CHRONICLE.
SUMMARY.
We have the pleasure of presenting our Readers with another historical sketch of Polynesian Missions, in the introduction and triumphs of the Gospel in the Navigators' Islands. The facts recorded are no less instructive and interesting than those narrated in former numbers; and the authenticity of the narrative is guaranteed by the character and position of the writer, who was himself not only a witness of what he reports, but one of the first’Agents honoured by God in effecting this great and happy change among the Islanders of Samoa.
We are glad also to place on our pages a condensed sketch, from the pen of an intelligent and devoted Missionary of our Society, of the commencement and progress of the* Gospel among the Karens, one of the most uncivilized and barbarous native tribes of India. In effecting this great work, our American Baptist Brethren have been the self-denying and persevering labourers; and aided by a noble band of Native Evangelists, a mighty social and moral change has been wrought, exhibiting the power and the grace of God, and supplying an encouragement to Christian Missionaries amidst the greatest difficulties to which they can be exposed.
Our intelligence from British India must be read with lively interest and gratitude. It is gratifying, notwithstanding some examples to the contrary, that our countrymen in power administer their authority with equity and firmness, determined to carry out the Proclamation of the Queen, that “ none be in anywise favoured, none molested or disquieted, by reason of their religious faith or observances, but that all shall alike enjoy the equal and impartial protection of the law.”
The letter of our friend Mr. Sherring is also cheering, evincing, as it does, the restoration of peace and order; and proving that in many of the scenes where war and desolation so lately prevailed, the blessings of the Gospel arc now increasingly sought by numbers of the Hindoo population.
We have the mournful duty of announcing the departure of another veteran among our Indian Missionaries. The venerable Joseph Taylor, like his Brother Lacroix, whom he so soon followed to the grave, diligently served his Divine Master for full forty years—a long and laborious life f or a Missionary in India.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE SAMOAN MISSION.
The Group of Islands, the seat of this Mission, was, till lately, known only by the name of The Navigators' Islands; but this designation is now being superseded by that of Samoa, the name applied to it by the natives. It lies in the South Pacific Ocean, between the latitudes of 13° AtY and 11° 3O1 S., and the longitudes of 1G8° and 173° W. It consists of eight islands and a few islets, which together contain nearly 1700 square miles. The names of the islands, in their order from east to west, are, Tau, Olosenga, Ofu, Tutuila, IJpolu, Manono, Apolima, and Savaii. The principal of these are Savaii, the most western, about 130, Upolu about 120, and Tutuila, about 10 miles in circumference. The rest are smaller.
All the islands are of volcanic formation. They are beautifully diversified, and of moderate height—tlie highest mountains rising to an elevation of between -1000 and 5000 feet. The larger islands contain some splendid valleys, and large tracts of the finest land; and they are well watered, and enlivened by numerous streams and waterfalls. They possess greater capabilities, contain a greater variety of trees and plants, and are clothed with a richer and more varied vegetation than even the lovely island of Tahiti. From whatever side you approach, they rise from the sea with their mountains covered to the summits with luxuriant forests of evergreens, and their slopes and shores, clothed with bright perennial foliage.
The inhabitants are a fine people, belonging to the same race as the Tongese, Hervey Islanders, and Tahitians. They are generally above the middle size, of a reddish-brown colour, with black hair and fine dark eyes—in features not very unlike Europeans, and capable of high intellectual and moral cultivation.
But, in their heathen state, the Samoans were awfully degraded, both in mind and morals. For though they were not such gross idolaters, and had not so many inhuman practices as some other islanders, and were in some respects even a semicivilized and polite people, yet their social condition was characterized by much that was cliildish and capricious, obscene and cruel. Polygamy and concubinage prevailed among them to a great extent. Selfishness, envy, and deceit, pride, jealousy, and a disposition to revenge the least slight or wrong, excited among them continual strifes and exterminating wars, in which cold-blooded and relentless cruelties were perpetrated. They were also emphatically a people that had lost the knowledge of God. Like many ancient pagans, they worshipped and dreaded innumerable imaginary gods and genii. Of the works of God they were entirely ignorant, and they had no proper ideas of sin, or any knowledge of future retribution.
Such was their social and religious state, till the light of the Gospel broke in upon their dense darkness, in 1830. Previously, from a fear of their savage and ferocious habits, foreigners shunned intercourse with these islanders; and it was not till after the Missionary barque anchored at their shores, and left Christian teachers among them, that they began to bo more fully known. In the month of August of that year, the lamented John Williams, and Mr. Barff of Huahine, placed the first Native Teachers, from the Society Islands, eight in number, at Sapapalii, on the island of Savaii. On their way to Samoa, these Missionary brethren touched at Tongataboo, and there met with a Samoan chief, who had been some time on that island, and had thus obtained a partial knowledge of Christianity. This chief accompanied the Missionaries to Samoa, and there employed his knowledge

