Early in January 1814, Mr. Corrie left Agra on a visit to Delhi; and was there met by some natives from Meerut, who were desirous of baptism. One of these was a Moonshee, in the service of Dr. R., and who, from conversation with Abdool Messeeh, and the reading of the translated Scriptures, had been convinced that ‘Jesus is the Son of God.’ Another was a Molwee, a native of Rampoor, who had, in like manner, been led to expect salvation only through Christ. A third was an aged Birajee, who possessed great influence among the natives, but whose faith in the Hindoo and Mahomedan systems had been completely shaken by the deistical writings of Cuber, a satirical poet, who lived at Benares. This Birajee had made many enquiries respecting the Christian religion, and once thought of joining the Romish sect, but was deterred from doing so by finding that they used images in their worship. He had ultimately been brought to a knowledge of “the truth as it is in Jesus,” by the perusal of the New Testament, a copy of which, in the Nagree, he had lately obtained. For the sake, therefore, of these and other natives, Mr. Corrie determined on a visit to Meerut. There he had the satisfaction to find a congregation of from twenty to thirty Christians, under the direction of Mr. Bowley,[90] assisted by the Hukeem from Agra; and after due enquiry and examination, he baptized the Rampoor Molwee and the Birajee, on Sunday, January 30. On the following day Mr. C. baptized also a native woman, and returned to Agra early in February. It may here be mentioned, that the success with which it pleased God to mark the labours of Mr. Corrie and his friends at Agra, made that city a place toward which those, not unnaturally, looked for assistance, who were anxious for the spread of the gospel among the tribes of Northern India. Mr. C. was therefore, frequently requested to supply, from among the converts at Agra, scripture-readers, to be employed at other stations. In answer to an application of that nature, he writes-- TO CAPTAIN PEEVOR. “Feb. 3. 1814.
