solemn employment of warding off the divine vengeance, as, with hurried' and agitated step, and his censer in his hand, he thrust himself between the dead and the living.

From the history of past ages, and from a rapid glance over the surface of the world lying in wickedness, we know that a moral pestilence has prevailed for six thousand years, and is still prevailing;-a pestilence, under whose fatal influence countless myriads of immortal beings are cut off from happiness and from hope An effectual remedy is at hand; but till this very day the evil has received little check comparatively, and now, while we speak, its desolating waves roll over the nations. In the midst of this appalling calamity, faithful missionaries are seen, in many heathen lands; and, within certain limits, the plague is stayed-a delightful earnest, that destructions shall at length come to a perpetual end. Hail, ye heralds of the cross in the dark places of the earth! Hail, ye honored servants of the Most High, who are called to this divine employment of applying to the diseased and dying human family the grand remedy, which alone can reach the dire exigency of the case! Honored indeed ye are; and, did the counsels of God permit, Aaron might now gladly descend from the mansions of rest, to take his stand by your side, between the dead and the living.

And, Mr President, cannot the members of this Board hear a voice, not less distinct and imperative than that of Moses, commanding them to hasten the application of all the means at their disposal, without the loss of a single day? As we look around this hall and our eyes fix upon one, and another, and another, and we call to mind, in regard to each individual, how many of his fellow Christians there are, whom he might inspirit to this service, if he fully realized how vast are the interests depending, and how urgent is the call for immediate relief; and, as we proceed a step farther, and behold each member going from the celebration of the present anniversary, determined that he will, by God's help, call around him the zealous and the faithful,the men of prayer, and the men of charitable deeds, and will make the greatest and best and most earnest efforts in his power to arouse every dormant energy of their souls, by presenting in all its dreadfulness the extent of the evil, and in all its surpassing interest the hope of deliverance:how can we behold all this, without regarding ourselves, feeble and unworthy though we are, as the ministers of Jehovah, called to this holy service, and standing, each with his censer in his hand, between the dead and the living. O that we might think and act under the influence of feelings like these, till the ear shall be saluted from every continent and island with the gladdening shout-The plague is stayed-the wrath of God is averted---the world is transformed-Christ is exalted-and his kingdom is universally established in the hearts of the children of men.

friends of missions in various parts of the country. Such other ordained or licensed Preachers will be associated with Mr. Cowles, from time to time, as circumstances may require, or permit.

The Executive business of the Board is transacted at the Missionary Rooms, in the new Stone Church, Hanover-street, Boston, Mass., which are open daily, during the regular hours of business.

In the Missionary Herald for November, 1823, the Prudential Committee recommended a plan of organization to the patrons of the

Foreign

Board, by means of which, it was thought, greater regularity and efficiency might be given to the financial department of missionary operations. Since that time, this plan has been generally adopted in the New-England States. About 1,000 Associations have been formed, which transmit their collections into the Treasury through the medium of 45 Auxiliaries. The number of Collectors, which these Associations employ, may be estimated at not less than 4,000. The payments of 42 of these Auxiliaries, for the year ending with August last, were about 30,000 dollars.-Agents are now organizing similar societies in several of the Middle States.

Establishments.*

The union between the United Foreign Missionary Society and the Board, was consummated in the early part of last summer. The missions, which came under the direction of the Board, in consequence of that event, are among the Osage Indians; among the Indians in New-York, at Mackinaw, and at Maumee; and among the American emigrants on the island of Hayti. The United Foreign Missionary Society held its ninth anniversary in May last. The mission to the Osage Indians was proposed about seven years ago, and, in the spring of 1820, the first missionaries to that tribe left the city of New-York on their benevolent enterprize. The mission to the Indians of New-York, was commenced by the New-York Missionary Society, many years ago, and was transferred in 1820. That at Maumee, in Ohio, was established by the Synod of Pittsburgh, and transferred in the autumn of 1825.

The missions which are now to be surveyed, though with great brevity, are at Bombay-in Ceylon-among the Cherokees-the Choctaws-the Cherokees-of-the Arkansas-the Osages-the Indians in New-York-at Mackinaw at Maumee-the American Emigrants in Hayti-at the Sandwich Islands-in Malta-Syria-and Palestine.