nd his influence in strongly recommending both their persons and their religion to the favour of his countrymen. Another event, indicating that God had prepared the way for the teachers, was the death, a few days before their arrival, of Tama-fainga. This person was a sort of high priest of heathenism. He possessed almost absolute influence over the superstitious feelings of the Samoans, and combined with this all but supreme political power; and this influence and power would probably have been exerted to prevent the settlement of the teachers. Tamafainga’s death at once facilitated their settlement, and, being taken under the protection of Malietoa, then the most powerful chief on the islands, they entered upon their labours under favourable circumstances.
Mr. Williams again visited Samoa in 1832.' On reaching Tati, the most eastern island of the Group, he was surprised to find that the Gospel had already been introduced to its shores, having been brought there by some natives of Ravavai, one of the Austral Islands, nearly 2000 miles distant. These natives had left Ravavai in a boat, for a neighbouring island, but were driven far out of their course, and after drifting about on the ocean for nearly three months, they reached Tab, where they commenced Christian worship. A few natives had joined them, and were waiting for the Missionary ship, of which they had heard, and which they expected would bring Missionaries to their land. On reaching Savaii, Mr. Williams received an enthusiastic welcome from the people, and was rejoiced to learn that both the teachers and their families were well and their work prospering. Heathenism was partially abandoned in several villages on Savaii, Manono, Upoln, and Tutuila. Many of the people had actually eaten the fish and other animals which they formerly worshipped as gods, and dreaded to injure, or even to touch. The scenes presented when these daring converts, for the first time, fed upon their gods, were both amusing and impressive. Some daringly devoured them, others, with cautious hesitancy, put the dreaded morsels into their mouths, while the astonished and awe-struck beholders waited, like the Miletans, expecting to see them swell or fall down dead. But when all passed off without any calamity, they concluded that Jehovah was the true God ; and the beholders, taking courage, followed the example of their neighbours. Popo the war-god of Sapapalii, a piece of decayed matting, narrowly escaped being drowned. The people had tied a stone to this rude form, and were about to sink it in a watery grave; but the teachers, discovering their intentions, rescued the ill-fated god, to present him as a trophy of the triumphs of the Gospel.
The Mission was visited and re-inforced with additional Native Teachers, by Messrs. Barff and Buzacott, in 1834: and Mr. Platt landed in Samoa in the following year, and remained with the Teachers till the European Missionaries arrived, in 1836.
Previously to the settlement of these labourers, certain runaway seamen had induced some of the people to profess what they called Christianity, and had gone so far as to baptize a few individuals. One or two of these men had, however, taught a few of the Natives some of the doctrines of Christianity, and advised them, when the Missionaries arrived, to attend to their instructions. A Samoan, also, who had visited the Society Islands, had set up a new religious sect, and had gained n considerable number of followers. This sect was called, from the name of its originator, “ Le Mu Siovili," that is, The religion of Joe Gimblet. The observances : this sect consisted chiefly in listening to a series of senseless sounds uttered 1 y their leader, and in feasting, and firing of muskets,

But while these evils had to be encountered, God so largely blessed the labours of the Teachers, that a considerable number of the people on the several islands professed Christianity, and chapels were built in many villages, in which public worship was regularly observed. Yet it will be readily supposed that these professed converts knew but little of its spiritual nature, and were, in fact, with few exception-, heathens in almost everything but name.
Such was the state of things when the Missionaries appointed to this Mission, six in number, five of them being married, arrived, in June, 1836. These brethren and sisters were accompanied by Mr. Barff of Huahine, and Mr. and Mrs. Buzacott of Rarotonga, who came to assist them in commencing their work, and .the latter of whom, with his excellent wife, remained some months, and rendered invaluable service.
The first thing done by the Missionaries after their arrival, was to convene a meeting of the principal chiefs and people. On this most important and deeply interesting occasion, the newly arrived Teachers asked the chiefs if they were willing to receive them, and if they and their people would promise to place themselves under their instruction; and further, whether, in the event of war, they would grant both them and their wives, and their property, protection, though they took no other part than that of endeavouring to become peacemakers. To these questions the chiefs readily replied that, as far as it was in their power, all these things should be done. The Missionaries then made arrangements for their future settlement, and a few days afterwards removed to their several Stations on Savaii, Manouo, Upolu, and Tutuila.
By constant intercourse with the people, and diligent attention to the acquisition of the language, some of the Missionaries were soon able to teach in the schools, and to preach the Gospel to the natives. And by frequent tours round the islands, and preaching and conversing with the people in the villages, and by visiting the sick and administering medicines for their relief, the attention of the people was soon very generally awakened to the claims of the Gospel. Large numbers abandoned heathenism, and were desirous to learn what the Missionaries taught. New chapels were built in distant places, and the people desired to have Native Teachers settled among them. The congregations greatly increased, and the Word preached was attended with such a Divine power, that many were made to feel their utter sinfulness and danger, and seek salvation through the grace of Christ. So that as early as the 26th of March, 1837, Mr. Hardie had the pleasure of forming, at Sapapalii, a Christian Church, consisting of eleven Native Members. Very soon after, Mr. Heath formed a church on Manono, and in the following year infant churches were formed on Upolu and Tutuila.
As the Missionaries became more fully acquainted with the language and the people, and were able to employ members of their Churches to aid them in their work, God increasingly blessed their labours. Heathenism was soon almost universally abandoned, and numbers were constantly added to the churches, till, in 1812, the Church at Sapapalii numbered nearly five hundred members, and results equally gratifying attended the labours of the Missionaries at most of the other Stations. Polygamy, and other heathen customs, were voluntarily abandoned, and although wars and their attendant evils subsequently greatly hindered the progress of civilization, education, and religion; yet all the main operations of the Mission have from that period been steadily prosecuted, and great success has attended the


