for your good.

In a letter from London, England, Dr. Ryerson says:--

Mr. Lunn and other friends have arrived from Quebec, and have given
me Canadian news, among other items the stations of various
ministers: Rev. James Richardson and Rev. J. S. Atwood withdraw
from the Conference, and Rev. Mr. Irvine goes to the States. The
President and I remain at Kingston. I have been appointed, by a
unanimous vote, the representative to the British Conference, and I
am to present to Lord Glenelg an Address from the Conference to the
King. On the 18th of June, 1836, the Upper Canada Academy was
opened, and the Principal (Rev. M. Richey) inaugurated.

Dr. Ryerson added:--

I am to stay in Birmingham, at the house of a worthy and wealthy
Quaker, by the name of Joseph Sturge.

At the general meeting of the Missionary Committee, held recently
the resolutions of the Committee relative to the withdrawal of the
Government grant for the work in Upper Canada were read. Dr.
Bunting rose and mentioned its restoration, and kindly and
cordially mentioned me as the means of getting it restored. He gave
a flattering account of my proceedings in the affair. I thanked him
afterwards for his great kindness in the matter.

The labours and result of this, Dr. Ryerson's second mission to England,
are given in Chapter xvi., pages 158-166.
