CHAPTER II
2/56

The Moravians have five settlements and thirteen missionaries.

The Wesleyans have seven chapels, with as many more small preaching places on estates, and twelve ministers; half of whom are itinerant missionaries, and the other half, local preachers, employed as planters, or in mercantile, and other pursuits, and preaching only occasionally.

From the limited number of chapels and missionaries, it may be inferred that only a portion of the twenty-two thousand can enjoy stated weekly instruction.

The superintendent of the Moravian mission stated that their chapels could not accommodate more than _one third_ of their members.
Each of the denominations complains of the lack of men and houses.

The Wesleyans are now building a large chapel in St.John's.
