FORM OF A BEQUEST “ IttMi I do lierchj pirc and bequeath iinto the Seereidries for the time heiny of a certain rohnitnri/ Society, formed in Calcutta in the year 1817, entitled, “ The Bcnyul Auxiliary 3Iissionary Society, " the sun: of Sicca Rupees, of Inuful ynoney cucrent in Bcuyal, to he paid within months next after my decease, out of suck part onhi of my personal estate as shall not consist of chattels real, upon trust to be applied towards the carryiny on the purposes of the said Soeiefy ; and I do hereby direct and declare, that the receipt of the Secretaries or uthcr of them for the time heiny of the sold Society , for the raid Lcyacy, shall be sufficient discharyc to my executors for the same.” REPORT, &c. It has been afErraed in Europe that, “ The moral world is advancing by more rapid steps than it ever did before. Year after year the motion is accele- rated, and indicates the approach of the millenial glory, when all the kingdoms of the world shall he~ come the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ”* This statement coming from the lips of one, charac- terized no less by extent of knowledge and sobriety of judgment, than by fervent zeal in the sacred cause, is calculated to encourage this Missionary Society in pressing forward in the holy undertaking to which they have put their hands. We have now entered upon a new year, may it be with new life, may it be characterized by fresh efforts on our part to justify, as far "as the contribution of our humble mite of co-operation can go, the state- ment above referred to. Let us pledge ourselves * Rev. Dr. Rogue at the Annual Meeting of the Loudon Missionary Society, held in May 1819. C SECOND REPORT. 2 ' to unceasing exertions in this great ^Tork of God, till we find in the field af glorious labour to which we are appointed, every weed of error, sin, and su- perstition plucked up ; every seed of truth and righte- ousness planted, watered, and matured to fruit ; and the heathen wilderness rejoicing, blossoming, and becoming fragrant as the rose. But your Committee must now check this train of thought, and remember the duty which devolves upon them of giving an account of their stewardship; they therefore proceed to submit to their Constitu- ents, a statement of the proceedings of this Society, during the yeat which has elapsed. FUNDS. In the past year the funds of this Society have been enr.ched by contributions from the following sources : Calcutta Ladies Hrancli Missionary Society. The expectations w'hich w^ere formed of the efiiciency of this Branch Society have been fully realized. Its contributions to the funds of this Institution during the past year, amount to Sa. Ils. 1,000. But it is not merely to the amourit of money ac- tually collected by the Society, that your Commit- tee wmuld refer with pleasure ; their gratification is greatly enhanced by view ing in the list of its Sub- SECOND REPORT. scribers and Benefactors, not fewer than two hun- dred and five names: and they have the still further satisfaction of adding, that amongst the contributors are numbered upwards of twenty of the natives themselves. This for reasons too obvious to need specifying, is matter of no small congratulation to the friends of this Institution, The list of Contributors to this Branch Society is contained in the Appendix. Cliinsurah branch Misslonfiry Society. Your Com- mittee have the pleasure of staling, that the contri- butions remitted by this valuable Branch Society to the funds of this Intitution within the past year, amount to the sum of Sa. Rs. 535 8 0. The names of its Subscribers and Benefactors will also be found in the Appendix of this Report, Jlis Majesty's \lth Regiment of Foot. The friends of religion in this Regiment have formed themselves into a Bible and Missionary Society; and in addition to previous contributions, have remitted to this So- ciety Sa. Rs. 57.

Rs. 160 10 2, the balance in hand on 1st January 1819, and the sum of Sa. Rs. 606, Gross Receipts of the School Press, make a total of Sa. Rs. 6,488 7 2. Of this the sum of Sa. Rs. 6,217 3 2 has been expended, leaving a balance of Sa. Rs. 271 4 0 in favour of the Society. The manner in which the funds have been ap- propriated, will be learnt by the sequel of the Re- port, and the Statement of Receipts, and Expendi- tures at the close of the Appendix. Your Committee cannot hou^ever refrain from noticing, before they quit this subject, the gratifying S'ECO^fD REPORT. fact, that the contributions in the past year are nearly double what they were the year preceed- ing. From this they would humbly venture to infer that the hand