Reprinted from the Missionary Herald, Boston, November, 1830, together with some extracts from earlier issues, 1821-1830. Rev. J.S. Green was the first Protestant missionary to visit the northwest coast when he made an exploratory visit in 1829 for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He preached the first Protestant sermon in British Columbia on April 26, 1829, on the Volunteer in the Queen Charlotte Islands.