I. BOMBAY

The third of the British Presidencies in India; about 1,300 miles, travelling distance, west of Caleutta. Population of the island about 200,000; of the countries in which the Mahratta language is spoken, about 12,000,000.

Commenced in 1813. Stations at Bombay and Ma

him.

BOMBAY.-A large city on an island of the same name, and the capital of the Presidency.

Rev. Allen Graves, Missionary, Mrs. Graves; James Garrett, Printer, Mrs. Garrett; Mrs. Nichols, and Mrs. Frost.

MAHIM.-Six miles from Bombay, on the north part of the island.

The Rev. Samuel Newell, died May 30, 1821; the Rev. John Nichols, Dec. 9, 1824; the Rev. Edmund Frost, Oct. 18, 1825; and the Rev. Gordon Hall, March 20, 1826. The death of Mr. Hall made it necessary for Mr. Graves to remove from Mahim to Bombay

*The term "foreign," it will be perceived, is used with considerable latitude of signification, embracing the unevangelized, wherever found. Thus, we al ways denominate the missions to the Indians within our own states and territories, foreign missions; which distinguishes them from missions among our destitute settlements. There is a convenience in this usage, which, in our view, sufficiently authorizes it. Ed.

It will be observed, that in respect to the statistical part of this Survey, much use is made, according to our custom, of the Report of the Prudential Committee, printed during the previous year. Ed.

Of course the former station is now vacant.
The death of Mr. Nichols, and the conse-
quent removal of his widow to Bombay, made
it necessary to relinquish the station of Tan-
nah.
Mr. Newell died of the cholera mor-
bus, Mr. Nichols of a fever, Mr. Frost of a
consumption, and Mr. Hall of the cholera.
Mrs. Hall is in this country.

The last survey stated the amount of printing done at the Mission Press during the three years and a half preceding Dec. 31, 1823. The seventeenth Report of the Prudential Committee describes the operations of the press, during the 18 subsequent months, as follows:

Genesis, 135 pages 8vo.

copies 3,000 Extra copies of the first 40 pages, 1,000 Astronomica! and geographical tract, 64 p. 8vo. 1,500 Small catechism, second ed. 16 p. 8vo. 5,000 Acts of the Apostles, sec. ed. 88 pages, 8vo. 4,000

14,500

"The expense of these books was about g1,350. Some small circulars for the mission. and Reports for several societies were also published at the mission-press. In the first six months of 1825, no new tracts had been printed; but a new edition of the Scripture history. (10.000 copies,) had been commenced. This was to be followed immediately by an English and Mahratta school-book, intended to promote morality and the true religion. The new Testament was printed in order, as far as Philipians, the small epistles having also been published.

"A new fount of Nagree types had been procured from Calcutta, which would render it easy to issue

school-books of a superior quality. For this species of publication there were many inducements; and doubt less the demand for books of many kinds will increase regularly, till all that part of India shall have experienced the happy change, which the Gospel, accompanied by pure morality and genuine philosophy, will accomplish ere long."

A fact, stated by Mr. Hall, and published at p. 205 of our last volume, shows, very strikingly, how much good may be silently effected by the numerous Christian publications issued from the press at Bombay.-The New-Testament, in Mahratta, as translated by the missionaries of the Board, was carried through the press before the death of Mr. Hall.

Of the schooling system, the Report speaks as follows:

"It appears from a printed document, issued by the missionaries at the commencement of the present year, that the number of common schools under their superintendence was thirty-two, and the number of children on the lists of the teachers, 1.750. Of these pupils, 75 were girls, and 133 were Jewish children. During the preceding year, 1,000 pupils, as nearly as could be ascertained, had left these schools. having obtained, in general, what the natives esteem a sufficiently good school education. Among those, who have left the schools in preceding years down to the date of the document here referred to, the missionaries say there "are many boys and young men, who can read with a fluency and propriety, that would put to shame a great majority of the common brahmins." Wherever these youths are afterwards met in the country, they are among the first to solicit and read the Christian Scriptures and tracts. In not a few instances, fathers have solicited books for their little sons. The education of female children is viewed in its just light by the missionaries; and they have taken peculiar pains to break down the prejudies of the people on this subject. Considering the strength of these prejudices, much has already been done, and the way is fast preparing for a general revolution of public opinion. Numerous and urgent applications are inade for new schools; but it is necessary to decline them all, until larger funds and more laborers can be furnished."