FOR MARCH, 18G0.
53
labours of the Missionaries and the Native Evangelists. As the work throughout the different islands is in character the same, it is not necessary to give separate accounts of the several Stations.
In commencing their labours, the Missionaries felt that a first place must be given to the acquisition of the language, and the reducing it to writing. And having settled the alphabet, they devoted, in connection with the preaching of the Gospel and oral instruction, vigorous attention to the translation and printing of elementary books and portions of the Scriptures. In the early stages of the Mission, they were indebted to their brethren of the Society and Hervey Islands Missions for the printing of a small edition of the Gospel of Matthew, and sundry elementary books. In 1839 the first printing press arrived, and in July of that year, printing was commenced in Samoa. The natives took a marvellous interest in the wonderful “ lomitusi ” (printing press). They called it the fountain whence the Word of God (lowed to all Samoa. For years it was most interesting and amusing to see. from day to day, the native youths working the press, surrounded by numbers of their countrymen, standing as if riveted to the spot, and gazing with intense interest, now speechless with wonder, and now shouting with delight; the young printers doing their utmost to show with what dexterity they could throw off the sheets, and their visitors loud and lavish in their praises of the workmen. The press was a mighty acquisition to the Mission, and enabled the Missionaries to put rapidly into the hands of the people successive portions of the sacred Scriptures and other valuable books.
In 184G the translation of the entire New Testament was completed and printed, including a second edition of the Gospels of Matthew and John. A revised version was sent to England in 1818, of which an edition of 15,000 was printed by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The last portion of the Old Testament was printed at the Mission press in 1855, and a revised edition of the whole Bible is now on its way to England to be printed. No care or labour has been spared by the Missionaries to give the Samoans a faithful and idiomatic translation of the Scripturc3 from the originals. To this most important work tlrey have devoted much time and patient and earnest labour. Besides the sacred Scriptures, there have also been translated and printed at the Mission press, volumes of notes and comments on several books of the New Testament and the Psalms, Volumes of Sermons for Native Teachers, Hymn Books and Doctrinal Catechisms, Scripture and Church Histories, books on Geography, Astronomy, and Arithmetic, Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, a Native Magazine and Calendar, and a half-yearly Newspaper in English, Ac., besides some elementary books for other islands. These books are highly prized and eagerly purchased by the natives, especially the Scriptures ; and for these, and other books, they have paid at least £2000.
Being convinced that all tribes and nations to whom the Gospel is carried, must ultimately depend for the prosecution of evangelistic and pastoral labours upon a native ministry, the Samoan Missionaries, from the commencement, kept the raising of such a ministry in view. They found it impossible alone to supply the widely scattered population with constant instruction and the preaching of the Gospel, and at their several Stations they selected the most suitable of the Church Members, and trained them to aid them in their work. With these assistants the numerous villages were supplied with teachers, and the population generally was early brought under the regular and continuous preaching of the Gospel.
The first special attempt to give the Native Teachers a superior training, was


54
MISSIONARY MAGAZINE
made in 1838, when several promising individuals were sent from the different Stations to be instructed by Mr. Hardie at Sapapalii. In 1841, at the unanimous request of the brethren of the Mission, Mr. Hardie left that important Station, and in union with Mr. Turner, commenced “ the Samoan Mission Seminaryan institution which God has greatly blessed, which every year from its commencement lias increased in efficiency, and which has sent out a large number of educated youths and Christian labourers to Samoa and other islands. By the returns in September, 1858, it appears that one hundred and forty Evangelists and Teachers had enjoyed the advantages of this Institution ; of whom, ninety-one were labouring in Sami;, and sixteen at Stations on the Loyalty Islands, the New Hebrides, and Savaae Island ; many, together with their devoted wives, had died of their sufferings amoi e the heathen, and some had fallen by the murderous hands of the savages to whom they carried the Gospel. The wives of the teachers (and nearly all are married) are educated in the institution as well as their husbands. Special attention is paid to their instruction by the wives of the tutors ; and so highly are the labours of these female teachers prized in Samoa, that instances have occurred of inferior men beiii preferred on account of the high qualifications of their wives, and the value put upon their labours.
In the High School connected with the Institution, a number of native youths, nearly equal to that of the teachers, has also been educated. Many natives from the Loyally Islands, the New Hebrides, and Savage Island, have shared in the advantages of this seminary, as well as the children of the teachers, who are all instructed in a school connected with it.
In September, 1858, there were in tho Institution sixty-eight teachers, forty-eight wives of teachers, forty-three youths, five natives of Savage Island, one native of Fate, New Hebrides, eighty-eight children of teachers. Total, two hundred and fifty-three.
Sixty acres of ground, and all the premises connected with this seminary, are secured to the Loudon Missionary Society. The cost of the whole, with the running expenses from its commencement in 1811, until September, 1858, was under £600. It is made, as far as possible, self-supporting. Its annual expense is now about £50, and that is supplied by friends in England who take an interest in it.
The general statistics of the Mission, as nearly as can be gathered from the lust returns, are as follows:—
Population . 34,000 Children’s Day Schools . 210
Churches 30 Scholars in ditto, nearly . 6000
Church Members 2600 Adult Sabbath and Day Schools 210
Boarding Schools 50 Scholars in ditto, about . 7000
Scholars in ditto 800 Missionaries 10
Native Teachers . . 210
For several years the Samoans have entirely supported their own Native Teachers, now more than two hundred in number ; and dating from an early period of tin Mission they have contributed annually large sums to the funds of the London Missionary Society : the sum sent home last year exceeded £600. In addition to this, they make large contributions for their own countrymen who are sent out as Evangelists to heathen islands. From the liberality and devotedness of the Samoans, and the

