This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  Hbrary  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.   Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

CHURCH  MISSIONARY  JSSOCUTIONS. 

When  a.diapotltion  appears  in  any  place  to  assist  the  designs  of  tlie  Society  by  es- 
tablishing an  AsikOciation  in  its  support,  a  Meeting  of  persons  favourable  to  such  a 
measure  should  be  called.  The  friends  who  meet  for  this  purpose  should  form  theui- 
■elves  into  a  **  Church  Missionary  Association,  in  aid  of  the  Church  Missionary  Society 
for  Africa  and  the  East;"  and  should  proceed  to  appoint  a  Committee  and  proper 
OflBoers. 

In  large  Towns,  comprehending  several parUhei,  it  may  be  expedient  to  appoint  a 
President,  Vice-Presidents,  a  Treasurer,  and  a  Secretary;  with  a  pretty  uomerous 
Committee,  composed  of  persons  from  the  different  parishes. 

In  Paroc/iial  Associations,  uTrtSiSVirer,  a  Secretary,  and  smaller  Committee,  ui;dcr 
tlie  presidency  of  the  Clergyman,  may  be  best  suited  to  conduct  the  business. 

It  may  sometimes  be  found  ex|)edieiit  to  form  Associations  in  Separate  CongrrgO' 
ihns  in  the  same  Pansh,  ratlier  than  one  Association  in  the  parish  at  large;  and  in 
this  case  al£0,  a  Treasurer,  Secretary,  and  Commit 5je,  under  the  prc^idc'ncy  of  the 
Clergyman,  will  suffice  to  accomplish  the  object. 

In  a  Vobtntarp  Union  of  Friends,  whether  the  members  of  the  same  family,  the 
children  of  a  school^  or  persons  connected  by  affinity  or  friendship,  such  arrangements 
may  be  made  as  may  prove  most  convenient  to  themselves. 

In  this  manner  benevolent  persons,  willing  to  assist  the  designs  of  the  Society, 
from  the  domestic  circle  to  the  largest  tov.n,  may  unite  for  a  purpose  most  beneficial 
to  their  own 'minds,  wbilt;  It  expresses  a  due  regard  to  the  glory  of  God  in  the  salvation 
of  the  Heathen^  and  a  proper  sense  of  their  own  infinite  obligations  to  Divine  Mercy.

thf  Propecdipgi  ^  ^  Asso^aUon  shall  be  presented. 


NOnCE  RESPECTING  COLLECTORS. 

BY  Collectors  ii  to  be  understood  Persons  who  gather,  in  behalf  of  t  lie  Sodety, 
the  Contributions  of  such  of  their  Friends  as  may  be  able  and  willing  to  render 
assistance  to  the  great  Work  of  Christian  Ghaiity  hi  which  the  Society  it  engagedy 
bnt  who  may  not  have  it  in  their  power  to  give  their  Annual  Guinea. 

Those  who  may  have  leisure  for  this  service,  are  Members  of  the  Society,  so 
long  as  their  CollectioDR  amount  to  Fifty-two  Shillings  per  Anuum.  They  may 
collect  this  sum  in  such  way — weekly,  monthly,  or  quartetly — as  may  best  suit 
their  own  convcDience,  and  that  of  the  Contributors. 

Collectors  will,  of  course,  exercise  due  discrimination.  While  they  battbw 
their  own  time  on  this  work,  from  a  just  conviction  of  the  misery  of  the  HrithtM 
and  the  duty  of  sending  to  them  the  Gospel,  they  should  ask  no  oontiibutkMM  Vut 
from  such  as  may  be  able  to  give  them ;  and  should  endeavour  that  their  OQQ« 
tributors  may  give  on  the  same  just  sense  of  duty  as  they  act  themselves. 

For  this  purpose,  they  will  be  regularly  supplied,  on  writing  to  the  S^cretaiy^ 
with  the  Numbers  of  the  Missionary  Register,  and  Tracts  calculated  to  diflbse 
information  and  excite  attention,  and  with  Cards  to  assist  them  in  makhig^  €Mt 
CoUectiotis.  They  will  be  fumlbhed,  also,  with  a  sufficient  quantity  of  QataUaAy 
Papers,  to  supp\y  a  Copy  to  each  Contributor.  These  Quarterly  Papers  ceoiltt  oJF 
a  few  pages  of  striking  Facts  aod  Anecdotes ;  with  Addresses  and  £xbortatiMUy 
adapted  to  the  level  of  the  Labouring  Classes  and  the  Young ;  and  are  iUustfiled 
by  Engravings  on  Wood. 

If  Five  or  Six  or  more  Collectors  unite  together  in  any  place,  the  Comtnittee 
will  send  the  Monthly  Numbers  and  the  Quarterly  Papers  in  a  parcel ;  iMt^  iii 
order  to  this,  it  will  be  requisite  for  the  parties  to  procure  the  permimon  of  ^tir 
Bookseller  in  the  country,  to  have  such  parcel  sent  with  his  monthly  packet  of 
Magazines,  and  to  apprise  the  Secretary  of  the  names  of  the  Bookseller,  and  of 
his  Correspondent  in  London. 

A  single  Collector,  or  any  number  short  of  Five  or  Six,  may  purchase  of  the 
nearest  Bookseller,  both  the  Missionary  Register  and  the  requisite  Quarterly 
Papers,  and  deduct  the  cost  from  the  sum  collected,  and  remit  the  remainder  to 
the  Society.  This  method  is,  on  the  whole,  more  convenient  and  economical  to 
the  Society  than  that  of  sending  the  Numbers  and  Papers  in  a  parcel,  in  cases 
where  the  Collectors  are  less  tlian  five  or  six. 

While  Collectors  render  important  aid  to  the  designs  of  the  Society,  they  both 
contribute  to  the  strength  and  honour  of  that  Church  with  which  the  Society  li 
connected,  and  confer  also  great  benefit  on  those  persons  whose  contribationa 
they  gather. 

This  system  of  engaging,  according  to  their  power,  the  Labouring  Orders  and 
the  Young  in  this  work  of  charity,  has  a  direct  and  important  influence  on 
the  real  strength  and  honour  of  that  Church  of  which  we  are  Members.  Facts 
are  multiplying  daily  which  demonstrate  the  growing  attachment  of  those 'pw- 
sons,  to  the  Church,  whose  minds  are  interested  in  the  great  objects  of  the  Society, 
and  who  are  themselves  associated  in  its  charitable  labours. 

For  the  Contributors  themselves,  the  regular  diffusion  among  them  of  intd- 
ligcnce  respecting  the  state  of  the  world  and  the  efforts  now  making  for  its  con« 
\ersion,  enlarges  and  elevates  their  minds.  Many,  who  may  not  be  able  to  give 
their  Annual  Guinea,  would  gladly  take  their  share  in  this  noblest  work  of 
Christian  Charity.  That  numerous  class  have,  in  our  days,  the  opportunity  gircn 
them,  for  the  first  time,  of  regularly  contributing,  according  to  their  pawcr,  to 
extend  the  Kingilom  of  Christ  in  the  world:  and  He,  who. accepted  tba  two 
mitos  of  the  Widow,  will  accept  every  gift  when  offered  from  love  ^  and  will  loolc 
with  especial  approbation  on  that  servant  of  His,  who,  "  remembering  the  words 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  how  he  said.  It  if  more  blessed  to  give  than  to  recetre"— 
**  labours,  working  with  bis  hndi  the  iMmg  whick  'm  good,  Uiat  he  may  hate

Science  have  the  decided  preference  over  those 
of  Religion :  the  narrow  range  of  Politics  and 
of  the  Arts  is  again  and  again  traversed,  while 
the  ampler  fields  of  Revelation  lie  neglected  and 
forgotten. 

The  indifference  which  men  have  evinced  toward 
the  progress  of  Christianity,  and  the  jealousy  which 
they,  have  manifested  toward  Missionary  Exer- 
tions, are  intelligible  only  on  a  reference  to  thi& 
fact. 

What  we  value  at  a  low  price  for  ourselves,  we 
shall  be  slow  to  transfer  to  others,  if  the  execution 
of  that  transfer  should  demand  any  considerable 
expenditure,  either  of  time  or  of  substance.  If 
we  are  careless  of  our  own  eternal  destiny,  we 
shall  be  averse  to  the  contemplation  of  that  des- 
tiny for  others.  If  pardon  of  sin  and  intercourse 
with  God  form  no  part  of  our  own  scheme  of 
felicity,  it  will  form  no  feature  in  our  plans  of 
benevolence  toward  other  men. 

The  cause  of  Christian  Missions  finds  its  un- 
shaken support,  only  in  the  deep  recesses  of  a 
penitent  and  converted  heart.  The  mere  gratifi- 
cation of  communicating  the  arts  of  refinement 
and  civilization— of  pouring  forth  at  the  feet  of 
the  destitute  all  the  riches  of  philosophy  and  of 
letters — will  prove  but  a  feeble  and   inconstant

We  are  met,  Brethren,  on  tbefiresent  ocoasion, 
-to  stimulate  and  to.eucoorage  one  another,  in  ti^ 
holy  work  of  communicating  the  Gospel  to  Ibe 
Heathen.  The  value  of  the  Christian  Revelation, 
we  ihave  already  ascertained :  tlie  obligation  -Jaid 
4>n  us  to  transmit  its  treasures  to  others,  we  iiave 
.^eady  vecognised:  the  necessity  four  Christian 
Missions,  «we  have  already  adiaitted :  the  woilk  of 
fSvangelization,  we  hav«  already  commenced.  It 
is  not  my  intention,  therefore,  to  discuss  parti- 
cularly these  preliminary  points :  it  is  not  my  in- 
tention to  answer  objections,  or  to  defend  Mis- 
eions ;  but  rather  to  urge  you  onward  in  this  patii 
of  duty,  by  a  somewhat  extended  reference  to 
those  Promises  of  ^God,  which  attest  the  final 
triumph  of  iiis  Messiah  on  the  earth. 

In  full  allnsion  to  that  triumph,  the  •wo];d8  ^f

TRODUCTION  OF  CHRISTIANITY  INTO 
THE  WORLD,  BY  THE  MYSTERIOUS  SUF- 
FERINGS OF  ITS  DIVINE  FOUNDER. 

Behold  my  tervant  .'■'—Mani/  were  astonished  at 
thee — his  visage  was  so  marred  more  than  any  man, 
and  kis  form  mare  than  the  sons  of  men.

to  the  inconsistency  apparent^  between  the  high 
pretensions  and  the  depressed  condition  of  this 
Servant  of  God. 


22  SERMON 

He  bad  been  foretold  as  the  desire  of  all  natiom; 
tbe  Shilob,  unto  ^bom  sbould  be  tbe  gathering  of 
the  people;  tbe  ruler^i^ho  sbould  come  forth  from 
Jadab,  to  sit  upon  tbe  throne  of  David ;  upon 
whose  shoulders  the  government  should  be  laid'— 
and  as,  emphatically,  tbe  PFonderfuly  and  the 
Coumellor, 

A  sordid  ,and  earthly  interpretation  had  en- 
shrined  these  promises  in  the  hearts  of  the  Jewish 
Nation.  The  Jewish  Patriot  bailed,  in  expecta- 
tion, the  brilliant  hour  in  which  the  Messiah 
ghould  break  to  shivers  the  chains  which  held  bis 
country  in  subjection  to  tbe  Roman  yoke;  while 
tbe  roan  of  narrow  and  selfish  ambition  rejoiced 
in  the  vision,  which  gleamed  before  his  eyes, 
when  the  descendants  of  Abraham  should  bold 
dominion  over  tbe  prostrate  nations  of  tbe  world,

■When,  therefore,  the  Saviour  of  that  world  ap- 
peared in  the  lowly  garb  of  tbe  carpenter  of 
Nazareth — when  be  shunned  every  effort  for  per- 
sdnal  aggrandisement  —  when  be  resisted  every 
popular  movement  to  advance  bis  regal  claims — 
when  be  put  forth  his  power  only  to  heal  tbe 
diseased  and  to  comfort  the  wretched — when, 
with  a  humility  that  knew  no  parallel,  and  with  a 
sympathy  which  evinced  no  exclusion,  be  con- 
stantly mingled  with  the  meanest  and  most  de-

testimony  extorted  from  his  Enemies  at  his  dyii^ 
hour. 

The  Spirit  of  God  has  now  thrown  a  blaze  of 
light  oyer  the  mysterious  and  dark  events,  which 
accompanied  this  rejection  of  the  Messiah.  The 
veil  is  lifted  from  before  our  eyes;  and  we 
behold  this  Lamb  of  Gad  prepared  for  a  sin- 
offering — we  mark  Ibis  divine  life  given  as  a 
ransom  for  many — we  anticipate  Redemption  by 
his  blood,  and  the  remission  of  Sins. 

But  the  union,  in  his  destiny,  of  Power  and 
of  Sufferiug — of  Dignity  and  Contempt — of 
Riches  to  others  and  of  Poverty  to  Himself — 
was  the  source  of  astonishment  to  many.  In

Cross  waved  upon  the  conquered  fortresses  of 
Paganiism ;  and  enlisted  under  its  folds  the  great 
and  mighty  of  the  Earth.  Yet  no  earthly  weapon 
had  been  raised  in  its  defence.  The  cause  of 
Christ  achieved  its  victories  by  its  owa  inherent 
power.  It  was  resistless  by  its  Truth,  and  by 
the  silent  operation  of  the  Spirit  of  Truth.  Its 
adherents  were,  indeed,  strong;  but  it  wa$  ia 
faiths  and  purity,  and  charity.  They  actively 
toiled  — they  fervently  prayed— they  patiently 
suffered — they  heroically  died ;  and  their  blood 
became  the  fruitful  seed  of  the  Church.  At 
length,  the  judgements  of  God  scattered  the 
Jewish  Persecutors  to  the  four  winds  of  heaven ; 
while  the  Roman  Empire  embraced  the  £atith 
which  it  had  despised,  and  converted  the  Tem- 
ples of  Idolatry  into  the  Temples  of  the  Living 
God.  The  Kings  of  the  Earth  took  counsel 
against  the  Lordy  and  against  his  anointed.  But 
Hfi  that  sittfth  in  the  Heavens  laughed :  the  Lord 
had  them  in  derision^  He  set  his  King  upon  hi^^ 
holjf  Hill  of  Sion.  Apd  He  did  this,  nqt  l/y  pozver

Lord. 

.Thus  this  Servant  of  God  prospered,  and  was

millions  of  the  human  race  are  still  the  prey 
of  Idolatry  or  of  Imposture ;  and  the  Ancient 
People  of  God  are  still  the  outcasts  from  his 
fiivour,  and  the  victims  of  unbelief.  The  habi- 
tations of  the  Earth  are  yet  full  of  Darkness 
and  of  Cruelty ;  and  many  a  land,  whose  Ter« 
dant  6elds  once  smiled  beneath  the  gentle  sway 
of  the  Son  of  God,  has  again  been  laid  waste  by 
the  desolating  hand  of  Error  and  Superstition.

But,  if  DO  expectation  is  held  oat  to  the  Child'* 
tian  Church  that  the  days  of  miracles  will  return^ 
and  if  Knowledge  id  still  necessary  to  obedience, 
some  other  mode  must  be  placed  in  exercise  for 
the  diffusion  of  that  Knowledge.  This  mod6 
was  first  brought  to  light  in  the  restoration  of 
Christian  I'ruth  to  the  Christian  Church.  The 
art  of  Printing  supplied  to  the  Christian  Church, 
through  the  Providence  of  God,  a  mighty  instru* 
raent  for  the  dissemination  of  Scriptural  Know- 
ledge. The  Holy  Records,  long  immured  in 
•the  cloisters  of  the  learned,  gained  free  circular- 
tion,  and  levelled  to  the  dust  many  a  strong-hold 
of  Heresy  and  Superstition.  And  is  it  not  ap- 
parent, that  this  process  will  be  adopted  in  refe- 
rence both  to  Heathen  and  Mahomedan  Nations? 
Is  .it  not  through  the  free  circulation  of  the 
Scriptures,  that  divine  knowledge  will  be  com- 
municated to  the  mass  of  mankind  ? 

And,  my  Brethren,  are  not  these  times  in  which 
we  live  extraordinary  times,  with  respect  to  this 
process  of  instruction?  Is  not  God  opening  these 
blessed  Fountains  of  Life  in  every  parched  and  . 
thirsty  land?  Are  not  Translations  of  the  Scrip- 
tares  multiplying  on  every  side,  so  that  a  fair 
probability  is  established,  that,  in  the  course  of 
years,  not  a  country  shall  be  found/in  which  the  re- 
cords of  Christianity  shall  not  be  gTven  to  the  native

grand  remedy  for  human  wretchedness,  and  the 
high  object  which  God  has  in  view  in  the  ad- 
ministration of  this  lower  world  ?  Have  not  men 
b^gnn  to  take  this  matter  to  their  heart,  and  to  fix 
on  it  their  warm  yet  deliberate  contemplation? 
Are  tbey  not  persuaded,  and  thia  by  the  most 
reasonable  arguments,  that  all  the  schemes  of 
men  —  of  the  politician,  or  of  the  philosopher 
— are  utterly  contemptible  and  inadequate,  if 
severed  from  this  plan  laid  down  by  God  him- 
self, to  pour  light  and  peace  upon  this  dark 
and  troubled  world  ?  Are  there  not  many,  who, 
under  the  influence  of  a  kindling  and  heaven-

their  fellow-men;  and  who  would  gladly  give

pathies, their  property,  yea  their  lives,  to  lift  up 
agiain  the  fallen  but  immortal  soul  to  hope,  to  hap- 
piness, and  to  God?  Is  not  the  commencement 
of  this  Healing  Process  arrived,  and  is  it  not  of

shall  no  more  be  confined  to.  tbe  scattered  in- 
dividual— to  the  solitary  saint — ^to  the  unknown 
and  despised  disciple;  but  Religion  shall  erect  her 
trophies  in  the  very  bosom  of  society,  and  in  the 
public  scenes  of  resort.  Her  sacred  leaven  shall 
pervade  the  whole  mass.  Her  benign  influence 
shall  mould  every  institution,  and  sanctify  every 
employment.  Thus  shall  adoring  millions  be 
washed  in  the  blood  of  Jesus,  and  shall  be  pre- 
sented holy  unto  the  Lord.  All  nations  shall  be 
blessed  in  him .-  yeay  all  nations  shall  call  him  blessed. 

And  can  we  survey,  Brethren,.the  events  of  the 
present  day,  and  not  perceive  the  first-fruits  of  this 
glorious  harvest  gathered  in  ?  Are  the  instances 
of  genuine  conversion  to  Christ  now  infrequent; 
or  is  the  result  of  Missionary  Labour^  in  any  de- 
gree, discouraging? 

The  efforts  of  our  own  zealous  labourers  in  this 
great  cause  have  surely  received  the  seal  of  God's 


BY    THE    HON.    AND    HEV.    O.  T.   NOEL.       37 

effectual  blessing.    Even  in  the  instance  of  inj  ured 
Africa,  from  some  parts  of  which  our  Missionaries 
have  been  compelled,  through  the  revival  of  the 
Slave-Trade,  to  recede ;  and  where  many  of  them 
have  fallen  a  sacrifice  to  the  climate,  loving  the  souls 
that  are  ready  to  perish  more  than  their  own  tem- 
poral life — even  in  this  instance,  Grod  has  stretched 
forth  his  arm  in  mercy,  and,  from  the  N^o  Po- 
pulation of  Sierra  Leone,  appears  to  be  raising  up 
a  Christian  Church  worthy  of  the  present  age  of 
the  Gospel!     What   enlightened   convictions  of 
sin,  what  hallowed  sensations  of  gratitude,  what 
generous  emotions  of  love,  what  elevated  aspi- 
rations of  a  spiritual  mind,  are  manifested  in  the 
history  of  those,  whose  understandings  were  lately 
as  much  under  thraldom  to  Satan,  as  their  bodies 
were  enslaved  to  their  cruel  and  rapacious  fellow- 
men  ! 

And  need  I  here  refer  to  the  affecting  accounts, 
already  in  print,  of  iViose  two  Converts  to  Chris- 
tianity, who  have  died  in  this  country,  Wilhelm 
the  African,  and  Mowhee  the  New  Zealander — 
in  farther  proof  that  the  Gospel  can  still  penetrate 
the  dusky  bosom,  or  gladden  the  liberated  heart 
of  a  Heathen  ? 

Were  this  the  only  fruit  of  the  Church  Mis- 
sionary Society — if,  from  all  the  labours  and 
anxiety  and  expenditure  of  the  ei|s:htoen  years

that  are  passed,  it  had  aloDe  resuHed  that  these 
two  jfouthful  coQverts  should  have  died  the  death 
of  the  righteous^^ndj  at  their  last  endj  should  have 
mingled  with  the  blessed  myriads  who  surround  the 
Eternal  Throue — if  alone  from  their  lips,  in  that 
world  of  love,  the  Hallelujahs  of  Praise  should  now 
be  sounding  forth — oh  it  should  satisfy  a  mind  of 
more  than  angel  grasp,  that  no  labour  and  no  cost 
could  have  been  too  great  for  so  high  and  en* 
dearing  a  remuneration  I 

But,  praised  be  God,  these  are  not  the  only  re- 
turns of  our  solicitude.  Greatly  encouraging  are 
the  success  and  the  prospects  throughout  the  wide 
scene  of  our  Indian  Missions :  nor  less  interesting 
are  the  openings  to  our  exertions — on  one  side  of 
the  globe,  on  the  shores  of  the  noble  but  untutored 
New  Zealanders ;  and,  on  the  other,  on  the  once- 
hallowed  borders  of  the  Mediterranean  Sea. 

And,  while  we  bless  God  for  the  cheering  aspect 
which  our  owu  Missions  present,  while  we  cherish 
with  cordial  gratitude  the  hope  that  the  Banner  of 
the  Church  of  England  may  be  seen  floating  far 
and  wide  in  many  a  Heathen  Land,  we  would  re* 
joice  in  the  successful  efforts  of  Christian  Charity 
in  the  Missions  of  Churches  not  our  own.  Nobly 
are  the  other  detachments  of  the  Great  Christian 
Army  leading  on  their  eager  champions  to  this 
bloodless  fidd !    And  many  are  the  trophies  to 


BT    THE   HON.    AND    ft£V.    G.  T.  NOIL.        39 


the  power  of  Di?ioe  Graces  which  these  our  Br«- 
tbrea  are  also  permitted  to  erect  I  Thanks  be  unto 
Godt  who  thus  causeth  us  to  triumph^  apd  who  shall 
shew  signs  and  wonders  by  the  name  of  his  holy 
child  Jesus. 

The  yet  more  glorious  Future  is  known  to  Him; 
and  the  times,  rich  with  the  last  spoils  of  Idolatry 
and  Superstition,  are  recognised  by  His  omniscient 
eye :  but,  to  us»  the  present  is  full  of  hope ;  and 
the  cluster  of  grapes  already  brought  from  Eshcol, 
is  a  grateful  earnest  of  tbat  rintage  of  souls,  which 
the  Lord  of  the  Harvest  will,  in  his  own  way  aud 
at  his  own  season,  gather  in  for  Himself. 

't'he  result  of  all  this  work  is,  indeed,  with  the 
Lord;  and,  in  the  accomplishment  of  it.  His  ser- 
vant will  deal  prudently.  His  wisdom  will  be  ex- 
ercised, both  towards  the  instruments  which  he 
uses,  and  the  people  among  whom  they  are  em- 
ployed. •  He  walks  continually  among  the 
Churches;  and  will  wisely  cultivate  his  more 
immediate  husbandry,  as  well  as  that  waste 
bowling  wilderness  which  he  is  gradually  en- 
dosing  and  planting  with  trees  of  righteousness, 
until  even  the  desert  shall  blossom  as  the  rose.  He 
will  watch  over  the  waste  of  Missionary  Life  and 
Strength.  He  will  proportion  the  success  of 
Missionary  Efforts.  His  counsel^  in  all  its  ex- 
tent, api//  stand;  and  he  will  fulfil  all  his  pleasure.

And  he  will  do  this,  for  the  exercise  of  the  foith, 
patiencei  int^rity,  and  charity  of  his  servants; 
as  well  as  for  his  own  glory,  in  the  conversion 
of  immortal  souls. 


But,  althoij^h  this  is  altogether  His  design  and 
His  work ;  yet,  as  he  will  accomplish  it  through 
the  instrumentality  of  those  whom  he  has  already 
blessed  tirith  his  Gospel,  I  trust  it  will  not  be  on- 
profitable,  if,  in  the  Conclusion  of  my  Discourse, 
I  offer  ^Jsw  SUOOESTIONS  in  reference  to  the 
conduct  of  those,  who  are  carrying  into  effect  this 
high  enterprise. 

Composed  in  the  hurried  intervals  of  domestic 
affliction,  which  left  no  time  for  minute  considera- 
tion, I  can  indeed,  in  this  Discourse,  have  less 
hope  than  even  under  ordinary  circumstances,  of 
offering  to  you  any  remarks  of  whose  substance 
you  are  not  already  in  full  possession :  but  it  is 
consolatory  to  me  to  reflect,  that  it  is  perhaps  by 
the  reiteration  of  common  and  accredited  truths, 
that  we  acquire  some  of  the  best  lessons  of  human 
wisdom ;  and  that  the  blessing  of  God  can  render 
the  humblest  effort  subservient  to  His  honour  and 
glory. 

1.  Let  me  then,  in  the  first  place,  suggest  to 
you,  in  special  allusion  to  the  success  of  our 
Missionary  Cause,  the  importance  of  con-

plations.  Let  us  contrast  our  civil  and  religious 
advantages,  with  those  of  Heathen  and  Maho-^ 
medan  Nations.  Let  us  contrast  our  pure  and 
peaceful  Sabbaths,  with  their  unhallowed  festivals 
of  cruelty  and  superstition-— our  resources  in  sor- 
row, with  all  their  unheeded  sadness— our  conso- 
lations in  death,  with  all  their  dark  and  cheerless 
agonies^— our  assured  prospects  into  eternity,  with 
their  cold  and  heart-sickening  theories  of  the  trans- 
migration or  the  absorption  of  the  soul ! 

What  a  theme  is  here  for  gratitude !  what  an 
argument  for  praise !  JVho  hath  fnade  us  to  differ, 
and  what  hcfpe  we  that  we  have  not  received?  Oh, 
let  it  be  our  care  to  value  and  to  improve  our 
mercies.  May  the  blessing  never  be  withdrawn  1 
May  the  light  never  be  extinguished ! 

4.  But,  once  more,  in  reference  to  this  great 
Cause,  it  seems  to  be  of  essential  importance, 
that    we    CHERISH    a     spirit    of    christian 

UNION    AND    MUTUAL   CHARITY. 

It  has  been  too  long  the  just  reproach  of  pro- 
fessing Christians,  that  they  have  wasted  their 
strength,  and  time,  and  feeling,  in  mutual  attack 
and  recriminatiiQn — and  these,  generally,  on  the 
non-essentials  of  .Religion.  The  glory  of  Christ 
and  the  interests  of  his  Church,  have  too  fre- 
quently been  but  the  ostensible  grounds  of  all

this  mournfpl  coDtroversy ;  while  party-spirit  and 
iQdigiiaot  selfishness,  have  been  its  true  though  hid- 
den springs.  Mean  time  Infidelity  has  stood  by 
and  sarcastically  smiled ;  while  genuine  Charity 
has  blushed,  and  held  down  her  head.  Oh,  it 
is  reserved  for  the  Glory  of  the  Latter  Days,  to 
merge  minuter  differences  in  those  grand  ques- 
tions which  are  the  heart  and  life-blood  of  the 
Christian  Cause  —  dear  to  one  Church  as  to 
another,  because  dear  to  God  and  essential  to 
-the  repose  of  man.  Then  Ephraim  shall  not 
enoy  Judahy  nor  Judah  vejf  Ephraim. 

And  truly  it  has  been  pleasant,  during  the 
progress  of  these  few  last  years,  to  watch  the 
orient  beams  of  this  blessed  Unity  of  the  SpirU 
in  the  bond  of  Peace;  and  to  hail  them  as  the 
harbingers  of  a  brighter  Day. 

It  was  the  great  subject  of  our  Saviour  s  last 
prayer  to  his  Father,  that  his  disciples  might  be 
one,  even  as  He  and  his  Father  were  one :  and 
the  want  of  this  oneness  has  hung  like  a  mill- 
stone round  the  neck  of  Christendom.  Fully 
persuaded  am  I,  my  Brethren,  that  the  Glory  of 
the  Church  is  her  assimilation  to  Christ:  and 
never  will  her  usefulness  and  her  splendour  reach 
their  meridian,  until  the  Love  of  a  Common 
Saviour  shall  bind  together  every  heart  and 
unite  every  hand.  Jealousy  and  Dissension  scat- 
ter her  resources  and  palsy  her  exertions :  but 


46  SERMON 

when,  through  the  tbuodant  out-pouring  of  the 
Spirit,  arm  shall  be  linked  to  arm,  and  heart  to 
heart,  and  prayer  to  prayer — when  to  love  Jesoft 
Christ,  and  to  anticipate  Heaven,  and  to  save 
immortal  souls — when  these  shall  be  the  grand 
terms  of  Christian  Communion,  Oh  then  what 
a  firm  and  awful  phalanx  shall  go  forth  from  the 
Christian  Church  against  the  powers  of  Dark- 
ness and  the  Enemies  of  Man ! 

Much  has,  of  late,  been  accomplished  toward 
this  desirable  end :  but  much,  very  much,  re- 
mains yet  to  be  accomplished.  My  Br^ren ! 
let  it  be  the  subject  of  our  daily  prayers,  and  the 
example  of  our  daily  practice.  Let  the  Missio- 
naries of  each  Christian  Society  drink  deeply,  at 
home,  of  this  great  principle;  and  then  enter 
on  their  hallowed  work  abroad,  with  an  inces- 
sant regard  to  its  prevalence  and  its  growth. 
Let  their  mutual  trials  and  their  mutual  joys — 
their  mutual  anxieties  and  their  mutual  successes 
—  embracing  always  the  same  objects,  endear 
them  each  to  the  other,  and  fasten  the  feelings  of 
Brotherhood  on  their  hearts.  So  shall  the 
various  converts,  from  the  East  and  from  the 
West,  whom  Divine  Mercy  shall,  by  their  instru- 
mentality, gather  into  the  fold  of  Christ,  be  all 
baptized  into  the  self-same  Spirit,  and  become 
possessors  of  a  Charity  wide  as  the  world  and 
fruitful  as  the  dews  of  heaven !

6.  Lastly,  my  Brethren,  let  us  cultivate  a 

HOmS  TEKDEm  COMPASSION    FOR  THE  MISERIES 

or  THE  Heathen. 

The  man  who  lives  among  idolaters,  and  who 
actually  beholds  Uieir  degradation  and  their  sor- 
row,-  has  sometimes,  if  his  own  heart  hath  re- 
ceived mercy  from  God,  become  conscions  of  a 
sympathy,  deep,  and  piercing,  and  effective. 
Such  a  sympathy  dwelt  in  the  bosom  of  a  Swartz, 
a  Braiaerd,  a  Buchanan,  and,  though  last  in  time 
yet  not  last  in  zeal,  a  Martyn!  These  men, 
4he  love  of  immortal  souls  linked  fast  to  human 
welfare.  Their  Spirits  were,  indeed,  stirred 
within  them  ;  and  much  had  the  cause  of  Chari- 
ty to  mourn,  when  these  men  went  down  to  the 
grave !  Long  shall  their  memory  live,  and  wide- 
ly shall  their  Example  stimulate  those,  who, 
through  the  Grace  of  God,  in  after  time  shall 
follow  in  their  hallowed  steps. 

But,  dwelling  far  from  the  scenes  of  Idolatry, 
encompassed  by  European  Comforts,  blessed  with 
the  cheering  Ordinances  of  Christianity,  and  re- 
joicing in  the  tender  and  enlightened  charities  of 
Christian  Friendship — it  is,  alas!  very  possible 
for  us,  my  Brethren,  to  overlook,  in  a  great 
measure,  the  terrible  spectacle  of  a  world  apos- 
tatized FROM  ooD !  It  is  possible,  even  under 
all   the  admonitions  and   signs  of   the   present

times,  and  amidst  the  very  labours  of  our  daily 
beaevolence,  to  rest  contented  with  a  very  luke- 
warm interest  in  favour  of  the  Heathen.  Oh, 
then,  let  us  solemnly  and  deliberately  cultivate  a 
spirit  of  tenderness  and  compassion  towards 
them.  Let  their  actual  situation  often  rest  on 
our  remembrance,  and  have  a  place  in  our 
prayers. 

D^aded,  benighted,  ruined  —  still  are  they 
our  fellow-men ;  capable  of  recovery,-  and  des- 
tined with  ourselves  either  to  death  or  to  life! 
Yes,  my  Brethren  —  in  the  words  of  a  feeling 
Advocate  in  this  righteous  Cause,*  **  under  the 
starless  sky  of  their  unbroken  night,  lie  buried 
the  elements  of  all  that  is  great  and  exalted  in 
our  common  nature — the  materials,  whence  the 
Divine  Illuminator  can  elicit  sparks  of  heavenly 
fire — the  instruments,  which  Re  can  harmonize 
to  the  touch  of  holy  Love — the  Souls  which  He 
can  form  anew  into  heirs  of  God  and  Immorta- 
lity? Oh,  when  once  His  Holy  Spirit  shall 
b^in  to  move  upon  the  face  of  those  dark  chao- 
tic waters,  how  shall  order  spring  out  of  confu- 
sion, and  rays  of  light  and  glory  return  to  us 
from  the  Regions  of  Darkness  and  the  Shadow 
of  Death ! ""

Toward  this  great  and   promised  Era,  let  us 
lend,    my  Brethren,  our  wishes  and  our  toils. 
This  Future  Day  lives  before  the  view  of  Christ, 
and,  ere  long,  his  faithful  and  eternal  love  will 
realize  it,  in  all  its  brightness,  before  our  enrap- 
tured   sight!      The  reward  of   his    astonishing 
mediation,    the    disclosure   of   his  transcendent 
glory,  shall  be  accomplished   in  the  restoration 
of  Israel,    and    in    the    salvation    of  mankind. 
Then  will  the  Mystery   of  Mercy  be  fully  un- 
folded.   Then  will   Grace  reign   through  Righ- 
ieousnes^  unto   Eternal  Life.      Then   will    the 
victory  over  Death  and  Hell  be  achieved,  and 
then   Desolation    Of   Time  be  forgotten   in  the 
gladness  of  Eternity !

''  Receive  yet  one  as  radiant  as  the  rest,

mouth,  as  a  Branch  of  the  Devon  and  Exeter;  at 
Reading,  for  the  County  of  Berks ;  at  Camfafridge, 
for  the  Town,  County,  and  University  of  Cambridge; 
and  at  Cork,  as  an  Association  in  connexion  virith  the 
Hibernian  Auxiliary.  At  Leeds,  at  Douglas  in  the 
Isle  of  Man,  at  Carlisle,  at  Doncaster,  and  at  Yoxall 
and  Hamstall  in  Staffordshire,  new  Associations  of 
Ladies  have  been  established  in  aid  of  the  Society. 

It  will  be  seen,  by  this  recapitulation,  that  the  So- 
ciety is  enlarging  its  borders  on  all  sides.  The  Com- 
mittee cannot  but  hope,  in  particular,  that  the  Asso- 
ciation now  regularly  organized  for  the  Town,  County, 
lind  University  of  Cambridge,  will,  in  addition  to  the 
increase  of  the  Society's  Funds,  be  the  channel  of 
iliffusing  Missionary  Intelligence  and  Zeal,  by  the 
means  of  the  Younger  Clergy,  more  widely  than  ever 
through  the  kingdom,  and  of  sending  forth  many  pious 
and  well-instructed  labourers  among  the  Heathen. 
The  names  of  distinguished  men  of  Cambridge  will  be 
associated  with  the  progress  and  triumphs  of  the  Gos* 
pel  to  the  end  of  time:  some  of  these  are  gone  to  their 
reward;  but  others  are  still  maintaining  the  conflict, 
.  and  setting  a  noble  example  to  their  Younger  Bre- 
thren. 

The  Associations  of  former  years  have  continued 
their  benevolent  exertions;  and  have,  in  various  in- 
stances, increased  their  contributions.  The  Hibernian 
Auxiliary,  in  particular,  is  rapidly  augmenting  its  in- 
come; the  interest  in  behalf  of  the  Society  having  dif- 
Idsed  itself  both  rapidly  and  widely  in  Ireland,  in  con- 
sequence, chiefly,  of  the  extensive  communicatioii  of 
intelligence  by  the  Society's  various  publicatif»is. 
And  these  exertions  have  been  found  in  this,  as  ia  all 
other  instances,  to  be  their  own  reward — in  the  eq* 
kindling  of  a  spirit  of  benevolence,  which  embraces  wd

i6  NIN^TABNTH    REPORT. 

'■  In  this*  work,  the  Committee  have  thankftilly  iFnlecl 
themselves  of  the  seasonable  aid  of  the  Rev.  -Henry 
Davies,  one  of  the  Chaplains,  on  the  Bombay  Establish-* 
menty  of  the  Honourable  the  East  India  Company, 
who  is  returned  to  this  country  for  the  restoration  of 
his  health  and  that  of  his  family.  Mr.  Davies  has  very 
kindly  agreed,  as  the  Rev.  Daniel  Corrie  did  in  a 
former  year,  to  devote  such  time  as  his  health  and  the 
state  of  his  family  will  allow,  during  his  stay  in 
England,  to  communicate  among  the  Members  and  • 
Friends  of  the  Society,  throughout  the  country,  the 
impressions  which  have  been  made  on  his  own  miud^ 
by  his  residence  in  India,  of  the  deplorable  condition 
of  our  Heathen  Fellow-Subjects,  and  the  Duty  and 
Benefit  of  attempting  their  conversion.  At  various 
.Meetings,  Mr.  Davies  has,  in  consequence,  depicted, 
with  a  just  and  visible  influence  on  the  hearers,  the 
degrading  scenes  of  which  he  has  been  a  witness;  and 
has  urged,  from  the  pulpit,^  the  duty  and  encourage- 
ments of  Missionary  Exertions.    .    . 

The  visits  of  the  Secretary  have  been  of  necessity 
limited,  from  the  constant  pressure  of  the  Society's 
business,  to  such  places  as  require  but  a  short  ab- 
sence from  London.  He  has  accordingly  attended 
the  Anniversaries  of  the  Norfolk,  Birmingham,  Bath, 
Gloucester,  Bristol,  Colchester,  and  Suffolk  Associa- 
tions, and  the  formation  of  that  at  Cambridge. 

The  Assistant  Secretary  has  devoted  much  time  and 
labour  to  the  maintenance  and  extension  of  the  So- 
ciety's interests  throughout  the  country.  In  a  journey 
of  seventeen  weeks,  from  the  end  of  May  to  the  end 
of  September,  he  attended  a  great  number  of  Meetings, 
and  preached  many  Sermons.  Beginning  at  Sheffield,' 
he  proceeded  into  Derbyshire,  and  thence  into  Staf- 
fordshire: from  Staffordshire,  he  went  to  Manchester; 
tindy  returning  to  the  neighbourhood  of  Sheffield,  pro-* 
ibeded^..  in  succession,  to  Lincoln,  Gainsborough,* 
Hull,  Beverley,  York,  Knaresborough,  Leeds,  Halt<^ 
f«isx/anii£llaQd;  thence  to  Kirkby  Lonsdale;  Lan^ 
caster,  the  Isle  of  Man,  and  Carfislei'frto'CSaMiale^

ke  returned  into  Staffordshire,  to  Newcastle;  iod 
theoce  proceeded  to  Shrewsbury,  Worcester,  mod 
some  other  places,  ou  his  return  to  London. 

In  the  course  of  this  extended  Journey,  Mr.  Bicker* 
steth  received  the  tuost  ready  assistance  and  friendly 
hospitalities,  in  every  quarter,  from  the  Clergy  and 
other  Afembers  of  the  Society ;  and  had  the  l>enefit  of 
very  efficient  co-operation,  in  various  places,  by  Clei^- 
njeti  from  a  distance.  The  Comnnttee  b^  to  retopi 
their  sincere  acknowledgements  to  the  friends  who 
thus  assisted  the  Society  at  the  places  respectively 
mentioned : — to  the  Rev.  Edward  Burn,  of  Birmini;-? 
ham ;  and  the  Rev.  Henry  Godfrey,  of  Loudon;  lo 
Derbyshire^— to  the  Rev.  Thomas  Cotterill,  of  Sheffield ; 
at  Tam  worth,  Manchester,  and  Newcastle — to  the  Rev. 
Thomas  Dikes,  of  Hull;  at  Lincoln  and  Gainsbo- 
rough— to  the  Rev.  Joseph  Jowett,  of  Silk  Willoughby ; 
at  Hull  and  its  vicinity,  and  in  various  places  in  his 
own  neighbourhood — to  the  Rev.  John  Wm.  Cunning- 
ham, of  Harrow;  at  Hull,  York,  Kuaresliorough,  and 
Leeds— to  the  Rev.  R.  W.  Sibthorp,  of  Tattershall;  at 
Knaresborough,  Leeds,  Kirk  by  Lonsdale,  Lancaster, 
Newcastle,  and  in  various  other  places — and  to  the 
Rev.  John  Storer,  at  Shrewsbury.  Mr.  Wilberforce, 
bdng  in  the  neighbourhood  at  the  time,  attended  the 
Meeting  at  Kirkby  Lonsdale,  and  communicated  that 
pleasure  to  the  Society's  friends  with  which  he  is 
always  heard. 

In  October  and  November,  the  Rev.  Legh  Rich- 
mond preached  for  the  Society  and  attended  various 
Meetings,  in  the  Counties  of  Northampton,  Leicester, 
Derby,  York,  Lancaster,  Cumberland,  and  Northum- 
berland. 

In  attending  the  Anniversaries  which  take  place 
toward  the  close  of  the  year,  or  in  the  early  part  of 
January,  the  Committee  have  also  to  report  the  kind 
assistance  both  of  the  local  and  neighboyring  Clergy, 
and  of  other  friends.  They  would  particularly  ac- 
knowledge those  of  the  Rqv.  T.  S.  Grimshaw ;  at

GIbucester — of  the  Venerable  the  Archdeacon  of 
iMphin ;  at  Cambridge  and  at  Bath — and  of  the  Hon. 
wd  Rev.  G.  T.  Noel ;  at  Cambridge.  On  some  of 
HMne  occasions,  as  already  stated,  the  Secretary  at- 
tended ;  as  the  Assistant  Secretary  did  at  Reading,  at 
Leicester,  and  at  Bath.  At  Leicester,  the  Rev.  John 
Btitler,  about  to  embark  for  New  Zealand,  made  a 
8tM>ng  impression  in  favour  of  the  cause  to  which  he 
had  devoted  himself. 

The  Committee  b^  also  to  report,  with  respectful 
acknowledgements,  the  personal  support  and  assist- 
ante,  on  several  of  these  occasions,  of  Noblemen  and 
Gentlemen  who  are  at  the  head  of  the  Society — in 
particular,  of  the  Lord  Bishop  of  Norwich  and  Mr. 
Fowell  Buxton,  at  Norwich;  of  the  Right  Hon.  Lord 
Gwydir,  at  Bath ;  and  of  the  Hon.  and  Right  Rev. 
the' Lord  Bishop  of  Gloucester,  at  the  Gloucestershire 
Anniversary. 

About  the  middle  of  March  the  visits  to  the  Asso- 
ciations were  resumed.  The  Rev.  Henry  Davies  at- 
tended, at  that  time,  the  Anniversary  of  the  Bedford- 
shire Association ;  and,  in  the  close  of  that  month, 
accompanied  the  Secretary,  Assistant  Secretary,  and 
thft'Rev.  Dr.  Thorpe  to  Bristol,where  the  Sixth  Annt- 
versary  of  that  Association  was  held;  in  which  service 
they  were  assisted  by  the  Rev.  Wm.  Spooner,  of 
Elmdon,  then  at  Bristol.  Mr.  Davies,  having  preached 
in  various  places  in  Gloucestershire,  attended,  with 
the  Rev.  Fountain  El  win,  the  Hereford  Anniversary; 
and,  afterward,  those  of  Colchester  and  Suffolk,  m 
which  he  was  joined  by  the  Secretary.  At  the  Anni* 
versary  of  the  Colchester  Mid  Bast  EiMMt  4iweiMmir

the  Rev.  James  Scholefield,  of  Cambridge,  assisted : 
to  that  Gentleman  the  Society  is  also  under  much 
obligation  for  his  exertions  in  promoting  the  interests 
of  the  Cambridge  Association. 

lo  the  middle  of  April,  the  Assistant  Secretary  and 
the  Rev.  George  Almond,  from  Yorkshire,  met  in 
Dublin,  as  a  Deputation  from  the  Society  to  the  Hi- 
bernian Auxiliary.  The  Rev.  Dr.  Quarry  having 
E reached  for  the  Society  in  Cork,  the  Association 
efore-mentioned  was  formed  in  that  city.  The 
Assistant  Secretary  and  Mr.  Almond  tlien  returned  to 
Dublin,  and  attended  the  Annual  Meetini;  of  the  Hi- 
bernian Auxiliary.  Mr.  Almond  proceeded  to  Drog- 
heda,  and  Mr.  Bickersteth  to  Belfast;  and  met  again, 
in  Edinburgh,  where  they  attended  the  First  Anniver- 
sary of  the  JSdinbui^h  Auxiliary  Society.  At  the 
Hibernian  Anniversary,  the  President,  the  Right  Hon. 
Viscount  Lorton  was  in  the  chair;  and  at  that  of 
Edinburgh,  the  Right  HoO.  the  Earl  of  Elgin. 

From.  Edinbni^h  the  Assistant  Secretary  returned 
home;  and  being  now  present,  will  have  thus  had  the 
opportunity  of  attending,  in  three  successive  weeks, 
the  Anniversaries  of  the  Society  and  its  Auxiliaries, 
in  the  Three  Capitals  of  the  United  Kingdom. 

The  Right  Hon.  George  Henry  Rose,  His  Majesty's 
Ambassador  to  the  Court  of  Prussia,  the  Right  Hon. 
Charles  Grant,  Chief  Secretary  for  Ireland,  Henry 
Goulburn,  Esq.  Under-Secretary  of  State,  Thomas 
Fowell  Buxton,  Esq.,  and  William  Taylor  Money, 
Esq.,  all  Members  of  Parliament,  have  accepted  the 
oiEce  of  Vice-Presidents  of  the  Society:  and  the  Rev. 
Charles  Simeon,  the  Rev.  William  Marsh,  and  the 
Rev.  Fountain  Elwin,  having  rendered  distinguished 
services  to  the  Society,  have  been  appointed  Honorary 
Governors  for  Life. 

In  reference  to  the  Annual  Sermon  before  the  So- 
ciety, the  Committee  have  adopted  an  arrangement 
which  iSy  on  several  accounts,  an  accommodation  to

iog»  the  Members  are  enabled  to  attend  on.  both  oc- 
casions, whicii  was  before  to  many  of  tbeni  irapracti- 
cable :  an  earlier  hour  is  also-  gained  for  entering  on 
the  business  of  the  Meeting ;  and  the  minds  of  the 
Members  ar4  more  capable  of  that  attention,  which 
its  proceedings  require. 

The  Committee  wish,  on  this  occasion,  to  mention, 
with  thankfulness,  the  very  handsome  manner  in 
which  the  Vicar  of  St.  Bride's  has  granted  the  use  of 
the  Church,  and  in  which  the*  Officers  of  the  Parish 
ha?e  concurred  therein. 


INCOME   AND   EXPENDITURE. 

With  sincere  thankfulness  to  Him  who  has  blessed 
the  exertions  of  the  Society's  friends  just  detailed, 
your  Committee  report  the  income  of  the  Nineteenth 
Year  to  have  amounted  to  the  sum  of  twenty- eight 
THOUSAND  POUNDS,  which  is  a  considerable  advance 
on  the  Income  of  the  Eighteenth  Year,  and  manifests, 
as  the  Committee  trust,  a  steady  increase  in  Christian 
Intelligence  and  Liberality. 