The joint letter of the missionaries, inserted in our last volume, pp. 101, 102, together with Mr. Hall's appeal to the American churches, printed at p. 312, strongly prove, that in work preparatory to great and visible success, the mission had, in ten years, made much progress.

II. CEYLON.

A large island in the Indian sea, separated from the coast of Coromandel by a channel, called the Straits of Manaar. Length, 300 miles, breadth 200. Population 1,500,000. It constitutes one of the British governments in India, but is not under the control of the East India Company.

The missionaries of the Board are in the northern, or Tamul division of the island, in the district of Jaffna. Commenced in 1816. Stations at Tillipally, BattiCotta, Oodooville, Panditeripo, Manepy, and Kaits.

TILLIPALLY.-Nine miles north of Jaffnapatam. Established in 1816.

Rev. Henry Woodward, Missionary.

Nicholas Permander, Native Preacher; M. Tumban, Teacher of English; Jordan Lodge, Native Assistant; Charles Hodge, Native Superintendent of Schools.

BATTICOTTA.-Six miles north west of Jaffnapatam. 1817.

Rev. Benjamin C. Meigs, Missionary, Rev. Daniel Poor, Missionary, and Principal of the Central School; and their wives.

Gabriel Tissera, Native Preacher, and Teacher in the Central School; Timothy Dwight, Native Assistant Teacher in the Central School; Ebenezer Porter, Native Assistant.

It would seem, from one of the documents received from the mission, that Samuel

Rev. Miron Winslow, Missionary, and Mrs. Winslow.

Aaseervatham, Native Assistant; Solomon, Native Superintendent of Schools.

PANDITEKIPO.-Nine miles north-west of Jaffnapatam. 1820.

Rev. John Scudder. M D. Missionary and Physician; and Mrs. Scudder.

Ponumbalum, and Sandery Sagery, Native Teachers of English; Samuel Willis, Native Assistant.

MANEPY.-Four miles and a half north-west of Jaffnapatam. 1821.

Rev. Levi Spaulding, Missionary; and Mrs. Spaulding.

Veerasingum, Native Superintendent of Schools.

KAITS.-The residence of two zealous and faithful native brethren, who visit the neighboring villages, and take charge of two small schools. 1824.

[blocks in formation]

During the past year, the school at Tillipally has received the boys from Panditeripo and Manepy, and now bears the same relation to the Central School at Batticotta, that academies in this country sustain to colleges. This leaves the missionaries at two of the stations more at liberty to preach the Gospel.--Te school for girls, formerly at Oodooville, was removed to Manepy. on account of the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Winslow at Calcutta. See vol. xxii, p. 196.-The number of pup.ls was 31, of whom one third were members of the church. The Central School at Batticotta, at the latest dates, contained 53 pupils, of whom 22 were members of the church. A full account of this school was given at pp. 347 --350 of our last volume. The difficulties in the way of assigning to this institution the name of a College, are enumerated at p. 377, 388 of the same volume.--Mrs. Woodward died Nov. 24, 1825. Mrs. Knight, formerly Mrs. Richards, died at Nellore, near the American mission, April 25, of the same year. The Report thus describes the state of the schools:

"The school system of this mission is very interesting, and promises the most happy results. At the commencement of the year 1825, there were 59 charitv schools, containing 2,414 boys, and 255 girls, on the list of pupils, taught by 68 schoolmasters. In the boarding schools, there were 126 boys, and 31 girls; making the whole number of children under Chris tian instruction no less than 2,824. On account of the prevalence of the cholera, a part of the schools were afterward suspended, and some for other causes. The number of scholars in the Boarding Schools was somewhat above 200 in February last; but no particular account of the other schools was then communicated. "Several of the schoolmasters have become pious, and a large proportion of them are deeply serious. They already exert a very favorable influence upon the interests of the mission. The more forward and intelligent of the pious youths pursue the same plan of publicly speaking on religious subjects, which has been mentioned in the previous history of the mission." With respect to female education, the following remarks are made:

influence of Christian principle, diffused by education, by example, and by persevering labor in all these ways, accompanied by the special agency of the Holy Spirit. One of the first impediments to the improvement of females, is the difficulty of finding any em ployment for them compatible with cultivation of mind, or elevation of character. But such employments will be found, as true civilization shall advance under the auspices of Christianity."