of God, as well as the voice of the Ciiristian public, is Mith the Society. ADDITIONAL LABOURERS. A^our Committee have unfeigned pleasure in ac- knowledging the kind hand of providence, which guided in safety to the shores of India, the Rev. Mess, Hampson and Trawin accompanied by their partners; they arrived in February 1819, hav- ing been sent out under the patronage of the parent Society in London, and they are now actively en- gaged in strengthening and fathering the cause of this Infant Alission. Would that there were not at the same time the painful duty of qualifying the lat- ter part of the statement. Alas ! one of these our dear Brethren has been bereft of his partner ! Mrs. Hampson, on the 29th of August last, was called from the held of conflict to receive the crown of tri- umph and of gracious reward. Nature would say stop in your work and mourn, but we hear in the solemn dispensation a louder voice saying, work while it is called to day, for the night of death is swiftly ap- proaching, wherein all further opportunity of exer- tion for the Salvation of souls will cease for ever. They have the pleasure of adding that in Septem- 6 SECOND REPORT. ber Mr. Gogerly and family arrived in the Presi- dency, he having been sent out by the Directors of the parent Society in London, to superintend the Printing Office connected with the Mission. PREACHING. The situation of the Bungalow Chapel at 3Iolunga, mentioned in the First Report, having proved too retired, has been quitted for others of greater tho- roughfare and resort. On the spot of ground by the side of MutchmJi Hazar Road, also alluded to in the First Report, a Bungalow Chapel has been erected. It was first opened for public worship on Friday afternoon, the 22nd of October last. The particulars are noticed in No. 1, of the Gospel Magazine, under the head, Mirzapore Chapel.” They are indebted for the ground, under Provi- dence, to the kind influence of a very eminent Native, a Bramin of this city. They have also the plea- sure of adding, that the owner of the ground, who is also a very respectable Bramin duelling in the neighbourhood, has attended more than once when worship has been performed, and after service has been concluded, has so far expressed hfs satisfaction as to say, he deems it a good work to point out to his countrymen the delusion of worshipping Idols, and bowing down to Gods which cannot save. SECOND REPORT* 7 Service in the Bengalee language continues to be conducted in this Chapel every Friday afternoon, and occasionally on Sabbath mornings. Your Committee have also succeeded in obtain^ ing a piece of ground in Manicldula Street^ and have built a Bungalow on it, which in the month of November last was opened for* divine worship, and which at present continues to be conducted in it every Tuesday evening, and also on Sabbath mornings occasionally. Mr. Trawin having taken for his dwelling, the upper-roomed house immediately opposite Moon^ shee Bazar, a little to the North of the Portuguese burying ground, native worship has been occasi- onally held at the entrance of this house, which is advantageously situated for the purpose, by open- ing immediately upon the main road. Your Committee have now much pleasure in calling your attention to the door which providence has opened for proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation at Tally Gunge ; and also at Kalee Ghaut, and other Villages in its neighbourhood. Through the kindness of Mr. Burrows, the Act- ing Proprietor, (to whom, and to the other Pro- prietors many thanks for their liberality are due trom this Society,) your Committee have obtained the use, rent free, for three years from February last 8 SECONlD ICEFORT* of a substantial brick built liouse at Tally Gunge ^ gome small expences have been bestowed in re- pairs, and the Missionaries have, from the beginning of March till the rainy season in June, resided there alternate weeks; where, as well as in the neigh- bourhood round about, they made the Gospel known by preaching, conversation, and the distri- bution of Scriptures and Tracts. It is the intention of the Missionaries forthwith lo resume their efforts at this station, which have been suspended, OAving to the rains and other causes, and to aim at encreased exertion in this wide field of labour. Afternoon Avorship in the Bengalee language was commenced in Dhuriurdula Lodge in the month of June last. Your Committee Avould request permission in a particular manner, to draAv the attention of the Meeting to this Native Service. With regard to the other spheres of labour, the friends of this So- ciety