The  Society's  friends  will,  however,  see  the  im- 
portance and  necessity  of  future  exertions,  when  they 
learn  that  the  Expenditure  of  the  Year  has,  within 
a  few  hundred  pounds,  equalled  its  Income;  and 
that  new  oppertunities  for  labour  are  opening  in  all 
quarters. 

Before  the  Counnittee  proceed  to  detail  the  manner 
in  which  the  funds  have  breen  expended,  they  wish  to 
call  the  attention  of  the  Members  to  some  remarks  on 
the 


STATE    AND    PROSPECTS    OF   THE    SOCIETY. 

The  experience  of  the  past  year  fully  contirms  the 
views  which  have  been  given  on  former  occasions,  of 
the  benefit  of  diffusing  information  throughout  the. 


STATE   ASTD   PROSPECTS   OP   TH<    SOCIETY.         01 

eanntry.  A  foandation  is  hereby  laid  for  an  enlight- 
ened and  continued  support  of  this  great  cause.  The 
subject  needs,  in  truth,  but  to  be  kno^n  by  sincere 
Christians.  The  Societies  which  are  engaged  in  dif- 
fusing Christian  Knowledge  among  the  perishing 
Heathen  invite  inquiry.  They  ui^e  it  on  all 
Christians  as  a  Duty.  It  is  not  by  inventing  state- 
ments^ or  by  exaggerating  realities,  that  they  would 
move  the  feelings.  They  appeal  to  plain  and  unques- 
tionable Facts.  Five-sixths  of  the  Human  Race  are 
perishing,  without  God  and  without  hope  in  the 
world :  and,  of  these,  perhaps  now,  by  recent  acces- 
sions, considerably  more  than  a  tenth  are  British 
subjects.  The  cry  of  their  misery  is  piercing — the 
openings  of  Providence  are  plain — the  call  of  Duty 
is  lond.  It  matters  not  to  the  thinking  observer,  that 
men  come  from  these  scenes  of  guilt  and  misery,  and 
tell  us  that  the  Heathen  are  all  very  good  and  very 
happy.  Such,  men  know  not  what  goodness  and  hap- 
piness mean.  They  carried  into  those  scenes  of  woe 
a  low  standard  of  judgment  and  feeling;  and  no 
wonder,  therefore,  that  their  estimate  is  formed  still 
only  on  the  fleeting  considerations  of  this  perishing 
world,  when  even  a  Christian,  of  high  and  elevated 
mind,  feels  the  deadening  effect  on  his  spirit  of  scenes  of 
stupid  and  cruel  idolatry  ever  passing  before  his  eyes, 
and  complains  that  they  grow  *'  horribly  familiar  T 

The  Committee  wish  to  make  no  other  reference  to 
the  Opposition  which  the  Society  has  had  to  encounter, 
than  to  express  their  thankfulness  that  it  has  been 
followed,  not  only  by  a  great  increase  of  interest 
and  feeling  in  its  behalf,  but  by  a  wide  exten- 
sion of  the  plans  of  other  Members  of  the  Church. 
It  would  ill  become  sincere  Churchmen  to  think 
hardly  of  their  fellow-members,  because  they  do  not 
act  with  them,  provided  they  do  take,  according  to 
their  conscientious  views,  their  utmost  share  in  the 
great  work  of  enlightening  the  world. 

Envious  rivalry,  in  such  a  cause,  is  as  absurd  as  it 
it  tmchriatiau. 


01  NINKTKINTH    REPORT. 

An  aclif  e  friend  of  the  Society  fdrcibly  urges  this 
point. 

It  18  an  encoarasing  fact,  (he  writes^)  that  our  County 
Church  Missionary  Association  will  remit  more  to  its  Parent 
than  the  County  Bible  Society  will,  even  inclnding  payments 
for  Bibles,  though  we  shall  probably  send  up  more  to  the 
Parent  Bible  Society  than  we  have  done  in  any  pree^ding 
year.  How  unfounded  are  the  fears  of  those  %ho  sa{iPOiK' 
that  one  Society  must  necessarily  injure  the  other!  Alas! 
what  a  low  idea  have  such  persons  of  Christian  Charity! 
May,  real  Charity,  so  far  from  having  reached  its  height,  has 
only  just  begun  to  be  exercised  among  us — that  Real  Charity 
which  begins  at  home  in  self-denial  and  in  sacrifices  for  die 
sake  of  Christ ! 

> 

Archbishop  Seeker,  in  a  Sermon  before  the  Society 
for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  in  Foreign  Patte, 
places  this  matter  in  a  most  striking  light,  while  he 
exposes  the  vain  excuses  of  those  who  refij»e  ait  ifidi 
to  this  sacred  cause. 

Some  will  object  (his  Grace  says)  that  all  the  assisitahce 
which  we  can  give  Christianity  is  too  much  wanted  in  eur  own 
country,  to  admit  of  any  schemes  for  propagating  it  in  foreign 
ones.  And  would  to  God  these  persons  would  ask  themselves^ 
whether  they  are  indeed  desirous  of  removing  the  objection 
which  they  make ;  or  only  argue  against  this  and  that  way  of 
doing  good,  to  save  the  expense  of  doing  it  in  any  way ! 
A  true  anfl  judicious  zeal  will  carefully  avoid  raising  an  op- 
position between  two  Charities,  which  is  a  much  surer  inethod 
of  hurting  the  one,  than  serving  th^  other:  whereas,  with 
this  precaution,  a  first  scarce  ever  suffers  considerably,  if  at 
tfll,  by  setting  up  a  second  ;  but  men's  hearts  are  engaged  to 
dot^tribute  to  both. 

Etery  single  Member  of  the  Society  for  Promoting  Chris* 
tian  Knowledge  at  home,  was  originally  incorporated  into 
ours  for  spreading  it  abroad.  That  Society  is  at  this  day  pre* 
moting  the  same  knowledge  in  the  Eastf  as  well  as  here; 
whilst  we  are  doing  it  in  the  West.  Many  of  us  belong  to 
Both  :  and  promise  ourselves  a  larger  share  of  the  blessing  of 
God  in  each,  for  neglecting  neither. 

In  these  nations,  great  provisi6n  is  made  already,  and 
floater  will  daily  be  made,  for  offering  Salvation  to  Mankind. 
They  who  will  reject  it  after  all,  must  do  so^  <ind  take  tlie

sostiiin  a  defensiTe  war,  but  shew,  that  attacking  the  dominions 
of  our  Lord  and  Master  iball  increase  our  zeal  to  extearf 
diem.  tt 

The  Committee  cannot  but  repeat,  on  this  occasion^ 
their  expression  of-  the  high  yalue  which  they  put  on 
the  aid  rendered  by  enlightened  and  devout"^  Chrisp 
tians,  of  whatefer  rank  and  station.  It  is  the  support 
of  those  of  their  Fellow-Churchmen,  who  are  awak- 
ened to  a  sense  of  their  obligations,  which  they  moJk 
highly  esteem.  Of  all  the  labours  of  love  in  whi^ 
Mbn  can  be  engaged  toward  his  Fellow*Men,  in  (he 
work  of  Missions  he  most  peculiarly  needs  the  Divine 
goidance  and  the  Divine  blessing.  And  that  guidance 
and  blessing  may  be  expected,  in  proportion  to  the 
singleness  of  heart  with  which  the  work  is  under- 
taken, and  to  the  spirit  of  humble  dependence  on 
the  Providence  and  Grace  of  the  Saviour  in  which  it 
is  pursued.  The  Committee  do  not  undervalue  the 
Silver  and  the  Gold :  the  Silver  and  the  Gold  must 
equip  the  Christian  Warrior  for  the  field :  they  must 

frovide  him  with  shelter  and  with  food — ^but  it  is  the 
^rayer  of  Faith  that  most   give  the  heart  and  the 
sinews  by  which  Victory  is  to  be  achieved. 

If  there  beany  Member  of  theChurch  who  denies  that 
he  lies  under  an  obligation  to  employ  his  utmost  means 
of  promoting  the  knowledge  of  Christ  in  the  world, 
could  a  contribution  be  wrested,  by  any  adventitioas 
means,  from  such  a  man,  it  would  be  of  little  com- 
parative value.  Efficient  support  can  be  expected, 
only  in  proportion  as  the  duty  of  establishing  Mis- 
sions comes  to  be  understood  and  obeyed,  and  the 
right  spirit  of  undertaking  them  to  be  felt  and  culti^ 
vated. 

The  Committee  would  not  imply,  even  in  the  most 
remote  measure,  that  every  Member  of  the  Church, 
when  he  comes  to  feel  a  real  love  to  the  Missionary 
Cause,  and  to  have  some  sense  of  his  obligation  to 
further  it,  must  necessarily  unite  himself  with  this

this  Institution  to  such  a  man  in  a  light  which  awakens 
bis  fears.  He  may  feel  more  ready  confidence  in

will  be  matter  of  sincere  rejoicing  to  your  Committee, 
if  serious  and  reflecting  Churchmen  of  this  descrip- 
tion, though  they  may  stand  aloof  from  this  Society, 
Mall  yet  be  daily  strengthening  other  bodies  in  the 
l^iurch  by  their  influence  and  their  zeal. 

It  must  ever  be  recollected,  that  the  Church  has 
made  no  provision  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel 
among  the  Heathen.     She  has  no  Institutions  for  this 

Knrpose;  but  has  left  it  wholly  to  the  Charity  of  her 
[embers,  while  her  Daily  Services  sufficiently  indi- 
cate her  anxiety  that  they  should  imbibe  and  cherish 
a  true  Missionary  Zeal.  Nor  could  the  Church  act 
otherwise.  Her  jurisdiction  is  only  over  the  con- 
sciences of  her  Members.  Her  authority  is  wholly 
spiritual.     Her  provisions  for  Instruction  and  Disci- 

{iline  are  all  that  are  committed  to  her.  Christian  Ru- 
ers  may,  by  Legislative  Enactments,  grant  her  main- 
tenance, and  jurisdiction,  and  dignity  ;  and  they  may 
sanction  and  protect  Institutions  voluntarily  formed 
and  supported  by  her  Members.  The  State  might, 
indeed,  grant  most  important  aid  to  the  Charity  of  the 
Church,  by  rendering  Ordination  for  Missionary 
Service  valid,  without  allowing  the  power  to  exercise 
the  Ministry  at  home  unless  on  special  licence,  and 
without  subjecting  the  Prelate  who  may  thus  ordain 
to  the  resoonsibilities  from  which  the  customary 
Titles  relieve  him.* 

^  The  Committee  rpjoice  to  say,  that  an  Act  of  Parliament  receif  ed 
the  Royal  Assent  on  the  2d  of  July,  which  provides  for  the  very  case 
mentioned  in  the  Report ;  and  which  had  been  forcibly  'urged  in  th# 
year  1814,  by  the  Rev.  J  W.  Cunningham,  in  a  work  intituled  ^  Church 
of  England  Missions,''  and  addressed  to  his  Grace  the  Lord  ArchbisKop

MISSIONS. 


In  snnreying  the  8t&te  of  the  unchrisrianized  part 
of  the  world,  it  will,  perhaps,  be  the  most  coDve- 
nient  course,  first  to  circnmuavigate  Africa,  as  beiog 
the  portion  of  it  nearest  to  this  coontry.  After  pas^ 
aiog,  by  the  Western,  Sonthern,  and  Eastern  coasta 
of  that  continent,  into  the  Mediterranean,  and  sur^ 
vexing  its  Northern  shores,  the  circumnangation  of 
this  vast  and  injured  portion  of  the  globe  will  be  com- 

Sieted.  The  £ruropean  and  Asiatic  coasts  of  the 
lediterranean,  and  the  whole  of  the  Turkish  Empire 
connected  with  those  coasts,  will  next  claim  atten* 
tioo ;  and  will  shew,  in  connexion  with  the  Northern 
.shores  of  Africa,  how  important  and  wide  a  field  of 
labour  opens  before  Missionaries  established  in  the 
Mediterranean.  The  countries  surrounding  the  Black 
Sea,  the  Kingdom  of  Persia,  the  Northern  Part9  of 
Asia,  and  the  vast  countries  of  Thibet  and  China, 
will  follow  in  succession;  and  will  lead  to  the  tWQ 
great  divisions  of  Continental  India,  beyond  and 
within  the  Ganges.  Passing  through  the  whole  range 
of  Insular  India,  the  course  will  proceed,  through 
Australasia  and  Polynesia,  to  South  America,  the 
West  Indies,  the  North  American  Indians,  and  the 
ahores  of  Labrador  and  Greenland. 

What  positions  on  this  mighty  chain  the  Society 
occupies  will  be  seen  by  the  enumeration  of  its  Mis- 
sions— which  are  those  of  West  Africa,  the  Mediter- 
ranean, North  India,  ^outh  India,  Ceylon,  Austral- 
asia, and  the  West  Indies. 

To  West  Africa,  New  Zealand,  and  North  India, 
Missionaries  and  others  have  proceeded  from  the  So^ 
ciety,  in  the  course  of  the  year,  amounting,  in  nnni- 
ber,  to  nineteen.

COLONY   OF   SIERRA    LEONE. 

Id  eptering  on  the  details  of  this  earliest  Mission  of 
the  Society,  the  Committee  cannot  but  remind  the 
Members  of  the  words  of  the  late  First  Chaplain  of 
the  Colony,  the  Rev.  Wm.  Garnon,  recorded  in  the 
last  Report — **  Well,  my  dear  Friend,  farewell!  A 
little  more  trial  and  a  little  more  conflict,  and  He  that 
shall  come^  will  comtr  His  trial  and  conflict  were^ 
indeed,  soon  over;  as  he  survived  but  a  few  months, 
and  was  then  taken  away,  in  his  youth  and  in  the^ 
midst  of  his  labours.  Mrs.  Garnon  unexpectedly 
•arrived  in  this  country,  on  the  21st  of  October,  bring- 
ing the  painfnl  intelligence,  that  Mr.  Garnon  and  other 
friends  had  been  removed  from  their  labours,  yite 
particulars  will  be  heard  with  sorrow. 

Mrs.  Decker  died  in  child-birth,  on  the22d  of  June; 
and  Mrs.  Collier,  under  the  same  circumstances,  on 
Tuesday,  the  28th  of  July,  having  been  delivered  of  a 
still-born  child  on  the  preceding  day.  Mr.  Wenzel 
being  taken  ill,  in  the  middle  of  July,  sent  for  Mr. 
Garnon  in  the  night:  Mr.  Garnon,  unwilling  to  decline 
this  oflBlce  of  kindness,  left  his  bed,  to  which  he  had 
retired  some  hours,  after  great  fatigue  from  thelabouns* 
of  the  Sunday:  being  thoroughly  wet,  both  in  going 
and  returning,  an  inflammatory  fever  ensued,  of  which 
lie  died  on  the  29th  of  July,  the  day  after  Mrs.  Col- 
lier. Hie  next  day»  his  bereaved  widow  was  safely 
delivered  of  a  son,  which  did  not,  however,  long  sur- 
vive. '  Mr.  Wenzel  himself  departed  on  the  Saturday 
following,  the  Ist  of  August,  worn  down  by  age  and 
infirmities.  ''  In  the  evening  of  that  day,"  observies 
Mr.  Cates,  in  a  communication  which  will  be  read 
with  melancholy  feeliqgs,*  **  we  retraced  our  steps  to 
the  Church- Yard,  to  commit  his  body  to  the  earth; 
and  ^us  concluded  as  eventful  a  week  a$  perhaps  the

WC8T  AFRICA   MISSION.  09 

History  of  the  African  Mission  has  on  records  It  may 
afford,^  Mr.  Gates  adds,  ''  some  consolation,  to  know 
that  those,  whose  loss  we  lament,  felt,  on  their  death- 
beds, the  support  of  those  principles  which  they  pro- 
fessed during  life." 

The  loss  of  Mr.  Garnon  was  deeply  lamented  by 
every  cfass  of  persons  in  the  Colony.  In  a  Letter 
from  Governor  Mac  Carthy  to  Government,  a  copy  of 
which  Earl  Bathurst  was  pleased  to  communicate  to 
the  Society,  his  Excellency  says — •*  I  feel  it  a  melan- 
choly satisfaction  to  state,  that  the  Deceased  and  his 
Relict,  were  patterns  of  Piety,  Christian  Virtue,  and 
Conjugal  Felicity."  Mr.  Renner  spoke  the  language 
of  his  Brethren  \fhen  he  exclaimed — "  Garnon,  be- 
loved and  respected,  is  no  more!  Sierra  Leone  has 
lost  a  Preacher  of  Righteousness — one  who  preached 
Christ  Jesus  faithfully — revealing  the  whole  counsel  oj 
€rod  respecting  man's  salvation.  O  Free  Town  1  thou 
hast  lost  a  great  treasure  in  the  man,  who  spent  every 
day  in  thee  in  much  labour  and  activity.'"*^ 

But  these  losses  required  redoubled  exertion;  for 
they  were  accompanied,  and  not  a  little  alleviated,  by 
the  tidings  of  the  great  increase  of  true  religion  among 
the  objects  of  the  Society's  care.  **  Prosperity  with 
Aiflictions''  was,  in  Africa,  as  in  other  places,  the 
course  in  which  it  pleased  God  to  lead  His  servants. 

The  Labourers  themselves  were  anxious  for  further 
aid.  "  And  now,  Dear  Sirs,"  Mr.  Cates  wrote,  **  he 
not  discouraged.  Let  more  labourers  put  their  lives 
into  their  hands,  and  come  to  help  those  who  are  left. 
Ethiopia  shall  yet  stretch  out  her  hands  unto  God!" 
"  As  we  have  but  a  short  time  in  Africa,"  Mr.  Collier 
^writes,"  in  which  we  can  with  safety  take  an  active 
part  in  promulgating  the  Everlasting  Gospel,  enlarge 
your  hearts  toward  us.  Send  some  able  and  pious 
Missionaries.  We  greatly  waOt  them.  Remember 
every  one  of  us  in  your  prayers." 

*  Since  the  Report  was  delivered,  a  very  instructive  and  interestiB^ 
Memoir  of  Mr.  Garnon  has  appeared  in  the  Missionary  RegisCBr,  for 
June  and  July.

70  NINETEENTH    REPORT. 

Neither  are  the  Committee  nor  their  friends  discou- 
raged. An  active  and  zealous  supporter  of  the  So- 
cf^y  has  addressed  some  remarks  to  the  Secretary  oh 
tkis  subject — iioble  io  themselves,  and  well  vrortby  of 
the  occasion ! 

If  vour  Comniuee  (he  writes)  are  agitating  plant  for  tho 
fUppfy  of  Africa,  let  them  know  that  our  Society  pledge9 
Hselr  to  contribute  more  than  it  did  last  year.  Let  us  not  be 
discouraged— >*'  Sanguis  Martyrum,  semen  Ecclesiae;^  and,  by 
liberal  tnwg$  we  shall  stand.  Perhaps  the  Almighty  requires 
the  propitiation  of  His  justice,  before  he  will  confer  upon  us 
the  privilege  of  being  the  Heralds  of  His  mercy.  But  evea 
thii  16  our  duty,  though  painful  and  discouraging:  and  let  the 
Society,  instead  of  standing  aloof,  hasten  to  pay  the  debt* 
Let  it  rejoice  that  it  is  permitted  to  make  an  atonement  for 
ur  country,  and  to  stand  between  the  living  and  the  dead. 

avid  was  not  permitted  to  build  the  Temple,  because  he  was 
b  man  of  blood;  but  the  honour  was  reserved  for  Solomon, 
^riiaps  the  generation  actually  engaged  in  the  Slave  Trade, 
asay  not  be  permitted  to  effect  much :  they  may  collect  the  ma- 
terials, and  form  the  plans;  but  it  may  be  reserved  for  tlieijr 
children,  to  see  the  spiritual  edifice  in  all  its  beauty  and  per- 
fection. Let  the  aged  Members,  however,  of  the  Society  re- 
member that  it  was  good  that  it  was  in  tlieir  hearts. 

We  ought  not  to  be  discouraged  by  our  losses  in  Africa ; 
since,  even  on  the  principle  of  Justice,  we  should  be  very  lil)e- 
ral  to  that  country.  For  what  has  influenced  the  public  mind 
so  much  as  the  interesting  accounts  communicated  respecting 
THAT  COUNTRY  ?  I  firmly  believe  that  three-fourths  of  the 
aeal  for  Missions  now  evident  among  us  was  first  excited  by 
THE  STATE  OF  Afeica.     Go  and  tell  of  rains,  of  fevers,  of 

f raves,  of  deaths,  of  Missionaries  dead,  of  Missionaries 
yi^ng,  of  Missior^aries  fainting  under  the  burden  and  heat 
of  the  day,  tell  of  the  good  already  done,  and  that  others  are 
panting  to  enter  into  this  very  field — these  things  will  produce 
even  more  beneficial  effects  than  they  have  ever  yet  produced : 
they  will  produce  suflicient  funds  for  the  support,  not  only  of 
the  African  Mission,  but  of  the  whole.  Such  a  Labourer  as 
this  IS  surely  worthy  of  its  hire  :  an  Advocate  so  touching,  so 
eloiquent,  so  successful,  should  be  well  repaid.  In  fine,  notwith- 
standing the  Society's  expenditure  upon  Africa,  Africa  is  an 
advantage  to  the  Soqicly — a  Creditor,  and  not  a  Debtor.

mfttee  t)cg:  to  state  that  much  raisapprehenaion  pre- 
Tails:  partly^  from  the  exag^ratioos  which  haye  ap- 
peared;  and  partly,  from  the  fatal  effects  of  a  ^ant  of 
strict  and  watchful  attention,  on  the  part  of  nev 
comers,  to  the  requisite  rules  and  cautions.  The 
Colony,  il  is  said,  is  not  subject  to  the  usual  propor^ 
tion  of  deaths  occurring  in  the  West  Indies,  while 
it  has  greatly  the  advantage  of  those  Islands  in  its  free- 
dom from  hurricanes  and  contagious  diseases. 

Mr.  Collier  having  been  appointed  by  Earl  Bathurst 
to  succeed  Mr.  Garnon  as  First  Chaplain,  it  became 
necessary  to  provide  a  Second  Chaplain  for  the  Co^ 
lony.  Mr.  Thomas  Rock  Garnsey  had  been  received 
«nder  the  protection  of  the  Society,  with  the  view  of  bis 
proceeding  to  Jiidia;  but  the  Committee,  anxious  thai 
a  suitable  Chaplain  should  be  provided  without  leoB 
of  time,  offered,  with  his  full  concurrence,  the  services 
of  Mr.  Garnsey.  Mr.  Garnsey  has,  in  consequence^ 
been  appointed  to  the  Chaplaincy,  having  been  admitted 
to  Deacon's  Orders  by  the  Lord  Bishop  of  Londoa. 
After  receiving  Priest's  Ordersf  he  will  proceed  to 
Sierra  Leone,  by  the  close  of  the  Rains  of  the  present 
sieason. 

The  arrival  of  Schoolmasters  and  Schoolmistresses 
by  the  £clio  and  the  Mary  has  already  been  men^ 
tioned.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Morgan  were  appointed  to  the 
Schools  at  Free  Town,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Taylor  to  take 
charge  of  Charlotte  Town,  and  Mr.  Bull  to  the  Chris- 
tian Institution.  On  the  subsequent  arrival  of  the 
Mary,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jesty  relieved  Mr.  and  Mrs, 
Morgan  in  the  Free  Town  Schools,  in  order  that  they 
might  supply  Mr.  Johnson's  place  at  Regent^s  Town; 
and  Mr.  Barrett  was  appointed  to  Kissey^ 

As  one  Master  was  considered  insufficient  for  the 
Free  Towu  Schools,  attendance  on  an  Adult  Evening 
School  being  requisite  after  the  Morning  and  After- 
noon Schools  for  Boys,  George  Fox,  a  Native  edu- 
cated and  sent  out  by  the  African  Institution,  has 
been  retained  in  his  situation  of  assistant.

good  success,  into  the  Free  Town  Schools^  so  tbut 
sU  the  Schools  of  the  Colooy  under  the  Society  are 
BOW  conducted  on  one  uniform  plan.  In  January  last, 
according  to  Official  Returns,  there  were  574  Scholars 
iR  the  Free  Town  Schools,  and  1530  in  the  Ccuintry 
Schools;  making  a  total  of  2104  Scholars  under  in« 
struction  according  to  the  National^ System;  all  of 
wliom,  except  06  at  Bathurst  and  40  at  Kent,  were 
under  the  care  of  the  Society.  This  is  an  increase  of 
740  Scholars,  since  the  Return  of  March  1817 ;  the 
Bnmber  then  being,  as  stated  in  the  last  Report,  575 
ia  Free  Town  on  the  Royal  British  System,  and  789 
in  the  Country  Schools  on  the  National. 

To  the  Eight  Parishes  and  Towns  mentioned  in  the 
last  Report,  it  appears,  from  an  Official  Return  of  the 
Population  of  the  Colony  at  the  end  of  the  year  1818, 
that  the  Parish  of  St.  Edward  has  been  added,  with  a 
new  Town  of  Negroes  therein  named  Kent, 

.  By  the  same  Document  it  appears  that  the  whole 
population  of  the  Colony,  exclusive  of  the  Royal  Afri* 
can  Corps,  then  amounted  to  9565  persons.  Before 
the  printing  of  the  Return,  at  the  end  of  February,  an 
increase  had  taken  place  of  449,  carrying  the  total,  at 
that  period,  to  10,014;  being  an  increase,  since  March 
1817,  of  2051 -r-tbe  total  then  being,  inclusive  of  the 
Rroomen  bs  in  the  present  Return,  7963.  Of  this  in- 
crease, 1554  were  Negroes  liberated  froip  captured 
Slave  Ships. 

This  population  of  9565  persons  given  in  the  abov^ 
.Reium  was  distributed  in  the  respective  Towns  and 
their  vicinities  as  follows: — Free  Town  (including  74p 
Kroo  Men  and  Boys),  4430— Leopold,  308r— Char-

The  classes  of  which  the  population  consisted  were 
-as  follows :— Europeans,  115;  of  which  88  were 
men,  12  women,  and  5  children — Nova  Scotia  Set-

The  Roads  and  Public  and  Private  Buildings  ara 
in  a  slate  of  rapid  increase  and  improvement.  In  a 
Survey  of  these  improvements,  which  has  appeared 
in  the  Sierra  Leone  Gazette,  it  is  said,  in  speaking  of 
those  which  were  carrying  on  in  the  Country  Pa- 
rishes— 

They  have  been  achieved  by  the  labour  of  Liberated  Ne- 
groes alone,  under  the  direction  of  their  respective  Ministers 
and  Superintendents.  The  R(5yal  Munificence  and  the  Na- 
tional Liberality  have  pursued,  with  great  cost  and  persever* 
ance,  the  generous  object  of  the  deliverance  and  civilizatioa 
of  the  once-devoted  victims  of  barbarism  and  bonda&;e ;  and 
we  can  anticipate,  with  delight,  the  sublime  gratification 
which  the  friends  and  supporters  of  this  great  cause  will  de- 
rive from  seeing,  so  soon,  such  excellent  practical  confiraaa- 
tions  of  their  hopes  and  reasonings — sucn  benign  fruits  of 
their  zeal  and  exertions.  We  trust,  that,  as  Providence  has 
blessed  most  of  the  illustrious  leaders  of  that  Great  Cause 
with  length  of  days  to  behold  this  heavenlv  harvest  of  their 
toil  and  devotion,  they  all — and  if  we  might  name  any  one 
in  particular,  Mr.  Wilberforce  especially— may  be  long  pre- 
served to  enjoy  the  permanent  and  constantly  increasing 
glory,  which  must'  result  from  so  ample  and  solid  a  com- 
mencement of  social  and  religious  good  a»  these  Liberated

At  the  Anntifiil  Meeting  of  the  Auxiliary  Bible  Sk>-» 
ciety  for  the  Colony  and  its  Dependencies,  held  at 
the  Court  House,  on  the  6th  of  January,  his  Excel- 
lency the  Governor  in  the  chair,  his  Excellency  stated 
that  he  was  fully  convinced,  that  very  great  and 
essential  benefits  had  already  been  derived  to  the  Co» 
lony  from  the  Society ;  and  was  confident  that  it 
wonld  extend  more  and  more,  and  unite  men  of  all 
religions  and  denominations  in  brotherly  idve  and 
Christian  Charity.  It  appeared  from  tl>e  Report  that 
the  Committee  had  visited,  according  to  the  sugges* 
tion  of  the  late  lamented  Secretary  of  the  Society; ' 
the  Rev.  William  Ganion,  from  house  lo  house,  in 
Freetown,  to  ascertain  the  want  of  the  Scriptures 
and  the  ability  to  re'4d  them  :  of  240  Christian  Far 
milies,  which  had  been  visited,  scarcely  one  wa9 
found  without  some  one  who  could  read,  and  above 
400  Bibles  and  Testaments  were  ascertained  to  be  in 
use  among  them :  this  visitation  had  nearly  doubled 
the  number  of  subscribers  :  the  most  respectful  atten- 
tion was  shewn  to  the  objects  of  the  Institution  ;  and 
the  Committee,  to  use  their  own  words,  **  in  witness- 
ing the  domestic  comforts  and  good  habits  of  the 
people,  rejoiced  to  behold  the  beneficial  influence  of 
the  Divine  Book,  affording  the  strongest  inducements 
to  all  classes  to  aid  its  more  ample  diffusion."  In 
little  more  than  two  years,  considerably  more  than 
^300  had  been  contributed.  The  Chief  Justice  ad- 
dressed the  Meeting  at  considerable  length,  and  in  a 
manner  well  adapted  to  promote  the  enlargement  and 
the  local  influence  and  benefits  of  the  Institution.*

0i  Ikt  MiftioDariMf  held  in  October,  thid  measiira 
Was  reaolved  on,  wtien  it  wae  d^termioed  that  each 
Missioimry  should  endea^rour,  so  far  as  he  might 
deem  it  prudent,  to  collect  coDtributtons  at  his  Sta- 
tion. The  eum  of  ^68 : 4 :  11  has  been  paid  to  the 
Society,  as  the  first  cootribiitions  of  \i%  Lafaonrera 
and  their  Megroea.  It  k  a  moat  grateful  return  for 
the  Society^  aoKieties  and  exertions,  to  find  the  ob- 
jects of  its  soccesaful  care  now  eager  to  assist,  ac- 
cording to  their  means,  in  sending  that  Gospel  to 
their  coABtrycnen  which  has  proved  a  blessing  to 
themselves. 

The  Governor  has  expressed  his  wish  that  the  Co- 
lony should  become  ''  a  focus  of  Christianity,''  foe 
the  benelit  of  the  neighbouring  Tribes.  The  Conw 
niittee  rejoice  to  see  that  it  is  beginning  to  answer  to 
this  character.  It  is,  indeed,  highly  desirable,  as 
the  late  Mr.  Garnon  urges,  that  **  there  should  be  not 
only  a  suficient  nuMiber  of  Labourers  for  the  differ- 
lent  towns  in  the  Colony;  but  two  or  three  super- 
ttomeraries,  in  case  of  sickness  or  death ;  and  to  enable 
one  and  another,  by  tnms,  to  posh  forth,  in  the  dry 
aeaaen^  among  the  Natives,  to  preach  the  Gospel  to 
them." 

Two  excursions,  have  been  taken,  with  a  view  to 
examine  the  state  of  the  districts  bordering  on  the 
Colony. 

In  the  first,  Mr.  Johnson  and  Mr.  Catest,  accompa- 
nied by  Wni.  Tainba,  one  of  the  Communicants  at 
Regent's  Town,  and  other  Natives,  walked  about  140 
miles.  Wm.  Tamba  several  times  addressed  his  coun- 
trymen, with  much  efiect,  in  their  native  tongues.* 

Mr.  Johnson  and  Mr.-  Cates  were  so  satisfied  of 
the  advantages  likely  to  result  from  the  Natives  being 
addressed  by  their  countrymen,  in  the  manner  in 
which  William  Tamba  had  addressed  them,  that  both 
^eand  William  Davis  were  taken,  by  the  Mission-

aries,  ioto  the  service  of  the  Society,  Mr.  Wilfiam 
SLaudle,  an  Englishman,  who  gave  satisfactory  evi- 
dence of  right  principles  and  character,  was  eogi4;ed 
a^  a  Schoolmaster. 

A  Second  Journey  was  in  contemplation.  It  was 
intended  that  Mr.  Gates,  accompanied  by  Wm.  Tarn- 
Ift^  William  Davis,  and  others,  should  travel  down 
the  coast  as  far  as  the  Bassa  Country,  about  400 
oiiles  from  the  Colony.  William  Tamba  speaks  all 
^ .  tongues  used  in  the  greater  part  of  this  route, 
9lid  Wm.  Davis  is  himself  a  native  of  the  Bassa 
Country. 

The  Society  will,  doubtless,  highly  approve  these 
journeys.  It  is  by  the  constant  repetition  of  such  ex- 
cursions, that  the  surrounding  Tribes  must  be  brought 
gradually  acquainted  with  that  best  blessing  of  man, 
which  it  will  be  the  glory  of  Sierra  Leone  to  be  the 
medium  of  communicating  to  them. 

And  let  it  be  considered  for  a  moment  how  remark- 
ably the  Providence  of  God  seems  to  be  preparing 
instruments  for  this  service,  by  over-ruling  that  wicked 
fCftffic  in  human  beings  to  subserve  the  purposes  of 
His  own  glory.  "  We  have  converts,'*  Mr.  Johnson 
writes  respecting  his  Christian  Negroes  at  Regent 
Town,  *^  of  almost  all  the  nations  about  us ;  even 
irom  the  banks  of  the  famous  and  unexplored  river 
Niger — some  from  various  countries  beyond  Tombuc- 
^.too."  The  Slave-Trade  may  endanger  the  safety  of 
Natives  in  these  journeys,  unless  accompanied  by  £o* 
ropeans ;  nor  would  it  be  prudent,  for  the  present, 
that  Natives  should  travel  without  Europeans, 
till  they  have  acquired  experience:  but  the  time 
Js  not  far  distant,  as  your  Committee  hope,  when 
the  country  will  be  open  to  the  labours  of  well-in- 
structed and  able  Native  Teachers.  In  the  mean 
time  there  is  no  difficulty  in  these  journeys  of  investi- 
gation. ^'  I  am  fully  persuaded,"  Mr.  Johnson  writes, 
^  that  an  European,  accustomed  to  the  climate,  may 
go  through  any  part  of  Africa,  if  he  go  as  a  beogar,

mod  give  ho  presents— an  evil  that  has  been  too  macli 
countenanced/' 

The  state  and  circumstances  of  a  Missionanr  ia 
Western  Africa  require  a  truly  devoted  spirit  in  Mis- 
sionaries. The  Committee  quote,  on  this  subject, 
the  very  just  sentiments  of  one  who  enters  into  the 
true  dignity  and  spirit  of  this  holy  calling : — 

One  of  the  greatest  clangers,  perhaps,  to  which  we  are  ex* 
poied  in  Africa,  is  the  loss  of  that  heart-felt  desire  and  expeo- 
tation  of  seeing  the  Heathen  converted  with  which  we  si^t 
out.  O  Sirs  1  pray  for  all  whom  you  have  sent  or  may  send  to 
Africa,  that  we  may  not  fall  into  such  a  dreadful  mistake^  as 
to  think  that  Conversion  is  to  be  looked  for  only  at  a  remote 
period,  and  that  Civilization  is  all  that  can  be  at  present  €JD» 
pected. 

There  are  two  things,  which  are  perhaps  not  generally  to^ 
much  regarded  as  they  should  be,  in  the  character  of  a  Mian 
sionary  or  Schoolmaster  :  th^  one  is— that  he  gives  a  decided 
preference  to  the  employment  in  which  he  is  engaged,  before 
all  others,  however  honourable  or  easy  they  may  be:  the 
other — that  he  be  convinced  that  the  sum  allowed  him  fbr 
salary,  is  far  better  for  him  than  more.  Had  these  two  aoa* 
Jifications  been  possessed  bj  all  who  have  been  sent  to  AfnoSt 
how  many  of  the  evils  which  we  have  now  to  deplore  would 
have  been  prevented ! 

A  change  of  circmnstances  in  Western  Africa  in- 
duced the  Committee  to  convene  a  Special  General 
Meeting  of  the  Society,  to  take  into  consideration 
some  questions  respecting  the  Scltool  and  Ship  Funds. 
This  Meeting  was  held  on  the  8lh  of  March,  at  the 
House  of  the  Society — Sir  Alexander  Johnston,  Knt 
one  of  the  Vice-Presidents,  in  the  Chair.  The  de-' 
terminations  of  the  Meeting,  on  these  points,  the 
Committee  will  now  report. 

The  Society  having  been  compelled,  by  the  revival 
of  the  Slave  Trade  to  relinquish  its  stations  in  the

to  charge  itself  with  the  education  of  all  the  Children

Frtt  Town  Schools. 

The  care  and  charge  of  these  Schools  have  de- 
Tolved  on  the  Society  since  the  beginning  of  last  yean 
Till  permanent  and  adequate  arrangements  could  be 
made  for  them,  the  best  assistance  was  called  in  thaft 
circumstances  allowed.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Garnon  and 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Collier,  rendered  every  aid  in  their 
power.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Morgan  entered  on  the  charge 
of  these  Schools  on  the  1st  of  January;  and  have 
been  succeeded  therein,  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jesty,  who 
are  assisted  by  George  Fox,  a  Native  Teacher. 

On  the  14th  of  December,  a  Public  Examination 
of  the  School  took  place,  at  the  Court  House,  before 
the  Governor  and  the  principal  persons  of  the  Colony. 
Both  Boys  and  Girls  were  found  to  have  made  great 
pn^ress  under  the  National  System,  which  has  been 
introduced  in  the  last  year.  There  were  present  301 
Boys  and  133  Girls :  the  absentees,  from  sickness 
and  other  causes,  were  80  Boys  and  60  Girls ;  mak- 
ing a  total  of  574.  Forty  Lads  had  left  School  and 
thirty-nine  entered :  twenty  Girls  had  left,  and  an 
equal  number  joined :  making  a  decrease  of  one 
since  the  last  Annual  Examination.  His  Excellency 
closed  the  Examination  by  an  afiectionate  Address 
to  the  Children,  and  expressed  his  satisfaction  at  fhe 
state  of  the  Schools.

Chrhtian  Institution^  at  Leicester  Mountain. 

An  important,  and,  as  your  Committee  trust,  a  be-  ^ 
neficial  change  has  taken  place  in  the  arrangement! 
at  the  Christian  Institnfion. 

After  the  death  of  Mr.  Butscher,  in  July  1817,  the 
chief  care  of  this  establishment  devolved  on  Mr.  and 
Mrsi.  Horlon.  They  continued  in  their  charge  till 
the  month  of  March :  but  thr-i  withdrew  theiuselre* 
from  the  service  of  the  Society. 

To  prevent  the  ill  consequences  which  might  be 
expected  to  follow  if  such  a  number  of  children 
should  be  left  without  superintendence,  Mr.  Cates 
removed  from  his  station  at  Wilherforce,  and  took 
chargre  of  the  Boys'  School  at  the  Institution,  till 
Mr.  Wilhelm  should  arrive  from  the  Rio  Pongas, 
on  the  breaking  up  of  Canoffee  SctUement ;  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Garnon  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Collier  undertaking 
to  resicie  there,  in  the  alternate  weeks. 

On  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Wilhelm,  at  the  end  of  April, 
he  proceeded  to  the  Christian  Institution.  He  had 
been  appointed  to  take  charge  ofBathur^t;  but  the 
state  of  the  Institution  required  this  change  in  hisdes^ 
tination.  Mr.  Cates  returned,  for  a  short  time,  to 
Wilherforce  i  but  Mr.  Decker  being  appointed  to  that 
town,  Mr.  Cates,  in  Uie  month  of  June,  resumed  his 
post  at  heiceslev  Mountain.  There  were  then  about 
50  Girls  and  170  Boys  and  Young  Men.  Of  these 
last  there  were  between  60  and  70  from  fifteen  tu 
twenty  years  of  age,  learning  different  trades. 

The  habitual  restraints,  necessary  for  children  and 
y6uiig  persons  circumstanced  as  those  were  at  the  In- 
stitution, being  '  frequently  interrupted  and  relaxed, 
under  the  difficulties  which  occurred,  many  of  them, 
e«pecially  of  the  elder  youths  now  grown  up  almost  to 
tnapboodi  begati  to  manifest  an  unmanageable  and* 
turbulent  disposition.  These  elder  youths  had  made 
great  progress  as  mechanics ;  but  this  had  retarded 
their  advancement  as  scholars. 


82  NIN£T£KNTH    IIEPOBT. 

In  the  School,  eonsisting  of  about  100  youoger 
Boys,  the  Natioaal  System  had  been  somewhat  re- 
relaxed  ;  but  Mr.  Gates  set  himself,  and  with  success, 
to  restore  its  vigour.  In  this  work,  John  Maxwell,  who 
had  succeeded  John  Rhodes  as  usher,  was  of  use  to 
him,  having  acquired  in  London  a  tolerable  knowledge 
of  the  System.  *^  The  Boys  make  great  improve- 
ment," Mr.  Collier  wrote,  '*  both  in  learning  and  in 
manners,  under  the  care  of  Mr.  Gates." 

It  appeai*ed  likely,  however,  on  various  accounts, 
that  a  change  might  be  advantageously  made  in  the 
plan  of  the  Institution.  An  extract  of  a.  Letter  from 
his  Excellency  Governor  Mac  Garthy  to  the  Secretary, 
dated  Aug.  28,  1818,  will  explain  the  views  on  which 
this  change  was  suggested  : — 

Since  the  death  of  the  Rev.  Leopold  Butscher^  the  Esta- 
blishment on  Leicester  Mountain  has  been  losing  ground: 
and,  under  all  the  circumstances  of  the  case,  and  coDstdertng 
the  difficulty  of  procuring  Europeans  (men  and  women)  <|oa- 
lified  to  superintend  such  an  extensive  concern,  I  am  inclined 
to  concur  in  the  opinion  of  the  whole  of  the  Members  of  your 
Society  who  have  spoken  to  me  on  the  subject,  that  it  might 
perhaps  forward  more  effectually  the  cause  which  we  all  have 
so  much  at  heart,  if  the  Establishment  was  converted  into  a 
College,  on  the  same  footing  as  that  at  Windsor,  in  Nova 
Scotia,  so  far  as  the  relative  circumstances  might  permit* 
The  females  mi^ht  be  given  up  to  the  care  of  the  wiTes  of 
thoae  Missionaries  who  act  as  Superintendents  of  Parishes; 
mod  the  Society  might  be  relieved  from  the  maintenance  of 
f  ach  boys  as,  after  one  or  two  years'  schooling,  might  be  found 
better  calculated  for  handicrafts  and  labourers  than  for  scholan. 
A  certain  number  of  the  Children  of  the  Colony  mig;bt  be  ad- 
mitted as  Scholars,  in  order  to  their  receiving  a  superior  eda* 
catioo*  The  parents  of  these  Children  would,  of  course,  deftay 
their  expenses;  and  the  Society  would  only  have  to  support 
such  Natives  of  Africa,  either  from  the  Captured  Negro  ClaM' 
or  Children  of  Chiefs,  as  they  might  deem  advisable.  A  con- 
siderable proportion  of  the  money  now  expended  in  the  rap- 
port of  the  Children,  might  be  appropriated  to  the  maintenance 
of  Teachers  of  the  Classics,  Arabic,  and  other  Langaacet. 
Sach  a  plan,  I  conceive,  would  equally,  if  not  in  a  ni^ber 
lifgrae,  receive  the  support  of  the  liberal  friends  of  Africa, 
The  Society  would  not  be  considered  as  departing  from  M

ertiont  id  a  cante  which  nrasl  oonunaod  the  feelingt  of  mta^  < 

After  a  full  consideration  of  this  plan,  the  Cooh 
mittee  cordially  adopted  the  saggestion  of  Governor 
Mac  Carthy,  as  entirely  falling  in  with  the  ultimate 
views  and  wishes  of  the  Society  with  respect  t6 
Africa,  and  offering  the  best  hopes  of  mora 
speedily  realizing  those  wishes.  The  diffusion  of 
Thie  Keligion  will  be  still  the  one  great  object  of 
the  Institution :  while,  therefore,  pious  and  promising 
Youths  will  be  trained  up  tor  Christian  Teachers  among 
their  Countrymen,  it  will  be  found  not  a  little  conducive, 
under  the  blessing  of  God,  to  the  main  purposes  of  the 
Society  with  reference  to  Africa,  to  afford  a  good  eda* 
cation,  in  sound  principles  and  useful  knowledge,  to 
such  Youths  as  may  be  designed  for  situations  in  the 
Colony,  and  who,  it  may  be  hoped,  will  thereby  gnip 
doally  augment  both  its  intellectual  and  moral  stUengtb. 

His  Excellency,  under  date  of  the  16th  of  January, 
expressed  himself  much  gratified  that  the  Committee 
had  concurred  in  the  plan  recommended  by  him.  A 
selection  had,  in  consequence,  been  made  of  such 
Boys  as,  from  their  conduct  and  abilities,  it  was  deemed 
moat  eligible  to  retain.  They  appeared  intelligent, 
his  Excellency  states,  and  sincerely  attached  to  the 
Society.  The  other  Boys  and  Girls  were  permitted 
to  make  a  choice.  These  Boys  HSO  in  number)  and 
Girls  (40)  thus  dispersed  over  the  Colony,  together 
witb^  others  named  after  Benefactors,  will  still  be  con- 
tktiied  as  JBenefactors'  Children,  and  will  be  exclu«i 
sively  under  the  tuition  of  the  Society,  but  the  charges 
of  their  maintenance  will  be  defrayed  by  Government. 
The  consideration  which  now  most  strongly  presses 
on  the  Committee  in  reference  to  this  subject,  is  the 
DTOvidiug  of  competrat  teachers  for  the  Institutioo*

of  Satan  and  the  translating  of  them  into  the  King- 
dom of  God — such  a  man  has  now  before  him  an 
opportunity  of  assisting  in  this  work  of  Heaveti,  to 
an  extent  incalculable  in  its  ukimate  conseauences. 
B?ery  provision  will  be  made  for  his  comfort  and 
usefulness  which  such  a  man  could  desire :  and  your 
Ck>mmittee  do  earnestly  press  the  consideration  of  this 
subject  on  such  Cleigymen,  in  different  parts  of  the 
Kingdom,  as  may  have  made  the  requisite  attainments, 
and  feel  deeply  for  the  salvation  of  Africa. 

In  connexion  with  the  supply  of  the  best  means  of 
Education,  it  will  be  a  great  object  to  make  adequate 
provision  in  the  Institution  for  perfecting  and  printing 
the  works  already  in  preparation  in  Susoo  and  in 
Bullorn^;  and  ultimately  for  supplying  the  numerous 
tribes  on  the  Coast  and  in  the  Interior,  both  with  living 
Instructors,  and  with  Elementary  Books  and  the  Scrip- 
tures in  their  various  tongues. 

In  Susoo  and  in  BuUom,  much  has  been  already 
done :  by  Messrs.  Renner,  Wilhelm,  and  Klein,  in 
Sttsoo;  and  by  Mr.  Ny lander,  in  BuHom:  and 
Mr.  Wilhelm  and  Mr.  Klein  are  still  prosecuting 
translations  into  Susoo. 

> further  advances  may  be  made  in  the  grammatical 
knawjedge  of  Susoo  and  of  BuUom,  and  some  ac- 
quaintance formed  with  TiiAmanee  and  other  tongues, 
by  means  of  the  Liberated  N^roes  who  apeak. these 
languages.  Some  idea  may  be  fbrmed  of  the  extant 
torwhich  these  labours  may,  in  time,  be  carried,  by 
considering  the  fact,  that,  in  SLfgfgrifn  Town  aloue« 
there  are  Natives  of  twenty  different  natiooa*.  all  \^r

s  the  formatioD  of  Societies  among  tbemselveSy  both  for 
mutual  advantage  and  in  bebatf  of  their  countrymeo. 