III. THE CHEROKEES.

A tribe of Indians, inhabiting a tract of country inIcluded within the chartered limits of the States of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Population about 15,000.

Commenced in 1817. Stations at Brainerd, Carmel, Creek path, Hightower, Willstown, Haweis, and Candy's Creek.

BRAINERD.-One mile north of the 35th parallel of latitude, and seven miles S. E. of the Tennessee river; consequently in that part of the Cherokee country, which falls within the limits of Tennessee. This place is about 250 miles from Augusta, Georgia, near the road, which runs in a N. W. direction from that eity to Nashville. Established in 1817.

Rev. Samuel A. Worcester, Missionary; John C. Elsworth, Teacher, and Superintendent of Secular Concerns; John Vail Farmer; Ainsworth E. Blunt, Farmer and Mechanic; Luke Fernal, Mechanic; and their wives; Sophia Sawyer, Teacher.

CARMEL.-In the chartered limits of Geogia, on the road from Augusta to Nashville, 46 miles N. W. of the Chatahochee river (which is the S. E. boundary of the Cherokee country,) and 62 miles from Brainerd.

1820.

Rev. Daniel S Butrick, Missionary; Isaac Proctor, Teacher, Mrs. Proctor; Henry Parker, Farmer, Mrs. Parker; Josiah Hemmingway, Farmer.

CREEK-PATH.-In the chartered limits of Alabama, four miles south of the Tennessee river, (which is here the N. W. boundary of the Cherokee country,) and 40 S. S. E. of Huntsville. 1820.

John Huss, Native Assistant.

HAWEIS.-About 50 miles S. of Brainerd, within the chartered limits of Geogia. 1823.

Dr. Elizur Butler, Physician and Catechist, Mrs. Butler.

CANDY'S CREEK.-Within the chartered limits of Tennessee, 25 miles N. E. of Brainerd, and 10 miles S. W. of the Cherokee agency on the Hiwassee. 1824. William Holland, Teacher and Farmer, Mrs. Holland.

"As various portions of Indian territory are often spoken of, as lying within certain states of the Union, it is proper to say here, that the conventional limits of different states, whether fixed by the states themselves, or by congress, do not affect the Indian titles to the territories in question. It has always been admitted by our national authorities, as it must be by every candid man, that the tribes of Indians in North America have a perfect right to the soil of their ancestors, now in their own occupancy, unless they or their fathers have voluntarily relinquished that right for a good consider

ation. When we speak, therefore, of Indian territory, as lying in the state of Tennessee, or the state of Georgia, it is not intended that the Indians there residing are subject to the laws of the whites; or that the running of a line through their country, or marking it upon a map, has any effect to impair their claims, or dispossess them of their patrimonial inheritance. The only way, in which this inheritance can be alienated, is by treaties fairly and honorably made, and with the full assent of the present owners.

"So far as the Indian title is rightfully extinguished, the property falls into the hands of the national government, or of the separate states, according to stipulations now existing. The right of sovereignty will, in every case, belong to the state, within whose conventional limits the territory now lies. These remarks have appeared proper, as the right of the Indians to their own land. from the manner in which the subject has often been presented to the mind, is overlooked and forgotten."

Mrs. Dean, who left Brainerd last year, on account of declining health, died on the 21st of May last; and Mr. Dean's services, in consequence of uncertainty whether his health would allow him to resume his appropriate work, were relinquished. He is succeeded by Mr. Fernal. Mr. Hall and Mr Frederick Elsworth have also retired from the service of the Board with their families; the former on account of the ill health of Mrs. Hall, but with the consolation of reflecting, that God has seen fit to honor his labors in a somewhat remarkable manner: the latter on account of the very precarious state of his own health, which led him to submit his case to the Committee, who gave him an honorable discharge.--Mr. Manwaring, mentioned in the survey of last year as connected with the station of Carmel, withdrew from the mission after having labored one year.

