38 UNPUBLISHED LETTERS OF THE 



preacli, and he will make it appear. I know not what more 

 can be said to convince the gainsayers. At night Corrie 

 preached at the Mission Church on 2 Thessalonians, i, 7-10. 



29. Mr. Des Granges the missionary came to us from 

 Vizagapatam. At night dined at the Governor-Greneral's, and 

 found myself sitting by the side of Dr. Ward, my old opponent. 

 The attention of many was turned to us ; they possibly expected 

 a physical or a theological combat. 



30 Remained alone at Calcutta, making preparations for my 

 departure. 



October I. Preached at night at the Mission Church on 

 Ephesians ii, 19-2 2. 



2. Went up to Serampore, and found them all still full of the 

 happy season they had enjoyed the preceding Monday, when 

 Mr. Des Granges was married to Miss Eoss in my pagoda. 



3. Crossed the water with Corrie and walked with him over 

 Sir G. Barlow's park. 



4. Went to Calcutta, and with Corrie drank tea at Mr. 

 Eolt's [not legible], where we met a party of missionaries with 

 their wives, old Captain Wickes, and others of the people of 

 God. 



5. LordJ's Bay. Jefferies quietly continued his homilies. The 

 clearness, with which the truth was exhibited, was rejoicing to 

 our hearts. In the evening (Parson failing) Corrie preached 

 on John ii, 1-2. 



6. Officiated at the evening worship of a pious family, and 

 found my heart greatly enlarged. In the morning attended the 

 Governor's levee with my two friends. The Governor-General 

 was as marked as possible in his attention to me. Would that it 

 were a regard for the truth ! 



7. Long conversations with Gholan Hussein the Mussulman, 

 and Bholamath Eoy the Brahmin. Fixed on a budgerow. 



8. Preached at night at the Mission Church on Isaiah lii, 7, 

 on the arrival of our two new ministers, but was much grieved 

 and ashamed at the extreme coldness with which I could speak 

 on so delightful a text. 



9. At Serampore we attended a sort of love-feast at the 

 Mission-house. About 50 Bengallee converts sat down to 

 supper with us — English and Bengallee hymns were sung.
