“...2 TWENTY-FIRST REPORT OF SOCIETY ISLANDS rn tus SOUTH SEA. Tue information respecting the happy change of affairs in ' the Otaheitan mission, which the Directors had the pleasure to announce in the last, Report, has been abundantly con- firmed by letters of subsequent date. The brethren, in a letter dated Eimeo, 23d of April 1814, observe, that they are now able to change the language of complaint for that of gladness; they state that the good work of conversion ap- | peared to be going forward; and that the number of those | who had renounced their idols and desired to be considered i as the worshippers of Jehovah, amounted to Firry. They report that these persons are, in general, regular in their os attendance on the means of instruction; that they are in the habit of retirement for secret prayer; that many of them pray in their families, and ask a blessing on their food; that ; they carefully observe the Sabbath, associate to hold meet- ings for prayer, and that their moral conduct is...”

“...taken place in the South Sea missions, and the earnest request of the Missionaries, induced the Directors to determine on sending additional labourers to promote the promising work.—Four brethren, with their wives, are nearly ready to embark; they are ac- F quainted with some useful arts, and will be able, besides af- : fording religious instruction to the natives, to print whatever may be wanted for the use of the mission, as well as to : promote other branches of civilization. | And here it may not be improper to note, that some of | the brethren who many years ago left the mission at Otaheite, | and settled at New Holland, have been very useful in further- | ing the cause of religion in that growing colony, either by preaching the gospel statedly, or by keeping schools. It is pleasing to notice the establishment of a Philanthropic Society, for the protection of strangers from the islands. And Mr. Shelly, formerly our Missionary, has presented to the Governor of New South Wales, (a gentleman...”

“...takes every opportunity of circulating the Scriptures and Tracts, with which he was also plentifully supplied. We must not omit to mention, that some pious soldiers of the 72d regiment have voluntarily contributed £35. to the funds of this Society, which the Directors acknowledge with peculiar pleasure, as a proof of their commendable zeal to impart to their fellow-men the blessings of the gospel which they have learned to prize. The Governor having expressed his earnest desire to promote a mission to the island of Madagascar, the Direc- tors haye resolved to commence that work as soon as proper Instruments can be obtained, with which they hope soon to be furnished. CHINA. j Tue Directors have received during the last yeara number of printed copies of the New Testament, translated by Mr. Morrison into the Chinese language. With inexpressible dclight they view these fruits of his successful labours, and fuumbly anticipate from their dispersion the most beneficial results. It affords...”

“...the warmest hospitality. ‘The Chinese of all ranks, and in every place, received the books gladly, and listened with patience to his discourses concerning the true God. In short, he had abundant cause to be satisfied with his journey. Such, indeed, was the friendship with which the Chinese treated him, and so great was the confidence that they placed in him (calling him Padri Tjina—“ The ‘ minister of the Chinese”) that he was strongly importuned to continue in Java, and establish a Chinese Mission there; but important reasons induced him to decline this proposal, in order to rejom Mr. Morrison at Canton. After his departure we are informed, “ that the Chinese in Batavia were enquir- ing after him, and expressing a strong desire that he would re- turn, and explain to them the book he had given them; de- clarmg that they could find no rest in their minds day nor night.” The last letter received from Mr. Milne, was dated Batavia, the 4th of August, 1814, on which day he was to embark for...”

“... Morrison. Mr. Morrison’s continuance at Canton or Macao seems | to be very uncertain. If bis health should not render it neces- | sary to take a voyage, other circumstances may, perhaps, in- | duce him to remove to Malacca—a station which he has long | considered as peculiarly favourable to the advancement of the | Chinese Mission, and to the more extensive diffusion of evan- | gelical truth in the immense regions of India beyond the | Ganges. To forward his pious design, the Directors have dispatched Mr. Thomsen to Java, with a view to his proceed- | ing to Malacca, under the direction of Mr. Morrison and Mr, : Milne. ‘The expence attending the Chinese Mission is unavoidably very considerable ; but its connection with the spiritual advan- tage of so many millions of mankind, will reconcile the So- ciety to the great disbursement; which, however, is much re- lieved by the munificence of the British and Foreign Bible . Society, who, on receiving the first copy of the Chinese New Testament...”