noAV present, have principally to hear only what has been done; Avith regard to this, it de- volves upon them to act as Avell as- to hear; and by their OAvn personal exertions, to help forward the Avork of the Lord. The afternoon service at tiie Lodge is under- taken for the express benefit of the servants of the SECOKD REPORT. friends of this InstitutioHj and the friends of reli- gion in general dwelling in Calcutta. To the mind of every benevolent and pious person served by Heathen dependents, it cannot but be a very pain- ful consideration, that whilst they, as Masters and Mistresses are, with their children, relatives and friends, partaking day by day, and Sabbath after Sabbath of the bread of life, their servants are pe- rishing for lack of spiritual food. And it is yet more affecting, that our servants convey us to the door of the house of God, but cross not its thres- hold themselves. Whilst we within are being made wise unto salvation, they remain without in all the ignorance and misery of idolatry^ superstition and spiritual death. To widen the pale of salvation* and enclose within it, as far as possible our servants as well as ourselves, this service is therefore con- ducted. The success of it, under God, must of necessity hinge upon the encouragement it meets with from the heads of families. Respecting this branch of labour, it only remains to notice generally, that the preaching of the Gospel by the missionaries connected with this Society, has not been confined to the before mentioned Chapels and places, but has been, as in the preceding year, carried on out of doors in different districts where the native population most abounds. D SfCOND REPORT. Id SCHOOLS. Your committee attach great importance to Na- tive Schools, but especially to such schools- as are instrumental in conveying the knowledge of the scr.ptures, and Christianity to the minds of the pupils. Schools in which the scriptures and Chris- tianity are not introduced, may be multiplied in this province to any extent ; and with adequate fun-ds and school-masters, thousands iipon thousands of scholars may be without difficulty obtained. Your committee however in the formation and support of schools of this description, have not expended the funds of this Society. They have been induced so to act by the considerations^, tlmt, the Natives themselves are, to a considerable degree, competent and inclined at their own expense to impart tlie elementary -knowledge of reading, writing-, and arithmetic to their children; that the Calcutta School Society is vigorously attending to this department ; and that a donation of 1,000 Rupees has been made by the parent Society to the above School Society, to strengthen and encourage its opera- tions. Had your Committee possessed the ability of forming Schools upon the principle cd introduc- ing Christian knowledge into them, they would liave cherished such promising nurseries ef our holy religion, to the utmost of their power ; but partly from the yet gross ignorance, and gr«at prejudice of the bulk of the Hindoo' population, and partly from the want of labourers for the work, they SECOND REFORT, 11 liave it not in their pov/er to announce any thing material that they have accomplished in this in- teresting and important sphere of action. The thoughts of the Missionaries however, are con- stantly upoix the subject ; and they are watching for the first favourable door which providence may open for the accomplishment of their anxious de- sire, muuely, the formation of Schools, in which the truths of Christianity shall be taught The School at Chitlah, spoken of in the First Report of the Society as in contemplation, was opened ; and the Missionaries succeeded to an en- couraging extent in being able to introduce the Scriptures and Scripture Tracts : upon their return to Tally Gunge, they may probably be led to make further experiments, and use fresh exertions, for the attaiiinicrd of the object on which they have above cln elt. But it is now proper again to allude to the con- tributions from our zealous friends in America. These contributions were forwarded to one, whose name will not soon be forgotten by the friends of Schools, and the instruction of the rising genera- tion in India. To the BIev. Robert May, (whose loss was especially noticed and deplored at our last anniversary,) these remittances were made, ac- qompanied witii directions to expend them, in im- parting a Christian education to children, Natives 12 SECOND REPORT. of Bengal. Mr. Pearson, the successor of Mr. May at Chinsurah, has been constantly making endeavours to obtain children