Then my mind is usually too exhausted for study, and sweet would be the society of some with whom I could talk freely of what Christ did, and said, and suffered for us here below. For the want of such society, very little of the lively feeling I enjoyed in England enters into my experience: yet I am conscious of some more boldness for Christ, and fewer deviations from His holy ways than before; for which I adore His free grace by which alone I stand. These expressions I owe to your affection, who will fear, perhaps, for me; lest by any means the tempter gain the better of me. O, that I could say this were never the case! Yet, though I should justly be deemed a fool for thus boasting to others, yet I may call upon you to rejoice with me that I have obtained help from the Lord thus far, and have a hope that I shall never be ashamed. “From all that has passed, I see further proof that to preach nearly or quite Christianity, and live as the world lives, is the way to popularity: to live and preach so as to fancy to _recommend_ Christianity to the carnal mind, is the way to be little esteemed: to live godly in Christ Jesus is the way to win souls, and to obtain friends, with persecution here, and with the certain expectation of glory hereafter. O Holy Ghost, write these truths with deep conviction on my mind; and let my soul know nothing on earth but Jesus Christ and him crucified!” When it is considered that the labours of a native Teacher cannot but be of great importance, even in the most effective state of Missionary arrangements, it will not excite surprise that in Mr. Corrie’s circumstances at Chunar, the illness of the Bettiah Christian should occasion him anxiety. Mr. C’s journal, however, affords pleasing evidence that the Bettiah-walla in his sickness, found consolation in that gospel which he seems to have been earnestly desirous of making known to his countrymen.