“...hymns. Thus, a number of poor children, who a short time ago were more ignorant, wretched, and depraved than the Heathen, have acquired a large portion of valuable knowledge, and promise to become blessings to the world and to the church of Christ. Many of the Hindoo children also are coming on very well; they are employed daily in reading, copying, and committing to memory parts of the gospels.” He intends to commence another school in a large village in the neighbourhood; and another in the mission garden, for children of the more opulent natives, and in which the most deserving of the children in the native school may have the privilege of learning English, Mr. Hands has been much assisted in his labours, espe- cially in his school, by a Mr. Taylor, a native of Madras, now our Missionary; and lately, by another person, who for many years held the situation of a catechist under a Catholic priest, He is an intelligent and pious man, and goes into the sur- rounding villages, in each of which...”

MISSION TO THE BUSHMEN AT VANDERWALT's POUNTAIN. Tuis station was determined upon before Mr. Campbell left Africa. Intimations having been given to the Bushmen that teachers would be sent to that place, the intelligence cir- culated so widely, and was so well received, that upwards of five hundred of them repaired to the spot eagerly waiting the arrival of the promised Missionary. This is the more remark- able, as the wild imhabitants, being thinly scattered over the country, seldom appear together, in any considerable number, and it is doubted whether so many Bushmen were ever before collected on any occasion. Mr. Smit had been requested to undertake this mission; but his apprehensions of danger had caused him to pause, until hearing at the conference that such a multitude of people expected him, he determined to venture among...”

“...of the past year, we have to notice, with much concern, the death of Mrs. Janz, the wife of our Missionary. She was a converted Hottentot, a woman of good understanding and amiable temper, and whose manners so much resembled those of an European, that nothing but her colour seemed to distinguish her from a humble Christian in this country. Her death is a great loss; for as she could speak the language of Latakkoo, she would have been an excellent interpreter to our brethren, in commencing the mission at that place ; but we trust Gad will raise up another in her room. By her death, Mr. Janz has lost a valuable companion, for she was, as Mr. Read expresses it, “ his dis- ciple, his convert, and his wife.” 2 ih...”

But in the course of his journey, he met with several numerous tribes, and conversed with ten chiefs, whose names he men- tions, who all expressed a readiness to receive instructors, if such should be sent to them. He also found a large river, called the Fish River, on the banks of which there is a considerable ) population in the dry season. On his return, Mr. Schmelen commenced a uew mission at Klip (or Stone) Fountain, in Great Namaqua-land, a little above the Great River, From the other missionary stations near the Cape, Stel- lenbosch, 'Tulbach, and Zurebrach, no particular informa- tion has lately been received, but we have heard that. at George, or Hooge Krall, the work of conversion is still going forward, When Mr. Campbell was in Africa, he recommended to the brethren, whose stations were widely separated, to hold a General Meeting, annually, at some central place, that...”

“...purpose of forming a large and useless fund; but will be freely employed, yet with economy, in the extension of the work, as the providence of God shall direct. Already, encouraged by the augmented income of the Society, the Directors have admitted a large number of students, and sent out many vew labourers ; their efforts have kept pace with their means; and every year, we trust, will witness increasing ardour and multiplied exertions in behalf of the heathen ~ world. They have now in prospect a mission to the Afghan nation in Cabul, supposed by some to be the descendants of the ten lost tribes of Israel; another to the Monguls and Manjurs in and near Irkutsk in Eastern Tartary; and a third to Madagascar; they wish also to strengthen, as soon as possible, the hands of their missionary brethren in various parts of India, who are importunate for additional help. The Directors now submit this brief account of their pro- ceedings to the Society, and will be happy to find it satisfac- tory to them...”

VI. Tue Funps—Arising from donations, legacies, subscrip- tions, collections, &c. shall be lodged, as soon as collected, in the hands of the Treasurer. The Directors shall place in the public funds all monies so paid, whenever they exceed £300, until they are required for the use of the mission; excepting it appears to them prejudicial to the interests of the Society. VII. Sararies.—The Secretary shall receive such a salary as the Directors may appoint; but the Directors themselves shall transact the business of the Society without any emolument. At the annual meeting, held the 14th of May, 1812, Resolved, That those Ministers in the country who are...”