for the purpose, but hitherto the inveterate prejudices of the parents have baffled his exertions. He has consequently for the present added the diflereiit sums to the funds of this Society, that they may accumulate at interest, and be drawn out as he has the oppor- tunity of expending them agreeably to the minds of the donors. We trust that the day of his being able so to do will not prove far off,* in the interim the money will be sacredly reserved for its ap- pointed purpose, One of the letters accompanying these remit- tances will appear in the Appendix, and be found a pleasing specimen of American sympathy and zeal, as exercised with reference to the poor Hea- then of this country. And under this head it may not be improper to add, for more general information, that every Sab- bath morning, in Dhurumtula Lodge, from the liour of half past eight to half past nine, children of all denominations whose parents are disposed to send them, are catechised and instructed in the princi- ples of Christianity. * During the progress of the Report through the Press, one Hindoo boy has been obtained. He has proceeded to Chiasurah, to he under Mr. Pearson’s charge, SECOND REPORT. 13 Your Committee will close their reference to this branch of Missionary labour, by noticing the fol- lowing- extract of a letter from Mr. Pearson, res-^ pecting the present state of Schools superintended by him, and supported by the liberality of Govern- ment, in and about the neighbourhood of Chinsurah. “ In answer to your request, I transmit to you in as small compass as possible, the leading particulars for the past year, relative to the Schools ill this neighbourhood. “ In number they at present stand thus : Chinsurah No. of Schools 15. . . .Children 1,420 nANKiFORE ditto, ditto 10. .. .ditto 1,010 25 2,430 “ It may perhaps appear a matter of regret, that the statement of numbers is below that of the former year. We conceive however that this deficiency is fully repaid, by a superior state of discipline, and of progress in learning. It is pleasing to think that our labours for this end have appeared satisfactory to Government, by whose liberality the Schools are supported. “ Our efforts in the first instance, were directed to the introduction of an appropriate system, together with the simplification, and ar- rangement of elementary matter. Of the necessity of the former, little need he urged. Its existence will ever give to a School of children the like advantage in the handling of letters, that it does to a regiment of soldiers, over a confused rabble in the use of arms. Purposing to take for our model, tliat of the National Society in England, I made an abridged translation of Dr. Bells Instructions, of which an edition lias been printed by the Calcutta School Book Society ; and the system itself, as accommodated to Bengal, is now in exercise in the Schools. We have at least demonstrated that it is capable of being acted' upon here, in a manner nearly, if not fully approaching to that in which we see it at home : I have heard it spoken of by the natives as wonderful, to see a hoy in tears at losing liis place in his class. As practised in the u SECO''’D REP RT. Government Schools, it has been adopted by Gentlemen engaged in the work of Native education, and also acted upon by the Calcutta School Society. “ Similar to those of the National Society, have been composed in Bengalee, a set of elementary tables ; a 1st and 2nd edition of which, have been printed by the School Book Society to which we are in- debted for the gratuitous supply of various School books, both of Cal- cutta and of Serampore origin. “ In addition have also been printed after the model of the National Society’s School book No. 1, the History of Joseph, and a book of Arithmetic by Mr. Harle, containing 120 pages. Whilst these preli- minary means for the enlightening of our fellow subjects, have happily been afforded, it need not be said that the eye of benevolence has awakened, only to behold the waste that every where surrounds us : using therefore our best exertions for llie prosperity of this Institution, we are at the same time incessantly employed in acipiiring through conversation, and study a thorough and idiomatic knowledge of. the Native language. “ In the beginning of the year, 5Iu. Harle and myself were in the habit of going out daily, into the market place or beneath the shade of a tree, and there reading the Scriptures, aud spcaJ^ing to the people, concerning salvation by Jesus Christ ; they at least were willing to hear, and generally with much attention, v/hat wc had to communicate to them. Since