The number of pupils in the missionary schools at the above stations, is probably about 200.

The survey of this mission will be closed with a few miscellaneous extracts, of an interesting nature, from the Report.

"The schools at Brainerd were never in a better state than during the present year. The pupils have been orderly, obedient, studious, and making good proficiency. When the Corresponding Secretary visited the school for boys, in March last, not a word was missed by the whole school in spelling. One of the boys, ten or eleven years old, who had been in school less than five months, not having previously learned the alphabet, was spelling in words of three syllables, and had never missed but a single word. Considering what it is for children to learn to spell in a foreign language, and how very ambiguous and deceitful the English alphabet is, these facts certainly prove an extraordinary attention of the mind."

"An Indian named Big Bear, and his wife, were admitted to the church last winter. The man is since dead. He appeared to be a true convert. An aged Cherokee woman, who had great grand children in the school soon after its commencement, and who had evinced the power of religion upon her heart for six years, has also been removed to a better world, as we trust, there to associate with Catherine Brown, to whom she was personally attached, and with several others from among her people, who gave evidence of intelligent faith and holy love, and are justly counted precious fruit of this mission.'

Carmel:-"The state of society at this place is much improved. There is comparatively little intemperance in the vicinity. Not a few instances of hopeful conversion have been witnessed, and some of distin guished piety."

Willstown:-"The influence of this station has been felt, in a great reformation of morals among the people who inhabit Wills Valley. When the first missionary came here to reside, only three years ago, the intemperate use of ardent spirits was almost universal. Now that pernicious article is entirely disused by the great majority of the people; and riotous assemblages for the purpose of drinking, are unknown."

"The little church, gathered here in the wilderness, Rev. Cyrus Byington, Missionary; David continues to shed forth the cheering light of a holy ex-Wright, Teacher, Mrs. Wright; Mrs. Sarah C.

ample. Fourteen Cherokees and one back man, have been worthy members, so far as the human eye can discern. Quite recently, one of this number, a young woman, died in a very happy manner, leaving an excellent character, having given most gratifying evidence of piety.

"The man, who is now employed part of the time as a native teacher, and who received the name of John Huss at his baptism, stands high as a consistent Christian, both in the judgment of the missionaries, and in the estimation of his countrymen. Apt to acquire knowledge, and happy in his talent of communicating it, he is very acceptable as a speaker. He seems to apprehend the great doctrines of the Gospel clearly. and to be capable of presenting them clearly to others. He studies passages in the New Testament as translated, and transcribes them to be read by his friends and neighbors. His zeal and public spirit, in the work of enlightening his people, are worthy of high commendation."

General Remark:-"The experience of another year enables the Committee to say, that the transforming efficacy of the Christian religion, both upon individuals and upon neighborhoods, is now seen in different parts of the Cherokee nation. If the same efficacy should pervade every part, a most lovely branch of the church universal would here unfold its flowers and dispense its fruit. Still there are powerful counteracting causes. The most obvious are the ease, with which intoxicating liquor is brought to the doors of the people, and the eagerness, with which a large portion of them yield to its pernicious influence."

IV. THE CHOCTAWS.

A tribe of Indians, residing between the Tombigbee and the Mississippi rivers, almost wholly within the chartered limits of Mississippi, with but a small part in Alabama. Population about 20,000.

Commenced in 1818. Stations at Elliot, Mayhew, Bethel, Emmaus, Goshen, Ai-ik-huu-nuh, Hachah, Boke-e-tun-nuh, and one other at a Mr. Juzon's.

ELLIOT.-Within the chartered limits of Mississippi on the Yalobusha creek, in latitude 33 and a half, about 50 miles east of the Mississippi river. 1818.

John Smith, Farmer and Superintendent of Secular Concerns, Joel Wood, Teacher, Zechariah Howes, Farmer; and their wives.

MAYHEW.-Ninety miles E. of Elliot, and about 25 miles W. of the line, which separates Mississippi from Alabama, and near Ouktibbeha creek, one of the western branches of the Tombeckbee. 1820,

Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury, Missionary, and Superintendent of the Choctaw Mission, Calvin Cushman, Farmer; and their wives; William Hooper, Teacher; Anna Burnham, Teacher.

