CHAPTER IX. 
SERMON PREACHED BY MR. NOBBS IN THE ISLAND THE 
HARP OF PITCAIRN. 
THE reader will be glad of the opportu- 
nity of seeing some specimens of discourses 
preached in the distant island of Pitcairn to 
the descendants of the mutineers of the 
Bounty. It is pleasing to observe, from the 
faithful and affectionate tone of address 
adopted by the Preacher of Pitcairn towards 
the little flock assembled in the church of 
that place, that they have the blessed means 
of learning what is the faith and duty of a 
Christian. It will also be seen, that these 
extracts, as well as some poetical ones which 
follow, possess a certain degree of literary 
merit, independently of the peculiar interest 
of their source.
