Early this morning, accompanied by Messrs. Friend and Smith, went to a village three miles distant; where Br. Smith addressed crowds; and, at the river-side, met two friendly De. votees; one offered me a pot of sugar, and the other defended our system: they have both, long ago, offered themselves as Candidates for Baptism; but, as they express no compunction for sin, and do not appear to be influenced by proper feelings. I could not encourage them. To-day, Nicodemus scame with a poor Hindoo W oman, whom he has been labouring to bring to the knowledge of the Truth, telling her that he had embraced Christianity, and that Christ was the only Saviour. In the Bazaar, people heard, but would not acc accept of books: several asked for the Geeta and the Ramayan, when they were shewn the evil tendency of the doctrines contained in them.

Jan. 25: Sunday-To-day, Mr. Friend preached a Sermon in behalf of the Church Missionary Society, and a Collection was made of about 100 Rupees. During the day, three Brahmins from a village came; they had seen and heard me before: they now heard Thakoor read Sin no Trifle, and admitted the absurdity and futility of the Hindoo System, approved of Christianity, and accepted Tracts and the Gospels. They seemed perfectly aware of the persecution which they should be called to suffer for favouring this Religion,

Jan. 26-Early every morning, as usual, the young Gosaen reads the New Testament to several others, in my study, where the Catechumens assemble, and are catechized.

Jan. 29— This evening had a Meet ing for the formation of a Missionary Association, for Chunar and its Vicinity. Neither of our Benares friends could come over to assist us. I sincerely hope that this Association will be of essential benefit to the Europeans and other Professing Christians at Chunar, as well as to the Heathen around us. Hitherto, all have kept aloof, as if they had nothing to do with the publication of the Gospel among the Heathen; and the professors of Christianity seemed to act as if they

had nothing to do but to mind their own spiritual concerns.

Jan. 31, 1829-This evening was an interesting one, passed in reading to crowds and arguing with a Mussulman Devotee. In the Chapel, Br. Wilkinson preached in Hinduwee. Thus has the Lord preserved us to the close of another month. May the seed sown redound to His glory, and to the good of many souls! Feb. 1: Sunday—Last night, had little rest. A good deal of uneasiness, from the absence of the Devotee Lad, who bas, for the last six weeks, been preparing for Baptism: he was led astray, and was found asleep in my palkee this morning he came very early, and read the Gospel with others. Today, entreated for Baptism. I positively refused, stating my reasons.

March 1: Sunday-Very early this morning, the Reader, who accompanied Christian to Mirzapore, came into my study, and gave a most pleasing account of their proceedings. The first stage on their way, they put up at a large village, where they had crowds to hear them; and they gave away many books. Again, at the Ferry, many heard gladly, and accepted of Tracts. At Mirzapore, they found upward of 70 Boys in both the Schools: they went out regularly, morning and evening, to to the people and to distribute books. Among the Court Officers d people

Feb, 20-Two of our Assistants have been reading to the people in our neighbourhood: at first, a good deal of enmity s shewn; but a better spirit is now manifested, and several have come for Books. David Thakoor has s been res moved to Chunar; where he will read to the people daily, and have opportunities for his own own improvement. A keeper seems to be inquiring long 0 late, though he manifests too much conceit for Cuveer's System, and pride in his own cunningness.

dissolved; and I have to render an account to God." The man then asked what he got by embracing Christianity: he replied, "The knowledge and obe dience of the True God are worth more than all other riches: this is what I have obtained." In the course of conversation, Nicodemus came in with Swardgham, who is just returned from his village, and said, that he felt grieved for the remains of sin which he finds in himself, and seemed to doubt of its consistency with grace in the soul. On being told that a Believer never obtained perfection in this life, he replied, “For our consolation, this should be remembered; notwithstanding," he continued, I feel a desire and anxiety to be freed from all sin in the body." He was told that that should be the aim of every Christian; he then directed his conversation to Swardgham, saying, that he felt grieved that his voice was gone; time was, when he used to sing the songs of Zion day and night, and was generally melted in love; whereas, singing two or three hymns now tired him.

March 5,1829-To-day, busied in sending things on board a boat; and at 7 P. M. left Chunar, with my daughter and her two Native Girls; and came up to Christian's Village, where his wife and sister, and Thakoor's mother, who is still a Heathen, came on board. When they left us, Christian, Swargdham, Thakoor, and the Lalla, came on board, and proceeded on to Benares during the night. About 7 the next morning, got to the Ghaut, where crowds of Hindoos were bathing. Christian Thakoor and the Lalla read, and I answered several questions. In the afternoon, the Readers went to the same Ghaut; whilst Mr.Smith and I went in a little boat, and read and distributed books.

8 March 7—Early, Thakoor, the Lalla, and Swardgham read; whilst Christian expounded the Tract, in verse, to crowds at the Ghaut. On being told of the effect which this Tract had on Christian, Mr. Smith said, that last year, at the Fair opposite Dinapore, he saw a Devotee absorbed in reading the Geeta with tears: he offered him a Tract: the man refused with contempt, adducing his own book in preference: next morning he went again to the man; and the man himself desired the book which he had offered him. Mr. Smith gave him the Tract in verse; and it had such an effect on

aside, and left off eating ; and when Smith, in his perambulations, went there a day or two after, he found the man in deep distress, with his face covered with a blanket. The man's disciples 'now came up to Mr. Smith, and told him all that had taken place since he read the Tract-that the Gooroo had been put out of his right mind; and entreated him to use his influence to dispossess him, or deliver him from the charms of his book. On hearing Mr. Smith's voice, the man jumped up, and acknowledged him his Gooroo : Mr. Smith spoke to, and prevailed upon him to eat: he would, however, forsake all, and follow Mr. Smith. On seeing this, the Chilas (disciples), like the Ephesians of old, cried out to the Devotees for help;" saying, that the Gentleman had bewitched their Gooroo, and was now going off with him. A crowd of blood-thirsty fellows soon assembled with bludgeons, took the Gooroo away by force, bound him hand and feet, and detained him before the idols." Mr. Smith deemed it prudent to say nothing, but retired. In the afternoon, all went to the heart of the city, where they read and distributed books.

March 8 Early this morning," all went to the Ghaut, and read and gave away books.

March 12-Reached the City of Ghazeepore, where the Readers read to great crowds; and both at the Ghaut, as well as in the Bazaar, gave away many Tracts. Many entreated us to remain four or five days, in order to inquire; but we could not comply with their request.

March 13-At two large villages, the Readers gave away many books. In the evening we arrived at Buxar.

March 14-After Prayer this morning, went, with Kurrum Messeeh and the other two Readers, to the Bazaar; where they stood at the corner of one of the streets, and read aloud the Tract in verse, Sin no Trifle, and Tract in manuscript, and gave away books. At 9 A. M. left Buxar, Kurrum Messeeh accompanying us.

who has so much as suspected the Zemindar or Charles of any improper motives in embracing Christianity: every mouth, wherever we went, seemed struck dumb before them.
