The chaplain who had been appointed to supersede Mr. Corrie at Cawnpore, having arrived toward the end of February 1812, and entered on the duties of the station, Mr. C. made immediate arrangements for his journey to Calcutta. He lingered for a short time in the hope of being able to see some of the soldiers who were expected back from Callinger, but failing in this, he left Cawnpore on Friday the 28th of February, having first placed four native youths and a native Christian reader under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood. The young person of European descent, of whom mention often occurs in the preceding Journal and letters, accompanied Mr. C. to Calcutta, in order that he might there follow out the study of Greek and Latin, with a view to his being afterwards employed as a missionary. Respecting the religious condition of the native congregation which Mr. C., left at Cawnpore, he observes, under date of March 1, 1812:-- “In September last, we began Hindoostanee worship, which has been attended sometimes by fifty or sixty, but irregularly, and generally by about twenty-five. I have read among them Genesis, with the Gospel of St. Matthew. Left Goon[80] reading Exodus, and the Acts. I had translated Henry’s Commentary on many parts of Genesis, which is left with Mrs. S. Some of the women had learned more or less of the shorter Catechism, and one the whole of it, and had been baptized and married: several of the people manifested great concern at my coming away. I ought to feel more thankful, and may well have great searchings of heart on my own account. I have done much duty as to _quantity_, of late; but have much cause for humiliation in respect of the formal manner of doing it. O Lord! enliven me, and let me be enabled to profit by this journey! Enable me to be a witness for Thee in every place; and to fit myself for further usefulness by due observation of Thy providences! Restore me to health, if it be Thy will, that I may shew forth Thy praises!” As Mr. Corrie was now passing through the scenes of his former labours, some portions of his Journal are subjoined.
