One of them, on being asked, what he considered the great peculiarity of the Christian religion? answered, That in every other system of religion, works were made a condition of justification, but that in Christianity, only faith in Christ is required; whilst, wonderful to say, it produced more exemplary holiness than any other system.” By a statement which Mr. Corrie put in circulation at Secrole, dated 11th of March, it will be seen that he was not unmindful of the duties connected with that station:-- “It having been found on enquiry, that many children of Christians, chiefly connected with the native battalions, were without the means of instruction, a school was established in the lines, in the month of February, for their benefit, which now consists of the following number and description of scholars: 4 Adult Christians, learning to read Hindoostanee in the Nagree character. 2 Adult Hindoos, learning to read English. 4 Young men, who were educated for a short time in the Orphan school. 4 Christian youths, who with the last-mentioned, form one class in reading, writing, and casting accounts. 5 Christian boys, who read the New Testament, and write. 10 Christian boys, learning first lessons in English reading and writing. 2 Mahomedan boys, learning first lessons in English reading and writing. 8 Christian girls, learning to read English. -- 39” Of the above-mentioned boys, eight, it was stated, were orphans, or the children of parents who were too indigent to maintain them; the consequence was that they had to be provided with sustenance as well as education.

About the middle of March, Mr. Corrie again visited Chunar. In a letter from Benares, dated March 24, 1818, he writes:--