55
general success which has attended the Samoan Mission, considering the short period of its existence, it will be seen that it is one of the most prosperous connected with the London Missionary Society.
As we have already intimated, the Samoan Mission, in addition to supplying Evangelists and Teachers for the whole of its home population, has sent cut a large number to other islands. The first of these were taken, by tho lamented Williams, to the New Hebrides, in 1839. He succeeded in leaving three on the Island of Tana; but in attempting to place others on Eramanga, he was killed bv the natives. Thus suddenly and affectingly terminated the labours of that most enterprising and devoted servant of God ! The work, in commencing which he fell, was taken up by the Missionaries in Samoa, and has been carried on by them, assisted by their brethren in the Hervey Islands. The Gospel has been introduced by means of Native Teachers, into different islands of the New Hebrides and Loyalty Groups. On several of these, Missionaries have been placed, and Churches have been formed, from which a native agency is being raised up to carry the Gospel to heathen islands around and beyond them. More than forty devoted Native Teachers, accompanied by their equally devoted wives, have been sent out from Samoa on this service to the heathen, by whose means multitudes have been led to renounce heathenism, and place themselves under Christian instruction. On Savage Island, where the difficulties to the introduction of the Gospel were long-continued and formidable Christianity has, by means of these Native Teachers, won one of its most signal triumphs. On that island five Samoan Evangelists, assisted by a number of the natives, are now labouring. They have brought the whole island under Christian instruction ; and, as the result of their labours, a Christian Church was formed iu August, 1858, consisting of fifty-two Members.
Such are the leading facts connected with the Samoan Mission—a Mission not unchequered with trials and difficulties, but which, under the blessing of God, has enjoyed, throughout its course, a large measure of success, demanding the warmest gratitude to Him, and affording much encouragement to devoted labourers in all other fields.

THE GOSPEL AMONG THE KARENS.
BY THE BEV. JOSEPH MULLENS.
On the east coast of the great Bay of Bengal lies the country of Burmali. It contains several provinces, all of which, till 1836, remained under the rule of the native Burman king. Three of these provinces come down to the sea-coast—Arracan on the north, Pegu in the centre, and Tenasserim on the south. The chief town of Pegu is Rangoon, on the river Irrawaddy; that of Tenasserim is Maulmain. A chain of mountains, covered with dense forests, separates Arracan from Pegu; and another lofty range runs along the eastern side of the kingdom of Burmah, and separates it from Siam. In 1826, the provinces of Arracan and Tenasserim passed from the Burman to the English Government, in consequ nee of the first Burmese war : the province of Pegu, lying between them, remained Burman till 185’2. It is in these provinces that the well-known American Mission, headed by the late Dr. Judson, has been carried on; and here have been maintained those prosperous

labours among the Karen tribes, in which all friends of Christian Missions have recently taken so deep an interest.*
The Karens form the original portion of the races that occupy the thuily-popu-lated provinces of Burmali. The Karens and Burmese are the principal occupants of the empire ; and in the three southern provinces, now governed by the English, the Karens are the most numerous, and most valuable clement in the population. Like all oppressed tribes, they were driven from the open plains of Burmah, alou<-the fertile banks of the Irrawaddy and the Sitang, into the dense forests which clothe the hills, and among the spurs of the lofty mountain range that separates Burmah from Siam. They are a rude and simple people, very docile and very intelligent retaining, in spite of oppression, the traditions of their fathers, and an unconquerable desire for liberty. They are short in stature, have square, fat features, and. like ail the races of the Malay Peninsula, have long and narrow almond eyes, which link them in origin with the Tartars and Chinese. In dress they have a singular fondness for checks and tartans, with bright red and yellow handkerchiefs for turbans; and amongst their little luxuries in food, a taste for potted shrimps ranks high. Two tribes of Karens, the Pwos and Sgaus, which inhabit the maritime provinces, arc comparative’y civilized ; but away in the eastern hills that overtop the plains which are watered by the river Sitang, unconquered to the last, are the Bghais and Bed Karens, who are wild and savage in the extreme. Amongst these savage people, however, the Gospel has already won amazing triumphs, and their defects are disappearing rapidly.
The religion of the Karens forms one of the most singular features of their character and history. These simple tribes have preserved among themselves, for hundreds of years, the knowledge of one God, and have honoured Him above all, without images, as their One Supreme Lord. They have handed down, from generation to generation, the most singular traditions concerning the creation, the fall of the first human pair, the deluge, and the dispersion of the human race. They have described to their children how. for the sins of tlieir fathers, God took away His sacred book from among them, and left them to fall into ignorance and suffering; and how, in His good time, He would bring among them white teachers from the west, who should restore the book again. To these native elements in their religious knowledge, the Karens added a great fear of Nats, the spirits of the dead; and, like the devil-worshippers of Southern India, they have constantly presented to them worship and offerings.
The Gospel was first introduced among the Karens by the American Missionaries in Burmah, just thirty years ago. Hearing that they were a people far more prepared to receive the Gospel than the proud, self-righteous Burmans, Dr. Wade agreed to visit them ; and, with an interpreter, set out for the Karen village of Dongyan, about twenty miles of Maulmain, then the only station of the Burman Mission. The interview was one of deep interest on both sides, and involved the most momentous consequences. Observing that one of their visitors was indeed a white man and a teacher, the Karens, referring to their traditions, instantly asked Dr. Wade, “ Have you brought us the Book of God ? ” and made known to him for the first time the strange expectation of their nation, that men of his race would bring them the Divine message, which should restore them from ignorance and degradation.

