“In consequence of orders from Colonel B., the European artillery, to the amount of four hundred, attended divine service in the dewan. I stood on the marble slab which was occupied formerly by the vizier, when handing up petitions to the emperor, in the balcony above. Many of the officers attended; I preached from Malachi iii. 18. I much fear they did not understand me, but a general attention was given: in the afternoon, I went out to Nonilla, and baptized three children; several of the young officers attended, and kneeled down very devoutly. My heart rejoiced, and was raised to God for a blessing upon them. To all appearance, they are such as our Lord, in the days of his flesh, would have loved; my soul desires their salvation. Oh, that the Lord would take them effectually in hand! Oh, the depth of divine wisdom and knowledge! Alas, that these engaging forms of human nature should be slaves of sin, and so, objects of the divine displeasure. Just and righteous are thy ways, O king of saints! Oh, how I ought to praise God for the acceptance He gives me among men who yet are by no means conformed to His word! Oh, may the good Lord make them willing and obedient, that they may be blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ; and, may all their kindnesses be returned a hundred fold into their bosoms!” Some further particulars of Mr. Corrie’s journey up the country, as well as of his flock at Cawnpore, are found in the following letter.
