God bless you, dear, kind Christian friends! God bless you for your kindness toward me! Do not let the interest die out when I go out of your sight. I go to fight against sin, idolatry, and superstition, and you who stay at the camp, or in the magazine rather, send me ammunition and instructions, according to my need. This is the way to carry on work. Trust in God, India’s future religion will be Liberal Christianity. Farewell to you all for a while. If Providence spares my life, I may again, after four or five years of Christian labors, seek rest in your homes, and personally tell you about the work of God. And if it be his will that I shall depart from the world soon, what shall hinder our meeting in our Father’s mansions? Farewell! “Lo, I will be with you always” in the spirit. Heaven’s smile be upon you all, is the prayer of your friend and brother, J. C. GANGOOLY. Cambridge: Stereotyped and Printed by Welch, Bigelow, & Co. FOOTNOTES: [1] See Appendix. [2] In the English language there is no word to distinguish the brother’s son from that of a sister. The Bengalees have different words to define every relation distinctly. They have words to denote strictly wife’s sisters, husband’s sisters, his elder and younger brothers, the father-in-law of son, the children of the mother’s and father’s sisters, &c. [3] See similar custom among the Jews, Luke ii. 22. [4] They do not use knives, forks, and spoons at the table, not because they are ignorant of their services, but they do not need them. So is the case with the table. They sit all separate as the custom requires, and wash everything, even the floor, after the meal. They use the right hand for food, and the left for the drink. If rice or any boiled food should fall on the clothes, they will be washed after the meal. Owing to these peculiarities, the Hindoos do not use table, knives, &c., like Christians, who hardly wash themselves after the meal as the Hindoos do. I have occasionally used the “_table_” in the place of floor, in order to follow the English idiom. [5] Means the son or daughter’s father-in-law.