'Taking out his English Bible. Dr. Wade replied, that he had indeed brought it, and that his most anxious wish was that they should read it to their profit. They expressed the most earnest desire to receive it in their own tongue, and begged Dr. Wade to come and settie among them as their teacher. Rarely has any Missionary, on a first visit, been received in any part of the heathen world with the hearty confidence and cordiality at once accorded to Dr. Wade by the Karens of Dongyan. On his return to Maulmain, he felt that a mighty work had opened before him. Tita Karen language was unwritten : it differs from the Burman ; and Dr. Wade, therefore, steadily set himself to write it down. Months and years were spent in the important task; but, after immense labour, he succeeded in completing it.
The first convert to the Gospel among the tribes, was a slave, named Ko-thali-byn, who had been sold to his Barman creditor for debt. Redeemed by Dr. Judson, lie had been employed as a servant in the Mission family, and brought within the influence of Christian truth. Energetic and fiery, he was by no means a favourite among his neighbours ; but tire Gospel completely changed his nature, and at length, by the unanimous judgment of the Burman Christians, Ko-thah-byu was accepted as a member of their Church. Mr. Boardman was at the time leaving Maulmain f or Tavov, to commence a new branch of the Mission ; and Ko-thah-byu accompanied him, destined, in God's good providence, to be the means of winning many souls among his ignorant countrymen in that region.
It was not, however, amongst the proud self-suffieicnt Burmans of the town and province that Mr. Boardman’s usefulness was manifested. IBs work lay, and his words were accepted, among the rude, tribes of Karens that were scattered or hidden among the numerous hills and fastnesses of the interior. lie and Ko-thah-byu soon discovered their peculiar views, and turned them to account for the Gospel. And just when Dr. Wade and his colleagues were working at Dongyan, Mr. Boardman and his assistant were finding an entrance among the Karens of Tavoy. In one of their visits to the country they discovered a village, where an old Psalter was worshipped under the belief that it was the long-desired Book of God. Its real character, however, being explained, both priest and people gave up their idol, to worship in spirit and in truth the God of whom it spake. Mr. Boardman was soon called home. A noble Missionary, spiritual, earnest, thoroughly consecrated to his work, he suffered early from pulmonary disease, which his constant labours, “ in season and out of season,” tended to increase, lie saw the Mission begun ; he saw the doors of usefulness opening wide; one after anotlu-r some twenty Karens were brought into the Church: at length, in one of the mountain villages, thirty-four were baptized in a single day, and the next day he was “ gathered to his fathers.” Dr. Mason, however, took up the work, and consolidated it; Mrs. Boardman and Mrs. Mason giving great attention to the maintenance of good female schools. In all their labours Ko-thah-byu took a large share. His zeal never seemed to tire; day by day he went firth, wandering among the inner villages of the province, preaching to the many, talking with the few ; never so happy as when telling his people of the Book of God, and of the great salvation which it reveals. Distrusting himself, he sought that his message should be accompanied with power from on high, and gave himself in a remarkable degree to prayer. During the later years of his life he regularly prayed three times in the course of the niglit, and frequently spent the entire night in prayer. His usefulness was marvellous. At times, after his visits to the hills, from ten to forty inquirers would constantly come and stay at the Mission, in order to be


