&quot;Hydahs,&quot; &quot;Tsimsheans,&quot; and &quot;Stickeens&quot; con 

 stantly coming and going for the purposes of 

 trade and work; and as six different languages 

 were spoken the Missionary was obliged to use 

 Chinhook, into which he translated portions of 

 the Liturgy. Mr. Garret s labours at this station 

 were successful beyond expectation. In one year 

 nearly 600 Indians, men and children, received 

 some instruction in his school. He also founded 

 a Mission in the Cowichan district both among 

 the whites and Indians. The Indians there were 

 ready to receive the Church &quot;with open arms.&quot; 

 &quot;They prayed, they entreated,&quot; Mr. Garret 

 &quot;to come at once .... and build a house on their 

 land.&quot; 



Of Nanaimo, where the Rev. J. B. Good was Rev. J.B. 

 stationed, the Bishop reported in January, 1863: mo, i8??&quot; 

 &quot;there is now a church, parsonage and school for 

 the whole population and a school-chapel for the 

 Indians, through his zealous exertions. I have, 

 several times been present at interesting services 

 at the latter, and have reason to think that a 

 deep impression has been made upon the Indian 

 mind.&quot; 



Mr. Good was then transferred to the main- Mr. Good 

 land at Yale, on the Fraser River, where he had Transferred 

 charge of a small white mission and the neighbour- Yale 186&amp;lt; 

 ing Indians. The next year &quot;he received an 186 7 

 invitation from the Thompson River Indians, a 

 tribe numbering 1,500. They had, after applying 

 in vain for teachers of our Church, received 

 occasional visits from Romish Missionaries.