A  **  Benefit  Society"  baa  been  established  for  the 
relief  of  the  Sick.  On  occasion  of  Mr.  Johoton's 
suggesting  this  plan  to  them,  one  of  them  stood  up, 
and^  after  speaking  of  the  mercy  of  God  to  them,  m 
bringing  them  from  their  own  countries  to  hear  the 
glad  tidings  of  Salvation  by  Christ,  added,  with 
striking  simplicity  and  efiect,  in  his  broken  English^- 
'*  Dat  be  very  good  ting,  Broders !  we  be  no  more  of 
plenty  country :  we  belong  to  one  country  now — Hea- 
ven !^  We  belong  to  one  Ring  now — ^Jesus !  Suppose  one 
be  sick,  all  be  sick:  suppose  one  be  well,  all  oe  well  !** 
— ^^  Wbat  a  simple  but  practical  comment,"  it  has  been 
well  remarked,  **  on  those  words,  Whether  one  mem- 
her  suffer^  ail  the  members  suffer  with  it ;  or  one  mem" 
her  be  honoured^  all  the  members  rgoice  with  it  !^  The 
Society,  thus  formed,  has  been  the  means  of  greatly 
promoting  harmony  and  brotherly  love. 

A  *^  Friendly  Building  Society"  has  also  been  es- 
tablished. Its  object  is  to  enable  the  members  to  erect 
for  themselves  substantial  houses  of  stone.  This  So- 
ciety has  not  yet  made  much  progress. 

The  formation  of  a  Missionary  Association  in  aid 
of  the  Society  has  been  before  noticed,  and  its  first 
Anniversary  will  be  hereafter  mentioned. 

The  Scholars,  both  Adults  and  Children,  which 
were  stated  in  the  last  report  to  amount  to  409,  were 
increased,  at  Midsummer,  to  499,  and  that  number  is 
given  in  the  Official  Return  of  January  last.  This 
numbw  consisted  of  127  Boys  and  108  Giris ;  with  184 
Men  and  Boys  and  80  Women,  in  Evading  Schools. 

With  a  view  to  quaUfy  than  to  become  teachen  of 
their  countrymen,  several  of  the  Communicants  re- 
ceive extra  instruction.  William  Tomba,  David  Noah, 
and  William  Davis,  are  very  diligent  aod  make  good 
progress. 

^  Mr.  Johnson  writes-—

have  built  two  School  Houses :  one  70  bj  30  feet ;  tnd  die 
other  64  by  30. 

On  the  4th  of  Jaoaary  an  Examination  of  the  Schools 
took  place  before  the  Governor,  and  many  of  the  prin- 
cipal persons  of  the  Ck)lony.  His  Excel  lency  addressed 
them  with  his  accastomed  benevolence,  and  expressed 
the  highest  gratification  at  their  progress ;  ui^ng  the 
adults,  in  particular,  to  assist,  with  zeal  and  alacrity, 
in  teaching  those  of  their  countrymen  who  had  not 
had  such  opportunities  as  themselves.  The  Meo, 
Women,  and  Children  present  owed  to  Great  Britaio, 
under  the  blessing  of  God,  every  thing  that  could  dig- 
nify man:  they  were  emancipated  from  Slavery;  and, 
above  all  other  benefits,  they  were  educated  in  the  prin- 
ciples of  Christianity.  ''  Henceforth  then,**  said  his 
Excellency,  *'  worship  God,  as  Christians ;  and  serve, 
as  Britons,  the  Country  ancl  the  King.** 

The  improvement  in  the  external  condition  of  tj^e 
people  is  very  rapid,  and  demonstrates  the  energy  and 
happy  influence  of  those  principles  which  b(^iu  to 
prevail  among  them. 

Mr.  Johnson  writes — 

I  have  cleared,  with  the  boys,  about  twenty  acres  of  land, 
which  are  planted  with  Cassadas,  Yams,  Coco,  Plantains,  Ba« 
nanas,  and  Cofiee.  I  hope  we  shall  soon  be  able  to  support, 
in  good  part  at  least,  the  Boys  and  Girls,  with  our  own  producer 

In  the  statement  res{>ectingthe  Public  Works  already 

? noted,  the  report  of  the  improvements  at  Regents 
*own  is  so  honourable  to  the  influence  of  relmoB 
that  it  cannot  foil  of  being  heard  with  the  higbeat 
pleasure : — 

At  Regent's  Town,  formerly  called  Hog  Brook,  from  die 
mnltitode  of  wild  hogs  frequenting  the  beautiful  stream  fhat 
flows  through  it,  the  Young  Men  settled  there  have  fiiratshed 
an  example  which  will  Ions  be  admired,  and  not  easily  be  sor- 
psaaed.  They  have  broo^t  a  Boad,  by  a  new  line,  avoidioc

extending  tbe  course,  as  far  as  Leicestpr  Mountain,  ubence  it  is 
io  be  continued  toward  Free  Town.  This  road  is  two  rods  wide 
dirooghout,  and  solid  and  level  to  a  degree  not  easily  attainable 
in  a  country  like  this..  Several  vast  rocks  which  impeded  its 
coorse  were  split  and  broken,  bv  means  of  fire,  aided  by  the 
affusion  of  cold  water  when  in  tne  ardent  state;  the  adjacent 
forest  furnishing  abundance  of  wood  fur  these  operaiioa^. 

The  Comroittee  understand  that  this  successfni 
method  of  blowing  up  tbe  rocks  vas  suggested  to 
Mr.  Johnson  by  tbe  effect  of  a  violent  tornado,  which 
,006  day  extinguished  a  large  fire  that  had  been  kitidled 
OB  a  rock,  and  left  the  rock  so  split  in  many  places  that 
tbe  workmen  found  its  removal  greatly  facilitated. 

Of  the  rapidity  with  which  this  work  was  executed 
it  is  said — 

The  combination  of  Mr.  Johnson's  skill  and  ability  with  the 
bodily  strength  and  hearty  zeal  of  his  people  produced  such 
rapidity  of  execution,  that  the  task  was  completed  in  con- 
siaerably  less  than  one  month,  although  tbe  extent  is  full  two 
miles. 

The  Committee  cannot  withhold  the  following  ho- 
nourable testimony,  added  in  the  same  Report: — 

Let  it  be  considered,  that  not  more  than  three  or  four  years 
have  passed,  since  the  greater  part  of  Mr.  Johnson's  population 
were  taken  out  of  the  holds  of  Slave  Ships :  and  who  can  com- 
pare their  present  condition  with  that  from  which  they  were 
rescued,  without  seeing  manHest  cause  to  exclaim  —  "The 
hand  of  Heaven   is  in  this!"     Who  can  contrast  the  sim- 

t^ie  and  sincere  Christian  Worship  which  precedes  and  fol- 
ows  their  daily  labours,  with  the  grovelling  and  malignant 
aoperstitions  of  their  oriainal  state,  their  grecgrees,  their  red- 
water,  their  witchcraft,  and  their  devils'  houses — without  feeling 
and  acknowledging  a  niiracle  of  good,  which  the  immediate  in- 
terposition of  the  Almighty  alone  could  have  wrought?  And 
what  greater  blessing  could  man  or  nation  desire  or  enjoy, 
than  to  have  been  made  the  instruments  of  conferring  such 
sublime  benefits  on  the  most  abject  of  tbe  human  race  i 

If  any  other  circumstance  could  be  reouired  to  prove  tbe 
immediate  interposition  of  die  Almighty,  we  have  only  to  look 
al  the  pliiin  men  and  thnple  means  employed  in  bringing  abMi 


VEST  AFUICA  MISSION.  89 

the  iniraculoitt  conTersion  that  we  buTe  recorded.  Does  it  EOt 
recall  to  mind  the  first  diffasion  of  the  Gospel  bj  the  Apostles 
tbetnselves  i  These  thoughts  will  occar  to  strangers^  at  remote 
distance,  when  they  bear  these  things ;  and  roust  thejr  not  oc- 
cur mnch  tnore  forcibly  to  ns  who  ha^e  these  things  constantlj 
before  our  eyes  ? 

The  First  Anniversary  of  the  Missionary  Associa- 
tion of  Regent's  Town  was  held  on  the  7th  of  Decem- 
ber. Beside  Mr.  Collier  and  various  Missionaries, 
the  Meeting  was  attended  by  a  great  number  of  ttie 
inhabitants  of  Regent's  and  Gloucester  Towns. 

Some  remarks  of  several  of  the  Natives,  will  mani- 
fest the  blessed  influence  of  that  Gospel  on  them- 
selves which  they  are  anxious  to  send  to  others: — 

l^fae  whole  of  the  proceedings  on  this  occanion  were 
highly  interesting.  The  Addresses  of  the  Europeans 
were  well  suited  to  inform  and  encourage  the  people. 
The  Committee  will  quote  some  of  the  remarks  made 
by  Natives,  which  cannot  be  heard  without  thank- 
folness. 

Mr.  Macaulay  Wilson,  who  is  son  of  the  old  Bullom 
'Ring  and  will  probably  succeed  his  Father,  now  acts 
iu  a  medical  capacity.  On  being  appointed  Treasurer 
of  tlie  Association,  he  expressed  his  willingness  to  un- 
dertake the  duties  of  the  office*  as  he  had  himself  beet) 
greatly  blessed  by  means  of  the  labour  of  Missiona- 
ries. He  had,  indeed^  been  favoured,  from  the  early 
age  of  six  years,  with  the  Means  of  Grace;  having 
been  brought  by  Mr.  Macaalay,  then  Governor 
of  the  Colony,  from  the  Bullom  Shore,  and  in  his 
house  accustomed  to  daily  prayer;  yet  both  then, 
and  during  his  subsequent  visit  to  England  (from 
whence  he  was  driven  by  sickness,  before  he  had 
completed  bis  education)  he  remained  quite  ignorant 
of  the  nature  and  meaning  of  Prayer.  After  his'return, 
be  was  offered  a  situation  in  the  Slave  Trade,  which 

U£  WAS  PREVENTED  FROM  ENGAGING  IN'  BY  TU£ 
PBINCIPLES  WHICH  HE  HAD  LEARNED  FKOH  THE 
PEIEND8  WHO   HAD  TAKEN    HIM    TO    ENGLAND.      He 

at  this  time  attended  the  instroctioo  of  the  Weslevan 


90  NINETXKKTH    REPORT. 

Miaskmaries  at  Free  Town,  which  was  of  much  bene- 
fit to  him;  but,  afterwards  be  became  a  backslider, 
and  lived  in  the  practice  of  sin,  till  the  arrival  of  Mr. 
Johnson,  who  preached  a  Sermon  which  pricked  him  to 
the  heart,  and  he  had  been  mercifully  led  to  the  Saviour 
of  Sinners.  He  then  contrasted  the  blessings  of  liberty 
and  education  which  are  enjoyed  at  R^enfs  Town, 
with  the  slavery,  ignorance,  and  abounding  wicked- 
ness of  his  native  shore;  and  expressed  his  confidence 
of  the  success  of  the  Meeting,  as  where  the  heart  is 
open  the  purse  is  sure  to  be  opened  likewise. 

Mr.  Wilson  was  followed  by  one  of  the  Liberated 
Negroes. 

I  recollect  (he  said)  how  we  weot  on  at  first  coining  ia  sin 
and  wickedness^  and  did  not  know  what  was  told  us.  But  the 
Lord  sent  his  Missionary/who  brought  us  to  pray;  which  was 
ibr  our  good.  When  we  were  soid^  we  thougnt  we  should  die ; 
but  God  bad  mercy  upon  us.  If  we  have  two,  three,  or  four 
coppers,  we  must  give  them.  Suppose  a  man  be  blind,  and  go 
walk  in  the  fire,  we  must  stop  him.  Our  country  people  are 
the  same.  They  are  ignorant,  and  know  not  God :  so  we  must 
pray  for  them;  and  for  the  Society,  that  they  may  send  Mis- 
sionaries to  teach  them  the  right  way.  If  we  had  b^n  left  in 
our  Country,  we  should  have  been  ignorant  still ;  and  we  did 
not  come  by  our  own  strength,  but  by  the  will  of  God,  forGk>d 
led  us. 

Another  Liberated  N^ro  thus  followed  his  conn* 
tryman: — 

I  stand  not  in  my  own  strength,  but  come  to  serve  the  Living 
God.  When  man  or  woman  first  converted,  thev  think  they 
find  no  more  trouble.  I  have  trouble — but  Jesus  is  the  $ame^ 
yetUrdatff  and  to-day,  and  for  ever  !  Our  country  people  are  in 
darkness;  but  Jesus  knows  the  worst,  and  is  able  to  save  the 
worst:  so  all  must  pay  coppers  for  Missionary.  No  man  can 
do  good  by  his  own  strencth :  and,  suppose  we  ^ve  coppers,  it 
is  no  great  thing:  it  is  Jesus  who  must  send  Missionary  to 
preach.  , 

A  third  Native,  of  the  same  class,  added: 

I  have  great  reason  to  thank  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  for  his 


WEST  ATKIOA   MIKIOK.  ftl 

ipoodoest  and  owrcy,  when  I  think  of  what  sin  and  miieij  I 
waa  in.  My  &ther  die— my  mother  die— 4ind  I  had  nobody  to 
take  care  of  me.  Then  they  aell  me ;  but  it  pleaied  Ood  to 
bring  me  h«re.  At  firat  I  was  sick,  and  like  to  die ;  but  God 
had  mercy  on  me,  and  I  thank  him  fo^  his  long-saffering. 
Then  I  nsed  to  beat  the  dram,  and  talk  bad,  when  \be  moon 
shone ;  and  do  all  manner  of  evil,  and  did  not  know  what  was 
preaohed.  Afterwards,  I  hear  that  Jesns  Christ  came  to  die 
for  sinners— -I  feel  it ;  and  it  pleases  God  to  enable  me  to  hear 
it  now.  Bot  they  say  a  big  hole  is  God,  and  worship  it— 
thoogh  we  cannot  save  their  soals  from  Hell,  yet  we  can  give 
coppers  to  send  Missionaries,  as  there  is  no  wa^  to  be  saved 
bot  by  Jesns  Christ,  for  except  a  man  be  bom  ogam,  he  canmt 
see  the  kbigdom  of  God.  Stand  not  still,  and  say  '^  We  can  do 
nothing:  bnt  try  to  pray  and  send  Missionary.  Sap|K>se  yon 
go  to  jail,  yon  soon  come  out  again;  but  if  you  go  to  Hell, 
yon  never  come  out. 

The  Addreas  of  a  fourth  Liberated  Native  canaot 
be  read  withoat  aarprise  at  its  strength  and  cogency. 

I  thank  God  for  what  he  has  done  for  me.  When  I  was 
sold,  at  first  I  cried  much,  and  thought  they  would  eat  nie; 
bnt  I  knew  not  that  Jesus  Christ  had  put  me  in  the  good  way» 
as  be  says,  ImiU  lead  them  by  a  way  that  they  know  not,  and  by 
paiht  which  they  have  not  known.  We  ought  all  to  consider  how 
.few  live  here  now,  that  came  in  the  same  ship  with  us-^hardly 
half.  They  are  dead;  and  what  place  are  they  gone  to? 
When  I  first  came,  I  knew  nothing,  and  laughed  at  prayer; 
and  should  have  been  in  Hell,  if  God  had  had  not  spared  me, 
and  opened  my  eyes. 

Some  people  say,  '*  How  do  you  know  that  any  body  go  to 
Hell?  did  ever  anv  one  die  and  come  back?''  We  must  not 
trust  to  that.  We  do  not  see  every  thing.  We  do  not  tee 
God ;  but  we  see  the  sun  and  moon,  the  trees,  and  all  the 
other  things.  Did  ever  any  person  see  a  mountain  or  a  stone 
make  these  things? — then  we  know  that  God  made  them. 

Some  say,  ''Suppose  me  go  to  Hell,  me  soon  die  theror^ 
big  fire  soon  kill  me ;  then  me  no  feel."  But  God  says  yon 
no  die  in  Hell.  Suppose  you  put  stone  in  the  fire,  he  can't  be 
boml!  Mo— -file  can't  bom  him — he  always  live  there!  God 
says  the  wicked  have  hearts  of  stone,  and  fire  will  no  melt 
tliem. 

We  mast  believe  that  Jesos  shed  his  blood  for  sinners,  and 
pfqf for  Qor Conntrypeople.  If  we  cannot. speak  £ngliali, 
wt  maal  pray  in  oar  Coantry  tongue.    Jesns  can  hear,  for  he

knows  o«r  thooglitfl.  Suppose  we  work  not  for  (he  King,  mad 
bfive  but  little  moaey,  we  must  give  little.  When  we  go  to 
.Free  Town,  suppose  we  have  a  few  coppers,  we  want  not  more 
— <^we  BO  want  house  and  plenty  things  there^  because  we  no 
live  there ;  so  we  are  strangers  in  the  world,  and  should  tmst 
in  the  Lord,  and  be  easy  with  little,  that  we  may  spare  some 
K^  send  Missionary  to  our  Country  people. — Suppose  we  doo-t 
believe,  we  must  give  an  account  of  every  wora  we  hear,  and 
then  we  shall  have  nothing  to  say ;  but  it  we  belong  to  Jesus,

In  October  Mr.  Johnson  wrote — 

Old  and  young  are  hunc;eriug  and  thirstine  after  righteons- 
neis.  I  have  encountered  many  doubts  ana  fears,  on  account 
of  the  number  who  seem  to  be  concerned  for  their  souls  being 
so  great ;  but  I  am  more  happy  now,  as  a  change  has  evidently 
taken  place  in  their  conduct.

Jd  November  he  stated  to  the  Meeting  of  Miseiona^ 
riesat  Free  Town,  that  the  Communicants  and  Candi- 
dates had  increased  to  111,  and  many  more  were 
anxious  to  join  them.  The  Church  was  always  well 
attended;  and  the  people,  in  general,  were  become 
more  moral  and  industrious,  upward  of  600  main- 
taining themselves,  and  much  land  being  cleared 
and  cultivated. 

On  Christmas-day,  Mr.  Johnson  baptized  46  adults; 
and  on  the  next  occasion  of  celebrating  the  Lord's 
Supper,  he  had  the  happiness  of  administering  the 
Ordmance  to  120  of  his  Black  Brethren  and  Sisters. 

A  considerable  impression  appears  to  have  taketi 
place  among  the  younger  part  of  Mr.  Johnson's  peA-* 
pie.  They  have  been  observed  retiring  into  the  wo6dls 
for  prayer;  and,  bymdonlight,  the  moontaiins  have 
bete  heard  to  echo  wi(h  the  Hymns  of  little  gcpops

of  tbem  asMiDbled  in  difierent  places.  Mr.  Johnoon 
wrote,  on  this  subject,  under  date  of  Sept.  6th— 

After  Service,  I  was  told  by  one  of  my  lervantij  that  the 
School-Boys  wished  to  speak  to  me.  I  bade  them  come  in  ; 
wheo  one  J3oy  came  forward,  and  said  that  they  had  been  ia 
the  field  to  pray,  but  tbey  did  not  know  how  ;  but  they  had 
heard  that  Jesus  Christ  prayed  for  them  that  loved  Hiuf :  they 
wished  to  know  if  that  was  so.  I  then  spoke  to  them  oa  the 
office  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  as  our  High  Priest,  who  is  no/  a 
High  Prktt  mMch  cannot  be  trucked  wUk  the  feeling  of  our  hfir* 
mitics,  hut  ever  livcth  to  make  intercession  f:>r  us.  They  w^at 
away  with  joy. 

A  few  days  afterwards,  Mr.  Johnson  heard  a  boy 
praying  with  his  companions,  whose  words  deep^ 
impressed  him.     Mr.  Johnson  writes — 

His  whole  soul  seemed  to  be  engaged.  He  spoke  loud  and 
distinctly.  One  part  of  his  prayer  came  with  power  to  my 
heart — *'  O  Lord  Jesus  Christ!  we  been  so  long  on  the 
way  to  Hell,  and  we  no  been  know. — We  been  hear  your  good 
word  so  long,  and  we  no  been  consider. — O  learn  us  bow  to 
follow  you  now ! — We  live  nigh  Hell !  O  lAitd  Jesus,  save  us! 
Take  us  away  from  Hell  fire!  >Ve  wpnt  you  to  do  it  now  I  this 
night !  our  sins  too  much !  O !  Lord  Jesus,  saTc  us !  '*  I  was  s<i 
afiected  (says  Mr.  Johnson)  that  I  could  stay  no  longer.  My 
heart  was  full. 

Every  opportunity  is  taken  o{  affording  adequate 
imtructton  and  edification  to  these  Converts.  A  Meet- 
ing for  Prayer  is  held  every  Wednesday  Evening;  attd, 
on  Saturday  Evenings,  another  for  conference  and 
prayer  with  Communicants  and  Candidates  for  Bap* 
tism.  A  Meeting  is  also  held  on  the  first  Monday  in 
each  month,  to  pray  for  the  success  of  Missions 
throughout  the  v^orid,  and  in  particular  for  tlio^^e  of 
the  Society.  ''  The  simple  and  artless  accounts,"*  says 
Mr.  Johqson,  '*  which  the  untutored  Negroes  some- 
times give,  on  these  occasions,  of  the  workings  of  Di^

Various  discouraging  circumstances  occurred  among 
the  Negroes  collected  at  this  place,  which  disheartened 
Mr.  Gates;  hot  he  strengthened  himself  in  God.  On 
bis  temporary  removal  to  Leicester  Mountain*  they 
began  to  manifest  a  r^ard  to  him  which  encouraged 
better  hopes  respecting  them.  He  had  opened  an 
Bvening  School  for  Adults,  which  was  attended  by 
about  twenty-five  persons.  Public  Worship  was  not 
so  well  attended  as  at  other  towns. 

On  Mr.  Gates's  removal  to  Leicester  Mountain,  Mr. 
Decker,  as  has  been  stated,  was  appointed  to  this  Sta- 
tion. On  his  way  thither,  Mrs.  Decker  was  taken  in 
labour  at  Regent's  Town,  and  died  there  on  the  2lst 
of  June.    At  first  he  had  but  four  hearers,  but  they 

C dually  increased  to  a  considerable  number^  He 
\  a  School  for  Ghildren,  in  the  morning ;  and  for 
Adults,  in  the  evening.  By  the  Official  Return  of 
January,  the  number  appears  to  be  fifty-five.  He  has 
meetings  for  prayer,  several  times  in  the  week ;  and  on 
Saturday  Evenings,  a  meeting  for  religious  instruction 
and  edification,  which  had  been  attended  by  about 
fifty  Gongo  and  seventy  Gosso  People:  some  of  these 
promise  well.

the  Lutheran   Cburcb,    bis  N^roes  enjoy   the  be- 
D^t  of  the  Christian  Ordioances. 

Every  assistance  is  afforded  to  the  people  which 
their  untutored  state  requires,  so  far  as  Mr.  Diiriog's 
strength  will  allow.  Family  Worship  is  maintained* 
morning  and  evening.  Two  Public  Services  are  held 
on  Sundays,  and  the  Children  catechized  in  the  inter- 
val. Meetings  for  Christian  conference  and  edifica« 
tion  take  place  on  Saturday  and  Sunday  Evenings, 
which  have  been  attended  with  much  good.  By  Uie 
last  Official  Returns,  it  appears  that  202  Adults  and 
Children  were  receiving  education. 

On  the  2d  of  January  the  Schools  underwent  an 
Examination  before  the  Governor  and  other  Gentle- 
men, greatly  to  his  Excellency's  satisfaction,  who  te^ 
tified  his  pleasure  in  an  encouraging  Address  to  them. 

In  the  account  of  this  Examination,  printed  in  the 
Sierra  Leone  Gazette,  it  is  said — 

About  TWENTY-SIX  MoDtbs  pa^t,  the  Town  was  a  Foretl. 
Nearly  the  whole  of  its  present  African  Inhabitants  have,  since 
that  period^  been  rescued  from  the  holds  of  Slave  Vessels.  At 
the  Examination,  they  appeared  neatly  clad^  intelligent,  and 
well-behaved.  The  Examination  was  ended  by  the  singing  of 
a  Hymn.  The  whole  of  the  audience  then  joined  heartily  with 
the  Scholars,  male  and  female,  in  the  Grand  National  Invoca- 
tion of  "  God  save  the  King  !'• 

In  December,  1817,  five  Adults  were  baptized,  and 
three  in  the  month  following.  These  were  the  first- 
fruits  among  these  Negroes.  Qne  of  them  proved  in- 
sincere ;  but  of  the  rest  he  says,  ''  they  are  shining 
lights  among  a  wicked  and  perverse  generation.^  The 
people,  when  first  received  from  the  Slave  Ships,  are 
little  removed,  a  few  tribes  excepted,  from  the  very 
brutes,  in  habits  and  dispositions;  and  labours  among 
them  must  be  consequently  arduous  and  unwearied. 
He  writes,  however,  under  date  of  Oct.  27,  1818 — 

The  day  is  dawning,  and  Satan  sees  his  empire  receiving  one 
blpvkr  after  another.  My  people  begin  to  feel  themselves  men. 
The  eager  desire  for  insuoction  increases  every  day,  as  they

be^D  to  tee  its  benefits.  The  place  where  I  keep  Ditine  Wer- 
thip  is  far  too  small,  though  it  holds  more  than  £00  person^. 
This  iaconvenieoce  will,  however,  soon  be  remedied,  as  I  have 
begun  the  building  of  a  substantial  Stone  Church,  seventy-six 
feet  bj  forty-two^  which  when  finished  will  hold  above  800. 

A  Church  Missionary  Association  had  been  formed 
among  the  Negroes;  and  a  gradual  improvement  was 
observable  among  them. 

In  reference  to  the  sickness  which  had  prevailed, 
and  by  which  they  had  themselves  suffered^  Mr.  Diir- 
log  writes — 

This  year  has  been  marked  by  much  suffering  from  the 
climate;  and  particularly  by  the  mercies  of  the  Saviour,  in 
sweetening  the  bitter  waters  of  affliction. 

Mr.  Diiring  sketches  the  characters  of  a  few  of  his 
Christian  Negroes,  which  will  be  contemplated  with 
pleasure. 

Of  one  he  says — 

He  was  before  of  a  stubborn  and  stiff-necked  disposition, 
which  ran  through  all  his  actions;  and  was,  moreover,  very 
dieoeitful  and  indolent:  yet  it  may  be  justly  said  of  him,  that 
the  lion  has  been  turned  into  a  lamb,  and  his  idleness  int^ 
pious  industry. 

Of  a  second  he  writes — 

Vain,  foolish, and  proud,Jn  the  highest  degree,  he  commoaly 
went  by  the  name  of  Wild  Tom ;  but  since  his  principles  are 
changed,  he  is  noticed  by  every  individual  of  the  place,  as  an 
exai&ple  of  love  and  seriousness :  for  seriousness^  indeed,  of 
demeanour,  he  deserves  to  be  styled  a  shining  light. 

Of  a  married  couple,  Mr.  Diiring  testifies — 

Erom  their  long  residence  in  the  Colony,  they  had  learned 
to  imitate  many  moral  actions;  on  account  of  which,  they  were 
both  remarkably  self-sufficient;  but  are  now  happily  stripped 
of  that  onbeeomidg  garb,  and  adorn  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ 
at  man  and  wife,  panicularly  by  their  retired  manner  of  living.

100  NINteTEKNTH    REPORT. 


Cape  Shilling. 


This  is  a  station  very  receutly  formed,  about  forty 
miles  south  of  Free  Town,  ou  the  Sherbro'  Ri- 
ver. Mr.  William  Randle,  an  Englishman,  who  had 
been  employed  as  Master  Carpenter  at  Regent's  Town 
for  the  last  two  years,  offered  his  services  to  the  So- 
ciety as  a  Schoolmaster.  His  offer  has  been  accepted, 
under  the  best  hopes  of  his  becoming  a  useful  labourer. 
He  has  been  appointed  to  the  Station  at  Cape 
Shilling. 


SUSOO  AND  BULLOM  MISSIONS. 

The  suspension  of  the  Susoo  Mission  in  the  Rio 
Pongas  was  stated  in  the  last  Report.  That  part  of 
this  Mission  which  respected  the  Settlement  of  Gam- 
bier  was  still  ibaintained  at  the  date  of  the  last  ad- 
▼ices,  being  more  out  of  the  influence  of  the  Revived 
Slave  Trade:  but  as  there  is  little  reason  to  ex- 
pect much  from  it  while  that  traffic  is  allowed  to  exist, 
It  has  been  in  contemplation  to  remove  to  the  Isles  de- 
Lo6S^  which  are  now  under  the  British  Authority. 

The  Mission  among  the  Bulloms  has  also,  since  the 
last  Report,  been  suspended  ;  little  prospect  of  good 
remaining,  chiefly  from  the  fatal  influeuce  of  the 
same  evil. 

fint  the  Susoos  and  Bulloms  will  not,  therefore, 
be  abandoned  by  the  Society.  Its  labourers  retire 
under  British  Protection,  to  gather  strength  and  pre- 
pare the  means  for  a  renewal  of  their  toil,  whenever 
the  good  Providence  of  God  shall  open  the  way. 
The  measures  now  in  progress  within  the  Colony  will 
enable  the  Society  to  resume  its  labours  among  the 
Susoos  and  Bulloms,  on  a  more  extended  scale,  and 
with  the  advantages  resulting  from  mature  experieqce. 


W£ST   AFRICA    MISSION.  101 


Rio  Pongas  Settlements. 

It  may  be  useful,  on  this  occasion,  to  recapitulate 
the  chief  events  of  that  part  of  the  Susoo  Mission 
which  was  formed  in  the  Rio  Pongas.^ 

This  Mission  was  first  established,  in  the  Spring  of 
1808,  by  the  Missionaries  Renner,  Butscher,  and 
Prasse ;  preparations  having  been  previously  made  by 
Mr.  Butscher,  in  a  residence  there  of  a  few  months. 
Two  Settlements  were  formed,  in  1808,  on  the  Rio 
Pongas,  within  a  few  miles  of  each  other.  These 
were  Fantimania  and  Bashia.  Fantimania  was,  after 
a  few  years,  given  up;  and  Canoffee,  very  near  to  it, 
was  established.  In  1816,  Bashia  was  relinquished  ; 
and  Canoffee  alone  remained,  at  the  time  of  the  final 
suspension  of  the  Mission.  Several  valuable  lives 
were  sacrificed  in  the  service  of  this  Mission :  the 
Missionaries  Prasse  and  Barneth,  and  the  Lay  Set- 
tlers Quast,  Meyer,  and  Meisner,  with  the  first  Mra. 
Wenzel,  are  all  buried  at  or  near  these  Settlements. 
The  Missionaries  Renner,  Butscher,  Prasse,  Barneth, 
Wenzel,  Wilhelm,  and  Klein  have  laboured  on  the 
Rio  Pongas.  In  1815,  the  Settlements  were  visited 
by  the  Assistant  Secretary,  on  which  occasion  the  re- 
linquishment of  Bashia  was  determined  on,  various 
indications  of  bitter  hostility  against  that  Settlement 
having  been  manifested.  The  Slave-Trade  had  ever 
been  the  great  obstacle  to  the  exertions  of  the  Socie- 
ty ;  but,  as  has  been  stated  at  large  in  the  Seventeenth 
Report,  the  country  was  just  beginning  to  open  to  the 
preaching  of  the  Gospel,  when  the  revival  of  that 
Trade  rendered  it  necessary  to  suspend,  for  the  pre- 
sent, all  exertions  in  that  River. 

The  Natives,  were,  indeed,  at  last  unwilling  to

of  their  parents ;  and  sixty,  as  before^  stated,  accom-

Gambicr. 

Q(  that  branch  of  the  Susoo  Mission  which  yet  re- 
luaios,  at  Gambier,  opposite  to  the  Isles  de  Loss,  a , 
\k\^f  account  will  now  be  given. 

.Mr.  Klein,  as  mentioned  in  the  last -Report,  had 
mage  excursions  into  the  country.  These  journeys 
vr^  made  in  Aprils  May,  and  June,  of  1817.  la 
oq?  to  the  north-east,  he  preached  in  seventeen  native 
tb^s;  and,  in  another  to  the  south- v^est,  iu  six.* 
In  these  journeys  he  publicly  addressed,  in  the  whole, 
about /^ 600  persons ;  and  conversed  with  many  others, 
where  the  people  could  not  be  collected.  He  was 
every  where  well  received ;  and  learned  afterward, 
that  wherever  he  had  been,  the  people  had  expressed 
a  fear  of  the  wrath  of  God  on  account  of  their  sins, 
apd  had  agreed  to  keep  the  Lord's  Day  holy. 

Such  journeys  could  not,  however,  be  repeated  un- 
less Mr.  Klein  could  be  relieved,  in  a  considerable 
degree,  from  the  charge  of  the  School ;  especially  as 
the  elder  children  were  beginning  to  itianifest,  a  dis- 
position to  great  insubordination.  Wishing  also  to 
be  left  more  at  liberty  for  prosecuting  the  Trans- 
lation of  the    Scriptures^    Mr.   Klein  engaged,    in

November  1817,  as  Schoolmaster,  James  Briintoo, 
a  Native,  nearly  related  to  some  of  the  Chiefs 
and  educated  partly  in  England,  and  partly 
by  the  Missionary  of  that  name.  In  December, 
James  Brunton  was  married  to  Julia,  one  of  the  elder 
ffirls,  mentioned  in  former  Reports.  Her  bebaTioar, 
in  her  new  relation,  was  very  becoming. 

The  Children  improved  under  Jamea  Brnnton; 
who  was  assisted  by  Emanuel  Anthony,  the  Usher: 
but,  toward  the  close  of  last  year,  the  behaviour  of 
some  of  the  elder  children  occasioned  their  dismis- 
sion from  tbe  Settlement.  The  inflnence  of  country- 
fashions,  both  from  the  examples  and  enticements  of 
the  Natives,  proves  a  great  bane  to  the  elder  children. 
Day  Schools  have  not  the  advantage  of  withdrawing 
the  Children  from  the  influence  of  their  parents,  while 
under  education ;  but  they  may  be  undertaken  here- 
after on  a  scale  far  wider  than  Schools  on  the  plan  of 
maintenance:  and  it  is  to  the  extensive  diffusion  of 
Christian.  Light  that  we  must  look,  under  the  blessing 
of  God,  for  the  subversion  of  the  errors  and  viceiJ 
which  abound  on  these  shores. 

Mr.  Klein  had  entered,  in  the  Spring  of  last  year, 
on  another  journey  among  the  Natives ;  but  was  re- 
called, and  prevented  from  resuming  it,  by  informar 
tion  that  the  Settlement  was  to  be  immediately  reiia- 
quished.  Though  this  intelligence  proved  to  be  pre- 
mature, ,it  18  probable  ^hat,  by  this  time,  arrange- 
ments may  have  been  made  for  re-establishing  it  on 
one  of  the  Isles  de  Loss.    The  recent  transfer*  of 

^  By  a  Proclamation  of  the  Governor,  dated  July  14,  1818,  and 
printed  in  the  Sierra  Leone  Gazette,  it  is  announced  that  pctsesnon 
had  been  taken  of  the  Isles  de  Loss^  consisting  of  JPoclor^,  Craafori^ 
Tamara^  White^  and  Coral  Islands ;  those  Islands  having,  from  time 
immemorial,  been  occupied  by  British  Subjects;  and  having  bcien 
ceded,  on  the  6th  of  that  month,  by  Monge  Demba,  King  of  thf) 
Bago  Country,  and  all  his  Chieftains,  on  valuable  and  luf&ciBnt  coM^ 
derations,  specified  in  the  Treaty. 

An  Official  Notice  is  given,  in  the  same  Gazette,  that,  for  the  «w

mentft  of  land  will  be  made  to  such  persons,  duly  qualified,  at  o^y

those  Islands  to  the  British  may  aflford,  as  Governor 
Mac  Carthy  has  suggested,  superior  advantages  for 
communicating  religious  instruction  to  the  Natives 
at  large,  as  well  as  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the 
Missionaries.  The  visits  of  Bookmen  to  Mr.  Klein 
had  become  less  frequent,  than  when  his  residence 
among  them  was  a  novelty,  and  every  one  hoped  for 
a  present:  he  had  latterly,  indeed,  been  much  an- 
noyed by  an  encroaching  and  importunate  spirit  of 
beggary  among  the  Natives.  Journeys  on  the  Conti- 
nent might,  moreover,  be  prosecuted  with  equal  ad- 
vantage from  the  Islands,  and  he  would  there  always 
have  now  a  secure  home  under  British  Protection. 

On  this  subject  the  Coilimittee  will  quote  a  pas- 
sage from  a  Letter  of  Mrs.  Klein  to  her  uncle,  their 
venerable  friend  the  Rev.  Thomas  Scott.  She  thus 
writes,  under  date  of  July  9,  1818 — 

* 

I  now  sit  down  to  acquaint  you  with  some  events  which 
have  taken  place  here,  that  inspire  me  with  hopes  thatl^rovi* 
dence  is  preparing  the  way  for  establishing  the  Kingdom  of 
our  Lord  in  these  dreary  regions.  That  beautiFul  little  island 
(Crawford's)  on  which  we  once  lived,  and  on  which  we  wished 
to  establish  the  Gambier  Settlement,  with  sanguine  hopes  that 
from  it  this  part  of  Africa  would  become  enlightened  with  the 
beams  of  divide  truth,  is  now,  to  my  great  surprise  and  joy, 
in  the  hands  of  the  English  Government !  We  were  driven 
thence  by  persecution  ;  but  I  never  turned  my  eyes  toward  it 
without  regret.  Within  these  two  days.  His  Gf^cellency, 
Governor  Mac  Carthy,  has  induced  Mong6  Demba  to  deliTcr 
it  up  to  him.  f  rejoice  in  the  prospect  which  this  event 
opens  of  establishing  the  Susoo  Mission,  and  of  promoting 
the  knowledge  of  tne  Susoo  Language.  It  appears  to  me 
that  much  may  now  be  done,  and  with  mucli  less  expense 
thun  formerly;  and  I  rejoice  that  otkl^XSovernment  is  now  in 
possession  of  a  place  more  healthy  than  Sierra  Leone. 

Should  we  return  to  the  island,  we  shall  have  a  verv  pleas- 
ing prospect  of  usefulness,  both  among  our  own  people,  and 
among  the  Natives  who  will  frequent  the  island  for  trade. 
Probably  the  other  Islands  will  come  under  our  own  Govern* 

widi  to  form  Commercial  or  Agricultural  £stablishnients  at  those 
Islands.

ment*     If  so^  I   hope   some  pioos  and   devoted    Clergyman 
will  give  himself  to  this  work.    A  man  of  retired  and  stodions 
turn  would   enjoy   the  situation ;  and  he  might  be  far  more 
extensively  useful  than  in  almost  any  situation  io   England. 
I  have  long  earnestly  desired  to  see  some  elderly  Clergyman 
devote  his  last  days  to  our  African   Mission.     Is  there  not 
some  one  who,  by  one  means  or  other,  is  loosened   from  at- 
tachments to  family  and  country  ;  and  who  will  come  forward 
to  this  most  glorious  work  ?     For  though  we  have  as  yet  no 
success  in  this  part  of  the  Mission,  I  do  not  doubt  but  that, 
by  and   bye,    God   will  pour  out  his  Spirit  to  fructify  this 
barren  soil.     We  have  the  assurances  of  his  Word ;  and  we 
see  manifest  proofs  that  his  Providence  is  preparing   the  way 
for  making  his  cause  triumphant. 

The  Comiuittee  will  close  this  view  of  the  Susoo 
MissioD  by  some  remarks  of  Mrs.  Kleiu,  addressed  to 
the  Secretary,  under  date  of  December  28,  1818: — 

A  Gentleman  here  assures  me  that  when  he  lately  visited 
the  Cabby  Chief,  mentioned  by  Mr.  Klein,  he  found  that  he 
continued  to  observe  the  Sunday  as  a  day  of  rest.  He  is  ex- 
pecting another  visit  from  Mr.  Klein.  But  I  am  .doubtf|il 
whether  the  present  ferment  which  subsists  among  the  Na- 
tives respecting  the  giving-up  of  the  Isles  to  the  British  Go- 
vernment, will  allow  him  to  travel  this  dry  season.  A  great 
Palaver  between  Mong^  Demba,  and  the  Susoos  is  now 
talking,  near  Wonkapong.  We  hope  that  they  will  not  be  so 
infatuated  as  to  attempt  to  recover  the  Isles,  or  to  make  war 
with  Monje  Demba  for  having  given  them  up. 

This  event  opens  a  new  ancTinteresting  scene  before  us.  It 
appears  to  me  that  the  Society's  plans  will,  in  future,,  be  car- 
ried on  more  successfully,  bv  bringing  the  Gambier  Settlement 
under  our  Government  at  the  Isles,  than  by  continuing  it  in 
its  present  situation. 

I  have  now  passed  seven  years  among  the  Natives  of  this 
country ;  and  have,  I  trust,  ever  kept  in  view  the  great  object 
of  raising  them  from  their  present  degraded  state.  I  have  en- 
deavoured, according  to  my  ability,  to  fit  those  committed 'to 
my  care  for  communicating  to  the  Children  that  are  yet  un- 
born the  blessed  Gospel  of  God  our  Saviour :  and  I  have  con- 
versed freely  and  fully  with  strangers,  and  with  all  around  me, 
on  the  ^reat  truths  of  Christianity ;  and,  though  our  prospects  • 
respectiiig  our  Scholars  be  discouraging,  yet  mv  hopes  are  high 
respecting  the  final  result  of  the  Society's  Plans.  What  has 
been  done,  is  a  seed  that  will  grow  up,  and  will  bring  forth

maeh  fruit;  so  that  even  here,  as  in  other  places,  he  tkat  soweih 
mad  he  that  reapeih  wilt  rejoice  together.  , 

The  Islands  will  also  not  be  a  less  favourable  sitda- 
tiou  for  perfecting  the  Translation  of  the  Scriptures 
into  Susoo.  Mr.  Klein  began  this  work  in  the  Autumn 
of  1817  ;  and  had  finished  the  Books  of  Samuel,  and 
entered  on  those  of  Kings,  by  the  close  of  1818.  He 
hopes  to  finish  the  whole  Sacred  Volume  in  about 
three  years  from  that  time ;  and  then  proposes  to  de- 
vote sufficient  time  and  labour  to  its  thorough  revision, 
as  his  heart  is  much'  set  on  the  completion  of  this 
work.  Mrs.Klein  renders  him  much  assistance  therein : 
ahe  has  collected  materials  for  a  Susoo-English  and 
Eoglish-Susoo  Dictionary.  Mr.  Klein  has  sent  home 
some  Catechisms  in  Susoo,  which  have  been  examined 
and  approved  by  competent  judges  of  the  language. 

Yongroo  Pomoh. 

This  Mission  among  the  BuUoms  was  first  formed, 
by  Mr.  Nylander,  in  the  close  of  the  year  1812.  He 
baa  sustained,  under  great  bodily  infirmities,  almost 
the  entire  labour  of  the  Mission;  for,  though  several 
European  Brethren  have  been  sent  out  to  assist  him, 
they  died  either  before  they  entered  on  their  work,  or 
almost  immediately  afterwards. 

Mr.  Nylander^s  first  efibrts  were  directed  to  the  ac- 
qoisition  of  the  language.  In  this  he  succeeded :  his 
translations  are  monuments  of  his  diligence.  With 
these  labours,  he  connected  the  instruction  of  Chil- 
()ren:  finding,  as  his  Brethren  in  the  Rio  Pongas 
found,  that  there  was  little  hope  of  benefiting  the 
Adults  while  under  that  depraving  influence  which  con- 
tinues to  be  the  bane  of  Africa ;  though  he  did  not 
fail,  as  opportunities  offered,  of  proclaiming  to  the 
Bulloms  the  words  of  Everlasting  Life. 

It  has  been  observed  at  Yongroo,  as  in  other  Settle- 
ments, that  the  Native  Children,  after  being  maintain- 
ed,and  educated,  become  troublesome  from  the  diffi- 


WEST   AFBICA   MISSION.  1Q7 

culty  of  properly  disposing  of  them.  Yet  the  Schools 
aflforded»  for  some  lime,  the  only  satisfactory  gronnd 
for  the  continnanee  of  the  Mission.  ''  The  School 
alone,"  Mr.  Nylander  reported  in  May  of  last  year. 
^*  coataining  twenty-five  Boys,  now  gives  a  distant, 
aud  very  distant,  prospect  of  doing  good  in  the  Bullom 
Country.  There  is  good  hope  that,  in  one  or  two,  it 
has  pleased  God  to  b^in  a  good  work.  They,  with 
Stephen  Caulker,  may  yet  be  useful  to  their  country- 
men.'' In-  reference  to  this,  Mr.  Nylander  shews  the 
anxiety  of  his  mind  in  breathing  out  a  fervent  prayer — 
**  Oh  that  the  name  of  Jesus  may  be  gIori6ed  by  the 
canvereiou  of  one  BuUom !  ^ 

Id  his  attempt  to  preach  the  Word  of  Salvatioq 
among  the  BuIIoms,  Mr.  Nylander  found  them  willing 
to  bear  in' occasional  visits  made  to  them;  but,  when 
often  repeated,  they  became  tired,  and  even  asked 
payment  for  attending.  In  Yongroo,  the  Natives  had 
agreed  to  build  a  house  for  Pivjne  Worship,  which 
was  opened  in  November  1817.  He  had  first  publicly 
preached,  in  Bullom,  in  January  of  that  year :  he  had 
D^ily  Worship  and  Divine  Service  twice  on  a  Sunday. 
The  attendance  was  very  inconsiderable;  the  King 
came  regularly,  and  was  sometimes  the  only  Adult 
Native  present. 

In  February  1817  Mr.  Nylander  travelled  among 
the  Natives,  for  the  purpose  of  making  known  the 
glad  tidings  of  salvation*^  la  December  of  that  year, 
and  in  March  of  last  year,  he  renewed  these  Journeys, 
and  was  every  where  received  in  the  most  friendly 
manner.  The  people  uuderstood  and  praised  his 
Bullom  speaking  and  reading;  but,  sunk  in  supersti- 
tious ignorance,  they  put  litUe  value  on  the  instruction 
which  he  ofiered  to  them  and  their  children.  ''  The 
sound  of  the  drum,*"  Mr.  Nylander  writes,  ''  a  jug  of 
palm-wine,  and  a  few  leaves  of  tobacco,  are  of  more 
value  in  their  esteem  than  Christian  Instructioo.''t

108  NINETEENTH    REPORT. 

But  the  fatal  obstacle  to  all  usefulness  was  the  Sfalre 
Trade.  On  the  revival  of  that  Traffic,  dealers  from 
the  Rio  Nunez  came  to  purchase  Slaves.  Red-water 
Trials  became  frequent,  in  consequence,  in  order  to 
procure  victims  for  sale;  and  few  of  the  accused 
escaped.  While  the  Bulloms  could  sell  Slaves  and 
^et  rum,  preaching  of  the  Gospel  had  no  sort  of  influ- 
ence upon  them.  Complaint  was  brought  against  him, 
at  a  Public  Palaver,  that  he  spoile<l  the  country  Ky 
not  briujaring  rum.  They  said,  •'  He  only  sit  down  to 
teach  Children  and  talk  God-palaver:  that  good;  but 
suppose  he  bring  good  trade,  that  better." 

Though  this  Mission  has  been  suspended)  the 
translations  already  executed  will  be  of  lasting  benefit. 
The  Four  Gospels  and  other  parts  oi  the  New  Testa- 
ment have  been  finished,  and  the  Gospel  of  St.  Mat- 
thew revised  and  greatly  improved.  The  Morning  and 
Evening  Services  of  the  Liturgy,  with  some  other 
parts,  have  been  translated  and  revised,  and  Tracts 
and  Hymns  prepared. 