BETHEL.-On the Natchez road, about 60 miles S. W. of Mayhew, and nearly the same distance S. S. E. of Elliot. 1821.

Stephen B. Macomber, Teacher, Mrs. Macomber; Adin C. Gibbs, Teacher; Philena Thatcher, Teacher.

EMMAUS.-About 110 miles N. N. W. of Mobile, and 130 S. S. E. of Mayhew, within two miles of the southern limit of the Choctaw country. 1822.

Moses Jewell, Assistant Missionary, Mrs. Jewell; David Gage, Teacher, Mrs. Gage.

GOSHEN.-About 50 miles W. N. W. of Emmaus, 115 S. S. W. of Mayhew, and 8 S. E. of the Military road. 1824.

Reverend Alfred Wright, Missionary, Mrs. Wright; Elijah Bardwell, Teacher, Mrs. Bardwell; Ebenezer Bliss, Farmer; Eliza Buer.

AI-IK-HUN-NUH.-Near the Natchez road, about 35 miles W. of Mayhew, and 60 E. S. E. of Elliot.

1824.

VOL. XXÙII.

Moseley.

HACHAH. About 50 N. W. of Goshen, and a mile E. of Pearl river. 1824.

Mr. Anson Gleason, Teacher, Mrs. Gleason. BOKE-E-TUN-NUH.-A few miles from Emmaus.

1825.

Loring S. Williams, Assistant Missionary, Mrs. Williams.

SCHOOL AT MR. JUZON'S. About 85 miles 3. S. E. of Mayhew, on the old Mobile road. 1823. This school was without a teacher, at the time the Board held its annual meeting.

"It is believed that the discouragements, which have gathered around this mission in soine periods of its history, are diminishing. The advantages of education are more justly appreciated by a part of the people, than they were formerly. The more thinking and intelligent perceive, that civilization or extinction must be the lot of all the Indian tribes within our borders."

V. THE CHEROKEES OF THE ARKANSAS.

Cherokees, who, from the year 1804 to the present time, have removed from their residence E. of the Mississippi, to a tract of country on the N. bank of the Arkansas river, between longitude 94 and 95 W. Population about 5,000. The greater part of this emigra tion took place between 1816 and is20.

DWIGHT.-Situated on the north side of the Arkansas river, about three miles up Illinois creek, and very near latitude 35. The Mississippi river, at the nearest point, is probably somewhat less than 200 miles distant. 1820.

Rev. Alfred Finney and Rev. Cephas Washburn, Missionaries, George L. Weed, M. D. Teacher and Physician, Jacob Hitchcock, Steward, James Orr, Farmer, Samuel Wisner and Asa Hitchcock, Mechanics, and their wives; Ellen Stetson and Cynthia Thrall, Teachers.

It is probable that a station has been formed, by Mr. Finney, at SPADRE CREEK.

"Mr. John Brown, the father of Catharine and David, continues to exhibit a bright example of piety and benevolence. He and some others are extremely desirous, that the offers of salvation should be embraced by the people generally. It would seem, however, that the prospects of this part of the tribe are not so good, as those of the Cherokees on the east of the Mississippi; and, so far as experience in their case is entitled to consideration, it would not seem desirable that the Indians should be removed from the land of their fathers."

VI. THE OSAGES.

A tribe of Indians in the Arkansas and Missouri Territories. Population about 8,000. Missions at Union, Hopefield, Harmony, and Neosho.

UNION.-Among the Osages of the Arkansas, on the west bank of Grand river, about 25 miles north of its entrance into the Arkansas. Commenced in

1820.

Rev. William F. Vaill, Missionary, Mrs. Vaill; Marcus Palmer, Physician and Licensed Preacher, Mrs. Palmer; John M. Spaulding, Teacher; Stephen Fuller, Farmer, Mrs. Fuller; Abraham Redfield, and Alexander Woodruff, Mechanics, and their wives; George Requa and George Douglass, Assistants, Mrs. Requa.

HOPEFIELD.-About three miles from Union.

1822.

Rev. William B. Montgomery, Missionari; William C. Requa, Assistant, Mrs. Requa.