then, this pleasi.ng labour has been interrupted by the pressure of School engagements, but it will I trust ere long be resumed.” TRACTS. In the course of the last year, the follotvin.g new. Tracts have been published by this Society. SECOND RKPOTlTi 15 IN THE BENGALEE LANGUAGE. A Dialogue between a European and a iNativtt in three parts ; wherein a voyage from England to India is spiritualized. A second edition of the History of the Saviour of the world, (referred to in the First Report page 5.) Printed in one entire Tract. A Tract on the Nature of God. In which the harmony of God’s Justice and Mercy, in the salva- tion of man is displayed. Some Scripture proofs respecting the Perfections of God are added. BENGALEE AND ENGLISH. The second part of the School Lessons (referred to in page 10 of the First Report,) consisting of short, and select Extracts from Scripture, with a marginal vocabulary drawn from the Lessons. No. 1 of the Gospel 3Iagazine. Containing an account of the Origin of the week; a short Sermon on Matt I. 21, and other miscellaneous pieces. In the co’.rse of the past year, the number of this Society's Tracts issued from its depository for circula- - SECOND KEPORTi la lion amounts to about 15,000 ; your Committee have the encouragement of knowing, that these Tracts have the effect of producing a good deal of atten- tion to Christianity, in the minds of many of the Native Readers of them, and they would fain indulge a hope that it is precursory to their convic- tion that Jehov'ah He is the Lord, and that there is none other name binder Heaven hut that of Jesus wLereby they can be saved. But your Committee under this head would par- ticularly wish to direct the attention of the friends of this Institution to the Gospel Magazine above noticed, which is intended to be a monthly publi- cation. A copy of the Prospectus will be found in the Appendix and will fully explain the nature of the undertaking, and from which therefore it will be sufficient to make the following quotations^ “ A very main and special design in this undertaking is to promote the happiness and best interests of the great mass of native inhabitants of Bengal, u ho are entitled to our tenderest regards and most bene- volent exertions as being at once our fellow Creatures and our fellow subjects. This work wilf therefore be studiously adapted for their perusal and appear in Bengalee as well as English, the two languages occupying paiailel columns. “ As there are numbers of the natives who do not understand Eng- lish and to whom the English colnnuis would be of no advantage, it is further proposed every alternate month to reprint two numbers in one, contaiiiing only the Bengalee.” SECOND REPORT. 17 A complete list of Tracts published by this So- ciety, and to be had at the Society’s Depository IS o. 38 Mott’s Gully, will be found in the Appendix* LIBRARY. The following Books have been added to the Mission Library: Presented by D. Templeton, Esq. FOLIO. Voi,. 1 Gilbert’s Exposition of the 39 Articles, 2 Banyan’s Works, 1 Playfair’s Chronology. Presented by a Friend. QUARTO. 1 Religious Emblems. Presented by H. White, Esq. FOLIO. 3 White’s Goyernment Regulations. The Committee take the liberty of intimating that Donations of Books to the Library, especially ’rheological and Oriental works of all kinds, conti- nue to be thankfully received. SCHOOL PRESS. Your Committee commenced a Printing Office in the month of February last. It is denominated the E 18 SECOND REPORT. School Press, and was first kept at Cbinsurali, but upon the arrival of Mr. Gogerly (who brought with him a patent Iron Press, and an extensive assortment of new English Type, very kindly pro- vided by and sent at the expense of the Parent Society), it was deemed adviseable to remove it to Calcutta, where the printing business connected with this Society continues to be carried on at No. 38, Mott’s Gully, in the Premises formerly occupied by Mr. Lawson, and afterwards by Mu. Keith. The reasons which induced your Committee to establish this Ofiice, are twofold; First, the more rapid and cheap printing of the Society’s own Tracts and Publications ; and Secondly, the hope that the profits of printing also other works may tend to lighten the heavy burthen of expense in supporting this Mission, which falls at present principally upon the Parent Society in London. The Directors of the Parent Society urge all the Missionaries sent out by them to aim as much as circumstances will admit at rendering tlieir res- pective stations self supported, that the Parent Society may have its funds free to establish new Missions in the various Heatlien parts of the world, till their work and labour of love shall expire by there not remaining a nation, peojne, or trii'»e unacciuainted with the ordy trria God and with Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. SECOND llEPOUt. 