The  Mission  may  be  hereafter  resumed,  on  the  plan 
of  frequent  excursions  for  preaching;  and  the  esta- 
blishment of  Day  Schools  throughout  the  country,  as 
it  may  please  God  to  bless  the  endeavour  to  prepare 
proper  Teachers,  and  to  incline  the  Natives  to  receive 
them.  Mr.  Nylander  calculates  that  the  state  of  the 
population  is  such,  that  about  1000  persons  may  be 
visited  in  the  course  of  three  or  four  days.  Such  visits 
it  will  be  an  important  object  to  enter  on  and  main- 
tain from  the  Colony. 

ST.    MARY'S,    in   the   GAMBIA. 

Governor  Mac  Carthy  has  called  the  attention  of 
the  Committee  to  the  Settlement  formed  on  the  Island 
of  St.  Mary,  at  the  mouth  of  the  Gambia.  On  the 
restoration  of  Senegal  and  Goree  to  the  French,  a 
considerable  number  of  British  settled  at  this  place. 

In  April  of  last  year  Governor  Mac  Carthy  spent 
some  time  at  the  Settlement;  on  which  occasion  his 
Excellency  framed  salutarj  regulations  for  its  govern- 


WEST   AFRICA    MISSION.  100 

ment,   and  visited  the  neighbouring  Chiefs  in  order  to 
bind  them  more  strongly  to  its  interests  and  to  (hose 
of  humanity.     His  great  object  in  this  Settlement  is 
the  introduction  of  the  Gum  Trade  into  the  Gambia, 
considering;  to  use  his  own  words,  addressed  to  the 
Merchants  of  St.  Mary  s,  **  the  extension  of  an  ho- 
nourable trade  in  Africa,  as  benefiting  a  considerable 
portion  of  the  human  race.     I  anticipate  with  dehght,** 
he  added,  **  the  period  when,  in  lieu   of  the  horrid 
traffic  in  human  life,  British  trade  and  industry  will 
spread,  and,  the  Christian  Religion  prevailing  over 
Africa,  the  inhabitants  of  this  vast  continent  will,  by 
their  emancipation  from  mental  and  physical  slavery, 
rank  among  civilized  nations.** 

Jo  the  beginning  of  the  present  year  the  inhabitants 
had  increased  to  about  800,  and  more  were  expected. 
Various  public  buildings  were  erecting.  The  Island 
is  low,  and  used  to  be  unhealthy;  but  the  wood  is 
clearing  away,  and  it  is  expected  to  be  as  healthy  as 
any  part  of  the  Western  Coast.  There  is,  at  present, 
no  Christian  Teacher.  The  Governor  of  the  l^ettle- 
ment  reads  the  Liturgy  every  Sunday,  in  the  Mess 
Room,  to  the  Soldiers  and  Europeans.  The  Natives 
are  all  Mahomedans.  The  main  land,  which  is  half  a 
mile  distant,  is  occupied  by  Mandingoes. 

The  Committee  will  take  the  earliest  measures  in 
their  power  to  send  Christian  Instructors  to  this  settle- 
ment; which  wiil  probably  hereafter  prove  an  impor- 
tant station,  for  beneficial  influence  on  this  part  of  the 
coast,  and  the  enlargement  of  the  African  Mission. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jesty  were  very  kindly  received  by  the 
Governor,on  their  way  to  SierraLeone.  Mr.  Jesty  speaks 
of  the  Settlement  as  rapidly  improving,  but  laments 
the  gross  darkness  which  envelopes  the  inhabitants  of 
the  Main.  There  is  an  earnest  desire  for  improvement, 
however,  in  some  of  the  Natives.  One  man  said  to 
him,  in  his  broken  English — **  Ah,  Massa,  you  white 
roan  much  sabby  [know  much].  You  read — you 
write.  Me  tree  children — de  poy  shall  learn  read: 
me  got  a  ship  and  house — me  give  a  tousand  dollars

ven,'* Mr.  Jesty  writes,  "  were  deposited  among  these 
poor  people.  Soon,  I  think,  the  whole  lump  would 
theti  be  leavened.** 


GOREE. 

Mr.  Hughes,  having  been  authorized  to  return  to 
this  c6untry,  arrived  at  Portsmouth,  with  his  wife  and 
two  children,  on  the  5th  of  June  of  the  last  year;  hav- 
ing left  the  Gambia  on  the  30th  of  March.  The  Com- 
mittee  have  received  the  most  satisfactory  tcisrtfmonie^ 
of  the  diligence  and  success  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hughes 
in  the  instruction  of  the  Native  Children  at  Goree ; 
and,  from  a  Narrative*  of  his  proceedings  whfle  in 
that  Island,  which  Mr.  Hughes  has  commuiricated, 
they  cannot  but  deeply  regret  the  stop  whicfh  unavoid- 
able circumstances  put  to  their  exertions. 


Before  the  Committee  rjuit  the  African  Mission, 
they  would  call  on  the  Society  to  unite  with  them  in 

grateful  acknowledgment  of  the  many  mercies  which 
ave  been  therein  mingled  with  its  severe  trials.  The 
blessing  of  God  on  the  labours  of  His  Servants,  of 
which  manifest  tokens  were  given  in  the  last  Report,f 
codtinues  still,  as  has  been  seen,  and  enlarges  the

MEDITERRANEAN  MISSION. 

It  was  Stated  in  the  last  Report,  that  the  health  of 
Mr.  Jowett  required  relaxation  from  his  labours,  and 
that  of  Mr.  Connor  a  temporary  removal  to  Naples. 
The  Committee  are  happy  to  give  a  favourable  report 
on  this  subject. 

Mr.  Connor  left  Malta  on  the  3d  of  March,  accom- 
panied by  a  friend,  Mr.  Eardley  Childers;  and,  after 
apemding  nearly  eight  months  in  the  Bay  of  Naples, 
relumed  on  the  30tb  of  October,  having  been  greatly 
benefited  by  that  genial  climate.  It  was  with  much 
reluctance  that  he  withdrew,  for  a  season,  from  active 
co-operation  with  Mr.  Jowett;  but  it  was  not  without 
advantage,  not  only  to  his  health,  but  to  his  mind. 
The  Members  will  sympathize  with  him  in  the  expres- 
sion of  his  feelings  while  at  Naples,  from  which  city 
he  writes,  under  date  of  Sept.  29,  1818 — 

"  What  a  highly  favoured  country  is  England ! " — is  an  ex- 
clamation that  has  often  escaped  my  lips  since  my  arrival  in 
Italy.  The  almost  universal  licentiousness  of  manners,  and 
the  disregard  of  the  Sabbath,  form  a  striking  contrast  with  the 
prevailing  morality  of  the  English,  and  their  reverence  for  the 
Snnday.  Never  did  the  Tabernacles  of  the  Lord  of  Hottt 
appear  so  amiable  to  me  as  now,  when  I  am  sundered  fron^ 
them.  I  feel  like  a  lonely  sojourner,  in  a  strange  land ;  ahr 
from  the  tents  of  Jacob  and  the  congregation  of  the  saints. 
If  I  had  but  one  Christian  Friend  as  my  associate  here,  what 
a  comfort  and  refreshment  would  it  have  proved  to  me! 
Nevertheless,  it  is  with  gratitude  that  I  can  declare,  that  the 
presence  of  my  God  and  Saviour  has  sanctified  my  solitude, 
and  that  I  have  spent  many  a  happy  hour  in  sacred  and  pro- 
fitable meditation. 


At  Naples,  Mr.  Connor  procured  a  translation  to 
be  made  from  English  into  Italian  of  a  series  of  Morn- 
ing and  Evening  Prayers  for  the  Week,  of  which 
1000  copies  were  printed  for  circulation. 

Mr.  Connor  did  not  arrive  at  Naples  tiH  the  middle 


112  NINETEENTH    REPORT. 

of  April,  having  been  delayed  in  Messina  for  a  month. 
After  staying  in  Naples  for  a  fortni^t,  he  removed, 
by  the  advice  of  his  Physician,  to  Fuzzuoli,  in  the 
vicinity.  There  he  resided  till  the  heats  commenced, 
in  the  banning  of  July;  and  then  moved  to  Sor- 
rento, on  the  south  side  of  the  Bay,  about  thirty  miles 
distant,  for  the  advantage  of  its  cooler  and  more  sa- 
lubrious air.  From  that  place  he  returned  to  Malta. 
His  time,  vi^hile  in  Italy,  had  been  divided  between 
the  necessary  exercise  and  his  Hebrevir  and  Arabic 
studies.  He  has  sent  home  many  observations  on  the 
state  and  morals  of  religion  in  the  parts  which  he 
visited,  that  forcibly  indicate  the  necessity  of  a  free 
circulation  of  the  Scriptures.  ^ 

During  Mr.  Connor  s  absence  in  Italy,  Mr.  Jowett 
visited  Smyrna  and  other  places,  with  a  view  chiefly 
to  promote  the  objects  of  the  Malta  Bible  Society. 
His  own  health  having  been  restored,  he  left  Malta, 
at  the  end  of  April.  In  the  course  of  the  voyage, 
he  visited  Smyrna,  Haivali,  Scio,  Athens,  Hydra, 
Milo,  and  Zante;  and  returned  to  Malta  on  the  4th  of 
July.  The  Report  which  he  made  of  this  voyage  to 
the  Malta  Bible  Society*  will  be  read  with  much  plea- 
sure. Many  further  particulars  are  sent  by  Mr. 
Jowett  to  the  Committee,  in  his  entire  Journal  f  of  the 
Voyage,  which,  with  other  extensive  communications 
from  him,  will  probably  furnish  materials  for  a  future 
separate  publication  respecting  the  Mediterranean 
Mission. 

Mr^  Jowett  found  his  Journey  greatly  facilitated  by 
his  being  able  to  converse  with  the  Greeks  in  their 
own  tongue. 

I  was  almost  always  (he  says)  in  their  company,  and  like  one 
of  themselves.  1  sat  hours  with  Greek  Bisnops,  telling  theih 
about  Great  Britain.  At  Smyrna,  at  Haivali^  at  Scio— such 
important  places !  they  never  saw  an  Englishman  do  so.  I 
believe  1  may  say  that  a  friendship  was  fairly  formed  between 
me  and  them.

MUnnBAANSAN  1II88ION.  US 

From  Mr.  Jowett^s  return  to  Malta  in  the  beginning 
of  July^  tin  he  set  sail  for  Egypt  on  the  9th  December, . 
he  was  occupied  in  his  usual  labours  at  Malta,  in  the 
promotion  or  the  various  objects  of  the  Missionary  and 
Bible  Societies.  His  Family  Prayers  and  Expositions  * 
were  regularly  nudntained. 

An  extract  of  a  Letter  of  August  the  8th  will  suffi- 
ciently testify  how  entirely  he  was  engaged  in  his 
labours. 

WcMk.ffrows  on  me  (he  writes)  in  such  a  manner,  that  C 
shall  droop,  unless  I  am  on  my  guard.  My  nerves  and  my 
stomach  have  already  said,  ^' Beware  T' aiui  ^he  hot  weather 
says,  "  Beware !"  and  friends  say  the  same.  But  to  what 
purpose  is  this  caution,  when  work  accumulates  and  goads 
me  on — and  such  work  too ! — work,  in  which  tlie  spirit  glows 
and  becomes  more  and  more  fervent,  even  while  the  body 
wanes.  However,  do  not  fear  for  me.  God  mercifully  carried 
me  over  one  indisposition,  and  gave  me  strength  for  a  very 
firuitful  journey  to  Asia  and  Greece,  although  my  Journals 
have  not  yet  told  you  a  quarter  of  that  fruit.  It  was  a  very 
dellghtfid  and  effective  toun 

Mr.  Jowett  had  soon  the  satisfaction  of  seeing  the 
Maltese  New  Testament  completed. 

It  was  a  memorable  day  (he  writes) — Sunday,  September 
the  6th,  1818,  when  Giuseppe  Cann61o  brought  me  the  last 

Eirtion  of  the  Apocalypse  translated ;  in  short,   the  Maltese 
ew  Testament  finished.    I  have  marked  it,  as  a  kind  of 
Festival  in  the  Year. 

Cann&Io  has  since  entered  on  the  Old  Testament ; 
and,  by  the  middle  of  February,  had  finished  Genesis 
and  half  Exodus,  with  a  third  of  the  Book  of  Psalms. 

On  the  1st  of  October,  the  Malta  Bible  Society  held 
its  First  Annual  Meeting.  The  Report  was  drawn  up 
in  Italian  and  English ;  and  has  been  printed  in  this 
country,  and  sent  back  to  Malta  for  circulation.  Africa 
is  stated  therein  as  a  main  object  of  the  Society's  care :

dering on  the  Mediterranean  the  Committee  deVote  a

with  Greece  and  Smyrna  is  stated,  and  the  Journey  of 
the  late  Rev.  Christopher  Burckhardt  detuled  from  his 
own  Letters^* 

The  mention  of  Mr.  Burckhardt  reminds  ^our  Com- 
mittee of  the  premature  loss  to  the  Missionary  and 
Bible  exertions  in  the  Mediterranean,  of  that  able  and 
active  labourer.  He  arrived  at  Malta,  from  Geneva, 
on  the  5th  of  January  of  liist  year.  His  object  was  to 
visit  Egypt,  Syria,  Asia  Minor,  and  Greece,  with  the 
view  of  promoting  the  circulation  of  the  Scriptures  i 
and  he  was  supported  therein  by  private  benevolence* 
After  receiving  assistance  at  Malta  in  the  arrangement 
of  his  plans,  he  left  that  Island  on  the  17th  of  January, 
and  reached  Alexandria  on  the  26th  ;  carrjdng  With  him.

Vice-Coiisul  at  Aleppo  writes  thAt  he  had  the  mehn- 
choly  task  of  burying  Mr.  Burckhardt^s  remains  on  the 
14th  of  August. 

The  Committee  have  thought  this  notice  due  to  the 
memory  of  a  man  whose  communications  to  the  So- 
ciety's representatives  gave  promise  of  most  effective 
assistance  in  its  plans  and  operations. 

On  Mr.  Connor's  return  to  Malta,  at  the  end  of 
October,  he  was  anxious  to  accompany  Mr.  Jowett  on 
his  intended  Journey  in  Egypt  and  Syria.  His  medical 
adviser,  however,  apprehending  that  pulmonary  in- 
flammation might  be  the  consequence  of  the  fatigues 
and  privations  inseparable  from  the  Journey,  he  bowed 
with  submission  to  this  further  trial  of  faith  and 
patience. 

On  mature  deliberation,  it  appeared  that  Constan* 
tinople  combined  the  greatest  number  of  advantages, 
with  reference  both  to  his  health  and  probable  usdtal- 
ness,  of  any  other  station  in  these  seas.  Mr.  Connor^ 
in  consequence,  left  Malta  for  Constantinople,  on  the 
18th  of  November ;  and  arrived  on  the  25th  of  January, 
after  a. tedious  passage  of  sixty-nine  days,  in  the  course 
of  which  they  touched  at  Candia,  at  Smyrna,  and  at 
Scio.  Mr.  Connor  distributed  copies  of  the  Modem 
Greek  Testament,  where  he  thought  them  likely  to  be 
useful.  He  was  received,  at  Constantinople,  with  much 
kindness,  by  his  coimtrymen ;  the  British  Ambassador, 
the  Consul,  and  other  uentlemen  affording  him  every 
assistance  and  information. 

The  considerations,  with  respect  to  Constantinople 
itself,  which  render  it  eligible  as  a  station,  have  been 
communicated  by  Mr.  Connor : — 

Its  central  situation  (he  observes),  its  extensive  commerce, 
the  great  influx  of  Foreign  Merchants  and  Travellers,  and 
the  &cility  of  communication  with  the  North  of  Europe,  the 
shores  of  the  Black  and  Caspian  Seas,  and  the  most  interesting 
countries  of  the  Mediterranean,  contribute  to  render  Con- 
stantinople a  commanding  and  most  important  post  for 
observation  and  labour.  It  would  also  form  a  link  to  com- 
bine the  operations  of  the  Russian  and  Malta  Bible  Societies —

a  combinaticm  which  the  spiritual  interests  of  these  comitries 
renders  so  desirable  and  expedient  In  its  own  immense  and 
varied  population^  it  presents  an  ample  sphere  for  investigation 
and  labour.  Here  I  shall  have  the  opportunity  of  personally 
mifolding  any  plaiis,  which  it  may  be  thought  prudent  to 
suggest  tor  meliorating  the  state  of  the  Eastern  Churches^  to 
the  respective  Heads  of  these  Churches— of  cultivating  an 
intimacy  with  them — and  of  inviting  them  to  co-operate. 
Here,  too,  by  the  interest  of  the  British  Government,  I  can 
obtain  whatever  facilities  for  travelling  I  may  require — such  as 
EIrmAns  from  the  Sultan,  Passports  from  the  Ambassadors  and 
Envoys,  and  recommendations  to  Consuls. 

When  it  is  added  that  the  inhabitants  are  computed 
at  400,000,  of  whom  one-half  are  Turks,  one-fourth 
Greeks,  and  the  remaining  fourth  Jews,  Armenians, 
and  Franks,  it  will  be  felt  that  the  Station  is  important 
indeed.  The  Committee  cannot,  however,  but  enter- 
tain some  apprehension,  that  the  frequent  visitations 
of  the  Plague  may  lay  considerable  restraints  on  active 
exertions. 

A  few  days  after  Mr.  Connor's  departure  from 
Malta,  Mr.  Jowett  addressed  a  Letter  to  him,  con- 
taining such  views  as  occurred  to  him  respecting  his 
Station,  and  the  objects  to  be  pursued  there.  This 
Letter  will  throw  still  further  light  on  the  natvire  of 
Mr.  Connor's  situation  and  prospects.* 

An  excellent  opportunity  offering,  at  this  time,  for 
Alexandria,  Mr.  Jowett  determined  on  proceeding  to 
Egypt.  Mr.  Barker,  British  Consul  at  Aleppo,  who 
was  at  Malta  when  Mr.  Jowett  returned  from  Smyrna, 
had  directed  his  views  to  the  Northern  Provinces  of 
Asia  Minor,-!*  as  opening  a  more  promising  field  for 
Christian  Investigation  and  Labour  than  Syria  and 
Egypt.  Mr.  Jowett  had  thoughts  of  pursuing  this 
track :  but  Mr.  Connor  s  subsequent  choice  of  Con- 
stantinople brin^g  that  country  more  immediately 
within  his  sphere  of  enquiry,  and  Mr.  Burckharat 
having   opened  his  way  in  Egypt  and   Syria,  while

iFsrious  circumstances  combined  to  render  impoitmt  a 
visit  to  EgTPt  in  particular,  Mr.  Jowett  determined  to 
enter  on  his  long-projected  voyage  to  that  quarter. 
His  design  was  to  give  two  months  to  Egypt,  and  two  to 
Syria,  spending  the  time  of  the  Passover  at  Jerusalem ; 
and,  from  Sjoia,  proceeding  northward  to  join  Mr. 
Connor  at  Smyrna :  but  the  execution  of  this  design 
would  depend  on  circumstances. 

On  the  9th  of  December  Mr.  Jowett  left  Malta,  and 
arrived  at  Alexandria  on  the  19th.  Mr.  Lee,  thcBritidi 
Consul,  invited  him  to  occupy  a  room  in  the  Consulate. 
Not  less  than  fifteen  or  sixteen  English  Gentlemen  had 
gone  into  Upper  Egypt,  on  their  travels.  Mr.  Jowett 
ui^ed  that  sets  of  aU  the  West  Afi*ican  Publications  of 
the  Society  should  be  sent,  as  they  would  prove  appro- 
priate and  highly  usefiil  presents  to  various  African 
Consuls.  "  Slaves,**  he  observes,  "  come  to  Cairo  from 
as  fiur  distant  as  Tombuctoo ;  and  Tombuctoo  is  much 
nearer  to  Sierra  Leone  than  it  is  to  Cairo.**  He  v^ 
tended  to  leave  Alexandria  for  Cairo,  by  the  way  of 
Rosetta,  on  the  18th  of  January. 

Mr.  Jowett  has  noticed,  with  much  pain,  the  increase 
of  a  great  evil,  in  the  apostacy  of  Englishmen  from 
the  Faith  of  their  Fathers.  Sailors,  in  particular, 
from  their  vagrant  and  thoughtless  state  of  mind,  are 
much  exposed  to  seduction.  Sir  Charles  Penrose,  late 
Admiral  in  the  Mediterranean,  was  deeply  sensible  of 
the  evil ;  and  it  cannot  but  be  hoped  tliat  measures 
will  be  taken  to  arrest  its  progress.* 

The  formation  of  a  Printing  Establishment  in  the 
Mediterranean  is  now  become  an  object  of  the  first 
importance.  The  Mission  has  been  gradually  led  on 
to  a  state  in  which  its  plans  and  operations  begin  to 
require  such  an  Establisnment.-f-  It  is  the  intention  of 
the  Committee,  therefore,  to  make  arrangements,  with 
all  convement  dispatch,  for  printing  works    in  the

guages  of  the  surrounding  shores.  Such  an  fista- 
blishment  will  also  greatly  facilitate  the  operations  of 
the  Malta  Bible  Society ;  and  of  other  similar  Insti- 
tutions^ which  may  be  hereafter  formed  in  the  Medi- 
terranean. It  will  be  a  measure^  also,  of  economy : 
as  Translators  and  Correctors  of  the  Press  may  be 
assembled  in  Malta,  or  elsewhere  in  the  Mediterrane^ 
as  may  appear  most  convenient,  at  a  less  expence  than 
fliey  can  be  procured  in  England ;  and  it  may  be 
addied  that  materials  and  labour  are  cheaper. 

A  Monthly  Publication  has  been  projected  by  Mr. 
Jowett:  to  be  entered  on  in  French,  Italian,  and 
Romaic ;  and,  afterwards,  to  be  extended,  as  oppor- 
tunities may  offer,  to  the  other  languages  of  the 
Mediterranean.  The  state  and  progress  of  Religion 
in  the  various  parts  of  the  world,  with  the  proceedings 
of  the  Missionary  and  Bible  Institutions,  would  imme- 
diately interest  many  thousand  readers,  in  Italy,  in 
the  Ionian  Islands,  in  the  Seminaries  of  Greece,  and 
ia  many  other  qusurters.* 

Dr.  Naudi  is  proceeding  in  the  compilation  of  Tracts, 
in  the  Italian  Language.  Of  the  Tract  on  the  Holy 
Scriptures,  mentioned  in  the  last  Report,  1000  copies 
have  been  printed  in  this  country,  and  are  distributing  in 
various  quarters  of  the  Mediterranean  with  good  eftect, 
aa  they  have  induced  many  persons  to  read  the  Holy 
Scriptures.  A  Second  Tract,  mentioned  also  in  the  last 
Report,  on  the  nature  of  the  True  Church  of  Christ, 
is  now  printing,  and  will  soon  be  forwarded  for  circu- 
lation.-|*  A  Third  Tract  is  in  preparation,  and  will 
treat  on  the  most  important  Doctrines  and  Truths  of 
Christianity. 

In  these  and  other  ways,  and  ultimately  in  the  pre- 
paration of  the  Scriptures,  a  Printing  Establishment 
would  find  ample  and  beneficial  employment.  Mr. 
Jowett  strongly  expressed  his  conviction  of  the  im-

With  reference  to  Malta  itself,  the  Committee  have 
heard  with  satisfaction  that  the  reading  of  the  Scrip- 
tures increases,  and  they  doubt  not  but  that  this  in- 
crease will  be  rapid  when  the  Scriptures  in  their  own 
tongue  shall  be  put  into  the  hands  of  the  Natives. 
Mrs.  Jowett  has  continued  with  success  her  exertions 
among  the  Female  Children.  A  zeal  to  promote  Edu- 
cation is  kindling  in  Malta ;  and  it  cannot  be  doubted 
hut  that  the  introduction  of  Education  into  the  Medi- 
terranean will  be  greatly  facilitated,  by  the  labours  of 
Mr.  Joseph  Naudi^  brother  of  Dr.  Naudi,  who  has 
lately  returned  home,  ^  after  acquiring,  in  this  country, 
at  the  expence  of  the  British  and  Foreign  School  So- 
ciei^,  a  knowledge  of  the  British  System. 

'Die  Mediterranean  Mission  may,  indeed,  be  con- 
sidered, as  Mr.  Jowett  justly  states,  as  directed  ulti- 
matelv  to  hundreds  of  millions  of  the  human  raee. 
^e  reelings,  therefore,  toward  Malta  in  particular^ 
will  bear  but  a  small  proportion  to  those  awakened  by 
a  contemplation  of  the  surrounding  shores  ;  yet  every 
effort  and  tendency  toward  good,  both  in  respect  ot 
Education  and  attention  to  the  Word  of  God,  must  be 
witnessed  with  sincere  joy. 

The  importance  of  a  Mission  in  these  Seas  is  well 
illustrated  by  Mr.  Jowett's  view  of  the  extent  of  their 
shores : — 

Rxamintng  (he  says)  a  Chart  of  the  MediterraneaB^  I  was 
struck  with  observinf^  tbim  if  the  line  of  the  vniTQundiiig 


190  NINKTBENm  BBPOBT. 

shores  '(mdudiiig  the  Black  Sea)  ,were  spun  out  in^  lengthy 
it  would  encircle  half  the  Globe — 18i)  degrees.  And  these 
shores  communicate  with  solid  continent :  scarcely  any  part 
of  them  is  at  a  greater  distance  than  three  weeks'  sail. 

In  this  wide  circle  the  prospect  is  opening  on  all 
sides ;  and  many  are  the  intimations  that  the  efforts 
of  Christians  to  revive  and  extend  the  Faith  in  those 
quarters,  will  not  be  in  vain. 

The  probability  erf  an  increase  of  the  number  of 
Bible  Societies  has  been  intimated.  At  Smyrna,  in 
the  Ionian  Islands,  and  in  other  quarters,  this  mav  be 
expected  in  due  time.  Mr.  Jowett*s  visits  will  have 
paved  the  way :  Mr.  Williamson  is  exerting  himself 
within  his  circle :  the  Joumies  of  the  lamented  Mr. 
Burckhardt  have  made  better  known  the  nature  and 
benefits  of  these  Institutions  :  Mr.  Connor's  residence 
at  Constantinople  will  probably  enable  him  to  render 
eflEective  assistance  herein:  the  Malta  Bible  Society 
w^  be  a  stimulus  and  a  model  to  others :  and  the 
intended  visit  of  Dr.  Foikerton  to  the  Mediterranesan 
cannot  &il  to  consolidate  and  mature  the  plans  which 
may  have  been  formed. 

The  revival  of  the  Greek  Church,  in  its  primitive 
purity  and  vigour,  should  be  an  object  of  tne  affec- 
tionate exertions  and  earnest  prayers  of  all  who  wish 
the  extension  of  Christianity  in  these  regions.  En- 
ligfatened  and  animated  by  the  free  and  ample  circula- 
tion among  them  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  the  Greeks — 
nmnerous,  widely  scattered,  with  a  cultivated  language, 
and  maintaining  a  ready  intercourse  among  themselves 
and  with  others — ^will  act  most  powerfully  and  bene- 
ficiall;^  on  the  large  masses  of  people  among  whom 
they  uve.  The  publication  of  the  Scriptures,  now  in 
progress,  in  a  Version  which  shall  be  generally  ac- 
cei^ble  to  them,  will  prepare  them  for  this  service. 
Already,  among  them  and  others,  little  circles  are 
forming  for  the  purpose  of  reading  the  Word  of  God, 
and  prayer  for  I£s  teaching  and  grace ;  and  these  little 
circles  will  draw  do]Bm  the  Divine  Blessings^  and  be- 
come centres  of  growing  influence. 


In  another  branch  of  the  Christian  Church  on  these 
shores  light  is  springing  up.  The  visit  to  this  country 
of  the  Most  Reverend  Gr^fory  Peter  Giarve,  Syrian 
Archbishop  of  Jerusalem,  with  the  view  of  procuring 
the  means  of  communicating  Christian  l6iowledge 
among  a  numerous  people  over  whom  he  has  influence, 
is  an  occurrence  of  an  unusual  nature,  and  indicative 
of  the  progress  of  light  and  truth  among  the  nations. 

The  Archbishop  attended  a  Special  Meeting  of  the 
Committee,  and  communicated  very  freely  his  mo- 
tives for  visiting  this  country,  and  the  prospect  of 
benefiting  a  miUion  of  people  by  enabling  him  to  form, 
at  bis  residence  on  Mount  Lebanon,  an  Establishment 
for  printing,  in  Carshun,  or  the  Arabic  Language  in 
Syriac  Characters,  the  Holy  Scriptures,  Bocd^s  of  Kety, 
and  works  of  Education.  The  Conmiittee  assured  the 
Archbishop,  that  they  would  very  gladly  xender  every 
practicable  aid  that  might  be  consistent  with  the  prin- 
dplea  and  regulations  of  the  Society,  to  the  Christian 
Eaucation  of  the  youth  under  his  influence,  and  to  the 
diflFusion  of  Christian  Knowledge  throughout  his  Dio- 
cese and  the  neighbouring  quarters ;  but  that  an  Esta- 
blishment of  the  nature  of  that  in  question  could  not, 
with  propriety,  be  formed  at  the  charge  of  the  Society 
unless  it  were  placed  exclusively  under  its  controul : 
yet,  deenung  the  opening  of  such  a  channel  for  the 
dif^sion  of  Christian  Knowledge  among  the  multitudes 
who  would  be  benefited  thereby  an  object  highly 
deserving  of  support,  they  recommended  the  formation 
of  a  Special  Fund  for  that  purpose  among  benevolent 
individuals. 

The  Committee  have  pleasure  in  reporting  that 
such  a  Fund  has  been  successfully  established,  and  has 
been  placed  under  the  direction  of  a  Committee  formed 
with  the  view  to  superintend  its  application,  and  to 
render  such  future  aid  to  Syria  as  may  be  in  their 
power.*

Among  the  Turks  tnemselyes^  and  other  Mahome- 
dtsDB,  various  indications  appear,  &vourable  to  the  hopes 
of  Ghristians  in  behalf  of  their  best  interests  and  happi*

them,  encourage  the  expectation  that  they  will  be 
hfought  to  seek  that  TruUi  in  which  only  the  mind  of 
man  can  find  rest* 

The  power  of  Darime^s  (said  the  late  Rev.  Mr.  Burckharclt), 
l^tpe  to  the  prog^^ess  now  making  toward  the  greatest  pos-

durone.  But  discord  begins  to  make  herself  heard.  There  are 
already  Sadducees  among  the  Mahomedans.

ooimtry  in  larger  quantity  than  has  happened  perhaps  these

m  the  same  time,  some  enemies.  Let  it  be  remarked^  how^ 
ever^  in  what  class  these  enemies  have  been  found.  They 
are  the  Chieft,  either  of  different  Fanatical  Sects,  or  of  the 
Infidel  Party — a  fik^t  this,  which  may  serve  as  a  proof  of  the 
utility  of  the  Bible,  in  the  dispersion  of  which  nothing  of  an 
extravagant  nature  finds  any  advantage.  The  common  people 
of  aU  sorts  of  sects  have  received  the  Word  of  God  with  a  laud- 
able ^agem^ss,  and  would  be  v^ry  well  pleased  were  a  fiu: 
Un^  quantity  sent  them. 

^gvptj  in  particular,  offers  many  encouragements  to 
exertion.  Multitudes  of  its  inhabitants  are,  indeed, 
degraded  by  the  lowest  vices ;  but  a  free  course  seems  to 
be  opening  for  the  Scriptures  and  for  Christian  labours. 
T^  liberal  disposition  of  the  Bashaw,  the  great  con- 
coiurse  of  fbreigners,  and  the  constant  intercourse  now 
maintained  with  many  nations,  all  concur  to  invite

Members  to  the 


CALCUTTA  AND  NORTH  INDIA  MISSION. 

The  Calcutta  Corresponding  Committee  have  pub- 
lished their  First  Report  of  the  state  of  this  Mission. 

Under  the  heads  of  Schools^  Tracts^  and  Missionary 
Establishments,  the  Report  details  very  encouraging 
intelligence,  up  to  the  beginiung  of  May  of  last  yev^ 
Hie  Camimttee  will  give  an  abstract  of  this  document, 
and  will  add  such  information  as  has  been  subsequently 
received. 

Of  the  general  state  of  the  Mission,  the  Corres- 
ponding Committee  observe — 

Deeply  impressed  \idth  a  sense  of  the  support  which  they 
have  received  in  the  great  objects  for  which  they  are  asso- 
ciated, the  Calcutta  Committee  of  the  Church  Missionary 
Society  have  much  pleasure  in  reporting  the  progress  of  their 
labours,  during  the  period  which  has  elapsed  since  the  distri- 
bution of  their  Circular  Letter  hi  the  beginning  of  last  year. 
The  subjoined  List  of  Subscribers  aqd  Benefactors  will  bear 
testimony  to  the  success  with  which  that  appeal  was  made. 
The  List,  indeed,  is  small ;  for  it  was  judged  expedient  t)iat 
their  first  application  to  the  public  for  pecuniary  aid  should 
have  but  a  Umited  range ;  and  they  record,  with  high  satis- 
faction, that  in  no  one  instance  was  the  application  made 
in  vain. 

Having  then  announced  a  somewhat  enlarged  scale  of  Mis- 
sionary Operations,  and  described  tb?  littie  beginnings  whicb 
had  been  made  in  various  parts  of  the  countrv,  they  have  much 
pleasure  in  reporting^  that  the  result  of  their  plans  has,  in 
some  ii^tances^  gread j  e^sceed^  their  eacpec.tatlonBjt  and  tbai^

generattj  spetldng^  it  has  been  of  a  nature  to  stimiikte  and 
encourage  them  to  greater  exertions. 

In  stating  this  result,  the  Committee,  following  the  order 
adopted  in  their  Circular,  commence  with  an  account  of  their 
Schools. 

The  state  of  each  School  will  be  reported  tinder  the 
head  of  the  Station  with  which  it  is  connected ;  but 
there  are  some  general  remarks  in  the  Report  of  the 
Corresponding  Committee  on  the  principles  on  which 
the  Scnool  System  is  conducted  by  them,  to  which 
your  Conunittee  will  here  call  the  attention  of  the 
Members. 

Convinced  that  the  most  simple,  obvious,  unexceptionable, 
and  effectual  mode  of  promoting  Missionary  Objects  is  by  the 
establiriunent  of  Schools,  the  Commitree  have  directed  their 
particular  attention  to  this  important  branch  of  labour.  The 
Schools  supported  by  the  Society  have  greatly  increased  in 
number^  chiefly  through  the  judicious  and  zealous  exertions 
of  Lieutenant  Stewart  of  Burdwan.  The  whole  number  of 
children,  European  and  Native,  now  under  instruction  in  the 
Schools  of  the  Committee,  may  be  computed  at  nearly  1800. 

The  Committee  cannot  forbear  adverting  to  the  attention 
which  has  been  paid  in  all  their  School  undertakings  to  local 
ciRcuMiTANCBS.    They  have  ever  kept  in  view  the  importance 
of  varying  and  adapting  the  means  used,  to  the  varying  cir- 
cumstances of  the  inhabitants.    Tlie  servants  of  Christ  who 
would  raise  up  a  Church  among  an  idolatrous  people,  must 
never  lose  sight  of  their  Master's  injunction,  to  unite  the  wis- 
dom of  the  serpent  with  the  harmlessness  of  the  dove.    Sound 
policy  requires  us  to  proceed  with  caution ;  and  to  assail,  with 
a  delicate  and  tender  hand,  deeply-rooted  prejudices.     Our 
great  object  being  to  convince  those  who  are  in  error,  and  to 
tiim  them  by  the  persuasive  power  of  truth  from  doarkness  to 
light  and  from  the  power  of  Satan  unto  God,  it  is  folly  to  excite 
disgust,  by  an  open  and  direct  attack  upon  hereditary  super- 
stitions.   This  would  be  to  stir  up  strife  and  kindle  animo- 
sities, where  we  ought  to  soothe,  and  convince,' and  draw  with 
the  cords  of  love.    The  Gospel  of  Christ  requires  no  such 
esqiedients :  it  teaches  us  to  admit  the  light,  by  a  wise  system 
of  adaptation  to  the  strength  of  the  visued  organ;  and  to  com- 
municate instruction  as  men  may  be  able  to  bear  it. 

The  Committee  have,  on  these  grounds,  felt  the  necessity  of 
rq^ting  theur  Schools  by  the  character  of  those  whose  wd- 


CALCUITA  AMD  NOBTH  INDIA  MISSION.  1)5 

tare  ihey  would  promote.  ^While  the  ultimate  dhject  u 
every  Missiouary  Station  is  the  same.  Christian  Love  sug- 
gests a  variety  in  the  means  used.  Thus,  while  in  some 
places  all  the  combined  means  of  Christian  Schools  and 
Christian  Ordinances  are  admissible,  so  that  the  Missionary 
lAiall  have  fiill  scope  for  the  exercise  of  his  zeal  and  talents, 
in  others  the  efibrts  of  the  Missionary  must  be  limited  to 
the  management  of  Schools.  Again,  there  may  be  a  variety 
in  the  character  of  the  Schools  themselves:  at  some  Stations 
Schools  of  'a  strictly  Christian  complexion  may  be  established, 
in  whidi  the  Scriptures  shall  be  introduced,  and  a  complete 
course  of  Christian  Instruction  shall  be  adopted;  while  in 
other  places  it  may  not  be  wise,  for  a  season  at  least,  to  intro- 
duce the  Christian  Scriptures,  or  to  attempt  more  in  the  Schools 
than  the  elements  oi  reading  and  writing,  or  what  may  be 
called  a  course  of  moral  and  scientific'  instruction.  The  Mis- 
sionary who  superintends  a  number  of  Schools  on  this  limited 
plan,  cannot  be  accused  of  withholding  what  it  is  his  glory  to 
communicate,  but  should  be  considered  as  discreetly  adapting 
lumself  to  the  circumstances  in  which  he  is  placed;  and,  by 
patient  continuance  in  doing,  the  little  which  he  can,  he  may 
reasonably  look  forward  to  a  period  when,  by  the  Divine 
Blessing  on  his  labours,  his  Ministry  may  be  discharged  with 
entire  medom. 

In  conformity  to  these  principles,  a  variety  will  be  observed 
in  the  character  of  the  Schools  supported  by  the  Committee, 
adapted  to  the  varied  circumstances  of  the  inhabitants.  At 
every  Station  their  first  object  has  been  to  gather  together 
and  instruct  the  poor  scattered  ignorant  Christians,  whether 
Europeans  or  descendants  of  Europeans  by  Native  Parents : 
these  last  form  a  numerous  and  increasing  class  of  people; 
who,  in  their  earliest  years,  are  subject  to  peculiar  disad- 
vantages, and,  as  they  advance  to  maturity,  are  in  a  great 
measure  destitute  of  the  means  of  instruction,  no  adequate 
means  having  been  hitherto  supplied :  it  is,  therefore,  a  dictate 
at  once  of  duty  and  policy,  to  place  the  facilities  of  obtaining 
instruction  within  their  reach ;  and  a  system  which  has  for  its 
object  to  establish  Schools  for  their  benefit,  and  fiimish  quali- 
fied teachers,  must  be  considered,  by  reflecting  persons,  as  an 
important  supplement  to  our  establishment  of  regular  Chap- 
lains. Having  provided  their  destitute  Fellow  Christians  with 
tlic  means  of  religious  instruction,  their  next  endeavour  has 
been,  at  each  Station,  so  far  as  circumstances  admitted,  to 
embrace  the  Mahomedans  and  Heathens  around  them. 

The  character  of  their  Schools  varies,  therefore,  according 
tocircumstances.    Thus,  at  Chunar,  the  School  (SsttibltohiDent 


eonriiti  of  1^  Ah  Bngilsh  Free  Scbool.  2.  A  Persian  School. 
8.  A  Hindoottanee  School ;  in  the  two  former  of  wUch,  the 
Scriptures  find  Scripture  Catechisms  are  regularly  taught. 
Similar  to  this  is  their  Establishment  at  Agra,  and  other  pk^es. 
But,  at  Burdwan,  where  the  children  are  intirAy  HeaAenj 
the  Scriptures  do  not  form  a  part  of  the  stated  course  of 
htttractlcn.  Where  we  cannot  effect  what  we  would,  it  is 
the  part  of  prudence  io  attempt  what  we  can.  By  teaching  a 
imtge  body  of  children  to  reaa  and  write,  aflbrdii^f  them  the 
seatis  ef  obtaining  useful  knowledge,  and  f  raining  them  up  i^ 
luriblts  of  moral  reflection,  a  great  benefit  is  surely  conferred : 
A  good  foundation  is  laid  of  future  improvement ;  and,  if  these 
kutnble  labours  be  aecompanied  by  prayers  for  the  Divine 
BteflriAg^  the  Committee  cannot  doubt  that  they  may  prove 
eventudly  instrumental  of  the  highest  good. 

la  the  last-mentioned  Schools,  where  the  Scriptures  have 
not  been  admitted,  the  Committee  have  derived  considerable 
assistance  from  the  School-Book  Society  in  Calcutta.  That 
lisi^l  and  seasonable  Institution,  which  provides  Schools  with 
^plementary  Books,  either  gratuitously  or  at  a  low  price,  is  an 
Important  auxiliary  to  every  establishment  which  aims  at  the 
iiisctaination  of  usefbl  knowledge.  The  Schools  of  the  Church 
Mssionary  Society  have  derived  their  full  share  of  advantage, 
having  been  liberally  supplied  with  Spelling-books,  Bengalee 
IWilesy  Books  of  F^les,  &c.  whenever  ihey  have  found 
aeeaaion  to  i^ply  for  them. 

On  the  gubject  of  Tracts  the  Report  g^ves  the 
fSdIloWing  particulars: — 

In  addition  to  the  Books  which  have  been  obtained  firom 
Qither  quarters,  various  Tracts  of  their  own  have  been  published 
during  the  year.  The  following  have  issued  from  the  press, 
at  die  expense  of  the  Committee : 

1.  Selections  firom  the  '^  Beauties  of  History,''  translated 

SID  Bengalee  by  Lieut.  Stewart,  and  used  as  a  class-book  in 
e  higher  classes  of  the  Schools  at  Burdwan.  Hie  value  of 
this  litde  work  is  justly  appreciated  iti  Mr.  Robertson's  Report 
of  the  Schools. 

2.  A  small  ^'  Catechism,"  or  explanatkin  of  the  Ten  Com-

explanations  and  improvements,  in  Hindoostanee ;  one  of  the 
earliest  productions  of  the  Bev.  H.  Martyn,  which  has  been 
found  not  only  essentially  usefiil  to  the  adult  Native  Converts, 
but  adapted  to  general  instruction;  and,  by  its  easy  and 
&miliar  style,  peculiarly  suited  to  the  capacities  of  the  young 
and  ignorant. 

6.  ^<  Scripture  Dialogues,"  in  Bengalee,  by  Mi*.  EUertott  of 
Goamalty^  neair  Malda.  Six  of  these  interesting  Dialogues 
have  been  printed,  forming  as  many  disthict  Tracts.  They 
are  part  of  a  series,  which  when  eonipleted  will  embrace 
the  wh(^  Scripture  History,  from  the  Creation  to  the  fiirth 
of  Christ.  The  Sixth  Dialogue  reaches  down  to  the  destruc- 
tion of  Uie  cities  of  the  plain.  These  Dialogues  were  intended, 
bv  their  judicious  author,  to  convey  a  knowledge  of  Scripture 
FactSj  with  appropriate  Christian  Instruction,  in  idiomatieal 
language,  and  in  a  form  of  all  otiiers  the  most  captivating  ia 
a  Native.  The  great  interest  excited  by  these  littie  Tracts 
has  o<^asianed  a  demand  for  them  which  the  Committee  hav^ 
been  utteriy  unable  to  satisfy.  Th^  form  a  seasonable  ana 
highly  important  supply  in  aid  of  Missionary  Exertions ;  and 
the  warmest  thanks  ate  due  to  Mr.  Ellerton  from  the  Com- 
tnittee  and  the  Society  at  large,  for  his  zealous  and  abUi 
services  in  this  department.  It  is  tiie  fervent  prayer  of  the 
Committee,  that  he  may  not  only  Uve  to  see  the  compteHoil 
of  his  plan^  but  to  witness  also  me  beneficial  results  of  his 
labours,  in  the  difiusion  of  light  and  of  true  religion  amo^g 
the  benighted  Heathens  around  him. 

Of  the  above  Tracts,  the  impression  struck  off  has  usually 
amounted  to  1000  copies.  This,  however,  has  been  found 
inadequate  to  the  demand ;  and  additional  exertions  must  be 
made  in  meeting  the  wants  of  the  country :  so  that  to  furliiAf 
an  adequate  supply  of  these  i»eful  pubiicatbns  must  Soba 
become  a  very  heavy  undertaking,  requiring  all  the  dis- 
poseable  resources  of  the  Committee.  It  Ls,  mdeed,  a  growing 
burden,  to  which  there  are  no  limits  but  those  ^  the  funds 
themselves. 

Of  one  of  these  Traotoby  Mr.  Ellerton,  Mr.  Gorrie 
writes 

The  third  is  inexpressibly  well-suited  to  do  good  among  the 
Hindoos.  It  undermines  their  folse  notfons  witiiout  shockiii^

CALCUTTA. 

The  Rev.  William  Greenwood  has  left  Calcutta^  and 
proceeded  to  Chunar^  for  reasons  which  will  be  stated 
under  that  Station. 

The  Rev.  Deocar  Schmid  and  Mrs.  Schmid  have 
removed  fix)m  Madras  to  Calcutta.  Mr.  Schmid  was 
originally  destined  for  Calcutta,  but  was  left,  toge- 
ther with  his  brother,  Mr.  Bemhard  Schmid,  at  Madras, 
by  Mr.  Corrie,  as  stated  in  the  last  Report. 

One  chief  object  of  Mr.  Deocar  Schmid*s  retaoval  to 
Calcutta  is  the  superintendance  of  a  Periodical  Work, 
connected  with  the  plans  and  eicertions  of  the  Society. 
He  had  particularly  applied  his  attention  to  this  sub- 
ject; and  had  drawn  up  a  Prospectus  of  the  Work, 
wUch  induced  the  Calcutta  Corresponding  Committee 
to  invite  him  to  that  place,  that  they  might  mature  the 
plan.  The  Work  will  embrace  a  variety  of  subjects ; 
and  wiU  both  communicate  intelligence  of  all  tbe  most 
important  proceedings  in  India,  connected  with  reli- 
gion, and  will  aim  at  informing,  assisting,  and  stimu- 
lating all  those  in  India  who  may  be  interested  in  the 
improvement  of  the  Natives.  Communications  have 
been  promised  from  such  quarters  as  encourage  the 
hope,  that,  with  the  blessing  of  God,  a  Work  may  be 
eateblished  which  will  greatly  subserve  the  cause  of 
Truth  and  Happiness  in  India. 

A  Printing-j^ess,  with  tiie  latest  improvements,  has 
been  sent  to  Calcutta.  A  quantity  of  Printing-Paper 
has  also  been  forwarded,  and  Founts  of  Types  will 
speedily  follow. 

About  the  time  of  Mr.  Schmidts  arrival  at  Calcutta, 
a  vacancy  occurring  in  the  situation  of  Mistress  of  the 
Female  Orphan  Asylum,  Mrs.  Schmid  was  appointed 
to  that  office — a  charge  for  which  she  is  well  qualified, 
and  on  which  she  has  entered  with  the  earnest  hope  of 
becoming  a  blessing  to  the  poor  Orphans,  thirt|r-four 
of  whom  are  committed  to  her  care.  Mr.  ana  Mrs. 
Schmid  reside  at  tiie  Asylum^  in  the  suburbs  of  Cal- 


CALCUTTA  Atm  MOmn  fNDU  MISSION*  \   199 

cutta^  which  aflfords  Mr.  Schmid  an  opportunity  of 
pursuing  his  studies  without  interruption^  and  of  ready 
conference  with  the  Committee. 

