At another time he went to a village called Kalpara, where some Mussulmans were burying a corpse. Entreating them to stop a few minutes, he sung his hymn as usual, and then pointed out their sinful state, and the danger of relying on Mahomet for salvation, directing them to Jesus Christ as the only Saviour. Two of the sons of the deceased were present, weeping, to whom he particularly addressed himself. After pray ing for them, he gave them some tracts, and left them.

"When at Gayaspoor, another village near Sadamahl, he presented a man with a tract, who, on reading it, wept, and said, I have heard of Jesus Christ, and his salvation before, but never understood what I heard.' He then asked the meaning of some things in the tract, which Sebuk-ram told him. Two or three months after the man came to Sadamah'l to see him, and there are hopes of his being truly converted.

"The above is given as a specimen of the labours of the native preachers."

Dr. Carey thus writes in September 1809. "I hope God will enable me to go on with the work of translating his word till it is finished in all the languages which we have begun. I bless his name that the Bengal version is accomplished. The translation was finished the last Monday in June, and the last sheet has been printed this week. I am now in the 34th chapter of Exodus in the Sungskrit. We have printed to the 20th chapter of the Acts in Hindoost'hanee; to the 21st chapter of John in Mahratta; and to the 26th chapter of Proverbs (beginning the volume with Job) in Orissa. I am not certain how far the printing is advanced in the Chinese, but its progress depends on that of the workmen in carving the blocks, which business we press forward as fast as we can. We have made a beginning of printing the Punjabee or Seek version. The work goes forward as fast as can reasonably be expected, but much slower than my wishes."

"Dec. 4, 1809. Mr. Keir of Scotland, says Mr. Ward, "has sent us 1000 rupees; 500 for the Hindostanee translation, and 500 for Ragoon. Brother Marshman is finishing his quarto volume of Confucius, and a dissertation on the Chinese to accompany it.

I have felt a good deal of pleasure of late in the visible growth of our native brethren in divine things. I hope they feel more of the importance and value of the Gospel than they used to do."

Mr. Felix Carey, in a letter from Rangoon dated Sept. 1809, observes," Next to Bengal there could not have been a more important station than this. No government in

the world could have been more favourable than this has hitherto been towards us, and I have no doubt it will still continue to be so. There are in this country a few evil-minded people who would be glad to see us farther off; but they cannot hurt us unless permitted by a higher power. This is a very eligh ble situation for sending the word of truth through the whole Burman dominions, and the surrounding hations. Not less than 24 or 25 different languages, or rather, perhaps, dialects, are spoken between this country and China. I have already got a list of twenty-one different kinds of people from the Burmans, and am told there are s few more. What an extensive field is this!

"We may, for any thing which yet appears, publish and preach, and make as many proselytes as God may give us, without creating any dislike in a Burman. Nor does it appear that their becoming of another religion will be attended with any disgrace, seeing they have no cast to lose. This however has been the case among the Mussulmans and Portu guese, who have vast numbers of converts.”.

"Oct. 1809. Things at Sadamah'i are in a very pleasing state.-One of the converts, Pudmulochun, was formerly a religious guide, and had a number of disciples, who reverenced him as a god. As a proof that he counts all things but loss for Christ, hà now works for a scanty livelihood as a gar dener."

"Oct. 22. About three years ago a man of the name of Punchanan came from Mahmood-shi, the district next to Jessore, and after being baptized, returned home, about the distance of 100 miles. A few months after he was followed by a man of the name of Fukeera-chiund, from the same district. About four months ago six or seven persons came from those parts to inquire into the truth of things; and within this fortnight two or three of these, with several others, came again, of whom four have determined to risk all for the Saviour. To-night they came be fore the church. Some of them we found had heard the Gospel for nearly two years from Punchanan. The simple yet clear and decided manner in which they expressed their dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ

for the forgiveness of sins was truly affecting. One of them, Dulot-das, is 65 years old; another, Vishna, a woman about 40, whose husband has sent her to be baptized, proposing soon to follow himself. The names of the other two are Gourdas and Nurottum. As they will of course form a part of the church in Jessore, under the care of Carapeit, we thought it best to leave the work of receiving them to him and the members of that church, six or seven of whom were present; we only assisting as spectators, or rather helpers of their joy.-Carapeit examined each candidate, and conducted the business with great propriety. We thought also it would strengthen their respect for him as their pastor if he baptized them. This he did the following day, and performed the ordinance of baptism in a solemn, impressive, and dignified manner. Thus were men awakened, brought to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus, baptized, and added to the church, entirely through the instrumentality of those born in the country,while through the whole we have been only spectators of the work. Who will say that the kingdom of God even in Bengal is not like leaven hid in a portion of meal; and that the Lord cannot or will not carry on his work here, even though we were driven out of the country"

Dec. 1809. Dr. Carey writes, "Brother Chamberlain has this year baptized thirtythree European soldiers at Berhampore, and is labouring there and in all the country round with great diligence. A Hindoo of respectability in his neighbourhood, who had a temple full of idols, has cast them all out. Brother Chamberlain has sent them down to Serampore. I believe the number baptized within the last year in all the Bengal churches is sixty-seven."

"Dec 21. We recommend to your attention Arrakan and Pegu, both of which are under the same government. Siam also is a country which ought not to be neglected. Its vici nity to Prince of Wales's Island, to which ships are constantly sailing from the port of Calcutta, would make a communication with such a mission easy. Cambodia, Malacca, Laos, Tonquin, and Cochin China, are still destitute of the Gospel. To these we might add Assam and Nepol; one of which lies north-east and the other north-west of Bengal. We have made no mention of China, which we doubt not will soon be accessible to missionaries; nor of the numerous islands

in the Indian ocean, as Sumatra, Java, Borneo, &c. because it scarcely seems possible for so many places to be supplied; yet they cannot hear without preachers."

SOCIETY IN SCOTLAND FOR PROPAGATING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. We have already given an account of the celebration of the centenary anniversary of this society on the 6th June, 1809. A Sermon preached on that occasion, by Sir H. Moncrieff Wellwood, Bart. has since been published, which contains a very able and triumphant defence of the cause of missions generally, and of the system, so successfully pursued in Scotland, of communicating the benefits of a religious edu cation to the poor. We wish we could have followed the worthy Baronet in his luminous course; but our limits will not permit us to do so. We must be content with recommending the sermon to the attention of our readers.

Attached to the sermon is an Appendix, from which it appears that the number of schools established by this society is 291, containing at present about 16,000 scholars, and occasioning an annual expense, in salaries, of about 3500l. The society support, besides, fifteen missionaries and catechists in the Highlands of Scotland, and contributes towards the education of six young men for the ministry, who speak the Gaelic language.

NOVA SCOTIA.

The British and Foreign Bible Society lately sent a considerable number of Bibles to Nova Scotia. This has given occasion to an institution of a similar kind in that province. The Rev. Hugh Graham, writing to "A his correspondent in July last, says, Bible Society was instituted at Truro: the object similar to that of the parent institution. It comprehends the castern division of this province. Different denominations unite as one association. The Rev. Mr. Waddel preached at the establishment of the society, from Job xxiii. 12. have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.""