19 ‘ The propriety of this rule of conduct your Com- mittee conceive is so evident, as to need no elu- cidation, and they confidently entertain the hope that the friends of this Society will, when they '-have it in their power, employ the School Press, as thereby aiding the funds of this Institution, and consequently contributing to the spread of the Cospel. UNION CHAPEL. Though the funds collected for the above Build- ing are quite distinct from the funds of this In- stitution, yet the same reason which was assigned in the last year's Report, again requires that we should not pass by this intended place of worship unnoticed. It will therefore be proper to intimate that on 31st December last, the total sum received and lying at Interest in the hands of Messrs. Alexander and Co. amounted to Sa. Rs. 20,000. It is also proper to add that the Building Com- mittee have purchased for the sum of Sa. Rs. 10,000 a very eligible spot of ground situated in Dhumra- tula. The title deeds are approved by the Solicitor by wliom the proper Deed of transfer is being jwe- pared ; as soon as it has I)een regularly executed estimates of tlie expense of ]>uiiding the Chapel will be obtained, and every dispatch that the funds 20 SECOND REPORT. admit of will be used towards the accomplishment of this desirable object. Your Committee have now directed the attention of the Patrons and friends of this Institution to the various transactions connected with the Society since their appointment in January 1819 . As their Annual Office expires Avith their making this report, they would, before they finally bring it to a close, respectfully urge upon the friends of this Institution a steady and zealous adherence to its interests, by fostering its funds, by circulating its publications, by personal co-operations where attainable in its practical movements, and especially by constant and fervent prayers to God for his blessing, with which this humble Institution may become an honoured instrument of hastening forward the day when the Icing dom and dommion, and the greatness of the hing~ doni under the ivhole heaven shall he given to the people of the Saints of the moit High, whose Icingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. APPENDIX, Extract of a Letter to the Rev. Robert May, dated Philadelphia, April 15 , 1818 . Some time since I met with an extract from a communication made by Messrs. Nott, Hull, and Newell to the American Board of Commissioners for foreign Missions, intitled “ Thoughts on variou.s methods of advancing the cause of Christ by Missionaries in India;” These gentlemen among other methods propose that of taking children to bring up as Christians, as the most effectual means of subverting idolatry among the heathen ; they also state that there are numbers of poor destitute orphan children in India. The subject interested me much ; and I immediately proposed to some of my friends that we should try to rescue at least one of these little ones from this most wretched condition ; but owing to the numerous societies already ill operation, I did not procure more than 15 in annual subscriptions, and began to fear I should not succeed ; for several months there was but a very snnall accession made to the funds, which increased my anxiety, and I was busily engaged in devising some plan to make up the deficiency, when I thought of the Sabbath School : the parents of many of our children are in comfortable circumstances, and I proposed that they, with the consent of their parents, should contribute one cent, per week to this interesting little Society. Just at this time my good friend S. Whiteueau handed me your letter, desiring me to read a part of it to our girls ; it was most seasonable, — the dear children soon maniTssted their willingness to contnbute their mite i. f'5 brinciiip fcr^i'ard t'aeir s'jbscriptionc, and •xe -Trere organised into a Society, which is called the Tbsi Female Societ]/ of Philadelphis for tJie efhicatnm if the heathen youth, in India ; This step brought us some new Subscribers, and some donations were made, so as to enable us to forward to you, tliiougb hir. Ralston, the sum of 40 Dollars. X':>derrt 3 nding we would have the pri-ilege of giving the child a Christian name, we selected that of our beloved Pastor. (Tacoe Jones T '.nlwat,) arid ardently wish tliat he mav become a subject