Mr.  Greenwood  having  proceeded  to  Chunar^  and 
Mr.  Schmid  being  thus  nxed  at  the  Asylum,  the 
Society's  House  at  Garden  Reach  was  to  be  let  to 
some  respectable  occupant^  till  the  arrival  of  other 
Missionaries. 

Mr.  Corrie*s  establishment  at  Benares  was  noticed  in 
the  last  Report.  On  the  death  of  the  Chaplain  at 
Cawnpore,  Mr.  Corrie  was  appointed  to  that  Station ;  but, 
before  his  removal  thither,  he  was  summoned  to  Cal- 
cutta, as  Senior  Chaplain,  on  the  expected  departure 
for  England  of  the  then  Senior.  In  a  Letter  from 
Benares,  of  October  8,  1818,  he  writes — 

I  shall  feel  much  regret  at  leaving  this  scene  of  delightftil 
labour :  yet  our  friend  Thomason  is  so  fuU  of  employment, 
that  I  shall  hope  to  be  more  useful  in  Calcutta,  by  devoting  all 
my  leisure  time  to  correspondence  with  our  different  agents^ 
and  by  a  united  effort  to  render  the  whole  of  our  exertions 
more  efficient. 

The  Committee  greatly  regret  the  loss  of  Mr.  Corrie's 
personal  superintendence  and  aid  at  Benares;  more 
particularly,  as  will  be  seen  under  that  head,  as  unex- 
pected opportunities  for  exertion  are  opening  in  that 
immense  city :  but  they  anticipate  greater  advantages^ 
on  the  whole,  from  his  counsels  and  assistance  at  the 
head-quarters  of  the  Mission. 

Kidderpcre. 

With  reference  to  this  Station,  the  Corresponding 
Committee  state-^- 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Greenwood  continues  to  labour  alone  at  the 
Mission  House,  Garden  Reach.  His  attention  has  been  chie^ 
directed  to  the  superintendence  of  Native  Schools ;  twoof  whicn 
are  now  established,  and  promising  openings  have  appeared 
for  the  erection  of  others,  as  appears  from  the  following  short 
eirtract  of  a  Letter,  dated  4pifl29tb,  lately  received : 


VS6  mNBTRXNTH  RBPORT. 

I  am  btppy  to  my,  that  we  have  at  last  oommenced  tba  School  at 
Moodul  Dobapora.  The  number  of  boys  present  yesterday  amounted 
to  35,  and  I  think  we  shall  have  double  the  number  ere  long,  us  it  is 
only  about  a  week  since  they  commenced.  The  ignorance  of  these 
boyd  is  remarkable,  as  very  few  of  them  Indeed  know  the  Alphabet. 
The  Kidderpore  School  goes  on  much  as  usual.  The  inhabitants  of 
Boalah  and  Bustom  Gottah,  two  villages,  the  former  about  four  and 
the  latter  about  seven  miles  distant  from  the  Mission  House,  have 
Earnestly  begged  for  a  School  in  each  place,  t  have  visited  both  the 
villages,  and  they  appear  to  me  to  be  very  promising  places.  The 
mAf  objection  is  the  distance  of  the  latter. 

The  Corresponding  Committee  quote  the  passages 
of  a  Letter  of  Mr.  Greenwood,  of  November  5,  1817, 
which  were  printed  in  the  last  Report  of  the-  Society, 
"  as  contaimng  a  hopeful  view  of  the  progress  which 
lie  has  made  in  introducing  the  Gospels  to  his  Native 
Pupils  at  Kidderpore." 

Mr.  Greenwood  having  since  removed  to  Chunar, 
the  charge  of  the  Schools  has  been  committed  to 
Mr  Sandys,  son  of  Colonel  Sandys,  of  Cornwall,  who 
is  both  well  qualified  and  disposed  to  take  on  himself 
ihis  charge.  He  resides  at  Kidderpore,  in  the  midst  of 
the  Schools. 

Burdwan. 

In  the  last  Report  various  particulars  were  given  of 
tlie  successfiil  exertions  of  Lieutenant  Stewart  at  this 
place  and  in  the  vicinity. 

Of  these  exertions  the  Corresponding  Committer 
thus  speak : — 

Two  Schools  appeared  on  the  list,  as  under  the  super- 
intendence of  that  gentleman,  in  the  beginning  of  1817*  As 
the  good  effects  of  Mr.  Stewart's  labours  became  more  appa- 
rent, he  was  authorised  to  erect  New  Schools  in  the  vicinity ; 
and  the  Committee  report,  with  high  satisfaction,  that  the 
progress  of  the  Native  Children  who  have  been  thus  brought 
under  instruction,  has  been  of  the  most  pleasing  nature.  The 
tamnber  of  Schools  actually  built  is  Ten,  in  which  about  1000 
children  are  taught  the  Bengalee  Language,  by  the  new 
method  so  successfully  adopted  in  £im>pe,  with  judicious 
modifications  and  imuiovements  bv  Mr.  Stewart.    Each  of 


CALCUTTA   AND  NORTH   INDIA  MISSION.  131 

diese  Schools  li  maintained  at  a  monthly  charge  of  about  twenty- 
four  Rupees;  the  Committee  having  fully  concurred  with 
Mr.  Stewart  in  the  expediency  of  engaging  efficient  nativb 
teachers  at  a  good  peicb,  rather  than  endanger  the  success  of 
their  operations  by  employing  Incompetent  persons,  though  at 
an  expence  considerably  less.  The  Committee  consider  the 
Burdwan  Establishment  as  a  promising  commencement  of  a 
s^tem  of  education  in  the  district,  and  anticipate  the  best 
enects  from  the  gradual  extension  of  Schools  upon  the  same 
plan.  Mr.  Stewart  has  their  warmest  thanks  for  his  unre- 
mitted attention  to  this  work,  by  which  alone  the  Schools  have 
been  brought  into  that  high  state  of  efficiency,  which  now  Ah^ 
tinguishes  them. 

fai  order  that  a  correct  judgment  might  be  formed  of  the 
Burdwan  Schools,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Robertson,  a  member  of  the 
Committee,  obligingly  undertook  a  journey  into  that  district. 

The  Report  made  by  Mr.  Robertson  was  highly  satis* 
factory,  and  contained  a  fiill  and  encoura^n^  account 
of  Mr.  Stewart's  labours ;  while  it  developed,  in  an  able 
manner,  the  nature  of  the  Society's  School  operations.* 

To  the  following  remarks  of  Mr.  Robertson,  the  Com- 
mittee beg  to  call  partictdar  attention,  as  indicating  a 
rapid  diminution  of  those  prejudices  in  the  Natives, 
which  operated  most  fatally  against  their  improvement. 

There  is  no  difficulty  in  multiplying  Schools  to  any  extent, 
commensurate  with  our  abilities.  The  people  are  anxious  and 
earnest  in  calling  upon  us  to  send  them  teachers.  With  a 
little  patience,  we  may  introduce  into  those  Schools  any  Boote 
that  we  please.  In  them  the  Children  know  of  no  precedency, 
but  that  which  is  derived  from  merit. 

• 

The  Ten  Schools  above  mentioned  are  situated  at 

Burdwan,  Ryan,  Konshunnugur,  Komilpore,  Goitun- 

pore,  Lakooay,  Poura,  Gaonpore,  Mirzapore,  and  CoU- 

gong.    The  most  distant  of  these  villages  is  but  six 

miles  from  Burdwan ;  but  the  greater  number  are  only 

from  two  to  three  miles  distant.     Two  more  Schoow 

hsve  since  been  added.

132  KINSTEENTH  It£PORT. 

On  the  prospects  at  this  Station^  it  is  remarked  in 
the  Report — 

The  Committee  deeply  feel  the  importance  of  enlarging 
their  School^establishment  at  Burdwan^  as  much  as  their  funds 
will  enable  them.  They  consider  the  prospect  of  useful  labour 
ia  that  district  to  be  most  auspicious ;  and  confidently  expect 
the  happiest  results  from  measures  which  are  recommended^  at 
once,  by  the  wisdom  with  which  they  are  conducted,  and  the 
remarkable  success  with  which  they  have  been  attended.  The 
field  of  labour  is  immense.  If  from  thence,  as  a  centre,  Schools 
be  erected  in  the  populous  and  richly  cultivated  territory  all 
around,  it  is  difficult  to  conceive  of  .the  inestimable  benefits 
which  must  be  imparted,  when  such  an  extended  system  shall 
hare  had  time  to  operate. 

In  a  Letter  to  the  Secretary,  dated  July  21,  1818, 
Mr.  Thomason  writes — 

Mr.  Robertson's  report  is  abundantly  confirmed  by  all  who 
have  visited  the  Burdwan  Schools.  Here  then  is  a  very  im- 
important  station — a  nucleus,  uround  which  we  have  every 
reasonable  ground  to  hope  that  knowledge  will  accumulate 
.  and  extend  itself.  Though  Lieutenant  Stewart  docs  not  yet 
4)rmally  and  regularly  teach  the  Scriptures,  he  is  continually 
distributing  copies  of  the  Gospels  and  of  Religious  Tracts, 
which  are  eagerly  sought  after  by  the  young  people  when 
they  have  learned  to  read.  He  is  on  the  watch  for  every  occa- 
sion of  this  nature. 

Mr.  Thomason  adds,  under  date  of  September  24, 
1818— 

Lieutenant  Stewart  has  earnestly  requested  that  two  Mis- 
donaries  may  be  sent  to  him  at  Burdwan ;  and  I  have  promised 
to  forward  and  to  urge  his  request.  Pray  set  apart  two  Mis- 
sionaries for  the  work  there.  Mr.  Robertson's  Letter,  in  our 
Report,  will  have  completely  put  you  in  possession  of  our 
views  and  engagements  there.  It  is  an  important  Establish^ 
ment,  which  we  trust  will  prove  to  be  the  commencement  of 
great  good  in  that  quarter.  At  the  time  of  writing  this, 
Mr.  Stewart  is  busied  in  selecting  out  of  his  Twelve  Schools 
the  best  Scholars  for  prpmotion  to  a  Central  School,  where  the 
English  Language  will  be  taught;  and  we  are  looking  out  for 
a  suitable  superintendent  or  Schoolmaster. 


CALCUTTA  AND  NO^TH   INDIA  MISSION.  1S3 

Lieutenant  Stewart,  in  a  Letter  *  addressed  to  the 
Secretary,  dated  December  3,  1818,  in  which  he  gives 
an  encouraging  view  of  his  situation  and  labours^ 
earnestly  presses  compliance  with  this  request  for  two 
Missionaries.  With  reference  more  particularly  to  this 
call,  the  Rev.  Messrs.  Jetter  and  Deerr,  after  acquiring 
at  the  Central  School  the  knowledge  of  the  Nationid 
System,  proceededto  Calcutta,  in  order  to  be  appointed 
to  Burdwan  if  the  Corresponding  Committee  should 
find  the  wants  of  that  Station  at  that  time  the  moat 
pressing. 

Chunar. 

The  labours  of  Mr.  Bowley,  spoken  of  in  the  last 
Report,  have  been  continued  with  steadiness  and  zeal. 
Mr.  Corrie  visited  Chunar  in  February  and  March,  of 
last  year.  His  communications  ^  to  the  Corresponding 
Committee  were  highly  encouraging.  An  extract  or 
two  will  be  heard  with  pleasure.  ^ 

The  usual  number  of  Europeans  who  attend  Divine  Service 
regularly  is  about  forty,  and  that  of  Native  Christians  who 
attend  woi*ship  in  Hindoostanee  about  seventy  or  eighty.  The 
number  in  both  congregations  has  been  gradually  and  regu- 
larly increasing;  and  testifies,  of  itself,  to  the  diligence  and 
exemplary  conduct  of  Mr.  Bowley,  and  of  the  blessing  attend- 
ing his  labours.  The  state  of  the  people  impressed  me  deeply 
with  the  value  of  his  labours.  I  knew  the  degradation  of  both 
European  Invalids  and  their  Native  Wives  and  Families,  from 
three  years'  residence  among  them :  and  now,  to  behold  so 
many  of  them  adorning  by  their  lives  the  Doctrine  of  God  our 
Saviour,  was  to  me  most  gratifying;  and  will  be  considered  as 
an  ample  recompence  for  all  their  contributions,  by  the  sup- 
porters of  our  Society. 

I  conversed  with  Ten  Hindoos,  who  appear  to  be  fidly 
convinced  of  the  truth  of  Christianity,  though  not  yet  pre- 
pared to  encounter  the  consequences  of  an  open  profession. 
Some  of  them  even  join  Mr.  Bowley  occasionally  in  prayers. 
One  of  them,  on  being  asked  what  he  considered  the  great

was  delivered,  may  be  seen  in  the  Missionary  Register  f^t  the  present

peculiarity  of  dia  Christian  Religion,  answered  that,  in  every 
other  System  of  Religion,  Works  were  made  a  condition  of 
Justification :  but,  in  Christianity,  only  Faith  in  Christ  is 
required;  while,  wonderful  to  say,  it  produced  more  ex- 
emplary holiness  than  any  other  System. 

The  whole  congregation  almost  were  in  tears  during  a 
Sermon  in  which  Mr.  Bowley  set  before  them  the  Saviour's 
anffisrings ;  and,  during  the  Communion,  the  greater  number 
;  |i{qpeared  deeply  affected,  and  all  of  them  exceedingly  serious 
|md  attentive.  There  was  an  evident  blessing  vouchsafed  to 
us;  and,  in  my  own  case,  a  lively  sense  of  the  Divine  Presence, 
which  seemed  also  to  pei-vade  the  whole  Congregation.  Friday 
I  heard  thirty-two  Adult  Native  Christians  read,  who  have, 
within  these  few  months  most  of  them,  and  all  of  them  since 
Mr.  Bowley  came  to  Chutiar,  begun  to  learn ;  some  the  Persian, 
oMiers  the  Nagree  Characters :  and  some  of  them  now  read 
the  Scriptures  in  Hindoostanee  with  fluency ;  and  all  of  them 
expressed  much  delight  arising  from  their  new  attainments. 
Indeed  a  remarkable  tenderness  of  conscience  seems  to  distin- 
.  gulsh  most  of  them,  and  their  altered  and  exemplary  conduct 
is  the  talk  of  all. 

On  Mr.  Corrie's  communications  it  is  remarked  in 
Ae  Report — 

While  the  Committee  rejoiced  in  this  encouraging  report 
of  Mr.  Rowley's  labours,  they  entirely  concurred  with  Mr. 
Corrie,  in  the  expediency  of  erecting  a  new  Place  of  Worship 
with  all  practicable  expedition.  It  appeared  important  that 
every  facility  should  be  afforded  to  the  Ministry  of  the  Gospel, 
In  a  place  where  God  had  been  pleased  so  remarkably  to  own 
the  laboui^  of  his  servant. 

A  convenient  spot  of  ground  for  the  erection  of  a 
Chtircb,  having  been  fixed  on,  Mr.  Tumbull,  the  pro- 
prietor,  on  being  requested  to  dispose  of  it,  generously 
offered  it  as  a  ^ft  for  the  purpose  intended. 

The  Committee  observe — 

It  W9£  not  possible  to  hesitate  for  a  moment  in  following 
what  appeared  so  clear  and  animating  a  call  of  Divine  Provi- 
dence. The  Committee  have  therefore  requested  Mr.  Corrie, 
to  set  on  foot  a  subscription  to  the  proposed  new  building,  and 
haye  engaged  to  prcwnote  the  subscription  by  circulating  it

liberality  of  tlie  jpuWc$  perauded,  that  in  such  a  eaus^,  tht 
appeal  cannot  be  niade  in  vain. 

It  will  be  seen  firom  the  above  statement,  that  the  Missionary 
Prospects  at  Chunar  are  very  encouraging,  and  that  the  tinUer- 
ness  nas  already  begun  to  be  'glad,  and  the  desert  to  rejoice  and 
hhssom  as  the  rose.  Those  who  are  acquainted  with  the  state 
of  Chunar,  and  can  appreciate  the  condition  of  the  generality 
of  those  among  whom  Mr.  Bowley  labours,  will  unite  in  their 
thanksgivings  to  God  for  this  happy  opening.  He  despiseth 
not  the  day  of  smaU  things.  Not  by  might,  nor  by  power,  biti 
by  my  l^pmi,  saith  the  Lord.  May  an  abundant  measure  of 
his  Spirit  be  poured  out  upon  his  people,  and  the  Word  of 
God  have  firee  course  and  be  glorified  throughout  the  earth  I 

It  is  added,  in  a  Note — 

Since  this  Report  was  ordered  to  press,  intelligence  has 
been  received,  that  the  subscription  paper  has  been  actually 
put  into  circulation,  under  tlie  happiest  auspices,  the  Marquis 
of  Hastings  having  been  pleased  to  aid  the  collection  by  the 
very  liberal  donation  of  1000  Sicca  Rupees. 

In  Mr.  Thomason*s  Letter,  before  quoted,  of  July 
21,  .1818,  he  writes  on  this  subject — 

On  mature  consideration,  we  have  unanimously  judged  it 
expedient,  that  Mr.  Greenwood  should  fix  his  residence  at 
Chunar.  He  will  have  there  a  regular  Cure  of  Souls;  with 
the  charge  of  Native  and  Christian  Schools,  and  a  most 
valuable  co-adjutor  in  Mr.  Bowley— every  thing,  in  short, 
which  can  tend  to  animate  and  encourage  the  Missionary. 
Mr.  Bowley  will,  in  the  mean  time,  continue  his  usual  labours ; 
and,  when  Mr.  Greenwood  becomes  efiicient  as  a  Teacher  of 
Native  Christians,  will  be  disposeahle,  and  perhaps  go  to 
Buxar,  a  Station  farther  down  the  river,  where  Mr.  Corrle 
thinks,  on  many  accounts,  that  a  pious  labourer,  like  Mr. 
Bowley,  would  work  with  peculiar  advantage. 

Buxar  is  sixty  or  seventy  miles  down  the  River,  from 
Benares.  It  is  a  Station  of  Invalids.  Some  Native 
Christians  there  have  expressed  an  earnest  desire  of 
religious  instruction.  Mr.  Bowley  spent  a  week  among 
them,  and  was  recdved  with  much  attention.    He

tiie  Hea&en^  than  even  Chunar ;  one  or  two  Fairs 
being  held  there  annually,  which  are  resorted  to  by- 
multitudes  of  Natives  from  all  quarters. 

Under  date  of  July  31, 1818,  Mr.  Corrie  \vrites  from 
Benares — 

Mr.  Bowley*8  Journal*  will  tell  you  how  diligently  he  is 
labouring.  The  people  seem  to  give  him  more  of  their  con- 
fidence daily.  He  went,  this  week,  to  Shirzapore,  a  great 
mart,  about  twenty  miles  above  Chunar,  by  invitation  from 
•some  people  of  credit  who  incidentally  heard  him  in  the 
Market-Place  in  Chunar.  The  result  of  his  visit  I  have  not 
yet  heard. 

A  Brahmin  and  a  Moonshee  were  baptized  at  Chunar,  the 
beginning  of  this  month ;  and  others  are  coming  forward  to 
the  Sacred  Font. 

Benares. 

Mr.  Corrie's  appointment  to  the  Chaplaincy  at  this 
Station  was  noticed  in  the  last  Report.  The  Corre- 
sponding Committee  remark— 

Then*  attention  was  called  to  this  quarter  by  the  Rev.  Daniel 
Corrie,  the  Chaplain  of  the  Station ;  who,  with  his  charac- 
teristic zeal  for  the  advancement  of  religion,  had  no  sooner 
arrived  at  his  post,  than  he  projected  a  Missionary  Establish- 
ment in  the  vicinity  of  that  large  and  populous  city.  In  a 
Letter  addressed  to  the  Secretaiy,  he  thus  earnestly  applied 
for  the  Committee's  assistance : — 

« 
Three  Native  Battalions  are  usuaUy  cantoned  here  :  two  are  now 
at  the  Station.  I  have  been  taking  measures  for  the  establishment  of 
a  School^  for  the  younger  dnunmers  and  fifers,  and  for  the  Children 
of  Native  Christians  attached  to  these  corps.  I  have  already  twenty- 
four  names  of  children,  whose  parents  desire  that  they  should  become 
scholars  under  us.  We  also>  on  Sunday  the  8th  instant,  began  Hin- 
doostanee  Worship,  and  about  fifteen  of  the  above  class  attended. 
Por  the  School  I  have  met  with  a  small  bungalow,  conveniently 
situated,  offered  for  600  Rupees.  In  this  bun^ow  Mr.  Adlington 
could  also  reside  for  the  present.  I  beg,  therefore,  that  the  Com- 
mittee will  consider^  whether  they  can  adopt  this  bungalow  and

ptemifles  for  a  Miirioiiary  Residence ;  or  whether  they  would  wish 
Mr.  Adlingtoa  to  reside  altogether  in  Benares^  and  that  premises 
diould  be  procured  for  him  there  on  his  return  from  Agra.  Let  me 
repeat^  then,  that  at  this  .place,  there  are  immediate  calls  on  our 
Society  for  assistance  $  and  that,  not  merely  in  the  hope  of  probable 
benefit,  but  from  the  actual  wants  of  professed  Native  Christians  ; 
while  many  of  the  Natives,  Mahoraedan  and  Heathen,  are  awakened 
to  discern  the  importance  of  Christianity,  and  will  probably  be  en- 
couraged or  discouraged  by  the  readiness  or  otherwise  which  we 
manifest  in  meeting  these  wants  of  our  Christian  Brethren. 

Tlie  Committee  could  feel  no  hesitation  in  obeying  this  call. 
Mr.  Corrie  was  authorised  to  purchase  the  bungalow,  where 
a  School  has  already  been  opened,  which  is  in  part  supported 
by  monthly  Subscriptions  and  Benefactions  of  the  European 
Residents  at  the  Station.  At  this  Missionary  Station  are 
placed  Twelve  Christian  Hindoostanee  Boys,  who  are  going 
through  a  course  of  regular  education,  under  the  immediate 
care  and  superintendence  of  Mr.  Corrie.  It  is  proposed  that 
these,  as  they  grow  up,  be  settled,  according  to  their  re- 
spective abilities,  as  teachers  or  assistants  for  the  furtherance 
of  Missionary  Object**,  wherever  their  ser^'iccs  may  be  re- 
quired. 

The  School  is  under  the  general  superintendence  of  Mr. 
Adlington ;  who,  having  been  originally  brought  up  by  Mr. 
Corrie,  proceeded  with  that  gentleman  to  England,  and  after- 
ward accompanied  him  on  his  return  to  India. 

Since  the  Ptcport  of  the  Corresponding  Committee, 
a  new  prospect  of  useful  labour  has  opened  at  Benares, 
which  will  be  explained  by  the  following  extract  of  a 
Letter  from  Mr.  Corrie,  dated  Benares,  Feb.  25^  1818 : — 

I  have  been  to-day,  and  once  before,  with  Jay  Narain. 
He  proposes  giving  a  large  House  iii  the  city  for  a  School, 
and  endowing  it  with  200  rupees  per  month  (about  a^'SOO  per 
annum),  Mr.  Adlington  to  be  the  Teacher.  I  suggested  to  him 
to  let  us  have  the  house  on  Mr.  Adiington's  arrival  to  begin 
operations,  and  that  for  the  present  Mr.  A.  should  derive  his 
support  from  the  Church  Missionary  Society,  whilst  he  should 
jjay  for  Books  and  incidental  expenses.'  This  seemed  to 
delight  him.  I  proj)osed  that  he  sliould  make  the  Church 
Missionary  Society's  Committee  Trustees  of  his  endowment; 
reserving  the  approval  of  their  agent  to  himself,  who,  if 
approved  of  at  the  end  of  one  year,  should  be  confirmed  for 
life,  or  during  conformity  with  the  rides  of  the  endowment.

donary  to  be  at  liberty  to  receive  enquirers  after  truth,  in 
his  private  apartments,  after  School-hours.  How  £ar  this 
latter  part  of  my  proposal  will  be  acceded  to,  time  will  shew ; 
but  I  nope  we  shall,  by  his  means,  get  a  fair  opening  into 
ttds  vast  city. 

Tliis  liberal  Native  has  addressed  a  Letter  to  the 
Conmiittee,  which  the  Members  will  hear  with  the 
highest  pleasure.  His  name  has  been  long  known,  in 
ccmnexion  with  the  efforts  of  Christians  in  India.* 

*  As  the  character  and  views  of  so  great  a  Bene&etor  to  the  diffu- 
sion of  sound  knowledge  among  his  countrymen  cannot  but  be  in- 
teresting to  the  Society,  some  account  of  Jay  Narain  Ghossaui,  at  an 
«uiier  period,  when  his  mind  was  less  imder  the  influence  of  Christian 
Troths  is  here  extracted  from  Appendix  LVI  to  the  Seventh  Report 
of  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society. 

Mr.  Corrie,  then  stationed  at  Chunar,  in  a  Letter  to  the  late  Rev. 
David  Brown,  dated  May  1,  1810,  thus  introduces  Jay  Narain — 

'*  I  have  lent  the  Report  for  1809  to  some  of  my  neighbours  here  ^ 
among  others,  to  a  gentleman  who  has  exchanged  several  Letters 
with  a  Native  of  Benares,  who  applied  to  him  lately  for  information 
respecting  the  Christian  Religion.  This  Native  has  acquired  a  con- 
siderable fortune,  in  some  employment  under  our  Government,  in 
whidi  it  was  necessary  for  him  to  read  and  write  English.  On  being 
pressed  by  the  arguments  urged  for  the  supreme  importance  of  Chris- 
tianity, he  excused  himself  by  saying,  he  thought  if  it  were  so,  the 
BriUsh  Government  would  have  made  the  Christian  Religion  known 
to  their  subjects  in  this  land.  This  objection  he  urged  in  a  variety 
of  ways,  and  here  the  discussion  ended.  On  receiving  the  Report  for 
1800,  the  above  Gentleman  sent  it  to  his  Native  Friend  3  with  an 
intimation,  that,  if  he  chose  to  subscribe,  any  money  sent  to  me 
would  be  duly  remitted.  In  answer  to  this,  he  sent  an  Address  to  the 
Bible  Society,  written  by  himself,  and  now  in  my  possession,  re- 
questing it  might  be  corrected ;  which  was  done,  retaining  his  own 
expressions  as  much  as  possible.  A  foir  copy  of  this  he  signed,  and 
sent  in  a  cover  to  the  Bible  Committee,  London,  which  I  enclose.** 

The  Letter  to  which  Mr.  Corrie  refers  is  as  follows : —

To  the  ComiBittee  of  the  Church  Misrionary  Society. 

Honourable  Sirs —  Benares,  August  12,  1818. 

It  is  now  many  years  since  I  fell  very  ill:  and^  leaving 
Calcutta,  came  to  Benares }  where  I  used  every  possible  means 
known  to  Hindoos,  in  order  to  get  well.  Mr.  Jonathan 
Duncan,  who  was  at  that  time  Resident  of  Benares,  and  was 
my  particular  friend,  procured  for  me  the  assistance  of  several 
European  Surgeons,  who  were  not  able  either  to  afford  me 

relief. 

At  length,  a  Hindoo,  who  had  been  very  ill,  obtained  some 
Medicine  and  advice  from  a  merchant,  Mr.  Wheatly,  by  which 
he  obtained  a  cure.  On  this  I  also  sought  acquaintance  with 
Mr.  G.  Wheatly.  Mr.  W.  gave  me  a  New  Testament,  and  I 
bought  oif  him  a  Book  of  Common  Prayer.  He  often  passed 
much  time  with  me,  in  explaining  the  meaning  of  these 
hooks ;  and  wrote  many  Letters  to  me  also,  on  the  subject  of 
the  Christian  Religion.    In  respect  to  my  complaint,  he  recom- 


'^  About  twenty-eight  years  ago,  one  Ramsurumpal  set  up  a  new 
profession  in  Bengal,  and  drew  a  great  number  of  people  after  1|ini> 
by  miraculoosly  healing  the  sick  without  medicine  :  with  him  I  had 
many  secret  conversations  ;  and  he  told  me,  that  Jesus  Christy  or  the 
True  One,  came  out  from  the  True  God,  but  that  his  commands  have^ 
not  yet  been  obeyed  by  mankind,  and  especially  by  the  Hindoos  T 
therefore  he  (Ramsurumpal)  came  down  from  heaven  to  give  a  true 
explanation  to  the  Hindoo  and  all  other  nations. 

"  The  said  Ramsurumpal  gave  me  eighteen  orders  -,  and  told  me,  if 
I  obeyed  them,  I  should  get  well,  in  time,  from  a  bad  disorder,  which 
an  European  Doctor  had  not  been  able  to  cure.  He  advised  me  also 
to  give  live  hundred  rupees  toward  building  the  New  Church  in  Cal- 
cutta, which  1  did  3  and  he  told  me  that,  in  Europe,  and  in  this  coun- 
try, and  in  every  other  country,  a  proper  Committee  will  be  formed 
for  inculcating  the  worship  of  one  God,  and  instructing  men  not  to* do 
evil',  also  that  all  Governments  will  give  permission  to  promote  the 
cause  of  the  real  God,  and  of  his  own  Word.  I  understand  you  have 
now  established  a  Committee  in  Europe  5  and  1  hope  one  will  be 
established  in  our  country,  who  may  try  the  Books  of  the  Hindoos, 
and  put  them  in  a  right  way,  as  they  now  err  grievously  from  the 
ways  of  godliness  -,  and  almost  in  every  country  there  are  new  pro- 
fessions, as  Nanok,  Hubar,  &c.  in  our  own  country :  but  there  has 
been  no  proper  head  or  overseer  of  them. 

''  I  bc^  leave  to  send  100  Benares  Sicca  Rupees  for  the  Bible  Fund, 
which  I  hope  the  Committee  will  accept  for  the  public  use.  Any  in- 
formation the  Committee  may  require  about  Ramsurumpal,  or  about 
our  religion,  I  shidl  bo  happy  to  give  them.

mended  some  simple  medicines ;  but  advised,  above  all,  that 
I  should  apply  myself  to  God  in  prayer,  to  lead  my  itiind  into 
the  truth,  and  to  grant  me  bodily  healing.  I  complied  with 
his  advice,  and  obtained  a  perfect  cure. 

I  then'  asked  him  what  1  ought  to  do  for  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ.  He  advised  me,  that,  as  I  had  felt  the  benefit  of  the 
advice  which  he  had  given,  I  ought  to  con5?ult  the  benefit  of 
my  Countrj^men;  and,  with  this  view,  I  ought  to  found  a 
School  for  instruction  in  English,  Bengalee,  Persian,  and 
Hindee. 

In  compliance  with  his  advice,  I  set  aboujt  establishing  such 
a  School ;  and,  with  the  help  of  my  friends,  raised  a  fiind  to 
supply  200  Rupees  a  month  for  the  endowment  of  it.  After- 
wards, Mr.  Wheatly  himself,  having  failed  in  business,  became 
the  Schoolmaster.  His  method  was,  first  to  instruct  my  family 
in  Christianity,  and  pray  with  them,  and  then  to  teach  the 
English  Language  to  the  Scholars  who  attended.  He  con- 
tinually taught  me,  that,  from  joining  in  prayer,  and  reading 
the  Scripture  with  him,  no  loss  \>f  caste  was  involved ;  but 
piety  would  be  increased. 

^fter  a  short  time,  Mr.  Wheatly  died ;  and,  since  then,  I 
have  had  much  trouble  to  accomplish  my  wish  respecting  this 
School.  In  1814,  when  Lord  Moira  came  up  the  country,  I 
applied,  through  Mr.  John  Shakespear,  to  his  Lordship  for 
assistance  :  his  Lordship  approved  of  the  design,  and  left  the 
settlement  of  it  to  his  agent  at  Benares,  Mr.  Brook.  Mr. 
Brook  told  me  when  all  disputes  were  settled  respecting  the 
settlement  of  the  Estate  which  I  intended  to  endow  the  School 
with,  he  would  report  my  wishes  to  the  Governor-General. 
But,  till  now,  these  differences  have  not  been  adjusted,  and 
I  became  very  anxious  respecting  the  settlement  of  my  School. 
Several  Masters  whom  I  employed  proved  unsuitable,  and  the 
Children  who  came  to  School  received  no  profit. 

I  had  heard  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Corric,  through  Mr.  Wheatly; 
and,  through  him,  had  sent  a  Letter  to  the  British  and  Foreign 
Bible  Society,  with  a  small  subscription.  I  often  prayed  that 
he  might  come  to  Benares ;  and,  at  length,  he  came  to  reside 
at  this  place. 

From  the  information  commimicated  by  him  respecting  the 
Church  Missionary  Society,  and  from  a  perusal  of  oue  of  that 
Society's  Reports  which  he  gave  me,  I  determined  on  making 
the  Calcutta  Committee  of  the  Church  Missionai^  Society  the 
Tiiistees  of  my  School,  and  of  assigning  to  them  the  property 
which  I  had  appropriated  for  the  endowment  of  it.  Accord- 
ingly, I  have  requested  them  to  accept  the  charge;  and  legal 
measures  are  in  progress,  for  transferring  the  School  and  ^n- 


CAIiCUTTA  AND  NORTH  INDIA  MISSION.  141 

dowmcnt  pernumeiitly  into  their  hands.    In  the  mean  time, 
my  House  In  Bengalee  Tolah,  in  Benares^  which  cost  me  , 
48,000  Rupees  in  building,  has  been  appropriated  for  a  School^ 
and  Mr. Adlington  has  begim  togive  instruction  in  the  English 

Language. 

Thus  what  I  have  been  many  years  desiring,  begins  to  be 
accomplished:  but,  as  I  greatly  long  that  the  most  effectual 
means  may  be  used  for  the  enlightening  of  my  countrymen,  I 
am  anxious  to  have  a  Printing-Press  also  established  in  Be- 
nares, by  which  School-Books  might  be  speedily  multiplied^ 
and  Treatises  on  diflerent  subjects  might  be  printed  and 
generally  dispersed  throughout  the  countrj-.  Without  this, 
the  progress  of  knowledge  must  be  very  slow,  and  the  Hindoos 
long  remain  in  their  present  very  fallen  state,  which  is  very 
painful  to  a  benevolent  mind. 

1  most  earnestly  request,  therefore,  the  Church  Missionary 
Committee  to  take  measures  for  sending  out  a  Printing-Press 
to  Benares,  with  one  or  two  Missionaries  to  superintend  it. 
Men  of  learning,  who  may  be  able  to  satisfy  the  inquiries  of 
the  learned  of  this  ancient  City  on  subjects  of  Science  and 
History,  as  well  as  of  religion. 

The  reception  which  the  labours  of  the  Missionaries  at  Se- 
rampore  and  of  the  School  Book  Society  meet  with,  shews 
how  welcome  to  my  Countrymen  such  an  Establishment  at 
Benares  would  be.  And,  as  the  Church  Missionary  Society 
cheerfully  expends  its  funds  for  the  improvement  of  mankind^ 
there  is  no  place  where  their  labours  are  likely  to  be  more 
beneficial  than  in  Benares,  and  I  earnestly  hope,  they  will  not 
be  backwaixl  to  assist  the  efforts  making  here. 

I  am,  Honourable  Sirs, 

Your  most  obedient  humble  Servant, 
(Signed)        Jay  Narain   Ghossaul. 

"  You  will,  I  think,  agree  with  us,'*  Mr.  Thomason 
writes,  "  in  considering  the  request  of  so  great  a  Bene- 
factor highly  worthy  of  attention.  I  f  you  could  speedily 
send  out  two  suitable  Missionaries,  with  a  Printer, 
Press,  and  Types  for  Benares,  you  would  indeed  greatly 
promote  our  operations.  We  want  only  good  and  able 
men  to  carry  on  our  Missionary  Plans." 

The  Committee  are  making  every  effort  to  comply, 
as  speedily  and  efficiently  as  they  may  be  able,  with 
this  urgent  call ;  and  they  are  happy  to  state  that  they 
have  a  good  prospect  of  accomplishing  what  must  be

the  earnest  wish  of  every  member  of  the  Society. 
TTiey  eamiot,  however,  abstain,  in  the  mean  time^ 
from  commending  to  the  prayers  of  the  Members,  one 
whose  heart  has  been  inclined  to  afford  such  effectual 
support  to  the  labours  of  Christians  among  his  country- 
men, that  he  may  himself  be  brought  to  embrace  the 
Faith  with  his  whole  soul,  to  enjoy  its  peace,  and  to 
mMifest  to  all  around  him  its  sanctifying  and  en- 
nobling influence. 

By  recent  advices  from  Mr.  Corrie,  the  Committee 
learn  that  the  benevolent  intentions  of  Jay  Narain  have 
been  executed.  A  Deed  of  Gift  of  the  House  and  Pre- 
nlises  in  Benares  was  signed  at  Calcutta,  by  KoUy 
l%Hnker  Ghossaul,  son  of  Jay  Narain,  on  the  21st  of 
October,  the  writings^  then  standing  in  the  name  of 
KoUy  Shunker.  This  Deed  being  sent  up  to  Benares, 
was  signed  also  bv  Jay  Narain  Ghossaul. 

By  this  Deed  the  property  is  given  to  Messrs.  Udny 
and  Sherer,  and  the  Rev.  Messrs.  Thomason,  Parson,  and 
Robertson,  as  the  Calcutta  Committee  of  the  Church 
Missionary  Society,  and  their  successors,  "  for  the  ptir- 
pose  of  a  School  for  instruction  in  all  kinds  of  Science ; 
Mid  that,  in  this  School,  children  of  all  deiscrrptions  may 
be  instructed  in  the  English,  Persian,  tiindee,  and 
Bengalee  Languages.  The  appointment  of  the  Masters

be  appropriated  as  a  School  for  ever,  and  the  Committee 
and  their  successors  to  have  the  sole  disposal  of  it.'' 

At  the  request  of  Jay  Narain,  Mr.  Corrie  drew  up  an 
Advertisement,  detailing  the  plan  and  objects  oi  the 
School.  It  announced,  that,  mr  the  purpose  of  teach- 
ing the  Four  Languages  before  named,  an  English 
Master  had  been  engaged  as  Superintendent  of  the  In- 
stitution, with  proper  Assistants  and  learned  Teachers 
in  Persian,  Hindee,  and  Bengalee.  It  is  intended  to 
maintain  as  well  as  educate  a  number  of  Poor  Boys,  who 
are  to  be  accommodated  in  the  House ;  and  a  small 
daily  allowance  will  be  made  to  such  other  Poor  Boys 
as  cannot  be  received  into  House,  to  such  extent  as  me

the  sAme  tune^  be  opened  to  all  who  may  be  denrotts  of 
availing  theOMelves  of  them,  without  regard  to  caste 
di*  comitry;  and,  for  this  purpose.  Teachers,  Paper^ 
Pens,  and  Ink,  will  be  provided  gratis  for  all  the  Scho-^ 
lars ;  it  being  left  to  the  option  of  such  Parents  as  may 
be  able  to  pay  for  their  Children's  education,  to  con* 
tribute,  at  their  pleasure,  to  the  general  expences  of 
the  School,  and  tnereby  further  to  extend  its  benefits 
to  the  Poor.  Industrious  Youths  will  be  prepared,  by 
the  course  of  literary  instruction  afforded  them,  to  ol>^ 
tain  for  themselves  a  comfortable  livelihood  :  as  they 
will  be  taught  to  read  and  write  grammatically ;  and 
will  be  made  familiar  with  the  most  necessary  rules  of 
Arithmetic,  together  with  the  Government  Regulations 
on  the  subjects  of  Police  and  ordinary  affairs ;  and 
those  who  may  wish  it  will  be  carried  forward  to  Gene- 
ral History,  Geography,  and  Astronomy.  Regulations 
are  made  with  respect  to  the  age  of  admission  and 
the  time  of  continuance  in  the  School.  Irregularity  of 
attendance  and  immorality  of  conduct  will  exclude 
from  the  School. 

This  Advertisement  was  translated  into  the  languages 
current  in  those  parts  of  India,  and  put  into  circulation. 
The  Governor-General  promised  Jay  Narain  to  afford 
assistance  when  his  School  should  be  established :  a  copy 
of  the  Advertisement,  with  a  Letter  from  Jay  Naram^ 
was  accordingly  to  be  forwarded  to  his  Excellency. 

The  School  was  opened  on  the  17th  of  July,  1818 ; 
and,  in  November,  116  Scholars  had  been  admitted, 
and  the  School  was  becoming  very  popular  among  the 
Natives.  At  first,  none  but  Poor  Boys  offered  them- 
selves ;  but,  after  a  litde  while,  some  of  good  family 
attended  for  the  acquisition  of  English.  'ITie  Founda- 
tion Boys  will  probably  be  taken  from  among  poor 
Christians,  and  thus  the  Establishment  will  become  a 
truly  Christian  Institution.  The  particular  course  of 
Education  is  wholly  under  the  controul  of  the  Socie4y*s 
representatives;  and  will  be  conducted  on  the  principles 
and  with  the  views  which  govern  them  in  all  their  f/to- 
eeedings*

144  NINETBENTH   REPORT. 

The  sum  of  200  Rupees  per  months  or  ^300  per 
annums  has  been  secured  in  perpetuity  toward  the  sup- 
port of  the  Institution,  by  an  endowment  of  40,000 
rupees  vested,  in  trust,  in  the  Corresponding  Com- 
mittee and  their  successors,  by  the  founders  ot  the  In- 
stitution,- the  Maha  Raj  Jay  Narain  Ghossaul  and  his 
Son  KoUy  Shunker  Ghossaul.  Contributions  to  its 
funds  are,  however,  soUcited  from  all  persons  anxious 
to  extend  the  benefits  of  an  Establishment  so  likely, 
with  the  blessing  of  God,  to  be  productive  of  permfit- 
nent  and  extensive  benefits  to  that  part  of  India. 

Mr.  Corrie  ^ves  the  following  description  of  the 
premises : — 

They  contain  about  1000  yards  in  space.  The  principal 
building  is  three  stories  high.  It  contains,  on  the  second  floor — 
an  entrance — a  large  room,  supported  by  two  rows  of  pillars, 
excellently  suited  for  a  School  Room — behind  that,  a  large 
room  intended  for  a  Library  and  Museum ;  with  other  apart- 
ments in  the  Hindoostanee  Fashion.  In  the  third  story,  the 
Second  Master  and  his  family  reside.  The  second  floor  com- 
mands a  view,  to  the  North  and  East,  of  all  the  city  of  Benares 
lying  in  those  directions;  the  house  being  rather  elevated. 
To  the  South  and  West,  it  is  surrounded  by  the  houses  of 
wealthy  natives.  The  lower  story  may  be  easily  made  con- 
venient for  a  printing  establishment;  and,  to  the  South, 
apartments  may  be  constnicted  at  a  comparatively  small  ex- 
pence  for  the  residence  of  a  Head-Master,  or  the  space  may 
be  occupied  by  a  noble  Chapel. 

The  chief  inconvenience  attending  the  premises  is  the  nar- 
rowness of  the  streets  in  the  immediate  neighbourhood,  which 
will  scarcely  admit  a  palankeen  with  comtbrt ;  but  a  road  is 
likely  to  be  obtained  through  a  Fakcer's  garden,  which  will 
admit  a  carriage. 

Now  (Mr.  Corrie  adds)  a  large  field  indeed  opens  to  us ! 
May  the  Lord  of  the  Rankest,  raise  up  and  thrust  forth  suitable 
labourers  into  this  HaiTest ! 

I  have  engaged  as  Second  Master,  a  young  man,  countr}'- 
born,  but  educated  in  England.  He  has  lately  become  thought- 
ful on  the  subject  of  religion.  His  intimate  acquaintance  w^th 
the  Colloquial  Language  and  manners  of  the  Natives,  renders 
him  a  valuable  assistant.  He  is  married  to  the  daughter  of  an 
European,  and  resides  in  the  house. 

To  give  full  effect  to  this  gift  of  Jay  Narain,  you  must  send

Luchnow. 

Of  a  New  Station,  formed  in  this  large  and  populous 
city,  the  Corresporfding  Committee  observe — 

A  new  Station  for  School  Labours  has  been  formed  at 
Lucknow,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Hare. 

This  Gentleman,  who  has  resided  in  India  about  forty  years^ 
had  been  occupied  for  some  time  past  in  a  School  at  Lucknow, 
at  his  own  risk  and  charge :  when  he  was  recommended  as  a 
fit  person  to  be  encouraged,  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Corrie ;  whose 
testimony  was  confirmed  by  Captain  Simons,  stationed  with 
his  regiment  in  the  vicinity.  He  appears  to  be  a  man  of  zeal 
and  application,  in  promoting  the  wel&re  of  the  rising  gene- 
ration ;  and  the  Committee,  as  observed  already,  deeming  it 
an  important  branch  of  their  duty  to  call  forth  and  to  second 
the  efforts  of  all  those  who  in  any  part  of  this  extensive 
country  may  be  disposed  to  promote  Missionary  Objects,  have 
been  induced  to  allow  him  a  monthly  salary  of  50  Sicca  Ru- 
pees, for  the  employment  of  Native  Teachers,  and  other 
charges  necessary  to  give  efficiency  to  his  School. 

They  hope  that  the  commencement,  thus  made,  will  prosper^ 
and  grow  up  into  an  enlarged  system  of  teaching,  through 
which  an  effectual  door  may  be  opened  for  the  introduction  of 
the  Gospel.  The  establishment  of  such  a  system  superintended 
by  able  masters  appears  a  most  desirable  object,  when  it  is 
considered,  that  the  population  of  Lucknow  and  its  neigh- 
bourhood may  be  estimated  at  about  SOO^OOO  persons. 

At  Mr.  Hare's  School,  Children  of  all  classes  and  descrip- 
tions are  received.  Protestant,  Armenian,  and  Roman  Ca- 
tholic Christians,  Mussulmans  and  Chinese,  appear  on  the 
list  contained  in  the  first  and  only  report  which  he  has  trans- 
mitted to  the  Committee.

Bareilly. 

The  baptism,  at  Calcutta^  of  Fuez  Messeeh,  a  native 
of  this  place,  was  mentioned  in  the  last  Report,  where 
some  account  of  him  was  also  given. 

The  Corresponding  Committee  say  of  him,  with  re- 
ference to  his  baptism — 

He  had  left  Bareilly  several  months  before,  and  repaired  to 
Calcutta,  in  the  hope  of  enjoying  the  benefit  of  Christian  In- 
struction, and  of  being  admitted,  by  the  sacred  ordinance  of 
Baptism,  into  the  Church.  Here  he  had  uniformly  approved 
himself  to  the  Committee ;  both  for  his  knowledge  of  Christian 
principles,  and  the  correctness  of  his  conduct.  He  has  since 
returned  to  Bareilly ;  where  he  is  usefully  employee!,  at  the 
expense  of  the  Society^  as  a  Christian  Reader  or  Catechist  in 
Mrs.  Law's  School. 

Mr.  Corrie  writes  of  him,  from  Benares,  under  date 
of  February  25th,  1818— 

Jay  Nandn  is  greatly  taken  with  Fuez  Messeeh,  and  offered 
him  thirty  rupees  per  month  to  stay  with  him  as  a  part  of  his 
religious  establishment.  Fuez,  however,  refuses,  as  be  would 
not  disappoint  Mrs.  Liaw,  and  goes  off  to  Bareilly  to-morrow. 
I  have  desired  Mrs.  Law  to  allow  him  twenty  Rupees  monthly, 
to  be  drawn  upon  the  Church  Missionary  Society*  He  has  known 
tfM  he  would  have  this,  and  no  more,  for  some  time ;  yet  he 
refuses  Jay  Narain's  offer^  which  looks  well.  He  will  send  a 
m<mthly  report. 

Agra. 

Of  this  Station  the  Corresponding  Committee 
report- 
It  win  be  remembered  how  much  the  little  Christian  Society 
at  this  place  suffered  by  the  departure  of  their  Minister^  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Corrie,  to  Europe.  The  Committee  report,  with 
mUch  concern,  that  their  faithful  Native  Missionary  Abdool 
Messeeh,  has  been  long  afflicted  by  severe  bodily  indisposition. 
This  has  occasioned  many  interruptions  to  his  accustomed 
services  in  the  Church  over  which  he  is  placed.    He  con-

this  School  as  requiring  the  earliest  attention.