58
MISSIONARY MAGAZINE
instructed in the Gospel. Thoroughly earnest himself, he was the means of rousing earnestness in others, and his influence as a Christian Teacher spread far and wid< throughout that region. He lived a Christian but twelve years; and though origi nally an untaught slave, he was the means of converting hundreds of souls and lead ing them to the Cross of Christ. By faithful labours like these the soil was well tilled, the seed was sown far and wide ; a larger proportion than usual fell into gooI ground, and soon the fields began to appear white unto the harvest. Five hundred members had been gathered into numerous churches ; Native Agents in large nu . â–  hers were helping the Missionaries in their work of love, and a new Mission had been commenced at Mergui, a hundred miles further south, on the banks of tin Tenasserim, which had received two hundred members more.
Till 1852 the province of Pegu remained under the Burmese Government: but the Missionaries at various times visited its cities, and even endeavoured to secure permanent residence in Rangoon. While so much was being attempted for the Karens on the Tenasserim coast, it was natural that some effort should be put forth for their brethren in Pegu. A branch of the Rangoon Mission was commenced among them as early as 1833, by Mr. Bennett. Ko-thah-byu was his able assistant, and soon was seen among this strange race at Maubee, the excitement, the inquiry, the faith, the joy, which had cheered the Missionaries at Maulmain and Taw Such was the power of Ko-thah-byu’s stirring exhortations, that the whole country was roused. Crowds flocked to the Mission-house, anxious to hear about the religion of Jesus, and begging for the establishment of schools. Hundreds were soon found observing the Sabbath, praying in families, reading tracts, instructing each other as well as they could, and striving to practise the precepts of the Saviour. But the pride of Buddhism could not suffer unchecked the mighty progress of the Gospel, and in 1835 a bitter persecution was raised against the Christians. Several of the Burman converts in Rangoon were imprisoned, and the Karen Churches at Maubee were almost broken up. Ko-thah-byu and his friends, however, thougli scattered abroad, went everywhere preaching the Word, and thousands of Karen , unvisited before, were brought within its influence. Among the creeks of Bassein, and in the thick jungle that covers the eastern slopes of the lofty hills of Arracan, small Christian communities began to spring up; while the persecution raged more and more fiercely, and threatened to clasp all within its fiery embrace.
At this time the Providence of God interfered in a most signal manner on thei behalf. At Ava, under the teaching of Mr. Kincaid, a young Burman noble had recently become a Christian ; his relations were greatly displeased, and bis sister, who was a maid of honour to the Queen of Burmah, in order to separate him from bis teacher, procured for him, by the queen’s influence, the appointment of Govern r of Bassein. He left Ava with a sad heart, afraid lest, absent from his instructor, l.i should fall into temptation, and decline from the way of truth. But though his spirit was overwhelmed within him, the Lord knew his path. He had only been Governor three days, when the officials brought before his tribunal some poor villagers, whom they accused of worshipping a strange God. He inquired whom they honoured, and where they had learned about him. “ We worship Jesus, whose story is written in the white book,” was their reply; and, greatly to their own a’tonisl'-ment, and that of the officials, they were dismissed with words of commendation r.u kindness. It was soon observed that the new Governor himself studied a book lib’ theirs, and that he kept holy one day in seven: and then the truth flashed upon ill

59
both persecutors and oppressed, that he was himself a Christian. For two years he ruled the province with justice and with wisdom, and gave to the poor down-trodden Karens a protection and peace which they had not enjoyed for long, long years. During his brief and benevolent rule, the Basseiu Churches were so blessed and enlarged as to reckon within their fold two thousand baptized converts.
On his departure, the persecution was renewed, and was continued without intermission in the other districts of I’egu and Ava. So steady was the ill-will of the Burman Court and all its underlings, that, in 1840, the whole of the Missionaries felt compelled to quit the native provinces, and retire into the districts of Burmah under English rale. Mr. Kincaid left Ava for Arracan, and Mr. Abbott took np his residence at Sandoway. The Churches suffered dire distress. In 1842, a royal order was issuedj that their religion should be exterminated ; and the rage of their enemies burst forth with unmitigated fury. The pastors were seized, and again and again were subjected to stripes, imprisonment, and fines. In their homes and churches whole families were seized and beaten ; while mothers, separated from their children, were driven like sheep to prison, until their friends could satisfy the rapacity of the harpies who ruled the Burman courts. Even in their dire peril, however, these faithful converts glorified their Master by the fearlessness and consistency of their conduct. Finding that Mr. Abbott was living on the English side of their mountain range, hundreds of families resolved to emigrate; and in spite of the vigilance of Burman spies, who watched the passes, vast numbers succeeded in making good their escape. They were received with a hearty welcome, and obtained great sympathy from Major Phayre, the Commissioner of Arracan, who has ever been a friend to the Karens. lie supplied them immediately with food, lent them money, endeavoured to settle them down in the province, and gave them twelve months to repay their loans without interest. So great was the blessing poured upon the province, and upon the labours of Mr. Abbott and his native assistants, that within five years three thousand converts were baptized in Arracan alone. But while prosperous in its converts, the Mission suffered greatly in the loss of its agents ; and owing to the deadly climate, in which jungle fever extensively prevails, Mr. Abbott and many other most useful Missionaries, both male and female, were cut off within a few years.—(Abridged from the “Eclectic.")