of the grace of Gop, and prove as great a blessing to his brethren in India as what our dear Doctor is to us. We are ignorant as to the length of time it will require to qualify one of this class for usefulness, either as a Teacher or Preacher (if the Lori> should incline Iris heart.) and would he much indebted to y ou for information on the subject, as also respecting the sum neces- sary to defray t'ne expences yearly. As tlic Society is principally made up of the teachers and children of the Female Sabbath School of the Second Presbyterian Church, a brief report of the state of that School may not be uuintei esting to you ; this I enclose with a small parcel of Tracts, which yoa will please to accept from your uuknown friend. We hope that more of the Schools w ill adopt the same plan, and endeavour by this feeble means to assist ill advar.cing the cause of oar blessed Redeemer among tlse destitute. How encoaragaig to know that iiowever weak oar attempts to do good may be, yet that they are never refused, but often followed with the blessing of the Most Fllgh, though many have it not in their power to do much for the poor heathens, yet ail may, and ought to do something. Tlii.s our trifling contribution we send with our prayev.s. Oh ! that I ; .T.i would direct his servants in the application of it. We leave it fo ■ our judgement to select one of these poor ebildvcn to w hich we will uirn oar attempt- by forwarding the desired sum annually for Ids sup- port ; we have hea,rd tiiat 30 dollars is sufTmient for one cldld, but beg .011 to let us know as soon as an opportunity presents some of the par- ticulars. FVe hear, dear Sir, of y our assiduous attention to the little h.-mbs committed to your care, and believe our little J«coZ' v ill share iu AI'PKNDIX. lU tWs attention ; wliiJc you are thus engaged in sowing the good seed in India, I hope v.'c will continue praying in America, that tlie seed thus sown may lake root, spring up, and bear fruit to the Glory of ou> God- Pro'^pcctus to the Gospel Magazine. The periodical piiblicatioii denovninated the Evanof.lical Mag azini was coinnieiiccd in England in the year 1793. This svork has conti- nued from that period to the present, and still continues, uionthly, to shed forth its cheering and iuA igoratiug beams of divine wisdom, goodness, and truth. The Gosrr.L Magazine proposes to tread, thons:li at hnmhle dLstance in the steps of the Evangelical Magazine, its dLstinguished predecessor and leader; and would hope, by breathing a kindred spirit, and endea- vouring to promote ihe ^lory of God in the highest, and the peace and happiness of men upon earth, ultimaiely even to he recognized as its Daughter. Oh ! that the God of Heaven would command such a bless- ing upon the undertaking, that wliat the Parent has proved to Bai r ain that ultimately the may prove to Beng ae -u light to lighten the Gentile and unbelieving part of its comaiuniiy, and a refreshment and source of edilication to the Israel of God ! The eonsideialious and motives whicli lead to the publication of the Evangelical Magazine, are so exactly accordant with those which prompt the present undertaking, that there seems a propriety in making the following literal extracts from the preface of the parent -work. “ On account of their extensive circulation, periodical publications have obtained a high degree of importance in the republic of letters.” “ A periodical pampiilet exhibits a mode of instruction with which the world was formerly unacquainted; hut since it has been adopted, it has produced a surprising revolution in sentiments and manners.” “ Thousands read a Mngazi.ne, who have neither money to purchase, nor leisure to peruse, k-rge volumes ; it is therefore apowerful engine in the moral world. .\nd its intlueace must increase in proportion to the increase of Schools for lustruoting the poor.” iv APPENDIX. “ This consideration aione, it is hoped, will be thought a sufficient apology for undertaking the present work, and secure it a candid recept tion among all the friends of the Gospel. For should the servants of Christ neglect the use of those means, which circumstances have ren- dered favourable for the propagation of evangelical sentiments, it would argue criminal supineness, or total indifference to the best in- terests of Society.” “ It is not designed to preclude others from contributing, through this medium, to the general stock of Christian knowledge. On the contrary, all judicious pieces will be thankfully received, especially well authenticated accounts of triumphant deaths, and remarkable Providences.” “ The subjects, comprised