Schools.  They  contribute  fortj*  rupees  monthly  toward

Meerut. 

The  Corresponding  Committee  report  concerning 
this  3tMion— 

At  Meerut  their  highly*e$teemed  co-adjutor,  the  R6V. 
Mr.  Fisher,  has  been  actively  engaged  in  promoting,  as  far  as 
opportunities  would  admit,  the  qbjects  of  the  Society.  Three 
Natives  have  been  baptised  by  him,  after  giving  satisfactory 
evidence  of  their  knowledge  and  seriousness:  their  names 
are  Anund  Messeeh^  Bubadur^  and  Praeme. 

The  baptism  of  Anund  was  noticed  in  the  last  Re- 

g^rt.    Of  Buhadur  and  Praeme  Mr.  Fisher  writes,  on 
e  17th  of  March— 

.  They  are  both  of  them  very  stedfast.  Of  Buhadur  I  think 
very  mghly.  In  consequence  of  his  becoming  a  Christian,  the 
parents  of  the  children  withdrew  a  great  portion  of  his  pupils. 
1  continue  him,  however,  still  there,  as  there  are  seven  men 
who  come  daily  to  him  to  hear  the  Scripture,  and  five  others 
who  diligently  study  the  Word  of  God  with  him,  and  are  ex- 
ceedingly quickened  in  their  consciences,  expressing  con- 
tinually the  most  anxious  desires  to  become  the  disciples  and 
servants  of  Jesus  Christ. 


Delhi. 

Of  the  Saadhs,  a  remarkable  Sect  of  Hmdoos,  who 
attracted  the  notice  of  Animd  Messeeh  in  a  grove  near 
Delhi,  various  particulars  were  given  in  the  last  Report. 
The  Corresponding  Committee  observe  respecting  this 
singular  people — 

When  first  seen  by  Anund,  sanguine  hopes  were  entertained 
that  they  were  a  people  already  well  prepared  for  Missionary 
Labourers,  by  their  previous  knowledge  and  observance  of 
the  Christii^  Scriptures.  But  from  a  recent  and  well-authen- 
ticated account  of  these  people,  lately  received  fix>m  Mr. 
Fisher,  it  appears  that  they  are  merely  a  Sect  of  Hindoos, 
who,  rejecting  the  Sacred  Writings  and  estabKshed  Religious 
Creed  of  their  country,  have,  for  a  period  of.  40  or  50  years, 
professed  principles  of  pure  Deism.

Hie  account. here  referred  to  contains  many  curious 
particulars^  and  affords  good  ground  of  expectation 
from  these  people.*  They  are  very  ready  to  receive

Children  are  anxious  to  receive  instruction.  Jysingli^ 
one  of  the  Saadhs,  has  opened  a  School,  at  the  instance 
of  Mr.  Fisheir,  in  the  village  of  Kowaly,  where  he  re- 
sides. He  began  with  seven  Children;  but,  in  the 
evenings,  thirty  Men  and  Children  assembled  to  hear 
the  old  Saadh  read  a  Chapter  from  one  of  the  Gospels^ 
after  which  they  apply  to  learning, 

Titalya. 

The  residence  of  the  Rev.  F.  C.  G.  Schroeter  at 
Utalya,  in  prosecution  of  the  Thibet  Language,  and  his 
subsequent  appointment  to  Burdwan  in  order  to  super- 
intend the  Scnools  at  that  Station,  have  been  before 
reported.  The  Committee  are  happy,  however,  to 
state,  that  circumstances  led  to  Mr.  Schroeter's  return 
to  Titalya  and  the  resumption  of  his  Thibet  Studies. 

The  Report  of  the  Corresponding  Conmiittee  thus 
speaks  oii  the  subject : — 

The  Rev,  Mr.  Schroeter  continues  to  prosecute  his  Thibet 
Studies,  with  the  ultimate  view  of  lab.ouring  as  a  translator  of 
the  Scripture.  He  possesses  peculiar  talents  for  this  work ; 
which,  though  it  removes  him  for  a  season  from  iabourinp^ 
DIRECTLY  as  a  Missionary  to  the  Heathen,  must  be  reckonec^ 
in  these  eventful  times,  (when  the  Word  of  God  is,  with  un- 
parallelled  rapidity,  pervading  the  world)  among  the  highest 
and  most  important  branches  of  Ministerial  Useftilness.  Mn 
Schroeter  enjpys  advantages  for  acquiring  the  Thibet  Lan- 
guage, at  Titalya,  which  it  would  be  extremely  difficult  to 
obtain  elsewhere,  and  is  not  at  present  dependent  on  the  funds 
of  the  Society. 

The  zeal  of  Captain  Latter,  the  Commanding  Officer 
at  the  Station,  in  promoting  a  Thibet  Mission,  and  tiie

importai^ee  of  the  object,  were  stated  in  the  Ifust  Re- 
port. Hi?  has  obtained  from  Govefnment  a  Saliuy  for 
Mr.  Schroeter,  while  prosecuting  the  Thibet  Language, 
iuffici^nt  for  his  support  and  to  pay  the  expence  of  a 
Thibet  Teacher.  The  cultivation  of  this  language 
will  be  subservient  to  the  public  interests;  and  the 
Translation  of  the  Scriptures  into  that  tongue,  which  is 
the  ultimate  object  of  Mr.  Schroeter's  labours,  will 
Qdltke  known  the  Way  of  Life  to  a  most  extensive 
Region.  "  It  is  a  work,"  Mr.  Thomason  ^writes,  "  si- 
milar to  the  noble  undertaking  of  Morrison  in  China.** 
The  return  of  Mr  Schroeter  to  his  pursuits  at  Ti- 
talya  was  determined  on  for  reasons  which  fully  com- 
^  mend  themselves  to  the  Committee.  In  addition  to 
the  importance  of  the  object  in  view,  and  Mr.  Schroe- 
ter*s  comparative  inaptitude  for  other  departments  of 
Missionary  Labour,  Mr.  Thomason  states — 

« 

•  Mr.  Schroeter  has  very  peculiar  talents  for  this  particular 
fins  q(  labour:  be  is  acute  in  picking  out  a  language — a 
thorough  student — fond  of  his  employment — and  likely,  if  his 
life  be  spared,  to  clear  away  the  difficulties  which  oppose  the 
acquisition  of  this  tongue,  and  to  become  higblv  useful  as  a 
.  Linguist  and  Translator.  Very  remarkable  facilities,  more- 
over, have  been  offered  to  us,  such  as  no  European  ever 
enjoyed  before,  for  the  acquisition  of  the  language ;  and  the 
fts^gnment  to  him  of  a  stipend  from  Government  appeared  to 
us  an  indication  of  the  leadings  of  Providence,  and  is  m  fact  so 
vraeh  money  spared  to  us  for  our  School  Operations. 

Mr.  Thomason  mentions  one  of  the  facilities  afforded 
tp  Mr.  Schroeter  in  his  pursuits,  provided  by  Cap- 
tim  Latter,  and  very  honourable  to  the  zeal  of  that 
Gentleman. 

He  sent  to  Paris  (Mr.  Thomason  writes)  to  a  confidential 
friend,  a  commission  for  a  Collection  of  Books,  bearing  on  the 
Chinese  and  Thibet  subject.  That  friend  has,  at  a  considerable 
^xp6n9e  and  with  gr^i^t  difficulty,  actually  brought  together 
andx^ent  out  such  a  rare  and  curious  Missionary  Collection,  as 
India  never  had  before.    All  the  rare  and  very  scarce  produc-

relating  to  the  itete  of  things  in  those  quarters,  are  now  befiii^ 
Mr.  Schroeter. 

The  Committee  cannot  dismiss  this  subject  without 
quotinn:  a  Letter  from  Mr.  Schroeter,  dated  Goamalty, 
March  12,  1818  ;  at  which  place  he  had  arrived,  in  his 
way  fix)m  Tltalya  to  enter  on  liis  then  intended  School 
Labours  at  Burdwan. 

About  two  months  ago,  I  began  to  write  a  Letter  to  you^ 
intending  to  inform  you  of  what  I  was  doing,  and  how  far  God 
has  'been  pleased  to  prosper  me,  in  the  acquirement  of  the 
Thibet  Lwguage;  but  I  was  interrupted  by  a  Letter  from 
Mr.  Thomason,  who  informed  me  of  the  intention  oC  the  Com- 
mittee at  Calcutta,  to  remove  me  from  Titalya  to  BurdwaUj 
where  they  bad  opened  several  Schoolt>  for  the  instmction  of  ^ 
Native  Children,  and  which  they  wished  me  to  su|)erintend. 
Several  exchanges  of  Letters  took  place  between  Captain 
Latter  and  the  Committe  at  Calcutta ;  as  Ca|)taiii  Latter  felt 
disappointed  on  my  being  called  away  from  him,  and  removed 
to  a  scene  of  labour  much  less  important  than  the  acquire- 
ment of  the  Thibet  Language.  1  myself,  havuig  advanced  so 
&r  therein  as  to  read  it  with  tolerable  fluency,  could  have 
wished  to  go  on  in  the  study  of  it.  But,  according  to  your 
desire,  that  I  should  obey  in  all  things  the  Committee  at  Cal 
cutta,  I  am  following  their  directions,  though  I  have  not  yet 
arrived  at  Calcutta,  but  am  on  ray  journey  to  that  City. 

According  to  the  wish  of  the  Committee,  I  have  stepped, 
by  the  way,  into  the  house  of  Mr.  Ellerton,  an  excellent  Chris* 
tian,  and  complete  master  of  the  Bengalee,  in  order  to  profit 
from  him  in  the  acquirement  of  that  language.  How  long  I 
shall  have  the  pleasure  of  enjoying  the  society  of  this  valuable 
friend  at  Goamalty,  depends  entirely  on  the  Committee  at 
Calcutta ;  as  1  always  like  to  act  up  to  their  wishes,  so  that  in 
no  wise  any  resjionsibility  may  be  attached  to  me,  but  that  I 
may  have  always  a  consciousness  within  myself  of  having  done 
my  duty  to  my  superiors. 

Captain  Latter,  some  days  ago,  sent  me  a  Letter,  informing 
me  that  Government  had  agreed  to  pay  my  monthly  t^alary, 
should  1  give  myself  to  the  acquirement  of  the  huiguage  of 
Thibet :  but,  as  1  will  not  <lo  any  thing  without  your  permis- 
sion, or  that  of  the  Committee  at  Calcutta,  I  can  return  no 
direct  answer  on  the  subject;  but  must  commit  ail  these  affairs 
into  the  hands  of  pur  omniscient,  all-wise,  and  all-directing 
JGod  and  Sayiour,  wlio  is  the  head  of  His  Church,  and  to  th«

labour  of  whose  vineyard  I  have  devoted  myself;  wishiiig  to 
be  led  entirely  by  Him  to  the  spot  where  he  would  have  me  to 
be;  so  that  I  may  be  sure  of  His  accompanying  me  thither 
with  His  blessing :  for  though  our  views  may  seem  ever  so 
conrecty  and  our  undertakings  right  in  our  own  eyes^  yet, 
_..«_  — -^  Him,  we  shall  laboiu:  but  in  vain. 


The  Committee  have  quoted  this  passage,  not  only 
that  they  migbt  express  their  entire  satisfaction  in  the 
true  spirit  oi  a  Missionary  therein  displayed,  but  that 
they  might  hold  out  the  example  to  others.  The  So- 
ciety has  neither  the  right  nor  the  wish  to  interfere 
with  the  just  claims  of  Conscience  in  any  Missionary ; 
yet  a  misguided  Conscience  may  disqualify  a,  Missionary 
'  from  continuing  under  its  protection :  nor  has  the  So- 
ciety the  right  or  the  wish  to  interfere  ^vith  the  exercise 
of  Ecclesiastical  Jurisdiction  over  its  Missionaries, 
wherever  they  may  enjoy  the  benefit  of  such  Jurisdic- 
tion«  But  there  is  a  great  variety  of  cases,  connected 
with  local  circumstances,  and  out  of  the  pale  of  Eccle- 
siastical Jurisdiction,  in  which  an  enlightened  Con- 
science and  an  humble  Heart  will  lead  the  Missionaiy 
to  follow,  with  an  implicit  and  ready  mind,  all  such 
directions  as  may  be  communicated,  either  immediately 
from  the  Society  or  from  its  accredited  representatives. 
In  all  such  cases,  the  happiness  and  the  usefulness  of 
the  Missionary  will  generally  be  in  proportion  as  he 
imbibes  the  spirit  manifested  by  Mr.  Scbroeter. 


The  Corresponding  Committee  refer,  in  the  close  of 
their  Report,  to  the  visit  of  Mr.  Corrie  to  this  country, 
in  terms  which  your  Committee  beg  cordially  to 
eonfirm; — 

The  return  of  Mr.  Corrie  may  be  said  to  have  given  a  new 
impulse  to  Missionary  Zeal.  Paring  the  whole  of  his  stay  in

the  service  of  Ae  Church  Miasionary  Society.  It  is  hard  to 
say  whether  he  produced  a  greater  effect  by  his  public  addresses 
finom  the  pulpit,  in  behalf  of  India  Missions,  or  by  his  private 
communications  with  the  most  active  and  distinguished  friends 
of  the  cause  throughout  the  country.  His  statements  of  &cts 
excited  every  where  the  liveliest  interest ;  and,  being  those  of 
a  man  who  bad  seen,  and  heard,  and  judged  for  himself,  who 
was  experienced  in  Missionary  Labour,  who  was  also  emi- 
nently capable  of  appreciating  the  subject  and  of  shewing  how 
closely  it  was- connected  with  the  duties  and  professions  of  the 
Christian  World,  his  remarks  carried  with  them  a  weight 
'  which  no  other  testimony,  however  ably  delivered,  could  have 
possessed.  The  result  has  been  a  great  accession  of  strength 
to  the  Church  Missionary  Body  ;  whose  exertions,  at  a  period 
of  unexampled  national  distress,  have  been  truly  surprising. 

An  extract  ie  given  from  the  Sermon,  mentioned  in 
the  last  Report  of  the  Society  as  preached  by  Mr.  Cor* 
lie  in  Calcutta,  in  which  he  made  a  strong  and  affecting 
appeal  to  bis  hearers. 

I  was  frequently  favoured  (he  said)  during  my  late  visit 
home,  to  witness  the  lively  interest  expressed  by  persons  in  all 
ranks  of  life,  with  regard  to  the  state  of  the  Heathen.  The 
bare  mention  of  some  of  the  cruelties  and  superstitions  which 
we  daily  witness,  drew  tears  of  commiseration.  The  news  of 
a  single  soul  turned  from  Heathen  Darkness  to  the  Light  of 
the  Gospel,  drew  forth  bursts  of  praise  and  thanksgiving  to  the 
God  of  all  Grace  and  Mercy.  Nor  were  these  empty  expres- 
sions only ;  for,  the  abundant  contributions  throughout  Britain 
for  carrying  on  the  work  of  Missions  prove  that  multitudes 
were  sincere  in  these  expressions  of  interest  in  the  cause. 

In  my  father's  own  parish  some  of  the  poorest  inhabitants 
are  the  most  constant  contributors  to  the  Church  Missionary 
Society ;  and,  when  weekly  contributions  could  not  be  spared, 
I  have  known  the  poor  to  beg,  with  tears,  that  their  annual 
mite  might  be  accepted,  as  they  could  not  bear  the  thought  of 
giving  up  all  participation  in  so  blessed  a  work. 

Oh  when  shall  we  see  British  Christians  in  India,  thus  alive 
to  the  spiritual  wants  of  the  Heathen,  and  thus  moved  by  the 
miiperies  around  them!  When  shall  we  begin  to  appropriate 
weekly  or  monthly  sums  to  Missionary  Purposes;  and  retrench 
superfluous  expences,  to  enrich,  with  spiritual  and  eternal 
riches,  the  morally  poor  and  blind  and  naked !

The  concluding  testimony  of  Mr.  Come  will  be 
heard  witii  pleasure— 

NQtwitbstanding  the  acknowledged  difficulty  of  ascertaiuing 
Hit  sincerity  of  Converts,  I  know  several  who  walk  honesdy 
and  circumspectly  in  the  truth.  They  are  poor  indeed,  and 
of  no  repute  among  men;  but  that  will  not  be  urged  by 
Christians  as  a  reason  for  casting  them  out^  so  long  as  they 
are  willing  to  work  for  their  bread.  Five  Natives,  at  least, 
who  received  their  knowledge  of  the  truth  by  means  of  our 
Society,  have  died  in  the  Lord,  evinping  such  proofs  of  their 
fiUth,  hope,  and  love,  as  leave  no  doubt  of  their  salvation. 

Mr.  Corrie's  appointment  to  the  Chaplaincy  at 
Benares  carried  him  again  into  the  midst  oi  the  Hea- 
then. The  feelings  which  were  revived  in  his  mind,  on 
this  occasion,  aggravated  as  they  were  by  the  elevation 
which  his  spirit  had  received  in  his  visit  to  England, 
will  awaken  a  lively  sympathy  in  the  Members  of  the 
Society.  He  writes  to  the  Secretary,  from  Benares, 
under  date  of  March  23,  1818— 

I  already  begin  to  feel  the  want  of  some  of  those  animating 
addresses  which  I  heard  often  in  England,  and  of  which  we 
now  and  then  get  a  report  here ;  and  which,  at  this  distance 
even,  do  us  good,  though  divested  of  the  glowing  sympathy 
which  so  many*  kindred  minds  kindle  in  one  another  in  your 
Missionary  Meetings.  Here  we  have  need  of  a  double  portion 
of  the  grace  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  with  less  energy  of  mind  and 
body  to  seek  it.  But  our  God  carries  on  His  own  work,  and 
will  not  suffer  us  utterly  to  despair,  nor  leave  us  entirely  to 
the  tendency  of  the  discouragements  around  and  in  us. 

The  scenes  around  grow  horribly  pamiliar,  or  they  would 
move  a  heart  of  Adamant. 

In  a  neighbouring  district,  with  the  Magistrate  of  which 
I  am  well  acquainted,  I  find  not  less  than,  on  an  average,  two 
widows  are  burnt  every  month!  Six  Lepers  were  buried 
alive,  or  drowned  by  their  relatives,  during  the  last  year ! 
About  one  hundred  perished  by  drowning  themselves  in  wells, 
with  a  view  to  be  revenged  on  some  one  or  other  who  had 
offended  them.  The  district  is  not  large ;  and  this  may  be 
considered  as  the  very  lowest  estimate  of  the  number  of  similar 
occurrences,  throughout  ^  similar  extent  of  country,  iu  all

But,  not  t^  tpetk  of  these  mormities,  the  present  teason 
of  the  Hooley,  or  Saturnalia,  exhibits  the  whole  Hindoo 
Population  drunk,  as  it  were,  with  the  filthiness  and  abomi- 
uation  o{  Idolatry.  In  all  directions  are  heard  the  voices  of 
parties,  raving  as  if  they  would  rend  their  organs  of  utter- 
ance, in  songs  the  most  indecent  and  dbgusting. — 7%etr  throat 
U  an  open  sepulchre  ! 

The  labourers  required  in  such  situations  as  these 
are  o£  no  ordinary  standard.  Mr.  Corners  remariis  on 
this  point  merit  deep  attention : — 

We  cannot  but  greatly  desire  more  help.  Missionaries  of 
our  own  Church,  in  particular,  might  greatly  benefit  many 
of  their  countrymen;  while  they  would  receive  frond  them, 
in  return,  much  assistance  in  their  Missionary  Labours. 

At  the  same  time,  let  your  Missionariet^  ask  themselves. 
Whether  they  can  really  renounce  the  world,  so  as  to  be 
content  in  India  with  the  same  kind  of  subsistence  as  they 
receive  in  England.  Can  they  see  so  much  honour  in  the  work  of 
the  Minlstry,a8  shall  compensate' for  theabsence  of  external  show 
and  nominal  rank  ?  It  becomes  each  one  who  comes  hither, 
well  to  weigh  these  things,  before  he  leaves  his  native  land. 

The  Committee  rejoice  to  learn  that  there  is  a  rapid 
increase  in  benevolent  and  Christian  Exertions  in 
Calcutta.  The  European  Female  Orphan  Asylum, 
the  EHocesan  Committee  of  the  Society  for  promoting 
Christian  Knowledge,  the  School-Book  Society,  the 
Hindoo  College,  the  Auxiliary  Bible  Society,  with  others, 
are  all  in  active  operation  ana  are  well  supported.  The 
Governor  General,  in  his  College  Speech,  recommends 
the  communication  of  knowledge  to  the  Nativea  of 
India :  the  Bishop  enforces  the  same  duty  from  the 
pulpit :  and  now  scarcely  an  opponent  dares  shew  his 
head.    Surely  this  hath  God  wrought ! 


In  reference  to  this  subject  Mr.  Corrie  writes — 

You  will  rejoice  to  hear  of  the  increasing  exertions  in  this 
country,  all  tending  to  bring  on  the  universal  flow  into  the 
Kingdom  of  Christ.  There  is  a  marvellous  change  of  opinion 
on  these  subjects  among  us ;  and  for  all  these  operations,  the 
Native  Mind  also  is  prepared,  and  we  cannot  meet  the  calls  for 

instruction  which  the  people  are  uttering  arowM  uSf 


156  KINBTEEKTH  REPORT. 

'  The  Committee  will  now  proceed  to  the 

MJDRJS  JND  SOUTH  INDIA  MISSION. 

The  Society  will  have  been  prepared  by  the  First 
Report  of  the  Madras  Corresponding  Committee,  re- 
ceived subsequently  to  the  last  Anniversary,  but  printed 
with  the  Report,  to  expect  many  and  important  com- 
munications from  that  Mission.  This  has,  in  fact, 
been  the  case  to  such  an  extent,  that  the  Committee 
will  find  it  difficult  to  bring  even  the  substance  of  these 
communications  within  a  short  compass. 

It  were  much,  indeed  to  be  wished,  that  the  Annual 
Reports  of  both  the  Calcutta  and  Madras  Committees 
might  arrive  in  this  country  in  sufficient  time  to  be  in- 
corporated into  the  Reports  of  your  Committee  ;  as  it 
is  manifest  that  the  friends  on  the  spot  who  have  the 
actual  direction  of  the  Society's  affairs ,  are  better  able, 
from  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  bearing  of  local  cir- 
qumstances,  to  furnish  a  well-digested  view  of  the  pro- 
ceedings, than  can  be  compiled  at  home  from  the  various 
communications  received  in  the  course  of  the  year. 
Your  Committee  deem  this  subject  of  such  importance, 
that  it  is  intended  to  request  the  Committees  at  Calcutta 
and  Madras  to  close  ^heir  respective  years  at  Michael- 
mas, in  order  that  the  Reports  of  eacn  year  may  reach 
this  country  in  due  time  to  be  presentea  to  the  Annual 
Meetings  in  the  Reports  of  the  Committee.* 

*  Since  the  delivery  of  the  Report,  the  Second  Annual  Report  of 
the  Madras  Corresponding  Committee  has  been  received.  It  so  fully 
answers  the  expectation  above  expressed,  that  the  Committee  think 
it  expedient  to  substitute  it  in  the  place  of  the  statements  presented 
by  theai  to  the  Annual  Meeting  j  retaining  such  parts  of  their  own 
Keport  as  are  not  superseded  by  that  of  the  Corresponding  Committee.

were  ori^oaJly  assijpne*!  to  the  Society's 
Committee  iu  Calcutta,  but  who  rc- 
maiued  at  Madras,  with  his  own  consent 
and  the  approval  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Come, 
has  since,  at  the  particular  request  of 
that  Committee,  proceeded  to  JSengal. 
And,  lastly,  the  Committee  have  acceded 
to  the  request  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Kolhoff, 
tanctioneid  by  the  I«ord  Bishop  of  Cal- 
cutta, for  the  temporary  assistance  of 
the  Rev.  Mr.  Baker  at  Tanjore;  and 
have  thus  transferred  his  services,  fur 
the  present,  to  the  Society  for  Promot- 
ing Christian  Knowledge,  by  a  particu- 
lar arrangement  with  the  Bladras  Dis- 
trict Committee,  subject  to  the  deter- 
mination of  the  respective  Societies  in 
Eni^laod.

curred to  any  of  the  Society's  Missions 
iti  the  Peninsula.  Indeed  the  place  of 
Mr.  Dawsuu  at  Cochin,  has  nt)t  been 
supplied :  as  the  Rev.  Mr.  Fenn,  al- 
though stationed  iu  Travancore,  resides 
at  Cotym ;  and  has,  as  vet,  no  imme- 
diate connexion  with  toe  Jews ;  and 
the  Missions,  both  in  Travancore  and  a^ 
Madras,  have  lost,  m  the  Missionaries 


who  have  quitted  them,  the  benefit  of 
some  experience  of  the  character  and 
manners  of  the  Natives,  and,*  in  one 
case,  considerable  acquaintance  with 
their  language,  for  which  new  Miit&on- 
aries,  with  all  their  xeal  and  abinty, 
cannot  for  some  time  supply  a  tulm- 
tute.  Thus,  in  respect  of  external 
means,  these  Missioiu  must  be  cooii* 
dered,  for  a  time,  as  rather  less  efficient 
than  they  were  at  the  date  of  the  last

^'  Alad !  it  is  an  awful  and  depi'essing  moment !  We .  haVe 
heard  that  the  Natives^  affrighted  and  tremblings  have  offerc  H 


ber  of  Children  who  oome  into  the 
School  ii  now  only  seven  or  ei^ht." 

Other  variations,  indeed,  in  the  names 
•lid  number  of  the  Schools  will  be  re- 
imurked,  oh  coropariDe  the  statement 
given  above,wiih  tbatexnibited  in  the  last 
Report.  It  will  be  seen  that  two  Schools 
luive  been  discontinued  at  Madras, 
and  one  at  Trivatore ;  while  new  ones 
have  been  founded  at  Panal^akum  and 
Koorookapettah.  Tiie  failure  of  those 
at  Madras  appears  to  have  been  ulti- 
mately caused  by  dislike  of  Christianity, 
which  was  taught  in  them ;  mixed,  m 
some  instances,  with  an  undefined  ap- 
prehension of  some  sinister  motive  con- 
nected with  thehi :  the  progress  of  their 
decline  was  slow  ;  as  toey  were  n\ain- 
tained,  in  every  instance,  as  long  as 
any  prospect  uf  good  remained.  The 
history  of  the  Fifth  School,  displays  an 
instance  almost  as  striking,  as  that 
before  recited  of  the  Third  School, 
thouch  in  a  conthiry  direction,  of  that 
rapid  and  total  transition  to  opposite 
•eutiments,  above  remarked  as  charac- 
terising the  Native  Community  of  In- 
dia :  this  School  was  established  in  con- 
sequence of  a  petition,  signed  by  several 
respectable  Heathen  Natives,  who  lived 
in  the  street  where  it  was  to  be  carried 
on,  or  in  its  vicinity  ;  and  one  of  them 
offered  unasked  a  piece  6f  ground  tO' 
build  a  School-House .  but,  before  long, 
the  whole  scene  was  changed:  the 
owner  of  the  ground  delayed,  on  various 
pretexts,  to  complete  his  grant;  and, 
during  this  interval,  the  Children 
were  assembled  and  instructed  in  the 
front  of  some  native  houses  in  the 
street:  soon  after  the  owner  of  the 
ground  declined  to  grant  it  at  all ;  where- 
upon the  petitioners  were  informed, 
that  unless  they  provided  a  suitable 
place  for  the  School,  it  would  be  discon- 
tinued: after  a  while,  the  Natives,  be- 
fore whose  houses  the  Children  assem- 
bled, became  troublesome,  and  wished 
to  have  them  removed ;  the  petitioners 
failed  to  procure  a  new  School-place 
by  tl  e  time  limited  them ;  and  then,  at 
last,  the  School  was  finally  discontinued. 
A  change  somewhat  similar,  though  not 
so  decided,  was  the  cause  of  the  Fourth 
or  Mussulman  School  being  discouti- 
Bued :  it  was  established,  indeed,  only 
9$  an  experiment :  though  not  applied 


for,  it  was  apparently  liked  by  several 
respectable  Moormen  at  first,  and  some 
seemed  disposed  to  interest  themselves 
in  procuring  a  proper  scite  for  a  School* 
House;  but  these  hopeful  appearances 
quickly  vanished :  the  teaching  of  the 
Bible  was  the  grand  objection:  indif- 
ference succeeded  to  interest,  and  dis-. 
like  to  indifference;  and  the  prospect 
of  benefit,  from  its  continuance  was  at 
length  so  small,  that  it  no  longer  justified 
the  expense  of  maintaining  the  School. 

The  Committee  cherish,  however,  a 
persuasion,  that,  short  as  was  the  con- 
tinuance of  these  Schools,  the  instruction 
given  in  them  has  left  some  good  im- 
pression, perhaps  even  some  savour  of 
Christian  Truth,  in4he  minds  of  many 
who  attended  them,  either  as  scholars 
or  auditors;  and  that  thus  both  were 
useful,  in  some  degree.  One  at  least, 
the  Fifth,  has  left  a  lasting  memorial 
behind  it.  A  few  Adult  Natives  from 
the  country,  who,  when  passing  by, 
had  stept  into  it,  and  examined  what 
was  being  taught,  reported  and  com- 
mended ^hat  they  had  heard,  at  their 
own  village  of  Tirookatchoore,  near 
Chingleput ;  from  ^%  hence,  before  long, 
a  Petition  was  sent,  requesting  that  a 
like  School  might  be  established  there^ 
with  an  express  declaration  that  the 
Petitioners  wished  the  Ten  Command- 
ments to  be  taught  in  it :  and,  though 
a  School  has  nut  been  actually  esta- 
blished there,  for  reasons  which  will 
be  stated  hereafter,  the  circumstances 
of  the  Petition  induced  Mr.  Rhenius  to 
visit  the  place  twice  in  his  Country 
Tours ;  and,  on  both  occasions,  he  had 
opportunities  of  preaching  the  Gospel*, 
and  of  distributing  Tracts  and  Tes- 
taments. 

In  the  course  of  the  last  year,  a  ge- 
neral assembly  of  all  the  Schoolmasters 
was  held,  thrice,  in  the  Mission-House 
at  Madras.  On  the  first  of  these  occa- 
sions. Instructions*  were  read  to  them, 
and  a  copy  afterwards  delivered  to  each. 
At  these  assemblies,  minute  and  confi- 
dential communications  were  elicited 
from  the  Schoolmasters,  of  their  own 
proceedings  at  their  stations,  of  the 
state  of  the  surrounding  country  with 
respect  to  religion,  and  of  the  senti- 
ments entertained  concerning  the  Chris- 
tian Books  introductMl  among  them  j

hitherto  been  printed. 

"  I  observe  m  one  of  the  Missionary

Palamc$ttah. 

f 

Amidst  many  painful  intemiptions  of 
his  various  labours,  occasioned  by  fre- 
quent  returns  of  severe  illness,  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Huugh  has  continued  through 
this  year  to  cany  forward  his  ntmiehms 
plans  for  the  promotion  of  the  Society*!' 
objects,  at  this  station,  and  in  different 
parts  of  the  District  of  UnneveUyf 
with  unabated  zeal  and  prudence ;  and, 
the  Committee  are  thankful  to  be 
enabled  to  add,  with  increasing  success. 

The  large  town  of  Tutecoryn,  on  the 
sea  coast  of  Tinnevelly,  about  forty 
miles  from  Palamcottah,  had  very  eiyrlf 
engaged  Mr.  Hough's  attention.  It  u 
a  Dutch  Settlement,  containing  a  con- 
siderable native  population,  a  great 
proportion  of  whicn  are  *•  Purrawars," 
a  class  of  Roman  Catholics  inhabiting 
the  sea-coast  of  this  district,  and  of 
Ceylon,  and  engaged  chiefly  in  the 
coasting  trade  of  that  part  of  the  couih 
try.  He  established  a  School  therey 
with  some  prospect  of  success,  at  the 
beginniug  of  the  year ;  but  the  Jea- 
lousy of  the  Roman  Catholics,  and  the 
prejudices  of  the  Natives,  arainst  e 
Protestant  Christian  Schoolmaster^ 
defeated  the  plan. 

A  Roman  Catholic  Schoolmaster  was 
then  proposed  to  them ;  and  the  mea- 
sure was  approved  of,  at  the  time :  but 
it  fell  to  toe  ground,  when  it  should 
have  been  carried  into  effect;  duid 
every  attempt  to  gain  a  footing  amoag 
them  was  disappointed,  till  a  Heathen ' 
Schoolmaster  was  selected,  who  was 
instructed  in  the  improved  method  jt 
teaching,  and  was  found  wilfing  to 
adopt  the  prescribed  lessons  and  books. 
Uuaer  him  the  School  still  cooiinuesy 
but  in  a  very  low  state.

nal^  are  very  fiurt  dying  away.    The  indications  which 
they  have  already  recorded  of  an  improving  state  of  the 


tbouf  b  aimple,  indicated  uoceritv ;  and, 
flndini^  that  one  of  them  could  read, 
I  presented  him  with  a  Tamnl  Prayer- 
Book,  and  a  Tract  containinr  the  prin- 
cijpdet  of  Christianity.  Thev  begged  for 
a  Catechiit ;  but  it  wag  not  in  my  power 
to  mnt  their  request,  before  the  month 
or  October  last;  when  I  sent  them  a 
ymmg  Man,  whom  Mr.  Koihoff  had 
iBrected  to  me  from  Taojore.  He  came 
in  quest  of  employment ;  and,  finding 
blm  cmalifled  for  the  duties  of  either  a 
Oalecnist  or  Schoolmaster,  I  sent  him 
to  Situmburapooram,  in  company  vnth 
the  Catechistol  this  Station,  to  ascertain 
the  disposition  of  the  people,  and  the 
lars  about  thbm  and  the  neigh- 
country, 
le  substance  of  the  Report  was  as 
follows : — 

**  In  the  village  itself  there  were  seven 
mep,  who  with  their  families  made 
twentr-three  souls,  desirous  of  leaving 
the  Roman  Communion,  and  joining 
thit  of  the  Protestant  Church.  The 
Bime  of  the  head-man  is  Royappeii, 
to'whom  Mr.  Ringletaube,  late  of  Mi- 
laudy,  gave  a  Testament,  some  time 
back  s  imd  it  appears  to  have  been  from 
the  careful  perusal  of  this  Sacred 
Volume,  that  they  have  formed  their 
holy  purpose.  A  short  distance  from 
this  village  is  another,  Kunrumgalum, 
ia  which  are  five  Heathen  Men  with 
thdr  families,  twenty-seven  all  together, 
most  desirous  of  receiving  instruction, 
with  a  view  to  their  being  baptized  mto 
the  Christian  Faith. 

*'  I  could  not  ascertain  that  thev  had 
any  motive  whatever,  but  a  pure  desire 
to  turn  from  tiarknest  unto  lighi.  Under 
tuch  circumstances,  and  as  one  man 
could  easily  attend  to  both  villages,  I 
desired  the  Catechist  to  remain  there  to 
form  the  Catholics  into  a  Protestant 
CImrch,  and  to  prepare  the  Heathen 
for  baptism. 

**  Tney  have  not  a  Church  yet;  and 
I  do  not  encourage  the  making  of  pre- 
parations for  one,  unl;^l  I  shall  have 
oeen  able  to  visit  them  myself,  and  fix 
on  the  most  ehgible  spot  of  ground  for 
the  building.  Royappen  has  offered  the 
ground;  and  our  Collector  has  again, 
of  his  own  accord,  proffered  us  his  as- 
ibtance. 

«  There,  then  the  Church  Mi#skmaiy 
SooU^  may  eonuder  Kaalf  la  poMciied 


of  another  Station;  and,  as  in  the  limc- 
tion  of  two  Villaj^  in  one  Parish  at 
home,  we  will  call  it  *  Situmburapooram 
ncm  Kunrumgalum/  The  Catechist't 
name  is  Arulanum." 

At  evenr  station  where  the  Soaety 
has  any  footing,  supplies  of  the  Holy 
Scriptures,  in  different  languages,  have 
been  sent,  from  time  to  time ;  and  the 
copies  have  been  scattered  extensively 
among  the  people.  What  may  be  the 
blessing  conveyed  by  a  solitary  copy  of 
a  Bible  or  Testament,  given,  it  may 
be,  inadentall^,  the  occurrence  iu  the 
village  of  Situmburapooram  (were 
there  not  on  record  many  similar  oc- 
currences, in  various  places)  might 
ser\'e  to  manifest.  The  circumstances 
which  have  attended  the  distribution  uf 
some  of  the  supplies  sent  to  Mr. 
Hough,  will  be  known  by  the  follow- 
ing narrative  commimicatcd  by  him  :— 

«*  The  supply  of  Tamul  TesUments, 
which  you  sent  roe  last,  by  sea,  is  more 
than  half  gone.  Of  the  Gentoo  Gos- 
pels, there  are  none  remaining.  As  I

gine  that  there  must  be  some  inte- 
resting cases ;  and  such  is,  indeed,  the 
fact.  But,  as  tliey  differ  so  little  from 
many  published  accounts,  I  think  it 
uimecessary  to  trouble  you  with  them. 
Yet  one  that  occurred  yesterday  is  so 
recent,  and  so  uucommim  in  this  part 
of  the  world,  that  I  shall  relate  it  aa 
one  proof,  among  many,  that  your 
donations  of  Testaments  to  the  poor 
people  of  this  district  are  not  alto- 
gether thrown  away: — 

**  A  Roman  Catholic,  sixty-eight 
years  of  age,  and  the  brother  of  a 
Koman  Cattiolic  four  years  younger 
than  himself,  came  fourteen  miles  to 
iMrg  for  a  Tamul  Tesuinent.  His  ap- 
pearance, for  hi<»  black  fiace  and  breast 
were  covered  with  vvhite  hairs,  in- 
creased the  interest  which  his  request 
had  exri;ed ;  and,  as  he  bowed  his 
aged  bofly  to  receive  the  boon  which 
be  craved,  1  could  not  but  prav,  that 
the  Book  which  he  held  migbt  lead 
him  to  bend  1)efore  the  footstool  of 
mercy,  to  receive  the  salvatioo  of  his 
soul.*^

rionaries  at  Madras  do   not  coAceal   these  ^Biscou- 
tagements. 

The  hearts  of  those  (they  write)  who  have  often  heard  here 
the  blessed  Gospel^  remain  still  unchanged.  Many  Heathen, 
who  seem  to  be  really  convinced  of  the  excellency  of  the  Word 
of  God,  yet  fear  or  love  the  world  more  than  God,  and  with- 
boU  their  open  profession ;  and  others,  who  do  not  hesitate  to 
make  a  profession  of  Christianity,  are  yet,  in  their  hearts,  fiir 
from  the  kingdom  of  God.  Such  as  are  ah*eady  Christians 
remain  still,  alas!  in  too  many  instances,  a  scandal  to  the 
Christian  Name : — they  have  a  name  that  they  live,  but  they  are 
dsod.  While  the  Heathen  without  distress  us  by  the  hard- 
ness of  their  hearts,  the  Christians  within,  who  should  be  our 
erown  and  rejoicing,  make  the  work  of  the  Lord  more  difficult 
to  us;  Wherever  we  look,  with  but  very  few  exceptions,  love 
of  the  world  and  of  sel^  and  nearly  inconceivable  hypocrisy 
abound. 

The  Missionaries  are  not,  however,  dejected  by  this 
state  of  things.  There  are  instances  of  a  £Edthful  and 
intelligent  amierence  to  the  Gospel  among  the  Natives 
which  awaken  hopes  of  its  wider  influence :  and  they 
derive  encouragement  also,  and  that  not  unjustly,  from 
the  very  hostility  at  present  manifested. 

The  zealous  opposition  of  the  Heathen  (they  write)  here  in 
Madras,  their  rising  against  the  Lord  and  His  anointed,  and 
the  division  which  is  ready  to  take  place  among  them  as  par- 
ties either  for  or  against  the  cause  of  the  Gospel — are  very 
cheering  to  our  spirits ;  being  assured  thereby,  that  the  light 
of  the  Gospel  is  not  hid  from  them,  and  that  the  Almighty 
Conqueror  is  arising.  While  we,  His  unworthy  Servants, 
bave  put  our  hands  to  the  plough,  we  are  anxiously  looking 
to  our  Great  Master  to  give  effect  to  the  breaking-up  of  this 
fidlow  ground,  and  to  cause  the  seed  sown  to  spring  up ;  that 
our  dear  fellow-men,  who  know  not  God  and  are  fall  of  wick- 
edness, may  learn  to  rgoice  in  God  their  Saviour  and  be  made 
holy  as  Bets  holy !

In  reference  to  tiie  encouragement  derived  from  the 
Schools^  Mr.  Rhenius  writes — 

The  Schools  give  me  a  certain  authority  in  every  place; 
and  die  denred  opportunity  of  having  the  people  assembled, 
and  preaching  the  Gospel  to  them :  besides  that  they  are  pre- 
imring  the  mindb  of  the  rising  generation  to  understand  the 
€k)Bpel. 

A  Christian  Friend,  in  England^  would  witness,  ^th  tears,  a 
aigfat  like  this.  A  Minister  of  the  Grospel  comes  into  a  YQ- 
lage— -he  is  carried  to  the  shade  of  a  fine  large  tree,  near  the 
j&ce,  or  near  to  their  Temple — ^the  people  of  the  Village;, 
small  and  great,  young  and  old,  assemble  round  him^  sittmg 
on  their  crossed  legs— he  addresses  them  on  the  salvation  of 
their  souls  by  Christ  Jesus,  and  on  the  education  of  their  chil- 
drra — the  people  at  times  listen  with  great  attention,  looking 
down  to  the  ground,  as  if  engaged  by  important  thoughts— 
then,  turning  to  one  another,  they  will  say,  ^^  What  do  you 
say  to  this  or  that?" — "  What  will  become  of  this?"  doubtii^, 
fearing,  or  rgoicing  about  what  thev  hear. 

Let  the  Christian  Friend,  in  England,  represent  to  himself 
such  a  scene  in  each  Village;  and  consider  it,  though  he  do 
not  see  the  desired  effects  of  conversion  on  the  spot,  as  a  way- 
mark  pointing  to  that  end.  It  will  rejoice  his  heart;  and 
redouble  his  liberality,  to  aid  the  establishment  of  Missions 
and  their  Schools ;  until,  by  the  grace  of  God,  the  Heathen 
will  be  enlightened  to  see,  and  enabled  to  walk  in,  the  beauty 
of  Holiness,  and  to  take  pleasure  in  providing  for  their  own 
Ministers  and  for  their  own  Schools. 

With  reference^  more  especially  to  Travaneore, 
Mr.  Thompson  writes,  in  his  accustomed  strain  of 
animation-**- 

I  have  the  pleasure  to  send  you  Mr.  Dawson's  Journal.  You 
will  find  in  it  some  interesting  communications  respecting  the 
Jews  at  Cochin,  and  an  interview  which  he  has  had  with  the 
Rajah  of  Cranganore.  It  is  calculated  to  enlarge  our  view  of 
the  importance  of  our  Missions  in  Travancore.  Our  Mis- 
sionaries are  every  where  desired — ^by  Christians,  Jews,  and 
Heathens.* 

I  hope  it  will  have  the  effect  to  confirm  the  minds  of  our 
friends  in  England,  in  the  zeal  which  ihey  have  so  nobly

manifested;  but  there  is  not  another,  where  there  is  an  equal

Measures  had  been  taken  for  the  formation  of  a  New 
Station  at  Pulicat,  about  twenty  miles  north  ot  Madras. 
This  place  was  restored  to  the  Dutch  on  the  31st  of 
March,  of  last  year.  Dr.  Rottler  had  occasionally 
ministered  among  the  kihabitants  ;  but  both  the  Dutch 
Population  and  Native  Christiaps  were  without  a  Pastor. 
Mr.  Deocar  Schmid  had  ^eed  to  remove  tjhither ;  and

Government^  his  thankful  assent  to  the  proposal.  The 
removal^  however,  of  Mr.  Schmid  to  Calcutta,  suspended 
the  accomplishment  of  the  plan ;  which  will  gladly  be 
renewed,  if  the  Committee  should  have  it  in  meir 
power,  many  advantages  being  likely  to  arise  from  the 
establishment  of  a  Mission  in  that  quarter. 

The  Committee  are  happy  to  see,  that  the  Missionaries 
are  M^tchful  to  embrace  the  opportunities,  which  the 
state  of.  the  Heathen  may  aflford  them  of  urging  on 
them  attention  to  Christianity.  From  the  statements 
which  Mr.  Deocar  Schmid  had  read,  in  the  Missionary 
Re^ster  and  in  the  Madras  Courier,  respecting  Ram- 
mohun  Roy,  he  became  very  desirous  of  entering  into 
a  correspondence  with  that  extraordinary  man.  He 
addressed,  therefore,  a  Letter  to  him,  in  April  of  last 
year^  in  which  he  urged  on  him,  at  large,  and  unques- 
tionably with  much  vigour,  the  duty  and  advantages  of 
embracing  Christianity.'^  At  the  date  of  the  last 
advices,  no  answer  had  been  received. 

The  Committee  will  conclude  the  review  of  the 
Madras  and  South  India  Mission,  in  the  encouraging 
words  of  Mr.  Thompson  : — 

I  contemplate,  (he  says,)  and  hold  out,  work,  hard  work, 
and  also  much  of  it,  with  a  sufficiency  perhaps  of  discourage- 
ments and  disappointments,  before  any  great  thing  is  effected 
to  reward  the  toils  of  the  labourer,  and  the  faith  and  patience 
of  them  who  send  him  forth.  But  I  contemplate  also  the  eye 
af  the  Lord  upon  him,  in  the  midst  of  his  toils  and  exhaus- 
tkms,  with  great  approbation ;  and  hear  an  encouraging  voice 
behind  him,  as  from  day  to  day  he  resumes  cheerfully  his 
godlike  work — ^^  Well  Acme,  good  and  faithful  servant !  Thou 
bearest  now  the  burden  and  heat  of  the  day ;  but  there  re- 
maineth  a  rest !  a  crown  of  glory  is  laid  up  for  thee,  which 
the  Icrdy  the  righteous  Judge,  shall  give  thee  in  that  day  !*'

The  Members  will  leam^  with  pleasure,  that  a  Com-

part  of  Indiay  for  Uie  direction  of  such  exertions  as  the 
Society  may  be  enabled  to  make  witiUn  that  Pren«- 
dency  and  the  adjacent  places. 

The  Rev.  Thomas  Carr^  one  of  the  Company's  Chap- 
lains on  Hiis  Establishment^  writes  from  Surat^  under 
date  of  June  9, 1818— 

Widi  much  pleasure  I  inform  you  that  we  have  established, 
in  this  Presidency^  a  Corresponding  Committee  of  the  Church 
Missionary  Society.  You  may  have  thought  us  tardy  j  but  it 
would  not  have  been  prudent  to  attempt  any  thing  of  the 
kind  at  an  earhcr  period,  as  several  charitable  measures  have 
been  lately  adopted  which  required  immediate  attention. 

If  you  can  send  us  out  some  intelligent  and  diligent  Mis- 
siojoaries,  they  will  find  friends  in  our  Corresponding  Com- 
mittee, who  have  not  made  empty  promises.  I  do  not  men- 
tion any  particular  Station.  Were  a  Missionary  settled  in 
every  town  in  India,  he  would  not  find  himself  out  of  place. 

