Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mission to the Coloured Population in Canada, Late Fugitive Slave Mission: Being a Branch of the Operations of the Colonial and Continental Church Society They have had cause for anxiety, because experience has shown them that the apprehensions expressed in their last Report have been fully justified. Many of their friends and supporters have found it hard to understand why the Mission should be needed. The reunion of the Northern and Southern States has been accompanied by the abolition of slavery, and fugitive slaves, therefore, are a thing of the past. What can be the meaning of a Fugitive Slave Mission? The funds have suffered in con sequence. In the last Report the Committee endeavoured to point out how mistaken the Impression above alluded to is. They will only here repeat that the numbers, position, circumstances, and prospects of the coloured population in British North America, for whose benefit this Mission was instituted, have not been materially affected by the close of the war. They are still as numerous, as poor, as much a separate people, as before. If such an agency as that which this Mission endeavours to supply was ever needed, it is needed now; more so perhaps, now that the efforts of former years, by God's blessing, have produced their effect, and marks of progress encourage us to further exertions.