within the limits of this publication, are calculated to please as well as to instruct ; that the children of religious parents, whose interests deserve particular attention, may be allured, through pleasure, into the paths of true wisdom. Biography, ilemoirs. Diaries, Authentic Anecdotes, Striking Providences, and the Expres- sions of I), ing Christians, arrest the mind of the reader, and make a deep impression. All these, agreeahlj and judiciously interspersed with Ecclesiastical History, Jewish and Cinistian Antiquities, Sacred Criticism, Select Sentences, Short Poems, and Natural Philosophy, can scarcely fail to communicate instruction while they yield entertain- ment.” The above quotations, and the remarks which introduce them, will suflice to shew the aim with which the Gospel Magazine is intended to be undertaken ; and no doubt is entertained but that the design itself will be approved by every friend of religion in this country or else- where. The conductors feet the weak part of their case to arise from a consciousness of their own weakness, and a consideration of the small- ness of their numbers. Their apology for commencing the work in the face of this confession is, that He who does not despise tlie day of small things may so smile upon the endeavour, so augment the number Of the labourers engaged in it, and so encreasingly qualify them for the undertaking, that the grain of mustard seed may ultimately become a tree, and the handful of corn may finally be succeeded by the nume- rous sheaves of harvest. It will be proper, however, before this advertisement is closed to intimate that a very main and special design in this und»rtaking is to APfKNDIX. V promote the happiness and best interests of the great mass of native inliabitants of Bengal; who are entitled to our tenderest regards and most benevolent exertions, as being at once our fellow-creatures, and our fellow-subjects. Tiie work will therefore be studiously adapted for their perusal, and appear in Bengalee as well as English, the two languages occupying parallel columns. This consideration will prevent in the pious English readers mind the feeling of disapprobation or dis- appointment at noticing uncouth phrases, which have been occasioned by making the two languagesas nearly as possible accord; or at meeting with articles of intelligence, with which he was previously acquainted. Such a feeling as this will be supplanted by a generous desire to com- nruaicate the pamphlet to some unenlightened native in his neighbour- hood, to whom the intelligence will come with the charm of novelty ; and to who.se soul it may prove a Morning Star, a harbinger of the rising of the Sun of Righteousness. That the work may be as widely beneficial as possible to our native fellow- .subjects, every thing of an acrimonious, irritating, dogmatical, and angry kind will be studiously excluded. The sword of steel rusfs ip dipped in water— to cut deep it must be steeped in oil. The word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit, loses its edge if dipped in the waters of strife aud anger — to become quick and powerful, it must be bathed in the oil of love. As there are numbers of (he natives who do not understand English, and to whom the English columns would be ofno advantage, it is further proposed every alternate month to reprint two numbers in one, con- taining only the Bengalee . The carrying forward the work will of necessity be attended with considerable expense ; Subscriptioiis, therefore, are respectfully solicited : and they will be thankfully received atthe School-Press, No. 38 Mott’s Gully, Dhurumtula; by M-r. Townley, No. 80, Dhurumtula; orby Mr, Pearson, Chinsurah. Each Number Will contain sixteen pages of letter-press, in Octavo, the price for a single copy Four Annas : and, in order to encou- rage the circulation ofthe work among the Sircars, and other Native Dependents of Merchants and Heads of Families, any person subscribing for more than one copy monthly, will obtain them, to any number, atthe rate of six copies for a Rupee. No. 1 will be published the 1st F vi APPENDIX, And now the condnctors of this humbie work would close this adver- tisement in the words of the holy and eminent servants of God, whose bright example they are attempting to iinitate, and say, “ They are conscious that God alone can reader thdr feeble efforts successful . and they are not destitute of hope that He will graciously condescend to accompany with his blessing this little periodical pamphlet, which^ they humbly trust, originated in an ardent desire of promoting His glory.” Calcutta, Nov. 1819.