I  do  not  .know  any  tiling  so  essential  to  the  character  of  a 
sionary^  next  to  a  heart  fully  devoted  to  the  service  of  his 
Lord^  as  that  he  should  be  apt  to  teach;  and  against  hope 
should  believe  in  hope.  For  a  season  at  leasts  and  that  per- 
haps no  short  one^  he  must  be  prepared  to  derive  all  his  en- 
couragement, not  from  the  eagerness  to  inquire  after  Salva- 
tion manifested  by  the  Natives,  but  from  the  Divine  Promises. 
After  having  patiently  endured  disappointment  and  labour  for 
a  few  years,  let  him  then  expect  to  sec  some  fruit  of  his 
Ministrv.  I  say  not  this  to  discourage  any  ;  but  that,  having 
counted  the  cost,  a  Missionary  may  not  be  disheartened,  when 
he  comes  into  this  part  of  the  country,  to  find  how  little  in- 
terest Natives  generally  feel,  with  respect  either  to  instruction 
or  to  Christianity.  The  arm  of  the  Lord  is  not,  however, 
shortened,  that  it  cannot  save  these  blind  and  prejudiced 
people;  neither  is  His  ear  heavy,  that  it  cannot  hear  the 
prayers  offered  up  for  their  Salvation, 

The  Committee  cannot  but  indulge  the  hope,  that 
the  co-operation  of  the  Society's  friends  in  the  Western 
parts  of  India,  offered  in  this  spirit  and  with  these 
views,  will,  in  due  time^  become  effectual,  imder  the 
blessing  of  God,  in  very  extensively  promoting  its 
objects.  They  hope  to  be  able,  on  the  return  of 
the  Rev.  Henry  Davies  to  Bombay  in  the  early  part  of

next  year^  to  prepare  some  Missionaries  to  accompany

CEYLON  MISSION. 

.  TTie  Rev.  Messrs.  Lambriek^  Mayor,  Ward,  and 
Knight,  whose  departure  for  this  Mission  was  stated  in 
the  last  Report,  landed  at  Colombo  in  the  end  of  Jime. 

They  were  received  with  great  kindness  by  all  classes 
<^  persons.  Archdeacon  Twisleton,  and  the  Senior 
Chaplain,  the  Rev.  George  Bissett,  rendered  them 
every  assistance ;  and  they  were  greatly  indebted  to 
the  ftev.  Mr.  Chater,  Missionary  from  the  Baptish  So- 
ciety, for  his  miwearied  attention  to  their  comfort. 
Unul  somewhat  settled,  they  were  very  liberally  sup- 
|died  from  Government-house  with  every  thing  that 
they  wanted. 

The  Committee,  in  their  Instructions,  had  appointed 
Mr.  Lambrick  to  Colombo,  Mr.  Mayor  to  Galle,  Mr. 
Ward  to  Trincomalee,  and  Mr.  Knight  to  Jafihapatam — 
Colombo  and  Galle  being  stations  amon^  the  Cmgalese 
inhabitants  of  the  island,  and  Trincomalee  and  «^i&a- 

Satam  among  the  Malabar;  which  are  the  two  great 
ivisions  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  coast,  v  It  was  left, 
however,  to  the  decision  of  the  Missionaries,  under  the 
guidance  of  Heavenly  Wisdom,  on  considering  all  cir- 
cumstances, whether  any  other  stations  would  be  pre- 
ferable to  those  which  had  been  named. 

The  insurrection  in  the  Kandyan  Provinces  having 
removed  his  Excellency  the  Governor  from  Colombo, 
the  Missionaries  were  detained  from  taking  their  re- 
spective stations  as  soon  as  they  wished ;  but  this  delay 
was  attended  with  the  advantage  of  their  obtaining 
much  information,  respecting  the  state  of  the  island, 
and  of  the  particular  places  to  which  their  attention  had 
been  directed. 

As  the  result  of  their  enquiries,  Mr.  Lambrick  was 
fixed  at  Kandy,  instead  of  Colombo  ;  and  Mr.  Ward  at 
Calpentyn,  near  Manar,  instead  of  Trincomalee  ;  Mr. 
^ayor  proceeding,  as  originally  destined,  to  Galle,  and 
Mr.  Knight  to  Jimiapatam.

Most  6t  the  Missionaries  left  Colombo,  for  their  re- 
spective stations,  in  the  month  of  July :  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Ward  were,  however,  detained  there,  by  Mrs.  Ward's 
confinement,  till  nearly  the  end  of  September. 

Advices  have  been  received  from  Mr.  Lambrick,  Mr. 
Mayor,  and  Mr.  Ward,  respecting  their  stations ;  the 
substance  of  which  the  Conuuittee  will  proceed  to  lay 
before  the  Society. 

Kandy. 

A  Letter  from  his  Excellency  Sir  Thomas  Brownrigg 
to  the  Noble  President  of  the  Society,  dated  Kandy, 
June  25,  1818,  will  shew  the  grounds  on  which  it  was 
ultimately  decided  that  Mr.  Lambrick  should  occupy 
the  important  station  of  Kandy  : — 

My  Lord — 

On  the  22d  instant,  I  received  the  honour  of  your  Lord- 
sbip's  Letter  of  the  30th  of  October,  1817* 

in  consequence  of  an  unfortunate  insurrection  disturbing 
the  Interior  of  this  Island,  I  have  been  for  several  months  in 
Kandy,  and  have  not  yet  seen  the  Gentlemen  whom  you  re- 
commend. 

Your  Lordship  may  rest  assured,  that  it  will  ever  be  my 
desire  to  protect  and  encourage  the  Preachers  of  Christiaiu^, 
as  weiras  to  promote  the  great  object  of  their  pious  labours. 

It  is  far  from  my  intention  to  interfere  with  the  destination 
of  these  Reverend  Gentlemen  sent  out  by  the  Church  Mis- 
sionary Society,  by  givmg  any  directions  for  their  future  resi- 
dence 5  but  the  present  situation  of  the  town  of  Kandy,  where 
I  have  been  for  many  months,  and  am  likely  still  to  remaiUi 
makes  the  presence  of  a  Clergyman  highly  desirable. 

Since  the  appointment  of  an  Archdeacon,  the  regular 
Chaplains,  only  three  in  number,  arc  occupied  elsewhere ;  and 
I  mean  to  propose  to  the  Missionaries  just  arrived,  that  oni  <tf 
their  brethren  should  join  me  in  Kandy,  if  it  be  not  incompa- 
tible with  the  spirit  of  their  instructions. 

I  have  hitherto  been  unwilling  to  peimit  any  Missionary 
to  come  into  the  Kandyan  Territories ;  where  the  bigotted  and 
ignorant  Budhist  People  are  hardly  yet  fit  to  listen  to  a  Chris- 
tian Preacher,  and  where  mischief  might  arise  from  the  jea- 
lousy of  a  powenbl  and  numerous  Priesthood. 


186  NINSTBBNTB  RBVORt/ 

A  geatleinaii  of  such  enlarged  mind  and  sound  diiearetkm 
as  the  Rev.  Mr.  Lambrick  is  described  to  be^  would  be  just 
now  most  advantageously  placed  in  Kandy.  He  would  also 
have  the  best  means  of  acquiring  the  Cingalese  Language; 
and  of  thus  qualifying  himself  to  make  use  of  the  first  oppor- 
tuni^to  address  the  Natives,  which  the  restoration  of  peace 
Willi  1  trust,  ere  long  afford. 

But  this,  or  any  other  proposition,  shall  be  left  to  the 
judgment  of  the  Missionaries  themselves ;  who  will,  no  doubt, 
be  guided  by  their  instructions  from  your  Lordship  and  the 
Society. 

With  the  sincerest  wishes  for  the  success  of  that  Society 
in  the  propagation  of  the  Gospel,  and  for  your  Lordship's  pros- 
perity and  luippiness,  I  have  the  honour  to  be,  with  great  re- 
qieet  and  esteem. 

Your  Lordship's 
Most  obedient  and  humble  servant, 

ROBBRT  BrOWNRIGG. 

Mr.  Bissett's  opinion  of  the  advantages  of  fixing  at 
Kandy  was  also  decisive. 

In  Kandy  (he  wrote  to  Mr.  Lambrick),  there  are  many 
Budhist  Priests,  and  others,  deeply  learned  in  their  omu  lan- 
guage; and  there  are  interpreters  also,  who  are  well  ac- 
quainted with  both  English  and  Cingalese.  I  should  think 
diat  there  is  no  place  in  the  whole  island,  where  the  means 
of  acquiring  the  Cingalese  Language  and  the  power  of  inter- 
medii^  usefulness,  during  the  progress  of  his  studies,  are  so 
oflfered  to  a  Missionary  as  in  that  town. 

The  Missionaries  were  unanimous  in  their  opinion, 
diat  Mr.  Lambrick  should  proceed  to  Kandy.  He 
accordingly  accepted  the  charge.  A  Letter  from  him 
to  the  Secretary,  dated  Kandy,  October  27, 1818,  will 
shew  how  seasonable  was  his  arrival  at  Ceylon,  when  a 
peat  of  such  importance  and  promise  was  so  utterly 
destitute  of  Christian  Instruction. 

I  have  had  full  employment  for  the  exercise  of  my  Ministry 
among  the  numbers  of  our  countrymen  here,  both  civil  and 
military,  and  especiallv  in  the  crowded  Hospitals ;  but  hitherto, 
I  have  been  precluded  from  any  public  Ml^^ionary  Exertions. 

The  town  has  been  almost  wholly  deserted  by  the  Native 


CflTtON  MIMIOK.  Ig9 

Inhabitant!,  ever  eunce  the  Rebellion  broke  out ;  but  we  have 
now  the  greatest  encouragement  to  hope  that  God  is  about 
to  restore  to  us  the  blessings  of  peace;  and  with  it^  the  people 
wiH  return.  I  cannot  be  permitted,  at  present,  to  preach  to 
the  Natives ;  but  I  have  obtained  authority  to  open  Schook ; 
and  have  engaged  two  of  the  Priests  to  be  the  Masters  of  them. 
They  will  conform  to  my  directions. 

I  do  not  propose  to  teach  the  children  English,  in  these  first 
Schools ;  but  hold  this  out,  as  the  reward  of  diligence  and 
good  behaviour,  in  learning  to  read  and  write  their  own  lan- 
guage, and  such  other  things  as  shall  be  required  from  them. 
They  will  be  taught  especisSly  to  read  the  printed  character, 
as  a  step  towards  their  receiving  the  Words  of  Eternal  Idfe. 

A  few  days  ago,  the  Governor,  in  the  prospect  of  the 
Rebellion  bemg  speedily  put  an  end  to,  proposing  to  return 
himself  to  Colombo,  desired  that  I  might  be  asked  whether  I 
would  consent  to  remain  here,  after  he  had  left.  I  took  time 
to  consider  of  it :  and,  after  well  weighing  all  the  circum- 
stances— ^the  superior  advantages  which  I  have  here  for  study- 
ing the  language,  the  prospect  of  a  door  being  opened  for 
£  reaching  the  Gospel  to  tens  of  thousands  who  have  never  yet 
eard  the  joyful  sound,  the  advantage  which  I  have  had  of 
conciliating  the  good-will  of  many  among  the  Priests  and 
Headmen,  whose  influence  is  very  considerable  among  the 
people — these  things  appeared  to  overbalance  all  that  could 
be  urged  on  the  o^er  side  of  the  question.  I  therefore  signi- 
fied my  assent ;  and,  in  consequence,  the  Governor  conferred 
upon  me  the  appointment  of  Assistant  Chaplain  to  the  Forces 
in  Katidy,  wluch,  as  long  as  I  retain  it,  will  save  the  Society 
my  personal  expenses. 

I  am  applying  myself  as  closely  as  possible  to  the  acquire- 
ment of  the  language.  My  progress  is  not  equal  to  my  wishes; 
but  I  hope  to  surmount  its  difficulties,  at  least  so  far  as  to 
deliver  a  written  sermon  in  it  intelligibly,  in  less  than  a 
twelvemonth;  and,  before  that,  [  hope  long  before,  to  be 
permitted  to  preach  to  the  Natives  through  an  interpreter. 

I  need  not,  I  trust,  say  that  I  hold  myself  at  the  disposal  of 
the  Society.  If  they  think  that  I  ought  to  return  to  Colombo, 
I  am  most  ready  to  do  so :  but  if  they  think  that  the  hdd 
which  we  have  on  the  Kandyan  Provinces,  the  head-quarters 
of  Budhism,  which  have  never  yet  been  summoned  to  submit 
to  the  Lord  Christ,  should  not  be  relinquished,  I  hope  they 
will  send  me  a  colleague. 

My  situation  is  desolate  indeed.  I  have  .learned  here  how 
to  estimate  the  value  of  Christian  Intercourse.    How  highly 


19Q  NINXnttNTH   RWOKt. 

should  I  prize  the  advantage  of  one  hour's  conversatioii  in  a 
week  with  a  Christian  Friend! 

I  have  had  several  very  interesting  conversations  with 
Priests  :  two  of  them  have  taken  the  New  Testament,  willi  a 
prombe  to  read  it  attentively. 

Oalle. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mayor  reached  Galle  on  the  5th  c^ 
July,  and  were  received  with  great  hospitality  and 
Idndness  by  the  Chaplain  at  the  Station,  the  Rev.  J* 
M.  S*  Glenie,  and  Mrs.  Glenie ;  and  feel  themselves 
under  great  obligation  to  them  for  their  unwearied 
attcsntion* 

Mr.  Mayor  has  communicated  much  information 
concerning  the  scene  of  his  labours. 

His  view  of  the  state  of  the  people  is  not  very  en- 
counging. 

II  is  not  their  readiness  (he  observes),  to  welcome  the  li^t 
trf*  the  Gospel,  which  must  be  your  inducement  to  send  out 
BK>re  labourers  into  this  extensive  field ;  but  their  great  nded  of 
instruction,  and  the  positive  duty  of  a  Christian  Nation  to  com- 
muiucate  the  knowledge  of  the  only  Saviour  to  all  its  subjects. 
We  have  free  access  to  them,  and  their  pr^udices  against 
Christianity  are  not  deeply  rooted :  they  are  willing  to  have 
their  children  taught  to  read,  and  these  children  have  an  in- 
tellect capable  of  the  highest  cultivation  :  the  Europeans  and 
Headmen  are  favourable  to  the  labours  of  the  Missionary. 
These  are  encouragements  to  persevere,  had  we  not  the  sure 
word  qf  Prophecy^  that  aU  the  ends  of  the  world  shall  remember 
and  Utm  unto  the  Lard,  and  aU  the  kindreds  of  the  nations  shall 
wersMp  b^ore  him.  The  ignorance,  insensibility,  and  indiffer- 
ence of  the  people,  though  they  ought  not  to  make  us  less  ac- 
tive in  obeying  a  positive  command,  would,  of  themselves, 
mudi  diminish  our  expectation  of  success. 

Of  the  sphere  of  his  labours,  Mr.  Mayor  writes — 

In  the  station  which  I  occupy,  there  is  abundant  wt)rtc  for, 
at  least,  ten  zealous  and  self-denying  Missionaries;  and  five 
wrii-:qttalified  Schoolmasters,  who  mij^t  be  employed  fn  esta- 
bliddng  and  discipUxdng  Schools. 


CXTLDH  Mission.  191 

There  «re  opwards  of  3000  Mahomedans  In  Oalle^  who 
speak  Malabar.  At  present,  no  attempt  is  made  to  lead  them 
from  the  paths  of  error  mto  the  way  of  truth  and  peace.  They 
are  persons  of  very  quick  understanding ;  but  so  engrossed  in 
trade,  that  Missionaries  have  hitherto  been  discouraged  from 
using  any  means  to  instruct  them.  Several  of  them  have 
cldl^  on  me,  desiring  me  to  educate  their  sons  in  English.  A 
considerable  number  attend  daily  at  my  house,  together  with 
several  Cingalese  and  a  Budhist  Priest. 

In  the  latter  part  of  October,  Mr.  Mayor  explored 
the  villages  on  tne  banks  of  the  River  Gindra,  to  a  dis- 
tance of  thirty  miles  from  Galle,  which  led  to  the  esta- 
blishment of  various  Schools  among  them.  His  inter- 
course on  this  occasion  with  the  Natives  *  throws  much 
light  on  their  state  of  mind. 

It  may  be  proper,  before  the  Committee  proceed  to 
the  next  station,  to  notice  a  correspondence  with  the 
Chaplain,  Mr.  Glenie. 

Chi  Sir  Alexander  Johnston's  leaving  Ceylon,  Mr. 
Glenie  addressed  a  Letter  to  him,  with  me  view  of  ita 
bdng  laid  before  the  Committee ;  and  also  wrote  a  Let- 
ter to  the  Secretary  on  the  same  subject,  which  was  re- 
ceived about  the  time  of  the  arrival  of  the  Society's  Mis- 
sionaries in  Ceylon.  In  these  communications,  Mr. 
Glenie  called  the  attentiofi  of  the  Committee  to  the 
want  of  institutions  in  the  island  for  the  education  of 
European  Children,  particularly  those  of  the  soldiers, 
the  Regimental  Schools  not  being  adequate  to  the  ne- 
cessihr  of  the  case.  Mr.  Glenie  suggested  three  sepa- 
rate JBstablishments — a  Boarding  School  for  the  Sons 
of  European  Soldiers,  another  for  their  Daughters, 
and  a  third  for  destitute  Burgher  and  Half-Caste 
Children.  He  calculated  that  100/.  per  annum  would 
support,  clothe,  and  purchase  books  for  twenty  chil- 
dren ;  and  that  a  Master,  a  married  man  of  exem- 
plary character,  at  100/.  per  annum,  would  be  required 
for  each  School.  Galle  being  a  very  healthy  situatVHi^ 
such  Soldiers  as  should  wish  it  might  send  their  children

mdier  from  otiber  stations;  It  might  be  hoped  tiiat 
many  of  the  Scholars  would  become,  by  the  blessing 
of  God  on  Christian  Instruction^  useful  and  zealous  la- 
bourers ii^  the  service  of  the  Society. 

Tlie  Committee  transmitted  this  proposal  to  the  So- 
ciety*s  Missionaries ;  desiring  them  to  confer  thereon 
with  Mr.  Glenie,  and  to  report  their  opinion. 

/^alpentyn. 

Mr.  Bissett  favowed  the  Missionaries  with  the  fol- 
lowing information ;  which  led  them  to  exchange  Trin- 
comalee  for  Calpentyn,  as  the  station  of  Mr.  Ward. 

On  the  West  side  of  the  Island,  uearlr  opposite  Trincomale^ 
is  a  tract  of  eountr}^  inhabited  by  a  Malabar  Population,  which 
has  been  much  neglected.  From  Putlam  to  Manar,  a  distance 
of  nearly  seventy  miles,  there  is  no  resident  Christian  Miaister^ 
of  any  kind. 

Manar,  or  Calpentyn,  would  be  a  most  &vourable  spot  for  the 
establishment  of  a  Mission.  There  would  be,  along  the  coast, 
and  in  the  Islands  at  no  great  distance,  a  most  extensive  field 
opened  to  the  labours  of  a  zealous  Missionary.  The  inhabit* 
ants  are  almost  all  Malabar  Natives :  but  few  understand  any 
European  Language ;  and  they  are  at  a  great  distance  from  any 
considerable  European  Settlement.  These  are,  at  once,  the 
reasons  why  they  have  been  hitherto  neglected  by  Misriona- 
ri^,  and  why  I  would  strenuously  recommend  them  to  the 
notice  of  your  Mission.  I  think  there  is  no  part  of  the  Island, 
where,  upon  the  whole,  greater  opportunities  are  oflTered  to 
Missionary  Exertion :  and  I  would  strongly  advise,  that  the 
member  of  your  Mission  who  was  destined  for  Trincomalee^ 
should  be  transferred  to  Manar  or  Calpentyn.  It  would  give 
me  great  pleasure  to  see  a  station,  so  highly  promising  and  so 
kmg  overlooked,  first  occupied  by  a  Missionary,  who  is  a  re- 
gularly ordained  Clergyman  of  the  Established  Church. 

In  conformity  with  this  recommendation,  Manar  was 
thought  of  as  Mr.  Ward*s  station ;  but,  in  order  to  a 
final  determination,  he  visited  the  place,  dming  Mrs. 
Ward*s  confinement  at  Colombo,  and  ascertained  the 
expediency  of  set^ng  at  Cahientyn,  which  was  accord* 
ii^y  fixed  on  as  his  place  of  rendence.

.  He  will  have  access,  from  this  station,  to  three  IXs- 
tricts,  extending  more  than  100  miles  along  the  coast^ 
with  a  population  of  upwards  of  40,000  persons,  desti- 
tute, at  present,  of  proper  religious  instruction.  Mr. 
Ward  presses  earnestly  for  assistance  ;  as  it  will  be  im- 
practicable for  one  Missionaiy  to  exercise  any  adequate 
superintendence  over  a  population  scattered  along  such 
an  extent  of  country. 

There  is  a  good  prospect  of  establishing  schools,  in 
the  different  villages  connected  with  this  station ;  and 
a  veiy  prevalent  desire  among  the  natives  to  learn  the 
English  Language.  Mr.  Ward  proposes  to  train  up 
some  Schoolmasters,  from  among  the  Natives,  in  the 
knowledge  of  the  National  System.  A  Malabar  School, 
of  forty-four  Boys — Protestants,  Roman  Catholics, 
Mahomedans,  and  Gentoos — is  under  his  superinten- 
dence ;  the  Master  of  which  is  on  the  Government  Esta- 
blishment: it  might  soon  be  increased  to  100  Boys. 
Mr.  Ward  had  opened  an  English  School,  in  his  own 
house,  for  the  instruction  of  children  of  the  higher 
castes.  Mrs.  Ward  hopes  to  succeed,  in  time,  in  the 
establishment  of  a  Female  School:  at  present,  the 
people  smile  at  such  an  imusual  proposal ! 

Galpentyn  is  about  90  or  100  miles  from  Colombo, 
and  the  same  distance  from  Jaffiiapatam.  lliere  are 
some  Protestants  among  the  inhabitants;  but  the 
greater  part  of  the  people  are  Roman  Catholics,  Maho- 
medans, and  Gentoos.  On  Sunday  mornings,  Mr. 
Ward  preaches,  for  the  present,  by  means  of  an  inter- 
preter, in  an  old  Dutch  Church ;  and,  in  the  evenings, 
m  English,  in  his  own  house.  He  laments  the  indif- 
ference of  the  Native  Protestants  to  Public  Worship. 
On  this  subject,  he  writes : — 

I  might  get  an  order  from  the  Modliar,  or  Headman,  for 
them  to  attend ;  in  which  case,  the  church  would  he  filled : 
but  I  would  rather  tlxat  they  should  come  of  their  own  accordy 
or  by  persuasion.  Such  is  the  state  of  moral  depression  in 
which  the  Natives  are  sunk,  that  they  have  little  idea  of  doing 
any  thing,  unless  they  are  ordei^  to  do  it.  I  hope  soon  to  go  out 
into  the  highways  and  hedges,  and  compel  them  to  come  in.  In

the  mean  tinief  I  feel  desirous  tx>  improve  every  opportunity^ 
both  pubUcly  and  privately^  to  testify  the  Gospel  of  the  Grace  qf 
God. 


Some  remarks  of  Mr.  Mayor  on  the  awful  delusions 
of  our  fellow- subjects,  the  Natives  of  this  fine  island, 
may  serve  to  quicken  the  prayers  and  exertions  of 
Christians  for  their  deliverance  from  the  power  of 
darkness : — 

I  believe  that  Budhism  is  on  the  decline  in  this  island — not 
that  it  is  yet  yielding  to  the  Cross  of  Christ — the  preaching  of 
the  glorious  Gospel  ofihe  Blessed  God,  Most  heartily  do  I  wish 
'that  such  a  statement  could  be  made.  Few,  comparatively 
very  few,  of  the  Natives  have  ever  heard  a  single  sermon ; 
find  how  shall  they  believe  in  Him,  of  whom  they  have  not  heard  I 
.They  are  not  relinquishing  the  worship  of  Budhu,  for  the  wor- 
ship of  the  only  true  God ;  but  for  the  worship  of  Devils,  The 
Devil  is  regarded  by  the  greater  part  of  the  Cingalese  as  the 
author  of  all  temporal  evil :  and,  therefore,  when  in  health,  they 
attend  the  ceremonies  of  his  Priests,  and  offer  gifts  of  money  or 
rice,  that  he  may  be  propitious  toward  them ;  and  inlSict  no  evil 
on  theip  himself,  nor  permit  inferior  devils  to  hurt  them :  when 
sick,  they  either  come  to  the  Devil's  dance  themselves,  or  send 
by  others,  and  make  their  offerings  to  the  Prince  of  Darkness; 
and  vow,  that,  in  case  of  recovery,  they  will  perform  some  pe- 
culiar service  for  his  goodness  toward  them.  One  man  vowed, 
for  instance,  that  he  would  constantly  keep  a  lamp  burning  in 
the  midst  of  a  field— a  light  which  could  benefit  no  human 
•  being,  but  which  burns  as  a  witness  that  darkness  covers  the 
land,  and  gross  darkness  the  people. 

AUSTRALASIA  MISSION. 

In  reviewing  the  circumstances  of  this  Mission,  the 
Committee  will  first  call  the  attention  of  the  Members 
to  the  assistance  rendered  to  it  from  home, 

The  visit  of  two  Young  Chiefs  to  this  country  was 
mentioned  in  the  last  Report,  and  testimony  was  borne 
to  their  amiable  dispositions.  The  Committee  regret 
.to  state,  that  the  necessity  of  their  early  return  to  their 
own  country  which  was  then  anticipated,  has  been  re- 
alized. Then*  departure  for  New  Zealand  has  been  al- 
ready stated.    The  presiervatlon  of  their  yaluable  lives 


AVfnULABU  lf|a«ION.  IIP 

seemed  to  depend,  under  the  blessing  of  God,  on  tjneir 
restoration  to  their  native  climate.  The  Committee 
speak  of  their  lives  as  valuable^  because  they  have  the 
best  reason  to  hope  that  they  will  become^  if  spared,  a 
real  blessing  to  their  countrymen. 

It  became  necessary,  therefore,  for  the  preservation 
of  their  lives  until  an  opportunity  should  occur  for  thei): 
return,  to  give  them  the  advantage  of  a  residence  in  thj^ 
countrVf  They  accordingly  spent  several  months  in 
Sbropsmre,  under  the  more  immediate  care  of  the  Rey. 
George  Mortimer,  of  Madeley ;  from  whom,  and  from 
the  Rev.  John  Eyton,  of  Wellington,  and  from  many 
other  friends,  they  received  the  most  affectionate  ai> 
tention.  Mr.  Francis  Hall  accompanied  them  to  Shropr 
shire;  and  displayed,  in  the  instruction  of  them,  thf 
most  unwearied  kindness.  In  Shropshire,  they  had  an 
opportunity  of  witnessing  operations,  particularly  eiiU 
cutated  to  gratify  their  curiosity  and  enlarge  their 
minds :  the  Coal,  Iron,  and  China  Works  of  that  county 
filled  them  with  astonishment  and  delight,  and  madf 
ihem  deeply  to  feel  the  wants  of  their  own  country*. 

These  Young  Chiefs  addressed  Letters  to  seveml 
friends,  expressing,  in  very  simple  and  touching  Ian* 
guage,  theur  gratitude  for  the  kindness  shewn  to  them^ 
det^ng  many  objects  which  they  had  seen,  and  mani* 
festing  a  very  promising  state  of  mind  -♦•. 

The  Clergyman  mentioned  in  the  last  Report  m 
devoting  himself  to  the  objects  of  the  Society  in  New 
Zealand^  has  been  oblicfed  to  forego  his  purpose  ;  r^ 
gretting,  in  a  truly  Christian  Spirit,  the  necessity  which 
he  felt  laid  on  him  of  thus  sacrificing  a  plan  which  he 
had  long  cherished  in  his  mind. 

The  Committee,  in  consequence,  looked  out  for  on* 
who  might  take  on  himself  the  Pastoral  Charge  of  th« 
Infant  Settlement.    The  Rev.  John  Butler  was  accord-

iDgly  appointed  to  proceed  thither  with  that  view.  The 
wishes  of  the  Committee  respecting  Mr.  Butler  and 
his  companions^  ma^be  seen  in  the  Instructions  deli- 
voed  to  them.  Their  embarkation  on  board  the 
Baring  has  been  akeady  mentioned. 

While  the  Baring  was  refitting  at  Chatham,  after  re- 
ceiving some  damage  in  the  River,  Tooi  became  so  ill 
that  his  life  was  considered  in  imminent  danger.  The 
Assistant-Secretary,  with  another  friend,  visited  him 
while  in  this  state.  He  was  deeply  affected  at  the  inter- 
view ;  and  gave  the  most  satisfactory  evidence  of  having 
received  a  blessing  fix)m  God  on  his  affliction.  His 
strength  was,  however,  so  far  restored,  that  he  re-em- 
barked with  his  friends,  and  began  to  manifest  consider- 
able improvement  in  his  health. 

The  idndest  attention  was  paid  to  the  Missionaries 
and  Chiefs,  by  the  Heads  of  Departments  at  Chatham. 

Of  Mr.  Butler's  companions,  Mr.  Francis  Hall  was 
mentioned  in  the  last  Report :  his  unwearied  attention 
to  Tooi  and  Teeterree,  and  his  fixed  and  exemplary  cha- 
laeter,  encourage  the  hope  in  your  Committee,  that  his 
services  among  the  New  Zealanders  will  be  rendered  a 
real  blessing  to  them.  James  Kemp,  from  Wymond- 
ham,  was  strongly  recommended  by  the  Clergymen  of 
that  parish,  who  are  zealous  Members  of  the  Society: 
he  has  proceeded,  in  a  truly  Christian  Spirit,  as  a  Smith 
attached  to  the  Settlement ;  and  was  nimished,  by  an 
intelligent  fiiend,  with  many  practical  instructions  in 
agricidture,  which  may  prove  highly  beneficial  to  the 
•ettlers. 

Tlie  Committee  will  proceed  to  report  the  state  of 
of  the  Seminary,  established  by  Mr.  Marsden  at  Parra- 
matta^  the  place  of  his  own  residence  in  New  South 
Wales. 

This  Senunary,  formed  for  the  instruction  of  New 
Zealanders,  was  mentioned  in  the  last  Report.  The 
aubserviency  of  such  a,Seminary  to  the  plans  of  the  So- 
dety  in  reference  to  New  Zealand  is  obvious ;  as  no- 
thing can  have  a  more  direct  tendency,  according  to 

tte  just  sentiment  of  Mr.  Marsden^  to  enlarge  the 


AUiTBALASIA  IflMlOK.  IVf 

minds  of  meh  in  the  situation  of  the  natives  of  New 
Zealand^  than  to  witness  the  advantages  of  eivilijsed 
life. 

In  May  of  last  year,  there  were  Twelve  Natives  of  New 
Zealand  in  the  Seminary,  occupied  in  the  acquisition  of 
the  useful  Arts.  Some  of  these  men  were  kept  eon- 
fitantly  at  rope-making  and  twine-spinning ;  as  thdr 
own  flax  will  probably  become,  at  no  very  distant  daj,. 
an  object  of  great  importance.  Nine  of  these  Natives 
were  about  to  return  to  New  Zealand  on  board  the 
Active. 

In  September,  the  number  of  Natives  in  the  Seminary 
was  six.  Two  had  sailed  for  England,  a  short  time 
before,  in  the  Clau<Kne :  these  were  the  last  whom  Mr. 
Marsden  intended  should  be  allowed  to  visit  this 
country. 

#Mr.  Marsden  considers  it  of  great  importance  to  canr 
tinue  this  Seminary  for  the  benefit  of  the  New  Zealand- 
ers ;  and  proposes  to  improve  it,  and  extend  its  scale. 
It  is  his  intention  to  put  it  on  such  a  footing,  that  the 
Natives  who  enter  it  may  be  employed,  partly  in  agri- 
culture and  gardening,  and  partly  in  learning  the  simfde 
Arts,  combined  with  moral  and  religious  instruction. 

Before  the  Conmiittee  proceed  to  report  the  actual 
state  of  the  Settlement  at  the  Bay  of  Islands,  they  beg 
to  renew  the  acknowledgments  of  the  Society  to  its 
able  and  unwearied  friend  Mr.  Marsden,  not  only  for 
his  measures  at  Parramatta  in  reference  to  New  Zea- 
land, but  for  the  watchful  eye  which  he  keeps  on  the 
interests  of  the  Mission,  ana  the  judicious  steps  taken 
by  him  in  its  favour. 

Messrs.  Carlisle  and  Gordon,  mentioned  in  the  last 
Report,  proceeded,  with  their  families,  in  the  Active, 
from  Port  Jackson  to  the  Bay  of  Islands,  in  the  latter 
part  of  April,  1817.  They  were  accompanied  by  mi. 
Natives  of  New  Zealand,  some  of  whom  had  been  at 
Parramatta  a  year  and  a  half. 

Several  head .  of  horned  cattle  were  stent  over,  the 
advantages  to  be  expected  from  which  were  stated  in 
the  last  Report.    ^^  Milfc,  butter^  beef,  and  labousT 


Mr.  Mufsden  sayd,  "  the^e  cattle  will  soon  produce  tb 
ffie  inhabitants  ;  and  if  the  number  of  settlers  should 
be  increased,  they  will  greatly  prom  ote  their  siq[>port 
j(tid  epmfort." 

Fruit-trees,  of  Various  kinds,  have  also  been  sent  over 
ly  Mt.  Marsden.  The  settlers  have  peaches  in  per- 
iS^oti.  He  thinks  vines  will  siicceed ;  and  will  send 
§ver^  from  time  to  time,  plants  of  different  sorts  In 
^der  ttf  the  fiiture  benefit  of  the  settlors  and  natives. 

In  May,  of  last  year,  Mr.  Marsden  was  about  to  send 
a  person  to  New  Zealand,  in  order  to  make  a  trial  of 
Mdting  and  curing  fish.  Great  advantage  to  the  people 
Ifliiy  be  expected  thereby,  from  the  abundance  of  fish 
dft  their  chores. 

Mr.  Martden  had  with  him,  in  the  same  month,  a 
Chief  from  the  River  Thames,  who  was  anxious  for 
dome  settlers  to  live  among  them,  on  that  part  of  the 
4oast. 

Mr.  Marsden  wished  to  Visit  the  settlers  i^in ;  and 
ititetided,  when  he  should  be  able  to  accomplish  his  de- 
i3gn,  to  examine  more  fiilly  than  he  had  done  into  the 
ttroductions  and  population  of  the  country,  particularly 
m  the  interior. 

In  reporting  the  proceedings  at  the  Bay  of  Islands, 
the  Committee  will  first  refer  to  the  state  of  the  Schools. 

Mr.  Kendall  and  Mr.  Carlisle  have  paid  every  atten- 
tion to  the  education  of  the  Native  Children  which  cir- 
cumstances would  allow. 

The  School  Was  opened  in  August  1816,  with  33 
ehildren :  in  September,  there  were  47  ;  and  in  Octo- 
ber, 51.  In  November  and  December,  there  being  no 
provisions  for  the  children,  they  were  scattered  abroad 
m  search  of  food.  In  January,  1817,  the  number  was 
60 ;  ui  February,  58 ;  in  March,  63 ;  and  in  April,  70. 
These  Are  the  latest  returns  of  numbers  which  have 
arrived.' 

At  first  the  girls  were  double  in  number  to  the 
boys ;  but,  latterly,  they  became  nearly  eoual.  The 
«ge  of  the  children  was  generally  from  7  to  17.  Among 
QiMBi  were  174ir^haBlb  <Mid  6  slaves  which  had  been 


tftk^  in  war.  Several  sons  of  Chiefs  were  among  the 
scholars ;  and  one  of  them,  Atowha,  son  of  the  late 
Tippahee,  began,  after  a  few  months,  to  act  as  Assist- 
€Uit  in  the  School. 

The  regularity*  of  attendance  depends  much  on  the* 
supplies  of  food  at  the  disposal  of  the  settlers  for  the 
use  of  the  scholars.  At  the  close  of  1816,  when  they 
were  obliged  to  repair  to  the  rivers  and  woods,  in 
search  of  nsh,  cockles,  and  fern-root,  they  would  have 
gladly  dispensed  with  this  labour ;  for  when  supplies 
unexpectedly  arrived  toward  the  end  of  December, 
"  the  welcome  news,'*  says  Mr.  Kendall,  "  was  soon 
published  throughout  the  neighbourhood,  when  the 
native  children  assembled  together,  and  manifested 
their  joy  by  singing  and  dancing.  They  immediately 
repaired  to  the  School-house  ;  where  they  remained 
day  and  night,  repeating  their  lessons  with  cheerfid- 
ness,  and  content  with  what  was  given  them." 

Mr.  Kendall's  kindness  and  patience  had,  therefore, 
by  this  time  wrought  a  manifest  improvement  in  his 
vagrant  scholars.  He  draws  a  singular  but  very  natural 
picture  of  their  wild  habits  when  he  first  gathered  them 
out  of  the  woods  :* — 

While  one  child  (he  says)  is  repeating  his  lesson,  another 
will  be  playing  with  my  feet,  another  taking  away  my  hat, 
and  another  my  book ;  and  all  this  in  ttie  most  friendly  manner. 
I  cannot  be  angry  with  them ;  but  it  requires  some  study,  how 
best  to  introduce  a  salutary  discipline  among  them. 

During  the  first  four  months,  my  little  wild  pupils  were  all 
noise  and  play.  We  could  scarcely  hear  them  read,  for  their 
incessant  shouting,  singing,  and  dancing.  The  first  month, 
they  were  brought  to  repeat  their  lessons  in  the  School-hous6 
very  well ;  but  we  soon  had  to  follow  them  into  the  woods.  1 
had  no  command  over  them,  at  that  time;  having  neithef 
provisions  nor  rewards  to  give  them.  Since  I  received  these^ 
my  authority  and  influence  have  been  greatly  augmented,  and 
I  can  command  their  attention. 

The  children  rise  at  day-light,  according  to  the  ge- 
neral custom  of  the  Natives.  They  finish  their  monvr 
ing  lessons  at  an  early  hour.    The  children  of  tixe

Settlers  are  instructed  in  the  middle  part  of  the  day. 
In  the  afternoon,  the  Native  Children  come  to  school 
affain.  They  generally  receive,  when  there  are  pro- 
visions for  them,  a  handful  of  potatoes  each,  twice 
a-day^  which  they  cook  themselves  as  they  please  ;  and 
are  occasionally  served  with  fish. 

The  Girls  make  their  own  apparel,  after  their  country 
ftshion ;  and  the  Boys  make  fences,  and  do  other  use- 
ful work :  a  few  of  them  learn  to  dress  and  spin  flax. 
A  number  of  mats  for  clothing,  made  of  the  flax  of  the 
country,  the  first  manufacture  of  the  female  scholars, 
have  been  sent  to  the  Society.  After  a  while  the  Boys  be- 
gan to  learn  to  write ;  and  specimens  of  their  writing  have 
been  received,  which  show  a  degree  of  skill  quite  equal, 
if  not  decidedly  superior,  to  that  of  a  School  of  English 
'Roys  under  similar  circumstances.  ITiey  have  learnt 
some  of  the  amusements  of  European  Children — 
spinning-tops  in  winter,  and  flying  kites  in  summer ; 
and  are  fond  of  singing  and  dancing  all  the  year 
round. 

The  names  of  the  Natives  appear  generally  to  be  sig- 
nificative of  some  circumstances  or  objects  connected 
with  their  character  or  family.  There  is  a  very  amusing 
collection  of  Significations  in  the  names  of  the  Children 
in  the  Schools.  Some  are  called  after  Numbers :  as, 
«  Atoo"— Two  ;  "  Awha"— Four ;  "  Atouatahi"— The 
iPlrst  Year,  or  bom  the  first  year  after  marriage; 
*^  Atougnahoodoo" — ^Ten  Years,  or  born  Ten  Years 
after  the  eldest  son.  Others  are  named  after  Natural 
objects  ;  as, "  Atowha" — a  Tree  so  called ;  "  Depero" — 
the  name  of  a  certain  Sandy  Beach.  Other  names 
seem  to  be  taken  firom  tempers  and  dispositions  ;  as, 

Atooma** — To  look  another   sternly  in  the   face; 

Akahe**— To  stamp  with  the  foot ;  "  Aweddee '— To 
tremble  with  rage.  Some  seem  to  derive  their  appella- 
tions from  circiunstances  in  the  history  of  their  family : 
as,  "  Pakekooda** — ^To  dig  fern-root  out  of  red  soil,  the 
Boy's  grandfiither  having  been  killed  while  digging 
fero-root. 

TheK  Schools  will  be  cherished  by  the  Society,  and

extended  to  the  utmost.    They  are  manifestly  worldnir 
with  rapidity  on  the  minds  of  the  Natives.     '        *^ 

None  of  the  Adults  are  adverse  to  the  education  of 
their  Children ;  but  they  consider  it  likely  to  advance 
their  interest    The  Chiefs  at  a  distance  do  not  object' 
to  entrust  their  Children  to  the  Settlers. 

Many  Chiefs  visit  the  Settlement,  with  large  parties 
of  attendants ;  and  usually  conduct  themselves,  both 
toward  one  another  and  toward  the  Settlers,  in  the 
most  friendly  manner.  On  one  occasion,  indeed,  a 
Chief  became  very  troublesome  and  boisterous,  because 
he  could  not  obtain  an  article  which  he  wanted  in  ex* 
change  for  Hogs  and  Potatoes  which  he  had  brought 
with  him,  such  article  not  being  then  in  the  Settlement: 
Mr.  Kendall  endeavoured  to  pacify  him,  but  in  vain  ; 
on  his  learning,  however,  from  some  of  the  Children, 
that  his  conduct  had  agitated  and  distressed  Mr.  Ken- 
dall, immediately,  with  the  characteristic  feeling  and 
.generosity  of  his  countrjonen,  he  ordered  his  Hogs  and 
Potatoes  to  be  brought  to  the  house,  and  told  Mr.  Ken- 
dall that  he  was  ashamed  of  his  ingratitude  and  would 
give  his  provisions  for  nothing,  promising  to  abstain 
from  all  threatening  language  in  future,  and  leaving  his 
Son,  as  a^pledge  of  his  friendship,  under  Mr.  Kendall's 
care. 

In  reference  to  the  state  of  the  Settlement  itself,  it 
appears  that,  at  the  close  of  last  year,  all  the  buildings 
were  completed  which  were  required  by  the  Settlers 
then  at  Ranghee-Hoo ;  and  that  land  had  been  cleared, 
in  sufficient  quantity  to  raise  crops  for  their  o\vn  con- 
sumption. 

The  Masters  of  Whalers  had,  from  time  to  time,  re- 
ported to  Mr.  Marsden  very  favourably  of  the  state  of 
the  Settlement. 

The  Settlers  joined  in  Public  Worship,  twice  on  the 
Sundays ;  and  met  also  on  Wednesday  Evenings,  for 
the  purpose  of  reading  the  Scriptures  and  praying  for 
the  Divine  Blessing  on  their  labours.  Many  Natives 
attended  Public  Worship  on  Sundays. 

The  clhnate  was  founds  by  increasing  experience,  to 


be  botii  healthy  and  agreeable ;  ndther  excesrite  heat 
nor  excessive  cold  being  known. 

Mr.  Kendall  has  been  diligently  labouring  in  the  pre- 
paration of  Elementary  Books^  for  the  use  of  the  Na- 
tives. It  was  stated  in  the  last  Report^  that  the  Com- 
mittee hoped  to  avail  themselves,  through  Mr.  Lee,  of 
tlie  viut  of  Tooi  and  Teeterree  to  this  country,  in  assist- 
Iiig  to  fix,  on  just  principles,  the  spelling,  pronuncia- 
tion, and  construction  of  the  Language  of  New  Zealand. 
Some  progress  has  been  made  herein;  and  the  re- 
sults have  been  forwarded  to  New  Zealand. 

It  is,  indeed,  only  from  the  blessing  of  God  on  a 
long  and  patient  course  of  labour,  that  the  success  of 
a  Mussion,  among  a  people  like  the  New  Zealanders, 
can  be  expected.    Nlr.  Kendall  very  justly  remarks — 

We  must  aim  at  a  gradual  improvement  of  their  condition ; 
Off  in  other  words,  we  mnst  encourage  them  to  improvb 
TSBMSBLVKs.  Mauv  things,  in  their  dress  and  customs,  must 
be  patiendy  overlooked  now,  which,  if  it  shall  please  God  to 
prosper  our  efforts,  we  shall  find  it  our  duty  to  attempt  here- 
after to  correct  and  improve. 

WheUvthe  Word  of  God  shall  be  made  known  to  them,  that 
will  form  the  foundation  for  all  that  is  excellent  to  be  built 
upon  i  and,  while  things,  which  are  of  real  importance  in  their 
proper  place,  are  not  lost  sight  of,  we  must  direct  our  chief 
attention  to  such  things  as  may  most  directly  assist  us  in  the 
attainment  of  this  greatest  of  all  objects — the  preparing  for 
the  people  of  New  Zealand  this  Sure  Guide  from  a  World  of 
Sorrow  to  a  World  of  Glory. 

It  is  by  die  gradual  difiusion  among  them  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  ruin  and  recovery  of  mankind,  and 
the  communication  to  them  of  the  Arts  of  primary  im- 
portance to  social  happiness,  that  the  New  Zealanders 
are  to  be  weaned  from  their  warlike  habits  and  their 
superstitions. 

In  the  midst  however,  of  these,  their  fidelity  and 
affection  continue  to  manifest  themselves. 

In  the  beginning  of  1817,  a  Naval  Expedition,  under 
the  command  of  Shunghee,  sailed  from  the  Bay  of 
Idaiids.    It  connated  of  30  canoes  and  about  800  men. 


Its  object  was  to  obtain  a  peace  with  Shunghee^s  ene-* 
mies  at  the  North  Cape.  The  Chief  took  an  affecticoi* 
ate  leave  of  the  Settlers ;  and  told  them^lhaty  if  he  fell, 
they  must  be  kind  to  his  children ;  and  if  he  survived, ' 
he  would  take  care  of  their  families  when  they  should 
die.  The  expedition  returned,  however,  in  about  a' 
fortnight,  his  people  having  quarrelled  with  those  of 
Whangorooa,  mto  which  place  they  had  put  for  refresh- 
ments ;  and  being  afraid,  he  said,  that  the  Whangorooa 
people  would  attack  the  Settlers  in  his  absence,  he  for 
thepresent  abandoned  the  expedition. 

The  superstitions  of  this  noble  race  cannot  be  con- 
templated without  commiseration. 

A  Christian  Assembly  (says  Mr.  Kendall)  could  not  tolerate 
the  recital  of  cases,  a  variety  of  which  might  be  brought  for- 
ward to  shew  in  what  a  sad  state  of  captivity  the  Great  De- 
ceiver of  Mankind  holds  this  people.  In  the  time  of  sickness, 
and  the  near  prospect  of  death,  their  situation  is  truly  distress- 
ing. They  will  pray,  and  that  sincerely ;  but,  how  dreadful  are 
their  petitions !  The  most  respectable  characters  among  them 
will  use  words,  with  the  utmost  fervor  of  soul,  of  neaily  th^ 
same  import  in  the  English  Tongue,  as  the  most  hardened 
sinner  in  a  Christian  Land  would  shudder  at,  in  the  time  of 
severe  illness  or  at  his  dying  hour. 

One  of  our  Scholars,  for  instance,  was  taken  very  ill.  I  heard 
the  prayers  of  his  Father  over  him,  and  saw  his  motions.  The 
poor  blind  Parent,  instead  of  importiming  the  Supreme  Beings 
as  one  would  have  imagined,  for  the  recovery  of  his  Son,  was 
uttering  the  most  dreadful  cilrses  and  imprecations  against 
Him.  When  I  asked  him  his  reason  for  the  use  of  such  Ian** 
guage,  he  replied,  it  was  a  good  thin^  at  New  Zealand  :  he  did 
it  to  frighten  the  "  Atua"  away,  who  would,  otherwise  very 
probably  have  destroyed  his  Son.  The  boy  had  been  out  in  the 
rain  a  whole  day,  and  had  caught  a  severe  cold ;  but  the  Na- 
tives will  not  allow  that  heat  or  cold  can  hurt  a  man.  They 
ascribe  every  pain  they  feel  to  the  "  Atua,"  who,  they  say,  is 
preying  upon  them.  They  consider  the  Supreme  Being  as  an 
invisible  Anthropophagus,  or  Man-eater;  and  regard  him  with 
a  mixture  of  fear  and  hatred — ^betraying  impatience  and  anger 
whenever  they  are  visited  by  sickness. 

