The French influence has gained its hundred ; what I call bribery gains its tens. 
The bribe is a dose of physic! The newest dodge of the Jesuits is the gratuitous distribution. 
of medicine. Sceing that the Missionaries distributed and charged for their doses, they have 
commenced to distribute gratis, to whoever will come and “lotu” (or profess) withthem! And 
then they contrast their own liberality with the closeness of the Missionaries. ‘We come to 
you in love,” say they, “but these, to make a gain of you.” The Jesuits can afford to be 
liberal, for for the ten cases they may have to supply, the poor Missionary has his hundreds— 
consuming pounds of calomel and hundredweights of salts. We all know how long a Feke’s 
liberality maybe counted upon. I am.told that the doctrine of free medicines has lately procured 
several converts, chiefly old cases of a sort of leprosy which is brought on by immoderate indul- 
gence in kava intoxication. It is true that such converts are no great loss or gain; but then 
they count and swell the list. 
And now, my dear friend, you have my reasons for wishing to start a “ Medical 
Aid Society” for this Mission, and I leave the matter in your and H. Curisry’s hands, to act 
as you think proper. Make what use you please of this letter. You must not suppose however 
that I am turning “ methodist ;” on the contrary, I honour and love the truly Apostolic branch 
of the Church Catholic, to which we both belong, above every other phase of Christianity, 
believing that with “all her unhappy divisions,” she bears the truest witness to her Lord, and 
has her lamp trimmed with purer oil than burns in any other. But let us remember, that “ He 
that is not against us is for us;” and here at least, (and I trust in many other places, all the 
world over,) the Wesleyans are doing the Church’s work to the utmost of their ability, and seem 
to me to be peculiarly adapted, by their organization, for usefulness in a field like this, Therefore 
I bid them “ God speed.” 
Believe me ever your affectionate friend, 
W. H. HARVEY.
