"He went last to the old merchant, who has a house at Debli, where he formerly resided, and with some of whose children Abdool was educated. He treated Abdool with more affection than any of the others; and was much moved by his exhortations to seek sal vation from Christ at the eleventh hour. He, and two others of the whole crowd assembled, took a copy of St. Matthew's Gospel Many might have been given away; but, where no disposition appeared to read them, it was thought best not to give them.

In one company, Abdool had occasion to mention his having been baptized by Mr. Brown, Sonie one inquired, Where is Mr. Brown now?'-Abd. He is where he has long intended to go.

af Feb. 5. — An event occurred to-day, which Abdool related with great pleasure. At Monickpore resides an aged man, of venerable appearance, with a flowing white beard, who is considered a holy man. ffe is the proprietor of several villages; and is a mans of more than ordinary good-nature He has many servants and many disciples, and keeps open house for travellers.

and asked Abdool who he was? wbitent kom
one of mankind, a servant of God. The
master of the house pressed him to go in;
and ordered food to be brought for him, and
for a Christian Jad who was with kimes On
the food being brought, he himself set it be
fore them, and begged them to eat→→ Abti.
Excuse me, I may not eat of your disties;
not that I have any objection to eat with you,
or with any one: but Lam a Christian; and
should I eat with you, your disciples would
say you had lost caste. You are, at al]
events, a good man, for thus explaining to
me, and I am happy to see you. Pray have
the English any books besides histories and
books of amusement ?— Abd. Yes! sure-
ly; they have the Books of Moses, of the
Prophets, and the Gospel. All the ancient
books are in their possession Yes! the
Law, the Psalus, the Gospel, and the Ke-
tan. I know there are four Divine Books."
Abd. Well! all these are in the hands of
the English; though of these there are many
books which you include under the name of
the Law; mentioning Isaiah and Daniel,
and saying that David was the author of
the Psalms. 'Well,' said the Old Man, ♦I
never knew that before and have the Eng-
lish any kind of worship among them?—
Abd. Certainly they have but they are
taught to shut their door, and to pray to their
Father who seeth in secret. They phice no
dependence on outward observances for sal-
vation. Why, it you are to be judged ac-
cording to your opinions, by your works, you
must be condemned. You are required to
have on clean clothes when you worship;
and that is easily obeyed but then you are
also to exclude the world from your minid,
and to worship with the heart intensely fired
on God, (repeating a verse of the Korait in
proof.) Now do you this fulG! the pre-
cept? The Old Man said, 4 Oh no!
Abd Then are you" not an offender?
Alas! yes. Abd. Now the Christians
are taught to believe in Jesus as enduring the
shame and pain and death, on the Cross,
which they deserve; and that, through.
in his sufferings, they shall be saved. They
do indeed obey God; yet not of themselves,
but by his grace; and their obedience
tends their satymion, though not a the pric
of it.' The Old Man expressed great thinks
