As pointed out by Rev.

The v-an was lcd |iii.the Pacific Province by Rev. Dr. WIVBIIS. of Kingston University, the Rev. E. White, Rev. E. Robson and Rev. Arthur Browning. The latter two were ordained in Toronto in 1858, immediately before they left for the Coast, which they reached the following year. The missionaries were welcomed to the colony by the 99"- DF- Cridive, Incumbent of Christ Churcli; and Chief Factor Dallas, oi 'the Hudson's Bay Company, granted ithem three city lots on which to ibuild a church and psrsonage. ln 1893 there were five congrega- tions in Victoria, exclusive of the Chinese Mission K'-liurch and the In- dian Church.