INDIA.
Our readers have already been informed that in Bengal, and in different parts of Southern India, the people have manifested, since the suppression of the late mutiny, increased hostility to Christianity and its professors, of which examples wove afforded both in Tinnevclly and Travancore. We are, however, happy to receive intelligence from the North Western Provinces, where the violence of the mutiny prevailed, and the triumph of British arms was universal, that the disposition manifested by the people to Missionaries and their instructions has become decidedly morc-lavourable. ’

The following letter of the Bev. M. A. Sherring, dated August 30,1859, states this gratifying fact, not only in relation to Mirzapore the scene of his own labours, but to Agra, Delhi, and other chief cities in the North Western Provinces.
“On the arrival of my excellent friend and brother Jones, I handed over the Free School to his care. He has also assisted me, on alternate Sabbaths, in conducting the English service in the church, for the benefit of the residents of the Station. In addition, he has diligently studied the language, and on several mornings each week has gone with me to the bazar. With how much success my good Brother has applied himself to Hindustani will be gathered from the fact that he has already preached one sermon extemporaneously in the Church, which was understood by the people. He will eventually, and before long, too, I think, make a respectable speaker in the bazar. He is longing for the time when he will speak fluently and easily. I think it only right to give you these few items respecting my new colleague. I tliauk God you have sent him here, and feel comforted and encouraged thereby.
“ During the present year I have been exceedingly anxious to increase and strengthen the agency for bazar preaching. I have added two members to the Catechist staff, so that I have now four valuable men labouring with me in the dispensation of the Word of Life to the heathen in the city. David is the first Catechist, and is also a deacon of the Native Church. He has been in tlie Mission many years. He is a man of piety and intelligence, and is also a good speaker. He preaches in the church to the native congregation once every Sabbath. I think he would make a useful Native Pastor should it appear right at any time to appoint one. The second, Jiwau Masih (Life from Christ), whom I had the privilege of baptizing at the end of the year of the mutiny, is a man of sterling piety. His knowledge of Hindoo literature, though not extensive, is of considerable service in his intercourse with the heathen. The third is John Jacob, son-in-law of tlie famous Catechist Wilayat Ali, who died a martyr’s death in the streets of Delhi. He delights not in controversy, but in preaching the pure and simple doctrine of salvation through a crucified Saviour. Though not of brilliant powers, he is earnest and conscientious, and I hope may be the means of doing much good. The fourth is Peter Elias, about whom bangs an interesting story. When the mutinous 47th Regiment, N. I., was stationed in Mirzapore ill the memorable year 1857, Peter Elias, who was then a Christian in the band of the regiment, formed an intimacy with the Christians of our Mission. When the regiment, to the great relief of the residents, was. in the beginning of 1858, ordered to China, Peter Elias went with it. Some two or three months since, lie returned to India on sick leave, and feeling more strongly drawn to Mirzapore than to any other place, he came and resided among the Christians here. During the time he has been among us his conduct has been that of a devout man. He has been diligent in the study of the Scriptures, and lias appeared to delight in prayer avd in intercourse with the people of God. To my astonishment he has daily accompanied the Catechists to the city, and proved himself to be an interesting and powerful speaker. Being an effective preacher, I have pul him on the staff of Catechists, although he receives no salary from the Mission, hut lives on his sick leave pay. Until he leaves to re-join his appointment in China, which will

be in December orJanuary.be will, I trust, remain with us as an additional labourer in the Mission.
“ I have just located two of these Catechists in a commodious house with a good verandah, in one of the chief thoroughfares in the city. This I consider an important step, inasmuch as these men will be engaged in the work, preaching, teaching, and conversing with the natives all the day long. They will also hold a religious service in the open verandah morning and evening. I hope to spend much time with them in the good work.
“ The people are desirous of hearing the Word, and listen with attention. May the Lord send us His Spirit to quicken their hearts, and bring them to a saving knowledge of Himself! In various Stations of the North-Western Provinces a delightful and most encouraging work is going on. In Futtegar, Agra, Delhi, Meerut, and Moradabad, the Spirit of the Lord is manifestly agitating men’s hearts, and begetting in them anxiety about their souls’ salvation.
“ I do hope and trust the Home Government will be moved by the strong voice of public opinion to take a more decided and manly position on the subject of Christianity. The Indian Government must be a Christian Government—that is, it must exhibit before all classes a Christian demeanour, and must act on Christian principles and in a Christian manner. I do not wish that it should take part in any proselytizing schemes; but it must show to all India that it has a Religion, and that it is determined to follow its dictates. The people will not suspect its motives, but will respect and honour it all the more. They will also consider it natural and proper for the Government to introduce the Bible into its colleges and schools, and to appoint Christian Teachers to expound it. It is the non-introduction of the Bible into these institutions at which they stumble and regard with suspicion.”
GOVERNMENT PROTECTION OF T1IE SOCIAL RIGHTS OF NATIVE CHRISTIANS.
AnMEDNVGGUR, in the Presidency of Bombay, has for nearly thirty years past been the seat of a Christian Mission in connection with our friends and fellow labourers of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Latterly the number of native converts has much increased, new Churches have been formed, and the entire Mission has exhibited the sure indications of strength and progress. As the result of this prosperity the Christian converts have been subjected to severe opposition from their Heathen and Mohammedan countrymen ; and under the plea that they had lost caste attempts have recently been made to deprive them of the use of the public wells and tanks, which of course would involve many difficulties and privations. Tc such an extent was this feeling of hostility cherished, that a petition was presented to Mr. Fraser Tytler, the Magistrate at Ahmednuggur, to debar the Christians from the exercise of this common right. We are happy, however, to state that this intelligent officer met the petition with the following decisive rebuke: —
D 5


