The opposition ! of the East India Com pany, ';Vwhose . empire had " become greater than that of Great Britian it self. 3.

Carey, whom r he, dubbed "the consecrated cobbler. ' Would to God we h ad more 'consecrated cobblers" "of the same kind ! It is well to observe, that there are many people in India who are not properly Hindoos. - The Hindoos are a people akin to ourselves. Their an cestors, with onr&V spoke Sanskrit. Their ancestors went down into Hin jdostanfrom the same portion of Asia from which ours Were. We accuse them of lying and trickery, yet they are of our own race. (The Greek, the finest' specimen of this race, has Always been noted for this.) Of the !20l,000,000 or inhabitants of t India, probably : 50,000,000 are ; aborigines who are peculiarly susceptible to Christianity As, for instance, the Teloogoos, 50,000,000 are Mahome tans. Buddhism is not now in Hin idostan, though it had its rise there. J)r. Broadus, before taking his seat, spoke of the great capacity for learn ing language possessed by Dra.1 Carey and Yates. The former learned Latin whilst stitching shoes, and there is a Latin Grammar of his in the British Museum, stuck together with shbe inaker's wax.1 Of the latter, so mar vellous' ia his knowledge of Chinese language and character, that he is ap plied to again and again to ferret out crimes ; which : the 1 extremely acute Chinaman himself is at a loss to un derstand.

Would it not. be Irell to call the attention of our Southern Bap tists to the importance of these two coun tries as missionary fields ? , The whole of Europe and ; Eusaia are just now. interested in the government of Greece and Palestine, and it strikes rhe that, on many accounts, the pres ent is a favourable time for missiona ry operations in these two most inter esting of the countries of the Old World. , ; Greece ought not . to be a harder field for.