Pride  and  ignorance,  crudty  and  licentiousness,  are  some  of 
the  principal  ingredients  in  H  New  2ealander^8  Helicon.    He 


904  NIKSTBBKTH  RBPORTr 

does  not,  so  fiu*  as  I  can  learn,  bow  down  to  a  stock  or  a  stone ; 
but  he  magnifies  himself  into  a  god.  The  Chiefs  and  Elders  of 
the  people  are  called  "  Atuas/'  even  while  they  are  living. 
Our  aged  friend  Terra  says,  that  the  God  of  Thunder  is  in  his 
forehead.  Shunghee  and  Okeda  tell  me,  that  they  are  pos- 
s^sed  with  Gods  of  the  Sea.  When  the  clouds  are  beautifully 
checkered,  the  "  Atua"  above,  it  is  supposed,  is  planting  sweet 
potatoes.  At  the  season  when  these  are  planted  in  the  ground, 
the  planters  dress  themselves  in  their  best  raiment ;  and  say, 
thatas  "Atuas"  on  earth  they  are  imitating  the  "  Atua"  in  heaven. 
The  lands  are,  from  that  time,  considered  sacred,  until  the 
flweet  potatoe  crops  are  taken  up.  No  person  presumes  to  go 
upon  them,  except  such  as  are  consecrated  for  the  purpose  of 
weeding  and  inspecting  them. 

Among  such  a  people,  as  has  been  before  observed, 
no  salutary  change  can  be  expected,  but  from  the  bless- 
ing of  God  on  the  persevering  labours  of  his  servants. 

And  that  this  change  is  gradually  taking  place,  there 
is  abundant  reason  to  be  satisfied. 

We  can  now  rejoice  (Mr.  Wm.  Hall  writes)  that,  through  the 
Grace  of  God,  the  Great  Enemy  has  lost  his  ground  very  much, 
among  the  poor  dark-minded  Heathen  around  us.  Some  of 
them  are  living  with  us,  who  formerly  used  to  break  down  our 
fences,  and  abuse  us,  and  steal  and  cany  away  every  article 
that  they  could  get  hold  of.  But  now  we  can  see  a  wonderful 
alteration  in  them :  they  are  become  quite  familiar  and  so- 
ciable :  they  live  among  us,  and  work  with  us ;  and  we  can 
almost  say  of  some  of  them,  that  he  that  stole  steals  no  more. 

You  will  rejoice  with  me  (says  Mr.  Kendall)  at  the  opening 
prospects  of  usefulne^  among  this  noble  race.  The  Society 
will  be  the  means,  I  trust,  under  the  blessing  of  God,  of  raising 
the  people  of  New  Zealand  from  that  low  and  degraded  con- 
dition in  which  they  lie  through  their  ignorance  of  Him,  and 
of  bringing  many  to  eternal  happiness. 

• 

Mr.  Marsden  writes,  with  his  accustomed  animation — 

I  believe  that  the  time  is  now  come,  for  these  Nations  to  be 
called  into  the  Outward  Church,  at  least.  The  way  is  clear  : 
and  Divine  Goodness  will  provide  the  means  for  their  instruc- 
tion. I  admit  that  many  difficulties  will  be  met  with  on  all 
jmtried  ground ;  and  that  the  wisest  men  will  sometimes  mis- 


WB8T  indies' MIS8I0K.1  906 

take,  in  their  views  of  accomplishing  their  objects,  i^th  re- 
spect to  a  Nation  which  has  hstd  no  intercourse  with  the  Civi- 
lized World :  yet  these  difficulties  will  be  overcome,  under  the 
blessing  of  God,  by  constant  perseverance ;  and  I  have  no  doubt 
but  that  this  will  be  the  c^ise,  in  the  present  instance,  witibi 
regard  to  New  Zealand.  Time  will  make  this  matter  more 
easy.  The  wor(c  is  now  begun :  the  foundation  is  now  laid : 
and  I  hope  we  shall  soon  see  the  structure  rise. 


WEST  INDIES  MISSION. 

It  is  not  to  be  wondered  at,  under  the  circumstances 
of  the  White  Population  of  the  West  Indies,  that  many 
are  reluctant  to  admit  the  probability  of  benefit  from 
the  education  of  the  Slaves.  These  persons  will  meet, 
attempts  of  this  nature  with  indiilerence ;  and,  not 
unfrequently,  with  contempt  and  hostility ;  and  that  so 
deeply  rooted,  that  even  the  sanction  of  high  authority 
to  such  measures  will  not  soften  the  prejudice  of  some 
minds.  This  is  as  impolitic  and  unwise  in  reference  to 
even  present  and  temporal  interests,  as  it  is  likely  to 
bring  down  the  retributive  justice  of  Heaven  for  the 
neglect  of  a  plain  and  solemn  obligation. 

This  prejudice  is,  indeed,  silently  wearing  away ;  and 
the  number  of  Planters  is  gradually  increasing,  who, 
some  from  the  highest  motives  and  others  from  a  con- 
viction of  its  salutary  influence  on  the  mind  and  con- 
duct, are  favourable  to  the  instruction  of  their  Slaves. 
A  conviction  is  gaining  ground,  most  advantageous  to 
the  interests  of  aU  parties,  of  the  inefficacy  of  human  re- 
straints and  punishments  to  produce  that  uniform  obe- 
dience which  is  seen  in  well-instructed  and  religious 
Slaves. 

'  Every  well-conducted  School,  established  in  any  of 
the  Islands,  is  operating  a  beneficial  change  on  the 
minds  of  those  who  witness  its  influence.  When,  in 
this  way,  the  Planters  come  to  recognize  the  positive 
advantages  which  will  follow  to  their  interests  and  com- 
forts by  the  education  of  their  Slaves  in  Christian  Prin- 
ciples^ they  will  not  leave  tiie  benevolence  of  others  to 


906  NDfSTBSNTP  BSPOitT. 

> 

be  taxed  for  its  support.  Till  then,  the  Christians  of 
this  country  will  cheerfully  contribute  to  the  establish- 
ment and  maintenance  oi  efficient  Schools ;  not  only 
for  the  actual  benefit  of  the  Scholars  themselves,  but 
to  demonstrate  to  their  Owners  that  he  who  neglects 
the  religious  education  of  his  Slaves  neglects  his  own 
interests  as  well  as  duty. 

The  Committee  are  enabled  to  testify,  from  past  ex- 
perience, that,  by  means  of  Schools  in  the  West  Indies, 
when  properly  conducted,  a  most  beneficial  change  is 
taking  place  in  the  state  of  morals.  There  are,  indeed, 
difficulties  of  a  peculiar  nature  to  contend  with,  in  all 
Colonies  where  Slavery  prevails  ;  and  which  require 
tiie  maintenance  of  a  nrm,  and  apparently  severe  dis- 
oipline.  Among  other  regulations,  for  example,  for  the 
promotion  of  good  morals,  it  has  been  found  requisite 
tp  refiise  re^dmission  to  the  Schools  to  any  female  who 
may  have  suffered  herself  to  be  seduced  from  the  paths 
of  yirtue.  This  rule,  as  it  may  be  easily  conceived, 
has  been  found  necessary  in  a  state  of  society,  where 
the  sin  of  unchastity  has  almpst  lost,  among  this  class 
of  persons,  all  character  of  guilt  and  shame.  The  su- 
perintendents are  sometimes  imder  the  painful  necessity 
oi  making  examples  of  the  elder  females :  and  this, 
under  peculiarly  distressing  circumstances ;  for  their 
very  parents  have  not  always  courage  to  resist,  with 
sufficient  firmness,  the  surrender  of  tneir  daughters. 

Much  good  has,  however,  been  effected.  The  stand- 
ard of  moral  feeling  has  been  raised.  A  barrier  has 
been  opposed  to  the  overwhelming  torrent,  and  means 
of  escape  from  it  provided.  The  marriages  of  Young 
People  one  with  another,  have  been  promoted ;  it  hav- 
ing been  happily  decided  by  Authority,  that  the  notion, 
long  prevalent,  that  Slaves  were  incapable  of  contract- 
ing marriage  and  more  especially  without  the  con- 
sent of  their  Owners,  has  no  foundation  whatever  in 
law.  Young  Women  have  been,  accordingly,  happily 
married  to  sober  and  well-disposed  Young  Men  of  Co- 
iQur ;  and  the  number  of  such  marriages  is  continually 

increasing.

In  the  support  and  direction  of  these  Schpols,  the

junction with  the  English-Harbour  Sunday-School 
Society.  The  Patroness  of  that  Institution  is  the  Hon. 
Lady  6rey;  and  its  President,  Mr.  Dawes.  Of  900/. 
currency  expended  to  March  31,  1818,  the  Church- 
Missionary  Society  contributed  about  550/. ;  the  re- 
maining sum  of  350/.  arising  from  other  quarters. 

The  Missionaries  and  Aaembers  of  the  United  Bre- 
thren's and  the  Wesleyan  Societies,  render  every  as- 
sistance to  these  Schools. 

The  '^  Female  Refuge"  and  the  "  Distressed  Females* 
Friend  Society,'*  are  two  benevolent  Institutions,  parti- 
cularly designed  to  assist  Young  Females,  who,  under 
circumstances  of  great  difficulty  and  temptation,  are 
anxious  to  lead  honourable  lives  *.  These  Institutions 
have  been  the  instruments  of  much  good ;  and  the 
Committee  rejoice  that  the  Society  has  been  the  means 
of  procuring  for  them  some  assistance  to  their  plans,

by  contributions  of  money  and  clothes,  from  various 
friends  in  this  country.  They  will  gladly  be  the  me- 
dium of  further  liberality  of  tnis  nature ;  as  both  Insd- 
tutions  are  greatly  restricted,  by  want  of  means,  in  the 
good  which  they  might  etfect  among  a  class  of  Females 
who  deserve  the  most  benevolent  care. 

From  the  English-Harbour  Sunday  Schools,  arose  the 
Country  Schools.  The  manner  in  which  this  extension 
originated  is  stated  by  Mr.  Thwaites,  and  will  be  heard 
with  much  pleasure : — 

In  February  1813,  two  of  the  English-Harbour  Sunday- 
School  Teachers  attended  Divine  Sen^ice  in  the  country. 
After  they  had  left  the  place,  they  were  attracted  back,  by 
hearing  au  unusual  singing ;  and,  on  entering,  saw  an  old 
Black  Man,  surrounded  by  a  number  of  Children,  who  were 
singing  in  such  a  manner  as  greatly  to  surprise  them.  After 
singing,  the  Old  Man  heard  the  Children  repeat  the  Church 
Catechism,  and  they  then  sang  again. 

The  Teachers  were  much  affected,  and  a  flame  of  love  to 
these  poor  creatures  was  kindled  in  their  hearts,  which  they 
tru«t  will  never  be  extinguished. 

^  Finding  that  the  Children  were  not  taught  to  read,  the 
Teachers  offered  to  supply  the  Old  Man  With  books  and  lessons, 
if  he  would  undertake  to  teach  them.  He  and  his  Son-in-law, 
who  was  also  engaged  in  the  same  good  cause,  immediately 
complied. 

It  occurred  to  the  Teachers,  that,  if  persons  could  be  ob- 
tained, to  look  after,  the  Children  qa  every  Estate,  as  the  Old 
Man  had  done,  a  great  work  might  be  accomplished— even 
that  of  teaching  generally  to  read  the  Word  of  God,  and  of 
giving  religious  insti*uction  to  a  class  of  Children  who  had 
heretofore  been  as  the  wild  asses'  colts.  They  used,  therefore, 
their  utmost  endeavours  to  accomplish  so  desirable  an  object ; 
Ifcnd,  in  a  short  time,  had  applications  from  men  on  different 
Estates,  for  books  and  lessons.  Finding  they  had  so  far  suc- 
ceeded, they  requested  all  the  Children  to  attend,  on  the  Sun- 
day when  there  would  be  no  service  in  the  Chapel,  that  is, 
every  other  Sunday ;  and,  to  their  astonishment  and  delight, 
several  hundreds  assembled. 

Independently  of  the  exertions  of  the  Teachers,  the  conduct 
of  the  Old  Man  had  attracted  general  notice  among  the  Slaves 
in  that  part  of  the  Island  where  he  lived ;  so  that,  in  a  compa- 
ratively short  time,  this  system  spread  to  sixteen  or  eighteen 
Estates,  and  the  chU<h^n  amounted  id  about  five  hundred. 


.  W18T  INOnS  MISSION.  209 

Mr.  imd vMrs.  Thwaites  are  now  wholly  devoted  to 
die  work  oi  visiting  and  superintending  the  Schools ; 
and  have  prosecuted  that  work  with  a  degree  of  zeal 
and  diligence  which  has  proved  injurious  to  their 
health.  That  they  might  devote  their  entire  time  to  this 
labour,  the  Society  has  granted  such  a  Salary  as  may 
suffice  for  their  support,  without  having  recourse,  as 
before,  to  any  other  means.  Their  prudence  and  affec- 
tion, in  dealing  with  the  Young  People,  render  them 
much  beloved. 

The  Reports  of  the  English-Harbour  Sunday-School 
Society,  and  the  Journals  and  Letters  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Thwaites,*  contain  many  particulars  which  will  be 
highly  gratifying  to  every  benevolent  person. 

A  consideration  of  the  state  of  Antigua,  with  respect 
to  the  provision  made  for  the  religious  instruction  of 
the  Negroes,  will  shew  the  importance  of  these  School- 
Establishments. 

.  There  are  Eight  Places  of  Worship  in  the  Established 
Church,  three  of  which  are  Chapels  of  Ease.  Divine 
Service  is  performed  at  only  Five  of  them  every  Sun- 
day. One  Missionary  Establishment  belonging  to  the 
Society  for  the  Conversion  of  Negro  Slaves,  four  to  the 
United  Brethren,  and  three  to  the  Wesleyan  Method- 
ists, form  together  Eight  other  Places  of  Worship  for 
30,000  Negroes,  as  the  Negroes  rarely  attend  the 
Churches.  The  parishes  are  extensive,  and  the  White 
Population  thinly  scattered. 

Missionaries  might  be  advantageously  placed  on  the 
EiStates  of  such  Proprietors  as  duly  estimate  the  value  of 
relimous  instruction  for  their  Slaves,  and  which  are  not 
witmn  a  convenient  distance  of  Public  Worship.  The 
Committee  have  been  invited,  by  a  Clergyman  of  the 
Island,  to  establish,  a  Missionary  on  his  Estate  ;  and 
would  gladly  send  labourers  to  this  and  other  stations, 
were  not  the  calls  more  numerous  than  they  can  com-* 
ply  with.

llie  offer  of  Lieutenant  Robert  Lugger,  of  the  Royal 
Artillery,  to  assist  the  Society  in  its  objects^  was  stated 
in  the  last  Report. 

A  short  time  after  his  arrival  at  Barbadoes  he  laid  a 
proposal  for  a  National  School  for  the  Black  Population 
nefore  His  Excellency  Lord  Combermere,  the  Go^ 
vemor.  His  Lordship  not  only  approved  the  design,  but 
consented  to  become  its  Patron :  the  plan  received  iht 
approbation  of  the  Colonial  Clergy  ;  and  a  ^^  National 
Charity  School'*  was,  in  consequence  established^  for 
the  education  '^  of  such  Free  and  Slave  Children  of  the 
Coloured  and  Black  Population,  as,  from  pecuniary  and 
other  loeal  impediments,  have  not  the  means  of  deriving 
the  advatitage  from  any  other  source  than  that  of  Put>- 
lie  Chari^.'  Religious  instruction  is  an  important 
branch  of  this  education,  and  regular  attendance  at 
Church  required  of  every  Scholar.  The  School  is  under 
the  direction  of  a  respectable  Committee  of  Twenty 
Free  Black  and  Coloured  People  ;  one  of  whom,  Mi*.

The  temporary  School-Room  will  not  conveniently 
accommodate  more  than  150  Children ;  but  many  more 
may  be  expected  when  a  larger  Room  shall  be  built. 
Beside  the  Day-School,  a  Sunday-School  is  opened  for 
about  100  other  Children. 

Hie  usual  age  ior  admission  is  between  five  ioit 
twelve  years.  The  Children  are  found  to  be  not  at  kB 
behind  those  of  Europeans,  either  in  ability  or  exertioAi 
and  many  possess,  when  even  very  young,  surprising 
quickness. 

Contributions  ate  raised  in  the  Island  toward  the 
expenses  of  the  School.  This  Society  pays  the  Sidarjf 
of  the  Schoolmaster^  and  assists  in  the  supply  of  thiia 
requisite  Books. 

I  doubt  not  (Lieutenant  liugger  writes)  but  we  shall  9peedttt

Honduras. 

Tl^  Committee  have  felt  anxious  to  promote  the 
dklfa^  of  His  Majesty's  Superintendent  and  the  Chap- 
l^  of  this  Settlement,  referred  to  in  the  last  Report. 
Tliey  were  happy,  therefore,  to  recommend,  from  their 
own  knowledge,  a  highly  suitable  person  for  the  office 
of  Seicond  Clmplain.  The  Rev.  Joseph  Ditcher,  havkig 
been  admitted  to  Holy  Orders  by  the  Lord  Bidiop  of 
London,  reached  Honduras  about  the  middle  of  De- 
wmber.  On  his  arrival,  he  received  the  appointments 
«f  Chaplain  to  His  Majesty's  Superintendent,  Head 
Master  of  the  Free  Schools,  and  Lecturer  of  St.  John*s 
dnsrch.  Mr.  Ditcher  met  with  the  most  cordial  re- 
«nition.  Colonel  Arthur  wrote  to  the  Secretary,  in 
iobrence  to  Mr.  Ditcher's  spirit  and  character^  ^'  Your 
endeavour  to  provide  for  the  religious  instruction  of  this 
Settlement  has  been  successM  beyond  my  most  san- 
ginne  expectations.*' 

^'Inforuierance  of  the  same  design,  the  Committee 
faaye  sent  a  Schoolmaster  and  a  Schoolmistress,  Mr. 
Bobert 'Moore  and  his  wife,  to  occupy  situations  vacant 
in  the  Settlement.  Tliev  sailed  in  the  beginning  of  last 
. month;  having  been,  for  some  time,  preparing  to  go 
out^  in  those  capacities,  under  the  Society.  A  Printer 
*al80,  Mr.  Henry  Moore,  who  had  been,  for  a  consider- 
lUe  period,  fitting  himself  to  go  abroad  in  the  service 
H^  the  Society,  has  been  invited,  by  the  Superintendent, 
through  Mr.  Ditcher,  who  was  acquainted  with  hini,  to 
aettle  at  Honduras,  with  a  view  to  assist  in  the  diffii- 
non  of  information,  and  will  proceed  thither  by  tiie 
first  opportunity. 

The  Conunittee  are  more  and  more  confirmed  in  the 
^^noion  .expressed  in  the  last  Report,  that  Honduras, 
*iHider  its  present  &vourable  circumstances^-  ^tM  libely  to

tianhy.  Tbey  fed^  therefore,  the  less  reluctanee  in 
diTerting  labourers  from  the  more  immediate  sendee  of 
the  Society  in  other  quarters,  as  they  trust,  that,  by 
these  means,  the  way  will  be  prepared  for  an  efficienik 
Misrion  among  the  Natives  ot  those  countries  to  whidi 
access  may  be  obtained  by  means  of  the  Settlement  at 
Honduras;  and  particularly  as  they  are  well  astored 
that  His  Majesty's  Superintendent  and  both  the  Chap* 
lams  have  much  at  heart  the  diffiision  of  the  blessin(pi 
ofi  Christianity. 

On  this  suDJect  they  have  requested  the  comnraid- 
calions  of  the  Chaplains ;  and  they  are  happy  to  rqpor^ 
that,  in  any  future  proceedings  in  behalf  of  the  sur- 
rounding Natives,  the  Society  1ms  the  prospect  of  bdng 
assisted  by  friends  on  the  spot  who  feel  a  common  in- 
terest with  its  Members  in  the  division  of  Christianity. 
On  the  I2th  of  January  an  Association  was  formed  at 
Belize,  in  aid  of  the  Society,  of  which  Lieutenaaft- 
Colonel  Arthur  is  President,  and  the  Rev.  Joseph 
Ditcher  Secretary.  The  sum  of  100/.  has  been  remittM, 
as  the  first  oflTering  of  this  Association;  which  yow 
Gommittee  receive  with  peculiar  pleasure,  as  an  evi- 
dence that  the  Society  has  friends  in  that  Settlement 
who  will  heartily  co-operate  in  the  promotion  of  its 
objects  among  the  neighbouring  Heathen. 

An  opportunity  for  useful  exertions  is  offered,  in  this 
Settlement,  among  many  natives  of  Africa.  On  the 
disbanding  of  the  Black  Troops,  several  hundred  men 
of  the  Fifth  West  India  Regiment  were  sent  to  Hon- 
duras, and  were  settled  in  a  village  about  a  mile  from 
Belize.  The  Chaplains  considered  them  as  a  part  of 
their  charge ;  and  Mr.  Ditcher,  after  conversation  with 
one  of  them,  expressing  his  sorrow  at  his  ignorance^ 
the  poor  fellow  ^^  replied,"  says  Mr.  Ditcher,  "  in  n 
tone  which  would  have  moved  the  most  unfeeling 
heart,  '  Massa!  me  ver^  ignorant,  but  nobody  teachae 
me !'  **  Mr.  Ditcher  visits  them,  at  day-break,  every 
Tuesday  and  Friday  Morning,  in  order  to  expound  to 
^tiaa  the  Scriptures  before  tihey  go  to  their  wor^c;  mA 
flicy  are  most  grateful  for  his  services^

.  There  is  one  class  of  persons  connected  with  the 
fitltlftment,  for  whom  the  Oommittee  would  §^adly 
fwotvide  religious  instruction,  should  it  he  in  their 
ppwer.  Gangs  of  Negroes,  consisting  of  from  twenty 
It  sixty  men  each,  go  up  the  rivers  to  cut  mahogany. 
These  men  have  no  opportunity  of  receiving  religious

MISSIONARIES  AND  STUDENTS- 

The  Committee  have  received,  since  the  last  Anni* 
▼ersary,  offers  of  service  under  the  Society  from  more 
than  Sixty  Persons.  Of  these  offers,  about  one-half  have 
been  accepted :  most  of  these  persons  are  under  prepa^ 
ration  for  their  future  labours ;  and  the  rest  have  pro* 
eeeded  to  their  respective  destinations.  The  wnoie 
number  of  persons,  who  have  left  this  country,  during 
the  Nineteenth  Year,  to  promote  the  objects  of  the  So* 
dety,  including  Adults  and  Children,  is  Nineteen; 
and  there  remain,  at  present,  twenty-three  under 
preparation. 

Various  intimations  of  the  urgent  want  of  Christian 
Labourers  have  been  given  in  the  preceding  review  of 
the  Society*8  Missions.  The  calls  for  assistance  are 
heard,  indeed,  on  all  sides :  but  the  Committee  feel  the 
duty  of  unrelated  circumspection,  on  their  own  part,  in 
the  reception  of  Missionaries;  and  of  knowledge  of 
themselves  and  of  mankind,  on  the  part  of  those  who 
ofier  themselves.  I'he  Committee  have  endeavoured 
to  enter  into  the  real  motives  and  characters  of  the 
Candidates  for  this  service ;  but,  in  some  few  cases, 
they  have  been  disappointed  in  what  appeared  to  be 
reasonable  expectations. 

It  was  stated  in  the  last  Report,  that  the  at* 
tention  of  the  conductors  of  the  Missionary  InstiU 
tution  at  Btele  had  been  particularly  directed,  by 
tiie  Committee,  to  the  preparation  of  Missionaries 
who  might  enter,  with  due  qualifications,  into  the 
vast  field  of  Missions  now  opening  in  the  East.  The 
Committee   availed  themselves  of  the  visit  of  the 


> 

Rev.  John  Owen  to  the  Continent,  on  the  budneM  of 
the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society,  to  request  that 
he  would  confer,  at  B&sle,  with  the  Directors  of  the 
Institution,  on  the  selection  of  some  Students  for  the 
future  service  of  the  Society,  Mr.  Owen,  in  conse- 
quence, engaged  Messrs.  Jetter  and  Deerr,  of  whom 
mention  has  been  before  made ;  and  Eight  others  were 
selected,  with  his  approbation,  and  are  now  pursuing 
a  course  of  study,  well-calculated,  under  the  Divine 
Blessing,  to  fit  them  for  acceptable  service. 

To  this  Institution,  the  Society  may  confidently  look 
for  the  supply  of  able  and  well-educated  Missionaries. 
Offers  of  service  have  been  made,  during  the  year,  by 
various  Ministers  and  Students  on  the  Continent :  but 
the  Committee  did  not  accept  them ;  chiefly  because 
they  considered  it  better  to  trust  to  the  vi^ant  and 
pious  care  exercised  in  the  Bftsle  Institution  for  the  fos* 
tering  of  a  Missionary  Spirit  and  the  commumcation 
of  Nfissionary  Qualifications,  than  to  engage  labourers 
in  the  work,  of  whose  spirit  and  qualSications  they 
could  not  obtain  testimonies  so  satisfactory. 

.Oh  Mr.  Owen's  return  from  the  Continent,  he  re- 
ported to  the  Committee,  in  strong  terms,  the  very  fa- 
VQurable  impression  made  on  his  mind  by  his  visit  to 
the  Institution ;  as  one  of  the  best  planned  and  best 
conducted  that  he  had  ever  known,  and  under  the  direc- 
tion of  men  of  decided  piety,  superior  education,  and  most 
disinterested  minds,  it  has  been  the  means  of  awaken- 
ingand  concentrating  a  spirit  of  Missionary  zeal  in  various 
quarters  ;  different  Associations  being  formed,  each  for 
the  support  of  one  or  more  Students.  Such,  indeed^ 
is  the  growth  of  this  spirit,  that  it  is  probable  that  the 
whole  current  expenses  will  be  borne  by  Christians  on 
the  Continent :  the  House,  however,  of  the  Seminary 
being  subject  to  a  considerable  debt  for  the  purchase- 
money,  your  Comnuttee  gladly  contributea  the  sum 
of  100/.  toward  the  relief  of  the  Institution  from  that 
burden.

Tlie  progress  made  in  various  Translations  of  the 
Scriptures  and  the  Liturgy,  and  in  the  prepoing  and 
publication  of  Tracts^  has  been  stated  under  the  re- 
spective Missions. 

The  'Committee  congratulate  the  Society  on  the  ap- 
pointment of  the  Rev.  Samuel  Lee  to  the  Arabic  Pro- 
lessorship  in  the  University  of  Cambridge.  This  office 
will  afford  opportunities  to  the  Professor,  which  he  wiU 
gladly  embrace,  of  promoting,  under  the  most  favourable 
circumstances,  the  cultivation  of  Oriental  Learning 
umang  the  Students  at  Cambridge,  and  of  directing  it 
to  the  highest  end — the  extension  of  Christianity  in  the 
Bast,  and  particularly  among  Mahomedans.  Mr.  Lee 
is  proceeding,  with  unabated  diligence,  in  the  prepara- 
tkm  of  the  various  editions  of  the  Scripture  m  which 
he  is  engaged. 

The  attention  of  the  Committee  has  been  called  to 
the  wants  of  various  places,  which  they  would  gladly 
supply  ^th  Christian  Labourers,  were  it  in  their  power. 
Two  of  these  are  the  large  Islands  of  Sumatra  and  Ma- 
dajgiascar. 

The  Chaplain  at  Bencoolen,  in  Sumatra,  the  Rev. 
Christopher  Winter,  is  anxious  for  the  aid  of  a  Mis- 
uonary ;  and  is  joined  in  this  wish  by  the  Governor, 
Sir  Stamford  Baffles.  Circumstances  are  favourable  to 
the  establishment  of  a  Mission.  Mr.  Winter  had  dis- 
tributed copies  of  the  Arabic-Malay  Testament,  amonff 
the  Mahomedan  Chiefe  and  Priests,  who  had  receivra 
them  willinglv.  They  are  aknost  entirely  ignorant  c^ 
their  own  religion;  as  few,  even  of  the  Priests,  can 
read  the  Koran.  This  circumstance  would  be  &vour« 
•bk  to  the  cxertloiis  of  a  Milous  and  ptodent  &fit* 


sionary.  The  Native  Children  might  be  collected  in 
Schools :  and,  should  their  parents  object  to  their  being 
instructed  in  Christianity,  yet,  if  they  first  learn  their 
own  language  in  Christian  Schools,  while  they  remain 
ignorant  of  that  of  the  Koran,  there  can  be  little  doubt 
but  that  they  will  read  the  New  Testament  at  home. 
There  are  also  a  great  number  of  Caffires  on  the  Island, 
who  profess  no  religion,  and  among  whom  a  Mission- 
ify  would  have  a  wide  field  of  labour. 

Governor  Farquhar,  on  his  return  from  Mauritius, 
met  a  Special  Committee  of  the  Society,  appointed  to 
confer  with  His  Excellency  on  the  advantages  of  ha- 
a|LGA8CAR  as  a  Missionary  Station.  The  attention  of 
odier  Societies  has  been  directed  to  this  important 
Idand,  and  attempts  are  now  making  on  it9  Eastern 
Coast;  but  it  afibrds  abundant  opportunities  for  every 
exertion  that  can  be  made.  The  position  of  the  lalandf, 
ap  it  respects  our  Indian  Empire  and  the  Eaat  and 
Soutii  of  Afirica,  gives  it  great  importance  as  a  Station. 
It  is  stated  to  contain  90  million  acres  of  cultivable 
land,  on  a  superficies  of  54,000  square  milei,  and  with 
a  population  of  four  million.  The  King  of  Ova  ocoupieB 
tbe  centre  of  the  Island,  and  governs  half  tiie  populati<mj 
the  rest  being  under  independent  ChiefUdns.  He  com- 
mands 40,000  well-appointed  soldiers.  His  name  is 
Ij^adama :  he  is  under  thirty  years  of  age,  reads  EnffUsh, 
and  writes  it  in  the  printed  Roman  Character.  He  is 
warmly  attached  to  the  English.  He  has  entered  into 
a  treaty  with  them  to  prohibit  the  Slave  Trade  in  his 
domimons ;  but  tiiis  treaty  seems,  as  elsewhere,  to  be 
vendered  nugatory,  in  mahy  cases,  by  the  cupidity  of 
Buropeans.  The  inhabitants  are  of  Malay  extraction. 
They  are  very  ingenious,  mild,  and  Mendly.  They 
seem  to  have  no  idea  of  a  Being  of  Supreme  Uoodness, 
but  a  dread  of  an  Evil  Spirit.  They  have  no  pub- 
Uo  worship.  They  have  an  idea  that  the  spirits  of  their 
fethen  watch  over  them,  and  they  have  the  greatest 
veneration  for  the  dead;  looking  forward  them- 
fidfves  to  another  state  of  being.  **  This  Idbnd,*'  said

earnest  expressions  of  good-will  toward  the  Society, 
and  the  assurance  of  their  prayers  in  its  behalf ;  while 
liie  great  extent  of  their  domestic  field  of  action,  and 
their  dBsproportionate  means  of  cultivation,  will  venr 
much  restrict,  for  the  present,  their  efforts  in  behau 
of  the  Heathen. 

With  the  Board  of  Commissioners  for  Foreign  Mis- 
wms,  the  Committee  continue  in  the  interchange  of 
the  publications  of  the  two  Societies.  They  rejoice 
in  tiie  exertions  and  prosperity  of  that  Institution. 

A  Society  has  been  orgamzed  in  New  York,  em- 
bracuig  three  Denominations,  very  similar*  in  their 
views  of  Doctrine  and  Discipline.  Under  the  name  of 
the  **  United  Foreign  Missionary  Society,**  the  Pres- 
byterian, Reformed  Dutch,  and  Associate  Reformed 
dnurches  of  the  United  States,  have  agreed  to  combine 
tiieir  efforts  in  behalf  of  the  Heathen,  with  a  particular 
reference  to  the  vast  regions  of  South  America.  -  The 
Board  of  Managers,  by  their  Secretary  the  Rev.  Dr. 
FUlip  MiUedoler,  opened  a  correspondence  with  the 
Committee,  requesting  an  interchange  with  the  Society 
of  such  information  in  Missionary  Concerns  as  might 
aerve  to  encourage  the  hearts  and  strenjrthen  the  hands 
of  Christians  in  both  countries.  Tne  Committee 
received  this  communication  with  much  pleasure,  and 
gladly  accepted  the  offer  of  the  Board.  A  supply  of 
various  publications  was,  in  consequence,  forwaraed, 
and  will  be  continued  as  opportunities  may  offer. 

In  Yale  College,  at  Newhaven  in  Connecticut,  one 
of  liie  most  flourishing  Public  Seminaries  in  the  States, 
a  Society  has  been  formed  amono;  the  Students,  the 

ject  of  which  is  to  obtain  and  diffuse  information  on 
donary  Subjects,  and  to  &n  the  Missionary  Flame 
in  their  own  breasts  and  in  those  of  others.  Ine  Com-

COMGLUMON.  fgl 


-  In  ccmcluaon,  the  Committee  would  direct  tlie 
attention  of  the  Members  to  the  very  peculiar  character 
of  the  Times  in  which  we  live. 

We  are  labouring  in  a  Pacified  World !  The  noord 
is  beaten  into  the  ploughshare,  and  the  spear  into  the 
prumng'hook.  The  elements  of  Discord  seem  to  be 
enchained  as  in  a  Prison.  The  greatest  Monarchs  <^ 
the  Earth  are  pledging  themselves,  in  the  presence  oi 
one  another  and  before, the  world,  to  act  ana  govern  on 
the  Laws  of  the  Prince  of  Peace. 
.  The  spirit  of  Enterprize,  nurtured  in  a  protracted 
contest,  is  bursting  forth  in  the  discovery  of  new 
nations.  The  relations  of  Commerce,  broken  by  war, 
«re  renewed ;  and  are  extending  themselves  on  all 
aides.  B^^^y  shore  of  the  world  is  accessible  to  pur 
.Qiristian  EflSorts.  The  Civil  and  the  Military  Servants 
of  the  Crown  throughout  its  Foreign  Possessions,  and 
of  the  East  India  Company  in  its  territories,  are  freely 
offering  their  labour  and  their  influence  to  aid  the 
benevolent  designs  of  Christians.  Asia,  in  her  northern 
jregions,  opens  to  Russian  Charity ;  and,  in  her  south- 
ern, to  the  beneficence  and  justice  of  this  country. 
*  The  "  Cyrus^  of  our  day,  the  truly  great  Alexander^ 
Is  placing  himself  at  the  nead  of  Christian  Enterprise^ 
as  a  Nursing  Father  of  the  Church ;  and  counts  it  his 
highest  honour,  to  place  his  crown  at  the  foot  of  that 
Thnme,  to  which  he  offers  unwearied  prayers  for  a 
blessing  on  the  labours  of  Christians  in  theu*  attempts 
to  convert  the  world. 

.  Ancient  Christian  Churches  are  reviving  from  their 
slumbers.  The  glory  of  the  Lord  will  be  reflected  by 
them  on  the  surrounding  Heathen.  Their  dignified 
Tepresentatives  are  coming  over  to  us  in  person,  to  beg 
at  our.  hands,  as  a  boon,  the  means  or  causing  Hieir 
Churches  to  shine  out  with  splendour  before  the  world. 
.  A  spirit  of  discussion  is  rising  among  Mahomcdaiui. 
The  now  blessed  Henry  Martyn  has  awakene^l  in 


Nnaimmni  uport. 

Persia  dissatisfaction  with  their  own  Creed.  Hindoo 
Deists  are  shaking  to  the  foundation  the  superstitions  of 
their  country.  Heathens  themselves  are  literally  aiding 
iA  the  d^sion  of  Christian  Knowledge.  Bvery  where 
fhe  l^ss  is  demanded,  for  the  circulatimi  of  Divhte 
Truth.  An  eagerness  after  knowledge,  luid  a  restlett 
Uudety  for  something  wisei*  and  better  thail  what  they 
tn^fw  have,  are  manifesting  themselves  iti  every  quarter. 

Is  this  the  actual  state  of  things  ?  Then  who  will  not 
feJGloe^  that  the  Christian  World  is  moving  forward  to 
)aie6t  the  calls  of  Providence  ?  The  very  mag^EUtude^ 
•ad  the  acknowledged  difficulties  of  this  w6rk|  will 
lead  the  sincere  servant  of  Christ  to  rejoide  that  held 
is  preparing  in  all  quarters  and  of  every  varied  Idnd. 
It  would  be  folly  to  challenge  this  work  to  oiir  own 
dreleSt  No !  we  see,  with  joy,  the  differetit  Denotti* 
^MktiiMs  ci  Christians  among  us  working  the  watk  cf  tht 
Lotd  M  we  aUo  do ;  and  we  pray  that  the  Spirit  ^

IUm  the  Continental  Protestant  States — are  all  ghrdit^ 
themselves  to  this  Holy  War.  And  our  common  diffl<-

Difficulties  multiply,  indeed,  with  eiteftions  and  with 
success.  And  this  must  be  expected.  The  Great 
Bilemy  of  Man  will  not  lightly  yield  his  usurped  dond- 
nion :  and  there  are  signs,  very  evident  to  the  discern*- 
ing  mind,  of  his  malignant  operation^  in  Various  ways. 
PbSribly  Christians  may  be  called  to  pass  through  triali, 
In  Which  they  have  not  yet  participated  with  their  mtslth 
ttt^ering  forefathers,  in  the  accomplishment  of  the  WiU 
itiil  the  aehie^ng  of  the  Triumphs  of  their  Lord.

^  Look  around,'*  bbjA  the  eloquent  Bishqp  Hard, 
in  addreJBsing  the  Society  for  the  Propagation  <4 
the  Gospel — '^  look  around  on  the  shifting  scenes  ei 
glory,  which  have  been  exhibited  on  the  theatre  of  this 
world,  and  see  the  success  of  mighty  Conquerors,  the 
policy  of  States,  the  destiny  of  Empires,  depend  on  the 
secret  purpose  of  God  in  nis  Son  Jesus :  before  whom 
all  the  achievements  and  imaginations  of  men  must 
bow  down,  and  to  whose  honour  all  the  mysterioili 
workings  of  his  Providence  are  now,  have  hitherto  been, 
and  will  for  ever  be,  directed." 

Hie  Committee  cannot  but  urge  on  all  the  Members 
of  the  Society,  in  conclusion,  this  striking  fact — that 

THE  CAUiS  OF  PROVIDENCE  FAR  OUTRUN   THE  CHARITY  09 
THE  church! 

This  Declaration  could  never  have  been  made  rinoe 
the  existence  of  the  Church,  with  so  much  truth  aad 
force  as  at  this  hour. 

Some  Duties  are  binding  on  Christians  at  all  timet* 
From  the  moment  when  our  Lord,  looking  on  the  deMH 
late  multitudes  of  Judea,  gave  that  injimction  to  his 
disciples — Praj/  ye  the  Lord  of  the  Harvest,  that  He 
tvoutd  send  forth  labourers  into  His  harvest — from  that 
moment,  ftayer  for  this  object  has  never  ceased  to  be 
the  Duty  of  every  Christian.  From  the  moment  when 
He  left  that  last  command — Go  ye  into  all  the  worlds 
and  preach  the  Gospel  to  every  creature — ^from  that 
moment  every  possible  eflFort  has  been  the  Duty  of 
every  Christian  in  every  age. 

But  some  of  the  Duties  which  are  binding  at  all 
times,  may  seem,  for  a  season  to  be  left,  as  it  were,  to 
their  own  bare  authority  in  the  Divine  Word.  And 
then  it  is  but  here  and  there,  that  a  devout  and  hea- 
venly mind  rises  above  the  circumstances  of  the  Times, 
and  discerns  and  feels  Truths  and  Duties  to  which  the 
Providence  of  God  does  not  seem  to  call  peculiar  at- 
tention. 

How  truly  has  this  been  the  case,  with  respect  to  the 
conversion  of  the  world !

T{0M  .    OOMCUXIION. 

'*  But  tilings  are  wholly  changed!  Kfissionarjr  2feal,in 
our  i^ous  fiithers^  would  shew  itself  in  breathing  forth 
fervent  prayers,  with  David — 

Our  souls  wait  for  the  Lord,  more  than  they  that 
watch  for  the  morning — 
Bot  the  Sun  is  risen  in  full  splendour.  It  throws 
Kght  on  all  the  dark  places  of  the  earth,  and  shews  them 
to  VL%fuU  if  the  habitations  of  cruelty.  It  has  ripened 
the  Imrvest,  and  it  shews  the  field  to  the  labourer. 
•  And  what  is  the  extent  of  that  field  ?  Here  is  a 
call  iov  Christian  Charity,  which  was  never  heard 
before !  We  have  found,  in  some  measure,  the  level 
of  Domestic  Charities.  It  may  be  doubted  whether 
ilie  application  of  any  very  considerable  addition  of 
funds  to  these  Charities,  would  be  really  beneficial : 
but  the  Charity  of  Christian  Missions  is  co-exten-* 
tive  with  the  Heathen  World !  Let  us  offer,  then,  as  we 
have  never  yet  offered.  Let  us  me6t  the  openings  of 
IMvine  Providence.  Let  us  give  ourselves  to  this 
Labour,  and  great  will  be  our  Iteward.

Of  this  man,  therefore,  the  Committee  spoke  in  the  Seventeenth  Report

precaution.

The  roilowine  account  of  this  man's  intercourse  with  the  Missionaries  at  Ma-

On  die  singular  and  affecting  case  detailed  in  the  preceding  extracts,  a  Mem* 
bor  of  the  Corresponding  Committee  wrote,  as  follows,  in  September,  1816  >— 

"  I  cannot  divest  my  mind  of  suspicions  of  the  Gooroo*s  objects,  and  of  his  sin- 
oerily  :  but  if  Mr.  Rhenius  should  fail  in  his  endeavours  to  make  a  proselyte  of 
bun,  Uie  Society  at  home,  and  all  who  read  the  Journal,  will  see  that  they  have 
no  mean  difficulties  to  overcome ;  and  that  here  Satan's  kingdom  is  not  only 
fbunded  on  ienorance,  but  upheld  by  dissimulation  and  cunning.  It  will  equally 
manifest  to  Uiose  who  argue  on  the  prejudices  of  the  Natives  as  insurmounta^ 
hie,  that  they  can  hear  and  talk  on  these  thinp;  and  even  put  on  theappearence 
(^Christian Humility ;  and  that  now,  as  of  old,  it  is  the  love  of  the  world  alone 
that  blinds  them  to  their  spiritual  interests.  Those  who  talk  of  native  prejudices, 
have  themselves  prejud igea  the  question :  they  have  neither  tried  to  decrease  them, 
nor  have  they  enqwrecThow  they  may  be  decreased.  Should  our  suspicions  of 
the  Gooroo  be  confirmed,  this  cannot  injure  the  great  cause  in  which  we  are  en- 
gaged.   That  b  in  the  hand  of  the  Most  High." 

Another  Member  of  the  Committee  wrote  thus,  on  the  same  subject,  in 
March,  1817:— 

^  Of  the  Gooroo,  I  am  sorry  to  say,  our  hopes  are  nearly  all  gone.  The  story 
which  he  tells,  of  his  being  the  regular  and  lawful  descendent  of  the  late  Chief  of 
the  Pandarams,  may  be  very  true;  and  it  may  be  true  also,  that  the  person  who 
seems  now  to  b^  the  sway  at  Combaconum,  which  has  been  considered  as  a  sort 
of  Head  Quarters  of  the  Sect,  is  an  Usurper:  with  this  we  have  nothing  to  do. 
But.  alas!  there  appears  very  great  reason  to  fear,  that  his  chief  aim,  m  pre- 
tmmng  to  attach  him  himself  to  Mr.  Rhenius,  was  only,  throu^  Mr.  Rhenius'a 
friends,  to  dispossess  the  Usurper,  and  to  get  the  whole  power  into  his  own  hands. 
He  teems  to  have  been  acting  a  deep  part,  for  a  mere  worldly  and  ambitious  pur-

Ahitraet  of  a  Brief  History  of  the  Syrians  in  Malabar,  preserved  amtmg 

themselves,  as  their  Genuine  History. 

Tax  Syrians  have  thb  History  among  tliemselves  as  their  Genuine  History. 
Mr.  Bailey  has  translated  it  from  the  original  Mala^^alim.  It  begins  with  a  d^- 
dantion  that  St.  Thomas  preached  the  Gospel  tu  the  Parthians,  Medes,  and 
Indians ;  and  then  enters  mto  details,  which  are  manifestly  legendary,  how- 
ever th^  may  be  grounded  on  actual  occurrences. 

The  facts  as  stated,  stripped  of  apparent  fable,  are  as  follows : — 

St  Thomas  arrived  in  the  year  5S.  His  success  was  great,  in  various  quar- 
ters. In  Malabar,  there  was  then  no  Rajah  or  Kui^  ;  but  the  country  was  go- 
verned by  thirty-two  chief  Brahmins.  To  those,  and  to  the  Natives  at  large,  St 
Thomas  preached  the  Gospel.  Many,  believing,  were  baptized.  Two  were  or- 
dained Priests.  After  living  thirty  years  in  Malabar,  he  went  to  Mailapore,  and 
was  there  murdered  by  a  Heathen  Priest.  After  his  death,  the  Two  Priests 
had  chari^e  of  the  Christians  in  Malabar.  On  their  decease,  there  were  no  other 
Priests,  lor  many  years ;  the  Elders  among  the  Christians  performing  the  ser- 
vices of  Baptism  and  Marriage.  Many  relapsed,  in  consequence,  into  idolatry. 
In  the  year  345,  a  Bishop,  with  some  Priests  and  others,  arrived  from  Syria. 
The  then  Rajah  of  Malabar  received  them,  and  granted  them  many  privileges, 
and  a  portion  of  ground ;  and  issued  a  Decree  that  no  one  should  persecute  or 
dc»use  them.    The  influence  of  this  Decree  was  felt  for  a  long  course  of  years. 

Ijie  Narrative  then  proceeds,  and  speaks  thus  of  the  settling  of  these  Syrian 
Christians,  or  Nazarites,  as  it  calls  them,  in  Malabar : — 

In  a  course  of  time,  the  Nazarites,  was  done  for  a  perpetual  distinction

Their  Letters  will  be  interesting,  as  shewing  the  effect  of  new  forms  of  so- 
ciety  on  simple  minds ;  and,  it  may  be  hoped,  as  mapifesdn^  the  beginiung  of 
%  permanent  religious  influence  on  their  hearts.  Promising  mdioEitions  ofthis 
nature  should-  excite  the  friends  of  the  Society  to  fervent  prayer  in  their  be- 
half and  in  that  of  their  country.  Of  the  power  of  Divine  Grace  in  the  con- 
version of  their  countryman  Mowhee  the  Society  has  had  abundant  evidence. 
Proo&  of  the  permanence  of  the  religious  impressions  apparently  made  oo

many  persons  of  a  different  spirit  from  those  with  whom  they  have  almost  ex- 
clusively associated  in  this  country,  would  be  a  time  of  trial ;  and  it  will  be  a 
period  of  danger  to  them,  too,  when  they  come  to  resume  their  places  among 
their  own  countiymen :  but  these  considerations  should  render  their  friemS 
more  earnest  in  prayer  for  them,  that  ihe  God  of  all  Grace  would  enable  them 
to  shine  as  lights  in  the  midst  of  the  lieatlieu  Darkness  in  wliich  their  country 
Is  invcAved. 

It  may  be  proper  to  add,  ttiat  they  dictated  these  Letters  to  Mr.  Hall,  who 
^note  them  in  a  plain  hand,  which  they  copied  with  so  much  exactness,  as  to
