“The first Sunday in November, having prepared a moveable tabernacle, it was erected at the barracks, and divine service has been performed there every Sunday evening since. On the first few occasions forty or fifty attended, yesterday there were about twenty-five. These are, for the most part, very attentive, and a good deal of devotion appears among them in making the responses, &c. About six, perhaps, attend divine service twice a day. At the hospital one man seems piously affected, another humble and resigned; both these have been long ill and seem daily decaying. One, the first time I spoke expressly to him, declared with much earnestness, that he believed he had never offended his Maker; he now speaks a different language. One man, who was greatly alarmed during a fit of sickness, is, I fear, resting in a “form of godliness,” though his outward conduct is decent, and he comes every Sunday evening to join in worship with me. “At Benares, where I occasionally go, the pious merchant I have mentioned, appears much grown in ‘grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, &c.’ He reads the service of the Church of England and a sermon from some author, twice every Sunday and every Wednesday evening, in a tent erected for that purpose. One Wednesday evening I officiated there among twenty-seven, who heard the word with much attention. One artillery-man of the lately arrived party, the merchant speaks of as hopeful. But I find that last week a restraint was laid upon the artillerymen from attending: I trust it will soon be removed. “Among the Company’s servants there, one known as a proficient in Hindoo literature, has discovered himself well acquainted with evangelical principles. Another Company’s servant seems to me one of the Lord’s secret ones. I trust there is among us ‘as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done,’ one or two.