62
MISSIONARY MAGAZINE
“ The main statement in this petition is untrue. Vishnu Punt’s wife is not a Mhar, or woman of low caste. Vishnu Punt is a Brahmin, converted to Christianity. His wife is a Kunbi, also converted. Before conversion he and his wife had full right to draw water from the tank in question. He has not forfeited the above right, or any other, by his conversion to Christianity. On the contrary, the law ensures him every right which he possessed before bis conversion to Christianity. This law will be enforced, and those acting contrary thereto punished. In Bombay, and in many other places, ‘ all classes ot the community, Christian converts, Hindus and Mohammedans, have free access to all the public tanks and wells.’ Petitioners seek to debar Vishnu Punt and his family from the use of the public tanks, solely because he is a Christian. But it is well known that if a Mang or Mhar woman marries a Mussulman, she is allowed to use the tanks in right of her having become a Mohammedan. Cattle, horses, donkeys, prostitutes, &c. have all access to the public tanks; and yet this common and obvious right petitioners seek to deny to a man whose high respectability they themselves dare not and cannot gainsay.”
The enemies of the Christians, desirous of resisting this just decision of the local magistrate, appealed to the Bombay Government, who, without hesitation, fully confirmed the decision of Mr. Tytler, and through that gentleman answered the petitioners as follows:—
“ The Magistrate may be instructed to inform Anundrao Babajee Deshpandey, that Government will not for a moment entertain so absurd and so insulting an application as that contained in the petition signed by himself and a few other misguided persons at Ahmednuggur. The petitioners should be reminded that, by their own showing, the fountains in question were established by Mohammedan kings ; and that in the days of those kings no Hindu would have dared to suggest that they were polluted by being used by Mussulmans. If they could be used without pollution by any Dher or Mang who embraced the Mohammedan religion, how can they be polluted by the use of Christian converts ? The petitioners have forgotten their own Shasters, which declare that the caste of the Ruler, whatever it may be, is equal to the highest; and they have perverted the declaration in the Queen’s proclamation which expressly states that none should be molested by reason of their religious faith, into an argument for molesting and insulting those who profess the same faith which the Queen not merely acknowledges, but of which she proclaims herself the defender.”
On this just and impartial decision of the Government, the “Bombay Guardian” makes the following appropriate remarks:—
“ This is an admirable letter, and we rejoice to see Government taking up its true position with reference to caste. The demand of the petitioners is severely but justly characterized ; and we hope that the rebuke thus administered will be sufficient to deter the natives of this country henceforth from asking Government to affix a stigma to the profession of Christianity.”

DEATH OF TIIE KEV. JOSEPH TAYLOR.
This devoted servant of Christ was one of the oldest Missionaries in India, having commenced his labours in that country in the year 1812 ; and from that period, until incapacitated by age and infirmity, he prosecuted his ministry with unremitting zeal. Mr. Taylor, on his arrival in India, joined the Bellary Mission, but soon afterwards removed to Belgaum, which thenceforward became the scene of his labours. On the entire failure of his health, in 1852, our venerable Brother took up his residence at Bombay, where, at the house of his son-in-law, Lieut.-Colonel Birdwood, he expired on the 19th of November, with a hope full of immortality.
The following particulars of the last illness and death of Mr. Taylor are taken from the “ Bombay Guardian —
“ On Saturday, the 19th inst. (November), the Rev. Joseph Taylor, for nearly forty years a Missionary in connection with the London Missionary Society, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Colonel Birdwood, on the Island. Mr. Taylor had been confined to his bed by illness for about three months, when the long-expected summons for his departure came. * * * He was visited by many during his illness, who felt it a privilege to see the grace of God as manifested in him in the last days of his pilgrimage. He knew in whom he had believed, and nothing could exceed the joy with which at times he seemed to apprehend the presence of the Saviour. * * * It was most edifying to hear him speak with unfeigned humility and self-condemnation of his past life; although few, perhaps, have served their Master so faithfully and so long. For the hist few years he resided in Bombay, and we, with many others, must long remember, with gratitude to God, the hallowed seasons of communion we enjoyed with him. He took the deepest interest in everything relating to the spread of Christ’s kingdom; and the wonderful revival of religion in the West, of which we have been hearing for the last eighteen months, contributed not a little to cheer him in his declining days. One of his beloved daughters and her husband were among the number of those who were called to lay down their lives in Lucknow during the year of the mutiny. For a long time nothing was known of their fate; and when at length their death was .ascertained, he received grace to bear the aggravated trial in a way that evinced the power of the Gospel to sustain the heart of the believer.
“ Mr. Taylor was remarkable for his catholicity : sincere Christians of every name were dear to him. and he hailed with joy the indications of an approaching day when the prayer of Christ shall be fulfilled, and they shall all be one. The greater part of his Missionary life was spent in Belgaum, where he was the instrument of much good, not only to the natives of this country, but also to the Europeans with whom he came in contact. Many of these were guided by him to the Saviour.”
